[00:00] ARTHURARCHNIX ==> Yes, I'm in that window now. [00:00] tuxfield: can you help me with a problem I have that relates to spanish information [00:00] the repositories of treviño for Gutsy?? [00:00] yes [00:01] oh and is there an add on for firefox that make it open sites like IE cause the site of my university suport only IE [00:01] hi again :) is there a way to check what button of mice is binded to what, I mean pressing well getting something else? [00:01] i just updated a bunch of packages and now firefox won't start up. my desktop icon (to my hard drive) is gone also. any ideas what is wrong? [00:01] (i updated only the things ubuntu automatically told me needed updating) [00:01] i'd try searching online but firefox won't start up.. how can i see a process manager pls? [00:01] !mice [00:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about mice - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:01] u think /etc /home /usr /var will be enuff ? [00:02] misterecs: Ok, it sounds like your in the network manager window. That's connected with /etc/network/interfaces I think. 7.04 is different from 7.10, so I can't try any of this myself. But can you post the output of "cat /etc/network/interfaces" without quotes [00:02] !mouse [00:02] Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [00:02] knoppix, can u give me the link of your university please ? [00:02] tuxfield: I don't speak spanish very well. I am in Nicaragua and I know a guy who wants to set up an education centre with edubuntu and thinstations. His sys-admin only speaks spanish. Can you provide me with some spanish reference links that I can give her for setting up edubuntu on thinstations? [00:02] ok but i hope you know hebrew [00:02] :) [00:02] ArthurArchnix ==> Will do, one moment. [00:02] tuxfield: apparently the edubuntu manual is only in english [00:02] knoppix: such a thing exists, but it's only for windows (And I think os/x) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419 [00:02] ye i know its only for windows [00:03] is there a way to check what button of mice is binded to what, I mean pressing well getting something else? [00:03] soundray - good one, kubuntu rocks, thanks [00:03] well, you _are_ asking in an ubuntu channel, so who knows ;) [00:03] i hoped that there is one unoficial for ubuntu 2 [00:03] ahh [00:03] Jamiesss: my backups are for my data, I'm comfortable with the idea of a reinstall; I do the etc home var usr/local and menu.lst since that's where any configs/data would be; the only thing extra I do is dpkg --get-selections > ~/archive/package.list prior to a backup so I have a record of my package state [00:03] ArthurArchnix: sorry mate asking again [00:03] IE explorer would need to be installed. Is it ActiveX components that your uni uses? [00:04] When plugging in an external drive, I get an error message that says "Unable to get a lock on /media/.hal-mtab". Any idea what that means? [00:04] ArthurArchnix: helix is for ubuntu as well [00:04] is there a way to check what button of mice is binded to what, I mean pressing wheel getting something else? [00:04] or is it just failing because it doesn't detect IE? Some sites will do that, although they work fine if you send IE as your user agent. [00:04] look i solved thoes problems for myself by installing VMware [00:04] ArthurArchnix: ?? [00:04] Yeah. Just go to add/remove, its a supported app in the repos. [00:04] but for me it's not a solution [00:04] is there a specific team within Ubuntu that handles the "look and feel" of Ubuntu. Themes, sound schemes, icons, that stuff? [00:04] i want ubuntu only on my system [00:05] dont want windows on it === qmario__ is now known as QMario [00:05] will i need 2 backup my /sys dir? [00:05] slylock: Response above. [00:05] knoppix: you can get IE running under Wine ... Version 6 at least ... Google has more [00:05] knoppix: again, is there ActiveX objects on your Uni website that need to run? Because it could be failing because it expects the IE user agent to be sent, some sites (not very many) will work if you just send that user agent. [00:06] i have vmware server [00:06] WorkingOnWise, they have some stuff kind of about that on their site https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork [00:06] ArthurArchnix: you there? [00:06] or do whta RobD suggests. [00:06] Jamiesss: no, that's dynamic. sbackup will also exclude /proc and /dev [00:06] Freaky_T: ty [00:06] is there a way to check what button of mice is binded to what, I mean pressing wheel getting something else? [00:06] dont know [00:07] i will talk to the university admin tommorow [00:07] ARTHURARCHNIX ==> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45433/ [00:07] 10 any way [00:07] RobD: don't you need wine, and wine-doors? [00:07] after the last update, i no longer have an icon for my windows partition in "computer:///". anyone else have this problem? how do i fix this pls? [00:07] knoppix: I have had good luck with Ies4 linux...ever IE7 [00:07] any1 know how can i fix the open office problem? [00:07] even IE7 [00:07] knoppix: http://blog.wired.com/wiredphotos37/2007/07/user-agent-swit.html [00:08] See if you can access the site using that add on, if you switch to IE user agent. Then see if everything works properly. [00:08] ArthurArchnix: at the boot menu, when I click on Microsoft Windows Whistler Personal, it just says that it cant find it on the disk and makes me go back to the menu [00:08] abcent: yup. Not sure bout WineDoors. [00:08] backups r so handy [00:08] linux rox like [00:08] i will need 2 get a network storage drive that works i currently have a netgear s101 n its crap [00:09] RobD: I've just gone through the pain of running M$ apps .... and required both [00:09] i should have go 1 that supported linux [00:09] sup guys [00:09] might b able to use it with crossover [00:09] hey i have a question [00:10] abcent: this, to save a lot of hassle, is why I run windows under VMWare :-) [00:10] ARTHURARCHNIX ==> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45433/ [00:10] up till now....wat are the games not playable on ubuntu? cause i tried the lvie cd thing and exes didnt work.. [00:10] misterecs: That looks ok to me... but then, I'm using gutsy. paste the output of "ifconfig -a" [00:10] nomojob: [00:10] RobD: I've never tried VMWare [00:11] nomojob: Post the output of "fdisk -l" and "cat /grub/boot/menu.lst" and let me know if you can boot ubuntu, but just xp is failing to boot. [00:11] anyone know? [00:11] last set of package updates break anything for anyone? like automounting drives? [00:11] ArthurArchnix: ok... [00:11] GRiMReAPeR: .exe's are not an executable under linux like they are on windows. They are built for windows and won't run natively on a *nix machine. You need some sort of emulator (incorrect term for wine) that pretends to be windows, even then it's hit or miss. [00:11] cause im a gamer and i would rather not go to ubuntu if it wont run my games.. [00:12] hmm [00:12] yea....wine.. [00:12] not so sure about that thing [00:12] lol [00:12] abcent: for me it's the best way to run Windows specific bits without wrestling with Wine [00:12] GRiMReAPeR: dual boot, wine is ok with some games, but never adequate [00:12] GRiMReAPeR: What games, what kind of system? I remember the game days, and setting it up under linux wasn't my most enjoyable time. [00:12] abcent: but each to their own [00:12] getting it towrk ok, it was not easy, and rarely did what I expected. [00:12] bf2..cod4 [00:12] all the comptetion ones [00:12] yeah... I would dual boot, if anything. [00:12] RobD: very true :) [00:13] !enter GRiMReAPeR [00:13] hmm [00:13] grim, if you're trying to game anything beyond minesweeper or solitare, i'd stick to windows for windows games [00:13] !enter | GRiMReAPeR [00:13] lol [00:13] You are going to have your hands full, and when things break, or don't work right, well you're in trouble if you don't want to spend some time on it. [00:13] i guess ur right man [00:13] GRiMReAPeR: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:13] wine isn't so great for anything complex/big/recent [00:14] wine is for drinking (I admire winehq's effort, but not the concept) [00:14] the one thing thats really good is that it uses alot less resources...which would prob help with the gaming. [00:14] ARTHURARCHNIX ==> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45434/ [00:14] GRiMReAPeR: I setup Jedi Knight 2, on a 1GHz box, with a crappy i810 graphics card under debian with wine. On windows it ran fine (nothing fancy, but fine) on that setup it ran at like 2FPS. I couldn't even begin to play. [00:14] did the last packages update cause ppl trouble this week? [00:14] not to mention it took me hours to get to that point. ;) [00:15] hmm, see i have a 8800...so i really wanna get an os thatll let me use the most of my pc as i can [00:15] ARTHURARCHNIX ==> BE RIGHT BACK . . . SORRY. [00:15] brb [00:15] there is some thing better than wine : 1) crossover office (only the try out version is free) 2) VMware server/player (free) [00:15] GRiMReAPeR: yeah, but windows is a decent platform for games, and unfortunately companies aren't making too many linux games. Talk to your game suppliers though, tell them you want linux support. [00:15] hey all [00:15] . [00:15] ditto [00:15] Why is it when i get disconnected from a secured wireless network, it would ask back for the passkey again? [00:15] GRiMReAPeR: It sounds nice, until you realize you're running linux AND emulating a windows layer, now you're not using all those resources. [00:15] using/saving* [00:16] can someone help me i cant get into my ipod with ssh... it says "ssh: connect to host 192.168.2.9 port 22: Connection refused" [00:16] You know how a forced check is placed on the main hard drive every 28 times or whatever? It checks, but then this happens: http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/299/hpim0626yn4.jpg My password doesn't work. I was told to try a Live CD, but I get an error when I try to fun fsck about the HDD not being ext2 (it is ext3). ??? [00:16] o.O [00:16] !pastebin [00:16] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [00:16] Does anyone know why I get a "Error calling tar" When I try to Fetch non GPL'd Themes from Emerald Themer in Gutsy [00:16] i just ran the sbackup utility and the /var/backup folder is very small [00:16] yea, I guess I'll stick with vista. [00:16] ipod via ssh? [00:16] windego40, this is for ubuntu support, not ipod [00:16] should it not b smaller ? [00:16] windego40 - you need a frontend for iptables firewall and open tcp port 22 [00:16] bigger ** [00:16] u can ssh to your ipod? that is wicked [00:17] install windows xp [00:17] GRiMReAPeR: vista, I feel your pain. Do us all a favour though, send one more letter to the game manufacturers and demand linux support. [00:17] ARTHURARCHNIX ==> i'm back, any ideas? [00:17] GRiMReAPeR: also, if you really want to take advantage of your resources, don't run vista ;) [00:17] you will enjoy your 8800 much better [00:17] ArthurArchnix: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45435/ [00:17] lol. "install XP." lol i actually havent had any prob at all with vista [00:17] gnutron: how would i do that? [00:17] is there a way to get irc to pop up .jpgs>? [00:18] GRiMRePeR: same here [00:18] just kinda looking for a change of pace if u know wat i mean [00:18] some of the games i saw want a min of 1 GB of memory on XP and 2GB on vista [00:18] windego40 - install lokkit or firestarter and open port 22 [00:18] hmm [00:18] gnutron: thanks [00:18] thats weird...lol [00:18] You know how a forced check is placed on the main hard drive every 28 times or whatever? It checks, but then this happens: http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/299/hpim0626yn4.jpg My password doesn't work.

[00:19] i bought a laptop for school and vista on it formated it after a month [00:19] GRiMRePeR: same here, crysis demo [00:19] Okay, this channel is for Ubuntu help, not Vista and playing games. Save that for ##widnows. [00:19] ARTHURARCHNIX ==> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45434/ [00:19] ##windows [00:20] lol [00:20] GRiMRePeR: not a bad game, but i dout linux can run games of that NATURE [00:20] ok......anyway.. what ARE the games that work with WINE?

[00:22] GRiMRePeR: hold on a sec, i'll try and list what wine supports [00:22] i know [00:22] ARTHURARCHNIX ==> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45434/ [00:22] xp much better [00:22] wat is it with people and vista....im actually happy with it.....its just if theres something better AND its free...why not?? lol [00:22] jimjam: it's "remount,ro" in that line, not "remount-ro" [00:22] jimjam: you shouldn't need anything in fstab for an external usb to mount, the system should do it automagically [00:22] nickrud: Yes, but I want it in a consistent location. [00:22] can someone please help me get direct rendering on this machine? [00:22] fetenfetenn: Thanks. [00:23] knoppix: the only thing better that xp is Ubuntu, and xp in a vm! hahahaha [00:23] Uncle Bills worst nightmare! [00:23] GRiMReAPeR: almost every single computer professional I've met can't stand the OS. A particular issue I've heard about is something called virtual folders, although I have no clue what the heck that is. [00:23] it sounded annoying though. [00:23] well i have a laptop duo 2GB with 1GB mem so its to havy for my pc [00:23] jimjam: go ahead and mount it, right click it on the desktop and select properties, then on the volume tab, enter disk under the mount point [00:23] anyone?

It's called "totem-plugin-vi" [00:25] does it do any good to enable gutsy-proposed?? is it "bad"? [00:25] and it is flooding my ps -A [00:25] any ideas?

[00:25] gnutron: lokkit [00:25] i wana tell every one on this channel . i love ubuntu but it does very strange stuff sometimes [00:25] LOL, ok [00:25] 7947 ? 00:00:01 totem-plugin-vi [00:25] 7951 ? 00:00:01 totem-plugin-vi [00:25] lots more [00:25] ARTHURARCHNIX ==> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45434/ [00:25] ARTHURARCHNIX ==> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45434/ [00:25] windego40 - have you tried ssh -l user ip format? [00:25] misterecs: always gotta run legit man, always [00:25] fetenfetenn, updates go there for wider testing before general release. Things do and have gone wrong.

[00:27] can someone please help me install Alsa 1.0.15rc1 from source ? [00:27] knoppix, make a service listen on them [00:27] amule wont connect to the net for me [00:27] the last set of updates killed automounting my windows partition... can someone pls help me to get that working again? [00:27] ArthurArchnix ==> Are we still good? Any Ideas? My post is at: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45434/ [00:27] so, any ideas? [00:27] knoppix: run a server of some kind, the ports need to be opened through a firewall. [00:27] I've even tried to remove it [00:28] apt-get remove totem-plugin-vi [00:28] EvilAIM: try killall totem-plugin-vi <-- hit the tab key, it should fill out the name for you [00:28] and it doesn't show up [00:28] fetenfetenn: After changing that part to remount,ro; I still get the same error. Here's my fstab again, after changes: http://pastebin.ca/793173 [00:28] ok this is strange [00:28] !iptables [00:28] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [00:28] neat... [00:28] it's totem-plugin-viewer [00:28] hi all, im having some trouble booting into ubuntu lately. booting the normal way doesn't work, booting in recovery mode and then starting gdm works about 50% of the time, but I get an error "couldn't initialize hal" when im actually up and running [00:28] i connected a pc with XP on it with emule and it wont connect either [00:29] does ubuntu have a graphical mounting tool? or you still need to edit fstab manually? [00:29] knoppix, all ports are open by default. it might be your modem/router closing them, in which case you should consult its manual. [00:29] ArthurArchnix ==> Are we still good? Any Ideas? My post is at: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45434/ [00:29] ArthurArchnix ==> Are we still good? Any Ideas? My post is at: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45434/ [00:29] ArthurArchnix ==> Are we still good? Any Ideas? My post is at: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45434/ [00:29] knoppix: alternatively, if it's not your router/modem, it could be your ISP blocking certain ports. [00:29] my modem dont have a router i have a npls connection [00:29] EvilAIM: ok, that's used by firefox to view inline video; killall totem-plugin-viewer [00:29] LjL, knoppix, no ports are open by default... but if you install an app that listens then it won't be blocked. [00:29] thanks [00:29] I did that [00:30] anyway to stop that? [00:30] ok got it [00:30] nomojob: So, now we got ubuntu booting from the first disc, and xp on the second disc, but that's not booting is it? [00:30] ports will open when i need them [00:30] gnutron: i checked ssh and dhcp but im a little new to using the terminal... how do i format the ip ? [00:30] knoppix, if you install apache... it'll open port 80 for example... and nothing will block it [00:30] ArthurArchnix: correct [00:30] PriceChild: well if there's no service listening, of course the connection will be refused, but that's what i meant :P [00:31] ArthurArchnix: see in the menu.lst where it says Windows Whistler? [00:31] EvilAIM: sure, use mozilla-mplayer :) I don't care much for the totem plugin, I install that one and remove totem-mozilla [00:31] got it [00:31] misterecs: I've seen your post, but am working on something else right now. You can wait a bit or put your question to the channel. If you ask your question again be sure to mention that you're using Feisty, that lspci can detect your card, but that ifconfig -a doesn't show it. [00:32] windego40 - you use the account name you use then type ssh -l username xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx [00:32] LjL: How can I stealth the ports with firestarter. [00:32] ArthurArchnix ==> Got it, thanks. [00:32] Ubuntu_Rocks: no idea, never used firestarter [00:32] nomojob: Yeah. Windows has issues with being second in line. Importance complex or something. We need to trick it into thinking its first. [00:32] k [00:32] ArthurArchnix: is that supposed to be there? [00:32] nomojob: It's just a title, it doesn't mean anything. [00:32] can any1 try to connect to a server on the donkey net it called razorback 3.0 its address is 85.17.52.92:5000 [00:32] ArthurArchnix: lol, sounds good [00:32] k [00:33] i want to check if the server is working at all [00:33] windego40 - netstat -tunap should show port 22 listening, sudo iptables -L needs to show ACCEPT ssh [00:33] ArthurArchnix: what next?

[00:38] meoblast001: What do you mean "type of window"? [00:39] red22: try applications > system tools > ntfs config tool. [00:39] so i can exclude gDesklets from Compiz stuff [00:39] RedBand: You can either write directly to a disk or write to a file image (.iso file). [00:39] RedBand, first option. Second is to make an iso file [00:40] red22, guess :) [00:40] the amd64 gutsy is an iso. I guess you mean choose file image?

[00:45] keith-: no, I mean not finding anything obvious in the logs ;-) [00:45] just finished testing them all under wineasio [00:45] distatica: odd, my own fstab line is very similar (diff UUID).. how would i check that the UUID i have corresponds to the correct partition? [00:45] ah [00:45] keith-: and you're right, lockups shouldn't happen *period* on linux (IMHO) [00:45] ArthurArchnix: Still says "Selected Disk does not exist" [00:46] Xenguy: eh a lot of stuff on linux in less than stable conditions... and memory leaks can happen... they just tend to get fixed fast [00:46] red22: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid [00:46] ArthurArchnix: actually, let me mess with the BIOS configurations for a minute...brb [00:47] I got some drivers from the add/remove software in ubuntu. should't i edit the Xorg file or something?

[00:49] meoblast001: Open it from within regedit [00:49] how do i get to regedit [00:49] i cant find it on Gusty [00:49] I ran the commands but it sais i already have the latest drivers [00:49] bradv: wow. never seen that one before, ty. [00:49] ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/regedit.exe [00:50] k [00:51] ArthurArchnix: Still didnt work [00:51] writing to the registry from 'nix in wine sounds 'extremely' dangerous...imho. [00:51] hey, is there any reason why when I set ubuntu to auto-login, the screen is zoomed in, but when I log in normally it isnt? [00:51] gnutron: i second that [00:52] herm [00:52] skyhook, what do you mean by zoomed in?? [00:52] as this is my girlfriend's laptop and i want it working i guess i will try another distro if i can't figure this out [00:52] add i hated ATI's fglrx driver. [00:52] Keith, that sort of thinking wont get anything working [00:52] ArthurArchnix: Im sure this is as frustrating to you as it is to me :) [00:52] gnutron: i had ntfs-3g installed.. that program is another package (ntfs-config) [00:52] Is it possible to make Nautilus to NOT turn my pictures so they are shown the correct way ? It's a real pain when I'm gonno upload a picture which seems fine in nautilus but when I have uploaded it the picture is turned the wrong way [00:52] Keith, nor will you learn anything [00:52] gnutron: Worst case scenario he has to blow away ~/.wine and start over. It can't affect Linux at all. [00:53] red22: ah, ok thanks. [00:53] paddy_EIRE: Its confusing to explain, but its as if the screen size is slightly bigger than the monitor, and when I go to the edges it scolls over a tiny bit to see the edges [00:54] paddy_EIRE: Its really hard to explain [00:54] bradv : agreed, can hurt nix w/oo root, bt i'd be surprised in windows ever booted again :) [00:54] skyhook, do you have an auto-adjust button on your monitor?

[00:55] I cant boot from any cd now [00:55] not vista or ubuntu [00:55] to search it, cptinternet? [00:55] Paddy_EIRE: and whats weirder is that when I log in normally everything is fine [00:55] !wont work | UbuntMe [00:55] But I could before [00:55] UbuntMe: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [00:55] Paddy_EIRE:or if I log out and log back in [00:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about wont work - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:55] skyhook: look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf , see if you have a virtual screen size setting in the Section "Screen" part [00:55] did you change the boot order, UbuntMe? [00:55] holas [00:55] Hi, can anyone help me setup my wireless card for my dell latitude D420, i have tried win and it wont work, please help anyone, im in dire need [00:56] Jangari: need the dev packages for compiling source (trying to get the WLAN drivers, found a source for 'em, forgot the command for dev package [00:56] skyhook, have you compared the resolutions? [00:56] I duno how [00:56] Well, i think i did [00:56] but i must have messed up because it doent work [00:56] !doesn't work | UbuntMe [00:56] UbuntMe: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [00:56] probably machine specific command, but before it boots, you need to hold something, proabably F8 or F2 [00:56] nomojob: I did. Hrmm.... it is frustrating. I think you need to take a look at the settings on the physical drives themselves. Are they sata drives? [00:56] it says right at the start [00:57] okay so here is the problem whoever it was getting on to me for changing distros [00:57] um [00:57] It wont boot [00:57] oh right [00:57] From the cd [00:57] i can find no data about this freezing [00:57] it just starts up ubuntu [00:57] UbuntuMe ... what exactly happens when you try to boot from cd [00:57] UbuntMe: go back into your BIOS setup and set it to boot from CD [00:57] !enter | UbuntMe [00:57] UbuntMe: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:57] I cannot connect with my wireless card: [00:57] i can't find someone with it also happening... i can't find anything in the logs [00:57] does anyone have a dell latitude d420 [00:57] and this is my girlfriend's lappy that she uses for school [00:57] sorry, It just goes straight to ubuntu [00:57] Paddy_EIRE:Okay that seems to have fixed it. Its unclear how that would get changed based on how I log in though [00:58] Just like i had no cd in [00:58] I can't get CenterICQ installed. What another way to get Root besides "sudo -s"? [00:58] oh well, fine, you want to stop it from booting so you can change the default order and tell it to, say, give you the option of windows or ubuntu [00:58] sudo bash [00:58] su root [00:58] Night: su [00:58] ArthurArchnix: how do I tell for sure if they are SATA? [00:58] su - [00:58] skyhook, could be the way your session is being saved? [00:58] ArthurArchnix: when I go to Properties on the drive it says ATA [00:59] Night: If you need to be root to install an ICQ program I suggest you search for another. [00:59] There is no windows on my computer, only ubuntu. I'm trying to install vista, but when i put in the disk and reboot, nothing hapens. Ubuntu just comes on [00:59] Hi, [00:59] I am having trouble connecting via wireless. Here is my card: [00:59] 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc.

[00:59] Anyone know a fix to no sound with Gutsy (toshiba Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)) Ive tried removed the linux-sound-base but now i cant reinstall (somewhat new to linux) [00:59] skyhook, when you have it running the way you like it to start on first login hold alt and press f2 then type gnome-save-session [00:59] UbuntMe, have you changed the boot order in the setup program? [00:59] Older drives have wide connections. Sata are smaller. http://zone.ni.com/cms/images/devzone/tut/SATA%20vs%20PATA.png [00:59] UbuntMe: restart, and look hard for the first thing that pops up on the screen, it should say something like "press F8 for boot order" [00:59] Paddy_EIRE, possibly, I didnt change any of those settings my self [00:59] and then you want to make sure that the CD rom boots first [00:59] Sorry about the scrolling [00:59] Hey. How would I mount a fat32 partition with read/write manually? [00:59] Paddy_EIRE, okay thanks a bunch [01:00] skyhook, no probs [01:00] Ya, it does, The cd is in the front \ [01:00] how can I "Make as well sure that no printer daemon is running on the parallel port." ? thanks [01:00] E: Couldn't find package centericq [01:00] What do I do now? [01:00] tigran: man mount. Look for filesystem type vfat. [01:00] will someone help me? [01:00] Paddy_EIRE, ok, i stand corrected :D [01:00] nomojob: See above, and ATA means the master/slave jumper settings have to be correct. If they're both set to master you may have these sorts of trouble. [01:00] livingdaylight, oh.. nice one [01:00] bradv: I have it mounted. I just can't write to it. [01:00] livingdaylight, glad it works for you [01:01] gnutron: distatica: bradv: GEEEZ, when i shut windows down last time it hung and so i had to cut power to shut down.. ntfs-3g won't mount it bc (apparently) it wasn't cleanly shutdown... i will go back into windows and then come back here to see if that was the problem... [01:01] Paddy_EIRE, its not AWN but it gives me a bit of glam... ;) [01:01] then perhaps there's something wrong with the disk? [01:01] nope [01:01] livingdaylight, I totally understand :D [01:01] I tryed it with ubuntu disk and 2 different vista disks [01:01] red22: Now you're thinking. Let Windows fix it. [01:01] none of them would boot from cd? [01:01] that also explains why i apparently was the only person who thought the last update broke automount... [01:01] no [01:01] red22- that worked for me before. [01:01] does Canonical have screenlets in their repositories? [01:01] none, natha [01:01] hey ubuntme r u smart? [01:01] bradv: /dev/sda4 /media/Music vfat user,auto 0 0 Thats how it is. But I cannot write to it. [01:02] and you're certain the boot order has cd first? [01:02] No, are you smart? [01:02] ArthurArchnix: heres a question. In the menu.lst, for each Ubuntu entry there is a path that leads to a file. Shouldnt there be one for XP also? [01:02] eh? [01:02] Hey, haha, lol, you have a funny screen name [01:02] tigran: That looks fine. Try unmount it and mount it again. Its possible it failed fsck in the bootup sequence and remounted read-only. [01:02] oh [01:02] hey i am trying to just mount a folder on a server through samba, I am using smbmount //192.168.1.204/vaskaloidis/ but I wanna just mountjust the folder //192.168.1.204/vaskaloidis/Movies/Included/ [01:02] sorry [01:02] yes [01:02] bradv: lol.. didn't think of it that way hehe.. that's what it's come down to then :) [01:02] It si not working though [01:02] ArthurArchnix: also, it looks like mine are PATA [01:02] woops, sorry [01:03] No :( [01:03] !enter | UbuntMe [01:03] UbuntMe: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:03] damn straight [01:03] Ya, sorry, i'll keep that in mind [01:03] bradv: sudo mount -a okay? [01:03] any suggestions? [01:03] nomojob: Do you need an example of the windows entry in a menu.lst [01:03] I have a .mov file that has sound but no video. Is there a codec I need for it? [01:03] tigran: umount /dev/sda4. Then run mount -a. Shouldn't need sudo as you have it set to user. [01:03] vas, did you manage to find what you needed for scripting those info out of your remote ? [01:04] UbuntMe: you're certain the boot order has cd first? [01:04] bradv: where do you get a list of all of those channel commands? [01:04] Maybe?

[01:04] if it aint the boot order, i'd be stumped [01:04] persoally [01:04] ok [01:05] * Pelo gives vas a little more hell [01:05] bradv: It says I need to be root to unmount it... [01:05] +n [01:05] lol [01:05] UbuntMe: Please let us know who you're addressing by using their name in your messages. There's a lot going on here. [01:05] nomojob: Because you're having such a hard time with grub, I think you may have two drives set as master. You need to google the make and model of your hard-drive and find out how to set the plastic jumper on the hd to make one the master, and one the slave. [01:05] By the way, i'm breaking up with ubuntu. [01:05] tigran: Then sudo umount /dev/sda4. [01:05] ok bradv [01:05] Pelo: but do you have a suggestion on hwo I can mount a certain folder in a share with smbmount [01:05] UbuntuMe, if you can read inside ubuntu the same cds that won't boot, it must be the boot order [01:05] and you're going for vista? [01:05] Well [01:05] I hate vista [01:05] right [01:05] and it hates you [01:05] I have a lot of respect for ubuntu [01:06] it hates all of us, [01:06] Vista is now adjar. [01:06] ArthurArchnix: i'll try that. thanks [01:06] vas, I don'T have a working knowledge or samba sorry but cant, you make a symlink ? [01:06] But, It wont work with sertan things [01:06] nomojob: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45440/ line 163 [01:06] such as? [01:06] bradv: Still can't write to it. [01:06] This wouldn't have caused a problem with only windows installed, since it would get to the first master, see a bootloader, find the files and boot up. At that point, from a fully loaded os it would find the second drive without problem. This is all "my best guess". [01:06] Well, it wont work with my zune [01:06] Jack_Sparrow: thank you [01:06] np [01:06] tigran: fsck it [01:07] !lnw > UbuntMe [01:07] Pelo: I have a pretty good set up right now, and I finally got this way working, and if I can just tweak it so I just mount a specific folder on my server It'd be better than starting over with a new method, I tried fstab and I ran into too much trouble.. it made the whole OS unstable [01:07] * Pelo can'T beleive UbuntMe said the Z word in this channel [01:07] HI Paddy_EIRE [01:07] Hey Jack_Sparrow [01:07] does your zune have proprietary software associated with it? [01:07] bradv: fsck /dev/sda ? [01:07] vas, there is a #samba [01:07] what? [01:07] bradv: sda4* [01:07] Whats the "Z" word? [01:07] good point, thnx Pelo [01:07] Zune? [01:07] tigran: yes [01:07] * Pelo can't belive he said it again [01:07] zip [01:07] lol [01:07] do you need specialised software to communicate with it? (yes, zune) [01:08] ohhhh, you said it [01:08] quick question anyone of you know how I can customize the Zsh for the command "ls" to display colors like Bash does? [01:08] Jangari: Yes, Windows. [01:08] what? [01:08] * Pelo shoooes UbuntMe to ##windows where they tolarate taht kind of language [01:08] hehe [01:08] well, does the z machiene work with ubuntu? [01:09] the z*ne [01:09] bradv: Still can't write :S [01:09] UbuntMe, if you can mount it as a usbflash drive therr isn'T any reason it shouldnT' [01:09] UbuntMe, well google is a good place to start.. as are the ubuntu forums :) [01:09] UbuntMe: What does it say on it besides that? Something that starts with an M... [01:09] I just installed my nvidia drivers (geforce3 ti200) using the Restrited drivers manager and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia, and everything looks a LOT nicer than before. Except, now when I open a terminal window its' all white, there's no text, nothing. I can tell it's working because I can right click and get the terminal context menu. Any thoughts? [01:09] UbuntMe: there is just no way you have your setup booting from the CD 1st... that is your problem and until you address that, no progress will you make [01:09] dunno, haven't got a zune [01:09] tigran: What error message does it give you? [01:09] bradv: When trying to write to it? [01:10] distatica, do you mean the gnome-terminal or do you go to console mode ? [01:10] xevil: are you 100% sure? [01:10] tigran: Yes. You're just saying it doesn't work, without giving details. [01:10] UbuntMe: yep [01:10] gnome terminal [01:10] bradv: Error while copying to "/media/Music". You do not have permissions to write to this folder. [01:10] xevil: It really has to be a bad drive or it is not set as first boot [01:11] bradv: The fsck did work. No errors. But I still cant write to it. [01:11] distatica, that sounds like a problem in an old version of beryl that was fixed... maybe try disabling desktop effects, restarting, etc [01:11] UbuntMe: gogle zune linux, there's heaps of resources and people saying that zune runs on linux, that linux supports zune, et cetera [01:11] ok [01:11] distatica, give xterm a look just to know if this is a problem that is with more then one terminal app or just that one , type xterm in alt+f2 [01:11] tigran: Okay, well that's different. sudo umount /dev/sda4. mount /dev/sda4 (as you, not root!)

[01:14] well [01:14] its about a dependency [01:14] "desktop effects" may be wrong, but it's the last tab along [01:15] jangari: that fixed alot [01:15] Deleriu1, you can add it from the repos it will take care or all the deps [01:15] but my compiz screwed everything up, restarting fixed it all, [01:15] jangari: how would I get those effects to work properly ?

[01:16] gone [01:16] sirdork, what is it about ? [01:16] however...does that mean the full visual goodies are unusable or is there a way to work around it? [01:16] @ pelo, what do you mean>? im pretty new to ubuntu and linux in general [01:16] getting alsa installed from patched source [01:16] tigran: Try adding the option umask=666 to the fstab. And make sure you are not mounting it as root. [01:16] well, if it's incompatible with the video card, there aint much you can do [01:16] Deleriu1, open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install wine [01:16] ah...hmm [01:17] just like windows vista :P [01:17] Deleriu1: What are you needing to run... in wine [01:17] i did that, it gives me a error about Depends: libaudio2 but is not installable Depends: binfmt-support >=1.1.2 not installable [01:17] sirdork, you put those command in a terminal line by line and that's all there is to it from what I can tell [01:17] tigran: example of my /etc/fstab mounting a full access fat32 drive. /dev/sdb1 /media/LOCAL\040DISK vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077 0 0 [01:17] I am unable to get an IP Address from my known good wireless AP: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45441/ [01:17] lspci: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc.

[01:18] Jangari: yup it's going fine, in fact it was near immediate [01:18] Pelo that would be nice if it worked like that but it keeps dieing on the config of the libs [01:18] lemme guess, the issue was that the cube and rotation reduced your workspaces to one, with no way to fix it? [01:18] Deleriu1, very odd, go in menu > sytem > admin> synaptic package manager , in the menu , select the last but one menu entry ( option I thnk ) select repositories, check everything on the first tab and on th third tab , checkthe backport one, close and reload the repository from the boot bar, then use the search button for wine and try agin [01:19] Ok, Sec [01:19] gnutron and bradv: No and No...nothings working.

[01:48] from a cd [01:48] ubunt: for some users, that's how you open your BIOS settings [01:48] Thanks Pelo [01:48] UbuntMe, So you used to be able to boot from CD but now can't? [01:49] At boot, just read for which keys you'd have to press to edit BIOS or boot order [01:49] yep [01:49] Not_Sure, did yiou check the drivers in admin > printers ? [01:49] i dunno, it doesn't say anthing about the servers being busy. [01:49] okay my uptime is showing an extremely high load average... what's the best way to see why i have such a high load average? top isn't showing anything suspicious [01:49] UbuntMe, Did you use the Wubi option on the CD or did you just set the CD as the first boot device in the BIOS? [01:49] why arent any of my hard drives listed in the /mnt directory? [01:49] Pelo: according to the menu, it does support it. [01:49] Not_Sure have you golgled for it?

[01:50] ss2ofsw, looks like the file is being used [01:50] bradv, where do you mount? [01:50] then kill it [01:50] joshua__, "mount" to see what partitions are mounted where [01:50] Can somebody help me install AWN? [01:50] ss2ofsw, try rebooting before proceeding with the upgrade [01:50] i dont know what wubi is. i just poped in the cd and pressed the button that made it install [01:50] i did reboot [01:50] joshua__: And man mount to find out how to mount them. [01:50] fetenfetenn: the forums seem to be conflicting. It appears that HPLIP is supplied with ubuntu feisty fawn distribution. However, I cannot get it to scan with Xsane. [01:50] Jordan_U, do you mount using terminal? [01:50] * riotkittie debates upgrading a release or three [01:51] linux99, , google for avant window navigator and follow the instructions [01:51] Ubuntme: Load your PC, edit your BIOS, ensure the first "Boot device" is set to CD drive, or other [01:51] Not_Sure, hplip is included in gutsy [01:51] Then ensure you are using the correct Vista install CD [01:51] ss2ofsw, you might have to do a clean install then [01:51] then wtf kind of shit is this? man. [01:51] UbuntMe: Please listen to everyone that's trying to help. If you don't understand the directions please say something, don't just keep asking the same thing. [01:51] sysroot74, this is the ubuntu channel ,please don'T give vista advice here e [01:51] fetenfetenn: so HPLIP is not included in ubuntu feisty-fawn? [01:51] Not_Sure have you checked this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3446371 [01:51] UbuntuMe: wubi is an unifficial installer that lets you run ubuntu 7.04, kubuntu, etc only 7.04 and it uses a virtual disk that is installed on your hardrive it is the easiest way to install linux [01:51] whats BIOS? and the first boot device IS cd [01:52] hey pelo what is the max i should let my lappy get to before it is too hot? [01:52] joshua__, So when you rebooted after "pressing the button that made it install" were you given a boot menu with Windows as an option and Ubuntu as an option as well? [01:52] FREEBSD OWNS! [01:52] fetenfetenn: yes, I have visited this post [01:52] keith-, I woudln't go above 60 myself but I realy don't know about laptops, [01:52] joshua__, Or were you given a list of unlabeled devices? [01:53] Failsafe Xorg is loading and I can't see where my original error is cause in the log all it says it is is loading up the xorg.failsafe like asap [01:53] Not_Sure and this one http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=hplip&searchon=names&subword=1&version=feisty&release=all [01:53] !fonts [01:53] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash?

