Yes, bottom panel [00:00] soundray: yea i know it's not the community rather broadcom [00:00] nkbreau: I just did a fresh install and it works ok. Perhaps try removing and reinstalling eclipse? I don't know how many addons etc you had... [00:00] soundray, ty ty [00:00] !info bchunk | queenofcrap__ [00:00] queenofcrap__: bchunk: CD image format conversion from bin/cue to iso/cdr. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.0-6 (gutsy), package size 13 kB, installed size 68 kB [00:00] queenofcrap__, check in the forum or on google but I donT' think it is very reliable , burning it is probably a better option [00:00] Hello. [00:00] hmmm i just saw a lot of dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled: [00:00] This is an essential package - it should not be removed. [00:00] nick carbinemonoxide [00:00] Bah === carbine is now known as carbinemonoxide [00:01] Lovely typo. [00:01] pelo: yeah there is a bit more contrast in the default theme (human) but lots of windows are stil hard to recognize [00:01] Anyone here ever get a Segmentation Fault? [00:01] carbinemonoxide: umm all the time [00:01] pelo: for instance: gnome-terminal [00:01] pelo: as opposed to xmms [00:01] Hmm.. [00:01] xenar, are you running compiz ? [00:01] hello everyone [00:01] Know how to go about fixing the segmentation fault in stegbreak? [00:02] reportingsjr, I have you tried adding it as an IPP printer? [00:02] =P [00:02] pelo: or the Add/Remove applications window. What is compiz? [00:02] will installing ubuntu erase everything on my PC, because I kind of want to do that, lol. [00:02] how do i set java home ? [00:02] MikeH: I'm trying a few things, but I don't have all the info for it [00:02] Luis: it will give you the option [00:02] Luis: it's called something like "use entire hard disk" or similar [00:02] nice, I just want to get everything deleted, I already have the things I want backed up so everything else doesn't matter [00:02] i cant seem to find bchung =( [00:02] xenar, compiz = desktop effects, , can you take a screenshot of your desktop ? and upload it somewhere so we can see what you are talking about, cause in my comp , those are quite clear and easy to read [00:03] and danke schon (thanks a lot in German) [00:03] queenofcrap__: sorry, bchunk [00:03] ohhh [00:03] Luis: gern geschehen [00:03] Luis: Danke schoen. xD Kidding.. [00:03] lol. [00:03] Danke haesslich. xD [00:03] Yes, no umlauts on my keyboard, grrrrr [00:03] soundray, yeah that was alot easier to find xD thank you so much for your help <3 [00:03] reportingsjr, that makes it a bit difficult :S [00:03] I know, adding e works for me though [00:03] ok, i've googled and googled. is there a command line program I can use to connect to a wireless network? i just had a situation (fixed now) where I really would have been able to use such a program. [00:04] MikeH: What does? [00:04] Luis: RightAlt-[ followed by the vowel you want to umlaut [00:04] oh crap... i just wiped our my PATH enviro var... can i roll that back somewhow ??? [00:04] what is the command to join a new server while remaining in this server as well? [00:04] reportingsjr, not knowing anything about it :P [00:04] MikeH: Well, I tried scanning the hos tname to no avail. :( [00:04] lucian iwconfig / ifconfig ? [00:04] Once you know what protocols it supports, it'd be easy. [00:04] Orion, in xchat ? just open a new server from the menu [00:04] the printer? I know. I hate being stupid/ignorant about things. [00:04] :( [00:04] Luis: RightAlt-s for the s-sharp [00:05] how can i set PATH back to the default when you first boot up [00:05] if i reboot will it fix it ??? [00:05] Agent_bob, i've been probing the man files on those but haven't come up with anything that would actually let me connect to a network [00:05] thanks pelo, just installed ubuntu for the first time, and installed xchat. Ive never used xchat before. [00:05] → [00:05] The live cd loads straight to terminal? How do i start the gui? [00:05] nkbreau: how did you set the path? [00:05] ↑ [00:05] My sound doesn't work, and it seems there is no ALSA driver for my sound card. It is an Intel ICH8 family card, and there seem to be driver only forthe ICH6 and ICH7 families... what can I do? [00:05] PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java i did that by mistake wihtout including rest of path [00:05] :O danke schön soundray. [00:06] MACscr, normally the live cd loads to the gui. You just did the default boot? [00:06] yep [00:06] MACscr: it shouldn't normally. Try Safe Graphics mode [00:06] MACscr, if so, there might not be support for your video on the live cd [00:06] Anyone know of a torrent client that supports download time frames and RSS? [00:06] also, this happened last time when I installed ubuntu, but what is wrong with the font on firefox >_ Orion, did you install xchat or are you using xchat-gnome that installs with the defaults ? ifyouare using xchat-gnome I strongly recommend you try xchat regular instead [00:06] soundray, if i reboot will i get the path back i had when i booted up ? [00:06] MikeH, download timeframe , you mean schedular ? [00:06] My ATI 880XL? Thats odd [00:06] nkbreau: that depends entirely on how you changed it in the first place. [00:06] command line [00:06] Luis: Do you actually.. know german? or do you just know basic things? (Just wondering! I only know the basics though.) [00:06] Pelo, I am using xchat-gnome. I didnt see regular xchat in the list, how do I access it? [00:07] MikeH, as in do not dl betwenn 8h and 10h ? [00:07] didnt change any files [00:07] any known issues with parallels workstation 2.2 and ubuntu 7.10? [00:07] just typed PATH=... [00:07] Mein Deutsch ist nicht so gut. [00:07] its not working for me. [00:07] nkbreau: just log out and in again to change it back then [00:07] thanks [00:07] Orion, open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install xchat , it will remove xchat-gnome as well [00:07] Pelo, Yes. My ISP gives a larger download quota offpeak. [00:07] why is it that i can ssh into a computer via terminal however when i try using "Places/Connect to server..." it keeps asking me for the password over and over again [00:07] thanks pelo [00:07] htmldotcom: me neither. I switched to VMWare Fusion, which is fine. [00:07] Luis: Ok, cause you just said Thank you beautiful Soundray (sorry for the highlight!) :p [00:07] Is there a way to run SoX in batch mode (as in, convert a file full of a lossy format to wav)? [00:07] MikeH, I like utorrent running on wine , but I think you can get all you want from deluge-torrent with some pluggins [00:08] MikeH, if you prefer native [00:08] Pelo, I tried utorrent, but the main status window stays black. === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [00:08] I'd prefer something native tbh, if it can do what I want. [00:08] it's so messed up, I don't remember how to fix it, verdammt! The font on firefox :S [00:08] recon, have you looked at soundconverter [00:08] Pelo: ? [00:09] MikeH, wine has much improved over the last few releases, you might want to look into it [00:09] Pelo: i'll give it a shot. [00:09] Luis: install firefox-gnome-support [00:09] can some of you guys tell me what you are using for codecs (like mp3 and stuff)? like, are you using ubuntu-restricted-extras? [00:09] recon, gui app for converteing between sound file formats, does batch work [00:09] Pelo, I've only just this second tried it :P [00:09] Pelo: gui? eww. but i'll use it anyway, as i need the batch. [00:09] Luis: and no Kraftausdrücke here, please :) [00:09] thanks soundray, I am off to install ubuntu on my comp. now (am running it from the cd right now) [00:09] ohh sorry about that, lol. [00:10] Anyone available to help me out in installing ubuntu? [00:10] Pelo: actually, i just did "sox *.mp3 *.wav". it worked. [00:10] MikeH, very odd about the status windows, mine works perfectly but I suggest you try deluge-torrent then , there is a package in the repos, you can get the plugins from their website [00:10] Method: insert CD. click. done. [00:10] Luis: we have this time again an aftersee. [00:10] ha [00:10] pelo, now on xchat thanks [00:10] soundray: whats the difference between vmware fusion and workstation? [00:10] Orion, welcome to the bigish leagues [00:10] Recon, I realize it's easy when using the entire drive, I've done this before, but I'm trying to dual boot with a drive that has windows on it. [00:11] lol [00:11] htmldotcom: Fusion is for Mac OS X [00:11] Method: as did I. it'll auto set up grub to dual boot. [00:11] ah, ok [00:11] thx [00:11] Hrm, I didn't think of Azureus Pelo [00:11] Method: just tell it to use 1. the free space on a drive, or 2. the second drive you're using. [00:11] What's that like these days? [00:11] Well lemme explain then. [00:11] MikeH, I try to forget azureus as much as possible, but I still have nightmares [00:11] Method, even the dual boot is fairly easy [00:12] MikeH, Still bloated, but otherwise good [00:12] I'm on the partition manager, after selecting the keyboard layout, my only option that suits what I'm trying to do is Manual. So I choose that... [00:12] Now [00:12] Pelo, I used it for a long time under windows no problems, just liked utorrent more, whats your jibe with it? [00:12] Jordan_U, That's cause some wanker coded it in java :P [00:12] MikeH, rtorrent is nice, I have also heard good things about deluge-torrent [00:12] After that, my choices show my hard drive with windows on it, which is an 80 gig drive, and it says Free Space: 8mb [00:12] I've found out that the libjavaplugin.so symlink in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins is broken. Why would it not be inserted correctly when I installed sun-java6-jre & sun-java6-plugin? [00:12] deluge is no good. [00:12] But I know I have 30 gigs left [00:12] I imagine the gcj version of azureus is a bit better? [00:13] KTorrent is alright [00:13] Also when trying to edit the partition and make it say..25 gigs, it says it's too small [00:13] I love uTorrent so much, I use wine and uTorrent regularly on ubuntu [00:13] So then what? [00:13] Method: those 30GB are part of your 80GB partition, most likely. [00:13] is there a good scp gui for ubuntu... like winscp? [00:13] josiahw_, gftp - awesome [00:14] MikeH, bloated as heck, ridiculously over complicated and over involved configurations settings, resources ogre ( hog doesn' begin to cover it) and I spent 6 months in 2004 talking ppl throught nat configuration, I have just had enough of it , that is all [00:14] Well, what partition am I editing? The current one with windows on it, or the one about to be made? [00:14] javaJake: thank you sir [00:14] josiahw_: The gnome Places menu can easily map ssh shares (scp) [00:14] Method sudo fdisk -l [00:14] Method: if my assumption is correct, then 50GB within your Windows partition are occupied, in which case shrinking it to 25GB won't work. [00:14] No thanks agent bob [00:14] hrm [00:14] i am trying to install 7.10 on this laptophttp://www.rockdirect.com/support/prod.php?a=ajax&product_id=148&size=min .. i have used extra options acpi=off and irqpoll, but still most of the times it wont boot into live dvd environment.. anyone has any ideas on what extra kernel boot parameters may be needed? [00:14] is it safe to ctrl+c midway through an apt-get whilst it's downloading packages? [00:15] josiahw_, I do not recommend using GNOME's "Connect to Server" option, btw [00:15] Pelo: http://www.xen.dds.nl/files/images/Screenshot-crux.png [00:15] is it possible to setup an IRC bot on ubuntu? If so could someone send me a link to some documentation? I cant seem to find any. [00:15] Method suit your self. [00:15] xenar, yes [00:15] MikeH: yes [00:15] MikeH, I can give you my skining file for wine , it might solve the colour problem you were having with utorrent [00:15] pelo: http://www.xen.dds.nl/files/images/Screenshot-glider.png [00:15] xenar, in fact, it'll even start off where it stoped last [00:15] MikeH: it'll pick up where you left off. [00:15] Good evening guys! I was so surprised when I tried to install teTeX and found out that it was no more maintained and updated! Anyone knows why? [00:15] * Jordan_U consoles Pelo, Post tramatic stress syndrome is hard [00:15] Your assumtion is correct, thats about the amount Im using [00:15] xenar, hold on let me have a look [00:15] I would like your skinning file pelo [00:15] soundray, how about if I don't want it to? :P [00:15] MikeH, in fact, it'll even start off where it stoped last [00:15] But I have about 30 gigs left [00:15] Pelo, Hrm, I'm not sure that's the issue, but I'll give it a go. [00:16] Anyone that could help me help a friend install ubuntu 7.10 from inside ubuntu 6.10 using a loopmounted image of the livecd please PM me [00:16] K_Dallas: Thomas Esser, who used to maintain teTeX, has turned to other things. He recommends texlive. [00:16] Is there a way I can label a usb stick or external hard drive so they don't mount as "disk" and "disk -1"? [00:16] Jordan_U, you are not kidding me, I was a mear voice at the time and all the ops took the chrismass period off, me an another guy were doing the support in 8hrs shift [00:16] soundray, i see. i never liked much the TeXLive but it seems that i have no choice now [00:16] soundray Method told me "no thanks" but you might mention sudo fdisk -l to him anyway. [00:17] xenar, I'm not sure what the problem is, the text in the window list seems very clear to me and easy to read [00:17] Agent_bob: why should he use fdisk when he wants to resize his Windows partition? [00:17] live CD's are good for working with partitions. === _etotheip is now known as etotheipi [00:17] yes they are [00:17] K_Dallas: I didn't like it at first, but it's not that different after all [00:17] a font question: Is there a simple way to use Vista new set of fonts (the C serie) under Ubuntu? Any package for that? Thanks [00:18] soundray never mind, if neither of you know what fdisk -l does then forget i mentioned it. [00:18] hmm i found the firmware for my card but alas it doeswnt work either [00:18] pelo: it's not the text, but the icons [00:18] and it's even copyrighted by broadcom!! [00:18] lol [00:18] soundray, true, i used to use their live version on my daughter's computer and it was good but i think i am used to tetex [00:18] MikeH, htmldotcom accecpt the file and put it in /home/user/.wine then restart wine , it a good match for human and cleanlook or most clearlook based theme [00:18] how do i change the Group of an external hdd? its set to plugdev, i need it to be filloy (my user). Thank you very much! [00:18] Agent_bob: oh, I overlooked the -l -- thank you :) [00:18] K_Dallas: It'd be nice if it was possible to use those fonts, if you get an answer while I'm still here, can you let me know? [00:18] Pelo, if you're used to a bit of contrast then it becomes very annoying indeed [00:19] i installed an second ethernet card in my ubuntu machine (to use as a bridge) and it isn't recognised in ifconfig. however, it works just fine in the live cd. i'd rather not have to reinstall [00:19] PeterT, certainly [00:19] hi, does anyone know CINELERRA? [00:19] cheers Pelo [00:19] xenar, I don' thinks you can do anything about that but you can try and look in gconf-editor , under apps/gnome-panel see if there is a settig there [00:19] htmldotcom, yiou need to accept the file [00:19] i heard it a good video edititing software, but i have trying to find out how to install it and im lost due to being new to ubuntu [00:19] ok [00:20] I'm having strange problems. Various applications (Flash, VoIP phone, pidgin) try to access ALSA but fail to do so, sometimes locking up in the process. It also affects my laptop, a completely different hardware set. :P [00:20] So I assume it affects everyone. ;) [00:20] how to use qemu + kqemu in u buntu [00:20] hello, I finally fot fiesty installed on my laptop, but now, after grub loads the screen goes blank [00:20] javaJake, do you have sound in other apps ? [00:20] Pelo, probably [00:20] PeterT, here is what i just found not tested though: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/09/16/installing-vista-fonts-in-ubuntu/ [00:20] Pelo, but that has never mattered before [00:20] javaJake, can you test the other apps ? [00:20] eyemean: have a look at http://cvs.cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu [00:20] Pelo, such as? [00:20] thank you soundray [00:21] javaJake, play a music file in rythmbox for exemple or a movie in totem [00:21] thx Pelo [00:21] Pelo, it's /apps/gnome-settings/gnome-panel ;) [00:21] how can I be ubuntu devel? [00:21] xenar, you found it ? [00:21] Pelo, right now I have XChat (which can use sound), Pidgin (which is on mute), and Gizmo (which locks up on startup). [00:21] hi there, does anybody know where the jumpers go to specify whether a cd-rom is master or slave? [00:21] eyemean: if you're new, you will need a bit of guidance on how to use that information... [00:21] K_Dallas, looks promising. Thanks [00:21] rafal, look on the official site, there is a how to contribute section [00:21] PeterT, my pleasure [00:21] dav1: offtopic for here, ask in ##hardware (and probably speicific to your cdrom drive) [00:21] dav1 read the back of the drive [00:21] Pelo, but there's nothing there, only a history something [00:21] !contribute > rafal [00:21] Pelo, also, Pandora.com or MediaMaster.com (both music sites) lock up if Miro is running. :P [00:21] Pelo, totem is frozen... [00:21] javaJake, but are you getting sound out of them ? [00:21] awesome, cheers Pelo, worked a treat. [00:22] Any idea how to fix the silly small fonts etc. [00:22] Pelo, but thanks anyway. Knowing about gconf-edit is a good thing [00:22] Pelo, I just ran it and it won't unfreeze. This is just after startup [00:22] Pelo, no, they lockup just ebfore sound comes [00:22] or is that just a case of restarting x server to load windows fonts Pelo ? [00:22] Of course. [00:22] * jsoftw is bored [00:22] jsoftw, heheheh [00:22] soundray, yep ur right about that, i had a quick look and dosent resemble anything i know, lol [00:22] eyemean: do you know which one to choose -- 32 or 64bit software? [00:23] MikeH, it,s just a list of windows item with hex colors assigned, you can easyly modify it by sampling colours of a screeen shot with the gimp and using those in the files to match your own theme [00:23] soundtray, yes 32 [00:23] So, yea, all my programs cannot access ALSA for some reason. Until I reboot. Then I'm fine for a while [00:23] javaJake, I think you need to fix your sound in general and it will work in you java and viop apps, [00:23] Pelo, it's fine as it is, works well [00:23] And it affects a Dell desktop AND Compaq Laptop! [00:23] !sound | javaJake start with this [00:23] javaJake start with this: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [00:23] Whats an interesting program I can install which I can pretend will make me more productive? [00:23] hi, ine of my external hard drives (NFTS) wont hot mount but my other NFTS hard drive will, any ideas? [00:23] eyemean: okay. Go to System-Preferences-Software Sources and click the Third Party... tab [00:23] jsoftw, projects ? [00:23] does anyone know why I get a blank screen after grub loads? [00:23] Pelo, 2 questions though, how do you get over it breaking when minimised, and how do you get your browser of choice to open with utorrent by default? [00:23] jsoftw: Open Office? [00:24] Pelo: Already installed. though it does not work properly. [00:24] Pelo: whats projects? [00:24] anyone get the alps dualpoint to stop clickdragging? 40 forum posts later and i stil cant use the builtin eraserpoint on my umpc [00:24] GnuOpen Finance Management? [00:24] eyemean: then click the Add button and paste the appropriate line in the dialog, including the ./ [00:24] i tried x -configure to get my mouse to work but it didnt work [00:24] MikeH, can't open browers from ut or launch files from it , and don't minimise it , send it to the tray, just fix the settings for that in the prefs [00:25] ouellettesr: for how long? [00:25] jsoftw, I think it is called project, an office app to sechedule and keep track of long projects, check in add/remove under office [00:25] jsoftw, might be called planneer now that I think about it [00:25] soundray, well I waited about 2 minutes [00:25] soundray, done [00:26] ouellettesr: give it 5 minutes before you conclude that it has crashed [00:26] Pelo: There is one called Project Management. Helps create WBS logs. [00:26] anyone know of a good program for windows that will allow me to access my ext3 linux partition? [00:26] my first hours of using ubuntu/gnome have been very frustrating indeed. I had one eye-lid twitching for the first time in years [00:26] Pelo: there is no office catagory [00:26] hmmm i need to remake /boot/initrd.img-something-386 in a chrooted env will mounting /proc in that env mess anything up ? [00:26] soundray, and why would it take 5 mintues to load ubuntu? [00:26] xenar: It will get better [00:26] eyemean: close the dialogs, open System-Administration-Synaptic Package Manager and hit the Reload button. [00:26] getting used to it a bit though [00:26] hey guys, im considering either upgrading my laptop (1.5 celeron M 360 1mb cache) with more ram, OR buying a new laptop, any advice from hardware jedis? [00:27] xenar: That is how to do things in windows leaving your system through your eye lid. [00:27] MikeH, and for the torrents to start automaticaly when you dl then, jsut set your ff to dl torrents to the desktop automaticaly and in the utorrent prefs under other use the autolaud torrent files, and point it to your desktop, check the delete torrent instead of renaming bit [00:27] dav1, hey, are you being assisted? [00:27] nishiishii thats good stuff [00:27] ouellettesr: it doesn't normally. I would wait that long, though, before concluding that it has crashed. It's diagnostic strategy. [00:27] nishiishii, leaving your system? [00:27] no [00:27] your body, your brain [00:27] nishiishii, I'm quite used to KDE [00:27] xenar leaving your body [00:27] It was a joke. ;) [00:27] wow [00:27] dav1, say my name before you say anything. This makes your text come up in red on my end [00:27] nishiishii, yeah i don't really get it [00:27] bluevapour_ ummm avoid ati chip sets [00:27] Kernel Makefile not found at '/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/source' [00:27] chmod: cannot access `compatible/*': No such file or directory [00:27] /bin/sh: cannot create compatible/kversion: Directory nonexistent [00:27] -e [00:27] Makefile has been modified by generate_compatible, please run `make' again [00:27] Quite alright :) [00:28] !paste | kamui__ [00:28] kamui__: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [00:28] soundray, done and searched for cinelerra and found [00:28] sorry [00:28] I managed to get sound working by installing linux-backports-modules-$(uname -r), but all the sound is extremely quiet even though all the settings are set to maximum... any idea how to fix this? [00:28] bluevapour_: if the display is still good, I would upgrade. [00:28] whats missing? [00:28] javajake:cheers - sorry new to irc [00:28] jsoftw, no office categhory in add/remove, look more closely, might be called something else , what is the menu name for the submenut for the OpenOffice stuff in your applicatsion menu, should be the same thing [00:28] xenar he is saying windows is like a disease leaving your body and the side effect of it is the twitching of your eye [00:28] Display? [00:28] soundray, do i just select cinelerra? [00:28] dav1, np, you are doing great so far. :) [00:28] Orion, ah ok [00:28] the only thing i dont like is, i cant play cs 1.6 in wine without lag :S [00:28] dav1, so, open a terminal (you know, that dreaded blinking cursor ;) [00:28] cs 1.6 lags anyways [00:29] dav1, and unplug your external HD [00:29] Orion, actually windows is like a blessing compared to this, especially if you're used to it [00:29] * Pelo lost track again , this support stuff is a young man's game [00:29] I can't get steam to work at all in wine :( [00:29] Pelo, support burnout? :) [00:29] xenar, I don't consider it a blessing reinstalling every 6 months, [00:29] Orion, it's mostly the contrast... the weak user interface design in terms of information communication [00:29] hi all, my internet connection is extremely slow under 7.10 compared to windows. anyone know how to chance this so i can stop using windows altogether? [00:29] javaJake:ok [00:29] javaJake, no 6 hrs of shoveling snow [00:29] Pelo, I've been using my win98se install for years ;) [00:29] Pelo, heheheh [00:30] Pelo, quite as long as my OpenSUSE/KDE install [00:30] eyemean: I just followed the same steps and cinelerra shows in synaptic... [00:30] Pelo, and my OpenSUSE install got just as corrupted if not more so [00:30] xenar, I am very impressed with your patience and lack of catching viruses and other stuff [00:30] Pelo, the ubuntu package management is really a blessing [00:30] eyemean: hit Reload again and watch out for any errors [00:30] dav1, now, copy and paste this into a terminal without the quotes: "tail -f /var/log/syslog" (Use Ctrl+Shift+V to paste in a terminal.) [00:30] Pelo, I don't catch viruses [00:30] xenar, hear hear!

I go to System > Admi.. > Screen and Graphics, and change to Digital driver, but it doesnt works... How should I do it?

[00:33] lol, sorry about that LjL [00:33] LjL: i've got reiser and fat where the files are located [00:33] hello all, having a problem with external drives connected with USB. Is this a good place to ask? [00:33] When I saw "Flood" I thought oh no. :P [00:33] i have some probs with my soundcard [00:33] bullium: hmm - heavy channel usage at the moment, please PM. [00:33] xenar, I like to compare the experience to going to a freinds house and sitting in a chair that you discover is jsutthe most confortable ever, like it was made for you [00:33] Pelo, but I guess I'm just really demanding of my user experience [00:33] its a HDA [00:34] !intelhda | amigappc [00:34] amigappc: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [00:34] Pelo, ok...well I guess people differ ;) [00:34] does someone knows how to change analog monitor to digital one? [00:34] Pelo, but just to give you some comparison [00:34] Yay [00:34] xenar, xp basicaly set my teeth on edge from the moment I tried it , win98 wasn'T as bad, but my best windows experience wat win 3.11 [00:34] matttis: for FAT, i think you'd have better luck with some DOS floppy dedicated to undeleting, or something. for Reiser i'm not aware of anything, it would probably have the same issues as ext3 (i.e. be basically impossible) [00:34] anyone ever hear of 7.10 loading up different settings, etc. when logging in as the same user account? almost like i have used two different user ID's but i haven't. only one home dir. only one username in the passwd file [00:34] Pelo, my OpenSUSE 10.0 KDE took 15 seconds to load gEdit [00:34] IanLiu: just connect. It doesn't require any software changes. [00:34] Say... LjL, out of curiosity, what's the userlimit for anyway? [00:34] Pelo, now in Ubunto 7.10 it takes 3 seconds [00:35] Pelo, but I prefer leafpad for quick notes [00:35] I just switched my desktop over to Ubuntu 7.10 and am loving it [00:35] Pelo, leafpad is even quicker than the gnome run box! [00:35] I did it, but when I unplug the analog, the monitor shuts [00:35] xenar, you do realose that gedit is a gnome app and that you were running a kde desktop ? [00:35] javaJake: stopping attacks [00:35] xenar: care to join #ubuntu-offtopic? [00:35] hmmm getting an error from mkinitrd "/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: MODULES: Unknown value LIST" [00:35] LjL, aahhhh [00:35] Pelo, I do, but it was the same with everything else [00:35] hmm anyone else have a celeron m here? [00:35] IanLiu: you may need to reboot [00:35] LjL, smart! :) [00:35] Pelo, opera took minutes [00:35] now i got some error message [00:35] soundray, i was just wondering if i need to install anything else, buts looks like it has selected other software for it. [00:35] javaJake: sorry - just checking, the HD isnt mounted at the moment - do you want me to reboot so its mounted - then unmount and then run the command? === tb0y is now known as mazatapec [00:35] Pelo, now it takes seconds [00:36] hmm, gonna try [00:36] thanks [00:36] Pelo, win 3.11 was your best experience? [00:36] dav1, no [00:36] @soundray i got some errors ... it cant lock some dirs [00:36] Pelo, wow... I must say I never looked back after I tried win95 [00:36] eyemean: yes, ubuntu manages package dependencies for you. [00:36] xenar, I only tried open suse on live cd , I wasn'T all that impressed, and I don'T realy care for kde personnaly [00:36] dav1, did you run that command in a terminal? [00:36] I'm having a rather annoying sound problem. Sound won't play in Totem or firefox for that matter, but in vlc, the sound works just fine. [00:36] dav1, and unplug the HD? [00:36] hi all - can anyone here help me determine if my wifi card is dead or not configured? [00:37] Is there anyone who has experience with _photorec_ ? [00:37] Pelo, the biggest problem I have with linux is lack of customization :P [00:37] Pelo, like the task bar [00:37] or has anyone seen 7.10 mess up a profile? [00:37] Pelo, neither KDE nor Gnome taskbar are any good [00:37] Pelo, and you can't tweak it to your needs [00:37] xenar, I never went back from one to the one before, but looking back on it now, my best time using windows was with 3.11 , it never crashed on me, I knew where everthing was I had my autoexec and config files tweaked to perfections [00:37] xenar: What sort of tweaks are you looking for [00:37] .com [00:38] ok [00:38] Pelo, aah! that is also the feeling I get from win98 as opposed to linux. you know where everything is [00:38] javajake:yep - it returned a long list [00:38] soundray, your help has been much appreciated, your a star, would it be better if i restart ubuntu after installation? === htmldotcom` is now known as htmldotcom [00:38] dav1, ok, good, keep it running [00:38] xenar, you can try fluxbox, enlightenment, bluebox, blackbox, xcfe and a butload of other desktop managers [00:38] soundray, what do ya know it took 5 minutes for ubuntu to load.. [00:38] Flannel, right now mostly that contrast thing I was talking about [00:38] eyemean: no, in this case, it doesn't make a difference. [00:38] Pelo, yeah I know [00:38] dav1, actually, go ahead and close the terminal [00:38] Pelo, I did once but never liked it [00:38] Pelo, I might try again [00:38] anyone know what key words are acceptable in /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf for var MODULES= ? [00:38] javajake:ok [00:39] ok i just tried the BCM43xx drivers/firmware and they are not helping at all either. I cannot see my connection in network manager or wifi-radar [00:39] xenar: Contrast? That's just a theme change. [00:39] soundray, ok thanx again m8 [00:39] and iwconfig does not show it either [00:39] What's the best way to share files between linux and windows install? [00:39] Both need to be writable, and run at a decent spee [00:39] *speed [00:39] Photorec anyone ? [00:39] MikeH: Samba Shares! [00:39] !samba | MikeH [00:39] MikeH: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT [00:39] Flannel, well the themes supplied with base ubuntu install don't provide any relief [00:39] bah [00:39] no [00:39] dav1, then plug in your HD. You'll want to copy the /var/log/syslog file to your Desktop. If you want to use a terminal, run "cp /var/log/syslog ~/Desktop" [00:39] xenar: do you have a support channel question? [00:39] dual-boot [00:39] MikeH, how about a FAT32 partition [00:39] Flannel, he means the icons in the windows list going dim for inactive apps [00:39] ouellettesr: so you've excluded major incompatibilities and crashes. Now you can debug the delay problem. Did you observe which stage took all this time? [00:39] ugg my mouse still will not work [00:39] guess i am going to sell this system and build a pc based system [00:39] bazhang_, euhm... do I? ;) [00:40] soundray: are you still aorund, would like some suggestions on usb wifi cards you were talking about earlier [00:40] !ntfs | MikeH [00:40] MikeH: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [00:40] xenar: if not, you might try ##windows [00:40] MB5000, usb mouse ? look up the model in www.ubuntuforums.org and in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [00:40] KaiForce, has FAT32 support improved at all? [00:40] jcrawford: don't sell your Mac Pro. It's a *lovely* machine to run Ubuntu on. [00:40] does anyone know what key words are acceptable in /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf for var MODULES= ? [00:40] pelo yes usb [00:40] KaiForce, what I meant was, performance, not support [00:40] bazhang_, my current question is about contrast in the taskbar icons for windows that are not active [00:40] javajake:ok - done that - now have file on my desktop [00:40] soundray: not without wifi lol [00:40] jcrawford: if you can afford it, buy a few different ones. The cheaper the better. [00:41] in Linux? I know it works, my laptop is setup that way Ubuntu/XP. I don't know about performance, it seems just fine. [00:41] IdleOne, what's the performance like on write access to NTFS partitions? [00:41] jcrawford: (zd1211 devices tend to be the cheapest) [00:41] Any ideas for sound not working in totem or miro? They do work in vlc. And amarok hangs on load. Maybe an alsa problem? [00:41] xenar: if you are not getting a response, you might try ubuntuforums.org === Alyxander|away is now known as Alyxander [00:41] MikeH: no issues here [00:41] dav1, perfect. Now, put the contents of that file in pastebin.ca (website) [00:41] haha IdleOne i used to use the nickname idle0ne [00:41] dav1, and give me the link it creates [00:41] think i still have it registered here too [00:41] hey does anyone know the correct spelling of cinerella the movie making software [00:41] can anyone help me get ubuntu to "see" my wifi card? [00:41] bazhang_, aye, I got a response but the gnome panel seems to be the summon of non-customizability [00:42] xenar, you might also want to go to the gnome website and check out their forum for some info on this [00:42] Please help me, i need to change the group ownership from plugdev to my user, its an external hdd; it seems that chgrp -R dosnt work (operation not permitted). Thank you very much!

