[00:40] should have system tray icon enabled by default [00:40] yaztromo: it doesn't.. never had one afaik [00:40] thanks slart [00:40] ok, im d/ling a program to check that now [00:41] Skfarek: Ok ehh - is it working now? [00:41] zombiepig, Well that answers my second question also :) Does it work in tty's? ( trying to figure out if it's an X configuration problem or more general ) [00:41] Cpudan80: no [00:41] Slart - try preferences - alerts - enable system tray icon [00:41] I all, I have a quick question regarding wireless adapters [00:42] Skfarek: So you did the sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg command? [00:42] I see the device in the terminal, but it says that its disabled, how do i enable it? [00:42] yaztromo: no alerts in preferences [00:42] yep [00:42] yaztromo: what version? [00:42] end sudo reboot after that [00:42] testing [00:42] 2.8.4 [00:42] gutsy [00:42] Skfarek: hrm... [00:42] Kiran, In what way do you "see" it, what is saying that it is "disabled" ? [00:42] Slart, you using xchat or xchat-gnome? [00:42] yaztromo: xchat-gnome is a 0.16.. you're not using xchat are you? [00:42] Skfarek: Does the debug log give any clues? [00:43] ahh, no im just using plain xchat [00:43] i typed in: "sudo lshw -C network" [00:43] and it shows my wirleess device, and it says: DISABLED [00:43] jordan_u: how can i check that? [00:43] Cpudan80: no [00:43] anyone in the mood to solve a terrible problem on linux? [00:43] Cpudan80: http://www.google.pl/search?hl=pl&client=firefox-a&rls=com.ubuntu%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=%22debug+log+dumped+due+to+signal+11%22&btnG=Szukaj&lr= [00:43] yaztromo: ah.. yes... the big brother with all the switches.. I'm using the slightly dumber cousin =) [00:43] I'm always in the mood, but the problem would be the issue [00:43] Cpudan80: it extactly the same like there [00:43] i just did sudo apt-get install xchat [00:43] nickrud: alright [00:44] nickrud: it has to do with my synaptic manager i think, thats where it started [00:44] What is the proper way to eject a USB device (non-flash drive)? [00:44] yaztromo: I like the gnome gui.. I have xchat installed too.. just don't use it [00:44] zombiepig, ctrl+alt+F1 to get to a tty, but FIRST, note that to get back to X again you will need to press ctrl + alt + F7 [00:44] anybody help me install madwifi drivers? [00:44] PurpZeY, right click and unmount [00:44] Cpudan80: i'm thinking about reinstall ubuntu and before start X, just do udaptes from the console [00:44] sam, and? [00:44] already downloaded and extracted to desktop [00:44] PurpZeY, What type of device is it? [00:44] HardDisk: It will appear there in "Computer"? [00:44] after i install xserver-xgl, mplayer won't properly full screen anymore [00:44] why is that? :X [00:44] nickrud: ok so when i try to open it this appears: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [00:44] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [00:44] Jordan_U: Bluetooth Dongle [00:44] Skfarek: That's probably a good idea [00:44] i have a nvidia gpu [00:44] Cpudan80: looks the same, but synaptic sometime sux [00:45] Cpudan80: hmm [00:45] PurpZeY, if it's bluetooth, just take it out [00:45] sam_, in a terminal, run sudo dpkg --configure -a [00:45] sam_: so, did you? [00:45] hi, a bit of a strange question but when running ubuntu as a vmware guest on an OSX host, the mac scroller doesnt work in ubuntu.... [00:45] Cpudan80: i check RAM and HDD no bad sectors etc [00:45] nickrud: so of course i typed in dpkg --configure -a in terminal [00:45] Skfarek: Does your laptop have an ATI graphics card? [00:45] nickrud: and that got me: [00:45] Slart: Do you mind me asking, How do I run gnome-xchat? [00:45] Cpudan80: but there is still one think [00:45] jordan_u: no - it's not working there either [00:45] i know this is far fetched but anyone knows something [00:45] HardDisk: I was warned that is not a create thing to do...If it's OK, I'll do it. . . [00:45] sam_: prefix with sudo as nickrud said [00:45] sam_, don't paste here [00:45] Cpudan80: no, intel 965 AFAIR [00:45] great* [00:45] hrm... [00:45] nickrud: ? [00:45] yaztromo: you install it.. there's a package.. xchat-gnome or something [00:45] !info xchat-gnome [00:45] PurpZeY, if it was a USB storage device you have to unmount, since its a bluetooth dongle no worries. [00:45] xchat-gnome: a new frontend to the popular X-Chat IRC client. In component main, is optional. Version 1:0.18-0ubuntu3 (gutsy), package size 313 kB, installed size 816 kB [00:45] thanks:) [00:45] sam_: sudo dpkg --configure -a [00:45] prefix? [00:46] sam_, thought you were about to show us a bunch of lines, and did you do the sudo version? [00:46] sam_: the opposite of postfix? :P [00:46] Cpudan80: i use XFS filesystem and the / partition is about 120GB, there shouldn't be any problem of this, should it? [00:46] Does anyone know how to enable a network device, Ubuntu recognizes it and I know it recognizes it because when i type in: "sudo lshw -C network", it shows all the properties of my wireless device, and it also says DISABLED, anybody know how to enable it? [00:46] PurpZeY, the bluetooth dongle would be like plugging in a mouse or keyboard. [00:46] uh guys can you pretend im a noob at linux [00:46] Skfarek: I wouldn't think so... [00:46] and i dont know what any of that means [00:46] Hello, I may have identified the problem with a laptop I'm working on. Someone with a similar problem had Xclient script instead of GNOME running as a session. Assuming that is the problem, how do I enable GNOME instead of Xclient script? [00:46] HardDisk: Ok cool....Yeah, I wanted to be the cool kid in town who can use a Wiimote as a mouse...:) [00:46] sam_, when you run a system command, you need to give yourself permission, and sudo is the tool [00:46] PurpZeY, nice :) [00:46] nickrud: oh yea of course i use sudo [00:47] sam_, ok, good so far [00:47] Hey, how do I make apt faster? [00:47] Cpudan80: at least i can split the partition on 2, if i have to, what do you think? [00:47] nickrud: but This package is an installer package, it does not actually contain the [00:47] J2SDK documentation. You will need to go download one of the [00:47] archives: [00:47] jdk-1_5_0-doc.zip jdk-1_5_0-doc-ja.zip shows up [00:47] sam_, ah, you still working on that? [00:47] zombiepig, May be language settings, I would try a LiveCD like someone else suggested, not sure where to go from there though [00:47] Skfarek: You could -- but I mean there is virtually no limit to the size of an XFS disk [00:47] make apt faster? [00:47] nickrud: lol...you noticed earlier? [00:47] huh? [00:47] DARKGuy, At downloading or installing packages? [00:47] Cpudan80: i think so too [00:48] sam_, yes, wasn't it LjL trying to get you thru it? [00:48] nickrud: apparently i cant install anything now because of it [00:48] Skfarek: The limit is something like 20 Million TB [00:48] Slart, I think there is a plugin you need to enable/get for sys tray icon [00:48] jordan_u: ok, will try. thanks for the pointers! [00:48] Jordan_U: installing, right before it installs and after it installs. The time it takes to read the package list is absurd [00:48] sam_, ok, run sudo apt-get -f install and then put the complete output on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [00:48] DARKGuy, at downloading, get a faster connection, at installing, get a faster CPU :) [00:48] yaztromo: oh? not that I really minimize xchat any more.. I've got 6 desktops after all =) [00:48] ah time it reads [00:48] HardDisk: I can't believe 3.2Ghz isn't enough [00:48] what you need is a faster harddrive then [00:48] Cpudan80: btw. when i reboot Ubuntu i've got a lot of errors with Network Managers, nm_print_open_socks() [00:48] DARKGuy, How long does it take for you, for me it's practically nothing [00:49] Cpudan80: is it normall? [00:49] no [00:49] how can i configure startx to inicialize fluxbow like default x-window ? [00:49] Sounds like the upgrade borked [00:49] Just reinstall [00:49] hello all, i keep getting this message "NT_STATUS_LOGON_TYPE_NOT_GRANTED" when ever i try to list the directories with smbclient -L hostname. [00:49] Skfarek: the console msgs when Ubuntu is being shutdown/rebooted? normal I think [00:49] Ok, I have a question of opinion: VMWare or Virt. Box? [00:49] how can i configure startx to inicialize fluxbox like default x-window ? [00:49] You can roll back the upgrade I think.... but if it's not too much trouble to kill it... [00:49] scguy318: normal? :) [00:49] the shares on my linuxbox works fine both on the windows/linux browsers though [00:49] sander, What do you mean "like default x-window" ? [00:49] nickrud: ok heres the link i got from that: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49447/ [00:49] error message for firestarter (device etho not ready) suggestions? [00:50] Jordan_U: yes [00:50] sander, Do you just want it to be the default window manager? [00:50] hmm.. can anyone tell me why ubuntu hasn't upgraded my xchat version?? gutsy has 0.18 and I'm still running 0.16 [00:50] anybody? [00:50] HardDisk, Jordan_U: Well, it isn't much when the OS doesn't have much stuff installed, but when I start to install tons of programs and libraries it starts to take up its time... HD problems shouldn't be - I changed from Ext3 to XFS because Ext3 is slow as hell and lagged my comp badly. Right now it's at it should be, but I don't think my HD is slow... 80Gb 7200RPM IDE Seagate Barracuda :/ [00:50] know how to enable a wireless device? [00:50] Jordan_U: yes [00:50] sam_, next, run the sudo dpkg --configure -a and pastebin that [00:50] Slart, Thats cool then. I only use two so I have a lot systray stuff [00:51] Jordan_U: to be possible started with startx command... understand? [00:51] HardDisk, Jordan_U: Windows takes less time in reading a 150Mb .txt file in Notepad++ [00:51] DARKGuy, I don't know what it is you want, you seem to be very unsatisfied. [00:51] scguy318: why do you think it's normal? ;) [00:51] HardDisk, Jordan_U: So the list can't be that long oO [00:51] error message for firestarter (device etho not ready) suggestions? [00:51] nickrud: ok i got this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49448/ [00:51] DARKGuy, Might be fragmentation ( XFS can get fragmented IIRC ) [00:51] ext3 contains journalling [00:51] Just installed ubuntu gutsy and trying to get elisa svn working under it (0.3.2 from repos works fine) anyone succeeded in doing this? (its sleepy time in #elisa) [00:51] HardDisk: apt takes a lot of time to read its package list :/ it shouldn't take that long :( [00:52] XFS gets fragmented [00:52] sam_, did you get the zip file? [00:52] oO it does?! [00:52] Skfarek: because I've seen those NetworkManager messages on every single Ubuntu machine i've worked with, with no ill effects [00:52] joy, back to Windows times o.o [00:52] Skfarek: I could be dead wrong though === Tribes_ is now known as Tribes [00:52] yaztromo: you meant the xchat-systray package, right? [00:52] nickrud: you mean the one it asks when i run sudo dpkg --configure -a? [00:52] Jordan_U: when i type startx here, gnome is loaded, and i has installed the fluxbox, is very small.. and i want if possible, change startx to start fluxbox [00:52] sam_, yes, [00:52] nickrud: well i followed the link and wasnt sure which to get [00:52] currently getting segfaults on pigment/examples/pypgm/sphere [00:52] Skfarek: Actually, scguy318 is right to a point -- the network manager can spit out some errors related to DHCP and stuff on startup/shutdown [00:52] But a whole barrage of errors is not normal [00:53] DARKGuy, Just to test a hunch, how long does it take for you to run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" ? [00:53] Jordan_U: its possible? [00:53] stupid [00:53] sander, Yes [00:53] on my other laptop with 7.10 (from dist-upgrade) there isn't any problem like that [00:53] Jordan_U: oO 2 seconds [00:53] Jordan_U: how can i do this? [00:53] Slart, yes === Bardamu is now known as SSZ [00:54] nickrud: wasnt sure which jdk 5.0 to download when i followed the link [00:54] sam_, go to the download link for j2se 5.0 documentation, then get the zip [00:54] which is too long for him === enigmata is now known as FullMon-T [00:55] sam_, you want the documentation, not the jdk [00:55] nickrud: is that the net beans one, java EE, or update 14 one [00:55] sam_, none. scroll down the page, look for documentation [00:55] sander, I don't remember exactly, you might try reading "man startx" or check wiki.ubuntu.com [00:55] nickrud umm the source code? [00:55] nickrud, oh i see [00:55] Question: How can I prevent an icon from being displayed on the desktop for things that are automatically mounted? [00:55] hello all, i keep getting this message "NT_STATUS_LOGON_TYPE_NOT_GRANTED" when ever i try to list the directories with smbclient -L hostname. [00:56] ok.. another question.. if I just run "xchat-gnome" in a terminal.. it starts xchat-gnome v0.16... if I manually run /usr/bin/xchat-gnome it starts v0.18... how can is see which one the single "xchat-gnome" starts? [00:56] sam, then choose the one without ja (meaning japanese ;) [00:56] hi [00:56] nickrud, ok downloading it (the english of course) [00:56] anakin_: You need to supply a user/pass [00:56] Slart, type which xchat-gnome [00:56] Slart, "which xchat-gnome" [00:56] HardDisk, I got access to the files (its mounted and i can read/write). Thanks for your help [00:56] besides reinstalling ubuntu, is there any other way i can "reinstall" or "format" my computer? [00:57] anakin_: Basically, it's saying that you don't have rights to do whatever it is you are trying to do [00:57] ahh.. nice.. thanks [00:57] np boo__ [00:57] billenium, What are you trying to accomplish? [00:57] thanks Jordan, nickrud [00:57] nickrud: im guessing i put it in the tmp folder? [00:57] Slart, np [00:57] I still can't boot to windows, though. [00:57] Cpudan80: but i do. for some reason the samba login dialog shows that i am using guest@hostname as my credentials. i enter a different thing (an administrator level user/pass) and it keeps showing the password dialog repeatedly [00:57] Jurgeni: Alt+F2. Enter gconf-editor. Navigate to apps->nautilus->desktop. Deselect volumes_visible.. [00:57] sam_, download it to your desktop first [00:57] boo, you have to add windows to the grub menu [00:57] nickrud: yep i did [00:58] Jordan_U: i want my computer to basically have no files on it, except the files you first get when you install ubuntu... i guess im trying to say [00:58] Hello, there. I never had the chance to try a wireless connection, and tomorrow I will be "forced" to. I'm gonna try to setup Ubuntu, and use the hotspot that Starbucks gives you. How tough will it be with Ubuntu to connect to that wifi spot? [00:58] Bah, he left. [00:58] it's already there [00:58] anakin_: Enter the username as SERVER_NAME\USER [00:58] but nothing happens when i select it [00:58] ok [00:58] sam_, ok, type this: cd ~/Desktop && sudo cp jdk-1_5_0-doc.zip /tmp [00:58] anakin_: The IP would also work in place of the name [00:58] asn_: Which version of Ubuntu are you using, and which wireless card do you have? [00:58] pidgin doesn't support jabber anymore??? [00:58] livingdaylight: It does. [00:58] well 1) make sure that its loaded correctly, and 2) after you fixed your partition you may need to fdisk /mbr again then add grub then add windows to the grub [00:59] Fujitsu, in the 'add' i don't see jabber in the drop down menu? [00:59] nickrud: ok did that [00:59] Jordan_U: any ideas? [00:59] *add account [00:59] HardDisk: 2 seconds isn't what apt takes into reading the package list :P [00:59] is there a way to fix overheating issues on a t60p running gutsy? [00:59] sam_, now sudo dpkg --configure -a [00:59] livingdaylight: XMPP is the proper name for Jabber. [00:59] Fujitsu: 7.10. The laptop is not mine, so I don't know. [01:00] is there anything specific in menu.lst for grub that i need for windows? [01:00] Fujitsu, they changed it! it used to always be in there simply under jabber, right> [01:00] Fujitsu: I just want to know if there is a nice cute GUI tool to connect to wireless nodes [01:00] livingdaylight: Ages ago, I think. [01:00] nickrud: its installing and stuff [01:00] it just points to (hd0,0_ [01:00] nickrud: ok done [01:00] sam_, after it's done, run sudo apt-get -f install , just for certainty [01:00] asn_: For 7.04 and above, the NetworkManager icon in the system tray will let you easily connect. [01:00] Fujitsu, nah... not even that long ago... wtf is xmpp anyways? [01:00] I see. Thank you, Fujitsu [01:00] nickrud: done [01:01] livingdaylight: eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol. Jabber is what it was called before it was a proper standard, IIRC. [01:01] sam_, now, try synaptic [01:01] is there a way to fix overheating issues on a t60p running gutsy? [01:01] nickrud: your a lifesaver! [01:01] Fujitsu, wow, ic... thank you... Now i just don't remember how to set my jabber up again, lol :p [01:01] nickrud: works now awesome [01:01] what s the Domain? [01:01] sam_, save that copy of the java docs, in case you ever uninstall and want to reinstall [01:02] nickrud: does it mean java works now? [01:02] sam_: hmm, so just installing java from the website fixed the issue? [01:02] sam_, no, you just have the docs. To get java, install sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin [01:03] indygunfreak: well the synaptic problem is fixed at least [01:03] livingdaylight: Probably the bit after the @. [01:03] sam_: lol.. [01:03] nickrud: ok so ill do that through synaptic manager right? [01:03] Hi, whenever i add vga=791 to my line in menu.lst, i get a black screen after grub. Any ideas? [01:03] nickrud: what caused that issue?.. i tried to figure that one out for a while. [01:03] IndyGunFreak, no, he installed the docs, which need to be downloaded separately. [01:03] sam_, yes [01:03] ok. [01:03] JoeThomas: usplash probably disagrees with the framebuffer settings. Try removing the `splash' option from the kernel. [01:03] indygunfreak: yea i think we went through alot of trouble for nothing [01:03] Fujitsu, strange i also added the google account and it says xmpp there too [01:04] sam_: sounds like it.... [01:04] !jabber [01:04] jabber is a free and open source instant messaging protocol, unlike MSN and AIM. Supporting clients on Linux: Kopete (KDE), Gaim (GNOME). For more info see http://www.jabber.org [01:04] livingdaylight: Google Talk is XMPP. [01:04] Fujitsu: alright thanks ill give it a shot. [01:04] Fujitsu, but jabber is xmpp too...? [01:04] it ain't gonna conflict having the two accounts? [01:04] livingdaylight: Jabber is another name for XMPP. Google Talk is a rebranded version of Jabber. [01:04] hey guys [01:04] is there a way to fix overheating issues on a t60p running gutsy? [01:04] how do i get the volume control to control the sound for oss? it seems set up for alsa, & i can't seem to get it to control volume for things like amarok [01:04] Pidgin will handle multiple accounts fine. [01:05] what package name does beryl manager fall under? [01:05] I have many dvd movies ripped into .mkv .avi .mp4 containers and such.. are there any programs that manage video files? such as amarok for movies? .. something that will catalog them, create playlists, etc.. etc.. [01:05] pteague, try right clicking the volume control, and selecting preferences [01:05] saxony: Beryl no longer exists [01:05] Fujitsu: well, Google Talk is its own proprietary protocol, if I'm not mistaken, but it has an XMPP gateway [01:05] saxony: If you're using Ubuntu 7.10, you want compizconfig-settings-manager. [01:06] yeah, did that [01:06] !ccsm | saxony [01:06] saxony: 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 [01:06] scguy318: No. It is normal XMPP with some extensions for audio chat. [01:06] ok [01:06] Fujitsu: ah ok [01:06] madman91: none that I know of.. let me know if you find one [01:06] Slart: mmk, will do [01:06] I can't get Pidgin GUI's to come up after upgrading to 7.10... Apparently it replaced GAIM? I know it is running in the background because I'm on on another machine, and message windows pop up on this one... But no GUI... [01:07] Smurf-Slayer: You mean the contact list is absent, but message windows work fine? [01:07] Smurf-Slayer, don't use pidgin much, but is there an icon in the notification area of the taskbar? [01:08] Smurf-Slayer: just uninstall it and compile it from source [01:08] * nickrud hexes IndyGunFreak [01:08] nickrud: lol.. [01:08] IndyGunFreak: ... what a useless answer. Please don't give that answer. [01:08] nickrud: its not that hard to compile..lol [01:08] is there a way to fix overheating issues on a t60p running gutsy? [01:08] so, does anyone know of a movie cataloging program? like amarok for music? create playlists, sort by title/artist/etc.. ... anybody any ideas? [01:08] Fujitsu: its not useless at all. [01:09] the version in the repos, is well behind the curent version hosted ont he site. [01:09] IndyGunFreak: It is about as counterproductive as one can get. [01:09] Oh how devastatingly terrible. [01:09] same thing for blender as well, the latest isnt in the repos [01:09] Fujitsu: well, what can i say, i always compile pidgin, and mine is working fine on 3 pc's [01:09] must not be to bad of an idea. [01:09] ok i seem to be running into another problem.. [01:09] pidgin works great for me on winxp and ubuntu [01:09] sigh [01:09] anyway, back to Smurf-Slayer 's problem [01:10] Fujitsu - No contact list or anything, and nothing on the application tool bar, but if I'm on on another machine the messages windows show up, and I can communicate from this machine... [01:10] im using pidgin in winxp now [01:10] Smurf-Slayer: Hmm... What happens if you open up a terminal and run it from there? [01:10] How do I use the Video Playback feature In the compiz settings? [01:10] indygunfreak: isn't ubuntu supposed to be able to deal with .rar files? [01:10] sam_: no [01:10] I have uninstalled it, and reinstalled it... But I have not tried to build it, don't know how. [01:10] !rar | sam_ [01:10] sam_: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [01:10] sam_: If one installs unrar-free or unrar-nonfree. [01:10] indygunfreak: ok [01:10] I'm trying to use my USB dvd burner, I've never used it before how would I find out where it is so I can mount and use it to burn disc? [01:10] ok, i got the little volume controller in gnome to control the volume in amarok... but how do i now set it up so that my media keyboard's volume controller will affect that? [01:11] fujitsu: ah i see [01:11] sam_: there is a rar package.. if you install it you can open rar-files just like zips in file-roller etc [01:11] Fujitsu - I get an error message, you can see it at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49424 [01:11] how do I put NWLINK in my Ubuntu? [01:11] xange: If you plug it in, and open up Places->CD/DVD Creator, you should be able to burn from there. [01:11] slart: just wish they wouldnt make opening files so complicated... [01:11] !nwlink [01:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about nwlink - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:11] pteague, system->prefs->keyboard Shortcuts, highlight the operation you want, press the media key [01:11] Smurf-Slayer: That's fairly normal. [01:11] Places? [01:12] xange: The menu next to Applications. [01:12] sam_: well.. it's a one-liner in the terminal.. tar.zip is the linux way I guess [01:12] alguém sabe? [01:12] woops, sorry in Fluxbox...was giving it a try...I'll switch back to Gnome [01:12] do anybody know? Novel Link [01:12] !pt | quittt [01:12] quittt: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [01:12] fujitsu - That's what I was told... But the GUI doesn't work, and I don't know what to do about it... [01:12] Slart, sorry, I was thinking in portuguese thus I wrote it in portuguese haha [01:13] quittt: no worries =) [01:13] how do I connect my Ubuntu with a HUB? [01:13] nickrud> well that's just it... it currently sets a volume & can mute/unmute, but apparently doesn't affect oss [01:13] quittt: Plug it in. [01:14] pteague: Why are you using OSS? [01:14] Fujitsu, can I use NWLINK on Linux? [01:14] slart: ok it says the free program unrar-free, in the universe repository supports rar [01:14] no idea why... cause that's what amarok seems to be using? & i can't seem to get it to work with alsa? it says it can't find a demux [01:14] slart: so that means i have it already? [01:14] quittt: I don't know what it is. [01:14] sam_: It's not installed by default. [01:15] fujitsu: where do i go to download it? [01:15] sam_: Synaptic. [01:15] fujitsu: ohh right [01:15] lol sam_ [01:15] Is libc6 and # [01:15] libpcap0.8 installed by default? [01:16] asn_: The latter isn't, but I think you might find that not a single application on your system would run without the former. [01:16] ive checked the md5 of this iso file. its fine. and a different brand CDs. it wont burn. the actualy size is 695MBs, not 712. do i need different burner software? [01:16] sam_: sorry.. was away.. Fujitsu speaks wisely.. I'd listen to his advice =) [01:16] Fujitsu: Thanks, again. [01:16] Anyone know what program is used to create a video of the desktop? [01:17] !burning | bluedaisy, try using the software specified on the link at the end of this [01:17] bluedaisy, try using the software specified on the link at the end of this: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus cd burner (Gnome), gtoaster, xcdroast, cdrecord (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [01:17] !capture [01:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about capture - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:17] How do you re-attach tear off menu? [01:17] thank you [01:17] Montego: One could try gtk-recordmydesktop [01:17] Montego, or istanbul [01:17] ixlam: Try clicking the close button, if it has one. [01:18] I wonder if ubotu is keeping track of all the requests for factoids.. perhaps implement the most common ones that are missing.. [01:18] Slart, you can suggest one, try ubotu capture is ..... [01:18] how do I install compiz? [01:18] Good Night :) [01:19] Will give it a shot . Do either programs make it easy to find the video once it has captured it? [01:19] BruceM91: If you are using Ubuntu 7.10, it is installed by default. [01:19] I cant find it [01:19] Fujitsu >> no close button on menu .. its the menu from volume control panel [01:19] is there a utility for configuring mouse buttons in gutsy? [01:19] should i be using alsa instead of oss? or something else? [01:19] whats gutsy? [01:19] BruceM91: System->Appearance->Visual Effects. [01:19] pteague: You should be using ALSA. [01:19] bluedaisy, 7.10 [01:19] nickrud: if there was a list of "most common requests missing" I might do just that =) don't know much about capture though [01:19] bluedaisy: Ubuntu 7.10 [01:19] ah, ok [01:20] Slart, likewise, but there is a factoid that lists a bunch. [01:20] if I dissable "tear offs" will need to restart no ? .. is there a wat to "alt+ ?? " or similar ? [01:20] nickrud: mm.. there is a webpage too.. lists them in popularity order... but I haven't seen anything that hints at it keeping count of the missing ones [01:20] my sensors-applet, which I have set to show me the temperature of my cpu is displaying three temperatures. I have a centrino duo processor on a t60p. when I go to preferences, it says its showing me the temp for two ACPI devices, titled THM1 and THM0, and then one ibm-acpi device that is simply called CPU. any ideas why I'm getting three temperatures? [01:21] grr, the appearance window froze [01:21] Slart, you could ask about it in #ubuntu-bots I think [01:21] ezzieyguywuf: usually there are more than one temperature sensor.. one on the cpu.. one on the motherboard.. one .. some place else.. you'll have to check the motherboard documentation to find out where they are [01:22] does anybody has a link with instructions to how to install aiglx in gutsy??? i already have compiz fusion working [01:22] Slart, a good project if there is a record, and maybe they just hadn't thought of it yet [01:22] nickrud: ah.. a project for the christmas holidays. thanks =) [01:22] cocox: You're probably using AIGLX, then. [01:22] "The Composite Extension is not available" [01:22] Fujitsu, how can i check [01:22] Compiz uses either AIGLX or Xgl, and Xgl needs a lot of manual setup. [01:22] slart: ok, so am I getting the same temperature read from three places or is it the temp of each processor, with the third temp simply being an overall temp? [01:22] BruceM91: What kind of video card are you using? [01:22] try using / install envy [01:23] Please don't suggest Envy. [01:23] Envy breaks things. [01:23] Ati Radeon [01:23] ezzieyguywuf: check the motherboard documentation.. it's different on different processors/motherboards.. [01:23] ok [01:23] i,ve an build in intel [01:23] slart: ok thank you [01:23] Hey! [01:23] nickrud istanbul did record something. Says saving to disk.. WOuld you have any Idea where I would look for the finished vid? [01:23] works perfect for me ... any reason in particular? [01:23] BruceM91: You're out of luck for Ubuntu 7.10 - ATI's drivers (except for the very latest version) don't support Composite, which is needed for Compiz Fusion. [01:23] !envy [01:23] Montego, iirc your home directory [01:23] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [01:23] ixlam: Have you ever tried to upgrade with it? [01:23] is there a ubuntu channel where we can talk about stuff other then support? [01:23] Allenwr: #ubuntu-offtopic [01:24] thanks [01:24] that sucks, but thanks for the answer [01:24] not yet .. but thanks for the heads up ! [01:24] BruceM91: Thankyou proprietary drivers. [01:24] why does the master volume control seem to have no effect on the PCM volume? [01:24] ixlam: some of these "3rd party" installers do strange things, use weird shortcuts, use undocumented features etc... sometimes it breaks things in a way that's hard to fix later on [01:24] pteague: Using Intel ICH5 chipset, or other ICH? [01:24] I know I did enable a restricted driver, when I did that on another comp, beryl worked fine [01:24] Nickrud ...Ok thanks. I love this Help channel. You guys make it as painless as possible. [01:25] Slart: More `most' than `some' [01:25] BruceM91: It probably doesn't have an ATI graphics card. [01:25] BruceM91, if you have your direct rendering working, you can install xserver-xgl , then you can enable compiz. [01:25] I am pretty sure this comp doesnt [01:26] Fujitsu: hehe.. i haven't tried them all... decided to be nice about it =) [01:26] is there a utility for configuring mouse buttons in gutsy? [01:26] what was 7.10 named again? [01:26] gutsy [01:26] gutsy [01:26] BruceM91: `Gutsy Gibbon' [01:27] thanks [01:27] two part names are tough to type :) [01:27] im trying to install the ubuntu kernel sources is this the same as "sudo apt-get install build-essential" [01:27] ICH4 [01:27] pteague: they are different things.. master volume usually affects input from line in, microphone, midi etc.. pcm is just the part playing normal sounds..the blips and boings [01:27] Neronious: no [01:27] !kernel > Neronious (Neronious, see the private message from Ubotu) [01:28] !intelhda | pteague [01:28] pteague: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [01:28] thanks ljl [01:28] pteague: but this differs from different sound cards/drivers.. it's just a general observation [01:29] Neronious: nope.. the build-essential just sets up the compiling enviroment.. installs compiler, linker, some basic libs etc.. kernel sources/headers is a different package [01:30] has anyone by chance been able to get sound in the gateway ml1309 laptop in ubuntu? [01:33] Fujitsu: my "tear offs" are disabled and still the menu is torn off ?.... without restart is there a way to attach ? [01:33] I just lost my top bar with my menus how do I get it back? === hugglehug-gone is now known as Neskaya [01:34] ixlam: What if you close the tear-off? Which application?

