[00:28] alexbOrsova: what hardware are you running on [00:29] Ttech2: pardon ? [00:29] how can i emulate low endianess to install OSX? [00:29] bim: tried apt-get remove and then install? [00:29] I have Vista on this laptop as well and it works perfectly [00:29] piratehead last night they were saying that something was wrong with my stmb i think it was i cant remember tho [00:29] alexbOrsova: your not using vista [00:29] Phusion: of what package? [00:29] ikonia: hp laptop (tablet pc) [00:29] ikonia, you asked for what I did, I told you, and thats where we are now. [00:29] ikonia sorry for buggig you but how do i delete them? [00:29] 4 letters ending in a b is all i remember [00:29] whatever the bluetooth package is [00:29] nickrud, I run the command is delayed but rather "Configurando makedev ..." It is normal? [00:29] cant be too hard to find out [00:29] ikonia: I know, this is Ubuntu 7.10 [00:29] Ttech2: I didn't see what you said before, as I'm in the middle of other things at the moment [00:29] arrrgh you bastard you stole Zelda [00:29] imbecile: delete them from the dir [00:29] seems kind of extreme. The applet will come up if I run it by hand, it just doesn't appear on its own. And it doesn't work very well, either. [00:29] rdavila, not sure what you meant to say there [00:30] ikonia, no problem, let me know when you can talke a look. I'd love to get this to work .:) [00:30] bim: you can create a shortcut [00:30] Phusion: you've been requested to keep on topic 3 times, now you using offensive lanauge, please stop [00:30] :/ [00:30] How can I find the amount of used space on a partition? Or the size of a directory? [00:30] From command line. [00:30] huh? I asked a question, he answered me? [00:30] Stormx2: df or du [00:30] so I can't be helpful and disruptive at the same time? con-sarnit [00:30] Stormx2, df -h for partition space , du for dir size [00:30] nickrud, the prompt is stop in: "Configurando makedev (2.3.1-83ubuntu3) ..." [00:30] du also has a -h option [00:30] i think [00:30] ikonia how do i delete them? [00:31] imbecile: delete them from the font dir the same way you dragged them in, delete them [00:31] DVB skystar1? [00:31] Stormx2: also you can go to System -> Administration -> System Monitor for a graphical layout of your disk usage [00:31] rdavila, it freezes there? Wait a bit, that one can take a while [00:31] skystar dvb? [00:31] nickrud, ok thanks [00:31] ikonia i cant boot up correctly. x keeps restarting [00:31] anyone use xdcc to receive files from chat ? [00:31] rdavila, a minute or two, no more I think [00:31] Phusion, that is not correct [00:31] imbecile: boot into safe mode and remove them using the "rm" command [00:31] oh, really. [00:32] ikonia: so do you have any idea what I can do to solve this? [00:32] alexbOrsova: I'm just looking into your hardware [00:32] alexbOrsova: seeing if there is anything obvious [00:32] no offence, but anyone out there know what is supposed to be responsible for launching the bluetooth applet? Is it just a panel item, or is something supposed to launch it based on existence of hw? [00:32] alexbOrsova: you can try disabling power managment in the bios ? [00:32] PriceChild: so, the graphical display of my partitions I'm looking at isnt there? [00:32] did u have real basic website? [00:32] ikonikonia "rm all"? I have no idea how to do this [00:32] alsadk10: pardon ? [00:32] imbecile: cd /usr/X11/fonts/misc [00:33] imbecile: rm "filename you want to remove" [00:33] ikonia: I'm trying that right now [00:33] real basic for programming [00:33] ikonia, this is iceman..everything seems to be working but i havent restarted yet. i need to know however how do you iniate the copy command [00:33] alsadk10: in what language [00:33] imbecile, werry [00:33] i have an icon for it in computer but then i click it and it says error details are mount:/dev/sdb1:cant read superblock [00:33] lovedeatm: cp [00:33] in terminal, ikonia [00:33] basic [00:33] thanks [00:33] no problem [00:33] i run it on a penryn 4ghz fsb1600 [00:34] ikonia there are 20,000 new fonts. i think i need to do some sort of "bulk" removal [00:34] anyone know if there is a variable for a solid separator line in conky? Using dashes is ugly. [00:34] imbecile: you can do "*" but I sugget you don't as you do want some fonts in there [00:34] ikonia: I can't turn it off, I have to pick between Performance or Battery Life [00:34] What to do when blacklisting a module doesn't prevent it from loading on bootup? [00:34] imbecile: just cut it do with say a* and d* and f* etc etc [00:34] alexbOrsova: in the bios ? [00:34] * Phusion thanks Jah for wildcards [00:34] NoiseBOX: Rename the module files? [00:34] can someone give me a hand with a wireless problem please? [00:34] rm -rf / ? [00:34] ikonia: Yes [00:34] i need to smell my DVB Card [00:34] alexbOrsova: thats a pain [00:35] madhatte1: whats the dilly [00:35] alexbOrsova: when you see that message does the boot hang ? [00:35] whats a "demuxer" [00:35] PirateHead: That is a very hackish way to solve the problem, that's wht i've done. but i would rather track down the source of the discrepency and if neccesary submit a bug report [00:35] the opposite of a remuxer [00:35] NoiseBOX: Very noble of you. Good luck. [00:35] Ttech2: as I understand it it is a decoder [00:35] ikonia: What do you mean? The screen goes black when the loading progressbar reaches about 100% and it stays that way [00:35] how to i put a font into '~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts ? [00:35] how can i disable this password crap anytime i do a system change`? [00:35] PriceChild: thank you [00:35] Phusion: i tried the live disk on this laptop and wireless worked fine. I installed and then wireless is no where to be seen. [00:36] alexbOrsova: so it hangs, ok [00:36] Ganjistus23, do you understand why it asks for the password? [00:36] hi compiz +blender problem: 'blender -w' launch the full-screen mode on gutsy, any idea ? [00:36] hi, anyone know how I can find out what ships with the netinstall ubuntu server edition. And do you have the same package options as the desktop version (as in python2.5.1 etc) [00:36] raph: Try it? [00:36] ikonia: if I pick the recovery mode from grub, I get a cli and then type "gdm" or "startx" both of which work [00:36] i understand, you have to do that with root rights [00:36] ikonia, im going to pm you that ok [00:36] PirateHead: ? [00:36] lovedeatm: why ? [00:36] ikonia: however, the default option always results in a black screen [00:36] alexbOrsova: give me a moment [00:37] does anyone know how to find the '~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts to put a font into? [00:37] raph: Are you asking whether "blender -w" will start in full screen mode? [00:37] i start gnome now as root [00:37] Ganjistus23, one of the reasons linux is pretty much virus free is enforcing passwords, please help us keep it safe :) [00:37] who cares [00:37] its a desktop not a server [00:37] alexbOrsova: you can try adding the noapci option to the kernel boot line to see if it is apci with the power managment, but that is a random guess based on some bug reports [00:37] aww c'mon what I MEANT to say [00:37] was mux = multiplexing [00:37] PirateHead: no my pb is that "blender -w" launch the fullscreen mode !! [00:37] who cares about that [00:37] anyone know how to tell how much memory their video card is using? [00:38] Raph: have you read the manpage? [00:38] nobody is going to write a linux virus [00:38] anyone know the apr command I would issues if I switched ips on servers? [00:38] ATI Catalyst Control Center says 128mb when it should be using 256mb [00:38] can cron run elf-executables? or does cron only run scripts? ie. Should I wrap my executables in scripts before I cron them? [00:38] Ganjistus23, the techniques are covered in man sudoers , if you google for sudo NOPASSWD you'll find some howtos [00:38] thats pointless... there are enough targets [00:38] manicnerd is it integrated? [00:38] ok thanks [00:38] how do i find the ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts folder to put a font into? [00:38] Phusion: yes...it's the x1150 card (dell vostro 1000) [00:39] nickrud: the prompt is still freezed :s [00:39] Phusion: i'm using the new drivers [00:39] manicnerd: you can specify mem usage in the BIOS [00:39] right, right [00:39] PirateHead: -w must launch the -w..indow mode ! [00:39] Phusion: thanks...i'll give that a shot [00:39] yeah, check video option in BIOS [00:39] Raph: is that what the man page says? [00:39] anyone know the arp command I would issues if I switched ips on servers? [00:39] Aaron go to your home folder and press ctrl+h [00:39] mikefoo: you want to flush arp cache ? [00:39] ikonia: it still results in a black screen [00:39] ikonia: yeah [00:40] rdavila, ok, try this: dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/makedev <-- press the tab key [00:40] ikonia: if you're wondering, I have an nvidia GeForce Go 6150 gfx card [00:40] * Phusion shudders [00:40] ikonia i just called my friend who is linux guru and he had a great idea. change permissions of system fonts the rm the rest.. thanks alot for your help. thought you might like what he came up with [00:40] PirateHead: stupid bot ! [00:40] mikefoo: you've cauht me off guard [00:40] what you mean? [00:40] Why would wireless work on the live cd but then stop working after install? [00:40] imbecile: that is pretty sweet [00:40] imbecile: thats an excellent suggestion [00:40] mikefoo: I can't remember [00:41] saved me hours [00:41] yayy [00:41] madhatte1: livecd may of been configured for wifi,you need to do some config yourself I bet [00:41] mikefoo: I have mental block [00:41] i want to instal ubuntu 7.10 from live cd on compac armada 110 (laptop) with 246mb ram i let 1G swap i that enough to fastest instal? [00:41] thanks Phusion,ikonia [00:41] you're welcome [00:41] ohhh [00:41] Phusion: How do you do that in ubuntu? [00:41] use kubuntu instead of alsadk10 [00:41] madhatte1: well, I've had poor experience w/ wifi, but from command line you can try sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant wifi-radar [00:42] are there somebody other than this bot to help me about gutsy+compiz+blender ? [00:42] madhatte1: then use wifiradar to find your network, put in pass and get in [00:42] what now magnetron? [00:42] but it's rarely that easy [00:42] in fact [00:42] y? [00:42] fnord! [00:42] ahhh i found it ty [00:42] I'd really like to know why despite putting in my network key to the wifi startup script, will it still not work [00:42] I've searched google and the ubuntu forums to no end [00:42] to all military inventors! its time to give us the tachyonator [00:42] Raph, I'd ask either in #compiz-fusion and/or #blender [00:43] compiz is great, I rotate my desktop all day at work [00:43] yeah, i rotate my wife any night at sleep [00:43] alright, looks like we squashed some bugs [00:43] compiz is fun [00:43] nick: thanx this is that i do ...

[00:44] * Wing patiently waits for Windows admins to stop retrying/rebooting/reinstalling the Linux server. [00:44] 246mb is small alsadk10 [00:44] ikonia: the noacpi option doesn't work, I still get a blank screen [00:44] lol Wing [00:44] alexbOrsova: I'm just having a read, it's a big topic and I don't have the full info on it [00:44] is it enough for instal? [00:45] even slower instal? [00:45] ikonia: ok, i'll wait [00:45] is it enough for instal? [00:45] is it enough for instal? [00:45] alsadk10 install it you see [00:45] nickrud, the prompt still are in "Configurando makedev...." [00:45] alsadk10, it's really too much swap, you really shouldn't have more than 2x ram [00:45] and do not make my bunghole angry [00:45] that wasn't very nice. [00:45] hiyas - a quickie - what's the root password? [00:45] I've helped like 30 people and I go offtopic and it's bansville? yeash. [00:45] Iron_Chef: its the pass you put in at install [00:45] rdavila, a sec [00:45] to make it easy, you use sudo [00:46] Phusion, on the live cd [00:46] Phusion: i have ubuntu working on another machine and it just automatically detects wifi with the network manager. But nm doesn't even seem to know I have a wireless card. Is that to do with drivers or something? [00:46] nickrud, thanks! [00:46] you have to catch panchovilla [00:46] rdavila, this was a feisty to gutsy upgrade? [00:46] Iron_Chef: probably no pass [00:46] i try without swap & its was relay fast [00:46] ?

[01:01] i have a computer thats messed up ad i want to take it out in style [01:02] why can't i do any operation at gparted?

[01:02] its all jumbled to me lol [01:02] chester_martins: umount.... the drive [01:02] Aaron: if youuse firefox your using gekko [01:02] download wine_gecko.cab to the "/tmp" directory and point Wine to it (save this as-is to the "/tmp/file.reg" then import with command 'regedit /tmp/file.reg': is what it says to do and im lost ^.^ [01:02] ikonia: ok [01:02] instaled program [01:02] umount my primary disc? [01:02] so... is there a way to reduce the number of getty's? I only want three, so getting rid of 4,5,6 is the goal. [01:02] chester_martins: If you're trying to perform an operation on, say, your root drive or any other drives, you need the live CD [01:02] when i command 'mount', it show up only my HDD partitions...not the cam [01:03] Slart: when i command 'mount', it show up only my HDD partitions...not the cam [01:03] chester_martins: Are you trying to unmount the same disk you are running from? [01:03] the disk where i need to make changes is my running disk [01:03] does anyone know what that means? [01:03] i need really live cd? [01:03] chester_martins: Then use the livecd like I suggested [01:03] edit: any other mounted drives [01:03] chester_martins: Yes, you do [01:03] ok [01:03] thank u [01:04] np [01:04] chester_martins: It isnt a huge dl it is 50 - 75 meg [01:04] noone knows how to do that? [01:04] RoDoX: ok.. mount by itself doesn't mount things for you.. afaik.. do you know what device the camera is detected as ? /dev/sda or /dev/hda something? [01:04] chester_martins: and it is the safest way to deal with partitions [01:04] is there a terminal channel? [01:04] is this the chanel for ubuntu server questions? [01:04] NeT_DeMoN: for your kind of questions.. no.. I don't think so =) [01:05] ok [01:05] :) [01:05] so... is there a way to reduce the number of getty's?

[01:06] NeT_DeMoN: learn [01:06] RoDoX: ok.. then try writing this in a terminal "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1" [01:06] alifaan: google for squid, there are plenty of guides, it's quite long winded to talk you through it step by step [01:06] redlance consider mobomanual [01:06] NeT_DeMoN: That is NOT the purpose of this channel please see topic [01:06] ok [01:06] lucian: I think the tty's are started in the files /etc/event.d/tty{1,2,3,4,5,6} I would just edit 456 to stop on all runlevels and you should be good [01:06] hmm [01:07] software raid is faster, remember it [01:07] kelsin, thnx i'll try that [01:07] Hello, I am new to ubuntu and was wondering if anyone with knowledge of the OS could help me? [01:07] !ask | technolust [01:07] technolust: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [01:07] does #terminal exist?

[01:07] NeT_DeMoN: last warning [01:07] NeT_DeMoN: I don't know if you noticed all those ban's flashing by.. your nick and ip-nbr will probably be there if you don't drop it [01:07] Ganjistus23: Software raid was cool when drives were 33.. 66 but isnt so much of a big deal and the downside..recovery.. is much harder [01:07] noone is in #wine so does anyone here know how to do this? download wine_gecko.cab to the "/tmp" directory and point Wine to it (save this as-is to the "/tmp/file.reg" then import with command 'regedit /tmp/file.reg [01:08] Aaron: try #winehq [01:08] Aaron: #winehq :P but [01:08] tried that [01:08] Jack_Sparrow, 33 .. 66 => ? [01:08] i just want to know what all i can do with the terminal like with my computer, like in all the comands because i cant restart compiz and no one in the channel can help me [01:08] none talks [01:08] Aaron: you don't need to mess with Gecko, newer versions of Wine give you a dialog to auto-install Gecko [01:08] Aaron, then patience [01:08] NeT_DeMoN: nothing [01:08] kbrooks: early ide speeds [01:08] NeT_DeMoN: compiz --replace will restart compiz for you [01:08] when i right click and hit open with wine the program does nothing at all [01:08] Slart: the mount does not exist... [01:08] NeT_DeMoN: try asking a question. and not "what does the terminal DO?!" [01:09] ikonia, why do you say that when the reverse is true [01:09] i saw some comprensive test with R0 configurations or raid 01 configs [01:09] in terminal or where? [01:09] kbrooks: what ? [01:09] It's not a mobo raid controller, it's a PCI, and I already have the controller, so I want to use it, instead of software. [01:09] RoDoX: was that the exact error message? it didn't say "mount point didn't exist" ? [01:09] NeT_DeMoN, try googling for "linux command line introduction" [01:09] i'm making a Linux distro by LFS, anyone did it? [01:09] NeT_DeMoN: yes [01:09] NeT_DeMoN, lots of tutorials [01:09] slart: ok, thanks [01:09] Anyone know a good step-by-step for running Windows applications in Ubuntu or someone willing to help me?

[01:10] Aaron: and what vWine version are you using anyway? [01:10] technolust: unless you want to use virtualization (for example vmware) you need to use wine, and that all depends on the app. Goto the appdb at winehq.com to see how people get different progbrams to work [01:10] Aaron: *Wine [01:10] technolust: #winehq has good info on that [01:10] can anyone suggest a good webmail client? [01:10] RoDoX: ok.. the mount point is the folder/directory where the files of the drive/camera will appear.. we tried to use /media/sda1 and we were told it didn't exist.. so we create it.. "sudo mkdir /media/sda1".. then try that mount-command again [01:10] Steam [01:10] thundrbird [01:10] i have the newest version of Wine [01:10] DigitalNinja: squirrelmail, sqwebmail, [01:10] is wine stable?

Never heard of sqwebmail [01:11] like want it for halo and maybe WPE [01:11] i run wine with mirc and stuff [01:11] DigitalNinja: there are tons, hord etc etc [01:11] Slart: >trying.....

Squirrelmail doesn't look very nice. Horde is difficult to setup === Fort_Worth_Squat is now known as FW_Squatch [01:12] I got the DVD player to worwk, but now I only hear spanish from the dvds. :( [01:12] ikonia Where is the boot logs saved in? /var/log/messages and /var/log/boot, that's it?

[01:14] ikonia Where is the boot logs stored in? [01:14] NeT_DeMoN: disable compiz [01:14] ok [01:14] illeten: what part of the boot process [01:14] i was hoping not to, (lazy), heh [01:15] JimGrey: you can run nautilus as root.. "sudo nautilus".. but BE VERY CAREFUL...

[01:15] !gksudo | Slart JimGrey [01:15] Slart JimGrey: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [01:15] oh.. sorry.. [01:15] does anyone know of a wayto compile a program to windows while running ubuntu? [01:15] ikonia: the "killall nautilus && nautilus" command? [01:15] Slart: sudo nautilus is a BAD idea.. [01:15] of course.. gksudo nautilus.. bad bad slart [01:15] Jack_Sparrow: you actually don't have to umount a CD-ROM before reading to iso if I'm not mistaken [01:15] NeT_DeMoN: no [01:15] ikonia Like, if hdd was doing fsck during boot etc. [01:15] NeT_DeMoN: how is that anything to do with compiz? [01:15] ahh thx, Slart , and Jack_Sparrow .. [01:15] illeten: that won't get logged, thats pre-boot [01:16] thats what the dude in the compiz channel toild me [01:16] scguy318: That is how I had it in my notes. Doubt it could hurt. [01:16] Jack_Sparrow, CD-ROMs are read only. remember, CD-ROM stands for [01:16] JimGrey: you saw the stuff about sudo.. never use sudo for a gui app.. gksudo nautlius..

[01:17] ikonia System crashed .. so, I want to know what caused the crash, if boot logs would shed some lights .. [01:17] illeten: boot logs record a boot, not why the system crashed [01:17] i think i eat sauerbraten [01:17] illeten: if the system crashed post boot, the boot logs won't capture it [01:18] ikonia: i dont have an "advanced desktop effects" tab in my admin folder [01:18] illeten: your best bet is looking at the syslog and messages file [01:18] !ccsm | ikonia, NeT_DeMoN [01:18] ikonia, NeT_DeMoN: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'.

[01:21] technolust: did you run wow with the -opengl flag? [01:21] technolust: cross-over is a comercial product, get support from them [01:22] technolust: or set opengl in the config file? Otherwise try it with normal wine, and check the appdb [01:22] technolust: crossover is not geared towards games from what I understand anyhow [01:22] how do you set the config file to opengl? [01:22] technolust: wow works great in normal wine, don't need cedega or crossover [01:22] neumorin_: we all try to answer the questions here.. those we know the answer to anyway.. [01:22] technolust: get support from cross-over, it is a comercial product [01:22] technolust: go find out on the blizzard help pages, I don't know off hand [01:22] awesome [01:22] Strange.

This is due to adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads.". [01:23] wy in the power management properties (System -> Prefs -> Power) you can set what the screen should be set to when you're on battery [01:23] neumorin_: see topic on flash [01:23] and it wont let be update my java plugin [01:23] wy: plug it back in and it should light up [01:23] !flashissues | neumorin_ [01:23] neumorin_: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads.

I was wondering if the spreadsheet alternatives like Gnumeric or KSpread were ready to be used as general alternatives to OO Calc [01:26] VSpike: try them out, Gnumeric serves all my SS needs that sls mode in emacs doesn't handle [01:26] VSpike: It costs nothing to try them and see if they suit your needs [01:28] kelsin: But it should get back to some reasonable brightness when I have activities [01:28] anybody here use moblock-nfq? === netdemon is now known as NeT_DeMoN [01:28] wy: no, thats not how it works [01:28] wy: your running on battery, so power useage is reduced by dimming the monitor [01:28] Jack_Sparrow, I'm also wondering if OO is known for being slow and buggy and prone to freezing or doing wierd things, or it's just my setup, or perhaps my not knowing how to use it right [01:28] wy: you can set it in that properties to dim permanently when on battery, past that I don't know anything [01:28] what all can i do with the bluetooth stuff? [01:28] like can i use my bluetooth as headphones for my computer? [01:28] NeT_DeMoN: what do you want to do, connect a phone for example [01:28] NeT_DeMoN: yes, you can use headphnes [01:28] VSpike: Slow is relative to your hardware and your needs.. Works fine for most people. [01:28] ikonia: how do i set it up? === littlebear is now known as littlebear72 [01:29] kelsin: I guess I got it. Because the dim is set to 70% by default. When I increase the brightness to full brightness, the power manager is checking for battery status periodically, and set it back to 70% when it finds the system is on battery power. [01:29] Hey, i been trying to get a lexmark x1130 to work on gutsy with no hope of it working soon [01:29] Jack_Sparrow, on a dual core x2 4000 or something like that, with 2G of RAM, was finding it taking 5 seconds to do a page up/down, and could see the toolbars redrawing themselves over the course of a few seconds with every operation [01:29] Jack_Sparrow, I've closed and re-opened it and it seemed to improve, but now it's hung while trying to insert a conditional sum [01:29] jedmiller: lexmark has a bad track record when it comes to linux drivers... but you might get lucky [01:29] Jack_Sparrow, it also crashed the first time I tried to put a formula in [01:29] kelsin: I thought that screen dim was because of my inactivity, but it's not so. [01:30] VSpike: What drivers are you using for your video card etc... and again, this is bordering on discussion [01:30] how do i make my bluetooth headset headphones for my computer? [01:30] yaaa [01:30] Jack_Sparrow, nvidia [01:30] VSpike: If it crashed with your first formula then you did not get it installed correctly..

[01:40] LjL, Not as free or nice as Ubuntu but its costs $0 so its "free" [01:40] ricanelite: don't download. just install msttcorefonts [01:40] wy: Sometimes alot sometimes almost never. :( [01:40] jedmiller: here's the list http://openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi [01:40] Ttech2: but people shouldn't forget that there exist freer alternatives such as virtualbox or qemu. [01:40] free is free they jsut want to knwo who is useing thier software how many pepole are actually useing the free version [01:41] littlebear72, correct [01:41] and where's the source code?

It displays some black bars on the lower right corner of the screen [01:41] how am i free to redistribute it? [01:41] No! [01:41] * littlebear72 is running it as a hotmail client so i dont have to muck around with hotmail in ubu [01:41] spagbol: I don't think so... not sure though [01:41] But you can use it, it requries a key [01:41] No LSB modules are available isss ? === kitofhawaii_ is now known as kitofhawaii [01:41] spagbol on the same partition no but same harddrive yes [01:41] spagbol: there's something ubuntu you can run on windows.. might just be an installer though [01:41] postg: a normal warning that can be safely ignored, as i said [01:41] i lknow that [01:42] I got a question, I have 2 users on my system, but the userlist box is blank when I login. How do Ifix this? [01:42] what is the default font in microsoft [01:42] quick question: does logging out restart x? [01:42] ***** ubuntu [01:42] gavintlgold, Yea I think [01:42] can i get the yahoo games and stuff on pidgon? [01:42] ricanelite: depends what version of windows (and what version the application you're using was made for, too). ask in ##windows [01:42] k thx :) [01:42] NeT_DeMoN, No, but Pidgin is faster becasuse of that [01:42] The_Doctor2: change the login theme thingy.. there are themes that have buttons for each user.. kind of like vista [01:42] does anyone else know of a way [01:42] ok [01:42] without virtualisation [01:42] i got it [01:43] How can I get my SCIM/Anthy showing on my Gnome panel??????..

[01:44] postg: why do you want to have LSB modules available? [01:44] LSB? [01:44] The Linux Standard Base [01:44] Isn't that like oh, never mind [01:44] The_Doctor2: oh.. then I have no idea.. what theme was it? [01:44] :P I was thinking of ham [01:44] hello all i need advice on ubuntu and samba im trying to share files over my network and i cant log in from other computers i have not set a username or password but its askign for one [01:44] All of them, the ubutnu one that has the mulit-list box (any) don't show the users anymore [01:44] postg: apt-cache search lsb, anyway [01:44] It just happened one day. :( [01:44] ok [01:44] does anyone know if xp and ubuntu 7.10 can be installed on same partition [01:44] nope spagbol [01:44] spagbol, No [01:44] why? [01:44] spagbol, Its not smart! [01:45] diferent file systems [01:45] spagbol, Multi-partitions [01:45] but i still want to do it [01:45] !wubi | spagbol [01:45] spagbol: wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html [01:45] ubuntu 7.10 supports ntfs though [01:45] Slart: are you there? [01:45] ok then do it at yoru own risk [01:45] spagbol, Its not safe and it will not work. Oh I forgot that though [01:45] spagbol: "why"? why would you expect it to be possible? i've rarely seen operating systems that can share a partition [01:45] hi i need some help with my graphics card drivers i was messing around and selected something wrong, now my resolution is quite messed up. I am on a Sony Vaio AR-130 G laptop with a Nvidia GeForce Go 7600 GT, can someone help me find the correct drivers for my machine? [01:45] spagbol, but not for filesystems to use as boot [01:45] RoDoX: yup.. did the pastebin thing work? [01:45] i have posted it on the link you sent me [01:45] Slart: yeah... [01:45] right, i probably sound like an idiot asking this but how do i open a file which ends in .run === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:45] well if you put ubuntu in a folder on the same partition there should be a problem sureley [01:45] RoDoX: do you have the url? [01:46] Slart, Jack_Sparrow, thx guys, all is well with the world... [01:46] jedmiller: ./.run of sh .run [01:46] i ran "sudo dpkg --configure -a" through my terminal, do i just continue with what the site says? [01:46] thanks [01:46] jedmiller: of = or [01:46] anyone on mine? [01:46] Slart: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48613/ [01:46] jedmiller: it's probably an executable file, and if i have to guess further, i'll say it's probably an installer. are you sure you actually *want* it to be run? remember that installing stuff not from the official repositories can cause immediate or less-immediate trouble. what is it? is it something not available from the repositories? [01:47] RoDoX: ok... you entered the wrong command.. try this one instead.. "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1" [01:47] help? [01:47] spagbol, and how would a normal bootloader know which OS to start? anyway, Linux requires its boot (root) partition to provide POSIX-style permissions. NTFS and FAT32, however, don't provide those, they provide Windows-style ones. conversely, Windows definitely won't be happy running from an ext3 partition, either [01:48] LjL: hopefully its a driver that will get my printer to work [01:48] RoDoX: or wait.. try looking in /media/hd it looks like it's mounted there [01:48] jedmiller: what printer? [01:48] how do i use selinux? i have downloaded it and i guess it is installed. i used the add remove app, so how do i use it ? selinux [01:48] If someone by any chance missed my 1000 previous messages.. here I go once again.. and after that I'll happily change back to windows OS and fuck off with IME! [01:48] How can I get my SCIM/Anthy showing on my Gnome panel??????.. Everything what is needed installed.. whats the problem???? doesnt show up??? anyone HELPPP? [01:48] linux__ whats selinux? [01:48] so basicall yoyu guys are saying no [01:48] se linux [01:48] LjL: lexmark x1130 [01:48] i am new to linux and want to try it but still run windows [01:48] linux__: don't use it. seriously. it's difficult enough to use it for people who wouldn't have to ask that question. [01:48] hi guys [01:48] security enhanced [01:48] !language | eke and do you really think we care if you use windows anyways [01:48] eke: if we knew we would have helped you.. threatening wont make it better [01:48] eke and do you really think we care if you use windows anyways: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [01:48] spagbol, then dual boot [01:48] !selinux > linux__ (linux__, see the private message from Ubotu) [01:49] question about ubuntu server [01:49] !sellinux [01:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about sellinux - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:49] !selinux [01:49] but im happy with my xp installation and dont want to modify my partion [01:49] SELinux is available on Ubuntu, but not officially supported. Ubuntu uses another security framework by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [01:49] oh [01:49] partition even [01:49] spagbol: then buy another drive [01:49] how can i get the movies to play here? http://www.redcurtainmovies.com/ i have installed libxine1-ffmpeg and totem-xine [01:50] got a laptop at the mo [01:50] otherwise i would [01:50] ubotu: i have a question about ubuntu server [01:50] slart: i did the command you gave me but it says flashplayer wasnt installed, is there a terminal command i can do for it or doi have to download it from a site? [01:50] spagbol: then put up with the fact that it can't be done, and use the Ubuntu installer to shrink the Windows partition and create another for Ubuntu. [01:50] !where to put my printer [01:50] spagbol could try wabi [01:50] !dualboot > spagbol (spagbol, see the private message from Ubotu) [01:50] hey, i'm having difficulty hibernating a fujitsu lifebook p7230 under 7.10 [01:50] the hibernate option is in the power menu [01:51] NeT_DeMoN: flash is broken at the moment.. see the topic [01:51] Slart: Theres nothing on /media/hd [01:51] umm, anyone knows..., where could I find people who have knowledge about ubuntu??? [01:51] RoDoX: and on /media/hd2? [01:51] but activating it just reduces my screen to a blinking cursor, and i can't restore the session [01:51] NeT_DeMoN, There is an alternate since the Flash Plugin is borken [01:51] eke: I would say here or the ubuntu forums [01:51] the_doctor2: is there a terminal command for me to get it? [01:51] well ive just looked at wubi can anyone tell me how well this works [01:52] !wubi [01:52] wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html [01:52] and is performance as good [01:52] how can i get the movies to play here? http://www.redcurtainmovies.com/ i have installed libxine1-ffmpeg and totem-xine [01:52] NeT_DeMoN, No need if you use filrefox? [01:52] sorry to bother anyone with my problem i am a noob and just need some assistance is there anyone willing to help me with my previous inquiry [01:52] Slart: I ment, who could help me? [01:52] *firefox [01:52] eke the forums [01:52] ttech2: for some reason my firefox wont download anything, it will try but then stop [01:52] evanotten: what was it? [01:53] i need some help with my graphics card drivers i was messing around and selected something wrong, now my resolution is quite messed up. I am on a Sony Vaio AR-130 G laptop with a Nvidia GeForce Go 7600 GT, can someone help me find the correct drivers for my machine? [01:53] eke: try the forums.. I don't know of any other place for ubuntu help.. sorry [01:53] Slart: neither on /media/hd1 nor on /media/hd2 [01:53] evanotten: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [01:53] Ttech2: havent found any help from there.. [01:53] eke: :/ [01:53] ok i will try that [01:53] RoDoX: because that's where your camera is mounted according to your output [01:53] NeT_DeMoN, its called Gnash SWF PLayer [01:53] jedmiller: from a quick googling, i'm afraid there really is no ubuntu package for the relevant driver (that's the "lm1100" driver, isn't it?). you can run the file with "chmod +x filename" and then "./filename" [01:53] how can i get the movies to play here? http://www.redcurtainmovies.com/ i have installed libxine1-ffmpeg and totem-xine [01:54] !repeat | linux_user400354 [01:54] linux_user400354: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

I simply give up.. thanks anyway =) [01:54] yeah, so i'm having the following problem using hibernate on a fujitsu lifebook p7230 under 7.10. the power menu contains a hibernate button; however, clicking it just kills my session to a blinking, unresponsive cursor, and i have to powercycle and reboot. any ideas what's going wrong there? [01:54] LjL: i worked out how to run the file but it didnt work, i have a feeling this printer is gonna drive me to the loony bin lol [01:54] whats up with the bots [01:54] RoDoX: when you typed "mount" you get a list of mounted filessystems.. there is a line with "/dev/sda1 /media/hd..." [01:54] Slart: do you not know how to get video playing in the web browser with linux [01:55] hello folks, can someone point me to a guide that will help configuring nis to ldap migration with kerberos as the backend for one-time login. would apprecaiate some help [01:55] I am having an error message with TILP and it is as follows: Msg: Unable to open/find a USB device.
Cause: Check that your cable is connected or not stalled. Check you rlibusb and usbfs, too.
System: Inappropriate ioctl for device (errno = 25) . What could be causeing the problem??? [01:55] linux_user400354: if I did I would have told you... sorry [01:55] spagbol: I haven't tried wubi. I just dual booted, but its something I would look at when trying to convince friends to try ubuntu on their windows boxes. [01:55] how can i get the movies to play here? http://www.redcurtainmovies.com/ i have installed libxine1-ffmpeg and totem-xine [01:55] Has anyone tried using a Hauppage MediaMVP with an Ubuntu server? [01:56] wel oucld i put the installtion inside a folder on the root of c: [01:56] in ubuntu for eg [01:56] Ttech2: can you give me a link for Gnash SWF PLayer? [01:56] okay, different fun question: if i open an shh session to a remote host running 7.10 server, is there any way for me to initiate a remote x-session? [01:56] went to install flash- apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree, it installs fine but no flash? [01:56] jedmiller: or you could drive the printer to the bin, since lexmarks are horribly expensive when you consider the cartridge costs =) if the driver is complaining that it doesn't have "root", though, then you need to run it with "sudo bash filename" [01:57] hi... [01:57] NeT_DeMoN, it was in the add plugin menu for ff [01:57] afaik wubi acts just like an installed program and everything is contained in a single file. I read that somewhere. [01:57] I need some help for my firefox... [01:57] Slart: what about line 26? [01:57] i'm having a gcc issue: checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [01:57] can someone help me with banshee and last.fm? [01:57] will wubi ruin windows [01:57] I just reinstalled my gutsy...n now flash isn't working... I installed the nonfree pack already... what should I do next...? === archangel_ is now known as Wowerz [01:57] Ttech2: ok, sorry [01:57] Slart: it says it couldnt find sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [01:57] TehUni : i ran that line you gave me in terminal and its done, now when i go to screen and graphics preference i have a list that i can install should i use legacy drivers or something else to be able to restore my resolution back to something normal [01:58] RoDoX: no, on line 21 in your pastebin [01:58] wacd-andy: read the topic and flash package is broken [01:58] it will create a dual boot so it will modify your boot, but thats all as far as I know. [01:58] !flashissue | wacd-andy [01:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about flashissue - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:58] LjL: i wont sleep until i got this printer working lol, im gonna email lexmark and see what they say, probably some automated reply but its worth a try [01:58] you can go to the adobe flashplayer website and download the tarball and install it that way [01:58] how can i get the movies to play here? http://www.redcurtainmovies.com/ i have installed libxine1-ffmpeg and totem-xine [01:58] linux_user400354, install mozilla-mplayer, remove totem-mozilla , add w32codecs from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#head-381bea41610683e5e26322fd7028e7aef85e3105-2 [01:58] how can i remotely log in to another system [running 7.10 server] on which i've enabled remote logins? [01:58] is this the official site for wubi and is there a non beta available http://wubi-installer.org/ [01:59] Slart: so whats this 'sda1' its referring? [01:59] RoDoX: that error message is just because you didn't write /dev/sda1.. if you want to mount a drive that is already in the fstab file you'd write "mount /dev/sda1" or "mount /media/sda1".. not just "mount sda1" [01:59] error: checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables | how can i fix this ? [01:59] Wowerz, install build-essential [01:59] Wowerz: build-essential fixes that [01:59] thx [01:59] Ttech2: in the add/remove apps program? [01:59] RoDoX: sda1 is a name for a device /dev/sda1 means the first sata controller (sd = sata, a = first one, 1 = first partition on that drive), and the first partition on that drive [01:59] spagbol: I haven't read everything you've said in this channel, but assuming u just want to try out ubuntu without damaging your Windows install, you could install virtualbox and run ubuntu virtually. I won't alter your windows install at all then. [02:00] Slart: is it possible that the filesystem manager interprets sda1 as the cam...? === amidaniel|away is now known as amidaniel [02:00] !Gnash SWF PLayer [02:00] but that wont give me a very goodd fell for how it performs or runs [02:00] RoDoX: the other way around.. it sees your camera as /dev/sda1 [02:00] !gnash [02:00] An open source flash replacement.

[02:01] it'll be slightly slower and you'll miss out on the fancy graphics. [02:01] RoDoX: it would seem so from the output of the mount command [02:01] Have any of you try sharing files between two computer connected via cat 5 cord ? [02:01] !xdmcp | flamsmark [02:01] flamsmark: xdmcp is the X Display Manger Control Protocol -- look at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/ to find out how to configure it [02:01] Slart: i dont get it...if its already mounted, why i cant access it/ [02:01] RoDoX: that's why I asked you to check in /media/hd .. the files from the camera should be there [02:01] how do you force an ssh session to quit?

