[00:00] fsckr: do you have cool effect? [00:00] Jordan_U: If it's indeed the multiple GPUs causing a problem, This could be a big problem since this is supposed to be a multimedia box! :P I'm not sure what would happen if it works without the other GPU :P [00:00] bkraptor: NP [00:00] #kubuntu [00:00] dont think so tommy` i dont even know wwhat the cool effect is [00:01] zomg cool effect === lucian is now known as LucianIndy [00:01] Hello all, is the attack on #Ubuntu over ? [00:01] fsckr: he must mean something to do with compiz/beryl? [00:01] LucianIndy: didn't know you were still around. [00:01] So I go to repositories to enable "them" what's them where do I find them? [00:01] Jordan_U: LjL: IndyGunFreak: So without the HDMI-out card, it works... I'm unsure what I can do about this though... maybe this is a motherboard issue... /me -> forums [00:01] NoobSauce, There is a way in your Xorg.conf to specify a specific PCI BUS ( I don't remember how ), that might get it working [00:01] Benalex: attack? [00:01] IndyGunFreak, here and there. still learning tho :D [00:01] LucianIndy: we all are. [00:01] hehe i dunno..i just went to open up my emerald manager to change my theme and the darn thing is blank LOL [00:02] froggy: repositories can be enabled in synaptic package manager [00:02] i just made my first usplash, successfully [00:02] NoobSauce: very wierd... [00:02] :) [00:02] LjL, Yeah there was an attack this morning... flooding attack [00:02] Is anyone here familiar with the freenode network? [00:02] can anyone suggest a pascal compiler for ubuntu? (or does it come with one already?) [00:02] I'm in the package manager in repositories... [00:02] kitche: well gspace (firefox ext) works [00:02] choudesh: are you back yet? [00:02] then I need to enable "them" [00:02] Benalex: err... yes, it's over, it was 12 hours ago =) [00:02] NoobSauce: i'd have never thought that, so you're using an onboard device now, right? [00:02] what is "them"? [00:02] using that than instead [00:02] I dont understand why people even use those silly beryl type gizmos. I mean, its not like it actually increases productivity or anything. Surely one has something better to do than watch pretty effects all day long? :) [00:02] fp-compiler is a pascal compiler on ubuntu [00:03] jsoftw: To show off to our windows friends. ;) [00:03] I have been thinking all the day, why would someone create a worm or a virus to attack Ubuntu??.. [00:03] jsoftw: I use compiz really just for true transparency for my terms :) [00:03] i'm still trying to figure out how to get both vboxdrv and nvidia-glx in the same kernel [00:03] kitche: why do you even need that though? [00:03] !ot | Benalex [00:03] Benalex: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:03] anyway... We are already here [00:03] umm, i can't find tremulous in my add/remove thing and when i got to their site the sourceforge link is dead any ideas? [00:03] IndyGunFreak: Well, yeah. There's on-board video which I guess I'm using now, and then there's this HDMI card that comes with the motherboard (it's not a regular card, it has a feed directly off the motherboard as well as PCI). I'm thinking this non-normal setup is what's causing linux to get confuzzled [00:03] anyone have any luck with cedega and oblivion under gutsy amd64? [00:03] jsoftw, its a perk [00:03] using beryl gives you bragging rights against windows users (in terms of eye candy) [00:03] :| [00:03] I just hope they fix that windows UDF dvd issue [00:03] jsoftw, Though it's mostly pointless there are some very usefull effects, and benefits to rendering windows as textures with GPU acceleration rather than with the CPU [00:03] soonish [00:03] NoobSauce: sounds it. [00:03] jarhy what issue? [00:04] jsoftw: I don't really but fake transparency's I hate [00:04] my dvd plays just fine 0_o [00:04] raulh: Did you enable all applications? [00:04] yes i did [00:04] i want to try kubuntu is it nessecry to reinstall kubuntu [00:04] IndyGunFreak: I don't want to rub it in, but as you can see, I actually wasn't doing anything wrong :) Don't be so quick to assume [00:04] Ubuntu can't mount DVDs made using the vista single/multi-session drag and drop file creation that uses UDF [00:04] NoobSauce: lol [00:04] raulh: Universe and multiuniverse? [00:04] LjL, ... I am here to ask about : How can I disable "Link to" prefix when creating shortcuts?? [00:05] I banged my head against a wall for 2 days trying to figure that out [00:05] skyfalcon866, No, you can install "kubuntu" on top of Ubuntu and vice-versa, they are just different sets of default applications [00:05] Benalex: no idea sorry, not on GNOME here [00:05] odd, seems you know much about this guide me D: [00:05] ok.. Can anyone tell me how can I disable Link to prefixing when creating shortcuts? [00:06] Jarhyn, Are you sure there is no way, or does it just not work "Out of the box" ? [00:06] does pygame create 3d games? =O [00:06] raulh: Can you get it now? [00:06] pretty damn sure. I even recompiled the kernel trying to get it to work [00:06] no [00:06] omg i found it lol [00:06] I fucked with fstab for 3 hours [00:06] !language [00:06] raulh: OK [00:06] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:06] rawr... [00:07] sorry, hard for a soldier to watch what he says. or types [00:07] is that the angry version of lawl? [00:07] unable to get expl\\clusive lock [00:07] umm 0_o [00:07] steve Jahryn Im sure I read a solution to vista UDF problem on gibson's grc webpage [00:07] no, it's the furfag version [00:07] I'll check that out then [00:07] thanks digitori [00:07] Benalex, I don't know if there is a preference in nautilus but you can always change the name afterwards or use "ln -s" directly from the terminal [00:07] Jarhyn : what exactly you are trying to do?? [00:07] raulh: Make sure you close all other apt-get/aptitude/synaptic/etc. [00:08] thers nothin g open === vis is now known as vis^ [00:08] make a ubuntu system mount a UDF volume made in windows vista [00:08] cept pidgin, firefox and add remove [00:08] nautilus :| === vis^ is now known as vis^^ [00:08] it's much harder than it sounds [00:08] raulh, Did one of those apps crash recently? [00:08] Jordan_U, it says mising parameter [00:08] windows vista doesn't exactly obey standards ruls very well [00:08] raulh: Hmm. Reboot should do it. [00:08] umm frostwire in packrger did [00:09] anyway, they're kicking me out of the intarweb space now [00:09] I'll be by later [00:09] Jarhyn, I use Storage Device manager to configure fstab, very simple full GUI awesome [00:09] hm... is recovery mode supposed to not being connected to a network? [00:09] ok restarting [00:09] hi guys , i need to install some newer versions of some software on a dapper system. can i use apt for this or can i just upgrade the packages with dpkg ? [00:09] Benalex, The syntax for ln -s is "ln -s /path/to/origianal /path/to/symbolic-link" [00:09] bbiab gonna see if this worked... [00:10] amason_: umm if there are dapper packages you can just use dpkg if not have to install them yourself [00:10] just get a pirated windows xp and get rid of vista, if microsoft won't trade you, it's only fair [00:10] Benalex, A symbolic link in Unix is basically the same as a windows shortcut [00:10] kitche: they aren't dapper packages afaik. [00:10] Jordan_U, I don't get it , What exactly ln -s does? [00:10] amason_: then compile or install them yourself [00:10] kit [00:10] or not. it still works outside the building [00:10] kitche: that wasn't my question [00:10] awesome [00:11] Okay, so performance of the ati driver (not fglrx) is crappy in Gusty, but was fine in Feisty. Is there anyway to downgrade the driver and or Xorg? [00:11] ahm hum restrictred-modules wasn't installed.. [00:11] kitche: if i compile from src, i don't want apt to complain on update [00:11] i just want it to skip that package [00:11] amason_: I answered your question then you told me they aren't dapper packages so I replied [00:11] question, and i don't' know if there's an easy answer to it. I know practically 0 about ubuntu, but i'm pretty good at computers, and i'm trying to help my husband out, who knows way more about Ubuntu than I do. He has ubuntu loaded on his pc with no problems at all, and then decided he wanted to partition it and load winXP on a secondary partiion so we could play games together (my main computer is winXP i know i suck) he was able [00:11] Benalex, It makes symbolic links ( shortcuts ) to files, it does the same thing that right clicking a file in nautilus and choosing "make link" does, but in the terminal instead of the GUI [00:11] so can anyone help me find my drive [00:12] amason_: dapper won't have new packages unless they are security updates [00:12] Jordan_U, ... Coool , thank you, I will read the manual of ln... "man ln" right? [00:12] storywarden, Did windows clobber GRUB ( Ubuntu's boot loader ) ? [00:12] well, time for me to go download furporn... [00:12] Benalex, Yes [00:13] It may have but he used a special cd he got to restore GRUB after the invasion of windows took over. [00:13] kitche: ok i'll reprhrase. i have the option to install src or some debian packages.I want apt to not complain on update, i just want it to ignore those packages. Can I blacklist these packages in apt ? [00:13] does anyone know how to un-hide the userlist so that it is part of the main window? [00:13] storywarden: So basically he wants to install windows after ubuntu? [00:13] amason_: of course you can [00:13] right [00:13] question : is it possible to play css-encrypted DVDs in totem using gstreamer? [00:13] kitche: thanks [00:13] zzz: that was a VERY helpful bit of advice - thank you. [00:13] and he has gone back through and reinstalled ubutu at least 4 times now and no luck correcting any problems. [00:13] Benalex, And remember that you want a symbolic link, not a regular link, regular links are not quite the same as shortcuts and can cause interesting problems if you don't understand them [00:14] Jarhyn: hey have you seen this http://www.groklaw.net/articlebasic.php?story=20070422083715451 [00:14] probably [00:14] movi, No, at least not the DVD menu [00:14] storywarden: See if this helps: http://knowledge76.com/index.php/Windows_-_Add_MS_Windows_to_Your_System76_Machine [00:14] if he installs ubuntu with the ethernet cable plugged into the pc then the installation of ubuntu freezes (he's guessing that it's trying to download or check something on the net)... also when he uses live cd's he has no routing at all... can't even telnet to our router. [00:14] Jordan_U, lets say i dont care about the menu [00:14] movi, I would just use VLC / Mplayer / gxine [00:14] storywarden: two questions, first - did he make the partition bootable? [00:14] Jordan_U, what im interested in is, what happens supposedly if i insert a commercial dvd, and in totem click "Play Dics" [00:15] Jordan_U, does it just start to play at first movie ? [00:15] i believe so. how would i be able to tell? he can boot between the two partitions. [00:15] Jordan_U, or does it flip saying a plugin is missing ? [00:15] storywarden, Has he tried the alternate install CD? [00:15] ok umm now i did [00:15] yes [00:15] second - if he did, do you need a menu.list file? [00:15] reboot, and it's downloading thanks odd [00:15] he's tried ubuntu based and non-ubuntu based. [00:15] ok.. another question.... under windows, to change current keyboard language I press alt+shift, and to change text direction I press Ctrl+shift.... can this be done under Ubuntu? [00:15] right now he's downloading a copy of fedora to try but he doesn't want fedora. [00:15] movi, I think the former, but I'm not sure [00:15] time for bed. snore! [00:16] Jordan_U, could you check please? [00:16] storywarden: Tell him to check the link i gave you ^ [00:16] movi, The problem isn't with commercial DVD's specifically, gstreamer can't display DVD menus for non DRM'd DVD's either [00:16] i'll have him do that. === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [00:16] how do i turn off the quit and join message in pidgin, i just want to read the messages and not the spam generated by quit/join prompts [00:16] thanks Odd+rationale... sorry i didn't see your response there [00:17] Jordan_U, yes, that much i know. however, ive gotten as far as playing .vob files (although for css encrypted the video is garbled) [00:17] Jordan_U, and what i want to know, is that button (Play Disc) only usable under totem-xine [00:17] storywarden: NP. You should just switch to Ubuntu instead. ;) [00:17] storywarden: what games are you playing? [00:17] thanks for the article. I was already aware that windows vista doesn't actually burn true UDF file structures though [00:17] he keeps telling me that but I am reluctant... I really like my windows (for the most part) but right now it wouldn't matter even if I did change... [00:18] otherwise it would WORK with ubuntu [00:18] so, I don't know if anyone answered this question (as I have been playing with XChat, starting and restarting): does anyone know if the devs will push an updated ati fglrx driver when one that's stable becomes available? [00:18] he can't get ubuntu to work. [00:18] I play a lot of the Unreals, Diablos, Harry Potters (i know kids game there) [00:18] we really try to play mainly first person shooters. [00:18] grr. I'm trying to install gutsy on my gateway/motion m1200 and the framebuffer is clearly not working [00:18] bkraptor_: package versions don't get updated only if there is a security fix really [00:18] he tried using WINE to run diablo but it wouldnt' work right. [00:18] bkraptor, its unlikely new drivers that are not just security fixes are gonna appear in the repos [00:18] movi, I believe so [00:18] check and see if they'll run under cedega [00:19] a lot of games can run better under wine if ya use a no-cd crack on them.. sadly :( [00:19] does anyone know how to disable the framebuffer? [00:19] quick question: what shal i use to mount NTFS harddrives, when i use ntfsmount it gives me permission denied [00:19] (my main hang up on windows is that I absolutely adore msOffice and Outlook) [00:19] okay thanks. I think it's odd they won't push an updated driver even if this would probably fix suspend/hibernate for everyone using the proprietary driver (myself included) [00:19] Jordan_U, any way i could get a confirmation ? [00:19] he was having a video issue it wouldn't do full screen. [00:19] theblock, try ntfs-3g [00:19] bkraptor, If it's truly stable it may end up in backports, the most recent one seems to cause more bugs for most people than it fixes though [00:19] i have it installed but dont know the command to mount [00:19] I'm trying to install alien on a laptop that has no net access atm, however by trying to download the .deb package it has dependencies and to install them they have dependencies etc. how can i download a package of alien that contains ALL the dependencies? [00:19] * Dr_Willis sends storywarden back to the asaylum for more shock theropy. [00:19] storywarden: look up openoffice.org [00:19] just add it to mounts in etc? [00:20] lol [00:20] storywarden, outlook office? man u weird :( [00:20] Jordan_U, because im actually doing this under Gentoo, and its different under Ubuntu, ill keep trying [00:20] Jordan_U: what's backports? :) [00:20] i have that on my pc right now... It's doable, but I dont' really like it.... *ducks* [00:20] movi, In what way is it different? [00:20] !backports | bkraptor [00:20] bkraptor: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [00:20] my hubby's just happy that I allowed him to put ubuntu on my kitchen pc. [00:20] I wast trying to get my svideo out to work with an ati video card. I tried using envy and now my desktop install is borked. I can after 7 minutes of loading get to a terminal, and I can load up the live cd and get to the contents of my drive, but is there a way to do a repair install for video? I tried doing an envy --uninstall-all and it didn't fix anything. [00:20] theblock, man it. should be as simple as ntfs-3g /dev/sda* /mnt [00:20] thanks [00:20] Jordan_U, eg that the Play Disc button actually works somehow in totem-gstreamer [00:20] hey guys, just a quickie, would you recommend gutsy over dapper for a clean server install? [00:21] evolution keeps crashing on me when attempting to view a groupwise calendar, i get a segmentation fault error - eany suggestions? [00:21] storywarden, hubby as in husband? [00:21] usser: [00:21] yeah [00:21] Error opening partition device: Permission denied [00:21] Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Permission denied [00:21] storywarden: You should be proud of him! He's trying to save you money. [00:21] so, gutsy over dapper? [00:21] i know he is [00:21] storywarden, wow u keep in tight cage. [00:21] I finished programming a Boggle clone for Java class :3 [00:22] humblerodent, whats a boggle clone? [00:22] humblerodent, i finished programming a gui to ffmpeg for java class [00:22] Can you put ubuntu on an asus eee pc ? [00:22] emma, Yes [00:22] emma, yea [00:22] emma: Need link? [00:22] choudesh? [00:23] Sure [00:23] emma, its gonna be slow pbbly though [00:23] just right now he's about ready to throw the whole thing out the window because he just wants ubuntu back, willing to say screw the games but we can't get it to reinstall with the ability to browse to the depositories or to our router (which is running ... i can't remember what... the linux for router thing)...

(Sorry, I just saw your message.) [00:24] evolution keeps crashing on me when attempting to view a groupwise calendar, i get a segmentation fault error - eany suggestions? [00:24] how dangerous is it really to activate backports? [00:24] bkraptor_: umm it's not dangerous at all === LoCo is now known as LadyLike [00:25] storywarden, So it worked when first installed, then he installed windows on another drive, tried to restore grub but for whatever reason ended up re-installing Ubuntu completely and this time the install left a not fully working system? ( trying to make sure I understand the situation ) [00:25] so if I activate backports, do I have to disable normal updates? or is the system smart enough not to play ping-pong with the different versions ? [00:25] usser: Boggle is a word game with dice [00:25] I find the game boring, personally, but it was fun/challenging to program [00:25] bkraptor, It's smart enough [00:25] thanks [00:25] hi..all [00:25] humblerodent, nice [00:25] i got problem with flash player in gutsy gibbon [00:26] bkraptor_: it uses whatever version is higher pretty much unless you have some odd package that actually decreases when it's updated [00:26] so those updates that appear under Distribution are the normal updates? [00:26] does anyone know if the pendrivelinux QKUB works with gutsy gibbon [00:26] it worked when first installed, then he installed xp on the same drive on a 80GB partition. Then he restored grub, so he can boot between windows and ubuntu but now ubuntu can't route to our router, nor can it route to the depositories for updating packages (the package managers don't work and neither does going through the url's ) [00:26] i do compile and manual install but still not solve the problem [00:26] what should i do? [00:27] once he found that he couldn't route, he then reinstalled Ubuntu [00:27] (windows parition was still there) [00:27] !flash | LadyLike [00:27] LadyLike: 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 [00:27] thanks [00:27] right now he's attempting to completely reformat (bye bye xp) and is having the same [00:27] clear [00:27] okay so i've got a new problem, the system seems to lock up at random intervals [00:27] LadyLike: You should not need to compile flash yourself (unless you want to.) [00:28] btw, does anyone know why VMware Player keeps coming up as an update even after I update it? same version every time [00:28] i already install .. but it's not working [00:28] so decided to compile [00:29] LadyLike: the easiest way, i believe, is to install flash by searching for restricted in Add/Remove [00:29] LadyLike: it doesn't really have to be *compiled* per se... [00:29] bkraptor: did you try poking it with a stick, that would be the extent of the help i can give you [00:29] even if you download it. [00:29] storywarde: try http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/ [00:29] Nevermind [00:29] ) [00:29] so..it should be working in gutsy..because last time i cannot view the thing that use flash [00:29] FangLiger: no, but thanks for the suggestion :) [00:29] evolution keeps crashing on me when attempting to view a groupwise calendar, i get a segmentation fault error - eany suggestions? [00:30] ok.. [00:30] i have samba installed and i have shared folders - but i still cant see it on my windows xp computer [00:30] any ideas [00:30] thanks a lot [00:30] storywarden: I would try this. Install ubuntu and select "Use entire disk" then follow the steps in the wiki I gave you. OR Install XP and use the entire disk, and install ubuntu using the "resize partition" slider. [00:30] LadyLike: what file did you download from Adobe's site? [00:30] anybody knows where i can get libopenal.so.0 for kubuntu 7.10 32bit? [00:30] is there anyway to create a non journalized HFS+ partition using only Linux applications like Gparted etc? [00:30] ata4ix: probably openal [00:30] IndyGunFreak:: tar.gz [00:31] the error we run into when we're trying to reinstall now (using entire disk) is that it freezes during the install because it can't access the network. [00:31] This may seem premature but I have heard of problems with the onboard intel 82845g graphics in ubuntu I was wondering if there is a fix so I can be ready before I install [00:31] storywarden: I did the second option on my friend's PC. So far, everything works fine. [00:31] LadyLike: ok, extract it, and follow the instructions to install it, its honestly pretty easy [00:31] choudesh? [00:31] ok..thanks to u all [00:31] is there any reason why ubuntu can route to web pages just fine but can't route to our router or to the depositories? [00:32] depositories.. :) [00:32] storywarden, *repositories [00:32] thanks [00:32] kitche, i have amd64 system, but need the libopenal.so.0 32bit for the some pogram [00:32] at least I didn't say supositories. [00:32] where i can get it? [00:32] (i really can't spell) [00:32] lol, true. [00:32] storywarden, Can you pastebin the output of "tracepath google.com" ? [00:32] storywarden: or you didn't say, "ubunto" which nnoys me to death [00:33] ata4ix: from openal 32bit package [00:33] so anyone have any idea why my system keeps locking up, could it be something to do with my nvidia drivers? [00:33] where is based? [00:33] true... but i do typo a lot. [00:33] 32bit package? [00:33] i can get it from ineT? [00:33] um... how would li pastebin?

[01:20] mikecables, did you install the other driver using the 'restricted drivers manager'? [01:20] mikecables: there is a reconfigure x command, i forgot what it is.. dpkg something...

I used the methods outlined at Matrox, and the driver IS faster, but some apps don't work, and I want to roll back to see if they do afterwards. [01:21] mikecables, ahh, I don't have a matrox video card, so I can't help you with their own drivers, unfortunately [01:21] mikecables: you probably could just use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:21] Benalex: They are correct hotmail removed thrid party access...ive just tried it [01:21] mitch00: why would you want to do that?

[01:22] underwatercow: what are you trying to do? [01:22] h1st0: that's it [01:22] Anyone know the command to start the fglrx-control ? [01:22] underwatercow: What type of computer do you have? Did you build it did someone else? Is there a model number? [01:22] miles8, did you try fglrx-control in the terminal ? [01:22] If I use that command, will it try to redetect and use what it did initially, because I did a few other things with the graphical version, and the driver never changes or it corrupts the scree. [01:22] Benalex: Third party access means using a program, example evolution to access your mail [01:23] jrib: i'm trying to make my calnder display 7 columns instead of 6 where sat/sun is displayed as one. are you saying i'm not doing this right? [01:23] Benalex: third party access = evolution, kmail etc...keep trying what your doing someone else says it works [01:23] h1st0: I built it, but I can't remember the make or model, lol [01:23] also if it makes any difference we can telnet to the router but we can't browse to it via firefox... [01:23] mitch00: go to /apps/... not /schemas/apps/... [01:23] h1st0: it shows on the bios splash screen doesn't it? [01:23] Pelo, yes, I would have thought it would be that, but no such command is on the machine, and I did install the package [01:23] we did the tracepath to google.com and everything went through fine.

[01:31] chimp, If it's a windows machine just look at the URL's in the script ( The script is just "wget -c a bunch of times ) [01:31] zdh: what's so great about it? [01:31] chimp: are you sure the packages aren't in apt? [01:31] zetheroo, cd to the folder where the setup.sh file is , then type sudo sh setup.sh [01:31] yes they are [01:31] but i didnt have net access [01:31] hence i had to download them off another puter, transfer them accross etc. [01:32] ok, well I would sugge3st to use this script to download the ubuntu sdl_mixer package,s not alien to install rpm's [01:32] Hence i can now skip the rpm step because of jordans suggestion [01:32] aces [01:32] cheers :) [01:32] chimp: ok good :") [01:32] chimp: well you want just he debs then. No need to download alien then download the rpms.

[01:33] then i cancel and it brings up a window with the correct URL (the one you can get it), saying it couldn't not download all suppository indexes.

[01:39] h1st0: hit Ctrl-A then Ctrl-I to switch to that lower empty window, then you can use normal screen commands to select a window for that "region" [01:39] vn, compiz is already instaled in gutsy and enable if your hardware can handle it [01:39] digitori: i know, i tried the hotmail with thunderbird without success, then googled it to find out microcock dosent like their free users ;p [01:39] Benalex: Do yourself a favour and switch from hotmail...its suggested gmail may accept third party programs like eveolution. [01:39] Benalex: digitori yeah gmail supports normal pop and imap access [01:40] Pelo: I used to have beryl perfectly in Edgy..why not in Gutsy? [01:40] zdh: it was one of those things i had to see for myself...probably cause it was microsoft [01:40] maybe I have something to configure in xorg.conf or...?

Make sure you do not run gui apps with sudo. To fix this, as your user, do: sudo chown -R $USER: ~/.config [01:49] Pelo: My Graphics problems have gone away by creating a new user, so its something with my old profile..oddly enough [01:49] digitori: tell me ... can you access your hotmail account from outlook??... this option is not available for new accounts?

I appreciate it. [01:51] Tech-Mike: usually due to gui apps being run as sudo [01:51] sudo aticonfig [01:51] ?

[02:00] cuz i cant find any [02:00] so that would lead me to believe the package doesn't exist, but everyone's saying it doesn't. I tried "sudo apt-get update" but it goes really quick [02:00] cythrawll, what did you do to get it this away ? [02:00] mikeooo: that's not necessary or recommended [02:00] mm i thout its installing other os :P [02:00] maybe my apt-get database is old or whatever but I don't know any other way of udating it other then that [02:00] mikeooo: pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:00] SavageOne: go to system->administration->software sources and make sure that all of the repos are checked [02:01] what does "You now have to configure xorg to use your graphic card. The aticonfig tool, provided with the driver, will do that for you (aticonfig does not seem to work for Gutsy Gibbons):" mean??????? [02:01] SavageOne, check in synaptic enable multiverse and backport , and try again [02:01] robdig: I'm working from command line [02:01] it's in universe actually [02:01] froggy__: its self explanatory, aticonfig doesn't work with gutsy, what part of it do you not understand?

I have a 4 File ruby script that I wrote for a school project. I want to put a folder with those 4 files somewhere and then link to the main file in /usr/bin. Where would I put the source? [02:01] cythrawll, that is all you did ? [02:01] SavageOne: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment universe (in gutsy, gutsy-updates and gutsy-security), then sudo apt-get update [02:01] * IndyGunFreak laughs at Pelo's disbelief [02:01] Pelo, the live cd worked fine, after boot after initial install it has been broke [02:01] so how do I install 3d graphics and rendering?? [02:01] cythrawll, what's this machine like ? cpu mem , etc ? [02:01] SavageOne: then edit /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure the repos are un-commented [02:01] ahhh Ljl thanks! [02:02] does anyone know the command to change the mac(hardware) address of your pc's NIC? [02:02] i recently[just now] dist-upgraded my machine to hardy hebron [02:02] froggy__, did you check the forum on this ? [02:02] froggy__: that i really don't know. [02:02] mattbot: normall you put all ruby class files in the ruby library directories (don't know where those are atm) then put a file that runs the program (shell script, or simple ruby script that starts some classes) in /usr/local/bin [02:02] * robdig thinks LjL has fast fingers :) [02:02] storywarden: I think this is in the hardware itself and cannot be changed [02:02] how does froggy configure his ati if aticonfig doesnt work [02:03] mattbot: and you should use /usr/local/bin not /usr/bin to not clash with anything from apt by accident [02:03] crdlb: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46649/ [02:03] mattbot: leave /usr/bin alone, you're not supposed to touch that. you could put the "executable" script in /usr/local/bin, and the "library" scripts in /usr/local/lib. if that's the way they're modularized.

[02:12] hi, i have a question. now that we have an actual choice, would you choose using ntfs over fat for a partition to be used by ubuntu and windows, or stick to the good old fat? [02:13] sorry indy u still there? [02:13] jrib - u there man? [02:13] sexcopter: i'd use ext3 :) [02:13] adamonline45: do you have wlan0 config lines in /etc/network/interfaces? [02:13] LjL, and how would you use that in windows? [02:13] my sound card is Intel Corporation 82801H [02:13] conky is starting to piss me off lol.. it FLICKERS when compiz is on. no matter what i do ( not conky itself ) but makes compiz windows flicker where the conky lies beneth. [02:13] sexcopter: I suggest NTFS... more secure than fat [02:13] sexcopter: i can't imagine wanting to use fat over ntfs in such a situation. although... [02:14] sexcopter: plenty of ways, just google "ext2 windows" and "ext3 windows" (ext2 drivers work, as well). [02:14] !ext3 > sexcopter (sexcopter, see the private message from Ubotu) [02:14] sexcopter: I use NTFS for the Windows system itself, but put all user data on ext3. [02:14] I have some problems with gdm, can someone help? [02:14] basically, i have a fat partition from ye olde times, and just wondering if it's worth changing it to ntfs [02:14] kelsin: no, but I don't have eht0 in there either, and it works fine. Do you know the syntax of what I should add? [02:14] htmldotcom: tell us your problems, and find out, buddy. [02:14] I tried installing, but its the newest version of gdm. [02:14] sexcopter: you can use ext3(linux files system) with windows using Ext2IFS utility , but it is not working 100% [02:15] Well I tried installing KDE alongside with gnome by typing "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" and it installed, but after that, gdm wont load [02:15] Benalex: what doesn't work about it for you? [02:15] adamonline45: from the command line you should be able to just do "iwconfig wlan0 essid BLAH" then "dhclient wlan0" to bring it up as well, if you need examples for /etc/network/interfaces you can check out "man interfaces" [02:15] Benalex: I've also heard that that software isn't 100% safe with data [02:15] anyone know how to fix this? [02:15] mikeooo: fix what [02:15] kelsin: Do you know how I'd find the essid number? [02:15] htmldotcom: does kdm load? does sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start not bring it up? [02:16] mike@mike-linux-laptop:~$ glxinfo | grep direct direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect mike@mike-linux-laptop:~$ grep -i aiglx /var/log/Xorg.0.log(==) AIGLX enabled (EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable [02:16] I didnt try loading kdm. [02:16] sexcopter: No it is safe... but sometimes you won't be able to delete some files and have to reboot to linux to delete them , which of course may be forgotten and may get you in trouble ;) [02:16] adamonline45: if you don't knwo the essid of the wireless router you're trying to connect to then there's a big problem [02:16] mikeooo ATI? [02:16] intel x3100 graphics [02:16] gma965 [02:16] Benalex, no dice [02:16] mikeooo have you installed the driver? [02:16] i thought it was included [02:16] adamonline45: you can type "iwlist wlan0 scan" to scan for newarby access points [02:16] cythrawll: paste ur menu.lst in private please [02:16] if it isn't where can i find it and install it [02:17] running .22 [02:17] So you think I should try to run kdm? [02:17] .22-14 [02:17] mikeooo for 3d? im not sure. should be in synaptic if that, but i dont know anything about intel gfx :( sorry [02:17] supposed to be supported by the kernel since .22 [02:17] idunno. oh my kitchen is on fire. sorry. got to go. [02:17] gdm definitely does not start. It just gives me a busy symbol that I can move around. [02:18] sexcopter: what size is that fat partition? [02:18] oh, dont call his partiton fat. :D [02:18] Benalex: it's currently 40gig, but i might be growing it by 15 or so some time soon [02:19] htmldotcom: LoL... [02:19] :p [02:19] sexcopter: 40gigs partition??? [02:19] xserver-xorg-video-intel is installed [02:19] sexcopter: formated in FAT???... I don't think so [02:19] so how do i enable direct rendering [02:19] how do i delete a load sequance [02:19] the driver intel is being used too in xorg.conf [02:20] Benalex: how come not? [02:20] bye for now all [02:21] someone pls help, im trying to install alsa drivers but after i run ./configure i got error " [02:21] "The file /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h does not exist." [02:21] sexcopter: well I can't recall what max size FAT fs could be... but I doubt it is 40 (forty gigs) [02:21] Benalex: it can be much bigger since I assume sexcopter would be using FAT32 [02:21] lol sexcopter [02:22] oh yeah, this is vfat/fat32, i'm fairly sure [02:22] kelsin: Alright, I got my essid. When I try to connect to is using iwconfig wlan0 essid the_essid, it says nothing, and naturally dhclient fails. [02:22] question [02:22] how do i fix [02:22] The 'Manual' browser command has been chosen, but no command has been set. [02:22] in pigin [02:22] adamonline45: does it list an access point with essid when you just run "iwconfig" now? [02:22] fat 32 can be up to about 8 terrabytes [02:23] adamonline45: and also what error with dhclient, just timeing out? [02:23] anybody know how to solve a problem where gdm isnt loading? (im reasking, lol) [02:23] sexcopter: anyway... since it is 40 gigs, move to NTFS... for more security and better space utilization [02:23] condon: devede worked alright? [02:23] 8 terrabytes using cluster size 0f 32 KB [02:23] anyone here manage to get wow to work with wine? [02:24] Benalex: okie doke, i'll see to it [02:24] thanks for all your help guys [02:24] tds5016: what errors are you getting? [02:24] kelsin: Yeah, the dhclient just gets no dhcp offers. iwconfig still says 'ESSID off/any', and access point is 'not-associated'...

I've tried to install it. for some reason it breaks. I'm going to start reinstalling.

[02:29] I'll have to reboot and see if this computer even beeps [02:30] smooker_: is your sound card not included in the ubuntu alsa packages? [02:30] where is the failsafe xconfig configured?

[02:30] Benalex: indeed [02:30] mikeooo: isnt there anytyhing in the ubuntu forums about your graphics card? [02:31] i know my sound card is nVidia MCP61 HDA, and its supported by Alsa drivers.. [02:31] the error you're getting is because you don't have the kernel headers installed, I would advise trying to solve the problem without installing alsa from source, that will most likely lead to further issues [02:31] yeah but other people have direct rendering enabled by default [02:31] So any one have a Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02) wirelcard ?

[02:39] yeah [02:39] yea [02:39] yeah [02:39] Tech-Mike, nope. if you find a fix tell me :) [02:39] vb yes [02:39] works great [02:39] Is there anyway for me to have Virtualbox get an ip address from the router? [02:39] nDevastator : I think this is what you want http://odf-converter.sourceforge.net/blog/ [02:39] /server irc.irchighway.net [02:39] set it up as nat [02:39] and it should work [02:39] Anyone can look at this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46650/" and tell me what's the problem is [02:39] it should convert docx documents to something openoffice can read [02:39] I do have it setup as a NAT for the Windows HOST OS [02:39] but it always gets a 10.0.x.x. address [02:40] inside windows it should just grab it from DHCP [02:40] tell me if that's not the right thing, nDevastator [02:40] i had to do some crazy stuff when i set mine up [02:40] doh [02:40] how do i set where crontab emails are sent?

First off, when I boot up with my External drive plugged in, I get GRUB error 15 error, it has a single ext3 partition, and I believe the bootable flag is off, any help?

