[00:01] jack_sparrow: i noticed someone inquiring about slackware, i gave my opinion [00:01] Yeah, I have 7.12 installed now and it's giving me no end of trouble.

I changed the root to /dev/hda1 and it still chokes on me.. so I'm going to start using the 2.6.20-16-server kernel [00:30] ryushe_: and that doesn't boot with an API error? [00:30] ryushe_: or was that your hand-built one? [00:30] Ftyme, best of luck [00:30] would thinkgs made for preve ubuntu realeases work on gutsy? [00:31] if not how i'll install crysis [00:31] arkanes > any xorg.conf using the nvidia driver comes back with API mismatch atm [00:31] nickrud: ok [00:31] altho the driver itself builds fine [00:31] happy new year to everyone here [00:31] i want exe s in ubuntuuuuuuu [00:31] can you boot with vesa or nv? [00:31] Pelo: no problems, a quick change in menu.lst and it should work fine. I appreciate all the help [00:31] does any1 have crossover installed on gutsy? [00:31] ughhhh anyone know how i can watch full abc online tv show episodes? not working with firefox [00:31] timothy2, ok, we'll remove the custom stuff you put in. Type in a terminal, gconftool --recursive-unset /system/storage/volumes/* [00:31] nickrud, the CD drive also does not show in the icon that there is a CD present, but when I go into properties and click on "volume" I can see and change the mount properties [00:31] would packages amde for prev versions of ubuntu work on gutsy? [00:32] arkanes > yes, vesa works, nv driver states my card is unsupported [00:32] i dont like ubuntu win 3.1 is better [00:32] heh, i installed ubuntu on the ps3, and changed the desktop to fluxbox to save some memory... it's saving memory all right. it's a blue desktop with no access to apps or anything :) last time i remember configuring something like that was 1994 :) [00:32] fenasi, u should get wine to rux exe files [00:32] abc: chroot into the system with your livecd after it's mounted [00:32] http://meineex.ath.cx/ [00:32] nickrud: md5sum: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Input/output error cp: cannot open `/etc/X11/xorg.conf' for reading: Input/output error [00:32] ryushe_: it seems possible that the firmare that's loaded by the nvidia driver is out of date [00:32] nickrud: do I need to reboot? [00:32] I can [00:32] ryushe_: have you tried removing your hand-built one and just using the package? [00:32] q_a_z_steve, try opening it with gedit. No sudo privs, just open it [00:33] nickrud, i typed that in and nothing happened [00:33] arkanes > the nvidia driver is pretty new tho, released 20 dec. 2007, with specific support added for 8800GT cards ;) [00:33] nickrud, meaning that I received no messages in the terminal [00:33] timothy2, you mean you got no output. That's good. Now, eject the cd and reinsert [00:33] hey im having issues with plug-in's on in firefox [00:33] nickrud, ok [00:34] anyone here use the dwm window manager?? [00:34] ryushe_: what I'm thinking is that you might have the latest part of the open source bits but you're using an older version of the binary only firmware [00:34] nickrud, I still get the same error message "Cannot mount volume" as before [00:34] nickrud: I have three xorg.conf.failsafe opened [00:34] q_a_z_steve, not interested in failsafe, just the original [00:34] arkanes > so how would I fix that if the nvidia driver is a freshly compiled binary? [00:34] I installed AWN and when I try to open it, nothing happens, could I have installed it wrong? How do I uninstall it? [00:34] timothy2, ok, next type in a terminal, ah phone. brb [00:35] nickrud, no problem thank you [00:35] happy new year, and have a good linux year.and let linux have a good year, [00:35] ryushe_: I'd have to punt to specific support for the nvidia driver, to make sure you have the lastest binary blob [00:36] timothy2, type in a terminal, tail -f /var/log/syslog . That will monitor the system log, and show us what's happening. Once you've done that, eject and reinstert the cd, and put the text that's spat out on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [00:36] anyone ever experience this with ubuntu?: sound works in ubuntu, but now sound doesn't work in partitioned windows part nor in virtualbox running windows xp? [00:36] arkanes > well, besides getting the latest driver, I don't see what else I can try. The driver compiles fine, so I'm guessing it's not the kernel headers being an issue here :/ [00:36] joanki: you need to install flash 8, and then you need to spoof your user-agent so the ABC website doesn't prevent you just because you're on linux === bewkard is now known as bewkard|afk [00:37] how do i spoorf user-agent, arkanes? [00:37] ryushe_: the nvidia driver is in two parts, theres an open source stubloader and a binary blob (that's why it's restricted and non-free) [00:37] joanki: theres a firefox extension to make it easy [00:37] kitche i am lost in the sause i got the ternimal open what do i need to do, this is not as much like dos as i thought [00:37] q_a_z_steve, can you open the file? [00:37] !flashissues [00:37] 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. [00:37] joanki: just search the extensite for user agent spoof [00:37] abc: mount your drive that your system is installed into [00:37] o [00:37] wow [00:37] that sounds hard [00:38] blame ABC for the second part [00:38] Hi all, I need a little help with this. Trying to gt screen resolution up to 1920x1200. Just installd most recent video drivers, thought that would show more screen resolutions in the list. I have some experience with Unix/Solaris, not much to speak of with Linux/Ubuntu [00:38] they're specifically forbidding you if your browser says you run anything except windows [00:38] wow [00:38] nickrud, ok [00:38] kitche ok i have it monted [00:38] arkanes > I've always compiled the nvidia driver simply by running the nvidia run file, on multiple versions of debian based distros. So far, I've never downloaded anything else BUT the run file [00:38] i just installed unbuntu using the command line interface and the desktop just finished reloading log system, is there anything elsse i have to do? [00:38] !res > Tigey [00:38] timothy2, give me the url, so I can find it :) [00:38] abc: then run chroot /bin/bash [00:39] arkanes > I've cleaned up everything this time, deinstalled X even, still nothing when reinstalling :/ [00:39] why is the ubuntu CD full of windows binaries? [00:39] can anyone help me with dwm?? [00:39] arkanes, is that true for mac's as well? [00:39] nickrud, sorry, I was pasting it when I said that, lol.... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50334/ [00:39] brenix: what do you need help with? [00:39] timothy2, oh, lol [00:39] Thanks Jack_Sparrow [00:39] nickrud: I haven't checked but the denial message says it's windows only [00:39] im trying to configure dwm [00:39] Voyage__: so you can install abiword and such in Windows [00:39] i have it installed and working, I guess im not too familiar with it [00:40] trying to figure out how to customize it [00:40] arkanes, i have flash 9 something is that ok? [00:40] brenix: ok you need to edit config.h in the source code [00:40] wouldnt running IE under wine think they / you are running windows [00:40] bah, I'll just download a fresh copy of 7.10 and install that, about time for a decent reinstall anyways :./ [00:40] Once again, thanks everyone, I'm gunna go run away and hide somewhere [00:40] ok, yea I downloaded a custom one already, just getting bugs when trying to compile it..it may be the config i downloaded [00:41] oh, it does say mac is available [00:41] just linux then [00:41] joanki: do you get this message: "Windows 2000/XP/Vista - Internet Explorer, Firefox [00:41] Mac - Firefox, Safari" [00:41] yes [00:41] brenix: well if it's an older config.h it's not compatiable with the latest dwm [00:41] arkanes > thanks for your time so far dude, I'm off for now [00:41] ah thats possibly why. I used apt-get to install dwm, not sure which version it is though.. [00:42] brenix: you need to get dmenu as well it makes dwm much more useable [00:42] nickrud: sorry chatzilla died [00:42] Can any one help me with booting ubuntu 5.10 breezy badger? Getting a "/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off"...error [00:42] dudes you can't do anything fun on linux! [00:42] and if you do, you gotta know linux REALLLL well [00:42] kitche: thanks, i'll see what I can do [00:42] brenix: well then your running a binary to configure dwm you need to grab the source code and install build-essential [00:42] to trick everything into letting you in [00:42] I have three xorg.conf type files. the only one that opens is xorg.conf.failsafe [00:43] timothy2, I thought the error was happening at the hal layer, but the kernel itself is saying it can't identify the disk. I'm in over my head on that. [00:43] This chat room is pretty fun... [00:43] i plugged in my camera in the computer. where are the photos if i want o browse them?? [00:43] When I try to open AWN it does nothing, what might be the problem? [00:43] ? [00:43] brenix: dwm is configured though it's source code [00:43] and how do i safely disconnect? [00:43] nickrud, hey, thanks a lot for trying [00:43] nickrud, anyone you can rcommend me asking? [00:43] q_a_z_steve, yup, still here. [00:43] np [00:43] wow lots of people on during new years eve [00:44] so ive installed unbuntu literally 7 times and every time (cli, normal, alternate cd) right after the slapsh screen it goes totally black, any ideas [00:44] joanki: with me its nnew years day already [00:44] anyone ever experience this with ubuntu?: sound works in ubuntu, but now sound doesn't work in partitioned windows part nor in virtualbox running windows xp? [00:44] brobostigon, cooooool [00:45] timothy2, I'd change the question, saying that 'the kernel claims that no UDF-fs fileset can be found' and 'Unable to identify CDROM format'. These are known good disks, I can read them in windows? [00:45] joanki: and enjoying a very big glass of red wine and a whiskey [00:45] I'm having problems getting Ubuntu 7.10 to boot, right after i installed it. I get the ubuntu flash screen, and it loads all the way, but as sooon as the GDM would normally pop up, the system hangs and i get a black screen. I did some backdoor-type login from recovery mode and managed to start the GDM but when i try to log in i get the error window that says my session lasted shorter than 10 seconds. I look at the session errors log and i see a GTK+ warni [00:45] nickrud, ok, thanks [00:45] and working on learning some python [00:45] q_a_z_steve, can you open the file with gedit, or are you getting the same error? [00:45] arialth, sounds like whats going on with me, any ideas for a fix? [00:46] nickrud: same [00:46] the kernel claims that no UDF-fs fileset can be found' and 'Unable to identify CDROM format'. These are known good disks, I can read them in windows [00:46] anyone who can sympathize with me? [00:46] q_a_z_steve, sounds like a disk problem to me. I'd boot the live cd, and fsck the partition before I did anything else [00:46] further down the log says: Couldn't save user-dirs.dirs and then could not create gnome accelerators directory '/home/arialth/.gnome2/accels': permission denied [00:46] timothy2, Were they created in Vista? [00:47] Jordan_U, yes they were [00:47] kitche i'm having issues i think cuz it's called "93.2 GB Volume: disk" [00:47] all i really want to do is actually be able to log in, i mean geese [00:47] timothy2: can you run fdisk on it, it may be ablr to give you the format to mount it?? [00:47] arialth: did you set your home directory to read-only? [00:47] or otherwise change persmissions on it? [00:47] nickrud: done. [00:48] brobostigon, fdisk is a program? [00:48] misterblonde2517: i have no clue. i managed to log in as root from a recovery login starting xorg manually and i saw nothing on the system logs that would denote any reason to crash [00:48] timothy2: yes it yes. [00:48] arkanes: i dont think so but let me go check it quickly [00:49] timothy2, IIRC Vista changed something in the way it formatted DVD's, there is a way to get the newer one's to mount though [00:49] brobostigon, I will need to install it first, I'm guessing, because i do not see it yet [00:49] hit waat is a simple avi editor to just cut movies? [00:49] on gutsy [00:49] timothy2: nno fdisk is already there [00:49] Jordan_U, ok, how is that? [00:49] timothy2, I'm searching [00:49] Jordan_U, thank you [00:50] what to do if grub is detecting the wrong hd and is not able to boot? [00:50] brobostigon, ok, i'm looking for it then [00:50] in the ternimal how do i corectaly enter 93.2 GB Volume: disk so it understands? [00:50] Pelo.. Take care... Going to head home and hide out for the night. [00:51] g'night Jack_Sparrow [00:52] timothy2, didn't you say this dvd mounted once already in ubuntu? [00:52] brobostigon, I cannot find it anywhere [00:52] i'm kill my kid... [00:52] ? [00:52] nickrud, no, it has not mounted at all [00:53] hi [00:53] timothy2, ah, I misunderstood that from the start.You mentioned you'd changed the mount point, and then all heck broke loose :) [00:53] timothy2: type fdisk into cli/terminal [00:53] can any body help me in ubuntu system [00:53] nickrud, lol yeah [00:53] i am a new user [00:54] can someone tel me of a simple video editor pls for gutsy?

My home directory is set to drwxr-xr-x [00:55] cheers matir [00:55] brobostigon, I have, I get this message in the terminal - [OPTION]...[DEVICE] [00:56] can some body help me fo ubunu [00:56] ubuntu [00:56] brobostigon, when I type in either fdisk option or fdisk device, I get a message that says could not stat device device or could not stat device option [00:56] timothy2: if you know the device name run it as fdisk /dev/*** [00:56] drnaeem, ask a qustion [00:56] thanks [00:56] thanks pelo [00:56] hi all, i'm trying to read/write test a tape drive i have and i keep getting input output errors. specifically: st0: Error with sense data: <6>st0: Current: sense key: Medium Error; Additional sense: Cannot read medium - incompatible format; Info fld=0x2800 [00:56] i have 2 problems [00:56] brobostigon, where I put in the name of the device where you put ***, right?

[00:58] Jordan_U, ok, sounds good [00:59] yes,the window which comes is larger than my monitor [00:59] timothy2, In a terminal run "sudo mkdir /media/udftest" then try to mount with "sudo mount -t udf -o ro /dev/cdrom /media/udftest" [00:59] I need help with remote desktop, I can't even connect when I'm on the same PC (vncviewer localhost), it keeps on giving me the Connection refused (111) error. :[ It connects to the other PC fine and can view the desktop, but I can't view it's desktop from another pc. Help. [01:00] drnaeem, this is where I get confused, either you are talking about the destkop area or a single window is bigger then the monitor , if a single window for an app is bigger just resise it , not sure how to fis the otehr proble, might be athat you need to set your resolution lower [01:00] matir is there one for avi files pls?