[02:10] I just installed last.fm into my archive manager...do I need to type a command into terminal now? [02:10] Wowerz: nope you didn't... [02:10] Ericl80427, if the ps was going down, it wouldn't necessarily matter where the power was coming from, battery or ac [02:10] onats: midnight commander is terminal based.. nautlis.. thunar is another one [02:10] slart : this is a fresh install of 7.10. i reinstalled it last night [02:10] love it [02:10] MC [02:11] what do you mean..? [02:11] can't believe how great 7.10 is [02:11] why won't the terminal server client allow me to select xdmcp? [02:11] does thunar have a view that shows directory size? [02:11] oh wait [02:11] hey, anyone has any idea on how to recover a messed up partition? (everything went in lost+found and was renamed to #, but i can see the files and dirs fine in testdisk) [02:11] it's ok now [02:11] Wowerz: you didn't get it from eggheads.com.. that's one of those parked domains pages [02:11] 7.10 has just been acting up for me :( === n7|treefingers is now known as treefinger [02:11] anybody know of a mirror where i can get nginx 0.5.34? [02:11] onats, ah, baobab is kinda nice for that [02:11] the partition is ext3 [02:11] This channel is so much better than the fascists in #pclinuxos... they will ban you for "talking shop" [02:11] lol [02:11] nickrud, ok will take a look too.. [02:11] im running 7.04 because 7.10 the live cd wouldnt boot [02:11] slart : typo, www.eggheads.org [02:11] Ttech2: can you help me with something else?

Short of taking it to a shop, you can try to isolate the problem by eliminating causes. If it was me, I would eliminate the software first (if I couldn't see anything in the bios), by firing up a live cd to see what happens. If its hardware, it could be a dying component or overheating perhaps? [02:13] nickrud, is this by default included in the applications menu, or is this accessible by terminal? [02:13] flux-d - yes i do; i've asked a few questions, which one are you replying to? [02:13] Well it never happened on Vista [02:13] Do you mean what do I use my server for? [02:13] yes fw [02:13] RCOMALTA: file server+torrenting+space heater [02:13] help to config my file sharing? [02:14] How can I get my webcam set to /dev/video0? I installed the driver, the uvc one from berliOS, I have to do modprobe something right? [02:14] slart : thanks for your help. it's compiling now [02:14] it COULD be overheating but i highly doubt it [02:14] I use it as a file server, web server, music server, and ventrilo server [02:14] fw does you have mail server run on it [02:14] No, I have thought about trying it, but never have gotten around to it [02:14] i see [02:15] but im going to update to 7.10 so i will be going now, thanks for the help [02:15] flamsmark: Can you repeat them? I was not here === Flux-D is now known as FluxD [02:15] you there, Flux-d [02:15] Wowerz: did you run ./configure first? === Maximus is now known as Lapinux [02:15] Ericl80427: another cause of random reboots etc is bad memory. you can test that with an ubuntu install cd or any live linux cd. they all have memtest86 as one of the boot options. [02:15] right, sorry for that message, flux-d [02:15] onats, it would be under apps->access->disk usage [02:15] slart: can you help me with a pidgin problem? [02:15] Wowerz: ah.. good.. good luck with your bot [02:15] flux-d - i'm having problems with hibernation, and i'm trying to start a remote x session safely with a server [02:16] flux-d over an untrusted network, that is [02:16] I think my problem with the video could be I have a TV Tuner set to video0, but I'm not sure how to move it. [02:16] nickrud, ahhhh there it is.. thanks [02:16] NeT_DeMoN: transferring files with pidgin? never been able to do that myself.. sorry, can't help [02:16] flux-d - i have no idea about how to get hibernate to work [02:16] flamsmark: try it over ssh ?

[02:16] fluxd - that's my plan; how do i tunnel a xdhcp session over ssh? [02:16] fluxd i am in gnome [02:17] flamsmark: what happenes when u click on hbernate? [02:17] Is it possible to sync an iPod Touch with Linux? [02:17] blank screen. blinking cursor of doom. fluxd [02:17] how can you list all the channels using chanserv?

[02:18] flamsmark: personally I have never used that option, I just let it idle on screensaver so cant help much with that [02:18] how do I get xterm to use colors by default? [02:18] poninguru: thnks [02:18] Slart: hm...yeah... [02:18] Slart: awkward [02:18] fw_squatch i'm sure there are people working on it, but it's not a generally solved problem [02:19] fluxd - how about tuneling an x session over ssh? [02:19] matthew: there is a setting somewhere.. .xhrc or something like that [02:19] emm im on ubuntu 6.06 and I want 7.10, but when I click to upgrade to 7.10 from the update manager it cant verify the autenticity of the update. What might be the problem? [02:19] the casio cam is recognized as removable device, and on my canon is recognized as USB imaging interface [02:19] OK, so it's just a matter of time. I can wait little iPod friend...I can wait [02:19] Slart: the casio cam is recognized as removable device, and on my canon is recognized as USB imaging interface [02:19] fw_squatch i'd recommend you look for some specialty forums or sites for it [02:19] will do. Thanks for th einfo [02:19] flamsmark: http://www.vanemery.com/Linux/XoverSSH/X-over-SSH2.html [02:20] fw_squatch, though there's no guarantee that it actually will ever work - it is designed not to [02:20] can anyone help me with samba shares?

[02:22] Slart: its OK man...one more thing, do you use frostwire? [02:22] sontek, apt-get show , look at Maintainer. Do not bother the Original Maintainer, he's debian not ubuntu [02:22] fluxd right [02:22] RoDoX: nope.. only torrents [02:22] 2 ubuntus [02:22] Slart: which client? [02:22] RoDoX: azureus [02:22] sontek, arg, that was supposed to be apt-cache show [02:22] on Ubuntu? how???? [02:23] one 7.04 and the other is a 7.10 [02:23] i think im getting somewhere with this whole printer thing, i set the driver to a generic post script one and it say the job was completed but nothing came out [02:23] RoDoX: sudo apt-get install deluge gtk-gnutella [02:23] how to restart apache2 in ubuntu pls?

[02:25] invoke sounds so .. scary.. /etc/init.d/apache2 restart sounds easier =) [02:25] navandres: I think u can do it with samba [02:25] Slart, but inv works so nicely :) [02:25] I have had bad luck wiht Frostwire as well [02:26] Slart: the command mneptok just posted made you remind something? [02:26] nickrud: yes.. that's a problem with init.d, there's always something else in /etc that gets in the way.. =) [02:26] flamsmark: u dont have permissions? [02:26] RoDoX: Azureus and Frostwire require complete JVMs, as well as some Linux-fu to get them where they need to be stored and permissions set [02:26] RoDoX: nah.. just different ways of starting things in linux [02:26] FluxD: between two linux?

[02:40] NeT_DeMoN: now is the time to go to Google and ask about NAT, port forwarding, and your router. ;) [02:40] mneptok: im stealing my internet from a router [02:40] FluxD, no it still does not play the audio [02:40] * nickrud hates his router [02:41] NeT_DeMoN: if u have a router goto portforward.com [02:41] NeT_DeMoN: then you have no options. [02:41] ok [02:41] Jude: it should say some random error in the terminal [02:41] is there a decent list of terminal emulators somewhere? [02:41] * Pelo thinks nickrud should let love in his life [02:41] * nickrud thinks about loving Pelo [02:41] shudders :) [02:41] * Pelo runs aways screaming [02:41] but i can recieve files on my msn and aim [02:41] how to get compiz working with ati x1100 [02:41] FluxD, it shows that there is no audio [02:41] Anyone got any recommendations on vnc? that help article seems to date back to breezy [02:42] mike_, ask in #compiz-fusion [02:42] NeT_DeMoN: find ur router and forward the specific port [02:42] mike: #compiz [02:42] dobblego, well, apt-cache search terminal emulator will catch most... and without too many false positives [02:42] haymaker: what are you looking to do with VNC? [02:42] thanks [02:42] LjL, good point, cheers [02:43] FluxD: but why does it only not work for yahoo screen names? [02:43] dobblego: actually those, those smart packagers made a virtual package that all terminal emulators should provide, so see http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/virtual/x-terminal-emulator [02:43] NeT_DeMoN: I have no clue =/ [02:43] MoreAllLess, primarily i want to connect to my home computer from wherever i am in the world. i want it to be secure, and require a username password. ideally i would like to control my current session [02:43] NeT_DeMoN: stop stealing. then worry about your IM problems. [02:43] haymaker: Well, I am sure there is more than one way to do this, but I can share how I do it? [02:43] lol === mike_ is now known as freeyo [02:44] MoreAllLess, go for it [02:44] haymaker: It may be a bit complex or more convoluted than it needs to, but it works for me! [02:44] Slart: do you have the ares (.deb) link to dl? [02:44] haymaker: Start by using SmoothWall instead of a router. [02:44] mneptok: well its not stealing to be correct, the person knows and just lets me [02:44] haymaker: Are you familiar with SmoothWall? [02:45] im making myself look bad :P [02:45] NeT_DeMoN: so ask them to set you up with a static IP and a port forward [02:45] MoreAllLess, i cant do that man, i have roommates, its their place and their network, i'm just using it === DiCha_cHa-Cha is now known as bejo [02:45] NeT_DeMoN: Then he wont have a problem letting youport forward and have access to his router.. though.. he is in violation of his IP access for allowing you to do so.. [02:45] if the router is not secured it's not stealing it is assumed to be open source wifi [02:45] mneptok: they dont even have admin control, its not installed on their computer [02:45] haymaker: do you need a GUI, or are you comfy on a command line? [02:45] haymaker: OK, then we have to go another route. Hold on, I'll check. [02:46] haymaker: vnc for ssh should probabl work? [02:46] mneptok, either or, but i want vnc for the graphical, i already have ssh [02:46] for = over [02:46] Good evening! [02:46] haymaker: just tunnel an X session over that ssh [02:46] FluxD, yeah i agree, but the article when i put !vnc looks really old [02:47] Jack_Sparrow: i have his router disc though, would i be able to take control of his router through a wireless connection? [02:47] haymaker: http://martybugs.net/smoothwall/puttyvnc.cgi [02:47] what happened to the ed2k network? [02:48] haymaker: what kind of router are your roomates using? [02:48] NeT_DeMoN: first find the router manufacturer and version [02:48] MoreAllLess, linksys g wifi router [02:48] FluxD: belkin54g [02:48] NeT_DeMoN: please stop asking about how to get unauthorized access to a router you do not own [02:49] NeT_DeMoN: goto portforward.com click on forwarding find ur client then click on yahoo [02:49] FluxD: ok [02:49] LIL im haveing really bad instability problems on gusty lol [02:49] NeT_DeMoN: http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm [02:49] MoreAllLess, i can already ssh into my machine [02:49] MoreAllLess, or at least i can set up sshd if i need to [02:49] Why is everyone suggesting vnc over ssh? [02:50] anyone help with compiz [02:50] Oh, that explains it! [02:50] FluxD: thanks [02:50] !compiz | freeyo [02:50] freeyo: 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] is any one running gusty on a laptop [02:50] haymaker: What are you planning to use on the remote side? [02:50] * nickrud raises his hand [02:50] SETKEH_: I was few months ago [02:50] SETKEH: yeah [02:50] haymaker: Windows or Ubuntu? [02:50] MoreAllLess, i work in windows hell [02:50] #adempiere-beginner [02:51] haymaker: OK, then you need to get putty. [02:51] MoreAllLess, i have [02:51] haymaker: OK. [02:51] Is there some sort of applet that can disable my laptop's touch pad. [02:51] Law506, FluxD what make where they im running it on an asus f3t [02:51] That should have been a question. [02:51] haymaker: http://martybugs.net/smoothwall/puttyvnc.cgi <--- has what u ned minus the smoothwall part [02:51] FluxD, yeah i'm looking at that [02:52] SETKEH_: acer aspire 5000 series [02:52] haymaker: Next when you create your connection in Putty, go to the SSH section on the left side. [02:52] !synaptics > PirateHead (see your private message) [02:52] Law506, FluxD im haveing really bad freezes where i have to reboot and when i shut it down it wont un mount the hda [02:52] haymaker: Go to tunnels. [02:52] MoreAllLess, is it all on this page: http://martybugs.net/smoothwall/puttyvnc.cgi [02:52] Ok, I got my webcam working, but does anyone know of a program that would work as a sort of motion sensor, as in, take a picture of any movement, and store it? [02:53] Thanks nikrud. [02:53] SETKEH_: any specifi application? [02:53] FluxD, not really no it does it when i open two apps at the same time or before one has finished initalising i think [02:53] haymaker: Yup! [02:54] I am not very pleased with ubuntu [02:54] MoreAllLess, FluxD had that [02:54] hi [02:54] haymaker: That's the ticket! That's the way I do it and it works well for me. [02:54] FluxD, but it freezes when it gets hot too but im guessing that is a normal thing lol cuz my windows does it too lol [02:54] Kul: why is that? [02:54] SETKEH_: mine restarts when it gets hot :) [02:54] Kul: It wont get better if that is all you can say about it.. Try asking a constructive question about the problem [02:55] we popped it in oneof our comps and instead of it booting from it immidiately like an older version of linux [02:55] haymaker: Well, if anything doesn't make sense, I can help clarify. [02:55] it started installing something [02:55] SETKEH_: reinstall not worky? [02:55] now the comp is slower [02:55] Kul: Live cd does not install anything to the hard drive [02:55] Kul: it wont install unless u tell it to [02:55] Kul: you are running the live cd? [02:55] FluxD, i should give that a shot lol [02:55] Jack_Sparrow: the kernel? [02:56] * Pelo waves hello to Jack_Sparrow [02:56] SETKEH_: also why not try fiesty? [02:56] FluxD, ill do that \ [02:56] MoreAllLess, i guess this document is written from the perspective of opening an ssh tunnel to the smoothwall machine, and then tunneling past it. i just have pnat enabled for ssh [02:56] Hi Pelo.. [02:56] Jack_Sparrow: oh it loads... but doesn't install... [02:56] I've got a cannon camera that offers me the option to import photos when I plug the usb, but I can't seem to figure out what the device name is [02:56] :) [02:56] FluxD, i have 3 or 4 distros of ubuntu but i dont know what they are lol i only know that that on is gusty cuz i got it in a magazine lol [02:57] haymaker: if you can ssh, then that's all you really need to create the tunnel. Putty and SSH will take care of the rest. [02:57] haymaker: Just remember to VNC to 'localhost' on the windows machine. [02:57] <[pablo]> why does the add/remove packages dialog in ubuntu 7.10 tell me that I can't install vmware-player because i386 architecture is not supported? [02:57] josh__, your camera should mount as a usb drive on yourdesktop, the name may varies wilddly [02:57] FluxD: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28Linux_distribution%29 for an overview fiesty is latest version, gutsy was second last version [02:57] possibly a lost cause or off topic - but does anyone use ubuntu to connect to their motorola razr? [02:58] [pablo], get it from the vmware website [02:58] vanberge: try with bitpim [02:58] haymaker: but in putty, as long as you make the ssh connection and set your tunnel up, it should work no problem. [02:58] MoreAllLess, we are clear that my host computer is a linux machine and the client pc is a windows box? if i vnc to "localhost" on a windows machine it will connect to itself? [02:58] <[pablo]> Pelo: i tried that, but I didn't see a deb adn the tar file has an installer script that assumes rcX style init system [02:58] haymaker: thats the use of ssh === Snuxoll_ is now known as Snuxoll [02:58] haymaker: No, that's the beauty of it! [02:59] [pablo], very odd, try asking in the #vmware channel [02:59] [pablo], that's what ubuntu runs, sysvinit or rcx [02:59] haymaker: it creates a "tunnel" and when u connect to it u connect thru this tunnel to the other machine [02:59] haymaker: It will actually connect to putty, which in turn will tunnel the connection over to the other side. [02:59] MoreAllLess, FluxD, let me look at these instructions and see if i can figure it out [02:59] ubuntu [02:59] MoreAllLess, FluxD, thanks for the direction though [03:00] haymaker: you can tunnel to any IP and port that you want. But on the client side you always use localhost to tunnel. [03:00] haymaker: np [03:00] haymaker: my pleasure. [03:00] anyone know what the best blogging software is for ubuntu? [03:00] haymaker: I'll be here a little longer in case you have questions. [03:01] anyone know of any way to display ansi art (codepage 437) in gnome-terminal? [03:01] sainzeo: http://linuxappfinder.com/package/gnome-blog [03:01] thanks FluxD === ajmorris_ is now known as ajmorris_|AFK [03:02] sainzeo: np [03:02] haymaker: also, if I may suggest, you can use port 5900 as the source port and 127.0.0.1:5900 as the destination in putty. That should work also. [03:02] FluxD: would you recommend Blogger or Wordpress? [03:02] FluxD, bitpim is available for linux? thought it was windows only app [03:02] haymaker: so long as the machine you are trying to VNC is the same one you are SSH'ing into. [03:02] vanberge: it is availabel check on their site [03:03] fug! [03:03] sainzeo: all personal preference [03:03] FluxD, will do, thkx [03:03] FluxD: none give more features than the other that you know of? [03:04] sainzeo: I really have no clue about that maybe check on google for it. I do know that wordpress is free and opensource on the other hand blogger is google owned and not open source, and wordpress has thousands of themes and plugins [03:05] * vanberge prefers wordpress [03:05] chug-a-lug [03:06] i need help, i have ubuntu 7.10, and i uninstalled networkmanager and installed wicd and it doesnt work, and i cannot reinstall the networkmanager [03:06] nano__: do you have a question? [03:06] Matt: wicd needs to e uninstalled before installing network manager [03:06] Matt, why can you not install network manager ? do you get an error msg 6 [03:06] howdy [03:07] bazhang: yeah [03:07] when i try to install wicd it says "the network manager applet could not find some required resources. it cannot continue" [03:08] Matt: u need to uninstall wicd or networkmanager wont work/install [03:08] Matt, any info on what the required resource is ? [03:08] no, wait, it might be working now...give me one sec [03:08] im having trouble with my desktop resolutions can someone help if i type this sudo xinit -- :2 this is what i get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48621/ [03:09] Can anybody give me some help with getting DVD playback working in the Dell version of Ubuntu 7.04? [03:09] spideyman, what is the problem you are having, the res you want not available in the resolution dialog ? [03:10] !dvd | Raguleader [03:10] Raguleader: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [03:10] How come SimDock will not open when I want it too? I downloaded the .tar.bz file and installed wxwidgets and it all seemed ok, i look through the output of the commands that I was typing and I did not see any errors. So how come when I go to Applications>Accessories>SimDock, I only get the loading cursor but then nothing happens after that, when I found the SimDock folder in my Home folder it had a picture of a lock [03:10] beside it, what does that mean and why won't SimDock open? [03:10] I've installed VLC and Libdvdcss2, but it says it needs Libc6 v.2.6 or better [03:10] I got banned in #ubuntu-offtopic for stating my displeasure concerning one of the rules, I'd like to appeal this case of op power abuse [03:10] nano__, #ubuntu-ops [03:10] nano__, you'll probably get banned in here if you try [03:10] hello, my ubuntu is now trying to start a second X on tty8 and it can't ... any idea why? [03:10] Hello again [03:11] ok i got it working [03:11] i cant add a xorg config file gives me errors i want to get more than just this one resolution [03:11] is there an app that acts like a stopwatch? [03:11] How can I manually kill firefox without rebooting? I've tried killall -l and I don't see firefox listed, and I don't see it in the gnome system monitor either. [03:11] bobbob1016: u see firefox window? [03:11] bobbob1016, it'd be killall firefox-bin [03:11] spideyman, do you currently have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file ? [03:12] Okay, so here we go again. I put the 7.10 64-bit ISO I downloaded from the website on a brand new CD-R I bought tonight. Reset the computer and let it run from the disc. Choose "Run Ubuntu from Safe Graphic Mode" from the list. It gets to 100% of loading kernal and then my monitor says "No Signal" and that's all she wrote. Help if possible. [03:12] anyone using beryl [03:12] bobbob1016, alt_F2 xkill, click on the FF window [03:12] crispexi, sometimes I do [03:12] nickrud, Thanks [03:12] no and it wont let me make one [03:12] !compiz | crispexi (beryl is superseded) [03:12] crispexi (beryl is superseded): 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 [03:12] LinuxEzGer8: I also got that error but it went fine after few seconds [03:12] how do i make Wicd start up automatically at boot?

[03:13] something about cant find battery files [03:13] fluxd: ok [03:13] spideyman, that's out of my league then, try searching the errors msg on google ro in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org [03:13] fluxd: thanks [03:14] Pelo, I mean it crashed, and there is no window, when I restart it, it says already running, I nickrud's solution worked though [03:14] Hello [03:14] ive been everywhere [03:14] Would there be a reason why I cannot edit the Title in an ID3 tag with Rythmbox? (both on my HD and on my iPod) [03:14] I've followed all the tutorials I could find online, but nothing seems to address that I can't find a newer version of Libc6 2.5, and libdvdcss2 says it needs 2.6 [03:14] i think wine did this to me [03:14] Does anyone know a workaround or a fix for this? [03:14] [03:14] hmmm I had a problem similar to that before; did you pick a theme with the emerald manager? you can also right-click the beryl-manager icon and try switching to GNOME/KDE and switch back [03:14] i am trying to update to 7.10 from 7.4...i use the update manager and it says cannot find repositories...any ideas? [03:14] Does ubuntu come with firewall rules activated? [03:14] spideyman, tr7 asking in ##linux, , it is unlikely that wine did this to you , [03:14] !w32codecs | Raguleader [03:14] Raguleader: The Win32 codecs are available from the Medibuntu repositories (see « /msg ubotu medibuntu »), and for releases prior to Gutsy, also at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages [03:15] spideyman, start considering that you might have to clean install [03:15] i know again [03:15] I have an issue thats not related to Ubuntu, but it is linux related, on boot on this machine I'm trying to install a linux operating system on, it keeps shooting a L 01 error on boot.... anyone have any advice for me? I'd really appreciate anything that can lead me in the right direction. [03:15] kenan: dunno, not familar with that app, but you can go to system->preferences->main menu, then right click on the app, select properties, and it will give you the command line [03:15] worthawholebean, threr shoslnT' be any firewall rules out of the box [03:15] I have a cisco 2621 which is running 2 T1s with CEF bonding - Want to upgrade to 4 T1s with MLPPP - will this handle it ok? [03:15] Jerome_, that's an error that lilo spits out when it can't find some boot files, you want to research lilo [03:16] pelo, so servers should just run, right? [03:16] do you know where the desktop would get these default settings so i could maybe modify that file [03:16] Flux: Thanks, will give that a shot [03:16] g'night folks [03:16] JEROME: format the drive, get the freeware program called dban (derriks boot and nuke) and run it...itl do the trick usually..then try SpinRite [03:16] nickrud: Appreciate it alot dude!

[03:18] ubotu: [03:20] Jerome_, http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2005-02/0692.html might do the trick, it always worked for me :) [03:20] Arg, installed w32codecs and it didn't seem to change anything [03:20] hello im new here [03:21] e [03:21] i have some question about tar.gz. is this the place for me to ask?

Anything else I might try? Is there an older version of libdvdcss2 that doesn't need 2.6 of Libc6? [03:23] kenan: it doesn't look like that library is available through ubuntu repos, however google has a link to opensuse, which i think is debian based...maybe you can get a copy there...although no idea if it would work [03:23] how? ive tried puting 2 lines.. option domain-name-server 1.2.3.4 ; but doesnt seem to work with 2 [03:23] ssjaken i downlaoded fritzbot but i can't add bots!!!

(because there is an unofficial one called ultimate) [03:25] juan:id look up the exact command...i cannot remeber it off my head...make sure that you have the proper paramters....i do remeber that you have to put an amount "addbots 6" [03:25] verb3K:yeah, official...i ordered them from UBUNTU.com [03:25] Is there some way in Ubuntu 7.10 to make a liveCD without having to download it? Kinda like Windows can make boot disks? [03:25] ssjaken good tip, thanks, but in the readme file says that putting "addbot" would add a random bot [03:25] Raguleader: libc6 2.6 should be in repo ? [03:25] timandtom: no [03:25] ssjaken i have et v 0.60b [03:26] ssjaken, do this in terminal and see what happens : sudo apt-get update [03:26] timandtom: Anyone can make a live CD, but you'd have to download various development-type tools that are not included on the default install to do so. [03:26] juan:mmmm im not sure then, i havent used that mod that mutch so im not an expert [03:26] Ah, poo [03:26] timandtom, you can order a CD if that is what you mean [03:26] verb3K: ok hold on [03:26] ssjaken do you use another bots?? [03:26] Raguleader: it is in repo [03:26] Nah, i just have about an hour to get a LiveCD for my friend to try something [03:26] I have a question about a backup script I'm running on Ubuntu Server 7.10. If, in the crontab file, I invoke the script as "nice -n 15 /path/to/backup.script", will all the processes STARTED BY the script have a nice value of +15? [03:26] Hey I am trying to set up my computer to use the Colemak layout, and I am getting this message - "Deferring virtual terminal setup until console accessible." When I try to type the install path.... [03:26] juan: i dont use bots...i just play...only dabbled with bots offline [03:27] The point of a higher nice value would be to prevent the backups from overtaking the database/web server. [03:27] dabbled [03:27] Can someone refer me to distro with a smallish liveCD? [03:27] VERB3K: you want the error i got? [03:27] Small file size I mean [03:27] ssjaken, if there is :) [03:27] timandtom, DSL Damn Small Linux [03:27] timandtom: damn small linux [03:27] timandtom: try Damn Small Linux? DSL? [03:27] LOL [03:27] whats the comands to install all pakage all upgrades ??? [03:27] :) [03:27] timandtom: http://www.puppylinux.org/user/viewpage.php?page_id=1 [03:27] ssjaken, if big , paste it in dpaste.com [03:27] Ahahaha, HIVEMIND! :D Ok, will do, thanks guys [03:28] timandtom: puppylinux [03:28] VERB3k: ok [03:28] ssjaken yeah but i'm new at the game and if i play online ppl kill me in 3 secs and they usually put imposible bots [03:28] my laptop (Gutsy) is having trouble installing software from source packages. Anyone know a good tutorial or FAQ? [03:29] Ok, thanks guys, I'll try that. [03:29] Greevous: what kind of trouble? [03:29] Greevous, always make sure you have the dependencies [03:29] SETKEH_: sudo apt-get update I think [03:29] Greevous: why are you trying to install from source? [03:29] juan:id email the fritzbot creator or check their official site [03:29] verb3k:http://dpaste.com/28348/ [03:29] Greevous: You mean compiling your own from source and not source from our repos? [03:29] ssjaken lol, thanks, i'll try [03:29] ssjaken bye [03:29] SETKEH_: apt-get upgrade also [03:30] What does "Deferring virtual terminal setup until console accessible." mean? [03:30] I install some packages from source because they're obscure and not listed in multiverse, universe, etc. [03:30] Flux: What's repo? [03:30] !repo [03:30] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource [03:30] !compile | Greevous [03:30] Greevous: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [03:30] I run commands like "make" "make install" and "./configure" but none of these are recognized [03:30] Ok, another question, how do I burn an .iso? [03:30] ssjaken, try doing the command again to see if the problem persists [03:30] Greevous: yea, you need build-essential [03:30] !build-essential [03:31] Greevous: what are you trying to compile? [03:31] timandtom:just right clicking and clicking burn or something should do it [03:31] Greevous: most open source software is pre-built for Ubuntu [03:31] newest version of libc6 I've been able to find in the Ubuntu repositories (or in the restricted repositories) is 2.5 [03:31] which, evidently, totally doesn't work at all [03:31] timandtom: from windows or ubuntu? [03:31] bazhang:Ubuntu [03:32] ssjaken, are you there ? :) [03:32] VERB3K: yeah, same error [03:32] hi [03:32] ssjaken, ok [03:32] doorknob60: Oh, it handles it without any special program? Sorry, used to windows, haha, new to linux [03:32] how do i install tar.gz [03:32] SuperQ: yeah, but this software in particular isn't really "supported" anymore [03:32] timandtom: right click open with cd/dvd creator then put in a blank cdr when it prompts you [03:32] Greevous: yes, but what is it exactly [03:32] sometimes i can install in terminal [03:32] Does anyone know what - "Deferring virtual terminal setup until console accessible." mean? [03:32] Greevous: heh, just spit it out :) [03:32] bazhang: Ah, awesome, thanks [03:32] Hi folks, can I verify if somebody tried to log in on my account ? where is it stored or what is that logfile named ??? [03:32] frozenbytez: There should be a readme in the file or instructions where you got the tar in the first place [03:32] but sometimes its hard to install [03:32] timandtom:well welcome to the world of ubuntu :D [03:33] Greevous: we might know if there are any specific dependancies [03:33] SuperQ: honestly I'd love to, but I don't have my laptop in front of me right now and I can't recall the name [03:33] k [03:33] Greevous: well, you'll need atleast build-essential installed [03:33] AutoMatriX: /var/log/auth.log [03:33] SuperQ: got it; thanks very much [03:33] AutoMatriX, go to System < SSystem log << user.log [03:33] np [03:33] p_quarles, thans so much [03:34] ssjaken, do this: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/* [03:34] IamReck, idem, thanx to you [03:34] ssjaken, and then do: sudo apt-get update [03:34] verb3k: ok doing it now! [03:35] ssjaken, ok [03:35] Does anyone know what - "Deferring virtual terminal setup until console accessible." means? [03:35] AutoMatriX: the "last" command will also show the last users to log in and when they were logged in from-till etc [03:35] VERB3K: well i didnt get an error back this time [03:35] now what? [03:36] #semarang [03:38] ssjaken, sorry I was disconnected ....what happened? [03:38] when i try and play .avi movies in VLC the picture shakes, does anyone know how to fix that? [03:39] verb3K:it did it without an error this time, what is my next step [03:40] ssjaken, try updating and see if you see upgrade note there [03:40] ssjaken, update manager [03:40] ssjaken, you should install all updates before you make an upgrade [03:41] verb3K:i have all updates installed [03:41] ssjaken, ok what does it say?

I have installed Fedora 8, which I found a pain. It forces you to use LVM. To my surprise the Ubuntu Installer partitioner supports LVM. All you have to do is apt-get install lvm2 on the LiveCD. [04:04] tyler_d, gconf-editor is a *fun* place to play [04:04] Should I install Ubuntu onto those LVM partitions?

