[00:00] I have a dell b130 laptop and I'm using the bcm43xx driver, and for some reason it establishes connection and wpa2 encryption to the ap but after a few seconds always looses it... what could cause it? [00:00] erm [00:00] prappl93: [00:00] you will finish the download before bruteforcing works [00:00] I guarantee it [00:00] ruckerz: yes, in current linux kernel I think we have plug-n-play for USB, as soon as u plug it will be detected [00:00] Kein, it is at 16% [00:00] ... [00:00] that's irrelevant [00:00] tantradnya so no more adding persistence to the boot command line [00:01] Kein, how long does the bruteforcing take? [00:01] anyone using the latest ati drivers? [00:01] A really, really long time [00:01] Kein, alright [00:01] i've got a problem with avant window navigator and gutsy, I cannot install the packages from the source because it says is malformed [00:01] unless it's like [00:01] How do I access and make a shortcut for a Samba server? [00:01] a two or three character password [00:01] does anyone know of another rep I could download from? [00:01] prappl93: if it is your router, you should know the password. if you forgot the password, you can hard-reset the device and use the factory default password. [00:01] void^: my dad runs our wireless internet [00:01] prappl93: talk to your dad then. [00:01] http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42 gutsy avant-window-navigator does not work and that is the only one I can find to use [00:01] void^: he would never tell me :P [00:02] ruckerz: yes, but if that device doesnt have driver/ out of box support e.g some USB WiFi card then u need to first install driver [00:02] In rhythmbox, how can I copy all songs from my ipod to my Desktop [00:02] I have no encrypted files on my ipod [00:02] ah [00:02] Kein: It shouldn't be a really long password [00:02] if it's past that [00:02] it will take awhile [00:02] a six-character password using all possibilities can take hours [00:02] longer is even more [00:02] ;/ [00:02] ok, I managed to fix all of my graphical glitches except for one... when my screen dims when a password prompt comes up or when the logout/shutdown screen comes up it does not dim the whole screen, just the top left two thirds as though it is detecting the wrong resolution. How do I fix this? [00:02] Kein oh [00:02] tantradnya is there documentation on the automatic part of it? I mean if I boot with a live cd, and then plug in my drive after it's booted, what happens next to enable persistence? [00:02] someone know about open source software for windows like babylon ? [00:03] !windows | DivideZer [00:03] DivideZer: For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents [00:03] ruckerz: oh u have some USB Hard Disc ? [00:03] tantradnya just usb pen drive [00:03] hmm [00:03] bruenig , im asking about open source software [00:03] whisenhunt? === troxor_ is now known as troxor [00:04] ruckerz: if its new one, it will be automatically detected and it will be accessible to u as another drive [00:04] DivideZer, you are asking a windows question [00:04] DivideZer, go to the windows channel [00:04] tantradnya but will ubuntu know to save system settings/ home directories on it? [00:05] tantradnya im following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence?highlight=%28CategoryDocumentation%29 [00:05] tantradnya and the idea is that i partition the drive making the name of the partition 'casper-rw' [00:05] tantradnya: That command still reports the same message, any idea what could be causing it? [00:06] tantradnya the problem is that in this document, i had to boot the livecd in persistent mode by appending boot parameters, i was wondering if the current ubuntu is persistent by default, checking all available drives for the 'casper-rw' automatically [00:07] could someone help me fix my graphics problem? The dimming effect when the password prompt comes up or the logout/reboot screen comes up doesn't do my whole screen as though it's incorrectly detecting my resolution. I'd google this but I have no idea what terms to use [00:07] ! [00:07] n0va was on the same UBR as me! [00:08] Good night everybody [00:08] How do I access and make a shortcut for a Samba server? [00:08] could someone tell me what pkg i need to install to setup pppoe on gutsy? [00:08] ruckerz: i think document explains how u can boot ur live CD from a USB drive [00:08] I have a awesome issue in hands: got a HP dv 1000 laptop, but cant use the XD card reader... [00:09] some could give me a help? [00:09] felipe: I have an hp dv5167cl laptop :D [00:09] so everytime u can boot from that USB and u have ur settings and programs there === aricz_ is now known as aricz [00:10] tantradnya i'd rather not, i'd like to keep the ubuntu stock separate from the user preferences [00:10] tantradnya the application is for my parents, i'd like to send them new ubuntu cds as warranted, all the while keeping the same usb drive setup [00:10] someone know about babylon alternative to ubuntu ? [00:10] could someone help me fix my graphics problem? The dimming effect when the password prompt comes up or the logout/reboot screen comes up doesn't do my whole screen as though it's incorrectly detecting my resolution. I'd google this but I have no idea what terms to use [00:10] the question is do i need to remaster the cd to enable persistence mode on boots [00:10] Hi, I'm having problems with my bluetooth adapter and this is my system info ... http://pastebin.ca/778867 [00:10] dmesg and syslog [00:11] HunterKiller: and do you have the xd card reader working on? [00:11] felipe: I have no idea, I don't use the card reader [00:11] ruckerz: ok now i got what exactly u wanna do, so u want to send them CDs of ubuntu prepared completely for them , right? [00:11] tantradnya yes! but i want them to keep their settings/home dir on a usb drive [00:12] ruckerz: I know of ways to do that [00:12] ok i have an nforce with raid, but the live cd detects both harddrives separately [00:12] HunterKiller: thanks anyway [00:12] :) [00:12] thanks HunterKiller , I barely tried that, good u can help rukerz out of that [00:13] How can I use rhythmbox to copy all the files from my ipod to my Desktop? [00:13] hey guys!!! someone could help me with the xd card reader???? [00:13] ruckerz: You need to find a tutorial on how to put your Home directory on a seperate partition. I used one the other day but I don't have the link handy. Also, there's programs that'll take your current ubuntu install and make it into a live CD but I don't know their names. [00:13] how do i play a video that is a bin file [00:13] HunterKiller: what's this persistence mode? [00:13] Can anyone help with Raid0 on an Nforce? [00:13] I just installed ubuntu on this computer ( http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?docname=bph05393&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN#N1374 ) When I go and boot it up, the ubuntu logo shows up and the loader loads but the screen blanks out. [00:13] ruckerz: I have no idea [00:13] HunterKiller: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence?highlight=%28CategoryDocumentation%29 [00:14] HunterKiller i think this is what i want? [00:14] what might have caused "Network Settings" to not work anymore? I had to reinstall Ubuntu because I didn't know how to track down what was causing Network Settings to break. [00:14] hey everyone, im having trouble upgrading from feisty to gutsy in ubuntu studio [00:14] HunterKiller the problem is that I have to enable persistence mode by applying 'persistence' to the boot command line [00:14] persistance mode is like u everytime boot live CD but ur settings are there,they are persistant [00:14] ridge, was that pointed at me? [00:14] Anyone else having trouble getting an esata drive to work? [00:15] knoppix dist has I think much better support for that kinda job [00:15] HunterKiller the question is whether or not ubuntu will automagically scan for a 'casper-rw' volume and load the settings if a drive is plugged in [00:15] does anyone have ubuntu studio in here? [00:15] before, Network Settings worked fine, then today when to dial up to the Internet, all that would happen is a light (that comes on when the modem is making the call) would flash. [00:15] So should i just go back to Windows XP since i can't get Raid0 in ubuntu? [00:15] ruckerz: I'm a linux newbie, ruckerz. I only knew about the method I described because I happened upon some random tutorials [00:15] hey my uncle gave me one of his old computers and i'm giving it to a friend for christmas, i know there are tools to write random data over the entire hard drive, does anyone know what they're called, iirc there's shred but that works on individual files [00:15] now dont but had ubuntustudio 7.04, it was really good [00:16] could someone help me fix my graphics problem? The dimming effect when the password prompt comes up or the logout/reboot screen comes up doesn't do my whole screen as though it's incorrectly detecting my resolution. I'd google this but I have no idea what terms to use [00:16] i have it but i cannot upgrade to 7.10 [00:16] hmm [00:16] ademan: Let me look for you. [00:16] ademan: http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/15/how-to-erase-old-hard-disks/ [00:17] hmm [00:17] i think i have to remaster the cd [00:17] hi everybody again... [00:17] Ademan: they are called shreder [00:17] Ademan: this will help u http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2006/06/how-to-securely-erase-hard-disk-before.html [00:18] would anyone be able to help me set up my xd card reader? [00:18] ruckerz: I read about a method of keeping your live CD on a CDRW so you could keep a persistent copy all on the same disc [00:18] can anyone with dsl tell me how to steup pppoe, or point me in the right direction? [00:18] *setup [00:18] ruckerz: But I think it only works with smaller distros, like Damn Small Linux [00:18] How do I change my locales? dpkg-reconfigure locales doesn't do the job http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2056/ [00:18] HunterKiller thanks, but my application is to keep the cd as stock as possible [00:19] brb [00:19] ray_: you here? [00:19] ruckerz: On a side note, if you plan on using live CDs as a primary OS my personal experience is that the Xubuntu cd performs better [00:19] is there a way to tell if a running process is 32bit or 64bit? [00:19] felipe: what help u want ? [00:19] Can someone knowledgeable with Grub please help me? I need to install it from a live cd [00:19] How come .* files are hidden from view in /home//? [00:20] I cannot unhide them. [00:20] can someone help with : ignoring unknown interface eth0 [00:20] tantradnya: I need help to make it work... [00:20] what directories should be in ~ by default? (main user account) -- i imported at install and shouldnt have [00:20] HunterKiller yeah i was thinking of using xubuntu, but didnt want to admit it here fearing i would get forwarded to #xubuntu [00:20] kazol3 You go to View and 'Show hidden' or somesuch [00:20] buckyl: what do u mean by 32 bit and 64 bit process? [00:20] ray_: answer retard [00:20] HunterKiller: I did. [00:20] felipe_:whats going wrong now? [00:20] tantradnya: I found an excellent forum topic which made able the SD reader, but not the xd [00:21] Nobody can help me with Raid0? [00:21] tantradnya, are you familiar at all with 64bit windows? when you go into task manager all the processes that are 32bit have a *32 next to their name [00:21] kazo13: i had a buddy trying to do that... think he ended up using gconf-editor if that helps [00:21] how do you disable tracker? [00:21] Anyone available to help me with a dual-boot setup? I can access internet in XP, but cant see it in my Ubuntu install [00:21] TechnoCat: Software/Kernel Raid? Device Mapper raid? or Hardware raid? [00:21] tantradnya: and, unfortunately, my camera is an olympus and its just use the xd card [00:21] tantradnya, i want to know if the firefox that is running is 32bit or 64bit [00:21] ruckerz: You might be interested in trying Damn Small Linux or Puppy Linux as well depending on the needs of the user. I used to use DSL for my basic 'I want to surf the net and play solitaire while away from my home computer' OS. [00:22] nvrpunk: I'm using an Nforce 4 chipset, [00:22] can some one help me update ubuntu studio to 7.10? [00:22] bucky1: could I suggest you to read the about at the firefox menu? [00:22] nvrpunk: I thought the kernal would see it as one harddrive since i was doing it through the bios [00:22] bucky1: I think that you could find some information there [00:22] TechnoCat: so it's going to be a device manager raid, no [00:22] Why are files hidden from the user?? I don't get why the developers would do such a thing. I can't even see those dirs when I ls /home/ [00:22] felipe_:which card reader u have? [00:23] (ls -a) [00:23] is the gutsy proposed updates repo generally save to use? [00:23] TechnoCat: you need an initramfs, and device mapper [00:23] Evanlec: yes [00:23] Pazy, very easy with a live cd, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351&highlight=grub [00:23] crimsun, yea? ok [00:23] TechnoCat: you need to read up on it via google, too much to explain in irc [00:23] nvrpunk: I'm in the livecd right now [00:23] kazol: cd /home/user;ls -lia [00:23] kazol3: cd /home/user;ls -lia [00:23] nvrpunk: ok thanks [00:23] tantradnya: I have one of that all in one models :P in my hp dv 1000 laptop [00:23] Evanlec: be aware of the nature of the "proposed" repo, however. It is not supported like "updates" is. [00:23] crimsun, cool, its wanting to give me about 42 updates after enabling it, guess i'll go and install them [00:23] TechnoCat: google DMraid [00:24] felipe_, yes thanks, I know I could get it there but i was just using firefox as an example. I would also like to know a way that works for apps that dont list it in the 'about' [00:24] Colt7r: Is there a way to show *all* files in Ubuntu? [00:24] kazol3: I think it's hidden because ubuntu is apparently trying to be as user friendly as possible and there's a lot in the hidden files that can screw things up if you don't know what you're doing. Also, they're easily visible if you want them to be [00:24] HunterKiller: Maybe I should reboot? [00:24] bucky1: ok. sorry. :) [00:24] kazole: Perhaps. [00:25] tantradnya: I've just set the 06:09.3 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments PCIxx21 Integrated FlashMedia Controller device... [00:25] could someone help me fix my graphics problem? The dimming effect when the password prompt comes up or the logout/reboot screen comes up doesn't do my whole screen as though it's incorrectly detecting my resolution. I'd google this but I have no idea what terms to use [00:25] can anyone help or point me to a good walk-through for setting up connectivity in a Dual-Boot install? (internet works on XP side) [00:25] HunterKiller: that's my problem, finding those "hidden files" that were broken, causing Network Settings to not be able to dial with my modem [00:25] tannji: I don't think dual boot has anything to do with internet connectivity [00:25] ok [00:26] felipe_: i found something on Texas Instru card reader http://news.softpedia.com/news/Texas-Instruments-5-in-1-Card-Reader-under-Ubuntu-Edgy-43688.shtml [00:26] rm -rf / [00:26] :) [00:26] Hunter... Yes, but I would like to figure what is different between the xp side and Ubuntu, so I can fix it [00:26] tantradnya: thanks. I'll check it out and come back to report [00:26] hi, can i get some help whit compizfusion here? [00:27] tannji: In a room this busy it's fairly important when addressing someone to use their full name because many clients have highlighting which makes it easier to notice when someone is talking to you [00:28] HunterKiller: s/many/all decent/ [00:28] HunterKiller, is there a shortcut to reply to you, or do I have to type it all out every reply? [00:28] tannji: If you're using wireless it could be a driver issue on the linux side. Also, you could try putting your computer in 'roaming' mode which seems to make it so that it sets everything up itself as far as networking goes. I can't help you much beyond this because I'm a newbie [00:28] buttercups: That tutorial didnt work, at the first stage it said it cant find the file [00:28] I have a dell b130 laptop and I'm using the bcm43xx driver, and for some reason it establishes connection and wpa2 encryption to the ap but after a few seconds always looses it... what could cause it? [00:28] Question : Where are the session config files located? (the ones that make up the session list at the login window) [00:28] tannji: Many clients also have tab completion, meaning if you type 'hunt' and hit tab it should finish my name for you [00:28] i cant get compizfusion to work [00:28] HunterKiller... It was initially in roaming, didnt work as that either [00:29] HunterKiller: thanks, that works [00:29] can annyone help me whit compizfusion [00:29] ?? [00:29] what is a good editor with syntax highlighting for ruby [00:30] vim [00:30] ub_share: You should describe your problem. Asking if someone can help you if you give no details is a bit like asking if you can ask a question. [00:30] what is problem [00:30] can anyone help me troubleshoot "roaming mode" then? [00:30] lastelement0, vim! [00:30] hey all.... I just installed ubuntu for the first time today!! I really likeit [00:30] evanlec im not a fan of vim [00:30] i cant get compizfusion to start at all [00:30] sorry can [00:30] im new to ubuntu [00:30] patchak: Welkome [00:30] does anyone know if there is a progam for linux that works like the old windows popup messages [00:31] patchak: congratz, I did the same today, and like it also [00:31] patchak, that's great. [00:31] tannji: If roaming mode isn't working and you're absolutely sure that your computer is trying to use the right network adapter (mine is using eth0 for example) then it's probably a driver issue and you should google for something like 'linux + "" [00:31] does anyone know if there is a progam for linux that works like the old windows popup messages where I can send a message to computer on my network [00:31] Yeah I think it,s really awesome and looks really good too [00:31] motleyman: That question makes no sense. Oh, you mean, with "net send"? [00:31] YES EXACTLY [00:32] motleyman: Ask #samba, maybe. [00:32] Question : Where are the session config files located? (the ones that make up the session list at the login window) [00:32] I have a question... is there any application that does like what winscp works? [00:32] motleyman: Personally, I'd use a frigging chat program. ;) [00:32] I suppose I could but we don't want the emploeeys chatting online [00:32] Colt7r: dont even joke about that (the rm -rf /) [00:32] patchak, tannji: I installed linux for the first time a couple weeks ago. I chose Ubuntu because I kept seeing its name on digg.com. As a mother of four who didn't know anything beyond Windows XP I like it. I especially like that I was able to make a login for my kids that had only kids games and no way to access the internet. [00:33] why is Ubuntu not installing packages from my dvd? i fired up Add/Remove Programs, and turned off all the repository options, put the dvd in and it's *still* asking to me to connect to the internet. [00:33] Arafangion: how about scp? [00:33] and we want to jsend messages to alll computers on the network [00:33] pgan: That transfers files. [00:33] I want to use scp but with a graphical ftp like interfacxe, is there anything like that in ubuntu? [00:33] could someone help me fix my graphics problem? The dimming effect when the password prompt comes up or the logout/reboot screen comes up doesn't do my whole screen as though it's incorrectly detecting my resolution. I'd google this but I have no idea what terms to use [00:33] motleyman: Define "send messages to all computers on the network". [00:33] ridge-meister: what does your /etc/apt/sources.list say? [00:34] nvrpunk: I'm using dmraid and it is detecting my two harddrives, how come the install shows two harddrives present? [00:34] i have activated compizfusion, but i cant get i to work. i tried for a long time now. i cant get the cube to work, and i cant switch between workspaces. [00:34] HunterKiller, yeah I really like the 'simple' aspect of this distro... [00:34] Anyone here familiar with emerald? I get this: "emerald: Could not acquire decoration manager selection on screen 0 display ":0.0"" [00:34] motleyman: 'wall' will send messages to all logged-in users, on a traditional system. [00:34] patchak: It's only simple if you don't have a weird problem like I have. I've been sititng here for a couple hours trying to figure out why the dimming effect isn't working properly [00:35] pgan, i thought that if the source options were turned off in Add/Remove, that it would automatically comment out those lines in sources.list. checking the file [00:35] HunterKiller, : well I have worst problems in XP these days ;) [00:35] Hello all [00:35] silly question [00:35] How do I get amarok to burn a WAV cd from mp3 [00:36] I get an error telling me it can't convert the files [00:36] libmad is installed [00:36] patchak: What I like about linux so far is that things 'just work' about 90 percent of the time... however, when they don't work it's horrible trying to troubleshoot it [00:36] flyingfree: install libk3b2-mp3 [00:36] I have a dell b130 laptop and I'm using the bcm43xx driver, and for some reason it establishes connection and wpa2 encryption to the ap but after a few seconds always looses it... what could cause it? [00:36] not really an ubuntu-related question, but i am plugging in motherboard. the wires connected to be connected to the motherboard have G and ARROW symbols, while the motherboard uses + and -. Which ones of these match up? [00:36] Greetings [00:36] crimsun I'll give that a try [00:36] <[CF]Smurf> mahlzeit servus und huhu [00:37] how do you install lib from command line?

The dimming effect when the password prompt comes up or the logout/reboot screen comes up doesn't do my whole screen as though it's incorrectly detecting my resolution. I'd google this but I have no idea what terms to use [00:38] remove the unneeded x packages [00:38] HunterKiller dpkg-reconfigure x-server-xorg [00:38] HunterKiller dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:39] Pretty please may I have some help with installing grub from a live cd. I tried to follow the guide on the official forums but it didnt work, it can find /boot/grub/stage1 (it dont exist dont cha' know, thats my problem). How else can I install grub from command line? Or would it be easier to reinstall the entire Ubuntu (or possibly Kubuntu) to the partition?

I have many sensitive files that I need on my harddrive, but I need 256bit encryption on them, as well as the ability to store the key on a thumb drive. I cant seem to find any documentation about this in ubuntu (Linux noob here).. Anyone have an article or whatnot to link? I need HEAVY encryption, and the ability to store the key on a USB stick.

There must be some way. [00:56] blegh [00:56] and go through it w/ samba [00:56] ArthurArchnix: thanks sorry i was away from the computer [00:56] ryan_: I suggest really learning Debian or slackware, or any other system, really, and using encryption for the filesystem. Keep in mind that you should also encrypt swap. [00:56] or there might be a way for nautilis to do it [00:56] * wildweasel_ sees tomB in user list wonders if its Tomb from ccp [00:56] I dont need my root volume encrypted.

[00:58] oh ok [00:58] no, not really. not in ubuntu [00:58] anyone here that can help me with connecting to the internet?

Sounds quicker. [00:58] danny: "sudo" and "gksudo gedit" temporarily gives you superuser rights. [00:59] itś a little bit funny, to work ubuntu in a vm witz mac 10.4.11 ;-) but it works very good with 2gb ram :D [00:59] ryan_: You do realise that such encryption is pretty much a joke. [00:59] I have a problem with vpn: if I a connected and cisco client tells me the new IP, a tracepath should show me not my local router, or am I wrong? [00:59] hey tannji what's iwconfig give [00:59] ryan_: The way you are talking about encryption is useful only for *transfer* and communication. [00:59] xen_caapn: can I pm you? difficult to follow here [00:59] sure [00:59] kazol3: thanks im new it worked! [00:59] danny: It's done for security reasons (less chance of hackers). [01:00] I see, so the best bet is to completely encrypt the filesystem using debian or such? [01:00] danny: Memorize those two commands for future reference: "sudo" and "gksudo gedit." [01:00] kazol3: wow thats nice to know [01:00] ryan_: it really is an all-or-nothing proposition, if you honestly want to have better privacy, rather than to just trick yourself into a false sense of security. [01:00] if ur trying to PM me it might not work cuz it didn't for me before tannji [01:00] danny: np [01:00] kazol3: thanks im used to windows =( [01:00] Is there a MSN client that supports reciving offline messages? [01:01] iv only been able to get offline msg w/ yahoo [01:01] Definatly hear what you are saying Arafangion...

[01:01] meh ok second question... i have the new ubuntu iso dled under windows.. I want to make a bootable disk under vista nreo 5.0 only works in 32 bit. [01:01] and today i have try to get datatransfer between two maschines. ubuntu in a vm, a iso-data in a another part of the vm (2 parts, 1 ntfs, 2. ext3). from there i have try the transfer to the host with hfs+. that works, but the funny is, how it works ;) very slowly *G [01:01] how can I make sure that my vpn client is working? === Andre_Gondim_ is now known as Andre_Gondim [01:02] danny: Well, Linux is much more secure than Microsuck Windblows XPlode. [01:02] SIS163u ????? help me [01:02] ryan_: YOu'd have to make sure that no applications ever write temporary files to disk, etc. As it is, you can pretty much assume that nearly all programs will store a plaintext copy of the entire document in a temporary location. === LEAVEMEALONE is now known as ziyax [01:02] kazol3: lol Microsucks i hate it plus i made linux look like leopard with my own theme. Take that no unix code's!!!!!!!!! and its free!!!! [01:03] would it make more sense to dl the new ubuntu distro under ubuntu and make a bootable disk?

[01:04] ryan_: In any case, gpg is probably sufficient. [01:04] Arafangion: would you rather i remove instead of being nice? [01:04] ArthurArchnix: that was for you [01:04] gnomefreak: Are you telling me your an admin? [01:04] Thats pretty :P [01:04] ArthurArchnix: very much so [01:04] gnomefreak: Being nice? Why would we do such a thing? ;) [01:04] ns liddan?... ill check it out so far no joy making a bootable disk under vista [01:05] * ArthurArchnix shakes head.

Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [01:07] Minifig: you have to make it a deb than install it [01:07] Minifig: Might be a stupid thing to do, but indeed, it is possible.

[01:22] LiMaO: it's ok, but be more careful with pasting exploits or you might find yourself k-lined before either of us notices (and no, it doesn't have to be a real dcc request) [01:22] wally69: i WISH i did [01:22] Arafangion, I wasn't complaining === DaLuv is now known as thersdaluv [01:22] compiz was detecting the wrong resolution so I had to go in and tell it not to autodetect the resolution and I had to tell it my true resolution... is there a way I can do that for the dimming effect thing for the password prompt and the logout/reboot window? [01:22] mlyon, did you install the -plugin package ? [01:22] Pelo: Didn't mean to imply that you were. :) [01:22] LjL: yeah, i just read more about it on the net. once again, sorry =) [01:22] LjL: I once joined a kline channel by accident. ;) [01:23] Pelo_ I think so is that on synaptic? I get the little red X [01:23] HunterKiller, how much memory do you have allocated to yoru video card ? make sure it is at least 32 meg that might help [01:23] LjL: Must be 5 years ago now, though. [01:24] So, I'm trying to run artsd on an ubuntu gutsy system. It dies immediately with "cannot create mcop directory", though ~/.mcop exists. Anyone know why? [01:24] mlyon, the java-plugin package is in synaptic yes, should be in green if it is installed [01:24] techzilla, yes, i'm using Konversation, a nice client as far as the GUI goes. [01:24] LjL: yea me 2 [01:25] ciao [01:25] !list [01:25] 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 [01:25] LjL: just wondering what the operater would use... i picked a good one [01:25] * mjbrooks stare at a PowerEdge and ponders the possibilities [01:25] after installing mythbuntu i get an error 22 after it tries to load grub. I rebooted into the livecd and have reinstalled grub but it still doesn't work. [01:26] mlyon, the exact package name is sun-java6-plugin [01:26] oddly enough though if i boot up with the livecd and choose load from hard disk it does indeed boot into my install [01:26] Pelo, what other dock apps are there other than avant? [01:26] anyone know whats going on? [01:26] does anybody know what virtual machine runs XP the best? Because I am considering running Ubuntu-full time and installing it on my main HD, but I want to know how well I can run XP on a virtual machine. [01:26] Pelo I have it installed [01:26] bucky1, kdockers , but that is for kde [01:27] Condoulo: VMware. [01:27] mlyon, that's all I can suggest [01:27] Arafangion- is there a free version of VMWare? [01:27] Can someone help me? Im having problems with sound... [01:27] Condoulo: No, but there is a version you can download. [01:27] bucky1, I know there is a gnome dock project in the works but I don't recall the details, I don,t think it is available yet [01:27] Arafangion- ah. [01:27] my kubuntu is freezing when I try to use nvidia proprietary driver. Anyone have any ideas? [01:27] !sound | BOO-YaH start with this [01:27] BOO-YaH start with this: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [01:27] Condoulo: Depending on the apps, you might even be able to run them natively under wine. [01:28] Intel Xeon... that's IA64 isn't it? [01:28] Arafangion- Well I am wanting to run XP so I can make video guides of Ubuntu and XP. to keep the content on my site diverse. [01:28] Pelo, ok, thanks alot for the info [01:28] And I haven't had luck with Frontpage 03 on Wine [01:29] is it possible to do a 'du -h' from /, but have it only display what's on a specified partition? [01:29] here goes nothing [01:29] CanadianMan, make sure your grub menu.lst points to the correct partition for the kernel remember that the numbering in grub starts at 0 [01:29] cndoulo: the best would be win4lin [01:29] condoulo: the best would be win4lin [01:29] Condoulo: Heck, some companies run their entire testing and build farm under vmware alone. [01:29] Condoulo: It's that good. [01:29] CanadianMan, this may also happen if you changed the boot order of your hdds in the bios [01:29] techzilla- Win4lin is free, correct? [01:29] condoulo: vmware is that acurate, but it 2 slow for my taste [01:29] hey, it seems I am not able to see the topgear videos on the BBC website. I installed the mozilla-plugin thing [01:30] condoulo: no its acommercial sapp [01:30] the interface seems to be there, I do not know if it's the server or what [01:30] condoulo: you asked "the best" [01:30] pelo, grub points to hd0,0 and the os is installed on sda1 would this all be correct? [01:30] hello in firefox I get a red x where the java applet should load. Running edgy [01:30] could somebody try and test if it works at his side? [01:30] alesan, remove the totem-mozilla package [01:30] macdo_: does this help?: 'Option "NoAGP" "0"' in xorg.conf [01:30] the alsa is selected, the sound board was correctly detected but the sound is mute yet [01:30] pelo, i'll check me boot order next [01:30] CanadianMan, yes [01:30] Is Virtualbox any good? [01:30] condoulo: the most practical would be virtual box [01:30] Condoulo: It's the current popular underdog. [01:30] condoulo: love it man [01:30] Condoulo: yes [01:30] condoulo: my favriot [01:31] condoulo: faster then that slow ass vmware [01:31] Condoulo: For non-windows guests, it's probably just as good. [01:31] Pelo: I do not have it installed [01:31] techzilla: How much RAM do you have? [01:31] Condoulo: ive tried both, vmware and virtualbox and prefer virtualbox [01:31] techzilla: Because I'll bet that's the problem you have. [01:31] CanadianMan, you would probably find the supergrub cd usefull to fix your problem [01:31] pelo, ok thank you i'll take a look at it [01:31] http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/mediaplayer/consoles/topgear/nb_rm_console.shtml?redirect=console.shtml&lang=en&nbram=1&bbram=1&tab=3&clip=3 [01:31] this is the webpage [01:31] macdo_: Sorry "NvAGP" "0" [01:31] hey [01:31] I GOT 2 GIGs pal [01:32] 2 gigs of HYPER X [01:32] alesan, hold on I'll have a look [01:32] thanks Pelo [01:32] and an athlon 64 4200 X2 [01:32] pelo: my memory for my video card is 128mb [01:32] how do you get office 2003 to work in wine?

