The monitor is a generic LCD [00:23] installing pine via .deb file, but dependence failed on libssl.so.0.9.7, is there a workaround? thanks [00:24] installing-mytht: do you know which video card you have? if not that is fine - we can use the generic method [00:24] choudesh : i don't think its using cifs I thinks its using SMB. [00:24] * Dr_willis never did notice the original question. [00:24] sam_: okay. Perhaps what you need to do is contact the developers -- they'll be interested since this is a regression (failure after upgrade). [00:24] Mcavity: I just sym link samba, so it thinks it is samba but I changed the cifs mod to handle stuff from nautilus [00:24] choudesh : if I manually mount the share using pyNeighborhood and tell it to use CIFS it runs much faster. [00:25] nevermind [00:25] Is there any reason why tracker doesn't work on gutsy? [00:25] choudesh: I'm afraid not.. [00:25] how to format an usb-stick with udf? [00:25] Mcavity: hmm..

Tracker works on gutsy [00:25] installing-mytht: think should bring the gamma a bit - if you see no change then it isn't a gamma problem [00:25] i tried cd /home/shawn/desktop..and it idnt work [00:26] soundray: Not for me, I type something simple in my home folder like "backgrounds.jpg" and it can't find that. [00:26] choudesh : humm that sounds like something interesting if i understand you right.. you manually told it how to mount? how did you do this?

System-Preferences-Indexing preferences [00:28] choudesh: huhI may be out of my depth.. but it sounds like the right track.. I'm on a gigabit network but my data transfer rates are 1/3 what they should be [00:28] installing-mytht: nevermind - that last thing won't work. [00:28] soundray: yes, I have indexing and watching enabled. [00:28] Mcavity: Yea I know. But if you sftp them - they are 3 times faster [00:28] choudesh: is there a document on how to do that? [00:28] choudesh: after the video directory I have no more files [00:28] Mcavity: if you sftp a file that is. neither samba or cifs have that much overhead. [00:29] jack-desktop: have you given it time to create an index? [00:29] soundray: well you were right, the memory shows up with a bunch of red... [00:29] Mcavity: If you want - you can send me an email and I can give you some directions. [00:29] soundray: is a month or two enough? [00:29] soundray: didn't even take hours of testing ! [00:29] choudesh: cool I'll do that [00:29] installing-mytht: yea - I kinda figured. play around with xgamma till you find a good setting. [00:29] forget it I am taking off studip [00:29] *studio [00:29] Mcavity: PM me for my email. [00:29] there seems to be no help for x64 [00:29] just install 32 [00:29] thenetduck: oh well, time to swap out modules. [00:30] i have a problem which i encountered with all distros. the sound in my laptop, i have 2 speakers and 1 woofer, the problem in linux that i have master for speakers and master mono for woofer, is there anyway to combine both instead of controlling each one on its own? [00:30] chouhesg: thanks,, I'll mess around with it, and I'll try to find out more about the drivers,, [00:30] jack-desktop: running all the time? [00:30] Mcavity: but it still doesn't explain why traffering from nautilus using cifs/smb is so damn slow and sftp is about 3 times faster [00:30] soundray: yes, it has been enabled since day 1, and I usually keep my computer on for days until a reboot [00:31] michom: not that i've ever found - you would hope that 'master' does it all but it doesn't [00:31] Mcavity: I even set the priority and affinity for ssh down and to only use 333mhz and it still if faster. So I am stumped. ;-) [00:31] choudesh: pm sent. I think. [new to xirc] [00:31] i think about territorial missing [00:31] Mcavity: I didn't get it. [00:31] maybe you should come as you are [00:31] murkyMurk: yes, that's the problem, i have to change both slides to get the sound like "normal" [00:31] i just installed ubuntu, i need some help installing my modem drivers and connecting to the internet (dialup) [00:31] Mcavity: choudeshell@gmail.com [00:31] choudesh: can you pm me? [00:32] got it [00:32] Mcavity: Really don't care if anyone has my email. Make it look like I am helping more people. ;-) [00:32] lol [00:32] michom: I think it's a 'feature' of ALSA sound. I certainly never had the problem with OSS. We just have to live with it I guess [00:32] Mcavity: or as Todd just said in PM - or it makes me look like I actually has friends. [00:32] murkyMurk: so your telling me that there's nothing i can do about it? [00:33] LOL [00:33] michom: what seems to be the issue? [00:33] I uploaded my music to Rythymbox, however all my songs are duplicated.. is there a way to filter doubles? [00:33] michom: no, I'm telling you that I've never found a solution. You could always ask ALSA direct, they may have an answer [00:33] Mcavity: I am copying over 1TB, so it gives me time tonight to help out a few people. [00:33] choudesh: my speakers and woofer in my laptop have different volume control, master and master mono, i want them combined [00:34] that might do it [00:34] hi. I'm on the gutsy live CD and got a promise fakeraid windows partition. I've installed dmraid and activated the raid set and it shows up in /dev/mapper. When i run the installer, it sees it as 2 seperate drives. How will i get it to set up grub properly if the installer isn't seeing the raid set? thanks.

[00:42] Hey, as a recent immigrant from SuSE to Ubuntu, one of the things I really miss a lot is the ability to select a particular kernel/OS/whatever from the reboot confirmation prompt.

[00:43] soundray: but i'll see if this beagle thing will work, thanks. [00:43] domor21: ok then your on the way to fixing it. [00:43] amir_: probably best to ask the rythymbox folks about that [00:43] maybeway36: that last thing worked [00:43] good [00:43] so it is probably a problem with compiz [00:43] amir_: quickest way is to remove all files and readd everthing [00:43] jack-desktop: as far as I understand it, they work hand-in-hand [00:43] Mcavity: how im a total newbie i had been using linux for 5 mins befoe this happened [00:43] my friend works at burgerworld, and he try to install ubuntu on his coffe machine [00:43] you could try getting rid of packages with "compiz" in the name [00:43] ok, maybeway36, thank you [00:43] then i rebooted and now [00:43] choudesh: :) I'd installed dmraid from the CD but the partitioner doesn't detect it unless it's mounted. (Why isn't dmraid on the CD by default? o.O) [00:43] domor21: you need to go to etc>x11>xorg.conf and edit that file [00:43] amir_ if im not mistaking rhytmbox uses a database to store the files, flush everything and add the files again [00:43] how can i help him?, it works now with billdos [00:44] ok how do i edit aht file [00:44] amir_: it's to do with the mp3 tags...if they aren't perfect then Rythmn box can get messy [00:44] everything is full in volume, and using totem player. but the volume isnt that high...

[00:44] I'm not sure what the decorum is for asking questions. Can I post a link to an ubuntuforums.org thread I have that never got a response?

[01:44] guspoja, windows first [01:44] I seem to be having a problem with startup. I just installed Ubuntu 7.10 and I keep getting a boot error during startup === ubuntu is now known as wirechief1 [01:44] i know that if you install windows after, it overwrites grub, but then I've had numerous instances where I get grub error 21 when installing ubuntu at a partition towards the end of a drive [01:44] gunspoja, windows first , pre-partition using gparged on the live cd, it will save you re partitioning when you install ubuntu [01:44] guspoja, other than that, it doesn't really matter, as long as you have 3 partitions, one for windows, one for ubuntu, and one for linux swap [01:45] gunspoja: windows first, allocating whatever you need for it and leaving the rest free. The ubuntu installer will install into the free space [01:45] Could anyone help me with Ubuntu 7.10 and my x800 pro, I'm trying to get the fglrx drivers working but I bootup with a black screen. I posted a thread on the ubuntu forums with what i've tried and my xorg.conf if anyones willing [01:45] I get the impression that grub wants to be at the start of the disk for some reason [01:45] I am only able to get in by putting in the install disc and going to the boot from hard drive 1 option [01:45] a friend of mine got completely turned off of ubuntu due to this problem actually [01:45] stupid error 21 [01:45] gunspoja: grub will install on mbr, master boot record, it is not on disk itself, but more like, on the disk's bios [01:45] yeah i know [01:45] I'm taking about the ubuntu partition, not grub [01:45] gnomelook44 , hmmm , sorry i do not know how to solve this , i would post the issue again , ask them hier , anybody have an expierience with such think may help u [01:45] gunspoja: rest shuld not matter at all ;) [01:46] can anyone here help me out getting a broadcom 4311 working on a fresh 7.10 install? [01:46] well, it obviously does [01:46] gunspoja, error 21 just means you need to edit menu.lst to point to the correct partiton for ubuntu [01:46] because I've had NUMEROUS times where grub error 21 occurs when the ubuntu partition isnt right at the start of the disk [01:46] gunspoja: grub is normally installed in /boot/grub on your / partition. the MBR is another thing and is usually installed on hda or hd0 as grub refers to it [01:46] Does anybody know how to fix a line in my awn manager [01:46] gunspoja, error 21 just means you need to edit menu.lst to point to the correct partiton for ubuntu [01:47] mosibfu, and why wouldnt it point at the correct partition in the first place? its just been installed [01:47] one would think that the installer would tell grub where the correct partition is [01:47] gunspoja: that i dont know, but i have had ubuntu on the last 20 gb of a 250 gb disk.. [01:47] instead of leaving it up to the user to manually fix their broken boot loader [01:48] mosibfu, yeah it doesnt always happen. sometimes it works, which is even more infuriating because its so inconsistent [01:48] gunspoja, usualy someone messed up with the number of partitons on the hdd or the boot order of the hdd with leaves grub a bit confused [01:48] ///win 6 [01:48] oops [01:48] murkymurk: well my microphone works now but it still only allows for microphone instead of all the channels [01:48] Pelo, no, it was a clean install of ubuntu in a partition after one where windows xp sits [01:48] is there a free program simular to vmware workstation that I can run on my Athlon 64 pc? [01:48] !wine | kanuha [01:48] kanuha: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [01:49] ahmad: fixed it lol! [01:49] eltux: wine is not even close to being like vmware [01:49] gunspoja, grub phase ones installs in the boot sector of the boot hdd, that is a must phase two is where ever the linux file system is [01:49] wiht is vmware?

[01:50] can some 1 help me with it? === willie__ is now known as Massmurder [01:50] [Gutsy]TuTUXG: who said I hated wine? just that when someone asks for something like vmware, wine certainly ain't it [01:50] massmurder, #winehq [01:50] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> rbil, vmware IS an emulator [01:51] gunspoja, boot from live cd, and use a text editor (started by sudo) then you can, without any problem, edit the menu.lst [01:51] is vmware better than wine? [01:51] [Gutsy]TuTUXG: certainly is not [01:51] domor, they are different things [01:51] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> domor, depends [01:51] gnomelook44 , aha , good info. [01:51] neither is unambiguously better than the other [01:51] domor, vmware is something totally different, you cannot compare the 2 [01:51] how to set password for zip files [01:51] mosibfu, yeah, I saw that one. I was hoping someone had some experience to share on which one to use. [01:51] What option do i need to put in fstab in order to keep nautilus from putting an icon in the Computer folder?

[01:59] how large should I set a swap partition to, with 2gb of ram? [01:59] Pelo: brand new on the one im having issues with [01:59] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> domor, i can install warhammer with wine [01:59] domor, it won't run windows apps from your windows install , you have to install the aps in wine [01:59] ahmad: using google to translate page =P [01:59] Pelo, thats not necessarily true [01:59] o ok [01:59] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> Pelo, u can, with some apps [01:59] Pelo: i have a ide drive as storage, it says its hdc, then i have 2 sata drives [01:59] Lapinux, just clean install it , it will be easier, the grub issue will take care of itself [01:59] I can run several windows apps that I have installed, from their root directories, quite easily [02:00] what other distro can someone recommend to me that is worth trying out? [02:00] gnomelook44 , u do not have to translate , just klick download [02:00] Pelo, ok i will try, but do you know the background of this issue, i assume thousands of people using mplayer on ubuntu ... [02:00] ahmad: umm what should i download the 0.4 or the 0.6? [02:00] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> Pelo, just copy the installed folder to wine's drive_c dir [02:00] Pelo: i dont think it will, it was a fresh install, and it didnt work [02:00] RaGzKiE: start from a live-cd, make a image of your ext2 partition, delete it, resize ntfs, play back your image [02:00] Lapinux, my recommendation is that you change the boot hdd in the bios to the hdd you will install ubuntu on before you install ubuntu [02:00] [Gutsy]TuTUXG, thats unnecessary [02:00] gnomelook44 , i was trying .4 [02:01] what does the swap partion do? [02:01] [Gutsy]TuTUXG, do not confuse the issue please [02:01] Pelo: it was set to sata, which is where i installed ubuntu [02:01] why do all you guys keep on saying that you can't run apps from their windows installs. yes you CNA [02:01] *CAN (lol) [02:01] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> gunspoja, right, if u can rw ur ntfs partition [02:01] Lapinux, unplug the storage hdd before proceeding you can add it to grub after ward [02:01] I mean add it to fstab [02:01] Pelo: i was going to reinstall without the ide drive hooked up, then hook it up later, am stil afaid it will mess up when i do hook it up [02:01] domor, memory extension [02:01] well, yea, why would you not rw the ntfs partition [02:02] o ok [02:02] domor: swap space stores data that would normally go into ram when the OS decides that it shouldn't [02:02] pelo: when you do dual boot where does grib go [02:02] like when the RAM is getting full [02:02] Lapinux, it shouldn'T not as long as it is not set as the boot hdd [02:02] Pelo: ? if its a storage drive, i wouldnt add it to grub ? [02:02] if you have no swap space, your RAM gets full, and a process wants to add data to ram, it can't and bad things happen [02:02] domor, grub is in two parts, phase one goes on the boot sector of the boot hdd, phase two goes in the ubuntu filesystem [02:02] no im saying where does GRUb get installed [02:03] ahmad: how do i install the tar.gz file? [02:03] Pelo: well my thought was the bios treats the ide's as the first drives and the sata after that, even though i tell it to boot sata first [02:03] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> in /boot [02:03] Lapinux, grub should only list OS not drives [02:03] how large should I set a swap partition to, with 2gb of ram? [02:04] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> 4 gb [02:04] gnomelook44 , from your terminal write tar -xzvf compiz....the full name [02:04] Lapinux,that might be a problem , if I understand what you mean correctly but at this point we are getting a bit over my head [02:04] :/ [02:04] gunspoja: 38.9 gig [02:04] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> theoretically [02:04] gunspoja: I have 2 gig ram, and I never use the swap partition [02:04] why 4gb? that seems like a fair bit [02:04] gunspoja: more than 2gb ... 3 would be fine [02:04] I've heard many times that the "2x your ram" rule is not very good [02:04] gunspoja: at 2g, you only need swap for hibernation [02:04] wouldn;t the bigger the swap the better [02:04] yeah unless you actually use the 2gb :P [02:04] How do I update individual programs, i.e. get the newest version of Gimp? [02:04] domor, no [02:04] Lapinux, leave the storage hdd in then, put it as boot hdd, in the bios and let phase one of grub install to it , that will solve the problem but you won't be able to boot fi you remove the storage hdd afterward [02:05] Could anyone help me with Ubuntu 7.10 and my x800 pro, I'm trying to get the fglrx drivers working but I bootup with a black screen. I posted a thread on the ubuntu forums with what i've tried and my xorg.conf if anyones willing? :( [02:05] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> gunspoja, right, but "theoretically" it should double the ram [02:05] domor, swap doesn't improve performance at all [02:05] [Gutsy]TuTUXG, why is that? [02:05] lost beryl, anyone know how to get it back on 7.04? Was working this afternooon, then shut down the machine, now after the reboot it will no longer load????? [02:05] gnomelook44 , then enter the new uncompressed compiz folder from the terminal , and write ./configure [02:05] gunspoja: with 2gb of RAM probably only use swap for hibernation, if u use that [02:05] gmw_, you would need to intall it from source or a deb files , you get those from the aps website, [02:05] meta4ical\: ive had the same problem twice im reinstalling ubuntu now [02:05] nah nobody ever uses hibernation :P [02:05] ahmad: didnt work [02:05] gmw_, gutsy already has the latest gimp [02:05] brian27015, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel [02:05] sorry [02:05] Pelo: yeah, i understand that [02:05] robjo: are you starting Beryl Manager?

[03:29] :( [03:29] ebuth, in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf right? [03:29] don_pucci - ibm thinkpads uaually work well with Linux [03:29] macd: yes sir [03:29] i install standard server system with: SAMBA + LAMP + OpenSSH [03:29] ebuth, couldn't hurt to add it, and restart apache2 [03:29] any lancard experts here? [03:30] how to fix if the /etc/rc.local hanging? [03:30] macd: my thoughts exactly [03:30] sethk is there anyway i can boot back into xserver fromcommand [03:30] squish102_: there you go that should do it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605&highlight=howto+samba [03:30] macd: hey, so if phpinfo() works, then my php is working? [03:30] domor, yes, you can reverse the same process, and run: telinit 3 [03:30] domor: startx [03:30] sethk, wihtout having to resatr my whole computer [03:30] ebuth - yup [03:30] shockwaver, it relies on google calendar though, you have to set one up online, then thunderbird with the necessary extensions will allow you to read and write to the google calendars, when normally you can only read them [03:30] CyberCod, goto a new terminal ++ and go look at /etc/rc.local [03:30] ebuth, that is correct [03:30] domor, there are several ways; you rarely have to restart any *nix [03:30] thanks CyberCod [03:31] i don't know if there are other better online calendar providors [03:31] which Barry package should I down load....I have an AMD 3500+ and the 64bit ubuntu http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=153722&package_id=170564&release_id=546292 [03:31] but probably, to be honest [03:31] macd, huh? [03:31] macd: why the heck is that working, but my inline php isn't? (e.g. echo 'hello';) [03:31] macd just a second [03:31] Does ubuntu have an easy way to get a list of all the files on a cd and save the list of file names and paths? [03:31] ebuth, I assume you have [03:31] the corerct tags? [03:31] AlanBShepard70: ls [03:32] macd: yep [03:32] AlanBShepard70, ls -lr /mnt/cdrom [03:32] can ubuntu use redhad NIC drivers? [03:32] AlanBShepard70, you can get the listing of a tree and all subtrees with: find /cdrom assuming it's on /cdrom [03:32] AlanBShepard70: probably something like ls /media/cdrom > output.txt [03:32] fenn, most likely not [03:32] fenn, yes and no [03:32] fenn, linux device drivers are typically all kernel modules, so as long as they are for the same kernel, sure. [03:32] AlanBShepard70, ls (by itself, with a recursive flag) only lists the current directory [03:32] macd: http://rafb.net/p/CHge7D70.html [03:32] macd there are some lines.. but there is # (commented), and there is exit 0 (not commented) [03:32] yes if you recompile them agains your Ubuntu kernel (if the kernel version is compatible [03:32] no otherwise [03:33] AlanBShepard70: See: man ls [03:33] CyberCod, gotcha, by chance if you just hit enter on your console that it boots to, does a login prompt appear? [03:33] the commented lines: #!/bin/sh -e # rc.local [03:33] davenull, I now have a completely fresh install of Gutsy, what's next? [03:33] OK thanks guys Ill try it out [03:33] #!/bin/sh -e is not commented, tis the shebang [03:33] I can't believe that RIM hasn't a Linux package [03:33] anyone know where to find a hosts list in gutsy? [03:33] Jimmi_Jones, good speed [03:33] macd - makers web site said REDHAT 8.0 - I guess I could poke around google for kernel version [03:33] macd lol! that works.. i just hit enter [03:33] anybody messed around with the AppleTV yet? [03:33] ebuth, yeah looks fine, what if you do a all php page and call it index.php ? does php work then? [03:33] macd thanks [03:34] davenull, it's a decent little laptop, core duo with a gig of ddr2 [03:34] CyberCod, your not the first one, don't feel bad ;) [03:34] RandomUsr: What do you mean? [03:34] fenn, better yet, what are you needing a driver for? [03:34] macd: please type CyberM before hitting tab ;) [03:34] davenull, I have a icon in the notification area saying that restricted drivers are available, should I go with that? [03:34] I didnt even know yall were different ;) sorry [03:34] you're confusing the heck outta me [03:34] usr13 I´m looking for a dns mapping file [03:34] Jimmi_Jones, yes, that is good [03:34] macd: Xterasys XN-2411B [03:34] lol [03:34] I am trying to either mount a .dmg file or convert it to a .iso. Can anybody help me out with this? [03:34] I need to back up my Berry soon I'm getting apranoid [03:35] usr13, kinda like the lmhosts in windows [03:35] davenull, updates first though, right? [03:35] shouldnt matter too much [03:35] where can one find a list of the applications that start up on boot and where to add an application to that startup list [03:35] anyone know a gui for "make"? [03:36] hi [03:36] macd: strange, a .php file works fine [03:36] fenn, supposedly that card works out of the box on Gutsy. [03:36] I have a problem with my notebook not coming out of suspend with gutsy [03:36] macd: Wireless LAN CardBus PC Card from Xterasys (modle XN-2411b) [03:36] RandomUsr: You are running dhcpd? And you want to see what other computers are connceted to your LAN? Is that correct? [03:36] ebuth, somethings up with inline php then, thats really odd to me [03:36] i am trying to remove google desktop from the startup and add kwikdisk [03:36] Jimmi_Jones, click on the driver check box in restricted manager first [03:36] I have an issue running a game using wine.... [03:37] Macd: Thx... I might have to burn a new ISO (where did you look that up?) [03:37] arch3angel, System>Preferences>Sessions [03:37] Dragnslcr, you can try here, but I think it better in #wine [03:37] Drake: Whats the issue? [03:37] thx brb [03:37] fenn, there are some forums posts with people saying it worked for them [03:37] usr13, no i´m using a router for dhcp but I don´t have a dns server to map beyound the router [03:37] I just lost an NTFS partition by accidentaly corrupting the partition table. What can I use to restore the original partitioning??? [03:38] davenull, enable firmware? I have done all this before, but didn't have any luck so I am asking all kinds of questions this time [03:38] i get an error saying a security module can not be activated.... [03:38] what does the switch -r do on ls command? [03:38] usr13 I have a couple switches and need to map host names manually [03:38] well, I guess there is no easy shortcut to using "make" :( guess I'll just have to study some more [03:38] recursive?\ [03:38] the game is neverwinter nights [03:38] macd how do i install the x window (like gnome), looks like by default ubuntu-server not install it.. [03:38] Jimmi_Jones, did an error pop up? [03:38] demon_spork: There's a utility called ntfsfix or ntfsrestore or the like; I forget exactly what it's called. Try google [03:38] macd: v cool - I could try and reinstall from CD - for some reason I thought it would be easier with OS installed [03:38] RandomUsr: Well, not sure what you are trying to do, but if you had dhcpd running, I think you could do: cat /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.info [03:38] i'm having trouble with gusty ans synaptic [03:38] and [03:38] davenull, nope, it says it is downloading the package files [03:38] demon_spork: what happened exactly? [03:38] Jangari: The ls -r switch is 'reverse'.. it reverse the order that the files are listed. -R is recursive [03:38] demon_spork: if all else fails, fdisk [03:39] ah, thanks [03:39] CyberMad, 'sudo apt-get install gdm' or use the ubuntu-desktop meta package [03:39] RandomUsr: You could do a broadcast ping. [03:39] hi I have a problem with my notebook not coming out of suspend with gutsy when i turn it back on i only get a blank screen [03:39] so ls -lR will return a full file tree [03:39] davenull, claims "successfully applied all changes." [03:39] Jangari: ls --help is a good thing to check out [03:39] usr13 would that map the hosts then? [03:39] Drake: did you follow http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=113259 [03:39] Jangari: It will return the recursive in list form, yes [03:39] RandomUsr: e.g. ping -b 192.168.1.0 [03:39] yeah, i'm on a windows machine atm [03:39] nrencoret, ati card? [03:39] nope nvidia... [03:39] RandomUsr: I don't know what "map the hosts" is. [03:39] CyberCod, if you intend to use it as a desktop also, you should install ubuntu-desktop, if you just want to manage it via a desktop then install just gnome [03:39] CyberCod, I used the windows recovery console and I tried to rewrite the MBR to ...\Partition1, which was my ubuntu partition [03:39] why bother reversing the list? [03:40] CyberMad, * [03:40] Jimmi_Jones, try running sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter as root from terminal [03:40] usr13, do you know what dns is? [03:40] macd what's that? only * [03:40] RandomUsr: Yes [03:40] hehe [03:40] davenull, o.k. when I close that box I get a "specify firmware location" box [03:40] I'm sure there is a use for it. but -R for recursive is pretty standard for switching .. rm -R, etc [03:40] RandomUsr: what does DNS have to do with hosts? [03:40] usr13, how do I accomplish that without a dns server? [03:40] buttercups: nope, nvidia, its and Alienware m5500 or Uniwill model P53IN [03:40] !HELP! [03:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about help! - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:40] demon_spork, could be that you just screwed up grub [03:40] hello i have just installed Ubuntu and i cant change the res above 800x600 with an Nvidia card [03:41] please help me w/t synaptic [03:41] need help with resolution, ATI 9200 card gutsy [03:41] can somebody hep please [03:41] xracer_, did you enable the nvidia restricted driver yet? [03:41] how do i "exit the X server and terminate all OpenGL applications" [03:41] yesi did [03:41] xracer_: Enable the drivers [03:41] Jimmi_Jones, it should have an option to download it [03:41] CyberCod, no, the windows partition is unaccessible === mattva01 is now known as mattva01|away [03:41] how do I blow away my keyring, cuz after I reinstalled my keyring pw doesn't work [03:41] RandomUsr: Not sure what you are trying to do. If you could explain a little better.... [03:41] xracer_: Did you restart X after you did it? [03:41] how do i "exit the X server and terminate all OpenGL applications" [03:41] yes [03:41] domor: CTRL+ALT+BCKSPC [03:42] I only had one or 2 pw's on it, so dont care about them. just need to be able to add to it [03:42] usr13, I want to reach nodes by their host name and NOT by their IP address [03:42] davenull, it does, just asking about everything like I said. BTW, firmware cutter 006 with a lot of other feedback below it in the cli [03:42] demon_spork: a couple disks might make it workable for you... try the Ultimate Boot CD, or the gparted live disk [03:42] they're both small iso's [03:42] hello, can someone help me to setup my s-video out, i have an ati igp 240m, or just point me to somewere usefull please [03:42] RandomUsr: Oh I see. [03:42] Hmmm, my sound card seems to be installed but it only makes White Noise ! [03:42] ust retarted [03:42] You can enter them in the hosts file. [03:42] on the how to it doesnt say what to add http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=113259 (step 1 [03:42] restarted it [03:42] thats 340m [03:42] usr13, but where is that? [03:42] davenull, downloaded, now what? [03:42] so yeah.. can anybody help me out with opening a .rar folder? or how to get a software to burn a cd onto linux? [03:42] Same way it is with MS windows [03:43] RandomUsr: /etc/hosts [03:43] how do i "exit the X server and terminate all OpenGL applications" so i can type a command to install a driver [03:43] CyberCod, I need to recover the ntfs partition itself, it is still listed as a partition in gparted but is unkown type and is unaccessible [03:43] usr13, thanks , im gonna look [03:43] RandomUsr: For each machine that you want to access them from. [03:43] domor, by pressing crtl+alt+backspace you already did. [03:43] macd that just restarted it [03:43] help me [03:43] i want to be ale to type commands [03:43] domor, then open a console. [03:43] open terminal [03:43] macd: how? [03:43] kaiijez: from the command line, you need to install unrar (sudo apt-get install unrar should do it), then you can just 'unrar filename.rar'. Also, once you install unrar, I believe the archive manager can handle them if you double click the file in a file browser [03:44] domor: you can switch to text mode then kill the X server [03:44] usr13, host.conf? [03:44] domor, Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal [03:44] is there a way to find a list of standard install ubuntu packages ? [03:44] I have Dual Monitors set up with Xinerama and everything works except that Compiz is disabled and I can't turn it back on. [03:44] macd: now what [03:44] how do i login as root? [03:44] demon_spork: kk.... then chances are you need to manually edit the partition table and change the entry for that to the number that corresponds with ntfs... this happened to me once before, but I ended up fixing it with a utility that came with Partition Magic in windows... I don't know how to fix it via Linux, sorry [03:44] Shadix, you don't [03:44] fenn: how [03:44] jcg, what graphics card do you have [03:44] RandomUsr: Just make an entry like: 192.168.1.5 linux.pinappe.hp [03:44] RandomUsr: /etc/hosts [03:44] can compiz handle multiple vertical workspaces? [03:44] Shadix, if you want to run commands as root, use sudo [03:44] Shadix: Boot into safe mode and login as root, and then type init 3 [03:44] Shadix: Not recommended though [03:45] RandomUsr: Just make an entry like: 192.168.1.5 linux.pinappe.hp linux [03:45] 6 workspaces rendered all over a cube would be very cool [03:45] CyberCod, it has happened to me before, but I can't remember the utility I used in linux to fix it [03:45] :-< [03:45] demon_spork: the linux command "dd" may hold the answer for you, but its really really dangerous to use [03:45] usr13 there are four host.* files [03:45] need help with resolution, ATI 9200 card gutsy [03:45] well i'm trying to ass something to my Source.list file and i can't save since it's owned y root [03:45] domor, logout, select session, choose text only then you can login to a terminal.