[00:43] xenar, ask away [00:43] KaiForce: if not the root, then who can do that?...its group is plugdev [00:43] i used that bnick about 3-4 years ago bacause i was always idling ;) [00:43] Pelo, I just cannot for the life of me get the file browser to open an m3u file in xmms after I double click it, when I've made xmms the default application [00:43] anyone know a good place to get warez [00:43] soundray: http://www.staples.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StaplesProductDisplay?&langId=-1&storeId=10001&catalogId=10051&productId=157207&cmArea=SEARCH [00:43] filloy see message from Agent_bob [00:43] !piracy | Robotchicken1886 [00:43] Robotchicken1886: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels.

Check 'gksudo synaptic' ;) [00:44] jcrawford: I can't use that link [00:44] Agent_bob: ohh, sorry...i tried with chgrp...just a sec [00:44] dav1, yes, if you don't mind [00:44] dav1, last 20-30 lines [00:44] exit [00:45] Pelo, or with any program, for that matter [00:45] LjL: just checkin [00:45] soundray: :( [00:45] etank: try #ubuntu-bots [00:45] samurailink3: :) hehe [00:45] k [00:45] Pelo, I think it has to do with the "do you want to automatically open text files with the default program" option [00:45] javajake:http://pastebin.ca/805063 [00:45] xenar, firstly can you actualy play m3u files ? I thought those were playlist ? and it is possible it wont, open it from nautilus properly it need to be opened from the app, I get that wiht mp3 in rhythmbox, I think it has to do with the fact taht those are propriatary [00:45] Agent_bob: ok, i tried with chown and alsa Opeartion not permitted :( [00:45] it's a LINKSYS WIRELESS-N USB [00:45] how do i access he top menu?

[00:45] but, others may be helping [00:45] Agent_bob: its an external hdd, i dont know if that changes things... [00:45] Pelo, no. it's just a file type with associated applications [00:45] it shouldn't filloy, what filesystem [00:46] Pelo, I can select xmms from the list and it will open it fine [00:46] KaiForce: vfat [00:46] Pelo, just not as the default application [00:46] vanberge, my guess it it is being handled as two seperate users, one with no password [00:46] hey i am having some problems getting compiz-fusion to work with dual monitors any ideas? or where should i be looking? [00:46] how do i search packages with apt-get ? [00:46] jcrawford: Linksys may or may not work. My best experience is with "noname" brands [00:46] pbandjco: what video card? [00:46] 7900gtx [00:46] filloy that can be from either of two causes, 1 you didn't run it as root and don't have permission. or 2 it's not a true filesystem i.e. M$ psyudo file system [00:46] how do i search packages with apt-* ? [00:46] Pelo, but i enter the same username, same password.. just hit tab vs hit enter after the username [00:46] matttis: apt-get search package [00:46] xenar, did you set xmms as your default open with app ?( sorry if you said already , I'M a little tired) [00:46] check me if I'm wrong, but I don't know that vfat supports ownership [00:46] IdleOne: thx [00:46] pbandjco: is it an nvidia or ati? [00:46] vanberge, no idea then [00:47] jcrawford: e.g. Longshine. Recent Netgear stuff has been okay. Also Belkin [00:47] dav1, looks good... [00:47] Hey guys... [00:47] nvidia [00:47] Pelo, yes. It's not to do with .m3u. I also cannot open any .txt file by double clicking [00:47] it will display the owner of the mount point I think... I may be stoned. [00:47] IdleOne: doesnt work... [00:47] what is an inf file? [00:47] dav1, run "ls /media" and give me the output here [00:47] matttis: what package? [00:47] Pelo, I think it applies to ANY text file [00:47] dav1, if it is one line [00:47] Agent_bob: well, it was formatted in linux...with gparted, so i guess its a valid fs, ill try again with sudo [00:47] I've got two questions... Who thinks they can help? [00:47] IdleOne: Sleuth Kit [00:47] jcrawford: buy from someone who will give you a no-quibbles exchange if it doesn't work with Ubuntu out of the box. [00:47] Pelo, you can imagine the frustration ;) [00:47] ask away aaron [00:47] Aaron: Ask away === Aaron is now known as Spirotot [00:48] I think ubuntu just did a disk check with NO user feedback at all :/ [00:48] filloy you still here? [00:48] filloy in case it's # 2 then mount -o remount,uid=,gid= [00:48] pbandjco: try nvidia-settings, it will help you very much :d [00:48] javajake: output is - cdrom cdrom0 [00:48] xenar, that is posslble, linux doesn't look at extension for file type but to tags in the file , but I can open txt file by just dbl clicking on them , not sure why you can't [00:48] is Ubuntu really worth this trouble? I cant get a simple mouse to work [00:48] Agent_bob: ok, ill try that [00:48] filloy vfat does not support ownership [00:48] Alright. First (and simpler) question: Where can I download the Guifications plugin for Pidgin, for Ubuntu 7.10? [00:48] jimmygoon: Ubuntu shuts up unless there is a problem. [00:48] Yes MB5000 it is worth it. [00:48] matttis: apt-cache search package [00:48] sorry [00:48] Pelo, it's also impossible to create a new file in a directory if you have list view enabled, because there is no 'empty space' in the view to click on, but that's quite another thing [00:48] how do i access that? [00:48] k [00:48] connexant CX20549 [00:49] Pelo, are you sure about that? [00:49] MB5000 : what mouse do you have? [00:49] Pelo, I would find that very strange [00:49] xenar, pick one, right click , properties, open with tab, make sure that gdeit is thicked as an app to open with, and remove all the othes you don,t want from the list [00:49] is there a driver for the soundchip connexant CX20549 [00:49] filloy see http://blogs.sun.com/richb/entry/group_ownership_problems_with_files [00:49] !sound > amigappc (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [00:49] prakriti : logitech g5, and microsoft intellimouse [00:49] soundray, it dosent seem to want to start, so i rebooted and same problem [00:49] amigappc: yes. It's enabled by default in the snd-hda-intel driver. [00:49] soundray, any ideaas pls? [00:49] dav1, OK, OK. Run "sudo mkdir /media/external-ntfs; sudo mount /dev/sdb /media/external-ntfs; ls /media" and tell me what it says (use pastebin.ca for multiple lines) [00:49] Second question: I need to find an audio driver, or something - I cannot figure out how to get my speakers to work.

[02:20] dark_ninja: woah thanks alot lol it was making my CPU go 100%...im so glad im getting rid of this thing lol [02:20] j3g: I would investigate power related things, see if its set to power down or whatever [02:20] yes a few reasons [02:20] lol [02:20] erm, suspend I mean [02:20] genii: when i typed that in it said "bash: syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'" [02:20] jsoftw: i changed it's name from venus to sol but it is the same box [02:20] http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/6731/gimptj6.png <------------- help~~ pls [02:21] dark_ninja: finally lol ill have a real desktop with a dual core proc and gfx lol :P [02:21] j3g: yeah look at what I mentioned [02:21] Inspiron 5160 Laptop-- Screen being detected as Plug n Play-- Then getting a RGB Glx Visual erro [02:21] j3g: and look in crontabs [02:21] jsoftw: i'll go there tomorrow.. can't check it from here [02:21] j3g: adn what not [02:21] :-) [02:21] naelr, looks like you're missing ncurses dev files [02:21] naelr: ok, well first of all I would that error specifically means that you need the ncurses dev libraries. There is probably a command in order to get all the deps for you, apt-get build-dep linux-kernel or somethin glike that [02:21] patrick_: In my case the wap broadcasts name george. So I would do: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid george [02:21] jsoftw: only hourly job on crontab was ntpdate to my local ntp server (i commented it out... ) [02:22] Hmm ok. [02:22] genii_: i will try again [02:22] micheal_: hmmm...try reconfiguring xorg [02:22] sweet... thanks dark_ninja and kelsin.. I will install and see what happens [02:22] j3g: what about the rest of cron. [02:22] what router you got? [02:22] can anyone here give me a hand with madwifi install on ubuntu 7.10? [02:22] brandon: linksys [02:22] jsoftw: nothing hourly.. [02:22] it will prob broadcast that by default [02:22] ongaku_;=: what would i need to change and how? [02:22] Weird. [02:23] sound problems fixed :D [02:23] michael_: type in terminal dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and follow it through [02:23] anyone ever set up usb headphones on ubuntu [02:23] I am trying to run a python script that uses gtk.PrintSettings on 6.10 with python version 2.4.3 but it is saying '... has no attribute PrintSettings' :( how do I fix this ? it works find under gutsy [02:23] stupid ncurses-dev.. thanks guys that was it [02:23] great [02:23] now I have another question... [02:23] michael_: restart and see what happens....i had similar problems on my dell lappy...it fixed the resolution and all that crud lol [02:23] hiya [02:23] jsoftw: stopped cron... let's see what happens next hour [02:24] genii_: terminal output: "error for wireless request "set ESSID" (8B1A) SET failed on device wlan0 ; no such device." [02:24] i have an older install of ubuntu on a separate drive that was not connected during install of 7.10. is there an easy way to tell grub to update the menu to boot that? [02:24] if I use a different kernel should I need to recompile ndiswrapper? [02:24] naelr, yes [02:24] it's a kernel mod [02:24] crap [02:24] crapper-crap [02:24] well you could try it but most likely yes [02:25] yea it doesn't work with a newer kernel I downloaded.. the ubuntu-zen kernel... [02:25] genii_: any idea?? [02:25] naelr: debian does have many scripts to compile kernels and kernel mods for you, if you do really need to build a kernel custom, it's probably worth learning [02:25] what kelsin said [02:25] does anyone know if you can get Guitar Pro 5 to work in Wine? [02:25] naelr: do you mean xen? Ubuntu has xen kernels precompiled [02:25] no [02:25] Im trying to setup a mail server using ubuntu. I've read the documentation and everything is set, but my question is if I need ubuntu server -I have installed the desktop edition- or it doesnt really matter [02:26] http://www.mattparnell.com/zen-kernel.html [02:26] zen [02:26] xzased: does not matter [02:26] Would somebody please help me determine why DejaVu Sans looks so bad (choppy?) in LabVIEW on Ubuntu (LabVIEW is a graphical programming IDE that doesn't use fontconfig)? DejaVu looks fine elsewhere, and it worked fine in LabVIEW on Gentoo. I have toyed with various font settings, but it looks choppy at small sizes and unsightly at larger sizes. I have taken a screenshot of the problem: http://netvenger.com/tmp/dejavu-labview-problem.png [02:26] genii_: are you there? [02:26] ongaku, others have reported that it mostly works [02:26] thanks a lot mr. kelsin -we meet again [02:26] jsoftw: do you know a way to turn of all power management features without rebooting? [02:26] xzased, doesn't matter, but server will be a bit more secure out of the box [02:26] dark_ninja: sweet...cos Dguitar doesn´t read .gp5 files...unless there´s one that dodes? [02:26] how can anjuta to compile my program? the program uses gtk+ headers. [02:26] does* [02:27] can anyone here give me a hand with madwifi install on ubuntu 7.10? [02:27] no idea [02:27] PiranhaP: is that an app running in wine? [02:27] I see. Thanks for the info guys [02:27] kelsin: no, native Linux, compiled against glibc [02:27] dark_ninja: ah well...thanks for your help earlier off to play Oblivion :D [02:27] Sorry to windows bash, but I think this is my new favorite feature - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;261186 [02:27] with my new laptop I can't use but the 2.6.20-14 kernel to boot my laptop.... but the sound doesn't work... if I use http://www.mattparnell.com/zen-kernel.html my sound works but my ndiswrapper doesn't work... I was going to recomplie the new madwifi drivers to try to get it working [02:27] Computer Randomly Plays Classical Music [02:28] LOL gotta love Windows eh lol [02:28] PiranhaP: do you happen to knwo which widget library it's using? I would check into that, it might need xft support compiled ir or something like that :-( [02:28] hello [02:28] genii_: are you still there and can you help me? [02:28] I need to use gtk.PrintSettings etc. on 6,10 with python 2.4.3 can someone help ? [02:29] Mercurybullet: actually it's a BIOS feature, not specific to win [02:29] lol at win [02:29] hello, does anyone know what drivers I need for ATI Mobility Radeon 7500??? [02:29] its a small small world [02:29] mercurybullet: windows would give me the blue screen of death anytime I used the WMP plugin for Windows Live Messenger...haha [02:29] ouellettesr, it depends on what you want to be able to do [02:29] how can get anjuta to compile my program? i think it can't build it now because i need to type `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` in the terminal to compile my programs (gtk+) === daguilera is now known as himura [02:29] kelsin: Everything in LabVIEW is custom done; it's own widget set. It's a cross-platform IDE, so they made sure it was consistent. [02:30] having trouble with a xinetd/vnc4server setup; can login OK to vnc4server when it's running solo, but not when it's running under xinetd, can anyone help? [02:30] your options are basically the radeon or fglrx drivers === himura is now known as kenshie_himura [02:30] dark_ninja well I would like to be able to use compiz [02:30] knoid: the bois has the song in memory? === Nematocyst_ is now known as Nematocyst [02:30] PiranhaP: then I would double check with them, esp if it works fine on gentoo, about what font library they are using [02:30] Mercurybullet: yep. read the article more closely. [02:30] Ongaku: well that shows you to use windows programs on a windows machine ;-) [02:31] Hello World: any one can help to use the old version of compiz (beryl ) in Gutsy ???? [02:31] Mercurybullet: "system BIOSes developed by Award/Unicore from 1997 on" [02:31] kenshie_himura: is there a reason you want to do this? [02:31] dark_ninja: do you know which one of those drivers would be better? And do I have to have xserver-xgl installed? [02:31] mercurybullet: lol yeah...im all ubuntu now...but ima have to get windows for my new build...Oblivion is hard to run in Wine... [02:31] kenshie_himura: instead of using compiz-fusion that's included? [02:31] knoid: wow, i see that now...i wonder if the song was part of their sales pitch [02:31] right, ouelletttesr you should be able to use the default driver [02:31] because my card its too old [02:31] have you tried installing enabling desktop effects? [02:31] Mercurybullet: no idea lol. i guess M$ got enough calls about it to make it worth putting on KB [02:32] kelsin: I'm fairly sure it's Xft as I've had to include the libraries in an "embedded" system before. [02:32] and i can use meny effects of compiz [02:32] dark_ninja: the default driver is ati [02:32] hmm well try changing that to "radeon" [02:32] i use DRI to my ATI RAGE MOVILITY P/M 4Mb [02:32] that should give you 3d support [02:32] knoid: I can only imagine what I would do if my computer randomly started playing "Its a small small world" [02:32] LOL [02:32] kenshie_himura: you're graphics card? you can disable and enable the effects in fusion individualy and it's much stabler than beryl. You can install the ccsm to get to those options [02:32] !ccsm | kenshie_himura [02:32] Mercurybullet: flip out, i should think [02:33] kenshie_himura: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [02:33] dark_ninja yes, Its very choppy and it xserver-xgl eats up my cpu [02:33] ok ill try that [02:33] I need old version !! not the compiz-fusion nclude (sorry about my englsih, im spanish) [02:33] PiranhaP: I assume you custom compiled the app, and I assume that there weren't any options to enable aliasing of fonts? [02:33] hello i have a Sony laptop and ubuntu gusty wont show on my screen. it sounds like this there but nothing shows up [02:33] can´t kenshie get a backported version of compiz? idk how that works really [02:34] kenshie_himura: it may not be supported anymore--has been merged with compiz-fusion [02:34] Not I can't enable === bruenig|laptop is now known as bruenig [02:34] having trouble with a xinetd/vnc4server setup; can login OK to vnc4server when it's running solo, but not when it's running under xinetd, can anyone help? [02:35] i know about managed effects , but no to me thx, i need the old version, Help me please! [02:35] kelsin: No, LabVIEW is precompiled, and it produces executables that are compiled against its own run-time engine, none of which have any font options beyond what's in the screenshot. [02:35] I have a python script running under 7.10 python version 2.5.1. I need to use gtk.PrintSettings etc. on 6,10 with python 2.4.3 can someone help ? [02:35] as anyone notice that ubuntu dosnt load the splash screen in ? [02:36] Does anyone know of a single page that gives commands/scripts for all of the stuff needed to get extras working in x64 (i.e. Flash, etc)? [02:36] PiranhaP: if getting the fonts perfect is a important thing then you need to find out what libraries it's using (probably can ldd the binary) and then look at the ubuntu source package and the gentoo ebuilds to find what's different [02:36] Or is the best way to go, to just use automatix2? [02:36] !automatix | Mercurybullet [02:36] Mercurybullet: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [02:36] my cuzin is have a bit of problems with sound on his amd64ox [02:36] Mercurybullet, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins [02:37] neil_d, you do have pygtk installed on the 6.10 installl, right? [02:37] how can i make firefox consume less cpu? [02:37] dark_ninja, yes it can run the pygtk examples. [02:37] hmm [02:38] thx for info about automatix2, i dont use !XD [02:38] astro76: thanks [02:38] /server -m irc.irchighway.net [02:38] /server -m irc.irchighway.net [02:38] those that page fix the no sound on ubuntu 64amd no sound bug? [02:39] can anyone help me to connect to my internet wirelessly?? [02:39] howto install the version backport of beryl?? somebody says after... [02:39] Ereal1: try here? - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/#head-c623443c8c612c18be37feec67a1b62ab8ab060c [02:40] ALL: AFK [02:40] k ill try that [02:40] umm [02:40] patrick_: maybe...what's it doing (or not)? [02:40] my cuzins amd64box also has no sound at startup? very weird [02:41] kenshie_himura: backport is not the right word, that normally means install a newer version then nwhat's available. I would look into finding some beryl packages for fiesty/edgy and compiling those on your system (Look into apt-get source --compile), or just downloading the beryl source for their archives [02:41] kelsin: ldd only shows deps for X11 and Xext. If it's a question of Xft vs fontconfig, I can tell you that it's not fontconfig. Is it a problem that Ubuntu didn't create fonts.{dir,scale} in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu? [02:41] Ereal1: both boxes have the same sound chipset? [02:41] robdig_: i am running ubuntu 7.1 and have the wireless driver installed, i can view my available networks i just cannot connect to my home network [02:41] can´t kenshie get a backported version of compiz? HOWTO GET?? [02:41] PiranhaP: I have no idea, very possible, but I couldn't begin to tell you have to do it either [02:42] dark_ninja, any ideas ? [02:42] patrick_: is it open or is it protected? [02:42] I have a driver running right now that I need to reconfig. I can't "make" the new driver because it says that the driver is already enabled in the kernel. I'm pretty lost right now as to what I need to do, any help would be amazing. [02:42] #uiuc [02:42] neil_d, looking, but probably not, sorry [02:42] kenshie_himura: you are asking for trouble with this in my opinion,best to try compiz-fusion [02:42] robdig_: it is open, no lock is shown next to it because i left it unprotected when i installed the system ( linksys router) [02:42] luke_: what do you mean by reconfig? [02:42] i ran make on that driver when i still had some editting to do [02:43] kelsin: that part I can handle, I just didn't know Ubuntu had eliminated the need for the font.* files. I'll give it a try. Thanks for all your help. [02:43] kenshie_himura: there is no easy way to install the old version of beryl. You either have to learn how to deal with source packages, or learn how to compile strait from the beryl source [02:43] patrick_: do you have an ip address? [02:43] dark_ninja, do you know what package those modules are meant to be in ? [02:43] is it just me or is their no more splash screen at startup anymore ?! [02:43] robdig_: how do i know if i do? sorry im a novice haha [02:43] s/Ubuntu/if Ubuntu/ [02:43] also load time has increased ?! [02:43] robdig_: i've connected to the internet on this same computer running xp with no problem [02:43] neil_d pthon-gtk2 [02:43] seems to be a lot of bug in 7.10 [02:43] PiranhaP: well if it does work then you solved the problem yourself. I would imagine that the program might use bitmap fonts and with the dir and scale files it doesn't do a good job. Ubuntu might not include them since maybe no packages in the base trees neet bitmap fonts anymore, or something close to that :-( [02:43] patrick_: type ifconfig it will show a lot of output, about your connections [02:44] robdig_: will do hd on one sec [02:44] can anyone here give me a hand with madwifi install on ubuntu 7.10? [02:44] having trouble with a xinetd/vnc4server setup; can login OK to vnc4server when it's running solo, but not when it's running under xinetd, can anyone help? [02:44] kelsin , ya get what I mean? I can't make the new driver because it says the old driver is already enabled in the kernel. [02:44] patrick_: your ip address will be called inet addr, should be on second line for interface [02:44] Ok if i right i need a repository of beryl (festy) and use apt-get source --compile > its ok?? [02:45] robdig_: i typed in ipconfig into my terminal and it said "bash: command not found:" [02:45] dark_ninja, python2.4-gtk2 is installed. maybe I should reinstall it ? [02:45] nyctomas is your wireless is on b g [02:45] patrick_, ifconfig, with an f [02:45] patrick_: use ifconfig, ipconfig is on windows [02:45] ifconfig [02:45] linux has no support for wireless N from what I can see [02:45] robdig_: k thanks just one sec [02:46] neil_d, you can try though that probably won't do anything, however you may want to try looking at the version specific documentation for python and gtk that you're basically porting to === xp_prg is now known as xp_gone [02:46] robdig_: it worked what am i looking for again? [02:46] some syntax may have changed [02:46] ereal: what do you mean b g? i am in first week on linux [02:46] patrick_: on the second line of your wireless interface, should begin with inet addr if you have one... [02:46] luke_: if you really need to compile a driver that's included in the ubuntu kernel you probably need to custom compile your kernel as well, what driver is this? [02:46] ok here comes another question... I need a configuration option that madwifi says I need but I can't find it in make menuconfig ... [02:47] robdig_: okay it says 127.0.0.1 and then mask: 255.0.0.0 [02:47] lol [02:47] how does one apply a MM patch to the kernel [02:47] ereal: 802.11g, sorry [02:47] kelsin , it's a driver for an orinoco classic gold wifi card. it is needed to get monitor mode to run. [02:47] patrick_: that is your loop back interface, probably called lo0 or something. You probably want something that starts with ethX where X is 0 or 1 [02:47] robdig_: what do i do now? [02:48] Hi, is there a quick way to restart my USB ports? === pwnt- is now known as vmlinuz === vmlinuz is now known as vmlinuz` [02:48] anabelle, can you be more specific? [02:48] robdig_: okay under eth0 my inet addr is 192.1.1.103 what should i do?? [02:48] kelsin , i just jumped the gun and ran make on the file before i edited the config file so now it gives me the error: This driver is already enabled in the kernel. === adante_ is now known as adante [02:49] hi. is there a quick way to switch desktops in ubuntu like in kde? e.g., ctrl+f1 (desktop 1), ctrl+2 (desktop 2) and so on? the 'key bindings' area doesn't seem to suggest so. [02:49] due to a recent bug, the most annoying EVER === brandon_ is now known as shrug [02:49] patrick_: ok. lets find out if that is your wireless adapter. type iwconfig [02:49] Ok if i right i need a repository of beryl (festy) and use apt-get source --compile > its ok?? [02:49] luke_: if you just ran make and not make install or anything else it shouldn't have done anything you can't reverse with make distclean (if this is a nicely made makefile) [02:49] cheeby, have you tried ctrl-alt left / right [02:50] if i want to use something trough usb (phone, stick, ipod, even a mouse) it has to be connected before i turn else my pc or else it wont recognize it [02:50] robdig_: done, what am i looking for? [02:50] anabelle: you might try: sudo rmmod ehci_hcd; sudo rmmod uhci_hcd; sudo modprobe ehci_hcd; sudo modprobe uhci_hcd [02:50] patrick_: does it have output for eth0 or does it say no wireless extensions? [02:50] im willing that there is a command that restarts USB ports so i dont have to restart the whole system to connect a mouse [02:50] dark_ninja, yes. but I mean to move to a specific desktop/viewport. say you are on 2 and want to go to five. [02:50] robdig_: it says no wireless extensions [02:50] cheeby ctrl-alt-left or right [02:50] anabelle: but that sounds like it won't help in your case [02:50] cheeby, my bad [02:50] in kde I have up to ten active desktops, one for each client. [02:50] does anyone know of a utility that shows the users logged into a box at a specific point in time? [02:50] PiranhaP isn't that malicious command? [02:51] :( [02:51] patrick_: rats...which interface showed output, eth1? [02:51] im scared due to recent notices [02:51] anabelle: no, that unloads the USB 1.1 and 2.0 modules, then loads them again [02:51] dark_ninja, no worries. [02:51] robdig_: under eth1 it shows IEEE 802.11b/g and a bunch of stuff about my wireless card (broadcom 4306) [02:51] anabelle: you'll probably have to have everything unplugged from the USB to remove the modules though [02:51] anyway, yes there is a way cheeby, are you using compiz? [02:52] hashbrowncipher: "last" shows when peopled logged in and out [02:52] can anybody help me i am trying to run a ./configure file and it is giving me this error [02:52] loading cache ./config.cache [02:52] checking for gcc... gcc [02:52] checking whether the C compiler (gcc -O3 ) works... no [02:52] configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables. [02:52] PiranhaP it worked!! :D [02:52] patrick_: ok. on that first line, do you see your ESSID? [02:52] hashbrowncipher: I would check out it's man page [02:52] anabelle: awesome! [02:52] THANK YOU!! [02:52] robdig_: essid:off/any [02:52] anabelle: welcome :) [02:52] rorro: did you install the build-essential package? [02:52] i hate that bug..... restart the system to connect a mouse is just stupid :( [02:52] kelsin: thanks [02:52] a no fix yet :( [02:53] hi, where do i go as an ubuntu newbie in need of help with graphics card? [02:53] i think so kelsin i actually installed all single packages that has gcc :D [02:53] anabelle: what system are you running gutsy? I havn't heard of this bug, does it have to do with your motherboard or something? [02:53] kelsin , no rule to support make clean or make distclean [02:53] dark_ninja, yes. compiz here. [02:53] robdig_: what should i do? [02:53] kelsin: i think so i actually installed all single packages that has gcc :D [02:53] !enlightment [02:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about enlightment - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:53] hello everyone, I am having trouble installing build-essential, I have googled quite a bit but nothing seems to be helping. Here's a passtebin with the error im getting, any ideas? [02:54] patrick_: on the next line, does it say something about being unassociated?

[02:55] patrick_: same thing, so you're not connected at all. go to system->administration->network [02:55] * cheeby has a screaming six-week old baby on his lap.

