[01:40] verb3k, i already have the partition but the windows installation crashes at the hardware recognition [01:40] tyrone, after that you use the ubuntu LiveCD to install GRUB again [01:40] Any one have the pakage of kiba-dock .deb????

[01:46] Repartitioning (my first question on IRC): I want to change my swap partition from one drive to another. I've created the new partition, but how do I tell Ubuntu to use the new partition. My guess is that it is still using the old partition. [01:47] who know a software same Frontpage in windows but for Ubuntu Linux? [01:47] which package is responsible for crash detection in gnome/ubuntu.. eg, what makes the window fade to black, and the force quit (non responsive task) dialog to be displayed? [01:47] Chuck- I am pretty sure it will use any and all swap partitions found on startup. Perhaps someone else can tell you how to check and make sure though..... [01:48] right now i'm preparing my partions, what should the mount point be called? [01:48] kinglet | !find screem [01:48] should it be / [01:48] or /boot or /home [01:48] i'm sure you guys have seen this before - disable OSD for gnome volume control?

[01:48] GMoo you need to change your mount point [01:49] but i'm not sure what do you need to change it to, that's my question [01:49] can anyone think of why xchat would be totally maximized (as in covers both bottom and top toolbars and title bar is inaccessible) and commands for window control wouldn't work?

The problem is that the max resolution for the lcd tv is around 1280x768, and im normally using 1440x900 for my computer screen. Is there a way to have different resolutions for different mirrored screens? [01:52] what should the main mount point be called? [01:53] /boot or /home [01:53] crdlb: thanks for the help [01:53] shameless: compiz supports setting a toggle fullscreen key (in the extra wm actions plugin), which I use to fix it [01:53] kinglet - i like it yes. [01:53] i'm dual booting if it makes any difference [01:53] When im trying to have side by side view, Ubuntu just gets messed up. [01:53] bastid_raZor is that in the repositories, and is it a commandline tool ? [01:53] ltcolonel: tnQ so much dude [01:53] kinglet - welcome [01:53] Glam:: / is the file system /home is your files and /swap is swap [01:53] can anyone help me with mounting a fakeraid array of drives. i need fakeraid because there is already data on the drive that i want to be able to access from a former windows install and i'm having trouble mounting them [01:53] ok [01:54] tim167:: it is an app that you have to download. is not in the repo's .. and yes it is a CL tool [01:54] Anyone have any ideas of what might be going on with my problem mentioned in the followling forums post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=649929 [01:54] ltcolonel, nothing... I also tried restarting udev and hal, but nothing happens... not even a message in dmesg, when I insert my memory stick... It's working under windows though, so no hardware malfunction [01:54] bastid_raZor, cool I'm gonna check it out, thanks [01:55] tim167:: i use it on occasion. works very well for me. [01:55] akos- try re-starting X, it should auto-mount usb devices.

[01:56] tim167: personally, i like acidrip [01:56] crdlb: found it, thanks again [01:56] i find it better/easier to use than dvdrip [01:56] tim167:: i've never used dvd-rip.. i' [01:56] ltcolonel, nope [01:57] tim167:: i've heard good tings about acidrip also.. may want to toy around with either or [01:57] LHoT: system -> preferences -> main menu [01:57] IndyGunFreak, ah another one to try then, nice, the freedom of choice :) [01:57] !k9copy [01:57] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [01:57] akos- odd, last resort, reboot the box. [01:57] thanks [01:57] ltcolonel, okay, but shouldn't dmesg display some msgs on card insertion? [01:58] hey guys doees anyone know whether theres a channel that discusses things about SuSE linux? [01:58] How can I find info on my serial ports? If USB is ttyUSB0, what would Com1 be called? [01:58] workTime for me. [01:58] Fezzler: ttys0 [01:58] akos my guess would be problem with the usb port itself in linux if dmesg isn't showing anything when you plug into it [01:58] ubuntu, it's a built-in reader [01:58] Fezzler: Find the modem by going to a terminal and typing dmesg | grep ttyS [01:58] akos: what you trying to do? [01:59] ubuntu, like in a laptop [01:59] akos i see [01:59] Fezzler, trying to get my ricoh card reader to woek [01:59] Fezzler, *work [01:59] i got an error when i tried to make a new partition [01:59] mkfs.ext3/dev/sda4 === ubuntu is now known as brian_ === brian_ is now known as brian__ [01:59] also, it *IS* working under windows, so it must be some software not correctly configured / instlalled [01:59] Glam, sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda4 [02:00] i type that in the terminal right? [02:00] Glam, of course thats just formatting the partition, the partition needs to already exist [02:00] yes in the terminal [02:00] ooh [02:00] hi all [02:00] happy holidays egc [02:00] what are the special keys on a laptop keyboard called? i.e., vol up, vol down, mute [02:01] multimedia keys i spose [02:01] or special keys [02:01] it says command not found [02:01] MasterShrek: thx, same to you! [02:01] I've XP & Ubuntu. I'd like to install Nexenta (OpenSolaris). Can I install it without disturbing XP/Ubuntu. I'm worried as I'll be resizing the existing partitions. [02:01] do you know what is responsible for providing their functionality? [02:01] like what software? [02:02] and now i got an exclamation point with a clock and a black swuare in gparted [02:02] *square [02:02] i'm assuming that's not a good sign [02:02] Glam: I prefer the stand alone gparted to the gparted in the ubuntu livecd [02:03] "sudo dmraid -ay" reports "RAID st "sil_aeabbjafcbae" already active but gparted doesn't see it... just the individual drives... any suggestions? [02:03] !gparted [02:03] GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [02:03] sat_, i've done so without problem. but i installed solaris express [02:03] brian__, why do you need gparted to see the raid? [02:03] opensolaris is really cool too [02:03] i doubt its suppose to anyways [02:03] i am trying to setup my Ubuntu server at home..how do i obtain the ip address? [02:03] howdy people> i am on my desktop and i type ls. i see "music" but i cannot go 'cd music' [02:03] what is the problem ? [02:03] gparted doesn't seem to work right in Gutsy.. works fine on my laptop w/ feisty, but won't work on the PC [02:03] i usje the live CD... [02:03] well i want to mount the array... but i dont know what fs is on them [02:04] i don't remember [02:04] it was working before, then i tried to make a swap but i already had 4 main things [02:04] renegade420, run ifconfig from the terminal it will tell you [02:04] brian__, did you format it? [02:04] MasterShrek i don't believe so [02:04] Glam: you can only have 4 primarty partitions, you need to create an extended and add logical partions in there [02:04] MasterShrek i did in windows [02:04] egc: cool. i'm trying Nexenta as it's similar to Ubuntu. so, resizing existing partitions won't affect Ubuntu/Xp, right? [02:05] brian__, then its probably ntfs, if not use vfat [02:05] sat_: There are always dangers working at the partition level. [02:05] but now the 4th partition has some kind of issue [02:05] sat_: well, you should back-up any important data before resizing a filesystem [02:05] ltcolonel, nope... [02:06] ping [02:06] Jack_Sparrow: ok. worst case, i'll reinstall everything. [02:06] sat_: but if you do so, you should be fine and able to recover in the event something goes wrong [02:06] howdy people> i am on my desktop and i type ls. i see "music" but i cannot go 'cd music' [02:06] howdy people> i am on my desktop and i type ls. i see "music" but i cannot go 'cd music' [02:06] howdy people> i am on my desktop and i type ls. i see "music" but i cannot go 'cd music' [02:06] sat_: Not to mention their installer properly recognizing the other os's and getting them into the grub or in some cases lilo menu [02:06] My graphics sudenly and randomly stopped functioning. Detailes are listed in: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=649929 . Ayone have any ideas? [02:06] mastershrek: both return mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/sil_aeabbjafcbae [02:06] !repeat > GMoo: [02:06] hrm i seem to get 127.0.0.1 [02:06] jack_sparrow / egc: ok [02:06] !repeate | GMoo: [02:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about repeate - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:06] sat_: fyi, opensolaris has a livecd now too [02:06] brian__, /dev/mapper/sil_aebbjafcbae? wtf is that? [02:07] you can try playing with it [02:07] brian__, the only raids ive encountered have been called /dev/mdXX [02:07] Jack_Sparrow: why don't you TELL ME my answer instead of asking me to not repeate myself. [02:07] youll probably need to use OSS drivers for sound either way [02:07] mastershrek my _FAKERaid_ array [02:07] egc: i tried live cd. but, i wanna try Nexenta (a distro of opensolaris). [02:07] GMoo: Because repeating is rude to the other users in the channel [02:07] /dev/mapper is dmraid (software assisted hardware raid) [02:07] oh fakeraid, never done one of them [02:07] SamsLembas: wierd, have you tried reconfiguring xorg.conf? [02:07] my friend who helped me with the server told me to port forward port 22 === talaren is now known as pteague [02:07] egc: Nexenta doesn't have live cd. [02:08] i wouldnt ever make a raid on a dual boot machine, sounds like trouble to me [02:08] anyone know how to use Wine? [02:08] yes [02:08] wine file.exe [02:08] im kind of a n00b at this im running a linksys router [02:08] egc: how was you experience with opensolaris [02:08] from the command line [02:08] !anyone | mwag [02:08] I want to have a partition for media like songs and movies, but I want to be able to access it both from Linux and XP. What kind of filesystem should it be? [02:08] mwag: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [02:08] MasterShrk know that now... but theres about 80gigs of MP3s on there.. its not dual boot anymore [02:08] renegade - are you trying to ssh from one machine to another behid your router? [02:08] Can anyone else phelp me on an issue (e.g. not working) with my Ricoh card reader? [02:08] MasterShrk i just don't want to lose all that music [02:08] Mwag: use "sudo apt-get install wine" to install it, and then "wine " followed by the path to the .exe file to run an app. [02:08] ping [02:08] Sir_Funk, ntfs will work [02:08] pong [02:08] thanks :) [02:09] thx [02:09] sat_: i liked it alot, i'll probably transition to it when it officially releases in april [02:09] although, some media codecs will be problematic [02:09] akos, my ricoh card reader doesnt work either [02:09] egc: okay, i'll try and share my experience later. hope you catch you on this forum. [02:09] MasterShrek: I have to agree, raid and dual boot is looking for trouble [02:09] mp3 is easy enough, but i didnt get dvd, mpeg, etc. yet [02:10] MasterShrek, but it was working before reinstalling 7.10 [02:10] im on solaris express developer edition right now [02:10] egc: did you install the restricted drivers ber the link [02:10] J_Laptop, when i tried to ssh like i did at my friends house it complained aobut port 22 [02:10] akos, i dunno what to tell you, i dont try it very often, every once in awhile, ive never had it work though [02:10] Jack_Sparrow, in opensolaris i dont that framework works the same [02:10] egc: Sorry, not for solaris [02:10] i don't remember though [02:10] jack_sparrow and MasterShrek I'm not dualbooting.. i'm trying to get the data off thats already on them. But it was put on there using windows. I am no longer using windows at all but i need to get the data back [02:11] ic brian__, and you are sure that is the device name of the raid? [02:11] MasterShrek, my other usb card reader doesn't work either === grogglr is now known as snausages === snausages is now known as snausages^ [02:11] thats what dmraid -ay returns [02:11] brian__: If you are trying to get data back from a raid array.... built with windows... ugh.. === ForeverZero is now known as sea4ever [02:11] Renegade - if both machines are behind the router, you won't be able to use the dyndns hostname [02:11] at least, most routers will be like that [02:12] is it possible (does anyone know) to save Virtual Machines (VMWare) over a samba share???? or is there a vmware irc channel?? [02:12] jack_sparrow might be out of luck huh? [02:12] brian__: I have not had any luck with doing it [02:12] good day, I installed Compiz on 6.06 LTS, it didn't run right so I uninstalled it through Synaptic. Now in the Gnome Desktop I have no upper window bars, the ones with the maximize minimize buttons, I cannot drag winows around the desktop, and all windows are stuck to the top right corner of the screen. Please, which files do I need to edit to get Gnome back to normal ? [02:12] http://sexyoffice.office-on-the.net/ [02:13] brian__: Which is one reason I avoid raid these days, not to mention the drives are so much faster than when I needed raid to get systems up to speed [02:13] jack_sparrow i raided them years ago with windows to make them one large drive to store my music collection on [02:14] Get_A_Fix: Did you install compiz with synaptic in Dapper [02:14] brian__: I have been there... and no I dont have any solutions [02:14] no, I followed something in the wiki, used apt get [02:14] egc: Can I install ubuntu apps on OpenSolaris. for example, skpye is availabe for Ubuntu. [02:15] sat_: i don't think solaris is debian based [02:15] yay, finally i got it installing [02:15] i have mplayer and a dvd. i try to play with mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /dev/cdrom1 and and i get: Couldn't open DVD device: /dev/cdrom1 [02:15] i know the dvd is inside the drive and that dvds work with it [02:15] after 4 hours [02:15] Jack_Sparrow: no, I followed something in the wiki, used apt get via Edgy backports [02:16] Get_A_Fix: It is a really bad idea to do that.. [02:16] sat_: there are many opensource apps you can install; check out blastwave.org [02:16] Get_A_Fix: why not just download and install gutsy? [02:16] hey i have a question: how do i mount something to music [02:16] Get_A_Fix: I would pull those repos out asap... and hope for the best. [02:16] sat_: also opensolaris comes with some, like pidgin, rhythmbox [02:16] Jack_Sparrow:no way to fix Gnome ? [02:17] brian__, reinstall windows, and backup the data on the raid maybe? then install ubuntu and make the raid in ubuntu, or do away with it if htats waht you want to do [02:17] hi guys, anyone's working on ltsp5?

[02:17] egc: i want skype due to video chat [02:17] Jack_Sparrow: I would pull them if I knew how, just remove them from the repo llist ? [02:17] Get_A_Fix: Changing repos to a different release or distro really really messes up a system.. sort of what automatix does.. more trouble to untangle that we can handle in this channel [02:18] Glam: depends on the video card.... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt, if it doesn't, just install, then set it up once installed. [02:18] oh ok [02:18] Get_A_Fix: sources.list or use the link to follow to restore the originals..

[02:22] can wget work with large isos? [02:22] Soskel: do you really wish to continue hosting that CD image? [02:22] how do i get my minimize, maximize and close (X) buttons back, they are missing when i open any window [02:22] thompa: wget works with everything. [02:22] MenZa: why not? [02:22] Jack_Sparrow: IndyGunFreak: Get_A_Fix: maybe its time to upgrade to a current version. - maybe he's right, I'll certainly try everything else first though, thanks people. [02:22] SamsLembas: well, you shouldn't need a live cd to reconfigure x [02:22] Soskel: well, and leave it public? [02:22] MenZa: yea === GMoo is now known as Hot_Girl [02:23] MenZa: im having it stop every 20g or so and have to restart with -c [02:23] Soskel: I suspect it'll take up quite a bit of bandwidth :) [02:23] psss bandwidth [02:23] thompa: that sounds like a dodgy internet connection, rather than a problem with wget. [02:23] But booting from a LiveCD will accomplish the same thing for troubleshooting as reconfiguring X, correct? [02:23] I have plenty to spare [02:23] okay boys [02:23] i need som ehelpo [02:23] i need som ehelp [02:23] i need some help [02:23] lol [02:23] do you need some help?

I hope Sun will look into the directions of its distros. It nees improvment. For example, look at the distro's of Ubuntu. It's clear vision for each of the distros. Currenlty, when the linux user looks at the distros of OpenSolaris, in my view, he/she might scratch the head. [02:26] yes, nexenta seems to be okay to download and try. but, in terms of community / support / fund, i don't think any distro is strong. [02:26] thompa: are you on a standard home computer?

