[00:40] kelsin: yes. says device not installed. something in the execution of madwifi install probably was the culprit. i just want to reinstall networking piece of os if possible to get hat back to original state [00:40] tony_math: I mean, run the dialog from the terminal so you can look for error messages [00:40] Sepheebear: I did, managed to do with a hack using vesafb instead of nvidiafb, not I upgraded to Heron and X does not work anymore. It complains about not being able to start vesa driver, so I figure it must relate somehow. Now I want to go back to nvidiafb to narrow it down. :P [00:40] Sepheebear: I'm on the opposite way, but somehow I can't seem to unload vesafb. :P [00:40] tony_math: i bet it's stored in one of the directories, starting with a ".", in your home directory... [00:41] any help for me? [00:41] probably something depends on it, do lsmod | grep vesafb [00:41] NYCThomasB: well unfortunately I don't know what was running your card in the first place, but you can try "modprobe ndiswrapper" [00:41] !please > Frederick (read the private message from ubotu) [00:41] NYCThomasB: sudo it of course [00:41] let me try [00:41] kelsin: standby thanks [00:41] thanks jrib/MoTec, I'm still looking.

[00:46] tony_math: sudo apt-get update [00:46] tony_math: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade (or apt-get if you prefer it) [00:46] hello there. just wanted to ask if there's a page where one can watch the packages going to hardy and so on? [00:46] MoTec: I see that now. There's nothing in /var/log to indicate what's going on. [00:46] tony_math: sudo apt-get update [00:46] is it safe to install ubuntu through vmware onto a partition to natively boot it?

[00:47] sorry about that folks [00:47] * bruenig does not forgive [00:47] sipsipclick: I tried different wallpapers and I don't really wanna repeat all the settings for another user [00:47] How is the state of 'desktop effects' [00:47] shouldn't it be enough to reset certain properties/files? [00:47] lunks: and include nvidiafb and fbcon in your initramfs [00:47] is it really just compis-fusion? [00:47] jrib: Thanks :) Your comands worked. I had about 38 updates pending and now they're downloading and preparing for install. [00:47] Is there a player like foobar2000 in linux? [00:48] ghost, yes [00:48] Sepheebear: just 'modprobe nvidiafb' seems to work. I have blacklisted it in /etc/modprobe.d blacklist and blacklist.framebuffer [00:48] ghost: it's compiz with compiz-fusion [00:48] Sepheebear: hmm any tip on messing around with initramfs? [00:48] I've never done it. [00:48] lunks: but did you include the framebuffer mods in the initramfs? [00:48] what is the package for the configure app? [00:48] g0th, no doubt. unfortunately that's the easiest route with some of these gnome issues. you could try running nautilus from the command line and see if you get any errors [00:48] Sepheebear: I haven't myself, AFAIR [00:48] Is there a player like foobar2000 in linux? With just one big window for 1 playlist? Not like amarok... [00:49] is it as robust as Bryle and Emrald was?

[00:50] yeah thnx [00:50] g0th, if you aren't running nautilus then that's why you don't see a background. if you really don't want it you can try using xsetroot or bsetbg at login to set the wallpaper [00:50] jshriver: gksu update-manager -c is the gui way [00:50] nautilus is quite slow and resource heavy so I deactivated it since I never ever used it [00:50] Sepheebear: Really appreciated. :) [00:50] compiz [00:50] anton__: hah, ok. I've just used vlc, mplayer, and amarok [00:50] hmm [00:50] ahh [00:50] ghost: compiz-config-settings-manager [00:50] lunks: let us know how it ends up [00:51] !logs [00:51] kitche, domo arigatu [00:51] Channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - Logs for LoCo channels are at http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [00:51] so nautilus is responsible for the desktop background usually? [00:51] g0th: well nautilus is what sets the desktop, so that's you're problem [00:51] folks my x server is borked up [00:51] bill_k: Okok. [00:51] g0th, under gnome yeah [00:51] g0th: yes it manages the desktop in gnome [00:51] ok thanks [00:51] !english | jshriver [00:51] The Human Theme is all well and good, but I want to try out some newer stuff [00:51] jshriver: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [00:51] !nautilus [00:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about nautilus - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:51] I thought it was only a file manager [00:51] and alt + fnumber is not giving me other terminals [00:51] g0th: it is [00:51] sorry [00:51] Oh, and does anyone know if it will work with KDE4 when it comes out? [00:51] gksu update-manager -c didnt work [00:51] well the desktop background hasn't much to do with file management [00:51] ghost: have you tried some of the dark themes? [00:51] konqueror is a file manger/web browser [00:51] g0th, look at xsetroot or bsetbg [00:51] thanks [00:51] Sepheebear: no, but I intend too [00:51] Frederick: you might be able to kill it with CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE [00:52] jshriver: you have to refresh update manager if it didn't auto refresh then there is a button at the top saying new release available [00:52] ghost: it'll work with kde4, but kwin4 is going to have its own compositing effects [00:52] Sepheebear: where do you go for your themes? [00:52] ghost: im currently running the ubuntustudio theme and I love it [00:52] graft: excellent. [00:52] MoTec: I know but I need to set this crap [00:52] MoTec [00:52] I think I ghot issues cause it is a widescreen monitor [00:52] i have just put 1680x1050 as first after modes [00:52] still nothing [00:52] Sepheebear: link? I am curious about studio how do you like it? [00:52] kitche, thanks tried it again w/o -c [00:53] Modes "1680x1050@60" "1600x1200@65" "1400x1050@60" "1280x960@75" "1280x1024@60" "1280x960@60" "1280x1024@75" "1152x864@75" "1024x768@60" "1024x768@70" "102 [00:53] running now :) [00:53] You have to restart X [00:53] where can I get the KEY for the gos repository [00:53] tpratt_: gos repository? [00:53] Frederick: ussually from the X console you have to ctrl-alt-F# to get to the other terminals [00:53] ghost: sudo aptitude install ubuntustudio-theme ubuntustudio-icon-theme [00:53] Menacie: also, make sure you find all the lines that start with Modes [00:53] oops [00:53] nevermind [00:53] brb [00:53] damnit... how do i keep my sound from looping all the time? [00:53] kelsin: no [00:53] Sepheebear: I was also kinda talking about the distro [00:53] kelsin: it does not work here gives me a completely black screen [00:53] it's completely pointless having a sound card with this nonsense happening [00:54] !ubuntu-studio | ghost [00:54] ghost: UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org [00:54] ghost: well im running pretty stock gutsy with just the ubuntustudio theme on top [00:54] ah got it [00:54] graft, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2252946 ? [00:55] ghost: but afaik ubuntustudio just adds a few apps, sounds, and graphics [00:55] fair enough [00:55] ghost: no real core difference [00:55] hey guys, im running the livecd trying to change the size of a partition with gparted but it says its mounted, what do i do? [00:55] no kernel patches or anything like that [00:55] ghost: no [00:56] ghost: ubuntu-studio kernel has a kernel patch for low latency [00:56] Dankchild: I would download the gparted live cd and boot into it [00:56] Dankchild, gparted on the 7..10 live cd is a bit buggy, try the 7.04 live cd instead if you have it , if not right cick the partiton and select unmount [00:56] sipsipclick: not quite like that... seems to only happen when the sound is stopped playing [00:56] Dankchild: n/m my comment, I read your line wrong [00:56] kitche: really? why would't desktop have that as well? [00:56] Dankchild, right click in gparted and unmount [00:57] sipsipclick: like, if i play something with mplayer, the last half-second will loop after it finishes playing. also the process will hang and won't die until killed [00:57] ghost: it's for audio programs a desktop doesn't really use low latency that much it's for sound not for networking [00:57] kitche: i've never seen the ubuntustudio kernel package. where did you get it [00:57] Sepheebear: it's right int he ubuntu repos [00:57] graft, is it just with mplayer? [00:57] kitche, I thought low latency processing was handy for a lot of things? [00:57] sipsipclick: no, with anything [00:58] kitche: like gimp and diskcacheing and whatnot? [00:58] ghost: umm it's mostly for sound really and video processing when making a movie or recording audio and such [00:58] anyone had success loading the latest ubuntu on dell inspiron 6400 - my X never seems to work [00:58] astro76: i did that and it gives me an error saying cannot blah blah blah mounted. [00:58] nokompranos, what is the videocard on that comp [00:58] ? [00:58] setup up a new server and ordering parts tomorrow but have "A"? witch is better go Daul Xeon 3.0 or [00:59] Dankchild: oh did you mean the ubuntu livecd? If you continue having problems I would go download the Gparted livecd, good one to have around [00:59] setup up a new server and ordering parts tomorrow but have "A"? witch is better go Daul Xeon 3.0 or intel Exreme Quad [00:59] so ive heard, ill try that. [00:59] kitche hm. do you know of a good site I can read about the kernel's and specifically ubuntus? im sure its in the documentation site but I havn't found that. I want to build my own kernel on this box sooner or later to streamline it [00:59] touchy fingers sorry all double posting [00:59] additionally I would like to speed up my boot process all together, Ubuntu boots much slower then my gentoo install did (but in ubuntu my stuff actually works lol) [01:00] ghost, go into menu > system > admin > services and uncheck all the services you donT' use [01:00] MoTec, still no luck [01:01] Menacie: are you using an ATI card? [01:01] Pelo, already did that [01:01] nVidia [01:01] 7600GS [01:01] Pelo but if i build a much smaller kernel with all my needed modules built in shouldn't that boot faster? [01:01] "proxyDHCP offers were received. No DHCP offers were recieved." [01:01] I'm getting that when trying to network boot [01:01] Menacie, what are you trying to do ? boot the live cd ? [01:01] no, i've installed ubuntu, but i cant get 1680 x 1050 resolution [01:02] So my processor runs approx. 10 degrees warmer in Ubuntu than it does in XP [01:02] ghost, I'm not that leet , there wre a few articles on digg about speeding up the boot in ubuntu, try searching there and see if you can come up with anything [01:02] so that the fan is on nearly constantly. [01:02] Im attempting to dl NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run, seems simple straight off the site, but i think there is a command that would make it easier, anyone have an idea for a command or could walk me through the installation proccess so i could properly install it this time ^^ [01:03] xTheGoat121x, cpufreq might help http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty [01:03] Using Gutsy Gibbons- [01:03] hey is their any reason to run both apmd and acpid at the same time? [01:03] ghost: Probably, but we're talking milliseconds here, the main thing to speed up boot is to turn off things you don't need, check out the /etc/rc2.d directory and see what is there that you probably don't want running all of the time [01:03] Hmm, Menacie is gone [01:03] michael: the restricted driver manager worked for me on my nvidia machines [01:04] is that posibale to replace win xp pro whit linux ubuntu for all usage? [01:04] turn of colour for grub load. [01:04] kelsin, hm... do you know of a good resource for reaserching the linux init process? [01:04] ok, let me check [01:04] Administrator_: depends on your uses [01:04] and 5 countdown. [01:04] Administrator_, most of it , I haven'T realy used windows in over a year [01:04] kelsin that is a gray area for me [01:04] Administrator_, do you have any odd or very specialised apps you need to run ? [01:04] ghost: no sorry :), but you def will get more use looking at what's started in runlevel 2 (the /etc/rc2.d dir) then researching kernel startup [01:04] old games , videos , voice files , surfing net? [01:05] old games , videos , voice files , surfing net? [01:05] kelsin, that sounds logical [01:05] Administrator_: depends on the old games, but linux can definitely work with media and the net juts fine [01:05] Administrator_, old games you might need to run on wine if you realy want to play them , voice files I am not sure what you mean, I can play all videos I have, and I surfing the net is not an issue at all [01:06] xd i've now down something [01:06] and the sides are black :S [01:06] WOW there is a lot of stuff in there [01:06] Kelsin_: ima try this and be abck in a sec-- needs restart [01:06] old games usually commandos 2 , stratiges games that aple to play with 32vga [01:07] kelsin, is it possible to 'comment out' these scripts? I assume there is some kind of rc config file [01:07] Pelo, I already have frequency scaling set up. [01:07] Administrator_, you can try the live cd and give ubuntu a try without installing it , or you can install it and dual boot, a lot of ppl do that and try is out fully installed for a while [01:07] I don't want to delete these scripts as i wouldn't know how ot remake em [01:07] ghost: you can use the update-rc.d program to manage them, and others [01:07] ghost: the files in the /etc/rc2.d folder ar ejust symlinks to /etc/init.d [01:07] kelsin I thought that just adds and removes them... [01:08] ghost: there are graphical utilities to manage it as well, yes it does just add and remove, and that's all you need to do to remove them from startup, it doesn't touch the original scripst in /etc/init.d [01:08] kelsin, i assumed its something like that... I just don't want to break a link to something i need [01:08] & what about cbt's? [01:08] kelsin oh excellent [01:08] ghost: of course, but that's the full list of what is run at startup [01:08] Thanks [01:08] Administrator_, by default you cannot run windows app or games on any linux distro, but you can install wine ( which uses the windows api thingy ) and run most windows apps and games, specialy the older ones, you can look your cames up on their site to know if they hvae been tried and the results, www.winehq.org [01:08] like... ppp support... who still uses modems in the age of home offices lol [01:08] Administrator_, cbt? [01:09] you can also read the /etc/rc2.d/README file, it suggests a renaming method so you still even know what was there [01:09] ghost, many ppl don'T have relaible or cheap hi-speed in their area you'd be surprised [01:09] Pelo, true true. [01:09] like cbtnuggets , learnkey [01:10] i still cant get my resolution sorted:( [01:10] products [01:10] kelsin, would it be possible (im sure it is) to bind the launching of the bluetooth service to the hardware toggle script i made? [01:10] Administrator_: if you have to run specific windows apps you're better off with windows... if you have flexibility about the app you run, and are willing to try alternatives.. ubuntu can easily replace windows for general use. [01:11] like, i want to start the service when i start the hardware and turn it off when not... [01:11] Administrator_, don't know what those are, but like I said you can always try to run wndows stuff on wine and see if it works properly, but we prefer to suggest you try looking for a linux alternateive, most of which are free [01:11] ghost: yeah, you can always call those init.d scripts (as root) with "/etc/init.d/script-name start" [01:11] ozzy, do you get a gui ? [01:11] Hello, I am trying to use ssh -D for a SOCKS/HTTP proxy, but I am not understanding how to do so I don't guess. I keep getting my current login . [01:11] maybe I should make that a forum post. [01:11] Administrator_: And the package manager has a great deal of packages listed.. You can boot off of a live cd, explore what's available, easily, using the package manager. [01:11] SuperKonny: ssh -D PORT user@host [01:11] I should probably read more on init and bash scripting in general before I mess with that [01:11] everytime i open system -> preferences -> hardware information the program immediately closes [01:12] good evening [01:12] jrib: I am wanting to so that people can use my server as a connection (proxy) [01:12] jrib: not login to my ssh shell [01:12] dana_bad, you have an actual problem , this has been mentionned before but I ahve never seen a fix in here, check the forum www.ubuntuforums.org [01:12] jrib: would that require something else ? [01:12] ok i there another than wine that run all app [01:12] ? [01:12] ozzy, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel [01:12] Pelo, yes i get a lot of different options to change resolution, just not 1680 x 1050 [01:13] SuperKonny: yes, afaik [01:13] howdy, i just installeed ubutunu 7.04 server on a comp, how do i control it via ssh? [01:13] Administrator_: windows [01:13] kelsin, does the built in 'session' gui app control what is found in the etc/rc2.d/ linkfolder? [01:13] yes [01:13] That's the alternative to wine, if you must run windows apps [01:13] and whats x windows [01:13] nixNewb, you have to install the ssh server on the 7.04 server [01:13] hey people, is ubuntu sent any of you a big update pack about an hour ago? (00:00 PM) [01:13] ? [01:13] how do i go about doing that? [01:13] yea [01:14] ozzy, ah , that is easy , open a terminal , type gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf add the resolution you need to the list, respect the synatx , save, restart X ( ctrl _alt _backspace) and go back to the resolution dialog box [01:14] if i try sudo apt-get install ssh-server it asks me for the cd, i put in the cd, then it asks me for the ced [01:14] how do i look up my gateway adress in ubuntu...its ipconfig in windows [01:14] *cd [01:14] x windows is the core graphical system used in linux [01:14] nixNewb, openssh-server [01:14] DIL: yea, to me? :P [01:14] joseph, ifconfig [01:14] ifconfig [01:14] no i tried that [01:14] it doesnt show gateway [01:14] nixNewb: I don't know off the top of my head but ~man openssh-server should give you all the info you need [01:14] JonathanD: woop! [01:14] yep [01:14] AndrewB: hello there. [01:14] x windows it has nothing to do with the windows opeating system [01:14] shono that only affects what is run when the gnome-session process starts up [01:14] SuperKonny: google "ubuntu proxy server" maybe [01:14] PriceChild, it then asks me for my cd, which i put in, but then it says the cd is invalid (even though I just used it to install the os) [01:14] alysh, updates come and go , over the last week I have had severals, some very large it is pretty normal [01:14] and whats x windows? [01:14] I don't see how hard it is to install a HTTP proxy, I mean , the IRC BNC was easy [01:15] or should i be asking how do i update the apt-get resource list [01:15] nixNewb, remove the cd from your sources list (system > preferences > software sources) [01:15] Administrator_: x windows is the software the handles gui apps in linux [01:15] Administrator_, the softare that controls your windows basicaly [01:15] like wine? [01:15] Administrator_: it's the real low level code handling window creations and management [01:15] Administrator_: x windows is the 'windows' that your programs appear in. It is the graphical user interface (gui) [01:15] SuperKonny, the users will need logins to use ssh as a proxy [01:15] PriceChild, as server edition i have no gui, what file do i edit? [01:15] In computing, the X Window System (commonly X11 or X) is a display protocol which provides windowing on bitmap displays. [01:15] Is there an easy way to tell forcedeth to take a specified MAC address if the one supplied by the motherboard is invalid (nForce4)? It gives an invalid one after suspend, and now the driver generates a random MAC [01:15] wiki ftw :) [01:15] Administrator_: wine is a copy of the windows api, not quite the same as X windows [01:16] astro76: huh? [01:16] Administrator_, wine is a sort of emulator but not an emulator, x is the part of the prog taht manages your graphics [01:16] found it online [01:16] thanks guys [01:16] /etc/aptsources.list [01:16] /etc/apt/sources.list [01:16] ok is there only wine for open win apps? [01:16] Administrator_: don't worry, it is a difficult conept to understand at first. Like in windows there is a program called 'explore.exe' that is the X11 in linux [01:16] Pelo: (W)ine (I)s (N)ot an (E)mulator! :) [01:16] Administrator_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System more than you ever wanted to know about X [01:17] Administrator_, cedega is another one, but it cost money, wine is pretty reliable [01:17] Administrator_: wine tries to run windows programs, it will try and run any windows program with varying degrees or correctness [01:17] Pelo: Of course, but i'm suspected about my server for a while. First, i update on Bilgi University server (~100MB] half hour later, when i switch Intergania server i took one more 100MB too. Because of that i asked about updates. Is this normal and two updates are different packages, or first server is screwed? [01:17] Administrator_: crossover office but it's $$$, also vmware [01:17] astro76: I tried ssh -D LocalIP#:aporthere , and it just gives me the ssh help again [01:17] Pelo: thanks [01:17] Administrator_: Seriously... If you have to run windows apps, run windows. If you don't have to run specific windows apps there are a great many alternatives that run great, instead. [01:18] alysh, I just opened the upgrade manager and I have 22 aps available, and I upgraded about 2hrs ago [01:18] I have a box running gutsy (and mythtv) which randomly crashes for no good reason, maybe twice a month, I have checked syslog and there isn't anything of importance in there from the time of the crash (I can see a cron job that runs every 5 minutes, then a long gap of time till it gets a reboot signal), the only error in dmesg is this: ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... error, file /DSDT.aml not found (which I read isn't a concerna [01:18] SuperKonny: you need to add the machine you want to connect to after that, it can't really be used as a Proxy server [01:18] rhpot1991: sounds like hardware [01:19] Administrator_: The only thing wine is really useful for is that odd application that does not have a opensource counterpart, and for older windows games [01:19] Pelo: thanks, anymore person took big update pack about an hour (or more) ago? [01:19] kelsin: So I wont be able to use ssh -D , and then for my friends to put my IP#:port in firefox, etc , and use my connection ? [01:19] wine fallout2 ftw [01:19] ghost: I run warcraft III and wow in wine just fine :) [01:19] rhpot1991, check sudo crontab see if there is anything in there taht shouldnT' be there [01:19] me too lol [01:19] Administrator_: Give the live cd a try.. and explore the packages available. It's very impressive :) [01:19] SuperKonny: no [01:19] actually i never got wow working but that was a while ago [01:19] sudo crontab is empty [01:19] back when you had to do custome patches and stuff [01:19] kelsin: that is what I am wanting. [01:19] ghost: it's really wasy now lol :) [01:20] SuperKonny: ssh is not a relay or proxy [01:20] kelsin heh yeah but i broke my addiction to wowrocks [01:20] i want just few games i fav maybe 1 only i don't play games a lot & is crossover & cedega better than wine? [01:20] I play GW every now and again [01:20] SuperKonny: you need to look at proxy servers, like Quid [01:20] SuperKonny: I meant: Squid [01:20] MoTec: Under the man ssh , I see that -D appears to be so [01:20] Administrator_: wine will likely work, then for your game or two.. How about applications? [01:20] I see this happening every 30 mins: [01:21] De 4 19:09:01 ultramagnus /USR/SBIN/CRON[6309]: (root) CMD ( [ -d /var/lib/php4 ] && find /var/lib/php4/ -type f -cmin +$(/usr/lib/php4/maxlifetime) -print0 | xargs -r -0 rm) [01:21] Dec 4 19:09:01 ultramagnus /USR/SBIN/CRON[6311]: (root) CMD ( [ -d /var/lib/php5 ] && find /var/lib/php5/ -type f -cmin +$(/usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime) -print0 | xargs -r -0 rm) [01:21] i try maybe 3 ditro from cd [01:21] Kelsin, I tried running wow with wine but I had a crappy frame rate. Lots of tearing when I was running foward and you could see the frames rendering horizontally down the screen [01:21] ghost: actually same here :) [01:21] Administrator_, try wine first , since it is free , and look in add/remove menu, several games are there arlready for you to try and a few more on the net if you google [01:21] Eds: were you running opengl mode? [01:21] kelsin; hawken deadeye [01:21] send me a request [01:21] Administrator_: Right, explore the 'add / remove software' section. lots of stuff to install and check out. [01:21] Administrator_, install ubuntu on a seperate partiton , you won'T regret it [01:21] anyway dinner time :) [01:21] I got it working, thanks guys [01:21] I need to install it still [01:21] kelsin: can that be installed without being root ? [01:21] I had to change the /etc/apt/sources.list [01:22] i like specific games i don't play game usaly [01:22] Kelsin: Yeah I was, I also made the registry hack changes I had to do. Everything looked fine just went I ran alone I could see the render. Albiet I was using a 8800GTS which may or may not be supported [01:22] maybe fav just commandos 2 === tonyy is now known as tonyyarusso [01:22] & maybe stratagy [01:22] nixNewb: I like those Suddenlink commericals, "suddenly, we're connecteedddd" [01:22] I'm working on the assumption that thats something php needs done, as I didn't add it to any crontab anywhere [01:23] Administrator_, neither do I , but like I said you can dual boot for a while and see if they work, still have your widows install so you can go and play then if they don't , and worst case scenario you can always run windows as a virtual machine inside ubuntu to play those games [01:23] Administrator_, there are several alternatives [01:23] as soon as I open a menu I cannot make a screenshot. is there a small trick, maybe? [01:23] Administrator_, giving it a good try is the best thing you can do [01:24] rhpot1991: if you look in /etc/cron.d , you'll probably see what was added [01:24] if wine dont meet what i need is a crossover & cedega maybe dose? [01:24] comicinker, how are you trying to take the screenshot ? [01:25] Pelo: with the print key [01:25] Administrator_, you'd have to ask in a crossover or cedega channel [01:25] thx [01:25] comicinker, I was hoping you were using the app, let me try [01:25] SuperKonny: You using something like: ssh -D 8888 remote.host.name [01:25] anyone here help with fglrx on ubuntu? [01:25] comicinker, doesnt, work for me either [01:26] whats more stable ubuntu 7.10 or ubuntu 7.04 [01:26] Oh ntfs support is already installed on 7.10, how strong is it now? I currently have a 60gig Vista partition and a 25 gig ubuntu partition... I need the Vista one the larger simply because Games are huge these days... my hope though was to use that partition for storage for both OS's [01:26] Pelo: didn't know about that app. thats it. thanks! [01:26] purges hanging php sessions it seems [01:26] in /etc/cron.d I have php4, php5, anacron, and mdadm [01:26] ghost: i write to my ntfs partitions all the tiem [01:26] all seem normal [01:26] ghost, as you know, reading from the ntfs partition is not a problem. [01:26] Administrator_, 7.10 is the latest, it is very stable for most ppl , a few seem to have dificulties but that happens in every release , it is usualy caused by hardware issues [01:27] the only thing yo ucan't do is change permissions right? [01:27] ghost, the write that is considered reliable more or less runs in an emulation engine, I believe [01:27] because NTFS has that whacked out permission's scheme [01:27] ghost, yes, that's true. [01:27] Ok; I'm trying to edit my mouse behavior so it's like a middle click (it's this extra button) how can I go about doing that, I think it's possible with xvkbd, xmodmap and xf86-input - all installed. [01:27] if hardware was failing shouldn't there be some sort of error at some point? [01:27] is it beter than 7.04 [01:27] So my CPU frequency is set up properly, but I'm still getting a fan that turns on every 30 seconds or so [01:27] ? [01:27] ghost, the point is not so much that it is whacked out, rather M$ won't release the details. [01:27] I ran smartctrl on the root drive today, checked out fine [01:27] ghost: and sethk: you cant edit any file meta data to my knowledge [01:27] Anyone know if Macromedia has some 64 bit support for flash yet? [01:28] I believe I have run memtest on this box before, though I can try again [01:28] The button; can be configured like so... [01:28] now i know it works all and well good in NTFS, but as I understand Vista is using a newer version of NTFS? [01:28] xTheGoat121x, that's not necessarily a problem [01:28] xmodmap -e "keycode 122 = F5" [01:28] Administrator_, I think so , but the default theme could use a little work, it's not a problem anyway youcan change theme pretty easily [01:28] My main problem; is if someoen can tell me what the middle click "key" is. [01:28] ghost, I didn't think so about vista, but this is #ubuntu and I'm hardly a vista expert [01:28] rhpot1991: if it's a box, reset all cards,chips, and cables. Worked for me over half the time [01:28] Hi all - I made a backup of my linux root partition using dd, before wiping the drive. Now I've restored the drive but I can't install grub. One thing I noticed that the drive numbers have all incremented, so instead of it being on sda2 the linux partition is now sda5. Could that be my problem? [01:29] ok how much size for swap i need? [01:29] Basically I just want to store my large data in that partition... music and movies, etc, that way I can have access to both [01:29] !grub | stib [01:29] stib: 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 [01:29] from what I am hearing that should be perfectly suitable [01:29] rhpot1991, memtest86 has major improvements. Nevertheless, testing memory effectively is close to impossible [01:29] I guess I'll try that out and then make a forum post with my syslog and dmesg if it dies again [01:29] Administrator_, 2x RAM [01:29] I can always get my ram replaced too [01:29] So basically; all I need is someone to go to terminal and type in... "xbindkeys -k" click middle click; and tell me what it returns. [01:29] ghost, you can certainly read the files from linux. [01:29] Administrator_, you can let the isntaller take care of that [01:29] ghost, so if you don't mind writing them in vista, you are set === _jason is now known as jrib [01:29] ghost, obviously that's not a real solution [01:29] hi [01:29] I would want to write [01:29] crucial lifetime warranty and all [01:30] right right thats like terrible [01:30] Pelo: I've run the grub installer from my install disk, but it dies with a fatal error [01:30] morning all [01:30] Does tracker index pdf files. I can't find any of my stuff. [01:30] stib, wht is the error ? [01:30] ghost: as far as i can tell vista and xp use the same file system [01:30] sethk, alas, when the CPU still runs 10 degrees hotter in ubuntu than it does in XP... yeah, it's an issue. Plus, I don't want to shorten the life of my fan. [01:30] ghost, I'm very conservative. File system problems have a nasty way of remaining hidden until you destroy all your data. [01:30] SpookyET: i believe so [01:30] My flash drive is being mounted as read-only erratically-any solutions? [01:30] ghost: i'd recommend trying it out with a live cd [01:30] is it beter if i increase it or its ok with 2x ram? [01:30] kazol, ntfs format ? [01:30] SpookyET: maybe because your nickname is too spooky for trankerd :D [01:30] xTheGoat121x, have you tried setting the speed manually? Not as a solution, but as a test to see if that's the problem. [01:31] Pelo: VFAT [01:31] ari_stress: he [01:31] i type wine "/media/sda2/Program Files/EA GAMES/Battlefield 2" -opengl and it gives me this error wine: could not load L"Z:\\media\\sda2\\Program Files\\EA GAMES\\Battlefield 2.": Invalid handle [01:31] Administrator_, I barely use mine, 2xram is fine for the majority of ppl , if you have a lot of memory you can probably make it smaller by a lot i mean 4 gig + [01:31] exit [01:31] ari_stress: it also does not seem to be deleting old entries that don't exist. [01:31] woops; wrong thing. [01:31] kazol, chmod the mount point [01:31] it's idle [01:31] swap is an outmoded concept [01:32] i type wine "/media/sda2/Program Files/EA GAMES/Battlefield 2" -opengl and it gives me this error wine: could not load L"Z:\\media\\sda2\\Program Files\\EA GAMES\\Battlefield 2.": Invalid handle [01:32] memory is cheap [01:32] i want to configure xorg.conf because there is problem with my monitor, when entering ubuntu my monitor display: "Out of Range H 63,7 KHz V 59,8 Hz" [01:32] sethk.... I've had the processor down as far as I can get it. [01:32] Anyone have any advice on getting two monitors to work in 7.10? How do you tell what monitor is which? [01:32] i confuse, how to configure the monitor hertz with that information on xorg.conf ?? [01:32] i have 192M ram then is 384M swap ok or beter to increase it? [01:32] hmm, can't remember. I'll be back [01:33] sethk, what I mean is, do you have an independent way to measure whether the processor is really running at the slower speed, and/or do you have a way to verify that the reported temperature is correct? [01:33] CyberMad, open xorg.conf look for the vert refresh and horiz sync values, change them for taht is listed on the label on the back of you rmonitor [01:33] Here's an age old problem, I have a 160 gig seagate hard drive. I have a motherboard with the old 33 gig bios limitation and there is NO update for the bios available (msi...) Supposedly linux was supposed to just See the hard drive one I installed and made a partition just for /boot [01:33] xTheGoat121x, , what I mean is, do you have an independent way to measure whether the processor is really running at the slower speed, and/or do you have a way to verify that the reported temperature is correct? [01:33] <]RandoM[> i screwed up the permissions on my home directory.. how do i fix it? [01:33] Administrator_, make it 1 gig of swap [01:33] sethk, sent a message to myself. :) [01:33] Administrator_, also consider using xubuntu , it is a bit lighter then ubuntu [01:33] <]RandoM[> chmod 644 doesn't do it === restek is now known as |Pky| [01:34] rando chmod 755 [01:34] ]RandoM[: do you ger an error, did you try sudo chmod [01:34] well, it doesn't see the rest of the hard drive and I have been searching for months for a way to fix it, with kernel options and everything, nothing has worked [01:34] xTheGoat121x, the point is, something isn't working the way it claims to be working. So the way to track that down is to verify the measurements. [01:34] Pelo yes, i know there is setting of Hertz... ok i found behind my monitor: GTC Millenia, Power Rating: 100-240V ~ 50/60Hz 1.5A [01:34] <]RandoM[> ahh.. i'll try 755 [01:34] xTheGoat121x, if they verify, something is wrong with the way the data is processed.

