[00:00] You cant [00:00] thanks === Milotin1 is now known as Milotin [00:00] Neff: hmm.. let me check the guide you had there [00:00] it has an arrow but it doesnt do anything it lets you pick a line. but the text type field itself cannot be moved or adjusted [00:01] stefano: i can't boot.. [00:01] I know that has to be the problem though because when i only have one like it shows the line arrow [00:01] Neff: if you run ekiga from a terminal do you get errors? anything in syslog when you try activating video? [00:01] RD579: There should be a divider between the typing area and the chat box [00:01] stefano: because sata disabled and disappeared [00:01] * vincenz reboots [00:01] Slart: let me check [00:02] seqizz, right, so set your bios to factory settings if you think it's something wrong in there [00:02] RD579: Try making the typing area wider [00:02] thank you all [00:02] bye for now [00:02] ciao [00:02] <__sc> i have a problem where i can connect to wep protected networks, but not wpa ones. suggestions?

[00:02] stefano: my first idea was that ;) but not success.. [00:03] RD579: :) I had the same annoying proble the first time i moved to linux.. [00:03] Neff: run "tail -f /var/log/syslog" and then try ekiga.. see if anything pops up [00:03] Hi, [00:03] yeah it has been driving me nutz. [00:03] is there software that can make a vitual CD / DVD drive? [00:03] in Ubuntu? [00:03] Ok I got another question. === NoorIslam is now known as NoorulIslaam [00:04] Linux.com says you don't need anti-virus. [00:04] is that really true? [00:04] Ttech: you can mount image-files and use it like a cd/hard drive [00:04] Ttech: you don't need anything special to do that [00:04] RD579: you can take the risk, but there is ClamAV [00:04] __sc, some wireless drivers built into ubuntu don't have the ability to do wpa, try installing a windows driver for your card with ndiswrapper. now this is highly different for each card so you might want to search the ubuntu forums to see if someone had similar issues witht the same card. if you right click your network manager icon (next to the clock) and select (connecton information) [or similar] you see what driver you're using, that should [00:04] make for a good search string to find more. [00:04] can someone help me out with a display problem? [00:04] I saw clam av [00:04] Slart, does it mount like a CD. And is it easy to do. [00:04] seqizz, what did you do immediately before it stopped to work properly? [00:04] but I feel leaving any system unprotected is a bad idea [00:04] Ttech: it mounts like a cd/hard drive [00:05] do you use clam yourself? [00:05] Slart: http://rafb.net/p/M3Pswk53.html [00:05] I finely got my computer to work on a higher resolution, and it was working fine at the login screen [00:05] Slart: IS there an app? [00:05] <__sc> stefano: thanks! [00:05] RD579: yea [00:05] Slart, yes, there is a program called gmount-iso for that [00:05] How much of a performance hit is it? [00:05] Ttech: I haven't looked..ahh.. gmount-iso then =) [00:05] Slart: I'm a newbie so it's possible I made errors... but I cannot find the error (sorry for my bad english anyway... ) [00:05] however when I logged in, the screen went screwy, and there seemed to be 6 cursors on the screen with lines threw them, completely haywire, with nothing legible [00:06] Neff: your english is better than mine.. so no worries =) [00:06] but it was in 1280 X 800 at the login screen [00:06] What is going wrong :( [00:06] Slart: ;) [00:06] Neff: looks like it's finding the webcam alright... hang on.. I have to check the v4linux command line stuff [00:07] So.... I've gotten some progress [00:07] Neff: can you run "v4l-info"? in a terminal? [00:07] now when I boot, I get the grub program itself [00:07] but it won't boot my boot partition [00:07] samsung yp-u2j how do I get this to work with ubuntu? [00:07] Slart: No such file or directory [00:08] RD579: I'm not sure clamav does realtime scanning like the windows av.. but you'll have to check their website.. it might have changed [00:08] vincenz, maybe your partition is not marked "bootable". you should've done so in fdisk [00:08] useless in my ffreebsd [00:08] Neff: hmm.. ok "sudo apt-get install v4l-conf" [00:08] !info v4l-conf [00:08] v4l-conf: tool to configure video4linux drivers. In component universe, is extra. Version 3.95.dfsg.1-6ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 27 kB, installed size 180 kB [00:08] stefano: it is, now it will boot, straight into the grub program itsel like the one you can use to edit the grub ... [00:09] Slart: it was already installed... v4l-conf set to manual installed. [00:09] vincenz, and that is grub on your hard drive or on the cd? if it's the one on the hard drive you have to create the grup configuration files [00:09] stefano: the harddrive [00:09] Neff: ok.. can you run it in a terminal?

Today it was gone again... [00:17] can somone suggest an "unrar" program?

[00:17] How do I get compiz-fusion isntalled on kbuntu? I wasn't given an option for advanced desktop enhancements in the install process. [00:17] tacone: oh..have you tried repeating the steps in the howto? especially anything to do with the kernel? [00:17] emily: look in synaptics [00:17] emily: sudo aptitude install rar [00:17] pacman2, Register your nick and password by sending it to the "nickserv" robot: /msg nickserv register mysecret [00:17] Neighborlee, I did [00:17] emily, if you install the package unrar all your archive programms should be able to handle rar, for example file-roller [00:17] join dirty_hairy_ubuntu [00:17] Neighborlee, I did tht [00:17] sidewalk: just did..searched for rar and it returned like hundreds of results...but i just founda program called rar [00:18] Can anyone tell me why my other machine can't connect to the internet despite all configs being confirmed correct by your guys last night... only thing I can see is when I 1st boot up I get a message about 8139+ being the wrong driver & to try 8139too... I know how to edit but not which file to edit [00:18] got it [00:18] please can someone help me remove the historial of my network connections [00:18] Slart: lsmod says the module is loaded, but I am not expert enough in this kind of things to help him [00:18] tacone: what's the difference between aptitude and apt-get? [00:18] stefano: it's not free tho..is it gonna make me pay? [00:18] steel_lady: the what? browser history? [00:18] i type root (hd0,0) ,makeactive ,chainloader +1 in grub ,but it cannot boot windows ,help? [00:18] I just need to remove historial because it seems to have the same problem like in windows [00:18] ari_stress: don't know, they do quite the same thing, with different interface, I guess [00:18] tacone, Neff: the correct modules? I got the impression there were more than one [00:19] emily, this is free software as in freedom not as in free beer, so no it won't make you pay, but there is no source code available. never mind, it works just fine [00:19] stefano: got it..thanks [00:19] I have a problem with WINE and sound. Any one install it and can't hear sound? I am not sure how to troubleshoot this. On the audio tab it says sounds test failed. [00:19] Slart: the difference from yesterday is that he removed the old modules from /lib/modules as tutorial says in the beginning [00:19] Slart: I don't honestly can say if every needed module was loaded correctly... I'm a newbie so... [00:19] Beererde, no, I want to connect to my wireless. It remembers it could not connect with the old configuration and now it doesn't want to connect to the new one because it remembers [00:19] emily: this is why using rar is a bad idea [00:20] steel_lady: what program do you use? [00:20] RD579, maybe it works if you start your program with "aoss wine /path(to/windows/app.exe" [00:20] could someone tell me which file to edit to set 8139too as my eth0 driver [00:20] Beererde, for what? [00:20] RD579 I remember reading that it's hard to get USB sound cards working under wine [00:20] steel_lady: for connecting [00:20] grub cannot boot windows ,anyone knows how solve it? [00:21] Beererde can you hold the call now? [00:21] steel_lady: which program do you want to make forget the settings? [00:21] Its not a USB sound card. it is an ON board. [00:21] Token: ? [00:21] Neff: ok.. we'll start at the top.. "sudo rmmod ov511".. I think the new way of doing this is "sudo modprobe -r ov511" [00:21] RD579 ok [00:21] Stefano I tried that but aoss isnt a command it says. [00:21] when I go to network manager [00:21] Neff: and tell me if anything outputs any errors of messages other than "ok" [00:21] it remembers the settings of my wifi [00:21] steel_lady: you can try to remove its config directory, in ~/.appname [00:22] Slart: tacone: this is my lsmod output: http://rafb.net/p/eNxYEV41.html [00:22] Beererde I want it for my network manager [00:22] RD579, then i have no idea, sorry, but from what i read you use a usb sound card, right? that could be the problem.. they don't work very well in general. [00:22] Beererde i don't know how [00:22] Is anyone here familiar with grapewine+cedega? [00:22] steel_lady: then look if there is a dir named like your network manager in your home with a . [00:22] Beererde blast off... go figure! [00:22] Slart: I've to go out for a bit... I'll be here in 10-15 minutes... sorry! [00:22] Neff: follow slart suggestion and try to repeat everything with him from the start [00:22] stefano I DONT use a USB sound card, IT IS on board. ! ! ! [00:22] Beererde, no I don't see it [00:22] Token: what? [00:23] RD579, okay, well what happens if you just type aoss? [00:23] I cannot install anything on grapewine/cedega. [00:23] Beererde i get it [00:23] !stop | Token [00:23] Token: NOTICE - Please stop this discussion NOW. See !offtopic for things that are inappropriate to discuss in this channel. Continuing will result in action being taken. [00:23] Neff: ok.. I'm off to bed shortly though.. but my suggestion is doing everything again from the top.. you don't have to recompile.. but the other stuff [00:23] tacone ok [00:23] can anyone help me fix my graphics [00:23] steel_lady: dirs beginning with . are hidden by default, try to find the option for showing hidden files [00:23] RD579, writing in caps and using multiple exclaimation marks is considered shouting in irc, please don't shout at me, thanks :-) [00:23] Slart tacone, yes I'll do it again later.. brb [00:24] It says AOSS is not installed. [00:24] steel_lady you may have to use ctrl+h to see the hidden folders [00:24] Neff: try to come here tomorrow if you can't do it. :-) [00:24] I suppose you knew that sorry [00:24] I did a google for Aoss but I didnt find the answers I needed. [00:24] RD579, install it then, sudo apt-get install aoss [00:24] RD579: alsa-oss is the package I think [00:24] yes [00:24] ok [00:24] stefano wretched [00:24] tacone: the lsmod output looks ok to me.. but webcams are weird.. and webcam drivers even weirder.. I've given up on mine [00:25] joe@RD579:~$ sudo apt-get install alsa-aoss [00:25] Reading package lists... Done [00:25] Building dependency tree [00:25] Reading state information... Done [00:25] E: Couldn't find package alsa-aoss [00:25] I know you can encrypt your entire os. Is it possible to access files from an encrypted ubuntu install in the case it gets bricked/broken? [00:25] !find aoss [00:25] no its alsa-oss [00:25] RD579, that's alsa-oss not alsa-aoss [00:25] File aoss found in alsa-oss [00:25] eugman I'm pretty sure you can't [00:25] could someone please tell me which file I need to edit to change the driver for eth0????? [00:25] eugman: isn't the whole idea behind encrypting that such a thing shouldn't be possible? [00:25] Slart: I've given up on tvtuner, and just having one shuold make me pay taxes for it, in italy :-) [00:25] sudo apt-get install alsa-oss [00:25] But it's wouldn't be very good if you could would it [00:25] eugman: yes if you have an install or livecd somewhere with the same software as the encrypted ubuntu [00:26] tacone: hehe.. same thing here in sweden. [00:26] How can I check what version of gcc I am currently running? [00:26] MacTheMad: it loads the driver automatically, you cant chance it [00:26] eugman you mean using LVM encryption? [00:26] W1ZrD: gcc -v [00:26] W1ZrD: gcc -V ? [00:26] W1ZrD: gcc -v [00:26] :) [00:26] thanks [00:26] oh.. lower case v.. bah [00:26] eugman, if you forget your key it is virtually impossible to recover any data. [00:26] Slart: :-) [00:26] Goooooood Evening [00:26] I use that and ther eis no way of seeing what's in the encrypted volume and from what U read that's rather the point [00:26] Ok. Let me install it and I will try and run what comman aoss? [00:26] or alsa-oss /path/app [00:27] beererde: then why when it starts up does it say 8139+ don't work, try 8139too? [00:27] MacTheMad: did you install the other driver? then do modprobe drivername [00:27] RD579, "aoss " === dmitrig01|afk is now known as dmitrig01 [00:27] ./unix/cons -- gcc=gcc-4.1.2 g++=g++-4.1.2 <-- does that look correct then (since I have 4.1.2) [00:27] ok thanks. i will try that and report back. [00:27] do you recommend ubuntu, kubuntu, or xubuntu? [00:27] I compiled and installed Pidgin 2.3.0 using checkinstall. Now Update Manager thinks that the version of Pidgin in the repos is "newer" than the one I installed. Is there any way to tell it that mines newer? [00:28] Ok, so for some for of full operating system encryption it's possible to recover the files if you have the key even if the os itself is broken? [00:28] dmacnutt, if you have no real idea what the difference is, use ubuntu [00:28] Hi, I have a 5 button mouse, but only 3 buttons work. Anyone know how I can fix this? [00:28] dmitrig01 depends what you like xubuntu is faster loading :) [00:28] osbee: ease of use [00:28] vishal: you need to edit your xorg.conf, google for xorg mouse or sth [00:28] kde uses less resources than gnome though, especially with upcoming version [00:28] vishal, what type of mouse do you have? [00:28] osbee: it's my first windows [00:29] Beererde: stefano: its a Microsoft intellimouse [00:29] vishal, even with xorg.conf editing it still may not be supported/able [00:29] dmitrig01 some people say KDE (the Kubuntu desktop) is the most like Windows [00:29] W1ZrD, dmacnutt that's not true unfortunately, kde uses more system resources. [00:29] Does that help? [00:29] I didn't like it myself [00:29] well, I hate windows [00:29] vishal, give me one second [00:29] beererde: don't seem to do anything [00:29] i'm a macie [00:29] Does anyone else think the built in media play in Ubuntu sucks BIUG TIME? [00:29] MacTheMad: then look what it says in dmesg [00:30] RD579, what do you want for FREE ? [00:30] MacTheMad: if it does not say something, thats a good sign, no errors.. [00:30] vishal, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=388161 there you go [00:30] stefano are you a dolt pony? [00:30] Anyone have any idea? [00:30] Well what I was gonna ask iswhat does everyone use? The built in wont play some media types without crashing. sigh [00:30] dmitrig01 I think Gnome of the best desktop and that's in Ubuntu [00:30] RD579: vlc [00:30] osbee: ok [00:31] RD579, i don't think so, there are plenty alternatives however :-) [00:31] RD579, that's also why there's things like Synaptic and Add/Remove apps [00:31] well I'm downloading ubuntu [00:31] MacTheMad: /etc/modules [00:31] stefano: awesome thank you very much [00:31] MacTheMad: you got your network issue fixed? what was wrong? [00:31] stefano, that was my problem. there are too many choices! [00:32] looks like 6.06 is the last version of Ubuntu for PPC? Is that right anyone? [00:32] dmacnutt, this is more of a religious discussion, after all you have to find out yourself what you like best. but ubuntu with the gnome desktop is a great start [00:32] I wanted divx, but it isnt worth running it through WINE, id rather something be OS supported before turning to WINE. === Tribes_ is now known as Tribes [00:32] RD579: use mplayer, it can play most videos without any additional codecs [00:32] RD579: so install a xvid or ffmpeg etc [00:32] RD579, divx is supported perfectly fine. just open the file in totem and it should promt you for codecs. [00:32] osbee: do you know how I boot form CD in windows? [00:32] dmitrig01 why don't you try all three live CDs and see which you like before installing any? That would be my advice if you're not sure. [00:32] wols: did that... now what [00:32] Anyone know how to tell Update Manager that the version I have installed IS the newest? [00:33] slart: NO [00:33] MacTheMad: reboot to see if the correct driver comes up [00:33] osbee: ok [00:33] dmitrig01 I never tried it that way but the live CDs just boot into the OS from the CD drive [00:33] what is totem? [00:33] osbee: ok [00:33] !totem [00:33] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [00:33] RD579: a mediaplayer [00:33] dmitrig01, put the cd in your drive and reboot, if it doesnt start from the cd you have to change the primary boot device in the bios (tell it from what drive it should first try to boot) [00:34] * dmitrig01 likes *nice* guys in open source, and osbee is on my whitelist! thanks for the advice [00:34] stefano: thanks [00:34] but mplayer is better [00:34] wols: but do I want to edit anything there? [00:34] what's the bios? [00:34] MacTheMad: I told you what to edit [00:34] dmitrig01: do you want to boot windows or ubuntu? [00:35] hello [00:35] wols_: ubuntu [00:35] wols: yes & I opened the file but what do I add? 8139too? [00:35] wols_: off a live cd [00:35] MacTheMad: yes [00:35] dmitrig01, the bios is what first appears when you start up your computer. to enter the bios menu (where you can set the boot device) you normally have to press some key right at the very start of the boot. your screen should say something like "Press DEL to enter BIOS" (may be another key) [00:35] wols: ok, ty [00:35] dmitrig01: for how to get into BIOS, check your mainbaord or you computer manual [00:35] ok thanks [00:35] stefano is now on my list too [00:35] :-) [00:36] I've uninstalled firestarter and purged it. How do i check if it is still running? [00:36] my pwc webcam worked well in feisty but not in gutsy. is it okay if I just install the pwc driver from the fiesty repos? :D [00:36] esteth: if you unisntalled it it's not running anymore [00:36] esteth, this command "ps aux" will tell you what programs are running === coldtek_ is now known as coldtek [00:36] wers: you will need to recompile it [00:36] stefano I thought most bioses read floppy,cd,hd in that order by default? Do you often have to actually change the sequence? [00:36] I cannot install a *.sh file using this cmd: "sudo /Desktop/./install-crossover-pro-6.2.0.sh" [00:36] UBUNTUISLOVED [00:37] osbee: no. you can set what they should read in what order [00:37] stefano: Thanks [00:37] wols_, I can't use the one in fiesty? [00:37] kazol: sudo sh shfile [00:37] wers: you might if you compile it [00:37] osbee, most old bios' don't, some bios have boot menus, it is different for every mainboard unfortunately [00:37] kazol: sudo sh...

X is that thing that makes graphics appear on the screen, and gnome draws windows and buttons and all that, you have both installd and you have to use X to configure your input devices. gnome just sits on top of X [00:44] dragonforce99: usually its not a good idea to change the permissions on system folders [00:44] JimmyDee does that link help?

[00:53] nealmcb: mplayer with additional codec pack [00:53] !realmedia [00:53] RD579: cool [00:53] !codecs [00:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about realmedia - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:54] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [00:54] MacTheMad: then copy+paste it [00:54] RD579, great :D [00:54] I didn't find anything that really worked with Real Media but it was awhile ago I tried [00:54] wols: kinda hard to do when the 2 machines won't talk to each other [00:54] Is it working now === cryptnix- is now known as cryptnix [00:54] but it says could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound. [00:54] yeah the video works [00:55] MacTheMad: look to the right of your left shift key [00:55] RD579: -ao help [00:55] but now sound doesnt [00:55] RD579: mplayer -ao help will give you a list of sounddevs to try [00:55] -ao help ? [00:55] you seem to have some strange system setup there :( [00:55] RD579: does sound work for anything in your pc? [00:55] yes [00:55] wols: for what? there's no key on my keyboard with a vertical line [00:55] RD579: then try another sound driver with mplayer [00:56] when I write a WPA Personal key in ubuntu it connects well, but after a reboot it doesn't connect, I have to write the WPA Personal key again and it works, but after a reboot it doesn't... and so on... what can I do to make Ubuntu keep the correct key between boots? [00:56] how do i switch drivers through the gui or cmd? [00:56] RD579: oss, alsa, arts, sdl, pcm, any of these [00:56] I added an exec command to the rc.local script, and rebooted my computer. The script, however, never worked. The file I wanted never executed. What do I need to do to get it to execute? [00:56] when i type in cp -R it just copies the folder itself, i'm trying to move all the in the folder to another folder without making it a subdirectory [00:56] MacTheMad: what keyboard layout is it? [00:56] DisabledDuck: cp * [00:56] Beererde you mean like mplayer -oss? [00:56] I have to go now - nite all [00:56] through CMD ? [00:57] Beererde: Which codec pack? the advice at restrictedformats points to the outdated realplayer wiki page I already mentioned [00:57] RD579: mplayer -ao oss bla.mpg [00:57] wols: us english... 104 keys I think [00:57] then you have such a key, right there [00:57] nealmcb: do you have mplayer? the codec pack is on their page too [00:57] what key is right of your left shift key? [00:57] if it works do I have to type that everytime to play a video? [00:57] Beererde: yes I have mplayer [00:57] RD579: no, you can write it to ~/.mplayer/config [00:57] wols_: that question just made my brain explode. [00:58] bofh80, I read you there but I think you can not see me [00:58] LjL: Oh ye of small brains :P [00:58] nealmcb: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html [00:58] wols: nope... I've got a z right next to my left shift key but that's about it [00:58] LjL: you tell him about the pipe symbol [00:58] MacTheMad: lappy? [00:58] Today I was reminded on how ATI's drivers suck [00:59] wols_: i don't quite remember where that is on a UK keyboard [00:59] LjL: I don't even have a UK keyboard [00:59] alka_trash, true [00:59] err, US, what he said [00:59] on gutsy, ulike on fiesty, my webcam is very choppy [00:59] any ideas/ [00:59] MacTheMad: where is the key for greater than and smaller than on your keyboard? [00:59] wers: maybe of different kernel [01:00] MacTheMad: the <> ones? [01:00] hmm, I can't get it to boot from the cd [01:00] ooooh. Beererde, what can you suggest? [01:00] wols: to the left of my right shift [01:00] if you say so [01:00] I went to the bios [01:00] on my uk keyboard, pipe is the shift'd character between the z and left shift [01:00] what do I do now? [01:00] hello Santa! [01:00] When i turn on from a hibernate the entire screen is grey, anyone know how that can be fixed [01:00] (I'm in the bios as we speak) [01:00] wers: try the system for which it works, kernel update is not easy. i guess they changed the realtime behavior [01:00] dmitrig01: there should be something about what order to boot [01:00] rainwalker: yes [01:01] Can I tell you my christmas list? [01:01] dmitrig01: won't help. every BIOS is different [01:01] radar1976: no [01:01] dmitrig01: go into that and set your cd drive to be the first thing to boot from [01:01] rainwalker: I chose "removable devices", then "CD-ROM Drive" [01:01] Beererde, in other words, I should not use this webcam with gutsy? [01:01] huh? wols_ you are not santa [01:01] dmitrig01: set your cd drive to be first [01:01] ok [01:01] did that [01:01] wols: thanks but I'm calling it a night... too frustrated... gonna smash the darn thing if I keep at it... ty & later [01:01] hi, who can I talk to about mirroring [01:01] I'm talking to SANTAbios [01:01] radar1976: you are not a little kid either. don't be OT [01:01] wers: yeah, always try to use the config for which it works best :) [01:01] ok totally off-topic but with over a 1000 people here including bots I have a song drivin me nuts it features a cello and a female vocalist sounds a bit like kate bush and its being played a lot on the radio any one got any idea's please :) [01:01] have a problem with my soundblaster [01:02] wols_: i wonder if the interactive keyboard layout detector that's in the installer can be run stand-alone [01:02] When i turn on from a hibernate the entire screen is grey, anyone know how that can be fixed? [01:02] Beererde, that makes sense. Is there any way for me to use older kernels on gutsy? :) [01:02] nope [01:02] just try the nodeadkeys variant [01:02] but my kid is sitting beside me... [01:02] dmitrig01: ok, then put in the live cd and restart [01:02] it doesn't recognize the CD [01:02] hi, who can I talk to about mirroring [01:02] is it ok if I already had it in? [01:02] wers: yeah you can try to compile your own kernel, look in google. but it is not for beginners. there are many many tuning options then [01:02] need help concerning soundblaster driver [01:03] oooh. okay, Beererde. thanks :) [01:03] dmitrig01: as long as your cd drive is the first thing set to boot from on that list, you should be fine [01:03] dmitrig01: assuming your live cd is burned correctly [01:03] I guess not :( [01:04] does anyone know how I can install an older version of a package? [01:04] umurtu: what soundblaster? [01:04] Hey, I'm running Ubuntu from my 7.10 Live CD at the moment, because I'm getting a kernel panic message whenever I try to boot my normal install.

[01:04] Soskel: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors?action=show&redirect=Archive may have some info [01:04] soundblaster 5.1 [01:04] racerx: it isn't always possible, but you can try « sudo apt-get install packagename=versionnumber » [01:04] sigh [01:04] LjL: I have looked at that, but I still have questions [01:05] umurtu: have you got onboard sound? [01:05] my sound card driver uninstalled itself some how [01:05] reinstalling drivers.... [01:05] Soskel: #ubuntu-mirrors [01:05] thanks [01:05] LjL: do I need to uninstall the current version [01:05] is there a guiapp in ubuntu to change resolutions?

I was told it was ctrl+shift [01:06] I edited my rc.local file to execute a file on my desktop at startup, but when i reboot it doesn't do it... what do I need to do to get it to do it? [01:06] cannot hear anything .. and cannot turn off the center speaker voice [01:06] Is there a way to output 1366x768 over VGA? I got a 32" LCD TV I'd like to hook up to my computer. Do I need to get a DVI capable card? [01:06] Beererde: nope, no luck [01:06] falieson: there is an app, i can't remember the name .. i'll search [01:06] stuporglu1: your TV takes digital signal, therefor you need to be able to send digital [01:06] umurtu: have you got onboard sound? [01:07] nop [01:07] anyone know if theres a way to tell update manager that the version i have installed is newer than the one in the repos? [01:07] umurtu: at the top, where the time is, double click on the volume control [01:07] Is there any way to repair or upgrade my kernel from the Live CD? [01:07] falieson: System > Preferences > Screen Resolution ?

[01:08] falieson: It's got a VGA port on it and I'm typing this using the TV as a monitor right now, but only at 1024x768, not at the native screen resolution of 1366x768 [01:08] wols_: Is there a tutorial that will tell me how to do that? [01:08] yeah its there [01:08] !grub SufferingfromPan [01:08] Anyone? [01:08] soundblaster sb live [01:08] !grub | SufferingfromPan [01:08] tacone: I switch it, but it doesn't really switch [01:08] SufferingfromPan: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [01:08] !boot dragonforce99 [01:08] umurtu: is it the first one? [01:08] SufferingfromPan: it's the same as reinstalling grub after installing windows.just you don#t install grub but a kernel then [01:09] no its the 2nd choice [01:09] does anyone know a Quick and dirty way to turn a laptop into an Access point, assuming that eth0 is wired and connected and wlan0 is my pcmcia Wifi card? I don't need any security, and this doen't need to survive a reboot. (Wanna play online Tony Hawk with my DS casue I'm stuck in my cubicle)) [01:09] the 1st one is the built one .. intel [01:09] Ahh, thanks. [01:09] LJL: It said that my version could not be found. I'm have ruby 1.8.6 and I want to go back to 1.8.5. Are the packages available on the ubunut repositories once there is an update? [01:09] tacone: Beererde: but hey - these resolution preferences are made for this particular screen, I'm having troubles moving it over to my phillips tv, getting "unsupported video format" error [01:09] umurtu: hold on, just gonna check my history for a link [01:09] ok [01:09] falieson: maybe ubuntu didn't recognize the right monitor ? [01:10] I'd search for "gutsy [monitor product name]" in google [01:10] Cubexombi: there should be an option in the tray application where you config your card (if you use gnome) [01:10] falieson: you have multi monitor? [01:10] Beererde: so are the mplayer codec packs not packaged for ubuntu? I don't even see a README in /usr/share/doc/mplayer/ and the installation places mentioned in the README in th e binary codecs package don't exist (e.g. /usr/local/lib/codecs/ and /usr/lib/codecs/) [01:10] racerx: they are, but only if there *was* an update. ruby1.8 was never updated AFAICS - it was 1.8.6 right when Gutsy was released [01:10] I tried but it seems to want to disconnect my eth0.. which doesn't help seeing as i need taht for the bridge [01:10] tacone: how do I tell it to detect other monitor?

[01:16] ubotu: not a matter of linux. the topic of *this channel* says: Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. [01:16] I'll remember that, LjL [01:16] Ubuntnoob, go to linux.com [01:16] i dont understand eery corner [01:16] erg [01:16] nothing happened [01:16] Ubuntnoob: not a matter of linux. the topic of *this channel* says: Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. [01:16] umurtu: try that link and read this section : Configuring default soundcards / stopping soundcards from switching [01:16] so do i just wait for a download to fix it [01:16] Cytrox, go to the freenode homepage and it will explain it for you [01:16] Ubuintunoob you want flash to work? [01:16] Is there a program like BabelMap for Linux? [01:16] ok [01:16] Actually, the flash plugin works for me, LJL [01:16] which link/ [01:16] when trying to boot up ubuntu on my laptop it stays at a blinking prompt after teh ubuntu loading bar screen how can i fix this? [01:17] Ubuntnoob: yes, if you can wait that would be best [01:17] umurtu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting?highlight=%28sound%29 [01:17] i dont get a spash screen in my computer [01:17] im actually just looking for help with phpbb 3 [01:17] does it take about 5 minutes to boot? [01:17] ok let me see [01:17] mongo1: try to disable the floppy disk in bios [01:17] dragonforce99: if you didn't install it during the last two weeks or so, then it will. [01:17] its just grey for awhile then it loads [01:17] <|_ocke> if my hardware acceleration is not working right in linux, and I run my windows partition in vmware, it doesnt use windows hardware acceleration does it? [01:17] setting it up, and i cant join the phpbb channel [01:17] Beererde: there is no floppy disk on this laptop [01:17] - one sec.. I'll get you the fix fo e the boot splash [01:17] |_ocke: it doens't [01:17] LJL: i installed it today. However, im only using the standalone player [01:17] k [01:17] !brokenusplash > Ubuntnoob (Ubuntnoob, see the private message from Ubotu) [01:17] umurtu: once you've edited that file restart and it should work, thats how i fixed mine earlier today [01:17] !phpbb [01:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about phpbb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:17] <|_ocke> i didnt think so [01:18] mongo1: yes and that's the problem sometimes, there is a controller but no drive. disable the controller [01:18] |_ocke: it doesn't even if enabled on linux [01:18] how do i tell ubuntu to boot in safe graphical mode? I'm getting "out of frequence" error [01:18] Cubexombi: it doesn't boot at all its sitting at a prompt right now still approaching 10mins [01:18] i have a dell inspiron 1501 [01:18] <|_ocke> so the only way i can really play any games is if i boot to windows :P [01:18] beererde: ok well how do i disable it? [01:18] does grub even load? [01:18] Oh hey, look, a "restricted drivers manager" ....maybe this will help. :D [01:18] mongo1: look in your bios, every one is different [01:18] the reason im now using linux is because i couldnt get wireless in the past [01:18] mongo1: maybe "chipset config" [01:18] |_ocke: yes. or enable acceleration in linux and play linux games [01:19] has anyone ever tried frets on fire fo linux? [01:19] cubexombi: grub = where i can choose between which stuff to boot? [01:19] Ubuntnoob: yeah it works [01:19] when i try to change the settings the screen goes away to the desktop and wont let me move my mouse [01:19] then im froze [01:19] |_ocke: ironically, some virtualization software for macosx allows for hardware acceleration, nothing yet on linux, to my knowledge [01:19] - "cat /etc/usplash.conf" in a terminal window lemme know if the resolution is too high for you monitor [01:19] but i know that if you press Ctrl, Alt, Escape you can browse to the top screen bars by keyboard [01:19] <|_ocke> tacone, the hardware accel for my card is very poor, i have xgl but any other progs i try to run it crashes [01:20] that the stuff ... whats it do when you get there, just start to load and tehn go black? [01:20] |_ocke: I don't have that problem, very sorry about that. [01:20] what can i do if my audio is 3 seconds ahead of my video on youtube on any browser i use??? [01:20] i load up the one i want... it does the loading bar then it hangs at a prompt [01:20] skullhead: update flash [01:20] trying beererde suggestion right now 1 sec [01:21] skullhead: shoot the adobe guys [01:21] skullhead: an email [01:21] hi [01:21] - for the black boot screen without the splash -- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49236/ [01:21] I need a circuit simulator... any suggestion? [01:22] - that will get the splash back and working properly [01:22] Beererde: that is indeed one of the places it looks. seems that the needed codec, avisynth.dll , is not in the "essential" codecs referred to from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html [01:22] maddash: so adobes whos messing it up? [01:22] do you know when hardy is comming out? [01:22] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49236/ - may fix your splash screen issue at bootup [01:23] - 2008/04 [01:23] ok [01:23] i cant wait i guess [01:23] - Did you get the pastebin link i sent you? [01:23] will give me time to adjust to my new os [01:23] yes [01:23] nealmcb: hmm that's bad.. do you have a windows where you can get it? [01:23] nealmcb: maybe it's on dllfiles.com [01:23] but i still dont know how ot use tar files [01:23] or rpm [01:23] - that should fix the black screen at boot up.. [01:24] i got the alien package [01:24] but i dont now how to convert [01:24] - as for the tar, what are you trying to install? [01:24] adobe [01:24] lol [01:24] nealmcb: what do you want to play? quicktime? it's strange, it should play out of the box [01:24] - as in flash? [01:24] yea [01:24] it says its already installed in browser [01:24] Ubuntnoob: rpm files aren't for ubuntu [01:24] Beererde: http://mfile.akamai.com/7870/rm/mitstorage.download.akamai.com/7870/8/8.01/f99/videolectures/wl99lec11-300k.rm [01:24] you can convert rpm files with the alien package [01:25] that is one of the free online MIT physics courses [01:25] also i dont know if its me or not [01:25] what it do? [01:25] - gimme a sec.. I'll find teh patch that will do it for you [01:25] hijay, When ubuntu boots, I get a fsck exit status 8 and a shell. Each time I have to ctrl+D to continue the boot process. It happens twice every boot! Any idea what I could do? [01:25] Ubuntnoob: true, but usually it's better to find ones that are meant to be debs [01:25] <[gquit]bombadil> is there any way to theme the panels? [01:25] go into terminal and type "yes it is!" it repeats it alot but doesnt do anything [01:25] <[gquit]bombadil> in gnome? [01:25] nealmcb: ah, that's a streaming link not the actual file [01:25] [gquit]bombadil: right-click on them and mess around with the properties [01:25] Ubuntnoob: you can convert them, but it's usually a terribly bad idea. [01:26] * rainwalker agrees with LjL [01:26] sorry, that was not just to hijay... to everyone :) [01:26] i want to know why it rpeats yes it is! [01:26] Ubuntnoob: it has something to do with the ! mark I think, I noticed that before, when you type stuff ending with one that it usually repeats [01:27] is kubuntu stable compare to xubuntu? [01:27] i just got mad when i tried to run an installer and it said command does not exist [01:27] i typed yes it is! and it just repeated it like crazy [01:27] Ubuntnoob: first RPM packages, then "installers"... you're trying to break your system immediately, aren't you? [01:27] !software > Ubuntnoob (Ubuntnoob, see the private message from Ubotu) [01:27] well i just started yesterday [01:27] Ubuntnoob: you're not supposed to talk back to your terminal, you know :) [01:27] fsck message is "Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda2" but /dev/sda2 is not mounted. Any pointers ? [01:28] Ubuntnoob: anyway, yes, it's the exclamation mark [01:28] is there a way to get text to speech for firefox? a plugin you can get for it. or every a easy to use program that could read text inputted into it ? [01:28] i have no idea how this os runs [01:28] how do you DNS? [01:28] - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3923465 Go here look for the blue text to tell you which .deb to downlaod for the flash patch. it'll take care of the installation for you [01:28] like, in mIRC it's /dns blah.blah.net [01:28] Ubuntnoob: yeah it's weird converting to ubuntu, but it's worth it [01:28] thx [01:28] so far i think so [01:28] its fast [01:28] i have more memory [01:28] Ubuntnoob: well if you just started yesterday, then be careful about installing things and such. ask here first. as a general rule, you should ONLY install packages from the repositories, and ONLY install stuff that isn't in there if you REALLY know what you're doing [01:28] has all my programs [01:28] !packages > Ubuntnoob (Ubuntnoob, see the private message from Ubotu) [01:28] tarelerulz: firefox should work with linux screen readers [01:28] and its easier with synaptics packet manager [01:29] is kubuntu stable compare to xubuntu? [01:29] cheiron_: in xchat its just like in mIRC [01:29] GHOST, perhaps better ask in #kubuntu and/or #xubuntu, although that's a very subjective question i feel. [01:29] Ubuntnoob: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=644478 [01:29] better go to bed lol [01:29] GHOST: Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Ubuntu should all be reasonably stable if you're running the non-beta version [01:29] Ubuntnoob: I just converted this week, and what's keeping me here is compiz fusion, google and and try install that [01:29] its awesome [01:29] but I want CLI [01:29] better go to bed lol ty [01:29] anyone know why my mdadm raid1 is not accessible anymore after upgrading to 7.10? [01:30] chesty: "host hostname" or "host IP-address" [01:30] cheiron_: there its "host" [01:30] merci [01:30] - did you get a chance to try to install the patch from the page I sent you? [01:30] no i have to register [01:31] did you get the black screen after bot fixed? [01:31] im gonna get it out of the way [01:31] my root partition just got hosed and its reiserfs.. i have rebuilt the superblock, attempted to rebuild-tree and it crashes out.. X wont start anymore but i can still mount it and access files [01:31] do you nkow how wine works? [01:31] i have emus [01:31] but they are exes [01:31] Ubuntnoob: emus? [01:31] emulators [01:31] nes [01:31] snes [01:31] - I don't know If I'd even attept to run an emu under wine, [01:31] etc [01:32] Ubuntnoob: there are NES and SNES emulators for Ubuntu too. [01:32] sweet [01:32] ill checkem out sometime [01:32] - you can just get the linux versions and use em natively [01:32] what about psx?> [01:32] Ubuntnoob: zsnes is one of them [01:32] i had an ehrgeiz file on my psx emualtor [01:32] !info pcsx > Ubuntnoob [01:32] does the latest ubuntu use ordered mode when formatting reiser by default? i've been told that filesystem corruption is expected behaviour, that only the metadata can guarantee consistensy [01:32] it's there too, you'll still need the rom image (if you've got it working under win32 the rom you've got should be fine [01:33] wtf? [01:33] Ubuntnoob: wtf what? [01:33] all the commands [01:33] remindes me of this game i played a long time ago [01:33] astonia [01:33] psx emu's still need a boot rom to work, (need to know which version of a PSX it is) [01:33] Ubuntnoob, i made Ubotu send you a private message [01:33] you can change your colors of clothes by typing in weird commands [01:33] Ubuntnoob: i'll make it send you some more about (S)NES emulators [01:33] Beererde: the original link is at http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Physics/8-01Physics-IFall1999/VideoLectures/detail/Video-Segment-Index-for-L-11.htm that eventually resolves to pnm://a867.v78704.c7870.g.vr.akamaistream.net/ondemand/7/867/7870/v0001/mitstorage.download.akamai.com/7870/8/8.01/f99/videolectures/wl99lec11-300k.rm and mplayer on that says " You need to obtain a new player to play this clip. Please point your web browser to http://www.real. [01:33] snadge: sound like the shortest way to get working again it to extract whatever you can from root to a backup and reinstall, too much needles in haystack to fix everything manually... [01:34] I try the search file fuction yet it never comes up with anything... how can I search for a file in my computer? [01:34] nealmcb: yeah i tried to dload the actual file with wget, but i get 404, same with mplayer [01:34] KinPumpkinKing: what search function are you using? [01:34] 404? [01:34] nealmcb: 404 = not found [01:34] ifireball: i think you might be right, the problem is.. i still want to use reiserfs, and I know that I can give it parameters which can guarantee full integrity of filesystem after abnormal shutdown [01:34] i'll try again [01:34] rainwalker, tracker searching tool or something lie that [01:34] Beererde: yeah - but I got to all the links I tried. that was mplayer error [01:35] nealmcb: yeah now it shows that for me too [01:35] **like [01:35] KinPumpkinKing: eww, I personally don't like tracker, it never worked for me. you could try beagle instead [01:35] is there a way to put multiple linux isos onto one dvd? [01:35] rainwalker, do I have to install that? [01:35] nealmcb: they want to force their shitty format ... [01:35] damn codecs.... [01:35] or does it come with 7.10? [01:35] After upgrading to 7.10, the boot process stops with fsck error into a shell. How could I resolve this problem ? [01:35] someone mentioned that recent kernels use this "ordered" mode by default.. which is more reliable [01:35] KinPumpkinKing: yeah, just search for "beagle" in Synaptic [01:35] rainwalker, hmkay, thank you! [01:35] Beererde: but why is MIT putting up with this? sigh [01:35] wellim gonna get off [01:36] thanks for the help everyone [01:36] What is an equivalent app to compiz? (I have experienced instability). [01:36] Ubuntnoob: as you can see, there is a low of choice with (S)NES emulators [01:36] - have fun [01:36] gets me started on my OpenSource OS stuff [01:36] no need to use WINE really [01:36] low=lot [01:36] Later and Thans [01:36] snadge: well I don't think its worth it, maybe you can pre-create the FS from the live-CD and have the installer use the ready made one [01:36] thanks! [01:36] kazol: none really [01:36] geeze [01:36] cubexombi where do i go so i can check/change the resolution [01:36] ? [01:36] alguien que me ayude soy nuevo en esto [01:37] when it boots you mean?

I will come back and search for you... thank you very much for your help tonight [01:37] nealmcb: yeah really strange, they should avoid such sh** [01:37] stefano: i can't get into ubuntu [01:37] nealmcb: but i think i once played a rm with mplayer, but i had the actual file so the server could not check my version [01:37] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49236/ [01:37] got problem while trying 2 install soundblaster [01:37] I'm a bit confused: What decides which distribution version a package is built for? I always thought the "distribution" field in the changelog decided this, but now I see that the packages that don't have an -ubuntuX revision still has "unstable" as their distribution from when they were merged from Debian. [01:37] mongo1, try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [01:38] Beererde: oh - you think the server is refusing?? [01:38] thats pretty much how to get rid of the black screen when booting [01:38] nealmcb: yes [01:38] configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [01:38] Cubexombi: i can't get to any terminal, how do i get to one to check/change all that [01:38] nealmcb: "input_pnm: got message from server while reading stream: [01:38] You need to obtain a new player to play" [01:38] !build-essential > umurtu (umurtu, see the private message from Ubotu) [01:38] tacone Slart good night ;) [01:38] Beererde: the question is whether it is trying to be helpful or trying to get in the way... [01:38] ok [01:38] Mongol, when you're at grub, hit esc, and boot into "recovery mode" or whatever you have it labeled as [01:38] do you have an idea what could be a very good and well supported webcam for linux? [01:39] i have a problem with autogen, strange error : http://de.pastebin.ca/827847 [01:39] !webcam > alesan (alesan, see the private message from Ubotu) [01:39] nealmcb: it is getting in the way because they want you to download their player [01:39] After upgrading to 7.10, the boot process stops with fsck error into a shell. Any help with this? [01:39] recovery mode hangs at a certain line too :-/ [01:39] ychat: run fsck manually from that shell [01:40] mongol. oooh not so fun. do you know where it's hanging? or does it just stop loading altogether?

[01:45] nealmcb: ERROR: Could not open required DirectShow codec sipr.bundle/Contents/MacOS/sipr. [01:45] stefano: im trying to start compiz, and it is not letting me [01:45] LjL, mount /dev/sda2 ..etc does not work, but mount /dev/mapper/sda2 ... etc works... this could be a (the?) problem, right? [01:45] so i figured my card was not working [01:45] nealmcb: seems we are missing the real audio decoder [01:45] Tomterer, alt+f2 is the short command to bring up the application launcher [01:45] mongol, just a stab in the dark but that error seems to be processor related, may be looking for something yours doesn't support.. WHY though is beyond me... someone else in here may be better equiped at answering that. [01:45] no shit cleaton_ :S [01:45] ychat: i don't know, to be honest. never used mount with /dev/mapper/* [01:46] RoxanneEDM, that is a very common problem with ati 9000 series cards. i'm sure you can find help at ubuntuforums.org for a lot of people have this problem [01:46] Beererde: ahh yes - "Cannot find codec for audio format 0x72706973." [01:46] RoxanneEDM, hope that helps [01:46] Tomterer, then why'd you ask? [01:46] Cubexombi: I hit alt+f2 at the loading bar screen... it looks like its stoping at "*Starting anac(h)ronistic cron anacron" [01:46] thank you [01:46] old ati card? [01:46] I asked what's up with him saying that, not what the command does [01:46] nealmcb: hmm.. [01:46] guys need help concerning soundblaster driver [01:46] yeah its a few years old [01:46] LjL,I see. okay. Where csn I ask ? (which channel?) [01:46] oh my god! i just realised why my reiserfs filesystem is severely corrupted, and yet im still able to mount it and access files [01:47] snadge, then you should back up your files [01:47] its because its ext3 (hides) i could've sworn i set this pc up.. oops ;) [01:47] better start backing up, snadge ;) [01:47] !backup [01:47] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [01:47] gimme one sec to get all my laptop doc gathered (i'm using the Opensourse radeon driver (as opposed to the ATI binary) gutsy and compiz looking good) [01:47] guys need help concerning soundblaster driver [01:47] Tomterer, is shift-M doing what you wanted in top? [01:47] ye thanks [01:47] Cubexombi: thank you very much [01:47] lol [01:47] ychat, this. hopefully someone will know. or you could try ##linux too, i suppose. all i know is that if the filesystem is mounted read-only, fsck should work without complaining [01:48] I always wondered what the "sl"package did [01:48] im surprised reiserfs tools didnt severely corrupt the ext3 filesystem [01:48] what is the difference between reiser ans ext3 ? [01:48] mongol, hmm.. Not too sure what would stop it there.. [01:48] uhoh [01:48] Tomterer, type just "h" in top to get the full options list. [01:48] LjL, okay. Thanks for the help. [01:48] i just saw pages of inodes flying past and now prompted with Fix? it seems daunting.. [01:48] ekim|dt-linux, both are linux file systems. if you're unsure what to use, choose ext3, it is more stable. raiserfs is a bit faster though [01:49] Cubexombi: :( this was working yesterday and then i had to go and reformat/install ./cry [01:49] also... can I do ssh-ftp within putty when I have an open session=? [01:49] you're gonna have a little biut of work cut out for you.. gimme a moment and I'll paste bin it.. [01:49] Lately my whole system has been lagging [01:49] and it's not as bad as I make it seem.. [01:49] it's weird. [01:49] Cubexombi: thank you [01:49] lol [01:50] i wonder if i have a memory leak or something. [01:50] makes no sense. [01:50] Tomterer, yes. the command for that would be fcp (try "man fcp" or "fcp --help" on how to use it) [01:50] Tomterer, "man scp" [01:50] oh god [01:50] scp [01:50] not fcp [01:50] ok thanks [01:50] which card exactly do you have? you can lspci in a terminal and you should see it there? [01:50] 1spci [01:50] eh? [01:51] Cubexombi: Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 [Radeon 9000] (Secondary) (rev 01) [01:52] need help in soundblaster driver [01:52] RoxanneEDM, i'm pretty sure there is a howto on how to fix this in the forums [01:52] umurtu, what card is it exactly? [01:52] I need help with the installation of Ubuntu. I installed it on several machines, so I'm not a newbie. [01:52] nealmcb: some sites i found with google say it should work with the packages from mplayerhq... [01:52] soundblaster emu10k1 [01:52] DjangosTiger, what is the problem? [01:53] But when I tried to install it on my desktop box, it wouldn't detect my hard drive. [01:53] haha cool introduction :D [01:53] anybody know how to get wifi working on a 2nd gen macbook (core2 duo), ubuntu 7.10? i've tried madwifi current and svn with no luck. i've tried many variations of things found via google (forums, etc.) [01:53] stefano: i was looking, but nothing seemed quite right [01:53] error could not open required directshow codec wmvdmod.dll in Mplayer anyone know why??? [01:53] umurtu, from what i recall this card should work. did you try to disable onboard sound in your bios? [01:53] how should i disable it/ [01:53] I thought the CD might have an error, so I tried re-burning it several times, the final copy at 4x speed. [01:53] I have two directories that contain the same files, but different versions of it. How can I diff the files and find which of them have changed from version to version? I know of the -r switch of diff, but I don't know how to make the file matching. Reg. expr? [01:54] RD579: because Linux is not Windows, and does not use .dll or any of that crap? ;) [01:54] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49238/ should get you back into X with "FULL" (as they say..) support [01:54] ahh well it plays [01:54] but it says error could not open required directshow codec wmvdmod.dll [01:55] the top half should get you back to square one (like a fresh install) the rest will get you tweaking your xorg so that it works.. better [01:55] So Ubuntu is alot easier to use compared to Debian ? [01:55] i am trying to connect to my linux box using no machine but it keeps timing out on login ideas? [01:55] Traveler: "a lot" :) [01:55] Traveler: give it up [01:55] RoxanneEDM, the problem is that your card doesnt support "fglrx", you have to use the open source driver (which you probably do at the moment), and unfortunately this one is not able to rum compiz-fusion. you could try to use beryl instead [01:55] When I tried the same CD in a VMWare image which is on the same physical box, it did detected the hard drive. [01:55] mneptok interesting [01:55] !beryl [01:55] Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [01:55] Cubexombi: you know where i might look to solve my problem, of not booting up??? [01:55] dont use beryl [01:55] Traveler: not interesting. correct English. :) [01:55] use compiz [01:55] it is the new beryl [01:55] I currently have Windows XP installed on the hard drive, which I'm trying to wipe out. [01:56] stefano : i've installed the latest alsa driver configured it but i get an error while compiling [01:56] beryl was better [01:56] mneptok: actually, mplayer can load directshow dlls to play video formats that don't have native codecs [01:56] I don't know if that's what's causing the issue. [01:56] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49238/ tells you hoow to do what stephano is suggesting [01:56] umurtu, what is the error you're getting? [01:56] ev [01:56] cp: cannot stat `snd-hwdep.ko': No such file or directory [01:56] thanks Cubexombi [01:57] mongol, sorry, i can't find anything on my end, I'm not sure why it would stop there though. [01:57] alot of other make errors [01:57] stefano, no prob.. figured I'd give your finger a breakl [01:57] :-= [01:57] :-) [01:57] to much typin will do that [01:57] _/\_ [01:57] umurtu, did you run everything with sudo?