[02:57] robdig_: done [02:57] when you buy SUSE linux from Novell, you just pay for the customer service right? [02:57] ok. this isnt really ubuntu specific, but is it possible to change the image that shows up when you fist turn on your pc? [02:57] robdig_: now what? [02:57] yes like there is a package call gcc another one call gcc-3.3, gcc 4.1 [02:57] PiranhaP, esta no brasil? [02:57] People!!? Need assisting at MASQUARADING!~!! [02:57] so i installed every single one of them [02:57] patrick_: do you see your wireless network ESSID in the first drop down? if yes, select it [02:57] cheeby: Nope [02:58] rorro: did you do this with apt-get or aptitude or some other way? [02:58] devigor: to what end? [02:58] synaptic package manager [02:58] robdig_: the enable roaming mode box is checked and all of the drop downs are gray and i cannot click on them [02:58] mala sorte. [02:58] cheeby: I get that a lot, though. As I understand it, "Piranha" means something like "Fox" does in the US. Is that right? [02:58] patrick_: uncheck the roaming box [02:58] rorro: double check that you installed the build-essential package [02:58] bazhang_ gfrom Internal to External net [02:58] robdig_: k now what [02:58] ok how can I check that?? [02:58] !br | cheeby [02:58] cheeby: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [02:58] quick question... How do I get to KDE System Settings? [02:58] patrick_: now see if your network is listed in the first drop down [02:58] lol, anyone have any experience with dosbox? I want to mount a folder in it and run and .exe file to play a game [02:59] it's a fish and the name of a river. [02:59] CovilleR: K / System Settings [02:59] Ongaku: sure [02:59] rorro: in a terminal just type "sudo aptitude install build-essential" or in synaptic search by name for "build-essential" then install it [02:59] cheeby, try apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [02:59] Hi, I've just installed kubuntu 7.10 on my hp dv6000. Has anybody been able to make the display work properly on such a system? I'm running X in 800x600 using vesa drivers right now. [02:59] cheeby: I named myself after the fish. [02:59] dark_ninja, ty. [02:59] bazhang_: how do I do it? I only know how to use it in Windows...the folder is located in the documents folder [02:59] bazhang_ here is the problem: I've maked IPTables MASQUARADE but still my ExtNet can see my INTIP [02:59] I will need the ubuntu installation cd for that right?? [02:59] PiranhaP, cool. uma mulher piranha is something else. [03:00] rorro: or internet access [03:00] I installed a driver that I forgot to edit a line in the original config file. When I try to "make" the new driver that is edited correctly I am getting this error: ""This driver is already enabled in the kernel"" How can I disable that driver so I can reinstall this new driver? [03:00] PiranhaP, you may want to look it up... [03:00] ;) [03:00] Ongaku: they have a pretty simple walkthtough on the site--need a link? [03:00] heh, k [03:00] robdig_: under configuration i have available: static ip adress, automatic configuration (dhcp) and local zeroconf network (IPv4 LL) [03:00] bazhang_: yes please :) [03:00] ok i tried to installed but it says that i need to put the ubuntu_7.10 cd [03:00] dark_ninja, downloading now. [03:00] anyone know have any information on modifying bios splash screen? [03:01] rorro: have you disabled the cd from the sources list, and only left the internet options? [03:01] and i am at school so how can I do it with the internet do i need a repository address or so?? [03:01] So, Do ANYONe knows ow to hide INternal IP? [03:01] shrug, which boot mgr are you using? [03:01] patrick_: if your router assigns ip addresses (likely), then you want it set to automatic configuration [03:01] no i have not [03:01] freak [03:01] cheeby, when you finally install it you can either type ccsm into a term or run it normally from a menu [03:01] robdig_: okay let me try that [03:01] sex [03:01] let me do it [03:01] patrick_: the box i was speaking of is the top one, the network name (ESSID) [03:01] LjL: I can't figure out how to get to that. I've searched it and it shows a bunch of matches in different places but I can't view any of them.. Might they be hidden or something like that? === IR9807 is now known as codekiri [03:01] dark_ninja, installed. trying now... [03:01] Hi [03:01] guess what, I'm a newbie [03:02] CovilleR, not sure what you're talking about... it's right there in the K menu. KDE's main menu. [03:02] bazhang_: u got that link? lol i want to play TES: Arena :P lol [03:02] dark_ninja, oh my. there is a lot here. [03:02] ... sorry to ask, but can anyone tell me where to get graphics card help... im a complete newbie to linux [03:02] thank you. [03:02] http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?page=Basic+Setup+and+Installation+of+DosBox Ongaku [03:02] ok i did it, it should work now right? [03:02] robdig_: sorry i was on wired network, im under wireless and im about to look under essid [03:02] codekiri: then perhaps start by asking an ubuntu question rather than randomly mentioning sex [03:02] cheeby grub i believe [03:02] bazhang_: thanks hun :) [03:02] robdig_: okay i have my network selected under my essid now what? [03:03] cheeby, yes, yes there is, but all you need to do is go to the rotate cube plugin, and then go to the actions tab [03:03] cheeby: i have an emachine and i want to change the emachine logo on boot up [03:03] that wasnt me, it was a stupid friend of mine [03:03] Hi, I'm a complete linux newb and I'm currently trying to install Cedega CVSin order to install steam/cs:source/hl2 on my laptop [03:03] bazhang_: it´s simple then? lol i always think everything will be complicated with linux :P [03:03] I must apologize for that [03:03] I need some help installing CEdega [03:03] shrug, yeah you can do that by adding a line in grub.conf. [03:03] patrick_: make sure the configuration has automatic configuration selected [03:03] usually in /boot/grub [03:03] !cedega > bhagman88 (bhagman88, see the private message from Ubotu) [03:03] does anyody think they could help me? [03:03] robdig_: it does [03:03] oo [03:03] ok [03:03] patrick_: and say ok [03:03] cheeby ok.. cook ty... [03:03] cheeby: really? i figure you would have to reflash the bios for that [03:03] in mine it's splashimage .... [03:03] Ongaku: very simple--the instructions with the install should be enough [03:03] bhagman88: why you choose cedega [03:04] bhagman88: If you really want cedega I recommend buying it and asking them. CS Source can run in plain wine, which you can find information about under their appdb [03:04] robdig_: alright if i log out ill be right back so stay on robdig and thanks so much for the help! [03:04] bazhang_: alrighty thks [03:04] hi, anyone know best audio ripper + convert to mpr for gutsy pls? [03:04] knoid, depends on what he wants. [03:04] patrick_: ok [03:04] !appdb | bhagman88 [03:04] bhagman88: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [03:04] bhagman88: what game you playing? [03:04] *mp3 [03:04] kelsin is downloading it I'll let you know if it works [03:04] Ongaku: and there is a built in help device within the program [03:04] thank for your help [03:04] bazhang_: but oh wait...i dont have this game installed yet on windows or anything... [03:04] bhagman88: wine=better than cedega and free! [03:04] bazhang_: this link isn´t much help cos i dont have windows lol [03:04] dark_ninja, is there a text file I can edit instead? [03:04] ok! [03:05] LjL: I'm trying to follow http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_6.06_on_a_ThinkPad_R60#KDE but I'm stuck after Reboot.. I guess I can't find Laptops and Power.. I must be missing it somewhere. [03:05] o thats right [03:05] I'm installing WineCVS [03:05] but I'm stuck! [03:05] Ok [03:05] it worked man thank you very much [03:05] Well, yet another stupid quirk: Upon restarting my computer I can no longer use my native resolution of 1400x1050. Worked perfectly before but now when I try to change resolutions and click Apply, it asks if I want to keep the settings... but it doesn't actually change. [03:05] I'm not sure whwat [03:05] bhagman88: I also recommend using the wine packages from the ubuntu repos or the official wine ubuntu packages [03:05] "Change to the location where the WineCVS.sh is lying and start it with: $ sh WineCVS.sh " means [03:05] cheeby: instead of trying to compile your self [03:05] I haven't changed my xorg settings at all. [03:05] bhagman88: hold one sec [03:05] Ongaku: you can install it from the repos, then follow the rest of the walkthrough--you will need to use dos commands--thus the name dosbox :} [03:05] cheeby: sorry, wrong name [03:05] how do i connect to a wifi/wired network when im booted to command line only? [03:06] bazhang_: does the linux filesystem have a letter assignment? that´s all i really need to know [03:06] cheeby, not really... this is all based off of gconf editing the gconf database by hand is... not recommended, did you find the rotate cube plugin? [03:06] CovilleR: not sure, try asking in #kubuntu as well [03:06] bhagman88: is there a reason you want to compile wine instead of using the version included in ubuntu? [03:06] Ongaku, no [03:06] Ongaku: launch it in terminal by typing dosbox [03:06] bhagman88: http://www.winehq.org/site/download [03:06] Alright, thanks. [03:06] any ideas for a cluster setup that is operable on 15 machines? [03:06] bazhang_: i have it running..all i want to do is mount the folder the .exe is in, run it and install it and play it [03:06] having trouble with a xinetd/vnc4server setup; can login OK to vnc4server when it's running solo, but not when it's running under xinetd, can anyone help? [03:06] bhagman88: there is an ubuntu one there [03:06] no One nows? ;-( [03:06] Ongaku: no, but all you need to is mount C and then go to the appropriate game you want to run [03:06] *knows [03:06] kelsin: Well I'm following a tutorial online that says to install this, so I'm trying it [03:07] bazhang_: ah okies [03:07] dark_ninja, yeah. pretty sweet. [03:07] shrug: thanks, I'll check it out :) [03:07] bhagman88:http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb [03:07] bhagman88: I would recommend ignoring that part of the tutorial and just installing wine via the ubuntu repos or the official wine packages [03:07] that is more specific to your needs [03:07] I'm pretty impressed with how far gnome, etc., has come along in the past few years. I've been on kde since about 2003. [03:07] Ongaku: DOS games/ [03:07] Ongaku: start from step two of the walktrhouthg [03:07] i dont think wine is in the official repos [03:07] bhagman88: if you look the packages are probably newer then the version used in the tutorial too (most likely) [03:07] wow huge typo [03:07] how do i connect to a wifi/wired network when im booted to command line only? [03:08] cheeby, so you've got hotkeys? [03:08] dark_ninja, yup. [03:08] bazhang_: so...mount c then the folder its in? [03:08] sweet [03:08] ubuntu is pretty sweet. [03:08] Ongaku: and be sure to go to abandonia.com for loads more games [03:08] lucian: ifconfig and iwconfig [03:08] !info wine [03:08] wine: Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.46-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 33097 kB, installed size 103228 kB [03:08] lucian: ifconfig eth0 up [03:08] kelsin: ok, I'll try installing wine through the synaptic pack manager [03:08] kelsin any ideas? [03:08] * cheeby coming from the gentoo world. [03:08] if I update my video driver using envy, compiz seems to become disabled because Gutsy doesn't think I have the restricted driver anymore. Anyway to let Gutsy know I have the driver, even though it's not the Gutsy driver? [03:08] robdig_: are you there? [03:08] bazhang_: lol i just want to play Arena hahahaah [03:08] Ongaku: yup [03:08] patrick__: yup [03:08] dark_ninja, not that there is anything wrong with gentoo... [03:08] kelsin: i dont think wine is in the repository [03:08] thnx tigran and knoid ... i'll try those [03:09] kelsin: i may be wrong though [03:09] !envy | whyameye [03:09] whyameye: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [03:09] * cheeby can't imagine any comparison with gentoo has ever come up on this channel [03:09] cheeby, :-) not at all, but the compiles got to me after a while [03:09] robdig_: okay i've done what you said, but now what do i do? [03:09] luke_: unfortunately no, I have no experience with that driver [03:09] dark_ninja, compiles? try piles of broken packages. [03:09] cheeby: stick around then :} [03:09] !netstat [03:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about netstat - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:09] lol [03:09] robdig_: when i click on the little computer icons at the top right of my screen it has no options for wireless internet connection [03:09] astro76: the version of driver from envy is more current though, no? [03:09] what is terminal command to change directories? [03:09] It was either ubuntu or freeBSD. [03:09] i installed windows, and my grub dissapeared, what should I do? [03:09] cd [03:09] Okay, I'm really fricken pissed off. All I did was reboot my computer and now I can't get my resolution to work anymore. Would installing libx11-dev change my xorg settings? [03:09] !netcat [03:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about netcat - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:09] whyameye, no clue, newest is not always best [03:10] robdig_: all it says is manual configuration [03:10] hmm ubuntu mos def [03:10] !grub | codekiri [03:10] codekiri: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [03:10] astro76: well I'm having problems with the current one, which is why I'm looking around... [03:10] kelsin , besides a make clean or make install. what else is there to do in order to disable to installed driver so i can install the new? [03:10] patrick__: yeah, mine doesn't either...type ifconfig again and see if eth1 has an ip address, if so, then you should be working [03:10] luke_: I have no idea, sorry [03:10] I had to disable TwinView in xorg.conf last time to fix this, but I don't remember how to do that. [03:10] kelsin thanks anyways, much appreciated for the effort. [03:11] ubotu: uh, ok, thanks [03:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about uh, ok, thanks - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:11] luke: sudo modprobe -r [driver name] [03:11] luke_ have you done an rmmod? [03:11] that should help [03:11] hello all, can anyone help me with installing a driver for ati HD 2400 XT? I need a proper guide, or something for it [03:12] robdig_: a lot of stuff has changed under eth0.. my inet addr is the same but it has stuff about bcast and a lot of other number and information haha [03:12] thx. i was leaving out the/. whay can't i cd from home to user directory? [03:12] anyone? >.< [03:12] patrick__: that's because you unchecked roaming...how about eth1? [03:12] NYCThomasB, example? [03:12] robdig_: it has information similar to info on my eth1 (wired) internet, does this mean it will work if i unplug my ethernet cable? [03:12] haven't tried rmmod or have heard of it. will get back to you dark_ninja in a sec. [03:13] cd usages 101: [03:13] patrick__: it should...only one way to find out... [03:13] cd up one dir - cd ../ [03:13] robdig_: be right back haha [03:13] modprobe -r does not work if its in use tigran [03:13] luke: ah [03:13] astro76: in file browser i see home, then under it thomas directory. i am at home in terminal and do cd /thomas and am told it doesn't exist [03:13] luke: have you tried blacklisting it [03:14] luke_: which is a good thing [03:14] cd thomas [03:14] not cd /thomas [03:14] NYCThomasB, are you sure you aren't in /home/thomas already? does it say ~/ ? [03:14] wutz, what version of ubuntu? [03:14] NYCThomasB, type pwd [03:14] kelsin , why a good thing? [03:14] is it possible to add a network printer from a windows computers? [03:15] shrug, ah missed that [03:15] luke_: removing drivers that are in use can lead to bad things [03:15] astro76: yeah.. noob mistake :) [03:15] astro: thx. i guess below home the / is unneccessary [03:15] yea =/ [03:15] NYCT [03:15] when I execute the command "wine SteamInstall.exe" the error "wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\SteamInstall.exe": Module not found [03:15] " comes up [03:15] NYCThomasB, / is incorrect unless you really mean the root of your filesystem [03:15] yeah [03:15] bhagman88: you need to be in the directory with SteamInstall.exe [03:15] SteamInstall.exe is on my desktop [03:16] oh but I am [03:16] nyct cd /home/thomas would have been correct [03:16] NYCThomasB, start using tab completion, type a few letters and press tab [03:16] kelsin , well its for a pcmcia wifi card that just needs monitor mode enabled in a line of code. i have the correctly configd driver right here just waiting to be installed after the original one is disabled [03:16] bhagman88: then try "wine ~/Desktop/SteamInstall.exe" or "wine ./SteamInstall.exe" from your desktop folder [03:16] astro: thx. i was starting there for easiest root. its same as dos i guess and i made it harder. thx all. :) [03:16] yep [03:16] luke_: dude, honestly I have no idea what you need to do, I'm sorry [03:16] i may lose net connectivity from this, will be back shortly if so. [03:17] keslin: can't he blacklist it? [03:17] robdig_: if i unplug my ethernet cable i am no longer connected [03:17] Hey, can anyone point me to a guide on installing a driver for ati HD 2400 XT? [03:17] bhagman88 - im sure the app database for wine will have a detailed tut for installing steam [03:17] sweet mother of jesus kelsin I will now name you all mighty god of the world [03:17] as well as you shrug [03:17] tried tigran, but the orinoco and orinoco_cs modules are the only thing i can see that are linked to this server on lsmod list [03:17] wut1, what version of ubuntu are you using?

That was just my 2 cents [03:19] pici: remember... it wouldnt read certain file types [03:19] shrug: Ah... yes. [03:19] no [03:19] shrug: What turned out to be the issue? [03:19] pici: automount mounts it udf [03:19] robdig_: im asking the person who set up my router if there is a password atm hd on one second [03:19] pici: it should have been iso9660 [03:19] patrick_: if you need more help, then maybe someone else can help. ubotu also has some links, i'll send you [03:19] thanks anyways tigran [03:20] shrug: Strange.

It's been working fine for 18 months or so, but it's just stopped working 5 minutes ago, half way through a song. [03:26] kelsin: should I reboot? or what? [03:26] when I try to mount /boot, I get its busy or already mounted [03:26] Wut1: go preferences, advanced desktop effects setting [03:27] dooglus: aoss with what?

[03:27] wut1: did you already install compiz? [03:27] even though it shouldn't be part of the lvm [03:27] kelsin: that way they seem to be happier to share the sound system [03:27] doesnt 7.10 come with it? [03:27] but it refuses to mount. [03:28] which is kind of weird. [03:28] Wut1: Yes [03:28] but I'm not sure what to do. [03:28] well then yes.. [03:28] wut1: no.. mine didnt [03:28] ..

[03:29] dont see advanced desktop effects settings [03:29] At some point, my /boot stop being mountable. [03:29] its not there [03:30] not quite sure what caused it, probably an apt-get dist-upgrade at some point [03:30] because it doesnt come with it [03:30] but when I try to mount it, it complains that its busy. [03:30] it isn't part of the lvm... or at least it shouldn't be. [03:30] I can't verify it.

[04:11] hmm no im just tryin to compile from source >_< [04:11] ahddm: I would check your monitor modes then, and make sure they are correct [04:12] Vicfred: I would "sudo aptitude install pidgin" and use that version then, it should have most options enabled [04:12] How can i change moniter modes? [04:12] Hello: any know how to accelerate hardware , need to run 3dDesktop [04:12] ahddm: are you the one that installed 6.06?

[04:13] Shrug: sis [04:13] Shrug: on a laptop [04:13] hey guys im shopping around for an os i like this one the best so far, however i have one more to try since it says its out-of-box video compatable, im downloading a live cd of it, what do i do with a live cd? [04:13] eses: not sure with that... [04:13] Ok will try, but is there anyway to upgrade with cd without losing data? [04:14] Dankchild: boot with it in your cd rom drive [04:14] all of a sudden my network stopped working. /etc/network/interfaces has the right info and restarting /etc/init.d/networking doesn't cure it. [04:14] can someone guide me with a package related problem??? [04:14] ahddm: you have a lot of data from the past 2 days? [04:14] kelsin: do i have to install anything? [04:14] Dankchild: nope, that's the reason for a live cd [04:14] ya 1000 songs and alot of website data [04:14] sbosio: just explain the problem [04:14] kelsin: k, so theres no possible way to overwrite my data? [04:14] hey it did something but it didnt install the flash player should i restart the computer? [04:15] maybe someone can help me... When I start my computer, after grub loads, the screen goes blank for 5 minutes until the gdm login screen loads. If I remove quiet and splash from the grub menu, the system boots normally. [04:15] how do I add a andrew morton patch to my kernel [04:15] kelsin: or do i have to create a partiton anyway? [04:15] ahddm: you can, since you already have a system that won't boot X I would recommend backing up the data, or moving it to another partition, In the future it's a good idea to make a separate home partition so you never have to change or remove it when you upgrade / install a differen linux distro [04:15] Dankchild: not for a live cd [04:15] i was upgrading and the new version of package tzdata can't be installed, blocking any other upgrade / install [04:15] Dankchild: no, not unless once in the live cd you mousnt your system partition then delete files on it [04:15] ouellettesr, turn off compriz? [04:16] ok thanks ill download 7.10 now and upgrade [04:16] thank you for help [04:16] ouellettesr: sounds like your computer just doesn't support framebuffer [04:16] ahddm: I think it will just leave you with a cleaner system, instead of boggling down with wierd issues when you're trying to learn [04:16] kelsin: im still pretty new to this, sorry, i just have a couple questions about partitions, do i have to have an empty hard drive to create one? [04:17] kelsin, the splash works with the live cd, so I don't think that's the case... [04:17] Dankchild: no, there are programs and live cds (gparted in particular) that can resize and change partitions, not always a 100%safe operation but it can be done [04:17] hello [04:17] ah, ouellettesr, have you gone to synaptic to make sure nothing is broken? [04:18] kelskin: i think i screwed the ssl support i installed pidgin over "sudo aptitude install pidgin" and it says it needs ssl support... [04:18] Ticklemonster: no I haven't, I just installed the system [04:18] ouellettesr: probably need to play with the vga= option in your /boot/grub/menu.lst [04:18] oh [04:18] kelsin: ok, can i safely make a partiton through ubuntu to have one prepared for my livecd? or do i have to do it through the live cd? [04:19] kelsin, I tried that too :-/ [04:19] Vicfred: you should probably remove the pidgin package, and remove the files you installed, then install the package again [04:19] kelsin: last upgrade of package tzdata failed to install (it says post-installation script failed) and now I can't upgrade or install anything less 'cause always tries to configure that misconfigured package [04:19] Dankchild: you do not need to do ANYTHING on your computer for a live cd [04:19] sudo edit /etc/apt/fstab, and after the entry for you / partition, change the last number one to a zero. if you aren't comfortable doing that, don't [04:19] Hello: any know how to accelerate hardware , need to run 3dDesktop [04:19] Dankchild: that's why it's called a live cd, you don't need to do anything and it doesn't change or save anything on your system [04:20] kelsin: oh no i completely understand that, what i mean is if i want to install from it. [04:20] I was installing Mac4Lin, but I moved the Max(Min)imize/Close button to the left side of the title bar. How do I turn them back? [04:20] @FloodBot1, how's it hanging, dude [04:20] lol [04:20] Dankchild: yes, you should create a partition first, or use the tools on the live cd, it all depends on the live cd, most good distributions include instructions for creating a partition on their site or in the documentation [04:20] hey im on a amd64 ubuntu and i installed the flash player 9 and it still didnt work but it installed [04:21] IanLiu: did Mac4Lin walk you through changing the buttons or just did it? [04:21] It walked me trought, but I tried to reverse that step, but it didn't work [04:21] kelsin: yes this particular dist. comes with one one the livecd, but i was wondering if it would be safer to do it through ubuntu? [04:21] IanLiu: you can goto the gconf-editor and the key you want is in Apps/Metacity/Defaults/buttonlayout [04:22] yeah, I did change that conf. but the buttons still on left side [04:22] maybe because I changed the theme to Glossy? [04:22] Dankchild: they most likely use the same tools, if you want to resize partitions I recommend downloading the gparted live cd, I find it to be very good, but most likely the live cd you got has the same program that ubuntu has [04:23] IanLiu: I don't have much experience with other themes, it's possible the theme overwrites the button position, if you aren't using metacity as a windows manager then it def won't matter [04:23] I have a problem but I'm not sute it it's Ubuntu, GRUB or Vista related. [04:23] any know how to accelerate hardware , need to run 3dDesktop [04:23] yeah, thats waht I thought... but do you have any tips where this could have changed? [04:23] Alright fellow Ubuntu users, I've got a dumb issue that I'm stumped on. [04:24] IanLiu: I don't fully understand your question, are you using metacity or another wm (compiz etc)? [04:24] The running programs list (via icons) such as active programs seemed to disappear and I cannot figure out how to get it back. [04:24] where is the configuration file for DOSBox located? lol...i can´t find it [04:24] Metacity is just a theme, isnt it? [04:25] IanLiu: Metacity is the default gnome windows manager, unless you replace it with Compiz [04:25] kelsin im on a amd64 ubuntu system can installing flash plugins be hard on that? [04:25] I have a problem but I'm not sute it it's Ubuntu, GRUB or Vista related. [04:25] LinuxRocks: very [04:25] hmm [04:25] kelsin: k man, thankyou so much i appreciate it greatly. [04:25] probably Vista :P lol [04:25] LinuxRocks: adobe only makes a 32 bit flash player, I would google alot, it is a common issue [04:25] Dankchild: np [04:25] VISTA ROCKS! [04:25] lol [04:25] well, I activated the Ubuntu effects, if this helps.. [04:25] lol [04:25] Anyone know? I'm dumb as all hell, I just need to get the running programs icon list back. :[ [04:25] Well I just installed Ubuntu multiboot [04:26] kelsin if i get x86 will it matter? will it solve my issues? [04:26] any know how to accelerate hardware , need to run 3dDesktop [04:26] IanLiu: then you are running Compiz and the metacity options in gconf will have no effect. I don't know if compiz lets you set that but if it does it would be under Apps/COmpiz somewhere and might be editable with ccsm [04:26] Hi what app should I use to load music on my Mp3 player?

Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:28] kelsin: do you think i should get x86 ubuntu version? [04:28] Anyone here know a bit about ubuntu and gnome that could answer a quick question? [04:28] Volvagia356: grub and ubuntu should have no effect on vista [04:29] LinuxRocks: I recommend that yes. The effect of actually running 64bit on the desktop is not worth it imho [04:29] the odd thing is === ahddm is now known as jack [04:29] Box|Box|Box: you should just ask the question, if people have an answer and can help they will respond [04:29] in GRUB, it displays "Windows Longhorn" and there is TWO of them [04:29] im running 64 bit on a laptop not desttop [04:29] How can I mount harddrive when running off Live cs [04:29] cd [04:30] Volvagia356: that is fully configurable in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file in ubuntu, you can probably remove one. When booting windows grub does nothing but tell the computer to boot off of the windows drive [04:30] Well, the idle program icon list (found near the clock and whatnot) seems to have disapeared, and I need it back. Any clues as to how I go about doing this? [04:30] Like chat programs and things like that. [04:30] kelsin: im running x64 on a laptop will x86 work better than what i got? [04:30] jack "sudo mkdir /mnt/sys; sudo mount /dev/ /mnt/sys" [04:31] I'll try EasyBCD and see what happens [04:31] ty ill try [04:31] LinuxRocks: it will avoid the issues you will have like with flash, there are many pages on the net talking about the differences and pros and cons [04:31] Box|Box|Box: what are you trying to do? [04:31] Box|Box|Box: ahh the systray [04:31] Just get the idle programs listed back on my panel. [04:31] It's not in the add panel list. [04:31] :[ [04:32] Box|Box|Box: right click on a blank point of the panel and click "Add to panel" and find the one you want [04:32] Yes, it's no where to be found. The systray, I'm assuming. [04:32] Box|Box|Box: right click on the panel and add the Notification area [04:32] Everything else is tehre :P [04:32] kelsin: hmmm i got a AMD Turion 64 Mobile Technology with x64bit ubuntu running so u think x86 will make it go slow? [04:32] Box|Box|Box: its at the bottom [04:32] DEAR GOD. [04:32] The only one I didn't try. [04:32] I thought to myself, "Nah, that couldn't be the notification area..." [04:33] LinuxRocks: I already said that I think the small difference in performance is not worth the hassle on a desktop, that is also my opinion and to be taken with a grain of salt [04:33] Thanks much guys. [04:33] Dumb, but happy. [04:33] LinuxRocks: most programs you will be running do not fully take advantage of 64bit anyway [04:33] G'night all. [04:33] hey guys, whats the compiz irc channel again? [04:33] kelsin: so you saying try x86 right? sorry im new to this [04:33] Wutz: you're there already [04:33] LinuxRocks: you won't even notice the speed difference [04:34] k thought so [04:34] LinuxRocks: for the third time, MY OPINION is that I would run x86 even on a 64 bit chip, if you want more info try google [04:34] ok guys I found a solotion to my bootup problem its described here. http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Fix_Slow_boot.2Ffaulty_splash_screen [04:34] kelsin: thanks for the help [04:34] LinuxRocks: np [04:35] Wutz: They used to have a channel [04:35] Sometimes when using Firefox, I click a link and my desktop completely clears, except for my background desktop image?? [04:35] Its me again... I have changed ubuntu to use no effects and Buttons still left aligned on window Title bar... any tips? [04:35] GNOME menu is gone too? [04:37] IanLiu: System > Preferences > appearence. You can get the effects back. [04:37] IanLiu: what do you mean about the buttons being left aligned? [04:37] h1st0: he's trying to change the button layout [04:37] Fezzler: sounds like a bug. Can you reproduce the lock up? [04:38] I was trying to install Mac4Lin, and I changed a conf. on gconf so that Close/Min/Max buttons are aligned to the left of the title bar [04:38] Hi. I having a wireless broadcom card issue where my connection appears as eth0:avahi in gutsy gibbon and I have no internet connection. anyone know what eth0:avahi means and what to do? [04:38] Fezzler: also to recover you could try hitting alt+f2 to bring up a run prompt and restart gnome-panel. Or you could hit ctrl+alt+backspace to restart X [04:38] Now I wanted to reverse this change, but I couldn't make it... [04:38] h1st0 Thanks! [04:38] adayah: with the broadcom cards you need firmware. [04:39] I went to another instance of Ubuntu and did a sudo reboot [04:39] Is ubotu down?

It should restart the panel up top on its own. [04:41] Linuxrocks: I agree with kelsin, that's actually my setup because x86 has much more stable everything [04:41] pbandjco: I don't know what you mean by rename, but you can install gparted that will help with some of those [04:41] ubotu: how to install compizconfig-settings-manage [04:41] usser: glad to hear it so what is the easiest way for me to get my nforce raid drives seen by my comp?

[04:47] zynergi\: it's fine for both [04:47] make that dosemu [04:47] Fezzler: why don't you run linux on the old computers [04:47] zynergi\: there is ubuntu-server [04:47] Fezzler, Z: but u can mount an actual physical directory of your computer to dosbox so it becomes a dos drive [04:48] zynergi\: there is a server cd install that defaults to a command line system [04:48] ah, i see [04:48] usser: EZ to set up? Sounds techi [04:48] i was unaware ;) [04:48] Fezzler, but dosbox is just an emulator u need an actual operating system for dosbox to run ie linux or windows [04:48] would you recomend it over common debian?