No gratitude. [01:53] Jordan_U, I did a fresh intall but have a fat32 partition [01:53] This is driving me insane how do i turn off failsafe xorg [01:53] should I get BIOS? [01:53] I have used my xorg.conf file before it works just fine [01:53] keith-, It will shut itself off before it melts anything, but you might be for instance shortening the live of your hard drive and battery by letting it get too hot. [01:54] Ok, I got WINE working now. However i have one last problem. No sound Im using Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) [01:54] Jordan_U, I did lspci and I dont see the drive letter/number combo to use the mount command with [01:54] Please, I got a podcast to catch in like 30 min [01:54] Jordan_U_: well this battery is screwed anyway... but i'm more concerned with the locking up [01:54] it isn't shutting down it is locking up [01:54] joshua__, I meant just type "mount" with no arguments too see what is already mounted and where. [01:54] Ubuntme: The problem your explaining is likely not to be that of ubuntu nature, as said, ensure the boot orders are setup correctly, CD drive is functioning, etc [01:54] UbuntMe: BIOS stands for basic input and output system. It is what starts your computer. Reboot, and when you see the very first splash screen, press Delete. [01:55] joshua__, So when you rebooted after "pressing the button that made it install" were you given a boot menu with Windows as an option and Ubuntu as an option as well? [01:55] Sounds like a bios set up prob;em. [01:55] Jordan_U, Right I did that fisrt and I have two hard drives installed only one is being shown [01:55] UbuntMe, the bios is the prog in your comp that handles the basics hardware like your mobo , video card and hdd, you can get in in by pressing del when you boot, just at the beginning, if you are not familiar with it I don't recommend you play with it much, read your computer's manual first [01:55] UbuntMe: But I suggest you read the manual that came with your motherboard first. [01:55] where is the log that shows me my original zorg.conf problem and not the log that shows stupid xorg. failsafe loading? [01:55] joshua__, Nvm, meant that for UbuntMe [01:55] Jordan_U, No grub only has Ubuntu [01:55] UbuntMe, So when you rebooted after "pressing the button that made it install" were you given a boot menu with Windows as an option and Ubuntu as an option as well? [01:55] ok [01:56] no [01:56] I had ubuntu befor that [01:56] I just reinstalled [01:56] UbuntMe, You are the one trying to boot from CD, correct ? :) ( getting people mixed up ) [01:56] !alsa | Creed [01:56] yes [01:56] codenamekt, check in /etc/X11/ dislay the hidden files with crtl+h, look for xorg.conf backups [01:56] In other flavors of linux its as easy as mounting an unmounted drive why so much work in ubuntu [01:56] i mean should flashplugin-nonfree make my temp jump 20 degrees? [01:57] anyone use SimDock? [01:57] UbuntMe, try typing f8 when you boot , that usualy gives you a boot device selection menu [01:57] it doesn't make my other laptop jump at all running kubuntu [01:57] keith-, it is very demanding, it makes me jump by 5-10 degrees, on my desktop [01:57] trying to set command in SimDock to launch Firefox. I set it to firefox-bin but that doesn't launch it [01:57] I got to the thing where it says "tempararely choose boot" or whatever, so i choose cd and it just launches ubuntu [01:58] livingdaylight, jsut firefox [01:58] UbuntMe: That's too late already. Press Delete about 5 seconds before that. [01:58] pelo I have a million backups problem is no matter which one i run it loads into failsafe and honestly looking at the log it doesn't seem to be even trying to load my original [01:58] but the thing is... it doesn't stop raising the temp... i just eventually close the browser before it hits 70 degrees [01:58] Pelo, ok, thanks i try just firefox [01:58] ok [01:58] brb [01:59] codenamekt, did you try reconfigureing xorg.conf ? sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:59] UbuntMe, So you had just Ubuntu on the computer, and you re-installed Just Ubuntu on the computer again? ( I am asking to determine whether or not your BIOS can natively boot from CD at all or if it needed GRUB / ntldr to see the drive and boot from it ) [01:59] Pelo, We need to draw a line between dumbing down linux for people so they can migrate and usability [01:59] is ubuntu 7.10 gusty ? [01:59] gutsy [01:59] ty [01:59] codenamekt, you can do anything manualy in ubuntu that you can do in any other distro [01:59] cause i never had a problem with my xorg.conf files till now and i ran xgl aiglx and vesa drivers on two displays one being a 36" hdtv with dvi hdmi [01:59] linux99: It can be windy, yes. [02:00] codenamekt, Does it flash the screen a few times before starting safe mode? ( BTW, FailsafeX can be disabled in GDM, it is not a feature of X itself ) [02:00] Pelo, then why can't i see the log of what is going wrong in my original xorg.conf file? [02:00] codenamekt, you can also get advice in ##linux if no one here cna help , and there is also the forum www.ubuntuforums.org [02:00] Ok, anyone familiar with sound issues? im using Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02). Im getting no gstream or device found. [02:01] This is soo simple yet so fudged by this new unbreakable xorg. [02:01] codenamekt, it there is it migth be in /var/log, I'm just a basic , fairly noobish home user, I can'T answer everything [02:01] codenamekt, If you run "startX" or "xinit" rather than restarting GDM it can't do anything but try to load your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:01] Thanks Yall. My ubuntu desktop is back. I really appreciate your help. Hopefully soon, I'll be well versed enough to give back. Peace [02:01] Pelo, SimDock really chews up into the screen's real-estate, huh? [02:01] Jordan_U, Thanks [02:01] codenamekt, No capital "X" in startx, sorry [02:02] livingdaylight, don't knwo I don't use it , or any dock apps [02:02] i know thanks [02:02] hi!

[02:47] I'm having troubles where Ubuntu boots in low-graphics mode. [02:47] Hobbsee, how so :/ [02:47] bazhang: yes [02:47] Paddy_EIRE: because it's not aptitude, it's apt. [02:47] linux99: you have ccsm installed? [02:47] bazhang: no [02:47] Hobbsee, yeah aptitude is better practise [02:47] Paddy_EIRE: you can remove the metapackage - but it wont remove any of the other stuff below it. [02:47] Hobbsee: and? [02:48] have trevino come out with his repos yet? [02:48] Paddy_EIRE: until it screws up. [02:48] thanks [02:48] julio3patas: trevhino repos will break your system. don't use them. [02:48] Hobbsee, yeah.. and apt does not [02:48] !wfm > Hobbsee [02:48] Hobbsee: no they don't.. [02:48] Paddy_EIRE: well, it doesnt fail so spectacularly, anyway [02:48] julio3patas: ... and no to answer the question [02:48] Hello. Anyone seen this before? `ssh` => "You don't exist, go away!" [02:48] Anyone have any ideas for the low-graphics mode loop?

[02:49] Hobbsee: trevino, automatix and anything else will break your system so does everyone here says, reality is, it doesn't matter anything can break your system pretty sad isn't it [02:49] Hobbsee, never have I had problems with aptitude like I have had with apt... aptitude is just simply better [02:49] bazhang: compiz and compizconfig-settings-manager will pull that all in :) [02:49] crdlb: thanks! [02:50] * Hobbsee wonders how you submit a repo to trevhino. [02:50] i've never had problems with apt. aptitude just seems to be better at keeping system clean [02:50] Hobbsee: i used to use trevino's repo back with edgy and everything worked fine [02:50] * Hobbsee hopes you didn't upgrade.

[02:51] linux99: sudo apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager [02:51] jake_: What error? [02:51] bazhang: ok [02:52] linux99: that is from the terminal, just type that in, followed by your password [02:52] <[Ely]> Pelo in the event I had to actually use this Essential package to be able to install Blogtk because it was not part of Ubuntu by default, how would I have gone about installing the program? sorry to bug you just want to learn. [02:52] thing of the matter is , it is a sad that something as simple as trying to install i.e. codecs to make your system "fully functional" its dependent on something that will break it [02:52] !compile | [Ely] [02:52] [Ely]: Compiling software from source?

[02:53] julio3patas: What do you need to install that would break your system? [02:53] Any ideas why it is stuck in low gfx mode? [02:53] and I'm stuck in 800x600 max resolution. [02:53] What's your specs? [02:53] <[Ely]> so bazhang I just get into the program folder once I have extracted it and type in !compile in the terminal ? [02:53] it happened when I changed default monitors [02:53] hello, My ubuntu system is a part of active directory domain. Because i have administrator account in the domain, previously in my network drive(in place menu in gnome panel), i could see all computers on the domain and capable to see their hard disk. But why now it always displays : the folder contents could not be displayed, sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "windows network: fb-barmgr".

It's just that it's not up to the same standards as Ubuntus. If you feel that the standards ubuntu sets are still low enough to break your system, you should be twice as careful of any source that can't even meet that standard.

[02:56] julio3patas: often some people end up screwing up when installing something from a non-supported repo and then blame it on the package. sometimes it is the package, and sometimes the installation method is really bad (Automatix) [02:56] Running in low-graphics mode on every boot, 800 x 600.

[02:59] then it says logoff to change it [02:59] If I'm using an ATI radeon card, shouldn't the screens and graphics screen show radeon as the driver? [02:59] then it loops back to error [02:59] every time. [02:59] jake_: hm... [02:59] Right now it shows ati as the driver... (mach8, Mach32....) [02:59] and the whole !tab thing is confusing me. I'm not sure what you mean. [03:00] hi, anybody know how to install transcode with more modules? [03:00] doesn't seem to have a couple that i need [03:00] jake_: Start by typing the persons name who you want to talk to, when you have enough of the name typed hit tab, it will either complete the line for you, or show you a list of how many people have a name like the one you've typed so far. In which case you need to type more letters then try hitting tab again. [03:00] jake_: type the first few letters of the persons nick, and then press the tab button [03:00] jake_: type the first couple of letters than the tab key and the name will complete [03:00] Cpudan80, It works for most cards from ATI [03:00] yo [03:00] hehe [03:00] coreymon77: ah [03:00] Shadix: What does? [03:00] the driver [03:00] jake_, sorry man its pretty clear.. begin to type the first few characters of the persons name then press tab for auto completion... I dont know how to be any clearer [03:01] :P [03:01] Paddy_EIRE: I didn't notice anyone tell me that :P [03:01] :D [03:01] you guys should make a #ubuntu-video-help channel, you'd reduce traffic in here by 80% [03:01] jake_: Also, try to put all of your thoughts and comments on one line. It's preferable to do one long post than a bunch of smaller ones, which can quickly become annoying. This is called flooding. [03:01] jake_, ubotu told you about 9 times ;) [03:01] Paddy_EIRE: My bad, I'll repeat my entire problem in one post. [03:01] cool [03:01] * Nwallins|home waits...

[03:02] sipsipclick, hardly.. we dont need traffic reduced in here anyhow.. [03:02] Cpudan80, I think I miss read your question lol [03:02] Shadix: I tried switching to the radeon one -- but when I hit test, it gave me a gray boxy type screen... is that normal? [03:02] no [03:02] the cursor was an X [03:02] sipsipclick, explain your problem as clearly and with as much information as possible [03:02] Shadix: Didn't think so lol [03:03] I'm having problems with Ubuntu! i've got a logitech dinovo edge keyboard and a mx1000 laser that came with dinovo laser set a couple years ago, both are running on bluetooth, but mx1000 wont work in ubuntu when edge is connected! this is a problem i had in 7.04 too, but couldnt find any other solutions then install Xubuntu! but i wanna use Ubuntu now! ANYONE, HELP?!??! [03:03] On two system, my home one and my friends I have the same problem of Ubuntu booting in low-graphics mode (800x600) Both systems are on nvidia cards and running dual monitors. when I change driver and or resolution it asks me to log off all users for changes to take effect, upon logging back on it loops back to the same error, "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" Both computers have the exact same problem.

[03:04] MinusSeven, both...if you have the stable version [03:05] !offtopic | sipsipclick [03:05] sipsipclick: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:05] ok [03:05] MinusSeven: Gnome is a gillion times better [03:05] LOL I better go to bed I'm getting buggy "Paddy_EIRE> sipsipclick, explain your problem as clearly and with as much information as possible" [03:05] gnome seems to be less gimicky [03:05] thought he ment you [03:05] Gnome is a lot simpler. [03:05] Shadix, later dude [03:05] GN [03:05] Cpudan80, he asking which one is more stable than the other :D [03:05] and a much cleaner look. [03:06] Ok let me rephrase s-tech and MinusSeven , Gnome is more stable [03:06] Guys, if I am installing Ubuntu 7.10 to a empty harddisk, do I need the "boot loader"? I was under the impression that loader is only for dual boot [03:06] AdemoS: Just accept all the defaults [03:06] AdemoS, Yes, you need it. [03:06] AdemoS: Nope. Still need the loader. [03:06] AdemoS, how would your hd know what to boot ;) [03:06] AdemoS: Ubuntu will do the right thing [03:06] * AdemoS nods [03:06] wtf? [03:06] And yes, you need a boot loader [03:06] LOL [03:06] Well the issue is, I installed it twice, and I keep getting "error loading os" at the end [03:07] Paddy_EIRE: If I don't get a response should I repost my message? or keep waiting.

[03:08] MinusSeven, both kubuntu and ubuntu can fit on a single cd-r [03:08] So the has anyone ever seen the "Error Loading OS" message before? I got it after trying two installs> [03:08] MinusSeven, no reason to [03:08] Right now I am trying the install again with a 8x burned cd [03:08] I think my gfx card can't handle more workspaces lol [03:08] whats the difference between them?

[03:10] MinusSeven, Yes. [03:10] ok [03:10] sipsipclick: offcourse i can, dinovo edge got a mouse. [03:11] The bootloader defaults to hd0, should I change to hda to match the formating?

[03:11] i may as well get the DVD version, I have a 1.5 megabit connection [03:11] I only ask because I'm having a boot issue after install [03:11] alright [03:11] language d1n0 [03:11] :p [03:11] Is there any way to keep some of the files on my hard drive if I'm installing Ubuntu over Windows XP? (Without having to back them up on some other device) [03:11] DVD version doesn't include more apps - just the three different CDs [03:11] AFAIK anyway [03:12] !ohmy | d1n0 [03:12] d1n0: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:12] Yeah i got it :p [03:12] ok [03:12] so I should get the CD [03:13] thats cool [03:13] Scariot: such as your home partition? [03:13] i'll do that [03:13] AdemoS: How many discs do you have? [03:13] MinusSeven, Yeah. Get the CD. THat's all you need. YEs, CD, yes. [03:13] Scariot, if not dual booting back up what you want to keep [03:13] ArthurArchnix: Just one, the default i386 iso [03:13] ArthurArchnix: 7.10 version [03:13] I have a lot of Music on that I don't want to lose by installing Ubuntu and wiping out XP [03:14] ok, thanks [03:14] Scariot, back it up [03:14] phew. [03:14] Scariot: then set up a dual boot with xp [03:15] I don't want to keep some of my hard drive partitioned to xp though [03:15] Scariot, bit of advice.. always backup [03:15] Scariot: then back up either-or [03:15] Scariot, backup everything anyway. [03:15] I can download it through my ISP, doesn't go toward my download limit [03:15] I don't have another hard drive to do so with [03:15] AdemoS: You have just one hard-drive? [03:16] Scariot, then get some recordable dvds or an external hdd [03:16] or usb key Scariot [03:16] i have fedora installed now, I'll just overwrite it with ubuntu, I hope [03:16] Scariot, if you don't mind waiting ubuntu will send you free cds in the mail [03:16] I have an ubuntu installation cd [03:17] Scariot: i saw a 500gb HDD for $119 [03:17] hey [03:17] i need a list of repositories [03:17] anyone? [03:18] ArthurArchnix: Sorry for the delay in response; I have two HDD; a 80 GB master and 300 GB slave [03:18] fizzle, you should have it in your /etc/apt/source.list [03:18] ArthurArchnix: I am installing to the 80 GB master [03:18] s-tech: all of the 3rd party repositories? [03:19] ok [03:19] fizzle: have you seen source o matic? [03:19] there in my apt list, but how do i update my database [03:19] fizzle, sudo apt-get update [03:19] k thank you [03:20] no prob :) [03:20] errr [03:20] fluxbox is not in the repository? [03:20] ArthurArchnix: X_X It just told me I had a I/O error on my newly burned 8x disc. I guess just re-burn? [03:20] ive installed xubuntu but i wanna run fluxbox [03:20] AdemoS; yes reburn [03:20] alright thanks [03:20] AdemoS; could be corrupt image or messed up disc [03:20] On two system, my home one and my friends I have the same problem of Ubuntu booting in low-graphics mode (800x600) Both systems are on nvidia cards and running dual monitors. when I change driver and or resolution it asks me to log off all users for changes to take effect, upon logging back on it loops back to the same error, "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" Both computers have the exact same problem, has anyone else had this prob [03:20] AdemoS: also make sure your recording at the proper speed [03:21] lem? [03:21] well I burned it before at 24x with no issue [03:21] fizzle, never used fluxbox before [03:21] so I think the image is okay [03:21] AdemoS: use 16x [03:21] fizzle, gnome satisfied me enough :) [03:21] 16x is better then 8x? I thought slower was bhetter? [03:21] AdemoS: linux is weird bout burning cds [03:21] AdemoS: Yes. What are your plans for the two hard disks? What OS's and how will you use them etc.? [03:21] AdemoS: , ahh yes [03:21] AdemoS: slower is better [03:21] AdemoS: i thought u burned at 24x [03:21] AdemoS: my bad [03:21] hmm i need to install drivers for my nvidia card [03:21] fizzle: I did the first time, with no issue. The second time I burned at 8x and there must have been a burn issue [03:22] AdemoS: ic. try 16x thats what i burn at [03:22] does anyone have any good docs on gutsy + postfix + dovecot? [03:23] ArthurArchnix: I zeroed out my master drive that had WinXP on it, was planning to go Ubuntu full force but keep getting that "OS loading error" issue [03:23] fizzle: Are you sure? Pelo told me 8x would be better [03:23] anyone here using gkrellm? [03:23] AdemoS: well sometimes slow burning is bad though [03:23] AdemoS: try 16x see what happens [03:24] Anyone know how to fix the "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode." error? [03:24] fizzle: Really? o_o Okay, will try 16x [03:24] i suggest using k3b instead of command line, and use the auto setting [03:24] if I reinstall Windows, and it wipes out Grub, is it easy to get grub back? [03:24] when burning under k3b with the auto speed it works great [03:24] !resolution | jake_ [03:24] jake_: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

To be safe them, unplug second HD. Then tell ubuntu to use entire disk. If you still encounter problems, perhaps your partition table is pooched. I'm not sure if the ubuntu installer completely deletes it. Using a live cd you should be able to write a new one. [03:25] neways [03:25] bout to install nvidia drivers [03:26] ArthurArchnix: Hmm alright, I did say entire disc last time; also I used the live cd each time to create the partion [03:26] ademos, is your livecd not seeing the hard drive? [03:26] slimjimflim: My live cd is able to see both drives [03:26] got 100 MB's downloaded so far [03:26] ok guys im trying to install nvidia drivers.. how do i close out X [03:26] ademos, from the installer? [03:26] Looking for someone who's managed to monitor an ubuntu machine from a windows machine using gkrellm.... any takers? [03:27] slimjimflim: Yes, the partion manager in the installer was able to see both drives [03:27] ok, nm, thought you had a problem like one i just fixed [03:27] slimjimflim: thanks anyway [03:27] can i use firestarter in KDE instead of guarddog? [03:28] DM|: yes [03:28] yay [03:28] DM|, just don't use both [03:28] AdemoS: Then you should use the live cd to delete the partition table. [03:29] AdemoS: You ran a check on the disk for errors right? [03:29] because guarddog shuts down my internet connect, thats smarts [03:29] ArthurArchnix: Does 'use all space' do that? [03:29] Hi! I can't get rid of a little window right on the middle of my screen: "Click on a window to force termination of the application. To cancel press . I launched the killer app. from the panel, but can't seem to find it by name in order to kill the killer. Any ideas? Thanks. [03:29] ArthurArchnix: Yes, for the 24x burn I did, the 8x I didn't and it failed. Trying the 16x burn next [03:30] guys there's something like a pdf password retriever/breaker for linux? [03:30] AdemoS: Not sure. The fdisk manpage says not to use it to write a partition table, so you'll need to use gparted. [03:30] AdemoS: The gparted live cd is a lifesaver, everyone should have one. It's a small download, get it and burn it. [03:31] evening, boys and girls... [03:31] ArthurArchnix: Well, last time I zeroed out leaving no trace of the last partion I got the same error === robdig is now known as robdig_ [03:31] AdemoS: Really? Well now, that is strange. [03:31] anyone know how to change the Broadcast addr in Gutsy? I don't see it in the network dialogue.... [03:31] AdemoS: What program did you use to zero out? The bios wipe? [03:31] ArthurArchnix: That's teh only reason I hestiate using gparted since it doesnt seem to be my issue [03:32] ArthurArchnix: I used KillDisk [03:32] Looking for someone who's managed to monitor an ubuntu machine from a windows machine using gkrellm.... any takers? [03:32] Ademos: There is an option to check cd for errors [03:32] Yeah, I'll use that next time === robdig_ is now known as robdig [03:33] AdemoS: I've used dban, and that looks similar, but truthfully having never used it I can't find that it deletes the partition table. It may have just corrupted the partition table. [03:33] So I think the plan is this, burn at 16x --- check for errors --- install and try to boot, if fails --- will try unplugging the storage drive [03:33] ArthurArchnix: Well KillDisk did it's job, Ubuntu couldn' [03:33] t find the old partion tables asfter [03:34] ArthurArchnix: KillDisk uses FreeDos though, so people around here might not like it :P [03:34] !Tor [03:34] #ubuntu and related channels prohibit access from proxy servers due to a high level of abuse.

Google works well [03:35] type that in [03:35] RazzoRz: i just need to compile the drivers. it says i need libc and libc-headers [03:35] how do i install this in ubuntu [03:36] ArthurArchnix: http://www.killdisk.com/ for more info [03:36] fizzle: sudo apt-get install build-essential [03:36] Okay people, trying the 16x burn now, be back soon [03:36] fizzle.. i think you can just install them with the restricted drivers management tool [03:36] Does anyone know the name of the Gnome panel applets? I need to kill one... [03:36] AdemoS: Like I said, gparted will be useful far into the future, it's worth a download and burn. You can try doing what you just did again, but it seems like just repeated what you did and hoping it works this time is not the best use of time. === AdemoS is now known as AdemoS|Away [03:36] im running nvidia legacy [03:36] fizzle:the legacy stuff should come with the X setup I think [03:36] can someone here help me adjust my gnome panels?

[03:37] my card is old i use specific drivers heh [03:37] ArthurArchnix: hmmm, well can you give me a link for gparted? [03:37] AdemoS if you really want to do that all you have to do is rip out the disks from the HDD and put them in the microwave :D [03:37] Dekkard: I want a start-menu button like windows, and I want the clock to be at the bottom [03:37] Dekkard: Ie, I basically want my taskbar to look like windows [03:37] I am running ubuntu 6.10 , i have innotek Virtualbox.. is anyone here furmiluar with this ? [03:37] oxeimon omg wtf, why [03:37] because I dont want two task bars? [03:38] it's a waste of space? [03:38] also, anyone know what i need to do for fluxbox? [03:38] so add a clock to the lower panel [03:38] I installed Kubuntu a few months ago, but found it a bit daunting compared to Fedora [03:38] oxeimon: You can turn off the other task bar I believe... [03:38] but, I find fedora seems to go around in circles, always major issues [03:38] MinusSeven, sudo apt-get install fluxbox [03:38] Thats why I want to give Ubuntu a go [03:38] the problem is, when I add a menu to the lower panel, whenever I open up a window, it shows up *beneath* the menu, so I can't click on it [03:38] whats fluxbox? [03:38] Dekkard: i did that [03:38] you can delete the upper panel [03:38] AdemoS|Away: http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [03:38] Dekkard: but it wasnt in my repository [03:39] oxeimon oh , i thought u meant you want that blue piece of crap [03:39] ArthurArchnix: Thanks, I'll give it a try [03:39] innotek Virtualbox.. is anyone here furmiluar with this ? [03:39] what wasnt in your repository? [03:39] no I just want a single taskbar that works like windows [03:39] ArthurArchnix: So just boot that and it'll be self-explanatory? [03:39] right click on the panel and add contents to the panel [03:39] ahh [03:39] i got fluxbox heh [03:39] eight [03:39] ill brb [03:39] heh === AdemoS|Away is now known as AdemoS [03:40] !Tor [03:40] #ubuntu and related channels prohibit access from proxy servers due to a high level of abuse.

[03:42] Is there any post install configuration required? [03:43] innotek Virtualbox.. is anyone here furmiluar with this ???? [03:43] AdemoS: Pretty much. You want to delete every partition you see, and then use the menus to create a new partition table, which will warn you, danger-danger will robinson, then you go ahead and do it. [03:43] i'm going to burn the iso onto a rewritable CD, that shouldn't be an issue should it? [03:43] i read an article today that says that tor is being monitored by the MAN [03:43] RazzoRz: I use virtualbox frequently [03:43] ArthurArchnix: Can I just delete all partion tables and let Ubuntu make the new one> [03:43] ?

[03:47] ArthurArchnix: What speed should gparted be burned at? [03:48] hey how can I reliably measure my upload and download speed, I am configuring Deluge [03:48] try speakeasy speed test [03:49] is 460kilobits per second the same sa 460k [03:50] and is that a good upload speed, I have the expensive package for charter [03:50] sounds like 4.6 meg down [03:50] oops no it doesnt [03:50] WuGutsyClan_: Use http://speedtest.net [03:51] AdemoS: Sorry, in gparted you want to create a new disk label. [03:51] ok guys, ive installed build-essential, and ive compiled my nvidia drivers [03:51] now how do i get them working [03:51] 4778kbps down [03:51] i configured them in my Xorg.conf but it doesnt want to work [03:51] You can leave it with no partitions, that's fine. But make a new dos disk label. [03:51] any extra steps? [03:51] what should I be getting [03:51] does anyone know how to include that wireless connectivity icon in a panel? [03:51] WuGutsyClan_, your milage may vary.. [03:51] I just deleted the top panel, and I've lost the wireless icon [03:52] Dekkard: I pay for the good internet [03:52] ArthurArchnix: Wait, new disc label? What does that mean. ---- if I leave it with no pations, then where does this new dos disck label come in [03:52] After upgrading from Feisty to Gutsy, I've now got a DVD icon that is 'stuck' on my desktop.

[03:53] 10 meg down is how many kbps [03:53] when I get my 8 megabit connection it'll be a lot quicker [03:53] AdemoS: Boot, and delete all the partitions you see. When done, go into like file or somethign and look for create a new disk label. Do that. Then eject and reboot. Toss in your ubuntu disc and bob should be your uncle. [03:53] ArthurArchnix: haha except for the "bob should be your uncle" part, sounds like a plan, thanks. [03:53] AdemoS: If it were me, I'd actually create four partitions after creating a new label [03:54] I have an Uncle Bob [03:54] my Dad's name is Bob too [03:54] wu.. i got an idea.. why not just run deluge and let it automagically decide what speeds your running at? [03:54] AdemoS: How large is the disk? [03:54] launchpad is offline :( [03:54] ArthurArchnix: 80 GB [03:54] bittornado does that.. as do most modern bt clients [03:54] anyone here use nvidia?

[03:59] there's varicad too [03:59] ArthurArchnix: alright, for now I'll do that just to simplify things, and because I don't plan to use this old computer in the future.

[04:01] DHINESH: How did you install sftp? Using the repositories? [04:01] hello guyz [04:01] crdlb: Btw, why does ubuntu install the -386 image by default then? [04:01] Which version do I need for a quad core? [04:01] newguy, It's in preferences IIRC [04:01] JeffFromOhio: it doesn't unless you upgraded from dapper or earlier [04:01] Sp3c1alK i think amd64 will do, maybe you can finetune later compiling a kernel for your platform [04:02] ok cool, thanks [04:02] beryl is compatible to ubuntu [04:02] bradv: sftp drive manager v1.6.3 [04:02] can anyone help me configure my gutsy to work with my new router??

[04:02] how can i install a dll to wine [04:02] this is fucking retarded [04:02] how to install compiz [04:02] crdlb: it installed it.

Gotta find a better irc client. I just installed ircii, and I think I'm gonna go try to find chatzilla - I find it to be easier to use. [04:04] Hi, I have installed Tor and Privoxy, but when I try to use it, I can still see my IP Address. Anyone here have experience with these tools? Is there any post install configuration required? [04:04] bradv: you have a working windows partition that automounts? if so, could you paste in your ntfs line (or pastebin, whichever)? i installed ntfs-config by someone's recommendation but it modifies fstab to something that looks different than the default. just want to set it back. [04:05] multiverse, run "torify " [04:05] In gutsy, I am getting audio but no video and a desktop lock up for avi / div-x files. Any IDeas? [04:05] Jordan_U_ ah ok i have the cd and been trying to use ndisgtk, but when i choose "install windows driver" i click on the .inf file and nothing happens :S [04:05] red22: Unfortunately I don't use Windows at all anymore. Ubuntu has gotten to the point where I don't need it. So no, sorry. [04:05] Jordan: torify firefox? [04:05] multiverse, Or set whatever program you want to use tor to use a proxy set to localhost [04:05] multiverse, Yes [04:05] bradv: bc i'm assuming someone that knows a lot more than i do set the ubuntu ntfs mount in fstab in a safe and smart way. [04:05] can anyone help me with this error i get when i try to install any packages http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45446/ [04:05] Jordan_U_ sorry do you know any resources or how to pages that might help me, im a bit stuck :S [04:06] bradv: I got the below message. Connection refused. [04:06] We were able to contact the server, but it is refused your connection. Check to see if the server's [04:06] SSH component is running or if a firewall is blocking the access.

[04:06] ya i checked that out, but the troubleshooting guide has me stuck :S [04:06] red22: I would be wary of using ntfs-3g for read/write access with valuable data. The way I used to have it was with a separate fat32 (vfat) partition that was accessible from both Ubuntu and Windows. [04:06] Narissa what app are you using? are you using GL desktop? [04:07] Scunizi: no, 7.04 [04:07] Fet: I have tried this with vlc and mplayer which rn it nice once. and no GL Desktop, thugh I am capable of using it if necessary [04:07] Uni_Cron, your paste shows your repos are set for 6.10 [04:07] newguy, Using windows drivers is somewhat hit or miss though, you might want to google or search the wiki for your specifig USB adaptor [04:07] I just swapped in a new router, and now gutsy won't connect anymore... [04:08] wilberfan, Is it using DHCP? [04:08] Jordan_U_: no... [04:08] Scunizi: how can i fix that? i get the same error when trying to install using package manager, and update manager [04:08] DHINESH: Once again, see the configuration documentation for ssh and sftp. I have not used that since Red Hat 7.1 days... ;) [04:08] can anyone help me with dual display ati on gutsy? [04:08] i have 2 boxes hooked into the wired router... [04:08] bradv: yeah i have a fat partition too, but i have some config files on the ntfs drive that i share between both os's. any heaving writing i do to the fat32. thanks for recommendation though. [04:08] Narissa i had trouble using GL output while Compiz is on, then tried with xv output and went fine [04:09] wilberfan, Any reason why not? [04:09] Jordan_U_: i want static ip's... [04:09] I need help fixing ubuntu booting in low-graphics mode, it just loops back to it anytime I try to fix it. [04:09] have you tried different output drivers? [04:09] fet: Wouldn't even know where to begin [04:09] a good uml model design tool? [04:09] wilberfan, Is the same configuration working with other computers ( same subnet, etc ) ? === c9s___ is now known as _c9s [04:10] red22: If you mount your ntfs partition readonly you'll be a lot safer. You can find howto's for fstab quite easily. Search for "ubuntu fstab ntfs" in Google. [04:10] bradv: but don't you think ntfs-3g might be pretty safe now? it's come a long way and ubuntu sets it up by default so it should be mostly stable/safe? [04:10] * genii tries not to sip a coffee [04:10] in vlc go to options->prefs->video->output modules [04:10] Jordan_U_: i've got sidux running on the same box--and i got IT to connect, but same settings don't help with gutsy... [04:10] check "Advanced options" [04:10] fet: am there and at advanced options [04:10] Jordan_U_: XP connects on this box, too.... [04:10] there you have a menu to select the output module [04:10] Fet: is my XVideo adaptor supposed to be -1? [04:10] try X11 [04:11] red22: Check the documentation for ntfs-3g. I'm sure you will still find plenty of warnings. But, like I said, I haven't used Windows in a long time, so you could be right. [04:11] fet: here goes nothing [04:11] anyone know how i can install ubuntu FROM a usb drive? i can't boot properly with a cd and then all the guides I can find to make a ubuntu usb boot drive require you to boot to ubuntu from cd :/ [04:11] Does gnome-vfs-obexftp install require a restart? [04:12] does it happen with every video format you try to play or only some? [04:12] bradv: hey, you gotta look out for your data. nothing wrong with that. i'll definitely look up the project status and see how solid they claim it to be now... you got me worried now :P [04:12] Anyone have any ideas how I can get rid of an 'extra' icon for a DVD that is stuck on my desktop? [04:13] fet: you are absolutly awesome [04:13] ArthurArchnix: What speed should I burn Gparted-LiveCD at? 16x? [04:13] JeffFromOhio: Can you right-click on it and select unmount? [04:13] did it work? [04:13] AdemoS: Full speed scottie! [04:13] I call it extra because it still shows up after I have ejected the disk from the drive. When the disk is in the drive, there is a second instance of the same icon [04:13] fet: yup trainspotting plays as we speak [04:13] ArthurArchnix: xD Are you sure? Three people just told me Ubuntu should be burned as slow as possible, does that not apply to gparted? [04:13] bradv: I've tried - that's the problem - the first icon goes away when I right-click it and select "eject" [04:13] JeffFromOhio: Does it go away after a reboot? [04:14] bradv: Nope [04:14] bradv: Oh, wait a minute, I guess it did the last time I rebooted [04:14] Anyone able to help me with my low-graphics mode problem? [04:14] AdemoS: If you had one cd to burn, and no others, and wanted to take the smallest chance possible of things going wrong, then yes, slow and steady wins the race. [04:14] good! that movie is double pay :) [04:14] bradv: I just realized I had the disk in the drive with only one icon this time. [04:14] AdemoS: That goes for all cds. [04:14] fet: and a keg to boot 8) [04:15] bradv: earlier, I really did have two and was driving me nuts :) [04:15] ArthurArchnix: Alright, so I think 16x then, just to save myself some trouble later on [04:15] fet: I will be back on soon I am sure but always remember "choose life" LOL 8) [04:15] AdemoS: Me? I always go full speed. Sometimes I have to throw away discs. [04:15] were do i find the gdmsetup tool? [04:15] JeffFromOhio: Try unmount it next time before you eject. [04:15] ArthurArchnix: haha, I se [04:15] lol, ok [04:15] Julio: I just reviewed the privoxy conf file and I am at a complete loss as what to do. [04:15] bradv: the thing with fstab is that there are apparently differnt ways to do functionally equivalent things. i'll set up ntfs ro to be safe, and i'll hopefully find a default fstab from someone here to begin from the recommended ubuntu default way to do it. [04:15] Hello, anyone know how to fix Ubuntu booting in low-graphics mode? (800x600) it sucks! [04:16] bradv: I was 'ejecting' it by right-clicking the icon and selecting "eject". Isn't Ubuntu supposed to do a umount when you do that? [04:16] nathan: try vga=792 in the kernel at startup [04:16] bradv: i'm pretty sure my ntfs mount is pretty different than the default install had it. [04:16] ok thanks [04:16] nathan: have you tried opening System > Preferences > Resolution? [04:17] Jordan_U_ ok i found the site for my wireless adapter https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TP-Link_TL-WN620G_(ndiswrapper) but however i have troubles [04:17] JeffFromOhio: Yeah I have, no matter what settings I change, or graphics drivers when I reboot for the settings to take effect it defaults back to the error message. [04:17] red22: fstab takes a little bit of time to learn, but it's totally worth it to study it. "man fstab" and "man mount" will tell you most things you need to learn. Then you can sit here and answer a third of the questions that come through here. ;) [04:17] multiverse: I'll go try vga=792 I'll be right back if that doesn't work. [04:17] good luck [04:17] Jordan_U_ ok i got sudo ndiswrapper -i athfmwdl.inf after that command i got installing athfmwdl ... [04:17] couldn't open athfmwdl.inf: No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper-1.9 line 181. [04:17] JeffFromOhio: That should work fine, yes. I have no idea what the problem is. Sounds like an aesthetic issue though that's not worth worrying about. [04:18] Is there some kind of battery charge threshold built into ubuntu? [04:18] Like ehh, will the battery only charge when < x% remains? [04:18] bradv: hehe yeah i know, i've read them often but i forget soon bc i set things right and forget about it til a year later when things break again :( [04:18] bradv: well, it does seem to have gone away with my last reboot. Just hadn't realized it right away. Anyhow, thanks [04:19] anyone here have a working windows partition that automounts in ubuntu? can you please paste ntfs line or pastebin your /etc/fstab file PLEASE? ty. [04:19] how can i disable compiz from the cli? [04:20] Dshepherd sudo killall compiz.real [04:20] multiverse: Hey, no luck vga=792 in kernel line didn't change anything. [04:21] DShepherd: apt-get remove compiz (just kidding, it will get the job done, but don't do this :) [04:21] Fetenfetenn: is there anyway i can stop compiz from starting up from the commandline. I think its missing with my gnome session. [04:21] red22: =P [04:22] What's the error again? [04:22] 604 MB's downloaded [04:22] multiverse: Any other ideas? [04:22] DShepherd, readup to my answer [04:22] nathan: what's the error again? [04:22] * DShepherd looks up [04:23] Fetenfetenn: i saw that answer already. that will just kill the process. [04:23] I wish Flight Simulator 2004 would run in Ubuntu [04:23] I'd give microsoft the flick [04:23] Fetenfetenn: i want to know how to disable compiz startup when the gnome session starts.. from the commandline.. [04:23] multiverse: The error is: "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode." with the buttons Shutdown Configure and Continue, Configure takes me to screen and graphics setup. no matter what graphics settings I change, when I reboot it goes back to 800x600 resolution and the same error message. [04:23] MinusSeven: Check out gl-117 [04:23] DShepherd: i see, sorry i'm checking that [04:24] Fetenfetenn: that's kool. no need to be sorry [04:24] !fixres | nathan, have a go at that [04:24] nathan, have a go at that: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

The VirtualBox documentation is really good on that. [04:25] Anyone here set up qemu with samba? [04:25] ok [04:25] I'd like to set up a folder that I can access within Windows on Qemu [04:25] bradv, yea i thought so but linux shared folder to windows..thts gonna be a bit of a hussle [04:26] DShepherd: When I follow the first instructions on there to auto detect, the very first command gives me an error in terminal. [04:26] Microsofties: Not at all. Took me five minutes. Check out http://www.virtualbox.org/download/UserManual.pdf [04:26] but I'm sharing other folders with other computers in my house using samba, and I don't want them to be able to see the folder. [04:26] Anyone know how I can accomplish this? [04:26] 650MB downloaded [04:26] not much to go [04:26] Nathan, also check the manufacturer and model of your graphics card, and see if it requires a "Restricted Driver" [04:27] bradv, cheers [04:27] Vuen: Put it in a different group. [04:27] my SSH refuses to connect, any common problems people know? [04:27] nm just got it [04:27] Fetenfetenn: hmm I dont think compiz is my problem [04:27] Fetenfetenn: not sure what is though [04:27] multiverse: it's an NVIDIA GeForce 7950, 512 ram. and it does have a restricted driver, but when I select to use that driver upon rebooting it defaults back to the same error and low resolution, and the vesa driver. [04:28] brb [04:28] Have you reviewed NVIDIA's bug system? Sometimes solutions appear there, but aren't broadly communicated. [04:28] I downloaded the ubuntu 7.10 iso and burned to cd. When I try to boot into it, I get the install menu. When I hit enter, I get "read error" on my cd-rom. But I've tried several cd-roms [04:28] Not often, I admit. [04:28] DShepherd can you get into X?

[04:29] tried with failsafe session? [04:29] bradv: group? what do you mean? [04:29] DShepherd: on that fixvideoresolutionhowto sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf gives me the following error in terminal: "cp: missing destination file operand after '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' [04:29] It happens with new fedora iso too. [04:29] Fetenfetenn: hmm. no, let me try that [04:29] jdhanley: Did you check the md5sum of the iso file before you burned it? [04:29] yes. The md5sum checks out ok according to Ubuntu hash [04:29] Vuen: Permissions. Users and Groups. Or do you all log in as the same user?? [04:30] jdhanley: burning at a slower speed sometimes helps [04:30] jdhanley: Then you probably have a drive issue. Try a different cdrom drive. [04:30] I burned at 12x. [04:30] bradv: what? i'm the only person that uses this computer. [04:30] I've tried about 5 different cd-rom drives. [04:30] jdhanley: I burned at 4x [04:30] Vuen: You said other people used it remotely?

I do know that whatever option I choose form the menu, I get the same error. [04:33] Vuen: You can set up permissions in samba, so that only certain users can see certain folders. Its the same problem as saying that you want one computer to be able to see one folder, and another computer to be able to see a different set of folders.