For some reason, i get the ubuntu splash screen, and when it finishes loading and the GDM would normally pop up, the system hangs at a black screen!!! I managed to log in by starting the GDM from a recovery console, and when i logged in i got the GTK+ error: "This process is currently running setuid or setgid. This is not a supported use of GTK+." This repeats twice and then i get the followong line [01:01] !pastebin [01:01] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [01:01] 2nd problem is that there is no sound on utube,pic comes but no sound [01:02] I seem to have broken ubuntu. When I try to boot up my laptop it gets stuck after it displays "* Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [ OK ]". It never gets to the desktop. [01:02] arialth, fresh install ? try with the alternate install cd , it is usaly less fussy during the instalation [01:02] I need help with remote desktop, I can't even connect when I'm on the same PC (vncviewer localhost), it keeps on giving me the Connection refused (111) error. :[ It connects to the other PC fine and can view the desktop, but I can't view it's desktop from another pc. Help. [01:02] Zarxrax your probably at the login prompt most likely [01:02] i forgot how to do this ... downloaded flock, it went to archive manager as default, and i thought then all i had to do was 'extract' b ut that din't seem to work ... any ideas? [01:03] Zarxrax: for some reason Ubuntu puts the login: before * Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [ OK ] [01:03] no, it doesnt get to the login prompt [01:03] i just see a black screen with some text [01:03] timothy2, Did that work? [01:03] Zarxrax: your at the login prompt you just don't know it [01:03] Zarxrax: type your username and password and I bet you login [01:03] Pelo: it is a fresh install, and fresh from the alternate cd too [01:03] ...kiche i am so lost [01:03] timothy2, nvm, just saw your last post [01:04] Hey, I'm getting CPU I/O wait spikes on Gutsy and I can't figure out the cause. :/ [01:04] Jordan_U, lol [01:04] ok i tried typing them in... nothing [01:04] they just diaplyed on the screen [01:04] displayed [01:04] is there software that will allow me to open a close drives with just the click of a buton? [01:04] arialth, you might want to boot the command line and reconfigure x [01:04] timothy2, Are you running Ubuntu 7.10 ? [01:04] Pelo: already ran sudo Xorg -configure [01:04] Jordan_U, yes [01:05] arialth, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:05] Pelo: i will try it i second [01:06] arialth, when in doubt just use thedefault answer provided or leave blank [01:06] Pelo: please note that I WAS able to run the Xserver from a root recovery console [01:07] anyone: I got a USB persistent installation running. When I now use the ubuntu menu to boot grub.exe (which in turn boots dos/bartpe recovery disks) it runs these recovery disks much much slower [01:07] any suggestions? [01:07] arialth, noted, but root gets to do a lot of things regular users don't [01:07] how do i get the terminal to reconize spaces in a name? [01:07] <^Tom_> put a backslash before the space [01:07] abc: "use quotes" or\ escape\ it [01:08] <^Tom_> this\ is\ a\ filename\ with\ spaces [01:08] <^Tom_> or "this is a filename with spaces" [01:08] thanks [01:08] Pelo: I see. How much memory should I give the video card? its an nvidia geforce go 6150 i believe with 64mb. *this is a laptop if that makes any difference* [01:08] !bluetooth [01:08] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [01:09] arialth, you specify the amount of memory already allocated to the card in the bios or on the card itself [01:09] Jordan_U, did you get my last message? [01:09] pelo: is there any way to figure that out WITHOUT rebooting? Not only that, i have pheonixbios and it doesnt let me see things like that === quickjelly is now known as QuickJelly [01:09] timothy2, yes, Can you pastebin the contents of /etc/fstab ? [01:09] arialth, if this is an nvidia card you might want to use the vesa driver until you get the gui and can install the restricted driver or get the binairy driver runing [01:10] Jordan_U, yes, one moment [01:10] i got logged in but its at a command prompt. How can I tell it to start gnome? [01:10] arialth, check the comp's documentation, but if you were told 64 megs at some point and haven't mess with it , put 64 meg in now [01:10] kitche ok i did that and now the terminal just has a ">" [01:11] Pelo: a little late for switching from NV to VESA but if this doesnt work i will try it. i left the vid mem up to auto [01:11] I need help with remote desktop, I can't even connect when I'm on the same PC (vncviewer localhost), it keeps on giving me the Connection refused (111) error. :[ It connects to the other PC fine and can view the desktop, but I can't view it's desktop from another pc. Help. [01:11] Jordan_U, here it is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50339/ [01:11] arialth, good call [01:11] Zarxrax, "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start" or to go strait to gnome without re-logging in just "startx" ( do not run startx as root! ) [01:12] Pelo: its not that i dont know what im doing, but i've never had these problems before... [01:13] can ne one pich up where hitche left off? my son was screwin with the comp tryin 2 get dule monitors he messed up the resulition now when i start up it goed black at the loading screen sayin not supported [01:13] i'm on a live disk right now [01:14] arialth, I'm glad one of us know what he's doing :-) [01:14] timothy2, I would like you to try something, but remember how to put things back to default afterward, run "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" and put a "#" at the begining of the last line, save the file and try re-inserting the disk [01:14] Jordan_U, how do I put things back afterward? [01:14] Jordan_U, just remove the # ? [01:15] timothy2, Yes [01:15] Pelo: mouse protocol: what to use? I have ImPS/2 or ExplorerPS/2... i think i hit something wrong because i wanted a usb mouse... i selected /dev/input/mice i believe [01:15] arialth, can't you go back ? [01:15] pelo: no back option... [01:15] Jordan_U: ok it says starting gnome display manager, but then nothing happens. If I do startx, then it says fatal server error: no screens found [01:16] timothy2, In almost all configuration files a "#" means "ignore anything on this line" or "ignore anything after this character" it's basically the same as removing the line but easier to set back [01:16] pelo: its the reconfig menu for people who dont look back [01:16] arialth, you can always do it again [01:16] Zarxrax, What happened before you were thrown to a terminal? [01:17] arialth, anyway all this does is create the xorg.conf file, and a few extra bits, you can edit those manualy if you need to after for smallish things [01:17] well, the last thing that happened was I changed the desktop wallpaper, and then I tested out the suspend or hibernate functions, the laptop locked up, and then I have to force it to power down [01:17] !ru [01:17] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [01:17] !external [01:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about external - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:17] Hey, I'm getting CPU I/O wait spikes on Gutsy and I can't figure out the cause. :/ [01:18] !usb boot [01:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about usb boot - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:18] !botabuse | ilikebuntu000 [01:18] ilikebuntu000: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot).

[01:19] Jordan_U, would making dev/hda read and writable do the trick?

Help. [01:21] doesn't bt integrity checking do the hashing after writing to disk? [01:21] arialth, you can look that error up in the forum if you stil get it but I think the reconfigure probably took care of it , also do not forget to try the vesa driver [01:21] Sometimes when selecting a screen saver in Ubuntu 7.10 the gnome desktop will grash and restart to the login screen. I'm using a nvidia 7950GT card with the restricted drivers... dual screen. Anyone know if this is a known bug or is it a problem with my install? [01:22] Pelo: yeah it didnt boot again. it crashed. im gonna try and do another reconfigure... i looked up the gtk+ error but i did not find anything really helpful [01:22] Jordan_U, I will need to leave soon, do you think I'll have enough time to finish? [01:22] hey can someone help me? I just installed Frostwire on gutsy and I can't find where the files are and how to open the program. [01:22] murf3326, try removing the second screen and see if it stops [01:22] is their an eays way to upgrade from 32bit Gibbon to 64bit? (please, state my name in response so I'll see it) thank you to anyone that knows the answer and helps [01:22] timothy2, Two more things to try and then I am out of ideas anyway :) [01:22] Jordan_U, ok, thanks [01:23] hi. i have som little problem.... i wanted to change my ubuntu skin via emerald... so i downloaded a skin from gnome-look.org and put it into the emerald theme manager.... but i can just aktivate it via 'emerald --replace' in the console.... and when i close the terminal...my windowdecorator are gone...(with die Close, minimize etc. buttons..). And i cant undo it...the 'normal' skin is gone too now... [01:23] Jordan_U, do you want me to reset the fstab file? [01:23] Aishiko, reinstall only, you can't upgrade from one architecture to another [01:23] How do I find an installed program? [01:23] nickrud, thank you [01:23] timothy2, In that line you commented, copy and paste it ( uncommented ) and change "udf,iso9660" to "auto" ( your fstab will then look like this : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50341/ ) [01:23] Rockoman, dpk -L | grep /bin [01:23] woohoo! you know you're a nerd when you feel the satisfaction of running an SNES game on your PS3 [01:24] hi [01:24] dox: when you close the terminal, i believe it kills any child processes the terminal was running unless they detached first. What this means is that, even though you ran emerald, when you shut the terminal, it killed emerald too [01:24] my son screw up gusty he was tryin to get dule monitors, long story short he messed up the resulotion @ the loading screen it now goes black sayin not supported and goed black, i'm on a live disk [01:24] Jordan_U, then reinsert? [01:24] I can't figure out how to open it ;/ [01:24] what's the best PNG optimizer? [01:24] arialth when i close the terminal, my hole bars(close,minimize etc) are gone :> [01:25] Rockoman, do you know the package name? [01:25] Dox: try pressing alt+F2 and running metacity [01:25] that normally works for me [01:25] Hello I wish you all a great 2008 [01:25] timothy2, If that does not work then instead of replacing it with "auto" try removing the "iso9660" but keep the "udf" ( get rid of the comma ) * this will break mounting regular DVD's and CDs * [01:25] No, it opened staight up from Firefox. [01:25] abc: does CTRL-ALT-+ switch to another resolution for you? [01:25] i didnt save it to disk [01:25] il3dsm: I'll give that a shot thanks. [01:25] and it installed [01:26] Rockoman, that's not very clear ;( [01:26] i just dont know how to open the program ;/ [01:26] Hi all :) [01:26] Rockoman: which program? [01:26] Frostwire [01:26] Joelito: :*********** [01:26] timothy2, Look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50341/ ( don't change the commented line itself because you want to be able to know what was in it in case it needs to be reset ) [01:26] I'm wanting to boot Ubuntu from a USB stick with encrypted FS. I have managed to find a debian one, stops short of a GUI, just std. text install. I'm trying to add gnome gnome-core and x-window-system. I would have preferred Ubuntu (1) Anyone know of a guide to install ubuntu this way? OR (2) Can I now convert the stick to Ubuntu with a dist-upgrade?? [01:26] arialth that works, but after the next restart it's gone, right? [01:26] Which is a good IDE for wx? [01:27] Rockoman: it should be on applications->internet [01:27] bitterbug, yes it does THANK YOU sooo much! [01:27] Rockoman: ins't it? [01:27] dox, if you run it as metacity --replace , it should be permanent [01:27] It's not because I didn't install from the Add/Remove menu [01:27] dox: it shouldnt be. Next time, try running emerald --replace from Alt+F2 [01:27] Rockoman: me neither [01:27] abc: awesome :) [01:27] brif8, No on #2 [01:27] Rockoman: but it is there for me [01:27] Weird ;/ [01:27] i found some stuff i couldnt find on normal searches with the factoids page! nice collection guys [01:27] Rockoman: yeah weird :S [01:27] Jordan_U, ok, I've done all of that get that error message [01:28] i hope it works. got a new external id like to boot from [01:28] Rockoman, you can try alt-f2 frostwire [01:28] happy new yr! [01:28] should the PS3 sixaxis controller work by default in USB mode? [01:28] timothy2, You get the same error message?

[01:40] arialth, What happens when you run startx as your user? [01:41] scragar: You have to grab the SVN version, the one in the repositories is broken. [01:41] jordan_u: from a normal user, the prompt politely informs me i do not have permission to run the xserver [01:41] JockeTF: ah, ok. thank's for that [01:41] hrmm why cant i view video's on ubuntu video [01:41] You're welcome. ^_^ [01:41] arialth, What happens when you run "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start" ? [01:41] later folks [01:42] pelo: cya thanks for the help [01:42] Can anyone tell me if its possible (advisable) to install 2 different GWM's (eg - Gnome and xfce), and choose which to use at boot time? [01:42] aorthr33: possible and not a problem at all [01:43] aorthr33, people do it all the time, they choose at the login screen [01:43] jordan_u: i am presented with the login screen. I have gotten this far by myself, but when i try to log in i get an error [01:43] DJ, can you point me to some resources that coudl help with the 'how-to' part? [01:43] or nick? [01:44] aorthr33, simply install xfce4 , then when you are at the login screen: hit the options button, then session and choose [01:44] thanks nick...do you know if you can use Compiz w/xfce? probably won't, but still curious. [01:44] hi :) [01:44] aorthr33, no, I'm not sure, but I would think so. [01:45] arialth, What error ? [01:45] Have a good new years folks. [01:45] Is there any way to use two mice with two cursors? [01:45] Lr5_: Essentially, no [01:46] Lr5_:you could use two computers and monitors [01:46] haha [01:46] Lr5_, Yes, but it's experimental [01:46] thor: or two X servers? [01:46] I heard that works too [01:46] but not in one? [01:47] Lr5_, And almost no applications support it [01:47] anyone here know how to get a nvidia 8800 gt working on gutsy? [01:47] Lr5_:yeah...you could use NX or VNC to log in [01:47] Hi, I just setup Xubuntu via mini.iso and it's a dual boot (XP+xubuntu) .. currently grub defaults to Xubuntu.. can I change that? I'm looking in the /etc/ folder, and it only has /etc/grub.d which contains 1 file: memtest+ or something.. [01:47] !nvidia [01:47] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:47] jordan_u: the error log (~/.xsession-errors) has this: Gtk-warning **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid. This is not a supported function of GTK+. You must create a helper program instead." two times, and then at the end: "/etc/gdm/xsession: Beginning session setup... Can't save user-dirs.dirs Could not create gnome accelerators directory '/home/arialth/.gnome2/accels': permission denied" [01:47] yanger:change the default number in /boot/grub/menu.lst [01:47] how about some application name help. i'm looking for an application that will allow me to mount an ISO (like daemon tools in windows), so I can quit popping in the CD when I add software. [01:48] yanger: be careful editing that file....make a backup [01:48] erm arialth, you can use a pastebin :p [01:48] Jordan_U: if it was just generating the clicks somewhere, why'd applications need to support it? [01:48] sudoking: sorry about that i had no idea it was that long.. [01:48] Lr5_, Well, they wouldn't support two cursors in one application [01:48] =P [01:49] Lr5_, Multiple apps with one cursor each would work fine ( but is still experimental ) [01:49] kk [01:49] i have a fresh install of ubuntu on my desktop i just went to ubuntuvideo website to see some stuff [01:49] and it wont play the video's [01:49] arialth, Have you been messing around with permissions at all?

[01:50] there video's on ubuntuvideo [01:50] Nostahl: do you have totem-mozilla installed? [01:50] yanger: no...it will be read at the next boot no problem. If you ONLY change the default number, even if you get it wrong...it only determines the default and the menu will still work so yu can get in and change it [01:50] Ov3rKiLL, ctrl+alt+F1 ( f7 to go back to X ) [01:50] thanx [01:50] www.ubuntuvideo.com [01:51] hi; I switched some 50 machines to ubuntu (linux), from winxp in our lab, and some of them are having problems after a cold start, ie: i need to force-reload the networking several times, before the machines get a stable ip on the lan. But the same machines work fine when booted into winxp [01:51] thor: all i needed to know.. thank you! [01:51] im trying to install the new 8800gts and when i use gdm stop its doesnt work [01:51] Ov3rKiLL: or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm to kill gdm [01:51] Nostahl: strange, works for me and looks like a flash video [01:51] Actually, it is... [01:51] yanger:you will need to use su to change it....can't write to it as a user...need root permission [01:51] no im trying to install the nvidia driver [01:51] Ov3rKiLL: so kill gdm like I told you to [01:51] im getting like 4 desktops on one screen but they are overlapping and its all screwd up lol [01:51] Nostahl, Looks like they're all youtube vids to me [01:51] yea ill try that brbg [01:51] You know what's fun? Using BitchX and eLinks infront of your friends. [01:52] i can watch video's on youtube [01:52] but not on ubuntuvideo heh [01:52] Nostahl: to what part it gets before it stops working? [01:52] saxartis1: Espessially if it's in a school. ;) [01:52] Does it say "plugin needed", or goes to loading video part but doesn't continue? [01:53] it dosnt even show the videos [01:53] JockeTF: you've got it! [01:53] just a white page where there video's should be [01:53] Nostahl, Screenshot? Are you using gnash or flash?