[05:12] eses, depends on your video card/ [05:12] i dont know why sudo would still work [05:12] !nvidia | eses [05:12] eses: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:12] but then stop... so, like, "sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list" lets you edit it [05:12] eses: dri is how xfree gives 3d acceleration, I don't think you can get it to work. [05:12] kousotu: afk for a few brb [05:13] but "gksudo" in kde doesn't work? [05:13] ok, I added the user to the group disk and it still says: mount: only root can do that [05:13] I've changed my hostname. How do I generate new SSL Certs for Postfix (smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/ssl2/ca.crt and smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/ssl2/ca.key and the others)? [05:13] k [05:13] eses: but the binarydriver page will have the latest [05:13] ljlolel: yep, sudo vi works fine. [05:13] weird, good luck [05:14] ljlolel: gksudo isn't installed for some reason. [05:14] ljlolel: heh...thanks. [05:15] ypsai: no, you need dri which doesn't work under vga [05:15] slackorama, wow, i unwittingly helped you, awesome [05:15] miyako: after adding a user to a group, you have to log that user out and back in for the change to be recognized [05:15] slackorama, perhaps, this morning, a package borked gksudo for some reason [05:16] nickrud: Compiz doesn't work under VGA? [05:16] which vga work with dri [05:16] nickrud: a new login shell won't do it? [05:16] whats the command to register your nick ? [05:16] miyako: not in my experience [05:16] nDevastator: /ns register pass email [05:16] nickrud: hmm, ok; well I can use sudo for now [05:16] !register | nDevastator [05:16] nDevastator: 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 === pri5cil4 is now known as priscila_ [05:17] my account smooker is bugged, i cant login with GNOME session, only Xfce :( when i type name and password yellow then black screen shows out, no panel, but with root can login. [05:17] kousotu: no [05:17] kousotu, compiz needs hardware acceleration --- vga is generic, knows nothing about 3d acceleration [05:17] ehh so i installed apache 2 via aptitude?? ehrw eis apachectl? dpkg -L isnt helping [05:17] nickrud: COmpiz is working for me under a vga card [05:18] Has anyone had any issues with dapper and USB/printing recently? [05:18] smooker, whats diffrent from xfce or ubuntu? [05:18] smooker_: sounds like your gnome or gtk config is hosed or something, try moving your relevant config directories into some sort of backup directory and log in and let it recreate the defaults and see if that helps [05:18] My printer was working and now it stopped [05:18] kousotu: does wobbly work? [05:18] kousotu: you aren't using the vga driver then, but one with dri support [05:18] at least that what I have to install for the Vindows Driver [05:18] yep [05:18] kousotu: did you ge the cube working. [05:18] h1st0: nope [05:18] can u explain what i have to do ? [05:18] ljlolel: looks like it might be a bug in kde somewhere. sudo kcontrol works from the command line. [05:18] kousotu: do you have the cube plugins checked in ccsm? [05:18] im using ubuntu from days .. [05:18] tnt63, xfce is really Xubuntu -- Ubuntu works on a lot of gnome goodies [05:18] h1st0: yes, I do [05:19] slackorama, are you running hardy or something? [05:19] kousotu: then holding ctrl+alt and dragging the desktop should work. You might want to double check the keybindings under desktop cube plugin. [05:19] ljlolel: nope, gutsy. === smooker_ is now known as smookerPC1 [05:19] smooker_: I had something similar; I logged out, did ctl-alt-f1, logged in, did killall gconfd-2 , then ps -A | grep gnome and killed all those as well. Then alt-f7 and logged back in [05:20] h1st0: it doesn't [05:20] that's still only 1 desktop [05:20] nickrud: you could have just sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [05:20] Processing triggers for libc6 ... [05:20] h1st0: heh, nice shortcut :0 [05:20] kousotu: check the key bindings under the general tab in desktop cube plguin. [05:20] ldconfig deferred processing now taking place [05:20] what does that mean? [05:20] ctrl-alt-backspace [05:20] h1st0: I haven't changed them [05:21] nickrud: yeah or ctrl+alt+backspace [05:21] oh goodie... [05:21] kousotu: I know but just make sure something is atleast set that you are hitting maybe there is nothing in there? [05:21] mariorz: ldconfig registers all the libraries that can be linked and used by an application [05:21] so i have to logout ctl alt f1, then killall gconfd-2 then -a | grep mnogme then killall [05:21] Alt+ super is "Draw on the screen" [05:21] ? [05:21] ok [05:21] but can you tell me how to remove this drawing? [05:21] lol [05:22] smooker: or, use h1st0's suggestion, and do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart at the console [05:22] why can't smooker do ctrl-alt-backspace-- are you only killing gnome? [05:22] i tryed to reboot pc but not works [05:22] nickrud: i get that message after installing stuff, does that mean the install process isnt finished or something? [05:22] kousotu: alt+super K [05:23] mariorz: no, to save time a package tells dpkg that it has updated libraries, and dpkg waits till all packages are installed and then registers them all at once, instead of running it for each package [05:23] brb [05:23] kousotu: try hitting ctrl+alt+down [05:24] kousotu: and keep holding ctrl+alt after letting down go [05:24] h1st0: I don't know what I did, but now it's working [05:24] lol [05:24] anyone here into model railroading? i'm new to it, i have a fascination with it, but not necessarily by choice [05:24] what format should I mount a data dvd disc burned under windows? I have no idea what format it is.. how can I find out? [05:24] kousotu: the ctrl+alt down is workign or rotate is working also? [05:24] !offtopic > ridge-meister (Please see the private message from ubotu) [05:24] yes [05:25] jamescarr: you can just mount it without specifying a format mount should be able to figure it out. [05:25] it cannot [05:25] hello [05:25] kousotu: all is good then now. [05:25] why doesn't ubuntu ship with xchat by default anymore? [05:25] I swear, things just wor when they feel like it.. [05:25] ubuntu: might want to change your nick. [05:25] pidgin rules! (not) [05:25] [203146.580000] Unable to identify CD-ROM format. [05:25] ljlolel: because of gaim/pidgin [05:26] ljlolel: I just install irssi right off the rip. [05:26] jamescarr: hrm... [05:26] is mediahunter here? [05:26] jamescarr: doesn't it automount if you insert it? [05:26] ubuntu: no [05:26] need some help [05:26] !ask > shinkamui [05:26] just rebuilt my gutsy kernel [05:26] darn [05:26] nickrud: what's wrong with pidgin? [05:27] wow ubotu is slow to day. [05:27] when I reboot, It says can't mout root filesystem [05:27] kousotu: pidgin blows for irc [05:27] first time I've built a kernel on a system with sata [05:27] kousotu: for im it's ok, but I hate it's irc [05:27] lol [05:27] shinkamui: probably messed up the modules for your ide/sata controller [05:27] I use konversation for IRC [05:27] shinkamui, sync it with output if lspci [05:27] shinkamui: or the filesystems that the kernel recognizes [05:27] Do I have to register multiple times in some Freenode channels? [05:27] filesystem is ext3 [05:27] I built that into the kernel and rebooted [05:28] Fezzler: register what your nick? [05:28] Don't I register once and IDENTIFY each time one [05:28] I think you're right on the money with the sata controller [05:28] shinkamui: if you made the ide drivers as modules, you need an initrd.img [05:28] Fezzler: once you log in the freenode and identify yourself you are fine. [05:28] guys im trying to burn .rm file in gnomebaker i get this error The plugin to handle a file of type application/vnd.rn-realmedia is not installed. [05:28] or staa [05:28] I'm trying to participate in #blender and it says I need to register. I am already [05:28] no, no, debian, and ubuntu, had xchat installed by default [05:28] so you can come to chatrooms like this and get help on stuff [05:28] it was invaluable for me when i started [05:28] hello all [05:29] shinkamui, m8, google it. This is the most common error around the kernel, the answers everywhere. [05:29] Fezzler: did you identify yet? /msg nickserv identify and you should get +ei [05:29] ljlolel: they don't have it by default anymore [05:29] i know [05:29] hence my question [05:29] why [05:29] debian had xchat!? I had to install vim, let alone xchat [05:29] h1st0 yup [05:29] ljlolel: you can use pidgin to get here now. [05:29] ooooh [05:29] cool [05:29] Hey, I have a question about Ubuntu and I am not so sure this is the place to ask, but anyways. I installed Ubuntu 7.10 yesterday and did all the updates and restricted drivers and everything and today it crashed twice, both times I was using Firefox if that has anything to do with it. Can someone help me? [05:29] Fezzler: I have no problem joining that channel. [05:30] h1st0: no one is there anyway [05:30] Fezzler: its showing you as in that channel [05:30] nickrud, I think it did? I distinctly remember trying to fix debian cluelessly and going to xchat as a useful resource [05:30] Fezzler: there are 50 ppl there [05:30] Fezzler: sometimes FN seems to give false error like that [05:30] I told the ircops about it [05:30] ljlolel: maybe if you installed the desktop, I guess. [05:31] yes, the desktop [05:31] Hmm, can someone help me? [05:31] !ask | ted0816 [05:31] ted0816: Don't ask to ask a question.

[05:32] should i convert the .rm's to wave ? with mplayer? [05:32] I have been looking most of the day for a dvd backup solution. I have tried dvdbackup but fails on most disks. I want a command line one any thoughts [05:32] tomd123: ah, I see, ted0816 it's hard to say, I usually have crashes that are hardware related; I'd first run the memtest you see when you boot [05:32] noobcoder: what are you trying to backup to dvd? [05:32] all my kids vids [05:32] I don't think there's a linux port of Real Media... [05:32] could be wrong tho === amidaniel is now known as AmiDaniel_away [05:32] I an trying to rip them to the hd [05:33] when typeing mplayer -ao in terminal i could convert them [05:33] noobcoder: so its just one folder? [05:33] I am trying todo what dvdshrink does in winblows [05:33] is theyr a way to add mplayer -ao to Nautalis-Script so i can right click and choose my option rather then typing them in terminal then choose an appropriate name [05:34] noobcoder: try k9copy [05:34] Winbozv [05:34] xD [05:34] noobcoder: download xdvdshrink than. [05:34] :) [05:34] so in order to boot from a sata drive, It needs to be built into my kernel right? not a module? [05:34] does k9copy have a command line ver [05:34] err, sata and the filesystem [05:34] noobcoder: ahh [05:34] I am on ubuntu server [05:34] shinkamui: thats the easiest way, yes [05:34] can any1 help? [05:34] ok, rebuilding [05:34] noobcoder: so copy a dvd not copy a video file to dvd === ethos_ is now known as ethos [05:35] noobcoder: well you can use those apps in linux with wine but let me look for an alternate clie program. [05:35] and to make sure of one more thing, in order to build the kernel I just need kernel-package and build-essential right, then config my kernel and type sudo make-kpkg kernel-image [05:35] TnTCry: There is no Linux port of Real Media... you could try converting the files and then burning, that's my guess... [05:35] k9copy... [05:35] then I can insatll the resulting package [05:35] thanks everyone [05:35] k9copy get's past most encryption too. [05:35] do a search with Google for "Linux Real Media Convert" [05:35] just want to be sure I haven't built an ubuntu kernel in quite a while, and Im used to the old way through slackware [05:35] !kernel | shinkamui [05:35] shinkamui: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages [05:35] gets* [05:35] most encryption? Hmm how many kinds are there >? :0 [05:36] although, i did have to use dvddecrypter the other day [05:36] noobcoder: so you only have command line right? [05:36] and what if we compile our own kernel ? whats different ? [05:36] nickrud: then let me ask you this, I've very happy with the default kernel, but I can't build the intel IWLWIFI driver apparently without having first built the kernel. How can I get around it [05:36] yea === smooker4 is now known as smookerPC1 [05:37] :) [05:37] shinkamui, if you install the proper kernel soruces you should be to compile a module/driver. [05:37] shinkamui: I haven't tried building a kernel in a long time, but I've built a few modules; I've only needed the headers [05:37] Yea.. headers.. thats what i ment. :) [05:37] Dr_willis: I installed linux headers for my kernel version and the linux-source for my kernel version from the apt tree. Thhe wifi driver is searcfhing for /lib/modules/(kernelversion)/source [05:38] LeenuxRawksAll, do you know if theyr is a way to add mplayer -ao to Nautalis-Script so i can right click and choose my option rather then typing them in terminal then choose an appropriate name [05:40] tntCry: you could write a script using zenity to take input ... [05:40] heya guys, my mouse hangs randomnly after working for a while on my system, if I try to kill or restart the X server the whole system hangs and needs hard reboot. Any idea why this might be happening? I already tried changing the mouse protocol from auto to ImPS/2 the device to /dev/input/mice from /dev/psaux in xorg.conf but it isnt working. [05:40] tntCry, why not just edit the /usr/share/applications/mplayer.desktop to say mplayer -ao [05:41] tntCry: or look at nautilus-script-audio-convert and adapt it [05:41] in the Exec field of that text file [05:41] nickrud: you have any ideas about the /lib/modules/kernver/source directory? [05:41] shinkamui: nope [05:41] Im tempted to rename the directory from this build if it wont boot and try building that wifi driver again [05:41] thanks nickrud [05:41] tntCry: good luck! [05:41] this is all because my stupid 3945 intel wifi won't pick up an access point thats more than like 10 feet away [05:41] noobcoder: having trouble finding a cli program that will do it all checking on k9copy. [05:41] in linux [05:41] but in windows it works fine, gotta be a driver problem [05:41] bruenig, becuase you must specify a name and you cant indicate the music file you want unless people do it in a weird way [05:42] tntCry: the ... at the end of my previous echoes LeenuxRawksAll :) [05:42] I would love to replace it with an atheros chipset [05:42] :) [05:42] tntCry, I just came in at the end so I don't actually know what you are doing probably shouldn't have said anythin [05:42] funk intel [05:43] Can someone just confirm that 'aptitude install vmware-player' is no longer available and we have to download and install manually? Or is there an additional source line that I need? [05:43] noobcoder: argh its a gui app. [05:43] pkh confirmed [05:43] pkh: have you searched with Synaptic? [05:43] default root pass for mysql install? [05:43] yeah, all the standard (multiverse etc.) enabled.

I'm looking for like.. an apache thunderbird type client, so I can set up my three IMAP accounts on different servers, and read them from my browser. [05:44] noobcoder: hrm.. i'm sure there is an app to do it I just don't know of its name. [05:44] nickrud: ok, thanks. will do it manually. [05:44] it's for mythtv, the ubuntu package doesn't work (64 bit) [05:44] nope [05:45] hi I have a Panasonic CF-51 with no sound [05:45] installing-mytht: depends, gui or service? [05:45] 7.10 fresh install [05:45] missing driver in alsa?

[05:46] mariorz: mysqladmin -u root password 'new pass' [05:46] where new pass is the new root password [05:47] is hplip necessary for non-hp printers? === macd_ is now known as macd [05:47] shinkamui: i need acces for that [05:47] my point is, if that command fails then your password has been changed [05:47] hey whats the wine command to use bin files? [05:47] has he tried DvdShrink in Wine? [05:47] unless thats what you're trying to do, in which case, sorry man [05:48] is anyone here that can help me figure out what is wrong with my isntallation of ubuntu server running mythtv and mythbuntu? [05:48] installing-mytht: I'm not familiar with mythtv, but if it's supposed to run without anyone logging in, you'd write a script, drop it in /etc/init.d , and do sudo update-rc.d defaults. [05:49] nickrud: thanks,, that's what I wanted [05:49] for some reason, when I run sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database and then set it to localhost, use what I thought was the database password and username, it tells me that it isn't correct [05:49] what is it by default with mythtv and mythbuntu? [05:50] K4k: no idea what they have set up. You may get a better answer from the mythbuntu people. [05:50] installing-mytht: see /etc/init.d/skeleton for a complete example, and reboot for a simple one [05:51] !screen > Fezzler (Please see the private message from ubotu) [05:52] matthh: no [05:52] Hi all I've just got my first linux install up.

[07:28] Mashi: No worries ... [07:28] yes xorg.conf [07:28] Schalken: i believe so. [07:29] dadehoog: in the menu mentioned, go to Acessibility and uncheck "Login Screen Ready" or change it to a desired soundfile [07:29] Schalken, after awhile tho one of the flashcards says it is read only mode and I cannot recover. similar to this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=133785 [07:29] hwilde: if you had enough space on the thing, couldnt you install it directly onto the flash drive from the live cd? [07:29] Mashi: Sorry, which menu ? [07:29] hmm a portable version of linux? [07:30] that would be enat [07:30] CrimsonWings: portable in what sense? [07:30] Schalken, you would need about 2.5G for that so you could get a 4G flashcard yeah [07:30] neat* [07:30] dadehoog: system -> administration -> login window [07:30] like you plugin your flash drive and boot to it [07:30] Mashi: Indeed - just found it, thanks :) [07:30] CrimsonWings: uhm, yeah, you get that [07:30] my flash drive is only a gig though [07:30] * Schalken has a lg or 6 seconds cuz he's downloading gutsy [07:31] CrimsonWings: you write a bootable image to a flash drive, and plug it in [07:31] T_T *ish poor* [07:31] me lag* [07:31] i mean, goddamnit [07:31] CrimsonWings: 1 gig is massive [07:31] no its not! [07:31] just google usb pendrive there are dozens of links [07:31] * Schalken has a lag of 6 seconds cuz he's downloading gutsy [07:31] i fill that with porn and vids in no time [07:31] CrimsonWings: it's plenty for an install of Linux [07:31] thats better [07:31] CrimsonWings: thats a lot of porn [07:31] i DL bleach eps at a freinds house, im lucky if i can gt 5 on it [07:32] not really [07:32] yeah I only say 2.5G because that is the minimal desktop install that we did. if you use the server install and no graphics it will fit on 1G [07:32] though i do have 5 gigs of nothing but pictures [07:32] 1 gig may be plenty if you know what you're doing. or are using a slim distro :P [07:32] CrimsonWings: holy crap, i have 6.1GB :O [07:32] I'm getting floating point exception (core dumped) error messages when trying to load a few different blocks of software [07:32] hardware is unrelated, it's all fine there. [07:32] any ideas? [07:33] lol thats just pics i have like 50+ worg of vids and stuff...im an addict [07:33] anyways any one familiar with wine or any of its ripoffs? [07:33] CrimsonWings: get off it, man. you need saving. [07:33] wine is not detecting my floppy in gutsy, can anyone tell me how to fix this? [07:33] I know brandy [07:34] ive only used crossover office... [07:34] yea i know [07:34] i need to delete alot of it [07:34] well im wondering if gameguard would initialize properly on it [07:35] my favorite online game is getting gameguard tomarro and i still wana be able to play it on linux [07:36] alienseer23: pop open winecfg and go to Drives tab [07:36] CrimsonWings: check the AppDb [07:37] cool, found it...duh, thank you [07:37] appdb? [07:37] link? [07:37] !appdb | CrimsonWings [07:37] CrimsonWings: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [07:38] gameguard is an anti-hack system. it installs a service that it needs to initilize and i dont think an abstraction layer will support this [07:38] CrimsonWings: *compatibility [07:38] CrimsonWings: probably not, though I know they recently introduced a complex patch to deal with some other copy protections [07:38] its a driver service that i guess is a secondary hack scan, i cant find it anywhere on my system after it runs [07:39] CrimsonWings: telling what app would help :P [07:39] hmm its gamemon.des [07:39] what would you all suggest for a proxy server? squid? [07:39] i can fiddle with my processguard to see what i can find out [07:40] CrimsonWings: Cedega might support cuz === j__ is now known as jeduan [07:40] hey guys how do i change the login screen and where an i get new ones [07:40] CrimsonWings: Transgaming handed out a bit of moolah for support for some copy protections [07:40] !squid [07:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about squid - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:40] Alyxander: System -> Admin -> Login Screen [07:40] Alyxander: art.gnome.org is one [07:40] !proxy [07:40] #ubuntu and related channels prohibit access from proxy servers due to a high level of abuse.

[07:41] hmmms [07:41] so scguy318 where do i put then once i save them and si sc meaning south Carolina? [07:42] Why does "tar -xzvf file.tar.gz" work as myself but "sudo tar -xzvf file.tar.gz" says tar: .: Not found in archive [07:42] Alyxander: no [07:42] thats a shame, its all the patches and workarounds that GG has had to impliment to patch over the hackers patches [07:42] Alyxander: you just drag them into the Theme window [07:42] Alyxander: the tar archive [07:42] ok [07:42] CrimsonWings: for a "fun" read on the details of a patch for SecuROM support http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10273 [07:43] CrimsonWings: in other words, you'll have to probably shell out money for Cedega or something for support [07:43] !info squid | epimeth [07:43] epimeth: squid: Internet object cache (WWW proxy cache). In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.14-1ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 627 kB, installed size 1580 kB [07:43] well GG isnt a copy protection is just closes and neutralizes known hack proggies [07:44] t-search, wpe, ect [07:44] i like t-search, its alot easier to make cheats for my emulators with it [07:45] CrimsonWings: well, yeah, but its inner workings rely on advanced knowledge of the PE format, the Windows API, and the like [07:45] i know how GG works, its complicated yes but simple in its execution [07:46] the whole thing runs on a rootkit service that hides and protects the GG processes [07:46] hey, i'm trying to use compiz themes in ubuntu gutsy gibbon, but i'm having no luck. i have emerald installed, and the themes imported into emerald, but nothing changes. any help? [07:46] how do i restart compiz [07:47] pbandjco: you can restart X or log out, immediate solution [07:47] trasience: add emerald --replace to your startup [07:47] Ok, I have ubuntu installed, what can ubuntu do/do-better then XP can? [07:47] try "compiz --replace" [07:47] okay, thanks [07:47] Sisco: runs faster, free apps, no cost [07:47] Sisco: unless you want to count the cost of electricity [07:47] yea but its complicated as hell === max365 is now known as max` [07:48] Sisco: nice and stable, package management [07:48] oh and it can access windows share networks [07:48] Sisco: well, it does depend on what you want :) [07:48] transience: thanks that worked [07:48] Sisco: It's also nice for the power user. The package manager system is a godsend. === K4k_ is now known as k4k [07:48] it can access most windows based networks and systems wich is a plus [07:49] How can I force an app (kde app in this case) to start in a minimised state? [07:50] i'm new to linux. how do i add things to my startup? [07:50] hey sc, where did you see that wine doesnt support GG? [07:50] also whats that wine devient that was made for games...it starts with a "C" [07:51] CrimsonWings: Cedega [07:51] THATS IT! [07:51] CrimsonWings: and I found that on the AppDb + Google [07:51] *hugs* thanks [07:51] link? [07:51] CrimsonWings: to? [07:51] the artical/info [07:51] transience: system -> prefs -> session [07:51] thanks [07:52] CrimsonWings: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7198 [07:52] CrimsonWings: forget it, you are welcome to test but probably won't work [07:52] im stuborn [07:52] and ill never know till i try [07:52] * CrimsonWings dances [07:53] how to lock panel on ubuntu from changing? [07:53] right click, lock panel [07:53] hmm yea the 620 error..not initialized... [07:54] thats exactly what i thought would happen, i still need to test it and tweak it [07:55] hwilde i mean.. all panel, so can not delete.. [07:55] lock panel afaik, is just lock from moving [07:55] anything [07:55] name it [07:55] hey SC [07:56] cadega says flyff works on it and flyff uses gameguard aswel [07:56] god damn samba! [07:57] ...shit....its a paid program, maybe i can find a pirate version [07:58] wheres my eyepatch? [07:59] I'd chug my way through the documentation, but I'd like to get this done in time for work tomorrow morning: I have my wireless driver set up, how do I create a wireless profile in Ubuntu? [08:00] floodbot? [08:02] CrimsonWings: stops a flood attempt in the channel [08:02] how to install direct rendering manager? help any one? [08:03] eses: no such thing ;) [08:03] eses: you probably mean DRI and the like [08:03] hey i found a pirate version of cedelga [08:03] eses: and you don't really install it [08:03] i love you puzo.org <3 [08:03] I have a system here with Ubuntu, which occasionally (read:too often) experiences hard lock-ups (no C+A+Bksp). How can I investigate the cause? [08:03] eses: there is such a thing as the Direct Rendering Manager, but its not something you install [08:04] BHSPitMonkey: read syslog, memtest? [08:04] eses: you probably need to install restricted drivers for your card [08:04] memtest checks out [08:04] DRM I googled it is there [08:04] Mashi: right click in Network Manager I think [08:04] scguy318, where can I read the log at that level? === |ajmorris_| is now known as ajmorris_ [08:04] BHSPitMonkey: at what level? syslog entries are written to disk [08:05] BHSPitMonkey: archived I think, /var/log/syslog [08:05] BHSPitMonkey: dmesg might be more for your interest tho [08:05] installing drm [08:05] eses: read what I just mentioned :) [08:05] scguy318, will check those places, thanks. [08:05] moin [08:06] any1 here know how 2 install N on ubuntu 7.10 gutsy [08:06] BHSPitMonkey: if not resolved, wait till day, this channel is deeead [08:06] chilli_, the game? [08:06] scguy318, I'm more than familiar with this channel :) [08:06] yes [08:07] scguy318: Thanks, that was a lot less complicated than the last distro I tried this with. On a similar note, is there a way to scan SSID's in that program, or do I need another one to do so? [08:07] scguy318, I live on freenode, though my visits to #ubuntu are rare; this place gets crazy. [08:07] Mashi: click on the network manager icon [08:07] chilli_, works best for me using the windows version in wine. [08:07] BHSPitMonkey: indeed [08:07] o ok [08:07] i shal;l do that [08:07] it's ironically faster than the linux version in my experience [08:07] Mashi: that should show a list of SSIDs I think [08:08] Mashi: else iwconfig scan nameofinterface [08:08] wish they would just give the swf directly [08:08] This may be slightly off topic, but I'm not sure where else to ask - it's about ssh tunneling. Say I have a webserver running ssh and apache (ports 22 and 80) on my home-network, and I have a firewall which does port-mapping for inbound connections on port 22 only (and rejects all other requests). How would I go about setting up a tunnel that allowed me to surf my home-network web-server from my laptop on the road. I am assuming it's possible to do, since i ca [08:08] scguy318: I think I'm in the wrong menu then, I'm going admin -> network and seeing a wireless eth1 option, though the other thing you said will work [08:09] thanks [08:09] Mashi: there should be like a computer icon in notification tray [08:09] Mashi: if you click on it should show you a list of SSIDs if I'm not mistaken [08:09] Mashi: thats the network manager applet tray icon [08:10] regarding my last post: i guess I should start by asking: 1) Is my situation clearly explained, and 2) is it at all possible in the first place (using ssh tunneling, not opening more ports on the router) [08:10] zauber: you may either setup a dynamic port forward or local port forward with the rule -> 127.0.0.1:80 [08:10] scguy318: That's not working, but I know what you mean now. I probably just messed up installing the drivers for my card or something, I'll toy with it for a while. Thanks. [08:10] Mashi: you can try iwconfig scan eth1 (I think that's what you said) [08:10] ok [08:11] scguy318: thanks, but which machine would be "client" in this case? My laptop? [08:11] zauber: yep [08:11] zauber: use PuTTY or cmd-line ssh, whatever suits you [08:12] I'm on a macbook, so command-line it is. But I guess my problem is, what do I forward to. I mean, I can't forward to my-home-ip:80, since the router will block that. [08:12] zauber: 127.0.0.1 [08:13] zauber: tunnels are resolved on the SSH server [08:13] Is there a text-mode DC client in the Ubuntu repositories? [08:13] zauber: that's assuming the web server runs on the same machine as the SSH server [08:13] Stevo47: DC being? [08:13] Direct Connect [08:13] Stevo47: ah [08:13] DC++ is the most common windows client [08:13] !directconnect | Stevo47 [08:13] Stevo47: Direct Connect clients: Valknut (Qt), dcgui (GTK), dc-qt (Qt, alpha), rccp (terminal-based) - See also !P2P [08:14] rccp sounds good [08:14] zauber: you could also choose to setup a dynamic forward and then point your web browser to the dynamic local SOCKS server [08:14] zauber: whatever floats your boat really [08:14] what would you all suggest for a proxy server? squid? [08:14] zauber: I prefer the dynamic forward, transparent [08:15] zauber: as for how you do it [08:16] ok, I've found that my problem with my wireless is that ndiswrapper isn't set to execute on startup. I'm only familiar with how to do this in Suse using YaST, can anyone point me in the right direction for ubuntu? [08:16] Mashi: edit /etc/modules [08:16] Mashi: by doing gksudo gedit /etc/modules [08:16] Mashi: add an entry for ndiswrapper [08:16] scguy318: SOCKS server... not familiar with it. yes, the web and ssh services are on the same machine. Am I understanding you correctly then, to say that I could: 1) ssh into my home server from my laptop "ssh me@homeip", 2) somehow get the ip address my laptop has, 3) setup the tunnel on the server to my laptop with an ssh command. (sorry for the delay and long posts) [08:16] ok thanks === T1m is now known as T1m0thy [08:16] zauber: explain #2 [08:17] zauber: dynamic: ssh user@host -p port -D dynamicport [08:17] zauber: local: ssh user@host -p port -L bindaddress:port:host:hostport [08:17] scguy318: ah... step 2 is not necessary, I was thinking wrong. Please explain dynamic ports? [08:17] zauber: the -L syntax I copied from the man page [08:17] zauber: first, a bit on SOCKS [08:18] hello all [08:18] zauber: the SOCKS protocol is basically a way to negotiate connections through a firewall, that was its original purpose [08:18] any torrent pros here? [08:18] zauber: the way it is used in SSH, it basically lets programs make connection requests through the local dynamic SOCKS port forward, and the connection requests go through the SSH tunnel [08:18] !ask | rgnr [08:18] rgnr: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [08:19] ) [08:19] zauber: so, any SOCKS capable apps, or non-SOCKS capable apps + a socksifier [08:19] ubotu: ;) [08:19] zauber: will be able to use the dynamic SOCKS server [08:19] scguy318: ok. sounds like just what I need. I'll go google for it [08:19] zauber: and thus communicate through the SSH tunnel [08:19] zauber: the ssh program has the SOCKS functionality built-in [08:19] my torrent klient doesn't upload [08:20] zauber: all you need to do is to pass in -D portnum option [08:20] scguy318: cool, so I don't need to install an extra service on the server [08:20] zauber: then point, say, Firefox to it [08:20] zauber: no [08:20] zauber: and whatever requests Firefox will make will go through SSH tunnel [08:20] zauber: real simple [08:20] rgnr: check port forward? [08:20] did [08:20] rgnr: or your dl/ul caps? [08:20] rgnr: or perhaps there are no interested peers in your torrents [08:20] scguy318: you've been real helpful. much obliged!

[08:42] jjtech: i had to manually configure it because i have a wep key (although my dhcp is auto configured) [08:43] Ndiswrapper is easy to use if you like the setup simple [08:43] jjtech: everything seems to be configured correctly but when i go to click on the icons at the top right of my screen it only shows wired network [08:44] I need help [08:44] what masterloki? [08:44] I am tring to get [08:44] patrick_: howcome you can connect IRC when you said u have no connection? [08:44] Awn to work [08:44] masterloki: what is ur problem? [08:44] anyone know why this clean line in my makefile wont works?

Manual setup works well but i want to use the gui ;-) Any doku hints? [08:45] the avant window extra to work and I am running into a problem [08:45] hi all [08:45] jjtech: any ideas? [08:46] patrick_: uhhhmm.... still trying to figure... [08:46] what happened with avant [08:46] k [08:46] anybody speaks arab here? [08:46] anyone? need some help with a makefile [08:46] !arab [08:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about arab - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:46] can't get the clean line to work [08:46] I fallowed the gudies @ https://answers.launchpad.net/awn/+question/14841 [08:47] i installed rsnapshot, went through the config file, and then edited my crontab file to include: http://dpaste.com/26698/ however it doesn't seem to be running, what am i missing? (I can run the rsnapshot manually with hourly/daily etc, and it works, but not with my crontab) [08:47] jjtech: i believe the first problem i should fix is the fact that when i click on the little computer icons in the top right of my screen it only shows wired network and manual configuration where as it should show my wireless networks [08:47] and am getting this bash: cd: awn-extras/awn-applets/awn-core-applets/: No such file or directory [08:47] what am I doing worng [08:48] scguy318: in case you were wondering how I was doing, I found that this works. afaik it doesn't use dynamic ports.

[08:49] patrick_: i think so.. but then again it might be the wireless network configuration not properly configured..maybe you overlook something [08:50] hey what is the irc command to view all channels? [08:50] jjtech: well i cant even view my wireless networks when i clikc on the icon, someone told me that my card is not in use or something like that [08:51] Anyone know any good resources for bluetooth connections?

[09:04] jjtech: what do you mean? [09:05] patrick_: network-manager-gnome [09:05] patrick_: you don't have it yet?