[01:35] kurisutofuaa: Do you have a terminal open? [01:35] Anyone know about internet connection sharing? I'm using firestarter and a router. Can ping back and forth, but no connection sharing. [01:35] nickrud would you happen to know what file extension that istanbul uses to save the file. I can't find where it's located. [01:35] for the Gnome Volume control. I disabled and closed then re-opened and still it id detached [01:35] Fujitsu: Yes I have a term open [01:36] kurisutofuaa: Try running gnome-panel [01:36] Noone in the AWN channel is on or helping... will anyone lend me a hand installing AWN? everything I do fails [01:36] quinton: What do you mean it fails? [01:36] yea, I got the same problem [01:36] but it could be the ati card [01:36] fujitsu, just doesnt let me, says its all wrong [01:36] whoops new problem.. [01:36] What's all wrong!? [01:37] I know when I tried it it wasnt working in the terminal [01:37] fujitsu, no links work, it doesnt find them, [01:38] Fujitsu: that brought it back up (something to add to my list of commands to remember) thanks [01:38] fujitsu, I just need someone to guide me to make it work correctly and uninstall kiba-dock [01:38] I used this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=572019 and it works perfectly [01:39] I get an error when I try to install simdock [01:39] ixlam, actually i dont want it to be curvy like that, i want it to mimic mac os X [01:40] you can jsut change that .. its just a "style " /appearance you can select [01:40] ixlam, oh [01:40] how can i restore ubuntu to its original settings (sort of like formating/restoring) [01:40] ilam, i will try, thank you [01:41] billenium: Why do you want to do that? [01:41] so I downloaded a tar.gz of simdock, and I have a bunch of files(I am assuming source), how would I install that [01:41] hey can someone help me with winrar files again?

[01:41] it didn't work with free-rar or whatever [01:41] sam:7zop [01:42] 7zip [01:42] billenium: You could reinstall, or remove your home directory (/home/username) [01:42] btw. is it possible to set 1400x1050 in fb?

I basically want all changes i have ever made removed [01:49] LHoT: You probably want to install libxext-dev. [01:49] billenium: Ah, no. [01:49] Fujitsu, i like to find out if there is any error (whatever error it is) , when is it manufacture, how long does it operate? [01:49] =\ [01:49] how do you log in as root? [01:49] cyzie: Try using smartctl from the smart-mon-tools package. [01:50] If I run 'glxgears', I get an error about an undefined symbol:drmCloseOnce [01:50] BruceM91: Log in as your user, and use sudo -i [01:50] Fujitsu: With apt, right? [01:50] LHoT: Correct. [01:50] the only problem is the CD... When it gets to the Desktop screen (LiveCD) all the letters are boxes and when i double click on the Install Icon thing nothing comes up... [01:50] Awesome. [01:50] so, for example, log in as brucem sudo -i [01:50] billenium: try the alternate cd [01:50] that will work === cryptnix- is now known as cryptnix [01:50] alternate CD?

[01:51] Tonki, i dont understand =\ [01:51] i only received one CD [01:51] indygunfreak, that doesnt answer anything why it wont let me replace the file as admin [01:51] Fujitsu: If I run 'glxgears', I get an error about an undefined symbol:drmCloseOnce [01:51] BruceM91, you need to sudo: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list -w [01:51] quinton: you're not doing it right. [01:51] indygunfreak, ? [01:51] thanks [01:52] ok but theres an option for textual interface too imho [01:52] quinton: what are you trying to do, replace your current source list, or edit it? [01:52] i mean quinton [01:52] quinton: and yes, it would hav eanswered your question [01:52] you jus tneed to not be lazy and read it [01:52] Tonki: where? [01:52] indygunfreak, k [01:53] installed libxext-dev, same error [01:53] :( [01:53] yaztromo, sudo: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list -w [01:53] !find Xrandr.h [01:53] when you bootup with cd - where you select to boot the livecd [01:53] yaztromo, doesnt work [01:53] Package/file xrandr.h does not exist in gutsy [01:53] how can i know if i have aiglx installed? i looked in synaptic and nothing is there???

[01:54] yaztromo, I just need to add the lines for AWN [01:54] cocox: It's not a package. If you're using Compiz, and haven't set up Xgl, you're using it. [01:54] Tonki: i do not remember seeing that option.. it was only like "Install Ubuntu" and some other ones... [01:54] IndyGunFreak, Maybe not, i dunno, all you have to do is edit it then hit ctrl-x [01:54] hey, anybody know how to setup a ftp server, that can stream ? [01:54] but i dont remember textual interface [01:54] IndyGunFreak, nothing wrong with nano for new users. [01:54] how do I make an app run at startup? [01:55] Fujitsu, but when i try to activate desktop efects y received and error message [01:55] Fujitsu, I'm using a restricted driver, would that be causing a problem? [01:55] HardDisk: do you just like to disagree with me? [01:55] no seriously [01:55] I'm not saying it to spite you. [01:55] LHoT: No. [01:55] BruceM91 in sessions, i think in the administration menu [01:55] every time i load a flash video applet on a website such as youtube - firefox freezes [01:55] BruceM91: system->preferences->sessions [01:55] i didn't say there was anything wrong with it.. i aske dhim if it was the best choice for a new user [01:55] Fujitsu, and the only way to make it work is installing xserver-xgl [01:55] gedit is what I usually let new users use. [01:55] anybody know how to setup a streaming ftp server? [01:55] HardDisk: my point exactly [01:55] cocox: Install xserver-xgl, then. If you're using that, you won't need AIGLX. [01:55] yaztromo, it wont let me save over the old when i add them lines [01:55] but nothing wrong with nano, something to get them familiar with cli look. [01:56] * robdig likes vim, but agrees that new users should probably use gedit :) [01:56] Tonki: my choices are "Start or Install Ubuntu; Start Ubuntu in safe graphics mode; Check CD for defects; [01:56] Memory Test [01:56] and boot from first harddisk [01:56] HardDisk: i didn't say there was anything wrong with nano.. [01:56] re-examine what i said before commenting [01:56] billenium, true did you try the safe graphics-mode [01:56] I know. [01:56] Fujitsu i installed it but my pc becomes slower so i wanted to try with aiglx [01:56] Tonki: no [01:56] ill try now i guess [01:56] brb [01:56] anybody, how can you stream video through an ftp server? [01:56] I'm just saying nothing wrong with letting new users use it, even if it's not the best first alternative. [01:56] I used nano when i first used nix, it is awesome, but i can see your point IndyGunFreak yes [01:56] cocox: AIGLX is the default. What kind of graphics card do you have? [01:57] i installed now firefox32 bits in my ubuntu amd64.everything works fine including java and flash. however the type of letter or the font size are weird. what is the problem? [01:57] r3n0c: FTP doesn't stream... [01:57] Fujitsu build-in intel [01:57] Fujitsu ok, lol i dind't think it did, but what would i run to setup a streaming server? [01:57] try it and if that doesnt work check for defects [01:57] cocox: That should have Compiz activated by default in Ubuntu 7.10 [01:57] yaztromo: then if you're comfortable with it, thats fine.. but i'd say you're in the minority [01:57] noelferreira, msttcorefonts? [01:57] Fujitsu so that i could stream media [01:57] Fujitsu yeah compiz is activated... but when i want to activated destok effects it doesnt work [01:58] cocox: Desktop Effects *is* Compiz. [01:58] Fujitsu the only way is installing xserver-xgl [01:58] also this "fixes" your font configuration http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=16896 [01:58] Anyone know what program I can use to capture a desktop vid . As the one's used on Youtube. Istanbule not working for me. [01:58] what are msttcorefonsts? [01:58] Fujitsu yeah by default desktop effects doesnt work [01:58] Montego: What do you mean it won't work? [01:58] what are msttcorefonsts? HardDisk [01:58] Fujitsu i have to install xserver-xgl [01:59] ms fonts [01:59] Fujitsu but my computer becomes slower [01:59] Fujitsu that why i wanna try aiglx [01:59] noelferreira, sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts [01:59] cocox: what video card? [01:59] IndyGunFreak, what is wrong with nano. It gives new uses a good taste of an easy CLI editor [01:59] for cryin out loud.. [01:59] lol [01:59] does nobody here understand english comprehension? [01:59] crdlb buildin intel [01:59] your sentence is flawed. [01:59] How can I update the linux kernel? [01:59] IndyGunFreak: I don't get what you're saying. [02:00] * Fujitsu ducks. [02:00] i didn't even begin to suggest, anything was wrong w/ nano [02:00] cocox: ok you definitely don't want Xgl then [02:00] crdlb why ? [02:00] "does nobody" is flawed english. [02:00] hi [02:00] cocox: what's the output of 'lspci | grep VGA' ? [02:00] crdlb that is why i wanna try aixgl [02:00] ok HardDisk by the way do you know if there is an amd64 version os skype 2.0?

[02:01] !permissions | quinton [02:01] quinton: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [02:01] Poolguy, "Did you try to turn it on" [02:01] well, it works, but i dont have the proper resolution. [02:02] yes HD. [02:02] Fujitsu It's in syn? [02:02] Poolguy: What kind of graphics card? Which version of Ubuntu are you using? [02:02] Montego: Of course. [02:02] ok [02:02] quinton: what command did you type in the terminal in order to add the line to your source list? [02:02] well resolution issues, is not necessarily a monitor issue. [02:02] 7.04 and i am using beryl. [02:02] if you werent root when you edited sources.list it won't work - did you definitely use sudo? [02:02] i have a crappy GeForce 5200FX [02:02] Poolguy: many of those monitors have multiple video inputs you have to switch...have you made sure you have the monitor set to the right input? [02:02] Poolguy, do you have restricted nvidia drivers enabled? [02:02] indygunfreak, gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [02:03] quinton: you've not listened to a word anyone has said here, so im not gonna bother pointing out the obvious [02:03] quinton, sudo gedit [02:03] Poolguy: In a terminal, with the monitor plugged in and on, try `sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg', the reboot, and see if it's better. [02:03] it runs at 1024x768 fine, but that is the max resolution available on the pulldown menu. [02:03] quinton, you need to use "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" [02:03] quinton: Stick gksudo before that. [02:03] or gksudo :) [02:03] :) [02:03] i am not sure about the restricted drivers. [02:03] i don't get it, he was told that like, i don't know, at least 5-6x... [02:03] IndyGunFreak: I know.. [02:03] Poolguy: change the monitor then...there's ones for most every resolution [02:03] thus spurring the debate over nano [02:03] IndyGunFreak, that is expected in this room :) [02:03] yes, which spawned is into a nano debate ! [02:04] HardDisk: well, when you're told the answer repeatedly, its time to start ignoring them [02:04] yay, I finally got a dock to work in ubuntu [02:04] change the monitor? [02:04] Poolguy, system/admin/restricted and check the nvidia restricted drivers are enabled first. [02:04] IndyGunFreak, I'm with you brotha. [02:04] HardDisk, no or about sudo , if he changes a pref using sudo it'll write as root to his home config [02:04] indygunfreak, sorry [02:05] sudo gives "temporary root access" [02:05] is there a defragmentation tool in Ubuntu? [02:05] indygunfreak, worked [02:05] quinton: no need to tell me sorry, just when you have 10 people telling you how to fix it.. listen [02:05] * RedHeron prefers sudo -i [02:05] il12, if your HD is in EXT3 you don't need defragmenters [02:05] Poolguy: in system -> admin -> screens and graphics...change it from "plug and play" to the monitor size you have [02:05] indygunfreak now i get a different message [02:05] HardDisk, with /home/ as root, gksudo sets it as /root (as does sudo -i) [02:05] especially when they more or less say the same thing [02:05] looking for tools to manage user preferences; do we have anything, for instance that would sync firefox and tbird prefs (without a third party server)? or a gconf with diff? [02:05] quinton: fire away [02:06] that is why we use sudo for our lovely new users, and not gksudo [02:06] HardDisk: it's an external USB connected HDD...I'm unsure of what EXT3 is [02:06] Fujitsu does gtk-recordmydesktop save file to Home dir? [02:06] Montego: I'm not quite sure. [02:06] indygunfreak, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=572019 on the last step after Then finally: it sells me to type the last sudo command. it cannot find the file it needs [02:06] when i tried the system/admin/restricted in the command it said no such file or directory [02:06] ah so you want to defragment your external HD [02:06] Ok How about file ext. ogg ? [02:06] HardDisk: gksudo gives temporary root access too. [02:07] HardDisk: gksudo is preferred for graphical applications, or you're likely to break permissions. [02:07] hello people [02:07] break permissions? hardly. [02:07] ok, i installed fluxbox and then tried fbdesk and now when i come back into gnome normally i got a nautilus error and my background is gone and all desktop icons ? what do i do ?? [02:07] anyone have an HP media center PC? [02:07] HardDisk: yes, so that I can install Kubuntu onto it to try so that I can compare it with Ubuntu, so if I don't like Kubuntu I don't have to redo everything I've done on ubuntu. [02:07] indygunfreak, Was that uhm.. understanding enough? [02:07] Fujitsu do you know if it save as .ogg? [02:07] HardDisk: Ahem. [02:07] Montego: I've not used it. [02:07] Ok [02:07] quinton: yes, i'm readin git... are you sure you're copying htat line correctly? [02:07] !gksudo | HardDisk [02:07] HardDisk: 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) [02:07] indygunfreak, yes, I copy it word for word [02:07] meh [02:07] quinton: hang on [02:08] !help! how do i change the virtual desktop behavior... like moving windows between desktops...? [02:08] indygunfreak, sure [02:08] in my restricted drivers manager, I have the NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver enabled [02:08] anyone here have an HP media center PC? [02:08] fine got pwned by my own idiocy. [02:08] that's besides the point. :) [02:08] how can I play mp4 on totem? [02:08] ok, i installed fluxbox and then tried fbdesk and now when i come back into gnome normally i got a nautilus error and my background is gone and all desktop icons ? what do i do ?? [02:08] luis, I have a hp pc running vista? [02:08] heh. I can relate to that [02:08] quinton: go here, and just download the appropriate deb file for your distro.. http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=Avant+Window+Navigator [02:08] no yaztromo, I have ubuntu on my media center PC [02:08] lol [02:08] Poolguy, in terminal, sudo nvidia-settings [02:09] and change your resolution [02:09] Hello... I am running Feisty on a headless machine. I would like to use do x11 forwarding to a windows box. I have an x server setup on windows, and I use putty for ssh. /etc/ssh/sshd_config has x11 forwarding allowed. I get Xlib: connection to "localhost:10.0" refused by server when attempting to run a x app. Any ideas? [02:09] indygunfreak, after that type the same line? [02:09] apply, write to x conf [02:09] thats ok then :) [02:09] but I have a question, yaz, does your media center PC have a slot for a memory stick pro duo? [02:09] quinton: no [02:09] just download the .deb file [02:09] So.... can anyone tell me how I would defragment my external drive? [02:09] luis, no, just usb slots [02:09] oh [02:09] because mine has for pro [02:09] il12, if you're installing ubuntu/kubuntu on that drive, you do not need to defrag. [02:09] but not pro duo :( [02:09] indygunfreak, and install [02:09] il12, what kind of partition? [02:10] ok hardDisk....what am i looking for in here? [02:10] quinton: yup, just double click the .deb file [02:10] oh wait, the think came with an adaptor, nice [02:10] ubuntu will format it to ext3, which will not require defragmenting [02:10] indygundreak, worked perfect [02:10] is there any way to chat with sound in ubuntu for yahoo messenger, please [02:10] Poolguy, change resolution... [02:10] indygunfreak, now to just uninstall kiba dock [02:10] oh i see. [02:10] Question: How do I get Amarok to recognize my ipod in Ubuntu (not Kubuntu)? [02:10] quinton: it should. [02:10] uninstall kiba-dock? [02:10] do i need to restart bofore i plug in my LCD? [02:10] jrattner1, if it's brand new, you can't [02:11] ugh installed everything and .rar files still dont work [02:11] HardDisk: it's not a clean HD, will that make any difference? [02:11] Poolguy, you should do it with your LCD plugged in... [02:11] i had it unplugged cause i put the CRT back on. [02:11] quinton: you can probably do that in synaptic. [02:11] nickrud, really? the new nano won't work with amarok? [02:11] nickrud, i think the new amarok 1.4.8 can right? [02:11] can someone help me out with rar files [02:11] il12, no difference. [02:11] oh. i'll shut down and switch monitors then change that. [02:11] BRB [02:11] jrattner1: Apple does their best to stop anything but iTunes using iPods. [02:11] but who cares for itunes. [02:11] jrattner1: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS has support for them, or should, I believe. [02:11] when there's gtkpod :) [02:11] HardDisk, i think there's the same problem with font config. do i have to configure anything? [02:11] indygunfreak, awn manager isnt opening [02:11] jrattner1, the one in ubuntu can't, nomasteryoda the new libgpod can, but ubuntu doesn't have it (just bought a nano) [02:11] nickrud: my external HDD is a single partition for now, until I install onto it. :) [02:11] can someone help me with chatting on yahoo account with sound in ubuntu [02:11] indygunfreak, odd... [02:11] right [02:12] ipods been working all the time [02:12] that is what i thought [02:12] even with rhythmbox [02:12] and exaile [02:12] and amarok [02:12] etc. [02:12] quinton: what video device do you have? [02:12] and do you have the drivers installed for it. [02:12] il12, do you intend to give the whole drive to linux? if so, no need to defrag. If you aren't, windows does defrags === Hendikens is now known as reisio [02:12] hm, I'm forced to 'sudo dhclient' upon boot to get an IP on my wifi network, any ideas? [02:12] indygunfreak, graphics card? [02:12] question, i have logged in to gnome but i have no desktop icons or background ? need help plz [02:12] noelferreira, just download the .fonts.conf I posted from the forum [02:12] or chipset if its integrated [02:12] HardDisk: so just burn the .iso to a CD, boot from it, click install and then... it will give me the option to choose which drive I want to install it on then, and it won't make a partition that would delete any of my files? [02:12] chrometiger: What happens if you hit Alt+F2 and try to run nautilus? [02:12] indygunfreak, intel pentium 4 and or nvidia 256mb [02:13] nickrud, so what do I need to do to get my DRM-free music from linux to my new ipod in ubuntu? [02:13] il12, it will ask you if you want to resize to give room [02:13] quinton: ok, do you have the nvidia drivers enabled? [02:13] indygunfreak, yes [02:13] asked me to run app [02:13] jrattner1: Wait, and/or don't by products from such a nasty company. [02:13] hey can someone help me with rar files? [02:13] s/by/buy/ [02:13] what forum HardDisk sorrry [02:13] sam_, sudo apt-get install unrar rar [02:13] nickrud: noooo, I already have quite a bit on there, I could recopy it onto this computer if I had to but I'd rather not if I can avoid it without having to go halfway around the world. [02:13] noelferreira, sec [02:13] Fujitsu, but there is no dev software? [02:13] jrattner1, http://www.gtkpod.org/about.html [02:13] so is ubuntu really so great? [02:13] jrattner1: No dev software? What? [02:13] noelferreira, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=16896 [02:14] Zaelyxon: Of course! [02:14] quinton: sorry, i can't explain what problem you might have having, i'm not real familiar w/ avant [02:14] jrattner1, you'll have to build it until hardy [02:14] and what i do with the file HardDisk ? [02:14] Zaelyxon, it's only as great as you find it. [02:14] indygunfreak, also when i try to add it to boot with the sysytem it wont find the file [02:14] is it the best linux? [02:14] is it worth running ubuntu on a usb stick? [02:14] Zaelyxon: That is subjective. [02:14] noelferreira, read the site, it tells you what to do [02:14] Fujitsu: asks me to run and app [02:14] ok [02:14] what is your opinion? [02:14] chrometiger: Right, run nautilus. [02:14] sam_: what prob ar eyou having with unrar? [02:14] nickrud, alright thats not too bad....Atleast there is an option....I'm used to building things anyway I'm an old slacker [02:14] il12, as far as I know, you can't defrag an ntfs disk from ubuntu, [02:14] nickrud, have you heard of anyone making any ubuntu packages for it [02:14] Zaelyxon: My opinion is it's probably the best, but others will think otherwise. I'm biased, though... [02:14] jrattner1, ah, good on you :) [02:15] nickrud, he doesnt need to [02:15] indygunfreak: nevermind harddisk solved it. its always something simple.. [02:15] quinton: sorry i really don't know the answer to your question. [02:15] jrattner1, not yet, but I haven't really looked yet. [02:15] is it great for running games? [02:15] sam_: usually [02:15] is hard disk a bot? [02:15] il12, just install from the cd, and it will ask you to resize, don't worry about it. [02:15] nickrud: ok. but my main concern is that installing onto the hd will partition over some of the files I already have on there. [02:15] lol [02:15] HardDisk, the third gen nano? [02:15] sam_, yes. [02:15] oh ok [02:15] just the name comes off as a bot name [02:15] does anyone know of something that is similiar to Apples Finder but for Ubuntu? [02:15] il12, gparted won't let you resize over files [02:15] nickrud, does not compute. [02:15] hi, trying to configure rtorrent, and i get the following error: Unknown keyword 'URL' in '/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libcurl.pc' [02:15] BruceM91: ... Nautilus, the default file manager? [02:16] is it possible to make a shortcut on the desktop for that? [02:16] HardDisk, the software to support the nano's that play videos (3d gen) didn't get released until nov 11, it's not in ubuntu [02:16] BruceM91: The desktop is Nautilus. [02:16] oh [02:16] Fujitsu: ok thanx, just currious why did it do that after leaving fluxbox and then come back to gnome ? [02:16] HardDisk: so it won't harm any of the files already on that disk? [02:16] chrometiger: No idea. [02:16] nickrud, video ipods yes only recently. [02:17] haha thnx though [02:17] HardDisk, yes, that's what we've been discussing ;p [02:17] is the new ubuntu going to look like this? cause it looks ace [02:17] il12, no, during the installation you will have the option to erase, or resize. [02:17] http://fc02.deviantart.com/fs23/f/2007/323/0/b/Ubuntu_Theme_Mockup___Dark_by_bradwjensen.jpg [02:17] Hey, has anyone here successfully installed the Java sdk with netbeans on Gutsy Gibbon? [02:17] my xsession crashes during login. I looked at .xsession-errors file and it has following: Checking for Xgl: gnome-session: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :1.0. [02:17] mansour: No. [02:17] Er, Menacie ^^ [02:17] well, that didn't do it. [02:17] Menacie, read "Mockup" [02:17] HardDisk: alright, thank you very much. Is there a recommendation you think I should resize to? it's a 500GB and I've got 300GB+ free left on it. [02:17] I have pasted xsession-errors file at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49451/ any ideas why the crash ? [02:18] i tried to change it, and the screen wasn't working at all. [02:18] he must of got the idea from somewhere though [02:18] it reverted back to its 1024x768. [02:18] il12, as a start if you don't want to let ubuntu do it for you, you can do this, create for example 20-50 gigs of unallocated space using your favorite partition manager, then let ubuntu use all free space. [02:18] I also got a bunch of errors in my terminal before the nvidia X server settings window came up. [02:18] Menacie, yes it's called being artistic. [02:19] how would I put a trash icon on the desktop? [02:19] does the xgl that comes with gutsy known to have mem leaks? [02:19] Having trouble installing the sun java sdk 6 with netbeans on Gutsy Gibbon. Seems like there's an issue with the theme opening the installation window. Has anyone done this successfully? [02:19] HardDisk: ok, I don't mind letting ubuntu do it for me, I let it do it on my laptop which I'm on at the moment, I just didn't know if there was a particular size I should ask it to partition the drive to. [02:19] BruceM91, sudo apt-get install gtweakui [02:20] gtweakui for all you new users, you will love [02:20] Here are the errors that I got: [02:20] it allows you to add trash icons, home icons etc to your desktop with much added features.

[02:22] gdesklets [02:22] sam_: a lot of different things. [02:23] i thought it was screenlets? [02:23] and wxWidgets [02:23] or screenlets [02:23] they are all different [02:23] whats the most popular one? [02:23] sam_, screenlets for compiz [02:23] Ew, wxWidgets. [02:23] or best for ubuntu [02:23] screenlets is the most popular. [02:23] the rest suck (and screenlets are not much better) [02:23] true.

[02:24] why me?/ [02:24] Fujitsu gtk-recordmydesktop works but vid is choppy. Thanks will need to work with it and see if I can clean it up. [02:24] it's indy's turn [02:24] cause you were helping me before. [02:24] HardDisk: because you're a bot, remember? ;) [02:25] il12, affirmative. [02:25] Poolguy, that's nothing to worry about. [02:25] is there someone who can get me out of this mess? [02:25] no, someone made a .deb for gutsy, and the .deb for simdock they made wouldnt install withough wswidgets [02:25] Ok, here's a question. I have a box running U 7.04 server. sda1 is EXT3, plenty of free space (38GB disk, 23GB used), and it's got a directory that's being served via samba, so I don't want to reformat. I'm trying up upgrade to 7.10 desktop so I have another linux desktop I can hook to when needed, but the installer insists on formatting sda1. Help? [02:25] ironfoot: what do you mean restore mysql? [02:25] ironfoot, sudo aptitude purge mysql-server-5.0 , say yes to removing databases, and it's history [02:25] burnte: You don't use the installer to upgrade. [02:26] !upgrade | burnte [02:26] burnte: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [02:26] ironfoot, then reinstall [02:26] burnte, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ??? [02:26] HardDisk: dumb question, where does gtweakui install to? as in, under the 'Applications' menu, where is it? [02:26] brb [02:26] Fujitsu, the installer doesn't support sticking in the cd for an upgrade anymore? [02:26] Man, I really didn't want to spend Christmas Eve Eve diagnosing my computer. [02:27] I did say system/preferences [02:27] nickrud: The Desktop CD never did. [02:27] nvm. here. [02:27] Shpook, wait till after xmas. [02:27] nickrud: I have alot of other script that use to run on php but since I tried to hook up ruby on rails I have a real mess on my hands. [02:27] Fujitsu, eh, never used the desktop anyway, don't remember why I thought that [02:27] HardDisk: ty, as I said, it was a dumb question. [02:27] (I kept getting #2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured) [02:28] ironfoot, I'm barely passable with mysql ; you could mysqldump any databases you wanted to keep, or install mysql-admin and do some surgery [02:28] what gid and uid must I use in /etc/fstab to mount a partition with read privileges for everyone? [02:28] ironfoot, and that surpasses my passability :) [02:29] also for you compiz freaks, http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/08/26/compiz-fusion-tray-icon/ I know it's old, but never too old for new users :) [02:29] Hey. Has anyone set up fltk? [02:29] awwc crap, no hints on doing this upgrade with the regular CD, so I don't have to reget the alternative one? [02:29] burnte, can't you sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? [02:29] burnte: It's not possible without reinstalling - the .desktop CD doesn't actually contain the packages. [02:29] well, I want to go from server to desktop. [02:29] Er, s/\.d/D/ [02:29] oh [02:29] fltk? that's so old .... [02:29] my bad. [02:30] nickrud: Hey I appreciate the help. I've come here for a week now and so far you have at least tried to help., and I really apprectiate it. [02:30] Fujitsu: Rats. [02:30] server to desktop.. [02:30] well, thanks, at least I got my answer! [02:30] burnte: You can easily isntall the desktop packages once you've upgraded. [02:30] Hey guys how do I figure out what my mic device is? [02:30] wasn't the IDEAL answer, but it'll have to do. :) [02:30] just apt-get remove server components [02:30] then add gui? [02:30] HardDisk: Why do the former at all? [02:30] former what [02:30] yeah, I won't be removing the server stuff [02:30] HardDisk: just apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [02:30] oh snap [02:30] that easy? [02:30] yea [02:30] That easy, yes. [02:31] or kubuntu-desktop [02:31] or xfce [02:31] Why the hell didn't you people call me before I started this then? ;) [02:31] How do I figure out the device name of my mic? [02:31] need help have a tablet running 7.10 kubunto, trying to get touchpad to work [02:31] you never asked. [02:31] burnte: Your main issue was upgrading, as far as I could see. [02:31] HardDisk: You should have anticipated my need! ;) [02:31] besides when he said server to desktop, I assumed he wanted to get rid of his server components. [02:31] Fujitsu: I'm being facitious, you've been very helpful. [02:31] I appreciated. [02:31] he didn't say he wanted a GUI [02:31] appreciate it, that is. [02:31] so what else can I try HardDisk? [02:31] I CAN SPEEK THE GUD INGLISH! [02:31] Thanks all. [02:32] need help have a tablet running 7.10 kubunto, trying to get touchscreen to work [02:32] grr, cant get the trash app in the simdock [02:32] Poolguy, you could gedit your xorg.conf manually [02:32] its fujitsu stylistic lt 5-500 [02:32] and insert the resolutions you want.

When I boot the CD, what do I do to redo the loader? === Jenesepa is now known as jose [02:33] i added 1680x1050 in and when i started the computer back up, there was nothing showing on the screen. === jose is now known as jose- [02:33] yeah, but does your videocard support that resolution? [02:33] so i switched monitors back to my CRT, and it was in the proper resolution. [02:33] hi all. Iºm having problems with X. [02:33] you cannot output more than what you're videocard allows. [02:34] is some one us the dvorak layout of keymap [02:34] ok. how can i check that? [02:34] Stupid^Kid: I do. [02:34] is there a way to turn off all effects? [02:34] check your videocard device [02:34] jose-: System->Preferences->Appearance->Desktop Effects.

[02:34] I need to redo the MBR for my multi-boot (XP and Gutsy) box.. I have a 7.04 disc. When I boot the CD, what do I do to redo the loader? [02:35] strange, touchscreen should work out of the box..ESPECIALLY with a fujitsu laptop [02:35] monkee: Enable the wacom devices in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:35] a laptop touch screen is a wacom device? [02:35] yea [02:35] StaticVector: What problems do you find? [02:35] Dr_willis: Yep. [02:35] Gah, he left. [02:35] because you touch it.

[02:37] anyone with any experience getting sshd to x11 forward? [02:37] also try #irchelp or similar for irc command help. [02:37] Ziegler: Yes. [02:37] my homepage is google. WHen I open firefox, I url decides to open : http://www.%u.com. That gives me a server not found screen. Once I hit the home icon however, google opens [02:37] Ziegler: ssh -X user@remotehost [02:37] I am running Feisty on a headless machine. I would like to use do x11 forwarding to a windows box. I have an x server setup on windows, and I use putty for ssh. /etc/ssh/sshd_config has x11 forwarding allowed.

F-spot? :) [02:38] I am trying to x11forward to work machine [02:38] Ziegler: Is the X server running? [02:38] yes [02:39] And accepting connections properly? [02:39] xming [02:39] Ziegler: The X server on windows doesn't behave like one on ubuntu, so dunno. [02:39] not sure what causes my problem. the panel on the top of my screen sometimes inverts colors [02:39] x server on windows works fine... [02:39] Ziegler: That would be a problem with your Windows X server, or PuTTY. [02:39] when i try the following command: pkg-config --modversion libcurl / i get the following error: Unknown keyword 'URL' in '/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libcurl.pc', what exactly does this mean??

[02:41] i can use the convenient movements [02:41] hey, can someone help me out with my partition tables/boot sector? i'm using ubuntu and windows, and i can see windows in ubuntu but can't boot it. the problem doesnt involve windows, i'm apparently not getting ntldr loaded so the problem lies in my bootsectors/grub. [02:41] Stupid^Kid: Ah, hjkl and co? [02:41] matrix: well, that kind of depends what window manager you use. :) [02:41] yes [02:41] * Fujitsu avoids them. [02:41] matrix, I'm with you, you might like a lighter desktop. Try installing xubuntu-desktop [02:42] plux: i use KDE [02:42] matrix: try XFCE, or fluxbox [02:42] Hhaha. [02:42] ew, KDE [02:42] Or GNOME, even. [02:42] Fujitsu: however i find a string in vim.org ,but it still doesn't work well [02:42] matrix, I am on gnome but I use xfwm4 :D [02:42] dwm, all the way. Once [02:42] Fujitsu: yeah, better than KDE when low on mem. :) [02:42] * Fujitsu used to use ion3, but then the author got all nasty. [02:43] ok ,xfce is so so not beautiful [02:43] matrix: well, you can skin it [02:43] I am able to from x11forward from another linux box.. just not ubuntu [02:43] can anyone help me?