[01:33] oh [01:33] ta david-a - I'll give it a go. [01:33] techzilla: 2GB ram? [01:33] Pelo: it is a webpage with an embedded video [01:33] Arafangion: yes 2 GB [01:33] Pelo: can't you even open it? [01:33] techzilla: Hmm, well you should have suficient ram, then. :) [01:33] is the one from the ubuntu repositories the latest version? [01:34] Arafangion: its just not the fastest virtualizer [01:34] Arafangion: virtualbox is faster [01:34] techzilla: I will agree that vmware is probably not the "best" for general OS's, but as far as windows is concerned, it's the best imho.

[01:47] Seems like maybe a focus issue in Compiz, but idaKnow [01:47] yeah? brilliant [01:47] I'm trying to boot into gutsy live cd, but when I click on any of the options, the Linux Kernel loads to 3%, freezes and then tells me I have a disk error?

[01:48] im havin huge problems with gutsy, fiesty worked fine [01:48] Nope David-a [01:48] HunterKiller, from what I see, the shading is all over but you seem to have a black section on the uper left, wich is not the same as what i was expecting to see, it looks like you have a windows open in that section that overlaps everything else, not sure what it might be [01:49] 40GB okay for / filesystem? [01:49] hi [01:49] Pelo: No, it's like that whether anything is open or not. I'll take a new screenshot with everything minimized except the password prompt [01:49] HunterKiller, actualy that looks like your terminal windows [01:49] Could anyone please help me with Compiz? [01:50] how come the resolutions in gnome->screen resolution are totally different than those in xorg.conf? [01:50] is it screwing with your workspaces, thomchad? [01:50] Evanlec: 40GB okay for ubuntu plus approx 10000 mp3s [01:51] jangari no, it used to work fine. Then I rebooted, and it won't work anymore. It's still in the list of active programs when I ps, but it doesn't do anything [01:51] hello there! [01:51] david-a, lol, well those would go in my /home partition anyway ;p [01:51] Hiya Evanlec :) [01:51] hi [01:51] guys i just want to know how to run traceroute [01:51] pelow: There is no window open causing that darker section.

[01:52] HunterKiller, checking , and there is now w in my nick btw [01:52] pelo: I know. It was a typo. [01:52] Pelo: installing the win32 codecs from mplayer.org helped :) [01:52] prappl93, you use samba I beleive, ask in #networking , they mgiht know better [01:52] alesan, congrats [01:53] Hey guys ...

[01:53] proxie: mount [01:53] Pelo: Thank you, I will find out if they can help [01:53] david-a: ha. makes sense. thanks buddy :) [01:53] HunterKiller, that screenshot looks excatly as I would expect it to look with that background and the panels set that way, I don'T see anything wrong with it [01:53] pelo: It's happened now twice on two different installs on the same machine. It's a setting wrong somewhere I believe. I think whatever is doing that shading effect is detecting the wrong resolution because Compiz was detecting the wrong resolution and having the same problem with the shift switcher where it'd only fill in the top left two thirds of my screen [01:54] Pelo: How do you mean? The top left two thirds of the screen is shaded really dark while the bottom and right sides are just barely shaded. That's not how it's supposed to be. [01:55] can someone tell me of a torrent program for ubuntu/gnome that is similar to uTorrent? and not ktorrent [01:55] deluge but it is pretty buggy [01:55] ixian: I like deluge [01:55] ixian_: you can run utorrent via wine [01:56] Sidlet: i know, but I've had some problems with that [01:56] I think the devs may have moved a bit fast because it is not stable at all [01:56] HunterKiller, ok I think I see it, I thought your top pannel was jsut set to the right , no idea what could be the problem, I've never seen anything like it , have you tried different resolutions just to test ? [01:56] cftorrent < i think, is also pretty fiznilthy. Console based but pretty powerful and an oss solution. [01:56] Pelo: No. I will. [01:57] is there any kind of tester for graphic thingies? im not sure does my drivers work properly... cedega's tests goes throught but i have like 1fps on wc3 ._. [01:57] Pelo: Changing my resolution fixes the problem but my native resolution is what I want to run at [01:57] 1680x1050 [01:58] Can anyone help me with my networking thing? No one appears to be active in #networking [01:58] rtorrent is good i hear [01:58] SkgEfnod: you try glxgears? [01:58] HunterKiller, no idea what the issue might be , try checking in the forum for shading problems at 1680x1050, that's all I can suggest [01:58] prappl93: whats your issue? [01:58] SkgEfnod: glxgears? (not scientifical) [01:58] prappl93: yep, ive done this many times [01:58] it passes it :/ [01:58] prappl93: first of all you need samba [01:58] How can I create a network on Ubuntu 7.10 that will connect to a Windows network also?

I have some files in Japanese that don't display correctly [01:59] prappl93: so go through synaptic and install samba [01:59] Pelo: Thanks, will do. [01:59] SkgEfnod: you check the transgaming wiki for wc3? There is usually game specific info there on what people have doen to improve fps and what not [01:59] prappl93: thats called samba [01:59] prappl93: and there are a few thousand tutorials for how to setup samba on gutsy if you check google. [01:59] prappl93: install samba and smb-client [01:59] Pelo: I don't see any mention of a problem at my specific resolution [01:59] that openoffice extension has terrible reviews, such as you needing internet explorer to access the download url, not working with oo 2.3, and not supporting tags, [02:00] so, anyone know of a linux-supported blog writer that posts to wordpress.com blogs? [02:00] Does anyone know what is wrong with my system? The top left two thirds of my screen is dimmed when the password prompt or log out screen pops up but leaves the bototm and right sides only barely dimmed.

[02:04] alright, this is the first time i've had to do this, but how do you kill a process? [02:05] How can I change encoding/language settings in Nautilus?

[02:05] sfears: we usually avoid telling users to use killall, we prefer pkill [02:05] overcl0ck: if you install whatever-desktop instead, will it remove kubuntu-desktop for you then? (not tested) [02:06] anyone familiar with acls? [02:06] juano: do they have the official Ubuntu logo next to them? [02:06] and the pid is the process # ? [02:06] when i try to start firefox it tells me that it's already running and i must terminate that process or else restart my computer. [02:06] prappl93: samba and smbclient yes [02:06] I went to top to see if I can find it but it's not being listed [02:07] prappl93: i dont know about the logo [02:07] emma: killall firefox-bin [02:07] any ideas how i can find the pid of that process to kill it?

I have Samba and smdclient selected and hit apply [02:07] emma: or pkill firefox-bin [02:07] Evanlec, is there a way to check? [02:07] i need to memorise all these terminal commands [02:07] How do I edit the alsa? [02:07] david-a, so how do I remove kde completly? [02:07] it worked. You guys are good. [02:08] david-a: what's the difference between killall and pkill? [02:08] #gathering [02:08] and kill generally [02:08] prappl93: ok after they install, go to /etc/samba [02:08] How do I check the remaining lease time on a DHCP lease on a lLnux box? [02:08] Evanlec, I was just handed a Dell PE with FC3 on it and they tole me to make it new, so naturally I'm going ubuntu ;) [02:08] How do I check the remaining lease time on a DHCP lease on a Linux box? [02:08] Like. [02:08] prappl93: look for a smb.conf.default if there is any [02:08] can somebody help me theres a strange line in the avant- window-manager dock [02:08] How much time before said DHCP lease expires. [02:08] Yeah what's the difference between killall and pkill ? [02:08] zaxius: on linux, not much. However, on some unix systems killall means kill *all* processes [02:08] mjbrooks, its probly 64bit then [02:09] ah [02:09] emma: no passing my questions off as your own [02:09] killall would shut down every process going on ? [02:09] lol zaxius [02:09] Ezradane`Larran: alsaconf and alsamixer. havent done it in a while though, thing might have changed [02:09] zaxius: i dont know, i use pkill [02:09] zaxius - I noticed no one was answering for a while so I thought I could double our chances :) [02:09] ut if you specify a process with a name or number, presumably it'd only ill that process [02:09] juano: I found it, now what? [02:09] emma: good work, now find out about my acl question [02:10] however, the command killall * might fvck you up a bit [02:10] How do I get to them, loxley_? [02:10] guesing [02:10] prappl93: ok, then do this: alt + f2, then type gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf.default [02:10] I never saw your acl question. What was it? [02:10] and i'm not talking about the kind you tear [02:10] And then how do I edit them? [02:10] killall is considered 'less stable' and on some systems is the last proccess for shutting down. Also killall kills all processes in the tree for what you are killing [02:10] before you point it out, sorry for swearing [02:10] how do you remove one for a particular user? [02:10] Ezradane`Larran: console. [02:10] !ohmy | jangari [02:10] jangari: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:10] :P [02:10] Evanlec, shows 4 processors @2.8Ghz [02:10] ha [02:10] thanka ajmorris_ [02:10] thanks* [02:11] hehe, i didnt even notice you swear :P [02:11] Juano: I see samba.conf, but not samba.conf.default [02:11] with that, you are editing the file with root permissions, the file will be full of stuff, dont worry ill tell you what u need to put in it [02:11] is pkill present on all linux/solaris implementations? [02:11] i use the latin orthography :P [02:11] prappl93: smb.conf ? [02:11] fvck heh [02:11] juano: yes [02:11] exactly [02:11] loxley_ I have no console, only a terminal [02:11] Is that it/ [02:11] *? [02:11] prappl93: ok, then do this: alt + f2, then type gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf [02:11] invented that [02:11] zaxius: yes pkill is on all linux/solaris impelmentations [02:11] way back when on ircq.net [02:11] juano: I did that, now what [02:11] i'll start using that then [02:11] juano: it opened a text thing [02:11] emma: you're slacking [02:11] I invented that* [02:11] prappl93: yep [02:11] jangari: bs [02:11] haha [02:12] damn straight [02:12] Ezradane`Larran: yep [02:12] juano: what do I do now? [02:12] ok, first thing is to make your linux box act as a WINS server [02:12] how do i change my locale? [02:12] language i guess [02:12] racarter: hop on a plane [02:12] prappl93: so, where it sais server string comment that line out with a # at the beggining [02:12] so no one knows a good, open-source blog writer? [02:12] jangari: gedit [02:12] what is the --geometry format for gnome-terminal? [02:12] and add this line: netbios name = mylinuxboxname [02:12] will gedit post to a blog?! [02:13] Evanlec, are there processor flags unique to EM64T? [02:13] jangari: you said writer not poster :) [02:13] juano: what? [02:13] pfft [02:13] is there another channel for more general unix questions than just ubuntu? [02:13] overcl0ck: i once changed f ubuntu-desktop to xubuntu-desktop, i dont remember exactly how, but did it in synaptic. the result was not a perfect switch, later reinstalled xubuntu from scratch. [02:13] mjbrooks, do cat /proc/cpuinfo [02:13] prappl93: so, where it sais server string comment that line out with a # at the beggining [02:13] Evanlec, I did that's why I was asking ;) [02:13] juano: where is this at?1 [02:13] zaxius - I casually set you up with an opportunity to ask the question again :) [02:14] emma: you're a great wingman [02:14] prappl93: its at the beggining [02:14] racarter: i believe by adding your timezone to .profile in your home directory, e.g : [02:14] TZ='Australia/Melbourne'; export TZ [02:14] [02:14] mjbrooks, should say somethin like x86_64 [02:14] * emma wing-girl [02:14] mjbrooks, or em64t [02:14] juano: okay, I see the server string line [02:14] i call all girls wingmen [02:14] prappl93: ok comment that out [02:14] okies lol [02:14] Evanlec, nope.. guess not [02:14] or dudes [02:14] prappl93: just put a # at the beggining [02:14] juano: with a hash right? [02:14] prappl93: yea [02:14] juano: okay, now what? [02:15] Evanlec, wasn't sure if I was missing something [02:15] Evanlec, thanks [02:15] is it possible to run 2 different moniters out of ONE video card? (ie: HDMI out and a standard moniter) [02:15] prappl93: add this line: netbios name = [02:15] prappl93: dont put the <> [02:15] juano: add this where? [02:15] prappl93: right after the line you commented [02:15] quantum-flux: yes, enable twinview in your xorg.conf file [02:15] i'm so glad my compiz is working, eyecandy really makes it :P [02:15] prappl93: bellow it i mean [02:16] prappl93: the next line [02:16] Jangari: what do i do to get a desktop cube? [02:16] get gl desktop [02:16] jangari: that's why i installed ubuntu heh [02:16] Jangari: in compiz [02:16] ok [02:16] jauno: now what [02:16] Juano: now what [02:16] twinview ok ima try now.. thx for tip [02:16] synaptic > search for compiz, it's the one with the gnome foot as a icon [02:16] prappl93: ok, now scroll down a bit till you find a line that sais wins support = no , which is commented [02:17] juano: uncomment and change no to yes? [02:17] it's damn buggy, but when i cam back this morning it worked perfectly [02:17] came* [02:17] i think it was buggy because i was running it simultaneously with the other compiz manager [02:17] Jangari: not as buggy as it used to be, i got it when it first came compiz fusion of git ;) hardly worked back then :P [02:17] how would one go about updateing the time in the console? [02:18] shadowhywind: man date [02:18] prappl93: your a fast learner ;) [02:18] prappl93: yep [02:18] prappl93: now you will have to add a share entry or uncomment homes dir way at the end of the file [02:18] well surprisingly, the desktop effects in feisty, the 'experimental' ones, worked fine compared with out-of-the-box gutsy [02:18] ja i'm running feisty and it's so smooth [02:18] no wait, were they 7.04? [02:18] maybethey were gutsy after all [02:19] how do i format a floppy disc [02:19] zaxius: you use 7.10 yet? [02:19] juano: what will the homes dir line look like? [02:19] prappl93: where it sais [homes] [02:19] prappl93: below theres some lines with options [02:19] Does anyone know where the VLC media player scalable icon is located? [02:19] sidlet no [02:19] dope: mke2fs /dev/fd0 [02:19] axjv: /usr/share/icons? [02:20] juano: okay, which do I uncomment? [02:20] Jangari: Do you know how to enable a desktop cube in compiz on ubuntu 7.10? [02:20] prappl93: there you have to put writeable = yes , read only = no, browseable = yes [02:20] uncomment? [02:20] ajmorris_: Err, where exactly? I tried looking there. [02:20] is that a word? [02:20] prappl93: all in seperate lines [02:20] prappl93: the rest is to be commented [02:20] When I try to select one of the visual effects options it says the composite extension is not available [02:20] so now what? [02:20] axjv: it depends on your theme, but there is a scalable folder in there [02:20] eltux: what graphics card you have? [02:20] juano: uncomment browseable and change to yes... and add writeable and read only? [02:20] How do I edit alsamixer on the terminal? It is just like a page of text [02:21] danny, after you have installed the dl desktop settings interface, system > preferences > gl desktop, [02:21] go to 'workspaces, [02:21] enable 'cube and rotate' [02:21] prappl93: yep just as i put you before ^^ [02:21] and then there are options like 'inside a cube' versus outside, and render an image behind it [02:21] danny: ATI Radeon X1300 XGE [02:21] :) [02:21] Ezradane`Larran: run alsamixer, it is a 'text' volume mixer where you can turn your vol up/down [02:21] but... [02:21] *it is [02:21] juano: save and that is it? [02:21] it won't do that extrapolation thing that beryl does [02:22] sirdork did someone answer your question about writing to the usb hdd? [02:22] prappl93: you can add extra dirs for file-sharing, but well get back to it soon, no wait [02:22] ajmorris_: The thing is, vlc isn't default installed on ubuntu, so the themes don't come with a vlc icon. [02:22] that takes too much cpu'age [02:22] prappl93: now scroll up , and find a line that sais security = user [02:22] eltux: go to synaptic package manager and install xorg [02:22] axjv: no, but when vlc is installed, it puts it into a theme folder [02:22] emma fine ignore me [02:22] danny: ok [02:22] prappl93: uncomment that line [02:22] prappl93: make sure it sais security = user [02:22] I really never ignore anyone :) [02:22] emma no they just said upgrade to 7.10 [02:22] ajmorris_: Well, would it be located in ~/.icons because I have a custom icon theme? [02:23] eltux: then restart your computer [02:23] play hard to get [02:23] sirdork - Oh. I'm not sure. I'm not sure if this could work either but you might try editing /etc/fstab [02:23] juano: alright, now what [02:23] don't you just have to log out and log back in under a new session? [02:23] xorg? [02:23] Am I alone in thinking that gnome-screensaver removing access to each screensaver's preferences is an absolutely abhorrent design decision? Ubuntu should ditch it and ship with xscreensaver or some alternative [02:23] prappl93: ok, once you did all that , save & exit [02:23] axjv: dont think so, it should go into, hicolor or something in /usr/share/icons [02:23] juano: alright, thanks [02:23] prappl93: make sure that file is named smb.conf [02:23] prappl93: now [02:23] juano: it should work right? [02:23] prappl93: nope [02:24] danny: its already there [02:24] offipso: no, you're not alone, i want to change the images shown on the cosmos thing, can't find the directory [02:24] prappl93: theres more [02:24] juano: now what [02:24] axjv: if you open synaptic and scroll down to vlc, in the installed files section, it will tell you where the icon is located [02:24] eltux: do you have the restricted driver running for it [02:24] danny: yes [02:24] Jangari: Yeah, I had that exact same problem [02:24] thanks guys [02:24] prappl93: you need to add a user to your smbpasswd file [02:24] eltux: hmm [02:24] danny: let me try rebooting [02:24] sirdork, you might see something in /etc/fstab that looks something like this: /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto rw,noauto,user,sync 0 0 [02:24] so, does anyone know the directory that gnome-screensaver>cosmos runs off? [02:24] eltux: yes [02:24] juano: where is that [02:24] Jnagari: I wrote a script that runs once a day and downloads the Astronomy Picture of the Day, then wanted the screensaver to look in that directory [02:25] yeah right [02:25] prappl93: type this sudo smbpasswd [02:25] Jangari: It's in, hang on a sec... [02:25] juano: type that in what? [02:25] sirdork, find the entry for the drive that is being mounted and then make sure that it has that rw in there. [02:25] i've just got tons of wicked astronomy shots [02:25] Jangari: what is the name again gl desktop [02:25] prappl93: it will prompt for password [02:25] ajmorris_ how do I edit it then? [02:25] emma that doesn't contain anything relating to my usb drive only the hdd and cdrom [02:25] anyone use vmware server on 7.10? [02:25] prappl93: type in a pass you wish [02:25] plus others, no reason it only has to be cosmologicalshots [02:25] ajmorris_: Thanks, it was /usr/share/vlc/vlc48x48.ico [02:25] danny: GL Desktop [02:25] Jangari: is it in synaptic package manager [02:25] that's it [02:25] yes [02:25] the usb drive has to have something in there because that's the file that keeps track of things that get mounted [02:25] prappl93: any errors ? or all ok ? [02:25] Jangari: Try /usr/share/applications/screensavers/glslideshow.desktop [02:25] it'll show up if you search for compiz [02:26] juano: Ok [02:26] somewhere in there anyway [02:26] Jangari: If you edit that file you can put options in the exec=glslideshow line, and there might be one called --location=~/yourdirectory [02:26] maybe just try searching for gl desktop [02:26] prappl93: ok, it didnt say "failed to modify bla bla" right ? [02:26] juano: right [02:26] Ezradane`Larran: you press the arrow keys up and down, it moves the volume up and down, and press left/right arrow keys to change from master to PCM, etc... [02:26] Jangari: i only get Glib [02:26] What's the command for enabling direct rendering? [02:26] thanks, offipso, i'll have a look [02:26] Lost my trash icon. I know it's my fault. I remember hiding it at some point. But I can't remember how to get it back on desktop. [02:26] prappl93: upsy daysy i forgot one thing [02:26] juano: okay, what? [02:26] hang on danny, i'm taking a look [02:27] prappl93: do gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf [02:27] Jangari: thanks you help is appreciated [02:27] faintofhearts: nvidia? [02:27] prappl93: and go to the line that sais workgroup = [02:27] ati [02:27] eltux: go to restricted drivers [02:27] juano: yes? [02:27] Jangari: however, the only way I was able to get it to work satisfactorily (I don't like having to run xscreensvaer-demo to get the properties and then copying it in by hand) is to remove gnome-screensaver and install xscreensaver [02:27] doug: nope that didn't do it :( I dunno what's wrong this time. It worked last time [02:27] prappl93: there you have to put workgroup = [02:27] juano: it was already like that [02:28] nevermind [02:28] I got it. [02:28] eltux: go to restricted drivers [02:28] juano: is that it? [02:28] danny: ok [02:28] ain't there just a directory where the images are located and the screensaver just takes a random image? [02:28] prappl93: if your workgroup is there correctly.. ok [02:28] eltux: is the driver for you ati enabled? [02:28] honestly, black boxes man! [02:28] save & exit [02:28] hello maytes [02:28] juano: that all? [02:28] I think the gnome developers are stuck up morons for forcing those sorts of design flaws on people in the name of new features..like when they had spatial nautilus mode and didn't have an obvious way to turn it off, nor information about how to find the buried option in some editor [02:28] danny: yes [02:28] prappl93: ok, now do this [02:28] eltux: reinstall xorg [02:28] prappl93: sudo smbd restart [02:28] ajmorris_ : I am basically trying to get my mic working... Was told to do that, but it has made no difference. Any other advice? [02:28] whats the bigest BT website now? [02:29] prappl93: and nmbd restart [02:29] prappl93: and sudo nmbd restart [02:29] juano: alright, now what [02:29] eltux: go to synaptic package manager remark for reinstallion [02:29] prappl93: now it should be all good [02:29] Any suggestions for the lost/moved trash? [02:29] juano: alright [02:29] what even is nautilus? [02:29] prappl93: go to places , network [02:29] danny: ok. [02:29] never used it [02:29] prappl93: you should see your win machine there [02:29] and from windows they should see you [02:29] Jangari: did you find anything about gl desktop ? [02:30] Juano: I do see the network, there are comps on there, but none are showing unless my bro turned his off [02:30] yeah danny, take a look and see if you already have installed "gnome-compiz-manager" [02:30] prappl93: sorry ? [02:30] Can anyone suggest a good CLI app for AVI to DVD conversion?? [02:30] juano: his comp is on but not showing up, and it is in the workgroup [02:30] Ezradane`Larran: hmm, mic, if it is turned all the way up in the int mic section in alsamixer, pastebin the output of sudo lspci [02:30] prappl93: he have a windows pc ? [02:31] juano: yes [02:31] danny: alright now what? restart? [02:31] eltux: try enabling it [02:31] anyone know how to make alt+tab (cycle through windows) operate on all windows in all workspaces? [02:31] Jangari: its installed [02:31] prappl93: mm it should appear, but you see all other windows pcs ? [02:31] oh, then that must not be it [02:31] danny: still giving me that error [02:32] juano: his is the only one on right now on the network [02:32] danny, have you got gl desktop in your system> prefs? [02:32] eltux: ok i had the same problem..... [02:32] help! trying to configure shorewall to allow apache to be seen from the net can anyone assist [02:32] yes [02:32] juano: why is it not showing? [02:32] danny: so now what? [02:32] prappl93: try this from your linux pc, places ---> connect to server... [02:32] I cannot find my trash bin. Does anyone have a suggestion? [02:32] Jangari: yes [02:32] then open it! [02:32] juano: now what? [02:32] gmw, gconf-editor , Choose apps->nautilus->desktop, tick the box trash icon visible [02:32] eltux: im trying to think 1 sec [02:33] prappl93: select windows share [02:33] it might apear buggy, don't worry about that yet [02:33] juano: now what [02:33] and you might have to try and open it twice [02:33] and in server type in your bros pc name [02:33] Does anyone know what is wrong with my system? The top left two thirds of my screen is dimmed when the password prompt or log out screen pops up but leaves the bototm and right sides only barely dimmed. Here's a pic of the problem: http://i1.tinypic.com/87nmbk6.png [02:33] eltux: ok open synaptic package manager [02:33] juano: why his pc name? that has nothing to do with network [02:33] prappl93: he has to be sharing a folder at least for this to work [02:33] and things'll appear fvcked up when you 'enable effects' or whatever it's called' [02:33] eltux: tell me if these files are installed [02:33] fvcked? [02:33] prappl93: what ? [02:33] juano: why his PC name? [02:33] eltux: 1 sec [02:33] yes AgentF, i use latin orthography [02:34] vse* [02:34] what's the command that'll format a usb stick [02:34] prappl93: your brothers pc name [02:34] eltux: install XGL [02:34] prappl93: whats your brothers pc name ? [02:34] juano: why his PC name though? [02:34] dope: mkfs I think [02:34] dope: man mkfs for info [02:34] juano: I am asking why I use his comp name [02:34] prappl93: so you can connect to it [02:34] juano: i typed it in, now what [02:35] prappl93: connect or next [02:35] hello all. q: i often have no usb sound after booting 7.10. is there something i can restart when this happens rather than rebooting the whole system? [02:35] prappl93: that should take you to his pc with his shares [02:35] juano: I don't think he is sharing anything so nevermind [02:35] prappl93: lol [02:35] Hi. Is there any way to add a panel/toolbar to a nautilus window without recompiling nautilus? [02:36] prappl93: make him share something [02:36] prappl93: lol [02:36] danny: okay now what [02:36] juano: lol [02:36] eltux: restart [02:36] juano: will this show printers shared over the network? [02:36] danny: brb [02:36] prappl93: yes [02:36] danny, how you goin? [02:36] juano: okay, I will test this then [02:36] I'd like to embed an instance of VLC so i can easily play/stop and drag-n-drop a song from within nautilus [02:37] Is there a framework or sdk perhaps for nautilus? [02:37] Jangari: where is desktop cube located what tab? [02:37] prappl93: remember when you reboot you need to run sudo nmbd start [02:37] prappl93: i recomend a script [02:37] workspaces [02:37] prappl93: startup script [02:37] there is either 'classic', 'cube and rotate' or 'slide' or something [02:37] is there a way to restart the hotplug/usb sound system so i don't have to restart the whole system when it boots up with no sound? [02:37] is there a good dock for Ubuntu running gnome aside from AWN? [02:38] i think it's obvious which one you want [02:38] prappl93: sometimes its good to reboot pcs after changes have been recently made === wckd is now known as wckdkl0wn [02:38] Does anyone know what is wrong with my system? The top left two thirds of my screen is dimmed when the password prompt or log out screen pops up but leaves the bototm and right sides only barely dimmed. Here's a pic of the problem: http://i1.tinypic.com/87nmbk6.png [02:39] danny: sucess! now I can finish setting up ubuntu! [02:39] what's the command to list all network connections?