WEP is useless [09:07] jjtech k just one sec [09:08] but if your router can't do WPA you're fscked and should get another router [09:09] jjtech: it did a bunch of stuff and then output that wpasupplicant is already the newest version [09:09] patrick_: then type "sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome network-manager" [09:09] any one need help wiht naything [09:10] What is the command to change the keymap?

[09:27] ya [09:27] patrick_: then edit that file, delete the txts other than " lo " [09:27] mikebeecham, good luck then, give it a go [09:27] dgjones : thanks mate...I need my heroes, you see ;) [09:27] so delete everything and have only lo there [09:28] ?

[10:04] all I get is it saying "Could not enable desktop effects" [10:04] wols: i did all forwarding stuff [10:04] !sound [10:04] simmerz: you need aiglx mentioned in your xorg log [10:04] 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 [10:04] wols: even for nvidia? [10:04] rgnr: ubuntu has no firewall by default so nothing is blocked unless you installed stuff [10:04] I thought nvidia did their own implementation [10:04] dadehoog: thank you [10:04] simmerz: always. [10:05] wols: ok [10:05] simmerz: but it this implementation mentions aiglx [10:05] CaRtz: check this out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [10:05] hello good folk [10:05] wols: so i didn't installd fw [10:05] Thanks Don64. i'll try those links...

[10:07] i did that yesterday and xp was totaly erased [10:07] sachi, virtualbox, then xp [10:07] sachi, just get a new disk or partition and install ubuntu - choose the empty disk/partition. then it will install fine and on boot you will see new options of winXP and ubuntu [10:07] pookey: I've got exim4 doing local delivery working here ... [10:07] it's just that postfix config is imho much easier to grok than exim's [10:08] sachi: you actually want to install ubuntu second. otherwise XP will overwrite the MBR [10:08] simmerz: yes. you both begin with "s". sorry [10:08] wols: well, that's possibly to do with the evil things that ubuntu/debian to do the exim config :) [10:08] but i did that yeterday [10:08] sachi: yeah - install ubuntu 2nd [10:08] can someone help me with my wireless internet again i believe it should be easy to fix now [10:08] sachi: you can Install XP first, then install ubuntu.

According to the ALSA website, they only document ICH5 to ICH7... but there's a comment in the 1.0.14rc that says it supports ICH9. Does anyone know how I progress?

Is it posibble that i have a third OS (i didn`t put it there, maybe the guy from the shop), and because of that it makes the mixup?

[10:27] CajunTechie: what IP exactly? might it be that your lappie connects to another AP? [10:27] smurf, sure. is there a way for a team to manage the domain for themselves? [10:27] wols: nope, because iwconfig shows ath0 on my AP name. [10:27] CajunTechie: yes there is but it won't help when you don't get an IP in the router's LAN. man interfaces [10:27] wols: So the use of Anjuta is simply to develop C programs of any kind? [10:27] dgjones, no, it's not one of those, I have them, it's another TTF [10:27] lousygarua: yes, if official [10:27] kazil: didn't ubuntu install the grub automatically?

[10:32] rabi: heres the menu.lst http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46805/ [10:32] kazil, there is another solution, you can try windows bootloader (it may work).

[12:47] JFGI doesnt work so well with linux probs [12:47] Does anyone know if it is true that ubuntu-laptop-mode kill hard drives? [12:48] <_Garbage_> download .exe and binary of virtualbox [12:48] is there some special condition of being on APNIC that you have to have all your manners removed? [12:48] Can I get some help with VirtualBox...I have created a new WindowsXP virtual machine, and given it access to the shared folders on my Secondary Hard Drive (Internal IDE). When I start the Windows virtual machine, I can access the files on those folders, but I cant write back to them...I am told that either the drive is write-protected or i do not have permissions. Everything is ok with Linux though? [12:48] Pici: thx [12:49] how does one disable bulletproof x please anyone? [12:49] mikebeecham: there is an option to allow that action. of course you have to take care about the permissions of that folder [12:49] <_Garbage_> mikebeecham, shishirmk: check the link www.virtualbox.org/ [12:49] mikebeecham: as fixarg says, sounds like permissions - and make sure the drive itself is mounted read/write for the host OS [12:50] <_Garbage_> is it ok shishirmk ?? [12:50] gordonjcp : the drive is mounted, as I can see and view the files...i can even access them ok...I just cant seem to right back to the drive (folders and files contained within) [12:50] _Garbage_: I have looked at that already...no answers [12:50] so i should install that on windows? [12:50] oh man :( [12:50] and i can use linux from windows? [12:51] mikebeecham: can you write back to files on the drive from Linux? [12:51] gordonjcp : yes [12:51] mikebeecham: if it's an NTFS filesystem it will probably me mounted read-only [12:51] ah, well that's that idea gone then :-) [12:51] gordonjcp : it is NTFS [12:51] mikebeecham: ... but mounted r/w? [12:51] gordonjcp : yes....I can write back to that drive ok in linux [12:52] mikebeecham: hm, don't know then, maybe there's something in the virtualbox docs [12:52] <_Garbage_> yeh mikebeecham: check on there WiKi or Forum too [12:53] how about using win4lin? [12:53] SEMARANG [12:53] any1 who has used it? [12:53] weeeeiii [12:54] win4lin is not freeware? [12:54] <_Garbage_> shishirmk: can u please give link to Win4Lin ?? [12:54] gordonjcp : maybe...I will look and see [12:55] tou_grils, are you here to ask a question? [12:55] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Win4Lin [12:55] waddgadh [12:55] is it safe to have kubuntu installed on top of ubuntu === Python132O is now known as Python1320 [12:56] <_Garbage_> why not Tuxthepenguin ?? [12:56] will it use more RAM [12:56] <_Garbage_> nah.. u will be using 1 OS at a time [12:57] just more hard disk space [12:57] <_Garbage_> Tuxthepenguin: huh. [12:57] my touchpad suddenly stopped working [12:57] it will just use more disk space [12:58] <_Garbage_> shishirmk: win4Lin is just like wine [12:58] ciao a tutti,chi mi sa aiutare con mercury?il programma sostitutivo di msn messenger?ho un problema per lo piu di java..

[12:58] <_Garbage_> shishirmk: why u don't try wine, which is freeware and do same thing !! ;P [12:58] scusatemi tanto.. [12:58] well wine is not an emulator [12:59] and i tried installing using wine no use! [12:59] <_Garbage_> shishirmk: :O wine is NOT an emulator ??? :O [12:59] <_Garbage_> which s/w u want to install shishirmk ? [13:00] no, Wine isn't really an emulator [13:00] it's a set of wrappers, basically [13:00] how do i remove ubuntu [13:00] Tuxthepenguin: you keep coming in here and asking that [13:00] a driver to a infrared device [13:01] no i dont [13:01] Tuxthepenguin: format [13:01] shishirmk: wine probably won't be very helpful for that [13:01] Tuxthepenguin: : format C: :D [13:01] remove gnome from kde [13:01] Tuxthepenguin: or just thow aways the hdd [13:01] Tuxthepenguin: you simply overwrite it. boot your windows CD and run "fixmbr" in the recovery console. Then delete the ubuntu partitiona nd you are done [13:01] heh [13:01] i know i installed and tried [13:01] but no use [13:01] i think that solved it [13:02] this is one of the few times when I can legitimately suggest to someone that they open a terminal and do "sudo rm -rf /" [13:02] <_Garbage_> wols: needs fixboot too ;) [13:02] Tuxthepenguin: If you installed kubuntu-desktop, then just remove the ubuntu-desktop package. [13:02] gordonjcp: don't post that command [13:02] how do i install a program from a .tar.gz file i have downloaded to my desktop?? [13:02] gordonjcp: Don't joke about that. [13:02] can anyone help me...I need to know how to remove people like tuxthepenguin...i thought I had done it, but it's still there...and it's annoying as hell? [13:02] gordonjcp: no, why would it? [13:03] mikebeecham: /ignore [13:03] wols LOL [13:03] wols: why wouldn't what? [13:03] _Garbage_: no fixboot necessary if you have a dualboot setup. if you doN't: simply install windows [13:03] tawooh: First, are you sure that the program isnt in the software repositories. [13:03] gordonjcp: stupid nicks starting with underscores [13:03] wols: ah, nm [13:04] no clue what a repository is, speaking in linux terms... [13:04] tawooh: what program do you have a tar.gz of?

[13:15] right after i log in [13:15] that screen [13:15] KilllerKlown as in the gnome splash ? or the kernel boot splash / [13:16] the annoying brown color?

[13:16] i want to change that [13:16] KilllerKlown: just download the splash theme you want and install it with the theme/splash manager tool [13:16] KilllerKlown: the splash's are images so you can't change the colours without changing the image [13:16] ikonia: That wont change the background color. [13:16] noooooooo [13:16] exactly [13:16] what pici says [13:16] ooooh the desktop background color ? [13:16] it wont [13:16] yesss [13:17] there is a posting on the ubuntu forums regarding it. You have change a setting in one of the gdm config files... [13:17] background color right after loggin in [13:17] oooh thats in themes too, default background colour [13:17] oh ok [13:17] hang on. [13:17] no ikonia its not that i check that as well [13:17] rats, there is never a desktop around when you want one === rgnr_ is now known as rgnr [13:18] is it ok to post hyperlinks in channel? [13:18] KilllerKlown: it should be in gdmsetup.

[13:19] KilllerKlown: its on the system->admin menu [13:19] "Login manager" [13:19] or something along those lines [13:19] this will explain which file to modify. I had to do it to my desktop last week in order to get rid of the brn color. [13:20] you must change a setting in /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default [13:20] you don't have to go that far [13:20] jrib: had it right [13:20] This is a more 'to the point' thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=597282 [13:20] ahhhh [13:20] calfax u are the man [13:20] thanks dude [13:21] thanks all of u [13:21] u guys rock man [13:21] hmm ikonia...I tried to fix it that way initially....but it wouldn't work [13:22] So I had to modify the default settings instead.

[13:24] hi guys... im trying to customize ubuntu. i did all i had to do, but there's one thing left and i dont know how to do it. When i install ubuntu from livecd, it creates the menu.lst with the name UBUNTU. i wanna change it at installation time... what should i do? btw, im using 7.04 [13:25] How do I write at a lower speed with the default gnome cd/dvd creator? [13:25] logyati: you need to change the a lot to make the default name differ [13:26] ikonia, what u mean? [13:26] "change the a lot"? [13:26] logyati: why do you want to change the name "ubuntu" from the menu.lst [13:26] broken, it gives you that option before you burn [13:26] PriceChild, yea but I can't change it [13:26] its greyed out. [13:26] logyati: you'd have to change the grub package to change the name at install of the creation of the menu.lst [13:27] ikonia, cos i made a distro customized, it cant have this name at menu.lst [13:27] broken: your blank disk can have a say in that as well - some only have limited write speeds [13:27] hey guys i want to know whether initNG is suitable for 7.10 [13:28] hi there :) [13:28] someone could help me with my PPA ? :) [13:28] ere4si, yes bu usually the issue is you can't burn at a high enough spee din this case I want to burn at a low speed. [13:28] logyati: can you explain a little more, what do you mean a customised distro ? [13:28] kervala: PPA ? [13:28] ikonia, even using the live cd, should i work with grub package? i thought there was a place where i could find this entry and change to another name, inside livecd. then, everytime i install it comes with the name i choosed [13:28] !initNG [13:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about initng - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:28] lol... kk [13:29] logyati: no, as it is generated dynamiclly [13:29] sure...what's a PPA?

Im using ubuntu and reconstructor to do it. [13:29] i want to uninstall the binary nvidia drivers from gutsy and return to the config i had before [13:29] how can i do that painlessly? [13:29] broken: I have two types of disks atm and one will burn at 8x and the other at 1x - maybe the drive as well ? [13:29] logyati: does that fall in line with the ubuntu license ? [13:30] PPA = (Ubuntu) Personal Package Archives [13:30] i'm on a T61, and the binary nvidia drivers don't work with the brightness keys [13:30] meshugga: how did you install the drivers, from the package file at nvidia.com ? [13:30] Vaut mieux installer Ubuntu sur un disque dur IDE ou un SATA? [13:30] ikonia, yes, dont worry [13:30] ikonia: no, from the icon which said i can install a restricted version [13:30] aptitude i guess [13:30] meshugga: ahhh ok, you should be able to disable them in the restricted manager [13:30] great [13:30] thanks [13:31] WOW ubuntu is soon to be my primary OS. and will be installed on all of my computers... side by side with PclinuxOS .....

[13:34] vds: if you don't know where to start how do you know you can't access it [13:34] hey ikonia, yeah i wanted to know whether it would do as good a job as upstart? [13:35] if not better... [13:35] logyati: read IdleOne's comments [13:35] logyati: check out the lsb modules [13:35] mattycoze: upstart is a fork of initng as I recall [13:35] ikonia: because they are on two different network [13:35] vds: so how are you trying to access it then [13:35] ikonia ahh okay - that's kool, i was just trying to find alternatives to improving boot times [13:35] hi all is there any repository for latest nvidia drivers ?

[13:50] : RatThing afternoon fella! [13:50] my friend has a scary question... he asked me to look in the network about downgrading packages of Gutsy, installing versions of Feisty... but he wants to do it with SCIM [13:51] wols, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. S3 Unichrome Pro VGA Adapter (rev 01) [13:51] ubstud: the problem is the segfault at the end. but your card is quite shitty anyways. so I'd say: no. doesn't work [13:51] has anyone installed xulrunner-xpcom [13:51] wols: one reason this could be due to is that my Hd has some faults recently, and it purged some files. Would it be possible to refresh my entire package-system? [13:51] ubstud: and I doubt you can do compiz with that card anyways [13:51] !xulrunner-xpcom [13:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about xulrunner-xpcom - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:51] compiz?

[13:53] wols: for now not an option, it's a laptop, I will buy a new laptop in a few months [13:53] fairyeneried: Maybe synaptic should help [13:53] ubstud: s3 cards are very poorly supported under linux. 2D might be fine but I dunno if 3D works [13:53] how to installed xulrunner-xpcom [13:53] install* [13:53] user11_011: search for xulrunner un the repos [13:54] fairyeneried: And you should first know about the selection of ubuntu repo and their sections [13:54] wols, is there a way to check if mine is working fine or not? Cause I've run 3d games on here before [13:54] ubstud: under linux? [13:54] wols: i installed xulrunner but want xulrunner-xpcom [13:54] and right now it isn't wokring fine since glxinfo segfaults [13:54] yeah...before I installed the new version of ubuntu [13:54] ubstud: then you are SOL [13:54] SOL?

[14:00] thrope: ywhat version drivers are you using? [14:00] wols, still there? [14:01] fairyeneried: maybe there are lower versions [14:01] mack_sim: just updated today so should be the latest ones [14:01] btw, chaps, is there a nicer jabber im client than pidgin for ubuntu? [14:01] yes, but cause SCIM is a method for writing other language texts, i wonder if we don't damage the system installing an old version [14:01] like adium on macosx [14:01] I like Mercury for IM :) [14:01] could someone help me get the correct drivers for my video card? [14:01] something perhaps which behaves like a sidebar [14:01] thrope: which ones? the nvidia ones (restricted) or the ones from xorg? [14:02] meshugga, I recommend Gajim. [14:02] like icq on windows [14:02] here we use gajim :P [14:02] mack_sim: nvidia restricted [14:02] fairyeneried: then you follow the information synaptic give you , you should fix this [14:02] i'll try both, thanks [14:02] is there a way to get a SKYPE phone adapter working ???? its a D-link PH-50U ????? is it possible? i need it coz i have a number on skype.. [14:02] does acceleration work, otherwise? [14:02] mack_sim: i think 9639 [14:02] if, not, we must solve it through apt-get or pptitute, i guess [14:02] mahlzeit [14:03] mack_sim: yep, looks really nice - just matlab screen is blank (and actually I just found synaptic is also just black window with effects on) [14:03] glxinfo [14:03] aha [14:03] is there an irc client for the shell?

[14:05] thrope: also, there may or may not be a bug whereby your bios steals shared memory from the agp card [14:05] ubstud: in KDE, you change the file association for inode/directory entries. maybe it's similar in GNOME [14:05] !default > ubstud (ubstud, see the private message from Ubotu) [14:05] thanks LjL-Temp ;) [14:05] thrope: the old-style beryl config app had it somewhere in the first screen\ [14:05] LjL, I think you got the wrong person [14:05] ubstud: oh, sorry [14:05] it's for compatibility with stuff like firefox, openoffice and so on (stuff that doesn't really rely on window managers) [14:06] pihus, see above [14:06] np [14:06] mack_sim: hmmm, im just using the standard appearance panel for now and it doesn't seem to have many options. Is there a file to change it in? otherwise I guess I'll just leave the effects off for now [14:06] could any of you guys help me get the correct video card drivers? [14:06] thrope: wrt the bug, try specifying the amount of system memory you have allocated for the card in your xorg.conf [14:06] thrope: yes, there is a file [14:07] also docs on the compiz website [14:07] ok ill have more of a look [14:07] !ati | ubstud [14:07] ubstud: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [14:07] my relevant xorg.conf line reads like this: [14:07] Well I want to use Thunar instead of Nautilus [14:07] IdleOne, I have neither..I have an onboard card [14:07] i think ill prob leave the effects off though - i thought it was nice since it was easy to set up - but im not going to spend a lot of time it [14:07] VideoRam 65536 [14:08] but yours may be higher [14:08] Hi all.

[14:08] stib: no [14:08] how do i found the amount to put there? [14:08] What's that other audio player, amorak? [14:08] thrope: it should be set in your BIOS [14:09] under the title of AGP aperture or something like that [14:09] mack_sim: thanks. So I don't have to worry about it recursively copying itself forever :) [14:09] mack_sim: ok thanks for your help [14:10] np [14:10] help!

I ran make oldconfig and make prepare [14:39] ubstud: just a guess, perhaps there is already a .wine directory but for some reason (such as running wine with sudo) the permissions are wrong and it's not accessible from your user?

[14:40] yeah it has folders [14:40] I mean [14:40] kjp2: try re-installing the kernel [14:40] ah [14:40] btw [14:40] Hi!.

Is it copying free space as well? [14:41] i'm guessing i'm needing either nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new, not both... [14:41] stib: yes [14:41] stib: yes. [14:41] stib: yes, try partimage instead [14:41] gzip it, or use a dedicated backup program [14:41] jrib: http://pastebin.com/m5ba0d1f2 [14:41] geirha_, I've tried deleting all those folders [14:41] and it still makes a new one everytime I run it [14:41] oh, I guess it would since it's bit for bit. Partimage you say.. ta muchly [14:41] JesperHuijgens: yes, modules with modprobe [14:42] the sound daemon is probably in init [14:42] hadiaziam: use a different mirro [14:42] r [14:42] /etc/init.d/esd restart or something like that [14:42] jrib: let me try 1st [14:42] brb [14:42] '/etc/init.d/esd restart' or something like that [14:42] of course, rebooting is simpler [14:43] but highly unnecessary :> [14:43] ubstud: I'd check launchpad.net and see if there's any bug report like that allready. And I'd also try getting the latest version from winehq [14:43] "rebooting is simpler"... === BenC__ is now known as BenC [14:44] hi [14:44] anyone know if autoconf.h is deprecated in 2.4.24 ?

[14:45] jklock: as in the kernel [14:45] Because I want to know if I have to install the new flashplugin manually or if there will be a new flashplugin-nonfree soon [14:45] Karotte, keep an rss feed on gutsy-proposed. however, that won't give you advance warning for backports, i think (unless they have their own proposed repository) [14:45] Karotte: You can also search in hardy (the release after Gutsy) packages on packages.ubuntu.com, but since we're still early in the release process, its possible that it wont be updated yet. [14:46] okay, I just want to know when the new adobe flash will be released :) I'll look into the proposed updates and if it isn't there I'll install it manually [14:47] Karotte: adobe have nothing publicly pending, so it will be a while [14:48] ikonia: hm? adobe just released the new flash plugin and the flashplugin-nonfree is no longer working because of that (md5 sums have changed) [14:48] can someone tell me how modprobe works [14:48] ? [14:49] JesperHuijgens did you check the man page? [14:49] does the deskbar applet usually have a search box in the panel? [14:49] Karotte, new flash plugin? [14:49] nothing [14:49] x64?

Does anyone know why when, for example, I try to install the Java Sun plugin for Firefox, and Ubuntu asks for the installation DVD, it comes up with an error that it couldn't get all the packages (?) from the server? After that, it says something about a "Hash Sum mis match", or something. [14:58] LjL then were did ustedes go? [14:58] is it possible to open just the top of a file (for editing) with pico? [14:58] or hablais? [14:58] thor, /join #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to keep discussing this please [14:58] whats the best way to installing kde in ubuntu?

[14:59] !kde > bloony (bloony, see the private message from Ubotu) [14:59] max ways [14:59] ljl: thx [14:59] ml-db: the top of a file? [15:00] Well, than give me the knowledge to find the name of a module, the module of my soundcard or drive or what else [15:00] i want to restart or reinstall or...... my soundcard [15:00] or driver [15:00] or... [15:00] LjL: I imagine he has a huge file that takes forever to load but only needs to make minor edits near the beginning [15:00] JesperHuijgens: use lspci to identify your soundcard [15:00] LjL: let's say there's a 16gb file and i want to edit the first 100 lines in it. [15:00] genii: ah right, nano is pretty slow to load. i'd suggest using a real editor :-) (and i'm a nano user myself) [15:00] ml-db: use an editor that doesn't try to read the entire file into memory :) [15:00] LjL: opening a 16gb file in pico is quite painful on my computer [15:00] Does anyone know why when, for example, I try to install the Java Sun plugin for Firefox, and Ubuntu asks for the installation DVD, it comes up with an error that it couldn't get all the packages (?) from the server? After that, it says something about a "Hash Sum mis match", or something. [15:01] vi ftw [15:01] LjL: can you point me in any direction? [15:01] Spirotot: Because the network was not attached when you installed [15:01] LjL: ..to such an editor [15:02] Spirotot: you need to untick dvd in "Software Sources" [15:02] Awesome, thanks atlef. [15:02] And genii. [15:02] ml-db: you could head -n 16 filename, then sed your changes [15:02] ml-db, i'm pretty confident both vi and emacs are advanced enough to do that. however, i'm mostly a nano user myself, and i just wait for nano to load up usually :) and i don't edit 16Gb files [15:02] is this a soundcard :S [15:02] 00:01.4 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS PCI Audio Accelerator (rev 02) [15:03] i'd think so [15:03] Yes thats a soundcard [15:03] hmm [15:03] k [15:03] ml-db: if you are comfortable with regular expressions, that is. [15:03] JesperHuijgens: yes. [15:03] how can i restart it or reinstall it, or better, get it working :P [15:03] it was working [15:03] ml-db: you can't accomplish the edit using something like sed? [15:04] I'm running Ubuntu 7.04 Server; cron does not seem to be running. When I 'apt-get install cron' I get back the message 'cron set to manual installed'. Can anyone help me? [15:04] im not very good with regular expressions [15:04] JesperHuijgens: unload the kernel module and reload it [15:04] kjp2: yes, but how [15:04] rojo^: unfortunately not :/ [15:04] kjp2, by modprobe? [15:04] JesperHuijgens: rmmod modulename [15:04] Hi! [15:05] jamey-uk: Did you download a cron deb package and install it that way previously? [15:05] JesperHuijgens: the key is you need to know which kernel module to unload [15:05] kjp2, and the modulename is the name i just gave [15:05] 00:01.4 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS PCI Audio Accelerator (rev 02) [15:05] ? [15:05] how can i instal prefer a repository in another with apt-get? [15:05] LjL: its quite annoying cause it's a mysql-dump and i just need to change the database its using [15:05] JesperHuijgens: run lsmod to see the installed modules [15:05] LjL: so its like.. to lines to edit :-) [15:05] ml-db: then sed is definitely the best candidate [15:05] LjL: s/to/two [15:05] genii: No, not afaik. Just a relatively fresh install from a VPS image. What do I do now? None of the previously-working crontabs are running... [15:05] JesperHuijgens: then use google, to match a kernel module name to the lspci output you have [15:06] ml-db: tell us what you need to change and into what, we might be able to give you a sed line [15:06] JesperHuijgens: If you know how to use the pastebin website, the results of command: lsmod|grep snd pasted to there could be useful to examine [15:06] how come the when I issue "type" at the cli it says command not found [15:06] if i'm user x [15:06] genii: I dont :P [15:06] !paste | JesperHuijgens [15:06] JesperHuijgens: 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) [15:07] LjL: ok. two things. 1) CREATE DATABASE /*!32312 IF NOT EXISTS*/ `prices` /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 */; [15:07] dwxreaper: what shell? [15:07] LjL: it should be: CREATE DATABASE /*!32312 IF NOT EXISTS*/ `prices_bak` /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 */; [15:07] jamey-uk: Perhaps then try purge/reinstall [15:07] okay, I attached a patch for the new flash version to the open bug for flashplugin-nonfree: [15:07] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/173890 [15:08] jamey-uk: eg: sudo apt-get remove --purge cron; sudo apt-get install cron [15:08] LjL: and 2) USE `prices`; [15:08] LjL: should be: USE `prices_bak`; [15:08] i THINK/hope thats it [15:08] ml-db: are those the only two instances of `prices` in the file? [15:08] LjL: hopefully, yeah [15:08] ml-db: sed -ibackup 's/`prices`/`prices_bak`/g' filename [15:08] heh "hopefully" :) [15:09] ml-db: that will make a backup of the file in filename.backup, note [15:09] Is anyone familiar with www.psychocats.net ? We've been referred there several times for help in understanding the solution to problems, but have been unable to access it. [15:09] Pinging it returns [64.14.68.87] "General Failure" [15:09] hi! :) [15:09] Yo [15:09] jrib: ie, probably not :) [15:09] genii: okay that's great except it wants to remove my exim and other similar packages, will that mess up my email stuff if I reinstall those packages afterwards? [15:09] is there anyone who knows how I can add packages to kile 2.0 on ubuntu gutsy gibbon? [15:09] LjL: is it possible to limit the replaces to two? [15:09] madMadam, What is Kile ? [15:09] so if the file is large, which it is, it will take a while ml-db, you might want to test it on a smaller file and then avoid making the backup altogether. use "head filename >test" to create a shorter version of the file that only has the first 10 lines [15:09] I have to add utf8 package [15:10] z9999: no problem here [15:10] JesperHuijgens: because honestly, we can't help you figure out it out unless we have that same card. [15:10] e kde environment fot tex [15:10] ^a [15:10] ml-db, it is, let me look what's the most efficient way [15:10] ^for [15:11] kile is a kde integrated LaTex environment [15:11] atlef: Is my DNS address URL the same as what you have? [15:11] z9999: ? [15:11] z9999: yes it is for me, and its working [15:11] kjp2: last question then, do you think a reïnstall will work? [15:12] kjp2: of ubuntu === jorgp_ is now known as jorgp [15:12] I have two harddrives, one is at /media/sdb1 and everything I delete from it ends up in /media/sdb1/.Trash is there any way to make it go to the regular trash can where everything else I throw ends up so I don't have to choose to show hidden folders and delete the files again from /media/sdb1/.Trash to delete them for real? Showing another trashcan icon in the lower right corner would also be acceptable [15:13] atlef: If you ping that location do you see the same number, 64.14.68.87 ? [15:13] jamey-uk: If you reinstall exim and whatever else it says it wants to remove, since it's not --purge them the configuration files will still be used when they reinstall [15:14] genii: sorry, a little bit confused --purge is good? Even for exim and my config files? [15:14] JesperHuijgens: you don't need to reinstall ubuntu, just spend 10 minutes with google [15:14] z9999: yes [15:14] hey, can anybody please help with a "image_tag" syntax problem? [15:15] whats wrong with this line? [15:15] getId().'-thumbnail'.'.png'); ?> [15:15] Can anyone tell me why this (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46824/) is failing ? I have built and installed this kernel... [15:15] WOOOOOO 4 more days and i wont be online for 2 years! [15:15] jamey-uk: when you do apt-get remove --purge it also deletes whatever configuration files exist for that package. but not for any sub packages [15:15] primordial_: shouldn't you ask that question in ##php ?? [15:15] ml-db: best i can come up with, and hoping it works, is two seds, with sed '0,/RE/s/`prices`/`prices_bak`/' file [15:15] atlef: Thanks, I don't know why I can't access it, but found I can access googles cached record at least. [15:16] Can someone help me ? [15:16] genii: so if I do 'apt-get --purge remove cron' and it removes cron + its config files + exim and other few packages, the exim config files will remain, correct? [15:16] is there anyone who uses kde? [15:16] !anyone [15:16] !ask | Toolmakr [15:16] 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? [15:16] Toolmakr: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [15:16] madMadam_myr: there's certainly more of a high percertage in #kubuntu [15:17] ok I'll try there thanks ;) [15:17] Where can I find file sharing scripts for irc ? [15:17] jamey-uk: It will remove whatever cron-specific configuration files etc, but not any exim-specific config files [15:17] LjL: ok, will try right away. one sec.. [15:17] how can i automatically (with apt-get) a package from a specific repository and mantain the package upgraded from that repository [15:17] ?? [15:17] sercik, uh, add that repository to your sources.list? [15:17] Software Sources does that [15:18] hi Ljl [15:18] do you remember me? [15:18] genii: okay thank you [15:18] work, AFK 2-3 minutes [15:18] the problem is that apg-et prefer another repo [15:18] sercik: i think so :) [15:18] sercik, that will be because the other repo has a more recent version of the package, i guess [15:18] sercik, it [15:19] bacuase some people aff strange character at the end of file and apt-get think that package are newer [15:19] sercik, it's likely that you can achieve that with pinning, but i can't guide you there [15:19] !pinning > sercik (sercik, see the private message from Ubotu) [15:19] i need help because i have red that page and i'm not able [15:19] whats the deal with dolphin i mount a second drive yet still cant see the files [15:21] ml-db: did you ever get your file modified?

I thought about what you said this morning, then read up on updating wine (thinking this was the way forward)...so I'm now at a junction of decision making [15:45] ciao [15:45] i must either be asking a stupid question.. or a question that no one knows the answer to [15:45] migm: it's a busy room, I may have missed your question [15:45] Menza: Thanx worked fine.

[15:47] mrtimdog: thats a config file [15:48] Sorry, ignore me! :) [15:48] ikonia: glib header? which package is that ?

