[00:00] I have a question--I installed awn..saved it in my session..and now I can't boot back into Gnome in my regular ID..what do I need to do [00:00] for tragic reasons (hdd failure), i'm using ubuntu live usb to keep up with email. Is there a way to prevent myself from losing my settings every reboot -or- a way to restore them? [00:00] mindy go to a pastebin and paste the text in the /var/log/X0rg.0.log file [00:00] mindy: or you can just upload it from the page at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [00:00] kling0n: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48014/ [00:00] I want to watch mpg at full screen what is the best aplication to be able to do this from online? [00:01] klng0n: I think... [00:01] I have question about the 64 bit and the 32 bit version of ubuntu. [00:01] any one [00:01] huss_: ps x|grep avant-window-manager check if its even running) [00:01] TCHP: eh? [00:01] chapium: I think the knoppix distro has a usb pendrive solution that fits the bill [00:01] jensiendied: I have a question--I installed awn..saved it in my session..and now I can't boot back into Gnome in my regular ID..what do I need to do [00:01] huss_: erm [00:01] huss_: avant-window-navigator [00:01] hello guys? [00:01] kling0n: i already have the drive setup [00:02] lds you could remove the session from your $HOME/.gconfd/saved_state [00:02] Klingon: cool..thanks.. [00:02] has the flash plug in been fixed yet? [00:02] chapium: what is the problem then? [00:02] Bryan: I guess the topic will change then. [00:02] exit [00:03] kling0n: particularly, i'd like to just retain some common settings like gnome desktop configuration, firefox settings, and pidgin. I can figure out firefox and pidgin, but i'm not sure which hidden files i need to save (ala email to self) to keep gnome happy [00:03] is it my turn yet? [00:03] thank you all for my help [00:03] your help* [00:03] hehe, very tired [00:03] hehe [00:03] chapium: if nothing else, you could softlink your $HOME/.gnome2 and $HOME/.gnome2_private to the appropriate directories on the usb drive [00:03] !ask | Avt [00:03] Avt: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) === bjbummer is now known as bjbum [00:03] * anne_ goes to bed [00:03] anne can you help me [00:03] jensendied, how to know that it is working? i typed the 2 orders [00:03] yeah? avt [00:03] chapium: provided you have the space for it of course [00:03] quickly [00:03] help to self help. :) [00:03] i´ve got to run [00:03] phibxr, :x sorry. okay, thanks for the answer [00:03] ah, ive got one more question [00:04] chapium: that would mirror all the fetched email too [00:04] anne_: yes?

[00:05] jensendied, you still there !! [00:05] did you guys see my ? [00:05] Saskel: Webpages aren't OS dependant. [00:05] huss_: the first one i typo'd `ps -x |grep avant` is what we basically wanted. [00:05] Avt: sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer [00:06] hey guys i need some desperate help. how do i reinstall i guess screens and graphics? basicaly every time i select it it does not open, and my screen size is totally buggered! it happened while trying to connect an lcd monitor as secondary. but, whatever, ill do tht later, i just need to resize my desktop! [00:06] k thx [00:06] zgmf-x20a: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:06] zgmf-x20a: I believe that's what you're after. [00:06] kling0n: were you able to view my pastebin url ? [00:06] Soskel: define "works on ubuntu" please [00:06] zgmf-x20a: It'll restore your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to the default. [00:07] mindy: hang on [00:07] kling0n: runs on ubuntu without error [00:07] I think it's a pretty straight forward request [00:07] jensendied, I had this massage "Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html [00:07] 9545 pts/0 R+ 0:00 grep avant" [00:07] kling0n: sorry...no rush. "nv" driver okay for now. [00:08] mindy: try sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [00:08] mindy: more info here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [00:08] huss_: well, if thats the only result then its not running right now, run `avant-window-navigator` in a terminal (you dont need the backticks, thats just to seperate the command) [00:09] Personally, I prefer to simply install Envy. I've spent too much time trying to manually install the driver. [00:09] kling0n seems the same thing is happening should I uninstall a plugin? [00:09] kling0n: it may help to mention that I'm running the 2.6.17-11 image...not 2.6.22 [00:09] Soskel: the webpage renders just fine with firefox for me :) [00:09] ok I got an answer I was looking for from the faq... [00:09] When is ubuntu going to release 2.6.24 kernel with cfs? [00:09] Avt: check about:plugins in firefox to see which plugins you've got [00:09] loke: cool thank you ill give that a try! :) [00:09] zgmf-x20a: Not a problem. [00:09] Avt: I personally removed other media player plugins on my installation in order to use mplayer [00:09] but then last time I had ubuntu I had a very hard problem running my raid HD [00:10] Avt: although i'm sure there's a neater way of ndoing it, that seems to work for me :) [00:10] is that any better now in 7.10 [00:10] jensendied, I did and that was the result "avant-window-navigator [00:10] Error: Screen isn't composited. Please run compiz (-fusion) or another compositi" [00:10] huss_: You'll need compiz or xcompmgr in order for awn to display properly. [00:10] mindy: another alternative would be to remove all nvidia related packages and build it by running the install script directly from nvidia's home apge [00:10] page [00:11] sorry but i gtg [00:11] huss_: ic, seems like you either need to change WM's or possibly X settings [00:11] Could someone please see if the application from http://imageprocessinglab.com works in ubuntu? [00:11] Soskel: Several people have confirmed that it functions. [00:11] hey, i was wondering if any of you know any way to make the volume control in gnome control more than one source at once (ie control the master and the headphone at the same time) [00:11] kling0n: i'm cool with that, but won't i need sources for 2.6.17-11 installed on my Gutsy? [00:12] iam using virtual box to run winxp . how to share files and folders in win xp? it only shows c: . (in linux virtual box tells me to use "net use x:\\vboxsvr\shareedfoldername" ) didnt got it. [00:12] loke: I am not asking if the web page loads fine [00:12] mindy: Why not use the latest kernel? [00:12] soooooo what should I do guys plz I don't know [00:12] loke: it won't boot with my USB keyboard connected...not sure why. Hangs at io scheduler [00:12] mindy: Interesting. I would certainly look into "Envy". [00:12] loke: Envy ? [00:12] mindy: It's an automatic installer for the nvidia drivers. [00:13] hmmm... [00:13] what do I need to install to get the Add/Remove thing? [00:13] loke: thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try. [00:13] huss_: glxinfo |grep rendering [00:13] kling0n heres the pic http://img143.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotaboutpluginsmxf0.jpg [00:13] mindy: Quite welcome. There should be a guide on the ubuntuforums. [00:13] Avt: I believe Klingon left. [00:13] loke can you help me? [00:14] is there some particular reason while, under windows, I get 54 Mbps and under ubuntu I get around 24? I have broadcom 43xx on a dell inspiron 1520. I'm using the restricted drivers. [00:14] Avt: It's unlikely. I'm tending to simple questions as I'm pre-occupied. [00:14] jensenDied: it is "direct rendering : Yes" [00:14] mindy: yup, if you compile it you will need the headers [00:14] who can help me? [00:14] Kling0n! :D [00:14] * Pelo mutters something about not getting paid enough for this and punches in [00:15] Avt: you might want to remove the totem mozilla plugin [00:15] ook ty [00:15] kling0n: Don't forget to mention the mod he/she'll need to make in order to not have to re-install the drivers after every reboot. [00:15] Soskel: running the app with mono iplab.exe gives me a crash [00:15] Hello all, I was curious to know if there was a good resource for pre-configured themes, I cannot seem to figure out how to customize my task bar color to resemble my window color scheme. Thank you in advance for any assistance. [00:15] kling0n: can i apt-get those? [00:15] jensenDied: it is "direct rendering : Yes" is that good or not ?

[00:17] mindy: i'd suggest putting some effort into getting ti working with packages first [00:17] Voyage__, I think you'll havwe to ask in the #vbox channel [00:17] mindy: there are a number of issue in connection with running your own build inclusing having to rebuild the module each time you upgrade kernel === etotheipi is now known as _etotheip [00:17] huss_: looks like you want to follow this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/InstallingCompiz [00:17] mindy: have you done a sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new ? [00:17] Avt, try a different site or file, some just don't work well, specialy some versions of wmv [00:18] o [00:18] kling0n: yea..it's downloading the 2.6.22 kernel image at the moment [00:18] mindy: btw disabling usb keyboard/mouse in your bios might remove your boot issue :) [00:19] jensenDied: thanks so much I hope it works [00:19] evanotten, on www.gnome-look.org , you will see themes and theme parts, and other eyecandy stuff, you get categories on left hand side of the webiste, emerald themes is what you want for compiz-fusion [00:19] awesome thank you [00:19] * Pelo is awesome [00:19] * Pelo must be in the wrong channel [00:19] What do I need install to have the Add/Remove application thing? e.g. did minimum install and don't have it by default. [00:20] is there some particular reason while, under windows, I get 54 Mbps and under ubuntu I get around 24? I have broadcom 43xx on a dell inspiron 1520. I'm using the restricted drivers. [00:20] I want something that just works period.... [00:20] Odd-rationale, do you have a gui at all ? [00:20] Bryan: What are you using to test your Internet connection? [00:20] mindy: I'm going to go to sleep pretty soon... please focus on getting the precompiled modules to work for you first unless you are comfortable compiling and disabling specific modules from the modprobe sequence [00:20] loke, the "connection information" button lol [00:20] Pelo: Yes. I aslo have synaptic. just want the add/remove thing. [00:20] Avt, did you install mplayer-mozilla and remove mozilla-totem ? [00:20] loke, but i've also used speedtest.net and I get different speeds there too. [00:20] Bryan: Compare your speeds by using an online tool, such as speedtest.net [00:21] Ah. [00:21] and I mean different by like 5 mb/s [00:21] hello [00:21] Odd-rationale, look in menu > system > prefs> main menu , maybe you just need to check the box to see the menu item [00:21] hello yavuz_ [00:21] at first I thought It was because I was on the campus wifi, but then I went home over thanksgiving break and it was still maxing out around 24 [00:21] will i need to install an app like wine to run yahoo messenger on? [00:21] * kling0n goes to bed now [00:21] cyas [00:22] Pelo: I don't have the gnome DE I have fluxbox. [00:22] evanotten: There are linux alternatives. [00:22] Bryan: Sorry, not sure how to help you from there. [00:22] hmm [00:22] evanotten: Look into "Pidgin" (formerly GAIM) [00:22] well, is there anyway to update the restricted drivers? [00:22] Odd-rationale, add/remove is a gnome thing, yo can always try with , sudo apt-get install gnome-app-install maybe that will install the package you need to have it [00:22] ok will do thanks again sorry to bother you guys [00:22] or to check if there is an update for the restricted drivers [00:22] only english [00:23] another langues [00:23] Bryan: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -- in the terminal to get the official updates. [00:23] evanotten, no bother this is what we come here for, we like showing off our knowledge of ubuntu [00:23] Pelo: OK I'll try. Xubuntu has it by defualt, though. [00:23] yavuz_, what is your native language ? [00:23] its much appreciated [00:23] is there a wild card cmd to look for a folder on your drive not knowing the full path? [00:23] loke, so that gets the restricted driver updates as well? [00:23] turkey [00:23] is there some software to linux thta show the bitrates of the mp3 and this information? ... in nautilus ... ou something ... to list ... [00:24] Odd-rationale, xubuntu runs some gnome items to compasate for xcfe's uther lightness [00:24] Bryan: If you have the universe repository uncommented, then it should.

[00:24] Odd-rationale: since it's just ANOTHER front end for apt-get (like synaptic) and fluxbox is meant to be minimal it makes sense that it doesn't install it by default [00:24] ok I am very new to linux and I have NO clue how to install any program and I've been pulling my hair out for an hour trying to install java. Can't you simply double click to install something?!? [00:24] chd176: just type " [00:24] Bryan:after an update/upgrade and restricted driver manager not normally running, then alt-f2 restricted-manager [00:24] I'm trying to get a logitech camera working in Gutsy. I ran lsusb and found the camera. I checked /dev/video0 and that has data. Camorama can't connect to /dev/video0. Any ideas?

[00:24] kling0n: if I disable USB support, I actually get to a splash-screen but it still hangs. [00:24] oh ok in the terminal thing? [00:24] kelsin: I understand that. That is why I want to install myself :) [00:24] is there a wild card cmd to look for a folder on your drive not knowing the full path? [00:25] how to fix ubuntu to make it run more quickly anyone [00:25] chd176: yep, you can also run synaptic from System -> Admin and search for sun-java6-jre and install it that way [00:25] Kuropon: locate folder [00:25] dolphin_noel, it use to but it got left of at some point, you can see those info by rightclicking hte file in rythembox and going to properties, or if you want a seperate app to do It easytag also displays them [00:25] used envy already for drivers [00:25] thomas_: Quickly in which respect? [00:25] alright thanks guys :o guess i'll just have to deal with my slow wifi ^_^ [00:25] thomas_, reinstall the drivers manualy [00:25] or, wait for an update [00:25] !ati | thomas_ [00:25] thomas_: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:25] thanks >_> [00:25] the last issue i had a question on was that i am currently on a wireless network at home here, and it seems when i boot in xp my browsing is much faster than in kubuntu, i am not sure if this is right but i had an idea that i may need to disable IPv6 and try a config tweak in firefox.. Does this sound like it may resolve the slow browsing speeds? [00:25] programs load slowly and freeze [00:26] yeah just tried it and it didn't work [00:26] got an error saying its not available [00:26] evanotten: IPv6 should make little differnce. [00:26] evanotten: disabling ipv6 won't make a difference. [00:26] chd176: need to enable the universe repo I think [00:26] Pelo well i was just think that was sme software tha show this in nautilus like ... we see the size file we can see the bitrates frm mp3 :x ok thank you very much :) [00:26] i was wondering that..

[00:36] chd176: no just install flash from synaptic or download it from adobe just like in windows :) [00:36] apt-get install cc :S [00:36] Pelo : ok well on a lark i thought id try the desktop 7.1 on my old g4 mac.. and after the inital startup when its suppose to go into live mode i just get a bkacl screen with a cursor. [00:36] WildnQIk: You mean gcc? [00:36] rofl [00:36] Pelo: thank you :-) [00:36] WildnQIk: "sudo apt-get install build-essential" [00:36] ok cool [00:36] thats the one [00:36] cheers kelsin [00:36] Kuropon: when you get a chance... do man tar in a term [00:36] MrLint, did you get the ppc live cd ? [00:36] loke, well wget defaults it to my /cache dir.. is it ok to extract stuff in there? [00:36] Kuropon: You mean /tmp? [00:36] now the only other issue I may run into is the MP3 support. I checked out the links but I'm confused it said something about having to convert the files? [00:36] pelo : Im pretty sure i did, the boot screen saya live is the default option. [00:37] JensenDied, do you still here? [00:37] chd176: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [00:37] Kuropon: If you're running it from the command line (terminal), it'll download it to the current location. [00:37] MrLint: at the first menu hit F6 then noapic if that dosent work there are other options to try [00:37] MrLint, I thinkt that the macs that run the intel chip need the i386 cd , but I'm not sure what I am talking about here [00:37] huss_: yeah somewhat [00:37] loke, /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz [00:37] is the location of it [00:37] jack : ok i'll give that a shot, i tried the no OF vid thing but that ended with the same result. [00:37] chd176: restricted formats have support for lots of file types, like mp3, mp4 .. [00:37] Kuropon: You can extract it there if you'd like. It makes no real difference. [00:38] * Pelo sees Jack_Sparrow rushing to MrLint 's rescue and decides to but out [00:38] heh :) [00:38] * loke will return in less than 5 minutes. Do not fear! [00:38] :) [00:38] JensenDied, compiz did put the same massage for the "avant-window-navigato" [00:38] actually let me go over to that box and try that now.. one moment. [00:38] * Pelo is afraid that loke will return [00:38] oh ok cool [00:38] the mplayer i just install still is stopping mpg after I uninstall totem firefox can someone please help me with this issue? [00:38] huss_: you might need to restart X in order for compiz to run when you login [00:39] Avt, cna yo try downloading the file and try it out from your pc ? [00:39] I did but "Error: Screen isn't composited. Please run compiz (-fusion) or another compositing manager" [00:39] for the recent flash udate. You need to grab the tar.gz from adobe and install the .so to your ~/.mozilla/plugins/ [00:39] whats a good program to use on ubuntu that has webmail ? [00:39] huss_: i closed the page but it probably didnt have you launch compiz, just set it as the default. anyway alt-f2 type compiz hit ok [00:39] This isn't really an important question I am just curious as to how MAC OS and Windows can enable MP3 support by default. Is this because linux distros are open source an the other OS's aren't? [00:40] * Pelo thinks Jack_Sparrow just lost his mind, we do not want to deal with this until they make a bin or a deb [00:40] WildnQIk: do you mean you want to run a webmail server? [00:40] yeah [00:40] loke, doing an apt-get clean in a later date would get rid of it right? [00:40] whoops i forgot i wasnt on irc in shell in that window:) [00:40] chd176: they pay patent fees to whatever comapnies to support it [00:40] chd176, copyright issues, apple and ms can afford to pay thomson for the rights [00:40] chd176: if you want a legal mp3 decoder you can get one free from fluendo [00:40] Pelo: they shoud have the installer fixed soon [00:40] pelo I will try it [00:40] Kuropon, loke is afk atm , wait a bit and ask again when he returns [00:41] Avt: Perhaps install package totem-mozilla [00:41] genii, we just had him remove it [00:41] WildnQIk: squirrel mail is a nice webmail client, also there is a project called "Bongo" (picked up where Hula left off) that includes mail / calendar stuff like that [00:41] also while install java I got an error that the installer was corrupt do I just need to try it again? [00:41] WildnQIk: I have no experience running these on ubuntu though, so I don't know if they're packaged etc [00:41] where would i obtain squirrel mail [00:41] chd176, how did you try to install java ? [00:41] found it [00:42] JensenDied, k then, do you think it might be a vega card prob? [00:42] Pelo: So xmms- something then for the player? [00:42] Is there a one-line commander where I can disable my connected monitor? And turn it on again? [00:42] I went to the synaptic package manager and searched for java and installed the .jre file and also the plugin [00:42] jack di dyou say f6? [00:42] this is the error I recieved [00:42] I have an nvidia card. [00:43] I was told to uninstall totem-moz for mplayer moz to work [00:43] should I just put back totem moz [00:43] huss_: i dont think so. just pull up the run dialog (alt+f2): compiz --replace; avant-window-navigator [00:43] genii ' he's having difficulties palying mpeg in FF , he tried totem , he installed mplayer, we had him remove totem , now he's gonna try dling hte file and urnning it from the comp, I think the file is borked personnaly [00:43] E: sun-java5-jre: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139 [00:43] MrLint: at the start or install screen yes F6 [00:43] * nickrud thinks Jack_Sparrow is just dealing with reality [00:43] Pelo: Yeah one of those shoulda worked [00:44] guys should I put back totem moz and uninstall mplayer? [00:44] Avt: Not yet I would say [00:44] Avt, try it [00:44] the mplayer movie plays offline but not with the plugin [00:44] I need to get mplayer plugin workin [00:44] Pelo: I'll just observe to make things less confusing LOL [00:44] Avt, there is also a vlc-mozilla you can try [00:45] mozilla-plugin-vlc [00:45] genii, I'M sorry, we're just not in sync on this one [00:45] Pelo: Yup [00:45] Hi, I just deleted one folder, and I cant see it in the trash, any way I can get it back? [00:45] Alloosh: did you delete it as root.. that is a dif folder [00:45] * loke has returned [00:46] JensenDied, you know what it seems like I don't have luck, anyhow never mind and thanks a lot for you [00:46] mpg with vlc looks grainy :( [00:46] Jack ok i dont think im getting that far, Im at the YAboot screen and when i type "live" i get a little it of stuff then "Loading please wait" and then the black screen with a lone cursor in the upper left [00:46] * Pelo was afraid loke would return and his fears are confirmed [00:46] loke from anandtech forums? [00:46] well I have to go for now [00:46] thanks to all who helped [00:46] Jack_Sparrow: I am not logged in as root, but the file owner is the user iam using now. [00:46] * genii sips a coffee and thinks about Mac Yaboot linuxes [00:46] I will try to get it later [00:46] huss_: =[ its probably something simple im missing [00:47] Alloosh: How did you go about deleting the file? [00:47] Alloosh: Did you use sudo to delete it? [00:47] I'm havin' issues with flashplugin-nonfree [00:47] Viper550: MD5 issue? [00:47] Does anyone know how to temporarily turn off/disable your monitor from command line with a nvidia card? [00:47] genii: no its a folder not a file, I deleted it by selecting it and pressed delete. [00:47] JensenDied, may be, I'll try in any other time may be I got much better chance [00:48] why is this such a problem playing mpg in firefox? [00:48] loke: no I did not. [00:48] any kind of mpg [00:48] Avt, it usualy isn'T [00:48] actually. I'm under a 2nd user account. My first user used the option to install Flash on his account with Firefox [00:48] pelo hm?

[00:54] Pelo ah, thanks [00:54] i thought you said gparted instead of parted [00:54] Zylstra555: you need a / (root) partition that could be in example: ext3 [00:54] (I currently have Vista as my second OS, I just need to use Ubuntu to move my data around, so I can get rid of Dells junk) [00:54] Zylstra555: and a swap partition [00:54] I'm printing out a large scale drawing (.png) which will require several A4 sheets (5 or so).. but gqview scales it automatically down to one A4 sheet [00:54] Zylstra555, just rezise your existing ntfs partition to make room for ubuntu you need at least 10 gig to install ubuntu, more is better, after that just proceed with the install , guided I think , the dual boot part wll take care or itself [00:55] juano__: Okay, so, currently, I am in the installer.

[01:08] kitofhawaii: I agree... you need to keep them cool... but not in a freezer [01:09] ok i have successfully installed emeral themer [01:09] pelo whats the rest of it? [01:09] and imported dark ice theme [01:09] Pelo, Jack_sparrow, genii, and everyone else, thanks for the help [01:09] how do i apply it [01:09] ? [01:09] np [01:09] * Pelo does the dance of joy in honnor of evanotten [01:09] lol ty [01:09] evanotten just select it then restart X [01:09] evanotten, drag drop the tar-gz file on the theme manager , the emerald theme manager I mean [01:10] i am using a dynamic tunnel through SSH, i used freecap in Windows Vista, but I don't like using windoze to play if I don't have to. I want to socksify World of Warcraft in ubuntu. Is that possible? [01:10] naes: You don't restart x to apply a theme. [01:10] yea, but mine does .. [01:10] pelo? [01:10] kitofhawaii: It's usually a last-ditch attempt at that point anyhow so I don't really care much if it lives longer than 1/2 hr or so [01:10] the windows borders dont show up until i restart x.. [01:10] evanotten, btw for compiz related stuff , you get better help in #compiz-fusion [01:10] restart x, ? [01:10] naes: Then you're in the right channel to get support for that. =] [01:10] Avt, just clean install first [01:10] yeah my bad [01:10] thanks for your patience guys [01:10] evanotten, to clean isntall x crtl_alt_backspace [01:11] this was a clean install two hours ago see how long it took and I still fobar my mpg stuff so whats the rest of the stuff [01:11] how do I disable certain hardware? [01:11] when you "suspend" your computer what all exactly is it doing? [01:11] whenever my computer does something fullscreen, like a game or even screensaver, i can see the blocky outline of my panels and any semi-transparent windows... anyone else get that? [01:11] nilihanth: blacklist [01:11] hmm [01:11] Dethlok, ti copies your ram to the swap and turns of fthe cpu more or less [01:11] Dethlok: i believe turning off monitor, lowering power to hdd [01:11] im leaving pretty soon so I want to get this goin [01:11] does anyone play World of Warcraft over a firewall? [01:12] spiffman, running compiz ? [01:12] pelo, yes [01:12] Jack_Sparrow: what is "blacklist"? [01:12] loke and genii: fair enough, but usually we use peltier plates to accomplish that, not a residential freezer [01:12] is it good for your computer to use that when you are afk for long durations or just leaving it run normally? [01:12] spiffman, turn them off and see if it still happens [01:12] pelo can I repair install so it keep my background ect [01:12] Avt, jsut backup yoru /home folder [01:12] o [01:12] Dethlok: it is actually for that [01:12] pelo you mean the panels and windows? if i close them, there's no problem [01:12] Dethlok: when you don't want a full power-off [01:12] HI. on loging in I get an error message regarding xserver being unble to be reached. startx gnome on the command prompt produces an error message saying unable to find nvidia - graphics driver I assume. I suppose this m,emans that the driver is currupted? And if so what is the commandline to pull and reinstall it? Or is there a simpler solution? :-) [01:12] nilihanth: not sure if that is what you want but... To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add " blacklist " to the end of that list - [01:12] Dethlok: I think the only benefit is that you don't have a noisy computer, or kill a laptop battery. [01:13] greetings [01:13] pelo, i just did something and i am back lol i am so confused man [01:13] Who plays World of Warcraft? [01:13] spiffman, I mean turn off the desktop effects , and see if it still happnes [01:13] so the cpu, ram and hdd's never actually shut down they just slow down [01:13] i play world of warcraft [01:13] evanotten, what did you do ? [01:13] do you play on ubuntu? [01:13] yep [01:13] over a firewall? [01:13] clean install buttons [01:13] flawlessly [01:14] wow i am cool [01:14] Dethlok, over a socks proxy before? [01:14] a firewall, i dont think, i never set one up so im guessing no [01:14] Jack_Sparrow: I dont see a "my_blacklist" file, but I do see a couple others with "blacklist" in the names [01:14] oh, im at school trying to play [01:14] so yeah no luck on the install of the new theme guess i should go to compiz irc? [01:15] i know of only one way so far and that is OpenVPN [01:15] evanotten, the compiz ppl will know exactly how you install an emerald theme yes, #compiz-fusion [01:15] nilihanth: Perhaps a description of the probem you are trying to fix.. [01:15] i only have OpenSSH install [01:15] evanotten: do you have the emerald themes manager installed? [01:15] hmmm, im guessing the firewall won't let you connect to the game? [01:15] yea [01:15] yeah just installed it but it doesnt show up [01:15] only ports 80 and 443 out [01:15] !firewall [01:15] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [01:15] it downloaded from synaptic [01:15] noob ftw [01:15] Jack_Sparrow: Ok, I have 2 LAN controllers and one gives me problems but it is the first that the NM wants to connect to. [01:15] evanotten: press alt+f2 then type emerald-theme-manager in the box [01:16] Jack_Sparrow: sometimes it locks up my machine even [01:16] Jack_Sparrow: I found a file called "blacklist" in /etc/modprobe.d/ [01:16] pelo, if i turn all effects off, it works fine [01:16] k i got that up [01:16] Jack_Sparrow: it has things like "blacklist snd_intel8x0m" in it...is that what I want? [01:17] evan all you do is drag the emerald theme into the emerald theme manager [01:17] spiffman, I think you need to ask in #compiz-fusion if there is a way to turn off windows transparency whn you have something running fullscreen === bruenig is now known as Evanlec_ [01:17] ok i see a screenshot of the them and the info i.e engine is pixmap [01:18] Sorry to spam - but anyone help quickly with a graphics driver problem? :-) [01:18] Pelo, thanks! i don't quite know why the panel would show up, the parts that bleed through are not semitransparent, but i'll just ask there i guess === Evanlec_ is now known as bruenig [01:18] yep, then you just select it [01:18] >loke === Synx_ubuntu is now known as Synx_hm [01:18] Iggz, we need to know the problem first [01:18] evanotten: click the theme and it should apply. [01:18] nilihanth: Yu are in an area I know little about... here is a link that MAY help.. not sure.. http://www.lockergnome.com/linux/2007/10/24/ubuntu-gutsy-internet-help/ [01:18] Sorry I can't guide you step by step, as I can't run emerald or compiz here. [01:19] Jack_Sparrow: can you quickly tell me how to find out my module's name? [01:19] evanotten, go ansd ask in #compiz-fusion [01:19] no just has an option to clear, refresh delete import or quit at the bottom, when clicked it highlights but no action [01:19] k i will check it out [01:19] Is it a problem that when i use "dmesg | grep fglrx" it gives me fglrx 8.37.6, yet when i look in synaptic it shows that i have 8.44.3 installed? [01:19] how do i edit my ports for what is open ? [01:19] evanotten: Click the theme on the list on the left, it should apply automatically. [01:19] need some help setting up a nfs share and mount [01:19] chaosrl, did you manually install newer fglrx, not from the repositories? [01:19] If not, perhaps emerald isn't running. In which case. alt+f2 then type "emerald --replace" [01:20] does anybody know how to solve this bug with loading the "young" theme for edubuntu [01:20] Pelo: On login I now get a message that umbutu cannot connect to xserver. and taken to commnd line. I impute startx gnome but get error message unable to find nvedia - i assume graphics driver.... [01:20] xtknight: yes, and now i can not login as anything but failsafe [01:20] xtknight: From AnandTech? ;) [01:20] I assume this is a corrupted driver? it came after a crash - grphics related [01:20] loke, indeed lol i asked u the same thing an hr ago, u must have missed it [01:20] nilihanth: sorry , I was reading.. you mean like lspci or lsusb [01:20] xtknight: Sorry, I'm easily distracted. :D [01:20] Iggz, boot recovery mode type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and select yoru driver again, for everthing else, pick the default provided unless you know for sure , the restart the comp [01:21] i have share an nfs folder and trying to mount it on a different machine i get permission denied. on the host i have added a line in ext/exports and use exportfs -ra afterwards but i still cant access any clue? [01:21] ;) [01:21] Pelo: thank you very much :-) [01:21] should i have installed from the repos? [01:21] xtknight: No longer from AT, though. Recently...re-banned. [01:21] lol [01:21] Jack_Sparrow: ok, I did lspci but I cannot tell what the name would be of the module...the name I'd type in "blacklist " [01:21] Can anyone point me to a document that shows the exact steps during the boot process of V7.10 ? [01:21] chaosrl, you should always install from the repos [01:21] chaosrl, want to revert to normal driver for awhile? [01:21] Pelo: I usually try the config with startx ... is that wrong.? [01:21] chaosrl, but yes use restricted manager for drivers [01:22] how would i do that? [01:22] Is ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso a livecd? [01:22] i'm currently using the restricted driver i think [01:22] Jack_Sparrow: Here is the line from lspci that describes the problematic device... [01:22] Jack_Sparrow, reconfigrueing will /should re-enable the autostart of X [01:22] loke, well im on ubutnu forums too, just not as often sometimes [01:22] Jack_Sparrow: 01:09.0 Ethernet controller: Lite-On Communications Inc LNE100TX [Linksys EtherFast 10/100] (rev 25) [01:22] logankoester: Yes. As long as "alternate" isn't in the filename, it's a liveCD. [01:22] thanks loke [01:22] Jack_Sparrow: is it "LNE100TX" ? [01:22] logankoester: You're welcome. [01:22] chaosrl, youre using fglrx from ati.com right now but we can uninstall this [01:22] afk [01:23] nilihanth: I am brain dead today... but yes.. that looks right... [01:23] chaosrl, do you remember downloading a .sh file? [01:23] Jack_Sparrow: lol, ok I'll try it...thanks! [01:23] xtknight: no, i had a .run file [01:23] chaosrl, ok that's good too [01:23] xtknight: if it helps, i used the guide from "mylittleubuntuguide" to try to get suspend/hibernate [01:23] which didn't work either :P [01:23] nilihanth: make a backup of your old file [01:23] chaosrl, hmm so it told you to install official fglrx to suspend? [01:24] i thought it was kind of wierd, but i guess so [01:24] anyone know if the ATI linux .run drivers support --uninstall from command line? [01:24] how do i set my time and date up manually ? === Evil is now known as embed [01:24] xtknight: here's a link to the guide: http://www.mylittleubuntuguide.com/2007/10/21/gutsy-suspend-hibernate-workingat-a-cost/ [01:24] nick fong [01:24] Jack_Sparrow: thanks, I will === onats is now known as fong [01:25] chaosrl, oh boy.. looks like we've got some stuff to revert. === fong is now known as onats [01:25] need help understanding the Ubuntu boot process - anyone familiar w/ this ? [01:25] chaosrl, ok, one sec [01:25] xtknight: i've uninstalled the packages from the first step (purged) [01:25] !grub [01:25] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [01:25] which then told me it needed libcairo+some other things again, which i allowed [01:26] chaosrl, ok, well the first pkgs are harmless, you can keep those. in fact you might want them. they are just build tools [01:26] how do i set my time and date up manually ?

I know this sounds weird, but I am using a powerline networking device, since I don't want to buy wifi for everything in my room. I think since the adapter is rated for 85mbps, the switch I have here might be setting it to 10mbps. Any one know how I can find out? [01:27] WildnQIk: Right click on the clock -> adjust time and date. Make sure you choose "manual" instead of synchronized, then adjust as you see fit. [01:27] Sorry, I meant after GRUB/LILO - I don't understand what happens (and how) when "init" is called [01:28] xtknight so use that line of code you just said?

I don't know the startup order but the upstart jobs are in /etc/event.d [01:40] xtknight: i'm getting E: Unmet dependencies. Try "apt-get -f install" with no packages (or specify a solution).

[01:41] !pastebin | chaosrl [01:41] TheMasticator, crossover is propriatary, apt is only for free stuff, you can get wine from apt-get [01:42] rockoman, you need to change the horiz sync values in your xorg.conf file to match that of your monitor [01:42] oh gotcha! Photoshop in Wine keeps telling me I am missing personalization information [01:42] rockoman: that means that your monitor is trying for a resolution your card is not set up for or does not support [01:42] I read that online, I dont know how to change it ;/ [01:42] xtknight: like this? [01:42] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48026/ [01:42] TheMasticator: have you check the wine appdb to see if there is a solution for that?

