[00:00] * nickrud was wondering what humorous thing to write about umbuntu, but soundray_ cut to the chase :) [00:00] its not that hard to spell, given you're using a keyboard [00:00] or a brain [00:00] littlebear72: skills? no, lucky encounters? perhaps haha [00:00] umbuntu [00:00] lol [00:00] hmm some people are getting mean these days [00:00] lol [00:01] answer all your questions [00:01] i don't think thats mean [00:01] no such thing as mean [00:01] hah i was kidding [00:01] just absence of kindness :P [00:01] I have a broken software RAID1 that drops to BusyBox upon boot. Does anyone have any suggestions/urls that might help? [00:01] TigranG, yes [00:01] i have tried it 3 times now and each time something went wrong in my life and i did not have time to learn ubu / nix and needed the comfort of a simplistic program like windoze lol [00:01] can someone reccommend me a good download manager other than Kget? something as good as free-download-manager on Windows in case anyone's heard of it [00:01] soldats: arithmetic, harmonic or geometric mean? [00:01] soundray_: HOw can I change the sample rate in audacity then... I should probably restart to clear whatever is using the soundcard and start from there [00:01] i knew windoze well so i use it when my life runs amok [00:02] finally fixed my apt-cacher! whew! [00:02] bamsamba, Downthemall [00:02] read those books and you will be aswering all the questions [00:02] littlebear72: my main desktop runs windows, my laptop ubuntu - desktop does....games...thats it haha [00:02] * TigranG tried to compile a kernel yesterday and learned he's dumber than he thought [00:02] when i get to login screen the font size is really big, cant read ok, after login ubuntu prompts a window saying that the X-conf and the GNOME-conf files have different keyboard values.. Do you know ehat goes wrong? [00:02] soundray_, hah you got me [00:02] littlebear72: use my laptop for everything else, including work stuff (in a windows environment) [00:02] * nickrud thinks compiling a kernel is not a measure of intelligence, but of perseverance [00:02] littlebear72, i run it on virtual box :P [00:02] aleka: sounds like a good plan. Sorry, I'm not the best guy to advise on audio issues, contrary to what my nick might be seen to suggest [00:03] nickrud: well I got it lol, wasn't hard actually, just took forever [00:03] Heh.. that is what led me to believe you would be the 'perfect' person to bother :) [00:03] and then I was too lazy to build ndiswrapper for my wifi so I just went back to 2.6.22 [00:03] the one real sound expert doesn't come around much anymore ;( [00:03] crimsun: would you mind having a look at aleka's issue? [00:04] IamReck, well isnt downthemall a firefox ext? i can't find that using apt-get [00:04] bamsamba, yes it is, it runs with in firefox and its amazing. [00:04] aleka, what was your initial problem [00:05] Hi, installede the kde desk-top but didn't like it - anyway, this caused umbutu to upgrade itself to kumbutu - login screen, duel desktop log, etc. How to i return it to the single boot, one desktop state? I am assuming a long command line. Anyone help? :-) [00:05] heh, ok, lemme try [00:05] * bascule knows compiling kernels is easy, configuring them takes practice and knowledge [00:05] soldats: What is a good application to record stereo output from my soundcard other than Audacity? For some reason audcacity is not working for me and am wondering what other options there are... [00:05] soundray_: I lack backscroll. What's the summary?

[00:09] i followed the steps on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile to compile [00:09] hiya folks. got an interesting little tickler for you. I've got a gutsy install I've been trying to convert to netbooted - so far it's gone pretty well.. the pxelinux.0 is doing its thing and the kernel with initrd image is loading. But during boot the kernel panics. just before that I see http://www.pastebin.ca/808879 - so I think maybe it's trying to initialise eth0 when it doesn't have to and is consequently losing /. [00:09] fabio_: you don't really need headers if you have the complete source [00:10] hmm but nvidia-installer is complaining [00:10] has anyone used azureus html web gui here? doesn't seem to be working on my installation [00:10] that it can't find the include/linux/version.h file [00:10] i used --kernel-source-path pointing to my source [00:10] my usb pads show up in device manager but dont respond in gxmame can somebody help please [00:11] aleka, have you tried jokosher [00:11] its more advanced but im not sure why audacity isnt working [00:11] why does rsync start as a service on startup? [00:11] soldats: Will do...didn't think it was stable enough last time I looked at it... Thanks~ [00:11] sharpie: because it's a service] [00:11] kitche: but it's run manually [00:11] aleka, hmm i heard it was stable but id look into it if you really want to edit music [00:12] sharpie: umm the client does [00:12] sharpie: but it's also a daemon [00:12] kitche: that does..what? [00:12] sharpie: so rsync the client can be used to rsync files [00:13] soldats: My basic need right now is being able to record playing music (kinda like replay radio in windows)... have stuff on my rhapsody playlist I want to record [00:13] question...i have just installed ubuntu...and im stuck in 800x600 and i wanna chuk my monitor out the window [00:13] aleka: You can try Sound Recorder [00:13] dyerotic: Hold off on that option for a few [00:13] aleka: it comes with ubuntu [00:13] what do you mean Jack_Sparrow?? i cant stand 800x600 and i tried that guide on the website and it didnt help [00:13] dyerotic: from cli.. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:13] kitche: so..if i disable it, i won't be able to rsync? [00:13] ive done that i believe, and it still messes me up [00:14] dyerotic: Vesa driver will get you 1024x768 if you get locked out [00:14] im gonna do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:14] and see how it goes [00:14] sharpie: you can use rsync without rsyncd, but with reduced capabilities [00:14] soldats , TigranG >> Thanks [00:15] soundray_: what do you mean by "reduced capabilities"? [00:15] ok so i should choice vesa Jack_Sparrow? [00:15] soundray_: what won't i be able to do? [00:15] sharpie: no you will be able to but you just can't rsync files from that computer to another [00:15] aleka: What I did to get recording working is in Volume Control increase the 'In Gain' [00:15] aleka, ahh i get what you need. im not too sure but i think jokosher should suffice for now if it works. i do recording for bands but i use more professionla recording eqiptment for tha [00:15] dyerotic: try to setup your video card and monitor to their specs, but if you cant get it go to veas to get back here [00:15] kitche: oh, meaning that if i only rsync locally between drives, i can cancel the daemon? [00:15] compiz fusion is working in my gutsy, how can i customize it [00:15] None of those links did anything, I've already ran through the troubleshooting before. [00:15] why does my screen go black for a second, everytime i start a video? [00:15] ati video card+fglrx drivers [00:15] ok ill try [00:15] sharpie: rsync with rsyncd can sync files by transferring only the differing parts, for example.

[00:16] hahahah [00:17] soundray_: so if i only rsync locally, can i safely disable rsyncd? [00:17] lol [00:17] onats: I think there is [00:17] sharpie: it's safe to disable it in any case [00:17] onats: with VLC player [00:17] justinh: why dont you need the network?

It's a tough problem. As long as the ubuntu community asks people to do things "by hand" we aren't really offering any real alternative to commerical OSes...so maybe there'll be a better solution soon....

[00:42] um, reading that link doesn't answer my question- it's probably something really basic, but... I'd rather not make a mistake here. [00:42] I prefer the simpler method, and refuse any hardware I cant recomplie the drivers for [00:42] hairs2long: I'll have another play with initrd & see how I get on. if not, then I'll go with building my own kernel for a trip down memory lane. and if that doesn't work I could always buy a big usb stick ;) [00:42] Zog: well, we aren't mind readers.

Now i'm trying to install ubuntu 6.9 (not 100 percent on the version), and i'm at the partitoin screen. Need to know what I do to make sure it installs on the second 10 gig partition, and the format the third partition as ext2 [00:44] * [00:44] anybody had experience using "3" wireless broadband internet, the modem is a merlin xu870, and ubuntu does detect it when its inserted. the problem is that a wireless connection doesn't appear in the network settings app [00:45] * [00:45] check out whirlpool forums gunspoja that has prolly got a better more australian list of experience i am assumeing yoru a aussie [00:45] hey all. can someone tell me why the super+C command doesn't work in amaroK in 7.10? why am i being ignored?

[00:46] Zog: just need to do the partitioning using the "manual" method (at least that's what it is in current installers), and then set up your partitions how you want [00:46] you been to whirlpool forums ? [00:46] xcst: sure emerald is in gutsy might have ot install it though [00:46] Zog: what vesion of ubuntu are you using?... 6.9 doesn't exist..look Help/About Ubuntu [00:46] !anyone | MLeBlanc [00:46] MLeBlanc: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[00:47] MLeBlanc: perfect, you run in opengl, if you have a good graphics card and working drivers then it runs fine [00:47] soccer_hawk10, i thought the spacebar does that. try looking at the preferences menu i believe there is a key config menu for it. if there isnt im not sure. i haven t used it in a while [00:47] kelnsin: Might a 6600GT qualify as a good graphics card? I know it's a bit old. [00:47] MLeBlanc, depends on your system [00:47] ciao [00:47] okay, after manual, I'm guessing I set the bootable flag as on- and... then what do i need to set? ext2, or ext3? [00:47] How do I use S-Video out with Ubuntu? [00:48] :list [00:48] soundray_, in dmesg, there are a bunch of messages saying that it detected a GSM modem [00:48] MLeBlanc: if it runs wow in windows good enough for you, then it will do the same with linux [00:48] w0ot fixed my hibernate [00:48] xcst: i didnt understand the question... you can us the normal compiz gtk decorator [00:48] just changed how it put the computer into hibernate [00:48] soldats: What would you say about Xubuntu on an AMD Athlon 2600+, 1GB ram, nVidia GeForce 6600GT [00:48] soldats: nah, this is universal. it controls amarok from any screen. using the Super+B command, for example, skips the song even if i'm using firefox or any other program. i tried to change the shortcut key, but none work [00:49] hello...I am installing linux for the first time, Ubuntu 7.10 on a P3 1GHz with 256mb of RAM. On the install screen , I looked at the help and it said I needed 384 mb of RAM to install it. I googled for more info, and supposedly I can use other memory managers than Gnome, but how do I install the OS in the first place so I can replace Gnome? [00:49] Just reinstalled - wasn't there an art manager once? [00:49] amarok owns [00:49] kelsin: I am considering this for an install on an old PC, I have never tried running WoW on it. [00:49] weith, most software is 32bit anyway [00:49] gunspoja: I see -- in that case you shouldn't be looking for a wireless interface. Configure ppp instead. [00:49] MLeBlanc, hah that should run pretty good as far as i now but i think WOW prefers to run with 2gigs of ram [00:49] soundray_, how do i do that? I've never used wireless before :( [00:49] Zog: i dont' usually use the Live CD, but is there an option to like, "Use free space" or something like that [00:49] soldats: Alrighty, I'll give it a shot. Thanks a lot! [00:49] Rafabe, the reason you need 384 is becuase the cd is a live install... i would suggest installed xubuntu on that machine [00:49] rafabe: you might want to consider a different distro or an older version of ubuntu [00:49] Rafabe: download the alternate cd and use that to install a command line system, or just to complete the normal installation. At either point you can then install any other packages you want (including other light wight windows managers) [00:49] gunspoja: System-Administration-Network-Modem connection [00:49] tek: will it give me the option to use Xubuntu on the installation if I proceed? [00:50] soccer_hawk10, hmm sorry i havent used it in a while if the commands or config dont work id try the amarok main site [00:50] errr...huh [00:50] soldats: alright, thanks [00:50] erUSUL, how about the themes? how can i install it? the theme files are all .emerald [00:50] is that a program or something i need to run in a terminal? [00:50] DIL: that's only true for closed source software [00:50] gunspoja: does dmesg give you any indication of the device name? [00:50] whats the command if i want to uninstall an application? [00:50] timotimotimo that is borderline ridiculous advice to Rafabe [00:50] kelsin: so no way to get this standard Desktop CD to install? I have to download a different version? [00:50] Rafabe, dunno never installed it.. but its basically the same thing as ubuntu just using xfce4 for its windows manager [00:50] is it safe to say that If my computer has atleast 3 errors in memtest86, it have a problem with my memory ? [00:50] MLeBlanc, WOW is pretty big and always wants a lot of memory so im only saying it might not run so smooth [00:50] waseem: "sudo apt-get remove " or "sudo apt-get purge " to remove config files as well [00:50] gunspoja: are you using Ubuntu? [00:50] Rafabe: no no no... you'll need to do one of two things... add ram, or download the alternate install CD. [00:51] k thanks [00:51] k [00:51] xcst: the themes for emerald can only be used with emerald of course the default compiz uses metacity themes afaik [00:51] soldats: Understood. [00:51] Rafabe: *Alternate* desktop cd, it's a checkbox at the bottom of the ubuntu download page [00:51] Rafabe: you can also look into Xubuntu [00:51] Allright, so I'll download the other version then. Thanks. [00:51] hey whats up everyone [00:51] kelsin: would you say purge is better when planning to re-install a different version of the app? [00:51] is it safe to say that If my computer has atleast 3 errors in memtest86, I have a problem with my memory ? [00:51] Rafabe: same version(gutsy 7.10) [00:51] Rafabe: you just want a different installer, you want the Alternate Install CD [00:51] gunspoja: see the menus in the upper left corner? [00:51] Rafabe: yeah it doesn't use the livecd system, just gives you the standard (just as easy) text mode installer, will install fine, then you can install whatever you want (plenty of light choices out there) [00:52] that's what I meant...the "alternative" 7.10 version [00:52] is ext3 preferable to ext2? [00:52] Zog: yes [00:52] ye [00:52] I understand what you mean [00:52] just making sure [00:52] im not sure what im looking for in dmesg. it says its attached to ttyusb0 and 1 [00:52] Zog: same internals, but uses a journal to help reliability [00:52] its just called "GSM modem" :/ [00:52] k thanks [00:52] Zog: yes [00:52] Who knows how to apply this patch: http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa-kernel/rev/958b39f3e8dd [00:52] erUSUL, how about the lookingglass what is that [00:52] soundray_, yeah I'm running ubuntu gutsy on the laptop, and feisty here on my desktop [00:52] the laptop is the one with the wireless adpater [00:52] gunspoja: you can do "dmesg | -i gsm" then to help filter the output to only things that have gsm (case insentive) in it [00:52] *adapter [00:53] gunspoja: good. Do you see the three menus on the left side of the top panel? [00:53] gunspoja: I did that wrong (tired) "dmesg | grep -i gsm" [00:53] yeah [00:53] okay, and i would want to mount it as root, since i'm going to keep my personal data on a seperate drive, right? [00:53] xcst: dunno sorry [00:53] REWARD: A dollar to anyone who can figure this out: http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa-kernel/rev/958b39f3e8dd [00:53] Zog: the partition you mount at root is your main one with all of the system software on it [00:53] enigmata: are you going to install alsa from source? [00:53] kelsin: that's what i thought. [00:53] gunspoja: click on System, then Administration, then Network. Choose Modem connection and click Properties [00:53] thanks [00:54] noname6243: yes. try less aggressive timings in the bios. [00:54] : This is supposed to be the patch for my sound issue. [00:54] ok done [00:54] void^, what do you mean? [00:54] what am i doing with the modem properties? [00:54] enigmata: yeah but you have to install alsa from source to patch. [00:55] Know ho [00:55] *how? [00:55] gunspoja: on the Modem tab, select /dev/ttyUSB0 as the port -- case does matter [00:56] hi I have a problem with emerald working on compiz-fusion. are they compatible? [00:56] gunspoja: with the provider and account data, I can't help you. [00:56] : Yes, they work hand in han [00:56] enigmata: Im no expert so I can't walk you through it but: Download or install alsa source, apply the patch with #patch -p0 < patch-file-name-here. compile and install. [00:56] Make sure emerald is properly installed. [00:57] oh ok thanks [00:57] brb, trying that [00:57] enigmata: how should I install it properly? [00:57] Use Synaptic [00:57] void^, ?

[00:58] noname6243: eh? you were asking if a number of errors in memtest was a problem - yes it is. [00:58] is there a way to fix nautilus from crashing every few minutes?

[01:03] belorix: what do you get from 'lspci | grep -i ethernet'? [01:03] no suer elol [01:03] aBound: You should look for a blinking cursor on your terminal instead of your shell. If you use gnome-terminal use Edit->Current Profile and set "Cursor blinks" on the "General" tab. [01:03] im on windows [01:03] >< [01:04] and swap are set as logical partitions, not primary?

I am so used to this feature in MsWord and it is quite convenient to use that to enter special character that I cannot type it directly on keyboard...

For example, if I type --- then it convert to an "em" dsah for me/ [01:04] does setting up the partition for /home matter? [01:04] enigmata: ok I am in windows decoration how do I enable emerald?

[02:10] tyronepolleri, as far as I know you should be able to run at least the basic desktop effects with an intel card, mine can handle them and it's a 865, anything over that is a bit over my head, you should try asking in #compiz-fusion, I don't think you will need to install any beta of anything, but I might be wrong , they will be able to tell you [02:10] I'm running ubuntu 2.6.22-14-generic with 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller, and need the patch applied to get sound on my Lenovo laptop. [02:11] how many damn floodbots do we need in here ? [02:11] enigmata: That patch doesn't come close to fitting anything before a 2.6.23 kernel. [02:11] Is there any program out there that can send an SMS message via console? So that I could use it to notify me of things, such as setting "blahblahcompilecrap && smsdoohickey" to send me a text when my computer finishes a task?

[02:12] Kalamansi, I don't think you can do that, the other pc will need to do it's own updating [02:13] Pelo: I'll look into that [02:13] Babble, try with gnomebaker [02:13] enigmata, know you dont need a patch [02:13] Pelo: you mean i will download one by one and pc by pc? [02:13] help! [02:13] Then why can't I get ANY sound? [02:14] enigmata, you need the right options passed to the module and perhaps need to compile the latest alsa-driver from the alsa site [02:14] enigmata: If your hardware really needs a kernel with that patch then you need a newer kernel or a major backport. Do you really know that you need that patch? Or are you guessing? [02:14] Kalamansi, I mean each pc will update indiviualy whenyou plug them into thenet, I don'T thnk there is a way of exporting updates from one pc to the other, there might be if you kind of created your own mirror of the updates but I think that might be a bit of work [02:14] how to get dns domain? [02:14] enigmata, I have the same chipset [02:14] i need free dns domain [02:14] Pelo, does it do .iso? [02:15] Babble, it burns images [02:15] enigmata, I upgraded the alsa-driver and edited ...

[02:18] Babble, check in /menu / system / admin / users , see if your user has parmission to write cd, and consider that the drive might be defective [02:18] reinstall always works well,just a time thing [02:18] danc3: lol [02:18] i know [02:18] Pelo: ubuntu is installed on another partition.. seperate [02:18] enigmata, type in that last line and change your model to leveno [02:19] Pelo: how to install .exe file?

[02:20] Kalamansi, .exe files are generaly for windows applications, they don't work natively on linux, consider using wine to use them [02:20] !wine | Kalamansi [02:20] Kalamansi: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [02:20] Pelo, there is an option for use CD_ROM drives.. don't see anything for writing.. I'm assuming that use is read and write [02:20] enigmata, you may just want to start with the drivers and see what happens.. I forgot to bookmark the site I got the info from [02:20] god,i must not ever give advice after many pints of brown ale [02:20] How do you do all this? [02:20] quack, Irish ale?

[02:22] danc3: because I want to install neewer plugins [02:22] Can I just save your /etc/modprobe.d/alias-base as my own? [02:22] Babble, if it was a long time ago the drive might have gotten dirty on the write head [02:22] abadtooth: I don't know then... you'll probably have to compile from source [02:22] !ask | hereurbooks [02:22] hereurbooks: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [02:22] Babble, real the label onteh drive, burner usualy say so -rw for some [02:22] enigmata, you can try it but I doubt it'll work I have a acer laptop [02:22] enigmata, you said leveno [02:22] danc3: that sucks..

Does anyone know what I have to do to get a good rip? Or is this an .avi codec issue?

[02:23] adamonline45, dvd2avi I think will do it [02:23] enigmata,g ooogle alsa and get latest source code for the drivers [02:24] I'm tired folks, good night [02:24] Pelo: Haha, I just installed k9copy because k3b wasn't ripping 8) Maybe the third time will be a charm... [02:24] danc3: will it take under 30 minutes...? [02:24] enigmata, I'd back up the l old module and delete it first.. You'll need the kernel headers [02:24] Pelo : is there any command to type in terminal directly for wine installed? [02:24] abadtooth: to compile it? I would think so, but not certain. [02:25] abadtooth: depends on your hardware, largely. [02:25] hi [02:25] enigmata, there's a readme inside the source telling you how to compile [02:25] danc3: top end here... [02:25] enigmata, What wireless card ya have? [02:25] hi. is there a recommended backup software for small businesses ? [02:25] ah, upgrading my sources to gutsy sources and running update/upgrade/dist-upgrade seems to be the trick [02:26] dumb question perhaps, but can you download and install software while using a live cd? [02:26] benzs_s, depends [02:26] with usb stick posible benzs_s :) [02:26] benzs_s, if it is precompiled and is a binary with all the libs yeah [02:27] can you add a repo and download from it for example [02:27] apt-get [02:27] Intel mobile w/ a partially disfunctional Ubuntu driver [02:27] guys i really need some help with ubuntu i`m using a automatic DHCP and i cant seem to make ubuntu to work on this connection [02:27] enigmata, ipw2200 or something? [02:27] keb : I have simple backup [02:27] keb: there is a ton of software that can be used to backup. Alot of the best ones (imo) are command line oriented, but I would suggest checking out rdiff-backup [02:28] benzs_s: think no [02:28] anyone know how to get an Mp3 player to be recognized as a drive? [02:28] hi [02:28] Morgan555: plug it in [02:28] Morgan555: what player?

[02:29] huh, I plugged it in via the USB but itdid not moun [02:29] Morgan555: I am unfamiliar with that one but I know on my sansa it has an option to put the usb mode either into the windowsmedia player mode or the normal usb drive mode, might need to check it's options [02:29] enigmata, you might want to see if it is the latest one [02:29] Morgan555, dmesg | tail -n 50 see if it is recognized [02:29] Morgan555, find out what device it might be [02:29] is there a fix for the gutsy command line sound issue? [02:30] IndyGunFreak, it is in .tar.gz [02:30] HI, what is the Ubuntu equivalent to alt+tab to switch between programs? [02:30] RootyRootRootWoo: alt-tab [02:30] thanks mneptok [02:30] ok so a hypothetical situation: someone wants to retrieve files from their HDD, and they don't have a working OS. So they put a live CD in and find they can't access the ntfs HDD. can those files by accessed withouta dding a repo for ntfs-3g? [02:30] Morgan555, and try to mount it as root. if you can it is prolly a udev rule or hal that is stopping this [02:30] xcst: is it an icon set from GNOME or GNOME-look? [02:30] I ripped a DVD with k9copy, but it only plays sound, shows a static image, and when i try to navigate through it, it jumps back to the beginning...

You might try that. There are a lot more choices as well, obviously. Perusing synaptic might be good [02:34] how do you use cairo clock [02:35] !wm [02:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about wm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:35] xcst: read the documentation?

Ok. :) [02:57] huh: I got madwifi-tools installed [02:57] Kalamansi, yes i understand but for what purpose do you NEED photoshop for, if you want to edit raster graphics or edit or create vector graphics [02:57] I get this error when I try to test my recording under the sound settings before it freezes: Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat' [02:57] any program [02:58] How do I restart the screen thing? My resolution is restricted to 800x600 (once again) and I don't have an option for any larger ones. [02:58] reportingsjr: ctrl + alt + backspace [02:59] reportingsjr: You may have to manually enter the resolutions in xorg [02:59] soldats: creat logo [02:59] reportingsjr, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" is a way to do it in the terminal but if you do it this way you need to read the pagers carefully and use default on most things [02:59] qt-x- I am not 100% sure, but on the preferences for an IRC server you connected to (FIle preferences on Chatzilla I think), there is an option to enter a port number. I am not 100% sure because I don't have Chatzilla extensions installed. [02:59] Does anyone use adesklets ? [02:59] That did.. nothing, except log me off. [02:59] luks is cool [03:00] Anyone know what the the icon for "homefolder" and "desktop" are called? [03:00] I can hide stuff [03:00] anyhow [03:00] I can't get adesklets to work [03:00] I installed the gutsy package [03:00] and ran adesklets_installer -t and I get an error [03:00] then with -n and -r [03:00] when i restart the network settings at some point finds some DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 but at the end i get no DCHPOFFERS (No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.) [03:00] this irc client was a fast solution for now but o other computer i have access only on those ports [03:00] -t is for Tk -r for Raw terminal and -n for ncurses [03:00] !vnc [03:00] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [03:00] but I keep getting some python tracebacks [03:01] What's a good codec to use in k9copy for ripping a dvd? And a good bitrate? I'm a DVD noob 8) [03:01] can freenx be used to access windows apps from linux [03:01] ? [03:01] mneptok eny ideas? :| [03:01] or just the opposite? [03:02] Kalamansi, ok well when doing logos its best to do it in a format that lets you resize it to whatever size you want without pixelating the image. so for you i woudl suggest inkscape because it is a vector program specifically for logos and vectors. you may use "the GIMP" as well for logos since it is a very advanced program for photo editing and is simialr to photoshop. the only difference between GIMP and photo shop is photoshop can handle [03:02] vectors and GIMP cant. but if you use the gimp and inkscape together you should never need another photo program [03:02] I'm having trouble with gparted. It scans for devices and never stops, and then I get an error about /dev/fd0 being mounted read-only, but I don't even have a floppy. Any ideas? I just installed a new 750GB HDD and tried to do it manually but...that didn't work out like I thought it would. [03:02] hi, does anyone know hot to make mplayer work if you have compiz running? [03:02] compiz shouldn't break mplayer [03:02] nope, mplayer runs fine for me [03:03] so ther is a method that i do not know without connecting to an ssh server on this port ? [03:03] Pulshion: try removing and reinstalling it [03:03] it doesnt break it, no video, but sound works [03:03] is there anyway i can login/startup an ubuntu pc, remotely? [03:03] will it be via vnc? [03:03] when i disable the compiz then everything works fine [03:04] Hi, what is the tool used to remaster Ubuntu? [03:05] soldats : where to get inkscape? thanks [03:05] when I try /etc/init.d/networking restart I get No DHCPOFFERS received for the atheros wifi [03:05] so i cant use ubuntu on a DHCP automatic connection right? [03:05] Kalamansi, sudo apt-get install inkscape [03:05] d3MMoNuL`: yes you can [03:05] Martin___ i get the exact same thing on my cable connection [03:05] d3MMoNuL`: did you pastebin the file?

[03:06] me too === z9999_ is now known as z9999 [03:06] my modem is a Thomson TCM420 [03:07] soldats: Did I hear you say the GIMP doesn't support vectors? Wow maybe that explains the trouble I had with it, hahaha [03:07] Ok so i got the recorder to stop getting stuck... but now it doesn't record any sound... [03:07] cant understand why in windows everything works fine and when i`m on the ubuntu live cd doesnt work === David|V is now known as kraeutermann [03:08] hi, does anyone know how to make mplayer work if you have compiz running? If i switch video output to x11 it works, but on default xv it doesnt work...is x11 good or bad? [03:08] d3MMoNuL`: it sounds like you don't have the correct drivers installed for your wifi. this can be a problem with livecd versus local install. [03:08] adamonline45: If you want to do vector stuff, you should check out inkscape. GIMP is a raster based program. [03:08] adamonline45, yes it very much supports layers but as i recall it does not support vectors inkscape is a far superior program for them. i tend to use gimp in accordace with inkscape for my needs in logos and other designs [03:08] list [03:09] │Retrieving data online... │ [03:09] │!!!

[03:11] where can i find a opensuse channel? [03:11] jacob_: have you tried #suse? [03:11] soldats, whats is the difference then? [03:11] Pulshion, compiz seems to have many problems with that sort of stuff [03:12] d3MMoNuL`, stuff usually on a livecd is permanent... it is read only [03:12] d3MMoNuL`, You need to edit it on a hard drive and remaster the image.. [03:12] soldats : downloading it now.first time tho..what about alternative for dreamweavercs3? [03:12] Pulshion, for some reason i see many people having confusion with compiz for video desktop effects and audio codecs, it seems that you may need to do a thurough search for codecs for your needs [03:13] What is the proper way to setup a firewall policy to load on boot?

[03:32] meoblast, it will work.. it just takes a little tweaking [03:32] huh: so am i SOL? [03:32] TheSohnly, I may get chastized for this, but uh I go to www.gentoo.org and click on the forum link and search there [03:32] there has to be a way [03:33] tweaking? [03:33] TheSohnly, I run gentoo on another machine [03:33] ... [03:33] forget another version of linux [03:33] TheSohnly, You need to know what you can apply to ubuntu though [03:33] im having too much trouble with this one [03:33] ashfire908: im right? if i instal motherboard drives chipset drives on windows the ubuntu detect [03:33] adamonline45, i browse at least 10 to 15 different mssg boards so i am not sure as to exactly which one but ill look into that as soon as i can and ill let you know, i must assure you that it may take a few days. if your on this channel a lot then if i see you again ill let you know for sure [03:33] meoblast, didyou try that command?

[03:36] Bug here (Well possibly): Icons for Home folder and Desktop have two names which the system uses: user-desktop.png, fs-gnome-desktop.png, gnome-fs-home.png and user-home.png - this seems weird and like a mistake. The FS stuff is, as far as i recall something from older versions. this makes it hard for icons-themers... Oh well... [03:36] fabio: uh... you don't know how to access the bios setup screen?

Thanks for the pointer. === stdin_ is now known as stdin [03:39] shredder_: it's up to you where that is [03:39] Shredder: /home/music? [03:39] when someone has time, i would like help installing [03:39] Just installed Ubuntu on a Slave HD, located on the second IDE slot with the Master HD removed... Once Ubuntu is installed, it does not boot [03:39] im gonna do screen recordings now [03:39] cya [03:39] hello all [03:39] I dont know any sites to get files [03:39] as a matter of fact it says something to the tune of No OS detected [03:40] Brantis: any error messages? [03:40] Brantis, it is a slave so it weill not boot first in the sequence [03:40] no install goes smooth [03:40] evne with no other hd installed? [03:40] Brantis: grub error? [03:40] when connecting via VNC, do i expect to see exactly the same as if i'm on the remote machine? [03:40] shredder_: Well, you are supposed to pay for music files, free software doesn't come with a free music license, if that's what yu mean? [03:40] I have a hideous APT problem. It seems to be broken. Can anyone help? [03:40] Brantis, you should be able top set it to a master hdd [03:40] it just shows me a terminal window, which i accidentally closed, and now no longer appears [03:40] no [03:40] sometimes the color is toned down [03:40] otherwise, yes [03:40] dsnyders: And personally I suggest Maildir for your local mailbox format, but that's just me. There are lots of resources out there for both getmail and procmail. You should have no problem finding a tutorial sorta thing. But be sure it ask if you are. [03:41] So, It should be installed as the Master drive, and my XP drive should be set to Slave? [03:41] Brantis, if you want to boot linux first yes [03:41] Brantis: Doesn't matter, as long as GRUB is on the drive that you boot to. [03:41] * Brantis is new [03:41] I just want to be able to choose which OS i want to boot to [03:42] Live CD is not cutting it because of the lack of ram [03:42] Brantis, ahh you need to dual boot [03:42] Brantis: Your BIOS picks a harddrive's MBR to boot to. GRUB needs to be installed so the BIOS boots to it. From the sound of it, if you have no other drive in when you installed, your BIOS isn't booting to the slave. [03:42] Every time I try to use APT for anything, I get the following error message: file for package `coreutils' is missing final newline [03:42] bulmer, not nmap ? [03:42] user01 any tools that will work, i happen to like lsof === difekta is now known as broken_ladder [03:43] Brantis, try usin 7.04, it needs only 128 mb or so [03:43] i just upgraded to gutsy and some of my avi files wont play, but others play why is it like that?

Network Manager refuses to completely upgrade. apt can't restart the Network Manager service, which completely hangs the system, with the reset button being the only option to make the system functional again [03:43] onats: depends, if you use vino (that's what the builtin desktop sharing in ubuntu uses) or x11vnc you get the very same desktop. more commonly you run an independent vnc server, though - higher performance and it persists when you logout. [03:43] brantis, you might want to download the alternative image and use the text installer [03:44] user01 lsof -iTCP [03:44] ashfire908 means i load the normal settings [03:44] Flannel: I'm going to go with fetchmail, as there is a webmin module for it. I'll take the maildir format suggestion as well. [03:44] void, which installations/programs do you suggest? [03:44] fabio: and?

[03:46] xcst, are you sure you have added the medibuntu repository? [03:46] and then afterwards all the required codecs? [03:46] oowww [03:46] whats the medibuntu repo [03:46] xcst: xvid or other? [03:46] http://medibuntu.org/ [03:47] im using mplayer movie player [03:47] avi files [03:47] onats: depends on what you need - if it's for support/technical assistance, use vino. if you just need to access your desktop from the next room for a moment, use vino. if you want to run azureus in vnc, for example, it's better to use a standalone vnc server. and if you access it over the internet or any unreliable network, use ssh tunneling.

"Thank you, again!" [03:48] xcst: try installing a couple of packages (not the repos) from medibuntu and see if that does it [03:48] ok thanks [03:48] xcst: you know how to install stuff from the terminal? [03:49] yes [03:49] anyone ever hear of a "phases of the moon" app? i have gdesklets and am on my way to check there [03:49] Does anyone have a second to point me in the right direction of fixing a botched package upgrade? Network Manager refuses to completely upgrade. apt can't restart the Network Manager service, which completely hangs the system, with the reset button being the only option to make the system functional again. I can't upgrade or install anything without having to reset the pc [03:49] xcst: then you want win32codecs and libdvdcss2; the instructions are on the site how to install those packages (not the repos) via command line [03:50] I've used debian sid for years, but only dabbled lightly with ubuntu. Is ubuntu+1 considered your flavor of unstable? or it that testing? This is all for use in a non-production isolated virtual server (easy to throw away). Thanks. [03:50] xcst: you also want ubuntu-restricted-extras from ubuntu repos [03:50] apparently there are no screen recorders that record to common formats so how do you convert a .ogg video to a .avi video?