[15:54] kjp2: sorry, its hard not having an ubuntu box to be exact with [15:55] hi guys.. i use gtkpod to manage my ipod.. after i add some tracks.. all music are gone in my ipod.. but if i attach it to banshee or gtkpod all files are there.. wat seems to be the problem [15:55] i installed nvidia 169.04 beta drivers from the nvidia .run package [15:55] and with them, i get no screens at all [15:55] meshugga we don't support those drivers [15:55] ikonia: yaha but I cant even unmount the nfs mou, I can seam to find strace, errrr [15:55] when i first booted ubuntu, it had perfect support with hi res and brightness control and everything [15:55] why do you want strace ?

[15:57] ikonia: i have asked the question for medibuntu [15:57] since it is a non free codec [15:57] but maybe it could go in multiverse as well [15:58] gordonjcp : nzb files are binary files [15:58] ask: https://answers.launchpad.net/medibuntu/+question/19291 [15:58] or would su/sudo program name be better [15:58] graelin its already owned by root:disk, why chown it ? [15:58] graelin: either put the user in the disk group or change the udev rule [15:59] ikonia: you say that I have to use PPA? [15:59] PPA ?

[16:04] gordonjcp : because the nzb file is a tracker file, which 'points' to the actual files you are trying to download, such a rar files (you should read up on this reallly) [16:04] latest release still 7.10 ?

[16:30] How big is Xubuntu to download? [16:31] Marcusklaas: usually under 700MB. [16:31] but check out what you are d/l.. it will tell you. [16:31] ah k [16:31] nevermind, guess there's one way to find out. write huge file to /tmp [16:31] Terminus: 'mount' will tell you where yours is. [16:31] damn. no kernel modules compile in ubuntu against 2.6.24 [16:31] Is Xubuntu noticeably smaller than Ubuntu? [16:32] Marcusklaas: the iso or the install [16:32] The install [16:32] i dont know about smaller..it Is faster.. [16:32] mrtimdog: yeah, but i'm not really familiar with how tmpfs works. i just want to make sure i don't run out of space in /tmp because of some absurdly large file operation. [16:32] mrtimdog: and i just tested it, mount still reports an increase in usage of /. guess i'll have to reformat and make more space. [16:33] How come the Ubuntu iso is under 700mb but the install is liek 4gb? [16:33] hi, i just downloaded 7.10 desktop and i wanna run a hash check to see if its ok but i cant find anywhere a hash [16:33] has anyone else noticed random freezing up of keyboard and mouse in gutsy?

Why does Kexi not appear on the 4th workspace? [16:38] grr. I'm really starting to dislike ubuntu [16:38] deathblooms: It won't fix it, it'll only list what processes hold a lock on the package database. What's listed in the leftmost column? [16:38] is learning programming languages easier in linux? [16:38] Tupsik: no [16:38] Why kjp2? [16:38] can anyone suggest another audio ripper on than sound juicer? [16:38] ikonia: harder? [16:38] Tupsik: no [16:38] other* [16:39] ikonia: the same? [16:39] Tupsik: yes [16:39] :) [16:39] mrtimdog: leftmost column ?

[16:39] kjp2: Using 2.6.24? [16:39] Pici: Yes [16:39] deathblooms: The column on the left of the output from the 'sudo lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock' command. [16:39] kjp2: Perhaps because we dont use 2.6.24. [16:39] Pici: i have to. to support my sata array [16:40] ikonia: is learning and using php easier/harder/the same in linux as in windows? [16:40] kjp2: Its not really an Ubuntu issue then. [16:40] Tupsik its a cross-platform language so it doesn't matter [16:40] ikonia: I am talking about tools [16:40] Pici: perhaps. i'm not convinced. [16:40] had anyone have the modem busy problem in gutsy? [16:40] Tupsik: the same again [16:40] mrtimdog: when i put that in command it dont bring up nothing [16:41] ikonia: is ubuntu faster than windows? [16:41] Tupsik: no [16:41] slower? the same? [16:41] huh? [16:41] slower [16:41] Tupsik: its totally different operating system [16:41] especiallly the destkop [16:41] Tupsik: it depends what you do/how you do it [16:41] UBUNTU DESKTOP IS SLOW AS HELL [16:41] Tupsik: Depends on what you're doing,it can boot way faster, but, its different [16:41] Marcusklaas: there is no need for caps, and thats not a fact [16:41] Marcusklaas: I have issues with the screen going gray as well :) [16:41] lol you can clearly tell when j00 drag a window [16:42] it's slow man [16:42] Tupsik: it can be loads faster, at least here [16:42] Marcusklaas: j00 ? [16:42] you* [16:42] Tupsik: its personal use / config that determains that along with hardware levels of supportability [16:42] hi [16:42] why I cant install php5-cli package?

I used to have an ATI Radeon 9800 and since ATI used to have worthless drivers (hopefully that'll change soon) the GUI felt really slow, now that I have an internal intel graphics card with free drivers everything is fast and smooth.

[16:44] no i just mean .. when you drag a window you can see the trail of white behind it [16:44] Like maximizer for windows that sort of thin [16:44] Marcusklaas: Yup, I know what you mean [16:44] malocite, try evolution [16:44] Cavallo: What version of Ubuntu are you running? [16:44] malocite, http://www.pimlico-project.org/contacts.html [16:44] Cavallo wow, that looks like a package is broke, but I'm using it so it can't be [16:44] bruenig: thank you.

[16:46] do they? [16:46] Marcusklaas: probably wont have that much of a difference if your computer is that slow in ubuntu--fluxbuntu might be a better choice [16:46] Thanks ikoma [16:46] Marcusklaas: Mine did, don't know about yours [16:46] hey ppl, i installed gutsy and i get no dialtone error in kppp and wvdial [16:46] sorry [16:47] Pici: did you get my last msg ?

I have a lesser nvidia card the 7300 and it smokes [16:48] Tupsik, yes, this is probably the best one for that [16:48] n2j3: some motherboards with jmicron will require kernel options [16:48] Ok, here's another question. i've installed ubuntu on a tablet pc, but nothing shows up on the screen? i hear the sound .... so X is launching... just don't see anything [16:48] Tupsik, mostly because it's not such a hassle to get codecs for the video and such you'll be watching online [16:48] bazhang: no dude it aint slow but just with the dragging you can see the ghosting behind it .. its just not as smooth as windows [16:49] n2j3: search launchpad.net and you'll find examples [16:49] anyone play with jeOS [16:49] argh, you're killing me ikonia . does that mean compiling kernels and what not? [16:49] how do you increase the time before your windows go gray? [16:49] * n2j3 is a noob [16:49] n2j3: no, that means passing a 1 line option in your boot.lst [16:49] i tried irqpoll and irq=nopoll [16:49] Nilbus: but I already have everything configured in windows already [16:49] same results [16:49] n2j3: why did you try them ?

[17:48] us robotics usr5422 help wanted, can't get on internet with it [17:48] ted0816: sure [17:48] Guillem_: aham, the Hello world i know but i thought is more complicated [17:48] Terminus, because /bin/sh is different across distros and especially for ubuntu it is linked to /bin/dash which is a limited shell that doesn't support a lot of bash syntax [17:49] bazhang: also i tried installing rtorrent and it doesn't show up anywhere in my system [17:49] do i have to do something [17:49] ted0816: rtorrent is cli only [17:49] how i can unmount all usb devices which connected to computer? [17:49] Terminus, #!/bin/bash is a better one or whatever the shell actually is, don't link to some dangling symlink that can change over distros [17:49] umount* [17:49] mafsi, no, really. Then you have loops, pipes, and lots of stuff that allow very complicated things. [17:49] whats cli? [17:49] ted0816: command line interface [17:49] ted0816: command line interface [17:49] mafsi, but simply batching some commands is really straight forward [17:49] oh, and ktorrent is gui? [17:49] ted0816: i.e, its a terminal program, its not going to show up in a gnome menu. [17:49] ted0816: yes. [17:50] * Guillem_ has to go. [17:50] k kool thx, ill try out ktorrent [17:50] bruenig: just thought #!/bin/sh should be ok since i haven't seen one that's not bourne compatible.

[18:25] i mean that I changed some setting when I first logged into xubuntu and now I log in to a blank screen [18:25] what sort of setting? i mean, xubuntu doesn't use GNOME it uses xfce [18:26] talisein: thanks [18:26] obviously I'm new to ubuntu [18:26] everything I know is from google searches and I'm not getting anywhere [18:26] ok so how do I get xfce back to its defaults? [18:26] poe what specific settings? === Joh2 is now known as Sam1337 [18:26] bthornton: http://www.howtoforge.com/local_debian_ubuntu_mirror [18:27] talisein: awesome, thanks! [18:27] I changed some obscure setting, but afterwards all my icons disappeared and my control bars and then when I rebooted I get the yellow screen after log in [18:27] i don't know which - something to do with dsiplay or graphics [18:28] bthornton: hrm, reading some more that creates a mirror of the entire repository, you probably don't want that [18:28] talisein: yeah [18:28] but perhaps there is a way to tweak/adapt it? [18:29] poe: it would really help to know what setting changed, but there's probably a way to clear your user settings [18:29] unfortunately i don't know xfce to tell you what that might be, i could tell you how to clear ALL of your settings, but that may not be... desired lol [18:29] bthornton: one way would be to nfs up the /var/cache/apt/archives dir [18:29] bthornton: You probably want to look into apt-cacher [18:29] bthornton: so they they all download and then isntall the debs from the same folder, so only one would have to download [18:30] bthornton: also check out http://apt-proxy.sourceforge.net/ [18:30] bthornton: that would also make it so that only one machine could be running apt at a time also, so auto updates and other things like that would have to be fiddled with maybe [18:31] can anyone rip with sound-juicer on gutsy when your not root (no sudo privileges)? [18:31] bthornton: apt-cacher sounds easier lol [18:31] DShepherd: i've done it fine as my user on feisty, haven't done it on gutsy though [18:31] yeah I'll have to look into these... [18:31] bthornton: they're all in the repos iirc. [18:32] Does anyone know which is the "nogroup" equivalent in Ubuntu? [18:32] or the "nobody" group equivalent?

[18:33] DShepherd: it might be his groups, make sure you and him are in the same group (obviously without admin) [18:33] DShepherd: same groups* [18:33] kelsin, checked that also [18:33] what is the error message? [18:33] that's pretty wierd [18:33] talisein, give me a sec [18:34] DShepherd: have you tried running sound-juicer from the terminal? some apps output there as well, might have some useful info, anywho i gotta run [18:34] Ademan, yeah i have (he left) [18:35] i dont get anything on the command line. not sure if i am passing the right arguments though [18:35] ademan - that would be desired as I have no settings yet [18:35] hello [18:35] !backports [18:35] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports.

I was trying to start the ruby on rails server, and it warned me that port 3000 is already in use. I portscanned it, and it says that it's indeed in use, although - and here comes the weird part - by an "unknown" program. I just hope Ubuntu's not becoming the next Windows Xp. [18:47] DShepherd: you could change the permission with chmod, but you'd have to do that every reboot. there must be something else. Can he run cdparanoia from the console? [18:47] talisein, the permissions on the sym link all have write, read and execute permissions.

[18:58] ne samba experts here [18:58] deadlock: use sudo to prefix the command. [18:58] DShepherd: when you said other uses who can use sudo can run sound-juicer, did you mean by running "sudo sound-juicer"? [18:58] shishio: would you be averse to doing a bit of reading first? [18:58] talisein, no [18:59] i mean they have the ability to do sudo stuff [18:59] talisein, but not run sound-juicer as sudo [18:59] bazhang_, ill do that, GOOGLE POWER!! heheh [18:59] DShepherd: ok.

[19:01] Lafitte-: Yes. [19:01] !generic | Lafitte- [19:01] Lafitte-: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed) [19:02] talisein, i am sshed in.. but I am not using sound-juicer [19:02] speaking of synaptic I have a package question - I need sunbird .7 or later for the google calendar to work - but the latest in the repositories is .5. I could build from source but then I have an application that I can't remove and have to hand make an icon for. Is it possible to build to a .deb so I can cleanly remove and upgrade later? [19:02] !checkinstall | Giftmatcher [19:02] Giftmatcher: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [19:02] i messed up something during the apache and stuff installation [19:02] kazil, apt-get purge then reinstall apache and "stuff" [19:03] kazil, apt-get purge actually [19:03] DShepherd: sshing in shouldn't be a problem. I think I'm stumped on this one. You might want to post a bug to launchpad saying that the user can run cdparanoia but sound-juicer complains about access denied. [19:03] MasterShrek thank you [19:03] by interrupt do you mean run any programs or just don't do something like a shutdown? [19:03] talisein, yeah, i just want to make sure its not a me problem. you said a normal user ran sound-juicer fine your machine? [19:03] Giftmatcher: sunbird .7 is in the repos for hardy, might also be good to backport it, which is a really easy process as well, if the by-hand source doesn't work, the hardy package probably has some nice ubuntu-changed [19:04] talisein, though your machine has been thru a lot :-) [19:04] DShepherd: oh, acutally I didn't test with a non-sudo capable user. hold on [19:04] Giftmatcher, like shutdown [19:04] talisein, ok. [19:04] Pici, ok i see that... how do i get around the 686 requirement to install from apt ? [19:04] okay. I'm off to it then.

[19:09] isn't 5.10 like, dapper? [19:09] is utorrent with wine a bad idea?

Let me check. [19:09] there used to be a web site that offered a bunch of how too's. Is there such a page still ? [19:09] bqmassey: lots of people use wine + utorrent, should be fine [19:10] talisein, any luck? [19:10] euxneks, MasterShrek, 5.10 was breezy badger afaik...

[19:11] for wireless network [19:11] dissident, have you checked the wifi compatibility guide? [19:12] . [19:12] . [19:12] MasterShrek, that was warty? [19:12] yeap [19:12] hi all [19:12] kelsin: what will ido to use ubuntu again? breezy is old but it still works [19:12] shishio: http://www.ntfs-3g.org/index.html#installation [19:12] yes on prism 54 websit they say it should work [19:12] the first ubuntu release [19:12] dissident, but they dont say how to use it? [19:13] kane77 prism54 website says it should work, but the driver they give has .arm extension [19:13] that is complicated man [19:13] kane77, MasterShrek: you guys have used Ktorrent on GNOME? [19:13] maybe someone here has a prism 54 driver [19:13] bqmassey, yeap, it runs just fine, and kde program will run in gnome, and vice versa as long as it has the required libraries [19:13] hi can someody help me with my toolbar user interface issue? [19:13] s/and/any [19:14] bqmassey, yes.. I find it slightly better than deluge... deluge sometimes showed incorrect stats...

[19:17] o [19:17] lol [19:17] ok [19:17] talisein, i wish you could too [19:17] shishio: the problem is that 5.10 is compeltely unsupported which causes two problems 1) none of us are using it so we don't know how to easily mount ntfs in breezy and 2) I know I don't want to do the research to doing it cause I havn't used breezy since dapper came out [19:17] !enter | shaan [19:17] shishio: can you not download the cd? to slow of a connection?

[19:18] shishio: well days < the month you've waited for the free shipit cds [19:18] shishio, tried torrent for it? [19:18] shishio: have you got a ubuntu users group in your area? [19:18] or even linux users group? [19:18] they might be able to help out too [19:18] shishio: or check out your local library, they will often help you download big files too [19:18] dorcarin, i thought it worked out of the box, but try disk and plugdev [19:18] MasterShrek: i think im the only one who is using ubuntu on the city... im in the philippines... most of the people are microsft [19:19] matttis: I cannot find it in an Ubuntu documentation. Ubuntu has implemented the requirements as specified in RFC 1305 (and its predecessors 1059 and 1119). (RFC - Request for comment). [19:19] I wish I had a linux users group in my area [19:19] euxneks: im the onlyone in the area uses ubuntuT_T [19:20] kelsin: lol, iwish libraries here are that kind [19:20] shishio, have you tried using torrent to download the iso? it may be faster than downloading it from one centralized location [19:20] * MasterShrek should really be seeding that... [19:20] shishio: any friends with faster broadband? Even if not the download will eventually be done [19:20] shishio: check out #ubuntu-ph [19:21] MasterShrek: hmmm... iso? i dont know how to use an ISO file... thats the problem of beiing newbie [19:21] hi everyone. i have no sound using skype on ubuntu 7.10. it worked find using kubuntu but i can't seem to get it working under gnome. any ideas? [19:21] shishio: do you have a cd burner? [19:21] Pici: lolx [19:21] euxneks: yes [19:21] shishio, an iso is a cd image that gets burned to a cd [19:21] Pici: #ubuntu-ph, nobodys home Zzz... [19:22] Pici: #ubuntu-ph, nobodys active there [19:22] sudo apt-get build-dep karm -> E: Build-dependencies for karm could not be satisfied. [19:22] MasterShrek: any links where i can download this stuff? [19:23] anybody know how I can get a list of what's missing? [19:23] MasterShrek: i hope breezy badger can burn ISO [19:23] shishio, it can [19:23] shishio: better than the channel not existing at all. [19:23] shishio, ill get you a link, do you have a torrent program? [19:24] Users with plugdev You can see it mounted but you are not allowed to work with usb memory. [19:24] MasterShrek: i dont know [19:24] People, why might I be getting Permission Denied errors, even when the file has read rights? [19:24] zstars: what are you trying to do? [19:24] shishio, i think it came with one by default, if not ill help you install it [19:24] Pici: im alone in my countryT_T [19:24] shishio, http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent [19:25] shishio, save that file to your desktop [19:25] Run some program, I think it chroot's a certain folder, and I have a "lock" file within that folder which it tries to read to, from (I think) user nobody, at usergroup nogroup [19:25] MasterShrek: how many hours u think it will take? [19:25] But for some reason, it can't read the "lock" file, it fails with a Permission Denied error [19:25] shishio, i have no idea [19:26] shishio, but its generally faster than downloading an iso the normal way [19:26] zstars: make sure the users has executable permission on the directory [19:26] zstars: in case that's it, after that I would check with the authors of the software [19:26] MasterShrek: the .iso.torrent is now on my desktop... what will i do next? [19:27] shishio, if you click on it does it have a program associated with it? [19:27] MasterShrek: yes, it starting to download [19:27] hi -- got a basic question about device drivers. I just bought a USB wireless adaptor that is supposedly supported by the driver zd1211rw. What do I do? [19:27] good news :) like i said it should be faster [19:27] MasterShrek: 15 hoursT_T [19:28] well less than 1 day =P [19:28] XD [19:29] MasterShrek: thanks, after this how will i burn ISO on my CD? [19:30] hello [19:30] shishio, umm, lemme do a bit of research for 5.10 [19:30] mw-home: that driver is included in the linux kernel, I believe it's included in the ubuntu kernel. When you plug in the usb adaptor and run "lsmod" in a terminal that driver name should be in the list. If it's not then you have more work to do to get it installed [19:30] MasterShrek: okey, ill be here to check it out [19:30] 4Hqc5wi [19:30] hi. I am new to Ubuntu Server and was looking for some help. I don't know if anyone here is familiar with Server or if there's a channel for that specifically, because I looked and cannot find it [19:31] mw-home: have you tried this yet? Does it not "just work" out of the box? [19:31] hello, since i changed a windows partition name, ubuntu desnt recognize it. What can i do? [19:31] gutsy-newb, whats your problem? [19:31] gutsy-newb: most things are not different from server/desktop, mainly which packages are auto installed by default [19:31] is there a gui app for seting up mount points? [19:33] español?= [19:33] español? [19:33] I have server 7.04 (feisty) loaded on VMWare player, and it seems to run ok. first off, I'm a newb and don't know hardly any commands. but to get straight to the point, I want to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10. I've googled all day, and figured out how to specify my proxy (export http_proxy=....), then do sudo apt-get update (and dist-upgrade, etc.).......BUT when I did sudo do-release-upgrade, it comes back and does not update [19:33] hello [19:33] hello, since i renamed a windows partition, ubuntu doesnt recognize it. What can i do? [19:34] alejandro: install ntfs-config [19:34] grub will not boot xp [19:35] san|: already did that but nothing [19:35] nothing what? [19:35] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=631020 [19:35] so I did more google searches, one of them said to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file, and replace any word 'feisty' with 'gutsy'. I did that, rebooted, tried to sudo apt-get update, but get error 404 on ALL of the repository links [19:35] kelsin: I ran lsmod | grep zd1211 and I see my driver. [19:35] thast my problem [19:36] any ideas what I should do now? [19:36] I did /etc/init.d/networking restart, but I still can't get out. [19:36] san|: doesnt find the partition [19:36] shishio, do you have a command line program called cdrecord? [19:36] alejandro: hmm.. ask someone else.. I have to go.. sorry [19:37] mw-home: are you running a gui? or just command line? [19:37] hello, since i renamed a windows partition, ubuntu doesnt recognize it. What can i do? [19:37] kelsin: command-line. [19:37] mw-home: ok then we can try completely manual commands first to make sure we can get it to work, first run "iwconfig" and make sure it shows up [19:37] trying to install ubuntu on a 7-year old laptop. install succeeded, now I just need an internet connection. [19:37] MasterShrek: hmmm... idont know [19:37] How can i get grub to see windows xp? [19:38] kelsin: iwconfig printed lo and eth0. eth0 shows somethng. [19:38] MasterShrek: where can i fond cdrecord? [19:38] shishio, type cdrecord in a command line and see if it says "command not found" [19:38] ive went and changed the menu.lst === stuart is now known as stuart- [19:38] mw-home: ok then you can try "sudo iwconfig eth0 essid " [19:38] huhu [19:39] mw-home: and then "iwconfig" again to see if it caught on and has an access point mac address [19:39] kelsin: let me go look up my essid. [19:39] TheSohnly: can you pastebin your menu.lst? [19:39] MasterShrek: cdrecord: No tracks specified. Need at least one. [19:39] Usage: cdrecord [options] track1...trackn [19:39] Use cdrecord -help [19:39] to get a list of valid options. [19:39] Use cdrecord blank=help [19:39] to get a list of valid blanking options. [19:39] Use cdrecord dev=b,t,l driveropts=help -checkdrive [19:39] to get a list of drive specific options. [19:39] !pastebin | TheSohnly [19:39] TheSohnly: 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) [19:39] Use cdrecord dev=help [19:39] to get a list of possible SCSI transport specifiers. [19:39] sry [19:39] shishio, ok thats good, you ahve it [19:39] have* [19:40] MasterShrek: then what? === max477 is now known as max182 [19:40] just wait for your iso to download, and ill give you the command in a minute [19:40] i ahev no ide4a what your taling about [19:40] mw-home: it's just the access point name that you are trying to connect to, like at Umass mine used to me "UMASS" [19:40] im on windows right now [19:40] because among the grub problem, i haev a internet problem [19:40] kelsin: is that the ssid that I set up inside my router? [19:40] and a graphics problem [19:41] hi there [19:41] so i just want to fix one at a time [19:41] guyz i am using x-chat(not the gnome version), i enabled the hide menu option by mistake. how do i get it back? [19:41] TheSohnly: you said you edited your menu.lst, to help you it would be great to see what you have in your menu.lst, so I asked you to pastebin it, then I got the bot to give you the link to the pastebin [19:41] MasterShrek: i have 4 and a half hours left [19:41] shishio, cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=/dev/cdrom ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso [19:41] shishio, good news, much faster than expected huh? [19:41] :) [19:42] MasterShrek: yep, thanks for your help BTW [19:42] not a problem [19:42] kelsin: i can not use pidgin on my laptop [19:42] it wont let me [19:42] hello, since i renamed a windows partition, ubuntu doesnt recognize it. What can i do? [19:42] im using another computer [19:42] TheSohnly: ok well, I apologize but without being able to see what your menu.lst says it's kindof hard to help debug it [19:43] kelsin: i have a post on ubuntuforums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=631020 [19:43] #ubuntu.pl [19:43] mw-home: yes [19:43] kelsin: i am Mr.Wellington [19:43] anyone? [19:43] kelsin: it has all of the information [19:43] kelsin: ok, thanks for all the help. I did that, and now, sudo iwconfig eth0 shows a different ESSID field. [19:44] I have a question. I'd like to download the .deb of sunbird for hardy but it wasn't were I expected. Can someone give me a hand please? [19:45] * MasterShrek will brb [19:45] sal [19:46] TheSohnly: is /dev/sda2 a primary partition? [19:46] I don't know if I messed up the /etc/apt/sources.list all I tried to do was change any 'feisty' to 'gutsy' [19:46] mw-home: so when you run "iwconfig" it looks good? If that's good just run "sudo dhclient eth0" and see if you get an ip and are good to go [19:46] guyz i am using x-chat(not the gnome version), i enabled the hide menu option by mistake. how do i get it back? [19:46] mw-home: if so then you're on your way to editing the config files to do that on boot automatically [19:46] kelsin: how do i find this out? [19:46] and now i get error 404 when I tried to sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [19:47] kelsin: another fried told partially set this up for me [19:47] hello, since i renamed a windows partition, ubuntu doesnt recognize it. What can i do? [19:47] hi all [19:47] hi [19:47] hi i am trying to use my usd hard drive to my ubuntu box [19:48] but it says readonly file system what is the way [19:48] to make it writeable [19:48] Is there a deb of the latest rTorrent 0.7.9 I believe? The rTorrent in the repository is too old, and it does not support DHT and peer exchange. I'm having tracker timeouts issues. [19:48] TheSohnly: on your fdisk output it looks like you have two ntfs partitions and one w95 one, do you know which one your actual windows drive lives on? [19:48] SpookyET: hardy has 0.7.8 is that high enough? [19:48] SpookyET: eh, to get dht in rtorrent you'll have to compile rtorrent from svn. [19:48] kelsin: my xp lies (i think) on /dev/sda5 [19:49] TheSohnly: that's the issue, people told you that on the forums, grub can't boot windows from an extended partition [19:49] I'm so tired. Bed tiem. Night! [19:49] void^: It's not in the latest release: 0.7.9? [19:49] kelsin: so how do i change this? [19:49] hey... lately im having some problems with the Network manager, lots of messages when i restart/shutdown my comp. now i ran ubuntu, and suddenly i dont have the network-manager icon at the top bar, i needed to connect manualy using 'ifup'. what could be the problem? [19:49] whats should i do to config my network correctly, and to restore the Network-Manager's icon back to the top panel? [19:49] hi anyway to make the readonly file system writeable === LinuxShadow is now known as Shark [19:50] kelsin: I'll take 0.7.8 if it's not the one on the ubuntu forums which has a dependency issue. [19:50] SpookyET: i don't think so [19:50] mushtaq: what read only file system? === Shark is now known as Sh[a]rk [19:50] kelsin: running sudo dhclient eth0 printed "no DHCPOFFERS received" [19:50] SpookyET: If you want to try .7.8 you should read up on how to backport a package, it's pretty easy, involves adding the deb-src lines to your /etc/apt/sources.lst then running "apt-get build-dep && apt-get source --compile " [19:51] SpookyET: rtorrent 0.7.9 release is r997, dht support was merged in r1013 [19:51] mw-home: but "iwconfig" alone does have the eth0 card on the right essid with the right mac address? Obviously it's a stupid question but you know this router is handing out dhcp offers? [19:51] void^: That sucks. What about peer exchange? [19:52] kelsin: I suspect maybe my router is not handing out dhcp offers. [19:52] SpookyET: pex has been supported for a long time now [19:52] Hey, is there any way to change the acceleration of the touchpad? [19:52] anyone know a fix for the firefox scrolling issue with the new fglrx? [19:52] mw-home: then you have to configure your router as a dhcp server, that depends on your router, should look up it's documentation [19:52] i've installed qsynaptics but it doesn't let me change the speed [19:53] kelsin: gotcha. do i need to turn off wep, at least for now? [19:53] mw-home: if you have wep on that could be it [19:53] mw-home: if you knwo your wep key run "sudo iwconfig eth0 key " then try dhclient command again [19:53] is there a way to obtain the make/configure options which I can use to manually make the source, obtained by apt-get source pkg, in a similar way as apt-get install pkg? [19:53] kelsin: you rock [19:53] void^: peer exchange is not supported in the ubuntu version [19:54] hei [19:54] what command i must use when echo dont work ? [19:54] can anyone help me with my touchpad? [19:55] skar: with what [19:55] i've installed qsynaptics but it doesn't allow me to change the speed of the cursor [19:56] mw-home: did that work? [19:56] kelsin: no. am going to turn off my wep for a little while and try. [19:57] mw-home: sounds good, most of these commands are also on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo that could help debug, but yes eliminating variables is a good diea [19:57] mw-home: idea* [19:57] SpookyET: strange, 0.7.8 should have pex support [19:58] hi [19:58] hi [19:58] kelsin: i will look at that page [19:58] question, does anyone know how to make compiz work with intel x3100 [19:58] Runithad: any ideas? [19:58] does anybody what is the file that keeps the apache configuration? [19:59] marcioapf: several. [19:59] look at sites-available/default [19:59] cause I'm trying to figure out how ubuntu/apt-get managed to install SoQt with Qt4 support [19:59] hey, i recorded a stream file with vlc to ogg file and now when i'm trying to play it i get in the console "overflow in spectral RLE, ignoring" and i can't hear a thing, how can i fix that? [20:00] is there linux support for intel x3100 chipset? [20:00] Can someone plese help with intel audio? I've tried to re-compile alsa, but i'm getting errors (eg. "unknown symbol snd_ctl_elem_write") when I type dmesg [20:00] mw-home, ok [20:00] Baroquen: is there a reason you recompiled [20:00] marcioapf: and the other main one is /etc/apache2/apache2.conf [20:01] kelsin: yes - my sound didn't work after I re-installed, so I installed the latest alsa drivers as per the help guides... [20:01] kelsin: I had to do the same last time to make sound work... [20:01] how do I give my my user permissions over files created by apachee? [20:01] Baroquen: does your card use the snd-intel8x0 driver? [20:02] sanguisdex: make sure apache writes them group writable (maybe change umask to 002) then add yourselve to the www-data group [20:02] please help I have no icons ( icons are in ~/Desktop ) also I don't have right mouse button menu [20:02] sanguisdex: obviously there are security things to consider here if you need to [20:02] this may not be an ubuntu question, but: I've got my ubuntu machine config'd with a static IP address, but the wireless router I use (Actiontec MI424/Verizon) isn't showing a hostname for it (and it does for those nodes that are dhcp)... any ideas? [20:03] kelsin: i've got the ICH9 chipset... I think the driver is snd-hda-intel. By the way, alsa compiled correctly. this occurred when I did a sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel [20:03] cherva: is this on a default ubuntu (gnome) install? [20:03] any ideas on how to change the touchpad speed? [20:03] I am suddenly (mid-session) getting a "SELinux was found but is not enabled" error when trying to start Gnome-System-Monitor. I can not start several other applications, including Epiphany, either. Am I in security trouble? Using Gutsy 32-bit [20:03] kelsin yes [20:03] does anyone run ubuntu on a dell laptop here? [20:03] Hasher: i do [20:04] Baroquen: it seems like you are missing some of the kernel sound elements, did you have to recompile the kernel at all last time? [20:04] skar which model? a vostro? [20:04] http://tree.schwippy.com/ [20:04] no - but last time I started with gutsy beta when I installed. This time I installed from the official release [20:04] kelsin:no - but last time I started with gutsy beta when I installed. This time I installed from the official release [20:04] cherva: double check that the option in gconf-editor under apps/nautilus/preferences/show desktop is enabled [20:04] skar: have you been able to enable extra effects? [20:05] Kelsin: basicly I am trying to import a bunch of files in to an svn repo and the import fails on the log files. IS there a better why then adding my self to the group to do this [20:05] Hasher: what kind of extra effects? sorry, i haven't been using linux for long, so I probably can't help.... [20:05] Baroquen: mind poisting the tutorial / forum post you were following? [20:05] kelsin, oh ok. This helped a lot =) [20:05] skar: compiz fusion [20:06] kelsin, (you told me where the conf file of apache is, if you don't remember) [20:06] Hasher: i haven't tried running that yet...i'm not sure if my laptop can handle it either [20:06] skar: thanks anyway [20:06] kelsin: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting was one of them. the others very quite similar... [20:06] kelsin it is , I think xsnow made something wrong because i installed it and after a reboot my icons died [20:06] sanguisdex: you need to get read permissions (and probably write) on the files, so either add yourself to the group or look in apache configs at having it output the files and chown them to a new user [20:06] does anyone run ubuntu with and intel x3100 chipset here? [20:06] anyone have experience setting up Xen 3.1 (desktop-amd64 on Intel VT is preferred) [20:06] Hasher: no problem, sorry i couldn't help [20:07] Hasher: by the way, did you have touchpad problems on your laptop? [20:07] cherva: make sure nautilus is running (should be able to run nautilus on the terminal) make sure xsnow is off and not running when you do this [20:07] skar: nope never [20:07] AgentHeX: what's the issue? [20:07] Hasher: ah, alright [20:07] skar: which laptop do you run? [20:08] Hasher: latitude d400 [20:08] kelsin: when i reboot, it goes through the loading process but when it blacks the screen to show the login screen, it stays black and flashes my caps lock and scroll lock keyboard lights. [20:08] skar i installed gutsy on latitude 630 but no touch pad issues [20:08] kelsin nautilus didn't worked now my icons are back :) can you explain to me how nautilus is responsable for my icons i think that nautilus is just a file manager [20:09] AgentHeX: never heard of that, this is just after install the xen packages and setting grub to boot the hypervisor? [20:09] Hasher: ah i see [20:09] cherva: is manages the desktop as well in gnome [20:09] Hasher: cool, thanks anyways [20:09] kelsin thx thanks [20:09] cherva: you normall run "nautilus --no-desktop" to have it NOT take over the desktop [20:09] people, i`m loosin` my mind here... [20:09] i installed ubuntu-xen-desktop-amd64 from Synaptic and followed this guide to a tee: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-7.10-server-install-xen-from-ubuntu-repositories [20:09] this freekin amp just doesn`t won`t to work [20:09] cherva: but it's the process that controls the gnome root window by default (unless you have that registry entry set) [20:10] kelsin nice thanks for the useful info :) [20:10] kelsin: do you want me to recompile the kernel? [20:10] AgentHeX: can you hit ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a console when it's doing this? [20:10] kelsin: haven't tried [20:10] Baroquen: no no no, I honestly don't know yet, havn't read the sound page you posted yet [20:11] kelsin: gotta reboot to find out. [20:11] kelsin: ok - i'll wait :) [20:11] AgentHeX: at that point if you can you can look at some logs to hopefully find what the error is [20:11] kelsin: so, I studied the iwconfig eth0 output more closely. clearly, the wireless adaptor works somehow because I see my router's MAC address listed. === BilleniumZzZ is now known as Billenium [20:12] I am currently having a problem with gutsy on EMT64, where I am getting random freezes and lockups? === dwhsi3 is now known as dwhsix [20:12] hello, since i renamed a windows partition, ubuntu doesnt recognize it. What can i do? [20:12] kelsin: the only thing i could notice before it went dark is that the CPU frequency scaling wasn't working right. but i don't know how that could affect the boot sequence [20:12] Baroquen: so I assume the "Getting the ALSA drivers from a *fresh* kernel" part of that page did not work? [20:12] kelsin: i'll check out the ctrl-alt-F1 and see if i can't get anything out of it. [20:12] thanks [20:12] I am suddenly (mid-session) getting a "SELinux was found but is not enabled" error when trying to start Gnome-System-Monitor. I can not start several other applications, including Epiphany, either. Am I in security trouble? Using Gutsy 32-bit. Anyone? [20:13] mw-home_: if that's the case, and you have wep off, but dhclient doesn't get an answer I would double check that the router is setup to be a dhcp server and hand out addresses [20:13] kelsin: I downloaded the drivers, utils and libs from alsa web site (1.0.15) - and that appeared to go ok... no errors were generated that I detected. [20:13] kelsin: strange though - the ICH9 was not listed in alsa. it rated a mention in a change log for 1.0.14rc [20:13] hi ill soon run a ubuntu-laptop and plan to stream audio to my desktop to have it on my stereo-amp, can you recommend software to do this? [20:13] Is there a way to make Tracker index Thunderbird email? I'm not sure if it works at all. I can't find my pdf files and it had 2 days to index my system. tracker-status does show that it did something. [20:14] I dd'ed a pata disk to a sata disk but I can't boot from the sata disk: grub error 22 (no such partition) [20:14] hello all [20:14] I am running nvidia 169.04 driver and the kernel is 2.6.22-14-generic and VMWare as well [20:14] Baroquen: well unfortunately I have no idea bout the kernel error you get while modprobing. My only advice is to remove the stuff from alsa with make install, and then try the ubuntu packages from gutsy quickly and if that doesn't work follow that site again to compile the drivers looking for errors. You can use the "script" program to save a copy of your whole install session so you can grep it for errors after [20:15] does anyone know how to change the speed of the touchpad? i've tried qsynaptics but it doesn't allow me to change the speed [20:15] im trying to install a hardy package can anyone give me a hand on how to get it? [20:15] did you try the mouse preferences? [20:15] yes, they don't affect the speed [20:15] kelsin: how do I remove the stuff with a make install? can you point me to some instructions? [20:16] maybe you have to restart [20:16] just X? or a full reboot? [20:16] Giftmatcher: it involves (basically) three steps, 1) adding the deb-src line for hardy to your /etc/apt/sources.lst 2) running "sudo apt-get build-dep " then 3) "sudo apt-get source --compile " [20:16] kelsin: well, thanks for all the help. I know my router is handing out DHCP leases because I just connected with my windows laptop. I am going to work on this for all. [20:16] i always reboot but im a windows usr [20:16] * a while later. [20:16] okay. Thanks [20:16] ah, alright, i'll try that out, thanks [20:17] Baroquen: by definition there isn't a way except looking for what it installed and hoping it installed to easy places, if you're lucky the package might have a "make deinstall" or "make uninstall" target [20:17] Hey guys I have recently installed Xubuntu 7.10 on my laptop and am trying to use my netgear wg511t card but I need help.. === JJ|Laptop is now known as joeyjones [20:17] kelsin: I think a re-install is easier :) thanks for your help... [20:17] Baroquen: obviuosly sometimes you need to install from source but generally it's better to exhaust other options. If you have to you either check that the package has a uninstall and can use checkinstall to help make a deb of the package. That page you linked me also talked about instlaling alsa from source from the ubuntu package, which is also a good idea, if that actually helps the issue [20:17] kelsin: no dice [20:18] when in doubt: dpkg-reconfigure [20:18] kelsin: but it does refer to my partition as hda. it's a sata drive, though, so that might be a problem. ubuntu boots fine outside of xen. [20:18] hard to resist the upgrades [20:19] hey... [20:19] #ubuntu-pl [20:19] duguram1: why are you resisting, join us! ;) [20:19] i like 7.04 [20:20] does anyone know how to determine what wireless card im using?