[01:44] chaosrl, nope [01:44] chaosrl, just the last one [01:44] i also used to alternative iso [01:44] rockoman, you can try from the alternate isntall cd , it is text based and is usualy less touchy about hardware when installing [01:44] xtknight, i've purged the last one now [01:44] because the live CD would freeze before it would get me to the live desktop [01:44] bjbum, restricted drivers [01:44] * Pelo is getting annoyed at rockoman [01:44] synaptic [01:44] chaosrl, sudo apt-get --reinstall install xorg-driver-fglrx linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` [01:44] ok now try this [01:45] chaosrl, i gues if thats what u meant by last cmd, ya [01:45] rockoman, is this a laptop ? [01:45] nope [01:45] rockoman, older pc ? [01:45] i installed ubuntu fine on my laptop [01:45] about a year old [01:45] rockoman, what videocard ? [01:45] xtknight, it's finished [01:45] radeon 1300 series [01:45] chaosrl, ok, do you know how to configure your xorg to use fglrx? [01:45] rockoman, can you get the command line from anywhere ? [01:46] Does anyone know of a better Gnome (Ubuntu) menu editor? [01:46] xtknight: not really? i've been through dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg a couple of times, but niether time went very smoothly [01:46] chaosrl, ok [01:46] let me see [01:46] chaosrl, try "gksu restricted-manager" now [01:46] how do i exit and save changed in iv? [01:46] Ttech, Itink that main-menu is it [01:47] localgod11, try crtl x or q [01:47] the menu editor? No other programs to edit the menu? [01:47] no [01:47] xtknight, it shows the same two as before, but now the ATI accelerated graphics driver is Enabled, but Not in use [01:47] Ttech, is restricted drivers a package in synaptic? because the restricted drivers manager thing from the system menu, nothing shows up. only my graphics card and wireless card (both proprietaries are being used) [01:47] when im at the bootscreen and i press "ESC" i can press C to get to a command-line [01:47] thats about it [01:47] Ttech, not that I know of [01:47] chaosrl, ok that's good. try enabling now and you should be good [01:47] i do that sand it says ^mode [01:47] chaosrl, in the future always use restricted manager to install proprietary drivers, (if) possible [01:47] rockoman, ok sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , sselect the vesa driver and for everthing else stick to the defaults [01:47] X^mode [01:47] xtknight: should i uncheck the enabled box and then recheck it? [01:48] i've compiled the latest asla as it says here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [01:48] but still no go :'( [01:48] Error 27: Unrecognized Command ;'/ [01:48] chaosrl, hmm i guess? is there a way to tell it to use the driver? [01:48] chaosrl, i cant remember, im not using restricted right now [01:48] xtknight: yah, i'll probably not mess with my install until hh or a sure fix for suspend comes out [01:48] bjbum, menu > system> admin ( or prefs ) sound > check to make sure you card is selected in for all the kind of sounds [01:48] chaosrl, unenable and then reenable, then see if it notifies you of anything like "reboot to try your new restricted drivers" or whatever [01:49] xtknight: yeah, i'ts asking for a reboot [01:49] chaosrl, ok , well, reboot ;) [01:49] rockoman, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , just incase I misstyped earlier [01:49] i guess i'll go ahead and reboot and come back and let you know. thanks though! [01:49] should be fine after that [01:49] yea [01:49] ok [01:49] same error [01:49] its at a grub> command thing [01:50] rockoman, hmm [01:50] rockoman, I give up [01:50] ;/ [01:50] sorry [01:51] ive tried to install different linux's also and it freezes on the live cd ;/ [01:51] * Pelo feels like the total and uther failure that he is , [01:51] i cant figure out why [01:51] live cd do not include ati or nvidia drivers because they are propriatary and livecd only include FOSS stuff [01:51] Pelo, i've tried them all on oss, asla. still doesn't work :( [01:52] bjbum, did yo try with the !sound troubler shooti8ng guide first ? [01:52] if it helps i cant access a Shell prompt when i use the alternative cd [01:52] *i CAN === jugh3ad is now known as jughead === reconnect is now known as recon [01:52] if that helps? [01:52] rockoman, try installing from the alternate install cd again, see how far you get, make a note of the dpkg-reconfigure line and run that after you have finished the install [01:52] xtknight: Success! Thank you so much! [01:53] chaosrl, glad i could make it a success ;P [01:53] those are always good words to hea r [01:53] i tried that already too ;/, i didnt even see the configure for the video when i installed [01:53] xtknight: i actually had one more question: what does gksu do? [01:53] rockoman sometimes when i install it hangs up in the installation process if you wait it will usually go through though it seems it wont, or just start it over, evertime it has "hanged" on a comp for me it has eventually gone through or gone through after restarting [01:53] * Pelo congradulaes xtknight for getting his noob back on track [01:53] chaosrl, it is the graphical version of sudo, aka gksudo and gksu... same thing. they should be used when running GUI programs thru sudo [01:54] can somebody help me with connecting from an ubuntu comp to windows, via vncviewer [01:54] How do I "include '/usr/games' in the PATH enviroment variable? [01:54] so sudo gedit would be the same thing as gksu gedit, right? [01:54] the windows comp has a password [01:54] rockoman, you don'T get a configure for the video when you install from the alt cd or the live one [01:54] r3n0c: are you getting an error? [01:54] but vncviewer doesn't allow for a password [01:54] +n [01:54] chaosrl, well gksu is safer to use. sudo could potentially do something bad, i dont know, at least that's what they say [01:54] (hint: sudo is probably fine0 [01:54] oh ;/ [01:54] haha, ok [01:54] kelsin, i just don't know how to input a password into the vncviewer [01:55] r3n0c: if you just do "vncviewer " it will ask for a password if it needs one [01:55] naes, i've tried three different linux's and they all stop at the same place, i'ved waited for it to kick back up, but it doesnt ;/ [01:55] kelsin, it totally doesn't tho [01:55] rockoman, the alt-cd insatlls all theway thought then reboot , if you get the desktop fine, if you dont, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and selesct the vesa [01:55] rockoman, where does the install stop ? [01:55] kelsin, it says no matching security types [01:56] r3n0c: that's because you're using the free enterprise realvnc on windows [01:56] r3n0c: go download the tightvnc for windows vncserver, it will work [01:56] kelsin, it is not the freeversion... full version [01:56] r3n0c: well then that's def the reason [01:56] when i use the live cd, it freezes BEFORE the desktop comes up, i used the alt CD and it finishes installing, but when it goes to load Ubuntu, it shows me the "Out of Range" Error [01:56] and i try to goto a command, but the command terminal wont show up under recovery [01:56] r3n0c: they don't let anything but their client connect, so you'll need to install their linux client, or use another vnc server on windows [01:56] rockoman, when you get the hout of range error, do you get a command line prompt ? [01:57] r3n0c: I don't think their current client is packaged for ubuntu at all [01:57] nope, just a black screen that says out of range [01:57] rockoman, how do you try to get the recovery mode ? [01:57] i press during the GRUB countdown [01:58] rockoman, press what ? [01:58] esc [01:58] kelsin, o ok, so if i dl tightvnc on the windows box it'll work? [01:58] rockoman, ok [01:58] r3n0c: yes, I do know for sure that the error you got is due to using a free client on windows trying to connect to the enterprise realvnc server on windows [01:58] Woh, Photoshop 7.0 works SO fast using Wine... I never would've imagined [01:58] is there something i can edit the commands before booting? [01:59] TheMasticator: 7.0 is pretty old [01:59] TheMasticator: wine isn't an emulator, what it's doing shouldn't result in a speed slowdown, just a "a lot of things don't work" problem [01:59] rockoman, boot he alt cd, select eh command line, mount the ubuntu partition, ( sudo mkdir /mnt/ubu /dev/hda1 , or whatever it is ) then, cd /mnt/ubu/etc/X11 , sudo nano xorg.conf , find hte horiz sync line and change it for the range of your monitor [01:59] TheMasticator: hence wine able to run a lot of games just fine [01:59] TheMasticator: CS2 is the newest [01:59] k give me a minute [02:00] yeah, I know 7 is just all I have [02:00] and it runs faster in linux using wine than windows XP or Vista [02:00] rockoman, you do realise that I am making this up as I go at this time [02:00] juano__ there's cs3 now [02:00] TheMasticator: heh [02:00] lol ;/ [02:00] spiffman: yep CS3 [02:00] spiffman: your right [02:01] Hi,can anyone tell me if there is a cammand line to disable 3d desk-top effects from the recovery screen? :-) [02:01] when i use the CD should i select "install a command-line system"? [02:01] rockoman, I'm in heavy troubleshooting mode ATM, try stuff and see if you can get a way to fix the problem [02:01] *command [02:01] spiffman: didn't know it was completely out in a stable version though [02:01] Iggz, the ppl in #compiz-fusion probably know [02:01] juano__ it is, well for windows... haven't tried it in wine yet [02:01] pelo: thanks [02:02] rockoman, I thnk you can run a command line from the cd , witouht installing, [02:02] spiffman: i see, i tried dreamweaver with wine and flash, none worked [02:02] http://www.hotubuntunews.com/blog_03.shtml rockoman for dapper but should still apply for gutsy [02:02] i dont see it anywhere [02:02] i guess since i'm here and procrastinating studying for finals, does anyone know how to get battle.net for starcraft to work in ubuntu? [02:02] rockoman, but if you want you can try installing a command line system and if that goes whell we can try intalling a desktop ontop afterwards [02:02] juano__ what happened when you tried to run/install them? [02:03] bazhang, i already saw that site, thank you, but i cant get to a command [02:03] rockoman, following me one this ?

[02:03] spiffman: eemm... i installed fine, but then i tried running and nothing it just didn't do nothing at all... , but there was a waring message at installation sayin dreamweaver needed IE4 or something like that, but i read that you can ignore that and it won't affect running [02:04] rockoman, I'mgoing to bed in 30 min , I'll wait for you as long as I can [02:04] k thank you === mere is now known as marya [02:04] kelsin, sorry back, how do i remove the vncviewer that comes wiht ubuntu?

[02:05] kelsin, i just dl'd the enterprise edition of vnc on the linux box, supports the 128bit encryption which is on the windows one [02:05] kelsin, and it connects fine [02:05] yep [02:05] evanotten, go back into appearsnce, select the theme tab , customise button at the botom, check under controls [02:05] evanotten, there is an ubuntu cygwin forum [02:05] juano__ dang... i haven't tried very large wine apps, except worms armageddon :P which did some strange things [02:05] evanotten, on irc [02:05] r3n0c: so now you just want to remove the one on ubuntu? [02:05] Hello [02:05] i have an osx one right now [02:05] what kind of phone do you have? [02:05] kelsin, yeah, b/c i wanna install the enterprise edition [02:06] and have you googled for one? [02:06] but autoremove vncviewer doesn't work [02:06] r3n0c: so you havn't installed the enterprise edition yet? Does it overwrite the ubuntu one or something? [02:06] its a nokia 6555b [02:06] Just wanted to ask one quick question: If my Live CD installer get's stuck on language selection on my laptop is it because of the small RAM I have? Would the alternate (text-based) installer work? [02:06] kelsin, i didn't install it, i just extracted it to desktop, it is a standalone app [02:06] yea, the one i found was just an ubuntu symbol with the previous theme [02:06] papuccino1: trying the alternate text-mode installer is always a good idea for stalls on the live cd version [02:06] kelsin, but i wanna make it so tat i can type vncviewer in terminal to run it [02:07] an dit is currently pointing to the free version [02:07] papuccino1, yes [02:07] Thank you very much kelsin. Downloading it right now from the torrent. =) [02:07] r3n0c: i would place it in /usr/local/bin, that comes ahead of /usr/bin in the path [02:07] kelsin, yeah, but how do i get rid of the vncviewer that came with ubuntu [02:07] Ok, see ya later. [02:07] papuccino1: the installer steps are identical so it's just as easy (imo) but will get you a system to debug if there is an issue [02:07] kelsin, they are both called "vncviewer" [02:07] Yeah, I read in this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/I386 [02:08] r3n0c: "sudo aptitude search vnc" to find which vnc packages are installed, then remove them like you were doing with the right package names [02:08] Thank you again. Ubuntu rocks so far. I love it. =D [02:08] kelsin, thanks [02:08] spiffman: i think wine is a bit worse then they put it... never really *worked* for me [02:08] wordi love ubuntu [02:08] r3n0c: you can also do "dpkg -S /usr/bin/vncviewer" I think to find which package owns the ubuntu one [02:08] juano__: wine is still in beta [02:08] Oerllikon have you tried making your own? http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/7e78403b-ce27-42c3-ba3c-d8629da7622a/Nokia_Series_40_Theme_Studio.html [02:08] * Pelo just sits here and soaks up the love [02:08] or is that not a Series 40? [02:09] juano__: still in beta like debaser said but even so it runs all my blizzard games, so I'm happy [02:09] i don't know much about nokias [02:09] kelsin, the second one dpkg... is not found [02:09] i think its series 60 [02:09] debaser: kelsin yeh, ive been able to run some games though thats true [02:09] juano__ yea, i think it was more directed towards specific apps, like photoshop, rather than every windows app [02:09] it doesnt recognize .sis files, the more common ones [02:09] spiffman: i agree [02:10] juano__, kelsin: that's mostly a "courtesy" from the developers, only technically is still in beta [02:10] kelsin, found it, the built in one is called xvnc4viewer [02:10] One more question please: What are the absolute specs needed for Ubuntu 7.10 to run decently. I don't need the extra compiz, just the normal with a little animation going on. Nothing too fancy. Would it run ok on: 256Mb RAM, 1.2Ghz processor, 20Gb hard disk laptop? [02:10] How can I make my Leadtek WinFast 2000/XP Global work? This is the lspci output: http://pastebin.com/m6950a479 [02:10] i have a couple of network interfaces that i want to remove, although there is nothing about them in /etc/network/interfaces , is there anywhere else i should look for? [02:10] papuccino1 yes [02:10] Oerllikon: have you tried this? http://series-60-theme-studio.en.softonic.com/symbian [02:10] kelsin: did you have to install directx 9 under wine or is it better not to ? i really can't recall that and was wanting to install some games [02:10] in a preseed file how do i specify a nfs point for the installation medium? [02:10] Ah cool. Thanks Naes. [02:11] juano__: all my games run in opengl mode, so I wouldn't know [02:11] papuccino1: it would run nicely on that system [02:11] kelsin: i see [02:11] This IRC > The forums.

[02:11] hi all [02:11] thanks, i thought about that, but i figured it would be over my head [02:12] r3n0c: ahhhh ubuntu uses alternatives to handle the vnc binary so yeah it doesn't find vncviewer, oh well, glad you found it [02:12] kelsin: i like Nexuiz though, and some other native linux games [02:12] How to change font in "shell output"?

[02:46] I am on a very limited net connection and wanted to do a clean reinstall of gutsy. So I copied my /var/.../apt/cache and did "apt-ftpcahce..." to create a personal update repository to avoid having to redownload all updates. BUt some of the packages have a "%" sign in the file name and synaptics then reports that it can't find my update even though it'sthere. Am I missing something during the repository creation?

[02:47] k [02:47] i'll let u know when its done [02:47] eshaase: tcpdump collects packages, and wireshark seems to be the favorite gui client [02:47] Yes! @ Kelsin. [02:48] does anybody know of a program for linux to do text substition at the Window Manager level [02:48] I installed some lm tempatures thing but how I read it? [02:48] any ideas about how to get the default size of emacs-gtk in the newest version of Ubuntu? All my former ways failed [02:48] dafyre: tcpdump doesn't actually analyze packets though no?

[02:49] rexus, system > preferences > desktop effects [02:49] anyone know how to track down the cause of modprobe failures when trying to boot Ubuntu from the live CD? [02:49] rexus compiz was in my updates so probly [02:49] eshaase: If you want to Analyze the packets, Wireshark is the way to go. [02:49] I use tcpdump for actually doing the captures. [02:49] but i'm looking for something installed by default [02:49] fimmtiu: this is very odd, but if I add a print statement to print argc right before the return statement, I don't get that happening... [02:49] (less cpu intensive). [02:49] marc: if it finds any errors, then memory is most definitely the culprit [02:49] You can install tcpdump & wireshark from apt-get [02:50] hey I have a noob question-- which version of ubuntu can I download so that it will work on an old mach powerpc G4 laptop? [02:50] rexus: yes, gutsy comes with built-in compiz [02:50] eshaase: well ubuntu isn't the type of distro to include tcpdump by default, it's one line away [02:50] help me read temps of lm temeratures [02:50] rexus: se !compiz [02:50] eshaase: there are many live cd's out there that come packed with network/security software on them [02:50] !compiz | rexus [02:50] rexus: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [02:50] Avt: I assume you mean lm-sensors.

[03:54] sudo smartctl --all /dev/sda |grep -i load produces a count of 20,509 and thats over the course of a year [03:55] sometimes as low as 3-5 seconds [03:55] zenrium: yeah i am using nvidia and have tried the nvidia-settings and tired editing the xorg.conf file as well [03:55] smartmon tests all passed a-ok [03:55] forcing power management to 255 and 254 did nothing to change it as well [03:55] kitofhawaii: no....I think i need to find a guide on this. I thought I would like the extra security of the 'server', not so sure now :) [03:56] is it doing it right now? [03:56] Yes. [03:56] nova: try the third one I mentioned then... there is a possibility that in system - preferences - settings you have the command nvidia-settings --config-only which would cause this too I think [03:56] hello :) [03:56] i miss my beautiful ui [03:56] how do i run the x config wizard from command line?

When I use the rt kernel, it causes anything that plays through the TiMidity++ daemon to freeze. [04:24] But the generic kernel works fine.

[05:38] hmmmm [05:39] anyone know why xchat isnt even using the nickserv password [05:39] what is the point of using sudo, eg, it seems that a sudo user has the same rights as root? [05:39] it does [05:39] j1solutions: same here :( [05:40] kitofhawaii: nope, just the button on the upper right corner of the screen [05:40] Jeriath, are you going into freenode? I think sometimes it takes a little time? [05:40] ramza3: thats teh point of sudo...so you can have admin rights... [05:40] ramza3: ofc, but only ONE time (when u use the command) [05:40] ramza3, because it's not good to be careless with root, using sudo provides more controls over when and how the root access is used [05:40] jrgotti, I know, but does it buy you any extra protections over root [05:40] ramza3: it doesn t left an "open" superuser account ... [05:40] ok [05:40] Hi all: Does anyone have any experience with using Festival on Ubuntu? [05:41] hajiki: What is the text of your /boot/grub/menu.list > current kernel text line starting with 'kernel'? [05:41] hajiki: are you getting nothing at all (blank screen) or text? [05:41] When I try and run a text-to-speech program, I get an error accessing /dev/dsp [05:41] ramza3, it doesnt do it in any of my networks [05:42] But I'm not sure why /dev/dsp can't be used if I can play sound normally with mplayer [05:42] kitofhawaii: black screen [05:42] ramza3: when you use sudo...you only have root for the command you put sudo in front of....so if i were to type sudo cp file1 file2...it would copy with root. if i immediately were to type 'rm *' 9bad idea) i wouldnt have root because i didnt put "sudo" in front. [05:42] bullgard4: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=8f1f3322-9ce3-49ac-8086-09e4b4a5f66b ro quiet splash [05:42] wheres if your logged in as root [05:42] ANYTHING you do has root priv.

[05:43] loke: thanks! is there any command to check that automatically? [05:43] jrgotti, I thought it was if you don't close that terminal session. eg, once you sudo, you could do sudo once and then do "rm *" [05:43] pooria: gdb [05:43] lsof /dev/dsp [05:43] hajiki: do you have an onboard video card in addition to an add-on video card? also...i'd be curious to see if you are getting anything if you issue a terminal shutdown [05:43] ramza3: nope. =] [05:43] hajiki: i.e. "sudo init 0" for shutdown, or "sudo init 6" for reboot [05:43] pooria: when you compile, you put some gdb tags in your bin you can trace later one [05:44] loke: comes up blank; does that guarantee nothing's using it? [05:44] hajiki: You have 'splash' in it. So this text line is okay. -- But I do not know why your computer does not show usplash on shutdown. Sorry, I cannot help you. [05:44] kitofhawaii: no i dont have another video card [05:44] robotic: It does, which is..odd. =p [05:44] i cant get sound working on boson [05:44] I'm not going to compile anything - I wanna see what values are in CPU's registers right know [05:44] jrgotti, ok, but I dont have to enter my password [05:44] gutsy [05:44] bullgard4: thanks anyway [05:44] jrgotti, reenter on the second sudo cmd [05:44] loke: OK, let me try quitting everything to see if that frees it up somehow. [05:45] k...kinda works now [05:45] kitofhawaii: i can try shutting by terminal [05:45] how can i watch videos in youtube with opera? [05:45] just doesnt like to save the information when i change it is all [05:45] ramza3: correct. it leaves you with a 15 minute window (by default). again, however, you still have to conciously enter "sudo" to run a command as root, virtually eliminating stupid errors. [05:45] ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:1268:(snd_pcm_direct_set_timer_params) unable to set timer parameters [05:46] peterretief: Wuhhh, a nice compilation error. Have you tried launchpad ? [05:46] hey everyone [05:47] i just installed ubuntu, and i'm loving it [05:47] however i seem to be having one problem [05:47] ufarooq: good start [05:47] qwerkus: what would i do with launchpad? [05:47] ufarooq: welcome, and of course you are. it wouldnt be linux otherwise :P [05:47] peterretief: check if someone else noticed your probe - and perhaps find an answer ... [05:48] qwerkus: sorry for the dumb question? [05:48] ah ok [05:48] working now :D [05:48] w00t [05:48] jrgotti: i didn't have any problems when first trying out linux :P [05:48] Poisonkiller: i envy you. then again, the first distro i tried was gentoo. talk about dreaming in technicolor. [05:49] sorry for the intro, felt it was important, anyways, the problem im having is with my usb soundcard, ive got a soundblaster i think its 16bits. i can get sound ot of it, however when i change the volume in the mixer, it is really weird, the two channells dont stay linked, and by pressing the volume up button it doesnt always go up, sometime it goes down, sometimes it goes up, its weird, i dunno if anyone can help === ubuntu_ is now known as IdleOne [05:49] qwerkus: i think its since ubuntu updated its ui from mesa - boson is just a game i guess [05:50] ufarooq: your best option is to check out the homepage / forum of the team developping the driver you use [05:50] i see, and how do i find out what driver im using, it just seemed to work out of the box so far [05:50] what's a good IRC program for ubuntu [05:50] ? [05:50] irssi [05:50] or xchat [05:51] xLE: im using opera's built in IRC client [05:51] Poisonkiller: Same here [05:51] hajiki: did you get anything? [05:51] do you have to compile xchat [05:51] i never even noticed opera had one [05:51] !info xchat [05:51] loke: depends on your love: gui or cmdline [05:51] I found it on accident [05:51] xchat: IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8.4-0ubuntu5 (gutsy), package size 300 kB, installed size 808 kB [05:51] kitofhawaii: nope [05:51] I prefer cli so I chose irssi =] [05:51] xLE: pidgin!

[05:53] quad core..duos? [05:54] either way the answer is yes [05:54] It should andrew [05:54] awesome lol [05:54] hajiki: "sudo gedit /etc/usplash.conf" and change it to something your monitor can handle, like xres=1024 and yres=768 [05:54] must have been the bad ram causing my problems before [05:54] peterretief: you can always try to out the ready-to-use package from ubuntu, by reinstalling it [05:54] excuse me what do i have to install to get django orking with apache? [05:54] kitofhawaii: ok, Done [05:55] qwerkus: i guess - [05:55] hey everyone [05:55] hi [05:55] hajiki: i'd hate to say it but try a reboot [05:55] anyone experienced with installing compiz fusion? [05:55] kitofhawaii: hehe, ok [05:55] hajiki: actually...hold on.. [05:56] kitofhawaii: ok [05:56] elinsurrecto which version of ubuntu [05:56] hajiki: try this...from terminal, type "sudo usplash"...to get back here, ctrl-alt-f7 [05:56] i have 7.10 32bit [05:56] hajiki: see if usplash comes up [05:56] elinsurrecto: 7.10 has fusion installed by default. [05:56] elinsurrecto it comes build it.. just enabled the 3d stuff in apperances :) [05:57] i just did the sudo usplash and got the normal black screen [05:57] i got to visual effects right? [05:57] woo @ kitofhawaii thanks for that uspalsh thingo :P been pissing me off for a while.. stupid i810 [05:57] AndrewB: lol [05:57] kitofhawaii: nothing just a black screen [05:57] when i choose extra and click preferences it wont do anything [05:58] hajiki: ok try putting a lower resolution, heck go all the way down to xres=800, yres=600 [05:59] just wondering: how many of you use the "automatic update" feature of ubuntu ? [05:59] kitofhawaii: OMG it worked with 800x600!!! [05:59] there is an automatic update feature? [05:59] I do .. but I always review [05:59] I simply can t stand auto-stuff - and always do it the old way ... [05:59] hajiki: lol well try rebooting now [06:00] apt-get update && apt-get upgrade is roughly automatic? [06:00] ok [06:00] i just get normal effects [06:00] qwerkus: i do it all the time...helps me keep up on when something breaks in case a client calls about it :) [06:01] well; i was just tired about the "gosh, where is that nice feature of app xy i used to love ???" [06:02] i think, for a proper end-user update, one should first read most of the release notes [06:02] kitofhawaii: IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [06:03] kitofhawaii: Thank you SO much! [06:03] How can I search and add wireless networks on Ubuntu (gnome). I also want to add some network as 'favorites' if it possible. Thankful for help! [06:03] hajiki: hurrah hurrah :) [06:03] loke: thanks for your help. I quit Firefox and suddenly dev/dsp is free [06:03] eifzon: use a tool called wlanconfig [06:03] makes life easy in Wifi [06:03] qwerkus: ok, is it just to apt-get ? [06:03] loke: apparently Firefox doesn't report its usage of /dev/dsp, or possibly flash player is to blame [06:04] Ah, odd. [06:04] yup [06:04] howdy [06:04] Oh, flash very likely. [06:04] Flash is...annoying relating to sound. [06:04] eifzon: apt-get install wlanconfig [06:04] not found [06:04] thanks for the assistance [06:04] Np. Glad you got it worked out. [06:05] I can make ubuntu desktop server nfs and samba and printers,....right? I don't need to use servers for this [06:05] serve* [06:05] tubetop: Server edition is just a bare install, the desktop edition is the same with additional packages and a GUI. [06:05] any way to enable the 3D effects i cant get it to work [06:05] >.< [06:05] i like guis [06:05] depends on your card and system :) [06:05] ;) [06:06] eifzon: STOP [06:06] tubetop: yes you can use ubuntu desktop to serve out nfs and samba [06:06] eifzon: it is wifi-radar [06:06] does anyone know the program to have your windows sit on your desktop and we you move your curser over one it comes forward [06:06] eifzon: wlanconfig is the atheros driver tool; sry ! [06:06] pingu, that's likely a compiz plugin [06:07] qwerkus: ok, do you know anything other? [06:07] hiya peeps. I need some help setting up vnc to control a pc at work [06:07] eifzon: well; i do it via scripting [06:07] using iwconfig [06:07] how do i check if a movie .avi file is actually an .avi file not just data named as an avi file before i finnish downloading it? [06:07] ok, but how can I do this the easy way? [06:08] I set the pc at work as a host [06:08] kitofhawaii: this was abaars, but it was taken...LOL. I got the two shares up, I can see them, but when I copy into them from windows I get an error about permissions. For the samba users I add I want the shares to act just like an attached USB HD [06:08] and can use vnc with local computers (on the same network) [06:08] pingu_: system -> preferences -> windows, check the button "select windows when the mouse moves over them" [06:08] eifzon: easy way: wifi-radar [06:08] but not at home [06:08] gtkwifi is better than wifi-radar [06:09] Anyone run xen here? [06:09] qwerkus: ty, will try it [06:09] eifzon: less easy way, adding a #!/bin/bash script in your /etc/inid.d directory [06:09] boontoo, could do 'file whatever.avi' [06:09] * loke is sleeping now. No more questions!! [06:10] so if I go to ubuntu desktop and I want to do DVD burning of movies...would KDE or Gnome based ubuntu be better...any preferences in the crowd? [06:10] thanks qwerkus [06:10] tubetop: No difference. You can install packages from either. [06:10] I like Slax. [06:10] * loke is sleeping for real this time. [06:10] eff this game! you win grandma! its 4 in the morning and im stuck on baltic with crack! [06:10] kitofhawaii: thats kinda it but instead of just having them anywhere they line up and shrink [06:10] (going to sleep) [06:10] Dr_willis it shows as : Data, that means that its a fake avi? or do you need to wait for it to finnish downloading as maybe all files are data until they are complete? [06:10] tubetop, proberly wont matter. :) Of course finding the proper tools to do the video burning may be a bit harder. [06:10] you kinda have to see it [06:10] Please i need some help with StreamTuner, thread here, thanks http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3937867#post3937867 === jrgotti is now known as jr|sleep [06:10] pingu_: beyond that...i do not know of another solution offhand [06:10] one of my friends has it but cant remember where he got it [06:10] let's try this...

[06:14] loke: ah... [06:14] i installed gutsy new and now have problems, before my streamtuner worked fine, but i changed to SUSE inbetween === boontoo is now known as libqt4 [06:14] tanka_001, go to http://erusan.googlepages.com [06:14] hi [06:14] it has all the codecs and how to install them [06:15] I have a question [06:15] or should I install from desktop cd install [06:15] pingu_: loke's right. i have my compiz fusion set up to scale when i move the mouse to the upper right hand side of the screen. it shrinks all the windows and hovers them until i pick one [06:15] tanka_001: sure, try greentel's suggestion [06:15] tubetop, try installing ubuntu-desktop [06:15] pingu_: i guess i didn't recognize it by the description (kinda used to having it there :) ) [06:15] tanka_001: the program easyubuntu does automatic codec downloading, I believe, as well [06:15] Ubuntu desktop is a meta-package. try gnome-desktop [06:16] logankoester: I take it you tried sudo, which is the obvious thing to do [06:16] robotic: Yeah [06:16] logankoester: can you paste your exact message? [06:16] k...thanks so ubuntu desktop has gnome-desktop in it right? [06:16] easyubuntu where do I find that?? [06:16] robotic: I can't even get firefox to start, it segfaults now [06:16] robotic: $ sudo dpkg --configure -a dpkg: failed to write status record about `dash' to `/var/lib/dpkg/status': No space left on device [06:16] lol [06:16] ubuntu-desktop is what you get with a normal desktop install, so yeah, it includes the complete gnome package [06:16] i'm in XCHAT, how do I get rid of the red line? [06:17] tanka_001:did you try to search for "codec" in synaptic? === greente1 is now known as greenT [06:17] robotic: $ sudo apt-get remove openoffice E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [06:17] tanka_001: that should give you the gstreamer codecs [06:17] The red line is good. :) err. what red line? [06:17] where is the synaptic [06:17] logankoester: is your disk full? [06:17] it separates text, in the chat. [06:17] robotic: my hdd no, but I'm running from the livecd [06:17] nm I found it [06:17] the problem is that he has to add medibuntu if he wants codecs, so simply searching repos won't show anything [06:18] xLE, yes.. thats a feature. :) to let ya know when ya left/lost focus/stopped watching a channel.. its in the settings. [06:18] greenT: can he download the medibuntu package? [06:18] how can I make the window borders smaller [06:18] ? [06:18] it's an entire repository where codecs are kept, since ubuntu can't host the codecs it has to be added manually [06:18] logankoester: OK, then it's trying to write things locally to the hard drive, but can't because the 'hard drive' is the boot drive, the CD [06:18] u can't download and save a big pack on the live cd will not work [06:18] there are instructions for installing all the codecs at http://erusan.googlepages.com [06:18] tanka_001: did you catch that? you'll need to add a repository to get the codecs [06:19] oh is it [06:19] cool, i'll try and get used to it now. [06:19] tanka_001: see the page greenT just posted [06:19] tanka_001: it will explain it [06:19] robotic: What would the solution be, then? Obviously I can't free up space, because I can't use apt-get [06:19] xLE, open 2 or more channels.. then when ya switch - the red line gets drawn where you left/switched :) [06:19] it's cut-and-paste, only three lines, and you'll be able to play everything [06:19] logankoester: just so I understand your config - you have a local windows drive, and you livebooted to ubuntu?

[06:21] Firefox segfaults, Install segfaults.... [06:21] logankoester: is rebooting an option? [06:21] nothing works, because the ram is full [06:21] yea i guess [06:21] logankoester: how much RAM do you have? [06:21] i have the compiz fusion icon in the top of the screen [06:21] I guess I could reboot [06:21] but when i click setting manager it wont do anything [06:21] tubetop: 7.10 is feisty [06:21] not a fun solution though [06:21] How can I burn a bootable ISO in ubuntu?

[06:23] xLE, look for 4 little dots on the right hand side. :) thats the grabber handle.

[06:23] jq: :( [06:23] thanks [06:23] mhm [06:23] robotic: nothing is eating up ram, the problem is that the "disk" is full... but the disk only exists in ram, because it's a livecd [06:23] jq: any idea why it wasn't bootable? gnomebaker should do it [06:24] greenT i have a trendnet tew-423pi [06:24] xLE, heck - im used to not seeing it.. with 1000+ users.. its not too handy :) [06:24] yeah haha.

I used the "Burn Image CD" tool in gnomebaker and it's just not booting. And i've tried booting other bootables and it works. [06:24] tubetop: software or hardware?

I don't want to use the latest version for any other apps, other than git. [06:25] *It's a drum controller. [06:25] jq': Hmm, I think you have to select a specific option to "make bootable" somewhere in gnomebaker [06:26] robotic: I couldn't find anything like that :/ [06:26] wot is the winamp of ubuntu? [06:26] I know they've already gotten it to work on Mac and Windows (the PS3 one, anyway) but I figured Linux would be easier or at least more customizable as a midi controller. [06:26] godzaii: audacity, mplayer, or rhythmbox [06:26] jq': OK, let's ask around [06:26] which one has a strem riper? [06:26] Does anyone know if you have to make a CD explicitly bootable? [06:26] stream [06:27] streamripper for ubuntu? [06:27] booster614, if you have the windows driver cd, it should be easy [06:27] Hello, I was just using Firefox, when X just restarted for no reason, does anyone know why X would do this? [06:27] greenT i have the cd [06:27] ok, here are instructions from ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [06:27] but i think i can break it down for you [06:27] tubetop: To burn DVDs, you can use gnomebaker, or just do it inside Ubuntu by dragging the files to a DVD (I think) [06:27] Also, I had evince open. [06:28] howd do i rip streams in ubuntu? [06:28] robotic: Unless you know how to repair a dvd so I can use the original disk :/ [06:28] Anyone run xen here?

[06:28] jq': believe it or not, scrubbing with toothpaste sometimes works [06:28] booster614, copy the .inf and .sys files from the driver cd (should match) to your home folder, install ndiswrapper and ndiswrapper-utils, then run ndiswrapper -i FILENAME.inf [06:28] robotic: Tried the toothpaste already :P [06:28] and then modprobe ndiswrapper [06:28] Hey guys.:) [06:28] Is there a program for trying out sql commands?