[02:45] Sorry about that... never mind.... technical screw up... problem between keyboard and chair ;-) [02:45] help, how to set LCD refresh rate? === DM is now known as Delvien [02:45] transience: compiz fusion is installed on gutsy by default, you can try to turn visual effects on (and maybe start debugging after) in the Appearence menu [02:45] hello, I try to edit my .bash_profile but any changes i put in there do not work [02:45] Ashfire908: yeah [02:45] kelsin, k [02:45] mavric200, I get "Converting audio files failed." [02:45] anybody else in this channel know howto fix /home/user/.config/autostart (gnome-session-properties) prob? [02:46] so it obviously is trying to convert the files [02:46] kimberly: try k3b [02:46] tumbleweed__ http://www.sigmundvoid.com/?p=81 this is what i wanted i think [02:46] is compiz fuzion the same as beryl? [02:46] what the heck is the point of serpentine then? [02:46] transience: beryl merged into the compiz fusion project [02:46] yup [02:46] beryl and compiz fusioned to become compiz-fusion [02:46] that's the one [02:46] * mavric200 has never used serpentine [02:46] serpentine is possibly the biggest piece of crap I have seen [02:46] hello, can gparted resize a ntfs partition without losing any data? [02:46] ubuntu != easy [02:46] I read about it a while ago, but never used it, so you'll have to excuse me ;) [02:46] my tty1 locked up is there a way to get it back? [02:46] brdx: yes, but make sure to backup [02:46] scottybea: what changes aren't happening? also just to double check are you closing your term and opening it again after saving .bash_profile? [02:46] kimberly go on to repos and get k3b [02:47] thanks, scguy318 [02:47] yes k3b is great for burning anything and everything. [02:47] Its not even showing that i'm logged in on it via who. Just not sure how to restart it? [02:47] stupid custom kernel is taking ages to build [02:47] well i added some simple alias's and there not working [02:48] scottybea: to clarify, you did close and open the terminal again correct? Can you paste you .bash_profile in pastebin? [02:48] !pastebin | scottybea [02:48] scottybea: 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) [02:48] so is there a way to reload audio drivers somehow? any ideas on how I can troubleshoot my audio not working all of a sudden? The alternative is to restart. [02:48] Pir8: you could reload the module [02:48] restart your computer and it'll probably work [02:48] Pir8: you can check system logs in /var/log and dmesg [02:48] Pir8: or make sure stuff isn't muted with alsamixer [02:48] pastebin ? [02:49] I'm having trouble getting the Nvidia drivers enabled on my usb flash drive gutsy installation [02:49] scottybea: ubotu (the bot) just explained it to you [02:49] fuzz yes mostly that is the case, but its odd why it does so sometimes [02:49] lol yea i know but how do i do it [02:49] Does anyone have a bootable flash drive installation of gutsy? [02:49] scottybea: I would suggest clicking on the link, pasting the contents of your .bash_profile into the text window then clicking ok then pasteing the link to me in the channel here [02:49] also kelsin can we have our own chat window? [02:49] alright [02:49] Pollman: what sort of trouble are you having? [02:50] scottybea: no [02:50] !pm | scottybea [02:50] scottybea: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [02:50] ashfire908 i found a fix [02:50] is it possible to load default audio settings which come with the cd ? [02:50] Pir8 : try ctrl+alt+backspace instead of restarting, it just restarts X, and may solve your problem, if not, you'll have to restart [02:50] tumbleweed__, indeed and I am trying to avoid having to do that too :) [02:50] heh [02:50] h1ist0 I go to the desktop effects window and set them to full which enables them [02:51] well, if you do ctrl+alt+backspace, and it really IS your audio drivers, the sound still won't work, so try it and see [02:51] ashfire908 rm ~/.config/autostart ...then mkdir ~/.config/autostart [02:51] that way we know what the problem is [02:51] But I need to restart, and after I do that but it asks me to restart again [02:51] ashfire908 it saved changes anyway - ima restart now to do a full test brb [02:52] kill -9 [02:52] teehee [02:52] I have a problem with Beryl and Ubuntu Desktop Effects, whenever I try to enable them, my screen just goes white and I can't see anything. Then I have to guess at where the box is to turn it off and do it without seeing anything. Anyone know what my problem it is? [02:52] alright i pressed paste now what? [02:52] scottybea: paste the link in here so I can see your .bash_profile [02:52] htmldotcom : don't use desktop effects?\ [02:52] * tumbleweed__ shrugs [02:52] hist0, do you have a usb flash drive installation working? [02:52] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46652/ [02:52] like that? [02:53] anybody know a program like photobooth for ubuntu? [02:53] htmldotcom: what type of card do you have? [02:53] scottybea: yes [02:53] tumbleweed__: I like them? lol === Nematocyst_ is now known as Nematocyst [02:53] I've got two Gutsy machines networked via gigabit ethernet and I just tried copying large files between them. As I was transferring, I popped open System Monitor to view the transfer rate. I got about an average of 8.0 MB/s on the transfer. Any ideas what the problem is? I doubt if gigabit ethernet is suppsoed to be this slow... [02:53] pianoboy...its called gimp...learn it lobe it [02:53] *love [02:53] oops... I should mention that this is a Samba transfer [02:53] performed via Nautilus [02:53] dark_ninja: I have an ATI Radeon Xpress 200M graphics card, and my configuration is the default for Ubuntu 7.04 [02:54] I didnt install any extra drivers, I mean [02:54] you might wanna install 'em then [02:54] and upgrade to 7.10 [02:54] Does anyone have a flash drive installation of gutsy? [02:54] so what do you think? [02:54] tumbleweed, i concur [02:54] scottybea: those aliases are fine, so after you saved the file did you open up a new terminal? so that bash loads in the new changes? [02:54] bthornton: try nfs or maybe an ftp insteed [02:54] is it possible to use netboot thru wifi? [02:54] funny how a older ver of ubuntu(6.06) my sound card works fine, but on the two newer versions it doesnt [02:54] theres a restricted driver called ATI-3D or something, and its disabled by default, but I dont want to enable it because it might screw me up? [02:54] Kornholijo : no [02:54] tumbleweed__: why [02:54] ashfire908 it worked [02:55] yea i did [02:55] Tech-Mike, k [02:55] I'm not sure on the specifics [02:55] i actualy logged out and back in [02:55] Anyone know how I can trouble shoot why my PC speaker isn't working in ubuntu? [02:55] I just know you're not able to [02:55] what from? [02:55] 7.04 is not long support. 7.10 has more added [02:55] I would get extra drivers, but I dont know anything about them. [02:55] I've tried :P [02:55] bthornton: if it's two gutsy machines use scp on the command line, so you can transfer just with ssh [02:55] if you want long term, downgrade to 6.06 [02:55] very few BIOSes support it, if any [02:55] I should note that this is not a pure gigabit network--there are 100 Mbps devices hooked into the gigabit switch. This won't down-throttle everything down to 100 Mbit, will it? [02:55] htmldotcom: you can use synaptic to get the fglrx drivers [02:55] bthornton: no [02:55] they might help you [02:55] wease|: or wait for the next version of ubuntu is lts [02:56] tumbleweed__: pxe wifi? [02:56] gigabyte has an awesome linux BIOS [02:56] because there is little to no BIOS support for wifi itself [02:56] very handy [02:56] well looks like ctrl+alt+backspace it is :( [02:56] bthornton: ofc it will down-throttle it to 100mbit :p [02:56] kelsin: Doesn't that add in encrypt/decrypt overhead? [02:56] tumbleweed__: aah ok [02:56] fghrx? whats that? [02:56] bthornton: it should still give you close to gigabit, I would assume much less overhead than nautilus / samba [02:56] i also have a file named .bash_profile~ for some reason [02:56] anyone else here have problems with serpentine? [02:56] is ssh activated in gutsy by default? [02:56] bthornton: we get gigabit transfer rates with it at work all the time, so the overhead would not transfer slower than 8 :) [02:56] Does anyone have Gutsy installed on a flash drive with compiz-fusion enabled? [02:56] anybody know a program like photobooth for ubuntu? [02:56] !anyone | kimberly [02:57] kimberly: 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? [02:57] vn : I believe so [02:57] scottybea: that's due to emacs backup files, in a terminal can you type ". .bash_profile" from your home directory and see if the l alias is available? [02:57] Pollman: what issue are you having with the nvidia drivers on the flash drive? [02:57] they're ati's special linux drivers, though quite frankly right now you're better off either waiting for ati's drivers to get better or switching ot an intel or nvidia card [02:57] Pollman: you should just be able to boot the flash drive and use the restricted manager to install them. [02:57] ati + desktop effects = suck [02:57] h1st0, I did ask that and merely got the response use k3b. Now I am sure it is fine and good but k3b DOES NOT integrate with my ubuntu desktop [02:58] pianoboy3333 : what is photobooth? [02:58] Would someone mind going to http://www.mythbuntu.org/downloads and checking if the i386 dirrect download link works? All I get is a blank page. [02:58] h1st0, It asks me to reboot after enabling them, but it doesn't enable them after, it just asks me to reboot again [02:58] bthornton, make sure that the two computer can read/write that fast. a computer can send/recicve data faster than it can read/write [02:58] pianoboy needs to learn the strength of gimp [02:58] tumbleweed__: would it be possible netinst to go thru wifi? [02:58] tumbleweed__: it's a program for macs that works with a web cam to take pics/video and you can also minipulate it [02:58] ah [02:58] yes [02:58] cheese [02:58] bthornton, *can't [02:58] sudo apt-get install cheese [02:58] wease|: well, if you wanna do it in the program, gimp doesn't help [02:58] Pollman: hrm... maybe changes aren't being written prior to the drive being unmounted? [02:58] I would switch cards, but a)I have a laptop so it would be a pain b)I really want desktop effects. [02:58] it worked! [02:59] bleh, I am gonna just boot into windows. Something like burning mp3's to a cd should not require this much effort. [02:59] Kornholijo : perhaps, I've never tried, but if your wifi card works out of the box you may be able to [02:59] but whydid i have to do that [02:59] kimberly: I would try brasero or gnome-baker then :) [02:59] Ashfire908: yeah I guess that's what I'm trying to figure out. These are SATA drivers, however, so I didn't think they'd be THAT much of a bottleneck. [02:59] Odd-rationale: thats because its some silly javascript redirect: http://us-ca.cdimages.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu-7.10-i386.iso is a real direct link [02:59] h1st0, I thought of that, but it saves the change like desktop backgrounds and other stuff [02:59] htmldotcom: what type of card do you have? [02:59] today [02:59] scottybea, Ubuntu uses .profile not .bash_profile [02:59] scottybea: so for some reason your bash is not reading .bash_profile on startup [02:59] tumbleweed__: i got ipw2200bg :P [02:59] Pollman: is / mabye read only? and /home isn't? [02:59] h1st0: ATI Radeon Xpress 200M [02:59] so how do i fix it [02:59] you can try and see, then [02:59] scottybea: there you go :) from astro76 lol put it in .profile [02:59] !ati > htmldotcom, htmldotcom Read the private message from ubotu. [02:59] it's quite possible [02:59] ty [02:59] nice! [02:59] thank you all for your help [02:59] Flannel: Thanks! [02:59] scottybea: and that's why we don't use private messages lol [02:59] iv been tryin at this for so long [03:00] scottybea, no prob ;) [03:00] h1st0, / being the root of the drive? [03:00] scottybea: just cp .bash_profile .profile [03:00] lol ill try [03:00] Pollman: yeah like maybe the /home folders are the only ones that are writable. [03:00] bthornton, rsync is a very nice file copying program. you could try that. [03:01] OMG! i found the problem with my sound card!! when i boot, if i choose Ubuntu386 sound not work, if i choose Ubuntu (generic) sound works ! xD [03:01] what does it take atleast 20 seconds to open the terminal any suggestions? [03:01] thx h1st0 [03:01] Any MoBlock experts around? [03:01] h1st0, hm do you know where the nvidia restricted drivers are saved? [03:01] whats the difference between 386 and generic ? [03:01] it didnt work the cp move [03:01] Pollman: wel there are kernel modules that are installed but not sure where they are going. [03:02] scottybea: well I put all of my aliases in .bashrc so you can try that as well... my .bash_profile just loads .bashrc and .profile [03:02] smooker_: the optimization for cpu 386 version is kind of obsolete atm. as generic will work [03:02] h1st0, do you have gutsy running on a pendrive? [03:02] smooker_, Ubuntu has been transitioning to everyone using generic [03:02] kernel modules for nvidia go to /lib/modules/-current kernel vers- [03:02] Pollman: I dont have now, but I have had ubuntu on a flash drive in the past, whats your question? [03:02] lets see what i have in .profile [03:03] At the minute when i use my laptop and close the screen, it goes into some form of hibernate, however it does not come out of it, i just get a black screen when i open the laptop, how do i try to debug this? [03:03] htmldotcom, did you manage to get compiz or desktop fx working? [03:03] btw, i installed Kubuntu-desktop Xubuntu-Desktop and Edubuntu-Desktop from Synaptic, how do i swich between them ? [03:03] Pollman: I believe I installed fiesty to pen drive. [03:03] * mavric200 is listening to Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth from Radio Free Colorado - Classic + Modern Rock Mix, 60's to today. Best Hi-Fi Sound on the Net! [Amarok] [03:03] so it loads .profile everytime the terminal is opened or when you log out? [03:03] honestly, I wouldn't really use Ubuntu on a pendrive, it makes more sense to use Damn Small Linux or something akin to it [03:03] Pollman: but version shouldn't matter. I have knopppix on a pen drive now. [03:03] Pollman: that stuff doesn't usually work to well with flash drives in my experience, if you did get the drivers right, it would be too slow [03:04] I'm using an old crappy computer at the moment that can't boot from usb so I'll have to do this tomorrow [03:04] ok question [03:04] pigin and ubuntu The 'Manual' browser command has been chosen, but no command has been set. [03:04] wtf [03:04] just type firefox [03:04] Pollman : I suppose it [03:04] htmldotcom, why would it be slow if it was stored locally in the RAM [03:04] err [03:04] scottybea: when bash starts up as a login shell it loads .profile, I would put your alias defs in .bashrc which is loads when it's started as an interactive shell [03:04] dark_ninja, me? [03:04] Pollman : http://damnsmalllinux.org/ [03:04] alyxander: yes [03:04] what does it take atleast 20 seconds to open the terminal any suggestions? [03:04] I'd suggest using that for a mobile OS rather than Ubuntu [03:05] Anyone know how to check what lists moblock is downloading? [03:05] yes Pollman, it will never be as fast as a hdd install from my experience, and Ive tried almost all pen drive distros [03:05] dark_ninja, i dont understand type firefox where [03:05] do i have to close all terminals i have open for the changes to take effect? [03:05] krammer: only terminal takes that long? [03:05] how to set LCD refresh rate? [03:05] scottybea: no [03:05] yes [03:05] scottybea: each terminal has it's own bash instance [03:05] rafal: in X? [03:05] h1st0: yes [03:05] oh ic [03:05] mobile OS --- um, find an actual distro that is geared towards mobile devices === Nematocyst is now known as Nematocyst_ [03:05] htmldotcom, obviously not as fast as hdd install but fast enough to be usable yes? [03:05] yea, look into DSL, but you wont be getting any nice desktop effects Pollman [03:05] rafal: can't you change in System > Preferences > Display? [03:06] I really dont think its practical Pollman, why cant you just do a hdd install? [03:06] Or do Wubi or something [03:06] htmldotcom, I want it to be portable [03:06] hi, i am able to access the internet, but i am unable to access anything on my local network (such as my router) any suggestions? [03:06] Succes! [03:06] the .bashrc route worked [03:06] maybe stupid question but, where is the Control Panel in Ubuntu ? [03:06] h1st0: not in kde [03:06] mmm. eh, its not really practical, unfortunately. [03:06] alyxander: there should be a box right below the place where you selected manual [03:06] justin_: when you say "access" anything, what do you mean, can't ping your other computers? [03:06] rafal: you may want to ask the people in #kubuntu they may no a better way. [03:06] During a text-only installation, the installer asks for network settings, how do I reconfigure my network with the same user interface? You used to be able to do dpkg-reconfigure etherconf, but that no longer works. Any suggestions - other than manually editing /etc/network/* ? [03:06] ya, pinging my router returns host unreachable [03:07] thank you very much for your help [03:07] thanks h1st0 [03:07] i'm getting a segmentation fault error when I attempt to open evolution, any help would be greatly appreciated! [03:07] portable? or mobile? portable - you can have ubuntu on a removable drive... sure... but if you want a frugal install then you want something like DSL... configured properly. Something RO and something volatile for files [03:07] justin_: I assume you're pinging your router with it's ip address? [03:07] err [03:07] portable [03:07] kelsin: ya [03:07] dark_ninja, thats the eror msg that pops up [03:08] I guess I'll have to install on hdd, for the partitioning part of the install, when you partition it, if I choose a 160gb partition will it use that or the 340gb left over [03:08] scottybea: bashrc is the better place for that stuff. bash has a very complicated startup stuff. like I said before I make my .bash_profile load .bashrc (I think that was some some other distros default) and have been doing that for a while [03:08] right, i'm on windows so i can't help you [03:08] sorry === Nematocyst_ is now known as Nematocyst [03:08] Pollman: what are you doing just copying the install to usb or something? [03:08] the problem with ubuntu is that it isn't really meant to be run on more than one kind of computer with the same install, so I don't believe it does a modprobe every time it is booted [03:08] ah ic well i thank you i will get back to learning [03:08] justin_: does "route -n" list your router's up as the dateway for the destination "0.0.0.0" [03:08] dark_ninja, never mind i got it thanks man [03:09] kelsin: yes [03:09] h1st0, I'm going to install it on my home computer, and have the pendrive for portability w/o the desktop fx [03:09] Pollman: you can tell it to install to the 160gb of free space if you want. Or manually partition the drive. [03:09] justin_: If your router is configurable could it just be not responding to pings, what else doesn't work in the local network? [03:09] h1st0, also how long does it usually take to partition? [03:09] Pollman: the install gui has an option for manual partitioning [03:09] Pollman: few seconds [03:10] yeah [03:10] everytime i try to use that cool deskbar applet to search my /home directory..... i get no results... its like its not indexing my files....... can someone tell me how to fix? thanks! [03:10] i cant access it via http like i usually do either [03:10] shouldn't take more than a minute to partition [03:10] Pollman: are you setting up dual boot on the home computer or just ubuntu [03:10] i can using my laptop though [03:10] arooni-mobile: bug in tracker [03:10] h1st0, I chose a 160gb partition and clicked next, and it stayed at 0% for at least half an hour [03:10] wait for a fix [03:10] h1st0, dual boot with vista :| [03:10] how do i kill a gost login? [03:10] Pollman: well what type of partition is the 160gb? [03:10] it was working a few hours ago when i was using arch [03:10] ericvw_t: on irc, or on your computer? [03:10] irc [03:11] hey guys i need some cedega help, every time i click the icon under games it goes to a black screen with some text for like a half a second, and then it sends me to the ubuntu log in screen [03:11] ericvw_t: /msg NickServ ghost [03:11] h1st0, I stopped it because it wasn't doing anything [03:11] perfect, thanks! [03:11] Dankchild : try in #cedega [03:11] Dankchild: you should contact cedega since you are paying for support [03:11] Dankchild: def a question for cedage, esp since you're paying them for support [03:11] in my experience it must be GHOST not ghost [03:11] h1st0: lol [03:11] my laptop has 4 resoutions, but when i output to hdtv it doesn't show any sort of 720i/p options, is there a way to add it? === ericvw_t is now known as ericvw [03:11] I've noticed I have both acpid and apmd running on my computer. Do I only need one of these? [03:11] i'm getting a segmentation fault error when I attempt to open evolution, any help would be greatly appreciated! [03:11] Pollman: well is the 160gb just free space? Or is it a partition you created? [03:11] eh nvm [03:11] dasos: see xrandr [03:11] justin_: is the laptop running ubuntu as well? [03:12] kelsin: yes [03:12] Pollman: what I would do is have vista installed and leave some free space on the drive. THen just tell the installer to use the free space. [03:12] kelsin: dhcp though [03:12] justin_: do the "route -n" outputs on both machines differ alot or at all? [03:12] h1st0, I didn't make the 160gb partition. I want to make a dual boot install with ubuntu having less space [03:12] I'm so lost as to why my pcspeaker isn't working on this computer in ubuntu. [03:12] I had quite an ordeal installing Ubuntu on my Laptop, but at least it went better than Debian, Debian didn't even detect my NIC! [03:12] im curently using fedora 8 can i get rid of that and install ubuntu [03:12] justin_: ahhh so the desktop is using a static config in /etc/network/interfaces? [03:12] how do i connect to a printer on the network with ubuntu? The printer is connected to a PC using windows XP [03:12] !dualboot > Pollman, Pollman Read the private message from ubotu. [03:12] with the installer [03:12] hey does ubuntu have active sync? [03:12] though to be fair, my laptop is fairly new [03:13] Pollman: check out the pm for some information. [03:13] h1st0: have you check volume control??? :)) sorry I had to ask... may be it is muted [03:13] kelsin: yes [03:13] h1st0, thanks [03:13] Benalex: ahh no one thing I haven't checked lol brb [03:13] foug: one way is to share it in windows doing it the normal windows way, then you have to configure the samba printer stuff in ubuntu, probably can find the tutorials about it, I don't know the procedure off hand [03:13] justin_: do you mind pasteing your /etc/network/interfaces file in pastebin? [03:14] How do I install new fint foiles (ttf format)? [03:14] Got time for a lame question? How can I change the permission of an ntfs partition from root to normal user? Iv'e tried the hell out of chown, I'm stuck. [03:14] fint foiles??? Font files. [03:14] *shrug* [03:14] Benalex: lol that was it. [03:14] Dogfishguzzler: you need to pass a umask to the mount command [03:14] Pollman: np [03:14] I think you might need to mount the partition with the gid/uid options set. [03:14] Dogfishguzzler: You need to mount it using special options and stuff. [03:14] Pollman: also I recomend creating a seperate /home partition but you don't have to. [03:15] Dogfishguzzler: umask sounds like the right term. Look at the man page for mount for more info. [03:15] kelsin: http://pastebin.org/10259 [03:15] h1st0: beep damn it [03:15] okay, so I need to man mount and read about umask....anything else? [03:15] h1st0: you kiddin me!! [03:15] How do I install new fonts in ttf format? [03:15] h1st0, I'm sort of confused about the ubuntu installation, if I choose to create a partition with it, which partition does it use? [03:15] justin_: can you humor me and try restarting networking with the auto line before the iface line for eth0? [03:15] Pollman: the one you create. [03:15] yes, always create a seperate /home [03:16] in case you ruin your install accidentally [03:16] Dogfishguzzler: use storage device manager to configure your fstab [03:16] Pollman: its easier if you are confused to just have free space on the drive and tell it to use that. [03:16] h1st0, so if I choose a 160gb partition it will use that one [03:16] your documents are safe [03:16] h1st0, do I do that using the manual partition? [03:16] Pollman: yeah you choose the 160gb partition and change the mount point to / it will use that. [03:16] Pollman: you also need a /swap partition. [03:16] Benalex:I don't recall even seeing that 'tool' [03:16] kelsin: not sure i quite follow [03:16] try add/remove [03:16] PirateHead: I forget where I read it or if this is the right directory but I think you can drop them in ~/.fonts and restart X and it will pick them up, I'm not positive on any of that though [03:17] How do I compile a c/c++ project in KDevelop? [03:17] Pollman: just don't delete you vista partition. [03:17] Dogfishguzzler: try add/remove applications [03:17] Apparently I need to make a makefile, but i don't know how to do that. Surely there is an option that lets me do that [03:17] okay, thanks [03:17] justin_: in your /etc/network/interfaces you have the auto eth1 line at the end, can you move it to line 4? [03:17] brb [03:17] justin_: then restart your networking [03:17] h1st0, I'll just use the default scroller and choose the lowest size from that [03:17] kelsin: There seems to be a folder structure in /usr/share/fonts, but I don't really know how it works. [03:17] Pollman: partitions are just containers that tell the drive you can put data between the begining and the end of the partition. Then you have to format the partition to use it. The installer formats the partition prior to copying files to it. [03:17] h1st0, the reason I was worried was because it wasn't doing anything [03:18] Pollman: well do you have free unpartitioned space on your drive? or not? [03:18] h1st0: 260gb or so of it [03:18] ifconfig eth1 restart? [03:18] hi guys...I'd like to know if 7.10 is capable of playing DVD 1080p via nvidia 8600 hdmi to the tv? [03:18] justin_: yep or /etc/init.d/networking restart [03:18] Pollman: well then in manual config just create a 160gb partition and change the mount point to /. THen create a /swap partition how much memory do you have? [03:18] justin_: "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" [03:19] h1st0, 2gb [03:19] I use KDevelop, how do I use KDevelop to create a makefile for a c/c++ project? [03:19] hi [03:19] kelsin: that did that trick [03:19] Pollman: create a 2gb /swap partition also. [03:19] webcam how to [03:19] how strange [03:19] wsv123456 : could you please be more descriptive? [03:19] justin_: beautiful :), so something about the order of those commands had it bring up the interface correctly but not with the right info somehow :) make sure to keep the auto lines above the corresponding iface lines from now on [03:19] thanks h1st0 [03:19] Azrael24: I bet it's possible. It won't necessarily be trivial, though. I know you'll have a few hoops to jump through just to get DVDs playing. [03:20] h1st0, I'll do that tomorrow [03:20] Pollman: the are plenty of different ways to do it. ONe would be creating a 20gb / and a 140gb /home and finally a 2gb /swap [03:20] Pollman : h1st0 : sorry for interrupting you guys... is this all about installing ubuntu into pendrive? [03:20] kelsin: i greatly appreciate your time, thank you :) [03:20] Benalex: no [03:20] Benalex: installing to his hd [03:20] I'm sure I can play DVD just fine, but would like to utilize the 1080p feature [03:20] Benalex, no [03:20] have webcam in 7.10 think it is recognized what do ido next? [03:20] I guess only way to know is just try it [03:20] Benalex, do you have ubuntu on a pendrive? [03:20] does anybody knows what do i have to upgrade or install in order to repair desktop crashing when screensaver appairs in Feisty Fawn????? [03:20] greeetings. [03:20] Okay, I use synaptic to manage my software, Looking at man mount I see that I should do a '-umask-'value' , how do express that value? I want to make it readable by other users. [03:21] I did it before... and erased it [03:21] Pollman: creating a seperate /home partition has a nice advantage. All your files and settings are saved to their so if you have to reinstall the os or switch distros all your stuff will be there when you remount /home. [03:21] cocox: The first thing to do would be disabling the screen saver. [03:21] 777? [03:21] Does anyone here use KDevelop?? [03:21] cocox: Then report a bug and try to get somebody to fix it for you. [03:21] Pollman: I've found that knoppix was a better option for pendrive due to the hardware detection. [03:21] Dogfishguzzler: is this ntfs partition being mounted by /etc/fstab or automaounted (it's a usb drive or something) or what? [03:21] home partition is the best [03:21] brb [03:21] for a hilarious read - sudo apt-get install wipe ; man wipe - and i thought i was paranoid [03:21] PirateHead: i guess it has been already fixed [03:21] kelsin: No I manulaly mount it. [03:21] wsv123456 : is it a USB webcam? [03:22] manually* [03:22] PirateHead, just looking for somebody who had the same problem [03:22] brianski what is wipe ? [03:22] Dogfishguzzler: then when you mount it with the mount command you have to add something like "mount -o umask=000" [03:22] Pollman: I installed ubuntu once before on a pendrive... and it was terribly slow... then got rid of it [03:22] usb webcam cheap 8.00 on ebay [03:22] Dogfishguzzler: that will make all of the files 777 you can edit the umask as you see fit [03:22] wsv123456 : type lsusb into a terminal and paste the output to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ then link me [03:22] cocox: If it's fixed, the patch should eventually be released as an Ubuntu update. [03:22] 1124 people and no one has ever used KDevelop for c++/c? [03:23] I can copy files from there as root into my directory then do a chown, that works, but I want to change them all where they sit. I have way to many files to go at it like that [03:23] Undead_Zeus : this is a help channel for ubuntu, you'd be better off going to kdevelop's support room, if they have one [03:23] Undead_Zeus: if someone did, and could answer your question then would Undead_Zeus [03:23] how do i link you what command? [03:23] Undead_Zeus: what you need? [03:23] cocox: If Ubuntu packagers are being slow as molasses, which is all too common, you'll need to figure out which binaries got patched and rebuild them from source with the new patches applied. [03:23] kelsin: Whats 'octal' value mean? [03:23] How do I add new font files and have them be recognized by apps like Open Office? === adante_ is now known as adante [03:23] h1st0 thanks for the help I'm gonna go now [03:23] Dogfishguzzler: what do you mean, it's the same as the chown input [03:23] octal is 0-7 [03:23] Kornholijo: I am trying to compile a c/c++ project. It says I need a makefile. surely there is a way in kdevelop to automatically create one. how do I make a makefile? [03:23] wsv123456 : simply paste the output of "lsusb" to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/, it will give you a link once you press paste, you need to give me the link [03:23] Pollman: np there are always people here willing to help. [03:24] okay, thanks guys [03:24] Dogfishguzzler: ntfs can't be chmod'd since ntfs doesn't support unix file permissions [03:24] octal is a system of counting with...what fraterm said :D [03:24] Dogfishguzzler: octal is 0-7 digit numbers. [03:24] but you start at zero [03:24] so there are 8 values possible \ [03:24] PirateHead, dude... im still not at that level [03:24] kelsin: So you mean than my files that are in ntfs are forever owned by root? [03:24] Dogfishguzzler: so you have to add the umask to the mount command to make the kernel behave like all of the files have some file permissions [03:24] okay thats what I will try brb [03:25] * fraterm grins [03:25] I'm new to ubuntu y'all [03:25] PirateHead: http://penguinfonts.com/howto/ubuntu.php [03:25] * jsoftw ponders [03:25] A convert from Gentoo. [03:25] PirateHead, do you know how to disable the screensaver from command line? [03:25] gentoo is caca [03:25] wow. [03:25] fraterm: welcome to the land of no more seven hour compiles [03:25] gentoo is not caca [03:25] simply different [03:25] PirateHead, because when i try from the GUI it gets freeze [03:25] dark_ninja: :))) [03:25] different distros for different people [03:25] gentoo is offtopic :) [03:26] touche. [03:26] crdlb, thanks for that [03:26] hai guis [03:26] I'm happy with the luxuriousness of ubuntu [03:26] Dogfishguzzler: yes, but you can make it readable and writable by others, the uid option can allow you to set the files to be owned by you when mounted [03:26] tumbleweed, there ya go [03:26] wuts cummin on ? [03:26] ugh, I'm typing the line like this ' sudo mount -umask 777 /dev/hdb2 /mnt/doze' what is wrong with that line? [03:26] wsv123456 : got that output for me yet? [03:27] Im doing the umask wrong [03:27] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46654/ [03:27] cocox: I think you'll just have to wait for patches to come out then, which sucks. [03:27] hagnat: this is #ubuntu a support channel not a chat channel you can join #ubuntu-offtopic if you wish to chat and please try typing in english [03:27] Dogfishguzzler: did you see my example, options to the filesystem mounters is the -o option so the caommdn is "sudo mount -o umask=000" [03:27] ok [03:27] Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0c45:60fc Microdia [03:27] you have a microdia webcam [03:27] Oh yeah... [03:27] Thats right [03:27] Dogfishguzzler: umask is inverted from normal octal permission, so if you want the files 777 you need umask=000 [03:27] hi. what is the best chat client (IM) for ubuntu? [03:27] one seconds, wsv123456 [03:27] no I missed that kelsin, brb [03:27] umask 077 ftw :) [03:27] !best | cheeby [03:27] cheeby: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. [03:28] * jsoftw waits for jail to backup [03:28] cheeby: amsn is kool [03:28] ok, by "best" I meant the one that seems to please the most folk. [03:28] cheeby: probably pidgin [03:28] cheeby: man like pidgin (or at least i do) [03:28] +y [03:28] ok, so apt-get install pidgin? [03:28] PirateHead, yeah it sucks... but, you know i have the same problem while trying to enable desktop efects [03:28] cheeby: it's already installed if you have a normal gnome ubuntu install [03:28] cheeby, yerp [03:28] well.. yeah [03:29] never hurts to update to the newest though ;-) [03:29] PirateHead, so im getting the idea that maybe something its wrong just with my installation [03:29] ah, indeed it is. this is a new system. sorry for the block-headedness. [03:30] I need a better console browser than links [03:30] That did it kelsin, thanks dude! [03:30] h1st0: better how? [03:30] Dogfishguzzler: no problem, check out the uid and gid options also if you wnat them not "owned" by root? [03:30] kelsin: well gmail on links2 is kind of annoying. And I can only run in graphics mode if I use sudo for some jacked reason. [03:30] Dogfishguzzler: (they are like umask in that they go after -o like: -o umask=000,uid=500 [03:31] kelsin: Then the mouse speed is like i'm on crack. [03:31] Dogfishguzzler, umask 077 or 007, but dear me you do not want 000 [03:31] h1st0: I think w3m has a console mode etc, but theren't aren't too many others with grahics [03:31] Anyone here have the 7.10 amd-64 habit? [03:31] PirateHead , and also when i try to play 3D chess i get a message which says that i need this packages OpenGL for Python and bindings GtkGLExt for Python. [03:31] kelsin: just links2 has graphics? Any idea why i have to use sudo for links2 -g [03:31] or perhaps have an artpad? [03:32] I only want to grab some stuff then format the whole partition to ext3. I'm not leaving it this way. [03:33] h1st0: is your user in the group "video"? [03:33] yeah [03:33] kelsin: yes [03:33] wsv123456 : did you get my private message? [03:34] astro76: So if it's inverted like kelsin said does that mean '077' would be 'no execute, ok to write, ok to read? [03:34] tumbleweed__: you can't send pms unless you registered your nickname [03:34] doh [03:35] Dogfishguzzler, 077 would be read/write/execute for user only, not for group or other [03:35] !register > tumbleweed__, tumbleweed__ Read the private message from ubotu. [03:35] Dogfishguzzler, basically you never want anything world writable, especially if it's executable [03:35] I know how to register :P [03:35] h1st0: did you try -driver fb and -driver directfb [03:36] kelsin: nah just specified teh -g option. with sudo. let me try that [03:36] i need help. ekiga isn't detecting my NAT setup saying stun is blocked.... [03:36] right on astro76 [03:36] thanks yall, I really really appreciate it! [03:36] kelsin, man it's really jumpy. [03:36] wsv123456 : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46655/ [03:37] kelsin, that is when I type. [03:37] kelsin: on the the fb driver just errors. The directfb driver says permission denied Error opening /dev/tty0 [03:37] tumbleweed didnt get it [03:38] wsv123456 : just look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46655/ [03:38] h1st0: now I'm just guessing but maybe add yourself to the tty group? [03:38] it has the same stuff [03:38] nDevastator: a utility that tries to securely erase data so that it can not be recovered [03:38] Does anybody knows what do i have to upgrade or install in order to repair desktop crashing when screensaver appairs in Feisty Fawn????? [03:38] or do you know how to disable the screensaver from command line, because when i try from the GUI it gets freezed. im getting the idea that maybe something its wrong just with my installation bacause i have the same problem while trying to enable desktop efects and also when i try to play 3D chess i get a message which says that i need this packages OpenGL for Python and bindings GtkGLExt for Python. [03:38] kelsin: i'll have to give it a shot. [03:38] cocox: try killall xscreensaver [03:38] h1st0: past that I don't know, maybe udev rules to make /dev/tty0 the proper permissions :-( [03:38] cocox: what tyep of video card do you have? [03:39] Still having video issues with a radeon xpress 200G :/ I posted about it here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=629816 [03:39] hi [03:40] welcome [03:40] i'm getting a segmentation fault error when I attempt to open evolution, any help would be greatly appreciated!

[03:41] cocox, you could add that to your .profile, but perhaps you had better remove the gnome screensaver package [03:41] that should do it [03:42] guys when i try installing screen let a .deb file i get an error ( Only one software management tool is allowed to run at the same time ) - please close the other application e.g. 'Update Manager' , 'aptitude' or 'Synaptic' first.