[20:25] techs dont need passwords silly [20:25] jimjam: write them down on a peace of paper :) [20:25] jimjam, put a password of securemelater and tape a piece of paper on it [20:25] ty: what do you mean "download a scroll bar on a chat site?"

[20:51] Is it possible to get 3D acceleration on SiS 760 card? [20:51] dole: you are doing [20:51] yeah i know [20:51] where can u find the xorg.conf file? [20:51] my client doesnt highlight [20:51] gays plz why do wine or cxoffice hang up my ubuntu ? [20:52] can anyone run iTunes on UBUNTU??? :) [20:52] ikonia like that? [20:52] jk__: Hmm, in some senses it seems to be slower, atleast last time I benchmarked it, year ago [20:52] cuz wine is crap [20:52] aladinsane: does "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep glx" yield anything? [20:52] jk__: But it has developed much since then [20:52] chester_martins_: try gtkpod [20:52] chester_martins_: it's nasty, use amarok [20:52] dole: yes I can see you fine [20:52] i have to mention the nick to talk to someone in "yellow"? [20:52] bascule...but amarok on gnome is slow... [20:52] dole: it makes it easier to spot things addressed at you [20:52] huss: read it from tty1 [20:52] what is crap, and thx 4 reply [20:52] use windows then [20:52] For some reason when i specify a static ip address for my lan adapter, then try to ping another computer on the same network i get an error of "network unreachable" which tells me that the adapter has began to use the ip i told it to [20:53] to spot? [20:53] wine is crud [20:53] portablejim: nope, noting but: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep glx Load "glx" [20:53] B-rabbit: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:53] what file can i edit to control the kernel modules loaded at boot? [20:53] ikonia: looks like flashplugin-nonfree was already installed, but I reinstalled it and now it works, Thank you for your help [20:53] It's getting late. I'm going to go. Bye! [20:53] HateX: try adding a default route [20:53] i understand [20:53] bascule now do you can spot me easier? [20:53] yes [20:53] bascule ok! [20:53] ikonia: is it possible to to get 3d acceeleratiion on sis 760 card [20:53] bascule thanks! [20:53] bascule, i do but i shouldn't need a default route if im pinging a node on the same subnet [20:54] thats the questioon [20:54] wassup drunknmunky [20:54] portablejim hey, you offered me help with the graphic card right? [20:54] HateX: well maybe not ... [20:54] Ah [20:54] bascule, i tried to simulate the problem here at my house of all of the sudden it's working now. [20:54] jk__: http://www.linux-gamers.net/smartsection.item.56/virtualbox-vs-qemu.html [20:54] forb4d3...i don't have ipod === n33dhelp is now known as AcidBurn [20:54] i want because is the best mp3 organizer that i know :p [20:54] jk__: Some benchmark, seems vbox is better than vmware [20:55] dole: have you given me a model for the graphics card? [20:55] suva: well, qemu has historically been very slow [20:55] portablejim it's an Intel 82865G graphic card [20:55] jk__: Not when using kernel drivers [20:55] chester_martins: then no [20:55] suva: i would think xen would be a better bet .... but i'm very happy w/ vmware [20:55] portablejim and i'm trying to install the drivers [20:55] chester_martins: you cant buy songs from itunes from linux [20:55] took me 4 days to install windows in qemu before it crashed [20:55] is somebody know any viruses on linux? [20:55] general Q: is the x server in ubuntu equivalent to the explorer.exe in windows...i mean does x server does the same job as the explorer.exe in windows [20:55] yea, i think vmware is a great choice [20:56] aladinsane: you have to add some lines so your xorg.conf (I'll just find out what the lines are). [20:56] syan66 virus don't work the same in linux as they do in windows [20:56] Can someone please help me out? Here's the story... I have two hard drives. One with Ubuntu and one with XP. Ever since i installed linux i havent been able to get my drive with XP to boot Windows. I am to the point that I just want to get my XP back. When I try to boot with just the XP hard drive connected, it gives me an error "Error 21: Selected disk does not exist". The recovery cd I have for XP does not let me have the [20:56] jk__: Anyways I have had no problems with perfomance on virtualbox [20:56] b-rabbit: no. [20:56] forb4d3: I thaink you can using pymusique, you just need an account already open [20:56] does anyone know how to specify a range to scan using nmap? [20:56] portablejim: ok thnx a lot [20:56] nomojob: put a windows XP cd in and use the "fixboot" option in recovery mode [20:56] x.x.x.x-x.x.x.y doesn't work [20:56] dole: I think you have to get the source for graphics driver, http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/install.html [20:56] ikonia, I know it. Any another type of activity? [20:56] jk__, what is the job for x server then? [20:56] dole: Unless I know what model of graphics card you are trying to install I can't help you. [20:57] dole: what card do you have [20:57] hatex I think it's x.x.x.x-y [20:57] syan66: pardon ? [20:57] jk__: And last time I used linux guest on win machine on vmware I replaced it with vbox because vmware was much slower and didn't want to install guest additions [20:57] b-rabbit: it's the base of windowing [20:57] VSpike, thanks [20:57] gunner_sr thanks [20:57] dole: what card is it you have [20:57] ikonia intel 82865G [20:57] ikonia: it doesn not give me an option for that [20:57] b-rabbit: gnome,kde, enlighthenment, etc.etc. all sit on top of x [20:57] dole: you don't need to get any additional drivers for that [20:57] portablekim i gave you the model [20:57] hatex: it's been a while though [20:57] ikonia look [20:57] nomojob: boot from a windows XP install cd and use "recovery" option [20:57] dole: no problem, generally intel graphics drivers should work with linux out of the box. But this will give you the latest version. [20:58] ikonia i have a game that requires 3d acceleration, i have 3d acc but i can't open the gamne, simple as that [20:58] Gunner_Sr: why does he need the later version ? [20:58] Gunner_Sr thanks man! [20:58] dole: yes, that is simple, changing the drivers will probably do nothing for you to fix that [20:58] VSpike, yes your right it works cheers [20:58] nomojob, enter the recovery console and type: fixmbr [20:58] (off the xp install cd) [20:58] HateX: yeah, you can also do e.g. 10.0.0-5.1-254 [20:58] ikonia i'm new at ubuntu [20:58] ikonia: http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-010512.htm [20:58] dole: http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-010512.htm try this as well. [20:58] HateX: you can also do 192.168.1.0/24 [20:58] ikonia so, why are the drivers for download.. :S [20:58] ikonia, I know, that viruses do not work under nix* as well as under windows. But it work some another way? [20:59] Gunner_Sr why are you showing me that link [20:59] Thats my problem. The cd doesnt give me a command line [20:59] VSpike, i see [20:59] dole: for intergration into later versions of xorg [20:59] Gunner_Sr thanks, look, i downlaoded them but in order to compile it, i need to install xfree86 [20:59] dole: no you don't ! [20:59] HateX: you can also 192.168.0.* [20:59] what is the name of the best DVD player in ubuntu? [20:59] ikonia sure? [20:59] it takes me to a GUI that lets me replace system files with or without formatting [20:59] !dvd [20:59] DVD player [20:59] ankur: xine [20:59] 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 [20:59] nomojob: boot from the windows XP recovery cd [20:59] ikonia i read thta [20:59] dole: %150 [21:00] is there a command to empty trash? [21:00] dole: tell you what, do what you want [21:00] ikonia lol, and when i compile it says that i need the latest kernel modules [21:00] eniveis, helpful, bye [21:00] dole: because you have no idea what your doing [21:00] ikonia haha, yeah i'm new [21:00] im bob dole [21:00] ikonia i know that ubuntu doesn't recognize the 3d acceleration [21:00] duguram1 and? [21:00] aladinsane: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46882/ [21:00] bascule, thanx [21:00] ikonia: when i put in the cd it takes me to a GUI that lets me replace system files with or without formatting. thats is all the options I have. I cant do anything else with that cd. it seems it is useless to me right now. [21:01] dole: do what you want [21:01] hi, quick question: my ubuntu, server edition, refuses to shutdown or reboot after a few days of running. i'm using # reboot and # shutdown -r now and neither works. anyone got any idea or need more info? [21:01] nomojob: join ##windows and ask for XP install cd support [21:01] ikonia hey please help me, i don't know what to do [21:01] ianq: what happens why you try the shutdown ? [21:01] ikonia you say i don't have to install a driver?? [21:01] ikonia: "Broadcast message from root@inetserv [21:01] (/dev/pts/0) at 8:23 ... [21:01] The system is going down for reboot NOW!" [21:01] ikonia: show you the intel graphics support. an FYI. [21:01] but it doesn't reboot or shutdown [21:02] Gunner_Sr: I'm well aware of it [21:02] ianq: does it just do nothing [21:02] Gunner_Sr now i¡'m looking at the pages sorry [21:02] Gunner_Sr: advising someone to get later drivers for no-reason is not wise [21:02] ikonia: correct. i can still use it as if i had done nothing [21:02] ianq: anything in theh syslog ? [21:02] portablejim: and i could/should add those 3 lines anywhere in xorg.conf? [21:02] What is a good free partition program? [21:02] where's that? [21:02] ikonia: huh? [21:02] ianq: /var/log/messages [21:03] Pollman: gparted [21:03] ikonia no reason you say?? [21:03] Pollman: depends what you are used to [21:03] ikonia it wouldn't fix my problem? [21:03] ikonia: nothing recently. these are the most recent entries: Dec 1 06:27:20 inetserv syslogd 1.4.1#20ubuntu4: restart. [21:03] Dec 1 06:46:42 inetserv -- MARK -- [21:03] bascule, I want to make my ubuntu partition significantly smaller [21:03] ikonia: if the graphic support is not there out of the product, then what other options do you have? [21:03] int0: check "who -r" see what your current run level [21:03] dole: opena terminal and say glxgears, if you are > 1000fps, thats as good as it gets [21:04] Pollman: you want gparted [21:04] bascule i read something about that, thanks, i'll try [21:04] Hi, trying to get apt-cacher installed on ubuntu. Seems to install fine but i can't browse to http://localhost:3142. Tried to restart the service and it says unable to bind socker (port 3142) Any idea why? [21:04] bascule, will it run in vista or will I have to boot into ubuntu? [21:04] Pollman: man it's ubuntu based [21:04] Pollman: my knowledge of free win software is weak [21:04] bascule, yeah I see that now [21:04] bascule hey i did it [21:05] why do i eat cupcakes [21:05] bascule it's woring at 500 fps [21:05] bascule :( [21:05] !offtopic >duguram1 [21:05] aladinsane: I think it should go below " # Uncomment if you have a wacom tablet" (between the sections) [21:05] portablejim: by the way, i already had those lines: Section "Module" Load "glx" Load "GLcore" Load "dri" Load "v4l" EndSection [21:05] ikonia: any idea? [21:05] dole: that is pretty low, but maybe as good as you get, 865? [21:05] ianq: apologies I missed your last respone [21:06] ikonia: nothing recently. these are the most recent entries: Dec 1 06:27:20 inetserv syslogd 1.4.1#20ubuntu4: restart. [21:06] Dec 1 06:46:42 inetserv -- MARK -- [21:06] ianq: do a "who -r" and check your run level [21:06] bascule 865 what? fps? [21:06] dole: no intel 865 [21:06] bascule oh [21:06] hello, all. i'm a user of moderate linux experience, and i'm just setting up ubuntu on my work comp (Dell Optiplex 320, dual-booting with windows xp), and now that the install is done when i choose ubuntu i just get a black screen with a blinking cursor and can't do anything. i had to do acpi=off to install, but that's in the boot command too. google isn't helping, anyone able to gelp? [21:06] bascule the model it's 82865g [21:06] ikonia: run-level 6 2007-12-01 08:14 last=2 [21:06] ianq: now that is interesting [21:07] bascule 865 reffers tyo the model? [21:07] ianq: your run level has changed to 6 (reboot) so it should be going down [21:07] dole: yeah, maybe 500 is your lot ... [21:07] it's been trying to reboot for three days now? [21:07] portablejim: thnx for the effort but i got to go give GF some loving :) I'll deal with it tomorrow [21:07] bascule so what can i do to fix this??? [21:07] dole: it osn't broken [21:07] command for emplying the trash bin anyone? [21:07] ianq: just having a little ponder, as you are "going down" so to speak [21:07] figured out my own answer the file is /etc/modprobe.conf to change which kernel modules are loaded on boot for those wondering [21:07] isn't [21:08] aladinsane: Bye. [21:08] bascule but shouldn't work over 1000fps? [21:08] bascule i have 3d acceleretion in my card [21:08] well I forgot what card you have [21:08] bascule windows recognized it perfectly [21:08] ikonia: it seems to keep on doing this quite a bit. any clue as to why? it works just fine within the first few days after the last reboot, but once the machine runs for a few days it starts doing this and i have to power it off by hand. a linux system shouldn't do that [21:08] dole: it is a reasonable rate for the card you have [21:09] ianq: what does your server do ? [21:09] ianq: what is its function [21:09] bascule.. oh ok.. but there is sth i don't understand, for example, when i installed cedega transgamming.. it did't detect 3d acceleration, same as a game i try to play.. [21:09] ikonia: lamp + cron jobs [21:09] ianq: ok can we try a few things [21:10] ikonia: i control it thru SSH from my laptop on the road occasionally [21:10] ikonia: ok :-) [21:10] ianq: lets shut down apache/mysql manually first of all [21:10] quick question: what is the next expected LTR? [21:10] err LTS [21:10] ikonia: one moment [21:10] ianq: do you know how to do that using the init scripts [21:10] dole: well I am not sure why, cause that is an acceptable score for an 865 [21:10] !lts [21:10] ikonia: no [21:10] ikonia: please explain [21:10] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [21:10] ianq: sudo /etc/init.d/apache stop [21:10] porkchop_: I think the next one is hardy heron.. ie the one coming in april [21:10] ikonia: oh, sure [21:10] ianq: cool [21:11] dole: perhaps they will only run on nvidia and ati ... [21:11] I'd like to have an information about password storing on Ubuntu [21:11] ikonia: [21:11] root@inetserv:/# /etc/init.d/mysql stop [21:11] * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld [fail] ahaaa [21:11] bascule but i am talking about 3d acceleration,m is it involved with the score? [21:11] anyone have any advice for why i just get a blank screen on startup with my new ubuntu install? [21:11] anybody know of something like winscp for linux? a gui for sftp/scp ? [21:11] ianq: I think we have a winner ;) [21:11] dole: can you install and run celestia and foobillard? [21:11] ikonia: why does it do that? [21:11] JerekDain: running with a nvidia 8800? [21:11] bascule windows detects 3d acceleration and everything works just fine :S [21:11] ianq: can you check the mysql log ? [21:11] ikonia: yes. one moment [21:11] bascule and what are those? [21:11] I have created a VMware virtual machine for the sole purpose of P2P (MLDonkey+Azureus), configured to block IP addresses of known anti-P2P organizations...

But when I try to create a Disklabel by goin into GParted > Device >Set Disklabel....it says that "WARNING: Creating a new disklabel will erase all data on /dev/sda! "...and my ubuntu is installed in /dev/sda i think...is there a way around this....help needed plz...thanx [21:12] dole: one app and one game that will test the graphical performance [21:12] Slart: ATI Radeon x1300... it's not completely blank, i actually get a blinking cursor, and the kernel just appears to not load...

[21:13] bascule no i dont have celestia installed [21:13] ikonia: empty [21:13] dole: install them first in synaptics, they will show in the menu [21:13] bascule ok i'll try [21:13] ianq: tell you what, lets start mysql manually [21:13] gidna_: they plan to fix the sound once for all the next version :-) [21:13] Slart: we stripped out the commands for quiet and splash... do i have to specify no splash screen or should removing the call for it have done it? [21:13] they who? [21:13] ikonia: don't we have to stop it first? [21:14] gidna_: the manitees [21:14] ubuntu developers [21:14] Slart: also, it seems like it's not even looking for the kernel. we don't hear the HDs spinning at all, and tab completion is selecting the right kernel [21:14] JerekDain: removing the SPLASH word in grub's menu.lst should do it.. [21:14] you have the same pronblem? [21:14] Anyone know of a workaround for the grep -P problem? [21:14] ianq: try starting it [21:14] Slart: yeah, then we tried that [21:14] bascule hey, in synaptic i couldn't find celestia and foobillard :S [21:14] ikonia: # /etc/init.d/mysql start [21:14] * Starting MySQL database server mysqld it's hanging here, not doing anything [21:14] bascule i'm in the live cd 7.04 [21:14] i guess many have similar problems [21:14] JerekDain: does the live cd work?

I tried using the default BitTorrent Clinet but if I try to download a 12GB file for example it says too many files open and then it wont download. I tried to use different clients such as deluge, bittornado, ktorrent, azureus, but they all freeze up my pc after some time causing me to have to reboot. Is there a way I can fix this, I think it has something to do with the open f [21:16] iles thing. [21:16] Slart: how would i do that? though i really think it's not a video problem because i can see the cursor fine, it's just not doing anything, not even an error message.... it really looks like it's just not loading the kernel [21:16] ikonia: did you get my last message?

I have a question about beagle and (intermittent) network drives. Maybe someone here can provide som answers, because I can not find them anywhere else.... [21:19] ikonia: so i just changed it to 12/4/07 which is not yet reflected in the log files [21:19] bascule: they don't do support, -es does [21:19] I have been having problems in Ubuntu with torrents. I tried using the default BitTorrent Clinet but if I try to download a 12GB file for example it says too many files open and then it wont download. I tried to use different clients such as deluge, bittornado, ktorrent, azureus, but they all freeze up my pc after some time causing me to have to reboot. Is there a way I can fix this [21:19] ianq: ok, there are a few possible issues here [21:20] LjL: thanks, just didn't know the .ar country of origin [21:20] hi, I have a problem with Gutsy, sometimes my keyboard stops working with windows. After closing the window it starts working again. Any idea what this bug could be? I have it on 2 computers now :S [21:20] ianq: want to go throguh them [21:20] i guessed right :) [21:20] JerekDain: hmm.. now when I'm looking at my menu.lst.. I have the switch "nosplash".. perhaps you should try that before we do anything else [21:20] ikonia: absolutely. i appreciate your help so far [21:20] Slart: ok, i'll try that on my coworker's machine (so i won't have to leave chat - i'm on my windows partition right now) [21:21] ianq: no problem, ok first things first, the date issue, it may not seem a big deal, but having the wrong date can be a real problem [21:21] JerekDain: do that.. and remove the "quiet" switch if it's there.. [21:21] ianq: second thing, it looks like mysql is starting up then hanging which is causing the shut down problem [21:21] I have been having problems in Ubuntu with torrents.

Maybe someone here can provide som answers, because I can not find them anywhere else....

[21:22] anyone for a kubuntu vmware appliance ? [21:22] im not in a hurry soz for giving that impression [21:23] Hi, sorry to be a bit of a hassle, I've pretty much got my ubuntu system on the go, but I need help with installing Flash 9... could I be such a pain and ask for help?

[21:24] but cant find a solution for it [21:24] I'm a complete linux newbie looking to install ubuntu. Is there a page anywhere that lists differences between the Desktop and Server editions?