[06:29] is the only issue that it won't boot up when you put it in? [06:29] I don't wanna download the entire oracle file so I was looking for *lite alternatives [06:29] well it doesn't matter where you put them, you just need to access them, and home folder is easiest to get to [06:29] robotic: Yes.

[06:31] thanks botutu [06:31] jq': what's the ISO you're trying to burn? === fideas_ is now known as iBsEe [06:32] jq': maybe the ISO itself has to be a bootable ISO [06:32] tanka_001, i belive the basics are enabling the medibuntu repositories and installing the libdvdcss2 package.

[06:36] booster614, pidgin doesn't let me do private irc chats...do you have a jabber or aim account?

[06:48] noname6243: mac hardware uses EFI which means installing GRUB to be able to boot Ubuntu is slightly more annoying than on commodity hardware. if you're abandoning OSX completely anyway, it's not worth bothering with. if you want OSX still though, then yeah go for it [06:48] just got this torrent: "Cooking the Japanese Way" http://www.mininova.org/tor/1003868 but it's password protected, is there a way that i can crack it?

[06:50] noname6243: i recall being told by a mac user that you have to use LILO instead of GRUB, but i think there are GRUB extensions to do EFI. in that case, i think you need to use the Super GRUB Disk, but as i dont own/need/want a mac, i've never had to do it myself [06:50] xLE: I'm willing to learn with you -- do you have any idea how to start on setting up a chroot jail? [06:51] noname6243: i think you use bootcamp for dualboot and lilo alone for single-linux-boot [06:51] yeah it would be dualbooting [06:51] How do I automatically run a script at bootup?? [06:51] robotic, i have absolutely no clue.

[06:52] fxfitz, go to Sytem > Preferences > Sessions [06:52] hrmm, the first time he ever tried linux, and he invented unix? [06:52] that doesn't make much sense [06:52] mozart: unfortunately, I think you're in the wrong channel for that! [06:52] i'll have a look for it. [06:52] noname6243: he used unix before then [06:52] xle: sure [06:53] noname6243: probably bsd unix [06:53] fxfitz, then add a new command in the form of 'sh /path/to/script.sh' [06:53] fxfitz, then it will run the script when you boot [06:53] yeah.

[06:54] how do I specify wifiX as interface <---- short version of the question =) [06:55] bullgard4: adding to what robotic said, examples of "access rights" would be that they can make sound come out of the speakers or access your cd rom drive [06:55] does anyone know how to make the video's on nfl.com to work? i just get a blank screen when i press play. thanks [06:55] jones, do you have flash? [06:55] jones: can you access videos on other sites? ie, youtube? [06:55] jones, like the one right on the main page? [06:56] anybody know how to specify wifiX as interface? I'm using madwifi-ng and I need to do that... [06:56] is this a good place to ask ati/fglrx config questions [06:56] how do I create a file and also the path. I thought I might use "touch a/b/c/a.txt" but the paths have to exist === esoterik is now known as [esoterik] [06:57] ramza3: not sure about with touch, but if you want to make a longer path than just 1 directory, you can use mkdir -p /first/second/third/fourth/ === ubuntu_ is now known as logankoester [06:58] macogw: yea but I thought there was a way to create a file and those directories [06:58] ramza3: you can string together two commands on the command line... although that's not quite what you want, I assume [06:58] anybody know how to specify wifiX as interface? I'm using madwifi-ng and I need to do that... [06:58] robotic: Thank you for explaining. I need to further investigate, though. -- But I do know now in what direction to look out. Thank you. [06:59] Is there any way resizing an NTFS partition from 190gb to 160gb (only 63gb is in use) with the ubuntu installer could damage data? [06:59] ramza3: ie mkdir a/b/c; touch a.txt [06:59] is there an ubuntu wifi channel or something? [06:59] because I need to specify wifiX as interface, and I have no idea what that means... [06:59] logankoester: if you didnt defrag first and resized over a chunk of data, yes [06:59] bullgard4: No problem, good luck! [06:59] louist/robotic/greent: yes i am able to watch all other videos no problem. the on eon the front page works. not this one though [06:59] http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d804f7e5f [07:00] robotic: or mkdir `basename $abc` ; touch $abc [07:00] Iogankoester: yes, if your machine powers off, or something happens... [07:00] hmm. works for me. i dowloaded all of the restricted codecs with Automatix, jones [07:00] Iogankoester: its the risk of partitioning, a good idea to backup [07:00] logankoester: scguy318 was at you [07:00] !automatix | louist [07:00] ramza3: won't that create the files and those directories? [07:00] louist: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [07:00] I can't really reccomend automatix, but there you go [07:00] macogw: Thank you for your comment. I know that Unix groups are used for accessing sound or my cdrom. Is this here a 'group' feature too? [07:00] macogw: hmm, I didn't defrag first.... but I don't exactly have 2 years to wait for the machine to defrag [07:00] scguy318. thanks [07:00] scguy318: that's a little L [07:00] scguy318, please go ahead and read what I post next time ... [07:01] macogw: ah, my font renders I and little L the same [07:01] anywhoo... [07:01] louist: ? [07:01] jones, i'm getting a blank video area as well...it's flash, so it's not like you're missing anything, it's probably just the site having problems with finding the video [07:01] nvm lol [07:01] no offense meant [07:01] louist: none taken [07:01] Do I need the My SQL server installed to get the front end for PHP which allows to view internet usage ? I have apache2 installed and php5-gd and libapache-mod-php [07:01] scguy318: -autocompletion :) only one of them will auto-complete: the right one [07:02] filled-void: Could you be more specific on what you mean by "internet usage"? I'm not sure I understand. [07:02] louist/greent: i would rather not use automatix. it is always thos way. if u choose any of the game clips on the right side of the main page none of them will work. is there a wa y to cross reference what i have vs. one of u 2? [07:02] jones: what's your issue? [07:03] does anyone know how to make the video's on nfl.com to work? i just get a blank screen when i press play. thanks [07:03] scguy318: a specific site's flash fails for him, but every other flash works [07:03] jones: looks like the problem might be server-side. i have the latest flash and it doesn't work for me either [07:03] jones: lemme test [07:03] robotic, I use vnstat to monitor internet usage. Theres a front end available in php. Which shows you basically what you see in vnstat but in the browser [07:03] anyone know how to specify wifiX as interface? [07:03] the flash in gutsy is a little outdated already [07:03] louist said that he is able to view it no prob [07:03] jonoes, it's not an issue with anything on your computer...it's a server problem [07:04] Hi. Is there a way to switch all of the java alternatives on my system from gcj to Sun's? [07:04] louist: i would give a little more detail about what u are trying to do and someone may be able to help [07:04] jones, it's only flash that you need, not any codecs (it's a flash video) [07:04] filled-void: OK, what makes you think it will need mysql? [07:04] I'm trying to get my logitech g5 mouse working with 7.10. How do I restart imwheel without restarting my whole machine [07:04] blahdeblah2: sudo update-java-alternatives [07:04] marko: is that a driver? [07:04] marko: if so "sudo modprobe -r imwheel && sudo modprobe imwheel" [07:05] robotic, Im not sure just curious if apache2 needed it to display the data within the vnstat database [07:05] imwheel is the application that handles the extra mouse buttons [07:05] marko, do 'killall imwheel' [07:05] then just type imwheel again [07:05] jones: I presume you've installed or attempted to install flashplugin-nonfree? [07:05] I just patched my wifi driver with madwifi-ng, and the site says that in order for it to work with aircrack, i have to specify wifiX as interface (whatever that means). I tried running aircrack, and it has an error saying I need to do the same thing [07:05] louist: did u say that u were able to view the nfl videos's? [07:05] jones: when I went to the NFL site and clicked Videos, some US Army ad played [07:05] scguy318: i am pretty sure let me go look [07:06] jones: so it seems to work [07:06] scguy318: cant do that anymore. have to install it from sun's site. that package downloads it and the md5's dont match because sun updated theirs [07:06] Can anyone tell me the suggested ubuntu way of upgrading my kernel to 2.6.23? (I downloaded the tarball, made a kpkg, but that's where things went awry...) [07:06] macogw: you mean Adobe :P [07:06] scguy318: sure...then [07:06] filled-void: I don't think so -- it looks like vnstat uses text databases, not mysql [07:06] jones, yes, on my other computer (also ubuntu) [07:06] macogw: there's a package in proposed, and bug page has a package [07:06] scguy318: i mean "sure....them" [07:06] macogw: for latest [07:06] macogw: moment [07:06] robotic, thanks for confirming :D [07:06] scguy318: most people dont enable proposed, i dont think [07:06] macogw: i know, but lemme link [07:06] louist, can you view the other link he sent? the front page one he can see, but not the other link he sent [07:06] macogw: there's a few debs on the Launchpad bug [07:07] scguy318: i have proposed enabled for me [07:07] greenT, no. Odd... [07:07] Mondragon: not sure there is an "ubuntu way"...just compile it [07:07] filled-void: Sure thing! [07:07] Well, apparently something changed in initrd.img between 2.6.xx and 2.6.23 [07:07] and I can't get the thing to install [07:07] Dependency is not satisfiable: libapt-pkg-libc6.4-6-3.53 [07:07] Mondragon: i guess maybe you can checkinstall instead of make install so you can remove it from apt [07:07] jones, louist can't view the video either. it's only a server issue, not an ubuntu or flash issue. in other words, you can't view the video because nfl.com is messed up, so you just plain can't see it right now [07:07] Is there a command to recursively set all files to 0644 and all directories to 0755? [07:07] anybody ever use the madwifi-ng patch for Atheros wifi drivers? [07:07] well I killed all imwheel and it did not do what I wanted :( [07:08] er, find . -type d -exec chmod 0644 {} \; [07:08] probably [07:08] Mondragon: ah idk then [07:08] er [07:08] what did you want it to do, marko? [07:08] I want to set my thumb button as my browser back button [07:08] scguy: i searched in synaptic and it did not find it. is that in mediabuntu repors or somewhere else? are u able to play this clip? http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d804f7e5f [07:08] oops, backwards, but that should do it [07:08] and the tilt left and right to switch tabs [07:08] find . -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \; [07:08] and [07:08] find . -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \; [07:08] greent: hmmmm. it has always been this way though. for weeks and weeks [07:08] jones: flashplugin-nonfree is in universe [07:09] jones: its in universe, i think [07:09] macogw: Thanks - i thought i'd already done that, but it seems to be fixed up now... [07:09] jones: enable the "community supported" repository [07:09] so sudo apt-get install flashplugin-jnonfree right? [07:09] jones, it happens...but i just tried it on a windows pc, too, and it's not working. it's definitely a server issue they're having [07:09] greenT: I have a logitech g5 mouse [07:09] jones, if you can see the front page video, you have flash installed [07:09] jones: without the j yes [07:10] marko, i don't know about your specific mouse, but try the instructions at http://erusan.googlepages.com/archhowto.html [07:10] greenT: I tried various things in the forums but they set up the mouse to have the tilt wheel go back and forward in a browser [07:10] they explain how imwheel works [07:10] * smilodon would like ubuntu with a different color scheme [07:10] macogw: for your information, http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10761023/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_i386.deb for 32-bit [07:10] jones: can't play, I suspect server side [07:10] jones: install what scguy linked [07:10] jones: Flash loads, server fails [07:10] can anybody give me a hand? I'm trying to figure out how to crack WEP encryption, and I'm stuck trying to patch my wifi driver === dfletcher is now known as dfletcher|Zzz [07:10] which probably isn't a very good start... lol [07:10] im using ubuntu 7.10, how do I open port 49125 UDP ? [07:11] I have installed tint (ttm, a panel, I'm running openbox) and the transparency of the panel is really bad. how to fix? [07:11] macogw: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10804892/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_amd64.deb for 64-bit, just reference [07:11] jones: the one in the regular repos (unless you enable proposed updates) doesnt work with adobe's site [07:11] norty: in your router? [07:11] sure [07:11] has anyone else been getting libcairo updates the last few days? [07:11] smilodon: will themes do it? [07:11] norty: are you direct connect to the internet? [07:11] jones: it tries to download but fails because they changed the file [07:11] flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version. [07:11] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded. [07:11] orange and brown doesn't do it for me :P [07:11] macogw, he has flash installed, it's a server issue on their part, no one else can play the videos, either [07:11] looks like i already have it [07:11] scguy318, I am connected to a wireless router linksys 54g [07:11] greenT: I'll take a look at that [07:12] robotic probably [07:12] Hi.. Firefox isn't starting for me .. I get this error in a terminal "Segmentation Fault (core dumped) ... what can I do? [07:12] norty: no ports are being listened to on ubuntu by default, but theyre also not something you need to manually open. if you install a service to run on that port, it will open [07:12] norty: ah, then you should go to http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1 and entr eyour oruter configuration [07:12] well everyone i really appreciate the help. it is off to bed time. [07:12] seamus7: yay C++! [07:12] can anyone help me with compiz? [07:12] I forgot what file includes all Unix groups my computer maintains. 'apropos group' did not enlighten me as it outputs too much stuff. Similarly, the GNOME Search Tool. [07:12] dr_willis: you helped me install skype on mom's desktop a few mins ago. now i am having a problem installing linspires cnr plugin on this laptop. getting the following msg: [07:12] Dependency is not satisfiable: libapt-pkg-libc6.4-6-3.53 any idea what i should do? [07:12] marko, try installing xev [07:12] im trying to use Azureus and it says i need to open that port [07:12] macogw: huh? [07:12] seamus7: c++ segfaults more than c :) segfaults are the wonderful, useless errors c and c++ give [07:13] it tells you what the button numbers are so you can set up imwheel properly [07:13] i'm trying to install an nvidia graphics card but after the grub boot screen, the screen goes black [07:13] seamus7: try uninstalling and reinstalling firefox. it may have gotten corrupted [07:13] can anyone help? [07:13] macogw: the real story is that a segfault is the result of dereferencing a null pointer or a pointer to a page that does not belong to a process [07:13] seamus7: that worked when i had it happen [07:13] walla, what card do you have? [07:13] macogw: this can happen in any compiled program [07:13] seamus7: firefox is good but it doesn't always work the first time [07:13] norty, you have to get into your router and open the port in there [07:13] nvidia geforce 4 [07:13] macogw: oh ... I'm on Gutsy with the latest firefox in the repositories ... I reinstalled firefox yesterday and it corrected the problem but it just happened again [07:14] i used to have it working with feisty [07:14] walla, have you tried the restricted manager? [07:14] jones: I don't think it's your Flash, the video is broken apparently [07:14] scguy318: yeah but that makes 0 sense to end-users, and is still a useless error message. "something got free() before i was done with it. the darned thing wont tell me WHAT though" [07:14] i can't get that far [07:14] macowgw: I tried starting it as root and that fixed the problem yesterday [07:14] can anyone help with a (lack thereof) sound problem? [07:14] How can I get the operating system and version number via the command line? [07:14] seamus7: WEIRD [07:15] macogw: oh well I'll just reinstall again [07:15] seamus7: sometimes I have to start firefox several times [07:15] seamus7: um rename your .mozilla directory (inside home) and see if that fixes it. you might have screwed up settings maybe? [07:15] fitztrev: lsb_release -a [07:15] walla, you mean you're trying to install the driver, or you're physically trying to install the card in the machine? [07:15] if i plug in the graphics card it screen goes black, and if i try and access retricted manager without the graphics card plugged in it tells me i don't have any hardware that needs the restricted manager [07:15] driver [07:15] anybody know what it means to sepcify wifiX as interface? [07:15] i installed nvidia-glx before i plugged the card in === _etotheip is now known as etotheipi [07:16] then i shut it down, inserted card, and then got a black screen after grub menu [07:16] walla, try changing the video driver in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to say "nv", which is the free nvidia driver [07:16] having a problem with sound. There is no sound since last update. anyone else know how to fix this? [07:16] then the pc should boot with the nvidia card [07:17] louist: dont know how, but it means add something thats like eth0, eth1, ath0, etc. and make the first be wifi0, 2nd is wifi1, etc. and has something to do with /etc/network/interfaces [07:17] but how do i get to that without being able to login? [07:17] walla can you hit ctrl alt f1 and use the command line? [07:17] walla, when grub comes up, hit the E key to edit the grub line [07:17] is there a simple way to resync the linux users with the samba users after adduser? [07:17] macow, is that like defining which card to use or something? [07:18] and add the word 'single' to the end of the line, then boot from that line and it will put you into a command prompt [07:18] louist: something like that [07:18] you can use nano to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [07:18] fen, modify your useradd script to create a smb user [07:18] macogw, any idea where I could find out more? [07:18] ok, i'll try that [07:18] louist: for me, eth0 is my wired connection and eth1 is my wireless. people with atheros-based cards get ath0 for their wireless i think [07:18] scguy318: thank you [07:18] rtt [07:18] macogw... yeah I think that's what it is right now, but I need to change it to wifi0 or something [07:19] i have no sound since last update with gutsy, anyone help? [07:19] well it says wifiX ... whatever the heck that is [07:19] louist: X is a variable [07:19] honeking, are you on a laptop? [07:19] desktop [07:19] macogw ... oh yeah. duh. lol [07:19] my laptop's sound works [07:19] i have gutsy on both [07:19] What file contains the Unix groups which my computer maintains? [07:19] do i add a new line after quiet? [07:19] louist: you'll sometimes see /dev/sdX which means /dev/sda or /dev/sdb or /dev/WhateverTheHeckYourHardDriveIsCalled [07:20] bullgard4: /etc/group [07:20] walla, don't add a new line, just a space then the word 'single' [07:20] on a different note, does anybody know of linux driver for a connexant modem? [07:20] it boots into single user mode, which is just a root terminal [07:20] i've searched far and wide... lol [07:20] louist: i think the winmodem driver is there by default [07:20] what would it matter if it was a laptop? [07:20] macogw: in ubuntu? [07:21] laptops have issues with the alsa driver messing up their sound cards [07:21] everything worked fine until i updated this morning [07:21] does it need to be configured in any way? [07:21] then my sound doesn't work [07:21] what if i boot into recovery mode? [07:21] i would just suggest checking all your settings (making sure it's not muted, making sure all yuour inputs are volumed up, making sure you're using digital/analog according to your speakers, etc) [07:21] the controllers work and everything on screen says it's working [07:21] scguy318: Thank you very much for helping. [07:21] just no sound [07:21] doesn't that give me command line? [07:22] i already checked all that [07:22] bullgard4: np [07:22] walla, i think recovery will boot you into a gui, right? if it boots you into a prompt, that will work fine [07:22] greenT: Recovery Mode gives you single-user prompt [07:22] macogw: I reinstalled firefox and it enabled me to start firefox ... but I rebooted firefox and now it's doing it again .. nothing [07:22] well then recovery mode should work just fine [07:22] it doesn't work with oss either [07:23] yup recovery mode work [07:23] honeking, i don't know...i would ask on the forums [07:23] I've installed JeOS and now I can't login since the keyboard isnt working. It worked during the installation [07:23] greenT: okay, thanks [07:23] and i ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [07:23] did it work? [07:24] no, it still lists my driver as intel (motherboard) [07:24] I'm installing ubuntu and i'm a bit confused about the partitioning: what does a /boot partition have on it? [07:24] what does Xorg -configure do? [07:24] as opposed to / and /home? [07:24] i know /home is the user files [07:24] but doesn't / usually have the boot stuff too? [07:24] Hi, is there any way to have opengl apps run smoothly with Compiz enabled? I'm getting very low frame rates. [07:25] nite all [07:25] command not found [07:25] hi. how can I change options available in the logout dialog? the hibernate option disappeared and I want to restore it. [07:25] oops missed the space [07:25] Anyone else having issues with Firefox not booting ... I have reinstalled but that fix is only temporary ..? [07:25] oh nope, still bad command [07:25] louist: you don't need a /boot if you don't want it. it's typically a small partition for booting linux, but you don't need it, so long as your root partition is readable by the kernel [07:25] somebody using conky and willing to give me a hint? [07:25] try just manually editing the xorg.conf file to say 'nv' for the driver if you have to...it's the free driver for nvidia cards [07:26] greenT: nevermind, i fixed it. thanks again for trying [07:26] dooglus, what advantage does a /boot partition offer, then? [07:26] glad it's working [07:26] i can leave the identifier as the intel thing thought right? [07:26] multiple kernels or something? [07:27] im using an isa sound card (sb awe16) but i'm not getting any sound. sometimes i do but sometimes i don't anyone know what is causing this? im using feisty [07:27] yeah, identifier doesn't really matter [07:27] dooglus, I plan on dual booting with xp, so should I specify a /boot or just forget about it? [07:27] it's just a name for X to refer to [07:27] louist: if you want your / partition to be encrypted maybe? or maybe you want to use a filesystem like reiser4 [07:27] tylerjgilles: whoa...classic. is that awe32 or sb16? [07:27] before the screen goes black it says "Cannot Display This Video Mode" [07:27] if that helps [07:27] louist: I dual boot XP without a separate partition. I only have 2 partitions: a huge / for linux (including /home and /boot) and a huge C: for windows [07:27] oh the changing the driver to nv, fixed it, thanks a bunch [07:28] whats main difference between desktop and server editions? I want Xwindow but im going to from lots of daemons.. [07:28] glad to help, walla [07:28] kitofhawaii: not sure how do i check? [07:28] louist: I don't reinstall ubuntu from scratch, so I don't care about having a separate /home [07:28] dooglus: cool thanks, mate. Do you happen to know how to encrypt ubuntu? I've done it via LVM with the alternate install CD, but only the live cd works in this computer [07:28] tylerjgilles: do you remember what the card looked like when it went in? did it have slots for memory on it? [07:28] louist: I've never tried. there are various web pages out there though. try the ubuntu wiki thing [07:29] !encryption [07:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about encryption - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:29] louist: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto maybe? [07:29] dooglud: right on. thanks mate. [07:29] kitofhawaii: it says CT1745A on it [07:30] kitofhawaii: doesn't look like theres any place to put memory [07:30] any1 out there [07:30] Hyperblade: no of course :P === antdedyet is now known as jtraylor [07:31] tylerjgilles: ok sounds like sb16 i'd guess...awe32 had memory slots on it === firekool_ is now known as firekool [07:31] How can I start a new x server [07:31] kitofhawaii: it says awe on the card. is ab16 awe? === jtraylor is now known as antdedyet [07:32] dose any1 know ov a good download site? [07:32] kitofhawaii: s/ab16/sb16/ [07:32] TylerJGillies: it might be an sb32... [07:32] TigranG, if you just need to restart, hit ctrl+backspace., or try ctrl+f4 for a new server (f keys switch between servers) [07:33] I've installed JeOS and now I can't login since the keyboard isnt working. It worked during the installation. [07:33] ctrl+f4 doesnt work [07:33] TylerJGillies: in terminal, type alsamixer and tell me if it comes up [07:33] sorry, i meant ctrl+alt+f4 [07:33] kitofhawaii: it comes up [07:33] tylerjgilles: i.e. what info it says [07:34] kitofhawaii: sb16 === antdedyet is now known as jtraylor [07:34] TylerJGillies: can you turn up the PCM and Front vols all the way? [07:34] <_a3_> How do you replace windows XT with Linux, I can't seem to get the bios set to boot CD/ROM first [07:34] <_a3_> XP... [07:35] TylerJGillies: and i'd assume 100% you have the speakers plugged into the right puka right? (just to confirm) :) [07:35] greenT: thanks, and my problem is that when I run compiz when playing a game (more like testing a game as I'm making one currently), i get very low frame rates. So I wanted to know if I can run compiz but still get my game to work at the same time. [07:35] kitofhawaii: yeah they were working earlier. the sound works sometimes it just stops working sometimes and i don't know why === jtraylor is now known as jonathant [07:35] How can I give pop3_unseen different colors in conky? 0=white, everything else red [07:35] kitofhawaii: the sound controls in alsamixer are acting all bus up [07:36] _a3_: check your mother board manual, some board requires you to press a key to select a boot media. mine is === jonathant is now known as jtraylor [07:36] <_6502_> Hello.... it has been a few days now that every time I boot my PC (gusty) adept update downloads and installs an update of libcairo2. I'm thinking that they're not really releasing a new version daily, so what could be wrong and how to fix it ? [07:36] <_a3_> okay ty [07:37] samba is driving me insane! [07:37] TylerJGillies: it might just be old/breaky...that's a classic card though :) [07:37] I just want it to recognise a new user [07:37] TylerJGillies: i retired my sb16 12 years ago and my awe32 8 years ago :) though the awe32 came back in service for midi [07:37] kitofhawaii: blah computers get outdated too fast. my video card is like 10 years old === jtraylor is now known as antdedyet [07:38] hello [07:38] is anyone else having problems with python-setuptools ? [07:38] I am [07:38] pkgremove: package python-setuptools is not installed [07:38] it won't remove [07:38] won't reinstall [07:38] and everytime I try to install anything, it complains about it [07:39] usually, something like subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [07:39] TylerJGillies: i'm with you on that :) but that card has been around long enough for linux drivers to work (heck they worked for me on debian in '96, so i'm sure it's not the driver) [07:39] kitofhawaii: i know its notthe drivers. i think something is hoarding it, i just can't figure out what [07:40] kitofhawaii: gnome sound properties keep saying its busy [07:40] TylerJGillies: ISA is chatty irq wise [07:40] kitofhawaii: gotcha [07:40] kitofhawaii: i reserved irq in bios, does that matter? [07:40] hi... [07:41] TylerJGillies: is your card pnp or does it have jumpers? [07:42] TylerJGillies: do you have windows installed too? [07:42] TylerJGillies: windows can f with the irqs so that linux cant find it after a reboot [07:42] how do i disable the leave/join message from pidgin irc. it's driving me nuts [07:42] nantax: i think thats in one of the plugins [07:42] kitofhawaii: pretty sure its pnp [07:42] macogw: nope linux only [07:43] TylerJGillies: have you tried it without the irq's reserved? [07:43] macogw: how do i do that? [07:43] kitofhawaii: i don't think so. theres something at the base of the pins on here but i don't know if they're jumpers or just what connects the pins to the board [07:43] so does anyone know how to suppress the join/leave msg? [07:44] whats better fewer but wider tables or many but narrower tables? [07:44] i have a backup disk with a bunch of backup sets that are mostly hard links to save space. if i want to replace that disk with a new one can i just do cp -a and it will preserve the links? [07:45] TylerJGillies: well you'd see two or three sets of jumpers, with IRQ and INT next to them, if it weren't pnp...though on an isa sb card, you may have a jumper for pnp [07:45] flash player doesn't work for 64bit system yet. I wonder how many things are currently broken for 64bit [07:45] nantax: you could use a decent irc client [07:45] hmm what if i store alll the possible attributes as flags in an integer [07:45] or bit string [07:46] hello [07:46] then i can serch using masks on that string [07:46] someone use bluefish?? [07:46] nantax: but in seriousness, in the last or 2nd to last menu in pidgin, there's plugins. check them out [07:47] TylerJGillies: does it look like this? http://www.dearhoney.idv.tw/SoundCard/PCISoundCards/sb16-1.jpg (ignore the pci part, that is an isa board) [07:47] What's the use of the 'dictd' group? lastlog shows that it never has been used. [07:47] ls [07:48] bullgard4: dictionary? [07:48] hi! Who have ATI video-card? How to solve hibernate with fglrx driver problem? [07:48] Stafilacok: blacklist it [07:48] hello i am working on a project for school does anyone have a really eye candy snapshot of ubuntu i can use in my presentation? [07:48] I was trying to change to glslideshow screensaver but can't specify which pictures for it to display... how do I do that? [07:48] kitofhawaii: similar not really though [07:48] keoni: i can take one [07:48] macogw, you mean driver? but i need it [07:48] macogw: thanks... lol, i would use xchat but that would make me open two clients, i prefer pidgin [07:48] TylerJGillies: well more so all those jumpers down by the pins [07:49] macogw: Can you elaborate. Of course there is some connection with the word 'dictionary'. That's trivial. [07:49] very eye candysh [07:49] kitofhawaii: on the left hand side? [07:49] does /usr/local/share/icons override /usr/share/icons? [07:49] I did not see the plugin option before because i was looking for it in the buddy list, thank you very much for pointing the right direction [07:49] anyone know if there's like a "bandwidth allocation daemon" ? [07:49] anyone remember the syntax of how to redirect stdout to an open file with dup2? [07:49] TylerJGillies: on the bottom... [07:49] hello [07:50] hello [07:50] kitofhawaii: nope justa couple capacitors [07:50] hi, i'm using ubuntu 7 and when trying to mount using fstab i'm getting : cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it. [07:50] riaal: you might have better luck in #bash [07:50] TylerJGillies: the one on the right is for older cdrom support, the pins on top are generally for media connections [07:50] I Hate ATI and this drivers :( [07:50] Ademan, You might be able to do something with squid proxy [07:50] someone use bluefish?? please!! [07:50] keoni: fire, water, cube, reflection, skydome...that enough eye candy? [07:50] Hello, my windows portion of my hard drive is infected with a virus, i need a linux virus scanner to clean my windows portion.. any ideas? [07:50] ya can you get it all on one shot? [07:50] TylerJGillies: ok you probably have an sb16 pnp..maybe try it without the irq reserved [07:50] Stafilacok: start > system > restricted drivers [07:50] keoni: just did [07:50] Jordan_U: ah, well i was considering implementing one, just i'd hate to reinvent the wheel lol [07:50] sweet [07:51] keoni: pm me your email address [07:51] Luke, There is clamAV and AVG free [07:51] Luke, ClamAV [07:51] Stafilacok: yes I agree ati sucks no matter what system or device you use, that is very close to fact [07:51] kitofhawaii: ok thanks for the info [07:51] TylerJGillies: irq collision with other pnp devices is possible (since you have a mb with an ISA slot its from a generation of unreliable IRQ) [07:52] Luke, The former is Free ( as in freedom ) software, though it's made for things like linux mail server filtering, so I think it only detects viruses, not removes them [07:52] Luke, The latter is the same as AVG free for win AFIK [07:52] someone? [07:52] TylerJGillies: in those cases it's always better to let the OS take care of assignment...if that doesn't work, it's probably questionable [07:53] kitofhawaii: cool. thanks again [07:53] how can i make ubuntu pretty? [07:53] aurax: have you been able to mount it with just a simple mount command?

[07:55] shay_, Pidgin and AMSN, possibly others also [07:55] shay_, Pidgin - cool [07:55] Jay-Oh-En: use metacity search on gnome look, metacity themes is what you are looking for, and icon sets [07:55] gdm themes too [07:55] Jay-Oh-En: if you got compiz running, try emerald if you're looking to make it ultra purty :) [07:56] something like: [07:56] __ //192.168.0.1/linux /mnt/linux smbfs username=myusername,password=mypassword,uid=500,gid=100,dmask=770,fmask=770 0 0 [07:56] ignore the two __ [07:57] why not use cifs in your fstab entry? [07:57] Jay-Oh-En: and compizconfig-settings-manager to get nice fun ettings [07:57] if you mounted it with that [07:57] shay_: kopete as well [07:57] kitofhawaii: i dont want that stuff [07:58] cifs is slow as hell [07:58] MasterShrek: ill try :( i hate doing this kindof stuff alone [07:58] Jay-Oh-En: then you're stuck with metacity themes...search and hunt there's a huge number out there :) === _MinusSeven is now known as MinusSeven [07:58] themes are overrated. [07:58] does it possible to remote the ubuntu desktop from other computer with windows xp system ? [07:59] shay_: vnc [07:59] shay_ yes [07:59] woh my nick highlight is being triggered :< [07:59] oh well [07:59] kitofhawaii: ok [07:59] Jay-Oh-En: is it a linux samba server you are trying to connect to? did you set a samba password for that user? [07:59] i am new to ubuntu , does this software "vnc" can be installed from the synaptic ? [07:59] "pmi capabilities" doesn't list hibernate. how do I fix it? [07:59] Is there any way I could have the ability to switch between ubuntu and xubuntu on the same system? [07:59] aurax** [07:59] sorry lol [08:00] Proteus: using grub? === Bawls is now known as D|Chem [08:00] masterloki it's windows terminal server and yes i'm using the administrator password [08:00] I cant just have the login screen start a different windows manager? [08:00] Proteus: or just load the xfce window manager...you can switch between the two [08:00] shay_: vnc is a protocol, i think. search in synaptic. you need a vnc server on whichever computer will be controlled and vnc client (tightvnc comes to mind for windows) for whichever does the controlling [08:00] MasterShrek: i don't even know how to debug it, is there a change that the server rejectes smb? [08:00] Proteus: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [08:01] Proteus: exactly :) [08:01] I used to have hibernate, but now it's broken [08:01] aurax: does it work from a windows client? [08:01] Proteus: or find xubuntu-desktop in synaptic [08:01] right, I'm using a xubuntu system, but I'd like to try out ubuntu without a lot of hassle. I'm on an older system and want to know how well it can handle ubuntu [08:01] MasterShrek i guess that yes [08:01] Proteus: oh then install ubuntu-desktop [08:02] macogw, ok [08:02] macogw: and then what do I configure to be able to switch between the two? [08:02] Proteus: if it came with windows 98, it can run ubuntu better than it runs xp, but not well, if that helps any [08:02] Proteus: when you login, click "sessions" and pick GNOME for ubuntu and Xfce for xubuntu [08:03] macogw: ah. As easy as that. Nice! [08:03] I just installed mysql-client-5.0 how do I use it? [08:04] aurax: ive dug up that youll have to use cifs i think [08:05] i installed tightvnc server, does someone knows how i am starting to run the server ? [08:05] aurax: do you have access to the server? you can disable the smb signature thing [08:06] that would prolly do it, i found a forum u can look at [08:06] aurax: http://www.techiesabode.com/forum/posts_w.php?forum_id=1 [08:06] Slow night === dsbfjlbdsj is now known as spartan [08:07] good, time for me to reinstall my xp vm [08:07] shay_: i dont know how to use it, but are the ubuntu and windows computers behind the same router or different ones or none at all? [08:07] hello everybody [08:07] good evening [08:08] macogw: in the same router, (but i am planing also to remote the ubuntu desktop from other places ) [08:08] shay_: you'll have to set up port forwarding on the router to access it from elsewhere [08:08] shay_: you want to be able to remote desktop? [08:08] from outside the router? [08:08] MasterShrek: yes [08:09] MasterShrek checking it atm [08:09] hey folks is there any software which prevents us frm being tracked? [08:09] yea, just get the ports working inside your network, then forward ports from your router [08:09] heard about apple [08:09] macogw: so I'm installing ubuntu-desktop now. I see that it's installing a lot of things like compiz that can't possibly run on this system ..... also, will installing this in any way affect my xfce workspace? [08:09] get the program working [08:09] is it true? [08:10] * MasterShrek needs sleep, cant even type straight [08:10] Proteus: the programs will likely be listed in your menu. compiz will only be enabled if it is possible to run on your system [08:10] spartan: theres tor and moblock which are pretty good afaik [08:10] macogw, Cool! Thanks for the help, man. [08:10] tor is like a proxy or something, and moblock is ip filtering [08:10] wer frm can i get em? [08:11] wo0t [08:11] google, i highly doubt they are in the repos [08:11] * MasterShrek isnt on ubuntu [08:11] MasterShrek➲ Have you tried ipblock? [08:11] nope [08:11] mine is dynamic ip [08:11] will i still be tracked? [08:11] Well I finally got Dualboot to work with Ubuntu at the expense of erasing my C drive lol [08:12] spartan: your isp knows your ip address [08:12] MasterShrek: noppers. [08:12] so u mean they can track me? [08:12] With simple things like printers.. Ubuntu seems to know what printer I have but won't print anything... Does it need drivers just as xp would? [08:12] In fact in the vasy majority of cases they allocate it :) [08:12] MasterShrek➲ http://iplist.sourceforge.net/ [08:12] im downloadng movies [08:13] pirated ones frm torrentspy and othr sites [08:13] spartan➲ http://iplist.sourceforge.net/ [08:13] so.

Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [08:13] Ugh... I've screwed up Ubuntu so much. [08:13] MasterShrek: please help me , what is the simple way to remote ubuntu desktop from windows xp system ?\ [08:13] aurax: you followed that bit about disabling the smb signatures? did you reboot the windows server? [08:13] So use an encrypted network like Waste but that's ot for this channel I would imagine [08:13] shay_: vnc [08:14] Would anyone here advise me to switch to Gentoo? [08:14] sploodge➲ why ? [08:14] sploodge not if you are having problems with ubuntu [08:14] I joined here by mistake sorry - Bye! [08:15] hmm need to reboot it ... ? [08:15] I screwed up Wine, screwed up TiMidity, screwed up Compiz, and screwed up everything. [08:15] sploodge: in #gentoo they would [08:15] Heh. [08:15] how do i enter commands into mysql-client-5.0? [08:15] sploodge well...one by one you fix them...you fix linux, it isn't like windows [08:16] aurax: for any windows machine, a reboot is always needed [08:16] Uh, I'm at a dead end here. [08:16] MasterShrek: how do i get the suspend from gnome to kde so i can suspend on my kde [08:16] I've apt-get remove --purge wine, and it's still broken. [08:16] sploodge: there's always command line if u run into probs with x ;) hehe [08:16] I've rm -r ~/.wine [08:16] MasterShrek: cause hibernation doesnt work only suspend [08:17] Jay-Oh-En: no idea about things like that, suspend and hibernate dont work well in linux afaik [08:17] is there any GOod Ubuntu twitter client [08:17] but suspend works for me [08:17] on gnome === Varka_ is now known as Varka [08:17] like twitterffic in macOSX [08:17] sploodge well..if you have removed as much as possible reinstall it all and then start fixing it. you probably just have a config file you have not yet take care of. [08:17] but i dont know how i would run suspend on kubuntu [08:17] sploodge: is the program even compatible with wine? [08:17] Yeah. [08:17] Wine just suddenly stopped working. [08:17] It worked before [08:18] sploodge but to move to gentoo...it is much more techie than ubuntu and would be harder to get working [08:18] Yeah, but I've used it before :p [08:19] MasterShrek: fixed... [08:19] Hello, my windows portion of my hdd is infected with a virus, what is a linux virus scanner that will rid me of the virus? [08:19] Gentoo's not that hard. emerge this and emerge that.

[08:21] avg should do it from what i heard before [08:22] if i can even get into windows [08:22] its soooo laggy [08:22] its also possible you didnt kill it before [08:22] espicaly cuz im using vista [08:22] some viruses hide while windows is booted [08:22] install avg and give it a try [08:22] i have -.- [08:22] well waht are you expecting?

[09:46] Pirate_Hunter gotta use sudo [09:46] gonzoism: is it fdisk /dev/sda1 to check the partition and no i didn't sudo lol dont worry will try again [09:46] Jay-Oh-En, Wallpapers > 1280x1024 then select highest rated , [09:46] pyrohotdog: do a search in synaptic for linux [09:47] pyrohotdog: it will come up if it dont enable universe repostiorys [09:47] gonzoism: yup it worked its sda1 but now how do i check it for errors [09:47] Help? [09:47] anywho......... I have another issue [09:47] Pirate_Hunter i did look for the way to force fsck on reboot, but didn't see it. [09:47] kousotu➲ I bet Windows would still have it's problems if you fdisk /mbr (dos fdisk) [09:47] I need to complie a program that doesn't have a "makefile" [09:47] Pirate_Hunter should be able to sudo fsck /dev/sda1. important, make sure it is not mounted. maybe sudo umount /dev/sda1 first just in case [09:48] kousotu➲ and fdisk /mbr would kill grub. [09:48] gonzoism: np but now that i know the partition that is is on how do i tell ubuntu to check it with fsck what is the command [09:48] kahrytan: I highly doubt that, but I want to run Ubuntu as well [09:48] t [09:48] gonzoism: lol ur quick [09:48] Hello. Is there an easy way to install some blackletter fonts? Does anyone know packages available? [09:48] whats main difference between desktop and server editions? I want Xwindow but im going to from lots of daemons.. [09:48] Pirate_Hunter :) got a big internet lag here too.... [09:48] i ment /s/from/run [09:48] kousotu➲ and if it doesn't boot windows xp/vista, then its not grub issue. but windows. If it [09:49] kousotu➲ but it does boot them, you can use ubuntu live cd to reinstall grub [09:49] well, I know vista has an issue === progra is now known as averno [09:49] alright guys [09:49] my dogs keep barking outside. been barking for hours. [09:49] vista refuses to see XP [09:49] any nice hardcore ubuntu users here who can help me really fast? [09:49] if they don't stop, i'm gonna go out there and kill whatever they are barking at, unless it is cows. [09:49] kousotu➲ then visit #windows [09:49] i bet its a skunk or armadillo or something. [09:49] and hence I have th ever-annoying "tri-boot on grub" issue [09:50] I've tried the ubuntu forums without much luck [09:50] kahrytan: I'd rather just keep the 3 seperate as I have had them for a while now [09:50] kousotu➲ sounds like XP won't boot because of Vista [09:50] rsvampire how long has ubuntu been around ? [09:50] I need to complie a program that doesn't have a "makefile" how would I do so [09:50] gonzoism: fsck dont work for that partition it cna't find it, i dont know what happened all I did last on my xp as an update and disk defreg and now i cnat boot into it got any ideas what i could try? [09:50] hi all. someone have installed Ubuntu on a MicrosoftVirtualServer2005 vm? [09:50] I've been using Gutsy for a couple months now, and I'm a nerd so I'm not totally clueless and all about desktop bling [09:50] kahrytan: it won't boot through Vista, yes [09:51] HELP?!? [09:51] but I'm working on booting it seperatly [09:51] kousotu➲ what you use xp for? [09:51] kousotu does it have autoconf or automake stuff for making it ? is it perl stuff ? is there a readme or install or similiar ? [09:51] kahrytan: XP-only stuff [09:51] kousotu➲ games? [09:51] Pirate_Hunter did you sudo fsck it ? [09:51] kahrytan: yes, that and other things [09:51] gonzoism: the app? lemme check [09:51] kousotu➲ cuz Vmware can run entire partitions in emulation mode [09:52] ok well whatever, I'll type out my problem anyways and see if anyone wants to help me [09:52] gonzoism: nope [09:52] its all cold and rainy outside. [09:52] what is a good activesync replacement (that makes it easy to sync files & such....... but also install programs to)......... ideas? [09:52] kousotu hmm... small program ? few files ? maybe just run gcc on it. [09:53] Ubuntu is detecting my onboard soundcard (VIA 8237) and also my Sound Blaster card [09:53] gonzoism: it's secondlife [09:53] it's not small [09:53] kousotu gcc -i whatever.c++ -o whatever_you_want_bin_name_to_be [09:53] and it'll load the sound card it detects first as the default... even though I've set asoundconf to use my sound blaster card as default [09:53] gonzoism: yup it dont work fsck cnat seem to ccheck it [09:53] I have a boot problem here [09:53] some programs (mainly WINE and Ardour) are still using the primary reconized card [09:54] kousotu oh. there should be build instructions somewhere, or a linux folder, or a howto on a the net or something. check for a docs or Documentation folder too. maybe builds folder will have a linux script [09:54] Pirate_Hunter [09:54] Pirate_Hunter ah. what format is on it ? [09:54] is there anyway for me to permanently disable my onboard sound? it's already disabled in the BIOS so I'm not sure why Ubuntu is detecting it [09:54] Pirate_Hunter ah.... i bet ntfs. [09:54] and I can't seem to just get rid of the darn thing... so anybody got any ideas? [09:54] gonzoism: /dev/sda1 is my NTFs partition [09:54] Pirate_Hunter maybe that is the deal ? cause i hear linux doesn't like ntfs a lot. a bunch of people gripe [09:55] I'm running on a LiveCD and need help! [09:55] gonzoism: hm.. seems to already be compiled, according to Lindinlabs [09:55] gonzoism: youre ahead of me lol yeah but i need to boot to that partition lol it is actually important it holds work material [09:55] but it freezes the entire PC [09:55] hey guys, we have a quad proc, eight core server running CENT OS right now and we're quickly becoming an Ubuntu server house and wanna transition but one of the guys on our team asked the question, will ubuntu server work and take advantage of our 8 cores out of the box? Will we need to manually install/compile a new kernel? I can't seem to find any documentation on SMP stuff with ubuntu. [09:55] Pirate_Hunter ah. well. hmm.... well, you can get one of those rescue disks off distrowatch.com and maybe that will work ? or a windows disk to run ckdsk or whatever disk checker on it. [09:56] Pirate_Hunter any idea how it got messed up ? [09:56] I have a spreadsheet in Openoffice that contains student homework grades. Each row corresponds to a student, and each column corresponds to an individual homework assignment. I need to take the sum of each row, but I need to exclude the two lowest values in each row (each student's two worst scores are excluded from their final grade). How can I do this? [09:56] kousotu is there a bin/ directory ? [09:56] gonzoism, Pirate_Hunter: I use NTFS mounting on linux [09:56] \join channel #gutsy [09:57] can anyone tell me if the ntfs-3g driver is available on ubuntu's live CD or DVD? [09:57] gonzoism: yes [09:57] that is the executables. [09:57] in there [09:57] kousotu ^ [09:57] gonzoism: all i did was an update and disk defrag and today i cnat boot its really unnusual [09:57] Nemoder: it is on gutsy's live CD, I use it alot [09:57] kousotu: ok thanks [09:57] Nemoder: yeah, gutsy (7.10) has ntfs write built in [09:57] Pirate_Hunter hm... defrag from inside of windows ? (i hope [09:58] kousotu: dont need that gutsy mounts it by itself but last night i was working on it and today i cnat boot into it [09:58] is it normal behavior for you to have to move your mouse cursor off of a dialog box then back on it to activate a button? I'm constantly having to do this. [09:58] gonzoism: lol yeah inside win not from linux rofl im not that crazy [09:58] I Need Some Help Here As I Have A Boot Problem And I Am Running On The LiveCD [09:58] Pirate_Hunter man i am the wrong person for windows problems.... i'll look up a rescue cd for you real quick. [09:58] Should virtualbox be able to install Ubuntu gutsy 64 bit (amd64) without any hitches. I get the error that your cpu doesnt support the install [09:58] gonzoism: thank you very much [09:59] Pirate_Hunter lol, you never know. :) if i were gonna do it, i'd have more faith in a linux defragger for ntfs... :) [09:59] Pirate_Hunter: you cn't boot windows? [09:59] mikea [09:59] mikea [09:59] man my net sucks tonight [10:00] hm... [10:00] gonzoism: question... [10:00] why does a linux executable load in wine? [10:00] hmmmm... can anybody help me out with an issue I'm having in Gutsy? [10:00] rsvampire: what's the issue? [10:00] Can anybody help me with an ubuntu boot issue? [10:01] Can anybody help me with an Ubuntu boot issue? [10:01] docgnome: here's my problem [10:01] Pirate_Hunter http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=systemrescue i would start with that maybe ? but you might want to ask some windows people if you know any.... maybe because i don't know about windows. that cd does do ntfs though.... [10:01] Hello! I recently tried this guide http://linux.dsplabs.com.au/no-volume-control-gstreamer-plugins-and-or-devices-found-no-sound-or-voume-control-bug-on-ubuntu-p31/ to fix my sound problems (no sound, exactly as in the guide) suddenly problems arouse. When I executed the commands "chmod -R a+rwx /dev/snd" and "sudo usermod -G audio " as root, the Update Manager stopped to work. [10:02] When I try to launch the Update Manager a particular error message appears: Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic '--hide-main-window' '--non-interactive' '--parent-window-id' '41943043' '--update-at-startup' as user root. [10:02] gonzoism: np will look into it now and will ask as well thanx [10:02] Also "The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator" [10:02] kousotu dunno... you can run the command, file bin/filename on it and see what kind of file it is. [10:02] Volvagia356: What's the issue? It's better to ask the question than to ask if you can ask a question [10:02] docgnome: my onboard sound is disabled in my BIOS but Gutsy still detects it and sometimes wants to use it as the default sound card. I have my Sound Blaster card set in my asoundconf to default [10:02] rsvampire: wow. I had that EXACT problem [10:03] docgnome: so when I first boot Ubuntu sometimes the login sound doesn't play (it detects my onboard sound first) and once I log in and the asound is set it'll use my sound blaster card [10:03] Can anybody help me with an ubuntu boot issue? [10:03] docgnome: so programs like WINE and Ardour will try and use my onboard sound because it detected it first and will default to those settings no matter waht [10:03] rsvampire: I don't remember exactly what I did... hang on [10:03] Volvagia356: as long as you dont tell us the problem nobody can help you [10:03] And other strange this too, some menus from the System -> Administration menu disappeared. And when I try to add these back via the Main menu setting the just uncheck themselves from the tickboxes after I've ticked them. [10:04] my acer aspire 5600 freezes up on me for a few minutes at random intervals..... anyone ? i think it has to do with it polling the drives to see if any new media has been put in it, like the cdrom and usbs. [10:04] docgnome: so I'm wondering if there's a way to get rid of that driver or somehow tell Ubuntu to load my sound blaster card into Slot 0 all the time... it's detecting based off IRQ settings [10:04] docgnome: alright [10:04] Volvagia356 no. try just asking your question. or state your problem, and then ask for help. its hard to drag information out of people.. [10:05] gonzoisme: It's a complicated question [10:05] rsvampire: it's such a pain. I mean for crying out loud the card is disabled in the frickin bios! why does it use it? *grumble* [10:05] Volvagia356 if you never ask, i bet you never get an answer. [10:05] Volvagia356 :) [10:06] rsvampire: hang on, lemme turn my ubuntu box on [10:06] docgnome: exactly! and I'm tierd of the forums because I wait 3 days for someone to say "disable it in the BIOS" after I already posted I did! grrr... [10:06] docgnome: cool, thanks [10:06] gonzoisme: Look at this thread: gonzoisme: [10:06] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=637770 [10:06] when I boot ubuntu, it spruts out multiple errors and fails to boot [10:07] The entire file-system is read only [10:07] Anyone familiar with my issue? [10:08] rsvampire: I _think_ what I did was set it as default by doing 'sudo asoundconf set-default-card cardname' [10:09] rsvampire: it says something about that having unintended consequences, but it worked for me as I recall [10:09] oh.. ppl lest :( [10:09] left* [10:09] Volvagia356: did you try any of the ideas mentioned in the thread you posted? [10:09] Volvagia356 the fsck and fstab question was a good one. did you fsck and is /var seperate ? [10:10] docgnome: yeah that works for me... but like I said... it'll still detect my onboard sound when it loads GDM [10:10] it won't run the asoundconf file until AFTER you log in [10:10] but programs will still use that first intented card [10:10] rsvampire: you used sudo to do it? [10:10] i fsck already and my /var is not seperate [10:10] docgnome: oh yeah of course [10:10] that should set it for everyone not just your user. [10:11] Volvagia356 cool. can you /msg fstab to me ? or does fstab look right to you ? [10:11] what? [10:11] rsvampire: hrm... Not sure. I really need to get to sleep, it's 2am here. If you still have the problem tomorrow I'll try and give you a hand with it. [10:11] Has anyone tried installing Ubuntu 64 bit on Virtualbox ? [10:11] Volvagia356 the file /etc/fstab, have you checked it ? [10:11] docgnome: dude it's totally 2 am here too where are you? [10:12] I set up a new (custom built) kernel (based on ubuntu feisty sources off git). can I still use the binary modules for nvidia and the likes? [10:12] rsvampire: Washington State, USA [10:12] rsvampire: you? [10:12] rsvampire how did you know it is 2 am ? China... [10:13] How in the world are you two in the same time zone :O [10:13] docgnome: San Jose, Ca [10:13] did i say china ? err. i meant pakistan. those keys are so close together.... [10:13] * docgnome nods. [10:13] gonzoism: lol [10:13] gg [10:13] Um im fron India its only 3:43 here [10:13] gonzoism: because it's not 2am in China? lol [10:14] nm [10:14] i am from Ukrain and it's 12:14 on my clock ) [10:14] i'm really in TEXAS. waco [10:14] is there a way to find out what color is under the cursor? [10:14] and my dogs finally quit barking. they had been barking for hours.... [10:15] gozoism: I already sent it to you [10:15] keoni if you use the command, unclutter, you can turn the curser invisible after it stops moving, or if you want like the exact color name/number, you can use "gimp" and use that grab color thingie... i use that a lot. [10:16] 4 am here [10:16] well once i move the suction thing outside of the gimps window i get normal cursor [10:16] Volvagia356 you sent me /etc/fstab ? [10:17] yes [10:17] Volvagia356 i missed it [10:18] Volvagia356 will you send it again ? [10:19] * gonzoism wonders why it got so quiet. and hates his connection when it acts up... [10:21] Volvagia356 if it were me, i would reboot from the cd, open up the console, fsck the linux partition(s), if they were ok, i'd mount them, like this:sudo mount /dev/whatever /mnt [10:22] Ive recovered a partition and got 50k files. Lots of txt. Is there an app that can organize all the files depending on extension? [10:22] Would really be great to get all .doc and .jpg into their own directories [10:23] ramvi: shell script should sort that out [10:23] ikonia: anything finished to use? [10:23] Volvagia356 then i would chroot to them: sudo chroot /mnt then i would mount everything. sudo mount -a then i would update again. then try rebooting like normal, and if that didn't work, try the alternate grub entry for the last kernel, and see if that works. also i would take a quick look at /etc/fstab and make sure that whatever the / partition is, gets mount ro, similiar to this : [10:23] # /dev/sda1 [10:23] UUID=333ae886-7ea8-49e5-9464-d07cdd54d276 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 [10:23] yeppers. [10:23] ramvi: mv *.jpg /directory ? [10:24] ikonia: I like you [10:24] Volvagia356 but i don't think you are in here anymore... maybe you will come back and see what i typed. [10:24] hey anyone have a windows machine or a dual boot set up, i'm looking for someone to help me out for a few min [10:25] anthonylicari: just awk the question [10:25] anthonylicari just ask. always just ask. its faster that way. [10:26] I've got an indesign file (.indd) and I need it converted to a .pdf , I can't get the trial version of indesign to run under WINE so if someone could help me out here and convert it, i would be very appreciative [10:26] anthonylicari: you'll get better support for wine in #winehq channel === surfr is now known as jbache [10:26] I don't think you understand [10:26] I don't care about indesign [10:26] I don't want it to run [10:26] you want to convert it [10:26] I know [10:27] but as indesign doesn't exist on ubuntu [10:27] anthonylicari: ill try it as im on xp currently [10:27] thank you msbhvn [10:27] anthonylicari: seems i need an adobe account to get the trial dl, will take a few [10:28] anthonylicari: your best bet is trying somethink like inkscape to read it [10:28] but I doubt it will [10:28] It's for our magazine www.cultureloungeonline.com , I converted issue 1 and 2 when I was on windows but forgot to do issue 3, now I've done issue 4 on ubuntu but kind of feel odd about releasing it before issue 3 [10:28] anthonylicari: then join #winehq to get it running under wine and converted to a more usable format [10:28] anthonylicari: well done with a sly promotion of your website that was totally uncalled for [10:29] holy cow its 470MB [10:29] i mean 437MB but still, damn [10:29] msbhvn I can put a link to your site on ours for helping me out here [10:30] anthonylicari: cool, anyway you have the file you want converted? [10:30] what's easiest for you, email or ftp? [10:31] I just installed Limewire and it won't load when i try to run it [10:31] anthonylicari: whats the filesize? [10:31] 10mb [10:32] well wait [10:32] I better zip it and just do ftp, I forgot it's indesign and it has all the links in it === _ziyax is now known as ziyax [10:33] I am getting this message when I try to load my newly installed Limewire : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48067/ [10:33] ikonia: thanks for the promotion, make sure you buy a t-shirt. [10:35] Can anyone help? [10:35] mihai1: it looks like you are using the wrong version of java for compatability with limewire. Where did you get limewire [10:36] Read my comment to see my problem which I need help with http://linux.dsplabs.com.au/no-volume-control-gstreamer-plugins-and-or-devices-found-no-sound-or-voume-control-bug-on-ubuntu-p31/#comment-37 [10:36] fi0na: please just summerise the bug [10:36] I did above [10:36] ikonia : I got it from the official website. How do I upgrade Java to a newer version? [10:37] mihai1: you can't upgrade java to a newer version, but there are multiple versions in the ubuntu repo's. We can't really support limewire though as it is not packaged/built for ubuntu [10:37] ikonia: do you see it? [10:38] thanks ikonia [10:38] where are you from? [10:38] Hi, I'm trying to switch to ubuntu from SuSE [10:38] fi0na: no - I'm not reading that, as I said. But never mind [10:38] mihai1: your welcome. Doesn't matter where I'm from. [10:39] I've installed 7.10 on a new partition (leaving my home intact) [10:39] hey guys [10:39] Because I want to try it out first [10:39] when i install ubuntu it stops at 82% [10:39] whois ikonia [10:39] it says configuring apt, scanning the mirror [10:39] I decided not to install the boot loader because I didn't want to lose my SuSE grub config (in case there is a problem) [10:39] can i skip that or something? [10:39] now, how can I boot Ubuntu? [10:39] There is no menu.lst in /boot [10:39] no /boot/grub either... [10:39] <_evo_> hi there is a script im trying to find that allows you to take a tutorial to learn man does anyone know whats its called or where i can find it? === jimmy__ is now known as zondor [10:40] I can edit my menu.lst in suse, but I don't know what to put there [10:40] Kodomut: I'm not sure if the standard desktop install allows you to skip grub install [10:40] ikonia: It's in the advanced box at the very end [10:40] JacobSingh: thank you Kodomut did you see that [10:41] <_evo_> can anyone help with my previous question? [10:41] ikonia, not skip grub install, i want to skip the "scanning the mirror" part [10:41] it is still at 82% after 15 minutes [10:41] _evo_: learn man ? [10:41] Kodomut: scanning the mirror ? [10:41] yeah, at the install [10:41] at 82% [10:41] oooh [10:42] no, I think it auto checks for updates [10:42] <_evo_> yeah [10:42] <_evo_> learn man [10:42] _evo_: whast do you mean learn man ? [10:42] _evo_: learn what about it ? [10:42] but 15 minutes just for that? and no lights are blinking or anything [10:42] Kodomut: thats frustrating, that sounds like the install is hung === ajmorris_ is now known as ajmorris_|AFK [10:44] !away > ajmorris_|AFK [10:45] <_evo_> anyone heard of the man tutorial script? [10:45] _evo_: what are you talking about ? tutorial script ? [10:45] _evo_: what do you want to know ? === doofus1234 is now known as doofus123 [10:46] Does anyone know how I can get the ubutnu grub settings? [10:46] <_evo_> ikonia: it just is a script that as your reading the man allows your to edit it so you can learn on the fly as you read [10:46] http://www.linux-tutorial.info/manpage _evo_ [10:46] _evo_: you want to edit man pages ? [10:47] !ping [10:47] pong [10:47] Thx [10:47] ( : [10:47] <_evo_> learn to use man pages [10:47] _evo_: the command is "man $command" [10:47] _evo_: or for more information "man man" [10:47] <_evo_> kk thanks guys [10:48] _evo_: there is the link I gave you [10:48] hi everyone - I think about packaging the current Squeak beta - is there a way to find out, if there is already a package in a ppa or wherever?

[10:50] _evo_: highlight their name by using their nick(name) [10:51] where vi == vim [10:51] learning curve is a bit high just to edit html though [10:51] ikonia, ppa = personal package archive? or ppa = power pc architecture? [10:51] well what i'm looking for is something like dreamweaver [10:52] <_evo_> bazhang: like this? [10:52] ikonia, I am a but confused by what you say (am not a native speaker). [10:52] _evo_: precisely :} [10:52] meshuggah99: have you tried any IDE's before? [10:52] <_evo_> bazhang: hey thanks! is there a way to add people as friends? [10:52] i have the bluefish [10:53] _evo_: not that I know of, at least in a support channel :} [10:53] <_evo_> bazhang:are you on the ohloh.net social network? [10:53] i've used IDE for c++ [10:53] uhm.. wtf? [10:53] there's a process called ld-linux.so.2 on my system, eating memory like candy and hogging the CPU... [10:53] meshuggah99: I just got Netbeans running on Ubuntu pretty smoothly, works great for everything [10:53] anyone ever run into that problem? [10:53] _evo_: no, but this is way #offtopic :} [10:53] <_evo_> bazhang: you should get on, its for people involved in open source [10:53] <_evo_> bazhang: ok well thanks ttyl [10:54] quick, it's about to crash when it reaches 3 GB memory usage... [10:54] =) [10:54] netbeans huh? [10:54] hello [10:54] hello [10:54] meshuggah99: well if it's just html you definitely don't need Netbeans [10:54] thanks [10:54] am still using dapper :( [10:55] hmm [10:55] meshuggah99: but it does have features much like dreamweaver of managing all your projects from within the IDE [10:55] Hello. Is there an easy way to install some blackletter/gothic fonts? Does anyone know packages available? [10:55] bobby: you may want to try a livecd of a more recent release in that case :} [10:55] meshuggah99: If you are looking for something WYSIWYG then Nvu might be a good solution [10:56] thats cool i'm checking it out now, looks powerful downloading the biggest bundle [10:56] when I install the NVidia package (downloaded from the nvidia website) all works fine, but when I re boot the laptop .. I have to run the script again .... any idea? [10:56] bazhang: i want to upgrade. but cant afford the costly download process of installing all the apps again [10:57] bobby: you want to upgrade how far? to the most recent release? or earlier [10:57] ikonia: still there? [10:57] latest release, i downloaded the gutsy alternate cd, but dont know how to update [10:57] bobby: are you backed up? [10:58] bazhang: nope [10:58] :( [10:58] bobby: then it will wipe your stuff, unless you have a seperate home directory [10:58] :( [10:59] Ive recovered a partition and got 50k files. Lots of txt.

[11:00] my sound card needs a driver [11:01] bobby: alot to back up? this is why I suggest using the livecd to see if it is worthwhile for you to upgrade right now--Hardy Heron is coming early next year, and it is a long term support (lts) release [11:02] can anyone in here give a noob a lil help with a sound card issue?? [11:02] ive never had to install a driver for anything other than my wifi card....so im stuck [11:03] bazhang: yeah, thats wht i was waiting for. i installed 7.04 once, dint run properly, so reinstalled dapper. ill install hardy then. [11:03] bobby: I'm running it now, and so far it is very stable [11:04] hey what is gmake? [11:04] bazhang: 7.04 was not booting into GUI. it was hanging. i had do Alt+F1 to go to text mode, then give the gdm command to start the GUI, was really painful :( [11:04] some one please tell me the basic commands for installing a driver?? === dennis__1 is now known as Snow [11:05] bobby: thank goodness for livecds :} [11:05] booster614: which driver?

So I'd rather wait for sometime when there isn't any compatibility issues [12:31] Moreover, it seems that 64bit isn't much better than 32bit yet [12:32] wy: if you're running a desktop and don't like configurations you're probably better off just running 32bit [12:32] wy, most people will not see a benefit, indeed [12:32] Considering that I've just installed this 64 for two days. It's not very costly to go back [12:32] gyache user here? [12:33] wy: you're still getting a lot of benefit from the chip even running everything in 32bit mode, unless you're really running science apps that make use of 64bit at the application level I would recommend just using 32bit [12:33] kelsin: The proftpd daemon always starts with a base mode of 0666 when creating files. Note that Umask can only be used to "take away" permissions granted by the base mode; it cannot be used to add permissions that are not there. --> http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/doc/contrib/ProFTPD-mini-HOWTO-Umask.html [12:33] Someone ask a stupid question [12:33] kelsin: in my proftpd, the default directory mask is 755, how can i make it automatically 775? [12:34] chronosx: yeah so proftpd can't make files executable, so you can still solve your problem by making the proftpd umask 0002 [12:34] kelsin: I looked at the comparisons. It seems that only cryptography programs are much faster. That's because they use integer arithmetic a lot [12:34] hi [12:34] kelsin: ok ignore the "x", at least make the rw for group also set. at least 664 [12:35] kelsin: wait, i'll read further :-) [12:35] chronosx: yeah so with umask 0002 proftpd will make new files 664 and new dirs 775 (at least from that document, I don't use it myself) [12:36] wy: yep, which makes sense, so it's fully up to hassle of closed source parts (flash etc) vs speed of things like that === vampiros is now known as Vampiro [12:36] Âñåì ïðèâåò =) [12:36] hi i have a little problem i cannot see other computers in network [12:36] kelsin: But surely 64 bit is nicer looking: 0x2afb83217000 [12:36] they were there before now they are gone [12:36] chronosx: depending on your system you can also set the global umask in /etc/profile but clearly this leads to other security implications and I honestly don't know if proftpd resets it anyway [12:37] kelsin: there i see it now in gproftd configuration. Umask 022 [12:37] wy: hassle vs pointer beauty :) you decide [12:37] chronosx: make that 002 and you should be good [12:37] help my network does not show any computers [12:37] kelsin: I'd love it if I'm a low level developer ;-) [12:37] asjad: did you do anything -- make changes to configuration somewhere? [12:37] nothing [12:38] yeah i did one thing i shared a folder [12:38] do anyone help me with a problem? [12:38] asjad: are you talking about windows computers on your network? [12:38] riotkittie, from shared folders [12:38] and how are you trying to attempt to the other computers? [12:38] But most of the time I'm using high level language like Haskell or Java. So I guess that won't make any difference. [12:38] kelsin, yes [12:39] how can i install some compiler file, like make install, ./configure? [12:39] So I decided to go back :-) [12:39] asjad: can you still see them by going to "Windows Network" (meaning are they only gone from the first "Network" screen, or are they gone all together? [12:39] my linux didnt find them [12:39] kelsin: Are you using 32 or 64? [12:39] wy: I don't have any 64 bit machines [12:40] dctv ghbdtn! [12:40] camilo_cedetec: what do you mean, do you have software that you need to install from source? [12:40] kelsin: You don't have core 2? [12:40] âñåì ïðèâåò! [12:40] wy: no [12:40] kelsin, i am using ubuntu and when i go to network now i cant see other computers on my network but i can still acces them if i type smb://IP_ADDRESS [12:40] kelsin: what is the name of the variable mode? i can't seem to find it in configuration file, i only found the variable Umask 022 in the config file, "Thus, with a mode of 0666, and a umask of 0022" [12:40] kelsin: Those are quite old machines [12:40] kelsin, but the network shows nothing [12:40] ëþäè! åñòü òóò ðóññêèå? [12:40] i woultd like to learn how to compile some source.... [12:40] asjad: normall when you goto network you have an option called "Windows Network" as well as showing other computer directly, can you still access the windows computer by browsing through that or does that not show up? [12:41] camilo_cedetec: ok, for starters, what you want to compile isnt available in teh repos? [and you've enabled the multiverse/universe] + [12:41] ëþäè! åñòü òóò ðóññêèå? [12:41] ëþäè! åñòü òóò ðóññêèå? [12:41] ëþäè! åñòü òóò ðóññêèå? [12:41] ëþäè! åñòü òóò ðóññêèå? [12:41] ëþäè! åñòü òóò ðóññêèå? [12:41] kelsin, yes windows network is there [12:41] ëþäè! åñòü òóò ðóññêèå? [12:41] asjad: nothing at all?? ... hmmm I was wondering if your workgroup was changed when you started sharing, which is possioble but probably wouldn't cause that [12:41] Pashka[k45], no [12:41] just to let people know I think that using thunderbird with lightning 0.5 in linux mint sometimes causes a computer restart when sending attachments [12:41] anyone know what Pashka[k45] is speaking? [12:41] kelsin, i double click it but nothing is inside [12:41] i removed lightning and everything is ok now [12:42] kelsin: The proftpd daemon always starts with a base mode of 0666 when creating files. 777 for directories. hmm.. "always" seems this is by design? cannot be changed? :-) [12:42] camilo_cedetec: if you need to compile from source and not use repos then install the "build-essential" package with synaptic or apt-get [12:42] Pashka[k45]: please do not do that [12:42] camilo_cedetec: that gives you the basic compiler and libraries, depending on the software you might also need to install other *-dev packages for different libraries [12:42] chronosx: that's what that document says, like I said I don't use proftpd so I wouldn't know [12:42] RichiH ~»do you speak russia? [12:43] Pashka[k45]: no, sorry [12:43] i am using ubuntu and when i go to network now i cant see other computers on my network but i can still acces them if i type smb://IP_ADDRESS [12:43] asjad: I would double check that your Domain Workgroup (the second tab of Shared Folders) is set to the same thing as the windows computers [12:43] !ru | Pashka[k45] [12:43] Pashka[k45]: Пожалуйста войдите в #ubuntu-ru для помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta vojdite v #ubuntu-ru dlq pomoshchi na russkom qzyke [12:44] does anyone know how to update to a certain kernel version with apt-get? [12:44] salve a tutti [12:44] kelsin, yep it is same MSHOME [12:44] kelsis: i want to install emerald [12:44] sorry if im being rude, im just frustrated with linux lately. [12:44] but, i dont have a especific software to install [12:45] just to learn [12:45] Pashka[k45], speaks russian... oh, damn [12:45] i want find english friend... [12:45] i would like to learn how use the make install and ./configure [12:45] i very bad speak english) [12:46] however, i need to install these files [12:46] fair effort of english however... [12:46] kelsin, so man any siggestions :? [12:46] ~yawn~ [12:46] i just got the gcc compiler.... [12:46] bazhang - im back ... dunno if you are :P [12:46] how can I view which ports a certain program is connecting on? [12:46] is it safe to delete everything in /var [12:47] asjad: unfortunately no, don't know enough about samba, and unfortunately havn't had that problem [12:47] kelsin, thanks anyways man [12:47] skyfalcon866: I highly doubt it [12:47] well i have 583MB left on my / [12:47] help anyone i am using ubuntu and when i go to network now i cant see other computers on my network but i can still acces them if i type smb://IP_ADDRESS [12:47] camilo_cedetec: did you get the gcc compile by instlaling it or by installing "build-essential"? [12:48] skyfalcon866: you should read the docs for ceratin packages to find out if their data in /var is safe to delete [12:48] skyfalcon866: like you probably don't want to blow away the db of what software you ahve installed, but deleteing the cache of debs that are saved after downloading is probably ok, stuff like that, it's up to the individual software, I wouldn't blindly delete /var though [12:48] kelsin: i got it with the synaptic [12:49] camilo_cedetec: by installing the gcc package or the build-essential package? [12:49] asjad - what are the other pcs? and are they in the same workgroup as you? [12:49] kelsin:ok [12:49] !samba | asjad [12:49] asjad: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT [12:49] Guest047, yep other computers in my workgroup they are all running windows [12:50] i dont know, i selected many file with calling gcc... and installed them [12:50] camilo_cedetec: do you want to learn how to compile and install software written by others? or do you want to learn how to use gcc, make etc to write programs of your own? [12:50] asjad - is the ubuntu box in the same workgroup? [12:50] camilo_cedetec: ok then, the first step would be to do what I originally told you to do. Install the "build-essential" package, it installs the compiler and other libraries / programs you need [12:50] just to install [12:50] Guest047, yep [12:50] camilo_cedetec: after that it's up to you to find software out there, and try to install it if you're point is to learn [12:51] asjad - what are the other machines? xp? ubuntu? etc [12:51] kelsin: i freed up 2.3GB by deleteing apts cache ty [12:51] Guest047, mine is ubuntu the other 7 are xp [12:51] sp2? [12:51] Guest047, yep [12:51] camilo_cedetec: take a look at the wine wiki for example.. there is a howto on how to install it from source.. I think the wiki is at http://wiki.winehq.org [12:51] kelsin: i tryed to install some file that i downloaded from internet and ocurred some errors..... [12:52] camilo_cedetec: after you've done what kelsin told you [12:52] asjad - can you browse the workgroup from other xp machines [12:52] \identify [12:52] Guest047, yep [12:53] Sylvarant: forward slash.. /identify [12:53] Guest047, it is only the ubuntu machine which does not show the other computers i have to access them via ip addresses [12:53] Guest047, for e.g. smb://192.168.1.4 [12:54] asjad - i do windows network engineering for a living so i understand whats going on - just dont understand why you cant browse the workgroup [12:54] camilo_cedetec: ok, I am done talking to you unless you do what I tell you and INSTALL THE build-essential PACKAGE. Software compiling doesn't ONLY depend on gcc, they use make and other tools (autoconf, automake etc) you NEED the build-essential package so go to a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install build-essential" [12:55] Guest047, wow, but i can browse it via ip addresses though. [12:55] Hello [12:55] Guest047, the names are gone [12:55] camilo_cedetec: after that you need to read the documentation for the software you're trying to install. It might depend on other libraries which means you need to install the -dev packages for those libraries as well. [12:55] asjad: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=278992 [12:56] Guest047, asjad: doesn't samba have some kind of name resolution of it's own.. netbios? nmdb keeps popping up in my mind.. just a thought [12:56] hi [12:56] kelsin: thanks.... [12:56] Guest047, thanks but somehow is it possible to get my system the way it was [12:56] kelsin: i'll install them [12:56] can sombody give me the channel for the new ubuntu in development?

