[02:16] sfears: apply all updates first [02:16] IMORB, is this a new problem or as it always been like this ? [02:16] alright [02:16] anyone at all? [02:16] Pelo: I use a mix of xmms, listen, muine, totem, I have no favorites i like to install as many as possible and see what I can get used to most [02:16] new [02:16] got a major noob question that could be easily answered hopefully... [02:16] sfears: look here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [02:16] lockd, check in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org [02:16] i have seen this just in the last few days [02:16] jwbbccp, jsut ask [02:16] IdleOne xmms ownez you [02:16] will check it out [02:16] jack_sparrow: you get that [02:16] <_ebirtaid> xmms sucks ;) [02:16] can i install ubuntu on an external drive partition and then boot from the external? [02:16] :-( [02:17] IMORB, i'm stumpped [02:17] <_ebirtaid> jwbbccp: yes [02:17] <_ebirtaid> just move your usb hdd to the top in bios [02:17] jwbbccp: sure, go nuts [02:17] jwbbccp: does your bios have the support for it? [02:17] Pelo: and rhythmbox [02:17] domor: Looking now.. sorry .. but trying to do too many things atm [02:17] hello why doesn't desktop effect load my compiz settings at startup? [02:17] sfears:let me know how you get on [02:17] dunno... major noob... [02:17] mac mini intel core 2 duo [02:17] Pelo, i am sorry this never happened in feisty but happened three times in gutsy [02:17] Pelo: i've dug and scoured, and I accept even solutions from other Unices.. so I've searched everywhere [02:17] jwbbccp, yes you can, I recommend you install grub on the external drive as well, try setting the external as boot partition in the bios while you run the install [02:17] !install | jwbbccp [02:17] jwbbccp: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [02:18] Pelo: a way to force mencoder to use NO VIDEO would be acceptable [02:18] :S gksu works but gksu nautilus doesn't make the nautilus window popup.. [02:18] jwbbccp: _ebirtaid: he should put the GRUB partition on an internal drive [02:18] IMORB: have you used anything like Automatix? if so, that may well be contributing to the problem. [02:18] <_ebirtaid> if he does that it will have to boot from the primary drive in bios [02:18] my computer shut down in the middle of installing upgrades last night, now it hangs when i try to download & upgrade. Is there a way i can flush everything out and start over? [02:18] lockd use vid=null [02:18] <_ebirtaid> not usb [02:18] IMORB, check in appearance, see if you have compiz enabled , there are 3 levels I beleive make sure you are completely disabled [02:18] no video [02:18] mneptok: no I have not used any of those packages [02:18] Pelo: I like that - put grub in both places. clever [02:19] Pelo I will try that [02:19] wait.. looks like it's movinbg [02:19] moving* [02:19] IMORB: invoke Totem from the command line and see what errors it spews. [02:19] _ebirtaid: I like what pelo said, put it both places [02:19] <_ebirtaid> that would work also [02:19] desertc, actualy I mean just put grub on the external, ie the same hdd you have ubuntu on , that way when you remove the hdd the boot process is not affected [02:20] <_ebirtaid> pelo: yes :D [02:20] mneptok: it says jackd not found [02:20] Pelo: Putting it in both places would be more resilient. [02:20] * Pelo has two hdd one with windows and one with ubuntu and he can remove either, the other way , he can't remove any [02:20] that's not the first time my computer has shut down in the middle of upgrades. I think linux should have some kind of resume, windows works pretty well [02:20] desertc agreeed removing a hd and having grub on a non removable = truble [02:20] this is getting extremely annoying. In KDE, everytime i accidentally hit control-backspace, it kills KDE and I'm left with a beige background with just my cursor. anyone have this happen? [02:20] desertc: then wich grub boots wich hdd? [02:21] IdleOne; whichever is configured in BIOS [02:21] its ctrl alt backspace [02:21] IMORB: "totem /path/to/video.mpg" [02:21] jack_sparrow: Cheers, there is alsot going on on here cheers thought a much appreciated [02:21] cappicard its ctrl alt backspace kills x [02:21] gogeta: I know [02:21] desertc, not realy, grub is in two parts, phase one on the boot sector of the bios boot hdd, phase 2 on which ever partiton ubuntu is located, if phase one can'T find phase two you are screwed which is why it is better to have both on the same hdd [02:21] X is still running,but KDE is dead. [02:21] Can someone help me convert proprietary video (MPEG, Apple Quicktime) to open source formats (Ogg Theora) please? [02:22] do you guys know of a free library designed for accessing multiple archive formats (7z, rar, zip, tar, gz, bzip2)? [02:22] desertc: then he would have to set bios everytime he removes the drive. leaving it on the external and setting bios to boot for usb and then from hdd makes more sense I would think [02:22] what are the advantages of using kde over gnome? [02:22] i'm going to check out those sites the bot sent me to... thx for the help, i'll be back if i have more questions... [02:22] i have to kill X with ctrl-alt-bksp [02:22] cappicard you mean gdm is starting back up its supposed to [02:22] fascinating. desktop cube, emerald, os-x-like theme, awm all working great.. then i click on the workspace switcher in the dock, and the dock loses all icons, the top menu disappears, and no windows are display. alt-f2 works, though. does this ring a bell w/ anyone? using restricted ati driver and xgl [02:22] sfears: did you apply the upgrades first? [02:22] Hi - my eth0 connection does not come up automatically; I have to run dhclient when I log in. /var/log/syslog says NetowrkManager disables it: http://pastebin.com/m65148fa0 What can I do? [02:22] mneptok: video plays but still says jackd not found [02:22] Godscape, google or search the forum for mov2avi [02:22] sfears: sorry the updates [02:22] Pelo: Phase two happens when you select a kernel, so you just don't select the kernel when the drive is removed. ? [02:22] IMORB: no shutdown? [02:22] Godscape, or some such [02:22] gogeta: after i kill the X server, yes. [02:22] jack_sparrow: what you think? [02:22] <_ebirtaid> jhon_r: kde is more like windows [02:22] <_ebirtaid> and sucks [02:22] mneptok: i am having this problem once in 3-4 days [02:22] Pelo: ffmpeg2theora? [02:22] <_ebirtaid> ;) [02:22] but i keep hitting control-backspace [02:23] hi, id like to have dual boot, windows vista and ubuntu. which one should i install first or it does not matter? [02:23] IdleOne: Your BIOS doesn't let you set a boot order? [02:23] i am formating a 2 drive 800 gig lvm what is the best file system to use ext3 or ext2 or something else? [02:23] cappicard oh its not killing gdm [02:23] leaving me with a useless session until i restart X [02:23] no [02:23] mneptok: no shutdown [02:23] no.. i didn't, i went straight to distro upgrade [02:23] IMORB: that's somewhat reassuring [02:23] gdm returns to the login sreen [02:23] i figured they'd all be packaged in there with it [02:23] screen [02:23] desertc, phase two is the grub menu.lst file wich is located in the ubuntu partiton under /boot/grub/menu.lst [02:23] cd #sh [02:23] doh >_< [02:23] IMORB: and it plays despite the error? [02:23] cappicard its supposed to [02:23] right whos gonna merge the best of gnome with best of kde [02:23] Pelo: Oooohh... [02:23] computer_01: I would guess you have to install Vista first, Ubuntu second [02:23] mneptok: i know i wanted to know is this coz of the hd issues [02:23] mneptok: yes it does play [02:24] cappicard what you whant it to do crash to text? [02:24] Previous versions of Windows would wipe out the disk when they installed [02:24] IMORB: what HD issues? [02:24] pgan, thanks. can any1 confirm this? :) [02:24] hmmm [02:24] ah gotta go folks [02:24] computer_01: yes windows first [02:24] Pelo: Well, just copy that file to both drives. That's not too bad. [02:24] just out of interest anyone had any rpoblesm with "restricted vido drivers" and booting [02:24] mneptok: I was reading on launchpad about hd spinning too much [02:24] ok thnx [02:24] desertc, phase one only points to one files on one partition [02:24] IMORB: you own a laptop? [02:25] you're welcome computer_01 [02:25] computer_01, ... but why would you even want to have WIndows weigh you down?? [02:25] mneptok: yes i do wn a laptop [02:25] Pelo: So you have two disks, two boot loaders, and two /boot partitions.... [02:25] mneptok: it is a toshiba [02:25] IMORB: and it's not plugged into the wall? [02:25] gogeta: no. i want KDE to stop crashing when i hit ctrl-backspace. [02:25] pgan, its for a customer :\ [02:25] Pelo: Depending on which disk the BIOS chooses, will be set up to boot and select either disk [02:25] cappicard dont hit ctrl backspace [02:25] lol [02:25] mneptok: it is and I have my battery out [02:25] IMORB: then the issue does not affect you [02:25] odd key combo ctrl-backspace [02:25] gogeta: i keep hitting it accidentally when i type fast. [02:25] i tried telling them to only use ubuntu but you know.... [02:26] IdleOne: it should not cause kde to die [02:26] cappicard well thats a x-kill command [02:26] mneptok: oh ok then it must be my heatsink [02:26] so i have to slit the HD and have a dual boot [02:26] mneptok: not my laptop then [02:26] desertc, I guess you can have an internal hdd with it's own phase one , pointing to phase two on that same internal hdd, with a menu.lst file on that hdd that has an entry poiting to a kernel on the external hdd and vice versa on the external hdd, if you like things complicated [02:27] cappicard get a penny or some tape and a pice a paper marked no lol [02:27] mneptok: thanks a lot [02:27] * Pelo doesnt, realy want to talk to desertc anymore he just makes simple things realy complicated [02:27] Pelo: thanks, I think it is my hardware issue [02:27] IMORB: the jackd error is safely ignored. [02:27] cappicard:, is it KDE or X which crashes? [02:27] IMORB, I didn'T help much but I'm a sucker for gratitude so I'll take it [02:27] KDE [02:27] pgan: hes hitting the kill command [02:28] How can I make VLC the default application for DVDs and videos? [02:28] X is still running. [02:28] mneptok: yes it is safely accepted [02:28] mneptok: what is jackd [02:28] then I dunno, sorry [02:28] i have no choice but to restart X at that point [02:28] Godscape, menu > sytem> prefs > removable media [02:28] hm is there a xchat totem now playing plugin ??? :) [02:28] Pelo: The added complexity is to accommodate whether the external drive is booting or not, and when it is removed, the computer isn't disabled. It's not any more complex than setting up a bootable USB stick. [02:28] cappicard i would check your keybord maybe the alt key is stuck down [02:28] ctrl backspace shouldent kill it [02:29] alt needs to be pressed [02:29] the combination is Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, yes [02:29] desertc, what you need to consider is , what do you ahve on the internal hdd ? jsut windows ? then forget about putting grub on that , it won'T need it , just put grub on the external and boot from the external when you have to [02:29] afk [02:31] hello :) [02:31] Thanks, Pelo! [02:31] cappicard: try using the DontZap option for your keyboard. See "man xorg" [02:31] pgan but wouldent that disable killing from keybord [02:31] i have a question. when I try to mount the windows partition from gnome it says it can't and gives me an error msg that if i want to mount it i could force mount it ... any ideas? [02:32] Hi - my eth0 connection does not come up automatically; I have to run dhclient when I log in. /var/log/syslog says NetowrkManager disables it: http://pastebin.com/m65148fa0 What can I do? [02:32] pgan you need that sometimes [02:32] crazyman: are you dual-booting? make sure you cleanly shutdown Windows [02:32] pgan cant