[04:34] bradv: Thanks for the reminder [04:35] DShepherd maybe there's something in /var/log/Xorg.0.log that can help to figure out something [04:35] Jack_Sparrow: What do you mean by "self test"? I did verify the md5 checksum. It is fine. [04:35] jdhanley: Did you verify the md5 of the burned cd not just the file before you burned it [04:35] Microsofties: thanks for the offer. i have everything working, but i really just wanted to compare my fstab to the ubuntu default, just to be on the safe side. things seem to be working, but i'm sure my current fstab looks different than the default (which also worked) [04:35] Fetenfetenn: ok,, let me check there [04:36] Are a program that is similar to GoldWave!??!?!?!??!!

[04:37] hey guys, I bought a new computer and want to move the ubuntu installation from my old computer to the new one. can i just pop in the hard drive on the new computer and have it work? [04:37] cabroni_: Audacity is one, theres probably others, have a look see at Ubuntu Studio packages [04:37] i prove audacity, but too long to learn, [04:37] red22: The problem is that there is no standard fstab file, since ppl install to different partitions or drives, have various other oses, etc. Also if using uuid no two ever should be identical [04:37] jdhanley: if you have a running linux system you can make a new iso from it and get an md5 that way [04:38] cabroni_: then look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/PackageList [04:38] !md5 [04:38] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [04:39] genii: yeah, but other than the specific uuid, ubuntu sets the same default mount options for a windows ntfs partition. i don't wanna copy paste your line, just to compare mount options. [04:39] why arent any of my hard drives listed in the /mnt directory? [04:39] genii: that is, compare my current mount options vs the default that ubuntu sets up [04:39] i love xmms, but how can i configure it to set as default player??

[05:11] no, i dont sorry [05:11] or you can write one yourself, and its done [05:11] jdhanley: what software/os [05:11] Learning-Ubuntu - Package ncurses-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package. [05:11] oh, i got that [05:11] thats why i stopped earlier [05:11] blueeraser, vista is trying to force people to buy supercomputers for their homes. [05:11] newguy: Don't panic about your data. You can always create another install of Linux and mount your existing drive. [05:11] deleriumz, Yes I am [05:11] joerlend, you convert them to .iso then mount them. Dont expect copy proitected games to work however. [05:11] It doesn't seem like it is installing. [05:11] arang2: that's hard to say quickly, better response, and somehow better configuration, i hadn't have to touch any files and apps that didn't work before started working: wine, quake3, Skype [05:11] deleriumz, AMD64 install [05:11] With windows, you have to find a program, usually costs hundreds or thousands of dollars, and has more features than you could learn in a lifetime. [05:11] Hi I want to use Ubuntu on a small partition for educational purposes, Would Edubuntu be best for that purpose? [05:11] Dr_willis, I know that I can mount iso-files, but that wasn't the question. [05:12] bradv sorry you mean install over the already installed OS? [05:12] i have tried all the faq's i can find and still not working [05:12] Abu-Aadam, educational as in learn about Linux or use it for school work? [05:12] nevhood, You need to install the whole developed thingie :D Its somewher ein that thread [05:12] Jack_Sparrow: using 'dd' command in Ubuntu 5.04 live cd. [05:12] Fetenfetenn: nice [05:12] I needed a program to combine several pdf files into one, looked for one for windows, would have cost a fortune. [05:12] lol, we both fail at reading nevhood [05:12] dr willis can i bother you again with more questions ? [05:12] nevhood, sudo apt-get install build-essential ncurses-dev gettext [05:12] then went into linux, and found one, for free [05:12] I just downloaded a bootable Ubuntu ISO with the intention of installing it to a different partition on this same machine. Does anyone know of any tricks (perhaps with GRUB) to allow me to boot from this ISO sitting on my hard drive without burning it to a CD? (not 'cause I'm lazy, but because I can't boot from the CD at the moment) [05:12] Creed: learn Java [05:12] very simple [05:12] joerlend, bchunk - CD image format conversion from bin/cue to iso/cdr [05:12] newguy: No you can install on another partition. Focus on fixing the problem at hand, but don't panic about your data - there's no need. [05:12] Fetenfetenn: but there isnt some way to fix the flash thing? [05:12] hal9k2010, sure why not. [05:12] arang2: the only thing i regret is not knowing beforehand how to make a package from the sources [05:12] jdhanley: Dont you have a newer cd around... [05:12] yes it is [05:13] Only the 52x. [05:13] Reading is hard... :D [05:13] it worked for me with Ubuntu PA [05:13] bradv ah ok, well could i please get some help im really in it deep [05:13] Does anyone here do Gutsy on a Thinkpad T23 [05:13] Jack_Sparrow: things resolved? [05:13] Creed: my other system is UFS, Gentoo/freebsd and eclipse won't work with it [05:13] bradv heres my post on the forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3816335#post3816335 [05:13] Maybe someone can help me, I installed my nvidia geforce3 ti200 drivers, and can access TV out using Nvtv TV Out tool. however when I put a movie in fullscreen the picture on the TV is really low, so half the movie is off the bottom of the TV. Any ideas how I could fix this? [05:13] arang2: have to google again for it tho [05:13] tritium: No problems here [05:13] everyone is waiting on me too, hate when that happens. [05:13] Abu-Aadam, youll be fine with any flavor of ubuntu, the education version has tools that mainly help with school stuff. I would install ubuntu and the tools you need for java dev. [05:13] okay [05:13] Fetenfetenn: im considering the jump to pulseaudio, have u tested it with vmware? [05:13] tritium: thaks for checking [05:13] Jack_Sparrow: I must get going. Thanks for the help. I'll have to give it another try tomorrow. Thanks again! [05:14] np [05:14] newguy: I saw the post. Unfortunately I don't think I can help you, as I have never used ndiswrapper. [05:14] i've never heard anyone say anything good about vista [05:14] i want to see dvd in this laptop with xubuntu ... i down loaded libdvdcss what now ? [05:14] Creed: what is ubuntu-alternative? [05:14] thanks, Jack_Sparrow [05:14] !dvd | hal9k2010 [05:14] hal9k2010: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [05:14] !dvd [05:14] bradv so even if i install ubuntu on a partition, i still lose my data right? [05:14] When windows 95, 98, xp etc came out, apart from millenium, people said good things about it [05:14] Abu-Aadam, that is the alternate cd for systems which either cant boot using the normal cd or users who want more control over the install process. [05:14] but never heard anything good about vista [05:14] bradv so even if i install ubuntu on a partition, i mean i have to reinstall every to get my OS to how it was before [05:14] newguy: Not necessarilly [05:14] newguy: No you will not. As long as you don't overwrite your existing partition, you will be fine. [05:14] bradv the conky, the banshee, the themes everything? [05:15] MinusSeven, When xp came out is was a disaster it was sp2 that made it popular [05:15] bradv the compiz which took me forever to figure out [05:15] thats true, i guess [05:15] * Dr_willis is waiting for service pack 1 for Ubuntu. [05:15] arang2: nope, but AFAK if it works with alsa, then the pulseaudio wrappers will take it [05:15] bradv so i just make a partition, install and then? [05:15] i downloaded how mdo i istall it ? [05:15] Creed: is kubuntu kde4? [05:15] SP2 made XP the best (IMO) OS...Great for work, great for gaming, great for everything (if you're not a complete newbie to the tech age). [05:15] Abu-Aadam, kde4 is not in kubuntu yet. [05:15] Maybe vista will get better, but the direction microsoft is going in, its a gimick [05:15] Abu-Aadam, nope [05:16] Fetenfetenn: would u recommend PA to people?, do u think the guys at fedora did the right thing about using it as default? [05:16] no, but you can install the RC1 if you want | Abu-Adam [05:16] MinusSeven, SP1 makes Vista pretty alright, it stops being a resource hog and plays nice with a lot of old hardware. [05:16] Dr_willis: it's in fedora, their releases are always bleeding edge so they can experiment [05:16] hi [05:16] hi [05:16] Abu-Aadam, thers a kde4 live cd that just had a new release today. thats how i test out KDE4 safely :P [05:17] i need XP to run AutoCAD [05:17] i cant believe this [05:17] and a few other programs [05:17] when I can afford to, I'll just have two computers [05:17] MinusSeven: I dual boot.. works fine for me [05:17] Dr_willis: I wouldn't test personally. Is 2.5 GB enough for Ubuntu/Java/Eclipse [05:17] Learning-Ubuntu - sudo apt-get install build-essential ncurses-dev gettext doesn't work... [05:17] i just try install a bloody wireless usb and the whole bloody OS is stuffed [05:17] dual boot is what I do too [05:17] Dr_willis: can Ubuntu access UFS partitions also [05:17] nevhood, What error are you getting [05:17] with a shared partition [05:17] Abu-Aadam: no.. go bigger [05:17] nevhood, If its a big error post to pastebin.com [05:17] Abu-Aadam, no idea. i dont do java.. but 2.5 gb is awfull tiny. :) i got usb thumb drives bigger then that. [05:17] more people should use linux [05:18] they are [05:18] Edubuntu is a brilliant distribution [05:18] arang2, i've been using ESD from my slackware days, i don't see how one could live without multichannel audio, it is a little more work but it is definitely worth [05:18] anybody know what kinds of things make a computer emit a constant high pitched sound similar to a system beep, but that doesn't stop, except sometimes when you press random keys? [05:18] <-- Was an ex WIndows user till Ubuntu Gutsy came out [05:18] not to say if you play with it over the network [05:18] Mimi: stuck key on keyboard [05:18] there are even windoze clients, LOL [05:18] Fetenfetenn: dmix could be a good compromise u think? have u ever used it? [05:18] I might even buy a Ubuntu coffee mug [05:18] Learning-ubuntu on sudo-apt-get install linux-headers i get couldnt find package [05:18] Learning-Ubuntu: so you're using windows again? [05:19] when I'm programming and get stuck, I always make a cuppa [05:19] ffs, thats it i loose everything GODAMITQEW4OIHLSKJCJL [05:19] Abu-Aadam, No Im using an Ubuntu AMD 64 install [05:19] Jack_Sparrow -does it when unattended [05:19] Kaffeine should be a programming tool [05:19] Mimi: if the key is stuck yes... [05:19] @ ignore that, typed it wrong lol [05:19] Learning-Ubuntu - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45447/ [05:19] Mimi, dying network card, CPU, north/southbridge...pretty much anything can make a high pitched noise. If I run at my stock CPU clock I get a high pitch from the CPU and an old NIC I have plugged in. [05:19] arang2, nope i havent even heard of it [05:19] SWAT: I know an iMac running Windows in bootcamp is not for serious gammers. But for just the occasional gamer, would an iMac be a real disapointment? [05:19] brb, I have to go to college shortly and learn something [05:20] Mimi: There are other things that can do it. Describing a sound online is a bit tough [05:20] Fetenfetenn: have u set a cron thing so u get the SVN and recompile it at a set time in the night? [05:20] Jack_Sparrow: could a key be stuck without appearing that way? [05:20] what's the wireless icon for your taskbar called? Ie, how do I add it? (I deleted my top panel) [05:20] Mimi: Ever spill coffee in your keyboard... I have, and it sounds just like that [05:20] Owlyn, problem with gaming is that eventually you get a game that your system cant handle.. and it really really gets you mad. :) [05:21] nope, no coffee [05:21] ey guys my ubuntu keeps on hanging,what can be the cause of that? [05:21] network manager? [05:21] I am quite unhappy with the rendering of small fonts in gutsy/gnome on my lcd [05:21] newguy, do you have a cd or dvd burner? Use the livecd and burn anything important to blank media then reinstall. Else wait around and ask nicely for someone to help you repair the wireless...I would but wireless isnt my thing. [05:21] Mimi: unplug the keyboard or try a different one [05:21] can anyone help with the issue [05:21] ? [05:21] Jack_Sparrow: sometimes clicking the system bell settings stops the beep [05:21] arang2 no, just checked out once, as i'm about to go offline for a big while if it works now then fine [05:21] im ruunig a 64 bit [05:22] Jack_Sparrow: I don't see it on my list of choices... [05:22] jickles: what video driver/ monitor config are you using [05:22] Creed i have no CD/DVD burner, no floopy drive, no USB flash drive [05:22] Fetenfetenn: ok man im gonna test it in a VM first before passing it to production [05:22] jickles: have u ever seen your dispaln in for v4l [05:22] oh man already got "there was an error starting gnome settings daemon [05:22] cronik: Google your problem and see what matches your symptoms. Just saying "doesn't work" gives us little to go on. [05:22] fresh install too :( [05:22] Learning-Ubuntu - did you see the pastebin I sent you? [05:22] any way to fix that? [05:22] sure [05:22] nevhood, yes just a second [05:22] networkmanager is what I see in the ? about [05:23] arang2, if it helps you i have the sources with compiled binaries, all packed in a tarball [05:23] Jack_Sparrow, proprietary nvidia drivers, 1680x1050 lcd and 1280x1024crt in twinview [05:23] newguy, then create another partition using gparted (on the livecd) and install again to that partition. All your data will be safe in the main parittion (long as you dont CHOOSE to install over that). [05:23] 13M [05:23] exit [05:23] here is the link to a post i made today,here you can see the issue [05:23] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=619483 [05:23] jickles: did you get the drivers from nvidia or the restricted drivers from ubuntu [05:23] hai\ [05:23] Fetenfetenn: sure man could u email it to me? (could u PM me to give u my email in the private) [05:23] Creed what about all the settings, the compiz, the conky, the themes, the way i had it perfect, after much agrovation [05:23] jickles: but v4l is another stuff [05:23] Creed everything will be lost?

Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [05:24] Jack_Sparrow, from ubuntu [05:24] Jack_Sparrow i cant make backups [05:24] newguy: it is only one line in a terminal [05:24] jickles: my chise is goole for same quest as u ask... [05:24] newguy, yes those things will be lost unless you know where all the settings are stored and back those up as well. I would stick around and keep asking (with patience) for someone to help you fix the issue. [05:24] Jack_Sparrow i cant make backups [05:24] nevhood, Try sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev [05:24] what do you guys think can be the problem [05:24] Jack_Sparrow i dont have a DVD/CD burner, i dont have flash drives, i dont have floppy drive [05:24] marko, hmm I could try that [05:25] newguy: You can make a tar and store it on a spare partition [05:25] too bad jik [05:25] Learning-Ubuntu - I get the exact same error. [05:25] I am currently running UbuntuStudio with the rt kernel. Is the Gutsy release appropriate for my system?

[05:42] What do you guys use to keep track of appointments, get alarms, set repeating events, etc. Anything else than Evolution Calendar? shrug [05:42] deleriumz, Hmm Im kind of lost with that one bud:(. Im pretty sure that files downloaded to your home folder should make you the owner ;/ [05:42] Hi, when trying to install Ubuntu, I get to a part where it says "Low Graphics Mode" and I click continue (I have tried setting it to 1440x900 and other modes) and then lines of text appear... after that, I am able to input text into a dos-like frame but nothing happens from there on out [05:42] Are there any support people on? [05:42] Does anyone have any clue why all my videos I try to play (local videos) turn pink and don't play? [05:42] * genii thinks about 5125Mb as opposed to 512Mb [05:42] !res [05:42] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[05:43] without reinstalling ? [05:43] something like a disk image ? [05:43] snausage what kind of printer is it? [05:43] hey I am tryiing to use ffmpeg to convert an AVI video to an MPEG4 video.... I am REALLY stuck and I cannot find anything on google nor the documentation to help me, please can anyone help? [05:43] newguy: I am usually up early... so if I am here in the am I will try to help again.. [05:43] hp 5940 [05:43] geil so pretty wrong, the filezise have nothing to do with lan speed ! [05:43] Jack_Sparrow: That !res fix is next to useless :P I've tried everything there. [05:43] nathan: Support here is everyone and no one [05:43] it work fine through anouther xp comp on the network [05:43] thanks, but i think this is the end of the line for me [05:43] all my uni workk, gone [05:43] uni papers =gone [05:44] just not from the linux [05:44] Could someone help me troubleshoot my installation? [05:44] newguy: Dont give up... do you have a spare pc around? [05:44] Kl4m: Happen to know anything about Ubuntu running in low-graphics mode? keep defaulting back to it when I reboot, 800x600 reso. [05:44] snausage can you ping your window machine? [05:44] how would a do that? [05:44] Kalamarencu, thers several ways to copy the os. You may have to reinstall grub and perhaps tweak the fstab file - depending on how you do it. [05:44] newguy: Sometimes just walking away helps. Let the drive, if it is going bad .. cool down. it might last long enough to get your data [05:44] Kalamarencu, i used 'mondo/mindi' ages ago. havent tryed any other tools lately. [05:45] do you know what an IP is? [05:45] yes [05:45] i just dont know ubuntu [05:45] nathan: As often as not it is the monitor setup and not the video driver [05:45] Dr_willis: I will look for it [05:45] windows no prob ubuntu totally new to me [05:45] do you know how to find it on your windows machine? [05:45] goodnight all, play nice [05:45] yup [05:45] geirha_: the best size for lan share is ext2 (not3) or ufs, and then u will see your movies withot dropouts ( ( (*ext3 gives every 2h minute dropouts untill it synced again)) [05:45] memorized [05:45] ok open a terminal in ubuntu [05:45] Kalamarencu, theres proberly a dozen+ other tools that ive never heard of that may do it better. depenng on your needs. [05:45] marko: So you are saying transfers from ext3 when you put it over lan to another computer is 512 bytes per second? (If I understand) [05:45] Jack_Sparrow: It keeps defaulting back to vesa, any recomendations on checking the monitor setup? [05:46] Could someone help me troubleshoot my installation? I keep getting a black screen and nothing happens from there (i'm able to input text) [05:46] nathan: what I do on cases like these is "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" then set only the resolution I want as the available ones [05:46] Can I just copy the prefs? [05:46] How can I log out to just the CLI ? [05:46] geirha_: mu ubuntu is ufs today [05:46] Kalamarencu, with mondo/mindi i could 'backup' to a network machine. then boot a mondo live cd. and restore from the network box. :) [05:46] nathan: Do you have a LCD screen? [05:46] ext3 have too many limiteds [05:46] can anyone help me with my peculiar intel 945gm problems? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=619920 [05:46] k [05:46] Kl4m: Yes, two of them, both 19" widescreens [05:46] Dr_willis: that sounds nice [05:46] I am googling it [05:47] Kalamarencu, yes. Its an older tool Not sure how its changed in the last year or so, [05:47] now type "ping " and press enter [05:47] learning-ubuntu: the files i downloaded are on my desktop, when i try to MANUALLY copy them to the folder it says i dont have permission to copy them (so i need to chmod) when i go to change the permissions (right click permissions) it says im not the owner. [05:47] learning-ubuntu: the command in the terminal doesnt copy them [05:47] Kalamarencu, whenyou start talking about backingup/restoring 300+GB of OS data these days.. it gets to be a task. [05:47] if it tels you you have responses congratulations it means your machines can see each other. [05:47] Dr_willis: I have 5 Hdds plugged in this computer [05:48] now you told me it was an hp5940? [05:48] geirha_: if u want to stream film with över 512MB ext 3h is givening u o dropouts in frames [05:48] in ext3 [05:48] Kalamarencu, heh. I had one pc with 8 at one time.. and was able to replace them all with a single hd. :) Progress! [05:48] deleriumz, one second I have one of those files here let me check something [05:48] Dr_willis: they total 750 GB ... I do not intend backing up all, I want to install to a sata instead of a Pata [05:48] yup i got replys yes it is an hp5900 but it goes under the 5940 [05:48] learning-ubuntu: i tried this command sudo cp ~/Desktop/alsa-driver-1.0.15.tar.bz2 even though i got rid of the wildcards it still says its not there [05:49] geirha_: my storry and i have pictureres because why it so [05:49] and ufs under Linux is better, is it? [05:49] learning-ubuntu - it's working now! :D [05:49] Dr_willis: another question somehow related. Does Ubuntu know RAID? [05:49] nevhood [05:49] learning-ubuntu - i just finished installing updates === dkt is now known as dkT [05:49] ok great. Now. btw I guess I need to know which version of ubuntu you have.... [05:49] marko. I run a backup system on ext3 and so far it as not let me down (1 terabyte+ RAID5). With around a million files. Is there a reason you know of for this slowdown? Maybe it's the video software. [05:49] Kalamarencu, it can do raid.. but i dont use raid any more. [05:49] I'm trying to install my NVIDIA drivers, but it tells me to run it again outside of X. How can I exit X and get to the CLI ? [05:49] nevhood: did you download and copy the files to the asla directory? [05:50] deleriumz - not yet [05:50] i'm not that far :P [05:50] i d/l yesterday 7.0.1 i beleive [05:50] Dr_willis: Why not ? Not stable? [05:50] nevhood, Then follow this thread :) [05:50] sorry 7.10 [05:50] hey [05:50] Kalamarencu, i needed the hds elseware for one.. and really dident see that much of a gain for my needs. I needed space. more then speed. [05:50] is there a way to change the bluetooth hostname that your computer broadcasts [05:50] i would like to get rid of the -0 [05:50] Kalamarencu: RAID setup is way easier to setup with alternate install cd, if it's not impossible with desktop cd [05:51] Dr_willis: I see [05:51] deleriumz, if you right click the files does it give you an option to extract here? [05:51] Kalamarencu: I sue raid (1 and 5) with Ubuntu. it works just fine. [05:51] umm [05:51] Kl4m: Thanks [05:51] learning-ubuntu: yes [05:51] !raid [05:51] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [05:52] Well then extract it. It might make your desktop look a bit more crowded but you could remove it afterwards [05:52] Kalamarencu: Just don't use a fakeraid chip if you ca possibly avoid it. === frans is now known as bludsign [05:52] ok [05:52] go to "system>administration>system monitor" first tab will tell you about your system. [05:52] learning-ubuntu: after i extract then what? lmao [05:53] cafuego: I will keep that in mind [05:53] nevhood, Here is the exact same thread that I used http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/search.php?searchid=1878577 [05:53] I'm trying to install my NVIDIA drivers, but it tells me to run it again outside of X. How can I exit X and get to the CLI ? [05:53] BTW, you wouldn't happen to have a thinkpad would you? [05:53] deleriumz, heres what you can do . Select the alsa files you downloaded . Rioght click and then click cut [05:53] Kl4m: im real suare it because ext3, o got over to ufs, all my problems is gone, win can read ufs, also osx, but the good one, is good readen in network trans [05:53] deleriumz, Go to Places > Home [05:54] chadder, you are trying to install the drivers from nvidia.com ? you have tried to use the nvidia driveres in the repositories? they are MUCh easier to install. [05:54] ext3 is crap [05:54] deleriumz, Create a gfolder called alsa and paste them in there [05:54] Can someone help me? My laptop battery likes to not charge when I plug in the AC adapter. It works sometimes, but not all of the time. [05:54] in sice over 512MB in network share [05:54] Kl4m, rember that not all advice you get on irc is good advice. :) [05:55] no a compaq evo [05:55] what should i be looking for in the system monitor [05:55] Todddoh: could be your power adapter, but more likely the jack. Is the jack loose at all? [05:55] ufs is good the best i got, tell me [05:55] marko, Dr_willis: I never really checked it for performance or latency but for scalability and reliability it was fine [05:55] sorry, that was for axjv [05:55] Dr_willis: http://www.mondorescue.org - is this it? [05:56] @ learning-ubuntu: I went to home right click > new folder > Alsa Pasted extracted folders into it. But...Wasnt mkdir users/src/alsa or something why not there? [05:56] first tab labeled "system" tells you what the system is. [05:56] tech: Oh. Well I know both work, because it works when the laptop is off. [05:56] Kalamarencu, yep thats it. [05:56] Kl4m: i have numbers, i take a sho, u will see [05:56] tech: But when I'm within the X server it doesn't work [05:56] *shott [05:56] Dr_willis: THank you [05:56] :) [05:56] How do I exit X without restarting? I just want to skip back to CLI [05:56] axjv: so it works everytime without fail when the laptop is off? [05:56] deleriumz, You can paste the files where you want it need not be in any specified folder. [05:57] tech: Yeah. [05:57] marko: I think you're just trolling. ext3 works absolutely fine in most cases, cases which include very large files. [05:57] chadder, stop the gdm service. 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' [05:57] marko: I do the occasionaly bit of video grabbing and have no problems with 8+GB files. [05:57] Kl4m: i think dis is the test ever file systems in practical votet from kids and see dvd [05:57] learning-ubuntu: well if i knew this 6 hours ago.... lol [05:57] marko: For streaming apps, try xfs [05:57] kkl4 i will made it [05:57] deleriumz, Im sorry deleriumz Im pretty new to Ubuntu . hence my screen name [05:57] marko: ufs is a BSD filesystem and without special params Linux won;'t even write to it. [05:58] learning-ubunut: truth, ima try to compile now [05:58] deleriumz, You did install , ncurses etc [05:58] ubuntu [05:58] release 7.10 (gusty) [05:58] lerne; linux 2.6.22-14-generic [05:58] gnome 2.20.1 [05:58] harware [05:58] cafuego: ever dumb one !! file system is NOT ubunt !!!!!! [05:58] memory 249.8mb [05:58] process: mobile intel(R) PENTIUM 4 - M CPU 1.80 HZ [05:59] ok good. Go to system>administration>printing [05:59] marko: what? [05:59] OK [05:59] is your windows printer shared already? [05:59] cafuego: ubuntu is a work of [05:59] yup [05:59] hey all [05:59] APT [06:00] marko: You're not making any sense. [06:00] hi, my installation is denying to shut down, won't respond even to sys.rq+alt+reisub any ideas? [06:00] ok select the option with windows and smb in it. [06:00] what installer package format does ubuntu use? [06:00] learning-ubuntu: yes, i followed the link you gave me step by step up until now [06:00] cafuego: im a proo in sense [06:00] deleriumz, :D good luck ! [06:00] and trolling, I see. [06:00] Learning-Ubuntu - when I enter sudo tar xjf alsa-lib*.bz2 [06:00] too bad you can't do screen prints in IRC [06:01] neilthereildeil, ubuntu uses the apt packaging system. apt-get, and synaptic and so forth. [06:01] i get a "not found in archive error" [06:01] whats the package format? [06:01] rpm? [06:01] john__: There are pastebins though. [06:01] neilthereildeil, 'apt'uses .deb's [06:01] cafuego: ubuntu is NOT a FILESYSTEM [06:01] ok [06:01] huh? [06:01] nevhood, you are running the command where the archive is downloaded correct? [06:01] marko: Really? [06:01] hey guys I got a question AA (the army game has to have 800-600 res. to play (but I don't want that to be constantly like that on my computer so is there a way just to change it on the game so I don't constinly have to flipflop back and forth? [06:01] what is a pastebin [06:01] cafayepp [06:01] marko: I never said it was. I told you Linux didn't support writing to UFS by default. [06:02] cafuego: yepp [06:02] !pastebin | john___ [06:02] john___: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [06:02] marko: Which makes your claims that ufs is better than ext3 a bit hard to believe. [06:02] i am running it in /usr/src/alsa [06:02] it downloaded on the desktop [06:02] cafuego: linux worx well in ufs and ext as reiser [06:02] brandon_: try ctrl-alt then + or - on numpad to cycle thru resolutions [06:02] marko I understand that the ext* inode system can theoretically be slower on random access in "higher" parts of a very big file. I personnaly never hit the point where it made a practical difference. [06:02] try and copy it to the user/src/alsa dir [06:03] marko: grammar check? [06:03] marko: That line made *no* sense at all. [06:03] can someone tell me if its possible to recover a file deleted from ext3 partition? [06:03] i told a story of ext3 klm [06:03] geni: in game you're saying? [06:03] yeye, border u [06:03] brandon_: In X in general [06:03] ext3 is crap [06:03] cafuego, Now you are getting the core of whats being said i think. :) ive yet to see much thats made sence from him today. [06:03] Learning-Ubuntu - oh! i see what i did wrong [06:03] geni: ? [06:03] I downloaded the library twice [06:03] it's really easy. Unless you know you need xfs, you should use ext3. [06:03] Euch, rap is just missing one letter. c. [06:03] rapc? [06:03] ... [06:03] Crap you idiot. you put the c on the other end [06:03] oic [06:03] ufs doesn't come into it. it's not a Linux filesystem, it' a BSD filesystem. [06:03] Though you could also say it's missing an e [06:04] wtf is erap? [06:04] * Batty bangs his head repeatedly against a wall [06:04] Shit sorry [06:04] Sorry! [06:04] hello my future family. i need help installing ubuntu on my macbook, ditching os x all together. i found this nice guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook though its for dual-boot what steps do i need to take to format the drive and get rid of all my os x sloppy os [06:04] nevhood, :) Good . nevhood , deleriumz This is the thread which I got helped with for my sound problem http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/search.php?searchid=1878577 [06:04] About the language] [06:04] * cafuego bangs SpeakerManias head against a wall [06:04] sweet.... will look later... [06:04] thanks [06:04] the best file system is reiser, men a macke a cheke take ours Kl4m , so no one do it... [06:04] SpeakerMania: you could have just posted the bash.org url [06:04] lol [06:04] Okay, that was form bash.org, so I have to put THAT on bash.org. I'm so sad. [06:04] learning-ubuntu: im compiling the driver now. seems to be working just takin a bit [06:04] from [06:04] !best [06:04] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. [06:04] Kl4m: the best system crossover is ufs [06:05] marko; reiser4 is really fast at *some* things and not particularly good at not crashing. [06:05] can someone tell me if its possible to recover a file deleted from ext3 partition??? [06:05] brandon_: If you have more than 1 possible screen resolution in your machine and you are inside of Gnome or KDE or other window managers, ctrl-alt then the - or + on the numpad key will cycle thru these [06:05] axjv, Your laptop not charging or you ar ejust missing the battery icon . Whjich seems to be greatly dependent on the screensaver [06:05] amitprakash, ive heard its possible.. some times..if you are lucky [06:05] amitprakash: With a lot of effort, provided you mounted the filesystem as read-only asap. [06:05] cafuego: never tested ext4 [06:05] Learning-Ubuntu: Actually, I think it might be charging now. The charging light just doesn't turn on. [06:05] Learning-Ubuntu - I am trying to delete the extra file [06:05] brandon_: So cycle to the game resolution, run it, then after exit cycle to what you use normally [06:05] marko: What does ext4 have to do with anything? [06:05] amitprakash: Yes it's possible but I have no idea of the actual tools. You have to stop using the file system as soon as possible [06:05] Learning-Ubuntu: Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. [06:05] cafuego, i did that.. however debugfs : lsdel shows 0 inodes [06:06] john_ still there? [06:06] Learning-Ubuntu - I get this error - bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(' [06:06] bah he left [06:06] Kl4m, i am still trying to find a way :( [06:06] amitprakash: yeah, so removed from whatever inode list it has... but the data may still be there. [06:06] I'm trying to figure out what the difference is between the desktop and server distros of Gutsy... it appears that the server one is just a trimmed-down version of desktop and lacks a GUI (i.e. X and various desktop systems)? does the server distro do anything the desktop one doesn't? [06:06] yeah. I'm in another conv as well.... [06:06] nevhood, I wouldnt delete anything in there and where do Youg et that error? [06:07] ok cool [06:07] amitprakash: I think there are tools to scan the disk and obtain some (deleted) file data but I don't know what they are. [06:07] bthornton, you got it - from what i know. :) [06:07] amitprakash: don't limit your search to ext*3*. A ext2 recovery tool will work too [06:07] did you get to windows smb option in printing? [06:07] Kl4m, will try :) [06:07] Kl4m: I didn't know it was copied. I didn't even mean to paste amything either. [06:07] bthornton: The server kernel is compiled to optimise threading applications, also can address large amounts of ram and some other tweaks [06:07] axjv, Does it happen after you see a screensaver or hibernate or soemthign of that sort? [06:07] bthornton, ive yet to learn of any differances. Installer may ask a few different questions. might be some default package difrerances also. [06:07] i am just at the printer configuration -localhost [06:07] cafuego, i am saying it doesnt see any deleted inodes, not that inodes are marked for deletion [06:08] i have no idea what it means tho [06:08] genii, whouldent those optmizations also help on a desktop machine? [06:08] Learning-Ubuntu - I have two copies of the same file in that directory. [06:08] Dr_willis: I imagine they might depending on what you do with it [06:08] Learning-Ubuntu: Err, I don't use hibernate or screensavers. However, I do blank my screen after closing the laptop lid. [06:08] amitprakash: I think (but am not sure in any way) that it would list inodes marked for deletion that have not yet been processed? [06:08] yeah yeah ext 4 is fast because they said it, raiser fs4, check lot of inodes, slow, very slow in startup check for every inode.... ufs works good withouth this crap [06:08] sugiezzz [06:08] amitprakash: ... or does it makes the disk spin like mad and takes ages to run? === zen-afk is now known as senrox === senrox is now known as zenrox [06:09] wait, server kernel is different from desktop kernel? [06:09] cafuego, takes qute some time to run [06:09] \me [06:09] axjv, And i bet you are missing the icon after that happens.... [06:09] marko: Except on Linux, where you can't write to it. [06:09] lockd: yes [06:09] Learning-Ubuntu: No, it's still there [06:09] nevhood, I doubt they are the same . One is most liekly the comprssed file and the other is a folder witht he same name extracted [06:09] Can anyone tell me where my firefox folder is located? [06:09] genii: large amounts of ram optimization seems almost equal in desktop, because X/KDE/Gnome take so much darn ram [06:09] select new printer from the top right and then click on the option for windows SMB blah blah..... [06:10] axjv, I had a similar issue and I finally let it go cause it seem to happen each time a screensaver popped up :( [06:10] You know how a forced check is placed on the main hard drive every 28 times or whatever? It checks, but then this happens: http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/299/hpim0626yn4.jpg My password doesn't work. I was told to try a Live CD, but I get an error when I try to fun fsck about the HDD not being ext2 (it is ext3). ??? [06:10] cafuego: reiser fs4 ?, i have wroten in that in 1 yer [06:10] genii: network optimization (simultaneous connections) seems more likely for server [06:10] Learning-Ubuntu i found this guide to installing ubuntu on my macbook https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook though its for dual-boot what steps do i need to follow to get rid of os x? just boot from cd? and intall from there? will there be a prompt to format? thanks. [06:10] like windows printer via SAMBA ? [06:10] lockd: The server kernfilesystemn address up to 64Gb of ram as opposed to stock 4Gb in standard desktop kernelel for example ca [06:10] hey do any of you guys know if america's army is down for some reason it won't let me play! [06:10] Learning-Ubuntu - I know they are the same. I downloaded the same file earlier today on the desktop. Both are files, one has a (2) on the end. [06:10] bah laptop FN key [06:10] ok marko just come out with some numbers or a real explanation for your claims about filesystems. There are probably many computer scientists around (at least one :) ) waiting to hear them. [06:10] !firefox [06:10] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu.

[06:11] byt not in my hand [06:11] cafuego, whoever he is, he bores me [06:11] Learning-Ubuntu - I don't think it will allow me to delete the file because I have a parenthesis in the filename. [06:11] marko so right now you're just talking out of your [06:11] * cafuego has seen some numbers that will be published in a linux mag next month [06:11] Do you know what I can do? [06:11] hey do any of you guys know if america's army is down for some reason it won't let me play! [06:12] reiser4 didn't come off particularly well [06:12] bingo [06:12] ok [06:12] You know how a forced check is placed on the main hard drive every 28 times or whatever? It checks, but then this happens: http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/299/hpim0626yn4.jpg My password doesn't work. I was told to try a Live CD, but I get an error when I try to fun fsck about the HDD not being ext2 (it is ext3). ??? [06:12] samba printing. Instead of entering in a host name, enter in the IP of the windows printer [06:12] Admittedly ufs wasn't tested, so it *may* well outperform all of them, even zfs ;-) [06:12] nevhood, Were you able to compile the files ? Cause you could always delete them later :P By goign to PLaces > Home and then browsing to the folder [06:12] Kl4m: ext3 have a limited in network transfer in 512MB, every 20 minutes as so, it will bee a sync problem' [06:12] with http or just numbers [06:12] axjv, lol I never tried that . :) [06:13] I haven't figured out yet how to get the standard windows name to work in samba yet [06:13] marko: I think perhaps your network is broken. [06:13] * genii ponders the mount option "sync" [06:13] just numbers..... [06:13] ok [06:13] now forward? [06:13] yes [06:13] cafuego, not only the network.. [06:13] network errors and filesystem performance or reliability are unrelated concepts. [06:13] have you been down this road btw? [06:13] searching for drivers [06:13] Varka: :-) [06:14] i think so [06:14] Learning-Ubuntu - I wasn't able to extract before, but now I can - I had to put quotes around the filename to delete the copy. [06:14] cafuego: joking ?????? i have a gigabitlan, and working out a system with no delays, i transfer a file in 1GB in 14S [06:14] Kl4m: exactly [06:14] i found this guide to installing ubuntu on my macbook https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook though its for dual-boot what steps do i need to follow to get rid of os x? just boot from cd? and intall from there? will there be a prompt to format? thanks. [06:14] what application would you recommend using for ripping cds? [06:14] nevhood, :) [06:14] ok now i am at the selct printer screen [06:14] marko, wayne? [06:14] find the hp 5940 [06:14] marko: Except when reading from ext3? Let me assure you, there is no 512MB limit in ext3. Something else is wrong. [06:14] my kids [06:15] where do you run into problems? [06:15] checking for jpeglib.h... no [06:15] configure: error: Could not find jpeglib.h [06:15] ANY suggestions, Ive been googling [06:15] libjpeg6-dev [06:15] My question tonight is this: my folks have one of those usb wireless hubs on their desktop...how in the world do I get ubuntu to work with it??? Can you point me to a howto or something? [06:15] there is no streaming format [06:15] libjpeg62-dev (sorry) [06:15] i know [06:15] V1k1ng, youd have to know what kinda hardware is on it, specifically the firmware [06:15] hey I uninstalled KDE but I still get the Login screen as Kubuntu. how do I uninstall Kubuntu? PS On Criminal Minds tonight they show Garcia (tech analyst) using a Linux based Open Source OS [06:15] what application would you recommend using for ripping cds? i like lightweighted programs [06:15] V1k1ng: Got a USB hub on my monitor, and it works automagicall. [06:16] toresn: to iso? 'dd' [06:16] !usplash | shadix [06:16] shadix: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [06:16] shitsame EXT# IS CRAP in STREAMING FILES OVER 512 MB/s [06:16] MasterShrek, It's a D-Link [06:16] 3 [06:16] hey do any of you guys know if america's army is down for some reason it won't let me play! [06:16] V1k1ng, is it a hub or a network card? [06:16] cafuego: Actually he does have a point. What happens is that the data gets read off the drive into ram which then streams it to the other box. So every 512Mb (or howevermuch ram ) there gets a hiccup. [06:16] http://pastebin.com/m7ecf18a8 -- I get this error when i run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart but startx starts X fine. anyone know the solution? [06:16] cafuego: It is something I have experienced myself [06:16] MasterShrek, give me a second and I'll pull up my thread... [06:17] marko, watch your language and in fact we can read lowercase too [06:17] genii, what if its a ext3 ram disk. :) [06:17] w8 [06:17] genii: Sure, but that's not limited to ext3 or a limitation inherent to ext3. [06:17] i will u give u numbers [06:17] cafuego: ripping albums to mp3 and flac [06:17] w8 5 s [06:17] MasterShrek, i have disabled the word 'splash' form the kernel line so I can boot without my monitor conflicting with the res. Will this affect that? [06:17] configure: error: Could not find jpeglib.h [06:17] ANY suggestions, Ive been googling [06:17] cafuego, where can i get ext3 support?? [06:17] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart|start hangs gdm also [06:17] bluetooth01, Sorry bud I have no experience installing on a mac but I guess that is exactly what you would do. [06:17] any themes to download in beryl [06:17] marko, using 'leet' speek like w8 really does not give you much crediablity. [06:18] MasterShrek, here's my thread, I just don't know where to start looking....http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=619775 [06:18] Shadix, no i dont believe so [06:18] thx [06:18] reiserfs is made for systems with a lot of preferably small files. Due to usage of a B+ Tree (logn time) instead of the linear time search in ext2,3 performance in these conditions can increase manifold. This is pretty much all there is to it As far as I know. [06:18] Dr_willis , cafuego I agree that it's not a flaw in the ext3 fs. Just in the way the data traverses from the hd to the other box. Ramdisk might actually be a good idea [06:18] how to inject more effect in beryl [06:18] shortly [06:18] i have tried a bunch of different guides so i am a bit confused by myself i think [06:18] ok so now i just name the printer and hit forward?