[12:58] joejoe: lilo, but why don't you think you can use grub? [12:59] kelsin did you not see my first post ? [12:59] joejoe: the one like ten lines ago? I don't fully understand your question from it [12:59] kelsin i formated my c drive ext3 and copied ubuntu onto it. [13:00] joejoe: and did you try installing grub on that drive yet? [13:00] joejoe - by using what tool? the livecd or the ubuntu windows installer [13:00] does anyone know how i can install kernel-2.6.20-10 with apt [13:00] kelsin no i don't think it can be done.

I can only use about 10% of my internet connection? [13:02] joejoe: you can also follow the dir for "lost grub after installing windows" cause you're dealing with the same thing, a drive without grub on it, but with a ubuntu install [13:02] kelsin i didn't say. reformatted you did [13:02] anybody help! i just attached a new harddisk of a friend, but am not able to mount it. i can see the partitions using fdisk but there is no /dev/hdb5 or /dev/hdb6. only /dev/hdb [13:02] help please [13:03] Slart no. i did not.

[13:03] ok [13:03] joejoe: then please restate what you did, since what you previously said is wrong [13:03] joejoe: " formated my c drive ext3 and copied that installation".. that sounds like a ext 3 partition to me [13:03] Slart, I can get around 800Kb/s on my Laptop (with vista) but only 80Kb/s on this Computer (ubuntu 7.10) [13:03] its fat32 [13:04] kelsin and Slart "i formated my c drive and copied ubuntu onto it" [13:04] BB882: using what kind of transfer? udp ping? tcp/ip? samba?

[13:07] i installed gparted and saw that both the partitions are fat32 [13:07] joejoe: ok then you're doing stuff with your drive way more advanced then this channel can help you with, or you're just not listening to us, I would suggest installing grub onto this drive with "grub-install /dev/" if it doesn't it won't wreck anything and then you can do some reading about partitions and drives and figure it out on your own [13:07] bobby - so you have two partitions that are fat32? [13:07] joejoe: then I don't think anyone here can help you... you've managed to do something noone else has.. putting files on a hard drive without a partition.. amazing [13:07] could it be software issue or hardware issue cause it used to work on my laptop on this new updated ubuntu version gusty [13:07] Guest047 - yeah, 2 partitions on the new disk which are fat 32 [13:08] bobby - what size are the partitions? [13:08] BB882: sorry.. got carried away with the hard drive stuff.. =).. I have no idea why your ubuntu box would be 10 times slower than a vista machine using regular http traffic.. [13:08] Guest047 - 39.07GB and 15.92 GB [13:08] bobby - the 39 gig wont mount because fat32 has a 32gb limitation [13:08] Slart linux doesn't need a partition to make a file system. anyone can do that. mke2fs -j /dev/hda and blam you have what i have. [13:09] BB882: how did you measure the network traffic? [13:09] I know, it is bizarre. If I am doing something remotely "network intensive", then my internet suffers. [13:09] Guest047 - but i mounted it in an another ubuntu system [13:09] how is that possible [13:09] bobby - im willing to bet you have corrupted the fs by mounting it [13:09] :( [13:09] Well I am downloading a torrent, it is going around 86kb/s, when in theory, the speed of the current torrent is 18mb/s, and has around 200 seeders, with 10 leechers. So in theory, I should max out. [13:09] kelsin ok. thank you for responding. and i'm thinking lilo will work ok. [13:10] joejoe: that is not the recommended way to isntall anything onto a drive. Again you're doing stuff that is not supported or recommended. You can play with doing that all you want, but it's up to you to read grub or lilo docs and figure out how to install a bootloader yourself [13:10] ok [13:10] let me see what i can do [13:10] thanks for the help guys [13:10] bbye [13:10] bobby - open a terminal and type in "cat /var/log/messages |grep fat" and you should see a message about unable to mount and it will give you a reason [13:10] ok [13:10] Guest047 - 1 min [13:11] Guest047 - nothin there [13:11] kelsin confession time. i already know all about how to install lilo, and already knew that grub can't install there because of it not having a partition. just thought i'd educate anyone that might "think they knew" hope that wasn't to offencive. :) [13:12] sudo apt-get ghc6 < what verison is that? 6.6.0? 6.6.1? 6.6.2? [13:12] xLE - have a look in synaptic or there should be a flag you can put through apt to find out [13:12] !ghc [13:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about ghc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:12] joejoe: educate people on how to do something they shouldn't be doing? and then how to fix it??? This is a support chanell for helping people, OBVIOUSLY we're going to respond as if you didn't force creation of a file system on a blank drive device, casue we assume if you're doing that you know what you're doing [13:12] joejoe: go waste time somewhere else please [13:13] which driver should be installed for fat32? [13:13] bobby - no such thing as a driver in ubuntu -its a module ... whats the error message [13:13] kelsin no educate them to the fact that "if someone tries that, and they do. you can know in advance that you can't use grub there." [13:13] Guest047 - no error message is there. [13:13] cat + grep fat returned nothing [13:13] joejoe: we would NEVER have someone do that ever, and if they did by accident we would fix it, it not anything new and now you've wasted my time, thanks and good day [13:14] bobby - what about grepping for FAT or Fat [13:14] which module should be present for reading fat32? [13:14] i am trying to boot the live 7.10 cd on my machine, but i can't get to the graphics mode [13:14] thanks Guest047. [13:15] kelsin your time is cheep. you violenteer here.... ;/ and good day. [13:15] actually i have other fat32 partitions on my first hard disk mounted, and working fine [13:15] its just the second hard disk fat partitions that are giving me the problems [13:15] bobby also dmesg | grep sdb [13:15] wt is the meaning of this log and how to solve it ? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48074/ [13:16] I have an external hard disk which uses ntfs. Is there any partitioning tool for ubuntu that can create an ext3 partition from the free space on it, without losing data? [13:16] is there any way to make Gnome lighter??

The problem is when i try to stay up-to-date, it seems that ubuntu cannot get connected to the net due to fail when authenticating with the proxy server. I tried to fix this on system > preferences > network but it didnt work. Is there some way to get my ubuntu connected with the domain, so [14:53] the system can stay up-to-date and i could share some files and access shared printers...?

[14:54] hi [14:54] man all of u guys are programmers for ubuntu? [14:54] Zlomp: no [14:55] or a fan club?

[14:56] Zlomp: please join #ubuntu-offtopic [14:56] sorry [14:57] Jay-Oh-En: It was rar but non-free .. looking now [14:59] Jay-Oh-En: Try synaptic and search for rar.. it mentions non-free but doesnt list it... there is a free which might imply the other is non-free [15:00] When running sleep.sh kern.log includes a line "kernel: [19716:296000] PM: Preparing system for mem sleep."

[15:08] * fredl frowns [15:08] is there some weird dependency? [15:08] fredl: because you installed it before adobe updated the version on their site [15:08] aha! I see [15:08] 5 minutes from starting computer till desktop appears, after that, opening terminal cost around 40 second. NICE ubuntu!!!! [15:08] fredl: the package downloads the tar.gz from adobe and checks the md5sum [15:08] thanks jrib, that's helpfull. [15:09] mosno: I have an alternative grep command at hand that resembles yours. In the past both did their job and I could not find big differences in their results. -- So probably the culprit is somewhere else.

[15:54] mcquaid , give me the link [15:54] k [15:55] brobostigon: It is there, modprobe however freezes when I do it with modprobe ndiswrapper so I used ndiswrapper -m instead...

[16:08] #kubuntu [16:08] ajul: what filesystem does your ubuntu use? [16:08] yoou cant, because linuxs partition is in foprmat windows cant understand [16:08] ajul, you dont, windows doesnt see the drive becuase the ubuntu partition is not a dos/ntfs partition that windows understands how to work with [16:08] brobostigon: there is a driver for it [16:09] !ext3 | ajul [16:09] ajul: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [16:09] ajul: That's not quite how it works. You'll need to install something like explore2fs [16:09] it uses something like ext3 [16:09] ajul: use fs-driver.org [16:09] thanks for the help.

[16:52] Ace2016 - i don't own another mouse. so that is not an option. [16:52] the problem is that the host pc is behind a firewall [16:52] Slart: iirc it's gnome-launch-box [16:52] loke_?

How could running all of your apps by webservices be better than running local applications? [16:53] bazhang: perhaps "go ubuntu" is something else..

Both work with the new madwifi Sorry about the spam though all would get in one "post". [17:05] abdulla: KDE is great if you don't mind that mozilla and everything else that uses GTK will look out of place in your QT environment. [17:05] thanks juano_1 [17:06] when nm-applet starts, it asks for 2 passwords, but no matter what I type, I have to define the wep key anyways. is there a way to start nm-applet without any password? [17:06] Stwange: no problem :) [17:07] what do you mean tag ? because my KDE pc feels slow and my gnome is fast :/ i was wondering thought because i messed it up or ? [17:07] abdulla: besides, KDE doesn't have tomboy notes [17:07] who wants tomboy lol [17:07] which is easily one of the most useful programs I've come across in the last few years [17:07] (for me, atleast) [17:07] theyr are easier [17:08] like open office doc :) [17:08] abdulla: easier...to sync across multiple machines?

[17:53] hi, i'm trying to use wine 0.9.50 to run steam and counter strike. i have a non-steam version of counter strike which runs fine. the steam version of counter strike however will lockup midway through the second round, completely grabbing all of my input (can't toggle capslock key, etc.) The console says stuff like fixme: winsock: WSAIoctl unsupported WS_IOCTL cmd (98000004) \\ net.cpp (1225): Assertion failed: 0==iRet [17:53] hello ! using ubuntu 7.04 on vmware. how can i install vmware tools? caouse they are on .rpm or tar.gz format and i need .deb. cannot convert using alien. help, please [17:53] <_gpg_> bazhang i'll try this tomorrow then, honestly, i dont know the real difference between server and desktop install [17:53] _gpg_: alternately, you can try the alternate cd (text-based) [17:53] that's basically the only output wine gives, so i'm very puzzled. any ideas?

It gives: < [17:56] So, what do I have to enter after it says < [17:56] ? [17:57] unrar e file.rar * [17:58] With the * [17:58] ? [17:58] heya all [17:58] somebody using reconstructor? [17:58] I was wondering if Ubuntu also has a testing version [17:58] unrar x *.rar [17:58] I'm running 7.10 now, but want the newer version :) [17:59] to see if it no longer freezes my lenovo T61p when doing massive transfers over my wireless interface [17:59] if i am installing xp should i delete ubuntu then put xp on then reinstall ubuntu [17:59] mvanbaak: what wireless card? [17:59] pestilence: intel 3945 [17:59] loke_, thanks x works, but now I'm wondering, why doesn't e work? [17:59] skyfalcon866: no, why? [17:59] mvanbaak: what driver are you using? [18:00] pestilence: ipw3945 [18:00] I have no idea what e is supposed to do. [18:00] Hello, guys! I have a problem with some multimedia files. Can I give the address? [18:00] Hi all, plz I've just installed apache 2.2.4 in my ubuntu 7.10 and got a blank httpd.conf file, how can I fix it? [18:00] mvanbaak: you should try iwl3945, it works much better for me on my dell vostro [18:00] wols:cuz windows likes being on the 1st partition and i only have a 3rd partition open [18:00] pestilence: how ? ;) [18:00] mvanbaak: the ipw3945 driver would stop working for me during large transfers too. not so with the iwl driver [18:00] (I'm using Mozilla Firefox) [18:00] /dev/dsp seems to be locked, fuser gives nothing about it; people seem to be having the same problem on forums, but nothing really works [18:01] mvanbaak: i think there are two key steps [18:01] oklopol: Firefox is probably using it. [18:01] isn't there any way to just see who's using the file? :\ [18:01] mvanbaak: put iwlwifi_mac80211 and iwl3945 in /etc/modules [18:01] i closed firefox [18:01] lsof /dev/dsp [18:01] didn't help [18:01] oh [18:01] i'll try [18:01] gives nothing [18:01] mvanbaak: then put "blacklist ipw3945" in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [18:02] Are you sure Firefox is closed? killall firefox firefox-bin [18:02] i have feisty fawn... i think :P [18:02] okay, i'll try [18:02] my network device is gone. only lo left. any idea how to get back my ethernet device? (nforce 630a) [18:02] mvanbaak: reboot, then you should have the iwl driver loaded (check with lsmod) [18:02] loke_: no process killed [18:02] Interesting. [18:02] indeed. [18:03] pestilence: thanks [18:03] brb, rebooting ;) [18:03] oklopol: Firefox is the usual suspect, I'm afraid you might haveto kill x and try all over again. [18:03] kill x? [18:03] ctrl+alt+backspace, closes all apps and forces you to log in again. [18:03] oh... hmm... that's not nice :\ [18:03] That *should* free up /dev/dsp if something's using it [18:04] it's a bug then? [18:04] oklopol: Likely. But first we need to know if an application is to blame, or if your sound device is not configured properly. [18:05] Restarting X is the only way I know of to "fix" the problem, since lsof /dev/dsp shows nothing. [18:05] !kernel [18:05] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages [18:05] z [18:05] does anyone else see dots briefly in the username entry box when there machine first boots up? [18:05] El_Burro: No, I don't. [18:05] skyfalcon866: wrong. windows runs from other partitions too [18:06] hmph, i guess i'll kill x now, then, see you in a few minutes with the same problem, most likely ;) [18:06] ------> [18:06] I have a question, when your watching a flash video, say maybe something on Youtube, after about maybe a few videos, does Firefox crash for you guys? I have Compiz Fusion enabled but I disabled a lot of the stuff which I figure might help. So like after watching a video, firefox will freeze and then your screen goes greyish and then when you click the X to close, you get the force quit? [18:06] hi all [18:06] Excuse me. I can't watch some video lessons using Mozilla Firefox. (.asf format I think). Could you help me? Address: http://www.consorzionettuno.it/nettuno/italian/corsi_uni/corsi.html [18:06] i see the same number of dots as my username, only greyed out and very briefly [18:06] MasterWitt: Flash is still being worked on and bugs like this are common. You're lucky you can at least watch a video, I couldn't get youtube to work for weeks. ;) [18:06] francesco: I get the same problem. Like when I am on WWE.com, I can't watch the whole video [18:07] who updates the packages in synaptic? [18:07] How to solve it, MasterWitt? I need those lessons. [18:07] loke_:Ahhh ok, just making sure. This happens even without Compiz Fusion enabled [18:07] Yeah, Flash has problems on its own. Compiz has been pretty well ironed out now. [18:07] francesco: they play for me. [18:08] fixed [18:08] francesco: Well I just went into the source code, found the video url and opened it up with Totem. Also, do you have extra codecs installed? [18:08] I can't even start the video, MasterWitt! [18:08] oklopol_: Cool. [18:08] thanks, loke_ [18:08] oklopol_: No problem. === oklopol_ is now known as oklopol [18:08] francesco: Yeah, that happens to me. [18:08] Yes I think so. [18:08] I have gstreamer, I think. [18:08] (the codecs) [18:08] francesco: try installing the MediaPlayerConnectivity extension for firefox, and also vlc. then associate vlc with the videos. [18:08] the problem is, i mess around with /dev/dsp a lot, so... it's not nice if i always have to restart the comp :\ [18:09] #Ubuntu-pl [18:09] oklopol: Don't have to restart the comp, just the x server. [18:09] francesco: Good. Well go into the source code and find the video url and then open up totem and open the url option and paste the url and it should work. It happens to me, don't worry :P [18:09] What is vlc? [18:09] oklopol: But if shouldn't happen very often. [18:09] francesco: it's a video player. [18:09] francesco: VLC is a media player which is pretty good at playinig most formats. you should download it by doing sudo apt-get install vlc [18:09] I accidentaly removed (put in the trash) my Desktop folder from my home, now i can't put any icons on my desk, coz Gnome recreated it in the trash, and using it from there every time...any ideas? [18:09] oklopol: Try to remember which applicaiton you used last that used your sound device, maybe that program has a bug. [18:09] well, restarting x is pretty much the same as restarting the comp [18:09] Then I have to find where the file is and open it manually, ok? [18:10] oklopol: Not at all. =] [18:10] francesco: You mean for the videos your wanting to play? [18:10] hmm, may have been a python program i was testing... [18:10] Yeah. These are university lessons. [18:10] but, usually they show up with fuser [18:10] http://www.consorzionettuno.it/nettuno/italian/corsi_uni/corsi.html [18:10] francesco: ahh ok, lemme see if I can get anything to play or if i can assist you on getting the video url [18:10] pestilence: let's see how this works out :) [18:11] I'm on iwl now [18:11] thanks [18:11] Is it possible to get TV-out without having an extra desktop, so that media players output on the TV for example, without it being a desktop that you can move your mouse to? [18:11] charter is so hosed :( [18:12] mvanbaak: that was painless, i guess [18:13] it sure was [18:13] guys, I have a problem. trying to access "restricted drivers" and gets message which says I need "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22.14-cell" or something. where do I get this? [18:13] like everything in ubuntu: It Simply Works (tm) [18:13] francesco: hmmm I think ASP is somewhat like a playlist, I could be wrong. Anyway I clicked on the first button and another page loads up. I figure at least the player would show up but it did not [18:14] Yes, that's the problem. It works with Windows. :) MasterWitt. [18:14] I'm having a very odd problem with Firefox on Gutsy Gibbons. I usually connect to the internet through another box that does NAT, but I've moved the compy to a location that uses a belkin router. Firefox does not work, as it can't do DNS lookups, but everything else on the machine can. If i put google's IP address in firefox, it connects fine. [18:14] Can you help me? I compiled latest madwifi, but I don't know how to apply this patch: http://madwifi.org/ticket/1679 [18:14] Konquerer works fine, but firefox cannot lookup any domain names, has anyone come across this before? [18:15] ok, this is the weirdest issue I've ever seen... I have this machine, carocal.astro.psu.edu. It's on the same switch as 24 other computers. When I turn it on, I can ping it from any computer. Then about 5 minutes later, that computer stops pinging it completely (except for one computer that never has a problem pinging it, cosmos.astro.psu.edu), however; I can ssh into any computer that hasn't pinged it yet, and from their I can ping it f [18:15] tyczek: how did you do with the ath0 & wifi0 ? did you remove etho0 & lo also? [18:15] disasm, What's the difference between cosmos and the other machines? [18:15] francesco: Yeah well this is linux, a lot of the common things that works in Windows is getting ironed out here in Linux. Soon I hope Adobe will fix this and hopefully all these small annoyances will be fixed. Linux is constantly being updated and new bugs are being found and squashed. I to have problems so your not alone :D [18:16] I have fresh install of Ubuntu [18:16] Anyway, do you know how to solve it right now? [18:16] hello [18:16] francesco: Lemme search in the HTML codeing and I'll see if I can get the url of the videos, at least if it has one [18:16] coopster: there shouldn't be any difference, same OS, it has the same hardware as carocal, however; 2 other machines have the same hardware as well and still have problems [18:16] linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22.14-cell - anyone know where to find it? [18:17] salut les mecs [18:18] disasm, any networking differences, different switch, different port on the switch, static vs dhcp, etc? [18:18] linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-cell <---- that is how it is written. wrote a small mistake over ^^ [18:18] hello i have a question.. how do i control the brightness in totem using the keyboard? [18:18] Is there a comand to open a GnomeSession from shell? [18:19] doogers: gnome-session [18:19] i mean.. when its playing a movie embedded in the browser is it possible to add more brightness and contrast through the keyboard? [18:19] thx [18:19] ? [18:19] hhmm [18:19] coopster: all are static, I've moved carocal and cosmos to a couple different ports, some on the same switch, and some not, but still haven't seen any logical reason as to the issue [18:19] looks like it's stable [18:19] it's still transferring [18:20] disasm, also, does PSU have required network registration for access? From carocal can you browse the internet? [18:20] moving Futurama-s01-05.tar.gz [18:20] how do I control the brightness in totem when its playing a movie embedded in mozilla? [18:20] 40GB [18:20] francesco: The website did a good job at being an ass about the video urls. They are using iframes which makes it much harder to find things [18:20] ive been trying google but no answer [18:20] I know. [18:20] francesco: But I am still searching. [18:21] MasterWitt: So am I. [18:21] kitche, Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified (gnome-session:28873): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: [18:21] ?? [18:21] coopster: network works fine from carocal, everything outgoing is fine, incoming is fine for any given machine for approximately 5 minutes, and then it dies completely, yet it still listens to other machines on the network [18:21] Are you using the command ftp://, MasterWitt? [18:21] hey, how can i get the frequency of /dev/dsp on my machine? [18:21] francesco: Nah, just searching the HTML code for any form of video format [18:21] ????? [18:22] hey guys...is there any icon replacement software for Ubuntu? [18:22] hello geeks.... am a ubuntu newbie and have got probs with localhost, I posted it in forum but no use... no fixs could someone help out here [18:22] MasterWitt: it seems to be a .asf file. [18:22] Geeks? Not very nice. =[ [18:22] P.S. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3944814#post3944814 [18:22] doogers: that is normal what you want most likely is startgnome I believe is the script [18:22] coopster: what do you know, cosmos just stopped pinging carocal [18:23] MasterWitt: if you open a link and move your mouse on the arrow, the bar shows you the link. [18:23] can someone please assist me? i need to add more brightness to a video using totem embedded in the browser... is it possible to do it by pressing any key or combination of keys? [18:23] ok thax [18:23] disasm: maybe a problem with the switch ? [18:23] how do you add more brightness to a video in totem with the keyboard? [18:23] MasterWitt: then i think it's an asf file. [18:23] midgenator: I'm pretty sure you can't.. [18:23] hey guys...is there any icon replacement software for Ubuntu? [18:23] not possible? [18:24] kitche, startgnome don't exist [18:24] mmmmmm [18:24] mvanbaak: I've moved it to a different switch already though, and that seems to be the only machine experiencing problems [18:24] midgenator: I think not [18:24] Is it good to enable USE_KEXEC in /etc/defaults/kexec so that it always uses kexec instead of rebooting? Does it cause any problems? [18:24] . [18:24] ...frequency of /dev/dsp on my machine how to get? [18:24] disasm: flawky network interface ? [18:24] and if its not embedded [18:24] am having issues with localhost could someone help me out ? [18:24] disasm, hrmm. odd. Offhand I'd say that the fact that it only happens after a machine has had prior contact would make me think that it's some sort of ARP/MAC addressing issue on carocal. if it had a messed up ARP table then it would stop sending responses to the right machines. I'd try putting carocal and another machine on a different switch and trying, and checking to make sure that the ARP entry in carocal doesn't change for a given MAC after i [18:24] t stops responding === _ is now known as MrBlack [18:24] i mean directly in totem there are no keys to add brightness or contrast? [18:25] mvanbaak: I've already disabled the built in network card and tried a pci one, same behavior [18:25] disasm: then check the ARP table as coopster suggests [18:25] midgenator, you could run totem, and use its settins under color display to tweak stuff i guess [18:25] francesco: Yeah its a .asf file which can get complex because I think .asf files can hold advertisements and the actual video itself. The same with when I am on WWE.com, it will show the player, then it will play the first part, then it has trouble going into the ads before going into the actual video. In your case, the stupid thing is being a punk and when I put the .asf url into the totem media player, I get an error like thats no [18:25] midgenator: Not with the keyboard, no. [18:25] disasm: and look for duplicate ip addresses [18:25] ok thanks :) [18:25] maybe two hosts have the same ip ? [18:25] harry_, did you by any chance change your hostname ? [18:26] disasm, same from the other machines, take one that hasn't pinged yet, start pinging, and note the ARP, and see if it has changed after the failure. i'd help more, but must run to finish a project [18:26] midgenator: IF you really need to use the ekyboard, alt+e, then press "n", press "b", then use the left and right arrow keys. [18:26] francesco: I think for the time being, use Windows just to view your lessons [18:26] yup I gave it to be "server" [18:26] disasm, man arp to get the syntax to display the table [18:26] !vlc [18:26] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [18:26] hm...change that from b to alt+b [18:26] I can't use Windows, MasterWitt! [18:26] alt+e, n, alt+b, left/right [18:27] francesco: Why not? [18:27] Copyright problems...:) [18:27] can't connect to the internet via wireless netgear wg111 usb fiesty fawn OS any help? [18:27] francesco: You mean you only have Ubuntu on your machine? [18:27] how do you remove something without it also deleting ubuntu-desktop? 0_o [18:27] Yes. [18:27] oskude : yup I gave it to be "server" [18:27] francesco, MasterWitt, to jump into a conversation without knowing what it's about... I am a big fan of Qemu and VMWare for running a few stubborn windows apps that refuse to be wine'd [18:27] VLC is a little messed up (allways got sound), fullscreen it show the video, in the normal window don't it [18:27] I had Windows, MasterWitt. [18:27] benzs_s: Ubuntu-desktop is a meta package, don't worry about it. [18:27] benzs_s, ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package - removing anything it includes will remove it. [18:27] harry_, hmm i cant find the fix for that... ubotu just says: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab [18:28] anywho, gotta run [18:28] I prefer VirtualBox instead of qemu/vmware [18:28] coopster: Yeah, I personally hate Vmware. Wine is a jerk most of the time so I don't even bother [18:28] coopster, can you load the videos in this page? http://www.consorzionettuno.it/nettuno/italian/corsi_uni/corsi.html === hoxmeade is now known as co_itemanis_oral [18:28] okay oskude, let will check that and will let u know thanks [18:28] anyone know how to easily fix that hostname problem ? please tell harry_ i cant find that info... [18:29] MasterWitt, Why do you hate VMWare? I had to buy a license due to needing something in a hurry, and it's been pretty good to me after that [18:29] francesco: You can still use Windows. If you bought Windows XP or Vista then your license is only good for the computer you purchased it for. I donno why microsoft wants to be a jerk and want u to buy a license for each computer. Thank god for linux :D :D :D [18:29] oskude: what's the problem he is having was busy building a freesbie cd [18:29] coopster: Just to slow. On the other hand, Virtualbox is my savior :P [18:29] !ndiswrapper [18:29] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [18:29] francesco, nope, not from ubuntu [18:30] seriously. must work. have a good one. [18:30] I think the format is .asf. What can you tell me about that? [18:30] coopster: interesting, I did a arping from carocal to itself, and as soon as I ran it, all the other broken connections woke up [18:30] francesco: it's a microsoft format need a player that plays microsoft's format but if it's drmed then your pretty much screwed from playing it [18:30] .asf i believe is a format used in playlist. Meaning within the .asf file, I think you can include advertisements, and other videos. [18:30] disasm: that is interesting ! [18:31] Nobody cracked it? :) [18:31] loke_, Dr_willis: thanks [18:31] hi friends ! i have pb with amule do you have an alternate prog ? my error paste at: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48112/ [18:32] francesco: But I could be wrong on the .asf file. When I played the video from a few places that used .asf extension, totem showed in the playlist other things inside, including a flash advertisement and the video of what I wanted to play. [18:32] dc++? [18:32] .asf is a container format [18:32] mvanbaak: Yeah so I was right :P [18:32] it can contain the video, but it can also contain a playlist [18:32] it's like .ogm [18:33] oskude : /etc/hostname entry shows only a entry "server" but in /etc/hosts it shows 192.168.1.100 localhost [18:33] that can be a video, or a playlist or only audio etc [18:33] # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts [18:33] ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback [18:33] fe00::0 ip6-localnet [18:33] ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix [18:33] ff02::1 ip6-allnodes [18:33] mvanbaak: Yeah. They usually have like an advertisement before the video and then a advertisement after, depending on whats going on [18:33] ff02::2 ip6-allrouters [18:33] ff02::3 ip6-allhosts [18:33] 192.168.1.100 localhost [18:33] !paste [18:33] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [18:33] MasterWitt: most of the time indeed [18:33] harry_: now there is your problem ! [18:33] harry_, i assume you cant use sudo to edit that file ? [18:33] mvanbaak: Yeah, places like Gamespot, Wwe, CNN & things I think have that .asf file but incorported into a flash file [18:33] 19:33 < harry_> 192.168.1.100 localhost [18:33] that is so wrong ! [18:34] oh [18:34] localhost should always be 127.0.0.1 [18:34] !update [18:34] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [18:34] there's no place like 127.0.0.1 [18:34] UbuntuFire: where are the upgrade instructions for release->testing [18:34] hi how do i manually setup my internet configuration? [18:34] loke_ indeed ! [18:34] Madwifi have release a new version, how long can it take before ubuntu release a package for it? [18:34] francesco: Sorry but I'm outta ideas on how to help. Usually I could have found the video source but the website your wanting to work really sucks and makes it complicated to finding your videos. Maybe download DownloadHelper Firefox Extension. That extension scans websites for video formats and you can download them [18:34] Pirate_Hunter: ifconfig + route [18:35] !amule [18:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about amule - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:35] UbuntuFire: I would guess when hardy heron comes out [18:35] mvanbaak: where do i find ipconfig+route is it in synaptic? [18:35] Is it possible to use apt to upgrade from 6.06 to 7.10? [18:35] MasterWitt: to find out the final movie in an .asf playlist use: mplayer -playlist [18:35] it will show what it does [18:35] UbuntuFire: unless the old version is a danger in some way.. securitywise or so.. [18:35] Pirate_Hunter: ifconfig and route are part of base so you have them installed already [18:35] MasterWitt: This only for a university exam?! :) [18:35] Pirate_Hunter: those two commands will be installed by default [18:36] okay mvanbaak, thanks let me change it and let u know.... but plz note that 192.168.1.100 is my sys static IP where in my winx clients access it [18:36] francesco:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006 - if you want to download it. Everytime you go a webpage with a flash file or some video, the icon will start flashing, Then you can download the video. This is like the last resort on possibly helping ya out :P [18:36] guess I need to figure out how to install the source, Slart: nothing like that only that my card got supported in that version :S [18:36] How would I search available packages to find what package provides MIME/Parser.pm ? [18:36] harry_: well the server doesn't need to have that in there the other computers need it in their hosts file though [18:36] UbuntuFire: compiling madwifi from source is easy [18:36] don't want to mess around with it, since i guess it could remove the entier network. The wired still work [18:36] I had to do that on my toshiba laptop as well [18:36] francesco: or try what mvanbaak said above [18:36] UbuntuFire: it's not that hard.. see if there isn't instructions on their site [18:37] how long do dynamic arp entries live before they expire? [18:37] cannonball: dpkg -f /path/to/file [18:37] !find Parser.pm [18:37] UbuntuFire: there might be instructions but then again madwifi isn't really even supported by the madwifi team anymore [18:37] kitche, mvanbaak: im guessing both options are either done through terminal or they are integrated into network tools/wired network [18:37] File parser.pm found in bioperl, gforge-db-postgresql, libconvert-asn1-perl, libhttp-proxy-perl [18:37] I think I misunderstood your question [18:37] there you are, cannonball [18:37] Pirate_Hunter: both are command line tools [18:37] Pirate_Hunter: terminal :) [18:38] Slart: so that package is made for ubuntu. Alright, I'll CPAN it. [18:38] err, isn't. [18:38] well it is the remove ath0 and wifi0 that confuse me, should i remove eth0 and lo also? since they are the only one i got with ifconfig [18:38] So how does one find the package without the help of an IRC bot? [18:38] What about asp format? [18:38] MasterWitt: What is asp format? [18:38] mvanbaak, kitche: isnt there a gui/tutorial or cna you guide me through it [18:38] cannonball: oh.. I think those are for ubuntu.. I don't think cpan packages show up here [18:38] francesco: Well crap, the DownloadHelper is not even picking up the videos on the website, sorry but I donno what else to tell ya. Yeah, I think it also does .asp format [18:38] !info bioperl [18:38] bioperl: Perl tools for computational molecular biology. In component universe, is optional.