he just change the hot keys from that combo to another maybe ctrl alt delete [02:32] lol so used to /join #gentoo, took me a minute to realize where i was [02:33] Jack_Sparrow: If you can help me please email me, little_lethal@hotmail.com [02:33] oh wait [02:33] gogeta: yes, I was guesing that the key combo was killing X [02:33] im off [02:33] pgan ctrl alt home [02:33] bye [02:33] scguy318, yea maybe thats the issue im going to double check thanks! [02:33] pgan cant he remap it [02:33] _ebirtaid: its funny, that guide says most users cant get conky to work properly but i dont see whats so difficult about it [02:34] gogeta and cappicard: I good idea, I don't know KDE. cappicard - check for that [02:35] ok, so I realized my torrenting problem...I imported my old firefox settings from Kubuntu, and it was listing Ktorrent. I removed those settings, and my torrents opened in the default BitTorrent client, but they aren't downloading. Where are the options for BitTorrent so I can enter my forwarded ports from my router? [02:35] pgan well having dontzap can be bad swence if x does lock he whont be able to force kill it easly [02:35] <_ebirtaid> fn'stgmavrick: it is pretty straight forward [02:35] pgan well i guess sudo killall x would work [02:35] _ebirtaid: since i have my top bar enabled, i want to edit # Gap between borders of screen and text [02:35] gap_x 10 [02:35] gap_y 10 [02:35] correct? [02:35] sorry about that! [02:36] <_ebirtaid> yep [02:36] gogeta, cappicard: alright, check if you can change the KDE bindings first [02:36] <_ebirtaid> depending which axis you want it to be different on [02:36] He can also use Alt+F1 to get to a console, then killall X [02:36] yea i said that [02:37] fluffman: use gconf-editor to increase the maxport by 5-6 for more download streams [02:37] Sorry, Control+Alt+F1 === holymoly is now known as holycow [02:37] but i have had some nasty locks befor not even that worked [02:37] how can i make my gdesklets icon show in my taskbar? [02:37] couldent get to text [02:37] but in most cases yea killall works [02:38] My eth0 connection does not come up automatically; I have to run dhclient when I log in. /var/log/syslog says NetowrkManager disables it: http://pastebin.com/m65148fa0 Ideas anyone? [02:38] hi [02:38] hello [02:38] how can i make my gdesklets icon show in my taskbar? [02:39] i have ubuntu 7.04 loaded into my virtual machine using vmware [02:39] Dethlok just add em [02:39] vm's are for wimps! :P [02:39] Dethlok, it usualy doesn't and when it does ppl ask how to make it go away , why do you want it ? [02:39] <_ebirtaid> thats good untung [02:39] how can i upgrade to unbuntu 7.1? should i use download or use the cd? [02:39] its easier to turn it off with that little icon =) [02:39] <_ebirtaid> download is easier [02:39] lol [02:40] ok... it's shift-backspace that is killing kde [02:40] i just did the update and it worked great for me [02:40] untung, I recommend you get the alt cd or the dvd and upgrade from that , it's actualy a bit quicker [02:40] Pelo people ask on how to make windows go away to hehe [02:40] gogeta, linux is the only AV i found that gets rid of windows [02:41] Pelo hehehe [02:41] oh wait... xgl has shift-backspace mapped. wtf [02:41] * Pelo just needs to convince his brother [02:41] pelo: in my case should i reinstall using the cd? [02:41] Hello [02:41] I've got an Xsession error [02:41] <_ebirtaid> why reinstall? [02:41] haha..untung=luck [02:41] Pelo man thers a markting sceme there conserder it stolen [02:41] untung, no you can upgrade using the cd , but you can clean install to if you want [02:41] its quite a long read so could someone take a look at it please? [02:42] Pelo linux antivires effectly gets rid of the windows virise [02:43] i want grub to be able to let me choose which default language to boot into anyone kno how? [02:43] gogeta, the slogan : " Mcaffe coudln't to it , Symantec couldn'T do it , Avast couldn't do it, only linux can cure your computer of Windows" [02:43] ok... wtf decided to assign shift-backspace to restart xgl needs to be shot [02:43] Pelo hehe [02:43] boontoo, your best bet would be to ask in #grub, but I donT, think it is possible , you can choose the default language from the ubuntu login screen however [02:43] Pelo 2008 edtion now removes the vista trojen [02:44] there we go. if i assign a default layout to my keyboard, it effectively disables that key sequence. [02:44] is that in the FAQ? [02:44] Pelo: ok wel is there a way that i can use a different language automatically depending on who is logged in? eg for me its english but when my gf logs in its japanese [02:44] gogeta, I got a coworker to try gutsy, I 'm gonna have news about it tomorrow, he was gonna format his hdd anyway , he had a bunch fo viris the couldn'T get rid of [02:45] Pelo hehe bet that worked out great [02:45] Pelo all dead in 1 swoop [02:45] boontoo, I think that is default, meaning language is part of the user's prefs [02:45] Pelo ok === nrp_ is now known as nrp [02:46] gogeta, the coworker in question is fairly green, I hope he can manage it on his own, but since he's clean installing anyway and using he whole hdd it shouldn'T be too bad [02:46] Hello maytees [02:47] <_ebirtaid> pelo: is he computer literate at all? [02:47] I moved my hard disk from one system to another. Everything seems to be working ok, but I'd like to drop the res of the screen to 1024x768, but it doesn't respond. If I edit the xorg.conf and remove the not wanted display setting and restart X would that fix it?

I did not see any option to switch back to gnome, or for that matter any option at all pertaining to logins [03:01] hmm [03:01] the noscript plugin package in gutsy depends on iceweasel, rather than firefox, and so won't install. [03:01] pgan, is this an upgrade to gutsy ? I know I had to redo my network config because it ddint, import properly , you might want to consider doing that if you upgraded [03:02] that seems silly. [03:02] Is there a command to switch from a terminal? [03:02] why does Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon have a line in /etc/apt/sources.list that causes it to look for packages in the installation CD by default?!