[02:52] i have cable modem... i can't get internet access [02:52] xp is the host or guest [02:52] now sure which settings to pick on the network wizard [02:52] i think that's a bit more sophisticated in terms of rendering than gl desktop will allow [02:52] xp is the main computer, im running VMware within my XP [02:53] kl4m_, nothing went to a command prompt, something must have gone off while it was scanning the mirror I'll try to install it again [02:53] i usually use bridges if you have a router for internet [02:53] Microsofties, Do you think it's better? [02:53] -ArthurArchnix: thanks for the link. i think the problem is deeper than that. my usb headset isn't even being detected. i think i need to restart usb/hotplug system. [02:53] frost0: you could make a script that runs metacity --replace & yourapp; compiz --replace [02:53] yea i have a basic router setup on my cable modem [02:53] use bridged connection [02:53] crdlb , opengl works now. you're a beast [02:53] Jangari: i seen ppl do it on youtube [02:53] i selected the bridged connection [02:53] but you can do funky sh|t like hold alt and scroll button up ordown to changethe transparency of a window, [02:53] do i need to restart the router before i can gain access? [02:53] i know, it's beryl, [02:53] no but install vmware tools [02:53] it's a bit over the top for my tastes [02:54] debotime123, well the beryl project has merged with compiz. beryl is no longer developed so bugs etc...you deal with yourself [02:54] oh that might be the problem that wasn't installed [02:54] it is for a game..and i can run custom .cfg's so if i add that code to a custom script..it might work? [02:54] once i get that installed i will give ya a holler. [02:54] debotime123, and yea its way better [02:54] thanks ;) [02:54] danny, the short answer is: i don't know nor care how to get most of those effects you saw on youtube [02:54] got a copy of Ubuntu 7 downloading [02:54] it's almost done, i'll install then install the tools [02:55] Loki2010: There's no command prompt but a log of installer actions [02:55] but the zooming out effect is pretty cool [02:55] crdlb, it is for a game..and i can run custom .cfg's so if i add that code to a custom script..it might work? [02:55] compiz/beryl is just a waste of valuable CPU [02:55] Jangari: ok [02:55] i had an issue installing the tools last time because the CD drive was LOCKED or something [02:55] i wasn't able to install the .pl file or whatever it was [02:55] John_5: beryl runs on 3d card, not on cpu [02:55] anyayone uses rhythmbox here??????????????????????????????????? [02:55] you got me there >_< [02:55] by all means try the other compiz interface, i got rid of it, because it was heavily buggy, and i couldn't see where to access the keyboard shortcuts or anything for any of the effects, [02:55] I still don't use it as I find things run alot faster without it [02:56] Rob423, make sure the drive is set to connect on startup for the first few times, unless you want to manually connect it [02:56] but it has a lot more rendering effects [02:56] frost0: you can put anything between the "metacity --replace &" and the "compiz --replace" [02:56] how do you list resolutions that your video card/monitor will support? [02:56] i just can't remember what it's called [02:56] i usually dont keep the cd drive connected [02:56] John_5: i run beryl, doesnt matter at all with speed, but with beryl it feels more natural to me [02:57] crdlb, do i have to put like exec or something in front of it? [02:57] frost0: nope [02:57] anyone know of a good mysql ui? [02:57] frost0: for cleanness use three separate lines, 1) metacity --replace & 2) whatever you want 3) compiz --replace [02:58] acalbaza, i use xampp [02:58] to do all for mysql, but phpmyadmin is the best [02:58] how do i grep for "(" ? [02:58] yeah phpmyadmin is great [02:59] kl4m_, I'm gonna format the both the 20 and 60 gig hd on the pc and try it again it had other OS's on it better to be completely clean install anyway [02:59] "grep -E \(" isnt working for me [02:59] how can i get ATI drivers for Ubuntu [02:59] stickyicky: just quote it?

But, if it doesnt, hit escape and go back to the menu, then select the grub install, and that'll ask. [03:02] sweet command [03:02] or you might need to boot ubuntu with priority=low [03:03] Nyle: on the alternate cd or live? [03:03] Why is it that .WAV files are refusing to play in Audacious under Gutsy?

Or at least, it couldn't with feisty. Only choice is which HD to install it to [03:04] you don't even hae to install grub on ubuntu [03:04] thas the beauty of it [03:04] is there a way to do a clean install of ubuntu on top of an existing ubuntu without using a cd [03:04] #compiz-fusion [03:04] Flannel: yah thats my experience with the live cd [03:04] CSharpNub: use putty [03:05] securecrt is for the birds [03:05] blazebud: you have windows?

[03:05] What happened [03:06] Wtf was that [03:06] blazebud: then install grub for nt, put c:\grldr in c:\boot.ini so ntldr can load grub loader (grldr) and grldr will look for c:\menu.lst in which you can tell it to boot the ubuntu kernel on whichever hd its on. you don't need to even isntall grub on your linux partitions if you don't want to [03:06] Flannel: it automatically installed to hd0 for me, no prompt [03:06] !traffic [03:06] NOTICE - There is a lot of traffic in this channel at the moment.

Thank you for understanding! [03:06] blazebud: Well, somewhere near the end, if you hit escape when youre prompted for something, you'll go back to the expert mode, where you see a series of steps. You'll want to start back to where you just were, and then proceed down the list, at the end, will be make grub floppies, instal grub, or instal llilo. [03:07] Nyle: that leaves me with the problem of, how do i get ubuntu to not install grub at all [03:07] blazebud: Did it ask you about boot floppies? [03:07] Flannel: nope [03:07] blazebud: thats weird [03:07] osxdude: had to look it up. [03:07] Flannel: im installing on a laptop though so no floppy drive [03:08] in the alternate cd i guess you can boot with priority=low param and get it to work [03:08] * sea4ever is afraid of version requests [03:08] then when you install ubuntu, just skip the grub step if you want [03:08] blazebud: well, anyway, the escape/continue thing will work. Or you can just choose expert mode from the very beginning. Although it will prompt you for a bunch of stuff [03:08] there are lots of ways [03:08] sea4ever: then turn on CTCP flood protection [03:08] why would someone take the time to attack ubuntu [03:08] While streaming a video in vlc, there's about a 1 second delay between pressing pause and the video actually pausing.

[03:23] lol ok [03:24] cowbud hehe your right, i use wireless so much i forget about being directly connected. [03:24] Xenocide21: D-Link dont actually make the chipset inside it which does all the wireless work, so I need to figure what it has inside.

[03:24] I'm also having a wireless problem [03:25] I've got a Microsoft Mouse and I've been trying to get the thumb buttons to work on it.... I've tried a lot of different xorg configurations, but none of them seem to give me any love... Any suggestions? The thumb buttons register as buttons 2 and 3, the same as the middle and right buttons... Ideally, they would register as 6 and 7.

[03:42] notkittie: no, it just freezes with the loader saying "scanning all devices...." [03:42] Quick question: just burned .iso to CD and upon boot wants to install no option for live run (not install to HDD); Is this normal or do I have a bad CD image? === gsr_ is now known as gsr [03:43] riotkittie: not only that, but there are no terminal mesages [03:43] INRider2007: errr. did you download the live CD? or the alternate? [03:43] i downloaded jre amd64 and installed it manually. wich java plugin should i put in firefox libs? [03:44] vasilisa: I have the same problem, only way for me to get gparted to run is to reboot and the first thing I do is to start gparted. If I do anything else before starting gparted it gets stuck on scanning devices. [03:44] any tips on using rsync to backup files? [03:45] I did not check the check box for alternate. [03:45] liddan: You mean right at startup, or even before loading the gui? [03:45] vasilisa: at startup, just after login [03:46] one more question. qtparted said something interesting just now : File system was not cleanly unmounted! You should run e2fsck.

[03:48] !fsck [03:48] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. 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 [03:49] I am trying to view video files, but the colors are all dark.

[03:52] nextse7en: if ntfs-3g doesnt work, maybe try -t fuse ... but like i said, i dunno [03:52] ITs actually mint, so its here.

[04:10] C074N63N7: and it recognized your network out of the box? [04:10] Which is ticking me off NO end .... [04:10] sidlet: It detected my card, but it's not using it properly somehow [04:10] Any ideas? [04:10] Calilasseia: yeah but even My CDrw-DVD in my laptop is kinda flaky as a reader, I'm just curous if it's crappin out while reading.. [04:11] C074N63N7: i see.

[04:12] close enough :P [04:12] prappl93: yes i'm familiar with the network config wizard. Just curious why it doesnt display "discovered" networks. Do you have to enter your network name by hand? is that common? [04:12] redheron...well maybe you have root enabled...try logging in as root maybe instead of sudo?

[04:13] Hi I try to get DVD playback to work on Gusy. Nothing int he forums solved it [04:13] the only time I had sudo outright fail was when I had root as an active acount [04:13] sidlet: if you click on the Manual thing, and click wireless, Properties, in the drop-down list for Network Name, find the one that you want to use [04:13] sidlet: Yeah, apparently it's a known problem that only affects a few chipsets [04:13] Just checked my master CD drive ... seems to be working fine on read ... [04:13] Lots of the screensavers use 100% CPU. All but the GL* ones - presumably because they use hardware acceleration. Is there anyway to enable hardware acceleration on the other screensavers? [04:13] I've never logged in as root... didn't know the password. [04:13] oy [04:13] prappl93: no networks are displayed in that drop list. [04:13] I've just had it scan something like 60 megs of JPEG files and they all appeared in the viewer without any glitches .... [04:13] sidlet: I tried using ndiswrapper, but I couldn't get the driver to work [04:13] sidlet: I do not know what the problem is then, you might have to tie the knot and install it to find out [04:14] prappl93: thats my issue so far then. My network card indicator doesnt turn blue either, it stays amber. [04:14] prappl93: I'm downloading the gutsy iso as we speak, hoping that will have my sound and network working out of the box. [04:14] Is it the same as my account? [04:14] yo [04:14] whats cooking [04:14] sidlet: Good luck with that... [04:15] calilasseia, I'm more worried about the sustained read of having to pull all the data down.. [04:15] If my CD drive was glitching on read would it load up all those art files into my JPEG viewer without a hitch? [04:15] sidlet: you will get used to Ubuntu really quickly when you start using it [04:15] prappl93: i've got an ubuntu desktp that i'm shelled into right now :) [04:15] when installing sun-java6 its came up blue screen i dont know what to do i press enter whant work [04:15] been a user for about 6 months now [04:15] how can i change the number of terminals that are loaded. I only need 3, including the gui. [04:15] I just bought this lappy today. Excited to get it dual booting [04:16] ah [04:16] Hmm ... [04:16] So... candidacy for a reinstall of Ubuntu? My /home is separately partitioned, so I don't think I need to worry about data loss, and I'm wondering if it might solve the issues I'm having with root. [04:17] redheron, try fixing your broken sudo, give yourself admin privileges again, in recovery mode on boot [04:17] ok, but how without knowing the root password (since it didn't tell it to me during the install)? [04:17] when installing sun-java6 its came up blue screen i dont know what to do i press enter whant work [04:17] ?? [04:18] i'm on a fresh ubuntu install today and i'm getting about 1000fps lower than usual in glxgears. dri is enabled and opengl works, but warcraft 3 is very choppy under wine when it is usually fast. any help? [04:18] is it possible to open an sqlite database in OO.org DB? [04:18] Hello everyone. [04:18] What is the best way to back up files to another computer? SSH is way too slow. [04:18] redheron, command , adduser user_name admin, in recover mode [04:18] Oh well, looks like I'm going to have to spend an hour or so downloading the alternate installer and see if that bombs out the same way .... [04:19] redheron, in recovery mode you are logged in as root [04:19] Can anyone help me with an install issue with 7.10? [04:19] Ill cross my fingers for ya [04:19] How can you convert lots of music files? [04:19] okay, will try and report back results in either case... thanks, buttercup! [04:19] he Whats up? [04:19] *S [04:19] If I download an alternate ISO, should I download 7.04 or 7.10? [04:19] technilogica, between formats? [04:19] I have a folder full of flac that i want to convert to musepack [04:19] hi, is there anyway that I cleanup all X configuration and let ubuntu configure like a clean install? [04:20] dpkg-reconfigure xorg makes it worse [04:20] compwiz18, i found gnormalize, but it won't let me select anything other than the default bitrate [04:20] technilogica, try soundconvert (in the repos) or lame (harder to use, also in the repo) [04:20] Calilassea, Depends on your pref, I'm using gutsy myself, it had a few quirks i had to get rid of but overall I'm liking it more [04:20] !ask | The [04:20] The: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [04:20] OK< I'll try 7.10 ... [04:20] any shorewall users here [04:20] technilogica, sorry, soundconvert_er_ [04:20] Pooyak, you're having problems with xorg? I've had those in the past .... [04:21] Start off by selecting the bare bones vesa driver to get a basic working system ... [04:21] Calilasseia, usual nvidia problems. [04:21] Calilasseia, yes I can get a barebone working [04:21] where is the file located that handles the startup scripts on ubuntu? [04:21] I found that worked with me in the past ... select the basic vesa driver first, then try other drivers on a piecemeal basis until I find one that works ... [04:21] Well, I have an external scsi and an internal hdd on my desktop. I installed Ubuntu Studio 7.10. When it installed GRUB I think it installed it on my [04:21] scsi instead of my internal hdd, thinking it was a laptop. I can't see a dual boot loader, all I see is my XP side. [04:21] /etc/rc.d [04:22] Only in my case I find the Radeon drivers are buggy as hell ... [04:22] compwiz18, bah. hardcoded encoders. i really would like musepack.... [04:22] So I only use the vesa driver because that's the only one that works on my system ... when I can get a bootable OS up and running that is ... [04:22] Calilasseia, yes the vesa one works but when I install nvidia drivers again on that [04:22] is it safe to use jfs or should i stay with ext3 [04:22] what Radeon do you have? [04:22] What should I do to get my computer to boot so I can see both OS's at boot? [04:22] i go with reiser usually [04:22] arbitrarystring> there are 6 rc.d's for me, which one? [04:23] they're all safe [04:23] Calilasseia, the xorg.conf doesn't get updated correctly and nvidia-settings can't read its own created settings [04:23] not xfs [04:23] Radeon 7000 ... like I said, my machine is an antique .... [04:23] elubin, use rc.local [04:23] thank you [04:23] add what you want to that and you wno [04:23] won' [04:23] t mess much up really [04:23] Sounds like what must be happening with my card as well Pooyak ... never thought of that .... [04:23] is there anybody successfully installed ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 Driver on Gutsy?? [04:24] is there anybody successfully installed ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 Driver on Gutsy?? [04:24] I'm bulding a new GTK+ and Metacity theme tomorrow. I just need to learn how now :) [04:24] how do I close vi [04:24] oh...is there anybody successfully installed ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 Driver on Gutsy?? [04:24] I know its unethical but can anybody tell me what I could do to my router with access to it from a web browser? [04:24] am i better off reinstalling ubuntu if i want to remove kde [04:24] CSharpNub // type ":q" [04:24] CSharpNub, :q [04:24] Vhain, if my experience with Radeon cards and Linux is anything to go by I'd skip that and put up with the bare bones vesa driver .... [04:25] kde is just to big [04:25] vi is so user friendly....just selective about its friends [04:25] i got vesa driver. [04:25] and i tried to install fglrx but.. === AmiDaniel_away is now known as amidaniel [04:25] failed [04:25] I'm content with my craptastic radeon. [04:25] theres a mobility driver? [04:25] Anyone? [04:25] Should I install GRUB to my hda1 drive, if Ubuntu is installed on my scsi external drive? [04:26] smbdy help me! [04:26] is there anybody successfully installed ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 Driver on Gutsy?? [04:26] Vhain, last time I tried the fglrx driver on my machine, it screwed up BIG TIME ... wouldn't touch it with an 80 foot barge pole .... [04:26] vhain: same expereince as Calilasseia [04:27] the new ATI drivers are for all of us [04:27] are not! [04:27] anyone got a program that is like webhost manager [04:27] lol [04:27] panzies :P [04:27] it cant be that bad [04:27] vhain, you're trying the latest binary release from the ati website? [04:27] In fact, given the crap I've been experiencing lately just getting an OS to install I'm wondering it I shouldn't just kick the whole thing into touch and live with boring old Windows ... [04:27] yeah [04:27] Okay, can NOT get into the root account in recovery mode WITHOUT THE ROOT PASSWORD. [04:27] and the installer miserably fails eh? [04:27] arbitrary strings, i already have a dhcp server running and starting up at login, and i want to turn it off, im looking in each rc1.d up to rc6.d and they all contain a text file _20dhcp where _ is a letter that varies, which one would i touch and what should i do with it so that it doesnt startup [04:28] Which, by the way, was never provided. [04:28] * redheron is frustrated. [04:28] and i also tried method on "http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide" [04:28] Can anyone help me with a GRUB install question? It's very simple [04:28] hi all can any one help me with installing sun-java ? [04:28] if anyone has a second, I would love to know what font is used in this screenshot: http://fc05.deviantart.com/fs16/i/2007/124/b/e/Royale_Vista_VS_by_dobee.jpg [04:29] elubin, I don't know sorry mate, try greping through em [04:29] Oh well, I'll try downloading the 7.10 alternate installer, burn that, and see if that dies too .... [04:29] I've tried asking the question a number of times, with no results. [04:29] Bye all .... [04:29] k thanks anyway [04:29] i like that vista [04:29] is that ubuntu [04:29] Ubuntu Vista... never heard of it. [04:30] im sure someone has made a vista theme for ubuntu [04:30] its like ubuntu only crappy [04:30] im asking if that is one of them [04:30] is there anybody successfully installed ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 Driver on Gutsy?? T_T [04:30] HOW DO I INSTALL GRUB IF UBUNTU IS INSTALLED ON AN EXTERNAL DRIVE??? [04:30] Anyway, sudo isn't working, I don't have a root password, and I don't know what other options I can try. [04:30] vhain, i'm looking for what i used, [04:31] not same card but same setup [04:31] thanks! [04:31] I've never been provided with a root password at any point during the install, and I don't know where to look, since suddenly my browser doesn't want to work. [04:31] i tried everything... including "http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide" [04:31] redheron, did not work? [04:31] just to be weird, try sudo sudo su [04:32] buttercups, I don't have a password for root [04:32] if that gives you a prompt congrats [04:32] it asked for one in recovery mode. [04:32] redheron: just showed up, but did you try your user passwd? [04:32] !caps | The [04:32] The: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [04:32] MY user password on the root account? [04:32] oy...brb [04:32] redheron: yes [04:32] Odd... but I'll try that. [04:33] Well, obviously I needed to shout, because I got no answers after several attemps at a problem I am having. [04:33] Nope, wrong password. [04:33] i need help with my sound on ubuntu 7.10 [04:33] http://pastebin.com/m4d44bb2a [04:33] * redheron sighs. :-( [04:33] redheron: and you never set a root password? [04:33] Nope, I never did. [04:33] hm [04:33] !patience | The [04:33] The: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [04:33] CubeXombe: Did you find that..? [04:34] I've only had Ubuntu for like a week, and I'm a Windows user before that. [04:34] does anyone know about mono & apache [04:34] any shorewall users here [04:34] I'm getting *really* frustrated. [04:34] CubeXombe: Did you find that..? [04:34] I'm wondering if I should check the MD5 sum on my login binary. [04:34] Which I'm wondering how to find out what the correct value should be. [04:35] I am quite aware of IRC guidelines. But the funny thing is, when I go to other IRC places, I get answers. All I seem to get here is the cold should, [04:35] when I ask politely. [04:35] redheron, what happened when you booted into recovery mode? [04:35] redheron: the reason i had asked if you tried your user password is that the root account by default is disabled in ubuntu. therefore you shouldnt be getting asked for it ;/ [04:35] should-shoulder [04:35] 貴社ますますご盛栄のこととお慶び申し上げます。 [04:35] The: Post the output of "fdisk -l" to pastebin. Also post the output of "cat /boot/grub/menu.lst" to pastebin. [04:36] It asked me for a password, which I didn't have, or to hit Control-D, which I did after 2 failed password attempts and it started normally after that. [04:36] The: What was your question? [04:36] The: Also be aware that I am answering questions during commercials while watching a movie. I may not respond immediately. Perhaps someone else will move more quickly. I am aware of at least three or four threads that I have participated in on the ubuntuforums dealing with your problem. [04:37] Burlynn, buttercup, so what to do now? [04:37] redheron, just press enter, not control d, that will just boot you into normal boot [04:37] just trying to figure out how to install GRUB if I have ubuntu on an external drive, without killing my XP? To have a dual boot loader? [04:37] buttercups, so... no password at all? [04:37] Do I install it to hda1? [04:37] redheron, yes no password at all [04:37] The: I have booted various linux distros to external flash drives with success [04:37] buttercups, thanks, I'll try that. [04:38] !fixgrub | The [04:38] The: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:38] anyone here having problems with wine and counter-strike source? I asked in the #winehq but no replys so I figured I'd check here... [04:38] The: hda1 is your main HD... thats a nono [04:38] no, an external hard drive, not flash drive. A scsi hard drive. [04:38] Burlynn, buttercups, arbitrarystring, I'll try that and brb [04:38] The: usually, "sudo updade-grub" works fine [04:38] The: an external drive will come up as sda/sdb/sdc etc too. same. [04:38] vhain, sorry dude just checked on my docs... worn't help you too much, I don't see the HD2600 mentioned [04:39] hi new member here, with mythtv questions. [04:39] so does that mean I need to install GRUB to hda1 to boot into ubutnu on sda1? [04:39] The: s/updade/update/ [04:39] CubeXombe: oh.. that's okay... i [04:39] The: From a prompt, type "mount" then find your sda [04:39] what is a good program to install software on ubuntu [04:39] The: No, that is not how you boot from an external drive. [04:40] !better | aciddrop [04:40] aciddrop: 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. [04:40] well, I'm using ubuntu studio 7.10. so it's got a way to "fix" a grub install. it asks if I want to install it to hda1 or hda2?

I assume its USB, rihgt? [04:40] *right, excuse me [04:40] I'll have to check, but I believe that's right. [04:41] i want something to where if i got the files for the install on my desktop i open the program direct it to the files and it does the rest [04:41] well, actually, my scsi is 1394 firewire. [04:41] is there a way to mount bin files in linux? [04:41] Well regardless, your BIOS needs to support booting from [04:41] i have a dhcp server running on my ubuntu pc and just installed rcconf and was wondering if the dhcp startup script handles both the ip address of the computer itself as well as the dhcp server or if they are separate [04:41] Is there anybody succeeded installing ATi Mobility Radeon HD 2600 on Gutsy?? I'm now using vesa driver(the default) but, i cannot use desktop effect(compiz) with that.. [04:41] okay, I'll check that. then install GRUB to hda1? [04:42] The: Usually you press something like F12 on startup to get a list of devices to boot from. [04:42] will my bios tell me which buttom to hit? [04:42] buttercups, Burlynn, arbitrarystring, no-go: it still says "Login incorrect." === pipelinexpc is now known as pipelineaudio [04:42] The: No, what I am trying to say is that you dont need GRUB to boot from an external device [04:42] Is there anybody succeeded installing ATi Mobility Radeon HD 2600 on Gutsy?? I'm now using vesa driver(the default) but, i cannot use desktop effect(compiz) with that..\ [04:43] ah, so just turn on that function in my bios, and that's it? But I have an XP mirror (raid) on that same external drive. === Pilotguy_aw is now known as Pilotguy [04:43] The: You just need to have it set up the right way so your BIOS recognises it as something that will boot [04:43] it's getting more complicated isn't it? [04:43] The: Yes.... [04:43] Is there anybody succeeded installing ATi Mobility Radeon HD 2600 on Gutsy?? I'm now using vesa driver(the default) but, i cannot use desktop effect(compiz) with that.. [04:44] ah, okay, it will give me a choice when it sees two OS's on the external drive? [04:44] The: Windows on the same drive is going to make this a lot harder, and now we probably DO need grub on the drive [04:44] how do I disable services like ftp, samba, ssh from being started when I boot up the PC? [04:45] !awn [04:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about awn - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:45] He He He He [04:45] !shorewall [04:45] 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). [04:45] !avant-window-navigator [04:45] vhain, compiz in gutsy might not work with said driver, you could consider installing beryl [04:45] chuy_max: check scripts on /etc/init.d/ [04:45] Well, let me ask you this, I don't need windows on that drive, so is there a file or something I an delete to keep it from being an OS on the external [04:45] drive? [04:45] vhain, I have an Ati Radeon Mobility and 3D effects worked without very much trouble [04:46] * redheron is out of ideas. [04:46] That way, ubuntu will be the only OS on that drive. [04:46] redheron, thats really odd, if you never set a root password you should be granted root access in recovery mode automatically [04:46] vhain, but fortunately my ubuntu installation installed the right drivers for the card :) [04:46] The: If you want only ubuntu on that drive, then just do this... [04:47] okay, but I do need to keep the 17gigs I have for my photos on that drive, I'm a photographer, so I can't use the whole external. [04:47] buttercups, that's why I want to check MD5 sums... I was reading online before my browser crapped out that I may need to check for a difference. [04:47] you're very lucky chuy_max :) oh.. [04:47] sandaru1, what am I looking for?, what should I modify?, chmod -x service? [04:48] for some reason my nvidia card decides to use TV output as the mainout in the text mode [04:48] The: First format the whole entire drive. Then get out your liveCD and boot to that, then go to a console and type mount to get a list of devices, find your external drive "sd something", then install to it. Now that its installed the way it would to any other "internal" hard drive, just tell your BIOS to boot from it. [04:48] chuy_max: yes, that'll work.. or create a directory called "disabled" and move those scripts to that directory [04:48] The: Your BIOS has to be able to boot from firewire, of cource, but that would work [04:49] has anyone got FGLRX to work with an ATI x1650 on 7.10? [04:49] how do i change the directory with wine so I can load a program? [04:49] reheron, it isn't outside the realm of possiblity that your system has been compromised [04:49] but like I said, I do need to keep a spaceon that drive for windows photos for now. But, if I delete the "windows" folder from that side, would it [04:49] "kill" XP on that drive? [04:50] eltux: just use the full path [04:50] I understand that, in which case I'll reinstall, but I want to check the MD5's against what they should be to make sure. [04:50] this is weird, huh? [04:50] Flannel: its in Program Files, so how am i suppose to navigate to that in the terminal? [04:50] The: Well, concidering that "WINDOWS" folder holds the kernal plus just about every file vital to the OS, I would say it kills XP... [04:50] how do i create matlab icone on desk top ? [04:50] well let me ask you this, can ubuntu read ntfs files?? Like photo files? [04:50] arbitrarystring, the above was meant to reply to you [04:51] Every time i try to install ATI drivers + ubuntu = BLACK SCREEN [04:51] eltux: wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/ [04:51] thanks Flannel [04:52] hi [04:52] redheron, thanks, my advice is backup now, ask questions later :) [04:52] lol [04:52] wow, completely ignored [04:52] can I make apache on ubuntu create new files with permissions 664 instead of 644 without compiling it? [04:52] i'm gonna remove gutsy and install feisty. hope that help me installing fglrx [04:52] bye [04:52] what is the fastest way to transfer files over LAN? [04:52] SSH is just way too slow [04:52] The: Not sure... [04:52] So, if ubuntu is the only OS on that external drive, I don't need grub? Just change my bios? [04:53] Everyone = Can Ubuntu read NTFS? [04:53] vhain, did your card worked in feisty in the past? [04:53] John_5: Samba, FTP, SCP, NFS are all viable options. [04:53] arbitrarystring, any ideas where I might find the correct MD5's for comparison, since my browser isn't seeming to work? [04:53] The: I've been following your conversation and its confusing. Can you summarize it please? Something like, I have windows xp installed on an internal drive, raid setup with an external drive. I created a partition on the internal drive to install ubuntu to.. or I want to install ubuntu... or I installed ubuntu to a partition I made on the external drive and installed ubuntu but now only windows shows up on grub. Somethine along th [04:53] The: You'll need GRUB on that external drive. Your BIOS starts grub [04:53] and it will allow me to boot from XP or ubuntu? [04:53] irreducibilis: Yes. [04:53] Good. [04:53] I am having issues with dual monitors on a GeForce 7600, My main monitor is "zoomed in" though I do not think it is because of an assistant app. If someone could point me in the right direction that would help. [04:53] thanks sidlet [04:53] irreducibilis: Read and write with ntfs-3g [04:53] Whats the best way to tell which kernel you have ? [04:53] The: Yes, I am rather confused as well. [04:53] John_5: np [04:53] irreducibilis: installed by default in ububuntu 7.1 [04:54] chuy_max: my laptop is brand-new. I bought it yesterday. and it uses SATA so feisty live cd does not working. so.. i'm gonna install with alternative cd [04:54] The: GRUB will allow you to choose, yes. Just make sure your windows drive is attached when you install Ubuntu [04:54] chuy_max: in conclusion , i didn't tried. [04:54] I have an external drive, XP on that. I have an external drive, with a Mirror of XP on that (40gigs). I have Ubuntu on the external 70gigs with 2 gig [04:54] swap. Need to be able to boot from either OS. [04:54] would anyone know how to mount a external hdd via usb, if it doesnt show up with lsusb when connected? [04:54] The: Does your external drive allow you to remove the physiscal drive from inside? [04:54] Oops. Internal drive, with XP on that. [04:55] Okay, this is VERY ODD ... buttercups, arbitrarystring, Burlynn, I am suddenly able to browse on the web again. [04:55] Probably [04:55] The: Well you should know [04:55] Ok. Internal drive with XP. External drive with Ubuntu. That it? [04:55] Make it an hda3? === mike is now known as Zaiden [04:55] vhain, what do you expect alternate CD will solve?, AFAIK you use alternate CD when you don't have much RAM, like < 256 MB [04:55] having issues networking this machine with an XP desktop, the desktop can see this user account's shared folders, but my username and password won't work [04:55] * irreducibilis is confuzzled [04:56] Yep, but with XP mirror (it's bootable if I want) on external also. [04:56] vhain, and feisty is older than gutsy, so I wouldnt count on feisty solving the video card issue [04:56] Is that the same external as ubuntu is installed on? [04:56] Yep, they reside side by side. [04:56] chuy_max: hmm.... oh..than.. what can i do..??? T_T [04:56] So you have three partitions on an external drive, a windows mirror, and ubuntu, and a swap. [04:57] The: remove the drives from your computer. Remove the drives from your external. Put the external drives in your computer so they are now internal, do what you want to them using standard procedure. stick them back into the case. [04:57] But I can delete files from the XP side and make it nonbootable, if that's possible. Turns out I don't need that side to boot, just need to keep the [04:57] ntfs part of it. [04:57] The: Don't worry about it, having multiple things bootable isn't a problem [04:57] irreducibilis: ? [04:57] How do you install xmms 1.2.11 manually since using the apt-get command through the terminal installs 1.2.10? [04:57] chuy_max: but.. "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#head-db58a7f32e6242b004c62062227bd1557d184218" says dislike to 7.04, 7.10 has bug [04:57] that sounds interesting irreduciblis. [04:57] vhain, well, uhm, try proprietary and open source drivers, and if it doesn't work, well, I guess you don't have choice ^^ [04:58] The: You would need to delete your WINDOWS folder indirectly... since its impossible to do from inside windows, but not impossible in linux [04:58] chuy_max, open sources drivers such as..?? [04:58] anyone know about how to run asp.net in apache [04:58] true. If I change my bios, would the loader show me both the XP and the Ubuntu side on my external? [04:59] vhain, oh, ok, I didn't know that fact [04:59] So..................confused............ [04:59] The: Itll give you options to boot to linux, and any windows install as well. === Pilotguy is now known as Pilotguy_aw [04:59] chuy_max, hmm... i'll try that ^^ see ya! [04:59] *ahem* Would someone else please kindly help him instead before I get more of a headache? [04:59] The: of course, you can always remove one later if you've got two windows installs and you only want one [04:59] irreducibilis: whats your problem [04:59] You're telling me. May I need to just migrate my photos over to the interanl, reformat, repartition without XP and recopy photos back, with Ubuntu on [04:59] external [04:59] chuy_max, and also, i'm sorry about my poor english :) [05:00] The: Scroll up and follow the commands I gave above. [05:00] magic_ninja: Headache from helping people. [05:00] irreducibilis: help who [05:00] magic_ninja: The [05:00] Sorry irreducibilis, here's some aspirin. [05:00] who can help me? about mono and apache [05:00] I have my internet working, andcan see shared folders between my Ubuntu computer and another XP box, but cant access internet on the XP box (network using 2 nics on the Ubuntu box) any ideas on what to fix? [05:00] vhain the open source modules (driver) are ati and radeon [05:00] people wear that "no I will not fix your computer" T shirt for a reason after all [05:00] The: whast the problem [05:01] vhain, fglrx is the closed source driver [05:01] Funny thing is I fix XP stuff all the time, for everyone else. Just now learning Linux. It's pretty cool. [05:01] LOL, same here [05:02] dont enjoy being a noob all over again [05:02] The: I try to strike a balense between Windows and Linux [05:02] i just got my CD in the mail from ubuntu [05:02] I have some great ideas for some cool icons instead of what I've seen. To make them more easily "readable"? How would I submit something like that. [05:02] I'm also an artist. [05:02] can't wait to install it on my home machine [05:02] i'm excited. [05:02] wtf [05:02] why wait for a cd [05:03] no broadband? [05:03] arbitrarystring, any ideas on where I can look? My web browser seems to be working normally now. [05:03] Yeah, its only 20 miuntes to download the iso [05:03] The: first please change your nick [05:03] chuy_max there is no more closed source [05:03] The: to something a little more unique [05:03] forati [05:03] I will probably eventually migrate over to linux once I'm comfortable with it. I am really hating XP AWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!! [05:03] xp is halfway decent tho one huge gaping security hole [05:03] Evanlec: Good evening. I see you're already in the midst of things:) [05:03] MICROCRAP....SOFT SUCKS.... [05:03] icangoogleit, ??, did ati released the code?