[01:35] for windows I used a DDO or a dynamic drive overlay, it's a piece of software in the MBR that tells the system it has a larger hard drive than what the bios reports [01:35] CyberMad, usual you get a mejtion V=... H=... or someting similar, try checkingyour manual or looking up the specs of your monitor on the makers website [01:35] ]RandoM[: try chmod -R 644 (you'll need to change ~/.dmrc to 600 afterwards [01:35] it works for windows because windows didn't try to overwrite it [01:35] but GRUB overwrites it [01:35] <]RandoM[> ahhh thx [01:35] hence it doesn't see the larger hard drive [01:35] CyberMad, on what I see, set the hi value of h for 60 , not sure about the v [01:36] CyberMad, but I am only guessing [01:36] /juo [01:36] errr [01:36] I mean it see's it, but it gimps it down from 160 gigs to 30 gigs [01:36] Pelo i try find the manual book.. just a minute [01:36] xTheGoat121x, To measure the temperature you need one of those infrared temperature meters [01:36] using Gutsy-- How can i check how much ram i have on my computer without a restart? [01:36] I'm having issues with suspend and hibernate, and when the screen is turned off. When i suspend, it shuts down. If it turns the screen off after n minutes, the screen will not turn on when i press a key. [01:36] michael: free -m [01:36] michael, top ? [01:37] xTheGoat121x, I'm thinking about a practical way to check the speed, don't have an answer to that at the moment. [01:37] thanks ^^ [01:37] whats about for 512M how much swap size beter to use? [01:37] if anyone knows how to make it see the rest of the hard drive so I can use the full potential of the 160 gigs WITHOUT a bios upgrade or ide controller card, let me know [01:37] michael, menu > system > admin> system monitor first tab [01:37] 'quit === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:37] Administrator_, 512 of RAM , use 1 gig [01:37] I'm trying to build some software from source, and it is complaining about a missing SDL.h. Can you tell me what package provides that (or how to find out)? [01:37] which is ram? [01:38] is lighter mean a speeder? [01:38] shows a total of 503/ ised 497 and 6 free [01:38] or if anyone knows how to hack out their own bios upgrade so it can see the higher capacity hard drives, that could be usefull too [01:38] also says 175 chached [01:38] matthew__, open synaptic, search for sdl, you'll probablay get somethjing like libsdl , also install the -dev package that matches [01:38] matthew__: packages.ubuntu.com or use apt-file [01:38] matthew__: libsdl-dev [01:39] rabidweezle, um, wait, you mean you have an ancient bios that doesn't support LBA [01:39] it's pretty ancient [01:39] lols [01:39] matthew__, something called apt-file [01:39] funny part is... [01:39] matthew__, its used just lke apt-get and it tells you how to find a file [01:39] it has 8x agp and such [01:39] Administrator_, lighter means works on older machine with lower cpu and ram , so it would be faster on those machiens yes, , xubuntu need 500 mh cpu and 64 m ram , ubuntu needs 128 m ram , not sure about the min cpu [01:39] it's just... [01:39] matthew__, "apt-file search SDL.h" [01:39] rabidweezle: How big is your /boot? [01:40] matthew__, it will tell you that you need libsdl1.2-dev [01:40] just the right size as the readme's all said [01:40] matthew__, :) [01:40] thx [01:40] lemme double check the size though adamonline45 [01:40] Hey guys, I got a bit of a problem with the flash plugin in Gutsy. It's extremely unstable. Youtube videos and other streaming content tend to stutter often, and once in a while, Firefox (and other browsers based upon it) will crash due to the flash. Any advice? I have a P4 1.8 GHz, 1.5 GB of RAM, and an ATI Radeon 9200 video card, so it's not necessarily processor speed, or RAM, maybe video card? Thanks for help in advance. [01:41] cool... installing apt-file right now (so I know how to do this in the future ;) [01:41] cmp1988: convince adobe to open source flash so users can fix it, if you're already running the adobe non-free plugin that's as good as it gets [01:41] cmp1988: (at least until the gnash plugin gets better) [01:41] adamonline45, btw, this is the machine in question [01:41] matthew__, just so you know... installing it is going to take for ever as it builds its index for the first time :P [01:41] kelsin: you have the same problem or similar? [01:42] cmp1988, that happens a lot if you have several running videos running /l;oading at once, youcan try removing all the flash from yoru system and installing the very latest from the adobe site, they just have a new one out [01:42] cmp1988: I do not, it works pretty well for me, make sure you have direct rendering enabled for your graphics card [01:42] ok, /boot is 94 megs [01:42] g'night folks [01:42] jimmygoon: actually, the install was lickety split. but the search yielded nothing. I think I need to run apt-file update first. [01:42] Has anyone else gotten firefox3b1 running with antialiased fonts.... its looking like openoffice... (all crummy) right now [01:42] matthew__, possible [01:43] kelsin: direct rendering is enabled, and I don't think it's the version of flash, because I've used both the current stable release and the flash 9 update RC or something like that [01:43] kelsin: oh yea, I only have 1 going at a time [01:43] matthew__, you can also search through packages for files online: http://packages.ubuntu.com [01:43] how to install ubuntu with less RAM? [01:43] Is running the 'tracker' indexing service useful for anything? what does indexing actually do? [01:43] ghost, makes it so your files are "indexed" for faster searching [01:43] JJtech: you can always use the alternate cd iso to install a text mode system and then install whatever your system can handle [01:44] 1st, i want to use 1024x768 screen resolution, ok i found the monitor manual book.. Standard: VESA/60 Resolution: 1024x768 Horizontal Frequency: 48.4kHz Vertical Frequency: 60Hz [01:44] hello, i'm having difficulties using a program, and was curious if someone could help me with it. :) [01:44] anyone use a mac mini with 7.10 or 7.04? [01:44] what i have to set on HorizZync and VertRefresh ? [01:44] you know, I just though about something adamonline45, I better check to make sure that the jumper for the 30 gig is not on [01:44] i would prefer p2p, if there's someone who wouldn't mind [01:44] brent0n: just ask your question/explain your problem [01:44] I'm having some annoying video card issue. [01:44] *issues [01:44] jimmygoon: ohh.. that's really easy... [01:44] brb [01:44] jimmygoon, yeah but what does that actually DO. does the indexing service build basically a database of where files are? what actually uses this, just a 'find files' function? [01:44] kelsin: i only have the live CD installer... what can i do? [01:44] ghost: tracker uses it itself [01:44] rabidweezle: Alright... Trying to find a doc that helped me years ago... [01:45] jimmygoon: i did not notice any difference in the fonts [01:45] ghost, largely. [01:45] JJtech: if the live cd doesn't work on your system you're outta luck, the live cd does not include the command line installer or the text-mode installer [01:45] Next question: what does the [security] designation mean in packages.ubuntu.com? [01:45] kbrosnan, I've installed custom font packages/patches for "cleartype-like" fonts [01:45] no one uses a mac minI? :P [01:45] kbrosnan, and I find it strange that both firefox and openoffice ignore those preferences [01:45] any help? [01:45] meh, thanks ;( [01:45] when i run ubuntu, all i get is a blank, orange screen [01:45] kelsin, basically what I am asking is, does it actually do anything useful other than finding missing text documents? or does it help with system internals [01:46] ah, well, it's pretty noobish, probably. i'm having trouble running/maybe even installing(it's bad that i don't know if it's installed or not). but this program http://ushare.geexbox.org/ is what i'm trying to use, but i'm not sure exactly if i've got in installed properly, or how to configure it if it is. [01:46] ghost, no its not system vital [01:46] kelsin: so i have to download the alternate installer??? can u pls send me the link?? [01:46] just for user searching [01:46] !download | JJtech [01:46] JJtech: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Gutsy, and help keeping the servers' load low! [01:46] anyone here run windows apps seemlessly with rdesktop and vmware? [01:46] ghost: ideally, it will index the text in a pdf or web page and have it available for quick finding [01:47] wondering how "seemless" it is [01:47] BRB [01:47] the screenshots look good [01:47] JJtech: there is a checkbox when you you pick the version you want that says 'download alternate install cd' [01:47] mikeooo, I'm using virtualbox and its builtin seemless... and its not [01:47] jimmygoon: in menus or in the page content, page content is controled by the web page and lacking specific font from the web page edit -> preferences -> content -> fonts -> advanced is used [01:47] its not seemless? [01:47] mikeooo, but hte "homebrew" rtp is pretty good [01:47] kbrosnan, menus.... etc [01:47] i was looking at rdesktop [01:47] mikeooo: vmware is emulation, so speed is going to take a hit whether you use it's screen or rdesktop [01:48] kbrosnan, interace stuff [01:48] mikeooo, its pretty decent [01:48] running a q6600 w/ 8gb of ram so processing power shouldn't be a problem [01:48] anyone? :P [01:48] it would more be if the network aspect of it was slow [01:48] as far as latency [01:48] Is it a resource hog? It does not sound very useful to me at this point [01:48] like vmware on a gigabit lan isn't instant [01:48] or rather vnc [01:49] not vmware [01:49] ghost: if you're not going to use the searching just disable it [01:49] Another question guys, Ndiswrapper won't start up at boot time yet I've done the "ndiswrapper -m" command [01:49] how do I set the value of date in a enviroment variable? [01:49] ghost: you can always turn it on later [01:49] jimmygoon does it work with all the compiz-fusion effects? [01:49] can anyone suggest me something ? [01:49] jimmygoon: what window manager? [01:49] mikeooo, no idea [01:50] richee: see command "date" [01:50] kbrosnan, with and without compiz fusion --- metacity [01:50] richee: "VAR=value", to make it available out of the script you have to "export VAR" after or "export VAR=value" [01:50] yeah I am trying to streamline this instal, sorry If am asking weird questions [01:50] richee: "export DATE=`date`" [01:50] kbrosnan, give me 60 seconds and I'll have a screenshot [01:50] do the menus lag at all? [01:50] ghost: no questions related to Ubuntu are weird questions, unless you're trying to ask something weird ;) [01:50] and does alt tab work? [01:51] what is your opininn of zsh? [01:51] can zsh safely replace dash [01:51] broomhead0: good job [01:51] thanks blaenk [01:52] i need some help installing ubuntu onto a mac [01:52] no problem [01:52] ghost: dash is meant to just be a posix /bin/sh, zsh is more rightly compared to bash [01:52] ghost: Er, I wouldnt do that. [01:52] broomhead0: just ask the specific question, remember to say that you're on a mac [01:52] yea ok thanks man [01:53] so i shouldn't integrate it to replace the default bash terminal [01:53] how to set the HorizSync and VertRefresh on xorg.conf I don't know the range, i think i will use this: 1024x768 @ 60Hz (VESA) hsync: 48.4kHz [01:53] please help me :) [01:53] ghost: replacing bash for your login shell is fine, replacing dash is not [01:53] Can someone help me boot ubuntu onto a mac, I've already burned the ISO onto a disc and made a new partition [01:53] kbrosnan, http://mickens.us/fonts.png [01:53] CyberMad: do you know the model of your monitor? [01:53] hi [01:54] anyone? [01:54] dash is the one all of the ubuntu scripts are based on then? [01:54] broomhead0: are you seeing an error or anything? Have you tried booting the disc? [01:54] um..im having problems with getting java to work on mozilloa firefox [01:54] ghost: dash is posix compliant shell, so yes [01:54] what should I press when I start up, c or shift? [01:54] kbrosnan, as you can see, its not even quite the same... [01:54] BlaenkDenum yes, GTC Millenia with model GM562 [01:54] :/ [01:54] ghost: no reason to change it, you can change your login shell to /zsh using chsh all you want [01:54] posix is the standard for kernel interactive terminals? [01:54] How do i get java to work on firefox? [01:54] CyberMad: google it, look specifically for a page that's selling it, and it should say the frequencies [01:55] How do you configure the "gnome-main-menu"? I want to add more apps to favourites and enable the search bar. [01:55] CyberMad: that's what I did a few years ago, now ubuntu automatically picks it up for me [01:55] folks Im having problems setting up my monitor it is a lcd monitor from lg and ubuntu seems to be borking it I got a geforce 8800 gts mobo anyone had similar issues? I also seem unable to use multiple terminals [01:55] SpookyET, right click on the ubuntu icon and hit "edit menus" [01:55] jimmygoon: going to reboot to my 7.10 install [01:55] what is that command to make a "snapshot" of the installed packages with apt-get, to be re-installed later [01:55] ghost: posix is a standard for the operating system to say how /bin/sh should act. A lot of distros use bash for /bin/sh, but ubuntu replaced it with dash which is more minimal and JUST contains the posix standard pretty much [01:55] kelsin, that will basically then launch zsh instead of bash anytime gnome wants to run a terminal [01:55] ghost: yes [01:55] kelsin... ok that makes sence [01:55] kbrosnan, don't spend too much time on it... its not a big deal... I will post on the forums and see what others think [01:55] BlaenkDenum ok, just a minute [01:56] kelsin: you think you could help me? [01:56] its definetly not mission criticla or anything [01:56] broomhead0: I have no experience with macs [01:56] ok then thanks anyway [01:56] hey folks [01:57] im having trouble setting up sharing on ubuntu gutsy [01:57] and I wonder why in hell ubuntu in recovey mode does not allow me to use multiple screens [01:57] having issues getting my mic working in innotek vbox... anyone know how to fix this issue? [01:57] Frederick: please watch your language [01:58] Frederick, single user mode? you can use screen... [01:58] Frederick, that's an odd question. It's recovery mode, the idea is to be as simple as possible and to always boot, even if there are problems associated with the display [01:58] sethk: oki but the normal mode does not boot [01:58] flughaffen: what type of sharing? [01:59] I have firefox 3 beta (installed without apt) and firefox 2.0.0.8. I think I am using the commercial player with FF2 and the free one with FF3. Is there a way to set FF3 to use the commercial flashplugin. [01:59] Frederick, indeed, but the purpose of recovery mode is to fix the problem. It's not designed to be a reasonable environment for routine things. [01:59] sethk: I get a black screen while booting in "normal" mode [01:59] Frederick, ok, first step, then, is to look at the X log in recovery mode [01:59] kelshin, filesharing between 2 gutsy machines [02:00] already done error in locking authority file [02:00] About half of the time, my USB hard drive that's mounted at /home (formatted ext3), mounts as read-only, and if I try to "mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda1", it says it's write-protected. Any ideas? [02:00] sethk: ive installed ubuntu like 40 times [02:00] flughaffen: as long as ssh is running you can get to them using the sftp method of "Connect to Server" in places [02:00] and I got no clues this time I wonder it can be related to a borked support to my lcd monitor [02:00] Frederick, if you install it twice and still have a problem, the other 38 times are wasted [02:00] Frederick, it's possible [02:00] kelshin, ssh? [02:00] sethk: ive installed 40 times sucessfully [02:00] does anyone know of a good resource to get into network programming? I know next to nothing (although i do understand a lot of the low level stuff, ie the sockets apis) I imagine there are plenty of higher level concepts though that a well designed network system would be good to adopt, the "handshake" immediately comes to mind but i imagine there are other high level concepts or patterns worth learning about [02:01] i know that's at least midly off topic, sorry [02:01] hello all [02:01] Frederick, Oh, I thought you meant that you keep reinstalling on this machine [02:01] but without multiple screens I cant even use a text based browser [02:01] Ademan, go do #ubuntu-offtopic and I might have a few ideas [02:01] already there :-p [02:01] Ademan: networking class at your local community college? Even if you don't want to take it, finding out what books they use would be a good start [02:01] Ademan: ask in programming c or linux get freacking advanced programming in the unix enviroment and dont flood [02:02] advanced nework programming in the unix enviroment I think the autor is stevens [02:02] anyone know, is there an up-to-date list of webcams that work (well) in ubuntu? [02:02] Frederick: well i just pasted it over into ubuntu-offtopic when i realized i was offtopic here, and thanks for the book suggestion [02:02] sethk: so any ideas? [02:02] What is the command to make a "snapshot", or a list of the installed packages with apt-get, to be re-installed later with a similar command?? [02:03] folks anyone here with experience in setting up lcd monitors and nvidia cards in ubuntu? [02:03] guys can a miss configuration of /etc/jhosts file cause the computer to move slow [02:03] Frederick, configure X so that there is only one resolution, one that you know the monitor can handle. [02:03] Frederick, if you have another monitor, plug it in and see what happens [02:03] MrStonedOne: "dpkg --get-selections" you can pipe that to a file to save it [02:03] my icedtea doesnt seem to work, im opening a site with a java game and it doesnt load at all [02:03] any ideas? [02:04] sethk: I can try it in fact I did it, well lets assume I have no other monitor cause I wont have a second monitor to every emergency on my life [02:04] kelsin: and how can i reinstall [02:04] linduxed: are you opposed to install the sun-java6-jre? [02:04] sethk: Ive installed both nvidia glx and nvidia-kerneçl [02:04] kelsin: no its just that iced tea was what got suggested for install [02:04] guys can a miss configuration of /etc/hosts file cause computer to move slow [02:04] can somebody help me with PPA pls ? I did a package build on PPA, called the package mplayer - 2:1.0~rc1-0ubuntu13~ppa2 instead of mplayer - 2:1.0~rc1-0ubuntu13 and did add the "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/myppa/ubuntu gutsy main universe multiverse" to my source.list. but apt-get-upgrade still install mplayer - 2:1.0~rc1-0ubuntu13 and not my PPA version [02:05] Xdange1: yes [02:05] MrStonedOne: dpkg --set-selections is the first step, after that there is a command to install them, if you google with get and set you'll find it quick [02:05] question time.. rare [02:05] Can you tell me what [security] next to a package name means? (on packages.ubuntu.com) [02:05] Frederick: well that seems to be my case [02:05] Frederick: how do i reset the settings [02:05] about the root account.. when i change pass its wont work [02:05] kelsin: so remove iced, install jre and t should work? [02:05] linduxed: I would suggest using the sun-java6-jre package that's listed in the java list instead of ice-tead. It's working well and great for some things but it's not fully compatible with sun's java yet [02:05] Or better yet, how I look that up? [02:05] Xdange1: you can edit the file [02:06] yoyo, temporarily disable the repository that has the version you don't want. [02:06] hello [02:06] yoyo, then, in synaptic, reload and do the install. Then turn that repository back on. [02:06] kelsin: should i remove iced completely? [02:06] thanks kelsin [02:06] linduxed: up to you, but if you goal is just to use java on a home machine then yes I'd suggest that [02:06] I appear to be having an issue with dvdrip; when trying to use the program I encounter: The movie has 171092.736 frames, but only 146067 were ripped. This is most likely a problem with your transcode/libdvdread installation. I've checked the installs and even reinstalled them but keep getting this error. Any insight? [02:06] kelsin: thx === etotheipi is now known as _etotheip [02:07] I have found an issue in the command line expansion in Makefiles... it appears to only occur in Ubuntu (out of Fedora or OS X, which all use the same GNU Make 3.81) === carlos_ is now known as carlosss [02:07] Is there anything important I need to remember about mounting an ext3 external hard drive? 1/2 the time, it works fine. 1/2 the time, it mounts read-only. [02:07] 127.0.0.1 localhost [02:07] 127.0.0.1 infamous-ego.cm.flowja.com infamous-box.MSHOME [02:07] i dont kno whats wrong [02:08] I at first blamed bash, but the Fedora bash is older than 7.04, which is older than OS X 10.5, which is older than 7.10 [02:08] Xdange1: what's running slow? [02:08] how do i tell which version of fglrx i have? [02:08] fglrx -v? [02:08] sethk, it's not a good way. if i do apt-get upgrade later it will reinstall the normal package. i'd like to have upgrades from ubuntu but have my packages overwriting the standart one. [02:08] no fglrx is the ati driver [02:08] so the only consistent thing is Ubuntu, unless bash broke, fixed, and then broke again [02:08] kelsin: like i open a file it will take longer than the usual [02:08] sethk, and as i understood PPA have provision for what. [02:09] yoyo, then try moving the repository with the version you want above the other one. [02:09] why the words on amsn its so little that i cant read it ? [02:09] first i thought it was a hardrive issue [02:09] Xdange1: open a file in what, just the gnome text editor or something like that? [02:09] i tried on the top and at the end. [02:09] ok [02:09] Xdange1: is you lo interface up "ifconfig" in a terminal at least lists lo as up [02:09] figured I'd check here if anyone wants to try a 3 line Makefile... [02:09] hvgotcodes, fglrxinfo [02:10] oh the other weird thing is the expansion works properly on the command line itself... [02:10] yoyo, I never upgrade. I install what I need. wholesale upgrade is a really bad idea. Also, in synaptic, you can disable any part of the upgrade before doing the actual installs. [02:10] it seems to only break in Ubuntu, within a Makefile [02:10] is there any software that I can use to transfer music on to my zune in ubuntu? [02:10] is 8.34.8 the most recent? [02:10] having issues getting my mic working in innotek vbox... anyone know how to fix this issue? [02:10] do somebody use Launchpad PPA here and know about package naming for PPA to overwrite standard packages pls ? [02:10] ejt: can you post in pastebin a test file with your expansion and the behavior on different systems? [02:11] buttercups: is 8.34.8 the latest version [02:11] ? [02:11] kelsin: yes lo is up [02:11] sure... one sec [02:11] sethk, i need to keep the software up to date. :) [02:11] hey guys it looks like my system is hanging on 'set the clock' during my bootup. what is the appropreate logfile that shows my boot? [02:11] Anyone here familiar with inserting page numbers in OpenOffice? [02:11] yoyo: #launchpad ? [02:11] /var/log/boot? [02:11] yoyo, that is rarely true. You may _want_ to keep it up to date, but it's highly unlikely that you truly need to. [02:11] hvgotcodes, 7.11 is [02:12] crdlb, launchpad.net [02:12] kazol: what in particular? [02:12] kelsin: lo is up [02:12] yoyo: I mean have you tried #launchpad ? [02:12] is there any software that I can use to transfer music on to my zune in ubuntu? [02:12] hello [02:12] buttercups: how come doesnt show up for update? [02:12] can someone remind me how to update my path? [02:12] i enabled the restricted drivers [02:12] squidink: A document in Writer; I also want the numbers to start on the second page. [02:12] sethk, believe me i need [02:12] gaminggeek: why? [02:13] i didnt get it manually [02:13] crdlb, :) oh sorry, i will [02:13] yoyo, why? [02:13] ejt: at the top of your not working makefile can you set "SHELL = /bin/bash" and also try with "SHELL = /bin/sh"? [02:13] slowthy, does the zune use libmtp? if so rhythmbox with the "MTP Devices" plugin turned on may work [02:13] I have trouble with suspending my ubuntu box. Basically the machine becomes unresponsive afterwards. [02:13] because I have installed something manually and its not seeing the new libary it installed [02:13] Which is unacceptable. [02:13] :P [02:13] hvgotcodes, video drivers are not updated after a stable release of Ubuntu [02:13] !who | gaminggeek [02:13] gaminggeek: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:13] gaminggeek: what exactly? [02:13] kazol: I think you need to create a new section [02:13] jrib: swfmill [02:14] kelsin: here's what I was doing: http://pastebin.com/m33204849 [02:14] hi [02:14] I'll try the shell thing you suggest [02:14] sethk, cause i develop for a hardware platform and i use up to date softwares sometimes even SVN.. [02:14] gaminggeek: the system path is defined in /etc/environment, if you just want to set it yourself you can add "export PATH=/usr/local/bin;$PATH" in your .bashrc, obviously replace /usr/local/bin whith what you need [02:14] jrib: swfmill: error while loading shared libraries: libswft.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [02:14] squidink: Section? [02:14] i need a package (imagemagick) compiled with a specific option (lossless jpeg) - is there any way to do this via ubuntus package management or do i have to compile it manually? [02:14] yoyo, that means you need to have newer version of software. It doesn't mean you have to be lazy and just upgrade everything. [02:15] buttercups: Im intersted in having compositing goodness using xcompmgr, instead of relying on compiz-fusion. will upgrading that driver make xcompmgr better? compiz-fusion handles shadows/translucency no prob, but xcompmgr does not.... [02:15] kelsin: ahh, yes, it works with SHELL=/bin/bash at the top [02:15] sethk: sorry, we do not understand each others. [02:15] Hello [02:15] How do I view my bootlog? and is it possible to see my bootlog timestamped? [02:15] ejt: ubuntu uses dash for /bin/sh, it's posix compliant [02:15] gaminggeek: where is that file? [02:15] My mozilla-mplayer won't load any videos. Mplayer alone will. Can someone help [02:15] ? [02:16] ejt: so now you know that technically that syntax isn't posix :) but you can override the shell with SHELL obviously, glad that fix was easy lol [02:16] kelsin: hmm, so what of the expansion? is {h,cc} not posix compliant? [02:16] jrib: just updatedbing atm I will tell you when its done [02:16] I am trying to install ubuntu on a computer that has vista on it, and the partition menu doesn't see the hard drive [02:16] any ideas? [02:16] CommonClone: hmm [02:16] kelsin: (or is it just a bug in dash) [02:16] CommonClone: trouble. [02:16] ejt: yeah, if you run "/bin/sh -c 'ls file.{1,2}'" it will also complain [02:16] CommonClone: Im not much of an expert with grub, sorry [02:16] ejt: I'm not 100% but my best guess is that {} isn't in posix [02:17] ejt: a lot of normal bash stuff isn't [02:17] kelsin: wow, alrighty then, that's a new one for me, thanks! [02:17] jsoftw: Im in the gui partitioner [02:17] Oh right [02:17] CommonClone: what does it say the partitions are? [02:17] hvgotcodes, the new drivers are still buggy and new, although they do support compiz without xgl [02:18] jsoftw: it doesnt see any [02:18] CommonClone: what type of hard drive? just a normla ide of SATA internal? [02:18] jsoftw: WD normal ide [02:18] buttercups: im wondering if it will help non-compiz based compositing [02:19] how to lock ubuntu panel so user can not delete it [02:19] sorry, that was meant for you kelsin [02:19] CommonClone: hmmm... [02:19] CommonClone: strange. [02:21] how do I install from cmd line? [02:21] !apt > CommonClone (read the private message from ubotu) [02:21] hvgotcodes, probably not [02:21] hey guys, I am getting very poor performance from mplayer, it gets delayed on HD content and the aspect ratio is wrong, any idea? also my machine is a dual xeon 2.4ghz with 2gb ram, I had gentoo installed and everything ran very very smoothly, any ideas? x11 gives me the right aspect but xv, gl2 and others do not [02:22] CyberMad: look into pessulus and sabayon though I am not sure. library.gnome.org may help too [02:22] buttercups: if i get a new video card will any nvidia or intel graphics card be ok for that? [02:22] darwub: you using it from the cmd line? [02:23] jrib: /usr/local/lib/libswft.so.0 [02:23] gaminggeek: hmm weird, does runnig 'ldconfig' help? [02:23] hvgotcodes, don't know never had a nvidia, support for ati is horrible, i hear good things about nvidia [02:24] ok thanx [02:25] jrib: yes thank you that was the command I was looking for :) [02:25] jrib: i meant how do I install ubuntu from command line? [02:26] CommonClone: a text install? Use the alternate cd [02:26] CommonClone: You need the alternate CD [02:26] How do I remove GRUB? I just installed Windows OEM version and I get GRUB with error 17 [02:26] Hi all [02:26] how do i save files to SDA6 if it doesnt have mount point.. ? [02:26] smooker4: mount it [02:27] hi [02:27] how do i mount it ? [02:27] I can't just switch to cmd line mode and install? [02:27] if i click right i seee only unmount [02:27] CommonClone: no [02:27] smooker4: then it is probably mounted [02:28] but i cant save files there [02:28] this is unrelated but does anyone know what the Xbox 360 hacker irc channel is? [02:28] smooker4: why? what happens when you try? [02:28] what is the path ? i am trying to set KTorrent [02:28] this is un related too but: What impact may Kazza have if running on a companies PC? [02:28] smooker4: type 'mount' [02:28] is there any software that I can use to transfer music on to my zune in ubuntu? [02:28] where ?

[02:30] And if found you doing that on MY network, i would have you fired [02:30] atleast use a non-crap program [02:30] I will ask my support question as soon as I am sure I need to ask it here.

Yes, you can format it on the live cd, and yes there is a command line on the live system [02:30] yaro: uhm... ok [02:30] smooker4: yes, /media/sda6 is the mount point [02:31] Okay. I got it. [02:31] hey i just booted into ubuntu for the first time a week or so and i have 73 updates to install... but when i say "install now" 39 of the packages appear under "NOT AUTHENTICATED"... amongst these are perl, php5, and firefox. what does this mean? [02:32] jrib: it can't see my HD in the gui partitioner, I wanted to try it from the cmd line, but I tried fdisk /dev/hda and it tells me unable to open, I think vista did something dumb to the HD and now I can't see it [02:32] atleast use a non-crap program [02:32] wait [02:32] hellonull, your authentication key is outdated [02:32] forget that [02:32] I usually just ignore it [02:32] hellonull: that means for some reason the GPG key for your repos seem to be outdated or missing [02:32] !gpgerr > hellonull (hellonull, see the private message from Ubotu) [02:32] As far as I can tell, my problem is somewhat common, but a clear solution, as far as I can tell, has not been determined. My friend recommend I come here and ask. So I am. [02:32] is there any software that I can use to transfer music on to my zune in ubuntu? [02:32] hellonull: if you are only downloading from the offical repos you shouldn't have any problem [02:33] if you mix repositories... becareful [02:33] can someone help me with a mic issue with 7.10??? [02:33] CommonClone: did you use sudo? [02:33] slowthy: Does your zune show up like a USB harddrive? or what? [02:33] slowthy: not really, unless you count a VM product for running XP [02:33] slowthy: I think Zunes don't show at all, but then I don't own one [02:33] they dont [02:33] jrib: I'm dumb...let me try [02:33] I just updated to the latest version of Ubuntu and I'm now getting an error message saying that the Gnome Settings Daemon failed to load, that it was started too many times??? Has anyone come across this issue and know of a fix? [02:33] CaptainBoots: you should check for errors in ~/.xsession-errors [02:34] Anyway, my problem is this: My sound on Flash has stopped working, and every solution I found on the forums didn't work. [02:34] Thanks Kelsin let me dive in there real quick [02:35] How does one get there mic working in gusty? [02:35] slowthy: there's no current solution for syncing a Zune with a Linux machine, you'll have to use XP somehow, either virtualized or actual [02:35] slowthy: and it's a bit understandable, since guess who's selling the Zune? :P [02:35] jrib: in /dev, there is no hd*, so I guess linux isn't detecting it, any ideas? [02:35] I have one, jrib/. [02:36] CommonClone: sda? [02:36] ghost: would avant-window-navigator repos (tuxfamily.org) be a potential source of this problem? [02:36] Yis. That was what I was going to say. [02:36] yaro: one what? [02:36] CommonClone: Ubuntu assigns all disks an sd* name [02:36] jrib: NOPE [02:36] Look for an sda in /dev/ [02:36] opps sorry [02:36] CommonClone: what does 'sudo fdisk -l' do?

[02:38] sudo what [02:38] but when i want to save torrents to /media/sda6 the programs azureus and KTorrent fail cant create directory for the torrent [02:38] smooker4: check chmod [02:38] Frederick: to get the latest driver ect setup for my 8800, i downloaded an instller called Envy to do the leg work [02:38] Depends on what exactly you are writing.

[02:44] BSG75: Azureus, since it runs on JVM, does have some pretty high memory consumption [02:44] much appreciated [02:44] i just go with whats out of the box [02:45] Wow that was a big help [02:45] How do I remove GRUB? [02:45] How UBER tuff is is there ?? [02:45] nerdsquad3210: well since dynamic swap was a pretty advanced and unneeded feature, probably not for a while [02:45] RazzoRz: question? [02:45] Casey: install a different boot loader [02:45] My mic on gusty [02:45] RazzoRz: what about it? [02:45] Is it considered good etiquette to ask a question a second time? [02:45] it just dont work [02:45] yaro: its fine if you don't spam [02:45] RazzzoRz: why not? [02:45] sound works fine [02:45] just notmy mic [02:46] scguy318: I have Win98 Dell OEM version installed and I get GRUB error 17 so I booted into a livecd. What to do? [02:46] RazzzoRz: have you checked mixer settings? [02:46] yes [02:46] Kelsin: [1196822554,000,xklavier.c:xkl_engine_start_listen/] The backend does not require manual layout management - but it is provided by the application[1196822554,000,xklavier.c:xkl_engine_start_listen/] The backend does not require manual layout management - but it is provided by the applicationCould not initialize GStreamer: Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal [02:46] its no muted [02:46] I am having trouble getting my Flash Plugin to play sound. It used to, but now it doesn't anymore. It's been broken since at least this morning. [02:46] yaro just don't repeat it overly often, and be patient for answers, but since this channel scrolls fast, there's nothing wrong with restating the question once in a while [02:46] hey im kind of a linux/ubuntu noob, how would i make it so cairo-clock is always open and starts on computer start up [02:47] i bet theres some way for a program to use a specific HD location [02:47] Casey, if you want just Win98, boot with prompt and type fdisk /mbr [02:47] sorry is there a setting that i am missing?.. what should it be set at [02:47] after i changed priviledgies i stil cant save torrents or make new dirs without sudo :( [02:47] cabrioleur: how? [02:47] CaptainBoots: I would try backing up your gconf folder ("mv ~/.gconf ~/.gconf-bak") and see if you still have the problem [02:47] RazzoRz: what audio card is it? I'm no ALSA expert unfortunately [02:47] Robotchicken1886: immediate thought would be System -> Prefs -> session [02:47] i need to have write read acess to /dev/sda6 [02:47] smooker4: tell us what you did and what you are trying to do [02:47] thats a tuff one i not sure if i know!! [02:47] Robotchicken1886: add the command to run it to the System -> Preferences -> Sessions [02:47] Okay stand by [02:47] smooker4: what filesystem? [02:47] trying to save torrents on /dev/sda6 [02:47] tell me how to find out [02:48] ExT3 [02:48] hes trying to make file sharers look bad [02:48] smooker4: no, you want to save to /media/sda6 [02:48] when you put boot from cd it will give you choices. one of them is to boot to command prompt (or something like). use win 98 cd [02:48] wow im a retard thanks [02:48] RazzoRz: should say in the mixer? [02:48] yesx [02:48] how do I mount my hard drive from the live cd? [02:48] !who | smooker4 [02:48] smooker4: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:48] smooker4: is trying to make file sharers look bad [02:48] i cant save to /media/sda6 [02:48] smooker4: what is the output of: ls -ld /media/sda6 [02:48] Scguy318: yes HDA asla mixer [02:48] Alsa** [02:49] but i have two options [02:49] ubuntu__, find an empty directory, and mount /dev/device /dir (replace device with the one you want to mount) [02:49] drwxr-xr-x 4 smooker4 root 4096 2007-12-05 04:34 /media/sda6 [02:49] smooker4, that's a device pseudo file [02:49] smooker4, no, sorry [02:49] !alsa > RazzoRz (see PM from ubotu) [02:49] Oaky I think I'm gonna play with this some more . Thanky ou Kelsin [02:49] smooker4, I thought you said /dev/sda, not /media [02:50] RazzoRz: I think there's some known covered issues with Intel HDA thats mentioned in the Ubuntu Wiki [02:50] i was wrong i meant /media [02:50] that or sigmatel stac9200 ( oss mixer [02:50] smooker4: then you can write to it. Does 'touch /media/sda6/foobar' work? [02:50] cabrioleur: when I do that it says I must specify a filesystem [02:50] type* [02:50] smooker4, ah, ok, I thought I saw that. Do "mount" (no arguments), make sure it isn't mounted read only. Try a copy with sudo. [02:50] ubuntu__, what file system you are trying to mount? [02:50] how do ubuntu staff feels about having MINT ripping your distro ? [02:51] !ot | nerdsquad3210 [02:51] nerdsquad3210: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:51] cabrioleur: idk, just trying to mount my hard drive [02:51] nerdsquad3210: #ubuntu-offtopic, not here, thanks. [02:51] :) [02:51] cabrioleur: or floppy drive, but that's not listed in fstab and idk how to add it [02:51] i need to save my files there :( but i cant i want to be able to create simply files and folders as i do on my desktop, withour have to add any password, otherwise its impossible for the torrent clients. [02:51] RazzoRz: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller may be of interest [02:52] smooker4: did touch work? [02:52] ty [02:52] smooker4: tweak your fstab [02:52] nothing as output.. [02:52] try "mount -t msdos /dev/device /dir" [02:52] smooker4: is there now a "foobar" file in sda6? [02:52] smooker4, try the copy with sudo. if that works, we know we have to change permissions. [02:52] yes [02:52] there is a file foobar [02:52] hi, if I have a 2x100gb and 1x50gb hard disk, what's the maximum space I'd get with a raid 5? I guess it would be 150gb? [02:52] smooker4: then you can write fine [02:52] Any iMovie users? [02:53] Too bad it don't show my 9200 as a optio [02:53] option** [02:53] if you want to add to fstab, something like "/dev/device /dir msdos defaults,users 0 0" should be enough [02:53] cabrioleur: didn't work :/ [02:53] smooker4: try sudo /. [02:53] Fezzler: on #macintosh perhaps [02:53] RazzoRz: look at it again :) [02:53] k [02:53] i cant but torrent client cant write [02:54] nerdsquad3210: what is that supposed to do? [02:54] ubuntu__, what device are you using? [02:54] make all hes troubles go away ? [02:54] smooker4: are you writing to sda6 or a subdirectory? [02:54] Azureus said "error: failed to create parent directory 'media/sda6/downloads/game... [02:54] or was it sudo ./ ? [02:54] jrib: nerdsquad3210's command does absolutely nothing but cause a command not found error [02:54] cabrioleur: fd0 is my floppy, hda is my hard drive [02:54] nerdsquad3210: please try to be helpful [02:54] writing at /mdeia/sda6/downloads/game.. [02:55] smooker4: that is the full error? [02:55] smooker4: you need to copy and paste errors, not retype them [02:55] ubuntu__, try "sudo modprobe msdos" before you mount. [02:55] smooker4: Check that your user account has write permission AND that sda6 isn't in fact full. [02:56] Error: Failed to create parent directory '/media/sda6/downloads/Unreal.Tournament.3-AVENGEDd' (allocateFiles:/avd-ut3.iso) [02:56] Anyone available to privately converse on the philosophy of Linux? Personal assessment I suppose... [02:56] thats the full error [02:56] scguy318: ok i see the /proc/asound/card0/codec#0:Codec: SigmaTel STAC9200 ( now what? ) [02:56] Does anyone know of a app or driver to give reiserfs support to xp and vista? [02:56] RazzoRz: read the suggestions [02:56] smooker4: cafuego makes a good point, does 'df -h' say sda6 is full? [02:56] ghost: theres a read-only one I think, dunno name or link [02:56] smooker4, do you ave the writing permission (I feel bed to support piracy)? [02:56] i reformated my pc before 3 days its not full [02:57] smooker4: he has write permissions to sda6 [02:57] ghost: It's highly unlikely such a thing exists. [02:57] ghost: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/susenovell-60/accessing-reiserfs-from-windows-xp-380966/ [02:57] hey i just created a new partition, if i install windows to it, will it interfere with GRUB? [02:57] isnt sda an external drive ? [02:57] smooker4: Can you check first and THEN say it's not full? [02:57] Dankchild: yes, see !grub [02:57] thanks dark [02:57] Scguy318: wow sorry i must be blind... [02:57] thanks dark_ninja [02:57] anybody willing to offer up their opinion on the best/easiest/most compatible wlan adapter for a laptop? I was thinking linksys WPC54G :-) thanks in advance [02:57] what do i need to know on making a linux operating systwm to make it? [02:57] i dont see the Suggestions [02:57] np [02:57] i checked [02:57] Dankchild, if grub is in mbr. It will not if grub is in the first partition :-) [02:57] its not full [02:57] isnt sda an external drive ? [02:57] !who | smooker4 [02:57] smooker4: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:58] RazzoRz: bottom of page? [02:58] vanberge: An atheros based one would probably be best. [02:58] nerdsquad3210: No, sda isn't always external. [02:58] I've used Ubuntu countless of times, and I really like it, but most of the stuff I do is Windows-related. I think that it would be a hassle to have to find alternatives/use WINE to run most of my Windows-only applications. Can anyone give me some convincing reasons/sites to look at to actually convince me to switch to Ubuntu? I've read all the way through http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net. [02:58] dev/sda6 49G 180M 46G 1% /media/sda6 [02:58] RazzoRz: theres like 6 workarounds and the thing at the bottom of the page might be relevant [02:58] Yep i am blind [02:58] nerdsquad3210: no, it's one that uses the scsi subsystem, DATA drives count [02:58] vanberge: Note that linksys and other manufacturers have a habit of changing chipsets without changing model (or revision) numbers. [02:58] blah569: what do you do? [02:58] smooker4: ok, ls -ld /media/sda6/downloads/' [02:58] jrib: isnt sda supossed to be an external drive ? [02:58] smooker4: Is sda6 an ntfs disk? [02:58] cabrioleur: yeah, its on the second partition.. [02:58] nerdsquad3210, not enymore :-) [02:58] blah569: if you have windows only apps that you can't live without linux might not be for you [02:58] nerdsquad3210: not necessarily [02:58] Anyone willing to give some time to talk to a newb at Linux? [02:58] EXT3! [02:58] !grub [02:58] 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 [02:59] cafuego, an atherios one? i thought those were 'hard to use' or hard to get working? [02:59] Tmang: if you've got a question, you may ask it here, if OT talk you can head on over to #ubuntu-offtopic or PM me [02:59] smooker4: Can you create files in the directory in question when on the commandline? [02:59] I want to use Linux thoug. [02:59] though* [02:59] blah569: what do you do? [02:59] vanberge: Not really. [02:59] cafuego: yes, he has [02:59] blah569: on Windows [02:59] yes i created one [02:59] to sda6 anyway [02:59] I mainly do PHP, C++, etc, but I also do Flash. [02:59] Dankchild, if grub is on the second partition then it will not. However, if you did not modify anything from ubuntu install it's in mbr and it will destroy it :-) [02:59] * cafuego shuts up [02:59] whats the command for installing ndiswrapper [02:59] but with browser or torrent i cant [02:59] smooker you need to set uid 666 [02:59] cafuego, i'm looking for "plug it in, use it with WPA2, and dont have to mess with ndiswrapper" [02:59] Also, .NET. [03:00] And Photoshop CS3. [03:00] michael: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SetupNdiswrapperHowto [03:00] michael "apt-get install ndiswrapper" [03:00] or was it 777 ? [03:00] ty ty [03:00] vanberge: Yes, atheros. The nice intel ones don't come as external cards. [03:00] blah569: for programming there are some IDEs of interest on Linux, Flash probably have to run on Wine, if that works [03:00] vanberge: Though I don't know if they do WPA2/. [03:00] Flash 8 works on WINE, as I've heard, but Flash CS3 doesn't, I think. [03:00] blah569: .NET devel mebbe Mono/MonoDevelop, CS3 ehhh good luck with that, GIMP may or may not be for you [03:00] blah569: well code editing is great on linux, there are equivalent (maybe not equal to, but close) versions of everything else except flash [03:01] I prefer Photoshop over Gimp. [03:01] cafuego, do you use wlan ? [03:01] "The Gimp" [03:01] smooker4: what's your fstab? [03:01] I mainly do programming. [03:01] what means fstab ? [03:01] vanberge: yup [03:01] cafuego, do you use WPA2 ? :-) [03:01] anyone here use a kworld atsc110 tv card in ubuntu? [03:01] smooker4: /etc/fstab? [03:01] smooker4: you are mounting your NTFS part with NTFS-3G and proper fstab entry right? [03:01] vanberge: WPA1-PEAP afaik [03:01] I'd partion my hard drive and keep Windows, but I can't see a reason to actually install Ubuntu. [03:02] fstab is the dir were the system looks for mounting points [03:02] blah569: I suggest dual booting then, it sounds like you are very attached to the couple of windows-only uses [03:02] how about *one* person help smooker4, I give up [03:02] my partition is ext3 [03:02] cafuego - that would be fine with me... do you have an atheros card? [03:02] blah569: well until you try it and realize the power, esp when coding, you probably never will [03:02] blah569, if the performance off the cd is adequate for you, then there is no need. [03:02] nerdsquad3210: fstab isn't a directory, it's a file [03:02] can i help smooker4 ? [03:02] cafuego, right now i can only get my card to connect WEP by using ndiswrapper [03:02] pls pls pls [03:02] vanberge: Atheros, Intel and broadcom. They all work just fine. [03:02] triple booting. xp, buntu and studio. Is there a recommenced spot for /swap for best results? tween buntu and studio fr example or does it not matter [03:03] nerdsquad3210: if you have relevant info, go for it [03:03] help then y ure asking :( [03:03] peacepipej1: where swap is doesn't matter at all, if you have one partition they can both use it fine [03:03] how very relevant [03:03] helo! [03:03] peacepipej1: don't sweat too much over swap, if you need to be using swap adding RAM is probably a good idea :) [03:03] anybody miss me> [03:03] hehe [03:03] no [03:03] jc_denton: hello [03:03] kelsin: k,thx [03:04] I may just buy another computer and install Ubuntu on that, and use that computer as my "test my software for Ubuntu" computer. === smooker4 is now known as smookerPC1 [03:04] have anyone any luck with gusty network printing [03:04] blah569: just install 2 ubuntus on the same computer [03:05] norman, sure. avahi + samba [03:05] nerdsquad3210: why two? [03:05] so.. i guess ill have to move all torrents from my desktop to sda6, not just save them there. [03:05] blah569: Ubuntu installs and runs just fine in vmware [03:05] does any one know of a program to run in the cammand line that is a podcast download utility [03:05] norman, sure [03:05] I know your a busy fellow scguy318 but I Pm'd you when your available [03:05] I have emulated Ubuntu in vBox, but it crashes on my Vista, but it ran fine on my XP, which this laptop doesn't have anymore :(. [03:05] !register > Tmang (see PM from ubotu) [03:05] why not qemu ? [03:06] I never understood qemu [03:06] gparted and the installer do not detect my IDE HD, can someone help please? [03:06] i have 2 ubuntu machine one desktop one laptop ,did not think i need samba [03:06] blah569, nerdsquad3210: QEMU is pretty darn slow without the acceleration module or w/e its called [03:06] vmware isnt open source [03:06] How well does qemu run under windows? [03:06] can someone help me? i like to know how to check parameters of my parallelport (i got a x1541 cable connected to a 1541 c64 floppy drive) [03:06] norman, you don't, you can just configure cups to share [03:06] what do i need to know about making an os to make it? [03:06] CommonClone, did you try to look for it in the menu? [03:06] there a gui for that in gutsy, btw [03:07] cafuego: not very well when I was testing a ReactOS image [03:07] nerdsquad3210: The bios in your computer is also not open source. But you're still using it. [03:07] jc_denton, you can find info about the hardware in the /sys directory [03:07] cabrioleur: which menu? [03:07] so is the hardware [03:07] cafuego: I tried fiddling with acceleration service driver or w/e it's called, but I wasn't particularly versed in the knowledge [03:07] k i look there [03:07] nerdsquad3210: exactly === Tmang is now known as Trilobyte [03:08] CommonClone, I think in top right corner there was a disk chooser, a simple pool-out menu. [03:08] thats why hardware and software are verydifrent [03:08] dark tried using the gui no luck can you point me to a doc === Trilobyte is now known as Nidhogg === Nidhogg is now known as Ogre [03:09] nerdsquad3210: I'm a firm believer in the right-tool-for-the-job philosophy. it makes so much easier. [03:09] norman, samba will give you more control and compatibility, so I recommend. [03:09] Bah, I just wis I had some convinceing reasons to actually use Ubuntu. [03:09] cabrioleur: in the installer? === Ogre is now known as Union [03:09] cafuego: what made you comr from debian to ubuntu ? [03:09] norman, if you're in the mood for editing your cups config, here: http://occy.net/printing === Union is now known as POW [03:10] CommonClone, I don't know much about gui's. I did it manually. It took ab. 15 min. === POW is now known as Positronic [03:10] CommonClone, sorry, yes [03:10] cabrioleur: how do I do it manually [03:10] this might also help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=163882 [03:10] nerdsquad3210: Less PITA to get a decent desktop up and running. [03:10] I have a question. A virus that is written for windows, will it effect linux? [03:10] T70K5: no [03:10] CommonClone, manually what. edit partition? open terminal and type parted. [03:11] thx scguy318 [03:11] CommonClone, or sudo parted. [03:11] cabrioleur: ok [03:11] T70K5: no [03:11] some virus are system independent [03:11] what do you mean by that? [03:11] thaey run both on windows and linux [03:11] T70K5, if you run it in wine, in some circumstances, there is a chance for some... [03:11] Howdy [03:12] and java for that mater [03:12] nerdsquad3210: Java is a poor platform for malware, slow, and what's there to exploit? [03:12] oh ok [03:12] can someone tell me if there is a way to put media controls on the taskbar? like rewind skip and stuff? [03:12] scguy318: knolege is power hid it well ;D [03:12] like wmp does when minimized [03:12] 0378-037a : parport0 guess i found it? [03:13] cabrioleur: I'm on the live cd, I dont think it will let me [03:13] Does anyone know of another site besides http://www.whylinuxisbetter.com that has convincing reasons to use Ubuntu? [03:13] t70k5, there are root kits designed specifically for linux, but those are extremely rare, and there has never been a "real" propagating virus that has effectively exploited a GNU/Linux system [03:13] Meh, I guess I can do some Googling. [03:13] kiyoshi_wolf: yes it is possible [03:13] Anyone know if its possible to dedicated a cpu to a virtual machine? [03:13] CommonClone, pull-out the menu Administration -> partitioning [03:13] hello? [03:13] blah569: just use it, it's a better way of using a computer, you control it, it's free, it's open, try it for a week and see, nothing ot lose [03:13] Would be cool to get a quad core cpu and run an OS on each one [03:13] how [03:13] MACscr1077: Yes, you can. [03:13] does anyone know how apache2 knows to display phpmyadmin ? its not in the /var/www folder or in the sites-enabled folder..? [03:14] MACscr1077: you can't really do that if you mean natively, unless you mean some sort of hypervisor solution [03:14] CommonClone, I think the password for sudo in live-cd is the same as login: ubuntu [03:14] kiyoshi_wolf: how adept are you at scripting? [03:14] cabrioleur: it says no devices detected and wont let me use the menus [03:14]

What is the best way to convert five wmv files to an xvid video file? [03:14] it's better to have the hypervisor do it and give 3 CPUs to a REALLY BUSY vm and let the other three idle on a single cpu. [03:14] MACscr1077 with VMWare u can :) i runned in XP 2 Oss before, on AthlonX2 [03:14] uh not at all [03:14] HI all! How do I delete files/folders before a particular date? I want to clean up some log files. [03:14] p: why would you want to do that? [03:14] blah569, there is not much convincing reasons to use ubuntu at all. [03:14] ae: look in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled [03:15] Im playing with parallels currently [03:15] anyone else having problems with firefox installing the flash plugin automatically? [03:15] ae: though i thought it used to be a symlink in /var/www [03:15] MACscr1077: Of course, 4 cores doesn't limit you to 4 OSes. [03:15] !wireless [03:15] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:15] cabrioleur: it says no devices detected and wont let me use the menus [03:15] Was thinking about running xp, ubuntu, osx, and vista =P [03:15]

bazhang_, because two reasons: I want to cat this 5 files in just 1 file. And I want to be free from microsoft plugins [03:15] * cafuego runs 12-odd Linux installs on the one box.