[18:39] anyone use xen here? [18:39] AJC_Z0: I think there is something called apt-search [18:39] cannonball, apt-file search foo.bar [18:39] UbuntuFire, lo is loopback needed for any networking at all eth0 is your first ethernet card - removing it may be detrimental [18:39] !info apt-search [18:39] Package apt-search does not exist in gutsy [18:39] francesco: Sorry to cut this short but I gotta leave for work.

[18:40] what news about wine-doors? [18:40] mikefoo, if you eat breakfast you may be asked that - and say no but know a lot about breakfast - so I strongly suggest ____ask the _channel_ the full question____ [18:40] I loved it [18:40] cannonball, and dont wonder, when you install apt-file the first time, it (silently?) downloads the whole list of all package contest, so it takes a while... [18:40] but now seems to be stopped [18:41] Pirate_Hunter: man tells you what you need but route shouldn't really be touched unless your doing something that is not normal [18:41] oskude: Was just looking at it and wondering if it had stalled. Thanks :-) [18:41] MasterWitt. I think I have found the asf file but when i try to download it Totem says "error occured". [18:41] hey? [18:41] cannonball, :) they should add a progressbar to it... [18:41] kitche: command ipconfig is not found in terminal am i doing anything wrong [18:41] someone hear me? [18:41] Pirate_Hunter: ip or ifconfig [18:42] mvanbaak : I changed the local host to be 127.0.0.1 and gave invoke-rc.d networking restart , then too I still cant ping my localhost [18:42] I've found MIME/Parser.pm is in MIME tools - http://www.zeegee.com/code/perl/MIME-tools/ [18:42] matteo_: No, we cannot hear you. [18:42] Pirate_Hunter: sudo ifconfig [18:42] kitche: ipconfig is giving me nilche [18:42] That seems much more likely that sone bio package [18:42] Pirate_Hunter: iFconfig where are you getting ipconfig from? [18:42] harry_, so you where able to use the sudo command ? then its propably another problem... [18:42] harry_: can you pastbin the output of: ifconfig -a [18:43] Is there a way to reconfigure the vmware install that is preferred over just hacking /etc/vmware? [18:43] Slart: Odd, the file MIME/Parser.pm is provided by libmime-perl, but the bot didn't find it. Is the bot limited to which sources it searches for things? [18:43] kitche: hmmm my bad will try that [18:43] Pirate_Hunter: I know ipconfig is from Winodws though :) [18:43] K`zan: aptitude install virtualbox-ose [18:43] ;) [18:43] cannonball: I don't really know.. I thought it searched all packages.. but apparently not [18:43] kitche: yup [18:43] Pirate_Hunter: in linux it is ifconfig [18:43] !apache [18:43] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

netmask should be it [18:45] Locksm: How did you install it? [18:45] Pirate_Hunter: or if you need dhcp just do dhclient [18:45] tried the sudo aptitude install way [18:46] and the unpacking of the 2 files and then doing those manually [18:46] should I try changing it's ip address on the machine and in dns? [18:47] disasm: you can try that [18:47] hi everyone - im using ubuntu 7.10, and just started having a really messed up issue. i updated libcairo2 and libcairo2-dev packages this morning, and then started getting this error whenever i start a mozilla product: "could not initialize the browser's security component. the most likely cause is problems with files in your browser's profile directory. etc." i tried all the answers i could find in googing the issue [18:47] - but to no avail. i get ssl errors with every browser i've tried, as well as with thunderbird [18:47] i've tried reinstalling firefox as well as openssl as well as reverting to earlier versions of libcairo (although i have no idea why this would be the problem...) [18:48] does anyone have any thoughts? [18:48] anyone use xen here? [18:48] mvanbaak, kitche: how do I chnage my ifconfig manually, i wish to assign a static ip on top of my dynamin ip - im going to base it upon this tutorial that worked on XP (http://portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htm) [18:48] awjrichards, when you say you updated it - how was it within ubuntu i.e. security updates [18:48] ompaul - that's correct [18:48] harry_, please don't paste in the channel [18:48] ompaul - it was an automatic update [18:48] awjrichards, have you restarted your gnome session since?

[18:52] Jack_Sparrow, i got the 2 files from the archive [18:52] awjrichards, then I suppose the issue is something else, I guess you got some piece of hardware that choose this moment in history to make an impression on you, pretty hard luck if you ask me. [18:52] Pirate_Hunter: yes, dns servers in /etc/resolv.conf [18:52] Hi, [18:52] I was wondering if there are any programs in linux which allow me to make movies in a similiar fassion to moviemaker in XP ? ive tried Lives,videmux but these only edit one video clip at a time. is there something in which i can place video clips one after the other in order to make a movie ? [18:52] but to run them is sudo filename right ? [18:52] mvanbaak: could u help me plz [18:52] ompaul - you think it's probably hardware related? perhaps bad blocks in the hd? [18:52] hey [18:53] awjrichards, in such a position I would try to use a live CD and check out if the video stuff is happy - if the disk is over 4 years old then I might start to suspect it [18:53] juano_1: will try [18:53] Pirate_Hunter: alt + f2 ---> type gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf line 1: nameserver line 2: nameserver [18:53] ompaul - will do thank sfor your help. too bad im on a brand new laptop (<1mo. old) [18:53] Hi, [18:53] my laptop doesn't recognize the wireless network I set up with my wireless ap router, I don't know what could be causing it :( [18:53] I was wondering if there are any programs in linux which allow me to make movies in a similiar fassion to moviemaker in XP ? ive tried Lives,videmux but these only edit one video clip at a time. is there something in which i can place video clips one after the other in order to make a movie ? [18:54] josh__: not that I know.. but I don't know everything [18:54] Pirate_Hunter: are you behind a router or directly connecting to internet ? [18:54] I looked at cinelerra, but no download link :S [18:54] juano_1: kk lets see how things go [18:54] juano_1: router [18:55] !info cinelerra [18:55] Pirate_Hunter: then actually line 1 in resolv.conf is nameserver then the 2 lines i mentioned before [18:55] Package cinelerra does not exist in gutsy [18:55] is there a way to resize (decrement the size) of an EXT3 partition? [18:55] awjrichards, do the live CD if it works then I think you need to consider that something in the upgrade went badly wrong, it will take you either a few mins to work out what happened, or it will take you hours and hours - you might consider backup of your personal data and then consider a reinstall - there are options in apt-get to get it to check out all the existing packages and make sure they were downloaded correctly and installed right [18:55] ompaul - thanks a lot for the advice [18:55] awjrichards, gtg pity I can't have more time here :-( later [18:56] juano_1: hmmm i dont know the routers ip how do i find out [18:56] Pirate_Hunter: arp -a (in a terminal) , this will give you ip and mac address of all local (tier 2) interfaces connected to your lan [18:56] leitao, gnome partitioner can move and resize partitions [18:57] can someone please help me [18:57] juano_1: thanx [18:57] juano_1: will now try [18:57] !ask | Konam [18:57] Konam: Don't ask to ask a question.

[19:06] hello all [19:06] profanephobia no, but the driver worked, the card is being recognize by ubuntu and I can turn it on (I could not if it wasn't) [19:06] I want people to be able to create files in the folder without making the folder itself deletable [19:06] Henry_: there are modules for different things in iptables.. one module for reverse dns checking.. one module for os fingerprinting etc.. perhaps it's a module it wants? [19:07] is that just chmod 664? [19:07] Pirate_Hunter: it's a good idea to give another one, or else router can mix up name resolving by mistake... just to be sure i suggest another ip [19:07] Slart, i think so, but how do i install the module? [19:07] I have Ubuntu 7.10 , where is Apache2? [19:07] Pirate_Hunter: just as if it were another computer [19:07] Konam, yeah but if it was working right you would have connected to your AP already [19:07] How do you install skins for Audacious/XMMS? === Henry_ is now known as Henry [19:07] karmue: @ [19:07] PiTiVi [19:07] I want to change the config file [19:07] juano_1: already did so :D [19:07] NetLarIrvine: apt-get install apache2 [19:07] oops [19:07] kahrytan: ~/.xxms/skins [19:07] Henry_: I think those are kernel modules..

[19:08] kahrytan: ~/.xmms sorry [19:08] Konam, are you sure your router is broadcasting its SSID? [19:08] ikonia➲ But Audacious is what i'm using [19:08] kahrytan: then why are you asking for xmms ?

I'm not sure this is the right way to do this.. bring a towel and a flashlight just in case ;) [19:10] slart, "command not found" for module-assistant [19:10] NetLarIrvine: yeah /etc/apache2/ [19:10] Henry_: sudo apt-get install module-assistant [19:10] thanks, I think it is named apache2.conf right? [19:10] !info module-assistant [19:10] module-assistant: tool to make module package creation easier. In component universe, is optional.

[19:11] juano_1: i dont even know if it worked??? i did it and it said ok but i dont know if it really worked lol im still connected [19:11] NetLarIrvine, it should be that [19:11] I need a file converter to convert .rm files into appropiate file types for PiTiVi [19:12] Pirate_Hunter: sudo ifconfig , check ip address [19:12] doh.. software firewall was on [19:12] Henry_: hmm. the module might already be installed.. try this.. "sudo modprobe ipt_recent" I even had tab autocompletion there.. sudo modprobe ip gave me a long list of ip tables modules [19:12] slart - iptables is not listed as one of the packages that can be "assisted" [19:12] ikonia: thanx [19:12] josh__, is that rm audio or video?

[19:12] ikonia➲ that folder doesnt exist [19:12] kahrytan: you don't extract the skin files either [19:12] i use kbfx now, but i would like something different [19:13] hmm, sudo modprobe ipt_recent gives no response [19:13] adelie: nope I cant [19:13] Vertz: All you need to do is change the setting in the mouse config in preferences, but you often have to have a Synaptics mouse driver installed, you can see it in Synaptic. [19:13] ikonia➲ that folder does not exist [19:13] Henry_: but the tab autocomplete worked, right? [19:13] is openafs still supported in gutsy? [19:13] newbie289: just 100% packet loss? or some error? [19:13] sudo, yes [19:13] kahrytan: how did you install audacious [19:13] vertz, gsynaptics [19:13] hi there [19:13] Henry_: then try running that software again [19:13] nothing it just hangs.. no results [19:14] Henry_: the one you tried at the start.. [19:14] ikonia➲ repo and I found it, /usr/share/audacious [19:14] juano_1: going to do a full restart [19:14] i mean, slart, yes [19:14] Pirate_Hunter: emm ok [19:14] does anybody know if there is a equalizer plugin for rythmbox? [19:14] the module assistant?, slart? [19:14] ikonia➲ It ignores ~/.audacious/Skins it seems [19:14] Henry_: no.. whatever it was that needed that module [19:14] kahrytan: I didn't say do that [19:14] newbie289: ooh, and under computers that are allowed to access the server, did you include Localhost? [19:14] kahrytan: how did you install audcious [19:14] profanephobia: gsynaptic isnt installed [19:15] slart, still not showing up [19:15] newbie289: I actually just screwed that up myself [19:15] oh [19:15] haha [19:15] slart, when i run shorewall show capabilities, i'm still getting not available [19:15] woow [19:15] newbie289: ..today [19:15] does anybody know if there is either a equalizer plugin for rhythmbox or a gnome vfs plugin for audacious? [19:15] vertz, i meant for you to install it... it gives options for touchpads [19:15] Anyone know where I can find a good tutorial on using htop? Every now and then my computer (1GB) runs out of memory and slows to a sub-sub-crawl until the kernel low-mem thing kicks in and starts killing processes. Using htop I managed to see that there were SEVERAL instances of nautilus listed, all showing 892Mb memory usage. That is insane. Even now, while my load average is at 0.44 I see that there are like 13 instances, even though [19:15] (supposedly) the only nautilus window I have open is my desktop. Why does it show so many dupes? How do I more effectively narrow down which app is eating my RAM ??? [19:15] Kris_ & profanephobia i must have been really fucked up, im 100% sure i didnt see that option on the mouse pref before hehe [19:15] !language | vertz [19:15] vertz: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [19:16] Henry_: hmm.. perhaps it isn't enabled after all.. [19:16] ikonia➲ I already answered that ques [19:16] mojo: did you try man htop and / or info htop? [19:16] kahrytan: answer it again, I missed it [19:16] slart, i think so .. i've had little luck with my google-fu trying to enable it [19:16] ikonia➲ repo [19:16] adelie: no its not included in client's host but they could easily access my localhost under 192 IP [19:16] profanephobia: any need to restart x? cos it still works after i removed the tap to click option [19:16] kahrytan: ok then /usr/share/audacious/Skins exists as I told you [19:17] the closest i could find was http://www.mail-archive.com/shorewall-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg04140.html [19:17] and that didn't do anything at all [19:17] where are the temp internet files located? [19:17] vertz, prolly yes [19:17] newbie289: can you access your own computer from the address on the network? (192.168...) [19:17] lets give it a try :) [19:17] thanks [19:17] np [19:18] Can anyone help me? I cannot log in via a normal gnome session [19:18] thro' firefox I cant [19:18] lamalex: tell me the problem [19:18] only via failsafe, but I can't figure out what's wrong [19:18] mojo: also, something else completly, consider alt-f2 and `gksudo gnome-system-monitor' I like that the best. === profanephobia is now known as better_than_wast [19:18] ikonia: I'm trying to figure out what exactly the problem is [19:18] lamalex: explain to me the problem [19:19] newbie289: for example can you ping yourself from the same address all the other computers can? [19:19] ikonia: I try to log in, it gets about half way (gdm login screen goes away), then X restarts [19:19] lamalex: when that happened to me, there were gnome session files in /tmp that were owned by the incorrect uid and gnome exited. [19:19] cannonball: any idea what those files were called === better_than_wast is now known as profanephobia [19:20] Pirate_Hunter: hod it go ? [19:20] I have installed my new webcam (a Logitech QuickCam Connect) and it works okay in Camorama, but in Ekiga I only get a 160x120 picture [19:21] anyone know how to stop logging name changes and people leaving the room? [19:21] any other ideas about the iptable? and ipt_recent? [19:21] newbie289: if so, can fix that [19:21] profanephobia can I use the one in the repos? [19:21] newbie289: brb [19:21] lamalex: /tmp/gconf-USERNAME/* /tmp/orbit-USERNAME/* /tmp/hsperfdata_USERNAME/*(make sure that directory is owned by correct user as well). [19:21] profanephobia i got it working, but not with the ubuntu-package [19:21] juano_1: it didnt work at first but tried setting it through worked network and did the trick however it dont show my assigned ip address so im guessing it failed [19:21] if anyone has a way or howto for using xorg 7.3 in Gutsy lemme know [19:22] Pirate_Hunter: what ip are you trying to enter ? and netmask ? [19:22] Konam, yes [19:22] Picchio, good to hear [19:22] atlantia don't do it [19:22] Hey, I Need a movie maker, which is similar to windows movie maker? and will support .rmvb files that I can import. [19:22] ikonia: why [19:23] juano_1: 192.168.1.132/ 255.255.255.0 [19:23] cannonball: I was hoping that was it, but it's all owned by me [19:23] I've got a shell script, script.sh, that needs to be run as root. However, trying to call it with sudo script.sh returns a "command not found" error. What is the proper way to call it? [19:23] ikonia: having major issues with intel 915 and resolution on my external monitor, I can afford the chance trust me [19:23] atlantia 7.3 is built against later dependancies than gutsy [19:23] I am having a problem with my sound, on my Vostro 1500. I am following Method 'D' under the wiki's Gutsy Intel HD Audio Controller article. I have a missing file. Could sombody help me? [19:23] ikonia: i figured as much [19:23] adelie, i have looked at the manual but it does not really give me a good feel for how to use it for certain scenarios. i was hoping for a good tutorial. also, htop is console and can run in a VT or shh login whereas gnome-system-monitor is strictly GUI (and I run that, too, in my upper panel) [19:23] slart, any other ideas of what i can try? [19:23] so how do I get flash plugin to work correctly in firefox? I installed flashplugin-nonfree, but it doesn't load flash in firefox, anyone have an idea? [19:24] Hey, I Need a movie maker, which is similar to windows movie maker? and will support .rmvb files that I can import. [19:24] Henry_: I'm googling... I'll let you know if I find anything [19:24] hi! how can i start a custom command at boot up? [19:24] mikefoo: that's it besides restart firefox unless your on amd64 [19:24] (before gdm) [19:24] juano_1: (-_-)??? [19:24] nah im on 32bit [19:24] Pirate_Hunter: then it would be: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.132 netmask 255.255.255.0 up [19:24] slart, oh, cool, thanks .. didn't mean to push, just wondering if you'd lost interest :) [19:24] hello [19:24] hello everybody [19:25] how are you [19:25] adelie: thanks I got that fixed thro' mvanbaak [19:26] Henry_: nope... I have a ubuntu box as a server myself so this is good info for me as well =) [19:26] juano_1: isnt there a gui for this wired network seems not to do anything even knowing it has d correct setting do i have to do thorugh command line? [19:26] I finally got my encryption to work with gnupg ... but whenever i open the tar/zip file it let's me open it without even having to enter a password .. Why is that ? [19:26] newbie289: awsome. Broken hosts list perchance? [19:26] Ximal: because your opening the tar/zip file and not the encrypted file [19:26] so the answer for 7.3 and ubuntu is NO or yes, but with caveats and here's the proper way to do it [19:26] slart, i'm paranoid about ssh attacks, so i'm trying to implement port knocking, but the recent ip is required for this [19:26] which one is the encrypted file ? the pgp file ? [19:27] Ximal: yep [19:27] casue there is a debian release with 7.3 and I am about to use that, but I hate reinstalling, and I use ubuntu for my desktop [19:27] adelie: I just did ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up and it worked [19:27] thank you kitche ... it wasn't doing what i asked it to earlier... thanks much ;) [19:27] sigh [19:28] Hey, I Need a movie maker, which is similar to windows movie maker? and will support .rmvb files that I can import. [19:28] Pirate_Hunter: system ----> administtration ---> network [19:28] hey guys, do you guys know how to bind dhcpd to one device? [19:28] why does it output 2 files though kitche .. a pgp and a tar/zip file ? is what i'd like to know [19:28] how do you create a tar file ?? tar -cvf somefile ? [19:28] where can u get some decent open Joomla Templates? [19:29] xp is faster then unbuntu on this laptop =\ [19:29] juano_1: yea [19:29] ubuntu* [19:29] riotkittie: not working [19:29] Henry_: I can't find any info on enabling ipt_recent.. apart from using modprobe like you just did.. odd that shorewall doesn't see it [19:29] mikefoo: what are the laptop's specs? [19:29] juano_1: lol did that it is the same as wired network well going to restart one more time than going to find a command to show current ip [19:29] eh kitche ? === schlort_ is now known as schlort [19:29] 1.4Ghz/1GB [19:29] Is there any way to manually change webcam resolution in ekiga?

[19:30] because, quite frankly, i don' t think i'm up to compiling th kernel === DtG is now known as SmoothOp [19:30] any hard core ubuntu peeps wanna chime in on this let me know. I'd like to hear some pros and cons, cause right now, running at this resolution is horrible [19:30] extra commas included [19:30] tyczek: when they feel like it but there is a radeonhd driver now for r5xx/r6xx written by Novell which will be good [19:30] errr. atlantia, why not just change the resolution then? why do you need 7.3 to do that? [19:30] tyczek, go to phronix's site, they have lot of stuff about ATi including something called the trugh about ATi or something, which outlines their development cycle [19:30] Henry_: I don't think so.. we're not compiling netfilter.. and the module is already there.. I think it's even enabled.. although smoothwall doesn't see it [19:30] Hey, I Need a movie maker, which is similar to windows movie maker? and will support .rmvb files that I can import. [19:30] Hey, I Need a movie maker, which is similar to windows movie maker? and will support .rmvb files that I can import.

[19:31] atlantia: just dow hat your going to do if you mess up your kinda on your own [19:31] josh__, you are gonna get kicked for flooding [19:31] josh, have you searched google [19:31] You know: I need good driver for Radeon mobility HD 2600 [19:31] Yes, but non allow me to run real media files [19:31] I need to connect my CRT monitor >.> [19:31] Mojo, no-one would answer. [19:31] I just installed ubuntu and am getting the "minimal bash-like line..." message at boot [19:31] slart, oh, i see .. just browsed the man page for modprobe [19:31] slart, i agree, i think that should've worked too :( [19:31] is this due to the installer being broken? [19:31] josh__: you've done a good job of getting ignored by everyone [19:31] IceGuest_7: what do you mean? [19:31] josh__: don't flood the room [19:32] josh- try looking for the codec in add/remove programs list, that will support your file type [19:32] it seems that X crashes when I try to log in [19:32] Henry_: you can get a list of modules too.. lsmod... try lsmod | grep -i ip [19:32] but I'm not seeing any errors in the xorg log [19:32] lamalex: ~/.xsession-errors [19:32] kitche: yeah i know that, and i am hopefully proficient enough to manage the process. What i would like to find is a solution to the issue. No matter what path. [19:32] lamalex: because X isn't crashing it most likely gdm [19:33] josh__, (1) sometimes you have to wait a bit for a reply, not everyone is glued to their monitor (2) if nobody knows the answer, you probably won't get a reply. try other channels like #linux or search the chan list for linux/video related channels and maybe someone will know there. (3) google with good search terms. like "linux" and "rmvb". [19:33] good lord. that was obnoxious. [19:33] are suggested and recommended dependencies needed for a package to work [19:33] 7.11 is good for my lcd laptop... but when I connect CRT it's messing my xorg... [19:33] kitche: i mean, I would think that 1280x1024 on a monitor that does 1680x1050 would be enough of a PIA to seek *some* solution.. [19:33] slart ipt_recent is listed there [19:33] !iptables [19:33] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [19:33] I had a vauge answer for him as well [19:33] does that mean it's installed/enabled? [19:33] atlantia: get 915resolution it fixes your problem [19:33] riotkittie: eehh worked... im so dumb i forgot the tar archive name [19:33] juano_1: oops :) [19:33] hmm.. I wish .xsession-errors was time stamped [19:33] kitche: tried that, I either didn't know how to use it or it didn't work [19:34] riotkittie: :) [19:34] Henry_: I thought it meant that it was installed and the number after it was how many other modules that were using it.. but now I'm not sure any more [19:34] well, another computer has that ip address, where that computer is, I have no clue. I think my supervisor has an admin login to the switches and can look up what port the computer is connected to tomorrow when he's in, Changing the ip fixed the problem though [19:34] kitche: I think x /is/ crashing [19:34] slart, my # was 10392, which would be a surprising number of dependencies [19:34] :) [19:34] kitche: AFAIK, you install the package, it updates it's script in init, reboot, happy time.. however, from what I understand, the things it does was supposed to have been fixed with the latest intel driver [19:34] lamalex: if X is crashing it wouldn't take you back to gdm [19:34] Henry_: ah.. no. .the number after that one.. [19:35] Henry_: perhaps you somehow have to restart iptables for it to enable the module.. [19:35] kitche: well, the screen goes black, the nvidia splash screen comes up, and then gdm. So it's not just straight back to gdm [19:35] atlantia: maybe but the latest intel driver doesn't work the way it's suppose to it makes some intel chipsets crash [19:35] yay [19:35] hurray for iwl3945 [19:35] finally my thinkpad is running stable on wireless [19:35] lamalex: yep that is X /var/log/Xorg.1.log should show you something [19:35] anyone know any secrets to enabling desktop effects on an ati x1150 integrated... or is that just laughable? [19:35] Java won't start when I go to a page with a java applet in firefox [19:36] kitche: well, i imagine that parameter is pased in xorf.conf somehow [19:36] my wireless wasnt bad [19:36] kitche: i have spent over 2 days time working on it, gave up to get real work done. If you know of a straight forward howto or something let me know [19:36] slart, oh .. then my number is zero [19:36] m winmodem was irritating [19:36] slart, which makes sens [19:36] e [19:36] Henry_: yes.. mine too [19:36] !915resolution | atlantia [19:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about 915resolution - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:36] kitche: do you think... those drivers will be good for hd2600? [19:37] I just installed ubuntu and am getting the "minimal bash-like line..." message at boot, is this due to the installer being broken? [19:37] tyczek: umm radeonhd driver is barely useable right now [19:37] lol [19:37] hi. where in the compiz manager do I enable the application shuffle? this is like alt+tab, but a different effect. [19:37] also... anyone having trouble installing a flash plugin? [19:37] it used to be win+tab [19:37] well neither are the nvidias [19:37] Orionnn, read topic [19:37] raposa: join #compiz-fusion [19:37] i have noticed that all discussions avoid dealing with the issue directly [19:37] kitche: i'll try, thanks [19:37] kitche: .1? not .0? [19:37] i had desktop cube running on my 7800gt jus fine [19:37] Orionnn: which web browser are you using [19:37] atlantia: just look up 915resolution since there is tons of tutorials on how to use it [19:37] someone knows about openoffice patches from ubuntu? [19:37] crdlb, thanks. [19:38] lamalex: yes .1 since .0 is the lastest X log that is running [19:38] firefox [19:38] kitche: .... lol ty [19:38] wols: thanks for that .xsession-errors file [19:38] it's fulll of stuff [19:38] how do i install grub from the liveCD with the configuration from my HD install? [19:38] raphink, there are a few variations, the ring switcher, the shift switcher, etc... install compiz advanced desktop effects settings manager... looking for the package name, 1sec... [19:38] atlantia: but that is your issue which you don't believe but then again the intel drivrs don't work very well they might work on your chipset they might now [19:39] kitche: oh i know it's the issue, the question is how to address it [19:39] blech... im just going to return this notebook and get a 8600m gt [19:39] Orionnn: go to synaptic package manager->Settings->Repositories and check, if universe and multiverse are checked [19:39] Java crashes whenever I go to a page with a java applet.

[20:09] yes [20:09] Pirate_Hunter: edit /etc/network/interfaces and change dns in /etc/resolv.conf [20:09] Slart: does lsmod show it ? [20:09] I've installed libdvd3 [20:09] ikonia: yes [20:09] dido^: you installed libdvdread3 and ran the shell script in /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3 install-css.sh? [20:09] rocket2143: look thru ur menu it might have made an option [20:09] Slart: then it's loaded [20:09] and it's ok [20:09] but [20:09] ikonia: so we blame shorewall then? [20:09] the video is white/black [20:09] Slart: I would yes, where was shorewall installed from ? [20:09] ???

[20:10] rocket2143: type in tempest in terminal [20:10] ah ok [20:10] ikonia: i'm trying to follow the port knocking instructions from http://www.shorewall.net/PortKnocking.html [20:10] disasm, thank you it worked!! [20:10] FluxD: Hold on..It came up with a set-up file, now we are going somewhere [20:11] but libdvdcss3 work! [20:11] Henry_: let me have a quick glange at that [20:11] dido^: That is WHY we have that help page.. If only people would read it [20:11] ikonia: the first thing is that you need to have recent match in the iptables and kernel [20:11] FluxD: Works! Thanks! [20:11] but the video is white/black [20:11] ikonia, thank you for helping [20:11] rocket2143: np [20:11] for playing DVD, i just used the automatix system tool and it DLed the restricted codecs and it worked just fine...^^ [20:11] daws: glad to be of service, I'll send you my bill j/k :-P [20:11] Jack_Sparrow, thanks for putting everyone down [20:11] dido^: And where did you find libdvdcss3 [20:11] disasm, I should pay you :D [20:11] Henry_: I think I see a potential issue, [20:12] Henry_: but I can't be certain without more research [20:12] ikonia: when I type "shorewall show capabilities" EVERYTHING comes back as not available [20:12] I've used apt-get tool [20:12] !automatix | RoDoX [20:12] RoDoX: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [20:12] Henry_: oooh [20:12] Henry_: maybe not [20:12] in linux , can we make any program use a proxy? [20:12] daws: consider it paid in full, just help someone else out if you see them have the same problem ;-) [20:12] Henry_: it looks like two of the modules that guide mentioned have been replaced by newer iptables functions in later kernels [20:12] Henry_: that potentially explains part of the problem [20:13] right im trying to boot from the live cd as i have no HD on my other PC [20:13] ikonia, that's odd, the guide is dated at Oct 28, 2007 [20:13] i get this error K/bin/sh: cant access tty:job control turned off [20:13] Henry_: I think some updates have been missed [20:13] disasm, will do, I've learned more from that solution than just fixing that specific problem [20:13] Henry_: sometimes it references current modules, sometimes it references the old names [20:13] Henry_: it's no big deal [20:13] How to do for resolving this problem? [20:13] Henry_: although I'm worried why you have nothing enabled [20:13] daws: I said nothing to you. But get anoyed at people like rocket that go find something off the web and bug us to make it work.. and refuse to read the help file provided by the peop[le that made the package [20:14] ikonia, i agree, it seems rather odd [20:14] Henry_: just researching, I'm fine with uptables, but not with shorewal [20:14] ikonia, do you need a list of what it says? [20:14] FluxD: I can't view the forcast..when I click more it just does nothing [20:14] shorewall [20:14] Henry_: a pastebin of it wouldn't hurt [20:14] Jack_Sparrow, understandable, but I thugh you said something about me before; sorry if you didn't [20:14] rocket2143: - the package is not an ubuntu package. Speak to the people you got the package off [20:15] daws: nope.. [20:15] there someone for helping me in pvt? [20:15] shorewall show capabilities [20:15] Shorewall has detected the following iptables/netfilter capabilities: [20:15] wols: what exactly do i edit in interface, it dont give much to change so what should i add [20:15] NAT: Not available [20:15] Packet Mangling: Not available [20:15] Multi-port Match: Not available [20:15] Henry_: wait !