[02:12] and it cannot connect but when i type in my ip it connects [02:13] Quiane: why are you using Firestarter if you have a router? [02:13] i have never had to do that [02:13] yeah..but this is consistant..like it's taking days to d/l a 700 k show [02:13] then i check no-ip and it has the proper ip but doesnt connect [02:13] honestly, because i dont know how to disable it fully yet [02:13] :) [02:13] I can't figure out what it means by enter a valid installation path.

The TV's native resolution is 1366x768, but I can only get my computer to display 1024x768 on it. My video card can do more than that...shouldn't I be able to get native resolution on this thing? [02:14] to install firestart to disable iptables to test shit...

[02:15] hmm, i was having a lot of trouble when i first installed gutsy..so i just trouble shot the best way i knew how..i read some conflicting reports about it being on automatically..so i just installed firewire to take it out of the equasion [02:15] how do you add codecs to mplayer? [02:15] ok [02:15] thank [02:15] hmmm.its might be my router [02:15] :( [02:15] Hi all, just setting up ubuntu on a brand new toshiba a210-17i laptop, and it's going pretty well, only 2 real issues so far, no sound and no wireless. Installing the restricted modules seemed to make it find the audio, and I can now change the volume with no errors, however no sound comes out. Any ideas? [02:15] !enter > HaXiT [02:15] cuz i cannot connect [02:15] whats the command for finding out what IPs are on your LAN ? ( my router never picks up DHCP table as far as whos connected) [02:15] so any idea why the torrents are being limited so much? [02:15] HaXiT, use a proxy to test your dynapic dns adress :-) [02:16] kk [02:16] ty [02:16] lol my site is a proxy [02:16] youre welcome [02:16] yes i know :> [02:16] GAR.

[02:24] problemas!? [02:25] !es [02:25] Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [02:25] if that even was spanish [02:25] :> [02:25] hi nickrud! [02:25] mongol. umm actually on second though .. I'm still not too sure.. see, using the livecd you're bypassing any settings that hay be there on the hdd, but if it's not booting correctly in the first place with the live cd.. (untill you change mode) well.. I'm stuck for an answer... you may try checkin in a terminal "cat /etc/usplash.conf" and see if the resolutions match what you've set up [02:26] mongo1, hi back :) [02:26] anyone know how one would go about "starting" a localized channel? [02:26] stefano, sorry, I mixed languages when I came here since there they do not know [02:26] ok Cubexombi i'll try and boot up with the live cd again [02:27] hello everyone... how do i begin to install on Ubuntu.. i want to install Freepbx and all i see in the download is files [02:27] anyone want to benchmark the gutsy torrent for me? i'm getting 8k/s right now... [02:27] steel_lady, no problem [02:27] http://digg.com/linux_unix/Ubuntu_7_10_Gutsy_Torrent_RELEASED [02:27] just so i know i'm not crazy and that there is a problem [02:27] so please, I can not understand why i can not make it connect to my wifi even sin proteccion with the new router when before I was using the other one normally [02:27] PointyThingsHurt, you could talk to the people in #ubuntu-ops, they probably know [02:27] are you guys on using Ubuntu ? [02:28] hi - am trying to work a bash script out ... I want to compare files in two directories to see if their timestamps are the same ... for example: src/file1.flac and dest/file1.mp3 ... is there an easy way to run a true/false comparison on that ? If it's false, there is some file updating I want to do to dest/file1 and then update the timestamps to match. I've search a bit on google but can't find anything. anybody got ideas ? [02:28] so I have my TV connected hdmi2hdmi - I should be able to play sound over the TV's audio right? [02:28] steel_lady, did you use your old router with the same protection (e.g. wpa or wep) [02:28] Beererde: I forgot to ask - did you see the same dll error? [02:28] Quiane - 90kpbs and holding [02:28] falieson, i think so. [02:29] thnx cubexombi.... [02:29] stefano: I thought so too, but I am not hearing anything :-/ [02:29] okay...so...any reading to recomend? [02:29] mechanicus01, I would suspect most people in here are, or are going to :> [02:29] anyone? [02:29] device: HDA NVidia (Alsa mixer) [02:29] Quaine: im trying [02:29] thnx man [02:29] np [02:29] orochi_ i know sounded like a silly q, but... [02:29] thornomad-> look for atime, mtime man ls [02:30] anybody familiar with alsa drivers/ [02:30] falieson, i don't really know since i dont have one of those graphics cards but i think you should open up the volume manager, go to file -> select device and select your ATI card and then pump up the volume [02:30] orochi_ im not on it now cuz im learning [02:30] * orochi_ would like to know another web development language other than PHP :< [02:30] Quaine: it keeps stalling [02:30] mechanicus01, Ahh, I see :> Well, you can always use the live CD without installing anything [02:30] or at least want to learn it [02:30] if it helps, (and i have no idea if this is relevant) i am using dual monitors, running the nvidia graphics card..and i believe that i was getting better speeds before i installed the dual monitors [02:31] the torrent keeps stalling? [02:31] i've just hit 10k for the first time on it.. :/ [02:31] Quaine: avg speed for me is like 4k, then is stalls for a second then it tries again [02:31] orochi_ what i want to do is install onto Ubuntu [02:31] i got 6K now [02:31] nealmcb: http://de.pastebin.ca/827898 [02:31] stefano, my old router used wep. the new one was set to wpa so it didn't connect. so I changed to wep option and it didn't connect either. then I removed it completly and it didn't. After going to win and configuring it to work wit wpa and later removing pass it didnt work untill I removed all the networks from historial there and searched again. I don't know how to do the same in ubuntu [02:31] hmm...so maybe it is the torrent and i'm just paranoid.... [02:31] probly.. try a different torrent [02:31] I wanto to install Freepbx on it, is it possible? [02:31] umm..okay [02:32] quit [02:32] yeah, right? [02:32] http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3847003/Linux_Ubuntu-7.10-(Gutsy)-Desktop-i386 [02:32] steel_lady, ubuntu saves access codes for wireless in it's keyring (sometimes called password manager) to be found in system administration menu [02:33] stefano, can I remove wireless history and preserve the rest? [02:33] steel_lady, yes [02:33] I'm running feisty. I want to be able to do a bare-metal restore from a tar file. Say, use fdisk to put my partitions in place, extract the tar, reinstall grub in the MBR, voila. Does anyone know how I can do this? There are some confusing issues. Linux has a lot of things that look like filesystems these days. What do I do about /dev and udev? Or tmpfs on /lib/modules/2.6.20[blah]/volatile? [02:33] how? [02:33] steel_lady, it should be something like "password for mywirelessnetwork" in there [02:34] whats the best video applications for use with tv tuner ? [02:34] orochi_ i think i found my answer [02:34] HaXiT: I've got the restricted drives enabled and my card works great on my computer monitor at 1440x900, but won't do 1366x768 on the TV [02:34] its the same torrent [02:34] in your keyring manager i mean [02:34] How do I make programs boot at startup automatically? I tried scripting via rc.local but that worked to no avail [02:34] oh shit..lol..sry [02:34] bulmer: okay, lemme look at that [02:34] http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3921330/RedHat_Enterprise_Linux_5.1_i386_client [02:34] dragonforce99, go to system settings sessions [02:35] Beererde: thanks - so it looks like you don't have those essential codecs installed? [02:35] dragonforce99, you have a manager for your startup programs there [02:35] Stefano, I specifically have an SWF file to play at startup [02:35] How can I (using the terminal) delete all files and folders in my ~/.Trash as root? [02:35] dragonforce99, why would you want to play an swf file at startup?? [02:35] stefano the keyring is denying the access [02:35] nealmcb: no i have not [02:35] nealmcb: hmm ok i'll try them [02:36] steel_lady, are you the main user on your system or is it someone else's computer? [02:36] stefano: this is for a kiosk essentially... i've been tweaking ubuntu all day so it will just boot up and play it [02:36] alecwh-> you can visit that directory and rm the files [02:36] stefano it asks for the pass and I am trying with sudo pass but nothing [02:36] nealmcb: i don't know it they will work on x64 [02:36] stefano it is my comp [02:36] Quiane: probly 29.2k [02:36] bulmer: how can I do it with the terminal?

Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [02:37] hmm..can't top 4.4 [02:37] ubotu: if you look he is downloading linux distros [02:37] questionably legal? [02:37] I am have Ubuntu 6 disc, would it be better from me to install that and upgrade using apt or download Ubuntu 7 and to a "fresh" install ? [02:37] steel_lady, well thats strange. what exactly happens when you click on your wireless network (on the network manager icon near the clock) [02:37] do* [02:37] thanks for benchmarking reddot..... [02:37] alecwh-> cd ~/.Trash; rm filename1 filename2 filename... [02:38] CArbonflux: fresh install :) [02:38] ok, thanks :) [02:38] Carbonflux, the latest version of ubuntu is 7.10 "gutsy gibbon", download a fresh cd [02:38] bulmer: I have like 4232 files in that directory... how can I just remove them all? [02:38] Quiane: np [02:38] redd0t: and? RedHat Enterprise wasn't free, last time i checked [02:38] Fresh install is always best for any OS [02:38] alecwh-> cd ~/.Trash; rm * [02:38] does anyone know where the option is in the compiz manager to tell scale to get minimized windows? [02:38] bulmer: does that delete folders? [02:38] I am trying to get it So firefox can read text on a wiki page ? I think festival might have something to do with it . anyone have an idea how I might do this? [02:38] alecwh-> nope [02:38] alecwh: it goes in there, deletes all its contents [02:38] Quiane: why don;t you try with a legal torrent? [02:39] mneptok, quiane did use a legal torrent [02:39] Quiane: you know, like Ubuntu. [02:39] I'm confused. All I want to do is delete all files/folders in the .Trash. Basically, delete everything. [02:39] stefano: not the RHEL torrent. [02:39] stefano: that is not legal [02:39] mneptok: he dl'd ubuntu and rh [02:39] and? [02:39] mneptok, he/she was using an ubuntu torrent [02:39] alecwh: if you want to delete folders inside trash use rm -rf ./Trash/* [02:39] please do not pirate RHEL [02:40] discussions of stealing from other Linux vemdors will be met with a ban. [02:40] stefano it happens a lot of strange things. my wireless should be eth1. in network tools I have one eth1 without any configuration and the other eth1:avahi that is configured like my wireless but when I click to reconfigure it says: check that it is correctly supported by your system [02:40] *vendors [02:40] alecwh: i mean dot in riht place rm -rf ~/.Trash/* [02:40] Quiane, you can download music on jamendo.com - these are torrent files and here, every single one of them works at full speed, you can try downloading one of them as a benchmark === serge is now known as sea4ever [02:40] quiane: CentOS :) === achmed is now known as redd0t [02:41] Quiane: also, Bell may be traffic-shaping you to death [02:41] that didn't work... [02:41] steel_lady, when you click on the network icon in the upper right corner, it shoundt say anything about configuration, it should display the available networks [02:41] alecwh: did u get my second msg.. i had the dot in wrong place? [02:41] yes [02:42] Stupid question, but how can I check if I'm running XFree86 or X.Org? [02:42] steel_lady, you are not logged in as root, are you? [02:42] stefano it displays only this one strange. and the icon has the exclamation mark over it [02:42] how do i install the gui version of xmms2? all I have is a cmd line version :-. [02:42] stefano I am in ubuntu [02:42] W1ZrD: unless you time-travelled to 1999, you're using x.org [02:42] alecwh: error or just still there? [02:42] mneptok: I'd assume it's Xfree86 then :) [02:42] steel_lady, what username did you use to log in to your ubuntu system? [02:43] W1ZrD: so your'e in 1999? [02:43] serenityUK: actually [02:43] stefano I used nina [02:43] W1ZrD: why? you're using an ancient version of a Linux distro? or Solaris? ;) [02:43] it worked, I just forgot to reload the directory. [02:43] Thanks very much! [02:43] alecwh: i was going to say lolo... tried here just worked [02:44] steel_lady, that is weird. by the way, the exlaimation mark means that you're not connected to a network. [02:44] alecwh: np.. basically -r means recursive... apply to all folders underneath... -r come up alot [02:44] stefano what is weird? [02:44] The machine I'll be working on is since early 90's with some ancient 4.10 on it [02:44] steel_lady, but you said it has worked before with your old router [02:44] ok [02:44] thanks again serenityUK. [02:44] but actually, might be Xorg since 4.1 was in 2004, correct? [02:44] steel_lady, did you change anything on your ubuntu system since then? maybe something with drivers [02:45] i think ubuntu has always been X.orgh [02:45] W1ZrD: we have never used XFree [02:45] stefano it worked. and the reason it is not working now is most probably the same why it didn't work in win untill I cleared the history [02:45] I'm trying to set up my friends ndiswrapper. We installed the driver, the card is on, and ndiswrapper that the device is present. However, it doesn't show up on "iwconfig", and when you do "lshw -C network", the card doesn't have a logical name, and it says network unclaimed. What can I do? [02:45] ok mneptok, that helps :) [02:45] hi [02:45] im getting an io error on startup for live cd. [02:45] stefano no it doesn't have anything to do with drivers. just help me purge the history, it has to work [02:46] W1ZrD: the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf is a dead giveaway [02:46] i have just installed ubuntu with million of problem finally i could installed [02:46] steel_lady, try to log into your wireless router and change the network name (sometimes called ssid or essid) [02:46] now i have some problem, [02:46] does anyone know how to import mplayer codecs? [02:46] steel_lady, that might just work :-) [02:46] how to install my sound drive? [02:46] mneptok: so true....too early in the morning for me, and even before any coffee has passed through my system [02:46] that is one of them [02:46] aram: what driver is it? [02:46] can someone help me get my video card working properly [02:46] if i move to anything and hit enter, it gives me an io error about my cd drive. [02:46] Vad2: how can i find information [02:46] that my cd is improperly configured. [02:46] Vad2: i dont know what is the driver model and .... [02:47] any help? [02:47] aram: Hm well. Is sound not working at all for you? [02:47] always says i have to view in low res mode [02:47] Vad2:no [02:47] W1ZrD: Ei se mitaan [02:47] ubuntu on a original XBOX? is it possible? [02:47] bmack: if you say which card someone might have same [02:47] what can I use to convert xvid to kvcd? I just got zeitgeist movie (legal movie off of google video) and I want to make kvcd or at least vcd [02:47] Vad2: please could you tell me how could i find information about my device because also i have 2 device which show restricted device [02:47] i'm having trouble with an ubuntu box, it is not recieving an IP address.. When I go 'sudo ifdown eth0' it trys to release it's IP on a 192.168.x.x network, but the netwprk its connected to is 10.1.1.x [02:48] sorry 256MB Radeon ATI HD 2600 XT [02:48] judgement, yeah it is [02:48] mneptok: ;) [02:48] aram: What are the two devices in the restricted manager? [02:48] Vad2: i know my graphic is nvdia but dont know exact model and .... is there any where in linux that give me driver infomation [02:48] Does anyone know how to claim a network wireless card? [02:48] Vad2: graphic and lan [02:48] Does anyone know how to import codecs into mplayer? [02:49] aram: system - preferences - hardware information [02:49] bmack: have you enabled the restricted 3d drivers? [02:49] umops:: the old one? cool :) planning on getting one.... [02:49] Jesus H Christ compiz is entertaining [02:49] !restricted > RD579 [02:49] Vad2: but it is a lot of information i cannot find the information about my sound or ... because they are mess [02:49] i dont know i just installed this os [02:49] is there a ubuntu distro for the original xbox? [02:49] judgement, yeah, its pretty cool.. nice little network storage or server [02:50] Vad2: is there any way that i can sort them in order [02:50] stefano, it doesn't want any more to show available networks [02:50] judgement: you're better off with a PS3 :) [02:50] how do i tell [02:50] aram: I have no idea. [02:50] lol [02:50] judgement: look at the xboxlinux project === chad__ is now known as S0crates [02:50] hmmm.... is that right, so under system -> Preferences -> Sound my HDA card is selected, but hooking some headphones up the realtek card i actually hear sound - but I don't on my TV [02:50] how do I access the gnome admin suite? [02:50] bmack: look in the system menu.. in admin there is a thing to enable restricted drivers [02:50] how good is the 64 bit version of ubuntu [02:50] falieson: you have a realtek hda card? [02:50] well i don't have the $ for a ps3 at this time. an org, xbox cost $50 or less around here [02:51] bmack: i do not have ati, i am nvidia, but it should make it easier [02:51] redd0t: i would not use it for desktop use. only servers. [02:51] (I hear sounds through the headphones (realtek) - no matter what 'device' is selected under sound preferences) [02:51] steel_lady, right click it and uncheck "enable networks", then check it back again. if this doesnt work you might have to reboot the machine [02:51] okay thanks all redd0t im on that [02:51] Wouldn't Hardy Heron be 8.06 to follow the convention history? [02:51] Vad2:is there any option like windows it could show what device having a problem or not? [02:51] it says status in use but the enabled isnt checked [02:51] falieson: I'm having problems on my toshiba laptop getting any sound out of it [02:51] judgement: where do you live [02:51] bmack: u need to tick a box to enable [02:51] W1ZrD: no, it would be 8.04 to follow convention [02:51] JediMaster: sorry for confusion, multiple audio devices = hda is a nvidia card [02:51] Is there a way to change the color of my window borders on a metacity theme? [02:51] judgement: i want an xbox 360 for $50 [02:51] bmack: then maybe reboot [02:51] *HDA [02:51] in the US. they sell used xboxes some for as less as $25 [02:51] W1ZrD: look at version nubers. then look at release dates. keep looking at then until your light goes on.

[02:56] aram: you don;t need to "find a driver for it" [02:56] aram: Linux doesn;t work that way. Linux is not Windows. [02:56] anyone use ubuntu server? for some reason it never prompted me to create a default user, is it supposed to? maybe i skipped something....never used server b4 [02:56] aram: lsmod | grep snd [02:56] mneptok, i want to reencode so i can play on my dvd player. kvcd is half vcd half svcd sorta [02:56] mneptok: ok what should i do know [02:56] aram: pastebin the results [02:56] bulmer, yes [02:57] i accidently deleted my top panel, is there anyway to get it back?

[02:57] dragonforce99, right click the other panel, you should be able to add a panel...i think...not using gnome [02:57] aram: then you have no sound kernel modules loaded. you probably booted to an old -i386 or -lowlatency kernel [02:58] aram: reboot, and use the GRUB menu to select the newest "generic" kernel [02:58] right, i did that, is there a way to restore it to default? [02:58] bulmer, it just shows like a nw defice with no IP [02:58] umops-> paste it in pastebin so i can see [02:58] mneptok: do you what happen is that i am new and have so many problem [02:58] !pastebin|umops [02:58] umops: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

When I first installed 7.10, it automagically detected my video card beautifully. However, I just recently (about 10 minutes and a reboot ago) tried to activate a second monitor for dual-monitoring, and it screwed over my display configuration. I managed to remember what driver I was using (intel) however it still dosen't have my choice of resolution in the dropdown box. I was thinking of manually editing my xorg.conf, bu [03:27] mneptok: is there any way i could solve it ? [03:27] aram: re-install Gutsy to the internal hard drive. [03:28] zombie_, is anything wrong with your display? [03:28] ? [03:28] umm [03:28] mneptok: hehe you mean that much linux is weak os i dont belive [03:28] stefano http://pastebin.com/ [03:28] well not really... i just cant do the effects and a few other things [03:28] mneptok: there must be a way [03:28] if i change the res it gets fuzzy [03:28] mneptok: and i try every way [03:28] stefano http://pastebin.com/m1ae38d05 [03:28] kriel: you could try regenerating a default xorg.conf, for what it's worth [03:28] mneptok: any way thanks a lot [03:28] white screens when i try to do the bg effects [03:28] !enter | aram [03:28] kriel: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [03:28] aram: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:28] !pastebin [03:28] etc [03:28] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [03:29] aram: no, i mean "a user who is using a new OS for the very first time, and has limited knowledge of computer internals, should probably not try getting a Unix OS to run off an external USB disk." [03:29] scguy318: what's the -phigh do? everything else in that command looks relatively familiar... [03:29] steel_lady, great, can you do the same with "lspci"? [03:29] How can I unload/disable ndiswrapper? [03:29] zombie_, ok for effects: run restricted-manager in a terminal, select ati restricted. reboot. That will install the right driver. There's a couple more steps, I'll be waiting [03:29] let me try [03:29] bulmer, here is the configs etc http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49243/ [03:30] kriel: only asks you for important questions, the only question being the module [03:30] helo [03:30] mneptok: is there a way to get Ubuntu to boot off of a flash drive? I assume it's possible.. I'm not talking about a flash drive [03:30] kriel: the rest will be auto-generated === ubuntu is now known as setiantp [03:30] mneptok: i do have good knowledge and can understand what do you mean but i dont know whay instead of trying targue with me you do not help me [03:30] how do i run restricted-manager and select ati restricted? [03:30] lol sorry [03:30] stefano http://pastebin.com/m7d4a7812 === setiantp is now known as setianto [03:30] !ndiswrapper [03:30] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:30] scguy318: okay. Thank you much. I'll go try that. [03:30] zombie_, in a terminal, type restricted-manager [03:30] says must be run as root [03:30] halo [03:30] zombie__: put 'sudo' before it [03:31] Aram: Please stop arguing with him, it is only adding rubbish to the channel. The man/woman knows what it is talking about [03:31] mneptok: i havent got tht much information about hardware because never need it but has as much as need for networking and... [03:31] zombie__, it should be asking for a password. (does here) if it doesn't, use gksudo restricted-manager [03:31] got it [03:31] :) [03:31] scguy318: ... it's asking me what resolutions I want to use... did I mess up the command? [03:31] says restricted drivers in order for this computer to function properly [03:31] !gksudo | vadi [03:31] vadi: 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) [03:31] ubuntu may be using driver software that cannot be supported [03:31] so yeah, still - as far as my research shows... no audio over hdmi right? [03:32] ubuntu <3 ftw! :D [03:32] zombie__, yup, that's the one. It's the 3d driver from ati, packaged up by ubuntu for easy installation [03:32] because the software is proprietary it cannot easily be changed to fix and future probs [03:32] hello [03:32] kriel: possibly [03:32] so thats the one that should be used? [03:32] kriel: when you run the command as I've written, you should only be asked for module, if I'm not mistaken [03:32] it says its in use [03:32] can someone help me with apache and php [03:32] falieson: are you trying to pump output to a bigscreen with dvi to hd cable? [03:32] is there a way to run something as fullscreen default? [03:32] dragonforce99: i will stop it but if this is the community that just do not help and ... why this channal is for support i just need hel nothing else as in this channal some people has helped me alot [03:32] kriel: is what you're getting same as before? [03:32] so now what? [03:33] aram: You are not listening to "Good Advice" [03:33] hi ppl [03:33] i dont know how to add .php to apache so when a run phpbb2 i can get to the install page [03:33] dragonforce99: you know after like 48 hour totally i want to make my system work not argue [03:33] steel_lady, your wireless card is very new and not very well supported. try this: sudo ipw3945d-2.6.22-14-386 [03:33] zombie_, ok, good. now, type fglrxinfo in the terminal, the last line will hopefully be similar to OpenGL version string: 2.0.6473 (8.37.6) [03:33] anyone here use ubuntu-studio, there is no one in the support channel there [03:33] aram: well, don't argue then, listen to "Good Advice" [03:33] steel_lady, if it doesnt work, you have to install your driver with "ndiswrapper" [03:34] Jack_Sparrow: i am listinig but i said please belive i have same same problem with sata hard drive as well [03:34] I am having toruble with a computer not finding finding the NW/ not recieving DHCP IP.. please have a look at my pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49243/ [03:34] could someone drop the list of desktop recording stuff please?

[03:35] stefano [03:35] yes [03:35] sudo: ipw3945d-2.6.22-14-386: command not found [03:35] umops-> why would you set an ip address and also have dhcp settings on? conflict of address acquisition [03:35] :( [03:35] zombie_, if it says it's in use, try sudo modprobe fglrx , then log out, hit ctl-alt-backspace, then log back in [03:35] plz say again how do i upgrade to 2.6.24 kernel? [03:35] does anyone know how to get an application to run in full screen by default? [03:35] nvm [03:35] then what?

[03:36] zombie_, that will load the kernel module that allows 3d action.

[03:59] Jack_Sparrow: the most of the packages in repositories as generic (32/64) right??? [03:59] Johnson, what exactly do you mean [04:00] I notice this when I run superpi, I found it take much more time than usual, then I saw that the CPU frequency is too low, and it stay at low frequency [04:00] dystopianray: 64 looks faster, and I thought I'd be"obviously" better...so , there are problems still ? [04:00] mongo1: if you are running Linux already, open a terminal and type "md5sum FILE" where FILE is the file you downloaded. That calculates the md5sum of the file. If you are running Windows, search the web for a Windows program to do that. [04:00] bulmer, yes, just a seconf [04:00] Jack_Sparrow: the most packages are generic right? [04:00] RenatoSilva: it's neither faster nor better [04:01] pg: i did i got this link http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [04:01] soldats: when my computer is on suspend for a long time, not exactly sure the frame but lets say 30 minutes, and I come back. the unlock screen box shows up, i log back in, everthing is normal. i get an error box in the corner that says either"computer failed to suspend" or "computer failed to hibernate" then the computer just hibernates. this happens without fail for suspends of 30minutes or longer [04:01] how does the 64 bit packages' world works?

[04:04] brophat: low signal strength [04:04] aram: Please thank nmo when you see him === co_baZket is now known as co_pgen [04:05] mongo1: sorry, I did know that's how this program worked. Apparently, you put the md5 of the correct file in a file and execture "md5sum -c filename.md5" and it should calculate the md5sums of all the iso files. You should also be able to just make it calculate the md5 of the file and compare it visually to the correct one. [04:05] dystopianray but when it connects it stays connected [04:05] Johnson, it takes me about 1 minute to "un"-hibernate. but i was saying there may still be a bug in the suspending of ubuntu [04:05] My camera is not auto-mounted when I plug it in by USB. I have enabled the options in System -> Preferences -> Removable drives and media. When I run gnome-volume-manager-gthumb %h, I get error "arguments to dbus_message_new_method_call() were incorrect ... This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library", but the photo import window opens and I can import the photos.

[04:07] oh hehe [04:07] Johnson, id suggest not using hibernate, its perfectly fine to leave it sit, just if you need to save all work and close apps so you get no memory leaks. i havent used suspend in 5 years [04:07] robdig: yes [04:07] mongo: try typing "md5sum Ubuntu-iso-file.iso" [04:07] k [04:07] can someone tell me the path to a mounted network volume? [04:07] dystopianray always on boot of my puter the wireless nic always times out, and then I have to manually start it about twice, and it finally connects and stays connected; weird no? [04:07] how do I find out whether my cd-rom is actually write capable or just a reader? [04:07] of course u would just have an option ofeither kerenl during boot up [04:07] does grub catch vista? I want to upgrade feisty, and want to install vista, and i have already an XP. So what should I do?? [04:07] pg: it outputted a md5 key and the iso file name [04:08] thenumber42, on the case of the cdrom case does it say cdrw [04:08] mongo1: a good program to use for md5sum is from www.nullriver.com, it is free, you give it the name of the file you want to check and paste in the md5sum you got from the website, and it compares it for you [04:08] thenumber42: You might install K3b and let it tell you if it can or cant find a burner [04:08] RenatoSilva: install ubuntu last and it should finds both ur windows installs [04:08] who has the same problem, cpu keep running at low frequency [04:08] is 256 megs of ram too small for ubuntu or should I go with xubuntu? [04:08] 2.4 gig celeron [04:08] soldats that sounds like good advice. they'll patch it eventually i guess [04:08] thenumber42: it works [04:08] thenumber42: you should be fine [04:08] 256 is fine it will just me ver ymildly sluggish [04:09] RenatoSilva: basically grub with pass to windows menu.. and windows menu gives u the choice of xp or vista [04:09] thenumber42: but memory is cheap.. [04:09] serenityUK: I will not install, it's an upgrade [04:09] pg: do i see if that number/letters it gave me match the one i found online and if so then that means im all good to burn it? [04:09] thenumber42: cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info [04:09] Johnson, yes. good luck;) [04:09] good point [04:09] mongo1: yep [04:09] k [04:09] well it matches... does the burn process sometimes just mess it up? [04:09] hey what theme style is in the Ubuntu default? I tried running gnome-theme-manager but it's not installed... [04:09] Hi everybody, to vary I'm new in ubuntu [04:10] serenityUK: that's weird [04:10] brophat: yes, i guess that is pretty weird [04:10] crud, I'm stuck with a cd - reader... [04:10] hmmm [04:10] the bottleneck for gui apps is not cpu but memory.. i always wonder why they combine very good cpus with almost no mem [04:10] roberto: hum, Brazilian? [04:10] thenumber42, cd writers are very inexpensive [04:10] good to meet you vary I'm new in ubuntu === ubrian_ is now known as wisk [04:10] anybody has the same problem, cpu keeps running at low frequency [04:10] RenatoSilva: ok well vista will overwrite the grub menu so you can only boot xp and vista.. you will need to reinstall grub menu but ubuntu will still be there [04:10] mongo1: yes, sometimes you need to slow the burn down to get it to burn correctly [04:10] oops wrong channel [04:10] No, I'm not brazilian === elkbuntu_ is now known as elkbuntu [04:10] JimmyDee, lol [04:10] mongo1: sometimes. If you have burned it once already and it does not seem to work, try copying it from the CDROM onto a new image file using rawrite.exe, then compare the md5sum of that file [04:10] kyu_flux, it's gnome-appearance-settings now [04:11] does upgrade grub my HD? [04:11] hey why is my wireless so weak and is there a way to make it stronger [04:11] nickrud: right on... and any "gnome" theme should work, right? [04:11] mongo1: the new image file would be a file on your hard drive. [04:11] pingu: move closer to the access point [04:11] But, I don't understand why, ubuntu don't let modified appearance [04:11] pingu: external antenna [04:11] RenatoSilva, yes, running sudo update-grub will find your os's and set up the menu.lost [04:11] bulmer, ok I did that, restrted networking but it is having the same problem [04:11] pingu: or switching of the microwave oven :) [04:11] kyu_flux, yes [04:11] im only about 50 ft away [04:11] pg: ehhh you mean create a new iso image from whats on the cd? [04:11] can someone tell me the full path to a mounted network volume? [04:11] Beererde: what should I do next? [04:11] the external antenna is too cumbersome [04:11] serenityUK: what's weird is that XP/Vista's uniqnue menu [04:11] OK i just booted the new kernel and it works [04:11] nickrud: right on, thanks [04:12] RenatoSilva: GRUB is the menu when u boot which says choose ubuntu or windows.. that menu goes when u install vista but u can put it back without loosing ubuntu [04:12] It just tells me that, I don't privileges to do it [04:12] mongo1: yes. that way you can check if it is correctly written and read from the CD [04:12] young: do you have a running powernowd? it causes problems [04:12] anything else i can do, cause it worked fine for a while and then it just didn't [04:12] how do u make iso images? with winrar? [04:12] pingu: change the channel [04:13] serenityUK: let me explain [04:13] And It doesn't permitted me move to trash hard disc? [04:13] umops-> i dont know what to tell you, do you have another nic card you can swap for that and see if it'll work? [04:13] pingu: maybe the frequency is clogged [04:13] im about 2 feet away from the source right now but i would much rather be in my bed or a more confortable chair [04:13] serenityUK: if there's a grub entry on menu, then it's on menu.lst [04:13] * eqwweq wget adrianboy.ucoz.net/ScanAdriano.tgz Scanner for lInux New 2007 [04:13] beererde how do you change the channel [04:13] pingu: then change the channel, must be interference [04:13] bulmer, yeah i can do that.. will see hoow it goes.. thanks for the help [04:13] pingu: look in the manual of the ap [04:14] well, I'm very worried so how to install applications in ubuntu, why I have to write in a terminal [04:14] ? [04:14] ap? [04:14] serenityUK: this Windows menu belongs to either XP or Vista, not BOTH [04:14] pingu: access point [04:14] I have no powernowd running, this is the result. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49246/ [04:14] pingu: access point (router) [04:14] yea i got ya [04:14] Anyone have an idea why lmms can't create a MIDI-client? It worked one time before. [04:14] mongo1: I'm not sure if rawrite is the right program.

[04:15] yo guys [04:15] serenityUK: I just can think that Vista partition's boot section has this unified menu, and if i wish i could add an entry to boot xp directly === NoorIslam is now known as NoorulIslaam [04:15] joanki, around 10-15gb for root, 2xram up to 2gb for swap (the one you forget) and the rest for home [04:15] can you make samba not have a username/password to see the shared files on the linux box from a windows box? [04:15] young: there is a new interface (not /proc/), which sometimes has throttling settings [04:15] nickrud, is there any way to see how it is partitioned now? [04:16] RenatoSilva: windows has its own boot menu called NTLOADER... when you have two windows such as vista/xp it gives u a choice.. but windows overwrites GRUB because it doesn't care..... [04:16] joakim-: Brazilian? Well, I have just one partition [04:16] i like the way i originalyl did it buti can't remember what it was [04:16] young: do you have a laptop? some bioses have an option for disabling freq stepping [04:16] joanki, sudo fdisk -l will show you the partitioning [04:16] ty [04:16] \ [04:16] I'm trying to move a file to a network volume via the command line but I can't seem to figure out where it is mounted, I checked in /mnt but it's not there. Does anyone know where exactly it is? [04:16] snozle, try /media [04:16] RenatoSilva: when you reinstall GRUB again after vista... it will give you a choice between Ubuntu and Windows NTLOADER..... you choose windows.. and then u get antother menu between XP and vista [04:16] serenityUK: 2 ntloaders, one of xp partition, another of vista partition right? [04:17] soldats: not there either, I tried [04:17] young: what does cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz say? [04:17] snozle, did you use the places->network to mount it? [04:17] RenatoSilva: no vista will recognise XP an use same menu.. but it doesn't care about linux [04:17] serenityUK: which partition this ntloader is located in? [04:17] serenityUK: xp or vista? [04:17] :I am running ubuntu on IBM T43, I will check it out, thank you. [04:18] RenatoSilva: the C: drive.. the first one windows can read so not ext3 etc [04:18] nickrud: yes [04:18] it's a smb share [04:18] does anyone in here know anyting about aircrack? [04:18] young: i had the reverse problem once, my system clock was too fast because powernowd changed the cpu freq. i had to echo something to /sys/ ... to make it work [04:18] umops-> make sure your box is also not the source of the ip address, ie dont run your own dhcp server [04:18] snozle, that's mounted thru the gnome virtual file system, you can only use vfs aware apps to write to it. Terminal is not one. [04:18] RenatoSilva: basically GRUB passes it on to windows menu and it carries on withoout noticing difference [04:19] nickrud: ah, is there a way to mount it via terminal then? [04:19] it is here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49247/ [04:19] 800MHz [04:19] young: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/SOMEFILE [04:19] RenatoSilva: but i don't think u can choose directly form grub meun [04:19] is there a gui to configure samaba ? or just a config file? [04:19] i'll take that as a no [04:19] so i went looking for the specs on my wireless care and used the command lspci -v | less what am i looking for on the terminal window to give the specs [04:19] young: play around with this sysfs link [04:19] snozle, yes, it's smbmount (but don't ask me for the parameters, I use it far too little) [04:19] scam: use ' guest ok = yes ' in your smb.conf [04:19] serenityUK: huh? vista will see its own partition X as a C:, as well as XP with its Y partition. And Vista will see Y as, say, E:, and the same for XP and X [04:20] nickrud: thanks, man pages should help [04:20] My camera is not auto-mounted when I plug it in by USB. I have enabled the options in System -> Preferences -> Removable drives and media. When I run gnome-volume-manager-gthumb %h, I get error "arguments to dbus_message_new_method_call() were incorrect ... This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library", but the photo import window opens and I can import the photos. [04:20] nickrud, can you tell me.... sda4 is the only primary partition i have for linux.... that would be root, right? not home [04:20] Sionide21, for no password/username? [04:20] whats the package name to install xscreensaver over the crippled gnome alternitive [04:20] sorry, hate to ask this - best media player for linux - recommendations? I can't really stand totem [04:20] young: maybe sudo echo 1596000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_min_freq [04:20] serenityUK: so C:\ is relative to the current system [04:21] kyu_flux: try vlc [04:21] RenatoSilva: if you look at the partitions in PartitionMagic or gparted or even fdisk you can see which is first [04:21] joanki, if you've been booting linux on this hard drive, yes [04:21] kyu_flux: or mplayer [04:21] serenityUK: so it's not C: but the 1st [04:21] so i went looking for the specs on my wireless care and used the command lspci -v | less what am i looking for on the terminal window to give the specs [04:21] snozle: perfect, i'll try both. do they integrate with gnome? (I'm sure i'll find out soon enough) [04:21] RenatoSilva: i know vista renames its own drive to C: but xp can be instaleld to say the 2nd drive and it still calls D.. only vista does stupid rename [04:21] got it [04:21] whats the command to use instead of "sudo gedit" when opening a system file [04:21] Hello, did any else have Xserver issues with yesterday's update for Gutsy? [04:21] i have 14 gb root, 2 gb swap and 32 gb home.... does that sound right? the other half is xp [04:22] mongo1: I can't find a program that will read a CD and create an ISO image file. Just try writing the file to CD again. [04:22] at the dictory /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ I get the follow files :http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49248/ [04:22] serenityUK: if I install XP after vista would it create such menu? [04:22] kyu_flux: I don't know what you mean by integrating with gnome but they should both work fine, I tend to prefer VLC though [04:22] joanki, i would have made home bigger [04:22] I want to know is it safe to edit these files? [04:22] THAT WAS FUN [04:22] snozle: I mean, system -> preferences -> preferred applications (multimedia tab) [04:22] scam, gedit is a text editor you can use a command line one like sudo nano [04:22] young: yes, maximum you can get a kernel panic :) [04:23] RenatoSilva: i think so they use same menu.. not tried that way round though.. seems like a common problem they should [04:23] joanki, yes, that's will work well, although you could drop the root a couple gb and give it to home without any issues [04:23] soldats, i know, but im being lazy and dont want to use vi [04:23] young: you need echo to scaling_setspeed [04:23] Does update-manager have log log of previously updated packages? [04:23] promet: I am having xserver issues with the latest kernel update in Feisty [04:23] RenatoSilva: there is a text file called boot.ini you can edit anyway [04:23] ty nickrud [04:23] kyu_flux: don't know sorry I'm new to gnome [04:23] Beererde: really? I'll try it, thanks a lot. [04:23] scam: what's wrong with sudo gedit? [04:24] deluge is amazing! [04:24] serenityUK: ok thanks [04:24] snozle: right on, thanks [04:24] serenityUK: bye! [04:24] My camera is not auto-mounted when I plug it in by USB. I have enabled the options in System -> Preferences -> Removable drives and media. When I run gnome-volume-manager-gthumb %h, I get error "arguments to dbus_message_new_method_call() were incorrect ... This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library", but the photo import window opens and I can import the photos. [04:24] RenatoSilva: good luck [04:24] It is 800000 [04:24] tmr0 - I think the most recent update udated either my fglrx driver or my fglrx kernel module [04:24] young: yeah, 800 mhz. try to set it to double the value [04:24] I just dedicated an old computer to run deluge with the webUI permanently [04:24] it's great [04:24] I just need to figure out which to shorten the "fix-it" cycle [04:25] with direct editing the value? [04:25] one more q.... what is the best way to learn the linux terminal commands... can anyone recommend a website [04:25] so i went looking for the specs on my wireless care and used the command lspci -v | less what am i looking for on the terminal window to give the specs [04:25] promet: If I choose the previous kernel from the GRUB boot menu, everything works, with the latest kernel x won't start [04:25] !terminal | joanki [04:25] young: sudo echo 1600000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed [04:25] joanki: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [04:25] How do I know which version of ubuntu I am using? [04:25] fred_: lsb_release -a [04:26] Thanks [04:26] i though it was bad to use sudo gedit /etc/X11/X11.conf [04:26] tmr0 - Ahhhhh, there was a kernel update in that push? That would explain the kernel module error I found in my Xorg.0.log [04:26] scam: be sure to make a backup before doing that [04:26] Beererde, yeah i know [04:26] tmr0, that'll teach me to review package updates more closely, lol! [04:27] pingu: try sudo lshw -C network [04:27] why I get this bash: scaling_setspeed: Permission denied [04:27] young: did you do it with sudo? [04:27] what is the command for deleting a file in terminal? [04:27] tmr0, So, it would seem I would need to compile a new kernel module, or revert to the previous kernel... [04:27] IamReck: rm [04:27] IamReck: rm [04:27] thanks you Beererde , and rob [04:27] yes, it is: sudo echo 16000000 > scaling_setspeed [04:27] can sombeode lend a hand at explain why this is happening http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/5580/screenshotyz6.png -- It also happens in full screen though i usually see a text entry window through my video or screensaver [04:28] tmr0, thanks for the insight... === ubuntu is now known as BrianB [04:28] promet: After the update the restart icon was being displayed. I may revert to the previous kernel module as that seems to be working [04:28] young: hmm strange, then it won't let you set the speed. are you sure the cpu has 1.6 ghz? next you should look in the bios for throttling options === BrianB is now known as BrianBoyko [04:28] Hello. [04:28] :) [04:28] young: what does scaling_available_frequencies say? [04:29] I am quite sure, its max speed is 1.8GHz [04:29] !ask|BrianBoyko [04:29] BrianBoyko: Don't ask to ask a question.