[03:16] well never mind banshee is close enough [03:16] cabrioleur: says cannot open disk drive [03:16] ae: check /etc/apache2/conf.d as well [03:16] scguy318: which for some reason makes it think it's installed when really it says that it wasn't installed *and when you go to a page with flash it doesn't show up* [03:16] dsnyders: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-newbie/18849-delete-files-older-than-set-date-number-hours.html [03:16] i dont belive you [03:16]

bazhang_, I'm over ubuntu... I'm trying to do my job using mencoder.. Why do I need to ask for a windows user? [03:17] tanlaan: try doing sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree? [03:17] p: to see if its even possible [03:17] * chalcedony waves [03:17] CommonClone, check the cables :-) [03:17] smooker4: what is the output of 'ls -ld /media/sda6/downloads/' [03:17]

bazhang_, off course it is possible to convert.. but I'm looking for the best way [03:17] dsnyders: you can use the find command [03:17] Lunch time! [03:18] p: then use the way you know :} [03:18] go to /dev and type "ls sd*". do you see something? [03:18] cabrioleur: cables are all good, vista is on it, but it quit working [03:18] bazhang_: LOL [03:18] p: don't know, but I would probably start looking at mencoder from mplayer first off [03:18]

bazhang_, not working good.. I'm loosing some frames and the audio is being desyncronized [03:18] kelsin: thanks [03:18]

kelsin, yes.. I'm trying it too! [03:18] CommonClone, can you at least start loading vista, or it just gives up from the beginning? [03:18] scguy318: that should end up being the same as if I do sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree which gives me that error also *along with the plugin thing for firefox* [03:18] it will go to the login [03:19] cabrioleur: it will go to the login [03:19] nerdsquad3210: :} [03:19] cabrioleur: but thats it [03:19] CommonClone, type "ls /dev/sd*". can you see anything? [03:19] thanks for the help finding the phpahmin reference - it was in conf.d :) [03:19] 하이 [03:20] cabrioleur: do I have to sudo that [03:20] nethuman: this is an English channel [03:20] CommonClone, no [03:20] how is it that the sudo command is suposed to make ubuntu safer ? [03:20] roflol [03:20] nerdsquad3210, one less password to be brute forced [03:20] cabrioleur: says "ls: do such file or directory [03:21] bazhang_, this is a channel for everybody, regardless language etc. [03:21] anyone have trouble installing netbeans 6.0 on Gutsy? the installer for me hangs at "/usr/share/themes/Glossy/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:35: error: lexical error or unexpected token, expected valid token" maybe a different theme is called for? [03:21] nerdsquad3210: it helps enforce the proper way to do things, not just opening root shells all over the place [03:21] i mean ls: /dev/sd*; No such file or directory [03:21] cabrioleur: agreed--as long as they speak English [03:21] acant i sudo using several shell at once ? [03:22] !sudo | nerdsquad3210 [03:22] nerdsquad3210: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [03:22] nerdsquad3210: that's the discussion for your information [03:22] bazhang_, free yourself. speak French! [03:22] where are all the avid GIMP users? [03:22] cant i sudo using several shell at once ? [03:22] merci cabrioleur [03:22] cabrioleur: says "ls: /dev/sd*; do such file or directory [03:22] bazhang_, de nada. [03:23] CommonClone, did you try any other distribution? [03:23] cabrioleur: no [03:23] cabrioleur: but I can [03:23] CommonClone, that would be a good idea. Ubuntu is pranky sometimes. [03:23] cabrioleur: ok [03:23] zetheroo, right here [03:24] help -l [03:25] hi, I have a newbie SSH question... [03:25] hi everybody... [03:25] !ask | Mikkel [03:25] Mikkel: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [03:25] I'm trying to get a process to persist after I close the SSH session (running a remote server so that's my only access) [03:25] heh, sorry :) [03:26] Mikkel: look into screen [03:26] okay, thanks [03:26] Mikkel: you run screen on the remote server, run your stuff in there, then Ctrl-a D to disconnect, then you can exit and when you log in later you can "screen -r" to bring it back [03:26] yes screen is very useful I use it with irssi [03:26] CaptainMorgan: your the avid GIMP user? [03:26] Mikkel: there are lots of screen tutorials out there, it's a great tool :) I do also Palintheus [03:27] greetings chaps! [03:27] is there any way to get AWN to have stacks, like leopard? [03:27] Could someone please help me out? [03:27] !ask | filth [03:27] filth: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [03:27] !ask | filth [03:27] great, thanks for the help... wasn't sure what to search for :) === cimot_niez_bdg is now known as ^^cE_Cri_TmN_Fs^ [03:28] Oh thank you ubotu [03:28] i need a torrent client that allows you to set a minimun free disk space i just spent 30 min walking a relative through freeing up space in single user shell any suggestions? [03:28] tell her to stop downloading so much [03:28] lol [03:28] I have issues with games (warsow and sauerbraten) and my audio driveers, or rather, lack of audio drivers. However to add a twist, Amarok still plays audio no worries [03:29] zetheroo, it's "you're" not your [03:29] pike_, make a partition for your data, and save the torrents there.. when its full its full, without taking down your box [03:29] anyone using netbeans on Gutsy ? [03:29] filth: those games use OSS? [03:29] Capt I have [03:29] STACKS in AWN? [03:29] pike__: rtorrent can do that, a long with lots of other stuff, it's a command line torrent client though, I love it [03:29] I am not too sure, i think SDL? [03:29] hello everyone [03:29] yeah.. i guess ill need to make a shared partition or somesuch itll need to be gui [03:29] zetheroo, don't send pm's without asking first [03:30] pike__: well... actually rtorrant can be setup so any .torrents you drop in a file start up [03:30] pike__: so if it's setup write could be the easiest of them all [03:30] CaptainMorgan: so now that you have corrected me on 2 accounts of illegal conduct ... can I ask my question? [03:30] I need to format a hard drive and I want to make sure the data is completely erased. What tool can I use (gui is the best option for me). Thanks [03:30] pike__: right* [03:30] Would a laptop with a 1.1 Ghz processor, 30 GB Hard drive, and 512 MB of ram be enough to run a light webserver? [03:31] zetheroo, don't ask to ask - that's three. go lookup channel etiquette [03:31] warriorforgod: def, depends on your definition of "light" of course, but I think so [03:31] CaptainMorgan: ease up [03:31] Warsow uses Openal and Fg or something [03:31] warriorforgod, of course. webservers have been in existance since the 80s [03:31] joelmontes01: there is a 'wipe' application but if youre using journaling which ext3 is then its a question of how sure you want to be. a simple rm *; cat /dev/urandom > file.txt; rm file.txt might work as well [03:32] CaptainMorgan: ok... three offences .... can PM you now? [03:32] joelmontes01, you may want to look into a secure erase tool if it is important that the data be irretrievable. [03:32] pike_, the harddrive had windows before hand [03:32] Plase someone help me :( [03:32] zetheroo, just ask your question, here in this channel, so we all can see if we know the answer. come on.. [03:32] OK, next question. How could I take an installed webserver and clone it to the laptop hard drive? [03:32] zetheroo: ask your question in channel, more people to help [03:32] ive looked on forums to no success [03:32] filth: what's the exact nature of the issues? any logs to paste? [03:32] warriorforgod, erm. you want to clone the whole OS and everything? [03:32] So, Im pretty knew at this, and I'm having trouble with my wireless card, right now I'm wired, and I was wondering if anyone else has a D Link DWL 570 or could help me figure out my issue [03:32] one second [03:33] Rubin: yes [03:33] feel free to PM me [03:33] joelmontes01: at my work we have very strick standards for data so that wouldnt work but if its a personal comp it should be fine [03:33] warriorforgod, theres a freebsd tool calld G4U that can do that for you.. [03:33] warriorforgod, dd :-) [03:33] zetheroo, not right now, too busy -- just shout your question, it probably would've been answered in this time you've spent [03:33] Hello everyone, when I plug in my headphones, the speakers do not mute. My sound driver is snd-hda-intel (Realtek High Definition Audio), I have the latest alsa packages, what's wrong? [03:33] can you open CMYL PSD files in the GIMP? [03:33] zetheroo: no [03:33] joelmontes01: just format it ext3 then cat /dev/urandom > /media/myhardrive/file.txt or something [03:34] !traffic [03:34] NOTICE - There is a lot of traffic in this channel at the moment. Please try to keep your sentences into a single message, avoid repeating the same question multiple times, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org for pasting, remember to mention the nickname of the person you're addressing, and join #ubuntu-offtopic for anything that is not Ubuntu support. Thank you for understanding! [03:34] zetheroo: right now gimp's internal engine is completely 8bit rgb [03:34] kelsin: ill consider rtorrent [03:34] pike__: you can set it up so all torrents in a folder get run until space is low or a ratio limit is set (or many other things), will take a sec to setup right, but then requires no thought [03:34] ffs. [03:35] Wow...crazy flooding going on in the other channel [03:35] wtf [03:35] if i order a T1 line, i'd need a T1 card, right? it's not just standard ethernet? [03:35] that was... neat [03:35] smultron: correct. [03:35] amazing that the DCC hack is still affecting people === xp_prg is now known as xp_gone [03:36] what dcc hack [03:36] ok... has this room stopped its glitching? [03:36] CaptainMorgan: not that amazing. people are 1 - uninformed and/or 2: lazy [03:36] did I excess flood in here? [03:36] Anyway :> Hello...I'm creating a GPG key so that I can sign e-mail correspondences over webmail...what would be a reasonable key size to ensure that the e-mails can't be read by, e.g. Google's casual scanning for advertisments? :> [03:36] gosh that was nerve-wrecking [03:36] jonez: do they sell any converter boxes or anything like that? [03:36] only four? [03:36] oops. [03:36] So, Im pretty knew at this, and I'm having trouble with my wireless card, right now I'm wired, and I was wondering if anyone else has a D Link DWL 570 or could help me figure out my issue [03:37] orochi_: pretty much anything, the default gpg key size is plenty [03:37] CaptainMorgan: it wasn't a dcc hack. we can discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:37] feel free to PM me [03:37] !wifi | Eje004 [03:37] Eje004: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:37] Eje004: [21:24:06] well, it's the only one I've used so far [03:37] [21:24:09] so yeah I guess [03:37] oops [03:37] I looked at all that [03:37] orochi_, gpg has a readme that explains the keysizes [03:37] xchat users: to flush you send q, use the command /FLUSHQ [03:37] Eje004: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SetupNdiswrapperHowto may be of interest [03:37] umm.... I was asking about the GIMP ... and the whole room just become a mess ... so I had to close Pidgin to stop all these error messages from appearing..... anyone answer my question? [03:38] zetheroo: gimp's engine is only rgb 8bit [03:38] nalioth, no thanks [03:38] thanks [03:38] kelsin, Rubin: Thanks, I'll take both of those into consideration :> Maybe I'll take a look at the whole README anyway [03:38] zetheroo: it can not open cmyk or anything above 8bits per channel [03:38] is it possible to change a user's password if tye don't remember what it is? [03:38] itrebal: root can, (or a sudo user) [03:39] root is disabled, and theres only one account [03:39] Hello everyone, on my Toshiba laptop with Realtek High Definition Audio (snd-hda-intel), the speakers do not mute when headphones are plugged in. I am running the latest alsa packages. Any suggestions? [03:39] kelsin: ok... see I heard that using a Plugin you can open CMYK images which will be converted to RGB -- which is how they can be edited --- and then you can save them again as CMYK...... [03:39] itrebal: then no, you can mount that drive from a live cd probably and do it [03:40] zetheroo: probably, google for it, imagemagick (convert etc) can probably do that too, but for editing them, no [03:40] are the passwords stored in /etc/shaddow unique to a specific computer? or can any computer generate them [03:40] could there be a frickin update that doesn't kill suspend?? [03:40] jerbear: no. :P [03:40] itrebal, you mean can you copy them from one to another? yes [03:40] any1 know where I can get an webmail e-mail address w/o typing a billion forms? I'd prefer an obscure site. [03:40] ok, thanks [03:40] kelsin: also why is there a CMYL panel in the GIMP? [03:40] i'm assuming there are others who have broken suspend? [03:40] itrebal: any computar with the same crypt() function (which is pretty much all) can [03:40] jerbear, suspend/hibernate is a kinda risky endevor with linux still these days [03:41] hmm [03:41] my other PC got forwarded to another channel [03:41] Rubin: seemed to work perfectly with feisty... [03:41] SmookerPC1/Smooker4 [03:41] zetheroo: what panel are you talking about? [03:41] jerbear, its working ok for me .. its hardware dependant [03:41] thanks [03:41] jerbear, try searching for your laptop, and ubuntu or linux on google.. [03:41] techqbert, have you tried your isp? Most of them have web interfaces for email these days. [03:42] Rubin: like i said, it worked perfectly in feisty and it worked for a while in gutsy... it only broke with the latest os updates... hardly a hardware issue [03:42] zetheroo: do you mean the cmyk color selector? [03:42] dsnyders: I need an obscure e-mail provider. I have gmail comcast hotmail accts [03:42] jerbear, could still be. depends on what drivers you have loaded etc [03:42] kelsin: I open the GIMP and in the Layers. Channels etc panel there is a CMYK color selector [03:42] yes [03:42] jerbear, what happens? [03:43] Rubin: don't think so, sorry.... nothing has changed except for the latest update [03:43] zetheroo: yeah just a color selector, images are only internally respresented as 8-bit rgb [03:43] Rubin: it seems to suspend fine, but when it tries to resume, it goes into this endless loop of nothing, then a black screen with mouse, then nothing [03:43] kelsin: ok... but you can import and export CMYK to and from RGB with the help of a Plugin ... right!? === itrebal is now known as [itrebal_sleep] [03:44] jerbear, sounds like X is crashing/restarting/crashing hmm [03:44] jerbear, what kind of videocard? [03:44] zetheroo: you said that not me, probably, that would make sense [03:45] Rubin: intel mobile 915gm/gms/910gml express graphics [03:45] anyone know how i can get Pidgin to load on startup? [03:45] i have that one jerbear [03:45] has anyone here ever had success importing a CMYK PSD file into the GIMP using a plugin? [03:45] AgentHeX: System -> Preferences -> Sessions -> last tab [03:45] AgentHeX, got to [03:45] jerbear, hmm that chipset is still a bit buggy driverwise from what i have read. what laptop is it? [03:45] AgentHeX: then jam the save session button with Pidgin running [03:45] alfermp_: yeh, i doubt it has anything to do with the vid card [03:46] Rubin: no problems with vid card... works fine [03:46] <[gquit]bombadil> i just installed a bunch of updates, and now when i start pidgin it gets stuck in some sort of infinite loop [03:46] scguy318: perfect, thanks. [03:46] AgentHeX, system > preference > sessions [03:46] jerbear, you are having problems though... [03:46] <[gquit]bombadil> does anyone know where pidgin keeps its config files [03:46] what's the best vncviewer in the repos? [03:46] I'm having trouble restoring a linux partition. I copied the partition using dd and installed grub but when I boot I get a kernel panic: "not synching VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0)" thoughts anyone? [03:46] alfermp_: got it already, thanks. [03:46] scguy318: now, might you know how to get the nvidia restricted driver to work in Xen? [03:47] Rubin: not with my video card... how you got to video card problems from suspend not working is beyond me [03:47] AgentHeX: not really unfortunately [03:47] :( [03:47] jerbear, just guessing [03:47] thats usually where suspend falls down [03:47] AgentHeX: in a xen Dom0 or DomU? [03:47] Rubin: i've never seen that [03:47] anyone know how to get Skype to follow the rest of Ubuntu font size and look? [03:48] Rubin: not to say that it's not possible... just never seen it [03:48] !governors [03:48] jerbear, try ctrl-alt-f1 a few times after resume, see if you can get a text console [03:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about governors - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:48] !governor [03:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about governor - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:48] whatcha wanna know about governors? [03:48] Rubin: that's a good idea.. i'll try that... at least it will tell me if it's X or not [03:48] jerbear, also try looking in /var/log/Xorg.* [03:49] lgc: the governor in California wouldn't mind terminating processes :P [03:49] hey quick question guys, if I ran a 32 bit OS, could I still run 64 bit applications? or does the OS need to be 32 bit? [03:49] zetheroo: try looking for your DPI settings in Xorg [03:49] HashBox the app needs to be 32 bit, afaik [03:49] HashBox: if you mean apps compiled for 64bit no [03:49] Rubin: nothing out of the ordinary there [03:49] damn [03:50] jerbear, is it a thinkpad? [03:50] Rubin: yes, t43 [03:50] <[gquit]bombadil> what is the command to upgrade your kernel in 7.10? [03:50] jerbear, oh, try adding the .. what was it. 1 sec [03:51] How can I find out what is running on a given port? localhost:8082 returns a web page and I'm wondering what it is. [03:51] jerbear, try adding acpi_sleep=s3_bios [03:51] zenwryly: "sudo lsof | grep 8082" will help, you can also nmap yourself [03:51] Rubin: to what? the kernel options? [03:51] to your boot config (/boot/grub/menu.1st, after ro quiet splash) [03:52] Rubin: do you have any docs on that? [03:52] Rubin: or links [03:52] on editing menu.1st or on the acpi thing? [03:52] Rubin: just curious to what it is before i add it [03:52] kelsin: thanks, I'll try that [03:52] jerbear, i had to do that on my T61 before suspend worked [03:52] i got it off the thinkwiki.org page [03:53] Rubin: i'll see if i can find some info on it [03:53] Rubin: may jump off irc to test [03:53] acpi is the bios interface that suspend uses [03:53] and that puts it into some other mode [03:54] Rubin: going to try it out... brb [03:54] how do I add a directory to my PATH?? [03:54] macabro22: why? [03:54] macabro22: the system path is in /etc/environment , or you can add a line to your .bashrc [03:54] jrib: I want to add skype to my path [03:55] macabro22: what is the full path to the skype binary? [03:55] someone here use Digg ? [03:55] hello, has anyone else had trouble with flash working on 64 bit ubuntu? [03:55] jrib: ~/programas/skype/skype_static-1.4.0.118-oss$ [03:55] hello all [03:56] greenmanspirit: a lot of people, flash is a 32bit program, if you google you will find a lot [03:56] macabro22: easiest way is to just put a symlink in /usr/local/bin/ [03:56] !flash64 [03:56] You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [03:56] kelsin: I just find it funny that the plugin is availible in the repos but it doesnt work [03:56] jrib: how exactly? [03:56] greenmanspirit: I was unaware the plugin was avaiable, on my 64bit servers it isn't [03:56] macabro22: sudo ln -s TARGET NAME [03:57] greenmanspirit: i don't see big difference between 32bits and 64bits to end user... except the headache...rsrrsrs [03:57] someone know about open source alternative to skype ? [03:57] greenmanspirit: lol [03:57] macabro22: target will be the path to skype and name will be /usr/local/bin/skype [03:57] al-_-Gir: Ekiga, though it can't utilize the Skype network [03:57] greenmanspirit: if using Gutsy, just install the flashplugin-nonfree package [03:57] Rubin: worked like a charm, man... thanks for the tip [03:57] jrib: so "sudo ln -s ~/programas/skype/skype_static-1.4.0.118-oss/skype? [03:57] jrib: just one thing [03:57] macabro22: no [03:57] Rubin: it actually seemed to resume almost 3 times as fast [03:58] scguy318: thats what I did and sites like youtube tell me that I do not have flash installed [03:58] greenmanspirit: I take that back :) my servers are still running fiesty, unfortunately I don't know anything about 64 flash plugin since my servers don't need it [03:58] jrib: I can't run skype by typing skype. I have to go to its directory and do ./skype [03:58] greenmanspirit: strange, you're not using NoScript by any chance are you? :P [03:59] macabro22: yes, creating the symlink resolves that, but you did not write the correct command [03:59] scguy318: I don't know what that is, so im guessing no [03:59] greenmanspirit: strange, try reinstalling flashplugin-nonfre by doing sudo aptitude reinstall flashplugin-nonfree [03:59] i need to be able to use this for something i need to do, can anyone help me? spark_2_5_8.tar.gz i untarred .. but now what? [04:00] Okay, strange question to be asking in an Ubuntu room, but does anybody know of a good backup program for Windows? I'm looking to back up to a rotating set of flash drives [04:00] jrib: "sudo ln -s ~/programas/skype/skype_static-1.4.0.118-oss$ skype"? [04:00] hi, my computer is having problems. I just rebooted, fsck is doing a check every 30 mounts, and it stopped at 70% and said "Duplicate or bad block in use" [04:00] Chadwick|359: why not ask in ##windows? [04:00] what does that mean? [04:00] Chadwick|359: I would read the README or INSTALL files in the tarball [04:00] Chadwick|359: you can clone partitions or drives with the dd command [04:00] Chadwick|359: rsync I think has a windows binary [04:01] Chadwick|359: that readme line was not for you sorry about that [04:01] macabro22: no, I'm not sure where you are getting the $ unless that is actually the name of the file. And for name, you want to give /usr/local/bin/skype unless you are in /usr/local/bin/ [04:01] chalcedony: I would look at the README or INSTALL file in the tarball [04:01] can anyone give an explanation? [04:01] Chadwick|359: also there is a program called windows backup (can't believe I know that) [04:01] jrib or unless you have it in your $PATH. [04:01] :) [04:01] scguy318: for some reason it says that there is an md5sum mismatch and that it is not installing the plugin [04:01] kelsin, heh, okay [04:01] r00tintheb0x: nope [04:01] hellllooooo [04:02] greenmanspirit: can you pastebin? someone just said something about md5 a bit ago [04:02] kelsin: ty :) i looked at the read me. [04:02] does anyone know why i'm getting a missing file when i try to upgrade from ubuntu 7.04 to 7.1 message says missing "Failed to fetch http://ph.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/ubufox/ubufox_0.4~beta1-0ubuntu4_all.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.31 80]" [04:02] can anyone help with the "Duplicate or bad block in use" error I'm getting with fsck? [04:02] hello, I want to make a searchable database of the content of all my harddisks, what's an easy way to do that ? [04:02] ayanph: as a side note, it's 7.10, not 7.1, but did you try again? Maybe you just got a bad mirror [04:02] ayanph: run 'sudo apt-get update'? try a different mirror? [04:02] ayanph: could be a network connection most likely [04:03] tim167: locate [04:03] tim167, you mean the file names, or the file contents? [04:03] scguy318: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46906/ [04:03] Um. What package has /usr/bin/aclocal? [04:03] kelsin, yes, but doesnt that only search the currently connected harddisks ? [04:03] No alternative in automake. Which is what I expected to see. [04:03] JDSBlueDevl: the equivalent in windows is a cross linked file.. what is the format on that drive === Ash908_Server is now known as Ashfire_Server [04:03] jrib: thanks I fixed it! [04:03] ext3 [04:03] o.o [04:03] sethk i want to be able to search for a file, without the (usb-) disks all connected [04:04] wasabi: automake *is* the package you want [04:04] thanks for the headsup. i'm gonna try it now [04:04] tim167: I'm pretty sure you can connect them all, run a update to the db saving it to a different file, then run locate on that file [04:04] sethk so that i know what disk it is on, and also a search like that will be 100x faster that searching the actual disks [04:04] jrib: Guessed that much. What about the aclocal binary? THere are the various aclocal-N.M versions. [04:04] Jack_Sparrow: ext3 [04:04] tim167, you can use updatedb. By default it will index all files, but you can use an argument to limit the files and write to a different database [04:04] kelsin: i don't see an 'install file' in `spark_2_5_8.tar.gz' 's buffer. how do i find it? [04:04] tim167: otherwise just connect all of the discs and do a big "find ." then save that in a file and grep [04:05] hrm. anyone know where the compiz blacklist file is? i heard that my card should be supported now, but i still cant enable it [04:05] arguments, actually, one to change the data file and one to limit the indexed files [04:05] chalcedony: I was saying you should see if there are any help files in the tarball, look for README and INSTALL and follow them [04:05] tim167, there are other ways, you can make a list of all files, remove the ones in the directories you don't want, then sort the list. With an editor you'll find the file you want in a few seconds [04:05] greenmanspirit: gimme a sec [04:06] tim167, locate is more automatic, obviously. (updatedb makes the database, and locate uses the database) [04:06] it's working so far [04:06] thanks guys [04:06] wasabi: what about them? You get a version for the version of automake you installed and you use update-alternatives to configure it [04:06] tim167, when you use an argument to change the data file with updatedb, you have to use the same argument with locate to tell it to use the file. [04:06] jrib: update-alternatives tells me there is no aclocal alternative [04:06] scguy318: is it possible that adobe updated the tar and that the package hasn't been updated to match it? [04:06] wasabi: automake [04:06] Jack_Sparrow: what do I do with the "Duplicate or bad block in use" thing, then, with an ext3 drive? [04:06] kelsin, sethk, ok I can try that, I'll have to look into man locate a bit more, especially to find out how to save the db to another file... [04:06] question, how do i fdisk a external usb drive [04:07] jrib: Yeah, and what about aclocal? heh [04:07] help:how do i install yahoo messenger [04:07] tim167: after you complete you can just stick some alias's in .bashrc like "usb-search" "usb-update" or something [04:07] interation, use pidgen instead [04:07] wasabi: it updates aclocal as well (try) [04:07] tim167, that part is easy, just -X /path (it's not X, I'll look up the specific argument, but you know what I mean) [04:07] I'm asking because it didn't. [04:07] wasabi: wfm [04:07] sethk can i incrementally add filelists from several harddisks to one locate db file (one after the other, i have not enough usb interfaces to connect all harddisks at once) ? [04:07] tim167, use the long form: locate --database=/path/to/file [04:08] wasabi: what does aclocal point to now? [04:08] wheee [04:08] tsukasa: sudo fdisk /dev/ [04:08] tim167, I believe so, let me check. [04:08] jrib: Nothing. THe link does not exist. [04:08] wasabi: purge automake and reinstall it [04:08] rubin:pidgen? [04:09] JDSBlueDevl: sorry I was reading about your problem. I found several references to the problem. but no soultions. If you had a backup you could format the partition and reinstall it.. NOt a good choice I am sure [04:09] interation, its an IM client that supports all the major services [04:09] interation, used to be called gaim [04:09] thank [04:09] greenmanspirit: that's entirely possible [04:09] greenmanspirit: lemme test reinstallation [04:09] rubin: thank you [04:09] tim167, I don't see a way to do that, however, what you can do is create a tree full of symbolic links with the same path name as the real files (when those files are mounted) [04:10] wasabi: if you read the automake postinst files, you see what is supposed to happen [04:10] jrib: Heh. Did that, still nothing. Will read them. [04:11] wasabi: does 'update-alternatives --display automake' list aclocal as a slave? [04:11] Rubin: i still have gaim .. ubuntu feisty [04:11] sethk, hmm that sounds complicated to me.... maybe i can just do updatedb specifieing a different filename each time, and then concatenate those afterwards ? [04:11] jrib: /etc/alternatives/aclocal exists... there's just no /usr/bin/aclocal [04:11] there was a massive update today.. has anyone else got this (wondering if its just me)? [04:11] annoying [04:11] tim167, yes, you can certainly do that [04:11] greenmanspirit: I can confirm, I have a tar that works tho [04:11] tim167, then you can write a wrapper script that queries each one [04:11] I'm trying to burn ~4.4 GiB of data to a DVD, but I only have 1.9 GiB free in /tmp. I've set my gconf key /apps/nautilus-cd-burner/temp_iso_dir to a location with plenty of room, but nautilus-cd-burner doesn't seem to respect it. Anyone know why it wouldn't? [04:11] this guy seems to have the same problem as me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=484287 [04:11] greenmanspirit: I can confirm, I have a tar that works tho [04:12] treitter, I'm not sure why, but rename /tmp, then make /tmp a symlink to the path with the space [04:12] tim167: looks like you can make a db of each and then in your .bashrc put them in a env var LOCATE_PATH [04:12] wasabi: meh, may be easier to just create the symlink [04:12] sethk: is that safe on a live system? [04:12] yeah that's what i'm thinking. [04:12] scguy318: so is my best bet to sit and wait till the person in charge of the package fixes it? [04:12] tim167: it's in the locate man page, do then you can have locate search your system db and the db's for each usb drive [04:12] I'm running update-alternatives manually and it's not working [04:12] greenmanspirit: or I can give you the tar I have [04:12] umm so im in my /home$ how do i execute chmod +x ./ipodpatcher on one fille named ipodpatcher? [04:12] hello [04:12] greenmanspirit: the package checks if you have a local copy and installs from there [04:12] greenmanspirit: lemme pastebin [04:12] trying to play stepmania with the fglrx driver gives me a really flickery game window. how can i fix that? [04:12] scguy318: ok [04:12] linuxftw: you type "chmod +x ~/ipodpatcher" in a terminal [04:13] treitter, potentially something might have a file open in /tmp. Use lsof to check [04:13] kelsin cool, thanks, I'll try it out [04:13] sethk: yeah, a ton of ORBit files are open [04:13] greenmanspirit: http://rapidshare.com/files/74380214/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz.html [04:14] I just upgraded from Edgy to Feisty now I can't start normally I get Xserver is there a way to start in safe graphic mode? that usally works when I running Live CD but don't know how to do from hard drive boot [04:14] greenmanspirit: after you save this [04:14] greenmanspirit: tell me where you saved it and I'll tell you what command to do [04:14] uh, why would you use rapidshare for flashplayer? [04:14] mosno: because Adobe updated their tarball, causing flashplugin-nonfree to whine about md5sum error [04:14] mosno: this is the tarball that flashplugin-nonfree likes [04:14] tim167, kelsin looks like you can do the same thing by setting --database= to a directory, implying use all files in the directory. [04:15] this is silly. [04:15] greenmanspirit: looks like I'll file a bug if one hasn't already been reported [04:15] start normally I get Xserver is there a way to start in safe graphic mode? that usally works when I running Live CD but don't know how to do from hard drive boot [04:15] treitter: you are trying to burn a dvd from the livecd, which will write a large temp file. How much ram.. Sorry, I am a little slow and confused tonight [04:15] sethk heh nice :) [04:15] it stopped installing 'automake't oo [04:15] scguy318: ok, I was going to do that if no one in here was able to help me [04:15] scguy318: so how do you prevent the preinst of flashplugin-nonfree from fetching the crap version anyway? [04:15] tim167, I wouldn't have found that if kelsin hadn't mentioned a path variable. [04:15] Jack_Sparrow: not from a LiveCD, this is a full install. I've got 2 GiB of RAM, but that's not enough to cache the entire ISO before burning [04:15] 123 [04:15] 1234 [04:16] scguy318: its on my desktop [04:16] mosno: you stick the copy it wants into /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree [04:16] sorry about that. screen went funny [04:16] mosno: then it sees local copy, and installs from it [04:16] this really wouldn't be a problem, but it looks like some bug is preventing nautilus-cd-burner from reading the appropriate gconf key [04:16] scguy318: cool [04:16] greenmanspirit: ok, do [04:16] start normally I get Xserver is there a way to start in safe graphic mode? that usally works when I running Live CD but don't know how to do from hard drive boot [04:16] treitter: Sorry I saw your comment to sethk and thought you were talking about your system running live.. [04:17] greenmanspirit: sudo cp ~/Desktop/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree [04:17] I just upgraded from Edgy to Feisty now I can't start normally I get Xserver is there a way to start in safe graphic mode? that usally works when I running Live CD but don't know how to do from hard drive boot [04:17] greenmanspirit: then sudo aptitude reinstall flashplugin-nonfree [04:17] treitter, you might try adding the variable definition to .bashrc, to make sure it's seen by a subshell [04:17] I guess I could try k3b. Man, I wish it didn't come to this. That app makes me feel like I'm drowning in a see of superfluous widgets [04:17] jaru: go to Recovery Console, do sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and select vesa, then boot normally, if no work [04:17] jaru: hitting escape as you power up should get you to a menu for recovery mode [04:17] treitter, that shouldn't be necessary if the variable is exported, but it's a bug, so who knows? [04:18] jaru: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, select vesa, follow prompts, boot normally === _max182 is now known as max182 [04:18] hey guys i just installed windows, and i went to my computer and it didnt show this partiton, what should i do? [04:18] chmod +x ./ipodpatcher i akm trying to execute that command on a file in my home drive can anyone help me? [04:18] sethk: which variable? It's a gconf key. And I've logged out and back in since setting it [04:18] dankchild.. um windows dosn't show up? [04:18] ot linux? [04:18] or* [04:18] scguy318: thanks a lot [04:18] Dankchild: you need to install an ext2 partition [04:18] Dankchild: I mean, driver [04:18] Dankchild: Does gparted show it.. [04:19] treitter, I thought you were talking about an environment variable. You would almost have to be, as the program runs (I believe) even if you aren't running gnome [04:19] scguy318: How do I access Recovery Consle [04:19] scguy318: its works perfectly now [04:19] greenmanspirit: cool [04:19] yes gparted shows it. [04:19] k, i need a ext2 driver. makes sence [04:19] sense* [04:19] Dankchild: you need to install ext2 driver from fs-driver.org [04:19] scguy318: is that where i press esc at beginng? [04:19] jaru: yep [04:19] Dankchild: So it just isnt mounted in your ubuntu install since you just added it to the system.. Is that the issue so far [04:19] So.... how long will my connection remain open? [04:19] accually i need to install all of my drivers lol. [04:20] Jack_sparrow: no, my ubuntu partiton didnt show up in windows. [04:20] * RedHeron_ is here 2x and after 5 days the connection still hasn't died. [04:20] scguy318: I edit the boot kernal to add those or do i just boou in recovery mode [04:20] jaru: boot in recovery mode then run the command I mentioned [04:20] the *first* connection, rather. [04:20] scguy318: thank you i will try now [04:20] sethk: ah, no. I'm trying to use nautilus-cd-burner to burn a DVD, and it's not reading a gconf key, so it's trying to create a DVD ISO in /tmp, but my /tmp doesn't have enough room for it, so it's failing. nautilus-cd-burner would only be running if nautilus is running and I'm trying to burn a disc [04:20] RedHeron_: IRC connection? nevar unless IRC server goes down for some reason [04:20] Dankchild: ext2f2_1_10c is the one I use [04:21] RedHeron_: the connection to irc? or the internets? [04:21] anyone know the command to install/run ndiswrapper? [04:21] IRC [04:21] michael: did you see my link? [04:21] treitter, do a chroot and make the desired directory named "/tmp" that way [04:21] michael: I thought I linked you to Ubuntu Wiki guide [04:21] I've disconnected and been away for 4 days. [04:21] Jack_sparrow: awesome ill look for that one. [04:21] Rebooted my system. [04:21] Still here. [04:21] scguy318_: i think i tried it and it didnt show meh, or didnt work, try again [04:22] michael: what didn't work? [04:22] Dankchild: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins?action=show&redirect=FirefoxAMD64FlashJava might be it [04:22] scguy318: the commands on teh page [04:22] RedHeron_: well if you are all setup via your irc client then you will always have a place [04:22] treitter: you could try gnome-baker or brasero [04:23] oh and one more question i know it isnt ubuntu related, none of my drivers are installed on windows, do i have to find and install each one by themselves or is there and automatic program for that? [04:23] kelsin: brasero is based on nautilus-cd-burner, I believe. But I'll check out gnome-baker. Thanks! [04:23] Or never, depending on how you look at it, bazhang. [04:23] Dankchild: No idea why I have that link for ext2 ? [04:23] RedHeron_: indeed [04:23] * RedHeron_ didn't quit! [04:23] michael: well what happened when you tried to do it? [04:23] Dankchild: http://www.fs-driver.org/download.html === RedHeron_ is now known as RedHeron [04:23] Jack_sparrow: hah yeah i delt with that problem a long time ago =p [04:24] is there an easy way to create and install ubuntu onto LVM groups, WITHOUT an alternate CD? like, from within the live cd? [04:24] Anyone know of a good tutorial for manually connecting a bluetooth mouse? [04:24] my windows $MBR got screwed, and i really dont feel like repairing it right now :\ [04:24] Dankchild: Yea, for windows you will need to hunt down each driver.. Lots of fun. The ext2 driver thought works great [04:25] hello [04:25] does anyone use an irc client other than xchat bitchx that they enjoy [04:25] Apart from being pretty slow ;p [04:25] HateX: irssi [04:25] HateX: irssi [04:25] HateX: irssi [04:25] konversation [04:25] pidgin [04:25] HateX: mIRC :P [04:26] Jack_sparrow: cool man thanks saved me some time. haha, one more thing, is there a device manager on ubuntu? i dont rememver every model of each part. [04:26] lil well it's settled than [04:26] noob question time! What are the advantages of Ubuntu over Debian? [04:26] I need help with installation of the printer Laxmark Z715 [04:26] on Ubuntu [04:26] i just installed the python-mysqldb package but python isn't finding it is there something extra i need to do (i used the synaptic package manager btw) [04:26] HateX: less anarchy [04:26] Oops [04:26] wrong person [04:26] prothoss: less anarchy [04:26] prothoss: as i understand it, ubuntus just designed to be more friendly/useable for normal person [04:26] prothoss: more current software, lots of work on desktop integration and support of common hardware [04:26] It would be better stated that Ubuntu is "designed" [04:26] prothoss: this channel :} [04:26] prothoss: (when I say more current I mean compared to debian's stable and testing branch) [04:26] Debian is "design by committee". The vision is mostly everybody packages their own thing for their own reasons. [04:27] is irssi easily installable, with apt-get? [04:27] hi, ubuntu doesn't recognise my NTFS partition anymore... i don't know what to do, or even what happened... :'( [04:27] ah, righto [04:27] Ubuntu has a more refined goal. [04:27] HateX: yes [04:27] HateX: yes [04:27] HateX: its a commandline IRC, btw...if you want graphical, pidgin works well [04:27] excellent [04:27] the NTFS partition isn't even on my desktop for me to click anymore [04:27] i don't know how to fix this [04:27] utarpradesh: did you uncleanly dismount your NTFS partition? [04:27] utarpradesh: if so a nice boot back to Windows then back to Linux will do it [04:28] Jack_sparrow: or i guess what i mean is a hardware manager [04:28] limecat, ok i was looking for a Super Duper GUI client that has everything [04:28] pidgin [04:28] konversation [04:28] sorta...its irc is decent, but probably not the best, but it has a ton of plugins [04:29] HateX: what does xchat not have that you want? [04:29] hey i need some advice...i have an old vaio laptop maybe from 2002 with a 1.0ghz P3 ATI graphics...I have XP running on it, pretty slowly i might add. does anyone here have any experience with ubuntu with a pc that old? [04:29] is there an IM software in ubuntu that supports yahoo or msn webcam chat? [04:29] ayanph: kopete might, i dont remember [04:29] mrfantastic: how old? [04:29] mrfantastic: try xubuntu [04:29] ayanph: for MSN aMSN, yahoo gyachi [04:29] ayanph, gaim [04:29] 5 or 6 years [04:29] mrfantastic: lemme rephrase that, how much mem? [04:29] is there a hardware manager on ubuntu? i dont rememver every model of each part. [04:29] kelsin, well somethings like when rightclicking on a person, if you wanted to half-op them the option just isn't there [04:29] sethk: gaim no longer exists [04:29] only voice and op [04:30] its pidgin now [04:30] max 512 [04:30] will try gyachi [04:30] how come i can not enable ctrl alt button 1 for compiz and none of its features are working [04:30] Dankchild: there is SYstem -> Prefs -> Hardware Info [04:30] limecat, it exists on my box. :) You can still install it. [04:30] sweet thanks man [04:30] mrfantastic: Xubuntu is a good choice, Ubuntu might work well too [04:30] Dankchild: lspci on the command line will give you info as well [04:31] sethk: heh, any particular reason NOT to upgrade to pidgin? [04:31] limecat: lame name? [04:31] so does xubuntu use less resources than ubuntu? [04:31] mrfantastic: by default yes [04:31] does that also support webcam --- pidgin that is [04:31] even it uses the same apps? [04:31] ayanph: no [04:31] catach: i sorta like it :( [04:31] i see [04:31] mrfantastic: it's the xfce desktop environment, instead of gnome, so differen base desktop apps [04:31] can i get some help starting compiz, nothin on it works but i have it [04:31] too bad [04:31] scguy318: i tried this... windows doesn't even load... or when it does, it's ridiculously slow, i cant even move the mouse [04:32] limecat: Hah, good then. [04:32] Do I need to install something to use my bluetooth mouse? When i click on it in my bluetooth manager, It asks me if I'd like to 'save' or 'open' sdp://[blue:tooth:add:ress]/'. How do I just connect to it? [04:32] telling people to open aim on gaim is sorta confusing, and they keep thinking im talking about aim [04:32] so... gpg breakage recently in Feisty... is this a known issue? (libreadline symbols not found) [04:32] utarpradesh: alright, what does sudo mount -a say? [04:32] and my graphics card is installed and everything, im thinkin its an easy fix [04:32] mrfantastic: just starts you off by default with a system that uses less resouces, you could also use the atlernate cd and start with a cli system [04:32] utarpradesh: pastebin what the command sudo mount -a does [04:32] all of y'all are so helpful, and yall have made my experiance so far very very enjoyable [04:32] experience* [04:32] okay, [04:32] !pastebin [04:32] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [04:32] dankchild: thats what i love about ubuntu [04:32] same here... i'm almost done upgrading to 7.10 [04:32] Bil1: is Compiz enabled? [04:32] thanks guys for helping [04:33] alright thanks [04:33] anyone have any ideas on doing an LVM install from live cd? [04:33] scguy318: yes i believe it is, if not how do i make sure?

[04:45] if i boot recovery though i can install the newest drivers and run compiz fusion on dual monitors (everything works fine) [04:45] bazhang: still does what normal ubuntu does [04:45] wait. none of the effects work?