When I boot the CD, what do I do to redo the loader? [02:43] can we not have a "zomg.. is da bestest cauze im leet" conversations? [02:43] Ziegler: you can x11 forword from any kind of unix via ssh that are running X11, not just Linux. From and to any machine. [02:44] HardDisk- here, here [02:44] jose-, what effects are you trying to turn off [02:44] yes, but I am not able to get ubuntu to do the forwarding [02:44] Ubuntu keeps crashing. If I leave it alone for an hour or more, I can't get the computer to work. The screens are in standby and moving/clicking the mouse or typing on the keyboard doesn't do anything. [02:44] ok, apt-get is looking for linux-image-2.6.20-16-server_2.6.20-16.28_i386.deb and getting a 404, I see blah.33_i386.deb on the servers. [02:44] Ziegler: you must edit your ssh conf [02:44] I am running Feisty on a headless machine. I would like to use do x11 forwarding to a windows box. I have an x server setup on windows, and I use putty for ssh. /etc/ssh/sshd_config has x11 forwarding allowed. I get Xlib: connection to "localhost:10.0" refused by server when attempting to run a x app. Any ideas? [02:44] I just lost 2 hours of work because I forgot to save and left the computer on [02:44] ader10, maybe check a powersafe setting? [02:45] HardDisk: How do I check [02:45] nickrud, the effects are off it seems but I still get residual lines when I minimize windows. [02:45] ader10, as in check first your bios for power saving mode, try to disable it. [02:45] Fujitsu: as you know i can put a language evirnoment variable before app command when typein terminal [02:45] plux ssh conf is edited [02:45] bqmassey- just make sure at the end in the advaned section the "install boot loder on hd0" is checked [02:45] Fujitsu: such as LANGUAGE=jp gimp [02:45] Ziegler, if you can forward from another linux, the issue is not ubuntu. Maybe you can find some putty channel that can fix it [02:45] Ziegler: x11forwording to windows is a pain. Does that setup work with any other machine? [02:45] When i want to "Quit" or shut down etc..nothing comes up when i hit the button [02:45] hal9000: i'm not reinstalling the system.. just need to reintall grub [02:45] ader10: Are you using desktop effects with an nvidia card? [02:46] HardDisk: I know that I don't have that in my bios [02:46] cssource [02:46] Fujitsu: Yes [02:46] nickrud, and often the panel at the top of the screen inverts colors or has blank pieces (wall paper shows) missing... [02:46] well maybe I am not saying this right... I am able to forward x apps from other machines to windows.... the only machine I cannot... is ubuntu machine [02:46] ader10: Try blindly typing your password - you may have a screensaver activated with the infamous compiz+nvidia black windows bug. [02:46] ader10, in that case, check your screensaver settings (power manager) and disable things like turn off monitor etc, and troubleshoot to see if that is causing it. [02:46] Ziegler: Ah sorry missed that part :/ [02:47] bqmassey, if you need to install grub, just boot from a live cd, and type sudo grub. then you just need to type roo (hdx,x) with x's being your hd/part number, then setup (hdx,x) [02:47] Fujitsu: You sound like you know what you're talking about. I'll do that the next time it happens. Is there a known way to fix it yet? [02:47] jose-, oh, I think i saw this earlier, didn't realize it was your problem. I didn't answer because I didn't know :) [02:47] How do i install a bin file? [02:47] and listen to Fujitsu if you do indeed have that issue. [02:47] ive reinstalled grub like 6 times today [02:47] HardDisk: OK. [02:47] thanks boo__ [02:47] like I said could be the screensaver. [02:47] i have PlaneShift_CBV0.3.020-x86.bin on my desktop and i need a command to install it please [02:48] hi all people [02:48] bqmassey- not sure but you could try a "reinstall grub boot " on google [02:48] nickrud, no worries...think anyone else knows?

[02:48] Ziegler: http://www.captain.at/howto-xlib-connection-refused-by-server.php [02:48] can someone help me with my bootsectors/grub? i've been trying to get this working all day [02:48] nickrud, thanks [02:48] boo__: looking thank you [02:49] can someone please tell me how to install PlaneShift_CBV0.3.020-x86.bin?

When I right-click on it and choose Rename it gets ready to rename but ignores all input from my keyboard. Also I can not rename any file/folder in my own home dir! Please help [02:49] Ziegler, then ignore me :) [02:49] HardDisk: This is a very late response, but I can't wait until after Christmas lol [02:49] np nickrud [02:49] nickrud: all help is much appreciated [02:50] anyone here me? [02:50] Fujitsu: Do you know of any way to fix the bug? [02:50] .. [02:50] I'm having some issues getting sound to work (ICH5 AC95) even though install detects everything and all levels look good. I had the system system working with an Audigy card, but pulled it from the PC to get on-board working.

It's an old Socket 478 mobo with AGP [02:52] cipher_nemo_: open up a terminal and "lspci" and see exactly how it idenfiies your sound device [02:52] beryl work in the ubuntu ?? :( [02:52] !compiz [02:52] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [02:52] cipher_nemo: I'm trying to find the faq that helped me get ac95 audio working [02:52] How do I mount remote SMB shares in Ubuntu?

[02:59] barbguar, Wait [02:59] barbguar: rm ./*-1.JPG [02:59] * nickrud considers dvorak [02:59] Okay but they are also in subdirectories [02:59] nickrud: Dvorak is good. [02:59] barbguar, Unless you are absolutely sure you aren't going to delete something you don't want to use rm -i [02:59] barbguar, thats when 'find' comes in handy [02:59] barbguar: rm -rf ./*-1.JPG ?? [02:59] So, anyone ever have problems with programs not opening? [03:00] Ziegler: No. [03:00] They are all in Photos/year/month/date [03:00] Ziegler, Don't use -f unless you need to [03:00] Fujitsu, I've got nearly 40 years of qwerty, I'd probably explode [03:00] rm */*/*-1.jpg? i dunno if that would push it i have no idea [03:00] barbguar: find -name \*-1.JPG | xargs rm [03:00] Fujitsu: isnt r recursive? [03:00] Ziegler: Yes, but not in that way. [03:00] Shpook: sometimes [03:00] Yu dont use */*/* type stuff. :) i belive... [03:00] nickrud: It was painful to throw away a decade of typing ridiculously quickly, but I'm fairly quick again now. [03:00] find and xargs, can handdle that. [03:00] lol ok as the n00b ill shut up now :P [03:01] Dr_willis: I tried that already and it didn't work [03:01] Dr_willis, the man page is a little bare for fusesmb. So far I've created /home/smb and done "fusesmb /home/smb". What do I do from there? [03:01] Dr_willis: That's what I used above. [03:01] barbguar, Didn't work in what way? [03:01] it's driving me crazy...even gtk programs won't open...some of them I can open through terminal or with sh, but onle sometimes [03:01] Shpook: What error does it give? [03:01] Fujitsu, how long do you figure it took you to get reasonably proficient? And how do you deal with machines that aren't yours? [03:01] Shpook: do you see errors when you open in terminal? [03:02] does ubuntu have something like chkdsk? [03:02] Only errors I've gotten were "file not found" but usually it just hangs in terminal. [03:02] is there a good irc channel for playstation emulators [03:02] wolfric, Yes, fsck [03:02] Jordan_U: it said the files didn't exist. [03:02] ty [03:02] wolfric: fsck, but unmount your partition before using it [03:02] barbguar, You probably need to add quotes [03:02] jdlizard: not sure offhand. There are a few of 'em out there, though [03:02] Fujitsu, so what is my problem? [03:02] Creed, cp /usr/share/doc/fusesmb/examples/fusesmb.conf.ex /home/USERNAME/.smb/fusesmb.conf must be done. Then Edit that file.. you needto enter the proper info there. [03:02] nickrud: It's hard to say. After about a day I was only a bit horrible painfully slow, but I can't give much more info... hm... I can still type QWERTY fine, though sometimes end up doing things wrong. [03:02] Creed, and you Need to have your user int he fuse group [03:03] barbguar, Otherwise anything like spaces in the file name will screw things up [03:03] ty iron_angel [03:03] is there a gtk app that is in the repos that will allow you to bind key combinations to start programs (like alt+f starts firefox) or is something like this even built in? [03:03] On a hard reboot, the system is fine for about 30 mins, then it goes downhill [03:03] when using growiso fs what does UBU stand for? [03:03] Dr_willis, thanks! Time to get busy heh [03:03] Creed, example in /etc/group fuse:x:107:willis Is my line. [03:03] Shpook: does dmesg show anything? [03:03] barbguar, And again, you should use rm -i at least at first because files *cannot* be undeleted with ext3, once you rm them they are gone [03:04] Jordan_U: What's wrong wiht a boring old find -name \*-1.JPG | xargs rm? [03:04] i all [03:04] what are the params to apt-get? [03:04] dmitrig01_: To do what? [03:04] hi all, looking for help with wine and itunes [03:04] Creed, BUT the user must totally lot out to get the new group setting.. (or cheat and some how login again with like 'ssh localhost') [03:04] Jordan_U: that seems to have worked [03:04] Fujitsu, Nothing [03:04] Creed, Then you run the smbfuse command [03:04] Thanks for helping everyone [03:04] timroff: Don't even bother to try. [03:04] barbguar, np [03:04] Now I just need to update fspot [03:05] fujitsu: ive got it all installed right, but when i try and open it i get nothing [03:05] timroff, probably #winehq has help on that [03:05] robdig: nothing that I can spot, but I don't exactly know everything to look for [03:05] ok cheers [03:06] timroff: Right, it doesn't work. [03:06] im sorry but how do i use fsck? either im doing something really wrong or the parameters are just really confusing... [03:06] Is there any way to make Ubuntu understand borderless photopaper for printing? Trial and error is getting expensive [03:07] burning cd's what does UBU stand for? [03:07] how do I view the currently running processes and see how much of my computer's resources are being used? [03:07] anyone know a proxy that acctually works on runescape?

I think I need to run alsaconf but it doesn't seem to be on my ubuntu system. [03:22] cipher_nemo: possibly, that's the opposite of what caused my problem. I was using onboard, then switched to a pci card. [03:22] gerzel_, apt-get install alsa? [03:23] alsa is installed. [03:23] Shpook, it may be more similar than we think. What was your resolution? [03:23] crush_grove: does smartmontools do much more then fsck? [03:23] cipher_nemo: in System->Preferences->Sound can you hear anything under any of the options in playback, when you hit test? [03:23] so, does the bcm43xx driver support master mode out of the box and do i need hostapd to be able to actually use it in master mode? [03:23] Would it install something different if I get it through apt? [03:23] hi how do i update gutsy to the latest gnome? [03:23] I'm getting sound out of the card. [03:23] gerzel_, i don't know much about recording [03:23] Shpook: nope, sound or music, I have it continuing to play while I test things, lol. Still nothing :-( [03:24] Ash_Heron: It is the latest GNOME. [03:24] Ash_Heron, you have the latest gnome, [03:24] gnome 2.21.4 has been released [03:24] gerzel_, i do know that a lot of recording hardware isn't supported in linux, though. for instance my USB audio interface doesn't work for linux. [03:24] Ash_Heron, if you really want that, look up jhbuild . But doing it is beyond this channel's support [03:24] hi, how do i do a complete test on the hdd status and save to a log for analysis? [03:24] so um.. about the smartmontools... if that fails is there a backup? [03:24] ok thanks for a place to start :) [03:25] cipher_nemo: what about the latest ac97 driver? [03:25] And I can hear the mic when I turn up its level. However whenever I try to send that sound into any program (ie a voice chat or sound recording) it doesn't record. I also know that this worked with previos versions of ubuntu and slackware. [03:25] Shpook: I even added a line in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base to test (options snd-hda-intel model=3stack) but I don't have the hda chip [03:25] Shpook: where can I get the latest AC97 driver?

[03:28] my corrupted hard drive that i messed up in my previous attempt to install linux [03:28] wolfric2, if you intend to install to that same partition, you don't need to fsck.

[03:29] i got that but how do i set it up?do i need to find the drivers for my tuner? [03:29] wolfric2, erm, from the live cd, run sudo fdisk -l , do you get a partition listing? [03:30] wolfric2: you could try booting the livecd and running gparted on it [03:30] cipher_nemo: yeah, thankfully more and more companies are starting to support *nix platforms [03:30] i got tv time but i just get the blue screen [03:30] =( [03:30] L or I?

[03:32] :) [03:32] wolfric2, try bazz 's suggestion, run gparted from the live cd [03:32] so that was what was supposed to happen? [03:32] gnome partition editor? [03:32] i think that crashed on me aswell let me try again [03:32] wolfric2, there are no partitions to fsck, you need to create new ones, and yes [03:32] i have a dell 700 with intel graphics. my suspend was broken and movies would play in all black.

[03:54] hankdogg, I see that as a feature , but that is a matter of state [03:54] *taste [03:54] but osmetimes it does it out of nowhere..just on a restart for example [03:54] nickrud: gneale yeap, different strokes for different folks, the good thing is with ubuntu/linux, we have a choice [03:55] robdig, you have an evil mind. They'd never do that to us [03:55] Hi! Do you know if I can see how much do I had the computer on [03:55] There's no "out of nowhere" I'm sorry.

[04:09] is it possible to get desktop effects with xgl and NO fglrx? [04:10] is dapper testing or stable? [04:10] sam_: it would help to know what you were trying to install from which repo? [04:10] n00bie: dapper is very stable [04:10] is it possible to rename the machine [04:10] sam: it sounds like you have a " in front of a deb [04:10] is there something special one must do to use DVI from a video card under ubuntu? [04:11] msingh2, at the bash prompt ? [04:11] well I just noticed the icon on top of my screen, i clicked it and found out it was my update manager, then the error showed up [04:11] it should either be just 'deb' and the server address or '#deb' [04:11] Any idea anyone? [04:11] how much stuff do you have on linux? [04:11] crush_groove, wherever... i just dont like the foo-desktop default name i got [04:11] sam_: Have you changed your sources.list or EVER run automatix or envy.. both bad ideas by the way [04:12] a lot, wolfric [04:12] eh...automatix has never done me wrong in the past [04:12] boo__, try running a chkdsk in the recovery console [04:12] would it be worth uninstalling it? or else transfer your windows file over to linux and reinstall windows on a wiped partition? [04:12] jack_sparrow: not that i know of, i recognize seeing automatix somewhere [04:12] or that ^^ [04:12] otto_: It is the single WORST thing you acan do to your computer [04:12] msingh2, at the bash you do it like this gnome-terminal --title=title >> changes term title ie >> gnome-terminal --title=beautiful [04:12] lol [04:12] yaztromo, can i just do fsck from within linux? [04:13] i need to replace "Dapper" in /etc/apt/sources.list to the current testing, anybody knows? [04:13] !automatix > otto_ [04:13] havnt used it since dapper I think but...always got what I needed done [04:13] i dont think fsck has an ntfs check [04:13] sam_: You can post your sources.list to the pastebin.. not in channel.. but the odds are you did use it and that is the start of your problems [04:13] why do you need to do that n00bie? [04:13] kitofhawaii: Aloha & Mahalo [04:13] jack_sparrow: how do i get my sources.list in the first place? [04:13] and yes, with what gutsy has out of the box, there is no need for automatix [04:13] I have used automatix before and I hated it [04:14] sudo geded /etc/apt/sources.list in a terminal [04:14] Jack_Sparrow: aloha :) mele kalikimaka :) [04:14] otto_: i wanna move to testing i've been in debian before and :%s/stable/unstable/g is not working here. so i justt need one word, ONE. [04:14] sorry thats gedit [04:14] sam_: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [04:14] jack_sparrow: the only thing i remember seeing automatix is when i was trying to fix my sound, it was one of the options along with easy ubuntu [04:14] n00bie: that is not a good idea. you want to upgrade to the next version and so on till you get to testing. or download the alpha2 cd and do a fresh install [04:14] and...gksudo yeah...dont listen to me [04:14] I'm ALiVE! yay me ^-^ [04:15] sam_: It has NEVER been recommended by this channel [04:15] i know what i'm doing could you pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease tell me the ONE word i need? is it edgy? [04:15] ok [04:15] otto_: Use gksudo for gui apps [04:15] yaztromo, what if the check turns up good? [04:15] jack_sparrow: yea i forgot where im positive i didnt even touch automatix though [04:15] hi, ifs it possible to share a modem/PPP (over a mobile data card) connection "out" from a LAN port? (such that i can plug the LAN from the box into any existing router's uplink port, like say, a linksys wrt54g) [04:15] i miss sid :( [04:15] the current testing release? well I would vote hardy but...thats a big upgrade and will probably break dapper [04:15] n00bie: if you knew what you were doing you wouldnt do it [04:16] Jack_Sparrow gksudo is a pain I mainly use sudo for my superuser duities I am the only user anyways [04:16] wolfric, do you have any proposed solutions? [04:16] sam_: Automatix has a nasty habit of biting you during an update or upgrade [04:16] n00bie: join #ubuntu+1 [04:16] thanks for not mentioning the only word i need, i'll go back to debian you guys simply suck. [04:16] jack_sparrow: ohhh yea i touched my sourceslist for wine [04:16] boo__, id be surprised if it did. but if it does then its beyond me :( [04:16] Shadow147: that is a bad isea [04:16] bleh [04:16] idea [04:16] ok wait [04:16] jack_sparrow: on the bottom i put ## Wine, Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10): [04:16] deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt gutsy main [04:16] deb-src http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt gutsy main [04:16] “deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/screenlets gutsy screenlets” [04:17] n00bie: we suck because we dont want you to break your sysytem === _max329 is now known as max329 [04:17] sam_: Sorry I cant help you since you didnt listen.. [04:17] your problem is the quotes around the last one sam [04:17] enjoy debian [04:17] jack_sparrow: wha?? [04:17] i've been in debian for over 5 years in sid IdleOne, and if i wanna know ubuntu i can't do it? [04:17] Jack_Sparrow well I don't use gksudo because it's too much a problem for me [04:17] jack_sparrow: so im just screwed? [04:17] n00bie: join #ubuntu+1 please [04:17] Shadow147: using sudo for gui apps will lead to trashed permissions.. [04:17] i have tried and tried to get sound to work on aMSN with no luck.. ive edited the .tcl files config.xml files and still no luck.. the cam works but no sound from the other end. the sound works in Preferences tho. any ideas? [04:18] what should i do about this hidden partition? [04:18] There's soo much shnit to learn about Linux. I can't even get the stupid Matrix Screen Saver as my background. I'll be damned if I ever get Wine to do anything >_< [04:18] sam_: fix the quotes. [04:18] jack_sparrow: just delete it? [04:18] n00bie, testing at the moment can be considered "hardy" [04:18] i guess [04:18] sam_: remove the quotes or # rem it out [04:18] Jack_Sparrow well I don't use it for gui apps just for updates and installing deb files [04:18] hello i have a question why in kde if i press the remote place then samba share it faster than place -> network in gnome? [04:18] jack_sparrow: well the bottom one the screenlets i dont need anyway i can just delete [04:19] anyone know what packages will install libssl-dev? [04:19] jack_sparrow: ah problem solved hahah [04:19] openssh-server? [04:19] !paste > sam_: [04:19] jack_sparrow: the updates work now [04:19] n00bie Ubuntu is Debian Based so just going back to Debian is really just a waste of time and energy [04:19] !find libssl [04:19] Found: libssl-ocaml, libssl-ocaml-dev, libssl-dev, libssl0.9.8, libssl0.9.8-dbg [04:19] Today the update manager told me to install updates.. I did.. and now Grub gives me "Error 15: File Not Found" if i choose any of the three Ubuntu selections.. help! [04:20] jack_sparrow: just deleted the last line for screenlets, i put the quotes wrong anyway [04:20] av [04:20] hi [04:20] Shadow147: i have not seen ONE single point on moving really to ubuntu, i'm just trying it and this is just not my thing but i wanna give it a try. [04:20] sam_: np... in the future, please use the pastebin === otto_ is now known as ottothecow [04:20] bqmassy what updates did it install? [04:20] jack_sparrow: k [04:20] Shadow147: I don't remember.. there were many [04:21] bqmassy ok [04:21] when I play an mp3 in totem, it freaks out and hogs the cpu and then that search deamon flips out too and i have to reboot [04:21] sam_: 10 - 15 thousand messages a day in here... dont need the spam [04:21] * ottothecow waves goodbye to bqmassey's kernel [04:21] smash: using wine can be an exercise in frustration. I mean, they're recreating an api that's only partly documented, so it tends to be frustrating. [04:21] i have a question why in kde if i press the remote place then samba share it faster than place -> network in gnome? [04:21] !paste > ottothecow [04:21] bqmassy any updates the messed with the kernel or the kernel hearders [04:21] headers* [04:21] goodnight all [04:21] yaztromo, is there anything else I can do from the recovery console? [04:22] zylmak: beats the devil out of me. [04:22] Shadow147: thatse exactly what they were [04:22] boo__, the chkdsk turned out ok? [04:22] bqmassy ok [04:22] im about to go run it [04:22] in ubuntu just to see my server it take between 2 to 5 min in kde its instant [04:22] but it's a hassle to keep rebooting [04:23] bqmassy hmm [04:23] hey boo [04:23] Icedtea is dieing on my x86-64 machine, is this a documented bug? [04:23] do a slow startup and check to see if there are any cmos errors just incase thats whats causing it not grub === shawn__ is now known as shawn3 [04:24] hello all [04:24] bqmassy did you take note of what was the previous setup in grub or lilo of the kernels? [04:24] i cant think of anything except fixboot and fixmbr, which will completely overwrite grub [04:24] hey muaddib [04:24] ok, I have gotten the Ubuntu setup all the way to the part where you set the partitioning configs, but I want to makesure that it installs on my external HDD but does NOT wipe the data from it. How do I need to do this? [04:24] I am trying to get fluxbuntu to install off of the cd it is not bootable it just skips it I have sucessfully installed xubuntu so i know my cd burning techniques are correct. [04:24] Hello, when trying to play x264 576p video in mplayer on my desktop with 2.5 GHz cpu and 512 MB RAM, the video appears very slowed down. Any help would be very appreciated :) [04:25] Shpook: if you're still around, I updated the Ac97 drivers smoothly, but it didn't help. I gave up on that and put my Audigy card back into the PC [04:25] excelle: Did you md5sum the image of fluxbuntu when you downloaded it? [04:25] shawn3 I would suggest you use VLC [04:25] is there a way to setup a listening vncviewer ? [04:25] no i will try that thanks [04:25] Shadow147: setup? [04:25] so that someone can connect to me and I can view their screen ? [04:25] shawn3: What video card do you have? [04:25] Shadow147, I will try this, but I am still unsure of why mplayer would be slow as my friend has a 1.8 GHz cpu and even 720p has no lag [04:25] so i dont have to deal with their firewall [04:26] xcthulhu, it's an intel integrated card [04:26] shawn3 thats weird [04:26] bqmassy what grub or lilo shows at boot like memtest86+ [04:26] open pgp key what is? [04:26] xcthulhu, I've been told the video card does not actually play a major role in playing HD video, it's more the cpu, is this true? [04:26] shawn3: ick. Do you know if xorg is using vesafb or a native driver? [04:26] osmosis, not that I know of but you could try ssh tunneling [04:27] My remote (native as HID in Ubuntu) has the volume control mapped to a sound device that is disabled. Any way I can remap it to work with the master volume of my sound card? [04:27] shawn3: Not sure. [04:27] Shadow147: grub still loads.. it errors out if i select any of the three ubuntu options.. including memtest86_ [04:27] yo my system locks up can I turn up the log level somehow to trace it ? [04:27] xcthulhu, how do I tell if xorg is using vesafb or native driver? I think it was recognized during installation [04:27] trouble with wifi; the drivers no longer show in restricted drivers... [04:27] shawn3: Are you using 7.10? [04:27] xcthulhu, yes i am [04:28] bqmassy ok then grub is not looking for the right kernel and boot sequence [04:28] hi all, somebody have aver seen this: "Dec 24 05:21:28 claudio-desktop sudo: claudio : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/home/claudio ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/users-admin" [04:28] !gcc [04:28] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [04:28] and how to solve [04:28] shawn3: system->administration->screens and graphics [04:28] how do i boot from a remote cdrom? [04:28] shawn3 I have a an old p3 processor and I can play vids just fine [04:29] xcthulhu, what am i looking for exactly? [04:29] shawn3: then, go to the graphics tab [04:29] It should have a thing that says "driver" [04:29] Shadow147: how do i fix that? i've already forced windows to overwrite the MBR, and then restored grub [04:29] xcthulhu it says intel experimental modsetting driver... [04:29] how do I stop xchat from blinking in the taskbar? [04:29] i have tried and tried to get sound to work on aMSN with no luck.. ive edited the .tcl files config.xml files and still no luck.. the cam works but no sound from the other end. the sound works in Preferences tho. any ideas? [04:29] shawn3: that's the right one then. [04:30] shawn3 most likely you don't have the right driver for your graphics card [04:30] Shadow147, that's the thing, I thought it would be fine to play 576p but it's slow [04:30] anyone know how to get an mirc style channel list in xchat? [04:30] Shadow147 I figured it would be the right driver, it's a common desktop I thought, a bit old: Dell Dimension 2400 [04:30] yo my system locks up randomly, can I turn up the log level somehow to trace it ? [04:30] shawn3 what type of grapics card you have [04:31] Shadow147, integrated intel graphics card, the driver is apparently intel experimental modsetting something or other [04:31] Is there a way I can mount SMB shares (or any kind of share) and have VLC or something similair be able to stream-play files from it? [04:32] what to do if restricted drivers can't see the broadcom stuff? [04:32] shawn3 ew intergrated graphics cards have many problems with vids and other types of problems [04:32] anyone know how to get tvtime to recognize my tv tuner [04:32] bqmassey: what happened to you? you can also boot linux from windows boot loader [04:32] Shadow147 do you recommend I get a PCI graphics card? [04:32] shawn3 yes [04:33] i know this isnt exactly to do with ubuntu but can you get custom written bios packages that will run on most boards? [04:33] Shadow147 I do not think my motherboard supports AGP but is there a way to tell?

[04:33] <]tyndareus]> hi all [04:33] it probably supports AGP [04:33] so thats where i would get the drivers from?video for linux? [04:33] it has got to be quite old not to [04:33] shawn3 just look for a AGP slot on your motherboard [04:33] or pretty new [04:33] i dont wnat to have to uninstall ubuntu but i dont think my current bios can handle it it keeps kicking it back to default when i boot up theres something it doesnt like [04:34] shawn3: Can you find the exact model of your graphics card? [04:34] Shadow147 all right will do [04:34] snurtle, you need to check if there is a mod that can see your tunner .. I'll pm you.. [04:34] shawn3: you might need to google it to make sure you have the right driver... [04:34] shawn3 I would Suggest a Nvidia Card or ATI Card [04:34] Shadow147: any advice to my Grub happy? [04:34] how do i boot from a remote cdrom? [04:34] you can get a lot of older/used nvidia or ati cards online for dirt cheap [04:34] xcthulhu I'm not sure how I would find the exact model, I know that I have a Dell Dimension 2400 with whatever integrated card it came with [04:34] bqmassey try looking around the forum for a solution [04:35] <]tyndareus]> any ideas why K3b takes an awful amount of time to load up. I have dual layer memorex drive [04:35] Is there a way I can mount SMB shares (or any kind of share) and have VLC or something similair be able to stream-play files from it?\ [04:35] shawn3: You might try typing the command 'dmesg' and dig around in that until you see some mention of your graphics card [04:35] snurtle, what tvcard you got? [04:35] There's also Preferences->Hardware Info [04:35] Creed, I used to use something that did that...let me see if I can remember [04:36] crap, I was peeling apples....if anyone sees cipher_nemo around, try and give him a hand with his audio [04:36] used to be a default part of mandrake [04:36] xcthulhu what about lspci if perhaps it's a pci card? [04:36] its a built in tv tuner came with sony desktop [04:36] Ok I verified the md5sum of my iso and it matched and other reasons my fluxbuntu install cd will not boot automatically ? [04:36] letme find the name hold on [04:36] shawn3: There's lots of ways to probe your hardware. I'd give that a shot [04:36] maybe resort to digging through dmesg last [04:36] VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) [04:36] VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) [04:36] ottothecow, alright. I cant seem to get fusesmb working so any alternatives would be helpful. [04:37] snurtle, try a lspci to see if it get's recognized by the system.. that's your first step. [04:37] shit i cant find the name...its a pci tv tuner but came with the desktop [04:37] xcthulhu, i wonder how to tell if the driver is correct, just google? [04:37] is there any way to keep my icons on the taskbar from changing there positions? [04:37] im sorry to sound dumb but lspci? [04:37] snurtle, watch the language, this is a family -friendly channel. [04:38] shawn3 aw man intergrated cards share memory so overall performance is hurt big time [04:38] snurtle, open a terminal and type lspci... lspci will list whatever is on your pci bus. [04:38] Shadow147 what if I got more RAM? [04:38] shawn3: yup [04:38] shawn3: just google [04:38] shawn3 that will hwlp [04:38] <]tyndareus]> trying to burn dvds with k3b but it executes very slowly [04:38] Creed, I mean you could certainly do it by hand with smbmount [04:39] What are good virtualisation apps out there?

[04:39] Shadow147 I know just the right RAM to get from newegg, hopefully it'll work out.

[04:40] anyone know why I cant get a my Fluxbuntu Install cd to Boot. I verified the md5sum. they are the same any other reasons my cd would be messed up i burned it at slow speed to make sure it wasnt bad media [04:40] ottothecow, smbmount doesnt allow programs like VLC or XMMS to see th share and stream things from it sadly :( [04:40] is QEMU free? [04:40] snurtle, ok.. it seems the chip it uses is CX23416 [04:40] ares623, yes [04:40] shawn3 make sure to look at your RAM boards and find out how much more ram it can support [04:40] shawn3: hmm... yeah, it probably is. [04:40] thanks.. [04:40] Creed, if you install smbfs and mount it, it doesnt show up in the browser for vlc? [04:40] Alright, to re-iterate, i'm having problems with programs not opening. I finally got an error message from one. Here it is: [04:40] shawn3 your computer can [04:40] Oh yeah, does it support video cards? [04:41] Shadow147 how can i tell by looking at the ram boards [04:41] so, now, type lsmod | grep CX23416 to see if something that manages it, is loaded.

[04:42] hey; trying to get ubuntu to copy my laptop screen onto a LCD I have.. the problem is, at the main login screen - it works, after you login, my monitor says no support.. any ideas? [04:42] shawn3: Linux takes available ram for buffers and cache :) [04:42] so how do i go about getting thatto work with tv time?

[04:43] arooni-mobile: for palm or for windows mobile?