[04:11] Last night, I had the 32-bit installation of 7.10. Come to find out Creative Labs only makes a Linux driver for my sound card in 64-bit. So everything but sound is working fine with 32-bit 7.10. I upgrade today to 64-bit 7.10 and now I can't launch Ubuntu from my 512MB video card. Once it loads the kernel, the monitor says "No Signal". I can launch it from the craptastic 64MB onboard one (using nvidia drivers that came with 7.10). I'm [04:11] hello everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [04:11] lolaus you can try network manager [04:11] I love ubuntu...... [04:11] speeddemon8803: network manager has that built in? [04:11] yep [04:11] madhatte1: do you see it in the system menu? [04:12] that greate bmoney [04:12] im using it with a wireless network card :) [04:12] lostchild, I run it by running restricted-manager , selecting the ati driver, then sudo modprobe fglrx. Log out, log back in, run fglrxinfo and make sure it's running ati drivers. sudo aptitude install xserver-xgl, log out, and back in. I have compiz :) [04:12] lol [04:12] bmoney: got a question? this is a support channel [04:12] speeddemon8803: any tips on how to set it up? [04:12] verb3k_, heh. Learn something new every time I log in here :) [04:12] I love ubuntu to [04:12] I know it's long-winded, but does anyone have any idea as to what my problem might be? [04:12] nickrud, :) [04:12] but im pissed of a this new craptastic 7.10 [04:13] bazhang: yes I have it loaded up now [04:13] i need to use apt over an insecure Internet connection. the new security provides encryption and authentication right? [04:13] it got a lot of bugs [04:13] nickrud, I can get that to work. My question is how can it be done without XGL. I already have direct rendoring and the ATI drivers working. I know I have to add fglrx to the white list for compiz. [04:13] bazhang, ive recently been divorced, should i i let someone else into my life, its been 3 months [04:13] :) [04:13] this is the biggest IRC channel I've ever seen [04:13] still no loadup bar [04:13] um, you have to figure out on your own which ethernet port its using eth1 or eth0 [04:13] !ot | bmoney [04:13] bmoney: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:13] speeddemon8803: got that, it's eth1 [04:14] bazhang: there are two drivers in the list. "Atheros HAL" and "software modem driver" [04:14] madhatte1: do you see the driver for your wireless there? does it say enabled not in use? something like that? [04:14] !rude [04:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about rude - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:14] is anyone running the beta hardy heron vertion? [04:14] bazhang: no they are both in use [04:14] lostchild, oh, you're using the drivers from ati? they can do compiz without xgl, but I stick with ubuntu packages exclusively. Predictability and reliability are my requirements, which is why I run ubuntu [04:14] madhatte1: which is selected [04:14] Cairo, yes that's a healthy sign :) [04:15] Last night, I had the 32-bit installation of 7.10. Come to find out Creative Labs only makes a Linux driver for my sound card in 64-bit. So everything but sound is working fine with 32-bit 7.10. I upgrade today to 64-bit 7.10 and now I can't launch Ubuntu from my 512MB video card. Once it loads the kernel, the monitor says "No Signal". I can launch it from the craptastic 64MB onboard one (using nvidia drivers that came with 7.10). I'm [04:15] madhatte1: deselct the software modem driver one and does the atheros say in use or not [04:15] has anyone used APTonCD? [04:15] bazhang: both drivers say in use [04:15] lostchild, however, I did try those new drivers and I was really disappointed by their performance compared to xgl [04:15] then go to system->network click on wireless connection then click properties, enable roaming mode is what I did, and it set it all up, all I have to do is switch profiles by right clicking the network monitor system tray icon.....and clicking the network I want to connect to. [04:15] madhatte1: open up a terminal and type ifconfig [04:15] I'm having some trouble with it- if someone could help me? [04:15] nickrud, I guess there really isn't a choice right now is there? [04:16] speeddemon8803: but how do you do the monitoring? [04:16] its got a set of 4 blue bars [04:16] bazhang: what do you want to now from ifconfig? [04:16] the bars go up and down with connectivity. [04:16] madhatte1: does it show a listing for wireless? [04:16] anyone? [04:17] winkman, what's the problem? [04:17] !aptoncd | winkman [04:17] winkman: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [04:17] you can also right click that icon and it shows all kinds of useful information :) [04:17] Bazhang: Hello. Are you available for some additional help beyond what you helped me with last night? [04:17] bazhang: I don't see anything mentioning wireless [04:17] speeddemon8803: I'm actually working with a wired connection [04:17] madhatte1: what about iwconfig === _max is now known as max [04:18] i have an avi and i'd like to convert it to dvd format and burn it to a .iso [04:18] I don't know about wired connections, my um..landlord refuses to wire my house up for that :) [04:18] lostchild, for me, no. [04:18] Does anyone know of a simple package that will log if it loses ethernet connectivity? [04:18] any way to do this? [04:18] bazhang: lo no wireless extentions_ eth0 no wireless extensions [04:18] Is anyone able to help me with video problems? I can't launch Ubuntu 7.10 64-bit when my 512MB video card (nvidia GeForce 8400GS) is plugged in. It runs in 64-bit fine from the 64MB onboard, and it ran fine in 7.10 32-bit, but now that I upgraded to 64-bit, it can't get a signal. [04:19] maybe logic [04:19] r.a.w [04:19] madhatte1: have you installed the package madwifi-tools? [04:19] speeddemon8803, euphemism ? ;p [04:20] bazhang: no. I'll do that now if I can. [04:20] explain quantum physics please [04:20] karaokecdg ubuntu [04:20] up is down. qed [04:20] nickrud, I might try that :P [04:20] Ganjistus23: sure, justnothere not now [04:20] cdg ubuntu [04:22] Gre1: I helped you last night? can't remember :} [04:22] mplayer4 plays realmedia crap? [04:23] bazhang: Yessir. You got me the iso for 64-bit, and now I'm having more problems since upgrading to it. :D First thing, I can't use my 512MB video card. [04:23] real player does Ganjistus23 [04:23] bazhang: I've installed madwifi... not sure what to do with it [04:24] madhatte1: can you lspci on that atheros card in the terminal and tell me the exact atheros number eg 5007 etc [04:25] Gre1: what card and what driver? [04:25] bazhang: ar2413 [04:26] madhatte1: and you also installed ndiswrapper drivers? [04:26] Is there a chroot command? [04:27] GeForce 8400GS. Was running fine last night with ubuntu's nvidia drivers that came with the 32-bit version. I got CD-Rs on my way home and was able to upgrade to 64-bit 7.10 and now the video card isn't recognized. [04:27] bazhang: see above [04:27] bazhang: I tried to use ndisgtk to install the driver I found on the acer recovery disk but it gave me the invalid driver message [04:27] Any one notice it taking a long time to load songs in to Serpentine? [04:28] Gre1, I hate 64 ...I have AMD64 and I run 32 version on it to avoid problems [04:28] Gre1: any reason that you want 64bit? not many advantages iirc unless you are doing coding video encoding--mostly just headaches [04:28] anyone here have ubuntu studio or is anyone here in music production? [04:28] /henp [04:28] bmoney: sup [04:28] bmoney: perhaps try #ubuntustudio [04:28] madhatte1: sounds like a possible conflict there :} [04:29] gozilla [04:29] phenom: hey sup man, pici, im there but no one is talking [04:29] bazhang: Creative Labs, in their infinite wisdom, make only a 64-bit driver for my sound card. So at this point, I can either have kickass sound or kickass video, but not both. I guess I'm going back to 32 and will trade in my sound card tomorrow. [04:29] Gre1, got it :) [04:29] bazhang: what does that mean? [04:29] phenom: you in music production? === _xALEXANDRE is now known as xALEXANDRE [04:30] bmoney: Yea, I'm working on setting up a mac with protools/reason/flstudio right now. [04:30] Gre1, strange, should be recognized by default, soundblaster? [04:30] Hi there I am slowly growing crazy trying to install PCSX2 on ubuntu, i've been through the faq.s and guides but I haven't had any success with installing the plugins, if anyone has mannaged to install the program properly i'de really appreciate a little chat.:) [04:30] madhatte1: the card worked fine with the live cd? you were able to connect wirelessly in live cd mode? and then put in the ndiswrapper ones? [04:30] phenom: nice i played a lil with flstudio, got accustomed to it, have you tried hydrogen? [04:30] verb3k_: Sound Blaster Xfi Xtreme Audio [04:31] anyone know of any good gtk dvd authoring programs? [04:31] verb3k_: new to the market this year apparently. Linux driver released in Sept. Is there a way I can convince the driver I'm running 64-bit? [04:31] ok then do it at yoru own risk [04:31] Nah, I'm mainly setting this up for a lazy friend, although I've tinkered around with protools/reason/flstudio a bit. [04:31] bazhang: thats a misnomer, 64bit has very few issues now [04:31] phenom: well, im looking for some free samples, flstudio came with tons so i never need to download any, you know of any place that has free samples to download? [04:31] Gre1: that 512mb video cards sounds like it must take priority [04:31] hello all i need advice on ubuntu and samba im trying to share files over my network and i cant log in from other computers i have not set a username or password but its askign for one [04:31] Gre1, not sure , as I didn't run into this before [04:32] Evanlec: but any real advantages? [04:32] bazhang: speed! [04:32] Evanlec: how measured? [04:32] bmoney: samples for FLStudio? or hydrogen? [04:32] i invite u to read this artcile: http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/10/16/64-bit_more_than_just_the_ram/1 [04:32] bazhang: Yea, $140 video card or $40 sound card... not much of a toss-up on that one. I can play muted for all I care about sound. :D Though I did get some pretty nice speakers (6:1) [04:32] bazhang: yes it did work with the livecd but after the install I don't even get any wifi options [04:33] phenom: either or, as long as it is in a common format? [04:33] bmoney: You want sound packs? :) [04:33] phenom: yes [04:33] Or, full samples [04:33] or already written songsd? [04:33] sound packs [04:33] bazhang: basically, there's no reason NOT to run 64bit linux as i see it [04:33] bmoney, if you are looking for samples in general, there is a huge list of free sample archives on the "samples and recording" forum on kvraudio.com i think its stickied. [04:33] bmoney, check out any torrent site, [04:33] can dl gigs of sounds [04:33] unless u need some very specific software that is ONLY available in 32bit [04:33] phenom: ok ... thanks for the advice [04:33] madhatte1 [04:33] flstudio and the like plays normal .wav and midi files. [04:34] Evanlec: okay that article sold me--I have a 64 bit system--will wait for hardy then upgrade thanks! [04:34] Evanlec: Can you help me with 64bit? [04:34] /set NOVICE off [04:34] bazhang: glad to hear ;) [04:34] bmoney, http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37272 [04:34] madhatte1 did you allow the unsupported drivers [04:34] Gre1: what do u need [04:34] hehe [04:34] hello all i need advice on ubuntu and samba im trying to share files over my network and i cant log in from other computers i have not set a username or password but its askign for one [04:34] phenom: have you tried out hydrogen, wondering if there is a generator plugin for it [04:35] Evanlec: Was running fine last night with 32-bit except i had no sound. DId some digging and my sound card only has a 64-bit driver. So I updated to 64-bit tonight and now it can't recognize my video card. [04:35] bmoney, No sorry. [04:35] phenom: ok [04:35] Gre1, The first company to favor 64 over 32 is creative according to you :D [04:35] crinkelite: I don't know how. The only restricted drivers I have seem to be unrelated to the wifi card. [04:35] littlebear72: in a terminal, 'sudo smbpasswd ' to set up a password [04:35] Gre1: is it a creative X-fi card? [04:35] verb3k_: I was as shocked as you. It's lame beyond belief. [04:35] Gre1, strange, are you sure the driver is 64 only? [04:35] Evanlec: Yessir. [04:35] madhatte1: if it worked in the livecd then something you did after install may have affected it, or there are some drivers you have to enable--the installing ndiswrapper is the suspect spot--is this a fresh install--do you need to back up? [04:35] wow thats simple lol [04:35] Gre1: k..what video card? [04:35] thanks Falstius [04:35] Evanlec: GeForce 8400GS [04:36] verb3k_: yep he's right, the x-fi for some reason has a 64bit driver but no 32bit driver [04:36] Gre1: and ur running regular ubuntu 64? [04:36] Evanlec: As of right now, yes. === amidanie1 is now known as amidaniel [04:36] Gre1: k, should be no problem to just use the restricted driver utility to install ur drivers [04:37] nvidia releases 64bit drivers for every card now i believe [04:37] bazhang: I didn't do anything at all (I'm 100% sure) after the install. I immediately tried to get the wifi card started because at the time I had no cable on me and I had no way of downloading any new files unless the wireless started up. [04:37] fayya [04:37] Evanlec: I have to admit, even with the crappy 64MB on-board video card, it's crisp as hell. And I did that already. I installed the drivers, upgraded to them, rebooted, turned it off, put in the video card and the same result. It loads the kernal and then the monitor says "No Signal" === Rheo_Kangen is now known as fayya [04:37] I just deleted my old swap partition and made a new one with a LiveCD. Will ubuntu automatically update to "the new partition" or do I manually have to do something? [04:37] whats the command to install the nvidia-glx-new driver for gusty [04:37] Gre1: why did u put the card in after installing the drivers?? [04:38] Gre1: you have to configure X to use the video card instead of the onboard video [04:38] SETKEH: just use restricted drivers control panel [04:38] Evanlec: Because before I had them it was doing the same thing as it is doing afterwards. As soon as I upgraded to 64-bit, I can't use the computer with the GeForce plugged in. "No Signal" [04:38] thankyou thankyou Falstius [04:38] Gre1: how did you upgrade to 64 bit exactly? [04:38] i looked everywhere for that info [04:38] Evanlec, i tired that but it wont enable it [04:38] wasme: OH! So it's just loading the kernal and then seeing the onboard and going with it?! [04:39] Gre1: okay um, what u want to do is disable the onboard video in ur bios [04:39] Pici: I DLed the ISO from the ubuntu site, burned to a disk, and ran it from there. [04:39] Gre1: From the sounds of it X is probably loading the onboard video, not the video card. [04:39] and use only the nvidia [04:39] Evanlec: I don't have an option for outright death of the onboard. I can only set it to disable itself if it detects the other one. [04:39] Gre1: From scratch? or did you upgrade from Feisty? [04:39] You don't even have to disable the onboard video on the bios ... just tell X to look for the nvidia card. [04:39] set ur bios to use agp or pci-x as primary video device, disable onboard video [04:39] Pici: Upgraded from 7.10 32-bit [04:39] Gre1: okay then set that [04:39] Gre1, don't lose hope, stick here and try [04:39] :) [04:40] any opne else why the nvidia-glx-new driver wont enable [04:40] one* [04:40] bazhang: what do you recommend then? Should I try reinstalling gutsy? [04:40] Evanlec: I am about 80% sure it is. I shall check it and return. [04:40] Wasme: How do I tell X to notice the right video card? [04:40] Gre1: k, and when u install the drivers, u need to have the nvidia card IN THE MACHINE [04:41] Gre1: its not like windows where u sometimes would need to install a driver before installing the actual hardware [04:41] Gre1: you need to run the x-configuration thingy over again [04:41] Gre1: I forget the command ... like dpkg-reconfigure or something. Let me check ... [04:41] THOSE WHO ARE HELPING ME: I'm going to plug in the video card, but keep the monitor plugged into the onboard and see if Ubuntu loads. If it does, I'll know it's recognizing the onboard. If it does not, what do I do then? [04:41] ??? [04:41] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:41] madhatte1: no, not yet; do you still have the livecd around? try booting up from that (not installing) and see what the restricted driver manager says when you connect wirelessly [04:41] has any one else had this problem [04:41] How do I check and see if my swap is correctly set up? [04:41] Gre1: yea, what Evanlec said ... sude dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:41] SETKEH, any error messages? [04:42] Gre1: er, *sudo* not sude ::) [04:42] Gre1: u have to get your bios to use your nvidia card as PRIMARY display device, so plug ur monitor into the nvidia until u get it working [04:42] SETKEH: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [04:42] Evanlec: So you believe it is NOT ubuntu? [04:42] verb3k_, it just says nvidia-glx-new not enabled [04:42] no [04:42] what do you guys use to edit video [04:42] Evanlec: Okay. I'll explore that route. Back in a flash! [04:42] its that u have onboard which is going to make itself the first vga device by default [04:43] bazhang: I can try that again. I did do it myself earlier but after the install (or maybe, more importantly, after XP was wiped) it even stopped working using the live disk [04:43] SETKEH, I wish I can help, but keep trying and asking don;t lose hope :) [04:43] Evanlec: Speaking of Flash, where do I get 64-bit Linux flash player? I DLed the 32 installer, but it wouldn't work. :D [04:43] Gre1, that's another 64 pain [04:43] Gre1: its easy, u just use nspluginwrapper [04:43] verb3k_: wrong, its easy now [04:43] madhatte1: aha; then the drivers are not part of the restricted driver manager [04:43] Evanlec, hope so [04:43] Evanlec: Don't go anywhere! You're my hero tonight! :D I'll be right back! [04:43] wasabi, ill try it [04:43] Gre1: there is no 64-bit linux flash player yet. You need to use the 32-bit version, and install some sort of wrapper-plugin. I don't know exactly. 64-bit still has too many compatibility problems like that for me to want to use it. [04:44] Gre1: k [04:44] cya all soon [04:44] Awww evanlecs got a hero today! cool! [04:44] Evanlec, is there a way to get a good java plugin for 64bit yet? [04:44] bazhang: okay so does knowing that help? [04:44] wasme: dont give advice if u dont know what ur talking about [04:44] anyone know about that lauchpad thingie? i wanna find dupe ref of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/176822 where's it hiding? [04:44] <----wishes I had a hero :( [04:44] nickrud: mm, not that i knwo of, i hear the next java release may be 64bit [04:45] * verb3k_ thanks Evanlec for correcting him and supporting the community :) [04:45] nickrud: of course there are ways t run java, but since i dont even run it i dont really know === ajmorris_|AFK is now known as ajmorris_ [04:45] Evanlec, that's what I hear also, I saw a post here recently that claimed otherwise but couldn't find anything [04:45] Can someone tell me what a UUID is? [04:45] !uuid [04:45] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [04:45] madhatte1: well you have said that after you wiped the xp install that the livecd did not work right? so that would mean that the madwifi would be necessary, or perhpas ndiswrapper--let me google a bit on that card [04:45] uhm. does the login screen of ubuntu, where you type in username/password, before gnome starts, use the same display settings as gnome itself? because i get a _different_ refresh rate, which is so annoying :( my poor monitor always has to switch click click [04:45] Evanlec, yeah, I run a 32bit firefox, I have a few sites I must visit [04:45] nickrud: yea im sure there are various ways to get java working, me personally id rather not have java ;p [04:46] and eclipse :) [04:46] bazhang: okay. I tried googling already but I know that googling is a skill that can be improved.

[04:49] SETKEH: well, I'm not sure then. nvidia-glx-new is the package that holds the nvidia drivers, and if apt can't find it then you have some sort of problem with apt.

[05:00] Evanlec: http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html [05:01] MindsEnd, you can autohide the bar vertically, I don't believe it allows horizontal anymore [05:01] Evanlec: Which one should I go with, since my Xfi is not on that list? [05:02] rkj90266, if you run xchat, you can right click #ubuntu on the left (or the button on the bottom if you have it configured that way) and turn them off [05:02] Evanlec: NM [05:02] Evanlec: Generic driver for all Xfis [05:03] Gre1: k, so the readme says uneed ur kernel sources [05:03] Evanlec: Okay, downloaded, unzipped to desktop... ready to launch... let me know what to do. :D I know how to run install files, but is there anything I need to do before hand? [05:03] Evanlec: ah [05:03] Gre1: i'd say u do apt-get kernel-source [05:03] Gre1: and apt-get kernel-headers [05:03] I'm trying to mount the harddrive from the live cd and chroot into it to run apt-get install lvm2 but it does not work [05:03] just to be safe [05:04] quit [05:04] i get groups: command not found [05:04] Can I do that from the Package Manager?

I'm using it right now :p [05:10] thank you ill try that [05:10] Evanlec: Can't find package "kernel" [05:10] can i install a version of 7.10 with a gdm, but without open office and other software?

[05:11] Gre1: with sudo of course [05:11] kromcuich: you can install the server edition, which is hardly anything at all, and then custom install whatever you want [05:11] Erealz, whats the problem? You tried mounting the partitions manually? [05:11] I have a laptop that has valuable info on it, but it lost it's mbr so i am running a linux live cd to get the data. how do i mount the drive to gt to the data [05:12] erealz - am not an expert, but I use a program called IFS drives to see ubuntu from my windows xp [05:12] my flash doesn't work [05:12] why? [05:12] and ur sure: sudo apt-get install linux-source [05:12] no just accessing it [05:12] It's doing something! [05:12] doesnt work? [05:12] danbhfive: thanks, will do [05:12] windows partion show up on ubuntu [05:12] I just can't have access to it [05:12] Evanlec: Wow, it's doing a lot of somethings. [05:12] I get this error hold on let me try and do it now... [05:12] ahh oops [05:12] just read the topic === Rheo_Kangen is now known as renata [05:13] k after that run sudo apt-get build-dep linux-source-2.6.22 [05:13] Evanlec: Thank you again for your help. If I can get the sound up and running I am a happy duck. [05:13] and also try sudo apt-get install kernel-headers [05:13] unable to mount valume [05:14] something about it being in habernation mode [05:14] whatever I maid sure I loged off that thing correctly [05:14] Erealz, edit the /etc/fstab and put in a proper entry is proberly the proper fix. of course Finding the info for the proper entry is the harder part. When in doubt try mounting the disk manually and trouble shoot from there. [05:14] so what can I do === chris is now known as gergreger [05:14] Erealz, You sure its not saying the ntfs partiion needs checked? [05:15] I tried to install proftpd on my ubuntu server via webmin; the apt-get install didn't finish and now I've got a broken install of proftpd on my system. First I removed the dpkg lock but I'm still getting an error from debconf: DbDriver "conf": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is in use by another process. [05:15] bazhang: I don't see how to add new devices. [05:15] no [05:15] Evanlec is there a way to mount a drive that doesn't have a label? [05:15] yea [05:15] anybody know how to fix fonts that display really small in fluxbox? [05:15] how do i go about that [05:15] it saying to please shutdown windows propperly [05:15] Evanlec: It says I need to install dpkg-dev. Doing so now. [05:16] brent1: mount /dev/sdXX /your/mount/point [05:16] hello. I am having problems when my desktop goes to sleep. The machine comes back up and the shuts down. Then, when I power it back up, it hangs on a black screen. Anyone familiar with this? [05:16] Gre1: k [05:16] blah blah this I annoying the bajesus out of me [05:16] I think I'm beyond help at this point [05:16] Erealz, When mounting ntfs filesystems. - Ive seen it where if windows crashes and needs to check the filesystem - Then linux WONT mount it for 'safety' reasons. You should boot up windows. and have it scan dht drives for errors. then properly shut down windows. [05:17] easycam reported that no compatable camera was found, i think mine uses the sn9c201 chipset but im not paying for a driver from linux-projects [05:17] yea bro [05:17] done that too [05:17] I defraged [05:17] Erealz, thers also a ntfs check command under linux. [05:17] and ran spinrite disk recovery and no luck [05:17] hi nickrud ;), i'm here again [05:18] Evanlec: Okay, there it goes. [05:18] iight help me troubleshoot this [05:18] Erealz you have you tried to force mount? [05:18] Evanlec: I did the linux-source one [05:18] Gre1: k [05:18] Erealz, i would say try mounting the thing manually and see what error messages show up. and pastebin the whole session. You may be overlooking somthing. [05:18] Evanlec: What was the other one? linux-headers? [05:18] im sure I am [05:18] Gre1: now just do sudo apt-get install linux-headers [05:18] Gre1: and try sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.22 [05:19] oh [05:19] Evanlec: roger [05:19] what the first command to check if all is well here [05:19] it could be, sudo apt-get install kernel-headers [05:19] Erealz, if you are really brave you could try checking the ntfs filesystem with --> For example: ntfsfix /dev/hda6 [05:19] my upgrade from feisty to gutsy was failed, here is the output: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48624/ [05:19] Erealz, the thing must be UNMOUNTED to do that however. [05:19] Evanlec: So how hard would Linux be to install on a machine where you don't know what any of the hardware is? [05:19] hold on [05:19] how come when i change from one workspace to another... its not changeing it the cool way anymore.. it just changes it normally and i have the cube option enabled [05:19] Evanlec do you have all the repos available? === Nilbus_ is now known as Nilbus [05:20] I just typed in mount to see what's mounted [05:20] Gre1: not too hard, depends on what hardware u have? [05:20] madhatte1: well that is your call-I'm willing to help you out if you wish--have you tried wicd? [05:20] Evanlec: It tells me I should explicitly ask which header to install. Do I do all of them? [05:20] poppy75: hm? [05:20] hmmm [05:20] i mean Grel [05:20] Gre1: how many are there? [05:20] I don't see windows [05:20] Evanlec: Well, was thinking about putting Linux on my old computer. And there are 5 headers. [05:20] hi all [05:20] only 5? if they're not too big, yea go ahead [05:21] Evanlec: roger [05:21] cant hurt [05:21] Grel if you do uname -a [05:21] god I hate to complete reinstalls to fix a problem that is sooo n00bish [05:21] it will list what kernel you have and you can install the matching headers [05:21] I need to talk to someone here - I am new to this room [05:21] he's running 2.6.22-14 or whatever 7.10 uses [05:21] what does the letters after 'tar' stand for and what should I use.... ## tar xvf filename.tar.gz [05:21] *do [05:21] anybody know how to fix my font that displays too small in fluxbox? [05:21] so generic i guess [05:21] biouser: check the tar manpage `man tar` [05:21] biouser: x = extract, v = verbose output, f = file [05:21] bazhang: thanks for your help. The big problem is that this is my friends computer and I am getting on a plane in an hour. I was trying to get it working by then. Now I have to go pack. [05:22] and z = use bzip [05:22] Pici, thanks, Evanlec [05:22] hello [05:22] How can I modify a linux iso like dsl or knoppix and burn it again as bootable ?? any Idea?? [05:22] no z is use gzip :) [05:22] could anyone tell me what package gtk-update-icon-cache is in? === jon_ is now known as kd7swh [05:22] fishbowl sudo apt-cache search gtk-update-icon-cache [05:22] fishbowl: sudo apt-cache search gtk-update [05:22] ;p [05:22] Evanlec: Done. [05:22] bazhang: I have one question though... if I get her to buy a wireless usb stick that is compatible with linux do you think she will have more luck? [05:23] lol [05:23] Gre1: k and how about sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.22 [05:23] Erealz, spend some time reading the various mount tutorials , and fstab, and ntfs tutorial/sites then. [05:23] Evanlec: Did it and it ran beautifully [05:23] <`Wargasm> anyone know why i get the "can not open file" error??? [05:23] ok [05:23] network manager is connecting to the wrong wireless network by default how can I change it? [05:23] Erealz, learning how linux mounts things is a top 10 thing to learn. :) [05:23] k [05:24] Gre1: k so u extracted the xfi driver? [05:24] madhatte1: I'd try to get the internal wireless going--usb dongles can be really troublesome--one final point--and this is ubuntu-based--you might give linuxmint a shot on that machine for a quick fix, then go back to ubuntu when you have more time to sort the wireless [05:24] yea im wana be a system admin [05:24] My sound (Other than the usual beep) isn't working. [05:24] Evanlec: I did. the readme says I also need the Alsa files [05:24] Hey. I had my old usb bluetooth adapter that worked fine with my mouse. But I managed to break it. So I recently bought a new one. Now with the new one my mouse connects to it, but only once. I have to re-connect via hidd --search every time I login. Any suggestions?

[05:26] Evanlec: Per the readme: "You must have the fully configured source for the Linux kernel and ALSA which you want to use for this device driver. Partial installed kernels (e.g. From distribution makers) may be unusable for this action" [05:26] Okay, a couple of reboots and proftpd installed. Can someone please remind me where inet.d is? [05:26] Evanlec: Like ALSA-Base? [05:26] yes i know [05:26] <`Wargasm> anyone know how to extend battery life in ubuntu?

[05:27] Gre1: k [05:27] <`Wargasm> well if there's other ways to improve battery life i wouldnt care [05:27] bazhang: okay. I will suggest that. I don't have time to download and install it now. But I'll get her to try installing it. I've set /home on a different partition so she should have no trouble. Thanks again for all your help.

[05:35] thought it just said he quit [05:35] posingaspopular, for the last one, I'd try sudo aptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r) [05:35] Evanlec: Inside the install directory, is another zip file that is a zipped directory of the same name. Inside that zipped directory is a ton of files, with an "install-sh" file, and many others. [05:35] Evanlec: why not use a live CD?..lol [05:35] Evanlec: i always just use putty [05:35] ok i wrote a cript that preforms the same command in a terminal but i cant get the script to wait to end before running the command again [05:35] waht's the $(uname -r) ?

[05:37] I switched systems (Same HD) and my sound stopped working.. Any ideas? [05:38] as i said it may look like a dos attack but i was told about it im just curious on how it works purely educational purposes [05:38] itsonlyeducation, put a sleep 10000 befor the done [05:38] or some other time. [05:38] so write sleep 10000 [05:38] Ose: sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base (i think, search synaptic for alsa and do dpkg-reconfigure on those packages) [05:38] posingaspopular, I've never installed virtualbox, but if you're compiling it you probably want to uninstall virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.22-14-generic [05:38] will this wait till the files done before doing it again [05:38] sleep 10000? u realise thats in seconds right? [05:38] !raid [05:38] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [05:38] Evanlec: here is a freebie http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html [05:39] whats the diffrence between ubuntu 7.10 and the one that was out like 5 months ago? [05:39] wats the code to start it again when its finished [05:39] itsonlyeducation how long do you want to wait before running again? [05:39] MasterShrek, I actually saw one that included the necessary stuff from the headers, it was *very* specialized :) [05:39] itsonlyeducation, from man sleep ---> - delay for a specified amount of time Pause for NUMBER seconds. [05:39] how can i make it wait atill its done and then loop the command [05:39] kd7swh: lol, thats from 1998 ;p [05:39] linux__: huge improvements in speed usability and user-friendliness [05:39] is there a way to boot a dual core machine with only 1 core (disabling the other via grub)? [05:39] itsonlyeducation, wget wont spawn in the background unless you tell it to.. so it should wait [05:39] itsonlyeducation: oh you just want it to loop not wait? [05:40] Evanlec: ssh hasn't changed that much [05:40] jumpkick: with grub? no, with BIOS maybe [05:40] i want it to loop when its done yeah [05:40] ic nickrud, i could see how soemthing like that would work, but you would need to have quite a bit of know-how on the kernel to be able to pull it off i spose [05:40] kd7swh: yea i think ur right [05:40] It keeps saying permission denied [05:40] Evanlec: my bios sucks... :( [05:40] Evanlec [05:40] Evanlec: here is a rundown http://www.jfitz.com/tips/ssh_for_windows.html [05:40] itsonlyeducation, you may want to do some reading of the 'advanced bash scripting guide' it has oooodles of examples. [05:40] Gre1: make it executable [05:40] MasterSkrek: How? [05:40] can someone give me the basics on the whole booting from lan thing? [05:40] itsonlyeducation, and its in the repos. :) abs-guide i think is the package name [05:40] MasterShrek, nah, just include the necessary files from the particular kernel you are building against, and set --include correctly [05:41] ok posingaspopular my suggestion is totally uninstall and install again mine did that when i tried to install but i found myself having to install it in stages [05:41] Gre1: in the terminal or gui? [05:41] littlebear72: yea but i haven't installed it yet... [05:41] MasterShrek: terminal [05:41] ive been trying this doing various purges and installs for like 3 days [05:41] Gre1: chmod a+x [05:41] !swap [05:41] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [05:41] yeah but parts if you look in the synaptic manager have [05:41] and they need to go to get it right [05:41] configure: error: no GL library found [05:42] . [05:42] Evanlec: here is another option http://beatys1.mscd.edu/~csi/MSSH/index.html [05:42] did you install build-essential? [05:42] i am about to get one of these low power koolu machines, I am thinking of doing a ide->CF adaptor instead of a regular harddrive, anyone have any thoughts, experiences with running linux on a CF card [05:42] MasterShrek: Can I do that to a directory? [05:42] biouser: install libgl (if there is one, i dont know any ubuntu pacakges, but also get the -dev package of it, if you compile something, you generally need the -dev packages of the dependencies afaik) [05:42] biouser: what are you trying to compile? [05:42] !info libgl [05:42] Package libgl does not exist in gutsy [05:42] :( [05:43] !find libgl [05:43] Found: freeglut3, freeglut3-dev, gle-doc, libgl1-mesa-dev, libgl1-mesa-dri (and 96 others) [05:43] ryancr: its not fun running linux on a cf they are slow [05:43] fmit-0.97.7 [05:43] Gre1: yes [05:43] how do you fix the centrino speed stepping problems [05:43] in gutsy [05:43] kd7swh: i think i mgiht try cygwin [05:43] fmit? [05:43] anybody know how to fix small fonts in fluxbox? [05:43] d|v: what kinds of problems? [05:43] . [05:43] you can't adjust the speed stepping [05:43] kd7swh: even the newer ones, the 266x are supposed to be something like 40MB/s [05:43] its stuck at 600 mhz [05:43] !info fmit [05:43] fmit: Free Music Instrument Tuner. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.97.6-1 (gutsy), package size 243 kB, installed size 688 kB [05:43] . [05:43] sudo cat /var/log/vbox-install.log says :ubable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel: [05:43] duno how to fix it.. [05:44] Evanlec: cygwin is a lot of work in my eyes for just ssh [05:44] biouser: why are you compiling it, if its in the repositories? [05:44] hey guys, i just downloaded a livecd of suse running KDE4, and it looks fairly decent. Is there a meta package available for ubuntu to install KDE4? [05:44] d|v: it will go up if you put the system under load, its scaling for powersaving i think [05:44] kd7swh: yea but hey im bored, and apparently i can run X apps as well [05:44] it would be unofficial of course. [05:44] ryancr: a sata dirve is 3GB/s [05:44] Nubbie: not yet, you need to compile it from SVN [05:44] yeah but i installed the gnome app [05:44] kd7swh: ah, well i don't have sata on this machine, whats a regular ide? [05:44] to give me control [05:44] and its not working [05:44] i think kubuntu has rc2 packages [05:44] that is just principle speed.. [05:45] biouser: are you there?... why are you compiling, when there's a version in the repos? [05:45] after addin the sleep command my script doesnt seem to be doin anything [05:45] MasterShrek: i think chmod -R /dir/ will do it recursively [05:45] Okay, so why is it telling me the product only supports 64-bit operating systems? [05:45] d|v: you need to have super-user priviledges i think [05:45] ryancr: it varies 133mb/s - 266mb/s [05:45] I saw beta's in backports, tried them on a lark but they had some file conflicts [05:45] posingaspopular: that doesn't sound very fun heheh. i'm a gnome guy through and through, but i'd like to try KDE4 running natively, not through VMWare. anyways, thanks! [05:45] Evanlec: yes it will [05:45] MasterShrek: :) [05:45] Nubbie: i think kubuntu has rc2 packages [05:45] yeah i do [05:45] Evanlec: I redownloaded it, thinking maybe it was the file. Nope. Same crap. [05:45] i installed the sofwate areleady [05:46] d|v: is the program being run as super-user or is it just your normal user? [05:46] ryancr: what is your plan? is it for a server? [05:46] any ideas [05:46] Nubbie: 24 moer days.. [05:46] superuser [05:46] Gre1: thats very strange...u could try extracting that other tar.gz and then running ./configure and then make and sudo make install [05:46] i just want a working script where it automatically d/l's afile wait for it to be done and then does it again [05:46] !sudo | d|v [05:46] d|v: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [05:46] kd7swh: yeah its just a small inhome server, music, videos etc, storage on external drives, OS on the CF card (maybe) [05:46] If I get the error: "checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" how do I fix it? Do I need to install a C++ compiler or something? [05:46] Evanlec: Whoa. Um... okay? [05:47] how do I fix compiz-fusion [05:47] i think my problem now is gettin it to start [05:47] i know what sudo is [05:47] hotmonkeyluv, sudo aptitude install build-essential [05:47] thanks [05:47] * nickrud fingers are sticky [05:47] it is all installed and was working but not anymore [05:47] ryancr: cf would be too slow to stream video off of. if you just want to install the OS on the CF card and hold the media on a SATA or IDE you should be good to go [05:48] kd7swh: I think ill just go with a 7200 80gig drive, machine takes 2.5" drives, then I know it will just work ;) [05:48] kd7swh: i was just thinking of even less power consumption and less noise [05:48] update broke or type of theme wrong? [05:48] ryan8403: your CF card will deteriorate very quickly if you run an OS off of it. They weren't designed for the type of persistent writing you're looking for. [05:48] Evanlec: Okay, extracted. How what's the ./configure do? [05:49] ryan8403: expect data loss. [05:49] Gre1: hang on im looking to see if anyone else had this issue [05:49] !compiz | slliness [05:49] slliness: 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 [05:49] my fonts in fluxbox are tiny, anybody know how to fix that? :) [05:49] !configure [05:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about configure - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:49] Evanlec: Thanks! [05:49] using high contrast inverse but cannot use emerald themes [05:49] LordDicranius: install gnome :D [05:49] ryancr: if it were me I would just use the hard drive. 2.5'' drives don't use much power anyway. [05:49] LordDicranius: just kidding :| [05:49] LordDicranius: you could try the fluxbuntu channel [05:49] Nubbie: already installed, I'm just testing out different window managers [05:49] Nubbie: ok thanks for the input, I think I will stick with a regular drive. [05:50] MasterShrek: I did sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsamixer and didn't get an error or any other output, and sound still doesn't w*ork. === Rheo_Kangen is now known as lutra [05:50] try the cli [05:50] it's fun! [05:50] ryan8403: are you looking for a low energy hard drive? [05:50] danbhfive: will do, thanks [05:50] slliness, #compiz-fusion has the compiz gurus [05:50] ryancr: as for noise cf would be quieter but too slow at about 3600 rpm [05:50] lag test [05:50] hrm. [05:50] Ose: alsamixer is just a mixer, i think u need alsa-base or something [05:50] !find alsa [05:50] Found: alsa-base, alsa-utils, gstreamer0.10-alsa, libesd-alsa0, libpt-plugins-alsa (and 37 others) [05:50] Er meant base. [05:50] Mixer didn't work period. [05:50] ryan8403: shell out of a solid state drive. [05:50] Ose: utils? [05:50] nickrud tried there noone answered waited all day [05:50] Nubbie: ryancr is asking about using CF cards instead of drives [05:51] slliness, ah. Well, I recommend that because I don't truly understand compiz ;( [05:51] MasterShrek: Same thing. [05:51] kd7swh: i realize that, but why not a solid state drive? (IE: NAND) ? [05:51] Nubbie: $$? [05:51] kd7swh: CF flash cards will break down very quickly, never mind how brutally slow they are. [05:51] Ose: what kind of card is it? lspci | grep Audio [05:51] What is OpenAL? [05:51] Man, I'm lagging like a hooker! [05:51] ryan8403: like everything in this world, if you want something better, you have to pay for it. [05:52] Can I get some help with my usb bluetooth adapter nad mouse? It doesn't connect. [05:52] MasterShrek: nVidia nForce3 AC'97 [05:52] nickrud it is just like emeral themer is not responding or I am just using metacity ... it is still metacity in 7.10 right? [05:52] Nubbie: he is limited on space (2.5'') haven't see a solid state 2.5 sure they are out there but $$$ [05:52] s/emeral/emerald [05:52] nubbie: yeah for sure, haven't even looked to see how much they are, just assume they are expensive ;) [05:52] Hello. I have an Atheros wifi card and upon booting Ubuntu for the first time it displayed my network but it won't connect to it [05:52] there are no error messages [05:52] If you have a /usr and a /usr/local partiton, can you save your installed programs if you reinstall ubuntu? [05:52] ryan8403: you're probably right, and I didn't realize how limited on space you were. [05:52] slliness, I've found that I need to do alt-f2 emerald --replace to get it to switch to a different theme I select in the themer [05:53] kd7swh: they must have developed a laptop sized SSHD by now... [05:53] ose: what sound card do you have? [05:53] [05:53] SanDisk SSD SATA 5000 2.5" [05:53] SpookyET: keep your /etc as well, as that's where all of the config files go. [05:53] slliness, it's always been that way for me, I assumed I'd done something wrong somewhere [05:53] hotmonkeyluv: Not sure honestly... My machine died so I threw everything in this one. [05:53] ryancr: how much is it? [05:53] ryan8403: yeah but for how much? [05:54] nickrud, compiz -- replace or emerald --replace [05:54] ryan8403: sorry for tab raping you for the last 15 minutes BTW LOL. [05:54] Nubbie: You can't have an /etc partition [05:54] haven't found a cost yet, you know what that means ;) [05:54] slliness, emerald [05:54] ose: heh heh, i've done that [05:54] Hotmonkeyluv: The one lspci | grep Audio gave was the motherboard one.. nForce3, AC'97. THough there is another, too. [05:54] SpookyET: i'm just saying your installed applications won't be portable without the stuff they install in /etc. [05:54] hcitool dev shows my usb adapter but when I try to connect to my mouse it doesn't. any suggestions? [05:54] Gre1: okay: here's the easy way: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571656&highlight=sound+blaster [05:54] ryancr: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820609241&ATT=20-609-241&CMP=OTC-Froogle&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-Solid+State+Disk-_-SUPER+TALENT-_-20609241 [05:54] MasterShrek: u have any experience with unetbootin? ;p [05:54] ose: realtek perchance? [05:55] not at all Evanlec [05:55] hotmonkeyluv: Doesn't say so, but I have no idea. [05:55] kd7swh: expensive: but actually less than i thought [05:55] Evanlec: I've used it (With varying degrees of success) [05:55] Evanlec: Quite frankly, that scares the &*@$&*@ out of me. With the video card problems I had until now, will it crap-out when I do that? [05:55] Evanlec: supposedly "nosmp" will do what I need... gonna try it now [05:56] Ose: try: sudo modprobe snd_intel8x0 [05:56] Gre1: forget what is aid, just follow that forum guide [05:56] so guys... is there any way to change system names? [05:56] speaking of sound can anyone help me get my mic/line in ports working? [05:56] Ose: will that actually allow me to resize the windows partition ? [05:56] and if there is, what implications would it have? [05:56] ok, please, does anyone know of a wireless card I cam pick up from Best Buy that I won't have to do all this ndis stuff? :) [05:57] Evanlec: Okay... here I go... [05:57] Ose: cuzright now i have no easy way to do that... [05:57] ryancr: check out this baby: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147021 [05:57] anyone home? [05:57] no [05:57] =p [05:57] evanlec: Yeah, it'll download Ubuntu installer (The mini image, I think) and let you do everything from there. [05:57] MasterShrek: No luck. [05:58] I'm trying to set up an ftp server - so far I seem to have it running but when I log into it (anonymously from another machine) there are no files displayed. In the vsftpd.conf file I don't see any setting to establish where the ftp server is to be located in my directory structure. [05:58] My connection got thrown under the bus I suppose [05:58] ryancr: i kinda want to get a solid state drive... max my battery out like 10+ hours, and just use an external hard drive / thumb drives for data. [05:58] Ose: hmm, did it load the module though? does it show up when u type: lsmod | grep snd [05:58] Ose: i think im a try it, they have an arch linux image! yay! [05:58] kd7swh: thats nice [05:59] MasterShrek: Yeah, it's there. Along with snd_ac97_codec and plenty of others. [05:59] Nubbie: yeah thats the idea i want to do for my home server, its a koolu box, but I may wait for the ssd prices to come down first [05:59] ryancr: also notice the seagate 1.8" 32GB model for $400 [05:59] does nvidia have sound drivers for nforce2 hardware i can install manually? [05:59] ryancr: a little small for my media. My media server (aka the closet beast) has a 1TB drive [05:59] ryan8403: it's IDE, but still. [05:59] Evanlec: I'm not sure if ArchLinux lets you resize partitions. The Fedora one doesn't - it depends on if ArchLinux' mini-image allows it or not. [06:00] how can i get that cube thing in beryl ? [06:00] well i was going to get dual 500gig usb external drives for storage [06:00] Ose: well it looks like the drivers are loaded correctly then, i think, someone correct me if im wrong, that ubuntu doesnt have alsaconf, which is what i always use to pick my sound card... [06:00] Ose: mm, well i guess onyl one way to find out [06:00] MasterShrek i think youre right [06:00] MasterShrek: I can just look for it online, that's no problem. Alsaconfig, that is. [06:01] Nubbie: that why i thought of the CF idea, cuz i only need like 4gigs for OS space, to bad the don't do a cheap 4gig ssd ;) [06:01] well the command is alsaconf [06:01] Evanlec: Yup! And if all else fails.. Do Ubuntu first, resize partitions and then switch to Arch. It's fairly easy - have fun! [06:01] ryancr: an expresscard one is cheaper. [06:01] ryancr: if I were you I'd spring for this baby http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820609245 [06:01] Ose: thx [06:01] what's /srv for?