[03:45] RandomUsr: vim /etc/hosts [03:46] ok how do i log into a terminal when in tet mode [03:46] Jimmi_Jones, that should do it, click on the network icon in the sys tray [03:46] demon_spork, Nvidia GeForce Go 6100 [03:46] domor: ALT-F1 [03:46] domor, it will present you with a login prompt, if not your already logged in [03:46] jcg, have you considered using nvidia twinview rather than xinerama? [03:46] ok [03:46] later people... gotta sleep [03:46] usr13 I think I figured out that part [03:46] hi, I have problems with my notebook coming out of suspend, the screen simply doesn't start so i have no indication of what is going on [03:46] Anybody having trouble with Pidgin in Gutsy? [03:46] usr13, what´s the hosts.conf file? [03:46] davenull, I do that, but there is nothing under Wireless networks. Is my entire problem that I don't know how to connect to my open ap?

[03:47] demon_spork, Does it do the same thing a Xinerama? [03:47] Peddy, sometimes I notice it hogs cpu and seems to be locked up [03:47] what APT line do you have to add for neverwinter nights Diamond? [03:47] jcg, yes [03:47] domor, listen to macd [03:47] Jimmi_Jones, restart it [03:47] nrencoret: Check that the BIOS suspend is set to S3 [03:47] davenull, the machine?

I think it's a permissions issue but I don't know what needs to change or what to change it to [03:48] demon_spork, ok [03:48] which protocol?

[03:59] Saying "It says nothing", "It does nothing" is generally not very useful for troubleshooting. Please be as specific as possible: if you see a black screen, say so, if you see a shell prompt, say so, if you see an !error message, say so - Also, most !CLI commands don't print anything when they succeed, but only when they fail. [03:59] just a blinking thing where i can type [03:59] Jangari, did you view the post on Wine? [03:59] I have games like GTA: SA, NFS, StarCraft, ect [03:59] I run VMware to run a few programs that I can't get to work under Wine, Jangari, CS3 would work, but you'd probably want a decently powerful machine for the overhead of CS3 [03:59] Shadix: or sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.lst [03:59] Drake: what do you mean the best program for high end games? like Wine?

[03:59] Poz: DO you have a CD in it? [03:59] domor, switches to a new tty [03:59] yes [04:00] hey i'm having trouble with my server. It's set up as a gateway and it's suffering from SEVERE lag. it will send packets out to the connection (ppp0) and will then recieve them but it will pile them all up for a decent amount of time, and then send them all at once in large chunks. [04:00] macd: tty [04:00] Poz: Is it data or music or? [04:00] jpastore; yep I tried that ;) [04:00] Jangari? A virtual Hard drive? why do you need that?

[04:00] music cd [04:00] macd: ok im in my logon screen so should i log into txt mode [04:00] don't worry, i just dislike running virtual machines [04:00] Drake: there's nothing that's free that does all that wine does, besides wine [04:00] Poz: You can not mount a music CD. [04:00] i use the iptables configuration set up by the ipmasq package's scripts. [04:00] Jangari, You Don´t need a VHD to run Cs3 in Linux [04:00] domor, NO LISTEN THIS TIME [04:01] I am trying to mount it so that I can reformat it [04:01] i never said vhd [04:01] davenull, thanks, but the time I spend there is very busy until late at night every night, apt says it can't find wifiradar [04:01] Jangari, all you need is WINE [04:01] ahh [04:01] Drake: sometimes you have to pay to use them, because you paid to buy a windows game [04:01] macd: do i selcet 'failsafe terminal" from start session [04:01] my cd rom may be busted [04:01] please help me with the latest version of ubuntuy [04:01] i'll look into it, thanks RandomUsr [04:01] ahh so just stick to Wine.... [04:01] Poz: Music CD's do not have the same sort of filesystem that data CD's have. You don't mount music CD's, you "play" music CDs [04:01] domor, hit crtl+alt+f2 then login, then type 'sudo /etc/init.d/x11-common stop' then when that finishes install your driver. [04:01] Jangari, see winehq.oeg [04:01] Drake: the whole capitalist concept of 'voting with your money' [04:01] yes [04:01] thanks [04:01] ok [04:01] Can somone help me get into terminal with out xserver running so i can type commands to install driver [04:01] LOL [04:01] Drake: it either will work, quickly, or not work worth a flip [04:02] Jimmi_Jones, sorry wifi-radar [04:02] drizzt69, not doing anything? or did that command output some stuff to the screen?

(nvidia geforce mx4000) [04:02] macd: on logon screen "under sesions" do i seleck "failsafe terminal" or failsafe gnome [04:02] drizzt69, since you said you have a router, you have to forward a port on your router through to each machine you want to run bittorrent on, and assuming azureus uses the same default port on each installation, you would have to change azureus settings on each machine to be a different port, and forward each on your router [04:02] Poz: sd card? What is that? [04:03] domor, what driver are you installing? [04:03] jpastore; sorry, dont know the answer to that one.

[04:04] Poz, it's not sdhc is it? [04:04] domor, hit crtl+alt+f2 then login, then type 'sudo /etc/init.d/x11-common stop' then when that finishes install your driver. [04:04] macd, yeah the one in accessories [04:04] are the drivers supported in linux or have you ndiswrapper'd them? [04:04] macd, I thought you gave up [04:04] yes...they are supported...but i obviously did something wrong [04:04] kev51773, to copy from a terminal select and hit ctrl-ins [04:04] just an sd card out of the camera t get files [04:04] Poz: What version? ...You probably need to update your system.

Does VNC on ubuntu support it? [04:15] domor, you are doing good you found the IRC and you are asking questions. [04:15] astro76: : ( [04:15] drizzt69, what router do you have? [04:15] astro76: does this indicate a bad flash drive? [04:15] drizzt69, a linksys? [04:15] evening [04:16] davenull, have I exhausted you on this one? [04:16] fenn, i know but why can;t the driver in the restricted river manager just work [04:16] why can;t they fix it [04:16] does anyone know if there is a good program for ubuntu which enables a middle click function similar to that of mac's, (where you middle click, and all the open windows separate so you can see them all, and select which one you want from there?) [04:16] CyberMad, yes the ubuntu vnc client and server is fully compatible with the vnc protocol [04:16] what program do you use to create a passworded .rar/.zip file in ubuntu? [04:16] >> why my firefox keeps closing when i click some links? breezy/ff [04:16] Jimmi_Jones, i dont know, try reinstalling bcm43xx-fwcutter in synaptic, after that, ill give you my email, and go from there [04:16] macd: how do i exit this mode im in [04:16] help, my notebook doesn't come out of suspend, i get a flash the screen then it blanks out [04:16] astro76 does it support 2 different password, the 1st one for full controll and the 2nd is for viewer only ? [04:16] domor, macd tried ... sounds like you should try the UBUNTU drivers instead of the generic ones. [04:16] macd: so i can boot into xerver [04:17] benzs_s, not aware of any, but since passworded archive formats are worthless I wouldn't recommend it, if you need security encrypt with gpg [04:17] jpastore, its a 2wire for dsl [04:17] domor, crtl+alt+f7 [04:17] i've got samba running on my mac, but i can't seem to connect to it from ubuntu [04:17] !suspend [04:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about suspend - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:17] because my boss ask me to implement spy software for all employee's computer [04:17] domor, after you issue "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start' [04:17] it just says "can't find [the share]" [04:17] !hibernate [04:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about hibernate - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:17] domor, If you have X working open up firefox and google a bit, you might find what you are looking for. [04:17] is there something that i'm missing with the "connect to server tool" ? [04:18] >> why my firefox keeps closing when i click some links? breezy/ff [04:18] CyberMad, I don't think the gnome server does that, the client would support it of course [04:18] Everytime I open a new window or application it always opens up behind the top panel, rendering me incapable of being able to move the window down into the middle. Anyone come across this type of situation before? [04:18] drizzt69, not familar with that brand....if ti was linksys, dlink or netgear I could have walked you through it =) try this: open a terminal and type "route -n" you should have 1 entry that has a an ip otehr than 0.0.0.0 ... probably 192.168.1.1 ...put that address into a browser... [04:18] I have set up a folder to be shared over samba, but in xp when I try and look at the folders on my ubuntu machine it asks for a username and password, I put them in and it denies them. How can this be fixed? [04:18] BYE BYE MIGHT OCME BACK LATER AND TRY FIX IT [04:18] Pir8, hold the alt key and click on the window and try to grab it [04:18] astro76 but you know, what i mean, right? do you ever use tightvnc on windows? [04:18] drizzt69, likely you'll need a username and password...if it was never set try admin / admin [04:19] does anyone know if there is a good program for ubuntu which enables a middle click function similar to that of mac's, (where you middle click, and all the open windows separate so you can see them all, and select which one you want from there?) [04:19] we can set 2 password there [04:19] domor, or take a break and get a bite to eat, and a good night's sleep and try IRC again [04:19] CyberMad, yes [04:19] Pir8: Gnome? [04:19] usr13, aye [04:19] Hi, I'm having problems when my notebook resumes from suspend it flashes the screen for a second and then nothing shows on the screen and the notebook just stays there with a blank screen [04:19] demon_spork, neat! thanks for that trick ;) [04:19] CyberMad, again, the client would support it [04:19] drizzt69, once in your looking for a port forward section could also be labeled as NAT or REverse NAT or on linksys "applications and gaming" [04:19] Quick question, in 7.04 and below I was able to add more workspaces by right clicking the workspace switcher and make myself the "4" workspaces I use... I upgraded to 7.10 and cant seem to find where to do this? When I right click the workspace switcher, and say I have a 2x2 grid. The switcher shows 4x4, but I still can only access the default two. [04:19] * Kamandag >> need help here... my firefox keeps closing when i click some links? breezy/ff [04:20] Could someone please help me, I am trying to figure out if this flash drive is dead or if the partitions are completely fsked up : ( when I tried making a new partition in qtparted it gave me: critical error during ped_disk_new [04:20] drizzt69, from there you'll say forward port 8000 to port 8000 on your internal ip assigned to your computer [04:20] CyberMad, that's a feature of the tightvnc server, the gnome server only has one password, and you set whether it's view or full control [04:20] Pir8, are you using compiz-fusion? [04:20] demon_spork, aye. [04:20] I have set up a folder to be shared over samba, but in xp when I try and look at the folders on my ubuntu machine it asks for a username and password, I put them in and it denies them. How can this be fixed?

[04:22] does anyone know if there is a good program for ubuntu which enables a middle click function similar to that of mac's, (where you middle click, and all the open windows separate so you can see them all, and select which one you want from there?)

Kingmilo should be running Gutsy though [04:37] Most of it is just fluff that explains what is going on, but if you download the source, just enter the commands in the different formatted text [04:37] or should i create a user design for web pages and have that own that directory [04:37] DerangedDingo: thats correct, apt-get cannot find ccsm [04:37] hai [04:37] ./configure --with-boost=/usr --enable-gui --enable-opensync-plugin - etc etc [04:37] where can I find the sources.list file I have put in sudo gedit /ect/apt/sources.list and it show me a blank page.

[05:11] shockwaver: yep [05:11] why doesn't anyone help me? [05:11] ClericDelta: I recommend VLC. [05:11] MidnighToker: well I actually don't know which package to get. which one is it? [05:11] says command notfound [05:11] thanks [05:11] rubydiamond, not sure besides loading a page that calls those fonts and visually inspecting [05:11] Shadix: And what happened? Did everything work without an error? [05:11] ClericDelta: sorry, dont have a box to hand to go searching [05:11] Dr_H : where did you see that codec thing? [05:11] apparently in ubuntu there is an option in "Network Manager" that allows you to create new wireless network.. what does that mean? [05:11] Oh, I forgot to mention, the 'make install' command, you will need to do 'sudo make install', Shadix [05:12] ClericDelta: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/libs/avifile-divx-plugin (google `ubuntu divx`) [05:12] just when i tried to play a video file that needed a codec it popped up [05:12] hey guys [05:12] why doesn't anyone help me?

Thanks everybody. [05:13] hubbabubba: ok ur ganna nned to edit the xorg.conf file [05:13] hubbabubba: you might need to install some drivers and yeah the xorg.conf file [05:13] hubbabubba: what driver r u using? [05:13] Dr_H : using gutsy? [05:13] it"s ok [05:13] hubbabubba: try changing the screen settings to get access to different resolutions (i assume this is what ur after) [05:14] don't know [05:14] yes, but it also worked when i tried feisty a while ago i think [05:14] never did that for me... [05:14] anyway, i'm out [05:14] the last time I tried to install nvidia drivers it got just worse [05:14] what is the keyboard shortcut for deskbar applet [05:14] ?

[05:16] Just testing out xchat for the first time. Can someone reply with my name to see if I got the notifications setup correctly? [05:16] rubydiamond, right click, preferences on it [05:16] I could use a little help here please... I installed Gutsy in a computer that also has three NTFS partitioned drives. Gutsy mounts the drives automatically just fine but when I try to share those NTFS drives using Samba it does not work. It always shows the share as /home/user/ [05:16] If I try to manually select the volume, I get this error... "Error org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy." [05:16] rubydiamond, you can check/change it [05:16] Screen flickers on resume from suspension and hibernation fails to respond. Should I try with APM over ACPI? [05:16] is there any way to bypass GRUB when i boot and just go straight into my other os beacuse GURB is failing to load ? [05:16] You need to run the last command after you have doxygen installed: cd src && doxygen [05:17] BigDaddy, hey there BigDaddy [05:17] Can anyone assist me with this cursed wireless? For some reason, ever since I installed Gutsy, my wifi card (TEW-421PC B1) refuses to work with Kubuntu, or vice a versa. Now don't get me wrong- my card worked perfectly in Edgy and Feisty, and I have the latest ndiswrapper-commons and utils packages as well as the driver installed. Under KNetworkManager, it says "No active devices" and I can't even locate wlan0 as an interface. [05:17] ScX_Tyler, no you need a bootloader, what is the other os? [05:17] ScX_Tyler: grub is your bootloader, you cannot just bypass it [05:17] hubbabubba: if u screw this up ull end up running linux w/ out X [05:17] astro76, thanx [05:17] hubbabubba: as no graphic server dos style [05:17] You may need to do that with sudo.. I have no idea [05:17] techzilla: it can be a nice place [05:17] ScX_Tyler: you can use Lilo if that works better for you, but AFAIK you do need a bootloader [05:17] eckesicle: thanks. I must not have something right. [05:17] damnit [05:17] MidnighToker: only if you're comfortable with the terminal [05:17] midnighttoker: i know but for a n00b its a scary place [05:17] Would someone please make a linux version of Roboform...