Put that in your grub entry for your normal kernel [04:46] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46912/ [04:47] riotkittie: :p sorry [04:47] Mashi: then do sudo aptitude reinstall flashplugin-nonfree [04:47] mike01, as a test. yopu could edit the normal boot kernel line and append 'nofb nosplash' to test.

[05:27] Luke: no [05:27] Luke: the official VNC server by RealVNC [05:27] scguy318: ah thanks a lot for your help [05:27] I appreciate it [05:27] aaanone: as of this moment flashplugin-nonfree is a bit broken due to Adobe's updating [05:27] aaanone: my little workaround should get you up and running [05:27] aaanone: i don't know, but i would assume so. it worked for me. [05:28] AgentHeX: Adobe recently updated their tarball, so flashplugin-nonfree is broken at moment [05:28] scguy318: good thing i did this a few days ago, huh? [05:28] Gr.. Wine and OpenGL don't seem to get along very well. [05:28] AgentHeX: yep [05:28] At least not on this laptop video. [05:29] anyone help?? [05:29] what was your question see? [05:29] scguy318: when tightvnc has a "viewer" binary... does that mean the client is viewing the host or what?

[05:32] hey whats up everyone could someone help me out with an installation problem I am having [05:32] aaanone: well, its what flashplugin-nonfree does [05:32] really appreciate the help [05:32] aaanone: if you're fine with manual install, go ahead [05:33] aaanone: otherwise you can give it the older tarball [05:33] databits: what seems to be your issue? [05:33] scguy318: yeah I'm fine doing that, I'm just concerned that it is going to bypass apt and be a pain to update or whatever in the future [05:33] what's the command to add ports to the iptables? [05:33] well I don't have any blank cds [05:33] I am have two lappies [05:33] aaanone: not really, shouldn't be that big a blocker [05:34] one I am keeping xp on but the other is running xp on it right now but I want to throw ubuntu on it [05:34] out of cds though I am trying to figure out how to install over the network [05:34] scguy318: if I want to add more RAM later, can I resize the swap partition or add a new one?

[05:34] pg: yes [05:34] databits: i'm not sure exactly how to set it up, but you may be able to do something like that, or boot off of a flash drive [05:35] Shameless: You got this one? If so im going to bed. [05:35] hahah I was trying ot figure that shit out earlier [05:35] seeitcoming: I just joined so I didn't see your problem, but i might be able to help. [05:35] how abouts [05:35] speeddemon8803: yeah, i think i got it [05:35] Ok bud :) [05:35] I went into my bios and told it to boot off network but I dont know about any other settings to make [05:35] I do have a connector hooked up to my sata drive to make it an external usb drive [05:35] see: nvidia has open sourced drivers, you should be able to get them from the manuf. [05:36] been there...

[05:37] how did you install the first time? [05:38] I don't have a flash drive [05:38] shameless: If you just unpack the iso to a flash drive that isnt enough..i know this for fact..ive tried it. [05:38] I have a usb harddrive [05:38] do you have a cd-rom? [05:38] does anyone here know how to make a boot floopy ?

[05:39] later shameless, and i totally forgot about that. [05:39] is there a way to find the source type of my wireless card? [05:39] dtork: chipset? lspci [05:39] Why is swap space > 2 * RAM not recommended? What if you run memory-hungry apps, like many Firefox windows at the same time? [05:39] pg: because it's so wasteful [05:39] pg: and if you need that much RAM for Firefox, install more RAM! [05:39] pg: swap space is VERY slow [05:40] pg: you only need swap space as big as RAM in order to hibernate or something [05:40] scguy318: thank you [05:40] scguy318: Thx a lot [05:40] pg: 2*RAM was great in the days of DOS, when you could count on 8 MB max [05:40] scguy318: Thanks. Yet the advice is 2*ram for ram <= 2Gb, right? [05:40] how do i bridge my ethernet network with my wireless through nat, and setting up an ssid/ wpa2? [05:40] pg: dont bother with 2*RAM at all [05:40] now, anyone here know how to force usage of the nvidia restricted driver for Xen? i can't boot to Xen with the amd64 one, and i can't live without compiz.

[06:02] mike01-> maybe you can figure out how its equivalent in windows? you know, you have to improvise a bit [06:02] it's a dhcp setup, and was trying to figure out how to keep my special dns in resolv.conf with out being overwritten all the time [06:02] luddite: log into your dsl modem and look for DHCP settings, set that to have the correct DNS and whatever else [06:02] i have it working in windows but only for a few minutes, then vista's internet connection sharing breaks it [06:03] can anyone help me with grep? [06:03] luddite-> in your dhcp client, there is a config not to update resolv.conf [06:03] i have the correct dns, the prob is that the modem pushes 192.168.0.1 instead of what i want [06:04] please tell me bulmer what option, is it in /etc/dhcp3/dhcp.conf? [06:04] Im using Ubuntu and Cedega-- Im attempting to DL World of Warcraft, anyone used this combo before? [06:04] bulmer: best option is to actually have the DHCP server give out the correct info in the first place, then everything you connect will work right away without having to change settings each time [06:04] luddite i dont know off hand, i have to check that [06:04] michael_: it will work [06:04] don't worry === DarthShr1ne is now known as DarthShrine [06:04] zcat[1]-> you cant, those wireless routers only doles out its own dns server address [06:05] utarpradesh: how do i get the updates to work? When i try and play, it stalls on the opening, with just a black screen [06:05] for example, the modem pushes out a non-internet accessible IP as the dns [06:05] 192.168.0.1 [06:05] topic [06:05] and it does this every 5min [06:05] bulmer: 'by default' -- I've yet to find one that can't be reconfigured [06:05] michael_ are you using a dual boot, XP/ubuntu? [06:05] just ubuntu [06:05] is WoW installed on the windows partition? [06:05] oh [06:05] utarpradesh: Only ubuntu [06:06] i'm not sure, then [06:06] i'm sorry friend [06:06] :( [06:06] i do not have access to the modem either and my ISP will not give me static ip for anything less than 50 dollars more [06:06] hmm.. well that sucks then. [06:06] it's really wierd, my ip doesn't change but the modem keeps pushing 192.168.0.1 like the world is going to end [06:06] zcat[1]-> try like the 2wire dsl modem/router and see if you can set the dns you prefer [06:07] soo my custom dns servers are constantly being overwrittne [06:07] anyone else used cedega with World of Warcraft and Linux [06:07] yes michael_ i played wow 2 years ago on linux with cedega [06:07] it was fun, now i don't have time [06:08] so any advice for a dhcp newb on how to configure dhcp to stop re-writing the resolvconf [06:08] luddite: How do i get it to install the updates??? [06:08] for cedega? [06:08] or for wow [06:09] luddite: wow, i try and run WoW but it sits on a black screen [06:09] well, i don't know what to tell you did you go to the freenode IRC for cedega? [06:09] luddite: went to transgaming [06:10] luddite: its running cedega fine i think [06:10] ok...

[06:10] nope, just installed it [06:10] that's a good check.. [06:10] not sure how to work it [06:10] luddite-> try removing this domain-name-servers from that /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and see if it still acquires the dns server from your modem [06:11] aaah, michael_ you need to install an old school game that you know is supported [06:11] try counterstrike_cs [06:12] thanks bulmer, now to ssh across the planet at light speed and test your advice [06:12] i would, but i just bought a month of wow lol [06:12] it wont dl the update [06:12] gah [06:12] Has anyone had any expierience with VMware Server 2 running on Gusty [06:13] any xen people here?

[06:22] Berto, someone suggested to me to just download the tarball of flash and install it manually in hopes that it will just overwrite the files curently used by nspluginwrapper [06:22] nothing really [06:23] ok, it gets wireless internet and outputs it to ethernet [06:23] MasterShrek: thanks [06:23] MasterShrek, u still running slamd64? [06:23] i did a dhclient eth0 and the resolv.conf got overwritten [06:23] yea, and i couldnt be happier [06:23] MasterShrek: 94% done [06:23] Evanlec, do you know what the name of the packages are that edgy installs automatcally? and where they put their files? [06:23] tomd: I know the role of sections designated '1', '8' etc. This is not new to me. But what does '1x' refer to? [06:23] MasterShrek: =) [06:23] shishio, =D [06:23] FrankLakatos-> seems to be similar to an AP with router [06:23] sorry no fix, but yes there was a change [06:23] Berto, i believe its flashplugin-nonfree [06:23] cool- what should I try? [06:23] Evanlec, do you know what command (with apt-get or aptitude) lists the files involved with that package? [06:23] Berto, where they put their files, probably lots of places [06:24] i have installed linux-686 in kubuntu6.06 , should i remove linux-386 to keep off confilct ? [06:24] Berto, no i dont know that command [06:24] bullgard4-> let me guess..1x as in 1x magnification, 2x as twice magnification..i cud be wrong.... [06:24] hello, im getting low FPS in Q3 and when I try and play movies it is all pink rainbow sort of thing , [06:24] does anyone have any ideas what could cause this/how to fix it? [06:24] what he said, 1x more than likely is for utils that use X11 [06:24] UG [06:25] xchat is wierd [06:25] where's the nickname list [06:25] MasterShrek, slack is definitely a good distro, but I think u might really like Arch, mostly because of its rolling release system, you're always up to date [06:25] of everyone who's in the channel [06:25] bullgard4: section 1x - like a little section off the end of section1 where someone decided to list a few more commands that sort of belong in section 1 but sort of are different. [06:25] Hi, I have a paperweight because I messed up and put in the wrong graphics driver. How can I, from the CD boot, change the driver settings? [06:25] Evanlec, how does it work? just auto updates all the time or what? [06:25] MasterShrek, yea i look forward to running pacman -Syu everytime i get home from work ;) [06:26] rofl... wha that really akill?? [06:26] MasterShrek, running that synchronizes the repos, any updates get installed, recently we got updates to things like Xorg-server and nautilus [06:26] Evanlec, heh, i just recently set up a cron job to rsync slamd64-current, so now ill stay up to date too [06:27] well, with a couple added commands here and there [06:27] MasterShrek, rather than the terribly un-exciting updates that ubuntu delivers ;p [06:27] what package system does arch use? [06:27] isnt it their own system [06:27] MasterShrek, it uses Pacman [06:27] hello,everybody !I have installed linux-686 in kubuntu6.06 , should i remove linux-386 to keep off confilct ? [06:27] well i know that, but are they debian packages or rpm's or what? [06:27] MasterShrek, along with ABS (arch build system) which is similar in concept to BSD's Ports system [06:28] so they arent deb or rpm [06:28] MasterShrek, mm, they're neither [06:28] zcat[1], tomd, bulmer: Thank you for commenting. [06:28] bulmer-> any clue what i should try? [06:28] lizili, you shouldnt have to, just choose the 686 kernel from grub [06:28] MasterShrek, they come in .pkg.tar.gz format ;p [06:29] ic [06:29] MasterShrek, but basically they are all built from ABS using Arch-made PKGBUILD files [06:29] i'm having problems with phpmyadmin. I have already installed it, but there is no /var/www/phpmyadmin [06:29] FrankLakatos-> can you elaborate on that device? how is it used? where is it supposed to be located? [06:29] How do I change the graphics driver settings of Ubuntu 7.10 from a 7.04 boot disk? [06:29] w00t! [06:29] MasterShrek, the PKGBUILD files are pretty small and just give compiler-flags, location of the source files to download, and any other options [06:29] it's plugged into my ethernet port [06:29] yay!! [06:29] marcioapf, try a: whereis phpmyadmin [06:29] !mingw32 [06:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about mingw32 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:29] Extravert: please stop [06:29] bazhang: ? [06:30] what package should i install for mingw32 C++ compiler [06:30] FrankLakatos-> you have to respond with my nick if response is directed to me, or i will ignore [06:30] is is possable to give my ubuntu server machine some kind of image background for the console? [06:30] MasterShrek, and u just makepkg -i with the pkgbuild file and it downloads the source, compiles, and makes a working package for u to use with pacman [06:30] Evanlec, ic, sounds kinda like slackbuilds, except they dont point to a download site [06:30] MasterShrek: i got "/etc/phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin" [06:30] bazhang: I cant say yay? =( [06:30] MasterShrek, slackbuilds require source files to be local? [06:30] yes [06:30] MasterShrek, yea i think its a similar concept [06:31] MasterShrek, tho honestly i havent even built anything myself yet ;p [06:31] marcioapf, i would look in /etc/phpmyadmin/ for a conf file, and u should be able to figure out where its at, also look in that /usr/share/phpmyadmin dir, could be what you are looking for [06:31] bulmer-> sorry. It's a a little device that picks up wireless signal and then connects to an ethernet port. It's for devices that don't have built in wifi, but want to use a wireless signal. get it? [06:31] what if i block port 68 and 67... will that stop a dhcp push? [06:31] MasterShrek, tho with that new flash update, i might try it [06:32] Evanlec, heh, so when you install soemthign, i has to compile it each time? or your pacman gets precompiled packages? [06:32] what package should i install for mingw32 C++ compiler [06:32] Evanlec: http://rapidshare.com/files/74380214/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz.html if needed [06:32] MasterShrek, arch gets binary updates [06:32] I have a problem with conflicting mice. a description can be found here --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3839154 Any ideas? [06:32] MasterShrek, it is not like gentoo in that respect [06:32] ok [06:32] Evanlec: that's the tarball that the current flashplugin-nonfree likes [06:32] scguy318, thanks, altho im not running ubuntu atm [06:32] Evanlec: sorry if that was a bit random [06:32] FrankLakatos-> this device is connected to an ethernet port thats is connected to the internet? its not clear from your explanation [06:32] Evanlec: np === \etc\bin is now known as e1mer [06:33] How do I change my graphics driver in Ubuntu if I can only boot workably from a boot CD? [06:33] scguy318, did installing that manually work for you? what about the file on flash.com? [06:33] MasterShrek, what i really want is just to use phpmyadmin to create a table [06:33] JusticeZero, change it from what to what? the drive used is defined in the xorg.conf file. You can edit that if you want. [06:33] isnt phpmyadmin a web administration interface? [06:34] hello, im getting low FPS in Q3 and when I try and play movies it is all pink rainbow sort of thing , [06:34] does anyone have any ideas what could cause this/how to fix it? [06:34] marcioapf, i know nothing about phpmyadmin, im just trying to help you find the directory you are looking for [06:34] Evanlec: I placed the tarball in /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree then did aptitude reinstall flashplugin-nonfree [06:34] bulmer-> ok, ill break it down. So i have wireless internet in my house. Now my pc doesn't have a wireless card to get that signal. So this device has an anntenea that can find the wireless signal, and then it has an ethernet port, and i can plug it into my computer, making it able to use wireless internet. [06:34] I set the wrong driver; now when I boot up I have a blank screen. [06:34] andreuu, you have installed the accelerated video card drivers for whatever card you have? [06:34] Evanlec: I let the postinstall do its job :P [06:34] yeah [06:34] scguy318, very clever, so u fooled it into using the latest source file [06:34] JusticeZero, what driver did you set up? If you can get to the console. you can reconfigure your X server. no live cd needed. [06:34] was playing fine, movies too a minute ago, dont know what happened [06:34] Evanlec: thats not latest actually [06:35] scguy318, well what is it then? [06:35] Evanlec: its just old one that worked [06:35] hey to all [06:35] Evanlec: just before Adobe's update [06:35] scguy318, why bother with an old one? [06:35] Evanlec: too lazy to install it myself :P [06:35] my pc hangs when i start ubuntu on it, when i restart, the monitor refuses to function === lizili is now known as wuhan [06:35] I don't see any way to get to it... the keyboard doesn't work unless i'm in Ubuntu completely, at which point I can't see anything. [06:35] and konversation says Server fond, connecting, lost:no error so I had to use xchat which works... [06:35] scguy318, i mean, is that file u gave me newer than whats available in the ubuntu repo? [06:35] anywone experience it before? [06:36] andreuu, it could be the 'locate' database is updating - its set on a cron job to run once a day. IF everything was fine.. then suddendly slowwed down.. could check the 'top' command and see whats running [06:36] Evanlec: no, its not newer, its the only one that works at the moment ;) [06:36] yeah ta did that. nothing [06:36] wierd thing is movies wont play... hmm [06:36] JusticeZero, keybord dont work in the grub menus? [06:36] Evanlec: if you try to install flashplugin-nonfree right now, it'll crap out with md5 error [06:36] how can I achieve that nautilus show me mounted partitions of local fileystem in left pane? [06:36] FrankLakatos-> so instead of having an internal wifi card, you use this external card as the nic to connect wirelessly to your AP right? [06:36] scguy318, eh? on 64bit u mean rite? [06:36] Correct. [06:36] Evanlec: on any platform [06:36] scguy318, oh lol, well i havent booted into ubuntu in a while [06:36] Evanlec: flashplugin-nonfree works great on 64-bit, or it used to, thanks to ndiswrapper [06:36] MasterShrek, oh ok. I found those two directories... but i think there should be one at /var/www/, because there is where i can use php files, from http://filehost/ [06:37] Evanlec: yes [06:37] scguy318, yea i know. sad to hear its broken [06:37] bulmer->yes. what is an AP [06:37] Evanlec: but with Adobe's update, its md5 checks fail, the installation fails [06:37] Evanlec: should be a simple fix [06:37] JusticeZero, let me guess a USB keyboard.. You may want to plug in a ps2 keyboard if ya got one. Ive heard that enabling 'legacy usb' support in the bios can get around the usb keybaord not working issue. [06:37] FrankLakatos-> why do you play around with wireless and not knowing these terms? [06:37] marcioapf, u have apache installed? [06:37] marcioapf, is there a confi file in /etc/phpmyadmin that specifies such a directory? [06:37] what package(s) do I need to install to get man-pages for ansic standard functions? [06:37] FrankLakatos: AP = Access Point [06:38] scguy318, why would they put that into the repo? [06:38] Evanlec: ? [06:38] scguy318, a broken install [06:38] I don't have a ps2 keyboard, alas. Where would I find the legacy usb setting? I didn't see it.. [06:38] scguy318, or u talking about the source [06:38] Evanlec: it wasn't broken a few days ago [06:38] bulmer->ahh. I've had this thing for 4 years, all i ever had to do was plug it into my comp and it worked. But i literally installed Ubuntu today, and it's not showing up [06:38] scguy318, i mean, why would they put a broken package in the ubuntu repos [06:38] Evanlec: or whenever it was before Adobe placed the updated tarball on its site [06:39] JusticeZero, no idea on your bios. :) ive never had it work for me that way either. I alwyas had to grab a ps2 for some of my machines.. [06:39] MasterShrek, i don't think so [06:39] Evalec, yes i do [06:39] Evanlec: they wouldn't, it broke very recently because the package simply wgets Adobe's tarball [06:39] Evanlec: and with the tarball change, the md5 of it changed, a bit of a show-stopper [06:39] JusticeZero, what video card did you set up the machijne as? what one do you hav4e? [06:39] scguy318, aha...i didnt know debs downloaded new sources [06:39] FrankLakatos-> how did this work before? you have in on a windows? [06:39] Hello, I recently just installed ubuntu 7.10 I believe on my slightly new computer. The installation seemed to go well, but when I booted it up and started to load ubuntu, then went to log in I got this error; scsi 2:0:0:0: rejecting I/O dead device. It would give me that error about 4 times every second. I rebooted, then tried to load ubuntu again and now I get GRUB loading stage1.5. GRUB loading, lease wait... error17 I also [06:39] Evanlec: the Flash tarball isn't really a source [06:40] scguy318, oh? [06:40] Well, failing that, how do I get at xorg.conf from the boot CD? I have an nVidia 7600GS. I set it to nv because the restricted driver was giving me crashing problems. [06:40] Evanlec: as part of the postinstall routine, it actually wgets the Flash binary install tarball from Adobe [06:40] JusticeZero, mount your installed drive - edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [06:40] scguy318, but still, i thot a .deb file was independent, not needing to grab anything else from the net [06:40] Evanlec: then does checks and then install [06:40] scguy318, oh so this is a special case [06:40] MasterShrek: i have a problem about the .iso file... No such file or directory. Cannot open 'dev/cdrom'. [06:40] Evanlec: yep, like msttcorefonts [06:41] scguy318, i gotcha [06:41] Evanlec: it has to, because the fonts and Flash aren't free for distribution [06:41] shishio, try using sudo, your user may not have priviledges [06:41] scguy318, ah, that makes sense [06:41] Is there a better vcs-diff-viewer for gnome than meld? [06:41] MasterShrek: ok [06:41] bulmer->when it worked before, it was getting the signal from a linksys wireless router. Now, my internet provider sent me the wireless router [06:41] shishio, make sure the iso is correctly referenced too,the filename may be a little bit different, and make sure you are in the folder where it is located [06:41] whats the best daemon-type bittorrent client? [06:41] scguy318, u tried any other distros besides ubuntu? [06:42] Evanlec, both /etc/phpmyadmin and /usr/share/phpmyadmin have many .php files, what doesn't make sense since i can only read them if they are parsed by my server. And this only happens to files into /var/www, which i acess through http://localhost [06:42] Evanlec: not really, I must admit [06:42] Darius08x: Any idea what the scsi 2:0:0:0 device is ? Any external HDDs plugged in via USB, or CD/DVD drives etc ? [06:42] I know how to edit the file once I find it, but mounting and finding it i'm hazy on. [06:42] hi all [06:42] FrankLakatos-> before? as in before today? and before you were using microsoft? now if you use microsoft, does it work with the new AP ? [06:42] MasterShrek: How will i do that? my .iso file is inmy home folder [06:42] how are you [06:42] i just installed ubuntu [06:42] Uhhh, I have an external HD plugged in. [06:43] is beautiful [06:43] marcioapf, well, /etc/phpmyadmin should NOT be where ur server is serving php files [06:43] Darius08x: Do you need it plugged in ? [06:43] anyone find their sound is broken in the past 24 hours after updating packages? [06:43] scguy318, well, i just switched the Arch linux and i'm liking it [06:43] shishio, sudo cdrecord -v speed=4 /dev/cdrom ubuntu [06:43] REPOST: what package should i install for mingw32 C++ compiler [06:43] I suppose not. I'll unplug it right now. [06:43] I'd unplug it, then try and boot Ubuntu again [06:43] scguy318, u seem like ur a more advanced linux user, u might enjoy a more "advanced" level distro [06:43] bulmer->before as in, i've used it for 3 years on Windows XP at my old apartment. Now i moved, got a new ISP, and installed Ubuntu. [06:43] what program do i use in ubuntu to mount/access my ipod as a flash drive, rather than as a music device? [06:44] Evanlec, the same about /usr/share/phpmyadmin? [06:44] marcioapf, im geussing those are example files... [06:44] I still get the GRUB error though. [06:44] marcioapf, like /usr/share/doc [06:44] MasterShrek, it works^^ [06:44] Evanlec, hmm... ok. But how am i supposed to use phpmyadmin? [06:44] good news [06:44] does anyone have a suggestion for an irc bot that is easily configurable, like one that would monitor and channel for floods and foul language? [06:44] dn: no worries here ... and I've just installed the latest patches ... [06:45] one quick question: what would be best suited for office use? gnome or kde? [06:45] FrankLakatos-> if you have windows, does it work with this new ISP router? or you think because you have ubuntu now suddenly things dont work? [06:45] marcioapf, well to be honest, i dont know anything about phpmyadmin either... [06:45] in terms of stability [06:45] you don't happen to know what packages have been updated recently? i seen firefox and openoffice, but neither of those should affect my sound :/ [06:45] x_zeuss: I'd say GNOME - but it's a while since I used KDE [06:45] x_zeuss: whatever you want, they both have their advantages [06:45] test1 [06:45] MasterShrek, so how is your dependency management going? ;p [06:46] is there a screensaver on the default ubuntu [06:46] what dir is x11 in ? thats how I restart xserver yes ? [06:46] user11_011: mingw32 [06:46] x_zeuss: scguy318 is correct. For what it's worth, GNOME seems a lot "cleaner" and therefore easier to roll-out in a business / training context [06:46] MasterShrek, error:"Track 01: 0 MB written.cdrecord: Input/output error. read error on input fileWriting time: 4.652s [06:46] cdrecord: fifo had 64 puts and 1 gets. [06:46] cdrecord: fifo was 0 times empty and 0 times full, min fill was 100%. [06:46] " [06:46] Evanlec, =P ok. Anyway, many pages on the internet say that i should go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin [06:46] user11_011: apt-get install mingw32 [06:46] janep1 no, but you can set one. [06:46] Evanlec, i dont really have any issues, granted a few things i need to compile a dependency for, most things work just fine [06:46] JusticeZero ok thank you [06:46] marcioapf, well that makes sense, and that dir doesnt exist? [06:46] bulmer->im thinking Ubuntu is working perfectly, i just need to get it to look for this wireless device. The ISP is working fine on mine, and my two roomates mac (im on my mac on the same ISP now) [06:46] MrStonedOne: i did that but i dont get minw32 as a command at all!!!! [06:46] Darius08x: So you've got a GRUB error, that is different to the original error ? [06:47] MasterShrek, hehe, yea im just giving u crap ;p [06:47] Evalec no, it doesn't exist =( [06:47] MasterShrek: it doesnt burn at my cd [06:47] MasterShrek: =( [06:47] MasterShrek, are u using RPM's for package installs or no? [06:47] My orginal error was the scsi 2:0:0:0: rejecting I/O dead device thing, then I rebooted and got both the GRUB error17 and 18. === chaky_ is now known as chaky [06:47] user11_011: i'll take a look at what files it installed once its doing installing, one sec [06:47] marcioapf, how did u install apache and phpmyadmin? [06:47] how do I restart xserver? [06:47] FrankLakatos-> once you plugged it in your ethernet port of your desktop, what do you see if you type ifconfig, do this before you plug in and after to see the difference [06:47] i heard that the kde version of ubuntu (kubuntu) is very buggy, example, last night i booted kubuntu and it wouldn't mount my hdds (errors), but ubuntu was able to do this very well [06:48] OK ... did you configure anything/update any packages between the SCSI error and the reboot ? [06:48] Evanlec, all of them by sudo apt-get [06:48] marcioapf, from the official repos? [06:48] Evanlec, now, slackware packages (.tgz) or source compiling [06:48] Nope. [06:48] shishio, do you have gnomebaker installed? [06:48] Evanlec, dunno? [06:48] What's the new "standard" for VPN's? OpenVPN? [06:48] MasterShrek, does slack use rpm? [06:48] MasterShrek: i dont know if i have that [06:49] Evanlec, no, it uses slackware packages which are .tgz [06:49] Evanlec, i think yes. i just typed things like sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin [06:49] MasterShrek, oh k [06:49] sudo apt-get install apache2 [06:49] shishio, can you install it? [06:49] MasterShrek: how> [06:49] ? [06:49] I'm setting up a box vista box as a security camera server... how can I access that via ubuntu? anyone know any good solutions to this? [06:49] shishio, sudo apt-get install gnomebaker [06:49] MasterShrek, he should be able to burn that iso using nautilus by default... [06:50] Evanlec, well it is breezy, ubuntu 5.10 [06:50] Luke: rdesktop? [06:50] bulmer->unpluged "TX Packets:304" , pluggedin "TX Packets:321" [06:50] Evanlec: using nautilus? how? [06:51] FrankLakatos-> what is that? what is before and what is after? [06:51] Evanlec: XD [06:51] bulmer->unplugged "txqueuelen:0" , plugged "txqueuelen:1000" [06:51] Darius08x: Where did you install Ubuntu ? Can you give me an idea of your partition layout ? [06:51] shishio, right click on your ISO file and hit Open with Cd/dvd creator [06:51] bulmer->3rd line of eth0 [06:51] user11_011 are you on a server install, or a desktop install [06:51] MasterShrek, Oh, i wonder what version of Gnome that is ;p [06:51] jack|ass: looking into it [06:52] Evanlec, somebody had the same problem than me, at this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=114129&page=2 (the last comment). He solved it, and according to him the problem was that source.list was not correct, what i cannot understand. [06:52] MrStonedOne: desktop [06:52] bulmer->sorry, i meant 4th line [06:52] Luke: your other option would be VNC, but I'd recommend rdesktop over that if it's windows XP or vista. [06:52] FrankLakatos-> what is that? what is before and what is after? you response is not comprehensible to me, can you pastebin your ifconfig before you plugin this device and also after? [06:52] ={ [06:52] =P [06:52] it's on a different computer [06:52] bulmer->it's on a different computer [06:52] Nope, not really. :/ I'm very new to linux, and wanted to give it a shot. Since windows has been nothing but trouble for me. I basically kept hitting next until the thing started to install. [06:52] marcioapf, which post is your problem please [06:52] jack|ass: yea i tried VNC and it's not what I was looking for [06:52] Evanlec: it doesnt have dc/dvd creator, just audio cd creato =( [06:52] FrankLakatos-> well you have to do something so i can make a good comparison, [06:53] shishio, maybe its time to upgrade? ;p [06:53] its /etc/x11/x to restart x server ? [06:53] evanlec, the last post [06:53] Darius08x: Ok ... and was there anything else on the Disk ? [06:53] open up synaptic package manager, find the package with search and hit properties, look at the installed files part, its the files under /usr/bin [06:53] Evanlec: done that, my system crashes:P [06:53] FrankLakatos-> you are making me guess too much, and i always guess wrong, do this from same ubuntu that you said dont work [06:53] marcioapf, on page 2 or 3? [06:53] Luke: rdesktop either spawns a virtual session or connects to the desktop (Depending on how windows is set up). It can do whatever resolution you want. [06:53] marcioapf, oh k [06:53] Yes. Windows XP. [06:53] why is dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/media/desktop/laptop/backup.dd failing every time at random locations? [06:53] MasterShrek: will i continue? "Remove the running kernel image (not recommended) [No]? [06:53] " [06:53] of is a smb mounted windows drive [06:53] Darius08x: It's odd that you're getting _both_ GRUB error 17 and 18 ... [06:54] Darius08x: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB#Error_18 [06:54] Guess my computer just hates me. [06:54] shishio, no dont remove it [06:54] jack|ass: basically someone else may be using the vista computer... I want to connect in the background [06:54] Now this is odd.... [06:54] shishio, i would say....NO [06:54] jack|ass: rdesktop woudl do that? [06:54] I just put my cd back in [06:54] Netham45: try setting a bs in dd [06:54] Daverocks, what would be a good BS? [06:54] Luke: hmm... I don't think so. See, in XP, it locks the machine and kicks the current user out. [06:54] and what is the paramater to set ie? [06:54] and went to install things over, went through setting up my clock, etc [06:54] Luke: you're connecting to the same session though. [06:54] then I get to prepare partitions [06:54] but apparently I don't have one [06:54] MasterShrek: whats next? [06:54] Luke: basically microsoft wants you to use the server versions if you are having multiple people connected at a time. [06:54] jack|ass: hrm... you know what I mean tho right? [06:54] Netham45: well depends on the size of the partition, maybe 8192 or 16384 [06:54] lol, it's blank, there is nothing there. [06:55] Darius08x: That is peculiar to say the least. [06:55] Netham45: bs=whatever ... look at the man page [06:55] MasterShrek: gnomebaker is now installed [06:55] jack|ass: well then what about connecting to the same session w/ vnc but not disturbing the user on the computer? [06:55] Evanlec, any idea of what "source.list not correct" means? [06:55] marcioapf, do you have the php5 module loaded? [06:55] Luke: yeah, totally. I'd imagine there's a registry hack out there for XP / Vista home to let you do that. Although you might check to see if vista premium lets you do that. [06:55] shishio, open gnomebaker, either from the menu or hit alt+f2 and type gnomebaker [06:55] Luke: you can do view-only vnc connections, but... [06:55] Darius08x: A GRUB error 17 would be consistent with not everything being installed where GRUB thinks it is ... I'd have another crack at the installation ... [06:55] Darius08x I would suspect that you might have a bad burn of the CD? Just a guess. Did you verify the image? [06:56] MasterShrek: Cannot display location 'file://gnomebaker' [06:56] Details: There is no default action associated with this location. [06:56] Darius08x: Be careful though, because your Windows XP installation may have been removed by the failed installation [06:56] jack|ass: basically the computer is doing double doubty. First it's the wifes work computer and second it's the baby monitor [06:56] Darius08x: i has a grub error 17 on a friend's computer earlier, what was wrong is that the hard drive itself had mostly failed [06:56] ...no? I just downloaded it off of ubuntu.com only a few minutes ago. Burned it at about half speed [06:56] *had [06:56] and then popped it in. [06:56] Evanlec, don't understand. I have php5 installed (my http://localhost works ok and parses .php files) [06:56] marcioapf, the sources.list is the file that specifies what Repos you're getting software from [06:57] So my Harddrive could be faulty Dave? [06:57] marcioapf, so he's saying is he needed to enable a certain repo to install phpmyadmin [06:57] shishio, i think that will be ok, the program is still open right? [06:57] Darius08x: well unfortunately grub error codes are really ambiguous, it can mean a lot of different things [06:57] marcioapf, but first run sudo apt-get update and then sudo-apt-get install phpmyadmin overwrite if asked [06:57] bulmer-> this is the unplugged "Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:ED:83:CF:45.

[06:57] ugh [06:58] hello [06:58] MasterShrek, the file:// format is gnome-vfs stuff i believe [06:58] hmm [06:58] Darius08x: It's a possibility ... if the absence of partitions continues after another attempted install, then it's looking likely ... but try the install process again ... it may not have quite gone to plan last time [06:58] FrankLakatos-> please pastebin the before and the after ifconfi results [06:58] MasterShrek: when i insert my blank CD it prompts me if i burn data or burn audio cd... should i try this? [06:58] MasterShrek, o wait nvm [06:58] jack|ass: do you know of anything that could do that.? [06:58] FrankLakatos-> ifconfig* [06:58] how could i see if it is active/deactivate this: ipw3945 [06:58] shishio, no, neither one will burn the iso to the disc [06:59] Evanlec, i did it. I didn't ask me to overwrite. [06:59] Darius08x: check if this works for you http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945 [06:59] Luke: well vista CAN do that. It's just a matter of convincing it that multiple sessions are allow. I've never tried that since I haven't touched vista much. :) [06:59] Evanlec **it didn't ask me to overwrite [06:59] EvaLuaTe: under gutsy? [06:59] bulmer-> what is paste bin?

I've gotten blue screen errors on windows. All sorts of system 32 files randomly disappearing [06:59] marcioapf, do a sudo apt-get --purge phpmyadmin [07:00] shishio, are all your files upgraded? sudo apt-get upgrade ? [07:00] Luke: or, more appropriately: http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/thread/156341.aspx [07:00] EvaLuaTe: any reason not to get gutsy? not sure if dapper supports that out of the box, but feisty and gutsy do [07:00] MasterShrek: upgraded to what? dapper? no its not [07:00] bulmer->unplugged http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46921/ [07:00] shishio, upgraded as far as it can be in breezy? [07:01] jack|ass: looks good man [07:01] jack|ass: thanks [07:01] ZSNES does not play well with the screensaver. If the screensaver activates while the SNES is playing (which is easy to do as the controller stick does not reset the screensaver's idle count) then the keyboard & mouse both become locked out (cannot even do ctrl + alt + backspace) [07:01] bazhang: is there any way to upgrade ubuntu without losing the current configuration ? [07:01] MasterShrek: hmm... u want me to upgrade my breezy? [07:01] What can I do? [07:01] shishio, yes [07:01] Evanlec it says invalid command. Then i tried both "sudo apt-get install --purge phpmyadmin" and " apt-get --purge install phpmyadmin". But i got the some old thing: "phpmyadmin is already the newest version." [07:01] shishio, sudo apt-get upgrade [07:02] MasterShrek: it takes another 4 hours to do that [07:02] FrankLakatos and once plugged? [07:02] shishio, jsut to make sure something isnt missing causing that gnomebaker error [07:02] oh i spose.. [07:02] umm shishio lemme look around for a fix [07:02] bulmer->plugged http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46922/ [07:02] MasterShrek: can i burn .iso on windos? [07:02] marcioapf, apt-get remove --purge phpmyadmin [07:02] MasterShrek: can i burn .iso on windows? [07:02] shishio, with some software, yes [07:03] MasterShrek: i can go to my other pc and burn .iso i have nero there [07:03] FrankLakatos-> before when it was workin, how do you configure this device to select which AP/router it should associate with? === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:03] Is there anyway to disable the screensaver while a program is running? [07:03] Dralid, killall gnome-screensaver [07:03] anyone know any IRC channels where music library / encoding discussions might be appropriate? [07:03] any dhcp gurus here? [07:04] shishio, yea that should work [07:04] i'd like to add a dns server to the /etc/dhcpd3/dhcp.conf file [07:04] EvaLuaTe: I'm guessing with that card that you have a pretty decent computer--you can upgrade via the internet first to feisty (and if you wish) then to gutsy [07:04] Evanlec, i did it. I also used apt-get update. Should i retry now apt-get install phpmyadmin? [07:04] shishio, i dont exaclty remember how to burn an iso in nero, but it shouldnt be very difficult [07:04] bulmer->there is a digital display and i can select p1,p2,p3,1-10, or ln [07:04] i tried adding option domain-name-servers x.x.x.x [07:04] you can try #ubuntu-offtopic maybe bqmassey [07:04] MasterShrek: ok ill do that [07:04] and when i do a dhclient ethx [07:05] i get the following error [07:05] FrankLakatos-> man i already told you have to eloborate, i cant be guessing ..i dont know what these p1 p2 are.. [07:05] thanks speeddemon8803 [07:05] /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf line 47: expecting "code" keyword. [07:05] option domain-name-servers 172. [07:05] bqmassey: want a list of irc channels?

[07:05] ,aci [07:05] sure thing bqmassey :) [07:05] googled and no luck [07:05] marcioapf, yea, try that, brb [07:05] * MasterShrek needs sleep... [07:05] bazhang.. already looked, thanks [07:05] EvaLuaTe: how long have you had this installation? [07:06] bazhang: a couple of months [07:06] bulmer->i'm not really sure, i think it means "port1", "port2", etc... I was normally able to leave it on p2 or p3 and it worked, http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?childpagename=US%2FLayout&packedargs=c%3DL_Product_C2%26cid%3D1115416828017&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper this is the device [07:06] you can go to #ubuntu-offtopic by typing /join #ubuntu-offtopic :) [07:06] shishio, are you going to be ok installing that when u are done burning it? i really need some sleep. also as far as your ntfs issue, you should have full read/write access to it after you install 7.10 [07:07] Evanlec, i did it. What is 'brb'? [07:07] EvaLuaTe: just trying to understand if your computer is decent enough to handle another upgrade (ie feisty or gutsy)--reasonably good? [07:07] brb = be right back [07:07] brb is short for...be right back [07:07] ahhhh. oh ok =D [07:07] bazhang: btw, i don't have that card, but i got a bug (BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!) and i found on a forum that disabling that driver would solve the problem. [07:07] FrankLakatos-> you have to do some legwork, ..anyhow per your posting, your ethernet once plugged in, did not have an ip address assigned, so it seems the device has not associated with your AP [07:08] thanks you both [07:08] bazhang: i got a P4 1700Mhz with 512 MB of ram [07:08] Your quite welcome. [07:08] =) [07:08] EvaLuaTe: then dapper might be best for now [07:09] bulmer-> would this have anything to do with the fact that the wireless router the ISP gave me has a password on it? [07:09] whoever linked me to the article to help on the grub error... it didn't help [07:09] anyone know how to install the Seperate+ plugin for the GIMP? [07:10] FrankLakatos-> it can be anything, you are now using a different AP from the old apartment, so off course things have changed..so you have to reconfigure things [07:10] I downloaded is and extracted it [07:10] i got problem with my connection..need to add dns ip in resolv.conf. If not..i cannot surf..how to fix it?Each time boot..need to add dns ip.. [07:10] but now what do I do ? [07:10] it make me sick [07:11] Is there a way with working compiz to make everything scale perfectly? Like if you have 3 windows open, something that will instantly resize them to correct sizes such that they are all completely visible at once on a desktop? [07:11] is there any graphical password generator for ubuntu? [07:11] bulmer->but normally i would be able to plug this thing in, and the OS would show it's got a wireless signal, and then i would have to put in the password if nessecary. So Ubuntu can't even see the wireless signal? [07:11] anyone?\ [07:12] is there any graphical password generator for ubuntu? [07:12] FrankLakatos-> you have to configure that device, period...it has a different network id and such, so you read the manual please and toy with those p1 p2 p3 stuff you mentioned [07:12] bulmer->alright, ill see what i can do, thanks [07:13] ankur-> what is a graphical password generator? [07:13] Ok, so I still get grub error 17, and also when I try and reinstall it doesn't locate any paration.

Upgrades go smooth most of the time [07:32] Ubuntu cannot use my eithernet or wireless connections [07:32] johns^: the server will be used for exchange server with postfix i think, internet acceses, even a setup as hot spot for wireless [07:32] and it could last night [07:32] Darious08x: if you're on the LiveCD, System -> Admin -> GPartEd (or Partition Editor) [07:32] Ok, hold on.