Stop [02:32] dooglus: wget can resume with -c option also less junk [02:32] thompa: just my experience. I find the network connection in ubuntu drops out if you use it too much. [02:32] thompa: wget is cross platform. [02:32] i'm confused, right now i'm following instructions so ubuntu will work. the instructions say [02:32] buggeredfstab: do you mean the panel? [02:33] o You must edit the /etc/initramfs-tools/modules file; adding a line with the word: piix [02:33] -- you should do this with your favorite unix editor; or simply type the command: [02:33] echo piix >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules [02:33] dooglus: there has to be a reason for that [02:33] !compile | fabio_ (have you read this yet) :) [02:33] robdig: I think so. it's the bar on top of the windows with the _ [] X at the end [02:33] i have no clue what that means.

Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [02:33] thompa: yes, it's open source, free software. people can port it to any OS they like [02:33] what should i type in the terminal?

[02:36] dooglus: log into launchpad and look at the last updates [02:36] robdig: yeah [02:36] for some reason when I ran update manager after installing 7.10 my windows partitions were no longer being mounted [02:36] methice: no, just ubuntu support in this channel. [02:36] ikonia: I've tried, but it only shows their current status. [02:36] how do I add partitions to be mounted at boot time without manually editing fstab? [02:36] ikonia, just for free not money ;) [02:36] Guys, Go to http://www.ideastorm.com/ and vote for Ubuntu.. [02:36] dooglus: well this is my home box been running amd64 and good upgrades with ubuntu [02:36] dooglus: then that's the current status [02:36] methice: this is ubuntu support channel only.

[02:38] sat_: how about no, how about respect the channel guidelines and topics. This is ubuntu support releated questions only. [02:38] juano__: isn't there a gui somewhere to configure that? it looks like fstab discourages editing my hand === reconnect is now known as recon [02:38] !diskmounter | Niko-formerlyEag [02:38] I guess I'm too lazy to do it by hand right now [02:38] Niko-formerlyEag: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [02:38] dooglus: if your running something special you can try some custom kernel, for macbook eg [02:38] buggeredfstab: is gtk-window-decorator running?

[02:39] dooglus: or it could be an incompatible driver between your card and router [02:40] ikonia: I've tried lots of routers and they all fail the same, so I guess it's not a problem with the router [02:40] does it loss connection when you move around? he he [02:40] dooglus: I didn't say it was a problem with the router. [02:40] buggeredfstab: hmm, that should be ok. have you tried restarting X?

[02:45] dooglus: macbook is great on ubuntu btw [02:45] thompa: it runs, just hardly anything works quite right [02:45] mac_: follow Hot_Girl's conversation it may give you an idea.

[02:47] are there themes for epiphany so i can customize the buttons?

[02:48] thanks ikonia^^ [02:48] yep [02:48] mac_: have you edited smb.conf ? [02:48] nope [02:48] one sec, its insalling sambas now... you'll have to wait thanks ikonia [02:48] buggeredfstab: you can hit ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a console window...ctrl+alt+f7 to get back [02:48] let me see it [02:48] juano__: why does he have to do that [02:48] ikonia: well, if he can't connect to his windows box, i have to check to see what settings are inside smb.conf [02:49] Hot_Girl: you told me you had samba installed [02:49] juano__: why ? [02:49] i only have the other one installed -- oops [02:49] i just got a new lcd monitor widescreen... it looks like crap because it is still using the old monitor info. how do i go about fixing htat? [02:49] ikonia: because if he has another workgroup in his settings or other bad lines he won't be able to connect probably [02:49] juano__: mount he's trying to mount, not share the file sstems [02:49] one sec IKEAwh0re [02:50] juano__: if it's the default, it's fine [02:50] ikonia: ?? im talking to mac [02:50] does no one read documentation anymore? [02:50] Hot_Girl: what did you call me [02:50] yep, there is no settings in smb.conf [02:50] ikonia: not Hot_Girl [02:50] crdlb: Worked, thanks! [02:50] just full of comments [02:50] robdig: thanks for your help, it's working now [02:50] juano__: same is applies to mac [02:50] what should i add to smb.conf [02:50] buggeredfstab: np [02:51] any ones have a version .deb of kiba-dock our avant dock? [02:51] major problemo... [02:51] ikonia: emm, the question was "i can't access my windows laptop from places network" [02:51] I changed the home directory of my FTP and restarted vsftpd, but my firefox still shows the old directory.. Why is that? It's showing the right one in lftp [02:51] juano__: yeah, [02:51] i cant install a package, 'gcdmaster' from add/remove apps. [02:51] Cannot install 'gcdmaster' [02:51] This application conflicts with other installed software. To install 'gcdmaster' the conflicting software must be removed first. [02:51] Switch to the 'synaptic' package manager to resolve this conflict. [02:51] ikonia: if he can't access his windows laptop using samba, i think SMB.CONF has plenty to do with it [02:51] ubuntu gives me /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off, error again. [02:51] how can i find the dependacies? [02:51] anyone know how to set new monitor info in ubuntu? [02:51] bany ones have a version .deb of kiba-dock our avant dock? [02:51] juano__: depends on the error, and if it's the default, I'd disagree [02:51] Hello- I am having some trouble with my nVidia drivers (non-free ones). How would I go about resetting them to the defaults? [02:51] and then when i try to dual boot into vista i get a quick bsd [02:52] so, am i screwed? [02:52] i'm on the live cd right now since i can't boot into either one of those [02:52] Glam: bsd = windows issue = the channel ##windows [02:52] how do i remove 'conflicting software; in gutsy? [02:52] ikonia: default or not the problem is there, so i suggest to see the smb.conf file to see if everything is right, i wouldn't be 100% sure that everything in there is right, so i think to check the file is a valid option [02:53] juano__: what is his error message ? [02:53] Syco54645: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973 [02:53] ikonia: he hasn't posted one yet [02:53] danbhtwo, thanks [02:53] juano__: exactly, so why start probing files for no reason [02:53] well now i got the problem error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. and when i use apt-get to get the file it says file not found [02:53] google is your friend [02:53] juano can you help me [02:54] I changed the home directory of my FTP and restarted vsftpd, but my firefox still shows the old directory.. Why is that? It's showing the right one in lftp though [02:54] ikonia: so you think that smb.conf has nothing to do with an ubuntu being unable to connect via samba to a windows share ? [02:54] then after the bsod it leads me back to the grub loader, and there are 2 choices for vista basic [02:54] so i chose the 2nd one and it lead me to some acer thing [02:54] juano__: I didn't say that, I suggested you where diving in without even seeing the problem. [02:54] ok IKEAwh0re [02:54] okay ikonia [02:54] all that is installed --- now how do i mount this drive :-/ [02:54] juano__: eg: why start looking at the samba config when it's default without even seeing the problem.

[03:13] i had the error when i was running the livecd, but then i bypassed it using a solution on the forums [03:13] I need help with GRUB. [03:14] that was very rude [03:14] this just looks horrible. i run the auto configure thing for the xserver and it does not fix it. [03:14] and then i followed the instructions installing it [03:14] viper233: i understand there is probably a program to do that in the settings menu [03:14] !tell tumbleweed__ about guidelines [03:14] okay ikonia: nothing is in the 'freegaent' folder. i must not have mounted it correctly [03:14] adante: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/user-guide/C/prefs-personal.html#prefs-keyboard-shortcuts [03:14] viper233: ironically i can't get to the settings menu because i don't know the hotkey to get to it [03:14] so anyu ATI gurus here [03:14] *any [03:14] I am currently in a Ubuntu liveCD because I am getting error 17 when booting up [03:14] mac_: ?

[03:14] Hi people, I'm building my 1st .DEB package, but I only know how to copy files to the system. To start, I want to know just how to put an icon of my application on the systenm menu. How???? [03:14] Hot_Girl: I'm not going to respond to you unless you stop with the naked picture comments" [03:14] <_juan> Glam, if you get an erro with the live cd i'd suggest you try the alternate install using the good old TEXT install [03:15] RenatoSilva: you might wish to try a dev related channel [03:15] but i bypassed it and installed it successfully, and now it will not start up [03:15] dthacker: thanks!

Looking the System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts I don't see a shortcut to this menu.. What menu are you trying to see? [03:16] Watain: try clearing your cache [03:16] so can anyone help with ati driver issues [03:17] <_juan> Glam, bypassing an error during install is not a very safe thing to do, you don't know what will run and what will not [03:17] dthacker: I did that, man [03:17] well, it was the solution when i searched on the forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=421588 [03:17] hey folks, i just installed ubuntu 7.10, and i had compiz up and running until it asked me to use restricted drivers and i said yes. what should i do to get compiz back?

Why is that? It's showing the right one in lftp though <--- Now it worked but it took more than half n hour to reflect the changes. Anyone know anything about this? ( I DID clear the cache, history and everything) [03:19] ok... mikeaz, do you get the mesa bug when issuing fglrxinfo? [03:20] adante : ok... what is it? for future reference? [03:20] nalioth: but these channels are related to developing ubuntu ITSELF, not developing ON IT [03:20] Watain: when you say NAT ip do you mean the private or public ip [03:20] juano [03:20] mac_: [03:20] schmick: i get no errors when i run fglrxinfo [03:20] i tried [03:20] ikonia: Private [03:20] I'm having trouble with sound - I keep hearing this clicking or tapping or some weird sound in the background when the volume is on [03:20] adante : Alt-F1 .. just saw [03:20] but i dont see any folders there [03:20] Watain: ok, is it possible your router is caching when you hit the public ?

[03:21] ohh... mikeaz, I guess U are using an ATI aren't you? [03:21] RenatoSilva: nalioth suggested two good channels. [03:21] schmick: yessir [03:21] RenatoSilva: check out the packaging guide [03:21] mac_: so you can connect to your windows pc with no errors? [03:21] ikonia: I didn't check the public one yet. My issue is with "localhost". It takes forever to update [03:21] ok.. then we are off-topic.. join me on #ati [03:21] nope, i can't do it still [03:21] Having trouble installing wireless- I need to remove w/e i put on blacklist-- how do i do this? [03:21] Watain: it just sounds like a caching issue. [03:21] it doesn't connect [03:22] Watain: try stopping the daemon and connecting with firefox, verify it's not getting a response (as the daemon is dead). [03:22] when i try to open a .rar archive with file roller it says "archive not supported" is there any way to fix this (i tried installing unrar, but to no avail) [03:22] mac_: emm, ok, waitain suggested earlier another thing , do this: alt + f2 , then type smb:// and hit enter [03:22] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49564/ [03:22] <_juan> Glam, I'm sorry i have no idea on vista, but i still suggest you get a copy of th alternate disk, for booting proiblems, super gub disk is an excellent choice [03:23] mrdinkles: you put a wireless ethernet connection on what blacklist? === diafic is now known as di[a]fic [03:23] ikonia: did you read my comment about these channels? Then what do u think? [03:23] ikonia: Okay, stopped the daemon but it's still accessible at localhost [03:23] RenatoSilva: I think they are two excellent channels. [03:23] ikonia: Cleared the cache too [03:23] ikonia: The firefox cache, that is..

[03:24] the -f option is to show it in the foreground === mlg is now known as ardhi [03:24] ikonia: The vsftpd is dead. I tried to connect with lftp. It's only firefox that think it's still alive [03:24] Glam : can you just boot up and see what paritions are available and then we can edit the grub config from there. Sounds like you've specified the wrong device somewhere. [03:24] dthacker: no, while doing previous installs-- i put some bcm on blacklist-- how can i start all over without reinstalilng, i want to remove all old files-- blacklist clear, modprobes-- no clue what they are but i want to start over [03:24] it says couldn't able to connect to windows network: [03:24] right now i'm on the livecd [03:24] RenatoSilva: then you need to consult the channels that ikonia pointed you too, because that is where the help is [03:24] Watain: at least we know firefox is somehow caching it. [03:25] that's the only thing i can boot from right now [03:25] ikonia: Ok, you didn't read my comment, tough seems to... [03:25] RenatoSilva: there are some great guys in there who will take time to advise you. [03:25] RenatoSilva: the debian new packagers guide is a great place to start on the web [03:25] RenatoSilva: I read your comments fine, they are mistaken. [03:25] can someone help me [03:25] i need help with dependacies [03:25] <_juan> by the way Glam, what kind of computer do you have? [03:25] ikonia: But i did "clear private data". Anything else I need to do? [03:25] acer 5315 [laptop] [03:25] Watain: just thinking. I don't use firefox for ftp so I don't know how it behaves.

[03:27] ikonia, i cant install anything, amarok, or k3b anything [03:27] RenatoSilva: no. the official debian guide is here: http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ [03:27] wilo_: ok, thats interesting, what version of ubuntu are you using. === ubuntu is now known as setianto [03:28] condoulo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49566/ [03:28] mrdinkles: that's what I don't understand. I am not familiar with a blacklist in the wireless ethernet configuration. [03:28] ikonia, im using 7.10 [03:28] Glam : e.g. fdisk /dev/sda, press m for help, then p which will print the partitions and their type. [03:28] hey can anyone help with how to setup my laptop to recive beam files from my hand held in ubuntu.. [03:28] wilo_: would you be able to put your /etc/apt/sources.list file in a pastebin please. [03:28] gerath: wirless/bluetooth/infrared ? [03:29] @viper233, in the terminal? [03:29] thanks [03:29] wilo_ : sounds like your /etc/apt/source.list file maybe at fault, is it asking for the CD all the time? [03:29] How can i access my blacklist for wireless configuration? [03:29] ikonia, http://pastebin.ca/832359 [03:29] Glam : yeah, terminal [03:29] but i fixed up the last line, and put a psca ein there [03:29] nalioth: thank you [03:30] a space in there* [03:30] hey ubuntu team! i have a t61 laptop running gutsy. when i plug the network cable directly from my cable mode => laptop.... it 'connects' to the laptop.. BUT, i can't ping any server. additionally, when i plug in the same ethernet cable to my mom's old winxp comp i built for her.... it connects just fine (also with my sisters ibook)..... ideas? [03:30] wilo_: just looking. [03:30] Viper233: it says no such file or directory [03:30] i downloaded a game VDrift-2007-03-23-full-2.package how do i install it with that extension? Ive never seen that extension b4 [03:30] Glam : no fdisk ??? [03:30] arooni: is the laptop set to use DHCP? Do you have a DHCP server? [03:31] viper233, nope. [03:31] i'm on the livecd if it matters [03:31] dthacker, i dont have a dhcp server.... these are connections directly to whatever comes out of a broadband modem [03:31] dthacker, nots ure if dhcp is enabled on the laptop.... how do i check [03:31] wilo_: first thing is to get rid of this line, unless you want to keep using the cdrom deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016)]/ gutsy main restricted [03:31] Glam : for Gutsy? .. [03:32] arooni: you are connected directy to ISP modem ? [03:32] arooni: Network settings [03:32] juano_1, yes [03:32] hey ikonia: I found a program that recovers as much data as possible from a corrupt tar.gz archive, it is running now [03:32] http://www.urbanophile.com/arenn/hacking/gzrt/gzrt.html [03:32] viper233: yes [03:32] should i enable dhcp? i was on "roaming mode" before for wired connections [03:32] arooni: is it a dial-up pppoe internet connection ? [03:32] ikonia, i was using the ;software sources; app. how do i get to the source list in terminal? [03:32] mikedep333: I doubt you'll get anything uless from it. [03:32] Glam : can you run ls, cat, tar? [03:33] juano_1, no, always on broadband (by local cable company) [03:33] wilo_: edit the file with a text editor, and just remove that one line or put a # in front of it. [03:33] arooni: oh i see [03:33] should i try dhcp? [03:33] instead of wired roaming mode [03:33] arooni: do what dthacker suggests, network settings and check to see if it is on dhcp yes [03:33] viper233: how do i do that? [03:33] ikonia, thats the prob, what is the command to edit the file, i need root privillages [03:33] on an lcd monitor how do i smooth out the fonts? i am having the problem where some vertical lines are thicker than others in fonts [03:33] wilo_: sudo [03:34] wilo_: an easy editor is something like "nano" so "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" [03:34] bintut : next-server is the tftp server that tftp clients will look at by default. [03:34] Glam : open a terminal [03:34] viper233: ok [03:34] Glam: type ls [03:35] it gives me desktop === Knighthoodboy_ is now known as Guest165 [03:35] Glam : type top [03:35] viper233: it gives me a lot of stuff [03:36] Glam : press q to quit [03:36] press Ctrl + D to quit [03:36] ikonia, done, i "#" it out, now what [03:36] snow_ : q to quit top [03:36] viper233: ok [03:36] wilo_: sudo apt-get update.