[03:45] chimp: the kernel typically takes about 30 minutes on my computer if that. [03:45] Vicfred: what are you building? [03:45] thats pretty damned fast [03:45] chimp: the rest of the stuff. It would probably take a long time. Thats why the stuff is precompiled for you. [03:45] PriceChild, I am running gentoo right now and thinking of switching to a less hastel OS ... like Ubuntu [03:45] yeah i can imagine [03:45] PriceChild, I also like the community [03:45] that easy [03:46] thenetduck, with ubuntu there is no reason to compile your own kernel [03:46] thenetduck: yes you can but there really isn't a need to recompile your own kernel. [03:46] Kornholijo: seems to work [03:46] PriceChild, is ubuntu going to perform as well as Gentoo? [03:46] PriceChild : there most certainly is [03:46] thenetduck, "yes" [03:46] thenetduck: read the mailing list post from ubotu [03:46] dark_ninja, no just double clicked the .deb file i amnot running any synaptic or installer i am sure or i think theyr might be running in the background what is the process name fori t [03:46] bobsomebody, hello [03:46] thenetduck: sure :) [03:46] madcreation1, whats up [03:46] thenetduck: yes the differences speed wise you wouldn't be able to notice. [03:46] thenetduck: ubuntu is nice for that kind of stuuf i personally think gentoo is better in a way but you might like ubuntu for its somewhat simpleness compared to gentoo [03:46] I usually compile my own kernel all the time to change the settings [03:46] thenetduck: it has performance numbers for optimized kernels, and the gains are negligable [03:46] The whole gentoo is faster cause its optimized is a load of rubbish IMO [03:47] thenetduck: thats why there's no point anymore in recompiliing your own kernels etc... [03:47] It might be faster in some cases, but by nothing signifigant [03:47] if at all [03:47] h1st0 : yes there is [03:47] tntcry not really sure but try a "ps -e" and if you see synaptic aptitude or updater kill them and you should be fine [03:47] ok, I need help, it appears as if php works fine and I can connect to my mysql server through php, but for some reason phpmyadmin gives me a blank page ... [03:47] I have to recompile my kernel all the time to add in my own modules and such [03:47] Meh. [03:47] tumbleweed__, you don't need to recompile the entire kernel to compile a module... [03:47] I know that [03:47] h1st0, interesting... very interesting .. and it supports reiserFS etc ? [03:47] tumbleweed__: you can load the modules there is no need. Look up some specs on benchmarking the difference. [03:47] tumbleweed__, modules are just that... modules... [03:47] thenetduck: yes [03:48] not just modules [03:48] but other settings [03:48] Yeah. [03:48] like using SLAB instead of SLOB [03:48] hi, is the user 'backup' a default of Linux FS or just Ubuntu ? thanks [03:48] My days of farting around with kernel compiles are over. [03:48] I dunno [03:48] tumbleweed__: For the majority of users it is not necessary. But you still have that option thats the beauty of linux. [03:48] It makes me *yawn* [03:48] I just like doing it :P [03:48] tumbleweed__: SLUB :) [03:48] Im sure you get sick of it :) [03:48] h1st0, one more question, I hate lots of clutter, I have built my gentoo system up from gnome-light (basicly nothing but a terminal an natilus ) is there a gnome light version for Ubuntu? [03:49] h1st0, something like ubuntu-light with no programs or something? [03:49] thenetduck: xfce4 :p [03:49] msg nickserv id Coruscant500 [03:49] thenetduck: you can install a command line system from the alternate iso then hand pick packages such as gnome-core etc... [03:49] thenetduck: xfce is a light weight version [03:49] ... well i think i started on gimp then i needed some dependencies then i was trying to build the dependencies and somehow i now need x11 xd [03:49] jsoftw, :) ... I just don't like that added programs [03:49] thenetduck: staying away from all the clutter of the ubuntu-desktop package. [03:49] Greevous, please identify and change your password immediately. [03:49] thenetduck: well you could also build up a bare session with only what you need [03:49] it's quite easy [03:49] thenetduck: and after installing the command line you can install applications individual and build up gnome with what you want [03:49] thenetduck: yeah well whats the difference. [03:49] Greevous, in the future, please use the server tab rather than a public channel when entering your password [03:49] Does NFS v4 support 3DES keys? [03:49] thenetduck: end of the day, you save what... a few megs? [03:49] thenetduck: yeah you are looking for the alternate iso cd from the download page. You can install a command line system and hand pick the other packages you want. [03:49] * tumbleweed__ slaps his face [03:50] gah that was mean [03:50] e17 in elbuntu is shaping up also, very light also [03:50] dark_ninja, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46657/report/ === soldats is now known as hihlite [03:50] tumble check out results posted on page thanks [03:50] jsoftw: there is a huge speed difference there is a ton of clutter that isn't necesary. === hihlite is now known as soldats [03:50] ok [03:50] h1st0: it makes no real difference if you just disable those things. [03:50] Turn them off. [03:50] A bit of hdd space. [03:50] h1st0, now that's what I have been wanting to hear. With the base system I get the Ubuntu kernel (linux whatever you wanna call it) so my devices are going to be serviced too? [03:50] wsv123456 : what's the link again? [03:50] joseaa: I'm running kde on a p3 500 using kde-core and its fast as hell. [03:51] jsoftw: there is still a lot of clutter bluetooth all kinds of extra apps etc... [03:51] thenetduck: almost all devices and services are in ubuntu [03:51] h1st0: so? I just turn that stuff off [03:51] install [03:51] is Pollman still here? [03:51] h1st0, im sold [03:51] FangLiger: No he said I gtg and left :) [03:51] jsoftw: you can't just turn off the extra apps you'd have to remove them. Then that kind of defeats the purpose of installing a kubuntu-desktop meta package in the first place. [03:51] tntcry try killall update-notifier, but other than that i see nothing [03:52] you should try again before you do that [03:52] damn, i found a way to run ubuntu 7.10 embedded in windows with persistence [03:52] Greevous : might want to change your password. [03:52] thenetduck: yeah there is gnome-core etc... also there are alternate wm's like flux etc... [03:52] h1st0, question though, can you optimize programs like in gentoo with USE packages I mean if I don't want programs to have service for something or I do for another [03:52] Its all cool being clean and stuff, but in my opinion, a desktop is going to have a lot of stuff installed. Why fart around trying to make a desktop box all 'clean' and 'minimal' beyond turning things you dont need off. [03:52] u see nothing dark_ninja [03:52] tumbleweed__: shoot I forgot how... the freenode website? [03:52] h1st0, USE flags* [03:52] nope [03:52] thenetduck: you can't do that in ubuntu, most packages have most things enabled [03:52] Greevous, /msg nickserv identify password [03:52] thenetduck: yes you can [03:53] Greevous, /msg nickserv set password newpassword [03:53] soldats, really what is it called? [03:53] PriceChild: thank you [03:53] tntcry update-notifier can interfere with apt while it's checking for updates [03:53] soldats, or how does it work in Ubuntu? [03:53] thenetduck: well you would have to build the package from source then if you wanted to change its config options. Just like in gentoo. In ubuntu you could just get the source for the package and configure to your hearts content. [03:53] worst case just log out and then try again [03:53] h1st0: meh [03:53] h1st0: I just installed ubuntu and then run xfce4, whats the problem [03:54] thenetduck: the major difference is apt vs. emerge. All packages are precompiled but the source is availible. [03:54] It works, its done, nice and easy. [03:54] h1st0, but the package mantainer ... for deb will not ever update it [03:54] thenetduck: basicall the packages you install will most likel come with all required "flags" for your system but is also tells you which packages will benifit you on your system and sometimes it asks you if you want them installes [03:54] I need help with Ekiga. It isn't detecting my NAT setup and its saying stun is blocked.... what do i do? [03:54] h1st0, but with emerge if I find a program that I want I can create an ebuild [03:54] thenetduck: you can build your own debs as well. [03:54] still :( dark_ninja [03:54] thenetduck: you can download the source for any package you want from the web and build a deb with checkinstall. [03:55] ok, so I've built a pretty little .deb out of my kernel (just finished building) what now? just install it and restart? [03:55] h1st0, is building your own .deb easy? [03:55] yup [03:55] thenetduck: you can get debs and add to them with more packages that work with them [03:55] you just use apt-build [03:55] tumbleweed__: yeap dpkg -i nameofdeb.deb [03:55] thenetduck: yeah with checkinstall [03:55] do I have to fool with GRUB, h1st0? [03:55] How can i edit the UBUNTU DEFAULT STARTUP which are (Generic) and 386 and (Save Mode) [03:55] ? [03:55] /etc/init.d/x and then tab for autocomplete <---would any of these two things screw up my sustem in any way?---> /etc/init.d/x-session start [03:56] yes dpkg is very powerfull and may be better than apt-get in your case [03:56] thenetduck: download the soruce change to the directory config then make then checkinstall instead of make install command. It will prompt you for answers and spit out a nice little deb. === Greevous is now known as tork [03:56] smooker_: in the file /boot/grub/menu.lst there is a setting for the default kernel to boot [03:56] smooker: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [03:56] anyone using new ati driver ? [03:56] I can change gamma in games [03:56] and it is Safe mofe not Save move :P [03:56] can not* [03:56] h1st0, wow can't get much simpler than that! ... but that is a deb for my specific system [03:56] thenetduck: the only real difference is the centralized config in gentoo like the use flags. THose would have to be changed on a app by app basis if you wanted to build from source. [03:56] oh i forgot what was the process name of the File Browser ? [03:57] thenetduck: like I say there really isn't much of a reason to do that though. [03:57] tntcry not sure what to say, check the ps list again, or try to install as root using sudo -i [03:57] smooker_: is it nautilis [03:57] nautilus [03:57] hi there I'm trying to get the bitrate of an mp3 from cli without playing it. help? [03:57] tim__, try file, e.g. file filename.mp3 [03:57] soldats: most ubuntu packages have all of the options you will find with use flags enabled, since it wants to appeal to most users [03:58] h1st0, I just need something that works, is highly customizable and doesn't crash, I have also gotten tired of the emerge -u world compiles ... [03:58] why would phpmyadmin give a blank index page? [03:58] 10x [03:58] I need help with Ekiga. It isn't detecting my NAT setup and its saying stun is blocked.... what do i do? [03:58] h1st0, just takes a bunch of time [03:58] thenetduck: if you put in the data in checkinstall correctly you can add requirements etc.. then it would work on other systems. [03:58] tumbleweed did you see page updated with output [03:58] How can I connect to a WPA router using WiFi Radar? [03:58] thenetduck: I would give ubuntu/debian a go then, they are very nice systems [03:59] thenetduck: well you should read about apt then. The packages are pre built no need to compile like I said. If you want a stream lined system jsut dl the alternate iso and install a command line system and hand pick the other apps you want with apt-get. [03:59] crdlb: well i think i started on gimp then i needed some dependencies then i was trying to build the dependencies and somehow i now need x11 xd [03:59] !apt > thenetduck, thenetduck Read the private message from ubotu. [03:59] kelsin: yes but some may not come with all options ans in some plugins you may need or want, i say this because when i installed "mocp" i aslo needed the ffmpeg plugin as well so i had to get that after and apt-get told me i may need it or require it for mp3s [03:59] How can I access shared folders from 2 xubuntu pc,s? It seems all the info is aimed at windows+ubuntu filesharing [03:59] Vicfred: well if you want to build the gimp then run: sudo apt-get build-dep gimp and it will install all the build dependencies for you [03:59] ok thx [03:59] soldats: a recommended package is very different then a gentoo use flag [03:59] what would be an appropriate app for burning cd in ubuntu? [04:00] xzased, are you using nfs for sharing? [04:00] I need help with Ekiga. It isn't detecting my NAT setup and its saying stun is blocked.... what do i do? [04:00] prak : k3b [04:00] prak: brasero or gnome-baker [04:00] kelsin: yes i know i had gentoo for a while thats why i prefer ubuntu because most basic packages it gets for you [04:00] yep, NFS [04:00] E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list [04:00] xzased: as long as ssh is working you can broswe and share via the gnome nautlilus interface with sftp [04:01] astro76: thanks but "file" did not give the bitrate and the man for it is also no help :) [04:01] h1st0, thanks im going to go install the command line.. btw ..before I get all command liney ... I just install apt-get gnome-core for the base gnome system? [04:01] tim__, yeah file is useful for video, not so much for mp3 apparently [04:01] tim__: you may just wnt to do it with a program or by clicking file properties [04:01] kelsin: how do I do that? Do I go to thunar, or is Nautilus a different thing? [04:01] astro76: "a.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 23.0 tag, MP3 encoding" was the output [04:02] Vicfred: are you sure you got the hyphen in "build-dep"? [04:02] astro76: i'm trying to make a script ... [04:02] xzased: well as long as the ssh server is all set on both systems you can use any sftp client. I know the default ubuntu (not xubuntu) uses nautilus and it has a sftp client. I don't have any experience with thunar to know if it does :-( [04:02] is there a program like mspaint for linux? [04:02] something that i can just doodle something in quick? [04:02] dana_bad: tux_paint I think? [04:02] brasero and gnomebaker aren't authenticated [04:02] are they still ok to be installed? [04:02] xzased, you could try using the gnome network browser but my experience so far is that you have to explicitly mount the share in fstab [04:03] kelsin: is it super light/small [04:03] anyone correct me if i'm wrong [04:03] dana_bad: i believe its called GNU paint [04:03] hi i need to know how to run .bin files in ubuntu.... [04:03] dark_ninja: xzased for nsd yes, or use the mount command on the command line, ussualy if you just want to transfer files and not mount a file system ssh and sftp is easier [04:03] Tyreses: what are you trying to run? [04:03] ok, so what is going on, when I go to my music directory and search for tetris, it shows nothing but i know i have like 10 songs in that directory [04:03] kelsin, hear hear for ssh [04:03] vicfred@vicfred-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get build-dep gimp [04:03] PlaneShift_CBV0.3.020x86.bin [04:03] this happens for everything i search for [04:04] tomd123: how are you searching? [04:04] tomd123, what music player are you using? [04:04] Tyreses: most likely just run it with "sh PlaneShift_CBV0.2.020x86.bin" [04:04] i got to places, home, music [04:04] .. [04:04] Tyreses, or ./NameOfFile.bin [04:04] then i press search [04:04] then i enter the name and hit enter, it says 0 results [04:04] thenetduck: apt-get will aready be installed then after you log in just sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg gnome-core [04:05] gives me and error [04:05] !sudo > thenetduck, thenetduck Read the private message from ubotu. [04:05] permission denied [04:05] Can somebody please tell me the command to view my CPU specs? I knew it, but forgot :p [04:05] tried with sudo [04:05] still didnt work [04:05] Peddy: cat /proc/cpuinfo [04:05] Tyreses: with the ./ command or the sh command? [04:05] yup [04:05] hi, i need help installing and getting awn [04:05] thanks Rug, te h pwn :) [04:05] Peddy: try "top" in command line [04:06] Tyreses: you can "chmod +x " to give is executable permission, byt my last question was an "or" question not a "yes and no" question [04:06] Tyreses: you need to get in the directory where the bin is then just ./nameoffile.bin [04:06] Yeah that works too, Pedy what info are you after? [04:06] soldats: thanks, but I meant the specs of the cpu. cya [04:06] both [04:06] Rug: model name, etc. mainly sse3 info. I wanna know if it has sse3 [04:06] Peddy: cat /proc/cpuinfo [04:06] Peddy: sorry i misread [04:06] Peddy: that should show you. [04:07] i need help installing and getting awn any help? [04:07] danny: try apt-get install awn [04:07] it should be i nthe repos [04:07] Peddy, not to pry, but can I ask why you want to know that ? [04:07] h1st0: do you by any chance know if SSE3 and SSSE3 are the same thing? [04:07] jimmygoon: I think you know ;) [04:07] SSE3 there is no SSSE3 [04:07] jimmygoon: patched Leopard kernel [04:07] Peddy I asked that question a couple of hours ago :P [04:07] kelsin & dark ninja - Thanks :) [04:07] (yep) [04:07] *cough* mac emulation [04:08] thats 's what I said above ;) [04:08] fixed it with the chmod, thanks much [04:08] Peddy: just use VMware [04:08] that's* [04:08] How can i change my desktop Rezolution ? [04:08] Rug, VMware + mac = ugh [04:08] Rug: rather dual boot [04:08] smooker, system > prefferences > screen res [04:08] Marfi: I got it to work on my box [04:08] Rug: it *does* say ssse3. not sse3. [04:08] dark_ninja, i get this message apt-get install awn [04:09] Rug, i got it to work also. but it ran horribly...even with all the tweaks [04:09] Marfi: I agree [04:09] Hi everyone! When I right click on an mp3, and "open with" rhythmbox, rhythmbox opens, but it doesn't play the mp3. It doesn't even load the mp3 into its library. Is there any way to fix this behavior? [04:09] Peddy: really? I thought it was just a typo [04:09] dark_ninja, sorry wait [04:09] Rug: nope [04:09] !mp3 | calm [04:09] calm: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [04:09] Rug: there is sse2.

I can play the mp3s just fine in totem. Also, if rhythmbox is already open, the mp3 will load and play correctly. Also also, I get the same problem with oggs, or any other audio file. [04:10] Does anyone know a program that can access the "line in" on my computer and play media from it? [04:10] where is the admin panel ? [04:11] there was a site that autogot everything you might need extra for ubuntu last time I tried it [04:11] danny, sorry, I came in on the end of the convo, did you add a repository (and if so, did you "sudo apt-get update" afterwards?) [04:11] danny, do a google search for avant-window-manager. its from an external repository. and thank you, i have been trying to remember the name of the package myself. =) [04:11] does anybody remember what its called plz ? [04:11] is there any macromedia flash player for ububtu? [04:11] smooker_, :P System->Administration->Screens&Graphics [04:11] It's just when rhythmbox isn't already open: when you try to open an audio file with rhythmbox, it will just open rhythmbox, without actually playing the file.

[04:11] ankur, yes, if on gutsy, it will prompt to install as soon as a page tries to use it [04:11] soldats and kelsin: gpaint is what i was looking for [04:11] ankur: there is a firefox plugin for flash and a number of free flash alternatives [04:11] dtork: the Sound Recorder program can record sound from it, and if you play witht he different volumes and mixer levels you should be able to make it come out of your speakers depending on your sound card [04:12] I don't get the point, if you want a Mac, just buy a Mac. If you want an OS that does what YOU want, run Linux. If you would rather fight Malware all day long, then get Windows. Macs are fine for audio/Video production, but only because the hardware isn't flexible [04:12] mmm automatix rings a bell thanks [04:12] smooker_: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xerver-xorg" i believe [04:12] Rug: does text only turn red if you put a 'Rug: blah blah' at the start of it?

[04:13] jimmygoon: i know, never used it, just know what it does ;p [04:13] andreuu, I would NOT recommend automatix, it has its own factoid [04:13] calm: I don't think rhythmbox is meant to open individual files.

[04:14] bazhang_: no, the program CSD/ISIS [04:15] Peddy, jimmygoon i agree [04:15] kelsin: yes, the line in was muted. Thank you very much [04:15] task0: what does it do [04:15] dtork: np [04:15] Peddy, but I don't know, I only have sse2 and leopard is only 50% restored from my legal copy (acho) [04:15] Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz E6750 [04:15] lol [04:15] Peddy: it'll be more then fine [04:15] Jordan_U: yea whenever i reconfig its usually the whol shebang === dfeeser is now known as paradigmX [04:15] bazhang_: is a program made by UNESCO for databases === paradigmX is now known as paradigm [04:15] i just updated my software and added the compiz configuration...where would I find that to start making some changes [04:15] sudo dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg doesnt works [04:15] sicc-work, No, we aren't making them up, we are generating them randomly with the command "cat /dev/urandom | grep commandyness" [04:15] :) [04:15] Peddy: why do you want to run OSX?

Its only $200 [04:16] thanks [04:16] task0: no idea then you could check packages.ubuntu.com though it may not be in there [04:16] Jordan_U: how do I knwo that's not a fake command! [04:16] soldats, That's because you aren't adding the "-phigh" === paradigm is now known as paradigmX [04:16] Peddy, only 200 [04:16] Rug: for fun. what can I say. [04:16] :P I've got between 200-400 KiB/s [04:16] Peddy, you can give that "only 200" over this way if you would like... [04:16] The last OS I bought was OS/2 Warp [04:16] Marfi: I would rather pay for software development than pirate it. [04:17] and the first was MS Dos v5 [04:17] Jordan_U: yes i realize that know i never knew that but now that i know i will use it if necesssary thank you for the info on it [04:17] Peddy, pssh.... if you have a widescreen you'll soon find out that $200 might not go as far as you would like [04:17] Peddy, unless they've fixed that issue in more recent patches/hacks.... [04:17] is not there bazhang_ =/ [04:17] but Marfi ....isnt there an actual control panel that offers certain effects? [04:17] Marfi: especially the torrent taking 5 weeks to download. [04:18] I have a Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02) and I get irc and synaptic and web pages times out. [04:18] bpds: Ah. That's kind of silly, isn't it? It seems like it should be pretty easy to make rhythmbox load and play an audio file when you "open with" rhythmbox... [04:18] I have found this... but i dont know how to use it... http://www.unesco.org/isis/files/winisis/unix/cds-isis.tar [04:18] fekall, yes, you have to download it. let me find the name of the package really fast [04:18] fekall, didn't you just say you enabled it? [04:18] yes [04:18] jimmygoon: I don't have widescreen. But my other hardware will probably not work. [04:18] but i cant find the actual control panel for it [04:18] that's really the only thing preventing me from using rhythmbox as my default audio player === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [04:18] then it would be there :P [04:18] http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/perl/libbiblio-isis-perl task0 [04:18] fekall, what exactly did you instlal? [04:18] fekall, compizconfig-settings-manager. if you have problems with hte borders missing, you will need compiz-gnome also [04:19] error: SDL.h: No such file or directory. In KDevelop, I am trying to compile the default SDL project. Can someone help me? [04:19] fekall, google for "gutsy custom compiz" and it will come up, add "fusion" as a keyword if necessary and it will tell you the exact packages to install to get the "Compiz Config Panel" or what not [04:19] thank you marfi! [04:19] fekall, np. =) [04:19] calm: right click an MP3, click on properties, click on 'open with' and select RB.

A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [04:19] Peddy, if i was able to afford it, i would too. =) [04:19] calm: I use rhythmbox to manage my entire music player. I use totem to play individual files. [04:19] bazhang_: what can i do with a perl library? [04:19] calm, amarok is nice also [04:20] calm, especially for large playlists [04:20] bazhang_: i have this... http://www.unesco.org/isis/files/winisis/unix/cds-isis.tar but i dont know how to use it [04:20] calm: I meant manage my entire music collection not player... [04:20] VLC is good too [04:20] Marfi: I would download it if the torrent doesn't take 5 weeks, like Deluge is saying. [04:20] hi...can Ubuntu read/write to an NTFS partition? [04:20] Undead_Zeus, install the libsdl-dev package (use "apt-cache search" to find it) and install apt-file to use it for finding packages that contain files like "SDL.h" in the future ---- trust me... it is VERY useful [04:20] Peddy: That's exactly what I'm talking about. That doesn't work. [04:20] Rafabe: yes [04:20] How can I install Wext? [04:20] Peddy, i don't blame you one bit [04:20] good things come to those who wait === lupakan_sajalah_ is now known as lonely_guy [04:20] task0: it's a module that will read ISIS databases [04:20] Marfi personally I think torrents are crap [04:20] zdh: will I need to play around in configuration files, or will it do it natively? [04:20] bpds: rythmbox is better for both of you wats for music library and single file if you need a better single file player id suggest using a command line based player such as mocp [04:20] would brasero or gnomebaker be suitable for burning vcd? [04:20] Peddy: If you actually try that, and then double-click on an audio file, Rhythmbox will open, but it doesn't play the file. [04:21] bazhang_: can i PM? [04:21] Peddy, got your firewall set up right? or better yet, does your torrent have decent seeders/peers? [04:21] task0: if your registered [04:21] Rafabe: you dont have to do anything [04:21] Calm: ok sorry :) I can't help you with that [04:21] jimmygoon: Thanks, much appreciated, i will let you know if it works [04:21] thanks zdh [04:21] Peddy, if so then your only limiting factor should be seeding peers and your bandwidth download [04:21] np :) [04:21] task0: I really know nothing about this--I'm at the limit already [04:21] jimmygoon: 42 seeders.

Microsoft software in ##windows (Please note Freenode Policy) - Thanks. [04:22] Marfi , I installed utorrent with wine and have not looked back . deluge works ok ,but not the best bit torrent out there . Azureus is good ,but take a lot of configing [04:22] what about ktorrent? [04:22] You can ip blocking it with just an plugin [04:22] bazhang_: maybe you can at least give a look at that tar and see if you can imagine how do i run that soft [04:22] tarelerulz: Marfi i enjoy rtorrant a whole bunch, have firefox auto put .torrent's into my watch folder, no thought at all [04:22] ToddEDM: Avant window manager is good, I am using it now [04:22] tarelerulz: ktorrent is a lot better even azures is for linux and is superior [04:22] ToddEDM: the avant window manager will do it at the bottom--if that helps--looks just like leopard dock iirc [04:22] would brasero or gnomebaker be suitable for burning vcd? [04:23] tarelerulz, deluge has that too [04:23] task0: it's compiled for AT&T unix, might be pretty hard, I doubt most in this channel will have any experience with that [04:23] tarelerulz, I had been using utorrent/wine but the integration was nice.... [04:23] !guidelines [04:23] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [04:23] task0: no idea--untar it and then install it I imagine [04:23] task0: I would start by reading the readme file in the tar [04:23] ToddEDM also look at wbar [04:23] well im installing gkrellm [04:23] tarelerulz, I liked azurues but the java overhead and the weird ubuntu-packaging problems from a year+ ago kinda discouraged me [04:23] gkrellm isnt tat bad in my opinion [04:24] to install the core for fxce4 I need to just type in "sudo apt-get install fxce4-core" ? [04:24] I have used rtorrent , Ktorrent and Deluge and found Utorrent is still the best and easyest to use. jimmygoon: How do I use apt-file to find SDL.h? [04:24] Undead_Zeus, is it installed? [04:24] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=620261 prak [04:24] jimmygoon: I just installed it [04:24] Undead_Zeus, "apt-file search SDL.h" should do it [04:24] Undead_Zeus: you need to install the libsdl.h packages then I think you need to include "SDL/SDL.h" not just "SDL.h" or vice versa, I forget [04:25] tarelerulz: ktorrnet is alot like utorrent in config youdo it through the gui [04:25] soldats: where do i configure/start it, after i installed it [04:25] Undead_Zeus, you can also use the web interface which may actually be faster .... http://packages.ubuntu.com (I think( [04:25] kelsin, bazhang_ no luck there... i dont have really any experience buiding/or compiling things... the readme does not give me any information i can understand :( [04:25] terminla gkrellm i think i havent used it in a while [04:25] Does anyone know what the command is to install the XFCE4 core? is it xfce4-core ?? [04:25] Undead_Zeus, libsdl1.2-dev: usr/include/SDL/SDL.h [04:26] tarelerulz, azureus = horrible for linux. always crashes for me [04:26] you were right [04:26] task0: it's also a binary tar file for AT&T unix, not exactly linux, I doubt you'll have much luck, I know that's way before my time lol [04:26] bazhang: sorry about that, I actually was only here to check my CPU specs. but that is no excuse for talking about installing a modified version of OSX which I would happily pay for, on a non-apple PC. Sorry again! [04:26] Do any of you know why web pages time out. I am using ndiswrapper to load my wireless card . I get irc and synaptic to work ,but web pages time out [04:26] Ok, yes I found it [04:26] thenetduck, *just* the core? or are you converting to xfce? [04:26] but how do I fetch it? [04:26] uh [04:26] hey guys im having some counter-strike source problems. ive installed it through wine and all it does is show the picture of the two policemen and then go away no error or anything. [04:26] Undead_Zeus: the libsdl-dev package? [04:26] Undead_Zeus, "sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev" [04:27] Dankchild, are you using steam to play it? [04:27] Azureus is hard on windows and even hard on Linux and i have yet to get it installed right on Ubuntu . I have had synaptic not install a lot of programs wrong [04:27] kelsin,jimmygoon: I already have it [04:27] I guess my problem was already known: https://bugs.launchpad.net/rhythmbox/+bug/62430 [04:27] marfi, yes [04:27] Undead_Zeus, heh, you need that package installed, not just that file otherwise you'll be retreiving individual files.... for like the next three weeks... there could be hundreds->thousands of individual files [04:27] Dankchild: it's all on steam website on how to get CS:S running under steam. which works [04:27] Undead_Zeus: did you try my suggestiong of changing the includes from "SDL.h" to "SDL/SDL.h"? [04:27] "...not install a lot of programs wrong"? [04:27] jimmygoon, just the core, I don't want any apps installed but the ubuntu base system and place I can build from scratch what I want my system to look like [04:27] kelsinn, any channel for asking help on AT&T unix? [04:27] jimmygoon, converting from gentoo [04:28] task0: I have no idea, I have not met one person still using a AT&T branded version of unix [04:28] #ubuntu_brasil [04:28] ToddEDM right click on gkrellm to configure it [04:28] Undead_Zeus, oh, um, try checking the include paths as kelsin is suggesting and then take things to ##workingset or ##C++ and check your compiling commands, etc [04:28] tarelerulz: i used azures for a long tiem but it was slow i had noproblem with it crashing but i believe ktorrent is superior because it a derivitive of utorrent [04:28] Dankchild, what version of ubuntu are you using? [04:28] Undead_Zeus: or the sdl forums / mailing lists [04:28] thenetduck, ah, cause the only thing I know of is "xubuntu-desktop" which is the whole shebang sorry [04:28] jimmygoon: it is already installed; kelsin: I just did that and it doesn't give me that particular error, but it does give me errors "undefined reference to 'SDL_Init'" and several others [04:29] Undead_Zeus: or you solved your first problem [04:29] Undead_Zeus, those sound like library linking errors [04:29] not you have to configure KDevelop to include the libsdl libraies [04:29] Undead_Zeus, which means install "libsdl1.2" now [04:29] marfi, feisty [04:29] :P [04:29] kelsin,jimmygoon: i guess it is a matter of configuring KDevelopp now [04:29] the -lSDL gcc command line [04:29] that too [04:29] Undead_Zeus: I have no experience with KDevelop so good luck [04:29] which package contains ffmpeg's dev files, like avcodec.h? [04:30] kelsin thanks any way =( [04:30] Dankchild, yes, but what version of wine? [04:30] jimmygoon: It says it is not available [04:30] So, how can one just lose their network after leaving the computer sitting doing nothing for a few hours? [04:30] thanks bazhang_ [04:30] soldats, I did not know ktorrent was a derivitive of utorrent . I might give it other look once I get wireless working [04:30] Package libsdl1.2 is not available, but is referred to by another package. [04:31] Xacarith: means the network card was put to sleep to save energy most likely [04:31] Undead_Zeus, listen to kelsin he is right [04:31] Undead_Zeus, make sure you link against SDL and you should be fine [04:31] if it where I'd have lost internet connection as well, which I have not [04:31] marfi, the latest [04:31] tarelerulz: if you got to the config menu in ktorrent you should be able to set it up for what you need if you need more help with it just ask [04:31] ok how do i get this avant window manager? [04:31] Undead_Zeus: you're problem now probably has to do with configuring your KDevelop project to include the libsdl library, libsdl1.2-dev depends on the main library [04:31] is ktorrent reliant upon the qt core though? [04:32] thats why I hate dealing with kAPPNAME stuff :( [04:32] jimmygoon: it needs qt to run [04:32] Argh [04:32] So much work to make SDL work [04:32] Dankchild, .9.49 has a platinum rank with CS:S on wineHQ. can you get the exact version of it for me? =) [04:32] which package contains ffmpeg's dev files, like avcodec.h? [04:32] Undead_Zeus: it's all part of learning how to program in c/c++ [04:32] jimmacdonald, You might like deluge-torrent or rtorrent [04:32] HI, me again. I managed to mount my shared folders using smb... now, is it possible to browse shared folders wirelessly -my shift key doesnt work- === kirika is now known as soldats [04:33] someone know how to edit\compile open source ( notepad2 ) in windows ? ( writen in c++ ) ? [04:33] xzased: what do you mean wirelessly? Any time you're own your home network you'll can browse to that share, wireless makes no difference [04:33] marfi, i think its 0.9.50 [04:33] DivideZer: not really a good question for this channel [04:34] Undead_Zeus, trust me. it oooonly gets worse :( but then much later it gets better [04:34] :( though people here understnad in source codes [04:34] jimmygoon: something to look forward to :P [04:34] DivideZer: if you stayed in the channel long I'm sure you qould realize the opposite [04:34] I mean, if I can browse the shared folder on a wired pc while I am using wireless [04:34] xzased: sure [04:35] DivideZer, if you want it you could use wine and download the .exe and run it in wine [04:35] DivideZer, this is a room for ubuntu as in the operating system [04:35] a ko sorry [04:35] Great. Thanks man [04:35] DivideZer, are you trying to edit it and change the windows executable or what? try ##C++ [04:35] Next question, why do my network settings keep changing them selves. My workgroup keeps changing it's self back to 'WORKGROUP' and my server string keeps going to 'Samba 3.0.26a' [04:35] Xacarith: how are you setting them? [04:36] I wished nm-applet and my "Location" setting in the network-admin panel worked together :/ === [2]joeyjones is now known as joeyjones [04:36] floodbot? [04:36] Dankchild, i have no idea. according to wineHQ, it should work OOTB [04:36] Through Samba Um Configure - KDE control Module [04:36] nickrud, i think it controls how many people in a room [04:37] soldats: yeah, I gathered that part; I wonder why === Marfi is now known as Marfi|anime [04:37] Marfi, i read somewhere that it wouldnt work with 9.49 or later, is there anyway i can downgrade? [04:37] nickrud: so the channel doesn't get flooded of course [04:37] nickrud, i have no idea the first time i ever saw it was today [04:37] does bluetooth work on linux ? I just a pair of blueant bluetooth headphones, what are the chances Ub will make them work ? [04:37] kitche: ;p [04:37] jimmygoon, kelsin: I don't know what happened, i put in "sdl-config --cflags --libs" in the link and configure flag thingys. It didn't work, i deleted them, now it works! [04:37] andreuu, yes [04:37] !bluetooth [04:37] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [04:37] Undead_Zeus, :S [04:37] !bluetooth |and [04:37] and: please see above [04:38] awesome, umm what if it has a proprietary mode on the usb dongle as well... [04:38] ndiswrapper ..mmaybe ? [04:38] Uhh, one more thing... [04:38] Undead_Zeus, so you are using autotools? or using your IDE's built in toolchain - that was the first step that I relaized was bad [04:38] ndiswrapper suxors [04:38] "/bin/sh: konsole: not found" [04:38] i am using auto tools [04:38] anybody know if i can run a dhcp server behind a router that's already running one? can i forward the port dhcp uses? if so, what port does it use by default? [04:38] since I don't know how to make makefiles [04:38] erm [04:38] andreuu, i havent read it because i dont use it but i hear it works for many thing id suggest reading it [04:38] Undead_Zeus, the various IDE's don't give very good control IMO over that stuff... so I ended up doing it all manually :P [04:39] oldmanstan: disable routers dhcp [04:39] yeah the other q wasnt about bt, but thanks guys [04:39] then google for dhcps port [04:39] Undead_Zeus, if it makes any difference autotools is makefiles... just ... diferent [04:39] jimmygoon: one day when I need to worry about speed, i will investigate makefiles [04:39] oldmanstan: you can't have two dhcp servers on the same network reliably, due to what they have to do, they listen on 255.255.255.255 [04:39] andreuu, bt? [04:39] jimmygoon: maybe then I will have a better understanding [04:40] Undead_Zeus, its not that... its that if you end up using "oddball" libraries or need special "cases" in compiling you will have to have more fine control [04:40] ahh, i see, then will i still be able to get on the interwebs and such if the machine with the dhcp server running is powered off? [04:40] Undead_Zeus: by autotools did you mean Kdevelop and IDE's in general? === doseryder is now known as doseryder|sleep [04:40] kelsin: i just meant the package thing i got...automake or something of the sort [04:40] Undead_Zeus, like I wanted one autotools setup to work in windows and linux and so I had to learn to do the testing for if winpcap then link with winpcap else link against libpcap.... etc [04:40] What would you all recommend.... ubuntu? or xubuntu? [04:41] Undead_Zeus, learn C++ first though :P it helps makes sense of the rest of it.... and maybe its all overkil for what you want/need [04:41] ubuntu [04:41] ricksta: xubuntu on older machines [04:41] Undead_Zeus, just my thoughts [04:41] You can still install kde later on [04:41] ricksta: read up about the differences between gnome and xfce, and then decide based on features / look [04:41] ricksta: I use Fluxbox [04:41] or whatever you want [04:41] ricksta, i use xubuntu and my personal opinion is itsa faster [04:41] jimmygoon: yeah... i just wanted to get some code down first..before i had to start worrying about linking and compiling and makefiles and all sorts of other stuff [04:41] "The little bitch is off to see the Wizard" lol [04:41] There is even fubuntu I think [04:41] jimmygoon: i just want to make a few applications with SDL :P [04:41] ricksta, mostly looks the same but xfce is smaller and should run faster [04:41] Undead_Zeus: you might be better off using gcc on the command line [04:41] !language | jamescarr [04:41] jamescarr: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:41] ricksta, right now, ubuntu w/ gnome... but in the future.... maybe ubuntu/kubuntu with kde4 --- cause it looks awesome! [04:42] Undead_Zeus: since KDevelop and all others on linux normally use them anyway [04:42] kelsin: i like kdevelop, it has some nifty features [04:42] marfi, would you know how to downgrade to 9.40? [04:42] * nickrud gets it now [04:42] Is flooding painful to the server or something? [04:42] Undead_Zeus: just pointing it out, since the problems you've come here with are common things to learn about when using the toolchain yourself [04:42] What I look for in most programming language editors is projects, and if I have that, I am fine [04:43] hello [04:43] help folks - has anyone had any success using a Canon Powershot as a webcam? [04:43] Undead_Zeus, ##workingset is AWESOME. They are really help ful for the noobie autotools stuff :) [04:43] nope, it's painful for our eyes [04:43] !noob | jimmygoon [04:43] jimmygoon: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [04:43] so, if my computer has like 256 mb ram and about 1.5 ghz..... what would be better for me xubuntu or ubuntu? [04:43] What does "toolchain" mean? [04:43] soldats, oh well [04:43] Undead_Zeus: the tools used, gcc, ld, etc [04:44] ricksta, xfce i have what you have and i find it superior [04:44] Undead_Zeus: KDevelop and most other gnubased IDEs all use those on the back end [04:44] ricksta, - buy some more ram, if you can afford it :) [04:44] ricksta: xubuntu, definitely until you put in at least 512 , or more [04:44] Undead_Zeus, I (probably improeperly) use it to refer to autotools and automake/ makefiles autoconf/configure.ac etc [04:44] jimmygoon, this was explained to me when i first started messing with linux. KDE is linux wanting to look and act like windows, Gnome is linux wanting to look and act like a mac. =) [04:44] Undead_Zeus, which is a lot of the stuff behind the scenes [04:44] jimmygoon, im sorry i did that but i have nothing wrong with that word but some people do so i like to try to keep with the majority rule [04:44] ah hah... [04:45] ic... thanx for all of your help. :) [04:45] lol Marfi|anime that's blasphemous [04:45] ricksta I use xfce on a 1.75G coreduo with 1gb ram...runs pretty quick [04:45] I read the new ndiswrapper Says I need kernel 2.6.26 . How would I go about getting that . any way with synaptic [04:45] soldats, its fine but I'm guessing the rule was meant to be so that users wouldn't be rude and call each other names, etc, which wasn't my intention [04:45] nickrud, compare the look of both of them. KDE menu, start menu. menu bar at the top, Gnome menu bar. ;) [04:45] tarelerulz: no, you'd need to roll a custom one [04:45] ricksta, i have ubuntu with the same ram as you it ran fine until i had all the apps i wanted, at that time it ran really sow but with xfce it runs a lot smoother [04:45] Marfi|anime, thats a bit pretentious :P [04:45] ricksta, i aam running BOTH, xubuntu ANd Ubuntu, with 1.8 running at 2.4 and 256 [04:45] tarelerulz: no where, 2.6.26 is not out yet [04:45] KDE's sucking of resources...windows. =P [04:45] ##workingset is relatively dead compared to this channel. I have one more question: "konsole not found" [04:45] as of right now, im using xubuntu..... but i notice some lagg.... and i cant really run many programs at once [04:45] /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext... ? [04:45] Marfi|anime: been using gnome for years, it's nothing like a mac :) [04:45] Has anyone seen when you change your resolution that compiz just stops working? [04:46] I am really lost as to what I need to do to get my wireless card working [04:46] hello [04:46] jimmygoon, yes i just realized that but that word is not such a great adjective in itself [04:46] nickrud, i know. it just has some similarities in look imo [04:46] Marfi|anime, all I know, is the awful default theme of KDE/Kubuntu now is so awful that I can't even come close to trying to delve through it... its just so repulsive [04:46] wanna ask..how to set beryl running at startup [04:46] tarelerulz, have ou looked at the forums or googled it [04:46] brb [04:46] jimmygoon, thus why i use gnome [04:46] thor i dont think gkrellm is what im looking for [04:46] hey guys how would i go about downgrading to a different version of wine? [04:47] Dankchild: any reason you want to do this? [04:47] Dankchild: apt-get remove wine , then dpkg -i the version you want. [04:47] Q: Is there a way to access an ext3 filesystem in windows xp??? [04:47] hi, how can i find out how big a folder an his subfolders are ? [04:47] realshiva: the du command "man du" for more details [04:47] kelsin, the newer version doesnt work with counterstrike [04:47] what im looking for is ... i think its stardock on windows.. [04:47] Marfi|anime, that could change for me though.... I'm painfully used to gedit/nautilus/etc... especially with the latest bits of integration from compiz/gnome/appearance/etc and the evolution of the preferences/admin stuff.... but meh, change is good [04:47] thx kelsin [04:47] realshiva, du command [04:47] I have 3 or 4 different drivers with ndiswrapper and my wireless card still don't work . I think maybe b43 might work ,but I don't know how to install b43 fwcutter either compiling it or synaptic [04:47] ToddEDM, :( you won't get bloated spyware in ubuntu :P [04:47] ToddEDM, you mean sysmetrix? [04:48] i want all the icons in my panel on a dock [04:48] ToddEDM, try avant-window-navigator [04:48] tarelerulz: try installing bcm43xx-fwcutter [04:48] ToddEDM...for that try wbar [04:48] jimmygoon, i agree with you...but after looking at some of the pics for KDE 4, looks too much like the big fat Vista [04:48] jimmygoon: something similar [04:48] ToddEDM, thats basically exactly what you want I think [04:48] hi, i was applying some gutsy tweaks, but now when i restart, it says "hailed to initialize hal" [04:48] wbar [04:48] any ideas? [04:48] Hello. I'm running Gutsy on a LiveCD... and I noticed that my headphone jack isn't working... anyone know how to fix that? [04:48] ok thor [04:48] SamFisher47: what tweaks were you adding? [04:48] Nickrud I did try installing bcm43xx-fwcutter and it said it could not work [04:49] tarelerulz: 'it said it could not work' doesn't mean much [04:49] Marfi|anime, they haven't finalized that though.... that is just the default style of their "widgets" or whatever ... which the taskbar is... the last screencast says thats going to change [04:49] various tweaks, such as disabling bluetooth services, etc, from various websites [04:49] I could try it again and see what it tell me [04:49] Ok, so fun question. Is there a quick command to reinstall...everything? [04:49] echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches Question: how do I run that command as root? [04:49] how do i get avant-window-navigator from terminal [04:49] ToddEDM, avant maybe [04:50] danbhfive: sudo echo 3 | tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches [04:50] tarelerulz: I'm no wireless guru, I'm just talking about install here, by the way :) [04:50] danbhfive: either su - to root, or sudo [04:50] ToddEDM, you'll have to do a google search to add the repository to your sources.lst file [04:50] Viaken2: what is your goal, is your install screwed up in some way? [04:50] ok Marfi|anime [04:50] Viaken2 interesting [04:50] i will brb, one possible solution is to disable auto-login [04:50] ToddEDM, try "avant" in a terminal [04:50] jsoftw: you should recommend sudo -i for the root shell, helps reduce confusion :) [04:50] /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext ??? any help? [04:51] ToddEDM, avant-window-manager-svn in synaptic. my bad. ;) [04:51] jsoftw: su'ing to root works, but sudo did not, thats why I was asking for help actually [04:51] hi, I can't type in my password at the splash screen because it has an "é" and I can't type those, what can I do? [04:51] Marfi|anime, in official ubuntu repos? [04:51] on Gutsy [04:51] *tries again* :) I'm running Gutsy on a LiveCD... and I noticed that my headphone jack isn't working... anyone know how to fix that? [04:51] ToddEDM, avant-window-navigator-svn [04:51] is it possible to access an ubuntu hard drive from windows? [04:51] danbhfive: yeah I dont really use sudo a lot. If I need a root shell I su - [04:51] jimmygoon, yup, just checkedi t [04:51] vn, log in as single user and change your pw [04:51] kelsin: Err, yeah. Last boot, got complaints of /usr/lib/libgnomeui2.so.0 not existing. A little troubleshooting and I ran fsck from the LiveCD and it removed /usr/lib. [04:52] http://www.fs-driver.org/ [04:52] danbhfive: sudo -i didn't give you a rot shell? [04:52] Getting wireless working with Ubuntu seem like pipe dream for the most part [04:52] Viaken2, I'm sorry, but when I read that I laughed out loud [04:52] kelsin: Apparently if fsck.jfs can't fix a directory listing, it just removes it. :P [04:52] jimmygoon: No problem. :P I did, too. [04:52] nickrud, su gives you a root shell as well [04:52] ext file systems in windows http://www.fs-driver.org/ [04:52] Viaken2: well there could be reasons it can't, I would just install again, def quicker then trying to dpkg install stuff [04:52] mwilliam13, are you just spamming that or what? [04:52] soldats: true, but most people don't have a root password here [04:53] no... there was a question from WGGMk [04:53] My /home is fine and I can run apt-get/aptitude from a chroot. :P [04:53] I thought it was "sudo -s" [04:53] Q: I have installed office2003 via crossover office, and intend to install the tool that MS offers for office2003 users so that they could open 2007 file formats. However, that requires SP3 and when I try to install it again via crossover, is says it is missing windows staller (I think the MSI thinggie). Anyway to solve this? thanks [04:53] :P I think ew've had this disco before [04:53] mwilliam13, ok, my bad :) [04:53] Ah ok...I can do that, too. I suppose. :P [04:53] nickrud, ahh just a suggestion to the person your trying to help [04:53] jimmygoon: that gives you your personal home as $HOME , -i uses /root [04:53] sure thing [04:53] lXext? google search says xlibs-dev, but that's installed already [04:53] jimmygoon: you mean recovery mode? [04:53] jimmygoon: sudo -s gives you a root shell, sudo -i gives you a root login shell so you get a new env and your home dir set correctly and stuff like that [04:54] jimmygoon: -s can make your dotfiles root owned if you're not careful [04:54] nickrud, :O [04:54] nickrud: well I dunno, I actually got into a root shell by running 'sudo su'. The reason I asked the question is that I wanted to know how to run it from the command line, without having to start up a root shell [04:54] nickrud, that would actually explain some things :/ [04:54] vn, um yeah [04:54] damn it was THAT easy! [04:54] jimmygoon: it's why people say 'use gksudo' with gnome [04:54] vn, google ubuntu dapper and the dapper page will show up and pind the section about changing the root passowrd or the password you need to change in cli [04:54] With bcm43xx-fwcutter do you still need a driver file ? [04:55] soldats: got it, thanks [04:55] but still...how do I get my é at the splash screen? [04:55] vn, ok cool im glad [04:55] had that problem on dapper, edgy, opensuse 1.2 and 10.3,,, [04:55] vn, you may need to use some "alt ***" commands [04:55] if they work [04:55] tarelerulz: no. if you have a broadcom wifi card, the bcm43xx-fwcutter will do it... you must have a dell laptop. [04:55] such as? [04:56] vn, try looking at your charmap and see what the command is im not fluent in odd letters [04:56] I have a HP Pavillion dv600 laptop and a Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02) wireless card [04:57] tarelerulz: ah. dell brands a broadcomm card as their own "true mobile" but still utilize the broadcom drivers... it should still work out for you though. [04:57] hi, my hal is still not working [04:57] despite turning off auto-login [04:57] If I were to buy a new hard drive, would there be a simple way to copy my entire filesystem's partition onto it? Mine's an old IDE clunker and I'm looking to get something with a bit more speed. [04:58] vn, U+00E9 [04:58] how do I do that? [04:58] i believe the last 'tweak' i applied was to add profile to the end of the grub entry, and boot [04:58] vn, its what my charmap says [04:58] how do i uninstall enlightement 16 ? [04:58] k [04:58] This may sound dumb ,but do you need to donwload driver files or does it get the information from the hardware its [04:58] i want to use e17 [04:58] anyone know how to fix the 'failed to initialize hal' error? [04:58] vn, im not sure i usually copy paste but i believe it with the "alt"key [04:58] kelsin? [04:58] soldats: I guess it has to do with my locale? [04:58] k [04:59] how do i uninstall e16 [04:59] c0Ld: you can use any imaging software, such as tools on a live disc on gparted [05:00] gunnar: in Gutsy? sudo apt-get install enlightenment [05:00] or searh enlightenment in Synaptic [05:00] i just installed e17 but i cant use it because i only enter the old one [05:00] gunnar, sudo apt-get autoremove enlightenment" [05:00] gunnar: use synaptic, ctl-f enlightenment , mark all for deletion [05:00] c0Ld: go here: http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=134457\\ [05:00] c0Ld: go here: http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=134457 [05:00] c0Ld: why dont you just backup the /home directory? [05:00] gunnar, without quotes [05:00] when I load emule from a term window it has to stay open , what do I do make a text file with sudo wine ~/.wine/c_drive/Program Files/emule/emule.exe in it [05:00] thanks [05:00] and chmod it and put it on desktop ? [05:01] aho, that autoremove is useful after all [05:01] andreuu, right click -> new- > launcher [05:01] nickrud, yes it is i use it alot [05:01] i try alot of packages and send error reports [05:01] soldats: I use aptitude, so I haven't done much but notice it exists so far. I'll look closer, thanks [05:02] can anyone help me with ekiga? it says stun is blocked and i can't figure out the proper way to route it.... [05:02] nickrud, hah not so may new people know about it but i have used it as well i think of it a a "dirty" way to uninstall [05:02] I love dpkg and pkg management :) [05:02] ekida* [05:02] soldats: pretty soon apt will catch up :) [05:02] عربي [05:02] nickrud, hah yea i think so too [05:02] er, apt-get that is :) [05:02] when i open some avi files by double clicking on them mplayer gives me an error 'failed to open; filename.avi'.. but if i open mplayer first they play fine??? [05:03] revilodraw, i think it is a bug it has happened to me as well [05:03] What is the best video editing software package that folks would recommend? [05:03] i just upgraded to feisty how do i change my repositories from edgy to feisty? [05:03] soldats; will it be fixed [05:03] bcm43xx-fwcutter I get this Sorry, the input file is either wrong or not supported by bcm43xx-fwcutter. [05:03] This file has an unknown MD5sum 746f59822a5187510471fc46889b8cc9. [05:03] s/best/best and free/ [05:03] makaveli: if you upgraded, they already are. you can check by looking at /etc/apt/sources.list [05:03] revilodraw, i believe its been reported so i assume it will if you like the player id suggest reporting it again [05:04] nickrud: that's exactly what i needed thank you [05:05] do i need to tweak the ubuntu firewall for ekiga? i'm using a linux router btw [05:06] nickrud: do you know of any other repositories i can add other than the restricted, multivers and univers? [05:06] tarelerulz: there's a 008 release at http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4547 for the cutter, you might check that out [05:06] soldats; i will do that... also vlc plays these same videos like its on lsd... complete blur [05:07] Nickrud I did go there ,but it don't tell you have to install the the new fw cutter [05:07] !seveas [05:07] Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for Feisty and earlier for several packages. More info (and mirrors) on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - And he's getting married! [05:07] does anyone know what the problem is if you click on gtk-gnutella from the internet menu and nothing happens tried reinstlalling and still does the same thing [05:07] revilodraw, hmm i will have to check in on that, your best bet is to use the one that plays the best for now. in the future it may be resolved, vlc has always worked for thogh [05:07] makaveli: that's the only one I reccomend [05:07] ok [05:08] So after I installed ubuntu... it worked perfectly... then I hit the crt/lcd button to output it to a screen... it continued to work... Then I reset the computer... and now the graphics are all messed up... It can't sense my graphics card or something... [05:08] how do i get a ctrl alt del task manger type window ? [05:08] it tell you how to use it one install hardware ,but not how to install it . [05:08] !medibuntu | makaveli [05:08] makaveli: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [05:08] tarelerulz: what I was thinking is that that cutter might have updated info on files, and recognize your card [05:08] ethos, did you install firestarter? otherwise there is no built in firewall for ubunut [05:08] ethos, but yeah, you'll have to make exceptions throguh your router if ekiga needs to use certain ports [05:09] I don't know what's happening with it... Any ideas? [05:09] jimmygoon, iptables is installed and running by default, actually, but it doesn't (IIRC) have any rules set [05:09] jimmygoon: i thought ubuntu asked me when i first installed it friday night about firewall settings... i didn't tell it to install... [05:09] andreuu, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_enable_Ctrl.2BAlt.2BDel_to_open_System_Monitor_in_GNOME this may help [05:10] Nickrud that is what I thought too that is why I went there to b43 so I might get my card working [05:10] ty [05:10] jimmygoon: i read on a thread about setting a certain port and i did that but it didn't do anything for me... [05:10] andreuu, not sure though but it may help [05:10] Madpilot, I knew someone would say that :P [05:10] I bought a gateway laptop with ati 2400 video [05:10] The part I had problem with is install the program itself and I don't see on the net any where how to install the b43-fwcuttter [05:11] andreuu, gnome-system-monitor [05:11] jimmygoon, Glad I could help. :) Technically, firestarter is just a firewall manager/rule-creator, not the actual firewall. [05:11] Anyone know how I can test to make sure my graphics card is running [05:11] Madpilot, so does it just modify iptables rules then? [05:11] I feel like it's turned off or something [05:12] Baumer, is there stuff on your screen? [05:12] LOL [05:12] jimmygoon, far as I know, ya. I could well be wrong, though. [05:12] erm, not ment to be in caps [05:12] jimmygoon: it tells me NAT couldn't be detected and the stun server status is blocked or something to that effect [05:12] do folks like the Intel 3645 wifi ? [05:12] Ubuntu switched to some general driver... and everytime I switch it to what it was before it switches back [05:12] yeh... I guess it can't be off then [05:12] ethos, yeah, it probably means that ekiga needs to talk on a port and your router is blocking it [05:12] what do y'all use to join avi's? [05:12] whats new in ubuntu guys? [05:13] linxuz3r, magic [05:13] ethos, use the router to forward the ports ekiga need to listen on [05:13] Any ideas? [05:13] soldats: i'm looking it up now [05:14] tarelerulz: what chip did you say you have [05:14] jimmygoon: the one offered on the thread didn't work so i'll search again [05:14] nickrud I have Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02) [05:16] what prog joins avis? [05:16] kelsin: Actually, come to think of it, I can't do a normal install. :-\ [05:16] Wait, nevermind... === _Anubis is now known as Anubis [05:16] I just installed a program and it messed up when I try to log in Gnome. I tried doing a apt-get remove of the application but it's still having the same problem. Anyone know how I can remove traces of it? [05:16] It's just going to be a royal pain in the butt. [05:16] tarelerulz: have you looked at this page: http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43?action=show&redirect=en%2Fusers%2FDrivers%2Fbcm43xx#devicefirmware [05:17] bonjour, hi [05:17] Hey guys, im a new ubuntu user, and a new linux user. I installed python using the synaptic packet manager, and i cant seem to find where it installed to. I did the same thing for thunderbird and had no problems, it went right into the Internet tab. anyone got any ideas? [05:17] suttin: python you can run from the terminal [05:17] open it and type "python" [05:17] thank you [05:17] suttin, Python the programming language? it won't have a menu entry [05:17] suttin, type python in a terminal or type "whereis python" in a terminal to see where it is [05:17] Maybe I should just reinstall ubuntu... But I guess that must be a glitch... when you shut down ubuntu with it outputing to a second monitor? [05:17] My xsession-errors file is telling me that it's trying to run setuid or setguid, and it's not supported by GTK [05:18] thanks guys, so far good impressions comming from windows all my life [05:18] Always nice to hear. :) [05:18] what file should I edit to look for applications that run on startup? [05:18] when I try ctrl alt del , I get Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager. [05:18] suttin, im glad your interested in linux [05:19] suttin: you might want to search synaptic (ctl-f) python ide [05:19] Thanks nickrud , I will give it a look . My lan don't work right either I can't get web pages they time out [05:19] tarelerulz: I mention it because it has a link to firmware that should work [05:19] hi, is it possible with gparted to change a vfat partition to ntfs without wiping it? [05:19] The only thing I can get is irc , synaptic on both lan or wireless so I am in pickle [05:20] sexcopter, i believe changing it invloves formatting it [05:20] soldats: d'oh, that could be a pain [05:20] nickrud for my card controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02), That one ? [05:21] sexcopter, if im right then move your needed file to another HDD then format and make it ntfs [05:21] im getting a message that says that my system is suddenly "Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon' could this have been the result of a recent update? [05:21] Hi, how do you unmount a media (sda#) and prevent it from auto mounting on startup? [05:21] kkathman; mine does that sometimes... very annoying [05:21] So is there absolutely no easy way to reinstall everything on the system without doing a full install? I'd really rather not have to fight through compiling my sound drivers again... [05:21] soldats: i'll probably do that eventually, but right now i'm low on free space, so need to free up a lotta stuff [05:21] revilodraw, have you found a solution? [05:21] do everything in the xinit directory get run at startup? [05:21] thanks anyway [05:22] kkathman; reboot [05:22] lol [05:22] sexcopter, im sorry if you lived close to me i have a few spare HDDs i could spare [05:22] tarelerulz: it mentioned 4311, and pointed to a driver to use the cutter on [05:22] I'll try that [05:22] ugh [05:22] soldats: lol, no worries, cheers [05:22] sexcopter, dido [05:22] ok that avant is cool, but i kinda want to do something with the panel at the top [05:22] sup sluts [05:22] Ok, how about this. Does anyone know a file that keeps a list of the packages installed on your system? Something apt uses for housekeeping? [05:23] ToddEDM, check the avant home page [05:23] Thanks nickrud I will have to give it try .