[05:16] yeah i have been having issues with my version of linux [05:16] astro76: it was ext3, i removed the journal to try to resize it, but that didnt work either..... fstab must not work. [05:16] john:works fine for me [05:16] where does the web rood for apache go in the default server installation for ubuntu [05:17] yes [05:17] john: I upgraded from feisty [05:17] vasilisa, fstab has nothing to do with an unmounted filesystem, sounds like you have filesystem errors [05:17] I have 2 monitors, my secondary displays at the correct resolution, but my first is "zoomed in" any tips? [05:17] !fsck | vasilisa [05:17] vasilisa: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. 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 [05:17] drayveal: whats the command? [05:17] i recently upgraded to gutsy gibbon from feisty fawn. 64 amd . and well now i see that my bar at the top o the screen is sometimes gone and when i restat it re-appears. doe sanyone know how i can stop it from goin away? [05:17] * DanaG needeth some help with PulseAudio. [05:17] kasbar: I'd highly recommended installing a newer version, so that you receive important updates and security fixes. [05:17] does anyone know how i might save my current session, and recall it anytime for later use? [05:18] danny: Not sure LOL! one second... I'm kinda a nubie to Linux, but let me find that command for you [05:18] astro76: Here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44977/ [05:18] DanaG, you might also try #ubuntustudio [05:18] k im dling the version 7.10 [05:18] drayveal: i just started today and i made a mac os x leopard theme and posted it =P [05:18] astro76: i might add now that while resizing the partition on the live cd before i started all this, i thought it locked up and canceled the process c.c [05:18] >.> [05:19] vasilisa, then it's probably completely trashed, delete it and create a new one [05:19] who t oopen file and edit thruogh terminal window ? [05:19] astro76: yeah, that'll be easy with 120 gigs of files [05:19] ugh a 2 hour load time [05:19] vasilisa, don't know what to tell you, filesystem resizing is one of those things you CANNOT have interrupted, it's trashed [05:19] DanaG, pulseaudio is tricky, but their website has specific setup insteuctions per distro i believe [05:19] dmi3on: nano /path/to/file [05:19] !pulseaudio [05:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about pulseaudio - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:20] hello, trying to update a Breezy Badger install that has been working quietly away for a couple of years, but the repositories seem to be offline. Are there others around aside from the "ca.archive.ubuntu.com breezy/main" etc..? [05:20] vasilisa, I never do partition operations without backups :/ [05:20] danny, you got it yet? [05:20] icangoogleit, no worries I gave him a link on how to edit that file [05:20] yea I started the other day.... [05:20] i found out how [05:20] nickrud: sudo nano / [05:20] ? [05:20] astro76: I have backups. Anyway the files are accessable. [05:20] jangari: no [05:20] Can anyone tell me how to just watch incoming video going into my hauppauge wintv card on my screen? Forget the DVR / PVR stuff - I just want to watch the channel the satellite box is feeding to the computer because I have no TV [05:20] Anyone in here know how to get an eSATA drive working? [05:20] does anyone know how i might save my current session, and recall it anytime for later use? [05:20] dmi3on: to edit a system file, exactly [05:20] My Logitech USB headset won't work with audacious or any sort of music player [05:20] Dedion, tvtime [05:20] astro76: its just annoying. Backups... i mean, we're talking about gigs and gigs. [05:20] nickrud: thnks [05:21] can anybody point me to a quick (free) drive cloning software? [05:21] Thanks astro76 [05:21] pfieber: you can find repos at old-releases.ubuntu.com, but be aware that breezy doesn't get any security updates anymore, you might want to upgrade it to dapper [05:21] astro76: Well thanks... i may have a cheat for this anyway [05:21] Peddy: mondo, partimage, dd [05:22] danny, check your privates [05:22] thanks tony [05:22] Nickrud: Thanks for that. yeah, upgrade to 7 is in the plan, but not for another month. but I have to update a couple of things right away [05:22] jangari: O_O [05:22] vasilisa, I have little sympathy for all the people who don't want to backup their 100s of gigs of pirated media before doing destructive operations.... anyway your first stop should be a fsck [05:22] i upgraded to 7.10 recently, every once in a while my laptop screen will go blank, the fan will go full blast, and the only thing i can do is hold the power button until it powers off. how do i fix this? [05:23] yeah yeah [05:23] pfieber: breezy was my favorite, fewest issues I ever had on a distro [05:23] where might one find the trash icon? [05:23] is it possible to save gnome sessions by name for later use? [05:23] jangari, if it's not on your gnome panel, you can add it to any panel [05:23] nickrud: nice to know. it's been trouble-free for years, doing yeoman service. I've liked it too. [05:23] Evanlec: not yet [05:24] * greencookie is thinking of using a graphical terminal instead of ttys [05:24] nickrud: Hardy will be better. Breezy and Hardy will both be LTS's [05:24] astro76: Actually its largely po..... yeah, aquired media. I tried fsck... meh, ill just use the other partition since xp wasnt installing anyway [05:24] no, i mean the actual icon, not the trash bin [05:24] nickrud: how ot save file after? [05:24] to use on a location launcher [05:24] Anyone know how to get a USB headset to work in Ubuntu? [05:24] ozzloy: is the laptop a mac? [05:24] dmi3on: ctl-x, and say yes to save (the commands are listed at the bottom of the screen) [05:25] jangari, try: locate trash | grep .png [05:25] ta [05:25] DerangedDingo: not complaining, just remembering just how good breezy was for me [05:25] anyone know why i can't right-click in fluxbox [05:25] nickrud, really? how do the default sessions get there then? [05:25] nickrud: thnk that was my bad question [05:25] :) [05:26] nickrud, can't i just save my current session, and then copy that file to wherever the session list gets generated? [05:26] when is vmware-server-modules going to be available for the 2.6.22-14 gutsy kernel? [05:26] Evanlec, you can save sessions, but there is no load on demand, it is loaded when you login to Gnome [05:26] eric: no, ubuntu [05:26] eric: er... toshiba [05:26] astro76, right, thats fine, but i just want to be able to load the session anytime i log in, not just the next time i log in [05:26] Evanlec: I've read talk about adding that, but no one's done it yet. There's only one session file, ~/.gnome2/session [05:26] eric: didn't have this problem on 7.04 [05:26] Evanlec, in system > preferences > sessions you can save your current session, or set it to always save on log out, and it will load everytime you log in [05:26] Anyone able to help with networking? got it going but cant surf on the second box, want to do the equivalent of network wizard connection sharing on XP [05:27] or do I need a proxy server [05:27] ozzloy: hmm, I Know I had that problem on my macbook(and mac os) after a while, I think it had something to do with the power manager [05:27] astro76, yea thats not what i want tho, i want to be able to load different sessions, not just the same one [05:27] Whats the latest kernel ? [05:27] 2.6.23 [05:27] nickrud, okay then how do the Failsafe, GNOME, Xscript sessions get tehre? [05:28] have to get that... [05:28] ozzloy: Had to send it into mac to be fixed, though I don't know if toshibas have that problem [05:28] !kernel | someone2005 [05:28] someone2005: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages [05:28] Why is it that .WAV files are refusing to play in Audacious under Gutsy? I have the wav plugin installed and enabled, but it will not play them [05:28] err into apple [05:28] try audacity instead? [05:29] maybe... [05:29] eric: i don't think it's a hardware problem, as 7.04 didn't do this [05:29] aw [05:29] danny, did you get all that? [05:29] what's up with feisty's "not authenticated" samba upgrade packages? [05:29] Evanlec: those are different, you find the basic stuff setup for them in /usr/share/xsessions [05:29] is that a known issue ? [05:29] Is it too early to start playing with the kernel core?:) [05:29] nickrud, darnit! [05:30] I'm having a bit of trouble with my NFS server/client connection. The directory I want is mounted properly but I don't have any write permissions. The directory on the server is chmoded to 666. Any tips? [05:30] who was asking about saving sessions? [05:30] nickrud, i wanna be able to load a set of apps/windows/folders/websites in one step [05:30] greencookie: never too soon to try compiling a kernel [05:30] nickrud, a shell script might work then? [05:30] Odd. How can you tell what chipset you have for a wireless card? My vendors site only claims that it is a Broadcom 802.11 b/g wifi card. [05:30] greencookie, i wouldnt do kernel compiling yet until you're qutie familiar with the CLI [05:30] hey guys, i just updated my system to 7.10 and I can't seem to be able to name or rename folders. How can I fix this? [05:30] Evanlec: system > prefs > sessions, easy. [05:30] nickrud! [05:30] sidlet, lspci [05:31] my laptop will lock up, blank screen, full blast fan, only power off after holding the button, and this is all since i upgraded to 7.10 on wednesday. how do i fix this? [05:31] Evanlec: yeah, well you could probably do something with ~/.gnome2/session and ~/.config/autostart [05:31] nickrud: I'm excited. Evanlec: sounds like a good idea. hehe [05:31] sidlet: high [05:31] jangari, yea but i need to be able to load a number of different sessions, not just the same one [05:31] Evanlec: okay so when i boot to ubuntu after i fix my partition table, i should lspci, and that will theoretically tell me what chipset i have? [05:31] can't that session manager save multiple sessions? [05:31] er, rather, have that displayed in the list of hardware it pulls. [05:31] sidlet, should ya [05:31] how do I change the partitions within Ubuntu 7.10 [05:31] ? [05:31] jangari, apparently not [05:32] Evanlec: can I thump you if i ever see you? :P [05:32] hey guys, i just updated my system to 7.10 and I can't seem to be able to name or rename folders. How can I fix this? [05:32] hmm, you're right [05:32] drayveal: LiveCD. You cannot modify partitions while they are mounted, and you cannot run an OS with a mounted system partition [05:32] drayveal: what do you mean by changing partitions [05:32] drayveal: without* [05:33] hello [05:33] drayveal: you can get a gparted iso, or use the ubuntu live cd. That will allow you to "change" your partitions. [05:33] hello? anyone? [05:34] so Ubuntu does not have built in disk management? [05:34] however, read up on what your doing. I resized my ntfs partition and didnt label the new unused space and have theoretically lost it until I can resize/fix it. [05:34] sidlet, thump me? [05:34] any ideas about how I could get dual monitors to work correctly? [05:34] Evanlec: n/m buddy. Was being a jerk. [05:34] s/was/I Was [05:34] sidlet, kk [05:34] nevermind about my nfs problem, it's fine now. and I must say it's going like 100x faster than samba. [05:34] bah, sidlet, we accept pronoun dropping here [05:35] I'm trying to shrink my Back-Up partition that has a 12gig image on it... And add that amount that I shrank to my Ubuntu partition [05:35] John_5: glad that worked for ya [05:35] pardon, "accept pronoun dropping here" [05:35] how do I run the file browser in gnome as root [05:35] I want to use it to change a few things [05:35] John_5: NFS is flakey at times though. Or atleast it has been in my experience. [05:35] can anyone help? i have 1 120 gig drive with a c:, d:, and a "recovery partition" of about 5 gigs used by my pc. c: has xp and d: is empty. if i use livecd with 7.10, will i have the option to install ubuntu on d: only and still get dual boot. and if so, will i have to create a swap partition and if so will i be able to make that on my d:, all from the livecd? [05:35] drayveal: yes, it does, mkfs. but you cannot modify a partition while it's mounted, and how do you expect to run ubuntu without a mounted partition?? LiveCD [05:35] when matlab starting its starts also terminal window how can i start matlab withiout it ? [05:35] Vladimir32tl: yes [05:36] hooray for the mbr [05:36] thanks sidlet [05:36] CSharpNub: you would run gksudo nautilus , but be very cautious with it, it's good practice to use the command line to work on system files, it's harder therefore you have to think more :) [05:36] anyone familiar with ethernet bonding, I am having trouble setting it up under Ubuntu 7.10 [05:36] ok, LiveCD does nothing for me when I can boot into Vista faster than onto the Live CD [05:36] I'm trying to update Ubuntu 7.04 to 7.10 by using Update Manager --> Upgrade. It seems to start downloading stuff but it ends up with the following error, then doing nothing: "Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio/dists/feisty/Release.gpg Could not resolve 'archive.ubuntustudio.org'". How do I upgrade? [05:36] upgrade ? [05:36] nickrud, http://www.gnome.org/learn/users-guide/latest/prefs-sessions.html [05:36] drayveal: Whats your problem? The live cd takes a bit to load because its loading the entire OS from cd into ram. [05:36] drayveal: the key thing is to resize the ubuntu partition, you can't be running ubuntu on it [05:36] tnx [05:37] i just updated my system to 7.10 and I can't seem to be able to name or rename folders. Can anyone help me? [05:37] drayveal=troll [05:37] any ideas about how I could get dual monitors to work correctly? my main monitor becomes messed up when I try use both, any ideas? [05:37] manduski: check your user/group permissions. [05:37] I'm beggin' for help, people... [05:37] IcePrincessSatyr: quit begging, whats your emergency? [05:37] IcePrincessSatyr: whassup [05:37] Evanlec: very cool, but I don't see it in ubuntu [05:38] how to install wine in terminal mode [05:38] I'm totally new to linux/ubuntu and have absolutely NO idea how to get ubuntu loaded onto an older computer [05:38] Evanlec: and I mean, very cool [05:38] nickrud, me either! what he crap!@! [05:38] IcePrincessSatyr: You're in good hands. [05:38] IcePrincessSatyr: use the LiveCD:) [05:38] drayveal didn't understand the LiveCD has like 3 different disk management tools. [05:38] nickrud, is that some way they tweaked gnome on us? [05:38] sidlet: how do i go about doing that? [05:38] any ideas why the update fails on mine? [05:38] is there a possibility o creating more shortcuts? [05:38] I'm trying a different platform because I have xp on my computer at the moment, 98 on the "spare" one [05:38] IcePrincessSatyr: I'm new to linux as well, so I might be able to help you out a tad bit. :-) [05:38] hang on, Iceprincesssatyr, just boot from the ubuntu cd... [05:39] nickrud, even in sessions dialog, if u press help...it indicates that one can add new sessions and name them [05:39] IcePrincessSatyr: Doesn't matter if you have the LiveCD. [05:39] you have to change the boot order in ye olde bios [05:39] I didn't want to have to load windows onto the computer - I did a reformat, but I didn't have a choice [05:39] I don't have liveCD [05:39] I'm downloading it now...I hope [05:39] manduski: System->Administration -> users then check that vs a ls -al in your home dir. do you own everthing there as well as belong to teh user group? Also are the files/folders your attempting to rename reside in a directory you own or have group read/write permissions to? [05:39] IcePrincessSatyr: If your downloading the ISO, thats the first step to getting it installed on that PC [05:39] then you should download an iso and burn it to a cd. that'll be your livecd [05:39] IcePrincessSatyr: First get the LiveCD. Life will be easier. === eric is now known as eric|away [05:40] get the iso then burn it to a cd [05:40] remember to check the checksums [05:40] It's on a disk - I put it in my computer to make sure it was going to run and it did [05:40] then well, thats it [05:40] Got two questions . [05:40] i'm off to fix my partition tables. bbl [05:40] IcePrincessSatyr: sidlet is right. Plus you might wanna consider tab completion to make sure your conversation is directed to the right person :) (e.g start typing sid then press tab key) [05:40] sidlet, enjoy [05:40] oh, the livecd is running IcePrincessSatyr? [05:40] sidlet: gluck:) [05:40] helfrez: thnx :) [05:41] oh well, looks like i'll never get to install 7.10 [05:41] Who is the user linked with the SUDO command?

[05:44] geju, what filesystem is it formated in? [05:44] I even figured out how to get in compaq's topsecret bios to startup from the cdrom, and it was already set that way [05:44] yes, jangari [05:44] I'll do it again and write down the error msg I get [05:45] it's that way by default, the computer always checks if a cd has an os onit and will boot from that [05:45] * greencookie goes out for a smoke.

[05:47] wine is still officially alpha software, iirc [05:47] i wish there was a simple wrapper for xp programs, [05:47] jangari, depends on what you want to do with it, its stable enough to run lotus notes for me at work when needed [05:48] jangari, and windows can barely run that sometimes lol [05:48] sidlet: apparently it is not a problem with file permissions because I am able to name and rename files on Thurnar [05:48] i only wanna be able to run windows live writer, because, despite being microsoft, it's the best blog editor i've used [05:48] You do know that the download is an iso and should be burt as such, not as data? [05:48] mm, yes azimuth [05:48] jangari: is that a web app? [05:48] sidlet: would it then be a question of re-installing nautilus? Apparently others have had the same problem with Nautilus, but I haven't come across a solution yet [05:49] web app? [05:49] yes, azimuth.... copy as image to cd.... check that part of it [05:49] jangari: how bout scribefire extension for Firefox. Tried that yet? [05:49] jangari: an application that runs on a web server (and you use it from a browse) [05:49] yeah, it's crap [05:49] i've tried everything [05:49] jangari: well. I'm satisfied if I can post to my blog from the cli:) heh. [05:49] no lockd, offline application [05:49] jangari, yikes i dont see that happening, i think thats tied to windows live messenger, have to have all the other parts for it [05:50] * yesha needs help enabling remote desktop settings... how do I do this all via ssh? Sharing -> [05:50] Allow other users to view your desktop (Checked) [05:50] Allow other users to control your desktop (Checked) [05:50] yes, i know, feckin windows [05:50] I'm able to run from the disk.... BUT..... I can't get it to autorun when I put the disk in, so went in, tried the "open cd", got the error message "The k-melon.exe file is linked to missing export MFC42.dll:6860" [05:50] it's a sonofabitch to get [05:50] but it's worthwhile [05:50] jangari: there are tons of blog editors out there [05:50] until someone comes up with something evenhalf as good that's opensource [05:50] I then tried the wubi-cdboot, got an error file of "could not receive some essential files" [05:50] jangari, im really doubting that will happen, if you have a nice enough machine use virtualbox and setup a xp virtual machine [05:51] no, helfrez, not enough memory, i'm just giving up [05:51] jangari, there are a boatload of blogging tools, im surprised NONE of them fit your needs [05:51] only like three available fromthe universe repository [05:51] Allow other users to control your desktop (Checked) [05:51] nickrud, is there a bug on launchpad or something?

[05:52] scribefire is buggy on linux [05:52] well, it appears i'll have to [05:52] hmmm [05:52] jangari: really? I use it to post to my blogger account all the time.. [05:52] Evanlec: haven't looked there yet, I've been reading thru the changelog, haven't seen anything yet [05:52] * yesha needs to know how to change remote desktop sharing/security settings via ssh? [05:52] jangari: for one app seems kind of silly to give up [05:52] if only open office had a publish to blog function that didn't cost ten bucks and was useless anyway [05:52] * greencookie wonders if yesha is an asian name. [05:52] jangari, tried all these? http://www.gnomefiles.org/search.php?search=blog [05:52] nickrud, did u look in the sessions perferences help? it specifically mentions being able to save sessions [05:53] jangari: We're all well aware of the failures of open source. That's why we're all such big advocates of Windows and try to get people to stop using Ubuntu. There's no need to preach to the quite. [05:53] maybe it's a blog service issue, greencookie, i'mon wp.com [05:53] Choir* [05:53] i ain't preaching, [05:53] What is the reason that there is no wrudf manual page? [05:53] ease of use isn't really the point in most open source projects, though [05:53] ArthurArchnix: lol:) [05:53] i'mjust saying it's a shame there aren't better blog editors out there [05:54] jangari: If there's a specific problem that can be addressed please ask. If you just have general complaints I'm afraid there's nothing we can do. [05:54] right, lockd [05:54] My Ubuntu is creating a folder named "file:" all the time in my home folder....

[05:54] i guess there arent that many bloggers for ubuntu compared to windows/mac osx.... [05:54] * greencookie remembers that beggars and losers cannot be choosers.

[05:55] yesha: you still looking for the remote desktop stuff [05:55] Evanlec: ah, makes sense [05:55] My Ubuntu is creating a folder named "file:" all the time in my home folder.... I delete and after a while it appears again... what is this?? [05:55] okay i gotta go, meeting a mate for a beer [05:55] someone2005: your $PATH is the list of directories bash searches executables for [05:55] nickrud, that really annoys me tho!, would be so useful! [05:55] adios folks, be good [05:56] how come sshd doesnt have a incremental delay features ? [05:56] jangari: have a good one. [05:56] someone2005: so, that would be /bin, /usr/bin, and /usr/local/bin by default [05:56] Evanlec: yes, it would. That, and a nice gui interface to devilspie. The one thing I really miss from sawfish [05:56] someone2005: 'bin' meaning 'binaries' [05:56] Yea , I'm going to have to compile these nvid's ? [05:57] IanLiu: I don't know. My Ubuntu 7.10 does notcreate such a folder. [05:57] nickrud, yea....argh, well i spose i could write a bash script that opened the apps i wanted, but how to pass them the state they should be in and their position...? [05:57] Evanlec: devilspie [05:57] i never understood that app [05:58] who's really good with bash? [05:58] Evanlec: like I said, a nice interface [05:58] I need to change some settings via ssh [05:58] lol [05:58] there's no gui for it? [05:58] does anyone know anything about 8.04? [05:58] yesha: you still need those commands for the remote desktop?