[03:34] desertc: ok then :) [03:34] phaedra, I speak spanish :D [03:35] phaedra, could you give it to me ? [03:35] how do i control the resolution that is displayed when i go into CTRL+ALT+F1? Im on a widescreen laptop and the screen is cut off when i go into that terminal screen [03:35] BADKITTY: Have you looked in the Hardware Informatin for it? [03:35] hey [03:35] its me again [03:35] hi guys, does anybody know of some good project management systems/PMS they can tell me? === rob1 is now known as rob [03:35] nightdragon_: I knew it was gonna crash [03:35] nightdragon: THis time let gears run and tell me how many fps you are seeing [03:35] badkitty: sorry, i tried to enable desktop effects and it crashed, lol [03:35] carl_ Okay ;) Si esta aqui... http://www.ubuntu-es.org/index.php?q=node/67596 [03:35] phaedra, ok thanks man. [03:36] is there a way to install ubuntu from a usb drive? [03:36] carl_, np... [03:36] jmolek28: yes [03:36] jmolek28: sorry, *from* a usb drive. I'm not sure, never heard of that [03:36] jmolek: Wow. Maybe if your BIOS will let you boot from USB [03:36] you're right, it's not very hard at all. I see how to set it to run on a single day in a week, but how can I get it to run every day except for the weekends (without writing all the stuff over 5 times?) [03:36] tatterdemalian: looking ... dont see it .. its a new 500 gig drive... [03:37] hi [03:37] BADKITTY: If you don't see it, Ubuntu isn't recognizing it... dunno what else to say [03:37] phaedra: My eth0 network still did not come up after I rebooted. Roaming mode is still disabled and DHCP is enabled in Network Settings. The messages in /var/log/syslog are at http://pastebin.com/d45d5c2b9 [03:38] one more question about cron, does the week start on monday or sunday for the day of the week setting? [03:38] BADKITTY: do you see any related messages when you type 'dmesg' ? [03:38] is there seriously 1135 users in this channel? jeez [03:38] What seems strange to me is the message "NetworkManager: ^IDeactivating device eth0." [03:40] BADKITTY: also (and I'm sorry if you already answered this), but do you have another OS installed that can see the disk (i.e. Windows)? Do you know if it works at all? [03:41] dfcarney: This is a whole bunch of output: I didn't see any msg... I do have a xp installation that can see the drive fine [03:41] nightdragon: How many fps are you getting in glxgears? [03:41] pgan, check /etc/network/interfaces for the card... I see it's a xircom. I have a Thinkpad too but I use wireless only now. [03:41] Is there a way to mount NTFS partitions in fstab such that I have continual RW permissions? [03:41] BADKITTY: is it connected via USB, by SATA, or IDE? [03:42] can anyone tell me where the config file is for grdesktop? [03:42] where can I find example for conforming of apache2.2.6+tomcat6.0.14 ? [03:42] its not in the documentation [03:43] dfcarney: I have both the installation drive and the second drive using Sata: I also have two USB drives that do show up (when they are plugged in) and a third SATA that is sitting doing nothing cause my board only has 2 sata ports [03:43] who can give me the url for my need [03:43] phaedra: Yes, it's a xircom. /etc/network/interfaces includes the lines "iface eth0 inet dhcp" and "auto eth0" [03:43] badkitty: like 800 or so [03:43] and both the SATA drives are on the same controller? hmmm... [03:43] ok... some questions about crontab [03:43] nope... 197 [03:44] Do I have to run sudo in front of crontab -e? what day of the week does it start on? do I have to do anything besides edit the file? [03:44] BADKITTY: type something like "dmesg | grep sd" and browse the output to see if the second drive shows up in the messages [03:44] nightdragon - yeah I doubt you have the correct drivers ..mine is outputting atleast 2000 - 3500 [03:44] phaedra: I have a Thinkpad A21m which does not have a network card, and I can't find a PCMCIA one that works with Linux. But that's another issue. [03:44] BADKITTY: you should see entries for sda, sdb, etc... for each disk (if they're detected) [03:45] How many letters are allowed in freenode quit messages? [03:45] pgan: if that PCMCIA card doesn't have a native Linux driver try ndiswrapper [03:45] dfcarney: I think I see it as sdb, its the only one with 500 gigs ... [03:46] BADKITTY: so the kernel sees it [03:46] BADKITTY: that's good. is it listed in /proc/scsi/scsi? [03:46] badkitty: how to fix? [03:46] i wish linksys would just get with it and have linux drivers... bastards [03:47] haha [03:47] nightdragon: hang on bud.. [03:47] Is it like possible that software won't work after building a computer. [03:47] BADKITTY: if so, type 'cat /proc/partitions' to see if the partition table on the disk is recognized [03:47] what about internal wireless network, i have it on my laptop, but i have no idea how to work it, anyone know where i should start? [03:47] It seems eveyrthing is just dieing [03:48] scguy318: it doesn't work too well with ndiswrapper either. [03:48] dfcarney: I think it is in there, how do I use cat? [03:48] is it possible to use compiz in gutsy with ATI drivers (fglrx)? [03:48] oh I mistyped no wonder [03:49] scguy318: I wish I could just buy something that has Linux drivers :-/ [03:49] what does the cat command stand for? [03:49] 8 16 488386584 sdb [03:49] 8 17 488384001 sdb1 [03:49] 8 16 488386584 sdb [03:49] 8 17 488384001 sdb1 [03:49] sfears: concatenate [03:49] wtf? [03:49] Sorry for that [03:49] sfears: open a terminal and type "man cat" [03:49] does anyone know of a utility for linux so i can transfer mp3's into my ipod? [03:49] pgan, there are plenty of pcmcia cards that work in linux... I use a trendnet on my thinkpad with 7.04... the interfaces