What's wrong? [05:34] soldats: i'm using the gui tool [05:34] bulmer: I think it's being run on startup [05:35] kousotu: make a duplicate of the vista stanza in /boot/grub/menu.lst, and change the device to sda1 [05:35] secret901-> then look around /etc/init.d [05:35] Hey guys, i'm using an intel based wifi card with the driver iwl4965, i can connect to WPA networks but not WPA2 networks, any idea why i can't?

[05:38] 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) [05:38] aloha-frank, is it just a sec update or you wnat to upgrade the OS [05:39] when accessing my local phpmyadmin installation, apache isntead spits out the php code (other php code besides phpmyadmin work) [05:39] soldats: well upgrade the OS would be good i suppose [05:39] nickrud: ok i'll have to restart my machine for that [05:39] dahitokiri-> am guessing, is that part of the selinux features? [05:39] bulmer: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46658/ [05:39] aloha-frank, ok well i realize what you want but i just wonder why the gui didnt give you the option try "sudo apt-get upgrade" in a terminal [05:40] nickrud: sd1 is hd0,0? [05:40] kousotu: sda1 , yes [05:40] wow... [05:41] why it that booting Vista then? [05:41] bulmer, hm, seems like it. any idea how i'd disable it from linking with code that i write? [05:41] kousotu: first ide device, first partition (counting from 0) [05:41] aloha-frank, i think 7.10 is fiesty fawn [05:41] So, recently (I wish I knew how recently---I'm assuming it was some update pushed out in the last week), compiz.real has gotten in the habit of slowly eating up all available memory while gnome-screensaver is running, predictably rendering the system unusable after a couple hours. This happens every time, without fail. Am I alone in this? [05:41] Vista is on SD3 [05:41] 7.10 is gutsy [05:41] 7.10 is gutsy gibbon [05:42] 7.04 is feisty [05:42] soldats: i ran the cli and it seemed to not offer and upgrade but the gui does [05:42] bulmer: is everything in init.d run on startup? [05:42] pipegeek, in my experience all screensavers do that but im not sure [05:42] kousotu: i'm gonna go way out on a limb here, but check your boot.ini on xp? [05:42] altcd might let you upgrade [05:42] soldats: as in, all screensavers do this to compiz? [05:42] dahitokiri-> i really dont know which library would that be, you have to google for those in-depth [05:42] aloha-frank, ok well id suggest upgrading from the gui then [05:42] I cn do that :) [05:42] aloha-frank, it should do the sec updates as well [05:42] soldats: because that wasn't my experience until a week ago.... and, if that's true, why is compiz enabled by default in a standard gutsy install? [05:42] does anyone have a problem with firefox opening up the java.com homepage? [05:42] mine completly locks up [05:43] secret901-> no, the ones that start in S in /etc/rcN.d where N is 2-5 [05:43] this is 7.04 now [05:43] I'm able to go to java.com just fine [05:43] nickrud: [05:43] bulmer: they start when GNOME starts? which number should I be looking for?

I'm not an xp guy, and have only had one ms os at a time. I like them to be lonely [05:44] soldats: come again? [05:44] lol [05:44] aloha-frank, you shouldnt have to [05:45] bulmer, secret901 erm, i meant rcS.d [05:45] nickrud: I do tech work for friends, I needto use both [05:45] lol [05:45] soldats: how else to fix this complaint for update [05:45] nickrud-> good point [05:45] pipegeek, i only meant that i heard that the screensaver for gusty on compiz was faulty [05:45] Nickrud, bulmer: What are disabled when I run gnome on failsafe? I don't have that error when I go to failsafe [05:45] aloha-frank, ill try to find out hold on [05:46] secret901: I don't know, sorry. I've never really looked at the session startup stuff [05:46] soldats: ah [05:46] secret901-> umm i really dont know, I'd trace what that grub entry is and look at the script? [05:46] aloha-frank, does this work "sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [05:46] Vista's boot.ini is blank [05:47] bulmer: which script? === max846 is now known as max185 [05:47] secret901-> the failsafe?

[05:47] and what kind of keyboard should I specify for an IBM thinkpas r40? [05:47] pipegeek, sorry i never use screensavers it uses a lot of memory but ill try to lookup your problem [05:47] soldats: apt-get update is complaining about the package [05:47] hello, does anyone know a movie to be shown in public about linux [05:48] soldats: ' [05:48] both with gui or command line ; same [05:48] soldats: 'ppreciate it [05:48] aloha-frank, hmm did you try just doing "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [05:48] nickrud: think adding a SD3 load might wor?

[05:48] true [05:49] should i install skype from *.deb ? [05:49] but I'd have to do alot of work if it didn't [05:49] soldats: that gives this : 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

[06:01] Nickrud , If you around what is the link to a bcm43-cutter you gave me for my card ? It would seem i did not save it to a file like I hopped so when I went back into vista I could look up the link [06:01] kousotu this will help [06:01] kousotu: it would look for the boot loader on sda2 tat way [06:02] Anyone know of any programs for opening 700 meg tif files?

It tells you how to use it ,but not how to install it and the files themself don't tell you any thing [06:06] Jordan_U, ok well i hope it works for you [06:06] it aparently doesn't like you [06:06] lol [06:06] SHIT [06:06] what is the name of best flash player in ubuntu? [06:06] must be [06:06] hello [06:06] !hi | ubuntu [06:06] ubuntu: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [06:06] ankur, flash :) [06:06] ankur, i think totem plays flash [06:06] Is there a way to search all text files in a certain directory for a certain keyword? [06:06] kousotu do you IM programs [06:06] massive file, what understatement [06:06] alright I have a question about my nvidia drivers [06:07] Shadow147: take your pick [06:07] :) [06:07] does anybody have the snowy effect working on their compiz fusion??? [06:07] ankur, Unless you mean .flv player, in which case almost any media app will work [06:07] Section31 'grep' can do that. [06:07] the deskbar applet is a POS [06:07] kousotu send me you account name for msn [06:07] soldats: i seem to have figured it out somehow [06:07] robert__: define "snoey effect"? [06:07] oops that was for secret901 [06:07] :) [06:07] how are you? [06:07] tarelerulz: I took a look at the download, you would just download it, unpack it and cd into it, and run make [06:07] robert_, Are you just getting squares? [06:07] strangley the gui for software sources is listing version 6.10 [06:07] aloha-frank, awesome how? id like to know for future referencd [06:08] secret901 the grep command is darn handy for searching text files. [06:08] so i chose those and magically it stopped complaining bbiab [06:08] I have geforce ti 4200 and I installed 96.43 version and now ubuntu is screwed up [06:08] aloha-frank, ahh hmm im glad you got it settled then [06:08] Jordan i don't even have it on my window for compiz effect available [06:08] secret901: grep (and think about installing beagle, I find it Worked For Me™ [06:09] How do I get ssh listening on ubuntu? [06:09] do i just download it or what i am not sure what to do [06:09] Nickrud I did just that I cd into the uncompress directory and ran makefiles and nothing happened . that is why I was so lost [06:09] nickrud: doesn't beagle come with Gibbon? [06:09] tarelerulz: no, make [06:09] robert_, Do you have compiz-fusion-plugins-extra installed? [06:09] sshd, jsoft [06:09] Jordan_U: snow is in plugins-unsupported [06:09] jsoftw install the ssh server. sshd [06:09] secret901, no, tracker [06:09] which isn't in gutsy [06:09] secret901: I thought it was using tracker [06:10] i am not sure i downloaded it from the synaptic....i got everything that said compiz [06:10] robert_, Ahh, see crdlb's comment, it's in plugins-unsupported [06:10] nickrud: whatever it was, it was useless [06:10] what is that? do i search for plugins unsupported? [06:10] por favor? [06:11] i'm sorry i am a noob at this [06:11] !es | evfan42 [06:11] evfan42: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda. [06:11] Dr_Willis: weird. Doesnt come with it by default eh? [06:11] :) [06:11] darn you Jordan_U, you beat me :P [06:11] nickrud: how do I use grep to search a directory recursively [06:11] can I set sshd to listen to more ports then port 22? [06:11] secret901: grep -r (recursive) [06:11] robert_, Apparently it's also not included in the default repositories, so your going to have to look around for a .deb or install it manually :( [06:11] So you telling my nickrud that if I download b43-fwcutter and cd into the uncompressed dircotory and did make it should install the program ? there is Makefile in the directory . so I thought I should do ./Makefiles and it would do somehtng [06:12] lol I need help with my video card install [06:12] tarelerulz: no, make is a command that will read the makefile and run the commands in it (roughly) [06:12] well see i found this......http://gitweb.compiz-fusion.org/?p=fusion/plugins/snow;a=summary [06:12] tarelerulz, bcm43xx-fwcutter is available in the repos, no need to compile from source [06:12] tarelerulz: I'm assuming you have build-essential installed [06:13] tarelerulz: Jordan_U knows much more about wireless than I [06:13] tarelerulz, And I think that b43cutter == bcm43xx-fwcutter on Linux since b43 is called bcm43xx on Linux ( IIRC, I likely don't though :) [06:13] jordan do you know a wiki that can help show me how to rep the stuff? [06:13] nickrud: how do I start beagle after it's installed? [06:14] that is other problem I ran into is build-essential could not upgrade libc6 and g++ build-essential [06:14] So ok, how does the sshd server start up then? is it automagically started once I install it? [06:14] jsoft it should start once installed. [06:14] Cool, thanks. [06:14] It appearst o be. [06:14] how do I change my private ip address? [06:15] tarelerulz, "The b43 drivers (bcm43xx in mainline kernels, b43 and b43legacy in wireless-2.6 and 2.6.24 and later)" from http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 [06:15] anybody else have this same prople> [06:15] m? [06:15] jsoft: Yeah, if it's in /etc/init.d, it should just start up no problems. [06:15] to a static one from my current dynamic one that is using the dhcp from my router? [06:15] Ok, now does anyone here do any pic microcontroller programming? [06:15] I cd into the b43 directory and do make and then do make install to do the rest ? right thanks alot guys [06:15] secret901: system->preferences->session , look for it in the Startup Programs tab [06:15] FireHazard17, your isp should be able to change your "personal" one [06:15] soldats: that is my public one [06:16] FireHazard17, do you mean from your router [06:16] nickrud: thanks [06:16] hello [06:16] does anyone have a script that automatically produces a .toc for cdrdao? [06:16] i'm in need of one [06:16] i already have cue2toc... [06:16] soldats: yes I suppose [06:16] FireHazard17: Your ISP might not let you have a static ip. [06:16] Jordan_U does that mean I have kernel 2.6 at lest or do I have to have 2.6.24 and if so How would I get 2.6.24 kernel ? [06:16] nickrud: I found the culprit to my gnome problem in a file in /etc/X11/Xsessions.d, can I just delete it outright? [06:17] novaheat: NOT A PUBLIC ONE [06:17] FireHazard17, is it a "192.168" type you want to change [06:17] novaheat: my private one [06:17] soldats: yes [06:17] So you want your router to give you a different IP? [06:17] novaheat: yes [06:17] FireHazard17, is it necessary [06:17] anyone here have a 1080p monitor hooked up to ubuntu? [06:17] secret901: which one? [06:17] soldats: no it is not I can easily do it on windows [06:17] why doesn't vncserver show the actual desktop when i view it? [06:17] Helllo there i have a quick question ( that might be stuoid) if i have two wireless connection, two diffrent connections .. and they are both strong, (mine and my neighbor's) IS it possible to bridge or combine BOTH of them to come up with a faster connection? i mean i know u can bridge on windows. HELP please???? any suggestions????? [06:17] erm [06:18] Plug your computer into a different port? [06:18] perhaps i should ask, why do i get no signal when i start my dell when it's hooked up via dvi to an lcd [06:18] it's called 60xvnkb_startup, seems to be added by that program [06:18] tarelerulz, What broadcom chipset do you have? You can likely get at least basic support by simply going to System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager in Gutsy, it looks like b43 is newer but not required for any chipset ( I'm still looking around the site though ), Gutsy comes with bcm43xx [06:18] novaheat: no I want a static one not a different dynamic one [06:18] nickrud: it's called 60xvnkb_startup, seems to be added by that program [06:18] power788 vncserver spawns its own X and desktop. thats how its designed to work. it does NOT show the Desktop you connected to via kdm/gdm. [06:19] FireHazard17, google free static ip [06:19] what's the best way to remote control a linux computer in X? [06:19] soldats: not that [06:19] ohh sorry [06:19] FireHazard17: On my router, at least, the IPs are assigned by port, so if I'm plugged into ethernet port #1, I'm always 192.168.0.1 (for instance). [06:19] Helllo there i have a quick question ( that might be stuoid) if i have two wireless connection, two diffrent connections .. and they are both strong, (mine and my neighbor's) IS it possible to bridge or combine BOTH of them to come up with a faster connection? i mean i know u can bridge on windows. HELP please???? any suggestions????? [06:19] power788 kde and gnome both have a 'share the desktop' feature that works that way. [06:19] novaheat: Interesting [06:19] nickrud: or is there a way to rename it so that it doesn't run on startup? [06:19] secret901: try apt-get -r --purge xvnkb (or the actual package name). Manually changing files in /etc is something you need to be exactly sure about what you are doing [06:19] Dr_Willis: can I access this via IP address? [06:19] vn depends on what you want to controll it with. [06:19] I did it easily on gentoo, I just can't remember now [06:20] can someone that can help me plz pm me? [06:20] power788 yes you should be able to. I never use the feature under gnome, and only a few times under kde. I perfer to use 'vncserver' and set up a very light desktop for my remote ussage. [06:20] secret901: you could try moving it out of that dir ( files in *.d dirs in /etc are all read, you can't stop it) [06:20] FireHazard17: Yeah. Each port has an IP it always assigns. Not sure how the wireless works. I assume it just starts assigning IPs from 192.168.0.5 on up, depending on how many people are connected. [06:20] nickrud: do you mean -remove instead of -r? it doesn't understand -r [06:20] evfan42, what did you need again [06:20] Maybe you can tell your router to always assign a certain IP to a certain MAC address? [06:20] novaheat: that is how my wired works [06:20] Dr_Willis: with a small executable that is ran mostly fro windows but cn be from linux too [06:20] Dr_Willis: thank you [06:20] secret901: heh. I'm into aptitude, sudo aptitude purge xvnkb [06:21] Helllo there i have a quick question ( that might be stuoid) if i have two wireless connection, two diffrent connections .. and they are both strong, (mine and my neighbor's) IS it possible to bridge or combine BOTH of them to come up with a faster connection? i mean i know u can bridge on windows. HELP please???? any suggestions????? [06:21] novaheat: you can just do it in the software [06:21] anyone? [06:21] soldats: I installed drivers for nividia geforce ti 4200 and now ubuntu is all screwed up [06:21] My two disks have the same UUID, after I dd'ed all contents of one to the other. I know disks should have different UUIDs, so how can I fix that? [06:21] whabo, I know it is possible, I don't think it's easy though [06:21] evfan42, how screwed up [06:21] vn vnc and the vncserver/client are a fairly easy way to get some remote desktops going [06:22] Jordan_U is it by using a program??? or just my configuration [06:22] like the screen resolution is bad, and I cant change any settings in nvidia x server settings [06:22] Dr_Willis: ok and what would be a second option? [06:22] nickrud: thanks, I'll try logging back in and see if that solves my problem [06:22] whabo, Just configuration [06:22] and when I was starting up it flash a few times at the screen before the login page [06:22] vn depdns on the OS you want on the remote machine. if its linux. freenx can work.. [06:22] whabo, Though there may be a program available that will configure it for you, I don't know [06:22] nickrud: looks good, that file seems to have been deleted [06:22] Anyone ever try to install linux on a Vudu Box? [06:23] Jordan_U thx ill research on how to do it with linux thx [06:23] I know it has a 250 GB drive [06:23] evfan42, have you tried "sudo dpkg xserver-xorg" [06:23] secret901: apt-get remove (I reread the man page;P) will leave files in /etc (in case you had altered them) and --purge will remove them, fyi [06:23] soldats: not yet [06:24] Dr_Willis: and if its windows? [06:24] I have a Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02) is the card I have sorry for not telling you all that . I was bussy trying to get this all worked out [06:24] nickrud: Yay, it worked. Thanks for your help. [06:24] this is what I got [06:24] evfan42, if you do it be careful and read carefully on what your doing it works well with resolution [06:24] dpkg: need an action option [06:24] Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*]; [06:24] Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management; [06:24] Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values; [06:24] Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options; [06:24] Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files; [06:24] Type dpkg --license for copyright license and lack of warranty (GNU GPL) [*].

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [06:24] My two hard disks have the same UUID, after I dd'ed one to the other. I know disks should have different UUIDs, so how can I fix that? [06:25] tarelerulz, Then using restricted manager should get it to work, though that exact chipset is not fully supported ( stability issues IIRC ) [06:25] lol, sorry [06:25] would anyone know how to determine an external harddrives UUID? [06:25] anyone know of a way to change the resolution of the bios when a pc is starting up? [06:25] evfan42, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg sorry i typoed it [06:26] big time [06:26] I keep getting Could not install '/var/cache/apt/archives/cupsys_1.2.4-2ubuntu3.1_i386.deb' when i try to update from 6.06 to 6.10. can anyone help?

[06:27] I've got a question about joysticks. When I run jscalibrator, it recognizes everything just fine. But when I load up any game that can use a joystick, the D-Pad is non-functional. Other buttons work fine. [06:27] Any suggestions? [06:27] I am not in the know on such ,but what do I need from the wirelless card. all I need is web pags and downloading stuff. The part I am lost about Do I just install it then it loads up and I find my router and it does the rest [06:27] kravlin: yup [06:27] Dr_Willis: thanks! [06:28] FluxD: I have issues with the mouse for live cds. and i'm generally too lazy to try and download another cd and burn it. [06:28] kravlin: a sec [06:28] kramer: u have internet access? [06:28] pgan: you would use tune2fs -U to set the uuid on the partition, you can use http://www.famkruithof.net/uuid/uuidgen to create one [06:29] well I am trying to install ps2toolchain for linux [06:29] i was hoping gutsy would fix my hibernation problems.......it did not.......anyone here have problems with suspend or hibernate?

The one thing I love about linux is working on it and getting new stuff to work. The wireless is a big problem see with net you can do research at all [06:30] unagi: me too [06:30] me neither its kinda annoying =( [06:30] unagi: what's frustrating is it did work for a long time, but not any more [06:30] nickrud: thanks. Why did they become the same?

[06:36] ok unagi [06:37] is there a gui for mdadm? [06:38] Does blacklisting a module mean you can't load the molule later or does it mean the module will not been load at start up ? [06:38] nikrud: great, thanks! Then I have a related question - since I dd'd my whole Ubuntu installation, to the replacement disk, why won't it boot? [06:38] tarelerulz: u can load it later blacklist means it wont load on boot [06:39] FluxD: apperently my software index for Apt-get is broken... [06:39] I updated resolv.conf and why would my system not resolve the domain names yet? do I neet to restart something? may it be IPv6 being enabled causing this? [06:39] hi, I get : dhcdbd: message_handler: message handler not found under /com/redhat/dhcp/eth0 for sub-path eth0.dbus.get.nis_servers [06:39] kravlin: get the update from here http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/cupsys/ [06:40] that looks like a bug to me do I file it against dhcdbd ? [06:41] in the code boxes on forums do I type only one line at a time or do the whole thing at once? [06:41] jordan, one line at a time [06:41] FluxD: i've got broken dependencies. until i fix those i'm not going anywhere [06:41] haha oh [06:41] nickrud: sorry, misspelled your nick before. Since I dd'd my whole Ubuntu installation, to the replacement disk, why won't it boot? [06:41] i think i know what i did wrong then [06:41] no one in here using mdadm or software raid on linux? [06:41] kravlin: okay :) === unagi_ is now known as unagi [06:42] FluxD: yeah. It kinda decided that while it was gonna stop the upgrade it was gonna take my computer with it. === JJ|Laptop is now known as joeyjones [06:43] kravlin: that is one reason I never upgrade clean install ftw [06:43] FluxD: i would if i could. [06:43] nickrud: I get grub error 22 (no such partition) [06:44] About how many users can a server with a 366MMHz Processor and about 80MB free space handle? (Ubuntu server) [06:44] kravlin: whay cant u? no cd drive? [06:44] FluxD: it rejects anything above 6.06 for install. it freezes up. [06:44] (doing your basic PHP forum and HTTP pages) [06:45] kravlin: network install? [06:45] FluxD: and yeah. it doesn't have a cd drive either. [06:45] kravlin: u try with alternate cd? [06:45] FluxD: when i tried to download it it gave me the same exact cd. I don't have any more CD-R's [06:46] kravlin: I think alternate cd is text based installer [06:46] this may sound dumb ,but how to you add ndiwrapper module to the blacklist ? [06:46] Hi! I am a novice Linux user. I have GPRS/EDGE modem that I can connect to my Ubuntu using USB. Next when I do lsusb I get the vendor=0x067b and product=0x0610 on Bus 001 Device 003. If I do usbmodules then it does not show any capable module for the device. [06:46] crap. Cupsys-driver-gutenprint is also corrupt. [06:46] can someone please suggest me how I can instruct the Kernel to use the device as Serial modem [06:46] ? === root__ is now known as huh [06:47] I tried modprobe usbserial vendor=0x067b product=0x0610 [06:47] but that did not help as well :( === huh is now known as yuuruma [06:47] tarelerulz: gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [06:48] FluxD: that's what i thought too. [06:48] ? [06:48] kravlin: take a look at the names again when u download I am pretty sure its not sam [06:48] ? [06:49] FluxD: Probably not. [06:50] how do you mount an iso so you don't have to burn it to cd? [06:50] has any gotten in ps2 development [06:50] anyone* [06:50] mount -t iso9660 /file.iso /someemptydirectory -o loop [06:50] or even better man mount [06:51] bluefox83, mount -o loop -t iso9660 filename mountpoint [06:51] could i say...mount it to /cdrom ? [06:51] oh [06:51] no [06:51] bluefox83, why ? [06:51] nickrud [06:51] (sorry, I was trying to search my log) [06:51] uhm...i'm trying to install a game but i'd prefer to not have to burn it to cd... [06:52] bluefox83: just create an empty directory somewhere and use that [06:52] mkdir gameCd [06:52] bluefox83, you can mount things whereever you want - using wine or sth like that ? [06:52] is there a online trojan scanner for ubuntu 7.10 [06:52] does anyone know how to manually turn off the monitor on a laptop? [06:52] IpMoo: nmap localhost [06:53] ok il look see ..ty [06:53] sebi_, trying to install diablo2 from an iso [06:54] bluefox83, I am not big on games but if it is a non linux game and you use wine there is an option with wich you can say this iso is the cd ... not 100% sure though [06:55] hrm..that sounds interesting [06:56] just installed kubuntu. i did apt-get install firefox flashplugin-nonfree and a bunch of other stuff and rebooted. flash plugin doesn't seem to be working, though. where there should be flash movies i instead have blank boxes. right clicking them gets me the normal firefox menu. [06:56] tomd123: there is usually a nipple that gets pushed when you close the lid. If you include the acpi module when you boot linux, you can set it to blank the screen when you press the nipple manually. Is that good enough? [06:58] tomd: some laptops have function button combos to do that, for example on thinkpads, Fn+F3 blanks the screen if the thinkpad module is loaded. [06:58] Hi! I am a novice Linux user. I have GPRS/EDGE modem that I can connect to my Ubuntu using USB. Next when I do lsusb I get the vendor=0x067b and product=0x0610 on Bus 001 Device 003. If I do usbmodules then it does not show any capable module for the device. I tried "modprobe usbserial vendor=0x067b product=0x0610"; but that did not help as well. can someone please suggest me how I can instruct the Kernel to use the device as Serial modem?

Next when I do lsusb I get the vendor=0x067b and product=0x0610 on Bus 001 Device 003. If I do usbmodules then it does not show any capable module for the device. I tried "modprobe usbserial vendor=0x067b product=0x0610"; but that did not help as well. can someone please suggest me how I can instruct the Kernel to use the device as Serial [07:12] c9s: better to list with ps aux, then sort on the column that lists the state (for example sort -k 13) [07:13] imyousuf: I would suggest looking for a guide to setting up a GPRS/EDGE modem via google or Ubuntu Wiki [07:13] is there any alarm system in ubuntu ?

[07:28] what good video editing software? [07:28] JNLord: radius authentication ? [07:29] Kalamansi: the easiest way IMO is to boot off livecd , and then run grub-install /path/to/drive [07:29] aslan, well basically everything i hear about torrentflux is not worth using [07:29] beasty_: whats a radius authentication? [07:29] JNLord: what do you use for authentication ? [07:29] soldats: ya but that's your opinion, he didn't come in here asking "what torrent client should I use" [07:29] i prefer using deluge torrent software [07:29] gruntLOL, what exactly do you need to do [07:29] beasty_: nothing right now [07:30] oh ok [07:30] so what you want is [07:30] Kalamansi, when you installed windows just boot the ubuntu install cd , go to a terminal and do : sudo grub-install (hd0) you might have to change the hd0 for whatever your disk actually is [07:30] that when client a connects to your network [07:30] soldats I wanted to update bit tornado as apparently torrent trader and my current version of bit tornado dont speak to each other [07:30] JNLord: a form of network authorization I think [07:30] JNLord: I'm aware of it in context of 802.1x [07:30] it need to fill in a user/pass to gain access to the web ?

[07:31] scguy318: that way I wouldn't have to keep rebooting each time I want to switch OSes right [07:31] BlaenkDenum: yes [07:31] i have been seeing some on windows like firstspot, antamedia etc [07:31] JNLord: i did a project like that earlier for a hotel [07:31] BlaenkDenum, try xen if you got a recent processor it might work with a lot of work [07:31] but i think it's way farfetched for you [07:31] can I use vmware though? [07:31] BlackDiamonds, of cause [07:32] but than you make images and not partitions [07:32] JNLord: what's the useramount ? [07:32] no, you misunderstood me, scguy318 maybe you did too [07:32] beasty_: u mean client base amount? [07:32] BlaenkDenum: VMware can utilize physical partitions [07:32] yes [07:32] ehrm [07:32] JNLord: yes [07:32] like 30 [07:32] scguy318: you DID understand me :) [07:32] ok [07:32] <_blitz_> How to customize the appearance in Gutsy?(In feisty you had that install button for window borders,icons etc).

[07:34] sebi_: well I wasn't asking if just vmware did it but if anything was able to, now I know vmware does, that'd be cool if virtualbox did too though [07:34] <_blitz_> How to customize the appearance in Gutsy?(In feisty you had that install button for window borders,icons etc). [07:34] eyemean: I upgraded from Vista to Gutsy :P [07:34] _blitz_: SYstem -> Prefs -> Appearance if I'm not mistaken [07:34] JNLord: what you can do is setup a dhcp server [07:34] block all ports [07:34] i can use my Access Point to block pcs from getting on my network, but i need some that would also manage the bandwidth [07:35] <_blitz_> scguy318: yeah but how do you install new themes.sorry i didnt explain it [07:35] JNLord: ok [07:35] gruntLOL, http://idforums.net/index.php?showtopic=19318 [07:35] beasty_: a dhcp server would be great, but how about bandwidth management [07:35] does this help [07:35] _blitz_: drag theme file into it I think [07:35] _blitz_: or press the Install button [07:36] JNLord: http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials/article.php/3114511 take a close look at this [07:36] for starters [07:36] beasty_: thanks [07:36] <_blitz_> scguy318 : what u are talking is about feisty.there is no install button in gutsy [07:36] JNLord: and this also http://lartc.org/ [07:36] I dd'd my Ubuntu installation from one disk to another, but I can't boot from the new disk.