[07:38] elkbuntu: not very soon [07:38] Darius08x, depends how many disks of how large it can take a few mins [07:38] x_zeuss: no really, if you want Linux, use a beginner friendly distribution. I prefer ubuntu 7.10 atm, but Suse is allright, Xandros I have a soft spot for (been beta tester for the very first release) or Fedora [07:38] x_zeuss, if you wait until Hardy Heron is out, it'll be LTS so will have the extended support period [07:39] Any idea why NetworkManager failed to upgrade this morning? It seems to be something funny up with the restart script, but I have no idea.... [07:39] x_zeuss: or Mint, that's Ubuntu based btw [07:39] uhhh that command you gave me says "Here DISK is something like /dev/hdb or /dev/sda and PARTITION is something like /dev/hda7 [07:39] johns^: the idea is to use a free distro and also a good distro, i also thought about mint [07:39] and gives me some other things [07:39] Want me to list it all? [07:40] elkbuntu: for the server edition there is no gui right? [07:40] Evanlec, thx for help =). I need to go now. [07:40] x_zeuss, not by default, no [07:40] marcioapf, welcome [07:40] x_zeuss: Free and good: it doesn't really matter. I think Ubuntu is very easy to install and and support for nvidia, ati, mp3, flash, java plugin, that kind of stuff [07:41] Evanlec, thought you weren't here xD [07:41] Well this is highly irritating, the install wizard's lower half is cut off on my screen [07:41] how do I get it to show up [07:41] Kavok: press left alt and drag the screen? [07:42] Kavok: hmm, your best bet is probably either to attempt to reconfigure X with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [07:42] s/screen/window [07:42] Kavok: or use alternate CD [07:42] Usage: fdisk [-b SSZ] [-u] DISK Change partition table fdisk -l [-b SSZ] [-u] DISK List partiton Table(s) fdisk -s PARTITIION give partition size(s) in blocks fdisk -v Give fdisk version -u: give start and end in sector (instead of cylinder_ units -b 2048: (for certain MO disks) use 2048-bye sectors [07:42] Kavok: in any case we'll have to reconfigure X post-install [07:42] Darius08x: sudo fdisk -l? like the letter L? [07:42] johns^: Didn't work, [07:42] Im going to need the nvidia drivers for my screen to work properly anyhow [07:42] is there any way to shrink the screen [07:42] Kavok: ok, what scguy318 said, use the alternate cd [07:43] .... L not i [07:43] uhh sudo fdisk -l does nothing [07:43] im out of blank CDs :\ [07:43] lol [07:43] hello [07:43] just starts a new line. Doesn't list anything.

It's more fool-proof but slightly less easy [07:46] So is my HD screwed? Why would it have let me installed earlier if it's messed up? [07:47] If I wanted to do a text install again I'd do ubuntu :\ [07:47] Darious08x: I think it's something hardware wise [07:47] irc://irc.freenode.net/vorbis [07:47] Darious08x: thus the dead device error message you mentioned [07:47] do gentoo* [07:47] Darious08x: i dunno, a cold boot? [07:47] I've managed to cheat it though :P [07:47] I moved the taskbars or whatever to the left and right [07:47] and I can see the top few pixels of the buttons [07:47] Darious08x: and sorry for typoing your name [07:47] cold boot? >.> [07:48] elkbuntu: so i can install a gui after for the server edition? or would it be best to go with the text version? [07:48] Woohoo, it's up! Thank you. =) [07:48] Darious08x: shut down, start up? [07:48] x_zeuss, you can do either, but yes, CLI is better as it uses less resources when idling [07:48] Darious08x: check the cables on your HDD? i know, silly suggestion but possible === speeddemon8803 is now known as UbuntuLover [07:48] Oh, done it, same error. [07:48] x_zeuss: you don't have to run the X-server even when it's installed. but apt-get install x/k/ubuntu-desktop will give you a GUI === UbuntuLover is now known as speeddemon8803 [07:49] x_zeuss: I run windowmaker on my debian server, but it's not started at boot time.

After I plug in an monitor keyboard and mouse offcourse [07:50] is there any way i could recompile the kernel on ubuntu dapper ? if yes, how please ? [07:50] EvaLuaTe: there's been something about that on howtoforge.org [07:50] but you need build-essential, kernel sources and stuff like that. It's all there [07:51] johns^, ok thank you, i'll search there [07:51] elkbuntu: as a sollution for vpn what would you suggest? [07:52] Darius08x: if you need access to your HDD data, I advise plugging it into another machine [07:52] Darius08x: I suspect something hardware wise [07:52] Will the guided partition modes erase my XP partition? [07:52] That sucks. This computer is pretty new. Only a few months old. [07:53] hi everyone [07:53] Darius08x: well, I found a bad memory module in a new one that had strange crashes :P [07:54] johns^: would it be easier to maintain a server with a gui? i don't worry about the computers resources, that won't be a problem [07:54] If I choose "Guided - use the largest continuous free space" will that erase my XP partition [07:54] haha, this is great, I just tried loading a windows cd and get a bluescreen [07:54] Kavok: no [07:55] Kavok: but you probably either want to resize manually or pick a resize option [07:55] I have Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02) wireless card . I have try ndiswrapper and about 3 different windows. try bcl43xx with firmware ,but I think b34 is the one I need to install . The only thing is I think I need a newer kernel like 2.6.24 ,but I am not sure [07:55] Kavok: a manual partition job will permit you to create a separate partition for /home [07:55] johns^: ? [07:55] i'm having sound card issues. i've tried to compile the sound driver manually (snd-hda-intel), but when I do a modprobe, it says the driver doesn't exist...

[08:50] How to select Chinese font for BlueFish? I am using "ordinary font" for other stuff... but went it comes to Chiense text... it just selects the urgly font somewhere I don't know [08:51] triplc: it's probably taking place at a lower level [08:51] triplc: eg. a request is made for some text to written in the default font [08:51] triplc: and if the default font does not contain those glyphs, they will be transparently fetched from another font [08:51] sladen, ok... lower level... but please tell me where I can set it [08:52] triplc: System->Prefences->Appearance->Fonts? [08:53] sladen: hmm... no... that preference just only allow to select "one" font. [08:53] ignor my issues [08:53] triplc: ...the default font? [08:53] I solved them using the power of mental thinking [08:54] what command to install kde desktop? [08:54] triplc: Bluefish may have it's own choice as to what default font to install [08:54] aptitude? [08:54] what si bluefish [08:54] triplc: remember that most web-text /does not/ specify a font [08:54] sladen, actually, I am not using GNOME, I use Fluxbox... please me the program to run... not that meny [08:54] (menu) [08:54] what is blue fish [08:55] The bug(s) are apparently closed [08:55] triplc: gnome-appearance-properties, I think. [08:56] I wonder whether I should do some debugging or something [08:56] chilli_: BlueFish is an HTML authoring program, that triplc is currently using, you can install in from Add/Remove Programs... [08:56] what is blue fish [08:56] But in the other hand this is exactly the reason why I migrated from debian [08:56] chilli_: please, just ask once!

[08:58] an HTML authoring program, allows you to create Web (WWW) pages in a graphical click-and-draw way. Bluefish is an HTML authoring tool. Bluefish can therefore help you to make webpages in a graphical way, rather than completely from scratch in a text-editor. http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/ for more details [08:58] sladen: gnome-appearance-properties does not work, i am sorry [08:58] whabo: recordmydesktop [08:58] bauke: thx alot [08:58] triplc: sorry. Perhaps you could ask fluxbox people if you've chosen to use that [08:58] maybe the best way is to "remove" all other chinese fonts except the one I need :-) [08:59] triplc: I do not know BlueFish, but I suspect there are menus containing preferences [08:59] triplc: that would work for you. Remember that when you put the page on the web, you will not be able to choose the fonts that the person reading the page has [08:59] whabo, give me a minute, I'll find a link to the Ubuntu screencasting team, they have some good suggestions about recording your desktop [09:00] sladen, ah... fluxbox does not do anything about that... it is just a Window Manager... and it does not care about most of other things that Gnome/KDE do... anyway, thanks for your helps and patient :-) [09:00] triplc: if it's a case of the Chinese font that comes up by default "not looking good", then your skills and advice on improving that centrally for the whole of *buntu would be greatefully received [09:01] triplc: you can also select the default font from Firefox, for when you view the completed page, is that what you were after? [09:02] dgjones: thx alottt [09:02] whabo, have a look this, its got suggestions on good practice and software to use https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam/RecordingScreencasts [09:02] sladen, I know about Firefox font settings, which contains setting different fonts for different charset... i only hit problem with bluefish which does not have that [09:02] BTW, how do I switch to compiz?

[09:05] gvsa123: yes [09:06] triplc: and if i'm trying to manage multiple users on one ubuntu desktop, i can simply save the .mozilla to their /home folder and they should have the same plugins, settings, bookmarks, etc working on their account?

[09:10] I beg of someone with LVM experience to help [09:10] For reference - after my grub error 22, I finally booted. First I made a new primary partition sda1 on remainder of my disk and still could not install grub there as before. Then I installed Gutsy on sda1, grub was correctly installed there and also booted my original installation on sda5. I still don't know what the problem was.

[10:09] kitofhawaii: then he's not able to get support [10:09] cheetahfr: well, its not xmms you really need. [10:10] cheetahfr: the bottom line is the codecs needed are online only [10:10] i can't go online, it does not recognise my wireless card. [10:10] XMMS is ugly [10:10] look on the internet for a guide on what codecs are needed. [10:10] i can download anything from here and transfer it to the ubuntu computer. [10:10] and then get those packages. [10:10] how can i run a 32bit linux app on my 64bit Ubuntu distro? compatibility mode? [10:10] right. [10:10] any idea , how I can install ubuntu from DiskOnKey ? [10:10] if canonical wants us to purchase things from their store, they should make it cheaper :/ [10:10] cheetahfr: ok, so get the correct packages online and install them from a cd [10:10] !offtopic >m0u5e [10:10] cheetahfr, have you looked at the packages.ubuntu.com website I suggested to you earlier? [10:10] nemo_: i think they may have backwards compatability.. like, default. [10:11] ikonia: he can get them from another computer and install them from a usb drive [10:11] nemo_: you need to use something like a 32bit chroot [10:11] dgjones, yeah i did. hold on one moment. [10:11] Stevethepirate: thats nonese, 32bit libs are not backward compatability [10:11] can someone help me [10:11] pgan: thats very true [10:11] ikonia: A -lot- of apps [10:11] sasha_: possibly, what is the problem [10:11] Stevethepirate: none [10:11] i dont have Maximize/Minimize buttons [10:12] http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/sound/xmms. it's confusing. what do i download? [10:12] ikonia: I've seen it being done. [10:12] i cant move windows [10:12] :D [10:12] Stevethepirate: no 32bit apps will run on a 64 bit base system [10:12] Not natively. [10:12] sasha_: you can't move windows ? [10:12] cheetahfr| visit http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing.html and read the part that says Installing a package manually [10:12] i was install compiz [10:12] nope [10:12] But sandboxed, easily. [10:12] sweet, thanks angel. [10:12] Stevethepirate: yes, so thats not compatabile, so please don't offer fantasy solutions to people [10:12] a package is a tar zip, is it? [10:12] next! [10:12] just to confirm. [10:12] Stevethepirate: i am trying to use Cedega to run WOW, on my gutsy(x64) system [10:12] sasha_: can you expand a bit on that [10:12] okay, i'm gone. thanks for your help anyway. [10:13] cheetahfr| afaik dude [10:13] sasha: I don't know compits, but have you tried to reboot? [10:13] cheetahfr| i did not mean for you to leave dude [10:13] my windows always Maximize [10:13] i cant Minimize them [10:13] cheetahfr| i just meant i'm good help for a noob [10:13] no, that's cool. i'll try to install manually. [10:13] ikonia: A family of computer models is said to be compatible if certain software that runs on one of the models can also be run on all other models of the family. The computer models may differ in performance, reliability or some other characteristic. Any difference may affect the outcome of the running of the software. [10:13] nemo_: and? [10:14] cheetahfr, go down to the bottom of the screen, and its got a section for download xmms, if you're using the i386 version, click on that and chose a local download location, save the file to cd or usb stick, transfer it to the machine you want it on and then you can install it there [10:14] sasha: have you tried to reboot? [10:14] Stevethepirate: look, 32bit binaries will not run on a 64 bit OS without the 32bit libraries being installed. [10:14] sasha: log out then back in [10:14] i was looking compiz effects [10:14] nemo: gutsy 64x is buggy and wack, not all apps are 64x friendly even with the 32bit librarry [10:14] ikonia: hmm.. kk, /me gives in. [10:14] and i dont know how to back my Maximize/Minimize buttons [10:14] dgjones. gotcha. now when you say 'install it from there', what does that mean? is it as simple as double clikcing something? [10:14] angel: what are you talking about ? === oediv_ is now known as oediv [10:14] cheetahfr, when you've got it on the machine you want, right click on the file and there's be an option to install using gdebi manager [10:14] sasha_: maybe try #cedega or even #wine if we can't help. [10:15] sweet, i'll try that. thanks dgjones. [10:15] i don't have problems with emus [10:15] cheetahfr, you're welcome [10:15] Stevethepirate: when i read the help dos for install it says for a 64bit system i need "32-bit compatibility environment must be available" [10:15] i have problems with kde windows :) [10:15] Then clearly. 32-bit compatbility must be available. [10:15] nemo_: thats correct, basiclly you need to install an almost complete 32bit os into a seperate directory on your disk (simple summary) [10:16] Which is like. Fail. [10:16] has anybody installed EST-610U on Ubuntu? or has anyone installed any USB products with product id = 0610? [10:16] In essence. [10:16] ikonia| i had a 64bit gutsy but found that some apps just could not be installed even with the the library, is there ANY performance difference between 32 and 64bit? [10:16] someone know hot to setup Maximize/Minimize toolbar ? [10:16] angel: your statment does not warrent "64 bit is buggy" [10:16] angel: there can be performance gains, in certain areas [10:16] I would not guess a huge difference in average PC use.. [10:16] like, browsing, word processing, etc. [10:16] ikonia so i boot into linux launch linux then luanch wine to launch wow... wow [10:17] Stevethepirate: totally [10:17] nemo_: wine is not available on 64 bit platforms as I recall [10:17] but maybe for GIMP'ing.. or video editing or number crunching.. you'd notice the difference. [10:17] ikonia: it is. [10:18] wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit [10:18] lets see [10:18] ikonia| yes you are right. my spesific issue was ubuntu trying to update my 32bit vmware-server to 64bit. it kept reinstalling the 32bit version [10:18] wine's available on 64-bit but it only supports 32-bit windows apps [10:18] Stevethepirate: have you even read that - it is a 32bit package ! [10:18] but yeah, you will need 32 bit lib's as well. [10:18] ikonia: yes. [10:18] Stevethepirate: so thats "not available on a 64 bit platform !" [10:19] huh? [10:19] Stevethepirate: stoping missleading people [10:19] Stevethepirate: wine is not available on a 64 bit platform [10:19] angel: well definitely 64-bit vmware'd be important on 64-bit machines (VT technology you'll see a huge difference) i'd be upset too if it only installed 32-bit :) [10:19] hello [10:20] hello [10:20] ikonia| wine IS available on a 64bit, but maybe it is only 32bit [10:20] ikonia: its a flipping way, by the makers of the program in question, for people to install 32bit wine on a a 64-bit system [10:20] angel: then that is a 64bit platform [10:20] Stevethepirate: 32bit is no a 64 bit platform [10:20] I know. [10:20] dgjones: right click GD package installer.... ERROR: Dependency is not satisfiable: libglib1.2 [10:20] But the program he wants to wine is 32 bit [10:20] --> WoW [10:21] Stevethepirate yes I know, which is why I said wine is not available on a 64bit platform [10:21] so he needs a way to wine 32bit programs in a 64 bit system [10:21] and you said "it is" [10:21] namely. [10:21] ikonia: do you think there is a noticible performance differiance between X64 and X86 that warents the extra hassle [10:21] nemo_: depends what your doing [10:21] wine64bit [10:21] g0g0g0g0 [10:21] its not 64bit ! [10:21] anyone know how to get around that error? [10:21] does anybody know how to make the mplayer plugin not blue in epiphany? i set every mplayer config to vo x11 [10:21] ay yay yay..people! you can install some 32bit apps on a 64bit platform running a 64bit OS. there is no 64bit wine! but you can get 32bit wine to work under 64bit! [10:21] fullscreen is fine [10:22] that means you need to get the packags it says are dependancies [10:22] i'm tired of xp so i want to use ubuntu/program/play games (wow) [10:22] * AmL thinks ikonia and Stevethepirate should have their lovers quarrel elsewhere [10:22] and stop getting ikonia mad! [10:22] =) [10:22] AmL: agreed [10:22] * Stevethepirate thinks AmL should DIAF. [10:22] nemo_: the best gaming platform will be windows [10:22] DIAF ?

[10:23] Stevethepirate, please stop the gibberish and insults [10:24] ikonia: It will be the best gaming platform until a non propriety platform comes out... [10:24] cheetahfr: thats a library [10:24] elkbuntu: soz. [10:24] :P [10:24] does the cache read from the RAM memory? [10:24] so that's the library i need to install, got it. [10:24] namely, until you get openDX or something. [10:24] bullgard4: Applications -> Accessories -> Take Screenshot (prtsc button works the same) [10:24] cheetahfr: that libary is part oa package though [10:24] how do I get SCIM to be the default input method for all apps? [10:24] cheetahfr: "of a package" that should read [10:24] what's the oa package? does that change anything? [10:24] cheetahfr: the package is glib [10:25] kitofhawaii: Thank you very much.

This can hurt your system...." and so on. [10:25] How should i deal with this? [10:25] Stevethepirate| the only reason why windoze is better at games is because of the money, you can't have that kind of support on HW and SW for free...for now at least [10:25] bullgard4: alt-prtsc will capture just the window (also useful if you need it) [10:25] aladinsane, did you add unofficial repositories? [10:25] angel: Um, UT2003 was released on linux and windoz at the same time? [10:25] aladinsane: it means the key for the repo your downloading is not available, so its "unauthenticated" [10:25] For example. [10:25] yeah. how is it this kind of support is free? what do you guys get out of it? [10:25] aladinsane: is it an ubuntu repo, [10:26] Stevethepirate: this is ubuntu support [10:26] has anybody installed EST-610U on Ubuntu? or has anyone installed any USB products with product id = 0610?

[10:29] Yeah, i have a 5.1 sound card.. === d_i_b is now known as dressed_in_black [10:29] no0tic, ikonia: [10:29] I only have archive.canonical.com/ubuntu, getautomatix.com, medibuntu.org and WineHQ repositories under Third-party Software. [10:29] If there's a key missing how do i find out and how do i fix it? [10:29] a dedicated sub and 2 speakers === _Sisco is now known as Sisco [10:29] Stevethepirate: Run the alsamixer and check the switches [10:29] aladinsane automatrix ! [10:29] so 2 speakers in Headhpone out.. [10:29] !automatix | aladinsane [10:29] aladinsane: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [10:29] ikonia: should i switch to an X86 distro? [10:30] sorry to bother you but what's the linux equivalent of ipconfig? [10:30] nemo_: that seems a sensible approach [10:30] and I need a crossover for a sub that i'm plugging into line out. [10:30] owain: ifconfig [10:30] owain: ifconfig [10:30] thanks [10:30] nemo_| switch! [10:30] Suva: no, i mean.. its plugged in.. but I need a separate EQ for it.. [10:30] hi, there!... how can I configure my system to use only my off-board soundcard instead the on-board one? [10:30] and having typed that I can finally see why my smb.conf won't work ;) [10:30] Stevethepirate: Uh? [10:30] ikonia: is there a noticeable difference in things like compiz? [10:30] or at least a high pass filter for that channel alone. [10:30] ?? [10:30] Stevethepirate| that reminds me dude, how do i renew my ip address using ifconfig? [10:30] nemo_: no [10:31] dhclient [10:31] @ angel [10:31] Stevethepirate: Doesn't sub have built in crossover? [10:31] dam and i just got everything working [10:31] ikonia: ok so thats the culprit here? i dont know if i have installed anything with automatix, but if i have, what wopuld happen to those applications if removed automatix, with updates and so on? [10:31] angel: ifconfig doesn't actually manage dhcp as it does in windows. Stevethepirate the priate has it correct its an extneral application (dhclent n this example) that deals with dhcp requests [10:31] oh for fucks sake. now it says i have to get another library. "libgtk1.2". [10:31] Can anyone help me get my wireless working? [10:31] olaa [10:31] so... I just installed the last 7.10 Ubuntu... [10:32] aladinsane: no idea, once automatix is on your system we can't support it without a clean install [10:32] you'd think it could just list all the libraries i need instead of 1 by 1 [10:32] Suva: No, its a 600W active sub thats normally plugged into a DSP or something, so that it manages the crossover. [10:32] angel: make sure you reference the right nic with dhclient...if you're running vmware you can screw up your default route and dns table [10:32] you guys rock btw, linux is very frustrating for a n00b. I love working out how to use a command but if I can't remember what it is quickly it's suprisingly hard to find on google [10:32] cheetahfr: it basically tries to install, then when it hits the first missing dependancy, says "oops, we need that package" and halts. [10:32] angel: from experience :) [10:32] firefox shows blue with the mplayer plugin too [10:32] I'm having trouble 'cause I have 2 soundcards and no sound at all, actually... ;-) [10:32] ie google gets you there easily [10:33] hola [10:33] but google gets many many answers not all helpful ;) [10:33] !es | tere [10:33] tere: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [10:33] anyways, thanks again [10:33] Stevethepirate: Ah, I am not sure if you even asked help. But probably your local hifi shop will help you out :P === schueler is now known as benpicco [10:33] and hoorah for samba [10:33] f_tyet: type alsamixer in konsole. .and see if anything has a "M|M" next to it.. that means muted. [10:33] jesus was here!? [10:33] Suva: no. [10:33] Listen. [10:34] cheetahfr| dude, installing is not noob level. it is way apt-get was made. [10:34] ikonia: that sounds serious, i'll remove it pronto. but about this Geany and not authenticated bla bla bla, i think that might be some other issue, as it should be located in one of the normal repos, so how do i find out if i have the right keys for my repos? [10:34] I need to run a software digital signal processor. So that I can adjust the signal outputs to all outputs independently. [10:34] hi, I've presed crtl alt f1, I tried ctrl alt f7 to take me back but I just get a cream screen the the cusor and nowing else, any ideas? [10:34] You may have crashed X.. [10:34] aladinsane with out a clean install on your system, we can't support you [10:34] Stevethepirate: Something like a Jack-Rack? :P [10:34] press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace [10:35] Suva: no. [10:35] aladinsane: you'll need to re-install if you want support from the ubuntu community [10:35] Do you know what a graphics equalizer is? [10:35] Stevethepirate: Ofcourse [10:35] angel, pleast stop calling everything 'noob' [10:35] Stevethepirate: hi, there.. about alsamixer, I have already tried it out... but I'm not sure AC'97 soundcard or Audigy one is trying to make any sound... got it? ;-) [10:35] hello [10:35] algun chico wuapo? [10:35] !es | tere [10:36] yah apt-get's not a noob feature...it's just a part of debian, it's been there forever...just another (and very good) package handler [10:36] olaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [10:36] tere: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [10:36] f_tyet: try " cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp" see if any white noise comes out ... [10:36] *hates the term noob... [10:36] Suva: well, basically. I need a separate EQ for each of my outputs on my sound card. [10:36] kitofhawaii: /me too [10:36] Stevethepirate: hehe, I'll see right now... [10:37] Stevethepirate: So you need something like jack-rack with bunch of "Multiband EQ's" loaded? :P [10:37] I'm a proud bearer of the name Noob! [10:37] I have NFC what a jack rack [10:37] But that sounds like some hardware. [10:37] Stevethepirate: Are you on Linux at all? :) [10:38] Stevethepirate: http://jack-rack.sourceforge.net/ [10:38] Suva: Let me check it out. [10:38] Stevethepirate: If you don't like to use Jack, then you probably have to achieve it some other way [10:38] Stevethepirate: so... nothing happened, though [10:38] this is ridiculous. the libgtk1.2 needs a library now... i give up. this is fucked. [10:39] thanks anyway guys. [10:39] cheetahfr: there is no need for that language [10:39] gtk1.2 ? [10:39] Stevethepirate: It's an LADSPA FX stack for Jack [10:39] deal_: us older guard prefer the term ID:10t...shorthand for "pointed the client to the help page" :) [10:39] cheetahfr: you have been aked 2 times [10:39] oh. sorry. [10:39] what on earth are you installing? [10:39] xmms gordon. [10:39] xmms. [10:39] cheetahfr: ah [10:39] bmp [10:39] yeah, beep media player [10:39] never mind. seeyaz. [10:39] Suva: lol @ the EULA for it : "I would ask that you do not use this program to make music that is for God, Jesus or Religion (eg, hymns, mantras, etc.) " [10:40] bmp is very good, similer to xmms, i like both, [10:40] Stevethepirate: This is a parody of ZynAddSubFX EULA :P [10:40] lol [10:40] Suva: so basically its a GUI for EQ'ing each input and output? [10:41] If this works.. My sound system will be complete :P [10:41] 12.3 sound system... ftw. [10:41] Stevethepirate: Well, you need to run JACK [10:41] 3 sound cards.. and its done :P [10:41] * Stevethepirate adds up the power. [10:41] 3kW [10:41] Stevethepirate: And it's a gui for adding arbitrary effects on arbitrary sound paths [10:41] Stevethepirate: actually, it suposed to make any sound... I chenged the output plug between the two soundcards, but I realized neither devices are playing anything [10:42] Stevethepirate: 12.3? i don't even think i've owned that many speakers in my life [10:42] Suva: so it'll work with amarok for example? [10:42] Stevethepirate: You can also add compressors, limiters, flangers, reverbs, distortions, synthesis, etc. [10:42] kitofhawaii: 5.1 + 5.1 + 2.1 [10:42] Stevethepirate: If amarok supports jack then yes [10:42] Suva: I just need a high pass filter [10:42] Suva: howto check if it does? [10:43] Check the output driver [10:43] Can anyone help me with my wireless? I've followed all the instructions I could find on the forum [10:43] Can you change it from ALSA to jack [10:43] it just wont connect to my router [10:43] hmm [10:43] Kavok: whats the problem? [10:43] Stevethepirate: what're you setting up a distributed sound system? [10:43] hmm [10:43] kitofhawaii: no, just for my room :P [10:43] Stevethepirate: Jack is also RT stuff, you need -rt kernel for it to work right [10:43] !rss [10:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about rss - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:43] I have a Atheros AR5007EG [10:43] I admit its overkill [10:43] I can't connect to my router [10:43] but occassionaly i DJ [10:44] Stevethepirate: http://jackaudio.org/ <-- Please read this [10:44] and having to adjust EQ's every few secs is pain.. [10:44] I've used ndiswrapper with the windows drivers and dmesg shows no errors but i still can't connect [10:44] Suva: yeah, its loading. [10:44] Stevethepirate: In that case you might be easyer off using amarok plugin [10:44] Stevethepirate: o.O what're you making your own IMAX!? [10:44] you know what, I'm kindda missing the "alsaconf" command over the ubuntu... how can we configure the sound device over the Ubuntu 7.10? does anyone know it? [10:44] Kavok: what type of encryption are you using on your router? [10:45] Suva: do any amarok plugins allow separate EQ's for each output [line out and headphone out]? === ajmorris_ is now known as ajmorris_|AFK [10:45] Stevethepirate: Surely an owner of IMAX cinema has enough money to pay poor programmer like Suva some money to develop a solution :) [10:45] Suva: I have no IMAX. [10:45] I have 58" plasma though :P [10:45] kitofhawaii: I turned encryption off [10:45] what is the point of having a 64bit os? [10:45] Stevethepirate: Surely an owner of 58" plasma has enough money to pay poor programmer like Suva some money to develop a solution :) [10:46] I can 'see' the network [10:46] It has a strong signal [10:46] nemo_: so you can put a "64-bit" sticker on ur PC :P [10:46] I just can't 'connect' [10:46] Suva: nah... [10:46] i found a 52" plasma in a junk-yard-thingie [10:46] Stevethepirate: Call me if you can't find decent solution and I can give you my prices :) [10:46] was just the tuner that was busted [10:46] Kavok: in terminal, iwconfig and ifconfig, do they show your wlan adapter? [10:46] so now i have a 52" svga-monitor =) [10:46] mavi same thing... [10:46] I got my 58" [10:46] bought a new tuner for 10$ [10:46] Stevethepirate: Developing amarok plugin like this shouldn't cost too much, 100 - 300 eur max [10:47] the PSU was screed [10:47] Suva: lol. [10:47] * Stevethepirate is poor South African :P [10:47] hy guys ... can somebody tell me where i can find the open driver ati project site???THANK U! [10:47] (With 58" plasma screen) [10:47] kitofhawaii: I think so? im not sure [10:47] Seriously. [10:47] Kavok: do you see either wlan1 or wlan0 in both? [10:47] It was like R2000 to repair it.. [10:48] kitofhawaii: wlan0 in both [10:48] to fix my sdmcp problem, i logged in the safe mode and startx but it does not allow me to change much. cannot even go to admin -> services [10:48] Kavok: in the iwconfig output, under wlan0, does ESSID: show the essid of your router? [10:48] Stevethepirate: I still think you would be better off with HW filters [10:49] kitofhawaii:ESSID: off/any [10:49] where i can ask about the installer ? i have hardware and the driver not included with the system ... how can i add it ? [10:49] RAID controlar driver [10:49] kitofhawaii: Its my router now [10:49] kitofhawaii: depends on when I check [10:49] Kavok: try "iwconfig wlan0 essid " and then "dhclient wlan0" [10:51] Kavok: forgot to mention use sudo for those commands... [10:51] kitofhawaii: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval ## <-- random number here [10:51] hi guys ... can somebody tell me where i can find the open driver ati project site???THANK U!

[10:52] Kavok: you might need to try a different ndis driver...which are you using? ndiswrapper can look like it's working even if it's having a problem [10:52] kitofhawaii: I've used three different drivers [10:53] kitofhawaii: I've used this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=554531 and this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=512828 [10:53] as reference [10:54] And like I said, I can see networks [10:54] just not connect [10:54] Ola Bom Dia Pessoal Ubuntu hehehe uhulll... alguem aki já manja pelo sistema em Wine ?

[10:56] Are there any other steps I can take to troubleshoot this [10:57] Kavok: does iwconfig wlan0 still show your essid, and are you receiving any packets at all? [10:58] kitofhawaii: it changes back and fourth between off/any and my network [10:58] kitofhawaii: every few seconds [10:58] Kavok: and confirm you match case with your router (essid's are case sensitive)?

[11:57] yah i'm a bit lost by that last one... === mikebeecham9023 is now known as mikebeecham [11:58] hmm.. to setup a dedicated server or not to setup a server.. lawlz [11:59] /q vol [11:59] Ximal: the new server's vmware...keep your servers portable :-) [12:00] oh no m8 [12:00] i'm talking about ubuntu lamp server ;) [12:00] without x.. [12:00] i aquired an old presario pentium at about 1 to 1.6 ghz ... a 30 gig hd etc.. [12:00] heck.. thing even has a zip drive on it .. lawl [12:00] kitofhawaii: vmware is passw. Xen and kvm [12:00] lamp servers suck [12:01] hey good morning everyone [12:01] It's not enterprise at all [12:01] wols_: xen yes i could see...now that citrix has it we're looking at it at work [12:01] then go buy a system on a rack suva and go corporate on your own m8 [12:01] does the WineHQ repository do anything good to have under third-party software? [12:02] Ziggy: it has a latter version of wine sometimes and has sorta broken packages sometimes too [12:02] wols_: but i will say our esx servers run phenomenally, and we use vmware at our satellites without problems (just move the file :) [12:02] ? [12:02] Hi, i am using thunderbird on ubuntu gusty, i have download email from gmail, and have lost that hard disk, now computer installed now, how to get that old email again, [12:02] hey can someone help me out with some dual display setups [12:03] I am trying to get my tv and my laptop monitor to work together [12:03] !ask | databits [12:03] databits: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [12:03] I need some help getting an extended desktop workin [12:03] What is the best remote desktop software I can get hold of for Linux? [12:03] !best [12:03] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. [12:03] I am using GRDesktop, but this is quite laggy [12:03] u mean where u slide ur mouse to the other monitor databits ? [12:04] like with windows / ati vid cards and dual display ? [12:04] ya [12:04] sarthor, You'll still be able to access it on your gmail account.. [12:04] Hi, i am using thunderbird on ubuntu gusty, i have download email from gmail, and have lost that hard disk, now computer installed now, how to get that old email again, [12:04] hmm... you running 2 cards ? or 1 ? [12:04] wols_: good point...I will rephrase: [12:04] no I am running a laptop with a svideo out [12:04] DarthShrine, i can download only new emails , not the email already download in the old computer. [12:04] I know it can be done no probelm it it was working half assed before but for some reason now it isn't working [12:04] oh... then u will only be able to run svideo or your laptop lcd's display.. no dual display... [12:05] Could some people let me know what they use as remote desktop clients on Ubuntu...I am using grdesktop, but it can be quite laggy [12:05] sarthor, I'm not sure if it's possible for POP access, but if you set up IMAP you'll probably be able to access the archive. [12:05] not in ubuntu from my experience m8.. you might have a program in windows that supports it.. [12:05] try installing that program into wine.. [12:05] DarthShrine: recently gmail added imap support [12:05] mikebeecham: i use vnc/tighvnc if i require full desktop access, or xterm if i only require certain apps [12:05] DarthShrine, Can you please tell me a bit about Imap, and and also do gmail support it? [12:05] erUSUL, Which is why I mentioned it ;) [12:05] mikebeecham: *tightvnc [12:05] i used to use my ati dual display too... but it won't work properly all the time in ubuntu... [12:05] windows supports what ? [12:06] Ximal: that's because ATI is made of fail [12:06] haha [12:06] databits : hmm... try plugging in the svideo cord into the tv and laptop .... then turn off the laptop [12:06] DarthShrine, i am not much familier to linux [12:06] and reboot.. [12:06] I have a intel 910 graphics accelerator I think [12:06] see if it brings it up on the tv when u reboot.. [12:06] sarthor, You're able to access the mailbox as it would appear on the web interface. Yes, it does support it. You'll be able to enable it from your Gmail account settings on the website. You'll have to set up Thunderbird for the account though. [12:06] kitofhawaii : I need to be able to access my work desktop from home, so need full access to desktop, files and folders [12:06] ya I am going to give that a shot I will brb [12:06] kitofhawaii: at the moment grdesktop does the job, but it is laggy [12:06] shit if I can get that shit runnin good I am going to be lovin the linux [12:07] watch the language data... [12:07] ;) [12:07] DarthShrine, Ok. Let me try my brother, Thank you, [12:07] !language | databits [12:07] mikebeecham: freenx maybe [12:07] databits: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [12:07] sarthor, Good luck. [12:07] I would have kept it a long time ago but I need to have my dual display so I can watch my movies on my tv [12:07] mikebeecham run rdesktop from the command line [12:07] mikebeecham if you want remote desktop that is [12:07] grdesktop ? [12:07] databits .... why not just get the crt display adapter to rca jack ? [12:07] mikebeecham: once you go over wire to home, it's going to be fairly laggy. tightvnc compresses things down for going long-haul better [12:08] mikebeecham: are you connecting through a vpn? [12:08] you know... the one where u can hookup a external monitor... with double male conn switch and then the female monitor to rca output jack [12:08] what command do i use to remove the sudo privilege from a user? [12:08] kitofhawaii : no direct [12:08] then instead of doing svideo you would be using both at same time ;) [12:08] I use desktop to connect via Ip address to my works machine [12:09] dont talk about security [12:09] lol [12:09] kitofhawaii have you tried tightvnc through an ssh tunnel? I have been working on this and it seems quicker than without the tunnel [12:09] abhi_ : system > administration > users [12:09] DarthShrine, for pop i am using pop.gmail.com as incomming server, what will be incomming server for imap? [12:09] mikebeecham: this is to a windows box at your office or linux? [12:10] windows [12:10] so, i'm going to be overseas, and i want to access my desktop at home, but my IP periodically changes... any suggestions? [12:10] mikebeecham Install openssh on windows xp and run rdesktop through an ssh tunnel...much more secure [12:10] sarthor, http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77662&topic=12814 [12:10] I am running 7.10 at home..i work from home on e day a week, and I want to connect onto my works Windows machine, running XP pro [12:10] corruptionoflulz no-ip.com [12:10] tho1: i haven't, i usually go through an ipsec vpn and it's pretty fair, though i usually have to change the polling settings on the host === AutumnCat_ is now known as AutumnCat [12:11] mikebeecham: rdekstop [12:11] kitofhawaii I have a friend in Dublin Ireland accessing my server (Baffin Island...the arctic) and we have found the tunnel does seem to speed things up [12:12] wols_ : thanks..will look at that [12:12] mikebeecham: well there's terminamikebeecham: have you tried the terminal server client, under applications -> internet? [12:12] tho1: will that site still work even if my ip at home changes? [12:12] well that got stepped over :) [12:12] corruptionoflulz that is what the site is all about...check it out [12:12] tho1: thanks [12:12] kitofhawaii : no [12:13] tho1: i'll try it :) honestly most of the places i connect to use citrix, and that's always been phenomenal. [12:13] there's so many repositories out there when you search the web, it's hard as a beginner to understand which ones you actually do need, can anyone link to a site where just valid/supported/fantastic repos are located [12:13] mikebeecham: does your office have a cable modem? [12:13] I'm in UK...we have adsl [12:13] mikebeecham: what's your roundtrip ping time to the office? [12:13] Ziggy: the official ubuntu.com ones [12:14] Ziggy: well you should only need the repos under System > Administration > Software Sources. But if you want more you usually get them for certain programs [12:14] kitofhawaii: not sure...not checked really...I've been a long-time windows user, so thier remote desktop has been fine...now I'm on linux my first thought was how laggy it was [12:14] will check terminal though [12:14] mikebeecham: i have both windows and linux here and they run the same [12:15] WOOT [12:15] ubuntu has torrent built in [12:15] thats nice [12:15] a torrent client [12:16] mikebeecham: but i use the terminal server client [12:16] kitofhawaii I think the terminal server client is just a frontend for rdesktop [12:16] mikebeecham: i would definitely recommend if you're connecting to your windows box to continue using RDP (either terminal server client or grdesktop) [12:17] What do you say if I say VMware [12:17] ? [12:17] has anyone heard of ubuntu certified pro training courses in australia? === galdar\linux is now known as Galdar\Linux [12:17] tho1: i'm not so sure about that, it's been around a long time on linux [12:17] Ziroday, ok but medibuntu is good to have for example, i figured that out, and i suppose there are others, all i want is to find a plce where i can see them all, that is the good, valid, supported ones. so i dont need to go find them when i need "that" software [12:17] galdar\linux: what is your question? [12:18] Well kinda need it to get windows runing through Ubuntu... but doesn't know why... jrib [12:18] how* [12:18] >_< [12:18] !vmware > Galdar\Linux (read the private message from ubotu) [12:19] Ziggy: I don't know of the top of my head a list but the two supported ones by the communitiy (i think) are seveas and medibuntu repos [12:19] jrib: thanks, and btw cool bot :D [12:20] ok i wanna use a java applet and firefox suggests installing "gcj web browser plugin (using IcedTea)" [12:20] last time i used that it didnt work [12:20] any ideas? [12:20] linduxed: are you on 64bit or 32bit? [12:20] 64 [12:21] linduxed: sun does not make a 64bit java plugin. Is there a reason you do not use 32bit ubuntu? [12:21] core 2 duo [12:21] Hi, is it possible to bring get the emails from yahoo in thunderbird? using gusty [12:21] linduxed: you can still use 32bit ubuntu and you won't have these problems [12:21] that's a not reason :P [12:21] performance loss? [12:22] sarthor not unless you subscribe to the pay version of yahoo [12:22] linduxed: I'd be interested to see if you notice one [12:22] hii [12:22] are you noticing an increased performance? [12:22] !flash64 > linduxed (read the private message from ubotu) [12:22] tho1, Ohh. Ok. [12:22] hi [12:22] linuxed: as its a core duo, that essentially dual cpu, do you use an smp kernel?? [12:23] linduxed: anyway, those are the complicated instructions you need to install 32bit firefox on 64bit ubuntu. But the correct solution here is for you to use 32bit ubuntu and then things will "just work" [12:23] Is there any way to invoke the Ubuntu installer xorg configurator? I tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg with no pretty result. [12:23] SpookyET: what was the result? [12:24] Slow, very slow graphics [12:24] no hardware acceleration [12:24] wrong resolution. [12:24] jrib: whats the gain in that case to use 64 bit [12:24] ? [12:24] SpookyET: what video card do you have? [12:24] using which driver? [12:24] the ubuntu installer go tit right [12:24] I have ATI Radeo X700 [12:24] linduxed: 64bit lets you use more than 4gb of ram [12:25] and bigger partitions [12:25] mikebeecham: another thing you can try is logmein.com [12:25] linduxed: my point is there is no real gain to using 64bit for the average desktop user [12:25] tho1: odd, no-ip is refusing to create a config file =/ [12:25] hi everyone [12:25] bigger partitions? how much bigger, brobostigon ? [12:25] !ati > SpookyET (read the private message from ubotu) [12:26] no idea?? [12:26] really, really big, kittie [12:26] jrib, they are installed [12:26] Ximal: this is on server [12:26] they are not being used [12:26] corruptionoflulz the computer I have that software on is packed away at the moment...so I can be of only limited help. Did yo uinstall the software as root? [12:26] SpookyET: what driver did you select? [12:26] huh [12:26] JimmyDee: o. that makes sense. thanks. [12:26] that one [12:26] can anybody tell me how to open the console in ubuntu please? [12:26] tho1: i used sudo apt-get if that is what you are referring to, yes [12:26] what is on server abhi_ ? [12:26] !terminal | handsoffate_ [12:26] handsoffate_: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [12:27] thank you [12:27] SpookyET: no, specificallly, what was the name you used when you selected it at the 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' screen? [12:27] fglrx [12:28] Ximal: i want to remove sudo privilege for users on my Ubuntu Edgy server [12:28] corruptionoflulz I don't recall the software operation...do you need to create the conf file or is it already there? [12:28] corruptionoflulz I don't recall having to create it [12:28] install x ? then run system > administration > users and groups [12:28] SpookyET: so what does the restricted driver manager claim at the moment? [12:29] are you saying you are NOT there with the server abhi_ ? [12:29] abhi_: sudo permissions are assigned in the file /etc/sudoers [12:29] thank you kitofhawaii :) [12:29] kitofhawaii: ok how do i remove? what command? i just remove the names? [12:29] abhi_: remove the user from the admin group [12:30] jrib: command please :) [12:30] abhi_: usermod? [12:30] Anyone know where the firefox install folder is located ? i need it to install the new flash player [12:30] jrib: usermod? [12:30] abhi_: deluser USER GROUP or usermod, yes [12:31] firefox install folder? [12:31] any one know any command to remove previously stored commands on a shell ie. clear up the shell history? [12:31] TimeTraveller: install to ~/.mozilla/plugins/ . But why not use flash from the repositories? [12:31] TimeTraveller: ~/.mozilla... [12:31] abhi_: rm -rf ~ [12:31] abhi_: history -c [12:31] abhi_: you can also do it through system -> administration -> users and groups if you prefer gui [12:31] plz help, i get no video , it is all pink and grainy, sometimes sound though [12:31] abhi_: do not do what Sisco said. [12:31] jrib: they just released a new version, probably not in the repositories yet [12:31] Sisco: uhhhh. no. [12:31] lol [12:32] that's not funny, asshat. [12:32] was JK! [12:32] Sisco: don't ever do that here again [12:32] was bout to say it [12:32] jrib: i know :) thx :) [12:32] * riotkittie !languages herself. :| [12:32] Sisco: not funny [12:32] and you people say linux is secure.. [12:32] you wouldn't beable to corrupt the whole system with 1 command [12:32] if it was secure [12:32] lol [12:32] linux is only secure as the people using it. [12:32] Sisco: you cant [12:33] offtopic... [12:33] Sisco: you can mess up your user, but not the hole system [12:33] hi all... I found a bug in flashplugin-nonfree in gutsy. I wonder if anyone has experienced such thing... [12:33] jrib, you mean it is available in synaptic ? [12:33] arg pink and grainy video! [12:33] on ubuntu gusty i am using kismet, In kismet.conf i am confused what to replace on "none" source=ipw2100,eth1,none,6, i have dell latutude x300 notebook [12:33] Hey guys, how do i tell my eth0 interface to go up? the lamp is active on the NIC but ubuntu dosn't find it anymore (happned during the night) [12:33] TimeTraveller: the whole point of the repositories is that updates are taken care of for you automatically [12:34] it seems that Adobe has modified their flash installer [12:34] ifconfig finds the NIC but can't use it.. and the only thing the network config tool finds is the wireless [12:34] TimeTraveller: I have no idea if the most recent version is there, but it usually filters down eventually from -backports at least [12:35] well, yah if you give everyone root access you can screw up a system quick...but you can do that with pretty much any operating system. in any case, someone needs access to the box (one way or another) before they can screw it up [12:35] you can wipe out a cisco router in one command...if you have access...:) and yet we build the internet on them [12:35] kitofhawaii: whats the command [12:35] for cisco router [12:35] i installed flashplugin-nonfree [12:35] but its not comming up in firefox [12:36] I wonder if anyone can refer me to how to report it to the maintainer.... [12:36] and when i say to install missing plugins, it says it's already installed! :( [12:36] !launchpad | Xlylith [12:36] Xlylith: Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects.