[01:54] Chappy: Hello. :) [01:54] i checked synaptic and i have flash plugin for mozilla [01:54] Chappy: Happy new year! [01:54] Except, eLinks is *not* useful for testing your new graphics on your site. :p [01:54] Nostahl: to tell which flash you use, write "about:plugins" to the address bar in Firefox [01:54] Nostahl: try reinstalling it then [01:54] is gnash good enough to use? i never got it to work at all [01:54] Nostahl: flash is broken right now, ...maybe thats the issue. [01:54] larson9999: me neither -.- [01:54] i rightclick where a video is and it says quite gnash [01:54] could you help me? I have a problem with smb. The windows asks for login name and password - how can I turn it off? [01:54] IndyGunFreak, flash isn't broken. [01:54] saxartis1: Hehe, but it's a very nice browser anyways, espesially with colors and mouse support. :) [01:54] larson9999: Gnash doesn't work on some games at least [01:54] Greetings all. Anyone know where the default codec folder is specified for an MPlayer build installed through aptget [01:54] larson9999: it was... [01:54] !flash [01:54] 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 [01:54] 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. [01:55] larson9999: see above [01:55] Nostahl, Ahh, unless you are personal friends of RMS you probably want flash instead of Gnash :) [01:55] rflol [01:55] jordan_u: any ideas? [01:55] haha [01:55] IndyGunFreak, the installer is broken but flash isn't [01:55] the installation is broken... [01:55] Chappy: I have no idea, sorry, someone else might know though.

I have to go to the console personally to do the force-reload [01:56] i keep trying cause i want gnash to work great but i really didn't get anything to work with it [01:56] Chappy: darn emoticons...that is username(colon)passwd [01:56] I am having trouble finding out if an audigy 2 will work on alsa, I know audigy 2 zs will, but what about audigy 2?

[02:01] there's also kvirc [02:01] .. its ok, [02:01] IndyGunFreak: how do I cache my stuff without using squid? xP [02:01] XxValetexX: no clue [02:01] ;-\ [02:01] Flughafen, according to http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_169.07.html , you have to use the lastest from nvidia [02:01] XxValetexX, What are you trying to cache? [02:02] Flughafen, true for 32bit as well [02:02] Jordan_U: pages on the web that I have to access frequently [02:02] Any programmers in the room? I'm looking to get started programming GTK+ apps. I only moved to Linux full-time a couple of months ago but before then I was fairly accomplished with C#, Java, PHP and even C when I needed it... So yeah, I'm just looking for opinions on where to start =) [02:02] nickrud. thanks [02:02] Jordan_U: the amount of images make it slow, plus I dont have the best of connections ;\ [02:02] hello [02:02] could you help me with smb? [02:04] <|zOap|> happy new year [02:04] is there some away to update the fstab automatic?! [02:05] test [02:05] |zOap| happy new year hohohoho :) [02:05] dolphin_noel: how do you mean? [02:06] Oli`` well i need to update my fstab ... to load some new os in one new partition :x [02:06] i think it is the fstab :x [02:06] the sda4 ins`t it in fstab [02:07] you want to mount the new partitions at boot? [02:07] dolphin_noel: if you want to boot the new os you don't need to update fstab, you need to update /boot/grub/menu.lst [02:07] how do you enable login via xdcmp in xubuntu? [02:07] thor well i allready use the update-grub to update the menu.lst and nathing that the problem :X [02:08] and the fstab looks the same to no sda4 in fstab :X [02:08] larson9999:don't use xdcmp...use ssh with X forwarding...much more secure [02:08] Hey can anybody tell me where to find the file ".Xdefaults" referenced in the emacs manual? It says it's usually in the home directory, but not for me in Feisty. [02:08] thor, thanks thor. but that wasn't the question. [02:08] rkj: might have to make it it's a hidden file [02:09] does anyone know how to keep pidgin from changing a colonD to a smiley face? [02:09] my 'ttyx's wont work (Ctrl+Alt+Fx) eg tty1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1) [02:09] larson9999:he said he wanted to load a new os into a new partition...if he wants to boot that os... [02:10] kitche thanks but wouldn't it already exist? and if not, do you know where to find ".Xresources" (also referenced in the emacs man page)? [02:10] rkj: it will be in ~ as well [02:10] thor, i'm talking about my question. how do you enable login via xdcmp? edit the conf file or is there a gui? [02:10] kitche neither one is there. [02:11] rkj: usually those files don't exist unless you make them there is a default one on the system but you want to make the file in /home [02:11] happeh nef yera [02:12] when i type openvpn, shall i keep the terminal open , or can i close the terminal anytime ? [02:12] kitche that's great. So I can just create it with the emacs settings I want and nothing else? [02:12] I don't understand why ubuntu doesn't support dialup modems out of the box, and according to the dialup modem howto page on the wiki, they're a huge pain in the ass to set up. I live in a rural area, and while I may have a t1, most of my neighbors do not have the means to get anything more than a dialup modem, since DSL and cable are not available. It doesn't make sense not to support them, or at least include a tool to set them up quic [02:12] larson9999: http://klomdark.servebeer.com:8081/MessageBase2/ReadMessage.aspx?MsgNum=2003 [02:12] <[digit]> how can i change the brown color when you login to black? ive changed all the settings i can see... [02:13] [digit]: you mean desktop background once login done? [02:13] thor, that's for ubuntu. that dialoge isn't in xubuntu. or at can't find it anyway. [02:13] [digit]: change the gdm theme... http://www.gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=150 [02:13] I am having trouble with connecting to the internet using my ubuntu. Can any1 help. [02:13] larson9999: silly me...I thought this was #ubuntu [02:14] <[digit]> Oli``: i did, im using a black theme [02:14] deostroll, we need some details, what kind of connection ? [02:14] <[digit]> enyc: no, i changed the background image and color to black [02:14] <[digit]> well, the image isnt all black :P [02:14] thor, sure. xubuntu is dead. [02:14] larson9999, what is the question ? [02:14] [digit]: yes but i need to know if you are referring to after login is complete? [02:15] <[digit]> before login is complete [02:15] pelo: I have a cable modem, and I think its wire connects to a serial link port. [02:15] Pie-rate: it does support quite a few [02:15] [digit]: hrrm not sure then [02:15] How do I install realplayer? [02:15] <[digit]> really kills the flow [02:15] It's not in my package database [02:15] xcthulhu: i think it may be a canonical-partner repository thing [02:15] deostroll, do you have to do anyting in windows to get connected to the internet ? I mean after an install , not just when you boot [02:16] Pelo, curious how to enable loggin in to xubuntu box via xdmcp. if there's a gui or just the conf file [02:16] larson9999: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/ [02:16] !realplayer | xcthulhu [02:16] xcthulhu: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [02:16] larson9999, that question I cannot answer , sorry [02:16] larson9999, did you give the forum a search ? [02:16] Pie-rate: it's just there are two "sorts" of dial-up modem... 1 which does everything like a proper modem should and then a much cheaper kind which is just a small audio-io chip and pci bridge that requires software drivers to do everything (otherwise known as a winmodem). For the first sort, Linux is pretty decent; for winmodems it's a little scratchier [02:16] pelo: windows automatically connects. I don't know how. This cable modem is simply plugged in. [02:16] if im on dapper with libc6 2.3 and i need 2.4 how do i upgrade [02:17] hi [02:17] pelo: windows is able to detect this. But ubuntu is not... [02:17] deostroll, then ther should be no issue in ubuntu, did you have to / or did you setup a static ip at some point ? in windows ? [02:18] Oli``: the problem is there isn't really an intuitive interface for getting them working, and if they don't work you can't get online at all. [02:18] kinda OT, but what happens when you cover the hole that says "do not cover" on a hdd? [02:18] Pie-rate: there is though, isn't there? [02:18] pelo: yes I've tired that on ubuntu. Copied the same detials from windows. Static ip addr and stuff. And still ubuntu does not detect. [02:18] hdevalence, overheating ? [02:19] Pelo: that it? [02:19] deostroll, did you restart the comp after ? [02:19] the gentoo docs come to the rescue again! :) [02:19] hdevalence, Iwould expect that is themain thing [02:19] Pie-rate: System->Networking, double click the modem connection, click enable, wang in your details and it's done [02:19] Oli``: tbh, i've only tried once, but i wasn't able to get it working, and most people who'll be trying to get a dialup modem working will not be too handy with computers. IMO, it should just work out of the box [02:19] Oli``: yeah, that's what i tried [02:19] hdevalence: it might effect the airflow that creates the bernoulli effect, allowing the heads to float above the platter... maybe :) [02:20] affect, even [02:20] larson9999, thereis a great deal linux info that crosses distro bariers [02:20] Pelo: I may have. However anything I ping does not ping... [02:20] Pie-rate, if you think getting dialup working on a win modem is bad now.... :) [02:20] rkj: if you wish [02:20] pelo: I'll try restarting and get back. Signing out. [02:20] deostroll, besides the ping, can you get any internet activity ? browsing maybe ? [02:20] i want to try submerging an old computer in oil, right, and i gather that filling the interior of the hdd with oil is not a good idea. [02:21] hdevalence, I assme you want to do this for cooling purposuse ? [02:21] Pie-rate: believe me when I say it's no issue from a decent modem. WinModems are a complete waste of time and space (even for Windows) [02:21] i download a rar file and click the option open with while saving after downloading i cant see that file how to store it on desktop [02:21] submerging the mainboard should be okay, but i wouldn't want to do it with any peripherals :) [02:21] Oli``: heh [02:21] hopefully no 1337 speak like last time [02:21] :\ [02:21] i download a rar file and click the option open with while saving after downloading i cant see that file how to store it on desktop [02:22] Pelo, yes i know. i've been using linux for 10+ years. i was just curious if xubuntu had a gui to enable xdmcp so i could tell him how to get to the gui rather than change it myself. [02:22] Pie-rate: is the modem being detected and shown in the device manager thingy? [02:22] Oli``: i'm not sure if the one i tried before was a winmodem or not [02:22] is there a way to get grep to replace patterns? [02:22] Pelo: that, and also it would look cool. Mostly then it would be silent. And look cool. [02:22] i have my wwireless setup on my laptop, but i have to type "sudo moddprobe ndiswrapper" to get it to wwork; how can i make this happen automatically at boot? [02:22] johnny_: use sed [02:22] hdevalence, I would recommend you do not put anyting with moving parts in any kind of liquid [02:22] sed confuses me [02:22] hdevalence, there are probably forums and channel for mods you can ask in [02:22] Oli``: eh, i don't have one in front of me right now, i was just about to sell a computer to the local market and thought about how they probably have dialup and felt like venting [02:23] johnny_: http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html [02:23] i download a rar file and click the option open with while saving after downloading i cant see that file how to store it on desktop [02:23] thanks [02:23] Pie-rate: I see =) [02:23] johnny_: that's one's very good trust me [02:23] and what is going on with plf? [02:23] alexbOrsova, put it in menu >system > prerfs > session or in /etc/init.d but i'm not familiare with the syntax and stuff [02:23] i thought plf died. [02:23] i got a new laptop and im trying to install w32codecs and libdvdcss2 and its saying its not there [02:23] Pelo: In any case, it would be a junker PC anyways [02:24] darn. if only santh has waited for a reply [02:24] Pelo: thanks [02:24] johnny_: in what? [02:24] hdevalence, you do know not to do this with just any kind of oil right ? [02:24] Pelo: I was going to use mineral oil [02:24] dapper [02:24] !codecs > johnny_: [02:24] i guess im just gonna have to upgrade [02:24] !dvd | johnny [02:24] johnny: 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 [02:24] hdevalence, I would google a lot before I do this if I were you [02:25] Pelo: yeah [02:25] has anyone tried to dist-upgrade from dapper to edgy? [02:25] * Pelo knows that mineral oil is a very good diaretic but not sure about a cooling fluid [02:26] johnny_, the files might no longer be available [02:26] !upgrade | johnny_ [02:26] johnny_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [02:26] i've been people use mineral oil before [02:26] seen even [02:26] * hdevalence goes into a store and asks "Can I get 10 litres of mineral oil?" [02:26] johnny_, i dist-upgraded every time up to and including gutsy. think i will clean install hardy though [02:26] johnny_, but I recommend you get the alternate install cd for edgy or the dvd and upgrade using that [02:26] if they ask why you need it, tell them you have a constipated elephant. [02:26] no problems larson9999 ? [02:26] wow.. so i had this problem of not being able to access the windows network at home, I backed up my original smb.conf file then messed with it a while, after a minute I couldn't even see the networks anymore, I restored the smb.conf and now everything works perfectly [02:26] hdevalence: You putting your computer in a fishtank with mineral oil? [02:27] cptR3D, don'T you just hates when that happens [02:27] why are they constantly upgrading the entire os [02:27] genii: Not at the moment. My main box is a laptop, anyways. It'd be an old box if I did. [02:27] johnny_, nope. but that doesn't mean you won't :) [02:27] Pelo: haha hey at least it works [02:28] johnny_, to keep us happy? you don't have to upgrade that often if you don't want. [02:28] hdevalence: I hear it works well but I don't want to risk my good box. Besides would be messy to clean up if you want to yank it out after [02:28] johnny_, ubuntu is a work in progress, you can think of all the upgrades as betas on the way to the lts which occurs every two years or so , you will probably be able to upgrade from dapper to hardy directly if you can wait 4 monts [02:28] i need rooot access to run "modprobee":; how can i do that when adding a new entry in sessions [02:28] genii: my thinking as well. [02:28] alexbOrsova, prefix it with sudo [02:29] johnny_, theres other distros if you want to upgrade the distro every 5 or 10 years :) [02:29] like debian [02:29] anybody know how to restore tty shortcuts on gutsy? [02:29] i like gentoo myself [02:29] but won't that require me to enter a passwd? [02:29] * Pelo steps away from johnny_ [02:29] alexbOrsova, no it will just run the command as root [02:30] ok, tthanks [02:30] gentoo is like those monks who like to flagellate themselves. [02:30] alexbOrsova, but for a service like modprobe , init.d is probablhy better [02:30] johnny_, i used to run gentoo. but i got tired of all the compiling so i switched to lfs [02:30] i love that joke [02:30] lfs ? [02:30] linux from scratch [02:30] I don't know the joke , I'm too new at this [02:30] also, by the way, anybody know where I could get a small embedded motherboard less powerful than the via ones but with a bunch of SATA connectors? [02:30] larson9999, got it [02:31] i love linux chans [02:31] i get computer jokes [02:31] hdevalence, #hardware [02:31] Pelo: ooh, excellent! [02:31] johnny_, that one was just too 1337 for me that's all [02:32] what's a good program to condense video files? Kino seems to only export as one size (720 x 480 usually) [02:32] i went away for a couple months and i get back on the net and now i dont even recognize ubuntu [02:32] feisty fawn [02:32] Greevous, try avidemux [02:33] johnny_, wait until hardy [02:33] i just installed the nvidia driver and cannot enable desktop effects, how can i fix this? [02:33] Flughafen, you could try asking in #compiz-fusion but you probabaly need opengl enable, fglx or aiglx or something [02:34] Pelo: is avidemux a gui app? [02:34] Greevous, yup [02:34] * Pelo is a WIMP he uses nothing but gui aps, cli makes him cry [02:35] *gasp* [02:35] unravel, I would never confess to this in #debian you understand , and I would apreciate you keeping it to yourself [02:36] does anyone know how how to "modprobe ndiiswrapper" at startup [02:36] pelo: no luck. [02:36] deostroll, ok do you have a router on this setup or just the cable modem ? [02:37] my isp says i have 15meg of "personal webspace" is that the same thing as a shell account? [02:37] no [02:37] pelo: just a cable modem. (Company Webstar) [02:37] Helios, it's server space to setup a webpage [02:37] shell account = system login to a prompt "personal webspace" = place to upload your webpage [02:38] deostroll, ok , co-axial cable from the wall to the modem and then a cable from the modem to the computer that looks like a phone cord on steroids right ? [02:38] hello. what could i do so my video output won't lag on ubuntu? [02:38] ok thank u guys [02:39] alexbOrsova, try searching in the forum for this, I'm sure there is someting about it , www.ubuntuforums.org [02:39] pelo: almost a phone cord. [02:39] marltu, turn off desktop effects [02:39] pelo: yes a phone cord. [02:39] deostroll, big jacks on both ends ? [02:39] Pelo: that's what I'm doing right nnow [02:40] guys, is there any way to get a "mywebsite.COM" address without having to pay for .com to some company? [02:40] pelo: they r almost rectangular. But both ends look identitical. [02:40] deostroll: almost certainly an ethernet cable [02:40] alexbOrsova, it is not an overly difficult thing to do, I jsut don'T remember the details right now and you are out of luck there is no one around tha tdoes, [02:40] is there any guide for installing ubuntu *from* a usb stick? [02:40] hey guys [02:40] deostroll, ok I know what is it , ie the regular stuff, [02:40] @il3dsm I don't think so [02:41] mortal1: Yes. give me a minute I'll find a link [02:41] im running the new nvida graphics card and it only works if i start it off the cd in graphical safe mode. how do i set ubuntu to load in graphical safe more [02:41] im guessing its a driver [02:41] pelo: enlighten me. [02:41] deostroll, can you give me a list of the stuff you need to do in order to get the connection working in windoes, ie the statick ip and stuff, and you scan the instructions page and upload it somewhere so I can tell you where to input the infor properly ? [02:42] deostroll, regular stuff doesn't mean I know what to do , it just means that it's not some weird thing I 've never heard about [02:42] deostroll, you should ear of some of the setups the poorer parts of india have [02:42] mortal1: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/ [02:42] pelo: yeah. India. [02:43] Don't FAT volumes hate commas? [02:43] deostroll, are you in india ? [02:43] pelo: yup. [02:43] !install | mortal1 [02:43] mortal1: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[02:46] the problem is, i have a live network connection (using it now on xp) i go into ubuntu 7.10 and i have no internet, i think sure it was that random dns/ipv6 error so i go into firefox and disable ipv6 via about config and that normaly fixes the network issue but for some reason it didnt. i have no internet comming in but ubuntu has my network card in the networking window thing [02:47] Pelo: once I have my filters ready, how do I apply them to the video and export it?