[03:38] viper233: yeah, it gives me a couple of things [03:38] hey junao [03:38] u there [03:38] mac_: yes [03:38] i tried smb://IP [03:38] Glam : cool, now run fdisk /dev/sda [03:38] lshw reports: "*-cpu capabilities: fpu fpu_exception wp vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat clflush dts.

[03:40] no such file or directory, but if i type /dev/sda4 it says unable to open [03:40] wilo_: as I said the channel is busy don't expect a result straight away [03:40] arooni-mobile: please before that check to see that dhcp is enabled or roaming mode [03:40] arooni-mobile: do what juano_1 says ^^^^^ [03:40] merry xmas people [03:40] Glam : don't specify a partition, specify the disk, /dev/sda so fdisk /dev/sda [03:41] viper233: no such file or directory [03:41] its eth1 [03:41] i need help with my bluetooth in ubuntu, i am running gutsy, and i have a generic usb bluetooth dongle. i can get my laptop and phone paired, and send a file from my phone to my laptop, however, i am not able to browse the phone, i keep getting this error "couldn't display obex://[xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx]" and on the next line "check if service is available" ive tried so many how tos and do not know what to do, i was hoping someone in h [03:41] ikonia : still here [03:41] wilo_: whats the error message when you open up synaptic ?

[03:45] ari_stress, yeah? [03:45] "fixed" [03:45] juano_1, its as simple as this, i cannot install anything, if i install through gui, it tells me to go to synaptic, and it tells me i ned the right dependacies, and when igo to install the right dependacies, it tells me i need more [03:45] juano_1, damn: "sudo: dhcpcd: command not found" [03:45] i think my remote computer crashed, is there any way i can remotely restart it? [03:45] hard drives used to be referred to as "fixed disks" [03:45] it works great on wiresless btw [03:45] Glam : maybe try sudo fdisk /dev/sda [03:45] wilo_: in synaptic go to preferences ---> repositories [03:45] juano_1, if i installed via cli then it tells me i need dependacies, and if i sudo get-apt install (application) it says its "unavailable" or need other dependacies [03:46] Neskaya: my pidgin only shows my contact up-to "R" alphabet, why the rest is not shown?

[03:47] Glam : can't find sudo and returns a file not found when running fdisk with arguements?? very strange.. [03:47] wilo_: and please disable all third-party ones [03:47] why $sudo dhclient eth0 is failing, but i can connect to internt [03:47] Glam : no..

[03:47] juano_1, ok ill disable 3rd party [03:48] wilo_: after that click CLOSE below and then reload in the main synaptic window [03:48] is there a bash command to see memory usage, cpu usage etc? my pings are not bad and my response time through ssh/vnc is SLOW [03:48] Glam : so when you type fdisk /dev/sda in the terminal the next line says file not found? or Unable to open /dev/sda [03:49] wilo_: if all goes well, then just try to install what you need [03:49] anyone? [03:49] viper233: no such file or directory [03:50] viper233: does it make a difference if there is a space after fdisk and /? [03:50] arooni-mobile: pastebin sudo ifconfig [03:50] juano_1, thankyou VERY much [03:50] is there a bash command to see memory usage, cpu usage etc? my pings are not bad and my response time through ssh/vnc is SLOW [03:50] <_juan> Rufus_ just hit ctrl+alt+f1 to go back hit ctrl+alt+f7 [03:50] wilo_: did that work ? [03:50] it worked, thankyou soo much juano_1 much appreciated, have a great christmas [03:50] Glam : yes, you will most definitely need a space between fdisk and /dev/sda [03:50] wilo_: hehe great :) have a great x-mas yourself! [03:51] juano_1 it allowed me to select amarok, and its downloading now [03:51] viper233, What if he does not have an ide disc?? [03:51] juano_1, i really appreciate the offer.. but i only have one ethernet cable, and i'm not sure i'd do an accurate typing job transposing that output to my one pc that does have internet access ;( [03:51] viper233: then it says unable to open /dev/sda [03:51] _juan: what do i type in there? [03:51] wilo_: great, yea it was a dependencies problem, it happens :P [03:52] Glam: cool, that means you don't have /dev/sda , try /dev/hda instead... fdisk /dev/hda remember the spaces.. [03:52] <_juan> nothing, Rufus_ that will get you out of the hraphical interface and will show you what version you have [03:52] Glam: try ls /dev and see what u get [03:52] jxxt : we don't know what kind of disk Glam has... ;) [03:53] arooni-mobile: you sure your doing sudo dhclient ethX where X is the wired one right ? [03:53] viper233:ask him to open his box :D [03:53] viper233, That is not helpful :( [03:53] viper233: you will not be able to write the partition table [03:53] and then a whole lot of other stuff after than [03:53] *that [03:54] Glam : cool Everyone he has /dev/hda!!!!!!!!! [03:54] sorry.. she/he ... [03:54] :O [03:54] isnt there something to type in terminal to get all kinds of sytem info? [03:54] i guess that's good news? [03:54] what kind of info you want Rufus? [03:54] Glam:what prog are u using to write partitions? [03:54] Glam : at the terminal type this sudo fdisk /dev/hda [03:54] j_man, ubuntu version, all that stuff [03:54] D [03:54] please stop ubuntu [03:54] ctrl+alt+f1 is messed up [03:54] juano_1, thankyou none the less, i just couldn't get it, i love ubuntu and now its working again, ill love it evern more :) [03:55] viper233: ok [03:55] <_juan> Rufus_ messed up? [03:55] well, there's different commands that will tell you all kinds of different things [03:55] _juan, yes [03:55] qinjuehang : has partitions written, just has grub setup incorrectly... need to know which partition is boot etc...

You are now in the fdisk program, type p and then press enter, you will get a list of your partitions and one of them should have an '*' next to it [03:59] ok, thanks for checking [03:59] doctormo: hi doc! [03:59] doctormo: try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-`uname -r`" i guess [04:00] might take half a min [04:00] using gutsy, and attempting to install bcmwlf with windows wireless drivers-- Says unable to see if hardware is present? any ideas [04:01] viper233: nope i don't have anything except you may change...