That's something I haven' done in ages. I think I used sound juicer (but that's prolly not particularly lightweight). [06:19] Learning-Ubuntu - so far, so good! Thanks! :D [06:19] please help me to to injects many themes in beryl [06:19] V1k1ng, i dont know if its broadcom based or not, my friend's dlink wifi adapter is broadcom based, pretty easy to install, but i dunno about a usb dongle [06:19] The alsa stuff seems to be installing well [06:19] genii: latest Linux Journal has a readahead cache solution.

[06:24] deleriumz, the room gets quite busy and its more convienent for people to see all your info in one centralized location, hence pastebin [06:24] it would not print a test page [06:24] its not busy now is it?

I'm trying to decide where to put the share name [06:24] and the deskjet is listed under local printer [06:24] MasterShrek, there is a problem with the installer though when it prompts you for security updates and you don't have a connection [06:24] ah ok [06:24] hello all [06:24] 'im using ftp only, in all test Kl4m [06:25] Learning-ubuntu: this is what im using Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) [06:25] hey guys Im trying to burn an iso onto a cd how do I do that with linux? what do I have to download?

[06:26] hi, i was wondering if there was a way to get a integrated multicard reader working, lspci brings it up as Micro, Inc. Integrated MS/xD Controller [06:26] Learning-Ubuntu - I'm having trouble at the part where you want me to identify the model of my sound chip [06:26] V1k1ng, at least give it a try, you dont have to stick with it if she needs more, but most people (including my parents) dont really need a whole lot and fluxbox runs great :) [06:26] it's supposed to look like this smb:///123.123.123.123/printername [06:26] nevhood;Learning-ubuntu: same [06:26] how do i run 3 webcams on ubuntu at one time im very new so u would have to break it done.. [06:26] genni: Even with sudo it says the same thing [06:27] Kl4m: i have new numbers, in my hand, tested every filsystem against protocol [06:27] MasterShrek, the main thing is to get that wireless hub running, if they can surf the internet and check email, they'll love it [06:27] Ok no matter what ive tried, i cant get VNC working to a desktop on my network, i keep getting xtightvncviewer: ConnectToTcpAddr: connect: Connection refused [06:27] Unable to connect to VNC server [06:27] [06:27] Kl4m: the first one in world ! [06:27] should i just change it to look that way with my ip and printer name? [06:27] hi guys, anyone knows why gutsy cannot print to network? too bad launchpad is offline [06:27] deleriumz, So far you downloaded alsa, extracted it , compiled library, driver and utils and the needed developer files and compiled them and the only error you both are hacing is identifying the chip correct? If so tell me the motherboard or laptop you are using [06:27] the other thing you mentioned about it being a local printer.... don't know [06:27] deleriumz, Learning-Ubuntu - entering "cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec" or the like gives me "No such file or directory" [06:27] V1k1ng, yea that could possibly be an issue though, i dont know for sure if that wifi adapter will work or not [06:27] genii: ? [06:27] Kl4m: border is, ufs is best [06:27] [Job 15] Print file was not accepted (client-error-document-format-not-supported)! [06:27] Wifi-Phrea1: Yes? [06:28] Learning-Ubuntu - that's right [06:28] learning-ubuntu: Im using a toshiba satellite, not sure what motherboard [06:28] ari_stress, do you have the printer installed to cups? [06:28] marko: Linux cannot write to ufs, so it's bloody useless. [06:28] MasterShrek, it seems some have, but they haven't left much of a paper trail...you either know how to do it or you don't [06:28] ya i have no idea what is going on [06:28] Even with sudo it says not owned by this uid [06:28] trying to get ubuntu to reconize my 3 webcams need help [06:28] Kl4m: i WILL plubliciate in ubuntu-se [06:28] Learning-Ubuntu - Toshiba Satellite A135-S4727 [06:28] yes change it to the name of the windows ip and the sharename EXACTLY as it is being shared from your windows box. BTW is it XP? [06:28] MasterShrek: yes, it is an epson stylus c87 connected and shared from a suse box [06:28] nevhood: there are differnt commands to use only 1 of them works for me. you can also try lspci | grep Audio although i doubt it will help [06:28] V1k1ng, check the output from lsusb -v, you shold be able to find out what module its using [06:28] MasterShrek, I'm trying to urge my folks to buy a new laptop anyway [06:28] Wifi-Phrea1: What exactly is it you are attempting? [06:28] I installed tor [06:28] yes it is xp [06:29] ari_stress, well it should work then i would think, shared over samba? or what? [06:29] MasterShrek: shared through cups, so it's ipp? [06:29] And when I try to run the program it says var lib tor is not owned by this UID [06:29] MasterShrek, I tried to install wolvix because i heard it has great hardware support but that install failed too [06:29] You mentioned before it says the printer is attached locally? [06:29] learning-ubuntu: i ripped the sticker off that gave me my actuall model -_-' [06:29] yes [06:30] anyone [06:30] oh, well im not sure exactly how that works, ive always shared printers over samba simply for windows compatablity [06:30] deleriumz and nevhood Both fo you are using a realtek chipset IM trying to find out which one [06:30] Gutsy wireless question - once I'm connected, how can I 'refresh' the list of current wireless networks available? [06:30] It shouldn't be. If you selected the windows via samba option ubuntu should know it's network shares [06:30] on the left hand server setting [06:30] local printers [06:30] Q_Continuum, sudo iwlist eth1 scan [06:30] or wlan0 [06:30] Learning-Ubuntu - Realtek High Definition Audio [06:30] deskjet _5940 [06:30] MasterShrek, hey did what you sudgested but still have the Kubuntu login screen [06:30] MasterShrek, any gui-options?

Ignore this part..... [06:30] nevhood,Learning-ubuntu: same thing as nevhood =P a13 [06:31] Shadix, oh the login screen, i thought u meant the bootsplash [06:31] Shadix, sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [06:31] genii: thanks for the autolink, but when I went there and read through it it only linked to the same page again that says nothing for 7.10 [06:31] (for .rm files) [06:31] also having isssues where when I boot I sometimes have no keyboard or no mouse :P yah [06:31] MasterShrek, Not showing up on the GUI list :-/ [06:31] There's a linux driver on that site.

[06:32] you think? is the printer making wired noises and spitting out paper? [06:32] i did the verify it worked there should i print something at this point [06:32] AdemoS, there is no gui for ndiswrapper, there is a frontend out there somewhere tho [06:32] jorvis_: http://www.ubuntux.org/how-to-install-the-realplayer-multimedia-player [06:32] genni: ? when I try to run the program tor, it says var lib tor is not owned by this UID [06:32] ha [06:32] MasterShrek, invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm, action "reload" failed.

[06:34] Varka, I want to use k3b or gnome-baker but didn't succeed to burn, do i have to remove wodim [06:34] write down the steps so the next time you have it when you need it. njoy [06:34] DM|, where did you set up vnc, does the process start at boot? [06:34] one other quick one ? it there like a hot key to switch between the multiple screens? [06:34] Learning-Ubuntu, deleriumz - Module snd-hda-intel [06:34] learning-ubuntu: restarting and seeing if it works [06:34] MasterShrek, uh [06:34] I think that' sit [06:34] Is that what you used? [06:34] yup i was close each time i tried to figure it out [06:34] anyone familiar with webcam_server ? [06:34] Wifi-Phrea1: I understand that part. What is unknown is, is this a program which is supposed to run during boot from some init.d script? Is the thing to run even in that directory of /var/lib ? Is the directory on a drive with a filesystem other than ext2/3? etc [06:34] genii: I've verified that I have universe, restricted and multiverse repositories enabled, but when I try to apt-get install realplayer I get: "E: Package realplayer has no installation candidate" [06:34] cafuego: so i don't need to mount the filesystem install with deboostrap and edit fstab? [06:34] Now does anyone know anything about tweaking mouse motion on a thinkpad T23 [06:34] DM|, in a terminal: ps -e | grep vnc see if it gives you any output [06:35] MasterShrek no output [06:35] jorvis_: OK 1 minute I'll look into it [06:35] jorvis_, i think its just realplay [06:35] snausage: ctrl+alt+ arrowleft/right [06:35] !info realplay [06:35] Package realplay does not exist in gutsy [06:35] I accept all major credit cards... [06:35] MasterShrek, dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' [06:35] nevhood, deleriumz Im pretty sure that thread should work considering that you both have the same model.

[07:01] "x + 4 " would go to the fourth scree? [07:01] mastershrek: thanks [07:01] It works when I make it static. [07:01] Hi. How can I find out my motherboard make/model? [07:01] snausage: ctrl-alt -> and <- keys don't work for you? === Tomcat_` is now known as Tomcat_ [07:01] nice thanks [07:01] sonta, not really, most is understood already :) [07:01] Jordan_U_ was that what you were asking [07:01] multiverse, Can you pastebin the output of "sudo dhclient ath0" ? [07:02] DM|, Yes [07:02] i just started with unbuntu tonight :) [07:02] Delerium KTORRENT is best [07:02] tigran: i know lspci will show chipset information [07:02] WoW works on ubuntu with wine [07:02] snausag1: so what do you think so far?

[07:03] /cast Resurrection [07:03] I'm too drunk to engage in troubleshoot well: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45441/ [07:03] MiddleOfNowhere: Thinking? ;) [07:03] DM|, don't know :( [07:03] im so lost [07:03] :X [07:03] * gummo is away: swimming with the fishes [07:03] cafuego wheres the config file for VNC for what port it uses? [07:03] net [07:03] multiverse, You forgot the "sudo" [07:04] do any of you guys know if america's army server is down? Im just got an account and I can't log in [07:04] MiddleOfNowhere: look at this page and tell me if you think it's beyond what you could do or not, please: http://wiki.koeln.ccc.de/index.php/Ubuntu_PXE_Install [07:04] I am lost as can be === billenium is now known as BilleniumZzZ [07:04] look down [07:04] sudo lol [07:04] DM|: I think you pass it to the vnc server as command line param. [07:04] DM|: You could try tunneling it through ssh. [07:04] You have to read the whole thing. [07:04] :lol: [07:04] DM|: ssh -L 5901:127.0.0.1:5900 192.168.1.100 [07:05] MiddleOfNowhere: This entire tutorial can be done from the livecd [07:05] MasterShrek, I had the same problem with EQ.. 5-6 hours one sit. Im glad I stopped . [07:05] i adjusted the volume in alsamixer, and now the volume adjust buttons on my laptop don't change the volume level, how can i restore that functionality? [07:05] DM|: Then run 'vncviewer localhost:5901' on the local machine. [07:05] multiverse: what does sudo ifconfig show? [07:05] i dont have a dhcp server [07:05] :S [07:05] nub, Youre network configuration I think [07:05] multiverse, This probably isn't likely, but DHCP is surprisingly not the same on all OS's, every version of OSx, ( even other's that have come to my house with new and old mac's ) cannot get DHCP from my router, Linux and WIndows however can. It's bizzarre. [07:06] DM|: Running it that way is recommended anyway, as VNC isn't encrypted in any way. [07:06] Learning-Ubuntu: I'm asking what *his* ifconfig shows [07:06] nub, Gah Im sorry [07:06] cafuego Error: Can't open display: [07:06] You're right about that. [07:06] I will give u a storry, abrahame made a system for users, abrahmaam will do abraham as sudo password, no he/she dont know, but if sudo will bee be bigg i hack sudo john:john, go root [07:06] MiddleOfNowhere: The idea I will briefly outline for you. [07:06] nub, time for a new nick? :) [07:06] I am considering upgrading the firmware of my router. [07:06] DM|: Don't run the vncviewer command on the remote machine. [07:06] MasterShrek: what's wrong with nub? [07:06] sudo is evil ! [07:06] is there some tool which works like durep -w? - webreport, hdd usage statstics? [07:06] cafuego drnit [07:06] DM|, If you want to run GUI programs with ssh you need to use "ssh -X" [07:06] Open a new terminal and run it locally [07:07] nub, once you start helping people, your not much of a nub ={ [07:07] =P [07:07] sudo made Ubuntu possible. [07:07] how do i create a dir [07:07] MasterShrek: not true. [07:07] pls [07:07] P-avilion: mkdir [07:07] * sonta nubs all over himself [07:07] im rusty [07:07] thanks [07:07] lol [07:07] sudo is crap as hel [07:07] mkdir [07:07] marko, i dont know what is wrong with you, and im not really interested in, but please stop annoying people with your senseless opinions, thx [07:07] cafuego ncviewer localhost:5901 [07:07] vncviewer: ConnectToTcpAddr: connect: Connection refused [07:07] Unable to connect to VNC server [07:08] MiddleOfNowhere: You boot other machine to livecd. Then you proceed with the tutorial on that page.All things you install are temporary, only good for how long you use the livecd. Then you connect the other box to a hub and the first box to same hub. Set machine to install onto to boot from network. [07:08] Hi Rusty! How is work on making iptables NAT not suck going? [07:08] marko: sudo whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [07:08] !SPAM multiverse [07:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about spam multiverse - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:08] MasterShrek: I've been using linux for 9 years and I still consider myself a newbie [07:08] marko, stop trolling, the ops do not like being called for stupid crap [07:08] !spam multivers [07:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about spam multivers - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:08] gr [07:08] sorry [07:08] DM|, Oh, forgot you were doing VNC, ssh -X is for simply running individual applications over ssh [07:08] relax people. [07:08] nub, im in the same boat, not 9 years, but still a noob, i try not to make it public tho =P [07:08] so boot which machine? the one im installing on? [07:08] let us be civil [07:08] nub: thanks [07:09] jordan_U: I'm trying to get him to tunnel vnc over ssh, seeing as he can ssh in. [07:09] I heard there were some Drunks in here. [07:09] nub: late thanks hah [07:09] MiddleOfNowhere, yes [07:09] multiverse this is a channel for help, take off topic conversations and stuff that spams the channel to #ubuntu-offtopic [07:09] Where is tutorial? [07:09] tigran: no prob... did that work for you? [07:09] nub: yep [07:09] varaka how do u tell people to chice a strong root ? sudo ? [07:09] u never do ! [07:09] cafuego i can tunnel VNC through ssh but not how you work it [07:09] ubuntu sudo is crap [07:09] MiddleOfNowhere: You boot the livecd on box you are NOT installing linux to. Then you install all as the webpage indicates. Then you hook both boxes to a hub or switch. Set the machine which you want to put linux onto so that it boots from network. [07:10] DM|: ? [07:10] cafuego the issue i have is i cant vnc to that machine without ssh [07:10] marko: ease up [07:10] MiddleOfNowhere: tutorial http://wiki.koeln.ccc.de/index.php/Ubuntu_PXE_Install [07:10] cafuego, I know, I confused him by talking about ssh -X when he gave the error " could not connect to Display...", I was just telling him my advice was not to get VNC to work ( I had forgotten that is what he was trying to do ) [07:10] marko, ubuntu sudo is no different than any other sudo === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:10] bazhang: eazy [07:10] DM|: ... which to me implies 1) firewall or 2) vnc not listening on an external IP. [07:10] y join my users [07:10] k here goes nothing... :S [07:11] I've seen linux go through the changes from fvwm to kde/gnome. My favorite interface is cli - no X ! [07:11] cafuego my guess is number 2 [07:11] today i give them ubuntu without sudo [07:11] agreed nub, but its tough to play videos on a command line =P [07:11] nub: now I cant find any info on it from google, need to know what type of ram it supports, I'm upgrading [07:11] MasterShrek: it is! It's based on ufs, so you can have passwords longer then 512 bytes. [07:11] is there a way to boot from usb? would be much easier for me to understand [07:12] sudo is CRAP !!!! In OSX as [07:12] MiddleOfNowhere: There is one thing different from the instructions. You need to make a directory on the hd which is in there already to work with from linux and to mount. But I will assist [07:12] I have a GParted problem, I'm trying to create a new partition. The error report is here: http://pastebin.ca/793419 [07:12] MasterShrek, You don't need X to play videos, mplayer can output directly to VESA :) [07:12] i just want to get this os installed on harddrive so i can use it [07:12] MiddleOfNowhere: Is the iso file on that computer hd someplace, and if so do you know the directory path, etc [07:12] Jordan_U, i was not aware...how does it look though? [07:12] Hey mods: I got kicked for asking the same question twice the other day. Do I have to listen to marko's nonsense all night? [07:13] marko, With a single user system, why should there be multiple passwords? Why not just have one strong password? [07:13] Yes i know where the iso file is [07:13] MiddleOfNowhere: Good :) [07:13] also what option is boot from network? Cardbus NIC or Onboard Nic? [07:13] hi everyone, my apologies for such a noob question, but how do I decompress a .zip file on Ubuntu?? [07:13] Japheth, Double click it :) [07:13] right click on the file [07:13] Japheth, right click it and hit extract [07:13] in ubuntu forum ist recomende to use rott [07:13] I'm running Ubuntu Server... (no GUI) [07:13] Japheth: apt-get install unzip [07:13] extract=unzip [07:13] MiddleOfNowhere: cardbus would be the removable one. onbard would be the one on the motherboard [07:13] then take t back [07:14] and atp-get install unzip says package is not available... [07:14] i have laptop so Onboard? is that boot from network? [07:14] !info unzip [07:14] MiddleOfNowhere: onboard would be likely first choice [07:14] ubuntu SUDO is crap [07:14] but is referenced by another package [07:14] unzip: De-archiver for .zip files. In component main, is optional. Version 5.52-10ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 150 kB, installed size 340 kB [07:14] Japheth: apt-cache search unzip [07:14] make your jobs as root [07:14] leave [07:14] marko, Please stop [07:14] wrong [07:14] put it before harddrive boot?

[07:17] !offtopic [07:17] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

[07:17] MiddleOfNowhere: OK, let me think then :) [07:17] nope [07:17] im using SiS Video Card and 19" 1440x900 LCD , can i use widescreen view and compiz with that ? [07:17] snausag1, How old is the battery? [07:17] snausag1, bad battery [07:17] really hmmm was reading fine with xp today (before install) [07:17] XP lies. [07:17] MiddleOfNowhere: You should still be able to talk to me on it from the livecd so long as network sets up ok [07:18] fair enough [07:18] :) [07:18] im using feisty and 915resolution didnt help .. and compiz returns blank white scrfeen [07:18] snausag1, Look at the detailed statistics, right click on the battery icon [07:18] vcool, 915resolution is not required with the "intel" driver [07:18] actually you single click on the battery then click on "laptop battery" [07:18] what do i do then? and my computer boots very slow for some reason [07:18] MiddleOfNowhere: Does that computer have 1 network card or two? [07:18] ok [07:18] MiddleOfNowhere, How slowly? [07:19] like slowly [07:19] capacity 65% [07:19] is that true then? [07:19] like it almost hangs up or something [07:19] each computer only has 1 nic [07:19] would my password for su be anything by default? i don't remember being asked to enter one before [07:19] MiddleOfNowhere, For how long? [07:19] gosh sometimes 5 minutes it seems [07:19] never timed it [07:19] Shadix, its your root password, by default there is no root password === nomoso is now known as kenade [07:19] how can i install MLDBM.pm for perl? [07:20] ;) [07:20] does anyone have a link or something to any hot key/shortcut type page listings? [07:20] i installed skype on ubuntu 7.04 but it gives an exclamation mark sometimes it doesnt send messages wat can i do to make it fast [07:20] i hardly ever reboot for that reason [07:20] Shadix, sudo su would prolly work [07:20] MiddleOfNowhere: Have you seen if the livecd runs on that computer already? [07:20] No [07:20] /whois bellsworth [07:20] Hmm [07:20] that it does [07:20] i sure it will with 3GB of ram [07:20] MiddleOfNowhere: That should be fine :) [07:21] * MasterShrek needs more ram [07:21] what do i do genni? [07:21] if i reboot i lose all my irc connections... [07:21] MiddleOfNowhere: print out for now that web page for reference [07:21] so ? i dont get it .. [07:21] MiddleOfNowhere: then make sure you know how to return here after the livecd boot [07:22] i worried about messing up new computer [07:22] plus im in middle of downloading alternate image [07:22] MiddleOfNowhere: the liecd does not do anything to your hd unless you install or do other things like that [07:22] and alternate image has no live mode [07:22] *livecd [07:22] im getting tired [07:23] MiddleOfNowhere: I also need to sleep soon. If you wish I can walk you thru the entire process tomorrow [07:23] Yes [07:23] I am having a very weird problem; My x fails to start unless I move the cursor. It gives no error message when it fails; it just stays black. The problem is with Nvidia drivers. Can anyone help me please?

[07:24] can someone help me determine my local ip address [07:24] somehow i wiped my file system out and i wanna use it to put ubuntu on [07:24] MiddleOfNowhere: That is the time where I am. If possible return here at 6pm my time [07:24] I am trying to browse to a .php page, and it's downloading a file. I'm assuming that this means Apache doesn't know where the PHP interpreter is. However, I don't remember how it gets configured.

[07:26] Yes Learning-Ubuntu [07:26] MiddleOfNowhere, assuming /dev/sdb1 is your flash drive [07:26] MiddleOfNowhere, HP has a tool which can format it as fat32 [07:26] cafuego: that package is already installed [07:26] MiddleOfNowhere: try pendrivelinux dot com [07:26] thats what i need [07:26] MiddleOfNowhere, but its a windows tool [07:26] Hey, I'm trying to install Gstreamers again...

I recently used it to get nimblex on my usb stick [07:29] I just a a fresh reinstall of Gutsy. I don't understand linux and i downloaded adobe flashplayer. What do I do with the flashplayer now? [07:29] SuperLag: is the php module enabled in apache? 'sudo a2enmod' [07:29] anyway i think sudo is a saftey problem [07:29] MiddleOfNowhere: And I will be here 6pm onwards Toronto time [07:29] i think so i only deleted him from the "users/group.." option...how can i do that? [07:29] PoofDaddy: Delete it. [07:29] marko, only privelidged users can use sudo [07:29] Hey, I'm trying to install Gstreamers again... I downloaded the tar.gz file, what do I do with it? [07:29] cafuego: is there something better? [07:29] genii: I am one hour behind u [07:29] genii: see you then [07:30] PoofDaddy, Are you using an AMD 64 install? [07:30] MiddleOfNowhere: Will do [07:30] so i'm looking in gnome-system-monitor, and when people connect to my ftp server (vsftpd) or use ssh ... cat to transfer files, the network card usage shows 0 bytes/sec most of the time, with spikes every 2 seconds or so [07:30] PoofDaddy: There is a pre-packaged one that you can install via synaptic. [07:30] VarunJ, dont install it from source, use apt [07:30] marko: care to join #ubuntu-offtopic? [07:30] what's apt? [07:30] hello, i have a problem with fullscreen on my laptop. I have 1280x800 display. On Fullscreen 2/3 of display is out border. What can i do? [07:30] !apt [07:30] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [07:30] Learning-Ubuntu: I'm not sure. I'm "learning Ubuntu". [07:30] VarunJ, tar -zxf file.tar.gz. read the README and INSTALL [07:30] !paste [07:30] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [07:30] tralala_: open file manager, go to /home and see if it's there [07:30] master anyway a installer take a esy pass a username [07:30] sweet [07:30] PoofDaddy: Install flashplugin-nonfree via synaptic or run 'sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree' in a terminal window. [07:31] PoofDaddy, Type uname -m in your terminal [07:31] marko, the user that is installed first is generally the admin so its not really a problem, subsequent users do not have sudo access by default [07:31] cafuego, Isnt there a flash beta or somethign that is said to work better? I use the non-free one though [07:31] yep [07:31] even though i'm on GigE, it only transfers at (at most) 15 MB/s [07:32] Learning-Ubuntu, the nonfree one works good, but gnash is the free one, still qutie buggy tho afaik [07:32] is the spikeyness just a display artifact in gnome-system-monitor, or is my network card really only transfering periodically?

[07:32] gnash doesn't work very well, in my experience [07:32] Learning-Ubuntu: gpl flash seems very unusable for most things [07:32] RyanT5000: I unfortunately have to agree [07:32] it works for trivial apps (hello-world kind of stuff that i've written) [07:32] hello, somebody install success subversion with apache2.2? [07:32] MasterShrek: anyway , a user often choice a easy password for useracout = bill = bill [07:32] so i love ubuntu 100% now [07:32] marko, this is not the place to discuss, its a place to help based on the actual situation. if you want to discuss: #ubuntu-offtopic [07:33] Learning-Ubuntu: even with quite ancient things, and only movies seem to work at all [07:33] Learning-Ubuntu: hey do you want to learn some good skills [07:33] cafuego: I just installed it via synaptic. I assume that I have to restart my browser and it will be there (I'm using Opera for irc). [07:33] marko, that has nothign to do with sudo being a safety problem, thats user error [07:33] PoofDaddy: it should be, opera might need to be told where to look for it, though. [07:33] MasterShrek, please dont feed the trolls [07:33] Abu-Aadam, Sure why not? [07:33] MasterShrek: i know, but ot users know that [07:34] cafuego: I'll restart and be right back. [07:34] be right back... [07:34] test [07:34] Learning-Ubuntu: what type of education are you interested in. Do you want to become an expert on command line/ Good programmer? [07:34] im not kicked [07:34] Learning-Ubuntu: Your a lifesaver!!! [07:34] cafuego look what i found.... Trying 127.0.0.1...

[07:35] MiddleOfNowhere, Glad it works [07:35] cafuego seems to be a problem with my network [07:35] SuperLag: Yay :-) [07:35] Learning-Ubuntu: Ok, I put together some great resources in a blog [07:35] cafuego: youdda man! [07:35] cafuego: thanks man [07:35] Can I get some help w/ sudo apt-get install? I'm trying to install gstreamer (it's on desktop with name gstreamer-0.10.15.tar.gz) [07:35] cafuego: I didn't know about a2enmod. Is that an Ubuntu script? [07:35] Learning-Ubuntu: what was that command you told me earlier and what was it for? [07:35] DM|: Not quite, connection refused implies the network is up but the service isn't running. [07:35] Learning-Ubuntu: http://codecultivation.blogspot.com/ [07:35] SuperLag: Debian, but yeah. [07:36] PoofDaddy, It tells you what install you are using [07:36] how can localhost not be running cafuego lol [07:36] !synaptic | VarunJ [07:36] VarunJ: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [07:36] MiddleOfNowhere: If you are planning on installing ubuntu to 2Gb it will be a bit of tight squeeze, by the way [07:36] SuperLag: There's a2ensite as well for the virtual hosts. [07:36] SuperLag: and a2dis* for disabling. [07:36] VarunJ, you dont have to go and get the software, synaptic (a gui frontend to apt) will find it for you [07:36] but anyway MasterShrek i think there is a big problem with nickname and user accunt... the first one i hack in 2 years is bill bill root [07:36] genii: I want to put install files on 2GB usb stick and install OS to hard drive [07:37] DM|: Localhost is running, but there is nothing on the port you telnetted to. [07:37] is there a bluefish manual for dummies ?ç [07:37] marko, seriously, ive had enough, take your trolling to #ubuntu-offtopic, this isnt the place to discuss such things, especially when you are talking about hacking [07:37] I got Windows XP Home and wanna have a dual boot to a GUI Ubunto [07:37] MiddleOfNowhere: You will need to edit some files but I think the link was given to you already [07:37] Learning-Ubuntu: I'm using a very exerimental OS so It takes alot of time from me to Master the languages i want [07:37] (for mountpoint casper etc) === jussi__ is now known as jussi01 [07:37] okey MasterShrek i take your rules [07:38] Genni: i dont wanna put the OS on my flash drive [07:38] Abu-Aadam, what are you running? [07:38] Genni: i want it on Hard Disk just install from flash drive [07:38] i didn't think it was talking about hacking, thought it was advising not to use stupid passwords. but what do I know [07:38] cafuego: you don't use Opera by any chance? [07:38] I got Windows XP Home and wanna have a dual boot to a GUI Ubunto [07:38] PoofDaddy: No such beastie on amd64. [07:39] master u will never know what users dooo MasterShrek [07:39] root [07:39] cafuego: shizzle! [07:39] MasterShrek: FreeBSD kernel with Gentoo System ontop [07:39] MiddleOfNowhere: Yes, I caught that you want to install FROM the flash drive now and not TO it :) Just for redundancy sake the howto link for doing that very thing https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [07:39] isn't FreeBSDs ports what Gentoo came from? [07:40] Abu-Aadam, interesting, i dont like gentoo, seems like a waste of time lol [07:40] lockd: I suspect it was based on it. [07:40] Yes Genni: :D [07:40] how can i switch from gdm, to fluxbox ? [07:40] Abu-Aadam, why a bsd kernel? [07:40] lockd, MasterShrek cafuego Is there a Fash9 beta for amd64 cause I keep thinking that there is but I might be wrong [07:40] Flash9* [07:40] i installed fluxbox via the package thing, but i have no idea how i can get fluxbox to start [07:40] Hmm... when I try to play an mp3 with Exaile Music Player, I get the following error message: "You do not have the appropriate Gstreamer plugin installed to play this file" [07:40] MasterShrek: I like it better, the UFS filesystem is very good also [07:40] Learning-Ubuntu, its not beta, using nspluginwrapper you can use the 32 bit flash plugin [07:41] Learning-Ubuntu: you have to use the 32-bit one, what MS said [07:41] anyones heard about free satellite tv for ubuntu ? [07:41] MasterShrek: it [07:41] has anyone successfully gotten dovecot and postfix to run on gutsy? [07:41] menkio: fromt the start up/log in area choose session then flux [07:41] ic Abu-Aadam [07:41] lockd, I see I guess thats where I got confused . I was thinking it was 64 bit :X [07:41] MasterShrek: it's a waste of time yes. Good if you want to waste time and want to learn alot about your system, sorta similar to linux from scratch [07:41] xristian: satellite tv is a service, ubuntu is just a collection of programs [07:41] MasterShrek: alot easier than linux from scratch though [07:41] MasterShrek: promise im banned, but the best thing ubuntu do is a give them a world... as well goingon... i realy think in ubuntu terms as sudo is problem, my problem, but when hackers take own [07:42] Abu-Aadam, ive used gentoo in the past, i just got fed up with compile compile compile everything i wanted to install [07:42] anyone else find that arial looks really bad, making some webpages look quite poor? [07:42] yeah but there must be somethin we can do about it. dont u think [07:42] marko give it a rest please [07:42] yep [07:42] MasterShrek: Compiling things yourself has benefits. But the bad point is the time it takes. [07:42] I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 64 with integrated Realtek ALC889A from my GA-G33M-S2H motherboard for sound. When I play stuff in VLC the sound is choppy/skipping, other media players are fine and VLC was fine when I was running 32bit. Anyone had the same problem or knows the solution (if there is one)? [07:43] i know Abu-Aadam, i do compile some things here and there, im using slamd64 right now [07:43] MasterShrek: you should compile links to have graphical support that would be nice [07:43] marko Please. You're not being helpful to people that need assistance. Also you are not requiring assistance either it seems. If you are just feeling chatty please go to one of the offtopic channels. [07:43] has anyone ever installed a sorcery-based package/ports/portage manager beside/inside a Ubuntu system?

Not here. But I have not seen you there at all, only here being a nuisance. [07:46] 6.10 looks older...

[07:49] Abu-Aadam, thats one thing i dont liek about gentoo too, takes like 3 days to get it installed far enough to get a gui...well not 3 days, but it takes awhile [07:49] MasterShrek, And a very good internet connection :D [07:49] MasterShrek: 3 days with slow internet connection i'd say [07:49] heh yea [07:50] bandwidth affects some, but processor matters for compile [07:50] source packages also seem to be massive compared to the binaries [07:51] MasterShrek: When i'v got gentoo installed and kernel compiled will take about 5 hours to get gui, simple as emerge xorg-x11, emerge fluxbox, [07:51] MasterShrek: I'm getting gnome-light now myself [07:51] gnome...ick [07:51] MasterShrek: gentoo/freebsd is even worse than gentoo [07:51] MasterShrek: it's an unexplored frontier though [07:51] then why run such a beast?

[08:14] Amaranth, yea [08:15] towlie_: Well, as long as you don't expect lots of sudden power outages [08:15] towlie_: Without a journal you also have to make sure to always properly shutdown your system [08:15] alecwh: i don't know what you mean [08:15] Amaranth, if i manually unmount it then i should be ok right ? [08:15] Can anyone confirm this info is correct for helping secure gutsy.. http://www.itsecurity.com/features/ubuntu-secure-install-resource/ [08:15] ???????????/ [08:15] towlie_: or just shutdown properly instead of hitting the power button [08:15] lol [08:16] How can I get a list of file installed by openoffice. I am looking for some of the directories where it stores certain files, but don't know how to ask the package manager which files belongs to the package. [08:16] is there a difference ? [08:16] towlie_: but hfsplus writing only works if you disable journaling in the OS X Disk Utility [08:16] i have so meny clones no [08:16] ahh nm then [08:16] towlie_: doing a proper shutdown unmounts the partition [08:16] i know but if i do it manually its the same thing right ?

Try #php [08:17] where would i find the file to upload phpBB [08:17] alecwh: rapidsvn [08:18] Unix: probably on phpbb.com === Hit3k_ is now known as Hit3k [08:18] UnixCrewTeam: #phpbb [08:18] alecwh: ##php doesn't do random "how do I use this app" questions either [08:18] what does "traverse" mean? [08:19] in sense of file systems can [08:19] or smth like that [08:19] ? [08:19] How does one reposition shortcuts, etc on the top panel once they've been added? [08:19] Amaranth: Thanks for the suggestion on rapidsvn, and it would be a better place than here.

[08:19] i have some sort of bug when shutting down or closing session that hangs the computer. any ideas? [08:19] c1|freaky: traverse when talking about files would be to go through a directory and all of its subdirectories [08:19] right [08:20] ok [08:20] thank you :d [08:20] jeduan: become friends with the power button [08:20] jeduan: nvidia? [08:20] Velenoso: right click on them [08:20] towlie_: fdisk [08:20] ? [08:20] fdisk modifies partitions [08:20] it can set msdos labels too [08:20] how [08:20] but that's probably not what you want [08:20] Amaranth, thanks. I'm sorry, I'm new to this. [08:20] yeah, i do the power button, but it's fugly, because i have to fsck each powerup, i'm on an intel 855gm [08:20] no [08:21] jeduan: hrm, never heard of that one then [08:21] jeduan: it locks up on logout? are you using desktop effects?

I'm on ubuntu 7.10 and my card is a Gforce4 4200. I keep having the same problem where the desktop is larger sized than the monitor and it kinda "scrolls" at the edges when "twin view" is enabled. [08:22] Hi guys anychance of a helping hand please, total newb here having serious problems getting my head round ubuntu! [08:22] towlie sudo mount /dev/hdb /media/NAME [08:22] kodemage: That's not a compiz problem then [08:22] I can't believe there is no way to see which files a package installed. Or is there? [08:22] fifo_: dpkg -L [08:22] Amaranth: is it an X problem? [08:22] yeah that's called bad personality [08:23] fifo_: or look at the package properties in synaptic after you've installed it [08:23] kodemage: yeah [08:23] Amaranth: thanks [08:23] kodemage: well, either that or you're zooming in compiz [08:23] hey, i just installed a brand new webserver on my apache, and i want to duplicate my old components that installed on my php to the new one.. any idea how? [08:23] zippy: post you question [08:23] Thx wiz [08:23] kodemage: does it do it with metacity too? [08:23] amaranth: yeah, 7.10 just reinstalled. the computer hangs, cpu usage goes up (i know because of the vents) and alt+sysrq+reisub won't do any effect [08:23] no, I'm not zooming, I know how that works. (Although I thought the same too) [08:23] jeduan: ouch, see if it happens without compiz [08:23] Zippy111: it takes a while [08:23] where on the web can i find the Python string API? [08:23] gonna try [08:24] i googled, but am getting stuff like the Python/C API [08:24] ridge-meister: err, python.org [08:24] I don't have the foggiest idea what metacity is, besides the fact that I can edit to launch the gnome-launch-box [08:24] kodemage: metacity is "No Effects" [08:24] diveintopython is good as well [08:24] anyone know where i can read about ssh? [08:24] how do I join ubuntu-offtopic? [08:24] so does anyone know ?

[08:25] kodemage: in that case you must be zooming [08:25] towlie sudo mount /dev/hdb /media/NAME [08:25] although I had to modify my xconf.org by hand, the different automated editors always mess it up [08:25] kodemage: in Advanced Desktop Effects Settings disable Zoom and Enhanced Zoom (make sure they're unchecked) [08:26] Zippy111: what is the make and model? [08:26] Amaranth: I actually did that, nothing changeg [08:26] kodemage: In that case I guess try #compiz-fusion [08:26] towlie: you need to create a folder in /media that has the name you want e.g /media/windows - then unmount the partition and remount to the new folder [08:27] Amaranth: So, what if I am remembering incorrectly and it is a problem in Metacity? I don't have the problem now and I can't enable advanced effects. [08:27] kodemage: Now you're not making sense [08:27] sorry [08:27] dell wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-PCI Card [08:27] I asked in compiz-fusion, I'm waiting for a response.

I want the setup image to install on a PC, not the Live CD image [08:30] appye: What are you trying to do? [08:30] malikor: The Live CD is also an installer [08:31] malikor: On the desktop there is an 'Install' icon [08:31] malikor: the server edition is non gui [08:31] So I must boot from the CD into the GUI in order to install it?

[08:32] adaptec-installer keeps crashing on a Fujustsu Laptop - can i use another package manager like synaptic? [08:32] !alternate | malikor [08:32] malikor: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal [08:32] Amaranth: I am trying to get my power management working correctly. Here is a link to the question I asked in the forum if you want the full explanation: [08:32] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=618916 [08:33] Alright, thank you. I'll just use the Live CD so as not to mess anything up [08:33] !minimal [08:33] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

Basically, this laptop's power management events (lid close, automatic hibernation after specified interval, etc) does not work correctly until I close and reopen the lid once. Weird, but it is true.