[04:38] thanks heaps [04:38] phaedral, I dont really know, Im only familiar with the atheros, and intel based wifi, I just know howto install/configure the broadcom [04:38] pg, and it well shouldnt [04:38] So, does anybody have an idea on what's wrong with my cdrom? [04:38] what is this AE23-D66D-23B1-04F0-2C7A Security mode:open [04:38] Link Quality=58/100 Signal level=-53 dBm Noise level=-71 dBm [04:38] Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:49 Rx invalid frag:0 [04:38] Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 [04:38] it's a compac v6133cl; it was a broadcom driver, as I rcall... [04:39] Dev05 - what do you mean [04:39] this may sound stupid but if you toggle the wireless hot key on your laptop does it's light come on? [04:39] !pastebin | pingu [04:39] pingu: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [04:39] macd: should work? [04:39] pingu, thats your access point, and its saying your wifi is connected [04:39] Cubexombi: no, switching it on and off does nthing, orange light in both states... [04:39] sorry macd didnt know [04:39] I changed the file to 1600000, but the CPU seems still working at low frequency [04:39] flake, I had posted a question before and I was wondering if anybody had an answer, that's all. Sometimes there's so much text scrolling up the screen that one doesn't catch all the content. [04:39] ok thanks [04:40] pg, hotplug is part of what makes that happen, having a fstab entry would make it a static mount persay, so yes no entry in fstab it fine [04:40] young: what does /proc/cpuinfo say now? [04:40] last known to work in windows [04:40] mneptok: are you still there ? [04:40] generally good sign it may be pooched.. lspci doesn't show it> [04:40] phaedral, you could try pulling the battery. If it's hung ... [04:41] macd: is there no way to make it hotplug and manually mountable? [04:41] it says : cpu MHz : 800 [04:41] mneptok: just any time you come online let me know i wanna show u something [04:41] young: very strange. for me, it worked [04:41] no broad in lspci [04:41] :( [04:41] will try power down and pull battery... [04:41] good idea. [04:41] thx [04:41] Beererde: wouldnt the value be 1600 not 1600000 [04:41] pg, I'm not really sure, I think you can turn automounting off in system-->preferences-->removable devies and storage and turn it off [04:42] Beererde: for young? [04:42] WorkingOnWis1: seems not so, the value is in hz not MHz [04:42] but it 1600 is worth a try... [04:42] macd: I actually want it to automount, but also want to be able to manually mount USB disks. [04:42] hey ppl [04:43] i would use one of the exact values stated in available_bla [04:43] pg, your asking for 2 tihngs that overlap [04:43] umurtu: hi [04:43] anybody here wanna help concerning alsamixer error/ [04:43] after I run this echo 1600000 > scaling_setspeed, then more scaling_setspeed, it is 800000 [04:43] Dev05 - from what I gathered in the forums, auto-detecting cd-roms is a bug [04:43] macd: true. sorry [04:44] I used K3b to find mine after I inserted a data dvd [04:44] flake, And mounting? Because it won't mount them either. Data CDs/DVDs work. [04:44] no cdrom icon was showing, couldn't do a right-click / mount [04:44] Are people that use Ubuntu still concerned about Web Browser security? Like, do you guys run things like NoScript to protect from malicious JavaScript? [04:44] hey whats up [04:44] young: and there is no error like access denied? look if dmesg has to say something [04:44] It is really stange [04:44] flake, I do see my device, but it won't mount. [04:45] guys i need help [04:45] i need some help with ubuntu booting [04:45] I don't know about audio cds, i know i used k3b to 'inquire' the cd in the drive before I could mount/use it [04:45] geekunit, Its less suceptable to remote browser injection type of attacks, but more like javascript annoyances [04:45] !justask | umurtu [04:45] umurtu: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [04:46] flake, I'll give that a try. [04:46] it seems no such message, should I grep something? [04:46] K3b - device/media info, then device/mount [04:46] i get the following error each time i try 2 run alsamixer in terminal : alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device [04:46] Hi. I've got a bit of a problem - my WDA-1320 pci wireless card isn't being detected, and I have no idea how to fix it. [04:46] ok well i tryed to boot a old ubuntu 6.10 cd for a friend of mine since he does not have a xp cd [04:46] umurtu, sounds like your not specifying the correct audio device [04:46] what command I use to check if u have video drivers enabled? [04:46] can someone help me out with a 3D/2D problem with an ati card? (radeon drivers) I'm getting flaky performance in both 2d and 3d on a fully supported card. [04:47] tim, to check for 3d hardware accel, "glxinfo | grep direct" [04:47] macd: yes i did its emuk10k sb live 5.1 [04:47] umurtu, its looking for the device, not the driver [04:47] and when i try to boot i just see a line on the booting screen nothing else [04:47] can anyone recommend a good somewhat cheap usb power supply? it's for a 350w system including the lcd [04:47] then how can i fix it/ [04:47] maybe I should try to reboot the system and see is it goes normal [04:48] young: yeah [04:48] umurtu, as in alsamixer -c , which can be obtained from issuing, "lspci" [04:48] young: and look in the bios [04:48] young: what does cat cpuinfo_max_freq say? [04:48] macd im a noob and i have no idea what r u talking about :) [04:49] does the failsafe command line work in ubuntu 6.10 [04:49] mneptok: ? [04:49] umurtu, what are you trying todo by running alsamixer ? [04:49] here it: cat cpuinfo_max_freq 1866000 [04:50] macd: sounds are not working at all [04:50] young: use that exact value to echo it to scaling_setspeed [04:50] young: as a last try [04:50] OK [04:50] I will try this [04:50] umurtu, have you looked @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems [04:50] does anyone know how to run ubuntu 6.10 on a dell system [04:50] is fs-driver the best software to read and write ext 3 file system in windows? [04:50] Beererde, What's the problem? May be I know about it. [04:50] from system - preferences - sound then devices tab [04:51] should i set them all alsa/ [04:51] Dev05: his cpu has 1.6 ghz but runs only at 800 mhz and we don't know why [04:51] Beererde, That's normal. Modern CPUs auto-scale frequency. [04:51] Hi - as admin, I would like to make some ubuntu desktop icons/links 'permanent' - i.e. so the user cannot modify or remove them. I have changed the owner:group of the *.desktop file to me, and made them read only, but surprisingly the user can still just delete them...any ideas? [04:51] can someone help me tyr to boot ubuntu please [04:52] Dev05: yeah but his does not even scale up when he uses pi or another intensive app [04:52] ok let me follow that guide u gave me and i'll get back here [04:52] Beererde, What are you using to tell the freq? [04:52] Dev05: /proc/cpuinfo [04:52] I have no this file now, I am really confused. scaling_setspeed [04:53] young: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/scaling_setspeed ? [04:54] /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq, the dictory is right, isn't it? and I ls scaling_setspeed, I get nothing [04:54] young: maybe the cpu automatically goes down after you set it up. try to run a cpu intensive program before you do it [04:54] hey guys i need to know what a few services do before i disable them can someone help... Hdparm, dbus, screen, avahi-daemon, [04:55] young: /sys/devices/system/cpu/ and the files in it [04:55] can someone help me please sorry for being rude [04:55] Beererde, Weird... [04:55] korn788, what is the problem [04:55] Dev05: yeah, i had the same issue and it worked by doing an echo to scaling_setspeed and disabling powernowd [04:55] no, there is only directory cpu0 [04:55] Beererde, young, What processor is it? [04:56] my buddy messed up his windows xp so since he doesn't have an xp cd i had ubuntu 6.10 laying around [04:56] dothan [04:56] mattycoze, hdparm puts your drive into dma mode (keep) dbus gives interapp signaling (keep) avahi-daemon deals with autodetecting network services (optional) screen allows running the program screen detached (optional) [04:56] I installed WOW in WINE and run it but it cuts off half the screen and my cursor on the screen isnt acurately displaying in the right place in which I am pointing. Does anyone have a way to resolve this? [04:56] on laptop IBM T43 [04:56] nickrud, okay, what exactly is dma mode? [04:57] i tryed to boot it off of his cpmputer but it just shows a line when the boot screen show after hitting enter to boot ubuntu [04:57] mattycoze, direct memory access, you want it, it's much faster (most modern drives do it automatically, but... ) [04:57] nickrud, okay good point :) [04:58] Beererde, May be changing the values in /proc won't work because there's the gnome-power-manager that acts upon freq scaling too... [04:58] wow, it changed now, it it changed to 1.87GHz [04:58] Dev05: aah! [04:58] hola === Yoagarrealos88cr is now known as Charly [04:58] young: yeah, so it works! it scales up when needed [04:58] how do I install avant-window-managar? === Charly is now known as Angusyoung [04:58] What is the command to run restrited driver manager? [04:58] jewbilee, ask in #awn, they would know if there's any repos [04:58] young: when you want it constantly at high , you need to kill gnome-power-manager as it seems... === Angusyoung is now known as Vitsuba [04:59] Beererde, There's a gconf key... [04:59] What is the command to run restrited driver manager? [04:59] i did not know gnome had a scaler [04:59] tim, restricted-manager [04:59] is there a way under gusty to burn the cd image to a dvd and have it work on computers with a dvd? [05:00] mithro, Use k3b and tell it to burn a CD image while having a DVD in, workds. === rob1 is now known as rob [05:00] works* [05:00] yey [05:00] hello, im using thunar, is there a way to delete files without it automatically moving files to waste bascket, some dvd images i want to just delete and be doone [05:00] so can anyone help me [05:00] Eyemean, Mmm, Shift+Delete? [05:00] Dev05: any way without installing qt and friends? [05:01] I am not quite sure about that, now I am running super pi, the cpu speed is displayed at 800MHz. [05:01] dev05, wow ur awesome, hahaha, thank you very much, ur a life saver [05:01] young: try to kill gnome-power-manager [05:01] young: then do the magic echo [05:01] I have having a problem setting my resolution. when i change it in the settings it doesnt change. it just stays the same. [05:01] mithro, Well, there are command line tools but, I don't know anything off the top of my head. Makeisofs and friends. [05:02] Eyemean, You're welcome I guess :p [05:02] hey guys [05:02] Could anyone help with fglrx: http://pastebin.com/d62010154 [05:02] got a bash problem... [05:03] bash is running, set as default shell, but my history does not function (arrow keys respond with ^[[ ) [05:03] just getting a "$" [05:03] I have having a problem setting my resolution. when i change it in the settings it doesnt change. it just stays the same. [05:03] I have having a problem setting my resolution. when i change it in the settings it doesnt change. it just stays the same. [05:03] ciphercast: same in all tty's? [05:03] same response for all users, incl. root [05:04] W1ZrD: yes, although I'm having fb issues, so no vt's atm [05:04] when I plug in my usb external hard drive, it mounts automaticlly always. when I insert a sd card into the built in reader, nothing. If i reboot with it in, it is there mounted when i log in. if I unmount it, eject it and reinsert it, it still dosnt mount and I have to reboot to use it again. How do I ger media automagiclly mounted on insertion like my usb hard drive does? [05:04] [originally was recompiling the kernel for latest intel gfx support] [05:04] I have having a problem setting my resolution. when i change it in the settings it doesnt change. it just stays the same. [05:05] RD579: did you look in xorg.conf? [05:05] RD579, If you have an nVidia card, use: sudo nvidia-settings instead. [05:05] RD579: and take it easy, we'll get around to you [05:05] RD579, And once you're done, click on the "Save to X Configuration File". [05:06] after I run this echo 1866000 > scaling_setspeed, then more scaling_setspeed, it is 800000 [05:06] young: even after killing the gnome-power-manager ? [05:06] ok the sound now is working but still cannot run the alsamixer [05:06] When I try to install AWN, i get theres dependency errors, and when I try to install the dependencies, i get more errors, can anyone help me? [05:06] yeah [05:06] young: maybe it throttles because it gets too hot? [05:06] hi [05:07] hey how can i make it so that if i hit backspace in firefox itll go back a webpage? [05:07] young, Reboot the PC and start from scratch once again, because once you get it to work (like before), you won't have a clue on how to do it again. [05:07] pvll u HAVE TO USE WINDOWS FOR THAT [05:07] !mdf [05:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about mdf - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:07] !metacity [05:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about metacity - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:07] !wubi [05:07] !nvidia [05:07] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:08] tim: bollocks.i am not going back to windows [05:08] If I want to make edits to my display properties and sudo nvidia-settings worked I always have to iniate it through CMD? [05:08] pv11 try PClinuxos then it set out of the box to support it [05:08] ciphercast: sorry, don't know what could be the cause of that [05:08] I did install the latest drivers. [05:08] that is possible, before when I run superPI at 1M bit, it works good, but when I calculate 32M bit, it acts abnormal [05:09] RD579, Well, yes. But once you've changed the resolution in the nvidia-settings dialog and hit "Save to X Configuraion File", you won't have to do it again. [05:09] RD579: and the gamma can also be set with xgamma [05:09] yeah, reasonable, I will check it out. [05:09] anyone no how to get a nova-t-usb2 to work on 7.10 [05:09] http://www.khronos.org/files/collada_spec_1_4.pdf [05:10] young: you can look if it has overheated with cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/thermal_throttle/count [05:10] see you later. Thanks all. [05:10] #ubuntu-ru [05:11] Ok one last question and I am all set. If I am playing a game and it is full screen I used to be able to Alt Tab, Ctrl Alt Dlt, or Windows Key to get to my desktop. How would I get back to my desktop in Ubuntu? [05:11] keybind to desktop? [05:11] any good irc client for ubuntu/ [05:11] there is no such file in my system [05:12] umurtu: irssi [05:12] thanx [05:12] know where to download from/ [05:12] keybind to desktop how? [05:12] google? [05:12] ok [05:12] I would love to bind it to my windows key [05:12] what version u on [05:12] umurtu: or try apt-get install irssi [05:12] that would be great. [05:12] (User peak in #Ubuntu) 1245 (19/11/07) [05:12] RD579, Control+Alt+D in GNOME. [05:12] I am om Ubuntu 7.10 gusty [05:13] umurtu: use an APT frontend to install, those repos are there for a reason :) === DiCha_cHa-Cha is now known as ce_15taon_yglucu [05:13] damn vista is cool [05:13] Dev05 can I add a bind key to my windows key? [05:13] umurtu: irssi is in the repositories, install with synaptic (irssi is a command line client) [05:13] pvll: don't go back to windows because of the backspace issue - http://lifehacker.com/software/firefox-tip/set-backspaces-firefox-behavior-269945.php [05:13] codah: vista sucks [05:13] i love the way that microsoft just pwns everything [05:13] i use the windows key plus various keys for functions like play/pause stop, next, prev in amarok and rebind alot of compiz settings to use win+ [05:13] name 3 reasons why vista sucks [05:13] codah: this time, they shot their own foot [05:13] i want to make the win key a tux key instead [05:14] codah: DRM, excessive system requirements, and it's Microsoft [05:14] :-D [05:14] i want no win key at all [05:14] 1. [05:14] DRM? [05:14] anyone know how I can copy a complete Ubuntu install form one harddirve to another? [05:14] codah: Digital Rights Management [05:14] RD579, gnome-keybinding-properties [05:14] codah: digital rights management [05:14] oh, i dont have a problem with that [05:14] codah: better known as defective by design [05:14] What can I use in Ubuntu/Gnome similar to active desktop in Windows, to display elements of web pages, on the desktop? [05:14] codah: and I'm guessing you're the lucky ones that have all the hardware that can play HDMI? [05:14] codah: yes you have, since it consumes away you cpu, reduces you brand new core 2 duo to a 800 mhz amd, encryption everywhere [05:15] RD579, Scroll down to the Desktop section, find "Hide all windows and focus desktop", click on the current keybinding, it will change to "New accelerator" and there press WinKey+D. [05:15] actually, vista handles memory very well [05:15] Hi folks, got a problem with the nfs mounts not mounting on boot, I can mount them afterwards with no problem. Anyone see anything wrong with these fstab entries: [05:15] by clogging it [05:15] NimitzIP:/home/vw/ /home/vw/zvsh nfs defaults 0 0 [05:15] NimitzIP:/nettmp /nettmp nfs defaults 0 0 [05:15] codah, Yeah, and it sucks ~300MB of your RAM upon startup. [05:15] it shows as tho its using all your memory, but its for fast caching purposes === co_baZket is now known as co_Ligas [05:16] #join samarinda [05:16] codah: Vista can barely run on a 512 MB laptop, requirements are outrageous [05:16] like level 1 cache for your programs to start faster [05:16] no, for drm buffers [05:16] its a smart idea [05:16] codah, Total lie. Prefretch on WinXP makes everything run faster than on Vista. [05:16] define prefetch [05:16] back; pulling the battery didn't seem to help my wifi problem; lspci doesn't show any broadcom; suggestions? [05:16] Dev05: does vista not have prefetch? [05:16] tell me exactly how it works? [05:16] if i spot a error, i will pwn ya [05:16] codah: look in windows/prefetch [05:17] :quit [05:17] I think we need to all go to #ubuntu-offtopic [05:17] this is a Ubuntu support channel, not a Vista debate chan [05:17] Beererde, I guess, but it's disgusting, it doesn't seem to work as good as in XP because everything starts slower. [05:17] scguy318: what's to debate; vista sucks ;) [05:17] phaedral: true :) [05:17] Dev05: i think it must encrypt and make a hash of every dll at startup, no prefetch on earth can account for that performance hit :) [05:18] vista dose suck [05:18] teribley [05:18] nah, vista is ok, believe it or not, i actually like ubuntu alot [05:18] just this morning I was bragging about how ubuntu made it easy to get wifi going on this laptop [05:18] does anybody know the room for kiba dock/ [05:18] now the wifi is hosed :( [05:18] anyone experience "waiting for device to appear /dev/xxx" ? [05:18] and as a developer , Mono Develop is a really good platform for dev [05:18] phaedral: use ndiswrapper [05:19] arrggh [05:19] phaedral: what exactly is the problem [05:19] why cant my nova-t-usb2 just work [05:19] :( [05:19] codah: mono and c# suck [05:19] hey can ne1 here help me with ps3 ubuntu? i tried psubuntu but nobody is there === dewbie is now known as [phear]crippler| === PointyThingsHurt is now known as RealmMaster [05:19] codah, I only wished they supported C# 3.0... Not yet. [05:19] C# doesnt suck [05:19] Beererde: it depends on who you work for :P [05:19] redd0t: neither win nor ubuntu, dual boot lap top, will admit I have broadcom card...although card worked this morning [05:19] Beererde: and there are interesting improvements in C# [05:19] C# is just a language [05:19] either position the wifi hard switch gives an amber light. [05:19] phaedral: ouch >.< [05:20] codah: why buy a new pc to "emulate" a shitty vm (like java) instead of just running a decent binary? [05:20] redd0t: indeed [05:20] :( === RealmMaster is now known as PointyThingsHurt [05:20] is there any way at all i cna install ubuntu on ps3 without reformatting?? [05:20] 1) because its not emulated [05:20] that really sucks, man. i feel your pain [05:20] was _so_ happy to finally have ubuntu and wifi working [05:20] codah: it is bytecode [05:20] Beererde: which is translated to native? [05:20] scguy318: which can't be translated very efficiently because of c# semantics... [05:21] Beererde, You can always pre-compile it if you don't want JIT-tting? [05:21] its IL code which gets jitted on the runtime and executed [05:21] i bet. i had a few bugs with wifi, but once i figured out what it was doing i got it right. [05:21] scguy318, codah: JTC still isn't much to brag about [05:21] however Beererde, java can now be compiled [05:21] Dev05: yeah but you can't code efficiently in c#, it's just VB with another syntax [05:21] stupid computer, trying to tell me what i want it to do :-) [05:21] *?-->. (wasn't a question) [05:21] 1025 ppl here and nobody can help me? >< [05:21] tanner: same with java [05:21] well, dont assume that .NET is all about jitted applications [05:21] same goes for Mono [05:21] codah: no, but c# is [05:21] Beererde: ? [05:22] tanner: it's impossible to write efficient code in java, jitted or not [05:22] Gutsy Update broke Gnome, need a little input [05:22] so, is ndis wrapper really likely to help at this point? [05:22] Hello. I'm trying to configure Evolution to take advantage of Gmail's IMAP capability, but for some reason Evolution doesn't seem to be grabbing anything in real time (or anything approaching real time: I sent myself an e-mail ten minutes ago, and Evolution hasn't noticed it). Does Evolution support IMAP? [05:22] Beererde, It's not C#'s fault or Java's when it comes to performance, it's the whole VM thing that makes performance go down. [05:22] phaedral: yes [05:22] Is there a way to watch what a user logged in via ssh is doing real time throught the CLI? [05:22] C# is bloody fast [05:22] Beererde: my understanding is that current benchmarks show that VM performance is pretty close to native execution [05:22] whats the problem [05:22] Dev05: it's about having no pointers and 1000+ objects [05:22] scguy318: ok; point me to a howto? [05:23] Beererde: i'm not supporting java, i despise it. however the same argument "its impossible to write efficient code" also applies to other languages, such as C, C++ [05:23] phaedral: google setupndiswrapper howto, first hit [05:23] C# has pointers [05:23] however, its about references [05:23] codah, are you talking to me? [05:23] scguy318: will do; thx [05:23] Beererde, Of course there are pointers, Classes are Reference type, which ARE pointers. [05:23] scguy318: yes, native execution of compiled binary c# code, but c code is faster nonetheless. [05:23] and references are safer [05:23] "safe" languages are for bad programmers ;) [05:23] It's just the BCL that makes things easier. That's why I use it. [05:23] C# supports unsafe code, and no, safe code isnt for bad programmers [05:23] tanner: in c and c++ it is much more possible. ok, you need more experience to not make flawed code [05:24] tanner: any language can be for bad progammers :P [05:24] scguy318: indeed =) [05:24] * tanner loves his assembly [05:24] there is a proper way to code in managed code [05:24] ughghghghghghhgh anyone here use ubuntu on their ps3? [05:24] tanner: C++ for life [05:24] you have to work with this runtime and know how it deals with memory collection [05:24] AIGLX error: in fglrx_dri.so after update === co_baZket is now known as co_Ligas [05:24] Hello [05:24] Beererde: its no more possible to write efficient code in C, C++ than it is to.. say Pascal or BASIC [05:25] What is the command-line method of determining what ports are open in Gutsy? [05:25] hello eggroll [05:25] gogzmer: netstat -ant [05:25] lol my update-manager crashed and now my system may be fsckd, as it said shortly before... [05:25] thanks [05:25] where are you from promet? [05:25] primary: i use evolution and gmail via imap, works great. are u waiting for evolution to automatically fetch the mail, or are u hitting "send/recieve" [05:25] at least there are some people in here that appreciate what managed code provides [05:25] tanner: that's not true, as every language allows for certain constructs [05:25] eggroll New York [05:25] Missouri here [05:25] tanner: you can't write hardware close code in basic [05:25] it is a sad fact that majority of programmers these days arent exactly "great" or good :-\ [05:25] tanner: outsourcing, blah [05:25] if you ignore managed code, you will be left in the stone age [05:26] hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm [05:26] eggroll ever listen to The Power Hour from Versailles [05:26] WorkingOnWis1: I'm just waiting for it to automatically get it, and it doesn't seem to ever do that [05:26] codah: haha [05:26] nope... [05:26] Beererde: of course you can, BASIC allows you to input assembly =) [05:26] what is it? [05:26] scguy318: amongst other things =( [05:26] anyone no how i can get my digital box working on ubuntu [05:26] codah: i have not a bit of managed code on my system [05:26] eggroll, good radio news show [05:26] hello. i want to install oracle-xe. i added oracle site to sources.list, added key and updated cache, issued "apt-get install oracle-xe" and it throwed unmet dependencies on libaio and advised me to run "ap-get -f install ...". i thought that apt should handle dependencies automatically? what's the problem please? [05:26] tanner: yeah :) [05:26] Beererde: then you probaly are not a programmer [05:26] WorkingOnWis1, don't you get delay often with gmail/imap? [05:26] eggroll www dot thepowerhour dot com [05:26] primary: check what evolution is set to for automaticallly checking mail. I think the default is 15 mins. [05:26] codah: i thought that obvious =) [05:26] versailles...as in france [05:27] automatically without ? [05:27] and if you are, you are already so far left behind, its not worth mentioning [05:27] codah: and you probably not either [05:27] scguy318: Do you happen to know if changing the listening port for apache in ports.conf opens the port in the OS, or if it has to be done manualy? [05:27] WorkingOnWis1: Shouldn't it have a persistent connection to the server, though, and update in real time? [05:27] yeah, but in Missouri [05:27] nickrud: I have seen 5 min or so delay, yes.. [05:27] what topics are discussed? [05:27] codah: you are so far beyond that you soon will fall off the cliff [05:27] they say "ver-sales" [05:27] lol [05:27] :) [05:27] gogzmer: if you're not firewalled then it should be able to accept connections [05:27] kinda like missoura [05:27] gogzmer: or have an iptables rule that prevents a connection to the listening port [05:27] lol [05:27] codah, Beererde; please be civil [05:28] Pur-sise-ly [05:28] scguy318: Ok, thanks [05:28] well, honestly, theres nothing wrong with managed code [05:28] and I say again: #ubuntu-offtopic? :P [05:28] except if its Java [05:28] :P [05:28] is tmr0 still here? [05:28] lol [05:28] primary: nope. afaik, a true realtime persistant connection requires the server to be able to push the mail to the client, and i dont think either gmail or evolution is set up for that. same with rss feeds in evolution. [05:28] codah: well AP/IB is pushing that into high school students, so eh :P [05:28] cmon :( im crying here plz i need help! :P [05:29] JAva has issues, but the JVM and .NET are not the same thing [05:29] !ask | arashb [05:29] arashb: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [05:29] codah: yeah [05:29] lol woot! [05:29] scguy318: yeah, the workings of proper propaganda on script kiddies .. :/ [05:29] primary: can't you just decrease your automatic check for new mail options, say down to 1 minute? [05:29] do i HAVE to reformat my ps3 jsut to install ubuntu?!??! [05:29] arashb you either have to reformat and install it or create a partition on your drive and install ubuntu on that partition [05:29] hey is it possible to practice c# in ubuntu? [05:29] crush [05:29] wait [05:29] ima pm u [05:30] no [05:30] newbiee: Mono Develop [05:30] nvm >< [05:30] lol [05:30] cant [05:30] but crush [05:30] kmac: primary thats a lot of overhead just for email....

[05:30] newbiee: sudo aptitude monodevelop I think [05:31] as for Beererde, im not a script kiddie, im a commercial developer, and there is nothing practical about unmanaged code [05:31] newbiee, sudo aptititude install monodevelop [05:31] newbiee: oh, Syantpci [05:31] newbiee: *Synaptic, search for the monodevelop package [05:31] im looking all over my ps3 and cant find create a partition only see format utility [05:31] aptitude* [05:31] arashb: don't you do that in the installer...? [05:31] codah: is mono more like c++ or vb? [05:31] Dev05: thanks, I can't type right now :P [05:31] can i do it in the installer? [05:31] WorkingOnWis1, C++ [05:31] or just "sudo apt-get monodevelop" [05:31] newbiee, The version in the repos is too old anyway, pull the tarballs from www.monodevelop.com [05:31] * nickrud used travois and sweat, this newfagled wheel stuff is for wusses [05:31] im installing it on the ps3 scguy [05:31] Mono is a managed runtime that languages run on top of [05:31] arashb . you have to format it then partition it . I would save all my info to an external; drive first if you have access to 1 [05:32] WorkingOnWis1, It's kind of like a cross between java and C++ [05:32] Mono <- Mono Libs <-- your code [05:32] n8 [05:32] scguy318, I wonder how you typed that :) [05:32] Dev05: VNC lag [05:32] crush but the thing is i downloaded some games from the PSN off my friends, i will lose those unless i redownload off them [05:32] Jordan_U: eficient code generally? [05:32] any way i could save those too? [05:32] scguy318, oh [05:32] in face.. (windows, max, linux) <--- Mono <--- Mono Libs <--- your code [05:32] WorkingOnWis1, Define efficient :) [05:33] arashb go read this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=343113 [05:33] WorkingOnWis1: define like [05:33] WorkingOnWis1, It's usually run in a virtual machine ( like java ) but it can also be compiled into native code (also like java ) [05:33] oh, so mono is javalike [05:33] Jordan_U: codah care to go to #ubuntu-offtopic so I can bounce a few ?? of u? [05:33] crush_groove: really, crush_groove? like, well, I saw it 'cause of dogma, and really would like my 90 minutes back ;) [05:34] i dont see any purpose in being 100% windows or 100% linux or whatever, every OS has its uses, except macs [05:34] lol @ codah === rob1 is now known as rob [05:34] phaedral, ? [05:34] crush_groove: just kidding [05:34] guys, i've just installed firefox 3 beta 2, and works great, but it seems he cannot find any of my old plugins. any tips? [05:34] codah, Final Cut Studio :) [05:34] Macs have plenty of uses. There's one right next to me, playing dragonforce from a myspace page. [05:34] codah, i see plenty purpose. freedom. when reactos goes beta, i'll give it a go [05:34] crush ive read all these :/ they all say i gotta format xD [05:34] Wait. Bad example. [05:34] there's a scene in dogma where damon has just shot someone on a bus [05:35] xiu, It can probably find them, they just don't work :) [05:35] hi [05:35] that's the scene that made me rent crush groove [05:35] * tanner wants to go paste that line to #apple (or whatever their channel is.. unless IRC is too ugly for mac users) [05:35] nickrud, Actually, .NET is just an implementation of all the .NET standards created by Microsoft, which ARE a rip off of Java, but somewhat better (I find). [05:35] Actually, Mono* [05:35] has ne1 here actually installed ps3 ubuntu? [05:35] tanner, It's ##mac but nobody likes trolls :) [05:35] Jordan_U: maybe he's looking in a wrong dir? [05:35] Dev05, I regretted writing that when right after, it was a complete troll [05:36] I've had maddening assembly reference problems in .NET, but that may be the fault of Visual Studio... so not a mono problem. [05:36] xiu, How did you install it? [05:36] well, unlike most linux distros, ubuntu is the one with the most future for your common desktop [05:36] Gentoo for servers [05:36] arashb, I believe there is an ubuntu ps3 irc room [05:36] codah: i much prefer openSUSE myself [05:36] yeah hard disk but nobody is there [05:36] but i also much prefer KDE =) [05:36] personal preference i suppose [05:36] Jordan_U: old firefox.. with ubuntu installation. ff 3b2 from a tar.bz2. uncompressed it in my homedir [05:36] and codah if you never played Marathon on a mac, then you've been missing out :) [05:36] but linux gives you that [05:37] I used plain Debian, NetBSD, FreeBSD, slackware... eventually said "screw it, I'll take lowest common denominator" [05:37] HardDisk: tbh, im nearly a 100% windows user [05:37] I'm a power user, but I don't really care to be [05:37] xiu, If you just uncompressed it and installed it then it should know where to find plugins, it did for me. [05:37] codah, and nothing wrong with that, as long as whatever it is you do works for you, that's all that counts. [05:37] however, im looking very hard at mono, and making cross platform graphics renderers in Managed code [05:38] anywho, bbs [05:38] although, i dont see much adoption of a linux graphics platform for commercial use [05:38] Jordan_U: I am just getting into programming. I have seen java and it is just so freakin slow. I mean efficient as in if i write clean code, will mono code run respectably, fast, compared to comparably written vb or java, although I know vb has improved a lot since 4.0 when i last looked at it. [05:38] Jordan_U: i moved my old profile btw. i'm gonna try with it. thank you :) [05:39] wasn't there a project with these two wierdos that developed an app that basically you would develop for one os and it would work on any os with it's own gui, almost like java [05:39] it was called rabbit or something [05:39] Squeak? [05:39] :) [05:39] HardDisk, the idea has been around for ages. :) I recall 'truebasic' years and years ago.... [05:39] HardDisk, Gambas is like that. [05:39] how are they weirdos for developing that? [05:40] you haven't seen their photos [05:40] no no none of the ones mentioned. === xipietotec_ is now known as xipietotec [05:40] ideally, programs that were developed for one operating system that can run on another is sensible [05:40] let me google [05:40] brb [05:40] but this is different.. [05:40] codah: re comercial graphics... you know that all of pixar is done on linux... shrek and everything! [05:40] wait let me find what I'm talking about [05:40] I am so tired of the "write once- run everywhere" crap...never seen it work fully.... [05:41] can someone help me with apache [05:41] what doesnt mean linux is a ideal platform for anyone other than pixar [05:41] WorkingOnWis1, Compile once, debug everywhere :) [05:41] can any one help how can i know if my graphic is fully installed? [05:41] codah: maya is linux native.. we just need photoshop [05:41] Jordan_U: lol oh, is that what they ment? hehe my bad! :) [05:41] content creation is one thing [05:41] code is another [05:41] can any one help how can i know if my graphic is fully installed? [05:42] most developers are familair with windows in general [05:42] how do i enable php in apache [05:42] Play65, If you see output, it works. For 3D acceleration and such, run glxgears and see if it runs properly. [05:42] i am seeing some blogs, articles that says ubuntu 7.10 is killing a laptop hard drive, is this true? [05:43] Tornadochas3r01: check if you've installed libapache2-mod-php5 package [05:43] how nice my desktop decided to restart itself. [05:43] anyway. [05:43] jame_027: sorta, it's not really Ubuntu's fault, HDD manufacturers putting bad info in their HDDs [05:43] ok [05:43] Dev05: i mean is there any option that can show that to me ? [05:43] codah, Linus is not (I guess) :) [05:43] codah: yes, direct3d is entrenched... i'm c++ guy [05:43] james_027: there's a Launchpad bug that discusses it I think [05:44] Play65, glxinfo will give you info on that. [05:44] WorkingOnWis1, What have you done in java that was noticeably slow? There are projects that use java which are just generally bloated code ( see: Azureus ), but the speed ( and more importantly memory ) issues are due to the fact that the code is run in a virtual machine, which is true of both Java and C# by default [05:44] scguy318: thanks : ) [05:44] xiu: how do i install it [05:44] Dev05: glxinfo in terminal? [05:44] I am back [05:44] WorkingOnWis1, I mean the speed / memory issues that ARE due to the choice of language alone [05:44] Play65, Yep, sorry, I should have told you. [05:44] james_027: the hdd manufacturers put bad settings in their hdd's firmware (faster the hdd dies, the faster they get money for a new one, right?). some systems override the manufacturer's settings. ubuntu doesn't by default, but you can change the settings [05:44] Tornadochas3r01: sudo apt-get install php5 [05:45] Dev05: it give me some complicated code what that should mean? [05:45] xiu: one problem my apt-get is messed i cantt install anything, [05:45] is there a way to fix this [05:45] apt-get install -f [05:45] Tornadochas3r01: "Messed" means....? [05:45] james_027: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695 [05:45] macogw: is there a article that teaches how to do that? [05:46] james_027: i think there's a page on the wiki about how to use hdparm [05:46] Play65, Scroll to the beginning of the output, right after you hit enter. What does it say for "direct rendering" and "client glx version string"? [05:46] macogw: messed up i cant install anything becuase of a corrupt package now i cant install anything [05:46] i get the same error [05:46] Tornadochas3r01: what error? [05:46] Tornadochas3r01, What error / package? [05:46] well here hold on [05:47] virtual box package [05:47] Dev05: yes and v1.04 [05:47] i messed up the install [05:47] Dev05: my graphic card is geforce 8600 mt [05:47] Beererde: are you online? [05:47] Dev05: sorry 8600 m gt [05:47] apt-get install -f [05:47] Play65, And you installed the nVidia proprietary drivers? Then you're fine.

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [05:47] how can I run firefox 3 in gutsy? [05:47] Play65, Does it say: client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation? [05:47] scguy318: thanks for the link [05:48] voidmage: download the tarball and unpack, then run the executable inside [05:48] Dev05: yes [05:48] distupgrade fsckd my system :( how can i reconfigure my packages? [05:48] Play65, Yeah, it's OK. [05:48] this is the error i get : E: The package virtualbox needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. [05:48] Beererde, fsck'd in what way? [05:48] Tornadochas3r01, sudo apt-get install -f [05:48] ok [05:49] I think I have figured out the reason why my cpu frequency does not change automately [05:49] HardDisk: that's apt-get -f install [05:49] Dev05: thanks and my labtop annoyed me you know i will adjust the brightness and after 5 min it will dark the screen [05:49] Jordan_U: it crashed in the middle of configuration, now nothing works, and it even deleted my menu.lst from grub (i was able to "fix" that). [05:49] Tornadochas3r01, Ahh, do you have the .deb you used to install virtual box with? [05:49] yyes [05:49] nalioth, works the same :) [05:49] Tornadochas3r01, Use the VirtualBox repos. [05:49] i do have the deb [05:49] Beererde, sudo dpkg --configure -a [05:49] Dev05: and again i need to press fn button and increas bright any suggestion? [05:49] Jordan_U: thx [05:49] but it wont let me install it [05:49] and there is problem how can I resolve it. [05:49] Jordan_U: did nothing [05:50] Play65, Do you use GNOME? [05:50] Jordan_U: i remember there was an option apt-get --reconfigure or sth [05:50] Dev05: yes [05:50] nothing working [05:50] you may have dependencies issues Tornadochas3r01 [05:50] umm idk [05:50] did you follow the virtualbox website? [05:50] yes [05:50] Play65, Run gnome-power-preferences and check the settings for display dimming. [05:50] Beererde, If you really want to reconfigure everything run: sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a -phigh [05:50] but the install failed first timw on ubuntu [05:50] Dev05: it annoyed me each time it will reset i mean the screen go dark again and i need to adjust it again [05:50] this happend [05:50] Jordan_U: ok [05:51] should also be fixed by, sudo dpkg --configure -a [05:51] then reinstall the package again with a --force-all [05:51] Play65, Sincerely, it does that to me too sometimes. I know that's the way you set it, but it might not work. [05:51] but [05:51] before you do [05:51] make sure you have your ubuntu updated [05:51] does nothing [05:51] it's gutsy/feisty? [05:52] i dont know how to get apt-get to reset or delete virtualbox [05:52] Dev05: thanks it work [05:52] Play65, Great. No problem.

[05:53] ok [05:53] did you copy the whole line? [05:53] yes [05:54] Tornadochas3r01, May be try sudo aptitude --purge-all virtualbox or something like that? Instead of apt-get use aptitude.

I ask because the man page only shows --purge [05:56] young: you can't change this because its built into the cpu [05:56] anybody here gotten a conexant hsf fax modem to work with ubuntu 7.10?

[06:00] Dev05: how should i do it? [06:00] my cpu fan is running at at 4000 rpm about. [06:00] nickrud: i posted it [06:00] it's no problem [06:00] Tornadochas3r01, what's the url? [06:00] young: how old is it? maybe you can report it to the manufacturer [06:00] !raid [06:00] 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 [06:00] its http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49254/ i thik [06:00] young: and get a new one [06:00] Dev05: is it possible my monitor is not installed ? [06:00] Cubexombi, No, since there's no compiz, it will launch Metacity by default. Just right-click on your desktop, go to Appearance, click on the "Effects" tab and select no effects. Compiz won't come up again. [06:01] there [06:01] Tornadochas3r01, where'd you get the virtualbox package from? [06:01] a new fan? :(, net yet, It's expensive for me. [06:01] young: no a new notebook [06:01] nickrud: i got it form there website [06:01] young: this is not normal when it gets hot so fast [06:01] young: maybe you have warranty left [06:01] Play65, nvidia-settings should detect everything fine. System->Preferences->whatever doesn't work. I have an nVidia and I have the same problem as you. [06:02] Tornadochas3r01, do you have it on your filesystem somewhere? [06:02] UbuntMe: http://phorolinux.com/installing-firefox-30-beta-1-on-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon.html [06:02] yes [06:02] but it wont let me inatll or do anything [06:02] with it [06:02] i iwh someone could do this for me lol [06:02] this bash problem I'm having is quite annoying [06:02] Dev05: ok thanks [06:03] the better you get at linux, the fewer people there are to help you...lol [06:03] it is no warranty now. maybe I can only let it go. [06:03] Tornadochas3r01, ok, next step: in the terminal, cd into the dir that has it, then run sudo dpkg -i virtualbox <-- hit the tab key to fill out the name [06:03] I'm attempting to use Gparted to unallocate some space for Ubuntu but it says my partition is locked? what can i do about that [06:03] young: where is it standing? on a table or on a pillow? [06:03] kk [06:03] h/o [06:03] Tornadochas3r01, if it fails, paste that error [06:03] young: ensure proper ventilation [06:03] ok [06:04] anybody know how to get a conexant hsf fax modem to run under gutsy 7.10 ? [06:04] "ssh" "awk" "w" and other common programs just disappeared. but it's only some. not all. anyone know why this would happen? [06:04] Dev05 None of what you just said makes any sense on gutsy.. no right click appearance, no "effects tab" .. and no automajically switching to a wm I've not used before. [06:04] I'm attempting to use Gparted to unallocate some space for Ubuntu but it says my partition is locked? what can i do about that [06:04] Cubexombi, ? Are you running KDE? [06:04] Nope. [06:05] Cubexombi, ? Xfce? [06:05] just on table, I think there is no problem in ventilation. [06:05] nope [06:05] young: then its just a bad design... [06:05] h/o working [06:05] young, Then open the thing up and clean the heat sinks and the fan. My father's got a Toshiba and it was so dirty it would shut down after five minutes of usage of overheating. [06:06] Cubexombi, Then what do you have? [06:06] Cubexombi, I run Gutsy and I've got all those things. [06:06] Hi, I setup a VNC server but am getting a connection error. Can someone help? [06:06] Hello, hello! I have a laptop with a wired NIC and a wireless NIC. I have the wireless connected to the internet, and the wired is connected to my Ubuntu server (7.10) through a crossover cable. How can I get my Ubuntu server to communicate with my laptop and take advantage of my wireless internet connection? [06:06] subfreeze: firestarter [06:06] Dev05 though I'm tempted to go back to xfce, had better luck on this laptop running Plain ol' Ubuntu 7.10 with Gnome.. [06:06] firestarter? I can't download anything to the ubuntu server :( [06:06] nickrud do u have vnc [06:07] subfreeze: run firestarter on the machine with wireless, and firestarter will give you an option to allow the other machine to access internet. [06:07] Tornadochas3r01, no [06:07] nvm [06:07] Tornadochas3r01, did it fail? [06:07] cratel: Is Firestarter for WindowsXP? [06:07] i dont know if i doing thbis right or now [06:07] Laptop == XP Pro. Server == Ubuntu 7.10 Server [06:07] i am typing in this run sudo dpkg -i virtualbox [06:08] It is T43, with 915 chipset and dothan CPU up to 1.8GHz, and a Ati X300 GPU, so it generate much more heat. [06:08] o [06:08] subfreeze: your wireless is a WinXP machine? Sorry I didn't catch that. Firestarter is Linux. [06:08] Cubexombi, I don't know, you should have those options. Run gnome-appearance-properties. [06:08] do i have to find the virtual box package of my hdd [06:08] Tornadochas3r01 dpkg -i dpkg -i virtual try that , hit the tab with no space between the l and the tab [06:09] ok [06:09] Tornadochas3r01, yes, you have to be int the same directory as the file [06:09] some on the web said it can be up to 80 degree above, that's really horrible [06:09] young: yeah [06:09] young: but it begins throttling at 70, which is also pretty high [06:10] Dev05 .. thats the ticket.. thx === LifeHacker is now known as tuxmaniac [06:10] hmmm, anyone know how I can do the networking from 7.10->XP->Internet? [06:10] luckly my cpu can fall down when it reach 70, at least it won't be burnt, that's the bright side. :) === macele_ is now known as macele [06:10] ok [06:10] i think i did it rught [06:10] server2@Server2:~$ dpkg -i <'/home/server2/Desktop/virtualbox_1.5.2-25433_Ubuntu_feisty_i386(3).deb'> [06:10] can i reconfigure all packages with default settings? i don't want to enter information [06:10] Cubexombi, You're welcome. It's called "Change Desktop Background" in the right click menu on the desktop. Sorry about that. [06:11] now i have the package installer [06:11] young: yeah, since you have no warranty anymore ... [06:11] Tornadochas3r01, good, but without the <' at the beginning or the '> at the end [06:11] 70 is high? for T43, it is very common to reach temperture like that. [06:11] ok [06:11] young, It's too much for the processor. [06:11] Tornadochas3r01, scratch that, just without the < and the > [06:11] young: it seems high to me [06:11] Hi, I setup a VNC server but am getting a connection error. Can someone help? [06:12] FluxD: sure what is the error? [06:12] FluxD: give more detail of your problem [06:12] ok [06:12] i did [06:13] did it work? if not, put the full error on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org again [06:13] its working [06:13] computertech99, cratel : I used this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC installed that using ssh. Now on windows when trying to connect it wont connect [06:13] i think [06:13] lol [06:13] FluxD: are the right ports open / forwarded on the router [06:13] fortunately, my cpu is run at 800MHz, and the cpu tempertuer does not beyond 60 degree at most time. [06:13] lets see if it installs again [06:14] young: it will go down to 0 mhz if necessary [06:14] macogw: there is no router on ubuntu machine how can I check if a port is open in netstat the program is running [06:14] FluxD: any firewall running on the Windows machine? [06:14] FluxD: oh all ports are closed until a service opens it up. if ssh-server is on the ubuntu machine, you should be able to ssh to it [06:14] cratel: I allowed it to connect [06:14] its taking a while [06:14] macogw: how do I do that connect to 127.0.0.1 ? [06:14] Tornadochas3r01, a good sign [06:14] is that true, it's very intresting, what would happen, if it down to 0 MHz. :) [06:15] FluxD: what? [06:15] I'm attempting to use Gparted to unallocate some space for Ubuntu from a liveCD but it says my partition is locked and i can't resize it. what can i do? [06:15] young: your system would halt [06:15] young: and you would not even be able to move the mouse [06:15] macogw: I have ssh access on ubuntu machine how would I get vnc working? [06:15] FluxD: that's where youd find a site if you had a web server running on your computer [06:15] Busybyeski, in gparted, right click and click unmount [06:15] Busybyeski: what is the OS you are trying to resize? [06:15] FluxD: are you trying to get into windows or into ubuntu? === amidaniel is now known as amidaniel|away [06:15] dos any one know any good linux games that are free or pay????

[06:16] iNickrud: am only 13 and linux is hard but thank you very very much nickrud [06:16] cratel: i know but it was recommended to me to use gparted [06:16] Busybyeski, I believe you can and should resize vista partitions from vista [06:16] macogw: its allowed to connect [06:16] oh okay [06:16] I need to split a large (3gig) iso file into a lot of smaller pieces so that I can transfer it to a windowsXP machine, and then put it back into the original single file to burn. Any suggestions? [06:16] i'll go do that [06:16] thanks [06:17] Tornadochas3r01, np, the younger we convert you, the sooner you become a developer :) [06:17] : Glad to talk to you, thank very much for your help. see you later. [06:17] FluxD: is the vnc server running on the ubuntu machine? [06:17] subfreeze, For a gnome-terminal or for an actual VT?

One, do you have a firewall in windows? 2: have you installed the vnc server in ubuntu. 3: do you have a router? 4 is this windows machine part of the home network or somewhere else? [06:17] actually it doesn't have to be put on a winXP machine... scratch that last part [06:17] FluxD: what port does vnc run on? are you aiming for the right port from windows?

[06:19] subfreeze, You have to add the vga=xxx to your Kernel boot params. xxx for 1280x1024 I think is 775 [06:19] ok let me register my nick [06:19] serenityUK: thx all check in to it [06:19] ahhh [06:19] how do i register my nickname on this server [06:19] Bllz: The "split" command is good at spliting files. ;-) [06:19] computertech99: the file needs to be burned on a dvd ultimately, but the computer it's on doesn't have a dvd burner. So i need to get that file onto the other computer... all i can think of is my 256mb usb drive [06:20] flash drive, sorry [06:20] Dev05: will that result in a real textmode? or graphics mode with emulated text?

[06:21] stroyan: where "bigfile" is the path to the file? [06:21] Dev05: cool, because the text mode which was really a graphics mode sucked, was very slow in scrolling (i'm in 80x25 now and could use some more resolution :)) [06:21] are there any games like counter strike for linux besides installing wine and puting counter strike on linux???? [06:21] FluxD: on which machine? [06:21] Beererde, It's great for coding :) [06:21] computertech99: ubuntu [06:21] Dev05: i'll try vga=775 [06:21] Dev05: and for irssi [06:21] Where do I change the terminal settings to set vga=775? [06:21] Bllz: Yes. It will split into smaller files with incrementing suffice values. See "man split". [06:22] okay sounds good! thanks a lot stroyan!

Run sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst, look for the boot option you always use and add vga=775 at the end. Reboot then. [06:25] stroyan: would cat and a pipe work yes? [06:25] How can I check if a port is connectable and open if I dont have a gui? [06:25] serenityUK: cat, but no pipe. [06:25] how much space should i leave free to make a partition for ubuntu?

[06:30] subfreeze alt + ctrl and Backspace [06:30] How do i change the order of things in Grub?? [06:30] stroyan: process substitution i mean [06:30] subfreeze, No, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace is for X.

[06:32] subfreeze, You can always boot from a LiveCD, mount your root partition, edit the file and reboot. But if your monitor and card support 1280x1024, then setting vga=775 will work just fine. [06:32] ultimatsz: yes [06:32] beeree and then? [06:32] Dev05: I did 0x31A [06:32] subfreeze, Actually, it will tell you and ask you for a new resolution mode or allow you to scan now that I remember. [06:33] erm.. i was wondering.. if anyone can tell me the location of epiphany's icon? i would like to change it [06:33] There are tables of VGA modes out there. [06:33] Hello again. Does anyone know of a good calendar/e-mail program for Ubuntu? Evolution and Thunderbird (with the Lightning add-on) both seem to have issues [06:33] Dev05: Yep, and I put in a value it doesn't like, so I'll change it to 795 [06:33] you'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel [06:33] FluxD: nmap -v -A 192.168.1.1-255 or just put in your IP address on the network. [06:33] ultimatsz, try 'locate epiphany ' [06:33] anybody familiar with Kiba-Dock? [06:34] ultimatsz, Either /usr/share/pixmaps or /usr/share/icons//apps [06:34] i meant the xpm file.. [06:34] i couldnt find it there... [06:35] FluxD: that will show you all the open ports on your computer/network [06:35] like for example.. firefox one is at the chrome/default/default.xpm [06:36] can someone explain to me how i can use free unallocated space to create an ext3 and swap partition? [06:36] computertech99: what if I want to see from my windows computer the same info [06:36] FluxD: install nmap and do the same command. [06:36] ultimatsz, Run alacarte, look for Epiphany, right-click it, hit properties and change the icon. [06:37] Do I need to setup software raid during my Ubuntu install off of the CD, or, do I do it after the install is complete? [06:38] its easier from the cd [06:38] can someone explain to me how i can use free unallocated space to create an ext3 and swap partition? i have 15 gigs of free space but don't know whether i should use a primary or logical drive, where to mount it, etc. [06:38] nickru: u there i got one questio about mysql [06:38] nickrid [06:38] oopd [06:38] sorry very bad typing today [06:38] blargh [06:38] busybyeski: install ubuntu.. there is a option to install with the unallocated space [06:38] Q: Flash in not working on sites that require flash. For example, I have installed it through add/remove...it states it is present there...but does not work on the sites. Firefox does not see it: is this because of the beta 3 update?

[06:40] there should be 3... install ubuntu with your entire harddisk [06:40] the second one is use the unallocated space [06:40] xfce8525: no, it's because of a bug/Adobe's update of Flash [06:40] 3rd is to setup your own... use the 2nd one? [06:40] how do I set a program to run when I boot? [06:40] Busybyeski: there is a maximum of 4 primary partitions... if u need more than this that is why we have extended partitions.. you would create more logical partitions inside the extened one to get past the old 4 partition barrier [06:40] oh i was doing manual [06:40] I need some help with a cracker on my system [06:40] Jgz: you sure someone is in? [06:40] Dev05 I did horizontal 4 vertical 1 but I still see my desktop but no cube in the center [06:40] xfce8525: though tarball is prob the easiest way out, or you could use a deb [06:40] yes [06:40] jgz: How? [06:40] thanks ultimatsz / serenityUK [06:41] how to make my usb headphone play the sound instead of the laptop speakers? [06:41] does the bootloader come automatically with ubuntu [06:41] Just a quick question.. would Ubuntu 7.10 run good on a p3-850 laptop with 384mb ram? would the GUI be laggy at all? [06:41] J-E-L-L-0: GUI would be laggy on that system. [06:42] aww [06:42] ok.. i would up the RAM but i cant.. its maxed [06:42] J-E-L-L-0: run Xubuntu/Fluxbuntu [06:42] my sys logs are strange need someone to look at them and tell me if something is wrong [06:42] J-E-L-L-0: I would recommend using the xfce version of ubuntu [06:42] jgz: Strange? Send me a message and let me know how they are strange. [06:42] * Khisanth ran it on a 750 with 256 :) [06:42] perhaps I need to make the destop smaller cause the cube function is there if I click on the bottom right of desktop [06:42] Busybyeski: extendid is just a wrapper for more logical partitions inside it, nd yes Ubuntu will install GRUB to boot between manu OS [06:42] why won't my migrate from vista show up in the installer? [06:42] any idea? [06:43] how do i access the bootloader? [06:43] hmm, well i want something i can browse the web.. use my wireless card and general playing with scripts. I was thinking a Windows 2000 and Ubuntu dual boot... [06:43] everything was fine as long as there wasn't too many pages opened in FF [06:43] if I change settings in my samba configuration file, is there something I need to do to restart the service for the changes to take effect? [06:43] anyone know of a good movie player that runs in a console? [06:43] Busybyeski: did you select use entire disk or smoething that would not be so good? [06:43] Son of a monkey.