[21:25] ikonia: oh. i think it just restarted [21:25] toshiba A135-S7403 [21:25] thanks bascule, ubotu [21:25] JerekDain: I wouldn't think so.. lilo or grub should only deal with the absolute first part of the startup.. after that it's the same afaik.. there are probably howto's out there for switching back and forth [21:25] ianq: now try to stop it [21:26] Slart: though windows wasn't crazy about ubuntu's changing of the partitions the first time around. :P when i got back to windows it forced a somewhat lengthy uninteruptable disk check on next boot [21:26] ikonia: one moment. it's in the process of coming back up [21:26] Hi; I'm trying to build amsn from svn but it can't find my tcl build dir. I got tcl8.4-dev installed, what might the problem be then? [21:26] ianq: no problem [21:26] Slart: yeah, i'm just wondering how to tell ubunto to install over the same partitions... [21:26] lusepuster: you won't find a build dir as its pre-compiled [21:26] Anyone know of a workaround for the grep -P problem? the perl compatable regex is unsupported [21:26] ubuntu* [21:26] user1: you would be better of using what works for you until maybe Hardy comes out... its LTS and will more likely have those issues fixed [21:27] user1: unless you like experimenting [21:27] JerekDain: well.. you might have to do some manual reconfiguration before you'll be dualbooting etc.. [21:27] ikonia: it might have shut down. brb, gotta go to the basement [21:27] ianq: ok [21:27] Paddy_EIRE: LTS? [21:27] ikonia, thx - will try and figure out a workaround if there is any [21:27] damn... and the default automatic dual-boot with grub seemed to be working so nice... [21:27] paddy: 6.06 sound works fine, ubuntu is going backwards not forwards [21:27] !lts | bascule [21:27] bascule: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [21:28] Paddy_EIRE: thanks [21:28] Ahh, still having problem with the Flash [21:28] user1: no its not [21:28] Hi. Is anybody use a HansaWorld Enterprise? [21:28] lusepuster: ok [21:28] no ideas on the grep question? or did i miss the reply [21:29] Paddy_EIRE: lts also support 5 years if i patch desktop on server install ? [21:29] user1: things get updated and sometimes it has a knock on affect with other things... although its impossible to get things just right the first time around for everyone [21:29] mage2: what is -P issue? [21:29] Excuse me, I'm still having problems with my Flash. I'm still getting to grips with the terminal... [21:29] ikonia: ok. i'm back. # /etc/init.d/mysql stop [21:29] * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld [ OK ] [21:29] bascule: grep does not have the -P option supported. its the perl compatable regular expressions [21:29] Slart: well apparently we're going to try grub2... i'm off to reboot to the live cd and see how it goes. thanks a lot for the help. :) [21:30] ianq: ok, thats looking better [21:30] arcdarkwolf, that is why I gave you the instructions on how to install flash in the url: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash [21:30] mage2: perl -e 'some stuf that looks weird' ? [21:30] I have a Desktop LiveCD up and running in my laptop right now, but the Install application is taking *hours*. It could be that my disc drive is wonky but I figure I'd ask if anyone else has seen this. If all else fails I'll try the text-mode installer. [21:30] ianq: now can we do the same from cron [21:30] ikonia: please explain [21:30] Is there a mythbuntu channel yet? [21:30] ianq: sudo /etc/init.d/cron stop [21:30] ompaul, I read the document up and down, I still don't know what to do [21:30] bluntz: I don't think so [21:30] ikonia: done [21:31] bluntz: /j #mythbuntu, is it just you? [21:31] bascule: -e is close but not the same. i read that 11/07 the ubuntu team said they were going to fix it but can not find a workaround or any progress [21:31] ianq: now can we try "shutdown -r now" [21:31] it's rebooting now [21:31] /j #mythbuntu, is it just you? [21:31] ianq: thats better :) [21:31] lol [21:31] mage2: no idea, sorry [21:31] arcdarkwolf, from the menu - system - administration - synaptic package manager search for "flashplugin-nonfree" and install it [21:31] lazy me [21:32] ikonia: ok, it's back up [21:32] Hi, anybody using Bluefish HTML editor, who can tell me how to turn off the automatic appending of closing tags? [21:32] where does the ubuntu set the runlevel? The next time I reboot, I don't want to start X. [21:32] im having an issue. Everything i load has a gigantic title bar and huge maximize and minimize buttons [21:33] ianq: ok - thats interesting, I think you have a problem with mysql hanging [21:33] mw-home_: boot in recovery mode (from the grub manu) [21:33] Orion: change your theme then [21:33] ianq: that appears to tbe the core of the problem [21:33] ikonia: yeah ;-) what can i do about it? [21:33] My wireless stopped working when I tried to connect to another network. [21:33] ianq: well, first thing you can do is wait for it to happen again, then strace the mysql process [21:33] ompaul, oh I see, thanks. I was kinda lost before [21:33] ianq: you can up the log level in the "my.cnf" file [21:33] arcdarkwolf, enjoy [21:33] paddy_EIRE: I am using the default theme [21:34] !fixres | Orion [21:34] Orion: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[21:34] ikonia: do i want to uncomment "#log = /var/log/mysql/mysql.log" ? [21:35] ianq: thata a good start [21:35] ikonia: ok, done [21:35] ikonia, this is not strictly Ubuntu, but if I have to point to tcl-binaries in the configure script, would that be the /usr/lib/tcl* dirs or the /usr/bin/tclsh* dirs, you happen to know that? [21:35] well theres an ubuntu-mythtv channel [21:35] lusepuster: it would be the binaries [21:35] not the libs [21:36] exist a SO based on linux to my nokia 6630? [21:36] ikonia: do you think it's a software or a hardware problem? [21:36] ianq: I would assume software, but it's hard to tell without more info [21:37] why dont i have a /dev/modem on laptop [21:37] ikonia: alright. i've had a problem with this for a while, also under gentoo a few months back [21:37] ikonia: i originally blamed it on gentoo and hoped that under ubuntu things would be better [21:37] ikonia: i guess it wasn't my gentoo install ;-) [21:37] ianq: hardware (memory) is a good first look then [21:37] ikonia: how?

Some reason it doesn't like my mirror country [21:38] I have [21:38] ikonia: i have to install it first? [21:39] ianq: no - just boot from the livecd [21:39] d-i mirror/country string United States [21:39] ianq: at the boot menu there is "memtest" option [21:39] hey guys i have a serrious problem, i booted up today and my external hard drive made this clicking noise and it just keeps doing it, i fear the worst. what do i do? [21:39] ikonia: is there any way that i can just install it? i have no clue where the live cd is ;-) [21:40] ianq: I think its installed with all desktop version, so I would assume its in the server version too, check in your /boot/grub/menu.lst see if you have a "memtest" option [21:40] !alsa [21:40] Dankchild, back it up asap [21:40] 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).

It [21:41] err [21:41] ikonia: yes. i uncommented the line memtest86=true [21:41] ianq: reboot and select it from your boot menu [21:41] It's like a freeze, only in reverse. Everything still works (visually speaking, downloads continue, etc) but I can't move the mouse, and the keyboard doesn't respond. [21:41] Evening chaps [21:41] is there a disc/partition manager available in ubunty. [21:41] If I Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, will my downloads (firefox) stop? [21:41] ikonia: i can't - there's no monitor to my server. it's just the box hooked up to the network ;-) [21:41] ubotu: erUSUL: thks [21:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about erusul: thks - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:41] *ubuntu [21:41] shaft0, yes [21:41] ikonia: is there any way i can monitor it thru ssh? [21:41] ianq: you'll need to get a monitor then [21:42] MikeH: gparted? [21:42] ianq: no, its a boot option [21:42] ikonia, I have tests that show that is not a 100% fault catcher, [21:42] ianq: it boots a little binary [21:42] ompaul: go for it [21:42] usser: so any idea as to why my mouse/keyboard would freeze? [21:42] ianq: tag, ompaul is in [21:42] tried plugging them in and unplugging them, doesn't fix it. [21:42] ikonia: ok. thanks [21:43] shaft0, can be for various reasons, is the picture changing at all. or is it completely still? [21:43] ianq, got yourself a monitor? the thing is that you need one for it, however be aware that it is not 100% reliable for memtesting it is a great guide [21:43] the picture is changing as normal [21:43] ompaul: yeah i have a monitor [21:43] hrm [21:43] ompaul: i'll see if someone got a spare keyboard around here haha [21:43] download rate changes, progress updates, etc, just can't move the mouse or keyboard. [21:43] ompaul: is memtest intuitive or is there anything i should know in advance? [21:43] im going to try plugging in a USB mouse and seeing if i can move it with that [21:44] hello, do any of you use Jabber on Pidgin ? [21:44] ianq, connect it and you can disconnect from your machine and boot it - on the fly - it is very obvious [21:44] shaft0, hm, right try it [21:44] Is there anyway to find out what controller a hd is running on? Or diferentiate between controllers? I have 2 discs on one sata controller, 1 on another, I need to erase the 2 on 1. [21:44] weird, works fine. [21:44] so I have an svn repo on my server and I want apache to be able to modify it, so I chmod the dir -R 777, but when I create a new file, it automatically gets -rw-r--r--. why? [21:44] ianq: you shouldn't need a keyboard, you can use "grub-boot" to reboot into memtest [21:44] (this is in /usr/local/svn) [21:44] hi, is anyone else having problems with network-manager-openvpn and a static key ? [21:44] I can't find a way to set a priority for a resource in Pidgin [21:44] but the other mouse still won't work. The mouse/keyboard is PS2, and isn't working, but USB is working fine. [21:44] ianq: grub-reboot rather [21:44] ianq, the test itself if very obvious let the machine sit there for a few hours and it will try all sorts of tests and show failures if it finds some, I found that installs can prove ram very quickly [21:45] I think the Pidgin developers just forgot that feature for Jabber [21:45] ianq, if you have a spare drive hanging around and have issues installing it is usually ram [21:45] shaft0, u should file a bug report [21:45] LjL: #grub-reboot brings memtest up? [21:46] ianq, you reboot the box and it will be obvious in the grub menu [21:46] ompaul: tell you what - let me hook up the server to a monitor quickly [21:46] how do I go about doing that? first issue i've had with ubuntu :P [21:46] ianq: no, it just lets you choose which GRUB menu entry to boot from. choose the memtest one. (look at /boot/grub/menu.lst to find out which it is) [21:46] ianq, do it carefully [21:46] nm i can rtfm and figure out how to do it [21:46] you dont need to baby me that far ;) [21:46] Please, has anyone use the Portable VNC viewer? I could need some help! for PSP.. [21:46] cheers [21:46] if I installed ubuntu to an external hdd on one amchine and then plugged the hdd into another machine, would the ardware be detedted and configured reasonably well? [21:47] If I download a .jar file (java installer), what program should I use to run it? [21:47] bascule: well all installations of ubuntu uses the same kernel and modules [21:47] sulo: java? [21:47] bascule: Xorg is another history [21:48] LjL ok=! [21:48] thanks [21:48] What's my best bet for a PCI wireless card with good linux compatibility?

[21:51] ompaul: ill take a look, thanks [21:51] LjL haha. yes [21:51] *lol* [21:51] sulo, well, that's the error that's given when the file is not found. are you sure you're in the right directory?

[22:13] bakarat: amarok, that is all [22:13] join ubuntu-it [22:13] Having the same babe showing on all desktops is a bit monogamous for me.

[22:13] off topic [22:13] can anyone help me with a video capture card? [22:14] amarok has no equal in Gnome world? [22:14] srsly.

[22:14] yes I thought so [22:14] Pollywog: amarok has no equal anywhere on any platform [22:14] personally I think rhythmbox is great [22:14] answer meh [22:14] I prefer vinyl [22:14] Pollywog: i think there's exaile [?] but i may be wrong on that, and from what i hear, it's not completely up to snuff though [from what i hear] it does come the closest [22:14] gordonjcp; it only lets me select 75Hz (which is what the monitor wants) - or are you referring to something else (like xorg.conf modelines) [22:14] LjL: perhaps because such a "best" hasn't yet been created?

[22:15] amarok insists on well tagged files to get the full enjoyment from it, that scunners some people [22:15] can he not? [22:15] what's foobar? [22:15] gordonjcp: audacious is a better alternative to xmms [22:16] more gnome friendly [22:16] riotkittie: i don't know, it's not natively portable, possibly over wine [22:16] audacious is xmms [22:16] bakarat, even then, why didn't all the others at least jump on the wagon and become developers of that "comparative best" program? people are mentioning amarok, i'm not particularly fond of it because i find it *too* bloated with features for my likings. features are definitely not all the same in all music players, amarok is quite an example of that. someone yesterday was mentioning that quot libet was the only one they knew about that could mass-rename [22:16] files based on id3. so, see, features do change. [22:16] theLichKing: yeah, I should look at that some time [22:16] grub-install gives error "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device."

[22:17] LjL: I can't help myself, amarok does that too, very well [22:17] gordonjcp: it's a media player. nice. basic. no nonsense. at least it was when i used it way back when. [22:17] I kinda find 3 different music programs on gnome that have 99% the same feature set to be a bit annoying/redundant [22:17] but that was eons ago [22:17] http://www.foobar2000.org/screenshots/index.html [22:17] hi all! plz help me someone how to install .sh files in terminel? [22:17] heh, it looks like rhythmbox ... :P [22:18] jimmygoon: totally agree. i think someone should do something special, like, ohidunno, remove the 'play' feature from one of these players [22:18] oh man i hate that [22:18] jimmygoon: and you don't find it redundant that more than 100 distributions exist [22:18] ?

[23:01] pike_, Linux dell 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Sun Sep 23 19:50:39 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux [23:01] ompaul, from where shall I do apt-search? [23:01] pike_, it gave me just that [23:01] gracias [23:01] cocox: 32 bit then, i686 [23:02] kelsin: http://pastebin.com/m71cad5a9 [23:02] alzamabar: apt cannot understand .rpm, you need a tool to convert from .rpm to .deb like alien [23:02] !terminal > alzamabar, (alzamabar,, see the private message from Ubotu) from this [23:02] cocox: so you are using a i686 compiled kernel usually youll see that or i386 both are 32 bit [23:02] alzamabar: you can use the .bin file [23:02] how can i change my screen resolution from terminal? [23:02] kelsin, ohhif it would be 64 what should it says? [23:02] hi [23:02] pg: sda5 should probably be marked bootable as well, and according to the grub help it should be (hd0,4) for the first extended partition, I could be wrong about that [23:02] mr__daniel: there's no reason why one should, though [23:02] alzamabar, from applications accessories terminal, and use the prepared packages with sudo apt-get install "PAckageName" when you know what you want [23:02] cocox: amd64 or x86/64 something like that [23:02] is there a way to add 2 fat32 discs/partitions without having to mess around in /etc/fstab? [23:03] mr__daniel, there are premade packages easier for the user to use [23:03] kelsin pike_ thank you guys! [23:03] Im having probelm installing the ATI 3d rage pro driver on ubuntu 7.10 [23:03] and im newbie :D [23:03] void^: OK, then I should write "root (hd0,0)" and "/dev/sda" in device.map? [23:03] pg: but the best way is on the grub command line to tab complete things to see what grub actually thinks is there [23:03] bard1988, have you checked out restricted drivers? [23:03] MikeH: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions <-- has an auto setup script to edit fstab for you i think [23:03] what restriceted? [23:03] bard1988, that would be "ati" [23:03] nixNewb: maybe 'xrandr' is able to do that, check out the man page 'man xrandr' [23:04] pg: I've never had to write to device.map in my entier life so i don't know about that, but I think you should put that in there and if that doesn't work edit the line on the grub screen and use tab complete to see what hd0's grub sees [23:04] bard1988, system -> administration -> restricted driver manager [23:04] kelsin: it does not complete anything. [23:04] MikeH: thx ill try [23:04] it'll most probably have your ati drivers there, it's just a case of enabling them ;) [23:04] bard1988, ^^ [23:04] MikeH: of course you prob know you can just mount em without editing fstab === Greyhound is now known as Greyhound- [23:04] pike_, yeah, but I want them mounted automatically. [23:05] it says my hardware does not need any restricted drivers [23:05] bard1988, hrm, back to step one then :) [23:05] My x800xt had drivers present. [23:05] which is? [23:05] kelsin: and /dev/sda5 is marked bootable, if I undersrand http://pastebin.com/m71cad5a9 correctly [23:06] MikeH: thx ill try ? [23:06] oops [23:06] VBETOOL always gets to 100% when I try to suspend? Any idea? [23:06] anyway what other suggestions? [23:06] MikeH: id think the default install of ubuntu would have some script in init.d/ to mkdir and mount detected partitions but i dunno guess not [23:07] weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! [23:07] lets start with an easier probelem, is there anything in UBUNTU which is like Language bar? [23:07] bard1988: what is language bar? [23:08] where is the gnome-themes-manager [23:08] ? [23:08] so ummm... I put ssh:2345:respawn:/usr/bin/sshtunnel into my inittab... telinit q and nothing happens [23:08] bard1988: do you mean a appleat which is able to change the keyboard-layout? [23:08] yeah exactly daniel [23:08] bard1988: like SCIM? [23:08] pg: I see the boot * next to /dev/sda2 am I that tired? :) [23:08] chuckles_ ? [23:08] Buonanotte a tutti. [23:08] whats the command/utility to list all mounts. [23:08] kelsin: sorry, you're right :-) [23:08] did something replace the gnome-theme-manager? [23:08] !it | Gekone [23:08] Gekone: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [23:08] itsw not even in synaptic [23:08] i dun know what SCIM is [23:09] bard1988: you can a such applet when you right on your panel (the upper or the lower one) and choose 'add to panel' [23:09] MikeH: all mounted or all partitions? [23:09] !test [23:09] Failed. [23:09] bard1988: there you can find the applet [23:09] * pike_ wonders where his inittab has gotten to [23:09] bascule, All mounted, along with sizes etc. [23:09] how is it called? [23:09] bard1988: scim puts an icon in the tray automatically for me [23:09] sad === ForeverZero is now known as sea4ever [23:09] bard1988: i think you want SCIM for foreign language input [23:10] kelsin: I can't make both sda2 (extended) and sda5 (ext3) bootable. [23:10] hi [23:10] MikeH: df [23:10] oh i think i got it :P [23:10] kelsin: when I make sda5 bootable, sda2 is no longer bootable [23:10] just a sec [23:10] pike_: no sys V init in ubuntu we now use upstart [23:10] pike_: /etc/event.d/ [23:10] how do I install a package from the command line? I've ran the command apt-cache search mysql and it shows something I'd like to install [23:11] bard1988: note: SCIM makes things kinda buggy for some people [23:11] y dun i have hebrew layout? === Stargazer is now known as Rezagrats [23:11] !upstart [23:11] is vbetool really needed? seems my computer suspends/resumes better without it? [23:11] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [23:11] !upstart > pike_ [23:11] bard1988: like when you go to type and it doesn't let you.. close scim and it should let you type [23:11] MikeH: you can also use the -h option to make the output much more readable, 'df -h' [23:11] hello?

[23:12] Hi, i need to know, i burn a CD with a load of musik on it, i load the CD into Ubuntu and it rejects it, why? ( the CD is being burned on Windows Vista, Live format ) [23:12] how do i restart sshd? [23:12] from what I've read, upstart should still read inittab if it's there but doesn't seem to, and I've tried creating an events.d file for it and it's not starting through that either [23:13] I can force it to start.... but it's not starting on runlevel === mikl is now known as L [23:13] why is gpodder unable to download the videos from http://www.polylog.tv/videothek/videocast/rss20.xml ? [23:13] my ssh tunnel [23:13] kelsin: ah, thanks. that lists only hd0,4 [23:13] then that's right, I would switch the boot flag like you did and test, but at least we know (hd0,4) is the right label [23:14] Freman: debian/ubuntu doesn't uses different runlevels as RH/fedora/Suse does [23:14] come again? [23:14] kelsin: thanks! OK, I'll try to boot then. [23:14] Freman: you add or remove things to the one runlevel with update-rc.d [23:14] does anybody know if Flash runs better on youtube on Firefox 3 beta? [23:14] chuckles_: maybe with '/etc/init.d/ssh restart' [23:14] Freman: can you pastebin your event.d file? [23:14] Rezagrats: im almost certain its a vista problem. does the cd work in your handy dvd/mp3 player? [23:14] * genii sips a coffee [23:14] http://paste-bin.com/12767 [23:15] im having problem with Pidgin also [23:15] Rezagrats: what is a or the 'Live format' ? [23:15] i have only messenger list and no ICQ list [23:15] that didnt work, when i try to login my new issue file doesnt show [23:15] Pike_, i'm not burning them as a musik CD i'm burning them with musik files [23:15] erUSUL, I don't want to update-rc.d I want to inittab - different things [23:15] Does anyone else here notice that thier CPU runs hotter in Feisty than in XP? [23:15] Freman: can you paste your sshtunnel script (with hosts change if you want) [23:15] is there a way to disable vbetool in suspend scripts? [23:15] kelsin, the script works [23:16] it used to run fine [23:16] in inittab? [23:16] Condoulo: dunno. ive been trying miro a bit for searching videos it has youtube support and while it is horribly out of place on my flux desktop id recommend you try it out [23:16] yeh [23:16] Freman: anything in message or syslog? [23:16] nope [23:16] I closed vlc because it started playing the same song over & over. the program looks closed but the song is still playing. any suggestions? [23:16] where is the theme-manager [23:16] I can run "start ssh1" and it starts [23:16] Freman: and I'm assuming the script blocks and doesn't exit? [23:16] Rezagrats: this is iso9660 format? [23:16] imbecile: killall -9 vlc [23:16] Rezagrats: maybe Windows is using a proprietary format to burn the music CD [23:16] it's just not doing it automatically [23:17] Khalil: system>prefs>apperance [23:17] Rezagrats: you have to check out if windows is using the iso9660 format [23:17] anyone? [23:17] ljL: thanks [23:17] how can I see ICQ list on Pidgin? === K4k_ is now known as K4k [23:17] http://paste-bin.com/12768 [23:17] Can Winamp run in Ubuntu? [23:17] Memot, no. [23:17] Freman: I would change the start lines to "start on stopped rc2" etc, and see if the problem is network and ssh not being up yet [23:17] :( [23:17] Rezagrats: since this is vista im assuming there is some wierd format or drm issue maybe [23:17] Memot: under WINE, possibly... but why would you want to? [23:17] Memot: hi [23:17] !players > Memot (Memot, see the private message from Ubotu) [23:17] the script very much blocks (c: [23:17] Memot, you can probably get it to work under Wine [23:17] Mr__daniel, pike_, idk how to check that i'm barely starting, i know noobs like me are annoying but it's people like me that find the smallest of problems [23:18] Memot: there's tons of other mp3 players [23:18] Hi there! [23:18] Memot: xmms and beep are about the same as classic winamp if you like modern winamp then ubuntu has much better alternatives to that [23:18] kelsin, how does that work? I'm in runlevel2 now... [23:18] how do I install server apps on my Ubuntu 7.10 gg desktop? [23:18] Memot, buthonestly, you're better off using Audacious, or any other of the Winamp-like players. [23:18] anyone succsefully configured a postfix smtp server here? [23:18] Heh [23:18] Freman: run "initctl list" you'll see that rc2 is stoped [23:18] !postfix | mafsi [23:18] mafsi: postfix is the default Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) for Ubuntu. Read more about setting it up here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix or here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto [23:18] alzamabar: just install em via package manager they will be started automatically [23:18] Freman: the "rc2" upstart job is stopped technically [23:19] I deleted an ext3 directory, but debugfs: ls suggests its contents are untouched. Can't I just recreate the directory structure? I've been playing all day with debugfs, sleuthkit, foremost and photorec. [23:19] I know there are alot of good alternatives, it's just that i have Winamp since it's first public version xD [23:19] cool, how can I force it to try it now without rebooting? [23:19] alzamabar: an example is openssh-server just isntall it in synaptic and you can ssh to your machine [23:19] Meh @ winamp [23:19] I will miss it =3 [23:19] pike_, em? [23:19] erUSUL: 10x but i installed i looked over all those helps & still is not working [23:19] Memot: then if you really can't live without it see if you can run it under wine. [23:19] Its the same story for lots of software. They make something which works fine, then add heaps of bloat on top of it. [23:19] !appdb > Memot (Memot, see the private message from Ubotu) [23:19] Memot: if you're that nostalgic you can run xmms [23:19] Then it goes all slow and horrible. [23:19] Freman: you can stop and start rc2 but I have no idea how that works, since the main problem you're having is ONLY on reboot I would suggest you have to test it that way :-( [23:20] oh well, I guess I'll reboot then and see what happens [23:20] thanks kelsin (c: [23:20] Freman: but I would assume the probably is a race condition since the default thing just runs rc2 AND your job at the same time right away [23:20] thx [23:20] pike_, I'd like to install mysql [23:20] Freman: you could maybe sleep until you can ping the host in your script as another possible solution (if that's the problem) [23:20] My CPU seems to be running a lot hotter in Ubuntu than in XP... is there a way I can fix that? [23:20] what's the command line in terminal for Auto Numpad ON in linux startop ?!

[23:28] bard1988, did you google for ubuntu ati 3d rage pro? That's what I always do first. [23:28] slowthy_ it cant just do nothing, it has to give something, like ask for sudo password or something [23:28] noob101: you can only use ddr and ddr2 at the same time if the mainboard's manual explictly allows you to do so. [23:28] I mounted a Secondary Drive (Shared Between Linux and Windows) and when I explore it I see folders (System Folders) like "RECYCLER" and "System Volume Information" which don't show up on Windows.

[23:30] slowthy_ dont run scripts that way [23:30] The program 'bluetooth-properties' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [23:30] sudo apt-get install bluez-gnome [23:30] mafsi: it's very simple to configure postfix since it's config files are actually documented quite well [23:30] Is there a way to make Tracker index Thunderbird?

[23:33] ? [23:33] I dont know if any of you have access to the website but the paragraph on http://www.ubuntu.com/training doesnt make a whole lot of sense [23:34] mafsi: then your configuration is probably not right either by either a dns error or something in postfix's own configuration can't help you without seeing how you have postfix setup really [23:34] sebrock: read up on how sudo works [23:34] pike_, no, like noone - its in a several scripts and I dont want to go through the hassle [23:34] kelsin, it says: E: Couldn't find package sun-java6-jdk [23:34] sebrock, why not delete it? [23:34] I want to blacklist "vbetool" this is in the suspend.d scripts and is causing shit on my system [23:34] verb3k, first I want to check this obviously [23:35] sebrock: well i suppose sudo chmod 600 /usr/sbin/vbetool but i have no idea of the consequences of that [23:35] alzamabar: you need to enable all of the ubuntu official repos, or you're not on gutsy [23:35] pike_, still root would be able to execute then?

[23:45] jack_sparrow: its an external hdd. [23:45] sebrock, nickrud, you know when u suspend it has to write all of your memory to the disk? u think that should take like 5% cpu?

[23:46] Dankchild: Hirenscd or the live gparted would be my next step on that, [23:46] SpookyET: hmm what patches if there is none see in Linux really they don't do patches it's not like Windows [23:46] hwilde: although hibernate is fubared as well ;() [23:46] hwilde, My window theme is fine...? [23:46] kitche, kwin is a window decorator. if you kill xgl you need a replacement. [23:46] I recently installed ubuntu alongside vista, and now vista won't boot. can anyone help? [23:46] kitche: I know. A waste of bandwidth. [23:46] jack_sparrow: ive tried gparted but it didnt show up [23:46] Seven_Six_Two: xgl is a server [23:47] with a ATI Raedon 1650 graphics card [23:47] nickrud, sebrock, MikeH, how do I play the streaming audio on this page: http://breakbeat.co.uk/Listen/StudioMixes.aspx [23:47] Dankchild: I just booted this box to get my mail and saw your post.. [23:47] Dankchild: gparted LIVE stand alone cd.. [23:47] kitche: I really like it. I switched from Vista, hopefully for good. [23:47] ooh, breakbeat. [23:47] Gwah, ls is frustrating sometimes! >.<... could anybody tell me why "ls *.mp3" doesn't work?? [23:47] Seven_Six_Two: so you mean Compiz not xgl since compiz is a window manager just like kwin is [23:47] kitche, whatever you want to call it, it replaces kwin when it starts, as it's a compositing window manager [23:47] hwilde, Ok, in amsn how can I get my user groups back?! [23:47] Dankchild: or are you talking the gparted from the ubuntu cd [23:47] kitche, oh yes. [23:47] zer0cool: you would edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to include the vista stanza; a sec & I'll give you a link. One question: what partition is your vista on? [23:48] hwilde, find a suitable plugin [23:48] Grub fails to boot: error 22 (no such device). sda5 is the only partition on this disk, it is set to bootable, and grub recognizes it as hd0,4. menu.lst says "root (hd0,4)" and device.map says "(hd0) /dev/sda". Perhaps grub needs to be re-installed in the mbr? [23:48] jack_sparrow: ok, no i havent tried that i will, i was talking about the one i installed on ubuntu. [23:48] sebrock, ok but how I can't even figure out what type of media it is! [23:48] im running a AMD 64 with a ATI Raedon 1650 graphics card and i really wana get beryl running how do i get it running without stuffing the computer?? [23:48] kyle__, go to appearance settings and turn it all the way up [23:48] Dankchild: I have no real issue with the one that is part of the installer. I just like the stand alone when working on a drive like yours. [23:48] hwilde: I use mozilla-mplayer, it's playing [23:48] _bildpunkt, maybe try kwin --replace [23:49] <_bildpunkt> Seven_Six_Two: ok ty [23:49] nickrud: vista is in the grub boot menu (automatically did it during install) but selecting it won't boot vista. it makes the system reboot [23:49] pg: from grub's prompt, do a: setup (hd0) [23:49] join #deluge [23:49] nickrud, ack opera [23:49] wheres that? [23:49] *sigh* I suck [23:49] apperances settings? [23:49] jack_sparrow: alright ill try that, thanks man. [23:49] nickrud: it's on partition hda2 [23:49] I definitely hava java isntalled. firefox froze:-) [23:49] Hi. How can I get/display information about the RAM being used on a computer (DDR, DDR2, ..)? [23:49] Dankchild: If you can crack the enclosure and make sure it gets plenty of air [23:49] ... [23:49] im running a AMD 64 with a ATI Raedon 1650 graphics card and i really wana get beryl running how do i get it running without stuffing the computer?? [23:49] or man kwin to get the proper options. I don't think you'll be able to run kwin from a ssh without specifying a display [23:49] SpookyET: congrats ;p [23:49] pg: setup (hd0) puts it in the MBR, setup (hd0,0) puts it in a specific partition [23:50] blueyed: you can not afaik (you have to check on the bios) [23:50] zer0cool: could you put a copy of your /boot/grub/menu.lst on paste.ubuntu-nl.org? I understand grub, but not vista [23:50] Should it not respond to "java --version" [23:50] Dankchild: good luck.. I wont be around for at least a day or two.. [23:50] hwilde, looks like a flash player to me? [23:50] kyle__, did you even look through the nice menu they made for you? i mean how did u find xchat? it's under system or whatever. appearance. fancy effects [23:50] it says "could not create java virtual machine" [23:50] jack_sparrow: i have it open and sitting on top, im getting ready to go get a fan also. [23:50] kyle__, do you have hardware rendering working? try fglrxinfo [23:50] DARKGuy: in what way does it not work? [23:50] jack_sparrow: thanks again. [23:50] Dankchild: Ok.. just trying to think of anything [23:50] nickrud, i was in opera... u know if u start using opera, the mozilla icon on the taskbar launches opera? [23:50] SpookyET: one - so -version [23:50] i had to install x chat myself [23:50] erUSUL: there are programs for windows AFAIK.. (e.g. SiSoft Sandra or similar). So I think there must be something for linux, too. [23:51] hwilde: rflol, must use x-www-browser [23:51] MoTec: setup (hd0) Invalid device requested [23:51] the hardware rendering stuffs it up [23:51] Dankchild: also go online and calc the power supply rating for your computer [23:51] takes ages to log in then it logs out again [23:51] VSpike: it says it can't find any *.mp3 files [23:51] pg: doesn't sound like a grub problem, then... Not sure what else to try. [23:51] DARKGuy: maybe find -iname '*.mp3' would be better? [23:51] VSpike: when I have the folder full of mp3s [23:51] It works. [23:51] VSpike: that works, but not for the purpose I'm trying to use it :( [23:51] kyle__, does it say it's enabled when you use fglrxinfo | grep Direct [23:51] Dankchild: Your external might be starving for juice if the PS is too small [23:51] DARKGuy: if they are called blah.MP3 it will not find them [23:51] * Pelo 's dvd burner has been acting realy weird since the last hal update, anyone else ?

[23:52] hwilde: I don't use opera much, but iirc there's some setting in it that tells it to use the mozilla plugins? [23:52] im running ubuntu 7.04 [23:52] Chewy954: I'd wait for a couple more pre-preleases [23:52] Chewy954: its an alpha, its not stable [23:52] Chewy954, beta are never stable, and you should beaswking in #ubuntu+1 anyway [23:52] and ATI Raedon X1650 [23:52] Chewy954: lol, maybe in march [23:52] DARKGuy: OK, that is pretty wierd .. maybe something strange in your shell options? [23:52] that's not an answer to my question [23:52] VSpike: actually, it was my mistake o.O...