[05:18] Kamandag: Opera.com [05:18] Kamandag: is it not in synaptic? [05:18] whats the syntax to mount a floppy to /media/fdd1/ ? [05:18] oh, by AFAIK i meant As Far As I Know [05:18] anyone know whats the difference is between open system and shared key authentication? [05:18] anyone know if u can just edit this file on the fly? /boot/config-2.6.22-14-generic [05:18] midnighttoker: well i manage linus ervers fopr aliving so cli is my prefered way of doing things [05:18] Kamandag: They have an official deb I believe on the site for Linux [05:18] MidnighToker: So would I, but unfortunately, Ubuntu's tagline doesn't support our view lol. [05:18] I would like to know how to configure startup services in ubuntu? how do I add/delete services at startup? I know about sysv-rc-conf; but came to know that's the old style! [05:18] aeGIs, that you? [05:18] Kamandag: sudo apt-get install opera [05:18] astro76, do u know any very good gui client for MySql on ubuntu? [05:18] Bricker: yup [05:19] ahoy ahoy [05:19] but as for Lilo, im not sure myself but a search around the forums will probably find it [05:19] Does Gutsy have support for UDF 2.5 filesystem built-in, or does that need to be installed separately? [05:19] gonna go fix my ubuntu [05:19] bbl [05:19] rubydiamond, phpMyAdmin [05:19] Hi, after suspending my laptop my smb-mount doesnt work, if I do 'umount /media/upload' I just get 'umount: /media/upload: device is busy', same thing if I use the force-flag. I have also grpped ps aux and lsof after 'upload' and nothing there to kill, any ideas? [05:19] LancerDragoon: yeah, its true, gentoo bunny at heart, but started dumping my users onto ubuntu instead of Windaz, so i've started hanging out here... its scary [05:20] astro76, I have installed apache in usr/local downloading and compiling [05:20] now How can I setup phpmyadmin in it [05:20] MidnighToker: Never tried Gentoo myself, but CLI's the real meat in Linux. [05:20] rubydiamond: For something that is local, there is mysql-admin and mysql-client, both pretty good [05:20] shockwaver: done that but now how to i start the app or where do I enter the commandline tools [05:20] rubydiamond, you can install both through Ubuntu's package manager, otherwise you might want to ask in #apache [05:20] LancerDragoon: you'd like it, the installer is a liveCD and all the docs you need to do a cli install.... like a scripted LFS [05:20] shockwaver, mysql-admin is GUI version? [05:21] somehow I solved it myself... [05:21] rubydiamond: Yeah [05:21] MidnighToker: Neat, I should give that a try, seeing as CS is my major lol. [05:21] CS? [05:21] rubydiamond: Actually, sorry.. mysql-client I don't think is gui.. you want mysql-query-browser [05:21] Having trouble mounting a floppy , mount: /dev/fd0 already mounted or /media/fdd0 busy [05:21] MidnighToker: Comp. Science. [05:21] shockwaver, whay about php myadmin [05:21] Shadix: try typing btool and see if that works [05:21] counter strike lol [05:22] That's lame: the current deskbuttonthatopensawindow-applet (it's not a deskbar anymore!) doesn't autocomplete commands. [05:22] usser: that too lol [05:22] usser> this is windows is anti freddoom [05:22] OK, lets try that again. Can someone say my name to see if I got it right yet? [05:22] LancerDragoon: deffo. Linux from Scratch is a crazy distro... well, its a book and thats it, but gentoo teaches you meat and lets you play CLI. -say hi if you get as far as #gentoo [05:22] rubydiamond: phpMyAdmin is a good tool as well, but I prefer the other two. Better designed for usability IMHO [05:22] Hit alt-f3, enter 'pidg', it wants to Yahoo Search for it. [05:22] Less config work too if you don't have apache up and running [05:22] With the old version, it puts "run Pidgin" first. [05:22] MidnighToker: I will, mate, thanks. [05:22] command not found [05:22] ! artifacts on screen [05:22] shockwaver, I am going to try those out now [05:22] ! artifacts [05:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about artifacts - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:22] Shadix: Did you get any errors when you ran the four commands? [05:23] Oh yeah, is it okay to make my Ubuntu partition one single 60GB partition? [05:23] no all just command not found [05:23] DanaG, sure [05:23] I meant the ./configure commands and what not on the website [05:23] nope [05:23] And is there a way to make a fsck not take so --mmph-- long? [05:23] DanaG: Get a smaller harddrive [05:23] Just real quick, someone type my name for a test [05:23] Actually, I just got a bigger one. [05:24] BigDaddy [05:24] just leave off the k. you loose a whole letter in 'fsck' [05:24] crap... [05:24] Had before: 75 gig (actual) drive, with 5 for fat32, 40 for XP, and 27 for Ubuntu. [05:24] all seemed to go fine I'm in terminal XXXubuntu:/tmp/barry-0.9/src$ [05:24] thanks LancerDragoon . Anyone here use xChat? [05:24] BigDaddy: [05:24] BigDaddy: what are you trying to do? [05:24] BigDaddy: Aye, sir. [05:24] Now I have a 200 gig (186 actual) 7200rpm drive (was 5400 before). [05:24] BigDaddy: and yeah ;) [05:24] shockwaver:ubuntu:/tmp/barry-0.9/src$ [05:25] Yay, Hitachi 7k200 for 140 bucks. [05:25] I am trying to have a balloon and blinking icon when my name is typed in the window [05:25] Shadix: What? [05:25] everytime i start azurious it closes as soon as it opens and i can't find bittorrent anywhere even though it says it is installed can someone help me [05:25] http://www.dealsea.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=14250 [05:25] sockwaver: that is where I'm entering the commands [05:25] BigDaddy: does it not highlight this line i send you? [05:25] BigDaddy, the tray icon and taskbar button should blink, I doubt it does a balloon or anything [05:25] er the command line tools commands [05:25] What is Error 17 in GRUB? [05:26] astro76: BigDaddy the try icon should only blink if hte window is NOT active [05:26] MidnighToker: yeah, it is red text, but no blinking X icon or balloon notification [05:26] Okay, if I want to switch to having multiple partitions, how do I do it neatly? [05:26] MidnighToker, ah right [05:26] MidnighToker: ooh... did not know that [05:26] And how should I split the 60 GB I'll be giving it? [05:26] the balloon notification might be the same then. [05:26] oh my god i hate grub, one error after another [05:27] Hello. I use cron to start my bittorrent program at midnight. Recently it stopped working, i use DISPLAY:0.0 to get the prog on the desktop. I found that using xhost + fixes this, but not after a reboot, how can I set this to fix permanently? [05:27] Shadix: Sorry, I've got to go. What I recommend is running all four of those commands: ./configure --with-boost=/usr --enable-gui --enable-opensync-plugin and make and sudo making install and cd src && doxygen - copy the entire messages you get, and post them of the forum if things don't work [05:27] astro76: BigDaddy it cancels the "alarm" when the window becomes active again, if the window is always active.... :) [05:28] I'll just go with one big partition, for now. [05:28] bwa-ha-ha! Success... [05:28] chronographer: would cron not be running with the wrong user writes?> [05:28] chronographer, you can add the command to System > Admin > Sessions [05:28] I don't want to spend time pondering how to break up the space, and then finding it to be wrong later. [05:28] MidnighToker: you were right. I just needed to focus another window [05:28] MidnighToker: I'm wondering if xchat has any sort of sound notification [05:28] If need be, I'll move stuff around later and resize. [05:28] LancerDragoon: there is an option yes [05:28] Hi. I'm all 'man g_list_prepend' and it's all "I have no idea what you're talking about". What package should I install? Hint: It doesn't seem to be libglib2.0-dev or libglib2.0-doc. [05:28] Oh yeah, and a lesson I just learned: DON'T use --force on ntfs-3g. [05:29] It broke all my permissions on my ntfs drive. [05:29] LancerDragoon, it does, are you using xchat, and not xchat-gnome? [05:29] I don't want to run xhost + every time cause its unsecure [05:29] BigDaddy: I'm using the Gnome Xchat however. [05:29] I'm having some power management issues. If I resintall ubuntu over the current version what would happen? [05:29] Does anyone know what error 17 in GRUB means and how i can fix it? [05:29] i'm unable to use my mic, i've checked alsa mixer and things look ok there. Any help? [05:29] LancerDragoon, you should switch to real xchat ;) [05:29] LancerDragoon: it widdles my system bell i think, have a poke in preferences [05:29] LancerDragoon: its just a gnome front end, dont worry [05:29] Is there a method available where I can use a boot floppy to install from a CD in an external USB cd drive? I've been googling for hours and nothing I've found so far works. [05:29] let me rephrase that...will it repair the installed packages? and leave conf files intact or is it going to try and overwrite the system [05:29] MidnighToker: Will check, thanks, guys. [05:29] LancerDragoon: well, gnome front end with some wierd ubuntu jazz smegged on the top of it ;) [05:30] LancerDragoon: I am not. But you should try the vanilla xchat. it is simple to install and setup. I am a casual irc user and these are my only problems so far. [05:30] gnome front end with most setting unaccessible === oklo is now known as oklopol [05:30] I receive this errror message when I test sound capture in sound preferences: Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat' [05:30] BigDaddy: I'm tempted to go install vanilla xchat right now... [05:30] So far, it is pretty nice. I think Konversation is good to if you are using a KDE box [05:31] * MidnighToker rolls his eyes [05:31] LancerDragoon: the balloon is nice too. But you will need libnotify for that [05:31] BigDaddy: No KDE for me sir. And I already have libnotify so it should be a cinch. [05:31] If those manpages aren't in the libglib2.0-doc package, where would they be? Or is there some sort of man cache I have to update? [05:31] Oh yeah, this is what I need: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/prompt-for-fsck-on-shutdown [05:31] * MidnighToker uses e17 :-D its pure bliss [05:31] BigDaddy: Any links that will help me get that balloon thing up and running? [05:31] * LancerDragoon GNOME all the way. [05:31] Anybody having trouble with Pidgin in Gutsy? [05:32] How do I make terminal service client remember passwords? [05:32] Galaxor, maybe manpages-dev ? [05:32] hello all i got some probelm ..totem could not play [05:32] habluxa: what are you trying to play? [05:32] habluxa: Play what kind of files? You might need some codecs. [05:32] LancerDragoon: if you are using the vanilla xchat, once you have a server/channell window open, go to settings ->preferences -> Alerts [05:33] astro76: Nope, not that one either. Thanks. [05:33] lancer---its windos media [05:33] BigDaddy: Thanks. [05:33] habluxa: could not play what? Kickball? Football? Chess? [05:33] LancerDragoon: np [05:33] Anybody having trouble with Pidgin in Gutsy? [05:33] habluxa: you will need to install some codec to play those files. [05:33] peddy === Vjain8905 is now known as VJain8905 [05:33] I love kickball xD [05:33] Hello there... I am a total newbie with linux / ubuntu... I have installed the firestarter application but what virus program do I need to install? [05:33] lance--where can i get the file [05:34] Does Gutsy have support for the UDF 2.5 filesystem built-in, or does that need to be installed separately? [05:34] lol, Peddy what kind of problems? It eats a lot of memory IMO [05:34] habluxa, you will need w32codecs, you can get it from medibuntu [05:34] How do I make terminal service client remember passwords? [05:34] !medibuntu | habluxa [05:34] habluxa: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [05:34] thank guys lemme check it [05:34] habluxa: good luck [05:34] BigDaddy: I know, but I'll send a screenie of my problem. Slightly worse, to say the least. Just fyi I've purged and reinstalled several times. [05:35] Hi, I plan to install a linux distribution in a few days, most likely Ubuntu. But i've recently learned of Kubuntu and Xubuntu, what's the difference between these distributions? (I am a newb to linux in general) [05:35] VJain8905: the only differece is the desktop envirnment [05:35] VJain8905, they use gnome, kde, and xfce respectively... you could download the livecds and try each out [05:35] VJain8905: the difference between all *ubuntu's is the desktop environment. They're really all one distro, just with different GUIs. [05:35] Can I send a file in xchat? [05:35] BigDaddy: could you elaborate please? [05:35] Ratman: no antivirus is needed [05:35] !kubunti | VJain8905 [05:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about kubunti - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:35] !kubuntu | VJain8905 [05:35] VJain8905: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE [05:36] My recommendation is stick with Ubuntu proper until you are comfortable. Then just install another DE [05:36] BigDaddy: You can sort out VJain8905 first [05:36] Hi! [05:36] meanwhile I'm upping a screenshot [05:36] ok, thank you. And what do you mean by desktop enviorment? [05:36] Hi, what virus scan programs are good to use with ubuntu? [05:36] clamav [05:36] nod32 [05:36] Ratman: clamav, avira antivir [05:36] how can I diff a folder recursively and delete duplicate files? I thought it was diff -r /home/folder ??? [05:36] FluxD: nod32 has linux version? [05:36] yup [05:36] anyone know how to use xhost to enable me to run this 'DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/bin/deluge' in a virtual terminal or crontab and appear on my desktop ??? apart from xhost + ? is there a text file for me to edit someone is aware of? [05:37] ok, I know it's personal preference but which is most popular? [05:37] VJain8905: The operating system is not a graphical entitiy like it is in Windows. Explorer.exe gives you your shell, file manager, and startmenu, taskbar, systemtray... [05:37] AlanBShepard70: probably by using find command [05:37] I can do md5 to a folder or md5 only works with the files? [05:37] Ratman: no antivirus is needed [05:37] diff < rsync [05:37] Ratman, non are popular as it's not needed, unless you need to scan a windows host [05:37] i'm following you so far [05:37] VJain8905: So we have all these other desktop environments to cater to those who need/want a GUI. [05:37] Ratman: in your synaptic search for "antivirus" [05:37] VJain8905: Linux operating systems have desktop enviroments that are platforms for applications and GUI controls to work with the underlying OS [05:38] does anybody have a windows xp iso they can send me ? [05:38] ok, but how come no antivirus would be needed... sorry, I am a windows user primarily... why couldn't there be a virus on a linux box? [05:38] VJain8905: GNOME is Ubuntu's default desktop environment, but you can use whichever you like. [05:38] ok, thank you [05:38] Ratman: linux doesn't get virus's in the windows sense [05:38] search www.thepiratebay.org for XP Ultimate its good (for windoze) [05:38] hi [05:38] Ratman: the entire OS runs differently [05:38] drizzt69, WinXP???? No!! [05:38] * usser drizzt69 sound suspiciously like RIAA agent [05:38] I'll stick w/ Ubuntu for about a week and go from there. Any programs other than Wine I should get to begin with? [05:38] !piracy | drizzt69 chronographer [05:38] its got SP3 too [05:38] drizzt69 chronographer: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [05:38] VJain8905: A simple analogy would be an alternate shell in Windows to the Linux DE. Not necessarily an accurate one, but you might grasp that idea easily [05:38] oops [05:39] Say no to warez [05:39] I can do md5 to a folder or md5 only works with the files? [05:39] Don't use a strange modded XP. I've seen it on sombody else's computer, and he was asking me about some brokenness in it. [05:39] for some reason, today when i went to turn off my laptop, the shutdown and restart icons are missing, all i get are "switch user, log off, suspend, and hibernate" [05:39] any ideas? [05:39] hmmm, I know they are different but still don't quite understand... but If I wanted one to make sure it would be clamav? [05:39] I told him the best thing to do would be to BUY it (from msdnaa.) [05:39] what was that all about ? [05:39] VJain8905: a week? how new are you to Linux? [05:40] Relapse: Happened to me before, have you been playing with Xauthority? [05:40] no Peddy i installed blubuntu theme [05:40] thats all === narg_ is now known as narg [05:40] very new, but I'm giving myself a week to get a feel for the DE, I'll fiddle around to find the DE i like best [05:40] VJain8905: Exaile, please go play with Exaile. [05:40] drizzt69, you do understand it's illegal to copy copyrighted software? [05:40] ola [05:40] Peddy test [05:40] If i was to forward localhost:3306 to a remote-server:3306, would there be any problems with that? both web/db servers [05:40] drizzt69: why would you ask for a XP iso in the ubuntu channel? [05:40] td bem [05:40] this is a new install, just installed this morning on a new laptop [05:40] relapse: What happens if you remove it? [05:41] the theme [05:41] The one LEGAL thing to do is to find somebody ELSE with a physical XP cd, and then use your OWN existing key. If it's an OEM key, then you may be SOL. [05:41] LancerDragoon: you like Exaile? you ever tried Listen? [05:41] Peddy: noting changes, i switchedback to human made no difference. [05:41] DanaG, very true [05:41] relapse: but what if uninstall? [05:41] BigDaddy: no, not yet, I shall now give it a try. [05:41] ill try [05:41] hold on [05:41] LancerDragoon: WAIT [05:41] Also, it's subjectively less shady to do it that way. [05:41] astro69, i'm not looking to copy anything i used to have a valid version but comp crashed and i never had a backup [05:42] BigDaddy: is one week not long enough to mess around w/ Ubuntu to see if I like it's DE? [05:42] drizzt69, you can also get a replacement cd from them for $35 [05:42] DanaG: I though it was legal to obtain XP (by any means) as long as you use your own (paid) key? [05:42] BigDaddy: wait? [05:42] I know that there is quiet a few, but can someone recommend me a good RSS-feeder? [05:42] That's gray area. [05:42] Peddy, for $35 as I mentioned ;) [05:42] LancerDragoon: I was just curious if you knew how to fix the damn thing from duplicating ever song in the library evertime you refresh it [05:42] ahh [05:42] modu, for gnome? [05:42] What does it mean "no public key" http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45087/ [05:42] astro76, no they won't give me one they said i need to get vista since thats all they make anymore [05:42] Jausk: yes sir [05:42] BigDaddy: Oh, no. I wouldn't know about that. [05:42] VJain8905: I used Kubuntu for 2 months before I decided to switch to Ubuntu [05:42] Peddy: Downloaded ISO's are not "legal" per se, as it's illegal to share the ISO. Making "copies of the disk" is considered illegal. [05:42] Peddy: how do i uninstal the theme, in apperene settings, delete is greyed out [05:42] Jausk: or simply indepandant from gnome, doesnt mather as long as it works fine [05:43] BigDaddy: It sure looks pretty though. [05:43] LancerDragoon: I thought maybe you had tried a few and settled on Exaile [05:43] BigDaddy: Can you give me a hand with Pidgin? I have a screenshot upped. [05:43] BigDaddy: k, thanks. I guess I'll try it out for longer then i planned [05:43] drizzt69, they went back on that and are still selling XP, have you tried recently? otherwise just don't discuss it here [05:43] modu, liferea [05:43] for example [05:43] Peddy: what'cha got? [05:43] or straw [05:43] http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/5676/pidgin2qd1.png [05:43] .net [05:43] ok i won't discuss it here [05:43] * DanaG uses amarok, for the sake of having folder views. [05:43] Peddy: how do i uninstal the theme, in apperene settings, delete is greyed out [05:43] Oh yeah, there's a ##windows on freenode. [05:43] And apparently, irc.ubuntu.com IS irc.freenode.net. [05:44] Jausk: oh, I remember using liferea now that you mention that one, thanks for the tip [05:44] can I map drives from my windows box to this (ubuntu) computer? [05:44] astro76, you know why its shutting down all of my torrent programs as soon as they open? [05:44] relapse: no idea try asking someone else (or googling) 'how to uninstall themes in ubuntu' [05:44] Ratman: yes, using samba [05:44] Peddy: what is that for your GNOME menu button? [05:44] Peddy, your gnome is beatiful [05:44] Thanks. I spent a lot of time on it. [05:44] but ou use the office? [05:44] you* [05:45] Oh yeah, my apport is broken. It never offers up any bug reports. [05:45] As you can see, M$ word is on it. Disgraceful [05:45] nalioth: Sorry I am totally new and just trying to learn linux, what is Samba? [05:45] drizzt69, no idea about azureus [05:45] I prefer Beryl to Compiz Fusion, but can't get it working in gutsy. So Compiz Fusion it is [05:45] I am using Sun's Solaris Nimbus theme btw [05:45] is the difference between PCLinuxOS and Ubuntu the DE? [05:46] Ratman: if you use windows, you are familiar with it :) it is how windows allows folders and files to be addressed over the network [05:46] Peddy: are you using any unusual fonts? [05:46] VJain8905: no. theres other differences as well [05:46] DE? [05:46] ubotu: tell Ratman about samba [05:46] DE=desktop environment. [05:46] !samba | Ratman [05:46] Ratman: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT [05:46] :) thanks [05:46] Flannel: Are there any major ones? [05:46] BigDaddy: Not really, sans. [05:46] Peddy: is the user you are messaging offline? [05:47] astro76, it did the same in bittorrent but now i can't even find bittorrent and it won't let me reinstall it because it says its still there and won't let me un-install it [05:47] Bigdaddy: I am using the same ones since I upgraded from Feisty. Pidgin hasn't been working since [05:47] nope [05:47] online [05:47] Oh yeah, one thing I was surprised to learn: apparently SMB is also called CIFS. [05:47] Peddy: did u try purging pidgin [05:47] If I look at the output in terminal, it says 'segmentation fault' [05:47] I could use some help getting my laptops' scroll pad to work with a vmplayer ubuntu 7.1 appliance [05:47] Peddy: and installing again [05:47] usser: yes [05:47] how can i install Opera in breezy 5.10? [05:47] Is pidgin available in feisty? [05:47] Peddy: wow segfault eh [05:47] usser: And deleting my /home/peddy/.pidgin [05:48] Peddy: its probably a bug [05:48] or am I stuck with gaim? [05:48] Segfault, core took a dump [05:48] sidlet: Only through third-party repos, I think. [05:48] -.- [05:48] bummer [05:48] Kamandag, you should update to a supported version of Ubuntu [05:48] sidlet: I'm using pidgin myself, on feisty [05:48] Debuntu.org has pidgin. [05:48] Does Gutsy have support for the UDF 2.5 filesystem built-in, or does that need to be installed separately? [05:48] sidlet: u can compile it yourself [05:48] Peddy: how about plugin's? What plugin's are you using? [05:48] how can i install Opera in breezy 5.10? ive just downloaded opera for ubuntu [05:48] BigDaddy: Excellent thought. I am disabling all of them right now. [05:49] Can anyone explain to the difference between the CD distro and the DVD distro? [05:49] pidgin [05:49] VJain8905: I have no idea. Ubuntu uses dpkg while PCLinuxOS uses rpm, PCLos is based on Mandriva, while Ubuntu is based on debian. If you want KDE with ubuntu (the DE PC... uses) you just use Kubuntu. [05:49] usser, i see no need to compile something. :P it'll break the beautiful apt system I have going. [05:49] how do I get to a command line? [05:49] judgernaught, the DVD distro have more packages [05:49] judgernaught: dvd has extra packages on it [05:49] usser, but thanks for the idea anyway.. [05:49] Flannel: thanks [05:49] sidlet: third party repos is your best bet then [05:49] Ratman: Applications > accessories > terminal [05:49] sidlet: have u heard of checkinstall [05:49] judgernaught: The DVD has both the liveCD and the text based installer, and includes more packages [05:49] how to install fonts in ubuntu [05:49] sidlet: or getdeb.net [05:49] anyone here a genius with Grace? [05:49] thanks, sorry this is sooooo new. [05:49] no.... whassat? [05:49] DEBUNTU. [05:49] judgernaught: that is, more packages in the repos on the CD [05:49] sidlet: it compiles and produces a .deb [05:49] for pidgin. [05:49] !checkinstall [05:49] Flannel: also, should I start out with Kubuntu or Ubuntu if I am going from Windows -> Linux [05:49] checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [05:49] sidlet: which u can install [05:50] VJain8905: Kubuntu uses KDE which is aesthetically similar to Windows. [05:50] thank you all very much. is the dvd worth buying to get the extra packages? [05:50] and Gnome to Mac OS X [05:50] which would you suggest for a first time linux user? [05:50] VJain8905: Either one, its really just personal preference. I suggest trying both, either by liveCD of each, or by installing them both (install one, then install the other via package management), they can both sit on the same Ubuntu install (that's Ubuntu the distro, not Ubuntu the flavor) [05:50] VJain8905: I prefer Gnome, but it's only a personal preference thing. [05:51] Could anyone help me with Ubuntu 7.10 and my x800 pro, I'm trying to get the fglrx drivers working but I bootup with a black screen. I posted a thread on the forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3792186#post3792186) with what i've tried and my xorg.conf if anyones willing? :( [05:51] VJain8905: they are all free to choose from. install them all, use them and see whiche one YOU like [05:51] thanks [05:51] judgernaught: The packages will be outdated already, so unless you're using it somewhere that has no internet, you don't really get any benefit [05:51] LancerDragoon: I don't agree with that. KDE is so dissimilar to Windows [05:51] Anyone know of a good usenet program that will work with NZB's? [05:51] BigDaddy: I thought there would be someone disagreeing with me about it. :D [05:51] KDE is much nicer looking that WIndows [05:51] BigDaddy: Well, unless you turn on redmand [05:51] BigDaddy: I can now send messages, the core doesn't take a dump anymore, but there is still no send button. [05:51] LancerDragoon: Glad it could be me then! [05:51] Or whatever it was called [05:51] BigDaddy: MUCH more... === christian_ is now known as _Christian [05:51] ive just downloaded opera for ubuntu.. whats next? [05:51] .deb [05:52] thanks to everyone who helpled me. im loggint out now [05:52] Peddy: theres no send button in pidgin at all :) [05:52] BigDaddy: Haha, I suppose it's because the Kicker is almost always used on the bottom of the screen, which would certainly remind one of windows. [05:52] Kamandag: double click it. [05:52] bye judgernaught [05:52] LancerDragoon: I agree there [05:52] later [05:52] xD [05:52] Peddy: what plugins did you disable? [05:52] BigDaddy: Glad we agree on that. :p [05:52] how do I get my laptop's scroll pad to work with ubuntu? [05:52] BigDaddy: Although I prefer GNOME. [05:52] archive not supported [05:52] BigDaddy: Purple plugin pack. Deleting them too, now. [05:53] Can someone tell me how to use math.h library? [05:53] * LancerDragoon begins a promotional advert for GNOME. [05:53] Will setting up the internet on Ubuntu be easy? Or will I need help doing it? [05:53] I mean... how to use it on gcc... [05:53] I love KDE, but Kubuntu had too many problems for me. I like the cornacopia of configuration options in KDE [05:53] Flannel, archive not supported [05:53] GNOME has that training wheel feel to it [05:53] I can't change brightness when in KDE. [05:53] cyberick: Insert it with include than compile with -lm [05:53] I also can't make my panels as nice and slim as my gnome panel. [05:53] Peddy: never heard of them so I can't help there [05:53] I'm having some problems getting my floppy to work in ubuntu. Sometimes it won't mount... just green floppy light and brr brr. Sometimes it will mount after looking at the drive a minute or so . [05:53] I'm having trouble getting barry installed Shockwaver was helping me but had to go. my issue is that I can't dl opensync i get his error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45087/ [05:53] I want a KDE version of gnome-panel, essentially. [05:54] VJain8905: Your only problem should only be with wireless. [05:54] Thanks, diogofsr! [05:54] BigDaddy: Problem is fixed, thanks for your help. Problem is with plugins, I'm gonna isolate them and then file a bug report. [05:54] BigDaddy: cya [05:54] Vjain8905: Although, most wireless cards work with Ubuntu out of the box now. [05:54] cyberick: You're welcome. ;-) [05:54] any takers./ [05:54] * DanaG is glad to have ipw3945. [05:54] LancerDragoon: thanks [05:54] DanaG: you know the thing that finally made me swith to Ubuntu from Kubuntu? The simple weather plugin and the CPU/MEM/NET meters [05:54] hi, just install realtek driver from this page, http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false and i got log out after log in, how to reinstall standard driver? [05:54] Peddyglad I could have helped [05:54] Yeah. The KDE equivalents are ugly. [05:55] VJain8905: if you use cable or *dsl, with a standard wired NIC, it should find the network right away [05:55] And you can't even match the colors. [05:55] Not easily, I mean. [05:55] DanaG: and that is what kills me. Everything else is beautiful on KDE, expt for the meters [05:55] ok, i downloaded, installed and configured firestarter... is there anything on or around the desktop to show me it's still running or working after I close the box? [05:55] VJain8905: If you use PPPOE, without a router between your PC and your modem, you might want to check up on how to set it up. [05:55] Does Gutsy have support for the UDF 2.5 filesystem built-in, or does that need to be installed separately? [05:55] And big huge icons instead of menus. [05:55] VJain8905: Otherwise, it should work just fine. [05:55] I have a router inbetween, so it should be fine. And I'm dual-booting so at worst, I'll restart in Windows to get help [05:55] Ratman: you downloaded with the package manager or with your browser? [05:55] KDE themes and icons, gorgeous. Kongueror is an awesome FM... Nautilus not so much [05:55] Most KDE themes also just feel bulky to me. [05:56] Oh, one big gripe with GTK apps: [05:56] Bulky? Have you seen human? [05:56] package manager [05:56] BigDaddy: While I love GNOME, KDE4 is making me seriously rethink my allegiance. [05:56] I think [05:56] LancerDragoon: oh yeah. I really want to try that [05:56] Try going to some File->Open somewhere, and type a path and then hit enter. [05:56] Ratman: firestarter doesn't "run" per se, it is used to adjust your firewall settings [05:56] And then bang on your keyboard repeatedly and holler when enter does absolutely nothing. [05:56] Are there any other chans for support? [05:56] So much for accessibility. [05:56] Shadix: support for what? [05:56] BigDaddy: Plasma and all them fancy new widgets. I'm so tempted to switch to KDE just for that. [05:57] nalioth: ok, so the firewall is part of ubuntu? [05:57] I'm having trouble getting barry installed Shockwaver was helping me but had to go. my issue is that I can't dl opensync i get his error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45087/ [05:57] i guess i will give this one more try, then if it wont install to heck with it [05:57] Ratman: every *nix has a "firewall" [05:57] Who said KDE was bulky? Danag? [05:57] http://fc05.deviantart.com/fs19/f/2007/290/b/6/I_like_KDE_dammit_by_marriedman.jpg [05:57] that was my KDE setup [05:57] nalioth, how do i get firestarter ? [05:57] drizzt69: use your package manager [05:57] nailoth: ok, thanks [05:57] I also LIKE orange, but can't find any nice orange KDE themes. [05:57] i've never had so many problems trying to get linux installed on a pc [05:57] hi, i cannot hear sound from my mic. Anyone have any ideas? alsamixer is unmuted [05:57] BigDaddy: Beautiful setup. [05:57] nalioth, what do i type ? [05:58] * DanaG doesn't have working capture, either. [05:58] ubotu: tell drizzt69 about synaptic [05:58] All I get is this: [05:58] something about my desktop machine... [05:58] HOW can I install fonts in ubuntu? [05:58] nalioth, any sudggestions [05:58] my laptop scroll pad works with the livecd, but not from inside a vmplayer ubuntu appliance [05:58] LancerDragoon: thanks. Unfortunately it was really unstable, Login manager problems, quirky app behaviour [05:58] xorg.conf looks ok [05:58] rubydiamond: just drag your fonts to fonts:// [05:58] ~$ arecord -fcd [05:58] it should work [05:59] Recording WAVE 'stdin' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo [05:59] RIFF$�WAVEfmt D��data� [05:59] It may require root, dunno [05:59] BigDaddy: Happens, sometimes. [05:59] gaack, pidgin mangles it even worse. [05:59] DanaG: i get pure silence [05:59] But anyway, arecord simply HANGS after the riff thingy. [05:59] I learned a valuable lesson then though. I learned how to have a /home partition [05:59] I don't even get silence -- I get the application blocking. [05:59] if i test it in preferences i get this: failed to construct test pipeline [05:59] DanaG: what are you trying to do? [05:59] !nzb [05:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about nzb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:00] no other support chans? [06:00] BigDaddy: I *really* should make a /home partition. [06:00] I'm trying to get working audio capture. [06:00] Even the HG ALSA doesn't fix it. [06:00] LancerDragoon: the only problem I have is that it doesn't automatically use the users from that partition [06:01] BigDaddy: I guess if you're the only user, it wouldn't be a problem, right? [06:01] LancerDragoon: so I have to make a temp admin and then activate those users after the install [06:01] hello [06:01] Does Gutsy have support for the UDF 2.5 filesystem built-in, or does that need to be installed separately? [06:01] Shadix: well, using debian packages in Ubuntu is one sure way to wreck your system [06:01] BigDaddy: Ah, I see.

[06:02] Any floppy drive ppl in the room ? Disk is formated in ubuntu msdos format, bad block check on . It takes more than a minute to mount it in ubuntu, but is instantly available to an xp machine in vm ware when enabled with vmware tools.

I haven't touched XP except for at work since Sept 20 [06:03] nalioth, is there any way to install Barry then or am I hooped? [06:03] egkamp: what is not working?

[06:03] DanaG: do you get garbled sound or no sound at all? [06:03] the mouse works other than that [06:03] egkamp: have you checked mouse preferences? [06:03] Shadix: Synaptic is the package manager for Ubuntu [06:03] Not even silence, just an application hang. [06:03] ubotu: tell Shadix about synaptic [06:03] Sadly, I need to use Windows to watch high defenition movies. [06:03] It's like the system call never returns. [06:04] Shadix: you should always try to use Ubuntu packages first [06:04] the graphical mouse preferences utility doesn't have anything to do with scrolling [06:04] i've looked at xorg.cong and it looks ok [06:04] DanaG: do you have integrated soundcard or thindparty? [06:04] egkamp: do you mean a scroll wheel or a touchpad? [06:04] hi channel [06:04] but there is a tool for that called ksynaptics [06:04] Haemoth: Aye sir, too bad that Linux doesn't support HD videos that well. [06:04] anyone live in kentucky?