[07:31] I don't know why it gave it write access [07:31] wolfman2323: NTFS-3G [07:31] ownlinux: YES TRUE [07:31] yahoo354: laughing out loud (the z is slang) [07:31] yahoo354, Theres quite a few browsers on Ubuntu which you can use however Im nto sure if they are better than FF etc. [07:31] wow.. its fast here.. [07:31] ownlinux: there is no IE for Ubuntu. [07:31] Zlfnab__: you should have mounted it ro...:( [07:31] hello all [07:31] scguy what is the 3g [07:31] kidalabama: also OPERA is better than ID [07:31] computertech99: :D [07:32] how should i make my self admin of my system.... [07:32] kidalabama: also OPERA is better than IE [07:32] * KazraC like firefox [07:32] scguy: is it dif that ntfs [07:32] cabrioleur: WINE+IE [07:32] !ot | ownlinux [07:32] ownlinux: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [07:32] wolfman2323: no idea, NTFS-3G is just a name I tihnk [07:32] Filled-Void: which one for exmple please? [07:32] wolfman2323: oh, possibly 3G = third generation, dunno [07:32] wolfman2323: it's different than the kernel support for NTFS, yes [07:32] computertech99: is it any option use ie 7/ [07:32] ie7? [07:32] scguy: but im using..a laptop.. how could i know.. [07:32] [emsda [07:33] newbiee: read the articles @ http://tldp.org [07:33] hey guys, I was recompiling my kernel, and torched my terminal [07:33] yahoo354: no, you cannot use IE7. that's Windows only. [07:33] yahoo354, GO to APplications > Add remove program select internet and then search for browsers [07:33] i have got KWorld PVR-TV 2800RF USB 2 - V4LWiki tv card but i cant run in ubuntu [07:33] yahoo354: IE7 on Wine is a long ways off, the installer cannot even start due to a bug [07:33] USE UBUNTU forget windows [07:33] Ron Paul 2008!!! [07:34] all the other hardware is running very good. [07:34] yahoo354: unless you were to use a windows emulator. WINE doesn't cut it, however [07:34] scguy318: Actually, I got IE 7 on wine [07:34] i had to reinstall bash [07:34] anyone from phillipines? [07:34] cabrioleur: the ies4linux way doesn't technically count ;) :P [07:34] folks it is a bit offtopic can we return to the topic please [07:34] nope Nz here [07:34] I am from china [07:34] cabrioleur: since it simply puts IE 6 + IE7 render engine [07:34] computertech99: what is wine === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:34] how can i fix hal and ntfs drivers so that automounting ntfs flash drives doesnt give permission problems? [07:35] oops.. theres an ongoing topic?? [07:35] oops.. theres an ongoing topic?? [07:35] yahoo354: Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X, OpenGL, and Unix. [07:35] scguy318: nope, IE7 installer. [07:35] wine is a vvindows emulator [07:35] linux_stu: are you using Gentoo or buntu ? [07:35] KazraC: it's not actually [07:35] HymnToLife, gentoo [07:35] ubuntu [07:35] cabrioleur: do tell how, the Wine AppDb would be glad to know :) [07:35] KazraC: Wine Is Not an Emulator !!!!! [07:35] linux_stu, then you should be in #gentoo [07:36] (the dude just asked the very same thing on #gentoo) [07:36] hi everybody [07:36] HymnToLife, i'm desperate [07:36] hi [07:36] KazraC: LOL ROFL!! [07:36] HymnToLife, well spotted [07:36] scguy318: sure, I'll write it down in my spare time. [07:36] does anyone else have problems with firefox taking up 10-20%+ cpu time when it's sitting in the background? [07:36] computertech99: it get complicated ,i just forget about it ,i just wonder know the iffrent between kde and gnome [07:36] cabrioleur: dont worry he doesnt have a clue most of the time about anything in general. [07:36] cabrioleur: i know him personally... [07:36] (not to mention the blatant memory leaks, but i'm sure THAT's not the problem...) [07:36] I need a terminal/bash expert [07:36] anyone out there? [07:37] no :P [07:37] !anyone | ciphercast [07:37] ciphercast: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [07:37] voidmage: ever thought about switching to a decent browser ? ;) [07:37] like what could you possibly have in mind? IE? [07:37] ompaul, are you on a crusade or something? [07:37] voidmage: Opera comes to mind, though I like my Firefox extensions :P [07:37] scguy318: same. [07:37] linux_stu, to keep this place on topic and with ubuntu help [07:38] opera is faster [07:38] voidmage: the Firefox beta is supposedly better with the CPU/mem issues [07:38] yahoo354: they are different GUI's. Think of them as desktop managers. Gnome is the default look of Ubuntu, KDE is the default look of Kubuntu. [07:38] wt is the meaning of this :E: Package realplayer has no installation candidate [07:38] _anything_ is faster than FF [07:38] my terminal is just displaying "$" for every user and "#" for root, the [box]@[user] is missing [07:38] computertech99: can install kde on ubuntu? [07:38] I wouldn't be surprised if even IE were [07:38] use mplayer [07:38] yahoo354: yes [07:38] yahoo354: yes [07:38] it's better than realplayer [07:39] ciphercast: type "echo $SHELL" [07:39] i am trying to get the codecs [07:39] ciphercast: what does it return ? [07:39] ciphercast: if you're using bash, check your .bashrc [07:39] ArabEyes: no deb in repos. [07:39] computertech99: does it have more feature? [07:39] its bash [07:39] Right now i have my drive letters backwards in windows xp. I am wanting to install Ubuntu Gusty can i fix the drive letters in Windows once in Gusty? OR is there a quick way of doing it in Windows(Recovery Console or elsewhere)??? [07:39] yahoo354: if u wish [07:39] ciphercast: sure of that ? [07:39] well ompaul problems with 1 distro may affect another. i was just checking [07:39] good night everyone [07:40] HymnToLife: what do you mean? [07:40] ArabEyes, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [07:40] good night ?? [07:40] what about can i install kubuntu and ubuntu in same time? [07:40] scguy318: to use the firefox beta do i need to get packages from mozilla? [07:40] yahoo354: yes, but it looks more cluttered than i like. look at some screenshots here: http://kde.org/screenshots/ [07:40] ciphercast: are you sure you're running Bash and not something else like Dash ? [07:40] mongo1: It has nothing to do with partition table now. The easiest way would be to assign the correct letters to proper partitions in windows xp. [07:40] ciphercast: echo $SHELL will tell you [07:40] voidmage: just download the tarball and unpack to an empty directory, the Firefox binary is in it [07:41] computertech99: which one do you prefer if you dont mid [07:41] mind [07:41] yahoo354: to install, type this: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop [07:41] yahoo354: course you can, just aptitude install kubuntu-desktop [07:41] pwn3d :( [07:41] cabrioleur: how can i do that in winxp since its the 2 partitions are on the drive in use? [07:41] HymnToLife: "/bin/bash" i'm a pretty decent linux user, been running lin-only for 3 yrs... [07:41] I have a DVD disc with a session that wasn't closed, can anyone tell me how to close it? [07:41] and what would happen to my gnome? [07:41] yahoo354: it all depends on the person. i personally like Gnome better because it's "cleaner" looking. But others would have to disagree. I do like how the password manager works in KDE, however. [07:41] ciphercast: check your .bashrc [07:41] mongo1: there was an option to execute the changes during next bootup. [07:42] ciphercast: then you should know that you should edit the PS1 environment variable to change your prompt [07:42] I've been using Linux only for 8 years... [07:42] yahoo354, you can log into either. [07:42] computertech99: ok [07:42] 8 years so long [07:42] cabrioleur: ? where i have been looking for a solution here for awhile and haven't found anything :( if you could help it would be great... [07:42] hi, when the system start the first program launched is loader(grub I think). I would like just to know where can I manage the startup options regarding loader? [07:42] yahoo354, kde/gnome are only gui interfaces. [07:42] ok you mean in login page [07:42] i just 2 years [07:42] HymnToLife: then your soul is that much cleaner than mine... [07:42] yahoo354: install it and see if you like it, if you don't uninstall it. [07:42] yahoo354, you can even install xfce if you wanted as well. [07:43] mongo1: I would like to, but not on this channel. [07:43] ciphercast: that's weird though, I was sure Ubuntu had a default prompt in the global bashrc... [07:43] yahoo354: this is the command to uninstall it: sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop [07:43] lonejack, in /boot/grub/menu.lst [07:43] HardDisk , thanx [07:43] np [07:43] anyway, just set PS1 to whatever you want your prompt to look like [07:43] I have an Apache question, if anyone is able to answer: What is a simple config directive to keep a browser from getting into domain.tld/log, assuming the file structure is /data/domain/log ? [07:43] cabrioleur: pst me the channel then? [07:44] lawl my laffy taffy wrapper says, "Q: What's Tux's favorite beverage? A: Root Beer" [07:44] ere4si, thanx [07:44] k [07:44] gogzmer: Order allow,deny \n deny from all [07:44] thanks a lot for all of you just let me installed and i get back to you in 5 min [07:45] yahoo354: k [07:45] HymnToLife: it does, that's my problem-i've checked all the routine items, let me explain how this started [07:45] Hi I am about to unban a lot of banned nicks there will be some scrolling please bear with us for a moment [07:45] HymnToLife: Can I do that from the main server config by putting it in tags? [07:45] mongo1: #windows is a proper one. [07:46] I need to find a umask that lets me mount my ntfs partiion with read only permissions for "nobody" as well as read-write for both root and plugdev. Does anyone know what that umask would be? [07:46] -bbbb? [07:46] house keeping finished [07:46] ader10: removing multiple ban masks [07:46] gogzmer: certainly [07:46] ah [07:46] Tell me the name for the CLI version of pidgin. Dad has plugged out the mouse from my PC and put it somewhere and I really *have* to talk to somebody. After that, Christmas may come! [07:46] I don't know much about irc, as you can clearly see : [07:46] cruox: Finch [07:47] ompaul, I believe your ban list must have broken a record. [07:47] cabrioleur: k im in there when you get a chance thanks [07:47] HymnToLife: I wanted to use /bin/bash instead of /bin/dash as my shell, so I just relinked it, problem was that I was tired and typed the ln backwards, so it overwrote the binary bash [07:47] which wasn't that big a deal, just reinstalled the pkg [07:47] scguy318: hey, thanks. [07:47] so all those people were the same guy? [07:47] problem solved [07:47] I haven't seen a ban list that big since the #kkk [07:47] gogzmer: should look like this to block all access http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49260/ [07:47] hey i need some help installing nvidia drivers [07:47] gogzmer: then you can allow specific hosts if you wish [07:47] i keep getting a error message saying inot in root [07:47] how do i change this? [07:47] HardDisk, no -- that was only a few [07:48] ader10, no [07:48] ompaul, :) [07:48] so I've been thinking about switching from kubuntu to ubuntu for a while [07:48] but can't make up my mind enough [07:48] Tmo85: prefix the command you're trying to do with sudo [07:48] ciphercast: reinstall bash then ;) === cew_gemini is now known as cow_kerenbgt [07:48] voidmage, have a beer then decide. [07:48] ok [07:48] how do i do that? [07:48] HymnToLife: that's what i did [07:48] HardDisk: good idea, i'll get right on that. [07:48] Tmo85: sudo ..... [07:48] voidmage: use both until you come up with the conclusion :) [07:48] HymnToLife: Hmm...yes, I tried that, and http://domain.tld/log still lists the files [07:48] i did sudo -i [07:49] I'll try putting it in .htaccess [07:49] Tmo85: are you in the root shell? and have you looked at !nvidia [07:49] voidmage, you could always try xfce to add to your indecisions. [07:49] or E17 [07:49] or flux [07:49] or flux [07:49] but now bash doesn't recognize any arrow keys (history doesn't work) and every terminal for every user just displays a "$" [07:49] :) [07:49] wow, that's a whole lot of beer [07:49] im very new to this [07:49] still geatting my head around it all [07:50] im just trying to set up my graphics [07:50] main thing is don't rush. [07:50] and always try to go the way of the old saying "teach a man to fish" route. [07:50] iv tired puting sudo -i then putting in sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.07-pkg2.run but im always getting error messages [07:51] ciphercast: do a bash --version and see what it return [07:51] Tmo85: you should write ./NVIDIA-... but does the Restricted Driver Manager not do it for you? [07:51] looks very much like you're still running Dash [07:51] ciphercast: paste this into /etc/bash.bashrc... PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ ' then source bash.bashrc to reload. [07:51] no net connection yet [07:51] !ot [07:51] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [07:51] im going to workout the ndwrapper program later [07:51] to get my wifi set up [07:52] Tmo85: alrighty, then just do ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.07-pkg2.run [07:52] Tmo85: since the NVIDIA installer is a binary, and not a shell script [07:52] anyway, we have zsh these days [07:52] who needs Bash ? [07:52] HymnToLife: "bash --version" gives me an illegal operation [07:52] im sorry, i asked this like an hour ago and didnt read the response because my computer tweaked out [07:52] ciphercast: then it's not bash ;) [07:52] What is the big difference between ubuntu and other distros? [07:53] hey, i don't care what i use, as long as it works :) [07:53] fark0: Ubuntu is at the top of the Distrowatch rankings, for what it's worth :P [07:53] well, Dash doesn't exactly "work" for interactive use [07:53] fark0, you could read the reviews at linux.com [07:53] it's meant to run only shell scripts [07:53] fark0: plus it comes with a lot of hardware support out of box [07:53] ah, so /bin/bash could be a ln as well [07:53] oooh i like hardware support [07:54] ciphercast: do a ls -l /bin/bash [07:54] fark0, and check out their chat channels to see the support [07:54] that'll tell you if it's a ln [07:54] instead of using an audio switch or splitter between my windows and ubuntu pc, can i run ubuntu as an audio server to play any windows sounds through it, so it acts like a mixer? [07:54] ere4si: it seems as though this channel is at the top of freenode, sorted by users that is [07:54] interesting [07:55] yep [07:55] fark0, only because it became popular with the noobs. [07:55] 1) major community support and 2) guides. [07:55] well maybe you knowledgeable folks know how i would go about installing an app to my live disk such that when i burn it and boot off disk, it is there [07:55] HymnToLife: haha, i can't believe this [07:55] !noob | HardDisk [07:55] HardDisk: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [07:55] points to /bin/sh [07:55] dammit [07:55] @HardDisk: i am one of those noobs, i believe [07:55] well you know what I mean. [07:56] I'm one myself. [07:56] you learn something new everyday. [07:56] !help [07:56] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [07:57] and nothing wrong with rtfm imho, a bit of self learning never hurt anyone. [07:57] amenb [07:57] ciphercast: then you'll have to exit your bash, do a "sudo rm /bin/bash" and then reinstall it (sudo apt-get install --reinstall bash) [07:57] -b [07:57] does ubuntu normally point /bin/bash -> /bin/sh? [07:57] (you could also switch to zsh ;)) [07:57] no [07:58] some of our generations greatest inventors and discoverers became so because they had no manual in the first place. [07:58] the other way around [07:58] @HymnToLife: what is zsh? new shell i smell? [07:58] yep, and a darn good one [07:58] oooh..hmm [07:58] do tell [07:58] HymnToLife: why is that? [07:58] whilst i google [07:58] and once they developed what they did, they wrote a manual for it, so others could learn. [07:59] maddash: much bette completion and commad-line editing, to begin with [07:59] I really fcuked that up [07:59] better* [07:59] How can I reach the gnome menu without a mouse? (so some keyboard shortcuts, or something) [07:59] cruox: Ctrl+Esc [07:59] fark0: don't forget there are a millions #ubuntu channels.. #ubuntu-de #ubuntu-gb #kubuntu.. [08:00] haha [08:00] fark0: that doesn't seem to work. I'd need the "Applications" menu. [08:00] ubuntu become another windows vista [08:00] hrmhrmhrm [08:00] tons of version [08:00] you mean Alt-F1 [08:01] duh [08:01] cruox: alt-f1 [08:01] oh :( [08:01] cruox: alt-f2 is run dialog too [08:01] rm -f /self [08:01] lkthomas: not really, all the Ubuntu editions have the same base packages, just starts out with different packages by default, if I understand correctly [08:02] scguy318: different packages ?! [08:02] serenityUK: thanks. I knew altf2 btw. [08:02] so I don't need to upgrade ? [08:02] except for ubuntu satanic edition, which comes with a virgin for sacrificial uses. [08:02] that is the most awesome thing i have ever heard [08:02] Anybody got any recommendations for smartphones that natively run linux? [08:02] and also, ubuntu doesnt restrict any of those versions b/c of price paid. and ubuntu stimulates community development [08:02] HardDisk: 6buntu 7.10 -- Vixen Virgin [08:02] lkthomas: to what? [08:02] thegame, openmoko [08:03] scguy318: I don't understand how is it work [08:03] scguy318: what is the meaning of diff version then ?! [08:03] HardDisk: o' wise sage, would you know anything about incorporating an app into ubuntu [08:03] does anyone know if gutsy has support for ntfs partitions? [08:03] julz: yes, NTFS-3G [08:03] fark0, you mean installing an app? [08:04] i'm scooting out of here for tonight. laterz all! [08:04] lkthomas: the best feature linu has is choice. you can choose between many different types of packages. even desktop environments [08:04] lkthomas: some are setup for gnome or for KDE or XFCE [08:04] whats a good program to see the temp of my cpu? [08:04] lkthomas: each version is basically a stable freeze of the current packages in the Ubuntu repos [08:04] lkthomas: I mistook your statement and thought you were talking about the editions :P [08:04] no, I mean what's diff between 6.x 7.x and 8.x [08:04] lkthomas: so kubuntu uses kde, ubuntu, uses gnome, xubuntu, xfce [08:04] yes, HardDisk [08:04] hmm [08:04] scguy318: is it buggy? would i be better off to simply format my disks to ext3? [08:04] i mean, installing it into an ISO [08:04] jrsims, personally I use an oven thermometer, makes it look like a modded pc :) [08:05] lkthomas: that is the year they came out [08:05] such that when burned and booted to, it exists compiled and ready to run [08:05] lkthomas: ooooooo.... the year.month.. 7.10 = 2007.10 [08:05] serenityUK: so every year I have to upgrade ?!\ [08:05] lkthomas: 7.10 is 2007.october [08:05] fark0, well you have a few ways...GUI and CLI the gui way either via synaptic or add/remove [08:05] via CLI apt-get or aptitude [08:05] do I need to upgrade ? [08:05] lkthomas: new version every six months.. 8.04 comes out in april [08:05] serenityUK: I know, but do I have to upgrade ? [08:05] there's an old saying, if it ain't broke don't fix it. [08:05] I am running server, [08:05] though you don't _have_ to upgrade when a new version comes out [08:06] HardDisk: hmm [08:06] you do not need to, but its never a bad idea [08:06] aptitude eh [08:06] lkthomas: you don't need to, unless you have a compelling reason [08:06] lkthomas: no but u get new programs if u want.. it uprades with loosing ur settings [08:06] serenityUK, not always. [08:06] !u | serenityUK [08:06] serenityUK: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. [08:06] lkthomas: WITHOUT! i mean without loosing settings lol [08:06] well, I wouldn't upgrade then [08:06] HymnToLife: I can't seem to make directory denial work from the server config, but it works fine from htaccess files. Thanks though [08:07] last time debian upgrade from 3.0 to 4.0 was very smooth [08:07] !nerd | HymnToLife [08:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about nerd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:07] but I wouldn't take the bet next time [08:07] lkthomas: you meant 3.1 I guess [08:07] HymnToLife: yes [08:07] I'd assume a Woody -> Etch upgrade to be _very_ cumbersome [08:07] HymnToLife: courier-imap did require small adjustment, but overall should be ok [08:07] I have to go sleep, past 10am and gonna waste the rest of my day. [08:07] can anyone reccomend a program to write to ext3 from xp? [08:07] My friend is using the Ubuntu install disk as a live cd to fix an other install, what is the default root password in it [08:08] julz: google for "ext2ifs" [08:08] julz: ext3ifs [08:08] so that he can use the terminal... [08:08] if you googled julz it's the first one on the list [08:08] !root | obnauticus [08:08] obnauticus: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [08:08] hey guys, I need a little help with Wifi, I've got a pretty specific need that shouldn't be too hard but my google-fu is only pulling up how to's that go way above my needs. need to turn my laptop into a quick and dirty Access point with out encryption. Any ideas? [08:08] obnauticus: there is none, sudo -i will get you to a root shel [08:08] no god damn [08:08] k [08:09] HardDisk & maddash : thanks :) is there a major difference between ext2 and 3? or are they they same for general use? [08:09] julz: primary difference is that ext3 has a journal [08:09] in general they are the same, except for ext3 journaling [08:09] julz: and some other improvements [08:09] correct. [08:09] HardDisk: and what does that mean, this "journaling"? [08:09] hi [08:09] in lamens term, indexing. [08:09] ext3 - a little slower due to journaling but ok to use if your system isn't a 486 or 586 [08:09] csguy318: journaling is sortof for diagnostics if compy crashes, right? [08:09] HardDisk: no [08:10] HardDisk: tick tock tick tock...fail. [08:10] well sort off [08:10] HardDisk: it doesnt work i can not login to kde desktop [08:10] parrot. [08:10] Cubexombi http://hostap.epitest.fi/ [08:10] julz: basically a journal logs any file system writes, if the partition is not cleanly dismounted for some reason [08:10] yahoo354, ?? [08:10] scguy318: pass. [08:10] julz: on next mount, the ext3 driver will replay the journal and put the filesystem into a consistant state [08:10] maddash, http://olstrans.sourceforge.net/release/OLS2000-ext3/OLS2000-ext3.html [08:10] whoa. [08:10] scguy318, yea like indexing [08:11] HardDisk: not like indexing at all actually [08:11] ompaul: thanks, but I was quizzing HardDisk. heh. [08:11] HardDisk: since the goal of indexing is to speed searches [08:11] how can i copy files from a vista laptop to an ubuntu laptop with wifi? (step by step) [08:11] HardDisk: the goal of the journal is to ensure that a file system will not become inconsistant [08:11] ompaul: holy crap, an mp3, too [08:11] HardDisk: i mean how could i install kde and how could i login to it computer... give me a code and i do it but nothing happen even ireset my system and in session it is just gnome [08:11] ive already made an adhoc network with vista.. [08:11] naxa: use aim, lol [08:11] scguy318, fair enough. [08:11] yahoo354: at the login screen, Options -> Sessions [08:12] ciphercast: lol, what is aim [08:12] naxa: AIM = AOL Instant Messaging [08:12] naxa: is it windows xp pro? [08:12] naxa: very popular IM network [08:12] scguy318: nothing just gnome tell me the code again please then i will do it again [08:12] thanks .. reading... [08:12] yahoo354: at the login screen, Options -> Sessions, then select KDE [08:12] ciphercast: it it's win. vista... ultimate [08:12] by default your gnome is in use. [08:12] as sc said, just select kde [08:12] "EXT2 filesystems are getting really rather big...they take a long time to fsck. I mean, really." [08:12] scguy318: i see but i don't have aim [08:13] hm, this isn't #-offtopic [08:13] no it isn't [08:13] maddash, correct [08:13] ciphercast: the problem is that i cannot connect to the ad hoc network made with vista from ubuntu maybe becouse i didnt set ubuntu to adhoc [08:13] and over there they were doing the same stuff here [08:13] maddash: thus why ext3 was created [08:13] HardDisk: i try to install it from synpatic [08:13] anyone go through www.usbgear.com website? they have some cheap usb 2.0 switches, compared to the overpriced stuff from newegg [08:13] scguy318: I was being cheeky. Hint: s/s/u/ [08:13] yahoo354, you did sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop right? [08:13] !offtopic | flake [08:13] flake: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:13] Does anyone know of an easy way to keep a log file from getting too big? [08:14] it's a legit question, want to share keyboard with two puters [08:14] and mouse [08:14] HardDisk: yes but after while working when it finish i logout and there is no kde in session [08:14] gogzmer, you do a syslog style rotation and bzips [08:14] flake: I haven't gone there [08:14] flake, and this is not #hardware so it is offtopic [08:14] flake, yea they're called kvm's [08:14] HardDisk: and now i just try to install it from synaptic [08:15] ompaul: Assuming I can only configure a program where to log to(apache in this case, with a log for each virtual host), how can I control it? [08:15] gnome-help starts every time I start gnome, how do I disable it? [08:15] LOL [08:15] gogzmer, apache does its own log compression [08:15] ok, I'm not concentrating..really need sleep. [08:16] lkthomas, ? [08:16] -o +bb :) [08:16] very often see that on efnet :) [08:16] I'll be back after i had some zzz's. [08:16] gnome-help starts every time I start gnome, how do I disable it? [08:16] ompaul: Ok, great. THanks [08:16] lkthomas, the good life :) [08:16] heh :) [08:17] mario: I am not sure...but repeating your question will not get a faster answer [08:17] Hi. By default in Ubuntu 7.10 or any version I guess, when you right click on an archive you should have an option to 'Extract here' right? [08:17] mario, is it in your session setup? [08:17] cabrioleur, no I don't think so [08:17] mario: did you check? [08:17] TigranG: I have that option I think, yes [08:17] cabrioleur, please tell me how to notice that [08:18] mario: check your System -> Prefs -> Sessions perhaps [08:18] trackerd has had my CPU pegged for hours... How can I disable it? [08:18] mario: and check if you see gnome-help in start-up's [08:19] scguy318: Yea, see the thing is I patched eel and nautilus to have different wallpapers on each side of the cube, and that went away. So, right now I installed the original libeel and nautilus but I still don't have that. What can I do [08:19] kaje: kill [08:19] kaje: :) [08:19] that didn't work [08:19] kaje: System -> Prefs -> Indexing Prefs [08:19] cabrioleur, no it is not [08:19] TigranG: I'm not sure unfortunately [08:19] I knew someone had a more elgant solution [08:19] In what directory does Ubuntu automatically mount drives ? [08:19] mario: go to the second tab and find it up there if you can. [08:19] obnauticus: /media [08:20] thanks [08:20] scguy318: Alright, maybe someone else can help. [08:20] hey guys, need to turn my laptop into a quick and dirty Access point with out encryption. Any ideas? I've been reading but not finding any answers. [08:20] scguy318: I still don't get it. Why we invented a new directory when /mnt was serving fine... [08:20] Ya [08:20] Cubexombi: What do you need to connect to it with? [08:20] hey how can I make Amarok my default audio player instead of Rhytmbox? Everytime I click on a internet radio link in a website Firefox tries to open it with Rhytmbox.. I want it to use something else [08:21] cabrioleur, no is not there either, i think it's due to the fact that i closed it [08:21] hi there [08:21] well, mnt wasnt obvious enough :) [08:21] Cubexombi, you want to check out adhoc networking [08:21] a DS, I'm stuck in my cubicle, [08:21] ln -s /mnt /media :) or am i backwards? [08:21] where is the emerald theme file located? any tips are welcome [08:21] how do i reformat an ntfs drive to ext3? i can't mount the ntfs drve throuhg :S [08:21] mario: now, check the last tab and tell if the autosave is marked [08:22] scguy318: Hmm. One question if you happen to know the answer, what does the file-roller package do. Does it have anything to do with is? [08:22] ompaul: thx, readin more... [08:22] this* [08:22] cabrioleur, no it is not chacked [08:22] julz gparted livecd? [08:22] Cubexombi, try this - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=94506&page=4 [08:22] hmm, I still cannot get myt dvd to playback! I even deleted everything on my system and installed the 32 bit version of Ubuntu instead of the 64 bit version [08:22] julz, you dont format a mounted filesystem. Delete the partition, recreate it as ext3, then format it. [08:22] sleep.sh will print in the terminal to the left of most output lines plus signs. I presume these plus signs indicate some level of program nesting. Where are these plus signs explained in man bash? (Difficult to find for me.) [08:22] julz: mke2fs with appropriate option i think its -j [08:22] I disabled the indexing and watching and my CPU is still pegged... [08:22] where is the emerald theme file located? any tips are welcome [08:22] ubuntu really needs to solve this.....just like Dell has taken the initiative to do [08:23] keithclark: libdvdcss2? [08:23] unimatrix9: Try the ##compiz-fusion chat...they will know more [08:23] !medibuntu | keithclark [08:23] oke i will thanx [08:23] kaje: hmm, then manually terminate the offending process [08:23] keithclark: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [08:23] scguy318, I went through all of that [08:23] Okay Ubuntu automounted the ntfs partition as a read only filesystem, how do I change it so i can r/w ? [08:23] thanks you 3, but i really need more help.. redd0t, do i just type that and the drive name in terminal? [08:23] keithclark: ok, could you explain what you have done up to this point? [08:24] obnauticus: Unmount, and re-mount with the settings as you want them [08:24] keithclark: ensure that you have libdvdcss2 if you're trying to playback a CSS-protected DVD, and try mplayer/VLC [08:24] you will need to recreate the partition [08:24] there is no one in compiz-fusion that answers .. [08:24] where is the emerald theme file located? any tips are welcome [08:24] cabrioleur, what do you think about it? how could I track down that? [08:24] i guess no one here knows? [08:24] jeez... I had to sudo kill -9 to get rid of the damn thing [08:24] unimatrix9: what do you mean the theme file? [08:25] yes where the themes are stored [08:25] so i can get them to my new machine.. [08:25] :) [08:25] compiz can save its settings in 3 different ways i think. check the ccsm tool. [08:25] unimatrix9: randomly guessing...~/.emerald? :P [08:25] redd0t, do you have time to baby step me through it? [08:25] but not sure about emerald itself. :) [08:25] hmm, i will check , thank you very much [08:26] julz: yeah, i can do that [08:26] scguy318,sorry for not being pumped on the solutions or response here. I've tried so many solutions that I forget what I've done. [08:26] true , there they are.. [08:26] julz: first open up a terminal [08:26] cabrioleur. ? [08:26] mario, it's something stupid probably. close everything and open Session window. Click on the last tab and click on Save currently running apps. [08:26] relief! [08:27] cabrioleur, i tried that already but did not help, any other idea? [08:27] redd0t, yep, thank for this [08:27] keithclark: alright, what player are you using right now? [08:27] unimatrix9, theres detailed UBuntu themeing guide at tuxenclave.wordpress.com if you want . [08:27] keithclark: if you try to play the DVD, what happens? [08:27] Sure, is it laptop? [08:27] julz: then do you know what the mount point is for the ntfs drive? [08:27] scguy318, the default player comes up saying that I need a driver [08:27] cabrioleur, yes it is [08:28] keithclark: is it the dialog asking to install a codec? [08:28] mario: is you touchpad disabled and usb mouse connected? [08:28] yes [08:28] have an nice day! [08:28] keithclark: well, have you installed all the codecs you can? :) [08:28] Hi... i finally got my DVB remote control to work by patching the v4l-dvb code... how can I ensure this will survive future Ubuntu updates? [08:28] redd0t, not sure, it's called "Music" i think it comes under "media" if that's what you're asking [08:28] cabrioleur, I have a usb mouse but the touchpad is not disabled [08:28] scguy318 but it never finds it [08:28] I don't have an 'Extract here' option in my right-click menu. Can anyone help me? [08:28] keithclark: alright, if you go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources [08:29] cabrioleur, do you think is something related to the usb mouse? [08:29] keithclark: make sure that all repositories are checked [08:29] ok [08:29] scguy318 ok [08:29] julz: okay, is this a SATA drive? and if so which channel is it hooked up to [08:29] i'm trying to load up the gOS live cd, but the cd keeps spinning hard and wont let me do barely anything. is there a way to install gOS straight from the grub menu, or from the command line? [08:29] hey er... i have this error.. causing lockups. ata1: slow to response / soft resetting port. [08:29] what can i do? [08:29] HardDisk: when i install and try to login it says :could not start kstartconfig. check your installation [08:29] redd0t, it is an ecternal hdd via usb [08:29] umm .. that was odd.. looks like little lappy here didn't like going into ad-hoc .. it just locked up. had to [ull the battery [08:29] mario: no, but go to ~/.config/autostart [08:30] Anyone in here know how I would connect to an AFP share in ubuntu? I googled, but can't find anything besides how to setup an AFP server. [08:30] cabiroleur, there is not sucha a file [08:30] Also having trouble with my USB keyboard not always working in 7.10 [08:31] mario: it should be a directory, but it's better this way. [08:31] guys, anyone using backuppc ? [08:31] HardDisk: as well as while i have login into gnome it every application for kde is run in gnome it is complitly crazy [08:31] scguy318 and I should do what now? [08:31] HardDisk: what shall i do [08:31] julz: is this a flash drive [08:31] yahoo354: I believe he went to bed [08:31] keithclark: ensure that all repositories are checked [08:32] scguy318 yes [08:32] How do I go about making my headphone jack work? The speakers work fine [08:32] julz: how many SATA devices and USB Drives do you have? [08:32] redd0t, no, it is a hdd. [08:32] gogzmer: ok thanks could you please help me with kde installation [08:32] scguy318 nothing happening yet [08:32] keithclark: open up a Terminal and do sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras [08:32] someone help me? [08:33] keithclark: well, just do sudo aptitude update [08:33] yahoo354: Sorry, I am not versed in kde installs [08:33] gogzmer: ok thanks a lot i do it later [08:33] scguy318 why is this so hard? I read that this is the biggest fault with Ubuntu [08:33] julz: what i am attempting to do right now is figure out your device path. this is a file on the computer that represents the device which is your hard drive. an example is /dev/hda1 hda means the first drive,1 means the first partition [08:33] chickenafterdark, having grub point to a CD when the machine can't read the CD is pointless, perhaps do md5sum on the image on the harddrive and if you have the cpu cycles / ram etc run it using qemu [08:33] is there a way that .tar.bz2 can be converted to .deb [08:33] is there a desktop sharing application for linux? [08:33] yahoo354: About all I know how to do would be to burn a kubuntu instal CD, and install from that, or if not that, then instal the server, and apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [08:34] keithclark: because codecs and libdvdcss2 are illegal to use/distribute in some jurisdictions [08:34] keithclark: *some [08:34] cabrioleur, I can see ~/.config/ but no autostart [08:34] is there a way that .tar.bz2 can be converted to .deb [08:34] redd0t: i have an old motherboard so no SATA devices. [08:34] is there a way that .tar.bz2 can be converted to .deb [08:34] I have build-essentials installed what else keeps me from using make? [08:34] scguy318 The last time I did an update I had to reformat my hard drive and re install Ubuntu [08:34] keithclark: and some codecs require payment of a royalty [08:34] ok [08:34] keithclark: :( [08:34] thanks a lot [08:34] cabrioleur, do you mean i should create that folder [08:34] is there a way that .tar.bz2 can be converted to .deb [08:34] !checkinstall | raniel [08:34] raniel: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [08:35] scguy318 I have been at this for 5 hours now. Just to get Ubuntu to boot up correctly [08:35] julz: so for usb the device would sdb, then the partition is the number of the partition on the drive, right now, in the terminal, you need to unmount the drive [08:35] scguy318 and that is not even Compiz yet! [08:35] keithclark: you should try a different player if you'd like [08:35] thanks uboto [08:35] scguy318 I tried them all. [08:35] anyone can help me with system lockups ? problem lies with ata1: soft resetting port [08:35] what was the command to disable read only? [08:35] scguy318 pclinux just worked out of the box with no issues [08:36] redd0t: well at the moment it is not mounted at all, it doesnt want to mount which is why i want to convert to ext3. [08:36] linux application for desktop sharing? [08:36] keithclark: ok, have you installed libdvdcss2? [08:36] DP: Like remote desktop? [08:36] keithclark: I know for a fact that PCLinux would run into the same codec issue :P [08:36] no, like application sharing for troubleshooting [08:36] julz: okay. then you should execute fdisk /dev/sda [08:37] scguy318 it must take care of it by default then! [08:37] cabrioleur, I know this is nothing really important, but i wanna fix this really bad it's kind of an obsession [08:37] DP: I don't get what you need :S [08:37] what was the command to disable read only permission? [08:37] chmod -r filename [08:37] keithclark: ok, but have you installed libdvdcss2? [08:37] scguy318, add/remove programs does not find it [08:38] julz: sda should be the first hard disk connected by usb [08:38] keithclark: because Add/Remove only does a subset of the available packages in the Ubuntu repositories [08:38] remote help I believe [08:38] redd0t: it said "unable to open /dev/sda" [08:38] keithclark: Synaptic or a CLI APT frontend lets you work with other packages besides those that Add/Remove shows you, anyway [08:38] keithclark: please do sudo aptitude install libdvdcss2 [08:38] julz: can you run lsusb and show me what you see [08:38] keithclark: and tell me what happens [08:38] !mediubuntu | keithclark [08:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about mediubuntu - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:38] it's where a user in chat can help another person by controlling the mouse and keyboard [08:38] Hey. I've lost the "Extract here" function. I'm pretty sure it has to do with file-roller. I've previously patched nautilus and libeel but I've restored them to original. Is there anything I can do, please? [08:38] * ompaul shoots ubotu in the mouse [08:39] ompaul: I believe he said he already added Medibuntu to his sources, but I could be mistaken [08:39] DP:...lol, sorta like remote desktop [08:39] How can I make my headphones work? [08:39] no, remote desktop is for logins. [08:39] Jadd78: plug em in [08:39] redd0t: what is the flood page? [08:39] scguy318 ok [08:39] I am talking about msn messenger's help function [08:39] julz: flood page? [08:39] scguy318, hmm perhaps but there is an easier way [08:40] julz: try running fdisk /dev/sdb [08:40] keithclark, this tells you everything you want to know about these codecs - follow it and you can't go wrong: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [08:40] redd0t: for a large post. i'll just do it here [08:40] Anubis [08:40] ompaul: easier way for what? [08:40] redd0t: julz@julz-desktop:~$ lsusb [08:40] Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 [08:40] another example is webex. [08:40] Bus 004 Device 002: ID 067b:2507 Prolific Technology, Inc.

[08:42] kaje: on Ubuntu Gutsy? [08:42] ompaul, the cd works. i just used it on another computer and it runs fine. its just that this computer is incredibly old. is there a way to boot to the command line from grub? [08:43] kaje: right click on desktop -> change destop background ->visual effects (tab) [08:43] Kaja, then go all the way to the right, and set to normal [08:43] scguy318, it still asks me for a codec upon inserting a DVD [08:43] Thanks guys!

[08:43] chickenafterdark, you seem to be missing the point - it won't be faster it will be the same process so it is a total waste [08:43] Actually wouldnt you set it to none? to disable compiz [08:43] scguy318, I have no idea what you are asking me to do here. [08:43] julz: can you try to run fdisk /dev/sdb [08:43] keithclark: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [08:43] Cubexombi, you need to be able to work your wireless card before you make it adhoc [08:44] Learning-Ubuntu: yes none = no efects [08:44] keithclark: do in Terminal gedit /etc/apt/sources.list, copy the contents of the file into Pastebin, and give me the link [08:44] none = no compiz [08:44] none = metacity ;) [08:44] keithclark: I just want to check if your sources are a-ok [08:44] my wifi card is installed, drivers work and whatnot, I've used it for wifi at home.. however .. it's nearly 4am and I'm stuck in my cubicle and all I want to do is turn my laptop into a quick and dirty access point for my DS [08:44] so i'm thinking about switching from kde to ubuntu. what's a good replacement for kontact? [08:44] but you can have both metacity and compiz [08:44] kde is not good [08:44] Yea, but if compiz is off, its metacity running [08:44] Jadd76: sry. the channel has been really active. i forgot what i was helping you with [08:44] hello [08:44] remming: kde > you [08:45] my cpu is too high [08:45] true [08:45] remming: well ditto for GNOME :P [08:45] i have a little problem with mysql when i try to stopit with "service mysql stop" it says * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld [fail] any ideas whats wrong ? [08:45] Cubexombi, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc [08:45] ompaul, so there is no way to install completely from command line? [08:45] but metacity only handles windows borders, it's not a compiz replacement [08:45] hey Jadd76, maybe you can help, I'm missing the "Extract here" option when I right click on an archive. Any suggestions? [08:45] Ohh I'm reading but that doc's more for joining an adhoc not hosting it [08:45] My fellow LUG member gets this output: http://pastebin.com/d505cefbf when he tries to apt-get upgrade. Google doesn't turn up any hits for the important sounding parts of the error message. What's going on here? [08:45] scguy318, ok, digesting and implementing [08:45] chickenafterdark, there may be but that o/s would need to support that [08:46] ompaul, ok fair enough [08:46] i do not why ,but if i use the kde application ,my cpu become a hotdog [08:46] thanks [08:46] TigranG: I don't know, try completely removing file roller and then reinstalling it [08:46] Cubexombi, that is what an adhoc is - you make your machine talk to an AP and allow connections to your machine [08:46] Jadd76: I have =/ [08:46] Jadd76: I guess it won;t hurt to try again. And maybe a reboot this time too. [08:46] Tried rebooting? [08:46] julz: are you still here [08:47] Jadd76: No. Gonna try now. [08:47] I'm looking more into making my machine the AP, [08:47] Jadd76: Brb. [08:47] At least logging in and logging out to give nautilus a chance [08:47] as is I'm using a wired connection and would like to bridge it. [08:47] if that makes sence [08:48] keithclark: paste the pastebin link when done [08:48] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49265/ [08:48] what are gnome equivalents to kontact? [08:48] scguy318, is that it? [08:48] great now it looks like i'm talking to myself here.. [08:48] keithclark: yes [08:49] sleep.sh will print in the terminal to the left of most output lines plus signs. I presume these plus signs indicate some level of program nesting. Where are these plus signs explained in man bash? (Difficult to find for me.) [08:49] keithclark: if you do ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [08:49] keithclark: is a file listed? [08:49] scguy318, thanks for you patience here.....and excuse my frustration from time to time [08:49] keithclark: no problem [08:50] Anyone else have trouble installing the new nVidia driver (169.07)? I tried it, couldn't start X, and now I can't even go back to the previous version. [08:51] well im going to go get some sleep i guess [08:51] EnderTheThird: did you remove Ubuntu's restricted-modules before ? [08:51] HymnToLife: no. I tried doing the Restricted Drivers setup to reinstall the default version from repo's and no luck either. [08:52] keithclark, that's not your problem here, but if i were you, i rebuilt your sources.list with. manually or with http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/. Then, you'll will add some packages. [08:52] scguy318, please remember that this is a fresh, new installation [08:52] /dev/sda1 on /media/disk type ntfs (rw) <-- Why is it read-only [08:52] keithclark: and you haven't added any repositories like Medibuntu? [08:52] I mounted it with the rw option [08:52] and it's still saying it's read only. [08:52] HymnToLife: should I uninstall restricted-modules and try reinstalling? Or isn't there a way to blacklist the nvidia driver provided by restricted modules? [08:52] scguy318, nope, new hard drive format and install like 10 minutes before I got on chat [08:52] EnderTheThird: are you ok with removing the restricted-modules, or do you need them for something else (e.g. wifi) ? [08:53] bullgard4: try man bash | grep "+" [08:53] keithclark: ahhh, ok [08:53] keithclark: please do [08:53] HymnToLife: I shouldn't need it for anything. [08:53] Jadd76: Nope, still not there. [08:53] Anyone? [08:53] keithclark: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [08:53] TigranG: bah [08:53] so just : sudo apt-get remove --purge linux-restricted-modules* [08:53] keithclark: then wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update [08:53] also sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-glx* [08:53] just to be sure [08:53] scguy318, I'm just so disappointed here....it should easier! [08:53] scguy318: no no no. Don't use sources.list.d, append it to sources.list [08:54] then reboot, reinstall your nvidia drivers [08:54] Flannel: that's what the Medibuntu guide has...k [08:54] and do modprobe --show-depends nvidia [08:54] ok, all, I think I'll hold on the DVD stuff [08:54] I just blacklisted nvidia from the restricted modules instead. That should work, wouldn't you think? [08:54] scguy318: Really? They mustve changed recently again. sources.list.d creates a lot of problems for debugging, because all of the sources.list stuff isn't in one place. [08:54] Hello, most usb mass storage devices don't work on ubuntu, but on other distributions. i get following messages (lots of) in /var/log/messageusb 4-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address ... what could i do ??? (test it with several devices) [08:54] If not, I'll try your advice. Be back in a few minutes, hopefully with Compiz Fusion back up. :-/ [08:54] Jadd76: I un-installed nautilus and libeel, downloaded the source, applied the patch, built it and installed it. Now what I did was just go to Synaptic Package Manager and install nautilus and libeel. Was this right? Would this over-write the patched versions already installed? [08:54] EnderTheThird: it should, but many people have reported it to not work [08:54] Flannel: yep, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [08:55] Thanks [08:55] which app starts ~/.gnome2 [08:55] Flannel: I wouldn't have thought it was bad because the WineHQ guide for adding the Wine repo suggests something similar [08:55] which app starts ~/.gnome2??? [08:55] keithclark: alrighty, take your time, we're not in a rush here :) [08:55] mario: damn be patient [08:55] scguy318: Thats too bad. The medibuntu instructions didn't used to say that. Looks like I'll have to file another bug report [08:55] i prefer sources.list.d to [08:56] easier to handle [08:56] TigranG: I think it would overwrite the patched versions [08:56] scguy318...no worries, I'll reformat to pclinuxos....it worked out of the box for dvd [08:56] Jadd76: err. Whats the problem then. [08:56] keithclark: use whatever makes you happy [08:56] scguy318, maybe the next version will solve this problem.......Dell seems to be addressing it as well. [08:56] mavi-: Not for debugging. When people don't know what theyre doing, have stuff wonky, and then we ask for a paste (and dont have any idea they have .d stuff) it gets stupid. [08:56] hi... I am trying to set up slimserver to stream my music across my home LAN, and it is up an running, but I get no sound when playing on the built in webbrowser player - anyone can help? [08:56] did you completely remove, or just remove stuff? [08:57] keithclark: yes, its the legal blah :P [08:57] Jadd76: I checked completely remove [08:57] keithclark: I guess enjoy whatever distro you want to use :) [08:57] TigranG: I don't know then [08:57] scguy318, I love what I see otherwise.....wireless with broadcom done well......ATI done well. [08:57] scguy318 just dvd to go! [08:58] hi guys, anyone can help me with yelp starting every time????? [08:58] Jadd76: Alright, thanks for trying. [08:58] keithclark: the MAFIAA shares a bit of blame for your troubles :P [08:58] scguy318...and the 3 minute bootup as well. I forgot about that one. pclose is like 45 seconds [08:59] * TigranG If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style. [08:59] gogzmer: I have done that before I posted here. No result found. Tell what else will lead me to an explanation. [08:59] HELP with yelp [08:59] try fiddling with nautilus-actions [08:59] HymnToLife: bad news-i've tried quite a few things, but I still haven't been able to fix this bash issue [08:59] keithclark: That is dependent on hardware, and can be tuned a great deal [08:59] scguy318...no blame to Ubuntu at all from here! [08:59] HymnToLife: Too many apps depend on restricted so I couldn't remove, and blacklisting didn't help. The driver isn't even listed when I go to Screens & Graphics. [09:00] ls /home -al [09:00] HymnToLife: I try apt-get install --reinstall bash [09:00] speakingof the mafia [09:00] Sorry, gogzmer, just looking for something to work out of the box. Not a big issue. [09:00] i just beat the simpsons game on the wii [09:00] keithclark: anyway, I'm kinda sick and need to sleep, night [09:00] Jadd76: Installing it now [09:00] but it fails with exec format error [09:00] anyone very good in network connection ? [09:00] Jadd76: Should it have already been installed? [09:00] keithclark: good luck with PCLinux [09:00] Milotin: what's the q? [09:00] Milotin: What's up [09:00] scguy318, thanks for your attempt. I appreciate it! [09:00] TigranG: no [09:01] Jadd76: k [09:01] i don`t know why my connection from ubuntu doesn`t work [09:01] theres a part towards the last few levels where they end up in like a movie theater..and homer says "wooowww..this looks like one of those places people used to go to see movies before video piracy was invented! [09:01] Milotin: ok...what version/flavor? [09:01] it seems it`s connected , up ... i can ping everywhere and get reply but i can`t connect anywhere [09:01] Ubuntu 7.10 [09:01] can anyone tell me how can i maintain anonymity over the internet when i am behind a firewall and a proxy that requires authentication [09:01] anyone know of a good guide for installing mythtv on ubuntu without a desktop? [09:01] After using nautilus-actions you'll need to restart nautilus using: nautilus -q [09:01] can you ping hostnames? [09:02] electro_: use Tor through the proxy, perhaps [09:02] yes [09:02] And gogzmer, I'm running very common hardware here. [09:02] Milotin: What is assigning your IP, a router, or a modem? [09:02] i can ping google.com [09:02] and the dns ip of it as well [09:02] can`t tell... [09:02] i`ve got a network board ... [09:03] the connection is fiberlink [09:03] ok [09:03] can i ask you join on milotin ( channel ) so we could understand each other better ? [09:03] WHY DOES GNOME-HELP STARTS VERY TIME???????????????????????????? [09:03] scguy318:i can't for that i need to give localhost:port on my computer as proxy but since i need to give the proxy of my ISP to connect to the net [09:03] mario: open your session manager and see if its in there [09:03] TigranG: you know, you could try making a new user. That would give nautilus the default configuration, wouldn't it? [09:03] !caps | mario [09:03] mavi-, no is not [09:04] Milotin: run iptables -L [09:04] it`s kindah hard for me to follow everything as long as i`m at work and i might need to work too in the same time [09:04] mario: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [09:04] mavi-, is something else [09:04] Jadd76: I was thinking about that. But gonna try messing around with it first before I do that. [09:04] electro_: you can edit your torrc to have it connect through an HTTP proxy [09:04] electro_: but I need to nap now, sorry [09:04] mavi-: maybe your F1 key is stuck on your keyboard lol [09:05] TigranG: you did get my nautilus -q message? nautilus-actions-config won't work without that [09:05] Jadd76: No. [09:05] TigranG: you'll need to run nautilus -q from a terminal to make nautilus restart and accept the nautilus-actions changes [09:06] Jadd76: I just ran it, and my desktop icons disappeared [09:06] TigranG: now run nautilus [09:07] Jadd76: K [09:07] when I'm trying to mount my ntfs partition, I'm getting "Failed to load $MFT : Input/output error" - How do I repair the partition? [09:07] i have a problem with yelp, help please [09:08] giggsey: chkdsk on Windows [09:08] hola, I've been trying to install fglrx no luck, going back has been tricky. Anyway, i'm missing my launcher bar (top of the screen, with Applications, Places, etc, date) and my bottom of the screen "taskbar" [09:08] how do I restore them? [09:08] Jadd76: I don;t think that worked. But anyways, I'm just going to try re-installing one more time then making a new user. [09:08] scguy318, I can't boot windows to run it [09:08] TigranG: if that doesn't work, ctrl-c the nautilus, enter pkill nautilus, and then run nautilus [09:09] I did it just now [09:09] giggsey: do it from a Recovery Console or a Windows LiveCD (yes those exist) [09:09] Okay [09:09] Jadd76: Alright. Thanks. I'm gonna go, its 1 AM here, good night, bye [09:09] Good night! [09:10] giggsey: is the message you showed me the only thing it said? [09:10] how do I edit /boot/menu.lst? [09:10] scguy318, http://pastebin.com/m34c149b3 [09:11] DP, you mean GRUB? [09:11] yeah [09:11] DP, what do you want to achieve? [09:11] giggsey: is the drive any sort of SoftRAID or the like? [09:11] nope [09:11] I want to set windows xp to boot by default [09:12] giggsey: yeah, then I would run chkdsk /f on Windows [09:12] DP, probably sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [09:12] giggsey: I would also take the opportunity to backup data from the NTFS part if you can, just in case [09:12] great thanks. [09:12] I can't at the moment, can't get anything from it [09:13] DP, count the number of operating systems appearing in the menu , the first is 0 ,if there is a separator -count it as well [09:13] thanks dudes [09:13] scguy318.....get some sleep! [09:13] for taking out the ban [09:13] giggsey: well when the drive is readable again that is :) [09:13] keithclark: you're right [09:13] anyone have ShroudBNC download URL? [09:13] scguy318....btw, pclos worked again....I have no idea why. [09:14] keithclark: cool [09:14] scguy318, would the fact that I had vista on it effect a windows livecd? [09:14] scguy318....but, get to bed regardless! [09:14] giggsey: no [09:14] good, thanks [09:14] keithclark: alright in a sec :P [09:14] giggsey, theres a windows live CD? [09:14] itai: oh yes there are, BartPE, and stuff like that [09:14] itai: you have to create from an existing install or find on a P2P network [09:15] but yeah night all [09:15] giggsey: g/l with your issue [09:15] scguy318, like knoppix? [09:15] anyone know what would cause slight audio lag of video when playing back DVDs? [09:15] itai: yeah, sorta [09:15] scguy318, thanks :) [09:15] scguy318, good evening and get well.....later [09:15] night cya thanks [09:16] also picture quality seems a bit odd - like the each frame has been oversharppened or such [09:16] using vlc right now - which is the same player as i used on windows [09:16] hello, all. I am having a problem with wine, everytime I try to open two different wine applications, one minimizes. How do I fix this? [09:17] anyone: how do you uninstall eclipse sofware [09:17] !night [09:17] It's the middle of the night in the US and Europe, and surrounds. This means that a lot of people are likely asleep, therefore there are less potential people who can answer your question. Please be patient, and consider asking at a time when more people will be awake. This is particularly true in the quieter channels. [09:17] LetterRip, does vlc playback commercial dvds? [09:17] software [09:18] keithclark yes [09:18] HELLO! i have installed ubuntu ultimate 1.6 (gutsy 7.10) and i have long time to boot (approximately 7 minutes). Does anyone Knows what to do??? [09:18] !nvidia [09:18] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [09:18] if the additional support software is installed [09:18] oldboy, thats very long, what are your spces? [09:19] sleep.sh will print in the terminal to the left of most output lines plus signs. I presume these plus signs indicate some level of program nesting. Where are these plus signs explained in man bash? (Difficult to find for me.) [09:19] !ntfs3g [09:19] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [09:19] anyone knows how to uninstall a eclipse client [09:19] !nvidia [09:19] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [09:20] 8G home 8G root and 1G swap === ubuntu_ is now known as setianto [09:20] steve_: That depends on how you installed it [09:20] oldboy, i mean cpu,memory [09:20] !guilty [09:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about guilty - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:20] LetterRip I need a piece of software that will go out and get what it needs to playback dvds. I also need a laptop keyboard driver that will not radomly move my cursor to some already typed in message. [09:20] heheh [09:20] keithclark search for dvd linux [09:20] 2G memory and 2Ghz cpu [09:20] or dvd ubuntu [09:21] one core [09:21] LetterRip, I've tried all the easy stuff [09:21] oldboy, i suspect something is wrong , is ubuntu fast after it boots? [09:21] itai: it should be, yes [09:21] itai: at least on a relatively capable system.. [09:22] itai, when ubuntu starts everything works perfect [09:22] pjeide, ...no..i was asking oldboy... [09:22] keithclark, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#How_To_Add_DVD_Playback_Capability [09:22] nifty [09:22] LetterRip...if I had unusual hardware I could see it. Ihave an off the shelf Compaq R4000 bought at Futureshop [09:23] LetterRip, I tried all the wiki stuff [09:23] 64 bit, 32 bit [09:23] keithclark, sorry no idea than. I've only recently migrated myself [09:23] gnight all [09:23] oldboy: Ubuntu ultimate isn't supported here. It's an unofficial perversion of normal Ubuntu, where they add a whole bunch of extra junk. You might try installing the official Ubuntu, seeing if that helps. Also, long boot times sometimes are because of DHCP [09:23] I just don't get why PCLinuxOS works out of the box but Ubuntu fails. [09:23] i have a question, how do i find out which app is starting gnome-help at startup??? [09:23] oldboy, i have no idea about ubuntu ultimate, but what i would do is download BUM and start cancelling unnecessary stuff on boot. If you are more comfertable with Linux you can try running a programme called sysvconfig - but be very careful with it. ask here if you are not sure [09:24] where is the respositories list hidden? [09:24] /etc/.... [09:24] r3n0c: /etc/apt/sources.list [09:24] apt, lol damn [09:24] itai, thank you very much [09:25] Greetings. [09:25] `can somebody try to help me, i keep get stuck when i try to install or do anything [09:25] java keeps flipping out, [09:26] oldboy: check out bootchart, it'll give you a graphical chart depicting your boot process. But again, I urge you to dump the "Ultimate edition" and go with normal (and supported) Ubuntu. [09:26] even when i try to do sudo apt-get update or upgrade [09:26] it won't install and i don't know why [09:26] i tried to remove and re add it [09:26] but i coulnd't even remove it [09:26] Flannel: you are right. I am new linux user and i thought it would help me [09:27] oldboy, are you named after the korean movie? [09:27] itai, yes i liked the movie and kept the nickname [09:28] itai, did you see it? [09:28] itai, yes [09:28] oldboy, it left a strong impression on me [09:29] ok different question: anyboyd know how to encrypt network traffic, between say me, the client, and a host server(windows) [09:29] it is ftp traffic [09:29] itai, me too!! [09:29] the host is using filezilla [09:29] r3n0c: Use scp instead of ftp [09:29] oldboy, there are several restaurants serving live octupus near my house [09:29] scp? [09:29] !scp | r3n0c [09:29] r3n0c: SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [09:29] does anything have to be setup on the host machine? [09:29] r3n0c: scp : ftp :: ssh : telnet [09:30] If you have an ssh account on the host machine, usually you can scp already. [09:30] r3n0c, what are you trying in install and what errors are you getting? [09:30] itai, i'm seing if i can fix right now [09:30] ok so if i got rid of filezilla on the host, and used WinSCP [09:30] I am in need of an idea - I want to install Ubuntu onto my SATA HDD, but the last time I formatted it and installed a new OS, I seemingly was incapable of accessing my private data which is saved on my second (IDE) HDD. Don't ask for the reason - I don't know. It's just that I fear losing all my private data again and it's way too much to be backupped on DVDs. [09:30] itai :) [09:31] r3n0c: winSCP is a client, not a server. You'd need a SSH server. You might check if FZ server will do it. I know their client will now [09:31] Flannel, ok so if i just did scp hostname [09:31] itai, yesterday i ate cooked octupus [09:31] it would be encrypted traffic? [09:31] scp is encrypted, yes. just like ssh. [09:31] itai, and its better [09:32] hi iv been trying to install the nvidia drviers and its just not working for me [09:32] anyone know how to change the default background color of the login screen? when i login with GDM and the Gnome splash is displaying, there is the ugly default orange that I can't get rid of [09:32] i tired the sudo -i sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.07-pkg2.run but it said it cannot open this file [09:32] when i try to do scp user@host [09:32] oldboy, im sure it is...but the eating a live octopus added an interesting dimention to the movie... [09:32] it just spits back how to use scp at me [09:33] Tmo85: use the Restricted Drivers app [09:33] no net connection [09:33] help1 [09:33] help! [09:33] anquietas, did you lose all your data? === [InFeRnAl] is now known as ruif13 [09:33] I did, and it was hurtful, itai. I wish to ensure that my data is safe, when I format my SATA. [09:33] Hi, [09:34] unless i can use the restrected drivers in offline mode? [09:34] i problem with access on read & write to my windows hd's [09:34] anyone can help? [09:34] anquietas, if you are that concerned, just pull the IDE out when you install Ubuntu... [09:35] I fear that I can't access the files when I plug it out. Is there a commonly known issue with ReiserFS, as to data retrieval after connection modifications? [09:35] Tmo85: i had probs trying to install the NVIDIA driver the way you're doing it with Ubuntu - just wouldn't work for some reason. The only way I could get it going was with the Restricted Drivers app [09:35] anyone here that can help me? all the guides iv found online are just to use the restircted drivers app but i have no net connection so i cant [09:35] ok um i got to where i have a problem doing sudo apt-get update [09:35] ok [09:35] in that case [09:35] it tries to install java... and crashes horribly [09:35] i need to figure uot [09:36] how to set up my wifi usb dongle [09:36] can somebody check out the paste bin? [09:36] Thanks guys for your help!!See You! [09:36] oldboy, good luck [09:36] but i really need to get my grapchis working [09:36] i need to set up the zoom fucntion better so its easy for me to see [09:36] donogameel, maybe it is the "Background color" setting in the Login Window Preferences. Not sure about that though, this had to be edited by hand in gnome in earlier days. [09:36] r3n0c, which pastebin? [09:36] surely there is a way to install it offline mode [09:37] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49266/ [09:37] predaeus: nah i changed that but it's still orange so it must be something else [09:37] !wine [09:37] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [09:38] itai, any ideas? [09:38] Mhhh, any ideas? [09:38] Hehe.