[06:05] Vladimir32tl: :P [06:05] ArthurArchnix: I've tried reinstalling it and disabling/re-enabling the plugin to no avail [06:05] might keep it work :) [06:05] any help would be much appreciated [06:05] s/work/worm [06:05] peeps [06:05] what is up toinight [06:05] Vladimir32tl: (yes, I have 823475692872 other windowmanagers here too) [06:06] crazy channel keeps booting me and I set the port the way it said [06:06] xivanari: oh, I'm having a couple of issues that I've been trying tor resolve for a couple days (not running ubuntu tho) [06:06] ozzloy: have you run a mem test, that's often the reason (was my problem, anyway) [06:06] jumbers: I see other people are having a similar problem. I'll keep looking into it. In the meantime this link suggests that switching to OSS might solve the problem. http://boards.nenolod.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&p=2792 [06:06] anyone here know how to fix a zoom problem with the zoom on a logitech fusion webcam? [06:06] nickrud: i have not, i'll try that [06:06] nickrud i still can't login :( [06:06] not me [06:06] dav7: that sucks. why are you in the ubuntu channel if you arent running ubuntu? O.o [06:07] ArthurArchnix: Won't OSS cause issues with sharing the audio device though? [06:07] nickrud: I can ssh, and can ping through my hamachi tunnel [06:07] xivanari: because #archlinux and ##linux can't help me :P [06:07] but i get an immediate can not connect when I try to vnc [06:07] nickrud: is this something i'll have to do on livecd? [06:07] jumbers: Yes, it probably will. But it may help us narrow down the problem further, and it should be reversible. So it is worth doing just as a test if you like. [06:07] and does anyone know how to fix the kalarm problem where it wont make any sound [06:07] yesha: I ran that stuff on my machine before I posted it, it toggles the settings you asked for, I'm not real familar with how it actually works [06:07] 've managed to set up my mouse well enough to get the expected button mappings in xev, but when I use the tilt wheel (button 6/7) the cursor is relocated to upper left corner of the screen. Any idea why this may happen or where to begin looking? The tilt wheel buttons actually do what I tell them to in firefox, but the teleporting cursor is pissin me off [06:07] ArthurArchnix: I just changed it to OSS and it still will not play [06:08] jumbers: ok. Thanks for that info. I'm still looking into it. [06:08] lol "teleporting cursor" [06:08] anybody know how to set up esd to be accessible via the network? i have 7 machines on my hub, 6 of which are ubuntu machines, and one of them has a 5.` surround system. i would like to share it among all of them [06:08] ArthurArchnix: Okay, thank you [06:08] yesha: like what has to be running on the other machine [06:08] surround sound sounds like fun... [06:08] agreed [06:08] it is [06:08] headphones are also cool too :P [06:08] Cooooool [06:08] man i got duke ellington/john coltrane playing right now and it sounds sweet [06:08] jumbers: Did you also change your audio settings in addition to your audacious settings? Your audio is probably set to default, but what if it were set to OSS? [06:09] * dav7 remembers the "next track" button [06:09] * dav7 jabs a couple of time [06:09] s [06:09] repeat can be like that :P [06:10] ArthurArchnix: I just changed my system audio to OSS and it still won't work [06:10] jumbers: When your done that, switch it back to the original state. Whether it works or not. [06:10] lol [06:10] jumbers: Ok, see above. [06:10] can gparted live format hfs+? [06:10] I think you need to install vncserver on the other machine [06:11] Does *nix even have HFS+ support? [06:11] no [06:11] i didnt think so [06:11] ArthurArchnix: Okay, I'm back to my original settings. Could it be an issue with the WAV plugin? [06:11] how do i manually kill a vnc process? [06:11] ps -aux and then kill -9 the pid [06:11] can't I connect to two separate irc servers from one irssi shell instead of doing screen irssi twice? [06:12] jumbers: I don't think so... I'm only 20% sure of that though. You say you can't play it, are you opening the file from within audacious, or just clicking on it through thunar? [06:12] nickrud: but this is ever since upgrading to 7.10, i think it might have something to do with that, not hardware [06:12] greencookie: Sure you can [06:12] hmm [06:12] hey! irc.ubuntu.com and irc.freenode.net are the same! lollol [06:13] amidaniel: how would I do that? [06:13] ozzloy: it could, yes. I had that happen to me on the pre-releases, but not the final. [06:13] * amidaniel waves farewell to greencookie [06:13] sorry got dc. [06:14] nickrud: T_T i waited for a bit before upgrading to avoid stuff like this [06:14] ArthurArchnix: I've tried both. When I try to click on the file, I receive an "Open File" window despite the file being set to open with Audacious. If I try to add it directly to Audacious by dragging it into the playlist, it won't add it [06:15] ArthurArchnix: Wait a second, if I go to Audacious and click Add, and then add the file that way, it will add to the playlist and is able to be played [06:15] greencookie: /win new /connect yourserver.com [06:15] ozzloy: but, congruence is not causation, run the memory test anyway :) [06:15] Is likely the easiest way [06:15] when i start a vnc server what does this mean? xauth: error in locking authority file /home/tokapie/.Xauthority [06:15] nickrud: yeah, i shall [06:16] can MS Visio files(.vsd) files be opened/viewed in Linux... google din help much :( [06:16] yesha: do you have a local GUI login? [06:16] no - I'm trying to vnc over hamachi [06:16] and am ssh'd [06:16] to this box [06:16] yesha: hrm [06:16] vnc doesn't authenticate [06:16] jumbers: Ok. I'd read about someone else having that same issue. Very odd. Seems like a bug to me. [06:16] Anyone have any experience with Toshiba laptops (Sattelite line) and Ubuntu? [06:16] it's a real pain in the ars [06:16] Am looking through the forums now though. [06:16] yesha: X uses a crypto token system to allow access to the server sessions [06:16] There are devices on the laptop that I can't find rivers for. [06:17] nobody know a good mail bomber for linux? [06:17] amidaniel: lifesaver:) thanks bud [06:17] The touch pad and the SDCard reader don't work on Ubuntu [06:17] yesha: If you're familiar with the old xhost command, it's a more secure version of that [06:17] greencookie: np [06:17] SuperQ, not fam [06:17] amidaniel: can you also point me out to some really busy irc server:) [06:17] can I pm you? [06:17] yesha: for some reason, Xvnc isn't able to grab a lock on that file.. not sure why tho [06:17] hehe [06:18] yesha: Dunno if I can help you right now. [06:18] ok [06:18] np [06:18] thanks [06:18] yesha: I have important things to do, like Team Fortress ;) [06:18] greencookie: Busy as in with lots of chatter and people or busy in general? (e.g., browne.wikimedia.org is really busy but all the chatter is by one bot :D) [06:18] SuperQ!!!! [06:18] jumbers, hi [06:18] soldier? [06:18] Anyone have any experience with Toshiba laptops (Satellite line) and Ubuntu? [06:18] sniper? [06:18] MEDIC! [06:18] nenolod: Hi? [06:18] lol [06:19] can Visio files be opened in Linux [06:19] when will tf2 ever come out! [06:19] ? [06:19] jumbers, there's some bugs in the ALSA plugin in Audacious [06:19] oh wait, did it? [06:19] lol [06:19] jumbers, just use OSS plugin for now [06:19] 've managed to set up my mouse well enough to get the expected button mappings in xev, but when I use the tilt wheel (button 6/7) the cursor is relocated to upper left corner of the screen.

The tilt wheel buttons actually do what I tell them to in firefox, but the teleporting cursor is pissin me off [06:19] nenolod: That doesn't work [06:19] !visio [06:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about visio - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:19] aww I can't play mp3's and stuff. How can I download the codecs or whatever? [06:19] jumbers, whath appens?

[06:20] nickrud: you familiar with laptops and ubuntu? [06:20] jumbers: I can't find a bug report on this issue. [06:20] Don64.. din help much :(.. neither did googling do any good [06:20] sidlet: I've run it on exactly one, and only moderately successfully, no suspend [06:20] sidlet: thats what I got :) but im not at all familiar hehe:) [06:21] Anyone have any experience with Toshiba laptops (Satellite line) and Ubuntu? [06:21] rather, What is the command to pass a VGA argument to boot the kernel? [06:21] Hi all. Please help in choosing the right graphics card. [06:21] 8400 m working great here [06:21] i got the livecd to come up with gfx by passing a VGA line, normal grub has no such option [06:21] ArthurArchnix: So is this an isolated incident then? [06:21] ArthurArchnix, well I wrote audacious, so i'd be easier to just fix it now [06:22] sidlet: I would add VGA=xxx to menu.lst, except I run ati and framebuffers screw up ati [06:22] jumbers, i wrote audacious... so, this is as good as it gets as far as figuring your problem out :p [06:22] Opiat3: Helped my friend with graphics and network on it few months ago.. [06:22] pipelinexpc, i have 2 choices AMD 2600XT or nvidia 8600GT [06:22] which one among them is good ? [06:22] nenolod: You want me to run file on a wav file? [06:22] so its VGA=1024x768 is a proper line, correct? [06:22] sidlet: like vga=xxx ? [06:22] those are both good cards [06:22] Well, the laptop uses all these devices (SD Card reader and TouchPad customization) and I fail to find the drivers for them [06:22] the 8600 is probably more likely to work with ubuntu though [06:22] jumbers, on one that it is not playing, yes. [06:23] sidlet: no, VGA=791 , I'll pull up a link of numbers [06:23] And it's annoying to have to switch over to WnXP to use them [06:23] nenolod: It's all of them, but here's just one [06:23] nenolod: goodbye.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 8 bit, mono 22050 Hz [06:23] I was wondering if anyone had any sort of information on them. [06:23] nickrud: thanks [06:23] pipelinexpc, Thanks for the info. Whether compiz fusion is working correctly for you ? [06:23] I didnt try yet [06:23] Have any of you worked ubuntu on this card before: ATI radeon X1300? [06:23] jumbers, audacious only plays 16 bit WAVs [06:23] pipelinexpc, thanks [06:23] my osx86 install keeps wiping my ubuntu :( [06:23] sidlet: http://wiki.antlinux.com/pmwiki.php?n=HowTos.VgaModes [06:23] nenolod: I can play it if I deliberately add it from the Audacious Add menu, but not by drag and drop nor by double clicking it [06:23] pipelinexpc, piracy is cool [06:23] opia3:never had problem with those, did you try manually modifying xorg.conf to use more generic values [06:24] pipelinexpc: whats osx86? another operating system? [06:24] monopolies are cooler [06:24] pipelinexpc, leopard or tiger ? [06:24] jumbers, oh. you have the sndfile wav plugin then. [06:24] tiger [06:24] http://www.bobpeers.com/linux/mount.php found a list [06:24] nenolod: Yes [06:24] jumbers, sndfile does not like URIs at all. i hate that damn plugin. [06:24] pipelinexpc: for your own safety, do not mention how or where you downloaded it from. [06:24] nenolod: So what am I supposed to do? Because it's a pain to have to go and add a wav through that menu just to be able to play like a 4 second clip [06:25] Is there a way i cna configure irssi's openurl script to open links in elinks instead of w3d on a new screen shell? [06:25] pipelinexpc, I had tried it once. Worked like charm. But removed it for Ubuntu :) [06:25] I wont even mention whether or not I downloaded it [06:25] * nickrud always hated programming for users [06:25] pipelinexpc: installed it. found the website, whatever. you know :) [06:25] How can i get my microphone to work in Ubuntu? I don't think my audio driver is totally set up [06:25] pipelinexpc, bye and best of luck [06:25] nenolod: Haven't i been seeing your name on the audacious forums I'm browsing? [06:25] hola [06:25] yeh i cant get a mic to work either [06:25] ArthurArchnix, i wrote audacious. [06:26] might be more like, bought it, but found a patch, but you never know [06:26] ArthurArchnix, :P [06:26] nenolod: LOL [06:26] I like being a pain in the ass and not violating the spirit of laws even if I might be on the wrong side of the letter [06:26] jumbers: Today is your lucky day :) [06:26] you wrote audacious? aw. you are my hero, nenolod. for the next three minutes, at least. [06:26] ArthurArchnix: I'm seeing that :) [06:27] I try logout, but it says there are stopped jobs [06:27] what's that mean, and what can I do about it? [06:27] strange [06:27] zomg thats my fave music prog evaaaaa!!! [06:27] nenolod: Is there any way to work around this issue? [06:27] i go to boot with the vga= line and it just reboots the lappy [06:27] jumbers, convert them to FLAC or something [06:28] provided you are using 1.4, the FLAC plugin is sane ;p [06:28] nenolod: Will there be any native 8-bit support in the future? [06:28] i always liked audacious but it seems to consume several times more memory than XMMS does. it wouldn't matter since I upgraded to 2 Gigs, but whatever. [06:28] mult-core? [06:28] how do i use ps aux to search for a vnc process? [06:28] jumbers, there is some 8 bit support, but it's not very tested. [06:28] DerangedDingo, it stores a lot of metadata about your tracks [06:28] nenolod: Well, I just disabled sndfile and it won't open a 16 bit file wav either [06:28] DerangedDingo, XMMS does not [06:28] lol [06:28] :P [06:29] xmms is lovely, save for the fact nobody's touched it since whoknowswhen [06:29] jumbers, yes. you either get the sndfile plugin or the native wav plugin. [06:29] how do i use ps aux to search for a vnc process? [06:29] riotkittie, 1.2.11 released yesterday. [06:29] Wav is so blah... we need 64 bit wavs. :D [06:29] cpzzz?gay [06:29] Hey everyone [06:29] nenolod: :o [06:29] they have 64 bit waves [06:29] riotkittie, it is the final version of XMMS. there will be no more. [06:29] Dammit. [06:29] You just ruined my amusement. [06:29] nenolod: Sorry, I was browsing your help forums and missed your polite dismissal. I humbly yield the floor :P [06:29] riotkittie, before that release notice, they posted a news post about alternatives. [06:29] Hi all. I have a sound card that Ubuntu is not compatible, but I also have a sound card which is built in to my motherboard that Ubuntu does work with. By default, my PCI sound card is selected, and Ubuntu will not produce sound; is there any way I can disable this sound card and have Ubuntu use my built in motherboard sound card instead? [06:29] reaper writes them...I think audacity will read them [06:30] nenolod: What I'm trying to say is, even with the native plugin, 16 bit wavs are not working [06:30] riotkittie, including audacious :P === imathew is now known as ANTDx1 [06:30] jumbers, you don't have the native plugin [06:30] jumbers, the debian package only ships the sndfile plugin. [06:30] lol. i always used to get Audacity and Audacious confused too :P [06:30] I have a problem I continously get "None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed" when I try to edit my xorg.conf [06:30] nenolod: Oh, is the native plugin available on the audacious forums? [06:31] jumbers, just install audacious-dev and build audacious-plugins (but don't install it) [06:31] can I do a dual boot of two flavors of linux? [06:31] pipelinexpc: yes [06:31] jumbers, make sure you build the version of audacious-plugins you already have (in gutsy, this is 1.3.5) [06:31] pipelinexpc: yes [06:31] the jacklab guys will kick the crap out of my if I dont have JAD on my PC [06:31] but ubuntu RULES [06:31] ok [06:31] do both need to be primary partitions? [06:32] and do both need their own swap partition? === user__ is now known as genii [06:32] nenolod: The latest version of audacious-dev is 1.3.2-4 [06:32] also how can I disable my pc speaker in linux altogether [06:32] pipelinexpc: If you're installing a new OS on your system you should be aware that data loss and corruption is a possible (though unlikely) outcome. [06:32] jumbers, install audacious-dev, download http://distfiles.atheme.org/audacious-plugins-1.3.5.tgz [06:32] Im wiping the disk [06:32] quit [06:32] anyone know how to update firmware in a dvd drive? [06:32] pipelinexpc: no. linux can exist happily in non primary partitions. as for swap, i have 5 or 6 distros sharing /swap and dont have issues. if you hibernate or suspend... might not be the best idea [06:32] jumbers, ./configure; cd src/wav; sudo make install [06:32] pipelinexpc: ok, jsut mentioned it in case you were attempting to work on a 'work' computer or some such. [06:33] ok I need to do xp/vista/ubuntu/JAD [06:33] does anyone know what would be the easiest way to set up an IVR system ? [06:33] pipelinexpc, really, piracy (e.g. using OSX86) is lame [06:33] ;p [06:33] so it wont hurt to make two swap partitions right? [06:33] osing osx at all is lame [06:33] I have a problem I continously get "None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed" when I try to edit my xorg.conf [06:33] * genii sips apple juice [06:33] pipelinexpc: Ok, I don't know what jad is but you want to install xp then vista, then ubuntu [06:33] pipelinexpc, i don't disagree [06:33] I bought the damn disk so Im no pirate, but I do understand the legal issues of patching it [06:33] what package again do I need to be able to play vcd in kaffeine? [06:34] * riotkittie replaces genii's apple juice with coffee and runs away [06:34] anyone familiar with YATE? [06:34] * irreducibilis replaces riotkittie's coffee supply with green tea [06:34] I wanted to be able to offer osx support for our mac users but hell with it, that os is a PITA, Im more worried about our growing linux population [06:35] is there an aac plus codec for ubuntu? [06:35] pipelinexpc: Have you considered just installing one OS (say Ubuntu) and then installing the others under a VM? [06:35] is there any way I can figure out what process is stopped? [06:35] riotkittie: LOL 1:30 am here if I get on caffeine I'll not make it to work tomorrow [06:35] yeah [06:35] nenolod: Okay, I just did all of that [06:35] !codecs [06:35] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [06:35] but really, I can get linux running fine with windows so its no biggie [06:35] Passing any vga= lines to grub is causing my laptop to just reboot when i hit b to boot with the altered lines. Any ideas? [06:35] I like having grub too [06:35] for codecs check use synaptic and search for gstreamer, there are quite a few [06:35] jumbers, you should have the native wav plugin now too, then. [06:35] jumbers, oh wait. no. [06:36] jumbers, you need to copy libwav.so to ~/.local/share/audacious/Plugins [06:36] (make the directory if it doesn't exist already) [06:36] if windows had grub Id have more hair on my head [06:36] nenolod: do you manage the website? [06:36] sidlet: nope, I just ran across something about vga on ati, tried it, didn't work either ;( [06:36] DerangedDingo, yes [06:36] Why would my authentication be rejected ??? [06:36] I have a problem I continously get "None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed" when I try to edit my xorg.conf [06:36] anyone used asterisk? [06:36] j4s383: Are you sure you are authentic enough? [06:36] DerangedDingo, a newer version (WIP) of website is at http://www-new.audacious-media-player.org [06:36] pipelinexpc: Ok, if you have real install discs (not just lame factory OS discs) its easy using a gparted live cd to partition your disc, then install each to their correct partition. Install Ubuntu last and grub will take care of the rest (assuming you put it on the MBR and you have one large HD). [06:36] * riotkittie hugs her ati, which works with vga. thankfully. [06:37] How do I disable that dmaned pc speaker too :( [06:37] nickrud: what a bummer.. When i boot with the normal lines, it dumps me into gdm right? I loose all alt-Fx capability. I cant even get to a tty. I'm stuck staring at a "melting" lcd. [06:37] how can i get my microphone to work in ubuntu? [06:37] install JAD before ubuntu? [06:37] j4s383: that's a none issue error, try gksudo gedit , that will suppress the text [06:37] pipelinexpc: I'm sorry, I don't know what JAD is. [06:37] * greencookie is jealous of riotkittie's ati card since he cant get his to work the way it should. [06:37] riotkittie: what kard, and screen size, pretty please === iblicf is now known as IBLICF [06:37] nenolod: Oh my... I love you. It works perfectly. Thank you very much and thanks for writing Audacity [06:37] ok thank you but why does my xorg.conf come up blank?? [06:37] JAD is a SUSE version of linux made by the jacklab guys [06:37]  I have a MacBook with Ubuntu and when I extend my desktop to two monitors Compiz no longer works. Is there anyway to fix that? [06:37] well dont feel bad greencookie :P I've got an Nvidia 600 go card and its not working like it should either. === IBLICF is now known as iblicf [06:38] is it supposed to be in "/etc/x11/xorg.conf" ? [06:38] nenolod: okay.. i was at the old one and i noticed some of the text hadn't been updated in a while. for example, in one place it mentioned how Feisty hadn't been released yet. the new website looks nice, btw [06:38] this video stuff over the last year is almost enough to make me pull out the voodoo3 [06:38] for ATI cards, try Envy, but be sure to uninstall same drivers using Envy before next distro upgrade to avoid problems with file system forks [06:38] its supposed to run pro audio stuff better out of the box than ubuntu, but my ubuntu nut friend says with the RT kernel ubuntu will be better PLUS have the advantages of synaptic [06:38] DerangedDingo, it's mediawiki. feel free to sign up for an account and edit what's outdated. [06:38] j4s383: uppercase X there on X11 [06:38] AH [06:38] heh my bad! [06:38] thank you :) [06:38] np [06:39] nenolod: neat. i coulda swore it looked like a wiki, too [06:39] how about the pc speaker? any idea how to kill that? its driving me nuts [06:39] pipelinexpc: Thanks. Yeah, install ubuntu last. [06:39] Thank you for helping us help you help us all. [06:39] nickrud: tis a terribly terrible x300se [but it does what i need it to, which is, admitedly, practically nothing]. 17"/1280x1024 [06:39] timothywcrane: I can get ati working just fine, it's its interactions with the console that sucks [06:39] Can anyone help me with a connection sharing problem? (This computer shares a connection with an XP box) [06:40] brb [06:40] I am just wondering if anyone would be kind enough to help me with a Gutsy boot up problem [06:40] ok so Im firing up gparted, gonna do 2 NTFS partitions, not sure what to do for the two linuxes [06:40] riotkittie: i've a 200m, you have better hardware [06:40] nickrud: it's so rare i hear anybody say that ;) [06:40] I could make a primary for JAD [06:40] pipelinexpc: wait [06:41] ubuntu doesnt care if its primary or not [06:41] j4s383: http://snippets.aktagon.com/snippets/10-Disable-pc-speaker-beep-in-Linux use sudo with the command given [06:41] riotkittie: been pricing a new machine, need something for gaming, this laptop is just fine for work but... [06:41] pipelinexpc: No I know... I've got a lot of experience using gparted. How big is your hard-drive, what are your usage plans, and such? [06:41] genii:thank you! :D [06:41] np [06:42] does ubuntu's effects have a opaque setting? [06:42] I think I messed up. I accidentally did chmod -R 775 * in /etc and now a few things don't work anymore like they should. I fixed sudo and gksudo, but when I close my laptop it doesn't lock anymore and when I hit the power button I don't get the shutdown dialog [06:42] Im mostly going to be running xp, before when it was xp/vista ubuntu, I did 60 for the xp, 30 for the vista, 30 for ubuntu and 30 ntfs for sharing between os's [06:42] neur1: sure does, in several places , have fun balancing them [06:42] neur1: compiz-fusion? yea. if you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed, look under General Options [06:43] its 140 or so gig drive [06:43] o.k. thanks === sriyanto is now known as verano [06:43] Im thinking of 60 xp/ 25 vista/25 JAD/25 ubuntu and whatever left for the ntfs [06:44] can linux read ntfs now? [06:44] linux has been able to read ntfs for ... years. [06:44] pipelinexpc: that seems pretty small for vista, I'm running 40 and am bumping my elbows constantly [06:44] its only for testing, I wont be using it really [06:44] you can write to it as well, with the proper driver [06:44] genii, I"m trying to follow the steps on that site but it won't let me do it :( [06:44] the test files can be read off the xp drive [06:45] Depends on what time zone you are on. On neptune, its probably still unable to read NTFS. [06:45] "Error: no write permission for file "/etc/modprob.d/blacklist"" [06:45] pipelinexpc: pipelinexpc my advice is to make your shared ntfs drive as large as possible. [06:45] My vista install is about 8GB [06:45] pipelinexpc: linux requires even less than XP [06:46] 20 gigs a piece for them then? [06:46] j4s383: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist then add the line. exit by ctrl-x and save [06:46] 20 for ubuntu 20 for suse? [06:46] genii:thank you again! sorry for being a big n00b [06:46] How do I find out what display driver I am running/ [06:46] nobody is playing counter strike with linux? [06:46] pipelinexpc: E.g. 20XP, 30 Vista, 14.5, Linux, 14.5 linux, 1 GB swap, REST DATA [06:46] j4s383: We were all noobs once :) [06:47] can someone look at this? I'm trying to start a vncserver xauth: error in locking authority file /home/tokapie/.Xauthority [06:47] How do I determine which display driver I am running? [06:47] what does that mean? [06:47] anyone know how to solve a boot up infinite loop problem in recovery mode? [06:47] ext3 for the linux partitions? [06:47] thanks everyone! have a great night! [06:47] yesha: use sudo/gksudu/gksudo etc [06:47] *gksu [06:48] pipelinexpc: And remember, gparted live only let's you have 4 partitions, so you'll need to make xp, vista and ubuntu on the primary paritions, and an extended partition for the rest. [06:48] bleh I'm feeling the caffeine shortage ;) [06:48] pipelinexpc: Also, I'd put the swap and the files in the middle of the partition. [06:48] ok [06:49] pipelinexpc: Probably doesn't make a difference, but for read / write averages I put those in the center. [06:49] can i have JAD on a primary but have its linux swap on a extended? [06:49] pipelinexpc: Yes, my current swap is on an extended. [06:49] hmm, how good does americas army run on gutsy/w a radeon card? [06:49] could somebody see if my lamp server is working on their end? [06:49] so I have xp/vista and JAD on the three primary partitions [06:50] then in the extended I have jad swap, ubuntu swap, ubuntu and share? [06:50] jack is overrated tbh [06:50] pipelinexpc: Just one swap. [06:50] ok [06:50] pipelinexpc: Jad and ubunt can share it since they're not both running at the same time. [06:50] quantum-flux: Probably not too good. America's army is rather large to run on just one computer. [06:51] anyone know how to update firmware in a dvd drive? [06:51] Is there anyway to boot up without loading some hardware drivers in recovery mode? [06:51] ext 3 for the linux partitions? [06:51] quantum-flux: I can't even get tux racer to run on my radeon.:) [06:51] is there any way to stop my screen from momentarily going black every time the Totem Movie Player opens? [06:51] oh tux racer [06:51] I knew my new box was missing something [06:52] what format do I want for linux? [06:52] I dont know the difference between reiser, ext2 and ext3 [06:52] pipelinexpc: I personally prefer ext3 for boot [06:52] I'd say yes... since you can tweak them for performance. THough, if you're keeping data and temp files on your ntfs you can actually format them to ext2 and reap some performance gains. But in this case, you'd have to change the temp files of your two LInux OS to use folders on the ntfs. Easier is to use ext3 and tweak a bit. [06:52] er ext2 [06:52] and resier for the rest [06:52] reiserfs is really fast for files under 4kb [06:52] I think I messed up. I accidentally did chmod -R 775 * in /etc and now a few things don't work anymore like they should. I fixed sudo and gksudo, but when I close my laptop it doesn't lock anymore and when I hit the power button I don't get the shutdown dialog [06:52] kelvie: He's an image editor. [06:52] ext2/3 are reliable.. the latter is journalled (read wikipedia if you want to learn about journalled FS's) [06:53] ahh [06:53] xfs then? :P [06:53] is there any dvd drive help in ubuntu servers? [06:53] pipelinexpc: Go with ext3 and then google some tweaks like noatime, nodev and different writeback settings. [06:53] ok [06:54] ArthurArchnix, can you please help me out? [06:54] :) === u^C is now known as allbert [06:55] can someone help me with an openoffice problem? [06:55] This is frustrating as all get out [06:55] ok here comes the xp install [06:55] pipelinexpc: ahh... my old friend xp. Enjoy! [06:55] I know how you guys love to hear that :) [06:56] pipelinexpc: I'm a big Vista user. === pooya is now known as pooyak [06:56] what will be fun is tormenting hardware companies who dont have linux drivers yet...cant wait for monday :) [06:56] pipelinexpc: Good luck with that. ;P [06:57] sometimes they listen [06:57] NOONE wants to pay the "affordable price" for a WCHQL windows sign [06:57] is there any way to stop my screen from momentarily going black every time the Totem Movie Player opens? [06:57] * ArthurArchnix ducks as WCHQL goes flying past his head. [06:57] I'm getting a constant error in console " bcm43xx: Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" not available or load failed. <- whats that mean? [06:58] the "this driver is not certified by MS, install anyway?" [06:58] !bcm43xx-fwcutter [06:58] it means broadcom is terrible [06:58] !info bcm43xx-fwcutter [06:58] bcm43xx-fwcutter: Utility for extracting Broadcom 43xx firmware.