I'm trying to connect to port 21 of my laptop from my machine which is connected directly to the switch and it won't connect :/ [04:10] I always drop it in favor of using ndiswrapper [04:10] _juan do u know where its at [04:10] :-( my newly installed ubuntu is giving me hell [04:10] Niko-formerlyEag: Let me see...did you load your wireless module? [04:10] mrdinkles: pastebin your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [04:10] mrdinkles, There is some fairly extensive stuff on this subject in Ubuntu forums... [04:10] mrdinkles: you probably typoed something in there [04:10] qinjuehang, no...that's what I'm getting ready to do right now once I find it [04:11] <_juan> Pulshion, where did you untar the source file? [04:11] home [04:12] juano_1, do you have time for another quick question? [04:12] <_juan> Pulshion, then that's where it's at [04:13] <_juan> Pulshion, did you find it? [04:13] qinjuehang, for some reason the device isn't even listed in lspci [04:13] Niko-formerlyEag: What is the model of your device [04:13] I'm thinking maybe it's not seated all the way in the pci slot for some reason [04:14] _juan no, there is only .mplayer, but its probably a left over from when i uninstalled using synaptic [04:14] Niko-formerlyEag: several linysys cards are blacklisted [04:14] and i do the command u gave me it gives the same output [04:14] mrdinkles: Texas, eh? happens to be where I am too :) [04:14] mrdinkles: any questions? [04:14] <_juan> Pulshion type: whereis mplayer or which mplayer [04:15] in a terminal^^ [04:15] mplayer: /etc/mplayer /usr/local/bin/mplayer /usr/local/etc/mplayer /usr/share/mplayer [04:15] Niko-formerlyEag: Whats your wireless care's model number? [04:16] I ahve an old DOS computer connected to serial port COM1 on my Ubuntu PC (ttyS0), I want to send type to my UB PC, what program can capture info incoming from ttyS0 (Com1)? [04:16] Glam : Well that could be your problem regarding the error 17 you get when trying to boot linux. No bootable partition... [04:16] is there a way to ping a specific computer behind a router? [04:16] <_juan> Pulshion, ir order to use the make remoe command you have to be in the source folder [04:16] qinjuehang, WMP54G [04:16] Glam : I don't know what the u flag means, I'll look it up.. [04:16] qinjuehang, I just opened the computer and it looks like my dad pulled it out of it's slot on accident...so it should work now [04:16] viper233: ok, is there any possible way to fix it? [04:16] which one out of 4? [04:16] qinjuehang, thanks for your help [04:17] Does anyone own a "My Book" external hdd? [04:17] <_juan> Pulshion, did you delete it? none of them [04:17] PSPJunkie: I know someone who does [04:17] Glam : re install??? did you have another OS on that disk? [04:17] no, then why does it start and play movies lol [04:17] Is it possible to partition it and put an OS on it? === _max is now known as max [04:17] PSPJunkie: yes, its just like any old external HDD [04:17] Cool, thanks [04:17] Niko-formerlyEag: :D Your wireless USED to be blacklisted, in fact [04:18] <_juan> look in your home directory for a folder named mplayer [04:18] <_juan> Rufus, that has the make remove parameters [04:18] _juan nothing is there [04:19] <_juan> then look for it in your trash folder [04:19] scguy318: had to go to the restroom-- okay, checking on the blacklist [04:19] viper233: yeah i had it dual booting vista [04:20] Glam : re install is probably the easiest option for you.. it is possible to being things back.. you would want to create a boot partition, install the kernel image, grub again on the installed system, I would do that by chrooting into the install and going at it from there... then re installing grub.. kinda easier to re install [04:20] ubuntu sometimes just shut down by its own [04:20] !flash [04:20] 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 [04:20] 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. [04:20] Glam : If u want to reinstall, I suppose u should make a seperate partition for home [04:21] Can anyone running OpenWRT help me out a bit? [04:21] netdur, is it overheating by chance? [04:21] _juan its not there [04:21] MasterShrek: how do I know? [04:21] Creed, i run dd-wrt, but this is offtopic, if u think i can help you join #ubuntu-offtopic [04:21] netdur: I suppose u have a laptop (Thinkpad?) [04:21] desktop [04:21] viper233: is there any other options besides reinstalling? reinstalling is my last solution [04:21] <_juan> Pulshion, what you can do is recompìle mplayer from source and then deleting it [04:21] netdur: Thats unusual to overheat... [04:22] ok, ill try that, thanx [04:22] netdur, your bios should have sensors [04:22] <_juan> Pulshion, it's the VERY long way around [04:22] netdur: Put your hand behind your computer to see if the fan is working [04:22] Glam : /dev/hda3 is an extended partition which contains your windows drives and logical partitions... [04:22] netdur: easiest method [04:22] I can hear it [04:22] ping ronaldo [04:22] Glam : re install is your easiest option, do you have any data on your linux partition? [04:22] _juan better than nothing [04:23] /viper233 no [04:23] scguy318: how do i get permission into my blacklist [04:23] netdur, is the processor fan working? [04:23] Is there a basic Term program with Ubuntu that will display ascii text arriving via ttyS0 (COM1)? [04:23] qinjuehang: I have one fan right on processor [04:23] <_juan> but reemember you have to be in the source directory in order to make remove, Pulshion [04:23] MasterShrek: yes [04:23] ok, thanx [04:23] Fezzler, minicom [04:23] Glam : so you can lose right? but you want to keep your Vista right? [04:23] netdur: Are all your power cables well connected? and bent pins? [04:23] lol [04:23] power cables [04:23] silly geese [04:24] scguy318: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49568/ [04:24] Hot_Girl: :O [04:24] viper233: that is correct [04:24] qinjuehang: all ok, this never happened with prev. ubuntu install [04:24] Whats a good way to rip rar dvd's to the HD? dvd::rip? I just want to rip some of my movies to the hd for later viewing without the disk, i would like to preserve their orig quality and all the menus etc [04:24] hello!! can someone give me some irc channels about network? [04:25] or topics about network? [04:25] !dvd | Synx_hm [04:25] Synx_hm: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [04:25] mrdinkles: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [04:25] thank you sir [04:25] netdur: Try looking at yoru system log. [04:25] In System>admin [04:25] hello!! can someone give me some irc channels about network? [04:26] mrdinkles: prefix a command with sudo (for CLI apps) or gksudo (for GUI apps) to run it with root privs [04:26] lo [04:26] Okay.. so you can re install.. delete partiton hda1 and hda2 as they are linux partions, manually create a /boot (maybe /home) / (this is called the root partition, as in root of a tree, not root user) and swap partition, Vista be and be back into linux in less than an hour ! [04:26] Synx_hm, try vobcopy, vobcopy -m will copy the entire dvd to hard drive [04:27] Glam : /boot only needs to be 150MB [04:27] Glam : swap 1GB [04:27] scguy318: when i open with gedit, i cant see anything within the file [04:27] can someone give me some irc channels about network? [04:27] Glam : / 10GB or the remainder of the disk [04:28] viper233: ok, can you tell me how i can go about doing that? [04:28] scguy318: ima just log in as root [04:29] Glam : you can do it straight away, seeing you are using the liveCD/install CD. Double click on the install icon on the desktop [04:29] does any1 know here how to program icmp response [04:29] * viper233 find screen shots for Gutsy install [04:31] scguy318: nvm, i dont know how to log in as root lmao [04:31] * viper233 nothing yet .... [04:31] I need to boot a CD image extracted to a USB flash drive. how do i tell grub to boot it? same as a windows partition? [04:31] is there a utility on ubuntu to program the response on ping [04:32] Glam : okay.. we are starting at Step 4 http://news.softpedia.com/news/Installing-Ubuntu-7-10-68645.shtml [04:32] viper233: ok [04:33] chemicalvamp: i dont thin kits possible to boot directly to an iso, but you could burn the iso to a partition and i think you can boot from that? [04:33] Glam : at the Hard disk partitioning [04:33] Glam: You might want to try Wubi if you are really for it, and have little experiance with other OSes [04:33] iiping, oidentd , midentd , gidentd , ident2 are some options [04:33] Glam : ... sections, we'll go with option 3 [04:33] mrdinkles, sudo is a command to run any program as root... just type sudo followed by the name of the program.. it'll ask you for YOUR password, then it'll execute it. [04:33] Glam : manaully creating the partitions [04:33] iiping i thnik you should set that up in /etc/sysctl.conf [04:34] ok [04:34] is there a command line copy utility that provides a status indicator? [04:34] Can someone please help me? eye-of-gnome (the default image viewer) and evince aren't able to print. [04:34] Cam- an extracted iso of a bootable cd [04:34] The print button is greyed out [04:35] Aaron_Mason, what sort of status? [04:35] Aaron_Mason: u mean CPU? [04:35] Aaron_Mason cp -v [04:35] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/webtechmedia.net-release someone please verify [04:35] nah, like progress, telling you what the file's up to [04:35] Glam : .. no screen shots :( go to this site ... http://www.howtoforge.com/the_perfect_desktop_ubuntu_gutsy_gibbon [04:36] lol.. chetnick got the idea.. Aaron_Mason, follow chetnick's answer. [04:36] chemicalvamp: im not -sure- this will work someone else should be able to help you but, if you dd the iso to a spair HD, then you should be able to boot from that [04:36] _juan u there? [04:36] i meant a progress indicator [04:36] viper233: ok [04:36] viper233: Its almost impossible to screenshot gutsy gibbon installing, it doean't work in many virtualizartions :P [04:36] chemicalvamp: ive heard of it working before. [04:37] Cam- if i did that.. what do i have grub boot? like a standard windows boot? [04:37] i suppose I could dd the file in the background and then do periodic kill -USR1 on the process [04:37] qinjuehang : yeah.. it's a pain... [04:37] nickrud, chetnick : thanks for the response [04:38] you should then be able to setup grub to pass boot to that HD [04:38] yes [04:38] Glam : screen shot of where you are upto please... [04:38] viper233: ok [04:38] chemicalvamp: what kind of iso are you trying to boot to though [04:38] !root | mrdinkles [04:38] mrdinkles: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [04:39] or just do sudo passwd root [04:39] and stop worrying about it :) [04:39] got it [04:39] Cam- doesnt matter they all boot the same [04:39] oh joy... join/part flooders [04:39] n00bs [04:39] wowzerz^^^^^^ [04:40] the opers are on the job :) [04:40] Yes, yes they are. [04:40] Good to see! [04:41] I bet irc.swiftirc.net will be empty after this [04:41] lol [04:41] LOL [04:41] :D [04:41] Could also be that they're trying to get their enemies in trouble. [04:42] * RedHeron has seen that in DC. [04:42] maybe they will [04:42] irc.swiftirc.net is mainly runscape related [04:42] Ah. [04:42] Glam : waiting for a screenshot of where you upto? [04:42] there is no java for my compouter, 64-bit and too lazy [04:42] runescape sucks [04:43] viper233: http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k67/QueenHawkeye/Screenshot-3.png [04:45] Glam: 2 more partitions, SWAP and ext3 with home as mountpointg [04:45] Glam : What hard drives do you have in your machine? one ide and one sata? [04:46] viper233: i'm not sure, i had this other problem earlier today so i went to the bios and changed the setting to ide [04:47] viper233: but i'm pretty sure i have sata too [04:47] Glam : how many disks are in the machine? [04:47] Glam : What motherboard? [04:47] viper233: it's an acer 5315 [04:48] I've got a recurring problem with grub i'd like to resolve: adding new hard drives causes the hd id grub searches to become invalid. booting off a cd to fix it requires some guesswork, as i have to unplug an IDE drive to do so. is there a more elegant solution? [04:48] My ides are recognized as sata, and they mount, unmount and work perfectly. [04:49] Where can I configure the "Boot off-board chipsets first support" option? [04:50] where is the GRUB located? [04:50] Glam : so it's one of these... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ACER-5315-ASPIRE-NEAR-NEW-1-MONTH-OLD-INCLUDES-CASE_W0QQitemZ220186277615QQihZ012QQcategoryZ16159QQcmdZViewItem looking for a better description [04:51] snurtle, was that directed at me or qinjuehang? [04:51] yeah, except it has 1gb ram and 80gb hdd [04:51] belarm sorry directed towards yourself [04:51] anyone now what plugin it is to make the open windows stand off the cube? [04:52] in compiz [04:52] My system name is Laptop. I set the server string in smb.conf as %h but it shows up as Laptop (Laptop).. How do i fix this? I don't want the system name twice [04:52] it's on the first sata drive on the on-board sata controller [04:53] asshole: it's netbios name = blabla in smb.conf [04:53] What is a good DVDSHrink like software, for Ubuntu? [04:53] dvdshrink running under wine [04:53] belarm, how many HD and OS do you have on there? [04:53] J_Man: I don't want to use wine [04:54] 4 IDE, 4 SATA, and just one install of ubuntu (7.10 server i386) [04:54] viper233: this is the exact laptop that i have http://item.express.ebay.com/Computers-Networking_Laptop-PCs__New-Acer-5315-2153-Laptop-Intel-80gb-HD-1gb-RAM_W0QQitemZ300168280706QQptdnZQQddnZComputersQ20Q26Q20NetworkingQQadnZLaptopQ20PCsQQcmdZExpressItemQQtabnavZ1#tabs [04:55] unfortunately, i add & remove hard drives frequently, and can't (permanently) use the MBR of IDE0, as I'm looking to phase all the IDEs out for SATA shortly [04:55] my computer is dying taday[oh the irony] [04:55] DWonderly: i'm wondering that myself, in fuzion i cannot find it anymore [04:55] Glam : thanks, seen this site? http://hsnewman.freeshell.org/acr5315.htm [04:55] sid, the only app I'm familiar with that will do that is dvd::rip; but i've not tried it [04:56] ari_stress: I got it... go here http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=5303 [04:56] viper233: no i haven't [04:56] ari_stress: I don't understand exactly what to edit there.. [04:56] ari_stress: It's showing my system name twice [04:56] this is the 2nd time this has happened to me - I can't get apps to start in gnome unless I log out and log back in... any ideas? [04:57] did your IP/hostname change, kyu_flux? [04:57] asshole: add a line like this in smb.conf: netbios name = mysuperlaptop [04:57] belarm: yeah...! [04:57] belarm is there 1 harddrive that you keep permanently [04:57] asshole: it will show your laptop as 'mysuperlaptop' in network [04:57] thanks DWonderly [04:57] the drive with the OS, snurtle; which is SATA 0 [04:58] hi [04:58] Can someone walk me through how to change permission for a folder through the terminal? [04:58] ari_stress Anytime. [04:58] www.gfc.edu.co/~danroj/compiz/Pantallazo.png [04:58] :D [04:59] hello guys [04:59] i need some help [04:59] kyu_flux, I used to have that issue; not sure what the resolution is. [04:59] so, my computer froze while i was using it earlier, i rebooted, and then it dies during starting the X server, i remove a bunch of devices down to bare bones, and only managed to access gnome desktop by booting into recovery mode, logging on root, su-logging on myself then sudo startx. my SATA is gone, USB gone, serial and paralell gone, only using a wired keyboard[thank god i kan do it all from kbd], and its xmas, so stores are closed [04:59] anyone got an idea as to my problem? [04:59] i think my mobo's south-bridge is going, or the CPU [04:59] belarm: ahh... well thanks for the lead - didn't realize that it was so sensitive to changing the IP/hostname =) [05:00] using the network manager to change your IP may provide some relief; but I can't speak with authority on that. [05:00] i've got a relatively old laptop with no harddrive in it and i'm trying to make it work from a live cd as a wireless access point that will share my internet connection. [05:00] belarm, why dont you make a partition on SATA 0 and put GRUB there [05:01] snurtle, the problem ATM seems to be that when I plug drives into my PCI SATA controller, they end up at what would seem to be sda & sdb, pushing back the ones plugged into the onboard (& superior) controller. [05:01] any ideas? [05:01] ari_stress: Okay, I tried that but it shows up the netbios name within brackets.. So since I have the server string already.. It shows up twice.. [05:01] sometimes when im listening to internet radio, firefox crashes and i lose sound until i restart, how can i get sound back without restarting [05:01] Glam : the changes you made in the bios may have caused issues with Vista.. It's wierd that when you did an fdisk it showed a linux, swap and extended partition and now in the partition selection it shows 3 windows (ntfs) partitions and only one linux partition... [05:02] and /boot is on the same drive upon which grub is installed to the MBR; is that what you meant? [05:02] danroj: that is nice [05:02] are these drives the same?i.e. maybe there trying to RAID themselves?? [05:02] so can anyone tell me what might be wrong with my computer? [05:02] (::sniff:: sometimes i actually miss LILO) [05:02] tried a couple of stuff, but due to the fact that it has no hdd it is nearly impossible.. using some ways i've found on the web [05:02] thats directed towards belarm sorry [05:02] audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open resource for writing. [05:02] what does that mean [05:03] viper233: the only bios change i made besides making the dvd/cd boot first is that i changed the sata hdd from ahci to ide [05:03] tanks danzigrules [05:03] asshole: maybe you can turn off the server string off? [05:03] Glam : it's not that anything is lost.. it's just that it's not accessable.. [05:03] snurtle, there's no RAID going on; the PCI controller is a software RAID card, but the disks are in JBOD mode [05:03] viper233: oh [05:03] ari_stress: If I turn off the server string, then it shows up in the network as "Samba 3.0.26a (Laptop)" [05:04] Here's something odd. Fdisk shows /dev/sda1 and yet there is no sda1 within /dev/ [05:04] (which worked in my old config: 8xIDE, 2xSATA, grub on hda) [05:04] on startup I get lots of hard disk errors [05:04] Glam : it will change it from being /dev/sda to /dev/hda... [05:04] do you know of any distro ubuntu-based , or not .. that can do this job without installing any extra things? [05:04] what if I move /* to /dev/null P [05:04] y: you may need a new hard disk... [05:04] ? [05:05] viper233: is there anyway i can fix that? [05:05] dessnr I hope not! [05:05] y: or perhaps map out the bad blocks... [05:05] (ubuntu-based preferred cause its the only one that can use my wireless card without any special drivers.. right out of the box [05:05] dessnr.... tough thing to debug without a proper device locale =( [05:05] have you heard of this before or are you guessing? [05:05] hiya folks - trying to help my father here who's running Ubuntu - but he's behind a NAT (ISP does the NAT'ing, so no port-forwarding, sorry) and I want to SSH into his machine [05:05] can i have some attention please? [05:06] any suggestions? Since obviously running openSSH on his Ubuntu box won't achieve anything for us [05:06] y: i had that problem... i ended up using a startup cd with disk repairing utilities to map the bad blocks out. [05:06] dessnr I thought I tried that to no avail. [05:06] KNOPPIX sees it all fine! [05:06] and can even scan through files. [05:06] inzion: what are you looking for? [05:07] inflex, install ssh and change the port .. (?) === undos is now known as Kakarotto [05:07] i'm trying to make a wireless router out of an old laptop [05:07] I can use the cdrom to fix this again, i just wish the method by which grub identified drives were a little more...to my understanding, i suppose :-) [05:07] with no hdd [05:07] y: strange. knoppix didn't like my drive until i marked the bad blocks out. does it have a specific driver for the HD in ubuntu, or is it generic? [05:07] how do you change the volume icon when i push the "volume up" on my dell? [05:08] Can someone help me change the permission of files through the terminal? [05:08] dessnr, worked fine before. but I'm honestly not sure. [05:08] Thornsberry: man chmod [05:08] Anyone runs an open-arena server? [05:08] kakarooto: How do you use it? I'm still new to Linux, I've had it for a few days. [05:08] what kind of permissions are you trying to give ? [05:08] Glam : too hard over irc... I'm guessing you really want to get back to you Vista setup. What it partitioned into three drives? You can maybe re install to /dev/sda4 as the / partition, do without a swap and just try and get it to boot... does grub come up at all? if you just get error 17 and no OS selection maybe you need to roll back the ide/ahci changes in the bios [05:09] Thornsberry, "man " gives instructions on using that command. [05:09] y: have you tried some of the utilities on "Hiren's Boot CD"? Thats what I used and it did wonders. There is even a HD repair utility that reverses the palarity of the blocks. my drive works as good as new. [05:09] Kakarotto: Well I was making folders and moving things through the terminal and I guess I was the superuser and now I can't even open the folders I just made. [05:09] ari_stress: If I turn off the server string, then it shows up in the network as "Samba 3.0.26a (Laptop)" [05:09] Glam : best option would be to call on your linux friend and bribe them to come and have a look at things [05:09] wow. [05:10] Thornsberry: thats a typical problem when you're new. What you make as root remains root-only [05:10] yes, that would be your best option. i think [05:10] how do you change the volume icon when i push the "volume up" on my dell? [05:10] asshole, please change your nick [05:10] Thornsberry: now you have to change the owner to your normal username === asshole is now known as torrent2 [05:10] viper233: grub does come up, it's just that i can't get into either ubuntu or vista [05:10] Thornsberry, in that case, you probably want chown; change back to the superuser, and do a chown ; chown -R to do a directory and its contents [05:10] Kakarotto: Well how can I get the files back out? I tried using the mv command but I couldn't get them back out of the file. [05:11] Thornsberry: every file or folder has 3 main rights: the owner, the group, and the permissions (modes) [05:11] anyways.. forget about it.. [05:11] Kakarotto: How do I change the owner? [05:11] What's a recommended X server for Ubuntu? I need to X-forward something to a Windows box. [05:11] Thornsberry, see my last message [05:11] Thornsberry: you need to login as root again (root = superuser) [05:11] JordiGH, Indiana University puts out an XLiveCD that'll set up a working cygwin version of X you can use [05:12] i'll find the link; just a second [05:12] or just sudo [05:12] Kakarotto: Okay. [05:12] Kakarotto: http://xlivecd.indiana.edu/ [05:12] My system name is Laptop. I set the server string in smb.conf as %h but it shows up as Laptop (Laptop).. How do i fix this? I don't want the system name twice [05:12] Thornsberry anyway it would be lots easier if you could do it from the X [05:12] I just installed Ubuntu on my laptop, and it's my first venture into linux. I've got to say that I love it. Only thing is, I had a program in windows that would do auto background switching from a given directory. Unfortunately, I can't find something equivalent for Ubuntu. [05:12] JordiGH, also xming is a x server you can run on windows [05:12] y: you can download the ISO file of Hirens boot CD here ... http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd Write it to a CD and then boot it. It has many useful utilities for repairing HD's. [05:12] Glam : have you got a windows Vista boot/rescue install CD? roll back the changes in the bios and then do a repair/rescue with Vista, let Vista rewrite to the mbr and get itself running again. [05:12] belarm: what? [05:12] thanks. [05:12] meh; that was supposed to be directed at JordiGH [05:12] y: welcome [05:13] * belarm is getting both old and tired [05:13] belarm: It's just that I note that cygwin's X server is unmaintained. [05:13] * inzoy thanks for not helping me.. [05:13] (i can't believe this nick is still alive.. i registered it 2 years ago and it has remained registered) [05:13] viper233: the laptop didn't come with a vista rescue cd, will a xp one work? [05:13] Glam : first return your bios to it's original settings [05:13] nickrud: Can I mix xming with Cygwin? [05:14] Glam : no idea.. [05:14] howto burn ISO to disk from the command line in Ubuntu? [05:14] JordiGH, that may be, and that's a good reason not to use it. That said, many of the faculty in my department use it without major issues. You might try this xming, though. [05:14] viper233: can you tell me what i should do after i return the bios to normal? [05:14] y: cdrecord [05:14] thanks. [05:14] np [05:15] JordiGH, yes, http://gears.aset.psu.edu/hpc/guides/xming/ has a guide to setting it up [05:15] belarm: Thank you. A Windows friend of mine is having issues with X forwarding, and it's hard to diagnose remotely over Jabber. ;-) [05:15] viper233: the reason i changed it was because it wouldn't run the livecd without changing ahci to ide [05:15] nickrud: Nice, tahnks. [05:15] thanks [05:15] belarm: thanks for that, i was about to recommend the UI called brasero. Was unaware of the command line. Cheers. [05:16] I really really need help with something [05:16] JordiGH: i'd imagine so. [05:16] Does anyone know where I can find a background switcher for Ubuntu that's similar to this? http://www.johnsadventures.com/software/backgroundswitcher [05:17] dessnr I don't see download link [05:17] Sanketsu➲ try looking for slideshow on bg?