[04:43] snurtle, I googled CX23416 and it's just an encoder.. not the tuner itself.. [04:43] xcthulhu the only thing i try to run is mplayer, i wonder if not loading up gnome would help, but i think i've tried that before and it didn't work [04:43] slavik, windows mobile 6 pro [04:43] Benalex: I want to create an ubuntu install on a partable drive without rebooting and such [04:44] arooni-mobile: try the wiki ...

[04:44] shawn3 your system may support 1.5GB of Ram I know mine may only support another 512MB of Ram [04:44] shawn3: What's using up all of your memory? [04:44] snurtle, there is no such thing as driver, we call it modules... you need to find the module that supports your tuner and then load it.. [04:44] slavik, where od i find it [04:44] shawn3: It's probably something you don't need... [04:44] xcthulhu i'm not sure actually, ps aux listed a bunch of stuff [04:44] in the search ... [04:45] ok thank you [04:45] shawn3: You have to crawl the mem% column [04:45] snurtle, so, first thing, you might be better pasting the lspci to ubuntu's pastebin to let me have a look at it.

I removed compiz. Metacity is running. Metacity is set to be the current and default window manager in gconf. I am using Clearlooks for the theme. The problem is that the window icon is misaligned (it is about the distance from the side of the window as the gnome menu is wide.) [04:45] ottothecow, isnt smbfs deprecated in favor of cifs? [04:45] I am also missing the minimize, maximize and close buttons at the top of my window.

[05:31] use vista's own inbuilt app to shrink it [05:31] all partition resize software is dodgy [05:31] HardDisk, i would do that, but my X is not working, so i am left on terminal, so i can't google [05:31] sure HardDisk, but it's a nice exercise [05:31] HardDisk, now you tell me :) [05:31] gparted on vista :) haahaha [05:31] guys, how to i copy a file using scp if it has line breaks in the name? (sorry, not exactly a ubuntu question) [05:31] besides [05:31] gary4gar: apt-get install links [05:31] you should be upgrading to xp [05:31] zero88: I prefer to use the stand alone gparted LIVECD rather than the one in the ubuntu livecd [05:31] Jack_Sparrow, that's lame, cause it's the same. [05:31] Nikolai: supply the proper values, xvrefresh= et al, xmodule=nvidia .. google knoppix or kanotix cheat codes, some if not most work on the ubuntu install cd ... google your monitor if you don't know the proper values [05:31] sksol: Use wildcards, like ? and * [05:32] oo, thanks [05:32] chicken and chips :D [05:32] HardDisk: Behave.. they are NOT the same [05:32] Nikolai: He said Nikolai: use the xvrefresh and hvrefresh directives on the boot: line and see also xmodule [05:32] Jack_Sparrow, ok [05:32] Jack_Sparrow, they are.

I am using lampp from apache friends and when I try to change the config file it says I don't have the permissions to change it [05:47] HinHin: Install zlib1g-dev [05:47] how do I fix that? [05:47] there's nothing about video cards _at all_ in the bios [05:47] Fujitsu, it's already installed [05:47] i installed it ealier... [05:47] Random832: check the cmos for options for video, open case and physically look at the board for jumpers saying onboard video [05:47] ... [05:47] Schmick i cant figure out the "short" part..., has power, unless the my new vantec ion power jack is messed up [05:47] you cannot have both enabled. [05:47] shawnst, edit it with gksudo gedit , you need give yourself admin privileges to edit files outside your home [05:48] is there any way to just make ubuntu - or even just X, use the pci card? both show up in lspci [05:48] Random832: are you sure? under advanced -> integrated peripherals often [05:48] um, how the hell can't I have both enabled? people use multiple video cards all the time [05:48] Random832, that is different. [05:48] you can [05:48] nickrud: how do I do that? === BHSPitMonkey is now known as Tatl [05:48] how's that different? [05:48] nickrud: /usr/share/doc/acpi-support/README writes: "This is a library of various acpi functionality that we're confident will work on most systems. Eventually, we'd like to be able to work out what we can do based on machine type." This is a very general statement. I agree that this is an offical statement. But is this all what is officially proclaimed about the purpose of the sleep.sh file? [05:48] oo man i'm having a hard time with this gprs connection it always dc [05:48] bgut I looked everywhere in the bios [05:48] not all boards will allow inbuilt AND external videocard to be used. [05:48] ...um, but both show up in lspci [05:48] anyway.. jack_sparrow i'm back [05:48] u, guess you¡ll have to test each part on a running box, short is not likely, as a short would stop the fans. [05:48] shawnst, you would open a terminal, and type gksudo gedit /path/to/file [05:48] all I want is for ubuntu to use the pci one [05:49] When I open the Terminal, my computer restarts... How can I stop this ???? [05:49] biotro3: I need to leave... baby is on the way.... [05:49] so what am i suppose to do.. with my ATI radeon 2400 xt mobility [05:49] this is a strange question; nvidia's cg somethingorother that i need to install as a dependency for ogre3d comes as a 'usr' folder, a) is it safe to copy it into the root directory, and b) how would i do this? [05:49] Random832: yes you can, so long as the board lets you pci 0:2:0 or 1:0:0 will be the differentiating factor in xorg.conf [05:49] Fujitsu, nickrud and others thanks for the info anyway [05:49] you'll have to identify it with lspci then add it to xorg.conf [05:49] i tried su === Tatl is now known as BHSPitMonkey [05:49] I just install pidgin how can i bring up the program [05:49] bullgard4, welcome to the fact that developers hate writing documentation, they just read the code [05:49] sudo mv usr / but it gives an error [05:49] ;) [05:49] helllo [05:49] anybody can help? [05:49] Random832: you can. try x.org. or #xorg or #liinux [05:49] is there a way to autoconfigure X and have it detect both cards? [05:49] alot of ppl can help [05:49] dont ask to ask, just ask ^^ [05:49] err ##linux [05:50] I thought ubuntu was supposed to be easy to use - it automatically configured it at first, with the onboard one :P [05:50] Schmick thats leads us to checking the psu (even though brand new)... ill plug in another one and check back =) [05:50] Random832, just check the bios if there is any option station Primary Video or something like that.. [05:50] Schmick: there isn't. [05:50] nickrud: I share your sentiment. [05:50] he said there isn't [05:50] <_Casey_> god i hate getting sound to work [05:50] i keep saying this, why don't people believe me? [05:50] you can use a gui xorg configurator if you want [05:50] can i run a kde app in ubuntu? and if so, why does it matter that i choose a gnome-native one over a kde one or vice versa? [05:50] bullgard4, when I coded, I didn't document either. So it's just an observation, not a judgement :) [05:50] Random832: try not connecting a monitor to it, also [05:50] for example anarok vs. exaile [05:50] I'm following the ubuntu hamachi/vnc directions and it worked on my local box, but it's not working on my 7.10 ssh remote box... when I type the sudo hamachi-init -c /etc/hamachi nothing happens... and when I do a ls in /etc I don't see hamachi... any suggestions? [05:50] I don't _care_ about system bootup messages, this is for my brother who's non-technical (and the onboard video card seems to blink out randomly) [05:50] jetscreamer: tried that [05:50] yes you can Sonja and no it doesn't [05:50] ok, then open the case.. look at the motherboard.. see if there is a manufacturer code.. or part number.. and google for it.. you NEED the manual. [05:51] Sonja, it doesn't matter, but some people don't like to bloat their gnome with KDE libraries, that's all. [05:51] Sonja: You can, but GNOME ones will generally look and integrate better. [05:51] and vice versa. [05:51] hence why there are alternatives for both kde and gnome apps. [05:51] kde generally is tighter [05:51] is there a gnome equivalent of quanta plus? [05:51] I installed pidgin from source how come I do not see it under applications? [05:51] scream [05:51] nvu? [05:51] HardDisk: bloat as in memory, or bloat as in disk usage? [05:51] alternate way of looking at the problem [05:51] krammer: Because you shouldn't be installing from source [05:51] chcampb, bit of both. [05:52] Sonja, unless you are short on memory, it won't matter that you're running a kde app in gnome. Use the app that suits you best [05:52] underdaw1: Nvu is dead. Kompozer has replaced it. [05:52] hey all, my lenovo t61 hangs at boot for about 2 minutes "Configuring Network Interfaces" . I've pasted my /etc/network/interfaces file at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49459/ [05:52] so what next ? [05:52] anything look out of place? [05:52] how do i tell which one is onboard? [05:52] should i use quanta plus to edit html and css? [05:52] HardDisk: is that only when you use that program in particular, or all the time? [05:52] krammer: WHy did you install it from source? [05:52] or is there a better gnome one for ubuntu? [05:52] Sonja, if you like quanta, just use it. [05:52] 00:09.0 VGA compatible controller: Cirrus Logic GD 5434-8 [Alpine] (rev f9) [05:52] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 530/620 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter (rev a2) [05:52] Sonja: it doesnt matter gedit work fine :P [05:52] <_Casey_> someone look at my terminal and tell me whats wrong http://pastebin.com/m1226c296 [05:52] i done this before it was a tar.z2 [05:52] Sonja, and to my knowledge no [05:52] which one of those is integrated? [05:52] Random832: by knowing what your cards actually are? 1:0:0 is AGP, almost certainly [05:53] chcampb, when you use that program. unless you have something that is running in background processes. [05:53] this is built from spare parts [05:53] and the card is in a PCI slot [05:53] krammer: Why did you install from source? [05:53] so i can use quanta plus on ubuntu, and the only problem is the menus will have a different look because its kde? [05:53] <_Casey_> anyone [05:53] is there a way to find out what pci id X is currently using? [05:53] I really miss reading conan comics :) [05:53] ok what can i do to install pdigin? [05:53] Sonja: Basically. [05:53] Sonja, correct. [05:53] krammer: Is it not installed by default? [05:53] thanks [05:53] makes it trickier Random832 :), but take out the pci card and see what dissappears is a sure way [05:53] no gaim is [05:53] so exaile is better than amarok for ubuntu users then [05:54] while it's running? just kidding [05:54] pidgin is the new gaim [05:54] well, they are two different products. [05:54] krammer: Ah, you're using an old version of Ubuntu? [05:54] yes [05:54] personally I like exaile regardless if it was gnome or not. [05:54] hey guys [05:54] i did this [05:54] 7.04 [05:54] * bascule thinks nothing is better than amarok, except maybe irssi [05:54] is mplayer gnome or kde? [05:54] Sonja: It's neither. [05:54] but exaile is amarok for gnome, no? [05:54] Sonja: gmplayer is GNOME. [05:55] Sonja, they are similar. [05:55] * Schmick 's brain cpu% quotta exceded... sleeping system... gnight y'all! [05:55] Okay, if i need to install something that comes as a folder called 'usr' i would just put that in the root directory, correct? is that safe, and what is the command syntax to do something like that? [05:55] different developers. === ajmorris_|AFK is now known as ajmorris_ [05:55] if i upgrade will my settings and programs be changed? [05:55] different concepts. [05:55] krammer: OTher than Gaim upgrading to Pidgin, unlikely. [05:55] <_Casey_> http://pastebin.com/m1226c296 [05:55] chcampb: that depends on what you mean by "safe". [05:55] chcampb: it's not safe at all, but that's what you'd have to do [05:55] chcampb, no, since there's already a directory called usr [05:55] is Deluge a good BT client for ubuntu? [05:55] dropping it in the root directory is certainly most likely what the people making the software _expect_ you to do [05:55] Random832: its the cg tools from nvidia, the files are not inherently dangerous [05:56] Sonja: yes [05:56] i cant join a room with gaim going through the room list [05:56] well, right, but it will screw up package management [05:56] Hi, it's me again, sorry for the delay, I run 'sudo ./install' under matlab r2007b gives me 'command not found' even though the file was in the folder, if I don't use 'sudo' then I don't have permission to the file. I've looked up in the forums but seems the problem is recent and not solved yet [05:56] how can i scan network printers automatically .. i have tried cups but it doesn't find the printer installed on the same network [05:56] what kind of files are they? i.e. what do you see under "usr"? [05:56] Sonja, yes :) but then I'm biased cause I worked on deluge. [05:56] I'm following the ubuntu hamachi/vnc directions and it worked on my local box, but it's not working on my 7.10 ssh remote box... when I type the sudo hamachi-init -c /etc/hamachi nothing happens... and when I do a ls in /etc I don't see hamachi... any suggestions? [05:56] how do i make the screen fonts on ubuntu look less like ASS ? [05:56] Random832, not only that, usr would disappear, and that wouldn't be good [05:56] hehe [05:56] windows had much smoother font display [05:56] Is anyone using xchat? how do I stop xchat from blinking in the taskbar? I can't find the option for this anywhere [05:57] ok well I see no more complicated questions, just simple ones, I'm out peeps. [05:57] nickrud: almost any procedure I know of for copying or moving a directory will automatically merge conflicting directories - only files would be straight-up overwritten [05:57] Sonja, system->prefs->fonts , settings are there. Use a different font, ubuntu uses the same fonts as windows (hint) [05:57] Random832: its just the bin, lib, etc; my understanding is that a batch script would take the files and put them where they belong, but it seems they put it in the respective directories in the same structure as is required (i think) i just want to make sure thats the best way to do it [05:57] and remember, it helps to search the ubuntu forums once in a while. [05:57] thanks [05:57] and check out ubuntuguide.org ubuntugeek.com and ubuntuhq.com [05:57] kikr, right click the icon on the panel and check BLINK. [05:58] chcampb: _what_ files under /usr/bin and /usr/lib? [05:58] later ppl [05:58] How can I make Hardy Heron Alpha 2 boot without messing up the display ?

What could cause that? [05:58] you want a complicated qustion? [05:58] !hardy | PepperPad4 [05:58] chcampb, if you can convince the program to install in /usr/local/usr , that would be better [05:58] PepperPad4: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [05:58] aight, later.

[05:59] dude marijuana is awesome [05:59] and all of the directories match [05:59] Schmick: I don't see "Blink" anywhere. I'm righting clicking on the icon in the top left of xchat and also on the taskbar [05:59] rofl...

[06:03] all through ssh \ [06:04] so to get it to work I have to sudo su -? [06:04] taurusivy: probab;y not, bt the driver will be backported for fixes/features in latest 2.4 anyway, as fa as I know [06:04] underdaw1, sudo /sbin/ possibly?

I've looked up in the forums but seems the problem is recent and not solved yet [06:04] I wonder why it didn't work out like it should have [06:04] lemme try that [06:04] underdaw1, better than sudo su - is sudo -i [06:04] MasterShrek, nickrud: thanks, I'll have to go to the the hosting site tomorrow.

[06:05] anyone running 2.6.20 by chance? ubuntu-server? [06:05] harddisk, I've tried the forum, but none of them works [06:06] nt, try Octave as well, http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/ [06:06] kikr, settings->prefs->alerts [06:06] nt, did you follow the link I provided? [06:06] does anyone know how to copy files from Windows, using a Linux live CD, but preserving the windows permissions? [06:06] sig [06:06] kikr, unless you're using xchat-gnome, in which case i donno [06:06] sigh, wonder why this isn't working [06:06] bascule: ok, any advice if i want keep my 2.4 system [06:06] balleyne: not possible [06:06] then I tar the archive I have to tar it through sudo [06:06] balleyne, all permissions die when you transfer from NTFS to any other system. [06:06] yeah, [06:06] could that be it? [06:06] Can you mount .img files? [06:06] nickrud: xchat-gnome 0.18 [06:07] taurusivy: make bug reports to the driver maintainer for 8139too [06:07] HardDisk: ok... what if I'm copying from NTFS to NTFS, but using a Linux Live CD? Still not possible? [06:07] balleyne, no. [06:07] harddisk, yeah, Let me try it, thank [06:07] Hi [06:07] it's so annoying. It keeps blinking nonstop and I can't find where to stop it [06:07] kikr, I don't run that one, probably not many here. I use the plain xchat , it has many more options. #xchat may know [06:07] HardDisk: ok, thanks [06:07] ok this time I'm leaving. [06:08] :) [06:08] anyone running 2.6.20 by chance? ubuntu-server and notice any instability with networking, like not responding to incoming traffic? [06:08] HardDisk, you've been seduced, you'll be back before you realize [06:08] balleyne: ntfs are biund to a unique uuid per machine, you would be unable to copy them from another system withiut removing them [06:08] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHVvAyb1ttk Im' fliping out!! LoL I felt like i had to share this... [06:08] nickrud: He'll be a regular in no time :P [06:08] nickrud, probably. [06:08] <--- im bored [06:09] he'll be? I am a regular. [06:09] bascule: ah, ok - thanks [06:09] bascule: ok, so the fastest way for me is to update to 2.6 kernel, right? but where do u catch up with those news about backporting to 2.4 ? [06:09] Can you mount .img files? [06:09] taurusivy: in each releases of 2.4 changelog [06:10] bascule: well, thx ;) [06:10] is that for me? [06:10] yea [06:10] why? [06:10] taurusivy: assuming I understood the question, if you are asking me how to hack drivers across kernel releases, I have no idea [06:11] taurusivy: welcome [06:12] bascule: the reason why i wanna use the latest driver of the ethcard is the 2.4 release of the driver is buggy. [06:12] for a lot of new users I tend to let em try out acetoneiso [06:12] I used it for 18months with no issues, to my knowledge, back in the day [06:12] taurusivy: ^ [06:12] it's an excellent all round app for converting/mounting different types of images [06:13] personally I only use iso's for my work, so no worries about standards. [06:13] Jymmm: sorry, down at 2.6.17 [06:13] !deeveedee > bascule [06:13] dthacker: thanks [06:14] basically it uses fuse-utils and poweriso [06:14] for the mounting converting [06:14] anyway it's 8am, i gotta sleep cause family's having a big xmas dinner [06:14] Dear internet, My sound does not work.

[06:16] tdoggette, remove totem-mozilla , and install mozilla-plugin-vlc [06:16] Xerostyle: start with the link HardDisk provided [06:16] nickrud, thanks. === ajmorris_ is now known as ajmorris_|Nexuiz === IJW is now known as umdesch4 [06:20] Ok, So I checked the link, and it's complete jibberish to me (aka, I'm a nub). I think it says I have a card installed, but I still don't understand next to anything for it, and I'm not sure what's up. [06:20] It does let me control my volume controls and the sort [06:20] I just don't know past this, why sound doesn't come from my internal speakers or headphone jack [06:21] any one know any thing about the psx emulator epsxe??? [06:21] apallo: not yet [06:21] yay, the "fixed" version of flash from the wiki is working for me! [06:22] how can i scan network printers automatically .. i have tried cups but it doesn't find the printer installed on the same network, is there any other package that will auto install shared printers on the network? [06:22] apallo: Only fear is it borking when the real fix comes down [06:23] yuh [06:23] well.....i just wont upgrade to the real fix then [06:23] heh [06:23] apallo: Even then we will have a way to fix things [06:23] Missy18-> do you expect those printers to advertise its service? [06:24] Total n00b question alert! Why, every time I reboot or login/out, do I need to go to a terminal and 'sudo ifup eth1' to get my internet connection to work? [06:24] that's why i love this OS [06:24] apallo, you can put it on hold, when it comes down you can remove it before installing the real fix [06:24] we try [06:24] things are fixed relatively quickly [06:24] there's that too nickrud [06:24] hello [06:25] any advice for this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/152206 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=552311&page=2 [06:25] bulmer, yes .. they should appear in the auto scan [06:25] umdesch4, look at /etc/network/interfaces , is there a line auto eth1 ? [06:25] jesus gnome keeps crashing [06:25] why [06:25] bulmer, with SUSE it works fine .. the auto detect and install .. but with ubuntu it does nothing [06:25] Missy18-> umm how would a cups system detect the printer? lest it advertize? do you know the ip address of the printer? [06:25] gnome has crashed 4 times [06:25] the linux alter of Windows Movie Maker ? can any1 appoint me a great easy app for linux to make the same job as movie maker [06:25] I need help setting up GRUB to detect my WinXP installation? [06:25] i dont know why [06:26] Anyone know any good guide? [06:26] what's wrong with your grub [06:26] NeoGeo64: It works for everyone else, so we need to figure out what is different about your system, what you installed, or repos that were changed etc? [06:26] nickrud: should there be? (I'll have to check a little later, I'm doing this from a different machine) [06:26] twiztr, do you see a grub menu when you boot? [06:26] you should of been able to detect it during install [06:26] bulmer, I know the ip but thats not the point .. cups manager should atlest find the printer .. just like yast does on SUSE [06:26] can any1 recommend me a program that alters Windows Movie MakeR??? [06:26] try sudo updat-grub [06:27] abdulla: assuming that you are using ubuntu , go to add/remove and search for "edit video" [06:27] Missy18: apparmor [06:27] can some one plz help me with epsxe psx emulator??? [06:27] umdesch4, could be, depends on if it was set with networkmanager or otherwise, come back when you have the linux machine at hand. [06:27] Missy18-> not quite true, printer do not advertize it services, lpd does just does not do it [06:27] Myrtti, wats that? [06:27] Benalex, forgot about that :p [06:27] ok, thanks! [06:27] thank you btw [06:28] umdesch4, that wasn't meant to sound dismissive, it's just easier if we can see what's there [06:28] Missy18: you're using an hp printer? [06:28] abdulla: welcome [06:28] My card is nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) if that helps anyone. These cards are strange, and that tutorial hasn't helped me too much [06:28] too true... [06:28] I'll be back in a bit, hopefully from there... [06:28] nickrud: Yea, but it only give me access to mint. [06:28] Missy18: or network printing? [06:28] nickrud: Win doesnt even show up on the list [06:28] twiztr, ok, what partition is your windows on?

[06:29] skullhead: join #psx.rar at irc.rizon.net [06:29] Myrtti, yes i am using an HP printer [06:29] Myrtti, yes i am using an HP printer attched to a ubuntu box [06:29] Missy18-> how is the printer attached to the network? [06:29] nickrud: the second drive [06:29] Missy18: then it might just be apparmor. [06:29] twiztr, and the partition of the second drive? [06:29] Benalex: thx [06:30] its the only partition on the drive [06:30] so scsi2 i think [06:30] how do i change the requirement fo rthe user to confirm VNC login through bash? [06:30] Missy18-> are they on same subnet as the ubuntu box? ie printer and ubuntu ? [06:30] skullhead: welome... you may search for more channel at http://searchirc.com [06:30] bulmer, it is installed on a ubuntu box as shared printer .. it is not connected to the ethernet directly [06:30] bulmer, yes same subnet [06:30] for some reason my hamachi install isnt working through ssh [06:30] I've not have the urls, but it's a known problem [06:31] twiztr, no, that's the drive; like sdb1 or sdb2 , sudo fdisk -l should give you an idea [06:31] Anybody know my current problem? [06:31] bulmer, let me check the subnet again .. brb [06:31] twiztr, ah, only partition, missed that [06:31] Anyone know what's wrong when Wine doesnt save your settings? [06:32] OH, thats why... nevermind :( My dad deleted it because he couldn't boot into Windows so I tried to reinstall it [06:32] :( [06:32] Fuck.

[07:08] bazzieb, you really should never need to do that - you will break stuff [07:08] !restricted | ToastGuy (read the web page) [07:08] ToastGuy (read the web page): 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 [07:08] "file is not an audio stream" [07:08] What does that mean?

[07:12] no [07:12] wher i can get program wher she open .mdf files? [07:13] bazzieb you need to unmount the partion first [07:13] neumind, there are many different types of program that generate mdf files which one are you looking for? [07:13] There's a lot of people here so i wouldn't be surprised if i find no response, but has anyone replaced proprietary restricted atheros wireless drivers with madwifi? I want to, but don't know how to extract the restricted ones and wireless has been a nightmare in the past, so i'm hesitant to try [07:13] ok cool [07:13] thks [07:13] Hi [07:13] neumind, http://filext.com/file-extension/mdf for details [07:13] ompaul, i dont know.. just i want open that file [07:13] bazzieb:np [07:13] bulmer : how to know if its enabled?how to setup ?thanks [07:14] meanderingcode: why? [07:14] I'm trying to install the java plugin for firefox and the link I make to the java lib is always broken - how do I get it to work pls? [07:14] Kalamansi-> before we can even get that far, does pc2 have an ip address assigned? from which dhcp server? [07:14] pvl1: which version of Pidgin supports offline messaging? [07:15] ere4si install java from the package mamner [07:15] pvl1: the binary drivers don't work for some things...for example, i couldn't change the mode of the card to set up and access point when there was one cable and three laptops [07:15] ompaul, so. [07:15] neumind, I suggest you find out its source first - try "file whateverfilename.mdf" on the command line and see if it knows anything about it [07:15] pvl1: done that and had no luck... - still no plugin [07:15] hi, i'm currently in a different country to my parents who use windows (i use ubuntu), and am wondering, is there a way for me to remotely tinker with their pc to fix problems and demonstrate stuff? [07:15] zetheroo: they all do. its a plugin that does that [07:16] ompaul, in that file is windows pro.. and i need open that file... i windows i can that file open witch daemons tools [07:16] but this is ubuntu [07:16] meanderingcode: sorry i got nuthin, just thought there could be an easier way to what u wanted to do [07:16] sexcopter-> choice of rdp, freenx, vnc [07:16] neumind, I know nothing of windows so what does windows pro do? [07:16] pvl1: thanks for the thought [07:16] sexcopter of course there is a way to do that VNC is a good one [07:16] anyone else? [07:16] hye everyone. ive got a problem. ubuntu tells me my hard drive is full. i run mythtv on it. but the recordings on it dont even come close to filling up the hard drive. is there a program that will tell me some of the larger files on the drive? [07:17] pvl1: oh ? a plugin?.... which one?.. where do I get it? [07:17] bulmer, badkitty: great, thanks I'll look into that [07:17] ompaul, windows professional [07:17] ere4si: well theres also firefox plugins [07:17] zetheroo: go through tools, plugins [07:17] Hello, does anyone no how to output a binary file as the actual 1's and 0's it is made of in ascii? [07:17] Can anyone help me with RhythmBox? [07:17] any chance any evil XP developers here? [07:17] Toastguy whats up? [07:18] Is there anyone in China? [07:18] pvl1: that always sends me to manual install - and I can only make broken links... [07:18] aaisen-> dont forget ascii is only 7 bits...how are you going to handle the 8th bit? [07:18] ere4si: did you try synaptic? [07:18] pvl1: Well I'm still dealing with the inability to play MP3 files [07:18] What is an good ssh client and sever ? I have it set up on my old computer ,but I forgot what I had on my old system ? [07:18] openssh? [07:19] ToastGuy: u need to isntall a package that deals with the MP3 files bc they are restricted [07:19] pvl1: is it the Offline Message Emulation plugin? [07:19] pvl1: restrictive?? [07:19] pvl1: Where do I find that plugin? [07:19] pvl1: yep - and it installed java1.4 and gave me no plugin - I've enabled java in firefox's preferences [07:19] bulmer, I don't actually want the ascii represenation of the file, I want the one's and zeroes that are in the file in ascii. for example, if I have an image file, I'd like a stream of the thousands of one's and zeroes that compose it, in ascii. [07:19] zetheroo: shoudl be [07:19] bulmer, cont... so the output is a huge ascii file of "1001110101..." [07:20] neumind, google tells me that, that is a platform not an application, you need to tell us what application, what kind of information is in it [07:20] Toastguy: yup, too slow down downloading of MP3's. hold on a sec [07:20] pvl1: what does that mean? [07:20] nickrud, is there any other easier IM server then jabber :) [07:20] aaisen-> again how would you like to display it? if its 8 bits? [07:20] Don't Ubuntu 7.10 come with both a sever and client for ssh ? [07:20] Evince is exceedingly slow for me in "Fit Page Width" mode, but it's absolutely responsive and snappy at any other (fixed) zoom level. Why is this happening? How do I fix this? And, have other people been reporting this? (I'm using Gutsy. I never encountered this problem in Feisty.) [07:20] ere4si: what about the java website? [07:21] pvl1: ok. I will hold. === ktogias_ is now known as ktogias [07:21] calm, check launchpad.net to find out if it is a known bug (maybe it is that doc only) [07:21] pvl1: that's where the manual install takes me [07:21] Toastguy: theres many applications that are referred to as P2P (peer to peer) which offer and download MP3 files. this is illegal if downloading copyrighted material [07:21] tarelerulz: Ubuntu comes with an ssh client, but not the server. The ssh server everyone uses is OpenSSH. You can install the "ssh" package in Synaptic to get it. [07:21] pvl1: got java 1.6 from there [07:22] ere4si: w8 if you got it, y do u need to manually install it? [07:22] pvl1: okay so.. why do I have to get a separate plugin for MP3 files? [07:22] bulmer, I think I don't know enough about how files are encoded to answer your question. All I want is a huge list of the 1's and 0's in a file. Aren't all files, no matter how they are encoded just a long list of 1's and 0's? I want to know what those 1's and 0's are. [07:22] tarelerulz, sudo apt-get install openssh-server [07:22] ToastGuy: Legal issues. [07:23] pvl1: I need to link the java plugin to firefox - and every time I make the link it is broken [07:23] Grey: ok [07:23] Toastguy: aye what greysim said [07:23] aaisen-> they are grouped, depends on the structure designed by the system using it.. [07:23] ere4si: firefox has its own plugins tho [07:23] pvl1, kdenlive is great :) just what i was looking for [07:23] pvl1: Okay so, where do I get the plugin? And how do I install it? [07:24] but still under development [07:24] ToastGuy: Which version of Ubuntu are you using? [07:24] aaisen-> ascii is grouping it into 7 bits.. [07:24] pvl1: but trying to install them says I need to manually install - that takes me to sun - and .... broken link [07:24] Toastguy: ok this should be how its done, go to applications at the top left, go down to add/remove [07:24] Somebody help me! [07:25] btw pvl1 kino can take pictures but the way to do it is abit complicated and needs much of the mouse pressing and indicating the picture files.... [07:25] pvl1: ok [07:25] bulmer, for example, if i have an ascii file with the letter 'a', and want to know what those 7 bits are, is there a program that can output the 7 bits? [07:25] aaisen-> then you got to find out where is the beginning and ending [07:25] pvl1: done. [07:25] search for what? [07:25] ere4si: really? tahts odd, i got it through firefox's own plugins without having to manually install anything. sorry i dunno why that would happen [07:25] TOastguy: ok clikc preferneces [07:25] and btw kino is great pvl1 however it needs to be learned before i can use it massively but i cant :( my project is to be done by tomorrow so i must do something quick ;) [07:25] aaisen-> there probably is, just dont know where they are, i have not used them [07:25] pvl1: thnx for you efforts :) [07:26] bulmer, ok, thanks anyway. :) [07:26] pvl1: I'm using ubuntu 6.x I don't see that [07:26] Schmick: are you alive? [07:27] !java [07:27] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre [07:27] !mp3 | ToastGuy [07:27] ToastGuy: 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 [07:27] abdulla: look at the applications ubuntu media center has to offer. i forgot its exact name, btu that has the best [07:27] Fujitsu: thanks [07:27] btu ??? pvl1 ? [07:27] ToastGuy: Ubuntu 7.10 will automatically ask you if you want to install the MP3 codec, but 6.06 and 6.10 won't. [07:28] abdulla: i meant but [07:28] media center ?? a website? or .. pvl1 [07:28] Fujitsu: So where do I find that option? [07:28] pvl1: I don't see preferences [07:28] ToastGuy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/MP3, specifically. [07:28] is apt-get install rsync mailx a threating command ? [07:28] can apt-get install rsync mailx cause an harm to the server? [07:28] Soskel: It will install rsync and mailx. Not particularly threatening. [07:29] Fujitsu: any reason why it requires sudo ? [07:29] Soskel: You can't install things without sudo. [07:29] Fujitsu: that so does not help [07:29] soskel: it has to access restricted folders, to put stuff into [07:29] ToastGuy: How do you know? [07:29] pvl1: do I need ssh to mirror ubuntu? [07:30] Fujitsu: Cuz I've already looked at that page before coming here [07:30] ToastGuy: Rhythmbox or Totem still won't play MP3s? [07:30] Fujitsu: it doesnt' say anything about RhythmBox [07:30] Fujitsu: I haven't tried Totem [07:30] abdulla: its called ubuntu studio [07:30] Soskel: no? [07:31] ToastGuy: Which instructions did you follow? Did you install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly? [07:31] pvl1: are you familiar with mirroring? [07:31] Fujitsu he's using 6.x [07:31] pvl1: I am aware. [07:31] Fujitsu: No I didn't try that [07:31] Soskel: i might be. tho im not really sure if its what im thinking of [07:31] Fujitsu: oh sorry [07:31] ToastGuy: What *did* you try from that page, then? [07:31] Fujitsu: Nada [07:32] why does the world hate xmms? [07:32] magic_ninja: Because it's obsolete, unmaintained, gtk1.2, and generally bad? [07:32] And we developers want to be rid of it as soon as possible? [07:33] Fujitsu & pvl1: So how do I unstall gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly? [07:33] Fujitsu: i tend to like it, its very resource unintensive, what makes it so bad, its just unmaintained? [07:33] I mean INSTALL [07:33] U and I are so close [07:33] pvl1: learnt a lesson - copied and pasted the commands to install java - sun calls the file .s0 when it is .so - it's installed now ! [07:33] ToastGuy: Follow the instructions on that page. [07:33] Ok [07:33] Oh, blergh, it doesn't explicitly say it any more. [07:34] Open up Synaptic, and install it from there. [07:34] ere4si: lol, well then congrats. [07:34] Hello! When i mounted AptOnCd *.iso file, synaptic can't add it. How can i add mounted .iso file to repositaries? [07:34] what is ubuntu studio pvl1 ?? [07:34] btw pvl1 im lost in kdenlive lol :( its not hard but maybe coz im used to movie maker :s [07:35] abdulla: ubuntu studio is a version of ubuntu, if you will, that revolves around media. movies, music, it tries to make it as easy as possible [07:35] where does wget save downloads [07:35] slliness: The current directory. [07:35] Fujitsu: Is "Dapper Drake" a synonym for Ubuntu 6.x? [07:35] Fujitsu: so really people just want everyone to move onto banshee, rythmbox, amarok, etc? [07:35] ToastGuy: Ubuntu 6.06, yes. [07:35] ah thanks Fujitsu [07:35] pvl1, i must reinstall ubuntu ? or is this an app? [07:36] magic_ninja: Yes, or one of the XMMS forks like Audacious. [07:36] abdulla: also, almost all open source applications have documentation [07:36] Fujitsu & pvl1: Thanks guys... I will try installing in just a little bit [07:36] abdulla : well with something do so soon i wouldnt recommend installing it bc it is more of an operating system. [07:36] bulmer: its obtain...i set it as obtain... === ToastGuy is now known as ToastGuy_Away [07:36] Fujitsu, can you do multiple wget downloads w/o multiple terminals? [07:36] ToastGuy: glad we can help [07:37] abdulla: you should check for documentation of this kdenlive [07:37] hope winE can install movie maker :/ [07:37] Kalamansi-> obtain? obtain from which server? [07:37] bulmer: from pc1...obtain pc2 [07:37] abdulla: i'd be surprised [07:38] slliness: Not simultaneously, but you can specify multiple URLs and it will download them sequentially. [07:38] yep [07:38] Kalamansi-> which of the two is acting as dhcp server(the one dolling out the ip address) ? [07:39] bulmer : pc1 server ubuntu - dhcp enabled [07:39] abdulla: to be honest, the one tihng ive found XP to have over linx, is the backspace for internet, maybe some apps, and uhm, visual studio [07:39] * Fujitsu prefers a terminal to VS any day. [07:39] pvl1: Backspace for Internet? [07:40] the ease to make just for a simple use and troll apps are in XP [07:40] abdulla: all of which i easily live without, if not better. but the reason that its hard to find its counterpart is because microsoft makes it as XP as possible [07:40] Fujitsu: if hit backspace it goes back a page [07:40] pvl1: That's easily enabled in Firefox. [07:40] but with ubuntu it has a flexibility to make the use a cruise with an applause while you go [07:40] Kalamansi-> pc1 acquires its ip address from your ISP, and then pc2 acquires its ip address from where? [07:40] Fujitsu: i just might have to throw this XP laptop. please enlighten me [07:40] Fujitsu, so wget http: one http: two and so on or is there alternate syntax? [07:41] Fujitsu: i asked yseterday here and someone said that its only for XP [07:41] thanks all :) [07:41] pvl1: In about:config, find browser.backspace_action, and set it to 0 [07:41] got class.. [07:41] abdulal: np [07:41] bulmer: i just obtain pc2..(xphome).. i tried to use 192.168.1.2 as the ip of pc2 and gateway is 192.168.1.1 [07:41] bulmer still not working. pc2 have no internet connection [07:41] slliness: wget http://blah.com/ http://blah.com/something/ http://... [07:42] Fujitsu, thanks [07:42] Kalamansi-> you are not answering my question, pc2 is an xp machine right? it is getting a dynamic ip address from which dhcp server? [07:43] Fujitsu: thank sooooooooooooo much [07:43] your welcome [07:43] pvl1: No problem. Googling should have revealed it fairly quickly too, IIRC. [07:44] schmick ? [07:44] has anyone gotten gnump3d to work in gutsy? [07:45] aw... [07:45] bulmer: from 192.168.1.1 [07:45] Fujitsu: ty brother, i did some reading i understand why now [07:45] magic_ninja: No problem. [07:46] Kalamansi-> okay, 192.168.1.1 is your pc1 ? and pc1 ip address towards the isp is? [07:46] Fujitsu: think i'm going to install audacious [07:46] pvl1: It should work, but please don't attempt to use the password protection. [07:46] ah oh.. if I accidently zoom in to the desktop how do I excape out of it? [07:46] badkitty: Hold the Windows key, then scroll. [07:47] Fujitsu: Haha got it thanks [07:47] Alt+F4 twice [07:47] then press U [07:47] or R [07:48] u... [07:48] F [07:48] Fu [07:48] Kalamansi-> anyhow, minimum can your pc2 ping pc1? [07:49] hi. I get an error when I try to update from 7.04 to 7.10 [07:49] what platform [07:49] jinxed-: What error would that be? Have you used Automatix? [07:49] Or any other third-party repositories? [07:49] Fujitsu, no I did not break rule number 1: I stayed away from automatix [07:50] * Fujitsu applauds jinxed-. [07:50] I can pastebin if you would like [07:50] That would be good. [07:50] bulmer : nope =/ [07:51] Fujitsu, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49462/ [07:51] Kalamansi-> if thats not successful, you will not get beyond pc1..make that work first thing..is your switch working okay?