[12:38] jrib: I found the new flash installer (from adobe) has some changes [12:38] linduxed_: yes [12:38] hey guys i need to use windows at work but sometimes would be useful if i could boot ubuntu on pendrive, is there a variant for this. i need to keep the usb flash thing on fat32 though so windows at work and linux (on my home machine) can both use it [12:38] linduxed_: but you should probably read wikipedia about it or something [12:38] jrib: no performace related stuff??? [12:38] jrib: there's no .xpt file anymore [12:38] wols_: that will shut it down, but how do i activate the cable-based connection? as of now i'm running on my neighbours wireless cause they have priority over the cable : / [12:38] Xlylith: there's a bug filed I believe [12:39] doxid: which network chip on the wired nic? [12:39] jrib: ill do that, but if there aint more things then ill screw this [12:39] linduxed_: yep, that is what I recommend [12:39] sisco; actually i don't even think you need the system-config part...:) [12:39] jrib: I search in launchpad, but found none similar [12:39] Past_Images: If you want a linux system on a pendrive, try using DSL or Puppy Linux. [12:39] wols_: should probobly add that my eth0 can't be found in the network manager but i do find it in ifconfig. don't know what chip it is.. it's built in :P [12:39] ok will try one of those instead thanks [12:39] laptop : ) [12:39] doxid: lspci |grep -i net [12:39] SpookyET: can you create another partition?

[12:40] riotkittie: I supposed I can install GParted and resize / [12:40] wols_: the eth0 cable one, the other one is a 802.11 nic [12:40] doxid: sudo ifup ethß [12:40] i just installed some other plugin via firefox [12:40] doxid: sudo ifup eth0 [12:41] now flash works, but the movies are all messed up [12:41] doxid: check with ifconfig if it has a IP then. if so tell me which one [12:41] wols_: ifup: interface eth0 already configured [12:41] Back in the day, linux installers were creating partitions for /home /var /usr, etc. Is there a decent guide for Ubuntu that shows you how to do that? What's the optimal size for each partition [12:41] wols_: ifconfig finds and have a IP for the nic. [12:41] doxid: which IP? [12:41] wols_: 213.114.10.98 [12:41] SpookyET: yea, i'd do that then cp -aRp /home to the new partition. then when you reinstall, select manual... find the new partition, tell installer to mount as /home ... uhhhhm.

[12:43] wols_: http://pastebin.com/d2c02f2f5 [12:43] Ziggy: Welcome!

[12:44] kitofhawaii: laptop [12:44] worked great last night [12:44] my networkmanager icon on the gnome panel is missing, but I'm connected to the internet. how can i fix that? [12:44] linux documetnation project does not tell you optimal partition sizes [12:44] doxid: do you have a switch on your laptop to disable wireless? [12:44] kitofhawaii: yepp and it's off.. and i'm still running on it :P [12:45] doxid: that is wrong. it clearly shows you you have a wired defaultroute [12:45] wols_: /wois me and check my ident and see if it has switched over yet. [12:46] linduxed_: nope, you would have to reinstall (backup /home). If you have /home on its own partition, it would be pretty smooth [12:46] I've got ubuntu studio setup on a laptop and I want to plug midi control into it. What would you guys recommend for a midi connection? It's not no game port so a standard midi cable is not an option. Would a USB Midi cable function okay? [12:46] doxid: cause you have two defaultroutes. don't assign the wireless a defaultroute [12:46] echosystm: yes, can you tell me the output of 'which firefox' [12:46] wols_: how do i not do that? seams to be working automaticly :P [12:47] /usr/bin/firefox [12:47] doxid: easiest is to use a static IP [12:47] jrib: you think all my settings will be saved if i backup /home or should i backup some of the /etc? [12:47] i'll see what i can come up with :) reboot :p [12:48] An update to libasound2 and libasound2-dev was done Somehow it appears the debian .deb version 1.0.15-2 was used and not the ubuntu package. Synaptic Package Manager won't allow me to re-install is there anyway to force this ? [12:48] linduxed_: if you know you have edited files in /etc/, then yes [12:48] echosystm: anything in ~/.mozilla/plugins/? [12:48] doxid: right click network manager, uncheck "enable wireless"...tried that?

I meant ' readlink -f /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so' [12:58] /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so [12:58] error mouse.. [12:59] echosystm: and 'ls -l /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so' [12:59] blackfox_: that is NOT the error. try again [12:59] it doesn't say "error mouse" it says something else [12:59] ls: /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so: No such file or directory [12:59] i'm trying to run no-ip, but it keeps saying it can't find the config file [13:00] corruptionoflulz: exact error. no paraphrasing [13:00] echosystm: ok. So I am guessing you installed flashplugin-nonfree recently and the installer is just broken [13:00] $ no-ip [13:00] Can't locate configuration file /etc/no-ip.conf. (Try -c). Ending! [13:00] just mouse "00e0 mouse es*u" [13:00] corruptionoflulz: can't you read? it exactly tells you which config file it wants [13:00] how is that fixed jrib? [13:01] echosystm: well, you can wait for an updated package to trickle down or you can install flash manually into ~/.mozilla/plugins/ [13:01] echosystm: i'd confirm whether flash it's there at all "ls -l /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so" [13:01] wols_: but then it still tells me that it can't locate it [13:01] sometimes the link doesn't happen [13:01] (for whatever reason) [13:01] <_Sisco> do I need like a IPv6 enabled router to run IPv6 on LAN?

[13:02] <_Sisco> oops my bad double paste [13:02] echosystm: grab the tar.gz from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P2_Platform=Linux [13:02] wols_: exists, and i used -C to create once [13:02] corruptionoflulz: it fscking doesn't exist. are you analphabetic? === _Sisco is now known as Sisco [13:02] it's possible my repository is not good [13:02] is no-ip using a chroot?

[13:03] wols_: permissions were all at root, then i changed it to my user hoping that would fix it [13:05] echosystm: it isn't your server, there is no update yet [13:05] i just removed the plugin [13:05] then tried reinstalling it [13:05] wols_: ok, i tried deleting the config file then making a new one with -C, but now i'm getting permission denied. [13:05] Download done. [13:05] md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz [13:05] The Flash plugin is NOT installed. [13:06] echosystm: yes, because the package is not updated [13:06] ok, so there is something wrong with the actual package itself [13:06] ? [13:06] sorry, im new to all this [13:07] you need to dumb it down a bit for me :P [13:07] corruptionoflulz: chmod a+r === is is now known as scaner [13:08] echosystm: basically, the package just grabs the tar.gz from adobe's server and installs it for you. But the package checks that the md5sum of the tar.gz is what it expects. So when adobe puts a new version out, you download the new one, but the md5sums do not match, so the package says, "oh, can't install this, something is wrong" [13:08] wols_: how what would i use to give write access too? [13:08] I have ubuntu installed, to install kubuntu I just sudo apt-get kubuntu desktop install?

[14:27] wols_: i have 2.6.22-14-generic, should i change this kernel? [14:28] untitled-laptop: No [14:28] untitled-laptop, I can't see how the contents of the harddrive can affect your warrenty [14:28] RoBz18: Thanks. [14:28] Ok :) [14:28] bubuntu, that depends on what machine you have, powerpc, x86, 64bit.32bit?? [14:28] untitled-laptop, but if you put it in for repair, you might get the drive wiped.. so backup [14:28] untitled-laptop: I had similar issue with my Gateway laptop, they told me if i wiped the Vista partition or the system recovery partition and just installed linux they would not honour the warrantee. But otherwise if the recovery partition and vista were still on it they would. [14:28] x86 [14:29] bubuntu: that kernel is fine then. [14:30] why cant i get hacking app's from add/remove [14:30] You can get some... [14:30] add/remove contains only common apps [14:31] Nothing much tough [14:31] well, mostly.

For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [14:31] though* [14:31] use aptitude or synaptic to access the APT repositories :P [14:31] but ssh and putty is not hacking its more like netmeeting or telnet [14:31] is a swap partition really needed [14:31] tntCry: what is "hacking" then? :P [14:31] dissident, that depends on how much ram you have?? [14:31] i want something like sub7 or something to hack the people around here for instance [14:32] meh [14:32] go away [14:32] 80 gb hd and 2gb ram [14:32] not destroy theyr lifes but give them nice ad's about my site and make some business , im a deedful person hard to find much of me [14:32] uhm :) i'd never expect this many people on one channel :) [14:32] you will still need swap. [14:32] tntCry: you won't get that from ubuntu. go awaay [14:32] tntCry: you're only allowed to try and crack people's machines when you actually have a clue about what you're doing [14:33] tntCry: you are a spammer. just name it like it is [14:33] when thinking in a negative way maybe wols_ [14:33] tntCry: a script kiddie using pre-made programs is the lowest form of life. [14:33] and what is best for linux primary or logical partition [14:33] tntCry: and if you crack other people's machines, the police will come and prosecute you [14:33] tntCry: and you're sounding like one [14:33] dissident: irrelevant [14:33] so it doesn't matter [14:33] but positively maybe i might gain 80,000$ from the whole world ? in 2months time :D [14:34] tntCry: no.

[14:38] ... get... mac address... from... ip... besides didn't i say stop [14:39] sorry LjL [14:39] mavi-: gateway should be set as the ip of the modem?

[14:39] jmazaredo: our smtp server won't [14:39] I just finished installing xubuntu on a really old laptop (600mhz, 60mb ram).

[14:42] mavi-: well, yesterday (after we installed ubuntu) i connected his laptop to my wireless router and all went fine. it seems kinda weird that it cannot connect through eth [14:42] void^: was that it? [14:42] mw-home: minimalistic browser [14:42] vrinek: can be that the wireless is set as the default route [14:43] mw-home: dillo ??

[15:12] i'd just like to push my "special dns" when the resolv.conf gets updated [15:12] Is anyone here familiar with the process of installing ubuntu onto a USB drive? [15:12] RIDDLE me this, O fans of Linux! What's the point of having a 'stable OS that no app can crash" if a K3B screwup requires me to reboot my computer in order to have my DVDRW drive not possessed and flashing any more? [15:13] (not a rhetorical question) [15:13] Can anyone help explain why i can ssh as root to domain.com but i can't ssh as a normal user? [15:13] JerekDain: I cant tell you what works on the ati but I can strongly suggest that you avoid installation scripts like automatix or envy. THey do things that you really dont want to have done and the odds are it still wont work [15:13] the connection just doesn't work [15:13] The_machine.. have you tried using any program to burn other than k3b? [15:13] DrJohnston: Maybe [15:13] DrJohnston: Maybe [15:14] yea - and k3b normally works. [15:14] RoBz18: pendrivelinux.com I think [15:14] dm - care to help? [15:14] but it didn't this time, and i don't really want to reboot my computer - but the drive is possessed. [15:14] again my question, do you have these issues only with k3b or when ever you attempt to burn [15:14] won't stop "burning" even though it isn't burning. [15:14] Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, having a problem with that [15:14] you cannot umount the drive, did you look to see what is possessing it? [15:15] my answer "yes, i have been able to burn successfully outside of k3b. And i haven't had a problem with k3b in the past, for the most part" [15:15] hmm [15:15] If you go here: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/ step 17, terminal just tells me that there is no such directory as media/ubuntu710 [15:15] ubernewb, k3b is possessing it. [15:15] let me try to unmount the drive. [15:15] pgrep k3b? [15:15] Drjohnston: You should be able to ssh into an Ubuntu box using a non-root user [15:15] pkill k3b [15:15] RoBz18: That is the site I used to create my 4 gig install. [15:15] akincer [15:15] I'm trying to SSH OUT to a remote box actually [15:15] what's the command to remove a directory please ? [15:15] Jack_Sparrow: Did you use 7.10? [15:15] ubernewb, it was killed already [15:15] Jack_Sparrow: np, if I run out of options I'll get my coworker to fix it. :P he's very good with linux systems, but he's not in until later, and I was hoping to get things up and running. At the least this 800x600 resolution on a decent widescreen monitor is driving me nuts. >_< [15:15] drive still flashing [15:15] I can do this as root, but as a normal user the conection won't work [15:15] wierd.... [15:16] did you look up the make and model of your burner? [15:16] DrJohnston, make sure you use this format #ssh remoteusername@IP.address.of.remote.machine [15:16] JerekDain: You should be able to set driver for vesa and get 1024 for now [15:16] @akincer: did you get my messages? [15:16] hi! does anyone know how I can reduce the trip point in the thermal zone of my laptop, so that it starts scaling down the cpu earlier? [15:16] ubernewb, it isn't the burner. i've had this happen on other linux distros and apps too. [15:16] DrJohnston: By default, ssh will attempt to use the envoking username on the remote machine [15:16] Hamlet: No [15:16] brb, tryingto figure out how to unmount this CD drive [15:16] anyone ? [15:17] is it sudo rm ? i forget [15:17] it's set as just standard vesa right now (it prompts on each gui boot). how can play with the settings without rebooting? [15:17] ok so you have only eliminated that it is not linux... not the burner [15:17] akincer - i am trying this format for both root and the user.... ssh root@domain.com [15:17] akincer: I send them as private messages [15:17] !remove directory [15:17] pretend that has Jack_Sparrow: at the begining :P [15:17] actually [15:17] or is it the burner and not linux [15:17] i have an idea [15:17] @akincer: anyway here they are again [15:17] ubernewb, it's linux related - it isn't a hardware problem. brb. [15:17] :) [15:18] does anyone have an idea? i need to reduce the trip point in the thermal zone of my laptop, so that it starts scaling down the cpu earlier? [15:18] @akincer: I have an Ubuntu-machine and a Linux set-top box both connected by a router using DHCP [15:18] Hamlet: If you aren't registered, I don't think you can send private messages [15:19] @akincer: sorry, I didn't know that [15:19] ok so my issue... how do i get my nameserver x.x.x.x to get repopulated in the resolv.conf when my modem pushes dns in my computer? [15:20] Hello. I want to normalize an mp3 audio file losslessly. Can you reccommend a (tiny cmd line) tool for this task? [15:20] i have extra nameservers not standard to my ISP [15:20] why does ubuntu's copying and pasting suck so much? [15:20] @akincer: the thing is, I cannot access my NFS shares (shared from the Ubuntu-machine) on the set-top box [15:21] JerekDain: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ... should let you add your max res without having to go through all of the config. [15:21] @akincer: do you have any idea why that is? [15:21] Hamlet: Not knowing specifics about the set-top box is a little limiting [15:21] hi [15:21] help please [15:21] corruptionoflulz: NOt a good way to open if you are here for help [15:21] what u need help with [15:21] @akincer: it's a Linux box [15:22] Jack_Sparrow: it was more like me thinking outloud, sorry. [15:22] @akincer: what specifics do you want to know? [15:22] DrJohnston: Are you sure there aren't some settings in the sshd_config on the remote machine that would prevent you from getting in with a non-root user? [15:23] Huh, just left [15:23] akincer: he's left 2 mins ago :-) [15:23] It's "just" from my POV :) [15:23] @akincer: look here http://www.dream-multimedia-tv.de/english/products_dm7025_technical.php [15:24] Jack_Sparrow: tried what you said, i chose vesa, and it didn't do a lot... do i need to restart something? it also said "FATAL: Error inserting battery" [15:24] Hamlet: What error messages are you getting on your set top box? Are you seeing anything in your logs on your Ubuntu Machine? [15:24] @akincer: no errors, just no share found [15:25] @akincer: what logs? where ? [15:25] For example /var/log/auth.log [15:25] Hamlet: But you aren't getting that far [15:26] @akincer: how do you mean?

[15:26] ive created a virtualfs on a file in my ubuntu partition now im wondering if there is a better way to mount it at boot and do the losetup than editing skeleton file in init.d [15:27] @akincer: ok I'll have a look at it [15:27] Hi. I'm wondering if I have two ubuntu computers on my LAN, is there an easy way to use one as basically nothing more than a display for the other? Meaning, can I somehow login to a desktop session on the "remote" machine (still on my LAN) using the other machine? [15:27] JerekDain: only a guess, but I would think your refresh rates for your monitor are not in your xorg [15:27] folks can I have some help with this error: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3856124#post3856124 [15:28] JerekDain: have you tried dropping back on the color depth...16 perhaps [15:28] Hamlet: There is likely some setting somewhere that just doesn't match up. Follow the instructions there and you should be ok [15:28] unperson, simple way.. ssh -Y otherbox, and run your apps. [15:28] I know about using ssh and X forwarding to login to a remote machine and use remote applications, but I don't know if it's possible to have basically a whole remote desktop session. [15:28] unperson, a little harder way. enable/use the XDMCP feature of X. [15:28] Jack_Sparrow: Did you install 7.10 onto your USB? [15:28] RoBz18: yes. [15:28] unperson, if you want the whole desktop. kde/gnome has a vnc desktop sharing feature (but it can be a bit slow) [15:29] @akincer: ok, thank you :-) [15:29] Jack_Sparrow: where do i change color depth? i don't see anything for it [15:29] Dr_willis, Right, I know about ssh and X forwarding, but that's not quite what I'm after. I'm looking to make it basically so that one you're logged in you're working on the remote machine completely with no sign that it's not the local machine. [15:29] RoBz18: you may have a wrong drive designation sd"x" in that list of commands [15:29] Dr_willis, I see. Thanks. [15:29] unperson, you just described 'xdmcp' :) [15:30] which is the latest kernel ? [15:30] unperson, in the sessions menus for kdm/gnome theres a Search for hosts, or query hosts, type feature that can be enabled. [15:30] JerekDain: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and look for default depth.. sorry if I am a bit out of it this am.. trying to get things done and run to work... [15:30] unperson, however that can get a big laggy if you start doing copying big files over the network. [15:30] Jack_Sparrow: When I type this: cp -rf casper disctree dists install pics pool preseed .disk isolinux/* md5sum.txt README.diskdefines ubuntu.ico casper/vmlinuz casper/initrd.gz /media/ubuntu710/ , it says media/ubuntu710 is not a directory, ever get that problem? [15:31] no [15:31] unperson, the 'vncserver' method would let you have a presistant desktop on eht remove machine [15:31] Should I just make the directory? [15:31] Dr_willis, Ok, cool. I thought XDMCP might be what I was looking for, but I wasn't sure. Most of the descriptions of it I've seen talk about the technical details rather than giving a concise description of what it does. [15:31] I want to add a custom session to the list of sessions in gdm - how do I do that? [15:32] unperson, using xdmcp and 'xming' in my windows machiens to get a X desktop on them. :) [15:32] RoBz18: if you dont get it by the time I get back I will bring it up again and try to see where it is going wrong [15:32] Ok thanks. [15:33] Dr_willis, I don't understand the comment about copying large files. I was thinking that all operations (say moving files) would be performed on the remote machine. Or are you just talking about display information? [15:33] yey [15:34] <_nix_> hello everyone.. anyone running bittorrent here? [15:34] hello, need some help with /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf anybody know how to push a nameserver to resolv.conf when ever you get a new ip pushed? [15:34] _nix_: nope... [15:34] :P [15:35] guys need some help with AWN.. here or some other channel? [15:35] ubernewb: require line in there [15:35] require... [15:35] Jack_Sparrow: default depth is 24. and no problem, thanks a lot for the help. :) [15:35] unperson, if a lot of network traffic happens it can lag your display. [15:36] ubernewb: eg: require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers; [15:36] unperson, the normal use for xdmcp is to let a few dozen+ thin clients have a 'server' they all are using., [15:36] <_nix_> ubernewb: append the following line: prepend domain-name-servers [15:36] !awn [15:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about awn - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [15:36] hello [15:36] <_nix_> ubernewb: that's it [15:36] ubernewb: Under the "request" stanza [15:36] guys, can AWN be placed at the sides of the screen instead of the bottom? [15:37] ok, so there is a request and require [15:37] so what allows me to change gutsy's compiz theme? [15:37] <_nix_> anyone running bittorrent here? [15:37] yes [15:38] ubernewb: Yes, "require" should be under the "request" one [15:38] s_spiff, i found awnt i be very lacking in a lot of ways. :( [15:38] _nix_: client? [15:38] profanephobia, emerald theme manager [15:38] <_nix_> Ktorrent [15:38] <_nix_> MasterShrek: w/ DHT enabled? [15:38] _nix_: i use deluge-torrent what is the actual problem? [15:38] erUSUL, whats the difference between a bittorrent client and server? =P [15:38] Dr_willis, is there any other substitute? kiba dock is there, I'm just about to install it [15:38] _nix_, not usually [15:39] <_nix_> erUSUL: no problem.. just interested in DHT table exchange.. [15:39] MasterShrek: well i asked becouse i've never created a torrent or hosted a tracker [15:39] s_spiff, no idea. I dont care for the OS-X wannabes or OS-X for that matter. :) give me a nice normal panel. [15:39] what would I have done to make compiz-fusion stop working on gutsy [15:39] MasterShrek: that's what a "server" would do i guess [15:39] Hi folks [15:39] haven't really dome anything except updates [15:39] erUSUL, i spose, but i dont really see the difference, once you start a torrent you are a client and a server [15:39] and ok, so #require domain-name-servers and in the line that says prepend domain-name-servers put my "special nameserver"? [15:39] MasterShrek: true [15:40] Dr_willis, lol. sorry I asked. anyone else here can help out? [15:40] Dr_willis, I see. Well in my case it would just be 1 computer, so that won't be an issue. [15:40] Dr_willis, Thanks for you help. I'm going to give it a try. [15:40] those floodbots annoy me [15:40] question: If I install ubuntu 6.06.1 server on my desktop pc, and after installation I install xubuntu-desktop; how long do I get security updates? [15:41] you probably annoy them, don't worry [15:41] I've got ubuntu studio setup on a laptop and I want to plug midi control into Would a USB Midi cable work okay with ubuntu? [15:41] unperson, i just got it set with a 2 pc setup. :) but wheni go copying some iso files from the basement to up here (for me to burn) it can lag my display a little. [15:41] the server install get's 5 years; but do the packages in xubuntu-desktop get them? I guess not? [15:41] MasterShrek: yeah me too... but they are not going away anytime soon afaics [15:41] jens, however long 6.06 is supported, a couple more years i spose [15:41] i have Ubuntu 7.10... i have just bought an MP3 player... when i plug the device in my USB slot, nothing happens... i've got an installation CD with the MP3 player's software to transfer music and stuff on it but this installation only work on a Windows operating system... is there any way i can transfer music to my MP3 player on Ubuntu? [15:41] MasterShrek, do you know the package name? [15:41] jens: maybe till the next LTS comes out? [15:41] yea i know erUSUL, stupid script kiddies thinkin they are cool shit flooding the ubuntu channel [15:42] !ohmy | MasterShrek [15:42] profanephobia, for what? [15:42] like when I try to change emerald themes they do not change [15:42] rockprincess, the question is; I know the server version get's 5year's of updates; but what if I install xubuntu-desktop on my server? [15:42] yea yea i know AndrewB, i felt it would more accentuate my anger about it [15:42] hi all, I have a 1GB flash drive but only 379Mb is available on a partition... the rest of the space is hidden.. Is there a way I can get 1 GB available? [15:42] i have this MP3 player: http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Item(1940)-SDMX4-4096-A70-Sansa_e260_MP3_Player_4GB.aspx [15:42] MasterShrek: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [15:42] ;) [15:42] =P [15:42] tried compiz --replace [15:42] nd [15:42] please help [15:43] profanephobia, oh, emerald...umm i dunno, search synaptic for emerald [15:43] matozoid: will need to parition it with an application like fdisk or cfdisk or take a look at gui app called gparted [15:43] there's no Linux installation software for my MP3 player so i'm kinda stuck [15:43] ubernewb: Please put my name in a message when it is for me, otherwise I miss it :) [15:44] AndrewB: tried to use the 3 of em, put could not clear the partition table [15:44] xactly: does it not show up as a usb device? [15:44] matozoid: did you run them as root? [15:44] AndrewB, no [15:44] xactly, what kind of software do you need? mostly i just mount the mp3 player and move files to it (make sure you unmount it before you unplug it) [15:44] xactly: is it no recognized as a standar usb-storage device? [15:44] AndrewB: sudo, yes [15:44] jens: i'm not sure, but i think it shouldn't matter whether you install the xubuntu desktop or not....the security updates will be probably available no matter if you're using XFCE4 or Gnome or KDE?? [15:44] actually it is not recognised at all [15:44] matozoid: what error? [15:44] xactly, lsusb doesnt list it? [15:44] I am having some issues with SARG (squid reports) after an upgrade to SARG 2.1 - is there a known issue with this? [15:44] when i plugged it in, it started to charge the battery [15:45] dmesg doesnt say anything about it when you plug it in? [15:45] that is all [15:45] akincer: this documentationis for another OS [15:45] Ubuntu did not recognise a plugged in device [15:45] does anyone know of an alternative (same tech.) to DSPAM? [15:45] I know this is a pretty unusual question, but can I install Gutsy using my Feisty CD? [15:45] xactly, type dmesg after you plug it in [15:45] xactly: ? do 'tail -f /var/log/messages' while you plug it and check the msgs posted [15:45] xactly, what brand is it? [15:45] ubernewb: If you currently have a # in front of the "require" line it will not take effect. If you want to specify a nameserver the prepend, yes [15:45] AndrewB: no error [15:45] okay, seriously, php5-cli gets updated, and it STILL doesn't have readline() support? How do I get readline() support in php5 in Ubuntu? [15:46] Hamlet, this brand: http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Item(1940)-SDMX4-4096-A70-Sansa_e260_MP3_Player_4GB.aspx [15:46] ah [15:46] Lunks, you can install feisty and then upgrade to gutsy [15:46] Lunks, you couldinstall then upgrade.. but it would be faster to just grab a gusty cd. [15:46] hello all [15:46] AndrewB: the partition shows up as 379Mb on gparted [15:46] Lunks, better off downloading a gutsy cd tho [15:46] rockprincess, why is there a difference between the lenght of support for ubuntu server and xubuntu f.ex? They use the same repositories don't they? [15:46] Lunks, yes you can install Feisty and then upgrade to Gutsy if the computer is connected to the internet [15:46] Sansa E260 [15:46] matozoid: did you delete it then make a new one of 1G? [15:46] But I dont have a spare CD to burn Gutsy ISO. [15:46] Lunks: install feisty and then upgrade ? [15:46] so if server get's updates; so does xubuntu? [15:46] hmm [15:46] I'd like to install it directly [15:46] strange [15:47] I've tried unetbootin, but its freezin [15:47] can anyone help me ? [15:47] any proposals? [15:47] thats not busy....

[16:03] ubuntu is good for hacking [16:03] in a VM [16:03] then i can just do a DoD compliant erase of the VM hard drive [16:03] and wha la [16:03] no evidence [16:03] LOL [16:03] MasterShrek, should it be set to 'MSC'? [16:04] xactly, what kind of mp3 and what are you trying to do with it?

[16:05] xactly, not sure the difference, definately worth a try, though [16:05] hume, what do you mean by a 'brand' of the mp3? [16:05] please be more specific [16:06] lol hello [16:06] iPod? Iriver?

[16:09] you should set it to MSC, then it functions as a usb mass storage device [16:09] http://flickr.com/photos/mofle/2088197145/ [16:09] i'll try that [16:09] xactly: what are the usb types available? [16:09] xactly: i have a sansa e250 (should be same as yours with 2gb instead of 4). works just fine. [16:10] xactly, and turns up on your desktop or in you file manager automatically, if you run gnome or kde [16:10] xactly, try changing that usb mode thing, i bet it works [16:10] xactly, http://www.expansys-kr.com/ft.aspx?k=89037 this suggests connecting in MSC mode (not ubuntu specific though) [16:10] void^, do you have the USB Mode on the player set to MSC or MSP? [16:10] xactly, MTP is Media Transfer protocol, not soo well supported in linux [16:10] hume, aha! [16:10] xactly you should set it to MSC [16:10] hume, thanks [16:10] np [16:10] thanks a lot [16:10] Amarok probably supports it, though. ?P [16:10] :P [16:11] Lunks, well..... suppport or "should support"? [16:11] xactly: both work. it's simpler to use msc, you can just move and delete files on it. if you use mtp you need to use extra software to transfer files, music players like amarok support it. [16:11] Lunks, does not support my iriver on msc.... [16:11] ok i think i mounted my other partitions but i dont know how i can view the files on them how do i do that? [16:12] void^, is the Rhythmbox sufficient for synchronising my mp3 player? [16:12] can someone please tell me how to dual boot with two hdd xp and linux [16:12] do i need some other software? [16:12] is there a way to virtually "merge" the contents of two folders into one without copying or creating tons of softlinks? [16:12] cause part magic and boot magic won't work [16:12] xactly: no idea, never used it. if it supports mtp it should work as well. [16:12] can i do this all in linux [16:13] how do i view my other partitions that i think i mounted... key word being think.??? [16:13] like in the install menu [16:13] Anyone using hamachi with ubuntu? I need help. [16:13] hume: Should support, never used it with any MP3 players. I'd rather transfer files myself. [16:13] syndr0, with df they should be listed [16:13] df? [16:13] Lunks, same here.. [16:14] syndr0, df -h shows size, type it in a console [16:14] syndr0, of all mounted partitions on the machine [16:14] void^, i have bought a 1 Gig microSD memory card [16:14] ok [16:14] i see its not mounted then [16:15] void^, how do you transfer music to that memory card? [16:15] is there a Network Manager Applet for AWN? [16:15] xactly: might need to use msc mode to access it, should show up as an extra partition i think.. but not sure, i don't have any microsd cards [16:15] void^, is that done automatically after the players own space is consumed? [16:15] xactly, dont know about syncing, I transfer via the file manager or with amarok music player [16:15] hume, would you mine running me through this for some reason im retarded === _etotheip is now known as etotheipi [16:16] syndr0, join the club of us retarded...:) you trying to mount what?

[17:34] Squirrely_Wrath: it can probabrly be helped, just that the person who could help you presumably isn't here right now [17:34] Squirrely_Wrath, i would say check the ati/linux forums and see if anyoht else has had simielr issues [17:34] Dr_willis, tbh i dont really think its what I'm looking for - i need to edit the live cd iso by installing and removing packages - also it segfaulted [17:34] sharperguy, i never used it. i dont even use my ppc machine any more. :) [17:34] What's the forum location? [17:34] Squirrely_Wrath, i would say hit google first. [17:34] Dr_willis, Also i don't care if its complicated - ie involving manual extraction and chroot/apt-geting etc [17:35] im not sure ubuntu has a specific forum for those things. [17:35] sharperguy, Ya can extraxt the iso. but i dont know about puttig it all back together. :) plus ppc adds another layer of complications [17:35] * Strangelv_ has always used the old school "alternate" install discs -- he knows how to use them better and hasn't consistently run into show-stopping issues [17:35] K.

[17:36] sharperguy, no idea there. :) but they are all usign the iso9660 filesystem. so it may work.

Me either. Ive never edited a live cd. other then to remaster them with various tools. [17:38] TheEagle, disable the framebuffer for a start. [17:38] TheEagle, assuming its a framebuffer issue. [17:39] Dr_willis: i am new to ubuntu, so if you can, please can you explain what that means? thanks [17:39] TheEagle, in the /boot/grub/menu.lst the line looks like # defoptions=quiet nosplash nofb [17:39] [17:39] Dr_willis: ill just check [17:39] the nofb option disalbes the framebuffer. edit the file. set that line, rerun 'sudo update-grub' and reboot and see. [17:39] * Strangelv re-asks, "What can provide dynamic gamma and color adjustments and how do I disable it? Alternately, what keywords might point me to a useful direction with a search engine?" [17:40] OR at the grub menu. hit 'e' and edit the kernel= line and append 'nofb' to the end. [17:41] Dr_willis: nofb is not there so do i add it? [17:41] TheEagle, if you want to disable it yes... :) [17:42] Dr_willis: what is the difference between having it on and off? [17:42] nofb is the option to disable the framebuffer. the nosplash option disables the splash screen so you can see error messages [17:42] TheEagle, One turns off the framebuffer.. one turns it on. :) [17:42] hi [17:42] The framebuffer enables fancy gfx modes on the console. [17:43] Dr_willis: what is the frambuffer [17:43] ok [17:43] hi [17:43] * Strangelv jots down notes on nosplash [17:43] i m new to irc [17:43] can ne 1 help me with this thing [17:43] does anyone know if I can access the directories mounted under nautilus (SSH server), from console ?

[17:43] *on ubuntu [17:43] Dr_willis: if i turn it off, are my ttys likely to come back?

[17:47] sharperguy, i do recall there being a PPC ubuntu specific forum on the messge bords. [17:47] Ax-Ax, because they can. :) and can get away withit.

[17:47] microsoft registered a patent on sudo? === xp_gone is now known as xp_prg [17:48] when the hell did that happen? [17:48] 2000 i think [17:48] O.o [17:48] sudo patent sude [17:48] Dr_willis: Maybe something I should add to the list I have -- I've just not been motivated enough to find out how. Generally a high priority has been disabling counterproductive touchpad features. Previously ensuring keyboard layout support was critical, but has always been shockingly easy with Kubunt [17:48] sudo patent sudo* there all better [17:48] I don't getiit [17:49] ciao zäme === DRPP is now known as D_ReaL_PuNiShEr [17:49] * Strangelv prefers to have a root console open anyway -- retypping his >10 digit password every time he needed to do something was too annoying [17:50] Can someone please tell me how to connect to a remote mysqlserver?

So, I went to Synaptic, uninstalled, and then reinstalled. It still doesn't work. Any ideas? [17:50] hello [17:50] Dr_willis: thanks alot! great work [17:50] * Strangelv wonders if he's the only person here boycotting Adobe -- if he is' someone should be able to help T1m0thy [17:51] does Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 2600PRO, 512MB, AGP have a 3D driver that supports compiz ?