[03:50] void, i'm trying to eliminate my KVM switch here [03:51] Hey guys!! Hardware question. Have here a Asus P4C Deluxe motherboard. Aparently its working fine. It's now with a 2.0 Celeron, and a 300Wmax PSU. This setup works perfectly. Now.. if i put it with a P4 3.0, the motherboard behaves erraticaly. Some times it doesn't boot at all, some times, it boots and starts with "BIOS Checksums" problems. [03:51] Supaplex: that is the next release [03:51] Supaplex: unstable [03:51] Question is... can it be the PSU? [03:51] Aww, crap, my tooltips in GIMP are white on white... They're also that way in the compiz effects-settings menu... If they're okay in the rest of my applications, what should I look into for fixing it in these situations? [03:51] Can it be too unpowerfull? [03:51] or do i have a 3.0 defective? [03:51] killerbeesateme you could probably start ubuntu with a an option to disable networking and network manager, then purge network manager and try again? [03:51] daedric: unpowerful? [03:52] bazhang, i know :D [03:52] the word doesn't exists. [03:52] Not powerfull enough. [03:52] underpowered maybe [03:52] killerbeesateme-> you can not get to the internet? what kind of connectivity do you have? [03:52] hairulfr: i ran "sudo update-rc.d NetworkManager remove" but it still hangs on doing the update [03:53] deadlock: It's offtopic for here, but: bent pins? no heat transfer gunk? [03:53] onats, english is my second languange. Some times its impossible to use a word existing in my natural language and "translating" it intop English. [03:53] bazhang, i installed libdvdcss2, w32codecs [03:53] adamonline45, sounds like you need to use the defaults for compiz and find out a good color scheme to use that works with all applications [03:53] hairulfr: I'm actually on the system now. Everything runs fine, unless i do anything upgrade/install wise with apt, then the system hangs [03:53] xcst: how about the ubuntu-restricted-extras? [03:53] !! offtopic [03:53] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:53] :D [03:53] GOing to another chan [03:53] brb :D [03:54] onats: on your local network you can also do neat things like xdmcp logins that require almost no extra configuration (just have to tick a checkbox on the server side) and work directly from your local login prompt (gdm) or in a nested x server (Xephyr, Xnest) [03:54] bazhang, not yet [03:54] killerbeesateme-> that only removes entries from the init.d so remove entries there [03:54] hairulf: the system will recognize keystrokes but thats it. I have to hit the reset button to get the system functioning again [03:54] bulmer: I'm actually on the system now. Everything runs fine, unless i do anything upgrade/install wise with apt, then the system hangs [03:54] xcst: that should set you up in that regard--easiest way is through synaptic--need to add more repos there [03:55] killerbeesateme-> if everything is fine, what is the issue? [03:55] killerbeesateme: try sudo apt-get remove [NetworkM] then sudo aptitude remove [NetworkM] and sudo apt-get remove --purge [Netwoek] sudo aptitude pnetwork - if you can? [03:55] bulmer: I can't install or upgrade any packages. I normally wouldn't mind, but doing a reset via the button to install packages is not the greatest way to go [03:56] flash for 64 bit yet? [03:56] natively [03:56] killerbeesateme: The horrible things at the end of each command is the package name [03:56] !flash64 | dmb062082 [03:56] dmb062082: 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 [03:57] hairulfr: I'll give it a shot. hopefully I won't have to do a reset. be back in a second if I lock up. [03:58] bazhang, whats ubuntu-restricted-extras for? === kennny is now known as wapo20cam [03:58] hairulfr: trying to remove NetworkManager, this spits out at me "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

I've installed everything I can think of, but no go. (I'm on 64bit) [03:59] hey, how do you get the task manager or ubuntu equivalent to kill a process up? [03:59] do those include dvds? [03:59] hairulfr: it didn't crash, but if I run that command I'm 99% sure I'm going to hang. It's asking me to configure that package which isn't fully installed...i think at least [03:59] soldats: Kino [03:59] bazhang, do those include dvd? [03:59] soldats: it crashes my computer [03:59] Dante123, huh be more specific [04:00] killall [04:00] What is a .cdr file and how do I burn it? [04:00] xcst: that would be the libdvdcss2 you installed [04:00] soldats: after 5 minutes through the process of importing large files [04:00] ok thanks [04:00] meoblast001, pitivi video editor [04:00] meoblast001, goole it [04:00] Dante123, open a terminal and use killall [04:00] google [04:00] hairulfr: I ran into this problem a day ago on a debian box, where a config file was missing an option. I was able to fix that by adding the option, but in this case, I'm not sure what I can do [04:00] soldats: how do you cut, zoom, and add music in pitivi? === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [04:00] is there something akin to ctrl-alt-delete that brings up some kind of task manager gui? [04:00] you can look at top if you need to know the name [04:01] meoblast001, not sure i heard it was recommended for ubuntu [04:01] hairulfr: there's a thread posted on the forum as well that details what i'm getting while running apt. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3906679#post3906679 [04:01] killerbeesateme: Hmm, well, you could try? I'm sorta at my wits end at this, the only option is might be manually removing every bit of it, but, uhm how to go about removing every bit im not sure. [04:01] hey fellas, does anyone know how to execute .jar files? [04:01] bazhang, installing the 3 lib, w32, and ubuntu restricted should almost all media would play?

I got it! :O Had to restart GIMP 8) hehheh... Now to see what breaks 'em again... [04:07] bazhang, i have finished installing but still some wont play [04:07] FlyingSquirrel32, there should be a hot key in the rhythm box config in the gui app you should remove the hotkey and use it for the totem config [04:07] huh i'll show you the error message i get... [04:07] im using mplayer, but in totem they are working [04:07] mattycoze, what ya trying to run?

[04:10] xcst: you just need to get the player that plays the majority of stuff best for you--mplayer might be for most stuff--and vlc for the rest, have to experiment there :} [04:10] huh, im using the alternate cd now for ubuntu PPC for my mac g5, and it did not change anything, the smae problem still occurs. [04:11] dang it [04:11] bazhang, in the mplayer maybe it has something to do with the preferences? [04:11] hairulfr: well here's what happened. the command that apt asked me to run went fine. so, i proceeded with your instructions to apt-get remove network-manager. it wasn't able to stop the network manager (which shouldn't be running, since i disabled it). so it failed. I was still able to run commands under my normal user, however, any sudo commands freeze [04:11] FlyingSquirrel32, when you go to keyboard shortcuts does it ask you to enter a command, if so try to enter "totem" and if that works enter the key controls you want for it [04:11] i need a screen recorder that writes to AVI... not OGG.... A..... V...... I..... [04:11] anyone know of a good java chatroom? [04:11] !screencast [04:12] Some programs to capture your screen are Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder.

Like "sudo nautilus" freezes the system? [04:12] killerbeesatem: No, that sounds very very strange [04:13] oh soory i dont usually screen cast but im almost positive if you screencast in ogg you can make it into whatever extension you want [04:13] hi all [04:13] xcst: could be but I doubt it; try vlc or totem for example [04:13] I am trying to crate a directory [04:13] I want to get a source code ,eva ,can i do like this sudo apt-get source eva??

[04:14] xcst: good news [04:14] SpeakerMania, ok cool [04:14] hairulfr: So, when i tried your instructions to remove it, it freezes on trying to stop the Network Manager. which is the same thing that happens when i upgrade the system [04:14] Hi. Is there any trick to activate the dictionary on Gutsy or it's just broken? [04:14] genii, also it is gksudo nautilus is the proper way. :) [04:14] hey can anybody help me fix my ubunto 7.10 ppc on my mac g5 [04:15] super-7alazoune: If this is not the first username that was made when ubuntu was installed make that name a user with admin/sudo rights from a username that DOES have sudo rights [04:15] can anyone help me out with wine, and where it's located? [04:15] killerbeesatem: Have you tried killing it? [04:15] <-- seeking help, problem #2... OS: Ubuntu-feisty, Symptom: after loading OS, gui freezes/locks as soon as mouse/cursor is moved, Suspected Cause: last thing I did before rebooting and discovered reoccuring sympom was use "Add/Remove Applications" and added Nvidia drivers... Present State: after OS loaded I pressed alt+cntrl+F3 and I am at a fullscreen terminal prompt.... I am noobish, but somewhat capable (of screwing up syst [04:15] em every 3 monthes). I do not know any commands but I can follow directions... umm... help? [04:15] !wine [04:15] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [04:15] "Ubuntu for example is capable of playing OGG/Theora/Vorbis video out of the box." ..................... yeah right =D *laughs* [04:15] SpeakerMania: Yes, gksudo and not gksu [04:15] hairulfr: after failing at trying to stop the networking manager, thats when sudo becomes worthless. also networking completely dies [04:15] where is wine located on my harddrive [04:15] how so? [04:15] Totem kills when i play OGG video [04:15] from thr CLI [04:16] Hi. Is there any trick to activate the dictionary on Gutsy or it's just broken? [04:16] linuxftw, "whereis wine" in terminal [04:16] maybe [04:17] meoblast001, hmm i wish i knew more about ogg video to help you but i only use ogg audio [04:17] bazhang, how do i set totem to be the default player [04:17] hairulfr: do you know an easy command to check if the network manager service is running? [04:17] bazhang, ill use it then since its the one who works with all [04:17] i only use ogg audio [04:17] and then they through this whole ogg video at me [04:17] i like AVI [04:17] and MOV [04:17] and MPG [04:17] Flannel, you there? [04:17] ya i prefer avi [04:17] why cant they use that? [04:17] super-7alazoune: login with a name that does have sudo. Then edit file /etc/sudoers to add the name you want to have these rights. Examples can be examined by: man sudoers [04:17] hello, is the gutsy having a big upgrade now? [04:17] killerbeesatem: top then look through the list or in system - preferences - sessions [04:17] xcst: ah, not sure about that as I'm on kubuntu :} perhaps in the settings? [04:17] hairulfr: I removed it from the init, using "sudo update-rc.d NetworkManager remove" yesterday, and I've done several reboots since then [04:18] meoblast001, just download the codecs for avi mepg etc [04:18] killerbeesatem: Then you could try killing it [04:18] HMGM [04:18] bazhang, thanks [04:18] the program still wont write to AVI [04:18] hairulfr: I also don't see it running in the gnome task bar [04:18] <-- seeking help, problem #2...

[04:19] How do I set a folder to share over my network for access via Windows computer? [04:20] at startup i get init: rcS process 2030 killed by signal 11 and rc-default process 2032 killed by signal 11 anyone know how to fix this? i have searched google for hrs with no fix? is there anyway to just recopy the /etc/init.d folder or will that mess everything up? [04:20] SpeakerMania, right click and do folder share over network [04:21] hairulfr: no, this was my first stop. [04:21] soldats, can you be more specific? [04:22] killerbeesatem: I'm simply not sure what to do. [04:22] hairulfr: the thing that drives me nuts, is network manager is not running, so why would apt have a problem, or even try to stop it?? the package is in limbo, and i really wish I could make apt forget pending actions, so that I can just forget about it. I don't even use the network manager [04:22] is there a easy way to get the diffs for all the packages that can be updated? [04:23] Ashfire908: Not yet but this method of updating is in discussion/development [04:23] <-- seeking help, problem #2...

[04:23] killerbeesatem_ Yeah, that's where i get stuck too, , and "limbo" is a pretty description, I think :) [04:23] hairulfr: you don't know how to force apt to forget about packages that aren't in a fully installed state would you? [04:23] is there an xorg.conf directive that signals a monitor to be widescreen? [04:23] when booting ubuntu, I don't get the splash screen, and if I hit escape, I see the message 'usplash setting mode 1152x864 failed'. How do I fix this? [04:23] evenin' ior morning all [04:23] apt-cache policy [04:24] is there any way of changing usplash's mode? [04:24] SpeakerMania, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_share_folders_the_easy_way read through this it may help also scroll to the top and maybe there will be a more specific way. [04:24] ok here is my issue... all new windows that open ... open at about position 0, -10 so that the top bar is off the screen [04:25] soldats, thanks. :) [04:25] maxo, did you change the resolution for usplpash? [04:25] ps is this the correct channel to be in for this issue [04:25] sobbie, i had the same problem i never figured it out [04:25] Atomic_UE, no, how can I do that? [04:26] I just did an upgrade to 7.1 could that have cause the isue [04:26] killerbeesatem1: Nope, I don't, I'm sorry, but I'm actually pretty interested in what it might be, but I simply don't know enough to figure out what i "means", what happened and how to fix it. [04:26] sobbie, the only way i fixed it was to make a new user account [04:26] killerbeesatem1: You should try #linux, they might know [04:26] Go to Applications > Add/Remove Applications [04:26] soldats... THANKS!!! :) maybe I will give that a try... although that is kinda a pain [04:26] :) thanks again [04:27] hairulfr: I just tried google, and I didn't really find anything [04:27] killerbeesatem1: [04:27] maxo, go to Applications > Add/Remove Software, select All Available Applications from the drop down in the top right [04:27] sobbie, yea i know but when i upgraded it didnt do that it happened more recently also you might want to try to go to accessories > settings > window manager tweaks [04:28] maxo, search for and install startup-manager [04:28] genii: any non-easy way? [04:28] hairulfr: I FOUND IT!!! for future reference, if you go to Synaptic, go into the status page, then go to "Not Installed (residual configuration)" or something like that, then mark it for complete removal, it will actually purge the frickin thing [04:28] am I the only one who sets their panels up like the windows task bar? [04:28] How do I find out how much free space I have on / [04:28] Ashfire908: Not that I know of yet [04:28] killerbeesatem1: The Network Manager setup files? Didn't we try that?! [04:29] killerbeesatem1: Well, good for you :) [04:29] soldats: Well, I've determined that changing my KDE color scheme will let me see the tooltips. When editing my colors,though, I don't see anything relating TO to tooltips... Do you know what I'd have to change? I presume the color's tied to some other entities color... Oh, I'm in KDE, btw... [04:29] hairulfr: I couldn't purge it via apt, but synaptic did it [04:29] is there program that can be used to recover deleted stuff ? [04:29] How do I find out how much free space I have on / [04:29] Atomic_UE, ok I'll try that === Bawbatos is now known as Bawbatos_Away [04:29] thinsoldier: df -h [04:29] killerbeesatem1: Cool and strange, you installed via synaptic, and that godt stuck? [04:29] maxo, ...i should of asked, Ubuntu actually does start up fine doesn't it? [04:29] ok, now where to find that in a gui so my grandma can do it? [04:30] Atomic_UE, yes, no problem otherwise [04:30] oh wow, this channel is growing like crazy... gutsy catching on a bit more than previous releases? [04:30] does your grandma need to know how much free space she has on / [04:30] yes [04:30] silent, this channel is not as full as it was even after dapper [04:30] xcst: you can right click and choose open with, or check properties and set what it opens with--the real answers will be found at ubuntuguide or ubuntuwiki--a good place to read through to get a feeling of all the things you can do--sorry not to give a better answer [04:30] thinsoldier: make her a shortcut :P [04:30] hairulfr: I actually purged it via synaptic. its got a section for packages that are in limbo. so I just did a complete removal there. it managed to stick... [04:30] <-- still seeking help, started this morning... OS: Ubuntu-feisty, Symptom: after loading OS, gui freezes/locks as soon as mouse/cursor is moved, Suspected Cause: last thing I did before rebooting and discovered reoccuring sympom was use "Add/Remove Applications" and added Nvidia drivers... Present State: mouse unplugged, after OS loaded I pressed alt+cntrl+F3 and I am at a fullscreen terminal prompt.... [04:30] owww [04:30] I am noobish, but somewhat capable, I do not know any commands but I can follow directions... umm... help? [04:30] adamonline45, im not too familiar with kde since ive never used it but maybe just leave the kde settings the way they are so you can see the tooltips until you are comfortable with them and then change them back, sorry its not a better answer but im not familiar with kde [04:30] bruenig, really? perhaps that's a good sign.. maybe things are 'just working' now [04:30] seriously? there's no other way to check how much free space you have? [04:31] silent, I think people are switching to pclinuxos [04:31] - install baobab [04:31] what can I use to recover accidently deleted data ? [04:31] I have to install something to see how much free space I have? wtf? [04:31] seriously? [04:31] bruenig: dont believe distrowatch [04:31] bruenig, never heard of it, I'll look into it... i started out with debian, what base is pclinuxos built on? [04:31] maxo, cool. So when the Startup-Manager app is installed, run the thing (System > Administration > Startup-Manager) and let me know when you get that far [04:31] well it might be there [04:31] soldats: Ooooh, it's workable though :) I'll ask in #kubuntu... Thanks :) [04:31] thinsoldier, "du" in a terminal [04:31] hairulfr: i found a thread for not fully installed packages, and someone recommended doing that. so, it didn't really fix it, but I didn't need the network manager anyway. I'm just glad my apt works right [04:31] thinsoldier: df -h [04:31] bazhang, I shall believe it [04:31] silent mandriva [04:31] look under acesssories [04:32] silent, pclinuxos is like ubuntu but better [04:32] soldats: where is the gui option? why can't we just right click on the drive icon in the side bar or something? [04:32] adamonline45, ok cool that seems better for that situation [04:32] thinsoldier: Sorry, that's the best I know, I'm in KDE... [04:32] thinsoldier: I use thunar file manager and it shows free space on any selected drive.. or where you lookng for cli answer [04:32] killerbeesatem1: Yeah, it's super frustrating, [04:32] thinsoldier: Nautilus is another option [04:32] thinsoldier, you should be able to try to open the system monitor [04:32] hairulfr: thanks for all your help tonight. It was driving me nuts... and now I can finish the thread someone else started with some kind of advice. [04:32] and again with the cryptic commands. Someone please tell me what the "DF" stands for? [04:32] or go to Places>My Computer [04:32] bruenig, oh well, I like the ubuntu community, and I have this gutsy install working fine now... Linux is linux imo... there will always be an infinite number of choices, I'll stay with ubuntu [04:32] it would be less alien If i understood what the letters were an abbreviation for [04:32] then right clieck on filesystem... and go to property [04:32] killerbeesatem1: But good you made it work. Yeah, no problem, didn't really do all that much, you fixed it yourself :) [04:33] silent, I am just kidding, I don't know how good pclinuxos, I imagine it is probably the same as ubuntu/fedora/opensuse which are pretty much identical [04:33] thinsoldier, "du" in terminal it stands for disk usage [04:33] df -h is a command at a xterm [04:33] thanks sobbie [04:33] ;) [04:33] thinsoldier, also du -h means human readable [04:33] bruenig: phew [04:33] thinsoldier: you can type man df [04:33] been at it for 10 minutes and didnt see that [04:33] <-- still seeking help, started this morning... OS: Ubuntu-feisty, Symptom: after loading OS, gui freezes/locks as soon as mouse/cursor is moved, Suspected Cause: last thing I did before rebooting and discovered reoccuring sympom was use "Add/Remove Applications" and added Nvidia drivers...

[04:34] thanks soldats [04:34] thinsoldier, I would guess df = disk free [04:34] bro_man, what do you need [04:34] this may sound crazy but I'd rather type "disk usage" than "du" [04:34] bruenig, doesn't fedora push the non-proprietary policy though? I think I remember it not being able to play mp3's default, only ogg...? [04:34] its more user friendly to a noob I think [04:34] silent, not true [04:34] thinsoldier, the bash shell doesnt work that way [04:34] hi all, i installed vmware workstation on my ubuntu box and when i restarted all my fancy compiz went away, i see it's not in the startup list anymore...does anyone know the command to start it? [04:34] thinsoldier, Places > Computer, right click on a thingo and it should say how much is free/used [04:34] thinsoldier: man and almost any command will bring up the manual for that command [04:35] ok uh i was using xchat, and all of a sudden, the load average for the system raiply climbs and aplay processes lock up and don't play anything and refuse to respond to signal 16 to kill. or a SIGTERM. [04:35] crshman: you have ccsm installed? [04:35] pro_man... unsintall nvideia driver... [04:35] silent, well ubuntu can't play mp3's by default, no distro can except the lindows/linspire/mepis's of the world that pay to be able to include them [04:35] thinsoldier, no, I would much rather type du, it being much easier [04:35] broman [04:35] hairulfr: hey, i would have never of thought of googling what i did without us going back and forth. [04:35] :( 1 gig free [04:35] thinsoldier, also Nautilus should say X Free Space in the status bar [04:35] this has happened before. load average is at 58.16 and rising. [04:35] soldats: I need to use my system without wiping my boot... everything is right there... [04:35] bazhang: i should, i didn't uninstall anything i think some config files just got overwritten [04:35] hi all [04:35] i'm running gutsy, so it *should* be installed already [04:35] bro_man, you need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:35] bro_man, sorry what do you mean by wiping the boot [04:36] maxo, how's it going? [04:36] bruenig, true enough, but I like how synaptic works though.. makes installing further software a breeze [04:36] crshman: alt-f2 compiz --replace [04:36] Ashfire908: If firefox is open with some Flash animations playing, close it [04:36] well i also needed to know the total capacity [04:36] Atomic_UE, ok, yeah I just installed startup-manager, interesting though, it reckons my resolution is set to 640x480 with 8bit at boot [04:36] thinsoldier, in your file manager it should tell you everything [04:36] it's a winduhs termm... to wipe the drive [04:36] awesome, thnx [04:36] killerbeesatem1: Cool, well, glad you got it working :) It was quite interesting, never really seen that happen, much else, but not that :P [04:37] silent, yeah they all have graphical package managers [04:37] maxo, well that answers my next question [04:37] sobbie ? [04:37] thinsoldier, du -h should tell you everything [04:37] any one know about boot network card? [04:37] lgc: What's up? [04:37] maxo, what size monitor is plugged in? [04:37] Is there an equivalent to "defrag" in linux? [04:37] bruenig, looking at the screenshots, pclinuxos looks like any other kde-based linux with some nice themes [04:37] FunnyLookinHat: ext3 doesn't need it (it does it as it goes) [04:38] maxo, 15, 17, 19, 21 inch? [04:38] FunnyLookinHat: Or rather, it keeps itself unfragmented, is a better way to put it. [04:38] silent, ubuntu looks like any other gnome based distro with an ugly brown theme [04:38] how can i force mount an ntfs drive? [04:38] genii: no this is not firefox related [04:38] heh [04:38] bro_man... thought it said you install driver... then problem happend...

[04:38] bruenig, ahaha, I never use the default theme [04:38] silent, I don't know that anyone does [04:38] Atomic_UE: it's a laptop 1024x768 lcd screen [04:39] sobbie: yes, correct. [04:39] genii: i shut it down. aplay does not respond. load is 96. [04:39] Hi [04:39] I do not know any commands but I can follow directions... [04:39] How can you make gnome show the contents of windows when they are resized? [04:39] thinsoldier, do "sudo fdisk -l" in a terminal and whatever hdd you want to boot do "sudo mount -a /mount/point" [04:39] maxo, try setting the resolution to 1024x768 and turn the colour depth to 16 bit [04:39] Flannel, sweet, so if I resize the drive it'll probably preserve the data, yeah? [04:39] Atomic_UE, ok, I'll try that now. have to reboot tho. brb :-) [04:39] !xconfig | bro_man try this [04:39] bro_man try this: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes [04:39] maxo, no worries :) [04:40] hi... so i just installed 7.10 a couple of days ago on a laptop with no internet connection, and i remember it saying something about updates. Since then i installed wifi-radar and internet works, and i try to use the update manager and it searches for updates but doesn't find any and says i'm up-to-date, even though i am sure i am not. am i stupid? [04:40] mmm3, you're probably up to date [04:40] how can i make and play a virtual cd rom/ [04:40] how can i make and play a virtual cd rom? [04:41] do the download iso's get updated? [04:41] xcst, mounting an iso? [04:41] xcst: you mean an iso file? [04:41] silent, yep [04:41] bazhang, yep [04:41] erm... I cant remember the filesystem name [04:41] mmm3: no, there will be updates waiting, are you sure you didn't update? [04:41] Ashfire908: No other immediate ideas come to mind [04:41] bruenig: so the exact command is " sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg " (without the quote marks ? [04:41] sure [04:41] xcst, I'll look it up [04:41] xcst - mount -loop something [04:42] bro_man, yes [04:42] mmm3: from the command line, sudo apt-get update [04:42] it says my drive is /dev/sda but when i try to mount that it fails [04:42] Ashfire908: top is showing aplay as most resource hog? [04:42] can't find /dev/sda in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [04:42] mmm3: once it's updated then, sudo apt-get upgrade [04:42] bro_man yep that is it [04:42] xcst, sudo mount file.iso /media/iso/ -t iso9660 -o loop [04:42] thinsoldier, do you want it to mount everytime at boot [04:42] genii: one sec [04:42] no just this once [04:42] external drive [04:42] xcst, if you're not familiar with mount, man mount [04:42] no [04:43] owww [04:43] thinsoldier - use part command to find partition [04:43] hi, I just installed gutsy in my desktop PC, but gdm couldn't be started, I just watched xorg log, and I have 3 errors: 1:Cannot find empty range to map base to, 2:Vesa(0): Cannot read v_bios(3), 3: Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration [04:43] can anyone help me? [04:43] genii: i just tried restarting alsa. [04:43] Ashfire908: What IS top resource hog? [04:43] thinsoldier, so if you unplug it and plug it back in it doesnt auto mount [04:43] bash: part: command not found [04:43] genii: it locks up. [04:43] I have an ati radeon x700 [04:43] it wont auto mount cuz its an ntfs and the error message says windows didnt shut down properly (which is hasn't in 3 years) [04:44] lulu, try a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:44] genii: xorg compiz, gnome-system-monitor, it varies [04:44] sorry cfpart or parted [04:44] Ashfire908: I would suspect something in compiz. [04:44] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmout-iso-images-without-burning-them.html xcst [04:45] genii: besides no sound and a load passing 165.23, nothing else says anything is wrong [04:45] silent, and which driver should I use?, this is a fresh install [04:45] thinsoldier, i auto mount an ntfs everyday i wonder why it doesnt work you could also add it to the /etc/fstab file and it will mount everytime and if you want to unmount it right click and choose unmount [04:45] vesa is good for compatibility [04:45] though you can try ati [04:45] Ashfire908: Laptop? [04:45] genii: it's at normal resources. [04:45] * thinsoldier runs off to buy a hard drive, install windows, boot, plug in external drive, shut down windows properly, restart in ubuntu, mount external drive :( see ya later, thanks [04:45] genii: no. [04:45] sudo apt get update fetches 1B in 0 sec reading package lists and then done [04:46] why doesnt totem play OGG Video? [04:46] doesn't seem to have udated anything [04:46] Ashfire908: Rules out cpu scaling making it seem like unusually high load then [04:46] genii: right now, i just want to kill aplay. [04:46] or what plugin is required to play it? [04:46] it seems that thinsoldier is impatient and it also seems he doesnt want to learn to use linux [04:46] meoblast001, you're missing codecs [04:46] hi, could anyone recommend me a package for transcoding audio, eg from mp3 to ogg? [04:46] meoblast001, just get vlc [04:46] endru cabul [04:46] genii: the issuse appear to be comming from alsa itself. [04:46] i have vlc [04:46] then use it [04:46] silent, well, I'm using vesa, I didn't modify anything :S, install app chose vesa [04:46] VLC dies too [04:46] lulu, try the reconfigure [04:46] Ashfire908: sudo kill `ps ax|grep aplay|cut -b1-6` [04:47] meoblast001, have you tried to play the video in any other OSes? [04:47] genii: the kernel modlue is in the kernel/loaded. no scaling is taking place. [04:47] Atomic_UE, no luck, says I passed an undefined video mode. I guess I'll just have to live without pretty splash screens :-( [04:47] mmm3: there won't be any lists to grab if you're up to date [04:47] meoblast001, are you sure the file is intact? [04:47] mmm3: did you upgrade too? [04:47] genii: no output. [04:47] silent: i dont know... the recommended Ubuntu ScreenCast programs made these files [04:47] maxo, an undefined video mode? that's one i ain't heard of [04:47] i really wonder if anyone has ever googled "learn linux" and actually read some web pages. it seems to me that there is a lot of information in those pages. a lot of the problem i see on this channel would be easily described and or fixed if someone were to read up on it [04:47] Ashfire908: ps ax|grep aplay [04:47] mmm3, you may have to check your sources in synaptic.. make sure you have repos enabled [04:47] genii: 202+ load. [04:48] yes i ran sudo apt-get upgrade [04:48] How can I send resize2fs a size in MB rather than sectors for a partition resize? [04:48] maxo, try a lower/other resolution [04:48] soldats, I learned by diving in... it's been a few years now [04:48] Ashfire908: Sounds like some memory leak [04:48] reading the dist wiki is another good way to learn how to work the system the way you want to [04:48] "if you're wondering how he eats and breathes and other science facts...." [04:48] Atomic_UE, thanks for the help anyway, I'll fiddle around a bit more, and maybe who knows... [04:48] mmm3, I'm not really a big fan of upgrades [04:48] 0 upgraded 0 newly installed [04:48] maxo, ok [04:49] hello [04:49] mmm3, oh, nvm [04:49] I need some help [04:49] Atomic_UE, thanks :-) [04:49] bye [04:49] silent, yea me too its been a few years but i have also read many many pages on the stuff and have learnt a lot from that [04:49] genii: memory is normal. ram and swap [04:49] i installed from a 7.10 cd so i shouldn't need to upgrade? [04:49] maxo, no worries, cya [04:49] soldats, yep [04:49] genii: buttload of stuff. [04:49] silent:? [04:49] mmm3, upgrade is just upgrading packages [04:49] ... [04:49] Hmm [04:49] mmm3, dist-upgrade upgrades the distribution release [04:50] o right... [04:50] mmm3: did you set up a connection and upgrade during the install maybe? [04:50] mmm3, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [04:50] any suggestions? There must be something out there for converting audio [04:50] it's just wierd because i have a desktop with 7.10 on it since release, and have updated it successfully [04:50] Ashfire908: I'm out of immediate ideas again, and food has arrived to my door [04:50] genii: i tryed to stop alsa. it won't shut down. [04:51] sexcopter: Just a second, I'll find it for you [04:51] I wish to modprobe snd-serial-u16550 and am running into an error message 'No such device'. Can someone help? It doesn't seem to be covered at the forums or wiki. [04:51] but this recent install on the laptop hasn't 'updated' anything... === makk is now known as kam [04:51] hairulfr: thanks muchly [04:51] Wingless-Archang what kinda help? [04:51] sexcopter, audacity [04:51] meoblast001, it's unlikely that vlc is the problem.... try playing a sample ogg video [04:52] genii: i can't stop the stopping of it either [04:52] i tried ati, fglrx, and radeon drivers from repository without luck, do you recommend to use ati's website binary package?, my card is an ati radeon x700 [04:52] Ashfire908: Before I leave to eat, perhaps use the kill -9 [04:52] sexcopter: lame programs [04:52] soldats: ok, i didn't even know it existed for ubutnu, i've used it before for windows, so that's an ideal solution. thanks! [04:52] genii: doesn't respond. [04:52] Ashfire908: Is there some window open in the gui that is nonresponsive? [04:52] is there a way to tell what 'updates' are installed? [04:53] !video [04:53] Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically. For older versions of Ubuntu, or if you can't use the automatic installer, see https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications [04:53] sexcopter: What do you need to convert, btw :) I forgot the name of that oter program, but depending on what it is you need to convert [04:53] hey, I can't run "Alfred Teach Yourself Guitar" under Windows XP because Adobe bought Macromedia and now it crashes with Adobe's player. (This is an Executable, not webbased) Will crossover or WINE work? [04:53] this is for a serial MIDI interface and the only solution I found involved adding a demudi repo to the apt... didn't seem right [04:53] genii: nope. [04:53] is vlc a nice player for dvds? [04:53] mmm3, no idea, things just work on this end... have you looked in the synaptic settings for repositories? [04:53] Ashfire908: Ok. Leaving to get nourishment. I hope someone esle will assist [04:53] silent: so all the other programs involved are the problem [04:53] mmm3: you could check out the log [04:54] silent: EVERY SINGLE ONE? [04:54] hairulfr: i have some mp3s and want to convert them to ogg, i see there's a package mp32ogg, but i'm guessing it's very minimal and requires some clever knowledge i don't have! :p [04:54] anyone know how to force a process to end? [04:54] mmm3: /var/log/apt/something [04:54] I suspect there's a better way than just installing a kernel from a different distro... just to... build a serial interface module?! [04:55] sexcopter, cool [04:55] killall [04:55] sexcopter: you will loose sound quality going from mp3 to ogg, there really isn't any reason to do this [04:55] like destory the process? alsa, aplay, and alsactl do not respond to signal 15 or 6. [04:55] meoblast001, I'm not familiar with linux encoding software, but if the video doesnt play in vlc, and doesnt play in totem with the proper codecs installed, then I'm afraid you might have a corrupt file on your hands [04:55] I just tried using the devices from a QEMU/Win2k MIDI program... works :) So I know the hardware's good. and the port's working... but I need the ALSA driver to use snd_serial_u16550 I think [04:55] silent, true [04:55] Ashfire908, if it's got a GUI window you can see, Alt+F2, type/run xkill, click on the evil window [04:56] silent: how do i get those codecs... which one do i need in synaptic? [04:56] The gpsd manual is inscrutible. How do I figure out how to get it to connect to my GPS device? I'm connecting through a USB port. And how do I know once it's connected? [04:56] lazarus_lupine: nope. [04:56] try to play the file on windows or download a sample ogg video file and see if it plays [04:56] Ashfire908, pgrep kill [04:56] Atomic_UE: nope it's aplay. [04:56] Ashfire908, otherwise System > Administration > System Monitor. Find the program and END it, if END doesn't work, right-click and KILL [04:56] Help!!! Can anyone help me solve this eclipse issue, It wont run on Ubuntu Gutsy I have reinstalled it several times checked my Java version and nothing. Can someone take a look at my eclipse error log here: http://www.pastebin.org/10869 [04:56] sexcopter: http://www.perturb.org/display/entry/687/ this is on the mp32ogg, someone made a scrip so it can convert a ton of files :) you can also try audacity (sudo apt-get audacity) [04:56] Hey all, for some reason none of the settings that i change in gnome are being saved. I reboot and the resolution drops back to 800x640 [04:57] sexcopter: sudo-apt get install [04:57] lgc: There are several dictionaries with Gutsy. Which one do you refer to? [04:57] Ashfire908, "pgrep aplay" then do "kill Hi, could anyone help me with GIMP. When i set the dimensions, and press scale, nothing happened [04:57] Is there a better channel for kernel module questions? [04:57] Atomic_UE: does not respond to either. i've tried that 20 times. [04:57] for video ediing which is better and easier pls cinerella or blender? [04:57] <\`slushpuppy`\> I am doing an image scale better [04:57] <\`slushpuppy`\> I am doing an image scale btw* [04:58] \`slushpuppy`\, sometimes that happens if your not on the correct layer (if you have layers that is) [04:58] Ashfire908, ah a zombie....restart? [04:58] @asik [04:58] ernie: I am afraid, there is not. There are channels where kernel develpers communicate but they will not talk to you. [04:58] vlc includes the codecs in its install for its use... for totem you'll need.... try libtheora0 [04:59] bullgard4, :) OK. I'll just lurk for awhile... repost... lurk... that OK in here? [04:59] eyemean: Open Movie Editor: http://openmovieeditor.sourceforge.net/HomePage [04:59] there is no 'setting up' or 'updating' of any packages (other than ones i have installed) in /var/log/apt/term.log [04:59] silent, what do you think is the best player for ubuntu? just like wm player for windows [04:59] eyemean: blender is more of a 3d modeling app, what are you trying tod ? [04:59] \`slushpuppy`\, also sometimes it may scale an image but it zooms in so you may not notice a difference these are the problem i encountered with gim if those dont work im not too sure about your problem [04:59] Hi, I want to use bcp (associated with the boost libraries). But some examples from the manpage only work with --boost=/usr/include and the others don't work at all. Is anybody really using bcp? [04:59] mmm3: i'm at a loss... [04:59] ernie: I do not know the word 'lurk'. Say it in other words, please. [05:00] soothsayer, trying to edit an engagemtn video for friend [05:00] why ubuntu is so vulnerable? [05:00] xcst, windows media player is the second largest piece of crap media player ever made... the first being itunes [05:00] rmaj: its not [05:00] bullgard4, lurk means to remain silent and only read the other conversations [05:00] rmaj: vulnerable to what? [05:00] silent, i cant play my dvd cd properly in totem [05:00] silen: hahaha [05:00] xcst, rhythmbox for music, vlc for video [05:00] eyemean: if you just need to cut parts out and recompress avidemux is pretty good [05:00] how, i want to use sawfish instead of metacity. but i try "killall metacity" but it just comes back a second later.. what do I do? [05:00] silent, ok thanks [05:00] bazhang: it is [05:01] deadlock: to: memtest 2000M [05:01] rmaj: please stop [05:01] Long story short, can I have an ati card *and* nvidia on feisty? [05:01] wat if i want to make snazzy transitions from scene to scene stuff like that, add tetxt etc [05:01] rabiddachshund, that's worse than dividing by zero [05:01] do you recommend using ati's website binary to install ati radeon x700 video card?, I just tried ati, radeon, and fglrx driver without luck, they tell me they can't find any screen [05:01] soldats: i've given it signal 6, or SIGABRT a core dump signal. using "kill" alone did what i expected. nothing. [05:01] soothsayer [05:01] i wish i could remember the message i got during install about updates or something...some file in /etc [05:01] hahaha [05:01] crap. [05:01] matthew_, sudo /etc/init.d/metacity stop [05:01] rabiddachshund, it's probably possible [05:02] rabiddachshund, ive heard of it being done befor. [05:02] ernie: My advise would be post your module question here. If nobody answers re-post your question after a quarter of an hour and do this again and again until some new aspect of the matter arises. [05:02] I guess I'll just remove one. [05:02] deadlock: did it worked for you? [05:02] rabiddachshund, good choice [05:02] Which is supported better, ati x600 or walmart nvidia? [05:02] soldats: command not found [05:02] matthew_: sawfish should have a replace command as well, "sawfish --replace" maybe? THen save you're session after. Maybe also you can "killall metacity && sawfish" [05:02] Ashfire908, "pgrep aplay" then do "sudo kill -s 9 " [05:02] Ashfire908, ok well what i meant was pgrep the app name and it will show the process id and then do another command like "kill process id [05:02] rabiddachshund, always nvidia, but if the ati is more powerful, try it first [05:02] nvidia [05:02] bullgard4, :) right, then. thank you [05:02] Atomic: not a zombie. "uninturtible. i've gotten this error before. last time i ended holding the power button after like pressing it a bunch of times and the system failing to shutdown. [05:02] kthanks [05:02] kelsin: sawfish --replace doesn't work. [05:02] No bcp user around? Too bad. *sigh* [05:03] bazhang: install program memtest and run memtest 3000M to prove me wrong. save all open documents first, since ubuntu will crash (well, freez) [05:03] matthew_, if you run system monitor does it show up if it does then try to end it [05:03] kelsin: neither does the other suggestion === phoenix999 is now known as _phoenix_ [05:03] matthew_: you can also go into the session manager and tell metacity not to restart as well, then kill it, then start sawfish [05:03] rmaj, who run's memtest within linux? [05:03] matthew_, if that doesnt work then you will need it to not run on startup [05:03] soldats: kills it, but it comes back a second later [05:03] *scratches chin* [05:03] atomic: nope. [05:03] silent: guys that write this utlility; or use any program that needs lots of memory [05:04] matthew_, do what kelsin suiggested [05:04] Ashfire908, evil process indeed :S [05:04] rmaj, memtest86, test all your memory, not just that which isn't occupied by operating programs [05:04] silent, i run memtest86 [05:04] only when i need it [05:04] hwo can you make gdesklets work on startup? [05:04] silent: sigh, the goal is that user space application can easy crash system [05:05] soldats, kelsin: that seems to have worked, thanks. [05:05] soothsayer, wat if i want to make snazzy transitions from scene to scene stuff like that, add tetxt etc [05:05] xcst, i believe there is a config file for it im not sure [05:05] ahha looks like stuff was commented out in /etc/apt/sources.list by the installer [05:05] rmaj, it's easy to create programs that will crash a system. Fortunately, that's the opposite of the goal! [05:05] rmaj: you have a support question? [05:06] silent: the goal is to have system that can't be crashed [05:06] rmaj, not possible [05:06] rmaj, any system can be crashed [05:06] rmaj: take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please [05:06] silent, soldats: right. crash freebsd [05:06] rmaj: do like OLPC and devise a system where every app is virtualized [05:06] bazhang: how to make my ubuntu not vulnerable to this [05:06] rmaj: def not crash proof, but closer [05:06] eyemean: i've never done anything like that in linux, try cinelerra maybe, but i think it only takes dv input [05:07] rmaj, I could very easily crash bsd, but I'd have to use a hardware hack... I call it the power button [05:07] flash is all screwed up in 64 bit 7.10 [05:07] kelsin: fork bomb are really lame attack to which ubuntu should be resistant... its also quite easy to fix [05:07] I know that when I delete something on an NTFS Drive it goes to .trashes on the root of that drive. Now, how do I ACTUALLY delete the file from inside of .trashes? [05:07] silent: and can user space application crash entire system? [05:08] ok who was helping me when my nick was ashfire908? [05:08] soothsayer, ok thanx [05:08] rmaj, from your trolling in #linux you clearly know that this is something inherent in linux perhaps, and not just Ubuntu... so why bother us about it? [05:08] rmaj, run this in a terminal on any *nix based system ":(){ :|: };:" it will certainly crash it [05:08] hi all [05:08] what does the 64 bit flash package actually do, cause I thought there still wasn't an adobe 64 bit release? [05:08] is anyone know the download manager for linux which can stop the PC after complete the download [05:08] thinsoldier, the file managers normally have a 'delete dont trash' shortcut some how. or just find the .trash* dir and delete it (dont move it to the trash) :) [05:08] thinsoldier, Shift+Delete on .Trash [05:08] kill_u_: stop the pc? [05:08] i turned on show hidden but still dont see a .trashes [05:08] if i go into windows i can see it [05:09] yes [05:09] kill_u_: "wget file && sudo reboot" as long as you can sudo the reboot without a password [05:09] astro76: bug is in kernel, but some distros fix it a bit by default.. apparently not ubuntu; and yes, poiting out any problem in god blessed linux is basicly trolling [05:09] kelsin, is that the GNU version maybe? [05:09] Ashfire_Server, I don't know about helping, but trying to seems more accurate :P [05:09] Anyone have a waffles.fm invite? if so plz PM me. :) [05:09] kill_u_: no idea what that means :} [05:09] soldats: orly> [05:09] sudo want pass [05:09] if i sleep at 5 o'clock which will give the pass [05:09] atomic_ue: i sent aplay evey core dump signal. then compiz showed pidgin locked up [05:09] soldats: it doesnt crash my other box [05:09] ignore this text [05:09] rmaj, I'm sure if you went to the top programmers in the world, hackers, malware writers, I'm sure they'd bring bsd to it's knees by running an application. Nothing is invincible. [05:09] rmaj, no this is a help based channel you shouldnt come here telling people about how it sucks or there is a lot of bugs in it [05:09] !bugs | rmaj [05:09] rmaj: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.ubuntu.com/ - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-bots [05:10] rmaj, is it *nix based running BASH [05:10] ernie: flashplugin-nonfree is available on 64bit in gutsy, which confused me, I guess I should just look at the package [05:10] Ashfire_Server, do you know what spawnd the aplay command? [05:10] rmaj; pay canonical for support and they'll listen to you complain [05:10] rmaj, regardless, this isn't the place for bsd talk, if you would like to make ubuntu resistant to fork bombs, do it up [05:10] hey how can I unarchive a rar file? [05:10] rmaj: please stop [05:10] bazhang: this means that sudo will want password [05:10] silent: some bsd's are. there are probably high prices, but it can't be broken. common it's not windows, be optimistic [05:10] Ashfire_Server, and perhaps why aplay is still waiting? I'm assuming for some device [05:10] shaan, apt-get unrar or similar [05:10] !rar | shaan [05:10] shaan: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [05:10] thanks [05:10] Atomic_UE: i did a gui shutdown. nothing happened. i did ctrl-alt-backspace. xorg reset, the system tryied to shutdown, but failed at stopping a alsa and i held the power button down. [05:11] rmaj, OSX isn't windows either, but I've seen it crash [05:11] and it's a bsd derivative [05:11] soldats: yes, my box is immune to forkbomb. your can be to with ulimit (well its harder with it) [05:11] please keep on topic [05:11] Atomic_UE: xchat spanwed it. [05:11] kill_u_: not sure what you are trying to do [05:11] is there a linux IM client that can accept files across msn messenger? [05:11] thinsoldier, try amsn [05:11] amsn [05:11] thinsoldier, pidgin [05:11] thinsoldier: pidgin [05:11] soldats: my question was, is there some clever way to prevent this bug in ubuntu [05:11] thinsoldier: pidgin works for me [05:12] Hi. Trying to play a 3gp file from a friend. I added the mediubuntu gusty repository to SPM and installed ffplay. Also have the w32codecs installed. I get video but no audio. [05:12] rmaj, what bug exactly [05:12] !ot | rmaj [05:12] rmaj: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [05:12] kill_u_: you could always allow your user to shutdown the system via sudo without password, so that you can script it [05:12] hi, i just installed amd catalyst 7.11, configured xorg.conf for composite, and compiz won't work. [05:12] soldats: running program that uses lots of memory freezes the system [05:12] I try to download file and after that i just want to stop the machine [05:12] kill_u_: wget ..... && shutdown -h now [05:12] kill_u_: as root probably [05:13] this not work [05:13] Ashfire_Server, kill xchat? but i assume that's already been tried seeing as you've done the ctrl+alt+backspace [05:13] rmaj, if a program uses lots or memory it is due to the developer who designed it not the OS [05:13] i'm trying to install some brother printer drivers... tried installing, didn't work, so i wanted to remove it and try again, but now i can't get it to remove. [05:13] kill_u_, you could always 'suid' the shutdown or halt command. then any user could use them to shut down. :) (not a good idea for security howevber) === Bawbatos_Away is now known as Babatos [05:13] as root the file will be changed and cannot be read from users [05:13] rmaj, if its a problem try using a defferent program [05:13] squarebracket: Try making it work without driver first, just tell CUPS to find it, [05:13] kill_u_: then do what I said and make it so you can sudo shutdown without a password [05:14] I am not able to downlaod sources using svn co [05:14] nevermind, compiz.real works *sorta* [05:14] rom11: what error ar eyou getting? [05:14] soldats: you actually belive this nonsense you are saying? ok, IE6 is as safe as firefox, if crash installs a virus via IE, its the site fault, not the application nor sytem... jesus [05:14] it is asking for the password [05:15] hairulfr: didn't work... i installed it via localhost:631 or whatever, went with whatever driver it thought i should use, and the print test page didn't work.... [05:15] speaking of, how stable is Ubuntu's version of ffox3 ? [05:15] rom11: what sources are you talking about? [05:15] but I can go through the webbwowser [05:15] rmaj: this is a support channel [05:15] then it do now ask for password [05:15] what's the command for switching workspaces? [05:15] Ashfire_Server, the only thing i can suggest for your problem is the Reset button [05:16] Ashfire_Server, other than that i'm out of ideas [05:16] Atomic_UE: already did. [05:16] Atomic_UE: had to hold it down. [05:16] I am doing practice on embedded systems, so I am downloading from opwnwrt siye [05:16] site [05:16] hello [05:16] hi AprilHare [05:16] !info webkitgtk [05:16] Package webkitgtk does not exist in gutsy [05:16] Ashfire_Server, That sounds like power button [05:16] ramon, your talking about a virus not mem usage [05:17] Atomic_UE: yes, [05:17] *. [05:17] Ashfire_Server, but still anything that just resets the computer to start it up again is all i can think of [05:17] rmaj, firefox has never crashed for in ubuntu [05:17] Ashfire_Server, It happens everytime you run xchat? [05:17] hi kelsin [05:17] step 1) hold power button for 4 seconds... step 2) ???? ... step 3) Profit [05:17] i installed a third party application under ubuntu. it does not particularly know anything specific about ubuntu (it installs itself with a shell script) and the only way to run it is via shell script. is there any way to add it to the applications menu, or as a shortcut on the desktop? [05:17] how to resent my ubuntu box? [05:18] rmaj: reset? [05:18] yes [05:18] rmaj: hahah. Make it do naughty things! [05:18] default kernel dont include sysrq [05:18] rmaj: what is the issue? [05:18] system -> quit [05:18] rmaj: yes it does. [05:18] silent: mouse cursor do not work [05:18] http://suspend.sourceforge.net/download.shtml: "In orded to try µswsusp you must run a recent -mm kernel or mainline 2.6.17-rc1." What is an '-mm kernel'? [05:18] i'm also getting a "package corrupted or improper permissions" dialog from gdebi when trying to use the .deb package that worked before.