What could cause it? [09:42] anquietas, sounds weird. Yes, maybe to be sure. [09:42] anquietas: how much data do you need to backup? [09:42] super_pippo, i triedd to install java a few days ago so that i could do, javac and java in terminal [09:42] eS|Cory` 43 GB [09:43] super_pippo, which works just fine now, but when i do apt-get update it keeps telling me that i neeed to get sun-java6-doc [09:43] i hate yelp! [09:43] anquietas I can let you back it up on my server if you want, for a few day's for free. [09:44] its located in chicago tho [09:44] but its on a 100MBIT pipe [09:44] super_pippo, check: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49266/ [09:45] Thanks, eS|Cory` That's a very kind offer. :) But I'll try to back it up first with another HDD. [09:45] r3n0c: is there a default root password? as there wasnt an option in the install for 7.10 to set it and i need it. [09:45] anquietas: not a problem just trying to save you money :P [09:45] and another prob. is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49267/ when treid to follow the install of ATI driver as on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto#head-8055f455b66a39399b91db278f9a12b91a5b123c [09:45] ok Jadd76 thanks for your help :( [09:45] eS|Cory`, what do you mean? [09:45] chraso: did you run the oem install? [09:46] Hehe. I guess I can manage to get an HDD for free for a few days and the data transfer would be significantly faster, eS|Cory`. =D [09:46] nope [09:46] and another problem with my install is my gtk(or whatever) applicationss looks like this http://61.1.54.201/Screenshot-2.png please help me solve this [09:46] ðóññêèå åñòü [09:46] ????

[09:50] Ok. Wish me... luck. :D Thanks for your help. Ciao ciao [09:51] join #regnum-fr [09:51] pitboul, no advertising here [09:51] hi guys i am using ubuntu 7.10 and pidgin , how can i encrypt messages there? [09:51] My camera does not mount when I plug it in by USB. My settings in System -> Preferences -> Removable drives and media are set to "Import digital photographs when connected". [09:53] wake up node [09:53] Newuserr, I only know that there is a plugin that only works if the other user also uses pidgin (at least with gaim it was like that, gaim has been renamed to pidgin) [09:54] chraso, you're missing your fonts [09:54] anybody know how to get scp to work? [09:54] !camera [09:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about camera - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:54] pradaeus: that is bad :( [09:54] the node is ignoring [09:54] or don't wanted to [09:54] r3n0c, what is happening? === desti_T2 is now known as desti [09:54] i just want to use it to connect to my ftp server, to have the traffic be encrypted [09:54] can anyone tell me what is missing or what the prob is with my sys? just look at this screen shot http://61.1.54.201/Screenshot-2.png [09:55] predaeus, but when i do scp hostname, it just tells me the syntax for scp [09:55] predaeus, do i have to install some other software? openssh? [09:55] as u can see there is no text in the xmms options dialog [09:55] r3n0c, you need to specify a filename to copy, either remote or local. [09:55] so i can't ftp to a server and look around first? [09:55] nickrud: ru reading? [09:56] predaeus, i thought it was just like a ssh ftp connection [09:56] ls [09:56] lol sry [09:56] r3n0c, like "scp myname@myhost:/home/myname/myfile ./mylocaldir/" or "scp ./mylocaldir/myfile myname@myhost...." [09:56] chraso, installing xmms , do you have any other gtk1 apps installed? [09:56] r3n0c, scp is for copying files over ssh. [09:56] chraso, and are they also missing fonts? [09:57] chraso: My browser can't connect to that server [09:57] r3n0c, you would login with ssh for that [09:57] predaeus, o so how would i go about amaking my ftp traffic secure [09:57] someobdy earlier said use scp [09:57] r3n0c: If using gnome, you can type ssh://server in Nautilus to browse the files [09:57] forgot how ugly gtk1 was [09:57] but it an ftp server [09:57] ok yes i have many [09:57] r3n0c, Nicke is right. The server would have to host an ssh service (daemon) for that to work. [09:58] pg: server is slow [09:58] yeah [09:58] chraso, is that the only one that's missing fonts? [09:58] r3n0c, you can use gnomeftp or maybe even nautilus to browse ftp too [09:58] but they are also looks same [09:58] anyone got any info on stop wine from minimizing when running two instances of wine? [09:58] i was just using ftp to connect [09:58] i was just wondering how to encrypt it [09:58] nope every [09:58] the host is using filezilla on a windows box [09:59] apps missis it [09:59] is there an easy way to setup ssl on it? [09:59] My camera does not mount when I plug it in by USB. My settings in System -> Preferences -> Removable drives and media are set to "Import digital photographs when connected". [09:59] r3n0c, I don't know, I think easiest would be to run an ssh server on it and use scp and ssh. [10:00] r3n0c, don't know how to on windows though. [10:00] o ok, so on the host i would have to have ssh setup [10:00] nickrud, every app like that misses font look at http://geocities.com/chraso/Screenshot.png [10:00] chraso, it's been a long time since I thought much about gtk1 ... [10:00] thats what i was thikning, i was confused about just using scp to ssh to the ftp server [10:00] lol [10:00] its 2 out now [10:00] r3n0c, yes, the server always has to provide the service. [10:00] argh i have to go to sleep soon, it is 5am [10:01] predaeus, ok, i guess either time to put linux on my windows box or to go find a ssh client [10:01] r3n0c [10:01] google for putty [10:01] r3n0c: The Filezilla client supports ssl, no idea about the server though [10:01] windows ssh client [10:01] :) [10:01] eS|Cory`, can you explain how to get putty to work tho? i have it, but i have no idea what to do with it [10:02] ok open it up [10:02] for hostname: put your ip that you want to connect to [10:02] then belong that you will see rlogin telent ssh ect [10:02] select ssh [10:02] eS|Cory`, the ftp server is on the windows box.... with putty [10:02] i'm on a linux box [10:02] wait [10:02] Is there a tool which will rewrite the partition table to the disk by scanning the drive for the actual partitions? [10:02] !bbl [10:02] are you trying to ftp [10:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about bbl - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:02] ? [10:02] yeah, but i want to encrypt it [10:03] um [10:03] not sure [10:03] lol [10:03] lol ok [10:03] sorry [10:03] it's aite [10:03] my only guess would be download and install wine [10:03] then get smartftp or flashfxp [10:03] i am pretty sure that you are not able to put ftp traffic into ssh tunnels [10:03] it just doesn't work [10:03] How about scp? [10:03] both ftp clients that support uh ssl [10:04] lol o god this again. ok giggsey can you explain how to do, 1)host is filezilla on a windows box [10:04] Do you know any {WB} script to xchat? [10:04] giggsey, 2)i am on a linux box. 3) encrypt the ftp traffic [10:04] Ahh, fair point [10:04] giggsey, lol sorry, thanks tho [10:04] if you had an ssh server on the windows box, you could use ssh to download the files using rsync? [10:04] I just updated ubuntu and it somehow messed grub up. ls /boot doesn't return anything related to grub [10:05] r3n0c why the need to encrpyt the ftp traffic [10:05] ? [10:05] giggsey, try http://www.linux.com/base/ldp/howto/Partition/recovering.html but I just found this on the web, untested. [10:05] is there a version of module-init-tools that supports gzipped modules? [10:05] eS|Cory`, b/c the ftp can be accessed from anywhere, along with my vnc server [10:05] and if it gets a lot of use..... it just would be better [10:05] erase logs when done? [10:05] hi, i have a computer with no cdrom drive, and would like to install ubuntu from a usb stick, but can mainly find guides for installing _to_ a usb stick - is there an official guide to install _from_ one? [10:06] eS|Cory : for seurity reasons [10:06] eS|Cory : for security reasons [10:06] MasseR, sudo aptitude reinstall grub [10:06] eS|Cory : everything should be encrypted [10:06] lol Newuserr only reason i would encrpyt my ftp is if i was transfering proof of cencept programs [10:06] ok um random question, how do you copy directories to other places [10:07] !install | Ahri (maybe there is some info ther) [10:07] Ahri (maybe there is some info ther): Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [10:07] cp -R oldlocation newlocation [10:07] -R, argh! [10:07] chraso, I don't remember anything about gtk1 any more, sorry [10:07] nobody knows? [10:08] im about to install ubuntu over vista... can someone here help me with this? [10:08] no prob. [10:08] nickrud, no prob. at least u idenified the prob for me. so ur sure that the gtk [10:08] eS|Cory : everything should be encrypted for safety [10:08] yea [10:09] chraso, yes, it's somewhere in the gtk1 libraries, probably a missing font or font lib [10:09] @mongo1: have you got the ubuntu CD ? [10:09] amd64 alt cd yes [10:09] chraso, you should pick a more modern player, anyway. Nearly every gtk1 app has been replaced with a better gtk2 one, anyway [10:10] anyway works for me I guess [10:10] eS|Cory : not possible to configure ubuntu so that everything going out is encrypted? [10:10] borndeer, the hdd is 149gb... how much should i set for each? [10:10] not possible to configure ubuntu so that everything going out is encrypted? [10:10] anyone know how to put colors on the message i type on main [10:11] @mongo1: and what do you plan to do with ubuntu ? [10:11] chraso, I had this bug also from time to time, don't know what is causing it (had it with updates and then it was gone again). Maybe that installer supports a command line argument so taht you can select options on the command line. [10:11] well idk really i guess learn how to use it but i still want to have vista availble for stuff that can't be done in ubuntu... like my zune software and stuff [10:12] nope [10:12] My camera does not mount when I plug it in by USB. My settings in System -> Preferences -> Removable drives and media are set to "Import digital photographs when connected". [10:12] surely its not [10:12] mongol: windows is shit sorry but it is true would never use it again [10:12] @mongo1: now you've installed vista right ? [10:12] DEadPuNk: main what? [10:12] chraso, did you try "./installerproggyname --help"? [10:12] omg i fixed my java!!!! [10:12] WOOT! [10:12] borndeer: yes it just completed [10:13] mongo1, figure out how much you want to keep for windows first, then give around 12gb to root , 2xram up to 2gb for swap, and the rest to home [10:13] yep it says nothing [10:13] pg yes [10:14] peace out all, it is 5:15 am, time to pass out [10:14] nickrud, well what if i give 90gb to windows and 50gb to ubuntu? [10:14] i would like to use this color on main : test [10:14] Sorry no, my mistake, apparently it blew up my partitions somehow. Or rather the UUID [10:14] i would like it to be permanent [10:14] nickrud: that should leave roughly 9gb for swap [10:14] r3n0c: lol u said that already half an hour ago [10:14] Newuserr, lol said which [10:14] ;.quit [10:14] DEadPuNk: I don't understand what you want to do with colors. What is "main"? [10:14] VFS: Cannot open root device "UUID= [10:14] Newuserr, i THOUGHT i got java to work, but it lied to me [10:14] lol [10:14] etc [10:15] Or unknown-block(0,0) [10:15] mongo1, mongo1 no, swap shouldn't be more than 2gb, so 12 for root, and that leaves 36 for home [10:15] pg try this for the camera, see if its detected: lsusb [10:15] r3n0c: u would go sleeping :)), [10:15] main= is where am writing right now [10:15] !paste | pg [10:15] pg: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [10:15] I just mounted the partition on aa livecd so it works [10:15] Newuserr, lol well i was gonna, but i couldn't update my comp... b/c of java, but now it works so i'm gonna pass out [10:15] chraso, try installing xfonts-xxxx packages [10:15] But grub can't mount it [10:15] happy holidays all [10:15] r3n0c: java doesnt work strange? [10:15] pg: i need to use colors to chat on another irc server [10:15] java wanted me to manually install the sun-java6-docs [10:16] r3n0c: yeah wish you too good night [10:16] ok will try [10:16] there anyone use a color to chat [10:16] have to reboot [10:16] How can I fix it? Or check the UUID? [10:16] nickrud, so 90gb for vista, 57gb for ubuntu gusty, and 2gb for swap = 149gb total ? [10:16] because of my agere sv92pp and moto sm56pci win modems [10:16] mongo1, my math sucks, yes [10:17] savvis00: Yes, it is: "Bus 001 Device 007: ID 04a9:3085 Canon, Inc. PowerShot G5". And if I manually execute "gnome-volume-manager-gthumb", it allows me to import the photos. But it does not do it automatically. [10:17] if anyone have drivers please send me the link [10:17] nickrud, when i downsize the vista partition is it going to mess it up? [10:17] i googled a lot for it, but can't find the best [10:17] working [10:17] mongo1, but you should break out the ubuntu install into two partitions, one where you mount root " / " and the other /home . The first, 12gb is plenty [10:18] mongo1, on a fresh install, probably not [10:18] nickrud, im confused by what your saying about the 12gb [10:18] pg do you have another usb flash disk or something? are they mounted correctly? [10:18] Masser: check the UUID with "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/" [10:18] pg: Okay, I'll check [10:19] mongo1, think of /home as the /users dir on vista. Everything else lives on " / " (root) [10:19] hello hello :) [10:19] question [10:19] pg, this is cool didn't know those "new" /dev entries. [10:19] mongo1, but putting it all in one will work fine, if you're not sure about it [10:19] nickrud, are you gonna be on for a bit... when i get to the part where i create the partitions i'll just get you to help if so... so i dont screw it up [10:19] mongo1: you can simply mount root on your 57GB partition [10:19] why can't i play HD video on ubuntu? [10:20] mongo1, how long will you be ? [10:20] nickrud, idk its 25% done with the cd check [10:21] Link 1988 [10:21] savvis00: I have external an hard disk formatted with vfar, it auto-mounts OK. The camera used to auto-mount in earlier Ubuntu releases. [10:21] pg also I think there was a checkbox to mount automatically in the removable drives and media, check your settings [10:21] why can't i play HD video on ubuntu? [10:21] !hd [10:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about hd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:21] pg ok, unplug your device and plug it in again, then use this command: dmesg [10:22] mplayer? [10:22] savvis00: I have those settings enabled [10:22] mongo1, it's late, so if I leave I have the feeling that borndeer might be willing to help [10:22] VLC [10:22] pg: Shouldn't /dev/hda1 be root (hd0,0) in grub? [10:22] nickrud, ok i appreciate it ;) [10:22] pg it should tell you if there is an error while mounting (if it's trying to mount it at all that is) [10:22] How can it not find it? [10:22] try mplayer [10:22] oky [10:23] @nickrud : yeah I'm happy to help mongo1 . [10:23] the mplayer is serching for codecs, but i have install them all [10:23] laffy taffy wrapper says, "Q: What's Tux's favorite beverage? A: Root Beer" [10:24] savvis00: No errors. "usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 9 / usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice / usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 9" [10:24] MasseR: not necessarily afaik. You can set it to hd0,1 for example. [10:25] Hmm...

[10:27] savvis00: /var/log/syslog also shows no errors [10:27] borndeer: ubuntu like 6 times today [10:27] lol [10:27] pg: "Please append correct 'root=' boot otion; here are the available partitions:" [10:27] borndeer: but im wanting to do it right this time :P [10:27] And after that a kernel panic [10:27] mongo1, nothing like persistence :) [10:28] savvis00: thanks [10:28] MasseR, grub supports auto completion for drive and partition numbers with the TAB key. [10:28] kernel=balh root=/dev/sda1 ro vga=normal [10:28] nickrud, i know stupid hp recovery partition was ticking me off... i just went ahead and deleted it after i found they disguised a disc with the laptop thats actually a vista disc :P [10:29] mongo1: did ubuntu crash 6 times ? [10:29] mongo1, I'll wish you a good install, and I'll be around tomorrow to hear how it went :) [10:29] nighty night nick [10:29] borndeer: nope === Icarus is now known as DarkW0lf [10:29] borndeer: just my partitions were all wack [10:30] anyone use a digiwave 103g DVB card wit the USB remote in ubuntu? [10:30] pg: I tried changing the boot root option to /dev/hda1 but it still doesn't work [10:30] MasseR, usb disk? [10:30] sata? [10:30] ide [10:31] are the hd(x.x) correct borndeer: im at the partition part [10:31] kingoftheroots: Well I just mounted /dev/hda1 on a livecd :) [10:31] borndeer: should i select "guided" or "manual" ? [10:31] hd(0,1) <- tryed ? [10:32] You'd better select 'manual' [10:32] kingoftheroots: I'l try [10:32] MasseR, use hd(_<-cursor here and hit TAB in GRUB to get a list of disks and the same at the second number entry for partitions. [10:32] MasseR: what partitions do you have? Do you have serveral systems installed, like different installations of Linux or Windows or something? [10:32] kingoftheroots: An immediate error 17: cannot mount selected partition [10:32] anyone can help me [10:33] pg: Just a default kubuntu installation [10:33] MasseR, try the autocomplete, it will list partitions and file systems. [10:33] i guess my system doesn`t recognize my sound card anymore [10:33] predaeus: 0 is type ext2fs and 4 is filesystem type unknown [10:33] MasseR, is the disk the / is on set as 1st disk in the bios? [10:33] Hello, I am having troubles getting my microphone to pick up any sound using Ubuntu.The headphones work perfectly, now I just need to get the mic working... any pointers? [10:34] borndeer: k now i have guided partitioning, help on partitioning, SCSI1 (o,o,o) (sda) - 160.0 GB ATA ST9160821AS, #1 primary 160.0 GB B K ntfs /media/sda1, Undo changes to partitions, Finish partitioning and write changes to disk, [10:34] kingoftheroots: Should be, since it started only after I updated kubuntu (new kernel) [10:34] if so hd(0,x) -- where x is the partiton number. [10:34] borndeer: the commas note a new line btw [10:34] anyone ? [10:35] wressle, what sound card do you have? [10:35] predaeus: I have two, but the one I am using with my headset is the one on my motherboard. Do you need the specs? [10:36] It is identified as HDA Intel in the sound options. [10:36] So UUID should be the correct one. I checked it by starting a livecd and doing ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ [10:36] root (hd0,0) should be the correct one [10:36] you dont need UUID [10:36] mongo1: which partition did you install Vista on ? [10:36] !hda [10:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about hda - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:36] you can put /dev/hdx [10:36] kingoftheroots: It didn't work with root=/dev/hda1 also [10:36] borndeer: the only one there [10:36] borndeer: #1 primary 160.0 GB B K ntfs /media/sda1 === etotheipi is now known as _etotheip === _etotheip is now known as etotheipi [10:37] have you tested hdb? you know.. ther is a tool called supergrub you can use to fix this. [10:37] mongo1: so when you tried to install vista ,you installed it on the entire disk ? [10:37] wressle, try running alsamixer in a terminal and switch to the record tab with the TAB key and select mic for record with the SPACE key (sets a mark on it) you can then quit again with ESC. Or did you try setting the mic with gnome options already? [10:37] kingoftheroots: It shouldn't change from hda to hdb unless there's something wrong in the kernel, right? [10:38] borndeer: yup [10:38] borndeer: that not a good thing? someone told me to and then i can resize it later [10:38] right' [10:38] predaus, thats the thing. I have "Capture, Capture, Digital" under the Recording option in alsamixer. Something is missing :) [10:38] wressle: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [10:38] Oh well I'l do a fresh install :). Not too big a trouble [10:38] savvis00: Thanks! [10:39] mongo1: you can resize it but that may do harm to your vista . I'm not sure . [10:39] :o [10:39] borndeer: so what do we do? [10:39] hey guys [10:39] Ok. [10:39] wressle: i must warn you though, the fix they provide doesn't work all the time :( [10:40] trying to build a ubuntu kernel, and have a question about make menuconfig [10:40] MasseR, if you take away the UUID part in fstab and also in menu.1st file and replace that with /dev/path- i have to do that after i upgraded to2.6.23.11 [10:40] The trouble is that Ubuntu fails to recognize my IDE Controller. [10:40] erm.. take it away [10:40] wressle: I meant everytime, not all the time [10:40] Therefore it can't find my second (IDE) HDD. [10:40] savvis00: Ah, okey. Well, sound works just fine it is just the recording part the I have issues with. [10:40] kingoftheroots: Hmm.. True I didn't check the fstab yet [10:40] * membrive saluda [10:40] So I cant yell on my clan mates whilst playing QuakeWorld, my only problem right now since I've switched from Windows. [10:41] I need to enable agpgart, but in 2.6.20+ kernels you have to compile it in, how do I do that w/o using make menuconfig [10:41] how can I limit where an ssh user can go? [10:42] jbraddoc: chroot maybe? not sure, never tried it [10:42] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [10:42] mongo1: we get some trouble . you may use some windows app such as PartitionMagic to resize your partition . see : http://www.symantec.com/norton/products/overview.jsp?pcid=sp&pvid=pm80 [10:42] chroot? hrm [10:42] ciphercast, edit /usr/src/linux/.config and recompile [10:42] that's the doc i'm going off of [10:42] borndeer: i need a free program though :( [10:42] anyone help me to install the last version of xchat [10:42] jbraddoc: google for rssh [10:42] kingoftheroots: will do [10:43] can anyone help me install nvidia drivers offline with envy? [10:43] im having some trouble [10:43] jbraddoc: yeah, i think it makes a "fixed" access for a user to specific directories [10:43] Tmo85: I can help you install them, but not with envy [10:43] jbraddoc, http://www.howtoforge.com/chrooted_ssh_howto_debian [10:43] Anyone recommend a tv tuner card that works well with ubuntu/linux ? [10:43] MosseR: do you have your grub root set correctly? "root hd0,0" or whatever grub completes? [10:44] Pir8, pvr cards [10:44] yes sir. [10:44] borndeer: will this work http://vistarewired.com/2007/02/16/how-to-resize-a-partition-in-windows-vista/ or no because it can't edit a active partition [10:44] Pir8, most of them will work [10:44] mongo1; It's only safe to resize a blank partition , as far as I know . [10:44] ok [10:44] hmm [10:44] so what do i dooze :( [10:45] I need a bigger screen [10:45] :P [10:45] mongo1 you have a lot of paid options, like symantec partitiomagic, it's pretty stable if you ask me [10:45] i have no monies! its christmas! ouch [10:46] irc://irc.worldwideirc.net/mp3-hq [10:46] savvis00, buy it and gift wrap it to me [10:46] kingoftheroots: that file doesn't exist in the source branch [10:46] mongo1: sorry I'm not familiar with vista , but you can try out that method . [10:46] mongo1 i won't forget :p [10:46] wot? you haven compiled at all? [10:46] HmynToLife how would u suggest i install the drivers? [10:46] ciphercast, make oldconfig then [10:47] mongo1: if already have data on your Vista partition, you can copy it to another disk, partition and possibly re-install vista and copy your data [10:47] then see of its the,, PS. its a hidden file [10:47] mongo1: if you don't have data, just resize the partition and reinstall Vista if you have to [10:47] .config [10:47] kingoftheroots: yeah, I know its hidden, but the linux folder wasn't even there [10:48] ugh im lost :/ heh but thanks yall [10:48] jbraddoc they gave you a nice tutorial for what you asked :) [10:48] you dont got the source :0. try using the incuding kernel and modprobe agpart or whatever its called [10:48] how can I make ndiswrapper module be inserted and hdclient run automatically when I boot? [10:49] that is, if my wireless card is in the slot when I boot [10:49] pg hm.. in sessions window? [10:49] borndeer: looks like this'll work [10:49] I know lol i got lost though, i am gonna read over it again. [10:49] HmynToLife: Are you there? [10:49] I was hoping it was going to be something simple lol [10:50] pg, if that is a kernel module you can let it load on boot by entering it into /etc/modules [10:50] whats 100gb in mb? 100000 ? [10:50] but thanks savvis00, HymnToLife and B-rabbit [10:50] who can help me adding russian local ? [10:51] sergey #ubuntu-ru or from the menu: system -> administration -> languages [10:51] mongo1: ok , first resize your partition under vista , then boot with your liveCD [10:51] phaedrus: yes ndiswrapper is a kernel module, but I don't want to insert it if the removable card is not there. Ideally, it should be inserted when I insert the card into the pcmcia slot [10:51] ya i just gotta do some math 1 sec [10:52] savvis00, thks .. [10:53] wow, vista rocks [10:53] pg, sorry I don't know how to do that, but I think it will not do harm if loaded without the hardware available, maybe it won't be loaded or will jsut not be used. [10:53] thats nuts it did that so easily [10:53] borndeer: ok so now vista is 98.36GB and 50.68GB is unallocated [10:53] hi, I just installed some programs with wine, where can I see them ? [10:54] Alloosh: If you're running metacity and Gnome they show up under "applications->wine" [10:54] Alloosh: or ~/.wine/c_drive/Program Files/ [10:54] mongo1: All right , now you can reboot [10:54] Uj #wikipedia-de-rc [10:54] oops [10:55] phaedrus: thanks for trying. You may be able to show your prowess with several other things I need to fix on this box :P [10:55] borndeer: whew that was too close :D [10:55] Alloosh: Or in KDE, K->Wine->Programs [10:56] mongo1: what was close ? [10:56] hi! [10:56] Hi... if I manually install Flash will it break future updates? [10:57] do anyone know an iso-editing program? so I can just replace one of the files in an iso before I burn it to disk [10:57] borndeer: almost had to reformat and do another install :) [10:57] oke sorry guys [10:58] yubwyub - Mount it as loopback [10:58] chazco depends, if you're installing it on a 32-bit mozilla firefox and a 64-bit operating system, then yes, probably [10:58] Afaik everything on this PC is 32bit [10:58] borndeer: K rdy to do the partitions...

[11:21] jumqode, said "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Permission denied" without the sudo, and did nothing when i put sudo infront of it. [11:21] hay jimqode... [11:21] mongo1: logical , I think .

[11:23] corruptionoflulz, you have to be in the directory with the images you want to resize. if they are not in jpg format change the command to something like *.png or *.gif [11:23] bootable flag should be off?

Help? [11:31] Robert_Cozier, hmm your network card seems to be working, it just isn't configured. You can be having difficulties with configuring it because of the hal problem. also mounting usb disk didn't work because of hal. There ma be a problem hardware on your system. [11:31] mongo1: swap is out of your filesystem [11:31] k [11:31] Robert_Cozier, some dvdrom act weird [11:31] so i leave it swap [11:31] good [11:31] yeah [11:31] mmm that's true the dvdrom hasn't been working very well recently [11:31] ty so much ! :D [11:31] is that a driver error or a physical problem? [11:31] swap is used for additional memory . [11:32] Hmmm... I remember there was an alsa related upgrade some months back that required reconfiguring the card and mixer. The postinstall script gave in fact a message with the needed command but I can't recall it (and the system I'm using presently doesn't use alsa, so I can't check...) [11:32] Robert_Cozier, try disconnecting the dvdrom and rebooting. if it solves the problem this is a known issue with some dvd-roms and can be fixed with a firmware update to your dvd-rom === ajmorris_ is now known as ajmorris_|AFK [11:32] why it never more than 2gb? [11:32] Hello, I'm trying to connect my laptop to an Insignia NS-15LCD TV using a VGA cable, but it does not seem to work; any help would be greatly appreciated :) [11:32] Hey all, anyone remember what the function in Compiz-F is called, that makes windows sticky? Ceers [11:33] jimqode ... oh - it's a HP dv6000 tho, is it likely they'll have the firmware? [11:33] shawn, maybe the resolution? [11:33] mongo1: well, that's not exactly true . [11:33] and jimqode did you mean physically take it out of the laptop? [11:33] borndeer: nickrud said not to make it more than 2g [11:34] jimqode, possibly, I just tried extending default screen instead of mirroring and I got a grey screen on the TV so it's a start I suppose [11:34] Robert_Cozier, oh it's a laptop? if you can take it out easily try that. if you can't look for a firmware update on hp website support section [11:34] I tried upgrading fglrx and now only 2d works as I can't seem to unload 'ati', could anyone help? [11:34] hi [11:34] hello! is the "console-setup" file the only way to change the font in the TTY? i am having problems with finding the right tty font for nethack. it plays great in a terminal window but is garbled in TTY1-6 :( [11:34] shawn, if you want to mirror first change your resolution to one supported by your tv. then mirror it. [11:34] jimqode is it easy to install firmware? [11:35] mongo1: I know , usually 2GB will suffice . [11:35] if I run a bin file without sudo it says no permission, with sudo it says it can't find it.. this seems a bit strange, [11:35] borndeer: k [11:35] I just got "Input not Supported" on the TV [11:35] idefix, what do you mean? [11:35] mongo1: How much is your memory ? [11:36] borndeer: 2gb [11:36] a bin file is like an executable, right? so I run it preceded with ./ and I get 'no permision' with sudo I get 'can't find the file' [11:36] Robert_Cozier, you will probably need windows for that. but it should be a small windows executable file, so it should be fairly easy [11:36] idefix: try the full path [11:36] mongo1: well that's truly enough for run ubuntu ! [11:36] idefix, chmod a+x filename [11:36] got wine :p [11:37] borndeer: sweet [11:37] idefix, nice name :-) [11:37] borndeer:what do i do if my setup intallation stays at ^%? [11:37] bah this is working out to be more troublesome than i ever bargained for... [11:37] err 6% [11:37] idefix, go in to int /bin directory the run the executable [11:37] B-rabbit, should I move the file to the bin dir? [11:38] thx BernardB [11:38] Robert_Cozier, hp laptops don't work too well with linux. sorry for you... Buy a dell next time ;) [11:38] hey, is it cold where you're at now too? [11:38] idefix, open a terminal and type 'cd /bin' [11:39] idefix, and then run the executable [11:39] ohh well... thks anyways [11:39] ./ [11:39] Robert_Cozier: buy one of dose EEE laptops! [11:40] how get list of users on the chanell [11:40] mongo1: 6% ? [11:40] Hi there. Am trying to get bluetooth working with my ubuntu 7.10 machine. I have the loaded modules (bluetooth,rfcomm,l2cap,mmc_block,sdhci,mmc_core) and dmesg | grep -i bluetooth shows that the core, hci, l2cap and rfcomm layers have been initialised. However, I do not have a /dev/hci0 device. Any pointers? [11:40] borndeer: yup still there maybe if i give it long enough it'll go past [11:41] hey, i am admin on my laptop but for some reason i cant edit my filesystem [11:41] borndeer: ha just jumped to 32% [11:41] because it says im not admin [11:41] Fracture: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [11:41] I copied the file to the bin dir and tried running it but it cannot find the command [11:41] Fracture: or sudo editor /etc/fstab [11:41] Fracture, add yourself to the administrator group [11:41] firestorm, no bluetooth icon on your top panel? [11:42] Please... =/ I wish to use Ubuntu, but it can't recognize my HDD. Can anyone help me? [11:42] idefix: move it back again.. cd to the same dir and use sudo ./filename [11:42] Error: no "edit" mailcap rules found for type "application/*"ion/*" [11:42] Slart, I did that already [11:42] idefix: with the ./ ? [11:42] yes [11:42] idefix: ok.. look at the permissions of the file..ls -l [11:43] every time i add myself to admin group. it just reverts back [11:43] i dont stay in it [11:43] idefix, what type of file r u trying to run [11:43] ? [11:43] yesit works [11:43] idefix: ok, run this "sudo chmod a+x filename" [11:43] jimqode: using fluxbox/xdm and not gnome or kde. what doesthe bluetooth icon launch? [11:43] idefix: then try again [11:43] anquietas: are u running liveCD? [11:43] hallo, gibt es einen channel für egw?? [11:43] Yes, hums. [11:43] egw? szczurek [11:43] idefix: so... what was it? what made it work? [11:44] egroupware [11:44] is it true that kubuntu 8.04 will not have LTS??? [11:44] szczurek, ???? [11:44] the chmod a+x [11:44] B-rabbit, he looks for a channel about "egroupware"... whatever it is. [11:44] perfector: #kubuntu [11:44] szczurek ist polnisch ... [11:44] idefix: ah... ok. thanks [11:44] szczurek, /join #egroupware [11:45] please help me with this because im trying to stop being deafend by the massive screeching noise coming from my pc [11:45] !pl | szczurek [11:45] szczurek: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl [11:45] every time i add myself to the admin group [11:45] i dont stay in there [11:45] =/ I must leave for a moment. [11:45] firestorm, hmm i don't know. nautilus with an obex address i suppose [11:45] anquietas: try running fdisk [11:46] egw is a collaboration software like sharepoint [11:46] Fracture, try doing it as "root" [11:46] it works fantastic under ubuntu [11:47] I just went through the website - I am not seeing, I heard that ubuntu was good for laptops is this true? Does it support things like my capture stick? Will it support my SD reader? [11:47] jimqode: commands like 'hciconfig hci0' say "no such device" which is confirmed by an ls /dev/ showing hci0 to not exist [11:47] when i try to login as root [11:47] says [11:47] <`TyraeL^aw> seek team pv me :) [11:48] the system admin isnt allowed to login from this creen [11:48] screen* [11:48] o lol [11:48] i need to login from console [11:48] Fracture: When using sudo? [11:48] firestorm, are you using a bt dongle or a a builtin bt card? [11:48] when using ubuntu, no need to log in as root [11:49] ciao belli [11:49] jimqode: built-in bt card [11:49] im in root now [11:49] but how can i be logged into root [11:49] on the desktop? [11:49] when using metacity as a compositing manager, how do you change the background colour? [11:49] hey I have internet working on ubuntu, but cannot update or download updates from the repositories, any ideas? [11:49] mongo1: everything goes fine ? [11:50] Fracture: You're not supposed to, really. And imo it's not a good idea [11:50] I updated my kernel through the available updates list of Synpatics pm.. and now theres no sound. my sound card no longer appears in the sound properties device list, and i dont know how to load it back again.. can someone help me out? i have a lenovo 3000 n100 0768-59g laptop, with some kind of AC97 high definition audio card.. Help? [11:50] firestorm, can you turn it on/off using a button? if so turn it off then on again and see the output in dmesg to see if it is claimed by hal [11:50] then how can i put files in my filesystem [11:50] i need to badly [11:50] fracture: gksudo nautilus [11:50] unless some1 else can show me a way of updating ALSA from 1.0.14 to 1.0.15 [11:51] Jonesy88: maybe your system is up-to-date . [11:51] Fracture, login with your normal user then type "sudo su" [11:51] ye [11:51] ive dont that [11:51] Nooooo. sudo -i [11:51] Fracture, if you really want to login a root graphically(which i do not recommend) you have to enable the "allow local system administrator login" in the system> administration>login window in the security tab [11:51] or u could just use sudo [11:51] yea [11:51] ive done sudo in console [11:52] how can I make set -o vi work in my .profile? [11:52] Fracture, why do you want to login to desktop as root? it is not recommended [11:52] well [11:52] jimqode: the key sequence is for BT and wireless...dmesg shows wireless go off/on but nothing around BT when toggling the key sequence [11:52] i cant with my main user change my filesystem [11:53] when it says im admin [11:53] because i wnt to update ALSA [11:53] I installed ubuntu 6.06 LTS from livecd, how do I upgrade to gutsy? [11:53] * vincenz replaced his sources.list [11:53] anybody knows how can I make set -o vi work in my .profile? [11:53] vincenz: No, you can't upgrade straight to gutsy [11:53] * vincenz groans loudly [11:53] vincenz: If its freshly installed, why not just install Gutsy? [11:54] * vincenz kicks the nearest person [11:54] vincenz: You'll be able to upgrade straight to Hardy though [11:54] I'm getting seriously pissed [11:54] * vincenz first debootstrapps and installs gutsy straight, the swaps hds, but noone can tell him how to set up grub and they tell him to use the livecd. Frustrated after N reboots, I use the livecd to install, and now I have LTS... [11:54] x [11:54] firestorm, were bluetooth kernel modules loaded beforehand? if you you may need to rmmod them or restart the computer with bluetooth turned of to see a message on dmesg [11:55] !grub | vincenz [11:55] vincenz: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [11:55] Flannel, isn't there an upgrade option in the upgrade manager [11:55] vincenz: first link there explains how to setup grub. [11:55] to upgrade from feasty to gusty [11:55] vincenz: If you have config questions, I can help with those as well [11:55] can someone tell why all my sounds application blocks after i change the first song played ? [11:55] B-rabbit: right, feisty to gutsy, not deapper to gutsy. [11:55] o rite [11:55] :S [11:55] dapper to gutsy would be dapper > edgy > feisty > gutsy [11:55] vincenz, you can upgrade directly, you have to upgrade to all inbetween versions [11:55] jimqode: kernel drivers were loaded...ok turned off via key sequence and rebooted machine. will let ya know in a minute or so [11:55] o [11:56] Scanning liveCD, it says wubi-cdboot.exe has trojan-generic. That appears scary. Should I trust the antivirus? [11:56] firestorm, ok. i'll be here [11:56] so replace all gutsy by edgy? then upgrade, then replace all edgy by feisty? [11:56] vincenz: no. Use update-manager [11:56] !upgrade | vincenz [11:56] vincenz: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [11:56] i just got through installing ubuntu 7.10 and its at the orange loading bar screen... but its stopped at about 15% [11:57] how can i get it going? [11:57] Fracture, were u able to solve ur problem? [11:57] mongo1: How long has it been there? [11:57] bout 5mins [11:58] there some butt ons i can press to get it movin? [11:58] mongo1, no u just have to wait [11:58] mongo1: If it has any errors, it'll let you know, drop down into a textmode with diagnostics. Unless of course its actually frozen. If you want to drop yourself into the text mode anyway (to see what its doing at least), you can hit ctrl-alt-f2 and that ought to bring you there [11:58] Flannel: alright, thanks [11:58] mongo1, how much memory do you have? [11:58] 2gb [11:58] in ur pc [11:58] it should be fine [11:58] i hit alt f2 and nothing [11:59] mongo1: ctrl-alt-f2 [11:59] ya thats what i meant [11:59] should i restart the computer? [11:59] mongo1: no , you'd better not [11:59] mongo1, it will tell u to restart [11:59] can someone tell why all my sounds application blocks after i change the first song played ?? [11:59] why? [11:59] i think it is frozen though [11:59] have I got it right, that when I have a rooter (without my own DNS server), then I could rely on netbios to identify and resolve hosts by name? [11:59] can someone tell me why xgi is so slow processing gimp? [12:00] mongo1: wait a bit patiently , [12:00] hmm [12:00] but the ctrl alt f2 thing didn't bring up the text stuff [12:00] and its still here at 3 sections of the bar [12:00] once i waited for about 30 mins to install edubuntu . [12:00] same [12:01] its past the install... its at the loading screen [12:01] cool man [12:01] is it possible to config ubuntus default window manager so I can doubleklick on the ikon in the left corner of the windows? [12:01] ..too close the window I mean [12:02] can I get an rss feed for svn/cvs changes for a given project at sourceforge? [12:02] where in the system can i find amsn buddy pictures? [12:03] * Mikelevel alguno con una qtek s200 o similar? [12:03] can someone tell why all my sounds application blocks after i change the first song played ?? [12:03] yubwyub: why not just click the 'close' icon ? [12:04] I really need the classical windows way to close windows, double click on the windows "system menu" (left corner) My mind is really hardcoded since win2.0 to click there subconciously..... [12:05] jimqode: key sequence not effecting BT unfortunately [12:05] Milotin, what application r u using? [12:05] jimqode: have rebooted, kernel modules loaded, still no /dev/hci0 device [12:05] any [12:06] borndeer: still at the third block of the loading bar :( [12:06] firestorm, probably your bluetooth adapter is not supported then. you may want to open a bug report on launchpad [12:06] jimqode: no problems thanks for your help! [12:07] jimqode bah, not i've totally rooed it [12:07] Hallo, Kaspersky Internet Security says wubi-cdboot.exe has trojan-generic. My friend wants to try ubuntu using wubi. That report scares him. Should I move on installing wubi or avoid it? [12:07] Robert_Cozier, what happened? [12:07] Is there a good tool I can use to sync up my preferences (~/. files) between work and home over ssh? I need something where I can pick and choose what features I want to import. [12:07] B-rabbit, any tips for follow ? [12:08] hmm, i read some bad advice about editing the grub menu to disable the use of DVD rom features, and the pc's going all over the shot... [12:08] hmmm lol [12:08] mongo1: any text on the screen ? [12:08] can ubuntu do my christmas shopping? [12:08] nope [12:08] no response from ctl alt f2 either [12:08] ...so if it possible somehow.... perhaps a config-file somewhere, or extraprogram that add mouse-shortcuts something... it is awfull that nothing happens when I doublecklick on windows icon... [12:08] hums, at least check the md5 before running it [12:09] you are using alternative cd ,right ? [12:09] Robert_Cozier, did you try the NOAPIC kernel option? that might help [12:09] jimcooncat: thx [12:09] borndeer: yes [12:09] jimqode, if i remember correctly i installed it with NOAPIC [12:10] Hi all [12:10] reckon i could just install the important files again? and still keep the stuff that i need - e.g. documents ect [12:10] hums that would be really nasty for us if someone starts infecting wubi. If you do find you got a corrupted file, please be sure to tell someone. [12:10] anyone tell me where i can get a live cd version of ubuntu please? [12:10] Milotin, sorr [12:10] y [12:10] tell the police! [12:10] my sstem is hanging while/after starting the kernel logger. what can I do? [12:11] re [12:11] loadbang: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu [12:11] the spanish inquisition [12:11] Robert_Cozier I am coming in late on this conversation, but I have in the past reinstalled linux without reformatting and was able to preserve all but a few minor config files [12:11] Robert_Cozier, what is the problem? Did you mess up grub? [12:11] borndeer: im running the recovery thingy [12:11] hi [12:11] jimqode that is correct i messed up grub [12:12] loadbang, go where Flannel said the download the iso and burn it on to a blank cd [12:12] ... and tho1 that sounds optimistic, is there something i can follow step by step [12:12] i've got a serious problem. i just got a new computer (with msi am2 motherboard) and since the system didn't have a cd/dvd writer preinstalled i bought one (LG H58N) and installed it. now when i boot the comp still gets to the point where grub loads and grub even attempts to start ubuntu, but then the screen turns black and nothing... can anyone help me? [12:13] Flannel: done that, rebooted on my macbook pro, and the only option i get is to install [12:13] Robert_Cozier if it is just grub....first try 'sudo /usr/sbin/grub-install' and see if it reinstalls the menu.lst...but why not just undo what you did? [12:13] what do i do if the ubuntu-recovery hangs at " * Loading hardware drivers... _" ? [12:13] loadbang: You didn't get the Desktop Cd, you got the alternate CD then. [12:13] both desktop and server x86-64 cd's [12:13] Robert_Cozier, this might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24113.html [12:14] can anyone send me a sources.list file that makes my PC access all repos? [12:14] tho1 because i dunno how to, it comes up with a command line with 'grub>' as the prompt [12:14] loadbang: Desktop CDs will give you a liveCD, you can't install from them without booting to a liveCD (or fiddling with kernel parameters) [12:14] Hello, I am installing the cinelerra already run when I said " "cinelerra: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libquicktimehv-1.6.0.so.1: undefined symbol: NeAACDecDecode"" resetting laguien tell me why? [12:14] please? [12:14] Robert_Cozier check the link jimqode put up, and that will give me time to put something into pastebin for you [12:14] i've got a serious problem. i just got a new computer (with msi am2 motherboard) and since the system didn't have a cd/dvd writer preinstalled i bought one (LG H58N) and installed it. now when i boot the comp still gets to the point where grub loads and grub even attempts to start ubuntu, but then the screen turns black and nothing... can anyone help me? [12:14] mongo1: I think the recovery only works after you successfully install ubuntu . [12:14] k thx tho1 [12:15] idefix, wait ill pastebin mine :) [12:15] LoRez: the first choice on the CD might be "Load or install ubuntu" or something lik that, but it really is a liveCD. [12:16] borndeer: well i thought i've already installed ubuntu? [12:16] hello, does anybody know if gutsy-proposed updates affect to system stability? [12:16] idefix, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49282/ [12:16] B-rabbit, thx [12:17] Robert_Cozier this is a text file I have had for quite a while...notes about how to restore grub from the grub prompt. No guarantees...but I have used it successfully in the past. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49281/ [12:17] both desktop and server x86-64 cd's [12:17] idefix, no probs [12:17] Rephrased: Is there a good tool I can use to sync up my firefox preferences between work and home? [12:17] loadbang: the first choice on the CD might be "Load or install ubuntu" or something lik that, but it really is a liveCD. [12:18] tho1 aha :/ [12:18] jimcooncat I use grsync to sync folders like pictures and the like, it should work just as well for something smaller like that === rodserling_ is now known as rodserling [12:18] i ask this as i have an old ubuntu, boot from the cd and it gives an option to go into the desktop [12:18] tho how come you gave the title "Windows XP"? [12:19] Robert_Cozier just make sure you get the 'hd(0,0)' part right...that second digit needs to match the partition on your hard drive [12:19] loadbang: right. As of 6.06, the LiveCD became the "Desktop CD" which is a liveCD with an installer on teh desktop (through the live session) and the Installation CD became the alternate CD, which still does the same stuff [12:19] tho1: thanks, I think I need something that will let me review what's syncing though [12:19] Hi everybody! I have some weid problem here that maybe some ov you can help. I'm trying to see some video here and the video proper is playing good, but the sound isn't playing. I'm using the spdif in to get the sound and, althought I can record it (what makes me sure that the hardware is ok) I cant here it directly. Anyone has ideas about it? [12:20] jimcooncat grsync will do that...it has a Simulation button [12:20] kk, i'm doing the graphical one that i got the link to earlier atm lol [12:20] bt i'll keep it in mind [12:20] tho1: great! sorry to dismiss it so quickly after looking at the screenshot [12:21] mongo1: ok , can you see the login screen now ? [12:21] nope [12:21] just chilling here at 3rd block in loading bar [12:21] maybe i'll leave it here and go to sleep and check it later [12:21] I get you Flannel, I was worried if I choose the installer option i would write/format my hard drive without telling the user. [12:21] valmir, try the application>system tools>Ubuntu device database to check if all your hardware is allrite [12:22] that's fine and maybe you need to read the wiki first , that may help [12:22] jimqode, if my pc's having firmware problems with the DVD playe,r how come it's only happening now? [12:22] loadbang: Nah, even if you do accidentally start the alternate CD, or the installer on the liveCD, you need to go through a few prompts (including one about partitioning) before you actually touch anything. [12:23] Robert_Cozier, did you use ubuntu or any other linux flavor succesfully before on this pc? [12:23] valmir, or check the advance volume control option [12:23] to see everything allrite [12:23] jimqode, nah it was vista actually [12:24] had no troubles with it - even now that i've just booted off the disk and following those instructions you gave me [12:24] Hi I am wanting to use a web cam it is a Cyclops dr100 [12:24] Where could I set the option so the .bash_history saves over 100 lines? [12:24] how can i get programs to start maximized and on a specific workspace? (gnome / compiz) [12:24] I am running Mint Linux, can anyone please point me in the right direction. [12:24] I've got a toshiba a210-17i laptop, and I'm having problems getting the display to dim. the hotkeys actually make the brightness indicator go up and down on screen, but the display itself doesn't change, same when the power is unplugged, any ideas? [12:24] Matic`Makovec, .bashrc [12:24] last night I tried installing the gspca driver without any success. Any suggestions? [12:24] I have a kernel panic with my WLAN card (Realtek) after I have upgraded my system to gusty. I have found some posts... that there is a kernel problem... this problem should be fixed in kernel 2.6.23.5... how can I update? This kernel is not in apt? [12:24] i belive [12:24] Robert_Cozier, sometimes kernel developers has to choose between implementing a hack for a faulty hardware of firmware and they generally choose not to implement a hack because it will complicate the driver code and upgrading the firmware is the logical way anyway [12:24] B-rabbit, thanks [12:25] err.. guys, i tried installing all those window managers, but with the "Setting up ", i get segmentation faults..