file is fine. I think it might be the xircom... dmesg reports that 'xircom_cb' doesn't support carrier detection. [03:49] BADKITTY: (don't paste output to the forum). anyhow, looks like the partition is there [03:50] if this was scrabble i'd make you look that word up [03:50] sfears: concatenate [03:50] dfcarney: I know thats why i siad sorry.. i figure 2 lines max is ok [03:50] pgan, It looks like it's the driver... [03:50] BADKITTY: you'll want to try something like "sudo mount -t /dev/sdb1 /media/disk" [03:50] ubuntu doesn't use sysv init.. what do you call what it does use? I wanted to read up on it [03:50] tomd123: cli or graphical? [03:50] BADKITTY: make sure that "/media/disk" exists and isn't used by something else [03:51] duvnell: Upstart I think [03:51] How do I get avahi to leave mt wlan0 interface alone? [03:51] thx [03:51] BADKITTY: it can be any directory -- you just need a mount point [03:51] phaedra: I saw that message... so the driver does not support it, eh? But can't I stop NetworkManager from disabling the connection? [03:51] badkitty: graphical [03:51] BADKITTY: is it ntfs? [03:51] phaedra: and supposedly your xircom card worked as expected - connection was up when you boot? [03:52] phaedra: perhaps if I upgrade to gutsy? [03:52] dfcarney: Yeah it should be.. thats how I remember formatting it [03:52] BADKITTY: so you'll want to use "sudo mount -t ntfs ..." [03:52] if anyone is using X.org to disply multi screens or devices on ubuntu could you pastebin me your xorg.conf [03:52] tomd123: Umm doesn't rhythmbox have ipod ability? [03:52] BADKITTY: that'll give you read-only access. for read-write, you'll want to read up on ntfs-3g [03:52] i mean multi-x or dual head display [03:53] dfcarney: it didn't work it said no such file ... FUSE mount point creation failed [03:53] cubedsi: sure.. can you gimme a minute [03:53] badkitty: will it let me transfer files to my ipod? [03:53] G'day, I'm running the latest release, I've installed xfonts-jmk to get the 'neep' font for my terminal, I've run sudo fc-cache -f -v to update the cache, its still not available as a font to gnome-terminal, nor is it appearing in fonts:/// from nautilus [03:53] yeah, YES TY! [03:53] anyone here got hackintosh running? ;p [03:53] Evanlec, yes [03:53] nope.. but i saw the video yesterday, looks cool [03:53] Jupp2, yea? [03:53] BADKITTY: so create the directory first with "sudo mkdir /media/disk" [03:54] tomd123: I really think so.. google rhythmbox ubuntu and read the abilities. its either that one or .... [03:54] Jupp2, i just got a Leopard disc [03:54] how to update kubuntu manaually [03:54] Evanlec, retail? [03:54] Jupp2, i pop it in my drive and it comes up as "bootcamp" [03:54] dfcarney: Oh did I not pay attention when you said it had to exist already? [03:54] Jupp2, not sure, my stepmother got it from apple in the mail... [03:54] pgan, My eth0 always worked it's just the modem section that always gave me trouble. 7.10 might be better... The drivers are all up to date. [03:54] BADKITTY: hehe, no, you didn't pay attention :) [03:54] what is hackint0sh? [03:54] i guess it wasn't a video.. and at the end it said you have to leave the cd in the drive to boot everytime. is that true? [03:54] Evanlec, you have to modify it in order to install in a PC [03:54] Jupp2, right, im aware [03:55] Jupp2, but how do u extract the contents off the disc? [03:55] Jupp2, it seems to be hiding the guts from me, all it shows is this bootcamp stuff [03:55] cubedsi, its a patch for mac os 10.5 that lets it run on pc hardware [03:55] phaedra: Thanks. I am kinda afraid to upgrade to Gutsy, don't know what will break :-/ [03:55] Evanlec, you really can't modify it in Linux afaik [03:56] Jupp2, what?!? [03:56] Jupp2, what can u modify it in then? windows? lol [03:56] oh nifty hackintosh [03:56] hello all [03:56] Hello. I'm having a problem with Ubuntu. Recently, and I'm not sure why, all the window frames disappeared. Could anyone help me with this? [03:56] Evanlec, all the guides I found to modify the disk assumed you had Tiger installed so they explained how to do it under osx [03:57] Jupp2, i see, well she has leopard installed already, can i do it from there/ [03:57] owlin did you search online yet? [03:57] pgan, I'm running 7.04 on mine... Haven't gone to 7.10 yet. You'll probably need to use no acpi to boot it... [03:57] No. But, I more or less want to know if this is a simple bug. Or something serious. [03:58] pgan: got space on your driver for another partition? [03:58] phaedra: why not acpi? acpi=force works fine up to 7.04 [03:58] whattt issssssss Trac!!!! [03:58] cubedsi: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44679/ [03:58] my head will explode going deep into linux~! [03:58] http://paste.lisp.org/display/50923. [03:58] Evanlec, if you have leopard already installed then you can follow this guide: http://forum.osx86scene.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2008 [03:58] I am unable to play mkv files with mplayer. how come? [03:58] owlin: curious, have you used any scripts to install things... automatix or others like it..? [03:58] getting upgrade error [03:58] its saying cannot connect to socket. [03:58] No. [03:58] im so deep that im lost help me what is Trac and what is many other things like evpoint [03:58] from update-manager [03:58] I only use synaptic or the terminal to install things. [03:58] i messed up my graphic card / monitor settings - I need to boot in low graphics mode, but I set grub to skip the menu of choices, it says hit ESC for menu, but ESC doesn't make it give the menu [03:58] although i don't see how. plays fine with vlc/movie player [03:59] And I haven't installed anything recently. [03:59] desertc: thanks, I plan to try with another laptop dirve [03:59] owlin: HAve you changed repos or added things from outside the repos [03:59] No. I didn't do anything out of the normal listening to music, talking to friends using Pidgin, and