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) [20:16] i just reinstalled and dont have svn command tab completion anymore ... how can i enable it? [20:16] dido^: did you verify you have libdvdcss2 installed as well as read3 [20:16] Myrtti: sorry, I should have been more explicit [20:16] lol henry_, I thought you were a flood bot [20:16] how do i setup my own personal website with apache? [20:16] hehe, no kicking here, very peaceful :) [20:16] hey everyone, my apologies [20:16] Henry_: You were warned earlier about pasting into the channel [20:16] ikonia: yes, you should've [20:16] lol [20:16] hobbit, install and enjoy [20:17] rocket2143: I dont know might wanna ask in their forum [20:17] no no, my bad, really [20:17] move along [20:17] hobbit_: sudo apt-get install apache2... there.. done =) [20:17] Not like #python ;) [20:17] in linux , can we make any program use a proxy? [20:17] Henry_: NOT acceptable [20:17] Slart, ha real funny [20:17] hobbit_: well.. it's true [20:17] yo guys im trying to get maplestory.exe (for windows) to work with my linux... i know i need to work wine but i have no idea how to set it up... i only downloaded the game... but i havent installed it i think [20:17] hobbit_: it's seriously that easy [20:17] !wine [20:17] 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. [20:17] Jack: i was warned before? [20:18] listen to slart [20:18] dido^: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh [20:18] Slart, i did tht but idk how to get apache to register with the domain i chose [20:18] yes i know flare... but i need to run my windows game [20:18] Henry_: I can double check but you were kicked from the channel [20:18] Henry_: stop arguing, your the one that flood pasted the channel, so I wouldn't argue if I were you [20:18] how do i set it up with that [20:18] i'v just done [20:18] hobbit_: don't host websites on your dsl lines [20:18] hobbit_: oh.. you want a domain name.. that's a whole other thing.. [20:18] can anyone help me with ldap client setup on gutsy? [20:18] Tupsik, in gnome, go to system -> preferences -> network proxy that might be the thing you are looking for [20:19] Slart, well wait a moment [20:19] * Kuropon tawns [20:19] y* [20:19] Jack, not arguing, i thought i was kicked because of a nick collision, not a paste violation [20:19] Slart, lets clarify here then [20:19] Jack, but again, sorry, definitely won't happen again [20:19] Henry_: Nope, you pasted then too [20:19] lamalex: edit /etc/ldap/ldap.conf, set your BASE and URI, and either SSL on or off depending on ldap server [20:19] cleaton: that will make ALL applications work through a proxy? [20:19] guys i would rather see one person PASTE FLOODS THE CHANNEL then argue about it for 30min [20:19] disasm: I've done that, and I'm running into a weird problem [20:19] Jack, oh, then doubly sorry, will bookmark pastebin right now :) [20:19] Slart, what do i do to make it accessible to others? [20:19] hobbit_: most home connections aren't made for public websites.. ie no reverse dns etc.. but you can try dyndns for a simple but free domain name.. you could get for example hobbit.dyndns.org to point to your apache server [20:19] getent passwd won't pull down my list of users, but getent group will [20:19] lamalex: what's the problem? [20:19] !network proxy [20:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about network proxy - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:20] disasm: ^^^^ [20:20] * Kuropon lurks [20:20] hobbit_: connect to the internet? [20:20] hobbit_: but basically anyone can type http://XXX.XXX.xXX.xxX in their webbrowser.. (those x's are supposed to be your ip-number) [20:20] tonyyarusso, yeah id like to be able to access my webpage from another computer [20:20] does anyone already installed vmware workstation on Ubuntu AMD 64 bits [20:21] I'm having trouble getting a DVD to play, per instructions I found on the forums, I downloaded Automatrix and installed the multimedia codecs, and then I installed VLC...still nothing. Any suggestions, or links for directions? [20:21] lamalex: do you need to authenticate to get the list of users? [20:21] Tupsik, i guess so, unless they are setup to go around those settings. if you want to do a even deeper proxy i think it's possible via iptables [20:21] why don't you go to videolan.org [20:21] does somebody has a ubuntu gutsy on AMDX2 installed? [20:21] hobbit_: You don't need to do anything special at all. A domain name is convenient, but as soon as you're connected with apache running, it's accessible. [20:21] for the dvd [20:21] not sure tbh, where would that be in the server config [20:21] Hello. Is the mercury package (for the Mercury programming language) actually maintained? [20:21] tonyyarusso, so my website would then by my ip? [20:22] hobbit_: yes [20:22] pope22, Try to go to http://www.videolan.org/ [20:22] rocket2143: click the house and change ur location [20:22] tonyyarusso, well i have a router so i guess i have to do something in there? [20:22] Iwanowitch: try checking the changelog [20:22] hobbit_: run "ifconfig" in a terminal.. somewhere in there is a ip-number.. don't type it in here.. but tell us.. does it start with 192.168... or is it something else? [20:22] hobbit_: yeah, forward port 80. [20:22] all the 'good' things ive been told about automatix just faded away....should i uninstall it first and keep the codecs or what? === PhilKC_ is now known as PhilKC [20:22] tonyyarusso, i have a 192 address [20:22] disasm: not sure tbh, where would that be in the server config [20:23] RoDoX: You cant just uninstall it.. [20:23] !automatix [20:23] why not? [20:23] automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [20:23] how small is it possible to get an installation of 7.10 to be? Could I get it to fit on 256mb? [20:23] ikonia, any luck there, or is everyone still angry about the paste thing [20:23] RoDoX: ask the automatix people.. [20:23] disasm: it's a dapper server [20:23] RoDoX: If it could just be uninstalled.. it wouldn't be so much of a problem [20:23] Slart, so since its a 192 then what? i know thats just my internal ip [20:23] lamalex: it would be in slapd.conf, in the access lines [20:23] K4k: Depends on what features you need. [20:24] hobbit_: http://www.portforward.com/ [20:24] hobbit_: then you need to forward connections to port 80 on your router to your ubuntu computer [20:24] tonyyarusso, I just need a base install so I can install to a computer with no cd drive, I am trying to get an image that will basically just boot from a pen drive [20:24] hobbit_: listen to tonyyarusso [20:24] tonyyarusso: last change in 2004, I guess not... What knowledge/resources are required to start maintaining it? I'm not promising anything, but it would help out many students in my class. [20:24] videolan.org is the site for VLC as it turns out, while i should have remembered that, i already installed VLC, and still the dvd will not play. [20:25] lamalex: my server read * to all, since I don't store passwords in ldap (have kerberos handle that), so I'm not sure if you need to set the dn somewhere or not [20:25] does the main server contain the codecs need to run dvds? [20:25] i installed vlc viz synaptic [20:25] via* [20:25] K4k, damn small linux or puppy linux [20:25] seriously? [20:25] lamalex: I have to get going, have a meeting in half an hour and have to replace two ups batteries before the meeting! good luck! [20:25] hobbit_: just fyi.. ip-numbers starting with 192.168, 10. and one more are "special".. they are used for internal networks.. computers with those ip-numbers are usually not reachable from internet directly [20:25] hola amigos, una consulta, llevo bastante tiempo con un servidor lamp montado en debian sarge con xfce con una velocidad muy buena, ahora con el mismo hardware, misma configuracion y ubuntu 7.10 va lento, bastante lento en local alguien se ha topado con el mismo problema?? [20:25] The instructions i followed had me download Automatix then install "multimedia codecs" through that program to run DVDs [20:25] !es [20:25] Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [20:25] (it didn't work btw) [20:25] hobbit_: do you know if it is possible to install DSL and then from there somehow install ubuntu to a hard drive? [20:25] YESSS [20:25] !es | nanus [20:25] nanus: please see above [20:25] disasm: thanks [20:25] Slart, yeah i know because of NAT [20:26] disasm: and no, auth is not required to read [20:26] K4k: The JeOS ISO is 151 MB. [20:26] It wors succefully now!!!! [20:26] *works [20:26] Iwanowitch: That'd be a question for #ubuntu-motu [20:26] :) [20:26] hello [20:26] oops, excuse me - wrong channel [20:26] thaks guys [20:26] K4k: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos [20:27] K4k, yeah its possible just have to have a bios that supports usb boot. You would have to change that to be your first boot device [20:27] Hey i cant get videos to load on Youtube. Can some help me figure out why? [20:27] if there is an update in gutsy-proposed, will it automatically appear as a regular update in Gutsy, or do I have to enable gutsy-proposed to ever get this update? [20:27] yea, I know how to do all that, the trick is is getting an OS to be on my USB drive [20:27] I'm running fiesy fawn, and need to quickly convert a video from .avi to .h264. What program do you recommend? [20:27] !flash | Rockoman [20:27] Rockoman: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [20:27] and then somehow installing on the hard drive once booted to the usb drive [20:28] K4k: pendrivelinux.com [20:28] oliver_g1: You'd need to enable -proposed to get it now, or just wait for it to get to the real -updates. [20:28] tonyyarusso: thanks [20:28] Jack_Sparrow, that's where I found the ubuntu guide for getting it to the pen drive, but I don't have 1GB [20:28] troythetechguy: avi is a container format, whereas h264 is a video encoding format. Be more specific for what you're trying to do. [20:28] Flash is aready installed [20:28] Hi, I set /var/www to 755 and index.php to 664, I can edit index.php and save through my network, But I can't write new stuff to the folder. But if i change /var/www to 664 I can't view the web server. [20:28] tonyyarusso: do you know how long it usually takes for such an update to get out of gutsy-proposed? [20:28] the drive on the computer is 4GB and my only jump drive is 256/512mb (can't remember exactly) [20:29] oliver_g1: can't say I do [20:29] K4k: you can go the persistent route, and boot livecd and save changes only to the usb [20:29] troythetechguy: what's in the avi now? mpeg2, mpeg4, mpeg4part10 (h264 aka divx), xvid, etc [20:29] Rockoman: did you install Flash recently?`If so, it is currently broken as it seems [20:29] cannonball, I'm need to send my video to revver, and they asked for it in h.264. I originally made the video with my digital camera, and it was saved at .avi. [20:29] Rockoman: How did you install flash? [20:29] I installed it last night and its showing its installed in my package manager [20:29] Jack_Sparrow, interesting, I shall look at that [20:29] synapic [20:29] troythetechguy: mplayer file.avi and watch for mplayer output that says what the video format is. [20:30] cannonball, I think I know what your saying now. [20:30] Rockoman: "Flash plugin Installation is currently broken, a fix is on its way" [20:30] K4k: A little slow to boot the cd.. but does work well.. Does NOT work on feisty, Dapper and Gutsy ..yes [20:30] Rockoman: :-) [20:30] Um hey, my 7.04 to 7.10 update broke halfway, [20:30] What do I do now? [20:30] anyone know of an event or meeting management package for Linux? [20:30] Rockoman: (I have the same problem, and am waiting for the update) [20:30] oh ;x [20:30] I need a substitute for windows movie maker able to import .rmf iles to make an amv [20:30] I need to be able to read and write to /var/www/ directory but still need to be able to browse via local internet. [20:31] so i just have to reinstall it when it gets updated? [20:31] Jack_Sparrow, o that's the method they said requires a minimum of a 1GB pen drive to work...might that possibly work on 512mb? is there a way to make it somehow save less data or something? [20:31] anyone had this problem: x-chat > network list > edit would not open ? [20:31] josh__: er hi [20:31] Rockoman: I think so... There will probably come out an update (soon I hope :) which then magically fixes flash :-) [20:31] K4k: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence I have it here on a 256 [20:31] josh__: do /nick zejosh [20:31] I need a substitute for windows movie maker able to import .rm files to make an amv === josh__ is now known as zejosh [20:31] Jack_Sparrow, thank you [20:32] np [20:32] !rm | zejosh [20:32] zejosh: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [20:32] oh [20:32] thats not right ^^ [20:32] The updater said scrollkeeper didn't update properly or something, but after a bunch of dependency errors, it reran the scrollkeeper update. But then it just exited [20:32] thanks ;] [20:32] zejosh: gimme a sec [20:32] anyone know of an event or meeting management package for Linux? [20:32] Err, after finishing the updates that had been plauged by the dependency errors [20:33] is there a way to download packages from gutsy-proposed manually? They are apparently not available at packages.ubuntu.com [20:33] zejosh: ask for an equivelent? [20:33] where to? :) [20:33] zejosh: there most definatly is one out there [20:33] zejosh: here :P [20:33] zejosh: check in synaptic and add/remove program [20:33] I need an equivalent for windows movie maker able to import .rmf iles to make an amv [20:33] bloodniece, try google calendar? [20:33] whats is broadcast in interface? [20:33] Have done [20:33] tonyyarusso, i did the port forward so now how do i access the webpage from outside of my network? [20:33] non support .rm files, [20:33] i need something for catering too [20:34] I want to get some suggestions about which file system to use in my new install of Ubuntu [20:34] zejosh: just realised, cos its a windows format and is propietary, there may not be a linux equivelant [20:34] hobbit_: should just have to put in your WAN IP. (http://www.whatismyip.com/) [20:34] LazzU: we have exchange, but we need more of a db for event management [20:35] would it be possible to emulate releasing a joystick button/axis? For example with a delay of 0.5 sec [20:35] realmedia is available on linux, making it work for linux also? :S [20:35] tonyyarusso, yeah i tried that didn't work. I put in my internal ip and it showed up [20:35] cannonball, I'm having issue opening the video with Mplayer, but I right clicked on the file and went to properties: Motion JPEG is listed as the video codec. Does this mean anything? [20:35] I Just need a converter then for realmedia files? [20:35] troythetechguy: yes it does. [20:35] In /etc/network/interfaces what do i type for network & broadcast? "which ip(s) are that?" [20:36] cannonball, I'm going out on a limb here, but does it mean MPG is the file type? [20:36] Is ReiserFS good to use? [20:36] Pirate_Hunter: man interfaces. depends what you want to do [20:36] troythetechguy: motion jpeg is very simple. It's just a series of jpeg pictures. So 25 frame per second motion jpeg video is 25 jpeg pictures per second. [20:36] Andycasss: I doubt. You'd need to patch the kernel to do that. Userspace apps can't usually change data read from devices like /dev/input/js0 [20:36] wy: not unless you have a specific reason [20:36] how do i enable dma on my dvd player? [20:36] troythetechguy: frequently it's referred to as mjpeg.

[20:37] svladcjelli: How do you feel it different? [20:37] troythetechguy: Do it from the commandline. [20:37] I need a substitute for windows movie maker able to import .rm files to make an amv [20:37] saschahl: I dont have any clue what to do now, is there any way to acomplish something like that in some other way? [20:37] wy: unless you need it, stick to ext3, but it is apparently faster with lots of small files [20:37] ikonia, not trying to push, but wondering if you're still working on this, or given up? [20:37] !repeat | zejosh [20:37] zejosh: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [20:37] how do i enable dma on my dvd player? [20:37] zejosh, no love on google huh?

[20:38] none of them support .rm files [20:38] :S [20:38] svladcjelli: Why stick with ext3? Changing a FS doesn't sound so hard [20:38] did someone call me ? [20:38] So has anyone noticed that the ubuntu stickers form shipit and the shop smudge really wasilly? [20:38] zejosh: you can do it in mencoder [20:38] easilly* [20:38] mencoder? [20:38] ikonia: henry [20:38] ikonia, here here, me me !! [20:38] zejosh: sudo apt-get install it [20:38] svladcjelli: Does Reiser have some shortcomings? [20:38] wols: (-_-)??? any ideas [20:38] wy: experiment on something that you will not be sad to lose, and get a feel for it yourself... [20:38] sorry, I'm just on the phone, I'll be with you shorlty [20:39] ikonia, ok, no worries, take you're time, and thanks for your help [20:39] troythetechguy: not quite. Just saying "let's verify that mplayer sees it as a motion jpeg video encoded format" as well. [20:39] I just discovered some additional folders in /home/ - wanted to see if two of them were actually normal [20:39] "netlogon" and "pdf-documents" - I don't recall creating them. [20:39] zejosh: http://jeff.langcode.com/archives/9 [20:39] svladcjelli: I tried to copy a file of size 4.3G to my ext3 partition but I failed some time ago [20:39] svladcjelli: does it support .rm files? [20:39] zejosh: you may need to install extra codecs [20:40] svladcjelli: where from? :) if in terminal what commands? [20:40] zejosh: i gave u a link [20:40] zejosh: it is not necessarily easy [20:40] whats the equivlant of ogginfo for flac files?

[20:42] don't see ya zejosh [20:42] In /etc/network/interfaces what does network & broadcast mean and what do I type for this? [20:42] svladcjelli: start one with me then. [20:42] <_FR0D0> how do i install debuild in dapper? [20:43] troythetechguy: so it's 320x240, no need to scale up or down, that's pretty small. Also 15 frames per second, again, no need to adjust that. We will adjust the framerate if you want it to. 1200 kbps is a good one to use. [20:43] troythetechguy: let me assemble a possible commandline for ffmpeg (the program which will do the conversion. [20:43] zejosh: sounds like fun! [20:43] Andycasss: you can have your joystick generate keyboard events, with or without auto repeat [20:44] So I've got an NTFS partition that's messed up.. the index is gone so all the data is there but needs to be re-found.

[20:46] saschahl: doesnt this produce the same effect?

[20:46] anyone know about my problem? [20:47] my volume slider on the laptop messes with "headphones" and not the pcm channel [20:47] Andycasss: depends. the xf86-input-joystick input driver can emulate auto repeat [20:47] casey_: run alsamixer from the console [20:47] i did, but when i move the voume slider it messes with headphones, it needs to mess with pcm [20:47] troythetechguy: ffmpeg -i infile.avi -vcodec mpeg4 -b 1200k -acodec mp3 outfile.mpg [20:47] casey_: Right-click the volume slider. [20:47] casey_: there should be a toggle with detect headphones or like [20:47] troythetechguy: caveats to follow [20:48] casey_: Should be a properties dialog you can set which channel to mess with. [20:48] casey_: look in the switches section of vol control [20:48] In /etc/network/interfaces what does network & broadcast mean and what do I type for this? [20:48] everytime i start my Xubuntu i get "check forced".. what can i do to fix this ?. plz help [20:48] troythetechguy: it doesn't adjust the audio bitrate at all. It may be higher than it needs to be. A typical setting would be '-ar 22050 -ab 96k' (before the outfile.mpg argument). [20:48] hi I just generated a gpg key and it show a pub and sub field [20:48] pub 1024D/49518FEF 2007-12-13 [20:48] My partition magic reports errors after I installed Linux. Is this normal?

[20:49] i set the channel to pcm [20:49] Stupid question of the century: how can I just simply copy a DVD? k3b is failing, saying it doesn't know how to copy "multi-session" DVDs. None of the common burning programs seem to be able to do this. I just need to copy a fragging DVD. [20:49] Pirate_Hunter: man interfaces. depends what you want to do [20:49] I'm wondering if my partition table is correct [20:49] svladcjelli: so what should i do ? [20:49] troythetechguy: Also, I have seen mpeg4 specific settings of '-g 300 -bf 2' that may affect the quality of the output video. Again, goes before the filename argument. [20:49] oops. bad paste [20:49] but the slider on th outside of the laptop still messes with headphones === playya__ is now known as playya [20:49] I'm sorry... to apply this patch should I have compiled madwifi 0.9.3.3 or is it included ? [20:49] sulle: you can try doing a manual disk check, but... it can be dangerous [20:50] :S [20:50] cannonball, Thanks so much for your help! [20:50] troythetechguy: basically we're not changing much other than telling it to convert from (whatever is there) to mpeg4 and to lower the video encoding rate from (whatever is there) to 1200k. [20:50] Pirate_Hunter: it's printed right there. and what to put depends on the subnet you use [20:50] svladcjelli: pm me howto ? so i can try =) [20:50] svlad or cabbage [20:50] troythetechguy: You're the lucky beneficiary of things I researched to convert my daughter's soccer dvd to various quality flash videos to put up on the web. [20:51] sulle: it will depend on your setup, but a general hint is at http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2714208&postcount=14 [20:51] sulle: you can search for fsck [20:51] i switched to pcm but the slider on the laptop still does headphones and not pcm [20:51] cannonball, I imagine that was a lot of time and work to get that figured out! [20:51] So I've got an NTFS partition that's messed up.. the index is gone so all the data is there but needs to be re-found. What should I use to do this? [20:51] Hello.

Let's call them "Mac" and "PC". Mac runs OSX and WinXP. PC runs Ubuntu Gutsy. Mac connects directly to the internet, via ethernet/pppoe, and should serve the connection to the PC via wifi. When Mac runs OSX, all is well, the PC with Ubuntu can see the connection and connect (though only if I set Ubuntu wireless interface to "managed" mode a [20:59] nd use "restricted" key). When Mac is running WinXP, I can't connect. I use the same essid and password when Mac is on WinXP, but XP "automatically" sets the auth mode to open. I tried changing the mode to ad-hoc and the key to open on Ubunut (via iwconfig), to no avail. The successful connection when Mac is running OSX tells me there is no driver or hardware problem, so this must be a configuration problem. Anyone can help getting this t [20:59] try kopete [20:59] svladcjelli: yeah I have backups but only very recently have I made many edits to both the website and email config. [20:59] o work? [20:59] JackJusto: I'd rather have it in my mailer :) [20:59] mikebot: they use the same irc, jabber, icq, msn, aol, etc [20:59] "netlogon" and "pdf-documents" - I don't recall creating them. [20:59] I just discovered some additional folders in /home/ - wanted to see if two of them were actually normal [21:00] smithw [21:00] SoulPropagation: Thanks. [21:00] wols: Thanks,. [21:00] please do not post such big articles [21:00] it clutters the chatroom [21:00] smithw: thats a windows problem. sry [21:00] casey_: sorry. I was trying to be specific about the issue. [21:00] I just discovered some additional folders in /home/ - wanted to see if two of them were actually normal "netlogon" and "pdf-documents" - I don't recall creating them. [21:01] i understand but [21:01] (Sorry for the repost.) [21:01] the article was rather humongous [21:01] phaidros: Then I guess the answer between Evolution-RSS and Liferea comes down to personal choice. [21:01] phaidros: windows wireless handling is buggy here and there .. so, use mac os x or ask windows-wise-guys :) [21:01] JackJusto: right :) [21:01] smithw: get a router :) [21:01] anyone a hint for using module-assistant to get vmware-server modules built from source? [21:02] tonyyarusso: hope that answered your question. [21:02] phaidros: install vmware from source [21:02] phaidros: those vmware server modules, are they a .deb? [21:02] casey_, sorry, I won't do that again [21:02] vmin /usr/srv I have now vmware-server.tar.bz2, but what to do in the ubuntu way with it? [21:02] JackJusto: yeah, guess I'll try both [21:02] svladcjelli: why should I? I'm asking for module assistnat :) [21:02] phaidros: nothing. there is no "ubuntu way" for tar.bz2 [21:03] ares221 [21:03] wols, yes. [21:03] phaidros: tar xjvf vmware.tar.bz2; cd vmware; sudo ./vmware-install.sh [21:03] phaidros: for m-a you need prepared deb packages [21:03] wols: aptitude search vmware-server-kernel-modules-source or like this .. [21:03] Hi all: Is there a security risk in running VMPlayer 1.0 in Edgy? [21:03] phaidros, yeah, I figured it could be a win problem... so, ok, no internet for ubuntu when I'm playing, haha [21:03] All: Finally got sound working on ALC655/AC97(SIS) codec. Posted my debugging process, as possible HOWTO, at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=637969. Thanks all for the help. [21:03] paradon: then check module-assistan. it will tell you if it can work [21:04] hey i have a quick question about my desktop, i just installed Compiz, and i enabled the cube settings, but i only have two desktops and I cant view a cube. Sorry im a noob [21:04] svladcjelli: any idea what I could've deleted that caused users to be unable to login via SSH or IMAP/POP? I was in /root with Cyberduck and I selected a load of files and removed them (in /root). [21:04] or generally, a risk in running windows virtualized under ubuntu? [21:04] phaidros: if you really want to use m-a it works, but i have installed vmware-server many hundreds of times, and straight up install is what is best [21:04] phaidros: if it's shown in there, it wokrs, not if not [21:04] wols, svladcjelli: in my repo is a package: vmware-server-kernel-source .. I wanna make use of it .. [21:04] jamey-uk: nothing in /root should play a part [21:04] aw crap, so how could this be :/ ? [21:04] phaidros: good luck then ;) [21:04] jamey-uk: probably an issue elsewhere [21:05] Rockoman: I believe you have to go into desktops and select how many desktop you want. [21:05] but why does it surface the precise moment i do that... [21:05] jamey-uk: set up a firewall recently? [21:05] nope [21:05] only spamassassin [21:05] wols, svladcjelli there must be a reason for buntu people to bring a package like this, and amke a dependency to module assistant .. so I'm just woindering what the idea behind is .. o.O [21:05] what is your error [21:05] it doesnt give that option [21:05] m-a prepare && m-a a-i vmare [21:05] phaidros: i don't package, i just use stuff [21:05] vmware-server-kernel-source depends module-assistant .. so there is a way to install the modules with module-assistant .. right? [21:06] phaidros: ^^ [21:06] hm, ok then :) [21:06] I got #motu :) [21:06] all you have to do is run m-a [21:06] then follow menu [21:06] s/got/go/ [21:06] svladcjelli: did that, nothing to follow there .. [21:06] svladcjelli: I told him repeatedly. he ignored it [21:06] yeah [21:06] phaidros: then you didn't look [21:07] oh [21:07] there is lots of info on the web, just go check it out [21:07] wols, thats why I asked for a howto or such .. [21:07] I _am_ to dumb for the m-a interface, but I _am_ looking for rtfm :) [21:08] i posted how to do it above, you just run sudo ./vmware-install after unpacking the archive phaidros [21:08] phaidros: I gave you the command(s) above [21:08] that is the 'easy' way [21:08] svladcjelli: it's the wrong way too [21:08] and the harder one later on [21:08] wols: tell me how [21:09] svladcjelli: with m-a [21:09] is anyone in here familiar with ALSA and JACK, and have any idea how to fix the ALSA configuration to work with JACK in gutsy since the package is apparently broken? [21:09] svladcjelli: I believe thats the wrong way for having a stable app-tree and long-living installation of your box .. [21:09] hey i have a quick question about my desktop, i just installed Compiz, and i enabled the cube settings, but i only have two desktops and I cant view a cube. Sorry im a noob [21:09] and how does that install vmware-server? wols [21:10] phaidros: you should use virtualbox if you want it to be done through apt [21:10] hm, never tried that :) [21:10] cause vmware-server is a proprietary closed source app [21:10] good idea [21:10] svladcjelli: I know about the lisence and am not happy. anyway, I have to use it .. [21:10] thanx wol & svladcjelli [21:11] you do, but don't expect it to be easy on a free platform necessarily [21:11] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXc_slQNRD0 [21:11] VMware player is open source....

[21:12] phaidros: use the commandline [21:12] well its free anyway...

[21:15] Rockoman [21:16] wols said that a long time ago :) [21:16] svladcjelli: really? damn, must have overread it :( sorry [21:16] robert_: You can type MYVAR=myvalue myprogram like A=x env [21:16] robert_: no. you cannot change the parent's environment from a child [21:16] does anyone know how to control the fanspeed on a Foxconn P9657AA-8EKRS2H? [21:16] its a p965 board === esoterik is now known as [esoterik] [21:17] wols, did I say "change the parent's environment from a child"? [21:17] i just installed Compiz and i enabled the 3d desktop, i just dont know how to work it [21:17] i d like to slow down the cpu fan [21:17] and its only showing 2 desktops, i dont know how to rotate the cube or anything [21:17] buenas, sabeis si hay alguna aplicacion tipo dvdshirng? [21:17] robert_: you said change a environment variable when exeucint a program [21:17] wols, I want to change the CHILD'S ENVIRONMENT from the PARENT. [21:17] Rockman read the doc [21:17] robert_: and if you meant something else: ask more clearly [21:17] sorry [21:17] robert_: sure. write a script [21:17] you have to configure compiz [21:17] Rockoman, all you have to do is drag windows to the left or right [21:17] i recomend having 4 desktops, for the cube [21:17] wols, the problem with that is bash can't handle long filenames [21:18] and then installing compiz-settings-manager [21:18] robert_: huh? [21:18] or whatever its called, someone will quote me on that [21:18] Rockoman: join #compiz-fusion [21:18] ^^ even better idea [21:18] rob_: 127 characters is is not short. [21:18] list [21:18] how do you check permissions from the command line? [21:18] adelie: ls -l [21:18] wow, so I can't even type a name correctly :-( I should go to sleep. [21:19] Kris_: I think it's compizconfig-settings-manager.. but I'm having problem remember the exact name too [21:19] im trying to fix my friends box, but he lost the taskbar at the bottom - the one where applications minimize, how do i get it back [21:19] wols: thanks [21:19] paragonc:> kde or gnome? [21:19] gnome [21:19] paragonc: gnome-panel [21:19] paragonc: right click top panel say new panel [21:20] if you deleted it [21:20] yeah what he said [21:20] im not sure what he did - i have the application / system / places menu [21:20] wols, so I can't export something (from bash) to every application I start using bash? [21:20] robert_: I told you [21:20] module-assistant went fine, now I have the prob, that I cannot open or create vms .. is greyed out in the server .. any hints? [21:20] robert_: you can [21:20] wols - it says gnome-panel is already running [21:21] I'd have to wrap everything though [21:21] yeah paragonc just create a *new panel [21:21] o word [21:21] paragonc: svladcjelli gave you the answer [21:21] which seems a bit infeasible. [21:21] the gnome-panel program must always be running [21:21] #ubuntu-de [21:21] robert_: You can use export VARIABLE=value to have a variable present for every command that you run. [21:21] people don't read well here === pwnt- is now known as Muse [21:21] I know whenever you sudo something, you only need to type in the password again after some 3 minutes idle or something. is there a way to tell the computer to 'forget' recent authentication? [21:21] it added another panel to the bottom, but windows wont show up in them when minimized [21:22] svladcjelli: any ideas why vmware-server cannot open/create vms? (is greyed out) [21:22] also the destkop view icons are missing - [21:22] prolly cause it is not installed properly? [21:22] robert_: You can use "VARIABLE=value program" to have a variable present for just one run of program. [21:22] adelie: you can specify the interval before it forgets somewhere.. probably a sudo config file [21:22] paragonc right click the newly created panel, then add to panel [21:22] hi... how can i create a menu entry (gnome-applications menu) from the command line? I think i just need the location of the correct .desktop files...? [21:22] svladcjelli: hmm [21:22] stroyan, yes- is there a way I can accomplish that automatically, no matter what I run, without using a script? I already export it using bash, but the application doesn't seem to pick up on it [21:23] gary_inNYC which item do i add to it so it shows minimized windows [21:23] or is there some bash script that runs before an application runs? [21:24] If you have exported a variable then programs run from the shell prompt will inherit that setting. You may have some startup in .bashrc or elsewhere that overrides the value. Try running "env" and see what it says about the variable. [21:24] robert_: http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/UnixAndC/Unix/ShellIntro.html#tth_sEc4 [21:25] anyone know where the sudo config file is? [21:25] adelie: /etc/sudoers [21:26] adelie: You should use visudo to edit that file. [21:26] ikonia, ok, just fyi, i'm going to get going. thanks for your help. i'll try to come back later and see if anyone can come up with an answer [21:26] adelie: but you can't edit it normally [21:26] adelie: you have to edit it with visudo [21:26] adelie: or you can reset it by doing "sudo -K" if you're looking for just that [21:26] how do i get ubuntu networked with windows (ethernet) to use a modem on windows === KinkyBlackGoa_ is now known as KinkyBlackGoat [21:27] I think this chorus is a little out of sync. ;-) [21:27] kiiz: use ICS on windows, that's it [21:27] er, I should have been more specific- before BASH runs an application. [21:27] kiiz: but how to do that is offtopic here [21:27] kiiz: just use static ips and make the windows machine be the gateaway of the ubuntu one (in windows enable conection sharing_) [21:27] All: What is the default PasteBin command line tool for Ubuntu? [21:27] robert_: you've been told at least 3 times by now. do you even want an answer? [21:28] wols, creating a wrapper for every application that uses OSS is lame. [21:28] thanks [21:28] how do i install the following kernel module: pca9540 [21:28] ? [21:28] robert_: put it in your bash startup scripts [21:28] ya the application still dont show up on the bottom panel [21:28] I tried, and it still refuses to do anything. [21:29] TBotNik_1: The package name is 'pastebinit'. [21:29] wols, perhaps your answering him comforts. [21:29] TBotNik_1: # apt-get install pastebinit [21:29] robert_: Did you run env ? Did you see the variable set in the output of env ? [21:29] how do i install the kernel module pca9540 [21:29] ?

[21:30] * AprilHare recently installed alien and fakeroot packages as part of the installation of the office 2007 plugins for openoffice.org and during the installation it asked for the live cd. is it possible to rule out that data source so i don't have to dig out that cd again? :) [21:31] :( [21:31] TBotNik_1: Can you ping paste.stgraber.org?

I am going to install antivirusprogram so I can scan the window HD also attached to this computer (dual-boot). Does anybody have recommendations on what to install? [21:32] erUSUL: it is a lmsensors I2C mux [21:33] erUSUL : its for an i2c adapter driver [21:33] pegasos:> avg [21:33] i need to adjust my cpu fan speed [21:33] @flare183: but katapult shows only one app at a time [21:33] !antivirus [21:33] antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus [21:33] so i have to get lm-sensors to work [21:33] the driver is not going to work according to what I posted ssn [21:33] ddmdllt:> yeah exactly [21:33] hey my panel at the top of the screen dissapeared after i enabled 3d desktop, how can i get it back? [21:33] thanks Flare183 and Slart [21:33] np [21:33] stroyan, I saw it in env when bash starts up (it automatically 'set', but it wasn't in bash when I typed in 'env' again) [21:34] you're welcome, pegasos [21:34] but pca9540 and f71882fg are missing [21:34] is there a good to for finding and replacing huge blocks of code in multiple files in a dir? [21:34] ssn: i have the latest linux kernel here and only has pca9539 so i guess you have to compile a lm-sensors snapshot [21:34] sanguisdex: sed [21:34] @Flare183: so I'll continue with katapult... [21:34] How can I get my panel at the top of the screen back? [21:34] ok [21:35] @Flare183: thanks [21:35] what about f71882fg? [21:35] np [21:35] is anyone in here familiar with ALSA and JACK, and have any idea how to fix the ALSA configuration to work with JACK in gutsy since the package is apparently broken? [21:36] Rockoman: restart gnome-panel perhaps? pkill gnome-panel first to kill it off properly.. perhaps it autostarts a new one.. perhaps you have to run gnome-panel manually [21:36] what about f71882fg? [21:37] hi, i just installed the linux-rt kernel on gutsy, but when rebooting why can't i choose between the normal kernel and the RT one? it picks the rt one like if the old one is "gone", i would like to be able to choose myself [21:37] how do i do that? i just restarted my computer and its still gone [21:37] how come after installing flash from add remove programs i still cant view youtube [21:37] is it possible to link a certain output to a key-combination? (eg make output "text" in gedit/firefox/...) [21:37] Rockoman: oh.. still not showing up even after a reboot.. then I don't know what's wrong.. sorry [21:38] awesome [21:38] finally [21:38] there we go [21:38] can anyone recommend a good personal media player that plays well with ubuntu? I'd like both audio and video, and preferrably cheap.... I was looking at the sandisk sansa series, but they seem to have tiny screens [21:38] hi, does ubuntu come with perl? [21:39] I had to `export env "blah=blah"` for it to work [21:39] bosky101: yes [21:39] Can anybody help me get the default panel back? [21:39] erUSUL: thnx [21:39] Matir`: I have had great luck w/ banshee [21:39] Rockoman: Open up a terminal and type in gnome-panel [21:39] Rockoman: you can try turning off compiz, or right click existing panel and say new panel [21:40] soulpropagation: restore the mbr [21:40] Matir`: archos is not bad, but no ogg support [21:40] how do i get to a terminal? ;/ [21:40] i dont have a panel to access it [21:40] rockoman, alt+f2 type xterm [21:40] anyone know a good way to stream music over the web with no domain name ?