[06:05] ryancr: yes, only it's PCIe [06:05] Ose: i would think tools, but i cant guarentee it, my distro came with it =P [06:05] talcite: it depends on the cipher [06:05] Nubbie: ah gotcha [06:05] ryancr: expresscard slots are both USB and PCI enabled. [06:06] kd7swh: RSA 2048 bit [06:06] ryancr: and are much smaller ;) [06:06] so... my minimize, close program, and maximize buttons disappeared in the top right of every window, and i cant move the window, its locked into place... how do i undo it? [06:06] thanks [06:06] talcite: that would take a while [06:06] fregger: alt+f2 type: metacity --replace [06:06] kd7swh: hmm... that's strange, it takes like 8 seconds... === ktogias_ is now known as ktogias [06:06] and it doesn't prompt me to wait or anything [06:06] MasterShrek : that will work in firefox browser right?i will just type it there? [06:06] talcite: what type of cpu do you have [06:06] Nubbie: but would there be any way to make this work internally? so sort of expressport -> ide adapter ? [06:06] talcite: i used to notice that when i was running ubuntu, it happend when i tried to connect [06:07] how can i see the workspaces in a cube? i have beryl activated and all but when i go ctrl+alt+left the box just switches around.. how can i see the whole cube ? [06:07] Kalamansi: maybe, you can just use nautilus though [06:07] i have seen videos how people can see the cube.. [06:07] Kalamansi: nautilus will allow read/write (if you have permissions) [06:07] kd7swh: e6300 [06:07] alt F2 isnt opening anything [06:07] ryancr: i dunno, look into that. i'm doubtful, but look into it yourself. [06:07] yeah doing some googling now [06:07] fregger: is the whole thing locked up? does this happen all the time? [06:07] Kalamansi: you cannot upload with firefox. [06:07] fregger, try clt-alt-f1 , do you get a text console? [06:08] Kalamansi: i said use the file browser. [06:08] fregger: F2 only works if metacity (or other window manager is running) [06:08] Nubbie: what kind of file broser? [06:08] kd7swh: i was not aware of that [06:08] browser* [06:08] kd7swh, no, that's a panel key [06:08] Evanlec: working on it now [06:08] Kalamansi: the one that comes installed with ubuntu. [06:08] Kalamansi: nautilus, your default file browser [06:08] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nspluginwrapper/+bug/141613 I'm trying to investigate this bug where Adobe's Flash crashes very easily. [06:08] Evanlec: Thanks again for all your help. This is the last piece of the puzzle. [06:08] nickrud: true my mistake [06:09] Which version of Ubuntu is this crash reported to happen? [06:09] talcite: thats a fast chip. would you like me to gen one and time it? [06:09] Can anyone tell me how to change the default directory that my downloader puts stuff? [06:09] Is that Ubuntu using a kernel with Ingo's CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler)? [06:09] MasterShrek i dont see nautilus here in Applications , Places nor System....

[06:12] i dunno, called the ops but nobody wants to ban him i guess [06:12] <_Casey_> the default wireless monitor and stuff is gone and stuff [06:12] anywhooooooo. what was i supposed to do? [06:12] kd7swh: thanks. Yeah it was ridiculously fast. Oh well. [06:12] MasterShrek: i dont see nautilus there in home tho..gftp look fine now. [06:12] I've set up an ftp server but when I log into it from another machine I don't see any files. Suggestions? [06:12] fregger, that was a test to see if your machine was frozen [06:12] anyone successfully set up a GPRS modem internet connection on ubuntu? [06:13] Kalamansi: nautilus in ubuntu = explorer in windows [06:13] <_Casey_> anyone? [06:13] rkj: where is the default directory? [06:13] _Casey_: right click the panel and add them [06:13] kd7swh: by the way, I have 2 login keys. both for the same server, but different users. I only get prompted for 1 key passphrase though [06:13] ok MasterShrek: [06:13] I don't know - not sure how to tell, found nothing in the config file to set it. [06:14] anyone? [06:14] kd7swh: it's the same client account, 2 diff accounts on the server [06:14] rkj: what server are you using? [06:14] <_Casey_> no like the services failed to install or something [06:14] alright... so how what do i do? [06:14] thyko: is it through ethernet? modem? [06:14] The config file is called vsftpd.conf [06:14] funky [06:14] fregger, are your borders still gon? [06:15] no... just locked === malakhi_ is now known as malakhi [06:15] <_Casey_> MasterShrek [06:15] rkj: i havent used vsftpd, but there should be an option, thats my guess is the default directory is empty, maybe its /home/ftp, but i dont know for sure [06:15] fregger, are you running compiz? [06:15] _Casey_: [06:15] yes [06:15] Is Ubuntu using upstream kernel's new CFS scheduler? [06:15] <_Casey_> Something happened and alot of stuff uninstalled i think, while i was updating to 7.10, and then it said it couldnt finish upgrading [06:15] _Casey_: u said your install didnt complete? [06:15] <_Casey_> Yes it failed. [06:15] fregger, and finally, are you typing in the gui right now? [06:15] _Casey_: that can cause many many problems [06:16] <_Casey_> I have no idea what to do. [06:16] nickrud: yes [06:16] fregger, do you see the panel? does it respond at all? [06:16] g [06:16] _Casey_: your best bet is to back up your files and do a clean install of 7.10 [06:16] I will give that a try [06:16] fregger, for example, the applications menu [06:16] as in the bar on top with "file", "tools", ect, that bar? if yes, then yes they do [06:17] <_Casey_> I have some really old ubuntu disk so i need a link to a new 7.10 [06:17] fregger, ok, press alt-f2 , you should get a run dialog box. If you don't see it, look in the window list [06:18] <_Casey_> In your opinion, whats the best distro of linux. [06:18] _Casey_: ubuntu.com [06:18] alright, i got the box this time [06:18] slackware! [06:18] =P [06:18] _Casey_, debian [06:18] fregger, ok, type metacity --replace [06:18] <_Casey_> what would be easier for a medium-experienced user. [06:18] fregger, in the box, of course :) [06:18] _Casey_: I wouldnt mind using Gentoo [06:18] nickrud: your a god [06:18] hello, i would like to set up static ip address to my router, where i can change my network configuration like TCP/IP protocol on windows xp ? [06:19] * nickrud thinks gods outrank masters ;) [06:19] <_Casey_> shay this is a ubuntu channel [06:19] indeed it is [06:19] <_Casey_> i just want something with my wireless drivers already installed and stuff [06:19] .. [06:19] MasterShrek : how to copy and paste all the upgrades and updates that ive installed in pc1?copy and paste to pc2 ubuntu. time consuming if you download again the updates and upgrades in pc2.... [06:19] nickrud: thanks a lot man. kudos [06:19] fregger, yw [06:19] _Casey_: i mean for ubuntu. i am now using ubuntu , but where i can set up my network settings ? [06:20] * fregger waves "adios" [06:20] wait, one more question [06:20] shay_: in System > Administration > Network [06:20] Kalamansi: im not exactly sure, i woudl check in /var/cache/apt or wherever the packages are stored, and just copy them over and install/upgrade them, youll have to ask an ubuntu user the exact directory where those cached packages are [06:20] hey guys, I'm having quite a problem with ssh [06:21] every time i log back into ubuntu. my screensaver is back to the default one. and i have to go back to the internet and redownload the one i like [06:21] Hi, can someone help me? [06:21] Got Ubuntu here. [06:21] MasterShrek: where to ask? what channel? [06:21] Trying to set up networking. [06:21] Kalamansi, /var/cache/apt/archives , but the archive is limited to 500 meg, you probably will have to download a lot [06:21] To a group of Windows computers. [06:21] talcite: What's the problem? [06:21] anyone know where apt stores it's cached pacakges? [06:21] Ubuntu can access the Windows computers. [06:21] !samba | zzap [06:21] zzap: 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 [06:21] shay_: after that you will probably go into a terminal and running 'sudo ifdown ' and then 'sudo ifup [06:21] nickrud : and put it in pc2 same directory? [06:22] But none of the Windows computers can see Ubuntu. [06:22] Kalamansi, yes [06:22] *You will probably NEED to [06:22] zzap: in what way do you mean? [06:22] Kalamansi, apt will see them no problem after you copy them into that directory [06:22] nickrud : oh not again...download again the updates? one by one? pc by pc? huhuhuh [06:22] zzap: in /etc/samba/smb.conf change it to security=share, or just manually connect from the windows machines by ip, or hostname [06:22] MoreAllLess: I have two users on my server, and one user on my client. The problem is that I use key logins, and for both users on the server, it prompts me for the same rsa keyphrase! [06:22] Icarus: i looked at the network tab , but i cant find where is the : Subnet mask , and IP Address ? [06:22] MasterShrek: I tried connecting via IP. [06:22] Kalamansi, well, about 500meg less than needed :) [06:22] And it doesn't work. [06:22] Like, the Windows PCs can't connect to it at all. [06:23] hmm, same workgroup? even tho i dont think that matters [06:23] how to open this /var/cache/apt/archives ? im using x window ubuntu 7.10 desktop [06:23] But Ubuntu can see and connect to the Windows. [06:23] Yep, same workgroup. [06:23] shay_: what else do you need? dns and such? [06:23] Kalamansi, click the desktop, and type in /var/cache/apt/archives [06:23] Icarus: yes [06:23] MoreAllLess: I have separate keys for each user on the server... but it just prompts me for one key every time... [06:23] Hi. I have a core 2 duo laptop. Should i install x86 or AMD64 version? [06:23] If one more person asks me to install windows I am going to shoot myself in the foot [06:24] I guess I'll try Samba again. :/ [06:24] zzap: have you restarted the windows machines since implementing the linux server? [06:24] Kalamansi, I mean, click the desktop then type ctl - l , then the location [06:24] MasterShrek: No, should I try that? [06:24] shay_: in System > Administration > Network there should be tabs at the top-ish of the window one of them is dns [06:24] ubuntino_: up to you, both should run fine, but the 64 bit might be a little buggy with flash and java in firefox [06:24] talcite: Sorry, I am not familiar with using keys and SSH. Perhaps someone else here may be able to help. [06:24] zzap: windows machines always need a reboot =P worth a shot [06:24] Alright. [06:24] kd7swh, windows is worth installing you should try it [06:24] MoreAllLess: thanks for the key anyways =D [06:25] Icarus: and where i can set up the subnet mask ? [06:25] I'll be back in a bit with more complaining if it doesn't work. [06:25] nickrud : cool. ive seen them. just copy it from pc1 (with updates/upgrades) and put the same folder in pc2? [06:25] MasterShrek: You were right, the folder is /home/ftp. Now if I can figure out how to write to it without using sudo ... [06:25] zzap: do you have another linux machine around, and can it talk to that server? [06:25] Kalamansi, yes. You'll need admin privileges to copy into the second pc, I'm assuming you're putting them on a cd? [06:25] shay_: in the connections tab, click on your device, and click properties [06:25] so erm.... desktop changes everytime i log back in. reverts back to default... solution? [06:25] how do i track down a hacker in my system... he is leaving security logs all over the place [06:25] MasterShrek: No, only Windows machines currently. [06:25] how do i track down a hacker in my system... he is leaving security logs all over the place [06:25] Setting this up as a fileserver. [06:25] rkj: make the group have write access and add users that you want to be able to write to it to that group [06:26] Nubbie: well the best I can find is a usb - > expresscard adaptor [06:26] fregger, I don't have a clue how to fix that, it just suddenly started working for me one day [06:26] it happened to you too? [06:26] How do I do that? [06:26] MasterShrek. Actually, i have ubuntu amd64 installed. Java and firefox work fine ( a bit slow - my dsl connection is slow ) I was trying kubuntu (live) and it seemed much faster. [06:26] nickrud : yes cd or network to network? [06:26] nicrud: been there done that, its other peoples computers I am working on now, three xp installs in two days... I am done! [06:27] fregger, yes, I'd just do the alt-f2 compiz --replace dance [06:27] alright, i will save it in a common directory (wallpaper). so lets hope it fixes itself. [06:27] | emote | dance [06:27] ubuntino_: go for the x86_64 version [06:28] honestly type in "compiz --replace dance"? [06:28] Kalamansi, network to network I have no suggestions (I do little networking) but if you use a cd, do cd /var/cache/apt/archives && sudo cp * /path/to/cdfiles [06:28] I want to start making GUIs is GTK hard? What should I start with? [06:28] fregger: just: compiz --replace [06:28] MasterShrek: modem, PCMCIA [06:28] kd7swh, glade [06:28] MasterShrek: ok, thanks. Is it my impression or kubuntu is better tweaked than ubuntu? [06:28] glade it is [06:28] fregger: he does the 'alt-f2 compiz --replace' dance :P [06:28] ubuntino_: its just kde instead of gnome, nothing under the hood is really different [06:28] fregger, lol, [06:28] ubuntino_: it cetainly looks better ;) [06:29] * MasterShrek agrees === Icarus is now known as DarkW === DarkW is now known as DarkW0lf [06:29] cursed ) [06:29] thyko: got that right ;) [06:29] cursed cursed bracket [06:29] my pc is geting hacked. this guy is leaving security logs all over the place. can i get his ip? [06:29] i'm retarded and i think i missed somthing XD [06:29] <_Casey_> agh how do i know which version of debian to download [06:29] rete5tysdfg_: netstat ? [06:29] _Casey_, stable [06:30] <_Casey_> nono [06:30] slackware ftw! [06:30] <_Casey_> like amd64 or what [06:30] MasterShrek: what [06:30] _Casey_: what kind processor do you have? === |ajmorris_| is now known as ajmorris_ [06:30] <_Casey_> intel chip, pentium 4 [06:30] im not getting a picture there.. nickrud.. you mean in pc i will type in terminal? [06:30] i heard that ubuntu 8.04 will be smaller ,what do you think [06:30] rete5tysdfg_: use netstat from a terminal, it shows current connections, i dont know how youll be able to tell which is him, but its a good start [06:31] Kalamansi, yes, that gets typed in a terminal [06:31] nickrud : okay thanks il ltry that now [06:31] _Casey_: just the x86, or i386, whatever they call it [06:31] thank you he is fucking up as i type [06:31] MasterShrek: right. any ideas on the gprs thing? [06:31] the smd is going nuts [06:31] no idea thyko, sorry [06:31] cmd [06:31] nickrud : -desktop:~$ sudo cd /var/cache/apt/archives && sudo cp * /path/to/cdfiles [06:31] [sudo] password for lan: [06:31] sudo: cd: command not found [06:31] lan@lan-desktop:~$ [06:31] <_Casey_> Ok well seriously whats better, slackware or debian, it needs to auto-detect my wireless card ;x [06:32] me? [06:32] Kalamansi, I didn't include sudo with the cd command [06:32] _Casey_: what kind of card is it? i doubt either will [06:32] <_Casey_> ubuntu did [06:32] this my problem [06:32] <_Casey_> its the iwp3945 [06:32] cpufrequtils 002: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2006 [06:32] Report errors and bugs to linux@brodo.de, please.

I've pretty much told you everything I know [06:40] when I go about:plugins [06:40] mastershrek: thanks! [06:40] * MasterShrek despises compiz [06:40] I don't see flash at all its allmost like firefox can't find it [06:40] why is that mastershrek? [06:40] XP took about a minute and a half to load :? [06:40] *:/ [06:40] I do like expose, and emerald themes [06:41] mastershrek: the versions that are availble are only 64 bit, and i'm runnin 32 bit [06:41] If I had those in metacity, I would be happy (and have suspend) [06:41] fregger: ive had nothing but problems with it, and i cannot stand having to reboot my xserver because my window manager is being stupid [06:41] nickrud: as do I. I also like awm, though that is not part of compiz heh. [06:41] does anyone know what chipset the dwl-g630 uses? [06:41] MasterShrek: what kind of video card do you have? [06:41] alright, well... not much else to do other then see if it works. thanks guys [06:41] ah, i see mastershrek. to each of his own i guess [06:41] hotmonkeyluv: umm, isnt there a -dev pacakge of whatever libncurses package you have? [06:41] docgnome, it takes way too much screen real estate on my laptop. Is it scaleable? (didn't really spend much time on it) [06:42] docgnome: gefore go 6150 [06:42] login took about 30 seconds, and shutdown took about 20 seconds.... [06:42] nickrud: yeah. [06:42] docgnome: it runs fine, but it jsut always messes up, upgraded it once when i was running ubuntu, and it never worked right after that [06:42] mastershrek: d'oh, forgot to scroll down, silly me [06:42] * hotmonkeyluv feels n00bish [06:42] =P [06:42] * MasterShrek too [06:42] MasterShrek: When I try to sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart it comes up something like, "This dir does not exist." [06:43] speaking of flash, i can't view flv view movies,not in vlc or mplayer, got w32...i believe in /usr/lib [06:43] MasterShrek: really. huh. I've had problems with it, but none since I switched from an ATI to an nVidia card. [06:43] zzap: do you have the samba server installed? [06:43] !find samba [06:43] Found: dpsyco-samba, egroupware-sambaadmin, gsambad, system-config-samba, xffm4-samba (and 6 others) [06:43] MasterShrek: ah. I've had nothing but troubles with dist-upgrade. [06:43] docgnome, care to give me a pointer :) [06:43] MasterShrek: it always ends up breaking something [06:43] i have the same vid. card. integrated tho. geforce 6150... slim tower. anyway i can upgrade with a skinnier vid card thats actually worth the price and good. in the 8xxx series of geforce type of good? then again i guess that isnt ubuntu related [06:43] MasterShrek: which promptly refuses to work ever again. [06:44] MasterShrek: Yes, it should be intalled. [06:44] nickrud: to? [06:44] docgnome: yea i always break things too, but i cant stand restarting my xserver for somehting like my window manager which should just work [06:44] docgnome, scaling down awn [06:44] MasterShrek: But if I didn't, would that result in all the symptoms I've got? [06:44] Does ubuntu uses the intel flash "turbo memory"? [06:44] zzap: i dont know for sure, but there should be soemthing in /etc/init.d for samba [06:44] docgnome, unless I misunderstood that laconic 'yeah' [06:45] docgnome: did you remember to rename your repo links in the sources list to point to the newer ubuntu before trying the upgrade [06:45] MasterShrek: Urgh. This is so annoying. It connects to the Windows' fine. [06:46] mastershrek: how long should it take to set up the libncurses5-dev? [06:46] Hi, all. Is there anybody touched Telephony? [06:46] MasterShrek: Yeah. My current biggest pet peeve about Ubuntu is that I have to spend an hour or two getting my sound blaster to work. I mean for crying out loud sound blaster has been around since the dawn of computing and I have to _fight_ with Ubuntu to make it work? [06:46] srdgame: you mean VOIP? [06:46] zzap: isnt there a samba file in /etc/init.d ? [06:46] hotmonkeyluv: not very long i dont think [06:46] nickrud: huh. I thought it was in preferences. maybe I'm just crazy [06:46] to MoreAllLess: Yes. [06:46] mastershrek: ok [06:46] didn't see it and I looked. But I can be blind [06:47] srdgame: I've played around quite some bit. Perhaps I can help. [06:47] MasterShrek: Obviously not, otherwise it wouldn't be giving me that message when I try to restart. [06:47] Zenerek: Yeah. Upgrades always end up breaking something or other for me. Usually X, but sometimes it's other things. [06:47] srdgame: What are you looking to do? [06:47] zzap: sudo apt-get install samba [06:47] Zenerek: then again I haven't tried one from feisty or whatever the previous distro was. [06:48] MasterShrek: You've already told me to do that, and I have. === hotmonkeyluv is now known as fork_while_fork [06:48] zzap: argh, gimme a minute, sorry im not using ubuntu, i dont know the names of all the packages anymore i guess === fork_while_fork is now known as fork [06:48] to MoreAllLess: Could you tell me where I can learn it? I am quiet a newbie about telephony. [06:48] oops lol [06:49] to MoreAllLess: my boss asked me to do some research about telephony stuff.

I may be able to point you in the right direction. [06:50] nickrud: he says it is... [06:50] srdgame: Although, I am not sure if this is the right channel to be discussing VOIP. [06:50] MasterShrek, apt-cache policy samba tells all [06:50] MasterShrek: I was hoping not to go there... oh well :D [06:51] to MoreAllLess: Do you know the channel for telephony? [06:51] zzap, apt-cache policy samba , does that say it's installed? If not, does it say it has a candidate?

[07:14] hi, can anybody help me? i have this problem: few of my folders on my external usb hdd had changed to files (unknown file types) and now i cant access the content of it, THANKS! [07:15] what is the command to install the flash plugin? [07:15] zzap, ok, samba should be running. [07:15] kd7swh: would you happen to know, that when creating the bridge how do you specify a 'default gateway' oh a dynamic ip? [07:15] zzap, setting up samba takes someone who knows networking, which most definitely is not me [07:15] kd7swh: that suppose to be "of a dynamic ip" [07:15] well i should add that it's fat32 file system (on external hdd), other folders looks ok, please help! [07:15] the folder is now shown as single file ("unknown file type") with the same name. [07:15] thanks again! [07:16] hotmonkeyluv, there's nothing there, try tail -200 /var/log/messages , paste that [07:16] nickrud, All I want to do is get my Windows machines to be able to talk to this Ubuntu machine! [07:16] I wouldn't've thought it've been so hard. :/ [07:16] Hey, I'm trying to prepare a kubuntu boot-USB-disk and have some stupid problem. I'm following this guide [07:16] WGGMk, I am thinking ... the IP choice is stored in a .conf file somewhere ... I can't remember which one give me a sec (doing a search) [07:16] https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/installation-guide/i386/boot-usb-files.html [07:17] I'm doing it by zcat > boot.img.gz > /dev/sdf1 [07:17] The USB drive is 2GB and formatted to fat16 [07:17] zzap, I'll let you in on a secret: I use this laptop at work, but when I need to network with the other machines, I use vista in vmware ;( [07:17] As soon as I copy stuff with zcat , it strangely becomes 16MB and I can't fit the .iso on it ! [07:17] I am a networking imbecile [07:18] nickrud: http://pastebin.ca/821652 [07:18] nickrud, I thought Ubuntu would be a good OS to use for this PC to be a fileserver. Do you think otherwise? [07:18] Anyone ? [07:18] search in the forums isn't working.... [07:18] b0rsuk: make sure you are installing to the right partition on the usb stick [07:19] zzap, plenty of people do, it's not something that I really wanted to do, so never learned it. If I did, I'd go to #samba and ask for advice there [07:19] It has only 1 partition , /dev/sdf1 . [07:19] Oh, they have their own channel? [07:19] Before doing zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sdf1 , the partition is 2.0GB big [07:19] after doing zcat, it magically becomes 16MB [07:19] zzap: what is your issue? [07:20] I did it this way with Debian before, and it worked. And I'm following a guide from help.ubuntu.com so there's no excuse for this to not work. [07:20] b0rsuk: dunno then, sorry [07:20] bleh [07:20] becuase bug 43154 my system crashes :(, now Via came up with new driver. can anyone help me install & configure the new driver? [07:20] b0rsuk: do you have a CruZer stick? [07:21] Thanks anyway. [07:21] !bug #43154 [07:21] WGGMk, none of the Windows PCs on the network can see or connect to an Ubuntu PC. [07:21] I have no idea what kind of stick it is, I borrowed it from a friend. [07:21] But Ubuntu can connect to all the Windows ones. [07:21] b0rsuk: look at the stick [07:21] WGGMk : Kingston [07:21] zzap: are ALL of the windows PC's in the same workgroup? [07:21] Kingston != CruZer [07:22] WGGMk, Yes, they're all in the MSHOME workgroup and they all work fine with each other. [07:22] WGGMk, look at your /etc/network/interfaces that should show static or dynamic status [07:22] brophat: if you're still having problems with flash being installed but not recognized by Firefox, it's a known bug; try this thread --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=643641 [07:22] b0rsuk: yea, ScanDisk makes them. I thought that maybe it had security on it like the CruZer [07:22] zzap: pastebin your config [07:23] WGGMk : And the moral of the story is ... ? [07:23] hotmonkeyluv, that is very odd that you would have symbol versioning errors with a native ubuntu kernel. I'd start with sudo aptitude reinstall linux-image-$(uname -r) linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r) [07:23] ironmonkey is secure [07:23] is there a reason why bootsplash isnt working [07:23] WGGMk, What config? And where is it located? [07:23] anymore can help-me? [07:23] nickrud: that sounds drastic [07:23] what's it do? [07:23] slinky- : it depends . [07:23] hotmonkeyluv, then reboot, making sure I chose the kernel that uname -r shows. It simply reinstalls your kernel [07:23] bufaux.c:57:24: error: openssl/bn.h: Arquivo ou diretório inexistente [07:23] In file included from bufaux.c:61: [07:23] why this? [07:24] why is google toolbar's bookmarks not working? (it just says downloading) [07:24] b0rsuk: honestly dude if you are looking for help. you could start chillin out. The moral of the story is that CruZer disk's have a security on their filing system that doesnt allow certain things.. details im not sure of. but it shouldnt effect you in your case [07:24] nickrud: I just got this kernel today [07:24] zzap: /etc/samba/samba.conf [07:24] Is Kingston the same as CruZer ? [07:24] hotmonkeyluv, where from? [07:24] nickrud: ubuntu.com [07:24] nickrud: installed it just 2 hours ago [07:25] b0rsuk: no its not, thats why I just wanted to knwo what type of disk it was [07:25] bufaux.c:57:24: error: openssl/bn.h: Arquivo ou diretório inexistente [07:25] In file included from bufaux.c:61: [07:25] why this? [07:25] hotmonkeyluv, could be you had a corrupted install. [07:25] suppose so... [07:25] WGGMk, There's no samba.conf -- do you mean smb.conf? [07:25] zzap: yea sorry.. mixed up [07:25] hotmonkeyluv, boot your install disk, run the disk check on it [07:25] zzap: use pastebin thoguh [07:26] k [07:26] nickrud: how long does the kernel replace take? [07:26] hotmonkeyluv, at 2mbs , maybe 10 minutes [07:26] kd7swh: i checked /etc/network/interfaces but it doesnt show me what "sudo route" shows.. the default gateway of my external interface [07:26] crap [07:26] hotmonkeyluv, a little more maybe, but not much [07:27] hotmonkeyluv, if that's an issue, maybe waiting for someone more knowledgeable about the kernel would be wise. [07:27] WGGMk, /etc/network/interfaces shows you the settings of the computer itself. I don't know your network layout so I don't know what route shows [07:28] WGGMk : So let's assume the stick doesn't allow certain things. It is possible because earlier it didn't boot when I used another method . Could I brute-force just install Kubuntu on it ? Would that work ? I need to boot kubuntu NOT from cd, because I need to copy 1xcd + 1xDVD to my Debian partition. For some reason Asus P5K SE motherboards have big problems detecting CDROm in linux. [07:28] nickrud: no, it's just that i'm only at 130KB/sec [07:28] is there going to be a fix for speed stepping in gutsy? [07:28] RomeReactor thanks that solved it [07:28] tons of problems [07:28] hotmonkeyluv, that's 1.3mbs :) [07:28] b0rsuk: you could try formatting the disk under Ubuntu with gparted [07:28] brophat: you're welcome. [07:28] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/132271 [07:28] nickrud: wha...? [07:28] y0y0.. morning all.. [07:28] hotmonkeyluv, mega bytes your number, mega bits my number [07:29] * hotmonkeyluv is lost [07:29] kd7swh: hmm lemme try and reword it.. if you have a external interface gettings it IP from the ISP by DHCP. will the default gateway change dynamically like the IP? [07:29] * hotmonkeyluv failed math......4 times [07:29] Hmm. [07:29] hotmonkeyluv: 8 bits = 1 byte [07:29] Thanks anyway. [07:29] hotmonkeyluv, when you download with apt-get , what does it say? 130kbs ? [07:29] Hence, div 8 [07:29] yeah, 120-140 [07:29] Um, how would someone know if a network card was ubuntu compatible...? [07:30] WGGMk, no it should not [07:30] WGGMk, http://pastebin.com/m30076eea [07:30] hotmonkeyluv, yeah, thats kilo bytes per second, multiply by 10 (to roughly cover error checking) and that gives you the megabits per second [07:30] hotmonkeyluv, less than 20 minutes, for sure [07:30] ok [07:30] i'll try it then [07:30] dlk, i am having stepping problems too no fix that i know of [07:30] b0rsuk there is also a cd img out there that has gparted, it's a cd too well partition and prepare [07:31] kd7swh: so figurativly speaking if my IP (from ISP/DHCP) was 172.1.2.3 and my default gw was 172.1.2.5 it would always be the same even when my IP changes? [07:31] * hotmonkeyluv crosses his fingers, puts his head between his knees and kisses his butt goodbye (kernel tinkering is dangerous) [07:31] a lot of people are having problems with it kd7 [07:32] they removed something with gutsy [07:32] WGGMk, in theory. the only way I could see it changing is if the ISP used DDNS for their gateway [07:32] and you need to patch and build a custom kernel [07:32] which is completley unacceptable [07:32] kd7swh: is that usual? i would hardly think not right [07:32] hotmonkeyluv, that's why we are using ubuntu tools to handle the kernel, all the hard thinking was done for us :) === netdemon is now known as NeT_DeMoN [07:33] WGGMk, no it would be odd [07:33] "Intel® Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-Card" <-- is this ubuntu compatible? [07:33] zzap: remove the " semi colon / ';' " from this like "# WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable its WINS Server ;   wins support = no" [07:33] bufaux.c:57:24: error: openssl/bn.h: Arquivo ou diretório inexistente [07:33] why this? [07:33] zzpa: "; wins support = no" SHOULD BE "wins support = yes" [07:33] WGGMk, if the gateway was dynamic then clients couldn't connect to the ISP (I figure) [07:34] what is the "ALT+CTRL+F4" command? [07:34] nickrud: phew! [07:34] kd7swh: makes sense. when you create a brdige, add the interfaces, and set the default gw. how to you make it automatically save that config?? [07:34] WGGMk, Ok, I did that. Now what? [07:34] zzap: you'll have to "sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart" as well [07:34] hotmonkeyluv, it was in your cache :) [07:34] Anyone here still uses Dapper? [07:34] zzap: on the file serving machine of course [07:34] nickrud: wow, it's done already [07:35] WGGMk, you could create a startup script [07:35] nickrud: cache? [07:35] WGGMk, Ok, I've done that. [07:35] kd7swh: in rc.local? is that the only way? [07:35] hotmonkeyluv, now reboot, and try that howto again. /var/cache/apt/archives , where ubuntu caches downloaded packages [07:35] a flash question... can i use FF extension in Epiphany? [07:35] zzap: did it work? if NOT then are you behind a firewall or router? [07:36] WGGMk, no, but its easy [07:36] Is ubuntuforums down? [07:36] zzap: knowning microsoft you'll prolly have to restart the Windows machines as well [07:36] nickrud: and it should be the same boot kernel as before, right?

[07:45] spoonwhilespoon, then you need a kernel guru. I'd search bugs.ubuntu.com for the contents of line 24 in that paste you made (after the ] ) and if I didn't find it, I'd file a bug against the kernel [07:45] nickrud: would you know if the intel hda7 AC'97 ihc861 is classified under modprobe as intel8x0 or 8x0m?

Any idea how to fix this problem (like finding it somewhere else and installing?) [07:50] WGGMk, What about password encryption? Should that be commented or uncommented? [07:50] zzap: wait acctually you can just create the user in samaba [07:50] WGGMk, there's currently only one user called 'media' [07:50] zzap: thats entirly up to you.. depends what your serving.. reading the man pages will be able to determine these things for you [07:50] I can't find libdvdplay0 in apt-get?

[08:02] WGGMk: thanks [08:02] that's why it's best to learn stuff for yourself [08:02] ericvw: you need libdvd something like libdvdcs2 or something [08:02] ericvw : can't you just apt-get install libdvdcss2 ? [08:03] ericvw: or, if you need debhelper and fakeroot: sudo apt-get install debhelper fakeroot [08:03] t-Omicr0n: if you've enabled the correct unsupported repository, yes ... [08:03] ericvw: there's a help.ubuntu page on it.. because you need to be able to decrypt the DVD to watch the video its considered "illegal" hence not being available by default in Ubuntu free software policy [08:03] hi, how do i configure Deskbar Applet so it looks like this? I can't see the View option under preferences.

[08:08] zzap: umm Servers i think.. something like "Samaba Windows File sharing" [08:08] ericvw: Can you click "Applications" in the menu and then "Install/remove software..." ?

[08:14] hi I want to add the icon from mplayer to smplayer. Can you tell me where is the mplayer icon ? [08:14] bazhang: can i log into root? [08:14] NeT_DeMoN: no need to do so [08:14] Kalamansi: for traffic shaping you want to look into iptables, but you'll probably want a graphical user interface configuration tool ... (anyone know any ..?) [08:14] NeT_DeMoN: safer if you dont [08:15] bazhang: but like when i download stuff off a site, it says log into root to install it [08:15] t-Omicr0n: I think I just got it working; I had to download libdvdcss2 and install manually; going to test it right now [08:15] firestarter is a iptables frontend Kalamansi [08:15] t-Omicr0n: Thanks for your help [08:15] NeT_DeMoN: what stuff [08:15] hello all [08:16] bazhang: adehoog: my workstations or atleast some of them wasting our bandwidth.they always visit youtube or other streaming that could slow down our internet..how to block them or block the website?and also assign bandwidth [08:16] bazhang: like that one messenger thats supposed to have all the stuff yahoo messenger has [08:16] NeT_DeMoN you have never logged into root?

[08:16] ericvw: I think that's correct - hope it works, glad to help [08:17] NeT_DeMoN: what messenger is that? [08:17] Kalamansi: If you're looking at traffic filtering ... squid (a caching proxy server, which can also help to save total bandwidth) is also capable of filtering traffic by URI, and iptables rules can limit particular hosts/ports too [08:17] adehoog: bazhang: i have firestarter. how about traffic shaping?what kind of apps to sudo apt-get install? [08:17] hobojohn3: only if you give us more information ... [08:17] Kalamansi: Oh I see, let me check [08:17] dadehoog what do you need? [08:17] bazhang: i cant remember, it started with a "G" [08:17] Kalamansi: before you install anything ... starting reading and googling - have a look at the Ubuntu Server stuff [08:17] bazhang: its on my google results, let me pull it up [08:18] hobojohn3: what's the error? How do you cause it ? Anything in the logfiles ? [08:18] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-26055.html Kalamansi something like this? [08:18] NeT_DeMoN: gaim?

[08:20] bazhang: i have pidgin [08:21] bazhang: but it doesnt have like the yahoo games and stuff [08:21] NeT_DeMoN: in Ubuntu you install stuff in the repos mostly--not like in windows [08:21] Kalamansi: you do need a script, but firestarter will help you to write it (behind the scenes) [08:21] bazhang: ok, thaks [08:21] thanks^^^ [08:21] Any distcc wizard floating around? I have two machines running ubuntu 7.10. One is a P4 and the other is a X2 64 bit machine, but running 32-bit Ubuntu.

[08:23] where there you go thus i had to compile from source and i'm using it right now [08:23] meant well [08:23] good news [08:23] bazhang: what is a bach command?

I cant use apport-retrace as i complains on "gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found" [08:24] NeT_DeMoN: that would be a bash command--the stuff you enter in the terminal [08:24] dadehoog k its open now what? [08:24] hobojohn3: then highlight "syslog" on the left [08:24] dadehoog: bazhang: im not familiar with the script and i dont know how to apply it...

[08:25] dadehoog: firestarter is running tho [08:25] NeT_DeMoN: do stuff in the command line (terminal) [08:25] hobojohn3: hopefully, more information about the error will be displayed in the System Log [08:25] wo 3 new things [08:26] hobojohn3: and we can diagnose it from there ... ok, what were they ?

[08:28] MasterShrek: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash [08:28] thats not a default ubuntu repo [08:28] NeT_DeMoN: format /c and install ubuntu :} [08:29] dadehoog: like remote crash it because i cant reboot it [08:29] NeT_DeMoN: a local "crash" is much easier ... [08:29] MasterShrek: true, this is for -dbgsym packages [08:29] haha [08:29] bazhang: it wont let me flash it [08:29] NeT_DeMoN: unplug it from the wall, and plug it back in again. [08:29] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48633/ [08:29] dadehoog: i tried [08:29] thats all the changes i have [08:29] but I can't use apport-retrace because of "gpg: Signature made Thu 04 Oct 2007 08:30:09 PM CEST using DSA key ID 0A0AC927 [08:29] gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found" [08:29] dadehoog: its uber infested with viruses [08:29] NeT_DeMoN: put in the ubuntu cd, start up from the cd, and then click install --use whole disk :} [08:30] motin_0_: what command gives you that error? [08:30] MasterShrek: apport-retrace -o retrace.crash -v /var/crash/_usr_lib_cgi-bin_php5.2009.crash -R -u 2>&1 | tee retrace.log [08:30] bazhang: i did but like the computer said it wasnt recognizable but its the same disc i used for this computer [08:30] rkj: I got it working too from mediubuntu [08:30] rkj: thanks!

[08:32] hobojohn3: hmm ... just having a look around ... not sure exactly what's causing it ... [08:32] zoexii, sounds like you removed "notification area" [08:32] dadehoog could it be that its not fat? [08:32] or is that the only kind that works both in windowz and ubuntu [08:32] MasterShrek: sure. that works, picking only the packages of which gpg is complaining on [08:33] astro76, ok, just added, I only see icon for pidgin [08:33] motin_0_: 7.10? === ULTRADJ83 is now known as ULTRADJ83_ [08:33] MasterShrek: yup [08:33] zoexii, that's where network manager will show up... not sure how to get it to do so now === ULTRADJ83_ is now known as ULTRADJ83 [08:34] astro76, ok, ran nm-applet, now it appears [08:34] hrm, thats quite odd that you are getting a gpg error, you are sure you dont have any other repositories enabled that arent regular ubuntu ones? [08:34] i wanna know how to write a bandwidth rape pyphon script not for harmful use just cause my mate bet me a tenner i couldnt can anyone help me plz [08:34] hobojohn3: that could be part of it ... it's formatted with NTFS is it ? [08:34] zoexii, excellent ;) [08:34] astro76, thanks. [08:34] yusuo: not the place to be talking about that or that [08:34] dadehoog idk but it did work with both ubuntu and windows and in theory it works with mac [08:35] hobojohn3: because Linux can only (safely) READ NTFS, it can't (safely) WRITE it ... have you written files to it with Ubuntu ? [08:35] hobojohn3: what "stopped" it working with ubuntu ? any ideas ? [08:35] dadehoog: actually writing ntfs is very stable these days [08:35] dadehoog: NTFS writing has been stable for about a year now [08:35] didnt think so i was just askin its for educational purposes mainly not bad things [08:36] yusuo, off-topic mostly, try #python [08:36] MasterShrek: really ? shows how in touch I am :P [08:36] !ntfs-3g | dadehoog [08:36] dadehoog: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [08:36] I don't find the need to write to NTFS all that much :) [08:36] i dont think i have written anything to it it quit working when my laptop went into standby but since then i can unplug it i can turn it off all that and it spins up looks like its gona work then it goes into standby [08:36] the drive goes into standby [08:36] me either, but its available, so why not use it [08:37] hobojohn3: right ... (i hate to ask this question, but ...) have you rebooted Ubuntu since the laptop went into standby (I'm assuming you mean hibernate - the full shutdown, not just suspend to RAM ?) ? [08:37] bazhang: when eer i enabled the multipal desktop backgrounds last night all the suden every once in awhile when i log in all my windows borders are gone, do you know how to fix that??