[09:07] abhibera: We've done a lot of work to integrate compiz in 7.10, it's even enabled by default [09:07] akatsuki: You can run fluxbox in ubuntu, sure [09:07] ok thanks [09:07] diogofsr: It's gone, completely [09:07] Amaranth: works on 950 GMA? [09:07] do you use it amaranth? [09:07] fluxbox? [09:07] hi [09:07] akatsuki: No, I use compiz [09:07] hi............... [09:07] sadly the accelerated driver locks up the system [09:07] abhibera: It should work just fine [09:07] Amaranth: It is not "gone". I can still download it, compile, use, fork and etc... [09:07] ok [09:08] domor: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#NVidia_Driver will sort you out for the video card [09:08] I am on GUTSY guys [09:08] abhibera: With working Xv video playback too :) [09:08] :-) [09:08] amaranth.. compiz is just an accelerator is not actually you can use it in kde, gnome, fluxbox, etc [09:08] maybe you dont know what is fluxbox? [09:08] heh [09:08] !gutsy [09:08] Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) is the latest version of Ubuntu. Upgrading to Gutsy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades - Downloading: http://www.ubuntu.com/download - New Features: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/710tour - Please use bittorrent to download if possible, see !torrents [09:08] anybody have any good sites / advice / help for setting up a Wireless 802.11g USB adapter? [09:08] Amaranth: But i know what you meant. Just been a little picking. ;-) === \etc\bin is now known as e1mer [09:08] akatsuki: you might also try fluxbuntu [09:08] hehe I dont think an nvida driver will help an ATI card [09:08] akatsuki: No, compiz is a window manager. Fluxbox is also a window manager. KDE and GNOME are desktop environments. Generally a window manager plus a dock and libraries and such [09:09] Raspberry: is it WG111v2 netgear adapter? [09:09] towlie_: do you have a /etc/fstab entry for the usb disks? [09:09] met sore.. [09:09] Raspberry: ubuntuforums.org [09:09] greencookie, yes [09:09] erUSUL, nope [09:09] for some reasons pidgin doesn't go as a icon on top panel and i have to retain it in bottom panel so as to be logged in. WHY? [09:09] akatsuki: You can use fluxbox in GNOME or KDE, for example [09:09] bazhang, been there -- nothing more recent than 2005 [09:09] !usb [09:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about usb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:09] user11_011: Did you click on the icon on the top panel? [09:09] i see.. iw as wrong then.. i think fluxbox was a window manager haha [09:10] but fluxbox then would look exactly the same if you use it with kde or gnome? [09:10] whenever I try to configure it the whole system hangs and I have to hard reset it [09:10] akubtuh temen [09:10] akatsuki: Fluxbox is a window manager. GNOME and KDE are a bunch of stuff that goes on top of a window manager [09:10] thats weird because i hear that fluxbox would make the computer a bit faster since is veyr simple [09:10] ere4si: ill havea look [09:10] Amaranth: i don't have any icon there. i customised and put a launcher icon there [09:10] k [09:10] greencookie, I can see that's it's detected and running as wlan0 [09:10] Raspberry: realtek/ralink what chipset [09:10] yes [09:11] Amaranth: when i launch it, in some machines a green button appears on top panel. i don't have it. [09:11] I looked it up in the ubuntu hardware support info -- and he's supposedly worked since Ubuntu 6 [09:11] towlie_: !!?? im puzzled dunno what can be causing this... it seems that hald is generatin buggus mount points or something [09:11] user11_011: Make sure you have a notification area applet on your panel [09:11] I wouldn't think I'd need to install ndiswrapper anymore [09:11] akatsuki: Well, fluxbox is a very feature rich window manager so you can use it without GNOME or KDE [09:12] Amaranth:how ? [09:12] akatsuki: metacity (GNOME wm), kwin (KDE wm), and compiz don't have a bunch of features so they aren't useful unless running with GNOME or KDE [09:12] ok but is going to be exactly the same.. whatever using fluxbox with kde or gnome? [09:12] akatsuki: You can use fluxbox without GNOME and KDE stuff [09:12] user11_011: Right click->Add to Panel [09:13] ok i understand [09:13] ubuntu is just gnome isnt? [09:13] Ubuntu uses GNOME, yes [09:13] ubuntu is just gnome [09:13] hai... [09:13] hai...... [09:13] TuxField: Not 'just', we add and change stuff [09:13] do u wanna fuck with me? [09:13] this seems to be my issue and I've tried the suggested fixes -- but nothing has worked short of installing ndiswrapper [09:13] http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-wireless-networking-41/netgear-wg111-v2-sees-router-doesnt-connect-598609/#post2956655 [09:13] does ubuntu come with any desktop search application?

[09:14] ere4si: thats only got a little paragraph i just won;t be able to restart like last time [09:14] _ruben: Easier to run sudo -s and get a root shell first [09:15] Amaranth which is better and faster? KDE OR GNOME? [09:15] there spanish here? [09:15] akatsuki: Dude, are you trying to start a war? :P [09:15] Amaranth, hmm it doesn't seem to be as good as google desktop on windows ^^ [09:15] Amaranth: thanks [09:15] it doesn't find my applications and it doesn find-as-I-type [09:15] no amaranth lol [09:15] akatsuki: That question has been asked since the dawn of time and the answer is "it depends" [09:15] <_ruben> Amaranth: hmm .. even tho i'm used to use 'su -', i was hoping i could stick with a clean 'sudo' approach (i kinda like the logging of commands issued when using sudo) [09:15] it depends on what? [09:15] TuxField: #ubuntu-es [09:15] amaranth: do you know how to properly install ffmpeg to do mp3? [09:15] akatsuki: What you like [09:16] it depends, but kde :} [09:16] neopsyche: It'll do mp3 encode/decode by default [09:16] fast and good perfomance [09:16] bazhang: You're in the wrong channel :P [09:16] yes, www.ubuntu-es.org, but i search irc spanish [09:16] thats what i like [09:16] and functionality [09:16] Amaranth: hehe just kidding [09:16] akatsuki: If you prefer functionality above all else you'd probably like KDE [09:16] ok, i look, thanks [09:17] amaranth.. I need to use ffmpeg for flv.. but on feisty ffmpeg doesnt come with decoding .. as far as i know.. .. i just installed gutsy two days ago.. is mp3 now open in gutsy? [09:17] akatsuki: But this is a discussion for #ubuntu-offtopic [09:17] neopsyche: Since ffmpeg is not installed by default it can do mp3 [09:17] <_ruben> Amaranth: but i thought was a (perhaps a bit tricky) way to have 'proper' output redirection when using sudo? [09:17] hmmm [09:17] Amaranth: "since the dawn of time" i remember quite well when neither kde or gnome existed in a usable form... (RedHat 5 with fvwm95 anyone?)

[09:22] VSpike: what are you trying to do? [09:22] Amaranth, do i? [09:22] neopsyche: xchat is only for IRC, there is no password [09:22] is any tramission over openssh-server connect secure?

[09:23] also.. i cant press tab to auto insert name of last user spoken to.. like on chatzilla... but chatzilla isnt external or modifyable as xchat [09:23] MrPocknix: Then you need to upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu [09:23] Amaranth: basically, just want to know as i use ssh from work [09:23] Amaranth: I want have my imap and smtp using ssl. Actually, they do but more by luck than judgement. But I get errors about untrusted certs and hostname mismatch everytime, so wanted to correct it...

[09:26] zimnyx: predownload what packages? [09:26] erUSUL: all that would be upgraded [09:26] what does it mean when the instructions says "Restart X..." X being the computer? what does the variable represent? [09:26] or at least when i changed 'feisty' to 'gutsy' in my /etc/apt/sources.list for medibuntu.org, it works great [09:26] Ich habe keine nglischkäntnisse leider. [09:26] zimnyx: it downloads all the packages [09:26] bluetoothmac: X is the display server, what draws graphics on your screen [09:27] dick this is an English language channel [09:27] bluetoothmac: to restart it logout then press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace [09:27] so just ctrl+alt+backspace?

[09:29] zimnyx: You can use it to do an upgrade although it only upgrades sutff in the default install, not extra packages you've installed [09:29] Amaranth: that's what i want! [09:29] dick: type /join #ubuntu-de [09:29] neopsyche: the medibuntu version will have a higher version number [09:29] ok. [09:29] ;-) [09:30] amaranth: theres only one listing of ffmpeg?

[09:38] kane77: if it's a disk you can use hdparm [09:38] kane77: sudo hdparm -t /dev/sd [09:38] MrPocknix, you can, but only one version at a time... so it'd be better to reinstgall [09:38] MrPocknix: From that old of an install it would take probably 2 days to upgrade [09:38] pah [09:38] /join #elisa [09:38] no biggie [09:38] MrPocknix: It'd be faster to download and install the new version [09:38] CAn i still download XMMS?

[10:06] sayanora818181: vista is on external ubuntu to install on internal or external? [10:07] With VirtualBox, can I run for example mIRC with it, and still access the linux desktop? [10:07] All 3 hard drives are internal, inside the computer [10:07] akatsuki: theres great wifi supportin ubuntu, you don't have to edit any text files even [10:07] akatsuki: and no need to install any firmware [10:07] But, does "unknown" mean the drive is empty of data? [10:07] sayanora818181: and you know which one is the vista drive? [10:07] is not supporting mine [10:07] Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI [10:07] this is mine [10:08] I know it is likely the one on the top there [10:08] sayanora818181: all backed up ie your important data? [10:08] whats a python C api mismatch mean? [10:08] Yes to the drive on the bottom [10:08] I want to install ubuntu on a drive I reformatted to make blank [10:09] I think it is the center one [10:09] fuuuu [10:09] Hi, Gutsy Gibbon just arrived at my mailbox, I was wondering if can update my Feisty with the cd? [10:09] sure [10:09] hallo? [10:09] i have big problems with ndiswrapper... [10:09] Oh yes, I think the top one is vista, since it uses a little over 70GB... [10:10] But just to be absolutely sure, does "Unknown" mean the drive is empty? [10:10] sayanora818181: are you certain? I'd hate to give you info based on uncertainty [10:10] Go ahead and give me some info [10:10] Anybody can help me? [10:11] Damjan, you can upgrade only with the alternate cd, not live cd [10:11] i have Atlanti usb adaptr... but work only with win driver. I have to try with ndiswrapper but don't work :-( Did "invalid driver" [10:11] But uh, what happens after you select "Edit partition"? [10:11] Damjan: yes - most times when you put a newer version cd in the OS qwill ask if you want to use it as a source [10:12] *will [10:12] puttana troia..... c'e' nessunitaliano qui? [10:12] ere4si: Do it going to upgrade to Gutsy? [10:12] Does it do something to the drive instantly, or does it just bring up a menu of options [10:12] ere4si, you cannot update feisty with a gutsy live cd [10:13] What if I mount the squash image from the cd? [10:13] can you change copy paste shortcuts? [10:13] Damjan: buttercups thinks not [10:13] sorry i should google before i come and ask here. [10:13] I have Gutsy. Can someone help me get beryl on this thing? [10:13] :/ [10:13] http://google.com/linux is more helpfull? [10:14] sayanora818181: does the installer do something? It can sense another install if that is your question--the chances of *ruining* your vista install are negligible but again this is not guaranteed thus the need to back up [10:15] Hello, everybody! [10:15] Hi [10:15] What's the best file system for Ubuntu? [10:15] bluetoothmac: not really--I found regular google to be more helpful [10:15] Damjan: can't you upgrade over the net? [10:15] sayanora818181: probably ext3 [10:16] k thanks bazhang [10:16] Abu, will ext3 still work with Windows? [10:16] As in I can look at it [10:16] sayanora818181: no [10:16] Or it will work with Grub or whatever [10:16] sayanora818181: grub should let you boot windows + ubuntu [10:16] i tried this http://goinggnu.wordpress.com/2007/02/13/convert-avi-to-3gp-using-ffmpeg/ [10:16] Awesome [10:16] ext3 it is :D [10:17] but geta error [10:17] sayanora818181: i'm using UFS myself with freebsd kernel and gentoo portage [10:17] cool_: there is #ffmpeg [10:17] ere4si: I can, but I wan't to try different, for the future, cause someday I will not have internet connection, get it? [10:17] Oh abu, does "unknown" under the "Used" area in the prepare partitions menu mean the drive is empty of data?

[10:57] _Garbage_: noone will help you :p [10:57] * NineTeen67Comet polite people generally receive assistance sooner than those being rude .. [10:57] <_Garbage_> why cool ? [10:57] :S [10:57] <_Garbage_> can I ask my question ? [10:57] lol [10:57] _Garbage_: i was joking [10:58] <_Garbage_> cool cool !! :D [10:58] hehe [10:58] _Garbage_: generally speaking, resolution is given out via the horz/vert resolution settings in your xorg.conf file .. You can't set it to an arbitrary setting like you can in MS OS .. [10:58] Hello? [10:58] sayanora818181: what happened? [10:58] <_Garbage_> I have HP Laptop with nVidia GForce 7150 [10:59] How much of a swap partition should I make cool? [10:59] <_Garbage_> I installed Ubuntu 7.10 on that [10:59] _Garbage_: should get something like 1280X800 on that I think .. [10:59] I have 4GB of memory [10:59] * NineTeen67Comet if you've tossed the nvidia-glx-new driver on there.. [10:59] <_Garbage_> by default it took VESA [10:59] sayanora818181: are you installing 64bit or 32bit version? [10:59] How can I tell? [10:59] Did you let Synaptic install your nvidia driver? [10:59] <_Garbage_> I installed nVidia latest drivers [11:00] * NineTeen67Comet or the restricted drivers utility? [11:00] sayanora818181: from where you got cd? [11:00] Online [11:00] sayanora818181, The conventional wisdom used to be 2X your RAM, but that is far from neccisary now, I'd go with 1 GIG, but the truth is that you will probably never even touch swap [11:00] <_Garbage_> but now the problem is that, after installing latest drivers, I can't increase resolution more than 800x600 :( [11:00] sayanora818181: you dowloaded it? [11:00] yes [11:00] hello...i need help to set screen light on my acer aspire 9302... [11:00] sayanora818181: then check the filename of iso [11:00] from here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [11:01] _Garbage_: have you looked at your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to make sure it has nvidia instead of VESA or nv? [11:01] <_Garbage_> it's nVidia there [11:01] good morning all, i have the latest ubuntu running on a d830, nvidia twinview with 2 desktops, all looks great apart from i have no window "borders" on the second display [11:01] Or pop open a term and type: sudo nvidia-settings [11:01] 7.10 desktop edition, standard personal computer option [11:01] <_Garbage_> I can use compiz-fusion too [11:01] sayanora818181: 64bit will have a name like this ubuntu-7.10-desktop-amd64.iso [11:01] No [11:01] sayanora818181, Then you are using 32 bit [11:01] I have the 32 bit version then I suppose [11:01] _Garbage_: give the nvidia-settings tool a shot .. it usually has some gui stuff you can play with .. [11:02] SO what should the memory swap partition be (in size)? [11:02] sayanora818181: use 64bit version [11:02] Quick somebody please, Compiz just crashed how can I restart it? [11:02] Sayanara, no :| [11:02] can someone help me? [11:02] *cool, no [11:02] I've got stuff open I need, and it's all messed up :s [11:02] sayanora818181, I'd say 256 Meg- 1 GIG, but it really doesn't matter much. [11:02] I want to use another partition as a home directory, is changing the mountlocation in /etc/fstab enough? [11:02] sayanora818181: 32bit can't map so much of memory, so some of your ram will get wasted [11:02] I know [11:02] Same with my 32 bit Vista [11:03] * Thecks_ has got it, no worries [11:03] sayanora818181: in 32 you can install upto 3gb of ram [11:03] NExt time will be 64 bit, but I have 32 now so let's work with 32 bit [11:03] sayanora818181: ok [11:03] :) [11:03] <_Garbage_> I got !!! :) [11:03] _Garbage_: did the nvidia-settings hook you up? [11:03] <_Garbage_> sudo nvidia-settings worked !!! [11:04] cool .. [11:04] <_Garbage_> cool !!! [11:04] <_Garbage_> but fonts are NOT looking cool :( [11:04] So, a 1 GB memory swap partition? [11:04] sayanora818181: if you want support for more than 3 GB Ram on 32-bit linux, you have to compile the kernel yourself ( i think) [11:04] Once nvidia-settings came out my running multiple monitors became a lot less painful. . ;) [11:04] NielsE, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [11:04] sayanora818181: yes [11:04] k [11:04] Does the livecd include restricted drivers now? i.e. will my wireless work? [11:04] erudified, Yes [11:04] _Garbage_: what? [11:04] that owns faces. [11:05] Should the partition be primary or logical? [11:05] <_Garbage_> I got the solution COOL. So I said Koooool... ;) [11:05] And should it be beginning or end? === sybarite1 is now known as sybariten [11:05] how do I retrieve the UUID from sda9? [11:05] And what should the mount point be? [11:05] Has anyone got a suggestion to correct my failing wireless? Every reboot requires a little /etc/init.d/networking restart .. before I'm up again .. (On two Gutsy boxes) [11:05] sayanora818181: primary so you can boot from it [11:05] k [11:05] sayanora818181: however swap can be logical [11:05] primary begginning / [11:06] This is swap [11:06] sayanora818181, doesn't matter, end, and there is no mount point for swap ( wait, are you still talking about swap ? ) [11:06] So set it to logical? [11:06] Yes, swap [11:06] sayanora818181: as you wish [11:06] k [11:06] <_Garbage_> thanks all.... [11:06] sayanora818181: swap's probably better at the start of the drive, so that access times are less [11:06] roses are red, violets are blue, i think flash freezes up mozilla, what should i do!? [11:06] k howling :) [11:06] _Garbage_: so thats all for today? [11:06] does anyone know how I get the uuid from my sda9 partition? [11:07] frozeneskimo, Complain to Adobe [11:07] frozeneskimo: nice poem :;p [11:07] It now has a swap partition. Now what? [11:07] cool, :) [11:07] Arrrrgh the Dell 1390 doesn't work in Linux [11:07] nah i'm sure it's a common problem, i'll just look it up [11:07] <_Garbage_> nah cool [11:07] Does f-spot need some kind of ports to be opened in order to upload pics to picasa? [11:07] Should next partition be Primary, at the end, ext3? [11:07] <_Garbage_> I'm here [11:08] I'm asking because it's awfully slow [11:08] frozeneskimo, The flash plugin for Linux is just buggy, gnash might be a good alternative in the future but isn't really there yet [11:08] sayanora818181: now you have to decide on the rest of the partitions. i'd recommend one partition for the software and one partition for your files, so you can update the operating system at a later date [11:08] ommand "vol_group" or "blkid" will show uuid. [11:08] Jordan_U, ah ok [11:08] install the flash plugin frozeneskimo [11:08] sayanora818181: next partition primary, just after the swap partition and 40GB will be easily enough [11:08] sayanora818181: and make it ext3 :) [11:08] k [11:08] What about the 3rd partiton? [11:09] sayanora818181: the second partition mountpoint: / [11:09] NielsE: command "vol_group" or "blkid" will show uuid. [11:09] Is 2.6.22 in the 7.10 install CDs? [11:09] sayanora818181: the third partition just takes the rest of the space and is probably best mounted at /home [11:09] erudified, Yes [11:09] k [11:09] any idea why my firefox refuses to refresh pagest after x amount of "visits", as in, I open an url, hit refresh, it "thinks" it refreshes, but the content doesn't update, I click a link, url changes, content doesn't, this is with kubuntu and apt-get installed firefox 2.0.0.8 [11:10] Jordan_U, you rock! [11:10] There are no options for mount point! [11:10] sayanora818181, Make sure you have chosen a file system rather than swap [11:10] It's ext3 [11:10] sayanora818181: check again properply, else you are looking in wrong place [11:10] back in a bit .. [11:11] yay, filed my first ubuntu bug. [11:11] * NineTeen67Comet wonder if I'll have to restart my wireless when I finish updating the pathces .. sigh [11:11] will see how long it will take to 'this is not a bug' [11:11] :) [11:11] domas, What's the bug ? :) [11:11] #164484 [11:12] It's not allowing me to select mounting point!!!!! [11:12] !164484 [11:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about 164484 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:12] sayanora818181, Please post a screenshot [11:12] sayanora818181: for which partition? [11:12] howling, any [11:12] oh nvm [11:12] Now it is :S [11:12] argh, bcm43xx supports my card but 7.10 doesn't out of the box =( [11:13] Jordan_U_: had a very funny debugging session now - starting with appserver issuing 500's, finding misbehaving updatedb/find, mtab problems, locating source of mtab problems, .. [11:13] how do I get the uuid from a partition? [11:13] maybe should reproduce and file mtab bug too [11:13] !uuid | NielsE [11:13] NielsE: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [11:13] NielsE: But, it really isn't needed to add UUID, you can just use the device name. But, using UUID can actually be good sometimes. [11:13] And, BTW you need blktool for blkid command [11:14] ok thanks :) [11:14] Alright... [11:14] Here comes the final result... is this all done correct? [11:14] http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/4929/screenshot2fs4.png [11:14] erudified, All you need is the firmware ( which Ubuntu can't legally include by default ) [11:14] Yeah - it's a shame, really [11:15] sayanora818181: go ahead! [11:15] Awesome! [11:15] Here goes nutin' [11:15] sayanora818181: i'm not sure about the order of the partitions on the drive. is the 40GB partition infront of the larger one?

[12:25] kbrooks: That was my next questioin. [12:25] hy there I have e question .. where I can download Ubuntu 7.10 for PPC ? I have an' iBook G3 DUAL USB [12:25] clouse, so you want to put the image to use in exactly the same computer. [12:26] MrLinux, it's highly likely that 7.10 will not work on that (even if there is a PPC version) [12:26] kbrooks: Sure, I will need that kind of back ability in the future. [12:27] kbrooks ok .. but 7.04 works ? [12:27] hi [12:27] MrLinux, i'm not saying it won't work. [12:27] MrLinux, give it a try, by all means. but ibook g3 is old. [12:27] kbrooks I have the Ubuntu 7.04 LIVE CD works just fine.. but .. my screen is duble .. why ? === ArabEyes is now known as mohammed [12:28] MrLinux, duble?

[12:29] kbrooks: Why did it freeze completely then? [12:29] kazol , see the process which r running , and search the one that takes too much recources [12:29] kazol, you can use alt+sysrq+k to close applications forcefully if it doesn't seem to respond to kb or mouse commands. [12:29] mohammed, he couldnt. [12:30] kbrooks: But what I am setting out to learn is how to set an install with all the options the way I want them, such as the correct dictionary in writer and other thing like that. Is this possible? And if so where do I start? [12:30] kazol, that keyboard command is caught first and dealt with, not passed down to programs [12:30] mohammed, kbrooks: It froze *completely*-the clock wasn't even updating and I could not change the screen at all. [12:32] clouse, umm, let me get this straight. you want to do something like install programs while you are installing ubuntu, configure them etc?

[12:36] How do I access samba shares in Gnome.

[12:37] Taranis, if you install a package you can do dpkg -L name to see the installed files [12:38] I meant Tarkus_ [12:38] clouse, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [12:38] kbrooks: So the hardware will be mainly the same but with slight variations. [12:38] clouse, no need to worry about hardware. [12:38] kbrooks: Thankyou. [12:39] kbrooks: Really? You mean Ubuntu adapts? [12:39] kbrooks: So that command will work even when the computer is completely frozen and unresponsive?

[13:28] Brother-OoN: why ar eyou doing "update-flashplugin" [13:28] ikonia: i can set up nvidia as a clone but it crops the image on my notebook, i want it to stretch instead of crop. [13:28] Tidus: it doesn't work [13:29] Tidus: for the majority of situations [13:29] because mozilla firefox and others aplication need this plugin [13:29] Brother-OoN: you've already installed it [13:29] Brother-OoN: you don't need to "update" it [13:29] tich, what are you trying to do with the external monitor? clone? [13:29] Brother-OoN: installing it puts it on the latest version [13:29] Brother-OoN, it should work without updating.... I've never even heard of update-flashplugin, where does it come from? [13:29] Tidus: xinerama doesn't work with my nvidia card. [13:30] or you just attaching it for extra screen real-estate? [13:30] Is there anybody who can give me a hand installing a webcam please. [13:30] i meet from ubuntu forum [13:30] How do you see your CPU temp in Ubuntu? [13:30] Tidus: yes clone. but with the monitor being stretched instead of cropped. [13:30] whisper ikonia tes [13:30] cloning isn't possible with twinview. install nvidia-settings [13:30] Brother-OoN, well forget the update thing, it will work without... if we can't convince you otherwise then just wait until their site is up, nothing we can do about that [13:30] er... it's not possible with xinerama [13:31] Tidus: yes cloning is possible. [13:31] an odd thing I saw in feisty too - if you've been running compiz with electric sheep, and then you disable compiz, esheep gets corrupted and you get a garbage display from it [13:31] Anyone else seen that?

[13:31] Brother-OoN, I think I just summed it up [13:31] Brother-OoN: owhat is your question, you don't make any sense [13:31] normally, if you're cloning to an external monitor, you'd be using the lappy with the lid shut with an external kb/mouse too [13:32] DiegoCC: Modes "800x600@60" "1024x768@60" "800x600@56" "640x480@60" [13:32] astro76, maybe i should have had compiz going when i showed him gutsy. he just didn't believe me when i told him i have ran antivirus software since '97 :) [13:32] astro76, err, have NOT [13:32] how to install flash plugin using terminal? [13:32] Brother-OoN: you've already installed it [13:32] Tidus: i would settle for that. do you mean that my monitor would be blank and all video output would go to the external?

[13:34] to clone to external display and just use the computer with the lid shut? [13:34] sybariten, you have to upgrade from dapper > edgy > feisty > gutsy... you should just reinstall [13:34] Tidus: yes. [13:34] sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [13:34] flash is buggy enough. gnash is unbearable. [13:35] Brother-OoN well done, its done [13:35] tich, simple. attach external keyboard/mouse to available usb ports. attach monitor to computer. set up cloning. shut lid [13:35] astro76: holy crap [13:35] Abu-Aadam, to install java including browser plugin, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin [13:35] okay. that does sound simple. thanks.

[13:36] i use adobe's version of flash9 on ubuntu all the time [13:37] sybariten, in actuality its quite easy to just do a clean reinstall [13:37] Tidus: its fine, I agree [13:37] the linux action show guys said gutsy 64 bit is ready for prime time. you guys echo that? my wife's laptop is running feisty and i'm going to upgrade it to gutsy. should i go for 64bit? [13:37] WaltzingAlong: Also do you know of a PDF printer to install on Ubuntu? [13:37] Tidus, as do i. [13:37] larson9999: don't use 64bit unless you have a reason to [13:37] where do i find adobe flas for powerpc linux?? [13:37] larson9999, you'll have to jump through hoops for some 32bit only software... for example java, flash, wine [13:37] clouse: is there not one already? it seemed one came installed with cups [13:37] powerpc linux... didn't mention that one. [13:38] i'm not doing anything [13:38] that one's not available. [13:38] waltzingalong: thanks. is there a commandline version as well?

[13:38] xipietotec: well... its a headless box so i was just playing with the idea of doing an upgrade now while i'm at work [13:38] ikonia, the reason i'd use it is they say that works find now with gutsy. said ff and all just worked good. were they leaving out the nasty bits? [13:38] how can I have it be enabled by default? [13:39] larson9999 no not at all, but 64bit in linux computing is handled differently than windows so using 32bit apps which are key things such as flash, for the average desktop user is a real pain and hasle and won't work as well for the average user [13:39] WaltzingAlong: Is cups install on the default 7.10 install? [13:39] sybariten, going from dapper to feisty in one shot is probably going to cause breakage, especially if you use 3rd party repositories. [13:39] Is it possible to maken an scp connection in nautilus just for once, so not by using 'Connect to server' but a more direct method? [13:39] larson9999: hence why if you don't have a need for 64bit computing, don't use it yet on linux [13:39] i just used this command sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [13:39] Brother-OoN: that command does not connect you to macromedia.com [13:39] s/feisty/gutsy [13:40] clouse: should be. i primarily use kubuntu/kde so i noticed there is already the pdf printer in the kprint dialog [13:40] * xipietotec has successfully upgraded a system from dapper to gutsy, however, this was not done all at once, but rather incrimentally. hence breakage issues were encountered at a manageable pace.

[13:40] clouse, did you completely miss my answer before ? [13:40] i don't understand [13:41] clouse, 7.10 should have it set up already (maybe unless you upgraded).... but just install cups-pdf, go to system > admin >printing, and you can add a pdf printer [13:41] Brother-OoN: that does not happen when you use apt-get [13:41] Brother-OoN: show me the real command your using [13:41] anyone help with FFMPEG? [13:41] ikonia, yeah, i know all of that. i'm not a noob. i've been using linux for 10 years. i tried 64bit a while back and all you said seemed true then. but the linux action show guy said he said flash, etc worked out of the box with gutsy. said 64bit was finally ready. have you tried it with gutsy?

[13:47] ikonia do you have the alternate link to install flashplugin? [13:47] Kalamansi, aptitude install openssh-server [13:47] How/where do I paste this? ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-pp --enable-libvorbis --enable-libogg --enable-liba52 --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libfaad --enable-libfaac [13:47] btw, why wine isnt updated in repository? [13:47] neopsyche, pastebin.com [13:47] Ubuntu_Rocks, OT! [13:48] well, my mp3 player can play smv videos and the only converter i can find only works in windows. but it's such a small screen i couldn't watch it anyway [13:48] er... ok.. if people are resorting to bots to try to promote their system... then that probably means they are losing. [13:48] dor0: grab it from winehq. ? [13:48] hey guys is it typically possible to change Input Method while an application is running? Say change from a Japanese input method to a Hindi one?

[13:48] siflidhap, ok, but is SAFE? i mean.. i come from windows... [13:49] Good point. [13:49] neopsyche, i'm afraid i'm misunderstanding the question... [13:49] you asked where to paste that [13:49] Tidus: I have this problem and am trying to fix it: http://www.programmingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=31096 [13:49] dor0: you could just use the wine in the repos from ubuntu. perhaps though there is some specific issue that is fixed in a newer version in which case you could add the repos from winehq [13:50] dor0: and yes it does make sense to add repos only from sources you trust [13:50] Tidus : done..i cannot login to my ip add... [13:50] don't blink now, but wine just dropped another release :) [13:50] Kalamansi, look in your router's configuration manual for port forwarding [13:50] larson9999, *blink* === thenewbie is now known as theelbermungster [13:51] hi guys, i have a printer compat problem, can you help?

[13:52] i'm unsure of the proper debian/ubuntu way of building a source package [13:52] hey [13:52] i habe problemem with samba [13:52] dor0: the one in the ubuntu gutsy repositories will not be a new feature featureful version ,just security fixes (if wine is even one of the officially supported ones) [13:52] i could do it by hand, but i'd get lynched for doing it the ugly way [13:53] i have shared 2 directorys but the smb client see it as a printer [13:53] anybody care to take over ethat one?

When i try to open mp3 file, my window gets hang. Im using Ubuntu 7.10 [14:22] !mp3 | k1dugar [14:22] k1dugar: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [14:22] Jack_Sparrow, i dont have a line in fstab to /dev/sdb ...maybe if i add ?

Thats the 'Hard' Part i was talking about... I am really REALLY struggling with this.. if ubuntu intends to be a user friendly system.. why dont they simply offer a deb with these features already available to help out windows users with little to no experience who are migrating due to microshafts $hitty Vista distribution. [14:22] ubotu: Ok [14:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about ok - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:23] IgorSobreira: go to term and type sudo fdisk -l last letter is L [14:23] neopsyche: why the deb may even exist in mediubuntu [14:23] if you put the alternate install cd in, ubuntu its self should recognise it as a package cd and offer to upgrade from it. [14:23] neopsyche: but i just used this tutorial http://po-ru.com/diary/bleeding-edge-ffmpeg-on-ubuntu-feisty/ [14:23] usser: i already added the medibuntu repo.. and it doesnt seem to work.. i still get no sound on conversion.. [14:24] brobostigon: ok i would do that sir. thanks for the help. [14:24] usser: have you got ffmpeg working? I found this guide but it is WAY advanced and i just want a program that i can get on .deb that will do the job.. without any major configuration .. such as riva encoder for windows. [14:25] Jack_Sparrow, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45465/ [14:25] neopsyche: there are some things that can not be included... [14:25] neopsyche i don't why you say it's broken, just to find out i tried ffmeg -i file.avi file.flv and it worked perfectly [14:25] neopsyche: no i never had the need to but it should have full functionality once compile from svn [14:25] hey, does anybody know a software with which I can parse a text file and extract all Chinese characters and put them in single lines (ie one character per line) [14:25] in a new text file [14:25] usser: can you convert flv with sound? [14:25] and it is the "easy deb" one [14:25] neopsyche: nope [14:26] neopsyche: alright hang on im gonna compile the darn thing [14:26] neopsyche: do u have amd64 by any chance? [14:26] Is Gusty a recommended start for newbies? I personally am having a few problems installing some things (most notably now is kiba dock) but see that feisty has a lot of packages and stuff for it. [14:26] how can I resize my partition with gparted [14:26] usser: I am using core Duo (intel) [14:27] Abu-Aadam, my recommendation is to boot from the gparted live cd and then resize it. [14:28] usser: you are going to compile it? [14:28] IgorSobreira: What kind of player is that? [14:28] Abu-Aadam: I agree with larson9999 [14:28] neopsyche: yea but the deb i'll get will be amd64 dunno if that will work with core duo [14:28] usser: it shouldnt be hardware dependent should it? [14:29] if it's a standard core duo then an amd64 deb won't work [14:29] since the c1d didn't support EM64T === kei_ is now known as kei- [14:29] sorry to be off topic, but happy thanksgiving, everyone [14:29] U 2 [14:29] usser, are you using the 64-bit version of ubuntu? [14:29] larson9999: gparted live cd? do u mean ubuntu live cd [14:29] well, if you celebrate it [14:30] Abu-Aadam: No [14:30] have fun picard_pwns_kirk [14:30] Abu-Aadam, nope, i mean gparted live cd [14:30] neopsyche: Tidus: yes 64 bit dunno if EMT64 is different from adm64 though [14:30] Abu-Aadam: No there is a gparted livecd... very nice work [14:30] EM64T and AMD64 are the same in terms of code capability [14:30] usser: im using a 32bit version of ubuntu [14:30] (i think) [14:30] picard_pwns_kirk: are you a trekkie??

[14:44] robotoworks: I see bad things heading your way... XP is much better [14:44] robotoworks:: have you read up on Vista and its massive level of broken state of ill repair? [14:44] Trae: in ccsm set the general preferences section horizontal virtual desktops to what you will [14:44] bazhang, how does one access ccsm? [14:44] vista is adjar.

[14:45] My dad has Vista Home premium on hos desktop [14:45] neopsyche: yea right, just uninstall ffmpeg, dont touch other ffmpeg related packages === P is now known as mikl [14:45] But he doesnt let me touch his computer [14:45] robotoworks: We dont care if your Dad likes Vista. This is the Ubuntu help room.. [14:45] oops if you don't have it then sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager compiz Trae [14:45] bazhang, I'm not seeing how to get to a "settings" [14:45] I'm having some problems getting a lot of different programs to work under Gutsy, when I find that there are options for Feisty, is it worth it to me to downgrade? [14:45] bazhang, lol ok sec [14:45] neopsyche: sudo dpkg -r ffmpeg [14:46] Hi all anybody around who knows how to configure a web cam please. [14:46] I said that because it ties it with what Im saying [14:46] distatica: create a second partition and have both feisty and gutsy [14:46] So will that tutorial work? [14:46] Jack_Sparrow: : I already dual boot with win, is it really that worth it? [14:46] robotoworks: we gave our opinion [14:46] anyone know how to get the resolution to 1600x1200? [14:46] its not giving me the option [14:46] bazhang, cool! [14:46] I have Gusty installed right now, it's not bad, but there's a lot of fixes for things that seem to only apply to Feisty. [14:47] Trae: you got it? [14:47] distatica: I dual XP and Feisty and Dapper [14:47] robotoworks:: i've heard very bad things if you have Ubuntu installed first.. windows acts retarded about the MBR [14:47] whats the cmd that goes before gedit inorder to edit a conf file? [14:47] trying to get some mousetweaks to work. [14:47] usser: hang on im just on the phone... [14:47] bazhang, yah... how do I get focus follows mouse, in there too? [14:47] Jack_Sparrow:: wouldn't that be treboot? [14:47] or tri even [14:47] Hmm, then is there away to backup my Ubuntu files, and install Vista? [14:47] :) Tre correct [14:47] That's not dual boot, but ok. Still, I don't want to have 3 since I don't see much of a point. It's bad enough I have to have two, and that's simply because of weird hardware that doesn't have linux support built in (for now) [14:47] !bacjup [14:47] Trae: bunch of different plugins, likely in there--enjoy finding out :} [14:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about bacjup - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:48] !backup [14:48] There are many ways to back your system up.

[14:50] Why do you think Im a sucker for wanting Vista? [14:50] robotoworks:: you were abused as a child? [14:50] I just installed ubuntu onto one of my computers, and I've never used Ubuntu before. However, I have used Debian. Now, Ubuntu worked beautifully for a few days, but now I'm getting this error message everytime I logon. It says it has trouble starting the Gnome Settings Daemon, so all my settings are messed up. How can I diagnose this and fix it? [14:50] robotoworks: We told you, It is corp level Virus... [14:51] Okay then, what if I want another distro of Linux, what do you reccomend? [14:51] Debian. [14:51] robotoworks:: and don't bother getting Vista and WiFi working.. impossible [14:51] Well isnt Ubuntu Debian based? [14:51] Yes [14:51] Torrential: What all did you do as su or root?