Version 1:006-3 (gutsy), package size 25 kB, installed size 116 kB [06:58] uh,my open office impress stoped working can someone please help me solve the problem [06:58] Hey; I'm trying to configure my keys to this new wireless mouse I just installed; any suggestions on how to do this? [06:58] me again the mouse buttons, can I assign the functions? [06:58] ah. so it has to do with my wifi [06:58] yea [06:59] well i'm just loaded with problems :P [06:59] hey, I've got another question [06:59] j [06:59] I don't get any audio out of my speakers :( might it be because I have alsa and gnome alsa installed? I have an audigy 2 zs [06:59] weird, wheres ubotu [06:59] ah nvm [07:00] http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=938&topic=39588091 - here is what happened to my impress, i dont know how to fix it [07:00] i installed lotus symphony, and then removed it...but my openoffice files still use the lotus icons, no matter what theme i use..how can i change the lotus icons back to the regular open office icons? [07:01] Any ideas on configuring my mouse? What program to use specifically? [07:01] It's a wireless USB. [07:01] I gotta figure out how to turn off #&$%*^%(^&*) tap to click in ubuntu [07:01] when I open gnome alsa mixer it doesn't recognize my audigy 2 soundcard only some sigma thing, why would that be? [07:02] I've got the sound problem fixed :$ [07:02] which ALSA driver version is this j4s383 ? [07:02] ndiswrapper screw up my Gutsy [07:02] pipelinexpc: What does that mean... tap to click? [07:02] can anyone help? [07:02] you mean like a touchpad? [07:02] with laptops some pads have a thing where tapping on a pad can act like a left click [07:02] I'm using gnome mixer 0.97 [07:02] I can figure out how to do most of them - but the keys for left and right mouse steer [you can tap the mouse scroll wheel left and right] isn't showing up in xev. [07:02] j4s383: See if: lsmod|grep emu10k1 reports anything [07:02] I am just in the process of compiling alsa-driver-1.0.15 [07:03] in an unfriendly config system like linux that means you can accidentally uninstall features that you cant get back without the net or the disc [07:03] does compiz still not work in the newest fglrx? [07:03] yeahtouchpad [07:03] mogra: exactly :/ [07:03] genii:what am I looking for here? [07:03] like when you try to move your mouse and it clicks on something and opens it? [07:03] pipelinexpc: >system >preferences >touchpad uncheck tap to click [07:03] i have the same problem [07:03] genii: pity :( [07:03] sweet [07:03] pipelinexpc: CORRECTION: [07:04] j4s383: If: lsmod|grep emu10k1 in a terminal produces a line which shows this driver is loaded [07:04] or just back to command prompt [07:04] genii: spare me 110$ for the nvidia replacement for this laptop? xD [07:04] genii:it shows a bunch of stuff for me [07:04] any risk in turning off the system beep? [07:04] pipelinexpc: >system >preferences >mouse >touchpad then "tap to click" uncheck, [07:04] that sucks! I'm trying to configure flgrx for my radeon x1300 so I can use compiz. [07:04] which is better to use anyway Alsa mixer or the gnome alsa mixer? [07:04] j4s383: Ok, good. The correct driver is loaded at least [07:05] Can anyone please help? [07:05] the normal alsa mixer sees my audigy [07:05] Is getting gutsy proposed updates risky or worthwhile? [07:05] devilhan: whats the problem? [07:05] having problem booting even in recovery mode [07:06] any risk in turning off the system beep? [07:06] MilitantPotato: worthwhile [07:06] geju: none that I know off:) [07:06] geju; You won't hear the lovely POST code. [07:06] after I added 2 lines to modprobe.d/alsa-base to use ndiswrapper [07:06] geju; Telling you that your computer is a-ok. [07:06] geju; Not like it actually helps though ;-) [07:06] Gutsy just throws me into infinite loop even booting up in recovery mode [07:07] genii: what's the advantage? [07:07] @devilhan: Does it say anything? [07:07] yes, screens after screens of message [07:07] devilhan: Can you link to the instructions you were following, and explain why you were trying to do that? I ask because ndiswrapper is for wireless, but alsa is for sound. I'm confused. [07:08] all say the same thing " bug scheduleing while atomic, .................. [07:08] MilitantPotato: you get the latest patches before they migrate into main/universe/muliverse [07:08] devilhan: have you tried removing/commenting out those two lines of code u addedd? [07:08] Has anyone tried mounting samba shares with Gutsy? [07:08] how do you set --geometry for gnome-terminal? (whats the format?) [07:08] If so, do you need to include the domain name as part of the username? [07:09] Like in windows, the username is really domain [07:09] errr domain\user [07:09] genii: so they're not beta or untested correct? [07:09] greencookie [07:09] that is exactly what I want to do [07:09] but I can't even boot into a command line [07:09] Cpudan80: perhaps just try in nautilus smb://ipaddress/ [07:09] aye way, help. Set up a Gutsy to gutsy network. Machine to machine ping succesful. No internet share [07:09] Question, I am using k9copy to backup DVD's at the moment in 7.10... I backup to ISO format so if the original is scratched I can just burn a new copy. Is there an application that can play these ISO files as if they were an actual DVD? [07:10] VLC [07:10] MilitantPotato: Well, some are. But your apt preferences is normally set not to install the unstable/testing branches anyways [07:10] TY MilitantPotato [07:10] and I believe kaffeen [07:10] np [07:10] so they are excluded anyways [07:10] ah ok :) [07:10] I did these: 1. blacklist ipw2200 (the wireless driver) [07:10] is there any reason "to" run fglrx? [07:11] need help with internet sharing [07:11] mogra: for 3D accelleration support in newer ATI cards [07:11] genii: Can you still use smbfs for the automount, or is that not good anymore? [07:11] 2. install windoze xp driver for intel BG2200 [07:11] mogra: what the potato sez [07:12] Cpudan80: you can of course use that in the fstab if you like [07:12] thank you for your help! [07:12] MilitantPotato: does a Mobile Radeon 9700 fall into "newer"? [07:12] night! [07:12] * mogra doubts it, the card is 5 years old... but never know... [07:12] radeon 9700 should be fully supported with it's binary driver by now. [07:12] devilhan: You can boot the live cd and repair, but if were talking about a clean install you'd find it easier to just reinstall. Repairing requires you to know how to log in as root (sudo) using the live cd, find the parition of your ubuntu install (using sudo fdisk -l) mount the damaged partition, open the damaged file, comment out the changes, save then reboot. That's fine if you have it beside you and this computer open, we c [07:12] No not newer.my 9800 was "older" [07:13] !radion [07:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about radion - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:13] !radeon [07:13] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [07:13] @devilhan I suggest you use a seperate /home directory on your next clean install [07:13] ugh gotta get my wireless running in ubuntu too :( [07:13] not looking forward to that [07:13] I'm trying to set up a lamp server behind a router, and the external ip address works when I look on the local network but everybody else said it doesn't work [07:13] pipelineexpc: What kind of wireless? [07:14] * ArthurArchnix seconds phill's suggestion [07:14] broadcom something [07:14] ndis gtk does fine [07:14] ArthurArchnix, would you like to know where our real IRC channel is? [07:14] mmk, then I'm disabling fglrx >.> [07:14] its just still very hard for me to figure stuff out in linux [07:14] frederick85: Because internal machines are not port-blocked [07:14] nenolod: lol... you saw my fup then? [07:14] ArthurArchnix, the freenode one is a decoy for Genpoo losers [07:14] pipelineexpc: You mean wireless networking? [07:14] yeah [07:14] mogra: fglrx is for radeon 9500 pro and above [07:14] * ArthurArchnix hangs head in shame [07:14] AurhurArchnix, so it is possible to use the live cd and log in as root [07:14] pipelineexpc: Mine worked out of the box - I think. [07:14] ArthurArchnix, irc.atheme.org same channel [07:14] ;p [07:14] to modify a file in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base? [07:15] you can use /newserver in xchat [07:15] pipelineeepc: at least the usb wireless "probe" worked - I couldn't connect to my own network due to my very paranoid security settings. xD [07:15] nenolod: I'll see if I can figure it out. [07:15] nenolod: BTW, thanks for a great program. [07:15] or /win new /server in irssi :) heh [07:16] Phill, what is the advantage of a separate /home directory [07:16] Devilhan; Everything. =P [07:16] :) [07:16] Devilhan; You're personal folders are saved. [07:16] devilhan: if you reinstall it wont wipe your /home [07:16] Devilhan; Even after a new isntall etc. [07:16] install* [07:16] devilhan: First, yes. You can use the live cd to login as root. [07:16] sleep time...night all [07:16] gah, no sound on my laptop or my desktop :( [07:17] ArthurArchnix, oh. you use Gaim. [07:17] ArthurArchnix, I'm sorry to hear that. [07:17] mogra: you'll probably like the new ATI drivers you download from ATI's website [07:17] nobody remember golden duck movie from oldies :)))) [07:17] well, ArthurArchnix, thanks for the help, if you can point me to a guide somewhere I will be good to go on my own [07:17] Devilhan; I'd just redownload the alternate cd and do a fresh install - why the alternate? To tell me how good that oh so new encrypted harddisk is. [07:17] nenolod: I'm sorry if I deciedved you. [07:17] @Devilhan; YOu should also make a / /home and /boot directories all in all. [07:17] ArthurArchnix, with Pidgin/GAIM, you add a new account, Protocol: IRC, set your nick, set server to irc.atheme.org, and then join #audacious like you do #ubuntu [07:18] @Devilhan ; DO NOT ENCRYPT /boot [07:18] I wish they made gaim for mobiles :( [07:18] I thought they did. [07:18] devilhan: Do you have files that you need to save from your messed up install? [07:19] Phill, thanks for the help, I will surely do so next time I install [07:19] Like; a text based gaim thing? [07:19] yeah [07:19] ArthurArchnix, unfortunely yes I have a couple [07:19] MilitantPotato: you mean AMD's website? [07:19] @devilhan; I can tell you how much each one needs to be [07:19] ;) [07:19] @devilhan; I suggest making boot small, less then half a gig would probably be more than enough [07:20] @devilhan; then /root should be pretty big; and /home should be the other pretty big one. [07:20] mogra: same thing :) [07:20] devilhan: Wait a tic... you said you get pages and pages of errors... when? [07:20] @devilhan; Think as /home as "Documents and Settings" of Windows; and / as well - C:\ [07:20] in my .xsession-errors file I see tons of statemets with: ** (gnome-panel:8127): WARNING **: ** (gnome-panel:8127): WARNING **: invalid source position for horizontal gradient [07:20] ArthurArchnix, when I boot into recovery mode, after it is loading device drivers [07:21] how can I fix this ? [07:21] MilitantPotato: my question was on Compiz compat w/ the new drivers from AMD's website, anyone gotten it working? [07:21] @devilhan Do you have the drivers? [07:21] So you never get to a login screen, either in recovery mode or in a normal boot? [07:21] MilitantPotato: I tried with the "restricted modules" ones, not tha tI expected that to work. [07:21] ArthurArchnix, exactly [07:21] ok, sounds like Phil has got you covered. [07:22] ArthurArchnix; NO; don't put this on me; I'm a networking person :P [07:22] I need a little help w/internet sharing [07:22] ArthurArchnix; I know up to POST; A+ certifications are jokes as you know ;-P [07:22] ArthurArchnix, at one point, out of dumb luck, I was able to get to the command line, but still don't have permission to edit the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base file, even when using sudo! [07:22] Phill: Isn't this essentially a networking problem? (Y) [07:22] Finally. [07:23] My video card came back [07:23] <3 [07:23] :) [07:23] ArthurArchnix; Not being able to booT? wtf? [07:23] Tyroazard was she on vacations? ;D [07:23] * ArthurArchnix meant that to be a thumbs up, but it kinda looks like a bum. [07:23] LOL [07:23] lol [07:23] No, she died D: [07:23] Devilhan; I suggest... checking your last boot file thing; if you can go into the command line. [07:23] SHE WHAT? [07:23] ASSASSIN!!! [07:23] She died. [07:23] MURDERER! [07:24] D: [07:24] well, thanks for all the help guys [07:24] I am getting ready to just reinstall [07:24] :( [07:24] devilhan: Do you have two computers? the broken one and one you can use and talk to us on? [07:24] yes [07:24] I have two [07:24] :) [07:24] mogra: what does fglrxinfo say in terminal? Mesa or ATI? [07:24] Devilhan; It's dmesg to check. [07:24] devilhan: That's good. [07:24] mine was kidnapped. Shes still missing. Been two years [07:24] devilhan: Toss in the live cd into the broken system' [07:24] yep I just did [07:24] Okay.. now.. 4 weeks away from ubuntu [07:24] @devilhan: See if the livecd can boot up :P [07:24] How do I use Wine, again? [07:24] it is up and running on live cd [07:24] ... [07:24] >.> [07:25] devilhan: Got a flash drive devil? [07:25] @Tyroazard: Random drag and drop with frequent; erratic mouseclicks got it working for me. [07:25] @Tyroazard: I was tipsy. :) [07:25] peacepipej girlfriend? :D [07:25] ArthurArchnix, yes [07:25] Bah, I used terminal. [07:25] Now, what did I do? [07:26] MilitantPotato: ATI [07:26] K, what we'll do its get your files off, do a reinstall, and then not try and fix wireless until you get some trustworthy advice. [07:26] @Tyroazard: I used Automatix to get it for me; Opened up the fake little windows thing and drag and dropped the files I needed in their pseudo positions and isntalled. [07:26] no, my vid card [07:26] devilhan: Let me know when you're at your live desktop. [07:26] Automatix [07:26] @ArthurArchnix: Wireless; Please tell me what about wireless? [07:26] ? [07:26] ArthurArchnix, cool, well i should be able to do that on my own. :) [07:27] Thanks for all the great help, guys [07:27] good night [07:27] *searches* [07:27] devilhan: Wait; you have a wireless problem? [07:27] Phill: :) That's why I said this is your area. [07:27] Is Automatix supported here now? I heard it was part of the plan [07:27] devilhan: TELL; I want to know xD [07:27] ArthurArchnix: Cisco studies are usually very Windows based sadly =( [07:27] I sure hope JAD isnt going to be a PITA to install [07:27] I had a problem with my intel BG2200 on my dell x300 laptop [07:27] ARthurArchnix: SO much for CCNA and Discovery =( [07:27] Ok -- so Im trying to connect to a samba share with ubuntu... [07:27] It works great, but after suspend and wake up [07:27] it stops working [07:27] Phill: I can't believe he wants to log off at this point. LOL] [07:28] I typed smb://server/share in the connect to box -- but no dice [07:28] @Devilhan; That's something with HAL I think [07:28] Anyway, Im having a internet sharing prob. I can ping the host but I cant ping external ip [07:28] So I heard that using ndiswrapper, with windows driver [07:28] @Devilhan; like; you should check into the power suspending. [07:28] It's a protected share that requires a user/pass combo - if that makes a difference [07:28] mogra: it worked then. [07:28] @Devilhan I hear it's a frequent problem - and I can't remember any fixes off hand - googleing... [07:28] `compiz --replace` results in "Checking for Xgl: not present." [07:29] well, according to many, windows driver with ndiswrapper will fix that [07:29] so I thought I will give it a try [07:29] :) [07:29] here comes the vista install ugh [07:29] pipelinexpc: spare yourself the torture [07:29] devilhan: Ndiswrapper is a hack. You should try the right way first. Then, if that fails, ndiswrapper. [07:29] Is there a way to automatically mount my secondary hard drive without having to access it, then putting iin my password? [07:29] heh [07:29] @devilhan: I was able to get suspend to disk working under Ubuntu Gutsy (had to unload ndiswrapper and usb modules so they would restore, but the computer wouldn't freeze in any case). [07:29] Is there a way to automatically mount my secondary hard drive without having to access it, then putting iin my password? [07:29] I HAVE to have vista on for testing :( [07:30] @devilhan; I don't know what that is. [07:30] devilhan: And you should never, never use use ndiswrapper settings in your alsa.conf [07:30] :) [07:30] its a huge PITA because I cant figure out how to keep it from switching soundcards on you [07:30] @devilhan but it had something to do with suspending. [07:30] pipelinexpc: ew [07:30] I see [07:30] Im having a internet sharing prob. I can ping the host but I cant ping external ip [07:30] Hehe, 72 updates availible. [07:30] This oughta take a while. [07:30] pipelineexpc: Vista has it's pluses - I just can't think of any positive ones right now. [07:30] suspending and waking up works really great, except the after waking up, the wireless card is not even detected [07:30] ^^^kickass search features [07:30] linux is easier, most soundcards just plain wont run on it so I dont have to worry [07:30] I went from Vista to Ubuntu and never going back [07:30] the jacklab guys take care of figuring who does what [07:30] I liked Vista [07:30] if I do a ifconfig, all I see is the lo adapter [07:31] You run Ubuntu for one week then go back to vista and go [07:31] don't see any eth0, eth1 [07:31] HOLY DAMN THIS IS SOOOOO SLOOOW [07:31] sudo apt-get -d build-essential <- whats wrong with this command? [07:31] But the new 7600GT driver broked [07:31] pipelineeexpc: Vista... the thing I like about it is that you need a lot of memory and good video cards to make it work - it's an excuse to upgrade ;-) [07:31] devilhan: Have you reinstalled, or are you using the livecd right now? [07:31] And I got BSOD's [07:31] And now I'm on here. [07:31] heh [07:31] amir_: its not that slow if you reboot it every 3-4 days :p [07:31] Phill: not if I have to pay for that upgrade. [07:31] pipelineeexpc: Then I can get something better then Geforce4 MX; maybe something with PIXEL rendering; OMG. [07:31] I am trying to get the files I need on the usb drive [07:31] then I will reinstall [07:31] pipelinexpc, the use of automatix itself isnt supported, but the developers are working around funky things like the legalities etc that has prevented integration in the past, to make the functionality available natively [07:31] :) [07:31] devilhan: did it show you wlan0 or eth0 before installing ndiswrapper? [07:31] Anyone know of any Contact Management software, like ACT.. or VTiger? I got vTiger but have not used it.. no idea why it doesnt work [07:31] @Mogra; It's a way to make me feel less guilty about 175 bucks. =) [07:32] Im having an internet sharing prob. I can ping the host but I cant ping external ip [07:32] I am sure it is eth0 [07:32] or Video Editing similar to Camtasia or Premiere? [07:32] actually wait [07:32] I am not really sure [07:32] devilhan: Do you know how to get those files off? [07:32] hmmm [07:32] Anyone here like mayonaiise? [07:32] devilhan: I think it should be wlan0 [07:32] amir_ The food? [07:32] amir_: If the food - No. [07:32] I'd think if you wanted PIXEL rendering, you wouldn't feel guilty about 175 bucks even without the Vista being some "excuse" [07:33] I think it is wlan0 too [07:33] There's a prog called Mayonaise? [07:33] no f*ckin way! hook me up [07:33] Phill: devilhan hasn't even gotten his files off his old partition yet, nor has he reistalled yet, talking about eth's and wlan's is probably just confusing at this point. [07:33] amir_: it makes sammiches [07:33] ? [07:33] i dont care what it does I just want to tell my friends "yeah, well I use Mayonaise. Makes a hell of a lot of difference" [07:33] heres how I use vista: Check the mail, if theres a soundcard in the mailbox, open it up, install it, run it thru its paces, write down whther it works or not...if it works, put it back in the package, send it back...if it doesnt, call the manufacturer, beg, plead, if it works soon after that, back in the box back in the mail..if it doesnt work, hold on to it for a while and see if the... [07:33] ...drivermaker wants to fix it, then back to xp to do work [07:33] Arthur, :) you are right, I need help getting those files off [07:33] what about pot? [07:33] it is saying that I dont' have permission to read the file [07:33] devilhan: No worries. one thing at a time mate. [07:34] anyone here use linux for webdevelopment? I'm just curious what tools people use [07:34] punsad: Dreamweaver [07:34] post the output of fdisk -l [07:34] @punsad: VI or Emacs for the hardcores. [07:34] how can i change the number of sides on my desktop cube? I don't see the option in Desktop Cube or Rotate Cube settings [07:34] i think like mx or dreamweaver 8 [07:34] but that's not web development :) [07:34] amir_: that's what I thought :) [07:34] punsad, what kind of web development? [07:34] amir_: What do you mean? Everything by hand baby. [07:34] punsad: vim+LAMP [07:34] Is there a way to automatically mount my secondary hard drive without having to access it, then putting iin my password? [07:34] it's all I need :3 [07:34] Phill: I seriously am using vi and firefox for my two tools. [07:35] amir_: Though; I honestly prefered Notepad++ on Windows. [07:35] punsad: Ownage. [07:35] Phill: oh just hobbist type stuff. blogs/wordpress/php stuff [07:35] Phill, how do you quote someone without having to type the name in? [07:35] Phill, how do you quote someone without having to type the name in? [07:35] punsad: check out the web development plugins for firefox, and firebug [07:35] balls, sorry for double posting [07:35] amir_: not a clue? [07:35] mogra: thanks.. will check it out [07:35] oh no, Arthur is gone! [07:35] does anyone know how to record touchtone numbers from IVP system to file for order taking? [07:35] punsad: I suggest trying to get something like -... the developers extension for firefox? [07:36] Does anyone here like el pollo loco? I'm having some trouble ordering food. [07:36] devilhan: Not quite yet.. but soon [07:36] I have no idea of whrt protocol to google [07:36] :) [07:36] I don't care about anything else, www.getfirebug.com f'ing rocks [07:36] punsad: It's like - the one that has web developer stuff - in fact I think it's called Web Developer Extension... [07:36] punsad: That and the built in DOM thing with nano worked fine for what I did; or gedit. [07:36] does it put in a bunch of crappy code? [07:37] is there a driver issue with Nvidia cards under ubuntu, i cant change res [07:37] Phill: yea, there's a firefox-webdevelopers package in buntu [07:37] I'm afraid I'm hooked on vi, for better or worse [07:37] whats automatix? [07:37] mogra: It's ownage; though I haven't done anything with developing since what? Seventh grade? [07:37] Hmeh [07:37] Is there any way to get virtual paging for Ubuntu? [07:37] I want moar. [07:38] pipelineexpc: It installs some restricted stuff really easily. [07:38] ahh [07:38] Im having an internet sharing prob. I can ping the host but I cant ping external ip [07:38] Im having an internet sharing prob. I can ping the host but I cant ping external ip [07:38] Phill: It's what I do. That's why I recommend Firebug and the WebDev plugins for FF [07:38] pipelineeepc: like Wine and etc. [07:38] mogra: Yeah; I'm just using Java and Eclipse these days. [07:38] I cant wait to try the new wineasio build :) [07:38] mogra: If only I could get Eclipse to compile -,- [07:38] I find wysiwyg too invasive to the code. It just throws in all this crap.. nvu isn't as bad, from what I saw, but it still does some [07:38] mogra: [My java programs that is] [07:38] Im having an internet sharing prob. I can ping the host but I cant ping external ip [07:38] punsad: Get out... really? Wow. It took me a good 1/2 to figure it out. Raised on word processors though, so there was nothing more counter-intuitive then visudo in my life. [07:39] if you have any plans on upgrading your distro in the future, do not use automatix. There is no reason to use it in gutsy, it offers nothing, if you use it in fiesty, you will have to uninstall anything you used it for to get a decent ugrade later [07:39] punsad: Editing by hand is the way to go ;-) [07:39] btw, phill, punsad, the firefox-webdevelopers package also installs firebug, just fyi [07:39] 1/2hour [07:39] what distro are you using? [07:39] Timon_Crazy, sometimes even that's not enough because of some of the alterations it makes [07:39] timothywcrane: I hadn't had any problems with it from Edgy to Gutsy. [07:39] Im gonna do jad and ubuntu [07:40] Just to lazy to install Eclipse by myself. xD [07:40] elkbuntu, hello! [07:40] brb, smoking time [07:40] Night all - Bed. [07:40] some peolple don't it depends on your hardware, it has a tendency to create forks in your file system from on upgrasde to another can cause conflicts [07:40] Im having an internet sharing prob. I can ping the host but I cant ping external ip [07:40] but I agree Phill, some people were not affected by this [07:40] ArthurArchnix: Oh.. I can figure it out, I just like having more control of the source code [07:40] Timon_Crazy, sorry, tab complete booboo... it was ment for timothywcrane [07:41] peacepipej1: is the host another computer in your home? [07:41] punsad: yup [07:41] can you make a vesa driver display 1440X900 resolution (wide) ? I have an NVIDIA GEFORCE 7150 and I cannot make it work [07:41] peacepipej1: can host ping external ip? [07:42] punsad: both are Gutsy. Had em hooked earlier but I did a fresh Gutsy install on client [07:42] acu, Why are you using vesa? [07:42] peacepipej1: can the host ping external ip? [07:42] punsad: its this one. Im hooked to the internet now [07:42] elkbuntu, ))) [07:42] this ones the host [07:42] * mogra does all his coding in Vim, testing on server, debug with webdev-plugins for FF. [07:42] punsad: but ill check to be sure [07:42] acu: http://www.nobell.org/~gjm/pc/aspect.html [07:43] I find if I hand code it, it just works better. [07:43] punsad: host can ping external ip. I pinged google [07:43] * Jordan_U uses ed, when I'm not just compiling in binary ;) [07:43] Quick question, is all that berylstuff on by default in the desktop installation? [07:43] peacepipej1: how did you set up nat? it's been so long since I did that. I remember using ipchains with 2.2 kernel , then iptables when 2.4 kernel came around. :) [07:44] modu: depends on the hardware used [07:44] how do I refresh the userlist of a room in irssi? [07:44] Varka: ah, okey [07:44] punsad: nat? both are set to static ip [07:44] modu, With Gutsy, yes Compiz is installed by default if possible, but only with basic, not too flashy effects [07:45] peacepipej1: ???? did you set up NAT? [07:45] Jordan_U: that sounds good, thanks [07:45] punsad: i dont know what you mean by NAT [07:45] greencookie: are you using the nicklist.pl plugin? if not just do /names [07:45] Arthur, still around? [07:46] peacepipej1: if you are going to use the linux box as a router, then ... well you need to set it up as a router. this means network address translation and ip route tables [07:46] Hi there, I'm running Ubuntu on a hard drive that I know is low performance i.e. always in PIO Mode in "that other operating system" is there an equivalent to looking at the IDE channel and seeing if I'm in DMA Mode 5 or something?? [07:46] qball680: I think hdparm is what you are looking for [07:47] punsad: ll i did last earlier today was set up static ips for both host and client. Host is connected via cdma [07:47] to the inrternet [07:47] thank you [07:47] peacepipej1, If you don't know what NAT means then you probably want to use Firestarter to set it up [07:47] punsad: Iam using firestarter [07:47] time to burn the JAD iso [07:47] peacepipej1, Also install dhcp3-server [07:47] Anyone play planeshift here? [07:48] !planeshift [07:48] gfh [07:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about planeshift - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:48] Jordan_U I cannot make this card being recognized - I have to use vesa insetead of nv [07:48] greencookie: I played for like... 20 minutes [07:48] acu, Have you tried the "nvidia" driver? [07:48] mogra: lol me too! [07:48] mogra: but we're out of choices when it comes to mmorpg on linux:) if u dont use wine:D [07:48] acu, And can you pastebin the errors you get when you try to use nv? [07:49] greencookie: it has potential, but it's still too early in development if they even ever finish it. [07:49] don't laugh but I can't find the panel settings, to add or resize [07:49] mogra: you mean its not the final release yet? [07:49] greencookie: rumor of Earth Eternal getting a Linux client. *is hopeful* [07:49] neur1, Right click the pannel [07:49] greencookie: heck no, I DL'd the "newest" one and they said "This is still in development!" [07:49] mogra: would you recommend any mmo games for linux for me? i get bored at work. [07:49] peacepipek1: in case you are curious to learn more an EXCELENT tutorial is at http://aboutdebian.com/proxy.htm [07:50] can't too much junk on it [07:50] mogra: lol I know they only have 1 server and around 300 ppl online at tht time. [07:50] punsad: is that really necessary with static ips. Im only using two computers [07:50] punsad: i was sharing earlier, nothing is different with the host from earlier. [07:50] does anyone else remember ipchains? [07:50] punsad: vaguely [07:50] greencookie: I do like that there are more than just "go kill these monsters and brings me their l00ts!" quests in PS [07:50] before my days [07:50] mogra: lol I found the training area so boring, I just had to stop:) [07:51] MMO's are too repeditive for my taste [07:51] I get tired of linear gameplay [07:51] greencookie: they say it gets bettera fter training area, my reason is I didn't have time to finish the training area [07:51] sidlet: tried WoW? [07:51] brb [07:51] greencookie: long time ago. its linear as well :P [07:51] whats the best way to get divx/xvid running? [07:51] sidlet: linear? o.O oook [07:51] punsad: ill check it out. I had it working until i did a fresh install on the client. I was able to update everything via a windows host [07:51] greencookie: i'm an oblivion player [07:51] mogra: yah. Grinding = WoW [07:52] peacepipej1: well.. you need to use your firewallstarter or whatever setup screipt that was that you mentioned. It's probably a wrapper for iptables [07:52] Csaba, Open the file in Totem :) [07:52] sidlet: I don't WoW, I find pride in that fact. [07:52] tells me i havent got the codec [07:52] Csaba, If you are using Feisty or newer it will install the codecs you need for you [07:52] mogra: pat yourself on the back :) [07:52] peacepipej1: sounds like you had it set up at one point and it's broken now [07:52] sidlet: isnt that on 360? [07:52] jordon.. should i install the w32codecs? [07:52] greencookie: yah [07:52] mogra: lol No wow? I'm a wow crackhead. [07:52] Csaba, You shouldn't need them for divx and xvid [07:52] sidlet: but when I think linear I think like... Final Fantasy. [07:53] mogra: *WAS [07:53] greencookie: I'm sorry to hear that. [07:53] greencookie: i unfortunatly cant afford one of those. I opted into this lappy instead of 360 :P [07:53] mogra: thats linear to the extreme [07:53] sidlet: Dude, I have been dying to play that game but too poor to get 360 yet:) [07:53] sid oh lol. [07:53] greencookie: your lappy may run it :P mine does [07:53] mine runs Oblivion well, I like it. [07:53] sidlet: I have inspiron b130 w/o wine. [07:54] Csaba, ffmpeg should play divx, "sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg " [07:54] punsad: yup, im not sure whats different. Ecerything looks the same as before. I can ping the host from the client but I cant ping external ip from the client [07:54] greencookie: i'm dual booting with vista FOR oblivion :P [07:54] I need to get oblivion. sudo apt-get install oblivion?:) hehe [07:54] sidlet: I'm sorry to hear that 5 letter word. [07:54] sidlet: my lappy has ONLY *nix [07:54] :( [07:54] Csaba, But it should have reccommended that automatically, what version of Ubuntu are you using? [07:54] mogra: i'm not :P i gave up on gaming in nix. Its getting there but not there yet. [07:54] sidlet: I dual boot my desktop with vista FOR WoW:) hehe [07:55] jordan. gutsy [07:55] sidlet: mogra: do you guys SNES? [07:55] hi all [07:55] sidlet: I don't game on PC, so I really don't care. [07:55] brb [07:55] Csaba, Strange, do you have gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg installed? [07:55] Not hardcore gaming, anyway. [07:55] jordan, yeah, i just did that now, its working, cheerz [07:55] greencookie: you better beleive it. I have a mod'd xbox :P [07:55] The games available for Nix, Tremulour, Nexuiz, etc etc, are enough for me. [07:56] peacepipej1: well... you'll need to trouble shoot your 'Firestarter' setup. [07:56] zsnexbox > * [07:56] thanks again [07:56] eh, Wii it on the SNES/NES/Genesis games. [07:56] wow, gnome looks so much better when it isnt run in 1024x768 [07:57] peacepipej1: I just did a google search on Firestarter and it is just a frontend for iptables. The link I gave you lays it all out in plain english in what's going on under the hood [07:57] hi all- i want install joes (ubuntu) in a vmware-ser virtual machine but the install stop at 73 % ? [07:57] modu: ain't that right, tho? XD [07:57] peacepipej1, What is the ip of the client / gateway ( box which is "sharing" the connection ) ? [07:57] To be honest, since the dawn of wifi routers, I just use that instead of my linux box as the router [07:57] YYY [07:58] thank you modu, hdpard is showing me exactly what I wanted to know about hard drive dma statuses [07:58] jepe, What do you mean by joes? [07:58] hi, things are better from last night, but now I have new problems [07:58] er:hdparm I mean [07:58] I think compiz is corrupted [07:58] punsad: I find issues doing that. Linux is a much more reliable router, so I use it with a switch and a USR Access Point set on MAC Whitelisting [07:58] sidlet: sweet. modded xbox aawesome [07:58] greencookie: you running feisty or gutsy? [07:58] mogra, Might as well get a linux router from linksys then :) [07:58] sidlet: i was too much of an enthuiast to be stuck with fiesty:) [07:58] where can I find this chat's logs? [07:59] all of a sudden, I lost the bars at the top of the windows [07:59] punsad: client 192.168.50.2 [07:59] then when I rebooted, GNOME was just working with Metacity [07:59] I've had no problems with my el-cheapo dlink 624 [07:59] Jordan_U: it's cool they are using "linux", but LS's hardware sucks, IMO. [07:59] mogra, The "tomato" alternate firmware is great [07:59] I tried to upgrade from Edgy from Feisty but got an error about some file check failure and internetconnetion int the [07:59] I rebooted again, and now I'm getting errors about starting the GNOME settings daemon [07:59] course that was a fresh install [07:59] JDSBlueDevl, you need to enable the "windows decorator" in compiz [07:59] qball680, are you sure you'reconnectedto the internet? [07:59] why cant i change my desktop res? [07:59] Jordan_U: agreed with mogra [08:00] well, now I can't even get back into GNOME [08:00] mogra, In what way? [08:00] JDSBlueDevl:whats the problem? [08:00] does anyone know where to find this channels log files? [08:00] some of these wifi routers actuallyruns linux/iptables under the hood. [08:00] sorry jeos is a ubuntu-7.10-jeos-i386 lite distrib [08:00] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=590510 [08:00] yep, I had just finished doing all the 200+ online updates and then responded yes to the upgrade to Fiesty [08:00] !log | terry__ [08:00] terry__: Channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - Logs for LoCo channels are at http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [08:00] punsad: gateway is 192.168.50.1 [08:00] for virtual machine [08:00] can any one help i dont understand were to change code [08:00] Jordan_U: I cant get my wireless card or ati card to work properly:) and IMO that sucks bigtime, but i can sacrifice those temporarily:D [08:00] something about Process /usr/lib/gnome-control-center/gnome-settings-daemon exited with status 127 [08:01] I'd gone through three "Linux Linksys" routers before deciding their ROM memory just sucks. Every time the littlest thing happenned, it would forget it's settings. [08:01] qball680, try the old-fashioned way, and change all of your repositories to "gutsy" then do "sudo apt-get update", "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [08:01] Phill? you there? [08:01] Jordan_U, sorry jeos is a ubuntu-7.10-jeos-i386 lite distrib for virtual machine [08:01] So I opted for settings to be written to harddrives instead. [08:02] mogra, Did you try alternate firmware or are you sure it was a harware problem? I have had no problems with Tomato [08:02] right now, I'm in failsafe terminal, trying to aptitude update and upgrade [08:02] guys whats failsafe DM for? [08:02] ah ha! The upgrade is working now. I figured I needed to restart after a fresh install and update [08:03] greencookie, When for whatever reason X does not start with the current xorg.conf settings three times in a row, it sets the values to vesa and low rez which is likely to always work [08:04] greencookie, Oh, sorry, thought you said failsafe GDM [08:04] Jordan_U: whatever it was, the problems disappeared when I stopped using LS and just used a used Dell w/ 2 NICs. [08:04] greencookie, ... Or did you? [08:04] ok, update showed no difference [08:04] how do i update to a newer nvidia driver? [08:04] hai [08:05] Csaba, use envy for nvidia driver [08:05] still don't know what's up [08:05] Jordan_U: I've never played with session manager at login to check the failsafe option. I was wondering what that was for [08:05] peacepipej1: Did you try using 'Firestarter' to diagnose the problem. it is, after all, a gui. Try runninf Firestarter to see if theres some obvious setting that's wrong [08:05] hey guys [08:05] hallooo [08:05] I think I'm having trouble logging into KDE as well [08:05] Csaba, google envy, it takes care of all the installation stuff for you [08:05] Jordan_U: I'm actually gonna go ahead and try that right now. [08:05] hello, i've just installed a flash player-plugin for mozilla... how do i use the same plugin for opera? [08:05] cheerz devilhan [08:05] how do I setup snmpd.conf on hosts so I can use cacti? [08:05] is there a way to "pretty-up" the way i change from workspace to workspace? [08:05] :) [08:05] hey. i've got a question, maybe you guys can help. i've been googling for this but havent found anything useful. i'm trying to set up dual head, but the monitors are being read in reverse order of windows, and since i am dual booting, that would be a bit of a pain. i figured that changing the screen order in the xorg.conf file would fix it, but nothing has done the trick. any thoughts? thanks in advance. [08:06] Csaba, If you don't have any pressing need to I wouldn't, if you do want to though: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual [08:06] seems like Xfce is also not loading [08:06] punsad: firestarter is running. If DHCP is not selected it tells me eth0 isnt proper. If it is enabled it works fine [08:06] here comes my JAD install :) [08:06] i have strange problem , the cpu idle about 80% , but when try to execute command like ps -aux , it take long time ? [08:06] jordan. i cant change my desktop res [08:06] like a skin or something to make the change look cooler, like a rotating or shifting workspace [08:06] Jordan_U: nvm. I thought it was another displaymanager. silly me. heh. [08:06] trying reboot now [08:07] hi everyone [08:07] hi kaddy [08:07] mandh: try using top instead [08:07] hi dude [08:07] i was hoping i can get a little help in here for a problem i got [08:07] could anyone help me out? [08:07] hi, how can I know what services are up in ubuntu? [08:08] (i'm a newbie) [08:08] anas: ps aux [08:08] Csaba, are you familiar with the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:08] ere4si, top dont work at all , coz it take long time , i dont know why , i only can use vmstate 1 16 for example === GodTodd_ is now known as GodTodd [08:08] anas: scripts in /etc/rc2.d are a good hint [08:09] Hi again, when I run 'sudo hdparm -c /dev/hda I see that I'm in 16-bit mode? Does this mean DMA or PIO or something different? [08:09] devilhan, not really, i havent used a linux distro for 5 years or so [08:09] anas: assuming you are in runlevel 2 [08:09] thanks by [08:09] ok, after boot, no error message, but taskbars appear and disappear [08:09] Csaba, so I guess first you should try using envy, it is easy to install and upgrade your nvidia drivers using that [08:09] linux and windows are reading my monitors in reverse order, and i can't get the xorg.conf file to display the correct thing on the correct monitor. [08:09] i find fix for Mathematica but dont uderstan were to write code can any one help plz [08:09] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=590510 [08:09] thank u guys [08:09] bottom page [08:10] im gonna throw my problem out here into the room, and if anybody can solve it... i'll fkn worship you. hahha. I have around 4 native linux games, and with all of them.... about 10 mins into gameplay, they minimise to a small window and then i can't do anything anymore. anybody know a fix for this? [08:10] anyone know how i can convert a .uif image file into an ISO? [08:10] Csaba and if you have problem changing resolution, look into /etc/X11/xorg.conf, you can google for instruction about how to change resolution that file, pretty straightfoward [08:10] Evanlec: the only way i got that to work was to wine MagicISO [08:10] hi, is there any program I can use to create tiles and map tiles, and levels in the synaptic manager? [08:10] sidlet, really? gawwwwd === jon_ is now known as kd7swh [08:11] Evanlec: all the tuts i found didnt work for me :( sry about the bummer news [08:11] oh great, now my greeting application is crashing [08:11] sidlet, is magicISO free? === louie_ is now known as ComPro [08:11] mandh: try at boot selecting rescue kernel and then top or ps -aux [08:11] not quite [08:11] nvm, working now [08:11] JDSBlueDevl, Can you "xinit" ? [08:11] anyone know of a way to ramp up the power from a USB port (I've got my phone plugged in, but without the windows drivers the USB port outputs less power and it refuses to charge) [08:11] Evanlec: uif is just the opposite of what the three letter acronym suggests. (universal iso format) [08:11] login screen is working now [08:11] sidlet, u paid for it? 30 day trial? [08:12] I can now login to xfce, so that's progress [08:12] punsad, okay? [08:12] nobody got a solution to my problem? j:9 [08:12] hey. i've got a question, maybe you guys can help. i've been googling for this but havent found anything useful. i'm trying to set up dual head, but the monitors are being read in reverse order of windows, and since i am dual booting, that would be a bit of a pain. i figured that changing the screen order in the xorg.conf file would fix it, but nothing has done the trick. any thoughts? thanks in advance. [08:12] iso is already as universal as it gets :) [08:12] :( [08:12] Evanlec: i bought it [08:12] Evanlec: it's a proprietary format [08:12] sidlet, oh my word, im def not doin that [08:12] can virtualbox open vmware files? [08:12] ere4si, it is running server , i cant stop it [08:12] trying KDE next [08:13] Evanlec: heh ;) [08:13] whew, i just moved /boot to its own partition, that was not easy ;p [08:13] I don't want to have to reinstall vmware if virtual box will open vmx files [08:13] Evanlec, is it really a lot of work? [08:13] hmm, kdesktop crashed [08:13] Im at the JAD install screen I can install or install acp[i disabled or local acpi disabled [08:13] what is that and why do I care? [08:14] devilhan, well, if u know what ur doing its not, i kinda knew what i was doing, but mostly followed a howto [08:14] kaddy: well, games is one of those areas where distributions need improvement [08:14] does anyone know if there is a way to update your MSI Motherboard's firmware in Linux? [08:14] sidlet: maybe you can shed some light - is there any reason for the uif format to exist other than making money fo magiciso? [08:14] mandh: you might have to - worst case scenario would be someone else is controlling it... [08:14] devilhan, i ended up havin to boot off the livecd several times to make adjustments to grub [08:14] nope [08:14] punsad, i highly doubt it [08:14] can someone please assist me in getting beryl set up? i have an ATi x1550 [08:14] its like this. Warez kiddies are too stupid to use OSS [08:15] Evanlec, interesting, do you have a link to the howto? :) btw, how do I private message someone? [08:15] i cant believe they do that crap, there's nothing wrong with ISO's, they work fine, stop making stupid cd-image formats [08:15] mandh: are there log files to read? [08:15] they figure if you have to pay for it it must be good [08:15] now kdeinit can't start [08:15] ere4si, the server is mail server [08:15] devilhan ./msg [08:15] UIF = ISO with proprietary stuff in it. I'd rather have a NRG or an ISO. But i bought magiciso just incase I ever needed it. [08:15] devilhan, type ' /msg ' or find them in the user list and hit open dialogue [08:15] and I have needed it a few times here and there [08:15] Anybody know how to stop native linux games from minimising to a small window during gameplay? when it does you cant do anything and have to reboot x. its annoying. ubuntu 7.10 here [08:16] 1100 people in here and nobody can tell me if virtualbox will open a vmx that is sad [08:16] ./msg Evanlec so what are the advantage of having a separate partition for the home drive, beside you don't lose data if your OS crashes? [08:16] well try it for yourself [08:16] don't put the . [08:16] ere4si, and running mta-courier i can read the log file easily but when try to exectue some commands like ls or ps , top it take long time, using vmstate appear that cpu idle 80 % [08:16] ok, so here's the thing. I can log in to Xfce fine. With KDE, kdeinit won't run, and when it does, kdesktop crashes [08:16] ./msg Evanlec just wondering if it is worth it for me to go through that, haha [08:16] !beryl [08:16] Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion.