[07:53] is there anything I can do? Fujitsu [07:54] jinxed-: Remove the entries, as I said before. [07:54] how do i get libdvdcss ?

[07:59] bulmer : i never set an ip [07:59] bye everyone [07:59] MasterShrek: No I didn't, still learning here thanks [08:00] ok, well badkitty youll run it from a terminal. put ./ before the filename.bin [08:00] Kalamansi-> which means what? you are using dhcp client on your pc2...check its route table [08:01] ok bulmer [08:01] bulmer i reboot [08:01] !audacious [08:01] audacious is included in !Feisty.

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [08:07] MasterShrek: It's a penetration testing system will hundreds of networking utils [08:07] do xcompmgr and compiz fusion conflict? [08:08] or can I have both installed... [08:08] ic badkitty, ill have to take a look at it [08:08] isaacj87: You can have both installed, but they probably won't both run at the same time. [08:08] isaac, you can have them both installed but having compiz active will de-activate xcompmgr [08:08] MasterShrek: It runs off of slackware I believe, it looks pretty cool, I downloaded and burned a disk of it today to test out in vmware on my lappy over the holiday [08:09] cool badkitty, thats actually waht i run, slackware [08:09] MasterShrek: Cool, I wish I was sufficient in the cli to use it, but Im not so I use ubuntu [08:09] Fujitsu: I see, well the thing is I installed screenlets and it required xcompmgr to be installed...the weird thing is...I already have a composite effects installed (aka CF) [08:09] Fujitsu: I guess it's because I compiled CF... [08:09] badkitty, it just takes time, lots and lots of time :) [08:10] is xubuntu-restricted-extras the same as ubuntu-restricted-extras? [08:10] isaacj87: Why did you compile CF? [08:10] anyone know how to install the audacious-itouch plugin [08:10] which one should i get if i use xubuntu, but want libdvdcss [08:10] Fujitsu: to have the latest stable release on Feisty [08:10] isaacj87: Ah. [08:10] Fujitsu: yup! Trevino doesn't update his Feisty repo anymore... [08:10] keram: Install xubuntu-restricted-extras. Neither of them have libdvdcss2. [08:10] MasterShrek: Have you toyed with the apps that let you build your own distros and live cd's? [08:10] isaacj87: Good; Treviño is... not good. [08:11] keram, i would assume so, they are just meta-packages afaik [08:11] ls [08:11] badkitty, not at all [08:11] Fujitsu: so when I run screenlets...is it making use of CF or xcompmgr? from what I can tell it's relying on CF... [08:11] isaacj87: CF. [08:11] As long as CF is running, it will use CF. [08:11] Fujitsu, so how do i get libdvdcss2? [08:12] Fujitsu: ah. I see...how would one start xcompmgr? via terminal? [08:12] keram: sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 [08:12] MasterShrek: oh k, just seems like a cool way to back up your system, and have the packages you always used ready to go, and perhaps give to your friend [08:12] keram: Install libdvdread3, then run /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh\ [08:12] isaacj87: Why would one want to? It's vastly inferior to CF. [08:13] Fujitsu: lol. I guess I'm just curious [08:13] Fujitsu: in any case, thanks for the info! [08:13] badkitty, yes, ive heard of people using them, i tend not to really have a use, my main system is pretty much a dummy system, with my server holding most of my files [08:13] i think synaptic can export its package lists, and stuff, but ive never done it === gouki_ is now known as gouki [08:14] ah okay [08:14] thanks [08:14] flash is making firefox freeze, i have most recent version. any ideas? [08:14] keram: It can't be easier due to DMCA issues, unfortunately. [08:14] oddworld: when watching videos on youtube? [08:14] yes [08:14] :/ [08:14] Hello [08:14] are Belkin wireless cards work under Linux? (Sorry for my English) [08:14] oddworld: does your sound distort? [08:14] nope [08:14] oddworld: The latest Flash is a rather odd beast. Adobe changed nasty things, and we're working on it. [08:15] SmartUnix: Some will. [08:15] do you reccomend a different flash version then? [08:15] oddworld: Unfortunately, I haven't found a concrete solution...you could try this... [08:15] oddworld: No others are readily available. [08:15] Fujitsu, So should i buy it or buy another type? [08:15] Fujitsu, do i need sudo to run install-css.sh? [08:15] keram: Yes, sorry. === xipietotec_ is now known as xipietotec [08:15] oddworld: http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2006/10/ubuntu-firefox-flash-crash-this-fix.html [08:15] Fujitsu, okay thanks [08:16] Fujitsu, what does the \ do? [08:16] keram: That was a typo :P [08:16] ill look at it [08:16] oh [08:16] badkitty, im getting backtrack now, gonna have a looksee at it [08:16] thanks [08:16] thought some special extra command lol [08:16] oddworld: Don't quote me here, but I'm pretty sure that Gnash doesn't play youtube videos [08:16] isaacj87: It does. [08:16] Fujitsu: oh really? [08:16] isaacj87: Mhm. [08:17] Fujitsu: Is there a simple way to install Gnash on Feisty? [08:17] Fujitsu: through the repos right? [08:17] SmartUnix: I'm not quite sure - I use embedded Intel cards normally. Google around for your model number and ubuntu, and see what you can find. [08:17] isaacj87: Not in Feisty. [08:17] HardDisk: My problem solved, it was a permission problem of the install file. Thanks for the help [08:17] oddworld: you could take a look at gnash, if that "fix" doesn't work [08:17] gnash is pretty flakey, not really ready for mainstream yet imho [08:17] I don't think it's in Feisty at all. [08:17] odd nothing google can show me on history-GNOME_Network_netinfo_host <-- a gnome settings [08:17] Fujitsu, Thanks :) [08:18] oddworld, maybe try installing flash manually? follow the instructions at adobe.com [08:18] MasterShrek: cool [08:18] well [08:18] i did that [08:18] oddworld: no luck? [08:18] MasterShrek: That won't help. [08:19] how do i tell my gtk version [08:19] the day i installed gutsy, the flash site was down? [08:19] Fujitsu: does anyone really know why firefox crashes due to flash? [08:19] oh, well i was under the impression the package was broken, i figured there would be somethign different with it than the actual flash from adobe [08:19] MasterShrek: Didn't they have a workaround setup earlier for the whole flash thing [08:19] how could i uninstall flash, and reinstall [08:19] badkitty, i have no idea [08:19] oddworld, sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree [08:20] isaacj87: Flash is proprietary, so no. [08:20] oddworld: As far as I know flash is still broken, so dont reinstall it from the repos [08:20] oddworld, assuming you installed it from apt [08:20] i used a tar [08:20] what is the gstramer plugin of rhythmbox [08:20] apt was not working at the time, but it was a tar from the adobe site [08:20] beat_: what do you mean [08:20] beat_: What do you mean? Rhythmbox will use any GStreamer 0.10 plugins. [08:21] command to clear dns in cli? [08:21] i cant play song in gstreamer [08:21] !mp3 | beat_ [08:21] beat_: 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 [08:21] musikgoat: What do you mean `clear dns'? [08:21] ubotu! [08:21] it says problem is gstreamer bla bla but i play music in totem and xmms [08:21] Fujitsu: clear cache [08:21] beat: rhythmbox will play any file for which you have the gstreamer plugin installed, e.g. mad to play mp3 [08:21] * MasterShrek is lagging lol [08:21] oddworld: if you installed locally, I guess you could just remove the .so file found in /home/yournamehere/.mozilla/plugins [08:22] what code do I enter for me to know an app's version? [08:22] beat_: If you could tell us what the `bla bla' is we might be able to help you. [08:22] wers: apt-cache policy package [08:22] ill remove the so, and see what happens [08:22] Replace package with the name of a package. [08:22] thanks so much, Fujitsu [08:23] oddworld: move the file to the desktop and then do a "about:plugins" in firefox...you'll see that firefox no longer thinks flash is installed. [08:24] MasterShrek: What other distro most similarly resembles slackware? [08:25] MasterShrek: As far as the setup and file structure ... red hat, suse, mandriva? Im setting up a vmware virtual server [08:25] badkitty, well, none really, it kinda resembles bsd i guess [08:25] flash is gone [08:25] whats the best way / the most stable version to put back on? [08:25] oddworld: They've killed off the old ones from their site. [08:26] i dont mind using an onlder version if it works well. currently everything is slow and laggy on my 2 gigs ram 2 ghz cpu compy [08:26] which makes no sence. i have the horsepower, just crappy flash drivers [08:26] badkitty, id go with red hat i spose, not that its really going to make a huge difference in vmware afaik [08:27] oddworld: everything is slow? [08:27] no, just flash [08:27] oddworld: ah. I see [08:27] MasterShrek: I just chose other... It's gonna boot up either way anyway i guess.. since its a live cd and all [08:27] MasterShrek: BRB Im gonna jump on the ol lappy [08:27] badkitty, yea i wouldnt worry about it much [08:27] oddworld: you could try gnash now...the open-source alternative [08:27] how do you call the extended character set? [08:28] ive heard sketchy things about gnash [08:28] thats its really hit or miss [08:28] n2diy_: Unicode, or extended ASCII? [08:29] Fujitsu: umm, I'm not sure, the degree symbol for temperature is what I'm looking for. [08:29] so gnash or flash? [08:30] oddworld: i'm about to compile gnash and see how it performs [08:30] my kde apps are using the sans serif font while my gnome apps use sans. in the kde control center, there is no sans font. just sans serif. how do I make my kde apps use the same fonts as my gnome apps? [08:30] oddworld: in all honesty, i've never tried it [08:30] isaacj87, It's available in the repos, though not the latest version [08:30] Fujitsu: I've found the menu>accesories>character map, but I don't know how to use the hex codes. [08:30] n2diy_, What do you need to use them for? [08:30] well ill give flash another shot, and ill install it by going to a flash site and allowing firefox to do it === n2diy_ is now known as n2diy [08:30] Jordan_U: yup, I know...but I'm running Feisty so the version is even older... [08:31] Jordan_U: fun [08:31] n2diy, OK... What type of fun don't you know how to have with them? [08:31] :) [08:31] oddworld: i'll let you know how gnash turns out... [08:32] anyone used dvd::rip before? === Lapinux_ is now known as Lapinux [08:32] keram: yeah, it works pretty well [08:32] i am trying to configure the transcode options but for some reason no window is coming up [08:32] phrac, you know how to fix that? [08:32] Jordan_U: I'd like to ask my friends on #hamradio what that radar blip at zero degrees is? [08:32] its using the xvid codec [08:32] MasterShrek: Ok Im back [08:33] n2diy, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey [08:33] gee chatzilla is fugly [08:33] phrac, i want to turn off the psu core mode so that i can transcode on a cluster [08:33] Jordan_U: looking, thanks. [08:33] hey,whats that adept-looking software for ubuntu?? [08:33] keram: so just turn it off where it says "Use PSU Core" [08:33] badkitty, Use a purpose build client like xchat or irssi [08:34] phrac, ahh i see it now [08:34] YAYa, Synaptic? Add/Remove ? [08:34] i'm dumb :/ [08:34] is there a tutorial available with instructions on how to compile gnash? I just need the list of dependencies [08:34] thanks for the help though [08:34] np [08:34] ok so flash is not installed on firefox. so i go to youtube, it tells me i need flash. so i "install" flash in firefox. reboot firefox, go to youtube and it tells me again that i do not have flash. what gives??? [08:34] isaacj87, sudo apt-get build-deb gnash [08:35] oddworld: The Flash package is broken at the moment, because Adobe are useless. [08:35] !brokenflash [08:35] 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. [08:35] Jordan_U: you mean build-dep right? [08:35] isaacj87, Yes, typo :) [08:35] Jordan_U: thanks! i'll try that [08:36] Jordan_U: oooooh. didn't work :( [08:36] isaacj87, The package name might be different, "apt-cache search gnash" [08:36] * MasterShrek is going to bed, going on 3am here...nite every1 [08:36] hey,whats that adept-looking software for ubuntu called? [08:37] YAYa: Synaptic. [08:37] ah [08:37] where do i get it?? [08:37] isaacj87, In what way didn't it work? [08:37] blast!!!! [08:37] YAYa, Are you using another distro? [08:37] u use ubuntu feisty fawn [08:37] YAYa: you should already have it. [08:37] Jordan_U: error saying that build-deps for gnash could not be satisfied [08:38] i use* [08:38] damn you adobe.... damn you!!!!! [08:38] Jordan_U: E: Build-dependencies for gnash could not be satisfied. [08:38] YAYa: menu > system > admin > synaptic [08:38] :o im confused [08:38] ahh [08:39] ound it [08:39] ty [08:39] YAYa: GL [08:41] isaacj87, You should file a bug report against that package [08:41] Jordan_U, isaacj87: Please don't file a bug. It's fine in Gutsy and above, and we're not going to fix such a thing in Feisty. [08:42] Fujitsu, It's not working for me in Gutsy either [08:42] Fujitsu: I understand. [08:42] Fujitsu: what about LTS for Dapper? [08:42] Jordan_U: Hmm... Well, it has built fine at the start of Hardy. And unmetdeps aren't going to qualify for a SRU. [08:42] any chance I can find a gnash-0.8.1 deb floating around anywhere? [08:42] n2diy: I don't believe Gnash is in Dapper. [08:42] n2diy, Does dapper even have a gnash package? [08:43] And even so, that's still not going to qualify for an SRU. [08:43] Fujitsu: Jordan_U, nope, sorry, should have read up thread. [08:44] so i got the gutsy flash.deb, for most current flash. double clicked on it. it tells me: and older version is availible in a software channel" whats that mean??? [08:45] oddworld: It means that an older version is available normally through apt. Ignore it. [08:45] gotcha, thanks [08:46] is it possible to run across a version 8 of flash on the interwebs and install it into my pc? thus fixing all my problems (hopefully) ? [08:46] oddworld: There is no Linux version of Adobe or Macromedia Flash 8. [08:47] im quite new to ubuntu. had it for about a month. xp has been dead sence / removed. so i am not sure about linux's past, but has flash always sucked? [08:48] oddworld: for me yes...it's the only thing that's caused me problems with linux [08:48] oddworld: everything else has been great [08:48] oddworld: Adobe hasn't done a very good job with it, and it's proprietary so we can't fix it :( [08:48] isaacj87: That's good to hear. [08:48] gotcha [08:49] the only problem i had was testing linux about a year and a half ago, trying to get my ati 9800 pro to display something other than 640x480 lol [08:50] oddworld: Again, proprietary drivers are required :( [08:50] is bulletproof X going to be in Hardy? [08:50] isaacj87: It will be. It was in Gutsy. [08:50] Fujitsu: it was?? [08:50] lol [08:50] isaacj87: Is, yes. [08:50] right so now youtube has no sound [08:51] any ideas [08:51] is there a way to have the workspace toolbar applet work with dual screens? [08:52] Jordan_U: That wasn't what I was looking for, but I figured it out. Right Ctrl + Shift+ 00B0 will give you a ° [08:52] where are the ladies at? [08:52] n2diy: You should look into configuring a Compose key. [08:53] hello [08:53] Fujitsu: I suppose, does that work in Dapper? [08:53] !hi | korosora [08:53] i am using xchat. [08:53] korosora: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [08:53] hello korosora so am i [08:53] where are the nicks!? [08:54] >.< [08:54] n2diy, It will work in any distro made in the last decade ( or two ) :) [08:54] korosora: Drag the column splitter on the right hand side of the window, I think. [08:55] Jordan_U: 10-4, thanks. [08:55] n2diy, np [08:56] grr. no autocomplete nicks. [08:56] fuji: thanks [08:56] korosora: There will be an option for autocompleting them somewhere. [08:56] * Fujitsu hugs irssi. [08:56] oh i see. [08:57] it displays the possible ones [08:57] hi whats java called in synoptic? [08:57] Yes. [08:57] rather than cycling through [08:57] benjamin: sun-java6-jre [08:57] @.@ [08:57] ty [08:57] still no sounds cant figure out whats wrong [08:58] oddworld what kind of sound card do you have? [08:59] i have intel 945 chipset [08:59] sound works in everything [08:59] not flash [09:00] anyone play with gran paradiso ff3? is there a different key combo to close tabs? [09:00] musikgoat: Does Ctrl+W not work? [09:00] nope [09:00] q: can i install vmware-server without installing build-essentials? it needs that to build the kernel modules, but i just grabbed the kernel modules from the repository. modules load fine, but vmware-config.pl doesn't want to see them. any suggestions? I don't want compilers etc on my box [09:01] Isn't there an nvidia configuration utility or something? [09:01] freakynl: I believe the kernel modules in the repository are for guests, not hosts. [09:01] I dont remember the command [09:01] additionally, i cannot go to the file menu and click close tab Fujitsu [09:01] Kavok1: The command is nvidia-settings. [09:01] thanks [09:01] freakynl: What's wrong with having compilers? [09:01] sudo make me a sandwich [09:01] I dont recall needing to compile anything for vmware-server [09:01] If you've got VMs, you can't be particularly space-conscious. [09:01] Fujitsu: hmm thx. it's a firewall. build tools and scripting tools etc are bad on firewalls ;) [09:01] :OO [09:02] freakynl: Better remove those darn scriptable shells, then. [09:02] Fujitsu: :) as little as possible should do it :) [09:02] i cant type : @ [09:02] (copyied) [09:02] benjamin: u just did [09:02] i copied it [09:03] benjamin: What happens when you try to? [09:03] benjamin: not a qwerty keyboard? [09:03] i get no symbol [09:03] hi, anyone any idea what I can do to speed up the window manager startup? It used to be fast, then I installed compiz; didn't like it, went back to metacity and now it takes minutes between logging in and getting the X desktop [09:03] benjamin: UK or US keyboard? [09:03] cant use Ctrl+Alt+2= [09:03] uhm [09:03] eFfeM: Which version of Ubuntu are you using? [09:04] i have öäå [09:04] 7.10 [09:04] eFfeM, How did you install compiz and how did you go back to metacity? [09:04] eFfeM: Hmm... What Jordan_U asked. [09:04] benjamin, left altgr and number 2 [09:04] ty [09:04] right** [09:05] Jordan_U, I installed compiz with synaptic, also uninstalled it that way, then I lost the window manager fully and did metacity --replace [09:05] swedish keyboard :P [09:05] i think Oo [09:05] :P [09:05] i've also been looking into the session manager, removed the file locally, but that did not improve things [09:06] Hi @ll [09:06] eFfeM: Nothing in System->Preferences->Session? [09:06] Hi cinatic. [09:06] merry xmas cinatic [09:06] =) [09:07] yea thx you all too merry xmas [09:07] Fujitsu, yes, at startup there is bluetooth, metacity, network manager, power manager, restricted drivers manager,update notifier, visual and volume manager [09:08] hi I need some help with bash scripting: I want to test if a parameter was given to my bash script. but if [$1=""];then echo "no parameter" doesn't work... So how can I do it? :) [09:08] not sure how I got all these, actually it seems a little bit like it is waiting for a network action to complete and gets a timeout [09:08] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> CAN ANYBODY GIVE ME A COMMAND TO DELETE A WORD IN MULTIPLE FILES?

I'm a programmer myself but I've never done something like this before (kernel module compiling). Could anybody please guide me around it? [09:15] benjamin, Have you tried System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager [09:15] ? [09:15] inope [09:16] oh [09:16] the driver wasnt in use [09:16] ty [09:16] gonna restart and see results [09:16] !module [09:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about module - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:17] !kernel [09:17] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages [09:17] :/ [09:18] DARKGuy, No experience coding kernel modules myself either, but what are you trying to do? [09:18] hi all... i am having trouble with python-opengl. all my other OpenGL games run at full speed but python-opengl games act like they are software-rendered and are unplayable. this is on 7.10. anyone know of a quick fix? === no0tic_ is now known as no0tic [09:19] if there's a makefile in that kernel module folder, you should be able to just do "make" and then "sudo modprobe module_name" [09:20] it's been too long... i used to have to type modprobe all the time back in Suse Linux 10.1 [09:20] Jordan_U: you see, I have a common X-Box controller (Linux sees it as a chinese-made XBOX controller) which I modded with an USB extension so it could work as an USB gamepad. 100% working in Windows with rumble and all, but I'm having problems with the left & right trigger with it under Linux... they aren't recognized as the axes they're suppossed to be, so qjoypad doesn't get them correctly, neither joy2key, only jstest but that doesn't help at all [09:20] the_darkside_986: could it be that python is interpreted? [09:20] Jordan_U, removed metacity from default.session, but still it takes 2.5 minutes or so. top in a console window says it is doing nothing (no substantial cpu usage) ps aux says that vino-session is started and the gnome screensaver and only long long after that it starts metacity [09:21] does anyone know how to load the spca5xx module sudo modprobe spca5xx says "Module spca5xx not found." [09:21] meanwhile I get the X-windows X for a minute or so and the arror for another minute or so [09:21] @redd0t, well, that library has been heavily optimized and uses CTypes... but the slowdown should only be 6 times slower than C. but i'm getting 3 FPS where there should be over 100. [09:21] Jordan_U: there is something here that looks like a fix: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xbox_360_controller_on_Linux in the "Problems with Left Trigger being 3rd axis" section that I wanna try out :P [09:21] ! insmod [09:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about insmod - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:22] ! modprobe [09:22] cherva_, i don't think that module is in the distro [09:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about modprobe - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:22] the_darkside_986: oh. well im relatively new to python. and i haven't used the opengl libraries. i was just taking a stab in the dark [09:22] Has anyone ever been able to play Frets on Fire at more than 5 fps? does python really suck that bad or is there a linking problem somewhere? Sauerbraten runs just fine for me. [09:23] cherva_, in my 7.10 /lib/modules there is no such module [09:24] eFfeM: hmm strange look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=334918 [09:24] yeah i'm new to python too. it's great for writing GTK apps. But i am beginning to see it as the "Visual Basic" of the Ubuntu world, that is, it has no use for even trying to do openGL stuff... unless there is a fix for this problem and i've installed something wrong. [09:24] eFfeM: ok I'll just apt it then [09:24] there is only the source in apt [09:25] the_darkside_986: I fail to see how a bug in the OpenGL bindings renders it as useless and pathetic as Visual Basic. [09:25] the_darkside_986: it kinda starts to slowdown for me sometimes, guess it's a game bug, but it's usually solved by just restarting it [09:27] well... for me python-opengl acts like it is using MesaGL software rendering instead of the nvidia-opengl libs that came with my gfx card. i tried looking for *.so files in the source tarball so i can examine their linkage but i only found python modules (*.py) [09:27] does anyone know where the installed folder is of codeweaver's crossoffice [09:27] the folder where it installs all window app, cannot find it [09:29] the_darkside_986: ah, I have no idea since I don't use python for my OpenGL programming, sorry :( [09:29] kurt: Ask in the CrossOffice channel. [09:29] night ubuntu people [09:29] Night, ToastGuy_Away. [09:30] night ToastGuy_Away [09:30] merry xamas ubuntu! [09:31] i don't understand... this must be a problem specific to my setup, otherwise, no one would even bother writing python-opengl games... [09:32] should I have a WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable ? [09:32] maybe i should invest in a system with a powerful multi-core CPU so that it could do software rendering and i wouldn't notice the difference. at this rate i will just have to. [09:32] eFfeM: Not normally. [09:33] Fujitsu, still struggling with this loooong login problem [09:33] i'm having trouble compiling spca5xx module here is the output of make http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2974/ pls help [09:33] can i put an aspi layer on my system [09:34] cherva_: You probably in fact want the gspca module, which is spca5xx's replacement. It's included by default in Ubuntu. [09:36] Fujitsu: hmmm maybe I don't know because its not for me [09:36] cherva_: It's a rewrite by the same author, for the same chips. [09:37] Fujitsu: hmm thanks [09:42] hey does anybody know of a nice yakuake like application for gnome that isnt tilda [09:43] anyone know if there is a similar program for ubuntu like Total Commander for windows ? [09:43] menllyos: What does Total Commander do? [09:43] its a file manager program [09:44] lemme find you a screenshot ;p [09:44] http://www.ghisler.com/picture.htm [09:45] hi, my problem is getting a widescreen monitor to work on a thinkpad (vga) .. widescreen option from admin-> screens and graphics (gutsy) produces errors on widescreen-tft, and without [ ] widescreen a screen is displayed, but it flickers .. any hints? [09:45] What do total commander do different then say the file managers the come with ubuntu? or is it just one your famillar with so that is why you want it menllyos [09:45] like i love using yakuake, in kde, but i cant find a suitable application in gnome that does the same thing [09:45] menllyos: midnight commander? [09:45] menllyos, try krusader [09:45] hi [09:46] i am used to TC, too .. and chose krusader for my ubuntu [09:46] i just installed ubuntu yesterday hehe so im not too familiar with all stuff that comes with it... [09:46] ok :) [09:46] what should i be using instead of ntp-simple? ntp or openntpd ? [09:46] Hello Everybody :) [09:46] i ll try those suggestions [09:47] So Menllyos why did you install Ubuntu on your system? just asking [09:47] pteague: ntpd [09:47] Er, ntp [09:47] so .. somebody knows to solve my widescreen-on-thinkpad-problem? [09:47] hello, how can I assign a new keyboard shortcut to an action that is not predefined by gnome? [09:48] LordOfThePigs, Pref -> Keyboard Shortcuts? [09:48] cause i been wanting to try/learn a bit of linux for a long time and cause its free ;) [09:48] I would like a shortcut for rotating my screen 90 degrees using xrandr [09:48] sem: afaik, pref-> keyboard shotcuts can,t do it [09:49] and im pretty happy about it so far, except that i cant use my xfi soundcard yet [09:49] ok , it just seemed obvious ;) [09:49] hi there [09:49] menllyos: Yeah, thanks Creative. THough they do have drivers coming, eventually. [09:49] sem: looked there first though... === Ome[AWAY] is now known as Ome [09:49] hi sorry for disturb u guy [09:50] just wanna ask if any you guys experienced cross-compiling for ARM before? [09:50] Is there a way to associate a shell script to a keyboard event code2? [09:50] Menllyos, I think you should give Konquror a try . It is pretty great tabbing on file managing , files size view , file filter so you can just show the file you want to show. Great if you know what directory to look in ,but don't fell like looking thought a bunch of files . Not to mean it has ftp and smb and web browser too [09:50] zorro: I've used qemu to emulate an ARM system to compile things, but not cross-compiled. [09:50] LordOfThePigs: I don't know, but the folks in #bash might? [09:51] Fujitsu: oh : ( [09:52] I tried to compile one using Toolchain but got this error: /lib/libc.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation [09:52] i made a search online but desperately found no solution [09:53] zorro, do you have the lib-dev libraries installed? [09:54] does anybody has idea on how do I compile a kernel module that's already in Ubuntu? I just need to edit a few lines of xpad.c and compile it again [09:55] n2diy: that is glib-devel rite? [09:55] hey [09:55] my ubuntu got corrupt [09:55] DARKGuy, I think you need module-assistant [09:55] benjamin: In what matter? [09:55] zorro, no, something like libc-dev? [09:56] Jordan_U: and how would that help me o.o? [09:56] DARKGuy: try asking in #Ubuntu-kernel?\ [09:56] i enabled a nvidia driver and then the whole computer looked like DOS...the grapics was wrong or something [09:56] DARKGuy: try asking in #Ubuntu-kernel? [09:58] n2diy: I'll try, thanks [09:58] n2diy: oh no I didnt think I got it [09:58] i activated a Nvidia accelerator driver and BSYGUDOH everything looks WEIRD [09:58] uhh [09:58] I installed tightvncserver today and It running display 1 ,but I want to use display 0 so I can actually run the gnome I login into when I am at the computer . If that makes since [09:58] I highly doubt that's the problem [09:58] the error is ' could not read symbols: Invalid operation', not no such file :S [09:58] DARKGuy, Do NOT ask in Ubuntu-kernel [09:59] DARKGuy, It's not a support channel [09:59] Happy christam everybody :) [09:59] Jordan_U: Whoops, already did x.x [09:59] you too anto [09:59] Btw anyone here good at java!? [09:59] DARKGuy, Meh, it's not the end of the world, you'll just get a lecture :) [10:00] choongii: actually the file is there, u think it link to a non-existent lib? [10:00] when i try connect to #java it says i need to be registerd [10:00] where do i register? [10:00] zorro, do you run 64 bit? [10:00] Jordan_U: Oh, okay, I got scared and left as soon as you told me lol xD [10:00] !register | anto [10:00] anto: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration [10:00] how can i make the command "wall" work in my terminal, so i could talk with the users from my network ?