using Firefox. [03:59] hello everybody...i'm a new to ubuntu...i have a query...could someone please help me out? [03:59] dfcarney: cool I got it to mount ... now will it auto mount for me if I were to reboot? [04:00] I just started my computer up one day, and saw the window frames missing. [04:00] wintubuntu, what's your problem? [04:00] Jupp2, thx [04:00] pgan: many people have said they had no trouble. as for me, I recommend backing up your data [04:00] cubedsi: Did you find it? [04:00] i have 2 hard drives a scsi and an ide 1. ubuntu is installed on the scsi 1 along with dual boot xp [04:00] Is there any way I can tell all avahi-related daemons to never ever screw with my wlan0 interface? [04:00] ahhh, what processors support sse3? [04:01] Evanlec, I recommend that you get some of the iso floating around since modifying is not an easy task [04:01] pgan, I just didn't want to force it... Here's a link to check out. http://www.nabble.com/IBM-Thinkpad-t4677243.html there are some others on that site too. [04:01] BADKITTY: no. for that, you need to install it in /etc/fstab [04:01] Jupp2, really? i was gonna grab a torrent, but 6gb is a longgg download [04:01] BADKITTY: i just wanted to make sure it would mount [04:01] in ubuntu, only the first partition of ide hdd is displayed. if i do a fdisk -l, the other partitions are displayed but not mounted. how do i get ubuntu to mount these automatically? [04:01] Jupp2, n since i knew she was gettin this today, i thot this would be easier [04:01] http://paste.lisp.org/display/50923. [04:01] from update-manager [04:02] Evanlec, don't get that!! look for the ToH release [04:02] wintubuntu: stop using the return key as punctuation, you dont type fast enough [04:02] Jupp2, on bittorrent? [04:02] pgan, BTW I don't use the no acpi anymore. 7.04 does handle it fine... [04:02] BADKITTY: you may want to google for "mounting ntfs in ubuntu" or "mounting windows partition in linux" for a good set of instructions [04:02] using the command do-release-upgrade [04:02] Evanlec, ues [04:02] or, you could type "man fstab" and delve into the technical mumbo jumbo [04:02] Evanlec, yes [04:02] Jupp2, k [04:02] wintubuntu: you want to add them into /etc/fstab to auto-mount them on boot [04:02] Evanlec, it fits on a single layer dvd [04:02] BADKITTY: or, you could type "man fstab" and delve into the technical mumbo jumbo [04:03] is SSE2 and SSE3 compatible [04:03] How do I force Grub to offer the list of systems to boot, it says "hit ESC for menu" but ESC doesn't work [04:03] dfcarney: Ok I got the basics: eg ~ man mount ... but yes I would like to figure out how to auto mount it everytime and have write access to it as well [04:03] Jupp2, i found one 4.22gb , 0 seeders tho :( [04:03] Jupp2: compatible with what? [04:03] iEvanlec, iss SSE2 and SSE3 compatible [04:03] hello? [04:03] BADKITTY: then read up on fstab and ntfs-3g [04:03] anybody still around? [04:03] is there anywhere where i can get a step by step tut 4 this? [04:03] Evanlec, iss SSE2 and SSE3 compatible [04:03] nightdragon: nah [04:03] tjs: Is neep better than freetype fonts? [04:03] Jupp2, okay [04:03] BADKITTY: in fact, if you install ntfs-3g then it may run you through an installer that will set things up for you [04:03] wintubuntu: if you look in /etc/fstab its pretty slef explanitory, or man /etc/fstab [04:03] Jupp2, i found the ToH release on isohunt but 0 seeders [04:04] Evanlec, I tried modifying my own DVD which I bough on the store and it was a major headache [04:04] !ask nightdragon_ [04:04] nightdragon_: Sort of, what up? [04:04] I downloaded mine a couple of days ago, and it works fine [04:04] Jupp2, alright, well thanks for the tip, i kinda just wanted to fool around with it anyway, glad u save me that trouble [04:04] what plugin do i need in order to watch full screen videos on spikedhumor.com ? [04:04] BADKITTY: the trick with setting it up in /etc/fstab is that you have to set the mount permissions properly so that you can actually read/write to it [04:04] dfcarney: I have gutsy though, it came with it [04:04] i'm still having problems getting 3d accelleration to work [04:04] thanks every1 [04:04] Jupp2, can u point me to a good torrent link? [04:04] phaedra: I have used acpi=force for 6.10 and 7.04 and I get hybernation, but with some problems. APM never worked for me [04:05] Jupp2: Evanlec not wanting to have a go, but a quick pointer about not talking warez in the channel? [04:05] BADKITTY: well, typing "dpkg-reconfigure ntfs-3g" may kick-start it (though I'm not certain) [04:05] nightdragon: I have no experience with the ati drivers, id like to help more [04:05] MidnighToker, its not warez... [04:05] Nevermind. I've fixed it. Strangely it was with the "extra" setting I was using with the more attractive visuals. I hope the bug is fixed soon. Thanks anyone for helping. [04:05] Evanlec: its against the EULA for OSX, unless you own a copy, and its still illigal unless you're using your own media. its hardly kosher [04:05] hello? [04:06] MidnighToker, i own a copy and it is my own media [04:06] caroline says [04:06] MidnighToker, im looking at it [04:06] hi! [04:06] pgan, Okay... I just searched 7.10 and the xircom is in linux-restricted-modules check to see if it's in 7.04 - It should be. [04:06] hi, is it possible to upgrade using the live cd? [04:06] MidnighToker, its shiny and black and purple with a big X [04:06] dfcarney: Well it did something, everything was undercover though so, well see.. atleast I have the basic idea [04:06] nightdragon_: Do a google search for your card and Ubuntu / GNOME / Debian, I really can't tell you anything else [04:06] thanks badkitty [04:06] where can I find the ubuntu login sound? Want to replace KDE login sound with Ubuntu sound...? [04:06] Evanlec: lucky you, my apologies -but the torrent? [04:06] SudoKing: try /usr/share/sounds [04:06] phaedra: thanks, will check [04:07] MidnighToker, the torrent is to download a patched