[02:53] pelo: dhcp did not work... [02:53] :-( [02:53] deostroll, it might be a good idea to give your isp a call and ask if they have instrucitons for getting you connected from linux, [02:54] Shenzen, google [02:54] happy new year everyone!

[03:04] <_Digi_> ACER 3680 [03:04] <_Digi_> It is about a year old [03:05] did the webcam work ever in other ubuntu versions?

[03:06] I'm looking for a relatively small laptop, something like has about 12" screen or something [03:06] i just installed drivers for my nvidia 5500, and when i boot up my unbuntu it gets stuck right after the splash saying "unnin local boot scripts".. any ideas? [03:07] anyone have any idea why my screen goes blank until ubuntu is started? [03:07] <_Digi_> I am surprised no one know that local host access to the printers. [03:08] _Digi_: i'm a noob. [03:08] does anyone have a built-in webcam that works with ubuntu?

[03:12] wers a toshiba a200 [03:12] toshiba... sounds expensive :)) [03:12] wers the webcam identifies as a chicony [03:12] <|zOap|> uaAsbG2dBxtgq8Lbo/QBVg== [03:12] |zOap| yup [03:13] How do i get the resolution 1280x800 (in kubuntu) it's not an option in system settings/monitor and display [03:13] Aresilek if it isn't an option you will need to add the modelines to xorg.conf [03:13] th0r, how many inches is the screen? [03:14] wers not sure...15 I think...1280x800 [03:14] ooh.that's big. i'm looking for a relatively small one [03:14] wers compensation [03:15] what's a modeline? [03:16] btw i see the resolution i want in the xorg.conf file, but it's not an option in the system settings [03:16] Aresilek then there is something amiss with the modeline. X will not process modelines that it deems in error [03:17] Aresilek or it may be that X thinks the monitor won't support the resolution [03:17] hi, question: I'm on gutsy; sometimes if I've been using the computer for a while, the window decorations (title bar, etc) vanish and I have to restart emerald. I guess emerald is crashing due to some sort of error? where can I see what error this might be? [03:17] th0r: can i do anything about that? [03:18] Aresilek yes...but it isn't easy. Google modelines or xorg.conf and start there. You will probably find a number of examples for modeilines for your resolution and can try some of them. In the process learn something about xorg.conf [03:19] th0r: i see the resolution i want as a mode not a modeline btw [03:19] Aresilek the modeline defines a number of parameters for each resolution [03:20] there we go...I lost them again [03:20] Aresilek, take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log, somewhere near the middle you'll see a bunch of resolutions, look for the 1280x800 (if it's there) it'll give you a clue about why it's not available [03:20] th0r: is http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Widescreen_Resolutions_(WSXGA) a good thing to try? [03:21] nickrud: ok [03:21] Aresilek wouldn't know...mine worked out of the box so I never looked into it. Haven't messed with modelines since long before X became xorg [03:21] Hey people! I've got one question before I start the Ubuntu install on my box. My computer has a 64-bit processor, but I'm not certain whether I should be installing the 32-bit or 64-bit Ubuntu version. How is Linux when it comes to software compatability and soforth? [03:22] ticks, unless you're doing intensive video or audio editing or number crunching (with the right software) or have more than 4gb of mem, there's no real reason to run the 64bit version. [03:22] ticks: how much ram do you have ? [03:22] Aresilek let me have a minute and I will pastebin my xorg.conf file for you...I am running 1280x800 so it may help. [03:23] if you have less than 3.5gb ram, use the 32bit versio [03:23] I have 2GB ram. [03:23] use 32bit then [03:23] save yourself a lot of pain [03:23] I will do that. :) [03:23] Aresilek http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50351/ [03:23] one day 64bit will rule the desktop. I think I might be old by then though :/ [03:23] So there is software incompatability in the same way Windows has then? [03:24] Oops, messed up sentence but you get the gist. :P [03:24] ticks, yes, very much so [03:24] ticks: only with binary drivers / software from proprietry companies [03:24] most open-source stuff works fine [03:24] eg flash had problems until recently, java has some issues with the applet plugin, etc (there are hundreds of examples) [03:24] th0r: but that has modelines in it [03:25] Aresilek ? [03:25] I'll just redownload and I'll pick 32-bit now. :) [03:25] ubuntu is what Bill Gates uses when he wants to see blue screens.. [03:25] roy_: what graphics card do you have ? [03:25] Aresilek, why not put the log file up on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org let us take a look. There's bound to be a clue or two [03:25] lol [03:25] what does gdm call to display the gnome window [03:26] th0r: that pastebin u gave me (which i assume to be yours) has modelines in it, didn't u add those yourself? [03:26] why do full screen games drop out of full screen and loose focus at random. happens on every install. [03:26] nickrud: ok [03:26] jtt: gnome-session starts a WM [03:26] jtt: xorg [03:26] Aresilek no...they were added at install...that is why I don't recall anything about them . But they might serve as a guide for you in assessing and correcting your problem [03:26] mulvane_: most people at MS research seem to use Linux (many using Ubuntu) [03:27] thanks folks [03:27] mulvane_, you troll [03:27] That's because even an MS employ can't afford a copy of vista..

What do your logs say at: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [03:33] hi [03:33] adelie, is something else stealing it, like for example a pop-up alert?

[03:36] hanasaki, hmm, odd. Have you installed any applications recently that might have caused this? It sounds like a definite bug, but it might be hard to trace if there is no record in your Xorg logs [03:36] lunar... nothing installed new [03:36] that i remmber [03:36] get it on both boxes.. both are twins [03:36] Mez: I had to reconnect to my irssi, connection broke [03:36] more on the box that hangs [03:36] what is your cpu lunar [03:36] :-/ [03:37] one more questions crimsun or nickrud , in my home/personal folder, real took over and installed all this crap. i want it gone. how do i know which ones are realplayer and which ones aren't? examples are the following files: codecs, bin, , lib, plugins, postinst, share [03:37] i currently use rhythmbox for managing podcasts. is there a list of other similar programs? [03:37] joanki: the realplayer deb did that?! [03:37] hanasaki, it could be a hardware issue, but I think what you need to do is be able to characterise exactly what triggers the problem. Without a known trigger/cause it's hard to troubleshoot. It's hard to know what it might be when it's "just at random" (and I've jsut got back from a party, so don't want to give you dodgy advice whilst I'm tired and about to go to bed) [03:37] joanki: or did you mean that invoking the program caused that? [03:38] sok lunar.. what is your hw config? [03:38] i don't know crimsun, but it sure added a lot of crap [03:38] not deb [03:38] the install did [03:38] not all of them, but a few [03:38] hanasaki, er, I have an Acer Aspire 5024 laptop.

[03:40] yea, but uh. the rpm installs on CentOS [03:40] and on Solaris 10 [03:40] i think so [03:40] coraline, so does the deb on ubuntu. (normally) [03:40] well, the pkg, not rpm on Solaris. But still. [03:41] where'd you get the .deb? [03:41] crimsun, how do i get rid of them [03:41] it's not on adobe.com [03:41] coraline, I believe there is flash in the repositories that would work [03:41] it is SO annoying that it monopolized my entire home file [03:41] coraline: we use nspluginwrapper with the non-Free flashplugin on amd64.