It's setup as * * * * * root /etc/scripts/screenit.sh using crontab -e, and by editting /etc/crontab but it never seems to run the script. Any ideas? [18:32] Cyrus25801: if you requested it in shipit.ubuntu.com then *it* *is* the livecd [18:32] hello [18:32] T1m0thy: Should work - but with Ubuntu from what I can remember at times you need to manually place the flash plugin in /lib/mozilla or something. [18:32] netdefiler, chmod +x ? [18:33] *sometimes* it usually works right from install :| [18:33] rockboxftw: I loaded YouTube, went through the wizard, installed Adobe Flash. Restarted Firefox, wouldn't load. Then tried with Synaptic, etc. [18:33] T1m0thy: No no.. [18:33] umm did you install the "non-free" verison? [18:33] rambo3: it's 777'd [18:33] hi. I'm having some troubles with installing mysql. after install I can't connect to it. normally there is a root user with no password. [18:33] but not +x [18:33] rockboxftw: Yes. [18:33] T1m0thy: You must install it manually or from Synaptic the 'firefox' install is not good in Ubuntu i've found [18:33] did you try da other one? [18:33] hello! [18:33] ok [18:34] Which? Gnash? [18:34] http://i8.tinypic.com/6ljyv49.png [18:34] Because usually your running X as a user and the install ... is better done as sudo/root [18:34] b0lland: ind /lib | sed 's:.*/\([^/]*\)/.*:\1:' | sort | uniq -c [18:34] b0lland: find /lib | sed 's:.*/\([^/]*\)/.*:\1:' | sort | uniq -c [18:34] b0lland: Ain't that simple and intuitive :P [18:34] suva haha [18:34] Suva thanks a lot [18:34] does anyone know how to recover a file from a harddrive that isn't mountable? (the start of the harddrive is fubar)? [18:34] http://i8.tinypic.com/6ljyv49.png <-- All I get when I click on the button. There are many wireless networks here [18:34] Anyone ever set up pykota? I guess you can't use the SVN version right? When I run the setup script it says it's broken [18:34] dlocaus u can't:p [18:34] waiy, [18:34] T1m0thy: google.com --- install flash player, download the linux version (the page should automatically link you to it) follow adobe's instructions - should work like a charm after 'ldconfig' as root. [18:34] try slaving it [18:35] rockboxftw: slaving it? [18:35] I am still waiting some reply or issue [18:35] Thurin1: Thanks. [18:35] uugh umm you have to add it to you hdd cables [18:35] anyone used a network install and a preseed file with apt-cacher? [18:35] and set jumpers to slave [18:35] i keep getting told the specified mirror is not available or does not have a valid release file on it [18:35] can someone help me with opengl [18:35] rockboxftw: that is already been done. [18:35] T1m0thy: Yup, and don't forget to 'sudo ldconfig' whne you are done installing it as adobe instructs. [18:35] nvidia [18:35] hmmp is it being read? [18:35] rockboxftw: the problem is that the "other" linux system refuses to mount it. [18:36] or else your libraries may not get updated and flash... sometimes will stay inactive ;) [18:36] is the harddrive from a difrent pc? [18:36] rockboxftw: sometimes the bios recongizes the harddisk as actually existing, but other times, it won't see it. [18:36] rockboxftw: the HD is in a different PC now. [18:36] becauseall operating system other then dos, 95,98 are non trasnferable thru boxes [18:36] rambo3: chmod +x didnt work [18:36] dlocaus: Your bios refuses to see the disk sometimes? [18:36] Thurin1: yes. [18:36] dlocaus: I'd start backing up - sounds to me like a drive on the way out. [18:36] Anyone have the problem of Google earth hangning at the splash screen? [18:36] can someone help me set up opengl on LTS [18:36] hi [18:36] fox === ogra1 is now known as ogra [18:37] T1m0thy, http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash that's the version you need by the way [18:37] Thurin1: a bit passed that point... :), I can't even boot or mount it. [18:37] is it the game error when u launch it? [18:37] fox88: You want mesa yeah [18:37] is there a util that does about the same as ls /etc/rcX.d? [18:37] open in terminal [18:37] I CANT GET IT AT ALL [18:37] dlocaus: :| Oh noes! :| [18:37] no caps [18:37] I'd like to recursively scan a directory and print out all the files that have a specific character like é è and so on... [18:37] glxgears gives this [18:37] +set r_allowSoftwareGL 1 [18:37] similar to gentoos rc-config show [18:37] I have put a bin file in /opt and put a link to it in /usr/local/bin - I thought that's all I needed to do to make it run from the command line - What else should I do? [18:37] Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [18:37] Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual [18:37] in my loop echo $i | grep é doesn't work [18:37] where does the cron log file live? [18:37] wow it's weird seeing another fox from the 80's :P [18:37] justine_: ls -R | grep ??? [18:38] dlocaus: Hrmm, you know what you should do? last ditch effort? - try to 'mount' it .. in Windows with the EXT3 driver... you might be able to save .. some data maybe [18:38] luls [18:38] Thurin1: Is there some program that will read the harddisk in block mode and try and figure ou the OS from there? [18:38] Thurin1: sorry, figure out the files from there? [18:38] dlocaus: Yes and no.. there is yes, but they are highly experimental and .. could damage whatever data you have on the disk [18:38] robeph, i am doing for i in $( ls -R ); do echo $i | grep é done and it doesn't work [18:38] Thurin1: I hadn't thought of that, I'll check around for windows EXT3 driver [18:39] suva: thanks for the effort but it doesn't seem to get the count right for some reason [18:39] netdefiler, ok you should ask again, maby somone else knows [18:39] dlocaus: Well there is a drive for windows which allows the mounting of EXT3 disks - since windows has so much less 'requirements' for a 'good' disk - you may be able to see inside it and save what you need from it. [18:39] justine_: why all that? [18:39] please help me how to restore my ubuntu? [18:39] doesn't just ls -R | grep X work? [18:39] Hello. When I was installing ubuntu gutsy, I choosed option to do not install GRUB. How I can install it now with ubuntu-auto configuration it? [18:39] i'll try robeph [18:39] b0lland: Haha, okay, let me check [18:40] Thurin1: do you know of any programs that will look at a harddisk as a device to read, instead of a storage mechanisem to mount? [18:40] dlocaus: ;) yeah give it a shot.. windows like I said is not as strict as what is a 'good' or 'bad' disk - but if EXT3 driver and windows can't do it .. i'm afraid your disk is beyond hope.. unless you go to a real pro at data recovery I guess [18:40] dlocaus: you trying to just read the contents? [18:40] dlocaus: Heh.. windows [18:40] robeph: I just need 1 file from that harddisk... [18:40] yes it works robeph, thanks. Any way to have the absolute pathway printed out instaed of just the filename? [18:40] robeph: I was smart enough to back it up, just not to a different system. [18:40] is安逸body [18:40] dlocaus: eh, well see, you're misisng what mounting does [18:40] it doesn't just "mount the disk" [18:41] is any body here? [18:41] it mounts the disk and supplies the correct method for access that block devices specific filesystem [18:41] ie ext2 / 3 reiser ntfs etc [18:41] In windows I used the EXT3 driver to salvage data from an old IBM 175MB disk which Linux would not mount with kernel panics and god knows what else. [18:41] gaoyang, Just us Linux Nerds :) [18:41] I've been having problems with getting a script to run every minute. It's setup as * * * * * root /etc/scripts/screenit.sh using crontab -e, and by editting /etc/crontab but it never seems to run the script. Any ideas? [18:41] if you just read it right out, you're gonna get a mess [18:41] you really cannot get any simpler than just mounting it, [18:41] afaik [18:42] What do I have to do to make a binary run from the command line by just typing it's name? [18:42] Back ups are always best on removable media dlocaus ;) keep that in mind.. get some CD-RWS and get used to it haha [18:42] robeph: humm, I was hoping that a recovery program would be able to find information on the device.. since linux is self-defragmenting, it could do it w/o the superblock. [18:42] Jimmey: put it in your path [18:42] Jimmey, ./whateverthethingis [18:42] what's the best way to turn an ubuntu desktop with gnome installed into a headless server? [18:42] Dr_willis.... [18:42] dlocaus: is the fs busted? [18:42] Jimmey, assuming its excecutable. [18:42] dlocaus: Linux is picky you see [18:42] b0lland: Sure, i was stupid :P [18:42] robeph: I believe so. [18:42] dlocaus: it's a screwed up file system on there? [18:42] hee [18:42] robeph: it is a bit hard to find out. [18:42] I'm looking to get a new laptop, and I want the wireless and video to work amazingly well out of the box w/ Ubuntu Gutsy -- any recommendations? [18:42] robeph, Dr_willis, it's in /opt/ with a link to it in /usr/local/bin/ [18:42] samgranieri, install the services.. remove the monitor. :) [18:42] suva: oh yeah? [18:42] robeph: I can't find out. I can't mount it. [18:43] Jimmey: is it set as executable [18:43] b0lland: Actually it's even simpler :P [18:43] Windows is not picky.. you can have bad errors and totally skip disk checks :) not so in Linux for the most part [18:43] dlocaus: why not? [18:43] AngryElf, you can buy a computer with Ubuntu on it from Dell [18:43] suva you're such a tease [18:43] dlocaus: I mean there's a ton of reasons you couldn't mount tihngs [18:43] Jimmey, try giving the full path to the binary [18:43] robeph: when I try and boot from it, logical sectors 0-7 are bad, and then nothing happens. [18:43] b0lland: It's simplest in ruby though ;D [18:43] robeph, I've chmod + x it [18:43] dlocaus: boot from livecd and try mounting it? [18:43] Dr_willis, what do you mean? [18:43] AngryElf: Yeah, go search the net for Laptops which are known to work well with Ubuntu ;D [18:43] Dr_willis: i'm trying to remove X and everything that depends on it, so that I can just ssh into the box [18:43] Jimmey, /whatever/the/path/to/the/darn/thing/command [18:43] Jimmey: /usr/local/bin/ [18:43] AngryElf: I'd stay away from the Sony's though... [18:43] there are so many guys [18:43] my kopete icon doesnt go to the tray anymore..just a miniwindow instead [18:43] Suva: pretty please with sugar on top? [18:44] make sure that your path route is actually pointing to the correct bin [18:44] I've tried mounting it a "recovery" concel that came w/ 7.10 [18:44] but it just gave me invalid argument. [18:44] [Gutsy, Gnome] Panel menu System > Beenden opens a dialog having 8 buttons. Where is the information, what programs are executed if I press a button of them? [18:44] linduxed: Have you checked your options in Kopete? [18:44] dlocaus: hrm, i dunno really tbh =( [18:44] Dr_willis, robeph, right, but it would be nice if I could just type the name of the binary into the terminal, in this case mobmc, and have it run - How can I do that? [18:44] samgranieri, an ISSUE can be if the hd has an probllem. the boot up messages will mention the disk scanning, and request input. You may want to keep a cheap/small monitor on it. or handy. [18:44] hello, i have an problem.. [18:44] robeph: ok, well thank you! [18:44] Thurin1: well everything was right before reboot [18:44] Jimmey, check your PATH $PATH, it may be your pathis just messed up [18:44] the HD is fine [18:45] Jimmey, make an alias 4 it in bash.rc [18:45] Thurin1: thank you too, but I've gone to USB thumb drives, those 1G SD cards are really cheap now... :) [18:45] the flashplugin-nonfree cannot be installed [18:45] linduxed: You should still check your options, if that is not the problem.. easiest - synaptic, remove - re-install and see what happens. [18:45] Thurin1: oh and i get a "cannot talk to klauncher message" [18:45] i get The Flash plugin is NOT installed [18:45] samgranieri, it is RIGHT NOW.. but what about next week.. when you are somewhere else and cant ssh in. because it rebooted and is waiting for you to hit ctrl-d to continue.. [18:45] dlocaus: This is true this is true - but I still dont trust them lol haha. -- Personal taste :P [18:45] Dr_willis, robeph, thanks [18:45] only I ssh into the box for now [18:45] is there an ubuntu utility that works similar to the gentoo: rc-config show [18:46] (shows the runlevel / init script states etc) [18:46] linduxed: Ahh... well just 'run' - klauncher [18:46] Dr_willis: and someone else has acess to the box, and knows how to use ssh [18:46] Thurin1: I don't trust them either, I've heard of lots of failures. However, I doubt they will both fail at the same time. [18:46] samgranieri, Ive seen it happen to others in here. They got stuck couldent ssh in. [18:46] dlocaus: I sure hope not... :| [18:46] Hi guys...I could do with some help...I've just rebooted my machine to discover that all my shared folders have disappeared....there is no indication of them in 'places' etc....but I dont know what caused this? [18:46] Installing ubuntu to a USB stick, I use this command: cp -rf casper disctree dists install pics pool preseed .disk isolinux/* md5sum.txt README.diskdefines ubuntu.ico casper/vmlinuz casper/initrd.gz /media/ubuntu710/ [18:46] But I just get that there is no such file or directory [18:46] Any ideas what the problem could be? [18:46] Dr_willis: i have console access. this is in my office [18:46] samgranieri, so do whatever you want. I advice keepiong a spare monitor handy just in case. [18:46] hi i am using xubuntu and my mesa/opengl isnt working [18:46] Dr_willis: there's a monitor connected to the server anyway. i'm fine [18:46] * Dr_willis frogot the original question. :) [18:47] what is proc? [18:47] my external HD is /media/extHD/ is that classified as being mounted? [18:47] Dr_willis: i'm taking a linux desktop with gnome and x installed down to a headless server [18:47] but i dont know what todo, my graphiccard is intel gma950 [18:47] samgranieri, 'headless' = no monitor. so you just sort of contridicted yourself. [18:47] please any private help to restore my defected ubuntu [18:47] remove X if youy want. or just dont start the gdm/kdm service. [18:48] hello eveyone [18:48] ah... i thought headless meant no-x [18:48] umm question [18:48] samgranieri, :) [18:48] Hi guys...I could do with some help...I've just rebooted my machine to discover that all my shared folders have disappeared....there is no indication of them in 'places' etc....but I dont know what caused this? [18:48] can anyone help? [18:48] why even bother removing X. [18:48] its not taking up that much space. and ya could alweays set up xdmcp on the thing later if needed. [18:48] Is it useful being able to program in c or c++ in linux? [18:49] Dr_willis: I have no X.. [18:49] :| [18:49] X annoys me... [18:49] mikebeecham, were u using windows? [18:49] Thurin1, I got Enough X for 3 of us. :) XxX. [18:49] very [18:49] Dr_willis: haha [18:49] python more so in ubuntu [18:49] ashkore: yes, it is [18:49] * Dr_willis installs W on Thurin1 's box. [18:49] or was it called Y. [18:49] mikebeecham, are the directories still there physically? just cus they are gone from places doesn't mean they are necassarily gone [18:49] Much better ;D [18:49] Presidential edition [18:49] hehe [18:49] samgranieri: ok thanks, how do you recomend i do this? [18:49] C and c++ as I know it are the most widely use programs [18:50] ItchyHobo: no...I've been on Linux for about a week or so...everything was fine this morning...all my shares were there. I come home, add some lines to my menu.lst...reboot, and now they are not there [18:50] ashkore: i'd use gcc [18:50] I recall some guy making a alterantive to X, but that was years ago. [18:50] samgranieri: i mean, which tutorial would you recommend? [18:50] ashkore: google around for an introductory class or webpage for how to use gcc for c [18:50] bluefox83: all references to the shared folders are gone, with the exception of 'shared folders'. The path is still there, but tells me it is inaccessible [18:50] mikebeecham, try sudo mount -a [18:50] ashkore: i dont know [18:50] Dr_willis: I've heard of people making alternatives to flash as well which I really hope happens. [18:51] anyone know why ubuntu 7.10 no longer has a splash at bootup and why it take longer to load all I get is a bage screen ?..... [18:51] mikebeecham, samba shared or nfs? [18:51] samgraneri: are there any tutorials about learning linux? [18:51] hello all, is /media/extHD a mount point? [18:51] * Ereal1 is this just me?! [18:51] thats a good point bluefox83 my mounted drives are not visible on my desktop [18:51] bluefox83: samba [18:51] Dr_willis: Well there is one alternative to X that actually works.. but it's not the best ever since compatibility is quite low.. for anything besides the included apps - I forget the name but its on the xwinman or.. winman site [18:51] because i am only 15 and have only just started using it after 10 years of windows [18:51] I'm currently trying to install a driver through NDISWrapper; the installation guide tells me to run "depmod -a" and make sure it doesn't error. However it gives me a FATAL error, but the documentation doesn't tell me what to do. Any help? [18:51] ashkore dl books or just his the forums [18:51] mikebeecham, you might want to check your samba config file and make sure it didn't somehow get erased... [18:51] or just hang around and lern [18:52] etherway if your new [18:52] Woohoo [18:52] wireless works [18:52] bluefox83: neither of my mounted drives are visible.. [18:52] it just a matter of playing around with it and time... [18:52] ashkore: welcome to the wonderful world of opensource [18:52] I got the answer from a fedora forum... [18:52] ashkore: you could use a program like kdevelop or anjuta if you like the gui [18:52] lol - what does that exactly mean? [18:52] * david__ don't you feel bad... [18:52] bluefox83: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46992/ [18:53] mikebeecham, is it at all possible that you had a second partition with ubuntu installed on it? [18:53] * Ereal1 who here has amd64bit box? [18:53] ashkore, means welcome to the real world of computing [18:53] is there an ubuntu utility that works similar to the gentoo: rc-config show [18:53] (shows the runlevel / init script states etc) [18:53] * linduxed has one [18:53] Nirevus: what does depmod -a do? also, I can give you a different guide... [18:53] AR5006EG if you have that wireless card, I can tell you how to use it with madwifi [18:53] bluefox83: ..setup as follows: primary HDD =- two partitions - windows and linux 7.10 [18:53] * samgranieri agrees with ItchyHobo [18:53] has anyone had the problem of flash not having sound and if so, have you8 found a fix [18:53] not ndiswrapper [18:53] bluefox83: secondary HDD called 'media' with all my shares [18:54] Hi, can I just delete the files under /var/cache/apt to save disk space, or there is a right way to do that? [18:54] danbhfive: it doesn't say, it simply tells you to run it and make sure it doesn't error. Any other help would be appreciated. [18:54] ashkore, if you are using ubuntu the built in help is a pretty good place to start [18:54] bluefox83: samba.conf is still there [18:54] ok cheers (y) [18:54] * sorry, used to msn emoticons [18:54] mikebeecham, ok, well it sounded like you discovered a second ubuntu partition or something...cus samba and fstab don't just suddenly lose their config files... [18:54] I think it is down to my drives not being mounted [18:55] mikebeecham, check /etc/fstab [18:55] does anyone know how to take an ubuntu install from base server (no x, no gnome) to a fully functioning linux desktop? i tried doing this earlier and I couldnt get hte mouse driver to work at all [18:55] mikebeecham, once you make sure it's all sorted, just sudo mount -a and then i think just restart samba... [18:55] bluefox83: there is no /fstab [18:56] samgranieri: whatcha mean mouse driver? [18:56] sdorry I found it [18:56] for X? [18:56] danbhfive: Fixed my own problem. [18:56] basically, i've got app that is looking for an external HDD, is /media/FREECOM HDD/Downloads/ counted as a mounted point? [18:56] i used the Screens and Graphics Manager to change my resolution choices so i could select 1280x1024. i then used xrandr -s 0/1280x1024 and my resolution was successfully changed. I restarted my computer and the login screen appeared at the correct resolution then when i logged in it just changed. how can i get it to stay at 1280x1024 when i login [18:56] robeph: yeah, for X. [18:56] when you say can't get it working [18:56] nirevus, good [18:56] mikebeecham, you have no idea how bad it woulda been to nto have an /etc/fstab :X [18:56] *not [18:56] and what does 'X' mean, everybody seems to be using it [18:56] do you mean you dunno what to tell it the mouse device is? ie /dev/psaux /dev/mouse or /dev/mice etc? [18:56] bluefox83: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46993 [18:57] ashkore: its what happens when you break up with your girlfriend [18:57] robeph: im not sure. i just ripped all the x and gnome stuff out of my system and reverted it to just a server [18:57] X = X11, xorg [18:57] X11 [18:57] would any body on the private help me and it will be about that"I was uninstalling xfce-desktop And I marked many things to uninstall then synaptic stoped and ubuntu loged out then it didn't come back "plz if answer will be here write xfce at first [18:57] !X11 [18:57] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[18:59] sadly I'm here asking if somoene knows of something in ubuntu that I havce in gentoo [18:59] so x = gui renderer [18:59] but cannot find :( [18:59] * ItchyHobo shudders [18:59] ashkore: yeh sorta [18:59] robeph: i'm on a mac sshing into an ubuntu box [18:59] cool [18:59] what config file do i need to set the PATH variable and whatever variable that says where shared libraries are? [18:59] I think I lost my gnome-desktop what should I do ? [18:59] bluefox83: brb [19:00] ashkore: also, gnome, is a DE , desktop environment FOR X.... not a gui itself [19:00] =) [19:00] huss, sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop" [19:00] huss: go to terminal and type, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [19:00] * Dr_willis installs jwm - that will show ya!

[19:15] CroX, System -> Preferences ->Screen Resolution should get you there [19:15] coheti: thats dns [19:15] h00k: That wont work, it just gives me a dialog asking me wether or not I want to keep this new resolution. But the resolution isn't changed. [19:16] coheti: probably, your router should be configured with dhcp server [19:16] hello [19:16] CroX, have you tried restarting X? [19:16] coheti: your router must provide you with an IP address dynamically [19:16] h00k: Newp. You think that'd work? [19:16] coheti: do you connect under windows or other OS = [19:16] I'll try that. [19:16] How can I install kde and all the Kubuntu stuff under my ubuntu installation? I don't want them to "harm" each other, however I want to try KDE as well, since I haven't used it since version 3.2. And I suppose it has changed since then.. [19:17] juano__: sory? i'm on ubuntu!

[19:18] NetLarIrvine, as long as you get the right architecture cd [19:19] coheti: in the pc that works fine, go to system ------>administration ------>network [19:19] thats not even a valid structured question =\ [19:19] davidrammstein: [19:19] can someone ask me how the adress of the irc channel #linux is? [19:19] So it is different for different chip sets?

[19:20] ahh , ok thanks robeph [19:20] juano__: dhcp automatic [19:20] test_: yes, you give a little, and get a little [19:20] that's it in a nutshell [19:20] coheti: ok so your router provides dhcp server [19:20] coheti: check to see if that is enabled on the pc with no internet [19:20] can someone tell me how the adress of the irc channel #linux is? [19:20] Bleh, the ubuntu 7.10 is extremely unstable for me :S [19:21] why? [19:21] why? [19:21] 7.10 is unstable??

[19:21] NTFS? - which is most likely [19:21] ubuntu can't read or write to NTFS [19:22] davidrammstein: That sentence isn't a question. I'd assume you want #ubuntu-de since I know rammstein is a german band. [19:22] juano__: castellano me es mas facil, je [19:22] I change my resolution with xrandr and when i restart the resolution reverts back to what it was originally [19:22] how do you get them started that sort of thing [19:22] I have been looking for it under "applications" [19:22] I cant find it there [19:22] Wow... my video card got fried... I did not think that happens these days [19:22] coheti: uuu hubieras avisado, unete a #ubuntu-es [19:22] coheti: heheheh === joerlend is now known as XiXaQ [19:22] can someone tell me how the adress of the irc channel #linux is?

[19:22] h00k: Missed your message. Yeah, that did work. [19:22] I've installed ubuntu gutsy on a box and i cant get the mouse to work. which device in /dev should I look for? [19:23] davidrammstein, join #ubundu-de [19:23] ashkore ,Ubuntu does read and write to Ntfs . All you need to install is ntfs-3g [19:23] CroX, cool. good [19:23] h00k: And now I can switch between resolutions again also. [19:23] is there a channel for general PC hardware help? [19:23] samgranieri, VMware? [19:23] writing ntfs scares me badly [19:23] :( [19:23] CroX: the same way should work, and then you'd have to restart X again [19:23] Tailsfan: i'm not using VMware [19:23] windows scares me! [19:23] hahah [19:23] Yeah [19:23] h00k: I said that already, either he can't read english well enough to understand that, or he's ignoring us. [19:23] I mean weird [19:23] well I mean i'd not write data on ntfs anywhere near anything I really need [19:23] Windows is scarey [19:23] Tailsfan: i'm sshing into a full ubuntu box [19:24] bobbob1016, people suck :) [19:24] h00k: No, I mean now it works. I don't have to restart X after having selected a new resolution. :) [19:24] Oooooh, hm, cool [19:24] tarelerulz: sorry, i knew it didn't read or write out of the box but i didn't know there was a package that will [19:24] Yeah Right Net [19:24] Windows is cool [19:24] what does permission 777 mean? [19:24] I usually like to dual-boot [19:24] And scarey [19:24] it CAN read ntfs out of the box...! [19:24] where can I find help on how to use bittorrents [19:24] Now I only have one more problem. My sound wont work. [19:24] ... is this Ubuntu channel or a windows channel/ [19:24] davidrammstein: bist du deutsche? [19:24] Music's playing and all, it seems, but I get no sound. [19:24] davidrammstein: Ihr Englisch ist ziemlich gut nicht verstanden, logisch zu sein. Bitte gehen Sie zu #ubuntu-de [19:25] let me know when windows can read ext3 out of the box mmmk? [19:25] Anyway Does the Ubuntu Family have a screen capture software i can install using Synaptic? [19:25] bonsoir [19:25] eh, ext2fs is available [19:25] and useful [19:25] Crox, are you on a laptop? [19:25] I've installed my wireless drivers wtih NDISWrapper. Both "ndiswrapper -l" in the terminal, and ndisgtk display that the driver is working and the device is recognised, but it won't pick up any networks. Any help? [19:25] available, yes. Out of the box, NO [19:25] I have Ubuntu installed on a 160GB external 2.5" HD. I boot from that HD on various computers, but Ubuntu only has about 20 gigs.. the rest is NTFS in case I need a computer to actually use that drive as storage and the computer doesnt run Linux (like at school) [19:25] zcat[1]: haha [19:25] so NTFS has it's place [19:25] ashkore , I am just telling that is all. We all are in the same boat most the time. We all don't know something at times. That is why we all need to ask. By the way I am glad to help if I know how to. [19:25] ubuntu is cool [19:25] zcat[1]: it takes what, 30s to install though? [19:25] h00k: Erm.. Nevermind me. I had plugged the cable into the wrong hole. :( Move along, nothing to see here. :P [19:25] ls [19:25] yeh writing ntfs is scary though [19:25] oops [19:26] it's still an exercise in daring to do [19:26] CroX, Ha. It's okay, it happens. I've done the same... [19:26] * Tailsfan has to use ntfs-3g for his USB hard drive [19:26] phdami: only if you're aware that it even exists.. :) [19:26] zcat[1]: heh [19:26] I can merge directories by through copying and pasting in a graphical file browser like nautilus or konq. Is there a way to do this on a command line? [19:26] zcat[1]: 30s in google [19:26] alexbobp: use mv ? [19:26] alexbobp: you mean moving one directory into another? [19:26] alexbobp, man mov [19:27] I use ntfs-3g all the time and it has never failed me. shutting down windows before it is read is the only thing that has ever given me problems with ntfs-3g [19:27] how do I start working with bittorrents [19:27] and if you're at someone's house who doesn't have internet? [19:27] test: use ktorrent [19:27] or Azureus ;) [19:27] zcat: Huh? [19:27] Azureus can be a bitch to set up [19:27] ktorrent is better [19:27] ktorrent is not better, dont fool yourself [19:28] Yes it is, it's less memory consuming [19:28] samgranieri: mv will fail if I try to move a directory into another [19:28] that doesnt make it better [19:28] alexbobp, do you have permissions? [19:28] h00k: I have no mov [19:28] MS Paint uses less memory than Photoshop.. it's not better :) [19:28] ktorrent is a better alternative than a java app [19:28] pike: depends on what that java app can dop [19:28] I can boot the ubuntu live cd on a toasted windows machine and recover all their files to a usb drive. had to do it a few times. this is kinda offtopic tho. [19:28] do [19:28] use rtorrent CLI = win [19:28] but both fall short [19:28] * samgranieri likes gimp [19:28] its the least overhead of any torrent util [19:28] oh, alexbobp it was a typo, ment mv [19:28] tarelerulz: how can I keep my screen resolution. I use xrandr -s 0/1280x1024 and my resolution changes fine. but when i restart the login screen appears at the 1280x1024 resolution but when i login my resolution reverts back to 800x600. how can i permanently change it to 1280x1024? [19:29] Azureus is ridiculously configurable and plugin-able :) [19:29] the original point was someone complaining that 'linux can't read or write ntfs" which is total bollox [19:29] marx2k, that's what I like about it [19:29] Test, install the bit torrent client such as Azureus , ktorrent , rtorrent and even Utorrent if you get wine. The next part is learning to configing you network with routers and then finding a good site that host torrent files [19:29] h00k: indeedly [19:29] is ktorrent under applications? [19:29] test: should be under internet applications [19:29] Applications > Inter [19:29] I wouldn't trust linux to r/w ntfs [19:29] Internet* === sal_ is now known as justafish [19:29] though if youre not running KDE, you might need to install some KDE libraries [19:29] !torrent | test_ [19:29] test_: Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [19:29] phdami, it's been around for a while to read/write NTFS. It's fairly stable. [19:29] the azureus project did alot for torrent clients i guess but i wouldnt run it unless i had loads or ram to spare like a 4 gig system or something [19:30] You could use a iMac Cube for ubuntu right? [19:30] phdami: I wound't trust windows to read or write ntfs either.. [19:30] phdami: I've been using Ubuntu to read/write ntfs for 3 semesters now [19:30] NetLarIrvine: yes [19:30] ashkore , I wish I could tell you ,but mos the time I come here to get stuff worked out or search on the net for hours and sometimes days. I am still new to it. [19:30] For 6.06 [19:30] I have a dual-boot configuration with Vista (which I occasionally use for games, and not much else). I mount my NTFS read-write and use it to store files from Linux all the time, and to transfer data between the system. I have not had any problems. Linux NTFS support is stable. [19:30] is it pretty easy to make a partition and then move the files that i want both os to view? [19:30] pike_: I still say, rtorrent (the cli torrent app) is prolly the best /least overhead, and fastest running [19:30] pike: yeah Azureus has a huge footprint, I agree [19:30] Is it slower than a PC? [19:30] NetLarIrvine: is than an intel or ppc? comp? [19:30] Hello. How I can get vypress chat on ubuntu? It used @ my homenetwork. [19:30] Put it this way; I've seen windows screw up an ntfs filesystem a lot more often than I've seen linux do it :) [19:31] but all torrent clients are missing the one thing I depend on with Azureus.

[19:32] JeOS (Just Enough Operating System) [19:32] It was made for VMware [19:32] Oh I see [19:33] robeph: (I know you didn't ask me, but I'm answering anyway) I have several directories symbolic-linked to directories on the NTFS. Some Windows games I run with wine are saving to and from NTFS, UT2K4 which runs on Windows and Linux is saving on NTFS, and my torrents and dc++ download directories are on the NTFS. That is a lot of writing, and it all works fine, [19:33] oops [19:33] I think that's what my professor is forcing people to use for java development, actually [19:33] I know he's making people use an Ubuntu virtual image [19:33] alexbobp: ah, I've not done it in ages [19:33] mplayer freezes in ubuntu64 after 5 mins... [19:33] last time I tried it was very alpha [19:33] and it nuked some things [19:33] and I just can't concieve it coming a huge step from there in the last year or two [19:33] but it may have ;) [19:33] hello, i'm trying to add another domain to search through via the network settings, however it keeps getting overwritten; how can i make this permanent? [19:33] i stil wouldn't trust it on a production grade system [19:33] i believe it is some network-manager related thing [19:33] * Tailsfan wonders if his laptop is compatiable with a 64-bit processor [19:34] alexbobp do you have a minute to help [19:34] robeph: The Linux NTFS drivers were unstable recently, but are stable now. They were young, and are now mature. [19:34] Hmm [19:34] Guest_392: I can try [19:34] ah [19:34] I'm not listening to the philosophy instructor anyway ;) [19:34] well, still, not production rdy [19:34] =) [19:34] I disagree [19:34] The problems arose from -rt kernel [19:34] oops, closed chatzilla's windows [19:34] Hey, does anyone know how I can find out what packages are on a default installation CD? [19:34] With non rt kernel the stuff seems to be more stable [19:34] it's not been stable > yr [19:34] lol === brandon_ is now known as shrug [19:35] is there just a basic command you enter to be able to read the ntfs in unbuntu [19:35] hello everyone [19:35] Guest_392: just mount it ntfs [19:35] robeph: So by that logic, you can't use Vista for another few years [19:35] if ya got the drvs [19:35] thorN: id imagine they are in /var/cache/apt in installcd too but not sure [19:35] alexbobp: and shalln't ;) [19:35] Ugh.. When installing the flash plugin: md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz [19:35] not in a production grade environ [19:35] desktop usage, no worries [19:35] CroX, I ran into that last night [19:35] what is the ubuntu evquivalent to a windows EXE file? [19:35] but not hosting a web site on it [19:35] *yesterday [19:35] how do I remove a rule from iptables? I want to remove the 4th one [19:35] h00k: Did you solve it? [19:35] ashkore: a file that has the x flag mode [19:35] Guest_392: run disks-admin and you can set up the mount from there. There should be a checkbox for allowing write support. [19:35] ie chmod a+x [19:36] makes it executable [19:36] CroX: known bug. you can try to remove --purge the package and install it again [19:36] thanks pike_, i'll check it out [19:36] robeph: is there a specific file extension? [19:36] linux doesn't use extensions [19:36] do i type that in a command line? [19:36] I'm trying to install ubuntu w/ fluxbox on a really old laptop [19:36] thats a windows but [19:36] bit* really [19:36] how would I reconfigure the mouse in linux? the thing wont move on the screen? [19:36] erUSUL, no, you have to do it manually, I did it yesterday [19:36] thorN: it maybe isnt in the cache try sudo locate -u; locate .deb [19:36] samgranieri: nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf [19:36] and whats the x flag mode? [19:36] change your input device [19:36] nvidia drivers can't enter runlevel 3? is there a way around? [19:36] erUSUL: sudo aptitude remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree? [19:36] robeph: i'm in there now [19:36] x flag (x mode) is executable [19:36] You'll probaly want Fluxbuntu for that then [19:37] Guest_392: Are you up to date? The latest and I think second latest versions of Ubuntu support NTFS read-write out of the box, and much earlier ones support read only [19:37] ie chmod a+x (all owner/group/others) set to eXecutable [19:37] i just downloaded it yesterday [19:37] Still same problem. :( [19:37] CroX: see here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/125986 [19:37] how do i know if a file's x flag [19:37] when i click on it it says unable to mount [19:37] ashkore: check its modes ;) [19:37] erUSUL: Thanks, I'll check it out.

Still, no good. I tried everything and it turned out that the video card got fried in such a way that the computer doesnt turn on when the video card is in there. that pissed me off big time [19:38] download the i386 one === sephiroth is now known as Sephiroth [19:38] hi [19:38] robeph: http://pastie.caboo.se/125088 [19:38] ashkore: ls -la [19:38] Thanks Tailsfan [19:38] how do i do that, robeph? [19:38] (sorry, i haven't really used linux before) [19:38] should list all the flags on the left [19:38] Welcome [19:39] marx2k: it will be far worse ahard disk failure imho [19:39] whatever the settings are there arent working [19:39] marx2k i would probably powering your pc with the card in there :) [19:39] I've installed my wireless drivers wtih NDISWrapper. Both "ndiswrapper -l" in the terminal, and ndisgtk display that the driver is working and the device is recognised, but it won't pick up any networks. Any help? [19:39] and will the flag be "x"? [19:39] for an executeable [19:39] avoid* [19:39] (ls = list directory) -la show all files -a and show long form (all information, date, modes ) [19:39] ls -l works too [19:39] Nirevus, Did you run the -m switches too? [19:40] -m switches? [19:40] Isn't that simply to make it run at startup [19:40] can anyone point me towards a good C++ / C tutorial, or teach me? [19:40] Well, now Im thinking of just buying a new mobo/CPU with onboard video [19:40] Nirevus, ndiswrapper -m, -ma -mi [19:40] I'm having a minor problem with my sound card. It used to be detected properly in earlier versions of Ubuntu, but I just recently installed Ubuntu in place of my Fedora installation. (7.10), and I'm not getting any sound from my speakers. There is a sound control panel I can open, but no matter what I do to the volume level, I get no sound. However, sound works perfectly under Windows. According to the sound control panel, [19:40] my sound card is an Audigy 1 [unknown] [19:40] hello, how can i get my 5.1 soundsystem to work with 7.10? [19:40] the stuff is on the left that will tell ya if its executable (the x's ) each x from left to right means, rwx--x--x it's readable by the owner, writable by the owner, executable by the owner, but cannot be read by the group members or written to by group members (or other users for that matter) but can be executed [19:41] Sephiroth, run the cmd alsamixer in the terminal [19:41] you got diff permission modes [19:41] and make sure nothing is muted [19:41] sup? [19:41] punzada [19:41] phaedra: module configuration already contains alias directive [19:41] Sephiroth: in terminal, go to alsamixer [19:41] hello, when some1 says install as a root, wat does it mean pls? [19:41] uh oh [19:41] I'll think about it [19:41] Nirevus, I've also found that it helps to reboot the system after installing the win drivers.... Weird...

[19:45] FaraBuntnet: you'd need to boot into a different runlevel, but if you just want to work in a terminal, just do ALT+CTRL+F1 to F6 [19:45] on a default installation [19:45] ashkore: /etc/apache2/ [19:45] marx2k : well i dont see whether i got PCI or AGP [19:45] Pardon, could someone please help with this situation?: I disabled administrator privileges for my only user account, could someone please tell me how to manually change the settings to enable the administrator privileges?

(rev c1) [19:46] I followed what seems to be the standard webcam install directions, but none worked, is there anything else that I can do? Can I try the drivers at random? [19:46] so that tells me AGP :) [19:46] no sorry [19:46] I reead that the runlevels in ubuntu are all X servers...? like 2,3,4 [19:46] marx2k, i did install super terminal and found it didnt make a difference so uninstalled it, could that be a problem, maybe i should reboot?

[20:46] Lunks, I must have misread what you wrote [20:46] michael_: enter "free" in a terminal [20:46] Lunks: did you just install ubuntu over the windows install on an ntfs partition? === Moniker8241 is now known as Moniker42 [20:46] Dutzzu: haven't found a solution yet.. but here's some other guy with the same brand of webcam http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=524428 [20:46] im on the fone [20:46] AgentHeX: No, I've made a new ext3 partition. [20:46] ubuntu on ntfs? [20:46] Lunks: how did you get windows installed there? [20:46] AgentHeX: I removed windows partition [20:47] michael system monitor [20:47] unop: i know it sounds crazy, and no, i have not tried, but i would imagine it's possible [20:47] AgentHeX: Actually, there's Wubi which is almost a "Ubuntu on NTFS" [20:47] !wubi | AgentHeX [20:47] AgentHeX: wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html === Julian3 is now known as saxartist [20:48] ok, still looking for a good scientific/graphing calculator, i found "Qualculate!" which is a great scientific calculator but lacks the graphing capabilities. If anyone has a tip of one that combines the two like say a Texas Instrument 85 calculator, pls shout it out [20:48] AgentHeX, I dunno if the installer would know what NTFS is .. but you can migrate partitions over to NTFS later on (provided you have NTFS read write support installed) [20:48] Lunks: i assume that's a version of ubuntu that runs within windows? [20:48] Slart, i've already seen that topic :* [20:48] :( [20:48] unop: the text-mode installer for the alternate CD recognizes my NTFS partitions and mounts them in /media [20:48] 515648- Available. used: 436848 Why is so much memory being used??? what does the swap mean? [20:48] Dutzzu: can't find any other info on your webcam... sorry [20:48] AgentHeX: It's similar to mounting isos on ubuntu [20:49] michael_: linux maps up all memory, all of it isnt in use by programs [20:49] AgentHeX: It creates a file which it will load and treat as a mount point. [20:49] Lunks: hmmm... i'm curious -- not enough to try anything but still curious [20:49] aladdinsane: hm? qalculate graphs [20:49] Slart, one more question: if i type: deb http://blognux.free.fr/debian unstable main [20:49] i get the message [20:49] aladdinsane: i mean ok, it uses gnuplot to, but still [20:49] !zend studio [20:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about zend studio - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:49] :( [20:49] bash: deb: command not found [20:50] michael_: swap means the same, but for the memory-swap-partition [20:50] AgentHeX: If you already use Ubuntu there's no point using it. But if you want someone to try it, it's the best choice [20:50] AgentHeX, hmm... but have you ever tried making a mount point like / or /usr or /var formatted as NTFS within the installer tho? [20:50] what do i have to installl ? [20:50] Dutzzu thats a source [20:50] hey [20:50] Lunks: i'm dual-booting with Ubuntu and XP [20:50] System > ... > Software Sources or something [20:50] mavi: ok, well based on system monitor- only 2.5gb is being used, so i guessi installed it correctly [20:50] unop: nope. haven't tried. [20:50] danbhfive, it's the same like typeing with wget ? insteed of deb ? [20:50] Dutzzu: Instead of trying to execute that line as a command, instead add it (with admin write priveledge) to /etc/apt/sources.list [20:51] is there a way to buffer screensavers run with "-root" so the background is not cleared when something is drawn over it? [20:51] I'm trying to copy a load of stuff from one hd/folder to another, and the copy stopped half-way through somewhere, I think because one of the files was in use, now how can I start that copy again without overwriting what's there? [20:51] Dutzzu System > Admin > Software Sources [20:51] unop: as i recall, there's no option to format / with NTFS, so it's probably not possible to r/w the partition until the kernel (and perhaps other parts of the system) is available. [20:51] how do I enable mouse in my console? [20:51] MikeH: no [20:51] rabidweezle: install gpm [20:52] thanks [20:52] MikeH: When it asks if you want to copy over the files click skip, it will copy whatever files arent already there. [20:52] danbhfive: Thanks, it will help me later [20:52] soundray, no? [20:52] then reboot? [20:52] deadlock, thanks. [20:52] MikeH: When it asks if you want to copy over the files click skip, it will copy whatever files arent already there. [20:52] AgentHeX, which is what i mean exactly too [20:52] rabidweezle: no, then use the mouse [20:52] unop: maybe using ext2 for /boot and ntfs for the root partition. iono. i'm not going to try, but if someone in this room is crazy enough to try, i'm sure they'll get back to us -- or not if it borks their system. :-P [20:52] please, somebody... zend studio, when i start it it`s all gray. someone knows anything about it? [20:52] MikeH: you can use rsync instead of cp if you want to avoid re-transferring files [20:52] kazil: thats was a compiz-bug some year ago [20:52] ahh [20:52] ok [20:52] MikeH: cp doesn't stop because of a file being "in use", by the way [20:52] it works [20:52] nice [20:52] hi, all i ve a problem with a router wireless...I have a sitecom wireless connected to ADSL, and i have a netgear dg834g for try to repeat signal. [20:53] kazil: try open a terminal and type "metacity --replace" [20:53] kazil: and then restart zend [20:53] thanks lgl [20:53] just a sec [20:53] AgentHeX, I've used /usr/ on an NTFS partition temporarily once while making some free space ... but only temporarily [20:53] but netgear dont repeat signal... anyone can help me? [20:53] dont see why / wouldnt work tho [20:53] kazil: "metacity --replace &" even [20:53] LjL-Temp: Maybe its just me having a bad day but do you mean i can plot graphs with Qalculate! or is there a standalone called "Qalculate graphs"? cause in that case i cant find it [20:53] unop: i would imagine that if the kernel has the NTFS driver, you would only need ext2 for the kernel and the rest could be ntfs [20:54] tommax1083: I do not think that qualifies as an ubuntu-related tech question [20:54] unop: again, i don't care enough to try, but it's good discussion material [20:54] where i can find group? [20:54] aladdinsane: File > Plot Function/Data, enter an expression, and click "Add". at least on the KDE version. [20:54] danbhfive: By the way, do you believe 40gb to / and 80gb to /home is the best way? [20:54] how can i check if my NVIDIA graphics cards is running in OpenGL mode with ubuntu [20:54] mavi-: please send me your address... i`m gonna send u a case of beer man!!! [20:54] hrm [20:55] kazil: haha =) [20:55] Lunks, is a 2 seater coupe better than a 10 seater limousine? :) [20:55] Hi. How can I make Ubuntu use my swap space? [20:55] How can I mount a partition as root that is writable by anyone? [20:55] michael_: glxinfo [20:55] unop: of course! [20:55] kazil: but anyway, tried eclipse with the php-plugins, i like it more then zend [20:55] lunks: thanks [20:55] mavi-: thanks a lot [20:55] kazil: try* [20:55] Right now, when my RAM fills up, it just completely freezes my system, and that's it. [20:55] Vad1: remove memory? [20:55] geni, danbhfive how can i edit that ? [20:55] kazil: www.easyeclipse.org got some packages [20:55] soundray, relative disposition does not apply :) [20:55] Lunks: well, it depends I guess, I have a 40g, and I did 30g to home, and 10g to / [20:55] yeah i tried it also but zend is much more for my taste :) [20:55] ok [20:55] Vad1: the memory is ok? have you run a mem-test? [20:55] unop: it depends! =P [20:56] lunks: you could probably do 10g to / and 110g to /home [20:56] unop: the best thing yet is a campervan, though [20:56] Slart: Yes my memory is fine. It is however refusing to use the swap patrition. [20:56] Lunks, there you go - you answered your own question then :) [20:56] danbhfive: I will do something like it later. :P [20:56] genii, danbhfive with " pico " ? [20:56] Vad1: is it mounted as swap? [20:56] clear [20:56] kazil: you will have to disable 3d-effects every time you want to run zend tho [20:56] LjL-Temp: Magnificent! I totally missed that, pardon my stupidity, thnx! [20:56] soundray, indeed :) [20:56] unop: I'd rather would like to know how much is good to a / partition. :P [20:56] Dutzzu go to System > Admin> Software Sources [20:56] Vad1: and have you run the enable swap command.. swapon? [20:56] also i used zend for almost 2 years now... so i`m kinda use to it :) [20:56] kazil: or maybe there are some compiz-patch for that if you are in the mood for fixing it. [20:56] Slart, thank you for your time *anyway* :) [20:56] Slart: How can I check? ah ok [20:56] How can I make an .iso file into several 1gb .zip pieces to be opened in Windows? Rar might be acceptable too. The split solution seems too complicated for the person I'm going to send it to. [20:56] danbhfive, oke, and than ? [20:57] LjL-Temp: Magnificent! I totally missed that, pardon my stupidity, thnx! [20:57] Dutzzu: sorry I couldn't be more helpful... webcams are uncharted territory kind of.. [20:57] Slart: no idea what argument to use for swapon [20:57] Dutzzu go to 3rd party, and add it there [20:57] ops [20:57] Lunks, well, i choose to put /usr, /usr/local, /var, etc on different partitions .. in that case 256Mb for / suffices [20:57] or less even [20:57] Vad1: sudo swapon -a [20:57] Slart: I put the system monitor applet for swap and ram in my gnome bar. It just says 0% for swap though [20:57] slart dutzzu I think I might pirate a copy of windows or something :( just for the webcam [20:57] Lunks, it totally depends on how you have chosen to partition your disk and assign mount points [20:58] danbhfive, i thought about that too... using wine :-s [20:58] unop: I'm just separating / and /home as almost every other directory doesn't have a clear purpose. :P [20:58] Dutzzu: danbhfive recommended the system>admin>sources route which is likely easiest. but you can also manually add with something like sudo pico /etc/apt/sources.list or alt-f2 then gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [20:58] Slart: http://pastebin.com/m1e5fc7ec [20:58] Slart, thank you anyway, :D i apraciate that you tried :) [20:58] Dutzzu no, you cant use wine [20:58] danbhfive: yes.. webcams and wi-fi are things that need some work in the linux world.. wi fi is getting better.. let's hope webcams will come along shortly too [20:58] Lunks, in that case I would use a liberal 20Gb for / and the rest for /home [20:58] unop: I feel like Captain Obvious, but I only know /home is for my own stuff. :P [20:59] ok, then [20:59] Lunks, wow .. now, i didnt even know that :) [20:59] haha lol [20:59] Vad1: moved disks recently? it seems it doesn't find the disk it wants.. [20:59] Using Cedega and WoW with Gutsy-- How do i get WoW to update itself-- Anyone experience this problem [20:59] or patch [20:59] Lunks, you could mount /home into some other directory under / too, ya know? :) [20:59] Slart: I did install the ubuntu server edition on my laptop today, yeah. [20:59] =P [21:00] Slart: and told it to use the same swap space. I thought that was legal. [21:00] where I can change my splash screens? [21:00] Slart: what do I dooo? [21:00] Vad1: yes.. that would be alright.. check in the file /etc/fstab... somewhere in there is a line that defines what partition to use for swap.. [21:01] pff, i have to go now [21:01] i ll try later [21:01] have a good night [21:01] or more if you use multiple swap paritions [21:01] good night Dutzzu [21:01] & thank you again for your time :) [21:01] where I can change my splash screens? [21:01] Slart: http://pastebin.com/m78f21b29 [21:02] deadlock, I'm getting told there isn't enough space on the destination disc [21:02] However there would be if just the files that were missing were added.? [21:02] MikeH: why aren't you listening to me? [21:02] Using Cedega and WoW with Gutsy-- How do i get WoW to update itself-- Anyone experience this problem [21:02] mavi-: there`s some zend plugin for eclipse in beta available on zend.com. u tried it? [21:02] whats up [21:02] soundray, all you said was no? [21:02] Vad1: ok.. can you find out what partition is supposed to be the swap partition? it would be called something like /dev/sda1 .. might even be just that [21:03] MikeH: you mean you missed all the other things I said to you? [21:03] soundray, sorry, didn't see the other stuff [21:03] hello all [21:03] get out [21:03] lol [21:03] * soundray wonders why some people can be bothered to ask a question, but can't be bothered to read the answers...