[06:44] root_, !language [06:44] I dont see .trash folder so I cant change the permossions [06:44] english root_ [06:44] Im sure is a codec thing [06:45] RCP: install whatever you find and read the instructions (i have no webcam) [06:45] sutabi, I said rm does NOT move files to your trash, you said you did sudo rm and now the files are in trash, this is impossible [06:45] sutabi, but anyway if you want to empty the trash, sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/* [06:45] nalioth,thanks [06:45] hmm seanwlambert for sound drivers and portings you must ask soundray but he isnt here atm [06:45] sutabi, you removed root :/ [06:45] crozar, thanks anyway [06:45] sutabi, trash can be deleted btw [06:45] astro76: oh.. .Trash >.< [06:45] grr [06:46] sutabi, you can log in with nautalis [06:46] ? [06:46] Crozar: Ctrl + Alt + F4 didn't do anything :P [06:46] CubeXombi: Thanks, I'm back in. The reconfigure changed things a little, but I'm at least back into gnome. I think it backed up my config file. How do I go in and look at the new one and the old one? I'd like to duplicate everything exactly (it was working fine before) except for the driver, of course. [06:46] No, I can get back by reverting it to vesa but that doesn't really fix the problem [06:47] hello, I need to burn a cd with 800 mega, i find some cd with 870mega but i can't burn it, any special burner for that ? [06:47] no meta4ical ctrl alt f4 = msdos ( terminal ) [06:47] msdos? [06:47] Crozar: what? [06:47] meta4ical, if it havent :( then ? how can you do such work [06:47] means you can start ubuntu ? meta4ical ? [06:47] astro76: believe it or not as for me Gutsy removing anything that has been set to root permissions and I do "sudo rm" it ends up in my trash =_= [06:47] I want to change the desktop text color [06:47] astro76, i maen linux DOS [06:47] i need to burn ubuntustudio [06:47] I added the following lines in .gtkrc-2.0 [06:47] Tony_ in terminal "ls /etc/X11/" you should see xorg.conf, it thers a .conf~ that should be the backup [06:47] 800mega [06:47] Sorry i'm kind of confused >< [06:48] style "desktop-icon" [06:48] { [06:48] NautilusIconContainer::normal_alpha = 255 [06:48] text[NORMAL] = "#000000" [06:48] NautilusIconContainer::frame_text = 1 [06:48] } [06:48] class "GtkWidget" style "desktop-icon" [06:48] sutabi: why are you deleting everything with root permissions!? [06:48] niru, dont spam, pastebin [06:48] ubotu: tell niru about paste [06:48] meta4ical, laptop or pc? [06:48] but the text comes with a patch now [06:48] Crozar: PC [06:48] CubeXombi great thanks again [06:48] MidnighToker: I wasn't just a folder in "/usr/local" netbeans to be percise [06:48] hmmm weird meta4ical , ati cards can work normally i dunno why you want powerful driver when you can use the common one [06:48] is there a way to get compiz/scale to behave exactly like expose? [06:49] sutabi: ah, fair does, if its just the netbeans, for a moment then i thought you were really mad [06:49] jals: exactly? yeah, with a load of trial and error [06:49] Meta4ical what card do you have? [06:49] jals, you mean to orginize windows as a table view infront of y our screen>/ [06:49] jals: or maybe some googling for mac themes/cloning? [06:49] MidnighToker, well i mean more the button behavior [06:49] MidnighToker: lol shoot 4 years ago with Mandrake I was made running as "root" as my primary user [06:49] Crozar: I ran 7.04 a few months back and loved it, i wanted to switch over from windows completely. I managed to get the only reason for me staying on windos (counterstrike) working. so that's why... i need it over the standard [06:49] how to adjust my resolution?there is no options in desktop...thanks [06:49] ie. press and hold f9, shows all windows [06:49] jals, just go to options and bindings my friend [06:49] CubeXombi: It's an ati radeon x800 pro pci-e [06:49] ubotu: tell Kalamansi about fixres [06:49] Ok now what (Im new to this) [06:50] Crozar, i did try that, but it doesn't behave how i'd expect [06:50] meta4ical, i see :/ gamers have problems [06:50] RCP: i don't have a webcam :( [06:50] hi, is rocketdock available for use in ubuntu? [06:50] jals: yeah, you can with some messing about, i found it was actually more pleasant using some of the other desktop switching tho, there is a compiz control pannel where you can muck about to your hearts content [06:50] hmm [06:50] 怎么进中文频道呢？ [06:50] how to adjust my resolution?there is no options in desktop...like i want to be my screen and txt will be small txt...thanks [06:50] meta4ical, most people here talk about help which is because of gaming lo [06:50] 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [06:50] Crozar: Wine and CS installed without a hitch, it was just getting the card to work, but that was a different card [06:50] Kalamansi: Gusty? [06:50] where do I go to use the app [06:50] ermm Gutsy [06:50] RCP: look in your menu [06:50] if i bind to f9, hitting f9 brings up the windows but won't make them disappear again [06:50] Crozar: I never had any problems with getting the game to run/operate, just the video drivers [06:50] sutabi: where is gutsy located? [06:50] meta4ical, i see linux as a entertainment system , and get linux games like Quake ;) [06:51] Kalamansi: no i mean are you running Ubuntu 7.10 aka Gutsy [06:51] Like I said im new to this where is that at [06:51] is there alternate way to bind so the key acts more like the key [06:51] jals: ah, i see what you mean -thats annoying. i think you might have to go googling -or into the #compiz chatroom(s) [06:51] sutabi : 7.04 [06:51] RCP: at the top left, "Applications" [06:51] jals, you must use the bindings , its a problem when you dont understand hwo to use it [06:51] Kalamansi: see your PM from ubotu [06:51] jals, go to #compiz channel and see how they will help you [06:51] Kalamansi: blah =_= you have to do that manuelly via /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:51] ok, thanks MidnighToker, Crozar [06:52] anyone with some time want to help me set up WoW on abuntu 7.10? [06:52] WoW works on linux! [06:52] ? [06:52] i mean i have it set up its just running really slow [06:52] wine [06:52] thay are not in there [06:52] oh pff lol [06:52] i had wow working with some random guide at 40fps : ) [06:52] lol [06:52] yeah :\ [06:52] is there unofficial support for feisty PPC style? [06:52] its /j #compiz-fusion [06:52] nalioth: yeah thanks [06:52] windego40: ati or nvidia? [06:52] sutabi : whats the command there? [06:52] so can anyone assist with ym video card problem? [06:52] nvidia [06:52] cowbud: is this channel ok? [06:53] nalioth: huh? [06:53] cowbud: unofficial PPC support? [06:53] cowbud: ppc? ppc arch? [06:53] MidnighToker: yeah [06:53] can anybody help me in changing the desktop icon text color [06:53] nice to see some ppc users about [06:53] midnighToker: ive tried getting the drivers for it but they dont work [06:53] Kalamansi: googled: http://www.perpetualpc.net/srtd_resolution.html [06:53] nalioth: uh i'd say since this is general ubuntu yes [06:53] Does Gutsy support UDF 2.5? [06:53] ubotu: tell sutabi about fixres [06:54] cowbud: we help with ppc Ubuntu [06:54] MidnighToker: did some group of people go for getting ppc up? [06:54] cowbud: PowerPC ubuntu is alive and well [06:54] nalioth: how? [06:54] nalioth: great, so I read that ubuntu dropped official ppc support..are there still packages? No kidding PowerPC is still alive in ubuntu? cause i don't see any feisty stuff.. [06:54] nalioth: wait lol I dont need to fix mine.. grr [06:54] windego40: i dont use it, sorry man. which drivers dont work? nvidia binary? [06:54] err gutsy hah [06:54] cowbud: you can get Gutsy PowerPC images [06:54] nalioth: that was Kalamansi's q [06:55] How can I get ubuntu-desktop package to re-install on feisty without all the extra gaim bloat? Or do I have to let all that sit around on my desktop since it "depends" on it [06:55] nalioth: so they aren't dropping support for it? [06:55] sutabi: please use official support when able, is the point i'm making [06:55] oh [06:55] cowbud: if you have a powerpc question, please ask it [06:55] niru: i think that can be done through a GTK2 theme or via gconf-editor [06:55] nalioth: see that is my question. Does ubuntu still support PPC? [06:55] DerangedDingo, I have added some lines in gtkrc-2.0 [06:55] hidden file under root [06:56] MidnighToker: yeah i go to add/ remove applications and install the legacy driver but its still running very slow [06:56] but what it did is just added some patches ro the text [06:56] windego40: what card is it? [06:56] cowbud: YES. === weldan is now known as centrinel [06:56] nalioth: GODLIKE [06:56] instead of chnaging the color [06:56] niru: i will figure out what to do after installing gconf-editor [06:56] MidnighToker: xfx6800 xtreme [06:56] thats not such an old card. it needs the legacy drivers? [06:57] MidnighToker: well the others cant be installed for some reason [06:57] windego40: i would sort out why, the legacy is not correct for that card [06:58] MidnighToker: for the other drivers it says"NVidia binary X.Org driver ('new' driver) cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type." [06:59] hehe, yeah, right [06:59] CubeXombi: lol okay I'm updating my changes to my xorg.conf file in gedit, but when I try to save back the file, It doesn't allow me, no permissions. Anyway to tell it to save from here, or do I have to safe the file elsewhere then copy it with sudo, or what? [06:59] what? [06:59] lockd, ok [06:59] Tony_: run gedit with gksudo [06:59] Tony_: ie, gksu gedit /path/to/file [06:59] niru: not sure if that is an option anywhere in gconf-editor [07:00] windego40: dont know, thats very odd. computer type has to be supported.... are you up to date with anything [07:00] everything? [07:00] ach so, danke mein freunden [07:00] MidnighToker: i believe so [07:00] evening everyone [07:00] hello [07:01] MidnighToker: is there a way to make sure i am? [07:01] windego40: any idea what version of a) xorg you're running / b) nvidia-drivers its trying to install? [07:01] windego40: update manager? [07:01] Is anyone having a problem, where in gutsy, the shutdown dialogue makes the screen go black for a split second? [07:01] is the only way to get direct x under linux to vmware windows? [07:01] cubedsi: yep [07:01] cubedsi: you mean let windows use DRI? [07:01] Peddy - yeah [07:01] cubedsi: pretty much. [07:01] kona: did you find a fix? [07:02] not yet [07:02] DRI? [07:02] kona: what graphics card do you have? [07:02] direct rendoring.... accelerated 3d inside windows? direct x [07:02] kyro 32 mb AGP card [07:02] MidnightToker: i forgot to mention that i am new to linux. how would i check for those two conditions? [07:02] cubedsi: wine can also emulate directx, but only older versions and it's not perfect [07:02] same with nvidia 8800. Its just like a black flicker, then it jerkily fades back, right? [07:03] yeah i want dx 10 [07:03] windego40: sorry, i'm really new to ubuntu, i have no idea. -could talk you through it in a couple of others, but you want someone who's familiar with ubuntu [07:03] i have 2 geforce 8600gt 256mb [07:03] cubedsi: it does DX8, and even then its only the DX7 calls that it supports properly, so give that one up [07:03] but couldn't i vmware xp 64 or vista 64? [07:04] cubedsi: chances are any of those games are going to require a full VM [07:04] cubedsi: If, and only if, you have a 64 bit processor [07:04] cubedsi: http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/ws_vidsound_d3d.html [07:04] thanks guys [07:04] cubedsi: i think it may also take 64 bit linux [07:04] cubedsi: yeah, 64bit processor and then you still cant use DX10 ;) [07:04] how can i change monitor frequency b4 booting? box was auto set to 75hz. my lcd has lower freq [07:04] and yeah i got a asus quadfather [07:04] kona: are you using compiz? [07:04] lockd: yeah, it should do [07:04] Can I install fully functional Internet Explore 6 on Ubuntu? [07:04] kona: nice nick I ride a Kona MTB [07:05] rubydiamond: using wine, yes [07:05] rubydiamond: but fully functional and ie6 are mutually exclusive [07:05] lockd, will all the functionality will work? [07:05] lockd, thats very true [07:05] hello, any one knows how to handle serial interrupt in C? [07:05] Shadix: Kona does not seem to be responding [07:05] xxw, might try ##c [07:05] xD [07:05] Can anyone help windego40 get nvidia-drivers installed on his box please? [07:05] cyas [07:05] IE4 was the biggest virus till date on the earth [07:06] rubydiamond: no that would be windows [07:06] .... people there ask me to come here because i am using Ubuntu [07:06] rubydiamond: what functionality? there may be some functionality which couldn't work (like dialup and things) [07:06] Morning everyone. I'm writing a script on ubuntu system and I'd like tu use mail notification. However I gert `mail`-command not found. What package should I install so I'll have `mail` binary? [07:06] rubydiamond: exchange 5.0 -open relay [07:06] and people here ask me to to there.... [07:06] MidnighToker: ive tried enabling the accelerated graphics driver but it doesnt let me [07:06] xxw, yeah they probably told you that because they didn't want to deal with an ubuntuer [07:06] yea.. windows 95 was the biggest virus on the earth till date [07:06] okay... but, any one? [07:06] * MidnighToker still thinks 3.1 was ok [07:06] rubydiamond: you forgot Windows Vista [07:06] MidnighToker, what is that? [07:06] hid3: mailutils [07:06] xxw, but your question has nothing to do with ubuntu, it has to do with c [07:06] I'm here [07:06] I just hang out elsewhere is all [07:07] lockd: thanks [07:07] kona: are you using CompizFusion? [07:07] hello.... [07:07] rubydiamond: windows 3.1, before 3.11 introduced the networking mess, but its all OT [07:07] SORRY about that [07:07] hi again, how do I do that * Set an environment variable JAVA_HOME to the pathname of the directory [07:07] into which you installed the JDK release. [07:07] how do i put a .img onto a flashdrive? [07:07] ....always in heart... [07:07] Okay, so I got another one for ya: The reason I was playing with my vid driver was because when I try to view a flash video (like youtube), my whole machine locks up. Like I have to actually hold down my power button to restart. I tried using adobe flash, and the other one, but no cigar. The adobe one sort of worked, but also locked the machine up. I could move the mouse around, but... [07:07] ...that was it. So, two questions: 1) any way to interrupt in a situation like that and kill the offending app? and 2) why might it be happening in the first place? [07:07] hid3: it -should- be telling you this at the command prompt [07:07] Nick is from a kona I used to ride. I ride a Cannondale now - actually I'm selling it. [07:07] Peddy - NO. My card at 32 MB can't handle it. [07:07] Tony_: you have amd64? [07:07] how i couldnt find any drivers for my epson stylus cx2900 with scanner and print...anybody wants to help i appreciate it..thanks [07:08] Nope [07:08] hmm, adobe flash is nasty, but its usually ok on 32bit [07:09] c'mon chat with me... [07:09] newguyss, example export path setting : export PATH="${PATH}:/opt/jdk1.7.0/jre/bin/ [07:09] MidnighToker: AMD Athlon though, but it's an old 1.3GHz one [07:09] cHeChA_cE_EmO: chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic :) [07:09] it's kind of interesting to find modern proprietary unix games in this millenium [07:10] Ahhh I remember the old aMD athlon days. Thank goodness I have a 2.4 GHz P4 now. [07:10] defrysk: thanks, but where is the JDK installed? i installed it from the synaptic manager and cant find it [07:10] Tony_: odd. [07:10] kona : but p4 2.4gh sucks [07:10] Every time I open FileZilla I get a dialog box that states: "can't open file '/usr/share/mime-info/gimp.keys' (error 5: Input/output error)" and it is really starting to annoy. What can I do? === newguyss is now known as alloos1 [07:11] Not compared to what I used to have - 1 GHz celeron [07:11] (WW) NVIDIA(0): TwinView and SLI are not compatibile. Disabling TwinView. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45097/ [07:11] alloos1, dont change your nick just like that , it makes it hard to communicate [07:11] amd athlons served us very well [07:11] they typically blew the intels away at a far lower price point [07:11] lol [07:11] you can't be serious? [07:11] defrysk: I need to enter the java room and I need to be registered, I have one registered nick only === buttman is now known as buttman69 [07:12] I wouldn't mind troubleshooting the problem, except for the fact that I have to hard restart my machine everytime I go to youtube. >:( Is there any special "rescue" key combo I can use to bring up a terminal or process manager of some kind? [07:12] SpeakerMania: sudo touch /usr/share/mime-info/gimp.keys ? though I doubt that would work [07:12] checkout my pastebin if anyone wants to help me out with twinview and SLI [07:12] alloos1: /msg nickserv help register [07:12] I thought Linux was supposed to be impervious to lock ups [07:12] alloos1, if you want to know where java is installed you wil have to check the properties section of synaptic of the package you installed [07:13] lockd, Nope. I get "cannot touch `/usr/share/mime-info/gimp.keys': Input/output error" [07:14] And just for future reference, does ubuntu work with hyperthreading or multi-core processors?

Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [07:14] Tony_: yes [07:14] alloos1, otherwise slocate jdk | grep bin [07:14] Tony_: if firefox crashes the system try ctrl+alt+backspace to restart the xserver [07:14] Hrm, yeah tried that one. :( [07:14] i'm having a bit of a problem with midi playback - only calling timidity from the command line works [07:15] defrysk: thanks alot you are great help, but which file I need to change to get this: * Set an environment variable JAVA_HOME to the pathname of the directory [07:15] into which you installed the JDK release. [07:15] Tony_: did you try ctrl+alt+f1 then log in and use top to find the resource hog then kill [07:16] between those two methods i've pretty much always been able to avoid a hard reboot [07:16] I don't think I used ctrl alt f1, I'll check that one out [07:16] thx [07:16] Tony_: ctrl+alt+f7 should bring you back to gui [07:16] sometimes the switch takes a minute or two for the gui to come back [07:18] alloos1, what would you like to do with setting path ? to get it to work in firefox ? [07:18] astro76: BigDaddy: if either of you get this, try right clicking on a chanel name in xchat, it gives you all sorts of options :) [07:19] defrysk: iam tryiong to install geoserver [07:19] alloos1, what jave version did you install ? [07:20] sun-java-jdk [07:20] Whats a program with a GUI to limit the bandwidth a program uses? [07:21] alloos1, as far as I cnow with installing that package the path environment is also automagically set [07:22] defrysk: thats what I get @ubuntu:/usr/local$ geoserver/bin/startup.sh [07:22] The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined [07:22] This environment variable is needed to run this program [07:22] alloos1, have you read this ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/161882 [07:23] dfd [07:24] defrysk: iam on feisty, still problem? [07:24] alloos1, anyway an example way of setting your path : export PATH="${PATH}:/opt/jdk1.7.0/jre/bin/" [07:24] alloos1, find you jave and set it in .bashrc as a single line at the bottom [07:24] your java* [07:25] I have to go for now alloos1 so maybe somone else can help you further with setting your path [07:25] defrysk: thank you so much, it was so kind of you [07:25] will try to get it [07:27] what irc client are yall using and why do you like it more than xchat? [07:27] i just used aptoncd to copy a bunch of packages to a fresh gutsy install that isnt connected to the internet, it only copied the packages, and didnt install them(thats how its supposed to work) is there an easy way to select them all for install? [07:33] time to see if my video card works [07:34] hope it's not an ATI card [07:34] hehe [07:35] how to add multi-line comments in command line svn .. for doing a commit [07:36] rubydiamond: that is a question more directed toward #svn === Shadix is now known as shadix === shadix is now known as Shadix [07:36] indeed [07:36] My mouse doesnt work anymore.

[07:47] jm: I have the sme problem [07:47] v1k1ng1001, that's if you want to know if you have direct rendering, otherwise, check xorg.conf and see what driver you are using [07:47] lol [07:48] Shadix: I am unsure of your problem and I don't want to suggest a fix. Ask in a few hours (+3 Hours from now EST) and you should get multiple responces [07:48] well i guess that settles that [07:48] What I did was use envy :( [07:49] no linux on my desktop machine [07:49] v1k1ng1001: what seems to be the issue/ [07:49] alright well goodnight everyone [07:49] So... it seems that something in Ubuntu randomly grabs my CPU cycles.... overall it's not that big of a deal, cuz all I have to do is restart... but I'd rather know what's causing it [07:49] Lapinux: what no linux - restate your issue. [07:49] I'm having the same problem as jmdc and my screen doesn't look quite right [07:50] xTheGoat121x: please describe your issue more [07:50] I need to make a pamphlet for class tomorrow, and I can't find ANY app for linux to help me. Can anyone help? [07:50] choudesh: been fighting with grub, cant get my system to boot no matter what i try [07:50] Lapinux: what seems to be the issue? [07:50] wow [07:51] choudesh: i get either error 2 or 17 from grub and no boot [07:51] Let's make sure it really is the same: I'm using the alternative install cd, and a couple seconds after the installer starts up (a second or too after the logger daemons start up, I see a message flashed (too brief to read) and then the monitor goes into standby mode. [07:52] choudesh, all right. I'll be doing my normal things (IM, Music, chat, etc), which normally only eats maybe 5-10% CPU... but sometimes, seemingly randomly, my CPU load will shoot up to 90-100% usage, and not come down, no matter what I close. I try looking at running processes, anything that might be using the CPU, but nothing shows. [07:52] jmdc: same wit me [07:52] Oh, and this is on 10 year old hardware. [07:52] I have a question. I have cable Internet and it is really slow tonight, and at times, I have to disconnect the power cord to the modem to reset it and then run sudo invoke-rc.d networking restart because web pages will not load at all. I have never had this problem and going by the modem lights, it isn't losing its signal. Aside from the possibility the net is just slow tonight, could it be something else, settings in Ubuntu or someth [07:52] * v1k1ng1001 did get broacom up and running [07:52] xTheGoat121x: My NetworkManager did that to my CPU all the time. Check if you have the same problem. [07:53] Haemoth, did it show up in your system monitor? [07:53] xTheGoat121x: Yeah it did. [07:54] xTheGoat121x: I suffer the same issue. Accept my machine will stall. I am currently investigating the issue. I personally suspect the same issue that causes slow transfer. [07:54] is there any reason why the eclipse-cdt package is still version 3.x instead of 4.x in gutsy? how can I get the new version? [07:54] Haemoth, unfortunately, nothing shows up in System Monitor as eating the CPU cycles. [07:55] choudesh, ouch, that's brutal. [07:55] xTheGoat121x: I know. I would suggest turning off the tracker deamon [07:56] !tracer | xTheGoat121x [07:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about tracer - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:56] !tracker | xTheGoat121x [07:56] xTheGoat121x: Services to index files for fast searching include: Beagle (front-ends: beagle, catfish, gnome-main-menu, mozilla-beagle for !GNOME; kerry, kio-beagle for !KDE; beaglefs for !CLI) - Tracker (tracker-search-tool, libdeskbar-tracker for GNOME; tracker-utils for CLI) - Strigi (strigi-applet, strigi-client for KDE, strigi-utils for CLI) - Kat (for KDE) - Pinot (and pinot-applet for GNOME) - Doodle (for CLI) [07:56] ubotu: you should know that I speak of. ;-) [07:56] how long does it take tracker to index?

I'm waiting for 8.04 before I upgrade from 7.04 [07:57] sn00zer: depends on what you index. [07:57] does that mean I have the drivers installed properly? [07:57] choudesh, mostly media files [07:58] firebird619: Sometimes ISPs start throttling customers that they see using P2P, bittorent and the like. So it might be your ISP being mean to you. Otherwise, if you made any changes to your network lately, that would be useful to know. [07:58] xTheGoat121x: then I can't explain it. I myself suffer from freeze ups afters I kill a huge process like azureus or a long java [07:58] v1k1ng1001, yes [07:58] :D [07:58] thanks [07:58] now it's on to the next problem which is the same thing as jmdc [07:58] slow boot [07:59] :( [07:59] I think I broke my Video drivers..

[08:00] jmdc: Well I do not use p2p at all and I haven't used bittorrent at all lately. The only thing I changed networking wise is so that the Wired Connection in Ubuntu isn't in roaming mode because that seemed to cause Internet problems with me having to restart networking all the time. [08:00] 30GB of RAM [08:00] half life 7 requires 33gigs of ram [08:00] but it's not coming out until 2019 [08:01] have any of you tried disabling IPv6 ?? I had slow app load time, and boot time, until I disabled IPv6. Now everything is better [08:01] he's planning ahead [08:01] firebird619: hrm... do you have any way of testing this with other computers? [08:01] what is IPv6?

[08:02] nenolod - well i guess that would explain why it's missing.. [08:03] choudesh: i don't want to spam i'll post a fix on the forums instead when i figure out why its defaulting to the wrong device [08:03] jmdc: no, unfortunately not. I have never had it act this way before where it is really slow and I have to restart networking or restart the pc. I have had cable a little over a year now. Before that I was on dial-up. [08:03] jmdc: did you catch this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [08:03] v1k1ng1001: Thanks! [08:03] holycow: your more than welcome to think to the forums. [08:04] firebird [08:04] i've been reading some and I think the slow boot might be attributable to resolution issues [08:04] hi, iam getting this message in terminal what is that: main.c: WARNING: called SUID root, but not in group 'pulse-rt'.

[08:04] !ipv6 | firebird619 [08:04] firebird619: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [08:04] and my splash screen is what is worrying me most right now [08:04] WinterWeaver: ;-) [08:04] ^_^ [08:05] v1k1ng1001: why is that? [08:05] firebird619: You might have a problem with dns. But, why that would show up now is hard to fathom [08:05] thx :P [08:05] I'm worried that ubuntu is hanging at boot because it does not detect my monitor on my lap top [08:05] WinterWeaver: Thanks, I will give that a try. Can't make it any slower when sites won't load in the first place. [08:05] v1k1ng1001: please post your laptop [08:05] and this is why everything looks a little bit off even though ati drivers are installed [08:06] killing X to find out .. WOOT MURDAH! [08:06] jmdc: Would using, for example OpenDNS or something help out. I have read about OpenDNS before but never used it on Linux. I used to use it on Windows though, when I used windows.

If you don't know how, please ask. [08:07] WinterWeaver: Thankfully the site with how to disable IPv6 loaded for me so I can read how to do it. :-) [08:07] !xserver | v1k1ng1001 [08:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about xserver - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:07] firebird619: I'm not sure, not really a networking expert. But, you could do this to test your dns service: nslookup google.com [08:07] !xorg [08:07] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

Could you tell me what the addresses are? If I remember from Windows, they are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. Is that right? [08:13] v1k1ng1001: log out and back in, or do ctrl+alt+backspace if you dont have anything open [08:13] firebird619: hey no problem. If it doesn't go away in a day or so come back here and some networking guru can perform the deep magic for you [08:13] CubeXombi: the only problem is that Compiz doesn't work but- oh well!

[08:14] jmdc: Ok, Thanks. [08:14] ztomic, hmmm compiz ran fine for me [08:14] v1k1ng1001: I think I missed something. How is it that you have a console at all? [08:14] CubeXombi: with xorg-ati driver? [08:15] choudesh: Would trying OpenDNS be a good idea then? Are those addresses that I typed the correct ones? [08:15] CubeXombi: what's going on?

I can't load their site so I can't check them. 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220? [08:16] how does one unsave a session? [08:16] CubeXombi: suck how?

I will restart the PC now and see if there is any improvement. [08:18] choudesh: why do you think firebird's problem is dns related?

[08:23] v1k1ng1001, well once you reboot, you wont be using the fglrx driver anymore, the one you wanted info about earlier [08:23] MilitantPotato, although I might be paranoid because I know the login screen is definitely bigger...and I suspect it has something to do with my slow boot time [08:23] MilitantPotato: ATI Radeon IGP 320m [08:24] jmdc: unfortunately, it still is slow. Hopefully it will be better tomorrow. [08:24] buttercups, that's fine as long as things work [08:24] firebird619: dang. [08:24] firebird619: what is slow? [08:24] 320m? [08:24] new to me...

[08:26] that happened when i upgraded to gutsy too [08:26] choudesh: For example, google loads right away, but ubuntu.com doesn't load at all, just sits there and eventually times out.

[08:28] MilitantPotato, he was until you told him to reconfigure, once he reboots it will be gone [08:28] choudesh: They aren't for me, www.ubuntu.com is sitll trying to load.

[08:30] so .. my google fu is weak and my drivers are still .. "broken" [08:30] jmdc: are you using gaim? [08:30] buttercups: all that does is change the xorg.conf, and he restarted Xserver, so unless he went about uninstalling the drivers it will still load them, so long as he chose fglrx while reconfiguring [08:30] jmdc: which is cool?pidgin or gaim? [08:30] I'm going to try playing around with a few different drivers, I'll brb... [08:30] Kalamansi: same thing, pidgin is the newer version. [08:31] but pidgin is better IMO [08:31] Kalamansi: gaim had to change names because it is too much like aim [08:31] MilitantPotato, right, and did you tell him to make sure he choose fglrx during reconfigure?

[08:50] Has anyone here used envy [08:50] ztomic, a horribly old how-to Back to using the open driver though... just had to apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx, to clean up the mess it caused [08:50] jimjam: I believe the default setting is to not allow regular users to access ntfs, because the ntfs drivers can loose data. In practice, they are very stable though and home users can probably use them without fear. [08:50] Any opinions against running X on ubuntu server? [08:51] ok when i try to access systemsettings i get "kio (KSycoca): WARNING: Found version 93, expecting version 94 or higher."and then i exit [08:51] eckesicle, no [08:51] someone was advised against it and I cannot figure out why [08:51] MilitantPotato, Damn, I'd been looking for that page for a while, thanks, just had to purge the old fglrx [08:51] X is perfectly safe [08:52] eckesicle: try it & see - but obviously X will hurt server performance [08:52] jmdc: I tried a Live CD to see what the Internet was like, and it was the same, real slow, some things load, most timed out.