[10:05] Fujitsu, wall [10:05] Milotin: press enter between "wall" and "ah", then enter again, then ctrl-d [10:05] Do you know why my AGN-Intel Wifi-Card 4965 doenst work?

[10:07] Fujitsu, but it will send a mass message so all my users could see ? [10:07] Milotin: Yes; that's what wall does. [10:07] http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=libc-dev&searchon=names&subword=1&version=gutsy&release=all :) [10:07] greedo: It should load them as necessary, except for graphics. [10:07] Fujitsu, and if i want to send a message two one user only ? [10:08] greedo, Yes, virtualization uses some virtual hardware, the "graphics card" for instance is virtual, and therefore cannot do accelerated 3D ( yet ) [10:08] Milotin: use write instead of wall [10:08] Milotin: wall = write all [10:08] Milotin: write user <<< Whatever. [10:08] Fujitsu: so in my xorg.conf i just need to list different displays ??? like both vmware video driver and nvidia driver ?

[10:11] (i'm doing *nothing* fancy here, it uses threads but those should be emulated by valgrind aswell right..) [10:11] Fujitsu, Jordan_U found some more info: .xsession-errors contains 11 times a line that the display already has a window manager; also ps ax tells me that I have two processes /usr/bin/X running [10:11] this does not look good [10:11] any idea how to fix this????? [10:11] flexo_, Does it just freeze X? [10:12] Fujitsu, but the message have been sent [10:12] * Fujitsu has to run away for a while now, sorry. [10:12] Jordan_U: well, it's not really a "freeze". it takes about 2-3 seconds where the box grinds to a halt... the mouse cursor still moves *very* slowly, but i can't switch to VT, kill X or anything [10:12] cya Fujitsu [10:12] & thanks for your help [10:13] what also still seems to work is switching window focus, but keypresses dont seem to have any effect on anything [10:13] flexo_: Is it by any chance mallocing a lot? [10:13] Fujitsu: might be [10:13] (well, actually, yes, recursivly.. :) [10:13] flexo_: That sounds like it's eating into swap or so... [10:13] oh.. [10:13] ulimit then [10:14] okay, silly me. i'm not used to swap anymore. got rid of it at home a couple of years ago. :) [10:15] (just causes problems, see?) - anyway, damn swap, damn silent harddrives, thanks for the input, i was going crazy here. [10:15] Haha. [10:15] * Fujitsu actually leaves. [10:16] merry Christmas and happy holidays Fujitsu [10:16] how do I reset my video without restarting my x server? [10:17] irssi has a lot more functionality than bitchx from what I've seen [10:18] right, one thing i must do before i leave... [10:18] ergh, my keyboard seems to have died... no key repeat or shift or anything. [10:18] Lilacor: please don't use bitchx - it has horrific security issues. we 9the security team0 would have removed it from all releases, but that's not possible. [10:19] Is it normal I see two /usr/bin/X lines in ps ax ? [10:21] How can you make sure mta don't load up ? I find it takes a lot of time up on the boot process. So if I don't need it to run I don't want it to run. [10:22] what is the desktop app that can be used to manage the files in .gconf? [10:22] eFfeM: gconf-editor? [10:22] (I still haven't managed to leave - just fixed my keyboard stuff) [10:23] Fujitsu, thanks (acutally was looking for a desktop program but this is good enough) [10:24] eFfeM: How's that not a desktop program? [10:24] hello guys [10:24] Hi oldboy. [10:24] i have a problem with my graphic drivers [10:25] Fujitsu, I meant something to start up from the menu, not from the cmd line; of course it is a desktop/gfx program [10:25] still struggling with my .xsession errors [10:25] when i go to activate the desktop effects i get the message "The composite extension not available" [10:25] oldboy: Using ATI drivers? [10:25] YES [10:25] eFfeM: Ah. [10:25] Fujistu, yes [10:26] fujitsu X700 mobility radeon [10:26] oldboy: You're out of luck then, unless you want to stuff around with configuring Xgl. ATI didn't add Composite support to their proprietary drivers until very recently. [10:27] Fujistzu, and what can i do for this?

[10:32] Fujitsu, one more q: how can I edit things with gconf-editor; if I run it as user it says I am not allowed to change the window-manager setting, if I run it as root I am editing the root config [10:32] eFfeM: Which setting?

[10:46] thkx room [10:47] yes dagon [10:47] fujitsu: it's not that the repository modules didn't worked for me when I build them manually, they should work [10:47] ripok: Rebuild or uninstall the modules that you installed manually. [10:47] yes it is looping... sometimes it won't but sometimes it will and i had to restart my laptop [10:47] We don't release broken kernels.

[10:48] np [10:48] sryder , you could try xampp, it has ssl built in, try googling xampp [10:48] I am trying to install the default ubuntu 7.10 image in text-mode, but that doesn't seem possible - is that correct? [10:48] but i upgraded it last night and got the problem [10:48] ripok: Not if those modules are being loaded instead. [10:48] aside from that i'm not having any other issues with the new version [10:48] do I need to download the alternative image for that? [10:48] Andrew: thanks - having a look now [10:49] JDahl: THe alternative image is required, yes. [10:49] anyone who knows what to do? [10:49] Hi... anyone know how I can prevent fsck running when on battery? [10:49] sorry just testing [10:49] MangoMentor_: That's not a way to test.

[10:50] hi guys! anyone had an experience with the looping bongo sound when you login after upgrading to ubuntu 7.10? [10:50] ok sorry you all are right i apologize for thar [10:50] that [10:50] QUI PARLE EN FRANCAIS [10:50] ayan: Wait a bit longer between asks, please. [10:50] !fr [10:50] Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [10:51] I think the problem is that Ubuntu doesnt seem able to detect my battery status at boot time [10:52] wpa2, nm-applet, no roaming, can it be done? [10:52] a [10:52] ayan; check your soundcard and it's preferences [10:52] ubirc0000: *No* reoaming? [10:52] how do i do that dagon. sorry kinda new here. [10:53] s/reoaming/roaming/ [10:53] fujitsu: un-ticking the roaming box in nm-applet [10:53] ubirc0000: Why do you want to do that? [10:53] That will stop NetworkManager from touching it at all. [10:54] fujitsu: i would like to not have the network card not roam all over the neighborhood, just want it to stick to what it knows...my AP [10:55] ubirc0000: It will only connect to what you tell it, even in roaming mode. [10:55] fujitsu: I did make uninstall in alsa source dir and then aptitude reinstall linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic and then tried to load driver modprobe snd-via82xx, but same error [10:55] ripok: Try linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-generic [10:56] ripok: Also, you might need to completely unload the sound modules to get rid of incompatible external-ALSA ones, which is probably best done by rebooting. [10:57] i am undecided as to what linux distro to use, can anyone explain to me the benifits of ubuntu over gentoo, debian or any other distro [10:57] Andrew: There are many sites to give differing views, and this channel isn't appropriate for discussion of it. [10:57] Andrew: If you want to discuss it, head to #ubuntu-offtopic. [10:57] can someone tell me an emulator which won't make some windows programs work hard ? [10:58] Milotin: What do you mean `work hard'? [10:58] fujitsu: I will try the reboot [10:59] jerky [10:59] Milotin: what are you using at the moment? [10:59] Fujitsu, wine [10:59] Milotin: Ahh. That's the only one of its kind. [10:59] Fujitsu : thankyou for the redirect [10:59] Which application is it? [10:59] Sorry but anyone got this error before: /lib/libc.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation [10:59] Fujitsu, a mIRC Script [11:00] hey guys :) anyone ever got Beryl to work on a ATi based machine? i got the xgl running with the correct drivers and the rendering is ATi not metacity things. the only problem i have is that the themes for Beryl dosnt work (an example: i dont have the close (x) button on any frame) [11:00] Milotin: Why mIRC? There are much better IRC clients around. [11:00] DoXiD: Beryl is dead, and cannot really be supported. [11:00] !beryl | DoXiD [11:00] DoXiD: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [11:00] Fujitsu, i`m to familiar with mIRC and with its shortcuts ... [11:00] oh [11:00] DoXiD: berly is now Compiz Fusion === nuu is now known as nu === nu is now known as nuu [11:01] vishal: No. Compiz Fusion is the preferred alternative. [11:01] DoXiD, What version of Ubuntu are you running? [11:01] fujitsu: ah, good to know, thanks :) , ... to clarify, in roaming mode, while connected to my AP, does the network card continuously still ask my neighbors AP if its still there to maintain that list up in the "tray" [11:01] si really didint expect ubuntu to be missing so much intresting an quite poppular (i think) packages .... [11:01] yea i knew that Compiz is the new stuff to go with but was hoping i could start off with Beryl since ive installed that and Compiz dosnt even start for me >& [11:01] ubirc0000: It doesn't ask - it just watches. [11:01] morphles: ... like? [11:01] Jordan_U: Feisty Fawn (7.04) [11:01] morphles, Like what? [11:01] Fujitsu, can you tell me one which look and act la mIRC ( but not KVirc or KSirc ) ? [11:01] epsxe epsxe2 adom [11:01] Milotin: I'm not sure. Many like XChat or XChat-GNOME. [11:01] Fujitsu: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. [11:02] also have some other that are missing but they ar not so well known [11:02] I`m using Xchat right now and it doesn`t act or look like mIRC :) [11:02] vishal: Some Beryl plugins were, but not Beryl itself. [11:02] and i belive there was something else more known just dont recall now [11:02] DoXiD, You might want to upgrade to 7.10, though be sure to remove any beryl / XGL startup scripts you have added ( if any ) before doing so. [11:03] Fujitsu: Most of it was was moved over though wasnt it? [11:03] morphles: I've heard very few references to any of those, and adom I've never heard of. [11:03] AndrewB: xampp looks good but I was hoping to configure my own apache with ssl [11:03] epsxe is a PlayStation emulator, isn't it? [11:03] Fujitsu, and one more thing .. can i do somehow windows programs work without keep wine program.exe started in terminal ? [11:03] vishal, No, compiz is still compiz, compiz-fusion is a replacement for compiz-extras that takes a lot from beryl [11:03] adom ir roguleike game like net hack [11:03] Jordan_U: last time i ran Gutsy 50% of all my applications including the Compiz package totally failed since the applications were out of date or somthing like that.. are you sure that everything will work _ >( [11:03] one of still playd quite much todau [11:04] Hi... anyone know how I can prevent fsck running when on battery? [11:04] sryder: Googling around is probably he best. [11:04] eosxe is an ps emulator === desti_T2 is now known as desti [11:04] DoXiD, No, I am not sure everything will work [11:04] Jordan_U: kk thanks [11:04] morphles: There are probably significant legal issues with that. [11:04] Fujitsu, i mean to do wine program.exe and when i CTRL+C the program won`t stop. and after reboot just double click on it and start ? [11:04] fujitsu: I got it working, thanks [11:04] but pcsx is included [11:04] DoXiD, Did you do a fresh install of Gutsy or an upgrade when it failed? [11:05] also ps emulator [11:05] and gentoo had all what i mentioned... [11:05] morphles: Well, ther may be a good reason it is not included, or it may be that nobody has packaged it. [11:05] It is not a significantly used application, however. [11:05] still :) [11:05] Jordan_U: Fresh :) [11:05] morphles, IIRC all of those are in universe... [11:05] maybe some day ill try to do some packaging... [11:05] And two packages can't be called `so many'/ [11:05] Jordan_U: I don't believe so. [11:05] synaptis doesnt find [11:06] Jordan_U: i had to enable beta applications/unsecure applications in the driver thingie (cant really explain what i did back then) :P [11:06] Jordan_U: And I know universe fairly thoroughly. And multiverse too. [11:06] fujitsu: can i make it stop watching, and just pay attention to my AP? would that be "manual configuration"? i tried that and i cant seem to get it to accept my wpa2 key through the "manual configuration" method, which allows me to un-tick "Enable roaming mode" [11:06] ubirc0000: Why do you want to do that? It doesn't cause any damage to watch. [11:07] When I try to define printer in my guesty I have not any printer in my list [11:07] ubirc0000: The manual configuration method isn't part of NetworkManager, and only does WEP. [11:07] http://www.geocities.com/stssppnn/pcsp.html I want to try this. How do I do it? [11:07] h0n3st, Have you plugged the printer in and turned it on? [11:08] Jordan_U, it is network printer and It is not my problem [11:08] nice [11:08] Jordan_U, I use ppd file but it show error message for cup and nothing work [11:09] Fujitsu, sorry my friend can you send me again the link about xgl? (i am the one with the ati problem) [11:09] !xgl | oldboy [11:09] oldboy: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [11:10] Hey, does anybody know why i have crackling(right word?, sry my english :D) sounds on ubuntu? [11:10] if i would like to remove beryl and all those things connected to it, will apt-get remove beryl remove everything connected to it aswell? [11:10] Fujistu, thanks [11:10] m6: Only in Rhythmbox, or everywhere? === DarthShr1ne is now known as DarthShrine [11:10] DoXiD: Try removing that and libberyl* [11:10] Fujitsu: Every sound, system sounds, amarok... [11:11] Also killing off emerald, emerald-themes... [11:11] m6: Ah, what kind of sound card? [11:11] Fujitsu: wait, i check [11:11] Fujitsu: VIA 8233-Pre [11:12] After I update cup library from none stable repository I have problem with printing. How can I downgrade it? [11:12] m6: I'm not sure then, sorry. [11:12] fujitsu: ah, makes sense then why it wont accept a wpa key there, ... anyway mostly the reason is that ... madwifi, parent wifi0 interface with managed ath0 interface, and wifi0 receives continuous traffic at about 1-2 kb/s constantly, it wont stop, when all is still, wifi0 is there blazing away doing something it probobly is designed to do, maybe its receiving info about what AP's are available, i dunno, any ideas? questions? [11:12] Fujitsu: E: Couldn't find package libberyl [11:12] DoXiD: Try tabbing after entering libberly [11:12] *libberyl [11:13] Fujitsu: nope nothing :P [11:13] ubirc0000: That won't cause any viible traffic. [11:13] fujitsu: what am i seeing on wifi0? :D [11:13] ubirc0000: Who knows? [11:13] Fujitsu: i probobly dont have libberyl so it's all good i think :P [11:16] i need help...i can't see any applets on my panel, or even interact with it (it's just a static grey bar). furthermore, I don't have any desktop backgrounds, and neithre alt+f1 nor alt+f2 work...in short the only thing i'm able to do is ctrl+alt+backspace, but doing that and logging back in makes things worse. any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance [11:17] fujitsu: wifi0 is the virtual device of ath0, ath0 is the main gadget to manage and whatnot, ath0 behaves nicely, i want to give it a cookie, but wifi0 is strange and mysterious, it is off somewhere in its own world "receiving" who knows what, whatever it is, it cannot be seen with libpcap, but somehow it is registered in the "system monitor" as traffic, any ideas? [11:17] od: Try waiting several minutes. [11:17] ubirc0000: Is that a problem? [11:17] is there a way to rotate the screen using the command line? [11:17] been waiting an hour already fujitsu [11:17] fujitsu: i'm not sure [11:18] lol [11:18] od: Ah... Which version of Ubuntu? Have you played with Compiz at all? [11:18] Or Beryl? [11:18] running of livedisk of linkminux, which essentially is based off of 7.10 gusty [11:18] I have a Fujitsu u810, and want my display to rotate when the rotate button is pressed [11:18] gfhfghfg [11:18] od: Talk to Linux Mint, not us. [11:19] i did [11:19] can someone tell me how to make notifications to be shown in active window ? i'm using xChat [11:19] Hello all, I've a practical question: I've read on the web that Ubuntu did not quite supported motherboard with Core 2 Duo and intel 965 chipset sata, is it still the case ? Currently on Vista, I'm slowly planning my jump on Ubuntu, if I can get hold of my whole system [11:19] od: Then do so again. [11:19] why? any fix that works for ubuntu works here [11:19] NiVoK: Ubuntu 7.10 *should* be fine. [11:19] I found how to bind the rotate button to a script, but when I use xrandr -o left, the whole display goes wrong... [11:19] can someone tell me at least how to make notifications to be shown in active windows ? and how can i do some short commands work ( example /w instea of /whois , /q instead of /query ) ? [11:19] od: It's not our fault if Linux Mint is broken. [11:19] fujitsu: i would like to take an intermission in my flood of perhaps needless questions to say thanks, and that i appreciate your help and insight much :) [11:20] ubirc0000: No problem. [11:20] Thanks Fujitsu... Is there a way to test it ? A live cd, maybe ? [11:20] NiVoK: Of course! The default download is the Desktop CD, which is a live CD and has an installer on it. [11:20] hi baimohamed [11:20] So I can use the desktop install AS a live cd ? [11:20] Thanks a lot [11:21] hi [11:21] NiVoK: The Desktop CD is a live CD. [11:21] fuji: care to explain to me then, how this problem reoccurs on all ubuntu based distros (including ubuntu itself)? [11:23] or is it simply your way of saying "damn, I can't help this guy, here's a scape goat > lets blame it on another distro and shove him off to the side) [11:23] if i can't be helped, thats fine, but to give the typcial microsoft-like "i didn't do it, so fuck you" response is redulous [11:23] rediculous === cherva_ is now known as cherva [11:29] fujitsu: i suppose what i am saying is that the mysterious traffic with wifi0 is a problem, in that it is constantly "receiving" seemingly useless traffic (even not associated to any AP with ath0) which keeps the bandwidth counters on system monitor going up and therefore creating a false representation of "received" data/packets in the "system monitor" app, ...does anyone else have a setup with madwifi (wifi0,ath0), surely... an === [InFeRnAl] is now known as ruif13 [11:32] irc.azzurra.org:6667-6669GROUP:Azzurra [11:32] hi, too all, i have 2 simple questions how can i start the vncserver without login in my ubuntu? and the second question is how can i do to put my harddisk detected without click on it and put root password.?

It does setup internet over LAN/Cable modem automatically. [11:52] uhh very bad english, but you got the point :P [11:52] galdar\linux: first make it excutable sudo chmod a+x NAMEOFFILE. bin [11:52] Xera^, but maybe you would have to setup network parameters yourself. I don't know sorry. [11:52] galdar\linux: then do sudo ./NAMEOFFILE.bin [11:52] UBUNTUISLOVED: then why is it not showing up on my command line? how do i find out where it's going? [11:53] abhi: why what happens when you do php from command line? [11:53] UBUNTUISLOVED: it gives me php-config and phpize [11:53] hi [11:53] abhi: do php -V [11:53] UBUNTUISLOVED: thanks :D [11:53] galdar\linux: your welcome [11:54] UBUNTUISLOVED: well it says /usr/bin/php not found [11:54] do a locate php [11:54] whats the best thing to use for flash? [11:54] the cli php is a different package [11:54] if you're installing via apt [11:54] if that doesnt return it then do a sudo updatedb then do a sudo locate php [11:54] and how do i get the flash player? [11:55] op system1 [11:55] J_Laptop: no hes compiling from source [11:55] OP system1 [11:55] in that case try passing --enable-cli to configure [11:55] even tho that *should* be standard [11:55] predaeus could I use envy? [11:55] J_Laptop: no enablecli is by default see php.net [11:55] how do i find what type of wireless card i am using? its a laptop... ive forgotten the terminal command to check my hardware [11:55] jack: are you after you tube? [11:56] lspci [11:56] no a friends wedding pics [11:56] billy: also see dmesg|more [11:56] ere4si: no a friends wedding pics on a photo sharing site [11:56] thanks ubotu [11:56] jack - ordinarily you could do apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [11:56] but that package is broken right now [11:56] Xera^, I don't know if envy is supported or recommended by the Ubuntu community. Also it seems to require an internet connection too. [11:56] jack: the plugin at firefox's site then - adobe flash [11:57] predaeus well if Ubuntu configures the LAN auto then the internet won't be a problem [11:57] jack: you should have a bookmark that will take you there [11:57] ere4si: J_Laptop thanks [11:57] ere4si: thanks again [11:57] UBUNTUISLOVED: Ah you need the line "Defaults env_reset" to get sudo to work properly (So now the line %wheel ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL works as it should have all along) [11:57] k [11:58] mark__: or you can logout and log back in or just reboot to do the same thing [11:58] Merry Christmas!! [11:59] bah humbug [11:59] mark__: ive never heard of anyone putting it in that file? where did you see that [11:59] Fujitsu, just a short msg to tell you that I gave up, decided to go for a reinstall, that is probably much faster and definitely less time consuming; still thanks a lot for your help & merry x-mas! [12:00] UBUNTUISLOVED: the debian sudoers file [12:00] eFfeM: Sorry I couldn't help - Merry Christmas to you too! [12:00] Xera^, give envy a shot it's just the livecd run anyway no installed system that would be messed up. But I would assume envy works fine. read this http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html if you haven'T already. [12:00] mark__: no i mean the % lines in sudoers [12:00] UBUNTUISLOVED: or maybe it was this line i commented out Defaults !lecture,tty_tickets,!fqdn for it to work [12:01] UBUNTUISLOVED: it is for groups, i got it from the debian sudoers i think [12:01] mark__: hmmm ok well im glad all is working for you but remember now any script can run as root without your permission [12:02] Guys, can someone tell me that the Ubuntu support for Dell XPS M1330 ?? [12:02] UBUNTUISLOVED: what kind of scripts? ubuntu scripts? or downloaded ones? [12:02] mark__: so if a bug is in firefox and wants to execute it can just run anything if such thing existed [12:02] is there a way to make ubuntu scan for windows installations and add them to the grub menu? [12:02] UBUNTUISLOVED: because i always check the code before executing it, or i write it myself [12:02] jesse - it does that on installation [12:03] mark__: well if a new way to hack ubuntu comes out with loading a webpage you'll be sorry [12:03] J_Laptop: i know, but i installed windows after ubuntu and now i need ubuntu to add windows to the grub menu [12:03] just add it manually to the grub file [12:03] hi, people, anybody used planner with postgresql [12:03] UBUNTUISLOVED: hmm ok. Well i've been doing it for months on gentoo, and never had any security problems (that i'm aware of :P) [12:03] mark__: thats why they dont recommend running as root [12:03] it's easy to do :) [12:03] J_Laptop: okay, what do i have to add?

[12:15] Ubuntusolved: vol up and down move the sound from the 2 front speakers to the 2 rear speakers [12:16] Ubuntusolved: it doesnt dicrease or increase the sound volume [12:16] Hi... how can i prevent my laptop running fsck when on battery> [12:16] amerio: can you answer the question if its the icon in ubuntu your changing [12:16] Ubuntusolved: yeah the icon [12:17] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/laptop-mode/+bug/11194 [12:17] amerio: ok if you right click the icon [12:17] amerio: then choose preferences option [12:17] amerio: you can change how sound is handed [12:17] handled [12:18] has anyone ever had a problem with an USB-mouse for laptop?

[12:20] bazhang; yup, then i read something with a synaptics driver but it didn't work out [12:20] bazhang; the weird thing is that I use an USB-mouse on my stationary computer too without trouble [12:21] dagon^: how laggy is this mouse? is a mouse issue or a video redrawing issue? [12:21] dagon^: also a ubuntu box? [12:21] bazhang; yup [12:21] billy: you should read up on it first--want a link? [12:22] amerio: sometimes it is pcm [12:22] bazhang, doing so now :) thanks [12:22] bazhang; like, it jumps 3cm at a time [12:22] ere4si: how can I fix it so I can control the sound volume from the icon , because I only control it from the speakers itself [12:23] dagon^: then clearly it is not the mouse but some conflict in the system [12:23] !info irq [12:23] bazhang; it could be an interferance(?) with the touchpad [12:23] Package irq does not exist in gutsy [12:23] Hmf.

[12:23] It worked with 6.10 or 7.04 (not sure which one he used earlier). [12:24] bazhang; it won't disable [12:24] Any clues on how to get X working again? :) [12:24] amerio: I've never had sound issues so I don't know the troubleshooting routine - can only suggest you google for your sound card in ubuntu - mostly gets results - sorry :) [12:24] ruif13: vncserver http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-438138.html script to start it and put it in the start scripts [12:24] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will reconfigure your xserver arcade [12:24] arcade; I got something like that when I tried to upgrade, I took a look in xorg.conf and changed the resolution, it was set much to high for my screen [12:24] arcade: copy your old xorg.conf and do chattr +i /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:24] ere4si I spent the night googling :S didnt find any solution :s anyway thanx mate [12:25] amerio: what's the sound card?

[12:26] dagon^: and then it started acting up, or before? [12:27] hmm, the installation of synaptics touchpad package made no difference === mint is now known as RichWhiteMale [12:27] amerio: could just be controlling the front speakers? - rear speakers on when the front ones are up?

[12:29] ATI Technologies Inc RV516 [Radeon X1300/X1550 Series] < according to lspci [12:29] arcade do you get dumped into a vesa mode, or terminal (black screen) [12:29] bazhang; yeah I know :P [12:29] bazhang: terminal [12:30] why it freeze screen when i activate Nvidia driver ? [12:30] bazhang: I'm adept at the terminal. ;) I'm just not adept at X, which has seemed like black magic to me since the 90s. :P [12:30] arcade: can you start up in safe mode? [12:30] ere4si : well make the vol up it moves the sound from rear to front but the rear still work with lower sound , and vice versa moving the sound from front to rear but the front keep working with low sound [12:30] arcade haha same here--though slowly improving :} [12:30] bazhang: X can't start, as it reports 'no screens found'. [12:31] hmm [12:31] can someone tell me if i can see my ddr2 ram frequence from my terminal ? [12:31] anyone here ever tried Linux From Scratch ?

[12:32] why gparted live cd tell me that my hda1 is in use or mounted, when i want to resize it [12:32] amerio: was thinking you only had control on the front speakers and the rears were working the same all the time - your right - nothing from google about your card [12:32] http://jeffrasmussen.wordpress.com/2007/01/12/ati-radeon-x1300-works/ arcade--someone got it working :} [12:33] bazhang: Uhm, I'm quite without a webbrowser atm. ;P [12:33] bazhang: Unless it renders in links. Lemme try [12:34] arcade: oops forgot sorry [12:34] ere4si: u got the concept? speakers are working great , sound is good , all speakers including the subwoofer is working gr8 , the problem is when I click on volume control on panel and try 2 make the volume higher it moves the sound from front speakers to rear speakers instead of increasing the sound and when I want to make the volume lower it moves from rear speakers to front speakers instead of making it lower [12:34] bazhang: w3m shows it nice enough [12:34] arcade this is gutsy right? [12:35] bazhang: Yeps [12:35] UBUNTUISLOVED the autostart of vncserver isn't in the forum [12:35] bazhang: Having a tad trouble downloading that file from ATI though :P [12:35] arcade: haha [12:36] amerio: just googled "soundblaster support in linux" and it seems that is a new thing - your brand of card hasn't had support for long [12:36] ere4si: do you think if I reset alsamixer settings to default i'll lose everything like settings for my card and settings for .asound file? [12:36] amerio: install alsa-utils, and execute alsamixer, and set all volumes evenly right. Then adapt the sound with the physical box thing and from rythbox itself [12:36] bazhang: Got that one too, let's see whether this will work out :P [12:36] amerio: I've no experience with sound probs so I couldn't say...