[12:35] exlibris: Try dell.com/ubuntu [12:35] Robert_Cozier I found Suse 10.3 pretty good...they must be getting something out of that agreement with M$ [12:35] hi ladies and gentlemen [12:35] Flannel: that doesn't apply to the root, it won't carry on unless i set the root to be formatted [12:35] heh, [12:35] Ahri: Thats true, because if it doesn't format it, it can't rewrite stuff. Why exactly don't you want it formatted? [12:36] because i have lots of stuff on there [12:36] and it's not true; i'm not interfering with the required file structure [12:36] tho1 do you have a HP laptop too?

So you see the ubuntu loading splash, and then it goes blank? [12:45] eric2087, enter "about:plugins" in your firefox address bar and hit enter. look for a flash entry. [12:45] sigh [12:45] my network icon disapear on my xuubuntu desktop any idea? [12:45] yep... [12:45] shockwave is not flash correct? or is that wrong? [12:45] eggroll: What's your graphics card?

[12:54] Hi, when I plug an external HD, it's automounted and get default options such as rw,nosuid,nodev. The question is from where does it got those options? There is no entry in /etc/fstab for it [12:54] "is_installed, which uses the bash built-in type to see whether a program is installed" [12:54] malachi: actually it only give s me a yes no option [12:54] Choose no. [12:54] ok [12:54] Then choose VESA, eggroll. [12:55] intelike: It's in a script that I'm wanting to use. [12:55] how do You start your vnc server?

[12:55] Matrix I don't use vnc...it is too unsecure. I use NoMachine's NXserver [12:55] malachi: now it asks for an identifier for my video card.... [12:55] is_installed is supposed to see whether a program is installed. [12:55] default to a generic [12:55] Matrix but I can pastebin my old vnc script if you give me a minute [12:55] The forums are giving no answers, and neither is google. [12:56] sure wait a bit neede to log on ubuntu [12:56] then lol [12:56] xLE: unrar x yourfile.rar [12:56] usr13 but what does "is_installed" do ? if you can't tell us what the thing does we probably can't tell you what you can substitute. [12:56] eggroll: Yes, choose the default, and then select the defaults for everything else. [12:56] ok..one sec.. [12:56] usr13 oh sorry lag [12:56] tho1 did you try XFCE on SUSE? [12:56] intelikey: I'm hoping to adapt Carl Welch's GPG-Based Password Wallet script to work on my ubuntu system. [12:56] usr13 dpkg -l | grep -q [12:57] Flannel: thanks, i'll try to create a new partition for ubuntu [12:57] malachi: it asks for the amount of memory to be used by the video card....no default amount listed [12:57] Matrix http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49290/ [12:57] usr13 or if you want it to confirm propper installation dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep -q [12:57] Robert_Cozier I use xfce on both ubuntu (my server) and suse (my laptop) [12:57] eggroll: Just hit enter.

I've gotten to edge, now going to feisty. but I get an error from GnuPG in the console [12:58] malachi: use kernal framebuffer device interface? [12:58] yes or no? [12:58] heh what the hell i've got time to screw around with the pc these hols so I might as well try something diff [12:59] Robert_Cozier much more control than gnome or kde...for instance, I map my home folder on the server to a folder in ~ with one click in the filemanager [12:59] eggroll: What's the default? [12:59] no [12:59] that's what the focus is on [12:59] i have question [12:59] Robert_Cozier xfce is also the only way to go if you have limited resources (ram,hd,cpu speed) [12:59] eggroll: No, then. (Hit enter) [13:00] ok [13:00] intelikey: is_installed is supposed to be a function of dialog [13:00] it is not only about ubuntu [13:00] intelikey: according to Carl Welch's article in Linux Journal Magazine. [13:00] Guys, i tried installing some window managers (20 window managers or so), but with the "Setting up " message, i get segmentation faults.. HUH?! This is serious, is my system broken? It returns error code 139, if it helps. Anyone? <-- This is a really critical problem. I can't install ANY package, nor update my system. It's all broken, and keeps segfaulting. even removing all those packages does not help. Please, can a [13:01] Arelis: FULL apt-get output [13:01] and segfaults are always serious, but rarely easy to diagnose [13:02] wols: The errors are in Dutch, but here are the errors: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49284/ [13:02] I keep getting this while trying to upgrade from edgy to feisty "exception from gpg: GnuPG exited non-zero, with code 131072" [13:02] usr13 you can write that as a function if you like. i was just giving a methood for finding out if a package is installed should work on "all" debian based distros [13:02] intelikey: Actually, that's not true, because I see in his script, "is_installed dialog". So I guess I'm wrong about that, but I think the article is a little vague or lacking in some details. [13:02] malachi: ok...hit all the default and I'm back at the command prompt [13:03] usr13, can you pastebin the content of ur script [13:03] ty ideily u rock [13:03] * Matrix wonders what's ubuntus ctrl + alt + delete [13:03] B-rabbit: Sure, just a sec. [13:03] eggroll: Reboot by typing "sudo reboot" and see if it works. [13:03] usr13 no. you are misunderstanding what he's saying. is_installed is a function and it's outputing to dialog for user input [13:03] ok [13:04] usr13 but assuming that dialog is installed is not a wise move either. [13:04] intelikey: B-rabbit: http://pastebin.ca/upload.php [13:05] intelikey: But I did install dialog [13:05] intelikey: I just don't know what to do about "is_installed" [13:06] hello ppl [13:06] wols: The errors are in Dutch, but here are the errors: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49284/ [13:06] usr13 find where the function is defined. and fix it. [13:06] hoiw vcan u tell whether a package needs to be made after it6s untarred? [13:07] ty a lot intelikey i workx :) [13:07] malachi: I don't think any change....it looks like it almost flashes between a dim blank screen and a brighter one a few times and then just goes blank....it did the same thing before also [13:07] aeGIs: export LANG=C [13:07] aeGIs: then run the error producing stuff egain [13:07] crush_groove always read the docs that come with it. [13:07] #surabaya [13:08] crush_groove they are generally in all caps [13:08] eggroll: Hm, okay. Reboot back into recovery mode. The problem probably isn't the gfx driver like I thought. [13:08] oh ok...one sec [13:08] intelikey, agreed . this partcularly read me only gives you version update info [13:08] hiiiiiiiiii [13:08] intelikey: Oh, well... according to the article, "function" is another file [13:08] cls i think u ment to type "/join #surabaya" ;) [13:09] intelikey: http://pastebin.ca/828405 [13:09] wols: Did you receive my message? [13:09] B-rabbit: and you meant to type cl5 :) [13:09] lol [13:09] intelikey: ~/bin/function [13:09] usr13 so like i said, you can make a function of that name 'is_installed' with the dpkg/grep string and use that. [13:09] how do i create a bootable installable ubuntu media on a usb flash drive ? [13:09] but to know what exactly happens with ratpoison, set "set -x" on top of ratpoison.postinst in /var/lib/dpkg/info [13:09] Arelis: export LANG=C [13:10] Arelis: then run the error producing stuff egain [13:10] ok [13:10] Hi all [13:10] malachi: ok, I have the command line again [13:11] eggroll: Let me make sure I'm understanding you correctly, first. You get the blank screen AFTER you see the orange Ubuntu screen? [13:11] Anyone know what app is running on the desktop in the read news section: ttp://blog.shankarganesh.com/2007/12/21/how-to-improve-your-english-online/ [13:11] that looks like a gnome desktop to me [13:11] wols: Thanks. That's a handy trick. Errors: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49293/ [13:11] yep...the orange loading bar goes across the screen [13:12] usr13 yeah that only looks for executables of a given name. and which blah works better [13:12] then its just blank [13:12] its the second picture [13:12] egroll: Okay, first, let's undo our changes. Type 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' again. [13:12] how do i create bootable usb flash drive media for installing gutsy ? [13:12] ok....

[13:14] i want to switch from xp to ubuntu, but im a little worried about the x-fi drivers? is there a driver out that works with ubuntu? [13:14] eggroll: Yes. [13:14] wols: I think it's not. Only apt-get gives segmentation faults, and only when doing that script. Also, i just got this pc brand-new from my father (he used it for like 2 years), and it had windows on it. [13:14] ok [13:14] and then default from there? [13:14] Yes, eggroll. [13:14] until I get a command prompt? [13:14] wols: And it started today, when i tried to install all those packages. Before, it was normal. [13:15] hi guys. [13:15] avis, u r welcome :) [13:15] wols: Before, i installed E17 from a repo and uninstalled it again. And i installed wmii and removed it.

[13:16] anyone know why subshells are not inheriting the environment of the parrent using openvt ? [13:16] (i think my internet is acting weird) [13:16] malachi: until I get a command prompt? [13:16] depends mx92; what is your question? [13:16] eggroll: Correct.

[14:10] B-rabbit: he doesnot have my password, so what good will that do? [14:10] * Gachuk sighs [14:10] todd_, oohh sorry i missundustood silly me [14:10] I've also tried various other linux distros to install I seem to be having little luck [14:10] todd_, are you concerned something malicious was done? with physical access to your machine anything can be done, passwords are meaningless [14:10] todd_: and 'last' indicates that he logged in ? what times ? open System->Administration->System Log and cross-references the times ... also check the /home/FLATMATES'USERNAME/.bash_history file for details of any command line usage. [14:11] todd_: what level of account does the flatmate have ? a standard user account ? [14:11] bazhang: It's a LinkSys PCMPC100, which uses the Asix driver. Well, it used it for the install, but now PCMCIA services do not appear to work. lspcmcia gives no output at all. [14:11] <|DrEaMeR|> hi hi [14:11] todd_, r u the administrator of the pc [14:11] ? [14:12] dadehoog: last says he has never logged in, he does not have many rights (only I am administrator) [14:12] Torgoton: I found external nics to be a bane of those earlier versions--finally just went wired with my one old laptop [14:12] Torgoton: could you please run 'lsmod', put the output on pastebin, and link us to it ? it would be good to see what (if anything) has loaded kernel module-wise ... [14:12] todd_, all he has to do is boot with a livecd [14:12] bazhang: external? This is a PCMCIA NIC,, a wired one. [14:13] hey guys, i have a computer that i just saved from getting thrown away, but i have some problems: its sound card and network card seem completely incompatible with ubuntu; I can deal with no sound, but the network is sort of necessary... I would buy it a simple NIC, but the trouble is I can't run a network cable all across my house to the router/modem/switch/everything else, so I need a wireless card. Any advice on what I should get? [14:13] todd_: does your flatmate know anything about PCs/Linux/*nix ? [14:13] astro76: He is not that smart... trust me [14:13] todd_, well that's good ;) [14:13] todd_-> does he have a girlfriend? can you get even that way? [14:13] hah! [14:13] dadehoog: Only if I could! The machine doesn't have a working nic, so I have to type the list by hand... or wait! how do I start a serial login? [14:13] dadehoog: No he is a windows vista guy... [14:13] fsufitch: I'm afraid I haven't used a PCI wireless card ... [14:13] fsufitch cheap beklin card [14:13] used bcm43xx driver === |DrEaMeR| is now known as DrEaMTRiCK [14:14] *uses [14:14] i do "apt-get install azureus" and it installs an old version who won't even update itself [14:14] * Gachuk bashes his head against the wall [14:14] Torgoton: you have a null modem cable and are going to serial into it ..? gah. or PLIP (parallel) ? [14:14] Torgoton: a pcmcia card? that you stick into a slot in the side of the laptop? or something in a desktop [14:14] kingoftheroots: ah. do you have any specific model in mind? [14:14] dadehoog: serial null modem [14:14] todd_: what makes you think that something has changed ? [14:14] bazhang: laptop pcmcia wired nic [14:14] kingoftheroots: and you meant belkin, not beklin, right? [14:14] yep [14:14] dadehoog: I do not have sound... [14:15] Torgoton: it's messy - involves running pppd on the laptop, and a ppp client on the other machine, and routing across the two ... I've never touched it. [14:15] dadehoog: I had sound last night, and now I dont [14:15] dadehoog: nononoo not over a modem, just a cable. [14:15] Torgoton: Perhaps a simpler approach ... run 'lsmod |grep' yenta [14:15] Torgoton: internal, or plugin? iirc pcmcia are something you plugin to a slot on the side, ie external (not built in) [14:15] fsufitch, i got a Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g and it works well.. its old so i gues its cheap nowasays [14:15] Hey. I need help with an ati card. Any takers? [14:15] Torgoton: and 'lsmod |grep pc' and see if anything comes up [14:15] erm.. bad english [14:15] Hello - is there any known issue with ATI cards not being able to do 1920x1200 in ubuntu? [14:16] kingoftheroots: i'll look into it [14:16] just checking for a friend [14:16] todd_, check your advance volume controll [14:16] meanwhile, do you have any advice to a decent sound card (that works with ubuntu)? [14:16] !ati | guipenguin [14:16] guipenguin: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [14:16] guipenguin-> yes, since i have an old ati card [14:16] guipenguin: what monitor do you have :| i thought mine was big [14:16] B-rabbit: that is fine, first thing I did [14:16] fsufitch, bcm4306 works well for me too, but I think most would advise to get an atheros for linux which is supported by madwifi driver [14:16] todd_: is there anything in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages about the sound ? [14:16] dadehoog: only parport_pc comes up [14:16] fsufitch try with oss emulatin [14:17] *emulation [14:17] i do "apt-get install azureus" and it installs an old version who won't even update itself [14:17] hi [14:17] kingoftheroots: according to the system listings of hardware, this one does have oss emulation [14:17] Torgoton: and what does /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages or dmesg have to say about pcmcia or pc cards ? anything ? [14:17] fsufitch, I've always used Turtle Beach cards with Linux [14:17] bazhang: this is the old laptop I was going on about yesterday. it's a PC Card NIC, which goes in the side, yes. It worked for installation, but it's not enabled at startup. [14:17] dadehoog; yes a bunch of stuff! [14:18] todd_: can you copy and paste the output to pastebin for us to look at ? [14:18] guipenguin: What model ati card do you have? I'm having problems with mine under gutsy. [14:18] where is pastebin? [14:18] !pastebin > todd_ (todd_, see the private message from Ubotu) [14:18] todd_, in this situation...the best thing to do is to go straight to ur flat mate and ask what he has done with it ;) [14:18] blkbox: so am I ... with video overlay ? [14:18] everyone said how i juste start buntu on batt and not if ac is plug [14:18] Niteye: LCD laptop - 15.4" at 1920x1200... very sharp [14:19] is there a repo for vmware-server that will run on gutsy [14:19] i have a 22" and it only does 1650x1050 max [14:19] blkbox: again.. I'm talking for my friend, (I use nvidia) - his card is a Radeon Mobility 9700 (128MB) [14:19] dadehoog: nothing about pcmcia in either file [14:19] dadehoog: I'm not quite sure. Right now, it defualts to the vesa failsafe driver. I can't get it to use the ati driver. [14:19] Torgoton: a stab in the dark - try running 'sudo modprobe pcmcia' [14:20] blkbox: ok, what's the card ? try running 'lspci |grep VGA' and pasting the output here [14:20] dadehoog: well that gave no output, but now pcmcia and pcmcia_core are in lsmod. how about my NIC? modprobe asix....? [14:20] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49300/ [14:20] ORA EENK [14:20] Torgoton: if you know what the kernel module(s) are called - go for it ... [14:21] i do "apt-get install azureus" and it installs an old version who won't even update itself, i tried downloading the latest .bz2 tar and this one crashes at boot, any help? [14:21] planet do you have a question? [14:21] dadehoog: I've forgotten.... but maybe... Woody is also on the machine. it's messages file should have it. [14:21] Niteye: the packages are supported ... later versions are not ... (yet). [14:21] How do I draw to the desktop (like xpenguins), perhaps in python? [14:21] guipenguin: I have a radeon 7000. But i can't it to use the ati driver; keeps defaulting to the low graphics node. [14:22] are there other bittorrent clients for linux? i know about gnome-btclient or something which is standard installed, but it's a bit too simple for my needs [14:22] dadehoog: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49300/ [14:22] Niteye: many [14:22] dadehoog: Messages about Asix AX88190, but no mention of the file name. Where are the modules so I can lookat their names? [14:22] any recommendations? [14:22] Torgoton: ok, but check that the kernel modules haven't changed name since the ancient woody kernel :) [14:23] Niteye: gtk? [14:23] Torgoton: should be in the dmesg output ... [14:23] todd_: what's the connection between your soundcard and bluetooth ? [14:23] dadehoog: what??? [14:23] gtk is not a bittorrent client tho [14:23] everyone said how i juste start buntu on batt and not if ac is plug [14:23] dadehoog: nothing [14:24] kingoftheroots: i think i can now be declared "stupid": I turned my sound card from ALSA to OSS and it now works perfectly >_< [14:24] Niteye: right, you want one that is gtk, java, kde, other [14:24] dadehoog: uhm... nope. nothing in dmesg about the card. I even removed and re-inserted, but this is not PCI, it's 16-bit PC Card. Where might I find Woody's dmesg? [14:24] non-java, and gnome [14:25] fsufitch :) [14:25] Niteye: not sure if deluge is gnome or not [14:25] pierre__, your question is not understandable [14:25] todd_: it won't be there unless woody is running ... might be able to use /var/log/messages or syslog though ..? [14:25] dadehoog: uhm, maybe in /var/log/dmesg? :) [14:25] !fr | pierre__ [14:25] pierre__: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [14:26] Torgoton and todd_: sorry, last msg was for Torgoton :) [14:26] dadehoog: no problem thanks [14:26] dadehoog: Nothing in there about the nic or ethernet. bah. so, now to find the module... [14:26] in gnome.. is there a way to adjust gamma brightness or contrast of display? [14:26] todd_: the log seems to indicate that the kernel is looking for audio configuration: audio[5282]: Parsing /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf failed: No such file or directory [14:27] kingoftheroots: my speakers were apparently screwed up. for some reason they play when i hook then up to my laptop, but not to my PC [14:27] Torgoton: you can grep through your kernel config file ..? [14:27] my PC works fine when i plug headphones into it... [14:27] thank's [14:27] this is WEIRD [14:27] fsufitch: are they powered speakers? [14:27] no, just via the sound card [14:28] dadehoog: ok how do I fix it, the only audio config I did since instalation was change the volume??? [14:28] fsufitch: thats why, then. [14:28] todd_: what exactly do you mean by "not working" ? error message ? silent ? static ? [14:28] fsufitch: they probably work fine on your PC [14:28] just stick your ear up to them :) [14:28] JonathanD: nonono, they fail on my PC, but work on my laptop [14:28] the PC is outputting unamplified, the laptop is outputting amplified [14:28] ahh [14:28] ergo, they work on the PC but are too quiet to hear. [14:28] i see [14:28] any way to turn amplification on? [14:29] can I run puppy from flash ? [14:29] it's a sound card feature. [14:29] dadehoog: silent completely [14:29] ((note to self, that's why my laptop is so loud when I use headphones)) [14:29] dadehoog: the module seems to be axnet_cs. I did a modprobe of that, and it shows up in lsmod, but lspcmcia still shows nothing. ooooh! the pcmcia chipset driver... [14:29] hey guys, how do i get it to where I can vnc into my remote box regardless of who is logged into it? [14:29] fsufitch: I'd say just get a set of powered speakers. [14:29] fsufitch: you might get different levels of amplification from line out and from headphone ... [14:29] fsufitch: you'll get much better qualitiy that way. [14:29] frojnd: as this is #ubuntu, no idea [14:29] JonathanD: sound card feature, or sound card disability XD [14:29] fsufitch: but probably not enough :x [14:29] heh [14:29] yes! blinky lights! [14:29] bazhang, oh, mistake [14:29] ok [14:29] !ruby [14:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about ruby - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:30] fsufitch: powered speakers can be had for under 20 USD so... [14:30] dadehoog: i had to modprbe i82365 [14:30] todd_: can you please run "cat /var/log/kern.log" and put it up on a pastebin ? [14:30] JonathanD: yeah, this winter vacation i'm going to go on a comp spending spree; all my current hardware is crap or has some part of it that's crap [14:30] heh :) [14:31] I'm anxiously awaiting my new laptop. [14:31] Torgoton: ok, so you've got the PCMCIA interface, your PCMCIA chipset loaded, and a driver for your card loaded ... any joy ? :P [14:31] i can just start ubuntu on battery he not start on AC [14:31] JonathanD: oooooh what laptop? [14:31] lenovo T61 [14:31] hey guys, how do i get it to where I can vnc into my remote box regardless of who is logged into it? [14:31] JonathanD: Are the Lenovo lappies as good as the IBM ones ? [14:31] dadehoog: ehh, for the most part. [14:31] "the most part" ? [14:31] dadehoog: the preloads are letting some stuff slip through though. [14:32] dadehoog: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49302/ [14:32] dadehoog: hardware quality yes, preload software, no. [14:32] dadehoog: Yes!!! after that last modprobe, eth0 was configured, DHCP happend by itself, and I can use wget! Now to install a text mode browser... and other fun. Oh! and to make it happen at startup! [14:32] JonathanD: aarg i hate u ;) all i have is an Inspiron B130 [14:32] fsufitch: I get them through work. [14:32] every 3 years. [14:32] ah [14:32] dadehoog: the build quality is the same or better, though. [14:32] Torgoton: two things to check re startup: 1. /etc/modprobe.d/ and then if all else fails /etc/rc.local [14:32] especially the screen, it's tank solid. [14:32] dadehoog: I have a T60, and the Lenovo ThinkPads are just as good, but they also sell Lenovo brand which are make a bit more cheaply. [14:33] JonathanD: I've got two T42s ... and they're bloody solid. === lumpy is now known as Lump|AFK [14:33] check out the vid where they throw one against the wall at 35mph, dadehoog [14:33] dadehoog: This old lappy though is a ThinkPad 750P. 33MHz 486 with 36MB RAM.

[14:34] I had a fight with a port replicator (in which the latch broke and had the laptop latched to it) and I had to force the laptop off. Only one clip broke on the laptop ... [14:34] Torgoton: my parents are still running my (always on) 600X ... [14:34] JonathanD: I've seen the driving a car over it one ... [14:34] dadehoog: emmm... I've actually done that ;) [14:35] not on purpose [14:35] good morning everybody. [14:35] dadehoog: I see some things in /etc/modprobe.d, but what should go in there to get my modules loaded? Pointers to a web page would be fine. [14:35] hi [14:35] any one has come across a video camera that has a IIR sensor acting like a mouse upon sensing a reflective object (dot) in proximity? [14:36] hey I'm seeing something very strange, any DNS experts here? [14:36] dadehoog: cat /var/log/kern.log in... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49302/ [14:37] I have xtraceroute installed in ubuntu 7.10 64 bit. After performing the trace the earth globe is not plotting the servers. [14:37] Torgoton: alas, I'm not sure exactly ... you'd need to check blacklist (to see if your hardware is being blocked by default), and there are likely to be other files too. Perhaps a search of the forums or the wiki ? I'm afraid I navigate kernel module loading by trial and error largely ... [14:37] todd_: indeed, what does 'lspci' show ? [14:37] todd_: because there's no indication that the kernel has even seen your soundcard is there ... [14:38] pablo: I'm no expert ... but what's up ? [14:38] what is the issue pablo? [14:39] dadehoog: lspci...http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49303/ [14:39] phpeclipse [14:40] dadehoog: oops lspci... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49303/ [14:40] salmenara: do you have a question? [14:40] Do I need to install something extra to make xtraceroute to work, any help is appreciated. [14:40] JonathanD: I got my speakers to work by just messing around with kmix a bit ;) I'm still going to get some powered ones though [14:40] bazhang: Sorry, I was asking to ubout, and forhot to add "/msg ubotu ..."

I have to run. [14:41] how can you explain this given that the record for the domain was updated at the beginning of the month [14:42] bazhang: Do you know any PHP IDE in Gutsy? [14:42] todd_: try running "sudo lsmod snd_ac97_codec" in a terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) [14:42] salmenara: Bluefish is not quite an IDE, but is pretty good. [14:42] Hi, I just installed ubuntu and have enabled xgl with my envidia gpu. How to set it up and learn about it? [14:42] dadehoog: I use Gedit and it is very good to :) [14:43] dadehoog: Does Bluefish have word-completion?? [14:43] when reboot and try to log in from gdm as a regular user account i get the message from gdm that system adminstrator is not allowed to login [14:43] ctr-alt-backspace doesn't fix it but /etc/init.d/gdm restart does [14:43] dadehoog: it says... "Usage: lsmod" when I run "lsmod snd_ac97_codec" [14:43] i don't think i've messed with any config files [14:44] What startup process is responsible for login prompts in 1-4 consoles? === GNUdog_ is now known as GNUdog [14:44] how do I know if my system is 64 bits, on a running ubuntu?

[14:45] todd_: ok, try modprobe instead [14:45] chickenFuego: or x86_64 [14:46] dadehoog, bazhang, did you get a chance to have a look at that? [14:46] tiogoar: ? [14:46] Could you do a safety test on ssh 88.191.41.229 with the login "teasa" and pass "ih9aiKe8". Thanks [14:46] dadehoog: I dont get this???

[14:55] updating Gutsy is breaking my GNOME.. i get an error saying that its unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon' [14:55] i wonna install lamp-server on ubuntu 7.10 [14:55] but [14:56] you could get a torrent with more seeds or a higher seeds to leachers ratio [14:56] there is no package named lamp-server on my repos [14:56] Quiane: google for "how to configure azureus right" and addapt the information to your bt client [14:56] what is repo of lamp-server [14:56] what is repo of lamp-server [14:56] pablo: it all seems ok though ... because a whois on the 206.* points to the co-location server in dallas (207.*) [14:56] sparkymat, do this sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade - if it fails reboot and do it [14:56] or your isp could be throttling your traffic, i always get sweet speeds at 3am [14:56] ok [14:56] pablo: I have an idea .. it's not really DNS related though ... perhaps the server is a virtual server ...? [14:57] dadehoog: I dont see anything??? [14:57] even if the traffic is encrypted? [14:57] dadehoog: yeah, it is [14:57] !lamp | beat_ (and don't repeat please) [14:57] beat_ (and don't repeat please): LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [14:57] @ompaul: but i must say that this is the third time i am doing an update using the update manager and every time my gutsy broke making me re-install [14:57] todd_: run "tail -150 /var/log/syslog" [14:57] sparkymat, have you something like automat something or env y in there? [14:57] nope [14:58] teasa because teasa:x:1003:1003:,,,:/home/teasa:/bin/bash [14:58] pablo: well, if they started out doing co-locations, and then branched out, the actual IP could be 207.* but 206.* is the IP of the virtual machine ..? [14:58] @ompaul, even a fresh/clean install of gutsy broke on my machine when i update.. (64-bit) [14:58] i installed the nvidia driver .. apart from that, it was a clean gutsy [14:58] so the physical interface is the same, but the IP is different ... [14:58] sparkymat, 64 bit yuk - [14:58] sudo tasksel install lamp-server [14:58] tasksel: aptitude failed (100) [14:58] sparkymat, not needed unless you are doing seriously large dbs [14:59] dadehoog: tail -150 /var/log/syslog... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49306/ [14:59] pablo: because if they were different ... the 206.* IP should crash and burn, not resolve calmly to the right place :) [14:59] that does that mean [14:59] ompaul, i know :P but i dont feel like using 32-bit when i can use 64-bit .. and its gotten a lot better than in feisty [14:59] todd_: and kern.log ? [15:00] @ompaul, if nothing else works, i'll drop to 32-bit.. but its frustrating that 64-bit breaks on upgrade and its been a week or 2 without any help in sight [15:00] @ompaul, i tried raising a bug in launchpad, but no one seems to be even assigned to it yet [15:00] @ompaul, i would assume that a clean gutsy breaking on update, would be rather serious [15:00] beat_, below that line there are a list of packages just sudo apt-get install them all [15:01] dadehoog: tail -150 /var/log/kern.log... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49307/ [15:01] dadehoog: the 207 IP is an old ip which is not being used any more... [15:01] sparkymat, you don't need the @ this is irc the grandaddy of IM so by using my nick my client highlights for me [15:02] ompaul, ok .. mine does too :D .. i just noticed that your lines to me are highlighted :) [15:02] dadehoog: but that stuff shouldn't matter, I mean, is the dns infrastructure who is serving the wrong information [15:02] sparkymat, perhaps, make sure you have backed up your own data first [15:02] ompaul, my data is now permanently on my portal hd till this is resolved :( [15:02] been over 2 weeks [15:02] ompaul, been over 2 weeks :( [15:03] todd: Dec 22 07:33:32 linus kernel: [ 43.132774] intel8x0_measure_ac97_clock: measured 54780 usecs Dec 22 07:33:32 linus kernel: [ 43.132779] intel8x0: clocking to 48000 <-- sound card should be working. [15:03] sparkymat, I think we are slightly offtopic as we are not going to solve it from here ;-) [15:03] i am new to ubuntu, is it necessary to install a virus scanner and firewall client...or are these included in the packages installed [15:03] ompaul, ok .. so what do i do now? [15:03] blksoulja0019, neither. [15:03] dadehoog: Ough well, thanks anyway :-( I guess I'm going to get new speekers??? [15:04] blksoulja0019, no need for one [15:04] sparkymat, download a 32bit gutsy and md5sum it and then burn it [15:04] normally you dont need a virus scanner nor firewall blksoulja0019 [15:04] pablo: who else has DNS records for ns1.alfox.net ? [15:04] ompaul, i have it already.. i even have the dvd-edition.. [15:04] ok, thank you for the replies [15:04] ompaul, i am the local ubuntu evangelist :P .. and it looks bad that my ubuntu is broken :D [15:04] sparkymat, reboot and start after a cup of tea/coffee [15:04] dadehoog: I'm not sure [15:04] ompaul, sigh.. guess there's no other go .. [15:04] todd_: I can't see any errors, or anything that indicates that the sound card isn't working ... doesn't mean it is, but I can't really help there ... === tyczek_ is now known as Tyczek [15:05] ompaul: use eggnog :P [15:05] dadehoog: Thanks man.. I am goint to get new speekers, and if that dosent work.... new sound card [15:05] so long folks.. gonna re-install gutsy again for the 4th time in 2 weeks... [15:06] lookie lookie http://tech-talk.biz/2007/12/14/linux-mce-video-demo-impressive/ [15:06] dadehoog: or is that not the right thing to do? [15:06] sparkymat : wha why? [15:06] its sooo cool [15:07] todd_: entirely up to you ... I don't think that card is faulty per se ... but it may be ... does it work in any other OS ? Also, ask your flatmate first ! [15:07] michalski, gutsy is breaking when i update.. every time. .even when the only package i install is the nvidia driver [15:07] michalski, gdm is shot.. sound is shot.. the gnome-settings-daemon seems to be acting weird too [15:07] dadehoog: cool, I will try it off the cd, and ask my flat mate... you rock dude! I really appreciate it! [15:08] todd_: no worries - best of luck ! [15:08] sparkymat : backtrack what you did, the updating works for most people you may be doing something else wrong ;) [15:08] hi, how can i find out if my agp port is 4x or 8x ? [15:08] pablo: who is the upstream DNS for ns1.alfox.net ..? [15:09] pablo: is alfox.net your server(s) ? [15:09] boguh: open up the box and have a look at it? [15:09] michalski, that's what's frustrating... :( .. i do a clean gutsy install.. install nvidia-drivers, update.. and bam! its broken.. started happening from 2 weeks back [15:09] !spam | Ace2016 [15:09] Ace2016: Unsure how you should behave on this channel?

[15:09] dadehoog: it's a client's [15:09] michalski, lemme try 32-bit :( [15:10] pablo: because as far as I can tell ... no-one is actually using ns1.alfox.net ... they're using the ns1.rimulhosting.net DNS server as authoritative [15:10] Ace2016 thought there might be a tool to look [15:10] boguh: and compare against this: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/imageview.php?image=856 [15:10] why the hell does ubuntu truncate long filenames (longer than 64 characters) for windows. the videos i burnt are only playable with open with under windows [15:10] sparkymat : faulty hardware, bios? something :S [15:10] dadehoog: yeah, I know, they are trying to get it working before using it [15:10] sparkymat : are you sure your computer is 64 bit compatible :P [15:10] michalski, i have no clue.. works perfectly fine if i dont update.. been holding off update for the past 1 week.. finally decided that i shud.. [15:10] anyone can help me setting writing permissions to folders? :( i have an HDD mounted as /media/Data but i cant save anything there [15:10] michalski, :P feisty ran well through all the updates [15:11] how do i make the update manager start on login? [15:11] sparkymat: do you frequently mess with your system utils and terminal stuff ? [15:12] sparkymat, i do.. but my point again is that this happened on a clean gutsy.. i updated a clean gutsy and it still broke [15:12] good morning [15:12] how do i raise the windows in the cube effect? [15:12] morning [15:12] my network is broken on my other machine... can't get ip from the router... how do I go about troubleshooting, when I've don the basics (I'm sure the cable works, and I've tried setting static ip etc) [15:12] could someone help me out with nat configs? [15:13] you could try #networking [15:14] I need assistance please. [15:14] michalski, lemme re-install.. 32-bit .. sigh :( .. 64-bit felt more right.. anyways.. bye for now [15:14] Please please [15:14] pablo: ah ok ... it's probably worth chatting to the rimuhosting people, to get them to change the DNS record for the alfox.net domain to recognise ns1.* as a different IP ... [15:14] sparkymat : cya [15:14] !ask | RD579 [15:14] RD579: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [15:14] michalski, bye [15:14] ace2016: was your comment directed to me? [15:14] dadehoog: will try that [15:14] dadehoog: thanks for your help =) [15:15] leaving now [15:15] pablo: I don't think i've been much ... but it seems to me that there's an old DNS record for ns1.alfox knocking around somewhere ... [15:15] pablo: good luck ! [15:15] well that was for kristian__ but i guess you could ask there if people are not afk [15:15] thanks dadehoog =) [15:16] I changed my login to a new theme. When I did everything works fine but when I login my screen turns tan before my desktop shows. I changed my background and I also set a background color. I also set a color to the login in addition to the theme which is also not tan. So where is it getting tan? It does not display tan when I log off and back on using switch users, just when the computer is rebooted. [15:16] whoops [15:16] Hello [15:17] ace2016: perhaps you would kindly provide assistance? [15:17] hey guys, how do i get it to where I can vnc into my remote box regardless of who is logged into it? [15:17] I'm upgrading from LTS to gutsy, and I'm now in ... feisty (7.04). My wifi worked fine in 6.06 and 6.10 but for some reason it won't work in 7.04 [15:17] underdawg run vncserver [15:17] MacTheMad: i don't know about networking, i asked them for help once, on picking routers, they seemed to know a lot about networking [15:18] algunna chica q hable español?

[15:18] ace2016: ty anyway [15:18] RD579: whut [15:18] I changed my login to a new theme. When I did everything works fine but when I login my screen turns tan before my desktop shows.

[15:18] yesh [15:18] hello [15:19] ciao [15:19] RD579: I wasn't ... but I think you need to look at gdm configuration - it sounds as though it's going tan _before_ your window manager is loaded.

Can I put an 8x PCI Express card in a 16x slot? [15:21] tho1: did they have seperate sessions and their own login? or did they login under you?

[15:21] ctothej: you should be able to, yes [15:21] underdawg separate....unless you are screensharing you can't have them all on the same account [15:21] ctothej: it'll just use half the length of the slot [15:22] RD579, playing with gconf-editor may help you [15:22] anyone can help me setting writing permissions to folders? :( i have an HDD mounted as /media/Data but i cant save anything there. im using 7.04 if that helps :/ [15:22] dadehoog : checking [15:22] asas [15:22] what is gconf-editor [15:22] dadehoog: ok great. thanks. I wasn't sure about it. Is it the case that in general any card lower or equal to the pci-e slot you want to put the card into will accept the card?

Not always though ... but in this case, I think the technology is sufficiently similar that it should be ok ... wikipedia may be a more authoritative source though :) [15:23] i downed a movie, but i can't play it [15:23] I'm having problems upgrading from feisty to gutsy [15:24] the reason is that i have a plugin missing [15:24] dadehoog: hes checked it and is 100% sure no fault [15:24] dadehoog: cool ill check it out [15:24] Lava: What type of movie? [15:24] avi [15:24] how can i use vi in the python interpretor? (and other interpreters) [15:24] Lava: What happens when you try to play it?

[15:24] en then There is no plugin to handle this movie. [15:24] Lava: It _should_ ask you if you want to install the necessary codecs to play. [15:24] algunna chica q hable español para privado?

[15:25] i have ubuntu ultimate 1.6 [15:25] n00bie: what kind of other interpreters do you have in mind? you cannot use it from a standard python shell. only from bash/korn/csh etc. kind of interpreters [15:25] Are there known problems with flash plugins and mozilla on gutsy? [15:25] Lava: The easiest way to do it is this: System > Administration > Synaptics Package manager [15:25] can anyone here assist me with a nat config problem or perhaps direct me to another channel where I can? [15:25] dadehoog: hes installing, off of live cd, and it freezes and then he needs to reboot.... [15:26] Malachi, thanks what should i look for there? [15:26] Lava: Then search for ubuntu-restricted-extras [15:26] michalski how much memory in the system? [15:26] how change wine resolution if i can push button apply? [15:27] I can view flash videos from say youtube but I can't do so via video.google.com(the ones that are hosted there) [15:27] michalski: yeah ... it could be an issue with memory, it could be an issue with the cd drive ... it could be a kernel issue with old, old hardware not supported and causing a kernel panic ... [15:27] velko: well, right know i would like to have vi behaviour in the python interpreter... i'm using bash (with vi behaviour) [15:27] any idea as to what would cause that?

[15:28] + in [15:28] dadehoog: checking [15:28] hello! [15:29] dadehoog: as the gateway [15:29] michalski you need 256m ram to install from the live cd. I have forced using 192M, but it wasn't easy [15:29] I cant find the setting if gconf-editor if there is one to fix my problem. [15:29] michalski: it might also be worth running MemTest (off the LiveCD) before trying the next install - just to try and eliminate faulty/stuffed RAM as a possible cause ... [15:29] MacTheMad: ok, what's up ? [15:29] I have question: where can I find package kernel-module-* for vmware-server? In version 7.04 there were all packages, but in 7.10 I can't find - why? [15:29] I have seen Kword integrated into Konqueror, and AbiWord integrated into both Konqueror and Epiphany. Is there anyway to integrate OpenOffice, kword, or abiword into Mozilla Firefox? [15:29] n00bie: i don't think the standard python shell has such keybindings. i'm also a vim fan and type therefore everything in files and execute them merely from the shell [15:30] I can't get gcursor working.

[15:41] erUSUL: I know, but konqueror can read man pages. I am wondering if there ia n extension [15:41] v9 [15:41] cause it cant find it* [15:41] kodram: then try the other methods listed on the wiki [15:41] Don't think you can play .swf files though, but it works in-browser.

[15:42] okey.. i come back i find any other problems ^^ [15:42] any idea how to fix this? [15:43] MacTheMad: ok ... do you want to pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file (remove your eth0 static IP if appropriate) and your iptables script ?

When I play an mp3 in vlc this happens: http://pastebin.ca/828546 [15:46] 1 time is more then enouf [15:47] what I love in ubuntu is that when a usb-drive is plugged in, its partitions are automatically recognized and mounted. I also have some debian systems which, for back-compatibility reasons, cannot be switched to ubuntu. However, I'd like to achieve the same behavior I described. Which packages/kernel-modules would I need? [15:47] dadehoog: generic kernel doesnt boot on my laptop.. goes to busybox prompt... in other forums i found that 386 kernel works [15:47] i've got no sound when playing flash videos [15:47] phretor: not sure exactly ... but you want to look into gnome-volume-manager and dbus [15:48] Bond_: I don't think there are -386 kernel packages for gutsy ... [15:48] phretor: debian sid exhibits the described behaviours per default [15:48] erm.. i want to make the icon of epiphany browser (should be xpm format) to another image. but i could not find the image file... anyidea where is it located?