Could someone help me to install a driver from code? I assume I might have to compile it [05:24] If i have an external harddrive, whats the best way to remove it on both linux and windows [05:24] in linux would i just unmount it and turn it off? [05:24] and in windows just select "safely remove hardware" [05:24] eternalis1 umount /the/harddrive [05:24] American-Tech, applications->accessories->terminal , type in there: lspci | grep -i vga, it'll tell you in detail [05:25] it has a power switch, thats what scares me, i dont want to jus tturn it off but it seems thats all i can do really [05:25] Benalex when i click "scan removable media" nothing happens. the ipod is connected with usb, and there is nothing on it as far as i know [05:25] eternalis1, when you unmount in ubuntu it makes sure everything is written to the device [05:25] eternalis1, it "safely removes it" [05:25] ridge-meister: can you browse its contents from Natilus? [05:25] Glam : okay.. now df -h [05:25] jimmygoon: so thats the equivalent of safely remove hardware in windows? just makingn sure because i dualboot with both [05:26] Glam : I want to see where your CD/DVD is mounted [05:26] eternalis1, unfortunately, when you shut down ubuntu it doesn't always do that... so if you have a removable device make sure you unmount it before you shut down ubuntu. even if you aren't unplugging it [05:26] howto eject a cd in ubuntu? [05:26] 7300 gt [05:26] eternalis1, yes, that is the safest thing to do [05:26] jimmygoon: aright thanks man [05:26] y, right click its icn and hit "unmount" or "eject" [05:26] Could someone help me to install a driver from code? I assume I might have to compile it [05:26] Glam : make sure you have a space between df and -h [05:26] eternalis1, sure, no problem [05:26] y: try this link here and see how you go. this is the 9.3 version. downloading it these days seems like it is a real cow :| http://rs228.rapidshare.com/files/63049265/Hirens.BootCD.9.3__9Down.COM.rar [05:26] dessnr: eject cd ubuntu [05:26] jimmygoon i am using command line [05:26] RoshanK, sudo apt-get install build-essential to start off with [05:26] viper233: ok, let me screen shot this again.

[05:28] y: did you try the link i gave you, the last link i just sent? it has a countdown but then begins download. [05:28] American-Tech, system->admin->restricted drivers, enable the nvidia one, and reboot. You should get better video support. [05:28] ridge-meister: it should be appearing among your partitions [05:28] soldats gr [05:28] i believe not [05:28] dessnr yeah but i need iso not rar. [05:28] My system name is Laptop. I set the server string in smb.conf as %h but it shows up as Laptop (Laptop).. How do i fix this? I don't want the system name twice [05:28] i looked and this is what i got from multiple places [05:28] ISO is within the RAR file. [05:28] y, "man eject" in a terminal [05:28] oooh [05:28] duh.

[05:29] RoshanK, sorry, i'm not familiar with that [05:29] ok thank you though [05:29] do you think i should keep asking here? [05:30] or is there another channel [05:30] smilevil, yes, I need to install mplayer [05:30] dessnr oh my god. that site sucks. [05:30] any other sources? [05:30] RoshanK, are you sure you need that? [05:30] RoshanK, I read something that implies that oled support is in 2.6.22 [05:30] ridge-meister: then I don't think your iPod has been detected.. this is the same probl;em I have... i can't mount my kingstone Flash drive yet.. ask someone else in a few, may be you get some answer... sorry :) [05:31] hmm [05:31] RoshanK, what version of ubuntu do you have? (uname -a) [05:31] Glam : brain has gone a bit spongey.. can't see how your CD is mounted.. can you type dmesg at the terminal and copy that output to pastebin.com [05:31] Benalex: Device Manager has found the device, which is good. just don't know what to do after that :) [05:31] well the thing is that i have an oled on my laptop that while in ubuntu only isplays ASUS the entire time. this driver should allow me somehow to sht it off t least and even modifiy [05:31] i have gutsy gibbons [05:31] hi [05:31] hi anyone here :) ? [05:32] ridge-meister: what is the name of it /dev/??? [05:32] i just fired up my mplayer and started watching with subtitle [05:32] it was working fine [05:32] but the subtitles were too big [05:32] y: i am still looking. once upon a time, it was click and download. [05:32] so I googled and found config had to be altered [05:32] i need to get it with wget =) [05:32] so i make changes to config [05:32] RoshanK, hm, I'm sorry, I really don't know. I would scour the internet and see, surely someone else has the oled functioning with ubuntu, I don't know how to help you any more though [05:32] and the mplayer doesnt play subtitles on ubuntu :( [05:32] what may tbe reason :( ? [05:32] ok thank you though [05:33] I need some help setting permissions for a program that had a weird installer, the 'bin' folder is only readable by root, what perm chmod level should I use to change it [05:33] 777 [05:33] done [05:33] Benalex: /dev/bus/usb/002/002 [05:33] smilevil, I'm having problems with mplayer playing that, says it can't read that one [05:33] viper233: http://pastebin.com/m540bc954 [05:33] <||drake||> i have audio working for everything, except for flash files playing in firefox (like youtube, flash games, etc) [05:33] codo, have you tried vlc? I find mplayer to be barely better than totem at most times [05:34] ok [05:34] * nickrud agrees with jimmygoon [05:34] ill try vlc for ubuntu [05:34] ||drake||, you are having audio out problems? with gutsy? [05:34] we can apt-get it ? [05:34] ridge-meister: make an empty dir and then try to mount iPod using mount command into this empty dir [05:34] codo, indeed, it even has a plugin for firefox though I can't seem to get it to work for me most times [05:35] when i click on a mms like that it says totem to open it, i wanna open it with mplayer, that's what i want [05:35] but I can watch a movie of se7en with subtitles right :) ? [05:35] ? [05:35] nickrud, when i click on a mms like that it says totem to open it, i wanna open it with mplayer, that's what i wan [05:35] As far as I'm concerned though, anyone having problems with embedded media in firefox (in ANY operating system) need only look to MediaPlayerConnectivety extension to fix their problems.... it works MIRACLES! [05:35] <||drake||> jimmygoon: thats way over-simplifying it, but i guess [05:36] * codo loved mplayers command line starting up :( [05:36] Benalex: after i create the directory, what do i type as my mount command? [05:36] but you screw it's config it screws up :( [05:36] sigh [05:36] ||drake||, hm, I was just suprised, I thought flash-audio problems had been put to rest a year or two ago with ubuntu :/ sorry, I don't really have anything more helpful to contribute to you :( [05:36] A German radio broadcast article states that there are about 40 full-time paid Ubuntu development engineers. Is that true? [05:36] ridge-meister: sudo mount /dev/bus/usb/002/002 DirName [05:37] bullgard4: i guess so [05:37] * codo would love to work for ubuntu if they are true :P [05:37] viper233: i'm going to reset my bios setting and see if it makes any difference [05:37] bullgard4 Id say that # was alittle low .. that is probably German developers [05:38] ok vlc works for me :) [05:38] may be christmas be merrier for you all guys [05:38] cya [05:39] Benalex: i tried to mount with "sudo mount /dev/bus/usb/002/002 ~/ipod" [05:39] y: try this one, and cross your fingers... http://www.fixdown.com/godownload.asp?id=2619&gdcnc-downs=04fdea29ca97523d [05:39] my ipod mounts itself [05:40] i got this result -> mount: /dev/bus/usb/002/002 is not a block device [05:40] Anubis: what did i do wrong with that command? [05:40] nickrud, ok thanks i solve it, it's just about:config then create a new STRING and put network.protocol-handler.app.mms then on the other field put the software you want to use ot open it, in my case, mplayer, thanks to all [05:41] Some way to pipe DD through zip compression in one felll swoop? [05:41] unplug it and plug it back in [05:41] should auto mount [05:41] smilevil, thanks, I'm adding that to mine as well. Good googling [05:41] I've managed to get my usb modules loaded into ndiswrapper, but I get probe of 2-4:1.0 failed with error -22 [05:41] when i try to modprobe ndiswrapper.

[05:41] nickrud, jeje thanks, well see ya [05:41] ridge-meister, mount -t fs-type device mount-point [05:41] ridge-meister, try a different usb port [05:42] could someone skilled in ndiswrapper give me any pointers? ndiswrapper -l lists them properly, but no device is created [05:42] Attempting to get my wireless working-- ndiswrapper should be installed properly, wireless modem is on roaming, bcmwlf5 driver is installed and showing installed properly-- But its not picking up any wireless networks-- Ideas? [05:43] am i missing something? [05:43] hmm no [05:43] Anubis: what would unplugging and plugging it back in do? i did that and it just reconnected. still not seeing it in nautilus and it's not showing up in rythm [05:43] y: huh? it worked for me that one... [05:43] Mechdave: going to try your solution :) [05:43] makes mine work [05:44] ridge-meister, no worries mate, have a bit of a read of mn [05:44] man mount [05:44] is anyone here familiar with compiling and drivers?

[05:46] does anyone know a decent C compiler that i can use to compile for a driver? [05:46] y: if that last link does not work (server 3) then I can't help you, because that worked for me fine. [05:46] ridge-meister: you forgot 247 lbs [05:46] muchos kg [05:46] dessnr service unavailable [05:46] vfat or apple partitions should auto moutn regardless [05:46] anyone know how to make the desktop cube transparent? [05:46] Mechdave: i don't know i just saw that Device Manager spotted :) [05:46] soldats, cheers [05:46] CARLOS :) [05:46] y: server 1 and 2 did that for me, not 3.

[05:52] or do a ls -la /dev | grep 002/003 [05:52] y: do you see it yet?

[05:58] i haven't tried to boot in with ubuntu yet, i'll be back to find out if it works or not [05:58] hm, well, still loads better than windows and it has been a nice learning experience for my first linux distro, so I can't complain too much, I've only had one real major issue and I've learned to cope [05:59] are there any requierments for compiz fusion or beryl [05:59] Glam: cool === monkey_ is now known as rushJet [05:59] Mechdave: if i unplug it, it returns nothing [05:59] pvl1, have a graphics card (driver) that supports compositing [05:59] jimmygoon, yeah, its a good first. But I said that about Fedora Core and, at the end of the day, it was just trying to be too unique. [05:59] debian is fine, but I switched to ubuntu because it needs little configuration. Haven't had any intractable hardware problems, though [06:00] ridge-meister, rather odd, hang about shall research it a bit [06:00] jimmygoon, oo ok ty [06:00] yeah. i liked ubuntu at first but trying to get help is weird. [06:00] ubuntu has more packages, hands down... that is largely what gets me everytime [06:00] pvl1, does that help? heh [06:00] debian packages :) [06:00] heh. [06:00] what's the problem, anyway y? [06:01] and y , the best help is on the mail list, as always [06:01] my /dev/sda1 errors on startup and then doesn't exist in dev [06:01] grr, the woot didn't change [06:01] but /dev/sda is there [06:01] fdisk says that /dev/sda1 is there. [06:01] but its not. [06:02] that is an oddity, sounds like a udev problem. over my head [06:02] yup. [06:02] y : what is meant to be there? what partition type and filesystem is on /dev/sda1 [06:02] y ask on the mail list , good help is available there [06:04] it works now, only with one weird thing [06:04] Glam : yeah? [06:04] when i boot up ubuntu i still get the message /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off [06:05] so i tried typing in exit and it loaded up ubuntu [06:05] Glam : so does it boot at all and allow you to login? are you running linux now? [06:06] viper233: yeah, it lets me boot it now, i just have to type exit every time i have to load it [06:06] Thank you so so so so sooo much for your help viper233 [06:07] I'm so totally in your debt, thank you so much again! [06:07] Glam, do you have a floppy drive? [06:08] ridge-meister, can you post for me the last few lines of dmesg after you plug in you ipod, post it in #mechdave [06:08] Glam : No probs.. [06:08] alright...anyone here have experience with grub2? [06:08] belarm, a little [06:09] does it, um...work? [06:09] Glam : do you understand what the problem is related to? it the jmicron IDE controller that your CD/DVD is attached to. This controller is real problem as it is not well supported my linux.. still.. I think... [06:09] belarm, in what way is it not working? [06:10] Mechdave, I haven't installed it yet. I'm just wondering if there are any show-stoppers that I should be aware of going into the install. [06:10] viper233: i think it was the IDE that messed me up because when i reseted the bios it worked fine [06:11] My current grub setup is simply not going to work for me any more, and I'm thinking of trying this (plus it sounds neat) [06:11] belarm, if you are running vista with it you need to find out how to make it vista/ubuntu dual boot, XP is ok tho [06:11] ok, one more thing and then i'm off to bed, how do i make my screen resolution 1200x800, i'm only getting 1024x768 [06:12] I have a D-Link USB adapter. I've been using it for the last few months with basically no probs, though it sometimes misbehaves after I've booted into XP ((wont come up without a series of reboots)). Rarely boot XP so this is rarely a prob, but I did it yesterday... [06:12] Glam, what kind of video card are you using? [06:12] Glam : Yeah, it's ide controller on the motherboard. I had the same issue with some desktop machines and the easiest solution was to use Sata CD/DVD drives.. bit of a problem with a laptop :} [06:12] what type monitor? [06:12] Mechdave, I'm not dual-booting. Grub is having issues with the fact that my bios is throwing the new SATA drives I installed in before my old ones, and I'm hoping to be able to resolve this on a permanent basis. [06:13] nickrud: it's a intel [06:13] Glam : got to a virtual terminal by holding ALT-CTRL and then press F1 [06:13] Glam, if you could put your /etc/X11/xorg.conf , /var/log/Xorg.0.log , and the output of lspci | grep -i vga on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [06:13] Glam, but if viper233 has a shortcut ... [06:13] Glam : ALT-CTRL F7 to get back to X [06:14] /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh writes: "# Unset video posting - it's not needed for suspend to disk." What is meant by 'video posting'? [06:14] would anyone here be chance have an asus g1s or g2s? [06:14] yeah, just use the dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg interface.. saves having to edit the file directly [06:15] or any such asus laptop with the oled? [06:15] I try to look at the stuff first, saves guessing. Could be vesa driver for some reason [06:15] You might be able to run that command from the terminal while in X though it could complain that X is already running. I know I would :P [06:15] viper233, no, it's fine to run in a terminal [06:16] Is there a way to disable the graphical boot and have it display verbose text of the boot process? [06:16] Anybody know way around mail notification [06:16] Looking at top, mysqld_safe is using 100% of CPU, and mysqld is using 21%. What the heck is mysqld_safe? :) [06:16] uhh can you repeat that? [06:16] my screen blanked out after ctrl alt f1 [06:17] jumbers, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst , look for the line with splash in it. delete the word splash. delete quiet if you want to see all the kernel messages as well [06:17] Anybody know way around mail notification program. [06:17] Glam : sorry... ALT-CTRL F7 to get back to X [06:17] nickrud: Thank you === nick__ is now known as nrober [06:17] viper233: so what do i need to do? [06:17] dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg in a terminal, will let you choose your resolution [06:18] Glam : sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg got to put the sudo first... remember spaces [06:19] uh it asks for a password [06:20] Glam : you can cut and paste in X by selecting the text with left mouse button and then moving the cursor to the terminal and clicking the middle button to paste.. if you don't have a middle button press the left and right buttons at the same time [06:20] Mechdave: sorry about that, had a breakdown there. went to reconnect the ipod to the original usb port, and wound up turning the damn machine off :) [06:20] Mechdave: are you still in #mechdave? [06:20] hey all, I'm trying to compile a kernel and I got the error 'cannot find ld'... I tested with a basic program and the same message come up. i'm running ubuntu 7.10 and build-essential is installed [06:20] viper233: ok i'm in the terminal, what now? [06:21] When it asks for a password just enter your normail password that you entered to login [06:22] Glam : sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg got to put the sudo first... remember spaces [06:22] viper233: i'm in the xserver-xorg, what do i do now? [06:24] Mechdave: you there? [06:24] when i plug the ipod in Music Player starts up [06:24] Aaron_Mason, type which ld in a terminal, you should get back /usr/bin/ld [06:24] Glam : just for follow the prompts.. make sure there is an X next to the resolution that you want.

E: Build-dependencies for ffmpeg could not be satisfied [06:26] viper233: it gives me a list of x server drivers [06:27] Hrm... looking up hardware details [06:28] Glam : this site doesn't say what driver to use... http://hsnewman.freeshell.org/acr5315.htm handy.... Not.. [06:29] hi there! [06:29] Glam, in another terminal, type lspci | grep -i vga , that will give enough info about your card to choose a driver [06:29] Mechdave: you there?