[08:56] specon are you using gnome ? [08:56] Specon: what was it that you wanted to have an icon for? [08:56] SpeCon: some programs don't put an icon in your menu. Windows is the same way. [08:56] skeeel, yes [08:56] SpeCon: you can always press alt+F2 and type xchat it will autocomplete for you [08:56] ztomic, okay but yeah i wanna use aMSN i have this installed but old version [08:56] ztomic: don't do that windows is the same thing ... we're better than that!

I can get the video out to work to my TV, but am having some problems with resoltions. I have my meta mode set to 1600x1200,640x480 and the resolutions show up ok but on the TV it still thinks it's 1600x1200 so if I maximise a window it sizes it to 1600x1200 and I only see the upper left corner of it. Is there a way around that? [08:58] bullgard4: I don't think it's an IRC-term.. don't know about the usa east coast slang [08:58] jmdc the one off ubuntu [08:58] i give you the version wait [08:58] bullgard4: it means there is a good boy.. usually when refered to dogs - but what has it to do with ubuntu support? [08:58] i don't know much about graphics . with gimp when i try to modify an image color , i select by color , i choose my color and "color" but the color i choose change in the result i'm trying to color with 734671 (html color code) but the result is 675087 , how can i avoid that ? [08:59] ztomic: well I'm only saying that bugs are bugs no matter what, and just because they are windows' bugs too isn't a justification. [08:59] lastest new version seems so [08:59] hello guys, I would like to know which version I should prefer to my online server. edgy dapper or feisty? [08:59] bbl [08:59] ztomic though I do understand why things like missing menu items exist , etc [08:59] ace i will say LTS (lon time service) [08:59] ace: OpenBSD [09:00] long* [09:00] SatManUK: I have met that term in connection with an Ubuntu problem in an IRC conversation. [09:00] or openbsd indeed :) [09:00] specon well, you can either wait for it to make it's way into the repository, or compile it from the source code [09:01] specon what version of ubuntu do you have? [09:01] jmdc: on the other hand, how many times have you seen a menu iktem installed in Windows that only had a help file or some other useless info. [09:01] hello, can someone please recommend me on good software for setting up an linux environment(like ubuntu) on windows system ? [09:01] ztomic: oh yeah, the start menu sucks. I totally agree. [09:02] are there any reasons why I shouldn't be able to connect to my gutsy pc from a fawn laptop through xdmcp?

[09:25] Chrisnotbad: get the "flash-nonfree" package [09:26] I download the lastest flash to my desktop for linux [09:26] void^ leave hardware to hardware folk. [09:26] Chrisnotbad: thats not what I said to do [09:26] Chrisnotbad: get the "flash-nonfree" package [09:26] So I have to pay to have the latest flash for unbuntu [09:26] i think these graphical issues are a dealbreaker [09:26] Chrisnotbad: NO [09:26] :( [09:26] hola alquien habla español [09:26] ?? [09:26] 7.10 is no good [09:26] !es | jehysson [09:26] jehysson: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda. [09:26] Chrisnotbad, no, when we say 'non-free' it means 'non-liberated' :) [09:26] Chrisnotbad: get the "flash-nonfree" package out of the ubuntu repo's using the ubuntu package manager === AmiDaniel_away is now known as amidaniel [09:27] Ive heard that it sucks, why? [09:27] v1k1ng1001: why? [09:27] Cheo: what sucks ? [09:27] 7.10 [09:27] Hi [09:27] Cheo: not really, but everyone has opinions [09:27] is the package manager a program? [09:27] true [09:27] how do I get to wine help? [09:27] What's the usal way of kernel recompilation? I've found a bug and patch for it [09:27] Im sorry im new [09:27] Cheo: join #winehq [09:27] I mean usual ubuntu way [09:28] Cheo: /join #wine [09:28] do I just type it here [09:28] xdangel: I've gotten ati and broadcom working for the first time, but I can't seem to get a handle on a few graphical issues [09:28] Thx [09:28] Chrisnotbad: yes, I suggest you read the docs on http://www.ubuntu.com to get a basic overview of how ubuntu works [09:28] Chrisnotbad: yes.. it's called synaptic.. or apt-* (apt-get, apt-cache etc) [09:28] friedrich: i was told never to do a kernel recompile unless I knew exactly what I was doing [09:28] xdangel: also, i can't figure out why ubuntu takes 3 mins to boot :( [09:29] MilitantPotato: thats fair advice [09:29] v1k1ng1001: turn the splash screen off and look at wait lags in the boot process [09:29] Well I appreciate the help, atleast I have some clue now. [09:29] i did something dumb and i need some (simple) help [09:29] ikonia, there is no splash screen! [09:29] v1k1ng1001: that's an awful long wait.. perhaps something is timing out.. ipv6 dns lookup? dhcp? sometihng else [09:29] lars_: ask [09:30] v1k1ng1001: so what part of the boot process is hanging ? [09:30] lars_: ask the question then [09:30] did a new install and copied over my home directory, only i did it as root and now things are obviously fucked [09:30] MilitantPotato, I know exactly what I am doing - system is hanging every hour or two. And I did it often in good old times. [09:30] lars_: that language is totally uncalled for [09:30] lars_: if you want help, be polite and show some manners to people [09:30] if that wasn't an auto responce, im sorry [09:31] ikonia, grub loads, but then screen goes black for three minutes before i can log in -- i'm guessing to a default login screen? [09:31] lars_: that wasn't an auto response [09:31] I just need to make a one-string patch. What's the usual way of recompilation in ubuntu, I worked in RHEL before... [09:31] i guessed by the second [09:31] v1k1ng1001: hmmmm you don't see anything like the boot process, just a total black screen [09:31] !kernel [09:31] 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 [09:31] would chmodding everyhting in my home directory to 644 work? [09:31] friedrich: same technique, different package manager [09:31] lars_: chmod and chown [09:32] ok thanks ill try that [09:32] ikonia, yeah, totally black [09:32] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [09:32] ikonia, I see. I've fond config... So make bzImage. God bless me :) [09:32] too slow. [09:32] i think i did somehting wiht chown, i'll try chmod [09:32] but first i will try ikonia's idea [09:32] ikonia, there are lots of forum posts about this, happens whether I install i86 or 64 [09:32] MilitantPotato, thanks [09:32] v1k1ng1001: its one of two things 1.) your vga frame buffer options are out of sync 2.) your splash screen is borked. v1k1ng1001 try setting the vga option to "ask" in the boot process [09:33] friedrich: you'll need to package it up with the dpkg package manager or it will break your package manager [09:33] oh.. my splash screen doesn't work either.. didn't work properly on 7.04 nor 7.10 [09:33] ikonia; how do i do #1 ??? :D [09:33] vigneswari: set "vga=ask" as a boot parameter [09:34] Has anyone heard of Linux for Play staytion 3? [09:34] ikonia, not very important, I will not change it for a time [09:34] friedrich: yes, but the package manager will ! [09:35] ikonia, i guess it would be #1 because both gutsy and mint 4.0 aren't looking right [09:35] Chrisnotbad: yes [09:35] but i have no idea how to fix it [09:35] v1k1ng1001: no, thats a terrible guess [09:35] v1k1ng1001: why have you not done what I suggested instead of still complaining about it [09:35] I would run linux on it instead of my mac since my PS3 has a 3.2ghz processor, but their is no video acceleration yet [09:35] ikonia, because I don't know how? [09:36] I hope they will fix that soon [09:36] Chrisnotbad: linux on the PS3 is not worth the effort, it will not be fixed due to hypervisor abstraction layers [09:36] v1k1ng1001: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [09:36] ztomic: and given the sparse information hardware folks would suggest it usually is a software issue, i guess? ;) [09:36] v1k1ng1001: then ask - don't sit their complaining that it doesn't work [09:36] v1k1ng1001: add vga=ask to the boot line in /boot/grub/menu.lst [09:36] ikonia, i did ask, look up! [09:36] Is that part of the video acceleration? [09:37] Chrisnotbad: no, [09:37] Hi... is there a way to run a shell script when a USB mass storage device is connected? I want to determine if a certain device is plugged in and if so copy a file from it (automatically) [09:38] What is the short of it? Hyper visor abstraction layers? [09:38] chazco: possibly through udev and/or hal [09:38] ey guys, can I install the grub bootloader even though I don't have linux installed? [09:38] Chrisnotbad: the way ps3 allows hardware access [09:38] v1k1ng1001: at the end of the line that has... [09:38] ShuMocker: you can, but there would be little point [09:38] kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root= [09:38] chazco: I would take a look at udev.. see if there is anything there that might support some scripting [09:38] ShuMocker yes [09:38] i believe that's where you add vga=ask [09:38] at the very end of that line [09:38] MilitantPotato: correct [09:38] ok, thanks :) [09:39] oh great, thanks, thats all I needed to know :D [09:39] I know this will sound stupid, but I still want to run Mac Osx on my 16mhz Mac SE/30 with linux [09:39] Just to do it [09:39] MilitantPotato, ok, i'll look for it hold on a minute [09:40] anyone have any idea about why i get this a52: CRC check failed! [09:40] a52: error at resampling [09:40] when i try to play dvd file [09:40] kise: fake dvd ? [09:40] v1k1ng1001: if in doubt, put it on pastebin [09:40] v1k1ng1001: and one of us will add it for you. [09:40] ok [09:40] kise: crc is basiclly checksumming of the disk [09:41] there are two lines [09:41] i'll post [09:41] I think it would be possible to run osx on a 68k machine through emulation. Bootups might take a few days, but like I said it's just to do it. [09:41] ikonia: does it need to be in the failsafe line aswell? [09:41] Chrisnotbad: this a support channel, not a chat channel [09:41] ikonia, ok, but i do have the orginal disk, [09:41] MilitantPotato: not really no [09:41] kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=/dev/hda7 ro quiet splash [09:41] Sorry didn [09:41] t know [09:41] v1k1ng1001: what version are you using ?

[09:42] i'm using 7.10, i86 [09:42] ikonia, and even if i had a copy, i should be able to play? i do hear the sound when using vlc [09:42] kise: I've just explained the problem [09:42] has anyone had success trying out the kde4 betas? [09:42] jmdc: a few people in #kubuntu have [09:42] jmdc: from what I've read [09:42] I'll go ask them [09:43] ikonia, the hang happens whether or not I install i86 or 64 bit [09:43] kise: CRC means either a bad disc or your program isn't decrypting the Video DVD [09:43] ikonia, currently installed i86 [09:43] CRC is cyclic redundency check [09:43] v1k1ng1001: what verison of ubuntu though [09:43] MilitantPotato: excellent memory [09:44] ikonia, 7.10 gutsy [09:44] Hello, I've downloaded Wine. I want to run a few games on Ubuntu. How do I do this? [09:44] v1k1ng1001: that boot line doesn't look like gusty [09:44] ikonia: I remember a select few things :) [09:44] gutsy even [09:44] hi [09:44] read the help on wine on help.ubuntu.com [09:44] v1k1ng1001: was it a clean install or an upgrade or anything like that [09:44] v1k1ng1001: is there anything unusual about that install that you've not mentioned [09:44] ikonia, clean installs every time [09:45] v1k1ng1001: and its %100 ubuntu 7.10 [09:45] ikonia, no, a lot of people on the forums with this problem, no clear solution [09:45] how can i fix that, never had any trouble with this on 7.04 [09:45] ikonia: would the HD's DMA be working during boot? [09:45] v1k1ng1001: that doesn't look like a gutsy boot line as gutsy should be referencing the disk via UUID not /dev/hda7 [09:46] MilitantPotato: I don't think its anything like that [09:46] Rainpoint: read the winehq website - there's a knowledgebase for what works and what doesn't [09:46] ikonia: is that UUID a MD5? [09:46] hi there! [09:46] hola alguien habla español [09:46] !appdb | Rainpoint: [09:46] MilitantPotato: the install looks a tad unusual due to the lack of UUID [09:46] Rainpoint:: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [09:46] MilitantPotato: no, its a method of accessing the hard disk [09:46] ikonia: i'm triple booting at the moment, but like I said, i've installed gutsy several times and this still happens [09:47] v1k1ng1001: tripple booting ? with what [09:47] ikonia: grub [09:47] v1k1ng1001: no, what other OS's [09:47] when i want to install the nvidia driver, after installing nvidia-glx i Can't install nvidia-settings, without removeing nvidia-glx, COULD anybody tell me if this is normal??? [09:47] HOLA ALQUIEN HABLA ESPAÑOL [09:47] ikonia: xp, linux mint 4 (which does not hang) [09:47] !es >jehysson [09:47] v1k1ng1001: I think thats a key factor in your issues, other distros overwrite grub with their own version of grub. [09:48] v1k1ng1001: can you show me your boot line again please. [09:48] hey, could someone plz tell me the CLI command to list all the hardware? [09:48] darkclown: lshw [09:48] ikonia: thanks your a lifesaver :) [09:48] sylverfox: nvidia-settings is part of nvidia-glx. and if you have some nvidia newer than geforce4 you might want to use nvidia-glx-new instead.

[09:49] Sorry I dced [09:49] ok, thanks void^ [09:49] v1k1ng1001: a little it looks like your grub options are a little confused, I'd guess from all the distro compatability inserts between ubuntu and mint [09:49] darkclown: hwinfo would be the alternative [09:49] d [09:50] !wine [09:50] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [09:50] ikonia: yeah, so I should try wiping mint and see what happens? [09:50] after installing compiz fusion on a kubuntu . I lost the alt gr key (well its function) I cant do (at) on a german keyboard altgr+q or the euro symbol altgr+e. help appreciated [09:50] v1k1ng1001: I'd blat your mint and gutsy partitioans %100 then just install gutsy and lets debug from there [09:50] but wine only works on x86, it doesnt work on powerpc or other architectures. [09:51] hello [09:51] brobostigon: thats correct [09:51] Varka: Thanks for the tip :) [09:51] ikonia, thanks...but it'll have to wait until tomorrow! I'll take your advice and start from scratch after work. [09:52] thats makes me very annoyed, as i use powerpc, and i have to emulate windows using qemu, if i want to run a windows prog. [09:52] ikonia, what do you think of installing the 64 bit edition as opposed to the i86? [09:52] darkclown: especially hwinfo --short is easier to read if you don't need indepth informations [09:52] v1k1ng1001 why do you want 64bit ?

[09:58] sweet, cheers [09:58] Jangari: that wont search just universe though, if you care [09:58] Jangari: enable the universe repo [09:59] oh?

I've already installed wine. Do I need to copy the game folder over into the wine folder? [09:59] that won't search *just* the universe?

I am a ubuntu beginner after installing it last night. All of a sudden my titlebar has dissapeared on ALL windows, and there is no text when I open up my terminal manager...could anyone possibkly help me? [10:01] but probably cumbersome and somewhat hard to eyeball? [10:01] Jangari: Not really, no. More than likely you'll need to pipe it to less anyway. [10:01] thats right, i tried to do the workaround and installed the kernel backport but i have no idea how to get the modules working [10:01] i've noticed searching using add programs for 'virus' returns one result, the gui interface for clam, but searching in a terminal returns about a hundred [10:01] I have pulseaudio configured and running including esd compat, but it creates a /tmp/.esd folder (and sockets) tied to my user and when i logon with another user.. the esdcompat can't read the socket created by the first user.... can anyone help me? [10:02] BenWartig what have you done to get the modules working ? [10:02] ummm, i tried "sudo chmod -R 644 /home/lars" and now it's worse [10:02] Jangari: Using synaptic? or add/remove? Synaptic searches the same as what apt-cache will (everything). Make sure you're seraching "names and descriptions" though, and not just names in synaptic [10:02] much worse [10:02] yeah,that's about right [10:03] is pidgin hanging randomly for anyone here?

[10:09] Jangari: ...sorry, but i really am a new user :( [10:09] which is the default font of ubuntu? [10:09] the little bar that runs right across the top of the screen, with menus on the left, and a big 'turn off' button on the right [10:09] rubydiamond : Sans I think [10:10] It looks very similar to Deja Vu sans mono [10:10] andsimilarly on the bottom, only with different buttons [10:10] at the moment the server runs with the workaround (raid works with 2.6.17 kernel) but wed like to run the 2.6.15 with raid drivers (is it possible to do this?) [10:10] Jangari: : I have that ok...it's just my windows that are the issue. the panels are fine, and they never change..but no titlebars on any window that would pop up or appear [10:10] hmm, [10:10] curious [10:11] mikebeecham: Yes, use restricted drivers and make sure that (Option "AddARGBVisuals" "True" Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True") are in your device section of the xorg.conf [10:11] mikebeecham: are you using desktop-effects? [10:11] Jangari: : yes..>I have been onto the forums, and googled the issue, which seems to be kind of common place, but I cant get an answer or resolution [10:11] rodelli: : not so easy, as I started using linux last night...it's all very strange lanuage I hear you speak :) [10:12] ;) [10:12] nucco: Yes, I am using moderate (I think) effectas [10:12] you'll get used to that [10:12] cofeineSunshine: : Thanks mate [10:12] mikebeecham: hoh.... i see [10:12] mikebeecham: an intel video card? or ati? or nvidia? [10:12] nucco: nVidia 7600GT [10:12] and I have enabled restricted drivers [10:13] mikebeecham: i'm not using desktop effects, so i can't confirm if this is the correct command. run 'compiz-window-decorator' in a terminal [10:13] nucco: see, I was getting onto that as well :( [10:14] mikebeecham: you problem is related to a misconfigured drivers... and this problem appears when you try to use desktop effects... so lets disable desktop effects before correct the problem [10:14] nucco: when I open up the terminal, all there is is a white window, I cannot see any text and none appear when I type [10:14] mikebeecham: so you should disable desktop effects, and perhaps rodelli can help you out [10:14] run it from a console then? [10:14] rodelli: : I will have to gain a lot of knowledge here now as I am at work, then try it when I get home [10:14] if a user is no longer a member of admin. How do I readd the user to that group?

[10:15] rodelli: : Gutsy Gibbon [10:15] where should the .conkyrc be? $home? [10:15] kane77: yes [10:15] ikonia : at the moment the server runs with the workaround (raid works with 2.6.17 kernel) but wed like to run the 2.6.15 with raid drivers (is it possible to do this?) [10:15] ikonia: how? without being in the admin group? [10:16] ikonia, what about that crashing firefox? can you help me? [10:16] BenWartig: not sure how mixing modules and kernel version will work in ubuntu [10:16] * snconnect says: hello everybody [10:16] kane77: coredumps are fatal, you'll have to submit it [10:16] kane77: perhaps you installed a bad extension? [10:16] * kane77 says hello to snconnect [10:16] kane77: log a bug with the core dump [10:16] kane77: is your machine overclocked or anything [10:17] ikonia, how? it just crashes without any info? [10:17] dkT: is there no use in the admin group [10:17] * snconnect kane77 can you help me (excuz my english is not clear) [10:17] ikonia, no It's not overclocked [10:17] kane77: it does a core dump [10:17] hi [10:17] kane77: i think i've seen firefox crash when flashplayer was installed from adobe's website... [10:17] ikonia: ok thanks for your help so far [10:18] nucco, it might be the cause.. last time I got this it was the flashgot extension... but I don't have that installed now...

I seek a gateway sms to send messages from one form php.les messages pass through my gsm mobile [10:18] ikonia, and where does it dump it? [10:18] mikebeecham: the "Visual Effects" options are in "Appearence" applet... you must disable the desktop effects; Simply click "System->Preferences->Appearence" from the main panel. In the applet choose "Visual Effects" tab and choose "None" [10:18] snconnect: this is ubuntu support so you'll be better finding a better channel [10:18] Hi. I need help with the update system. It say that my key is not valid. [10:18] kane77: current working directory [10:18] do i have to use chmod and chown in any particular order?

It'll have to be a system user of some kind, since there is only one "human" user on the machine. [10:21] ok [10:21] ikonia, i see no file like that.. lemme try run it once again... [10:21] dkT: boot into safe mode and re-add the user to admin group [10:21] k [10:21] thx [10:21] hi there. can anyone help me to get my fakeraid partitioned? if i run "sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/mapper/sil_agaidedcdeah" i get the answer /dev/mapper/sil_agaidedcdeah is apparently in use by the system; werde dort kein Dateisystem erstellen!

[10:24] mhm [10:24] how can i see if my fakeraid is mounted or not?? i thought its all unmounted on my live ubuntu, but i still cant resize my free space on the fake [10:24] BenWartig: there is, just insmod them, however I doubt that will work due to version mixing [10:24] !modprobe [10:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about modprobe - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:25] kane77: i can't imagine using a text-mode browser in this century... kind of the same with 'text-only' email [10:25] nucco, ikonia, http://pastebin.ca/783749 [10:26] kane77: its firefox's working directory (/usr/bin I think) not your home directory [10:26] ikonia: i´ll try it keep fingers crossed thanks a lot ;) [10:26] yesterday i got help with it, but it did not help.

Maybe I should try an older version? [11:02] nucco: so i imagined it shouldnt have any problems handling the newer ubuntu but i could be wrong [11:02] tritty: a ram upgrade would be cool, but it should be able to handle it.

[13:35] kae: i have virtualbox, haven't used it yet tho [13:35] and if you move the window down, do you see the titlebar? [13:35] yea. And then it can't go back above. [13:36] ok so the problem is def with advance effects [13:36] I had the problem that the titlebar was completely missing === OmlkRoNiXz is now known as OmIkRoNiXz [13:36] yea. I've read solutions to that. But my titlebar is visible [13:36] if you use compiz try: compiz --replace [13:36] ok [13:37] virtualbox is really really great [13:37] it runs very well here and i don't have mouse issues as i had with vmware [13:37] Than I do not have a solution for you, drunkmuppet, maybe someone else??? [13:38] Well I seemed to have fixed it. [13:38] how?? [13:38] Now windows open in bottom right. Like I want them too. [13:38] I selected to use [13:38] Extra Effects [13:38] instead of custom [13:39] ok [13:39] how do I tell gnome to hide dotfiles [13:39] Hmmm. [13:39] roe: right click on the file there should be a option to hide [13:40] I have to do that per file? [13:40] roe probably not [13:40] I can't do it globally [13:40] hi there - gusty seems to have recked my monitor and now its messing with an old one - even though it has detected the correct monitor anyone else had problems [13:40] roe what do you mean by .files? [13:40] Anyone know WHY macbooks are so rotten when you do SSH to an ubuntu install? [13:40] hi people, how do I find which applications accesses a file or device ? [13:41] Specifically when I use screen. [13:41] I mean which currently have an opened handle on such device / file [13:41] K3rl0u4rn: lsof [13:41] roe: try alt+h [13:41] all of the files/folders that begin with a '.' like .ssh .gnupg .mozilla etc, terminal hides them unless I issue an -a to ls [13:41] FallenHitokiri: thanks [13:42] roe [13:42] ahh roe then click on VIEW in nautilus and uncheck show hidden files [13:42] roe alth should also hide them [13:42] You can make an alias in your .profile to bind ls to ls -lah [13:42] If you want ls to show all files. [13:43] what have they done to gusty to make it the monitor destroyer - fiesty was fine === tevfik_ is now known as tevfik [13:43] got it thanx [13:44] all your monitors ok and not burnt out then... [13:44] Templar: what do you mean it is phisicaly breakingthe monitor? [13:44] ya [13:45] flickering then few days later smell of burning [13:45] then bang its dead [13:45] Please! Can someone help me! I've asked this question probably around 10 times now... [13:45] CRT's? [13:45] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2055/ [13:45] and now the flickering has started on the second monitor [13:45] crt ya [13:45] I got an old monitor on an old pc with gutsy installed and had it on for a few days, not any problem [13:45] Why do I have that, and why cant I do: "dpkg-reconfigure locales" [13:45] I dont have that issue. do you have the monitor plugged into a "power bar" or direct to the wall. maybe it is getting a surge from the outlet [13:46] hi all i cant connect program to internet with wine can any one help plz [13:46] what other program i can use to run windos soft ? [13:46] dmi3on: #winehq [13:46] no sur charge from the wall for sure cause have a dual boot with xp too and this flickering only happens with gusty [13:47] fiesty gave no trouble [13:47] Templar: has gusty killed any LCD's? [13:47] dmi3on: WineX or Cedeca are also some windows emulators [13:47] Templar: are you giving a wrong refresh rate or something? [13:48] dont know bout the LCDs on have a dead crt and one that will be dead soon by the looks of it [13:48] Templar: you should probably report this to launchpad.net but I dont think that there would be anything in gutsy that could cause something like that [13:48] sorry to interrupt, however I'm having some issues with metacity I believe. Before I upgraded to gutsy I had smart windows placement working, now my windows will just automatically overlap each other. How would I go about fixing this?(I'm not using compiz) [13:48] Some old CRT's don't like that. [13:48] but it auto detects the monitor [13:48] Then manually set it to a lower refresh rate. Do they run on their supported resolutions? [13:50] ya its matching the manual from what i can see - could there be a bug in the OS somehow or part of corrupted from a scratched cd or something when i installed it [13:50] #rubyonrails [13:50] how to start deskbar applet [13:50] I don't think so, I think it is even completely impossible to wreck a monitor over the VGA cable unless you get a power surge. [13:51] When you send 'invalid' data to a monitor it just does not show anything :) [13:51] ya? [13:51] None the less you wrecked two :p [13:51] The monitor when should go in sleepmode when using wrong settings [13:51] hello all.. anyone can help me with compiz please? i'm a linux newbie ;) [13:51] because I've tried reinstalling metacity. [13:52] riccardo: join #ubuntu-effects [13:52] oks [13:52] maybe its the vga port on the pc that is messed up but was all fine untill i got gusty - im still suspicious [13:52] joint #ubuntu-effects [13:52] join #ubuntu-effects [13:52] :+ [13:52] You forget the / [13:52] thnx [13:52] hehe [13:52] joint [13:52] ;D [13:53] also new on the chat [13:53] i like joint [13:53] hahaha [13:53] me too [13:53] Anyways, why does screen not work when I'm on my mac? I SSH to my ubuntu install. [13:53] Also the 'alt' key don't work. [13:53] Any leads? [13:53] * genii sips a coffee [13:54] gcolourAga, probably mac's sucks === gcolourAga is now known as colourAgga === crdlb_ is now known as crdlb [13:55] cofeineSunshine: that's nonsense it works fine on other systems [13:55] just not mine [13:56] Someone I know also have ubuntu running fine on a MACBook, but I got no idea how to fix the problem [13:56] colourAgga, maybe locales is wrong [13:56] hi.. how do I recover grub? I tried to install gentoo and it just overwritten my ubuntu grub and now it gives "error 15" [13:56] colourAgga, i think i read something about a similar issue before, it was in a swedish forum though but i can go and check if i can find it again [13:57] It's not that I have ubuntu on my macbook, it's just the key settings are all mixed up when I ssh to my ubuntu pc :) [13:57] slackern: i'd love that :) [13:57] Especially when I use screen, even the backspace key doesn't work when I use screen :p [13:57] colourAgga, if im not remembering totally wrong it was something about that it was using the wrong terminal emulation or something, but i'll check first before saying anything more [13:58] I'm curious has anyone else had problems getting the boot up progress bar to display with nvidia 8xxx cards? [13:58] kane77: You can boot from live CD and restore the grub from the terminal [13:59] richard, but how? [13:59] You have type in the terminal: grub [13:59] anyone here using Dejavu Sans Condensed in OpenOffice? [13:59] kane77: one moment... I'll check for the right commands [13:59] no but why? [13:59] kane77: you need to type: sudo grub [13:59] What does 'sdb' stand for in 'Inbox.sbd' of Evolution?(http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-export-your-mails-from-evolution-to-thunderbird.html) [14:00] err!.sbd [14:00] Is it possible to make boot up, and shutting down a little more verbose than just watching the progress bar? Like, showing what services are starting/stopping [14:00] then you type: root (hd0,0) [14:00] slackern: i thought the same but i just don't seem to find the settings :( [14:00] when your ubuntu root partion is sda1 or hda1 [14:00] bullgard4: sounds like SuBDirectory. [14:01] if it is hda2 or sda2 you type: root (hd0,1) [14:01] next step is typing: setup (hd0) [14:01] now close grub by typing: quit [14:01] richard, er I have sda and hda I want to have grub on hda [14:02] I have a complete instruction, but it is in dutch: http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/documentatie/overig/grubherstel/ [14:02] En wat is het probleem? [14:02] Oh, wrong language. [14:02] !grub [14:02] 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 [14:03] colourAgga, i found something similar, not the thing i was looking for but here goes (quick translation) "One simple way to solve this is to change your charmap in Terminal.App to the same charmap that is running on the linux machine" This is mostly to solve that certain keys doesn't work like the swedish "åäö" but it should be the same [14:03] Pici, is it the same if I want to recover after installing gentoo?? [14:03] hey, nice feat! [14:03] ubotu just given the english instruction [14:03] !virtualbox [14:03] VirtualBox is open-source virtualization software for x86, with a proprietary "enterprise" version sporting additional features. Packages for Ubuntu are provided by the makers at http://www.virtualbox.org/ - Setup details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBox [14:03] cooooool [14:03] kane77: Should be pretty similar.