[05:11] unless you duel boot [05:11] nickrud, I'll give it a try, I'd like to get vlc working right but there seems to be a new security release so recompiling may be the answer [05:11] or CS, COD, ect [05:11] so is it hard to get internet on it? [05:11] no [05:11] you just plug your ethernet cable in [05:11] wat about wirless [05:11] 1189 users, but most are idling due to new years [05:12] tad harder, [05:12] im not totally sure though [05:12] ppl todl me its so compicated and messed up [05:12] Malik: it can play some games. And others can be played using wine. you could even vmware windows if your computer is fasst enough [05:12] wirser, if there's a security release, it'll show up in ubuntu pronto (normally, anyway. It is the slow time of the year) [05:12] Malik_: It works really well, except depending on your hardware, you may have to do a little work to get stuff running. [05:12] o [05:12] so wat r the requirments for it [05:12] r there any? [05:13] Malik_: for the liveCD, 256MB RAM. [05:13] Malik Im playing world of warcraft right now [05:13] in linux [05:13] o cool [05:13] Malik_: Once installed, it'll run on less [05:13] wine can do many things [05:13] Malik_, to use it effectively, at least 512mb ram, 800mhz processor, and 15 gb disk [05:13] so wats liek the cool thign bout linux unbuntu [05:13] everything [05:13] the 3d effect [05:13] it is free! === u^A is now known as allbert [05:13] and it being open source [05:13] LOL..its free ...everytin is free [05:13] rudihawk, use Free , the capital letter matters :) [05:13] u jus download anytin [05:14] and it is more stable than windows [05:14] linux is better in all respects [05:14] it is? [05:14] hell ya [05:14] but linux isn;t compatiable with things its liek vista [05:14] yep [05:14] I know linux boxes that have uptimes of 365+ days [05:14] dude, why would why want vista? [05:14] what's cool about linux is that once you learn it you have total command of the system [05:14] The Linux kernel is hella-stable, but not so much when you have Compiz-Fusion running, heh. [05:14] rudihawk: i know many crazy insane people who would think about trying it === selig5 is now known as jose3 [05:15] but its so hard to learn to program and all [05:15] yeah compiz-fusion causes a crash once in a blue moon and you have to hard boot your comp [05:15] you are no longer just along for the Windows ride === jmantra-2008 is now known as jmantra [05:15] Or the Mac ride [05:15] liek u gotta learn c++ html python and all that [05:15] no you don't [05:15] no you don't [05:15] then how do u program? [05:15] ubuntu has a full gui [05:15] just dont toggle lots of features while rolling your cube with the rain on and drawing fire === g-unot is now known as gunot [05:15] and it shouldnt crash [05:15] Malik_, I've been using linux since 2000 , and haven't programmed a lick === gunot is now known as gunot101 [05:15] Malik_: do program you do, to run linux y ou dont [05:15] to program* [05:16] i heard its made for hacking wats all that bout? [05:16] haha [05:16] thats a misconception [05:16] hacking as in taking things apart and making it better = true [05:16] hackers will use linux, but its not for hacking [05:16] but is it better for hacking [05:16] hacking as in = evil person false [05:16] Malik, not all for hacking anymore. It's just another OS made to make computing fun [05:16] and easy [05:16] and enjoyable [05:17] and hasslefree [05:17] and secure [05:17] Malik_: are you thinking of HACKERS or CRACKERS? [05:17] linux is better than windows in so many ways [05:17] so i heard u need a good graphic crad to [05:17] hackers [05:17] Malik_: no you dont need a top end card [05:17] con-man, every way but gaming that is, but that isn't linux's fault. [05:17] then yes, its true. Linux is good for Hackers. [05:17] oh malik, you won't ever have to worry about virus's [05:17] but for the cube [05:17] I know ppl with Radeon 9600s running compiz [05:17] Malik_, in fact, the high end cards have the biggest problems in linux [05:17] Most... Viruses... Come in... Through... WINDOWS! [05:17] *intruders [05:17] Hey [05:18] http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/sys/524739458.html would 500 be a good asking for this and would it run all of what ubuntu has and will have to offer? [05:18] yea i know [05:18] DragonSpirit: this is true, but im playing world of warcraft right now and thats good enough for me [05:18] I have installed Gusty [05:18] cause 99 ppll use windows [05:18] Malik, if you decide to try linux, set you goal out to about 1 year to get full command of it. You can't be in a hurry with it. [05:18] I need help configuring my sound card [05:18] wat age is it good to start? [05:18] Malik_: any [05:18] 5 [05:18] :P [05:18] yeah the high end cards dont have their drivers written in a stable way yet [05:18] too new [05:18] i started linux at age 46 [05:18] I'm 55 now [05:18] if you can read.....and click a mouse [05:18] cool [05:18] * DragonSpirit is using an old gforce 4 [05:19] so lets say i get linux insatlled and running wwould i be able to easily open internet and play a game on miniclips.com? [05:19] lol [05:19] yes [05:19] very easy [05:19] I got it working in debian etch.. can`t get it working in gusty [05:19] not much a gamer, so newest and fanciest is not my interest on my home pc [05:19] n6hgg, heh, I started as a baby compared to you, 44 ;) [05:19] so ubuntu is the best linux? [05:19] Applications -> Internet -> Firefox ( [05:19] if it works, why upgrade if it doesn't do anything new for me [05:19] you're just a kid [05:19] lol [05:19] Malik_: thats debatable, but you asked in #ubuntu.. [05:20] What is the best desktop search tool for Ubuntu (Beagle, Google Desktop, etc)? [05:20] kik [05:20] lol* [05:20] Malik_: one of the best desktops [05:20] Malik_: there is no best ubuntu, they each have their own features [05:20] ok i got a question what would be the best way to make a dvd movie . I need to take it from a camcorder then make a simple but nice looking dvd out of the movie on the tape. what would be best to use? [05:20] jcg42, try them all, remove the ones you like the least, keep the one you like [05:20] Malik_: Ubuntu is better for ppl new to linux [05:20] alrite thats me [05:21] then you can move on to Debian, Gentoo, DSL, Slackware [05:21] explore it all! [05:21] i hav been watchin videos of it on youtube for liek hours [05:21] jarrod_: looks nice. single core cpu, and not 64 bit, so I would imagine as a seriours performance machine, it would be great for the next 2 years easily...and the price is nice... [05:21] wat do u mean move to so thoe r better [05:21] Malik_, what kind of video card do you have? [05:21] well i got liek 4 computers at home [05:21] Malik_: its debatable... there is no BEST distro [05:21] one fo them r gunna get linux [05:21] Malik_, it'll run well on one of those then :) [05:22] some people like it small, some people like it fast, some people like it user friendly, some people like it unuser friendly [05:22] < WorkingOnWise> jarrod_: looks nice. single core cpu, and not 64 bit, so I would imagine as a seriours performance machine, it would be great for the next 2 years easily...and the price is nice.. [05:22] but iam not gunna do anytin to me laptop which came with vista 2gb ram [05:22] eww [05:22] vista [05:22] would u guys put it on a really good 2gb laptop the best computer u had ? [05:22] be honest [05:22] infact there is no "best" os, distro, computer, color, icecream, anything... its all subjective. [05:22] jarrod_, I'd agree, the video card is good for a laptop at that price [05:22] Malik_: in a heart beat [05:22] or would be buy a normal computer to put linux on [05:22] especially if it had vista [05:23] lol [05:23] opps excuse my french [05:23] Malik, yes, best to experiment on another spare computer, good idea [05:23] though vista is not on my personal best list. [05:23] i hate vista! [05:23] Malik_: if I could only put linux on only one of those computers cause I had no choice, I would put it on the new laptop [05:23] its jus stupid [05:23] hehe Vista is down there with Windows ME... [05:23] nickrud, well gxine had no audio so doesn't totem xine, rechecking system/preferences/sound I get no sound from als esd or oss but do from my sound card (2nd of 2 available) [05:23] * nickrud hasn't used windows enough to know why everyone says it's better than xp. Can't tell the difference ... [05:23] err alsa [05:23] i am gunna put it on all 4 computers...lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [05:23] Malik_: I run Ubntu as my primary OS. Left Windows 2 months ago. Never happier. 17" laptop, 2gb ram, 100gb drive, AMD Turion x2 cpu.... [05:23] does anyone know easy way to make a dvd movie from a camcorder? [05:23] heh, at least windows me could partially be fixed by removing parts and performing os surgery [05:23] WorkingOnWise: cool thx for checking it out for me. im getting better at linux but still am not street smart on hardware [05:24] WOW! [05:24] good luck doing that to vista [05:24] Malik: if you want , you can dual boot... having two OSs on one computer. [05:24] so as a secondary os? [05:24] Windows ME was the worst thing to happen to the computer industry [05:24] XP and Vista, just too much going on there. Doesn't need to be that way. [05:24] i know [05:24] I like Vista. It looks nice running in its little cage on my desktop. There's no door or feeding tray in its cage, but I wouldn't want to actually USE it. [05:24] wirser, then it sounds like you have a sound issue also. But, I'm not the one to deal with sound. [05:24] con-man: i had windows ME... then i found Linux... runs about 100 times faster [05:24] jarrod_: the only hesitation I would have it the single core cpu, but for the price, I would get past that. :) [05:25] so linux is really fast? [05:25] I found windows ME to be better than 98, if you removed enough of it. [05:25] Hello, I'm using wireless internet, and each time I restart, I have to run "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" to get it to get an ip from my router using DHCP. What do you do to remedy having to restart networking each time? [05:25] not something the average user could do though [05:25] hey guys, I'm not sure how to get the customization menu... I have the menu under appearance for no effects, normal effects, and extra effects, but no preferences button [05:25] so i can downlaod things like utrorrent limewire and all that on i trite [05:25] rite* [05:25] SilenceGold, install compizconfig-settings-manager [05:25] Malik_: im pretty sure it uses up less resources [05:25] Smegzor: hehehe..I run WinXP now the same way... I so love vm's! [05:25] making it faster? [05:26] Malik, it can be. I use ubuntu but with the windowmaker window manager desktop. Lightning fast that way. 800mhz laptop with only 256mb ram, sony vaio [05:26] WorkingOnWise: me too. Thats the only way I run XP now. My base is Ubuntu 64 with 4 gigs and dual core. [05:26] wow...u ppl really luv this rite [05:26] yea :) [05:27] I do all my paid work in XP. Windows is just a toy of course. [05:27] guys , I Have a problem installing wireless driver on Siemens fujitsu li1718 , distro Ubuntu gutsy 7.10 [05:27] Malik, we just like computers...hehehe [05:27] If Windows wasn't so buggy, I wouldn't have a job. [05:27] lol @ smegzor [05:27] Smegzor: I tride AMD64 Ubuntu for about a month. So many little things not right yet, and no real performance boost I saw, I am on x32 now.... === hdevalence is now known as hdvalence [05:27] can i talk to someone about the evolution program? [05:28] Hi, curl when I use it in an app shows a status bar, but in the terminal the command line does not show up. :( [05:28] Whats going on [05:28] I have not had windows on my computers since ME, even then I dual booted since shortly after the release of 98, I think, its been a long time [05:28] A download bar [05:28] seanI'll try.... [05:28] I use windows XP at work cause they wont let me install linux on my box and hook it up to the corporate domain [05:28] guys , I Have a problem installing wireless driver on Siemens fujitsu li1718 , distro Ubuntu gutsy 7.10 [05:28] nickrud, I agree I'm loading all sorts of alsa stuff right now on other linux I used to know where stuff was thanks for your time so far [05:28] sean, you can ask .... [05:29] wirser, yeah, I used to have a feel for alsa, but that was back in the .5 days === bewkard|afk is now known as bewkard [05:29] speaking of alsa [05:29] i'm trying to install a control for my creative live drive [05:29] icontrol, specifically [05:29] and it's giving me a could not find GTK-config error [05:29] oh and you can watch porn in linux too [05:29] crisp and clear [05:29] could've sworn i had that though [05:29] opensource porn has never looked so good [05:29] what's the package in the ubuntu repos for gtk [05:29] anyone? [05:30] gtk+? [05:30] lol [05:30] this beer tastes like bologna [05:30] this is bad [05:30] Trying to get Big-Desktop to work (2 22" LCDs, ATI video card). When I run "sudo aticonfig --initial --overlay-type=Xv", it just returns: Aborted (core dumped). Why? [05:30] hey guys, I'm not sure how to get the customization menu... I have the menu under appearance for no effects, normal effects, and extra effects, but no preferences button [05:30] hdvalence installed it successfully but there is no load screen [05:31] im haven troubles installed my ati accelerated driver(fglrx) in restricted drivers i keep gettin a error about xorg.conf and this http://pastebin.ca/840672 at startup [05:31] silent, try install compiz === kenade_ is now known as kenade [05:31] Amerio: when you boot, is there a message 'press ESC to enter menu' and then 3 2 1 and then it loads? [05:32] anyone answer my simple question [05:32] how do i make sure gtk_config exists [05:32] gtk-config [05:32] WorkingOnWise: I got an intel and the performance boost is huge compared to my old pc that ran XP. My virtual XP is called Squeaky Toy (inspired by Monkey Boy). [05:32] hdvalence: when I boot , i get a menu of choices with vista and ubuntu when I choose ubuntu I get a blank screen instead of logo loading for ubuntu then I get the login screen [05:32] hi.. any idea why after setting my timezone to gmt-2 (with dpkg-reconfigure tzdata) the local time shows as 2 hours after gmt? [05:33] ushdfgakk: it should be in /usr/bin/gtk-config [05:33] try setting it to gtk-22?!?!? [05:33] Amerio: but you can login ok? [05:33] thx [05:33] (09:29:20 PM) sean: when i make a folder for filtering e-mail that I've already received it doesn't put those e-mails in the folder i created [05:33] (09:29:42 PM) sean: does it only filter mail that is about to be received? [05:33] hdvalence: yeah I can login [05:33] file doesn't exist [05:33] how do i install gtk+? [05:33] i can't find it in apt-get or anything [05:33] Amerio: not sure. someone else might know tho [05:33] god forbid i compile it from source [05:33] libgtk2.0-0 should already be installed, ushdfgakk. [05:34] hmm... [05:34] the source package is gtk+2.0 [05:34] i have libgtk2.0-0 [05:34] hm [05:34] Smegzor: LOL!! From xp to Ubuntu, major performance boost! from Ubuntu x32 to x64, nothing that I could really tell... xp is almost as fast in its sandbox as it was whenit had the whole pc to itself! [05:34] ushdfgakk: so what are you attempting to do, compile a GTK app? [05:34] yeah [05:34] ushdfgakk: then you need libgtk2.0-dev [05:35] WorkingOnWise: My XP is lots faster viirtually than real. No way I'm going back. [05:35] thx [05:35] it's got some dependencies but [05:35] that's sure a start [05:35] ushdfgakk: what are you attempting to compile? [05:35] http://www.gtk.org/download/ [05:35] icontrol [05:35] Smegzor: faster virtual? how do u do that! [05:36] "we learn from malpractice, not practice" === _mckooter is now known as mckooter [05:36] hmm volume control say I'm using the right card but alsamixer disagrees [05:37] sean look for a checkbox in prefs somewhere to apply filters to mail already downloaded... I cant get to evolution atm so I cant be more specific, but its there..... [05:37] wirser: alsamixer uses alsa-lib defaults. [05:37] WorkingOnWise: not difficult. the old XP was installed ages ago and despite careful management, takes 5 minutes to boot and the same to shut down. You know how it starts off slow and gets slower over time? ^^ [05:37] wirser: that means: you may have configured the volume control to use a device that's not listed as the first (index 0) [05:38] wirser: if that's the case, you need to pass -c# to alsamixer, where # is the index numeral [05:38] wirser: e.g., `cat /proc/asound/cards` [05:38] WorkingOnWise: also I save the machine state and reboot rarely. [05:39] Smegzor: ah..1 year is the longest I ever went with any flavor of windows except NT 4.0. Went 3 years and finally upgraded to Win 2000. Never did reinstall NT. They were headed the right direction with that,... [05:40] Smegzor: doer the bootup from the machins stats save time? I imagined it was like hibernation. [05:40] does [05:40] happy 2008 to all [05:40] WorkingOnWise: yeah lots of time [05:40] ditto [05:41] here's to hopping the us start WWIII >< [05:41] Smegzor: hmmm...I'll have to play more with it then. [05:41] but even booting up normally its still quick atm === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [05:43] Happy new year!! [05:43] on my machine, giving xp 512, it's fast enough to allow me to use Office 2007 for supporting my clients, which is all I need it for. virtualbox was the last piece of the puzzle that got me out of windows forever :D [05:44] Trying to set up dual-monitors with Xinerama. X has trouble booting, then just goes into low-graphics mode (with cloning for 2nd monitor). Xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/d61ba682 -- any ideas? PLease! [05:44] Happy new year to you too! [05:44] Does anyone know how to get ClamAV to scan everything I download in Firefox etc? Not needed for my pc of course, just those less fortunate peeps still in Windows. [05:45] btw....Misrosoft gave me Office 2007 Enterprises for going to their launch event :D Wasn't that nice of them? [05:45] On my laptop, even though there's no cd in the cd drive, the cd icon shows up on the desktop every few minutes and the cd player comes up trying to play the cd. How can I fix this? [05:45] they just want to make money WOW [05:45] crimsun: I was look at this -cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia [05:45] HDA NVidia at 0xfebd8000 irq 20 [05:45] 1 [AudioPCI ]: ENS1371 - Ensoniq AudioPCI [05:45] Ensoniq AudioPCI ENS1371 at 0xc880, irq 16 [05:45] WorkingOnWise: only if you can return it for money :) [05:46] wirser: and which device are you wanting to control? [05:46] WorkingOnWise: I purchased an MSDN license for $2,500. Wasn't that nice of me? :O [05:46] alexbOrsova: nah..I'll kep it. It'll be nice to show the bloat comparet to OO.. :) [05:46] Smegzor: ouch! [05:46] and yet.. here I am dissing Windows ^^ [05:46] crimsun: 1 the ensoniq [05:47] !noapic [05:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about noapic - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:47] Smegzor: they make it so easy....who can blame us? [05:47] whats msdn? Microsoft software developers network? [05:47] heartsblood: yup [05:47] crimsun: i have /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base open atm if that will help [05:47] yep [05:47] $2500? ouch [05:48] Smegzor: do u do much with MS c++? [05:48] I needed Visual Studio .NET which was $2,300. The other included that plus every MS OS so I went with that. [05:48] not a thing [05:48] Delphi, PHP, Apache, HTML, MySQL and a bit of MS Access. [05:49] I stopped needing .NET and dropped it like a stone [05:49] Smegzor: did your license include Exchange 200(whateveris newest)? [05:49] don't think so. I wouldn't use that if you paid me. [05:50] the full list of crap will be on their MSDN pages somewhere [05:51] I liked the pre-release name for Vista. Longhorn. I didn't know Bill was into cod pieces. [05:51] explains why its so easy to catch stuff though. [05:51] lol [05:51] Smegzor: hehe...I liked 5.5. Saw 2000 and hated it. Now with google mail and cal, who needs it at all? But I like to compare the FOSS offerings to the commercial stuff. Nice to see the progress of the FOSS stuff while the commercial stuff gets service pack after service pack [05:52] Smegzor: hehehe never thought of it like that...hehehe [05:52] I got hooked on Thunderbird and Firefox (back when that was Firebird). [05:53] I lmao when I saw IE7 was to do tabbed browsing! [05:53] I have used tabbed browsing for 10 years! [05:54] heh I visited the MS site for something while using Konqueror and got randomly selected to trial some browser thing XD [05:54] I'll quit...uncle Billy is still trying to see where he went so wrong... Vista and Office 2007 on PC mags top 15 worst list and all.... [05:55] at least MS are playing a little nicer with browsers. I haven't been greeted with "You need IE for this" in ages. [05:57] Smegzor: we can thank pressure from ff growth for that.... [05:58] hy [06:00] I'm very impressed with the progress of Wine. Very little that I have tried doesn't work flawlessly. I'm a little worried that Wine might enable a windows virus to do some harm, but I don't know if thats possible. [06:01] run it as a different, unprivileged user. [06:01] hello [06:01] Smegzor: akaik, wine is very sandboxed. [06:01] hey, I' [06:01] m having problems with the ubuntu live cd [06:02] it loads up but when it gets to X its blackscreens then the laptop just halts [06:02] hmm.. I don't know how to mix an match processes as different users. If I'm logged in and I run stuff, is it not running with my privs? I don't run them as root of course. [06:02] guys where can I find a WLAN driver for AMilo LI 1718 ???????????/ [06:03] do you guys think I could expect it to run probably if I installed it from the text-based install CD? [06:03] how can i change my screen resolution to 1280x1024? i tried adding it directly to /etc/X11/xorg.conf but ubuntu didnt take it [06:03] Smegzor: many app (vbox fir example) run at least part of itself as a user, and then a process owned by that user. [06:04] should be under system/preferences/screen resolution [06:04] walkies: I had that problem with one pc and the alternate cd did the trick. The black screen I was getting was due to a bug in splashy. You can disable splashy in the grub menu. [06:04] from the dropdown on the top toolbar [06:05] alright, I shall take that in mind [06:05] walkies: if it is just the splashy bug, all you have to do is wait. It returns when it reaches the login screen. [06:05] walkies: i had that with my old laptop. i forgot how, but i passed noapic to the kernel and it loaded fine. [06:06] i've had no experience with laptop installs. With a bit of luck I'll get an eePC this year. [06:06] walkies: there is an option in the boot menu of the cd for additional kernek parms, if i remember.... [06:07] lemme try that [06:07] if not, the alternate cd is an option...but i like pretty gui's [06:07] apic seems to be buggy at best, right now I have debian installed and it fails to come back from hibernation [06:07] yup [06:08] well, I know the CD is good, I'd like to at least prove that it _will_ work before commiting [06:08] I'll try noacpi [06:08] been like that for a while.... [06:08] good luck [06:11] moment of truth [06:11] viva la ubuntu! [06:11] hehe...ok [06:12] brutal, just turns off :D [06:12] hi im wondering where to find backports for apps.. offical backports repo seems to be only useless stuff [06:13] happy new year everyone! [06:13] anyone know how to set up dual monitors if one is a DVI and the other is VGA? I had it working previously with 2 VGAs [06:13] shadylookin: gfx card? [06:14] hmm? [06:14] my video card is dvi, but i have a converter for my vga monitor [06:15] sda [06:15] model? [06:15] nvidia 8600 gts [06:15] made by PNY [06:16] Is there a Daemon Tools type program for Ubuntu? [06:17] It allows you to mount ISO/BIN files as a virtual CD-Rom drive [06:17] you dont need it. you can just mount the images with the -o loop option with mount [06:17] or something like that [06:17] Yeah, but its so nice not having to go to command line to do it, right click, mount and its done :/ [06:18] but commandline is your friend [06:18] Sometimes, but if im rushing or tired it can be a pain in the ass :) [06:18] so does anyone know how to use dual monitors with one monitor being a VGA and the other being a DVI [06:19] hello all welcome to the new year [06:19] shadylookin, the same way as normal, nvidia-settings. [06:19] then make a script and place its icon on desktop if u wish [06:19] btw, happy new &^%$ yesr [06:20] leap year too woot [06:20] how do i get to the nvidia settings? i had to edit the xorg.conf file by hand last time? [06:20] shadylookin, no, you didn't. just run nvidia-settings. [06:20] walkies: so no joy? [06:23] Greatings all (and happy NY). I figured I'd upgrade to Gutsy tonight, and have run into issues... X isn't coming up. Failing on load of module Type. On a feisty system, I see that libtype.so is provided by xserver-xorg-core, but it doesn't seem to be in that package on Gutsy. Any suggestions? [06:24] sorry, module Type1 === Q_Continuum is now known as Q_Contoxicated [06:25] hello? [06:25] HNY!!!!!!111 [06:26] * penguinguy1234 is using Pidgin v2.2.1. [06:27] Eds, gisomount does that for you [06:27] well I connected to sound card 0 and verified working sound but I'll need to some research into how to get sound card to work as default thank to all who tried to help [06:27] Eds, well, sorta [06:27] argh [06:27] pidgin 2.3.1 has been out for weeks [06:27] translating is a very hard job! [06:28] hey there... it would seem that the latest ati proprietary driver that you can download from their site is v7.12, but i read somewhere online that they came out with v8.24 [06:28] to all a Happy New Year [06:28] anyone know where to get this driver version? [06:28] FantasticFoo: they've renumbered [06:28] crdlb: oh, ok. so v7.12 would be as up to date as possible then? [06:29] FantasticFoo, the 7.12 is also known as 8.443 [06:29] FantasticFoo: starting with 7.11 last month (which was also 8.43) [06:29] yeah [06:29] oh ok, thanks [06:29] I've been searching Google, but haven't found a good answer, How do I convert MPEG-1 video to Xvid? [06:30] rathel, mencoder. [06:30] I figured I'd upgrade to Gutsy tonight, and have run into issues... X isn't coming up. Failing on load of module Type1. On a feisty system, I see that libtype1.so is provided by xserver-xorg-core, but it doesn't seem to be in that package on Gutsy. Any suggestions? [06:30] cabrioleur, Figures, what switched do I use, It's very confusing. === malakhi_ is now known as malakhi [06:31] wam_, try running sudo apt-get -f install && apt-get dist-upgrade , sounds like your upgrade didn't complete [06:32] wam_, sudo on the second command also, of course ;0 [06:32] wam_, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [06:32] this is old but for you sudo fans: http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/sandwich.png [06:32] I get clean replies from dist-upgrade [06:33] wam_, if cabrioleur 's works, it would be faster. And don't forget the apt-get -f install [06:33] can someone help me with an error i keep getting "invoke-rc.d: initscript and, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing and (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing " [06:33] is there software that will make my 2 120gb HDs look like one 240gb? [06:33] apt-get install wont work [06:33] E: and: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [06:33] johnny_, put the complete error from sudo apt-get -f install on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [06:33] does anyone know how to fix this [06:33] thats all it says nickrud [06:34] siimo : Good cartoon! [06:34] johnny_, no, it's gonna tell me what package it was on also [06:34] which package is libtype1.so located on in gutsy though? I mean, dkpg -L doesn't show it in xserver-xorg-core, where it was before [06:34] its any package [06:34] i think something is wrong with dpkg [06:35] johnny_, don't panic [06:35] johnny_, paste everything, including the line where you invoke sudo apt-get -f install [06:35] johnny_, I've fixed many of these, don't sweat it [06:35] how can I reduce the number of tty's that autoload from 6 to 2? [06:35] WorkingOnWise, remove tty 3-6 from /etc/event.d [06:36] nickrud: k. ty [06:36] WorkingOnWise, remove them from /etc/securetty as well. [06:37] cabrioleur, if the tty's don't exist, that doesn't apply [06:37] ps -e [06:38] nickrud: wher would my xserver be after this? tty3? [06:38] nickrud, can i just paste it in a pm? [06:38] pastebin wont work [06:38] johnny_, put it up on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org the more eyes the better [06:39] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com is good oto [06:40] pastbin says enable javascripts but i have it enabled nickrud [06:40] nickrud: where would my xserver be after this? tty3? or does it stay on tty7? [06:40] nickrud, yes, but it's a security breach. [06:40] johnny_, try the other pastebin that siimo gave [06:40] wam_, you don't need libtype1.so [06:40] cabrioleur, security is good, true [06:41] * nickrud considers removing 7 - 12 [06:41] WorkingOnWise, I'm not sure if X is invoking tty7 directly or not, it can go either way [06:41] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1d2c5b10 nickrud [06:41] nickrud, I have 23 of them, so 7 - 12 are essential :-) [06:42] ok, well the dpkg reconfigure seemed to help, I'm no longer getting the Errors trying to load module Type1; however, I am now getting all kinds of xkbcomp errors, which have locked the screen. bleh. [06:42] nickrud, it should go to the first empty one. [06:42] * nickrud 's eyes cross at the thought of switching thru 23 vc's [06:42] 23 tty's? [06:42] nickrud, slackware for instance leaves only 6th open for 4th level, so it's still f7. [06:43] WorkingOnWise, sure. How do you work without them? Screen? [06:43] johnny_, ok, now we know it's the autonice daemon, you didn't include that part in the error report :) [06:43] k [06:44] do you have any idea how to fix it? [06:44] cabrioleur: wow....I do almost everything in a terminal inside the gui. I almost never even use the ty's, except for a compile, or repairins the system when the gui is fubar. [06:44] johnny_, I have to admit I've never seen that before. I've seen that error in other contexts. cabrioleur you familiar with how the autonice daemon works, cuz I sure don't [06:45] *now [06:45] I am a longtime Windows Dog. I can get around the cli, and some things I even prefer it, but generally, I'm gui all the way.... [06:45] cabrioleur, ok on the X. I've invoked it on specific ttys, but wasn't sure if ubuntu was or was not [06:45] happy new year? [06:46] what is the auto nice daemon? [06:46] can i just reinstall it? [06:46] sas171: are u Saskia? [06:46] WorkingOnWise: nope, sorry [06:47] sas171: k. np. happy new year nun-the-less! [06:48] cabrioleur: what do u do with all those vc's? [06:48] johnny_, a sec or two [06:48] hi [06:49] k [06:49] did any one try to use this software virtualbox? [06:49] Hello, I'm using wireless internet, and each time I restart, I have to run "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" to get it to get an ip from my router using DHCP. What do you make it so I don't have to do this after each restart? [06:49] Ein_: yes [06:50] Ein_: yup. [06:50] cool [06:50] can anyone help conncet to adsl. i run pppeoconf and it cant find anything , but when plugged to an XP box there is no oproblem... [06:50] WorkingOnWise, I'm working on it. I'm more productive in tty's. I wish I had an access to jonny_'s pc. [06:50] what is website for medibubuntu? [06:50] cuz I was trying to install windows XP but I can't press F8 inside the software [06:51] !medibuntu | ubud [06:51] ubud: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [06:51] Ein_: You will need to read more, it works fine [06:51] ... [06:51] cabrioleur: cant imagine being more probuctive in vc's, but i guess it is simular to having 5 sides on a compiz-fusion cube, huh? [06:52] from where I can read more about it? [06:52] WorkingOnWise, something like it. I guess it's what I'm used to. [06:52] Ein_: What distro? [06:52] johnny_, do you even have and? [06:52] idk [06:52] should i? [06:53] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirtualBox ein_ [06:53] it says i have it installed [06:53] Ein_: as soon as the virtual machine starts, click anywhere in the black portion. This will allow VB to take control of your mouse and keyboard. Then, when u hit f8, it wil be caught by the vb "computer". hit the right control key to release the mouse and keyboard. [06:53] johnny_, remove it. [06:53] can anyone help with pppeo conncetion? [06:53] johnny_, dpkg -r and [06:54] reiko, and what's the question? [06:54] im on gutsy and my updater isnt letting me update [06:54] i try [06:54] removed cabrioleur [06:54] * nickrud is suprised to find one of the few autonice ubuntu refs has his name in it [06:54] im running a slax livecd and i want to completely nuke and reformat everything on my drive... whats the easiest way to do this? [06:54] sudo apt-get update and it doesnt work [06:54] johnny_, try if it works now. [06:55] even if I am inside the program I can't press F8 but all others keys works fine [06:55] cabrioleur, i run pppeoconfig and it cant find anything , but on thois XP there is no problem [06:55] david__: I'm not the person to ask,, but check your disk space [06:55] reiko, do you have drivers for your modem? [06:55] I just switch from fedora 8 to ubuntu..ubuntu is ALOT harder to set up lan network with win box then Fedora 8.. I been at it for hours and googling and still cannot get to my shared windows box or visa versa [06:55] yes working great now CaBa\ [06:55] cabrioleur* [06:55] thanks a bunch [06:56] Ein do u mean u press f8 and do not get the boot menu?