[08:42] JDSBlueDevl: alt-f2 works for me, but sometimes the window comes up in the back [08:42] so i have to alt-tab to get to it [08:43] it works in Xfce, but not GNOME [08:43] funny the panel applet works, though [08:43] briansk1, re-install XGL? or was that comment reffering to something else? [08:43] well, that worked, I guess [08:44] err - no i was asking if you meant remove xserver-xorg and then re-install it [08:44] although now with it running, the title bars got chopped off again [08:44] arrgh, the title bars in compiz are chopped off! [08:45] hi...i've got ubuntu 7.10 and it doesn't recognise the dvd recorder and the cd recorder..what can i do? [08:45] JDSBlueDevl, happens all the time [08:45] briansk1, No, if you re-install it you will have the same problems, and yes, they are likely caused by your old scripts conflicting with the ones the Gutsy XGL package installs by default [08:45] how do I fix it? [08:45] Balaams_Miracle: are you there brother? [08:45] just started happening after the update that I thought fixed my problems from last night [08:45] briansk1, In fact there is a possability that you are running one XGL session on top of another on top of Xorg :) [08:46] how do I fix it? === mike is now known as Zaiden [08:46] how do i install python? [08:46] i dont understand the whole sudo pt thingo [08:47] Csaba: sudo apt-get install python [08:47] ? [08:47] I'm not sure if you guys can help with this, but when I run any game in ZSNES, the sound is staticy and lags === dav7 is now known as dav7|food [08:47] briansk1, Because Ubuntu's script starts XGL then your script does it again, which means that every thing displayed on the screen would have to go through three X servers :) [08:48] amidan.. it says i have unmet dependencies [08:48] Does anyone know how to enable LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT? [08:48] should i try with -f? [08:48] i wanna setup NAT in ubuntu but without firestarter how do i do that? [08:49] hello, one question, how I should install Java JRE? [08:49] Hello everyone! [08:49] Does anyone else experience keyboard freezing with java? [08:50] I am having 2 problems with hibernate/suspend... The good news is, it does work and even wake up again.. But I a) want to remove the password dialogue and b) I don't have sound after resume... [08:51] hallelujah, a successful reboot [08:51] if I move my /home/ folder to a different partition will it mess up WINE? [08:51] uh oh, the titlebars are still chopped off [08:51] John_5 as long as permissions are ok. [08:51] thanks [08:51] John_5, i think no [08:51] does anyone know how to get the titlebars back in compiz? [08:51] hi, good morning [08:52] JDSBlueDevl: #ubuntu-effects [08:52] Hello anyone know what I put in my gtkrc-2.0 to prevent buttons from hilighting on mouse over? === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [08:52] can i get python with synaptic? [08:52] Csaba, yes, but you already have it [08:52] do a search in synapti for pthon [08:53] is there any way to keep my ssh connection to a bbs alive? [08:53] Python is installed by default in nearly all distros [08:53] how does one find out where grub was installed to? [08:53] Can anyone help me? I'm experiencing this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/148110 [08:53] Lapinux try under /boot [08:53] Lapinux, i think it's usually on the MBR of hda [08:53] i was trying to install envy and told me i was missing something [08:54] Hello everyone [08:54] is it possible to shrink and create EXT3 partitions without loss of data? [08:54] daedric: i booted off a live cd and it in fact mounts the existing /boot dir, i also told it to install to mbr of hd0 but something is wrong [08:54] anyone know of a good CLI program that can use the AIM protocol? [08:54] how do i set up NAT in ubuntu 7.10 without using firestarter [08:54] daedric: i believe it has to do with my ide drive being picked up before the sata drives that i created raid array on [08:54] Tanlaan: Pidgin [08:55] im lost though [08:55] Lapinux what kind of array ? [08:55] md raid, software i guess [08:55] raid 0 [08:56] are you trying to boot from it? [08:56] tanlaan, you mean like a chat program? [08:56] djsonik: i installed wine but it will work with windows exe files or other something else? [08:56] Greetings everyone [08:56] FalandA windows exe's of course. [08:57] no one in #compiz-fusion [08:57] so [08:57] can i install every exe file ? [08:57] does anyone here know how to get the titlebars in compiz working again? [08:57] you can't INSTALL [08:57] internet connectation sharing [08:57] it works with windows exe files [08:57] copy will be easier :) [08:57] daedric: i have 1 ide drive, that is ntfs with existing files that i left alone, then 2 drives, i created /boot on the first 512mb of one sata drive, then 512mb swap on the beginning of the second drive, the free space on each of those was then made raid 0 [08:57] :S [08:57] anyway windows exe files why cant i install every exe file [08:57] forexample which can i install and cant i ? [08:58] Lapinux should be ok then. but groub needs to stay on the ntfs drive if i understand correctly :) [08:58] can you give me examples? [08:58] nephlim: Yea, I used to know of one but I can't recall the name. It was a really good one, it partitioned the screen so you had your buddy list and your area to chat, and you could easily switch between the "open" chat boxes [08:58] FalandA you can't installl. installers will have dificultie working. But you can copy them. [08:58] Jordan_U: thanks for the tip on xgl - that was totally the problenm [08:58] About which works, which nots.... try them... :D [08:58] i just have linux [08:58] i could do with a JD&Coke right about now [08:58] wine work with windows? [08:58] briansk1, np [08:58] FalandA you can try running the installer... [08:58] tanlaan, centerim maybe? [08:58] thru wine. [08:58] ok [08:59] forexample i have got an counterstrike.exe [08:59] just install file [08:59] tanlaan, i use pidgin [08:59] is it work? [08:59] FalandA like... uncompress to a dir and play ? :) [08:59] tanlaan, it's kind of like adium on the mac [08:59] hi all. installed 7.1 last night. question regarding extending desktop to second display. when i click test, both monitors switch on, but show grey images [08:59] hmm okey :)) [08:59] should they show the proper ubuntu desktop? [08:59] i ll try now [08:59] linux or windows? [08:59] daedric: i told it hd0, and i believe the ide drive is treated as the first drive, how would i check? [08:59] tamer ne öğrenmek istiyorsun? :) [09:00] FalandA: With absolutely no personal experience, I can say counterstrike doesn't usually work under wine (from what I've heard). You'd likely be better off setting up vmware or the like [09:00] forget it Mr. exe [09:00] amidaniel: ok bro ;) [09:00] Lapinux can you boot linux ? [09:00] nephlim: ooh, maybe. Yea I use it also but that is with this computer, I'm trying to get it for my iMac G3 that I'm throwing debian onto. plus I just like the Command Line :D [09:00] amidaniel CS won't work on vmware... no hardware accel on guest os. [09:01] daedric: Ah, alright. Then I guess ya'll have to go to a windows box :) [09:01] tanlaan, http://www.pidgin.im/ [09:01] true enough. [09:01] 1pidgin [09:01] !pidgin [09:01] pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It is available in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), but not previous versions. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info. To install Pidgin please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallPidgin2.0 [09:01] Sad that such a popular game wouldn't release a linux-compatible version [09:01] counterstrike does work on wine [09:01] WOOOO [09:02] its one of the few [09:02] nephlim: why did you send me the link? lol, I'm using it on this machine right now [09:02] daedric: no, only from the livecd, normal boot gives me a grub error 17 [09:02] amidaniel: please look this link http://www.cstrike-planet.com/tutorial/1/6 [09:02] It may have taken me 6 hours but I finally got wifi working :D [09:02] i need some help with ndiswrapper please [09:02] congrats [09:02] FalandA: dead link ... [09:02] oh sorry, miss that part [09:02] :S [09:02] i m on it now [09:02] i play unreal tournament with wine, but i think its a real shame wine wont run on a mac, but i understand why it wont. [09:02] missed* [09:02] amidaniel: http://www.cstrike-planet.com/tutorial/1/6/ [09:03] dead link [09:03] dead link [09:03] brobostigon: how did you install ? [09:03] it's nearly 4am here, on hour 21 :) [09:03] Can anyone link me to a guide to activating DRI on a new Ubuntu install? [09:03] can anyone help with ndiswrapper making my system crash in gusty never did with feisty [09:03] nephlim: alright well I'm off to go fight with my mac and play metroid on my SNES haha [09:03] nephlim: thanks though [09:03] np [09:04] I'm having a sound issue with ZSNES if anyone can help [09:04] does anyone know anything about this [09:04] i just copied thewholeinstalled folder to my usb stick and copied that folder to my home folder in ubuntu, and then ran it like (wine *.exe) [09:04] does anyone know how i can keep my ssh connection to a bbs alive? [09:05] hello? can anyone help me with my titlebars in compiz? [09:05] nephlim: need more detaisl [09:05] forums didn't help [09:05] ls [09:05] no one is in #compiz-fusion [09:05] JDSBlueDevl: set your depth to 24 instead of 32 [09:05] how? [09:05] JDSBlueDevl: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:06] DefaultDepth 24 [09:06] it already is 24 [09:06] JDSBlueDevl: ati or nvidia? [09:06] cowbud, i do " ssh foo@foo.blah.com", via terminal, do usual bbs stuff. if i'm idle for too long, it's unresponsive, have to re-log in [09:06] if you say ati you are done [09:06] nvidia [09:07] daedric: if you can check out http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44984 and i have no idea why it thought there was another os, unless it sees something on the mbr of the ide drive where i might of had windows installed a while back...? [09:07] hy [09:07] JDSBlueDevl: fresh isntall? [09:07] no, upgrade from Feisty via update-manager [09:07] nephlim: do you get a shell or is it a straight up bbs? [09:07] and everything was fine until yesterday [09:07] well what did you do [09:07] help, I don't have sound on my computer [09:07] the upgrade from Feisty was a few weeks back [09:07] hmm -- I can't seem to get on the internet through virtual box -- is there a reason why to this? I can connect to LAN but I dunno. [09:07] suddenly a few keys in my keyboard arent working [09:07] cowbud, it just takes over the terminal i'm using [09:08] nephlim: well what software is it running:? [09:08] help help [09:08] le knl [09:08] well, actually things were running fine, then I was in GMail trying to get rid of my spam, and when I clicked on the "Delete all spam messages" button, the titlebars went missing [09:08] #ubuntu-offtopic [09:09] JDSBlueDevl: have you started X? [09:09] actually, I can't connect to my lan [09:09] cause that doesn't make any sense [09:09] you mean restarted X? [09:09] b/c I logged out once, which should restart X [09:09] a few keys in my keyboard arent working, any suggestions how to fix it =\ [09:09] JDSBlueDevl: yes it should [09:09] then yes I did [09:09] JDSBlueDevl: hrmm interesting it has nothing to do with firefox/gmail [09:09] JDSBlueDevl: did you install any updateS? [09:10] this afternoon, yes [09:10] what? [09:10] still trying to get firefox working on 7.10 server - I ran 'sudo apt-get install firefox' and it said it succedded by 'firefox' dies saying "can't open display" [09:10] but it just happened two hours ago [09:10] bryan_: huh? [09:10] the update from yesterday was another hell unto itself [09:10] cowbud, the bbs is Citadel [09:10] nephlim: yeah your only hope is some sort of interactive script that when you press a key combination it sends something every so often to keep you from being idle [09:10] Lapinux seems ok to me :) [09:11] i need some help with ndiswrapper [09:11] anyone [09:11] jdlizard: 10 bucks says you google ndiswrapper +your nic and you find hell [09:11] help [09:11] rather [09:11] heh [09:11] tell us your rproblem and we will see if we can help [09:12] no not been surching for days [09:12] JDSBlueDevl: so downgrade whatever was updated.. [09:12] things worked this afternoon after the update, then restarting X [09:12] so it wasn't that [09:12] JDSBlueDevl: so what else changed ;) [09:13] daedric: i will have to do more searching, i remember some command to find out where grub is installed to, which drive... [09:13] I don't know [09:13] it just self-corrupted [09:13] does anybody know how to fix this problem..... my native linux games in ubuntu 7.10 minimise to a small window during gameplay and will not let you do anything. any fixes? [09:13] JDSBlueDevl: since you have to install updates yourself that requires interaction [09:13] would this have to do with emerald? [09:13] I just did a fresh (test) install of ubuntu 7.10 server and I want to add firefox but 'sudo apt-get install firefox' succedded only to have the command 'firefox' die complaining it can't open Display [09:13] JDSBlueDevl: not to say there is an excuse for update screwing.. [09:13] it wasn't because the update did something [09:13] hmmm... gnome front end is better i think [09:13] brb [09:13] cowbud, thanks for the help. i'm going to google keepalive scripts. any pointers for that? [09:13] JDSBlueDevl: are you in the shiat now? [09:14] what? [09:14] nephlim: not off the top of my head, why are you trying to stay on? [09:14] JDSBlueDevl: are you in compiz now? [09:14] yes [09:14] what [09:14] well what whould u think is wrong cowdud [09:14] I have compiz running now [09:14] jdlizard: well tell me the nic and the version [09:14] what is your name? [09:14] compiz was running when I restarted X after the update as well [09:14] JDSBlueDevl: try gtk-window-decorator --replace in a terminal [09:15] that did the trick for a second, then the titlebars disappeared again [09:15] cowbud, because if i put it aside for longer than 20 min, i have to log back in. sometimes other projects get my attention [09:15] !codecs [09:15] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [09:15] nephlim: i'd complain to the sysadmin ;) [09:15] or SySop [09:15] what what old school [09:16] ndiswrapper 1.38 [09:16] jdlizard: the actual nic [09:16] cowbud, hehe. yeah [09:16] nic [09:16] jdlizard: like what is the name of the hardware [09:16] ? [09:16] lol [09:16] okl [09:16] wait, they probably make bbs clients right? [09:16] :) [09:16] is there a easy way to get the new intel graphics drivers? Besides compiling them yourself [09:16] hello [09:16] nephlim: if you are connecting with ssh then that is your bbs client :) [09:16] codehead: RARRR [09:16] something thirdparty that would have those options [09:16] westell usb 802.11g wireless adapter [09:16] like a GUI dealy [09:16] nephlim: doubtful but possible [09:17] I'd like to have a chat with people that have trouble having their 2nd core of AMD X2 enabled [09:17] anyone with similar headaches? [09:17] codehead: everyone with AMD [09:17] ok, in terminal, I get error Segmentation fault (core dumped) when trying to replace gtk-window-decorator [09:17] JDSBlueDevl: hrmm [09:17] JDSBlueDevl: is your drive full? :) [09:17] cowbud, that's the perception I got in the forums :) [09:17] far from it [09:17] JDSBlueDevl: what do you have in .xsession-errors? [09:17] just wondering if there's any hope :) [09:17] and now my GNOME taskbars disappeared [09:18] JDSBlueDevl: killall -9 gnome-panel in a terminal that will pop back up [09:18] anyone having difficult fetching packages from medibuntu rite now? [09:18] Oh yeah, also, can anyone recommend a program to batch convert large numbers of PDF/RTF/LIT to Text? [09:18] no, it isn't popping back up [09:18] Indephysis: pdf2text [09:18] forget lit [09:18] does anybody know how to fix this problem..... my native linux games in ubuntu 7.10 minimise to a small window during gameplay and will not let you do anything. any fixes? [09:18] abiword will do rtf [09:19] abiword will do MULTIPLE rtfs at a time? [09:19] Evanlec, same here [09:19] Indephysis: yeah you can do command line with it [09:19] buttercups, gayness! [09:19] I forget how but I know you can [09:19] I had to write a shell script to get pdf2text, and it's sort of irritating on syntax [09:19] ok, I keep getting multiple errors saying "Attempt to draw a drawable with depth 24 to a drawable with depth 32" [09:19] like/,/ a/ file/ needing/ to/ be/ like/ this.pdf [09:19] Indephysis: for i in `ls *.pdf`; do pdf2text $i $i.txt; done [09:20] Indephysis: perl will own that [09:20] i always thought the deskbar applet could have a search area right on the panel. but mine only opens up a search window when i click on the icon... and i can't find anything in the preferences. how would i change it? [09:20] :( I don't wanna learn perl though, I guess i'll try though [09:20] or "$i" "$i.txt" [09:20] perl is easy and quick man [09:20] :) [09:20] JDSBlueDevl: exactly i.e. you are at 32 :) what what [09:20] sorry jumping right in here, i heard Python/Perl are the best languages to start with [09:20] if your going to learn programming anyway [09:21] JDSBlueDevl: paste that badness to the paste in the topic and ill read through that [09:21] what's the command for re-executing fstab at runtime? [09:21] yeah I was gonna head for C++, I guess I'll go to the offtopic though for this to continue [09:21] does anybody know how to fix this problem..... my native linux games in ubuntu 7.10 minimise to a small window during gameplay and will not let you do anything. any fixes? [09:21] inimitable1: Perl is quicker to learn python is better for more strucutured programming [09:21] well, I can't even click on Firefox right now, b/c the gnome panel bars aren't popping back up [09:21] Indephysis: check this [09:21] but i don't know much about programming or linux/unix at all, i just installed Ubuntu today wheni got off work [09:22] when i ** [09:22] how do I get them back? [09:22] basically im looking to further my comp. knowledge and programming experience [09:22] i been on windows all my life, and most programming experience ive had was on good ol' Qbasic [09:23] and creating batch files in ms-dos that just ruined someones file system that i didn't like [09:23] how do I get the gnome-panel back? [09:23] how to set a password while compressing a file [09:23] lol [09:23] so far i really like this though [09:23] i tried to get into linux a couple years ago [09:23] i think the distro was sorcerer [09:24] it was just way to complicated/time consuming for me [09:24] inimitable1: I think starting with Java (or C# through mono) is probably the best starting point for somebody in this day and age... They've got great Object Orientated approaches and they both use a similar syntax to C (which will put you in good stead if you want to branch out to C++ later on) [09:24] hmm [09:24] does anybody know how to fix this problem..... my native linux games in ubuntu 7.10 minimise to a small window during gameplay and will not let you do anything. any fixes?