[21:04] ok i had to force mount my other partitions and am now cleaning up the partitions i deleted a bunch of data but why does it say that there is still mass amount of space used? [21:04] hello [21:04] im just about to start it now [21:05] Vad1: ok then.. change "UUID=816b665a-5723-4a04-96fa-b335ea6601fa" to "/dev/sda1" and then try the "sudo swapon -a" command again [21:05] oh [21:05] ok [21:05] MikeH: use rsync --help to find out about the available parameters and pick the ones you need. Use --dry-run for testing before you run the command in earnest. [21:05] My fstab looks corect for a drive that gives me an fstab (line8) error. anyway I can find out what might be wrong on it?

[21:15] mafsi: yep, that's how ubuntu does by default [21:15] ashkore no prob :D [21:15] danbhfive: Gentoo has softer migration process; Debian has longer waranties, I may also have a look at Mandrake ...

[21:19] lunks: i msged you [21:19] Seivan|: I don't know, that's a bit more involved. You can run it from gdm. I think there is a thread or even a howto on the ubuntu forums -- worth a search. [21:19] soundray: [21:20] soundray: I did @reboot /usr/bin/tightvncserver :1 [21:20] However I get USER environmental variabel not set when I reboot in mail [21:20] ashkore: i`m into making an accounting program in php use it on localhost only (btw sorry for bad english :)) [21:20] ok [21:21] ashkore: u got any personal website to check it out?

[21:50] thanks bruenig [21:50] Defyence: yes ill help you - to an extent [21:50] Slart: Actually "^class[^;]*$" works [21:50] alex__, so [21:50] well a friend of mine told me to look at source tree to find what chipset for atheros i have [21:50] by extent i mean - as far as i know [21:50] OK, anyone and everyone who can help, when installing Ubuntu onto my computer, I seemed to have messed up. Vague, innit? Anyway... [21:50] can anyone help me with changing the bootscreen? [21:50] nvm [21:50] i see [21:50] TerribleTickler, he must mean the tree of modules in /lib/modules but even that won't tell you what chipset necessarily [21:51] oh [21:51] kaneelbroodje: im using dc++ which i think works pretty good, it doesnt have those 2 features you are looking for though, at least not the second one [21:51] Now, it didn't seem to go through with the whole process, and when I reboot my computer and change set-up to boot in its original configuration, which should load Windows, it just goes to a blank screen. [21:51] steveire: yes..but I kind of think that the first one was a bit clearer.. but with regexps clear isn't really what you're after =) [21:51] i have a acer aspire 5610z [21:51] i have a acer aspire 5610z [21:52] it did not tell me what kind of chipset I have [21:52] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47036/ [21:52] thats my apache.conf file in /etc/phpmyadmin [21:52] And now that I rebooted on my Ubuntu CD once more, all of the music and files which I had on my D-drive before (just storage, I split it from the C for entertainment only) is gone, where before I was listening to my music and looking through old foldars. [21:52] folders* [21:52] genii: drive still there and working great (in vista). I checked the windows permssions (because with vista it encryps the drive) and set it to Everyone, with all permissions... maybe I have to turn off the encryption somehow :-\ [21:53] brb [21:53] dmckee: Ah, thats likely it, that it's encrypted [21:53] dmckee: Truecrypt? [21:53] Defyence: are you using the live cd? [21:54] kazil, found anything yet? [21:54] I believe that's what it's called. Downloaded the iso and burned it to the CD I'm booting from. [21:54] genii: thank you, I think I will try that approach. Are you usually in here (i can check back with you in a little bit)? [21:54] askore not really [21:54] how can I install ruby 1.8.6 in feisty (without compiling from the tarball) ? [21:54] is there a ruby 1.8.6 backport for feisty>? [21:54] dmckee: I need to leave this location but back online in about an hour [21:54] Defyence: so you get the ubuntu desktop and the install icon? [21:54] ashkore: Sorry, that last message was to you, didn't address it though. [21:55] genii: oh no... not my encryption. the windows vista encryption (it auto encrypts drives so they they can only be used in that machine, to prevent theft) [21:55] Defyence: thats ok, im looking anyway [21:55] Heh [21:55] hello [21:55] dmckee: wrong. bitlocker is not enabled by default [21:55] Defyence: do you get the desktop and the install icon when you boot from cd? [21:55] and of course if it is enabled, ntfs-3g can't access it [21:55] dmckee: I'm not overly familiar with the builtin method vista uses for it's own drive encryption. [21:55] genii: but I would assume that the music drive would be encrypted then too... but that one is seen and mounted and working in ubuntu... [21:56] I'm not getting any sound out of my new ubuntu install. Neither from my SB audigy nor the built-in sound === YanchoAWY is now known as Yancho [21:56] but I'm not getting any errors from any program either [21:56] !sound [21:56] 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 [21:56] ashkore, u didn`t answered (or i didn`t saw) /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf? [21:56] Does Gutsy Server (i386) have built-in support for PAE, out of the box? [21:56] vols_: oh! thanks for the info. maybe I'm incorrect with my assumption then. [21:56] whats in it? [21:56] dmckee: I think "access to everyone" option in vista would only apply after it's booted to that OS [21:56] kazil: yes its there and i pasted it at this link, you must have missed it [21:56] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47036/ [21:56] genii: Vols_ said it wouldn't be encrypted... so now what ? lol [21:56] ashkore: Yes, I do. [21:57] genii: makes sense... [21:57] how much RAM do you have on your system? [21:57] can anyone help me get sound recorder to record a skype conversation [21:57] dmckee: Like i said I need to leave work but will be back online in about 1 hour from home [21:57] genii: ok thank you. [21:57] ashkore: thats for alias.conf in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ [21:57] later all [21:57] u need the same in /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf [21:58] can anyone help me get sound recorder to record a skype conversation [21:58] ashkore: Also I think it's worth mentioning that when I prioritize the boot to load whatever you'd call it first, sorry I'm bad with words, I guess off the hard drive, if it can't find an OS to boot off the CD; the screen, however, just goes black instead of going straight to its second option, the CD, which works if it is made the default one. It makes me think I corrupted something. [21:58] this link is the pasted /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf -- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47036/ [21:58] hello all [21:58] lunks: private msg [21:58] what is the default root password after a fresh install of version 7.10 [21:58] ashkore: /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/alias.conf [21:58] any of you have ssh keys setup under ubuntu?

[21:59] hmm [21:59] yamo: there is no default root password. [21:59] in both places? then i don`t what could be...

[22:00] when i start ubuntu to install it, the progress screen comes up, and then a blank, orange screen comes. why does it do that? [22:00] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [22:00] Anyone here use ogmrip? [22:00] yamo: so? that's not the root password, just the user's password. [22:00] ok [22:00] anyone have a suggestion for a geo traceroute program? [22:00] kazil: check this: this is the /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/alias.conf file ----- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47041/ [22:01] ok, now that I've read that troubleshooting thing, anyone know why my sound isn't working? Everything looks fine, just no sound :) [22:01] ok, so no route user just the sudo to do all root commands [22:01] when i start ubuntu to install it, the progress screen comes up, and then a blank, orange screen comes. why does it do that? [22:01] anyone help? [22:01] kazil: and this is the /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf file --------- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47036/ [22:01] Defyence: sorry about the delay - doing 2 thinkgs at the same time [22:01] Will the GNOME Appearance panel work for XFCE? XFCE's Display panel will let your change themes, but doesn't give you the option of changing window colors. [22:02] willskills: i don't think there is any in the repositories [22:02] ashkore: No worries, still trying to figure out how to find out how much memory I have open on this thing anyway. :P [22:02] i've installed gutsy, but I get freezes and screen flickering when using desktop effects. is that known about? [22:02] I thought it said 18 gig when it offered to install.... [22:03] ashkore: it seems ok everything... [22:03] Defyence: so, when you set up the boot priorites in the BIOS to look for CD-ROM Booter first and then Hardrive it the CD-ROM Booter fails you just get a blank screen [22:03] hitane, what panel is it at the bottom in this screenshot? http://dagus.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/2007-11-28-182232_1400x1050_scrot.png :) [22:03] s/hitane/hi [22:03] :p [22:03] anyone know why my drives are not being shown in linux? fdisk -l only shows my boot drive, but other drives are mounted and working.... except one of them lol [22:03] and you won't have 18Gig of Memory i wouldn't have thought [22:03] that might be your hard drive [22:04] ashkore: Yeah, that's why I kinda raised an eyebrow and assumed I read the wrong thing. [22:04] so, what os are you in now? [22:04] The CD-ROM boot never fails, since it has the Ubuntu CD in. What does is the regular boot when set back to its normal config. [22:04] Ubuntu. [22:04] It's not installed on my machine, though; I'm running it off the CD. It's that, or nothing. [22:05] are you on the pc that is concerned [22:05] hi.. my ubuntu install runs very fine except the volu,e to HDA is pretty low than that on a win installation.. i am on a inspiron 15000. any ideas?

[22:05] Defyence: you need to get your memory amount [22:05] that was what ubuntu installed by default [22:05] ashkore: No worries, you're helping me. Why can I complain? [22:05] when I installed ubuntu [22:06] ashkore: Trying to find out where to see it... [22:06] does gutsy suck as a Xen dom0?

The problem is I used the supplied software to put a password on the drive. The software is unusable in leopard, so now I'm stuck with a harddrive that I cannot access. Is there anyway I could plug it into my ubuntu machine and manage to get around/disable the need for a password? [22:14] how do i fix "ImportError: No module named RandomArray" on ubuntu? [22:14] ashkore: That's why I was saying earlier I figured I didn't, because it would show that instead of reading no OS available and going to its second option in the boot order, the CD. [22:14] Slart: I have it in crontab /usr/bin/tightvncserver :1 should I add -geometry 800x600 [22:14] well im using a belkin wireless adapter and the ubuntu im using is the one i downloaded just yesterday [22:14] wazeem, I will also point you at madwifi [22:15] That's why I thought it significant that it would boot off the CD only if that was first in line.

[22:15] wazeem, a better idea is to plug a wire into the belkin and then connect to the internet and get online and you can try stuff while you are doing the mad stuff [22:15] Seivan|: yes.. tightvncserver :1 -geometry 800x600 [22:15] I have already found a way to demux ogms and convet ogg to wav [22:16] Actually not even "I don't think so", just no, it didn't.

[22:26] do you know the size of the disk/partition that windows is installed on? === DrUnKnMuNkY1 is now known as DrUnKnMuNkY [22:26] Not at all, but I'm guessing its sda1 [22:27] Since that's the only one with used memory, but it's only 3300 MB [22:27] And I thought it'd be much bigger than that.... [22:27] help, SEGFAULTS in fresh install of 7.10. mysqld segfaults on startup, as does nmbd. [22:27] what i dont get is that it picks up my network but just doesnt connect (doesnt even give a proper error, is this normal?) [22:27] Shadow147: I've got no idea -- the restricted driver just gave me a black screen when I tried to boot and I had to clear it in safe mode -- this one booted just fine and let compiz run despite the messy resolution, though. [22:27] wazeem, many branded cards contain the same chip sets - there is very little real difference (the joys of packaging and marketing) [22:28] hmm... [22:28] hello [22:28] what size is /dev/sda [22:28] Hi all, can someone please give me a download script (can it be done from adept?) with the current state of your packages? [22:28] The bigger the number of packages, the better. [22:28] I don't have an internet connection at home, so am looking to download as much as i can while i am at work. [22:28] Hello , is there any software to manage hardware raid ?

[22:29] . [22:29] Defyence: how big is /dev/sda [22:29] (i mean what size) [22:29] It doesn't say [22:29] sda1? [22:29] 57502 MB === DRPP is now known as D_ReaL_PuNiShEr [22:30] I need to demux a MKV file what package do I need? [22:30] d10b I believe $1 $2 etc will work [22:30] what i dont get is that it picks up my network but just doesnt connect (doesnt even give a proper error, is this normal?) [22:30] wazeem: can be with a driver issue. [22:30] thats about 57-58GB [22:30] http://xrl.us/bcffs cli, http://xrl.us/bcffu the python. can anyone help? i have python-numeric installed. why not work?

[22:30] Hmm [22:31] Free space is the same size about [22:31] 57.6 GB [22:31] hey, i tried that dvd thing, but i use vlc instead of totem. The problem is that vlc doesnt see either dvd drive that i have [22:31] that seems bad [22:31] actuall [22:31] y [22:31] Hey, i have a linksys wireless game adapter that i need to assign a router password to, but linksys only has the set up wizard software for windows. Is there a way to do it without it? [22:31] Pike what steps can i take to check if the driver is compatible [22:32] and ubuntu cant even read the dvd disc when i put it in, it says that there is no media to mount [22:32] how big is sda54 [22:32] *sda5 [22:32] 4.9 GB [22:32] wazeem: what card do you have [22:32] 0 of which is used [22:33] usb belkin adapter [22:33] does it tell you how much is used on each partition? [22:33] the driver windows uses is something like [22:33] rt2500 [22:33] im not entirely sure about that though [22:34] Hey guys, anyone know anything about a new copy protection Sony is using to prevent you from playing DVD's on your Computer in Ubuntu? [22:34] Defyence: does it give the used space for each partition? [22:34] I'm having some issues with Compiz Fusion, can anybody help? [22:34] wazeem: have you condsidered using the window driver?

Free space has none listed, sda1 has 3.3 GB used, and sda5 has none used. [22:34] by default it seems like many of the ports are blocked on ubuntu [22:34] what file must i edit to unblock [22:34] By default nothing is blcoked. [22:34] hullo all [22:35] how much stuff do you have installed on XP? [22:35] i cant seem to telnet or ftp in [22:35] hardeep: sudo iptables -L should tell you that nothing is being blocked as only rules are accept [22:35] has anyone tried initng on Gutsy? [22:35] if you need a service to run, install it. [22:35] ie: install telnet or an ftp server. [22:35] hardeep: that's because those services are disabled by default.. [22:35] because if sda1 only has 3.3GB that means about 1.5-2.0GB is just windows [22:35] Though of course you want to run ssh, not telnet. [22:35] Pike - Im so new to ubuntu and linux i dont know what i should look out for an what not to [22:35] or how the system works [22:35] ok, disabled thats probably it [22:35] On XP? I made my D drive separate from my C, and my C is where I put my windows stuff on. [22:35] wazeem, read that page and it will tell you just like the links I have given you [22:36] i enabled the root account, not sure why they think its easier using sudo [22:36] D has my entertainment, such as games and music. [22:36] i think its stupid [22:36] anyway im gonna go into ubuntu and try play around with the ubuntu settings [22:36] I don't have too much, either. [22:36] and ompaul [22:36] thanks for your help too [22:36] im gonna try some stuff i seen [22:36] wazeem: well ive never used ndiswrapper but see that link ubotu posted to you it should tell you how to go about using the windows driver [22:36] hardeep: disabled or not installed.. even when you install things they are usually disabled until you configurate them.. or they are set to some safe defaults.. such as you can only connect to the machine from the machine itself.. ie it binds to 127.0.0.1 [22:36] is Drive D a partition of Drive C or is it a seperate hard drive [22:36] configurate.. is that even a word.. I need some sleep =) [22:37] ashkore: Argh, I forgot how I did it; lemme go check, I think someone who was with me might remember.... [22:37] cant even connect to itself [22:37] well... is there 2 hard drives in your system? [22:37] hardeep: when you login as root *everything* is run as root.. that might not be smart.. using sudo only the stuff you chose is run as root.. [22:37] physical hard drives [22:37] ashkore: Yes, the D is part of the C drive. [22:37] hardeep, you have been told how to make things available - you seem to be arguing with no one - strange that [22:37] Slart: and whats the worst that could happen running everything as root/ [22:38] can you remember how much you partitioned it by? [22:38] what does ubuntu designate as my dvd drive? /dev/hdc?? [22:38] arguing? [22:38] Hey everyone, I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 with Gnome and was wondering if there is any problems with installing software for KDE, being that I'm using Gnome would there be any conflicts? [22:38] fenderbender: depends on your imagination =) [22:38] fenderbender:> like totally messing up the root's powers [22:38] hardeep, suggesting sudo is stupid, well you are entitled your opinion, and I know you are wrong ;-) [22:38] abadtooth: no ubuntu is debian based and as such handles lib dependancies and such seamlessly usually [22:38] ok, thats fine [22:39] help, SEGFAULTS. mysqld segfaults on startup, as does nmbd. gdb says both are "not recognized as executable". strace just goes straight to segfault [22:39] pike_: okay thanks :D was wanting to install amarok... [22:39] Defyence: Can you remember how much you partitioned the drive by? [22:39] ashkore: No, sorry... [22:39] what is on your drive D:? [22:39] abadtooth: amarok, ktorren, k3b are kde apps alot of ubuntu users have on gnome desktops np [22:39] im used to using AIX, so its quite diff [22:39] Entertainment like music and games... [22:39] fenderbender: a malicious program that runs rm -r / [22:40] and what is on drive C [22:40] ashkore: One of them's a fat32 and one's a swap if it helps. [22:40] Stuff like Windows and Program Files [22:40] FAT32 is a windows partition [22:40] swap is linux [22:40] hardeep, that is as different as sun and aix and vms [22:40] That's what I thought [22:41] do you know how much in total your hard drive is? [22:41] No, how can I check? [22:41] hardeep, strongly suggest you glance at http://help.ubuntu.com/community [22:41] pike_: thats good, I remember I had a ubuntu 6 something install and had installed the KDE desktop for ubuntu so I could use either Gnome or KDE, but it was very buggy at that time, I wasn't sure if it could happen by installing KDE apps or not, but thanks again, now I can use Amarok WooHoo :P [22:41] System->Administration->System Monitor [22:41] the the last tab [22:42] it will list all your drives, including partitions [22:42] . [22:42] ok, ill check that page out, [22:42] It' [22:42] s blank. [22:42] whats blank? [22:42] hardeep, it is like redbooks for ubuntu [22:42] ... [22:43] The thing you just told me to go to.

[22:43] yes for now [22:43] and the system monitor - then start the system monitor again [22:44] Still nothing. [22:44] hmm...? [22:44] Yay, I solved it. [22:44] I went to edit preferences show all file systems. [22:44] hehe [22:44] can anyone help me get MySQL to start?

[22:45] ompaul, yea just took a quick glance, [22:45] hi all [22:45] Yup [22:45] npodges: just unmount them.. [22:45] npodges: in which wm? [22:45] can you list them [22:45] gnome [22:45] Sure, there are 9 devices total [22:45] but there's another way, i remember [22:46] udev, devpts, devshm, tmpfs, proc, sysfs, tmpfs, varlock, and varrun, all with different directories. [22:46] npodges: i'm using xfce atm so i can't remember [22:46] puplin, ah mkay. thanks anyhow [22:46] small anoyance i have an Xubuntu and i have the most anoying of problems ever 20mins the screen turns off this is after turning DPMS off killing ACPI APM ACPID um and turning screensaver off its there anyother way to enforce the system to stay active????? [22:46] npodges: i''m pretty sure there's a way [22:47] hmm... your hard drives arn't listed [22:47] it might only work on fully installed ubunutu [22:47] Hmm... [22:47] Should I try installing it again then? [22:47] yes [22:48] Aight then. Manual again? [22:48] I have a question about Ubuntu 7.10 server if I may [22:48] yep [22:48] well i am going to sleep on installing mad wifi and try again some other time when i am not tired [22:48] then on sda5 [22:48] Can I use GNOME's appearance manager in XFCE? I can't change window colors or install themes in XFCE's themes settings. [22:48] love irc [22:48] Aight.

[22:48] Ubuntu is cool [22:48] and how much is used? [22:49] Doesn't say anything [22:49] Wait, 0 [22:49] so all is free? [22:49] And if I can what package do I install to get that? [22:49] Yup [22:49] ive unistalled ACPI and killed every power managment feature i know of i need the screen to stay active its a monitoring box for work [22:49] Installed a Promise IDE controller in my existing Ubuntu server and attached a CDROM drive, can't seem to see the CDROM so I'm wondering how I check to see if Ubuntu sees the controller? [22:49] can anyone help me start mySQL? [22:49] i would say that is enough space to install ubuntu - and its clean so you wont be wiping anything [22:49] Aight then [22:50] so if you can, choose to install on sda5 [22:50] hello [22:50] sumonish, and make sure the screensaver is off [22:50] ubuntu made me cheat on microsoft [22:50] Can anyone help with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3898065 [22:50] done and uninstalled Xscreensaver........

[22:50] is there someting within GDM that does powermanagement?? [22:50] Defyence, when setting up the install mark the first ubuntu partition as "bootable = yes" [22:51] sumonish, no [22:51] hmmm [22:51] what command should i write to burn a.iso file? [22:51] ompaul: Thanks, but where do I check that? [22:51] Was the guy with the missing "Big 5-0" ntfs volume able to get help? [22:52] alguem é brazileiro? [22:52] are there no instructions on the screen at all Defyence [22:52] !br [22:52] Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [22:52] It says specify a partition as well as a swap [22:53] which one is swap? [22:53] The sda5 is a swap [22:53] hm.. [22:53] i don't think you can use sda5 as swap and root [22:53] sda1 is a fat32, which confused my father since he says I don't have that on my machine. [22:54] sda1 is likely some system recovery partition if it's fat32 [22:54] Hmm, but wouldn't it be smaller than 57 GB if it was? [22:55] i have another idea [22:55] back [22:55] can you go back to the menu where you selected manual [22:55] Defyence: Yes, usually something like 4Gb [22:55] Sure [22:55] Thanks genii [22:55] are you back at the menu? [22:56] does ubuntu have good dual 64-bit proc support [22:56] !64 [22:56] AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/jv6tc for more information. [22:56] Will be in half a second [22:56] KK, yup [22:56] boa noite a todos [22:56] ok [22:56] then can you choose an option to shrink by a percentage? [22:56] It recommends partition #1 sda [22:56] recentemente compilei e instalei a versão em desenvolvimento do XFCe [22:56] Does anyone know how to make a delayed reboot and then to stop the reboot? [22:56] Yes [22:56] tá legal demais [22:56] magic_ninja: 64 bit works very nicely with ubuntu.. even flash works in the latest ubuntu [22:56] you say recommends? is there another one? [22:57] porem notei um erro ao adicionar ao painel a área de notificação [22:57] Slart: will i still be able to run 32 bit apps [22:57] It doesn't say that, that's my word. [22:57] magic_ninja: yes [22:57] magic_ninja: unless you have a good reason to use 64bit, you should use 32bit on a desktop system [22:57] aparece que o módulo systray não está carregado. o que fazer? [22:57] ashkore: It says "Guided - resize SCSI1 (0,0,0(, partition #1 (sda) and used free space" [22:57] crdlb: why so/ [22:57] Then New partition size: 51% (53.5 GB) [22:57] crdlb: any reasons why? [22:57] wpk: because there are no advantages [22:58] which means youve got about 100GB hard drive in your pc [22:58] it has higher performance for high-end calculation, but desktops don't do that [22:58] crdlb: so i would wanna go with an i386 if i get dual 64 bit procs (notice i'm talking dual 64 bit not just 1 64 bit [22:58] crdlb: have you tested that? [22:58] it's more work for no gain [22:58] Closer to 120 it sounds like, considering everything added together === Spec is now known as x-spec-t [22:58] crdlb: but why chose 32-bit? what isn't working on 64-bit now? [22:58] crdlb: dual 64bit CPUs also both run 32bit apps just fine :-) [22:58] i would shrink the New partition size down to 15GB [22:58] crdlb: have you tested that? [22:59] wpk: there are lots of benchmarks [22:59] Slart: 32 bit apps [22:59] KK [22:59] hi, how can i check the type of ISO of a given iso file? [22:59] crdlb: even flash works automagically these days.. as I found out recently =) [22:59] 14.7 GB sound good? Seems appropriate enough... [22:59] crdlb: link? [22:59] I'm having more and more problems with file permissions [23:00] can ubuntu support 8bit and 24bit color modes simultaneously? [23:00] wpk: showing what exactly? [23:00] magic_ninja: 32 bit apps work on 64 bit ubuntu... with 7.04 some stuff weren't available for 64-bit.. like flash and java.. but I think that's changed now [23:00] Defyence: Be careful with this step. Be sure you know which partition is which!!! [23:00] hello back after testing and struggling [23:00] I thought that as administrator I could do anything, but I find that if I'm not logged in as root, I can't update many files [23:00] Thanks Odd-rationale. :) [23:00] crdlb: advantages of 32bit over 64bit [23:00] Slart: There is still no current working java plugin. [23:00] well i'm thinking of building a new system but if i do build a new one i'm getting dual 64 bit procs [23:00] I love the input everyone gives, it's quite fun, heh. [23:00] help: I cannot call any help from programs anymore! if I press F1 in any application, I get the errormessage: an error occured during showing the help: error at executing the command related to this location.... sth. there is no problem with online help, but local help files [23:00] lol [23:00] Can anybody help with security? [23:01] So commit to a 14% partition of my sda? [23:01] cafuego: hmm.. what I am running then... hang on.. [23:01] hey guys, i was just wondering if anyone knows of an app that lets you browse wireless internet connections that are in range, or if there's already a way to do it in ubuntu [23:01] i suppose [23:01] Defyence: One time I wanted to make my ubuntu partition to be 10 gb. So I slid the slider to 10 gb. i ended shrinking windows to 10 gb :( [23:01] So anyone have any ideas if Ubuntu can support 24bit color and 8bit color modes simultaneously in one Xdisplay [23:01] wpk: it's just less tested and newer, and there are no *advantages* [23:01] to 64bit [23:01] i think that will keep data but shrink the partition [23:01] crdlb: speed? [23:01] it's not faster for a desktop [23:02] cafuego: I'm running icedtea on my 64 bit firefox.. don't know how compatible that is.. but it works [23:02] you're not doing tons of floating-point calculations [23:02] magic_ninja: With a 64bit OS you get better io bandwidth, so all my servers run 64bit Linux. For desktops though, it hardly matters. 99.9% of the time the system is waiting for user input and that woudl still take equally long on even a 256bit box ;-) [23:02] Slart: Yeah, I have that installed too. Doesn't work on a CMS system, Tax office site or meeting web-app :-( [23:02] there is a certain level of risk to this so if you fairly sure that it looks right go ahead [23:02] crdlb: well yes I am, but it doesn't matter [23:02] thats fine because i'm going to be doing alot of intense gaming [23:03] wpk: if you are, then use 64bit [23:03] magic_ninja: If you want to use 64 bit, that's fine. Just realize that it may require additional configuration. [23:03] most people aren't [23:03] Defyence: made a choice? [23:03] and i'm building a new computer to last me another 7 years [23:03] i am on commandline irc via ssh..i am officially a nerd [23:03] i'm currently reading up on the dchroot [23:03] magic_ninja: Also, the compiler is a lot more optimised for 32bit than it is 64bit, so there are trade-offs. [23:03] cafuego: ah... well.. I can't say I browse to anything java-heavy... might be why I haven't noticed [23:03] hey guys, i was just wondering if anyone knows of an app that lets you browse wireless internet connections that are in range, or if there's already a way to do it in ubuntu [23:03] Slart: Mebbe 8.04 will fix it. We'll see. [23:03] ubuntu has a package that does that [23:04] suttin: nm-applet. enable wireless roaming [23:04] Defyence? [23:04] there you og [23:04] cafuego: well.. java is getting more and more open so let's hope so [23:04] gp* [23:04] suttin: Should come with default ubuntu installation [23:04] odd: do i just type that into the terminal? [23:04] as long as 32 bit ubuntu will work with dual 64 bit procs then thats all i need, i'll just use that until 64 bit becomes more recognized [23:05] Hi. This is a non-ubuntu specific issue (but for ubuntu in my case). I installed ubuntu on a flash pen drive and successfully booted it on a couple of machines... Now i found out my own machine doesn't even have an USB option in the BIOS. only cd, floppy, hard drive and network. Is there any way to make the BIOS boot from USB drive without completely changing it? And if not, how do i update... [23:05] ...or change bios and what are the good alternatives (OpenBios??) [23:05] suttin: do you have a wireless card on that box? [23:05] Thanks! [23:05] hey, any idea how to get ubuntu to see the wireless card [23:05] yes angel [23:05] suttin: Do you have the network manager in the notification area? [23:05] crdlb: besides, what cpu-specific optimizations does 32bit ubuntu have? [23:05] I have this game adapter, that receives wireless signal and coverts them to lan lines, so you can plug it into an xbox, for example. But now, i am trying to hook it up to my linux tower. [23:05] But the wireless signal is password protected, how can i tell the game adapter a password (the software to normally do it is only for windows) [23:05] Defyence: are you still there? [23:06] cyrano, you could setup grub on your hdd or on a floppy and select the usb drive from it [23:06] Is there a way to convert a primary partition to a logical partition with GParted? [23:06] The card works but ifconfig doesnt list it [23:06] Odd-rationale: i dont nee a notification area [23:06] pelo: Ok! How? [23:06] see* [23:06] FrankLakatos-> did you ever find the manual for that device and read how to configure it? [23:06] wpk: none? they might -mtune to i686 ... [23:06] SpookyET: why would you want that? [23:07] crdlb: it can't use any of the i686 cpu ALU instructions [23:07] suttin: go to admin -> network, then [23:07] greenmanspirit-> internal plugin card? [23:07] Defyence: Are you having problems? [23:07] andi5: Because I want one extended partition containing all logical partitions [23:07] odd: ok [23:08] can you have pseudocolor emulation on ubuntu? [23:08] But I have one primary that's 37.05GiB giving me problems. I want to convert it to a logical and add it to that extended partition [23:08] suttin: go to add and remove apps and search for wireless, you should see different options there. be mindful though, this is linux not MS, you have to do a littl more work to get your drivers to work. ubuntu is great and finding them but not perfect. [23:08] suttin: Do you see "Wireless connections?

[23:08] suttin:> if you want to search for a wireless connection use sudo dhclient [23:08] Does anybody has time for a weird problem with /etc/sudoers? [23:08] cyrano, on your usb pendrive ubuntu installation there should be a /boot/grub/.... folder, you need to have grub stage 1 on a bootable device point to that, the easier way I can think of is make a boot floppy , and install grub phase one on it, I guess you could do this with the supergrub cd , you can get from the grub site, but for a direct link, check the links ubotu will give you in a minute, I think the link is on the last link ubo [23:08] t will give , somewhre toward the bottom of the page or you can try an google for super grub cd [23:09] has anyone successfully installed a good media server on ubuntu? [23:09] suttin: I forgot to ask, is your wireless working right now? [23:09] andi5: Yeah, that's the idea.

I have search about it, but is not easy as is difficult to capture the problem using "keywords" at google :-S [23:14] maximander: anything wrong in dmesg? [23:14] no. [23:14] Bigcheese-> i believe sound in ubuntu seems to be the most problematic and i see it here people complain about it [23:14] maximander: try memcheck on running system [23:14] Pelo: OK [23:14] nvm [23:14] and gdb says that mysqld and nmbd aren't executables [23:14] Flare183:mtp is a protocol not a server [23:14] hectorpal, use the command you used as a search string [23:14] Pelo: I didn't find any tutorial on the grup webpage [23:14] but they are certainly binary [23:14] I actually see every unix based os have problems with it :P (freeBSD, Linux, etc...) [23:14] can anyone here give me instructions on how to add a USB boot option to grup? [23:14] !mtp [23:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about mtp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:15] sorry, grub!! [23:15] cyrano: booting from the usb is a bios option afaik [23:15] cyrano, not a tutorial, you want the link to the super grub cd , you boot from that and it lets you install grub anywhere and it also lets you specify where stage 1 and stage 2 go [23:15] suttin: You there? Try to /join #odd-rationale [23:15] kelsin, we are looking for a workarund, not all mobo can boot from usb [23:16] maximander: hm... [23:16] Pelo: ahhh, ok :) good luck [23:16] maximander: which mysqld? /etc/init.d/mysqld ? [23:16] maximander: it's a shell script [23:16] when running ubuntu off of a CD, is it normal for it to be slow? [23:16] kelsin, no luck needed, he needs to boot from a floppy whit grub installed on it [23:16] specscript: for program startup yes [23:16] okay, thanks [23:16] or any file access [23:16] ciao !! [23:16] Is there a better file system than ext3? [23:16] specscript: yes.. it uses memory for a virtual root drive.. so less memory for cache etc [23:17] but actual non io speed should be the same [23:17] wpk: no, /usr/sbin/mysqld [23:17] Pelo: and from there grub has the capability to load from a usb drive? [23:17] SpookyET, ext3 is the current fav in linux [23:17] Flare183: gnump3d is good and easy but hard to customize. i want to set up playlists and it does not seem to do it nicely [23:17] maximander: what FS? [23:17] Pelo: reiser4? [23:17] maximander: what does file /usr/sbin/mysqld [23:17] how do I add an environment variable to my profile? [23:17] HI ALL !

Do i need to install Grub on my flash drive? Problem is I can't access my flash drive before my operating system is running! [23:17] kelsin, pretty much, the menu will point to the kernel on the usb partiton [23:17] anybody know how i can get bittorrent to go faster [23:17] SpookyET: depends on what you're going to do with it... many small files.. large files.. lots of changes etc.. google for ext3, reiserfs, xfs.. there's probably more out there [23:17] angel:> well that beats me [23:17] webmaren: ask the senator for more tubes [23:17] Pelo: didn't know the usb subsystem was even available then :) have to try that later, thanks [23:17] :-) Repeating my question: I add a line like that to my sudoers: myuser ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/myprogram, but when I do sudo /usr/bin/myprogram it still ask for the password [23:17] Can someone point me in the right direction to uninstall a program installed via source (VMWare Server in particular) [23:18] my first ubuntu login under VMware section..!! [23:18] cyrano, no, you want to install grub on a boot floppy, and make the boot floppy grub find the /boot/grub folder on your usb flash drive [23:18] trying to get kubuntu 8.04 herd 1 but it says ETA: 19days [23:18] !root | hectorpal [23:18] hectorpal: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:18] Anything simple (even CLI) to make some still jpg shots into a short footage?

Only a floppy option in BIOS :P [23:19] cyrano, join me in #grub [23:19] hectorpal: that looks good to me, did you use visudo to edit to make sure there were no errors in the file? [23:19] wpk: strace goes straight to segfault [23:19] ubotu, reading your answer [23:19] genii: "short footage"?? you mean a movie?

[23:33] !best > SpookyET (SpookyET, see the private message from Ubotu) [23:33] SpookyET, optimal is relative to your disk size and what you are wanting to do [23:33] lex: I use k9copy [23:33] genii: I do that to assemble up rendered single frames into a "rush print" of an animation ;-) [23:33] EnderTheThird: I'm not familiar with vmware [23:33] metanil: just don't do that here, everyone saw it the first time [23:33] bruenig: Disk size 100GB. Do, mostly desktop, some server related as well since I web design. [23:33] the channel is flowing so fast, I know what it needs, spam!! [23:34] there is any way to convert flv file to mp3? [23:34] genii: stupid me installed it before .deb's were available and now it's hogging too much space when all I need is VirtualBox, heh [23:34] Are there any advanced mouse configuration packages out there? [23:34] no-one knows where the framebuffers are ? Are there even framebuffers on gusty ? [23:34] bruenig: Not sure why it's \ and not / but it's from an example, I didn't write it [23:34] MasterShrek, you about mate ? [23:34] when i run ubuntu in safe graphics mode, how can i run the install program? [23:34] I asked the same question in the forums a couple of days ago and I got zero replies ... [23:34] hello can someone help me please [23:34] SpookyET, I'd say 10-15 gig / partition and the rest /home [23:34] Jack_Sparrow: when i go to use that, i click the "create mpeg-4", the dialog pops up to start, then it goes away after a few seconds [23:34] SpookyET, http://www.linuxsa.org.au/tips/disk-partitioning.html [23:34] is it just me or is ubuntu support getting less and less enthusiastic as the releases go by ? === serge is now known as sea4ever [23:34] SpookyET, the more server stuff you are thinking about the higher on / you want to go [23:34] i hear about this bug, that ubuntu has, that kills most laptops harddrives [23:35] lex: dvdrip, I think [23:35] ibanez: yeah, it's bogus [23:35] !hdbug > ibanez (ibanez, see the private message from Ubotu) [23:35] bruenig: I want / /boot /usr /var /tmp /home /swap etc [23:35] genii, well *.jpg I assume is meant to be expanded by bash to say all of the jpgs, seems odd that it is being escaped is all [23:35] sup ibanez [23:35] !hdbug > ibanez [23:35] SpookyET, why? [23:35] thank you LjL [23:35] gordonjcp, that's the only that won't rip it all the way and fails [23:35] SpookyET, all on different partitions?

May I assume you have all your codecs restricted drivers and installed K9 from the ubuntu repos? [23:35] please can someone help me regarding wireless internet connections [23:35] in which repository can I find the kplayer? [23:35] bruenig: It will act as a limited server as well. So yeah, all on different partitions. I just need to know the optimal sizes [23:36] right. it's not just me then ... [23:36] in theory it doesn't seem right to me [23:36] !wifi | waz [23:36] waz: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:36] SpookyET, do you have any reason why you want them all on different partitions? [23:36] adac2: i don't know of a kplayer [23:36] XP would use just as much disk usage under high loads. [23:36] bruenig: Works, anyhow :) [23:36] where did all the real linux hackers go ? [23:36] !wifi [23:36] jack sparrow what was your message meant to mean? [23:36] bruenig: Yeah. I do. I just need the optimal sizes. [23:36] Jack_Sparrow, i think so. k9copy just gave me: An error occured while running DVDAuthor: ERR: procremap encountered unknown subtitle command: 90 [23:36] Can anyone help with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3898065 [23:36] LjL-Temp: http://kplayer.sourceforge.net/ [23:37] SpookyET, so you don't want to say the reason or...

[23:38] LjL-Temp: well I know...but why it isn't in any repository? [23:38] metanil, you were just told that [23:39] repeating my question: I add a line like that to my sudoers: myuser ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/myprogram, but when I do sudo /usr/bin/myprogram it still ask for the password [23:39] hi [23:39] oh btw i have read the docs [23:39] adac2, there's plenty of software that's not in the repositories. if you want to fix that, join #ubuntu-motu, read the topic and start learning about packaging :) [23:39] anybody?