[06:56] i'll say [06:56] i thought i wouldnt be able to install anything [06:57] cabrioleur, of the modem? [06:57] Experts? HA! ( :D ) [06:57] reiko, yes. [06:57] can anyone help me set up a wireless connection on ubuntu server edition? [06:57] is there a reason why sometimes an entry in fstab doesn't get mounted, yet when done like mount /dev/sdb2 it works? [06:57] cabrioleur, just a sec [06:58] norv, what does your fstab line look like? [06:58] norv, [06:58] spdf: UUID=cfad5c7e-69f0-45dc-b13e-1237819feb20 /docs ext3 defaults 0 0 [06:58] (which UUID = /dev/sdb2, for now) [06:59] cabrioleur, how do i find out? im on XP ..the modem says [home access} [06:59] Happy New Year! [06:59] reiko, I know nothing about xp. Try in hardware manager or something like that. [07:00] Happy New Year sauvin !!!!!!! [07:00] cool [07:00] it's work now [07:00] btw, is there a reason to use bind instead of symlinks? [07:01] norv, change the first 0 to 2. [07:01] cabrioleur: thanks [07:01] cabrioleur: what does dump do anyway? [07:01] i have a phone and i connect it to my laptop, i am using gutsy but my system doesnt recognize the phone, i want to access the mass storage of the phone [07:02] cabrioleur, sorry, i catually know nothing about XPas well.... === diafic is now known as di[a]fic [07:02] so can anyone help? [07:03] xcst: try searching for obex.. I don't know much about that [07:03] norv, whats obex [07:03] norv, sorry, I'm a little drunk. Dump suggest backup, if 0 then null, Leave it at 0 and change the second to 2. [07:03] xcst: bluetooth stuffs [07:03] cabrioleur: oh, pass, makes more sense [07:04] cabrioleur: new years eve eh [07:04] norv, yup [07:04] reiko, right click on my computer and pick preferences. [07:05] That'd just change the order in which its checked by fsck, that shouldn't effect whether or not its mounted on boot.. [07:05] spdf: how can I make sure it gets mounted at some point on boot? [07:05] It should be mounted on boot, it defaults to auto [07:06] guys [07:06] do u know where i can get the network manager fix offline [07:06] spdf: I broke my homedir into 2 directories because I have so little disk space (4gb main, 3gb external) [07:06] spdf, according to man, root should be 0, and only root. It actually affects which one is mounted first. [07:06] cabrioleur, i cant find the modem there. can i find through ubuntu? [07:06] cabrioleur, you win this round [07:06] reiko, sure [07:07] cabrioleur, how? [07:07] reiko, the command to find your devices is "sudo lspci" try to find something that resembles your modem. [07:07] Oddly enough it says root should be 1, and all others 2. No option or 0 implies it shouldn't be checked [07:08] the strange thing is that it connects perfectly on XP but on Ubuntu it cannot find anything when i run pppeoconfig [07:08] spdf, yeah, as I said, I'm a little drunk. [07:08] reiko: use "sudo lspci | more" it's easier to read it a page at a time. hit return to go th the next page. [07:09] im running a liveCD that I want to install on a partition that I just created. How do I do that? [07:09] WorkingOnWise, shift + page up/down works too. [07:09] WorkingOnWise, ok - switchiong the connec ttion to Ubuntu ,pls wait ffor me.. [07:10] triplicate: should have an install option [07:10] triplicate, there's an application on the desktop labeled "Install", go through the steps and select the partition you've created. It will want to create a swap partition, if you haven't done that already [07:10] triplicate, the next step shoud be make it mount as / [07:10] cabrioleur: didnt know that. | more is a dos trick. thanks. :) [07:10] reiko: k [07:11] yeah use less, which is better than more. I had a botched Ubuntu install that was missing less once... [07:11] WorkingOnWise, some people prefer less to more, its not always available though [07:11] Anyone here? [07:11] is there a best way to make a "secondary home directory"? [07:11] !question > Hemebond [07:11] woot! got my 64bit ubuntu up! [07:12] I was playing with additional X sessions and now I can't run anything. [07:12] spdf: more and less is a seperate app in Linux? [07:12] WorkingOnWise: of course [07:12] anyone using one of those asus eee? [07:12] younger_elder: with xubuntu, yes [07:12] cabrioleur, i cannot see the router from ubuntu [07:12] wow...everything is its own app! kewl [07:13] CAN SOMEONE HELP ME [07:13] younger_elder, as soon as it gets here! Can't wwait [07:13] reiko, that's bed, very bed. Do you have a sticker on the bottom of it? [07:13] david__: All caps = obnoxious [07:13] cabrioleur, you neab the router? [07:13] spdf: younger_elder: graphics is open source, the powermanagement not so, and networking. but it works well [07:13] ok sorry [07:13] but can someone help me [07:13] reiko, whatever you use to connect to pppoe [07:13] i dont get what is wrong [07:13] !ask | david__ [07:13] david__: Don't ask to ask a question, ask the question --On One Line -- that you need answered, and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [07:14] yeah i just got mine up and running, whats the deal with the battery life estimation though though [07:14] younger_elder: just an estimation [07:14] bed time everyone. gn. :) [07:14] david__, where are the error outputs? [07:14] ok, getting closer with my X problem.... now I can launch my X server... I even see the NVIDIA splash, but I get a bunch of errors 'expected keysym, got XF86_Switch [07:14] does it get more accurate? [07:14] david__, does it stall during download? [07:14] i cant update anything (apt-get doesnt work) i try apt-get update but it doesnt download the updates [07:14] ok when i type ing sudo apt-get update this is what i get [07:14] cabrioleur, mmm there is a sticker ...