[09:45] cowbud, rythmbox seems to play the audio (I can hear sound...), but it does not allow me to skip individual tracks (the .cue stuff) [09:46] oh, sorry [09:46] cowbud: metacity --replace put the title bars back, but that disabled compiz [09:46] JDSBlueDevl: right [09:46] ok, so how do I go about fixing things?

[09:49] all offa sudden the computer stops responding [09:49] JDSBlueDevl: yeah cause it isn't in /etc/sudoers [09:50] cowbud: checked it.. but 5, +, and 0 are the only keys that seem to respond and they're all right click [09:50] cant remember that happening using 7.04 [09:50] cowbud as far as i can tell it was just a minor glitch atm as i can see its fixed [09:50] ok, I'm in root now [09:50] doesnt ubuntu use .Xdefaults for standard things as terminalconfiguration (for aterm in this case) like other distros do? [09:50] unikon: huh weird [09:50] yes, ubuntu-desktop is installed [09:50] JDSBlueDevl: aptitude install gnome-compiz-manager [09:51] ok [09:51] atlas95, no wait, smartctl still comes up: Device: ATA ST980813AS Version: 3.AD [09:51] unikon: - doesn't work eh?

[09:56] i dont use Xubuntu atm, not after i upgraded to 7.10 [09:56] hello. can someone help with a vido card problem? [09:56] Indephysis: if it handles dri, you can load the module dri in xorg.conf [09:56] that's the thing, I don't know if it handles dri :o [09:56] JDSBlueDevl: hrmm weird.. [09:56] It's a Riva TNT2, I believe [09:57] im getting jerky video playback/animations, how do i fix it? (using an ati x1300) [09:57] What's the easiest way to check [09:57] Indephysis: well, backup your xorg, have it load DRI, if it breaks X, re-load the xorg [09:57] Easiest? google. [09:57] * Indephysis googles [09:57] is it possible to make different user accounts each with its own look? [09:58] JDSBlueDevl: that is weird are you sure no settings were changed? [09:58] I'm positive [09:58] zetheroo: yep [09:58] im getting jerky video screen animations, how do i fix it? (using an ati x1300) [09:59] JDSBlueDevl: i'd have to say im stumped.. [09:59] well, I'm logging back into main acct now, just for the hell of it, and I get another error message: Error activating XKB configuration [09:59] MilitantPotato: so is it just a matter of creating another user and loggin in and making the look you want?

[10:02] that error is specific to the main acct [10:02] JDSBlueDevl: well xprop shows window properties and -root shows all kinds o crazy stuff about different x properties [10:02] ok, so I should look at that in the failsafe terminal? [10:02] JDSBlueDevl: I wouldn't bother [10:02] hi, how can i switch the tabs in konqueror using a shortcut like (CTRL+TAB)? [10:03] the xkb thing is usually X detects something different than what gnome's set to use as far as a keyboard [10:03] so, what do I do? I can't even access the desktop [10:03] JDSBlueDevl: ctrl-alt-backspace [10:03] ok, did that, back at the login screen [10:03] now what? [10:03] now login [10:03] same error [10:03] you can't just click OK? [10:04] ok i am trying to change my AP to non-broadcast but i cant see to connect to it.. any ideas? [10:04] and this is specific to the account, b/c with the new one, I don't get this [10:04] I can click close and bring up a black screen [10:04] zhanx: What exactly are you trying to do? [10:04] JDSBlueDevl: this is just the xkb warning? [10:04] cause that shouldn't stop you from logging in [10:04] welcome poripori [10:04] yes [10:05] I'm giving you what was on my screen [10:05] connect to my wireless router. with-out the broadcast ssid turned on. but ubuntu doesn't want to connect === frederic185 is now known as frederick85 [10:05] JDSBlueDevl: when is the last time you rebootged (yes I know bad for linux) but im not at the desktop a reboot helps in that case :) [10:05] probably an hour ago [10:05] should I reboot? [10:05] zhanx: connect to other wireless network [10:05] JDSBlueDevl: yeah go for it [10:05] cowbud: actually if you've done some pretty far-reaching changes, you do need to rebooot [10:05] hard boot (reset button) or soft boot? [10:05] Hi, I would like to roll firefox back to a version that worked [10:05] gordonjcp: yeah if you updated the kernel that's it [10:05] zhanx: why don't you want broadcast ssid on? [10:06] something around dapper worked [10:06] zhanx: why not just turn off the AP, if you don't want it broadcasting an ssid? [10:06] morning ;) I am capturing a crash with gdb. nautilus-dbg and libglib2-dbg are installed but I can only see nautilus symbols in the trace. any ideas? [10:06] now I have huge memory leaks regular lock-ups [10:06] aa_: and how many extensions are you using? [10:06] aa_: what add-ons are you using? [10:06] * cowbud smiles at gordonjcp [10:06] if one was booted up on a live cd for a system that wouldnt boot, how would they go about checking partitions [10:06] gordonjcp, i use the AP for my printer (which only supports wep) and my laptop. and i live in a complex and i get tired of leechers [10:07] cowbud: heh [10:07] fdisk says none of my devices exist [10:07] zhanx: and how will turning off ssid broadcast help? [10:07] zhanx: if they can crack wep they can find your AP [10:07] zhanx: that way nothing will be able to connect to it [10:07] cowbud, gordonjcp : 1 exetnsion: Firebug in disabled mode [10:07] LadyNikon: try gparted, the GNome partitioning tool [10:07] help needed with graphics. My desktop is not adjusted to the monitor. Some of it is out of the screen. Maybe wrong with driver?? Anyone can guide me to fix it please?? [10:08] doh.. i forgot.. reguardless if its on or off they can still see the traffic.. [10:08] how can I use Live CD in 'save' mode? [10:08] aa_: hrmm and how are you ascertaining the fact that it is dying due to memory locks? [10:08] zhanx: turning off ssid doesn't work [10:08] zhanx: they can find out the name also right away.. [10:08] Lapinux: : try gparted, the GNome partitioning tool [10:08] zhanx: if it ever does work, then it's purely by chance [10:08] only time turning off SSID is useful is when you have 324234 APs with the same name [10:08] for network coverage that way windows doesn't go nuts [10:09] POE time for the AP then so i can put it [10:09] cowbud: and clients that actually work with ssid turned off [10:09] cowbud quick question [10:09] gordonjcp: that to [10:09] * greencookie dozes off... [10:09] cowbud: very few cards and drivers won't totally keech themselves at a lack of ssid [10:09] gordonjcp: keech eh [10:09] this is a prism 2 card wil linux-wlan work [10:09] jdlizard: yes [10:09] hello? [10:10] how do u start this after the install [10:10] cowbud: reboot worked, now back at desktop [10:10] hi, logan [10:10] Ubuntu live cd stopps responding... is there a save mode? [10:10] jdlizard: prism 2 cards are supported by *everything*, have fantastic RF strips, and often have external antenna connectors [10:10] and titlebars back [10:10] JDSBlueDevl: hell yah, odd I am sure some process was hanging around glad to hear, you got everything AWESOME man! [10:10] I don't know how they came back, they came back [10:10] L0GAN: Yes, try using safe graphics mode. [10:10] yeah, and I only wasted 2 hours that I should be sleeping [10:10] jdlizard: if you're happy enough with 11Mbps then they're fantastic cards [10:10] JDSBlueDevl: :) just as a side note, linux doesn't need reboots like windows. You just have to know what to kill to get it back up [10:10] which can be tricky [10:10] it's 5 o'clock in the f'n morning here! [10:10] L0GAN: If you are unable to use the LiveCD try installing using the alternate disc. [10:11] yeah i could live with 11mbs [10:11] as long as it works [10:11] lol [10:11] yeah, but it seemed like endless reboots fixed it [10:11] JDSBlueDevl: indeed well all and all im glad it is back up :) [10:11] anyways, gotta sleep, maybe I'll wake up before the Dolphins play at 1 PM [10:11] JDSBlueDevl: haha sleep well [10:11] i installed the driver how do i use it [10:11] gordonjcp, i guess i go wired for now cause changing my AP to only certain macs doesnt help.. [10:12] why does drag&drop from file roller work on xfce's filebrowser but not with nautilus? any way to get it working? [10:12] hello all [10:12] i need help yo [10:12] zhanx: why doesn't setting WEP help? [10:12] what's the "ubuntu" way to configure xorg in gutsy? [10:12] WEP is setup [10:12] !ask [10:12] Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [10:12] what what [10:12] zhanx: ah, are they cracking your WEP key? [10:12] gordonjcp how do i start the linux0wlan drive [10:12] jburd I encountered same problem with various distros. If live cd stops after some time after it was booted how would install fair any better? [10:12] hey guys i was instaling something and it showed me this error ..make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [10:12] - [10:12] yep and cloneing the printer [10:13] zhanx: yah mac filtering doesn't work well either :) [10:13] habluxa: 99% of the time that's because you didn't run ./configure [10:13] zhanx: no way to connect your printer via wired? [10:13] L0GAN: Try pressing Alt-F1 and tell us if you notice errors or problems. [10:13] jdlizard: no idea, I don't use Linux any more [10:13] your not in the directory habluxa [10:13] lol ok [10:13] jdlizard: not on my laptop anyway [10:13] ok [10:13] sampo--i did run the ./configure [10:13] gordonjcp: hi [10:13] I haven't used it on my laptop for about six or seven years ;-) [10:13] i have had np for a 1 year until gustyu [10:13] habluxa: did it fail? [10:13] : jburd when problem arises the OS stopps responding to everything, upto that point all is okay [10:13] sampo_v2: hello! [10:13] :) [10:14] cowbud, yea but, the great way my rooms are layed out in the country sucks. cause the cable connection is only in the bed and i hate wires [10:14] gordonjcp: i just upgraded to gutsy with .. expected results ;) [10:14] L0GAN: Well, press Alt-F1 before getting to that point. [10:14] zhanx: that sucks man, unfortunately WPA needs hardware updates and all the old hardware that doesn't support it scews us all [10:14] sampo_v2: fun isn't it [10:14] L0GAN: Try switching to difference VCs [10:14] cowbud, your right. i [10:14] gordonjcp: i fully expected to run into troubles [10:14] zhanx: hang on, wait wait [10:14] ok I try. [10:14] L0GAN: You will see background information that you otherwise cannot see. [10:15] zhanx: what's the printer btw? [10:15] gordonjcp: any idea what software the installer use sto configuure X? [10:15] cow--it didn't fail === adante_ is now known as adante [10:15] habluxa: what are you trying to compile? [10:15] zhanx: you're *only* using wifi for your printer? [10:15] cowbud--unreal3.2.7 [10:15] gordonjcp, no for my laptop and its a korean brand clone of an hp [10:15] zhanx: ah [10:16] habluxa: wtf is that? [10:16] irc? [10:16] serVer? [10:16] if memory serves.. [10:16] or the game? heh [10:16] cowbud--yea its irc server :) [10:16] hah waBam [10:16] zhanx: how about setting your laptop to a particular IP address, and firewalling outbound traffic from everything else? [10:16] habluxa: you run ./configure and it says blah blah Generating Makefiles ? [10:16] hi what could cause the screen of a tightvnc server to be blurry? my connection is through wifi [10:16] zhanx: better yet, just let people use your connection, but throttle it to 64kbps [10:16] cowbud--i fond another error ...checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [10:16] shagball: the wifi portion of your question causes that [10:16] zhanx: or, let them use your connection but sniff all their traffic [10:17] habluxa: aptitude install build-essential [10:17] gordonjcp, good idea. i will nat filter everything off the printer mac. [10:17] zhanx: and then steal their passwords [10:17] ahh i had the feeling i just wanted to make sure [10:17] thanks [10:17] zhanx: or http://www.ex-parrot.com/~pete/upside-down-ternet.html [10:17] cowbud--what went worng? [10:17] cowbud: ty [10:18] habluxa: well do you have build-essential installed? if not, you don't have a compiler :) [10:18] Hi! Is here a Kubuntu / Xubuntu user who can tell me whether the browsers send "Kubuntu" / "Xubuntu" or just "Ubuntu" as the HTTP_USER_AGENT?Hi! Is here a Kubuntu / Xubuntu user who can tell me whether the browsers send "Kubuntu" / "Xubuntu" or just "Ubuntu" as the HTTP_USER_AGENT? [10:18] cowbud-- i didn't ..where can i get it [10:18] gordonjcp, awsome, that is the solution right there. [10:18] argh, sorry for double pasting it [10:18] habluxa: either synaptic or type aptitude install build-essential on the command line [10:18] zhanx: obviously you'll need to exclude your laptop somehow [10:19] gordonjcp: lol [10:19] I want to use DRI. Should I switch to x.org from xfree86? [10:19] cowbud--i try it but still show me some error ....E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [10:19] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [10:20] habluxa: whoops sudo in front of that :) [10:20] habluxa, do you have a update window open, or synaptic? [10:20] hey, I need some help. I tried running windows virtualized in ubuntu, but it gave me the error message: "Opposites don't attract." [10:20] gordonjcp: i love it how the xorg GUI tool in gutsy has a "generic LLCD for 1920x12000", but after selecting it the available resolutions in the drop down button has resolutions up to 1600x1200 ;) [10:20] RandomPerson: haha [10:20] indep--yes [10:21] logged in via ubuntu [10:21] alt-f1 only shows application menu open [10:21] I used save graphics mode this time [10:21] hablusa you have to close the other package thing [10:22] Because right now that program's using it [10:22] Also: Is Ubuntu default using Xfree86 or Xorg? [10:22] xorg [10:22] unless you are using a really old version of ubuntu [10:22] does any distro still use xfree86? [10:22] now I wait untill ubuntu stops responding again [10:22] sampo_v2: it's a total mess [10:23] :s I really don't know [10:23] gordonjcp: i'm currently without dri, my screen refresh rate is pretty fun too ;) [10:23] How can I save firefox pages html including the contents of forms i have filled? [10:24] is there an update to the 7.10 live cd ? [10:24] cowbud: I am not. It's dying AND it's having memory leaks [10:24] sampo_v2: without the nvidia binary drivers, I basically can't use -rt audio [10:24] :) back [10:24] tuntun: I don't think you can [10:24] tuntun: What exactly are you trying to do? [10:24] hello [10:24] gordonjcp: thatt's why i got my laptop with intel graphics [10:25] cowbud: say I wanted to purchase 10 $200 machines from walmart and form a cluster from them...how would I go about that with ubuntu? [10:25] gordonjcp: do you have any idea what prorgam is used in ubuntu to do the basic configuration for xorg? [10:25] will non-free flash plugin be supported by default for firefox plugins again like it was in 7.04? [10:25] RandomPerson: beowulf more a linux thing though not ubuntu [10:25] sampo_v2: nope [10:25] or can I change my live cd to revert that change? [10:25] RandomPerson: google for "linux clustering" [10:26] cowbud: I think beowulf is pretty obsolete now ;-) [10:26] gordonjcp: really what took that badness over? [10:26] I'd think so [10:26] beowulf is a new movie [10:26] cowbud: aw, loads of different things [10:26] RandomPerson: that's basically how clusters work though [10:26] gordonjcp: huh yeah never ran that [10:26] :) [10:26] Hi all, I think I have discovered a bug in firefox but I'm not sure. When I click on a .torrent file - firefox always opens azureus. There is no mention of .torrent in about:config or in Preference/Content/File Types [10:26] I give vbery qualified advice though [10:26] hahha [10:27] cowbud: I had a four machine Beowulf cluster in about 1999 [10:27] gordonjcp: how did that work out? [10:27] hi [10:27] I am wondering if maybe my configuration is corrupted somehow... :| [10:27] azureus??? :O [10:27] thats bad [10:27] cowbud: it was pretty cool actually [10:27] Where is modules.conf? I'm looking for it while installing dri [10:27] some java thing [10:27] cowbud: writing cluster-aware proggies was tricky [10:27] !dualboot [10:27] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [10:27] L0GAN: I know - I'm trying to stop firefox from using it [10:27] Indephysis: why are you having to install dri? [10:27] gordonjcp: eg google page save it including the search string, i tried the "web developer" extension [10:27] gordonjcp: I bet [10:27] cowbud: now my PDA is probably faster than the whole cluster [10:27] because it's not working? :o [10:27] or at least gl desktop won't [10:28] madspin sorry, I had deinstalled it and still has some links to it somewhere [10:28] tuntun: yeah, I'm not sure you can do that, although I can't see a good reason why not [10:28] bad java :) [10:28] tuntun: why are you trying to do that? Is there a better way to solve the problem? [10:28] Indephysis: glxinfo shows nothing>? [10:28] L0GAN: it is finding azureus somehow, I just can't see it anywhere in the normal places [10:28] and dri is out dated.. [10:28] Hi, I can't connect to my wireless router with Gutsy Gibbon. [10:28] it's showing stuff, yeah [10:28] madspin maybe in some browser cashe? [10:28] it just.. isn't working :o [10:29] I'm unfamiliar with Ubuntu, so is there a special procedure to connect to my network? [10:29] Indephysis: and glxgears does that go fast? [10:29] thanks, bye all [10:29] like 3k fps ? [10:29] 222.500 :o [10:29] Rainpoint: depends on how you are going about it [10:29] er, wait [10:29] Indephysis: so GL is working [10:29] Explain. [10:29] L0GAN: I just rgrepped my profile dir [10:29] L0GAN: mzabuyhg.default/mimeTypes.rdf: NC:path="/usr/local/bin/azureus" [10:29] Rainpoint: wifi wireless etc [10:29] 239.. yeah it's working but gl desktop isn't :9 [10:29] L0GAN: ;) [10:29] what is wrong when after ubuntu starts my monitor goes black. Gets restored when presing alt-tab [10:29] where in the deskbar applet does one choose to have a search area in the panel or not? [10:29] cowbud: / RandomPerson - I'm planning on getting some of the 150 quid Tesco PCs and basically just giving away the 80G drives and fitting a bunch of 320G drives and decent network cards inside [10:29] gordonjcp: to save the form information without having to take a screenshot of it, so i can just copy and paste, i wouldnt want to use an auto-form-filler. [10:29] Indephysis: is your default depth set to higher than 24? [10:30] its a wirelesss router inside my house. [10:30] tuntun: ah [10:30] I don't know where to find the default depth. [10:30] Rainpoint: so do you have linux booted up? [10:30] No, not right now. [10:30] I'm using Vista atm [10:30] madspins I was about to delete all including all java lol [10:30] Indephysis: at the command line grep -i defaultdepth /etc/X11/xorg.conf [10:30] what does that return? [10:30] tuntun: I think an auto form filler is the way to go, to be honest [10:30] Rainpoint: basically you have an applet in the corner where you click and select your wireless adapter.. [10:30] defaultdepth is at 24 [10:30] Rainpoint: assuming your wireless card is supported [10:30] Indephysis: hrmm [10:31] Indephysis: alright lets go for broke :) in a terminal type compiz --replace [10:31] Provide a link for supported cards, please. [10:31] Rainpoint: www.google.com [10:31] Thanks. [10:31] np [10:31] gordonjcp, going for your own home cluster / storage system [10:31] Want me to paste what just popped up in a pm? [10:31] Rainpoint: if you know your card search for Cardname ubuntu will pretty much tell you [10:31] Indephysis: sure but to the website [10:31] gordonjcp: well i would need to use it across multiple os's, but i don't really need to solve the problem right now... [10:32] hi [10:32] zhanx: yeah [10:32] hello everybody, are there people here having a freeze problem on ubuntu ? [10:32] zhanx: I do a lot of audio and video work, and my fianceé does a lot of digital and chemical photography [10:32] zhanx: so we're constantly bashing big files around [10:32] Yes, esox.. With the mouse and keyboard [10:32] cowbud--thanks bro its working now [10:32] gordonjcp, sweet, giganet? [10:32] habluxa: righteous [10:32] zhanx: oh yeah [10:33] Main reason I'm still using Windows right now, I wanted to switch for good the other day [10:33] ke : and the applications gets grey ? [10:33] Nah [10:33] Well, sort of another freeze [10:33] I can move the mouse but I can't click anything [10:33] gordonjcp, even better. when i get back home i am updating mine and grabing a from more cheap computers for it [10:33] cowbud----i will get back to you if i have any problem again :) [10:33] zhanx: basically she has specced gig ethernet on cat 6e for later expansion to 10G on copper, and a 4TB NAS [10:33] habluxa: sounds good [10:33] cowbud--thanks a lot bro [10:33] why does plugin finder not allow flash to be installed??? [10:33] no worries [10:34] gordonjcp, got to love that woman [10:34] "can not find 'flashplugin-nonfree' [10:34] zhanx: indeed [10:34] zhanx: I reckon a SAN is the way to go though [10:34] gordonjcp, SAN? [10:34] a SAN or a NAS [10:34] hah [10:34] can I download a fix somewhere? [10:34] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44989/ there it is, cowbud [10:35] zhanx: 'cos we both use Linux boxes for 99.9% of our work so we can just bang AoE on with its own gig ethernet adaptor [10:35] or should I go back using Ubuntu 7.04 [10:35] ke : my problem is the following, sometimes an application becomes grey, I cant access it for a few seconds and then everything is normal again [10:35] L0GAN: 64-bit? [10:35] gordon nope [10:35] L0GAN: that's odd, I'm using flash here [10:35] gordonjcp: just 32 but live cd [10:36] Indephysis: what's your card? [10:36] it shows gnash and flash but refuses to intall any [10:36] L0GAN: I had that problem installing flash trough firefox, installing flashplugin-nonfree trough synaptic worked like a charm [10:36] L0GAN: dunno then, I'm using a "real" install [10:36] gordonjcp, i use 8 emachines in a cluster, with 200 hd's, thinking of the fastest way.. fiber... [10:36] theres a gig in there somewhere [10:36] zhanx: wait for 10G Ethernet to become a commodity product [10:36] blah fiber is a waste in that situation [10:36] copper is fine [10:36] modu: could I make it like ubuntu 7.04 who did it correct? [10:36] zhanx: you can get it now but it's still expensive and specialised [10:37] L0GAN: I dont know, first day on ubuntu for me [10:37] zhanx: give it another year, and 10G on copper will be down to >£100 per card [10:37] modu: ah ok [10:37] good luck then :) [10:37] FINALL!

[10:55] pipegeek: why are you using xgl with nvidia?? [10:55] erUSUL: ought I not to be? I want to enable compiz fusion. [10:56] pipegeek: no, nvidia supports the built-in (and superior) aiglx extension of the normal xserver-xorg [10:56] hmm.... but does that need to be installed separately? [10:56] unreal how much easier the ubuntu install goes than the suse [10:56] compiz refused to start, because it couldn't find xgl === iblicf is now known as bot1 [10:57] pipegeek: enabling compiz was just a matter of selecting it in System>Pref>Appearance once the driver was instaled [10:57] erUSUL: no it wasn't. [10:57] pipegeek: did you instaled the nvida drivers? === bot1 is now known as A007 [10:57] erUSUL: I did. glxgears was fine. compiz wouldn't start. And when I ran it from the command line, it complained that xgl wasn't present.

[10:59] pipegeek: have you taken a look at your xorg.conf? maybe something is missing there compared to the gforce3 one [10:59] anyone know how i can make compiz use the normal metacity window decorator? instead of emerald? [10:59] can I safely share /home partition (with the same user name) between two distributions of linux? [11:00] Tarkus: it does so by default (you have to install emerald). just remove emerald [11:00] erUSUL: that's what I'm doing now.

But, can it just be downloaded and installed onto a PC? or do i have to buy a new pc for it? and is it free to get somewhere? or is that illegal?