[07:37] I just reinstalled windows..and the option the boot ubuntu dissapeared..how do I make it come back? [07:38] beasty: yes, but not at the same time of course. I pull out one and connect the other in its place. It's a laptop and they are laptop disks.

[07:38] beasty_: i thought that radius had to do with another device???

[07:49] oops, stupid me. ununmountable [07:50] romme, did you check with: lsof |grep /mountpoint [07:50] In menu.lst, what does the stanza "root (hd0,0)" mean? Or where can I get info about menu.lst's format? [07:50] sebi_: yes, nothing here [07:50] How can I install a new icon pack? Use the oldie method (copying the whole stuff somewhere under ~) or is there a more elegant way in Ubuntu? (I'm on Gutsy) [07:50] romme, are you in the directory you want to umount ?

[07:56] well, freenode is the only network i'm connected to [07:56] romme, You do not need to be root to unmount /home either [07:56] salty: yes i have it now.im running ubuntu desktop server 7.10 [07:56] ok heres my problem, i have installed the fglrx drivers for my radeon 9800 pro card, and when i type the fglrxinfo in the terminal it says direct rendering no, mesa indirect, does anyone know how to turn mesa off and dri on?

[07:58] romme, You can do many things, su to a user that does not have a home directory at all, mount another home directory from another drive or change your current user's home directory to be somwhere outside of /home [07:58] Kalamansi, samba is the equivalent to windows filesharing [07:58] Kalamansi: yes...different from lamp server [07:58] sebi_, See my last comment [07:58] Jordan_U, k [07:59] Kalamansi: samba is for windows files [07:59] Jurdan_U: but the problem is, i can't unmount it, and there are no open files [07:59] salty: my apache+mysql+php is already running. is it a file server applications?i tried to login in http://192.168.1.23 [07:59] Jurdan_U: lsof /mount/point ? [07:59] salty : i see [08:00] romme, First of all, why are you trying to unmount /home, what is your goal? [08:00] Jurdan_U: i need to shrink that partition [08:00] romme, Also check lsof to confirm that there really are in fact no files open on your /home partition [08:00] ups, sorry Jordan_U, this was meant for romme [08:00] romme, Can you use a LiveCD? [08:00] romme, make a backup first [08:00] Kalamansi: what you're talking about is a "LAMP" server... that's what you have already...it's not a "FTP" or a "SAMBA" server [08:01] romme, shrinking is not safe [08:01] yeah, i can, but that's a last resort. lsof shows nothing [08:01] Evening all [08:01] romme, Even when run as root? [08:02] romme, lsof only shows files open by your user IIRC [08:02] I have problem with screen resolution in Ubuntu 7.10 [08:02] My CPU fan seems to be running a lot more frequently than it used to. [08:02] romme, Or all users when run as root [08:02] Kalamansi, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba [08:02] Jordan_U: i'm logged in as root, and ps ax | grep romme shows nothing [08:02] and im using gutsy 7.10 [08:03] romme, What about "lsof | grep /home" ? [08:03] hi === max185 is now known as max` [08:04] Jordan_U: under root, it shows nothing. should i do something like su romme and lsof /home ? [08:04] romme, No [08:04] romme, What error do you get when you try to umount /home? [08:04] defice or resource busy [08:04] s/defice/device/ [08:05] I have an AMD Geode graphics card, and I'm trying to use the Rotate option in xorg.conf. It works perfectly when on GDM, but when logged as a normal user, I get display artifacts, and the mouse can't move everywhere on the screen. Any idea which permission I'm missing, if any ? [08:05] romme, type mount to see if the partion you want to mount is really /home [08:05] romme, Is your /home on the same drive ( even if it's a seperate partition ) as / ? [08:05] I tried to start a graphical session as root, and in this case it works perfectly... [08:06] Jordan_U, why would that make any difference ? [08:06] julo, You shouldn't do that, or if you do make sure you are at least not connected to the internet at the time [08:06] Jordan_U: /dev/sda5 on /home type ext3 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,commit=900) [08:07] Jordan_U: I know I shouldn't do that, but I tried it just to make sure it was a permission-related problem. [08:07] sebi_, Parted will not let you change the partition table of a drive with any mounted partitions IIRC, so even if /home is unmounted he still would not be able to resize it [08:07] julo, What is the problem? ( I am just coming into this ) [08:07] romme, Why don't you want to use a LiveCD? [08:07] salty : lamp is also wamp/xamp server? [08:08] Jordan_U, ah [08:08] My internet is super slow and system monitor-> network history shows usage even when I'm not running any app that uses the internet. Is there a way to detect which process is using the bandwidth ? [08:08] not sure Kalamansi [08:08] romme, easyest way is boot a live-cd or the install-cd resize and boot again [08:08] Jordan_U: well, i want to troubleshoot a problem. might be worth filing a bug for it. [08:08] Bloops, You can check open connections with lsof [08:09] romme, What problem? [08:09] romme, doesn't look like a bug , to be sure switch to single user mode via init 1 umount that reboot and resize [08:09] In file menu.lst, what does "root (hd0,0)" mean? Or where can I get info about menu.lst's format? [08:09] Jordan_U: not being able to unmount a partition [08:09] Jordan_U: I have an AMD Geode graphics card, and I'm trying to use the Rotate option in xorg.conf. It works perfectly when on GDM, but when logged as a normal user, I get display artifacts, and the mouse can't move everywhere on the screen. Any idea which permission I'm missing, if any ? [08:10] anyway, i'll boot from the cd now, as you suggest. thanks for not ignoring me so far [08:10] hey there. having a bit of an issue with aticonfig. when I try to sudo aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf, I end up with a core dump that begins *** glibc detected *** aticonfig: munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0xbf8e49b3 *** [08:10] julo, It's probably a settings issue rather than a permissions issue, try creating a new user and logging in as that, if that works try to figure out what config file in /home/you is causing the problem [08:10] Kalamansi, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAMP_(software_bundle) [08:11] i use wine . but dont know how to change location to install [08:11] k [08:11] pgan, man grub and /usr/share/doc/grub/ [08:11] which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\install.exe [08:11] Jordan_U: thanks, I'll try that ASAP [08:11] vermi, You can also use debian's xorg configurator instead of aticonfig [08:11] !xconfig | vermi [08:11] vermi: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes [08:12] ah, thanks, let me give that a try [08:12] vermi, Be sure to choose "fglrx" instead of "ati" [08:12] i type wine "game" ..automatic go C:\\windows\\system32\\game.exe [08:12] vermi, If you want to use the proprietary driver that is [08:12] what can i do? [08:13] also, another thing that has been bugging me...at system boot, I get an OUT OF RANGE message from my monitor, so I'm assuming the refresh rate is too high or something. After I type in my LUKS password, everything loads up and I finally get an image when the gdm login screen comes up. And yes, Jordan_U, that's what I'm trying to use :D [08:14] blackfox_, If it's in program files for instance you can cd into ~/.wine/drivec/Program\ Files and run "wine ./game.exe" from there [08:15] so anyway, my question would be, is there some way to configure the refresh rate used during bootup? [08:16] anyone know the maya equivalent for ubuntu? [08:16] vermi, Looking into usplash might be a good start === alexandre is now known as Ghost-Rider [08:16] ubuntu [08:16] Rattts, I think Maya is available for Linux... so Maya :) [08:17] Jordan_U: alright, i'll give that a look [08:17] the free equivalent(rephrased)? [08:17] anyone know ubuntu real well? [08:17] Rattts, Blender [08:17] thanx lol [08:17] !anyone | Unrealantidote [08:17] Unrealantidote: 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? [08:18] if i drew something in blender, wat filetype do i save it as so that it is just a matrix of points or a vector of points? [08:18] vermi, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=604216 [08:18] Rattts, I believe .obj [08:18] thanx [08:18] I am having trouble booting ubuntu on this system and dont know why [08:19] thanx [08:19] again lol [08:19] Unrealantidote, What kind of trouble? [08:19] Rattts, np :) [08:19] Jordan, it locks up while booting [08:19] my installer at wine /drivec/Program/system32/file/install === bkraptor is now known as bkraptor_ [08:19] I'm having trouble building a good search query to find out how I'd search for computers and network devices on my wireless network. my router doesn't list anything. can someoen point me in the right direction? [08:19] what can i do? [08:19] Hey, quick question, if I can see that something is using up half my cpu to do IO using gnome system monitor applet... how do I discover what it is, all the applications claim ignorance if I sort by CPU (but my HD begs to differ) === bkraptor_ is now known as bkraptor [08:20] hello [08:20] ok i understand [08:20] Futsuriai, terminal: top [08:20] Unrealantidote, Does it give you an error? [08:21] ah, thanks Varka [08:21] Varka, but what do I look for, none of them seems to be using cpu [08:21] Jordan_U, it just locks up, the bar that travels back and forth just locks [08:21] im having now problem with booting, ubuntu wont boot until i press enter [08:22] Hm, whatever it was, it stopped... but now I won't know what it is [08:22] is there any help [08:22] Unrealantidote, Try booting in recovery mode or removing the "splash" kernel parameter when grub boots [08:22] Futsuriai, top lists all processes by the percentage of cpu usage from most to less [08:22] s, does it show you a grub screen? [08:22] Varka, yes, the problem was the program seemed to be using IO a lot, not so the CPU... it's gone now anywho [08:22] s: does it show anything on the screen when you turn it on? [08:22] what is grub screen [08:23] no its shows only black screen [08:23] Futsuriai, maybe trackerd, the indexing service [08:23] Jordan_U, Well, this isnt the only distro of linux that doesnt boot, I have tried Debian, Mandriva, Red hat, Hakin9 and they all do the same thing at the same time [08:23] s: then how did you know you should press Enter? [08:24] i cant get my wireless working [08:24] Unrealantidote, what hardware? [08:24] Varda, possibly... I had just killed a bunch of the little subprocesses since I was close to full ram usage. [08:24] should atheros cards be detected automagically? [08:24] cuz i tried 3 times to let it to count down the 10 seconds and it didnt boot [08:24] Jordan_U: it works perfectly, thanks ! [08:24] Unrealantidote, It would be usefull to know though what it is doing at that point, removing "splash" will let you see what is happening when it stops [08:24] and than i trie to press enter and it worked [08:24] how can I find out what other users are on my wireless network if my router doesn't list it? [08:25] Futsuriai, linux alway uses about the whole ram available, if not for processes it is using it for caching, so dont worry about it [08:25] szkud, you could sniff network packages, but that's illegal in the most countries [08:25] Varka, its a HP computer, checking model number now [08:25] USA? [08:25] anyone? atheros cards installed automatically or do i need to do something? [08:25] is it possible to make ubuntu to be the second boot [08:25] szkud, i wouldn't know. [08:25] s: so it shows a countdown? [08:25] But i think so szkud. [08:25] jordan_U, I will try that in just one min [08:25] s, man grub [08:26] yes it shows a 10 sec conttown [08:26] Varka, no, no, I was actually using all my ram... I was running a high-depth search using transposition tables for an AI project :p [08:26] s, do you have GRUB installed? [08:26] szkud, Col^ I don't know of any country where it is illegal to sniff packets on your own network... [08:26] but what is grub [08:26] Futsuriai, ok ;) [08:26] s: that's what we were asking you, does it show anything on the screen. [08:26] well Jordan_U, in Denmark - i think - it's illegal, because you sniff other peoples traffic [08:26] echosystm, Unless they require the newest madwifi drivers it should be automagic [08:27] s: it's a program that loads the linux kernel. it's the first program that is loaded into memory. [08:27] :( [08:27] no it doesnt it just show black screen [08:27] well thats a pickle [08:27] Col^, They are on your network, if they don't want you to see what they are doing they can go somewhere else :) [08:27] does it need to be setup somehow? [08:27] im actually using fluxbuntu [08:27] Varka, HP Pavilion 1220n with 1 gig of ram and a Radion 9200 [08:27] not ubuntu [08:27] but the fluxbuntu guys seem non-responsive [08:27] well Jordan_U, it's still illegal to sniff other peoples package [08:27] +s [08:28] Col^, Otherwize it would be illegal to have security cameras in your own home :) [08:28] true, but still. It's kinda different with data traffic i think [08:28] s: you said it shows a countdown, that's important. Does it have options of what kernel to boot, like Ubuntu or Windows, that you can choose with your keyboard? [08:28] yes tehre are several option to boot [08:28] but then again, i would buy a router which shows, the computers connected to the network, rather than sniffing packages [08:29] for that problem [08:29] i have also xp [08:29] pgan, I need to go, I assume you know how to help s change the timeout in his /boot/grub/menu.list if that is the problem? [08:29] Jordan_U: sure [08:29] Col^: I'd love to view that but I'd have to put some kind of different firmware on my router to do that. [08:30] Unrealantidote, ok, so the hardware itself shouldnt be the problem afaik [08:30] and that's a problem for you? I mean, you could sniff the networn, but it's kinda sad if it really is illegal [08:30] network* [08:31] s: XP is the first option but you want Ubuntu to be the first option? [08:31] szkud, it's just easier if you update the firmware, for future use. [08:31] Varka, thats what i was thinking, but, I have the actual Ubuntu disk and actual Red hat disks, so it cant be a disk error [08:31] no ubuntu is the first option [08:31] yes that is a problem. the last router I upgraded the firmware on bricked and at the moment I don't feel like buying another one if that happens [08:31] join /#ecere [08:31] #ecere [08:31] hey [08:32] people [08:32] s: sorry, what do you want again? [08:32] echosystm, http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz [08:32] szkud, i wouldn't think that it will be a problem, cause it's kinda easy updating firmware, but i understand your concern. So i think it's up to you to decide [08:33] i would like to fix the problem with booting in ubuntu and if possible to make xp to be the first boot [08:33] echosystm, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo [08:33] I've already got sniffit installed now [08:34] Varka, brb, going to grab a drink [08:34] s: OK, open a terminal in Ubuntu and type "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" (without the quotes). [08:34] Unrealantidote, do what Jordan_U suggested, disable remove "splash" and "quiet" from the grub kernel starting line and look for the errormessages [08:34] Varka, will do, will be back when i figure out what my errors are [08:35] szkud, then it's no problem. I don't know Sniffit (since i test wifi on my mac), but it's used to be easy to set up packagesniffer [08:35] i have a menu list now [08:35] s, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [08:36] * wenja welcomes mytself [08:36] #movies [08:36] s: startup-manager is a gui version of a grub editor [08:36] my file at drive c /program files/perfect world/install.exe (wine) [08:36] my wireless card is not working [08:36] how can i open that file?

[08:53] wenja, what ubuntu do you run? gutsy? [08:53] So, I am having a problem compiling the latest v4l-dvb. during my make it says "File not found: /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/build/.config at ./scripts/make_kconfig.pl line 32, line 4.

[08:59] howto check my ubuntu version? [08:59] lsb_release -a [08:59] wenja, im sry, but this is strange, as the ipw2200 should be in the list of modules for the gutsy kernel by default. what does sudo modinfo ipw2200 say? [09:00] Varka: modinfo: could not open /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/modules.dep [09:00] moin [09:01] wenja, this seems as you have quite bigger problems than setting up you wlan connection :/ [09:01] ey hr mistgeburten [09:01] Varka: it is a clean install. did something go wrong then?

[09:12] i just downloaded XFCE .run file [09:13] xfce4-4.4.1-installer.run [09:13] i dont know Kalamansi, there should be a way tho, ubuntu has to store its files somewhere right to install them [09:13] how can i install it?? [09:13] Parsi : are you running a server in opensuse? [09:13] Kalamansi: i'm in ubuntu! [09:13] if you know where the files stored, then all you do is simply copy or mount the filesystem on all your comps [09:14] matxEpt8: you can run yahoo ,messenger, friendblaster,skype,aptana,gimpshop,gimp,paint.net,bookmarking in gentoo? === chris__ is now known as osyo [09:14] ;) in wine ;) [09:14] matxEpt8: i see wine..ok [09:14] Parsi: and why would you want to install xfce4 that way?

[09:15] then on my laptop, it searches for the files on my pc before it downloads of the internet [09:15] matxEpt8 using wine? [09:15] lol, no [09:16] im talking about linux binaries [09:16] matxEpt8: ok.have you tried running a server with packet filtering? [09:16] but, cant you download the applications on one pc and just copy and paste them on the other comps [09:16] nope [09:17] matxEpt8 you know application to use for limiting bandwidth of a certain user in a workstations? [09:17] sort off [09:17] i never tried it myself [09:17] but it can be done quite simply, [09:17] via tutorials on internets [09:18] -s [09:18] ^_^ [09:18] matxEpt8: yeah but how about copying an entire packages? [09:18] anyone have experience with tablet pcs and ubuntu? [09:18] matxEpt8: for example i am done downloading all package in 1 pc..how to copy the packages to 2nd pc? [09:18] !aptoncd [09:18] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [09:18] yes [09:18] how do I make sure a route add I entered is restored after a reboot ? [09:18] how did you download the packages? [09:18] !clone | Kalamansi [09:18] Kalamansi: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [09:19] ^-- what he said [09:19] I want to recompile my feisty kernel, can someone give me a useful link for it?

[09:20] kahrytan: really? [09:20] Kalamansi, yeah. It spits out a list of installed packages which allows you to apt-get install list [09:21] matxEpt8, ubotu thanks [09:25] this is epic... https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1 [09:25] what about bug 1 [09:25] its awsome :P [09:26] jscinoz, what you gonna do to fix it [09:26] Hand out ubuntu cd's to strangers! [09:27] not burned [09:27] nah the proper ones :P [09:28] i got a boatload of them :P [09:28] (i.e. 500+) [09:28] yay for mass orders [09:30] jscinoz, microsoft fixed that bug by releasing vista [09:30] >_< [09:30] so true [09:30] ha, and made a crappy os while they were atit [09:30] at it* [09:30] :) [09:30] how can I put two grep options in one statement, whit out having to repipe? like cat text | grep 1 | grep 2 [09:31] yes [09:31] heya... i run a network of ubuntu machines and i have apt-cache set up... is there any way to 'prime' the apt-cache with files from an ubuntu cd? i want to put the .debs from gutsy gibbon in there... [09:33] riaal, you can seperate two options with a | like this: grep '\(option1\|option2\)' [09:35] thanks pvh_sa|wrk I also did not know that [09:36] pvh_sa|wrk: grep 1 | grep 2 will be an AND of 1 and 2 though, while you present an OR. ;) [09:36] Tomcat_ thank you too [09:37] Tomcat_, true. so its not "like" riaal's example really [09:37] imyousuf: What's the problem with piping twice? [09:37] no problem [09:37] I did not know the difference [09:38] actually I always required and so piping worked fine [09:38] imyousuf: To join both greps, you need to change the expression...

[10:00] Ein_: no, you can try to make it work with wine though [10:00] mikebeecham, the one thing I can guarantee (as near as anything in life can be guaranteed) you will never suffer from spyware or computer viruses again. [10:00] !wine > Ein_ [10:01] !appdb > Ein_ [10:03] RatThing : that raises a good question....is it worth installing firestarter on that basis? I have a very good firewall on my router and never used windows firewall...should I use it? [10:04] I face problem with printer and scanner for supporting linux [10:05] mikebeecham I have five (maybe more) PC all running *ubuntu all with firestarter installed. Firestarter is great for share an internet connection but if you are using any kind of wireless network then all pcs on that network should have their own firewall.

The only way to restore the connection was to disable Firestarter...I guess it is just a case of setting it up correctly [10:07] sachi: worls here for what is worth... have you checked the key assoc? [10:08] whtas that [10:10] sachi: sorry i mean check that shift + f9 is actually the keys asociated with thast action [10:10] ive checked that and those r the right keys [10:10] mikebeecham, if by shared you mean samba (?) then you just have to enable samba's port range. One easy way of doing it is to let firestarter block it, look in the event tab, find the block message, right click on the block message and select "Allow...". [10:11] mikebeecham event tab of firestarter that is.

[10:16] Ein_ here's the basic setup method, see how you feel about it :-) You have to find a .bin file on the Windows installation CD that came with that scanner... [10:16] ok? [10:16] Ein_ then it has to be copied to a directory and a configuration file has to be editied. [10:17] Ein_ pretty much that is it.

[10:41] yes of course [10:42] basically, grub isn't seeing the other, older install [10:42] Ein_ a .rpm file is a packaged up bunch of files, sort of like a [10:42] zip file so you have to extract the files from it in order to use [10:42] them.

Possibly you just need to copy that info over into the fstab for the new install [10:44] RatThing: ...I meant to say that this is very unusual for you, and you should just put it down to tiredness and a lack of coffee in your system :D [10:44] dgjones, I try to open it and all I get is a "Lost and Found" folder...

[10:47] Hello. What's the difference between the ubuntu 6.06 LTS kernel packages linux-image-{386,686,k7} and linux-image-server? [10:47] What is meant by 'job' in man initctl?

[10:49] how can you reset xchat to default settings? [10:49] RatThing: it's a general question at this point, as I am at work...but the camera is plugged in at home, eys [10:49] yes [10:49] LeenuxRawksAll, 1.5Gb seems low for an install of ubuntu though, thats what made me think it might have been formatted, is it the same format type ext3 etc as the new install [10:49] tntCry, rm -rf ~/.xchat [10:49] sda1 is ext3 and the new one is ext2 [10:49] mikebeecham first thing to do is type: lsusb [10:49] think that might be it? [10:49] so rm -rf ~/. anything will reset ? like pidgins kopete ect.? [10:50] mikebeecham to see if it is listed, I am certain it will be. [10:50] tntCry, it will delete your configuration, but if you have a download directory inside, it will be deleted as well [10:50] mindframe_, i typed it in console [10:50] i muys tclose and come back [10:50] brb [10:50] tntCry, and it's rm -rf ~/.xchat, not rm -rf ~/.

[10:51] RatThing: what is xawtv? [10:51] mikebeecham that will determain if the current installed drivers are there. [10:51] tntCry, I hope you didn't remove ~/. [10:51] vlt, 686 is generic now. those are p1 , p2-4p, amd , linux-image server i don't know what that is [10:52] any grub gurus here ? [10:52] when I installed ubuntu on sda3 last time, it picked it right up...isn't there a way that I can add grub back to sda1? [10:52] I need to bypass fsck on startup [10:52] mikebeecham xawtv can be used for many things including controlling webcams :-) [10:52] LeenuxRawksAll, when I've had multiple installations, the grub that was used was the most recent one, so presumably deleting the original grub [10:52] didnt work [10:52] !grub | LeenuxRawksAll, You could try this and see if it can redect your original install and [10:52] LeenuxRawksAll, You could try this and see if it can redect your original install and: 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 [11:14] tntCry rpm is "redhat package manager" packages, so they are software packages in the same way a .deb is a software package, but these are aimed at redhat systems [11:14] Hello === Marine- is now known as Marine [11:14] madera: hello [11:14] damn theyr lucky [11:14] tntCry: ? [11:14] I have a NTFS writable disk I want to check for errors... what utility or procedure should I use/do ? [11:15] madera there isn't really a tool in linux as its a file system native to windows [11:15] can rpm be installed in ubuntu ikonia ? [11:15] ok, I'll stick it into windows then [11:15] thanks [11:15] tntCry: it /can/ but it is VERY unwise [11:16] i knew the answer will be a linux answer lo [11:16] why is it unwise, ikonia [11:16] cexx: it is built against/for a different base system in a package format thats not native [11:17] understood. [11:17] tntCry a linux answer ? [11:17] ikonia: a bad quality answer [11:17] madera: a bad quality answer ? [11:17] ikonia: yeah, a linux answer [11:17] madera: explain please. [11:17] ikonia: hum, I'm afraid there is nothing to explain [11:18] madera: I'm not sure what your saying by a bad quality answer ? [11:18] ikonia: read more, it will sharpen you up! =o) [11:18] ikonia: I didn't say anything about an answer [11:18] madera: I'm sharp enough thank you, I'm asking you to clarify your statment [11:18] how do you remove a symbolic link? Just 'rm '? Or will that remove the target? [11:18] ikonia: it's clear enough [11:18] madera: madera> ikonia: a bad quality answer [11:18] madera: its not clear enough, define a bad quality answer, in terms of content or resolution ? [11:19] ndlovu: correct, just rm it [11:19] 1 day i hope ubuntu be something good , means if you have a tablet laptop the touch screen works without appointing the driver for the hardware and the bindings .. ect.. , * and to have a great package installer to install the .tar .zip files wisely like themes and kickers and iconsin a simple double click method * and have softwares that are .bin installed double click * and hopefully have msoofice 2007 work with wine , * and wine becomes more easier .. [11:19] * and have finger print detections .. pen callibration perfecterizing .. * and smart speech detection and smart pen undersatnding .. and smart help assistant .. and funky themes in the theme list to choose once ubuntu is firstly installed. [11:19] ikonia: and you think you're sharp [11:19] bye bye [11:19] ikonia, tks [11:20] ikonia, i set up the chroot and it works, but i can't log in via ssh, because the chroot user just doesnt have it, how can i install it in the chroot? [11:20] wait, tablet? i need some help with mine, you have any ideas? [11:20] then ubuntu will be as perfect as Vista support [11:20] stefano you need to install chroot onto the system [11:20] how do you mean, install? like a package? [11:21] stefano correct [11:21] shameless_, forget about it , i needed help of to work the touchscreen for 4months you cant ,. if you will you will need calibrations . then need scripts for ratations then you will get the headache trying to start doing all that [11:21] stefano, appoint the mouse double click [11:21] damn, guess i'll have to dual boot then [11:21] cause i want linux, but i kinda need my tablet [11:22] ikonia, what's the package called? dchroot, dchroot-dsa or both? [11:23] does ubuntu have a special tool to configure grub? Because it always ovewrites my menu.lst configuration everytime it installs a new kernel. [11:24] ody: startupmanager [11:24] thanks [11:24] apologies I was on the phone [11:24] stefano: did your question get an answer ? [11:25] ikonia, well kind of, but my chrooted user still can't log on [11:25] "Cannot execute /usr/local/sbin/chrlogin: No such file or directory" [11:25] even if I didn't read the whole discussion - touchscreens works fine [11:25] stefano: what command are you using to chroot him in ? [11:25] I was here earlier with a question about the resolution/refresh rate being out of my monitor's range during boot up, and someone recommended using usplash. Well, the out of rang problem was solved, but is there any way to make usplash more verbose? [11:26] i use a big fancy perlscript i found in the german ubuntu wiki [11:26] vermi: yes grub or startupmanager [11:26] and i dont understand much of it [11:26] tbh [11:26] vermi: why would using usplash fix your resoution [11:26] stefano: ok - first thing to do is look in /usr/local/sbin/chrlogin - I don't think you'll find it there [11:26] hmm... I accidentally rm'd '/usr/lib/libxml.so.1' while uninstalling a canon cups printer - any idea what the file would be used for? [11:26] FallenHitokiri: just removing "quiet" should work, right? [11:27] ikonia, thats right [11:27] nothing in there [11:27] ndlovu its an xml library thats pretty core [11:27] tntCry: i've heard things about fingerprint scanners working, you worked with those any? [11:27] stefano: the fact that its in /usr/local/sbin suggests its a custom build [11:27] hi, i'm not sure which chanel to ask this in but: the wireless network security settings have just been chnged in my house and i've got no idea how to change the configuration of my wireless card on my linux machine. can anyone point me in the right direction? cheers =] [11:27] and ikonia, i have no idea what was initially happening during system boot, but i don't have the issue using usplash [11:28] shameless_, lets wait for hardy ubuntu 8 and wish all my wishes to work :) [11:28] ikonia, great i always wondered what the difference between sbin and bin was. :-) so, i suppose i could just copy the file from wherever it is to that directory, right? [11:28] vermi thats very odd, I don't understand why changing to usplash would change the monitor resolution / refresh rate [11:28] stefano: I would advise against that, but yes you could [11:28] believe me after that ubuntu is another system in the world for the people it will be a competition for ubuntu against mac and windows :) i believe LINUX if they take this step they will win. [11:28] brb guys ..... [11:28] vermi: yes [11:28] ikonia, why? [11:28] ikonia: know of any way to get it back? [11:28] tntCry: i guess i'll just shrink my vista partition to a few gigs and primary boot to gutsy [11:29] Thanks, FallenHitokiri. i thought as much, but i wanted to make sure. [11:29] stefano: 3 reasons. 1.) If that guide is pointing you at stuff that is not there - it is a bad guide that shouldn't be followed 2.) if your missing stuff, you may not be following the guide correctly, therefore its a bad guide 3.) using custom built package will break you package manager, moving them around may break application linking. [11:29] ndlovu: you'll need to re-install the package it came in [11:29] ikonia: maybe vga=$foo was not present in menu.lst before using usplash [11:30] FallenHitokiri: thats possible, but that isn't actually anything to do with usplash. [11:30] ikonia, okay i will just read the big howto i have on that instead of using the script that. thanks for your time, i think i'll get it done :) [11:30] FallenHitokiri: you may be right; though I never actually looked at menu.lst to see before installin usplash; in fact, nobody even suggested that as an option [11:30] ikonia: it does - if you install usplash vga= is set - if you don't know vga= using usplash solves this ;) [11:31] FallenHitokiri: I see what you where saying, but its not actually anything to do with the usplash software, but what you are suggesting makes sense. I wonder if it was a server install initially [11:32] Anyway, thanks for the advice ikonia and FallenHitokiri. have a good day =) [11:32] vermi: look at this guide for framebufer resolutions: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub [11:32] ikonia: isn't vga= set in a server installation? [11:33] FallenHitokiri: I don't know from memory, but I can imagine it not [11:33] from time to time my apt-get update starts looking for a package type called "web" and I need to remove it manually from sources.lst [11:33] .list? [11:33] what's wgat [11:33] what's wgatwhat's that about? [11:33] What does ' (stop) waiting' mean in the initctl output? [11:34] bullgard4: it means that process is in a stopped state [11:35] ikonia: Why is this fact not expressed much simpler with ' stopped'? [11:36] bullgard4: its just 3 letters on the end, its expressed clearly enough === desti_T2 is now known as desti [11:36] <_blitz_> I have so many debis in a folder.there are packages and its dependancies.I was wondering whether i could change it to a repo temporarily.tired of double clicking [11:36] ikonia: Thank you for commenting. [11:37] _blitz_: you can make your own repo, although its a reasonable ammount of work [11:37] for example "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-security main restricted web" [11:37] this "web" entry appears from time to time, and I can't figure out why. [11:38] zombie_monkey: its a repo by the looks of it, although one I'm not aware of [11:38] <_blitz_> ikonia then do i have to upload the files [11:38] and it leads for example to "Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy-security/Release Unable to find expected entry web/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)" [11:38] _blitz_: upload the files ? where, you can't if you've not got a repo [11:38] well the story is that he didn't win. it's not about him. about the system. [11:38] so... upgrading to 7.10 crashes w/ a message about not being able to find a certain repository [11:38] what should I do? [11:39] ikonia: what could be puttign it there? [11:39] mack_sim: look into the repo it can't find [11:39] zombie_monkey: remove the "web" bit of the end of the line [11:39] hi all, can anyone give me a hand getting my bluetooth pcmcia card wroking [11:39] ikonia: look and see what? [11:39] which application can i use to remove the audio from videos? [11:40] mack_sim: at the repo it can't find [11:40] <_blitz_> ikonia what i need is that i have all the files in a folder and i need to install them at one go [11:40] ikonia: yes, look at it and see what exactly about it [11:40] ? [11:40] mack_sim: why it can't be found [11:40] hey [11:40] how should im getting a: Floating point exception (core dumped) when trying to execute LyX [11:41] ikonia: I keep doing that and it keeps reappearing [11:41] zombie_monkey: apt-get update [11:41] hey [11:41] yes, when I type "sudo apt-get update" it looks for that and it can't find it [11:41] ikonia: and what good does it do me? [11:41] <_blitz_> ikonia : what i need is that i have all the files in a folder and i need to install them at one go [11:42] to be more precise, what can I do to upgrade in spite of the repo being unavailable? [11:42] ikonia: the question is what script keeps putting that "web" entry in /etc/apt/sources.list [11:42] mack_sim: you can fix the upgrade being a problem [11:42] zombie_monkey: thats a good question [11:42] ikonia: how? [11:42] hello, I started installing ubuntu-desktop, but for some reason it doesn't want to download gimp-data but stops there and doesn't go any further [11:42] mack_sim: well, try to resolve it via dns, try to connect to it, etc [11:42] any idea how to manually change the URI of a printer? I'm not getting usb as an option from install or modify [11:42] i installed the latest Alsa-drivers and suddenly i cant hear any sound.. in Alsa-mixer its unmuted and on max volume. what could be the reason? [11:43] kakoonia: how did you update alsa [11:44] ikonia: i downloaded alsa-drivers from alsa-project 1.0.15, configure | make | make install [11:44] hey... is there an application in the repos that can remove audio from a video? [11:44] ndlovu: re-state your issue [11:44] use more words [11:44] kakoonia: thats not the best call, as now your package manager will be out of sync [11:44] gvsa123: any of the dvd rippers can strip the audio into a seperate file === RaNdY is now known as darkchild [11:45] lsusb shows 'Bus 005 Device 004: ID 03f0:2c17 Hewlett-Packard' but cups says 'open device failed; will retry in 30 seconds...' [11:45] ikonia: it's a home made video though [11:45] ikonia : because i installed package thats out of the available package list? [11:45] according to cups, the uri is 'hp:/no_device_found' [11:46] ndlovu: that's a way fo saying "there ain't no printer anywhere in sight" [11:47] mack_sim, but autodetect shows HP LaserJet 1022, so it should be able to find it? [11:47] the installation just stalls at gimp-data [11:47] ndlovu: whose autodetect? [11:48] ikonia : because i installed package thats out of the available package list? and what should i do to fix it? should i make uninstall? [11:48] mack_sim, System > Administration > Printing in ubuntu [11:49] ah [11:49] эй [11:49] so you have a usb printer? [11:50] mack_sim, yes. but looking at it again, it's not shown anymore... weird. lsusb also comes up empty now even though it's plugged in. [11:50] !window-manager [11:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about window-manager - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:50] aha [11:50] !sound [11:50] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [11:50] ndlovu: do you have hplip installed? [11:50] (the hp printer drivers) [11:50] yup [11:51] how do I replace metacity with xfwm4 on gnome gutsy? when i use gconf-editor to set it in desktop > gnome > apps > window-manager it is reset to metacity after relogin.. [11:51] mack_sim, I got it to print a test page earlier, but after checking the settings again it seemed to lose the connection somehow [11:51] you may have switche from raw to hp as a print proto [11:52] and the hp drivers aren't very smart [11:52] mack_sim, how would you do that? [11:52] nevermind [11:52] unplug the printer [11:52] plug it back in [11:52] check with dmesg to see if the system sees it [11:52] .G@' [11:52] fu** inet [11:52] then go to the nice clicky and add new printer [11:53] greetings!

[11:58] Right, that came out a little different to what you actually asked.