Done [07:15] no its not much [07:15] david__: Stop. [07:15] thats it [07:15] david, stop!!!! [07:15] cabrioleur, since i am in china , maybe i should try the chinese irc... [07:15] thats all it does [07:15] younger_elder: perhaps, I have seen slightly more accurate readings. that's not the important part for me, just that it says it's going to die soon [07:15] david__: Whereabouts in NZ are ya? [07:15] david__: Have you commented out repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list ? [07:16] auckland [07:16] what [07:16] this is a fresh install of ubuntu [07:16] !chinese [07:16] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [07:16] reiko, it may help too. Greetings to china on this beautiful morning from somehow sleepy poland. [07:17] david__: Could you pastebin the contents of the file /etc/apt/sources.list ? [07:17] younger_elder: oh, and btw. when plugged in the number does not mean anything to me. so if that's what you're seeing [07:17] how are the ati drivers on ubuntu? [07:17] havent done anything to it but install the nvidia driver and used open DNS rather then 10.1.1.1 because of a bug that wont let me using internet otherwise [07:17] ok [07:18] ati drivers are IMO the worst in all linux, nvidia slightly better but very spotty. intel works the best, as far as stability [07:18] everything in that file has a # in the front [07:18] im guessing its comented out? [07:18] Ubuntu was the only distro to get a box of mine using ati to work well at all [07:18] david__: That will be the problem. Yep! [07:19] david__, check the sources.list as wweasel suggested. It looks like you don't have any repos in it. [07:19] cabrioleur, happy new year. i am very drunk, but need to connect to pppoe [07:19] david__: If you'd like I can look at it. You can either PM me and past it, or put it in a pastebin [07:20] reiko_: hence the reason i alias rm to mv.. drunkeness [07:20] or sleep drpevation [07:21] Happy New Year - C новым годом - გილოცავთ ახალ წელს - Felice Anno Nuovo [07:21] AlinuxOS, Happy New Year too! === nick__ is now known as nrober [07:21] Happy Open Source New Year :-) [07:21] ;) [07:21] "You should never use sudo to start graphical applications as root. You should use gksudo to run such programs" - Why? [07:22] 25 years of TCP/IP :D [07:22] wweasel wont let me PM because im not regd but ill tell you how it turns out in a sec [07:22] !gksudo | wweasel [07:22] wweasel: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [07:22] seams to update nwo :D [07:23] who knows if there is a good way to "split" home directories, like having a /home//extdocs ? [07:24] where extdocs is on another disk, due to space consideration [07:24] norv, all you have to do is make /home/user/extdocs and mount the partition there [07:25] astro76: well, I guess all I need is per user now, since it's a single user box [07:25] norv: I do that myself! I'd recommend using symlinks. [07:25] astro76: so that'll work [07:25] wweasel: you mean symlinks over bind? [07:25] wweasel: over => instead of [07:25] norv, or just mount it to /media/something and make a symlink to it in your home [07:26] astro76: ah, that [07:26] norv: I'm not familiar with bind. [07:26] anyone know what the best way is to delete the hidden restoration partition included with my toshiba? (with the intent of expanding my primary partition to occupy the newly released space) [07:26] Hammer89: GUI or CLI? [07:26] wweasel: it's useful in chroots not sure what else. it's a mount option [07:27] so, I have X launching and gdm up running, but whenever I type a character, my resolution changes. I have xkcomp warnings of the form: expected keysym, got XF86_Switch. Any ideas? [07:27] wweasel: If there's a way to do it from the GUI... that's best... but CLI is fine too [07:27] Hammer89, check if it doesn't violates the warranty agreement first. [07:27] can anyone else here use thier number pad [07:28] Hammer89: Nice GUI app is GParted, in the terminal you could use fdisk [07:28] david__, sure. [07:28] why cant i [07:28] Hammer89, or cfdisk, more "friendly" [07:28] david__: Silly question, but have you checked numlock? :P [07:28] Hammer89: or cfdisk if you like curses [07:28] 654654654 my number pad [07:28] lol [07:28] hello! I'd like my sound volume to reset to "mute" on startup (or shutdown, whatever).How should I do this? [07:28] every time i press a nummber it beeps. yea its enabled thats what i thought [07:28] gparted is friendlier more than just GUI [07:29] ill wait for the updates to finish then bother you guys about it [07:29] if you don't get every little number right in fdisk you can screw things up [07:29] I'm running ubuntu on my external hardrive. It's pretty fast [07:29] never used cfdisk...it's cool [07:29] ackbahr good question, I don't know, maybe someone else will [07:30] rp_: I'll let you know if they do [07:30] ackbahr: it usually saves with your session I think [07:30] k [07:30] norv: Ah. Well, I'd simply mount the partition as usual in /media/foo, and then use symlinks to connect any folders you want. I do that personally on my computer. (I like having a data partition). [07:30] does anyone know if the last.fm app can scrobble the songs listened to in rhythmbox or amarok? === camau is now known as nsh [07:30] ackbahr: so just mute it and logout cleanly, making sure you are saving sessions [07:31] Greevous: Amarok has last.fm built in. [07:31] norv : good idea, and good point..... [07:31] ackbahr, you will get the answer when I write it down :-) [07:31] how do i make mozilla-mplayer plugin work? [07:31] wweasel: oh sweet, thanks [07:31] hi all, Just simple question, does somebody know where ubuntu stores session info? For example, on session I set: launch ekiga, tomboy notes, etc.. So where these instructions are stored? Thank you. P.S. happy new year... [07:31] wweasel: yeah, mine /has/ to be done, because it's not a partition [07:31] norv: Yep, but the point is precisely that I usually forget to do this... [07:31] wweasel: well, technically it is.. [07:31] norv: What do you mean? [07:32] wweasel: 4gb external flash drive, 4gb internal flash drive [07:32] wweasel: no space for partitioning [07:32] ackbahr: I know it's definitely possible by writing a script and putting it in the correct place. [07:32] Hello? [07:32] I need help on ubuntu [07:32] !ask [07:32] Don't ask to ask a question, ask the question --On One Line -- that you need answered, and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [07:32] What? [07:32] lonejack: their are several places you could store, but if you use the desktop app for specifying sessions, the info is going to get recorded into gnome's gnarly set of config files/hive/registry thing. [07:32] Im new to this. [07:33] wam_: thank you [07:33] lonejack: if you want to add something to add to your session itself, it might be easier to add it to something like .xinitrc or .xsession. [07:33] Ubuntuser07: That's precisely why the Bot wanted to teach you this -- just ask straightaway, people *know* you're here because you need help with Ubuntu.... :) [07:34] norv: Well, symlinks should be perfect for your situation. [07:34] wweasel: yeah, that'll work perfect, thanks [07:34] is there a way to cd in irssi? [07:35] norv DSL in fruggal mode? Fanless setup? Nice? [07:35] cd/ its an irc client? [07:35] My wireless driver don't work [07:35] wam_: do you mean to edit that files? [07:35] Ttech: /cd /home/norv isn't working, stuck in a drive i wanted to unmount. guess i'll just close [07:35] lonejack: that's one way to do it. hard to say for sure since you really didn't give much of what you wanted to do [07:36] ackbahr, ready? There is going to be a small mod in /etc/init.d [07:36] i was wondering if someone had a package name for tomcat6 [07:36] wweasel: That's what I figure out as well, the point being 1) I can't make scripts 2) I wouldn't know what to put in it anyway 3) I would need help to run it on startup.... [07:36] Hello? [07:37] how can I apt-get tomcat? [07:37] cabrioleur: I'm all tuned up! [07:37] rp_: oh, the asus eee, is that what you're asking about? [07:37] ackbahr: Hmm. Well, I have the various scattered knowledge to do it, I'd just need to figure it out with you [07:37] ackbahr: Sounds like a good challenge before bedtime. [07:37] whats a program that will let me download video ? [07:37] or save movies to my harddrive [07:38] johnny_ : what kind f video? [07:38] norv yes, thinking about getting one myself just for fun, they look neat.. [07:38] room, what do i need to install to make my bluetooth usb adapter to work? [07:38] wweasel: looks like cabrioleur is already going to lead me through this.... But thank you anyway! [07:38] ackbahr, let's edit /etc/init.d/halt [07:38] rp_: oh it's got fans but you really have to hold your ear to it to hear [07:38] like off tv-links.co [07:38] cabrioleur: I'm there [07:38] What do I do to make my wireless drivers work? [07:38] full length movies [07:38] I followed all guides [07:38] I thought you might be trying a mini with NO fans, that might be my next project with DSL, and compact flash to IDE... [07:38] or flash [07:39] "X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting." < Anyone know what to do with this? [07:39] Trying to start another X session. [07:39] is there a stand alone flash player out yet? [07:39] rp_: no moving disks [07:39] can anyone help with 7.10 + bluetooth? [07:39] Hi I'm sorry this is Ubuntu [07:39] but what is the package name for rar [07:39] on Fedora [07:39] yes kewl. Just CF neat stuff. Fast to boot to I bet. [07:39] ackbahr, or easier, go to /etc/rc.0 [07:39] Anything like rar for fedora [07:39] im using ubuntu gutsy, and i want to be able to connect to the internet using gprs provided by my server, can somebody help [07:39] ackbahr, rc0.d [07:39] Codename: Have you tried #fedora? [07:39] rp_: sort of, their custom one was faster, but I didn't research it and trashed it. [07:40] hi! i need to install the driver for my geforce card, can someone help? [07:40] no [07:40] sorry [07:40] rp_: xubuntu is fast enough to boot, compiz works wonders [07:40] BOT [07:40] Codename: You can just go to rar site to download the source package. [07:40] ackbahr, create a file in it "sudo touch mute_sound" [07:40] rp_: can't say whether it's /faster/ with compiz, but it is no slower [07:40] rp_: and easier to work, desktop panel and such [07:40] really compwiz sweet...make sure to document what you figure out just in case I try it some time.. [07:40] anyone know of a compatible usb bluetooth adapter? [07:40] cabrioleur: ok [07:41] jeezers: look into "envy" [07:41] !bluetooth [07:41] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [07:41] cabrioleur: I don't have a /etc/rc.0 [07:41] ackbahr, /etc/rc0.d [07:41] rp_: you need madwifi-ng patched for networking, and a way to use the apt-cdrom to get build-essential (I just put iso on jump drive, and a special boot loader) [07:41] cabrioleur: ah, ok, sorry. [07:41] sorry, but i dont get you. . . [07:42] Codename: For example, in ubuntu the package is called "unrar" [07:42] cabrioleur: done [07:42] rp_: graphics is easy because it's intel, and no flicker like my "powerful desktop replacement" [07:42] jeezers: System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager [07:42] u_angel, envy is not supported! [07:42] rp_: those instructions are wrong. they say just plug it in but nothing happends [07:42] norv good stuff [07:42] i downloaded this package from nvidia.com and tried running it, but it shows some error. . . [07:42] cabrioleur: what do you mean not supported? not supported here? [07:42] it wont let me join [07:42] im using ubuntu gutsy, and i want to be able to connect to the internet using gprs provided by my server, can somebody help [07:42] if anyone can help me with RAR for Fedora [07:43] it would be greatly appreciated [07:43] ackbahr, create a file called K05mute "sudo touch K05mute" [07:43] the package name [07:43] of course the proprietary drivers aren't supported either. envy is just worse [07:43] i need a ubuntu package to apt-get tomcat6, any ideas? [07:43] u_angel, in ubuntu [07:43] jeezers look for envy to help [07:43] cabrioleur: ok [07:43] can someone help me get mozilla-mplayer working [07:43] wam_: I wanted to discover that question because I've two problem. The first is that when the system start it launches ekiga(but I erased it from session, so I don't understand why it's launched). The second much important, is that sometimes the system doesn't switch off at shutdown phase. These problem started when I had taken the bad decision to get in to session... That's why [07:43] ackbahr, now the fun part, lets write a small script. "gksudo K05mute" [07:43] what/who is envy?? [07:43] cabrioleur: what are you talking about? i have envy on my ubuntu 7.10 box for my ati x1300 [07:44] rar for Fedora? [07:44] :| [07:44] Codename: Package names in Ubuntu are: rar and unrar respectively. We can't really say if that's the same for Fedora [07:44] there is just a gray square where mplayer should be [07:44] jeezers: envy is the only way i got my VidCard to work after trying everything [07:44] jeezers : http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html [07:44] u_angel, lucky you. envy is not supported by ubuntu. and it causes a lot of problems for a lot of people. [07:44] will check it out, thanks [07:44] jeezers: don't do that, just use system>administration>restricted dri vers manager [07:44] not supported? [07:45] rp_: so any help with bluetooth? that page is wrong [07:45] Hey guys [07:45] don't recommend envy in this channel please [07:45] ackbahr, type "#! /bin/bash" [07:45] no, the thing is, i want to install it from the package i downloaded! [07:45] ok, sorry room, no envy [07:45] jeezers: that's a bad idea [07:45] why do you want that specific version? [07:45] ackbahr, then "amixer sset Master 0%" in new line. [07:45] oh. . . wy? [07:45] can one go out and buy an intel gfx, or are those only built into main boards now? [07:45] Hey DR.VISTA, YOU HERE??????????????/ [07:46] cabrioleur: Should I be editing K05mute? [07:46] DR.VISTA, YOU HERE MAN? [07:46] geeezzzz .... anyone know why I can watch video anywhere and everywhere EXCEPT on Fox News? [07:46] !caps [07:46] PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [07:46] norv: currently only integrated, but dedicated cards are planned [07:46] ackbahr, yes "gksudo gedit K05mute" [07:46] I get the sound, but no picture [07:46] crdlb: sure hope they don't go proprietary too [07:46] Lupe Fiasco's The Cool is incredible... [07:46] ah, I hadn't typed the "gedit", so of course.... :) [07:46] ok, i guess i should quit trying to get bluettoth on ubuntu. the damn instalation page is all wrong [07:46] ackbahr, type "#! /bin/bash" [07:46] hou5ton: Probably has to do with what codec their videos aer. [07:46] ackbahr, I'm drunk, but it will work. [07:46] u_angel: Wrong how? [07:46] The default DISPLAY is 0:0 yes? [07:47] Hemebond: yes. [07:47] Pants. [07:47] DR. VISTA [07:47] DR VISTA [07:47] DR VISTA [07:47] WHERE ARE YOU [07:47] ackbahr, now "/usr/bin/amixer sset Master 0%" in new line. [07:47] u_angel : don't use it so don't know, but I tried to make it work with my phone and it seemed ok? [07:47] churka, please stop [07:47] crdlb: I don't care as much about open source as I do about constant flickering and glitching. my HP Pavilion zd8000 has had no end to sound, video, and removable disk problems [07:47] Sorry man, my friend needs my help quick [07:48] HEre [07:48] churka: none of us really care. This a support channel. [07:48] There you are man [07:48] cabrioleur: The point is that I'm not sure "Master" is really the master channel in this wicked machine of mine.... [07:48] Im here] [07:48] Churka what did you want? [07:48] cabrioleur, do you know another media plugin like mozilla-mplayer that allows you to save movies to your harddrive? [07:48] wweasel: hmmm ... well ... I thought it was Adobe Flash, and I THOUGHT I had that installed ... but apparantly something isn't right [07:48] cabrioleur: Ok, done [07:48] rp_: Onyx: it says plug in and an icon would appear if using 7.10. i am using 7.10 and nothing is happening. i will follow the 7.06 install to see if i get anything [07:48] johnny_: I've only been successful, with youtube, by wget [07:49] I dunno [07:49] just here to help you get help [07:49] ackbahr, type amixer sset Master 0% and see if it lowered the volume. [07:49] this is for normal video files norv [07:49] u_angel: Erm... if it's bluetooth, why do you have to plug anything in? [07:49] u_angel sorry d00d worked for me.. [07:49] hou5ton: Does youtube work? [07:49] wweasel: can you see the videos on Fox News? http://www.foxnews.com/ [07:49] wweasel: yes [07:49] Churka [07:49] huh [07:49] ? [07:49] johnny_: can't just copy/save the link? [07:50] Are you there? [07:50] wweasel: CNN and MSNBC too [07:50] johnny_, there is a plugin for firefox to do that from web, if that's what you are asking. [07:50] yea man [07:50] Onyx: i have a usb bluetooth adapter [07:50] talk in the tab I opened with you [07:50] What do you want? [07:50] cabrioleur: no, it didn't.... [07:50] what do you want? [07:50] like the mplayer one cabrioleur ? [07:50] wweasel: and actually ... anywhere else I've been with this install [07:50] i want to be able to play movies then have the option to save them to hard disk [07:50] cabrioleur: I think "master surround" is the main channel.... [07:50] Churka i sent you a private message. [07:50] wweasel: but with Fox News, I can only get sound [07:50] cabrioleur: trying this one [07:50] Where????? [07:50] you cant send PM over here [07:50] rofl [07:51] There' [07:51] hou5ton: Very odd. Maybe your computer is a liberal :P [07:51] BB? [07:51] I clicked your name [07:51] wweasel: could be ... :-) [07:51] The sent a message [07:51] right click you mean? [07:51] right click and open a new dialog box [07:51] ackbahr, try PCM after if this didn't work [07:51] and talk with me there [07:51] hou5ton: I really have no idea. It's flash too, and if you're having no other trouble with other flash sites, I haven't the faintest idea what might be wrong. [07:51] cuteharez: unregistered users cannot send private messages [07:51] err [07:51] cabrioleur : ok [07:51] churka: ^^ [07:51] ackbahr, you must have PCM [07:51] nvm [07:52] what you want crdlb? [07:52] I remember ou [07:52] churka: Unregistered users can't send PMs. [07:52] you helped me out with my BERYL problems a while back [07:52] wweasel: oh well ... every now and then there is a video on Fox I want to see ... but ....