[05:18] rmaj, ctrl+alt+f1 [05:19] sudo shutdown -r now [05:19] what was sequence for sync, unmount, reboot? and what was for free memory [05:19] silent: switch to VT doesnt work [05:19] bazhang: mathematica [05:19] svn co is not working for me [05:19] silent: caps lock doesnt work, mouse cursor move once per 3 minutes [05:19] it is asking for the password [05:19] rom11: whats teh problem? well give the password [05:19] AprilHare: just a moment--checking [05:19] Hi. Trying to play a 3gp file from a friend. I added the mediubuntu gusty repository to SPM and installed ffplay. Also have the w32codecs installed. I get video but no audio. [05:19] AprilHare: right click on the ubuntu icon, edit menu [05:19] but there is no password [05:19] rmaj, what are you doing to your box that it can't respond? [05:19] Naisenu: try various players; vlc mplayer kaffeine [05:19] bullgard4: -mm kernel is a development where new features are often tested before being imported into the main kernel tree [05:20] I can browse the files using browser without any pasword [05:20] rom11: You'll have to take that up with the place you are getting the svn from, theres nothing we can do about it [05:20] rom11: svn co https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/tags/kamikaze_7.09 [05:20] silent: well I run memtest to test memory, I should be arrested [05:20] rom11: I just ran that and was able to download, don't know what version you're trying but it's not asking me for a password [05:20] soothsayer: Ah! Thank you for explaining. [05:20] rom11: that command was found on this page: https://dev.openwrt.org/ [05:20] whats sysrq to kill memory? [05:20] rmaj, tried ctrl+alt+backspace? [05:20] Hello all. How does one instantly and automatically arrange icons on the desktop? Thank you for any help. [05:21] silent: nothig; with caps lock not working Im not too optimistic [05:21] how do I kill a process if sudo kill is not working? [05:21] CaptainMorgan: kill -9 it ass [05:21] CaptainMorgan: you can try "sudo kill -9 " [05:21] rmaj, press and hold the power button for 4 seconds [05:21] silent: and corrut fs? [05:21] *corrupt [05:21] why would it corrupt the fs? are you writing massive amounts of data? [05:22] I think my aMSN skin should replace the current default Ubuntu one. [05:22] soothsayer: Do you know where the letters 'mm' stem from? (So that I can better remember them.) [05:22] yay many thanks [05:22] thanks rmaj kelsin [05:22] AprilHare: you want to run it from the run command, or add a gui menu item? [05:22] silent: brillian kernel is using hard drive all the time last 20 minues, I think it tries to swap out the kernel code for swapping or somthing equally stupid [05:22] !language | rmaj [05:22] rmaj: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [05:22] CaptainMorgan: -9 is the kill signal, not the ask the proces to stop politely signal :) [05:22] hi kelsin [05:22] rmaj, that's just swap, kill it [05:22] bazhang: i just added a gui menu item [05:22] it i sasking me for password [05:23] AprilHare: good news [05:23] is it really need to Sudo [05:23] anyone know a iso buner for ubuntu ? [05:23] OH JESUS CRIST [05:23] rom11: then you need to write the openwrt people, cause it really has nothing to do with ubuntu if you're running the right command and getting a password. It has to do with their svn server [05:23] linuxftw, it's built in, right click the iso [05:23] it took just 20 minutes to react to my alt+ctrl+del! yee heew [05:23] ooh! kk :) yhnx silent [05:23] linuxftw: xacetone iso [05:23] linuxftw: right click burner [05:23] howcome you are able to dwonload [05:23] rom11: no you don't need to sudo, why are you running sudo, install the code in your home directory and use the commands listed right on dev.openwrt.org [05:23] rmaj: don't use the Lords name in vain. wait until you really stuff things up [05:24] :D [05:24] bullgard4: wikipedia says it was originally used to test memory management code [05:24] haha [05:24] your lord, not mine [05:24] Is there a working repository for Cinelerra on Gutsy? [05:24] soothsayer: You are really helpful. Thank you very much. [05:24] silent: what gave you that impression? [05:24] rmaj: I suspect its a hardware issue [05:24] HI ppl [05:24] hi QuickRider [05:24] AprilHare, silent: lets drop it please [05:25] bazhang: no, just kernel sucks [05:25] rmaj: PLEASE WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE! [05:25] jrib, true enough, not even worth debating [05:25] kam: oh damn, I said sucks [05:25] oh shit I said damn! [05:25] rmaj: AND ASS [05:25] uhoh [05:25] Atomic_UE: sometimes. there seems to be no pattern [05:25] you said ass! [05:25] OH NO [05:25] stop... [05:25] *I* said ass! [05:25] uh oh [05:25] hai.. [05:25] hai... [05:25] ok, I'm running a live disk since my laptop hard drive blew out, is there a way to boot the desktop live disk to a shell only so I can save memory and load mu internet connection sharing? I run out of memory whenever X runs cause it doesn't have enough to download dnsmasq and ipmasq into ram [05:25] jrib: ok ok no need to be grave serious? [05:26] hi.. [05:26] now ubuntu lunched 150 KSnapshot applications for me, I am so happy [05:26] hi danker [05:26] technically and ass is just a donkey [05:26] rmaj, kam: you need to keep the channel family-friendly and, most importantly, on-topic [05:26] an* [05:26] RabidWeezle, ya could download the packages to a usb/thumb drive.. I guess. never tried to tweak the live cd that much. [05:26] 155, and counting... how to FORCE the shutdown _now_, using mouse only, in kde? [05:26] Danker- ASL [05:26] or is there a way to have it mount a flash drive and use it for downloads? [05:27] hi... [05:27] hello danker [05:27] RabidWeezle, when it downloads them they go to /var/cache/apt (i think) ya could move them from there to a USB drive [05:27] did you get the message "the certificate hostname does not match" [05:27] RabidWeezle: you could do as Dr_willis suggests pendrivelinux dot com has much more on that front [05:27] rom11: no [05:27] Dr_willis: is there a file I can edit to change where they are downloaded to? [05:27] RabidWeezle, if you really wanted to go hard-core ya could also put a swap file/partition on a usb drive. [05:27] rmaj, power button, 4 seconds [05:27] Dr_willis, thats what I'd do [05:27] does it require any ssl package to be installed [05:28] RabidWeezle, no idea on there. download them. copy them over.. then ya can isntall with sudo dpkg -i whever.deb [05:28] k, it was hard enough to download ubuntu live disk on a psp at the hotspot lol [05:28] rmaj: a click of the power button should shut it down. ctrl-alt-backspace restarts xorg [05:28] ok [05:28] The Ubuntu live cd - is a bit lacking in ways compared to other live cd's out there. [05:28] I can probly download the packages using my psp [05:28] Ashfire_Server: I had to sysrq-b it [05:28] Dr_willis, I dont even download the live cd anymore... alternate ftw [05:28] * RabidWeezle gets his psp [05:28] rom11: don't know, if it did then I must have it, seriously goto your home dir and type "mkdir src; cd src" then run the checkout command on dev.openwrt.org and you should be fine [05:28] for a low end system DSL, or PUPPY Linux - are darn nice live cd's [05:29] rmaj: that button actually does something? [05:29] Ashfire_Server: I hit combination... one rebooted [05:29] silent: same here :) [05:29] Dr_willis, they are meant to be live distros, ubuntu works best on a hard drive [05:29] Dr_willis do they do laptops well? [05:29] What is the advantage of the alernate? [05:29] and corrupted my FS \o/ hurray for ubuntu, almost secure system... [05:29] and dsl uses 2.2 or 2.4 kernel with fluxbox and a few tiny apps [05:29] Hello guys. I am on my wife's laptop currently, which I put ubuntu 7.04 on quite a few months ago. Yesterday however, I decided to open adept package manage and do a distribution upgrade. It got to the point where it was installing packages, then asked to remove some so I chose okay, at which point it crashed. It is usable, but I don't really know what happened or how to continue the process.. I haven't experienced bugs, but I [05:29] don't think this is a complete upgrade since it stopped about halfway through. What can I do? I tried updating packages and stuff, but there was nothing to, and it won't let me finish dist upgrade because it says I am on 7.10 now [05:29] its not even a fair comparison of performance [05:29] http://suspend.sourceforge.net/download.shtml differentiates between 'Official releases' and 'Latest release' of µswsusp. (I need s2ram.) What is the difference? [05:30] Sulo_: have you tried sudo apt-get upgrade? [05:30] outside of the package manager? [05:30] is there a way to initialize a command from a console and not have the console wait for it to finish? [05:30] presumably latest releases are unstable [05:30] Sulo_Seppa: everything running okay? [05:30] I've had synaptic shit the bed on me a few times [05:30] squarebracket: add a & at the end [05:30] there's gotta be a way to boot straight to console though on the live cd though right? [05:30] ohmy [05:30] Sulo_Seppa, you may want to try an upgrade -fix [05:30] sweet, thanks [05:30] err fix missing, something like that [05:30] RabidWeezle, they work good on the laptops ive tried them on [05:30] looking for an alternative to google deskbar search [05:31] anyone know of one [05:31] cool [05:31] ice9_, www.google.com works pretty well [05:31] ice9_: tracker? [05:31] no for index searching on your system [05:31] internal searching [05:32] ice9_: tracker and beagle seem to be the popular ones [05:32] k thx [05:32] * genii slips in and sips a coffee [05:32] ok guys, I'm gonna fork bomb my laptop [05:32] silent: you mean apt-get upgrade -fix? [05:32] brb, maybe [05:32] fix-missing I think [05:32] Ashfire908: Get anywhere with that aplay/alsa issue? [05:32] google it [05:33] bazhang: well, it runs okay, but I don't know if it is complete or not [05:33] I think the ubuntu live would be better if it had a stripped down version aswell, like no firefox, pidgeon, that stuff, just lynx basic X with a xterm option [05:33] it will usually tell you if you need a fix-missing [05:33] silent: try real os like freebsd, or some hardened linux, for such stuff [05:33] silent, :(){ :|: };: [05:33] i know [05:33] got it on the clipboard right now [05:33] hahahaha [05:33] rom11: I wish we have a live cd that had options like that (or full blown desktop) and then a separate isntall cd that had graphical install (not full live cd), text install and cli on one cd [05:33] it starts with a sad face [05:33] rom11: wrong name that was meant for RabidWeezle [05:34] sad face of kernel doom [05:34] rmaj, i'm feeling adventurous [05:34] here we go LEEEEEROOOY JENKINSSSS [05:34] Sulo_Seppa: if it works and there are no fix missing warnings in the terminal then it may be alright--have you tried to install other stuff as a test? [05:34] for sure, I think debian has had such live cd's [05:34] silent, lol [05:34] * rmaj <--- silent had quit (my lame kernel can't protect self from too many threads at once) [05:34] syntax error [05:34] lame [05:34] silent: ulimits protects agains it I think right? [05:34] probly the best live cd though is the one you make yourself lol [05:35] RabidWeezle: kanotix thorhammer [05:35] rmaj, yea usualy but i think you have to set that yourself [05:35] soldats: yes, this is waht sucks [05:35] what? [05:35] lol [05:35] k its going i think [05:35] this is what people should change, when bazhang comes in with boring "its a support channel -> thinking prohibited here" [05:35] I wish this laptop could boot off a thumb drive though [05:36] what's a good, easy to set up FTP server? [05:36] http://suspend.sourceforge.net/download.shtml differentiates between 'Official releases' and 'Latest release' of µswsusp. (I need s2ram.) What is the difference? [05:36] RabidWeezle: hmm it can't boot from usb? [05:36] rmaj: you blaming me for the guidelines? they were here long before I arrived [05:36] older laptop... 1ghz. dell c610 [05:36] silent, :(){ :|:& };: [05:36] * rmaj throws godwin style reference @ bazhang [05:36] silent, i typoed [05:36] cellofellow, vsftpd [05:37] bazhang: yes I can install other stuff.. but I think I am missing some stuff that is on 7.10.. maybe I am just paranoid. [05:37] Kr0ntab: ok, thanks. [05:37] np [05:37] Sulo_Seppa: naything you really need seem to be missing? [05:37] I am running the command 'ffmpeg -i file.flv music.mp3' to rip the audio form flash movies. When the audio come sout though it sounds crappy compared the movie. How can I define the bitrate I want to audio at? [05:37] hay can someone help me install bluez-libs? [05:37] how do you execute a java (.jar) file? [05:37] silent, did you do it! [05:38] SudoKing: java -jar file.jar [05:38] bazhang: I am not too sure.. I think there is supposed to be some proprietary driver tool in 7.10 right? I don't use ubuntu on my computer, so I am not too sure [05:38] thanks [05:38] wish they made a bios update for this, but the funny part is if they did, I'd have to find some way to make a bootable dos cdrom [05:38] SudoKing, you need java support as well i believe [05:38] Sulo_Seppa: you want to install ubuntu-restricted-extras, as well as two packages from medibuntu.org--will help out if you need [05:38] SpeakerMania: -ab [05:39] is there some software to replace activesync for linux? something to sync a pocket pc phone edition to my ubuntu gutsy desktop [05:39] does anyone know if you can transfer from a linux box onto an r4 chip? [05:39] uh, I got the error: Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from pircbot.jar [05:40] rich1: what is an r4 chip? [05:40] soothsayer, so ffmpeg -i -ab 224 movie.flv audio.mp3 woudl that work? [05:40] soldats, what java files for support? [05:40] SpeakerMania: yep [05:40] SudoKing: then the pircbot.jar file doesn't define a Main class to run, you probably need to somehow run the bot like "java -cp pircbot.jar SomeClass" but I have no idea what that someClass should be [05:40] bazhang: it's a storage device for the nintendo ds. [05:40] soothsayer, thanks [05:41] * rmaj lols @ silent crashed computer [05:41] arooni, multisync and synce [05:41] that was fun [05:41] silent: reseted X ? [05:41] rich1: you wnat to boot ubuntu on your dreamsphere? [05:41] silent, did it work [05:41] power button, 4 seconds [05:42] silent: you lie [05:42] hi [05:42] arooni, one how-to that might help. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/pocket-pc-syncing-with-evolution-in-ubuntu.html [05:42] silent: you booted up back in few seconds? [05:42] how do you truely kill X on a livecd? [05:42] shit locked up... did my message go through? [05:42] soothsayer, when I run the command with -ab 224 it says the input file is corrput; without it is goes fine [05:42] hey hey [05:42] "oh my god its raping my computer!" [05:42] I want to test Evolution with GMail, but I can't figure out how to map Trash Spam, Drafts, etc. to [Gmail]/Trash... [05:42] bad language.. [05:42] silent: no [05:42] Hey [05:42] hmm [05:42] * Ashfire_Server gives rmaj a system with a run-away alsa and 15 non-responding aplay processes. [05:43] hay can someone help me install bluez-libs? [05:43] yea my cpu fan kept speeding up... massive swap writes [05:43] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47316/ [05:43] RabidWeezle, ctrl+alt+backspace or got o terminal and type exit [05:43] SpookyET, I don't believe you can [05:43] power button, 4 seconds [05:43] bazhang: no. the chip/card comes with software to transfer files from a computer to the chip/card. like the software that comes with a digital camera. [05:43] at least the trash... [05:43] Ashfire_Server: advanced kernel limiting of resources would fix it [05:43] my laptop is fairly speedy so restarting wasnt very time consuming [05:43] Okay update, i have totem, ffplayer, and vlc ... none of them give sound on the 3gp file i'm trying to play === chris__ is now known as MirrorImage [05:43] bazhang: Thanks. So just add the medibuntu to my repositories and then find the packages for my hardware? [05:43] ctrl+alt+backspace restarts X, exit will logout of a terminal [05:43] SpookyET, Thunderbird of course you can... works very well [05:43] bazhang: i'm wondering if that software will work with linux/ubuntu. [05:43] ctrl+alt+backspace/f1 didnt work [05:43] sorry i should explain the http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47316/ was my output for make && make install commands of that installation [05:44] Kr0ntab: I know. But thunderbird is so alien on gnome. Tracker does not index it... [05:44] SilenceGold, "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" [05:44] RabidWeezle, hmm then im not sure about live cd sorry [05:44] I want to free up what little ram I have lol [05:44] oops [05:44] silent, "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" [05:44] Sulo_Seppa: if you want to add all the repos you can, generally I just add dvd support and codec support--howtos on the site medibuntu.org [05:44] you know I tried that and it restarted lol [05:44] Kr0ntab, entire system was locked up, fork bombed myself [05:44] I am not kidding Kr0ntab lol [05:44] rich1: will check, just a moment [05:44] no access to a terminal [05:44] my music stopped playing [05:44] RabidWeezle, well for me i usually only use cli when i boot and i use terminal apps for everything like finch for aim irssi for irc and w3m or links2 for www [05:45] how do you use cli on a live cd? [05:45] SpeakerMania: try like this ffmpeg -ab 224 -imovie.flv audio.mp3 [05:45] I'm ussing irssi/lynx, but X won't die lol [05:45] whoops ffmpeg -ab 224 -i movie.flv audio.mp3 [05:45] RabidWeezle, see that i dont know how to do, i thought it gave you an option when it booted [05:46] wonder if the server cd is a live disk? [05:46] RabidWeezle, does ctrl+alt+del do it [05:46] Can someone help me install bluez-libs on Ubuntu 7.10 - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47316/ was my output for make && make install commands of that installation [05:46] soldats: I selected the "auto configure" option in xserver-xorg for my video card, Nvidia geforce 4 MX 4000, and it is asking me what my video cards bus identifier is... it says PCI:1:0:0_______ there is a blinking cursor after the last zero... is this a pre-inserted answer or am I to insert data there? [05:46] leave it bro_man [05:46] just press enter [05:46] rich1: can't find anything--you might check ubuntuforums gaming section for more :} [05:46] Is freedb dead? [05:46] mattycoze: does sudo aptitude install libbluetooth-dev not work for you? [05:47] soothsayer, it comes out as 48 second slong wiht no audio [05:47] bazhang: ok. thanks for the help. [05:47] or tab->enter if it has it's box there [05:47] bro_man, usually leaving it blank will default it but if you go into your bios on boot you should be able to find out the path [05:47] kelsin i haven't tried it... i'll have a check - i might have already installed it, what is that anyway? [05:47] "incorrect format for the bus identifier" [05:47] mattycoze: bluez libs [05:47] Hi. Trying to play a 3gp file from a friend. I added the mediubuntu gusty repository to SPM and installed ffplay. Also have the w32codecs installed. I get video but no audio. Update is that i installed vlc, totem, and still no go. [05:48] mattycoze: well the development libraries for them, you need libbluetooth2 for the actuall library [05:48] bro_man: you running like dual video cards or something (just wonderin) [05:48] soldats: where would it be in the bios ? [05:48] random third party codecs? must be porn [05:48] or do you have your onboard enabled? [05:48] or is 3gp some video phone format? [05:48] bro_man, pci devices list [05:48] i think [05:48] kelsin i've already installed libbluetooth-dev [05:49] abcde stopped working. so I ran it with "-V" switch and it gets stuck when checking for freedb status... anyone knows if freedb is dead? [05:49] mattycoze: (At least according to the description in synaptic, might be different then what you need, don't know) [05:49] silent/soldat: phone video and not porn [05:49] pr0n? [05:49] the audio is ARM according to the properties [05:49] soldats: no, just the one... the video port5 that came on the mobo is dead or crap... I dont remember... [05:49] Naisenu: you have to convert them to mpeg [05:49] Naisenu, I'm not sure I believe you [05:49] serious o4o :{ [05:49] post video for proof plox [05:49] hmm - well i'm just trying to get my bluetooth card to work with my phone the k610i [05:49] Naisenu, huh [05:50] brb [05:50] bro_man, hmm im not too sure im sure someone is more experienced than i on that subject [05:50] http://suspend.sourceforge.net/download.shtml differentiates between 'Official releases' and 'Latest release' of µswsusp. (I need s2ram.) What is the difference? [05:50] sorry [05:50] soldats: but I disabled the mobo video in the bios... [05:50] kelsin, i know it works, i can establish some sort of a connection, but i haven't got any apps to work with it yet [05:50] ... so i'm just really experimenting i guess [05:50] * RabidWeezle gets an idea [05:51] bazhang: I have not converted to MPEG. I am not certain if you were suggesting this or asking if I had done it. [05:51] Naisenu, make theora, not proprietary [05:51] kelsin, i was reading this http://pratyeka.org/rfcomm/ [05:51] mattycoze: well if you must install from source the error you're getting is that 99% of the time make install will fully install files on your system so you need to be root, so commonly you run configure and make as normal user, then run sudo make install [05:51] silent: And this would be done how? [05:51] hi bullgard4. Offical releases mean just that, the official releases. In this case the 'latest' is the latest official release [05:51] bro_man, RabidWeezle idea??? dont you mean a headache with pictures [05:52] oops [05:52] Naisenu, why in Windows of course, where the majority of third-party codecs exist [05:52] for future reference, what signal do i use in place of the gnome terminal's kill process? [05:52] okay well i'll have another try kelsin brb [05:52] soldats: no worries, man... thats more help than I have had in awhile... and you keep pointing me in the right direction... [05:52] silent: I really dislike Windows. There is no way to do this in Ubuntu? [05:52] nickrud: Thank you very much for explaining and your interpretation. I appreciate that. [05:52] same thing [05:52] SpeakerMania: mplayer -dumpaudio -dumpfile audiofile i.flv will get the audio out, maybe you can convert it afterwards [05:52] bazhang: thanks. also, another thing about this. Ever since I upgraded when using 7.04 a few months ago, the "power manager" utility doesn't work correctly. Such as, when I hover over it, it shows "Battery: not present. CPU Frequency: 0 MHz" [05:53] bullgard4: I remember that english is not you first language ;) [05:53] is there an ftp client for linux that will allow me to extract passworded rar files on a server i have full rights to? [05:53] Naisenu, I'm sure some one's raised the question somewhere... the question is, do you want to spend 5 minutes in windows to convert the file, or 5 days browsing the net and messing with system files? [05:53] bro_man, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Graphics_Driver_.28NVIDIA.29 [05:53] wckdkl0wn: I'm confused, you're end goal is to copy a file and unrar on a server you have an account on? [05:53] Silent: Can I convert it here? Or can you recommend a program to convert it? [05:53] wckdkl0wn, winrar has a linux release [05:54] nickrud: Yes, that is correct. My mother's language is not English. But this was not important when I put this question here. [05:54] Naisenu, I'm not sure, you can try the windows video editor, or "obtain" *cough* a copy of sony vegas [05:54] kelsin, i just uploaded like 20 rars to my webhost but now i need to extract them on the server. it was easier to upload the rars instead of the thousands of files [05:54] wckdkl0wn: do you have ssh access? [05:54] you'd have to look for the codecs, however [05:54] they say i do but i cant connect to it [05:54] wckdkl0wn: so you can log in and run unrar (if they have it installed) [05:54] jailed ssh access [05:55] maybe i am doing something wrong with ssh i dont know [05:55] I'd think the phone company would have utilities to convert their video files to something a bit more mainstream [05:55] soldats:... ok, got the link ... do you think it will make a difference if OS is feisty ? [05:55] wckdkl0wn: well you're first step to being able to work on the server (not just copy and move files) is to get a shell account, after that you won't be so stuck, but the ftp protocol (afaik) doesn't allow you to run random programs on the host, so you'll need to unrar locally then upload === z9999__ is now known as z9999 [05:56] wckdkl0wn: just "ssh user@whatever.com" unless they do crazy other stuff [05:56] kelsin can i pm you? [05:56] reguarding the ssh [05:56] wckdkl0wn: no [05:56] !pm [05:56] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [05:56] for future reference, what signal do i use in place of the gnome terminal's kill process? [05:56] bro_man, no i dont believe so ive used this wiki for a little over a year and ive had no problems most commands are the same [05:56] hey it work === amidaniel is now known as amidaniel|away [05:56] they say in the email to make sure i use port 2222 [05:57] Ashfire_Server, what [05:57] "ssh -p 2222 user@system.com" [05:57] wckdkl0wn: looking at rar, it appears to depend upon nothing, so you should be able to upload it [05:57] soldats: ok... coolness... [05:57] bro_man, i hope it help if not ill look again tomorrow and ill see if your online [05:57] kelsin ty that worked i was able to connect then [05:57] ty [05:58] soldats: what signal number does the gnome-system-monitor use for the "kill process" option? [05:58] something just made a loud noise [05:58] am I being robbed? [05:58] excuse me, lol [05:58] brb [05:58] !ot | silent [05:58] wckdkl0wn: so if they have the unrar ultility you're all set, otherwise might not be, if that's the case maybe you should unrar locally all of the files, then tar them up and copy them up to the server [05:58] Ashfire_Server, do you mean a pid for a certain app [05:58] silent: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [05:59] Ashfire_Server, if you open system monitor and look for the process id you can type "kill "id number"" and it should kill it [05:59] soldats: no. what signal dos gnome-system-monitor use for "kill process" [05:59] * silent calls out into the hallway, "it's free software, I swear, just go to ubuntu.com!" [05:59] wtf [05:59] soldats: ok... it will probably work then, providing I dont misconstrew it... I have a different problem for tomorrow with my backup system, Xubuntu... screwed that one up too... [05:59] man [05:59] :/ [06:00] think I'm running outa ram already [06:00] bro_man, ill be on at somepoint if i see you ill try to help as much as i can [06:00] but seriously i'm going to check it out [06:00] *grabs knife* [06:00] ya, be safe [06:00] silent: I hope you don't live on a hill [06:00] ok, so i used utorrent.exe to download a OS and it was saved inside wine, is there any way to first) unpack the .rar file, then burn it inside the wine folder?? [06:00] lol [06:00] nickrud: hah [06:01] or a... nvm [06:01] Ashfire_Server, what exactly do you need to do with the kill function [06:01] soldats: ok, coolness... here's hoping that all you do, deserves you. [06:01] to unrar in ssh i use the tar command right? [06:01] there are few things quite as awkward as forgetting it's not yet late, and walking out into the living room holding a knife while your family is watching tv [06:01] weird [06:02] ok, so i used utorrent.exe to download a OS and it was saved inside wine, is there any way to first) unpack the .rar file, then burn it inside the wine folder?? does anyone know a solution to my problem? or am i going to have to redownload the file? [06:02] wckdkl0wn: no, you would use unrar or rar , hopefully they have it installed. Otherwise, you can install rar on your machine, then transfer the binary to your server [06:02] wckdkl0wn: ssh is JUST like the teminarl on your computer, so saying "in ssh" doesn't apply for that question, and unfortunatley no. Tar handles tar files (and can handle gzipping and bzipping the tar files for you) For rar you need unrar afaik [06:02] soldats: ust forget it [06:02] linux4me, unrar [06:02] damnit [06:02] linuxftw, unrar [06:02] it's inside WINE tho [06:02] <--- BBL [06:02] can't do much in wine [06:02] ok, so i'm trying to remove a package, but it tells m,e i need to reinstall it first, and when i try to reinstall it, it gives me errors... any ideas on how to get past this? [06:02] then cd to the directory dood [06:02] well the C:\ browser atleasr [06:02] Ashfire_Server, sorry i just didnt understand the "signal" issue but maybe im too drunk [06:03] linuxftw: still means the file is in like .wine/drive_c or something like that [06:03] lol i am really bad at cd locating [06:03] linuxftw, do not utter "C:\" here... it is taboo [06:03] linux4me: cd .wine/drive_c , then you are in C:\ :) [06:03] linuxftw, type ls -a to see all file [06:03] linuxftw: if your wine is setup nicely should have a z: drive or something that's actually your home dir [06:03] abcde stopped working. so I ran it with "-V" switch and it gets stuck when checking for freedb status... anyone knows if freedb is dead? [06:04] what's that wine gui config? that utility is very nice [06:04] is there a command to eject a cd? [06:04] winecfg [06:04] burepe: eject [06:04] linuxftw: If your file is in a subfolder but you don't remember which one, you can use find and grep to search for it. [06:04] thanks [06:04] that's the one... very nice [06:04] lol [06:04] burepe: sometimes you will need sudo eject [06:04] nickrud, what do u mean by transfer binary to the server? [06:04] I used to run utorrent/foobar2000 through wine [06:05] sudo eject /media/cdrom [06:05] what java package do i install [06:05] I've since learned the error of my ways [06:05] i recently installed xserver-xgl and then removed it, but now whenever i start a gnome session, it tells me that there is a conflicting keyboard config (configured as pc101, but gnome settings saved as 105), how do i get rid of this annoying start up message?