I need to see the output that comes AFTER that line [08:42] kenboo: try holding ALT and then drag the window until the buttons are visible [08:42] oh ic. thanks!

[08:45] is now a good time to upgrade my computer? [08:45] I will adjust after first boot. [08:45] to a new ubuntu [08:45] kenboo: have you enabled restricted drivers? [08:45] that could be the issue [08:46] if I remember I think I am running my res at 1920X1440 [08:46] oh... and kenboo: which version are you trying to install? [08:46] hobojohn3: a lot of wireless related errors ... another story though ... [08:46] sunobaga: are you getting any errors?

[08:50] its powered by a plug going to the wall so i dont think that owuld even matter [08:50] anyone here using FGLRX 7.11 with dual heads and compiz running [08:50] darkw0lf: what was that for?

[09:17] MasterShrek: well AVG requires me to download stuff and install it.. which i dont like [09:17] NeT_DeMoN: nope :D [09:17] nope... [09:19] harm: ok, to my favorites then [09:19] dadehoog, indeed. I think I will celebrate this success with a hamburger. Tata friends === eckesicle is now known as ecke|away [09:19] harm: hold on and i will get it for you [09:19] dadehoog nada [09:19] MasterShrek: its the idea of an online virus scanner which is compatible with linux anyway :D [09:19] hobojohn3: by "nada" you mean no icon, or still broken ? [09:19] NeT_DeMoN: np.. let me put on some music [09:19] what's dmesg say ? [09:19] do you mean antivir because that is not easy to install, i had to use three different solotions from three places to get it to work [09:19] harm: linux doesnt need virus protection [09:19] Is there a SIMPLE way to completely hide a folder/access it again? [09:19] icons back but still broken when i shut my comp off the drive stayed on it didnt power down at all til i unplugged it [09:19] NeT_DeMoN: thanks iam aware of this but my windows partition does [09:19] hobojohn3: ok, what's in dmesg ..? that's going to have any clues to the problem ... [09:20] yeah well some of us are tad more parnoid...that and we donwload thing will go to our windows comps [09:20] timandtom: rm -rf ?

[09:21] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48645/ [09:21] hey that's cool i did not say to install, your choice, i was talking about how tough is was to install it [09:21] harm: if you don't understand, ask questions - don't suggest that someone delete the contents of their system (and any mounted drives) [09:21] harm: Like, in Windows, you can right click a folder, go to properties, and set it as hidden. Whats the linux equivalent? And then how do I open it when hidden [09:21] http://mrpo.myminicity.com/ [09:21] http://mrpo.myminicity.com/ [09:21] http://mrpo.myminicity.com/ [09:21] anyone mess around with creating DVD from mpeg2 and mpeg4 files....I have a bunch of pseudo high-quality family movies originally created imovie and want to author them into chapters and such and burn to DVD....

[09:23] timandtom: well i type in where i want to go.. but the other way of doing that is by pressing CTRL+H which toggles SHOW HIDDEN folder on and off [09:23] timandtom: to access it you can simply go to where it is type ctrl+l (in nautilus) and type its name including the dot [09:23] ifireball: what IS nautilus? [09:23] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48647/ [09:24] harm: Ah, ok. Is there a way to NOT have it show up at the press of a button? [09:24] timandtom: nautilis is just the looking around the computer program [09:24] timandtom: with all the folders [09:24] timandtom: the Gnome file manager [09:24] timandtom: well what are we trying to hide here source code or porn? [09:24] harm and ifireball: Ah, ok. New to linux, haha. [09:24] Hey guys I was messing around with trying to resize my linux ext3 partition, it messed up grub (i dual boot ubuntu + win xp) and made grubh pop up an error, I used a live cd to mount the drive and fix the config i basically ran grub-install again, and that made the grub menu pop up on boot and made win xp bootable but the linux partition now says Error: 17 cannot mount selected partition i believe this is because the partition letters have changed / was [09:24] Hi - I'd like to be able to print websites into a pdf file from within firefox in ubuntu - is this possible? [09:24] hobojohn3: ok, try another USB port (if they're in banks of two, try a different bank this time) and please could you show me the output from dmesg again ? [09:24] timandtom: you can chmod it so only root can gain access/entry to the folder.. not even view its contents [09:25] hobojohn3: (after that) [09:25] harm: Well, it aint source code. [09:25] r33d: i really really suggest using the wiki for this. wiki.ubuntu.com [09:25] timandtom: dont worry, im new to linux too :) [09:26] harm: i remember if you remove one of the permissions...not sure which, other users will not be able to see those files, the simpl way is to put a . infront of the file name like say .myfile [09:26] timandtom: fair enough, well what u could do is make a PORN partition which you could manually mount everytime u needs it? [09:26] sunogbaga: there are too many ways to get that wrong, for example leaving the folder in a directory owned by someone else will allow that someone to chmod it back [09:26] g[r]eek: yep, should work out of the box ... [09:26] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48650/ [09:26] Zenerek: u mean chmod? [09:27] g[r]eek: open the website you want to PDF in firefox, choose print, select "Postscript/default", check the "Print to file" box, and click print. [09:27] g[r]eek: name the file whatever .pdf and you should be set. [09:27] ifireball: if you chown root and chgrp root and chmod to readonly.. i don't see how anyone could get access [09:28] dadehoog its back in standby again [09:28] wasn't folder encryption supposed to be added in gusty? [09:28] dadehoog, I saw that - the fact that it's .pdf extension though doesn't change that it's in postscript format right? All I'm want is my clients to be able to open up the file using their (Windows, pfft) Acrobat readers. [09:28] harm: yeah, i got some bookson ubuntu ,anyway i read that there have to be certain permissions enabled to even be able to see a file...too bad i don't remember which ones [09:28] hobojohn3: ok, can you mount it now ? [09:28] harm, ok why? [09:28] harm, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=grub+error+17&titlesearch=Titles nout there [09:28] salut [09:28] sunogbaga: There's only one account(which i assume is root :P). This is mainly just to keep some stuff hidden when i randomly let someone use the laptop for a minute when im not looking, it doesnt need to hold up to a FBI raid or anything [09:28] harm: Erm, I'd rather not do anything complicated I'll screw up. Like I said, this is just a quick fix to keep stuff from prying eyes while I'm not looking. Something easy to access, just not falls-open easy [09:28] g[r]eek: PDF should be able to read ps ... [09:28] sunogbaga: chmod permissions are write permissions to the _containing_ directory... [09:29] is there viruses that linux can get?? like special coded viruses??? [09:29] same error [09:29] Hello everyone, I've just installed a ati's 7.11 driver off their site, and installed it. I'm getting HUGE graphic errors and bad framerate, can anyone help? [09:29] timandtom: ok here is an idea.. just call it .system [09:29] sunogbaga: e.g. if you leave such a folder in your home dir anyone with access to your user account can simply chmod/chown it back [09:30] or .gnome-systex no one non-linux guru will check that out [09:30] fyda: are you from #compiz-fusion?? [09:30] (Am I lagging out, or did #ubuntu suddenly go silent) [09:30] timandtom: look in ur homefolder with ctrl+h how many folders there are called gnome something [09:30] ifireball: i don't think so [09:31] is there a way to change ".php"s to ".jpg"s?? [09:31] hobojohn3: ok, what does "cat /proc/interrupts" show ? [09:31] hobojohn3: we're now looking at a nasty, nasty problem involving a kernel bug/error ... [09:32] hobojohn3: which is probably why it's taken so long to find and diagnose ... [09:32] uh oh [09:32] A nice easy one: How do I, via the command line, copy or move an entire directory tree, including all files and subdirs, to somewhere else? [09:32] timandtom: look u shouldnt worry about porn anyway.. who really gives a dang about it these days [09:32] harm: My girlfriend. [09:32] twiztr: cp /LOC/* /LOC2/ [09:32] look at something liek truecrypt [09:33] dadehoog: i suggested last night that he might want to get a newer kernel...if possible [09:33] Yea, truecrypt works really well. [09:33] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48651/ [09:33] twiztr: look woman dont like porn but they prefer it over another woman so thats thats [09:33] harm: I'm young enough to still live with my parents and younger bro, old enough too look at the stuff LEGALLY. You tell me :P [09:33] twiztr, You would use the -r attribute in the command which copies the structure I think but you might want to wait and confirm from others or use man cp [09:33] how would i get a nerwer kernel [09:33] timandtom: dude iam 19 and i have a girlfriend and 10GB of pr0n [09:33] hobojohn3: and "lspci" and "lsusb" ? [09:34] harm: look at truecrypt.. ffs. [09:34] harm: But do ya live with your parents and lend your 13 y/o bro your laptop? [09:34] could i download bittorrent from synaptic?? [09:34] timandtom: just dont bluntly put it on the desktop calling it XXX cuz it wouldnt b cool for ur lil bro [09:34] how do i get php? [09:34] sunogbaga: well, it seems I can't chmod/chown the directory once its root-owned though I can still move it around or delete it... [09:34] NeT_DeMoN: course not [09:34] hobojohn3: and "lsmod" ? [09:34] timandtom: urm well i suppose u could just make a new linux user called pron :P which would give 0 access to other users but it would be quite some trouble transfering data [09:35] How can I tell if my box has been "rootkitted"?? [09:35] sunogbaga: where can i download it from? [09:35] hobojohn3 don't worry about it yet, keep working with dadehoog: [09:35] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48652/ [09:35] ifireball: you can't delete it either [09:35] jxxt: get a rootkit scanner :D [09:35] Can anyone help me fix this http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/3179/screenshot1pj9.png it's a problem with drivers.

[09:37] dadehoog, just thought you should know - http://blog.refactor.se/category/linux/ubuntu/ is a blog post that covers this program: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUPS [09:37] hobojohn3: that's odd ... uhci and ehci are both still loaded ... (despite the blacklisting) [09:37] sunogbaga: that what root:root does [09:37] dadehoog, and thanks for the help. cheers [09:37] ifireball: i think its because you are sudoing.. [09:38] harm, I read somewhere that a lot of linux boxes have been root kit Is that a bit of b/s??? [09:38] k that means? [09:38] ifireball: my mistake.. but you were sudoing [09:38] sunogbaga: i'm just sudoing the chmod/chown commands, not the rm [09:38] jxxt: with linux boxes they probally mean linux SERVER boxes.. and yes that is quite possible nothin is nicer for a botmaster to have a couple of nice backbone servers to run some ops of === cool is now known as cewe_cute [09:39] jxxt: or so i can imagen ^^ [09:39] sunogbaga: originally i did it on different lines, just added ";" for ease of pasting [09:39] hobojohn3: it means that the line we put into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist may not be working ... [09:39] sunogbaga: this works too: mkdir hard; sudo chown root:root hard/; sudo chmod 700 hard/; mv hard soft; ls -ld soft [09:39] harm, So I should be ok then? [09:39] ifireball: I can't do it on my machine [09:39] how do we get it to work? [09:40] hobojohn3: one last roll of the dice ... [09:40] im having download problems, anytime i try to download something, it tries but wont complete, it stops at like certian spots, is there anything i can do to fix it?

[09:44] jxxt: so try sudo apt-get install chkrootkit ; chkrootkit [09:44] hobojohn3: then it's reboot time ... The reason for the reboots (not often necessary) is that we're playing around with kernel modules and options - which should be tested from a clean boot === rocknload is now known as aliad [09:44] hi all [09:44] to duel boot dont you need to partition your hardrive?? [09:44] NeT_DeMoN: yes [09:44] NeT_DeMoN: No. [09:44] NeT_DeMoN: u cannot have 2 OS's on 1 partition [09:44] oh wow [09:44] NeT_DeMoN: Sorta, actually. [09:44] hmm [09:45] You can resize one partition [09:45] i need help.. i dont know how to see my essid [09:45] NeT_DeMoN: but u can emulate or VM linux ontop of windows or otehrway around [09:45] So you don't lose any of the informaton on it. [09:45] harm, thanks I am doing that next... [09:45] harm: But it's super slow. [09:45] but you have to backup [09:45] sunogbaga: this works for me: cd ~/Desktop/; mkdir hard; sudo chown root:root hard/; sudo chmod 700 hard/; mv hard soft; ls -ld soft [09:45] can someone help me? [09:45] when i started to install Ubuntu though, it asked me how much partition i wanted, but it was greedily taking 98% of the disk space [09:45] is it possible to hae an external hardrive and a regular hardrive at the same time?

[09:46] aliad: open a terminal, run iwconfig |grep ESSID === cool is now known as cewe_cute [09:47] thanks [09:47] ehhh, is it possible to have linux on one and XP SP2 on the other? [09:47] NeT_DeMoN: thats what i have [09:47] NeT_DeMoN: a loooot of people have XP + Linux [09:47] NeT_DeMoN: Probably, I haven't tried installing XP onto USB tho [09:47] how can i tell what is my essid from what its saying up there? [09:48] NeT_DeMoN: you can definitely do Ubuntu onto the USB, I've done that fine [09:48] wow, i want windoze for my WoW and halo gaming [09:48] mosno: ok [09:48] NeT_DeMoN: try ##windows [09:48] aliad: it should say ESSID: "" [09:48] mosno: ok [09:48] NeT_DeMoN: basically here is what i would do.. clear out ur silly xp install and through away lots of junk and then DEFRAG it.. then just put the install CD in and keep pressing next [09:48] harm, I am as clean as a whistle. Thanks for that :-)))) [09:48] still wont mount [09:48] harm: coo [09:48] l [09:48] its not in standby atm tho [09:49] NeT_DeMoN: as i rember it, it will repart as much as possible from the current XP partition and resize it into two parts [09:49] hobojohn3: gah. I'm almost out of ideas ... what's in dmesg now ? [09:49] harm: ok [09:49] ifireball: i see.. do it on a nonempty dir [09:49] jxxt: no problem, remeber Users are useless its servers that bad people want :) [09:49] how is the free java called? [09:49] jxxt: there always millions of windows machines to exploit without any effort [09:49] sunogbaga: yeah, that won't work because you can't rm the files inside, you can still mv it though [09:49] harm, I will remember.. :D [09:50] jxxt: pretty happy w. this chkrootkit looks freaking decent [09:50] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48654/ [09:50] sunogbaga: and you can't see the files either way so its "sorta" secure... [09:50] harm: it's clear that you don't know what you're on about with your "hax0ring", please could you keep the noise down ..? [09:51] ifireball: i can't mv it neither cp it [09:51] harm, Did a very thorough job on my little box.... [09:51] shoot...dual booting seems really complicated... [09:51] dadehoog: what u on about ? [09:51] hobojohn3: Ok ... which USB port is the external drive plugged into now ? [09:51] ifireball: lemme double check that cp thing [09:51] my back left one [09:52] ifireball: double checked.. cant cp it either.. [09:52] dadehoog: from botnet perspective linux users are just to much trouble to exploit other then the servers.. [09:52] sunogbaga: cp won't work, mv will: cd /home/ifireball/Desktop/; mkdir hard; touch hard/fil; sudo chown -R root:root hard/; sudo chmod 700 hard/; mv hard soft; ls -ld soft [09:52] brb [09:52] dadehoog: the linux servers tend to be low maintained and stable [09:53] ifireball: cp wont copy directorys enless you give -r [09:53] hey how much faster would you guys say Ubuntu is when it's running on the hard drive instead of from a CD? [09:53] backgen: lots faster [09:53] sunogbaga: after that stream of commands you can sudo ls soft and see the file is in there [09:54] backgen: depends on ur computer but in general much faster [09:54] Okay. This isn't so much a Ubuntu question as a Unix question in general. But lets say I have my root account on a box and have set up sudoers appropriately. How should I go about scrambling my root password in such a manner that even I don't know what it is anymore? [09:54] clever: thx but I'm not having that kind of problem... [09:54] hobojohn3: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=433930 <-- details ... [09:54] . [09:54] ifireball: ahh:( [09:54] ifireball: brb rebooting to fix smp kernel [09:54] Wing: smoke lots of crack will make u forget the password [09:55] hi , I would like to know if I can do something with the keyring app to have it provide my wifi password to the networkmanager when ubuntu start without having to enter the password? [09:55] harm: lol [09:55] buongiorno [09:55] qualcuno é prqtico di rinetd? [09:55] io ho il seguente problema [09:55] hi, i have a question: i want to change to ubuntu, but i need to copy/modify ntfs partitions, play wmv files, and wanna play whit crysis, world in conflict, nfs pro street..... can i do it whit ubuntu :)? [09:55] sono dietro un server [09:55] flash player is free to redistribute with your software product. Does ubuntu know that? [09:55] ops [09:55] is english [09:55] sorry [09:55] :-) [09:55] so [09:56] someone know rinetd? === mike_ is now known as Germ77 [09:56] hobojohn3: it appears that there's a kernel bug relating to the usb_suspend code ... and unfortunately, it's rearing its ugly head on your setup ... just to confirm, you are using Gutsy Gibbon ? [09:56] MFreenet: sure except for the gaming part [09:56] hey so did someone say that i could install linux on an external hard drive, and that way still keep windows on this computer? How does that work exactly? [09:56] yup [09:56] 7.10 [09:56] hobojohn3: you may be the first person to experience the bug on the newer, Gutsy kernel ... [09:56] is there any way to authenticate users whenever they inserts usbs in there machines?that authentication is for mounting external hardwares in the machine [09:57] yay for me:( [09:57] Zenerek: last time i try to change ubuntu the ntfs and wmv was problem also [09:57] hobojohn3: alas ... do you have any USB 1.1 ports ? [09:57] i dont know i think thats what they all are [09:58] backgen: well you do need to install on another drive unless you have only one partion in which case....well the answer to to that eludes me [09:58] Also, how can I make a txt file of all the files in directory 'x' (and all subdirectories) the end in '.m4p', including the full path to each file? (I'm assuming with all the power of the command line, this is possible. [09:58] but they might be 2.0 [09:58] hobojohn3: some of them are 2.0 ... but some may be 1.1 onl [09:58] is there a way for me to put a background for when you zoom out of the cube??? [09:58] backgen: well you do not need to install on another drive unless you have only one partion in which case....well the answer to to that eludes me, sorry typos [09:58] how can i find out? [09:58] hobojohn3: I'd assume that they're all USB2.0 unless you know otherwise ... [09:58] twiztr: find x -name '*.mp4' -print > list.txt [09:59] ok so if i just plug in my external hard drive, i could just click the little install icon on my desktop and it'll allow me to install linux on my external hard drive? [09:59] MFreenet: for ntfs there is ntfs3g and i can run wmv just fine [09:59] twiztr: find /full/path/to/directory/ -name "*.m4p" > your_file.txt [09:59] my computers model was stopped production in 2006 [09:59] it a toshiba satalite m105 [09:59] no extra stuff on the m105 [09:59] \irc.plasa.com [10:00] ifireball: i can't mv it [10:00] hobojohn3: probably USB2.0 then ... [10:00] hobojohn3: your is pretty close to mine, i have a toshiba A-105 satellite [10:00] Hi [10:00] sunogbaga: did you try mv within the same dir or to another dir? [10:00] so just sit and wait for a kernel fix? [10:00] There's a rather annoying "feature" in fat support, it seems [10:01] hi, i have folder /data/svn/gajim and I want to run "svn update" inside that folder, how can I manage to do that if my pwd is now let's say /mnt ? Thanks [10:01] * NeT_DeMoN draws fire on desktop :) [10:01] Let's say I have a file called "FILE.EXT" and I copy it to a FAT device, and it gets renamed to "file.ext" any way I can disable that? [10:01] ifireball: yup.. it sez.. permission denied [10:01] Zenerek: ah, thx :) and what do ya think about the gaming part it's impossible i want to use my 8800 and the 4gbram === amidaniel is now known as amidaniel|away [10:02] hobojohn3: I'm just looking through the Launchpad bug tracker to see if a bug has been filed, and if a fix or workaround is available [10:02] k [10:02] sunogbaga: not that for my example to work neither "hard" nor "soft" should exist beforehand [10:02] thnx [10:02] ifireball: so whatever i'm doin is fine with me.. i just add the dot and wala [10:02] i have no idea what that means but thnx [10:02] Jupp3-: dunno; but fat filesystem is case insensitive so file.txt and FILE.TXT are the same file [10:02] helo [10:02] ok so say i have only one partition on the hard drive in my computer, can i install linux onto an external hard drive without partitioning either drive? And how does it work then, when i boot up the comp i have to boot up from the external hard drive? [10:02] hobojohn3: Absolute, last, gasp. [10:02] erUSUL: Not really... [10:02] try running [10:03] sudu modprobe -r ehci-hcd [10:03] ifireball: i know, basic linux... [10:03] erUSUL: I mean, it will be a different file when copied back from the filesystem [10:03] sudo echo -n > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend [10:03] rawr [10:03] sudo modprobe ehci-hcd [10:03] And I think that some software still might expect all upper case names [10:03] * NeT_DeMoN watches water on his screen and sings "rain drops keep falling on my head" :D [10:04] WOOOOOOOOOOOOOtttttt [10:04] it worked [10:04] how do i get it to do that at boot up so i dont have to do thatevery time? [10:04] hi [10:05] hobojohn3: I knew you'd ask that :x heh :p [10:05] hobojohn3: here's the full bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/88746 [10:05] I'd sign up to receive emails on it ... [10:05] any one know alot about sound cards??? [10:05] MFreenet: gaming those big time games i think is not possible in gaming, it is what is holding some of us to windows, and so far i have only heard of wow working so no i don't think so...i understand i'm gamer myself.... [10:05] hobojohn3: here's the workaround details: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/88746/comments/188 [10:05] erUSUL: And when backing up stuff from memory card, it's easy to end up with two equal files with different (but same on FAT) filenames on non-fat partition [10:06] Jupp3-: well you should use tar on those cases becouse on fat you do not only loose filenames you loose all permissions bits [10:06] i have a question, im having sound driver problems, my sound only works every once in awhile, can any one help me make it work all the time???? [10:07] so does anyone know if it's possible to install linux on an external hard drive, without affecting the current OS (Windows) on the hard drive in my laptop...and if so, how do i do that? [10:07] Jupp3-: so if yu are using fat fs to store backups ; store tar files and not the files itself (with the added bonus of some compression) [10:07] erUSUL: I meant the other way [10:07] hobojohn3: to make it permanent (it's an ugly hack, but it seems to help) add the three commands (without sudo) to the /etc/rc.local file (before the "exit 0") [10:07] erUSUL: Like backing up a FAT-formatted memory card on EXT3, f.ex. [10:07] hallo [10:08] hobojohn3: before you reboot to test it, put a copy of your /etc/rc.local file on pastebin and I'll check it for you [10:08] um the auto suspend one in the middle says permission denied [10:08] hobojohn3: ah ... even as root ? [10:08] even if i sudo it [10:09] Jupp3-: in the later cas i do not see how can be a name conflict... on the fat fs you can not create two files named FILE.TXT and file.txt [10:09] hobojohn3: try "echo -n -1 > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend" [10:09] i accidently formatted the wrong partition with windows setup, this quick format doesnt removes the data, it just marks it as being empty.. is there any way to tell the partition to be ext3 withouth formatting it? [10:09] hi [10:09] same [10:09] acemo: yep, change the filesystem type to ext3 in /etc/fstab [10:09] erUSUL: Let's say I have FILE.EXT on ext3, and I put it on a memory card. Then I take backup later, and get file.ext, so they are two different files [10:10] hobojohn3: ok, well, I'd put it into the /etc/rc./local file - but comment it out (ie. put a "#" at the beginning of that line) [10:10] And doing mv file.ext FILE.EXT on fat doesn't seem to fix it either [10:10] dadehoog: let me try that :) ill let u know if it worked [10:10] Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't it be possible to have all upper case filenames on fat partitions? [10:10] acemo: and then unmount, and re-mount the FS [10:10] Mixed case names seem to be copied just fine [10:10] Jupp3-: FAT is case insensitive ... [10:10] But all upper case seem to be somehow converted to all lower case [10:11] How do i enable sound in Gutsy Gibbon? [10:11] Jupp3-: in that case i recommend using tar files they were dessigned for that use case... you can extract especific files compress them mantine all the atributes intact etc... [10:11] !sun | K-41 [10:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about sun - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:11] dadehoog: touch File.ext creates File.ext, not file.ext [10:11] Jupp3-: have a look at "man fstab" and look at the squash options ... [10:11] !sound | K-41 [10:11] K-41: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [10:11] ty [10:11] Jupp3-: Linux cares, FAT and Windows don't. [10:12] dadehoog: Thanks, that seems to be the closest thing to an actual solution to the problem :) [10:12] did any1 try to run Promise TX4310 raid controller - my question is does it work at all ? [10:12] * NeT_DeMoN wonders how he can make his sound card work [10:12] dadehoog: But still there CAN be mixed case filenames right? [10:12] And all lower case filenames [10:12] But for some reason, linux seems to have something againist all upper case filenames.. [10:13] Jupp3-: yeah ... should be fine ... [10:13] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48656/ [10:13] hobojohn3: okay, hold your breath and reboot :) [10:13] dadehoog: Even if "it should be the same", I see no point in converting SOME filenames [10:13] can any one tell me how to fix my sound card? [10:13] k brb again [10:14] Especially when it won't be the same when copied back, f.ex. [10:14] * dadehoog wonders what NeT_DeMoN's sound card is ... [10:14] dadehoog: well i've been watching this whole little drama witch you and hobojohn3, there was action,suspense drama and a happy ending...and learned and remembered a thing or two...yet another reason i come here, sometimes you learn knew stuff just by watching [10:14] Zenerek: well (assuming it works) it wasn't an easy one ! Pleased to be of assistance :) [10:15] dramas not over [10:15] it wont let me save [10:15] dadehoog: its a Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) [10:15] put it this way, it's rare that you have to diagnose kernel bugs and apply workarounds ... [10:17] hobojohn3: what command did you use to edit the file ? [10:17] gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local or just gedit /etc/rc.local ? [10:17] hobojohn3 well that fact that i understood most of what you were doing means i know a thing or two [10:17] Anyone happen to know how to find out what has a lock on an open file? [10:17] oops that was meant for dadehoog [10:17] the gksudo is important - without it, you're running gedit as a normal user - and no system admin wants every user to be able to change the boot sequence ! [10:17] Zenerek: well, it's all about Google, the forums and Launchpad ... really. === _ziyax is now known as ziyax [10:17] Zenerek: oh, and pastebin :) [10:17] hey there guya [10:17] guys' [10:18] I have a problem with Flash in Firefox [10:18] k i hit the shut down button before i could save so please when i get back can you give me my paste bin link and the gksudo command i need to get to the file properly [10:18] hang on hobojohn3 [10:18] k [10:18] you need to make the change before you reboot [10:18] thats why im saying have it ready [10:19] still there are times i just need to take a break and...breath ya know....and googleis not always help...i mean you try to look for motherboard and they direct you to "did you say motherboard porn" [10:19] so open a terminal, run "gksudo /etc/rc.local" and add the three lines in [10:19] I just did a new install of Gutsy and tried to install Gnash in Firefox... but it did not work,.... so I uninstalled it and tried out the Adobe Flash option ... and it did not work either [10:19] the reboot command started then got cut off [10:19] please help [10:19] i cant do anything other than type here at the moment [10:19] hobojohn3: ok ... reboot then, and we'll see you in a minute ! [10:19] so brb to do this over again [10:20] anyone? [10:20] Zenerek: yeah, not the search strings I was using :P [10:20] * NeT_DeMoN wants to take a hammer to his computer :) [10:20] Zenerek: eg. hub cannot reset port (err = -108) [10:20] not much porn includes all of those words :P [10:21] hi, an apport process is using 100% cpu on my computer, can i kill this? [10:21] unless it's from that old usenet group alt.sex.fetish.linux ... [10:21] * NeT_DeMoN specially his sound card [10:22] well guys i've done it... i'm installing Ubuntu onto my external hard drive....if this somehow destroys my Windows on my laptop however...i think i'll cry myself to sleep [10:22] k im back what was the terminal command now?

[10:24] k brb again rebooting again [10:24] tead of the regular URL-encoded [10:24] format, in which case you would have to [10:24] change this.

[10:26] hobojohn3's first question was awful, I wasn't going to help, except he went to the trouble of answering the 9 or so questions I fired at him - so it was clear he wanted to fix it, properly, and understand it, not just "FIXXXXXX IT!!!!!" [10:27] @Filled-void I don't really want to edit them, I just want to view and highlight text like I do on paper [10:27] Kalamansi: yes i am [10:27] Kalamansi: sunogbaga: ako din! [10:27] my problem is hard to understand [10:27] dadehoog: don't think it can get more simple than is there support for raid cards in ubuntu...at all [10:27] all i know is it dont work most the time :P [10:27] Zenerek: wrong question. [10:27] Balachmar, You could try and see if that works in it . I havent personally used it [10:28] Balachmar: oh! it thought you meant copy then paste [10:28] Zenerek: google can tell you the answer to the broad question that you just asked. [10:28] any one good at fixing sound cards??? [10:30] k what folder would the drive be under? [10:30] @sunogbaga: No jus highlight text that is important like I do on paper. It should then ofcourse also save those highlights [10:30] Zenerek: someone here can help you step through using the device in practice ... [10:30] NeT_DeMoN: You're still having the issue with not having sound? [10:30] hobojohn3: what do you mean ? [10:30] NeT_DeMoN, No sound? [10:30] fyda: yes [10:30] its not there [10:30] filled-void: yes [10:30] how do you get the shockwave player to work in Firefox? [10:30] something's bogging down my old server..

[10:30] NeT_DeMoN: And you did already enable External Amplifier? [10:30] NeT_DeMoN, Onboard? [10:30] cause that is what got it ot work in the firstplace [10:30] and my computer dont like my bluetooth:P [10:30] yeah [10:30] so let me check again [10:30] I think something's writing to the drive like mad, or making it swap like crazy [10:30] ok ... give that a whirl [10:30] markaa: not sure, but i think the flashplugin-nonfree package is still broken [10:30] fyda, filled-void: yes to both your questions [10:30] dadehoog: yeah i searched google, from what i read it said no, and what did you mean in practice...sorry you were a little vague [10:30] sunogbaga : gvsa123 : alam nyo pano irun ang webmin?

[10:30] Kalamansi: usually u should invoke it via your browser [10:31] NeT_DeMoN, Realtek or Intel HDA?

[10:46] its not listed on my desktop when i hit install [10:47] i'm having some problems with my bluetooth mouse since upgrading to gutsy... basically the mouse does not work if it is connected before linux starts, because the BIOS already initializes some bluetooth stuff. It works as soon as I do /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart. I had the same or a similar problem when I first set this up on feisty, but I don't remember how I solved it :( any pointers?

So this doesnt seem to be exactly the same problem now [10:53] Aaron, tuxenclave.wordpress.com he has 2 customization guides for Ubuntu specifically [10:53] Hey, i'm in the ubuntu livecd and I don't see lvm [10:53] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=642887 [10:54] is there a way?

[10:58] Aaron: only if you don't know what you're doing [10:58] o ok lol cause i dont [10:58] I think what I need is fingerprinting of mp3s right?

[10:59] just using it when a tutorial tells me to or you guys do ha [10:59] Aaron, if you mean less secure read !sudo [11:00] hello [11:00] Aaron: it is not bad, but dangerous with sudo you can nuke your system because normal user restrictions don't apply so when somebody tells you to do "sudo foo" you better check what that actually does with a "man foo" that will tell what that command is for in general [11:00] how do you get fingerprinting of mp3s to work with musicbrainz in ubuntu? It says it is unsupported [11:00] when running beryl my vnc doesnt work, but without beryl there are no problems...what to do? [11:00] lesshaste, is that using the Tagging feature for mp3? [11:00] disable beryl? [11:01] found the answer if anyone cares :) [11:02] how do i find out if my 3d Composite Manager is running? [11:04] any idea why nfs filesystems listed in /etc/fstab aren't mounted on boot? mount -a -t nfs works fine afterwards [11:04] Aaron, I think that basically means if compiz is running . And if it is then it is installed by default. [11:04] Who can help me? [11:06] well i click on the emerald theme but it does nothing i read the fourms and it said to use compiz --replace -c emerald & [11:06] J have one Question?

[11:52] abhi: which model? [11:53] Stevethepirate: Dell Vostro 1400 N [11:53] Oh.. nice. [11:53] the worst thing about ubuntu is updates.. and they suck so bad [11:53] austen, after a cd install no... but dist upgrade is a no no [11:53] not just a little [11:53] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaafffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiibbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu [11:53] theLichKing, what is wrong with the updates? [11:53] [11:53] I'm looking at getting Inspiron 1720 .. 2.4ghz core 2 duo, 3 gigs ram, 320 gigs Hdd, 8600m GT, 17" screen. [11:53] [11:53] @ abhi [11:54] anyone know if you can run AIGLX and XGL at the same time [11:54] hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [11:54] livingdaylight: What do you mean a dist upgrade is a no no? [11:54] abhi: did ur wireless work out of the box as well? [11:54] anyone here play WoW on linux? [11:54] austen, i mean don't go that way.... [11:54] Aaron: yeah. [11:54] did you have problems getting patched? [11:54] Nope. [11:54] austen, its hit and miss - i recommend clean installs [11:54] 1. they are not thoroughly tested.. like a package can come out in one day and night. 2. they show up as 40+ updates all at once, not as soon as one is out. 3. dist upgrades fail most of the time.. like you can't upgrade from 6.10 to 7.10 without issues [11:54] livingdaylight: i agree. [11:55] livingdaylight [11:55] well i just did patch 1.12 to 2.0 and it said WoW is already installed ... any ideas? [11:55] No clue. [11:55] You wining / cedega? [11:55] austen, see, i'm not the only one who thinks so [11:55] How can i install ubuntu from an image file? [11:55] wine [11:55] What's 'hardy' distro? [11:55] livingdaylight: too late... :) I downloaded the iso to try and re-install from fresh, however the install cd won't even boot. I'm getting an "abnormal exit" from /sbin/modprobe [11:55] NekoKun: debian would be [11:56] so... Dapper is the newer? [11:56] livingdaylight: like.. on about 30 Pc's .. 3 will always fail on a dist-upgrade. [11:56] if I have 2 image cds of ubuntu do i have to write both of them or I can install them just from their image files? [11:56] NekoKun: no, dapper is a version of ubuntu. [11:56] hey, how do i delete all the files whose names start with .foo_bar in a folder? [11:56] What's the newer version? [11:56] jtaby: "rm .foo_bar*" [11:56] Stevethepirate, yea... it's crazy... Ubuntu should not even advertise that dist-upgrade is possible... [11:56] or I have to write one of them to boot and then address the second image [11:56] livingdaylight: its useful.. since one can cssh and upgrade a lot of pc's [11:56] but there are too many problems. [11:57] out of 30, 3 only? you must be very lucky [11:57] hi [11:57] Stevethepirate, beautiful, thanks [11:57] austen, if your bios is set to cd rom priority why is your cd not booting? [11:57] theLichKing: they have limited packages. [11:57] lol@ theLichKing [11:57] who knows shell program to help me [11:57] stevethepirate is there any way to uninstall the burning crusade and reinstall it? [11:57] Aaron: wine or cedega [11:57] I mean.. for example.. on my desktop, the power tripped during dist-upgrade [11:57] i use Wine [11:57] that makes a little sense [11:58] no clue. [11:58] Stevethepirate, its a great idea and i'm surprised that they haven't made that workeable. They've had since warty afterall to sort it out [11:58] how do I check how many times my hard drive has spun up / down etc [11:58] i cedega for Wow [11:58] and i resume ... and it works perfectly. [11:58] but then [11:58] on a another PC.. its like.. crash for no reason [11:58] mular: i think you would need a sensor on the hard disk [11:58] if it consistantly failed or worked would be awesome. [11:58] ahhh im running the repair tool [11:58] abhi: you alive? [11:59] Anyone here have a Dell/ work at dell? [11:59] i don't like emulation/virtualization/compatibility layers [11:59] they bring nothing but trouble [11:59] Wine is not an emulator. [11:59] i know [11:59] that's why i said compatibility layers [11:59] Like. VMWare is -really- useful [11:59] for example/. [11:59] I have 2 Xeon servers [11:59] i prefer running everything native [12:00] livingdaylight: One interesting error I get in the console durring boot is /dev/disk/by-uuid/[uuid] does not exist. then drops to a shell... [12:00] that run about 20 PC's . [12:00] all virtualised [12:00] yeah I thnk I do have a sensor.. in windows I can use the tools that the hard drive came with.. its a western digital.. but can't in linux [12:00] 4 in realtime [12:00] smartmon tools I think it used but I can't seem to get that to work [12:00] rest are background. [12:00] theLichKing: do you have a chip with VT or AMD-V? [12:00] austen, can you go into bios? [12:00] Yeah [12:00] kitofhawaii: i don't know what those are, but i don't have an AMD [12:00] austen, what is your boot priority set to? [12:01] Stevethepirate: what specs those xeons have? [12:01] livingdaylight: Should be CD then HD, I'll check now... Floppy, CD, IDE, Network [12:01] theLichKing: all intel core2 duo's come with VT built into the chip...if the bios supports VT, then turning that on makes virtualization run pretty darn well [12:02] kitofhawaii: i didn't know that [12:02] kitofhawaii: not all of them [12:02] austen, make it cd first and you should be able to boot from cd... then boot and install from cd fresh [12:02] kitofhawaii: does it have a side effect? [12:02] hrnt: well...the ones that support VT yes [12:02] kitofhawaii: does ubuntu support turbocache [12:02] austen, backup your home directory or whatever you wanna carry over first === [1]SuperSayjin is now known as TheDarkBGM [12:03] theLichKing: no. intel's of the opinion it should be enabled by default, but manufacturers generally default it to off for whatever reason. more that most people don't need it available [12:03] austen, anyone who tells you they've successfully done a dist upgrade is prolly a liar.... [12:03] kitofhawaii: basically E6xx0 has virtualization, E4xx0 and E2xx0 do not [12:03] livingdaylight: I think you're misunderstanding me. The system gets past grub just fine. It loads the CD bootloader just fine. It loads the kernel just fine, but then craps out with a modprobe error, and also can't find the uuid of my primary {me thinks} hard drive [12:03] i see [12:03] auskadi, oh, i see... :/ [12:04] kitofhawaii: does ubuntu support turbocache [12:04] Stevethepirate: i don't know enough about that to say yes or no, i'm sorry [12:04] Who could tell me? [12:04] austen, this is from your live cd or from your hard drive install? [12:04] Like, where would i look? [12:04] how can I determine the version of ubuntu from the console? uname -a only lists the kernel version [12:05] can anyone help me troubleshoot DNS error in internet sharing across two ubuntu pcs [12:05] dhcpd on ubuntu: i've defined a bunch of host blah { fixed-address x.x.x.x; } for my network, but they (all ubuntu boxes) seem to ignore that info and just renew their old dynamic leases. how can i force them onto the new static leases? [12:05] livinigdaylight: Both. The live CD wont start, nor will it boot from hard drive. Both crap out with an "abnormal exit" error from /sbin/modprobe *durring* the boot process. [12:06] san|: maybe check the contents of /etc/lsb-release? [12:06] on Nvidias site they say to use sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run but it gives me the error can't open NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run anyone know whats going on? [12:06] hrnt: ok, yes there are core2 duo's that don't. :) [12:06] austen, i'm sorry, don't know what to tell you then. I would make sure the cd is good but other than that it is beyond me [12:06] hrnt: cool.. indeed! [12:06] dsturnbull: kill -SIGHUP `cat /var/run/dhcpd.pid` ? (ie restarted dhcpd) [12:06] kitofhawaii: although DX10 is not possibly native for linux, can one get HD output from a HD movie on linux ? [12:06] yeah ekimus. [12:06] Can anyone point me to info in re hibernation on a Toshiba Portégé 4010, Ubuntu 7.10? Hibernation seems to be unreliable and possibly not fully functional. [12:06] Can anyone tell me how to get a folder to refresh thumbnails for video? I tried to open one before the codec was installed, not all files have thumbnail previews except for the ones I tried to open. [12:07] livingdaylight: aight... Yeah, this has never happened to me before... I've neve not been able to boot a clean install from an iso before... [12:07] austen, i've never had it happen either, so i don't know what is goin on, sorry [12:07] kitofhawaii: although DX10 is not possibly native for linux, can one get HD output from a HD movie on linux ? [12:07] austen, try another disc? [12:08] do laptop memory card readers work by default in ubuntu? [12:08] so i have subnet { range 10.10.10.100 10.10.10.254 } followed by group { host blah { ... } } in my dhcpd.conf, which worked fine in freebsd but since i moved to ubuntu it doesn't have any effect, even when the client sends DHCPDISCOVER and not just DHCPRENEW [12:08] wheres grub at ? [12:08] Stevethepirate: i don't know much about HD-DVD or bluray support on linux [12:08] SIghs.. [12:08] /boot/grub? [12:08] who should i ask? [12:08] like.? [12:08] !hd [12:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about hd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [12:08] Stevethepirate: well there's the rest of the channel certainly [12:08] hi [12:08] Although DX10 is not possibly native for linux, can one get HD output from a HD movie on linux ?