My external hard drive is auto-mounting in /media/MAX HD (yes, a darn space). How do I change it so it automounts to a different folder in /media? [06:32] RoshanK, you need to directly ask a question when you're on IRC. People don't tend to respond to "Can anyone..." or "Can I ask a question...". [06:32] Glam : us for Keyboard, pc105 for mapping and then restart and see how it goes.

The problem was @audio [07:01] ninda: stop it [07:02] lucian, gnash is well named, you will gnash your teeth trying to watch flash with that [07:02] lol [07:02] BHSPitMonkey, sorry about before. here is the pastebin link http://pastebin.com/m1d5043d0 [07:02] MYRTTI.WHAT MY PROBLEM WITH U?HA [07:02] tru.. it is a .. pain sometimes on my ppc where no flash is available :( [07:02] interesting bluefoxx, any sata controller ive used has been auto detected, no problem. how new is your hardware? [07:03] ninda, she wants you to turn off caps [07:03] DrChirs, in case nobody's told you, ubotu is a bot :) [07:03] very nice jack with unlimited memlock. [07:03] WHAT CAPS? [07:03] ninda, please refrain from using uppercase letters, and if you dont have any questions or dont want to offer any help, join #ubuntu-offtopic [07:03] its an asrock p4vm890, running the BIOS that came with it [07:03] ninda, do you practice or does it come naturally? [07:03] bluefoxx, how new is it? [07:03] MAKSUT LOHHH? [07:04] there should be a channelmode for stripping caps [07:04] bye bye [07:04] and trolls [07:04] i got it in may/june ish [07:04] ninda: hit caps lock on the left side [07:04] pvl1, wasn't accidental [07:04] bluefoxx, i would give 7.10 a go, it has a newer kernel, and probably better support for it [07:04] well i would, but thats the problem [07:04] Even if it was, if someone is that dense, they should find another hobby. Like fingerpainting. [07:04] from what i can see, Ubuntu already works well with a windows network, but is there anything more i can do to help it work better with a windows network, for instance can i make ubuntu show up inside a windows workgroup or active directory domain, and such things like that.. [07:05] i need to backup to the SATA drive [07:05] BHSPitMonkey, oh ok [07:05] XD [07:05] bluefoxx: make a new partition and drag your stuff there [07:05] bluefoxx, boot the 7.10 livecd, and if it recognizes it, back your data up from that, then perform the install [07:05] BHSPitMonkey, I'm sorry if I'm bugging you but here is the pastebin link to the error i got while attempting to install the driver [07:05] BHSPitMonkey, http://pastebin.com/m1d5043d0 [07:06] lol sorry bout that [07:06] ok, will try that, is gonna take some time though as i am on glorified dial-up [07:06] RoshanK, dont ever apologize for trying to get help here :) [07:06] ouch [07:06] /me ducks [07:06] error [07:06] and have about 40-50 gigs of data to keep [07:06] ok thank you mastershrek [07:07] because i can log on to an active directory domain with ubuntu to access files, but is there a way to join an active directory domain or even show up as a workgrouped computer [07:07] bluefoxx: how big is your current hd? [07:07] bluefoxx, how did you get the data on the sata drive already? windows? [07:07] 250 GB [07:07] MasterShrek, did you get your ipod problem solved [07:07] I'm having trouble getting any sound to work on Ubuntu 7.10, i believe it worked fine with 6.06. The sound card is a Audigy LS. Anyone have any suggestions? [07:07] RoshanK, run "make clean", then run "make", then run "sudo make install". If there's an error along the way, stop and let me know. [07:07] soldats, that wasnt me, i dont even own an ipod =P [07:07] Hi.. [07:07] ageorge: check you levels in alsa? [07:07] ageorge, alsamixer works? [07:07] BHSPitMonkey ok will do [07:07] BloodyScum, you can have it in workgroups, samba can do that [07:07] bluefoxx: if you have the extra space... it would probably be easier to make a new partition about 60 gigs to backup while you install 7.10 on the other partition [07:08] hello lisa_potter [07:08] MasterShrek, oh jeebz im sorry the tab completion got the better of me [07:08] Hello [07:08] yeah, levels in alsamixer are all up, I've tried various level settings with no luck [07:08] lucian, he cant access the sata drive to do that, thats the problem [07:08] ageorge, did you try plugging in a headphone? [07:08] soldats =P [07:08] MasterShrek: what do you mean data on sata drive?im running a seagate U-IDE 250 gig as my main drive, ubuntu only [07:09] ageorge, open up the sound mixes window, in the switches check whether external amplifier is on or off [07:09] bluefoxx, oh, i figured you had data on the sata drive, i dont know why i thought that lol [07:09] MasterShrek: i was speaking in terms of parting the drive he is currently using to back the data up while he reinstalls on the primary partition [07:09] MasterShrek: i want to backup to install windows for compatability of softwear, then reinstall ubuntu, and throw debian, slax and a few other distros into the mix too[5way bootXD] [07:10] Mastershrek? [07:10] lucian, thats possible, also cant you just install over the top in ubuntu, i cant remember if theres an option not to format the drive, but if there is, just delete all the files you dont need (generally everything except /home) and install without formatting [07:10] teknofreak, where is the sound mixer window? is it the volume control window? [07:10] lisa_potter? =P [07:10] ageorge, yep [07:10] How old are u? [07:11] in order to unse KDM themes i would have to installed Kubuntu desktop? [07:11] sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop [07:11] lisa_potter: who? [07:11] http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10917246/samba_3.0.28-1ubuntu2_source.changes [07:11] !offtopic | lisa_potter [07:11] lisa_potter: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [07:11] mastershrek: thank you, as much as i hate windows(iv removed it from all my personal systems) my work and school both use windows on all the machines and even though i can access all the networked files on the server, i cant share any of my own for others at my work to see have.. [07:11] bluefoxx, install slax? slax is made to be a live distro, not really optimized for a desktop (use slackware) and you shouldnt haev any problems if you could get your sata controller working [07:11] bluefoxx: do you have a 7.10 cd or are you planning on downloading and burning? [07:11] kye, if all you want is kdm , just sudo aptitude install kdm [07:11] * Fixed incorrect line in debian/patches/VERSION.patch [07:11] Thank's ubotu [07:11] BloodyScum, i hear you on that, samba is good for it :) [07:12] apt-get or aptitude [07:12] lisa_potter: ubotu is a bot... :P [07:12] Yes Myrtti [07:12] ubotu is a bot he needs no thanks [07:12] lucian: downloading and burning, they didnt approve my free-CD request [07:12] Bot??? [07:12] nickrud, im trying to replace the menu at the bottom to look like KDE and use the KDM theme manger [07:12] lisa_potter: bot=program [07:12] lisa_potter, talking to a computer [07:12] Ooooo [07:12] that meme about apt-get vs. aptitude is OLD [07:12] lisa_potter, he can answer your On-Topic questions [07:12] bluefoxx: well, you could just do a dist-upgrade which would update your current distro to 7.10 (if your on fiesty) and you wouldn't need to back any data up [07:12] bluefoxx, they didnt approve it? weird... [07:12] kye, oh, you're talking about the taskbar, for that you'd have to run the full kde desktop [07:13] define:meme [07:13] bluefoxx: then you could try hooking up the sata drive [07:13] nickrud, so sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop should work [07:13] lucian: i tried that once, it fried my main kernal [07:13] eveil ;P [07:13] I will be able to switch between KDM and GNOME? [07:13] kye, yup, that's perfect [07:13] BHSPitMonkey, thank you so much for the help. i believe that i isntalled the driver correctly and will now restart to see if it is working right [07:13] lucian: plus it took forever and an age [07:13] nickrud, thanks pal! [07:13] Just installed sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre but java is still telling me that I don't have the latest version, that I have version 1.4.2 instead [07:13] kye, yes [07:13] I'm indonesian so i can't understand english verywell [07:13] how do i change my alias-password? [07:13] teknofreak, tried checking it off and on, no change [07:13] kye, youll choose from the login screen [07:13] RoshanK, no need to restart, this is linux [07:13] kye, between kde and gnome , yes. kdm is an alternate login screen [07:13] bluefoxx: yes... it does take a very long time doing it that way [07:14] ubotu: ndiswrapper? [07:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about ndiswrapper? - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:14] ubotu: ndiswrapper [07:14] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [07:14] !id | lisa_potter [07:14] lisa_potter: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [07:14] ageorge, there is a combination of off and on settings that *might* work [07:14] RoshanK, do as the readme states, (but add sudo to the beginning): "sudo modprobe asus_oled" [07:14] Xacarith, then run sudo update-alternatives --config java , look for the one with sun in the path and choose that one [07:14] is it possible to manually copy the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives to another location, and restore it after reinstalling ubuntu? aptoncd isn't working for me, and i don't want to lose the packages i've downloaded :-/ [07:14] so the difference between distros is just KDE AND GNOME when it comes to kubuntu and ubuntu? [07:15] zeptin, cp -r /path/to/source /path/to/destination [07:15] zeptin, yes, that works fine [07:15] Yes [07:15] bluefoxx: well... if you have another pc and a router or cross-cable you can back-up via ethernet... [07:15] ah, thanks [07:15] kye, yes, thats about it, the desktop environment and the default programs [07:15] kye, yes [07:15] teKnofreak, what does that mena? [07:15] mean? [07:16] ageorge, sometimes, from what i have experienced, what you see on alsamixer varies between sound cards and it doesn't work when some option(s) are turned On [07:16] lucian: i wont have another computer until around the first week of january, when i am getting a ubuntu-box from someone off of craigslist[whee, im not the only ubuntu user in vancouverXD] [07:16] CAn u make conversation with me?

[07:19] java's linux installation instructions are out of date [07:20] teKnofreak, I've tried several differnet combinations of the switches, nothings worked [07:20] Xacarith, you installed sun-java6-* ? [07:20] any vancouverites have some electronics they wanna get rid of?ill take them if you deliver them [07:20] Xacarith, you don't want to use the sun bin, just get java from the repos [07:20] i did install sun-java6-* once... i had java links all over my menus :( [07:20] Halloo..Q kok di cwekkin sich [07:20] lisa_potter: have you got any Ubuntu-related questions?

I have a bit of a problem. I have Ubuntu 7.10 on my laptop and I have a problem with headphones. When I have sound on like music or a video, i plug in my headphones but the speakers on my laptop dont go off. How can i make it so when i plug in my headphones, my speakers turn of and when i unplug them, they turn back on? [07:32] bluefoxx: thanks, that's where it is for ubuntu - i'm trying out xubuntu for a media machine it's somewhere else :( [07:32] lucian: there is not front or back in there :S [07:32] thanks soldats [07:32] Silver_Fox, switch off external amplifier to cut the speakers [07:32] i dont get sound when i play movies. where can i read about downloading codecs etc?.

[07:32] mr_step: no prob, once i get a faster net connection im gonna d/l all distros and use them all [07:32] * bluefoxx hate glorified dialup [07:33] BHSPitMonkey , i was able to install the driver and i checked as http://lapsus.berlios.de/asus_oled.html states by running dmesg and also lsusb, but when i attempt to turn off the oled using 'sudo modprobe asus_oled start_off=1' nothing happens === monkey_ is now known as rushJet [07:33] teKnofreak, i know, thats what i have to do every single time i plug or unplug my headphones, i want it automatic, its anoying. [07:33] ouch.. dialup would be painful. happily my isp mirror's all of them for us. [07:33] Silver_Fox, i started living with it ;) [07:33] teKnofreak, you have it aswell? can it be fixed though? [07:34] Silver_Fox: thats something thats related to the hardware components, i know as i make my own speaker systems [07:34] Silver_Fox, i haven't really tried to, as i always use headphones [07:34] Silver_Fox: your not the only one who has had that problem... unfortunately.. i dont have my logs anymore and can't remember the solution presented at the time. [07:34] will trackerd search the contents of your web history like beagle does? [07:34] lucian, dang, did u fix it though? [07:35] oh.. i've been meaning to ask, is this channel publicly logged (i.e. via web). [07:35] hi what is the name of the archiving tool in ubuntu that would attach to your right click menu and you could do extract here not open with archive manger? [07:35] Silver_Fox: it wasn't my problem.. i was just reading the chat and someone solved it [07:35] thats all i remember [07:35] Oh, i forgot. When i do turn off externap amp and use my headphones, the sound quality is horrible! [07:35] lucian: yes. [07:35] it needs a special jack that trips a switch to override input to speakers [07:35] !logs [07:35] Channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - Logs for LoCo channels are at http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ - See also « /msg ubotu ircstats » [07:35] is it called gnome archive manager?

[07:36] Silver_Fox: if its a PC, try another sound card [07:36] but be careful, older ones can skew your system [07:36] In vlc i have no sound. but i have sound in xmms. What codec and where to get it ?. or what else can i do?. i use ubuntu.. need help :S [07:36] mine had been crashing for the past week cause of a faulty card [07:37] bluefoxx, its a pc. The thing is, when i first got ubuntu, i had no problems. Then when i reinstalled it like 5 months ago, the problem started. [07:37] my SATA wasnt working, then today it messed with me IDE and USB ports [07:37] Silver_Fox: sometimes it is just a glitch during installation. Have you tried re-installing? [07:38] lucian, several times [07:38] nickrud foxfire is refusing to see the plugins it seems... [07:38] sulle: are sure its not called something else cause I just browsed /usr/bin for archive manager and gnome archive manager [07:38] i was comfused for hours, i refused to remove it at first, i am an audiophile as well as a geek [07:38] confused* [07:38] BHSPitMonkey are you still here? i needed some help as i was able to install the driver but using that command of modprobe did not do anything [07:38] or was it ark [07:38] how do i find out what version X i have?

Never could figure out how to do that, then when I saw it, it was another doh moment [07:45] ari_stress, cant you use firefox .... maybe an extension or something [07:45] nickrud, yeah, I understand why [07:45] playing world of warcraft makes you old and smelly [07:45] fyi [07:45] sd132, any fantasy online rpgs?

[07:45] you play a game instead to make you fell good inside [07:46] MasterShrek, that's nothing without your heroic crap [07:46] jschitto: im a wow player, and im not old and smely or young and unpopular [07:46] i dont believe you [07:46] =P [07:46] HardDisk, ya, just havent found any good games [07:46] try to keep this room strictly to ubuntu troubleshooting issues.

[07:48] jschitto: and i never said im popular[or unpopular], just young [07:48] Silver_Fox, ding, ding, ding [07:48] good observation Silver_Fox [07:48] MasterShrek, thanks [07:48] RoshanK, to confirm that it worked, do cat /etc/modprobe.d/asus_oled and see if it spits that options line back at you [07:48] lol [07:48] brendonh, I'd like you to sudo apt-get update in terminal and let me know what it does. [07:48] jschitto: face it, anyone in this room is a geek to *some* degree [07:48] * MasterShrek is popular...