[14:12] !automatix [14:12] automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [14:12] simu, doesn't work is a bit vague. What do you see, exactly? [14:13] erUSUL, some of those "not recommended" are political and/or license issues. [14:13] and "will break your system" issues [14:13] z1pp3r, I said "some of those not recommended", not all [14:14] sethk: in the case of automatix is a technical issue [14:14] sethk, how can you decide to just use "some" of an application? [14:14] sethk: check the blog post [14:14] erUSUL, ok. I'd like to see two different types of "not recommended", so one can know [14:14] z1pp3r, We decide to just some of an application constantly. [14:14] to use just some [14:15] sethk: I'm reading the documentation that ubotu PROVIDED ME WITH [14:15] sethk, automatix use stupid practices, and any of its function could effectively break your system [14:15] ups [14:15] thank yo [14:15] z1pp3r, I'm not disputing that [14:15] then i dont understand what you're disputing =/ [14:15] never had any problems using automatix [14:16] how to use Hindi language fonts???? [14:16] !worksforme | sorteal [14:16] sorteal: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [14:16] z1pp3r, Nothing, really. I was just remarking that it would be nice if the docs distinguish between "not recommended for license issues" and "not recommended because it's a POS" === kae is now known as Sua_mae [14:16] harami [14:17] sethk, yeah well, in automatix' case it does... 'Not recommended' is perfectly fine when it has design, license and implementation issues [14:17] sorteal, sometimes things work for the most common situations, because they've been well tested for those apps, but fall apart in the more general case. [14:17] fuck off !!!!!!!!!! [14:17] bastards === Sua_mae is now known as Abelardo === Abelardo is now known as kae [14:17] z1pp3r, that's true, you can have multiple reasons. Can't hurt, then, to enumerate; fifty reasons not to use automatix [14:17] good point [14:18] sethk, if you wanna read about why automatix sucks, the bots gives you a link when you're asking it [14:18] personally i dont think its that bad, but it's a channel policy not to recommend it [14:18] z1pp3r, indeed, I'm not disputing anything that you've said. [14:19] !automatix | not just channel policy [14:19] not just channel policy: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [14:19] z1pp3r, indeed, again, I'm not trying to be critical, and of course, people can read the docs. Often they don't read. [14:20] well i can understand that, a waste of time for a newbie to read docs they dont understand [14:20] better just to tell them what and how they should do it [14:20] if possible [14:20] z1pp3r, no argument [14:20] z1pp3r, always possible to _tell_ them. Whether they do what you tell them is a whole different question. [14:21] possible, if you know yourself =) [14:21] Anyone here do video editing with ubuntu? [14:21] I'm curious about what the tools are, and how high quality they are. [14:21] is this bad: Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary? [14:21] I use LiVes for editing [14:21] there was a 3d video made a year ago or so, only using open source tools.... damn, what was the name of that again... [14:22] maybe you can find it on blenders website [14:22] z1pp3r: Elephant's Dream [14:23] thats it! [14:23] thanks [14:23] kane77, not really a problem, just means that there is a bit of wasted space [14:23] jacobian_wrk: kino or cinelerra ?? [14:23] jacobian_wrk, you might wanna download that video, to see whats possible with opensource tools [14:24] on toolbar in 7.10 kde [14:24] z1pp3r: 3D modelling/production != video editing [14:24] kane77, The way partitioning works, a partial cylinder location can't be a starting point for the partition that follows, so the space in that cylinder that is not part of the partition will not be used. [14:25] how to get volume icon on toolbar for 7.10 kde [14:25] Pici, hmm, you're right, but he wasnt very specific in his search for tools [14:25] Is there a way I can monitor who is accessing Apache on my computer? [14:25] I have Ubuntu Feisty Desktop DVD image... can I install Feisty KDE from it? [14:26] Pici: but blender has a basic non-linear video editor built in iirc [14:26] Benalex, sure [14:26] Like, whoever is visitng my website on my machine, from their computer remotely [14:26] Benalex: you'll want to install the kubuntu-desktop, etc. [14:26] erUSUL: Does it now? Interesting. [14:26] sethk: How... fom the live session or I had to start the text install? [14:26] alecwh, there is an access log in /usr/local/apache2/logs [14:27] Hi, someone please name a wav-2-mp3 encoder for gnome that does not require to insert a cd. ? [14:27] gedit couldn't find it === neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde [14:27] sethk: [14:27] Benalex, You can start either the gui install or the text install [14:27] Benalex: You can't change the base packages for either install. You'd need to use the Kubuntu CDs if you wanted KDE instead of Gnome at first. You can install kubuntu-desktop once its installed though, but you need an internet connection to do so. [14:27] alecwh: check /var/log/apache2 [14:27] alecwh, virtual domains have their own log directory [14:28] christel, soundconverter [14:28] thanks all... [14:28] Christina18, ** [14:28] alecwh, I installed from source, so my directory structure doesn't match yours', but the log file exists somewhere. [14:28] I have sound but no way to turn it down.... HELP please get the icon back to the kde toolbar [14:28] MasterShrek: yes ? [14:28] Comeon guys... you are confusing me.... I have the dvd... okay... what should I boot into now? [14:28] soundconverter, sorry i put a different nick [14:29] gedit is telling me it's a directory, mcummings. [14:29] harry_: please ask in #kubuntu, we mostly use Gnome here. [14:29] Can I install new screensavers? [14:29] Benalex, the help at the boot menu will tell you how to start the install [14:29] alecwh: *look* in the directory :) you should find your logs in there unless you've tweaked the apache configs [14:29] Probably yes, but where? [14:29] Tyroazard: There are a few screensaver packages in the repositories, you'll need to look for them though. [14:30] Repositries? [14:30] ok thx [14:30] !software | Tyroazard [14:30] Tyroazard: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [14:30] Ok, thanks mcummings. I'm in access.log, are new entries at the top or bottom?

Look at the date/time :) [14:31] hello [14:31] can anyone pls help me set up my tv tuner? [14:32] mcummings: Thanks a lot. Will it tell me that the file has been modified, if someone visits my machine? I'm waiting for someone to look at something... [14:32] thnx Master [14:32] yup [14:33] Will ATI Radeon x600 give me trouble in ubuntu or will I be able to run compiz fusion and so on? [14:33] popdog123: What kind of tv tuner do you have, and what version of Ubuntu are you running? [14:33] alecwh: not if you have it in gedeit (I don't believe gedit does notification if the source file has been modified externally, but i could be wrong) - easiest thing to would probably be to tail -f the log in a console (and maybe | grep if you are looking for something in particular and need to filter out other hits) [14:33] it's aleadtek winfast tv 2000 xp global in ubuntu 7.10 [14:33] actually i couldn't use it in any distro [14:33] alecwh, if you put: tail -f /var/log/apache2/access.log in the terminal it will monitor the file [14:34] askand: A clean install of ubuntu 7.10 should give you no issues. But it's been really hit or miss from what I can tell from my own experiences. [14:34] is anyone here familiar with geronimo? [14:34] cool. [14:34] thanks. [14:35] shockwaver: ok what are you using/had experiences with? [14:35] Hi! Just one of topic question. I'm in Central Time. Eastern Time is one hour less right? Or one hour more? [14:35] I upgraded from 7.04 with a broken compiz+xgl+gnome install hoping it would fix it with my ati x1950, but no such luck. I'm reasonably sure that if I did a clean install, it'd work fine. [14:36] hour more [14:36] Gigi: eastern = central + 1 [14:36] Gigi, when its 9am here its 10am there [14:36] thanks! [14:36] ATI cards can be a major headache, but basic support seems to be working 'out of the box' for 7.10 [14:36] yup [14:36] Gigi, time gets later as you move east === joe-f is now known as gman [14:37] ubunt jeos was a great idea imho [14:37] ubuntu* [14:37] popdog123: Everything I've read about your card says it's very well supported. What are you having trouble with? That is, what are you doing right now and what (if any) error messages are you getting. [14:37] shockwaver my ATI is working fine, I had some problems thought. Did you check the xserver? [14:38] doesnt seem to be working on vbox tho... [14:38] i've read those things too [14:38] :d [14:38] my card is not recognized [14:38] dmesg gives me cx88:you card is not recognized or something like that [14:38] and it says to choose from a list of cards [14:39] Hi there, [14:39] !enter | popdog123 [14:39] popdog123: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [14:39] sorry [14:39] Gigi, my issue is xgl refuses to start with gnome. If I don't disable it starting automatically (~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable) then gnome dies with error messages and boots me back to the gdm login screen [14:39] I got this problem while trying to apply the drivers to my ati radeon x1600 [14:39] j #ubuntu-br [14:39] I've completely removed xgl/compiz/everything relating to those two and reinstalled them. Sometimes it works after I log out, and back in, other times no. And it never lasts after a reboot [14:40] hey, what command shows me all deamons starting on boot? [14:40] if i use modprobe bttv, i see video but i don't get audio, and i've read that it i don't get audio it must be because i haven't set the right card.... i've tried every card on that list but none worked correctly [14:41] Gigi, if you think you might be able to help.. check out my somewhat detailed post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=588442 [14:41] popdog123: does lspci list the card? (assuming its a pci card) [14:41] shockwaver going over there, let's see if I find out something [14:41] yes [14:41] i get two multimedia devices... connexant video and connexant audio [14:42] I had compiz running under KDE when I ran 7.04.. but I hate KDE. [14:42] popdog123: Post the output of "lspci", "dmesg", and "cat /etc/modprobe.d/bttv" Re: Your lastest comment, but that is the correct driver to use. After setting it up like that and not getting audio have you gone into your sound configuration and changed the audio input device? Or perhaps in the program you're using, you can change the default input sound device? [14:42] i dont get any sound inmy speakers btw : [14:43] shockwaver, why so hostile against kde? [14:43] popdog123: sorry, missed where you named it. google gives me this french ubuntu forum, trying some rusty french to see if its helpful (same card :) http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=10642 [14:44] mcummings, cant u translate the page from google? [14:44] shoudl be a link near the google result to translate it [14:44] MasterShrek: one mustn't unleash all l33t skillz in one go, what would the kids think???? [14:44] :D [14:44] =P [14:44] MasterShrek: I guess hate is a bit harsh. In fact, I used KDE for several years because I could right-click in the file browser and open terminals. But it has some niggly things that annoy me, so I go with gnome because it tends to get on my nerves less [14:45] i hate both gnome and ion [14:45] ops [14:45] i mean, i hate both kde and gnome, i use ion [14:45] lol the biggest perk of kde for you was right-clicking to get a terminal? lol [14:45] lol my thought too [14:45] I have simple needs. [14:46] popdog123: page seems to have worked for french speaking ubuntu users, give it a whirl (i msg ya the translation url if you need it). hope it helps :) [14:46] gonna check some stuff (I'm doing three things at the same time) [14:46] brb [14:46] My issues with KDE have always been stability [14:46] dmesg gresp | bttv gives me bttv: command not found [14:46] so the french forum doesn't really help [14:46] popdog123: grep not gresp [14:46] popdog123: dmesg | grep bttv [14:46] kae, very minimalistic huh? does it run any app? i spose it would [14:46] popdog123: dmesg|grep bttv [14:47] typo... [14:47] KDE always felt more.. hackerish to use. I mean, it felt like a more developer/professional type of interface. Which is good, but I'm at a point I just want things fairly simple unless I need it more complex. [14:47] popdog123, dmesg | grep bttv [14:47] yes, it runs... apps depend on the language libs, not the window manager... [14:47] yes i meant to say that... [14:47] popdog123: Don't be hard on yourself, call it a translation error. ;) [14:47] :D [14:47] i run both qt and gtk programs in ion [14:48] I am trying to log on to a shell in the GUI system of the desk top terminal window. su does not accept my general password, nor does sudo. [14:48] i think kde and gnome and those windows based desktops are too space-wasters [14:48] The man page has a bunch of switches. [14:49] kae, I find gnome very space efficient, at least while none of the dialog boxes are open. I love the default split taskbar, open stuff on bottom, menu/shortcuts on top [14:49] dmesg | grep bttv: only 2 lines.... driver version 0.9.17 and using 8 buffers with 2080k [14:49] * LancerDragoon agrees with shockwaver [14:49] sta radis [14:49] yeah, that's very great... [14:49] Codenut: what exactly are you typing? [14:50] but gnome uses more resources than ion or say fluxbox [14:50] i stopped using that kind of desktops when i realized i wasn't using the program menu anymore :P [14:50] !it [14:50] Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

[14:52] nmap [14:52] DARKGuy: nmap is THE network scanning tool.. [14:52] It was even used in The Matrix <.< [14:52] yes xD [14:52] lol [14:52] I was under the impression virtualbox, and indeed all the virtualization packages didn't support 3d [14:53] but what parameters would I need to pass to nmap o_O? [14:53] Anyone able to help with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=608760 ? [14:53] i'm sorry if my english is wrong or odd, i don't practice it very much [14:53] man nmap >_> [14:53] popdog123: You said that you were able to get video, but no sound, so how are you saying it's not detected? Post the output of lspci to pastebin [14:53] DARKGuy: run nmapfe - nice little gui [14:53] Are there any major recent memory leaks in Trackerd ?

[14:57] This is new for me as of v7.04 of debian/ubuntu [14:57] thanks mcummings ^^ [14:57] Thanks guys. [14:57] Burn, what are you trying to print? [14:57] !sudo | Codenut read this, explains it a bit better [14:57] Codenut read this, explains it a bit better: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [14:57] Codenut: in a nutshell, su expects you to know the password of the user you are su'ing to (it's old school, so to speak, elevation); sudo lets you do the same things, but is based on your password/permissions, so su - expects root's password, but sudo su - expects yours; similar but slightly different approaches [14:57] veggie: test print [14:57] !samba [14:57] samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[15:05] is the dvd encrypted? [15:05] Yeah, Terminator 3 [15:05] Just a test dvd [15:05] popdog123: You should start by searching for the driver using the cx2388 chip.

Is there a way I can find out? [15:06] burn__: If you downloaded the iso, you should check any nfo files to make sure it is bootable, if you created it yourself, you need to make sure the original disk is bootable. Not all XP disks are (found that out the hard way) [15:06] clarezoe: do you have speakers? [15:06] no [15:06] ljsmithx look for libdvdcss2 [15:06] Hmmm [15:06] you need libdvdcss2 [15:06] kksm19820117: xubuntu-desktop ??

[15:07] ljsmithx, you can find a rpm of it on vlc's website. just convert it to .deb and install [15:07] depends on your repositories [15:07] shockwave: okay man i will try and download a bootable one then, maybe thru torrent sites hehe [15:07] How do I convert?

[15:07] ljsmithx I'm compaq laptop [15:08] burn__: Before you do that, I'd see if you can force virtualbox to boot from the cd drive. I don't use virtualbox, but if you hit del or f2 or what not as it is starting up, you should be able to go to the bios and tell it to boot from CD? [15:08] Maybe others can help clarezoe?? [15:08] popdog123: You might try the cx8800 driver, "sudo modprobe cx8800". This is a guess, I'm still reading.

[15:10] oh I only really use ubuntu and mandriva so I've never ran into any gimped libdvdcss2 vlc thats interesting [15:10] clarezoe: yes, but does alsamixer come up? it lets you (curses, not quite gui'ish) manipulate volume and mute channels, and can be helpful in ways that the desktop sound controls aren't sometimes [15:10] popdog123: Have you tried "sudo modprobe cx88-dvb" [15:10] sorteal, yea suse is an example [15:10] Good day folks. I'm about to install my Nvidia drivers, but I cant cos I have to shutdown my X server, but that I dont know how to. Can someone gimme a url to a tutorial or such?

[15:12] nikitis: thank m8 [15:12] is there google earth for ubuntu [15:12] clarezoe: don't suppose any of the channels are mute'd, or 0 volumed? that alsamixer comes up means that alsa believes it has the right config for your sound card (and detects it too) [15:12] deal_, np [15:12] are all the applications available in ubuntu multiverse and universe repositories available for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions?

I have to destroy it and buy another. not wd next time [16:12] External harddrive good enough?

I pressed ctrl+alt+f1 to see what's taking so long, and apparently it's usplash, saying "usplash: loading 1024*768 failed" "usplash: switching to 800*600" and then it waits for about 3 or 4 minutes. I want to speed this up. Is there a way? [16:15] anyone know what would be causing the names of interfaces to continually increment in ubuntu? [16:15] what is the command for the xubuntu Terminal in the Applications menu?

Yeah, that's not a bad plan. Just make sure that you don't cheap out on the enclosure. Spend a few extra $$ on the enclosure to make sure it's got active cooling, and a robust construction. [16:16] anybody uses firestarter here [16:17] How does ntfs mount on ubuntu? [16:17] i use lighter fluid [16:17] Which mount should I use from the 7.10 livecd? mount.ntfs3g or mount.ntfs-fuse? I want RW access to move files [16:17] s-h-a-k-a: with no pain. [16:17] !ntfs-3g | s-h-a-k-a [16:17] s-h-a-k-a: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [16:17] Can I save/read from it without it corrupting [16:17] yes [16:17] Kl4m, ntfs-3g [16:17] aaah nice [16:17] I guess mount.ntfs-3g then [16:17] s-h-a-k-a: so far, I have had no problems, but I am by no means the overall authority. But I haven't witnessed others with trouble either reading OR writing to it. [16:18] Seems like I need to upgrade alsa to 1.0.15 to correct a problem with my mic. [16:18] Anyone know if I can run the packages from Debian sid (or from hardy, but they are not all at 1.0.15), on my Gutsy system? [16:18] there's kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-12-generic root=UUID=00e0bbdb-ba88-42d7-b2f0-30600dfb7197 ro quiet splash [16:18] initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-12-generic [16:18] kjetilkWork: in general, no [16:18] "quiet splash" on one line [16:18] Well Basically I just want read/write access to my file hard drive [16:18] kjetilkWork, should work, but no guarentees, may be better off compiling from source [16:18] Ni/join #haskell [16:18] s-h-a-k-a: the link from ubotu explains how to do that [16:18] yeah [16:18] thanks a lot [16:18] s-h-a-k-a, i never have problems reading or writing to ntfs, but i do try to keep it to a minimum from linux [16:19] buenas buenas [16:19] not that you have to keep it to a minimum, [16:19] halo [16:19] halo is for xbox [16:19] ALGUIEN HABLA ESPAÑOL?

[16:23] well I have to go. Thanx for the help (and off-topic conversation) ip_helper. Good luck with your hardware (and check out www.NCIX.com if you are in North America.

[16:24] oh [16:24] is x64 worth it? [16:24] /me goes back to using /dns [16:24] ip_helper, i wouldnt think you would have any problems with external [16:24] or should I just keep with x86 [16:24] scriptha: I can't see any reason why that wouldn't work.

[16:25] MasterShrek: ok cool thanks [16:25] MasterShrek: thanks, I will pick one up and try it out. [16:25] sorto: I believe aptitude has a tendency to install recommended packages as well as required packages, but i might be entirely wrong. [16:25] s-h-a-k-a, its up to you, there are a few things in 64 that wont work right away, flash and java for example, but most things will work fine, and its 64 so its taking full advantage of your processor's capabilities [16:26] Pici: is it worrying that I know most of the tld's by heart ;-) [16:26] <}btorch{> has anyone here resiezed a partition on raid ? [16:26] Mortice: Im new to linux, so sorry for the stupid question - but where can I see a list of packages that apt-get and install for me, and which ones are required/recommended/whatever? [16:26] sorto, synaptic package manager will list them, along with the ability to search [16:27] system > admin > synaptic pacakge manager [16:27] <}btorch{> I have just added 2 new disks to a raid 5 and I was about to use reseize2fs but read someting about first having to increase the actaul partition [16:28] anyone know why my wlan0 connects to a network and then will drop the connection in like 5-10 seconds? [16:28] tushyd, what kind of wifi card is it? [16:28] and I can't get it to stop roaming mode [16:28] I'm not sure, how do I check? [16:28] lspci -vv [16:28] it's built in, I know that [16:29] MasterShrek: it's a Intel PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network connection [16:30] tushyd, did you install any firmware for it, i remember my friend had an intel wifi card that required firmware, but that was a few releases ago too [16:30] mortice: it's slightly faster but it keeps on "Waiting for root file system" [16:30] ok, i'll try that [16:30] is there anything I can do about that? [16:30] MasterShrek: re synaptic package manager - what if I only have ssh into this ubuntu box? :) then how can I see what packages are available? [16:30] thanks [16:31] tushyd: I have that same card, 4965AGN, and NetworkManager gave me problems all the time, and sometimes wouldn't even connect. Try wicd and see if you still have connection problems. [16:31] sorto, you can use aptitude, its a cli frontend to apt-get [16:31] god I'm happy I live in a country with fast internet [16:31] downloading ubuntu is quick [16:32] I prefer vim, but I type vi out of habit. I physically replaced /usr/bin/vi with a link to vim, which works fine for a user, but doesn't work with sudo. Why is this? [16:32] s-h-a-k-a, i've got an 0.5mb/s ;< [16:32] yeah that sucks [16:32] ias there a way to make certan programs always show in negitive mode?

[16:33] hello Sopor [16:33] but now i still got some problems with sound and wireless [16:33] I'm considering upgrading my ubuntu from 7.04 to 7.10 , is the upgrade wizard trustworthy ? [16:34] the restricted drivers are "not in use" [16:34] hello Master.. [16:34] nico_, what kind of wifi card is it? [16:34] I told someone that I was using ubuntu server as the OS for a VPS and he thought that was strange.. is it a good OS for a server? Or should I have just used debian? [16:34] intell 3945 [16:34] sorto, it will work fine [16:34] hm intel is with only one L [16:35] Hello, I'm looking for an FTP-compatible backup solution. I'd like it to be something like SVN, in which it keeps incremental updates of added, modified, AND deleted files. Essentially, the backup system I want should be able to tell me, at any (reasonable) date, what my system looked like. [16:35] sc0tty: I used it [16:35] and I liked it [16:35] cool [16:35] MasterShrek: but he takes up more space for example right? So it installs more maybe? So maybe theres more stuff that can be hacked or something? Im just trying to understand why it could be considered a bad choice for a server. [16:35] sc0tty: but it took for ages [16:35] sanguisdex: I tried it once before, maybe 6.04 or something, but it failed and I had to reinstall === bucatoamano is now known as Gambas [16:35] gotta run - see you guys later [16:35] well I could have salvaged the system, but I was feeling lazy :p === Gambas is now known as GambasBucatino [16:36] sc0tty: you would be better off to dl the ISO on the cd and upgrade from there [16:36] ok [16:36] sorto, just more things running in the background, nothing really about being hacked. ubuntu server is a fine choice for a server [16:36] nad use the simple back up manager === GambasBucatino is now known as GamberettoBucato [16:36] sc0tty: it will save all but you moviees, evne your system settings [16:36] MasterShrek: cool. [16:36] then I'll try to get my m$ natural keyboard to work after that (well the complete layout) [16:36] I had to install my wireless dongle manually and i blacklisted the standard ubuntu wireless modules. When i boot linux up it automatically loads the standard modules up. If i unplug my dongle and wait for ubuntu to load, then insert it. It works... Please help !?!?!? [16:37] does anyone know how to enable drivers that are "not in use" ? [16:37] sorto, there isnt much of a case in arguing ubuntu vs debian because they are essentially the same, there are other options though, i prefer slackware for a server...dunno really why, im just more used to it i guess [16:37] system>admin>restricted drivers? [16:38] I prefer vim, but I type vi out of habit. I physically replaced /usr/bin/vi with a link to vim, which works fine for a user, but doesn't work with sudo. Why is this? [16:38] DosKey, if i enable the drivers and reboot, thei'r not in use again [16:38] sorto, is basically boils down to what you need on your server, and how much you want to tweak the performance of it [16:38] MasterShrek: I guess everyone has their own preferences.. but Im glad ubuntu is a fine server too cause as my first linux experience Im really happy with how things have been going. [16:39] nico_, you can put commands in /etc/rc.local to be run at boot, i would suggest a modprobe command to load the module at boot [16:39] nico_ make sure the modules are loaded manually? modprobe? [16:39] yeah [16:39] I had to install my wireless dongle manually and i blacklisted the standard ubuntu wireless modules. When i boot linux up it automatically loads the standard modules up. If i unplug my dongle and wait for ubuntu to load, then insert it. It works... Please help !?!?!? [16:39] :( [16:40] DosKey, if you blacklisted the module and it still loads, put rmmod in /etc/rc.local along with modprobe to load the right module [16:40] i wanna close some other terminal to reduce the load ,which file is the one i should find in 7.10? [16:41] shouldnt be loading if its blacklisted though...are you sure its blacklisted correctly? [16:41] It is. [16:41] I made a link from /usr/bin/vi to vim, which works for a user, but not as root (it runs vi instead...) Any ideas why? [16:41] It happened the last time i had to re-install linux. [16:41] lmosher: Try sudo which vi [16:41] how do I deactivate my wireless interface through the GUI? [16:42] Thanks though [16:42] it is /etc/inittab in ubuntu6.06,but i do not konw in 7.10 [16:42] * DosKey is trying it [16:42] ackdesha, I did :( it points to /usr/bin/vi, which points to vim. I also tried which under 'sudo su' and 'sudo su -' just to double-check.... that's why I'm so perplexed. [16:42] which is faster ? virtualbox or vmware ? === Anon9821 is now known as ___ [16:42] greedo, i prefer vbox [16:42] greedo, I like vbox better too [16:43] but is it faster ? :) [16:43] lmosher: sudo vi --version|head -1? For me i get VIM, and I haven't changed anything after package install. I think vi defaults to vim. [16:43] greedo: wmware is in my experance faster but its not growing as fast as vbox these days === ___ is now known as o_ [16:43] i always used vmware [16:43] i'm running vmware fusion on my mac [16:43] but for ubuntu i'm hesitating [16:43] i heard a lot of good feedback about virtualbox [16:44] vbox ftw! =P [16:44] what's better in vbox then ? [16:44] ackdesha, That's what I was used to, as well. I wasn't sure why it was running vi.