Obrigado. [12:10] hello [12:10] livingdaylight, pretty sure the disk is fine. I'm getting the same error off the disk as I am off the hdd... It's got to be a driver problem of some kind... [12:10] Stevethepirate: try /msg ubotu to get ubotu responses in private [12:11] kitofhawaii: Was trying to get help for Paulinhooooouuuu [12:11] kitofhawaii: the thing is.. that i have HD movies, as avi's... [12:11] austen, yea, sounds like hardware issue there. You can just cross check by trying the disc on another computer and/or trying another disc on your present computer [12:11] livingdaylight, Luckily this system isn't a crucial one... Just my media box, and all that stuff is on its own hdd. /home will be easy enought to back up with knoppix, and all that will do is save my azureus cache [12:11] why i get direct rendering: No after i installed the binary nvidia driver , i tried several times but it look impossible to have the rendering to yes [12:11] is there a svn client that integrates with nautilus and tracks deletion from there etc... like turquoise on win32? [12:12] austen, you're alrite then ;) [12:12] i used envy but it change nothing [12:12] livingdaylight, all this hassle just because ATI has crappy driver support... rumors of 7.10 working with svideo out on radeon 9000's... Gah.. [12:12] ubuntu sucks [12:13] andre__, viva la revolucion! [12:13] livingdaylight, ? [12:13] hey anyone know if its a good idea to run xgl and AIGLX [12:13] Stevethepirate: then it depends on the codec the avi uses...if you know which codecs you need you'll be able to find out if it's available on ubuntu or not. [12:14] thedefender: They can't run at the same time. They replace each other. [12:14] Does anyone know how i can install ubuntu from a CD image without writing it to CD? [12:14] everybody should try archlinux [12:14] Stevethepirate, What are you tryign to play and do you have restricted-extras installed? [12:14] pici: i figured as much, thanks [12:14] andre__: This is a support channel, if you don't have anything constructive, you are free to leave. [12:14] Pici, is the Nvu project dead? [12:14] livingdaylight: I believe so, it has been replaced by kompozer iirc. [12:14] Filled-void: okay [12:14] ok, sry [12:14] auskadi, i love you comrade [12:15] guys, i would like a video encoder to make downloaded vids smaller for my [12:15] Pici, i c thank you [12:15] I have several, lets assume legal acquired avi's, of HD movies [12:15] I have a few diff kernels in my grub bootup list .. is it ok to del the olderones ? [12:15] That i wanna watch in as HD as I can. [12:15] guys, i would like a video encoder to make downloaded vids smaller for my mp4 player - any ideas? [12:15] no clue about the 3D rendering with the nvidia driver (for geforce 6150) ? [12:15] ailean: mencoder is one, I think [12:15] aldren: man ffmpeg [12:15] Can anyone point me to info in re hibernation on a Toshiba Portégé 4010, Ubuntu 7.10? Hibernation seems to be unreliable and possibly not fully functional. [12:16] Pici, i was reading The Official Ubuntu Book, but things move along fast 'spose... AND the nvu site is still up, so, its confusing [12:16] Stevethepirate, Did the above thread help or have you already tried that? [12:16] !nvu | livingdaylight this should explain it [12:16] livingdaylight this should explain it: kompozer is WYSIWYG HTML editor for easily creating web pages, and the continuation of the dead Nvu project. It is available in !Universe on !Gutsy, !Backports on !Feisty, and from « deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tonyyarusso/ubuntu edgy universe » for Edgy. (Dapper still pending) [12:16] yup [12:16] thanks Slart i'll check it out [12:17] anyone having any luck with FGLRX, dual head and compiz [12:18] how do you convert video so that you can play it on an ipod nano? [12:18] Filled-void: which link? [12:18] How can I install AFM fonts? [12:18] Stevethepirate, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD this is the thread I was talking about [12:19] Filled-void: no. [12:19] I have the unencrpyed movies already. [12:19] As avi's [12:19] I wanna know if i just memcoder movie.avi [12:19] *mplayer movie.avi [12:19] will it come out in HD? [12:19] Like, to the screen? [12:20] Stevethepirate, I dont see why it wouldnt :/ I dont have much experience with HD content though provided you have the right codecs to view AVIs ? [12:21] Filled-void: well. [12:21] Its a 15gig file. [12:21] [avi] [12:21] WOah [12:21] So i'm hoping that I can plug into TV over HDMI [12:21] and it will be true HD [12:22] But i'm not sure [12:22] !punctuation > Stevethepirate [12:22] Sighs. [12:23] * genii wanders in and puts on a pot of coffee [12:23] anyone here gotten compiz to work with bigdesktop? [12:23] Stevethepirate: just for the channel's sake. it's hard to read what you're sending like that [12:23] yep its 6:23am here , i need to put on a pot too [12:23] its 14:24 here :P [12:24] Stevethepirate: the best you can do is try it. if you don't know which codec you need specifically, it'll be difficult to determine how well it'll run. [12:24] good morning [12:25] Stevethepirate, I wish I could confirm whether ti would work or not but I think you would have better luck on Medibuntu forums as it deals much more with Media content [12:26] Stevethepirate: on whole, if you have the codec already, mplayer will play whatever it is given. be it 5000x4000, 1920x1080, or anything, as long as your video card supports that resolution and your computer is fast enough to keep up [12:27] anyone here gotten compiz to work with bigdesktop? [12:27] what is bigdesktop?? [12:28] a type of dual monitor configuration for fglrx [12:28] !kernel [12:28] 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 [12:29] what is the level of importance regarding having kernel always up to date ? [12:29] thedefender: try this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=592016 [12:29] i will ty [12:30] crush_grove, do you mean getting kernel updates or recompiling your kernel [12:31] thedefender: be aware the max texture size defaults to 2048x2048 (from the thread) [12:31] kitofhawaii: yes but i wish to use AIGLX [12:31] i installed FGLRX 7.11 [12:32] it seems to work fine in clone mode (except for video) but can't get compiz in bigdesktop [12:32] when I type 'hostname' it returns 'none'.. but I've edited /etc/hostname and added 127.0.0.1 mydomain.com in /etc/hosts. How do I get it to return 'mydomain.com' instead of 'none' when I use the hostname command? [12:32] can anyone help me with my card reader? [12:32] I mean what is the level of importance for keeping your kernel up to date /...? is it critical .. does it matter really if your sys is running well /. is security built into the kernel or is it provided thru other directorys . do some programs need the latest kernel to run appropriately ? etc [12:32] i can't seem to get it working :( [12:33] i have a ricoh card reader on my laptop [12:34] i added a tifm_sd line to my /etc/modules [12:34] but still no use :( [12:35] did you check forum abhi ?? [12:35] abhi: hi. [12:35] You alive? [12:35] not much help :( [12:35] nodz [12:35] thedefender: sorry then, you check out #compiz-fusion? they generally have more ati/compiz experience [12:35] Stevethepirate: yea pretty much i got disconnected network went down [12:35] Does everything on ur Dell work quite well out of the box? [12:35] crush_groove: yea i did that's where i got the idea of adding tifm_sd [12:36] thedefender: i remember some of them talking about big desktop and ati, but that was a while ago [12:36] Stevethepirate: Wifi from Intel works Bluetooth adapter works oob [12:37] Stevethepirate: Compiz effects don't work for X3100. i had to make a work around for it. but now it's working w/o issues [12:37] Stevethepirate: sound card was putting sound only on the headphone jack. found a fix to that and now the external speakers also work [12:38] Stevethepirate: i was just now trying the SD reader and Ubuntu doesn't seem to detect cards put in :( [12:38] Does someone know how to install an AFM font? [12:40] hi, I'm helping someone who had a failure during installation due to a corrupted disc and doesn't seem to have GRUB in some fashion.

[12:48] sharkypl: what usb ide controller are you using? [12:48] Hello ... I have the need to install packages at boot time (looong story) ... is there a sane way to do it? We're using Feisty in a netboot environment (but not ltsp) .... [12:49] kitofhawaii: it's a Zyntec (or something like that, Zytec maybe) ATA + SATA HDD controller for usb [12:50] R-DRIVER III - says the bocx [12:50] box* [12:50] hi all. My root filesystem doesnt show up in df and mount [12:51] it's very strange [12:51] i'm running xubuntu feisty [12:52] Does anyone here use xchat-gnome? I find it to be terrible. [12:52] SharkyPL: that should come up as a standard mass storage device...are the drives formatted? === mrak_ is now known as mrak [12:52] lkolbe: do you mean at installation time? [12:53] lkolbe: like in "pxe install"? [12:53] the xchat-gnome people have ripped the guts out of everything that makes xchat so good [12:53] hello i have upgrade to 7.10 and when i open any window it has no title bar. any suggestions? [12:54] kleftisx, run in a terminal compiz-tray-icon [12:54] and then fix the compiz settings [12:54] DiploCat: yeah I do... and what's so bad about it? [12:54] san|, they got rid of the userlist, and the channel tabs [12:54] ekimus: no, at boot time. We have one netboot image, different setup pcs (the worst difference is different nvidia graphics cards), and use unionfs to have a writeable layer on top of the nfs-root. I mean at boot time like in 'ah OK so I'm this PC and I need that nvidia driver so I install it' [12:54] DiploCat: it says that is not installed [12:54] kitofhawaii: it does as SCSI device sdb [12:54] but mainly... the userlist! just dreadful to have to press a button [12:55] kleftisx: are you using compiz? [12:55] DiploCat: Do you have a support question? [12:55] DiploCat: that's indeed weird.. was wondering about this myself when I just installed it.. [12:55] crdlb: yes [12:55] kleftisx, under System -> Preferences is there a "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings" icon? [12:55] kleftisx: nvidia? [12:55] Pici, ahhh no, do you? [12:56] DiploCat: yes, but is not accessible when i click it does not open [12:56] crdlb: Ati Radeon X1300 [12:56] kleftisx: ugh, run 'ccsm' in a terminal and pastebin the output [12:56] SharkyPL: "sudo fdisk /dev/sdb" does that show any partitions? [12:56] DiploCat: No, I'm here to help. You know you can just install the regular xchat package if you dont like the options that xchat-gnome gives you. [12:56] kleftisx, you have to apt-get "compizconfig-settings-manager" [12:56] I had that same problem! [12:56] Pici, I did. [12:56] Pici, what's your point? [12:57] ... [12:57] kitofhawaii: it says Unable to read /dev/sdb [12:57] kitofhawaii: the problem is, that this HDD is in fact working if I connect it as hard disk drive to another computer [12:57] DiploCat: it was regarding complaining about things without having a point. but thats moot now.

[13:28] thought you guys were pro [13:29] mathias_schnell, try sudo lspci [13:29] thought it was a easy Question just little hard to explain it all in a search engine [13:29] RoCUnreal, its 7 AM monday morning bro [13:29] Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2) [13:29] morning [13:30] I need a driver for that I think because my speakers make clicking sounds when the volume's high [13:30] does anyone know if Keepclean is ok to use on my system [13:30] 8:30am where i am [13:30] mathias_schnell, yip sounds like it . [13:30] i dont see anything of importance in there [13:30] i was kind of thinking [13:31] there was this like X file thing [13:31] i dont remember what its called [13:31] So how would I go about finding a driver or potential fix for my sound problem? [13:31] but it has alot of information on drivers and junk [13:31] xconfig? [13:31] people config it alot [13:31] yea [13:31] its like a text file [13:31] hum...the only thing this found was dead menu links [13:31] yep [13:31] where do i find it? [13:32] RoCUnreal, my knowledge is very limited.. if you are asking a question please be specific .. and If I know anything at all about it I will tell you . [13:32] uhh, o [13:32] I think he was asking where you find xconfig [13:32] zactly [13:32] yea [13:32] ahh [13:32] ok [13:33] im a windows guy ^^ [13:33] RoCUnreal /etc/X11/xorg.conf ??? [13:33] ty lukewarm [13:33] So xorg.conf handles a lot of the drivers and other settings? [13:34] Question: Is there a way to stop windows that cause a bell/alert from glowing in different task trays in different windows? [13:34] mathias_schnell: sort of, yes [13:34] ZummiG777: wow that is a first, I've never heard that one before [13:35] ok so you are getting a sound alert from your desktops? [13:35] how do i save my xorg file? [13:35] depends what you opened it in. [13:35] i didn't use the command propt [13:35] or the console [13:36] i did it from the UI [13:36] same thing, so you opened it in Gedit or something? [13:36] ok did you do (gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf)? if so then just hit save [13:36] Not exactly. If a window calls a 'bell/alert' a task tray icon will appear in whatever window I'm using glowing. [13:36] yea [13:36] file > save? [13:36] Hi there is anybody who has some Dell Inspiron 1420 experience??? i-m experiencing some wireless issues... [13:36] there im in [13:36] weird problem just started occurring today.... occasionally my display shifts like 1px to the left then back to the right, has anyone ever seen that before? [13:37] it's been driving me insane all morning thinking it was my vision [13:37] if you did (sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf) then hit Ctrl X and then y [13:37] gonna go afk [13:37] to restart my pc and junk [13:37] to see if i can get it working [13:38] what's the package name of rhythmbox's lyrics plugin? [13:38] what's sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf do? [13:38] mathias_schnell: opens your xorg.conf file in the nano editor [13:38] oh [13:38] mathias_schnell : it opens xorg.conf in nano [13:39] ZummiG777: a task trey icon? that is the strangest thing. Did you install an application that might be causing this, try to log out and log back in (restart X server) [13:39] that sounds like compiz visual bell or similar [13:39] Well, I had a look at xorg.conf and used the command it gave in it to update xorg, which I ran, but I still seem to have the audio problem. I also noticed no specific 'audio' device was mentioned in the file itself. [13:39] atleast the glow part [13:39] No, this has be happening since day 0 [13:41] Crap, now I can't exit nano editor [13:41] mathias_schnell: type control X [13:41] mathias_schnell: ctrl-x [13:41] ZummiG777: actually that might be the case you might have that enabled in compiz fusion, go into the control panel for compiz fusion and try to disable it [13:41] mathias_schnell lol [13:42] what is the best way to split a large text file into smaller ones using specific tags in the text file? [13:42] for example I want to split on each line that contains "foo" [13:42] <_NiC> my ubuntu tells me there's an update, the package network-manager. When I try to upgrade it however, I get a message saying "dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/network-manager_0.6.5-0ubuntu16.7.10.0_i386.deb (--unpack): [13:42] #SEMARANG [13:42] <_NiC> trying to overwrite `/etc/dbus-1/event.d', which is also in package dbus [13:42] <_NiC> oops, a linebreak too much [13:42] mathias_schnell: to exit nano just hold down the control key and hit X is going to ask you to save it if you want to then Y if no then N [13:42] volk: thats more of a programming question i think. you could write some C code that would read and split at the foos into different files. [13:43] <_NiC> Anyone got a hint on what I can do to fix this file-collision? [13:43] Hi,im planning to test an alternative free open source wireless driver from Intel for my Dell Inspiron1420, but once that the driver is downloaded i got into the folder and read the INSTALL file... when following the steps it says that i should do "sudo make" in order to begin compiling the driver for my system, but when i do that i got this message [13:43] cocox@dell:~/Desktop/iwlwifi-1.0.0-1/iwlwifi-1.0.0-1$ sudo make [13:43] Makefile:20: [13:43] Makefile:21: WARNING: $SHELL not set to bash.

[13:43] the best solution would of course be to use shell commands [13:44] <_NiC> Can I just remove the event.d-file perhaps, and allow network-manager to recreate it, or would that break something? [13:44] volk: You'll probably get a really quick answer if you ask in #bash [13:45] _NiC: I wouldnt remove it. just rename to event.d.backup or something [13:47] Allright guys now with pastebin... im planning to test an alternative free open source wireless driver from Intel for my Dell Inspiron1420, but once that the driver is downloaded i got into the folder and read the INSTALL file... when following the steps it says that i should do "sudo make" in order to begin compiling the driver for my system, but when i do that i got this message http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48674/ [13:48] where is the bash $PATH environment variable set at?

I _hate_ it and when I'm trying to install ant, for example, aptitude wants me to install ant-gcj. However, I do _not_ want ant to use gcj. Is there a way to install Java's SDK from the repo instead of gcj? [13:53] Anyone know where the system sound effects files are stored? [13:53] I already downloaded the SDK from Sun's website and it's in my PATH... [13:54] lucian .bashrc [13:54] ffm, looks like they're in /usr/share/sounds [13:55] i think i found it at /etc/environment also [13:55] arthur_kalm: not the "Boing" noise [13:55] arthur_kalm: install the java packages from the repository that you want then do this: `sudo update-alternatives --config java` and pick a different java version [13:55] lucian: there is no /etc/enviorment [13:55] Pici, thank you! [13:55] hai [13:55] it shows up for me [13:56] arthur_kalm, you can install sun java by apt getting sun-java6-jre and then: update-alternatives --config java [13:56] i can has cheezburgr [13:56] PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games" [13:56] dho [13:56] good morning -- my latest install of kubuntu is givingme a bit fo fits -- im on gusty ( i think) and for some reason, the splash screens are not working on my laptop [13:56] thats in my /etc/environment [13:56] can someone point me in the right direction? [13:56] RatThing, thank you :) [13:56] lucian: /etc/environment will change it for all users, which may not be what you want. [13:56] ah, ok. yes, all users is what i was going for [13:57] .bashrc in ~/ is for an individual basis? [13:57] I have a question about a backup script I'm running on Ubuntu Server 7.10. If, in the crontab file, I invoke the script as "nice -n 15 /path/to/backup.script", will all the processes STARTED BY the script have a nice value of 15? [13:57] Schiz0: IIRC, yes [13:57] ffm: Alrighty, thanks [13:57] lucian, that is my understanding [13:57] lucian: Yes. since its in ~/ (home) [13:58] Is it possible to find out what the "default" nice value is? I just want to run backups at a lower priority than mysql/apache [13:58] And I'm not sure what nice vvalue apache/mysql run as [13:58] and then i can use "source /etc/environment" to reload the environment table instead of login/out? [13:58] arthur_kalm: I usually install java dev stuff to /opt/ make a symlint /opt/java -> /opt/..... and use /etc/environment to set the necessary stuff. This way by just changing a symlink I can switch java versions (which I need to do quite often because clients require different minor version numbers) - just my recipe for that [13:59] s/symlint/symlink [13:59] Schiz0: I know htop will show you what the current nice value of a process is. [14:00] Pici: Ok, that would work...thanks [14:00] hai [14:00] Schiz0: default nice is 0.... and yes all subprocess will inherit the nice value of the calling process [14:00] !torrent [14:00] Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P === ce_siplah is now known as co_imut [14:01] ekimus, so you don't install it from the repos then? [14:01] lucien, are you changing the path for all users or just one user? [14:02] ekimus: One more quick questions, the nice manpage says -n ADDs to the nice value...if I wanted to run something at a higher priority, would I do -n -5 ? To subtract 5 from the nice value? [14:03] Hey, I'm trying to set up bootable ubuntu or kubuntu USB . I need to boot it so I can copy some data from cdrom to hdd, and then reboot back to debian. For some reason (namely Asus P5K SE / Marvel chipset) Debian doesn't recognize my dvd drive. Kubuntu does. So I try to boot kubuntu and ubuntu from USB . No chance ! It acts as if the Kingston 2GB pendrive was not there. I tried many ways, syslinux, grub, fixing MBR - nothing works. I followed [14:03] kako si [14:03] s [14:03] Schiz0: yes [14:03] What could I possibly do wrong ? Why does Debian boot from the stick but not Kubuntu / Ubuntu ? [14:03] Schiz0: Higher priority = lower numbers. [14:03] !install > b0rsuk (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [14:03] Schiz0: you can also use renice to set the prio after you have launched the program [14:03] b0rsuk: There should be some information there about setting up a boot live stick. [14:04] Alright, thanks. I just wanted to make sure putting a negative number would have it subtract (and not have it think it's another switch) [14:04] hello dudes, i am having a problem to detect my cd/dvd driver in ubuntu, when i install the ubuntu detects itś like sda atapi: hl-dt-st dvdram gma-4082N but before install the ubuntu, the system doesnt detect the driver [14:04] Pici : I followed those informations exactly, and read troubleshooting section, but there's nothing relevant. [14:04] Schiz0: Well, it wont subtract, it will set the nice value to that negative number (unless theres a specific subtract argument I'm forgetting) [14:04] Err, exactly means, of course, changing the letter in examples to the right one ! [14:05] b0rsuk: Of course. [14:05] How about other distros ? What distros would you recommend for livecd (from USB !) [14:05] hello, I am noticing that my evoltuion is hogging all my CPU cycles ofter (once a minute). Is there a bug raised against it? [14:06] Bonus points if it doesn't require another 2 hours of setting up. [14:06] hey anyone running ubuntu on vmware running on vista? [14:07] b0rsuk: I unfortunately don't have any experience doing this, have you checked on the forums as well? [14:07] What distros are good for booting from USB ? Not installing, just live mode. Pici : Not yet. [14:07] on firefox, whenever I open http://abock.org/scratch/files/GummyGilouche.tar.gz , text just come out of the page and the file is not downloaded while the file is downloaded in konqueror [14:07] what can I do with firefox?

[14:07] !gtk [14:07] GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI [14:07] I know there's a problem with persistency (meaning without extra hacks you can't write on your pendrive in live mode) but my problem is it doesn't boot AT ALL.

I dont see a package for it in the repos. But thats by no means a definate word of whether it will work or not. [14:20] elliotjhug: Perhaps try asking in #ubuntu-server as well. [14:20] Pici: Maybe - I'll have a go] [14:22] How can I disable my desktop showing any files/folders [14:22] gorilla3d: remind the files/folders from the desktop? [14:22] s/remind/remove/ [14:23] Is gtkglextmm not in Gutsy, or am I missing something? [14:23] gorilla3d: just don't put any files/folders on your dekstop: that folder exists for the purpose of showing those files so if you don't want that, don't use it [14:23] Evanlec: I also have a lot of netplaces on there I can remove unless I unmount them [14:24] I have like 24 ftp folders on my desktop ~_~ [14:24] and cant remove them unless I unmount them [14:24] gorilla3d: start gconf-editor and then apps/nautilus/desktop uncheck "network_icon_visible" [14:26] gorilla3d: lemmie know if it worked [14:26] t-Omicr0n: its already disabled hm.. [14:27] gorilla3d: Theres also a key in there for drawing the desktop at all, but then I'm not sure if your wallpaper shows up. [14:27] Oh I disabled visible drive and that for rid of the ftp folders [14:27] does anyone know a nice alternative for the ipod that does work well with ubuntu? [14:28] sq89: Check the Maxfield players. [14:29] gorilla3d: yes, I'm sorry, it was "volumes_visible" instead of "network_icon_visible" [14:29] hello [14:29] can someone please help me with installing my new wacom bamboo tablet? [14:29] dra|work: looks shiny, thanks :-) [14:29] sq89: No problem. [14:29] hey [14:29] i need help plz [14:29] !ask | MAHE [14:29] :P so do I [14:29] MAHE: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [14:30] * dra|work gives some help to MAHE [14:30] i have got a lappy and a pc [14:30] !enter [14:30] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [14:30] and an ethernet cable [14:30] how do i connect the 2 for file sharing? [14:30] ok [14:30] MAHE, do you have a router? [14:30] MAHE: are they bth connected to a network? [14:30] both* [14:31] i have got lan cards [14:31] and ethernet cable [14:31] >.> [14:31] MAHE: it will not work [14:31] yeah doesn't work that easy [14:31] MAHE: the cable is not 'crossover' [14:31] MAHE: If it's a crossover cable, it works without switch/hub. [14:31] you need a crossover atleast [14:31] how do i know if it is a crossover? [14:31] i goes inside lan card [14:31] MAHE: its not trsut me [14:31] So, anyone can help me with a compiling problem? [14:31] its not common for it to be crossover [14:31] peppers: Perhaps. [14:31] oh no [14:31] hi [14:31] my keyboard caps lock and scroll lock keys keep blinking when running after rdp connection over vpn. [14:31] My Ubuntu is running on vmware on Vista. [14:31] Any one else faced this problem and any suggestions as to what might be wrong? [14:31] if its cross over it wont work with your switch [14:31] peppers: Not unless I know the problem. ;) [14:31] I bought the wacom bamboo tablet [14:32] hi [14:32] and I was trying to install the drivers [14:32] configure make and make install went well [14:32] MAHE, do you also use a router beside the lan card and cable? [14:32] still:::is there any way i can transfer files from one to another? [14:32] why does my mozilla crash? [14:32] but I can't find the wacom.ko file in src/2.6.19 [14:32] what is a router...how does it look like..i may have it?? [14:32] arnis: because firefox sucks [14:32] brb [14:32] MAHE: a box with many ports [14:32] MAHE, a box that connects more then 1 computers through lan cables [14:32] how can i download another internet browser? [14:32] * dra|work patiently awaits epiphany/webkit [14:32] oh no..i havent got anything like that [14:33] arnis: synaptic package manager [14:33] MAHE, check the rj45 connector and see if the cable colors are in the same order, if they are, it is not a crossover cable [14:33] Hey guys I have a: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15 [GeForce2 GTS/Pro] (rev a4) [14:33] arnis, if in gutsy sudo apt-get install opera [14:33] arnis: search for 'web browser' [14:33] Then isnt there anyway i can transfer?> [14:33] arnis: add/remove in your ubuntu menu [14:33] when I type glxgears I get: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [14:33] Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual [14:33] ok roaksoax..leme check [14:33] MAHE: not between two computers without a crossover cable [14:33] student: glxinfo | grep vendor [14:33] so anyone can help me find where the .ko file went? [14:33] MAHE: normally the network has one or more switches to connect the copmuters together [14:33] arnis: install opera or epiphany [14:33] MAHE, the 2 computers have to be on the same network. You can make a network by connecting them to a router of by using a direct link through a crossover cable [14:34] peppers: What does the install log say? [14:34] peppers: Sounds like you need the kernel source. [14:34] is the cable which we use for normal broadband connectrion..is it a crossover? [14:34] i`m trying [14:34] ok [14:34] MAHE, nope [14:34] ok [14:34] MAHE: no [14:34] dra|work, Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [14:34] Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visu [14:34] dra|work, where can I find the install log? [14:34] and Pici /usr/src/linux-headers* is there [14:35] also, i'm using kernel 2.6.20 [14:35] can i connect them somehow, using a broadband modem? [14:35] student: Ah, sorry about that. Are you loading the corresponding module in the xorg.conf? [14:35] peppers: What does the output of -r say? [14:35] MAHE: if the 'modem' has more than one port and its a switch/router es [14:35] dra|work, not sure. how can I check? [14:35] peppers: In your output stream, for example. [14:35] uname -r? 2.6.20-16-386 [14:35] student: Query? [14:35] ? [14:35] MAHE, do both pc's have internet connection through your broadhand modem? [14:36] no [14:36] but can they? [14:36] I was following this tuturial: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=601143 [14:36] peppers: You said before that it was looking for src/2.6.19, thats not the right kernel version. [14:36] i mean..i have got only 1 modem [14:36] MAHE: does it have more than one point [14:36] uhg [14:36] MAHE, if you had a router they will [14:36] dra|work, should I pastebin my xorg.conf? [14:36] MAHE: does it have more than one port [14:36] one usb and 1 ethernet [14:36] MAHE: sorry no [14:36] what is the name of software: "http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1763468" ? [14:36] Pici, the 2.6.20 folder doesn't exist in the wacom drivers folder [14:36] student: Do that. [14:36] only 2.6.9 trough 2.6.19 === jussi01 is now known as jussio1 [14:37] MAHE, then you should get a router/switch to connect to the modem through an ethernet cable and then connect both computer on one of the ports [14:37] So this ethernet cable s useless except for broadband purposes? [14:37] ok [14:37] MAHE, you will need to have a crossover cable then, the only solution unless you buy a router [14:37] MAHE: most cables are used to connect computers to the switch or the modem [14:37] MAHE: not to each other directly [14:37] oh [14:37] so...what should I do? [14:37] are these cable costlier?> [14:37] they shouldnt be [14:37] just not common [14:38] so why cant they not serve both purposes [14:38] i mean broaband and direct connection [14:38] because crossover cables have their wires switched [14:38] oh ok [14:38] it has to do with wiring [14:38] MAHE, mostly they arent but you have an internet connection on both pc's if you use a router/switch, so you have a second benefit [14:38] dra|work, http://pastebin.com/m32f0eaa5 [14:38] MAHE, when your are connecting 2 different networking devices together, you need the cable you have, but since you want to connect equal networking devices you need a crossover [14:38] herm, anyone? [14:39] peppers: I'm looking [14:39] oh sorry [14:39] I'm just kind of sad it won't work :( [14:39] Oh..that explains me quite well [14:39] where can i download the opera browser? [14:39] arnis: synaptic package manager [14:39] arnis: it is in the ubuntu software repositories [14:39] student: Could you paste your error log, too? [14:39] Thanx RoadSoax, EvanR, KenSentMe [14:40] peppers: I can't get my graphire3 to work in Ubuntu either (its a different issue that yours though) [14:40] i go to the synaptic package manager and what there i need to do? [14:40] u were very kind [14:40] bye [14:40] cya [14:40] no problem MAHE [14:40] arnis: search for opera [14:40] bye [14:40] ikonia: Good morning :) [14:40] dra|work, which error log? Where can I find that? [14:40] Pici: morining [14:40] ye that sucks :( I may have to update to gutsy [14:40] student: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [14:40] peppers: I'm not sure if that will help, you may need to do some research first. [14:41] he found something [14:41] I think it's just a lack of kernel support issue. [14:41] maybe it was dumb to update to new kernel [14:41] arnis: install it [14:41] dra|work, http://pastebin.com/m3d02ad0f [14:41] how? [14:41] peppers: You had no way of knowing. [14:41] i`m a noob [14:41] ye [14:41] arnis: make sure its checked, and then click apply [14:42] student: Ok. You have xserver-xgl installed, right? [14:42] peppers: Although this looks like it might help : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=626415&highlight=bamboo [14:42] <_NiC> I'm doing an upgrade of network-manager, and when it does the "Reloading system message bus config..." I get this error: Failed to open connection to system message bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory", followed by "invoke-rc.d: initscript dbus, action "force-reload" failed.". How can I fix this? [14:42] dra|work, let me see. sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl? [14:42] student: No, it is already installed. [14:42] thanks pice, going to take a look [14:42] dra|work, ok [14:42] and now what? [14:43] student: Though I think compositing should work on nvidia without xserver-xgl. [14:43] arnis: if you did that, and it finished, then its installed [14:43] and where is it? [14:43] the opera [14:43] student: You could try uninstalling it, but no guarantees, of course. [14:43] arnis: the shortcut to run it is probably in your menu [14:43] dra|work, it's not installed. I tried it in terminal [14:43] and it's asking me to install [14:43] !enter [14:43] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [14:43] student: Ok. [14:43] well it's showing under NEW packages [14:44] student: What's the output of xdpyinfo | grep -i comp? [14:44] there`s no shortcut [14:44] Composite [14:44] dra|work, Composite [14:45] arnis: oh really, well you can run it by tpying opera in your terminal, or pressure alt-f2 then type opera, or make your own shortcut (needs to use command 'opera') [14:45] student: Ok. What does xdpyinfo | grep -i glx say? [14:45] Hi,guys [14:45] hi [14:45] dra|work, NV-GLX [14:45] how are all? [14:45] hehe [14:45] ss [14:45] Pici, my problem is that in /home/username/Desktop/linuxwacom-*/src/2.* there's no wacom.ko or wacom.o [14:45] oh [14:45] this is bad channel [14:46] ?????/ [14:46] rosja: This is the Ubuntu Support Channel. [14:46] hi I have just plugged my printer, but cannnot make it work. How do I configure it? No Driver CD :/ [14:46] student: (EE) GLX is not supported with the Composite extension [14:46] the subject for this irc-channel have the text "Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads"... so how do I unbreak it? that is, make flash work? [14:46] this is good channel [14:46] student: You could try disabling the "Composite" extension in your xorg.conf. [14:46] yubwyub: You wait until the package is fixed. [14:46] Is there a specific reason for gtkglextmm not being in the reps? [14:47] aha. can I hope it will be fixed before 21 dec? [14:47] l [14:47] l [14:47] l [14:47] dra|work, I don't see composite anywhere in my xorg.conf [14:47] vasco: stop.