I am looking for just basic editing, advanced editing isn't required.. [06:36] [06:36] i come from pf and iptables is an abortion to me [06:36] silent can i show what i have in pastbin ? [06:36] how do i check which cards are support with ndiswrapper [06:36] astro76, mojo : Thank you very much for advising. [06:37] deadlyallance790, sure [06:37] Babatos: firestarter [06:37] it's been a while though [06:37] what is the command to install bison [06:37] deadlyallance790, aftet you paste in your stuff and save it, the new page it shows you .... copy that URL and paste it in here [06:37] dell_lin, first check if card is supported *without* ndiswrapper, i.e. by native drivers, if not then you can use ndiswrapper for anything with a windows driver [06:37] mojo: ok, you're getting into stuff I know of (theoretically) , you would use showkey to get the scan code of the key, use setkeycodes to give it a code that xev will see, then either map them directly using keyboard shortcuts or write some stuff for xkb. Theoretically [06:38] Sulo_Seppa: that's a hard question to answer cuz lol most programs arn't too good, try googling something like video editing software .deb [06:38] rom11: apt-get install bison ? [06:38] don';t forget sudo.. [06:38] astro76: yes dear freind i am using this card with wireless and card provider didnt porivide drivers for that [06:38] or sudo su for ease of use [06:38] Sulo_Seppa, the package names are bison and gawk [06:39] in b4 flamefest [06:39] nickrud, that is helpful... i had a feeling xev only recognized configured keys in x. i'll check showkey and setkeycodes... :D [06:39] yes [06:39] dell_lin, what is it? [06:39] ok silent mind helping me burn the iso? or can you give me name of iso 7.10 came with so i can try piece togeather? [06:39] the burner soft's [06:40] raulh, right click the iso file [06:40] silent, sudo -i is better, but no big deal [06:40] it's stll in wine..] [06:40] dlink 510 has only driver with windows not with linux so i have to use ndiswrapper [06:40] sudo -s [06:40] how to get awk [06:41] rom11, install gawk [06:41] mojo: one other thing: remember that some keyboards require software to use the keys, they have no normal key codes at all [06:41] astro76: is there list /database of cards supported by ndiswrapper [06:41] sudo apt-get insatll gawk [06:41] is the right command? [06:41] raulh, if you need to get to nautilus to burn (I don't know the command for burning) type nautilus . [06:41] it will open up a window for ya [06:41] dell_lin, you seem to have ignored my first two statement/questions [06:41] nickrud, thanks... um, where do i find those programs? know what package? i found xkbutils but they aren't part of that (according to apt-cache show) [06:41] mojo: on windows, mostly [06:42] yes i undesrstand but its not working some how [06:42] dell_lin, what is it? [06:42] mojo: , oh, doh, one sec [06:42] what is the use of bison and gawk [06:42] is pastebin not working right ? [06:42] dell_lin, i.e. what does lspci | grep -i wireless tell you? [06:42] good bye I' going to windows xp [06:43] deadlyallance790, try pastebin.ca [06:43] eses enjoy [06:43] nickrud, you can get the linux superhero award for the day if you can also point me in the directon of a program that can toggle the message LED ;) [06:43] mojo: message led? [06:43] I have 1100 ebooks but I want to be able to search for keywords of the titles to be able to fine the correct one is there any kind of program that could help me [06:43] mojo: they're in console-tools, that's already installed iirc [06:44] silent http://pastebin.ca/809094 [06:44] how to install zlib [06:44] groovy [06:44] rom11: what for? [06:44] im drawung a blank here, how do i mount a ntfs sata drive (sda1) at /mnt/ms [06:44] any .deb that needs it will install it via dependencies [06:45] oakxx: man mount [06:45] building openwrt kernel [06:45] I have 1100 ebooks but I want to be able to search for keywords of the titles to be able to fine the correct one is there any kind of program that could help me [06:45] also, if my drive is plugged in and its not showing up @ /dev/sda1 is there a way I can scan for that device? [06:45] mojo: if you mean the led's on the keyboard, xset led 3 will turn on the caps lock led [06:45] hey, umm wow silent lol umm dude i was kinda dumb.. [06:45] rom11: zlib is already installed [06:45] i should've just gone to my home drive and gone from there [06:45] oakxx: no [06:45] easily right-clicked the file D: [06:45] i am so surprised that ubuntu does not use s2ram [06:46] nickrud, the kbd is an HP Multimedia keyboard. back/playpause/stop/fwd/eject, vol knob, and mute across the top. those work. then there are 12 rubber keys above the number pad, and a LED to the left of the first rubber key (messages key). messages/phone/Internet(works)/suspend on first row, shortcuts 1/2(works)/3 and "information" on bottom row. [06:46] I'm running ubuntu-server gutsy, I've added one user with "adduser rxkaffee" executed from root account(I know root account login isn't the norm for desktop ubuntu, not sure if this is the case normally in ubuntu-server or not, but I only had root) Any other users I try to add via the same method I recieve the error "adduser: Could not find program named 'groupadd' in $PATH." but I can run groupadd manually just fine [06:46] its actually in the kernel now its so stable. [06:46] does anyone know how to burn .iso images with original burner? [06:46] raulh: "with original burner"? [06:46] nickrud, DOH i meant 8 rubber keys. Only two are working as of now [06:47] any idea why adduser can not find the groupadd program? [06:47] came with 7.10 [06:47] nickrud, and the LED is in addition to the normal numlock/scrolllock/capslock lights. it has a fourth (messages) light. [06:47] wait is it "file image" [06:47] mojo: I had a microsoft keyboard, had some keys that weren't recognized in xev. What I'm telling you about is what I was researching getting those keys working; I lost the keyboard before I finished, so I stopped looking [06:47] on cd/dvd creator [06:47] nickrud, i will play with xset, i have that i think [06:48] lost a keyboard? is it under the couch? :) [06:48] nickrud, your help is definitely appreciated. searching the web was not getting me anyhere, just forum posts from other seekers [06:48] deadlyallance790, no idea dude, that swf is pretty slick tho [06:48] I like it [06:48] it is saying missing libz.so or zlib.h [06:48] Dr_willis: no, I moved, and somehow it didn't get packed [06:49] nickrud, i bet its in that big box in the garrage labeled 'underware' :) [06:49] rom11: openwrt uses another CPU arch (ARM). Ubuntu doesn't support ARM [06:49] laptops make losing keyboards impossible === leob is now known as leobru [06:49] nickrud, i lost thekeyboard to my serial terminal.. for 10 years.. then i tossed out the terminal and fond the keyboard the NEXT day! :) === chaky_ is now known as chaky [06:50] Good old WYSE terminals.

[06:50] Dr_willis: lol, that happened with my best pair of running shoes [06:50] me fabio [06:50] vmware D: [06:50] !best | fabio [06:50] fabio: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. [06:50] lol [06:51] wtf [06:51] fabio thats true but vmware is good :p [06:51] virtual machine [06:51] is not compatible to my pc [06:51] vm is just another program [06:51] vmware, or virtual box - depends on your needs however. [06:51] vmware is a virtual machine.. [06:51] dosbox ! :) [06:51] ulz! [06:51] i wouldnt say machine but perhaps program [06:52] i made a live dos cd.. [06:52] looks like freedb is dead.... [06:52] I thought FreeDos had a live cd. at their site. [06:52] Someone called linux a bastardized dos today === _mookid is now known as mookid [06:52] 0_o wha [06:52] nickrud, amazing what some people say eh.. :) [06:52] jealousy disrupts the mind [06:53] I'm almost never speechless, but ...

[06:53] nickrud, organ donor? [06:54] enjoy [06:54] ahhh [06:54] it was the jumper on the hard drive [06:54] the directory is not correct is /media/cdrom0 [06:54] how to change [06:54] nickrud, i saw a letter in a pc mag stating that OS-X was 'openBSD Linux' [06:54] :) [06:54] Dr_willis: no, the prez was walking her through our offices, introduced me as the 'IT Department' (oxymoron when applied to me) and I mentioned I was shifting a lot of stuff to linux, and that was the response [06:55] openbsd linux? um. vista is NT DOS too [06:55] Dr_willis: heh. PC Mag, what do you expect? It's not Compute [06:55] nickrud, the editors could of at least corrected the mistake in the comments. :) [06:55] ok thanks everyone for helping me :D [06:55] bye! [06:56] again, PC Mag ;) [06:56] be back soon to bother yallz d: [06:56] then again when 7 out of 10 of the letters to the mag printed were discussing Linux.. thats a good sign. [06:56] ahh the world of it. I think I want a shirt that says simply "Are you stupid?" [06:56] Well night all. [06:56] night Dr [06:57] What is the command that I can use to format my /media/disk device as ntfs [06:57] b14ck: mkfs.ntfs? [06:57] and you don't format /media/disk [06:57] b14ck: you can't [06:57] mkfs.nfts: command not found [06:57] some one talked to me, my thing is blue [06:57] Hey. I just removed Wine but the menus are still left and I can't delete them. [06:57] media/disk is a mount point. not a device. you also need the ntfstools installed [06:57] I KNOW that I can format it to ntfs [06:58] TigranG: /usr/share/applications? [06:58] b14ck: if you know, why do you ask? [06:58] Becasue I don't know how, obviouysly [06:58] I know it can be done though [06:58] I've done it before on debian. [06:58] b14ck: install ntfsprogs, and use mkntfs [06:58] nickrud, I like this keyboard a lot, since i touch type and have used computers for 25 years, feels good to me. But i have thought about one of those Logitech Wireless USB keyboards, the iTouch ones with sevral buttons and volume sliders, if i could get THAT to fully work. [06:58] Hi .. how can I to change the poscition of the panels of GNOME? [06:58] nickrud: i'll try that ty [06:58] is there some software to replace activesync for linux? something to sync a pocket pc phone edition to my ubuntu gutsy desktop === pemudaharapan is now known as fero [06:59] rhys: Nothing there [06:59] rhys: Well nothing there left by Wine [06:59] nickrud: how do i find out which device i have is mounted as /media/disk? [06:59] * mojo wishes this kbd were wireless. it would rock. [06:59] mojo: I do love a good keyboard, but don't expect all the keys to work anymore. [06:59] nickrud: so that i can format the drive itself [06:59] TigranG: then its in your home directory. pretty sure thats where wine puts it [06:59] TigranG: search for *.desktop files in your home dir [06:59] rhys: Did that [07:00] nickrud, frustrating. i know the signals are there somewhere on a wire. just... support... aaaagggghh!!! [07:00] b14ck: run "mount" with no argumetns? [07:00] b14ck: cat /etc/mtab? [07:00] b14ck: that does it, yes. Myself, I do all that ntfs stuff in windows, they know all the bugs they have to work around and don't tell anyone about [07:00] TigranG: nothing? severely odd. [07:00] an open question... in 'xserver-xorg'..... is there a way or keystroke to go back a page/option ??? === daedrik is now known as Daedric [07:01] bro_man:do you mean dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? cause as posed you question makes no sense [07:01] rhys: K now it did. I installed again and then uninstalled [07:01] bro_man: you mean while dpkg-reconfiging? I vaguely think escape does that [07:02] nickrud: I'm doing it ebcause right now I have BSD4.4 on my external drive, and I want windows to recognize it. But when I plugged it into my wnidows box it completely ignored the device since it wasn't ntfs/fat32. So I am formatting it to ntfs, then i'll connect it to my windows box, then i'll format it again [07:02] Ubuntu questions are so much fun. Its like the different levels of tech support. But all is good in open worl. [07:02] b14ck: why not just connect it and format it. windows can do that [07:03] Hi to all .. how can I to change the poscition of the panels of GNOME in ubuntu? [07:03] rhys: I just explained why not. It doesn't recognize the device, and won't even recognize that it is plugged in. [07:03] zion, you have to use your mouse [07:03] wols: I am already in xserver-xorg... I tried to scroll down the page and somehow selected whatever was on the screen and it advanced to the next page... thus, I ask, is there a way to go back a page? [07:03] b14ck: it doesn't completely ignore it. simply go into the ...whatever is it called. there is a disk manager [07:03] it should have a couple buttons on it [07:03] zion: you just grab them (shift left-mouse) and drag [07:03] b14ck: just because it doesn't create a device in "my computer [07:03] rhys: I know how to format a drive, but I'm telling you. It wasn't even listed in the hardware manager. [07:03] It was just listed as an incmopatible USB driver. [07:04] bro_man: you are wrong. there are no "pages" in xserver-xorg. xserver-xorg is is X server. that stuff that paints pretty picutures on your screen [07:04] I've done this before, and had the same problem. [07:04] b14ck, sorry to disapoint. [07:04] Could not load the settings file '/root/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml' (VERR_OPEN_FAILED).

[07:04] Windows reconizes ANY drive... regardless of the partitions/filesystems. IF you have an incmopatible USB driver., the problem is elsewhere... [07:05] rhys, what do you mean by disk manager [07:05] what seems  to be the problem? [07:05] b14ck, left click on my computer, manage [07:05] sigh.

So, you shouldn't need to reboot [07:15] ok, thanks guys[linux rules!!] [07:16] nickrud: The last item of the list is separated from the list items proper. It gives the name of the list indirectly. Does this last item read in English "Clear the list of lastly opened documents" or how does it read? [07:16] zeay: what soundcard?

[07:56] TigranG: zanpakatou: wols_: nickrud: thanks for all your help, i should figure it out eventually, i fluked it a few monthes back using edgy, but that harddrive clicked out, thanks again [07:56] astro76: so any ideas about icons & fonst size in nautilus? [07:56] StEaLtHtHiEf: I dont know, thats odd. It is working for me. Double check spelling lol? [07:56] Kostya: I dont get what you want [07:57] Kostya, I had asked if that worked, I guess not? [07:57] hi... [07:57] TigranG: have a look here in this topic: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=632989&highlight=nautilus [07:57] astro76: nope, that did not helped [07:57] hmmm, no ideas then? I might just my the CD somewhere. [07:57] ugh, I can't figure out pm but yeah, spelling is ok. Kostya, do you mean set my start page to ubuntuforums or is my start page set to.... ? [07:57] hello [07:57] Kostya : afaik if you change it trough fonts in preferences you'll be changing the global settings... and as for the icongs... personally i would try to find a good themes that would suit my needs ... [07:58] astro76: this will increase font size all over the gnome... [07:58] my laptop's screen just blew up i think what do i do [07:58] how do i change permissions on a secondary hdd? [07:58] or it just failed and every thing stoped working [07:58] mitchbones: what permissions? [07:58] doh. he left [07:58] Kostya, yeah I dont' understand what you want either, because if you want the font bigger, just zoom to 50%, since the font takes up more room, the larger icon isn't wasting space [07:58] munk_ : how do you intend to change the permission ? on boot or manually? [07:59] so what does " libdvdcss2: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.6-1) but 2.5-0ubuntu14 is to be installed" mean to me? [07:59] wols_, what?! [07:59] oh you hit m and tab i guess [07:59] bluefoxx: it means you download from the wrong repo [07:59] bluefoxx: download the package from a feisty repo not a gutsy one [07:59] When you install ubuntu, does it install Grub on Windows or your Ubuntu partiton? [07:59] Kostya: I dont know of anyone way, in nautilus the font size depends on zoom level and font size in Apperance [07:59] bluefoxx : it means you have a different version which means you have to replace it supported one... you have to know what distro yous is and compare it to the one you downloaded [07:59] mitchbones: stage2 is installed in /boot/grub/ [08:00] ty [08:00] so how do i do that? [08:00] astro76: bit it's not logical, the control tells me to make icons size smaller, why does it makes font size smaller too....??? [08:00] bluefoxx: you've been told how to get the proper one [08:00] zanpakatou, on boot...i just want to be able to share the hdd over samba and be able to access it cuz right now its only set to plugdev group... [08:00] I wanted ot uninstall ubuntu on this HD and just have it on a seperate one...that is for another day I guess [08:00] bluefoxx : it only happens if you put a repository which is not for your current distro [08:00] Kostya, it says nothing about icon size, just zoom [08:00] mitchbones: you cannot uninstall. but you can overwrite [08:00] TigranG: that is what I want to know. so basically there is no ways to configure this settings separately.. [08:00] mitchbones: GRUB is installed on the MBR [08:00] mitchbones: to answer that questino you posed [08:01] Thats what I mean't [08:01] Kostya: Not that I know/think of [08:01] mitchbones: ah, then wols_ addressed it :) [08:01] mitchbones: sorry to bug [08:01] scguy, np! [08:01] TigranG: ok, thanks guys [08:01] astro76: ok, thanks guys [08:01] Kostya, so if somehow the icon to font-size ratio is not acceptable to you, you need to find a new theme or modify yours [08:01] bluefoxx: apt-cache policy libdvdcss2 [08:01] munk_ : we have similar problems before ... I solved mine by reinstalling my ubuntu... can't help you with that... because if you try to change the ownership it will not permit you to do so.. even if you're sudo [08:01] i have 2 partitions in the first i have win witch partition method i must use to install ubuntu in the 2 partition? [08:01] my laptop's screen just blew up i think what do i do [08:02] or it just failed and every thing stoped working [08:02] Kostya, no prob ;) [08:02] can tis be modified in the theme? I think it should be in the sources of nautilus... [08:02] Kostya, I would think the theme [08:02] munk_ : i'm guessing it's fat32 partion u have problems on [08:02] zanpakatou, i dont want to change ownership to something else only group or others.. its a ntfs ....worse than fat:( [08:02] munk_: put it in fstab to be mounted on boot. nothing to do with permissions at all [08:03] munk_: what's the fstab entry for the partition? [08:03] astro76: well, I cannot see any fonts related settings in the gnome/gtk themes... I still think it should be in the sources. say for example when zooming, decrease the font size less than it's at the moment.. [08:03] my laptop's screen just blew up i think what do i do [08:03] or it just failed and every thing stoped working [08:03] wols_ i havent looked into fstab yet let me take a peak [08:03] munk_ : there is however you could do.. there is an unofficial guide somewhere that will answer your problem.. try googling this "unofficial ubuntu guide" [08:03] peek* [08:03] chilli_: ctrl+alt+f1 [08:04] Kostya, gnome strives for simplicity so I don't see that happening :P ...but perhaps something in gconf [08:04] astro76: ok, anothe question :) is it possible to make places icons bigger? say like on macosx in finder? [08:04] chilli_: if that doesn't work: reboot. if you don't get a picture on the screen on reboot (no BIOS e.g.): not a ubuntu problem, but buy a new laptop [08:04] wols_ UUID=80C2F69090FA0800 /media/sda1 ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 thats what i have [08:04] how do i type Japanese in ubuntu? [08:04] Kostya, there are many unexposed settings available in gconf [08:04] its not running ubuntu [08:04] munk_: is the partition mounted at boot? [08:04] astro76: I checked gconf many times, nothing there... :( maybe some hidden options :) [08:04] and its brand new 2 grands [08:04] wols_ oh and a 1 at the end.. [08:05] iro: Applications->Access->Character Map? [08:05] ??? what is "kernal framebuffer device interface" ???? [08:05] yes it is...but its not a partition its another hdd i have on.. [08:05] Kostya, places icon where? [08:05] astro76: would be cool to find all gconf settings documented, including unpublished ;) [08:05] munk_: sda1 is a partition. and you don't mount harddisks, you mount partitions [08:05] TigranG, and how do you want me to TYPE Japanese there? [08:05] munk_: so if it is mounted on boot what is your problem? [08:06] astro76: say, if you got places on the left panel, is it possible to make icons bigger there? [08:06] munk_ : check this please http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy [08:06] iro: Ive seen some other languages there, just told you to check it out. I'm not sure [08:06] bro_man: kernel framebuffer device. why do you want to know? what for? [08:06] !list [08:06] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [08:06] Kostya, dunno [08:06] astro76: ok :) [08:06] wols_ true sorry yeah...but what i was wondering is....the problem is that the owner is set to root and whenever i share this through samba it asks me for a password and user name and whenever i put mine in it doesnt work.... [08:06] astro76: propably I should as it on nautilus channels :) [08:07] wols: it is an option in configuring the xserver-xorg... [08:07] munk_: man smbpasswd. samba passwords are not the same as the system passwords [08:07] anyone now if it is possible to change the location of the tmp file in lynx? [08:07] iro: or do you want system wide Japanese? [08:07] bro_man: ignore it [08:07] astro76: ok, the last questions. is it possible to disable spell check in pidgin? I'm talking russian and this is making me crazy :) [08:07] wols_ but i dont have a smbpasswd set up.. [08:07] Kostya: lemme look [08:07] munk_: then do it [08:07] everything else i share works except this.. [08:08] Kostya: yes, Toosl -> Prefs -> Conversations [08:08] i messed with my resolution, and now alt+tab makes the screen go white. how do i fix this? [08:08] how is it shared? [08:08] Kostya: uncheck highlight misspelled words [08:08] what's the smb.conf entry for it? [08:08] TigranG, yeah i want the latter one [08:08] Kostya: though the real solution may be to change the dictionary file to Russian [08:08] Kostya: if you wanted spell checking for Russian [08:08] System->Admin->Language Support [08:08] ive added the language, but i dont know how to start typing in it [08:09] wols_ but i was wondering what the umask code i should have...its at 007 now but when i had gentoo on it was set at 0000 so im not sure if that has anything to do with it or not... [08:09] okay, so i finally got libdvdcss2 to install, but dvds still wont play [08:09] scguy318: thanks! :) how did I missed this setting...I was looking for something like spell check... [08:09] iro: Is it the default language? [08:09] no, should it be? [08:09] munk_: if you can access it locally as normal user: it doesn't. you can also change its uid from root to your user with uid= [08:09] scguy318: it's too hard to find dictionary with russian slang ;) [08:09] iro: I'm guessing, or let me see if theres any way to configure the keyboard to a language [08:10] iro: yea [08:10] wols_ would that change the owner ? [08:10] munk_: yes [08:10] Kostya: lol :) [08:10] iro: System->Pref->Keyboard [08:10] help with adi1888 soundcard [08:10] wols_ alright ill try thanks ill be back if i have any other questions.. [08:10] iro: then Layouts and check Japanese as default [08:10] zeay: lspci. pastebin the output [08:11] please help me join [08:11] why default? i need not to have Russian default to type it [08:11] yellow__: join what? [08:11] Dont make it default the, but select it [08:11] iro : if you have troubles with any configuration or settings try checking the control center first or through the "system -> preferences " and see it if will fix your problems or you could try the builtin help in ubuntu [08:11] also, is there any nice video editing program ( free/gpl ) to make movies? Kino does not have any functionality to make titles, etc...also it's not possible to produce ready DVD with menus there... [08:11] join to chat [08:11] Kostya: Kino [08:11] i did select it, TigranG [08:11] yellow__: what chat? ýou already are on irc [08:12] Kostya: didnt see you just said except kino :P [08:12] Kostya : lives... [08:12] TigranG: Kino is just to edit the scenes, but how to make titles there? [08:12] Kostya : i'm not so sure [08:12] iro: never done this before, let me try installing it [08:12] can i get some help with displayconfig-gtk please? [08:12] Kostya: google :) [08:12] zanpakatou, if you are willing to help read the question first. i did select the language, now i want to actually type in it [08:12] Kostya: look in Ubuntu Studio packages [08:12] zanpakatou: lives? is it QT based? [08:12] !ask | ozzloy [08:12] ozzloy: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [08:12] Kostya: they're merged with the Gutsy repo me thinks [08:12] TigranG: yeah! google is the best! :) [08:12] hehehe,sory,im very blank of computer [08:13] hi i am running compiz-fusion and emerald i changed my pointer but whenever it goes into a menu it turns white again how can i fix it? [08:13] Kostya : you want Qt based? [08:13] it happens in some windows too [08:14] zanpakatou, having such a nickname you prolly know the tricks. windows ime waits for Alt-tilde to switch to kanji input mode.. annything similar in Ubuntu? [08:14] zanpakatou: nope. I'd prefer GTK/gnome apps, as I'm using ubuntu... [08:15] iro : wait a sec [08:15] http://rafb.net/p/1n7wbC33.html please, someone help? [08:15] What would cause an error 404 after installing phpmyadmin on Ubuntu? [08:16] iro: you're asking how to dynamically switch between input modes in SCIM? [08:16] I have apache2 installed with the above also [08:16] wols_: that is my question. i'm not asking if i can ask. i'm asking for help [08:16] ozzloy: you use the wrong tool. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [08:16] Kostya : hm... im not so sure if it's Qt though but i've read the features... i found subtitle there [08:16] Filled-void: index.php or index.phtml is not set as a start file? [08:16] Kostya, I have no files in /var/www thats whats bugging me :( [08:17] wols_: giving it a shot [08:17] scguy318, err, possibly. what's SCIM? [08:17] Kostya, I was able to get vnstat fromt end to run it previously. I moved the vnstat into a new folder and then did the install [08:17] zanpakatou: yep. it looks promising. will give it a try. remember a year ago when I was trying to switch to ubuntu, lives was like a "set of bugs" :) [08:17] Kostya : check the features on this website http://lives.sourceforge.net/ and see if the tool you need is in there... [08:18] iro: its the IME program that's installed when u do the Language Support thing [08:18] i'm a complete linux newbie. during my whole life the only thing i've done in lunux is made some cgi scripts on some shell [08:18] Kostya : set of bugs .. hmmm maybe back then it's unstable... hmmm i was also lookin' for great movie editor for linux though... [08:18] iro: are you asking about how to use the IME? :) [08:19] scguy318, err. i added Japanese as an input language. it is selected right now, thou i can type English only. since i have it selected, i must have that SCIM or whatever IME installed, right? [08:20] iro: yes [08:20] great. then yes, i want to know how to use IME :) [08:20] iro: to switch between input modes, I think it's Shift + Space [08:20] iro: then I think to actually enter something [08:20] iro : i have a quite dirty solution to your IME problem [08:20] iro: Did you get it? [08:20] zanpakatou: movie editing was the showstopper for me to move to ubuntu from windows... [08:21] iro: I figured it out [08:21] iro: listen to them :) [08:21] scguy318, that did not work [08:21] hi i'm having trouble getting my sound recognized, I have two cards on onboard and on SBLive. I want sound output via SBLive. Ubuntu seems to randomly not find this card. [08:21] okay skype now has video on linux support now umm anyone have way to install it on 7.10 under 64bit [08:21] iro : you could create an IME for you self though [08:21] iro : i found a list with sample code on it... [08:22] iro: Go to System->Pref->Keyboard then Layouts and click Add. Find Japanese and add it [08:22] zanpakatou, scguy318 said i have already installed something [08:22] wols_: ok, now i'm guessing i have to restart the xserver. wish me luck! [08:22] TigranG, yeah, i have already done it [08:22] Ok [08:22] I did modprobe snd-emu10k1 since the module wasn't loaded and then /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart but still no luck [08:22] iro: Now right click on a panel and add an applet called Keyboard Indicator [08:22] now i have it selected, but the output is English [08:22] TigranG, this done, too [08:22] iro: It will let you choose with language to type with [08:23] iro: then you have a problem, works for me [08:23] TigranG: I believe he's already have the indicator, but I think he's wondering how to start typing :) [08:23] precisely :) [08:23] scguy318: Yea, you choose the language from it and type [08:23] lol [08:24] its pretty simple [08:24] TigranG: I know, but Japanese takes a little more effort :P [08:24] :D [08:24] iro: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JapaneseInput [08:24] whys that [08:24] /proc/asound cards only shows the onboard card [08:24] funny thing is yesterday it worked [08:24] TigranG: different character types in the language, don't quote me, I know nothing :) [08:25] scguy318, thanks, reading [08:25] scguy318: ok haha [08:25] Hello? [08:25] scguy318: I tired it with Armenian worked right away, don't get why Japanese should be any different [08:26] Shouldnt there be a phpmyadmin folder under /var/www if I installed phpmyadmin? [08:26] Excellent! I'm assuming that I've successfully connected to the channel. [08:26] iro: I'm gonna go ahead and do what I did with Japanese now, wanna see if it works, cause I dont understand why it shouldnt [08:26] Is this the correct place to come for help with Ubuntu? [08:27] yes [08:27] mnemonica_, yes [08:27] hi, which player can handle .mov files? [08:27] TigranG: you probably know more in such matters, so ignore me [08:27] ttt-: mplayer, VLC, etc.? [08:27] thanks [08:28] how can i make/enable a "send" button in gaim? [08:28] ttt: you need the gstreamer codec first [08:28] TigranG: well, not with those players :P [08:28] TigranG: since they do not use GStreamer API anyway [08:28] TigranG: but you are correct when using Totem and such :) [08:28] Excellent. I have a pretty bad problem. I've posted in several forums, but no help. I was trying to uninstall compiz-fusion and was deleting some repositories or something (I'm really new to this) and now I can't login normally. I can login to failsafe GNOME and the terminal but nothing else. Help? [08:28] scguy318: you probably know more in such matters, so ignore me ;) [08:28] TigranG: lol :) [08:29] mnemonica_: reason is, you've probably removed XGL, and your login script spawned XGL [08:29] Oh, and when I try to login normally, it goes to the desktop for a breif second (the brown screen) and then flashes black and drops back to the login screen. [08:29] And, ok... How do I fix it. Or do I? [08:29] Sigh reinstalling phpmyadmin works now :) [08:29] hw c [08:29] mnemonica_: well, you could stick to failsafe or reverse the edits you made to your login script, I'm afraid I can't really help with that :( [08:30] how can i enable writing on my sd card with ubuntu ? [08:30] tried with v [08:30] MOTZ: how is the card mounted? [08:30] MOTZ: if you insert it does it not auto-mount and permit write? [08:30] chmod a+w /media [08:30] mnemonica_, what exactly did you do to uninstall compiz-fusion? [08:30] MOTZ: run mount. pastebin its output [08:31] mountpoint u mean ? [08:31] : it is possible that your compisiting is still enabled... or metacity wasn't set as your default manager... [08:32] no. I mean you should do what I told you [08:32] wols_: lol [08:32] I don't exactly remember... I to know that I was doing something with fgxl or something like that and then hit ctrl+alt+backspace and it logged me out (I'm guessing?) and then it didn't work. [08:32] lol [08:32] ok [08:33] i never donee that ;) [08:33] mnemonica_: did you uninstall compiz or did you mess with fglrx? which one is it? [08:33] he messed with fglrx whiel uninstalling compiz [08:33] Both? Everything I was doing I was doing by following along some guides I found via google. I'm really new with this stuff, so I'm not sure. [08:33] TigranG: that is nonsense [08:33] tell him [08:33] mnemonica_: pastebin your xorg log [08:33] lol [08:34] mnemonica_: as I said before, check your login script based upon what you told me [08:34] wols_: How do I do any of that? [08:34] i want to chat with someone please [08:34] mnemonica_, can you post the address of this guide so we can get some idea what you were doing? [08:34] yellow: what sort of chat? [08:34] : it is probably save in your session including the the stuffed you screwd that's why you couldn't login to your normal session... [08:34] yellow: you already are. this is a ubuntu support channel, not a general chat one [08:34] yellow: more than 1000 ppl here to chat with, pick one [08:35] yellow: do you need support with ubuntu? [08:35] anything,im new,looking for a new friend [08:35] yellow: go to #defocus [08:35] yellow: this isnt a social place [08:35] I don't know where anything is. I don't know what a login script is, or where to find it, or what a pastebin is or what a xorg log is or where to find it. [08:35] I really really really want to do what you're telling me, but I don't know how. [08:35] yellow: or #ubuntu-offtopic [08:36] Throw me a bone... lol [08:36] mnemonica_: ok, so link us to the guide that you were following when you installed Compiz :) [08:36] why doesn't a disk mounted with the ramfs filesystem show up in df? is this normal? [08:37] what do i have to do to make alsa find a card? just modprobe the necessary module and restart alsa-utils or will i have to do something else? [08:38] hey wol where can i find out the mountpoint should it be media/Cardname ? [08:38] Sorry, had to search around... I think it was this ---> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=533201 and when I did the second thing, it started acting weird. [08:38] dbr_: pretty much modprobing the driver should be enough [08:38] The second code, I mean. [08:38] MOTZ: the mount point is a directory of your choosing [08:39] did that, no luck [08:39] and the device name is only in my case" NDS" i think [08:40] MOTZ: answer my question [08:40] MOTZ: how is the card mounted? [08:40] where can i see that? [08:41] aI told you already what to paste [08:41] the module is loaded and i don't see any complaints in dmesg but alsa only sees my onboard card [08:41] oh really ? [08:41] dbr_: how did you check? [08:41] wait [08:41] lsmod [08:41] Sorry, had to search around...