[14:52] Jack_Sparrow: Nothing except install wine and Steam [14:52] just installed ubuntu on my macbook stayed up through the night trying to figure it out. [14:52] lol [14:52] bazhang: All my GNOME settings are lost because the GNOME settings daemon won't start for some reason. [14:52] lol @ bluetooth01 ive had many a nights like those :) [14:52] bluetooth01: there is a great bunch of info on that at ubuntu-tutorials.com [14:52] robotoworks:: hell, give vista a try.. let us know how bad you hate yourself when you finally get ubuntu back running [14:52] Torrential: Did you use the repos or another version [14:52] couldnt go to sleep knowing its not finished. thanks bazhang [14:53] bastid_raZor: cmon [14:53] I just installed Ubuntu 7.04 on my iBook G3 .. but the screen is still duble half .. [14:53] bazhang:: where are you going? [14:53] Jack_Sparrow: I used wine's repository for wine, to get the latest version. [14:53] I thought there was freedom to chose operating systems here. [14:53] You guys are way too, pro Linux [14:53] is there some one to response to my questions ? [14:53] Torrential: Thats where the problems start [14:53] i cant get the touchpad right click to work rrrrrg [14:53] Torrential: do you have the error message that accompanies this? [14:53] bazhang, man this tool is hard to figure out... :/ TONS of options, but none of them seem to be what I need. I just want to change window focus (from click to sloppy) and the # of desktops that show up on the pager. [14:53] bastid_raZor: ease up a bit [14:54] is there some one to response to my questions ? [14:54] Jack_Sparrow: I used winehq's repository for Ubuntu. I've used the winehq Debian repository on my Debian system without error. [14:54] !patience [14:54] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [14:54] bazhang: I'd have to reboot to get the error message again [14:54] or logoff and login [14:54] Jack_Sparrow, hehe [14:54] guys could you help me with my gutsty.. i was updating when i got a note that it could not download all repository indexes.. what should i do? [14:54] MrLinux: what is your question? [14:54] a4ndr3c I just installed Ubuntu 7.04 on my iBook G3 .. but the screen is still duble half .. [14:54] Does any one know an "openoffice" chan? [14:55] bluetooth01: fn:f12 is right click on my mac [14:55] a4ndr3c I entered the terminal and typed 'apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop' [14:55] Trae: not so bad once you figure out what you want to do--to enable compiz just hit alt-f2 and type compiz --replace [14:55] a4ndr3c now is the question , how do I get a new Ubuntu-Desktop ? [14:55] changed f12 to terminal... you mean function+f12? [14:55] Torrential: If it is a clean install and all you did was add wine from outside our repo.. that is where the problem started, regardless of how your last distor did [14:55] yep [14:55] you can right click on the desktop right. [14:56] MrLinux: ...why do u do that? [14:56] Jack_Sparrow: I did however install Nvidia's proprietary drivers. [14:56] yes [14:56] brobostigon PM? [14:56] usser: ok.. sorry man. Was on a phone call. [14:56] MrLinux: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [14:56] neopsyche: np [14:56] a4ndr3c4 , I just told you , my screen is half duble ... [14:56] Torrential: From outside the ub repo as well?

[14:56] ok [14:56] bazhang, ding ding. that got the pager working! [14:56] neopsyche: did u do that [14:57] neopsyche: sudo dpkg -r ffmpeg [14:57] bazhang, actually, all good mate ;) thanks bunches! [14:57] Trae: to get out of it same thing but metacity --replace [14:57] bazhang++ [14:57] Jack_Sparrow: What do you propose I do? Downgrade wine to Ubuntu repository's one? [14:57] Trae: no worries :} [14:57] MrLinux: ubuntu-desktop is a meta package with a lot of other packages [14:57] Torrential: a likely solution [14:57] usser: whats sudo dpkg -r ffmpeg? [14:57] Torrential: downgrading seldom works for me... [14:57] MrLinux: what happens when u do apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [14:57] Hmm. Any other route I could take without taking the "Windows" route of reinstall? [14:58] ok I will show it to you 2 seconds [14:58] err lol I thought it was... now the pager doesn't switch desktops, but it shows 6 of them. ;) lol [14:58] neopsyche: that removes ffmpeg [14:58] Torrential: Try the downgrade... but backup to a tar first [14:58] Ok, I'll try the downgrade. brb [14:58] hehe Trae may want to adjust that downwards :} [14:59] usser are you sure it is neccesary to remove ffmpeg prior? make install will overwrite the old binaries [14:59] What config file determines which colors does the ls command associate to certain types of files? [14:59] Fetenfetenn: well u're right its actually not [14:59] hi [14:59] !hi | DreamLiner [14:59] DreamLiner: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [15:00] neopsyche: hows it going? [15:00] usser: ok ffmpeg is being removed with synaptic. [15:00] People, people, people, once you get your base sytem installed and working.. Please make a full backup .. it isnt hard to do.. [15:00] usser: because your method said there are dependency problems.. [15:00] usser: i think its because of the WInFF gui that is connected to ffmpeg [15:01] i have a ubuntu gutsy on hp dv6000. suspend works fine, but when hibernating, a beautiful view of changing coloured lines appears on a screen and afterwards it freezes [15:01] neopsyche: yea thats probably that caused dep problem [15:01] stupid question .. for some reason my ubuntu box doesn't seem to have many man pages for low-level system calls .. is there some separate package I have to install to get these man pages? [15:01] how can this be fixed i e hibernate funcion would work? [15:01] (e.g., i have no man pages for 'utime', or 'lstat') [15:01] there it goes :) [15:01] DreamLiner: Is that a nvidia chipset? [15:02] yes [15:02] hello [15:02] My keyboard is acting up [15:02] I tried another keyboard and got the same results [15:02] I have to hold down the keys for 3 seconds for one to appear [15:02] but, this doesn't happen on the login screen [15:02] only once I'm logged in [15:02] why isnt this working for the right click? sudo sed -i~ 's/KP_Enter/Pointer_Button3, Pointer_Button2/' /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/keypad [15:02] ok so now its uninstalled [15:02] DreamLiner: Google up ubuntu, hibernate, there are some issues... [15:02] i cant get any right click feature to work... [15:02] usser .. its removed [15:02] quick question: how do i make Mplayer (terminal ver) play songs randomly? [15:02] neopsyche: right now follow the guide [15:02] !enter > jake: [15:02] neopsyche: do this first sudo apt-get build-dep ffmpeg [15:02] usser: ok.. that should enable flv encoding with sound right? [15:03] neopsyche: yes [15:03] !enter [15:03] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [15:03] dude..

"Note: This function is only available if PHP is compiled with the bundled version of the GD library." from php.net [15:09] Jack_Sparrow: I'm still getting used to the Ubuntu ways. A bit different than on distros I've sued in the past [15:09] neopsyche: still on the first step? [15:09] neopsyche: now trailer park boys is something else all together [15:10] jake: Yes, a little different. Just trying to protect users from themselves. The worst offenders are users from other distros.. It took me awhile to adjust [15:10] usser: yes .. alas I am stuck in africa where the banwidth is slow and expensive. [15:10] does anyone here use irssi? [15:10] *hehe no pun intended but it just happened ....

Strange, but I'm happy it's set now! [15:13] Torrential: Glad it worked, sorry for giving you a hard time [15:13] Haha, you didn't give me a hard time. [15:13] Torrential: But that had to be it [15:13] Yeah [15:13] Well, thanks again! I'm off.

[15:26] Vonage_Guy: You can mess up permissions which is a slippery slope [15:27] riotkittie: Just an example [15:27] guys, I have gutsy installed on my laptop (custom made) and I've been hit the last few hours with heavy trackerd cpu usage [15:27] uhm.

How do I go about getting that [15:28] I have an ISO and how do i burn it from Ubuntu [15:28] jake: ubuntu 7.10 [15:28] danny__: k3b [15:28] danny__: Okay. From Linux I recommend you burn the ISO using k3b [15:28] danny__: I don't know of the GNOME equivalent [15:28] gnomebaker? [15:29] Vonage_Guy: You can keep the folder above /home or set permissions to the folder itself.. [15:29] danny__, right click on the ISO, and you should get the option "open with CD/DVD creator" [15:29] danny__, in gnome, simply right-click on the iso and select write to disc. or use wodim in the console. or get brasero [15:29] ltsampros: in the menu, System>Preferences>Indexing Preferences [15:29] I need to run a script when a flash drive is mounted. What do I put in the mount options to do this? [15:29] bazhang: Last I tried Gnome Baker, it crashed whenever I started to burn a CD [15:29] Ok... I am assuming u do that by right clicking on the folder, would that be correct [15:29] bazhang: But this was with SUSE 9.3 [15:29] danny__: from linux environment I write click the iso and write to disk [15:29] Palomides: o thank you! [15:30] jake: Gnome Baker [15:30] jake: there is that chance--in gnome I generally use the cd/dvd creator method [15:30] np [15:30] Kirrus, zimon, Jack_Sparrow, thanks guys [15:30] ArthurArchnix: As I said, I used to have a lot of problems with Gnome Baker, so I haven't used it since [15:30] jake: just saw that. [15:31] ltsampros: I had the same issue; I just disabled the whole thing; I never search for files [15:31] Palomides: yeap that's a nice idea. although I find the idea sexy [15:31] the idea of searching my laptop's universe is sexy that was [15:31] jake: I second your motion for k3b :} === Thecks_ is now known as Thecks [15:32] Hi, I'm wondering how I can turn my monitor off while not running X. I'm using a laptop, so I don't have a power button for my monitor. I know that in X, you can use "xset dpms force off," but I'm running a server that doesn't use X on my laptop and I'd like to shut the display off [15:32] bazhang: right click then write to disk is easier and less likely to mess up [15:32] Jack_Sparrow: in gnome I agree--though k3b offers more options when going outside of iso burning [15:32] sbdy can tell me how can i make a network install for my PowerBookG4 (with burning a cd)? [15:33] bazhang: more options is great for someone with knowledge... but more of a problem for a novice [15:33] um, the dictionary applet doesn't work. is there any way to fix it? [15:33] bazhang: But I agree K3B is very nice [15:33] Jack_Sparrow: agreed--though the cd/dvd creator is very solid, eventually we want them to help here :} [15:33] Ok guys, I really appriciate the help... I will not switch side from "Vista" back to my "Ubuntu" and they your advise. If I run into any problems "I'll be back..."

[15:35] yep [15:35] robdig: the monitor backlight stays on [15:35] hi, i just noticed that in /var/log there are no old log files. logrotate runs every day and there don't seem to be older logfiles than from the current month. for cups accounting i would need older logfiles. is there anything running that deletes old log files ? [15:36] when I put my mouse in the corner of the screen it annoys me because the windows all appear in little windows [15:36] how i turn it off [15:36] Thomas: I don't know if you can do that; you can probably make an install disk using a USB flash drive, which I know can be done [15:36] neopsyche: u still compiling ffmpeg? [15:36] Thomas: as far as I know that is not possible--though ubuntu does run very nicely on that machine (I have one as well) [15:36] what do I have to do to run a script automatically when a flash drive is mounted?

[15:41] Thomas: you can try macports if you want to run open source stuff--but installing linux from within osx isn't possible [15:41] usser: should i kill the terminal download?

[15:53] neopsyche: nah those are fine its language pacakges or something [15:54] wait a moment..i don't understand.. [15:54] neopsyche: anyhow go to synaptic and try reinstalling ffmpeg [15:54] checking [15:54] i've downloaded [15:54] bullgard4, thats the color for 'links' use ls -l , to see that they are links [15:54] brianski: recovery mode and sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [15:54] Para93, you posted this: root@andrea-pc:/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic# patch -p1 -i bcm43xx-injection-linux-2.6.22.patch [15:54] neopsyche: it should warn u that u're installing from non-free repo [15:54] Jack_Sparrow: yes and no. I've tried it both ways - with 1 device and 2 devices on ide controller [15:54] the complete source of the kernel.. [15:54] Jack_Sparrow: yeah, i'm just saying that the oint of bulletproof X is that it's supposed to make things easier, not harder [15:54] just kvetching ;-) [15:54] usser: ok .. its taking ages to find ffmpeg [15:54] Para93, so you're in the header's directory ... not the sources [15:55] and after i've pasted the file of the patch in the kernel's directory [15:55] 23146 packages listed [15:55] Hi. I want to know if there's a DOS based and Xwindows based menu system for Ubuntu Feisty Server (witthout any add-ons) to change settings on the server. Sort of like YAST or YAST2 in SUSE [15:55] Dr_willis: Thank you very much for answering. Can you also tell me what the other colors mean that ls occasionally prints filenames with? [15:55] how can i go to the source directory? [15:55] usser: looks good .. This package is built with the "risky" option, to enable mp3/mp4/h264/amr [15:55] support. Therefore, it is in Medibuntu as it might violate patents. [15:55] Para93, what do have in /usr/src? [15:55] jdhanley: Next time you boot, look in cmos/bios for cdrom settings to make sure it isnt trying to emulate scsi or something [15:55] neopsyche: yep thats that do this for all 1d pacakges in the list as well [15:55] 2 directory [15:55] bullgard4, never actually noticed. :) i just look at what the file type is and then realize that green is executable, red is normally a bad link and so forth. [15:55] SaintRock: what do you mean by "DOS based and Xwindows based" ? [15:56] usser: ok [15:56] neopsyche: well first do ffmpeg alone so that u can check if flv works [15:56] jdhanley: Sorry to run, wife is up and time for family day to start... Good luck, and Happy Holidays to all. [15:56] neopsyche: and then those 1d [15:56] Para93, .. and which ones? [15:56] there is no dos on linux. if you mean the place where there is white text on a black screen, that's called the command line (CLI) [15:56] ok [15:56] RedBand: What is the output of "groups username" and replace username with yours [15:56] brianski, If you ever worked with SUSE, you'll know what I mean.. say I wanna change my network card settings. In YAST I do this with a text based menu system, ASCII, DOS or whatever you want to call it [15:56] brianski: dos on linux - dosbox :) [15:56] linux-headers-2.6.22-14 and linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic [15:56] Dr_willis: I see. But the pragmatic procedure is not satisfactory in all cases. [15:56] Para93, so you don't have the sources installed [15:57] in the last i've pasted the file of the patch [15:57] * usser loves dosbox [15:57] "me : me audio admin vboxusers" [15:57] impossible.. [15:57] bullgard4, check the ls man pages.. its proberly one of the most detailed man pages out. [15:57] SaintRock: ok, but don't call it DOS, it's inaccurate ;-) [15:57] how do i add multiple disk images into apt? [15:57] brianski, For instance aptitude would be text based. [15:57] #ubuntu.de [15:57] i've done apt-get source linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic [15:57] I think that would blow all the competion away If they were to create a linux version of it. [15:57] brianski, Ok, didn't mean to insult anyone lol. So do you got a menu system that's text based? [15:58] when i try to open a url using gnome-open i get the following error: "Error showing url: There was an error launching the default action command associated with this location." how can i fix this? [15:58] Installing virtualbox did mess up my permissions. I use pyschocat [15:58] 's tutorial to fix theme [15:58] I'm trying to set up a MOTD. I have a /etc/motd file and /etc/pam.d/ssh has the line 'session optional pam_motd.so'. However when I connect via SSH the motd doesn't show, any ideas? [15:58] Dr_willis: No, the ls man page is not the most detailed man page on earth. You are advising what I already have done before posting here. [15:59] SaintRock: there is one in xwindows - just look in "System->Administration" from gnome. from the command line you'll have to edit files and such [15:59] usser: setting up winff [15:59] bullgard4, whatever.. im not even clear on wht you are asking. dircolors shows/defines what colors are for what extensions. have fun. [15:59] are you here? [15:59] RedBand: I think that's your problem [15:59] brianski, There is NO GNOME. This is on server version,.. its all text based, there's no Xwindowed environentm installed... [15:59] Para93, so there must be a linux-sources-2.6.22-14.bz2 somewhere .. to be precise: in the directory where you did the apt-get [15:59] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvnQE1EAEZY how to get all the icons at bottom as shown in this video(as at 18 th sec)??I hav compiz-fusion on ubuntu 7.10 [15:59] Sharpie: which url ? [15:59] how can i run something when a drive is mounted automatically? [15:59] juano__: all of them >_> [16:00] ArthurArchnix: Any fix besides reinstalling? [16:00] Para93, maybe the archive is called slightly different .. i don't know [16:00] i must to do apt-get to a precise directory?? [16:00] RedBand: Go to >system>administration>usersandgroups click on your name, click properties click on user priv. [16:00] Para93, no, it downloads the sources to the current directory [16:00] anyone here can point me to a tutorial about alsa? i just read that the xfi notebook is just a better sb live 24bit and i dont have a clue about alsa.. it should be installed nearly like the creatrive audigy 2 and i cant find anythin [16:01] ArthurArchnix: And click 'use cd rom drives' right [16:01] quick question, does any vnc veiwer work with every vnc server? like if i have rvnc server installed can i access it with tightvnc? [16:01] RedBand: Make sure "acceess external" is checked, "adminster" connect" monitor" user audio" cdrom, modems and scanners... make sure all those are checked [16:01] i will download the sources when i'm in /usr/src ok? [16:01] * riotkittie cracks her knuckles and waits for a question she can answer [16:01] what file system is the FASTEST [16:02] THen say ok. [16:02] How can you change settings in Feisty SERVER with NO xwindows ? [16:02] change what settings? [16:02] hello [16:02] Para93, well, why don't you look for the archive you have already downloaded? [16:02] riotkittie, Any settings, say changing a network card IPs [16:02] SaintRock, with the terminal. and via editing the proper config files. [16:03] aptitude asks me to insert install disk, but i've left it at home, how can i avoid this phase if i have internet cnonection? [16:03] Dr_willis, So there's no text based menu where you have options like with Yast, correct ? [16:03] bluetooth01, in theory - yes. they should be backwards compatiable. [16:03] because i don't remember where i've downloaded... [16:03] hello: I want a program like itunes or winamp on my ubuntu system. Wich is the most grapical and best audio music system for ubuntu please [16:03] Para93, if you can't find it, locate is your friend. maybe you need to run updatedb before [16:03] Hi can anybody help me setup a webcam please. Ive already been through as much of the FAQ's and google search without success. [16:03] SaintRock: edit /etc/network/interfaces [16:03] yakov: delete cdrom: source from the sources.list [16:03] SaintRock, not that ive ever noticed. Been ages since ive used a non ubuntu disrto. so i forget what all yast and others can do. [16:03] thx usser ! [16:03] what is it? [16:03] yakov: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [16:03] atlfalcons866: ramfs should be fastest. But you may not like it. [16:03] Dr_willis, Ok, fair enough :) [16:03] open_99: is it a webcam that's supported under linux to any degree? [16:03] riotkittie, Ok.. thanks.. [16:03] hello: I want a program like itunes or winamp on my ubuntu system. Wich is the most grapical and best audio music system for ubuntu please [16:04] yeah ramfs is in memroy [16:04] I have a complected question: I want to install Ubu on a laptop, but the CD/DVD drive is broken. So I want to know if it is possible to ... say install Ubuntu while in Windoze? [16:04] SaintRock, you could use some webmin (or webmin like tools) i guess. :) [16:04] yakov: find lines that have cdrom in them and put # in front of them [16:04] yakov: then do sudo apt-get update [16:04] riotkittie: it doesn't say, its a cheap and nasty. [16:04] Para93, updatedb updates slocate's database .. and locate is what the name says .. it tells you where something is located [16:04] usser: ok.. im converting a video. [16:04] SpeCon: Use Amarok [16:04] SpeCon: if you want Winamp-eque, i'd suggest audacious [16:04] usser: did so! works like a charm. even w/o apt-get update.. [16:04] usser: just have to wait and see if it has sound :-) [16:04] . [16:04] amarok KrashTheMighty is this a good one? [16:04] I like it [16:04] SpeCon: xmms is also nice but is no longer being worked on, AFAIK [16:04] does anyone know how to turn off a laptop display without running x? [16:05] ArthurArchnix: Okay I did all that, and I still have the same problem. Should I log out or reboot? [16:05] atlfalcons866: There are some fs benchmark results at http://linuxgazette.net/122/TWDT.html#piszcz [16:05] riotkittie, i know but thats not nice to work with [16:05] amarok seems to be nice from the screenshots i see atm [16:05] SpeCon: Amarok is most like Itunes INO [16:05] IMO even [16:05] Sharpie: gnome-open [16:05] whats not nice to work with? [16:05] yes i can see that KrashTheMighty [16:05] I like it alot organise all my music with it [16:05] so i need a .DEB file ? [16:05] nobody here has a creative notebook soundcard? ;) [16:05] to install this [16:05] Sharpie: that gives you the error ? [16:05] try it out :) [16:05] on my desktop [16:06] juano__: if you don't know anything, don't try to help [16:06] usser: ok .. theres no sound .. perhaps i am putting perameters wrong into winff >. althought there is an option for flv.. and i did put 44.1 for the sample rate and 24kbps for the audio. [16:06] damae, i know you can set the blanking time in --> /etc/console-tools/config [16:06] I just installed using Synaptics [16:06] I have a complected question: I want to install Ubu on a laptop, but the CD/DVD drive is broken. So I want to know if it is possible to ... say install Ubuntu while in Windoze? [16:06] KrashTheMighty, okay so apt-get install amarok right [16:06] JFS is the fastest file system [16:06] neopsyche: its a medibuntu package for sure? [16:06] thanks Dr_willis, i'll look around in there [16:06] damae, i just cant rember a way to do it on demand. [16:06] redband, it might help. [16:06] neopsyche: try launching ffmpeg from terminal [16:06] ArthurArchnix: Okay [16:07] brb [16:07] hey [16:07] zooi [16:07] How do I get an Ubuntu project cloak? [16:07] neopsyche: cd [16:07] im having trouble with my sound [16:07] Theyain, theres several ways to get ubuntu installed.. if you have a spare machine. you could set it up for a netboot/install. [16:07] kay its working the apt-get blabla :) [16:07] neopsyche: ffmpeg -i filename filename.flv [16:07] usser: ffmpeg spits out a lot of stuff [16:07] neopsyche: see if this works [16:07] Theyain, then theres wubi (which i say avoid) and of course ya could just run linux in a virtual machine like virtualbox, or vmware [16:07] Dr_willis I had not thought of that [16:07] SpeCon: yes that should do it [16:07] usser: so cd /dir/ ffmpeg? [16:07] yep :) [16:07] Theyain, plus theres proerly otehr ways i dont rember [16:07] whats the terminal command to open the sound prefferances? [16:07] so ubuntu uses gnome standard ?

[16:08] neopsyche: just cd to where your files are located [16:08] sorry talking to my mom ... trying to organise thanksgiving :p [16:08] !install | Theyain [16:08] Theyain: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

Version 5:47 (gutsy), package size 7 kB, installed size 40 kB [16:09] neopsyche: so cd to where this sample video is located [16:09] Spec, one is the actual desktop. :) the other is just a few packages [16:09] !info kubuntu-desktop [16:09] kubuntu-desktop: Kubuntu desktop system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.59 (gutsy), package size 16 kB, installed size 44 kB [16:09] Dr_willis, so gnome is the best right? [16:09] not necessarily [16:09] for search the sources [16:09] KDE is more customizable [16:09] SpeCon, why would you think that? Gnome is a desktop.. kde is a desktop... use what you like.. or use them both. [16:10] lol ok [16:10] I tend to use KDE. [16:10] so how to switch from desktop when both installed? [16:10] on the laptop i use gnome mainly. [16:10] Hi how do I clear out the cached wireless connection info from nm-applet? [16:10] at the startup screen , [16:10] ?

[16:11] <[Ely]> Good morning everyone, I have a question, so far nobody has been able to answer it, I recently started trying Linux again (Ubuntu) there's this behavior I hate and would like to eliminate, when I open certain applications for example FIrefox it always positions itself on the upper top left of the screen whenever I open it, is there a way to disable this? I want the applications to remember the position where I open them. Thanks in advanc [16:11] <[Ely]> e! [16:11] neopsyche: ffmpeg -i filename filename.flv? [16:11] usser: after.. ffmpeg file file [16:11] Theyain, that !install wiki page [16:11] yes [16:11] MrPocknix: Perhaps "alsamixer" then ;-) [16:11] ;-0 [16:11] neopsyche: right [16:11] no dice [16:11] so to install KDE apt-get install kde ?

[16:32] nensondub: u sure ffmpeg is from medibuntu [16:32] No need for sudo with the 'apt-cache search' :) [16:32] neopsyche: u sure ffmpeg is from medibuntu [16:32] I always do... [16:32] yeah but if i have port forward i should need dmz do i ? [16:32] so I dont have to enter my password when I want to install the thing I found [16:33] SpeCon: you try out that program yet? [16:33] you only have to type it once per session [16:33] how do search for stuff with apt-get in terminal mode? [16:33] neopsyche: i dunno man do u have 1d packages even though they should have nothing to do with it [16:33] i have a server with some configuration failures and it isnt booting correctly, it stops at Begin: Waiting for root file system, how can i solve that? before it was on 2 discs and now it is on 1 disc, it did have raid1 (after rebooting i changed the grub loader before it could start) [16:33] lounge-about, apt-cache search ITEM [16:33] apt-cache search "string" [16:33] hai [16:33] AHHH [16:33] thankyou guys [16:33] Also...sometimes if its helpful to pipe that into less [16:33] because sometimes the results are really lon ng [16:34] how do you do that [16:34] or grep =D [16:34] thinh: thats correct but sometimes dmz cant be avoided for certain programs/services that dont work well with port forwarding [16:34] or grep and less :) [16:34] gangsta! [16:34] well...piping something is just a fancy way to say ... send the output of this to another program [16:34] what about remote desktop that is tunnel ssh port 22? [16:34] it uses the pipe character "|" [16:34] also known as a bar [16:34] so to "pipe something" [16:34] you would do [16:34] i am using nxclient i have problem to connect when i am outside my lan [16:35] ekim|linux, are you piping ekim to linux? [16:35] something | destination [16:35] usser:E: Malformed line 47 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) [16:35] E: The list of sources could not be read.

Women can't be in an ubuntu channel? [16:36] No...It is just kinda suprising [16:36] anyone else see partial update today [16:36] SpeCon: yeah I love it have used it for a long time ;) [16:36] * ekim|linux regrets not keeping his mouth shut [16:36] The world is changing get used to it. [16:36] before i get connection refuse and i could ping it now that i turn off respond to ping i connection timeout [16:36] I bet you are white too. [16:37] emma: You seem to be a pain in the ass :D [16:37] yeah... [16:37] so... [16:37] How can I view all dependencies of a package? [16:37] and i cant ping it [16:37] can we drop the women/race thing please. [16:37] Whatever...I was just being stupid [16:37] it needs sdb to boot and i only have sda [16:37] ekim|linux, are you American also? [16:37] . [16:37] Retarded even [16:37] thinh: if you turn off icmp you can't ping [16:37] Yes ... I am a stupid white american male [16:37] how can i fix that with the build in commands? [16:37] ekim|linux: emma can you please drop it, this is a support channel [16:37] ekim, emma, just drop it [16:37] Dr_willis, no its an nvidia card. I dont think its the video driver though.. [16:37] I am US_MALE. [16:37] so anyway [16:37] monokrome:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45474/ after editing [16:37] I love firefox [16:37] that is soo cooooool [16:37] firefox 3 is awesome [16:37] neopsyche: pastebin output of this command dpkg -l ffmpeg lame *1d [16:37] have you guys tried it yet [16:38] ekim|linux: this is a support channel, not a chat channel [16:38] * ekim|linux is such a moron... [16:38] yeah but it seems that shutdown all traffic into the lan that sits behind the router [16:38] ekim..does it work good [16:38] ekim|linux: is there a binary? [16:38] Hmm...yeah...I think there is a nightly [16:38] lemme check [16:38] usser: E: Couldn't find package avant-window-navigator this is the erro again [16:38] Dr_willis, do you have error in the syslog that says something like this .. GLib-CRITICAL: g_key_file_get_keys: assertion `key_file != NULL' failed ?? [16:38] ganeshhegde: did u do sudo apt-get update after editing sources.list [16:38] ganeshhegde: I thought it was saying it couldn't read the sources file? [16:38] do i have to mess with iptables to get to work [16:39] DShepherd, this was a few months ago. with my ati card. it was ati specific. Sinceyou aint using ati.. guess it dosent apply. :( sorry i cant help much more then that [16:39] thinh: you have disabled icmp yes/no [16:39] When restarting my Ubuntu 10 there will be loaded a certain application program. I don't like that. What directory should I inspect to eliminate its filename there? [16:39] on the router yes [16:39] Dr_willis, dont give up on me just yet =) [16:39] i dont know if that is icmp [16:39] thinh: ok - so thats why the router won't respond to ping [16:39] usser: http://pastebin.com/d20825380 [16:39] Is there any program in Linux that always sends an output to another program? [16:39] bullgard4: what probem [16:39] Dr_willis, what did you do to fix it? [16:39] program [16:39] icmp=ping [16:39] yeah but it should be respond to everything else [16:39] emma: can you expand on that please. [16:39] Dr_willis, i am still interested, it might give me a clue in fixing it [16:39] I think she wants to pipe... [16:39] i mean i have port forward to my router [16:40] thinh: depends on if your router is relaying packets [16:40] thinh: then yes, your client should repond to pinging an external to your router device [16:40] What will happen if you pipe A to B and B to A? [16:40] emma: can you give me an example [16:40] ls | less [16:40] aba [16:40] is this channel also about ubuntu dapper? or is there a dedicated channel for it? [16:40] rdz: ask away [16:40] Pipes ls's output out to less [16:41] i should be able to use ssh right [16:41] thinh: yes [16:41] ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/3.0b1-candidates/rc3/ [16:41] Question, how can I do an apt-get install to a CD ROM so I can burn it to the cd, and then transfer it to a computer right next to this one? [16:41] you end up with a recursive loop which eventually fails when max amount of recursing allowed in kernel is reached. i've done it [16:41] but i cant get to it [16:41] CapaH: no [16:41] DShepherd, i had to enable the 'force X server restart' feature.. but mine locked up after logging out of X. beofr that - there was an issue with the X driver. that would lockup with X and the Accelrated driver feature. Again this was mainly ATI/FGLRX specific bugs [16:41] !aptoncd | CapaH [16:41] CapaH: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [16:41] it doesnt respond to it [16:41] thinh: sounds like your router config is wrong [16:41] That was always a flaw in apt for me [16:41] hmm I just need it for one though [16:41] eg: a->b b->a [16:41] just one apt [16:41] you also couldn't say where your packages are installed [16:41] because when i am in my land it okey [16:41] genii: thats not an example, [16:42] CapaH, ah, you just wanna download the package? [16:42] usser: E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied) [16:42] E: Unable to lock the list directory [16:42] I think key is needed [16:42] ganeshhegde: use sudo [16:42] Hey, I am going to install ubuntu, but first, I need a good burning program for 64-bit vista. Any ideas? [16:42] neopsyche: aha [16:42] I was wondering if there is a way to use the piping so that you get a loop of outputs that never ends. [16:42] fgdiffsd: ask in ##windows [16:42] basically I need to get wireless to work for a computer next to this laptop --- the laptop built in wireless works great, the other computer is using a Belkin G wireless --- in order to get that to work I need to apt-get install ndiswrapper-common which of course will not work since it is not online :) [16:42] emma: that should be no problem cause the first A and the second A are tow instances of a program [16:42] ikonia: file 1: /execute/file2 file2: /execute/file 1 [16:42] emma: you can make a while loop [16:42] two, [16:42] DShepherd: basically [16:42] genii: yes [16:43] usser: uppercase bad? [16:43] fgdiffsd, check out 'burn at once' for windows. I think they just came out with vista support [16:43] neopsyche: ok u'll need mediubuntu's libavcodec1d [16:43] CapaH, aptitude download package # that should download the package in the current directory your using... [16:43] neopsyche: u have old one [16:43] usser: how can i obtain this miracle codec? [16:43] ;-D [16:43] :-D [16:43] CapaH, you can then put in on usb drive or cd and transport it [16:43] hi all. i am still on dapper and since a few weeks i got an issue with keyboard. sometimes the keyboard responfs sluggish and sometimes it prints several times the same character, even if i only hit the key quickly. i higly assume that it is software related, since i don't have the problem on windows on the same box. is that a know issue with Xorg? i heard at least from soneone else that this happens on ubunut gutsy as well.. [16:43] neopsyche: lol u have medibuntu installed right so just purge libavcodec1d and install it again [16:44] ikonia:W: GPG error: http://download.tuxfamily.org gutsy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 3E231AC7F4ECF181 [16:44] W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems [16:44] neopsyche: it should grab medibuntu's version [16:44] usser: im not sure how? [16:44] ganeshhegde: yes, you've not got the key for that repo, is that an official ubuntu repo [16:44] Dr_willis, interesting? force xserver to restart feature. I hope you don't mind me bugging you.. but how did you do that? [16:44] CapaH: you can go to http://archives.ubuntu.com ... look around in /pool, download the file to flash drive and move it to the other box. [16:44] Does anyone else get a slow load after logging in with GNOME and GUTSY. I tried changing the uconf and stuff but it still seems to be doing it... [16:44] neopsyche: sudo dpkg --purge libavcodec1d [16:44] thinking about upgrading to gutsy from fiesty.. any big risks just using the automated feature in update manager? i have never done an upgrade automatically like that before [16:44] neopsyche: sudo apt-get install libavcodec1d [16:44] ok [16:44] Rowan: no, everything fine [16:45] Rowan, i find that having tomboy applet kinda slows up gnome.. but not that much [16:45] thanks riotkittie [16:45] ikonia:how to get?i need to install avant-window-navigator [16:45] ganeshhegde: is that an official ubuntu repo ? [16:45] ikonia and DShepherd, theres tons of threads on it, some with over 25 pages :S, oh well, i might just downgrade to feisty, nothing but problems with Gutsy for me [16:45] Rowan: ok [16:45] usser: i may get my a$$ kicked for this but... [16:45] anybody knows where does 32bit ``as'' lives on x86_64 ubuntu? [16:45] dependency problems prevent removal of libavcodec1d: [16:45] please [16:45] vlc-nox depends on libavcodec1d (>= 0.cvs20070307). [16:45] ffmpeg depends on libavcodec1d (>= 0.cvs20070307).

[16:46] prism: some people have had problems; the majority have not. if you have no unsupported packages installed, you should be fine... but i'd backup ~ if it's not on its own partition just to be safe [16:46] neopsyche: have you updated rescently? [16:46] ganeshhegde: speak to that someone then as if it was an offical ubuntu repo you'd already have the key [16:46] riotkittie: thank you [16:46] er.. no.. fresh gutsy [16:46] neopsyche: try update [16:46] neopsyche, dot paste in here next time please. use the paste bin === jeton is now known as lakosta_gv [16:46] neopsyche: *sighs* well how about just reinstalling it in synaptic [16:46] s/dot/dont [16:47] usser: so i should basically just uninstall whole ffmepg and then reinstall in synaptic [16:47] DShepherd he can't use the irc client do you really think he knows sed [16:47] BTW what does the FF* stand for in synaptic heeh [16:47] hehe [16:47] f.rospo [16:47] usser: god bless ya..you have towed the line with heart..your a good joe.

[16:50] hi! i'm dual booting vista and ubuntu and i *hope* there is a way to delete my vista partition and have ubuntu's partition absorb the disc space?? [16:50] from within ubuntu?? [16:50] happy thanksgiving [16:50] how can i see what are the current modules running on my computer? [16:50] neopsyche: like right click on it and mark for reinstallation [16:51] htown: there is, but resizing partitions is always a risk of corruption [16:51] crazyman, lsmod [16:51] does anyone know how i can get online videos to play? someone told me that there is a good software program that i can download [16:51] hi guys [16:51] joanki: mplayer [16:51] crazyman: lsmod|more [16:51] hey people, I have a little problem, i cannot install openssh-server [16:51] mplayer ok [16:51] coo [16:51] usser: ok :-) [16:51] suddenly today I have some problems with samba [16:51] how do i get it [16:52] Connection to localhost failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED) [16:52] so my best bet is to back up my files and just reinstall ubuntu? [16:52] I get this error [16:52] neopsyche: is it installing a new package? [16:52] ikonia: does defragging a disk help prevent data loss before resizing partitions? i was wondering that yesterday [16:52] hmm.. [16:52] apt-get install mplayer? [16:52] yereth: when did you start, what has changed, what are you trying to do [16:52] neopsyche: it should grab a bunch of others like libavformat and such [16:52] slvmchna: it can help, but not stop the risk [16:52] usser: it wont let me do that reinstallation because that option is blanked out. [16:52] slvmchna: Yes [16:52] neopsyche: alright just remove it [16:52] neopsyche: screw it [16:52] usser: along with all other packages :-) [16:52] neopsyche: and remove all other 1d's [16:53] slvmchna: But the chkdsk or scandisk is more important [16:53] ikonia: I have samba set up for a while running for my workgroup and all computers connected with user logins, while suddenly I got errors that I cannot access the samba server on the windows machines [16:53] neopsyche: yea, its gonna take a long time to download but i see no other way [16:53] yereth: what have you done to debug [16:53] ikonia: also, I ran an dist-upgrade today, but the problems started before that [16:53] hi there anybody here install moblock on gusty yet?

[17:10] don't think so [17:10] fever84: insert rather [17:10] ikonia: dropping iptables doesn't work [17:10] magoo24m thats just a limitation on some games, the wine/cedega layer isn't perfect [17:10] you pretty much deleted the partition [17:10] i even checked all the settings with wine [17:10] yereth: worth a go [17:10] makes since [17:10] does anyone know of a fix for the no sound in flash when using pulseaudio? [17:10] ikonia: the strangest thing is; everything worked fine this morning [17:10] yereth: something must have changed [17:10] ikonia: that's what I thought [17:10] usser, do you know how i set vlc as my default media player for online videos?