Were are the sessions specified? [14:48] EvanR: Do you know why this happens? [14:48] idzied: check your cups log? [14:48] student: Then put Option "Composite" "no" in the Modules section. [14:48] Pici: go fuck your crapy mother [14:48] EvanR: Where is it? [14:48] vasco: bye [14:48] Pici: i will reape his ass and i will reape you after [14:48] bye vasco [14:48] idzied, what printer do you have? [14:49] idzied: logs are in /var/log [14:49] hi everybody :) i'm having trouble getting GRUB to work on an old machine with scsi disks :( [14:49] dra|work, under "Section "Module"? cause everything under that starts with "Load" [14:49] student: Hold on! My bad. Make a new Section "Extensions". Disable it in there. [14:49] EvanR: a Canon Pixma i1700 [14:49] ok [14:49] yubwyub: a Canon Pixma i1700 [14:49] student: Beware though that compiz won't work anymore then. [14:49] dra|work, what's compiz? [14:49] student: The shiny window manager. [14:50] ..? [14:50] student:?? [14:50] EvanR: There are many files starting with cups. Wich is the one to look at? [14:50] so if anybody here happened to know anything about GRUB and scsi disks... [14:50] idzied: something with the word log in it [14:50] omg [14:50] howlingmadhowie, probably some at #grub can help if you can't find anyone here. (but the people at #grub are verry slow to answer) [14:51] howlingmadhowie: Explain the problem, please... [14:51] hey people [14:51] i was just here [14:51] yubwyub: okay, i'll look there too :) [14:51] student: its the fancy graphical interface with spinning cubes etc? [14:51] oh ok [14:51] i just wanted to ask..you were talking of a router..i have a dsl modem, is that what u call a router? [14:51] dra|work, so is this fine? Section "Extensions" [14:51] Option "Composite" "no" [14:51] EndSection [14:51] nicoAMG: well, the installation of ubuntu server edition went fine. but the system doesn't boot. it stops just before the grub menu usually comes up [14:51] MAHE: no [14:52] student, compiz i the thing that makes 3D-window/desktop effects. "the cube"-desktopswitcher etc [14:52] Pici, good news! I had done something wrong. wacom.o is there now :D [14:52] MAHE: thats a dsl modem, but it does manage your traffic [14:52] peppers: yay. [14:52] student: Yes. If you have the guts, try restarting X. [14:52] oh o [14:52] ohk* [14:52] so can use it for connecting 2 pc's? [14:52] I'll let you know if it works [14:52] MAHE: not really no [14:52] dra|work, I can always go back to normal right? by deleting those lines? [14:52] MAHE: a switch connects your computers together into a network, a router may do the same thing but provide a firewall [14:52] student: Yes. [14:52] not no? [14:52] kk [14:52] means yes!!>??? [14:52] brb [14:52] MAHE: no, you can't [14:53] MAHE: a modem only allows you a connection over the phone line [14:53] no [14:53] it is a dsl modem [14:53] not a dialup [14:53] same thing [14:53] MAHE: it doesn't matter, it will not do what you want [14:53] dsl uses the phone line its just higher tech [14:53] but my modem has 2 conections-ethernet and usb [14:53] its not a router or switch [14:53] can i connect one of the pc's to 1 and other to ?? [14:53] MAHE: I'll say it one last time "it will not do what you want" [14:53] ok ikonia [14:54] howlingmadhowie: Is there some anti-virus or MBR boot sector protection in the BIOS? [14:55] nicoAMG: thats nothing to do with ubuntu [14:55] dra|work, back [14:55] nicoAMG: erm, i don't think so. it's a pretty old pc (pentium II) [14:55] ikonia: What thing? [14:55] nicoAMG: bios protection [14:55] ikonia: hello [14:56] alexborsova: ahh hello [14:56] alexborsova: your cpu timing issue is quite awkward [14:56] EvanR: Found some dirvers for the printer, i hope they are gonna work [14:56] Can anyone recommend an irc client that has autojoin (on invite) or options to execute commands on connecting to network? [14:56] ikonia: yes, tell me about it [14:56] dra|work, is there any command to check if it worked? [14:56] Zyelar: pretty much any of them do that, xchat or konversation? [14:56] Zyelar: most irc clients have that, xchat, irssi.... etc. [14:56] alexborsova: most of the research I found last night for your case pointed towards either power managment or overclocking, and you've not overclocked and you can't disable power managment [14:56] ikonia: do you think there's anything I can do to make Ubuntu work on my laptop? [14:56] I'm using Xchat but i cant seem to find these features :) [14:57] Zyelar: #xchat [14:57] ikonia: I'm not overclocking [14:57] student: glxinfo | grep vendor [14:57] alexborsova: is the problem only happening with your install or does it happen on the livecd too (I can't remember) [14:57] dra|work, server glx vendor string: SGI [14:57] client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation [14:57] OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation [14:57] ikonia: the live cd works only if I use the vga=771 option [14:57] student: glxgears [14:57] Zyelar: The normal xchat package has a field for channels you join on connect on the servers window. [14:57] alexborsova: oooh, thats interesting [14:57] Pici, ok thank you. I'll keep on looking on this. [14:57] dra|work, it goes smooth for a couple of seconds and then gets choppy [14:58] ikonia: I think I tiold you, if I use the (recovery mode) ffrom grub, I can type "startx" and that works [14:58] hey people plz forgive me...but my dsl modem is a router [14:58] dra|work, 23466 frames in 6.1 seconds = 3868.257 FPS [14:58] 4746 frames in 5.1 seconds = 931.342 FPS [14:58] 4746 frames in 5.1 seconds = 929.501 FPS [14:58] *told [14:58] it says on its cover [14:58] student: The choppiness doesn't matter. [14:58] is there any way to improve fonts appearance in Gusty? [14:58] adsl 2 + router [14:58] ikonia: but when I use the default option that comes up in syslog and I get a blank screen [14:58] ikonia, ahh, this not applies to SCSI disks, just for IDE ones... [14:58] !ro [14:58] Daca doriti ajutor sau doriti sa discutati despre Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu, intrati pe #ubuntu-ro [14:58] alexborsova: what happens if you do that on that on your install [14:58] MAHE: Can you please not use your enter key as punctuation, it makes it very hard to keep up. [14:58] ikonia: what? [14:58] you may check the model--dlink glb 502t router [14:58] ok pici [14:59] student: What card do you have? [14:59] ikonia hey [/me is ipiz] :) [14:59] ikonia: I was talking aobut my install [14:59] when I started ubuntu today I got an error message (that translate to english would be "Error in CUPS-server" "There was a error at CUPS-opertaion "server-error-service-unavailable"." if I understand right CUPS is the part of ubuntu that handles printing, but why do I get that error message when I start the computer? (I don't try to print automaticly at system start...) [14:59] alexborsova: can you apply vga= options to you install [14:59] dra|work, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15 [GeForce2 GTS/Pro] (rev a4) [14:59] ikonia: yes, it doesn't help [14:59] howlingmadhowie: at boot time the GRUB menu appears on screen or not? [14:59] alexborsova: didn't think so, it was a long shot [14:59] ikonia: I don't think the problem is with xserver [14:59] alexborsova: as a die issue have you tried googling your exact tablet model number and "linux" [14:59] ikonia: or with gdm [14:59] but ikonia...u said that my dsl modem is not a router, turns out that it is [14:59] nicoAMG: nope, it doesn't get that far. it just displays one word: "GRUB " and then stops [15:00] gksu and gksudo are broken on my gutsy install [15:00] alexborsova: just to see if anything is known running on it [15:00] ikonia: yes, all that comes up is product results from google [15:00] MAHE: a dsl modem is not a router [15:00] nicoAMG: so the MBR is being found, but the MBR can't find the partitions [15:00] dra|work, is there still something wrong? [15:00] alexborsova: anything related to linux [15:00] it says so [15:00] student: Ok, then it seems to work. Having such an ancient card would also explain why compositing won't work together with GLX. [15:00] MAHE: then it's not a modem [15:00] student: Nah, seems all right. [15:00] oh [15:00] alright thanks a lot [15:00] No problem. [15:00] it says ADSL 2 + Router [15:00] MAHE: then it's a router - not a modem [15:00] i downloaded opera browser. how do i install it? [15:01] it says this when I enable debuggin (-d): No password prompt found; we'll assume we don't need a password. [15:01] howlingmadhowie: Hmm, or GRUB installation was unsucessful.. [15:01] i use it to connect to internet also [15:01] arnis: you don't you get it from the ubuntu software repositories [15:01] or should I report the error-message as a bug at the bugreporting-webpage? (so it will be fixed to next version of ubuntu... horny hamster......) [15:01] !opera | arnis [15:01] arnis: opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser [15:01] MAHE It's a router with built-in modem [15:01] nicoAMG: maybe... but i really don't want to go there... [15:01] howlingmadhowie: How old is the SCSI disk on the system? [15:01] arnis: did you download the .deb? [15:01] well pegasus? [15:01] MAHE: what do you actually want ? [15:02] yes .deb [15:02] i want to connect my laptop and pc using ethernet cable, usb and adsl 2 + router [15:02] nicoAMG: maybe 8 years. using a rescue cd i can mount it and stuff and it works fine, however [15:02] hello, is there any way to improve fonts appearance in Gusty? [15:02] how can i? [15:02] MAHE: speak to your router vendor, that is nothing to do with ubuntu [15:02] lamalex, yes .deb [15:02] arnis: open synaptic, search for opera and click install [15:02] MAHE It should work out of the box, router is platform-independent. [15:02] !synaptic > arnis [15:02] Anybody know why ubuntu starts up with maximum connection to my wireless, then drops to around 10%. [15:03] pegasus: It may not support both usb and ethernet [15:03] howlingmadhowie: Then disk partitions are o.k.... [15:03] kleftisx: you can modify the font antialiasing in System>Preferences>Appearance>Fonts [15:03] arnis: just double click the deb and gdebi will open, click install [15:03] ikonia He's talking about plugging a machine in rj45 port, with rj45 cable. [15:03] lamalex: no - don't advise external package, opera is in the repo's suggest that [15:03] pegasus: and one into usb at the same time [15:03] kleftisx: install msstcorefonts [15:03] ikonia: the package has a bug, flash doesn't work [15:03] nicoAMG: oh hang on, i've found something about lba mode in scsi cards being problematic... [15:03] lamalex: thats not a bug, flash install package has a bug that is being resolved [15:04] lamalex: see topic [15:04] lamalex: thats nothing to do with opera [15:04] bazhang: how to install them? [15:04] ikonia: with the the latest opera beta, the problem is resolved [15:04] i have ubuntu 5.10 [15:04] ha oh [15:04] lamalex: no it's not as the flash package will still not download and install [15:04] arnis: 5.10 is no longer supported. [15:04] !5.10 | arnis [15:04] arnis: Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) was the third release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 13, 2007. See !eol for more details. [15:04] :( [15:05] where can i update? [15:05] howlingmadhowie: Search for file /boot/grub/menu.lst... Whats your partition layout? === cryptnix- is now known as cryptnix [15:05] nicoAMG: grub isn't getting far enough to read it. [15:05] so can anyone help me with broken gksu and gksudo? [15:05] is it possible to update my ubuntu 5.10 ?? [15:05] arnis: You can update, but I highly suggest just backing up and installing a more recent version. We do not support upgrading without going through every inbetween version. [15:06] ouu [15:06] how do I make my desktop icons larger? [15:06] i mean, selected icons only [15:06] lamalex: Whats broken about it? [15:06] kleftisx: do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed? I believe they are in that package--need to enable partner repos for that [15:06] wers scretch the icons. [15:06] nicoAMG: and as far as i know, it's okay as well :) [15:06] pegasus, how do i do that? [15:06] Pici: it never prompts me for my password, so any app that asks for it never launches [15:07] oooh [15:07] got it [15:07] :) [15:07] Pici: it says this when I enable debuggin (-d): No password prompt found; we'll assume we don't need a password. [15:07] nicoAMG: okay, let's see if it works now :) [15:07] wers right-click the icon > scretch icon. [15:07] howlingmadhowie: You can use the Ubuntu Install CD to recovery the system [15:07] bazhang: i have it installed [15:07] [15:07] nicoAMG: that's what i'm doing :) [15:07] lamalex: What version of Ubuntu are you running? And have you installed any non-ubuntu packages? automatix? [15:07] Hi:) [15:07] Searching for wisdom i am [15:08] gaelik: found Ubuntu Support channel you have. [15:08] Pici: nope [15:08] Pici: Good Morning (for Me anyhow) [15:08] Pici: 7.10 [15:08] Jack_Sparrow: you too. [15:08] hehehe [15:08] kleftisx: sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts [15:08] Pici, about updating, there should be support in the long-time-support -versions of ubuntu to update directly between them, right? [15:08] lamalex: Have you unlocked the root account? and is your user in the admin group? [15:09] yubwyub: Yes, Hardy is being designed to allow an upgrade straight from Dapper. [15:09] gaelik: What sort of wisdom do you seek [15:09] bazhang: already installed to newer version [15:09] nicoAMG: yuh-huh! it works! it was some stupid bios setting in the scsi card :) [15:09] yubwyub: you can't skip versions when upgrading [15:09] howlingmadhowie: Using the recovery option, you can access the root filesystem, change the GRUB's configuration file, regenerate device map and reinstall GRUB at MBR [15:09] ......my boss..... [15:09] http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/05/21/300-easily-installed-free-fonts-for-ubuntu/ kleftisx [15:09] come back in a sec [15:09] cyrano: The plan is to allow upgrades from one LTS to another without using the intermediate releaes. [15:10] thanks jack and pici [15:10] cyrano: Not so far but the plan is to be able to go from lts to lts versions [15:10] howlingmadhowie: Good! [15:10] kleftisx: that should satisfy you (hopefully) :} [15:10] ah. thats good [15:10] how to configure ati Radeon Xpress 200 Host Bridge? [15:10] howlingmadhowie: The system is booting up now? [15:10] Jack_Sparrow: for Hardy allready? or after hardy and in the future? [15:10] cyrano: Hardy is LTS, just like 6.06 was. [15:11] cyrano: from dapper to Hardy [15:11] good news [15:11] nicoAMG: so if anybody asks again, tell them to have a look at the scsi-card bios settings :) it's now booted :) here a fitting comment: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-faq.html#q14 [15:11] cyrano: THere are some issues to deal with.. and they are being delt with at a level far far above me. [15:12] how to configure ati Radeon Xpress 200 Host Bridge? [15:12] howlingmadhowie: alright, thanks. [15:12] ajay_: Please be patient.. not many have a clue about what you want to do.. and repeating will just get ou ignored [15:12] nicoAMG: i'll write a reply to some bug-reports as well, because nobody seems to have looked for that [15:13] k [15:13] Does anyone know whether there are plans in Ubuntu to drop APT and adopt Conary? [15:13] livingdaylight: there is not [15:13] livingdaylight: nope === lmr_ is now known as lmr[A] [15:13] heh [15:13] why not? [15:13] livingdaylight: why ? [15:13] livingdaylight: there is no plans - so it doesn't matter [15:13] Conary is superior to APT [15:14] what does lsof actually display ? [15:14] livingdaylight: thats your opionion, which your welcome to [15:14] livingdaylight: This is not a place for that discussion.. sorry.. this is the delp desk [15:14] crush_groove: "list open files" [15:14] ikonia, sorry, i thought it was a well-known fact [15:14] livingdaylight: no, it's not. It's your opinion only [15:14] howlingmadhowie: Was about INT 13 extension at SCSI BIOS? [15:15] livingdaylight: If you want to discuss Hardy, you can join us in #ubuntu+1 [15:15] ikonia, not just mine.... a lot of people say it is a fact [15:15] livingdaylight: If something does PROVE to be superior, they will certainly look at using it. That good enough.. [15:15] nicoAMG: exactly [15:15] livingdaylight: more so it's not - so by your logic your wrong [15:15] livingdaylight: this is a support channel [15:15] anybody help me for configuring giFT [15:15] ty ikonia .. what would be some reasons Id be lookin in there ikonia ? because the list is huge [15:15] !ot | livingdaylight [15:15] livingdaylight: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [15:15] crush_groove: I don't actually know what your trying to do, if you explain I can help [15:15] come to #offtopic livingdaylight :} [15:16] ikonia, Im just learning . trying to sort in my mind this particular command . I have no real issue atm [15:16] crush_groove: ok, well basiclly it lists files that are "open" (in use) on the system [15:16] how could i now wich compiler do i have installed???? [15:16] c compiler [15:17] gcc -v ? [15:17] cc -v [15:17] neither gcc or cc are found [15:17] cocox: You can look in synaptic or get a list of installed packages and find it in there.. or you can tell us what you are trying to do or compile [15:17] Pici: yes [15:18] !clone [15:18] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [15:18] Pici: root in enabled and my user has admin priveleges [15:18] s/in/is [15:18] Jack_Sparrow , ikonia im trying to see if i have a compiler installed for compile C code [15:18] cocox: cc -v [15:19] hey ikonia [15:19] ikonia, allright its done! thank you [15:19] cocox: no problem [15:19] MAHE: what ?

[15:20] MAHE: no, as it's nothing to do with ubuntu, you need to speak to your router vendor as I said earlier [15:20] ok ok [15:20] thanks anyway [15:20] bye [15:20] MAHE: Once you get both plugged into the router and they can both see the internet, then we can talk. [15:21] how can I scan for a wifi card if its working ? [15:22] ikonia: MInd if I pm for a sec [15:22] Jack_Sparrow: sure [15:22] Jack_Sparrow: any time [15:22] Pici: any idea? It isn't a show stopper, it's just annoying to have to open up the command line for anything administrative [15:22] how can I scan for a wifi card if its working ? So I can see what interface do I use [15:23] anybody help me for configuring giFT [15:24] frojnd Mostly like, it'll use wlan0, if you have one wireless connection. [15:24] I have a problem with my system. It just stops working after I start open arena game [15:24] frojnd-> iwconfig will normally tell you which interface is wireless [15:24] hi [15:25] i'm using ubuntu gutsy and i've installed emerald. How do I activate a theme from the emerald theme manager?

[15:32] thank you nico. i'll look your link [15:32] yes bazhang [15:33] FLUxXxX: We have a link that covers ati.. but if you have tried lots of other things first, it could compound the problem [15:33] SpookyET that will mean installing a newer version of the fglrx driver, than gutsy includes. You can either do this manually or using a tool like "envy", none ar esupported in here really :< [15:33] #compiz-fusion FLUxXxX === lanterna8 is now known as peppers [15:33] how do i enable an emerald theme?

Again, could you link me please. [15:34] Jack_Sparrow so is manually installing the fglrx drivers, there is no better method at the moment unless backporting fglrx? [15:34] but i remember 5 months ago i tried to install the ati driver and didn't work but i followed like 5 guides and none worked.

[15:43] giulio: type atz [15:43] strabes: No, I have the nVidia GeForce Go 7400 from the same series. [15:43] giulio: followed by enter of course [15:43] i have just installed ubuntu 7.10 ,How can i make sure that my installtion was ok ? [15:44] anas: Log in? [15:44] anas: any special problems to report? [15:44] protobion: how does it work? Are you using the restricted drivers? Suspend/hibernate? [15:44] Jack_Sparrow: i tried to type atz in screen, but i see nothing, btw i dont know screen [15:45] protobion: I made the mistake of getting the ATI mobility x1400 and i'm trying to decide if switching the card is worth $360 [15:45] giulio: Then that isnt the right port Use ctrl-A then K to kill the modem terminal [15:45] there was a massege while installing about secrity updates . my brother installed it and he told me that ? what should i do ?? [15:46] anas: did you install them? [15:46] anas: Should be fine.... It normally updates after an install [15:46] anas: unless you tell us the message there is not much to be done [15:46] strabes: It works fine, yes I am using restricted drivers, suspend/hibernate is ok. The only problem is that it has a hard time getting correct resolutions for different monitors that I connect to it. But this problem was there even when I was using the unrestricted drivers, so I dont believe it to be related to the card. [15:46] protobion: probably an ubuntu problem huh [15:46] giulio: from terminal type lspci and look for the modem [15:47] strabes: Perhaps , the legendary multiple monitor, xorg.conf issues. [15:47] i dont know the massege was a error message i don't know what it was . [15:47] Jack_Sparrow: 00:03.1 Serial controller: Xircom Mini-PCI V.90 56k Modem [15:47] right [15:47] does gusty have a firewall.... my downloader keeps telling me im behind 1 and ide like to exception this program [15:47] should i reinstall it ? [15:48] anas: unless you have some serious problems no [15:48] anas: If you can't provide us with what the window said, we can't really help you. Chances are you will get the same message if you reinstall. [15:48] strabes: Why do you consider the ATI mobility a mistake? [15:48] strabes: out of curiosity... [15:49] how do I change my resolution in 6.06 [15:49] Jack_Sparrow: should i try to install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-386? [15:49] hey i have a problem with my acer notebook!!!! just installed ubuntu 7.10 and it doesn't show anything just a black screen from grub menu to GDM [15:49] why? what can i do? [15:49] to see that usplash whatever? pls [15:49] is there a way to make sure that there is no problem with the system ????? [15:49] is there any special reason for my desktop going back to a 52 Refresh Rate every time i run WoW? [15:49] protobion: really bad 3d performance, ATI's attitude towards linux, artifacts on the screen, no suspend/hibernate, etc [15:50] giulio: see if this finds your modem.. sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf it may not find wvdial either [15:50] protobion: they only got AIGLX support about 2 months ago; ridiculous [15:50] anas: outside of providing specific information or encountering serious problems, likely no--this is not windows :} [15:50] protobion: but it's still really buggy; firefox lags like crazy w/ compiz enabled [15:50] hi again [15:51] protobion: it's almost like a joke. like "ha ha we're going to 'provide' linux 'drivers'" [15:51] but not really [15:51] strabes: Makes me wonder, the iMac uses ATI Mobility Radeon cards as well , and they seem to run well there [15:51] im having some troubles with the install of the flash player [15:51] why does my computer set back to 52 Refresh rate any time i open WoW? im on gusty [15:51] good afternoon [15:51] gaelik: see the channel topic.. it is broke [15:51] protobion: yeah, but those aren't running ubuntu [15:51] gaelik: there are some flash issues right now for many [15:51] !re[eat | Aaron [15:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about re[eat - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [15:52] !repeat | Aaron [15:52] Aaron: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [15:52] the link is broken? [15:52] gaelik: The package is broken in the way that it checks the security of the downloaded file. [15:52] why is imap performance so poor with evolution 2.12? [15:52] gaelik: yep I can give you a work around... just not sure that it wont bite you later... [15:52] strabes: But it should exactly be difficult for them to code for Linux if they can code for BSD. It's a palicy thing, like you suggest. [15:52] i put in a DVD in the drive, but it doesn't show up.. what can i do to try to fix it? [15:52] Aaron: more of a questionf or Wow then ubuntu really [15:53] strabes: *policy [15:53] gaelik: The workaround is to first go to synaptic, select the flashplugin-nonfree package and then mark it for *complete* removal. [15:53] ok... [15:53] ok [15:53] gaelik: Then install the hardy flashplugin, http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10761023/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_i386.deb [15:53] profanephobia: MacOSX is not BSD it's a hybrid system so they are not coding for BSD they are coding for Mac [15:53] protobion: That just makes it worse. They obviously do not care about linux at all. They only started doing ANYTHING after they were bought by AMD. [15:53] i will remove it [15:54] !dvd > theLichKing (read message from ubotu) [15:54] kitche, huh? [15:54] protobion: and the drivers are still trash; i'm using mesa right now because fglrx is unusably buggy [15:54] ok. [15:54] anyone knows how to fix the low brightness on screen bug on a gateway laptop? [15:54] im wonna trye [15:54] profanephobia: exactly what I said MacOSX is not really a BSD system anymore [15:54] hi. in ubuntu how can I show all open programs? in kde I can do it by middle-mouse click on the open desktop.

[15:54] So back to my original question, does anyone know how to make Ubuntu more intelligent with respect to multiple monitors, it's rather pointless to use it for me if I can't use it on presentations and edit xorg.conf for every projector I connect to it. [15:55] kitche, but why are you telling me this? [15:55] profanephobia: wrong nickname [15:55] another thing....how can i activate the 3d acceleration [15:55] kitche, oh k [15:55] protobion: Then dont use it until it works for your purposes.. [15:55] is there a program I can bind to a key in X to quickly switch between keyboard layouts ? [15:55] theLichKing: yes. read the link ubotu messaged you in the private message [15:55] protobion: are you using gutsy? Do you use the Screens and Graphics Manager under System > Administration? [15:55] protobion: MacOSX is not BSD anymore so in esscence it's not BSD drivers it's Mac drivers [15:56] gaelik: enable the restricted drivers [15:56] strabes: Yes and yes respectively. [15:56] can anyone suggest a graphical mail client that can handle imap quickly? im sick of this evolution garbage [15:56] ShredZ: You have to put something in your xorg.conf; google for something like "left alt + shift keyboard layout ubuntu" [15:56] ok jack [15:56] let me see... [15:56] miked, thundebird? [15:56] its not that great either [15:56] protobion: and it doesn't work? not much of a surprise; projectors are a pain [15:56] miked, i never used it though... [15:57] are those the only two available? [15:57] seems like it [15:57] i am using kubuntu. i cant setup my tv tuner. alpha tv tuner. i went to linuxtv.com and installled the dvb . i used kdetv and mythtv. i cant make it work. any help? [15:57] miked, if you're looking for outlook sort of "quality" i haven't found it either [15:57] miked, maybe kmail.. [15:57] Jack_Sparrow: Thank you, for the "Patient : Doctor my shoulder hurts when I raise my arm... Doc: Then don't raise your arm" answer [15:57] miked: search for "mail" in applications > add/remove [15:57] .....i get a mesage that says something like "your computer do not need restricted drivers" [15:58] kitche: Point noted. [15:58] hey yall, im converting some music, and the file extension is *.OGG.ogg. how can i rename them with the mv command to *.OGG? im trying to use mv *.OGG.ogg *.OGG , but that doesn't work [15:58] phyz: Using the term QUALITY and OUTLOOK in the same sentence... that is really wrong [15:58] strabes: Oh well. [15:58] i had debugging turned on in evolution (forgot the syntax) and it always ran into errors causing slow downs in message retreival [15:58] Jack_Sparrow!!! [15:58] Jack_Sparrow, i put quotes around it... [15:58] * Marfi waves [15:58] protobion: This is a help channel.. not a discussion channel.. please take it to offtopic [15:59] Morning Marfi [15:59] so....if im not suposed to ned them... [15:59] Marfi: have you tried gwenrename? [15:59] need [15:59] hi! [15:59] here I sit, broken hearted [15:59] gaelik: what video card do you have in there? [15:59] gvsa123, nope, but gonna. =) [15:59] how can i set up wireless networking to connect my network (linksys) by default? [16:00] (i forgot) [16:00] intel 845 [16:00] maybe i shoud buy another one. [16:00] gaelik: You should just be able to turn on effects in appearance [16:00] maybe [16:00] Ubunteros! can any of you tell me what is difference between Desktop applet and beagle? [16:00] ok, this isn't good... thunderbird is eating up 99% cpu, 2% mem, & isn't letting me do anything [16:00] why is beagle still not installed by default in gutsy? is it still not considered stable? [16:01] ..... [16:01] i got some nice efects on the windows and stuff... [16:01] livingdaylight: Because Tracker is installed by default. [16:01] but i cant run 3d opengl progs. [16:01] Pici, can jew explain more? [16:02] like compiz-fusion and all that jazz [16:02] Pici, tracker is like beagle?? [16:02] livingdaylight: probably because they don't want to install mono by default? [16:02] livingdaylight: Excuse me???? [16:02] gaelik: do you speek cymraeg or some gaelic language? [16:02] gaelik: HAve you tried turning off effects before running those.. [16:02] beagle = mono? [16:02] - iam new. i just know i have alpha tv tuner card. [16:02] not yet [16:02] gaelik: Just a thought... worth trying [16:02] gaelik: are you learning? [16:03] i have an ati radeon 1100 card. i;ve enabled the restricted driver, installed xserver-xgl and the desktop effects work. but if i type in a terminal glxinfo, i see direct rendering: NO! what can i do? [16:03] nope. [16:03] livingdaylight: First of all, that slang is not acceptable here. Second of all Beagle is an indexer for searching so is Tracker. Theres no reason to have both. [16:03] gaelik: ok [16:03] gaelik: why is this your name then? [16:03] Jack_Sparrow: i have downloaded the restricted driver, now i reboot and i will try. Thank you! [16:03] livingdaylight: beagle needs mono to run it's written in C# [16:03] i'll start in a couple of months [16:03] I don't have a blank CD. What is the next easiest way to install Ubuntu? I tried liveCD->liveUSB that didn't work. The syslinux said, Couldn't not find kernel: /casper/.vml... [16:03] gaelik: i see! where will you learn? [16:03] For wlan-ng and orinoco_cs based nics, monitor mode is entered automatically when the ’Start’ button is clicked to initiate a capture session. Other card types must be put into monitor mode outside of airsnort, prior to clicking Start. Well I have other card broadcom and how can I put my card into monitor outside the arisnort ?? [16:03] zitsep: I am not a pirate either.. please avoid the OT [16:03] !install > malahal (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [16:03] so where is tracker? is tracker built into Desktop Applet? [16:03] im from the north of spain [16:04] Jack_Sparrow: np! [16:04] livingdaylight: Yes, it built into the deskbar searching and I believe a few other programs as well. I dont know which off the top of my head. [16:04] Jack_Sparrow: what is OT? [16:04] there's schools for that [16:04] zitsep: Off topic discussions [16:04] gaelik: there are no schools in hungary [16:04] north spain is a gelik territory [16:04] i have not heard of tracker or know where it is [16:04] gaelik: zitsep please.. not in here [16:05] uh, sorry.. ok [16:05] Galicia, asturie, cantabrie. [16:05] yep. [16:05] ok [16:05] sotty [16:05] sorry. [16:05] Pici, ic so it is built into desktop applet... kewl [16:05] livingdaylight: Well, more like the deskbar can access it :) [16:06] is mono considered evil? [16:06] ....another question...compiz-fusion its suposed to be in the 7.1 distro....but....where??????? [16:06] cant find it.

[16:15] Konam: yes. [16:15] ha, sorry wrong window.. [16:16] Jack_Sparrow, I never installed ubuntu before, but what is 7.10 here in the command line: sudo ./isotostick.sh ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso /dev/sdb4 [16:16] I mean, without problems or anything, is just that i want a graphical interface and nfs doesn't have one [16:16] thanks wols. it's become read-only at random times, [16:16] at least not packaged [16:16] and gnome panel shows applications in the taskbar for every application on the cube [16:16] no matter which workspace I am currently on [16:16] my browser lox in place at the top of the screen and I cant move it . foxfire [16:16] Hello, I am having some issues with using my microphone in Ubuntu. I managed to sort out every other problem so this is the last one remaining. I don't know where to start really, I've plugged in the mic but I am not sure what utility to use to test it (and what sound driver it is using. I would assume ALSA). [16:16] Using Gutsy-- Attempting to run Compiz manager, receive Dbus error-- Dbus failed to load-- what error is this and how can i fix it? [16:17] Jack_Sparrow, is this ISO related to gutsy...: ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso [16:17] magnetron does it have a recommendable GUI? [16:17] is there a way to control the order of startup programs? [16:17] malahal: I understand that is the script they say to use.. but they never mention in the docs that it will work with 7.10 only dapper and feisty are mentioned which are earlier versions.. You might look at the site pendrivelinux.com [16:17] malahal: that is gutsy--so related yes :} [16:18] malahal: 7.10 yes [16:18] Konam: the client has. [16:18] Jack_Sparrow, they didn't mention it but the documents commands clearly use Gutsy. How odd that it doesn't work! [16:18] does gutsy use compiz fuzion for desktop effects? [16:19] bazhang, thanks. Can any one point me liveCD->liveUSB that works for gutsy!!!!!!

I enabled Virtual server with correct port and ip on the router, and no firewalls on the desktop are running. Can anyone help me, please? :) [16:29] ikkinu: when you say 'virtual server' on the router, is that the same thing as creating a pinhole or opening a port? what kind of router do you have?

[16:57] DrPepper: ahh bummer [16:57] no it didnt for mine [16:57] what would that be jack sparrow? [16:57] morph [16:57] MacTheMad: The workaround is to first go to synaptic, select the flashplugin-nonfree package and then mark it for *complete* removal [16:57] f* so i must redownload ...

[16:58] which makes sense cause 2 32bits dont equal a 64 [16:58] hmmm... ok, I'll try that & ty jack sparrow [16:59] np [16:59] morphles: there's the whole /etc directory for you to configure, for a start [16:59] Using 7.10-- Installing compiz-- but the more installation guides i try, the worse it gets-- I want to start over from scratch, how can i remove any of the compiz files and reload the defaults from my disc without reinstalling linux [17:00] since the 7.10 live cd doesn't work, do you guys recommend installing 7.04 and upgrading? [17:00] morphles: Nothing forces you to use the graphical configuration in Ubuntu, most of the programs are just interfaces to make chanegs to the files in /etc. [17:00] a and what about compiling and instaling from src? wont it brake something? [17:01] munim: try the alternate cd [17:01] ok [17:01] morphles: Theres really no reason to do that on Ubuntu. [17:01] !alternate > munim [17:01] morphles: it mostly will, unless you know what you're doing very well. why would you need to do that?

[17:03] bazhang: it's not worth the 40$ you mean [17:03] cause i want an easy linux [17:03] morphles, it's not hard. just make sure you only ever do that with end-user programs and never with libraries or such things, and also make sure that you install the compiled stuff in /usr/local or /opt, and *never* in the /usr hierarchy, which APT expects to have for itself [17:03] kurt: it's not worth anything [17:03] Aaron, a program open with a specific refresh rate? That sort of dosent make sence.. === flukierdonut is now known as profanephobia [17:03] morphles: as for actually doing it, it's really not much different from gentoo or just about any other distribution [17:03] bazhang: i tried ubuntu but didn't get my ati card working [17:04] kurt, is this in a laptop? [17:04] bazhang: so now i try freespire but i have the same problem [17:04] kurt: that is why we are here :} [17:04] There is the 'freespire' variant of linspure..but last i checked it out.. Ubuntu had it beat. [17:04] i belive so; i think my linux knowledge will me more than enough for that since gentoo well... is gentoo [17:04] kurt: You will have the same issuse due to ati support.. not the distro [17:04] I'm thinking about getting a Wacom tablet for my wife. She does a lot of photo editing on Ubuntu. Anyone got any reviews or warnings about Wacom tablets with Ubuntu? [17:04] kurt what ati card do you have ?

[17:05] stuporglu1, you may want to check the forums/google for reviews to see if any of the tablets are a better value then others. [17:05] oh [17:05] or just mirrors? [17:05] desktop [17:05] no desktop [17:05] hmm sec let me check it out for ta [17:05] ya [17:05] Thanks Dr_willis -- do all models work? Or do they have special drivers -- I've never used a tablet before [17:05] morphles: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ [17:06] stuporglu1, no idea if ALL work. :) ive only used the few low end ones.

[18:15] changing* [18:15] im in Texas lol [18:15] MactheMad, do you have to install bind [18:15] rob_p I thought zenity was for dialog boxes [18:15] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=642822 nickwebcoukok [18:15] Aaron: Perhaps canada is faster though... [18:15] darkblue_B, check out tldp.org and that backspace howto I guess.. Been ages sinve ive seen anyne with the backspace issues. [18:15] I'm unsure ganjaman23 [18:16] kd7swh: Yeah, it is. I just wanted to make sure that wasn't what you were referring to. [18:16] Dr_willis: looking [18:16] its sitting on downloading file 36 0f 59 [18:16] Im trying to reinstall grub on my system and i get the error Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... no when I run setup (hd0) . Any help would be appreciated [18:16] mactheamd, yeah a dns server called bind [18:16] Aaron: Is it downloading it? There should be a percentage on there (if you're using the apt-get method) [18:17] good [18:17] rob_p: no not really. I want to script a small gui, glade and pygtk are a little much for me though [18:17] it might take awhile but its working [18:17] it failed a bunch of them and then gave me the same error [18:17] and then you have to add soa records and stuff [18:17] kd7swh: Well, zenity will accomodate simple scripts. [18:17] I installed dns server package when I did initial install and have added dhcp server thru synaptic ganjaman23 [18:17] Aaron: Can you pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list please. You can open it with gedit. [18:17] but you cacn set it up to just relay dns requests to another DNS server [18:17] huh? [18:17] =( [18:17] kd7swh: It can produce nice little dialog boxes, collect user input, etc. [18:17] Aaron: Also, do you by chance use a proxy to connect to the internet? [18:18] rob_p: I'll play with it [18:18] Aaron: you on dialup? [18:18] i have a DSL connection through a router i dont deal with linux or connetions [18:18] rob_p: is there a quick howto around I can look at?

I just use the manpages for zenity when I want to create a simple front end to my scripts. [18:19] Aaron: press alt-f2 and type: gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [18:19] Aaron, your router is DHCP capable? [18:19] Ganjaman23: He can get on the internet. [18:19] kd7swh: ...since I don't have the useage memorized. [18:19] never had any connection issues in my life with this router and modem on XP [18:19] Jack_Sparrow: is pyqt like pygtk? [18:19] sick you Die eggs, [18:19] alt f2 isnt opening anything [18:19] Ganjaman23: Excuse me?

I have a black screen, that's all, do you know why ?

[19:21] please move to the back of the line [19:22] I want to rename "office" submenu in the applications menu, but ubuntu autorenames it back to office. how can i rename it? [19:22] do you need to encrypt? [19:22] is this a laptop?> [19:22] no, its a VM running on server 2003 [19:22] are you worried about someone taking the hard drives? [19:22] i want to run it for web [19:22] no i am not [19:22] Andrew_Dunn: then ask [19:22] anything important on the VM? [19:22] possibly [19:22] ere4si: You'll loose me for awhile as restarting gdm to gen fresh log. [19:22] not sure yet, depending on who hosts there. [19:22] then you possibly might want to encrypt it [19:22] k [19:23] allright [19:23] MasterShrek: it gives me the option as in it's a command line question instead of a config file|?? [19:23] what is an LVM anyway, and why not just install using entire disk? [19:23] hold on, brb [19:23] Storrgie: if you don't know what LVM is you probably don't need it [19:23] !anyone > Andrew_Dunn [19:23] you are correct [19:23] Hello .. again... is there a way to check if the system has all libs to compile a certain package? [19:24] Benalex: try compiling [19:24] Storrgie: it gives you the ability to expand partitions over multiple hard drives, and the ability to add additional hard drives and "grow" the mount point onto the additional hard drives in the future [19:24] komputes: when you configure your kernel, it will be a menu-based config [19:24] dmacnutt: and if it failed... will this faliure alter or damage or leave any unneeded things? [19:24] so without it I am set to use a specific HD and a specific size? [19:24] COuld any one tell me how I could add a group od deb files I have in a folder in my sources.

[19:25] Storrgie: raid can stripe or mirror partions - not dynamically grow mountpoints in the future [19:25] np komputes, hope you get it figured out [19:26] ere4si: Back, still no change. GLX error still in log. [19:26] Storrgie: there CAN be striping in LVM but it's not reccomended, and there is no mirroring that I know of [19:26] hi [19:26] I have a problem with 7.10 [19:26] i think you can mirror logical voulmes [19:26] I have a laptop with 4gb ram [19:26] [19:24] but cannot find a way of seeing the 4gb ram [19:26] [19:24] I even tried with installing the linux-server kernel [19:26] [19:24] but then I cannot use the nvidia card anymore [19:26] [19:24] because there are no linux-restricted-modules-server available [19:26] wtf [19:26] How can I extract RAR archives?

[20:00] but that really doesnt help me ... disabling fglrx is not an option :D [20:00] blizzkid: I've had it working just like that before. did you set the tunnel up correctly?

[20:02] dooglus, where are they located? [20:02] FullMon-T, intel? [20:02] dooglus: it gives me the following error: http://rafb.net/p/FJqFEV76.html [20:02] AskewJew: You can run your monitor through that script and it will gen the modeline for you to copying into your xorg.conf file. [20:02] blizzkid: also, try running something simpler, like an "nc -l -p 5900" instead of vncserver and see if you can connect to that [20:02] erusul: alternative: openGL playback not working either, X11 Video playback is jumpy at best [20:02] tnx tbotnik [20:02] blizzkid: depends which server you're using I guess [20:02] sjuerges: do you use xserver-xgl? desktop effects?