[12:00] no its not i have pepole here that uses that computer [12:00] it's only those two apps, they seem to like to invalidate the other [12:00] and mess it up [12:00] make the other not realize the sound device is there [12:00] punzada: one of them is trying to access the soundcard directly [12:01] configure them to use arts, or whatever other sound server you're using [12:01] Gimpa: mess it up how? [12:01] lol ty [12:01] two seconds in the config [12:01] maybe you need to restrict their rights [12:01] hi [12:01] xmms was using oss instead of alsa [12:01] ;P [12:01] * punzada is slow [12:01] lol [12:01] :) [12:02] no you're not [12:02] sound system in linux is arcane [12:02] true [12:02] i have a problem. just reinstalled my server and since then there is this strange issue: when managing users and groups with the gui app, whenever i open properties of a group then close, the group list is multiplied [12:02] I have a problem too [12:03] Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy-updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) [12:03] what can I do? [12:03] bsh: stop using the friggin' gui app [12:03] so after 4 changes i have 4-5 instances of each group. with the same ID however [12:03] or fix it [12:03] when editing the group file, it's ok [12:03] or complain to the devs, then stop using it [12:04] it's a piece of crap anyway. you're better served with just a text editor anyway [12:04] mack_sim: do a wget on the file in the archive see if you can actually get it [12:04] gahh [12:04] anyone else here use LyX? [12:05] ikonia: works like a charm [12:05] siccness: mack_sim: have you got it installed on gusty? [12:05] siccness: no, gentoo [12:05] mack_sim: ok, so the file is there and accessable, thats a good start [12:06] ah ok [12:06] why, siccness ? [12:06] getting core dump [12:06] wont load [12:06] gdb shows around QT libs [12:06] siccness: bad package [12:07] try getting it from upstream (devs) [12:07] prolly compiled against wrong version of qt libs [12:07] no bugs posted [12:07] heh [12:07] mack_sim: hmm [12:07] Hi, is there any way to change background in boot framebuffer? [12:07] lyx ain't exactly popular [12:07] b4d: yes, its a reasonable ammount of work though [12:08] mack_sim: i dont see why not though [12:08] plus the kind of people using it are the bug-fixing, not the bug-posting type. as a rule [12:08] lol [12:08] ikonia: I would like to try but don't know where to look for tutorial or howto... [12:08] ikonia: ok, now what? [12:08] b4d: look into usplash [12:08] ikonia: ty [12:08] mack_sim: ok, I'd try to get it a few times, make sure say 9/10 you can get it, incase the server has an intermitant problem [12:09] and then? [12:09] mack_sim: try unzipped in it, make sure the package is in the correct format [12:09] can't I just stick it somewhere where the god damn package manager will see it? [12:09] mack_sim: clam down please. [12:09] clam even [12:09] calm [12:09] silly fingers [12:10] unexpected EOF [12:10] mack_sim: ahh so the package looks like it has a problem on uncompression [12:10] file's borken [12:10] ya [12:10] mack_sim: there we go, just report it to the mirror maintainer [12:10] mack_sim: lyx worked for a friend [12:10] what mirror? it's the official US server [12:10] ikonia: nope, that's not what i'm looking for, I would like to change the background of text boot, like arch linux has. [12:11] emerald-themes is another broken package [12:11] mack_sim: ok, the server maintainer [12:11] will do [12:11] b4d: as I recall thats a kernal patch [12:11] b4d: but don't quite me on that [12:11] now, how do I fix my problem? [12:11] mack_sim: point at another mirror ? [12:11] ikonia: okay, thanks for your help [12:11] b4d: there's documentation in the kernel about that [12:11] you need a working fbcon to do it [12:12] mack_sim: is it the bootsplash patch (from memory) [12:12] ikonia: nope [12:12] mack_sim: which patch is it ? [12:13] it's got to do with the fbcon [12:13] mack_sim: no, but there is a kernel patch required for it [12:13] you can set a console background to whatever you like [12:13] I'm querying the name of the patch [12:13] ah [12:13] ok this might be the ong channel but hopefully someone can point me to the right now.. apple ipod itouch. does it work under ubuntu. before i dropp 300 on it [12:13] hold on [12:13] I thought it was called from memory the bootsplash patch [12:13] zhanx: no more/less than the other ipods [12:14] hello [12:15] ikonia, ie. the database is still broke so you cant update, or did someone find a fix for that [12:15] zhanx: database ? [12:15] mack_sim: fbcon is blacklisted I believe with gutsy for some wierd reason. [12:15] ikonia: usplash [12:15] mack_sim: what was your problem? [12:15] mack_sim: really, I didn't think usplash contained that code. Fair enough [12:15] h1st0: incompatible with nvidia drivers [12:16] it isn't compatible with just about any AGP-based drivers, actually [12:16] mack_sim: what type of video card do you have? [12:16] most cards don't handle hot-switching from framebuffer too well [12:17] h1st0: GeForce 5800, I think [12:17] mack_sim: they do if the proper module is loaded. [12:17] mack_sim: I missed your problem if you look when I joined what is going on exactly? [12:17] not a problem for me :) [12:18] someone was asking about usplash [12:18] afaik, you need a framebuffer console for usplash [12:19] mack_sim: I was just saying gutsy has some problems with framebuffer. All the specific video card fb's are blacklisted and I even believe fbcon is blacklisted. [12:19] but no, my problem is much simpler: the official server is serving up a broken packages list [12:19] yes, that is correct [12:19] fbcon is going the way of the dodo, imnsho [12:19] and it's a shame [12:19] mack_sim: what are you trying to install I just dist-upgraded with out problems [12:20] I'm trying to upgrade to 7.10 [12:20] Ahh from what version? [12:20] 7.04 [12:20] when my ubuntu boot,my second network adapter named sit0 can not be brought up, anyone can help me ? [12:21] Should be working. What package are you having issues with? [12:21] the package list :) [12:21] wucheng: what kind of card is it? [12:21] mack_sim: there isn't a problem right now with the package lists. [12:21] I can fetch it, but gunzip spits it out... unexpeted EOF [12:21] i do not know , i do not know why it is named sit0 in system [12:21] Has anyone had an issue with ubuntu freezing after 5-10 mins of using Cisco VPN client? [12:22] it just completley freezes and the caps and scroll lock buttons start blinking [12:22] mack_sim: I'm able to fetch them fine right now. [12:23] ya me too [12:23] wucheng: lspci to see what the net adapters are. [12:23] try unzipping them [12:23] mack_sim: it does unzip them. [12:23] not for me [12:23] http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy-updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz [12:23] this one, to be exact [12:23] mack_sim: Reading package lists... Done [12:24] Anyone know how to use the scroll back in screen? [12:24] hi [12:25] h1st0: page up [12:25] yo.. did someone ever encounter a problem that you cant hear sound from the laptop speakers but when you plugin the sound blasters you can hear from both? [12:26] sound blasters? [12:26] you beat me to it [12:26] when my sound speakers [12:26] h1st0: shift-page up? [12:26] what in the name of ikonia: :) [12:26] hehehe [12:26] what, no one is fromiliar with sound-blaster? [12:27] anyways i generally i ment sound-speakers [12:27] kakoonia: on planet earth we call them "speakers" [12:27] ikonia: :D [12:27] i had installed ubuntu's distribution and then i installed fedora's distribution [12:27] rarito: ok, so your currently running fedora [12:27] fedora used /boot partition of ubuntu [12:28] and now i want recover ubuntu [12:28] anybody else here running a ATI Radeao 7200? It doesnt seem like we have such a good choice regarding drivers in Ubuntu. Mine is working pretty good with the Mach 8 drivers Ubuntu chosed for me but 3D is out of the question. Anybody know a better solution? [12:28] im from the same planet last time i checked.. you got two or 10 eyes? cause i got 10 [12:28] rarito: then you must re-install ubuntu [12:28] h1st0: oh, I probably did something to make it work like that, never mind [12:28] well??!?! [12:28] well what? [12:29] yo.. did someone ever encounter a problem that you cant hear sound from the laptop speakers but when you plugin the speakers you can hear from both? [12:29] kakoonia: yes, some hardware does do that and you have to mute teh internal speakers [12:29] kakoonia: eg: plug headphones into a PC and it still comes out of the speakers [12:29] kakoonia: yeah, my girlfriend's laptop does that [12:29] bahh.. the prob is i dont want to plugin anything to hear.. [12:30] Õàé âñåì! [12:30] kakoonia: disable the speakers then [12:30] kakoonia: in alsa mixer [12:30] h1st0, which kind of net adapter would be recognized be sit? i remove it from the server and can not find any information except "Pulse h1012" [12:30] i keep getting this error: "/lib/libpthread.so.0: invalid ELF header" it is in a chroot. can anybody help? [12:30] Rastafar: english only please [12:30] kakoonia: wait, what? [12:30] stefano what command ar eyou doing to get that error [12:30] ikonia, ls [12:31] kakoonia: *nothing* is working with no plug in, but both the laptop and external speakers work when you plug the headphones in? [12:31] stefano: it's a broken lib [12:31] stefano: what have you done ? [12:31] stefano: you've changed your threading libary somehow, that will bork you whols system [12:31] kakoonia: or, to put it another way, you have to plug headphones in to hear the laptop speakers? [12:31] whole [12:31] chroots are so damn fragile [12:31] ok ok ok o ko --> when no speakers are connected to my laptop.. no sound output! when i plugin in external speakers i can hear from both! i dont want to plugin anything.. means i cant hear? [12:31] gordonjcp, his speakers aren't working until he plugs in headphones. in which case not only do his speakers work, his headphones work as well [12:31] lucian: bit strange that [12:31] gordonjcp : yup [12:31] âûû [12:32] i was copying libs, a whole bunch because ls was giving me error that it couldnt find them, so i copied them, and it worked (meaning the lib in the error message changed to another one that it couldnt find) until this one [12:32] stefano: re-install your system, you've just broke it [12:32] maybe its a hardware problem.. [12:32] i dunno [12:32] stefano: that guide you are following is either rubbish, or your not following it corectly [12:32] ikonia, it is just the chroot, everything else worked fine [12:32] stefano: that particular lib is broken [12:32] !ru | Rastafar [12:32] Rastafar: Пожалуйста войдите в #ubuntu-ru для помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta vojdite v #ubuntu-ru dlq pomoshchi na russkom qzyke [12:32] stefano: oooh this is just in the chroot [12:33] a bad copy, prolly [12:33] get a new one [12:33] as i said i was copying a whole lot of libs from my /lib and /usr/lib to the chroots respective directories [12:33] yes yes yes [12:34] so what program says this lib is broken? [12:34] mack_sim, ls [12:34] mack_sim: pretty much any program as its the threading library [12:34] mack_sim: I'm not downloading from that repo. Are you sure it exists? [12:34] i should now point out that i'm doing all this on a server which is not important for my productivity :-) [12:35] so that i dont appear completely stupid [12:36] Can it hurt my system if i have repositories from Feisty checked in my third-party software list, Im running Gutsy? [12:37] aladinsane, you could [12:37] aladinsane: yes [12:37] aladinsane: yes [12:38] ikonia, since i only want to creat this chroot for sftp access, isnt there a better way to do this? [12:38] I need to install support for the wireless card on a C2D macbook with a broken Ethernet connection [12:38] how would I go about that? [12:38] well, is there any suggestion about the sound problem? cause i looked for a way to solve it, but nothing came up. [12:38] Ok, its the medibuntu ones, maybe i could just change them from http://packages.medibuntu.org/ Feisty [12:38] to [12:38] http://packages.medibuntu.org/ Gutsy [12:38] Would that work? [12:39] komodo: you could download the debs you need. [12:39] stefano if it's just sftp just setup directory permissions correctly [12:39] aladinsane: yes [12:39] !offline > komodo, komodo Read the private message from ubotu. [12:39] komodo, take a look at the ubuntuusers wiki for instructions, download everything you might need to download and burn it to a cd, or put it on a usb-stick, and go for it [12:39] If some program is using a lot of CPU time, I can run top to see which one. But what if a program is accessing my hard drive a lot? That is happening right now, and I don't know which program. How can I find out? [12:39] komodo: just see the directions from ubotu [12:40] ikonia, okay i will take a look a t the wiki, right after i removed the chroot stuff :-) [12:40] thanks [12:41] amadeux: there's ionice, ioset and... [12:41] komodo, i suppose you have a second computer that you can use troughout the process? [12:41] I dunno whassiscalled [12:41] stefano: no, I do not [12:41] stefano: unless you count the seperate Leopard partition already in place [12:41] there are three programs provided in a single package that deal with I/O priorities [12:41] komodo, oh than be sure not to forget anything, any you also better print out the howto youre using [12:42] komodo: yeah that will work for the offline directions [12:42] !offline > stefano, stefano Read the private message from ubotu. [12:42] Hi can someone talk to me about getting OpenGL working, I want to use it as a lib to make games [12:42] * Rastafar ñëóøàåò Clint Mansell & Kronos Quartet - Winter: Lux Aeterna [12:42] Bacta: what video card do you have? [12:42] mack_sim, those don't seem to do what I want? I don't want to reschedule apps for use of I/O or something like that. I just want to see what app is going nuts and accessing my hard drive, or whether it is just swapping etc [12:42] IdleOne: ok thnx for the answer, but lets say that i already installed something from the feisty package on my gutsy distro, wouldn't changing the medibuntu from Feisty to Gutsy not mess with those installs (I dont know if i have installed anything from them but there's a chance) [12:42] mack_sim: sysstat package [12:42] i don't know and don't care [12:42] I just want to be able to compile code examples! [12:43] h1st0, give it to komodo [12:43] Bacta: well you can just install the libs you need. [12:43] aladinsane: if anything it will upgrade any fiesty packages to gutsy [12:43] Bacta, what language? [12:43] Bacta: which libraries do you want, with which bindings ? [12:43] C [12:43] stefano: I did I was just telling you about the trigger [12:43] I want opengl [12:43] should I be getting glut? [12:43] <_blitz_> I changed the compiz-fusion settings(minimize,maximize etc).and now there are no effects at all.what to do> [12:43] Bacta: glut is not opengl [12:43] i see [12:43] what is opengl? [12:43] IdleOne: ok fantastic, tnx [12:43] what package must I download to be able to compile code examples? [12:43] Bacta: libgl ? [12:44] Bacta: thats a touch question as it depends on what the requirments of the code are [12:44] Does anyone else have lagging problems with a synaptic touchpad. I have an alienware are 51m notebook and for no apparent reasen the touch pad starts to lag for a minute from time to time and then gets normal again [12:44] 2D [12:44] Bacta: 2d is not a requirment [12:44] hi all, anyone knows if can use an usb microphone in ubuntu? and how to？ Thanks [12:45] http://gpwiki.org/index.php/SDL:Tutorials:2D_Graphics [12:45] It works fine with a usb mouse or under windows xp [12:45] how can i set a quota of say 1 GB for a directory (/var/www/someuser/) [12:45] Bacta: I'm not going into the code, but that looks like it wants the SDL libs [12:45] stefano: do you have file system quotas enabled ? [12:45] any way I can graphically see the speed of a transfer? [12:45] i suppose not, i'm using ext2 [12:46] bkraptor: transfer of what? [12:46] files [12:46] IdleOne: hmm, changed it to Gutsy but now i get an error message about Gutsy not having those medibuntu repos, Anybody else know anything about the medibuntu repositories and Gutsy? [12:46] hi all, anyone knows if can use an usb microphone in ubuntu? and how to？ Thanks [12:46] something like DUMeter or BWMeter from Windows [12:46] !medibuntu | aladinsane read this [12:46] aladinsane read this: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [12:46] aladinsane: nope perhaps the midibuntu people may be able to help more. [12:47] ikonia, i guess i just write a script that checks the size and emails me if its above the limit, that'd be the easy and i could allow more than one gigabyte on special occasions [12:47] stefano that sounds reasonable [12:47] stefano: quotas are nice though then you wouldn't have to worry bout it. [12:48] hey, how does one print to a pdf file? [12:48] So, my ATI X1300 Refuses to render textures in 3D games. The typical OpenGL errors such as blocky text and such. What Driver should I have installed? [12:48] ikonia, can you believe my ISP wants me to pay 290€ for a fix ip-adress? :-> they say i have to order the business package i'm a bit upset now [12:48] stefano: I can believe that, that is not unreasonable [12:48] hi there [12:49] deathchimp: I find xgl with fglrx makes a lot of strang things break [12:49] i accidentally deleted my ~/.themes [12:49] stefano: there is posts on teh forums about enabling disk quotas for users. [12:49] i accidentally deleted my ~/.themes and now nautilus keeps 98.4% of the cpu. how can i fix this? [12:49] stefano: just use dynamic dns [12:49] ikonia, well, i heard about sweden, that they get 100/100mbit connections for under 70€ a month... [12:49] nucc2: any suggestions (reminder: me=newb) [12:49] stefano: your not in sweden [12:49] unfortunately not [12:50] so how is that relvant [12:50] stefano: sweden also has very high tax rates, do you want that too ? [12:50] deathchimp: are you using desktop-effects? [12:50] yes [12:50] stefano: sudo apt-get install quota [12:50] hey thanks h1st0 [12:50] hi [12:50] nucc2: yes [12:50] where i can find support for kino [12:51] no ikonia, i am about to move to the netherlands anyways. [12:51] sasha_: did you try googling for their web page? [12:51] by the way i am having trouble with dynamic dns since ever, i am certain i set it up correctly but i keep getting abuse-email [12:51] i was find web page [12:51] stefano: abuse email ? [12:51] but it cant help me [12:51] sasha_: I'm sure they would have links on their page [12:51] w8 :D [12:51] ikonia, saying that my adress is being refreshed to often [12:52] stefano: ah so the TTL is too low [12:52] stefano: one of the prices of dynamic dns [12:52] deathchimp: are you using proprietary drivers, and 'xgl'? [12:52] nucc2: right again [12:52] nucc2: I was just happy for the correct screen resolution [12:52] deathchimp: I disabled desktop effects because things weren't working fine with ati's proprietary drivers [12:53] ikonia, i believe the program only refreshes when my ip has changed. isnt there a "manual" way to update the ip adress on a dynamic dns account? i have a script that uploads it on a webspace for now. [12:53] only on their forum :S [12:53] deathchimp: to disable them, uninstall xserver-xgl [12:53] can someone help me with export video to DV cam [12:53] i should say it should refresh only when the ipa has changed, but apperantly thats not the case [12:53] nucc2: What are the chances that will kick me to the terminal [12:54] deathchimp: zero. just use synaptic. uninstall and logout, and back in [12:54] nucc2: thanks, wish me luck [12:54] stefano dynamic dns should not be used for email [12:55] uh [12:55] ikonia, i didnt say i was going to use it for email [12:55] how can i have all my gnome settings erased? [12:55] stefano apologies, you said you kept getting abuse mails [12:55] ycy: delete the .gnome folders in your ~ [12:55] ycy: you sure you want that? [12:56] ikonia, i was getting emails from dyndns.org saying that i refresh my ip too often. i just installed this client, and let it do his job, and i ticked the little "only refresh when neccessary" in the ncurses script that set it up [12:56] stefano again, thats one of the hassles of dynamic dns - if you update too often, it can cause problems for the hosters [12:56] stefano: what client? [12:57] ddclient i believe it was called [12:57] back [12:57] mack_sim: yes, i've accidentally deleted ~/.themes and now nautilus keeps 98% cpu [12:57] stefano, ddclient can be set to update every 180 secs [12:57] you can use the interval you want [12:57] how can i retrieve the logs of 2 hours back ikonia ? [12:57] !logs | tntCry [12:57] tntCry: Channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - Logs for LoCo channels are at http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [12:58] MindSpark, i didnt that,still got email. i want it to only run when neccessary, and it said it would do that but it didnt. anyways. i'm going to make some coffee now and try again afterwards. see you all later [12:58] didnt = did [12:58] aricz: du her? [12:59] thanks dgjones but can i get my logs from my system any temperory copy that xcaht does? [13:00] hi all, anyone knows if can use an usb microphone in ubuntu? and how to？ Thanks [13:00] a repositories question again: Is it neccsary, a normal user to have those "Souce code" repositories in my Third-party software list? [13:00] aladinsane: only if you want the source code [13:01] hi, I have problem to install grub on 2GB HDD, I have tried almost everything, LiveCD, alternate Rescue System, grub-isntall, grub , etc.. [13:01] Why would i want that? [13:01] aladinsane: so you could read the source code, or edit the source code and recompile [13:01] tntCry, if you've set xchat to record logs, go to Settings, Preferences and under Chatting, there is a tab for Logging, if you click "Open Data Folder" that will bring up any logs you've recorded [13:01] What happened to the package kdar? [13:02] #ubuntu.fr [13:02] oups === chaky_ is now known as chaky [13:04] im going to offtopic for an important speech go to #ubuntu-offtopic [13:04] jrib: ok, so for a person like me who never does any programing, those source code repos are totally unneccessary then, or? [13:04] yes [13:04] well, most of the time [13:04] most of the time they're not useful to programmer either :/ [13:05] +s [13:05] hi, I have problem to install grub on 2GB HDD, I have tried almost everything, LiveCD, alternate Rescue System, grub-isntall, grub , etc.. [13:05] aladinsane, no [13:05] aladinsane: probably. Would be easy enough to enable if you ever change your mind anyway [13:05] aladinsane, may need some code for compiling a program [13:06] kahrytan: you don't need the sources for that. [13:06] Ok, got three different answers there, I'll leave them checked then.. [13:06] kahrytan: I mean [13:06] Chousuke_, confused -dev for source [13:06] yeah === Nex is now known as Nexuria [13:08] I need check if a package is already installed. I'm using "dpkg -l | grep package_name", checking the length of return. It's the better way? [13:09] dpkg -l |grep ^ii [13:09] I've trouble with nvidia-dynamic-twinview: metacity (or compiz) do not detect the outputs correctly, so panels span among screens and windows are maximized among screens as well... [13:10] wols_: hmm, sounds good. thanks ;) [13:10] help grub error 22 :( fdisk -l says this /dev/hdc2 * 12495 14567 16651372+ 83 Linux [13:10] quit [13:10] quit [13:10] tried root (hd2,1) but it says no partition [13:10] andreuu: how far do you get with grub? does the menu show?

[13:12] i wanted it to install to hdc1 [13:12] not hda1 is hda2 for some reason and grub gives error 22 [13:13] i dont get a menu in grub its command line [13:13] lol someone else plz ? [13:14] MindSpark, you said dyndns could be set up to refresh every 180 seconds. is that okay with dyndns.org? do they alow you to refresh so often? [13:14] plz help ubuntu installed the mbr or something to hda1, linux is on hdc2 and now i get Grub error 22 [13:15] i want to put a boot sector on hdc and boot from that in bios [13:16] they say to type root (hd2,1) for hdc2 ?

[13:19] nah [13:19] I can just ctrl + alt + backspace [13:19] and it just works again [13:19] to boot ubunto i had to make bios boot from hda [13:19] but its installed on hdc [13:19] according to the forums it has something to do with the video memory [13:19] but I didn't find a solution for the problem [13:19] if i boot from hdc nothing happens but hda worked now hda doesnt work and error 22 [13:19] andreuu: answer my questions please [13:20] andreuu: if it worked, what did you change since then? [13:20] nothing [13:20] i changed it to boot from a diff hd in bios [13:20] and now hda is showing as hdb [13:20] andreuu: so you DID change things [13:21] changing stuff in bios might affect drive letters yes [13:21] yes but when i changed it back it broke [13:21] anyway hda is now showing as hdb in bios [13:21] didnt switch cables or anything [13:21] andreuu: that sort of thing doesn't happen [13:21] andreuu: you've changed things [13:21] h1st0: I need the gutsy version of the amd64 build-essential deb. The site you referred me to doesnt have gutsy. Where else can I get deb files from? [13:22] i rebooted, sound didnt work in my game [13:22] rebooted again and it stopped altogether [13:22] komodo: there should be a gutsy release [13:22] komodo: packages.ubuntu.com [13:22] is there another ubuntu 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 :) [13:23] andreuu: thats because hd2 is the THIRD disk [13:23] ubun00b: still nothing [13:23] dmn [13:23] damn [13:23] hdc is the linux partition [13:23] andreuu: for the last time: how many harddisks. ALL of them please [13:23] hmm, very useful resource, thanks [13:23] linux disk [13:23] Woutifier: what version of ubuntu? and what effects are you using? [13:23] ubun00b: language please [13:23] hdb hdc hdd and sda1 [13:23] andreuu: hdb in linux is hd1 in grub [13:24] so hdc would be hd2 [13:24] jrib: I'm using gutsy, and full effects with compiz [13:24] IdleOne: sorry, i'm very frustrated atm :) [13:24] root (hd2,1)Error 22: No such partition [13:24] andreuu: do you want me to say it again for you, hdb is hd1 in grub [13:24] andreuu: it doesn't matter what is hdc or not. grub sees NO hdc [13:24] Woutifier: it's a compiz-related bug. See if #compiz-fusion knows of a workaround [13:24] ikonia: only if hdb1 exists [13:24] ubun00b: understandable but it does not help to curse and is rude. you are intelligent enough to find better ways of expressing your emotions :) [13:24] wols_: of course [13:25] i want to boot from hdc [13:25] in bios [13:25] andreuu: then change the bios to boot from the correct disk [13:25] * wols_ puts andreuu on ignore [13:25] jrib: okay thanks! [13:25] if anyway can help me write a boot sector to that it would be great [13:25] andreuu: your not understand this at all [13:25] !grub >andreuu [13:25] andreuu: read the link from ubotu [13:26] i answered your questions and you ignore and abuse me [13:26] andreuu: no-one is abusing you [13:26] andreuu: when asking for help it is important that you take the advice of the person helping. insisting on doing things the way you want only makes it harder for the helper to help you [13:26] i understand it must get frustrating in here plz be patient with me [13:27] andreuu: you lied [13:27] where did i lie ? [13:27] Is there a way to reinstall all the packages on my system? [13:27] andreuu: try removing all disks except the one you want to boot from [13:27] you are calling me a liar now lol [13:27] IdleOne: is it possible for me to test this connection myself, by 'ssh user@my-ip-address' ? [13:27] I installed ubuntustudio-desktop and when I rebooted, no users appear in the GDM face browser, though I can still login manually. What gives? [13:27] IdleOne: so i don't have to bother you guys each time i need to test it [13:28] thanks for your help ;) [13:28] < andreuu> grub installed itself on hda1 < wols_> andreuu: how many harddisks do you have? < andreuu> hdb hdc hdd and sda1 [13:28] Because my alternative is to install Fiesty, put a hold on the kernel image, upgrade to Gutsy, reinstall all the software I had on there, recompile my audio drivers, and move my /home backup back... [13:28] Creationist: thats just a gnome theme option [13:28] ubun00b: that might work but you wouldnt know if anybody outside your network can connect. have you open ports on your router? [13:28] thats straight from fdisk -l [13:28] andreuu: lets cut to the chase. Forget everything. Put the disks in the order you want in the bios, and leave it alone. Then we can help you configure grub [13:28] IdleOne: that's what i'm working on... opening port 22 on my router [13:29] i have ikonia [13:29] stefano, sorry, was away. Yes I had an update of 180 secs with dyndns.org [13:29] andreuu: right so which disk do you want to install grub on [13:29] ubun00b: get that port open and then let me know when you got it I will test with you [13:29] hdc first its an 80g [13:29] hdc [13:29] IdleOne: oki [13:29] no 120g lol [13:29] andreuu: I'm not laughing [13:29] Hi, does anyone here have a ATI 3800 working in linux? [13:29] k [13:29] Viaken: what is the problem? [13:30] MindSpark, i just read on their website "the ip adress should only be updated when it's changed [...] everything else is abuse" [13:30] ikonia: Ah, I see it changed the gdm from "Theme with face browser" to "theme". But the strange thing is that it still showed the box where the usernames were held, it was just empty :) [13:30] Creationist: thats just a theme option [13:30] !hardware | Roy_M check the list to see if it is supported [13:30] Roy_M check the list to see if it is supported: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [13:30] thanks IdleOne [13:31] MindSpark, i just installed inadyn, it seems pretty lightweight and easy, i will just set a cronjob for every one minute and hope that it checks by itself if the adress has changed or not [13:31] ok ill unplug the hd's I dont want cause then hopefully i wont kill anything [13:31] stefano, these might be new policies. But this is also doable. ddclient stores the last ip in it's cache. You can make it check with your router to see if it has changed or not, and update accordingly [13:32] I'm going to do a fresh install of ubuntu, as gutsy has gotten pretty slow as of late. Any suggestions on what I should back, except for /home? [13:32] MindSpark, ddclient hasnt worked for me [13:32] tried several times [13:32] only really wanted to verify that (hd2,1) is hdc2 [13:32] Stormx2`: nothing else [13:32] stefano, you have a couple of options to do that. Maybe you had your client set to check your ip using dyndns itself. While you could do it with the router [13:32] wols_: A little filesystem corruption fun, then fsck.jfs decided /usr/lib was unrecoverable and removed it. [13:32] perhaps it wants to write the boot sector to hdc1 [13:32] mmm [13:33] Viaken: can't you install gutsy and then install whatever special krenel you want? [13:33] MindSpark, i have a wrt54g, i suppose it could do that but right now it's broken. i'm going to return it today if i find the reciep :) [13:33] good idea [13:33] i answered all your questions zomg guys take a break [13:33] Anyone here familiar with a Webmin+Apache+Awstats setup on ubuntu 7.10? [13:33] thx hf [13:33] Xaosratt: webmin is dead in ubuntu [13:33] do it tomorrow windows still works .... [13:33] Xaosratt, i know that webmis is not to be used anymore [13:33] stefano, alright, sorry, I've only worked with ddclient and that was already some time ago. [13:33] Xaosratt: webmin isnt used by anyone anymore. [13:33] Xaosratt: what do you need to have done? [13:34] hello [13:34] MindSpark, thank you for your help anyways, i'll tell you if it worked in two days or so [13:34] stefano, great :) [13:35] wols_: It's not in the repos anymore. My laptop hard locks with 2.6.22-14, but is fine with 2.6.22-11. :\ [13:35] I've filed a bug report. [13:35] xcasex: why is it not used anymore? It seems to be very popular? As for what I need, it apears that the default apache log output is different when configured by webmin in Ubuntu, its causeing some issues with Awstats not getting all available data (ie, no OS or browser data is collected, but the rest is) [13:35] Xaosratt, you should check out lighttpd (pronounced "lighty") [13:35] Xaosratt: you need to change the log format to combined, but be aware that webmin is dead [13:35] I can't record using internal or external mic how can i check if the mics are detected [13:35] Xaosratt: security issues and support issues [13:36] Interesting, would have been nice to know before my server had been online for a month [13:36] Xaosratt: your responsability to check on software before installing it [13:36] Any site that reffernces these security and support issues? [13:36] i'm booted to linux on a flash drive right now, is there any way i can back up all the settings i've set before i install on a partition? or should i just not worry about it an reset everything [13:36] Xaosratt: research research research, is your new litany :) [13:36] Xaosratt: all over the interent === carnelai1 is now known as carnelain [13:36] Xaosratt: securityfocus.com [13:37] and somehow i managed to marco over my 'd' key, so now i have to paste it in if i want to use it [13:39] Let's try this. How do you connect to a WPA2 wireless network from the command line? :P [13:39] Hmm, how can I start compiz with different command line options? [13:40] <_blitz_> when i click bittorent ,it asks for a bittorent meta file.anyone with some experience on this? [13:42] hmm... I'm getting about 50 lines of this in dmesg, should I be worried? 'drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: nonzero read/write bulk status received: -71' [13:42] Hi I have a problem i am using HP 530 and ubuntu but sound dont work i tried hing helped can anyone help me pls i am new to linuxto set sound but not [13:42] ndlovu: do you have an usb connected device that works weird? [13:43] new to the english language too I guess [13:43] Matrosh: how about taking a DEEEP breath, think what you want to say and then say it coherently [13:43] wols_: no need to be insulting [13:43] mavi-, it's a printer that seems to work fine sometimes, and other times it hangs until I switch it off and on again [13:43] wols_ let's hear your Inuktitut [13:43] wols_: no need to be nasty [13:43] ndlovu: thats probably it [13:43] Hmm, how can I start compiz with different command line options?, In other words which file starts compiz [13:43] this is not an inuit channel, is this? [13:43] ndlovu: try google the error message [13:43] english isn't my first language either [13:44] mavi-, I'll see what I can find [13:44] how can i reset the stupid thing i did by macroing over the 'd' key? [13:45] wols_: then you should understand better then others how difficult english is to learn. be patient and polite if you cant then you should not be in here trying to help people [13:45] ikonia: Ok, Webmins issues aside for the moment, apache logformat is "LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined". What exactly is not right with this to be causing Awstats to only accept "Logformat=4", rather than the 1 all the help files say it should be out of the box with apache2? [13:45] tssk. we're all debian users, we were born being arrogant sons of bi... [13:45] Hm my usb devices works well , only sound doesnt work.I downloaded codecs nothing changed. [13:46] Matrosh: do you know how to start up synaptic? [13:46] i downloaded Mplayer(friend adviced it to me that it uses own codecs) [13:46] xcasex: i'd venture to say no, we're not all debian users :P [13:46] xcasex: you should know that in here we aren't debian users... [13:46] riotkittie: then you're diluted :p [13:46] wols_ hey i still consider myself a SLS user :p [13:46] ubuntu is not debian [13:47] just like gentoo isnt LFS :p [13:47] I doubt you can still find SLS anywhere. not to mention it wouldn't run on your hardware unless you have a 386sx tucked away somewhere [13:47] wols_: tssk. [13:47] anyway, coffee break! [13:47] yes i know how to start synaptic [13:48] Matrosh: what do you mean with usb devuces works well only sound doesn't work? [13:48] is your soundcard working or not? [13:49] what soundfiles are you trying to play? [13:49] hello all [13:49] HI~ [13:49] soundcard is working correctly on WinXP which i am using on this notebook too [13:49] !hi | lacuce [13:49] lacuce: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [13:50] can anyone tell me how to change the network device name from eth2 to eth0? === PriitM_ is now known as PriitM [13:51] lacuce, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/NetgearWG111 (under part 2 dapper drake) [13:51] lacuce: /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules [13:51] stefano, thanks, i'll check it out [13:52] wols, thanks, i'll look at it [13:54] any alert reminder program ? [13:54] teatime? [13:54] let me check that out [13:55] Hi [13:55] I've got a question [13:55] Hello [13:55] !ask | sam_ [13:55] sam_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [13:56] Why does the route command waits a couple of secs before showing the default gw? [13:56] must be how long it takes for the command to search and report the output [13:56] hmmm [13:56] couple of seconds to long to wait? [13:57] I was thinking that it could mean there could be some kind of problem with the network setup [13:58] wols_, thanks, the device name is now changed to eth0 [13:59] the only problem I find with linux distros is that everybody is always looking for bugs. in windows if something takes 2 seconds you dont see 1500 users join a channel to ask about it [13:59] windows users don't use irc [13:59] wols_: sure they do [13:59] but this is offtopic [13:59] sorry [14:00] Well [14:00] i'm starting up ubuntu from a magazine cover disc on my office machine. Surely i should be able to see the harddrive in one way or another? [14:00] and people don#t look for bugs. it's just that in linux you still ahve to do a lot of "manual" work, while on windows all vendors makre sure you only have to click on setup.exe, next,next,next,finish [14:00] I'm sorry, but route is a simple command [14:00] i do df -h and all i see are things called tmpfs, varrun, udev and such [14:00] and I'd hope it would just give me it's current setup [14:00] if that wizard doesn't work it's of course unsolvable but that's why lots of people are paid to make sure it does work [14:00] i was expecting some /dev drive or so [14:00] So please can anyone help me with my sound problem? I am using notebook HP530 i installed ubuntu and sound doesn't work i've been trying to open mp3 or avi files also starting sound doesnt play :X [14:00] sybariten: you should [14:01] hm === JJ|Laptop is now known as joeyjones [14:01] But I'll dig into its source to try to find why the hell it takes a couple of seconds to do that [14:01] sybariten: what disk controller? [14:01] this is a red hat machine by the way, so the drive could be ext2 or ext3 or so [14:01] wols_: hm. sorry man... what is? this could be a scsi system [14:01] Matrosh: have you installed w32codecs ? [14:02] i looked into /etc/fstab to see if anything had been automatically added there [14:02] but nothing exciting there [14:02] look at lspci output instead [14:03] is anyone familiar with the zd1211rw driver? does it support SMP or do I NEED the vendor-based community driver for that? [14:03] sybariten, the hard drive may not have been automatically mounted, possibly you'll have to look into mounting it manually before you get access to it [14:03] idleOne : nope i am idiot i know i am new in that can you play help me with it where i can download it ? easily with dowloading program or from some special page ? [14:03] dgjones: yeah but still... as long as there is a boot-able HD in the machine, shouldnt it be visible with df -h? [14:04] !w32codecs [14:04] The Win32 codecs are available from the Medibuntu repositories (see « /msg ubotu medibuntu »), and for releases prior to Gutsy, also at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages [14:04] i mean, sure, i may miss it but i generally tend to see what the drives are [14:05] any good Alert software? [14:05] alert software? [14:05] or reminder [14:05] software [14:05] Bonster: you could check freshmeat for "pim" [14:05] Hi all ! [14:05] sybariten, not sure, i've never needed to use the df command, i don't know whether it will show unmounted drives === lmr_ is now known as lmr[A] [14:06] I can't compile these vmware kernel modules on feisty... wth not !? [14:06] How could it be possible that i can't find my libnss-ldap.conf after installed the libnss-ldap package ? [14:06] ShredZ: do you think we are psychic? [14:06] For information, i'm running on Gutsy ! [14:06] wols_, no but you might know why stock ubuntu kernel headers don't compile with vmware modules ? [14:06] hey, i found [14:06] it [14:06] i think [14:06] ShredZ: there are error messages [14:07] i remember now, sudo fdisk -l is the thing i generally use, not df -h .... and i see a /dev/sda1 and a /dev/sda2 [14:07] Linux LVM, what does that mean? [14:07] logical volume manager [14:07] !lvm [14:07] 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 [14:07] Just to let you know I've answered my own question [14:08] ok ... and what does it "mean to me" in this case? one partition is of id 83, looks smaller, the other is of id 8e, thats the LVM one, looks bigger [14:08] If your route takes a couple of seconds to display the current setup [14:08] you have a problem with your resolv.conf [14:08] :p [14:08] hi, is it possible to prevent users from seeing others processes with top and ps, how so? [14:08] sam_: what problem was it? [14:08] wols_, http://pastebin.org/10298 [14:09] route was taking a couple of seconds to display the default gw [14:09] If I press Clear in Mplayers equalizer the colors get all screwed, anyone know how to set them back to "default"? [14:09] ShredZ: you probably need the any-to-any patch for vmware [14:10] When I boot, my network interfaces are all screwed up: lo is missing entirely and eth0 is not configured for the static IPv4 address I assigned it. I can fix it with "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart; sudo ifconfig lo up" once I have logged in, but I would like it to start up correctly on boot. [14:10] sam_: I meant, what was the problem in your resolv.conf? [14:10] hi [14:10] Anyone able to tell me how to bypass fsck at startup? [14:10] Rickk: probably by changing the groups they belong to. [14:10] !fsck > chazco (chazco, see the private message from Ubotu) [14:11] I had old nameservers, that were a couple of thousand miles apart from my current network :/ [14:11] Rickk: did you try searching the forums? [14:11] the lag was due to the time it tokk to perform a nslookup [14:11] LjL - so theres no way to bypass it when it happens though? I'm using a laptop, and it can be annoying when it decides to fsck 120GB filesystem on battery before a presentation [14:12] chazco: tune2fs [14:12] chazco: no, when it starts it must be left running, otherwise it may *break* the filesystem [14:12] Ah typical :( Makes my laptop impractical really [14:12] IdleOne: could you try now? toresn.dyndns.org [14:12] chazco: well, just tell it to never fsck at all, and remember to do it manually once in a while [14:12] chazco: just power down your lappie cleanly and it won't happen [14:13] that too [14:13] It does it every 30 or so boots wols_ [14:13] But it seems to always be the one when i dont want it to :D [14:13] LjL: I used to press ctrl+alt+del when it started checking the disk, never had any problems but I guess that's not recommended :D [14:13] that you can change by tune2fs as I said [14:13] do enyone know were the hell is Etapien [14:14] I guess... but disabling it altogether isnt the best solution [14:14] thanks wols_ , that patch seems to have done it alright [14:14] chazco: I remember seeing some guide that explained how to stop it but I can't remember how it was done or where it was. Can't be that hard to find with google though. [14:15] Can anyone give me their defaults for video in Mplayers equalizer? I've messed up my settings and don't know how to get them back to default. [14:15] chazco, a quick look at the relevant /etc/init.d scripts seems to tell me that fsck is not run when on battery power === smooker_ is now known as smookerPC1 [14:15] hmm... it has definatly done it before [14:15] The only thing that is different from my previous install on this machine is that / is on /dev/md0 and /var symlinks to a directory on /dev/md1 (which is automounted to /drives/mirror). [14:15] how do i register my nick ? [14:15] !register | smookerPC1 [14:15] smookerPC1: 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 [14:16] Perhaps it changed between 7.04 & 7.10... a lot of stuff did [14:16] toresn: nope [14:16] toresn: connection timed out [14:16] is there a program that would allow you to find out a password that was stored into the "keyring" i have a mapping set up to an ftp account but i need to get the password [14:16] my guess is that this is asked like once a day, but.... [14:17] ....is there any NTFS write support with the Ubuntu live CD? [14:17] if so, i am ditching the LVM machine and trying ubuntu on an XP machine here.... but i need disk access, coz i am gonna work on some large files... [14:18] !ntfs-3g [14:18] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [14:18] and with "NTFS support", i mean something in the line of "it works, you will not destroy your companys XP install while doing it" [14:18] what's the best way to view hd (720p) apple trailers when browsing apple's site with firefox? [14:19] What's the best way to view hd (720p) apple trailers when browsing apple's site with firefox?

Feisty-Gnome-ALSA [14:21] sybariten: NTFS-3G is it [14:21] does the new pidgin has video support? [14:26] Bonster: no [14:27] can I view apple trailers (.mov/h.264) with totem? [14:27] !dvd | amadeux [14:27] amadeux: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [14:27] HI, using feisty lame server every things going fine. but my squid is not working fine. i download paltalk, msn messnger etc files but when i download these files next time, its not comming from my cache, Why Help [14:27] i am not using any bandwidth controller [14:28] how do I enable a framebuffer console [14:28] IdleOne, I am not talking about dvds [14:29] Is medibuntu available for gutsy? [14:29] !medibuntu | amadeux [14:29] I found /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.22-14/drivers/video/intelfb and /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/video/intelfb [14:29] amadeux: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [14:29] amadeux: you need libdvdcss2 to view .mov files [14:29] IdleOne, ok [14:30] IdleOne, but mplayer seems to be able to play h.264 files just fine? [14:30] LjL - which init.d script was the battery test in? [14:30] chazco, both checkfs.sh and checkroot.sh [14:30] Oki, thanks :) [14:30] Is there a way to have the mousescrollbutton switch windows?