All I can do is rolling the dice. [21:41] it says a panel is already runnung [21:41] ctrl-alt-backspace to restart graphics Rockoman? [21:41] still the same [21:42] Viking: a quick fix is to alt-f2, and `killall gnome-panel' [21:42] sanguisdex, banshee? [21:42] yeah [21:42] can some 1 huhs god at the game go private wid me [21:42] Viking: that will at least get the panel back. why it disappeares, I don't know, but it is fixed in 7.10 [21:42] yes,but it's not permanent. === syscall is now known as syscall__ [21:43] Viking: why not upgrade, if you don't mind me asking [21:44] L3ON: different people have different levels of expertiece. May wan to ask your question first [21:44] does any one know where i can get more copons from ones iv used dem up [21:44] I don't know if every package from 7.04 will be available on 7.10; I don't want to loose data in case of an error ..... [21:44] But It's the right thing to do ... [21:44] Viking: no way to backup data?\ [21:45] L3ON: no idea what that means [21:45] Viking: and anyway, it is much better to do a clean install anyway [21:45] is there a way to turn off all the system messages from IRC? [21:45] I agree [21:45] but ubuntu has made upgrades very easy [21:45] i do not do clean installs for upgrades [21:45] L3ON: Coupons for what? [21:46] hello all. i just isntalled ubuntu and grub wont work. getting the Error 2. looked it up and cant seem to find an answer. using live cd now. some help :p [21:46] adelie: which client? [21:46] There is a way,but not allways time to burn a coupple of dvds. [21:46] svladcjelli: for distribution upgrades it is good if you have manually configured a lot of stuff [21:46] adelie: but then by default you have to reconfigure all that stuff [21:46] myrttti: Pigdin [21:47] svladcjelli: except that I have found a lot of config tweaks for one distribution often are not compatible with the next, especially when the tweak is built in to the distribution, or there is a fix that no longer makes it necessary [21:48] anyone get metasploit working? [21:48] they won't do that very often [21:48] i have never had that problem that I know of [21:48] since we are talking baout same distribution, just versioning [21:48] svladcjelli: Of course next time with 8.04 i'll debconf anything that gives me trouble afterwards [21:48] scripteaze: yes why what is your problem [21:48] adelie: i suggest to use a *real* irc client like xchat (but not xchat-gnome) or irssi ;) [21:49] Anybody know how to get back the orginal Panel at the top of the screen? [21:49] can someone explain waht it means when directories are highlighted in green when I use terminal? [21:49] what's wrong with xchat-gnome? [21:49] I am having permissions problems with these folders [21:49] Rockoman: debconf gnome-panel? [21:49] crackintosh: they are most likely not directories it probably means they are executable [21:50] they are directories, they are followed by a / [21:50] erUSUL :( boo [21:50] ha [21:50] thanks a lot! [21:50] erUSUL: does Pidgn just suck like that? [21:50] crackintosh: well you can make a directory not seem like one but a directory should not have the execytable perm on it [21:50] Rockoman did that work? [21:50] adelie: it is in the options of pidgin [21:51] nice [21:51] traffic is so bad up here I can't even get out of the parking lot [21:51] yeah [21:51] thanks [21:51] I've been trying to find documentation on how to connect to a VPN (L2TP/IPSec) server... any help? [21:51] people are abandoning cars on the highway [21:51] hello all. i just isntalled ubuntu and grub wont work. getting the Error 2. looked it up and cant seem to find an answer. using live cd now. some help :p [21:51] adelie: well it is designed for IM not for IRC... ;) [21:51] kitche: the letters themselves are not green, the whitespace around the character is green [21:52] is there a debian channel here? [21:52] Rockoman no problem. program not work well, debconf to the rescue ftw === [esoterik] is now known as esoterik [21:52] thi is ubuntu channel qwaz [21:52] i have another issue ;/ [21:53] one of the games i installed isnt working but is working on my laptop [21:53] adelie: Look at the Join/Part Hiding plugin. It comes with Pidgin. [21:53] and its also running ubuntu 7.10 [21:53] hi [21:53] erUSUL: Do you know where the option is in Pidgin? [21:53] it says "failed to execute child process "tmw" no such file or directory [21:53] adelie: plugins [21:53] !o4o [21:53] Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu. Controversial topics, which always turn into flamewars: war, race, religion, politics (unless related to software licencing), gender, sexuality, drugs, questionable legal activities, removing of oneself from the planet (except by space or time travel) are not for here, perhaps #off-topic or ##politics. Microsoft software in ##windows (Please note Freenode Policy) - Thanks. [21:53] mana [21:54] crackintosh: could eb the same thing since it depends on what terminal application you use [21:54] svladcjelli: THANK YOU!!! There were 3-4 times as many system messages as actual chat [21:54] kitche: http://foodserviceresearchinstitute.com/etc/images/greenletters.jpg [21:54] adelie: ;) [21:54] !offtopic [21:54] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [21:54] is there need for a software firewall in ubuntu if it's behind a hardware firewall? [21:54] arnath01➲ Ubuntu already has a firewall [21:55] kahrytan: installed & run by default? [21:55] arnath01➲ yes. [21:55] kahrytan: which one? [21:55] crackintosh: I know what you mean that still means it executable it's how the gnome terminal application does it [21:55] !iptables | arnath01 [21:55] arnath01: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [21:55] How can it be configured to let Skype connect to the net ? [21:55] Does anyone know why The Mana World wont work ? [21:55] Thru firestarter [21:55] arnath01: the firewall doesn't run by default since it has no rules to apply to [21:55] arnath01➲ it's call iptables. [21:55] ah ok [21:55] arnath01: with all machines, even windows machines (despite what windows tells you) you should NOT use a firewall on your computer when on a VPN [21:56] hello all. i just isntalled ubuntu and grub wont work. getting the Error 2. looked it up and cant seem to find an answer. using live cd now. some help :p [21:56] adelie: why is that? if you open the correct ports, it should be fine no? [21:56] arnath01: well iptables runs just doesn't do anything [21:56] arnath01➲ by default, Ubuntu how no open pprts [21:57] what is the line in file in /dev? [21:57] I believe Skype uses a range of ports.Maybe random. [21:57] arnath01: you can use a fw and vpn no prob [21:57] kahrytan: the UTF-8 encoding whenever you say someone's name makes your messages hard to read sometimes [21:57] has to be configured right obviously [21:57] Kitar|st➲ It's an arroe [21:57] got a question. when you start ubuntu it comes up with the loading screen instead of printing out kernel commands [21:57] arrow [21:57] well my question was more aimed at: is it necessary to have the firewall (or in this case the rules of the already running firewall) in place? is there much of a threat to ubuntu on this level that a hardware firewall does not take care of? [21:57] arnath01: unless you are concerned about malicious attacks from people on your VPN, it is just an unnecessary hassle. On large networks it is sometimes good to put subnets behind firewalls in case of coworkers infecting the network with viruses, but aside from that, you are safe [21:57] what program does that? [21:57] Hey I just installed a game and its telling me theres no such file or directory when I goto play it, how can I fix it? [21:58] kahrytan: thats actually not entirely true anymore. Avahi is open by default, but its the only one. [21:58] Rockoman: from the repository, or ? [21:58] yeah the add/remove list [21:58] arnath01: if you've not installed server software, you're fine [21:58] Flannel➲ Whats that [21:58] i instaled it on my laptop withoiut a problem [21:58] Rockoman:Maybe that game is dedicated to some other distro ? [21:58] Rockoman: what game, if you don't mind? [21:58] no my laptop is running the same distro [21:58] The Mana World [21:58] Myrtti: i have, apache server, ftp, and the likes, but they all get blocked by the hardware firewall [21:59] kahrytan: Avahi is what lets you find network services on your local network. [21:59] well, then [21:59] You've typed: Hey I just installed a game and its telling me theres no such file or directory when I goto play it, how can I fix it? [21:59] which version of linux runs well on 256 mb? [21:59] Any [21:59] any [21:59] cool thanks [21:59] adelie: as i said i do not use pidgin as irc client; sorry [21:59] Myrtti: ok, yet another rephrasing then :D are there any other threats such as trojans etc that are pervasive in ubuntu systems that i should be aware of? [21:59] arnath01: security is always a tradeoff between user-friendliness and security - the choices are yours based on how paranoid you are and how much you mind figuring out firewall issues [21:59] But not with every graphics manager. [21:59] hello [22:00] yeah that was my concers [22:00] hi there [22:00] *concern [22:00] is there a shell command to open an app in a specific workspace? [22:00] sd32_: xubuntu [22:00] 256 is low for ubuntu [22:00] ad32_: DSL is the best smallest (near) full distribution. anything lighter weight is for embedded devices [22:00] svladcjelli, thanks [22:00] Flannel➲ oh [22:00] svladcjelli: i'm pretty paranoid but try to balance it out by a critical view on my paranoia :P [22:00] I'm looking for a programm to search and download podcasts in ubuntu [22:00] arnath01: there isn't any ports open without your knowledge by default. [22:00] There are a lot of lightweight window managers. [22:00] Myrtti: ok [22:00] Myrtti: Does avahi ask you on bootup or something? [22:00] xfce is the default in xubuntu [22:01] Flannel: huh? [22:01] blackbox ... [22:01] arnath01➲ you have used windows for far to long [22:01] any ideas? i've searched but can't find the command [22:01] I'm looking for a programm to search and download podcasts in ubuntu [22:01] i don't get that, to my knowledge, there is no firewall blocking ports in a default install [22:01] which organization is dealing with internet standars: a)microsoft b)Netscape c) The World Wide Web Consortium ? [22:01] kahrytan: well actually i've been meddling with linux for quite a while and switched everything i have to linux bout half a year ago :P [22:01] C [22:01] frojnd: all of them? this is the problem? [22:01] anyone here running ubuntu with a ide->compactFlash adapter?

[22:02] kahrytan: it's in my nature ;) [22:02] arnath01: Welcome to the world of Linux. There are virtually no threats otherthen the ones you create, and that even requires a little work. [22:02] adelie: hehe :P [22:02] kahrytan: yes I know...but I'd like to search some repos like the iTunes one with it [22:02] svladcjelli: does the eeepc come stock like that?

[22:04] komputes: delete the %gconf.xml in the ~/.gconf/apps/panel/general directory, rebooot, and gnome will recreate the file.

I installed MySQL and try to start it by going to /etc/init.d/ and typing "mysql start" but it says " Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'". [22:10] scragar: you can get the list from Synaptic under details -> dependencies. If you want to do it from a command line, only way I know is to grep the package with `^Dependencies' [22:10] arnath01: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager#head-41669d33dd37ace3464ac217a60ffac444fff514 [22:11] erUSUL: it's an iso for windows vista that i burned before and it worked when i burned it from windows in alcohol-120% [22:11] pegasos: your probably missing mysqld.sock [22:11] FluxD: try with a specific device 'sudo lsof /dev/snd/ [22:11] jqubuntu: that is a good joke!

[22:11] svladcjelli: ? [22:11] is there any way to link together two computers that have wifi, without going through a router? is that what adhoc is? [22:11] yeah thats adhoc [22:11] pegasos: it happens all the tiem that is missing but it should have been installed [22:11] FluxD: sorry 'sudo lsof /dev/snd/pcm*' [22:12] kitche: Yeah, that seems to be missing. Where could I get it? [22:12] joebobjoe: you may not be able to run it, or you may need to install the driver - try going to system>administration>restricted drivers and enable one for your video card [22:12] Rockoman: adelie: Never mind, thanks again- sudo debconf gnome-panel (requires restart) [22:12] komputes: Temporary??? how? (dumbfounded and overwhelmed with cognitive dissonance). Did you just try that and have a failure? [22:12] joebobjoe: What is your question? [22:12] erUSUL: what is mixer_app? [22:12] svladcjelli: i enabled the driver, now it says that [22:12] adelie: well i did it under sudo so once the term was closed it reverted back to no panels, but then they showed up after reboot [22:12] thanks [22:12] arnath01: I have no idea actually. [22:13] joebobjoe: reboot? [22:13] i did already, but ill try again [22:13] FluxD: the sound volume applet on the upper right corner (double click on it) [22:13] komputes: Linux should never require a restart. Did you restart the xsession, or atleast gnome-panel? [22:13] erUSUL: figured out the problem thx [22:14] adelie, don't spread propaganda, linux needs to be restarted as much as windows does [22:14] adelie: no, i simply did "sudo debconf gnome-panel" [22:14] jqubuntu: it should have worked dunno why it failed; as i said it have allways worked for me [22:14] greenT: ha ha :) [22:14] greenT, I disagree. [22:14] FluxD: and it was? [22:14] greenT, I've never seen a Windows box with 100+ days of uptime [22:14] Hey [22:14] hi [22:14] Matir`, I do [22:14] adelie: it showed up as long as i was SU as the root user, but once I closed the terminal window the bar went away, after a reboot it came back to default bars [22:14] erUSUL: couldnt run xmms coz flash in firefox was using it [22:14] you don't have to reboot, just easiest way [22:14] i have a windows machine serving multimedia and used as a web browser box...what makes windows have to reboot? only installing drivers, etc [22:15] same as in linux [22:15] Matir`: we had to take down our email server when we physcially moved it this year... had 700 days uptime :-( [22:15] adelie: but thanks a lot for your help, i learned a lot [22:15] hello, where can I find help on xmodmap? [22:15] hi there, how do I get to the "network manager"? [22:15] komputes: oh, in that case, for future reference, `sudo kill -1 PID' where PID is the id of the gnome-panel process would have done it :) [22:15] FluxD: i see [22:15] Where could I get mysqld.sock -file, which is missing...? [22:15] coorporal, have you tried reading the manual? man xmodmap [22:15] adelie: does it also restart it or just kills it? [22:15] svladcjelli, can you be more specific? [22:16] pegasos: if you're talking about the socket file, that's created when you run the Mysql server, what is the error you're getting [22:16] greenT: I read it but still I have problems... === TechnoViking is now known as MikeB [22:16] kelsin: " Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'" when i try to use "mysql start" in the folder [22:16] Can anyone help me with doman forwarding? [22:16] blizzkid: that article is pretty specific [22:16] coproral, what are you trying to do? there's a little information if you scroll down on http://erusan.googlepages.com/archhowto.html [22:16] greenT: you never NEED to restart... it is just the easiest thing to explain to a newbie [22:16] you probably want a command like "echo 'mytest'" [22:17] adelie: how long has your ubuntu box been online/ [22:17] svladcjelli, yes, about running commands, and "echo" doesn't work [22:17] Hello, how do I get to the Network Manager please. [22:17] pegasos: is your mysql server running? [22:17] svladcjelli: i rebooted, same thing happened; i am using bootcamp on an intel imac [22:17] greenT: I'm going to read the webpage [22:17] I have a strange problem. When I change my screen resolution to 640x480 to play starcraft, the resolution is like a skinny rectangle [22:18] hey can anyone help me with a FOF error? [22:18] kelsin: Frankly, I'm not sure. :D If it needs to be manually turned on, very possibly isn't... How do I check? [22:18] komputes: ... need is different than do. I like to save power :) [22:18] pegasos: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql status [22:18] adelie: right on, well thanks again [22:18] pegasos: if it's not you can probably start it with "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start" [22:18] hi guys...quick question. When I first installed Ubuntu, nautilus had a checker pattern background...but this has now gone [22:19] komputes: but I have (once) switched kernels without restarting. that was cool... but way too much work [22:19] how can I get it back?

[22:19] greenT: xmodmap -e "keymap 151=36" this gives me error [22:19] Ricky_Rat: System-Administration-Network [22:19] kelsin: pegasos@pegasos-desktop:/etc/init.d$ mysql status [22:19] ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [22:19] ok, 1 last question. using the command line how do I get it to reinstall something, instead of saying that it's already at current best version? [22:19] K`zan: tried running it with gksudo? [22:20] greenT: what drivers require restart in Linux... aside from the "request" to restart after the nvidia non-free drivers? [22:20] scragar: sudo apt-get reinstall should do it I migt be wrong with the reinstall part but you could try it :) [22:20] K`zan: or sudo if it's a command line application.. I can't remember [22:20] greenT: which, again, only requires a restart of the xsession [22:20] someone to help me ??please [22:20] E: Invalid operation reinstall [22:20] !ask | SoteriouLoucas [22:20] SoteriouLoucas: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [22:21] pegasos: ok you should probably just type "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql status" like I said, if you want to goto the dir you still need to type "sudo ./mysql status" [22:21] pegasos: /etc/init.d is not in the path, so running "mysql status" still calls the mysql client program, not the script in /etc/init.d [22:21] hi is there any irc proxy for ubuntu === Tonus_ is now known as Tonus [22:21] I am supposed to go into network manager by clicking computer icon on top bar - it should say Wired Network, vpn connections and manual connection...

Well, just mixed the repos with debian and ubuntu (again) [22:36] I'm running 7.10 and when I do a rkhunter -c there is a warning on usr/bin/find, now I know there is quite alot of false alarms in rkhunter but is there someone else here who can confirm it? [22:37] wraund: I installed Ubuntu as soon as I got the machine. So I don't know whether it worked on Windows [22:37] !version [22:37] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [22:37] lenorek: possibly a bad connection [22:37] slart: It's a very complex cipher I developed [22:37] eldkraft: hang on..

[22:38] eldkraft: nope.. no warning for "find"... but warnings for some other commands [22:38] lenorek: wellim not saying it is, but if it was, take the side of the machine and check [22:38] wraund: so I just make sure the plugs are in properly [22:38] slart: ok, do you have the pre-release repos enabled. Maybe there is some update I've done that is causing this [22:38] wraund: ? [22:38] lenorek: yeah [22:38] eldkraft: nope I don't.. that might be it perhaps [22:38] lenorek: but to be honest i doubt it is that [22:39] lenorek: possibly something to do with software [22:39] lenorek: people have had the eror before, google it [22:39] * wraund goes to sleep!

[23:31] apt-get install k3b-mp3 [23:31] flipmode: synaptic has an addon for k3b [23:31] UBUNTUISLOVED, not a solution [23:31] Anybody know of a CD Ripper better than Sound Juicer; it is very limited? [23:31] kbrooks search firefox start faster on google [23:31] kbrooks: i think there is an add-on at firefox.com addon section that lets you tweak stuff so it will start-up a bit faster. However, you could always use lynx or w3m if you want quickness [23:31] BB88: have you tried serpentine? [23:31] cd ripper why not use one from the command line? [23:31] No. Is that availble in the Synaptic? [23:32] UBUNTUISLOVED: that is not a cdripper [23:32] BB88: xripper ? [23:32] Slart: I wanna be more specific, I have a HiFidelio (a music server) which is running yellow dog linux.. and can be accessed by telnet , this music server can burn audo and mp3 discs... i have tried the commands you gave me but none of them worked, any suggestions? [23:32] I like the LTS versions, so when the next one comes out (which I'm not sure is when?), will I be able to update directly to it? [23:32] http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=firefox+start+faster&btnG=Search [23:32] ikonia: Is there a installer package? [23:32] UBUNTUISLOVED: do you have a question ? [23:32] Instead of updating to Edgy, then Gusty? :| [23:32] BB88: I'm not %100 if xripper is in the ubuntu repo's [23:32] SonicChao: you should be able to go from lts to lts [23:32] BB88: I think it is.. do a search for serpentine [23:32] (then the next LTS version?) [23:33] !release | SonicChao [23:33] SonicChao: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [23:33] Benalex: what commands did I give you? [23:33] ikonia yes they make cdripper from the command line [23:33] BB88: i use grip [23:33] UBUNTUISLOVED: please don't talk nonsense [23:33] abcde is one [23:33] Slart: you gave me cdrecord.. and some people suggested wodim and growisofs [23:33] UBUNTUISLOVED: if you are attempting to troll, I will request you leave now [23:34] ikonia im going to warn you to stop ! this is your warning [23:34] Benalex: ah.. they didn't work? were you able to install the programs? [23:34] UBUNTUISLOVED: You're not helping anyone by giving incorrect advice. [23:34] loke_: it's being delt with [23:34] erUSUL: How would I go about install 'grip' ? [23:34] I can install packages... [23:34] UBUNTUISLOVED sounds like a bot :P [23:35] BB88: Applications>Add/remove [23:35] Benalex: and were any of those packages available for your machine? [23:35] Ok!: downloading and configuring jircii manually, anyone have a video on how to do it?! [23:35] Grip is not the repo's? [23:35] quit [23:35] !info grip [23:35] grip: GNOME-based CD-player/ripper/encoder. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.3.1-12ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 457 kB, installed size 1304 kB [23:35] Slart: aha.. I got your point... I'll do some search about burning packages available in yello dog [23:35] Wait, it is, I had the combo-box set to installed only ;) [23:35] Jack_Sparrow, the wiki page on TimeBasedRelesaes doesn't really answer this [23:36] Thank you erUSUL. [23:36] Benalex: do that.. or ask in a channel for your distro.. they will probably know better [23:36] SonicChao: You can't skip from one lts to the other. There will be too much "breakage". [23:36] BB88: no problem [23:36] SonicChao: I seem to remember that you will be able to go from lts 6.06 to the next lts.. without the other steps [23:36] i want firefox to, and this is the key word, start up, faster [23:37] Slart: have you heard about xcdroast? [23:37] Jack_Sparrow, you can't, not without a reinstall [23:37] kbrooks: disable all the extensions you may have [23:37] Jack_Sparrow: LTS to LTS should work, there are questions over glibc upgrades [23:37] Benalex: perhaps.. the name sounds familiar.. but isn't that a gui application? [23:37] kbrooks: how do you know that? [23:37] kbrooks: look at pre-linking [23:37] uh...what? [23:37] LjL: he doesn't [23:37] ikonia: thats what I thought [23:37] I can or can't? D: [23:37] Hi, does Ubuntu 7.10 Server have a GUI? [23:37] LjL: standard issue randomness [23:37] yeah that did not work [23:38] jftsang: not installed by default [23:38] SonicChao, ok, can, but the questions lurk over your head ;-) [23:38] Slart: I don't know , but it is listed in Yellow dogs accessories [23:38] kbrooks: you want a faster browser? install epiphany. [23:38] jftsang: No, the server edition does not come with a gui pre-installed. [23:38] ok, how do I install one then [23:38] SonicChao: i guess we will know when we read the release notes ;) [23:38] kbrooks: it's not over his head - its over your head, thats why you don't know [23:38] !info glibc [23:38] Package glibc does not exist in gutsy [23:38] SonicChao, i guess the reasonable answer is, there is no LTS other than 6.06 out yet, so "there's no way you'd know". but i'm pretty confident they'll try hard to implement seamless LTS->LTS upgrading, as that's quite a vital feature [23:38] Benalex: applications with a x in front of them are usually gui applications running in x-windows.. [23:38] kbrooks: don't put people down when you actually don't understand [23:38] jftsang: no, but you can use a graphical version of ubuntu as a server [23:38] jftsang: sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop gnome-extras [23:38] loke_: ok [23:38] jftsang: However, kde and others are available. [23:38] LjL, okay. It would be a pain to skip from one update to another. xD [23:38] jftsang: It epends on what you want. [23:39] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzeSey6I28U [23:39] ikonia, i did not put him down. i said yes he can, but i was referring to the glibc upgrade questions that lurk over his head [23:39] * jftsang likes GNOME more than KDE [23:39] kk: this is a support forum [23:39] Glibc? [23:39] What? [23:39] i need ur vote www.publicpet.gr/ejavaqel/vote , from Greece!:d [23:39] yes [23:39] kbrooks: no - you said you can't without a re-install, you didn't know about the glibc potential issues until I mentioned it, so don't say things you don't understand or know nothing about and don't say things are over peoples head [23:39] !glibc [23:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about glibc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:39] kk: then why are you posting youtube links? [23:40] ikonia, sorry [23:40] erUSUL: How can I configure the bitrate, output format, folder ouput. Sorry I am a nub ;) [23:40] kbrooks: if you don't know something, don't talk with authority [23:40] Everyone's arguing :| [23:40] But what is glibc? DD: [23:40] SonicChao: its the core system libary of ubuntu [23:40] SonicChao, the GNU implementation of the standard C library [23:40] kbrooks: YEs, you did say ... Jack_Sparrow, you can't, not without a reinstall [23:40] SonicChao: or linux in general I should say [23:40] Java, how do i manually install it ? [23:41] loke_ : Couldn't find package [23:41] hiogh [23:41] heh [23:41] it is impotant that u watch it! [23:41] Jack_Sparrow: its standard issue kbrooks stuff, talk nonsense [23:41] kk: its not important and it's nothing to do with ubuntu [23:41] how can i add a second gateway? [23:41] Jack_Sparrow, i know, i misunderstood what ikonia was saying, now its clear, please drop it [23:41] np [23:41] kbrooks: you didn't understnad, you didn't know, as normal and just made up a response [23:41] is there a bash command to return all my hardware information on this machine? ram, processor, etc.,? [23:41] there is no gui to add a second gateway, i am multihomed [23:41] ikonia, ok i admit it [23:41] How do i manually install java? [23:41] jftsang: Sorry, apprently it's now: sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment [23:41] Jack_Sparrow: lshw [23:41] Jack_Sparrow: sorry [23:42] Jangari: lshw [23:42] kbrooks, It's ok c: I'm not mad at you [23:42] ta [23:42] BB88: on the Configure tab ?? [23:42] You just confused me for a minute is all [23:42] ikonia, kbrooks, Jack_Sparrow: please take it to -offtopic or somewhere now [23:42] LjL: its done [23:42] just fed up with [23:42] loke_ ok [23:42] i am cowfused [23:42] Ganjistus, about? [23:43] does anyone know of a UI builder like 'Interface Builder' or 'Gorm', but embedded in an IDE? [23:43] !dotedit [23:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about dotedit - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:43] BB88: i know it is not the more intuitive piece of software but you wanted something more configurable than sound juicer... [23:43] lockd: try Lazarus, a Pascal IDE similar to Delphi [23:43] loke_: still no D: [23:43] * jftsang goes tobed [23:43] etfb: Pascal only? [23:43] Hey guys, do any of you know a lot about VirtualBox? [23:43] lockd: Yep, but with object oriented extensions [23:43] anyone work with DotEdit, a graph and node editing app? I click on it in the menu but it never opens... I checked with ps -aux to see if it was running and it's not, I reinstalled the program to no avail... any ideas? [23:44] Kobaka: I know a little? [23:44] kobaka: what do you need to know? [23:44] etfb: Never used it, C-ish is best [23:44] lockd: Delphi is my preferred language (out of about 30 that I know) for dev work on Windoze [23:44] !info lazarus [23:44] lazarus: Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool for Free Pascal. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.22-1 (gutsy), package size 35749 kB, installed size 151628 kB (Only available for i386 powerpc sparc amd64) [23:44] lockd: Lazarus is pretty similar, although flakey at times [23:44] etfb: (best because I've spent 12 weeks coding Java) [23:44] Firefox keeps freezing on Gutsy, every 10 minutes or so...? [23:44] Well i'm trying to install Windows 98 SE, but it wont read the CD. [23:44] So i was wondering if i'm missing something... [23:44] lockd: I've done no Java (it makes me itch) [23:44] Kobaka > ##windows [23:45] Tried removing and re-instra [23:45] lockd: try Mono if you don't mind C# [23:45] have anyone managed to install shockwave direcotr in to firefox or opera? [23:45] Tried removing and re-installing FF but it still freezes all the time, after short usage. [23:45] etfb: java gets annoying with OOP [23:45] Gatestone: Possible flash plugin issue? [23:45] Kobaka: I've never tried installing windows into Virtualbox only other linuxes. is it a legit copy of windows? and did you set up the virtual machine properly? [23:46] Id the flash a FF E [23:46] PasteL, whats shockwave director [23:46] lockd: it's horribly verbose. C# isn't much better (although slightly); Delphi (and Lazarus) are a vast improvement [23:46] loke_: doubtful as the flash plugin package won't currently install [23:46] etfb: I end up throwing that part away, by sharing everything [23:46] Id the flash a FF E [23:46] BB88 k3b has plenty of configurable cd ripping stuff [23:46] is not flash plugin, "Shockwave Director" for open this page.. http://www.isketch.net/isketch.shtml [23:46] That in the depo? [23:46] how do i set my scroll wheel button to toggle between scroll mode and regular, like in Windows? [23:46] yes [23:46] i used it about a dozen times [23:46] lockd: also might be worth looking at BoaConstructor, a pig-ugly but full-featured IDE for Python [23:46] loke_, I have no FF Flash Add-on in Tools/Add-ons [23:47] PasteL, ahh ok ill look into it [23:47] (Python's a vast improvement again over its competition) [23:47] Gatestone: Type about:plugins in the address bar [23:47] erUSUL: I keep getting an error "Invalid encoder executable". I do not know the location of lame encoder, do I need to download and move it somewhere, or is it already located somehwere? :D [23:47] how can I search for a file in terminal? [23:47] Benalex: locate file [23:47] how do i set my scroll wheel button to toggle between scroll mode and regular, like in Windows? [23:47] Benalex: find [23:47] Benalex: locate [23:48] harkone: yeah, it's legit. And i believe i did, but i'll go through it again. [23:48] Benalex: general form is "sudo find / -name froggy*" to find all files starting with "froggy" [23:49] Benalex: sudo saves you seeing error messages about inaccessible directories [23:49] Kobaka: I guess make sure you have the boot volume for your virtual machine set to read your real CD/DVD drive. [23:49] thank you all [23:49] Benalex: not familiar with locate; must look that up... [23:49] Kobaka: otherwise it'll try to boot from the virtual machine hard drive, which right now is empty [23:49] how do i set my scroll wheel button to toggle between scroll mode and regular, like in Windows? [23:49] !info locate [23:49] Package locate does not exist in gutsy [23:49] woops [23:50] etfb: man locate might get you the info you need [23:50] etfb: cached file syste find, effective for core file systems [23:50] anybody here able to help me figure out why my emerald compiz themes keep crashing? [23:50] loke_: I'm guessing it's part of bash? [23:50] harkonen: hmm, that might be it... thanks [23:50] etfb: *fro* will find any file that has fro in its name? [23:50] Jack_Sparrow: (I'm at work and using Windoze now, but it's on my to-do list for lunchtime... thanks!) [23:50] np.. and welcome to the channel [23:51] how do i set my scroll wheel button to toggle between scroll mode and regular, like in Windows? [23:51] Dç [23:51] Benalex: yes, but wrap it in quotes just to be on the safe side, ie sudo find / -iname "*fro*" [23:51] anyone? [23:51] etfb: doesn't find use regexps? [23:51] Hello everyone...Is there a simple way to create a FTP folder on the desktop? [23:52] etfb: Here's the man entry for locate in case you don't feel like waiting. http://pastebin.ca/815336 [23:52] Slart: I thought it uses globs (ie "*" in glob means ".*" in regexp) but it might be an option. man find is your friend [23:52] Shpoo1, ? [23:52] etfb: note: man locate brings up the manual for slocate. [23:52] Shpoo1: a "ftp folder"? what do you mean by that? [23:52] BB88: you have to install it use synaptic [23:52] How can I reload the SMP kernel? thanks. [23:52] what do you mean Shpoo1 ? [23:52] etfb: yes.. perhaps it does.. nevermind [23:52] BB88: or in command line 'sudo apt-get install lame' [23:52] lgc: reboot [23:52] neverblue: I want to create a folder that has an open connection to my FTP server...and I was told it can be done [23:53] so I figured this is the best place to ask, since google isn't helping too much lol [23:53] Shpoo1: create a follder in the ftp root [23:53] Shpoo1: ah.. you want to mount a remote ftp-dir in a folder on your desktop?.. that sounds neat [23:53] how do i set my mouse middle button (scroll wheel/button) to turn on a scroll lock type feature, like in Windows? [23:53] ikonia, I'm afraid it's not that simple. I cloned the package list of a single-processor machine in an SMP one, and I lost the SMP kernel. [23:53] anybody here know how to set up a wireless signal for other computers to connect to yours (my laptop has a wireless card) [23:53] erUSUL: Ok, again thank you. [23:53] Jack_Sparrow: thanks for the welcome. This looks addictive! I really should get back to work though... [23:53] hey guys [23:54] lgc: what do you mean "cloned the package list" [23:54] Shpoo1: Places>Connect to server [23:54] i have one question about disk partitioning [23:54] BB88: no problem [23:54] exactly....I'm a novice JS programmer, and it's annoying to constantly have to upload files [23:54] i need some one with ubuntus git experance to help me [23:54] ikonia, cloned the install. [23:54] I have a win 2000 already [23:54] lgc: do a "uname -a" on your machine tell me what you see [23:54] i have major questions [23:55] lgc: newer ubuntus doesn't have a separate smp kernel they have a generic one that is smp capable [23:55] ikonia, Linux sirius 2.6.22-14-386 #1 Sun Oct 14 22:36:54 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux. [23:55] CAN ANYONE HELP ME ? :) [23:55] !clone > ikonia [23:55] !ask | r4wMUnt34q [23:55] r4wMUnt34q: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [23:55] Shpoo1, you want a desktop icon to link to your FTP [23:55] how do i set my mouse middle button (scroll wheel/button) to turn on a scroll lock type feature, like in Windows? [23:55] lgc: what release is that, there shouldn't be a 2.6.22 kernel thats not smp [23:55] PasteL, i think the only way to get it to use wine with the windows version of firefox and install the showckwave player [23:55] lgc: so you have to use the -generic kernel not the i386 one. Install it from synaptic [23:55] is there such a thing as ftpmount?.. would be nice [23:56] ikonia, that's the point, exactly... [23:56] ok so I will write it all not in parts so you dont have to find information all over the chat [23:56] lgc: but 2.6.22 is gutsy, and there isn't a non-smp kernel availble in gutsy [23:56] hola [23:56] erUSUL, let me check that... [23:56] ikonia, so what do you think? [23:57] ikonia, the -i386 is not smp [23:57] alguien sabe como ver el admistrador de programas de ubuntu? [23:57] lgc: install the generic kernel the i386 is aviable for old machines but it is not the default one [23:57] !es | balphegor [23:57] balphegor: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [23:57] nickrud: yes, I appriciate that, but the default kernel is smp [23:57] erUSUL: crap that easy, thanks [23:57] thx luke_, I think it was the flash plugin, i just removed the link from /usr/lib/firefox/plugins [23:57] nickrud: so the smp kernel should be installed [23:57] gracias ubotu [23:57] neverblue: actually, it created one :-) [23:57] 'it' I see [23:57] ikonia, and I stand corrected, aptitude search doesn't show the i386 in gutsy [23:58] * loke_ will return shortly [23:58] soldats: sux, thanks guy [23:58] neverblue: haha sorry, erUSUL's suggestion created a link on the desktop [23:58] nickrud: just done a search the gutsy repo's and there is no i386 kernel in the repo [23:58] Shpoo1: you just used the "connect" menu thing? [23:58] Shpoo1, the only problem with that folder is only gnome vfs aware apps will see it; for example, emacs won't [23:59] ikonia, see above :) [23:59] :) [23:59] Slart: yes [23:59] hi guys, i've just installed ubuntu on my 2nd HD, with xp on the 1st. However i dont get the "dual boot" option on startup, can anyone point me in the direction of an answer? [23:59] Shpoo1: no problem ;) [23:59] Shpoo1: sweet.. got to remember that [23:59] nickrud: so if emacs won't, then bluefish won't either then, huh? [23:59] nickrud: which comment, sorry I may have missed your post [23:59] Shpoo1, bluefish does, iirc [23:59] nickrud: perfect :-) [23:59] ikonia, the one where I mentioned that aptitude search didn't find it :)