[20:03] dooglus, you used another vncserver then? [20:03] AskewJew: Is it LCD? [20:03] blizzkid: I used vncserver, yes [20:03] dooglus: which others could be messing with it? [20:03] erUSUL: supposed to, but for some reason not workin ... maybe im just not configuring something right ... thats what i need a little help with [20:04] where does gnome keep the "Application" menu and what's in, etc.? i want to edit the names of the submenus, becouse gnome renames them to default [20:04] do you use plesk [20:04] blizzkid: if I want to share my existing display, I use "x11vnc -display :0 -rfbauth ~/.vnc/passwd" [20:04] FullMon-T, try 'sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base' and add this line to the bottom 'options snd-hda-intel model=3stack' then reboot [20:05] naxa: It is in the "/usr/share/applications" dir [20:05] midgetnator: I don't understand how ubuntu works with webcams at all. I tried 10 or so apps and luvcview was the only on I could get to work. I guess your mileage is different :( [20:06] TBotNik_U: thank you very much! (I hope the hungarian names are there, too) [20:06] anyone know a good audio cd program that can take a bunch of mp3s and burn them to audio cds and auto split to make them all fit? i'd also like to be able to burn the whole list of mp3s as an mp3 disc too. k3b doesn't like me giving it mp3s. it wants to convert them first. [20:06] salty: Should I remove "# options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo" [20:06] ? [20:06] * genii thinks about quirks and sips his coffee [20:06] musashi: you can't write mp3 files to audio cds [20:06] FullMon-T, is it on a lenovo? [20:06] dooglus: thank you .. ill google for it [20:06] naxa: Don't know about that, but to create new item "cp" an existing one and edit. [20:06] sjuerges: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ATI_Drivers#Option_1:_Newer_Drivers_.288.21.7_and_newer.29 [20:07] my comp is an averatec [20:07] offbrand [20:07] dooglus: you can write them mp3 discs or have the software convert them before burning. serpentine does that. [20:07] musashi: it a CD contains mp3s, it's a data cd, not an audio cd [20:07] salty: Lenovo T3000. What I meant was should I delete the "#"? [20:07] does anyone else have the same problem with trackerd? it consumes about 15-50% CPU on a dual-core 2.13Ghz CPU. [20:07] you can put mp3s on a cd if its a data cd. [20:07] FullMon-T, it's worth a try [20:07] naxa: they all have .desktop ending, and you have to use cmdline to see/edit them. [20:07] musashi: you said you wanted to write mp3s to an audio cd without converting them. that's not something that makes sense. [20:08] erUSUL: done already, doesnt fix it :D [20:08] dooglus: some programs seem to use the terminology of an mp3 audio disc or similar for a cd that is full of mp3s [20:08] TBotNik_u: fortunately I'm using command line by "default" :) [20:08] erUSUL: i have Option "VideoOverlay" "on" [20:08] averatec 3200 [20:08] dooglus, even with vncviewer I get a connection refused [20:08] naxa: Gnome want to interpret and run them and will not let you work with them. [20:08] dooglus: yes, you can have a cd full of mp3 files that an mp3 aware cd player can play [20:08] FullMon-T, if it doesn't work just add the # back and add the line i gave you [20:08] blizzkid: trying to connect to localhost:0 ? [20:08] TBotNik_u: all the international names are also in these files, but i cannot find the actual "menus", there are too much files and none is named "Applications" [20:08] um and i pretty much have no idea what you were talking about with the xorg.conf file [20:09] musashi: I agree. but that's a data cd. [20:09] dooglus, no I started vncserver :1 so I try to connect to localhost:1 [20:09] TBotNik_u: I see... [20:09] dooglus: i used to make these all the time with musicmatch [20:09] naxa: Appliation is a dir [20:09] salty: brb. [20:09] opò [20:09] erUSUL: and xvinfo gives me the info that XVideo overlay is enabled [20:09] ok [20:09] TBotNik_u: ok. Don't you know, where does gnome keeps its name? It's called "Alkalmazasok" in hungarianú [20:09] sjuerges: and... Section "Extensions" \n Option "XVideo" "Enable" \n EndSection [20:09] dooglus: well call it a data cd then. i still need to find a app that does it and makes it playable on a mp3 aware cd player [20:10] musashi: I'm not very experienced in stealing music myself. I was merely trying to help you to phrase the question in a way that might help others answer it. [20:10] TBotNik_u: actually i want to rename the "office" submenu to something different (actually, it's called "Iroda" in hungarian and i want to rename it to "office" :)) [20:10] erUSUL: i have to restart X of course, i will be back [20:10] dooglus: not stealing. it's my cd collection i ripped and am making a compliation [20:10] erUSUL: btw, thanx for your help [20:11] naxa: Find the file and the name is one of the parms in the file. [20:11] dooglus, any idea what could be wrong? [20:11] dooglus: if i hadn't ripped it years ago i would have used ogg but then most players won't play ogg [20:11] TBotNik_u: actually there is no file containing the word "iroda" which means office in hungarian [20:12] TBotNik_u: i grepped them [20:12] hey guys, where would the .xsession file be located? [20:12] blizzkid: do you have package "x11vnc" installed? [20:12] I've looked in my ~/ but I don't see one [20:12] iriver's players play ogg i think? [20:12] naxa: Ex: edit the ubuntu-about.desktop file [20:12] dooglus, now I have [20:13] blizzkid: can you try "x11vnc -connect 89.176.28.156:55505" ? [20:13] is therea reason (or a workaround) to why i cant use the same color on my desktop background as the color of my themes panel background? [20:13] i.e. my theme has made my panels(and window backgrounds) gray, but i cant put picture with that same gray on my desktop, it automaticly turns it black. [20:13] erUSUL: nope, that wasnt it unfortunately [20:13] brobostigon: i'm playing them on a home cd player. just making mp3 cds so i can put a lot on one cd [20:13] TBotNik_u: it's containging the text for "About ubuntu" in several languages, only [20:13] blizzkid: it'll connect to my vnc viewer [20:13] musashi: that saves loads of space. [20:14] naxa: Exactly, so you can find the hungarian name and change it or declare a different default language for it. [20:15] blizzkid: that connected, and promptly died. I don't think VNC likes compiz much. [20:15] brobostigon: yes, it does. but i need cds since i'm not use an mp3 audio player like an ipod but a home cd player [20:15] TBotNik_u: but i don't want to rename "about ubuntu" to anything... i want to rename "office" to "iroda" :) [20:15] blizzkid: I still see the window, but the clock is frozen at 21:14 [20:16] anyone know of an app similar to LyX but with gtk front end? [20:16] musashi: so mp3 cds are an ideal solution [20:16] TBotNik_u: oh i found it, at last! with grep -r * in /usr/share [20:16] TBotNik_u: it's called desktop-directories [20:16] dooglus, let me disable desktop effects [20:16] erUSUL: could it be due to DPMS ? [20:16] salty: Didn't work [20:16] Jowi: LyX has one. [20:17] TBotNik_u: don't you know, why keeps gnome renaming the menus back to their default name, if i edit them in the "edit menus" option? [20:17] naxa: I'm still learning those. I recently copied the terminal.desktop to create an SSH terminal session to my server. [20:17] is there a place where i can c the wireless networks in kubuntu [20:17] TBotNik_u: i want to turn this of, this is annoying [20:17] ok edit again... put the '#' back and add 'options snd-hda-intel model=3stack' to the bottom [20:17] Ori_B, no. gtk has been removed in newer version(s). 1.4.3 has the option but it's marked as experimental. [20:17] brobostigon: well, maybe not ideal but since my cd player will play mp3 but not ogg i'm stuck with mp3 for no. i just want to make the cd as well as regular audio cds from the mp3 (ala itunes or musicmatch but in ubuntu since that's all i have) [20:17] TBotNik_u: i see! Thank you for your help, without it i wouldn't know, where to start! [20:17] FullMon-T, ok edit again... put the '#' back and add 'options snd-hda-intel model=3stack' to the bottom [20:18] Ori_B, seems like LyX has settled for QT4 [20:18] TbotNik_u: could you explain in idiot terms what i need to do with that web site? [20:18] khelll: Better to speak about it at #kubuntu ... [20:18] auscours ! [20:18] Jowi: ah. *shrugs* [20:18] salty: brb. [20:18] * Ori_B personally just uses Vim directly [20:18] ok [20:19] hell ya, just bought a pair of sennheiser wireless headphones, totally rock [20:19] TBotNik_u: i try and restart [20:19] AskewJew: Sorry let me give you second link which should explain it. https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-...3.html#3276263 [20:19] ayudarme [20:19] uh [20:19] dead link [20:20] AskewJew: This is NeddySeagoons writeup on the resolution problem and how modeline can fix it.

[21:29] chazco: i think it has been pulled even from -proposed because of other problems. i think you should be patient [21:30] I kind of need Flash [21:30] Will try to install it manually === erUSUL is now known as newnick [21:30] soccer_hawk10 do you think that's because of the 'exporting encryption technology' law or whatever === newnick is now known as erUSUL [21:31] I am needing advice to proceed. Received this error during upgrade to 7.10 { Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio/dists/feisty/Release.gpg Could not resolve 'archive.ubuntustudio.org' } [21:31] Jack_Sparrow: i've got medibuntu enabled and the plugins installed [21:31] Hi. I have put some network card into my computer, and now I can't see in ifconfig something like eth1. I'm using xubuntu; but there is no hardware related tool afaik and I've realized I have no idea what to do. What to do? [21:31] tom___: remove that repository from your sources.list [21:31] slimjimflim: i don't know. i don't pretend to know honestly. there are so many international laws, who knows what's going on... it could be as simple as them wanting to avoid the POSSIBILITY of problems [21:32] in my opinion, though, it doesn't really matter since the packages are still available [21:32] everyone wins :-D [21:32] tripps: ok.. so w32codecs is installed.. [21:32] What does it mean in gnome when a window shades to dark grey? [21:32] tom___: remember you will need to apt-get update any time you edit the sources.list [21:32] i can't get the network-manager to work [21:33] tripps: try browsing to the mp3 using nautilus and right clicking it - rbox should ask to download the codecs if needed [21:33] khelll: what kind of network? wireless? using wep or wpa? [21:33] tripps: I meant double clicking... [21:33] LjL all of them or just the ones that update complained about? [21:33] wep should be [21:33] am using kubuntu [21:33] tom___: just the ones it complained about. if you want, pastebin your sources.list and i'll have a look [21:34] khelll: what is your device name? ath0? wlan0? [21:34] mikefoo1: the app crashed or is freezed [21:34] eth1 [21:35] iwconfig should give that true? [21:35] hi, how can I find out when users at my machine logged in and out? [21:35] erUSUL: nothing to do with idling then? [21:35] is there a log file? [21:35] iwconfig /all [21:35] LjL I will give it a go. I am currently running UbuntuStudio and I am assuming 7.10 is just a general system upgrade. [21:36] mikefoo1: not in my experience; some apps do recover sometimes (clawmail in my case) but ususally you have to kill them [21:36] khelll: when i want to connect to a network i normally do 1) sudo ifconfig eth1 up 2) iwlist eth1 scan 3) sudo iwconfig eth1 essid networknamewhatver key 1234345566 4) sudo dhclient eth1 <-- i dont know gnome gui but that is how i connect in a terminal [21:36] tom___, all i know about UbuntuStudio is... that that repository you just pasted *really* doesn't work. perhaps they've moved it or something. [21:36] ok.. then vmware doesn't work on this install, lol [21:36] any load and it crashes my whole system =( [21:37] tom___: perhaps try asking in #ubuntustudio as well [21:37] axel_s: see the command 'w' 'who' and 'last' [21:37] ok it's playing mp3 files from the filesystem but I can't seem to play network streams, like somafm's station.pls files. [21:37] LjL Thanks for the lead. I'll check it out. [21:38] why would ssh be defaulting to another port, other than the one you specify in ssh config file ? [21:38] picke how shall i know the network name? [21:39] heya [21:39] pike_, thanks! === erle64 is now known as erle- [21:39] pike_, last is what I was looking for [21:39] can someone help me with pidgin setup for a hotmail.co.uk account [21:40] hey [21:40] heya [21:41] hi [21:41] is there anyone else here [21:41] I'm trying to set up raid on my stystem using mdadm and I'm having trouble removing a raid device [21:41] can u tell me the deference between ubundu and kubuntu [21:41] ?

[21:41] !repeat | george_ [21:42] george_: 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 [21:42] i think kubuntu can be used for older spec sysetms [21:42] eae [21:42] kkk [21:42] George: kubuntu uses kde as window manager whereas ubuntu defaults with gnome [21:42] kubuntu is based on kde, while ubuntu is gnome [21:42] which is better [21:42] !better [21:42] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. [21:43] sebtheman: xubuntu is lighter kubuntu may be even "fatter" than ubuntu [21:43] sebtheman: its a matter of taste. you can install both on same box just go to synaptic and install kubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-desktop [21:43] thats the one i was thiking of [21:43] sebtheman: You can install multiple window managers and select between them under options when you login [21:43] you can check out videos on youtube by searching on those keywords and see what the various systems look like [21:43] sebtheman: if youre new to linux then ubuntu or kubuntu may best if you have the ram [21:44] Is there no command that allows me to delete something like mdadm completely from my system. I've tried issuing apt-get purge mdadm but when I reinstall that unwanted array just shows up again. [21:44] i have the ram [21:44] only for my personal understanding: gtk styles the content of the windows and metacity styles the borders? [21:44] i am very new to linux as ive just installed it today [21:44] using wubi [21:44] in gutsy to which group should a user be added so that he can burn dvds? (as root dvd writing with nautilus is working fine) [21:44] on same partition [21:44] sebtheman: You didnt really install it if you are using wubi [21:44] i know [21:44] but it works very well [21:45] sebtheman: Until it trashes your ntfs drive [21:45] actually everything is working fine [21:45] !worksforme [21:45] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [21:45] not a single thing went wrong [21:45] How do I tell Ubuntu (preferrably from the command line) to unzip all the archives on my desktop to /home/syntaxerror/fonts ? [21:45] it shouldnt touch ntfs should it it just formats a file on ntfs as ext2 or 3 [21:45] shoulnt hurt it i mean [21:45] what arguements do i use to remove window decoration and add tranparency to stalonetray [21:46] well its was my only option at the mo plus i only want to try it out [21:46] pike_: Documented that it can trash the drive when / if things go wrong [21:46] What features will be available in Hardy Alpha 2?

[21:47] Jack_Sparrow: I know, but it's a slow channel :P [21:47] yep [21:47] LjL: ok :) [21:47] how do you find and install compiz fusion [21:47] sebtheman, are you running gutsy?

[21:49] pike_, it worked, but when I ls'd again it had no effect [21:49] flare183: you use fusion-icon? [21:49] Flare183, you dont need fusion icon [21:49] where is the terminal i cant find it [21:49] !terminal | sebtheman [21:49] sebtheman: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

No go [21:54] LjL: Maybe he/she should copy the hidden files in /etc/skel to his/her home directory. [21:54] I don't see any error messages, nothing. Would this kind of stuff go to a log or something? [21:55] talcite: don't use ~ maybe.

Resulting in workstation configuration crashing. I tried to fix by removing server... but still crashes on config. What should I do?

[21:58] ToastGuy, dont do that [21:58] you cant manage it [21:58] can anyone help me purge vmware workstation from my system? [21:58] go into add/remove programs and search for flash [21:58] and install it [21:58] compiled it from tar.gz [21:59] make sure to change the drop down list to all installable programs [21:59] poningru_: It is broken see channel topic [21:59] jrib: that's very weird. It can't find the files, even though I've put them in the right path...

Never used keychain, but I'm pretty sure seahorse does the same. You may want to try that [22:04] anybody have any ideas what keeps causing my machine to freeze?

Welcome! [22:09] there are no errors [22:09] jrib: i think synaptic is broken, but i don't know how [22:09] LjL, can I have that unzip command again? I got lost with the colored ls's when I tried to do it that I forgot to paste it in a kate window [22:09] winter-mute: hit "reload" in synaptic, can you recreate the problem you had before?

[22:13] winter-mute: check your preferences. Are you using a proxy? [22:13] to burn dvds which group should my user be added to? [22:13] jrib: nope, i don't need to [22:13] winter-mute: yes, but make sure somehow one did not get set in preferences [22:13] SonicChao: uhm, my bad... syntax is weird, appears that wildcards must be matched by the unzip command itself. so [22:14] SonicChao: unzip '~/Desktop/*.zip' -d /home/syntaxerror/fonts/ [22:14] what's the command to reconfigure xorg? [22:14] !xconfig | soccer_hawk10 [22:14] soccer_hawk10: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes [22:14] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [22:14] jrib: yeah its clear [22:15] winter-mute: are you using firestarter?

[22:15] jrib: nope, its a clean install [22:15] unless it comes by default [22:16] winter-mute: nope. How long has this been happening? [22:16] when I minimize items to the tray they just disspear . they are still running. because crush_groove over there is me. but I dont have anyway of turning off what I cant see.. any ideas ? [22:16] SonicChao: pff... i guess it doesn't even take ~ [22:16] source_code: is "window list" added to your panel? [22:16] jrib: just today, i think until after i did upgrade [22:16] SonicChao: unzip '/home/syntaxerror/Desktop/*.zip' -d /home/syntaxerror/fonts/ [22:16] LjL, that's weird :| [22:16] Okay. [22:16] or maybe even after [22:16] source_code: erm "notification area" I mean [22:16] jrib in propertys ?

[22:22] Visha1: how did you install it? [22:22] jrib: I can here yesterday and some1 told me i had to install it using perl because it was a pl installation script and i did that [22:22] ToastGuy: everything (almost) will be through Add/Remove or Synaptic (your preference) [22:23] jrib: ah something with me having to disable dvd rom from the list.

Right now it only wants to use 1 of the DISKS at a time and continue the install? [22:28] RioCunliffe: after that you should be able to use sudo and add your user to the rest of the groups he is no longer in. Yes, when you boot, you get a grub menu (or you press ESC to see it) [22:28] tanner: what is the output of 'lsb_release -c' [22:28] is it true mediatomb doesn't support xbox360?

[22:30] it flickers, the only way I can watch it without flickering is to output it as X11 video, but that lags fullscreen [22:30] tanner: but this is #ubuntu... You should try #linux for general help or go to your distro's channel [22:30] anyone that knows what's causing this, or that got a plausible solution?

[22:33] argh! Why does Gutsy not boot on so many computers I've tried [22:33] Visha1: try "vmware" without quotes and then hit TAB twice. It should list the commands that start with "vmware" [22:33] it doe that thing where it flashes the caps and scroll lock keys [22:34] gusty is full of bugs [22:34] how do i see if a particular package is installed through CLI?

[22:46] Visha1: no problem [22:46] jrib, I know about the debug symbols packages. That's why I am asking how I install them. The mirror I use now does not work anymore. [22:47] slugone, encryption, and verification [22:47] slugone, you can encrypt messages so only certain people can decrypt, and sent messages so everyone knows they came from you [22:47] awesome thank you [22:47] since upgrading to gutsy it is taking a LOT longer to establish connections to my ubuntu host for some reason. is this a known problem or something? i didn't have any problems with dapper through feisty [22:48] tdn: use a mirror that works. TWO_LETTER_COUNTRY_CODE.archive.ubuntu.com should work [22:48] with regards to communicating to servers they will know the packets or whatever came from...... (my mac address .....ip........?) [22:48] magnetron: i've been there. I was trying to find a solution for not having to patch and compile the kernel. [22:50] jrib, yeah. I know. My mirror works then. It's my sources for ddebs that are not working. [22:50] tschiggerl: unless your raid card works out of the box, i would recommend you using LVM. [22:50] jrib, are debug packages only maintained for Gutsy? [22:50] magnetron: ok, thanks for the info. [22:52] anyone know how to fix the following error "symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g _once_init_enter_impl" My friend had X fall apart on her, i managed to fix it, but gdm and all gtk applications fail to run. I got her computer back up and running using kdm... but that doesnt solve the issue [22:52] I'm having trouble updating to 7.10 from 7.04. When ever I am fetching files it will always get to this one part where I can't get 4 files and that I should check my network. How do I fix this?

[22:56] Devourer: after you upgrade, you can turn them back on [22:57] robdig: Thank you. :D [22:57] slugone: alt- down arrow or something like that [22:59] Devourer: np [23:00] i'm installing ubuntu right now and at the partition screen. it says uses entire disk with our without the lvm [23:00] what benefits do i get from the lvm ?

[23:17] Jack_Sparrow: Can you point me to information concerning hibernation on a Toshiba Portégé 4010 laptop? I'm running ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy). [23:17] hi i am curious, i am running feisty with gnome, would i be able to just download the xubuntu iso and update to gutsy that way? [23:18] help me :( [23:18] staykovmarin: none of your gnome stuff would be updated. you'd still have to update all of ubuntu-desktop [23:18] ikonia: hello [23:18] staykovmarin: no, the Desktop CDs are unsuitable for upgrading anyway [23:18] FreeTrav2: I dont have anything on that.. sorry [23:18] :( [23:18] soundray: you can do it from the alternate cd [23:19] ikonia: I got my laptop to work :) [23:19] ain't civil engineering program on ubuntu else Qcad? [23:19] macogw: no need to tell me [23:19] * FreeTrav2 is liking the way linux performs on this laptop; just can't get hibernation to work properly/consistently. [23:19] jack sparrow can it be my sound card? [23:19] hey is it possible to test a external hard drive with smartctl? [23:19] FreeTrav2: if you have ati or nvidia binary drivers in use, you have to blacklist them [23:19] FreeTrav2: it's worth looking up installation reports for your model on tuxmobil.org [23:19] macogw: soundray: is there a way i can install xfce without downloading it? ie, a cd or something like that [23:19] Ericl80427: mute it and find out does it seem to work besides that [23:20] macogw: How do I determine this? [23:20] staykovmarin: if you get the xubuntu alternate cd, you can add it as a repo and install xubuntu-desktop from it [23:20] my sound card in my laptop isn't working, does anyone know what I should do? [23:20] soundray: Thanks for the pointer. [23:20] it is muted i couldnt stand it [23:20] staykovmarin you can install xubuntu-desktop [23:20] Jack_Sparrow, adding a symlink into /dev/disk/by-label didn't work.. [23:20] macogw: thank you, i will do that [23:20] Ericl80427: Muted the problem goes away? [23:20] yes i heard some music on youtube, but then after it stopped [23:20] yeah [23:20] staykovmarin: to switch to XFCE and update, you will need the feisty alternate CD, then the gutsy alternate CD. [23:20] staykovmarin and then login on xubuntu [23:21] ruffleS: you are close to the sloution, I was checking my own when You said you found it [23:21] what would keep bad login attempts from logging /var/log/btmp? [23:21] but it does stop when i mute it [23:21] soundray: sua: so i already have xfce on the cds? [23:21] the file is empty, and hell if i know why when i intentionally fail a login [23:21] Jack_Sparrow, thing is.. i've just checked the symlink and it ain't there anymore.. [23:21] soundray: not necessarily. could get an ubuntu and a xubuntu gutsy alternate, update using the gutsy ubuntu alt, then install xubuntu-desktop from the gutsy xubuntu alt. [23:21] let me look at my setup again.. [23:21] successful logins are logged to /var/log/wtmp as you would expect [23:22] any ideas? [23:22] staykovmarin: xubuntu alternate CDs contain what you need for XFCE [23:22] when i try to start x-windows it says nvidia.ko and wfb are missing. What packages have those? [23:22] awesome, thank you guys [23:22] does anyone know how to setup sound cards? [23:22] staykovmarin: you need the gutsy xubuntu and ubuntu alternate cds. install the upgrade from the ubuntu one, then install xubuntu-desktop from the xubuntu one [23:22] staykovmarin: install xubuntu package from synaptic === LjL-Temp is now known as LjL2 [23:22] sua: he said without downloading it. i think he's getting a friend to burn the CDs [23:23] runemasta644: nvidia.ko is a driver I think, I just installed the proprietary nvidia driver and that filename sounds familiar [23:23] some people say they have to reinstall nvidia drivers to start x; i honestly dont care; i only want to be able to run xwindows === neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde [23:24] FreeTrav2: lsmod | grep "nv\|fglrx" [23:24] staykovmarin: oh! is the xubuntu live-cd? [23:24] FreeTrav2: put that in the terminal. what's it say? [23:24] ain't civil engineering program on ubuntu else Qcad? [23:24] sua: what do you mean? [23:25] what package has the kernel module wfb in it? [23:25] can someone help me to setup a sound card? [23:25] staykovmarin: does it work on a live session before installation [23:25] ruffleS: I have 4 links in dev/disk/by-label and all seem to be ok. [23:26] macogw: just gives me back a new shell prompt. === steve_ is now known as spideyman [23:26] FreeTrav2: so you have intel graphics? [23:26] macogw: I would presume so. [23:26] Jack_Sparrow, i'm trying to create one too.. but it doesn't seem to do the trick. i recreated the link, unmonted and mounted the partition again and it's still displaying hda6 as the label [23:26] it's odd [23:26] FreeTrav2: just to double check, is there anything enabled in the restricted driver manager? [23:27] FreeTrav2: restricted drivers cause most hibernate issues, IME [23:27] sua: well it did when i first installed. i just downloaded the live cd for gutsy, should i just get the alternate gutsy instead? [23:27] macogw: I'm sorta new at this; how-tos are appreciated. [23:27] staykovmarin: yes, it has to be alternate in order to use it as a repository [23:27] has anyone had any success with sonix sn9c325 chipset usb webcam? [23:27] omg [23:27] FreeTrav2: oh it's in system > administration [23:27] the sound wont turn off [23:28] ok nevermind [23:28] phew i got scared [23:28] I have a .bin file to run a dedicated game server but I don't know what to do with .bin files. How do I run them? [23:28] macogw: okay so i will get that one, the live cd so i can update to gutsy, and what else do i need to get xfce? [23:28] macogw: Dialog box: Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers [23:28] staykovmarin: no not live cd. you cant update from live cd. it has to be the alternate. [23:28] smeg the only thing thats not really annoying is to download Wine [23:29] and that should install it for you [23:29] FreeTrav2: ok then idk why you have acpi trouble [23:29] did someone call me ? [23:29] staykovmarin: do you have installed guesty? === reconnect is now known as recon [23:29] sua: he has feisty and wants to update to gutsy and install xfce from cds [23:29] macogw: okay, so i am getting the alternate gutsy update one, do i need the alternate xfce one as well? [23:29] staykovmarin: not the live CD. You need the alternate CD so you can use them as a repository [23:29] macogw: OK, thanks. I'm checking the tuxmobil stuff now; so far, it's all older linuces. [23:29] staykovmarin: yes. both have to be alternate. [23:29] sua: no i am on fiesty [23:29] I really want to install Ubuntu, but I'm not the only one who uses this computer so I'd like to keep windows on here. Would it be easier to make a dual boot, or a virtual ubuntu machine? Does ubuntu even support a virtual machine inside windows? [23:29] tanx Ant [23:30] * Phusion will be good [23:30] a bit of a NoOb question.....installing from open source is done ....how ? [23:30] brb [23:30] DrKeith: assuming you have enough disk space a dual boot box is an excellent solution [23:30] staykovmarin: system > admininstration > software sources lets you add the alternate cds as repositories [23:30] slugone: installing from SOURCE is done by running the configure script ( ./configure from command line) then compiling it [23:30] Ericl80427: nice try but this is a linux dedicated server for halflife. Wine doesn't come into it. [23:30] DrKeith: yes, you can run Ubuntu as a guest. The decision depends on your needs [23:30] well ill reinstall nvidia-kernel-common and restricted modules [23:30] from the sources folder correct? [23:30] slugone: do you want to know how most installations are done on ubuntu or how to install from source? [23:30] slugone: nothing "noob" about it, you use ubuntu's package manager, apt - which in gnome has a front end called synaptic, it works like the windows "add remove folder" [23:30] slugone: the term "open source" is just software that has the guts, the programming language exposed for all to see and contribute to [23:31] others say that works [23:31] macogw: so if i get the alternate cd for XFCE, i can add it, and install xfce that way AFTER i update to gutsy? right? [23:31] my sound card isn't working on my laptop, can someone help me? [23:31] well im extremely new at linux so whatever [23:31] staykovmarin: yes. [23:31] slugone: the source folder should contain and INSTALL file with instructions [23:31] well I'd prefer a dual boot, but I'm not sure how to do it with the different disk partitions and all. [23:31] ikonia: hello again, guess what, I got my laptop to work :) [23:31] awesome [23:31] DrKeith: Linux will do it for you if you have Windows already installed [23:31] DrKeith: you need 2 new partitions one for / and one for swap [23:31] hi, i'm getting insufficient privaleges on my home directory? how can i stop that? [23:31] DrKeith: generally, hardware causes fewer issues when you run Linux as a guest. [23:31] alexbOrsova: well done. Educate me with the solution [23:31] okay one final question, to update using the alternate cd, i add it as a repo, then i click upgrade, right? [23:31] DrKeith: setting up dual-boot is easy, just follow the installer [23:32] DrKeith: if you have a spare partition w/ XP installed already, you can go ahead and install Ubuntu on whatever space you have left, one partition for your / filesystem and one for Swap Space, much like Windows's Page file [23:32] DrKeith: if you want it to be easy to reinstall and keep your personal folder there, make a 3rd and set its mount point as /home [23:32] ikonia: I added the boot options "rhgb noapic" [23:32] !dualboot > DrKeith, please read the private message from ubotu [23:32] alexbOrsova: I'm sure I told you to do noapic [23:32] Ericl80427, first thing to learn: NEVER do rm -rf / [23:32] ruffleS: newer versions of rm don't let you anyway. you'd have to do /* [23:32] ikonia: I don't know what rhgb does, I just thought I should add that toostead of Xubuntu; I forgot to mention, I installed Ubuntu now, in [23:33] macd, oh that's a good thing even [23:33] alexbOrsova: well done [23:33] can some1 help me please? [23:33] o.o dont know what it is anyway [23:33] vishal_: what is your question [23:33] vishal_: whats up? [23:33] hi, i'm getting insufficient privaleges on my home directory? how can i stop that? [23:33] ikonia: sorry, typo: I installed Ubuntu instead of xubuntu and then tried those options [23:33] hi all, is this the right plae to ask about getting a blank screen upon starting GDM on a new ubuntu GG install? [23:33] vishal_: what are the permissons on your home dir [23:33] alexbOrsova: xubuntu/ubuntu shouldn't be any different with boot options [23:33] no one know why /var/log/btmp is not being written to? [23:34] macogw: Just for the record, it looks like the video on this laptop is Trident, not Intel. [23:34] ikonia: sorry i just got started on linux, how do i check? [23:34] ikonia: that's what I thought but I'm using irc from my laptop right now :) [23:34] atoponce: not written to at all ? [23:34] vishal_: ls -la /home [23:34] vishal: type 'ls -ld ~' [23:34] ikonia: so I guess it made the difference [23:34] alexbOrsova: well, I'm shocked. But at least your working [23:34] macogw: At least according to the Toshiba specs. [23:34] vishal_: either of their suggestions will work fine [23:34] ikonia: nothing. completely empty. even if i simulate a failed login [23:34] vishal_: general hint: this type of problem can be the result of running graphical admin programs with sudo. Always use gksudo instead. [23:35] aaarrrrrgggghhhh..... it didnt work..... [23:35] my laptop's sound card doesn't work, what can I try to fix it? [23:35] anyone having problems with sudo on 7.10? [23:35] atoponce: thats very unusual [23:35] ph|ber: just explain YOUR problem [23:35] ph|ber: it doesn't matter what other people have [23:35] well i added my user for no password sudo [23:35] FreeTrav2: well idk how the acpi support for that driver is. if it's an open source driver (which it must be if it's not restricted), it should work dandy, but maybe google a bit about the driver it uses and see if it has acpi trouble. also, are you using ndiswrapper on your wireless card (if you have one)? [23:35] ikonia: agreed. i don't like it. /var/log/wtmp is being written to just fine for successful attempts... [23:35] but yet, it still ask for password [23:36] here is the results :vishal@vishal-linux:/$ ls -la /home/ [23:36] total 12 [23:36] drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2007-12-17 19:27 .

Interesting that you mention the wireless, though; that's one of the problems I spotted with the hibernation - the wireless didn't get "re-booted". [23:37] !sonix chipset [23:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about sonix chipset - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:37] FreeTrav2: ah that's the trouble then [23:37] !sonix [23:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about sonix - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:37] Hello! I'm looking for someone with some specific experience with ntfs-3g. Specifically, if you create a file whose name contains a character not normally allowed in Windows (eg ':'), how does Windows feel about it? http://www.ntfs-3g.org/support.html#posixfilenames2 indicates it should be mostly okay, but has anyone here done it? [23:37] FreeTrav2: the wireless driver has to unload when you hibernate and be reloaded when you reboot === celsius is now known as celsius620 [23:37] does anybody know the command to kick users from the system? [23:37] i just installed Gutsy Gibbon on an old HP Pavilion 256MB/600Mhz/10Gb; I had to use alternate install CD because trying to start GDM turns the monitor permanently black [can't get to tty1]. I had to disable GDM in /etc/rc2.d/ in order to successfully boot. any ideas? [23:37] FreeTrav2: i think mine's like that too. lemme see where i set it [23:37] i have 4 idle sessions on my server i want to kill [23:38] poeloq: kill their pid [23:38] michael_: what model? [23:38] ls [23:38] ph|ber: how do I find out the PID_ [23:38] ps [23:38] poeloq: 'slay' works well [23:38] !lastb [23:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about lastb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:38] bummer [23:38] michael_: I just did the same thing and I had the same problem (Pavilion tablet pc tx1000z) [23:39] macogw: The other major apparent problem with hibernation is that it doesn't automaticaly unhibernate on cover-open; I have to hit the power button - but then, modulo the wireless, it seems to come up OK. I haven't really done thorough testing though. [23:39] alex: HP Paviliion XE736 inherited from a friend; has an aftermarket video card and i don't know how to find the model [23:39] Hi, anyone here using Quattro's Ubuntu Gutsy compiz-fusion-git repository? [23:39] FreeTrav2: you're supposed to have to hit the power button [23:39] (desktop box) [23:39] someone can sync a symbian mobile with Ubuntu? [23:39] michael_:anyway, try the noapic and rghb boot options [23:39] will do right now; what's each do? [23:39] macogw: OK; that's a little different from when this was a winbox. [23:39] macogw: I can deal with that. :) [23:40] michael_:noapic = doesn't do apic rghb = I have no clue but it worked for me :) [23:40] !webcams [23:40] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [23:40] FreeTrav2: might be mixing up suspend and hibernate [23:40] lol ok thanks, here we go.

[23:41] someone can sync a symbian mobile with Ubuntu?

[23:41] macogw: In suspend, does the computer "look like" it's been turned off? [23:41] Now all my music is one limp file [23:41] lump* [23:42] alex - my problem too! [23:42] is there any order in getting help? [23:42] huey, luck [23:42] that's a good order.. [23:42] Hotkey_: I doubt it, but you need to tell more information about your sound card before we know [23:43] does anyone know how I can check to see if my sound card is being detected? [23:43] alex [23:43] do you not hear music at all? [23:43] yes [23:43] how do i make a file writeable?? [23:43] or sound [23:43] Ericl80427: no, not at all and furthermore [23:43] alex how can i find tat info in gutsy? [23:43] hey all. can someone help me find the cause of ubuntu 7.10 randomly freezing? i don't know where to start [23:43] because mine makes extremely annoying beeping sounds and when its not, it doesnt play limewire music or music on videos on youtube or myspace [23:43] Ericl80427: the mute key on my laptop is showing me the sound is off even though it's not muted in the sound control panel (Ubuntu) [23:44] Does gusty nfs default to udp or tcp? [23:44] alex is there a "device mgr" in linux? [23:44] i need mine to be muted >.> [23:44] soccer_hawk10: First thing I'd do is boot off the Ubuntu liveCD and do the memory test! [23:44] ph|ber: Is that not only for processes. I want to kill a whole user (who is logged in several times) [23:44] Hotkey_: I don't know what that is to begin with [23:44] FreeTrav2: thanks, i'll do that [23:44] you will have to kill each PID for the shell they are in on [23:44] alex lol - how can i get info on sound card? [23:44] hotkey_: like the hal-device-manager ? [23:45] go to synapic [23:45] hi [23:45] hotkey_: or lshw [23:45] soccer_hawk10: I had that problem in WINDOWS with my "big" laptop, and it turned out that the mobo was flaking - if memtest freezes without reporting an error, you probably have some hardware problems... [23:45] dogfishguzzler: did you create the directory /mnt/doze2/MP3 before you did this? [23:45] Hotkey_: that's what im asking right now [23:45] brb [23:45] supp was thinking of windoze type [23:45] FreeTrav2: i havent done it in ages (used to suspend and put my laptop in my bag, but it would overheat, so i dont know), but i think it looks like its off til you hit the space bar or something [23:45] gunna restart my comp.. [23:45] FreeTrav2: i'm not anticipating thatsince XP is fine, but it can't hurt [23:45] alex - oops - ic [23:46] macogw: OK, thanks - may be worth comparing. [23:46] i have an are card it worked under feisty but it dosent since i upgraded wubi to 7.10, what should i do? [23:46] i hope that aren't floodbots [23:47] macogw: if not, I'll look at the wireless driver issue - you say I need to unload on hibernate and reload on unhibernate? [23:47] sysdef: don't worry [23:47] anyone familiar with wireshark [23:47] my nvidia MCP51 HD Audio card isn't working in my laptop, does anyone know how to fix this? [23:47] FreeTrav2: to make sure the module for your wireless gets unloaded and reloaded put it in the MODULES="" in /etc/default/acpi-support (use "gksu gedit /etc/default/acpi-support") [23:47] slugone: I've used wireshark a time or two [23:47] alex try sudo asoundconf list [23:48] anyone know how to fix the following error "symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g _once_init_enter_impl" My friend had X fall apart on her, i managed to fix it, but gdm and all gtk applications fail to run. I got her computer back up and running using kdm... but that doesnt solve the issue. My best guess whats to do a clean install of any package with libgtk and hope it fixs itself [23:48] okay is it supposed to auto detect my wireless card or is it manual configuration [23:48] !atheros [23:48] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:48] soundray yes [23:48] hey I have a question [23:48] if you have an idea for a new feature for ubuntu [23:48] and you want to submit it [23:48] im tryin to see how safe my home network is [23:48] Hotkey_: well a card shows up as NVidia, now what?

But the maintainer maintains that he wants to maintain the worrying names :) [23:50] Hotkey_: oh, ok.

[23:51] alex ic - doing a google a while ago i saw an update for that somewhere [23:51] I thought I did but it doesnt show up so no [23:51] hey guys..finally got gutsy installed and running perfect, then i upgraded my memory with 2 more 1 gig sticks giving a total of 2.5 gig, and now the machine locks.