[07:49] !offtopic [07:49] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [07:49] HardDisk, you're a piece of machinery. [07:50] Myrtti, they said im no fun in offtopic... :( [07:50] machines are kewl [07:50] HardDisk: thanks, i'll try again [07:50] well, siya later geeks and nerd... Wait, what? [07:50] [HardDisk] Thanks, that ran a whole lot of commands, seemed to be updating the list. Will go back to the app list now and see what happens [07:50] MasterShrek: lol [07:50] Myrth[home], system->prefs->appearance, and on the themes tab, click customize [07:50] hey can someone help me out with some problems I am having with new digital camera ? [07:50] what ubuntu has subpixel fonts for PDF [07:50] MasterShrek: welcome anyway. Lets keep this channel for support [07:50] databits, not reading from the memory card? [07:50] aight [07:50] databits, what sort of problem? [07:50] do i have to use acroread32 [07:51] databits, maybe, if it's an ubuntu question :) [07:51] harddisk, it is giving me a ptp error [07:51] databits, in terminal, sudo rmmod ehci_hcd then once you're done do sudo modprobe ehci-hcd notice the difference between _ and - [07:51] jschitto, i dont think so, there are many pdf readers i think [07:51] harddisk, hold on I will check and get the exact error [07:51] [HardDisk] Perfect, thanks, that resolved it. Will save the command for later reference [07:51] jschitto, subpixel for lcd's, evince uses the usual cairo canvas [07:51] MasterShrek: no i mean subpixel font rendering [07:51] is it legal to copy DVDs to your harddisk if you paid for them? [07:51] evince has no subpixel for me nickrud [07:51] brendonh, you can also do a manual upgrade of apps if any by sudo apt-get upgrade, check out ubuntuguide.org ubuntugeek.com and ubuntuhq.com [07:52] out of curiosity. [07:52] it is enabled for GNOME and KDE apps [07:52] no idea...thats over my head, im not a pdf master...just a master of shreks...=P [07:52] bluefoxx, this isn't the channel to discuss this. [07:52] HardDisk: well then wear? [07:52] BHSPitMonkey thank you so much. the oled finally started off and i have you to thank for all the help [07:52] bluefoxx, #ubuntu-offtopic [07:53] !logs [07:53] Channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - Logs for LoCo channels are at http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ - See also « /msg ubotu ircstats » [07:53] jschitto, and evince doesn't use cairo, bad assumption [07:53] RoshanK, no problem [07:53] harddisk, all that did was did a removal for my usb harddisk [07:53] kk [07:53] nickrud: it is using some font mechanism different from the rest [07:53] and also does KPDF [07:53] harddisk , this is the error I am getting it notice that there is a camera hooked up but when I go to get the pictures off it it does this : PTP Invalid Object Handle [07:54] if I keep retrying every once in a while it will work [07:54] but most of the time it gives me that error [07:54] jschitto, could be, it's decended from xpdf iirc [07:54] *descended [07:54] xpdf give me no subpixels too [07:55] hey [07:55] harddisk, did you see my msg ? [07:55] databits, did you run the command I said? [07:55] yes I did [07:55] didn't do anything [07:55] are the broadcom wireless cards generally suported under linux? [07:55] what camera is it? [07:55] i remember i used to hold a shortcut to get a dialog box into which i could enter the name of the program to start it up, ex firefox, but i forgot what the shortcut was [07:55] harddisk, just unmounted and remounted my drive [07:55] know in the past they had horible support [07:55] Clusty, yes. [07:55] i think it had ctrl or f2 or something [07:55] harddisk, it is a fuji finepix 480 [07:55] how to install google earth bin file [07:55] anyone know? [07:56] harddisk, finepix f480 [07:56] sorry [07:56] pawan, http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/ [07:56] HardDisk: without ndiswrapper? [07:56] pawan, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth [07:56] Clusty, there is a bcm driver you may try [07:56] gedit has not been able to detect the character coding. [07:56] Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file. [07:56] Select a character coding from the menu and try again. [07:56] Clusty, sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter [07:56] HardDisk: thanx [07:56] Clusty, as long as your chipset is supported. [07:57] HardDisk: well its for futuire purchases :D [07:57] Clusty, np :) [07:57] ./google-earth.bin in terminal [07:57] HardDisk: looking for a N router and i gotta get card with same chipset for best performance [07:57] harddisk, any idea's ? [07:57] I'm thinking databits, gimme a sec [07:57] HardDisk: way more bradcom routers than atheros [07:58] is there a driver for the new linksys wireless-n PCI card yet?i want to get it as it shall suit my needs for faster internet [07:58] harddisk, ok thank you appreciate do you by chance happen to have pidgin or gaim s/n so I don't have to keep sorting threw all this clutter bro ? [07:58] bluefoxx: what cipset is card? [07:58] i dont know [07:58] bluefoxx: gimme model # [07:59] i didnt buy it yet, itsa 150$ [07:59] databits, what you need is check your camera settings for "pc mode" if there is one. [07:59] pawan: ./file-name.bin in terminal [07:59] databits, some cameras like my olympus has that [07:59] nvm i got it, the command was alt + f2 [07:59] bluefoxx: some more specific info could help [08:00] Clusty: google it>http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=linksys+wireless+n+pci&go [08:00] pawan: make sure file is executable: chmod u+x file.bin [08:00] bluefoxx, since you didn't buy it yet, get a wifi card that is already supported. [08:00] harddisk, like I said it works sometimes and others it dosn't if I keep turning the camera on and off it will eventually pop all the shit on right up but the other times it gives me that error in linux [08:00] databits, I know this error on some camera's, unfortunately this is a HAL issue, to but it bluntly, it's a known bug. [08:00] harddisk, when I have it hook to my lix box my camera says USB on the screen [08:00] to put* [08:01] bluefoxx, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCards [08:01] bluefoxx any idea on how to get googletalk to work in ubuntu (im not talking about just the protocol but the prgram itself, particularly for the mail updates and call feature [08:01] pick out a wifi card that is already supported, if you don't want any hassle. [08:01] harddisk, so I am pretty much SOL then eh [08:01] well i want to get this one as i plan to modifey the antenna to increase the range, and this one would be the best suited to do so with without voiding the warrenty noticibly [08:01] databits, as far as I know, sorry mate. [08:02] bluefoxx, there are cards with removable wifi antennas. [08:02] anyway moving on. [08:02] my wobbly windows misbehave with the snapping [08:02] harddisk, man that is crappy see I want to learn the whole linux thing I am still kinda new with it only been running for a month aprox now but I need to be able to have all this crap working should probably go back to windows for now till i can get a new box built eh [08:03] harddisk, thanks anyways bro appreciate [08:03] i know that, but this one is best suited to my needs, it has the cable and a base for the antennas thus all i need to do is make the dish [08:03] hello i recieved ubuntu 7.10 in the mail but i cannot seem to find the sticker where the product key is [08:03] where is the product key' [08:03] need help with nautilus and lan browse. After the last update before 2 days nautilus lost all icons from lan network even if the network is working manually etc. smb://machine-name/share [08:04] NeoGeo64, lol, you dont need a product key [08:04] NeoGeo64, dude you've come in here before with your trolling. so stop. [08:04] oh i assumed my version of ubuntu was pirated since it didnt ask for a key [08:04] yea it must be... [08:04] lol [08:05] ... [08:05] wtf [08:05] Hmmm [08:05] NeoGeo64: :-D [08:06] gnome runs sluggish on my quad core. why? [08:06] <- rolling eyes @ NeoGeo64 ;-) [08:06] NeoGeo64: maybe it's your graphics card problem [08:07] if any1 who is in lan can confirm if nautilus working ok ? [08:07] NeoGeo64: please stop, or you might be forcefully removed by ops [08:07] !ops | NeoGeo64 [08:07] NeoGeo64: Help! Channel emergency!