[14:34] amadeux: ok, i'll have a look at it, yes he he's the man! [14:34] IdleOne: could try again? the port should be open now [14:35] * +you [14:35] Morning guys! How do I get the connection when I connect ubuntu to a router? Under Windows the connection is automatically there. Thanks [14:35] i have a system with 2 drives one os and one data, i rebooted the other day an now the second data disk is gone, i can boot to the live disk and use the second disk just fine [14:35] toresn: timed out again [14:35] but not on may main system [14:36] is it possible to log in with 2 users in gnome simultaneously? (so the session of user1 is kept alive while user2 is busy and vica versa) [14:36] mount /dev/sdb1 /160gig/ [14:36] mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /160gig/ busy [14:36] OroMaster: /var can be any filesystem that can be written to if it's on a separate partition than / but normally it's ext2/ext3 [14:36] i took it out of fstab [14:36] IdleOne: ok :/ [14:36] but still cannot mount [14:36] Is there a way to have ubuntu associate with a trusted wireless point, even before a user logs on? [14:36] When I try to play a .mov/h.264 file in totem, I get this error: "Video codec 'Advanced Video Coding (H264)' is not handled. You might need to install additional plugins to be able to play some types of movies." I have installed medibuntu repos in my sources.list and apt-get'ed w32codecs and libdvdcss2, but still.... [14:38] I have /dev/md0 (ext3) mounted at / and /dev/md1 (ext3) mounted at /drives/mirror with /var symlinking to /drives/mirror/var. My network is screwy on boot up. [14:39] On boot, lo is down and eth0 is not configured correctly. [14:39] Hey, what means Enable GL Desktop ? [14:39] amadeux: I play that kind of files with mplayer [14:39] what version of Ubuntu are you running? [14:40] "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart; sudo ifconfig lo up" seems to solve the problem, but what can I do to get it to boot cleanly? [14:40] Argh. Automatix is freezing up on me! [14:41] OroMaster-> having /var symlink to unmounted partition at boot is sure a prescription for disaster [14:41] !automatix | a1r3yu [14:41] a1r3yu: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [14:41] hardware-Rks, gutsy [14:41] /dev/md1 automounts to /drives/mirror on boot. /var points into that directory. [14:42] OroMaster-> attempt to correct the symlinking problem first, /var is a very important system directory for logging and such.. [14:42] bkraptor, yeah, mplayer works ok for that sort of file. But the mplayer plugin does not work flawlessly at all, not on the apple page at least. I think apple uses some crap techniques so that it only works fine with quicktime (yuck) [14:42] whats automatix ? [14:42] hello all [14:42] i got problem using apt-get [14:42] hello [14:42] smookerPC1: a pretty useless script, google will answer you, or read the above article [14:42] smookerPC1: Its a package that makes it easier to install some programs, but often fails and leads to a broken system, we dont support it, please see ubotu;s nessage above. [14:43] it show this error > E: Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) [14:43] E: Couldn't read list of package sources [14:43] Hi [14:43] where can i find what the "adress" to my USB audio is? It aint /dev/dsp [14:43] any idea? [14:43] Hello guys, I'm new to this, and have a question about my sound, I run a Laptop from toshiba and the alsa mixer reports my sound as functioning.

Everything goes like a charm when typing the commands, but Windows still booting. Any tips? [15:53] g-e so isnt paste as text what you are looking for? [15:53] ok tx for advise [15:54] np [15:54] IanLiu: you are installing grub to the wrong boot disk ? [15:54] danbhfive: no, it makes all cells white. regardless of the color the cell had before pasting. [15:54] i found a way though! [15:54] I dunno [15:54] copy the text to gedit first. [15:54] IanLiu: that is my diagnoses [15:54] then copy from gedit and then paste into calc. [15:55] hi, i have multiple machines on my home network running on ubuntu. is there anyway that these machines can share resource (e.g. package information) rather than have each one of them download this information? [15:55] I type grub > find /boot/ (...) (as said on the HowTo) [15:55] !console [15:55] IanLiu: where are you installing grub to? [15:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about console - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [15:55] then it gives you a nice menu with all options and it works. [15:55] it says (hd1,0) [15:55] IanLiu: that is the root, so setup should be (hd0) [15:55] onats: look at apt-proxy, apt-cacher, etc [15:55] IanLiu: as (hd0) is normally the boot disk [15:55] jrib: thanks...and for FAT? [15:55] hmm [15:55] ok, I will try [15:55] thanks [15:55] wols, thanks! [15:55] IanLiu: you don't boot from hd1,0 as thats a partition, not a disk [15:56] I see [15:56] IanLiu: but he could install grub there [15:56] yeah [15:56] !console is terminal [15:56] IanLiu: where are you installing grub to? [15:56] I'll remember that, Pici [15:56] wols_: yeah, grub installed on hd1 [15:56] nik_: that one requires some extra steps, try googling "label fat ubuntu" [15:56] IanLiu: and windows is on hd0? [15:57] wols_: I don't know where things are installed [15:57] I did 'sudo aptitude install mplayer-amd64' but when I type mplayer in terminal I get 'bash: /usr/bin/mplayer: No such file or directory [15:57] wols_: I don't know how I see this [15:57] anyone knows a download program like DAP (Download Accelerator Plus) for linux?? [15:57] wols, what if i have 2 ubuntu, and 1 debian sarge, will that be a problem? [15:57] how can i tell pppd not to use LCP echos? [15:57] IanLiu: you install grub, eg. with grub-install or such? [15:57] !info mplayer-amd64 | krim [15:57] krim: Package mplayer-amd64 does not exist in gutsy [15:57] krim: there's no such package, it is just "mplayer" [15:58] onats: no problem, but the sarge can't use the ubuntu repos obviously [15:58] in terminal how could i access a folder with spaces like /home/bob/meow mix [15:58] wols_: no. I run Ubuntu from Live CD and run 'grub' in terminal [15:58] Jork: If you look at the addon site for Firefox there is some popular download manager [15:58] and neither can ubuntu use sarge repos [15:58] hello [15:58] skyfalcon866: cd "folder with spaces" [15:58] wols, right.. so it'll only work for one or the other type of linux... [15:58] i did' [15:58] wols_: than I follow the !fixgrub HOW TO [15:58] IanLiu: you install grub one way or the other. either with grub-install or by runnint setup [15:58] thanks krim!

[16:06] stoneman: never tried so not sure there [16:06] wols_: Odd you can get it to call another computer over the internet but not a local one. COuld you not just bounce the call off their server? [16:06] andreuu: we went through all your grub situation earler [16:06] skyfalcon866: thats fine [16:07] doesnt that mean it in 10000+ fragments [16:07] hd0 is primary master [16:07] guess I will have to Jack.. [16:07] my hd is secondary though [16:07] stoneman: iirc mplayer will play bin/cue movies, but I'm not sure if it respects the cue file chapters [16:07] skyfalcon866: ext3 does not work the same way as ntfs(windows) filesystems do, its like comparing apples and oranges.

[16:08] does ext3 have better allocation than ntfs and fat32 [16:08] wols_: Silly me, I forget not all lans have internet acces [16:08] stoneman: fairy nuff [16:08] so I should point root to (hd2,1) right ?

[16:11] device map hey [16:12] i dont use benshee, i use bmp [16:12] would be quicker just to reinstall, lol, still be good to get my head around this [16:12] fdisk shows it as hdc [16:12] err how do i get into ifconfig? [16:12] andreuu: we have been through this 10 times earlier [16:12] andreuu: IS there a reason you have it on the secondary ide [16:12] LemonIceTea: just type "ifconfig" [16:13] Jack_Sparrow: time waster [16:13] yes cables arent long enough [16:13] Got it.. thanks [16:13] : type it on where? sorry im seriously a newbie here [16:13] LemonIceTea: no problem, open a terminal (do you know how to do that) and type "ifconfig" [16:13] mobile rack only just fit from primary [16:14] alright i'll go try now.thanks ikonia [16:14] andreuu: just fyi, when you add the other harddisks back in you will have to do the grub installation all over again. so put all disks in the way you want it, THEN isntall and configure grub. NOT before [16:14] andreuu: Save yourself some headache... get a longer cable or move the drive into a diff mount. [16:14] anyone here using apt-cacher? [16:14] Hi, If I have installed the latest git version of compiz-fusion, will auto update try and revert this to the current ubuntu distributed version? [16:14] ikonia: /sbin/ifconfig [16:14] wols_: he shouldn't need the full path [16:14] Whitor: yes [16:14] Whitor: look at equivs [16:14] eww [16:14] ikonia: does ubuntu have /sbin on normal user paths? [16:14] equivs? ... ok [16:14] i use laptop mode, and firefox causes my hard drive to spin a lot [16:14] wols_: think so [16:14] wols_: never checked [16:14] any way to prevent firefox from touching the disk? [16:15] romme: why would you want that ? [16:15] onats: You'll probably get help faster if you just ask what you want to know right away. [16:15] Whitor: I dont think autoupdate will revert [16:15] ikonia: i want my hard drive to remain standby for most of the time [16:15] ok... how do i know if its working? hehehe [16:15] i have installed fedora distribution and i would like install ubuntu distribution without it lose fedora's grub [16:15] romme: How much ram is in the laptop [16:15] romme: not really then [16:15] danbhfive: ok. It didn't try to this morning... but I wasn't sure [16:15] is there a way to tell if a package has been updated recently? I.e. if I wanted to find out if the package management system had updated banshee recently, could I find that out? [16:15] how can i do it? [16:15] * onats hungry [16:15] Whitor it may overwrite when updates are posted to the repositories... [16:15] Whitor: basically if/when there is a new compiz version in ubuntu it will overwrite your git version [16:15] rarito: thats not really practical, they are different versions with different patches [16:16] Jack_Sparrow: 2gb [16:16] rarito: it is possible, but ubuntu updates will cause you problems [16:16] wols_: But shouldn't it version check to see whats installed? [16:16] wols_ but thats very different from reverting it, autoupdate doesnt check the files i dont think [16:16] it only checks its internal database [16:16] rarito: If you are wanting to have both fedora and ubuntu, the ubuntu installer should see the other install and add it to it's grub [16:16] Whitor: you didn't use the package management. it only knows what is installed via apt [16:16] danbhfive: but... if it /is/ checked in synaptic as being installed.... [16:17] Whitor: which is why I mentioned equivs: you just create an equivs dummy package for your compou [16:17] *compiz [16:17] for apt-cacher, say i do not have access to the apt-cacher server at the moment, but want to upgrade, will i have to change the sources list during these times? [16:17] ikonia: please guide me to ifconfig (if it is not too much to ask) [16:17] ikonia, Jack_Sparrow, ill try do it with ubuntu's grub [16:17] gcarrillo: you can check the dpkg log in /var/log/dpkg.log [16:17] wols_: It was installed via synaptic first ... I guess I should uninstall that, then reinstall only via git [16:17] Whitor: the UBUNTU version is installed in synaptic, NOT your git version [16:17] Pici: thank you [16:17] wols_: of course [16:17] so if I buy a new HD, i have to do grub all over again ? [16:17] naah [16:17] yep [16:17] LemonIceTea: wols waas right type "/sbin/ifconfig" [16:18] Whitor: while this will work with this package such a thing would stop working witha library or such. equivs is the better way === tomwo0f is now known as wo0f [16:18] wols_: no sbin in path, good call [16:18] wols_: ok, I'll check it out [16:18] andreuu: only if your boot order in BIOS changes [16:18] im never changing boot order again [16:18] Anyone here know how to restart pidgin?

[16:20] i am not able to locate the sbin/ifconfig [16:21] wait, maybe i will state down my problem clearly here [16:21] romme, i'd say first figure where and why ff is accessing the disk. if it turns out to be ~/.mozilla, you could always mount a solidstate drive there [16:21] just type ifconfig into cli, and it shoud work.

[16:34] onats: Same packages, just different architectures for them. [16:34] onats: x64 uses packages compiled for x64, and i386 uses packages compiled for i386. [16:34] brobostigon, I know [16:35] but I have Ubuntu installed right now, and only need XP for a few programs such as photoshop [16:35] onats: some packages are i386 -only though, so there's some disparity.

[16:37] Question: When you load a program with a &, what exactly does that do differently? [16:37] Haji-> what do you mean? you connect your pda to your desktop and browse the internet? [16:37] Angel: lsusb? [16:37] iqon: what is aideinit? [16:37] drc822, i would like to get more info on only a device [16:37] bulmer: I want that my pda has access to the inet. :D [16:37] ubuntu can not detect my wireless connection. [16:37] initialization script for aide [16:38] juan__: add refresh rates for your monitor and max res to the resolution section [16:38] Angel: -v? [16:38] Jack_Sparrow, how? [16:38] aide - Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment [16:38] Haji-> does it have a wifi nic card on it? does it have an ethernet or serial connection? [16:38] juan__: Start by looking them up for your hardware [16:38] iqon: have you modified your config? /etc/aide/aide.conf ? [16:38] Angel: lsusb -vD devicefile [16:38] Pici: no [16:39] bulmer: My PDA is connected over USB (is this a serial connection?) [16:39] iqon: chances are it can't work out of the box without doing some config. [16:39] drc822, like lsusb -vD 001 ? [16:39] Pici: in past versions all that has been needed is aideinit [16:39] Haji: No [16:39] Haji: Serial is usually referring to the really big connections. [16:39] ubuntu can not detect my wireless connection. [16:39] drc822, nvm i didn't see that they were more pages in the man [16:40] Haji-> umm then you have to have an application running on your pda to have internet access, tcpstack n stuff [16:40] Angel: well, like -vD /proc/bus/usb/001/001 [16:40] rpj8: :D [16:40] Angel: hehee :) [16:40] thank you drc822 [16:40] is anyone familiar with enabling the infrared scroll bar on fujitsu notebooks? [16:40] whats the major difference with desktop and server edition? [16:40] Angel: np [16:40] onats: no X11 [16:40] onats: thats the obvious one [16:40] onats: server vs. generic kernel [16:40] server edititon doesnt have x [16:40] Pici: and thats the "real" one [16:40] juan__: You running Fesity? or gutsy? [16:40] pici, what do you mean? [16:41] Fesity... [16:41] ikonia, ok thanks.. will probably install the desktop as a server.. now that you mentioned X11.. [16:41] server edition is cli [16:41] i cant upgrade..., last time i did the computer shutdown for no reason..... [16:41] onats: wise choice [16:41] I need to make my machine advertise its host name when asking for an IP, it doesn't do that currently [16:41] Does anybody knows what do i have to upgrade or install in order to repair desktop crashing when screensaver appairs in Feisty Fawn????? [16:41] or do you know how to disable the screensaver from command line, because when i try from the GUI it gets freezed. im getting the idea that maybe something its wrong just with my installation bacause i have the same problem while trying to enable desktop efects and also when i try to play 3D chess i get a message which says that i need this packages OpenGL for Python and bindings GtkGLExt for Python. [16:41] how can I set that? [16:41] onats: The server version using kernel 2.6.x-server and desktop uses 2.6.x-generic... difference in the options that the kernel was compiled with. [16:41] and screwed up gnome :( [16:41] hm, 7.10 seems kinda slow to me, so how do i disable compiz, and tracker? [16:41] and how do i change my display settings from 24bit to 16? [16:42] juan__: Not a problem... I use feisty on this box [16:42] pici, i see... i won't be able to tell the difference now... [16:42] so its going to be desktop ed. [16:42] stuart: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:42] is it just that ***** of a computer since i cant see the boot loader? [16:42] juan__: Look up your monitor refresh rates online... and I will help you add them to your xorg [16:42] ikonia, my 6.06lts doesnt show that i have wireless when i go into the networking [16:42] drc822, thanks [16:42] stuart: there's a default bitdepth line at the end [16:42] bulmer: don't understand that now :D [16:42] LemonIceTea: what is your wirless card [16:42] onats: Well the most user (not administrator) visible change is that -server doesnt have restricted modules. [16:42] stuart: but i suppose u can do it from the gui too somehow [16:42] Haji oh well [16:43] Pici: the key " my wirless doesn't work etc etc" [16:43] hey [16:43] lemonicetea, can you manually input your wifi settings and conecte manually?? [16:43] ikonia: exactly. [16:43] anyone here know alot about linux kernel? [16:43] brobostigon: it can't see his card [16:43] crzedmonk: just ask the question [16:43] how can I open a rpm file ubuntu? [16:43] Galdar\Linux: use alien [16:43] drc822, i changed defaultdepth from 24 to 16 under nvidia [16:43] stuart: in xorg.conf? [16:43] Galdar\Linux: ugh dont [16:43] drc822, yep. will that do the job? [16:43] !alien [16:43] 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) [16:44] is there a way to setup terminal with no borders so it looks like text running on the desktop? [16:44] Galdar rpm is meant for redhat based machines, don't use rpm's on ubuntu/debian based systems [16:44] iqon: Take a look at this https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aide/+bug/112242 [16:44] Galdar\Linux: if u must.. alien can make rpms into debs [16:44] well need the driver for ati readon 9200... [16:44] hi my gusty laptop shows a black screen after about 15 minutes of inactivity but i put the screen saver to 2 hours anyone a sugestion what can cause this [16:44] crzedmonk: certain terminals have the "no border" option [16:44] and its put in a rpm file [16:44] Galdar\Linux: isnt there an installer on ati's page? [16:44] ubuntu not being one of them? [16:44] Galdar\Linux: don't use rpm's [16:44] susscorfa: Check the power management utility. [16:44] Galdar\Linux: like a binary installer.. and u can create ubuntu debs with it [16:44] bulmer: i have configured /etc/ppp/peers/synce-device hoping this would help me but no change... problem is perhaps that the ipfilter blocks the connection? [16:44] Galdar\Linux: Why not use the ATI restricted driver provided by Ubuntu? [16:44] anyone here using a KVM at home? what brand are you guys using? [16:44] ohh yeah there was hehe, just be theres stupid xD [16:45] onats: offtopic, try #ubuntu-offtopic or ##hardware [16:45] Galdar\Linux-> i suggest look into some tutorial of how to create an rpm package, most likely there is a command to reverse the packaging [16:45] onats: I have a couple, all have worked [16:45] pici, noted [16:45] onats: I use kvm, I'm using it on a fedora based machine [16:45] ? [16:45] Pici: does he not mean kvm as in the kernel virtual machine ? [16:45] rpj8: all options there are switched to never [16:45] ikonia: and using rpm's isnt that dangerous.. depends on the rpm [16:45] ikonia: I took it as a hardware kvm question [16:45] wols_: im back [16:45] Haji-> blocks which? [16:45] drc822: yes it is dangerous as they will be built against a different host system [16:45] susscorfa: on battery as well as ac power? [16:45] ikonia: no he means KVM liek a switch [16:45] Pici: could well be [16:45] ikonia: but if possible it'd be better to build and use checkinstall [16:45] ikonia: Same here [16:46] wols_: it said that the dvd was hooked up on ide slave [16:46] yes both [16:46] ikonia: i never had any problems back in the day [16:46] onats: You did mean kvm as in keyboard/video/mouse, right? [16:46] btw i' m on ac [16:46] drc822: just because you havn't doesn't mean its fine to do [16:46] pici, yes i did... [16:46] Pici: ta [16:46] onats: okay, thats what I though [16:46] kvm switch that is [16:46] :) [16:46] drc822: if you can discern what rpm's are dangerous and what are not you do not need to ask how to use alien or rpm on ubuntu ;) [16:46] ikonia: and arent they basicly just compressed packages with some info [16:46] erUSUL: i didnt ask [16:47] drc822: how do you know ? you don't know what's in them [16:47] what is the best windows emulation program? [16:47] how can i make search in nautilus work the same way it used to, i tried disabling tracker and even uninstalling but searching in nautilus still doesn't work as it used to, i just want to find png files recursively [16:47] gedit has not been able to detect the character coding. [16:47] Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file. [16:47] Select a character coding from the menu and try again [16:47] hmm [16:47] rpj8: both tabs indeed , btw i am on ac [16:47] crzedmonk: most people tend to like vmware for virtualisation and wine for "emmulation" [16:47] what do I need to do? [16:47] ikonia: yaeh, but u can see whats in them [16:47] susscorfa: Must be something in the screensave settings that you're missing then, my friend. [16:47] drc822: your missing the point, but this is offtopic [16:47] anyone know how to enable the funky fujitsu touchpad scrollbar? [16:47] susscorfa: actually, I may have lied [16:47] ikonia: but as i said. its better to get the sources and use watchinstall or whatever === mike__ is now known as HPM_ [16:47] if i setup apt-cacher on a 7.10 machine, will a distro upgrade on another machine be able to use the apt-cacher?

Any Ideas? [17:11] bulmer: that SHOULD be the line? lol there is nothing :D i just write that in there :D [17:11] Jack_Sparrow: whats the difference? [17:11] Haji-> but there are additional things you have to configure, have to set an ip address to the pda and such [17:11] Jack_Sparrow: thx but why? [17:11] drc822: sodu gedit can really mess up permissions [17:11] superman: which partiton is where gutsy is installed? [17:11] Jack_Sparrow: how so?

[17:13] bulmer: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [17:13] geefinator: I think you can change the screen color for firefox and not have it use the theme color [17:14] some ideas to the splashscreen? [17:14] erUSUL: Uhm, I'm embarassed to admit that it seems the correct UUID was not listed in my fstab anyway - just took it that gparted would complain if the right UUID wasn't listed in fstab, but that was obviously not true [17:14] How many keys does a swedish keyboard have? [17:14] Haji-> that is a psuedo file really...anyhow, you echo'ed it and it is set to 1..so its okay [17:14] erUSUL I apologize... [17:14] geefinator: Dont ask, I did it for my niece once.

Kde, Kubuntu .. no idea how [17:15] Jack_Sparrow: seems to be a valid point. thanx didnt know the different configfile thingies [17:15] is DSL any good? [17:16] flokuehn: sun-java6-jdk ??? [17:16] Jack_Sparrow, yeah if gnome worked for me I would use it. [17:16] Haji-> read that tutorial you were looking at earlier, continue on [17:16] erUSUL: dont works. [17:16] Jack_Sparrow, thanks anyways :) [17:16] drc822: thanks for taking the time to read that [17:16] erUSUL yep - why is it that they chose to go with UUIDs? It was a *mess* after installing Zenwalk on my extra partition [17:16] Jack_Sparrow: every time [17:16] bulmer: that tutorial is written for gentoo... is gentoo much different to ubuntu? [17:16] erUSUL: i will try another time [17:16] Jack_Sparrow: i've actually never used kdesu or gksudo [17:16] !uuid | lusepuster_ [17:16] lusepuster_: 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) [17:16] drc822: Bet you will now [17:17] !java | flokuehn [17:17] flokuehn: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository.

I originally installed Ubuntu the way you mentioned and it didnt work. I can ask someone else if you are unsure of any other solution. [17:17] erUSUL: ok i dont know why but now it works. thank you anyway. [17:17] erUSUL: Since the Zenwalk installer along with the SUSE one for some reason assign completely new UUIDs [17:17] Jack_Sparrow: well, i actually dont use graphical clients as a root [17:17] Haji-> not much i dont think, but go and find thats ubuntu friendly flavor to ease your anxieties [17:17] Jack_Sparrow: atleast i cant think of any atm [17:17] flokuehn: no problem [17:17] erUSUL: thanks, but luckily I know blkid - that's how I found out [17:18] lusepuster_: anytime you modify parttions they get a new uuid (it is like a md5 of a file) [17:18] nomojob: I suggested super grub repair... Fixing the base issue of putting things back.. if ubuntu didnt work when you installed to the second drive with windows working then you installed grub to the wrong mbr or partition [17:18] Anyone using compiz exploding icons ? [17:18] erUSUL: Oh, that's good to know! Except, I only modified one partition and the SUSE7Zenwalk installers assigned new UUIDs to *all* partitions [17:19] bulmer: it wont work :( [17:19] I was wondering, is there any way I can let the fat32 partition that is shared between windows and ubuntu mount automaticaly when I start up instead of mounting it manualy every time [17:19] hi [17:19] freak124: Sure [17:20] lusepuster_: well th thing is anytime you edit the partition table on a disk all uuids are recomputed afaics [17:20] freak124: edit /etc/fstab [17:20] brobostigon, you have a question? [17:20] i am here to help other people, not to help myself. [17:20] erUSUL, okay... probably good for distributors, but a pain in the behind for dual booters... [17:20] Haji-> what would not work? [17:21] erUSUL: Yes, thats been my experience. repartitioning alters all the uuids [17:21] freak124: add it to your fstab [17:21] bulmer: echo "/usr/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" >> /etc/conf.d/local.start [17:21] bash: /etc/conf.d/local.start: No such file or directory [17:21] lusepuster_: uuid should not change between distros.. that seems odd that zen would show something different [17:21] drc822: it says something about no mailcap rules found [17:21] lusepuster_: all uuids on the same drive... ok.. my bad [17:22] Haji-> the >> is to append to an existing file, if it doesnt exist you get an error [17:22] bulmer: i get that part.. so gentoo is different after all :D [17:22] freak124: says that on what? [17:23] sudo edit /etc/fstab [17:23] gentoo installs from source i think, no from pre compiled packages?? [17:23] Haji yes they are a different beast..hehe [17:23] Jack_Sparrow, yep, exactly. Means we manually have to edit fstab on Ubuntu after every time a new dist is installed - with pen and pencil the only means of "copy and paste" [17:23] freak124: sudo nano or gksudo gedit [17:23] nvm, I did it via nautilus [17:24] bulmer: i get it to work... soner or later... :) [17:24] lusepuster_: But isnt that only if you add or change a partition [17:24] freak124: Please avoid sudo nautilus [17:24] Haji-> thats the spirit, persistence..kool man..keep on going [17:24] Jack_Sparrow: why? [17:25] Jack_Sparrow, obviously not, I only tinkered with one partition (and supposedly the SWAP too), but all partitions on that drive get new UUIDs, at least with these two distros [17:25] freak124: GUI apps need gksudo nautilus and you really want to avoid running nautilus as root... [17:25] bulmer: don't EVER downgrade to Windows !!! :D tux for ever :) [17:25] lusepuster_: my point exactly.. you did tinker with a partition [17:25] Feisty running fine on here, trying to fresh install Gutsy. Each time I get to the "import user settings" it freezes [17:26] <_6StringKng_> Haji: TUX FOREVER!!! [17:26] freak124: Because the gksudo for gnome which allows gui apps to run temporarily as root is smarter than the command-line sudo which will often overwrite user owned files with some owned after by root making apps inaccessible [17:26] Jack_Sparrow: thank you. [17:26] :D [17:26] Hey, what channel do i need to connect to. if i have video problems [17:26] ow, didn't know that, I will keep it in mind [17:26] <_6StringKng_> deathblooms: ask in here [17:26] hello, need a little help with the apache daemon [17:26] lusepuster_: and there should be no need to pencil it down.. you should be able to send the info over email, or on a shared partition or on usb even [17:27] erUSUL, Jack_Sparrow : thanks for your help, I'll try and reboot and see if it mounts automagically now [17:27] I have an Ati 1650 pro.

I looked through the administration -> services program, but I see no way to configure trackerd. I can see there is a low-mem mode in the man page, I just need to know, then, where I can change the parameters [18:35] macBignose: no [18:35] <|adam|> it saying press super key wahts that?

[18:38] how do i customize the ubunutu install (while installing) to drop junk software (open office..) [18:39] it seems specifically to be a part of teh install process and nothing else.

[18:40] Stormx2: here's my actual question now that i've thought about it more. Why tasksel , when apt-get and metapackagse already exist ?

[18:41] autopilot-> short for network interface card [18:41] why did it have to be so complicated hehe [18:41] cutmerock: vnc [18:42] bulmer: GNOME does a kind of "gnome mount" when you do "connect to server", making something acessible under ssh:// or ftp:// in nautilus. Afaik, this isn't available in cli [18:42] Where can I find "libgtkglext1" for gutsy? [18:42] cutmerock: Sure, use the terminal services connect tool from Applications>Internet, and you can connect to rdp (remote desktop p-something) [18:42] vnc?

[18:42] cutmerock: You dont need VNC, and it slower than RDP [18:42] Bulmer>yes, it shows a wireless connection is available, but won't show me my router [18:43] bulmer, so, where is it? [18:43] cutmerock: RDP is the built in remote desktop tool. [18:43] so how should i connect if VNC is slow? [18:43] cutmerock: right sorry ignore that, u can use windows native rdp [18:43] autopilot-> well then do a sudo ip a and see if your nic is on the list [18:43] <|adam|> januaryyes 1 second please:) [18:43] When I do apt-get update, eventually I get a message like this: Failed to fetch http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/Release Unable to find expected entry web/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)

Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [19:29] ubuntu__: try puppy, or maybe vector [19:29] scguy318: hey are you there [19:29] usser, hey it's no problem:D I know those things can be very private [19:29] Thurin1: i have another HDD, with 1.3GB which makes3GB which should be enough :P [19:29] ubuntu__: I would recommend Archlinux.. for your disk size.. but you said your a newbie so... it may be a little too much [19:29] grindcore_: that's normal for ubuntu [19:29] usser, thanks to the help you provided i might be able to complete it smoothly though [19:29] ubuntu__: No... you have to have at least 2gb on the one drive [19:29] Thurin1: yeah im newbie... yeah i got that, but u said i can install from "text" something.. [19:29] s [19:29] VSpike: I think vector is also about 1.5gb to install, maybe even two [19:30] hello all [19:30] VSpike - so can we try something ? just tell me what and i will follow this instructions [19:30] ubuntu__: Yes ubuntu.com --- 'alternative CD' [19:30] Thurin1: my question is, when im done installing it and all, how much space it will take? [19:30] anyone know how to fix samba when it wont display contents of a local shared folder? [19:30] It allows you to customize more - so you might be able to save some space [19:30] i was wondering if someone could help me with configuring GRUB, to boot into BeOS. [19:30] there is someone who can help me to deploy an app with tomcat under ubuntu gutsy gibbon? [19:30] afief: join #usser [19:31] Thurin1: you could be right about vector [19:31] ubuntu__: www.vectorlinux.com - try that.. you MAY be able to work with that [19:31] ubuntu__: try puppy - it's really neat and very light [19:31] grindcore_: if no one told you, when ubuntu asks for a password it wants your users password... [19:31] please help :'( [19:31] But most modern Linux'es .. which are 'newbie' friendly usually use at minimum 2gb [19:31] ubuntu__: small download, very quick, runs off live CD or memory stick, can be installed to hd [19:31] ubuntu__: nothing to lose by trying [19:32] Thurin1: hmm i dun need something from programers :P [19:32] !appdb | joey722 [19:32] joey722: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [19:32] VSpike: im newbie :P is it easy to use? [19:32] joey722: further help in #winehq [19:32] sorry, someone can help me with java+tomcat, Or if you know a channel about that [19:32] ubuntu__: No vector is pretty easy ... [19:32] Not as easy as Ubuntu.. but not far behind [19:32] maybe ubuntu should offer enlightment or xfce wm install [19:32] evaklo: try #tomcat [19:32] ubuntu__ : yes, I would say it is. In appearance it's basic, but it's quite simple to operate [19:32] be right back :O [19:32] fihi09: Get to work on that ;) [19:32] Lapinux so if i want to login like root i must put root and then password of the main user ? [19:33] ubuntu__: like I say, give it a go. It's a quick download, all you have to lose is one CDR [19:33] fihi09: Xubuntu comes with xfce, which is in the repos as xubuntu-desktop [19:33] ubotu : i have already install wine.... i need a tuto to install word [19:33] joey722: Did you read that link at all? [19:33] Pici: Xubuntu is dead :| [19:33] Thurin1: What? No its not. [19:33] It went from speedy to .. Ubuntu with a tiny facelift [19:33] Thurin1: anyway u said something about alternative.. how much space will it take later? [19:33] i was wondering if someone could help me with configuring GRUB, to boot into BeOS. [19:33] it's not what it used to be anywyas [19:33] well then xubuntu should be much smaller than 2gb [19:33] Thurin1: Thats different than saying that its dead. [19:33] ubuntu__: Depending on what you choose [19:34] fihi09: Not really.. it's 1.6gb [19:34] does anybody knows what does this netstat output means?? udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5353 0.0.0.0:* [19:34] My logout sound doesn't work. Log in sound is fine. and system sounds are fine. just when I logout, the .wav doesn't play. I already went to pref -> sounds. Is there something else I'm missing? [19:34] Thurin1: can i choose what to install or not to? [19:34] Keep in mind that you should always have at least 60% free space in linux.. you get to 80% and the system gets real slow :| [19:34] escuse me..... [19:34] ubuntu__: Somethings yes, some things no ... [19:34] i want to ask a queston [19:34] grindcore_: suggest you boot from the live cd and try to examine your hard drive [19:35] giulio_: Just ask :) [19:35] ok [19:35] welll [19:35] Archlinux allows you to choose everything .. but it's geared towards more advanced users [19:35] when i use tremulous [19:35] !enter | giulio_ [19:35] giulio_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:35] the game... [19:35] Thurin1: ok thx u guys, ill try alternative CD and the puppy (yes?) [19:35] anyone using hardy yet [19:35] does the installer allow you to choose partitions for each directories? [19:35] linux reduce the dimension of the window [19:35] and i can't play [19:35] Does anyone else find gutsy gets stuck trashing much more often than previous versions? [19:35] ubuntu__: Errr i'd stay away from puppy linux.. try Vectorlinux instead [19:35] Is there any *good* ftp tool availible for linux?? [19:36] gftp [19:36] I like puppy linux [19:36] can someone help with this paste please http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46737/ [19:36] Odd-rationale: really? [19:36] Hi [19:36] what should be easier? [19:36] i was wondering if someone could help me with configuring GRUB, to boot into BeOS. [19:36] Odd-rationale: I agree. [19:36] I get at least once per week that I have to reboot because I've got a few big programs open and it just becomes plain unresponsive [19:36] ehi pici [19:36] Meh, I prefer Vector .. more 'finished' [19:36] Thurin1: Sure! [19:36] listen me! [19:36] does anybody knows what does this netstat output means?? [19:36] Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State [19:36] udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5353 0.0.0.0:* - [19:36] ubuntuisloved: gftp is not good [19:36] But then again I think that Vector is also bigger as well [19:36] is there an dictionary i can apt-get? (I want to be able to use it offline) [19:36] oh.. bigger the ubuntu? [19:36] It just sits there grinding and grinding. I don't remember this happening so much before [19:36] what is it you wish to do kazim ? [19:36] Problem with booting up Ubuntu...If I don't put the installation CD into the CD drive, it simply hangs. [19:36] when i use tremulous on linux i can't play it because the window of the game is riduced! [19:37] Anyone else see that? [19:37] and i can't play it [19:37] Thurin1: what's impressive about puppy is how usable it is for how small it is. And how fast it is on old hardware. [19:37] Is there any *intelligent* ftp tool availible on linux, that can automatically find and update changed/new files to the web server? FTP tool for web developers...? === Alyxander|Away is now known as Alyxander [19:37] yea RSYNC [19:37] VSpike: true true [19:37] how can install ubuntu to fat32 [19:37] Any help would be greatly appreciated [19:37] kazim59: I was wondering the same thing [19:37] ubuntuisloved: can you rsync to an ftp server? [19:37] I'm using Arch now... but I still admire Ubuntu's design [19:37] YES [19:38] Tuxthepenguin: You don't, fat32 doesnt support permissions. [19:38] man rsync [19:38] VSpike: there's still no such ftp tool, somewhat cvs+ftp functionality [19:38] someone can tell me how can i enter in the ubuntu linux italian IRC? [19:38] rsync does FTP also [19:38] DSL is nice as well.. but not really as useable [19:38] giulio_: #ubuntu-it [19:38] giulio_:type this: /j #ubuntu-it [19:39] My favorite distro is still ubuntu, though. [19:39] ubuntuisloved: man rsync does not mention FTP [19:39] i was wondering if someone could help me with configuring GRUB, to boot into BeOS. [19:39] http://www.opbyte.it/grsync/ [19:39] gui for rsync [19:39] when u do a dumpstream with mplayer is it possible then to somehow see how many percent or how much time is left of the "dumping"? [19:39] anyone, please, can help me to find some solution (tomcat can't deploy any war at all) [or maybe you can give me another channel to asks] [19:39] Mr: Please ask in #grub, that isnt really an Ubuntu issue. [19:40] man rsync does mention it what version of rsync are you running [19:40] so the installer doesn't allow you to choose partitions for different directory? [19:40] Is this the correct place for issues with booting into Ubuntu? [19:40] pmb1: yes. [19:40] Okay, thanks Pici [19:40] rsync --version [19:41] On my system, I must have the installation CD in the drive for Ubuntu to boot. [19:41] I don't know why that is though. [19:41] is there some command line how i can check if my install of ubuntu is proper without some missing files or whatever else causing problems.??? [19:41] How do I get the logout .wav to play on logout? I already went to pref -> sounds but it still doesn't work. [19:41] does anybody knows what does this netstat output means?? [19:41] Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State [19:41] udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5353 0.0.0.0:* [19:42] ikonia can u help me ? [19:43] ubuntuisloved: rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29 [19:43] same here i guess you should just use grsync [19:44] after my upgrade to gutsy in october, my dvd writer no longer functions properly.. growisofs does not work [19:44] it reads dvds just fine, but it cannot write [19:44] ubuntuisloved: i couldn't see from the screenshots how you make it update via ftp [19:44] Ubuntu 7.10 gutsy upgraded from 7.04... Problem... When I open any X- application the header is off the screen. I must manually move it down.. Any ideas? [19:44] one sec [19:45] hello i have a system with 2 drives, once os and one data, i rebooted and lost the second drive, i can boot to a live cd and it works fine but i cannot mount dev/sdb1 already mounted or /160gig/ busy [19:45] rsync rsync://ftp.handhelds.org [19:45] ubuntuisloved: it just has a standard browse button. Can you just enter ftp://blah.org/pub/baz or something? [19:45] anyone have webcam experience with gutsy [19:45] let me try it here [19:45] ubuntuisloved: the remote must have an rsync daemon running for that to work though [19:45] has anyone set up home dns server with Ubuntu? [19:46] How do I get to use 2 screens with one Ubuntu machine (7.04)? [19:46] when you first start up an Ubuntu server how to you access rooot? [19:46] so you dont have ssh access your saying [19:46] ubuntuisloved: in my case, no [19:46] I can't su to root and passwd root is not working [19:46] I forget how to do this [19:46] DHI0424 what type of graphics card do you have [19:46] ubuntuisloved: not sure about kazim, he's gone :) [19:46] !root [19:46] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [19:46] andrew_, I'm not using a graphics card [19:46] using console right now [19:47] hallo folks Im up to install the last ubuntu and I got some questions, even with 4 gbram do I need swap? I got a 350 gb disk should I install ubuntu on the end of it or in the middle of my many 50 gb parts? [19:47] ubuntuisloved: I think maybe I could mount the remote using ftpfs [19:47] DHI0424: Note.. use gksudo for gui apps [19:47] #Ubuntu-Wisconsin [19:47] shit [19:47] whoops [19:47] Frederick: always swap [19:47] yes you could do that [19:47] #Ubuntu-pl [19:47] that would be easier to allow rsync to work with it [19:47] rsync is much better then ftp [19:47] anyone have webcam experience with gutsy [19:48] Jack_Sparrow, how do I set the passwd for root? I just installed Ubuntu. [19:48] can someone help with this paste please http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46737/ [19:48] Frederick: Keep is as close to first partition as possible so that future changes will not upset grub [19:48] I've just installed Ubuntu 7.10 32-bit and it sees only 3.3GB of my 4.0GB of RAM. Any ideas why? [19:48] I need to set the password and access root via the console. [19:48] Can i get an ubuntu live CD into single user (or some other no X) mode? [19:48] sudo passwd root [19:48] If I'm booting multiple Linux distros on the same machine (say, Fedora 6, Ubuntu Feisty, and Ubuntu Gutsy), is it necessary to have separate /boot partitions for each? Or can the boot files all coexist peacefully on the same /boot partition? [19:48] <|adam|> i have a usb headset [19:48] DHI0424: Really shouldnt do that [19:48] Jack_Sparrow: in the 3rd partition so? [19:48] ubuntuisloved: yeah, agreed. This is a windows server run by a hosting co, so i have to work with what they provide [19:48] <|adam|> i havnt got no sound [19:48] is it oki? [19:48] why does X keep starting in tty9? When gdm first starts, it starts on tty7. then if I log out, it is on tty9. Why is it doing this? [19:49] Frederick: 3rd is fine.. I assume you have a ton of logicals.. [19:49] yea some day im going to program a better gui for ftp for linux when i have much more time [19:49] bthornton: check the contents of /boot in each distro, and i think you'll find an answer for yourself [19:49] it was sudo passwd root [19:49] ubuntuisloved: they do provide webdav I think - have a feeling that might be a way to do it [19:49] hi [19:49] thanks for not telling me. [19:49] ubuntuisloved: I like ncpftp [19:49] ubuntuisloved: ncftp even [19:49] is there a way to rollback an update of apt ? [19:49] ubuntuisloved: not a gui though [19:50] yes its available on command line [19:50] mirak: short answer: no. u can inastall pkgs from /var/cache/apt/pkg though [19:50] please tell me the channel of wine thx [19:50] moot: I'd say that, yes, they can coexist--since the kernel names are all unique. I guess the question is: will the installers let me do this? For example, say the next version of Ubuntu comes out and I want ot do a fresh install of that, will it let me use the same /boot ? [19:50] winehq [19:50] giulio_: #wine [19:50] anyone have webcam experience with gutsy [19:50] ivanneto: I think that's a limitation of the 32 bit address space [19:50] saik0: is there a log of apt installs ? I need to rollback libxine last updates [19:50] anyone here know how to customize the Ubuntu Live CD (ie the wallpaper, boot screen, etc.)? I have the filesystem extracted and mounted, but can't find the config files for the life of me [19:50] ivanneto: will be the same with all 32 bit OS [19:50] ivanneto: to use all 4GB you will need a 64 bit OS [19:51] VSpike, Shouldn't the milit be 2^32 = 4GB? [19:51] simon360: you might look at reconstructor [19:51] mirak, honestly i dunno [19:51] saik0: the date indicated on the files downloaded in archives is the one on the APT mirror or on my local disk ? [19:51] hoarycripple: I've seen similar strange stuff. Including the fast user switcher switching me to vt7 when my session is actually on vt10 [19:51] Jack_Sparrow: I have, it doesn't seem to have been updated for 7.10, and I'm skeptical to use something that will "mostly" work [19:51] ivanneto: the OS requires an area of the address space reserved for its own use too [19:51] is there a way to move a file from one partition to another? [19:52] does anybody knows what does this netstat output means?? [19:52] Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State [19:52] Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State [19:52] tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:2208 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [19:52] tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [19:52] tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:2207 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [19:52] moin [19:52] simon360: Go ahead.. wast a 10cent cd... one quick way to find out [19:52] waste [19:52] VSpike, have you come across any fix? I saw a couple of possibly related issues, but no fix. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/136329 [19:52] heh, true :P [19:52] ivanneto: that is what's eaitng the missing ram [19:52] how can i extract .mdf file please?? [19:53] VSpike: thanks. [19:53] hoarycripple: no, although I haven't looked hard because I can work around it but it is irritating. Do you use effects btw? [19:53] I have a CD that's partly customized, reconstructor will run on that I presume since hardly anything is changed, minus the gfxboot background and colors [19:53] Jack_Sparrow: exactly [19:53] 7 [19:53] Is there any way to boot an ubuntu live CD with no GUI? or single user mode? [19:53] simon360: I was beta tester for the earlier version. I cant see any harm in trying it. [19:53] joey 772 i think mdf r made with alcohol 120 [19:53] Hello, sometimes using my sata disk I get this error, SCSI device sda: write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA, ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout), any idea how to fix? [19:53] bthornton: backup, and try it [19:54] VSpike, no effects here. Are you using GDM also? Maybe it is specific to GDM. I'm wondering if using KDM or XDM will fix it. [19:54] Frederick: 3 would be fine.. just hate to see you put it at 7 and have grub problems later [19:54] Jack_Sparrow: either way, it'll work better than morph8ix, which we were using :P [19:54] :) [19:54] and it was terrible, if anyone ever considers using it [19:54] how much space more or less for the last ubuntu? [19:55] hoarycripple: yes, i use gdm. Was not sure if it was related to having effects enabled or not [19:55] Frederick: go with at least 10... make a sep /home partiton as well [19:55] !specs [19:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about specs - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:55] anyone have webcam experience with gutsy [19:55] !webcam [19:55] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [19:55] VSpike, i'm going to install xdm and see if it fixes. will let you know. [19:56] Jack_Sparrow: any need for swap? I got 4 gb ram [19:56] hoarycripple: you may lose the fast user switcher function if that matters to you [19:56] Frederick: never hurts [19:56] Frederick: 2 gig [19:56] how big? [19:56] it's always good to use swap [19:56] hoarycripple: although tbh I always thought the kdm version worked better [19:56] 2 gig swap? [19:56] anyone know the kickstart command to make ubuntu not ask to continue after being unable to reach security.ubuntu.com or to turn this check off? [19:56] ?! [19:56] 2GB [19:56] Frederick: even if it is never used it is good to have some swap [19:56] Frederick: SOme people may say 4 [19:56] swap should be half of the total ram [19:56] imo* [19:57] :) [19:57] hello [19:57] gotta run... later... simon360 welcome to Ubuntu [19:57] haha [19:57] ty [19:57] Frederick: that was meant for you [19:57] :) [19:57] oki :) [19:58] does the cd comes with a partitioner? [19:58] Frederick: Yes [19:58] #ubuntu -de [19:59] VSpike, It is a gdm problem [19:59] VSpike, xdm works perfectly [19:59] whats the best way to encrypt a connection between $client and $squid_proxy_server (without ssh - for a windows mashine, firefox portable) [19:59] hoarycripple: just had a problem here when my wife tried to switch users and ended up with a blank screen. no vt switch worked, so i connected with ssh. Found an X eating 100% cpu, so killed and the monitor twanged as it does when display switches but still blank. Tried restart gdm, nothing. Used sudo chvt 10 to get my session and logout. Then tried killing gdm, still nothing. Actually had to reboot the machine! [20:00] hoarycripple: and people say linux is reliable :) [20:00] VSpike, yes, this has happened to me before too. usually happened when I was using something memory and cpu intensive (inside an X session). [20:01] hoarycripple: Nothing intensive was running, apart from those runaway X sessions [20:01] VSpike, very strange [20:01] I would go to the forums but my mouse pointer is a hand everytime I click on something [20:01] VSpike, maybe the cpu intensive stuff was just a coincidence [20:01] and acts as a grabber...what might have caused this..anyone help me out [20:02] VSpike, but I have had the exact same behaviour you are experiencing [20:02] how big do I create my home partition? === rms is now known as toadie [20:02] VSpike, will see how things work out with xdm === toadie is now known as toadi [20:02] although the default Xresources is pretty fugly [20:02] hoarycripple: I've seen that before in edgy. Sometimes a session switch would fail and you'd end up with a blank screen. When you ssh in, you find an X at 100% CPU. Kill it, and you get your greeter back, but the session is gone [20:03] VSpike, yes, I've had to do this before, but I could never get the greeter back. I would have to reboot [20:03] hoarycripple: used to get it very occasionally in feisty, but less so. But session switches always seem problematic. They don't work if you have effects enabled, for example. [20:03] hoarycripple: Oh I normally found a reboot was not needed - at most a restart of the display manager [20:03] VSpike, last couple of times this happened to me I hosed the entire system [20:04] whats the best player for avi movies? [20:04] hi, for some reason when X starts, metacity is not started any more, what would be the best & simplest way to fix this ? [20:04] <|adam|> how do i install something in ubuntu? [20:04] narothepharoh, mplayer [20:05] hoarycripple: Generally it seems not too bad in gutsy, but I should disable the effects again. I don't care about the eye candy but I like the reduction in flickering. But I can live without, and it seems to cause problems on every machine I've tried it on [20:05] |adam|, use synaptic [20:05] !synaptic | |adam| [20:05] |adam|: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [20:05] Anyone else notice system clock isn't keeping accurate time? Ubuntu 7.10 all updates [20:05] |adam|, in system/administration [20:05] VSpike, i'm not using any effects...not even using GNOME [20:05] hoarycripple: what are you using? fluxbox? [20:06] <|adam|> ok [20:06] VSpike, enlightenment cvs [20:06] hoarycripple: oh, i looked at it ages ago but never tried it [20:06] Can the swap partition on a Linux system be in LVM? [20:06] xsensors showing blank window :( [20:06] hoarycripple: I always used kde up to now, just giving gnome a spin [20:06] how does metacity normally start ? It does not start automatically for me any more [20:07] eFfem: are there any plugins I need to install? === adante_ is now known as adante [20:07] hoarycripple: I could enable kdm again i suppose but it annoys my wife when I "change the way the computer works" :) [20:07] VSpike, enlightenment cvs is a completely different beast nowadays (of course I don't know exactly how long ago you tried it).

[20:09] I'm running from the Live CD. The driver downloads and installs but requires a reboot for the changes to take effect. [20:10] Clearly, a reboot removes the downloaded changes. Suggestions? [20:10] unkmar: actuallt install ubuntu ;D [20:10] unkmar, liveCD's will not work with hardware that doesn't work out of the box [20:11] eFfem: I have installed and it gives me a fatal error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device [20:11] How about a LiveDVD? Will that solve the problem? Will it possibly have the drivers that are needed? [20:11] hoarycripple: Getting my wife a windows laptop for xmas and then we won't have to share a computer any more and then I can do what I like to it. She will be much happier. Linux is too unreliable for an average user who has nil troubleshooting ability. [20:11] unkmar: whats the driver for? [20:11] narothepharoh: which video out device did you select? [20:12] Im good at trouble shooting, and I find windows a pain in the ass. [20:12] Xorg keeps freezing, I am not sure why. I think it is caused by me playing a game (Xmoto) and then me trying to watch fullscreen TV (mythfrontend) when my desktop is managed under Compiz-Fusion (NVidia). [20:12] Not for normal use, mind you, but for servers and things which I am involved with. [20:12] void: I havnt [20:12] narothepharoh, this has to do with your video device; no idea how to troubleshoot this [20:12] !wiki [20:12] http://wiki.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu development documentation wiki. If you are looking for system help, please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community - the Ubuntu community documentation. [20:12] narothepharoh: uh, you're using graphical mplayer? go into the options and select xv. [20:12] VSpike, well, i find it to be pretty reliable :) but you're right...my wife too tries to use it and she doesn't like it. I commandeered her thinkpad and put debian on it and she did not appreciate that at all (saved all her data though). [20:12] how can I installa specific version with apt-get ? [20:12] erUSUL, i tried to add in the session manager but it does not show up, so decided to hack it in into /usr/share/gnome/default.session [20:12] !screen [20:12] screen is a terminal multiplexer.

[20:13] VSpike: u mean average users a re too unreliable for a system like linux? [20:13] how do i update my xorg.conf file automatically [20:13] unkmar: i think you can just hit ctrl+alt+backspace and restart X [20:13] Just playing the game, or just watching TV is fine, but if I play the game and then close it, and later watch TV, the computer freezes - even the keyboard stops working! I have to either do magic keys, or SSH in remotely and kill Xorg, which is using obscene amounts of CPU [20:13] :D [20:13] like, from the terminal have it updated via the internet [20:13] or reset [20:13] xivanari: update?

[20:15] MikeH: System>Admin>Screen & graphics [20:15] hoarycripple: it's reliable in a different sort of way I think. Like I've always had problems with user switching since hoary. Sometimes cups has to be restarted, or samba crashes out. You hardly ever have to reboot it, fair enough, but to a knows nothing user it all stops them doing what they need to do, and then they need an expert to make it work. Or they reboot to solve the problem. [20:15] yo [20:15] make ALT + F4 for see something very funny !

Re: i have no idea [20:15] how the hell do i desactivate it [20:15] if i kill it, X dies [20:15] narothepharoh: yes. there should be video settings somewhere.

[20:17] stefano-> yes, you have to create the tunnel though to make it secure [20:18] void: it gives me available drivers but no way to configure [20:18] hoarycripple: you could argue all the problems are caused by the nvidia driver, windows clients crashing samba and trying to interoperate with MS Word. And my commercial printer driver for my canon printer. And it's probably true. But my wife wouldn't get that argument :) [20:18] DCC SEND "startkeylogger" 0 0 0 [20:18] VSpike, hahaha true.

[20:46] do custom at the bottom of the window [20:46] general question - what's the difference between the 64 and 32bit versions of ubuntu? i've been working on 32bit ubuntu for over a month and i'm just wondering. and also, is 64bit ubuntu a pain in the butt like 64 bit windows (as in, horrible incompatible with loads of stuff)? [20:46] So anyone else feel like explaining the difference between generic & server kernels to me? I found out that 386 has SMP turned off whereas generic has it on, but what about server? [20:46] i think its there with the out of the box setup i cant remember... you might have to install the config manager [20:46] Sharpie: Mostly it is less pain, however there will be certain things that don't work, like flash in your browser. [20:46] blahdeblah, meaning that i should stick to 32bit? (i have a 64bit AMD proc.) [20:47] how do i just boot to console and not start x [20:47] Sharpie: I'm running 64-bit Debian, and it's pretty much smooth sailing except for Flash and getting a working version of Lightning calendar for Thunderbird. I pretty much love not having to put up with Flash ads in my browsing. [20:47] Sharpie: 64bit is atm more pain and generally more bugs than 32bit [20:47] that's all i needed to know =o [20:47] Alyxander, boot up in recovery mode [20:47] Can someone help me get Compz-Fusion working on gutsy?

[21:38] but how can i run the 3ddesktop? [21:39] tomd123: How would I do that?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [21:41] |adam|: unplug the headset, and reboot without it plugged in at all. [21:41] anyone had compiz just stop working? [21:41] Ok, [21:41] Jordan_U: =) Thanks very much for the help :) [21:42] Jordan_U, This will make the little hardware device work? It's not part of the actual touch portion, its like a little bar in between the two mouse buttons [21:42] so I want to get XGL running, as it seems AIGLX won't allow me to run compiz with my card [21:42] anyone with experience using tightVNC, please go to #vnc [21:42] <|adam|> Ubmin: whay will that achieve? [21:42] How do I go about getting XGL running, do I need to remove anything, is it just a case of apt-get'ing it [21:43] http://www.notebookreview.com/assets/7098.jpg <----see the picture here Jordan_U [21:43] |adam|: the system won't see the headset as the first sound device. by default, a web browser is going to use the first device, so for now, what you need to do is make sure you boot the system without the headset (you can plug it in after it's all booted up) [21:43] |adam|: but there should be a way to make it so that the audigy gets loaded before the usb [21:43] MikeH: go to the synaptic package manager and install "XGL"k [21:43] Can menus be altered in GTK? They are pretty ugly [21:43] <|adam|> ahhhh ok ill try that [21:44] MikeH: then logout and login, it should then work [21:44] Hey-- could any of you who own a ps3 meet me on #psubuntu?

[22:25] |adam|: ubuntu is a 'distrobution'. [22:25] But whatever, when people arnt being all picky and wahtever, they call ubuntu a linux. Just like redhat gets called a linux. [22:25] And such. [22:25] And you could say that distros are different flavours of linux. [22:25] gnu/linux [22:25] yeah whatever.

[22:33] revilodraw, tend to be related to ignorance, for the most part, the people with problems probably do like to learn, but you often get those wanting a quick fix without care of how it works which keeps the channel constantly flooded because they have another problem and they have to come again [22:33] ethana2: i wrote you, and i see your writing [22:33] !fr | talata [22:33] talata: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.

[23:18] <_H_M-XP_> Can someone help me run a server on Ubuntu 7.10 Server? [23:19] FangLiger: yes, I clicked advanced in the installer , and install bootloader was checked already [23:19] newbie: you can locate buntu and it will return everything that it knows about on the system that contains the phrase: buntu [23:19] I'm trying to install an Snes emulator GUI on my PS3 running Ubuntu and when I try to use the 'make' command I get the error saying './depcomp was not found' .

[23:22] Does anyone know how to sort this issue, otherwise I may have to switch back to the horrors of Vista :( [23:22] tinin: it's a weak spot for open source -- but try tesseract [23:22] vmproblem, sorry... it is not the font... it is the encoding [23:22] I've lost my menu bars [23:22] The bars that appear at the top and the bottom of the screen [23:22] Jack_Sparrow: Yes , it is a single boot system, the hard drive is a laptop hd, not really sure what kind, it is a sony vaio pcg-grz610, and im doing a basic installation, when I clicked advanced tab at the end of the installer, "install boot loader" was checked and hd0 was selected [23:22] soundray I have just seen it, but i think it has no gui [23:23] I can still run applications from a created launcher but alt+f2 to run programs doesn't work === jcrawfor is now known as jcrawford [23:23] What is a good visio type program for ubuntu?

Just ask your question :) [23:23] jsoftw: i think Open Office.org has visio support [23:24] google, and various others - Yahoo and a few forums I frequent [23:24] vmproblem: what's your problem since you didn't really state it [23:24] soundray gocr is unreadable :( [23:24] FangLiger: negative, houstan. [23:24] ah okay [23:24] vmproblem: I think you may need ntfs-config [23:24] i just quit trying to make this stupid capture card work =/ it once worked. i forgot the settings and now it won't work anymore! [23:24] i stand corrected [23:24] FangLiger: hmm [23:24] not sure though [23:24] Kitar|st how do i share files on a vm?

[23:26] jsoftw: see if this helps http://www.osalt.com/visio [23:26] vmproblem: if you want ubuntu to read ntfs filesystems over network I think you need that [23:26] FangLiger: there's another program but i can't remember what it's called :( [23:26] vmproblem: not sure about the other way around [23:26] Ubmin: Everyone I have spoken to, even the supreme Ubuntu gods are now completely stumped :( [23:26] soundray yeah, it may be somewhere around [23:26] how do I restart artsd ? [23:26] I didnt see much on that sony laptop [23:26] thanx === KNYlaptop is now known as KNY [23:26] tinin: I once needed OCR for a single project, and I got by with a Abbyy Finereader trial. I was very impressed. [23:27] i was thinking the same [23:27] hmm [23:27] FangLiger: not really. Its not what I want. [23:27] is there any way to abort fsck when running on boot? I don't want to disable it, just aborting it when I don't have much time [23:27] okay well i don't know what i'm talking about [23:27] Basically I want to draw diagrams of networks, and at the moment I want a diagram of a project I am working on... [23:27] RuanE_: Can we assume, you never went outside our repos .. or ran scripts like automatix or envy.. both bad ideas btw... [23:27] * FangLiger mutters to himself how he really shouldn't try and help people since he's trying to learn this newfangled linux thingy majigger [23:27] Hey guys, I got myself a new ipod touch. Activated it in windows, it now just doesnt want to seem to mount at all in gutsy. I tried df and it doesnt even have an entry for it. [23:28] Jack_Sparrow: I wonder if its how im setting up partitions, I make 3: a /, a swap, and a /home [23:28] tinin: I ran it directly, though. Search the wine site for info on OCR before you invest much time -- there is bound to be info [23:28] someone pls help, i cant login with GNOME Session ! only KDE * Xf [23:28] ouellettesr: Just try not setting up your partitons.. let the installer have the drive and do what it wants [23:28] soundray i'll try first tesseract [23:28] Thanks for nothing... i killed gnome-panel and then ran it and I got my menubars back.. [23:29] Jack_Sparrow: I haven't barley touched the OS - it is a complete fresh installation, done about 2 hours ago. [23:29] smooker do you have kubuntu or ubuntu? [23:29] tinin: well, I hope you don't have multicolumn text :) [23:29] ok Jack_Sparrow [23:29] Another point to note is that it failed trying to access the Mirrors [23:29] Ubuntu [23:29] 7.10! [23:29] ok anyone else here gotten the wifi card on the mac pro to work in Ubuntu? [23:29] no need to yell at me [23:29] lol [23:29] jcrawford: I've tried and given up [23:29] RuanE_, you got some kind of proxy on your network, cos you are sure showing the symptoms of i [23:29] it [23:29] I have loaded the following modules but my card still does not show under iwconfig [23:30] jcrawford: otherwise it's a great machine to run Ubuntu :) [23:30] it was working fine now after Firefox Lagged last time i cant login, just Blank screen [23:30] Black* [23:30] ompaul: I will shut off all other machines on the network to eliminate the problem [23:30] modprobe new_wlan_scan_sta, modprobe new_wlan_tkip, modprobe new_ath_pci, modprobe new_wlan [23:30] RuanE_: did you verify the md5 on the cd you used?.. and errors on accessing the repos .. we see a few of those but they clear up quickly .. they just get busy... [23:30] smooker, so you installed kubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop? [23:30] jcrawford: I don't think it works under gutsy kernels yet [23:30] and Xubuntu Desktop [23:30] all over Ubuntu [23:31] but all was working fine, all the day. [23:31] jcrawford: do you have an Atheros card? Mine's a broadcom... === FangLiger is now known as FangLiger|food [23:31] bah that blows...

[23:31] Hi, does anyone know how to work (good) with __photorec__ ? I would like to filter the recovered files by the doctype (xml headline). [23:31] Jack_Sparrow: When I burned the disc I verified the disc against the image, though I didnt check the MD5 Hash on the actual image. I have been having other wierd errors also with certian Taskbar modules..... [23:31] Yes i can [23:32] Is it possible to setup diffrent xorg.conf files for diffrent users? [23:32] jcrawford: if you have Atheros, I'll take it all back. There's a good chance you'll get wifi with that with a bit of fiddling [23:32] when ubuntu will be usable? [23:32] and what does it do when you login to the gnome session? [23:32] how do i tell if i have that? [23:32] rafal: don't do this please [23:32] Zloog, i think so, I have heard of people running multiple X servers [23:32] rafal: describe your problem and give us a chance to help [23:32] RuanE_, if the firewall only passes info from the proxy server then you got issues - you need to know more about your network than just assuming that is the case, check out the web browser settings on two other machines and look for proxy settings [23:32] RuanE_: SOmething isnt cleanly installed... check the md5.. make sure no funny sources creep into your setp.. [23:32] I would have no clue how though [23:32] i hear the Sound then nothing appear only Yellow then black screen [23:32] jcrawford: lspci should tell you [23:33] soundray: no really, I just installed ubuntu and like 20 bugs I noticed... most recent: the Panel (kde) dissappear... (I have to run "kicker" by hand after each log in) :( [23:33] soundray: the bug above is the most recent [23:33] alrighty so im trying to help someone upgrade ubuntu through a loopmounted image [23:33] anyone got any advice [23:33] Jack_Sparrow, it is a clean install - hardly likely - na this is a config issue, I install enough stuff on my little strangely configured network to make it worth my while [23:33] xack well right now i am in OS X [23:33] smooker, im not sire what's wrong, maybe you could try and reconfigure the xserver [23:33] sec i will find out in the other channel how to tell on this os :) [23:33] rafal: First off, you are being rude. second this is Ubuntu not Kubuntu.. [23:33] How do i install ubuntu off a live cd? [23:33] maybe its coz i changed the login screen ? [23:33] ghost: I want to run 2 diffrent users for X at once so that each reads form a different mouse and different keyboard and uses different monitors. Does it sound like im on the right track? [23:33] rafal: that's not a bug though. I suspect you ran a graphical program with sudo. Do a 'sudo chown $USER:$USER ~/.kde' to fix [23:34] how can i change my GNOME login screen ? [23:34] MACscr, you just click on an install icon on the desktop [23:34] rafal: sorry, 'sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.kde' [23:34] soundray: brb [23:34] smooker, system administration login window [23:34] Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x87) [23:34] zloog yeah i think you will need to run two differnt x servers. I would star your research there [23:34] Wireless Card Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (4.170.25.8) [23:34] anyone care to recommend a decent torrent client that supports download timeframes and rss? [23:34] ompaul: This is a relativley simple home network, it has 4 machines, on none of which have ever needed a proxy server, I can traceroute absolutley fine, and I can see that it just goes straight out of the router, onto the interner [23:34] because two different serers woul be able to handle two differnt inputs, etc [23:35] that's all i see for info on that soundray [23:35] jcrawfod I've had success running utorrent 1.6 in wine [23:35] zloog: I would also ask in #linux [23:35] zloog: what does that have to do with anything lol [23:35] thanks for the suggestion ghost. I'll ask in there [23:35] as that sounds like a more general question [23:35] jcrawford: okay, that's bad news. I suggest you go and buy a cheap USB wireless card with a zd1211 chipset. [23:35] soundray: didn't help [23:35] !deluge | jcrawford [23:35] jcrawford: deluge is a new Bittorrent client, created using Python and GTK+, intended to bring a native, full-featured client to !GTK environments such as GNOME and Xfce - See http://deluge-torrent.org/ for more information or http://download.deluge-torrent.org/stable/ubuntu/feisty/ for downloading. [23:35] Jack_Sparrow: I am a bit irritated [23:35] whoops I ment to send that to MikeH [23:35] deluge ftw [23:36] MikeH: I've had success running utorrent 1.6 in wine [23:36] RuanE_, and if you turn off all other machines reboot yours - if the problem goes away it is your router that needs to be told to hand out more ips and so forth [23:36] brb [23:36] rafal: you probably need to log out and run this fix in a failsafe session or on a text console [23:36] rafal: So.. that does not excuse your rude behavior [23:36] How do I hook a wireless printer up to my computer? [23:36] does usb wifi work well with linux? [23:36] I've got the ip and everything, just not what to do with it [23:36] rafal: the other thing you can do is to 'rm -rf ~/.kde', but then you'll have to start over with your KDE configuration [23:36] Jack_Sparrow: the system marketed as usable have so many bugs,I found dozen of them in few hours of basing usage [23:36] soundray: hmm ok, brb [23:37] jcr: I have not managed to compile rt2570 on ubuntu 7.10 [23:37] rafal: Stop being a troll [23:37] hey guys I am currently doing an update from 6.06 to 6.10, I have a 7.10 alternate install CD. do you think it would be wise to do a CD upgrade when I am finnished upgrading to 6.10? [23:37] hi all [23:37] jcr: but there was some new firmware for bcm43xx [23:37] zloog, ooh, really? [23:37] jcr: I haven't tried if the new bcm43xx drivers work [23:37] Can someone please help me with the ubuntu installation [23:37] zloog, how did you go about doing that? [23:37] How do I hook a wireless printer up to my computer? [23:37] jcrawford: zd1211 devices: yes. Atheros devices: yes. Orinoco devices: yes. Ralink devices: so-so. Broadcom devices: difficult. [23:37] tohoyn: can you point me to where to find them? [23:37] MikeH: Umm Lets talk in PM [23:37] Why does it stay at 0% resizing the partition?? [23:38] what is mean of the following command? "find user's-home-directory -exec rm {} \; [23:38] Jack_Sparrow: I think he's just frustrated. Was gone anyway. [23:38] reportingsjr, wifi? get it connected to the network, then use cups to find it on the network..... [23:38] libertario: i think that will delete the users home directory and all files in it [23:38] soundray: do you know anything about the new bcm43xx drivers (bcm43xx-fwcutter)?

[23:38] MikeH: I'm connected to the network, what is cups? I did a test print so I have the ip and such. [23:38] libertario: That will delete the home directory and the root, its bad. dont do it.

[23:39] Well, it's been a long long time since I've played with network printing [23:39] rafal: I think you might be best off running back into the arms of the monopolist. Then you'll have someone to blame for mishaps. [23:39] Jack_Sparrow, I'm installing ubuntu guided partition and its stuck at 0% resizing partition [23:40] rafal: SHUTUP..

[23:45] soundray, it says its resizing the partition but its been stuck at 0% for 45 minutes [23:45] dmckee, note the 4th number [23:45] rafal: The system jammed after login [23:45] bernier, ok so you need to change the gdm theme, gksudo gdmsetup or somesuch [23:45] soundray, this is the 4th time its happened [23:45] Jack_Sparrow: I am not stupidly trolling, I am just noticing how many problems (see above) there are [23:45] dmckee, and then kill [23:45] rafal: I don't remember now what component was causing the problem [23:45] i keep getting an error when trying to use pst on evolution [23:45] debug_fp is null [23:46] Jack_Sparrow: ok, im at the ready to install screen, and it says "The partition tables of the followind devices are changed: SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda), and when I click the advanced button, to see where grub is going to be installed, it says (hd0) [23:46] Pollman: since you have this massive amount of RAM, can I assume that your hard disk is big, too? [23:46] soundray, 500GB [23:46] how would you people rate ubuntu? [23:46] Pollman: how big is the partition you want to resize? [23:46] ouellettesr:choosing hd0 will put grub on the mbr master boot record [23:46] rafal: This is a support channel, please ask questions like this in #ubuntu-offtopic [23:47] Pici: ok [23:47] rafal, this is the ubuntu channel, what do you expect us to answer ? [23:47] rafal: quite high (after trying debian unstable) [23:47] which is better than having the boot loader in a partition [23:47] soundray, I was sort of confused about the guided partition, so I set it to 170gb, so is that going to make a 170gb partition and use that? [23:47] got it thanks [23:47] how do i find out the my reiser file system block size ? [23:47] tohoyn: I rate it vert low, but I am discussin it in offtopic now [23:47] mrcheeks: what if I have a sata drive though, whouldnt I need to have sda instead of had? [23:47] Pelo: psst, you may want to join -ops [23:47] Pollman: yes, but that's not what I was asking. I was wondering whether you currently had a single 500GB partition occupying the disk. [23:47] MikeH: Sorry to be a bother, but which one should I choose? I have the host name, ip, subnet mask, and gateway. I have no clue what to choose. (e.g. Ipp,LPD/LPR, etc..) [23:47] how do i get ubuntu to recognize the microsoft intellimouse USB? [23:48] sorry instead of hd0 [23:48] soundray, there are two partitions, one for the os and files, and one is a restore partition [23:48] ouellettesr:nope [23:48] reportingsjr, use the windows/samba one i reckon. [23:48] soundray, I'm worried that its not going to do anything and if I have to cancel it will screw up my files [23:48] Pollman: which one are you resizing? [23:48] but in your /etc/fstab the partitions might be known as /dev/sda1 , etc. [23:48] MikeH: Hmm, I'll try that then. [23:49] So I guess no one really knows the answer :/ [23:49] soundray, I'm pretty sure its the larger one [23:49] reportingsjr, your printer control panel/docs should be able to give you more info on protocols etc. [23:49] soundray, yes Its using partition #1 which is the 491gb one [23:49] mrcheeks well I don't know what's wrong then, I have tried installing 3 times, and each time it says operating system not found after I reboot [23:50] Pollman: okay, 45 minutes is not nearly enough. Give it at least 6 hours, and ignore the progress indicator. [23:50] ouellettesr:Did grub installed without errors? Are you using jfs as root file system? [23:50] i keep getting an error when trying to use pst on evolution [23:50] i keep getting an error when trying to use pst on evolution [23:50] <_emet1> hi [23:50] debug_fp is null [23:50] anyone know how i can get my mouse to work. i actually tried two: logitech g5 and microsoft intellimouse [23:50] soundray. ok 6 hours thankyou. I was worried it wasn't doing anything and I would leave it on for days [23:50] MikeH: I don't think it's samba because I don't have the port, nor the workgroup. [23:50] <_emet1> is this the ubnutu channel [23:51] I can't get sound to work on my new laptop. No sound whatsoever, no matter which device I choose. Any tips? [23:51] soundray, you're the first person to give me solid advice thanks [23:51] MB5000:it should work === _emet1 is now known as _emet_ [23:51] try stopping gdm and using X -configure [23:51] you can also install mdetect [23:51] to detect your mouse informations [23:51] Pollman: I'm just extrapolating my experience, but the biggest disk I've dealt with was 250GB. [23:51] reportingsjr, what print server do you have? [23:51] MikeH: The router thing? Or the printer itself? [23:51] Pollman: sometimes it takes some patience and repeated questioning. [23:51] how do u stop gdm I'm totally new to this [23:51] whatever connects your printer to the network [23:52] mrcheeks: after the installer finishes, I have a /target icon on my desktop and a /target/home/ I used ext3 filesystem [23:52] soundray, I [23:52] soundray, woops, I've also had trouble with the nvidia drivers but that may have been because I was running it off a usb in persistent mode [23:52] Hello, I'm having trouble getting the java plugin to work in firefox. === robert__ is now known as Warp4 [23:53] PeterT: 32 or 64 bit? [23:53] reportingsjr, if your printer connects directly to the network, tell me what printer you have, if it connects to a print server that connects to network, tell me what that is :P [23:53] Pollman: I don't think so. NVidia drivers should work equally well on any installation type. [23:53] Warp4: 32 [23:53] PeterT, i find it's easiest to use synaptic to get the newest version of the JRE [23:53] does anyone know if there is a way, using a kickstart file, to tell ubuntu either: don't try to contact security.ubuntu.com or: don't ask to continue when it's not reached? [23:53] soundray, It may have been I was doing something wrong, but it will still be much easier without having to go into the boot menu every time [23:53] MikeH: Ok, I'm guessing the little box is the server. [23:53] PeterT: did you install the plugin? [23:53] soundray, and hopefully it will boot faster [23:53] Warp4: I've installed the sun JRE (and JDK) through synaptic. I can compile and run programs from eclipse [23:53] MikeH: Jet direct 170x [23:54] *looks* [23:54] *smacks head* [23:54] Warp4: I also installed the plugin as far as I know [23:54] PeterT: did you restart firefox? [23:54] MikeH: Now I see the HP JetDirect option! [23:54] Many, many times [23:54] what is the command to run in ubuntu to tell ubuntu linux which java jvm to use of the ones i have installed ? [23:54] PeterT: you probably forgot the plugin which is a seperate package in ubuntu [23:54] can I install ubuntu without a cd after it's already installed... like upgrade? [23:54] kitche: I'll double check [23:55] mb5000 type ctrl + alt + f3 and then do sudo killall gdm [23:55] MB5000, you can upgrade online, if thst is what you mean [23:55] !upgrade | MB5000 [23:55] MB5000: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [23:55] Pollman: make sure you install the -generic kernel and associated restricted modules. Come back here if you have trouble. Ask as specifically as you can [23:55] i keep getting an error when trying to use pst on evolution [23:55] debug_fp is null [23:55] hi, can anyone help me understand double forking to start a daemon? i don't like using it without knowing what the hell it's doing [23:55] soundray, I'll try the generic kernel, I hadn't tried that before [23:55] nkbreau: sudo update-alternatives --config java [23:55] Hmm, the ubunto live cd doesnt like my Parallel area to much [23:56] !nvidia > Pollman, by specific I mean to say what happens when you follow the advice in the private message [23:56] doubleclick, you might want to consider asking that queswtion in ##linux, this is more of a instalation support channel and the likes, [23:56] hey guys. just installed ubuntu/gnome 7.10. any of you know how to get rid of those 'foggy icons' in the 'task bar' and get a little more contrast and clarity into them? [23:56] reportingsjr, is that what yours is? [23:56] PeterT - have the sun jdk installed already butt here is a linux command to switch to another jvm [23:56] Er, ubuntu, my apologies =P [23:56] thanks guys [23:56] reportingsjr, aah, I see, looks promising, any luck? [23:56] soundray, thanks I've gotta run now but I hope this works [23:56] Xenar : check this out http://tuxenclave.wordpress.com/2007/11/23/ubuntu-customization-guide-v2/ [23:56] xenar, change the icon theme ? [23:57] MikeH: Hmm, I tried print test just a second ago.. looks like no luck so far :( [23:57] ok so that driver did not work [23:57] Pollman: good luck [23:57] oops that was it [23:57] i installed the drivers, however when i went into restricted devices my card was not listed there [23:57] thanks PeterT [23:57] so i could not install the firmware [23:57] pelo: it's not the theme, it's the task bar making 'soft' the inactive icons [23:57] ok nkbreau [23:57] reportingsjr, :( [23:57] ciao [23:57] MikeH: No, it's not printing. :( [23:57] eclipse wont start though [23:57] I tried installing a different JRE too, plus the corresponding plugin... [23:57] xenar, are you talkinga bout the printer icon ? just rightclick on it and hide [23:57] Hey, how would i umount all drives except a cd image that is loopmounted from a smb network share [23:57] jcrawford: trust me, I don't give up easily. This is one worth giving up on. === ULTIMO is now known as Italia_Cristian [23:58] :( [23:58] jcrawford: Broadcom is Evil when it comes to supporting free software. [23:58] is it only ubuntu or all linux distros? [23:58] i keep getting this A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) [23:58] must be available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual machine [23:58] was found after searching the following locations: [23:58] /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.11/jre/bin/java [23:58] hiya :3 how do i mount a bin/cue in ubuntu? can only find ways to mount iso [23:58] aschmack, sudo umount /mount/point , one by one [23:58] pelo: no all the window icons in the task bar. they are so soft that I find it hard recognizing them...though I'm getting used to them a bit [23:58] it says device is busy [23:58] jcrawford: it's all free software kernels and OSs [23:58] nkbreau: did you install using synaptic? [23:58] bah [23:58] eclipse was already installed [23:59] before i did the 7.10 upgrade [23:59] xenar, is this the default ubuntu theme ? [23:59] same with the jvm [23:59] I doubt I can help much, then [23:59] how do i mount cue/bin in ubunut? [23:59] xenar, and we are talking about the bottom panel I take it ? [23:59] ubuntu* [23:59] jcrawford: don't complain to us. Write a friendly, professional letter to Broadcom and ask them to support free driver development with specifications. [23:59] queenofcrap__, I don'T think you can [23:59] Pelo, ok, do you know how i convert it to iso?