[16:44] hi [16:44] greedo, ive had issues with virtualbox in some cases. But i normally use the Vbox/vmware to test live cd iso images.. [16:44] ackdesha, Actually, it returns VIM on that command! However, when I [16:44] ok thx [16:44] Its good that vbox and vmware now have to compete against each other. :) [16:45] Pic: you generated as much bloat as the three of us :D [16:45] ackdesha, when I -run- 'vi' and I hit 'i' then use the arrow keys, it writes out A B C D just like vi. When I use vim, it scrolls around. That's the biggest feature...

How do i use musicbrainz in amarok? Where is it? [17:01] geju, thanks also.. I'll find the tool to change throttling [17:01] Shrek: I'll see if I can find that, is it located on the ubuntu website?

[17:02] jonte: that is to say, I don't think you 'use' it except when you ask it to retag a track based on musicbrainz information [17:02] VinoStyle, yes [17:02] what program can i make a music cd [17:02] I want to erase all the 802.11 AP saved passwords [17:02] Pici, I've just checked that, and so does mine.

[18:07] sandaru1, lsusb doesn't exit. [18:07] ssper are you using vmware ? [18:07] It freezes. [18:07] when i first booted up, i had a list of the networks around me that i could connect to, so i selected mine, input the wep password, and it wouldn't connect. [18:07] which lsusb --- > /usr/sbin/lsusb Your PATH may not include sbin [18:07] ssper, am having the same problem [18:07] on laptop [18:07] massada: nope [18:08] so after trying to connect the default ubuntu way, i started trying to set it up using iwconfig [18:08] okay i had the problem on my vmware install with 7.10 and had to use nat to get it to work here on the lappy it never saw the wireless network [18:08] Dr_willis, I run some lsusb so it is in my PATH and it freezes and outputs nothing. [18:08] which also doesn't work ;). and now my network settings are all whack [18:08] ssper, did you have to use ndiswrapper? [18:08] massada: it could see the network just fine [18:08] captine: i'm unsure [18:08] AquaFox|Laptop: did you change your kernel recently? or kernel modules? [18:08] captine: i don't think i did [18:09] I am running xgl and when mplayer is fullscreen, playback becomes very slow. Is there any way to solve this? [18:09] sandaru1, no..? [18:09] I changed noapic nolapic out of my grub boot. [18:09] I took it off. [18:09] AquaFox|Laptop: may be usb kernel modules are not loaded that's why.. to be sure, try "modprobe usbcore" and try lsusb [18:09] If I attach a digital camera to my computer where does it mount to? I've checked in /mnt and /media [18:09] ssper, what app u use to search for wireless networks. I dont seem to have any gui? [18:10] capgadget, WirelessRadar is a good one [18:10] captine: it came up in my menu bar at the top of the screen [18:10] and now it says "no network devices have been found" [18:10] capgadget, er, wifiradar rather. [18:10] still doesn't work sandaru1 [18:10] when i try to open the network settings, it takes forever and doesn't really work [18:10] so i'm confused [18:10] bcardarella : /dev/videoX [18:10] ssper, join the club.. ;) [18:11] anyone else experience gnome freeze when scrolling vertical in firefox? [18:11] am still struggling as every time i try wireless, my wired con seems to die or something, then must reconnect and search for help etc [18:11] lol [18:11] albech, you using gutsy? [18:11] 7.10? [18:12] albech, yeah, 7.10 = gutsy [18:12] sidlet: yes [18:12] I need help: When I run lsusb it freezes and no output. Any ideas? [18:12] albech, thats a common problem. last i heard firefox in gutsy was acting strange all around [18:12] hey, is there a command, that shows the name of the mainboard inside a computer? [18:12] g-e: it might show in `sudo lshw` [18:12] hi, I can't listen to realmedia streams with amarok, I installed w32codecs and checked .xine/config for realmedia codecs path and it is ok. Amarok continues to tell me that it can't load cook.so [18:12] sandaru1: thanks [18:13] sidlet: ok, so i should just throw my computer out the window and look TV instead? ;) [18:13] albech, thats one option ;) [18:13] AquaFox|Laptop: may be you can try with a different kernel.. there was some kernel modules in gusty upgrades.. about two days ago.. those modules may be causing some problems [18:14] AquaFox|Laptop: i hope you still have some commented out old kernels in your grub list! === rmaj is now known as smartass [18:14] I'm so happy i use feisty. Gutsy seems to have more issues than I care to work with :P [18:14] sidlet: guess i can go back to gentoo, but i really liked ubuntu :( [18:14] What is latest kernel in repos sandaru1 ? [18:14] albech, I'm using feisty with no problems. Why reinstall your distro because one or two apps are being buggy? [18:14] AquaFox|Laptop : 2.6.22-14 [18:15] yay! internet works [18:15] for anyone who was wondering... i just restarted the computer ;) [18:15] are gtk themes (gtkrc) similar to css in how the code works? [18:15] sidlet: im comming from a gentoo install.. but wanted to try out ubuntu and was very suprised to see how well it worked [18:15] AquaFox|Laptop : you may try with a bit older one.. 2.6.20-16 would be fine [18:15] albech, gentoo = compile farm :P [18:15] hola [18:15] sidlet: exactly [18:15] gutsy does not see my wireless at all here from a live boot CD using Intel 3945ABG wireless card [18:15] albech, ubuntu is much more sane in my opinion [18:16] sidlet: im running gentoo on all my servers, but ubuntu just seems a lot more sensible on a workstation [18:16] sidlet: guess i should try 7.04 [18:16] albech, sounds like a plan to me. Until the firefox bug in gutsy is fixed, why not try another browser? [18:17] albech, or you can downgrade to feisty. Its what i'm using and its rock solid. [18:17] !downgrade | sidlet albech [18:17] sidlet albech: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [18:17] i still dont see the need to re-install if all your having is one isue tho. [18:17] what is trackerd? because it's going haywire on my system and my hdd... [18:17] Hey :D [18:17] hello what is the command to see what is my screen Hz ? [18:18] 7.04 is better - seems to see more hardware on install [18:18] sidlet: its causing the system to lock up fairly often though and i cant live with that [18:18] alexou: perhaps use grandr [18:18] albech, try opera until its fixed? :P [18:18] sidlet: there is nothing but a hard reboot [18:18] Can someone tell me 5 reasons to get Ubuntu?

The screen keeps switching off while watching movies with totem - it's not overriding the power saving / screen saver settings [18:35] keiserr: don't be too optimistic. upgrades have a certain chance to break your box, and you might run into some of gutsy's regression problems. so make a backup, and reinstall gutsy from scratch. in case you don't like it you can revert to feisty then [18:35] Patchak: the best way to check why program crashes is to run the program within the terminal.. go to terminal and type "gftp".. then if you are lucky you'll see some error messages [18:35] sidlet: i have two GB of ram [18:35] what is the gpg key for gutsy backports? [18:35] I don't have it! [18:35] Patchak, to be sure and to have an error message you can use your console with the command "scp" [18:35] I'm in desktop/live cd.

[18:36] vcool: you could, but it will make using some proprietary apps, such as flash, java and sometimes wine a bit of a hassle [18:37] drayveal depends what kind of tweaks.. [18:37] #gimp [18:37] tyronepolleri: or go to VLC settings to set the rendering type to x11.. then it'll work with compiz [18:37] sandaru1: i used the update-manager -c and it detected gutsy is available, do you think it is safe to upgrade?

[18:40] drayveal: tweaking is kind of hard, but xorg.conf is a text file (sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf) then you can just copy the tweaks, not that hard [18:40] Amsn also crashes :p, gui are evil [18:40] ehird`: yes you are alive [18:40] That's actually a good question vcool [18:40] drayveal: http://pastebin.ca/777825 [18:40] aight [18:40] tyronepolleri : preferences -> Video -> Output Modules (Select the advance options at bottom).. then select X11 output module as the output module [18:40] genii: good, good [18:41] genii: my internet died [18:41] Patchak, so use the command whith your server information : scp -r user@severName:/pathOftheFolder .

[18:56] Allo arthur [18:56] wait a second [18:56] SpeCon: python-msn is library rather than an application, isn't it? [18:56] SpeCon: you do know that python-msn isnt a program, right? [18:56] sandaru1, yes [18:56] the Kernel line is like so [18:56] dunno [18:56] i didn't know that [18:56] i tought it was a program [18:56] what's the off-topic channel again?

[18:57] a library what is that exactly [18:57] well it doesn't by default with me... [18:58] I'm in desktop/live cd. I've opened the terminal... I typed as root find /boot/grub/stage1 I got (hd1,2) what 's that? [18:58] if I add that, will it allow the splash screen to show? [18:58] when i see Python client msn blabla people would think its a program [18:58] SpeCon: If either a python program that they were using required it (i.e. to connect to msn) or if they were programming something in python to connect to msn. [18:58] SpeCon: the applications use functions specified on those [18:58] oh pici okay [18:58] k sandaru1 [18:58] the thing is i want MSN messenger but more grapical [18:58] drayveal: trail and error :) [18:58] what program could i use to make fetchmail run at set time intervals?

[19:02] or i need to click on an INSTALL icon? [19:02] genii: crontab?

Theoretically [19:13] anyone know whats the fastest, best way for me to refresh my gtk theme after i make changes to the gtkrc file?? [19:13] sandaru1, got the url ? [19:13] SpeCon: run that as a normal user [19:13] i did [19:13] doesn't work either [19:14] [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/bin/emesene'. Probably you must be root to execute this operation. [19:14] drayveal: no that will remove your splash screen..and show you some text... then you'll be able to make sure it's something wrong with your framebuffer drivers..at least that's better than the blank screen :) [19:15] !wireless [19:15] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [19:15] SpeCon: check your desktop [19:15] sandaru1, its not on my desktop the icon [19:15] oh [19:15] i have it [19:15] anyone use xchat like me?

Hopefully I will brb and we can further troubleshoot my splash screen [19:18] Exry: You might want to do a memory test. === m1ke is now known as m1ke_outTOlunch [19:19] usr13: Ok... how, I haven't doen that in Linux... [19:19] sandaru1, yes in my fstab only the drive with xubuntu on it shows up. [19:19] isn't there a easy way of just changing the permissions to my other hdd? [19:19] do i have to add it in fstab? [19:19] what's the gnome version of nano? simple shell text editor that's not vim [19:19] Exry: You can update the system from command line: sudo apt-get update [19:19] palbuddy: mkfs.ntfs /dev/xxx [19:19] in terminal aceman? [19:20] usr13: Ok, I'll test that. But how can I close the little window with the chugging update? (Thats have hung?) I don't know what process that is ^ [19:20] !away > m1ke_outTOlunch (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [19:20] palbuddy: yes. need sudo too [19:20] thank you, I'll try it right now [19:21] TAKE A LOOK AT THIS, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3801087 [19:21] emesene is realy great [19:21] grapical :) [19:21] tnx guy''''''ssssss :) [19:21] palbuddy: add -f switch for quick format (i think!) [19:21] aladinsane: if you are just mounting the drive.. then try mount options, umask and gid [19:21] ceil420: Ubuntu comes with nano installed. It uses gedit as a text editor. [19:21] sorry....newbie so 'sudo mkfs.ntfs/dev/whatever -f'? [19:21] ArthurArchnix, cheers [19:22] palbuddy: sudo mkfs.ntfs -f /dev/whatever [19:22] how do you open gparted? [19:22] thanks! [19:22] np [19:22] sandaru1: im not sure what u meant with "just mounting", this is a drive that sits in my computer and will stay there till the end of times, and i just want to be able to write to it [19:22] Exry: I don't konw about "chugging update" but you could just restart the Xserver: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace [19:23] I know this is a dumb question [19:23] aladinsane: can you read the files in that drive somewhere? [19:23] AQUAg33k: Assuming its installed, you should be able to find it in your menu. [19:23] aladinsane: /media/something? [19:24] Is it under system? [19:24] Can anyone help with a network card issue? [19:24] !ask | vjay2 [19:24] vjay2: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [19:24] sandaru1: theres no files on t, i just formated/partitioned it with gparted to ext3 from ntfs [19:24] #slip [19:24] umit [19:24] Im using gnome dosent gnome automaticaly have gparted? [19:25] AQUAg33k: I don't have it installed, but it might be there. You can also check under system tools under applications. Hitting Alt+F2 and typing gparted might work as well. [19:25] sandaru1: it shows up in nautilus and thunar though, but i cant write to it, it says that i do not have the permissions [19:25] usr13: Yay, that was a fast and easy way. With chugging just meant hung process that i couldn't find a english word for ^^ [19:25] AQUA [19:25] AQUAg33k, try sudo apt-get install gparted .. it will either install or say it's installed. [19:25] gotcha: I've got a fairly new Asus A8V-XE with an integrated Rhine-II network card (VIA VT6102). After heavy network activity, it gives the following error: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out [19:25] aladinsane: are you going to use that drive everyday or is it for just now? [19:25] followed by "eth0: Transmit timed out, status 0002, PHY status 786d, resetting..." repeatedly [19:25] sandaru1: till i die [19:26] hello [19:26] I filed a bug at the beginning of the month, but there hasn't been any activity on it (it's still labeled "new") === ipei is now known as Exry [19:26] Hi, is there any good screen recording softwaer for ubuntu? [19:26] aladinsane: a quick solution would be to go to terminal.. sudo nautilus /media/sdXX [19:26] software* [19:26] :o....i didnt have it installed. ...*slaps self* [19:26] hrm.. i just updated mplayer from update-manager [thnk it was in backports] on 7.04 and now when i right click > open with> mplayer movie player in thunar on xfce, it gives me "Failed to open ". but if i run gmplayer in terminal, it's fine [19:27] vja2: What network device do you have this plugged into? [19:27] is it possible to ignore harddisks at bootup? [19:27] aladinsane: anyhow if you are going to use that frequently.. you'll have to add that to fstab [19:27] akincer: it's a linksys wireless [19:27] hi guys [19:27] vja2: Thought so [19:27] can someone help me with installing corerect nvidia drivers? [19:27] vja2: make sure you have the latest firmware. I've seen bizarre behavior on older firmwares that often kick in with heavy loads [19:27] Exry: Actually, if it happens again, I think the process name is update-manager.desktop You can porbably kill it with sudo pkill update-manager.desktop [19:28] akincer: I'm using a 3rd party firmware; recommend going back to stock? [19:28] aladinsane: if sudo nautilus can't write in that drive.. then that means your drivers doesn't support writing.. install ntfs-3g.. sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g [19:28] vja2: I'm not saying it is the router, but I've seen issues there. [19:28] I'm confused because when I boot up my machine, the nvidia splash pops up. However, when I go into xorg.conf, it lists my card as a generic card, so I cant change twinview! [19:28] usr13: Ok, it happens every time i thry to use it... But can you please write the update command again? I lost it due I used ctrl+alt+backspace [19:28] vja2: It was stock firmware I saw the problem, not third party though [19:28] any help would be great [19:29] vja2: If it isn't too much trouble, I would suggest that to rule the router out [19:29] Exry: I'm sorry, it's just update-manager sudo pkill update-manager [19:29] akincer: fair enough. If it's *not* the router, any other ideas? (for instance, I only see the problem with this network card, and I have other machines wired & wireless on the network) [19:29] could somebody help me whit bootup config or something like that ? [19:29] Hello all [19:29] I'm going to install Gutsy on my IBM T42 [19:29] it's not; I'll definitely try that as a troubleshooting step [19:30] anyone be able to help? [19:30] Should I do the HDD fix that's been posted on line? To prevent excessive wear and tear on the drive? [19:30] !anyone | mikebeecham [19:30] vja2: I would suggest putting in another well known and inexpensive card to rule out some other component so you KNOW it is the network card [19:30] Would a drive show up in gparted if it is unmounted? [19:30] usr13: I just ment that you said I should try to upgrade thou the terminal... I confuse my self.-. [19:30] mikebeecham: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [19:30] anyone know how i can call a color chooser application window? [19:31] AQUAg33k: yes [19:31] vja2: after that, I would suggest taking issue with the manufacturer [19:31] vja2: It might not be a driver issue [19:31] Exry: sudo apt-get upgrade apt-get update-manager [19:31] sandaru1: why should i install anything with ntfs? i just removed nfts from it and am now running ext3, and how do i add it to fstab. I mean the drive is totally empty right now, i can do whatever necceassary to get it to work, and as i said this is a drive that will forever be a part of my system [19:31] hey, i'm a big noob, could someone give me a french chanel ? === anticonstitution is now known as bluzaz [19:31] usr13: Ok, thanks :) [19:31] !fr | AntiSpamMeta [19:31] AntiSpamMeta: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [19:31] Exry: Or: apt-get upgrade [19:31] thx [19:31] bluzaz: Does chanel make a french variety? [19:31] oops that was for bluzaz [19:32] I've got a very strange problem with my 7.10 - the PS/2 keyboard doesn't work. I once hit my PC due to it's noise, and from that day I had to replug the keyboard every time after booting. But now it refuses to work even after replugging it - in recovery mode too. Does anyone have any ideas about it? [19:32] Exry: Is it a pretty primitave system? or...? [19:32] There was a bug opened on the kernel bug tracker with identical symptoms, but it was closed as REJECTED/INVALID. I e-mailed the contact about it [19:32] anticonstitution , xubuntu-fr [19:33] vja2: It could be something that is not kernel/driver related [19:33] usr13: In the terminal I got the error: Segmentation fault (core dumped) - My system, yeah its old and dumb. 512Mb of RAM and a 500Mhz Pentium 4 processor...

I'm following the steeps at pendrivelinux.com under USB Pendrive Linux install from Linux [19:34] vja2: For example: faulty cable, bad firmware in router, faulty network port in router . . . just to name a few [19:34] ubotu: sorry about that...ok. I want to be able to enable twinview through the nvidia drivers. I have enabled restricted drivers, but when I go into xorg.conf, it lists my card as a generic card, with no nvidia or twinview options....what am I doing wrong? [19:34] anyone able to run vmware server 1.0.4 on ubuntu 7.10? [19:34] mikebeecham: ubotu is a bot lol [19:34] anyone know how i can call a color chooser application window? [19:34] :S [19:34] vmware server installs fine, but then won't run [19:34] are there any linux apps that can read DAAP (shared itunes music) in iTunes 7? [19:34] usr13: tested again, and it didn't get that error... Wierd :/ [19:34] always says I need to run vmware-config.pl [19:34] I think I can rule out bad cable & bad port in router. other devices have no problems in the same port. [19:34] tussey: sure [19:35] mosibfu: : sorry about that...ok. I want to be able to enable twinview through the nvidia drivers.

[19:35] mikebeecham: you will need to add those options, and the nvidia driver [19:35] !nvidia [19:35] after i installed ubuntu it didn't add it automatically [19:35] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [19:35] I'm leaning towards weird NIC/router interaction. I'll likely try stock firmware & a PCI network card. [19:35] vja2: If the symptom is heavy load and you don't see the problem with other devices, the problem would seem to lean towards the computer. If you see the symptom with other devices, it obviously points to the router [19:36] mosibfu: but when I boot up my machine, I have the nvidia splash screen appear === goodtod is now known as alevine [19:37] never mind I found it in gparted.

[20:05] everytime I go to ubuntu ops it says Im ok [20:05] Fishfoot: I use k3b [20:05] something where I just tell it all the files to be burned and it does it, asking for new discs as needed, would be nice [20:05] Sajes: remove the cdrom from your source.list [20:05] pici you there? [20:05] and, like i said, i want to freeze to edge rails, like so rake rails:freeze:edge revision=8129 [20:05] Sajes: try editing /etc/apt/sources.list and remove cdrom from there [20:05] IKm having trouble with ym dvd drive, I put in a dvd but nothing shows up in the file manager [20:05] im* [20:06] Weems: What kind of CD? [20:06] DVD-R [20:06] which tells me i need subversion installed first [20:06] well its a dvd [20:06] yeah [20:06] ive tried a cd too [20:06] oh, not me ;) [20:06] self_up: join a ruby on rails support channel [20:06] how can I get bac my Desktop bars these two who are on Desktop?

[20:06] kane77: over write it [20:06] yeah [20:06] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45142/ It seams that i dont have locales. It is a "mini" version of ubuntu on a VPS [20:06] of course i'm there too, just poking around for any ubuntu specifics, but thanks, i'll try there [20:07] ikonia, with what? [20:07] Weems: What version are you on? [20:07] kane77: what ever you want [20:07] kane77: a disk with out a boot sector is pointless, so "something" has to go on there [20:07] 7.10 [20:07] like an XP bootloader, or lilo or a boot loader of your choice [20:07] Does anybody have an aero theme for gtk-window-decorator that works with compiz? [20:08] Is there any manual install howto? (Using debootstrap)? [20:08] Weems: And it's fully updated? [20:08] ian|: manual install for what ? [20:08] pretty sure [20:08] for an ubuntu system [20:08] ubuntu server [20:08] I'm using Ubuntu AMD64 and Firefox tends to crash when using Flash. Anyone know if there's a fix for this? [20:08] ian|: thats quite a long process, I'm not aware of a guide [20:09] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [20:09] jcg: no, flash doesn't work on amd64 and gnash the 64bit open source alternative is still in development [20:09] Hmm. I figured it out. None of the repositories were enabled except the cdrom ones. Now It's updating and working. Thanks guys :) [20:09] ikonia: Using debootstrap was quite simple, but only the most important packages were installed. [20:09] plzzz help I lost my bars on the Desktop... how to get them back? [20:09] Trying again, [20:09] I just changed the file system on one of my drive from Ntfs to Ext3 with Gparted, and now i want to be able to use this drive in Xubuntu but Thunar says i do not have the permissions to write to it, how do i change these permissions?I can see it in Thunar and in Nautilus..And this is a drive that will forever be in the system, NOT just a temporary mount. [20:09] aladinsane: chown or chmod it to the correct users/groups/permissions [20:09] And i think a lot of configuration work has not been done and must be started manually. [20:09] aladinsane: use sudo to act as root [20:09] Does anybody have an aero theme for gtk-window-decorator that works with compiz? [20:10] ian|: thats a fair assumption [20:10] Weems: If it's a Movie or Music CD, that is normal, (nothing will show in the file manager), but try a data CD, (like the Ubuntu CD), and see what happens. [20:10] ikonia, Flash works using Nspluginwrapper on 64-bit Ubuntu. [20:10] ok [20:10] how do i flush the dns cache? [20:10] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45142/ It seams that i dont have locales. It is a "mini" version of ubuntu on a VPS [20:10] jcg: thats still a fudge that can cause bugs [20:10] jcg: ndis is not a solution for flash, drivers, plugins anything [20:10] ikonia: Something like a check list would be nice - but google for "debootstrap ubuntu howto" (or similar) does not gain a lot of useful results [20:11] mindframe- Server's dns cache? [20:11] ikonia, I only ask because last when I installed ubuntu and the bootsector had already grub something got messed up and windows didn't boot... [20:11] ian|: I'm not aware of a guide [20:11] kane77: most likley the menu.lst [20:11] ikonia, Can I install 32-bit Firefox and use the Flash without Nspluginwrapper? [20:11] Does anybody have an aero theme for gtk-window-decorator that works with compiz? [20:11] jcg: you can but thats a large ammount of work and effort, may as well just use 32bit ubuntu unless you have a genuine reason to use 64bit [20:12] ikonia: ok sounds like a soultion i want, could u give me a hint? my drive is: dev/sdc1 Mountpoint: media/disk-1 [20:12] ader10: you may find better help asking on the forum than posting every 30 seconds [20:12] hi [20:12] nabend [20:12] aladinsane: man chown, man chmod, [20:12] ikonia: You can help?

[20:18] zimon: BTW: The "stupid reason" is that I don't have a VGA-cable to attach a screen to my server. My desktop PC uses DVI. And the server does not have a AGP slot, so I cant change cards... *g* [20:19] Any way to move my ubuntu installation to a different partition?

[20:43] Em3raldMcSquizzy, : Doesn't show all my drives [20:44] another question: how do i find out the ubuntu version in a running system? [20:44] Guys, i prefer KDE over GNOME, but Ubuntu... just has more "support" for GNOME. The list of applications, the bugfixes (adept oftenly crashes, and compiz-fusion shows white lines around everything (kde-window-decorator), and the devteam for Ubuntu is bigger, much bigger.. but, KDE 4 comes out next year and i'm kinda 'worried' (not really) that when i use it, it's not stable at all. Although i really prefer KDE. so which should i choose? Oh, [20:44] and, i've noticed that in my previous install, when i boot up gnome it sometimes looks like it takes a minute, but i'd say 15 seconds or so. And applications open slowly too. I don't want that to happen with the new install. And, for a 3 year old (or so) computer, what applications should i use instead of Openoffice, firefox, and the whole bunch? And, if i install such a custom desktop, what will happen if i try to upgrade to Hardy (when [20:44] it's released) and will i have to install ubuntu-desktop, thus installing GNOME in the process? [20:44] (e.g. 6.06 or 7.10) [20:44] shows my external hard drive [20:44] shaka1: that's strange indeed. ... /me ponders for a minute [20:44] Samaseon: System -> About Ubuntu [20:44] Em3raldMcSquizzy, : Shal we me into pm, getting a bit hard [20:44] helppppp i deleted the panel for my minimized applications.....