[08:07] :) [08:07] on a regular basis [08:07] no im not. [08:08] lalala, having trouple trying to figure out what you are asking [08:08] that wasnt nice... [08:08] NeoGeo64: sounds like a video game fans [08:09] yeah i like the oldschool neogeo system [08:09] mastershrek: nautilus stoped showing icons of lan shares after the last update, but network is working ok [08:09] man, this blows, i cant get my propper screen res or compiz back [08:09] i played alien arena and now BAM, all pair shaped [08:10] lalala, ive never really had good luck with nautilus and network shares, unless the network shares were mounted [08:10] MasterShrek could you help me a bit with echo or something [08:10] lalala: you mean now there's no "network server" icon in nautilus? [08:10] mastershrek: :P [08:11] RoshanK, with echo? echo --help [08:11] can ubutnu share files on a network with an xp machine? [08:11] NeoGeo64, no [08:11] ari_stress: there is but when i press it nothing shows up [08:11] seriously? [08:11] NeoGeo64: No (seriously) :-) [08:11] NeoGeo64: that functionality is only present in advanced software like OS X [08:11] hey all, i'm having some trouble with figuring out the right way to configure a rather exotic network, anybody have a few minutes? [08:11] lalala: maybe you don't have smbclient package installed [08:11] I was going to take out my second hdd with ubuntu installed, But I was wondering if that would ruin the grub configuration? [08:11] I kind of want to get rid of all of that. [08:11] please folks, all ignore the troll [08:11] NeoGeo64, im pretty sure you can [08:12] !ask | gcc [08:12] gcc: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [08:12] im not trolling [08:12] MasterShrek in the bottom most section titles usage http://lapsus.berlios.de/asus_oled.html i was wondering how i would edit the file asus_oled_picture ( i have the path) but to put in code such as this http://pastebin.com/m747dab07 [08:12] ari_stress: when i enter the path manually it works ok etc. smb://machine-name/share/ [08:12] when i move my mouse to the top left corner it activates a compiz plugin i think it's expo, how can i turn that off? [08:12] rdvon: if your second hdd is not used by ubuntu, it will be ok [08:12] RoshanK, without me looking at the links, do you have write access to what you are trying to do? use sudo [08:12] r [08:12] ok [08:13] lalala: oh that sounds nautilus cache is giving trouble again [08:13] rdvon: it is used by ubuntu. that's sort of been my ubuntu hdd. [08:13] ... [08:13] well so i would use sudo and then echo, but how do i put that many lines into it? [08:13] or do i not use echo [08:13] ari_stress: it worked ok for the last 4 months but stoped after the last update before 2 days [08:13] RoshanK, what is the command you are putting in? [08:13] lol. k, im setting up a simulated network environment using virtualbox, but its too large to run on a single machine. as a result, i need to be able to hook several virtual machines together in some pretty strange ways. the tough part is (so far) that I need the virtual machines to not be able to see or communicate with the physical machines on the network [08:14] lalala: just close nautilus, and restart, nautilus will search the network again after reboot [08:14] its in the pastebin link [08:14] gcc: use bridgded networking. all in the same subnet then [08:14] ari_stress: i did it so many times :P [08:14] lalala: i find that troubling too. nautilus has a strange way to cache network [08:14] lalala: oh :( === DarthShr1ne is now known as DarthShrine [08:14] MasterShrek, its in the pastebin link and its a bit long [08:14] ok RoshanK looking now... [08:15] my net is really slow so bear with me [08:15] wols: correct me if I'm wrong- i am most emphatically not a networking guy- couldn't a virtual host then claim an ip on the physical network and recieve its traffic? [08:15] RoshanK, that looks like ascii art to me [08:15] yes [08:15] ari_stress: the last update has something from kernel and samba if i remember :/ [08:15] lalala: then maybe you can use "connect to server" menu in nautilus, to prevent browsing the network [08:15] well thats not really a command [08:15] gcc: depends what the brdige lts through [08:15] in fact not at all === LDS_Trooper is now known as Darth_Gimp [08:16] RoshanK, just make your file in a text editor, save it, and copy it over the existing picture file [08:16] MasterShrek as stated in the first link that i gave ( http://lapsus.berlios.de/asus_oled.html ) i would have to enter in the format followed by the 0s and 1s [08:16] ok [08:16] RoshanK, and yes, it is ASCII art [08:16] literally drawing your picture with 1's [08:16] I need help, when ever I try to run ANY exe with wine, my computer freezes [08:17] RoshanK, ic, well yea just put sudo before echo, youll need write privildeges to it i assume [08:17] wols: thank you, that appears to be what I needed. [08:17] ari_stress: i can work with shares if i put the path manually in nautilus, but im trying to find why doesnt show the icons automatic :/ [08:17] !resolution [08:17] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [08:17] lol @ m1k3, damn windows programs eh? [08:18] MasterShrek, I just installed a new dvd burner and RAM that's when it started freezing [08:18] RoshanK, also use sudo before the cat command [08:18] anyone know how to stop this plugin from activating when i go to the upper left corner? [08:18] Hi, will a 802.11n WLAN card work with Ubuntu 7.10? [08:18] dam updates every time something brokes :/ [08:18] m1k3, could be an issue with the ram, but i kinda doubt it [08:18] fbn: depends on the chipset [08:18] slyder, install compizconfig-settings-manager and disable it [08:19] tried that MasterShrek [08:19] !latest | lalala [08:19] lalala: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. [08:19] wols: it's a card from Intel, at least that's what Dell says [08:19] slyder, its gotta be in there somewhere, there are tons of options [08:19] fbn: brandname is not chipset [08:19] won't let me disable the expo plugin and also when checking what activates it says nothing about activating on screen edge [08:19] MasterShrek, is there some way I can configure wine with this RAM? [08:20] :) [08:20] Sorry if this is the wrong channel.. couldn't resist posting these screens of hardy heron! http://www.techlicious.name.my/2007/12/21/ubuntu-804/ [08:20] fbn: but considering there is no -n standard yet... [08:20] MasterShrek, maybe the ram isn [08:20] t sompatible with wine [08:20] test [08:20] m1k3, i dont know, i really honestly cant see wine crashing because of new ram, that doesnt really sound right to me [08:20] hello everyone [08:20] i will remove all computer from internet so i can have my stability :P [08:20] renyi, failed [08:20] m1k3: maybe the ram wasn't installed right or is defective. very easily possible. use memtest [08:20] =P [08:21] ah good idea wols [08:21] wols: it's a INTENSIFI from broadcom. [08:21] 有中国人吗？ [08:21] so BHSPitMonkey or MasterShrek if the txt file was stored in '/home/roshan/Desktop/asus_oled-0.02/linux.txt' then would the command to use be sudo echo /home/roshan/Desktop/asus_oled-0.02/linux.txt > /home/roshan/Desktop/asus_oled-0.02/linux.txt ? [08:21] wols: but that's still not the chipset, is it? [08:21] RoshanK, no, this isn't really a situation for echo and pipes [08:21] fbn: no. and it can't be both from intel and broadcom at the same time. intels are fairly well supported, broadcoms aren't [08:22] fbn: lspci [08:22] wols: real quick, i'm in over my head here, do you know of a gentle intro to bridging? [08:22] RoshanK, "sudo cp ~/Desktop/asus-oled-0.02/linux.txt /path/to/asus/picture/file" [08:22] BHSPitMonkey so what would I have to do? I can't simply paste a file in there apparently for some reason and it says file is write only [08:22] yok [08:22] fbn, broadcom does not have a good history especially as a laptop card [08:22] gcc: bridging howto [08:22] and with the latest uptates im forced to use compiz couse i have more FPS than with out it :P [08:22] wols: I don't have that hardware yet - I'm considering buying one or not because of support in Ubuntu [08:22] * MasterShrek is out, nite every1 [08:23] jxxxt: ok good to know thanks [08:23] gnite mastershrek [08:23] fbn: then I'd google for the model you want and its linux support [08:23] wols: ok will do that, thank you [08:24] RoshanK, look at the second-to-last paragraph of the readme [08:24] harddisk, hey do you or does anyone else here know how I would go about fully delting and freeing up space on a ntfs drive from within linux [08:24] it is a portable drive that I normaly have hookedup to my computer upstairs but I have a ton of files I had to get off this computer so I could reload [08:25] !ntfs-3g [08:25] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [08:25] BHSPitMonkey thank you i will try that [08:25] RoshanK, it advises how you should write to it; Before doing that command, become root by typing "sudo -i" and hitting enter. [08:25] RoshanK, if you do it their way. My way might not work. [08:25] OK - what *is* the bit torrent application that firefox is using on a default install of gutsy?? [08:25] BHSPitMonkey well where foo.txt is i assume i have to have the directory and location of the txt file right [08:26] Yes, torrents work - no I don't like this app and I am trying to find out where it caches the torrent files, and why isn't there a list of current sessions... [08:26] databits, yea you can do that normally. with ntfs-3g [08:26] Anyone use this BitTorrent (default) handler for torrents? [08:26] RoshanK, foo.txt is the file you've typed your 1's and 0's in, yes [08:26] jgoo, you should be using www.deluge-torrent.org :) [08:26] jgoo: i do, or ktorrent [08:27] RoshanK, and you need to have found out where asus_oled_picture lives. (Don't type .... like in the example) [08:27] Thanks HardDisk, that answers my second question! however, I have two 90% done torrents, and piratebay is giving a 500 server error! [08:27] BHSPitMonkey yes thank you i had the addess from the command he gave earlier in which to find [08:27] gcc: what is the default handler then? and I did a find . | grep torrent and didn't find any cached files in my home directory [08:28] later all [08:28] however, when I reclick the piratebay link - it says if I want to resume session - so *somewhere* it knows [08:28] why it negelects to let me resume without revisiting the original url... :( [08:29] jgoo: bittorrent is default, im not understanding if you're having an issue w/TPB or BT [08:29] gcc: any ideas on where to find the .torrent? I made a clear note to download the files themselves from now on, but these two torrents are bothering me now [08:29] jgoo, try /tmp [08:29] gcc: 'bittorrent' is the name of the software that handles the bittorrent protocol? === DarthShr1ne is now known as DarthShrine [08:29] (be default on ff on gutsy) [08:29] check /tmp, or ~/downloads if you use it [08:29] I'll check tmp, good idea [08:30] jgoo: bittorrent is the canonical implementation, yes [08:30] hrm there is a tracker file here [08:30] how can I launch the canonical bittorrent application, and does it have an interface that shows current torrents? [08:30] double click on the torrent file [08:31] and therein lies the rub [08:31] BHSPitMonkey , when i enter sudo -i cat /Desktop/asus-oled-0.02/linux.txt > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb7/7-6/7-6:1.0/asus_oled_picture it tells me cannot execute binary file, and if i don't include the -i it says it cannot find the file even the it's right there [08:31] h/o i will pastebin whats in terminal to make it easier [08:31] RoshanK, you enter "sudo -i", hit enter, then you will be at a root prompt [08:31] the torrent file is a non-entity seeking political asylum in some backwater cache on my computer system, no idea where it is :/ [08:32] jgoo: interesting. tracker wont turn it up? [08:32] jgoo, sudo updatedb, locate .torrent [08:32] might need to install locate first [08:33] gcc: if I reclick the link in FF it does - but how can I get the app to launch and resume without finding the torrent files (or reclicking them, pb has a 500 error right now) or how can I find the cached torrent files? [08:33] BHSPitMonkey i did that but now it tells me no such file or directory [08:34] gcc: there is no central ui for bittorrent? like utorrent? [08:34] BHSPitMonkey: I even included /home/Roshan right before the entire line of /Desktop [08:34] jgoo: crtl+y in firefox, right click the torrent, then select open containing folder [08:34] BHSPitMonkey: but it still says no such file or directory for the .txt file [08:34] downloads is empty (machine is restarted) [08:34] !bittorent | jgoo [08:34] jgoo: Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [08:35] RoshanK, then you've got it wrong [08:35] how so? [08:35] jgoo: well bt has an interface, but not a cool one. i'd use ktorrent; some say its fugly though [08:35] RoshanK, you can try re-entering that file path, using TAB to finish each folder and file name for you along the way [08:35] however, as I said, the last time this happened, reclicking the link brings up bittorrent dialog asking if I want to resume, and that was *after* I had restarted once before... so I figure it must know what it is in the middle of downloading, so how can I just 'run the bit torrent app' [08:35] BHSPitMonkey, ok [08:36] gcc: what is that interface? bttrack? runbt? gobt? teambt? btFTW? [08:36] jgoo: you can just call bittorrent at the terminal, if you use bittorrent, and if im spelling it correctly [08:37] jgoo, get deluge [08:37] I only get 'bitmap' command completion on that, it was the first thing I tried [08:37] jgoo, it's bt something [08:37] BHSPitMonkey: I will, but first I have two incomplete torrents, and piratebay giving a 500 error :( [08:37] jgoo, tab complete on bt [08:37] I did [08:37] then tried bttrack, btreannounce etc [08:37] but they all take arguments [08:38] hello [08:40] BHSPitMonkey yes you were right, i accidentally entered a hyphen instead of an underscore (d'oh) thank you very much [08:40] heh [08:40] they should really give 'bittorrent' a name, the canonical version that is, so it can at least be talked about in context. even if we call it canonical-bittorrent-client [08:41] Is there a Ubuntu media chat room that talk about media players and related subjects? [08:41] jgoo: yeah, just grab a client, from what I'm seeing the client invocation is a little arcane, as its designed to be run when a browser encounters the right mime type [08:41] or by a double click [08:42] ok, I will wait for pirate bay to come back up, so I can 'regrab' the .torrent files (I have no idea how it knows to resume after that... but it works) and then use deluge torrent for subsequent torrents, cheers [08:43] BHSPitMonkey btw i was wondering why ctrl V won't paste in terminal. is there a different shortcut or do i have to right click and paste [08:43] can someone help me install gparted? [08:43] RoshanK: that is a very good question [08:43] Gcc what Do you use for a bit torrent client ? [08:44] RoshanK: try shift-ctrl-v === chaky_ is now known as chaky [08:44] ibought civilization for linux, but cannot install it, it says unsupported platform : setup/printlibc:3 function not found [08:44] jgoo thank you it works [08:44] so what now [08:44] RoshanK, that does something else entirely in a terminal; So you know, CTRL+C kills a program you're running in that terminal. [08:44] Anybody know why wine freezes when I try to open exe's? [08:44] Using Gutsy, Add/Remove Applications doesn't update (unless I use terminal command). When I go to Apply new applications, the timer runs but nothing is downloaded or installed [08:44] My whole computer locks up [08:44] RoshanK: I think it is a conspiracy... what does ctrl-v do if shift-ctrl-v pastes? [08:45] BHSPitMonkey thank you. so i guess i would have to hold shift along with ctrl c to copy as well [08:45] RoshanK, even more handy: just highlight some text somewhere, and middle-click somewhere else to paste it. [08:45] ok [08:45] that works [08:45] BHSPitMonkey: hehe. actually that is a good point. ctrl-c would be a pain if you started using it reflexively in terminal [08:45] BHSPitMonkey: not as handy, only works for 'terminal' clipboard [08:45] jgoo, probably the cause of many a /quit [08:46] doesn't work for other clipboards [08:46] jgoo, it works throughout X [08:46] oh yeah, my bad [08:46] so it's arguably more handy [08:46] it is indeed, double plus handy. [08:46] though it can be annoying at times, like when you have to highlight something you're trying to replace. [08:47] Using Gutsy, Add/Remove Applications doesn't update (unless I use terminal command). When I go to Apply new applications, the timer runs but nothing is downloaded or installed [08:47] then you have to either use backspace, or highlight-delete-rehighlight-paste [08:47] actually, this is the first thing I tried to stop on my other system [08:47] kept pasting url's into the middle of source code in emacs... [08:47] I need help, when I try running an exe with wine, my computer locks up, this happened when I installed a new dvd burner and some RAM ddr pc3200 1gig [08:47] what type of plugin do I need to see what is at the bottom of this website http://www.leachintl2.com/english/english2/vol6/properties/how7.htm [08:48] m1k3: define locks up? [08:48] gcc, mouse doesn't move no response from keyboard and it my pc freezes [08:48] bed time. (long past due) [08:48] m1k3: crtl+alt+bkspc? [08:48] can't [08:49] good luck with your laptop and with ubuntu RoshanK [08:49] gcc, my computer freezes [08:49] can someone tell me how to use gparted [08:49] thank you so much BHSPitMonkey [08:49] m1k3: are you running compiz? [08:49] gcc, nope [08:49] sam_ gparted i know of was a live cd [08:49] m1k3: what app? [08:49] roshank: you can download it as well with add/remove programs [08:49] gcc, everything, notepad, configuration etc [08:50] roshank do i use it through terminal? [08:50] sam_ i don't know, i have only used it through the livecd [08:50] m1k3: run wine from the terminal and see what output you get before it dies. [08:50] might want to have a pen handy [08:50] gcc, tried that already :( [08:50] Anybody? Using Gutsy, Add/Remove Applications doesn't update (unless I use terminal command). When I go to Apply new applications, the timer runs but nothing is downloaded or installed [08:50] roshank: :( [08:50] m1k3: what do you get? [08:51] gcc, I typed wine cmd.exe [08:51] Let me see again [08:51] yey piratebay is back up [08:51] sam_ i'm still new at this i suggest you ask someone else. sorry [08:51] brendonh you can use synipics [08:51] brendonh: at terminal sudo apt-get update [08:52] or sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [08:52] renyi - that works. When I go back to the list it is up-to-date, but I can't download any new applications [08:53] so, I click on the links, and it resumes session, and then I see the torrent files have been newly placed back into the /tmp folder - so it puzzles me how it can know to resume the session, but not have a way of doing so without a prodding [08:53] mlk3, when I do that all I get is the version and location [08:53] so maybe your apt sources had a problem [08:53] jgoo: its a torrent, it can track chunking. thats how torrent works [08:53] renyi - how would I check sources? [08:54] sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [08:54] then you can run "apt-get update" [08:55] that's ok if no problem reported [08:55] gcc: yes, but it would have to keep a record of where locally it was saving a file, and which torrent that file was... and if it knows all this, why can't it tell me (that is my reasoning). Of course it must know it - but I found it hard to imagine it could know and not tell me *sulk* [08:56] renyi - I get a sources list. I can then update the list. When I select apps to install, they do not download [08:56] mlk3, Did you check with #winehg to see if they could help?? [08:56] jgoo: to know and not to ponder, to see and not to wonder... [08:56] winehq [08:57] Hi... how can I force Nautilus to re-read all the mime-info? [08:57] killall nautilus does it, but doesnt seem like the best way [08:58] renyi - I also cannot close the add/remove window - it just hangs [08:58] chazco: would this be related to changing the application that handles certain file types? like 7zip handling rar files? [08:58] #surabaya [08:59] It would be related to that sort of thing yes (.tmd and .pmd formats) [08:59] does the ubuntu monthly calendar still work, I was trying to add it to my desktop backgrounds by installing the package, I did what it said on the docs online and looked in desktop backgrounds and didn't see the option in there [08:59] I've made a script and a .deb which can changed them, but to make them take effect I have to restart Nautilus [08:59] ah ok. I want to have 7zip show up on context menu... installed and it didn't, nor did it show up in application list... :-/ [08:59] i need to hang out here more often. i was starting to think i knew how to do most things in ubuntu. [08:59] lol. [09:00] Assosiations in Ubuntu are tricky :) [09:00] if hangs so you sources may too slowly to download ,change another [09:01] roshank: are you still there? [09:01] renyi - I am monitoring my internet connection - there is absolutely no traffic from the ubuntu box [09:01] roshank: im burning the live cd for gparted nw [09:01] renyi - how would I change the source [09:02] I sending to you [09:02] Hi.

[09:03] after booting? [09:03] Odo: pinball fantasies? not sure it is on linux, but an amiga emulator would help, I recommend it [09:03] you can use gedit /etc/apt/sources.lst edit the file like this [09:03] hi, i have a problem regarding kde 4 [09:04] is this the right palce to ask questions' [09:04] which file does start my login manager after the booting process?

[09:25] Alchera can you help me with this http://pastebin.com/m7cbb8ebf all i need to know is how i would edit that in the makefile [09:25] ah... it's christmas and night so noone helps here :) [09:25] naxa, i don't know but u can edit grub.conf manually it's not hard to understand.

I've a PCI Express VGA card [09:26] Does anyone know of a workaround for getting adobe flash to work in firefox on an amd64 box? [09:26] OK, this is an interesting issue: installed feisty on a machine with ati 9200, on default install, everything worked, included 3d desktops. then installed gutsy (clean, use all of disk) the display was burned looking, but a ctrl-alt-f1 and back fixed that, a few tweaks later, and it boots now, in 1400x900 but only using the middle of the screen, like it isn't wide screen, the pixel ratio is off or something. [09:26] wathek, no idea. [09:26] oh jgoo that does seem interesting [09:27] Using 'change desktop resolution' doesn't help, but under administration, screens, if I just change the hz from 60 to 75, or back (75 to 60) it resets the display and goes widescreen... [09:27] kaper, it makes me mad I don't wanna run Win XP [09:27] :( [09:27] kaper: thanks [09:27] RoshanK: ok, for a given value of 'interesting' :p [09:27] jgoo btw would you be able to help me with this? http://pastebin.com/m7cbb8ebf all i need to know is how i would edit that in the makefile [09:27] kaper, and did you get some problem while trying to install it ? [09:27] BernardB, $man interfaces [09:27] What do you mean? [09:27] its tiny :) [09:27] Nobody? [09:28] RoshanK: you want to know how you would edit the file? [09:28] or how you would edit the file *from* a makefile? [09:28] jgoo: yeah just that one line where it tells me to change that line or something [09:28] wathek, yes but i booted to safe graphic mode then install no problem [09:28] is the a file called 'Makefile' [09:28] BernardB, u use gnome? [09:28] *there [09:28] xeper: for me it's working out of the box... [09:29] kaper, same for me too [09:29] kaper, I do [09:29] xeper: sorry [09:29] Ubuntu Gutsy [09:29] naxa: Are you on an amd64?

[09:30] kaper, what connection settings, do I have to use, when I want a static ip? [09:31] naxa: Ahhh okay, that could be the difference then. I just got up and running with Ubuntu, and I used the 64-bit install. [09:31] BernardB: man interfaces [09:31] but i dont know how to. you see in terminal im in that directory but i cant see it anywhere in nautilus since its not under Desktop or anything [09:31] menllyos: xchat-gnome is a gnome irc client [09:31] xeper: oh i see... i would be happy to try but i didn't have the time [09:31] BernardB, select >>wired connection>> property [09:31] xchat is windows/kde/gnome [09:31] RoshanK: in terminal "pwd" [09:32] ? [09:32] that tells you where you are and then you can nautilus to go there [09:32] ok thank you wols [09:32] *can use [09:32] wols, what does man interfaces, pretty new on this [09:32] it does show you documentation [09:32] menllyos: xchat-gnome is a simplified version [09:32] not suitable for power users [09:33] and kaper, I've navigated to where you described [09:33] ok i kinda thought that since the regular xchat has much more options ... [09:34] jgoo and wols thank you im building the driver for my cam now [09:34] nice, what cam is it? logitech webcam type? or some nice wxvga wifi night vision robocam? [09:34] menllyos: xchat-gnome follows the gnome philosophy of "don't confuse the idiots with too many functions" [09:35] xchat follows the philosophy of "be sane and carry a large stick" [09:35] jgoo the cam actually came with my laptop (an asus g2s) [09:35] hehe [09:35] jgoo:its sort of integrated [09:35] menllyos: i'll talk to you later at some time probably, but not here [09:35] i may invite you to my chan at some point, but iĺl be peanuthorst - fair warning [09:36] ?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [10:13] ramvi: you should have a password for security [10:13] ompaul - checkinstall is only useful when you have source code / a makefile [10:14] hey guys.... has anyone managed to get ubuntu to run correctly on a toshiba M100 [10:14] chazco, I am of no use to you then - sorry about that [10:14] No problem, thanks anyway :) [10:14] rodgrech: what problem are you having? [10:14] IndyGunFreak: well im using the live cd atm to test it, but it seems not to detect the audio device [10:15] rodgrech: open a terminal and type "lspci" then enter, and see how it identifies your sound device. [10:15] ok stand by [10:15] Pie-rate: I dont want the password for security [10:16] Is it possible to start a seperate X session, without KDE running, and have a command like, say, wine /path/to/program/progname.exe tacked onto the end?

[10:39] HardDisk: I agree [10:39] iNeo: i should add service for NTP tcp and udp? [10:39] Amerio: i don't see why he couldn't, i've got a 500gig external, on a PC 2.5yrs old, and it sees the whole drive. [10:39] and they should stop giving advices period.