version of the OS [04:07] How do I boot Gutsy in command-line only? [04:07] menko: I don't have Ubuntu [04:07] cubedsi: did that work for you Basically the added line with twinview was almost the only addition I had to make [04:07] I just want the Ubuntu login sound [04:07] multidex: there should be an option for that in your GRUB menu [04:07] multidex: boot in recovery mode [04:07] do you have the cd? [04:07] haven't tried yet i am bz for a few [04:07] No... [04:07] pgan, you have to search under ltmodem [04:07] =-( [04:07] yes, it doesn't give me the menu, it says hit esc for menu, but that doesn't work [04:08] hi, is it possible to upgrade using the live cd? [04:08] Anyone else have twinview enabled with compiz-fusion?? [04:08] is there another way to get the menu? [04:08] from 7.04 to 7.10 [04:08] multidex: use your install cd to reinstall grub [04:08] Can't I find a copy of the original Ubuntu login sound online? [04:08] menko: I think you must have the alternative cd [04:08] hey how do i fix it so i can maximize videos on spikedhumor.com ? [04:08] I'm trying to run svnserve from xinetd, but it refuses to listen on the port.. [04:08] multidex: or check your /boot/grub/menu.lst file [04:08] I don't have the time or bandwidth to get the alternative, there must be some way to use the live cd [04:08] phaedra: funnily enough, when I go to System -> Admin -> Restricted drivers manager, I get a message: "your system does not need any restricted drivers" [04:09] adp10390: thank you [04:09] menko: alright well I really don't think so [04:09] well that's really silly if you ask me [04:09] menko: I didn't make the rules, but yah, kinda silly [04:10] pgan, Hmmm... It's probably using the 'free' drivers... [04:10] pgan, you can open synaptic and search for ltmodem. [04:11] Sudoking: Looking for it now [04:11] What player in ubuntu can play rm files ? [04:11] I do not want to install real player [04:11] real player is evil [04:11] agreed [04:11] thanks tatterdemalian [04:11] RelPain [04:11] with the 7.04 repos, ltmodem does not come up [04:11] screen = pwn :) [04:12] Would be nice if there was a directory that told us which directory these things were stored under... [04:12] pgan, brb-afk [04:13] is there a GUI to make GTK applications? [04:13] tatterdemalian: for what are you searching? [04:13] tatterdemalian: lol [04:13] dfcarney: The directory Ubuntu system sounds are stored in [04:14] tatterdemalian: /usr/share/sounds, i'm willing to bet [04:14] quit [04:14] -.- [04:14] tatterdemalian: if you know part of the filename, you can use "locate" to find it [04:14] having some trouble getting an external hard drive to work, it was working before, but now ubuntu doesnt seem to realize its plugged in. [04:15] mcgrew: type 'dmesg' after plugging it in to see if there are any status/error messages [04:15] is there a graphical user interface to make GTK layouts? [04:15] Sup. [04:15] dfcarney: Thanks, that was it [04:16] :P [04:16] tatterdemalian: no problem [04:16] whee, i gave out 5 cds in 10 minutes [04:16] ddfcarney: alright, I did that, what am I looking for to see if somethings amiss? [04:16] phaedra: sorry, ltmodem is in the 7.04 repos, but xircom is not listed [04:17] Can someone explain to me why ubuntu has set its display on 1280x1024 when this should be 1400x900? [04:17] tatterdemalian: how do i accept? [04:17] mcgrew: there's no easy answer to that :) basically, error messages about a SCSI drive or disk (most likely) [04:17] I'm trying to use networkmanager in automatic mode, along with named nameservers, any pointers? [04:17] mcgrew: if you plug something in to a USB port then the kernel should detect it and try to deal with it [04:17] CAn I connect to a Windows Xp computer with Ubuntu's RDP? [04:17] Sudoking: Uh... your client doesn't show you an accept button? [04:17] Kalamarenku: sure [04:18] mcgrew: messages about that kind of thing can generally be seen by typing 'dmesg' [04:18] ? [04:18] Does X-Chat allow standard mIRC commands? [04:18] Like /server -m etc. [04:18] I have Konversation...and it said [23:16] [DCC] tatterdemalian offers to send you "startup.wav" (1.3 MB)... [04:18] I'm new to this thing. [04:18] scguy318: just by entering the account name and IP address? [04:18] I dont see any error messages. I get a bunch of info, but nothing that appears to be an error. [04:18] Nevermind, I will do my Homework :) [04:18] drulux: no [04:18] Alright. [04:19] How do I connect to multiple servers?

[04:20] what did I do wrong? [04:20] I can't get my 32-bit arch support working agin [04:20] again* [04:20] i need some good tutorials about bash on ubuntu [04:21] bash is universal [04:21] robert_: You need to re-roll your elf, nobody will believe you rolled 20s eight times in a row [04:21] how do i upgrade to ubuntu 7.10? [04:21] Sorry, I couldn't resist that one [04:21] ikon: You might look for a .pdf of bash [04:21] I've got a few questions about cron. I'd like it to run the shell script "alarm" that i've written and placed into my "~/Music/alarm" directory [04:21] i need some good tutorials about bash on ubuntu [04:21] * robert_ brutally murders tatterdemalian for being an idiot [04:21] ikon: or some other e-book [04:22] rofl [04:22] I've done this command to test it tonight at 11:20 20 23 * * * /home/mykola/Music/alarm/alarm [04:22] so I dont see a error message with dmesg, so is there anything else I can do to try and get this external hd to work? [04:22] it didn't work [04:22] !upgrade | billenium [04:22] billenium: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [04:22] what am I doing wrong? [04:22] badkitty: yes [04:22] I know that the shell script works, i've run it just fine before [04:22] !mouse [04:22] Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [04:22] Can anyone help me get ubuntu installed, it fails after loading the linux kernel when I boot from the CD, leaving a whole bunch of errors like this -> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44629/ === ryan_ is now known as Celinde [04:23] mcgrew: try tail -f /var/log/syslog in a terminal, and watch for any output when you plug it in [04:23] Ack! When playing NWN, the sound stutters. Is there a way to fix that? [04:23] Is it a problem with sound synching? [04:23] waan_: bad disk [04:23] yes jimjam, it's on the NWN linux forums under stuttering sound [04:23] waan_: yea bad disk [04:23] mcgrew: in short, yes...but it's hard to debug hardware issues remotely. basically, look through dmesg and try to figure out the disk (sda, sdb, etc...) Then, look up the partition you wish to mount in the /proc/partitions file. After that, you'll want to mount it with "mount". To get it to mount automatically, you'll want to google for that info. [04:23] Vovk: Nice. Thanks. [04:24] badkitty: where can i find it? [04:24] ikon: look on suprnova or isohunt === Celinde is now known as Celinde21 [04:24] jimjam: iirc, the first solution on the forums doesn't work. the second one should === waan_ is now known as waan [04:25] i can't share my music with another user on this machine, even though everything in my music directory is chmod to 750, and the group is users, and the user in question is in users. [04:25] any help appreciated. [04:26] Vovk: you used crontab -e to edit the crontab, right? [04:27] Dfcarney: the partions file doesnt display anything. it seems blank to me [04:27] nickrud: yes, crontab -e . then I set it to 20 23 * * * and then the command (which i copy/pasted out of my terminal after testing to see that it worked) [04:27] weltschmerz: did you log out the other user, and log him back in? (group adds don't take effect until a logout) [04:27] nickrud: it should have gone off at 11:20 right? [04:28] this is insane [04:28] how can i study more linux [04:28] weltschmerz: do you have openafs installed by any chance? [04:28] hows ubuntu and broadcom wireless adapaters doing? [04:28] Vovk: should [04:28] mcgrew: blank? does typing 'cat /proc/partitions' on the command-line yield any output? [04:29] !gtk [04:29] GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI [04:29] broken: see the networking and wireless section of the forums [04:29] bah.. [04:29] nickrud: is there anything else I have to do? close the crontab file or whatever? right now it looks like this - # m h dom mon dow command [04:29] 20 23 * * * /home/mykola/Music/alarm/alarm [04:29] broken: there is a link to a page listing which cards are suppprted and to which extent [04:29] Vovk: yes, you have to close & save :) [04:29] I can't play music from the internetradio-station http://sc10.radioseven.se:80 or with www.radioseven.se/128.pls. I have downloaded the file but it doesn't happen anything if I open it with Banshee or Exaile. Though it works with VLC, so I assume I miss some codecs, think it is a mp3- stream ("usual" mp3's are working for me). Know how to fix? [04:30] nickrud: lol... i did that as well [04:30] Vovk: try installing gnome-schedule, and building it that way [04:30] ok [04:30] I thought GTK was a Gnu graphics library needed for multiple applications? [04:31] started for the gimp, adopted by many iirc [04:31] hmm [04:31] just got schedule, it seems to be in there [04:32] we'll see, i just set it for 23:32 [04:32] nickrud: Oh, okay... never used it for anything but GIMP myself, heh [04:32] now it is that time, the script has not executed (it has permissions) [04:32] tatterdemalian: gtk is what draws the stuff inside the windows borders [04:32] permission* [04:32] guys i have been studying many stuff in linux i found out im not only learning them im in a path where then i can understand and build my own stuff .. [04:33] i dont want to build stuff , i want to use the built stuff from people but what makes it easier? nothing!!! all the stuff is built are for the other geeks who can deal with them and use them but not for the world [04:33] Crozar: outstanding! (send some of your learning materials to vovk.... :( ) [04:33] Vovk: I usually use touch /home/rich/testfile for testing my cron stuff, isolates script errors as such [04:34] the world want to use such stuff , i dont blame the builders but i blame UbuntU and linux the big boys who doesnt make such app or tunnel for just accepting the build ones into the right prespectives , example pidgin plugin = easy put by put and install... ect.. [04:34] I followed the steps on the ubuntu forums for mounting my external, but when I try it I get this message: mount: can't find sdb in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab note that I've not told it anything about /ect/fstab or /ect/mtab, so I'm not sure what those have to do with anything. [04:34] Crozar: I like to say Windows was built by marketing for managers. Linux built by engineers for engineers. [04:34] why !!!!!1 [04:34] Crozar: Fortunately we geeks couldn't care less what the world wants [04:34] thats funny [04:34] ah, tatterdemalian has nailed it :) [04:35] Can anyone help me? I am trying to do a "Make Config for v4l-dvb" and it is telling me a do not have the full kernel sources installed - for kernel 2.6.22 any ideas or can you point me in the right direction. thanks [04:35] nickrud: i've already tried this script from a terminal though. it works, but it's not working with cron [04:35] yea i have the WMP54G2 pgan, i believe it should work. [04:35] but if linux want to win beleive me the first one who will do a excellent work , like mac example , will win $$millions [04:35] I had to actually cut the firmware on my gentoo installation. [04:35] Crozar: it is not easy to make it easy to use, but people are trying [04:35] But I hope that it will work out of the box with feisty. [04:35] I have a question I need help with my wireless drivers for ubuntu [04:35] i am trying my best until i realized that im working for to become a geek (W TF ) [04:35] crozar: I recommend you read "The UNIX Philosophy" [04:35] broken: OK, and have you tried it? [04:36] Vovk: try bash