[13:02] Wow, the list of things I'll have trouble with in x64 is enormous! [13:02] Andeh: I could, but it's better if you tell me what you are going to use your computer for, rather than me listing lots of irrelevant applications. [13:02] soundray: thank you [13:02] slytherin: sorry I means "so is flpsed", as in "a pain" [13:02] soundray: Hmm. Well mostly just webdesigning, possibly a bit of 3D [13:02] laughzilla: it has got nothing to do with gl, it should just play. I have no idea about it, sorry. [13:03] Andeh: if you run raytracing, you might benefit from the wider memory bus, and possibly also from the extra RAM. [13:03] hey everyone i have some questions if anyone is available [13:04] shoot [13:04] Andeh: the other popular type of application that benefits from 64bit is video encoding [13:04] soundray: I only do it sometimes when I am really bored. [13:04] I'm just your casual desktop user [13:04] ;p [13:04] i just installed ubuntu on my other laptop and it installed successfuly but it fails to load the OS [13:04] when i tried the recovery it fails to load the hardware drivers.. i dont know what that means [13:04] The reason I even want to install linux is to do a really thorough copy of a damaged data DVD I have [13:04] And since windows sucks :P [13:05] I just setup Samba, so now i want to setup a FTP server, except i can't find a good tutorial... can someone help me? [13:05] Andeh: 32bit will give you fewer troubles when you install closed-source binaries, as these may only be available in 32bit. [13:05] Please and Thank you =) *wink* === ben__ is now known as Hypergraphe [13:05] soundray: I use flashplayer often [13:05] so if anyone has any ideas please let me know :\ [13:05] and skype, etc [13:06] hmm [13:06] I'm thinking 32 bit [13:06] Ah. One more thing [13:06] Andeh: go with 32 bits then, yeah [13:06] I run lots of stuff in virtual enviroments [13:06] VirtualBox especially [13:06] I use it to test other OS === Speedinbil_ is now known as Speedinbil [13:06] Will 64 bit make a huge difference in virtualisation speed? [13:07] Andeh: not necessarily, but it will make things smoother when you run two or more guests in parallel [13:07] ah [13:07] I rarely do that though [13:07] okay then [13:07] Thanks! [13:08] Andeh: you could of course install 64bits and install a 32bit guest for Skype etc. [13:08] is anyone here not busy enough to help me get through a fresh installation of ubuntu? [13:08] fsanlu: how does your bootup fail? [13:09] soundray: it just stops booting at a certain point [13:09] Soundray: So you're saying I should install 64 bit and then make a virtual machine, run 32 bit inside it and run all the proprietary apps there? [13:09] fsanlu: can you be more precise [13:09] soundray: then i ran my recovery and it said just stopped at "loading hardware drivers" [13:09] soundray: Right? [13:09] Andeh: it's an option, but on balance I still think you'd have it easier with plain old 32bits [13:09] ah okay then === dark-alias is now known as S0ld13r [13:09] hey guyz [13:10] fsanlu: where does it stop when you don't choose the recovery option?

That's the name of the driver project for Atheros devices [13:13] fsanlu: no [13:13] soundray: heh [13:14] fsanlu: look at /var/log/syslog and see if you can determine the cause of the hang when you boot normally [13:14] hey wow [13:14] exit [13:14] erm, sorry :p [13:14] I'm running Flashplayer in Xubuntu in a VM under WinXP [13:14] and its still fast!

[13:22] Hi... is there anyway to completly undo any apt-get activity from today?

I want to try to do something with a normal webcam [13:23] chazco: I think that Synaptic keep an history of downloading ... but I don't know more. [13:23] chazco: not automatically, but look in /var/log/installer for a list of what you've done recently [13:23] A lot unfortunatly... tried to install Mythtv... [13:23] chazco: you may have to get a 'sudo -i'-shell to look at those files [13:23] hi there i ve been looking for a section in ubuntu forums i think it was called ubuntu fashion desktops where people put screenshots with explanation what they did to made it.... it was like one year ago and now im looking for it but im unable to find it.... if any of you have the link i would be aprechiated... thanks [13:24] chazco: /var/log/dpkg.log [13:24] soundray: alright i am rebooting now. *crosses fingers* [13:24] guys sorry if this message arrive twice. i lost my connection. .... hi there i ve been looking for a section in ubuntu forums i think it was called ubuntu fashion desktops where people put screenshots with explanation what they did to made it.... it was like one year ago and now im looking for it but im unable to find it.... if any of you have the link i would be aprechiated... thanks [13:25] Ok... think i'm going to have to uninstall Ubuntu (again :( ) [13:25] Catsceo: why? [13:25] Oo [13:25] Takes ages to reinstall, not looking forward to it [13:25] chazco: ^^ [13:25] Ok.. NVIDIA driver working [13:25] How do I turn down the fan speed?

[13:26] hi, could anyone explain how to send email message using mail program on terminal? [13:27] chazco, why are you reinstalling? [13:27] Because installing MythTv has screwed quite a lot of stuff up [13:27] fsanlu: there are two possible explanations I can think of. [13:27] Not having much luck with Ubuntu lately :( [13:27] chazco [13:27] soundray: alright i turned off my computer again. can this be the version i installed? amd 64 is for amd 64 turion x2 which is what my laptop is right? [13:28] fsanlu: either you have bad RAM (check with memtest86 boot option, leave running for a few hours) [13:28] chazco sudo apt-get remove --purge MythTv [13:28] It installed quite a lot of other stuff, e.g. mysql... [13:28] fsanlu: amd64 should be fine. The other possibility is a PCI incompatibility, which you may be able to fix with a boot option [13:28] chazco, uninstall everything like I just showed you [13:28] !bootoptions > fsanlu, please read the private message from ubotu [13:29] Trouble is I dont know exacttly what it installed, so cant get everything [13:29] the chazco --purge will get it [13:29] chazco: did you read my reply? [13:29] soundray: alright i shall read these over, thank you. [13:30] Yep, its way too tricky to do that for this... soundray [13:30] crush_groove - it doesnt show mysql when i run it, so its missed at least one [13:30] chazco: looking at logs is too tricky? [13:30] Long winded maybe... theres quite a lot [13:30] i am trying to share a folder on ubuntu to a windows computer, tried this, http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/05/19/how-to-share-files-and-folders-in-ubuntu/ but the ubuntu shared folder doesnt even show up on the windows machine, any ideas ? thanks [13:31] chazco: so only look at the recent entries, made since you installed mythtv [13:31] chazco its your decision . you wont learnm anything at all by reinstalling everytime you have an issue [13:31] Not too interested in learning right now, would rather have it working [13:31] soundray is that the shell -i command ? [13:31] chazco: what is it that's not working? [13:31] how do i install unrealircd on ubuntu? [13:32] crush_groove: I suggested looking at the installer logs [13:32] can i talk with someone who've done a pendrive with gutsy? [13:32] Sorry but anyone got this error before: /lib/libc.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation [13:32] Mythtv doesnt work at all, despite being there... mysql wont go away (ive killed it for now, but it keeps restarting), no idea what else it started running [13:32] !mythtv | chazco [13:32] chazco: MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV [13:33] chazco: did you follow this ^^ ? [13:33] No, it seriously doesnt work... Mysql errors from it, lock ups (on Linux!)... [13:33] FInally made it start and it cant see my TV card (Kaffeine on Gnome can though) [13:34] nodz .,. [13:34] gmornin btw room [13:34] !samba > tim167, please read the private message from ubotu [13:34] A total reinstall wont be too bad, just a hassle for packages that dont have .debs and rebuilding my TV card modules [13:35] chazco: were you here a while ago, having trouble loading one particular page with firefox? [13:35] soundray - yep, fixed it (recently, not sure how it fixes it though) [13:36] chazco: it was probably changed on the server side, then [13:36] ? [13:36] I changed a setting (tcp_window_scaling) to fix it... i meant i dont know why it fixes it [13:36] chazco: I see [13:36] soundray - last post on here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=608760 [13:36] chazco: did you get the ubotu factoid for mythtv? [13:37] Yep, it doesnt help much [13:38] need help guys,i need to erase 2 software raid arrays created with mdadm,I made the mistake of giving both arrays the same drives hde hdg,can't kill those suckers, I have stopped them changed the partion type tried to remove them and tried to zero the superblocks, it won't let me zero the blocks [13:38] can i talk with someone who've done a pendrive with gutsy? [13:38] hello [13:38] san|: are you still here? [13:38] soundray, thanks for the links, which part of that explains me how i can access a folder from a windows computer that is located on an ubuntu computer ? [13:38] ext3 [13:38] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras <-- that'll work right? (making a script to reinstall everything) [13:38] driver [13:38] tim167: the part that tells you how to install and setup samba [13:39] krabador: what the problem, when you insert the pendrive it should automount. [13:39] soundray: some good news. okay so i tried "noapic" and it got me to load the OS... just curious what does that mean? [13:39] soundray ok thanks looking at it ... [13:39] Anyone know how to stop fsck running when on battery? [13:39] soundray: thank you for referring that btw.. just curious do i have to do that all the time when i turn off my laptop? [13:39] chazco: no idea, sorry. [13:40] Hi. How do I see how much diskspace I have on a particular partition?? [13:40] fisher: df -h [13:40] chazco: if a drive is uncleanly unmounted it has to run fsck. no sensible way around it.. ever [13:40] unlesds you like to lose your data [13:40] fsanlu: I've used this myself often, although it's pretty much a black box to me too. I've been told, though, that it works around poor south bridge implementations on certain motherboards (e.g. MSI) [13:40] brobostigon: in bootstrap, with bios well sected, ubuntu don't start [13:40] Its always cleanly done, it scans every 30 boots [13:40] Its always cleanly done, it scans every 30 boots - wols [13:40] that is different. man tune2fs [13:41] soundray: i see, im not sure what my laptop has, but how do i not go thru the trouble of doing that over and over? [13:41] So, I have enough disk space. But I don know how I cannot install nvidia driver. [13:41] I can disable it from before I shutdown but if I forget it can catch me off-gurard [13:41] krabador: s you are trying to boot linux of a pendrive, and it wont?? [13:41] chazco: what errors? [13:41] Fisher: what errors? [13:41] fsanlu: make a change in /boot/grub/menu.lst -- add it to the line that begins with #kopt= [13:41] By the way, why everytime ubuntu updates I need to reinstall this driver?? I getting tired of this!!! [13:41] chazco: tune2fs can disable it for good [13:41] hi [13:42] need some help here guys [13:42] It says it cannot copy / restore some files... [13:42] Fisher: how are you installing it in the first place exactly? [13:42] wols - I'd rather not do... its just not supposed to run when on battery, but it seems to do anyway [13:42] iĺl pastebin the log [13:42] Fisher: If you install the nvidia driver from the restricted drivers manager, there is no re-install needed. [13:42] with the nvidia installer [13:42] brobostigon: yes, i follow http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/ and it don't work..... [13:42] Fisher: either you giev us the exact errors and what you do or you need to fix your own problems [13:42] Fisher: ubuntu doesn't support this. ask nividia. not a ubuntu problem [13:42] brobostigon: i followed many many times the same steps... [13:42] just a moment... iĺl open the log [13:43] Fisher: it doesn't matter anymore. no nvidia installer support. ask #nvidia [13:43] soundray: okay i found it... although i cannot edit it due to permissions? hehehe wonderful world of linux..

[13:43] i've downloaded it and burnt it on to a cd rom [13:43] bear_: yes, with apt-zip or aptoncd [13:43] chazco: if you set a high value with tune2fs -c and then occasionally do a manual full fsck on AC (touch /forcefsck then reboot), it won't do it when on battery.

[13:48] anks guys [13:48] thanks guys* [13:49] Is there anywhere a good how-to/tutorial/or so to correctly enable hibernate/standby/suspend function in my laptop?? [13:49] I want to run my existing Windows XP install as a Virtual Machine under VMWare. I have a SATA hard disk. Does anyone know a guide for this? [13:49] earthian: probably not. The problem tends to be that different machines have differently buggy ACPI implementations. [13:49] Fisher: Its in System>Administration>Restricted drivers manager. But you may want to talk to the folks in #nvidia about correctly removing the ones you have setup. [13:49] I found guides for SCSI and IDE hard disks on the forums [13:50] Andeh: offtopic, try ##windows [13:50] and is it possible to get my sony ericsson w700i mobile ohne to be detected i have unlimited internet gprs on it i want to use it for internet on ubuntu [13:50] I have one NIC eth0 on my Xen server. I want this one to be eth0 in dom0 and not bridged to any other domU. Then I want a virtual eth2 in dom0 and virtual eth0s in each domU connect to the same bridge. Traffic then will be routed through dom0. How can I achieve this? [13:50] found it, but it only has a smartlink driver here... [13:50] Pici: Ah. Of course. Sorry :) [13:50] earthian: if yours doesn't work out of the box, have a look at the options in /etc/default/acpi-support [13:51] it was working fine.... I just don't know what happened... [13:51] ＠Andeh:see http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_feisty_fawn_vmware_server_howto [13:51] soundray, it did work... however now with fglrx drivers (oh noes!) it crashes [13:51] Fisher: Every time that there is a kernel update, you need to reinstall your nvidia drivers if you got them from nvidia. [13:51] Fisher: And iirc, there was a kernel update recently. [13:51] damm!! I drop windows because of that!! You turn off yur pc and is not sure how it will be when you power on it again. Now the same with ubuntu!!! [13:52] earthian: I think there is a known incompatibility, it has something to do with something called slab/slub [13:52] i see [13:52] thanks soundray [13:52] borndeer: Yeah. I need to know how to run my existing windows XP partition in it, though. [13:53] How can I backup my keybindings from Gnome (I have some setup for an IR remote)? [13:53] Just another question, VirtualBox can NOT run a partition as a VM, right? [13:53] earthian: have a look at tuxmobil.org -- you may find installation reports on your type of machine, telling you how others have dealt with suspend/hibernate issues [13:53] Is it possible to get my sony ericsson w700i mobile ohne to be detected i have unlimited internet gprs on it i want to use it for internet on ubuntu? [13:53] Andeh: try #vbox [13:54] Fisher: look just get that drivers from the repo and you can update your kernal all you want,never got mine strait from nvidia [13:54] andeh - one of the options when setting up a virtual machine is to use an existing disk partition [13:54] andeh - it often doesnt work well though, in my own experience anyway [13:55] MF_Debian: In VistualBox? [13:55] *VirtualBox [13:55] andeh - sorry, i was talking about vmware [13:55] hello! is it possible to install ubuntu 7.10 together with xorg 7.1? i don't get my dual head setup running with 7.3. [13:55] ah [13:55] Hmm [13:55] Andeh: well , you need to install windows xp under VMware ,open "VMware Server Console" and select " create a new virtual machine" [13:56] jvm123: no, it'll be next to impossible to untangle gutsy from its (heavily customized) xorg setup. [13:56] jvm123: see ubotu's private message -- maybe you'll solve your dualhead issue [13:56] !dualhead > jvm123 [13:57] does anyone have a good guide that will remove these damn software arrays?Yes i searched...bah it seems it all i do now [13:57] Hi, I'm wondering how I can get PekWM on my ubuntu server install [13:57] Zenerek: what do you mean by software arrays?

[13:58] x minutes of idle time?

[15:51] rodolfo, in this room many people have much of the same information yet some excel in other ares such as hardware video stuff app management etc . they all are a piece of a larger puzzle that when formed create a strong Ubuntu support network .. that is my view anyway after several days of watching [15:51] how to install bin file [15:51] LHoT:: sudo apt-get remove gnash-plugin [15:51] thanks.

[15:57] ok B-rabbit ill try that [15:57] LHoT: A perfect example is flash... It has been pulled because it dosent work for everyone... even though it would work for more people than automatix.. that still is not good enough [15:57] herbi1, you just have to mess around with the settings at bit... [15:57] user is kurt, group is root [15:58] kurt, ??? [15:58] so what do we use if automatix is so bad [15:58] google [15:58] JS: on the topic of flash, in apt, is it "flash non-free" [15:58] B-rabbit: yes [15:58] smacky: You dont need those scripts to install things [15:58] smacky, apt-get [15:59] smacky: despair and cry.

[16:10] or kill task i should say [16:10] !es > verb [16:10] thanks [16:11] foo25amc: What if you do `iwlist ethX scanning` where ethX is your wifi adapter [16:11] Does anybody here use gfire?

[16:11] Chemicalvamp, lspci [16:12] morning folks [16:12] Pici: No scan results [16:12] Well, I've made a gfire .deb for amd64 and would like to contribute it... If anybody knows what to do please tell me. [16:13] !devel | ader10 [16:13] anyone here have any experience getting the aticonfig tool to actually be useful? [16:13] !newpackage | ader10 [16:13] nickrud what i had in mind was something to tell me what hda1, hda2... sda2 are listed as [16:13] for grub [16:13] foo25amc: Any errors? [16:13] * Pici pokes ubotu [16:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about devel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [16:13] ader10: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [16:13] hi, my broadcom wireless card won't connect to a WPA network on Gutsy [16:13] ader10, you could submit it to getdeb.net [16:13] nickrud : reconnected it now my machine doesnt recognize it :S [16:13] Chemicalvamp: (hd0,0) etc [16:13] anyone know ho to setup webmin so perl script work? [16:13] !webmin | zylmak [16:13] zylmak: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system [16:14] amerioz, did anything come up in the syslog tail? [16:14] Pici: None, it just displayed that message instantly, this is really confusing =S [16:14] Ok Jack_Sparrow i've got the CD in [16:14] nickrud: nah [16:14] Thanks guys, I'll submit it to getdeb since the ubuntu repos are never updated. [16:14] grunthus yeah that would be first harddrive first partition... but my flash drive is 0,0 and my harddrive hould be [16:14] RequinB4: power up [16:14] ubotu is there an equivalent to webmin? [16:14] ader10: Quick question, how did you make the package? [16:14] Jack_Sparrow: ha ha. I'm at the boot options screen [16:14] zylmak: Ubotu is a bot. [16:14] RequinB4: Glad to hear your system works... [16:14] oh ok [16:15] dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot [16:15] foo25amc: What mode does it say that the adapter is in when you use iwconfig? [16:15] nickrud: sorry yeah , new device added [16:15] Chemicalvamp, ah, sudo fdisk -l will tell you the partitions, but you have to translate: a = 0 , 1=0 so sdd7 = 3,6 [16:15] I'd assume that's the accepted way [16:15] RequinB4: Now you can breath a bit easier... [16:15] Pici: Managed [16:15] ader10: just making sure that it wasn't a checkinstall. [16:15] ok [16:15] RequinB4: Well, yes and no. I'd still prefer to boot a OS [16:15] amerio, k, does it give a device identifier, like /dev/sdb or such? [16:15] Chemicalvamp: think that sdXX would be (hd1, ?? [16:16] I can boot off any partition from here and run a bunch of Gparted stuff [16:16] since i use kubuntu that will be another command right [16:16] Chemicalvamp: prob. not a good idea to get wrong. Check man grub [16:16] foo25amc: If you set the ssid manually `sudo iwconfig ethX essid "yourssid"` does it associate? [16:16] like something with konqueror [16:16] nickrud: Nop [16:16] amerioz, could you put the stuff that came when you plugged it in on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org ? [16:16] RequinB4: 7.10 live not booting does not cause me concern... feisty worked on more computers... do you still have that other livecd around... [16:17] I plugged my phone in and under the device manager it shows motorola is plugged in but everything is unknown about it what should i do? [16:17] grunthus my usb key is hd0,0 and hd0,3 is hda4 [16:17] Jack_Sparrow yes i have 7.10 [16:17] nickrud: hold on [16:17] amerioz, if you're not sure where it started, please redo the experiment, to be sure you get it all [16:17] Pici: It doesn't appear to do anything [16:18] RequinB4: I have the alternate 7.10 for doing my installs.... live didnt work as often as I would have liked. [16:18] who knows the command to power down an hdd ? [16:18] uniqoder: can you tell me how to mount my phone exactly? i'm not sure what you ment by that [16:18] nickrud: done i pasted it [16:18] amerioz, could you tell me the link :) [16:18] foo25amc: I'm not sure what to suggest at this point,. [16:18] Jack_Sparrow - heh, at this point i just want an OS [16:18] RequinB4: You can use gparted live that you have to verify your partitions are still intact on the problem box of yours [16:18] well that sucks [16:18] nickrud: ops I closed it lol [16:18] booting Gparted gives me the same moniter error [16:19] nickrud: let me do it again [16:19] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49484/ [16:19] RequinB4: There are several option you can use at start or install... after hitting F6t [16:19] RequinB4: lose the t [16:19] amerioz, do ls /media/sdb1 [16:20] nickrud: no such file or directory [16:20] RequinB4: Did you check for lose connections and / or reseat the card.. make sure system is unplugged not just turned off [16:20] Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, i looked at that... I'm not sure what is the problem though, every OS i've loaded on here says the same error - "Out of range, set moniter to 1280x1024" [16:20] Jack_Sparrow - haven't touched hardware yet [16:20] amerioz, hm, the kernel said it found it, do ls /dev/sd* , do you see sdb1 in there? [16:21] Cept to change the moniter Jack_Sparrow [16:21] RequinB4: Sounds like it is time to get out the screwdriver [16:21] Pici: Odd, I tried manual settings via Network Manager there, and it's showing the signal strength now as zero and telling me "Wireless network connection to 'linksys' (0%)" [16:21] Great [16:21] nickrud: yeah I see sdb1 [16:21] Anyway thanks for your help Jack_Sparrow. Worst comes to worst i have another, depricated video card [16:21] RequinB4: remember, unplug, and give it a minute [16:21] Can someone tell me how to make my phone install onto my computer? I'm trying to take pics and vids off teh phone via usb cable anyone help? [16:21] amerioz, ok, now mount , do you see /dev/sdb1 in there [16:21] so if i install gutsy on a harddrive and move it into another laptop what are the odds it will work? [16:22] RequinB4: Wish it was better news [16:22] nickrud: how do I mount ? [16:22] amerioz, if you just type mount in a terminal, it will list all the mounted devices [16:22] Pici: Sorry about that, the internet stopping working after trying manual settings =S [16:22] foo25amc: Heh. [16:22] Pici: Looks like a reinstallation [16:23] foo25amc: Sorry :( [16:23] Pici: At least it's not as bad as Windows... I've reinstalled it roughly 20-30 times in the last year =/ [16:23] nickrud: cannot see sdb1 [16:23] Chemicalvamp, perty darn good, you may need to run dpkg dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg in recovery mode to get X but that's about it [16:23] foo25amc: Thats just insane. [16:24] Jack_Sparrow - I'm less versed in hardware, but i'll check for loose connections later -.- I'm just lucky I have my laptop. Thanks for helping me figure out what WASN'T going wrong >.> [16:24] RequinB4: We do our best at hardware issues too.. [16:24] amerioz, ok, then type sudo mount /dev/sdb1 -text3 /mnt , then ls /mnt , see if you see your files [16:25] amerioz, erm, what kind of partition is your external, it might not be ext3 [16:25] Pici: Exactly... It constantly seems to corrupt itself somehow, I've been using Windows for the last 10 years, but I can't keep it working on this laptop no matter what. Thanks for the help anyway, I guess I'll begin with the reinstallation. Do you reckon it'd be easier to install 7.04 and download 7.10 while I wait and upgrade using the 7.10 disk I burn? [16:25] Jack_Sparrow - well, would you say it would be a connection problem or a video card problem? I'd assume it isn't the moniter because i've changed it to no avail [16:25] nickrud : mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, [16:25] foo25amc: Its up to you. Its always better to do a fresh installation than to upgrade though. [16:25] amerioz, yeah, it's probably ntfs , right? [16:25] nickrud: yeah ntfs === PinkPony is now known as Myrtti [16:26] amerioz, ok, then type sudo mount /dev/sdb1 -tntfs /mnt , then ls /mnt , see if you see your files [16:26] RequinB4: Since you have a spare card. no matter how lame.. and you have switched monitors.. you should try that... [16:26] nickrud: got 2 choices [16:26] nickrud you should say that again and separate the differnt commands so i dont mess up [16:26] amerioz, choices? [16:26] ok, install worked, network is seen, but it won't connect [16:26] does photoshop work in ubuntu? [16:27] Pici: I'm going to do a fresh installation, just wondering would it be quicker to install all the updates via Update Manager and upgrade using it, or download a copy of 7.10 for the upgrade [16:27] RequinB4: Reseating the card can do wonders.... make sure power is off, pull the card wipe the edge with non-static cloth and reinsert [16:27] foo25amc: Quicker to just download 7.10 [16:27] m3gach33zy: do you know what usb port # you plugged your device into? [16:27] Chemicalvamp, typing too fast , sorry: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg [16:27] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49485/ [16:27] all one command? [16:28] Jack_Sparrow, yeah, but what i don't understand is why it should have stopped working now. My comp screwdrivers are not with me atm, so i'm stuck conjecturing... Thanks very much, i'll fiddle with it. [16:28] Pici: Ok, thanks very much for all your help, greatly appriciated, hopefully I'll cya around ;) [16:28] RequinB4: Also check cooling fans while you are in there... I have seen inch thick dust and even dead mice in computers.. [16:29] Ouch [16:29] is there still a conflict with the WMP53G wireless cards? [16:29] amerioz, ok, check to be sure it's not mounted ( mount in a terminal ) then reboot to windows, plug it in, let windows fix it. Sorry, but I don't trust linux ntfs tools that much [16:29] nickrud : dont have windows :) [16:29] amerioz, windows should clear up any issues with the partition , then you can use it again in linux [16:31] amerioz, hm. I am really reluctant to walk you through fixing an ntfs partition, I have little to no experience there and fear I could destroy your data thru ignorance [16:31] and another question is, when I am not using onboard video, ubuntu won't even load [16:31] hey I use a magnavox 19in hdtv as a monitor.. everytime I log into ubuntu it is off center and I have to go into menu to auto pic setup.. anyway to get ubuntu to always use the right settings or something? [16:32] nickrud: let me restart maybe it will work [16:32] amerioz, I would suggest asking for help, saying something about unable to mount ntfs partition because it's in use, and use that pastbin link in the post [16:32] anyone help with a motorola q sprint cell phone? I need to take pics and vids off the phone via usb cable and ubuntu wont open it up any help? [16:32] so, when switching between windows and ubuntu, I have to physically switch where my monitor is plugged in [16:32] hello,where can i find the logs of the mount for ntfs3g? [16:33] Dan_, if you don't use the onboard at all, try disabling it in bios [16:33] nichrud, if I do that, Ubuntu freezes on startup [16:33] I have Xubuntu 7.10, I'm new to linux, When i click Applications > Accesories > Terminal, The computer restarts, Can someone help me with this?

[16:38] amerio, same problem then, I'm sure. try that mount command again in a terminal [16:38] uniqoder: yep [16:38] nickrud: you got anything for the wireless malfunction too? [16:38] Dr_willis, what do you think is wrong with my terminal ? [16:38] nickrud: how would windows fix it? [16:38] m3gach33zy: open a terminal and type tail -f /etc/log/syslog [16:38] uniqoder: [16:39] tail: cannot open `/etc/log/syslog' for reading: No such file or directory [16:39] tail: no files remaining [16:39] Dan_, heh. I can't believe I'm doing hardware here, and wireless is sooo far over my head. I used the restricted driver for my bcm43xx and it worked, and I gave thanks to the ubuntu gods :) [16:39] m3gach33zy: tail -f /var/log/syslog [16:39] uniqoder: okay got a big nice list of wow here lol [16:39] KindOne, if you can get an xterm going you could try typing in 'gnome-terminal' and see if it still crashes [16:39] ok [16:40] amerio, I don't know, I was serious about not knowing much about ntfs [16:40] nickrud: but it's not like it's not "working". It see's my networks, it just won't connect. [16:40] nickrud: as soon as its connected 2 windows then reconnect it to linux it will work? [16:40] m3gach33zy: good plug in the phone [16:40] Dan_, same thing on the software end. [16:41] amerio, I'd follow the instructions the mount command gave [16:41] amerio, I'm a slave to documentation, I figure the software writers normally know what they are doing === ForeverZero is now known as sea4ever [16:42] hello [16:42] uniqoder: sorry lost connection [16:42] uniqoder: the command i last typed in gave me a big list of dates times and stuff that has happened [16:42] hi, my broadcom wireless card won't connect to a WPA network on Gutsy [16:42] m3gach33zy: i found a tutorial for you: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/11637.html [16:42] Can anyone help me setup a samba server?