[17:11] is it any diff [17:11] greenmanspirit: just look at the hardware compatability [17:11] I accidentally removed my ntfs partition while setup ubuntu, who can I recover it? it was very important data on my ntfs partition,please someone help me here :(((((((((((( [17:11] yereth: /var/log [17:11] hi [17:11] yereth: for the log [17:11] ikonia:that was not official repo...can u tell me how to install avant-window-navigator? [17:11] I'm having problems with wlan stability [17:11] yereth: your password and username maps are listed in your samba config file [17:11] ikonia: been looking through, but wanted to check in here before i spent to much time looking [17:11] ikonia: yeah, but the password file and all [17:12] greenmanspirit: no idea [17:12] I keep reading these are fixed in 2.6.23 [17:12] yereth: they are listed in your samba config file [17:12] where can I find 2.6.23 for ubuntu 7.10? [17:12] joanki: theres mozilla-plugin-vlc [17:12] RoyK: doesn't exist [17:12] joanki: so install it [17:12] Seriously people, can someone explain to me what the hard disk load/unload bug (#58685) is listed as "wishlist?" [17:12] ikonia: so I have to build it by hand? [17:12] and if i do, will it become the default immediately? [17:12] joanki: and vlc should be able to play embedded videos [17:12] int0x0c: seriously why '? [17:12] That must be the biggest understatement of all time [17:12] RoyK: yup [17:12] ikonia: the bug seems to be known and quite wide-spread [17:12] usser, it does but i hafta cut and paste the url in [17:12] i'm sure there's a better way but i don't know it [17:13] RoyK: why does that change anything ? [17:13] hadifarnoud: Did it get absorbed into the partition ubuntu got installed to? Or was it just made into another kind of partition and no longer says it it ntfs (but still is same size as previously) [17:13] ikonia, It's killing uesr's harddrives [17:13] vlc plays everything firefox tunes into.. [17:13] int0x0c: is it killing yours ? [17:13] can someone explain why my system locks up during a windows setup.. ive swapped memory hdd. and video cards [17:13] ikonia: custom kernel refuses to see the ata drive [17:13] magoo24m: windows setup ? [17:13] joanki: copy paste url from where? [17:13] could it possibly be a processor problem [17:13] does anyone know if there is a ubuntu ptrace package available. I couldn't find one [17:13] I'll have to test more i guess [17:13] RoyK: and ? [17:13] during windowsxp setup [17:13] ikonia: and what? [17:13] ikonia: I don't see the passwd file in the conf [17:13] i know this isnt a ubuntu based qeustion [17:13] magoo24m: this is UBUNTU support, join ##windows for windows support [17:14] ikonia, yup [17:14] hi [17:14] hi [17:14] magoo24m: can be various reasons [17:14] int0x0c then post your info in the bug report [17:14] ikonia, or rather, was until I fixed it [17:14] Hmm [17:14] ikonia: I was merely wondering if there existed 'unofficial' 2.6.23 kernels for ubuntu [17:14] genii ubuntu deleted my whole disk and created a linux partition,now I've got only ubuntu here [17:14] !info ptrace gutsy [17:14] int0x0c let me get this right, you don't understand the problem but you fixed it [17:14] Package ptrace does not exist in gutsy [17:14] what tools can I use to browse my NTSF patition? [17:14] Im trying to rip a DVD, but its saying that 'the file size limit exceeded (core dumped) and this is supposedly a system message,not with the dvd ripping program. How do i fix this? [17:14] ikonia: only see a map of root = Administrator in smbusers [17:14] it also does it during a ubuntu live bootup [17:14] RoyK not that I'm aware of [17:14] magoo24m: overheating may be one of the reasons [17:14] usser, i installed mozilla-plugin-vlc but how do i access it? [17:14] ilkonia [17:14] yereth give me the pastebin again [17:14] joanki: dont have to do nothing special [17:14] ikonia: bummer. oh well. i'll go the long way,then [17:14] hadifarnoud: Then there is not much hope for recovery of anything that existed there previouslty [17:14] well i play my video [17:14] joanki: just click on any online video link [17:15] ikonia: http://pastie.caboo.se/120936 [17:15] ohhh so it's the default now? [17:15] joanki: and vlc plugin should pop up [17:15] ive checked the processor temp in bios.. good idea [17:15] tho [17:15] RoyK: you can always back patch into the current ubuntu kernel source and just rebuild [17:15] ikonia, No, I worked around it [17:15] genii why? [17:15] joanki: it should be. [17:15] ikonia: heh. if I had the patch, sure [17:15] joanki: yea, unless of course its something like youtube and such [17:15] magoo24m: if it does it with windows and ubuntu - its most likley a hardware error [17:15] RoyK: the 2.6.23 patch on the site - get it [17:15] RoyK: on kernel.org [17:15] I know some of them lost because ubuntu rewrited on that [17:15] ikonia: will that apply cleanly to the ubuntu kernel? [17:15] joanki: if not just delete the mplayer-plugin from your system i really see no reason why there should be two [17:15] hadifarnoud: Because the drive got formatted, and then after being formatted, was overwritten with the ubuntu installation. [17:15] i think so myself but we can rule out memory and hdd and video [17:15] I thought not [17:15] it says it is using the totemplugin viewer 2.20.0 [17:15] ikonia, I asked not why the problem hasn't been fixed, I merely asked why the ticket doesn't reflect the importance of the issue [17:15] i don't think that is vlc [17:16] ok usser [17:16] int0x0c: you asked to explain the bug [17:16] ikonia, The bug represents a critical issue that affects a large number of users [17:16] ikonia: what should be in smbusers [17:16] Rockj: should do [17:16] Im trying to rip a DVD, but its saying that 'the file size limit exceeded (core dumped) and this is supposedly a system message,not with the dvd ripping program. How do i fix this? [17:16] int0x0c: how do you know how many users it effects [17:16] what tools can I use to browse my NTSF patition? [17:16] but genii I have 60GB harddrive, can I recover some of my data? [17:16] joanki: aaa totem, remove totem-plugin [17:16] usser: it seems to have installed [17:16] yereth: username map = /etc/samba/smbusers [17:16] joanki: totem-mozilla [17:16] ikonia, Oh, my bad, meant to type "why" [17:16] It's possible in windows even when partition formatted [17:16] so it could be a bad onboard ide controller?? [17:16] joanki: sorry [17:16] soske2, just mount it with ntfs-3g which should be preinstalled on gutsy [17:16] ikonia, That would explain quite a bit [17:16] usser unstall totem-mozilla??? [17:17] ikonia: in that file is only one entry, root = Administrator [17:17] magoo24m: its a hardware error, so nothing to do with ubutnu [17:17] neopsyche: lets try that again [17:17] yes [17:17] hi [17:17] joanki: yep [17:17] k [17:17] can someone help me get brightness and audio controls working? [17:17] hadifarnoud: It is like installing XP over a windows 98 installation, reformatting to ntfs from fat filesystem along the way, then hoping to go back and recover some file you had there before on windows 98 [17:17] i know that ikonia [17:17] yes [17:17] hey, i'm using k3b to make a data disc and it tells me i have 8 gigs of space.. is that real? [17:17] yereth: how can this only have one name, you said "this has been working for ages" and "all my computers" [17:17] neopsyche: do that ffmpeg command line stuff [17:17] ikonia: what's the password file [17:17] yereth: this doesn't look like its been setup for multiple users [17:17] brohken: that knob [17:17] because it does it with all types of setups.. [17:17] hello [17:17] htown: double layered double sided can be [17:17] i typed this usser: [17:17] ikonia: when I do smbpasswd -a yereth nothing happens to that file [17:17] ikonia, judging by the number of comments on the bug and the nature of the problem [17:17] so im thinking its a controller issue [17:17] yereth: its tdbsam which is /var/lib/samba [17:17] or settings [17:18] usser: sudo apt-get uninstall totem-mozilla [17:18] int0x0c: that bug doen't have many comments [17:18] brohken [17:18] Tony_, im on a thinkpad... it wont work in ubuntu... [17:18] ikonia: what? [17:18] and i got this: [17:18] E: Invalid operation uninstall [17:18] ide controller.. or a motherboard component error [17:18] magoo24m: this is not a hardware support channel [17:18] i can only change brightness in shell [17:18] brohken too bad [17:18] magoo24m: this is ubuntu OS support ONLY [17:18] joanki: do sudo dpkg -r totem-mozilla [17:18] Tony_, thanks? [17:18] k [17:18] yereth: thats where the password file is normally kept [17:18] so the program would know if i'm using a double sidded disc, it's not going to error if i fill up the whole 8 gigs? [17:18] I have installed eclipse but it asks for java...wich I have icedtea installed and just installed the sun version that I downloaded from the site, but I dont know how to use it [17:18] Tony_, what's your problem anyway [17:18] ikonia, It has nearly 250 [17:18] or do i have to know [17:18] brohken: ask ibm [17:18] 250 is not a "lot" [17:18] Im trying to rip a DVD, but its saying that 'the file size limit exceeded (core dumped) and this is supposedly a system message,not with the dvd ripping program. How do i fix this? [17:18] so you have no knowledge of anything but ubuntu [17:19] ikonia, which almost certainly reflects a small fraction of the total number of users affected by the bug [17:19] magoo24m: yes, but we are not here to help with anything but ubuntu [17:19] ikonia: what should I see in that folder? [17:19] int0x0c: how do you knwo ? [17:19] usser: whats the command again? [17:19] htown: theres only one way to find out :) [17:19] ffmpeg -i file file ? [17:19] how do I install FF3 on Ubuntu? The firefox-granparadisio package seems to do "something else" [17:19] neopsyche: ffmpeg -i filename file.flv [17:19] yereth: your going to have to use google for the correct file names, I don't have an ubuntu box to hand to verify the file names === disappear is now known as sshd === sshd is now known as [sshd] [17:19] usser.... uh oh [17:19] ikonia: looks like the password files and all are in there [17:19] now it says no video [17:19] hadifarnoud: At this point if the files on it were something crucial to life and death and money is no objection, you couls pull out the hard drive and send it by courier to a data recovery laboratory, like the FBI computer forensics Division. But otherwise there is not much to be done [17:20] oops it's working [17:20] joanki: :0 [17:20] let it play joanki..it takes time 2 load. [17:20] how do i reinstall ubuntu [17:20] bennie: put the cd in, boot it, click install [17:20] usser how do i use cd command to get to dir again? [17:20] bennie: cd [17:20] Ubuntu_Rocks, there's no bar on the bottom tho... no time bar....?? [17:20] sorry all [17:20] how do you make an iptables command stick, after a reboot ?

[17:22] how do you make an iptables command stick, after a reboot ? [17:22] ikonia, Why are you arguing this with me? It's a problem that affects at least all Hitachi laptop uses, and considering Dell uses Hitachi harddrives in their entire latitude line, that's a rather large number [17:22] It is intergrated in vlc [17:22] i got a list of files i wanna back up in a txt file.... how can i copy them files to my backup folder without typing all the files in manually [17:22] nova: flash support is weak in 64bit os's [17:22] I get the splash screen, choose Install linux, and the loading kernel comes up, then leaves [17:22] joanki: im not sure what are u reffering to [17:22] wait [17:22] ikonia, The point is, it's a bug that is irreversibly destroying someone's hardware somewhere [17:22] int0x0c: I'm not arguing it, I disagree [17:22] neverblue, I made a script and put it into rc.local [17:22] int0x0c: yes, thats very true [17:23] int0x0c: and what is your question regarding that bug [17:23] ikonia, It should be marked as more important than wishlist [17:23] joanki: time bar may not appear at all if its a streaming video [17:23] neverblue, that is /etc/rc.local [17:23] you know how there's a thing that tells you how much time has passed in your video, usser? and you can pull the bar to the right to fast forward or to the left to go back? [17:23] kane77, a script ? hmmm [17:23] int0x0c: say that in the bug report rather than a group of random people on irc [17:23] oh man [17:23] neverblue, with all the iptable commands... [17:23] ctl+., [17:23] joanki: and it will always be vlc that is used to play online videos [17:23] yeah unfortunately is true, so is the best thing to do just get rid of pulseaudio, because it worked before i installed pulseaudio [17:23] ikonia, at least 10 people have [17:23] >< [17:23] ikonia, including myself [17:23] I accidentally removed my ntfs partition while setup ubuntu, who can I recover it? it was very important data on my ntfs partition,please someone help me here ,please someone tell me it's possible,in my country we didnt have any data recovery lab [17:23] usser: ok its doing something [17:23] neopsyche: so ? [17:23] int0x0c: so what do you want the channel to do about it ? [17:23] ikonia, yet is remains marked as "wishlist" [17:23] neopsyche: audio stream? [17:24] checking [17:24] hey guys, this sounds a bit complicated. I just installed 2 different modules for my wireless card, i want to use them both at different times, but I want one of them to be the one thats loaded by default, do I just blacklist the other one, and then call it when I need it? [17:24] ikonia, in hopes that one of the acpi-support maintainers is listening here [17:24] usser: aint it great .. hehehe i need to re-install vlc to play the file :-) [17:24] usser, but u can't pause or ANYTHING [17:24] can someone help me install java on amd64 [17:24] int0x0c: doubtful and doubtful they would respond to one person in an irc channel [17:24] neopsyche: heh [17:24] ok, kane77 is this the 'correct' place for this script though ? [17:24] int0x0c: by respond I mean raise the bug [17:24] install the librarys [17:24] fevel [17:24] hey [17:24] joanki: http://www.videolan.org/doc/play-howto/en/play-howto-en.html [17:24] joanki: hm im not sure [17:25] ikonia, It would at least raise their awareness of the issue [17:25] i got a list of files i wanna back up in a txt file.... how can i copy them files to my backup folder without typing all the files in manually [17:25] Ubuntu_Rocks, , thanks [17:25] If i'm using Intel quad core, should I be using hte amd64 bit version of Ubuntu / Kubuntu? [17:25] k [17:25] neverblue, I believe so.. do you have any better place for it? :) [17:25] int0x0c they get emails everytime someone posts a comment, they are aware of it, all of them [17:25] neopsyche: vlc install should be fast its gotta be cached === carlo is now known as matteo [17:25] Ok... I can get a .deb file onto my cd rom (for ndiswrapper) but when I try to install it on the other computer, it is appparently trying to download uhm --- dependancies, how can I get the file and all necessary depenancies on the cd rom and moved to the other computer? [17:25] kane77, I do not have enough knowledge about linux to answer that question correctly [17:25] are there any good guides to setting up scim and anthy in ubuntu 7.10? i haven't been able to find any :-/ [17:25] hey guys, this sounds a bit complicated. I just installed 2 different modules for my wireless card, i want to use them both at different times, but I want one of them to be the one thats loaded by default, do I just blacklist the other one, and then call it when I need it? [17:25] Tony_: I tried installing thewent fine but eclipse still asks for java oficial one from the sun website, everything [17:26] usser: installing vlc [17:26] ooops [17:26] hey, i need to navigate to a folder called: ~/.purple/plugins how do i do that?

[17:27] derkles: uncomment the wacom lines in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [17:27] cp -R `cat fil` that will copy the out putt of "cat file" into new files [17:27] its not a wacom [17:28] grr [17:28] That's what I would do, cp -r `cat mylist.txt` /destinationfolder/ [17:28] derkles: wacom is generic, so it should work. [17:28] how do i access my applications folder? [17:28] can anyone help me? [17:28] Kl4m ooh I see what your doing [17:28] Kl4m: sorry, I've read that wrong [17:28] hi [17:28] its an acecad kernel module, will that work? [17:28] ikonia: how can I remove it? [17:28] * usser well i'd damned it doesnt [17:28] Para93: what is your question? [17:28] neverblue, well just create file starting with #!/bin/bash put all the iptables commands you want.. and save it as .sh use "chmod +x .sh" to make it runnable and then edit /etc/rc.local and put the name of the file there (with complete path to the file).. [17:29] neverblue, of course replace with desired name :) [17:29] kane77, is it really that easy though ? [17:29] neverblue, sure [17:29] ikonia: should I just remove the folder? [17:29] yes [17:29] kane77: you do know that iptables can save its commands, right? [17:29] i try to patch my kernel for install the patch for the injection on my wireless device [17:29] oh sorry [17:29] fevel: sorry, I missed your question as I didn't mean to respond to you [17:29] fevel [17:29] Para93: ok [17:29] kane77, i dont beleive you fully understand [17:29] fever84: its not gonna work if u have " " in your filenames [17:29] does anyone know how to get into my applications folder?

[17:29] Kl4m: it doesnt work if files have spaces [17:29] bcm4318 [17:29] neverblue, ehmm so make me understand :) [17:29] usser: of course not === mimilus__ is now known as mimilus_ [17:30] austin_: there is no 'applications' folder, its just a menu item. [17:30] now i've installed the source of my kernel [17:30] austin_: what are you trying to do? [17:30] ikonia: how can I remove the oficial one I installed? removing the jdk folder? [17:30] Para93: broadcom does not need that [17:30] fevel: I don't know what your question is [17:30] fyrestrtr, can you explain a bit more, how can you 'save' iptables commands, after a system reboot ? [17:30] drag a file into the pidgin folder [17:30] a .so file [17:30] Para93: you don't need to patch your kernel for that. [17:30] yes if you install the patch [17:30] ikonia: hm, and putting "" around cat makes it only worse :) [17:30] run the restricted drivers manager. [17:30] usser: yup [17:30] kane77, im here to ask questions, not offer explainations to you, sorry [17:30] ikonia: how would one get around it [17:30] usser, ikonia, fever84: that's right. That's why I was writing something else before seeing the cp -r [17:30] usser did i mention i love u lol [17:31] fever84: :) [17:31] fyrestrtr, well yeah.. I'm using this script to do more than just set iptables... [17:31] usser: a few ways, using awk to insert escape chars, a while loop reading encapsulating the names in speach marks [17:31] for x in `cat mylist.txt`; do; cp "${x}" /destination/; done; [17:31] why i don't need the patch? [17:31] neverblue, but what is it you are trying to do? [17:31] ikonia: How can I remove the oficial jdk I installed through the command sh that I downloaded on sun website? [17:31] Kl4m: that still won't work with spaces [17:31] !broadcom [17:31] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [17:31] kane77, you dont understand, ill ask someone else [17:31] fevel: you'll have to rm it [17:31] why can't i just go to the pidgin folder? is there a folder for pidgin at all? [17:31] neopsyche: so? [17:31] kane77: you should restrict the script to one task only, especially if you are launching it at system boot. [17:31] austin_: pidgin folder ? [17:31] i've yet look there [17:31] austin_: there is no pidgin folder [17:31] usser:I installed AWN using http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=385981 but how to run? [17:31] wait, not pidgin, i meant awn [17:32] there isn't anithing about my problem [17:32] i need to get to ~/.purple/plugins [17:32] ganeshhegd1: sorry i've never used awn i wouldnt know [17:32] fyrestrtr, kane77 was initially helping me, if you know more about setting iptables permanently, im all ears [17:32] *anything [17:32] neverblue: iptables-save and iptables-restore [17:32] I need to apt-get install ndiswrapper-common on my other computer (one foot away from me) ---- and without doing that, I have no way to get internet access. I have a way to transfer files between the two --- but I dont know what to do in order to make this work. Can anyone help me? [17:32] alsaconf is in what package? [17:32] CapaH: download the file and dependecnies and burn onto cdrom [17:32] neverblue: you aren't the first person wanting to restore iptable rules on reboot ;) [17:32] I want to install a wireless 1390 broadcom card in an HP Turion laptop - I use lenny - I cannot even get to modprob [17:32] usser: k..thanx [17:32] Pidgin rocks/I hope they upgrade it without government intervention. [17:32] austin_: u knw abt AWN/ [17:33] fyrestrtr, obviously, but whats less obvious is your point... [17:33] Para93: What we are saying is that the bcm43xx do not need what you are trying to do [17:33] awn? [17:33] neverblue, use iptables-save and iptables-restore... [17:33] ikonia: How do I know the dependencies ? [17:33] Can anyone help me? My battery refuses to charge, but my laptop can still run on AC. [17:33] kane77, your annoying, sorry [17:33] CapaH: man apt-get there is an "info" option for packages [17:33] and how can i use the injection? [17:33] CapaH: save the .deb from /var/apt/cache/ on the other computer and run apt-get [17:33] axjv: hardware fault [17:33] axjv: get a new battery. [17:33] fyrestrtr: that will fail as it wants dependencies off the net [17:33] fyrestrtr: I just got a new battery, and it still works. [17:33] omfg, this is so annoying. Why can't i just navigate to wherever ~/.purple/plugins is [17:34] austin_:ya.. [17:34] ahhhh thank you fyrestrtr thats exactly what I needed [17:34] axjv: take it to a computer shop [17:34] can anyone help me out with some hibernation/suspend issues i'm having? After suspend mode my wireless connections no longer work, and neither does VPN connections. any ideas? [17:34] var/apt/cache [17:34] axjv: If it acts the same in another os then your charging circuit in the lappy is fried.. not too uncommon.. I have an external charger for one of my lappy [17:34] ?? [17:34] austin_: open you home folder, and hit ctrl+h [17:34] Does anybody here know about the fakeraidhowto and grub. I need help configuring grub, stuck for 5 days getting nowhere [17:34] austin: omfg is not tolerated. [17:34] Ruuud: grub on fake raid is not worth the effort [17:34] eh, noting happened [17:34] Ruuud: don't use fakeraid [17:34] oh wai [17:34] austin_: wipe the grime off your monitor and look again [17:34] ip 146.134.8.125 freezes up network tools in whois and looks diff. then when looked up online - network tools 2.20.0 on Gutsy - can anyone else confirm this? [17:34] nevermind, i can see it know! [17:35] how can i use the injection? [17:35] Para93: What you are doing is not going to help.. Not many people are going to help you break your system [17:35] Ikonia: What should I use instead, I actually do not use windows on that machine... [17:35] Two questions: 1) When I do apt-get is there a way to JUST download but not install the files, and #2) Why does it ask for the Ubuntu CD ? [17:35] Para93: injection ? [17:35] Ruuud: just use a hard disk [17:35] Ruuud: you can use linux software raid if you ahve a requirment for raid [17:35] nowshining: what tool are you using on it? [17:35] yes injection..for aircrack.. [17:35] Ruuud: or buy a quality hardware raid card [17:35] thanks [17:35] Para93: aircrack ? [17:35] Ikonia: You are saying I should not use the raid option at all? [17:36] Ruuud: not fakeraid at all, no [17:36] CapaH: there is an option in synaptic for download only.. they will be in var/cache/apt/archives [17:36] CapaH: yes, and it asks for the cd because you didn't comment out the deb-cdrom line in your /etc/apt/sources.list [17:36] yes aircrack pack..airodump, aireplay, aicrack [17:36] Para93: what does that do ? [17:36] neverblue, screw you.. get some politeness... [17:36] Para93: I've never seen that in the ubuntu repos [17:36] linux is so complicated :( [17:36] for the wep crack [17:36] nowshining: then it is a problem with your setup. [17:36] Para93: aircrack is NOT appropiate for this channel [17:36] usser: i am getting a error... it wont accept cat... does i matter that i am running it in sh ? [17:36] Jack_Sparrow: is it a cracking tool ? [17:36] Austin: comples logic usually is. [17:36] yes [17:37] no every other ip works fine and finished the download *complex [17:37] Jack_Sparrow: thanks ! [17:37] of of course the whois info [17:37] nowshining: what 'download'? [17:37] ikonia: for accessing other peoples networks [17:37] uh, wtf is that supposed to mean? [17:37] Jack_Sparrow: ta [17:37] sorry i didn't know [17:37] np [17:37] austin_: no need for "wtf" [17:37] anyone knows in wich packages cames alsaconf? [17:37] !info alsaconf [17:37] Package alsaconf does not exist in gutsy [17:37] !info alsa [17:37] Package alsa does not exist in gutsy === sysroot74_ is now known as SySRoot74 [17:37] fever84: the command i gave isnt very good since it doesnt work on files with spaces [17:37] usser: THANKS im so greatful for your help it WORKED! [17:37] ughhh [17:37] ember: alsa-tools [17:37] the whois info example fyrestrtr: thank you [17:38] Ikonia: Can I ask why I should not use the "fakeraid"? [17:38] It means real systems usually have complex logistics to where they bypass useless ness [17:38] fyrestrtr i tried that. [17:38] Ruuud: because its a dirty and nasty solution that is rubbish [17:38] usser the files are just one word === Zdra_ is now known as Zdra [17:38] evning folks! I'm trying to fix the broken sundance network driver but each time I reboot it still uses the original module instead of my new one?

[17:39] neopsyche: if u have spare time bandwidth install other 1d files they contain some useful features for ffmpeg [17:39] usser, fever84: Mine doesn't work with spaces in file name either but its closer to the correct solution. [17:39] Ruuud: fake raid is a windows thing, hence why it is terrible in linux, but it is a silly solution in general [17:40] nowshining: probably the whois server is rejecting your requests, causing a timeout -- which you thing is a 'hang'. [17:40] nowshining: most whois servers have such restrictions. [17:40] what's a good program for encoding and burning video files to a dvd?

[17:40] fever84: it should not matter if its sh or bash [17:40] fever84: its gotta work [17:40] neopsyche: np [17:40] I am having a problem with 7.10 gutsy.

Can't I include it in the initrd or something ? [17:40] neverblue: iptables-save saves the rules to a file, on boot you need a script to useiptable-restore from the file it created [17:40] neverblue: iptables has its own place where it saves the rules, assuming you use iptables-save, then you restore them with iptables-restore. [17:40] thanks ill give it a go [17:40] also, the ";" after "do" shouldn't be there. [17:41] rooth_: which is why you would blacklist the one you dont want loaded [17:41] I accidentally removed my ntfs partition while setup ubuntu, who can I recover it? it was very important data on my ntfs partition,please someone help me here ,please someone tell me it's possible,in my country we didnt have any data recovery lab [17:41] hello [17:41] Ikonia: I know that the cpu is doing the part that the controller should be doing. But enough about how bad it is... [17:42] hadifarnoud: im am sorry to tell you that you probably can not recover that data [17:42] hadifarnoud removed, how [17:42] hadifarnoud: there are many ntfs restore tools, but you need Windows to run them. [17:42] fyrestrtr, then I have to enter a shell and type iptables-restore each time I reboot/logout ? [17:42] hadifarnoud: it is possible, unless you created another partition over it [17:42] hadifarnoud: was the partition formated? [17:42] neverblue: you need a boot script to use iptables-restore [17:42] I saved a file as .jpeg and it saved as .jfif wtf?

[17:44] hadifarnoud: did you format it? [17:44] Jack_Sparrow: I might be a bit stupid but I don't quite follow you. I get that it won't load the orginal-sundance driver but how do I get it to load my new sundance-driver (same names) and where would I copy my sundance.ko file to ? so that I won't have to do some magic modprobe manually? [17:44] Ikonia: Suppose I have everything set up except for grub. Can you help me even though I have a rubbisch solution right now?? [17:44] yes formated by ubuntu [17:44] Ruuud: what part of "it doesn't work" am I not saying clear to you [17:44] Jack_Sparrow, what if he meant world taekwondo federation :) [17:44] fyrestrtr, nope. I only have the one jack [17:44] Ruuud: trying to make grub work with fakeraid is not worth the effort [17:44] and a mic-one of course [17:44] /// [17:44] kane77: You and I know he didnt... [17:45] ...* [17:45] Video games put you in a low oxygen icosis....no wonder bill gates is rich. [17:45] Why do .jpeg files turn into .jfif if I save them [17:45] Jack_Sparrow, just joking... [17:45] :) [17:45] you can restore files -- but you need another Windows PC and you need to remove the disk and install it as a slave. [17:45] hi, i am not able to print to a pdf? i have cup-pdf installed? do i need to configure anything or installe anything else? [17:45] hey what should i have for netbeans as the dependencies?? [17:45] hadifarnoud: assuming you didn't write to the disk beyond whatever partition ubuntu does -- there is a very *slim* chance you can get your files. [17:45] Ayabara: check your channels. [17:46] Ikonia: I understand you, but enough people got it to work. So it can be done? I read in the FakeRaidHowto that linux supports softRaid as well... I suppose the solution wil be equally bad, but should I try this then instead? [17:46] ivan_: what program are you using? [17:46] matlab [17:46] Ruuud don't use fake raid. I don't know how many times I can say that [17:46] fyrestrtr :good news [17:46] someone answer me why do .jpeg files save as .jfif [17:46] Ruuud Linux software raid is excellent [17:46] I'm about to uninstall Ubuntu [17:46] ivan_ well done, [17:46] Super-Sonic-Sega ok, thanks for trying it [17:46] Ruuud: it really will not help much with speed and it can really bite you later.. [17:46] ... [17:47] I know I can not recover rewirtten part [17:47] ikonia: what? [17:47] hadifarnoud for the last time, "its gone" [17:47] fyrestrtr, what do you mean by that? I'm a bit new to sound trouble on linux :-) [17:47] super: search stop the laziness. [17:47] ivan_ "matlab" [17:47] Super-Sonic-Sega, what program are you using? [17:47] do i need some screen app inorder to make vncviewer work? i can connect to the server but no window pops up ever.... [17:47] wow, i'm lovin the customizability of ubuntu :D [17:47] mspaint in wine [17:47] Jack_Sparrow: So you say "no fake raid" as well. But do you also agree with Ikonia that software raid from linux is better? [17:48] ikonia: i am using matlab and whant to print? doesn't the cups print the page? [17:48] ikonia:but i can recover formatted partition in windows! why can't recover it in linux? [17:48] ivan_: you should be able to print from it. Print to a postscript file and then you can convert it to pdf later. [17:48] hadifarnoud: If you are running on that pc now.. you are adding to the problem, pull the drive and add another as master, the old one as slave [17:48] fyrestrtr: but thats the problem i am getting an error message, and when i google it is related to cups [17:48] hadifarnoud I can't be bothered, you've over written it with diferent files, not formated it, you've over written it, its gone. If you don't believe me, join ##windows and ask them for help [17:48] hadifarnoud: You can NOT recover it in windows if you repartition/reformat and install a new os over it [17:49] fyrestrtr: "PRinter is not accepting jobs" [17:49] if i want to make my gutsy unstable or what it called, how to change my sources.list ? [17:49] hasse_: if you can't even figure out how to do it, you shouldn't be doing it [17:49] Jack_Sparrow: You say "no fake raid" as well. But do you also agree with Ikonia that software raid from linux is better? [17:49] ikonia: can you help me please ? [17:49] No wonder why the USA is 37th in education and the rest of the world laughs..USA is lazy..and 2 think i am from USA..I stand embarrassed. [17:49] can anyone else whois check vea network tools and let me know if it freezes up on them too or is it confirmed it being up on my end with that particular ip? [17:49] ivan_: that's the exact error message? [17:49] hasse_: you cannot, there is no release available for the next version of ubuntu. [17:49] Ruuud: I no longer use either.. Why do you feel the need to do so [17:49] hasse_ with what ? [17:49] Ubuntu_Rocks: what makes u say this [17:50] nowshining log a bug instead of hassling the channel [17:50] Guys my partition was 60GB but now ubuntu is only about 5GB, it means i lost 5GB and can not recover but i hope i can recover others [17:50] I have the stats. [17:50] !offtopic > Ubuntu_Rocks: [17:50] Jack_Sparrow: because I can partition the drive as one large one [17:50] hadifarnoud have you tried to resize it ? [17:50] Hey, Is there a way I can view a log of ubuntu while it's trying to start up? [17:50] Hey, Is there a way I can view a log of ubuntu while it's trying to start up? [17:50] okay, i have libmyth.0.20.0 installed, but mythtv needs libmythtv-0.20.2 [17:50] k [17:50] nowshining: I don't know how else to tell you this, but the IP will not cause network tools to 'freeze'. [17:50] but it's not in my repository [17:50] Ruuud raid 0 is a waste of time and effort and will cause you pain with corruption at some point, don't bother, buy a big drive [17:50] ikonia :yes [17:50] Just trying to stimulate. [17:50] Sp3c1alK: sure press esc when grub is booting [17:50] Sp3c1alK: step 1. stop repeating step 2. disable silent boot. [17:51] how do i update my RFB protocol? im using 3.8 and i need 4.0 [17:51] hadifarnoud: then its your fault, re-partition it [17:51] Ruuud: Drives are too cheap to setup raid just for that.. [17:51] what exactuly is GRUB? [17:51] i'm n00b to linux [17:51] grub is a bootloader [17:51] Sp3c1alK: and then edit the startup option removing silent [17:51] Ruuud: Setup a /home on one if you want [17:51] Sp3c1alK: grub is the boot loader [17:51] ikonia can I recover anything? [17:51] hadifarnoud: use the same partitioning tool you used, and re-partition it to the correct size [17:51] hadifarnoud: your data is most likley gone though [17:51] hadifarnoud: just use testdisk [17:51] fyrestrtr: "the following error occured during the printing process: printer is not accepting jobs" [17:52] its on the gparted livecd [17:52] Sp3c1alK: when comp is booting up keep pressing esc until u see a boot menu [17:52] hadifarnoud: there is a 99.5% chance your data is completely unrecoverable. [17:52] How can I disable IPV6 for apt-get? I'm using an ipv6 tunnel on my system; apt-get tries to connect to a mirror with the tunnel and hangs... [17:52] can i have more than one server connected at once in xchat? [17:52] Alright, when I try to Boot I get something that says mapping something and then just a black screen nothing else [17:52] hopefully the log will help me [17:52] anybody know how to get conky to run at startup? added it to sessions but it didn't work. [17:52] hadifarnoud: it can help copy the data without any active or working partitions to another disk [17:52] /join xchat [17:52] ivan_: hrmm ... that's curious. You could try restarting cups. [17:52] Sp3c1alK: u dont see a splash screen? [17:53] I do get to the splash screen [17:53] Jack_Sparrow: I tested a long time ago (few years) with this exact same system and then there was a difference. But they are now in the "raid controller" I'll have to make it handle them as separate drives, or does that not matter for linux at all? [17:53] and select install or run live cd [17:53] fyrestrtr: i tried to reinstall cups but it says that the package is not longer in use [17:53] uKKeMan_ it means I can recover my free space (it was my ntfs before) [17:53] and i get that my kernel is trying to load up, and it gets to 100% then says mapping something and then I ge tthe black screen [17:53] !find cups [17:53] Found: bluez-cups, cups-pdf, cupsddk, cupsddk-drivers, cupsys-driver-gutenprint (and 22 others) [17:53] Sp3c1alK: report exact details, or don't bother [17:53] Sp3c1ialK: Open up up the /boot/grub/menu.lst and edit it as root, find the line that says: [17:53] Sp3c1alK: stuff like "it does sometehing like map" is pointless [17:53] hadifarnoud: i didnt follow the whole discussion, but testdisk saved my ass lateley [17:53] ivan_: tried cups-pdf ? [17:54] fyrestrtr: yes [17:54] !info cups-pdf [17:54] Ruuud: I dont quite understand, do you have a hardware raid controller? [17:54] semperfiguy: he's booting the livecd [17:54] fyrestrtr: but nothing else [17:54] how come i can't go to any other servers but this one and a selected list? [17:54] !info cups-pdf [17:54] I have a promise fasttrack and the intel ichr5 [17:54] I have an inspiron 1520 laptop, and I find that ubuntu 7.10 crashes a lot on it [17:54] semper: I dont know how to do that? [17:54] cups-pdf: PDF printer for CUPS. In component main, is optional. Version 2.4.6-3ubuntu10 (gutsy), package size 42 kB, installed size 256 kB [17:54] austin_: in what way [17:54] ivan_: I don't use matlab so I can't help you much; only to say that if you cannot print from any other app to that printer, then try filing a bug. [17:54] nm-applet sometimes freezes up and quits, and it stops my wifi [17:54] Ruuud: are you dual booting as well? [17:54] Nope [17:54] i want to go to irc.wyldride.org [17:54] What are U using austin. [17:54] ill try another program [17:54] and occasionaly like just now the whole system crashed [17:55] but i can't connect [17:55] uKKeMan_ how can I get it? it isn't on synaptic [17:55] austin_: is it up and running ? [17:55] Ruuud: Run them as seperate drives, make one your /home the other for the os [17:55] bulio: checked the HCL? [17:55] yes [17:55] get channel list [17:55] would AWN + emerald + compiz fusion be doing something? [17:55] greetings :) [17:55] austin_: no idea [17:55] i click connect [17:55] how do i update my RFB protocol? im using 3.8 and i need 4.0 for vnc viewer. i dont want to have to download the enterprise editon... [17:55] fyrestrtr, HCL? [17:55] hadifarnoud: google for gparted LiveCD [17:55] and it gives me a list to connect to [17:55] Jack_Sparrow: Then I'll have an 120Gb drive for my os?? [17:55] Happy Thanksgiving to other American's in here :) [17:55] or go cgsecurity.org [17:55] thx [17:55] !hcl > bulio [17:55] Ruuud: Dont mean to leave you without answers.. but need to go work on dinner [17:55] Anyone recommend a good newsgroup program for Linux? [17:55] Does anyone know the system ID for a Dell E1505? I'm trying to update my BIOS. [17:55] hadifarnoud: there youll find a list of livecd including testdisk [17:55] alright [17:55] is it gnome xchat [17:56] something that will let me download for offline viewing [17:56] Jack_Sparrow: I'll ask others :P [17:56] I have a sound problem in kdenlive: I installed it on Feisty. Now, having Gutsy I wanted to have version 0.5, so I dropped the old version and installed it from the repositories. But now I don't have any sound at all. I get this message "SDL failed to open audio: No available audio device". Any idea? [17:56] jshriver: thunderbird [17:56] fyrestrtr, yes I have, all my hardware is supported [17:56] Ruuud: you wanted to make them into one drive, so why complain about making two smaller ones [17:56] uKKeMan_ thanks man,wish me luck [17:56] core 2 duo T7500 2.2GHZ, 2GB ram, Geforce 8600M GT [17:56] intel integrated wireless [17:56] bulio: are you running compiz or something else? [17:56] Jack_Sparrow: I complain about 120gb for just my os [17:56] When trying ot use the windows based installer, I get an error saying: Error while trying to initialize bcdedit [17:56] Ruuud: partition it down [17:57] hadifarnoud: good luck, i had reinitiated my whole disk with 5 partitions (ntfs, fat and unix mix) [17:57] fyrestrtr, compiz fusion, emerald, awn [17:57] Ruuud: do what you want, its clear you not interested in anything other than what you want to hear [17:57] Jack_Sparrow: What would be an advisable partitioning? having two 120gb drives? [17:57] Ruuud: good luck [17:57] uKKeMan_ OMG [17:57] Jack_Sparrow: (this is my first time linux :P) [17:57] bulio: there lies your problem ;) [17:57] what? [17:57] compiz is unstable? [17:57] bulio: no [17:58] Ruuud: np, give yourself at least 10 gigs for your os and go for it... [17:58] hadifarnoud: took 4 hours [17:58] When trying ot use the windows based installer, I get an error saying: Error while trying to initialize bcdedit [17:58] Jack_Sparrow: Thank you [17:58] Sp3c1alK wubi is not supported here [17:58] bulio: awn is, emerald I have no clue about. You are running 7.10? [17:58] wubi is dangerous [17:58] fyrestrtr, yes [17:58] alright, I'll try looking at the log while installing brb [17:59] uKKeMan_ http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Livecd this is it? [17:59] bulio: disable awn and emerald and see if you get the same problems. [17:59] Ikonia: You are not reading everything I say right? I was asking about how I should use the smaller separate drives... [17:59] hadifarnoud: yeah thats it [17:59] Ruuud: but I've told you 10 times, Jack_Sparrow has offered about 10 different solutions [18:00] Ruuud: We understand you are new... please avoid raid, partition sep drives any way you like. Look into having a sep partition for your /home [18:00] Happy Thanksgiving all.... I will pop in as out as I have time.. [18:00] fyrestrtr, ok [18:01] but I thought AWN would have no effect on nm-applet [18:01] Ditto Jack g/b/u. [18:01] whats the command to show the files in a folder please :) [18:01] fever84: ls [18:02] thanks [18:02] fever84: http://www.pixelbeat.org/cmdline.html [18:02] <3 [18:02] fever84: check that one out [18:02] wow thats sexy thanks [18:03] can anyone help me please? [18:03] fever84: yea, there are lots of linux command line tips pages out there, that one is good because it shows you how to use ip and tc instead of ifconfig [18:03] I am a linux newbi [18:03] wac_: just ask your question [18:04] wac_: no need to ask to ask [18:04] hola alguien puede echarme una mano con grub error 17?