It don't really see a problem. Using RAM isn't an issue unless the system is slowed down by swapping, or when allocations actually fail. [20:45] Hi there. How do I start Compiz on the Ubuntu live CD? [20:45] shaka1: typically we try to avoid that because others need to learn. Unfortunately, I have to go to the bank for a meeting in 15 minutes. However, there are tutorials on the 'net that are easy to follow. Try googling something like GRUB manual windows help ... sorry I couldn't stay ...

[20:51] Enselic: Oh, I see... sorry [20:51] Enselic, the .blend files are all in separate folders, and I don't know which ones. [20:51] kakoonia: I will confess that there are a couple of corner cases where cached ram is actually not available to be freed. System V shared memory objects and tmpfs file system data are reported as part of the 'cached' memory values. Those actually need to be swapped out to a swap device to be reclaimed. It is a rare corner case that those would be a real issue.

[20:54] dvgrab keeps sending me "Error: no camera exists" [20:54] like having the default options on it [20:55] usr13, Enselic, sorry, I should elaborate - I've just run a filesystem recovery which has created several folders in my /home/ that are only readable as root. In these folders are my .blend files, but I don't know which folders they're in, I'm pretty sure it's random. [20:55] modules *1394 loaded, rights ok, but nothing happens. Any clue ? [20:55] stroyan: i see.. well.. i dont know why i gave my swap partition such big space.. (not that big, but still) 2gb.. i cant see it uses it. and i was wondering if there are cases which swap space is preferable over RAM.. .. [20:55] Jimmey: well run find as root then [20:55] lastelement0 . which options r u serching for ! u can just add them to the pannel [20:56] How do I search for installed packages?

[20:57] Jimmey: :) [20:57] enselic: when i strat ubuntu my wifi does not start, i go to /etc/network/interfaces and unhash settings, then ifup wlan0, my network starts, but i can see nothing in networkmanager; then i hash wlan0 setting in /etc/network/interfaces and network manager is working ok === nuu is now known as nu === nu is now known as nuu [20:57] kakoonia: The only situation where swap is preferable is when you have too much data to afford the RAM to hold it. (Or you just can't fit that much RAM in a system.) But swap is only practical if most of you data goes unaccessed for long periods of time. Actively using swap is very slow. [20:57] Enselic, well.. yes, I did, but it doesn't display.. I guess it needs to be executed later... [20:57] if i put some mp3 files into burn:/// , will they be burnt so that i can listen to them on any cd player? [20:57] beeja1: you can sudo pkill NetworkManager and then sudo NetworkManager --no-daemon to get clues [20:58] Enselic, like wait for all the stuff to start and to be run only then... [20:58] kazol3: Synaptic can do it no? [20:59] kane77: sorry but I lost context, what am I helping you with? [20:59] Enselic: Using the terminal. [20:59] Enselic, conky on startup [20:59] ah right [20:59] I hate using the GUI. [20:59] can i setup xnview program to ubuntu amd64? [21:00] Enselic, I had the same problem with screenlets.. when I had all of them start at the same time some of them didn't start... [21:00] stroyan: so the system determines which of my data is unaccessed for a long period of time, and by that.. it throws it to the Swap? [21:00] Thanks Enselic that worked [21:00] how do you mount .iso files in this? I´m installing Oblivion on here [21:00] kane77: then make a script that execute the dependent-sensitive ones in the right order [21:00] lastelement0 . after u added the new panel , right click the panel and select add tp panel [21:01] !iso > Ongaku [21:01] !iso > Ensellic [21:01] !iso > Enselic [21:01] Ahmad, thanks but Enselic gave me the fix i needed [21:01] enselic: thx [21:01] kakoonia: If there isn't any free RAM or freeable cache, then something will be pushed out to swap.

[21:40] multidex, you also have to specify a mount point in your file system [21:40] i'm trying to install a java update in update manager...but it says i need to fix a borken package it syas..to run borken filter thing...can anyone please help me fix this? [21:40] is there a way to get into gnome for the first time and start the installation ? [21:40] dajhorn: working on it now [21:40] multidex so you need to make a directory and point to that [21:40] anyone know how i add a clipboard manager thing to my panel on feisty? [21:40] mehevi: like mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1/home? [21:41] fxr_: glipper [21:41] thanks atlef , ll check that out.. [21:41] A-L-A-R-M: get alternate cd and try with it [21:41] Can anyone help me fix this?: http://imagebin.ca/view/Vml8R7.html [21:41] what do u mean ? [21:41] multidex no like mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/mount [21:41] Grozo: The old kernel HOWTO document says "ignore=hdX", but this may not apply to current kernels. [21:42] A-L-A-R-M: download alternate cd and then install, it is text base instalation [21:42] i see [21:42] A-L-A-R-M: When the boot menu comes up (where it says Run / Install Ubuntu), hit SAFE GRAPHICS MODE [21:42] sn00zer: yea, sorta :) [21:43] Flare183: Click "System -> Preferences -> Appearance" and choose a better theme. [21:43] dajhorn: really dumb Q, why am i unable to 'chown root:cdrom cdrom' as sudo for the cdrom symbolic link [21:43] oh ok [21:43] hey people, i got something playing in a flash player is there someway i can record that as an mp3 file on linux [21:43] hello [21:43] dajhorn, oke, en thats in my grub menu list ? [21:43] okie i will check that [21:43] A-L-A-R-M: if that fails, the alternate CD is a quicker way to install also [21:43] Grozo: Do it by pushing ESC at boot time and changing it there, so that it isn't permanent. [21:44] dajhorn:> yeah thanks! [21:44] when i have my pc without internet connection my ubuntu is so slow, why? [21:44] really thank you [21:44] i could have thought of that [21:44] ... [21:44] britt_: You need the -h flag to change ownership on a symlink, but if the target device node has the correct ownership, then you have another problem. [21:44] next`MiLLeN: Shouldn't be.... Should be no difference. [21:44] dajhorn, thx i'm goingt to try this! [21:44] luke_ you can redirect your audio device to a wav file [21:45] jc but the difference is increible... [21:45] hi all [21:45] luke_ like cat /dev/audio > /home/user/recording.wav [21:45] next`MiLLeN: All the applications run slow? [21:45] MilitantPotato: any ideas as to why nothing changes? [21:45] mehevi, cheers mate, i am a newbie could you please help me with some more info, i would really appreciate that [21:45] You have 1 broken package on your system!.............................how do i fix this error??

[21:45] a freind from me has a problem with the live cd [21:45] next`MiLLeN: That's interesting. [21:45] hey guys what are the commandline flags to set Onboard size and window geometry? It's an on screen keyboard [21:46] shawn_selig29, sudo apt-get install -f # you could try that [21:46] but if i put online, so fast..... [21:46] when he boots it says out of range 85hz [21:46] how to fix that?+# [21:46] next`MiLLeN: Try: /etc/init.d/networking stop [21:46] my keyboard stops working for some apps sometimes, and then starts again, or if i close the app and reload it, then it types in it again [21:46] what is a good antivirus for ubuntu [21:46] jc i try [21:46] ubuntu doesnt need antivirus [21:46] aciddrop: ClamAV [21:46] next`MiLLeN: See if that makes a difference... [21:46] pvl1, which app gives you this problem? [21:46] okeys [21:46] hey guys [21:47] next`MiLLeN: sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop [21:47] guys [21:47] Dshepherd: firefox, pidgin [21:47] cause i trying to install a java update ...and it came up that [21:47] pvl1, oh.. [21:47] dajhorn: the target has ownership of root:cdrom, the symlink has root:root, but i tried removing the symlink and re-doing it, same thing [21:47] jc okeys [21:47] how do i stop tor from going to specific sites? (like.. bypass tor and use regular browsing?) [21:47] mehevi, i tried and then i press ctrl+c to stop recording, vlcplayer says nothing to play [21:47] any idea what am i doing wrong. [21:47] britt_: Okay, then you've got a non-ownership problem. [21:47] pvl1, i had that problem with frostwire.. but it seemed to be more of a bug with frostwire than anything else. [21:47] madman91: "tor" ? [21:47] jc: onion router [21:48] dajhorn: the -h fixed it [21:48] pvl1, i dont know why firefox and pidgin would behave that way though... [21:48] Dshepherd, oh. thanks tho [21:48] how do mount my sdb1 drive at it's /home directory but name it something else, because I can't get to my sda1 home directory [21:48] pvl1, usb keyboard?

[21:48] Dshepherd, nope [21:48] dshepherd, i typed that command..it cmae up about java update thing..i said yes to contiue.....it quit with this message "No theme index file in '/usr/share/icons/sun-java5.png'. [21:48] "....... [21:48] mehevi, sorry, how do i do that? [21:49] dajhorn: i dunno, at least i *can* mount it. I guess thats all that matters. [21:49] luke_ touch test.wav will make the file [21:49] pvl1, have you tried another keyboard? or a usb connection maybe?.. again.. I am just guessing here [21:49] jc yes, when i put network off, is all fast [21:49] Dshepherd, no i have not [21:49] britt_: One last thing to try... create a new dummy user and try it as that user. [21:49] sn00zer: try running sudo sensors-detect [21:50] pvl1, well i would try that out just to make sure my keyboard is not moody [21:50] next`MiLLeN: Hummm... that's interesting. What processor? [21:50] dajhorn: create a user su to that user and then mount it [21:50] how do i stop "tor" from going to a site? (bypass tor, to get to 192.168.0.1,for example [21:50] MilitantPotato: yes to all? [21:50] jc in my two pcs is the same [21:50] sn00zer: answer y to all [21:50] yea [21:50] britt_: Actually login to a gnome desktop as that user. Doing this will isolate for a busted profile. [21:50] one is one centrino, other one dual core [21:50] mehevi, ok, thought it required some special headers etc [21:51] mehevi, but it does create the wav file just that the player cant play it says nothing to play [21:51] how do i stop "tor" from going to a site? (bypass tor, to get to 192.168.0.1,for example [21:52] MilitantPotato: ok, here's what i've got http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45156/ [21:52] madman91: Try the FoxyProxy plugin, which will let you set Firefox rules for this kind of thing. [21:52] can anyone help with my audio problem, I had working audio when I installed, but I booted up today and there is no sound at all, all apps that use sound just crash. [21:53] jc now? [21:53] what i do? [21:53] dajhorn: tor bypasses proxies [21:53] luke_ hmm, maybe you should route it to the microphone? [21:53] luke_ sorry dude I dont know [21:53] MilitantPotato: i followed this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto to install the sensors [21:53] next`MiLLeN: What?

(What CPU speed and how much memory, etc.) [21:55] jc this is a dual core e6300 with 1 gb RAM [21:55] other one centrino 1'8 with 512 [21:56] next`MiLLeN: I have no idea why it would run slow with network on and fast when off. Doesn't make any sense to me. [21:56] okey [21:56] i tried to update my ubuntu the other day (# sudo apt-get update and then # sudo apt-get upgrade). now php has completely vanished from my system [21:56] thanks you :) [21:57] #sudo apt-get install php5 returns an error [21:57] MilitantPotato: i don't mind restarting, i can check the bios and see what the temp is according to it [21:57] sn00zer: sounds good [21:57] I have a question regarding widgets [21:57] MilitantPotato: brb [21:58] I would like to have a weather and a clock widget on screen with transparent backgrounds how the heck do I do it? [21:58] anyone can help? [21:58] Can anyone help with installing apache1.3 and mod-perl in ubuntu gutsy? [21:58] ianq: `apt-get dist-upgrade` is sorta-kinda-mostly an unsupported way of upgrading to Gutsy. You probably want the libapache2-mod-php5 package. [21:59] dajhorn: thanks, let me try that quickly [21:59] meep === jared_ is now known as KI4IKL [22:00] dajhorn: hmm, # apt-get dist-upgrade said the following: [22:00] The following packages have been kept back: [22:00] gnupg libcupsys2 mdadm mysql-client-5.0 mysql-server-5.0 rsync samba [22:00] samba-common smbclient smbfs udev [22:00] hello [22:00] can anyone tell me how I can stretch the panels across both monitors within twinview? [22:01] ianq: After the dist-upgrade finishes, run `apt-get install gnupg` et al individually. [22:01] any body from barcelona [22:01] ianq: Upgrading one or more of those packages will cause a downgrade or uninstall. [22:01] in need of quick help [22:02] dajhorn: it now says that those are up to date (is already the newest version.) [22:02] hmm [22:02] inaq: Run `apt-get clean` and `apt-get update` and try again. [22:02] trying to download getlibs-all.deb from the official thread but the server is down [22:02] hi guys [22:02] anyone have it? [22:02] is there a GUI tool for configuring netatalk in (x)ubuntu [22:02] i was wondeirng if anybody knew howto get a belkin f5u103 usb to serial adapter working in ubuntu? [22:02] I have linux as default boot in grub, how can I tell grub to boot just for the next time , to boot windows? [22:03] inaq: Also check for 3rd party repositories in the /etc/init.d/apt/sources.list file. The dist-upgrade method won't automatically disable them, which is necessary for a clean upgrade. [22:03] I have a Problem when i turn on my Mac G4 that the screen becomes all black and wavey any help? [22:03] dajhorn: thanks. now it seems like it's upgrading things. hopefully i'll be able to get php back onto the system once the packages are updated [22:03] MilitantPotato: nothing changed, cpu temp according to bios is the MB temp in sensors and MB temp is the Intel cpu temp [22:04] ok, having some dual monitor issues with Gutsy, can anyone help me? both of my screens have adopted desktop resolutions higher than their rendered resolution. This gives me a scrolling effect that is ... well... sub optimal. I know both of the monitors are capable of displaying the desktop resolution. Can anyone tell me how to fix what is going wrong? === MilitantPotat1 is now known as MilitantPotato [22:05] hi guys...can anyone tell me how I can stretch panels across two monitors in TwinView? [22:06] theTrav: First, try changing to the desired resolution with "System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution". [22:06] also...is there a channel where I can get help installing usenet software? [22:06] so it will automatically download nzb files? [22:07] dajhorn: it gives me an error message, saying The X Server does not support the XRandR extension [22:07] Are you using the bundled drivers or proprietary drivers? [22:07] I believe that is because I've used the system-> administration-> Screens and Graphics way of setting up [22:07] Can someone help me install hellahella... I am having a "hella"va time getting it to work [22:07] I'm using the nvidia drivers that the restricted driver manager installed [22:08] I believe that's bundled [22:08] dajhorn: alright, things have been updated, but i still cannot install php [22:08] usb device isn't showing up in 'lsusb' or in hardware manager. what should i try next? [22:08] MilitantPotato: nothing changed, cpu temp according to bios is the MB temp in sensors and MB temp is the Intel cpu tem [22:08] wholy moley [22:08] Matt2: What type of device is it? [22:08] I've got like, 7 xorg.conf backups [22:08] it's a plantronics headset [22:09] sn00zer: Ah :) None of them go up with 100% CPU usage? [22:09] Does anyone know how to set up usenet software in Gutsy Gibbon? [22:09] That's a little excessive lmao. [22:09] dajhorn: #apt-get install php5 for example returns: php5: Depends: libapache2-mod-php5 (>= 5.1.2-1ubuntu3.9) but it is not going to be installed or [22:09] php5-cgi (>= 5.1.2-1ubuntu3.9) but it is not going to be installed [22:09] theTrav: I don't have a computer handy where I can check the "right way" of fixing this... If you are comfortable poking around in config files, then you may get the desired result by removing the sync lines and/or removing the too-high resolution lines. [22:09] theTrav: If you botch an edit to the xorg.conf file then you'll have a bigger problem. [22:10] yeah, I'm not super keen on xorg.conf [22:10] I had some ... trouble, on my desktop messing with that [22:10] MilitantPotato: the MB temp in sensors went up 2 degrees while trackerd was indexing but that was the only change i saw, although according to the bios temps they are labeled wrong or something? [22:10] sn00zer: you can change the names with gksudo gedit /etc/sensors.conf === wirechief is now known as wirechief1 [22:10] theTrav: cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.bak [22:10] inaq: Try `apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5`. The problem here is that php5 is a dummy package in Gutsy, and two other packages provide it. [22:10] When i boot my Mac G4 the screen is all black wavy andi cant get to the terminal. any help? [22:10] other usb devices are detected and work fine. and i know that the headset is good too. it worked fine in fedora [22:11] inaq: Most people want the PHP module instead of the PHP cgi. === wirechief1 is now known as wirechief [22:11] ianq: Sorry, my tab completion is wonky. [22:11] it may be a matter of picking the correct monitors from the screens and graphics window [22:11] Does anyone know how to set up usenet software in Gutsy Gibbon? === wirechief is now known as wirechief1 [22:11] dajhorn: that's fine. are we talking about libapache2-mod-php5? [22:11] I can't find any that match my current monitors so I've been going with the closest match [22:11] ianq: Yes. [22:12] hi can someone tell me how to compress a directory? I tried bzip2 -k mydir but that didn't work :( [22:12] dajhorn: well, that one's funny too. look at this: The following packages have unmet dependencies: [22:12] libapache2-mod-php5: Depends: php5-common (= 5.1.2-1ubuntu3.9) but 5.1.6-1ubuntu2.6 is to be installed [22:12] hey everyone i have downloaded an .emerald theme. how do i get it installed? [22:13] ianq: Pastebin your sources.list file. You've either got 3rd party repositories or you're forced a version at some point. [22:13] lastelement0 you need a theme manager [22:13] I had one on my last install but forget what it was [22:13] dajhorn: one moment [22:13] lastelement0: open emerald and click import :) [22:13] militantpotato how do i install emerald. i dont believe i have it installed [22:13] ianq: Or the dist-upgrade never happened and you've got Gutsy repositories on an earlier system. [22:14] lastelement0: open synaptic and search for emerald [22:14] dajhorn: http://pastebin.com/d507e635c [22:15] dajhorn: yeah, i am totally puzzled as to what happened. i installed ubuntu server for the first time only a few months ago; i used to use gentoo before, so i'm relatively new to ubuntu [22:15] Zofo: The framebuffer gunk in Gutsy puts the display on some PPC iMac computers into la-la land. Choose the alternate at the boot prompt to install the system. [22:16] can someone please tell me how to compress a whole dir with bzip2? [22:16] ianq: The upgrade to Gutsy has hosed many computers. [22:16] ak5: mc [22:17] hellanzb [22:17] ianq: First, check whether you have sources "stubs" in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory. [22:17] beeja1: uh so you mean bzip2 -mck mydir ? [22:17] dajhorn: i installed ubuntu with the alternate cd. is there anyway i can fix it now. sorry for sounding like a noob [22:17] dajhorn: that's good to know :-( [22:17] Who was asking about usenet? [22:17] How can I check whether I have compiz-fusion or not? [22:17] dajhorn: that directory is empty [22:17] is compiz fusion compatible with kde or gnome [22:17] raga secondo voi se apro un virus per winzozz con wine potrei avere problemi??? [22:17] ianq: Okay, second, make a backup of the sources.list file. [22:18] ak: run mc in terminal [22:18] sorry [22:18] beeja1: oh ok [22:18] there are options for zipping [22:18] dajhorn: done [22:18] * dajhorn slaps forehead [22:18] mikebeecham: sudo apt-get install hellanzb [22:18] beeja1: thx I apt-got it ^_^ [22:19] ianq: You can't upgrade directly from Dappter to Gutsy. [22:19] ak5: Do you want to produce a directory full of compressed files, or one file that contains all of the directory in an archive format? [22:19] militantpotato, ok i have emerald installed and imported my theme, now how do i apply it [22:19] dajhorn: how can i upgrade? [22:19] lastelement0: in terminal type emerald --replace & disown [22:19] lastelement0: You just select the theme and use it from the theme selection thing. =b [22:19] <_4a42_> does ubuntu/gnome have a good rss aggregater that looks like a scrolling news ticker? [22:19] ianq: Best to just do fresh install. [22:19] ianq: You need to walk all of the releases in between. Dapper to Edgy, etc. [22:20] excuse me, how can I move my /home directory to another partition?, and also is it possible to do this when I install ubuntu? === tige is now known as bit [22:20] jc: can't do a fresh install. too much data on server w/o backup drives atm [22:20] stroyan: I have directory full of files I want to migrate to another system. I want to compress the whole directory + subdirs keeping structure intact if possible [22:20] dajhorn: how many are there in between? [22:20] chuy_max: You need to know where the partitions are at first. [22:20] ianq: Agreed. Fresh install. Gutsy will eat your system. [22:20] chuy_max: You can move it [22:20] Does anyone know how to set up usenet software in Gutsy Gibbon? [22:20] Pultron, /dev/hdb1 [22:20] ianq: Dapper, Edgy, Feisty, Gutsy. [22:20] chuy_max: You change the FSTAB file to mount /home as some folder on another partition [22:20] militantpotato, i got "Could not acquire decoration manager selection on screen [22:20] how do I make ftp in bash connect through a proxy [22:21] dajhorn: shit. is that how every release is like? [22:21] Pultron: And what about your second one? [22:21] crap [22:21] lamo [22:21] !ohmy | ianq Pultron [22:21] ianq Pultron: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [22:21] chuy_max: And wheres your second one? [22:21] chuy_max: You can also set that up during the install, just do a custom thing - and mount the particular partition as /home [22:21] ianq: No, Gutsy is the first botchup. [22:21] sorry [22:21] ok [22:21] howdy all [22:21] is it possible to run a thin client that boots from server but uses its own grafic card instead the one that is on the server? [22:21] ianq: This is especially true if your server is using LVM or EVMS. Gutsy will certainly eat your system. [22:21] dajhorn, how is gutsy seen as a botchup? [22:21] how do I set up a computer as a ssh server [22:21] dajhorn: how do i upgrade to edgy? [22:22] dajhorn: or to any of the following releases for that matter? [22:22] boa noite [22:22] lastelement0: EVMS, Tracker, Compiz. Lot's of "gutsy sucks" chatter in the forums. [22:22] how do I set up a computer as a ssh server??? [22:22] Pultron from hda1 to hdb1 [22:22] como vão vocês? [22:22] i see === ohgood is now known as ohgone [22:22] militantpotato that did not work [22:22] Super Sonic, there should be an option to upgrade in your Update Manager [22:22] chuy_max mv -f /dev/hda1/home/yourusername /dev/hdb1/home/ [22:23] lastelement0: For specific example, you can do a supported EVMS install with the 'server' ISO and the upgrade to Gutsy will make the system non-bootable. [22:23] Super-Sonic-Sega: just write in the terminal: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [22:23] beeja1: sry, but I can't find the options to compress my dir with mc [22:23] ak5: If you want to move one big file to represent a directory, then you want an archive format like the tar command, tar -cjf foo.tar.bz2 foo [22:23] chuy_max: Make sure to mount that partition :D [22:23] k [22:23] ianq: Does it have a DVD drive? [22:23] Pultron, ok, I see, and I just put it in fstab :) [22:23] and how do I make ftp connect through a proxy [22:23] lastelement0: For another example, doing an `apt-get dist-upgrade` to Gutsy will give your a busted trackerd install that will eat 100% of system resources. [22:23] stroyan thx [22:23] chuy_max: Glad I could help! :D [22:23] I need some serious help getting my Nvidia driver working, I've installed another card before with no issues.. and this one worked for a couple days... but now it won't === johncc is now known as VSpike [22:23] jc: nope [22:24] lovely lol [22:24] jc: it's sitting in the basement with a lan cable in it and that is it [22:24] ? [22:24] Super-Sonic-Sega: you mean over the browser? [22:24] in bash [22:24] j ubuntu-es [22:24] Super-Sonic-Sega: you need an FTP client first. [22:24] I have bash [22:24] ak5: Then you would unpack that on another system with tar -xf foo.tar.bz2 [22:24] I can get the Nvidia driver installed and it seems to work fine, but then whenever I reboot I end up in Failsaife graphics mode [22:24] lastelement0: sudo killall gtk-window-manager [22:24] I type ftp then the host [22:24] followed by emerald --replace & disown [22:24] ( ubuntu-es¡ [22:25] sometimes I cannot type anything in programs, but I can again if I rightclick in a text field and choose Input method -> SCIM input method... :\ I would like that to be the standard input metod in all programs.

I installed Xubuntu Gutsy on an older machine to test out my wifi card, it worked great out of the box, my question is, am I going to see a great benefit in ugrading my fiesty to gutsy. If i upgrade to gutsy is it better to do a fresh install or upgrade through the update manager? [23:07] Super-Sonic-Sega, that is not installing - that is getting - what program is it === Marriedman is now known as BigDaddy_ [23:07] gFTP [23:07] Wow, that is pretty cool [23:07] grrr... someone took my name [23:07] for those who know ConvertXtoDVD , let me tell me that it works perfectly with wine in gutsy [23:07] I open it and it goes to package Installer [23:07] just updating works fine [23:07] tyronepolleri: it installs fine, and is a great audio system, but it will take some configuring on your part to get everything working correctly. [23:08] Anyways, anyone at all. NO-IP ??? [23:08] Super-Sonic-Sega, so sudo apt-get install gftp gets it and installs it [23:08] Super-Sonic-Sega: use apt-get [23:08] Super-Sonic-Sega: aptitude, apt-get familiar to you? [23:08] k [23:08] Super-Sonic-Sega: try to type in the terminal or konsole: sudo apt-get install gftp [23:08] Super-Sonic-Sega: instead of blaming linux for the things you're not familiar with ;) [23:08] ctothej: is it hard? i am a newby [23:08] no, it's not difficult [23:09] i cant find any relevant (recent) guide online to add a user to netatalk. ive installed netatalk by synaptic package manager, but all the guides ive found requires an fresh compile of netatalk (and kernel patch) which makes me think "this isnt the guide i should use" [23:09] tyronepolleri: I believe that there are some good setup instructions on the web in the wiki and forums. [23:09] just make sure you're a root user (sudo) [23:09] can anyone tell me where i might find a guide to add a user for netatalk? [23:09] or at least smb?

(Both are running ubuntu 7.10) Apparently there were merges in some of the config files between 7.04 and 7.10 and none of the current documentation out there has been written for guttsy [23:10] tyronepolleri: I've tried it once before and had it mostly working, but it puts extra stress on your cpu, as it has to mix the audio together from multiple audio sources (software mixing). Its great for a sound server to play sound on 1 set of speakers from multiple machines though. [23:10] OK, how about FTP servers. Anyone familiar with those?

You will then configure it using the "advanced desktop effects" under system -> preferences [23:54] Metal-Maniac-Mat: run it as root [23:54] tushyd: you using ndiswrapper [23:54] ? [23:54] I DID [23:54] السلام [23:54] !ar [23:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about ar - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:54] how do I change xubuntu back into ubuntu [23:54] adac2: nope, it was working for a while [23:54] is it just sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop?

All I see is a "lost and found" directory. Any suggestions on how I can actually start adding files to this partition? [23:57] console? [23:57] Hi, some minutes ago, I tried to install ubuntu, but the system (or the screen?) frooze. Maybe its just a graphic error, because I didn't left IRC with ping timeout. What can I do this time ?