In addition, poweroff and reboot do not work (same with init 0). The [17:42] zerak: lets take one problem at a time ok? :} [17:43] zerak-> isnt it fun? reading some tutorials, trying things out.. [17:43] anyone else use screem xhtml editor? I am curious if they have the same file system viewer bug (ctrl-f4 to see the file viewer but by default it shows) [17:43] how do I change my network MAC code? [17:43] bazhang: ok... [17:43] kazim59 can you see your wireless network? [17:43] I need to backup a HUGE partition to my external hard drive, but the external drive is VFAT and doesnt support large files. Can I split them, how? [17:43] quittt: it is hardwired into the hardware AFAIK unless you are using a specific card which can have it chanegd (for simulation mode, or a software NIC ) [17:43] zerak: why not read that link I gave you first? then we will have some common ground and you can ask more informed questions :} [17:43] kazim59-> its okay to have a wireless nic name with eth1 [17:43] good day everyone. i was wondering if there is a way to move a running script in a cli to a screen session without stopping it. [17:44] Konam: yes... iwlist eth1 scanning gives me details about that network! [17:44] quittt: spoof a MAC address? that is not really an ubuntu question... [17:44] Andeh-> man csplit [17:44] Andeh it's not needed, just install ntfs support, or format the entire disk to ext3 ;) [17:44] what does moodbar do? [17:45] bazhang: If only I understand what it meant, I only know windows... [17:45] lots of questions flying by here. Is there a protocol for asking a question/getting it answered? [17:45] quittt-> its not too difficult really, you use iproute2 tools ip command [17:45] Konam: How would installing NTFS support help? The external hard disk is full of stuff and formated as FAT [17:45] kazim59 I mean, can you see you network listed through network-manager? [17:45] white_eagle: are you in proximity of a prominent search engine? :} [17:45] using flash on gutsy. my flash vido and audio are out of sync in firefox. any ideas? [17:45] bazhang: oh, yeah, googl [17:45] bulmer: The problem is I dont have anwhere to put the file before copying it onto my external hard disk. [17:45] zerak: thus the need to read a bit first :} [17:45] bulmer: I would need to put it directly on there, except I cant [17:46] Andeh linux support vfat, AND the 4GB limit is just to ONE file, not one entire partition as you're saying [17:46] Andeh-> thats why backing up files is a major effort, one needs to plan for it..resources must be reserve and such [17:46] !find ntfs [17:46] Found: libntfs-3g-dev, libntfs-3g12, libntfs-dev, libntfs9, ntfs-3g (and 4 others) [17:46] Konam: Hmm. Can I pipe dd into csplit? [17:47] Andeh-> thats why sys admin gets treated with respect, companies will lose massive data if back up is not done properly and managed [17:47] Konam: can't find this network manager [17:47] so does anyone know why my flash would be out of sybc? [17:47] **sync [17:47] Yeah, but I need to have all this stuff off the laptop before tomorrow so I can give it as a present [17:47] zerak: you looking for that link? [17:47] Hi... how can I install the restricted nvidia driver from the terminal? [17:47] bazhang: yes [17:47] So, does anyone know anything I can do? [17:47] kazim59-> what are you trying to do? [17:48] Andeh-> i suggest getting an external drive .. [17:48] bulmer: connect my laptop to wifi network and use the internet. [17:48] bulmer: The drive IS AN EXTERNAL DRIVE. [17:49] kazim59-> you can detect the AP essid? [17:49] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions zerak [17:49] Andeh-> as big as the one inside the laptop? [17:49] Andeh: you may have to format it to a different file system. [17:49] timrit: Oh. This sucks. [17:49] anyone know why I cannot reboot/power off my ubuntu install and why local terminal input doesn't work? [17:50] Maybe I can just copy the files themselves over [17:50] That would suck, and take ages, but better than nothing. [17:50] anyone know where there is some info on gtk theming? [17:50] I am trying to copy my windows partiton over [17:50] bulmer: I know the ESSID. I [17:50] Andeh-> besides, you only need to backup user data and should not backup system files.. [17:50] bulmer: there's a password too .. that I know. [17:51] bulmer: Yes, but we're dealing with Windows here. Totally different issue. [17:51] kevin12345, we know exactly as much as you do [17:51] On linux I just copied over my home dir, but windows... noo... [17:51] kevin12345, rather, we know exactly as much as you've told us [17:51] kazim59-> has it associate to it yet? try without the encrypted version first, ie make the AP open at first [17:51] bulmer: So, you're saying I should just copy over "Documents and Settings"? [17:51] Andeh: dont do a FS backup then === Infinito_ is now known as Infinito [17:51] Andeh: file copy isnt that much slower =) [17:51] Andeh yes, only important settings and user data [17:51] hello, my wifi router should be a 108 mbits but iwconfig says it's going at 54. what am I supposed to do? [17:52] Andeh: Doesn't windows have a backup utility? Why not use that? [17:52] mavi-: Yeah... should I just guess that I don't have ANYTHING important stored outside of there? [17:52] Noorulislaam: thanks for the response. if you were running into this problem, what info would you try to get in order to solve it? === Infinito is now known as Infinito_ [17:52] odd-rationale: Because the windows I have installed is so ****ed up it takes 27 minutes to boot up, literally. [17:52] bulmer: no avail.. it just doesn't associate! [17:52] MarcoPau: you need some crappy windows drivers to run at over 54mb [17:52] Andeh: if you dont care about the windows settings and stuff then the docs and settings is all you need [17:52] mavi-: Ah. Good then. [17:52] heya... i've got edubuntu gutsy installed, and sometimes an app "greys out" on me - i.e. the window goes grey and freezes. what's that about? seems to happen with firefox, media players, etc... [17:52] Andeh: that includes desktop / my docs and those [17:52] Yeah [17:52] Andeh: I see... [17:52] But knowing me, i have crap stored in all sorts of places [17:53] nivis: already using ndiswrapper for this usb antenna [17:53] I can also see some ipw2200 errors talking about my card. [17:53] I just wanted to be sure before formatting [17:53] windows doesn't support gigabit ethernet? [17:53] OK. Another problem: I cannot run sudo apt-file update. It claims that I am missing a .gz file, can I download that anywhere? [17:54] My documents and settings folder seems to be huge === NoorIslam is now known as NoorulIslaam [17:54] If I remember its something like 10 GB [17:54] The other 20 GB must be software then... [17:55] MarcoPau: i'd just stick with 54mb anything obove that is just compressed anyway [17:55] hi, i was transferring a whole bunch of stuff from my computer to my ipod classic 160gb, as regular files, because i need to transfer them to another computer. in the middle of this, it froze, and so i had to kill nautilus after waiting about five minutes for it to become responsive, which it never did. Afterwards, i ejected the ipod safely, upon which it crashed, attempted to reboot itself, and now it won't turn on at all. Wh [17:55] at happened, and how do i fix it?

I have an Ubuntu Gutsy server install on my laptop and cannot get terminal input to work from the local keyboard. The only access that I can get to the OS is through SSH/Samba/Apache/other services. In addition (and this may be related or unrelated) reboot/init 6 and poweroff/init 0 seem to put the OS into runlevel 0 (services do shutdown) but it never actually reboots or powers off.

[18:02] KindOne: or just double click it and drag contents to a folder and read readme or install text file [18:02] erisco: better sortof. requires more work for client comp but it compresses smaller i believe [18:02] why can they just make .exe files .... [18:03] KindOne: getdeb.net [18:03] butcherbird, any idea on how I can only archive files under 20MB?

[18:57] My username is kavok, I enter that and my password [18:57] hacknslash: how do i check if the driver that i have for ATI covers opengl? [18:57] Casey, right click on a folder and chose share folder [18:57] SunmanXII, therefore i think its driver related [18:57] prompt comes back up as C-LAPTOP\kavok with my password still entered [18:57] but nothing happens [18:57] Kavok1: you need to use smbadduser [18:58] and smbpasswd [18:58] to add smb-users [18:58] nickrud: then how do i *start* it ? [18:58] is the php command shell command_exec() ?? [18:58] numpy: one of them [18:58] or shell_exec ? [18:58] mavi-: What?

Sorry I can't tell you more [18:58] hacknslash: yea, so how do i check if its the right one [18:58] Kavok1: you are trying to use your system user, you need a special samba-user to get that working, or set the default samba user as a system user [18:59] Kavok1: its in the settings [18:59] yes [18:59] SunmanXII, do you also have video 4 linux === fsckr_ is now known as fsckr [18:59] nickrud: interesting it anaylzes running apps that wake processor and suggests what to do [19:00] ???

[19:00] mavi-: what settings? where? lol [19:01] Kavok1: in the settings->admin menu [19:01] Kavok1: the main menu/gnome menu that is [19:01] awesome thanks and also how do you get it to do that in the chat? to turn red and all? lol [19:01] mavi-: ? You mean System->Admin ? then what?

[19:03] hacknslash: yes, i did. i may have screwed up there. [19:03] ethernet question for an ubuntu wizard [19:03] KiD_ChAoS ohhh ok so just copy and paste a name at the start and it will turn red?

[19:03] ah ok thanks [19:03] casey__: type kid then hit tab [19:04] casey__, yes it just did it for me, but the easiest way for you to do that is to begin typing the name and then hit the TAB key and it will auto complete [19:04] is there a way to ssh into a computer that is booted from the LiveCD? [19:04] KiD_ChAoS, awesome thanks [19:04] casey__, no problem [19:04] WHere do I set this samba user stuff [19:04] SunmanXII, dont get an offer like that every day, however, i think we may need someone with expert skills in this area...

I tried in Keyboard Shortcuts, but I don't see how to set a custom application to start that isn't already in the list [20:15] kc5goi, it should not be [20:15] Still on Dapper. I did the apt-get update, then apt-get upgrade -s. Got no complaints so I ran upgrade [20:15] crimsun: It WORKED :D. thanks for the clarification.. lmao I'd have been looking for a long time for the source to compile a script... heh [20:15] kc5goi: I see feisty repos in your dapper sources list...

[20:18] no argument there but I do not remember why I did it. [20:18] kc5goi: You might want to rem out thouse feisty repos... and perhaps reinstall that app... [20:18] wols: networking is automatic. All you have to do is turn sharing on to the individual directories. Just as you would in Windows. No config file changes needed to be made. [20:18] I just commented them out. This system is in a VM so I can test the VM before I try the production box. [20:19] I am kicking myself for not backing up the VM before I did the upgrade. [20:19] ompaul: Hi... I need to run..

[20:40] at least nothing relevant... [20:41] Is there anyone who could be kind enough to help me here? [20:41] barry: what should i change it to? [20:41] Darknature, the soundcard can use oss or alsa drivers perhaps changing these may help [20:41] Darknature: download http://trilug.org/~crimsun/alsa-info.sh and run it in a Terminal via bash [20:41] k thx [20:41] wait nvm [20:42] neopsych1: i don't think flv is compatible with -ar 48000. try 44100 or omit it. the default might be 44100 anyway. [20:42] Thanks BarrryToeman. [20:42] That was it.. it needed to be 44100 ;-) [20:43] Hello all, I'm getting frustrated with network manager.

[20:43] readme: i dont know howto change in the gui but gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces [20:44] neopsych1: that is the base command then from which you improve. for example it will encode audio to 64 kb/s by default. you can see other default settings when it is encoding. it will tell you. [20:44] thanks [20:45] [20:45] readme, you can remove a connection from network manager by finding it by running gconf-editor , and looking under system/networking/wireless/networks/ , and then running gconftool --unset-recursive /system/networking/wireless/networks/ [20:45] did anyone have problems with hidden APs and wpa_supplicant? I got a intel 3945 card. I installed iwlwifi driver, Im running wpa_supplicant, but it cannot connect to hidden APs! Please help me! [20:46] vxworks: does sudo iwconfig wifi0 essid whatevername; sudo dhclient <-- not work? [20:46] vxworks: using wpa_supplicant directly (and not network-manager)? [20:46] oh wpa nm [20:46] readme, sorry, that switch was --recursive-unset [20:47] crimsun wpa_supplicant directly [20:48] Hey guys, === pras__ is now known as SR71-Blackbird1 [20:50] Everytime i go to a website that uses the adobe flash player. it prompts me to install it and that says that i already have it installed but the plug isnt working anyway. [20:50] sounds fun. [20:50] vxworks: did you configure /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf correctly? [20:51] barrytoeman: when trying to encode mp4 to flv it gives an error containing.. libfaad.so.0 [20:51] BarryToeman: rror while opening codec for input stream #0.1 === SR71-Blackbird1 is now known as SR71-Blackbird [20:51] rror while opening codec for input stream #0.1 [20:51] rror while opening codec for input stream #0.1 [20:52] neopsych1: did you install ffmpeg from synaptic? [20:52] neopsych1: or did you compile it? [20:52] yeah.. i got the unofficial version [20:52] orionr: known issue [20:52] ER.. i think .. tried to compile it .. but that was a mission .. so at the moment it can encode AVI to FLV === j_ack_ is now known as j_ack [20:53] But i know flv doesnt come in ubuntu by defaault [20:53] default [20:53] so... is there any way to fix the error? [20:53] orionr: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173890 [20:54] orionr: it's due to Adobe updating their Adobe flash plugin, and thus breaking the MD5 sum check in the flashplugin-nonfree package [20:54] neopsych1: get ffmpeg from the medibuntu repository: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#head-7486ed038a9becc1dff10a24cc07a38a00d70e9f === Neskaya is now known as Hugglehug-GONE [20:54] BarryToeman: Im pretty suer thats where i got it from [20:54] scguy: i installed it from the adobe site and it worked so idk [20:54] I can't get a Java Baesd game too load, I get a "applet Failed" message ....

[20:55] i mean 111gb [20:55] i have 09823048023480234gb [20:55] neopsych1: check in synaptic to see if you're using the Ubuntu universe version of ffmpeg or the medibuntu one. [20:55] hi ubuntuusers, after installation of a ati driver i got a big problem with my mouse, it doesnt work correktly [20:55] ok [20:55] yup [20:55] theres a bunch of medibuntu packages there === Obsidian is now known as KindOne [20:57] does sb know about my problem [20:57] Scotland1314: I might be dated but i've always tried to following the x3 or x4 rule [20:57] neopsych1: what is the exact error it gives you? if it is a long message use pastebin and then give me the link [20:57] Scotland1314: meaning x3 or x4 your physical memory should be your swap size [20:58] Scotland1314, that's fine, but you probably don't need to go over 2gb for swap (unless you're old school, like kyu_flux_ :) [20:58] I'm Having trouble getting RuneScape too load, I've got java's installed... but I still cant play .... [20:58] Scotland1314, maybe lvm is the way to go, save some space for expansion later on [20:58] nickrud, lvm? [20:59] nickrud: exactly - right now it's 2 GB physical used, 20 MB / 8 GB swap used [20:59] hacknslash,lvm [20:59] ? [20:59] Scotland1314, logical volume management [20:59] i just want the / a seperate partition so i can upgrade without damaging anything [20:59] just installed 7.10 onto my wifes pc, and she clicked a keyboard button by accident and now the colors are basically inverted [20:59] BarryToeman: no worries.. i searched for libfaad on synaptic and installed the codec seems to be working ;-) thanks [20:59] blue is red red is blue [21:00] ?? [21:00] Excuse me, but how exactly do you get a debian menu going properly in Openbox on Gutsy? [21:00] Scotland1314, they are virtual partitions and can be resized on the fly [21:00] how to install ubuntu like system to USB key, from within running (hard drive) ubutnu? But to usb key I want to install ubutntu 32 bit (or debian), while I run 64 bit ubuntu [21:00] can somebody tell me what is the current kernel version included in ubuntu 7.10 ? [21:01] irssi is hard to learn [21:01] neopsych1: good. if you want to quickly test the encode isntead of waiting you can try adding "-vframes x" with x being the number of frames to encode. [21:01] neopsych1 check the monitor connection [21:01] How can I disable EDID detection in X? [21:01] BarryToeman: wondering though.. where is it putting the output file??!~ [21:01] Fezzler; nah, read on their website, check out forums [21:01] neopsych1: it is outputting to your current directory. [21:01] histro type uname -r an now you got it [21:01] hacknslash, am not so sure about logical partitions and stuff :P i can use the alternative cd to install ubuntu and get my partitions mounted and stuff but apart from that am really not far enough into linux [21:01] :P [21:02] Scotland1314, fair enough [21:02] Hristo: yes [21:02] neopsych1: you could specifiy it with /folder/folder/output.flv [21:02] has anyone here had any problem with firefox crashing while using the adobe flash plug and perhaps running compiz-fusion [21:02] Hmm [21:02] Hristo: on 64 bit, it is 2.6.22-14-generic [21:02] LimCore, Thanks! [21:03] It doesnt seem to show in current directory??>? will it only show up once encoding finnished? [21:03] Hristo: n/p but for 32 bit it migt be different btw [21:03] Ahoy there folks [21:03] ive been trying too google my issue but not finding anything [21:03] i could use some help please [21:03] LimCore, I supposed just that, thanks [21:03] :> [21:03] prairiechic_: whats the problem? [21:03] Is it possible to dual-boot Ubuntu Gutsy with Windows.. *shudders* Media Center Edition [21:03] hacknslash, i might try the config i was thinking of in vmware [21:03] wow, kyu_flux_ I never come close to that [21:03] my wife hit a button? on the newly installed 7.10 and now all the colors are basically inverted [21:03] just to see if it will work [21:03] JordanC-Dynamics: yep [21:03] JordanC-Dynamics: of course [21:03] red is blue blue is red [21:03] neopsych1: it should show up while encoding. [21:04] hmm [21:04] i dont know what she did or how to chagne it back, i tried to se t human theme but its blue [21:04] nothing there [21:04] But theres definately something happening. [21:04] Viper550, install menu & menu-xdg [21:04] Is it as easy as Fedora 7 ? [21:04] :P [21:04] nickrud: any suggestions on what to look at? I know firefox is a beast sometimes but it's only about 200 megs right now [21:04] neopsych1: then wait for encoding to finish and look. [21:04] Okay... [21:04] Man I hate mIRC.. it's awful [21:04] it so is JordanC-Dynamics [21:05] I love mIRC.... [21:05] Man, it sucks [21:05] Anyone here use irssi instead of Gaim/Pidgin? [21:05] Scotland1314, good idea, if its a modern pc, you will find swap space hardly used, if the pc is configured correctly, unless you are really number crunching [21:05] Hi... i've got an archive being created by using the right click method in nautilus, and its taking _ages_... approx 2000 files, total approx 100MB... any ideas why? [21:05] I use Konversation, usually [21:05] I also thought that the new ubuntu (gutsy) tried to prefetch... [21:05] neopsych1: what framerate is it encoding at? it will list fps. i'm just curious [21:05] is another disc drive needed to backup data from within ubuntu live cd because I can't eject the live cd to burn or can i enable a ramdisk? [21:05] Fezzler: most more seasoned users id say [21:05] right, so I'm installing a game through wine... as root [21:05] kyu_flux_, not really, but it really sounds like you've got a memory leak somewhere. [21:05] not sure [21:06] is this right ot output to seperate folder? [21:06] http://imageprocessinglab.com/verizon.mp3 [21:06] ffmpeg -i /home/andrew/Desktop/files/video/Freedom_Downtime.mp4 -s 320x240 -b 200k -ar 44100 /home/andrew/Desktop/files/video/output/output.flv [21:06] ????/ [21:06] red is blue, blue is red, white is black, black is white [21:07] i really dont know what she did or how to fix this [21:07] Kazuya_: i thought there was an option at boot to load to memory or somesuch if ya got 512MB of course that wont work [21:07] nickrud: I guess I have a few hours of hunting to do. =) [21:07] fresh install just today [21:07] and it was fine [21:07] she was using openoffice [21:07] kyu_flux_, that's the spirit ! [21:07] prairiechic_: does it show up fine for another user? [21:07] only user on the system [21:08] neopsych1: forget all of those folders. just navigate to your source vid in terminal and then try ffmpeg. it will simplify things. also use -vframes to test your encode before doing the whole thing === miip_ is now known as miip [21:08] hej [21:08] prairiechic_: worst case you rm -fr .g* dirs in her home directory if its a config issue but that is like taking a sledgehammer to kill a butterfly [21:08] hej [21:08] [21:09] can someone help my get RuneScape to work on my xubunto .... I'v Installed some java's but it still wont load .... [21:09] nickrud: just for comparison, can you give me your total/used/buffers+cache size (free)?

Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre [21:11] k, I installed both [21:12] thanks everyone that answered me for your help..and a merry xmas if you believe in it :P [21:12] Anyone know the safest way to get around the vista MBR issues when installing Ubuntu dual-boot? [21:13] kyu_flux_, a sec I'm at work, coming and going (party and working, makes it fun) [21:13] nickrud: no worries [21:13] Hammer89: what are the issues exactly? [21:13] Viper550, you should see them, you may have to log out and back in [21:13] nm, got it. needed to run update-menus, then it came [21:13] Hammer89: is it not allowing you to overwrite it? [21:14] one question, where do i cahnge background color that is during the splash screen? [21:14] numpy: I'm not 100% sure myself... I just heard there were some issues... and I've read horror stories (vista not booting after installation, etc) [21:14] ultraz: do sudo gedit /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default [21:14] 1932892 , 1501448 , 840140, 1092752 [21:14] ultraz: go through system/administration/login window [21:15] pvl1: i did change to black there but i get still that native ubuntu color during the splash screen [21:15] numpy: it's got something to do with MS going over to some new Boot Configuration Database [21:15] ultraz: In that file you will find a hex code like #dab082. Change that to whatever #hex you want. [21:15] Viper550, hm, update-menus should be run when the packages were installed [21:15] Hammer89: the only thing I know is that with older versions of Grub.. there were issues but if your Fiesty and above you will be fine [21:15] Odd-rationale: ok will try that [21:15] numpy: Hmmm... okay [21:16] I just installed Gutsy x64 and flash doesn't seem to be working. I went to videos.google.com and was prompted to install flash, it looks like it installed but every time the page reloads it says the pluggin is missing. Do I have to do something special to make this work? [21:16] numpy: should I use Vista to modify my partition? (I read that there were NTFS compatibility issues using gparted) [21:16] kyu_flux_, the numbers above were for you, forgot the nick [21:16] !flash | altru1 [21:16] is there anyway to get the current screen orientation, to use with xrandr? [21:16] altru1: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [21:16] 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. [21:16] hammer89: from my experience gparted does fine with NTFS [21:16] Hey - just upgraded to gutsy and getting a ton of HAL errors.... any common solutions? [21:16] pvl1: with vista? [21:16] Hammer89: if you want, though the latest GPartEd should do fine with NTFS, but either way, backup! [21:17] scguy318: Oh... okay... maybe I'm getting old info [21:17] Hammer89: not with vista but NTFS is NTFS eitherway. did u google around about that? [21:17] Odd-rationale, thanks [21:17] nickrud: ahh, not too far off from mine I suppose [21:17] Hammer89: I'd read something about Vista using some new NTFS version, or something [21:17] Hammer89: indeed you should NO version of (g)arted works that I have used thsu far :- / [21:17] BarryToeman: that sounds more advanced.. but .. it seems to work if i specify the directory to output to being different from the same directory as source.. so now i can see the file [21:17] *pvl1: [21:17] Atru1: NP. I really don't know why it hasnt been fixed yet... [21:17] hi guys.. any one know how to set up with wobbly windows ? [21:17] BarryToeman: is there any way to do a 2pass encoding?

[22:11] hey, I was just wondering why people were using AWN instead of just using the integrated Ubuntu panel [22:12] gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:12] Jack_Sparrow: I am using xfce [22:12] rsvampire: um..AWN is 3-D ish and prettier..more mac like [22:12] other than it being prettier I don't really see anything more useful about it [22:12] twiztr: how to add the entry? It's pretty well documented in grub's manual. [22:12] I have a question, what is the difference, if any, between using sudo apt-get and sudo aptitude and if there is a difference which is better for an inexperienced Ubuntu-user to use? [22:12] Bonzodog: yea I figured... [22:12] rsvampire: it's just Eye candy..people like eye candy [22:12] rsvampire: it's just for people who like MacOSX docker [22:13] thedonvaughn There is an example of a windows startup in there [22:13] personally, i hate panels of any sort [22:13] Jack_Sparrow: wrong person, i know how to edit grub just fine. [22:13] * Bonzodog uses Openbox [22:13] il12: I believe aptitude has a better uninstaller vs apt-get... at least it's more simple [22:13] Bonzodog: The emulator was installed over Autopackage, where can I run it? Can you help? [22:13] np Time to leave and check on things here... Later people [22:14] rsvampire: alright... ty. [22:14] il12: aptitude will uninstall all the packages and libraries and apt-get won't unless you tell it to [22:14] DarkSpirit221: try running it from terminal [22:14] DarkSpirit221: you will probably need to manually add a menu entry once you know the command to start it [22:16] Bonzodog: A huge red "FAIL" appeared in the terminal.... I know I have to write package "name here" I think, I wrote package desmume and it doesn't work... [22:17] Is it normal when installing Compiz to have your terminal say that the packages are unused and will be uninstalled and list a bunch of things [22:17] ? === IL is now known as il12 [22:17] IL: yeah, this is normal just make sure you're not uninstalling something important [22:18] rsvampire: it might help if I knew what was considered important........ [22:18] the kernel for instance [22:18] can someone give me a unmount command for a msc mp3 player in amarok? Is it umount %d? [22:18] anybody here know if there are any plugins for thunderbird for blocking spam? [22:18] il12: well things like Ubuntu Desktop is a little important [22:18] Bonzodog: I have no idea of what to do now... If I only knew the running command... [22:18] DarkSpirit221: it should be $sudo autopackage desmume from the same directory where you downloaded the fiel to [22:18] what's the state of ATI drivers in Linux? [22:18] rsvampire: I could see that but it's in packages so I don't exactly know what ubuntu desktop would be labeled as. [22:18] remember, it needs sudo [22:19] ati support is pretty good now [22:19] a while back they Open sourced their drivers yes? ATI that is [22:19] Wine performance all kicking ass now? [22:19] So does that mean hd1,0 would be the first partition no the second drive? [22:19] in ubuntu what's the difference between runlevel 2 and 3 (seems 4 and 5 are the same as 3) [22:19] hey can someone help me with my booting problem? grub thinks its booting my os, but my os isn't booting so nothing happens [22:19] il12: well what packages are listed for uninstallation with compiz? [22:19] Bonzodog: Didn't work... [22:19] I can use the pastebin and send you what it says [22:20] DarkSpirit221: or are you having problems running the emulator itself [22:20] Bonzodog: Yes, that's it lol [22:20] duh [22:20] hrm [22:20] Bonzodog: That's what I said, I installed it but I can't run it now... [22:20] so if you type 'desmume' at the command prompt, what happens? [22:20] il12: ok that's fine... link me up [22:20] thedonvaughn: I tried looking over the documentation, but I want to clarify. Does that mean (hd1,0) is the first partition on the second hd? [22:21] twiztr: yes [22:21] twiztr: (hd1,0) is first partition on second drive [22:22] rsvampire: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49494/ [22:22] hi i have problem... i've just bought a TVtuner and i have problems with getting it work... i have AVer TV Hybrid+FM CardBus.

[23:36] that was good shit [23:36] nickrud: ty :) [23:36] ubotu isnt depressed [23:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about isnt depressed - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:36] !ot [23:36] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

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. [23:37] hum... [23:37] hm... [23:37] !fart [23:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about fart - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:37] lol [23:37] GHOST: just download the source from adobe.com.. it takes like 10sec to install, and works fine [23:37] IndyGunFreak ok dude ty :) [23:38] GHOST: it worked fine for me. [23:38] i was kinda lost [23:38] lmao.. nemesis exit quote is hilarious [23:38] lol"dont play with the bot"! [23:39] Hey, I have a dedicated box and was wondering if there was a way to setup xwindows and remote to it without physically being at the server? [23:39] Riotblade: X forwarding in SSH? [23:39] Riotblade, several ways to do it. [23:39] have any reference sites I can look at? [23:39] Riotblade, how are the 2 machines connected.. and what OS is on the client machine? [23:39] Riotblade: xwindows is a network protocol, so it's just a matter of allowing remote connections. [23:40] Riotblade, ssh -X remote.machine.ip then run the X program you want to see dislayed locally, is one way. [23:40] Dr_willis, the client program is running windows and it's connecting through WAN [23:41] Riotblade, you could use vnc, for a whole desktop. or xming, to get single X apps in their own windows - [23:41] Riotblade: You could use PuTTY, I guess [23:41] xming can also do a whole desktop in a window. [23:41] freenx is also a possible way to do it. [23:41] Okay, i'll try looking it up [23:41] thanks [23:41] I use xming mainly on my windowes box to get a few Linux apps to appear on it. [23:41] hyperb0lix: just putty is not enough, you need a xserver for windows too [23:41] plux: Oh duh, forgot :P [23:41] VNC is proberly the easiest way to do it. [23:42] xming is a free x server for windows. :) it has its own putty in its packages I belive. [23:42] Then tunnel VNC through SSH for security! [23:42] Riotblade, this is just a 2 machine lan? or in a school or somthing? [23:42] I can setup VNC fully through SSH right? [23:43] Riotblade: Sure === PhilKC is now known as Turducken [23:43] Riotblade look at NoMachine's NX server and client...much better than vnc and does ssh automatically [23:43] Dr_willis, I use the server to convert videos and it's a lot more convenient with a GUI [23:44] thor, thanks i'll take a look [23:44] Hi. [23:44] hi [23:44] hi [23:44] How do I install zlib in Ubuntu 7.10? [23:44] hi [23:44] Riotblade, if its just you on the whole lan. Proberly dont need to worry about ssh. [23:44] !find zlib [23:44] Found: libcompress-raw-zlib-perl, libio-compress-zlib-perl, libio-zlib-perl, libruby1.8, zlib1g (and 9 others) [23:44] wat is it? [23:45] Dr_willis, it's in WAN [23:45] ok [23:45] i'm halfway around the world [23:45] merry xmas [23:45] me too [23:45] O_o [23:45] yup :) [23:45] aren't we all? [23:45] lol [23:45] nicholas, zlib comes with ubuntu, you probably want the headers for compiling, zlib1g-dev [23:46] How do I get them? [23:47] nicholas: sudo aptitude install zlib1g-dev [23:47] nicholas, you can find them in synaptic, or see hyperb0lix above [23:47] I need help in reseting my root password. Can I do this with out reinstalling? Can I use the live CD to help me? [23:47] yep how? [23:47] mine too insecure [23:47] Anyone know a work-around to get flash working on 64bit? [23:48] Ward_: You could clear the hash after booting from a live CD, I think [23:48] Hi, I want a complete removal of wine, the 'complete removal' with synaptic seems not to be enough, some installed programs it thinks still exists and it as well can't actually mount another drives (currently NONE are mounted) [23:48] !flash64 | geekunit [23:48] geekunit: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [23:48] arash: sudo aptitude purge wine [23:48] how do I clear the hash? What is the hash? [23:48] arash sudo apt-get autoremove wine? [23:48] arash: aptitude removed orphaned dependencies, while Syn and apt-get do not [23:48] Ward_ it is possible to reset the root password...did you define one for the root user?

[23:52] arash hunt sry [23:52] arash: What I do is sudo aptitude purge wine && rm -rf ~/.wine [23:52] or autoremove [23:52] oh, didn't notice the && rm -rf part [23:52] arash: aptitude's purge takes care of config files for the most part, aside from the ones in ~ [23:53] ok [23:53] yea, but not the rm rf part [23:53] arash: CAREFUL [23:53] arash, part of the wisdom of apt package management is it never touches stuff in your home dir, you have to make changes there yourself [23:53] hum [23:53] Linux has a great community :) [23:53] yes [23:54] :) [23:54] Ok, so then sudo aptitude purge wine && rm -rf ~/.wine should work, since 'rm -rf ~/.wine' removes wine folder, (assuming i type in from the home folder) [23:54] Simple question [23:54] How do I get totem to play MP3s?

I know I'm not [23:54] with some mp3 codecs [23:54] Andeh, install ubuntu-restricted-extras [23:54] so I click the updates icon on the top right panel of gnome on gutsy to install the new mysql 5.0, this returned an error of course [23:55] Andeh: You could add Medibuntu's repo, too [23:55] It was suggested that I uninstall mysql from my system, and then install it again using https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/mysql.html [23:55] hrm, not quite right [23:55] sure enough, when I try and configure an admin password, I get problems [23:55] 121 MB OF ADDITIONAL SPACE?! [23:55] O_O [23:55] I didn't know MP3 codecs were that big. [23:55] Andeh: I install the Fluendo one [23:55] Ah. it comes with java [23:55] :/ [23:55] Andeh, that's much more than just mp3 stuff :) [23:56] I thought as much :P] [23:56] hey how can i install libdvdcss(its abstent in my synaptic databse) [23:56] i gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 - Fluendo mp3 decoder GStreamer plugin [23:56] Hey guys how can I figure out the device name of a usb to serial convertor?

[23:56] GHOST: I add Medibuntu's repo [23:56] * nickrud doesn't trust medibuntu that far [23:56] hyperbolix wats tat?

[23:57] Dr_willis: Yeah [23:57] Thor: No. Just one [23:57] I just prefer packages, since it's handier [23:57] TANK YOU [23:57] Dr_willis, if you mean the libdvdread3 one, it installs 1.2.5 , when medibuntu has 1.2.9 [23:58] how does one go about the ata1.00 exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen [23:58] ???

[23:58] Dr_willis, and I've seen no diff, but ... [23:59] nickrud, i havent either. :) if one can read the dvd.. what can the other do thats so much better? Perhaps just bug fix's [23:59] Ward_ http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49501/ [23:59] Dr_willis, I read the changelog, and the changes were pretty trivial [23:59] nicholas, then welcome to the bright side :)