[08:55] @find ciao [08:56] dbr : i c thx [08:56] dbr_: if you do a rm -rf * somewhere, it won't work if the glob catches too many files since then the bash commandline is exhausted [08:56] wols_ thx [08:57] wols_, ok i see.

[09:01] hi, I screwed up the default file permissions on my system .. is there a quicker method to restore it than manually resetting permissions? [09:01] opsyde: you could reinstall, if you had hosed the permissions for say /etc [09:02] i don't want to lose my configurations, drivers, installed apps, etc. [09:02] opsyde: well what exactly did you do? [09:02] can someone tell how the change the language on the main panel [09:02] Jimnastics, most likely sed can do this. [09:02] chmod 777 /* -R [09:02] opsyde: reinstall [09:03] opsyde: oh, that's bad [09:03] hehe [09:03] opsyde: what wols_ said, and don't do that please [09:03] i've got root access on a console though [09:03] opsyde, you don't need root access [09:03] opsyde: forget it, cuz changing permissions back to normal == faster to reinstall [09:04] there are some websites hosted on this root, i want to get into httpd.confand then i want to change the source for all [09:04] opsyde, lol [09:04] yeah, but don't i lose all my stuff?

[09:07] Damn I'm sick of hearing generic crappy management quote Gartner! [09:08] opsyde: nope, and there really isn't a default per se, unless you're talking about file creation? [09:08] Think you can set that with umask, can't you? [09:08] Gartner is prof that people can't think for themselves [09:08] na, i mean the files in /etc .. i set sudo to 440, and i could use it [09:09] *in /etc, for example [09:09] you aren't the owner of this folder [09:09] and oh, i realized what i did, and terminated the command .. i'm sure most of the original permissions are intact [09:10] Does anyone have any experience with getting a dual-head configuration up and running? I've tried like, 4 tutorials and none of it's working [09:10] =/ [09:10] Why do my monitor speakers and headphones both play when I plug in my headphones and how do I fix it? [09:10] opsyde: perhaps, but honestly a reinstall would be faster [09:12] Lleumas: How are your devices connected? [09:13] dbr: I did what you suggested and it asked for the original 7.10 install disk... Glad a made an isntall disk for 7.10 when I upgraded from 7.04... Because it asked for it just now. ... Still installing stuff. [09:13] Monitor is through the audio cord in back of my computer and I plug my speakers in through the front one [09:13] user [09:13] star [09:13] Lleumas: try double clicking on your volume icon ( in gnome) and messing with the levels. try changing the "Headphone" and the "Mono" settings [09:14] user [09:14] star [09:14] hmm. I have the same configuration, and I get the same result, but I just turn off my main speakers and the headphones work [09:15] is there something else than fdisk that will give a simpler output for listing all disks available? [09:16] Alright... it installed everything that the guide undid (I'm guessing) what now? [09:17] Josiah: My main speakers are built into my monitor. I don't have the headphone options in the volume levels only thing I have that includes headphone is in switches to tick it on or off. [09:17] damn, thanks anyway [09:17] mbithy [09:17] sss [09:17] Gotcha [09:18] dbr? I finished doing what you suggested, it installed everything... What now?

Is there any other settings in the BIOS that would make Ubuntu hang? [09:23] Nope. Didn't work. Still have the same issues. The only thing that I notice that is different is that now I have "custom" to select when looking at my visual effects options. But when I select anything other that "no effects" it tells me that it cannot enable desktop effects... I was using effects like the rotating cube thing before all of this... So I know my computer can do it. Any ideas? [09:24] Anyone running ubuntu on a laptop? what's "cat /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode" say? [09:24] how i can to backup OS? [09:24] !backup [09:24] There are many ways to back your system up.

[09:26] So.... here's a question. [09:26] a gui editor of course, not a command line editor like pico, vi, etc.. [09:26] Vim sort of grows on you [09:26] ah nice [09:26] psilo [09:26] I hear Bluefish is nice too [09:26] indeed. I like vim. Kate is much like notepad++ from windows [09:26] Actually, Netbeans has a pretty good HTML editor too [09:26] dbr: Nope. Didn't work. Still have the same issues. The only thing that I notice that is different is that now I have "custom" to select when looking at my visual effects options. But when I select anything other that "no effects" it tells me that it cannot enable desktop effects... I was using effects like the rotating cube thing before all of this... So I know my computer can do it. Any ideas? [09:26] You know how, when you change the volume, you get that popup that shows what volume your system is at? [09:26] help me .i can`t auto mount my swap [09:26] yang@new:~$ swapon -L /dev/hda5 [09:26] swapon: cannot stat /dev/disk/by-label/\x2fdev\x2fhda5: No such file or directory [09:27] Got a little Problem here: openoffice, avidmux, kino and audacity crash with a segmenation fault.

[09:28] \x2f is 0x2f is / [09:28] imitation: I think thats slightly more than a small problem. seg faults are _extremely_ hard to diagnose and fix. I recommend you try the 32bit version of ubuntu [09:29] xTheGoat121x: you can adjust your volume using alsamixer via CLI, or kmix if you're running kde (or the kdelibs) [09:29] can.anyone.tell.me.how.to.map.my.left.alt-key.(keycode.64).to."space space".because.last.night.my.spacebar.key.died?:(.no.this.is.not.a.joke [09:29] mnemonica, what graphics card do you have?

[09:39] hemcar_: fix your sources.list [09:39] yes, how to do it please ? [09:40] hemcar_: You'll need to comment out the CD from your sources.list, that'll stop it from asking [09:40] by removing the entries for the CD and making sure the ones for the repos are in [09:40] hemcar_, open /etc/apt/sources.list in an editor [09:40] hemcar_: The CD line will be obvious. [09:41] Alright.. I copy and pasted what I got from the terminal to the site. I filled out my name and hit paste. Now there's the same text in a red box. What do I do? [09:41] mnemonica: give us the url [09:41] Trying to enable mike boost with following command failed. Why ?

[09:53] Mnemonica are you trying to use compiz on 7.10? [09:54] Lleumas: Yes, and now I can't access my normal login... [09:54] check for asnd .xsession* files in your home directory [09:55] !root [09:55] 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 [09:55] iro: see that [09:55] s/asnd/any [09:55] mnemonica: look for .xsession* [09:55] well, it's already installed on gutsy, all you have to do is from fresh install go to synaptic and install "compizconfig settings manager" [09:55] hellow [09:56] i use LAMP [09:56] are there any how-to things that can be recomended on networking linux distros [09:56] my language is supported but it doesnt work:( [09:56] wols_: What do you mean "look for it"?

[09:57] i wanted to type jan [09:57] for user name [09:58] bluefoxx: no hdd and boot from disk is contradictory [09:58] wols_: Thought I knew where that was... But apparently I don't. How do I find my home directory [09:58] ? [09:58] mnemonica: "cd" [09:58] wols_: i meant boot from cd type disk, i use "disk" as slang for "cd" alot, my bad [09:59] something like /home/mnemonic [09:59] dbr_: seems like one of those wierd things what we have to do in linux that we shouldn't have too.

I'm looking through everything I can think of. Can you tell me exactly how I need to access what you need to know? [10:03] so how can i do my language work?

[10:55] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47348/ [10:55] Wols: I know, but that means downloading everything and here in Belgium we have strict D/L limits [10:55] wols_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47348/ [10:55] wher i can find info about wine donwload and installation? [10:55] mnemonica: then add the cd to your sources list and upgrade that way [10:55] neumind: aptitude install wine [10:55] winehq.com [10:55] wols_: How would I go about doing that? [10:55] zetheroo, i have got it working in the past.. dont remember it being this involved [10:56] hello, i have a multiboot system windows+gutsy: is it possible to access 2 hard drives i have in RAID1 from both windows and linux ??? === matthijs is now known as IlovejumP [10:56] would be nice to have dvd playback on a fresh install :-/ [10:56] mnemonica: the date on the file is the same? and did you reallc choose to load xfce in gdm?

[10:56] msingh: blame the MPAA and MPEG-LA [10:56] neumind: then wine is installed [10:56] msingh: well its never been anything more for me than installing the medibuntu libdvdcss2 and setting the region to 4 [10:56] wols: newbie question: how do I add my CD to my sorce list + upgrade afterwards? [10:56] zetheroo I think I can talk you through it now [10:56] CrittiX: I believe you have to fresh install via CD. I don't believe you can just update. [10:57] wols_, wher i can find it when installation is done? [10:57] guardian: yes [10:57] msingh: those 2 steps I have used on over a dozen machines without a hitch [10:57] neumind: dpgkg -L wine |grep bin [10:57] neumind: dpkg -L wine |grep bin [10:57] rothchild: would you know how to use Avidmux as well? [10:57] wols_: does it suppose i have to find the corresponding linux drivers for my controller ? it's an old promise controller integrated on an asus main board [10:57] wols_: I chose to load xfce from login... I'm assuming that's gdm. And what date on what file? [10:57] guardian: but beware if you use software raid (like the one on nForce boards...that only works relaibly in Windows [10:58] Lleumas: it can be done via the alternate CD, but not the live disc. [10:58] guardian: you want to use software raid anyways. since it's not a raid card waht you have [10:58] hmm i'm afraid of touching the discs from linux :( [10:58] possibly it's all principles rather than me being a power user, I've just enough knowledge to be dangerous! ;-) [10:58] i guess i'll buy a NAS thing [10:58] and put the discs inside [10:58] guardian: linux software raid and windows software raid [10:58] Ah. That's nice to know [10:58] in kino you can use the edit tab and set the play maker to where you want your clip to end [10:59] wols_, i installed and i cant find wine [10:59] neumind: I gave you the command to use [10:59] then split the scene and you'll see another thumbnail appear in the lift hand pane [10:59] lol wine must be executed like this [10:59] wols_: yeah i understood lately that my raid was software raid achieved by the windows driver, however i don't know exactly how the windows driver does it, and i'm afraid it does not correspond to linux's way of doing raid 1 [10:59] wine windows executable.exe [10:59] wols_, that command do nothing.. [10:59] wine has no gui of its own [10:59] you can delete that (select it and cut) you are then left with your edited clip which you can export [10:59] (well, winecfg) [11:00] wols_: I chose to load xfce from login... I'm assuming that's gdm. And what date on what file? [11:00] rothchild: ahhh .... ok [11:00] rothchild: well I am trying to figure out Avidemux now..... [11:00] rothchild: an experience there?

[11:01] yes [11:02] if yes, paste a fglrxinfo [11:02] 8.42 [11:02] neumind: stop that pasting here [11:02] then it's supported [11:02] boris: thank you Boris [11:02] (badly) [11:02] boris: it doesn't [11:02] wols_, then why u cand tell me normal what i need to do?

[11:03] neumind: ls -al .xsession-errors shows you the timestamp. just press ctrl+alt+f1 that brings you to a text console [11:04] with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop you stop the login manager and then you can start X with startx for example. it might give you some errors [11:04] to get the login manager back you use sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start === GNUdog_ is now known as GNUdog [11:05] Neumind: Just download in synaptic [11:06] hi, I would like to install ubuntu on my mum's laptop, but I had actually some problems with networking, solved by this - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=522139&page=2 , but I can't reboot cuz I'm on livecd and all the things will have to be configured again, and it seems that the only working thing in networking is ping to some IP's, even ping google.com gives "unknown host" error. what to do, install without real connection and then [11:06] configure it again, and get polish translation packages, or maybe you'll have any solutions? [11:06] why is it possible to access my ubuntu via putty/ssh_winXP without having a key in /root/.ssh/authorized_keys [11:06] matmax, uh, i'll install then configure it [11:07] you probably have wrong DNSs if any, since it does not ping google [11:07] MarcoZ: fix your DNS. put the proper nbameserver in /etc/resolv.conf [11:07] editing a live would be a waste of time imo [11:07] wols_: 2007-12-08 05:52 <--- what I got when I used ls -al .xsession-errors... Going to do the other stuff you suggested [11:08] good morning everyone.

[11:36] <]Spectre[> stefano,http://www.asus.it/products.aspx?l1=5&l2=26&l3=525&l4=0&model=1630&modelmenu=2 [11:36] _Dbug_, i would recomment to check everything very preciesly before spending a lot of money. maybe you should go to a local hardware dealer, they usually allow you to pop in a ubuntu cd [11:38] ]Spectre[, i have a very similar notebook by hp and the battery lasts about 1:15. The Celeron M processor really is no good when it comes to power consumption.. unfortunately [11:38] <_Dbug_> stefano, sounds like a good suggestion. Would be cool to have somewhere a page where people can indicate which hardware configuration worked/failed, a bit like WineHQ app list, but for hardware. [11:39] hi... how can i configure the system clock to be the correct time with my particular time zone? [11:39] <]Spectre[> thanks for the comparison stefano,so i think that's ok :) [11:39] _Dbug_, the german ubuntu website has such (called hardware database) [11:39] youre welcome spectre [11:39] <_Dbug_> ok [11:40] _Dbug_, maybe there is something like that in the ubuntu-wiki? [11:40] <]Spectre[> bye [11:41] wols_: Are you still there? [11:41] _Dbug_, the problem is really, that some pcs _only_ work with vista these days. it is horrible..then you sometimes don't have the right drivers for SATA so ubuntu won't recognize your hard drive and you can't install. if you really want to spend a lot of money on something like an XPS, you should be sure to check out if everything works for you [11:41] <_Dbug_> stefano, then it probably means it's even possible that I cannot install XP on it. [11:41] _Dbug_, it is possible [11:42] "the problem is really, that some pcs _only_ work with vista these days." I don't believe this [11:42] _Dbug_, you could build your system yourself though [11:42] <_Dbug_> stefano, these days I consider XP as a good OS, and Ubuntu as a thing good enough to me on my harddrive as my main os (xp is for gaming), but I hate Vista. [11:42] <_Dbug_> stefano, I'm having "home pc" deals with my company. They work only with few retailers. [11:43] i see [11:43] the main things to look for is wireless chips - don't get broadcom, generally the more intel stuff it has in it the more likely you are to have a good time with linux [11:43] Hi guys, I have a problem. I am in Ubuntu safe mode right now. Accessing the default session gives me an "your session lasted less than ten seconds" error. Can someone please help me, as this is my productivity machine? [11:43] _Dbug_, well i hope you find a retailer who is kind enough to let you put a ubuntu live cd into their machine to check out if everything works. but if youre to spend a lot of money, they are usually pretty kind :-) [11:44] gotta go, have a nice day everyone [11:44] hello folks === Pseudo is now known as Lleumas [11:45] hi [11:45] i have some problem with my ubuntu 7.10 and would like som help (newbie problem):P [11:45] wols_: I'm assuming not. So, thanks for all of your help. I really didn't get anywhere, but that's my own damned fault for messing with things in the first place :) Thank you for your time. I've been up literaly all night though, so I'm going to pass out now and work on this later. Bye. [11:46] vong10 try a reformat [11:46] Hi guys, I have a problem. I am in Ubuntu safe mode right now. Accessing the default session gives me an "your session lasted less than ten seconds" error. Can someone please help me, as this is my productivity machine? [11:46] vong10: what's the issue? [11:46] its not like that. but everytime i click the restart button the system shuts down instead [11:47] compuman: run df to see if any of your filesystems are full [11:48] Can I upload a newer version of existing package in ubuntu to my PPA? [11:48] 5%, 1%, 0%, 1%, 28%... what doess all of that mean?

[11:49] adamonline45, thanks [11:49] apt-get is upgrading, its updatting a package called linux-ubuntu-modules(uname -r)what is tis package for, i would assume its some kernel modules??? [11:49] compuman: Use% at 100 [11:49] vong10: I'm sorry, I'm at a loss on that... But really, how often do you restart? I wish that were MY biggest issue 8) [11:50] usually I restart when i want to use Windows XP [11:50] vong10: if you run 'sudo reboot' in a terminal, does it shutdown or reboot? [11:50] xcst: np! [11:51] yes, the system shuts down also when sudo reboot:S [11:51] lots of updates recently [11:51] SoundRay, it's not there. It's 28% or less. [11:51] vong10: ooh, gotcha... Hmm... Yeah, I'm sorry, I wish I could help more! Have you tried (i think) sudo shutdown -r now [11:52] compuman: good, it's not that then. Look at your .xsession-errors file -- it may contain a hint. [11:52] where is that located? [11:52] compuman: in your home directory [11:52] adamonline45, i also want to change the controls [11:52] adamonline45: does shutdown -r restart the system? [11:52] adamonline45, not the window border only [11:52] Hi [11:53] vong10: 'shutdown -r now' is essentially the same as reboot [11:53] process:5335): Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid.

Even if not, I know shutdown provides a restart option, and it possibly might provide a new outlet for restarting that works mroe predicatbly... I'm afraid that's the best I can offer 8) [11:54] vong10: I mean, I don't believe it will solve your problem. === nuu is now known as nu === nu is now known as nuu [11:54] compuman: do not paste error messages here [11:54] SoundRay, any clue what the error message means?

[12:06] it com with a desktp one not a server. [12:07] come [12:07] gluonman: paste into a directory where you have write permissions, like your $HOME [12:07] Would it be easy for my mother to use? [12:07] soundray, is it impossible to paste it in usr? [12:07] soundray: <3 [12:08] gluonman: no, but I would recommend strongly against it. What kind of data is it? [12:08] soundray, it is information that I'm taking from the computer I'm on right now. The other computer has no internet access, so instead of downloading something from the repos I am trying to build it by copying and pasting it from this computer. [12:09] soundray, which is why some things will belong in usr and places like that. [12:09] hi all [12:09] can anyone tell me what would be the best sollution for a server for a noob? [12:09] !aptoncd | gluonman [12:09] gluonman: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [12:09] soundray: What is rs232? [12:09] gluonman: much better to transfer the .deb packages and install them properly [12:09] x_zeuss, the server install cd found at www.ubuntu.com might help there [12:10] adamonline45: a protocol standard for serial communications [12:10] soundray, where are the .deb packages? [12:10] x_zeuss: Probably ubuntu with a LAMP install... [12:10] adamonline45: good for old modems and lab equipment [12:10] Is there an opensource virusscanner that runs on linux but detects windows viruses? [12:10] gluonman: /var/cache/apt/archives/ [12:10] ompaul: i've heard that ubuntu is not the best sollution for a server [12:10] x_zeuss, then why ask here [12:10] soundray, thanks.

[12:12] kylk, yes, there are several av for linux... from the opensource clamav to versions of AVG, Avast, etc [12:12] x_zeuss, some of it is on dapper and some of it I have on fiesty [12:12] Hello, there! Is there a program that I can use in text mode (terminal) to view images? [12:12] x_zeuss: True, many of us are probably biased here... But I assure you we've got our reasons, so does that not count for objectivity? ;) [12:13] francesco_: Ascii images? [12:13] No! I just don't want to pas through GNOME or KDE. [12:13] pas=pass [12:14] francesco_: eog, display (from imagemagick), gqview [12:14] Do these programmes allow me to modify images? [12:14] adamonline45: so what do u recomand for a noob server? [12:14] "This process is currently running setuid or setgid. [12:14] This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper [12:14] program instead."

[12:15] Soundray, I cannot use my computer without safe mode. [12:15] francesco_: yes [12:16] compuman: your original question was much better - more precise. Don't address me, I don't know how to solve it. [12:16] compuman: do mention that none of your filesystems are full [12:16] Excuse me, but can I use Synaptic only in GUI mode, is there a program in text mode (terminal) too? Or I only can use apt-get? [12:17] francesco_: aptitude [12:17] francesco_, sudo apt-get install zgv [12:17] No! I want to view the list of all programs like in Synaptic. [12:17] I receive the error message "This process is currently running setuid or setgid. [12:17] This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper program instead." None of my filesystems are full, and this error message forces me to boot in safe mode on my productivity message. I'd appreciate your help, please. [12:17] x_zeuss: Ubuntu 6.06 server (longest support until Hardy comes out), with the LAMP install option. It's worked quite well for me, and I'd still use it if I didn't feel like workin' too hard on an install... :) [12:17] francesco_: use sudo aptitude [12:18] Holy moly... Hiccups = bedtime... G'night all! [12:18] francesco_, the console is an alternative to the gui don't expect to get all you get on one to be as easy to use on the other [12:19] adamonline45: dapper will be supported beyond the next LTS release [12:19] I mean, when I used DOS, there was DOSshell that was similar to "file manager" in Windows 3.1. [12:20] I'm looking for something like that. [12:20] francesco_: do you read me? [12:20] soundray: Yes. [12:20] francesco_: for the third time: use sudo aptitude [12:20] francesco_, you have been told by soundray how to do this [12:21] Thank you very much. Goodbye.

I may easily be mistaken though... [12:22] is possible to use hfsplus in write mode with ubuntu 7.10 ? [12:22] adamonline45, na dapper is desktop june 09 and server june 11 [12:22] !lts | adamonline45 [12:22] adamonline45: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [12:23] toplok: yes [12:23] toplok: I don't think hfsplus with journalling is supported, though [12:24] thx [12:24] ompaul: Oh cool!

Morning Coffee. :P [15:01] gvsa123: ok... so maybe "video" group is what he needs? [15:01] what is the package with ls command and such ? [15:01] diego-luiz, what do you mean?

[15:03] bonsoir :) [15:03] FrankLakatos: do you understand what you need to do? [15:03] jrib: something like cat initrd.img | cpio > something [15:03] jrib: whooops... i can't find the 'video' group in the gui, but i see it in the commandline.. how do i add them via terminal? it's not chgrp isn't it? [15:03] mirak: heh... [15:04] gvsa123: sudo adduser USER GROUP [15:04] jrib: problem is that it's ppc binaries.

But I can listen to the music anyway [15:06] jrib: done... i'll check it out... but one more... i checked the man for adduser... if adduser USER GROUP adds the USER to a GROUP, how does addgroup work? [15:06] uncommon: https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/sprints/uds-boston-2007/+roadmap though this is better asked in #ubuntu+1 [15:07] gvsa123: same. Though you can also do 'adduser USER' to create a group or 'addgroup GROUP' to create a group [15:07] any idea? [15:07] Lets try that again. when i try to start synaptic i get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47381/ [15:07] better?

[15:30] wazeem: I do not know anything about wireless, but I will send you the documentation. Best to just state your issue or ask your question in a single to the channel [15:30] !wifi > wazeem (read the private message from ubotu) [15:31] then i restarted the comp and it stopped working or responding at all [15:31] someone here told me the command sudo modprobe ndiswrapper and that fixed it again [15:31] jrib, is the folder /usr/lib/mozilla or /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox? i have both folders [15:31] but when i restarted it stopped. but this time the sudo modprobe command dont work either [15:31] j [15:32] jramsey: neither, you want ~/.mozilla/plugins/ unless you know why you do not want it :) [15:32] wazeem: have you tried installing windows 95, it better than ubuntu..

[15:35] does anybody know how to associate apt protocol to firefox? [15:35] wols_: Yeah it's fglrx [15:36] har en fråga om Gutsy, hur fungerar ATI-Radeon-korten där? I Feisty var det ibland ett jävla strul. [15:36] phoenix__: there is no apt protocol [15:36] wols_: Any idea if I can somehow get higher resolution? [15:36] xoqrps: yes it can do higher. higher than vesa for sure [15:36] jrib, that works; txs for ur help [15:36] Yeah but 1400x900 is the highest I can do with fglrx [15:36] How can I find out the origins of my keyboard shortcuts? I have for example 0xa1 under the settings, but I have no idea which button this might be! (And I can't see many special buttons on my laptop.)

[15:37] wols_: I've tried it once or twice, and once it ended up with me having to reinstall my computer :;p [15:37] jrib: so if i want all users to have the same plugins as i do (for ease of use of FF), but i don't want some of their plugins in my account (for security like foxfilter) i can do sudo mv ~/.mozilla/plugins/* /usr/lib/firefox/plugins? [15:37] nagyv: Try 'xev' in a terminal in an X session. [15:37] xoqrps: just backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [15:37] jrib: or should it be *.*? [15:38] wols_: How do I backup and, restore to the backup? [15:38] wols_: I'm quite new to ubuntu, and linux [15:38] gvsa123: well plugins are things like flash, java, and a movie player. Is foxfilter an extension? [15:38] xoqrps: by copying the file to somewhere else and copying back if needed [15:38] wols_: Ok, but how do I import it later? [15:38] jrib: oh yeah... i believe so... then that would be a different case altogether? [15:38] hey [15:38] wols_: really, when I type in firefox apt://program_name browser answers with: firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because there's no a program associated with this protocol (apt) [15:39] as i said: by copying it back [15:39] jim288: can u try to comment out line 53? [15:39] my computer hangs when it tries "Setting up java-common (0.26ubuntu1) ...". Does anybody know what the problem could be? [15:39] wols_: Should I copy it via the terminal? Cause that I do not know how to do [15:39] phoenix__: there is no protocol apt://. which program would you want to use with it? [15:39] xoqrps: yes. man cp [15:39] gvsa123: yeah, it's probably best to just set that up by account [15:39] mrtimdog: I tried it already, but it just gives me decimal codes. Are these the same codes in hex? [15:39] Ok [15:39] hi [15:40] jrib: you mean install the extensions one by one? [15:40] hi [15:40] foobar:sry am an idiot, what should i do?? [15:40] can anyone help me - i've just installed ubuntu 7.10 freshly and now need to get my intel pro/wireless (211b) card working .. i hear this is ar estricted driver, is there an easy/painless way to get it workin in ubuntu? [15:40] wols_: i got firestarter to work by commenting out #Defaults !lecture,tty_tickets,!fqdn and adding Defaults !lecture,tty_tickets,!fqdn,env_reset,env_keep+="DISPLAY HOME XAUTHORIZATION" [15:40] nagyv: It should give the hex too: eg. (keysym 0x6a, j) [15:41] wols_: cp --backupp[/etc/X11/xorg.conf] ? [15:41] wols: I just want use apturl , and it can be used typing in firfox address bar this-----> apt://(and here the program name) [15:41] mrtimdog: thx, I see it now! [15:41] wow thats awesome. cs 1.6 runs better through wine then windows 200 [15:41] lol [15:41] jrib: so extensions don't work like the plugins where you just move the file to the right folder? [15:42] gvsa123: well extensions are a little trickier. You can see that you have a default profile in ~/.mozilla/firefox/. That is where extensions end up, but I'm not sure it is a simple case of just copying something over. You can play with it I guess, but I don't know exactly how it works [15:42] jim288: well, you just open /etc/apt/sources.list, and comment out line 53, meaning you put this // in front of that line [15:42] wols: but firefox says there's no program associated [15:42] kk [15:42] phoenix__: it cannot since there is no program that understands this "apt://" protocol of yours. end of story [15:42] and firefox will say the same when your do stuffphoenixmadeupinhisbrain://blah [15:44] How do you change the opacity on your terminal window or the style? :;P [15:44] jrib: yeah... i checked the files of ~/.mozilla/firefox and there's one file with a little padlock icon.. so i guess permission problems might be encountered with simple moving of files and directories...

[15:48] Tracker sucks (at least the version that comes with 7.10), Beagle is a resource hungry whore, not to mention, slow as hell (nice GUI, though), and Strigi has no Gtk client. The only option, is to install Google Desktop Search for Linux, which isn't that great. It doesn't give relevant results and takes 2 hours to index what Tracker indexes in 10 minutes. [15:49] brobostigon: but can it run ubuntu :P [15:49] wols_: Any idea about what I just said? :S [15:49] SpookyET : i second that [15:49] no dmj, i dont think so [15:49] so nobody know about wireless setup in ubuntu then :P [15:50] wazeem what huh?

I've actived XDMCP on the Ubuntu machine. Then I went to the Xubuntu machine login screen and chose the remote login via XDMCP option.

[16:01] D[iph3rM, I imagine it's still the same, no prob [16:01] one thing not mentioned in hardy roadmap... streamlining the gnome interface because what I think gnome interface is somewhat bulky in a sense that anyone using a gnome desktop of 1024x768 on a 14" monitor isn't that great compared to kde and windows gui running inside a 1024x768 [16:01] Anyone able to help with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=608760 ?

[16:02] richo, printer has built in ethernet? when you add a printer, use IPP [16:03] I don't really know how to explain this problem but; My installation of linux is working fine for most parts except that some random parts of texts get dizzy/fuzzy/miscolored [16:03] astro76: NO! router got built in print server [16:03] richo, if it's on the network already ubuntu should auto-detect it [16:03] so its not the same [16:03] richo, ah [16:03] richo, still should be IPP [16:03] and it works superb from win ;) [16:03] I do get 2 warnings in my x.log; "Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)" and "Unable to read EDID for display device CRT-1" [16:04] astro76: ok ill test some more [16:04] richo, scratch that, it would probably be what is called AppSocket/HP JetDirect, but you will need to look up info on your router [16:04] Is the new celly bk3 bluetooth dongle supported? [16:04] how to get to kubuntu using xchat [16:04] astro76: hmm ok [16:04] xchat: /j #kubuntu? [16:04] I'm having trouble with moblock.

[16:09] ranthor: what make and model of writer? [16:09] bullgard4: in the kernel quirks are routines or variables you program to make hardware that has abnormal or out of spec beheavior work afaik [16:09] there is, but the dvd doesnt spin down if i push it and the writer is still unaccessable afterwards [16:09] Jack_Sparrow: the resolution is correct (and my native one) [16:09] George_: sure thing... haven't tried that though... maybe you can post a feedback on the forums about it :) [16:09] astro76: hehe printer settings just gave up ;) didnt have time to find it before ;) [16:09] not to mention the scratches on the dvd [16:09] how to send a message to another ubuntu user using command line?

[16:12] : im sorry im just revising my question... [16:12] is anyone using thinkpad? [16:12] uncommon: ok, so use talk I think [16:12] George_, if you are looking for a particular feature ask for it instead of speaking in nebulous terms of good and best :p [16:12] aMule keeps on saying: trying to connect... [16:12] and never really connects to any server [16:12] What's a good stream recorder for linux? Not StreamRipper... I need it to work with Rhapsody as well as internet radio.