[16:24] When I boot up, it's fine, but then randomly it loses it [16:24] DiKKy_, you may have to do an lvm, or somehow create the raid before the install, u couldnt install mdadm before the install? it should work to just apt-get it from the livecd [16:24] Can anyone help me troubleshoot? [16:24] sadaiyappan: But in any case, I would suspect that you would have to either reformat or repartition your harddrive. [16:24] learninglinux: you need to give more info [16:24] okay.. [16:24] DiKKy_, but even then, i dont know of the os will see the raid after you install...im pretty noob at these lol [16:24] learninglinux: do you use a wireless card to connect to the internet/network ? [16:24] dadehoog: well 1st I used just firestarter then yesterday people here were telling me to avoid bind & install dnsmasq & ipmasq which I did & tried to configure those... also was trying various settings in gnome network settings then I was trying to edit from the command line in terminal [16:24] nope, it's a wired connection to a wireless router [16:25] i have it set to dhcp === steven_ is now known as sayers [16:25] MacTheMad: OK ... open up firestarter ... [16:25] and on the router, i've given it a manually assigned address -- 192.168.11.7 [16:25] the thing is, right now i can't even ping the router at 192.168.11.1 [16:25] MacTheMad: and click Firewall->Run Wizard [16:25] looking for (child-suitable) games that run well on old hardware. frozen bubble, robots, etc., work well, but looking for new ones to try. super tux / rrootage were too slow. if there's a list somewhere, that would be great [16:25] sadaiyappan: On another note, You can make ubuntu *look* like a mac leopard. :) [16:26] eww [16:26] bazhang, i'm happy to give info, just not sure what you need, because I don't really have an idea of what's wrong [16:26] learninglinux: but you're here ... on another machine ? [16:26] what do you do when you can't see anything on the desktop [16:26] hi usr13 i'm kr0n1x... remember me? with the ssh problem... [16:26] yes, running windows, on another machine sitting right next to the linux box [16:26] dadehoog: ok... I'm there now what [16:26] learninglinux: best to listen to dadehoog [16:26] MacTheMad: ok, on the "what is your internet connected device" select "eth0" [16:26] where can I change artsd's default command line? I want fewer fragments/less latency. [16:27] anyone know why my transmitted bytes resets when it hits 4,300,000,000 bytes? was watching netstat..... [16:27] MacTheMad: and make sure that the "IP address is assigned by DHCP" box is NOT checked. [16:27] J-E-L-L-0: that looks like a 32 bit integer overflow. what tool do you use? [16:27] do you now if im able tu use amarok on ubuntu ? [16:27] does anyone hear me? [16:27] dadehoog: already selected plus the Start on dial-out is checked [16:27] gimpy21G: yes [16:27] thanks [16:27] treetop: yes [16:27] ok treetop [16:27] treetop: no [16:27] yea [16:28] learninglinux: ok, can you open a terminal on the linux machine ? and run "ifconfig" ? [16:28] soft: have tried a couple differnt ones, does it on both [16:28] yup [16:28] what is your problem? [16:28] MacTheMad: ok UNCHECK both boxes. [16:28] dadehoog: no it's not because I have a static ip [16:28] dadehoog, let me type out the response (sorry) [16:28] dadehoog: ok, done [16:28] I suppose then that no one has had the problem of not being able to see the gnome desktop. [16:28] excuse me, I am having trouble setting a cursor [16:28] yes i have are you on a live cd? [16:28] learninglinux: ok, just tell me what the main devices are ..? eth0 ? [16:28] dadehoog, eth0 and lo [16:29] treetop: alt-f2 bring anything up? [16:29] eth0 is set ti inet addr of 192.168.11.7 [16:29] saxony: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash [16:29] no, I installed but had a crash and neither boot procedure allows me to see the desktop [16:29] Could someone put the following link in the topic? [16:29] Bug #173890 flashplugin-nonfree md5sum mismatch support thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 [16:29] hmm [16:29] MacTheMad: ok, next screen "Enable ICS", and set the "Local area network device" to eth1, Enable DHCP should be CHECKED, [16:29] do you get the text though? [16:29] treetop, can you boot to terminal? [16:30] dadehoog with a static ip learninglinux is going to have to manually define his routes and dns [16:30] is there an op in here ? [16:30] dadehoog: yes on all 3 [16:30] The flash package really ought to be fixed by now... [16:30] and were you mid-upgrade when it crashed? [16:30] learninglinux: ok ... what does "route -n" say ? [16:30] tho1: exactly :) [16:30] jamiejackson: yes I can and have gotten to terminal with ctrl-alt-f1 [16:30] tho1, i can enable dhcp, but it was on dhcp, when it stopped working [16:30] I have a problem with my movieplayers. They will not give me picture in the file they are playing. Im using my flat-tv as a screen, but that shouldt be a reason not to play the movie? [16:30] MacTheMad: ok, what's on the next screen ? [16:30] dadehoog, 3 lines [16:31] were you mid-install when it crashed, treetop? [16:31] try this: type "startx" [16:31] dadehoog, 192.168.11.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 etho0 [16:31] dadehoog: do I need to change DHCP server details 1st? [16:31] dadehoog 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth0 [16:31] mikeylikesit: it tells me that the server is already active [16:32] MacTheMad: I can't enable them here to walk through with you (don't have a dhcp server running on my laptop :)) - what are the options ? [16:32] dadehoog, 0.0.0.0 192.168.11.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0 [16:32] dadehoog, and the top line, if you need it: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface [16:32] learninglinux: ok, and what does "cat /etc/resolv.conf" show ? [16:33] hi folks,, have a problem with games,, when i have synergy running, i can't run a full screen game,, i get issues with the position of the game window, it appears high and to the left(direction of other pc) [16:33] can I safely delete /etc/fstab? [16:33] dadehoog, 2 lines 1: search buffalo.rr.com 2:nameserver 192.168.11.1 [16:33] Jasnation definitely not [16:33] dadehoog: keep existing DHCP configuration or Create a new one... currently set to low:192.168.3.1 high:192.168.3.254 & name server to har.onecommunications.net [16:33] I also keep getting Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" not available or load failed. [16:33] how can I recreate fstab? [16:34] MacTheMad: sounds perfect. click next ... [16:34] if i can't fix this, can i switch games which default from full screen to window'd mode? [16:34] Jasnation: no ... don't delete /etc/fstab. [16:34] dadehoog: ok it want's to start the firewall [16:34] MacTheMad: ok, try it :) [16:34] Jasnation fstab defines the mount options for all your drives. Be very careful editing it, and under no circumstances delete it or you won't be able to boot [16:34] dadehoog, does it mean anything that the route -n's first entry is 192.168.11.0, though that's not actually a valid anything? [16:34] is there a way to force a game like say, warzone 2100, into wondow'd mode, i don't see an option in the game options,, but a Xorg method to force it? [16:35] treetop: that's your wireless driver, that shouldn't matter yet [16:35] learninglinux: it is a valid anything ... it's the subnet for your network ... [16:35] dadehoog, oh, thanks [16:35] tho1: can I delete part of it? the /dev/sda5 part that refers to the swap partition [16:35] learninglinux: it means all (potentially 255) interfaces with IPs between 192.168.11.1 and 192.168.11.255 [16:35] Jasnation no, linux requires a swap partition [16:35] learninglinux: *254 [16:36] Jasnation why do you want to change it? [16:36] Hi. After opening any application I get an error saying Could not find mime type application/octet-stream [16:36] dadehoog, ok, that makes sense [16:36] jamiejackson: no, i've got a pavilion and it just dies sometimes requireing me to cold power down. it's one of those hp has been sued for due to bad hardware. i've just lived with it. [16:36] dadehoog: well everything seemed to go ok but the machine behind this one still can't pull donw an ip [16:36] tho1: the swap isn't working [16:36] dadehoog: brb [16:36] MacTheMad: ok ... first things first ... [16:36] Jasnation: yes you can. linux does _not_ require swap partition. it just recommends one [16:36] Hmm.. Not sure that Linux REQUIRES a swap partition. but it is sure handy. [16:36] tho1: ubuntu won't utilize it, and it crashes when I hibernate [16:36] you can make a swap file also if you want. [16:36] looking for (child-suitable) games that run well on old hardware. frozen bubble, robots, etc., work well, but looking for new ones to try. super tux / rrootage were too slow. if there's a list somewhere, that would be great. anybody got suggestions? or a suggestion on a better channel? [16:36] when you Hibernate thats another story [16:36] what does swap file do ? [16:37] MacTheMad: Can you ping the internet from the gateway? Can you ping the eth1 interface from the gateway? Can you ping another machine from the gateway ? [16:37] jamiejackson: the tuxtyping games are great [16:37] treetop: have you looked through the logs in terminal? [16:37] jamiejackson: How about wormux, kde games suite, barrage [16:38] jamiejackson: I figured that. I can't bring up the button anyway because it won't power on. What I can't see is the desktop. The memory for it is available. I have a double head system and I can see the mouse on both, just nothing else. [16:38] dadehoog, ok, i think i've figured it out -- i stopped shorewall, and it works [16:38] I have 4m total swap, 0 used, and 4m free. I have recreated the swap partition, remounted it, etc, but it still doesn't work [16:38] though i'm completely baffled as to why shorewall would block outgoing connectiosn [16:38] oh, you have panels, but not desktop [16:38] no [16:39] Jasnation a 4m swap...how much ram do you have? [16:39] learninglinux: ok ... that's your issue - you need to configure shorewall to trust the 192.168.11.0 subnet ... (or at least, the static IP assigned to the Ubuntu machine) so that it will NAT appropriately [16:39] jamiejackson: i'm too new and i can't remember what their names are and where they're located [16:39] Jasnation: how do you recreated it? mkswap /dev/something; swapon /des/something? === dadehoog is now known as dadehoog|brb [16:39] tho1: 4 million something. I have 2gb ram, and the swap is 4gb [16:39] velko: yes I've done that [16:39] thanks for the games suggestions, bazhang, Odd-rationale, keep em comin if you know more [16:39] dadehoog, thanks [16:40] jimmy__, ?? [16:40] Jasnation: and "free" does not show the swap? have you got any error messages? [16:40] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-8897.html also here jamiejackson [16:40] tho1: velko: in fstab, it says # Entry for /dev/ !! UNKNOW DEVICE !! : [16:40] dadehoog -- are you familiar at all with shorewall? or should i go back to my googlefu [16:40] velko: free says I have 4gb of free swap, and 0 being used [16:40] Jasnation: so it worked [16:41] jamiejackson, kids are probably too sophisticate nowadays, but I still like atc and mille from the bsdgames package. OLD old school. [16:41] ,,,cateD [16:41] velko: but its not being used, and I can't hibernate [16:41] http://ubuntukids.org/blog/?cat=11 and here jamiejackson [16:41] Jasnation: to make this change persistent you have to correct your fstab entry [16:41] my kids arent sophisticated, Torgoton [16:41] heh [16:41] velko: how do I correct fstab? [16:41] hey all. I'm trying to configure ethernet bridging on a remote server, unfortunately, every time I execute the bridge utilities, I lose my connection and I have to have the system reloaded (hosted by godaddy) any ideas how to configure this bridge on a remote host? [16:42] Jasnation: it worked. that you cannot hibernate does not mean that your swap is not used [16:42] dadehoog: ok, back now... sorry, had to take a call [16:42] velko: how can I correct the fstab entry? [16:42] Jasnation: you already found the relevant line. just make sure it speicfies not the "unknown device" but the one you used with "mkswap" and "swapon" [16:42] treetop: i think /var/log/messages , someone correct me if i'm wrong [16:43] also, maybe dmesg command, treetop? [16:43] i'm new to linux logging too [16:43] How do I get to my nvidia control panel? [16:44] nvidia has a linux control panel? [16:44] hi [16:44] yes [16:44] RD579: nvidia-settings [16:44] dadehoog: yes I can ping the internet (google.com) but I don't think I can ping the other machine as it's still unable to pull down an ip [16:44] hey guys after having my system booted for 2 or 3 days when I try to play a xvid after playing like 20 movies or so im getting a pink screen on all my players I can hear sound but the video is just pink if I reboot it fixs the issue who's got some ideas on what I can restart to fix this issue with out reboot [16:44] quick question: why would the root servers by authoritative for a nameserver? how can that be configured? [16:44] and to get to it do what odds just said [16:44] jamiejackson: that's sure a number of them. i also looked in /etc too [16:44] thanks odd [16:45] velko: so I changed it to /dev/sda5. if I restart and then try to hibernate, it should work? [16:45] dadehoog: I'm communicating to you from the gateway machine... please don't tell me that's the problem [16:45] ZeeO: compiz enabled? [16:45] yes [16:45] Jasnation: your swap should be used by the kernel. if hibernation will work is a completely different question [16:45] that a compiz issue? [16:45] ZeeO: try disabling it first then run again [16:45] velko: how do I insure that hibernation will work? [16:46] what's the easyest way to trun it off for a min or 2 [16:46] just kill it? [16:46] did they point to any problems, treetop? [16:47] will my ubuntu 7.04 dell hsf modem driver for winmodem work on xubuntu 7.10 or only on ubuntu 7.04? [16:47] ZeeO: alt f2 metacity --replace [16:47] Jasnation: i'm the wrong person to answer this question. hibernation does not work with my laptop (sony vgn890e). i contacted the developers of s2swap but this is still tricky to get right... [16:47] jamiejackson: not that I can see. i get a background but nothing else. [16:47] deniz_: Both. [16:48] does anyone know if you can get scale in compiz with gutsy to pickup minimized windows? [16:48] Malachi, omg :D are you sure tho? [16:48] abcdefg: you try it yet? [16:48] treetop: good luck, i've exceeded my usefulness [16:48] jamiejackson: this occurred the other day and I didn't document how i recovered. with brain fade i don't remember as well anymore. [16:48] dadehoog: are you still there? [16:48] deniz_: If you have the driver for one distribution, it should work for all. [16:48] bazhang: Um yea? Why else would I be asking [16:49] So I had installed Beryl + Emerald under Feisty and I had all kinds of effects available (for minimizing windows, etc) - now that I've installed Gutsy they're all gone. The only effects I have are the desktop cube and wobbly windows. ;_; [16:49] abcdefg: no idea [16:49] abcdefg: I've been wondering that too. I know it used to. [16:49] I thought there was some kind of config option in compiz manger to tell it to grab minimized windows [16:49] !ccsm | gumpish [16:49] Malachi, thanks so much for telling me because I wasn't moving to xubuntu this whole time cuz i thot id have problems [16:49] gumpish: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [16:49] ah, many thanks [16:50] no worries [16:50] MacTheMad: just got back ... [16:50] abcdefg: Yes, it can! === dadehoog|brb is now known as dadehoog [16:50] dadehoog: ok, n/p [16:50] abcdefg: Do you have the Advance Desktop Settings program? [16:50] learninglinux: ok ... that's your issue - you need to configure shorewall to trust the 192.168.11.0 subnet ... (or at least, the static IP assigned to the Ubuntu machine) so that it will NAT appropriately [16:51] oops ... wrong old message :x [16:51] MacTheMad: Can you ping the internet from the gateway? Can you ping the eth1 interface from the gateway? Can you ping another machine from the gateway ? [16:51] bazhang says unable to open x window [16:51] ccd2iso says "Error: cannot open source file for reading!" :( [16:51] Malachi: Yea, I go to the scale plugin and I can't seem to find an option to pick up minimized windows [16:52] I'm trying to convert an .img file to .iso format [16:52] in order to burn it [16:52] but just switching to shell and back to X seems to have fixed the issue [16:52] on playback [16:52] abcdefg: Go to the actions tab. Set the shortcut for All Windows instead of the current one. [16:52] Malachi: Do you have to upgrade the version to something outside of the normal repositories to get a newer version [16:52] branstrom: you don't have to. just burn it if it's an cd/dvd image file [16:52] dadehoog: internet (google.com) yes, gateway (192.168.3.1) yes, other machine I don't think so as it still can't pull down an ip [16:53] velko: it's an .img file [16:53] abcdefg: Yes, but you should be able to do what I just said with this current version. [16:53] MacTheMad: ok ... what software is running on the other machine ? [16:53] Brasero couldn't burn it, dunno if any program can [16:53] branstrom: well, just burn it [16:53] velko: I tried to [16:53] Malachi: my current thing is set on initiate window picker for all windows and it doesn't grab minimized :/ [16:53] dadehoog: windows xp [16:53] abcdefg: Oh. And you got rid of the existing shortcut? [16:53] MacTheMad: ok, on the WindowsXP box ... what are the settings ? [16:54] exit [16:54] dadehoog, thanks very much for your help [16:54] Malachi: it won't let me completely disable it, but the shortcuts are different [16:54] dadehoog, happy holidays [16:54] learninglinux: no worries - and to you ! [16:54] velko: there's no way to burn it - so I'm trying to convert it to an .iso [16:55] But ccd2iso says "Error: cannot open source file for reading!" [16:55] branstrom: permission problem? [16:55] abcdefg: Yeah, you're right....it's not working for me either. :\ [16:55] abcdefg: I'm not sure, then. [16:55] velko and branstrom: yeah, or a path problem ... [16:55] dadehoog: FYI, I added "pcmcia" and "i82365" the the lonely "lp" that was in /etc/modules. Now my NIC is brought up at startup. Woo! [16:55] dadehoog: well it's set to obtain an ip address automatically, dns is configured to service providers ip's & gateway is set to 192.168.3.1 [16:56] Torgoton: fantastic :) [16:56] how can I schedule an automatic backup of my files? [16:56] Torgoton: nice work [16:56] abcdefg: You could try running the version 6.0, though... [16:56] bazhang: Thanks! [16:56] Torgoton: I wonder why Ubuntu wasn't able to probe the devices and load the kernel modules automatically ..? [16:56] * nomentero is away: No estoy:-( [16:56] MacTheMad: ok ... so try and lease an IP from 192.168.3.1 [16:56] Also FYI, on this old old machine, boot up to login prompt takes about 8 minutes, and after hitting enter for my password the first time, the MOTD appears right away, but the prompt takes 27 seconds to appear. [16:56] velko: it is -rwxrwxrwx [16:57] Malachi: Yea, that's what I read, how do upgrade that, cause the version installed is prior 6.0, but it doesn't find any new updates for me [16:57] dadehoog: ^ [16:57] dadehood: I think it had to do with my absolute minimal install. There's not much documentation on that. [16:57] branstrom: and you specified the right path to the file (as dadehoog suggested)? [16:57] dadehoog, rather ^ [16:57] dadehoog: I've tried that several times now & it just won't pull down an ip automatically... do you want me to try it from the command line? [16:58] Torgoton: could well be ... but even so ... the kernel shouldn't be cut down too much with a minimal install ! [16:58] abcdefg: I haven't upgraded, so I can't help you there... === uid0 is now known as [uid0] [16:58] MacTheMad: yeah, from a shell would be good [16:58] velko: I'm standing in the right dir [16:58] just naming the file [16:58] dadehoog, bazhang, now to write it up on thinkwiki! [16:58] Torgoton: fantastic :) [16:58] Torgoton: great idea and thanks! [16:58] Gutsy update manager has continuously showed a 'Distribution Update' for 'gnome-themes-extras' from 0.9.0-5 to 2.20-0ubuntu1 - but its grayed out, I can never select it. What gives? [16:58] BTW, how does one do updates from the command line? === [uid0] is now known as uid-0 [16:59] Torgoton: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade --purge [16:59] sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade Torgoton [16:59] which package can i remove so all the graphical stuff goes away? [16:59] both gnome and kde? [16:59] doesn't apt-get upgrade move me to the next version? I'm afraid the kernel will crash ..... [16:59] Torgoton: no [16:59] Stavros: remove the x libraries... [16:59] Torgoton: only if you've changed your repositories [16:59] use dist-upgrade to upgrade the kernel [17:00] Torgoton: no just updates current packages [17:00] ahhhh. excellent. [17:00] LjL: I have, but it didn't get removed :/ [17:00] Torgoton: that's apt-get dist-upgrade [17:00] Why are people still using apt-get when there is aptitude? [17:00] branstrom: not everyone has a GUI ... [17:00] I just now installed ubuntu and I am loving it . [17:00] one problem is I am not able to write into usb pen drives. says its read-only. [17:00] habit? [17:00] how can I automatically back up my files? [17:00] how can I get ubutnu over the hole screen? [17:00] dadehoog: aptitude is console too [17:00] branstrom: i'm not familiar with ccd2iso. maybe you have to specify the input file like "-i file" or something similar? did you checked the sysntax of the tool? or did you tried via nautils/brasero/k3b? [17:00] Stavros: note the x *libraries*, not the x *server*. i suspect libx11-6 would do it for instance [17:00] dadehoog: aptitude is a CLI program [17:00] now its in the middle [17:00] kavoor: what filesystem is the pen drive using ? FAT32 or NTFS ? [17:01] kavoor: for some reason FAT32 isn't working for me either === farhan is now known as B-rabbit [17:01] branstrom: is ccd2iso a burn application at all? [17:01] dadehoog: vfat [17:01] velko: ccd2iso converts the file [17:01] Stavros: I think removing gnome-desktop and kde-desktop should do it. Anyone want to confirm that for me? [17:01] branstrom: the advantages of aptitude are mostly pretty negligible (and some people report misbehaviors, although i've never experienced any), except for searching [17:02] kavoor: what does "ls -l /media" show ? [17:02] dadehoog: hmmm... something weird going on there... still can't pull down an ip but there's now something coming up about a "Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface that never came up before [17:02] ls -l /media [17:02] MacTheMad: that's a new one on me ... [17:02] branstrom: where did you get this file? downloaded some linux image from the internet? or created it with dd? [17:02] Well, it appears that since I did a net install, all the latest packages have already been installed. Apt-get update && apt-get upgrade reported zeroes for everything. cool. [17:02] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/backup-and-restore-your-ubuntu-system-using-sbackup.html jp30 [17:02] dadehoog: drwx------ 6 aditya root 16384 1970-01-01 05:30 disk [17:02] LjL: I thought it had better handling of dependencies and such [17:02] thank you [17:03] MacTheMad: ok, on the gateway, have a look at the /var/log/daemon.log file ... anything in there about dhcp issues ? [17:03] Stavros: ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop rather. [17:03] anyone know which package i can remove to have all graphics removed? [17:03] wweasel: i did that :/ [17:03] That's why I'm using it. And, well, just because when I installed Debian they said it was what you should be using. [17:03] branstrom: not really. it is able to track and then remove unused dependencies, but that feature is now built into APT itself (in Ubuntu) === _Lucretia is now known as _Lucretia_ [17:03] Stavros: they're metapackages. did you just remove them, or all the things they depend on as well? [17:03] grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr [17:03] Stavros: as an ugly hack, try removing libtiff [17:03] grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr [17:03] LjL: so why is it there at all? [17:03] branstrom: but Ubuntu is not Debian. dependency tracking was added to the Ubuntu version of APT. [17:03] Stavros: xserver-xorg, xfonts-*dpi gdm [17:03] wweasel: well, i did aptitude remove, i don't know what that removed [17:03] grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr [17:03] ah, thanks [17:03] ugh [17:03] weasel, what the hell? [17:04] ls -0weasel please dont do that [17:04] LjL: I want to shame wweasel into getting a sane nick [17:04] hasta start looking up [17:04] OK. So now after a nine-hour install and configure, I should probably take a backup. But then: Should I dist-upgrade? [17:04] weasel is angry about my nick. which is unfortunate, but I use this nick on pretty much everything, so I don't feel like it. [17:04] /j xchat [17:04] velko: tried that, none are installed :/ [17:04] sorry weasel... [17:04] wweasel: wweasel: thats great, but this is a support channel, please do this elsewhere. [17:04] Stavros: and you still have graphical environment? [17:05] how can I get ubuntu full-screen? [17:05] it's not like here for my entertainment [17:05] Pici: agreed. [17:05] +I'm [17:05] is there some easy howto for cinelerra & 64bit gutsy? [17:05] Torgoton, Id backup now . and then do dist upgrades . better safe than sorry [17:05] wow, removing libtiff is doing something [17:05] weasel, get your client to only highlight your nickname if it's not surrounded by other alphanumerics [17:05] velko: i have the packages, not the environment [17:05] dadehoog: drwx------ 6 aditya root 16384 1970-01-01 05:30 disk [17:05] not acceptable [17:05] Stavros: yeah, it's a dependency for X ... [17:06] kavoor: and you're operating as the "aditya" user ? [17:06] crush_groove: I will backup, but my questions was more WHETHER to even bother with a dist-upgrade on this old machine. The feisty and gutsy netboot files crashed on it. [17:06] dadehoog: yes [17:06] Torgoton if it aint broke.................... [17:06] dadehoog: unfortunately it told me that other packages had an unmet dependency, but didn't offer to remove them [17:06] tempting... [17:06] Stavros: i was left with the impression that you are asking which packages to remove in order not to have graphical environment any more. did i misunderstood you? [17:06] haha [17:07] kavoor: ok, have a look in /var/log/syslog for any indication of why the filesystem won't mount read/write ... [17:07] Torgoton: no! [17:07] hahaha! [17:07] branstrom: many packages are there that are alternatives to other packages. [17:07] hello. gutsy, openarena, gnome-screensaver: when I use openarena, gnome-screensaver won't detect keyboard/mouse activity and it will start the screensaver at the configured timeout. Is this a known issue? [17:07] velko: hmm, i didn't say it correctly. i want all the graphical packages to be removed, not just the environment [17:07] Stavros: odd ... it should have done ... [17:07] branstrom: and aptitude is certainly superior to apt-get when it comes to searches, for instance. [17:07] well, to apt-cache [17:07] Anyone have a dell printer that works in linux ? im looking at buying one [17:08] velko: all the packages that depend on X, that is [17:08] bazhang: OK, I'll let it rest for now. Much too much to do this weekend anyway. The upgrade can wait. [17:08] dadehoog: didn't see anything that mentioned dhcp per se but there's over 350 lines... a lot of the referring to dnsmasq [17:08] Torgoton: enjoy it, then break it :} [17:08] MacTheMad: ok ... is there a directory under /var/log called dhcp or dhcpd ? [17:09] Right. Thanks gang. Joyous holidays to all. [17:09] cheers Torgoton [17:09] How can i reset my screen options? Im using my flat-tv as screen and now its shaking. I tried to change the graphics card and i didnt even get the "test" option and it choosed it. It just set some driver or something, and startet shaking. [17:09] same to you Torgoton [17:10] does the MBR on hda (xp) matter if i've chosen in bios to boot from hdb (ubuntu) and then in grub i chose to boot windows which is hda? .. =D [17:10] dadehoog: nope, don't see any [17:10] Stavros: well if you have used aptitude to install the packages, it will deinstall all automaticlly installed dependencies. this is the only dpkg frontend which does this. if you haven't used aptitude your sole option will be to mark _all_ packages as installed automatically and then mark every one you want to keep as installed manually. but this is a lot of work and you can hose your system if you don't know what you are doing exactly [17:10] !res > RandyboY [17:10] zarac- I don't think so [17:10] MacTheMad: ok ... what about syslog ? [17:10] zarac-, ive seen some bios's however 'switch' drives around when booting that way. hda can become hdb. [17:10] velko: i installed the standar ubuntu install and i wanted to remove desktop afterwards because it's headless, and i don't need the packages. i'm using aptitude for everything, though [17:10] dadehoog: goes from debug to dmesg.3... no dhcp listed [17:11] neither did i... but i can't get windows to boot just through changing grub/menu.lst ... think i've tried everything =D [17:11] velko: can i mark everything as automatically installed and remove a package the graphical ones depend on? [17:11] MacTheMad: ok, just to be on the safe side, run sudo /etc/init.d/firestarter restart before we do anything else [17:11] yeah Dr_willis .. think mine does that [17:11] zarac-, so you are not crazy :) heh heh... [17:11] Stavros: so you should not have any more graphical packages on your system any more (this is if you have deinstalled the ones i mentioned) [17:11] zarac-, took me a week to figure out what was going on with my system [17:11] dadehoog: it says write protect off .. when I search for SanDisk [17:12] i've tried all hda(0-2,0) in menu.lst .. no luck =/ [17:12] hehe =D [17:12] dadehoog: yes there's syslog & syslog.0 & then there's syslog.1.gz thru syslog.6.gz [17:12] velko: but i do :/ [17:12] Stavros: in aptitude to to "installed packages" and press M [17:12] i have some kde stuff [17:12] sec [17:12] Stavros: this will mark all packages in the section "installed" as automatically installed [17:12] how did you solve it Dr_willis ? [17:12] Stavros velko are you sure you can boot into a terminal? In suse and others there is a run level for non-graphic, but in Ubuntu all the runlevels are for a desktop [17:12] MacTheMad: yeah, tail -n 150 /var/log/syslog |less will show you what's in there ... (press q to exit when you've seen enough, and up/down to move around) [17:13] Stavros: be careful. some packges really _need_ to be there in order for your system to work at all [17:13] Argh. The .img was simply a renamed .iso [17:13] zarac-, I dident actually. :) i have linux and its mbr on hdb - that is ONLY used to boot linux. if wanted windows i hit f11 at boot up and selected the other hd. [17:13] hi... what are my options if ubuntu doesnt pick up my hsync/vres correctly? [17:13] velko, dadehoog: ^ [17:14] branstrom: ah ... that's why it couldn't find an appropriate input file :) [17:14] is there any program available for ubuntu that would make screens of movie? (that little thumbnail view of a movie) [17:14] zarac-, if you install an os however whith the 2 drives switched.. it can confuse some things.. but since ubuntu uses the UUID - its not much if an issues these days. [17:14] velko: yes, i'll be careful not to remove those [17:14] dadehoog: someone last night wanted me to do something where I needed to enter the "vertical line" & I don't know how to do that [17:14] jed: manually edit your xorg [17:14] velko: i did what you said [17:14] !fixres | jed [17:14] jed: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [17:14] jack: i have no idea what the hsync/vres settings are for my monitor. couldnt find that info online either [17:14] Jack_Sparrow: 5 year old laptop lcd, absolutely no info on it anywhere :( [17:15] I'm having problems downloading an image of Studio Ubuntu [17:15] jed, this is a crt monitor? [17:15] jed: You really need to have that or accept the defaults... [17:15] MacTheMad: ok ... you mean the "|" character ? it's probably on you keyboard with the "\" key ... hold down shift, and press the "\" key. [17:15] Dr_willis: laptop lcd [17:15] jed: What make and model [17:15] wow [17:15] Stavros: which you good luck. it's funny the first time you do this. i received messages like "please type 'i am aware that i know that i am doing something really stupid right now' in order to remove this package". have fun :-) [17:15] Jack_Sparrow: compaq evo n800c [17:15] jed even after you take it out and look at the back ( the white part after you dis-hinge it) ? [17:15] "remove kubuntu-desktop" printed a whole list of packages, i'm on the right track it seems [17:15] thanks :) [17:15] jed you might try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh'...but no guarantee [17:15] Delvien: i *REALLY* dont want to take apart my laptop [17:16] jed: let me see what I can find.. [17:16] dadehoog: ah, ok ty [17:16] jed then you wont be able to find the maker [17:16] oh man, it removes stuff i want to keep :/ [17:16] Stavros: pressing "m" (this is small caps m) marks a package as manually installed [17:16] jed, LCD's are normally 60 for the refresh rate. then ya got the res. Is this widescreen? is it NOT working at all? or just not widescreen? [17:16] jed compaqs utilize 3 diff companies to make their screens , samsung and 2 others i dont remember [17:16] velko: yes, i have to do it for each one though :/ [17:16] thol: tried that, it comes up with what i have now... [17:16] Dr_willis not for 5 year old laptops [17:16] does reinstalling also mark it as manual? [17:17] Dr_willis in fact i have a 2003 ibm 40 that has a refresh rate of 50 [17:17] MacTheMad: that's called the "pipe" operator ... [17:17] on 1024, the screen is shifted left by about 2" (meaning the left side of my screen isnt on the monitor and i have a black bar on the right) and all text/lines are fuzzy [17:17] he never stated the age.. :) or did he. [17:17] Stavros: i think so. but you don't have to do it for every single one. get frist the "key" packges. they will pull all they dependencies [17:17] How do I check the amount of data in a folder thru the terminal? [17:17] dadehoog: ok, all kinds of stuff there [17:17] on 800x600 its somewhat managable, 640x480 looks like total shit [17:17] There is that xmodeline generator web site also. that can help make the proper modelines. [17:18] velko: figures, thanks a lot [17:18] I found it... "du -h" did it [17:18] Hi, [17:18] hello [17:18] dadehoog: do you want me to pastebin the output? [17:18] ir 800x600 is working. You proberly just need to enter the proper res's in the xorg.conf. Hopefully. :) [17:18] MacTheMad: would be good :) [17:18] hehe Dr_willis .. ok... yeah i kinda want that.. but both MBR's are messed up... =D i had arch linux installed earlier and that i had install mbr on the winxp hdd =D [17:18] someone know where i can look so i can get my comp to play DVD's? [17:18] I went to the Ubuntu Studio web site but I could not work out which image to download [17:18] windego40: get VLC [17:19] !dvd | windego40 [17:19] windego40: 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 [17:19] Dr_willis: im on 1024 right now, it *works*, just looks rather shitty and i cant really work like this [17:19] !ohmy | jed [17:19] jed: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [17:19] thank you [17:20] no problem :} [17:20] jimmy__, did you read me for the bug fix? [17:20] dadehoog: is there a way to select all the text (like windows)? it'll only let me highlight down to the bottom of the page but won't advance to the next screen [17:21] does "pull" update the working copy if it hasn't diverged? [17:21] sorry, wrong chan [17:21] is there a smart way to guess what your monitors hsync/vref are? [17:21] MacTheMad: ok, press "q", then run the command again without "piping" to less (eg. run tail -n 150 /var/log/syslog) [17:21] jed: you have consulted a prominent search engine on this computer? that should have it [17:22] jed: let X probe your monitor, or ... from the manufacturer's website, and occasionally, they're written on the monitor. [17:22] can anyone tell me why i dont see a shared windows folder from my ubuntu box? [17:22] bazhang: yes [17:22] jed: problems with widescreen? [17:22] dade: X did probe my monitor and it resulted it something that sorta works but is still unacceptable [17:22] zenerek: no, plain old 1024x768 [17:22] what? [17:23] jed is this a problem with text mode? [17:23] jed or is your desktop messed up too? [17:23] thol: its a problem in X [17:23] everything in X looks fuzzy and im missing about 2" of screen space [17:23] http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11344_na/11344_na.html jed? [17:23] anyone here ever got the BBC sites radio player to work? im having problems with it [17:24] i'm looking for some insight here, please [17:24] how can I list files and exclude all files that are .jpg [17:24] !pastebin [17:24] baz: yes, the screen is the 15-inch TFT XGA w/ 1024x768 [17:24] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [17:24] jed: yes, but you asked for the "smart" way :) [17:24] I know there is some way to do it with grep [17:24] hello [17:24] jed: you using a monitor? [17:24] 1400 x 1050 jed [17:24] can anyone advise a good repository for amsn (lastest version) for ubuntu 7.10? [17:24] baz: trust me, it maxes out at 1024x768 :) [17:24] when im selecting a partition to install ubuntu, theres an option logical n something wat is tat [17:25] zene: laptop lcd screen [17:25] jed: www.hardware-reselling.de/ProductLinks/Compaq%20Evo%20Notebook%20N800c.pdf [17:25] dadehoog: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49320/ [17:25] noiano: does it have to be amsn? you could go get pidgin that works well [17:25] jed this is a compaq right? [17:25] yes [17:25] jed: the manufacturer would disagree :} [17:25] EtteSB, I love amsn :) [17:25] Noian: ithink everyone here is wrapped up in this monitor discussion [17:25] err [17:25] jed: You said you couldnt find anything on your laptop.. that is the manual for it [17:25] 14" [17:25] I know this is not relevant but maybe someone knows. anyone has experience with manual backup of harddrives from hp laptops? I got some issue with \Windows\System32\LogFiles\WMI\Rtbackup being 100% locked [17:25] noiano: meh, i liked pidgin when i got it so i've never tried it :3 [17:25] jack: yes, i found that before but it doesnt have the hsync/vref [17:26] EtteSB, :) [17:26] jed my server is an old compaq 1280 (800x600). don't know if it will help, but those settings are 28-40 horiz and 43-60 vert [17:26] jed: IT is standard xga tft [17:26] jed: have you tried the reconfigure xorg thing? [17:26] jack: whats the hsync/vref for those? [17:26] Azjo: ask in ##windows unless there is ubuntu on there [17:26] zenerek: yes [17:26] thol: thanks, i'll give it a shot [17:27] can anyone help me figure out why i cant see a shared Windows folder from my ubuntu box? [17:27] boodah: using samba? [17:28] not sure, realtively new to linux. is it installed natively or do i ned to get it from repo [17:28] MacTheMad: ok ... looks ok there ... in the sense that packets are being inspected and passed on, etc. I can't see any dhcp or dhcp error information though ... [17:28] boodah: ntfs on the windows machine? [17:28] boodah look at fusesmb...it is easy to use ... almost a nobrainer [17:29] ntfs, yes [17:29] brb, trying thol's settings [17:29] MacTheMad: is there any firewall software running on the Windows XP machine? [17:29] is winamp available for linux? [17:29] EtteSB: no [17:29] well the truth is i had to edit a custom xorg file to get 1280x720 to work for my hdtv, all i had to know was those numbers vert horz then input into this generator and i pasted it in xork and defined the resolutions [17:29] !players > EtteSB (EtteSB, see the private message from Ubotu) [17:29] EtteSB xmms is about the same thing [17:29] !player > noiano [17:29] dadehoog: well I guess that's good news [17:29] i have this command : nohup supybot My-Linx.conf i want to be run at startup .. how can i do it please? [17:30] EtteSB I think they use the same themes or skins [17:30] !boot > Yancho (Yancho, see the private message from Ubotu) [17:30] Yancho: i think it would be better to put it in a crontab, though [17:30] !crontab > Yancho (Yancho, see the private message from Ubotu) [17:30] !cron > Yancho (Yancho, see the private message from Ubotu) [17:30] hello im in ubuntu 7.10 and have managed to setup comizfusion. my screensaver is still broke though. How was it that I switch to "xscreensaver" once I install the packedge, again???? [17:30] !crontab is cron [17:30] I'll remember that, LjL [17:30] y better cron LjL ? [17:30] nope... still looks the same [17:30] dadehoog: yes the built in one and something called peer guardian 2 which I believe is or is similar to a firewall [17:31] anyone here on a 1024x768 laptop screen? [17:31] i want it just to run at startup [17:31] MacTheMad: well, yeah sort of ... in fact, there seem to be packets from machines accessing the internet via the gateway ... (eg. SRC is eth1, destination is not local net) [17:31] my laptop runs at that big [17:31] Yancho: 1) if the bot crashes, cron will restart it automatically 2) if you put it in /etc/rc.local, it will be run as root, and you REALLY do not want that [17:31] EtteSB: use audacious or beep media player they are clones of winamp [17:31] MacTheMad: ok, for these tests ... DISABLE all firewalls on the XP machine - for testing. [17:31] its not powred up Right Now,,,,, wry? [17:31] Yancho: if you need it only on boot you can put it in a script and let it execute it when the computer is started [17:31] hello all [17:31] dadehoog: ok [17:32] LjL but if i do it every 10seconds it will start a new instance every 10 seconds ey ? [17:32] Yancho: i thik LjL's suggestion is right [17:32] Yancho: no, supybot checks if it's already running, and doesn't start another bot if it detects that it is [17:32] can anyone advise me on flash plug in proble, I have tried re installing, and still firefox does not recognize flash plug in [17:32] Yancho: anyway, 10 seconds seems a bit overkill, make it one or five minute [17:32] Jed I have 1280x800, and also 1024.768 in my xorg.conf for my toshiba a200. Would you like me to pastebin the xorg.conf for you? [17:33] ow ic .. so its soemthing supybot does .. no need for me to do it ey? [17:33] thol: just the monitor section [17:33] MacTheMad: ok ... now, if you still can't get a dhcp lease with WinXP, try and configure it with a static IP (192.168.3.40 for example) as a test. [17:33] dadehoog: thanks , its working now [17:33] Jed http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49321/ [17:33] dadehoog: ok done but it's still struggling when trying to pull down an ip [17:33] kavoor: ok, what was the problem ? [17:33] LjL: Remove Flash, Gnash and FF itself from Synaptics and install them again [17:33] Yancho: well, test it to make sure. but i run supybot, so i'm pretty sure about it. [17:34] MacTheMad: by struggle, you mean failing ? [17:34] Azlan7000: wrong nickname [17:34] ow ic .. great LjL :) [17:34] should I install flash after firefox install? [17:34] Jed unfortunately there are only modelines for 1280x800 [17:34] sorry [17:34] wasnt reading properly [17:34] dadehoog: also here is what I was able to pull up off the net on the toredo tunneling thing... http://www.hardwaregeeks.com/board/showthread.php?t=18623 [17:34] thol: thanks [17:35] hello i got a problem in capture audio. in real it works but the sound reprodution is fast and cuting my voice.. the same in amsn and skype.. i tried the test in system preferences sound.. and there i tried all options i have for capture, and i got a message error... Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat' [17:35] dadehoog: I reboot the system. Went to Windows and formatted it as fat32. [17:35] how do i find out if something uses winamp API? [17:35] dadehoog: yes unable to connect to my dhcp server [17:35] EtteSB: ask in ##windows [17:35] tho1: FLash is currently broken [17:36] bazhang: its a linux prog that im wondering about tho >> [17:36] I had that firefox + flash problem yesterday remove everything and reinstall. [17:36] Jack_Sparrow ? [17:36] MacTheMad: ok, try configuring the WinXP machine with a static IP ... as a test [17:36] works on my other pc installs with ubuntu, why can't I get flSH WORKING NOW? [17:36] Jack_Sparrow: it's broken? what version you running gutsy? [17:36] tho1: PEr the topic.. flash has been broken since the last update by adobe [17:37] yes latest gutsy 7:10 with all current updates [17:37] Demonho-br, did you get the restricted extras pkge for skype? [17:37] Jack_Sparrow you've got me confused with someone else...I'm working a monitor issue with jed [17:37] using dapper works fine here [17:37] dadehoog: yes I get a connection when I hard code to 192.168.3.10 with windows but when I do the same trying to install ubuntu on hdb it can't connect to the repository mirrors [17:37] crush_groove, maybe no, but my sound is strange in amsn too.. im running gutsy [17:37] LjL is it like this : 5,10 * * * * nohup supybot My-Linx.conf [17:38] crush_groove, anyway how can i get this extras pkge ? [17:38] gostone: remove Gnash ,flash, firefox then reinstall firefox, flash less than 20 sec to do that. [17:38] jebus IRC is teh lag w/ all this COMPIZ running n going on this gForce2 card =D [17:38] hello everybody.......short question........is it possible to rdesktop my computer in home thru web connection? [17:38] course synaptic is up too, a game of chess, AND firefox [17:38] crush_groove, something is crashing the capture =\ [17:39] MacTheMad: that's bizarre ... can't explain or rationalise that one, other than a slightly different config. [17:39] chealdo yes, but without redirection you needto open port 3389 [17:39] tho1: Tab complete... darn [17:39] ok thanks Azlan7000, i will try that right now, what about marking firefox for reinstall? [17:39] gostone: Flash is currently broken per the channel topic [17:39] Demonho-br "something is a big word for me. I am sure if you are patient that some one in here will be able to help you in a far better way than I [17:39] thol: how will i do it im using gibbon [17:39] hey how do i set my default desktop environment, not using kdm or anything, just from startx...currently its kde, i wanna change it to fluxbox [17:40] crush_groove, of course.. thank you =) [17:40] Demonho-br however if you want to get those pkges Ill post how for you [17:40] Yancho: no. */5 * * * * supybot My-Linx.conf (if you want to run it every 5 minutes. and there's no need for nohup) [17:40] i found the note i made myself how to fix the ScreenSaver. why isnt that info in the help pages I wonder? or just like to that elijahofgren site etc. Someth8ing. [17:40] is there any program available for ubuntu that would make screens of movie? (that little thumbnail view of a movie) [17:40] set gui_tweaks 4 [17:40] Zenerek: Yes, flash is currently broken. [17:40] ow oki thanks alot LjL :) [17:40] !screensaver [17:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about screensaver - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [17:40] crush_groove, if possible, i would like to get the pkg.. please [17:40] dadehoog: you're not the 1st one that it stumped LOL [17:41] thol: actually my brother in law likes to see the power of ubuntu rdesktop in controlling his computer and his physical computer is in saudi and im in the philippines is that possible? [17:41] kane77: Yeah, try ManSlideShow [17:41] Jack_Sparrow: not for me [17:41] chealdo several things you need to do. First enable remote access inwindows xp. Only xp pro has this feature...xp home does not. [17:41] MasterShrek: rename the file /etc/rc2.d/S21kdm to /etc/rc2.d/off_S21kdm and reboot. kdm will not be started and you'll be able to use startx [17:41] MacTheMad: If you can configure WinXP with a static IP, and access the internet then NAT is fine. If you can't get an IP with DHCP , then there's a problem with DHCP ... but I don't quite know where to start debugging that one ... As for not being able to access the internet from Ubuntu using a static IP ... the only option is really user error :x [17:41] chealdo do you have a router at home, or is the computer connected directly to the internet? [17:41] Zenerek: Then I would assume you have not updated it within the last two weeks [17:41] velko, i konw that, already set up like that, i just dont want to use kde for my desktop when i type startx, i want it to be fluxbox and i dont know how to change it in ubuntu [17:42] Zenerek: If he tries to install it now.. it will bork [17:42] i spose if i used kdm and set default with that... [17:42] Malachi, thanx [17:42] heyho [17:42] MacTheMad: I would guess the problem with accessing the internet through the gateway from the Ubuntu installer relates to incorrect configuration of the network interface ... [17:42] is there a easy way to get 5.1 sound in ubuntu? [17:42] Demonho-br, do wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras w32codecs libdvdread3 libdvdcss2 [17:42] MasterShrek: i think the file you are looking for is .xprofile in your home dir. google it to be sure [17:43] thol: i have wireless broadband [17:43] Zenerek: There is a workaround, but the problem will be when the real fix comes down, it could create yet another issue with people that used the workaround [17:43] MacTheMad: possibly wireless, possibly routing, and more likely DNS ... [17:43] chealdo your brother won't be able to see what you are doing on his computer...windows won't allow desktop sharing with rdp [17:43] kane77: ManDVD should work as well. [17:43] MasterShrek: what is in your ~/.xinitrc? [17:43] kane77: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=38347 [17:44] Malachi, I was looking at it's package right now on getdeb :) [17:44] crush_groove, thank u ! [17:44] dadehoog: well ty very much for all your assistance... I think I'm going to try deleting the linux partitions on the other machine & reinstalling from scratch again... perhaps with what you've done for me it'll work this time [17:44] chealdo does your brother's computer run xp pro or xp home? [17:44] Jack_Sparrow: i'll get back to you, gonna see if i can get a date on my flash [17:44] Ah, good. :D By the way, it's ManSlide, not ManSlideshow, if you have trouble finding it. [17:44] Khisanth, no such file [17:44] MacTheMad: it sounds like you're missing a vital piece of information when you're doing the Ubuntu installer ... I'm off now, but if you're around in 12 or so hours, we can work through the installer if you like ? [17:44] !flashissues [17:44] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [17:45] thol: but i did rdp with lan well anytway whats next step [17:45] velko, no such file either...this is really easy in slackware, its xwmconfig, just a little menu [17:45] crush_groove, i made my question few minutes ago, do you think someone will read it yet ? [17:45] xp pro [17:45] Demonho-br, yes [17:45] chealdo you will need to open port 3389 on your wifi router so you can get out to your brothers computer [17:45] crush_groove, okay ! =) [17:45] Demonho-br its kinda "take a #' process [17:45] chealdo if he has a router at his end, he will need to open the same port [17:45] i see [17:46] chealdo and over that distance you will find rdp to be very slow. I have tried it from Ireland to the arctic, and it was unusable. [17:46] thol: how can i access my router [17:46] MasterShrek: google for xinitrc or xprofile (i can't remember which is the right one). you create the file with the name of the window manager (and other programs you want to run). it's ok the files are not there. just make sure you are using the right one [17:46] chealdo I'm not sure how you would configure your router...don't know what router you have, and don't know details about any but my own [17:47] dadehoog: well there's no wireless on this ip & routing... well this computer is the router... dns could be... I did try to set up bind but believe I've changed all those files back after giving up on getting bind configured [17:47] chealdo quite often you access the router as 192.168.xx.1...the xx changes for each network, might be 0 might be 1 or ?? [17:47] Jack_Sparrow: have latest 9.048.0ubuntu11-dapper2 [17:47] dadehoog: have a great day and ty... gotta go now myself [17:47] MacTheMad: yeah, we set the DHCP server up to avoid any need for BIND ... [17:47] thol: well ok......how about gotomypc or pc anywhere is it possible? [17:47] chealdo you can usually use firefox addressed to http://192.168.xx.1 to access the config [17:48] Zenerek: Did you read the info from the bot on flashissues [17:48] Cheers MacTheMad and good luck [17:48] MasterShrek: it seems like .xinitrc is the right one (the credit goes to Khisanth) [17:48] * Khisanth uses fluxbox as well [17:48] chealdo don't know about those...I use NoMachine's NXserver and NXclient, but there is no NXserver for windows, only linux [17:49] thanks velko and Khisanth [17:49] Are there recommendations for partition sizes? I'm mainly interested in how big my /boot partition should be. Is there a Ubuntu web page discussing this? [17:49] when i apt-get to install eclipse it get the old version 3.2 but i need version 3.3. how do i set up the packagemanager to get the new version of eclipse ? [17:49] thol: how slow is it even when your at the speed of broadband? [17:50] Malachi, hmm.. ManDVD doesn't quite do what I need :/ [17:50] Jack_Sparrow: just now..not sure i get what it means...by it [17:50] kane77: Then try ManSlide. [17:50] chealdo rdp and vnc were useless over broadband, but NX seems to work much faster [17:50] kane77: [17:50] http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Manslide?content=52227 [17:50] Oops. :P [17:50] thol:gonna surf about nx [17:50] * genii sips a coffee [17:51] <_NiC> when I boot up ubuntu now, I get a little dialog-box saying "Internal error" and "failed to initializa HAL!" - any idea what I can do fix this? [17:51] Zenerek: Glad your flash is working.. but it is currently broken if you try to install... [17:51] Malachi, well I guess manslide turns pictures into video, I need program to turn video into one image with snapshots at given time interval... [17:51] Really can't seem to download Ubuntu Studio? [17:52] there there seem to be an issue with burning [17:52] kane77: OH! [17:52] crush_groove, ohhh... i tried to check the sound capture with the audio recoder everything seems be ok.. [17:52] toby: they have a channel of their own if you need help [17:52] what is it? [17:52] after adding restricted? [17:52] crush_groove, so.. i think the problem is my Wireless Internet, maybe its slow today and because it my sound is bad when i use amsn or skype.. right ? [17:52] Jack_Sparrow: ah i thought there was a problem with the general release...topics a bit vague..in details [17:52] Demonho-br, I donty know [17:53] crush_groove, well. i dont know because i didnt try it before. but i tried the call test in skype again, and the sound is very bad yet.. nothing changed [17:53] hello, i have been reading that ubuntu isnt as quick as other distros, as its packages and kernel are compiled for i383, when most processors are i686. Does this cause a big problem with speed, and if so can it be solved, by downloading an i686 kernel for example? [17:53] toby: Not sure.. I would try #UbuntuStudio [17:53] ~ubuntustuido [17:53] nodz [17:53] Thanks [17:53] crush_groove, so.. if in audio recorder everything is ok, and in softwares that use Internet arent right. i think the problem is my Internet [17:53] #ubuntustudio [17:53] hey is kde more stable xfce? [17:53] #UbuntuStudio [17:54] kediri [17:54] crush_groove, anyway thank u for all :D [17:54] toby: /j #Channel [17:54] hey is kde more stable xfce?

[18:08] B-rabbit: do you know of a beginners tutorial on how its use it [18:08] EtteSB: I installed flash manually but the problem is I don't know how to get it working for firefox 3 [18:08] darx, are you having flash problems? I found a fix that involves installing an older version [18:08] darx, oh nevermind, I haven't tried on ff3 [18:08] B-rabbit: i have installed it but dont know how to launch exe's, when i say do it with wine it does nothing [18:08] aro: i need to install flash for firefox3 [18:08] works fine with ff2 [18:09] waseem, http://www.winehq.org/site/documentation [18:09] waseem, you will find everything there is to know about wine there ;) [18:09] B-rabbit: i'll have a look.