[18:09] K-41: what do you want an ubuntu support group to do about your lack of support in #c++ ? [18:09] try efnet there not much more helpful tho [18:09] before i typed sudo dpkg -4 totem-mozilla [18:09] oops -r [18:09] joanki: -4 ?? [18:09] how do i get it back? [18:09] joanki, install it. apt-get install totem-mozilla [18:09] synapt mozilla totem plugins [18:10] sudo dpkg -i totem-mozilla [18:10] ubuntu what would be the exact thing to type? [18:10] Does anyone here know how to get the Belkin Wireless G Card to work? [18:10] joanki: hrrm well thats like removed the package ... put the package back in if it is in the current sources [18:10] I have ndiswrapper installed just not sure what to do next [18:10] hey, I hasve a question. I used to have an old HP, but i decided to go Ubuntu on it. I put the CD in, and I install Ubuntu, but when I'm done, and I reboot thePC, it asks me for the Ubuntu CD. Any ideas why I'm getting this problem? [18:10] I have the Belkin WinXP installation CD [18:10] Kl4m: will that work? does that require the .deb in /var/cache/apt/archives or somethincg? I thought -i needs a .deb file [18:10] thanks [18:10] Kl4m, [18:10] whats a weg [18:10] nntyjty-gs: did you remve the cd after reboot [18:11] Bl4m, should I remove it? [18:11] weg = wicked evil grin [18:11] Kl4m* [18:11] Does anybody here have any knowledge of C++? [18:11] what's the channel name for desktop effects? [18:11] vlc rules in the total ff plugin.. [18:11] crap [18:11] it's gone [18:11] and now vlc has taken over [18:11] i can't playing streaming songs because vlc says there are no videos [18:11] only if you screwed it up [18:11] nntyjty-gs: The installer asks to remove the cd after install is complete. [18:12] K-41, sure, but this is probably not the best channel for programming questions [18:12] nevermind found it :) [18:12] how can i get back my totem mozilla as my default [18:12] shall i uninstall vlc? [18:12] I do remove the CD, KL4M. But my question is, why would it ask me for the CD? [18:12] I loaded 7.10 with vlc..and i have (0) problems. [18:12] ugh sometimes linux SO frustrates me [18:12] nntyjty-gs: right when you boot? [18:13] in the ubuntu-restricted-media is the divx codecs in there because that is the main codec I want?? [18:13] Yes. === GodTodd__ is now known as GodTodd [18:13] Its like, I dont think Ubuntu is installnig right.. :\ [18:13] joanki: mozilla-plugin-vlc should not be installed. [18:13] WHAT asks you for the CD? [18:13] Kl4m, got it [18:13] i need to uninstall it then, right? [18:13] Bleh. [18:13] br [18:13] Exactly.loead from install vlc..problem solved [18:14] Kl4m, i typed this: [18:14] sudo apt-get uninstall mozilla-plugin-vlc [18:14] and i got this: [18:14] in the ubuntu-restricted-media is the divx codecs in there because that is the main codec I want?? [18:14] E: Invalid operation uninstall [18:14] should it be remove? [18:14] nntyjty-gs, What is happening? [18:14] joanki: remove [18:14] joanki, Ues [18:14] purge [18:14] *yes [18:14] happy turkey day everyone [18:15] synapt mozilla vlc plugins..uninstall [18:15] Kl4m, let me guess: you just loaded Ubuntu, and after the reboot you went in to upgrade and it's asking for your CD again. That's because there is a line in /etc/apt/sources.list that points to the cd as a program repository. if you "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" and comment out that line, save the file ( Ctrl-O ), exit nano (Ctrl-X), reload your repositories ("sudo apt-get update") you'll cease to see messages from apt or apt based prog [18:15] rams requesting it [18:15] wac_, Yes [18:15] I'm looking for a good IRC client for ubuntu, any suggestions? [18:15] i'm using a java based one right now [18:15] Xchat. [18:15] nntyjty-gs: What StoneNote said. [18:15] Aften [18:16] Xchat then? [18:16] You can make it good looking with the transparence. [18:16] Even though a reboot is not suggested..do it anyway. [18:16] ohh [18:16] ADemiG0D: konversation is decent [18:16] I made it, and it's not awful. [18:16] i was looking at konversation in the repositories [18:16] Jack_Sparrow, my experience with konversation from svn is not too good. and stable had not been updated in a long time last time I tried it, which I guess was about 6 months ago [18:16] ADemiG0D: It is my choice, easy enough to try [18:16] I'm most familiar with Snak on a mac computer, is there anything similiar to that? [18:16] Dunno KDE's softs, i'm under gnome. [18:17] Hum. No really [18:17] +t [18:17] eh, if nobody keeps up on konversation and its unstable I'll not bother [18:17] !best [18:17] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. [18:17] which one is the best online media plugin:??? xine, totem, vlc or mplayer [18:17] which one plays the most types? [18:17] I'll see how look snak. [18:17] vlc [18:17] yeah I'd say vlc [18:18] anyone else got laptops with Intel HD audio and sound problems on Gutsy? My problem is low sound.. [18:18] but you have 2 many codecs sitting in trash [18:18] so sopor you'd suggest xchat? [18:18] I'll try it out [18:18] mplayer is more integrated, but vlc plays most everything [18:18] Hum, i see. [18:18] mplayer seemed to lock up on the majority of the videos i'd try to play [18:19] joanki, totem plays almost everything, and it's nice that you can right click ant get the URL of the video itself to play in any other player if needed ( even if it's a URL strangely redirected from a Quicktime movie or something like that ) [18:19] Time to reload 7.10 and (only) use vlc as a modem of media..do it and enjoy. [18:19] does vlc have an equivalent to mencoder? [18:19] I have learned. [18:19] yes [18:19] k [18:19] Well, i think Xchat, when you set the channel switcher at anything else that tree, it's about the same [18:19] Is "onglet" an english word? oO [18:20] omelet? [18:20] vlc should be more supported..monetarily. [18:20] ohh Sopor, there seems to be different versions of xchat, is there a specific one you'd suggest? [18:20] Lol. No.. Onglet.. Well, it's french. I search the english word.. [18:20] alright guys..when I took of the splash screen I got these messages...: Kernel alive, Kernel directing mapping tables..Buffer I/O error on device Fd0, logical block [18:20] joanki: do it 2wice [18:20] AdemiGOD : I'm using the 2.8.4 [18:20] It's pretty stable [18:21] Sp3c1alK: burn the cd slower as slow as possible, or try the alt cd [18:21] xchat common? [18:21] ADemiG0D, "xchat" [18:21] ok [18:21] Where is the alt cd? [18:21] below the others on the download page [18:21] Ah.. "Onglets" is "tabs" ( : [18:21] alright I'll try that out [18:21] xchat common gives all [18:21] thanks bbs [18:21] ADemiG0D, xchat-gnome is criticised for taking xhat and removing features :) [18:22] exactly jordonU [18:22] ahh ok [18:22] Does ANYONE here know how to get a Belkin Wireless G to work? [18:22] i'm installing right now [18:22] Jordan_U_: aren't most gnome apps notorious for that? [18:22] Jordan_U_: kde apps to some extend, as well [18:22] installing common will override it..no worries/. [18:22] lockd, ...yes :) [18:23] lockd, But you usually don't have such an obvious alternative :) [18:23] Jordan_U_: but kde still contains a control panel, now most stuff in gnome requires the whole registry editor [18:23] Basically, xchat seems to : http ://www. silverex.org/download/xchat.png but you can make it most beautiful [18:23] Jordan_U_: oh, you mean use xchat instead, of course [18:24] Ello mates [18:24] Does it matter if I have a USB mouse plugged in while trying to install ubuntu? or boot the live cd? [18:25] No. [18:25] Sp3c1alK: it can be a prob [18:25] kind of annoying you can't do a distro upgrade without upgrading everything- i could care less if wesnoth and quake gets updated [18:25] Ah? [18:25] cool [18:25] My mouse i payed 3€ ( about 3$ ) works very well. [18:26] xchat seems to work nicely [18:26] Xchat is cool [18:26] Pidgin is coll 2. [18:26] cool [18:26] is that the exchange rate now? YES! GO AMERICA! [18:26] Ubuntu_Rocks: it's called that in repo now? [18:26] Ubuntu_Rocks: it=gaim/pidgin [18:26] A_DemiGoD, Yep. The only one i found 'difficult' was the scripts-adding. But, that's not very useful. [18:27] whats that lockd [18:27] ya [18:27] 2.2.2 [18:27] I'm not an advanced user really, I just stumbled into an IRC room last night for Demonoid and enjoyed the convos [18:27] does anyone know of a way to do a minimalist do-release-upgrade? for future reference [18:27] I hope thet improve..it has many likenesses [18:28] Is Anyone uses "emesene" instead of pidgin? [18:28] I could see myself frequenting a room like this :P [18:28] Screw aol..it like vista is spyware. [18:28] lockd, are u using the upgrader or apt-get [18:28] HI all [18:28] Hi. [18:28] brb [18:28] hi rw [18:28] can someone tell me how to use a master volume control for xubuntu [18:29] ??? [18:29] hi vemion [18:29] Does skype support cameras? [18:29] vemion: you can update distro with apt-get? i've been using aptitude, and done the upgrade with do-release-upgrade [18:29] webcams? [18:29] is there any good tools for recovering my deleted NTFS on linux? any good livecd? [18:29] is there a way to easily set a boot password with grub? i don't want others to have the ability to boot my computer into safe mode [18:29] Hum, good question wac_ [18:29] haha thanks [18:29] think you can answer for me? [18:29] xD [18:29] right click spkr and preferences. [18:29] hadifranoud: knoppix [18:29] wheres speaker? [18:29] spkr? [18:29] or backtrack [18:29] botom right [18:30] I do not see spkr on bottem right [18:30] vemion: i saw instructions from gnome setup, and "server" setup, so just followed the simpler command line one (since i use KDE) [18:30] I see a recycling bin [18:30] thats about it [18:30] is there a way to change the window colors in xchat? [18:30] Is the alternate ISO any smaller than the regular ubuntu ISO? [18:30] system>pref.sound [18:30] i'm in prefs under colors [18:31] recon: hmm, i didn't think alternate was smaller [18:31] Hum, is any icon seeming to a speaker ? Or try to add it on the desktop [18:31] lockd: ok, then. [18:31] how do you issue a starttls command? evolution+gmail isnt working at the moment. i have all the username/passwords/servers correct just wont connect... what gives? thanks. [18:31] try [18:31] hmmm, the updater has check boxes next to the updates you can install. Uncheck the ones that you don't want [18:32] uswsusp says it recquires initramfs to be configured, is this already done in gutsy or do i need to configure it somehow? [18:32] the best way to be minimal is self discretion [18:32] okay I know where system is but there is no pref. let alone pref.sound [18:32] bluetooth01, Are you sure you taped your username, and not your complete adress?

[19:26] dkulchenko: you can't run games that require direct rendering (like tuxracer) because your card doesn't support it. There might be drivers available for it, check the restricted drivers manager, but I doubt. [19:26] fyrestrtr: it's a sis. but it all worked until a week ago when i forcibly killed a game using kill.

[19:37] it has no default resolution.. [19:37] the resolution is chosen by the OS [19:37] no one knows the answer to my question (above)? [19:37] hamish: seems its 1024x768 [19:37] hamish: sure it does :) [19:37] i very much doubt that. [19:37] it's 19 inches [19:37] hamish: all monitors do. [19:38] hamish: its a function of their refresh rates. [19:38] i had a problem with giganti fonts in the window title bar, and i fixed that by disabling visual effects...but it seems the visual effects are on the login screen still because the text in text boxes and the text on buttons are huge...and if i click a menu, the fonts are so giant that it fills the entire screen. any way to fix this? [19:38] does Ubuntu server come with desktop managers? [19:38] hamish: commenting our line 105 should fix your problem.

[19:39] fyrestrtr, can it be installed through apt-get? [19:39] Jordan_U_: correct. I have split my drive into two partitions. One was ntfs and the other unallocated space. Then I installed Windows XP on ntfs partition. Now I am trying to install ubuntu on unallocated space. However, gnome partition manager does not recognize the ntfs partition. Instead, it recognizes the entire drive as unallocated space.

I just tried typing it the way the instruction thingy said [19:41] nope [19:41] not fixed. [19:41] if I click switch user that should restart X server, right? [19:42] eeeandrew: 'chmod +x cleanlit.sh' is the command to make it so if it's not already, and then './cleanlit.sh' to run it.

I upgraded from feisty to gutsy and am having some problems. I'm sure the short answer is that I really should re-install gutsy from fresh, but I really don't have time right now. When I bootup with the latest kernel for ubuntu 7.10, which seems to be 2.6.22-14-generic - it loads the ubuntu screen briefly, then drops to a thing called BusyBox v1.1.3 and sits at the initramfs> prompt. When I choose the previous kernel v [21:14] 2.6.20-16-generic it seems to boot up ok. What have I done or what needs to be done to fix this? [21:14]

[21:18] usser: but will it be using all 4 cores? [21:18] delmar, indeed yes [21:18] marx2k: should of use astebin sorry [21:19] DeltaUK: it should have no problem with quad cores yes [21:19] delmar, I thought it was because i had to power off the machine during the upgrade [21:19] can some please explain the numbers in e2fsck's output: /dev/hdc1: clean, 2099/526944 files, 267026/1052249 blocks (check in 5 mounts) [21:19] I have also lost my second monitor and the fancy config tool just breaks things when I try to apply the second monitor.. but I wont go into that [21:19] hello everyone [21:19] Tybor, really? it said to power off during the upgrade? [21:19] DeltaUK: x86_64 as well as i386 should recognise quad core [21:19] hello thre, i install restricted video driver, restart computer it cannot boot correctly then a boc comes up saying "use low resolution" tick that then ubuntu boots, i go into restricted drivers and it says "not in use" and the "enabled" box has no tick in it??? [21:19] and which would u use?> [21:20] Tybor, once its finished for sure ... kernel upgrades and all sorts wont apply until the reboot is done. [21:20] but what I dont get is why the later kernel doesn't work [21:20] yeah, kernel upgrades don't work until next reboot [21:20] DeltaUK: unless of course u have more than 3,2 gb of memory in which case u'd be better off with x64 [21:20] i have a problem with amarok. it won't let me select alsa as the xine output plugin. in the dropdown list i only get "autodetect" and "esd" [21:20] delmar, no, I was forced to power it off because of personal issues [21:20] ok well i got 4gb [21:20] lol [21:20] so 64 it is [21:20] DeltaUK, nice system :) [21:21] ty [21:21] i dont even have it yet [21:21] hello thre, i install restricted video driver, restart computer it cannot boot correctly then a boc comes up saying "use low resolution" tick that then ubuntu boots, i go into restricted drivers and it says "not in use" and the "enabled" box has no tick in it???

[21:22] delmar, you got it. Almost. ACtually it was 1am and I had to get up by 6am [21:22] not too bad actually, the case was the most expensive single part [21:22] Jordan_U_ rtorrent is exactly what I am looking for, thanks!!

I'm migrating my server to a different distribution, but I want the ssh clients that try to connect to the machine to still think they're connecting to the same machine.

I can understand needing to turn off a potentially semi-loud humming device in the room u sleep in :P [21:22] Is it possible to connect to the internet via pppoe during a text install?

[21:27] I have an intel 2915 mini-pci wifi adapter [21:27] delmar, update-initramdisk and reinstalling the kernel is not a solution (I already tried) [21:27] urchin: You can change that in your repositories settings in synaptic [21:27] Tybor, looks like there are some bugs about this mentioned... must be a solution... [21:27] urchin: Check your settings in Synapitc. There is probably a setting for a CD. [21:27] Tybor, ok cool I will note that. [21:27] markx2k/ ok, will try [21:27] solarce: are you there?

[21:57] DeltaUK: Check the FAQ for 64bit Ubuntu at ubuntu.org.

I think Wine also, but as bradv said, check the faq.

[22:06] cyrano, try #vbox [22:06] do any of you run 'midnight commander' with a transparent background (with the default background of ubuntu 7.10) ? If so, could you paste the necessary lines? [22:06] anyone: if I creat a policy in firestarter does it stay like that even if firestarter is not running? [22:06] DeltaUK: Don't think so. I've done it before with no problems. Just install Windows first [22:06] Jordan_U_: I can follow this advice here to manually change the background colour... but as I said I'm looking for a more elegant fix to this apparent bug. [22:06] DeltaUK: doesnt make a difference [22:07] jorgenpt: blobwars [22:07] ArthurArchnix, What about changing the color of the solid background image ( it may display that before the actual background ) [22:07] jorgenpt: sorry... metal blob solid i meant [22:07] Jordan_U_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/160349 [22:07] I've been trying to get sshfs to mount a remote directory on boot and nothing I try will work. Does anyone in here know how to get sshfs to mount on boot? [22:07] ArthurArchnix, Ahh, so you know the cause, I didn't realize you were that far yet :) [22:07] Jordan_U_: If desktop is set to colour black, and greeter background is set to colour black, a brown desktop will be drawn between those two points. [22:07] hi [22:08] thanks [22:08] Printer driver help. Have a Lexmark multifunctional X2580 need driver. Can't get it to work [22:08] i have 1 SATA and 2 IDE's and i want vista on the sata and xp on 1 IDE and ubuntu on the other IDE [22:08] what order should i install? [22:08] setting the colour in the script is all that you can do :T [22:08] leo_rockw: Is it multiplayer? [22:08] all on seperate harddrives === greencoo3ie is now known as greencoolie === greencoolie is now known as greencookie [22:09] DeltaUK: I don't know which of the Windows first but I'd go with XP -> Vista -> Ubuntu [22:09] ArthurArchnix, Just to be thourough try enabling the entire bluebuntu theme ( go into System -> Preferences -> Appearance and any tab that has an option for bluebuntu, choose it ) [22:09] DeltaUK: XP, Vista, Ubuntu [22:09] jorgenpt: no, secret maryo chronicles and metal blob solid are sidescrollers [22:10] Hi [22:10] ok [22:10] What does this mean? [22:10] jorgenpt: blob and conqueror (metal blob solid 2) is a sidescroller goes 3D [22:10] Xlib: connection to ":1.0" refused by server [22:10] Xlib: No protocol specified [22:10] ok thanks [22:10] ArthurArchnix, I remember on an old machine ( with Edgy a while ago ) that I saw an intermediate blue, and I was using all bluebuntu at the time [22:10] is there any difference between kernel size and kernel.deb ? [22:10] yesterday I updated packages in gutsy - today xserver only starts in 640x480 and no mouse. How do I go one day back? [22:10] Ctrl_, .debs are compressed [22:10] i have a problem with amarok. it won't let me select alsa as the xine output plugin. in the dropdown list i only get "autodetect" and "esd". how can i tell xine to use alsa? [22:11] braam, Did you manually install ati / nvidia drivers? [22:11] braam, Rather than use the ones in the repos? [22:11] why is my display brightness set to minimum when i start watching a video with vlc? [22:11] can anybody give me a step by step installation of the latest ATI drivers? [22:11] Anyone know of a command line app that can make *private* .torrent files? I checked the man page for btmakemetafile and didn't find anything useful. [22:11] ok , so is it normal to have 136.5 MB off kernel image .deb ? [22:12] MI123645: the privative ones? sudo ./instal.sh i believe it is [22:12] MI123645: I can't but check out Phoronix.com if you don't get help here, you might find something. [22:12] There is a debian package I want to use in my ubuntu, is there a clean way to do this? [22:12] ok [22:12] like, tell synaptic to use the debian version instead of the ubuntu version from now on? [22:12] linux-image-2.6.23.8-_2.6.23.8--10.00.Custom_amd64.deb is about 136 mb [22:12] Anyone know how I do a stress test on the cpu/mem? [22:12] anyone have an Idea how to make a Lexmark all in one printer work??? Lexmark 2580 [22:12] MI123645, I don't reccoment the newest ATI drivers, they are notoriously problematic [22:13] so if i am using different hard drives for different OS's i wont need to make/resize any partitions? [22:13] MI123645, And even when AIGLX works, it doesn't work well ( slower than XGL in all cases ) [22:13] which drivers should i get then? [22:13] hi ubuntu guys [22:13] what i need do that in this web http://www.televysion.com/ i can watch video ? [22:13] am suse user [22:13] MI123645, The ones provided by Ubuntu [22:13] there are some problems with 10.3 [22:14] Jordan_U_: no I used the update daemon [22:14] MI123645, System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager [22:14] Jordan_U_: No... trying all the different ones was one of the first things i tried before filing a bug report. As I said I can edit the presession defaults to force a colour. I've posted it here. http://pastebin.com/m76a12285 What you'll notice if you read through, is that it tries to capture the background colour at least two times, only if every attempt to obtain the system themes backgroun colour fails does it then set a defaul [22:14] Hey all, I'm installing Fluxbuntu via Virtualbox. I'm at the partitioning stage [22:14] hey Parsi [22:14] i tried that, but they couldnt detect my card [22:14] so if i am using different hard drives for different OS's i wont need to make/resize any partitions? [22:14] Jordan_U_: I think this is an intel 915 chipset graphics driver [22:14] Mark761966: nice [22:14] hey leo_rockw [22:14] I don't usually partition, Joe, but I don't want to overwrite Xubuntu [22:15] braam, Are you using the "intel" driver? [22:15] i need help [22:15] I have a question about disk space; how do I free it? since deleting a file doesn't seem to work: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45510/ [22:15] Mark761966: tell me how you like it [22:15] What's the first choice I should make? [22:15] problems are these: i can't connect to the internet & 3d desktop is not enabled [22:15] braam, Or the older "i810" ? [22:15] Mark761966: ? [22:15] Jordan_U_: how can I find that out? [22:15] Jordan_U_: I wonder... could it be as simple as a path change... maybe the path to the theme that the presession is looking for has changed? [22:15] Guided: Use Entire Disc [22:15] Mark761966: do you have anything else on the disc? [22:15] ? [22:15] Paris arent you on connected to the internet now?! [22:15] Yes. Xubuntu [22:16] yes, but via Windows [22:16] Mark761966: no i mean in virtualbox [22:16] My keyboard is not working... or rather keyboards in general as I tried another... on Ubuntu. It happened after rebooting the computer [22:16] people got time for me? [22:16] good, stay with windos its better :) [22:16] Can someone tell my why this is happening when I'm trying to install http://www.furygamer.com/imghost/files/1/HPIM0434.JPG [22:16] nope [22:16] any tutorial on sharing folder using nfs ? (not samba) [22:16] Ctrl_ [22:16] How would I add more paths to this "PATH="/usr/bin:$PATH:/bin:/usr/bin", say I wanted to name another path. [22:16] i like linux [22:16] yeah? [22:16] I have gOS and Belenis in virtualbox [22:16] all for free [22:16] opensource [22:16] freedome! [22:16] braam, grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf [22:16] i preffer DOS and windDOS and yeah W@rz :) [22:16] jens, your df -h is in human readable format. if the file you are deleting is small, then the size may not go down enough to display... [22:16] !enter | Parsi [22:16] Parsi: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [22:17] However, the keys will work if I hold them done for 1.5 seconds. They also work within gdm and getty [22:17] Mark761966: yeah but they are in separate vm's right? [22:17] !ask | jabagawee [22:17] jabagawee: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [22:17] lol [22:17] sure [22:17] Yeah [22:17] Kr0ntab, it's around 350MB [22:17] bradv: shhhhh! [22:17] i just updated kubuntu to gutsy [22:17] Oh right, it's a virtual partition [22:17] and i lost wireless [22:17] Phew [22:17] 361269248 bytes actually [22:17] gutsy sux (beliave me) [22:17] jabagawee, Might try #kubuntu [22:17] hmmm [22:17] its mainly a ndiswrapper problem [22:18] not really a kde specific one [22:18] is gutsy better than suse 10.3 ? [22:18] if i install xp, then try to install vista as a dual boot, wont it just ask me to upgrade or will it give me the option to install in a seperate drive? [22:18] DeltaUK: make a separate partition for vista [22:18] i think , its will take over your XP [22:18] Jordan_U_: driver is intel, 945GM/GMS chipset [22:18] Parsi: I'm sure you'll get a yes in the Ubuntu channel and a no in the Suse channel ;) [22:18] Delta: then install there [22:18] DeltaUK: there is a Custom instal option [22:18] hi [22:18] DeltaUK: install* but i would partition before hand [22:18] hey guys when you add a custom theme, how do you find out if there is dependence need for that application? [22:19] ahaaaa! [22:19] unless you installed Grub + Vista Then XP *never tried it but it should work* [22:19] braam, Ok, can you pastebin the output of "glxinfo" ? [22:19] anyone know about ndiswrapper... [22:19] How do you make the wifi usb connector for the nintendo ds work...im using fistey [22:19] Parsi: It's purely opinion in most cases. I prefer Ubuntu in some aspects, such as package management. However, SUSE tends to be a more complete solution as far as the base package. [22:19] but i want the os on its own drive [22:19] there is "Kinternet" in suse, is there something similar for gutsy? [22:19] !ndiswrapper | jabagawee [22:19] jabagawee: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:19] Parsi: suse comes with kde, right? suse is better than ubuntu... now if you ask about Kubuntu... haha [22:19] Reng, Themes don't have dependencies, or rather, if it's a gnome theme the only dependency is that you have Gnome :) [22:19] i thought that would be easier seein as i dont have to resize anything just let it install as normal on a clean drive [22:19] Mark761966: if you want there is a fluxbuntu specific channel :) [22:20] i see, however, its kind of a specialized dproblem [22:20] Parsi: Well, KNetworkManager is the same thing on Kubuntu [22:20] oh! it's shit! [22:20] !ohmy | Parsi [22:20] Parsi: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [22:20] hey guys. i have a problem. my computer is really slow, it's a compaq so i'd expected it to be slow, but right now i'm thinking of installing ubuntu on it. the only problem is it doesn't recognize cd's and i tried to boot the cd at startup but it doesn't work. is there any other way i can install ubuntu on it without using a cd or a usb flash drive? because i don't have a big enough flash drive anywhere. [22:20] i can not detect my modem [22:20] HEllo, Can I ask you something, guys [22:20] ? [22:20] *it [22:20] the only way i can think of is disconnecting the other drives whilst i install the os on each hdd, then have it ask which hdd to boot from [22:20] hmmm [22:20] !ask | arielprogrammer [22:20] arielprogrammer: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [22:21] What do you really prefer Beryl or Compiz? [22:21] Delta: what you want to do is make enough partitions [22:21] I'm helping someone with virtualbox [22:21] Better go [22:21] Toxygen: Go into BIOS and see if CD-ROM is first in the boot order [22:21] arielprogrammer: compiz fusion ;-) [22:21] Delta: for all ur OSs [22:21] !beryl | arielprogrammer That's easy! [22:21] arielprogrammer That's easy!: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [22:21] toxygen: try booting from a flash drive [22:21] Bye Joe [22:21] Mark761966: bye :) [22:21] arielprogrammer: I have come to prefer Compiz, though Beryl seems to work better with KDE.. my expierence only. [22:21] hang on dude can we private convo lol [22:21] Delta: then install Vista to its own and use GRUB to boot to everything [22:21] !botsnack [22:21] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [22:21] krimx: i already did that. i made it first, but it still doesn't work. [22:21] !beryl | arielprogrammer [22:21] arielprogrammer: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [22:21] toxygen: try booting from a flash drive [22:21] Yummy: bot snacks. [22:22] wac_: the only problem is i don't have a flash drive big enough [22:22] I have compiz and I think it's better than Beryl [22:22] which one supports more hardware, suse or ubuntu? [22:22] hmmm [22:22] it's more stable than Beryl [22:22] you got another computer? [22:22] Anyone know how to get the nintendo ds usb wifi to work in ubuntu? [22:22] yeah [22:22] what about network boot? [22:22] i have 3 computers all on the same LAN [22:22] ArthurArchnix, I have confirmed the bug at least [22:22] Parsi: Kubuntu and Ubuntu did better with my hardware. Unfortuanately, SUSE doesn't have a live CD to test with. [22:22] tell me more, wac... [22:22] Parsi: The more important question would be which one supports Your Hardware.. [22:22] Parsi: For an unbiased opinion I suggest #linux. People here will have limited experience with Suse. [22:22] haha if I knew more [22:22] jawee, It does now [22:22] I know you have to have a server [22:22] or atleast a server prog [22:23] anybody wanna help? :P [22:23] hah, too advanced for me. :/ [22:23] Jordan_U_: Okay. I haven't messed with SUSE since openSUSE 10.1 :) [22:23] AQUAg33k: Here are some threads about it, tried those? http://www.google.se/search?q=site%3Aubuntuforums.org%20nintendo%20ds [22:23] Jordan_U_: glxinfo from the working or non working version (I booted it from the DVD now). Non working version also doesn't get network [22:23] jabagawee / What is your question? [22:23] hmm [22:23] I got it [22:23] jabagawee will u see what i said in the priv convo? [22:23] if all was ok in live cd can i install full version? [22:23] its a ndiswrapper breaking [22:23] braam, Non working [22:23] borrow the cd drive from one of your other comps [22:23] after a dist-upgrade [22:24] can someone explain this to me?: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45511/ [22:24] jabagawee, What chipset? [22:24] wac_: that is a good idea, but i don't really want to open any computers. it's a last resort, if it comes down to that. [22:24] hmm [22:24] Broadcom [22:24] hang on... [22:24] i didnt think i needed to mess aound with partitions if im letting the os use the whole drive [22:24] BCM94311MCG [22:24] what is some good gtk2 theme package to install? [22:24] cd roms are a dime a dozon..buy 1 [22:24] jens, Someone already did, maybe you missed it [22:24] is there any way i can use daemon tools to make it boot up at the start? [22:24] well, being black friday and all they have a 2g flash drive at best buy tomarrow for 15 dollars [22:24] no [22:25] ugh. [22:25] jabagawee, You may be able to get it working with native drivers [22:25] Jordan_U_, what krontab said wasn't the case [22:25] hmmm [22:25] i probably messed up everything [22:25] DeltaUK: i thought you said you wanted xp and vista? [22:25] hi [22:25] my modprobe.d/blacklist is all messed up [22:25] maybee [22:25] the file was around 350MB [22:25] !enter | jabagawee [22:25] jabagawee: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [22:25] sorry ): [22:25] if you set up a boot partition on your HD with partition magic and then putting only the CD on that part of the drive [22:25] jens, Is the file possibly still open in another program [22:25] ? [22:26] that could be the case yes... [22:26] I'm trying to install "WEPATTACK" and when I use: make clean && make && make install, I obtain this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45513/ [22:26] as far as i know, my wireless doesn't work natively with feisty. [22:26] i have multiple tuner cards and at every reboot, the cards change position. can someone point me to a FAQ or HOWTO that will assist me in solving this issue? [22:26] joejaxx: what i want in the end is, xp vista and ubuntu all on seperate hdd's [22:26] wac_: hmm... i think that might wor [22:26] work* [22:26] might [22:26] malajenho: That is offtopic.... [22:26] jens, In UNIX files aren't deleted from disk untill no processes have a handle on them [22:26] you got a spare you can through in? [22:26] Jordan_U_, but it doesn't apear on the disk anymore; so will it be gone after I close the program? or how do I get rid of it? [22:26] ok, thx Jordan_U_ :) [22:27] what? [22:27] Does anyone know if it's possible to set Mplayer to open files in half size instead of full size? I use it to watch HD movies and when not in full screen I want it to not go outside of the screen [22:27] jens, You can see what program has a handle on it with "lsof | grep "/path/to/file" [22:27] you have a spare drive you can through into your computer and use? [22:27] it would make it a hell of alot easier [22:27] yeah it would [22:27] i don't have one, though. [22:28] ah [22:28] Jordan_U_: Think I've got it. [22:28] well, I am all out of ideas now [22:28] hah, thanks for all the help [22:28] n/p [22:28] yep, I see it now. thank you verry much for making this clear to my Jordan_U_ [22:28] i don't think i'm getting ubuntu on my desktop :( [22:28] me* [22:28] Wish I had people who could test it though, because I'm curious to know if it creates any problems with themes that I'm not seeing. [22:28] Anyone got a solution to gnome popping asking about my keyboard if i want to use gnome or xserver settings, tho they are both set to the same? [22:28] anyone else got a bcm4311 card? [22:28] Jordan_U_: how do we get an xterm or similar without a mouse? [22:29] .... [22:29] jabagawee: Yes, several and all worked without ndiswrapper... I used fwcutter on all of them [22:29] Jordan_U_: Ctrl+alt+f1 [22:29] braam:Ctrl+alt+f1 [22:29] ah fwcutter [22:30] Jack_: Doesn't that only work at 11mbps speeds? [22:30] !broadcomm [22:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about broadcomm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:30] !broadcom [22:30] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [22:30] jabagawee: Ndiswrapper is the only way to go with that card [22:30] ah! conflicting statements! [22:30] do any of you guys use steam threw wine? [22:30] jabagawee: The link will show you the best way [22:30] jabagawee: blacklist the native bcmxx driver and use ndiswrapper === MOX_NOX is now known as alejandro [22:30] brandon_: yup [22:30] augh! [22:31] hi === alejandro is now known as MOX_NOX [22:31] brandon_: well I use it *through WINE =) [22:31] anythinng similar to Maple but free for Ubuntu? [22:31] old``: is it slow for you? [22:31] Jordan_U_: ok, now I need a display name to pass to glxinfo (ctrl-alt-f1 gives a console, not an xterm) [22:31] is there any type of software that boots iso images at the beginning of the startup process? [22:31] oli``: is it slow for you? [22:32] so fwcutter or ndiswrapper? [22:32] brandon_: not particularly.. starting it up is a little pokey, but once it's past that, the games are quite okay... not Windows-speed but close enough for it not to hurt too much [22:32] Gin: what's Maple? [22:32] jabagawee: ue fwcutter first. But I haven't had much luck with it personally [22:33] hmmm [22:33] jabagawee: The link shows how Ubuntu gets it working.. and that does NOT include ndiswrapper for that chipset [22:33] not too sure what driver to give it [22:33] jabagawee: You may have a different experience than I did [22:33] ugh... [22:33] fine, I'll try [22:33] Oli, it is a math program [22:33] Gin: http://www.maplesoft.com/whatismaple.aspx ? [22:34] oli``: its unbarible on my its a like a sec between the time I click the mouse and a shot of the screen happens its impossible to be good on it is tehre anything I can do to change that? [22:34] oli``: I just put it on so i have't done anyting yet [22:35] hi all, i'm so close to fixing this i can taste it but I have hit a wall [22:35] jabagawee: wl_apsta.o is what I used on all [22:35] okay [22:35] thnx [22:35] the default from the restricted drivers manager? [22:35] happy thanksgiving!!! [22:35] after i copy a particular file , it shows a little red x by the file and i cant open it [22:35] i had a dual boot drive with windows xp and ubuntu, when windows stopped booting i ran fixmbr on the drive (which overwrites the mbr to boot xp exclusively), but for some reason gparted is showing the drive as unallocated, which can't be right [22:35] so i think its currupt [22:36] * kane77 needs jaiku invite... [22:36] P-avilion: Its not corrupt. You just don't have permissions to it. [22:36] oh [22:36] its just html [22:36] how can i change that [22:36] P-avilion: More important, where are you saving that file.. ie which folder [22:36] P-avilion: In terminal, list the contents of that directory using ls -l. Use chown username filename to fix it. === ForeverZero is now known as sea4ever [22:37] whats a good graphical unarchiver for KDE? [22:37] Hi all, I'm back [22:37] im saving it in /var/www to be displayed with apache2 [22:37] P-avilion: You dont generally run into permissions prob unless you are outside /home [22:37] Clearze1: alt-ctrl-f1 gives a console. glxinfo -display 0:0 is refused access. I need a terminal on the X screen I think? [22:37] where can I find a disk manager in ubuntu? [22:37] Is this how it should work? http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/4929/screenshot2fs4.png [22:38] P-avilion: Jack_Sparrow is right. Did you copy it from another profile? [22:38] Discerer, install gparted [22:38] how do i change tovid videom.2 to mpg [22:38] i only have one profile, yes i copied from a folder on my desktop [22:38] ok thanks marx2k [22:38] but also another file, and it did not do the same thing [22:38] Discerer: define disk manager... I assume not just partition manager [22:38] smacky_: Try the package DeVeDe. [22:38] okay fwcutter works [22:38] brandon_: Can't say as I've altered any of the settings to get it running better here. Have you changed your sound driver in Wine's config? [22:38] Discerer: I like Thunar for managing files, itis lighter than Nautilus [22:38] doens't have to be advanced Jack_Sparrow [22:38] jabagawe1: Congratulations. [22:39] only works at 24mbps?

[22:41] No I had a question [22:41] !ask [22:41] Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [22:41] ask it, my child. ohmmmm.

[22:42] it is a good idea [22:42] Gin: It's an oldie so some software is bound to have matured more than others. They seem to be going for MuPAD in the thread [22:42] sayanora1818181: because it's always wise. :P [22:42] ok [22:42] sayanora1818181: Looks good to me. You're creating a swap, a root partition and a home partition, and leaving your other two NTFS drives intact. [22:42] sayanora1818181: yeah, looks like you're all good there. [22:42] I have a few more Q's. [22:42] I was told that order matters [22:42] sayanora1818181: And kudos for using a home partition. Everyone - look at sayanora1818181's setup. ;) [22:42] #creative [22:42] Should the "/" drive be where the "/home" drive is, and vice versa? [22:43] sayanora1818181: Won't make a difference. [22:43] no diff [22:43] It won't? That's good [22:43] Sorry, I am a bit slow today.. [22:43] What size best fits the "/" partition? [22:43] sayanora1818181: That's a lot of space. You have 1750 MB! [22:43] Yes. Mainly because I edit a lot of media [22:44] brandon_: you cant get sound at all? What's the current sound driver in WINE? [22:44] sayanora1818181: anything over 10 gig [22:44] So, 10 GB size for the "/" partition? [22:44] oli: alsa [22:44] brandon_: and does the test-sound button work?

[22:45] brandon_: try enabling driver emulation and seeing if the sound works (in game) [22:45] sayanora1818181: Your programs go into /. Your data and your config settings go into /home. Don't be too cheap on / [22:45] whats the command [22:45] pls [22:45] oh dear [22:45] P-avilion: rm [22:45] ty, im rusty [22:45] how can i install libtinyxml ??

For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire [22:46] thank you [22:46] DanielJones: use frostwire [22:46] there is a deb for it [22:46] Question: which paramter must I use to start a programm (from terminal) in tray or minimized? [22:46] sayanora1818181: I just checked and I have 150 gb for /. And 45 used. So, yeah, go a little bigger. Maybe 100. [22:46] Can i somehow make so that i can access my window disc with a shortcut ~/games/ -> /media/xxx/ so whenever i in a terminal are doing cd games/ it automatic send me into /media/xxx/ [22:46] sayanora1818181: It's a pita if you run out.

[22:48] It all would not fit into 10GB [22:48] sayanora1818181: then pick whatever size is appropriate [22:48] sayanora1818181: what programs are these?

[23:00] sayanora1818181: I think 150GB is perfect. The reason I like having a large / partition is so that I can later split it and install a separate OS (like the next version of Ubuntu), while keeping the same /home partition.

[23:26] I reported a bug and posted on the forum, but nobody seems to know anything, do you think I should post on the mailing list, are the developers there? [23:26] Pelo, next one is migrate docs and settings [23:26] skyvotka, did you compile the content of the archives ? [23:26] any help?

Welcome! [23:29] sayanora1818181, vista doen't play well with others, and it's not about the os settings, it's about stuff like browser bookmarks and emails accounts [23:29] sayanora1818181, jsut go forwards [23:29] Pelo: I have nvidia-settings, nvidia-xconfig, but it's making no difference. I don't see an option in nvidia-settings to raise the resolution any higher than 800x600. [23:29] So it's good? Sweet [23:29] this worked great in Gusty.. [23:30] What do you all use for your iPod?