I'm experimenting with serial programming on a computer that doesn't have a serial port. [16:12] hi [16:12] bullgard4: the first paragraph in the comments tell you the file is for work-around for bugs, thus the "quirks" name [16:12] hairulfr foobar : does msg. talk etc will send a message to other ubuntu machine? [16:12] astro76: alright, I want queues + resume + pause + no timeouts + being able to download whole folders + GUI! [16:12] George_, wget works with ftp and can resume, depends on what you want [16:12] fakenick: mplayer is good if it can play the stream: something like "mplayer -dumpstream blah [16:12] " [16:13] I've managed to set my gnome-terminal to show the background image from my dekstop as background. I wanted to make it transpare to see windows and not only the desktop [16:13] is there an easy to install and config light http server ? [16:13] astro76: wget != GUI though. [16:13] uncommon: yes, read the man page [16:13] How do I reset my profile? for the terminal window? [16:13] George_, look into wget frontends like gwget or kwget [16:13] rhapsody only plays in the rhapsody player plugin for firefox on linux. [16:13] Jack_Sparrow: the mounts are ok, the volume is unmounted and lsof doesnt show any access to either /dev/hdc (the device for the writer) or /media/cdrom [16:13] hairulfr foobar : i'm installing talk right now [16:13] If i try to do a new profile it's based on Default which is this changed messed [16:13] Anyone able to help with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=608760 ? [16:13] astro76: I just downloaded Gwget and d4x, i'll try both and see how things work out! :) [16:14] George_, I believe there's also a download manager extension for firefox [16:14] downthemall or smth, true. [16:14] chazco: does using the IP address of the host directly make any difference? [16:15] One moment bobbyd, will try (cant believe i havent yet) [16:15] What is the function or purpose of the files ~/.recently-used and recently-used.xbel? [16:15] chazco: just in-case it's just some weird DNS thing [16:15] astro76: ok got jet configured. nothing happens but ill look some more. [16:15] : like "This site is prohibited your logs have been saved this serves as your first warning message the next one will be deauthorizing you from using any pc" [16:16] Would've thought a DNS issue would stop it loading altogether though, or just make it wait ages [16:16] astro76:bit unsecure about port because ive never choosed any in XP. but 515 is "shadowed" so i gues thats default then? [16:17] Cant access it at all via IP address (server says no)... [16:17] chazco: is "waiting ages" not the behaviour you're seeing [16:17] I meant waiting ages with nothing, then suddenly all loading fine... as it is it connects, but then takes ages [16:17] Jack_Sparrow: the problem is that the device is still blocked, which is why i need a way to spin down that disk and force an eject by software somehow [16:17] chazco, do you use proxy? [16:17] Nope [16:18] richo, should be in router docs or web config page, hp jetdirect used to be 9100 commonly but it could be anything [16:18] i've screwd up my madwifi drivers i think [16:18] i cant connect wirelessly [16:18] when i type ifconfig, ath0 doesn't show up [16:19] Hey... cat6 cable, cross compatible with a cat5 network [16:19] ? [16:19] ranthor: I understand what you are trying to do, but I have not seen that before... I was thinking a force mount to gain access. [16:19] astro76: yes i guess its time to look inside router www and see what taht can give [16:19] one question if use the talk command will the user has to be on a terminal for it work and receive? or whenver i send a msg will it just popup? [16:19] chazco: have you tried directly connecting your machine to the net to see if it's a problem with interaction between ubuntu and your router? (Assuming you have one) [16:19] delete $HOME/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal. How do I excecute this command? [16:19] Got a new router (not related), which didnt help.

[16:24] so you are running two cards correct? [16:24] chazco, since i dont have one lol [16:24] stenzer: usually that means you deleted files as root user and that is a diff trash can === DM|takingashower is now known as DM| [16:25] now, ive been lookin on the system config, and it seem there is no «user friendly» way of doing this [16:25] there was for the 9800 [16:25] two cards correct?

[16:26] chazco, does it work to write a file on it? [16:26] astro76: Netgear FWG114p [16:26] Yep [16:26] hello, can i install ubuntu server on a machine with no video hardware [16:26] Locksm: you can check the md5 checksum or dl it again.. maybe a little older version than the latest [16:27] downloaded directly from their website.. [16:27] user01: scp is not a bad choice, but if you don't need encryption, netcat may be worth a look [16:27] i should use the auto beta function right _ [16:27] ?* [16:27] richo, not v2? [16:27] soundray, ok [16:28] chazco, so astro76 was right? [16:28] Hi. I get "No scan results" when trying to search for wireless networks. Any idea why?

But look into tunneling via ssh [16:32] Jack_Sparrow: would i be able to use the synaptic installation of Qtparted in partitioning the drive /dev/hdb? [16:33] Locksm: try gparted from the livecd [16:33] its not installed.. Or i havnt got any qtparted in my applications places or system [16:33] jack_sparrow -- cool suggestion!

[17:32] WARlrus: My /etc/network/interfaces uses wireless-essid [essid] to set the SSID and wireless-key [ascii key] to set the wep key.

[17:34] Yeah, I've done that, but surely those changes aren't applied yet [17:34] riotkittie: for that size fs, I would favour ext3 anytime. Use ext2fsd if you need to mount it from Windows. [17:34] thanks soundray [17:34] dersu: if you do want to upgrade, you should probably run a livecd first to see if it recognizes your wireless ,etc [17:34] skywalking: when you have it working like you want you need to save them with iptables --save (or something simular, read the man page). I think the common debian way is to put the "iptables --restore" command into the post-up in /etc/network/interfaces [17:34] and bazhang [17:34] WARlrus: Type into the same terminal: "sudo ifdown [interface]" "sudo ifup [interface]" [17:35] dersu: no worries :} [17:35] skywalking: more info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [17:35] Thanks [17:35] Jack_Sparrow, it's currently running with 64MB pc100 and it works fine with 5.10, is it easy (and cheap) to find/buy memory like this?

[18:01] Sorry for this being so long, but I feel that everything mentioned here is required. alright. I uninstalled compiz a day or so ago and did something with xgl that I thought was required (I know now that it wasn't) and after logging out, I found that I could not log in using either X or GNOME. I've tried Fluxbox and Xfce, but neither of those work either. What happens is I attempt to login, it accepts my username and pw, then goes to a brown screen, then [18:01] well i did it a while ago and it didnt work [18:01] bump [18:02] anyone have experience with nvidia drivers? I got my settings to work right once, then I reinstalled ubuntu and now it doesn't work right [18:02] but how would i get it to work [18:02] sylverfox: http://tvtime.sourceforge.net/help.html#audioconnect [18:02] sylverfox: have you looked at this?

[18:03] mega-seed: you might want to take a look online, googling the name of your wifi card plus ubuntu [18:03] ompal [18:04] therempers, it should help a lot [18:04] joebob77as7: I'll try that.

Install windows in that space, formatting the partition to FAT32 or NTFS, then you willhave to restore the boot loader if you still want to boot Ubuntu. === claudio is now known as PalestinaLibre [19:33] thanks [19:33] I download things legally (iTunes), but mostly CDs === jonatan is now known as J4t [19:34] so what's the matter? [19:34] Raiden: create back your Desktop directory =P [19:34] Pc_Dark, in that case I'd download the proprietary mp3 codec, and over time re-encode to ogg... ogg is a very nice format, better than mp3 imo [19:34] mnemonica: rehi [19:34] Thank you, Do I fix the boot loader with the live cd as well? I want to keep Ubuntu but I want to game a little. [19:34] wols_: Problem... [19:34] mnemonica: which is? [19:34] tst [19:34] !grub | Puckinovski, [19:34] Puckinovski,: 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 [19:34] wols_: I can't connect on the correct port [19:34] silent, proprietary? is that legal? [19:34] when I goto System, there isnt anything listed as system management. [19:34] LiMaO: Of course i already did it, still doesn't work. [19:34] wols_: I'm back in the failsafe [19:34] i need some help. [19:34] sweet a how to [19:34] mnemonica: how did you try to connect? [19:35] could that just be under ubuntu and not kubuntu? [19:35] Pc_Dark, but if you have not lossless source and only an mp3, re-encoding from mp3 to ogg vorbis will only decrease the quality,as each codec strips significant amounts of data from the file [19:35] how do i test my 3d rendering, there is a program that lists the different things and gives weather or not they are working [19:35] How much space does ubuntu need to install? (im using XP and ubuntu on the same disc) [19:35] hmm i use the german version :-P there must be the synaptics paket manager [19:35] nevermind I should just install windows [19:35] its like xxx | grep xxx [19:35] Pc_Dark, Proprietary software is software provided free to use, but not to develop [19:35] do you guys know how to install google earth in ubuntu? [19:35] wols_: Yes, it doesn't work. Its trying to get to irc.freenode.net from port 6667. It needs to utilize 8001, how do I change which port it uses? [19:35] synaptic problem, need a bit of help http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47429/ [19:35] Raiden, have you tried rebooting? Ubuntu 7.10 recreates those folders, also some other useless ones -- unless you have disabled that option in Sessions screen [19:35] its ubuntu standart and not kde or gnome bounded [19:35] How much space does ubuntu need to install? (im using XP and ubuntu on the same disc) [19:35] !googleearth [19:35] Google Earth is now available, for free (only as in price), for Linux, too. To download it see http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html - A package for Ubuntu is available in the !Medibuntu repository [19:36] Spzatt: about 2gb is more than enough [19:36] !googleearth | luis [19:36] luis: please see above [19:36] LiMoA: after following the instructions and double checking the xorg.conf's 3 new lines nothing is being displayed on the projector, but the dialog and widescreen resolution on the CRT are corrected [19:36] Well [19:36] mnemonica: /connect irc.freenode.net 8001 [19:36] Spzatt, I've noticed around 3.5gb is used when I'm done [19:36] silent, so for downloading MP3 podcasts I could use the proprietary MP3 to transfer to OGG ? [19:36] I tried to install it [19:36] but it says i dont have enought space [19:36] wols_: ALright. attempting... brb [19:36] Spzatt, but that's including a fair few documents etc [19:36] thanks, but me not know how to install it :( [19:36] ;p; [19:36] i have 20 gb of free space. [19:36] JamoSmith: have you restarted the computer? and now the projector isn't working?! that's weird [19:37] LiMaO: I didn't disable anything, and rebooted 7 times . :| [19:37] ahhm... PS3_User i just thought of.... ahm isn't your browser asking you to download flash when you try access flash pages? [19:37] Pc_Dark, you don't want to decode mp3 to encode to ogg... both codecs are lossy codecs and remove large chunks of data from the raw audio stream [19:37] yeah [19:37] Pc_Dark, an ogg-encoded mp3 song will never be as good as the original mp3 [19:37] its not a song [19:37] its a podcast [19:37] when i downloaded the tarball, it said it wasnt for my arch [19:37] Ive tried to install it, i got 20 GB of free space, but when i choose that it should use the free space, it says i dont have enought space. [19:37] LiMaO: correct. I will ensure there are no extra xorgs and the appropriate one has the 3 new lines in the Section "Device" indented area and restart again. [19:37] remember, this is a PPC64 processor. [19:37] Pc_Dark, assume "song" = any data encoded in mp3 [19:37] how is ubuntu on ps3 working for ya [19:37] JamoSmith: alright, i'll be here =) [19:37] My cpu is currently being undercloaked by 1ghz, the reason for this is to do with the message (MP-BIOS BUG: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC), I would like to know how to fix this problem? [19:37] silent, podcasts are not high quality [19:38] Ive tried to install it, i got 20 GB of free space, but when i choose that it should use the free space, it says i dont have enought space. [19:38] it's a 20kbit stream podcast [19:38] Pc_Dark, mp3 stream? [19:38] its not bad. workable. it can be slow to bring up large windows, or windows with transparancy. [19:38] the downloads are mp3 [19:38] wols_: Ok, it's up and running. I don't see how I can scroll text though, so this is going to be difficult. [19:38] but i cant open mp3 files [19:38] Ive tried to install it, i got 20 GB of free space, but when i choose that it should use the free space, it says i dont have enought space. [19:38] Spzatt: you may have 'free space', but that may be not free unpartitioned space [19:38] Spzatt: unformated or ntfs? [19:39] Pc_Dark, in that case get the gstreamer mp3 codec and convert as many lossless sources to ogg as you can [19:39] ye... [19:39] hmmm [19:39] mnemonica: pgup. and /lastlog [19:39] Pc_Dark, converting from mp3 to ogg is bad [19:39] wols_: Awesome. [19:39] Im not a IT professional, but how do i select it to partition some space? (like 5gb?) [19:39] is that LEGAL? [19:39] dunno, i can ask my friend tomorrow but that won't help you know [19:39] Pc_Dark, yes [19:39] wols_: Ok, so. What now? [19:39] ompaul, I went in and modified the PDF.ppd file for cups pdf the imagable area was wrong. However this still didn't fix it... do you know if there is another ppf that I need to modify? [19:39] If anyone knows about wine and counter strike making that run smooth I will forget xp altogether [19:39] does anyone know how to install the google earth bin file? === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [19:39] mnemonica: go to console 2 (ctrl+alt+f2) [19:39] mnemonica: run "startx gnome-session" [19:39] luis, sudo ./filename.bin [19:39] Im not a IT professional, but how do i select it to partition some space? (like 5gb?) [19:39] Kubuntu installed rather fast on here. I do have to say, that OpenSuse 10.3 does use alot newer version of KDE, and ran faster, I just couldnt get the resolution for this HDTV figured out. [19:40] help! Sempron3100+ on MSI VIA K8T8 with nvidia7600GS (256MB) and 2GB ram. After installing using the alternate CD, all I get is my mouse pointer (looking uncorrupted and playing the anims as it should) and a white screen. I can log in blind, but then the task bars appear and just afterward the screen fills with white blocks. mouse pointer still visible and okay. any idea???? [19:40] Puckinovski, try the wine database and search the forums. In ubuntuforums.org there is now a subforum dedicated to wine. [19:40] Spzatt, are you in the installer? [19:40] No, but i can write down what you say [19:40] ok, thank you! [19:40] Would you please PM me it? [19:40] Spzatt, what is the concern here.. do you have free space on the disk, any other operating systems on the disk? [19:40] but im still lost on flashplayer.

[19:41] Spzatt, in that case the installer should show that your windows partition is "ntfs" format [19:41] ompaul, i want to print a pdf file and send it to someone who can then print it. I can not copy text and paste it into a program. I am working with legal documents [19:41] has anyone used linux mint? [19:41] SmoothOp: yes [19:41] I think I already found a solution. Thank you vocx! [19:41] Well, what should i do ? [19:42] Spzatt, simply don't do anything to that second partition, thourhg 2gb free space is a bit small [19:42] wols_: Ok, did it. It gave me an error. Would you like me to copy it via type-in to this console for you to see? [19:42] SmoothOp mint is not ubuntu, so not supported here [19:42] i got 20gb [19:42] though* [19:42] Is there really no one who knows how to help me?? Getting desperate, cant install anything, or uninstall for that matter. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47429/ [19:42] mnemonica: if it's only one line, yes [19:42] Spzatt, oh, 20 gb for linux?

I've noted in the past that with Windows, when it doesn't know anything about the projector and sends a 1600x1200 image it gets displayed on the projector either way. This leads me to believe Ubuntu is giving up. any ideas? [19:43] ikonia: do you have a reference link for that? [19:44] wols_: What did that do? I entered that in here. [19:44] JamoSmith: try playing with the 'metamodes' try 800x600 for both an also higher resolutions, such as 1280x1024, 1600x1200 [19:44] anyone know why when I type in "sudo./GoogleEarthLinux.bin" in the terminal it won't work :S ?

You will find it in the kernel documentation. [20:02] sammyF, haha. You know you can control the pointer with the keyboard, check the accessibility options. I do this because my wireless mouse runs out of batteries often.

[20:05] wow thats alot of people [20:06] ,.l.. <-- that looks more realistic [20:06] selene: ~/.amsn maybe? [20:06] bullgard4, you mean in the SourceForge page? Or maybe it is updated with the kernel. Why would they provide a deb package for a small utility? [20:06] so does anyone use the ML1309 Gateway Laptop for Ubuntu? [20:07] vocx: I thought there was a DEB program package providing s2ram, s2disk and s2both altogether. But there is none. [20:08] Hi guys. I want to play a game called Nexuiz but it keeps crashing on me all the time the moment it shows a lot of gunfire. And with crashing i mean the whole computer freezes. My videocard is an ATI Radeon 9600 and i'm using the open-source 'ati' driver. [20:08] LiMaO: if you don't have any more suggestions I think I'm going to be AFK for a bit [20:08] can i get some advice from someone? I had to cut power to my laptop when Ubuntu was locked up... now the partition I have mounted at /home isn't working... I _think_ the "journal" is corrupt [20:09] what do i do [20:09] halo? [20:09] JamoSmith: thinking about everything we tried, i cannot suggest anything different. but you may try playing with those settings till you find the one that will work for you [20:09] LiMaO: okay, thanks for your help! [20:09] JamoSmith: also consider re-running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg aswell, with different values [20:09] JamoSmith: you're welcome [20:10] what is the difference b/w vmlinuz and vmlinux file? [20:10] Areli2, maybe there is no way to make it work because of the drivers and the old card. Maybe you need a faster processor or more memory. [20:10] Jimnastics, vmlinuz is a compressed image. This is explained in a wikipedia article, I think. [20:10] vocx: That's not an old card. Before this i had an ATI Radeon 9250. (And don't worry, i've reinstalled Ubuntu) [20:11] vocx: and the computer's really fast [20:11] vocx: and other games work just fine. [20:11] Areli2, in that case, I envy you. [20:11] vocx thx [20:11] vocx: I just got an answer from one of the Ubuntu kernel developers: " We use the acpi-support scripts in gutsy and pm-utils in hardy." So I will re-arrange my thinking and troubleshooting accordingly. [20:12] can i get some advice from someone? I had to cut power to my laptop when Ubuntu was locked up... now the partition I have mounted at /home isn't working... I _think_ the "journal" is corrupt [20:12] wols: tnx a shit load. If I ever start a new religion you will be my GOD, tnx again [20:12] what do i do [20:12] I installed Ubuntu 7.10, have two HD, original with WinXP and the 2nd an ATA has ubuntu with a 100Mb partition meant for Win and Linux, originally I formated the 2nd partition fat32 but then reformated it from windows to NSCI. Where do I tell Ubuntu of this? if you could point me to a help file that would be great [20:12] I'm having problems booting Ubuntu from the LiveCD: I've restarted the first time, and nothing happened; I've had to set the boot priority through the BIOS. After doing this, however, and selecting the first option in the list at startup (Install/start Ubuntu) Eventually, it cannot detect my 8800GT videocard and changes to low graphics mode. Afterwards, I just get the command prompt and nothing happens. Any help? [20:13] bqmassey, I'd suggest booting a live cd, then running fsck on the partition as a first step [20:13] vocx: sorry aboutthe delay, I'm jumping around between my comp and the new one [20:13] bullgard4, so, what happened to the utilities? They are no longer used? [20:13] vocx: only problem with the mouse pointer right now is that it's just a big white square [20:13] !dreamweaver [20:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about dreamweaver - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:13] nickrud.. whats the syntax for fsck? or how should i go about finding it on my own? [20:14] sammyF, I don't know. Turn off the desktop effects and see if it does any good. [20:14] alright I got my video right now, but now my terminal's window is just white and I dont have the buttons to minimize, the window button, and the exit button on my windows. anyone know how to fix this? [20:14] vocx: My interpretation is: s2ram is no longer to be used as an analytical tool for Gutsy and Hardy. Rather, other tools are provided. [20:15] ompaul, just wanted to let you know that i fixed it. It was an improper setting in the PDF.ppd file by default. [20:15] bqmassey, fsck /dev/ is the command, and man fsck will tell you some more stuff [20:15] nickrud: perfect, thanks [20:16] my terminal's window is just white and I dont have the buttons to minimize, the window button, and the exit button on my windows. anyone know how to fix this? [20:16] Wow, where did everyone go? I don't know but I'm gone too. Gotta eat. [20:16] Well [20:16] evfan42: join #compiz-fusion please (it's a compiz, related problem) [20:16] Eventually, I hope that my problem gets answered .o. [20:17] Because I wish to dual-boot. [20:17] Izidune: what's your problem? [20:17] wow, the gutsy desktop install actually worked :) [20:17] Let me paste it again.. [20:17] I'm having problems booting Ubuntu from the LiveCD: I've restarted the first time, and nothing happened; I've had to set the boot priority through the BIOS. After doing this, however, and selecting the first option in the list at startup (Install/start Ubuntu) Eventually, it cannot detect my 8800GT videocard and changes to low graphics mode. Afterwards, I just get the command prompt and nothing hap [20:17] pens. Any help? [20:18] Izidune, install it with the alternate cd and then you will be able to install the newest nvidia drivers if it doesn't work [20:18] what barabara said [20:18] I'm afraid that my CD drive can't burn to CDs, bah [20:18] Izidune: what Barbara said (and damn ... again beaten to it) [20:18] Izidune, you can do it over the network or off of a usb stick [20:18] i guess im gonna need to find some closed source screencasts because open-source isnt working for my today, or yesterday [20:19] How does one do it over the network? [20:19] 'Cause I don't have a USB stick, either [20:19] no one can figure my problem out [20:19] Izidune, do a google search for ubuntu install over network [20:19] g2g [20:19] ttyl [20:20] why do americans spell laser with a Z? It's just perverse [20:20] VSpike: we do? [20:20] VSpike: cause there was no U they could remove? [20:21] anyone in here got a Mac Mini w/ ubuntu? [20:21] * keith- is pretty sure most americans that know how to spell don't spell laser with a z... [20:22] and one word... aluminium ... wait no... it's aluminum... that's right. [20:22] Problem: I had a WinXP HD, got a new bigger SATA drive and partitioned it leaving some 100MB as fat32 for sharing b/w windows and ubuntu. Later I found out about the 2Gb file-size limit and reformatted the partition while in Windows as NTFS. The problem I am having is that Ubuntu now does not recognize (or mount) the drive correctly. Where or how do I tell Ubuntu about the change or what command/configuration file should I be looking at? === Jucxz is now known as Juzmach [20:22] keith sounds like you're right. laZer isn't in wikipedia [20:22] keith-: agreed - it looks like it must just be a common misspelling [20:23] VSpike: Keith: wouldn't make sense, as Laser is an accronyme [20:23] VSpike: Yeah... there are plenty of those. america does have its fair share of illiterates (god i hope i typo'd something in this sentence) [20:24] VSpike: they can't really change the S .. Light Amplification by Zipped Emision of Radiation??? [20:24] is there a desklet engine better than gdesklets? [20:24] whats a good ext3 reader for windows [20:25] IFS [20:25] or whatever [20:25] screenlets [20:25] sammyF: yeah, that was why I thought it was perverse to spell it that way, although we should probably write L.A.S.E.R. if we were being really pedantic [20:25] VSpike: heh [20:25] I'm off to partition my drive [20:25] * Izidune gets a butter knife [20:26] i recall some place called lazer tag or something here in the states... i'm assuming they use the z because it's hardcore [20:26] x's and z's are freaking hardcore [20:26] keith-: totally. Xtreme zeta maxx [20:26] Hi - I have an add-on pci video card that grub doesn't like - The menu ("Press esc to see list") doesn't even show - just a blinking cursor that jumps around the screen. [20:26] keith: yep .. but not l33t ..l4z3R Tag would have been cooler somehow ;) [20:26] if we had more people named xerxes and err... zebra in iraq... this war would be over [20:26] hey guys, despite my efforts my resolution on ubuntu won [20:26] laxzer tagxzor [20:26] won't * [20:26] change [20:27] anyone have any idea why ? [20:27] calcite: what resolution are you trying to get? [20:27] calcite: what graphic card do you use? [20:27] hey [20:27] anyone there i need some help [20:27] calcite: It might be because of a video card problem, or an X configuration problem. [20:27] sammyf Trident [20:27] im trying to make a GPS tracking server, and im not sure what to use [20:27] i found opengts [20:27] its stuck at 640x480 [20:27] is that any good? [20:28] calcite: odds are good you have the wrong video card driver set up in your xorg.conf [20:28] can anyone help me with this? [20:28] hi [20:28] calcite: or you have a completely unsupported video card... [20:28] hmm [20:28] calcite: hmm .. in the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, what's the name of the video driver? [20:28] Leetziggaj: #ubuntu is primarily a place for Ubuntu help and support. For info on OpenGTS, you might want to ask on their mailing list or IRC channel. [20:28] "Trident" [20:28] calcite: try running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [20:28] i knw [20:28] im asking [20:28] kind of is it any good? [20:29] or is there any GPS tracker that is good for ubuntu server [20:29] calcite: as sudo [20:29] calcite: what keith said [20:29] k [20:29] Leetziggaj: You might get an answer here, too. I'm just telling you that it isn't the most likely place to get good advice on things that aren't related to Ubuntu. [20:29] i dont want to compile any code, i dont want to have to DL alll the registries, does anyone have a pre compiled program server for GPS tracking [20:29] or try changing it to vesa if that doesn't work [20:29] ok [20:29] then can you hep me set it up [20:29] because im having problems [20:30] with compililng the code or if its even compatablie w/ ubuntu [20:30] <`m0> Hey, how is Tablet PC (the pen features) with Ubunut? [20:30] if anyone can help i can make another channel [20:30] #samz [20:30] <`m0> Can I use Tablet PC features, such as text recognition? [20:30] If I use my add-on PCI nvidia card I get a blank screen after the BIOS posts - using the onboard one works fine, and the PCI card works great in Fedora. Any suggestions? [20:30] im in there too [20:30] <`m0> Or I have to stick with Windows Vista [20:30] Blinny: what type of nvidia? [20:31] i need coffee [20:31] brb [20:31] Blinny: and does it show you the loading screen at all? [20:31] sammyF: geforce fx 4800 I believe [20:31] Can someone help me with this problem? I have a 12 in 1 card reader that used to work fine. Now recently when ever I plug in a card into it I get a message that says "You are not privileged to mount the volume 'EOS_DIGITAL'." How do I fix this? [20:31] can anyone help the dvdfab [20:31] sammyF: No, no loading screen unless I use the onboard video [20:31] Blinny: that's not good :/ [20:31] nm the boss is still here [20:32] sammyF: I know. :) [20:32] Blinny: did you try booting in safe graphic mode? [20:32] #samz if you can help me set it up [20:32] sammyF: How does one do that when I can't see any output from grub? [20:32] Hi all. I just hooked up a mouse to my laptop, is there any way I can temporarily disable the touchpad? [20:32] Blinny: oh wait .. directly after POST, so you don't even get there [20:32] Yeah. [20:32] i hate to ask but can i use debian packages for ubuntu.i do not have an internet connection. [20:32] ok i have the code DL'd but im not sure how to do it [20:32] is there way I can get rid of ~ when I join the channel [20:32] i dont think its written for ubuntu [20:32] can anyone help me i have the manual but i can do some things but still need help w/ some others [20:32] ... [20:32] Blinny: but the card works elsewhere? [20:32] It does go through the boot process - just a cursor that blinks all over teh screen. [20:33] im in #samz [20:33] sammyF: Yeah. I've got FEdora on another drive [20:33] please join if you can help! [20:33] Leetziggaj: First, you'll want to install the depedencies. [20:33] kiiz: sometimes you can, yes. [20:33] Blinny: way over my head there :/ you might try posting on the forums [20:33] ok [20:33] piratehead [20:33] ok.. i have a corrupt file system i'm trying to fix.. i'm running the live cd.. i dont know what to do from here.. i did 'fsck /home' and got an error [20:33] is there an ODT->OOXML converter? [20:33] can you help me in the other channel [20:33] so we dont clog it up here [20:33] !pm | Leetziggaj [20:33] Leetziggaj: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [20:33] #samz [20:34] ok [20:34] <`m0> Is there any Text Recognition software that goes with the Pen for tablet pc'S? [20:34] so you want me to stay here? [20:34] What does 'pm-utils' stand for? [20:34] Blinny: see if there is a BIOS setup option to make the PCI card the primary video adapter [20:34] hello [20:35] so pirate head [20:35] this is a quick list of what it says [20:35] soundray: There is. This only occurs when I set it to PCI. [20:35] i need help... [20:35] i new ate linux [20:35] soundray: Right now I'm using the onboard. [20:35] Because if there were, I could do ODF->OOXML, then use the microsoft converter to convert to .doc, .xls, etc [20:35] 2.1) Prerequisites [20:35] Compiling OpenGTS requires that the following packages or application be installed, configured, and running on [20:35] the local system: [20:35] • Java SDK v1.4+ (OpenGTS has also been tested successfully on v1.5.X. v1.6.X is still being tested) [20:35] Download page: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html [20:35] Important Note: To avoid potential headaches trying to get the code to compile, make sure you are using [20:35] Blinny: so you've exhausted that? [20:35] the "Sun Microsystems" version of the Java compiler. The 'other' versions have problems compiling this [20:35] code. After installing the Java compiler, check your version with the following command: [20:35] I've tried nosplash and vga=771 [20:35] java -version [20:35] Make sure it says "Java(TM)" and "Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM". [20:35] Note: Make sure that the Java SDK installation 'bin' directory has been added to the PATH environment [20:35] variable (see below). [20:35] • Ant v1.6.5 or v1.7.0 [http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi] [20:35] Download v1.6.5: http://archive.apache.org/dist/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.6.5-bin.zip [20:35] Download v1.7.0: http://archive.apache.org/dist/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.7.0-bin.zip [20:35] Note: Make sure that the Ant installation 'bin' directory has been added to the PATH environment [20:35] variable (see below). [20:35] • Apache Tomcat v5.0.28 servlet container [http://tomcat.apache.org/download-55.cgi] [20:36] !paste | Leetziggaj [20:36] Leetziggaj: 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) [20:36] soundray: You mean.. plugging the monitor into the correct one and changing the BIOS? [20:36] Thank you Seve [20:36] bullgard4: power management utilities, probably [20:36] anybody helps me? [20:36] mmm [20:36] hmmm [20:36] !anyone [20:36] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [20:36] hv: what are you trying to do [20:36] ok [20:37] off to solve MY problem now ;) [20:37] later [20:37] I've tried changing usplash.conf to 1024x768 and update-initramfs -- also vga=771 and nosplash on kernel boot line [20:37] Blinny: I would also check if there is still video output from the onboard connector, in spite of setting everything to the NVidia card. [20:37] Blinny: it could well be that your problem is at a lower level [20:37] when i booting ubuntu live cd for amd64, it asked me for the user name [20:37] anyone knows how to make ubuntu faster??? [20:37] soundray: That would have to be an Ubuntu problem then - I believe the BIOS switch turns the device off [20:38] what should i whrite there? [20:38] hanta: get more ram, and a new processor ;) [20:38] hanta: More RAM helps, more swap might help, shutting down some services might help. [20:38] anyone: what do i type in the terminal to see a list of my hard drive partitions... and their ids? [20:38] bq [20:38] Hay guise, I'm Jack n m 9 yrs old, i used compters for liek 3 yrs now, but nly used windws, im watn to us lunix casue i hurd its gud [20:38] bqmassey: blkid [20:38] ahaaha!! [20:38] lol silent [20:39] Okay guys, first a short story. This is what a friend of mine just sent me on MSN. [20:39] silent: linux is 10+ only [20:39] =P [20:39] lulz [20:39] Is it enough with 1 gb of swap ? [20:39] hanta, should be [20:39] "Your good with computers, tell me how much this sucks. MY friend who lives with me and uses my other computer just had my dad FDisk the computer to install windows... It had ubuntu. He wanted it because ubuntu wasn't accessing the web. All he had to do was type sudo apt-get remove dhis-server. You know of any way to recover partions, because I'm not thinking clearly at the moment" [20:39] hanta: yes [20:39] /ban silent reason=troll [20:39] okey [20:39] hanta: 1gb of swap is good [20:39] grrr [20:40] Can anyone think of a way of sorting this, without an Ubuntu LiveCD. The same friend lost the c [20:40] when u add things to gnome panels like the trash applet and u have a custom background it doesnt use the custom background behind the applet. why is this? [20:40] CCD [20:40] i have a OS upgrate question [20:40] hanta: how much ram do you have? [20:40] soundray: My question proper was why a kernel developer said that pm-utils are for Hardy and acpi-support is for Gutsy. [20:40] !offtopic | silent [20:40] hi...boot partitions should always be Primary, right? [20:40] silent: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [20:40] Never Logical? [20:40] dan : I have 1.25 gb RAM [20:40] Anyone know how to set read write permissions on card readers under Ubuntu? [20:40] hanta, are you doing general-purpose computing or are you using large applications/servers? [20:40] hv: Isn't live cd same as regular ubuntu desktop or server? [20:40] yah [20:41] Phydoux: edit your /etc/fstab file appropriately [20:41] Desktop computing only, It just seems slow with this gnome desktop [20:41] hv: then it shouldn't be asking you for login [20:41] hanta: Ubuntu should be plenty fast for you, then. I'm running it on 512mb of ram and it's fine. [20:41] Nirevus: without a way to boot ubuntu, there's no point asking this in a Ubuntu channel. Otherwise he could use gpart or testdisk to try and recover the partitions [20:41] So I did a dist-upgrade from 6.06 to 7.10 on my server, and now I can't mount /dev/hdb1. It says /dev/hdb1 is already mounted or /home is busy. But I try to umount /dev/hdb1 and /home and I'm told it's not mounted. And I try to run fsck on it and I'm told it's busy. [20:41] hv: try the first install option [20:41] hanta, do you have any swap at the moment? [20:41] bullgard4: I don't know if [20:41] And when I pulled up fdisk on it, it didn't look like it had a partition. [20:41] I am upgrading to 7.10, and I need to leave in about 1 hour and 1/2. I am on the "Installing the Upgrades" step, so can I disconnect the internet connection? [20:41] danc3, It's not in my fstab [20:41] ...I looked [20:41] bullgard4: I don't know if #ubuntu+1 is active again yet -- have you checked? [20:41] and format your partition [20:41] BruceM91, I wouldn't [20:41] Phydoux: ummmm, that might be a clue [20:41] htop is marking a 33mb use of swap right now [20:42] thanks [20:42] #ubuntu+1 has been active for weeks [20:42] yah! so, i tried to download the 32bits version, and it didnt asked me the username to install! but the live cd 64bits, ask me for an user name... [20:42] hanta, how much swap do you have? [20:42] Can someone help me with my bluetooth headset? [20:42] 1gb [20:42] soundray: Yes, I checked, and just in this moment there comes in a comprehensive answer. [20:42] soundray: While it's the Ubuntu channel, there are 1228 linux users here. There's quite a high chance SOMEONE knows how to get it back. He does have a Linux From Scratch boot disk [20:42] 1.25 gb of RAM with 1 gb of swap should be plenty and then some. [20:42] TV Cards don't work on linux yet right? [20:42] danc3, They are all in my File Browser... [20:42] cylex: of course they do [20:42] PirateHead, tells the truth [20:42] cylex: most do [20:42] cylex: depends on the card [20:43] god dammit.. i can't figure out how to get fsck to work.. can someone thats got a minute pm with me [20:43] Nirevus: well, I've said it -- if he has a way to run gpart or testdisk -- those are Linux partition recovery tools [20:43] okay [20:43] I have ATI TV Wonder VE [20:43] Nirevus: note gpart != gparted [20:43] then [20:43] would it work on ubuntu? [20:43] hanta: Perhaps there's a process sucking up a ton of resources? [20:43] It may be [20:43] cylex: I got a TV wonder to work once [20:43] may be is gnome itself? [20:43] does anyone here use the ML1309 gateway laptop [20:43] hanta: Do you know how to use ps to check resource usage? [20:43] hanta, can you list your system specs? also, type "top" in a terminal [20:43] does anyone know a program to play shoutcast radio streams? i'd love to use rhythmbox if at all possible [20:43] hi does anyone know why the movies in www.quicksilverscreen.com don't play with sound i'm using gutsy gibbon flash is installed [20:44] hanta: Gnome is a little heavy compared to some other desktop environments, but you have enough ram to handle it easily. [20:44] koiron: streamtuner [20:44] sound is ok cds play on it [20:44] swhalen: in linux ? [20:44] anyone here know how to get a bluetooth headset/dongle to work [20:44] hanta: what exactly is your speed issue -- startup, responsiveness, network? [20:44] It's a celeron D315 2.26 Ghz [20:44] danc3, thanks i'll check it out :) [20:44] 1 gb of Ram [20:45] and, well, you know how many swap [20:45] hi does anyone know why the movies in www.quicksilverscreen.com don't play with sound i'm using gutsy gibbon flash is installed [20:45] where can I find guide on TV Card [20:45] !repeat | nomic [20:45] nomic: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[20:45] thanks jadd [20:45] hanta, type "top" in a terminal... see what's eating up your resources [20:45] yes the cd plays [20:45] sound is on [20:45] does anyone know of any alternatives to winff? i am trying to encode video's for my smartphone - 176 x 220 resolution and 200 frames / second and mpeg file type [20:45] hanta: is it a laptop? [20:45] nomic: Does YouTube play? [20:45] the first row in the top command is amarokapp [20:45] ok will check [20:45] nomic: With sound, that is? [20:45] cylex: yes, try tvtime [20:46] soundray; is a desktop pc [20:46] trying it now piratehead [20:46] nomic: Just tried it, worked fine under firefox with totem's default plug-in, image and sound [20:46] totem [20:46] where does aftpd-hpa log to? [20:46] where do i get that [20:46] is that a set of libraries [20:46] nomic: It's installed by default. [20:46] swhalen: thanks [20:47] nomic: you need to open it OUTSIDE of the webpage [20:47] well [20:47] nomic: Totem is a front-end to gstreamer, which is also installed by default. [20:47] nomic, go to youtube... firefox should get a popup saying additional plugins are needed, synaptic will handle the install [20:47] I have to leave buddyes, thanks for your time! [20:47] youtube says ok [20:47] plays ok [20:47] nomic: Okay, flash probably isn't your problem then. [20:47] nomic, what's the prob then? [20:47] nomic: you can also save it to disk, you just need to open it OUTSIDE of the webpage, then the audio codec will trigger to install [20:48] when i'm booting ubuntu the cd for amd64, it asks me for an username... and i cant install.. but the 32bits versions donts ask for anything... but i want 64bits version, does anyone knows the username?? [20:48] nomic: However, the video you're trying to watch on silverscreen isn't a flash video. [20:48] The video I tried had a small divx logo in the corner, maybe you haven't installed divx codecs? [20:48] nomic: it doesnt work when its embedded ... :( [20:48] i see [20:48] so you got it with no sound when it was embedded danbhfi9ve [20:48] i have tried everything to get you tube to play [20:48] nomic: on the SilverScreen site, right click the movie and hit Open in Movie Player [20:48] danc3, Will /dev/sda /media/card a auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 work? [20:48] nomic: Did you see you get the images but not the sound? [20:48] still nothing [20:48] when i'm booting ubuntu the cd for amd64, it asks me for an username... and i cant install.. but the 32bits versions donts ask for anything... but i want 64bits version, does anyone knows the username?? [20:49] hv: no Ubuntu Desktop CD asks for a username. Neither 32 nor 64 bit versions. Go to the download page and get a proper 64-bit CD iso. [20:49] ninjagambit, 32 bit? [20:49] nomid: if so,... do what PirateHead said [20:49] nomic: no, but you should just try what I'm saying, you will understand if I'm correct [20:49] 64 [20:49] ok thanks... [20:49] yes jadd i got the image but not the sound [20:49] ninjagambit, heh, good luck [20:49] does anyone know how to install the google earth bin file that's sitting on my desktop? lol. [20:49] yeah [20:49] there are two tutorials on 64bit flash [20:49] one is a pluginwraper [20:49] can someone please help me fix my filesystem [20:49] everything looks fine [20:49] nomic: In that case, right click the movie in the web page and click Open with "Movie Player" [20:49] in terminal [20:49] luis: sudo ./googleearth.bin [20:50] like tutorial says [20:50] the other is 32bit emulator [20:50] i do not have open with 'movie player in my right click options piratehead [20:50] !enter [20:50] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:50] juano, I tried that and it didn't work >_< [20:50] maby im doing something wrong [20:50] nomic: Hmm... that's strange. Are you using Gutsy? [20:50] luis: heh.. double clicked it ? [20:50] Can someone help me with a script that would check for and kill a process if running, before an application begins... ie, to kill timidity everytime VLC starts [20:50] hv: username was probably the one that you choose, not one that you have already [20:50] luis: better get googleearth from the inofficial repo [20:50] yes, gutsy gibbon piratehead [20:50] luis: what error you get with sudo ./googleearth.bin [20:50] the inofficial repo? [20:50] ninjagambit, if it isn't working I'm willing to bet you are... having tried to do 64-bit flash briefly I installed 32 bit [20:51] which soundcard do you recommend (an internal one)? I can't remember who, but a guy said to me that creative's cards do much work via software while m-audio, esi and such cards has it in the hardware. is it the decoders of eax and stuff like that which creative use software for which is kind of crappy? [20:51] command not foung error [20:51] hey guys, i"m wondering if theres a way to bypass the pdf passwords on a pdf file. I purchased a $4 ebook but the password doesnt work! [20:51] found* [20:51] nomic: What is in the right click menu? [20:51] Hey folks... [20:51] "purchased" hehehe [20:51] codeshah, I bet you purchased it [20:51] but realy i dont see how sence most is copy and past [20:51] silent, yeah try it http://www.oztrack.com [20:51] what do applications use to encode video files..... all video files encoded on my system aren't played back properly [20:51] nothing about movies piratehad [20:51] BTW, nomic, quicksilverscreen.com looks interesting [20:52] codeshah: The PDFs are encrypted and you need the password to encrypt. [20:52] what book? [20:52] nomic: What options are available? [20:52] maybe i should get the divx codecs [20:52] silent, seems like its a bit old and probably hasnt updated anything . [20:52] jadd thats why i want it [20:52] lots of them pirate head [20:52] luis: get it from the medibuntu repository [20:52] nomic: Like, more than two or three? [20:52] !medibuntu | luis [20:52] luis: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [20:52] i have install xwinwrap on 7.10 and have been able to play my screen saver as my background, How do i make video player play my move in the background? [20:52] yes piratehead [20:52] its geting agrivating [20:52] nomic: have you installed mplayer per chance? [20:52] ninjagambit, install 32-bit [20:52] nomic: For me it's got Open with "Movie Player", Copy, Fullscreen, and About. Do you have those? [20:52] PirateHead, hmm . no way for me to programmatically bypass it, sucks . lets hope the guy emails me back, hrrmpf. [20:53] RazzoRz, two seconds, I have a script for that... [20:53] ninjagambit, no joke [20:53] Any of those? [20:53] im thinking about it [20:53] ty [20:53] no i do not have open with movie player piratehead [20:53] exit [20:53] nomic: How about any of the others? [20:53] hopefully something better will be worked out for hardy [20:53] for 64bit flash [20:53] what is it named in the medibuntu repository? [20:53] yes all the normal ones piratehead [20:53] i used this one " xwinwrap -ni -o 0.6 -fs -s -st -sp -b -nf -- mplayer -wid WID -quiet movie.mpg ... but it did not work [20:53] nvm, found it. [20:54] but its not like i need it [20:54] codeshah: if there's a text file inside, I've heard it's easy [20:54] Finally fixed my problem of booting... I didn't know that Windows could not be Slave [20:54] how do you have mplayer incode files? [20:54] whats the command? [20:54] wait....how do I get these packages? on the medibuntu repository [20:54] just agrivates me that it dosnt work [20:54] so i had to do some trickery [20:54] how do I get rid of trailing ~ character when I join the channel [20:54] encode* [20:54] codeshah: might be deducible by the headers of PDF as well [20:54] ninjagambit, yep [20:54] cylex: What do you mean trailing ~? [20:54] nvm, got it gys [20:55] luis: on the homepage, there is a huge link saying Repository Howto [20:55] yeah, saw it, thanks [20:55] do you see ~ [20:55] RazzoRz, OK, sorry, can't find it now... darn... [20:55] cylex: I don't see ~. What IRC program are you using? [20:55] i'm just going to hang on to my 64bit version for now ill just use my windows xp for that [20:55] bitchx [20:56] looking for good higher res but cheap webcams for ubuntu 7.10 [20:56] ninjagambit, I would seriously recommend installing 32 bit though, unless you absolutely need 64 bit... at least until hardy comes out [20:56] cylex: You might want to try a different one and see if it still happens. [20:56] JavaJake: whats the matter with this ?... xwinwrap -ni -o 0.6 -fs -s -st -sp -b -nf -- mplayer -wid WID -quiet movie.mpg [20:56] cylex: Assuming it's a bitchx issue, you'll want to find help specific to that program. [20:56] I guess if it doesn't show it then I'm fine [20:56] how do install divx on gutsy gibbon piratehead [20:56] can anyone recommend something similar to quicksilver/launchy [20:56] is there a setting in movie player or in screen saver? [20:56] for gnome [20:56] that isn'g gnome-do [20:56] tekhaw1 make sure to see if there is a driver for the EXACT webcam that you get [20:56] i am using kubuntu how had is it to change to 32bit [20:56] nomic: I'm not sure, but I would start by searching for divx in synaptic. [20:57] RazzoRz, I haven't used that in a while, lemme grab xwinwrap again [20:57] nomic: Or search in add/remove programs. [20:57] I got one, and there is no driver, so I'm installing windows :( [20:57] sure: [20:57] ninjagambit: you have to reinstall if you're downgrading from 64 to 32 [20:57] Anyone have a solution for this? [20:57] fsck.ext3: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/hdb1 [20:57] Fielsystem mounted or opeened exlucsively by another pgraom? [20:57] fsck died with exit status 8 [20:57] ack [20:57] danbhfive: i have a working quickcam from logitech right now its just old and poor quality now that skype videos on linux i need somethign worth using [20:57] you can force mount it [20:57] avidal`: don't paste errors here [20:58] avidal`: find out where it's mounted and unmount it [20:58] Whenever I try umount /dev/hdb1 or umount /home, I'm told it's not mounted [20:58] And when I try to mount it, I'm told it's already mounted or /home is busy [20:58] Same thing if I create /mnt/test and try mounting it there [20:58] avidal`: boot a live CD and run fsck from there [20:59] tekhaw1: you should ask on the forums, and search them too, but any answer you find would be great to have permanently documented [20:59] I can still get into the system if I hit CTRL+D or even just login at that point [20:59] I just can't access that disk [20:59] RazzoRz, did you turn off the background bit in gconf-editor? [20:59] Which is where all my stuff is [20:59] avidal`: boot a live CD and run fsck from there [20:59] No i did not... [20:59] is there a windows installer [20:59] What syntax should I use on fsck? I've never really used it? [20:59] Wait... [20:59] I'm not talking about wubi [20:59] avidal`: man fsck [21:00] Javajack: i did this.. " gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop false [21:00] RazzoRz, if your screen turns a color or something, and you see your desktopicons, you did not turn of your background [21:00] something that would just automatically download and install Ubuntu without a cd [21:00] avidal`: 'sudo e2fsck -y /dev/sda1' (substitute your real home partition for /dev/sda1) [21:00] I can read manpages just fine. I'm asking if there are specific options I should try to solve this problem [21:00] well thanks for your help [21:00] youtube video controls are all fucked up in firefox on ubuntu [21:00] how do i fix this [21:00] RazzoRz, OK, good [21:00] thanks soulrider [21:00] nomic: don't install mplayer if that's what you're trying to do, you shouldn't need it [21:00] er [21:00] soundray [21:00] avidal`: don't be so thinskinned [21:00] thats what you were talkin about? [21:00] bconnolly: with gnash or real flashplayer? [21:00] ok jadd [21:00] gnash [21:01] gnash [21:01] avidal`: you're getting good advice here after all. And you'd be surprised at the number of people who have never heard of man. [21:01] hm [21:01] JavaJack: i when i put the script in to start it ,,, my screen saver does play!... [21:01] i also have the nonfree plugin installed [21:01] As my Background [21:01] nomic: normally, you just try to open a divx file with the normal movie player (totem), and it will assist you in downloading the required codecs (on gutsy and feisty) [21:01] should i only have one installed at a time? [21:01] thanks soundray, I'll try that [21:02] bconnolly: become a dev and fix it [21:02] mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows [21:02] try that [21:02] heh [21:02] i just installed ubuntu two days ago [21:02] or possibly upgrade to a newer version [21:02] or just use adobe's flash player [21:02] bconnolly: thats no excuse ;) [21:02] http://www.iamserio.us/files/loonix.png [21:02] looking ok though [21:02] I've been on linux only slightly longer... [21:03] right thanks jadd [21:03] bconnolly: if you have two flash plugins, they are going to compete and cause problems. [21:03] Is there any modifications to the Ubuntu Loaf for High Altitude? [21:03] is there any solution to macromedia shockwave plugin for firefox other than crossover office ? [21:03] does apt-get dist-upgrade my ubuntu to latest version? [21:03] if anyone knows how to mount a single mirror from an mdadm array, let me know.. being cautious [21:03] cylex: no [21:03] !upgrade | cylex [21:03] cylex: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [21:03] Hi all. I'm trying to get games to work because everytime i play them, for half a minute or so they work but after that they crash, either closing the game or crashing the whole computer completely, forcing me to reboot. my video card is an ATI Radeon 9600 and i'm using the open-source drivers, not the properietery ones. Can anyone help me with this, please? [21:04] cylex, update-manager -d [21:04] DarkMageZ: much better to point to the help page (which I've done) [21:05] Is there an alternative to firefox? [21:05] greencookie: Yes. [21:05] :P [21:05] AriX_: what do you use? [21:05] greencookie: what are you looking for in a browser? [21:06] Hi all. I'm trying to get games to work because everytime i play them, for half a minute or so they work but after that they crash, either closing the game or crashing the whole computer completely, forcing me to reboot. my video card is an ATI Radeon 9600 and i'm using the open-source drivers, not the properietery ones. Can anyone help me with this, please? [21:06] Personally I use firefox [21:06] soundray: simplicity [21:06] greencookie: Internet Explorer :P [21:06] greencookie: have a look at epiphany, and if that's too complex still, dillo [21:06] Does Konquerer work with KDE? [21:06] *with GNOME [21:06] Areli2: I have the same card and it works fine... I can't help b/c I'm not at home now [21:06] AriX_: ok I'm wondering if I can view the web with anything else. [21:06] Try Konquerer [21:06] anyone in here running sabnzbd+ on ubuntu? [21:06] konqueror is kde's browser [21:06] soundray: yep ive tried epiphany, but its dependant on firefox package yea? [21:07] it works with gnome tho [21:07] aantn__: hmm.. did you have to do any setup? [21:07] greencookie: it uses the same rendering engine, so there are some cross-dependencies. [21:07] AriX_, yes it does. tho you end up installing a stackload of kde libraries to get it running under gnome. [21:07] yeah [21:07] I have this unfortunate problem, that Ubuntu refuses to start up after I plugged in a wireless networks adapter. please help! [21:07] sudo apt-get kde [21:07] *sudo apt-get install kde [21:07] Areli2: don't think so... I don't play games though... it works fine with compiz fusion [21:07] hi [21:07] I'm out of it today :P [21:07] aantn__: here too, but not with gamesa [21:07] soundray: is there a firefox independant browser which competes with firefox? [21:07] AriX_ - shouldn't it be kubuntu-desktop and not kde? [21:08] greencookie: does it have to be Free software? [21:08] maybe xgl will work better... [21:08] hi people [21:08] again Internet Explorer lol [21:08] so they say [21:08] greencookie: konqueror and opera [21:08] aantn__: doesn't have to do anything with games [21:08] AriX_, shouldn't that be sudo apt-get konqueror? to prevent the entire installation of kde... [21:08] buggeredfstab: I guess that would work. I've never done it before. [21:08] aantn__: or maybe it does, the fact that AIGLX is on [21:08] soothsayer: opera.. hmm gonna try that [21:08] Ubuntu is toying with my mind [21:08] That's what I always used when I was too lazy to download another iso ;) [21:08] DarkMageZ: Konqueror needs KDE to work [21:08] i need to know how to change cd boot in virtual box [21:08] soundray: yes free software. does anyone pay for a webbrowser down here? [21:08] AriX_: no it doesn't [21:09] I need help. I was upgrading my system when power went off. I get this error now when i try to restart the update. I'm new at ubuntu and I'm not sure what to do and how to do it. Can someone provide me with soime help [21:09] I'm just curious. [21:09] im laughing because now these files are working... but only once.. .then they stop working [21:09] AriX_, not exactly. I use knoquerer without using kde [21:09] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [21:09] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [21:09] AriX_, no it doesn't. it needs some of the kde libraries which would be pulled down with apt-get install konqueror [21:09] AriX_, 99% of it works without kde [21:09] AriX_: sudo apt-get install konqueror will put it in place so you can run it inside gnome [21:09] ah [21:09] sorry, I'm new to most of this [21:09] AriX_, it's a common misconception, don't worry about it [21:09] Can't Nautilus open http extensions? [21:09] Saluton ! [21:09] edfitz: have you tried running 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' as it suggests? [21:10] how do I do that? [21:10] If anyone needs help, PM me ! [21:10] This is a really sweeping question. But Ubuntu 7.10 is loading inredibly slow on an Aspire 1360. Takes longer than XP on the same computer, and a lot longer than Ubuntu on mine.