[18:17] 20gb [18:17] lampje: have you tried that? if not, it sounds like it's worth a try. [18:17] say 19 [18:18] 10 root, 1 swap, rest home, small_stripes. [18:18] okies [18:18] thanks alot anquietas [18:18] waseem, what application r u trying to run in wine? [18:18] small_stripes: agreed [18:19] B-rabbit: winkawaks, its an emulator and doesnt need to install. [18:19] Jack_Sparrow, could you please try to help me? :D [18:19] aro: I already tried a lot (looking on the net for some hours) but I haven't tried that. I'll give it a try tonight, thabks [18:19] i just installed linux and compiz is da shiznit [18:19] hijay, every time I log in I have to open network-settings to set the "location" so that my wireless connection works. How can I make it default to a given "location"? I guess "location" means wireless settings profiles. [18:19] is anyone using the syslog-ng package for 7.10? When I install it, and try to run syslog-ng, it exits immediatly with "Syntax error at 352" [18:19] anquietas: I will try... what is the question [18:19] Jack_Sparrow, I need to know how to set a new /home directory in 7.10 after a completed installation. [18:19] Hey, I'm running Feisty and getting lock-ups every single time I boot up on the login screen - this may be connected to the latest kernel updates. [18:19] Hello, I'm having issues with connecting to wireless. With the livecd and with LTS it worked fine. I've now upgraded to 7.10 and for some reason I can't access wifi anymore [18:19] anquietas: np, I have a good link.. do you have a spare partiton already? [18:20] vincenz, what wireless card do you use? [18:20] kbidd: erm, let me check [18:20] ubuntu is awesome im in love [18:20] Yes, Jack_Sparrow. I changed my distro and left my original /home directory unformatted in one of my HDD's partitions. Now the new /home folder is on the same partition as /root is... and it sucks. [18:20] kbidd: any way to check [18:21] kbidd: it's a Dell Latitude D610, from 2005 [18:21] kbidd: Intel Pro 2200 wireless [18:21] anquietas: Np.. follow the last part of this tutorial on how to set sep home partition... [18:21] k, 1 sec... my laptop is a D600, so its more or less the same [18:21] anquietas: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [18:21] waseem, let me get this cleared you r trying to run winkawaks which is an windows application via wine....am i right? [18:21] Will I lose the /home partition's content, Jack_Sparrow ? [18:21] B-rabbit: yes [18:21] ok [18:21] Hey, I'm running Feisty and getting lock-ups every single time I boot up on the login screen - this may be connected to the latest kernel updates. There's no issue with my hardware as I'm now running a Live CD and I have scanned the HDDs with fsck and badblocks. Is there anything else I can try to diagnose it with? [18:22] anquietas: No... you will just be pointing to it, not formatting it [18:22] do you know where ".wine" is? [18:22] this is exactly what I did to get dvd playback [18:22] sudo apt-get install libdvdread3 libxine1-ffmpeg totem-xine build-essential debhelper fakeroot [18:22] sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh [18:22] Cool, thanks! Jack_Sparrow [18:22] this broke totem [18:23] anquietas: Ask if you have any questions but is should be simple enough.. Just editing fstab if I remember right [18:23] waseem, do u know where to find the ".wine" directory? === dosnubbie_ is now known as dosnubbie [18:23] harushimo: Please dont paste into the channel... We have a pastebin for that.. see /topic for link and info [18:24] vincenz, sorry... mine is the Intel 1350, not the 2200 [18:24] B-rabbit: yes i am there [18:24] Hey, I'm running Feisty and getting lock-ups every single time I boot up on the login screen - this may be connected to the latest kernel updates. There's no issue with my hardware as I'm now running a Live CD and I have scanned the HDDs with fsck and badblocks. Is there anything else I can try to diagnose it with? === ForeverZero is now known as sea4ever [18:24] anybody ever work with a blank desktop, e.g. no icons or taskbars? [18:25] why no icons lol [18:25] kbidd: it used to work fine before I swapped hds and reinstalled. And then when I reinstalled and started at LTS, it worked fine too, it's just after upgrading that it seems not to wor anymore [18:25] kbidd: what config files should look at [18:25] Phopsy: latest feisty updates worked here. I gotta ask if you EVER used automatix or envy scripts... (Both bad ideas by the way) [18:25] waseem, have you installed winkawaks? if you have than navigate to the ".wine" directory... [18:26] Jack_Sparrow: sorry, it was an accident [18:26] B-rabbit: how can i tell i have installed it? [18:26] Jack_Sparrow: Hmm. I MAY have used Automatix at some point to get some codecs. I actually can't remember, but probably. [18:26] harushimo: np.. three lines is allowed... but still frowned upon... [18:26] waseem, ok.....lets start again :) [18:26] B-rabbit: the application doesnt really need to be installed, you just unzip it and use it [18:26] Phopsy: And there falls another victim of automatix [18:26] Phopsy, you don't need automatix for codecs, just sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [18:26] B-rabbit: in windows that is:P [18:27] Jack_Sparrow: Never needed Envy on Feisty, the Restricted Drivers seemed to work perfectly. [18:27] waseem, ahh...but u r using linux [18:27] hey all, when I try to install a new theme (gnome) it says it's correctly installed but it doesn't show up in the list... how do I fix that? [18:27] Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, I know, but ... well, mixed reviews, let's say. So, is there anything I can do about it? [18:27] Jack_Sparrow: I put my problem on the paste bin [18:27] !automatix > Phopsy: [18:27] B-rabbit: yes, and trying to use it through wine [18:27] Hi room [18:27] envy has been known to break on occasions, that's why in the past most advisors wouldn't have advised to use it. [18:28] is IRC council here? [18:28] Phopsy: Sorry, not much. As the link says, best to reinstall.. [18:28] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49326/--if anyone can help me it would be great [18:28] waseem, ok...open a terminal and type "wine" (do not press enter yet) [18:28] Anyone know what I have to configure to get my intel pro wireless 2200 to work?? It used to work fine in gutsy, then I installed a new HD. I installed LTS, it worked fine, then installed edgy, it worked fine too. Then since feisty and now in gutsy, it seems not to work [18:28] harushimo: link not found [18:29] what [18:29] B-rabbit: yes then? [18:29] Jack_Sparrow: Reinstall? Over my dead body, it took me so long to sort this lot out ... [18:29] waseem, then navigate to your winkawaks.exe file and drag and drop it in the terminal [18:29] * Phopsy cries [18:29] i'm looking at the link right now [18:29] umm im missing my close top panel on windows? [18:29] B-rabbit: yes done that [18:29] harushimo: Ok.. I see it... gotta edit it a tad [18:29] i think my text was also part of hyperlink [18:29] waseem, and then take out the quotes and press enter [18:29] !automatix [18:29] automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [18:30] actually my entire top panel on all windows are gone ack [18:30] B-rabbit: yes done that [18:30] waseem, is it working [18:30] ? [18:30] Can you install multiple distros, using the same /boot and /home mounts [18:30] B-rabbit: wine: cannot find '/media/disk/Documents' [18:30] anyone help? [18:31] Phopsy: Automatix seems to break many systems when they dont integrate with the updates [18:31] Sir_Sid: same home... kinda ok... same /boot, not recommended though possible [18:31] I have a problem installing Ubuntu 7.04.

HElp [18:31] ifireball, why is it not reccomended? I dont want to redo grub everytime I add or remove something [18:32] For some reason, my wifi card won't get an ip from the DHCPDISCOVER [18:32] After selecting to boot, I can see: Loading ..linux kernal.. index.. 100% blank and a small bar moved left and right bar stopped moving. and it started increasing from left to right (as if downloading) at the moment (visually: around 90%) is done screen went blank with a cursor blink Finally, error message: H: 30 - 54 Hz V: 50-160Hz PC display setting correct? is displayed on monitor and after a while monitor is getting switched off.

One thing I thought of is that I moved house yesterday, but I'm sure that can't be the problem! [18:32] B-rabbit: whats pastebin? [18:32] !pastebin | waseem [18:32] waseem: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [18:32] !pastebin [18:32] hey guys, I'm trying to install weatherget and am not sure I understand the directions. here they are. can anyone tell me how to do this? http://pastebin.com/m65c511bf [18:32] Sir_Sid: because kernel images from different distros might collide (e.g. same file name, different kernel...) [18:32] hi. I have system with a Live CD running without a mouse. I switched to console. Now I want to reboot the system to the installed OS on disk but also to eject the CD currently mounted (on which is ubuntu). What is the root password please or how to commence otherwise? [18:33] Phopsy: Post your sources.list to the pastebin... [18:33] ifireball, I see thanks [18:33] Sir_Sid: in any case, there will only be one active grub, and I do belive there s little if any need to separate /boot from / nowdays [18:33] Zathraz, i think its just root [18:33] Jack_Sparrow: I'll get to it [18:33] i still have to topp panel to drag and close windows? [18:34] Hi guys, [18:34] harushimo: sudo apt-get install libdvdread3 libxine1-ffmpeg totem-xine >>>build-essential <<< ? [18:34] Where is sources.list in the filesystem?

[18:34] phos [18:34] please can anybody help me to set up gateway for internet [18:34] apt folder [18:34] frojnd, use k3b [18:34] etc/apt/ [18:34] ifireball, but when you remove your second distro, wouldnt you lose the grub file? [18:34] ogra, I have ubuntu [18:34] Hi all. Is anyone using the D-Link DSL 200 Modem with Ubuntu? [18:34] Phopsy: /etc/apt/sources.list [18:34] frojnd, is that a joke? [18:34] Jack_Sparrow: I did that [18:35] i still have to topp panel to drag and close windows? [18:35] ogre. thanks, but it is not [18:35] Jack_Sparrow: totem still exits itself [18:35] B-rabbit: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49331/ [18:35] Zathraz, just hit the power button for a sec and hit enter then [18:35] harushimo: exactly my point... and I refer you to my earlier question, what are you trying to compile and or where did you get those indstructions [18:35] i am using a rule : /sbin/iptables -s 192.168.0.181 -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE but man with IP: 192.168.0.181 can't reach internet [18:35] is there a reason for no top panel on windows [18:35] i enabled ip_forwarding [18:35] B-rabbit: i think it may have to do with the spaces in "documents and settings" [18:35] Jack_Sparrow: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49332/ [18:36] B-rabbit: ill try it after pasting to root [18:36] both su - without password and with password 'root' do not work. A powerbutton is a bit tricky as it is a htpc system so it's not easily accessable [18:36] frojnd: Right click the iso and write to disk/cd [18:36] Jack_Sparrow: I was trying to compile to recognize my dvds. [18:37] Jack_Sparrow: They would get recognize by Ubuntu but not play in mplayer, xine, or totem [18:37] hey, does anybody know how to enable ip forwarding? [18:37] !root | Zathraz, ogre [18:37] Zathraz, ogre: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [18:37] Sir_Sid: if you don't tell it otherwise, the last distro you install will overwrite the MBR with its own grub, hopefully, it would detect the other distros and configure its grub accordingly, otherwise you'd need to do it manually... [18:37] !iptables > ParanoyaM (ParanoyaM, see the private message from Ubotu) [18:37] Phopsy: Yep.. you used automatix and that is the root of your problem and no we cant help you fix it. [18:37] good morning. i've install 7.10 server. i'd like to install X. whats the best way to do this? is there a meta-package i can get that will do everything for me? something like `apt-get install x-gnome` would be awesome [18:37] LjL please repeat [18:37] i closed that window [18:37] !iptables | ParanoyaM [18:37] ParanoyaM: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [18:37] nv got it [18:37] harushimo: So you did more than just add the codecs per our instructions... [18:38] ParanoyaM: to just *enable* it, it's sudo echo "1" >>/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [18:38] tarsin: ubuntu-desktop [18:38] Jack_Sparrow: nope [18:38] ParanoyaM: but then you'll have to set it up as well [18:38] erUSUL, thanks [18:38] B-rabbit: after moving it to root and trying. It did nothing in the terminal [18:38] tarsin: or xubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop [18:38] ifireball, yes but what if you removed that last distro? Would the system revert back to the original grub? [18:38] Jack_Sparrow: Okay, many thanks. But you could help me: Other than my /home folder, what should I back-up to make transition as seamless as possible? [18:38] ParanoyaM: actually, sudo -c sh "echo 1 >>/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" [18:38] waseem, r u running the WinKawaks from a cd? === tiara is now known as cr_tmn__FS [18:38] when i turn on compiz i loose my top panel [18:38] hey guys, I'm trying to install weatherget and am not sure I understand the directions. here they are. can anyone tell me how to do this? http://pastebin.com/m65c511bf [18:38] B-rabbit: no i am running it from my hard drive (the windows partition) [18:39] ohh [18:39] erUSUL, how do i then go and configure X? or do i need to? my actual intention is to never run an X (Server i think) locally.. all my GUIs will be done remotely [18:39] LjL i did it so, but it is not working anybody can't access internet [18:39] hi everybody [18:39] tarsin: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' [18:39] Sir_Sid: not really, I don't think removing a distro restores the MBR to its state before installing it, note that there isn't such a thing as a "distro uninstaller" [18:39] Phopsy: NOrmally I would say to burn /var/cache/apt/archives to a cd or use apt on cd, but there are going to be some files in there you do NOT want to use that were picked up by automatix [18:40] what is a good .iso file burner? [18:40] k3b [18:40] ParanoyaM: i said that just *enables* it, and then you have to set it up. follow the instructions the bot gave you, or use a frontend such as firestarter [18:40] billenium: k3b [18:40] ParanoyaM: your system cannot just know *what* you want to forward and to *where*. you have to tell it. [18:40] bill Alchohal [18:40] i use simple [18:40] B-rabbit: just tried it from my ubuntu partition and it did te same [18:40] which should i select for a root partition..primary or logical [18:40] forwarding [18:41] i need to organize gateway for internet [18:41] when i turn on compiz i loose my top panel help plz [18:41] Sir_Sid: actually, the best bet for a multi distro machine (not considering virtualization) is to manually maintain you own grub setup in its own partition and never let anything touch it [18:41] billenium, i already told u k3b [18:41] Hi, I just successfully installed ubuntu with gnome. I wish to use kmail as used it so far (especially with mbox mail format). 1) Is it possible to install & run kmail without any kind of problem? Will this create any problem to gnome? 2) Does Evolution have mbox as mail format? [18:41] ogre: no you didnt [18:41] ifireball, yeah well I have /boot set up on its own partition currently. If I installed another distro and let it use its own grub file and later removed it. Would the system use the old grub file in the /boot parititon. (I understand there is no such thing as an OS remover, you just delete the partition its sitting in) [18:41] with nothing more, except mac filtering, can you help me? [18:42] waseem, join the "winehq" channel, i am sure they will be able to help u there :) [18:42] B-rabbit: k thanks for your help [18:42] waseem, /join #winehq [18:42] billenium, oh nm it was frojnd that i told a few minutes ago [18:42] billenium: yes we did [18:42] Anyone know why my ipw2200 is no longer working? I had gutsy, but my hd was faulty. So I got a new hd, installed LTS from a livecd, my ipw worked fine Then upgraded to edgy, still fine. Then upgraded to feisty, didn't work anymore. Now in gutsy it's not working either, though my original system on my original hd also was gutsy and then it worked [18:42] ogre: since weatherget is not available in the repositories, why don't you consider using alternatives that are? [18:42] !info metar > ogre [18:43] !info weather-util > ogre [18:43] Jack_Sparrow: ogre said he already told me. You justs did, but this is the first time... [18:43] LjL, well its for a conky script [18:43] Jack_Sparrow: so what do I do now [18:43] billenium: brabbit and I both did... [18:43] ifireball, how would you keep grub on its own parition? I thought I was accomplishing that by making a seperate partiiton for /boot [18:44] ogre: your pastebin doesn't work, anyway [18:44] !pastebin > ogre (ogre, see the private message from Ubotu) [18:44] Sir_Sid: you seem to not understand where grub is actually installed, the files in /boot are used from the 1.5 step of the grub loading process and on, the boot process begins by loading grub from the MBR, there is only one MBR for a given disk, the the part of grub installed there is hard-configured to load the next steps in the process from a hard-fixed location [18:44] Jack_sparrow: yes i know... ogre said he told me before (like 3 minutes before i asked my question) lets drop this... [18:44] Can anyone please answer my question? === fido is now known as fiddd [18:45] SAngeli: You can use kde apps in gnome [18:45] Sir_Sid: othere then grub, the /boot directory also contains kernels and other files relevant only to a particular distro [18:45] Can someone give me instructions on making the d-link dsl 200 usb modem work with ubuntu? [18:45] Sir_Sid: the grub files are at /boot/grub [18:45] Jack_Sparrow: thank you [18:45] ParanoyaM: if the IP address of the computer you want to forward is $IP, then this should work (as root): [18:45] echo "1" >>/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward ; iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE -s $IP -d 0.0.0.0/0 [18:45] harushimo: You can go back through our link for restricted formats and hope you didnt install somthing that will mess up the dependencies.

I've deleted the unwanted partitions and currently my 60GB HD has 1 partition which is the C: while the other 30GB are unpartitioned space... the problem is when i go into gnome partition editor it doesn't see the C: partition at all even though it is there and i can mount and see the files on it ?? what can i do... i just [19:08] LjL: there isn't any errors [19:08] i've ubuntu variants many times on other machines and never had this issue [19:08] *installed [19:09] Yancho: then instead of just « supybot bot.conf », use « if ! pidof -x supybot ; then supybot bot.conf ; fi » [19:09] LjL: and? :| [19:09] LjL: Ok...now its uninstalled and its working still, no errors. o.O [19:09] fi = if ? [19:10] fi closes the if statement, I guess [19:10] PaulEU: patience please, i'm answering three people at a time [19:10] Yancho: no, the first is an if, the other is a fi [19:10] How do I get ipw2200 to work on gutsy? How come it worked fine on LTS/edgy but not on feisty/gutsy? [19:10] ow ok thanks alot LjL :) [19:12] PaulEU: well then it's not installed... what's the problem? the files are still around? [19:12] ogre: Did you get it to work? [19:12] !doesntwork | vincenz [19:12] vincenz: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [19:12] LjL: yes, there are exists in /etc/vmware (for example) [19:12] TigranG, "working" i.e. you type "nautilus" and a Nautilus starts? [19:13] LjL: yea [19:13] LjL: Before it would give an error upon logging in and running nautilus when it was removed. Now its working. [19:13] vincenz: are you getting any error msg? can you describe the probelm? works without network manager? [19:13] MegaIRC: I would suggest you try the gparted livecd to create your partitions.. It isnt a huge dl and it is something you should have around anyhow === MegaIRC is now known as blip [19:14] PaulEU: then you first removed it without purging it. try « sudo dpkg -P vmware-server » to purge it now. === blip is now known as blip1 [19:14] LjL: Side note: I uninstalled nautilus and libeel, downloaded the source, patched it, and installed the patched versions. But I lost the 'Extract here' option in the right click menu and I wanted it back. So I went in Synaptic and installed original nautilus and libeel. [19:14] Doesn't work means, when I do ifup, I get no DHCP answer [19:15] TigranG: if you type « which nautilus »? [19:15] TigranG: (but the way, your "side note" is, i think, pretty vital to the issue) === Elive_user47 is now known as anquietas [19:15] Jack_Sparrow, still around? [19:15] It just keeps doing DHCPDISCOVER. It worked fine on my original gutsy, changed hd, worked fine with livecd. installed LTS on new hd, worked fine, upgraded to edgy, worked fine. Then since feisty and now in gutsy, it just won't get an ip from dhcp when I do ifup [19:15] LjL: what do you mean which nautilus do I run [19:15] anquietas: yes [19:15] LjL: patched or original? [19:15] TigranG: just type « which nautilus » in a terminal [19:15] oh [19:15] k [19:15] Jack_Sparrow, it did not work. My Ubuntu keeps crashing at start-up. [19:16] LjL: ok, now it deleted successfully :) [19:16] LjL: biig thx :) [19:16] LjL: /usr/local/bin/nautilus [19:16] vincenz: have you tried with encryption disabled or no password etc? [19:16] anquietas: Are you running livecd now? [19:16] TigranG: then that's your pwn patched version. how to remove it - i wouldn't know that, it depends on how you installed it. [19:16] erUSUL: it is without encryption [19:16] Jack_Sparrow, I am running the LiveCD of another distro, because it is faster. [19:16] LjL: make install [19:16] hairulfr, well i got startupmanager and im looking through it right now [19:16] anquietas: SO you manually edited fstab? [19:17] TigranG: do you still have the directory where you did the make? try "make uninstall" in there [19:17] Ljl: So I would need to get the source again and do make uninstall [19:17] Jack_Sparrow, yes. [19:17] in compiz how can i rotate the cube when i move my cursor to the edge and move my mouse wheel [19:17] TigranG: if it supports make uninstall at all, yes. [19:17] LjL: Alright. I think I got it from here. Thanks a lot. [19:17] hey I get an error on boot "cannot load selected partition" this is new, and is only after today's updates... help? [19:17] anquietas: Bring up fstab and put it in the pastebin for me please.. not paste into the channel [19:17] TigranG: if it doesn't, then you'll have to remove each file manually. [19:17] LjL: Haha. Yay :P [19:18] Jack_Sparrow, I copied the new home directorys content into the destination folder and added a line to fstab. Hold on. I am going to upload it. [19:18] anquietas: Please also do this or the equivalent for your live distro.. sudo fdisk -l > ~/Desktop/Partition.Layout.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T).txt [19:18] vincenz: :S i'm at a lost if it works on the livecd it should work once instaled. Have you tried network manager? [19:19] is there some way I can have bash not only auto-complete files that have the extension for the program i'm about to run (i.e. I want to auto-complete an mp3 even if i'm going to vi it) [19:19] erUSUL: it worked fine in 6.06 and 6.10 too [19:19] anquietas: I will most likely need that as well sent to the pastebin [19:19] now I just keep getting DHCPDISCOVER [19:19] LJL [19:20] i get next error message while trying use mac- [19:21] when i go to install linux wireless drivers i get Linux source tree '/usr/src/linux-2.6.22-14-generic' is incomplete or missing!

[19:31] hi. given myfile.wav , how can i split it in part1.wav, part2.wav and part3.wav (with starting times = 0 seconds for part1, 3 minutes and 5 seconds for part2, 5 minutes for part3) ? thnks [19:31] thedoor: !! hey i just noticed... you send me the output for your optical drive... not your hard drive [19:31] thedoor: dmesg |grep BM-DMA [19:31] erUSUL, yeah, i don't have any ideia too, im trying to make it works since the morning but it don't works =/ [19:31] anquietas: MAke a backup of your fstab and give that a shot... If it does not work come back.. but I will be gone... shopping yet again... take care... [19:31] How do I install libqt.so.1 on Ubuntu? [19:31] wols, just a minute [19:32] Jack_Sparrow, thanks! See you later! [19:32] i need some guidance in installing ubuntu in manual mode [19:32] umer: what do you get when you type /sbin/ifconfig -a [19:32] theunixgeek: search for it on packages.ubuntu.com [19:32] i keep getting errors [19:32] wols: I'll try :) [19:32] wols, it returns 2 line, i need to paste in the pastbin? [19:32] umer: check the wireless configuration, should be something like eth1 [19:33] please help me ! i try use vnc server, but write in log one error .. Could not init font path element /usr/share/X11/fonts/OTF, removing from list! [19:33] I just ran the command sudo chown user /*/* I tried to fix it by making everything owned by root and changing /home back. But I guess that's not all good either. Anyone know a way I can set everything back to default (hopefully not by reinstalling) [19:34] How can I get multimedia keys working? I installed some package, forget which, that got some of the multimedia keys working, but not all of them. [19:34] wols, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49342/ look [19:34] magne_: You've just messed up your filesystem. Reinstall. [19:34] How would I go about making something like [19:34] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49341/ [19:34] Appear as my desktop background? [19:35] so it uses busmaster DMA and should be fast if you use hdX disks [19:35] LjL [19:35] any ideas? [19:35] JordiGH sure there's no other way? [19:35] magne_: I don't know if you can change the default permissions back to what they were before. What are the permissions now on the root directory? Who is the owner of the folders in the root directory? [19:36] magne_: While *most* files outside of /home should be owned by root and *most* files in /home should be owned by users, a few of them aren't (some have to be owned by certain system users). [19:36] wols, this comand increase the HDD speedy? [19:37] magne_: As I recall, there were few files that had to be owned by system users, but it could vary on your system. [19:37] tony_math root is the owner. anyone else can only access files [19:37] how do I make a program full screen at startup? [19:37] ubuntu has stopped recognizing one of my hard drives [19:37] Hi... i have an encrypted partition (acts as an ext3 one when mounted). It currently has a few websites stored on it... can I create symlinks into /var/www for those or will the links disappear as soon as the partition is unmounted? (nothing is live on the web btw) [19:37] thedoor: no [19:37] JordiGH I certainly found out that /etc/sudoers had to be owned by users [19:38] is there any way in pidgin to consolidate the same contact on different protocols to only come up once? [19:38] wols, are all ok with my configuration? [19:38] is there a way to get Ubuntu installed on GPT labeled disk, or skip the grub step? [19:38] magne_: You made a total n00b error there, messing around with file permissions. ;-) [19:38] Good afternoon everyone [19:39] JordiGH thanx it hit me the second I hit return. Rather comical I guess [19:39] magne_: /etc/sudoers is owned by root:root with permissions 440 [19:39] magne_: on my system, /etc/sudoers is owned by root. Only root has read access as well as members of the root group. [19:39] what does it mean: localhost: RPC: Program not registered [19:39] what can i use to convert a .avi to dvd? [19:40] grout: you can use tovid [19:40] magne_: In all fairness, there is probably very little that could be broken if you change everything outside of /home to be owned by root. I think only a few logfiles had to be owned by system users. [19:40] magne_: Assuming you didn't change group ownerships... Btw, you can ignore permissions in /dev since those are generated at each boot. [19:41] JordiGH OK I'll try it for a while. Errors are sometimes poping up and I just have to fix it as I go along. I only changed ownerships. Right now my trouble is nothing mounts without being superuser [19:42] hali all [19:43] erUSUL, still same error [19:43] store: you installed linux-source?

[20:08] JordiGH: no thay come with lindvd player that has a license for decss [20:08] JordiGH, Nope, I've never had a problem with regions on ubuntu. [20:08] erUSUL: So you were unable to flash RPC1? [20:09] PriceChild: And have you bought DVDs outside of the US? [20:09] JordiGH: no; i use libdscss i'm in europe no dmca around here [20:09] erUSUL: You were not unable to flash RPC1 to them? [20:09] JordiGH, I'm from Europe, and I've played dvds from america and new zealand on my travels. [20:09] zuch: sorry i type at 100mph and make mistakes lol [20:10] well how about ifconfig files then? [20:10] * Dinde_de_noel_cu aussi [20:10] PriceChild: So the Dell Ubuntu laptops already have regionless DVDs? [20:10] JordiGH, no idea.

[20:11] * macd just buys the correct regioned dvd's [20:11] JordiGH: i guess [20:11] i thought the default screenshot program did that, cvd? [20:11] macd: That's an impossibility for those of use who travel. [20:11] JordiGH, not if you just dont buy dvd's out of the country [20:11] you just don't get the options if you use the keyboard button [20:11] nop, just the active window or the Dektop [20:11] * macd travels to work, not shop [20:11] not a region [20:11] you have to select it from the accessories menu [20:11] macd: I travel for fun and business.

[20:12] Can someone please help me with my sound? [20:12] JordiGH, well I hear that for sure, have you tried flashing your dvd drive yet? it sounds like you could very easily brick it that way [20:13] JordiGH, yeah thats the best option I think, but they will _not_ come that way [20:13] can someone help me with a soundcard problem ? [20:13] Anybody know why some Flash movies would flicker a bunch in Firefox? [20:13] I don't actually care if they come with lindvd or whatever. I'm gonna wipe then and install Debian on them. I just want 1) not pay Microsoft tax and 2) have it run with as many free drivers as possible. [20:13] JordiGH, I think the dell buntu laptops cost more than the windows one right now [20:13] I've installed apache2 and php5 installed with this command: apt-get install phpsysinfo... but it doesn't work. If I browse with my browser to a php script, I can download it, and not see it. How can I fix that? [20:13] serenityUK: Thanks i have been haging out there. I thought this would be faster and it is. thanks for the help. I have to get back to the install script i was trying to write :) [20:13] due to microsoft oem rebates to manufactureres during xmas [20:13] macd: Yeah, flashing RPC1 is tricky, but worth it.

[20:41] maybe its a download or rippong problem and the ISO itself is bad [20:41] josse depends on what service you have === SPC_Marshall is now known as up_for_too_long_ [20:41] just internet, I don't have any phone service [20:41] nikin, thats wat i was thinking...how do i found out? === up_for_too_long_ is now known as Almost_Done [20:41] josse check out skype...or gizmoproject [20:41] Hi does someone know a nice SQL gui for administring mysql and db2?

[20:42] josse: I'm not sure if Ekiga lets you make calls to landlines, but Wengophone does, although you have to pay Wengo for the service to call landlines. Calls to other Wengophone users over the internet are gratis, though.

[20:43] deniz_ do you have ssh acces to that box? [20:44] cipher_nemo: you need to give it a filename to write to on the command line. [20:44] has anyone ever mentioned the idea of NOT updating unless something isn't working? Why would anyone endanger a working system for a version number [20:44] Damn. =( I need help again.

Let me get you a link [20:47] JordiGH, generic? [20:47] TuxCrafter: you can't you need the alternate cd for that [20:47] !alternate | TuxCrafter [20:47] TuxCrafter: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD.

And cheers [20:50] Hi every body :) [20:50] kurt_: thats a #kubuntu question [20:50] reviewsaurus: try with the latest wine from winehq. Instructions: http://winehq.org/site/download-deb [20:50] soundray, thanks. I'm going to rebuild LIRC since it looks like guides online led me to screw it up. If I still have issues, I'll post again.

[20:51] Zoe_: without some other info i can not guess what could have coused this... have you looked at log files under /var/log/ messages and syslog [20:51] where can I check the wine logs [20:51] JordiGH, might actually need enabling in the BIOS to recognize it. [20:51] reviewsaurus, apt-get does not carry the latest version of wine. to get the latest, you must go to winehq [20:51] cipher_nemo: try the support mailing list if you can't solve it yourself. [20:51] Ok..thaks [20:51] erUSUL, going there now [20:51] I'll try that first [20:51] cipher_nemo: (I mean lirc support) [20:51] RedHeron: No, it works in Windows; not a BIOS issue. [20:52] I keep adding the "window list" plugin to the gnome panels but it doesn't show any of my windows. [20:52] Why won't it show any of my windows??? [20:52] Zoe_: well if you log as root what you see on the root home folder are the roots files not yours... [20:52] JordiGH: not a good justification, since Windows loads drivers it doesn't need. [20:52] RedHeron: I'm getting a clue from http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_Multimedia_Keys [20:52] Zoe_: btw why did you enabled root? or are you in recovery mode? [20:52] JordiGH, ok [20:52] bye friends, it's wifetime [20:52] RedHeron: Well, whatever driver it loaded in order for the volume knob to work, it obviously needed it. ;-) [20:53] JordiGH, because they write drivers and submit them to M$, there may not be a driver for it in Linux.

[21:00] Hammer89: like i said it depends if you download movies all day lol... for normal use 10gb is enough. you can always move your home folder later (equivilent of mydocs) [21:00] the dir was somewhere else [21:00] ltracy: gdmsetup [21:00] serenityUK: Okay, thanks [21:01] Hammer89: one of the benefits of linux is that you can move dirs to another drive without breaking the system!

[21:01] oh nvm i think i am in the wrong channel [21:01] ltracy not very secure. Your best bet is either X forwarding via ssh or ssh tunnel for VNC...or if everything is linux check out NoMachine's NX [21:01] Hi all. I've been experiencing very bad lag connecting to my ubuntu 7.10 machine via VNC on my mac. Is there a known issue with remote desktop lag on VNC? [21:02] Zoe_: i can not think of anything... maybe grep for the name of the hard disk device /dev/sdxx or /dev/hdxx [21:02] thor: I used NX awhile back. I remember it being a pain though. [21:02] aaronh_: not that i know of and i use vnc with ubuntu often [21:02] ltracy it posed a problem or two getting the server set up, but it is tons faster than either vnc or x forwarding [21:02] im looking at the vnc screen on my mac as i type this on my ubuntu machine and it's easily 45 seconds behind.

[21:05] JordiGH: I tried deleting those, but then I didn't have a window manager and the problems were still there. [21:06] JordiGH: I've never actually used it [21:06] ltracy: Give it a spin. Its syntax is a superset of Matlab's, although it has a few issues. [21:06] JordiGH: lol, my typing is fast and sloppy.. the number of times i wrote gusty gibbon lol [21:06] mongo1 you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add those options...assuming they fixed your problem [21:06] what do they do though so i know more of what my problem is?

[22:13] * Neskaya has been doing all of this around her day job, around a hospital stay, et-cetera. :D [22:13] Neskaya: ah, no... Just school. [22:13] godzirra, if you run "ccsm" and click on "general options" you have a "number of Desktops" option. You should be able to have one background for each desktop. a _virtual_ desktop (like the cube) you will not be able to have different backgrounds. don't ask me how to set the backgrounds though. might be in "desktop cube" -> "Appearance" but not sure. [22:13] Oh yeah, and around high school and college at the same time. [22:13] * Neskaya has a day job, high school, college, and has had a recent 2-day involuntary.

[22:15] Neskaya: sudo aptitude install skype [22:15] chipito: System->Preferences_>Sessions [22:15] Jowi: thanks! [22:15] laughzilla: works? i though etc/fstab was something related to mouting drives [22:15] click 'Add' and then type the commands into the relevant box [22:15] jerichokb: i need them to work whithout the user loging in (using as a server) [22:15] chipito - i don't know listen to the others not me i'm an ubuntu noob :) [22:16] ah, no idea then, sorry [22:16] jerichokb no prob, thanks anyway ;) [22:16] Neskaya: Make sure you didn't do the optional step: remove non-free components!

[22:17] chipito: have you put them all in a single script? it might also be a permissions problem [22:17] which irc do you want to join? [22:17] gary441: http://www.irchelp.org/ [22:17] godzirra, actually I just set different backgrounds. just go to desktop cube -> appearance and add as many images as you need. they will automatically be set to alternate cube sides. neat [22:17] not really sure....but I have a perl question [22:17] Ahh sweet.

[22:18] Odd-rationale, I didn't. :D [22:18] I was actually looking at synaptic to get it instead of using terminal. Oh well. [22:18] then they probably should execute. that's the limit of my knowledge! sorry [22:18] * Neskaya prefers GUI when she can use it. [22:18] Neskaya: You can use synaptic, no diff. [22:19] how can i type | on linex ? [22:19] Odd-rationale, it wasn't finding it. [22:19] how can i type | on ubuntu terminal [22:19] Neskaya: Try reloading your package lists. [22:20] okay, so following advice here i used gparted to format my hard drive as fat32. [22:20] Odd-rationale, eh, I set it to go throug hterminal, no big deal.

[22:21] one more question, when I try to boot into ubuntu, I get an error saying "kernel panic: cannot mount root fs" [22:21] how do i fix that [22:22] Neskaya: Did it work? [22:22] c-master: i guess it depends on teh language layout of your keyboard [22:22] I get the error that there is no harddrive when i use the windows setup cd. what is the reason for this?

I was having a problem in ubuntu, and I managed to fix it myself. I searched on the forums, and I found a workaround there, but I wasn't satisfied. So I went and found another workaround (That I believe is better.) Now, since I've got this knowledge... where's the appropriate place to put it? [23:17] thor i install gkrellm through apt-get [23:17] installed* [23:17] Jowi: I also seem to be getting some kind of dialog box with a red button, but sadly it goes away before I can see it [23:18] vincenz, personally, I would see if it is gnome related. so I would try a different WM and perhaps different kernel. that's all advice I can give on this topic I'm afraid. [23:18] kriel: you can start your own thread in the forums.. call it HOWTO: xxxx [23:18] kriel: reply on the forums on the treath you found the first solution with your better one [23:19] serenityUK: that's what i figured, but i didn't see too many other howto's, so i wasn't sure. [23:19] vincenz, unless of course there is something wrong with your new HDD and you can fsck it [23:19] !fsck [23:19] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [23:19] erUSUL: there's more than one thread with said problem, and i didn't want to crospost that much. (Don't want to look like a spammer.) [23:19] reviewsaurus ok....go to searcher.myvnc.com and in the top right corner.... [23:19] kriel: fair enough ;P [23:19] reviewsaurus put that file in the ~/.gkrellm2/plugins folder [23:20] kriel: some of the best threads are HOWTOs some over 100pages long so popular. the forums are so busy they float to the top then get buried [23:20] vincenz, (if that HDD is faulty that would at least explain the seek lights on that current user) [23:20] serenityUK: ah didn't know that. used it only a couple of times. :( [23:20] reviewsaurus then restart gkrellm [23:20] thor that's ur website? [23:20] reviewsaurus yup [23:21] reviewsaurus runs ubuntu on an old compaq laptop [23:21] Jowi: wmaker is even worse [23:21] thor check out mine too :D [23:21] Jowi: wmaker just goes to terminal and then restarts gdm [23:21] Jowi: the hd is new [23:21] fluxy: it does work.. but can confuse a newbie... also pausing gdm means you don't need to reboot which takes ages on my system lol [23:21] rhythmbox keeps opening whenever I plug any usb device in [23:21] how do I make it stop ! [23:22] reviewsaurus and before I forget you will want to check out the skins for gkrellm on the gkrellm homepage [23:22] thor here's what I've done [23:22] vincenz, i'm out of ideas. [23:23] I have imagepreview turned off in nautilus. But it crashes and keeps on trying to open when I go to my home directory. My desktop icons also disapear when this happens. Is there anything I can do? [23:23] btw anyone knows the command (that needs to be entered in the volumes manager) for banshee so that it autoplays audio cd's? [23:23] sudo apt-get install gkrellm [23:23] after that I downloaded the file [23:23] and now I'm wondering where to put that :( [23:23] coz when I tried looking at that folder [23:23] it's not there [23:23] reviewsaurus run gkrellm and it will create .gkrellm2 in your home directory [23:23] hi. i have gutsy here. i have manual wifi network configuration to connect to my access point. it connects ok, but whenever i reboot the machine, it connects to some other access point, which is not mine (i have about 5-6 AP in the neighborhood). then I need to /etc/init.d/network restart, and it connects to my access point. how do i fix this? [23:23] reviewsaurus: folder with a dot are hidden.. goto view menu and tick show hidden files [23:24] reviewsaurus then you can put that file in ~/.gkrellm2/plugins....gkrellm will create it when run the first time [23:24] :( [23:24] hello i'm french and i need help on an english sentence, someone could help me ? [23:24] reviewsaurus then you need to quit gkrellm and restart it so it sees the plugin [23:25] matthieu: am nt french but i studied french, maybe i can help [23:25] anybody know why a live cd wont boot? sounds like it's trying but then i just get a blinking cursor....sound like a bad burn? [23:25] matthieu: have a go.. there is a french channel if you want? [23:25] thor did as you said [23:25] how shall i know if my laptop bluetooth is working? [23:25] atarinox, be patient [23:26] i can't go pv ? [23:26] reviewsaurus ok...so now gkrellm is running, right? [23:26] Anyone that know why X is not working? [23:26] matthieu: you need to register your name to send private msg. to stop spam [23:26] slonbg: if you use no roaming mode (manual configuration) on System>Admin>Net you have setted an essid the one of your router. how come it connects to someone's elses?? [23:26] thor yes it is and I ran the plugin too [23:26] enabled it [23:27] reviewsaurus ok...then in the gkrellm stack you should see a little 'bar' with the words lock and shoot [23:27] I clicked shoot but I don't know what to do [23:27] i let the sentence here because many guys respond : "Guess who (wishes| wish | is wishing) you a Happy New Year ?" [23:27] reviewsaurus right click shoot....and see what the options are [23:27] I seem to be having GConf-Critical errors [23:27] thor clicked shoot and nothing happened [23:27] reviewsaurus RIGHT click [23:27] wishes [23:27] Anyone know how to have different backgrounds for each desktop on gnome+compiz-fusion? [23:28] reviewsaurus should open a window with options [23:28] ok this is what i thought [23:28] thor yes [23:28] all three work (depends on what u wanna say), but wishes sounds best [23:28] matthieu: wishes for a question [23:28] thank you [23:28] reviewsaurus ok...see the Save Location at the top? and the choice to grab a window, area, or entire desktop [23:28] Jowi: could this be due to gconf-stuff? [23:28] np [23:28] thor got it [23:28] reviewsaurus and with or without the window frame.... [23:28] erUSUL: that's the quetion. I have no idea, but thats what happen [23:29] reviewsaurus and Image Format in the bottom right [23:29] thor yes :) [23:29] vincenz, some of it yes, but that does not explain why the new user account fail as well. perhaps "sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop" [23:29] reviewsaurus ok...when you click on the shoot button it will create a file in the Save Location. If you choose to capture a window or area, the cursor will change and you either click on the window or click and hold to mark an area [23:30] Jowi: wil lthat force reinstlal of all packages? [23:30] vincenz, all packages connected to ubuntu-desktop (including gnome) [23:30] reviewsaurus once you use it once or twice you find it is really easy and versatilve [23:30] that seems not to solve it [23:30] matthieu: THAT is what you thought lol :P [23:30] reviewsaurus I fhink anyway [23:30] No change in behaviour [23:30] erUSUL: everything in admin/net is et OK, essid, wpa key, etc. but upon bootup it connects to something else. i got an ip from a net i do not have [23:30] thor :) even I hope this works the way I want [23:30] vincenz, it finished in less than a second? [23:31] Jowi: yes [23:31] thor did you check my website ? [23:31] reviewsaurus then look at sshfs to map remote folders instead of using ftp. [23:31] reviewsaurus didn't get the url [23:31] thor just google my reviewsaurus name [23:31] :D [23:31] reviewsaurus you have to excuse mine...just put it up [23:31] vincenz, something is not ok (but that we knew). seriously though - i have no more ideas. [23:31] ok [23:31] lol serenityUK's lessons [23:31] Does anyone know how I coudl get my X system to work [23:32] It is not an issue with gnome, the issue seems to be deeper [23:32] vincenz, what's not working? [23:32] (for wmaker also has problems) [23:32] thor if at all you ever need help with websites...you can contact me :) [23:32] matthieu: THAT is past tense.. THIS is current lol... if you want to know [23:32] PriceChild: when I log into gdm, gnome flashes the bars at top and bottom a few times, and then they dissapear [23:32] PriceChild: if I use wmaker, it simply quits out and goes back to gdm [23:32] hi, how can i xhost+ another local user which i su into? i tried localhost and my hostname but only got 'xhost +' to work :S [23:32] did anybody got successfull injection with ipw2200 (afther patching) on Gutsy? [23:32] reviewsaurus impressive...I could use some lessons [23:33] thor anytime :) and thanks for the compliment :) [23:33] thor that's my bread and butter. I've got these two blogs and I make money from that :) [23:33] PriceChild: this behaviour started showing after I upgraded to gutsy through feisty,edgy, from LTS (which I used to install onto a new hdd), gutsy worked fine until it said it had a new partial upgrade, I did that, and since then this problem has been showing [23:33] serenityUK: they forgot to teach this at school .... [23:34] reviewsaurus you might want to google for gkrellm plugins also...there are a number of them. I use the wireless and wifi plugins and the weather. === matthieu is now known as Xenome [23:34] how to setting wireless connection on ubuntu? [23:34] thor you've given me another software to review :D [23:34] since 7.10 my browser keeps turning grey & freezing, how do I disable this? [23:35] hello! [23:35] reviewsaurus gkrellm is an older package, but I consider it one of the greatest treasures I ever found [23:35] Jowi: how do I see a list of packages?

[23:37] reviewsaurus I use pidgin...don't think it supports them [23:37] i did like the guides told me and installed adobe flash via the browser, but it still isn't working [23:37] reviewsaurus can be reached on yahoo im....spnye [23:37] can you install Flash on ubuntu (not the plugin, the program) [23:37] no TheEagle [23:38] vincenz, apt-get clean? [23:38] TheEagle: perhaps in wine [23:38] opening kopete [23:38] Jowi: thx [23:38] plux: what's wine? [23:38] vincenz, or apt-get autoclean [23:38] what's the package name? [23:38] TheEagle [23:38] wine is not an emulator [23:38] its a software which runs windows programs [23:38] I'm having a problem with it :D [23:38] vincenz, see "man apt-get" of which you want to use. there is a slight difference. [23:38] TheEagle: a small app that runs win32 binaries, with various results [23:38] is it free [23:38] TheEagle yes [23:38] TheEagle: yes [23:39] TheEagle: maybe not flash itself, but Gnash swf player [23:39] where can I get it? [23:39] TheEagle: apt-get install wine [23:39] cheers plux [23:39] is there a way to find out if you have a TPM without cracking your case open? [23:39] TheEagle go to http://winehq.org [23:39] do it from there [23:39] they provide latest version [23:39] gnash isn't working for me either [23:39] can I get the LEGO NXT brick regocnized in Ubuntu through USB? Anyone tried? [23:40] Ljorring: yep you can [23:40] plux: can you tell me how? :) [23:40] TheEagle: Flash does work in wine, I've run it myself. The best way to get it running is to go to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager and search for 'wine' [23:40] plux: I refuse to boot up in windows... [23:40] Jowi: best way: remove as much as possible and then clear and then reinstall [23:40] apallo: did you remove gnash when you install proper flash... they conflict [23:40] :| [23:40] whats up medwards ? [23:40] thanks for all your help [23:40] heh, i just thought of that, am doing so now [23:40] thanks! [23:41] Ljorring: http://bricxcc.sourceforge.net/nbc/ for example [23:41] apallo: and close the browsers [23:41] vincenz, or format the / partition (hoping you have a separate /home partition) and reinstall [23:41] I am intrested in ming (php module) can i achieve the same effects using ming and php as i can in flash? [23:41] Ljorring: http://nxt.ivorycity.com/ [23:41] TheEagle: If you want the latest and greatest version (though the Synaptic version should be good enough), copy and paste the two lines from http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb [23:41] thor added [23:41] Jowi: I do have separate /home, but that means going from livecd LTS again ;( [23:41] Jowi: that took me the full day [23:42] Once Ubuntu server 7.10 is installed, is there a web-based means of administering it ? [23:42] vincenz, no. by reinstall i do not mean LTS + upgrade. by reinstall i mean from gutsy CD [23:42] has anyone gotten flash to work in firefox ? [23:42] Ljorring: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=safari&rls=en-us&q=linux+lego+nxt+usb&btnG=Search and plenty more there [23:42] plux: I have installed some NXC from those locations... [23:42] Jowi: I do not have a gutsy cd [23:42] Jowi: I do have my old hd which has gutsy on it, which is now in a usb-cae [23:42] i installed flash-nonfree but in firefox it says i have an old version of flash [23:42] i run flash cs3 in windows and i develop my website on ubuntu an i can't really be bothered to reboot each time i want to develop a flash for my site and then reboot again to put it into my site, then find out i need to add something to it so have to reboot into windows [23:42] TheEagle: To install Ming, just go to Synaptics and search for ming [23:42] plux: but its like, when I connect the NXT through USB, my system doesnt pop up with a drive for it [23:43] ok, flash-nonfree is giving me an md5 mismatch [23:43] plux: maybe, thats not the intentions...? [23:43] What is the best way to get the source code for the versions of apps that come with Ubuntu? [23:43] apallo, me too [23:43] TheEagle: If Wine doesn't work for you, you can try Virtualbox and run Windows from _inside_ Ubuntu. [23:43] Pir8: i'm not sure how that would work? what do you need to do? why not use an ssh client? [23:43] which explains why it isn't installing [23:43] virtualbox is flawless [23:43] vincenz, if you're starting out from scratch i would not recommend upgrading from LTS all the way to gutsy. that seems like a waste of time. [23:43] Jowi: I know [23:43] apallo, yes but i tried installing it manually and it still doesnt work [23:43] Ljorring: you should get something in /dev/something and send commands using thoose programs, but no, you wont get any removable drive or anything [23:43] maybe u cud try dloading the pakage directly from adobe? [23:43] I am running gutsy, what would cause an upgrade of syncevolution-evolution-2.12 to show coming from an untruested source? [23:43] Where is the WeatherPanel applet's directory so I can modify the .conf [23:43] fluxy, still doesnt work [23:44] russell: apt-get source _packagename_ [23:44] mamat_, yes I can do that and I am doing that. However because from work I do not have access to SSH I was curious is there is a web based administrative tools [23:44] Malachi: you say run windows from "inside" ubuntu - can I use the version of xp on my other hard disk? [23:44] plux: ahh, cool, then everything seems ok [23:44] i had issues with it but when i tried direct install it worked fine [23:44] cdavis_: it just means the key can't be veriefied.. i wouldn't worry too much [23:44] At what quality is Ogg Vorbis considered to reach transparency? [23:44] plux: thanks for you time, I will try and investigate further [23:44] TheEagle: Yes, if both HDs are on the same PC. [23:44] Jowi: can one burn a cd from the console? [23:44] yes [23:44] how fast will it be [23:44] plux: its the first time I try and do something serious about my NXT [23:44] cdavis_: every download is signed with a certificate.. if you don't have the key you can't check it [23:44] Ljorring: if i remember correctly, was a while ago i played with that. :) [23:44] TheEagle: You can allocate the memory you want for it. [23:44] Pir8: there are tiny ssh clients you can fit on a floppy... [23:44] Thanks so much Malachi, I knew there had to be a way! [23:44] Ljorring: noproblem [23:44] vincenz, yes, of course. cdrecord should be able to handle it. [23:45] I have 256MB of RAM - so what would you reccoment [23:45] !info cdrecord [23:45] cdrecord: command line CD writing tool. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 10:2.01.01a33-0ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 539 kB, installed size 1224 kB [23:45] serenityUK, OK, thanks [23:45] TheEagle: Actually, I don't know if Virtualbox will allow this, but VMWare, a commercial virtualization, will. [23:45] mamat_, it isn't about ssh clients. My work network is restrictive to the point where I cannot SSH out from work. [23:45] TheEagle, it depends on how much memory you have [23:45] Jowi: I do not wish to be annoying, but coudl you get me the url for the ubuntu gutsy cd so I can wget it? [23:45] TheEagle: If you have 256, you'll have a tough time running it. [23:45] has anyone gotten flash to work in firefox ? [23:45] is the gutsy install dvd broken?

See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [23:45] TheEagle: It's possible, but 128 for Ubuntu and 128 for Windows is stretching it. [23:46] cdavis_: is it from a 3rd party.. you can install keys they are just text files.. there should be instructions [23:46] vincenz, which platform would you like? [23:46] kaminix: 160kbps apparently [23:46] Jowi: well it's a pentium, so I guess i386? [23:46] Malachi: ok thanks, ill try later [23:46] centrino, that is [23:46] vincenz, ok. which mirror/country?

I was hoping to play it with mplayer so I can do it fullscreen [23:49] serenityUK, i love the buzzcocks [23:49] Pir8: have you looked at webmin/ssh doc for running it on port 80? [23:49] rainwalker: IT is still there for the future release [23:49] is there a way to use 'noapic' on the live cd?

[23:50] how do i get 3g2 videos to work? [23:50] TheEagle: Dont even ASK that in here [23:50] please [23:50] TheEagle: Really, we can't address this question. [23:50] lesshaste_: if you have compiz fusion you can zoom in using winkey+scroll wheel.. you can never download videos because they have DRm that deletes themselves after 7 days [23:50] whit gobby [23:50] Guys, best mp3 player for Ubuntu? Something like WinAmp [23:50] serenityUK, you can normally play flash videos with mplayer somehow.. or use downloadhelper [23:50] beep media player [23:50] Leo1989, i like amarok [23:50] serenityUK, but I can't get it to work yet :) [23:50] brabbit: 'never mind the buzzcocks' is a comedy panel game in the UK [23:50] Leo1989: xmms [23:50] Leo1989: Amarok is awesome. [23:51] Amarok is for KDE isn't it? [23:51] beep media player is xmms with gtk and xmms is a winamp clone [23:51] Leo1989: You can also run it on GNOME.