I'm just about to follow their guide exactly. [21:15] MarcoZ: it's in .mozilla/firefox/randomcrap/lock [21:15] What do I need to type to enter into superuser [21:15] ? [21:15] MarcoZ, make sure that there is not a firefox process still running. I've seen that several times; no visible firefox window but a firefox process still exists. [21:15] Nirevus, ok, that's worth a try. [21:15] nope, did a killall firefox [21:15] edfitz: sudo su [21:15] edfitz: enter 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' and type your user password when asked [21:15] and firefox-bin [21:16] MarcoZ, try: ps aux | grep firefox [21:16] Pelo: when i use XVidCap, i get to choose my encoder... .i chose mencoder and i get better results (sometimes lets me play the file once) [21:16] meoblast001 search the forum for convert it , see if you can do anything with taht [21:16] MarcoZ, that doesn't mean anything [21:16] TigranG: please don't recommend sudo su [21:16] RazzoRz, ./xwinwrap -ni -fs -s -st -sp -b -nf -- mplayer -wid WID -quiet moviefilehere [21:16] Pelo: when i convert it, the output file does the same thing [21:16] MarcoZ, firefox is a script, the process is firefox_bin, or firefox-bin, I forget which [21:16] TigranG: it sets up a mixed, confusing environment [21:16] or sudo ? [21:16] RazzoRz, removing the -o option fixes it for me [21:16] firefox-bin [21:16] RazzoRz, it seems the -o does not work correctly [21:16] did that too [21:16] javajakeL ty [21:16] ok, I have a dell d830 with Audio - Sigmatel (hda-intel) ... it was working fine.. now the only place I hear audio is in amarok.. rhythmbox and every other app no longer play audio.. Including when my system boots.. need a little help please [21:16] ty [21:16] Hi everyone, My labtop's CPU Fan doesn't turn on in UBUNTU can anyone help? [21:16] meoblast001, "convert it" is a new app for converting video from one format to another , give it a shot [21:17] Hi I have a bug with firefox and googlebar : when i open the third firefox window it freezes [21:17] MarcoZ: perhaps it's still running. 'killall firefox-bin' and repeat until you get an error [21:17] Pelo: is it in the repos? [21:17] remote_matrix: is it overheating? [21:17] mblind, check in menu > system > prefs ( or admin ) > sound , make sure your audio card is selected for all devices [21:17] yes, it crashes often because the fan is off (soundray) [21:18] meoblast001,do a search in the forum for it [21:18] how does one easily rip a DVD to either an ISO or BIN on Ubuntu ? i need to make a backup of my wedding video ;/ [21:18] irotas: dvd::rip [21:18] remote_matrix, the fan works in the same hardware with a different o/s? Or don't you know? [21:18] r_: that was stupid, thinking you should paste the whole file instead of listening to the advice you were getting [21:18] I'm in superuser mode and type dpkg --configure -a and it says command not found. What should I do now? [21:18] I am trying to convert a swf to an avi... any suggestions??? [21:18] !sudo | edfitz [21:18] edfitz: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [21:18] irotas: cat /dev/dvd > file.iso [21:18] todd_: mencoder [21:18] irotas, dvdshrink I think , or you can also use gnomebaker to copy and output as a .iso file [21:18] Yes it works fine with Windows etc. it even turns on once booting but goes off after grub comes on [21:18] edfitz: how did you enter superuser mode? [21:18] todd_, man ffmpeg :) [21:18] edfitz, maybe capturing screen video [21:18] Pello: "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms." [21:19] edfitz, /usr/bin/dpkg [21:19] RazzoRz, did it work for you? [21:19] ok, everything is select correctly.. but if I click test I get audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not get/set settings from/on resource. [21:19] edfitz, although, /usr/bin should be in the path. [21:19] lulu: don't do this please [21:19] meoblast001, hold on [21:19] sethk: Do you know of a fairly step-by-step guide to recompiling a new kernel version in Ubuntu? (Without access to the internet on that computer would be a bonus) Although I've been using linux for a while, I've never done a kernel rebuild [21:19] todd_, maybe capturing screen video [21:19] hi [21:19] I typed sudo su and it prompted me for a password. [21:19] soulrider, don't do what? [21:19] keith-, does dvd::rip rip to iso? i thought it only transcoded to xvid and other such formats? [21:19] soundray, [21:19] Yes it works fine with Windows etc. it even turns on once booting but goes off after grub comes on (sethk) [21:19] edfitz: are you on ubuntu? [21:19] yes [21:19] how relauch an apps after its killed/end [21:19] eddfitz: dont use sudo su, mistake by me [21:19] ??? [21:19] or lunch a app each x secondes ??? [21:19] soothsayer, pelo, keith-: thanks! [21:19] DarkMageZ: it's been a while since i used it, but i thought it did [21:19] soundray, I confused the user [21:19] edubuntu [21:19] edfitz: you shouldn't use su at all on ubuntu. Type exit [21:19] join kubuntu [21:20] lulu: I see, sorry [21:20] oups [21:20] CubaCola, alt+f2 prog name [21:20] ok [21:20] Nirevus, you don't need net access once the kernel source is downloaded [21:20] edfitz: have you got a $ prompt now? [21:20] Pelo> how to make it automatiquely [21:20] yes [21:20] desktop:~$ [21:20] I do not know how to capture screen video, and the other tools mencoder, and ffmpeg do not seem to support swf, any other suggestions / more info? [21:20] edfitz: enter 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' [21:20] Nirevus, it's not difficult to do. I'm sure there are guides, but I don't have a URL. You can PM me if you like and I'll run through it with you.

[21:20] Yes it works fine with Windows etc. it even turns on once booting but goes off after grub comes on (soundray) [21:21] borland delphi is there a release for that in linux [21:21] delphi is prolog [21:21] Janvdl: try #delphi [21:21] or pascal [21:21] CubaCola, in gnome , menu > SYSTEM > pref > session , second tab I thnk , find the process , and change to reload or something similar, then save session [21:21] nomic, not that I know of, but there is support for the language. [21:21] that seems to be working [21:21] How do I convert a swf to an avi??? [21:21] remote_matrix: have other people reported a problem like that with your laptop model? tuxmobil.org is a good place to search for installation reports [21:21] haven't heard of that for years [21:22] no its for windows, but i tried all the other rooms and no-one replies. its probably just a simple solution. how to get the network and graphics card names? [21:22] I like this OS but need ot get use to it. [21:22] hello i just installed Edubuntu and there are not any close/maximize/minimize buttons in the window manager. I have nvidia drivers installed. [21:22] todd_, look at the link I just gave meoblast001 [21:22] learn to type too lol [21:22] I did search for it but lotsa people reported that the fan doesnt turn OFF... mine just doesnt turn ON (soundray) [21:22] edfitz: when it's done, do a 'sudo apt-get -f install' and repeat until the output doesn't change any more [21:22] remote_matrix, that's very odd. After booting, I can understand, but at the grub screen? Doesn't make much sense. [21:22] ok [21:22] ava, change the theme [21:22] Pelo to what, how? [21:22] like everyone edfits there is a learning curve [21:22] This should start the update again? [21:22] sethk yeah weird... where can I mess with fan settings (cpu) by any chance? [21:22] Janvdl: lspci [21:23] Pelo: I missed it, could you resend? [21:23] remote_matrix, there are sometimes settings in the BIOS. [21:23] ava, try different ones, I don't knwo what the theme manager in eubuntu is, try right clicking the desktop [21:23] Pelo: i doubt this will work but ill try it [21:23] sethk arent those settings overwritten by OS? [21:23] TigranG, what is that? thanks for the reply. [21:23] ava, you don't need to change the theme. Just configure the window manager and add the decorations. [21:23] todd_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=567016&highlight=convertit [21:23] remote_matrix: have you explored /proc/acpi/fan and /proc/acpi/thermal_zone ? [21:23] My sound seems to have stopped working. I believe it was after I installed a couple of updates. No settings have changed, but I no longer get sound (works fine in windows, though). I'm using the onboard sound from a nforce mobo. Any ideas? [21:23] Janvdl: Will give you the cards names that you want [21:23] later folks [21:23] Pelo, thats a front end for ffmpeg, isnt it??? [21:23] remote_matrix: what kind of computer did you say it was? [21:23] Janvdl: You want model name? That stuff right? [21:23] remote_matrix, not until the o/s boots. If you have a problem at the grub screen, the bios can change it. And, the o/s may assume that the fan is already on, and thus not try to turn it on. [21:23] soundray no how do i deal wit that? [21:23] ok, everything is select correctly.. but if I click test I get audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not get/set settings from/on resource. [21:24] todd_, it does the job you want [21:24] the graphics card, and network card. graphics: geforce 5200, network: marvell yukon 10/100 [21:24] keith its a pavilion dv1650 (hp) [21:24] pelo i don't think it is that. the scroll bars change, but the buttons don't appear. [21:24] remote_matrix, in other words, you can't be certain but it's easy to try so try it. [21:24] yes that stuff please. === different_realit is now known as differentreality [21:24] could it be because I am using the wrong nvidia driver? [21:24] Janvdl: Do lspci in a terminal [21:24] ava, look in the details of the theme, change the controls [21:24] Pelo: I will look, but man ffmpeg says it wolnt work [21:24] Pelo: the error is obviously performed when the file is first being made by the screencaster [21:24] ava, generally that's a configurable parameter that can be changed in the window manager configuration. [21:24] sethk wouldnt that make it to be ON all the time? instead of turning on after high thermal? [21:24] as mentionned later [21:24] remote_matrix: open a terminal, go to those directories with e.g. 'cd /proc/acpi', then type 'ls' to list the files and 'cat filename' to see their contents. [21:24] ava, it certainly has nothing to do with the nvidia driver [21:24] is there no other way? I'm really only an amateur. its like a hobby to me [21:25] remote_matrix, I'm thinking that the o/s believes it is on, and is thus waiting for the temperature to go down before turning it off. [21:25] todd_, I have used convert it to do the job you want , trust me [21:25] again, later folks [21:25] I need help with a network related problem. my Realtek wireless card makes me unable to boot up !! my system completely hangs !! [21:25] remote_matrix, which won't happen since it isn't really on. [21:25] soundray I did that [21:25] sethk what should i do? [21:25] I'm at desktop:~$ again. when it's done, do a 'sudo apt-get -f install' and repeat until the output doesn't change any more. correct? [21:25] Janvdl: System->Pref->Hardware Information [21:25] TigranG: I forgot to say, 'sudo -i' is a good alternative that gets you a clean root shell [21:26] edfitz: yes [21:26] TigranG, would that be in the registry? [21:26] soundray: Thanks. (and my bad for bad advice; still learning too) [21:26] edfitz: to save typing, get the previous command back with the arrow up key [21:26] remote_matrix, the correct place to look for acpi configuration is in /sys, not in /proc, although /proc legacy directories are maintained by many (but not all) programs [21:26] Can anyone here recommend a good place to find a small (~8.5") touch screen monitor at a good price? [21:26] remote_matrix: how quickly does it freeze up and what temperature is it hitting? [21:26] sethk ok im in /sys im pretty much a n00b in the matter any suggestions where to start? [21:27] Janvdl: Its a GUI that gives you all your hardware information, you should be able to find your network and video card brand/model there [21:27] remote_matrix, you haven't rebuilt the kernel, or anything of that sort that might have changed the kernel acpi capabilities? [21:27] Is there any modifications to the Ubuntu Loaf for High Altitude? [21:27] keith it freezes when I put the labtop on my lap and using with high usage for more than 15min [21:27] TigranG: np. I learned this particular bit in exactly the same way. [21:27] how many times will i need to do this?(about) [21:27] sethk no sir [21:27] Pelo: where does it put the files? [21:27] keith-: i found out that with ies4linux shockwave can install right from the homepage, ill give it a try [21:27] edfitz: not more than three times, hopefully [21:28] okay, thanks a lot TigranG. Have a good evening. [21:28] what should i check to have xp boot 1-st in menu.lst [21:28] Great! I really appreciate the help! [21:28] I was wondering, whats the code to get into nividia settings as root so it can save xconfig files? [21:28] cxoffice is a type of wine... so is ies4linux... but it will probably be buggy just the same [21:28] Janvdl: You too [21:28] are there any free software pi calculators I could use to study the source code? [21:28] remote_matrix, The oddest part of all this is that the fan turns off at the grub screen. Is that correct? Is the fan turning, and then turns off when the boot screen appears? [21:28] My sound seems to have stopped working. I believe it was after I installed a couple of updates. No settings appear to have changed, but I no longer get sound (works fine in windows, though). I'm using the onboard sound from a nforce mobo. Any ideas? [21:28] thank you. :) [21:28] evfan42: sudo nvidia-settings [21:28] r_: in a terminal, enter 'grep ^title /boot/grub/menu.lst | nl -v 0' to find out the number of your Windows entry in the grub menu. Got that? [21:29] remote_matrix, if you haven't already, get into the boot menu (as in press a key to get the boot menu) and see if the fan is really off in grub, or if it is actually turned off by the booted o/s. [21:29] sethk the fan turns on when i turn it on then turns on when grub screen comes on [21:29] How do I know when to stop? [21:29] hi, can i make in xchat to appear a list with all people in a room? i searched all the menus [21:29] Pelo: i was right.... the new file is unplayable [21:29] sethk i'll try that what should i do if that is the case/not ? [21:29] im in that menu list [21:29] atlef: thanks [21:29] edfitz: repeating the command gives you the same output as the previous time [21:29] but i dont get it whiw those numbers [21:29] remote_matrix, I'm not sure yet, we are just gathering more information. When you don't know what to do, gather more information. :) [21:30] sethk good point... [21:30] r_: you should see a numbered list of boot entries, correct? [21:30] simion314, it's on the right side if it's not there try ctrl+f7 [21:30] simion314, look at the right border, you'll see a bunch of dots in the middle; left click and drag [21:30] Pelo: I am getting... bash: convertit.gambas: command not found [21:30] it says "use 'apt-get autoremove to remove them. Should I do this? [21:31] Buonanotte a tutti, ragazzuoli. [21:31] sethk soundray keith, thanks guys im gonna reboot and set the default to always on then figure out what goes on later.... [21:31] yes xp is on 4 [21:31] edfitz: you can, and it makes for a cleaner system, but it's not strictly necessary. [21:31] edfitz, optional but recommended [21:31] Do I put sudo in front of it? [21:31] yes [21:31] and now what to di [21:31] do [21:32] cmd with sudo in front of it becomes: sudo cmd [21:32] i need help with accessing windows shares [21:32] edfitz: yes [21:32] they aren't showing up, but i know they're there and i know the IP for em [21:32] r_: 'gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst' [21:33] r_: find the line that says 'default 0' and change it to 'default 4' [21:33] Once this is done. Is the upgrade finished and I need ot reboot or do I need to get the upgrade started again? [21:33] r_: save, exit and reboot to test [21:33] edfitz: this should complete the upgrade. [21:33] I need to reboot [21:34] edfitz: I don't know, but it can't hurt [21:34] My sound seems to have stopped working. I believe it was after I installed a couple of updates. No settings appear to have changed, but I no longer get sound (works fine in windows, though). I'm using the onboard sound from a nforce mobo. Any ideas? [21:34] sorry to be a bother.. but did anyone see my response [21:34] ok, everything is select correctly.. but if I click test I get audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not get/set settings from/on resource. [21:34] I really appreciate your help. I am learning but don't get to play enough to quite understand everything. [21:35] i am upgrading, and it is asking me "replace the customized configuration file'/ect/sysctl.conf'?". Should I keep or replace? [21:35] edfitz, take it one step at a time. It isn't difficult but there are a lot of details and it takes time to get over the initial hump [21:35] edfitz: come back and ask whenever you have to. Sometimes you have to repeat your question to get an answer. Leave 10 minutes between repetitions. [21:35] BruceM91, did you make configuration changes that would change the sysctl configuration file? [21:36] BruceM91, In a case like this, back up the file, then say yes. [21:36] yea, to get sound and wireless to work, though it still doesnt [21:36] BruceM91, well, if the changes didn't work, you don't have much to lose by overwriting them :) [21:36] sethk: saying yes backs up the old file automatically with a .dpkg-old extension [21:36] so hit replace? [21:37] soundray, yes, provided you only install once. [21:37] hello [21:37] # array will desync and will not let you boot your system. [21:37] default 0 [21:37] How can I get accounting data for a CUPS (and samba) printer server in Gutsy? Thanks. [21:37] should i change this here [21:37] r_: yes [21:37] ok ill give a try thx a lot [21:37] sethk: you mean it won't update the backup? [21:38] soundray, right, if you do the install again, your backup will be overwritten by the file that replaced it on the first install. [21:39] Javajake: yes it did not work for me at all [21:39] I am trying to figure out how to updte the firmware of my mp3 player but the update is an .exe file, anyone have an idea of where to start looking to figure this out? [21:39] sethk: okay, I have been relying on that behaviour a number of times without checking :) Thanks [21:39] RazzoRz, OK, also, you probably need Compiz running [21:39] i have it running [21:39] i am sure of it [21:39] RazzoRz, last I checked xwinwrap only does its thing when Compiz or Beryl is going [21:39] captmorgan: you could try running it with wine [21:39] !wine | captmorgan [21:39] captmorgan: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [21:39] RazzoRz, OK, well, I'm not sure what to say then [21:40] ill give it a try, just thinking that if I mess the firmware up it might brick it [21:40] Beryl is working i have my cube.. like i said it works with my screen saver but not the video === curtis_ is now known as curtonic [21:40] hi, anyone know of a ubuntu derivate that runs openbox ? [21:40] anybody familiar with windows shares, i'm having troub;le accessing mine [21:40] proximo: sudo apt-get install openbox [21:40] captmorgan: if the program doesn't work with wine, it won't get to that stage. If it does, you're probably safe. [21:41] Hi, I have a zune, but almost all of my music is in a format it cant read, my video also. Is there a program that I can get that wil change the formats? [21:41] keith-: not an option since the computer is to slow to install ubuntu on [21:41] captmorgan: it may take some fiddling to make the player known to the program via the wine layer.

[21:47] Hi all, I have a rule in ccsm to not draw window borders around the gnome terminal. However, I'd like to have another terminal that *does* have window borders on it. Is there a way to treat this on a window by window basis? [21:47] noobiezilla: you download the source with apt-get, modify it, then compile a new package. [21:47] Yaz: by profiles? [21:47] is gOs really lightweight ? [21:47] noobiezilla: that's just a rough outline, it's fairly involved [21:47] Yaz: Not sure [21:48] TigranG: Profiles just seemt o control font and background color etc of the actual terminal... [21:48] hehe, thanks soundtray [21:48] proximo: ive read that it is light weight [21:48] Does anyone have problems with google desktop [21:48] no personal expierence [21:48] TigranG: I wonder if there's a way, like a keyboard shortcut, to pop window borders onto an individual window [21:48] Yaz: yea I'm not sure, just threw something out there, be patient and someone else may help you [21:49] It seems I cannot access certain sites due to DNS issues. I kill google desktop and everything returns to normal. [21:49] captmorgan: ok, so it seems their servers are, i get 13kb/s download [21:49] If i use the IP, i can, domain no [21:49] proximo: thats gotta be painfully slow, whats the package size 700mb? [21:50] wols: so how does one use this, the man page sucks... lol [21:50] yep [21:50] need help with dvdfab [21:50] anyone here with some initramfs-tool experience? [21:50] TigranG: No worries, I trust that someone will help. The Ubuntu community is one of the most amazing communities I've been a part of. [21:50] :) [21:51] there we go, another mirror and i got 1447 kb/s instead [21:51] wols: I'm getting "Video stream is mandatory!" when I do "mencoder five.swf -o five.avi" [21:51] Yaz: Have you tried asking in #compiz-fusion, they're more experts on that topic [21:52] schnittchen, yea. *shiver* [21:52] soundray: Wine was able to extract and install the installer, but when I try open the actual installer it just does nothing, any idea? [21:52] todd_: you can't convert an SWF, they're not video streams [21:52] javaJake: bad experience? ;-) [21:52] todd_: you can do FLVs tho [21:52] TigranG: I'll give them a shot, thanks man :) [21:52] schnittchen, I had to create my own initrd images, without the tool. :P [21:52] schnittchen, custom FireWire drivers. Oh yea. Fun [21:52] javaJake: because it did not fit your needs? [21:52] OK, let me ask my origional question again (for the 4th time)... How do I convert a SWF to an AVI? [21:53] actually i am just going to use my roomates laptop to do the firmware update [21:53] scguy318: so how do I covert a swf to a flv? [21:53] hello every body ! [21:53] schnittchen, well, I ddin't want it using any LiveCD junk - there's no real way to say "here's the Lniux install to use". :/ [21:53] javaJake: do you remember a good debugging trick for the tools? [21:53] todd_: try ffmpeg that thet's the other encode that can do swf to avi [21:54] todd_: use flash? [21:54] wow, there are to many people int this chan ! [21:54] antoinexp: then I must ask you to leave.. :) [21:54] wols: see man ffmpeg, it does not support swf [21:54] what is the current developpement status of the ubuntu mobile ? [21:54] anyone.. please.. [21:54] sammyf: how? [21:54] I'm needing to know how to install a 32bit application on a 64bit gutsy installation, does anyone know what I have to do in order to do this? [21:54] schnittchen, nope. My experience is fairly narrow for the automatic tools (as the tools are fairly narrow). :) [21:54] antoinexp: what is ubuntu ,obile.. like ubuntu on usb? [21:54] lol [21:55] Hi... can anyone help with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=608760 ? [21:55] Jack_Sparrow: no, a project to create an portable ubuntu for mobile device [21:55] todd_: don't have flash here, but basically you would need to import it. you might get better answers on a macromedia/adobe channel though [21:55] hello [21:55] I have a question [21:55] sammyf: how do I get to where I need to be? [21:56] can I use one swap partition for 2 OSs? [21:56] i need help with dvdfab platinum [21:56] todd_: no idea, but to speak with Bukaroo Banzai, "no matter where you go .. there you are" [21:56] todd_: though checking on the adobe website for an irc channel might be a start ;) [21:56] good bye ! i have to go ! [21:57] todd_: or just google up "flash adobe irc" [21:57] sammyf: ok, so you are saying there is no tool to do this conversion? [21:57] what load do you have? [21:57] schnittchen, I've used the tools, what do you need to know? [21:58] Kane77: by load do you mean bootloader? [21:58] todd_: no, because an SWF is not a movie file [21:58] todd_: swf/fla/flv are, as far as I know, proprietary formats, which is why I personally think they blow big time [21:58] still getting audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=music: Could not get/set settings from/on resource. [21:58] Aztec007, no load of cpu... [21:58] scguy: but it opens fine in totem, is that not a movie player??? [21:58] todd_: so there might be tools, but I don't think there are any FREE (as in beer) tools [21:58] Is it possible to tell what process is using my harddrive? I'm not doing anything special, and it's been spinning by itself for a bit now for apparently no reason. I don't have any backups scheduled either. [21:58] sethk: i have created my own script in local-premount and want it to use config vars, so i guess these go in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d [21:58] sammyF: ffmpeg is one [21:59] sammyf: did I say I was unwilling to pay???? lol [21:59] screw it.. I am going back to windows.. ubuntu needs real support [21:59] sammyF: and that's free as in beer/speech [21:59] mblind: well, what was your question? [21:59] scguy318: ffmpeg can convert swf to flv??? [21:59] todd_: nah .. just basic assumption ;) [21:59] sammyF: it can do flv to other propreitary formats I think [21:59] I'm having DNS issues whenever Google Desktop Search for Linux is running. [21:59] schnittchen, conf.d is a directory [21:59] sammyF: I must have misinterpreted your comment [21:59] scguy: ok how do I use ffmpeg to covert a swf to an avi? [22:00] scguy318: todd wants it the other way around [22:00] !dvd [22:00] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [22:00] sethk: but that does not seem to work, do you know how i can debug the scripts? echo's just fly by, and a debug boot option does not produce a /tmp/someting log file as the manpage promises [22:00] sammyf: thanks yes i do [22:00] my question was .. I am no longer getting audio.. I have a dell d 830 with sigmatel audio. I hear the drumroll when i boot I hear audio in amarok.. but no where else.. [22:00] sethk: i placed a file in conf.d with the same name and var=VALUE syntax (shell) [22:00] scguy318: decoding the flv and then sending the output to an encoder shouldn't be too much of a problem. encoding the flv on the other hand, might be more difficult [22:00] todd_, try ffmpeg -i file.swf file.avi [22:01] todd_: randon and probably useless thought, but the Medibuntu ffmpeg does do more codecs and such [22:01] schnittchen, ok. You can capture the output to a file, then look at the things you can't see flying past. At the end of the command line, say > ~/output-file 2>&1 [22:01] is there a working fix for the RTL8185 network issue? [22:01] aetos: I get "Error while opening codec for output stream #0.0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height" [22:01] sethk: but before / is properly mounted? [22:01] schnittchen, the first part directs standard out to ~/output-file, and 2>&1 says put standard error into the same file [22:02] !patience | mblind [22:02] mblind: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [22:02] schnittchen, I thought you were talking about creating the initramfs. Are you talking about what happens when the initramfs is used during boot? [22:02] mblind: and I still don't know your question [22:02] scguy318: you are correct though .. kdenlive does indeed export to flv (I guess using ffmpeg) [22:02] sethk: yes. sorry if i was unclear [22:03] scguy: already using medibuntu... I'm not stupid [22:03] Kane77: I believe its an AMD64 [22:03] todd_: cool then [22:03] ok, but no one can answer this question.. Not on forums.. Not on irc.. does anyone know any pay support.. I will try anything at this point [22:03] schnittchen, I don't know the details of your situation, but normally you want to do the absolute minimum possible from the initramfs file system, and that minimum should be to load modules needed to mount the file system, and then mount it, then continue the boot from the disk. [22:03] todd: how is medibuntu? [22:03] mblind: yep, there's pay support [22:03] linux sucks! [22:03] mblind: the Canonical site has info on that [22:04] great. [22:04] todd_, really? I never knew that. :) [22:04] maybe that is my best bet [22:04] mblind: well, what's the question god forbid? [22:04] sethk: i am setting up a crypto swap partition i can suspend2-resume from ;-) [22:04] mblind, you're not getting any audio anymore, right? [22:04] here is my question.. for the 3rd time [22:04] mblind: this channel is very busy with 1k+ people, so hard to listen [22:04] correct no audio [22:04] schnittchen, that's a bit more involved. :) [22:04] well, some audio [22:04] amorok.. yes [22:04] sethk: you want to do something ever so slightly out of the ordinary, and there is nothing... you are screwed [22:04] mblind: explain the nature of some audio [22:04] drumroll on boot yes. [22:04] sethk: it actually works, but currently i have the configuration inside the script, which is ugly, and i believe the conf.d should be just for that [22:04] [22:04] [22:05] [22:05] todd_, that's simply not true.

When I've done more complex things in an initramfs, I've simply created a .zshrc file and started a shell. [22:05] I am not getting the correct Resolution selections for my monitor. Is there a way to manually add them to the list [22:05] yes.. I have looked all thru it.. [22:05] sethk: convert a swf into something I can burn onto dvd (windows this is easy)!!! [22:06] mblind: this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller [22:06] but maybe I missed something [22:06] hi [22:06] mblind: it does discuss some workarounds if you're affected [22:06] todd_: will the windows program you use work in wine? [22:06] Brantis: yes google xorg.conf" [22:06] todd_: how would you do it in windows? [22:06] Brantis, yes. do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. When you get to the monitor configuration section, choose "medium" configuration level. You'll get a list of resolutions. [22:06] todd_: and did you try the same procedure in wine? [22:06] sethk: did you ever use a conf.d file? [22:06] can someone tell me how do I set the Cube in compiz, I've enabled the 'cube' plubin but it isn't as cool as the one seen on all those vids on youtube [22:06] Jack_Sparrow: nice one ;) [22:06] cool thanks again [22:06] My intek_HD_audio works [22:06] learning learning learning [22:07] Konam: join #compiz-fusion [22:07] says Gutsy has no sound out of the box.

[22:07] sammyf: open in windows movie player (not able to get the new version up in wine), and save as... thats it [22:07] schnittchen, no. According to the docs it should work the way you say, but I've never done it that way. [22:07] sethk: or can i produce some debug output that will later apper in dmesg? [22:07] todd_, you can do exactly the same thing. [22:07] is there a way to UNINSTALL alsa drivers and reinstall??? [22:07] todd_: uep .. wmp won't work in wine [22:07] sammyF: Sorry, I was on the phone and must have been leaning on the keyboard [22:07] Hi. Anyone get GRUB Error 18? [22:07] schnittchen, yes. You can also use syslog. Of course, it's in memory, as soon as the ramdisk goes away the log goes away with it. [22:07] I just installed Ubuntu...twice. [22:07] Jack_Sparrow: lol. happens [22:07] ok its telling me that it must run as Root [22:07] Hola [22:07] Rafabe, sure. let me look up what 18 means. [22:08] sethk: ok how do I install the latest Windows Movie Player in wine??? [22:08] aki no hablan español :P [22:08] Hi there, I'm having issues with df: I cant' see my root filesystem.

[22:08] todd_, you can't, ubuntu's media players can play everything themselves. [22:08] oks gacias [22:08] sethk: ok, i will try what i can do, thank you! [22:08] todd_, I didn't say to install a windows movie player. I said you can do the same thing with a movie player that runs in linux, start the movie, then save it. [22:08] todd_, "windows media player" is for *windows* [22:08] window 1 [22:08] I googled it and they said creating a boot partition at the beginning of the drive would fix it. I did just that, a 100mb FAT16 partition as \boot, then reinstalled Ubuntu, and no luck [22:08] running out of ciggies .. cya [22:08] LOL!!!! sethk, tryed dosent work === javaJake is now known as phpDude [22:09] Rafabe, unless your system is ancient, the number of cylinders shouldn't matter. Make sure your drive is configured for LBA mode in the BIOS. [22:09] it's pretty old, P3 1GHz...don't know what the mobo is. [22:09] mblind: not really, though you can install newer version [22:09] I already checked that. It's LBA. I tried all the other options (Normal, Large, Manual), same result. [22:09] i installed some firefox extensions and now it just crashes my gnome desktop, forcing a hard reboot [22:09] czesc [22:09] mblind: there's a guide to installation of an ALSA tarball on the wiki [22:09] I was testing out a friends system with ubuntu, the weird thing is the live cd for ubuntu is so slow. I've used live cd's in the past and know how responsive they typically are but something is definitely not right [22:09] how can i remove/disable them? === phpDude is now known as perlProfessor [22:09] Rafabe, lba is the only one you need. If lba is on, changing the others won't fix your problem. [22:09] !cz | x_ [22:09] x_: České uživatele žádáme, aby mluvili v kanále #ubuntu anglicky. Česky je možno se domluvit v #ubuntu-cz.

[22:10] ubuntu__: Try the altinstall cd? [22:10] ok [22:10] what does "Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device." mean? [22:10] anyone know what could cause ubuntu livecd to be extremely slow whereas the kubuntu live cd is fine? [22:10] can someone tell me how to convert a swf to an avi? [22:10] meoblast001: means you have to tell mplayer a video driver [22:11] todd_: mencoder perhaps [22:11] Rafabe, How big is the drive? [22:11] i cant browse the web right now, firefox crashes my computer, and reinstalling and purging isnt working [22:11] david_J: oh... i thought it could explain why all video files encoded on my system cannot be opened === javaJake is now known as PFA_ === PFA_ is now known as javaJake [22:11] can someone tell me how to convert a swf to an avi (I have tryed lots of things, ffmpeg, mencoder, etc...)? [22:11] 160GB...2 partitions, one primary 70gb one, and another 90gb one for storage. Both were NTFS. I deleted the primary partition, turned it into a 100mb boot partition + 1gb swap + 69gb Ext3.

[22:11] bluefoxx: did you install flash and java on that box.. and if you did.. how did you do it [22:12] meoblast001, try it with sudo; if it starts to work, it's a permissions problem [22:12] i checked top while in ubuntu live cd and nothing was taking an unusual amount of cpu [22:12] mblind: if you feel that you need to use Windows for your functionality, that's perfectly acceptable, you're not exactly getting paid to use ubuntu or anything :P [22:12] yes flash and java are on this box [22:12] seth, can you msg me? I'm having a hard time keeping up wit hthis channel [22:12] Can anyone help me here with udev? It seems ot have buggered up my mtab, so I cant' see my root filesystem [22:12] todd_, googling for "convert swf to avi linux" came up with http://help.lockergnome.com/linux/convert-SWF-AVI-format-ftopict396093.html [22:12] david_J: i810 intel integrated graphics chipsets [22:13] PriceChild: thanks [22:13] Moof: What do you mean: You cant see your root FS? Can you boot? [22:13] meoblast001: same as mine ... try with a -vo xv option from the commandline.. [22:13] bluefoxx: and the answer to the rest of my question is..?

[22:17] hape: it looks like the startup scripts haven't done somethig correctly before loading udev [22:17] mattgyver83: not totally sure what the error is, but you could start by removing ~/.wine and performing a fresh install [22:17] in totem see if there are file properties to find the file's audio/video codecs [22:17] or is it an animation? [22:18] my /etc/fstab is empty [22:18] Hey, I can't remember if it's gentoo, or debian/ubuntu that has pre-compiled kernels. Is it ubuntu?

[22:21] bluefoxx: have you tried running firefox from a cli to see if you can catch the error [22:21] awesome, thank you url14345 and david_J. [22:21] scguy318: what in particular is bad? [22:21] mnemonica: np [22:21] david_J: hmmmm xvidcaps was able to get it to play........ once [22:21] silent: did you mean me? [22:21] then it stoped working [22:21] which filesystem should I use for a boot partition? It won't let be use FAT16... [22:22] Hmm... does anyone know if binary kernels exist for ubuntu? [22:22] bluefox83, rename the folder firefox's extensions ? [22:22] Jack_Sparrow: i could try that...but how? [22:22] probably [22:22] Moof: you know the partition your rootfs in on ? [22:22] aetos: ill try that one, thanks [22:22] hape: /dev/sda [22:22] bluefoxx, the max number of computers a person should have is 3. One desktop, One laptop, One server [22:22] first question in here, hopefully its not a bad one: I am needing to delete all files off an SD card. Ubuntu is seeing perfectly fine, but mounting it as read only. How would I change that?

[22:48] So i am prepareing to set-up ubuntu (non-ppc) server...i think 6.06. The purpose is to setup an real time streaming server (rtss) and also to manage all files on one location. So i need the server kinda like this if i am describing it correctly. Part of the server access the internet for RTSS purposes. The other part is for students at a school to login to. The room has 5-7 workstations with 3 computers at each. each computer has to be able to log in to [22:48] their work station. (for example if 3 of us are @ workstation 3 we each need to be able to access the server with the same users & passwords). Also there are programs (like Garage Band or final cut) that need to be accessed per workstation but they are mac specific. so how do I handle that as well. Please give me the full setup (eg what to install how to do it) and what equipment is recomended. [22:48] PS the box was originally WIN2k but now contains formated blank hard drive. Also has network card pre-installed. I promise to follow each direction carefully. [22:48] ubuntu sucks :\ [22:48] also need a GUI (perferably Kubuntu GUI) just to set thing easy. [22:48] nah vim sucks takes a lot to get used to lol [22:48] well ubuntu server is all command line, you know right [22:48] sup peeps [22:48] * genii sips a coffee [22:48] i know...but i was told i can get a GUI if i really need it [22:48] david_J, don't be stupid [22:49] iceman_, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ?

[22:50] hmm [22:50] suttin: xrog probably does not show the right config or you are not using the restricted driver for your card.. also note.. remember to setup the monitor as well [22:50] why i can't install :S ? [22:50] eido: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [22:50] eido: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

[22:50] the default one with gnome doesn't seem to work for this particular cd [22:50] talcite_, dd [22:50] asddd: turn off the other program manager [22:50] once you have the server installed, and verify the up connection, you can do the updates then install the desktop. i found it much easier to install ubuntu desktop and then load the server tool i need] [22:50] K_Dallas: thanks [22:50] talcite_: talcite_ k3b [22:50] mp [22:51] linux keylogger -> http://sourceforge.net/projects/lkl/ [22:51] Jack_Sparrow: what program menager ?

[22:51] the commands are the same as in terminal in a gui. you use sudo to load the program from the repos, then run [22:52] suttin: please post your xorg to the pastebin... not in the channel.. and provide a link for the people here in channel [22:52] talcite_: but k3b would probably be easier... [22:52] Hi [22:52] david_J: wouldn't you need to know how to encode into JFS? [22:52] talcite_: you can do it with dd from command line... [22:52] What is pastebin jack? [22:53] !paste [22:53] 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) [22:53] what i do, is i have a desktop install nearby, search the repos, then i go to the server unit once i know the name of the entry [22:53] talcite_: why? all you need to do is put your music in a directory not to exceed the cdrom space, and use mkisofs [22:53] I have a hfs+ partition mounted in 7.10 and was wondering if there is a way to turn off journalizing from within linux? [22:53] Jack_Sparrow: is dd in the repos?

[22:56] just not without [22:56] it will hang a little geroge [22:56] talcite_: nvm... why didn't ya say so?

[23:00] PyroMyrmidon: You could use even 8 gigs if you wanted. It just depends on what you plan to save [23:00] ice, IMHO, i read what you are trying to do. Ubuntu server in a partially mac environment is shaky at best. i did this a while back. If i were you, and you wanted to stick with debian, i would download debian 4.0 and let it use the text based installer, which also has a entry to add a gui during install. [23:00] PyroMyrmidon: are you trying to run another os as well or just ubuntu? [23:00] my partition is 6.7 gb [23:00] used 3.3 gb [23:00] without a bootdisc, xp or linux I get a black screen right after post [23:00] PyroMyrmidon: the OS itself takes about 2 gigs I believe... [23:00] if just ub.. then use the whole thing [23:00] I'm just considering it. And I have to leave XP on here, since it's not my PC. [23:00] it's what happens when you have 60 gb hd lol [23:00] with a disc in it works fine [23:01] PyroMyrmidon: I'd say it might be hard to do since XP needs atleast 10 =/ [23:01] yeah, probably.

[23:29] hmmm [23:29] Pelo: lol, well, QTParted seems to work fine, if you don't mind installing KDE libs. [23:29] thats what i ended up doing. [23:29] weltochzi, check in synaptic , search for blocking [23:29] gnea: i know something about apt etc thanks to debian [23:29] maybe [23:30] Pelo: ok, thanks [23:30] AprilHare: :) [23:30] * Pelo ponders , windows or kde , hard choice [23:30] Gnea, what does the line look like? [23:30] Pelo: i'd have to go back to Gates...lol [23:30] /ignore bruenig [23:30] is there any divx pack for ubuntu like k-lite ?

Is there an easy way to find out what is using it. I seem to have an infinite number of windows open!!!! [23:31] i'm getting broken video playback when compiz is enabled. using the radeon drivers from the ati site. what might be the problem? [23:31] steve_b, use the live cd [23:31] weltochzi I will try [23:31] gnea: ok still got the md5 mismatch thing [23:31] Pelo: I really enjoy wobbly windows :) don't know what does that yet [23:31] Pelo why? [23:31] AprilHare: can you pastebin it? [23:31] !pastebin | AprilHare [23:31] when I request a free ubuntu cd, it really isn't any charges at all right? [23:31] AprilHare: 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) [23:31] steve_b, use the live cd if you have it it will save you a headache. [23:32] tommy: yeah, it just takes a long time :) [23:32] Could someone please be so kind as to tell me when edit the boot ini, as to watch partion to link it too? The extended, the native or swap? [23:32] Gnea, pastebin what exactly? [23:32] AprilHare, the flashplugin-nonfree package is no more than an installation script, if adobe has updated or changed the flash tarball at all from before, the install script will fail, probably should just get the tarball from macromedia itself and install it [23:32] okey; ) hehe [23:32] weltochzi, you missed the first part of the discussion on this, I was overreacting to a bug in a gnome app, I have no intendtion of gong back to windows or using kde [23:32] bruenig, that's what i did :) [23:32] anyone knows of an iweb replacement for linux? [23:32] Pelo: oic [23:32] * IndyGunFreak would learn CLI before going back to Windows permanently [23:33] Yaz: Did you get it?

I think I need to quit bitchx becasue I ran it from the drive I am trying to unmount! [23:33] Joachim_Joe, can you try that again, I have no idea waht you just asked [23:33] AprilHare: the entire thing - from where you type sudo apt-get install .. to where the prompt appears again [23:33] Pelo: thankz [23:33] Nope... [23:33] AprilHare: is that n00b pestering you? :) [23:33] aguitel, no prob [23:33] !noob | Gnea [23:33] Gnea: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [23:34] awww [23:34] ... i need to make a website and last time i wrote html was 5 years ago [23:34] anyone knows of an iweb for linux? [23:34] AprilHare: are you using 64-bit ubuntu? [23:34] i'm getting broken video playback when compiz is enabled. using the radeon drivers from the ati site. what might be the problem? [23:34] Pelo, I have Ubunto on the side of Vista on my notebook. I use this boot manager to setup the booth entries. I told it load grub, as second choice, but I am not sure what partion to link GRUB. [23:34] what is jfgi? [23:34] whta: what's broken? [23:34] joules, you can save in html from OOo , if you just need a quick page [23:35] silent, just google it [23:35] Pelo: hint about the name of the app or bug? :) doing a search on the logs [23:35] Pelo - gparted is partition magic for linux! === jussiava is now known as _cheerios [23:35] Gnea, n00b? where? *loads shotgun* [23:35] kids and their acronyms these days [23:35] kitofhawaii, no 32 bit [23:35] AprilHare: wait - we shouldn't speak of such things in public lol [23:35] steve_b: it doesn't work very well in Gutsy... best to download the Gparted Live CD [23:35] where's the directory /debian/patches in Ubuntu? [23:35] Pelo: but i need .. like a nice website with all the fancy stuff [23:35] bruenig, I jfgi, I understand now [23:35] Gnea, true, it makes the hunt harder... ahem. sorry. joking :D [23:35] Joachim_Joe, grub has stage one on your boot sector and it points to stage two which is in the /boot/grub folder of your ubuntu partiton [23:35] kitofhawaii: basically, whenver i run any kind of video (from any application) that's not flash video like youtube or something, there's a black overlay. resizing the window gives me glimpses of the video, but the black stays over it. it works when compiz is off and i still have sound [23:36] I have an Nvidia Geforce4 MX card. I upgraded from 6.10 to 7.10 yesterday (using xubuntu for the record). I'm now having problems with opengl. [23:36] kitofhawaii: Thank you for that site, I can now get compiz running. It didn't fix my problem though [23:36] AprilHare: aprilhare: adobe released a new flash player, the ubuntu repo's md5 hash doesn't work right now (open bug) [23:36] AprilHare: he never knows what he's talking about - always gives false information... could be a bot [23:36] IndyGunFreak it seems to have worked for me :-p [23:36] sakura: did you remove xgl? [23:36] joules, not in my league, I don't think there is a wisiwig html editor for linux, the losest I know is nvu [23:36] When I try to run a pyopengl app, it crashes with an out of memory error on the call to glClear [23:36] When I try to run a game such as neverball, it runs but everything is very dark. [23:36] steve_b: its wierd, it works for some, not for others.. for me, works on 1 laptop, doesnm't work on my PC and my other laptop. [23:36] AprilHare: anyway, did you get the pastebin? [23:36] whta: did you enable overlay support in your xorg.conf? [23:36] kitofhawaii, yeah I have told him, Gnea keeps leading him astray unfortunately [23:36] * AprilHare eyes gnea suspiciously for signs of bot-like behavious [23:36] afk [23:36] I also tried the nvidia-glx-legacy driver, but it did not seem to work either, though I can try it again. [23:36] I blacklisted fglrx [23:36] behaviour even [23:37] * Gnea has never led anyone astray in this or any other channel on freenode. [23:37] What do you think I can do to get things running? [23:37] "other" [23:37] hang on [23:37] sakura: "sudo apt-get remove xserver-xgl" [23:37] !nvidia | mikedoty3 [23:37] mikedoty3: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:37] bruenig: you got a webpage? [23:37] Gnea, if you aren't explaining to him that he needs to remove the flashplugin package then you are leading him astray, the install script will continue to md5 mismatch until it is fixed [23:37] gnea, kinda quick question. there are to accounts, the root and a regular usr that i have. my problem is 1 the root can login from another account to run things like adept and 2 kmix wont work properly and is muted on the non root account [23:37] Gnea, so he needs to get it from adobe [23:38] Alright, I'll take a gander at that. [23:38] bruenig: you obviously don't keep up on things, just back off and help someone else. [23:38] Is the flashplugin-nonfree package problem fixed now? [23:38] Odd-rationale, no [23:38] Pelo: thanks anyway [23:38] bruenig: OK To bad... [23:39] Odd-rationale, well to be fair, 1189 people say no it hasn't, but Gnea thinks it has, so keep both sides represented in my answer [23:39] whta: whta: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide review that site to make sure you didn't miss anything (includes section on overlay) [23:39] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47477/ [23:39] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=552262 [23:39] i rest my case.

[23:39] It worked perfectly [23:40] whos gnea never seen him/her around here before [23:40] * AprilHare picks up the six pack of grog and thanks gnea [23:40] Odd-rationale, I have no idea, until then you can get it from adobe, we can help you get it installed here [23:40] Pirate_Hunter, probably dugh judging from the link [23:40] bruenig: OK Thanks! [23:40] hi === rencore_ is now known as ninety-nine [23:41] ok then, how do i make apt forget the niceties of md5? :) [23:41] AprilHare: looking...

[23:41] AprilHare, you will need to get the deb, extract it, edit the script inside of it and then put it back together [23:41] kitofhawaii: thanks, what i was looking for :) [23:41] the Lord said, let there be man, and there was man, and he saw it held help [23:41] anyone else have trouble with the 64-bit live CD? [23:42] T70K5: did you boot to windows for the first time and that happened? [23:42] can anyone help me with the following error:E: The package limewire-basic needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. [23:42] E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report., and when I try to install Limewire manually it says:it cant open it it may be corrupt or i am not allowed to access it but i know it is not corrupt and that i can access it [23:42] kitofhawaii: oh wait, broken link. [23:42] Fourmyle: wel,l do you have a 64bit PC?..

[23:42] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/g+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/173890 [23:42] yes. AMD64 x2 [23:42] Gnea, your forum link was funny, is this what I am meant to have said that was so vicious? " ubuntu gets the most hits per day, that is not a measurement of popularity" [23:42] Gnea: maybe i mistyped (hopefully i didn't mispaste :) ) [23:43] luke403: limewire on linux? you mean frostwire [23:43] kitofhawaii: nope, that's broken too [23:43] derekloe: have you unmounted the iso? [23:43] bruenig: again, go help someone else, i'll figure it out. [23:43] Pirate_Hunter: there's a version of limewire available to. [23:43] Gnea, your amusing [23:43] you know, i might be happier in the interim using my kludge until that bug is fixed [23:43] Hi, how do I make file roller read RAR files? [23:43] IndyGunFreak: but it must be run through wine? [23:43] soothsayer, the iso was in my /home/user directory so i'm not really sure how to umount it. [23:43] Pirate_Hunter: negative, there's a linux version [23:44] ubuntu still installs plugins in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins right? [23:44] Gnea: interesting...well, the link works here...dunno what to say after that :) "new flash plugin codename moviestar available, no ubuntu package currently" is the gist [23:44] i have a bet that i will see a dumb question in 5 minuts so dont dissapont me fallas !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [23:45] IndyGunFreak: oh didnt know that whats the difference [23:45] IndyGunFreak: Im sure both use the same network [23:45] Trip: are you allowed to call for dumb questions or not according to bet conditions? [23:45] --reinstall --force-yes :D [23:45] Pirate_Hunter: yeah, they ddo, i *believe*... Frostwire is "free"(as in thought).., where as Limewire is not.

For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression.

[23:52] kitofhawaii, what is the effect on lag and the effect on speed? [23:52] funny thing is i got it working on anotherone without a hitch [23:52] theremper: yes.. but you can install it on Gnome, it will just require a crapload of KDE libs. [23:52] hikenboot, reconfigure x sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [23:52] really? [23:52] theremper: yeah why can't you? apt will install everything...

[23:56] I am having issues with games (windowed or not) - the mouse pointer disappears! How can I troubleshoot this? [23:57] theremper: no, it won't... like i said, it will install a bunch of KDE libs the first time yhou install a kDE app, then after that, you shouldn't need to install them again [23:57] ok, where can i find it? [23:57] T70K5, select the root line and hit e for edit , change the root (hd*,*) to the right address for your ubuntu partition, in grub (hdA,B) means A for the drive , B for the partiton, the numbering starts with 0 , after you are done, hit enter to accept and B to boot that menu entry, the change isn't permannet, you'll need to edig /boot/grub/menu.lst once you booted the os [23:57] penguin42: prolly a hal or udev issue.... === monkey_ is now known as shinobi2 [23:57] theremper, the applications will not properly integrate with your theme, and you might have some extra libraries...other than that it should work well. I used kTorrent in Gnome. [23:57] david_j:ubunto does not boot on my notebook(acpi), so i filed a bug on kernel.org, the guy from ibm then sent a patch for me to try [23:57] Pelo: he can't get to the menu [23:57] kitofhawaii, max speed i have seen is ~17 KB/s [23:57] error: linux/config.h: No such file or directory [23:57] T70K5: google supergrub [23:57] What the fuck do I do now [23:57] david_J: Yeh I reckon so - any ideas where to look? [23:57] T70K5: I don't know the exact website...it's a long url [23:57] !swearing | zzt32 [23:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about swearing - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:57] ok, one second [23:57] ok and it says amarok is for audio im looking for a player that can do both audio and video and auto update library [23:57] kitofhawaii, wvdial/ifup sets it by default at 3. [23:57] theremper: on my Gnome Installs, I use kde apps Amarok for my Ipod, Ktorrent, and used to use Kopete [23:57] Pirate_Hunter, compiling a kernel isn't for everyone but it is someting the more hardcore user should try at least once I expect [23:57] What's the command to restart my window manager? [23:58] adamonline45, what is your window manager [23:58] adamonline45: control-alt-backspace ? [23:58] T70K5, if you need to speak to me, or anyone else, please use out nick in each line so we know , it's a busy channel [23:58] cool. ubuntu gets better and better every day [23:58] penguin42: google if your devices are right in the fstab.. Ubuntu uses UIIDS, so I'd make sure the fstab is right [23:58] ctrl+alt+backspace restarts x not just the window manager [23:58] bruenig: KDE... [23:58] david_J: It's actually mounted them all OK [23:58] ok. installed. haven't bothered to remove the package given it may be updated later and then will take over managing the plugin [23:58] Pelo: well will do so once i get another hd it should be fun but not on the main hd [23:58] zzats, that's to restart the whole xorg server [23:58] adamonline45, so then the window manager is "kwin" iirc [23:58] Ashfire908: eh for dialup hmm yah i can't really think of much that'd improve lag [23:58] radio_gaga42: but just a cdrom device as device mapper? [23:59] i find chatting here difficult due to my Australian English which allows for some words that are considered swearing in other forms of english :) [23:59] bruenig: zzt32: No, that's the keyboard shortcut... My keyboard occasionally stops responding, so I'd like to create a shortcut so I can restart my WM using the mouse [23:59] kitofhawaii, ok then [23:59] david_j: don't understand anything [23:59] Ashfire908: (assuming it's dialup, or is it DSL?) [23:59] Pirate_Hunter, you can compile it to a seperate partition, in any case it is a good idea to have your /home folder on a sepreate partition anyway, that way you can reinstall the os as much as you like and keep your data and settings [23:59] does amarok support video [23:59] AprilHare: like which ones? [23:59] I have a hfs+ partition mounted but it comes up as read only how can i make it read/write i have already tried chmod [23:59] adamonline45, ok so you want to restart x not your window manager?