[07:52] cabrioleur: yes, but the volume linked to my volume shortcut keys is "master surround", this is for sure.... [07:52] apparently not. [07:53] no [07:53] cabrioleur: What would be the shortcut name for it? [07:53] neither of you [07:53] vista, what do you mean? [07:53] ackbahr, execute amixer and see what's on top of it. [07:53] It doesnt show private chat [07:53] !register | churka Ubuntuser07 [07:53] churka Ubuntuser07: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration [07:53] my linux is hyper sensitive with soundcards! my soundcard has been working on and off three times today THREE TIMES! [07:53] I have to register????

"Get a room", so to speak :P [07:54] churka: like #churka [07:54] can anyone give me any ideas on how I can get my soundcard to work? [07:54] ?? [07:54] Ok CRDLB [07:54] Aztec007, do you have pulseaudio installed? [07:54] Dr vista, click on #churka [07:54] [07:54] cabrioleur: "Master Surround" [07:54] Sorry to bother you guys but i need alittle help with xchat [07:54] right click> join channel [07:54] Have EgOS on a wally world PC, can I use beryl ? [07:54] cabrioleur: no, I know about pulseaudio, I was told not to install it [07:55] ackbahr, check "amixer sset 'Master Sound' 0% [07:55] Aztec007, sounds like alsa/oss problems. [07:55] ackbahr, sorry, 'Master Surround' === monkey_ is now known as rushJet [07:55] cabrioleur: yeah, thats what its looking like, I mean I like linux and all but everytime I go to synaptic and get some package I lose the sound [07:55] then I have to restart to get it back [07:56] and now its gone permanantly [07:56] cabrioleur: We're lucky there"I'm changing the script.... [07:56] gos, probably not, I dunno, we don't support that here ;) [07:56] ackbahr, cool! now the last line looks like "/sbin/alsactl store" [07:57] ackbahr, make a new line at the end, save it, quit. Now, make it executable "sudo chmod +x K05mute" and you are done. [07:57] It's amazing how many people come to #ubuntu for any linux problem, just because we're the most active. [07:57] By the way everyone I am shocked to find that I'm not the only one stressing out about linux on New Years Day [07:57] cabrioleur: Wonderful! [07:57] Aztec007: I'm just not yet ready to go to bed after partying, so why not help a couple people out. [07:58] ackbahr, one more check. volumes up and type ./K05mute to see if it works (the script) [07:58] BOOM, headshot [07:58] wweasel: thats what I call good Karma, could ya help a brother out??? [07:59] cabrioleur: Yes, but /sbin/alsactl: save_state:1280: Cannot open /var/lib/alsa/asound.state for writing: Permission denied [07:59] Aztec007: I would, but I offer help when I think I can be of help. I don't know how to help you with your random sound card problems. [07:59] ackbahr, that's good. It will during shutdown. You are done!

To disable it, should I just chmod it back? [08:00] thankfully I have a bottle of tequila next to me because lord do I need it [08:00] norv: whats SDL? [08:00] And I've begun to think that maybe I'll choose hardware better next time.. I /never/ could make it work well enough to turn on the sound [08:00] Aztec007: Standard DirectMedia Layer.. openGL, sound, controls, etc. [08:00] norv: just out of curiosity, what kind of sound card do you have on your PC?

[08:02] Aztec007, execute mpg321 in terminal and see if you have it. [08:02] or is it PCI? [08:02] cabrioleur: ok [08:02] Aztec007: HDA Intel Realtek ALC662 rev1 (Eee) [08:03] Sorry dr.vista [08:03] cabrioleur: Wonderful... Thanks again, and enjoy a Happy Year!

[08:03] cabrioleur: "currently not installed!" *look of hope on face* [08:03] Aztec007: it's probably mainboard, as the graphics is integrated. as for the laptop, probably same even though it's got dedicated gfx [08:03] Aztec007, sudo apt-get install mpg321 [08:03] Anyone? [08:03] does anyone know how to get mozilla-mplayer working in edgy? [08:03] norv: I have an audigy high definitino or something like that [08:03] ANYONE? [08:04] cabrioleur: ok!

(i'm not sure if i have any mp3s on my system ") [08:05] Aztec007, do you have ogg? [08:05] whats devel manpages package? [08:05] churka: how far did you get? if you haven't even got bootup might want to ask on a vmware or a channel for your host system [08:06] churka: unless you mean Ubuntu is the host [08:06] whats devel manpages package? [08:06] I got to a boot up [08:06] But I cant get wireless internet working [08:06] churka: Hehe, doesn't work that way [08:06] Aztec007, http://simplythebest.net/sounds/MP3/sound_effects_MP3/sound_effect_MP3_files/frogs.mp3 [08:06] It only works with wired? [08:06] Hello. What do you think of taking Bazaar for backups? [08:07] churka: You would bridge or something, I am not an expert at that [08:07] I dont know what bridging is [08:07] churka: I use VirtualBox.. but you make it look like your wireless is wired [08:07] whats devel manpages package? [08:07] Noo [08:07] im on my xp now [08:07] hi, what is the channel for troubleshooting webcams? Thanks [08:07] cabrioleur: ok, here's what I got : "Link points to "/tmp/ksocket-jalonso" [08:07] can't create mcop directory [08:07] " and no I dont have ogg [08:08] !webcam | bellfree [08:08] bellfree: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [08:08] Norv: I cant find any options for wireless, all i see is wired [08:08] churka: yes, you connect via wireless in XP, and pass the network connection to VMware. [08:08] Ok [08:08] Do I need to choose the Bridge connection? [08:08] churka: not sure /how/, I don't use vmware. Bridge sounds like the right one [08:08] cabrioleur: bluettoth working great, the page you gave me sucks ass cuz it claims 7.10 works different than 7.06 but it is wrong. once i followed the 7.06 instructions it works great! thanks [08:09] Ok, well Ive tried that with no success [08:09] Do you know anyone else that is familiar with Vm Ware? [08:09] What is Virtual Box? [08:09] Does anyone here use VMWare? I'm trying to figure out how I can allow access to/from my Linux host to my Windows XP guest. Anyone know? [08:09] u_angel, It's wasn't me, but cool! [08:09] I might wanna use that [08:09] churka: that's the opposite setup, but it's not that different [08:09] Aztec007, do you have skype on, or amarok? [08:10] What do you mean "opposite" [08:10] churka: you are running ubuntu under vmware. Onyx is running xp under vmware [08:10] Uhhhhh, ok... [08:10] Is Onyx similar to VmWare? [08:11] churka: Onyx is me... [08:11] norv, and I'm running aix under solaris zones :-) [08:11] Im confused [08:11] me to [08:11] churka: They were just telling you that you [08:11] Who is telling me what? [08:11] you're talking about running Ubuntu using VMWare [08:11] cabrioleur: zones very good? [08:11] cabrioleur: neither, but I just found some ALSA packages that I dont have installed and I was thinking of installing thru synaptic, good idea or bad? [08:11] And I'm running XP using VMWare [08:11] how do u get on to msn on this thing === _weltall is now known as weltall [08:12] HOLD UP [08:12] Hi, I'm working on optimizing Ubuntu for the small asus eee. What package or file is it that contains the default gnome user setup? Like "one panel on top. one at bottom. Font size 10 " etc? [08:12] VMWare == virtual machine software. [08:12] Ok norv [08:12] I got it [08:12] RoxanneEDM: Use Pidgin [08:12] it was onyx speaking [08:12] Iight [08:12] it dosnt come up [08:12] you were talking to 2 people [08:12] Norv: What is virtual box? is it a better alternative [08:12] what? [08:12] RoxanneEDM: *what* doesn't come up? Pidgin? [08:12] Aztec007, only alsa-oss is required. [08:12] ramvi: you configure that stuff.. play with the ones in your home directory [08:12] yea it dont come up [08:12] Aztec007, if you have it, you are golden. [08:13] can someone help me set up wireless on ubuntu server? [08:13] RoxanneEDM: How are you trying to bring it up? [08:13] clicking it [08:13] Norv? [08:13] ramvi: ls -a, in home. all the "dot" directories [08:13] RoxanneEDM: From...? [08:13] il3dsm, what card? [08:13] cabrioleur: ok, ok, *feeling hopeful now* [08:13] norv: the default setup comes from somewhere. Where? [08:13] cabrioleur: belkin wireless G [08:13] churka: not sure, it works fine for what I do and makes me load less modules [08:13] i am double clicking it but it wont come up [08:13] RoxanneEDM: You've got to give more information than that... it's a lot easier to adequately help if we have more information about exactly what's going on. [08:13] il3dsm, you are doooooooomed. What model? [08:13] Are you using Ubuntu Now? [08:13] or xp to run Ubuntu? [08:14] RoxanneEDM: Where are you double clicking? Desktop? Menu? [08:14] pidgin wont come up so i can go onto it [08:14] ramvi: probably gets created if it doesn't exist. it might also be in /etc but be careful and back the whole thing up [08:14] desktop [08:14] cabrioleur: one moment [08:14] cabrioleur: should i install libaloggl ? [08:14] Aztec007, no, don't have to. [08:14] RoxanneEDM: Are you using Gutsy Gibbon? [08:14] Aztec007, just make sure you have alsa-oss. [08:14] im not sure [08:14] cabrioleur: oh ok, i wasnt going [08:15] norv: so you don't know... ok, thanks anyway === bewkard is now known as bewkard|zzz [08:15] cabrioleur: checking for also-oss [08:15] .... [08:15] norv: Back to my wireless problem, do you know any other people that are familiar with VmWare? [08:15] If Not [08:15] RoxanneEDM: Did you just install Ubuntu? [08:15] then will you be kind enough to provide me a link to virtual box [08:15] :-X i am getting mad [08:15] cabrioleur: f5d7000, it works in the desktop edition by default [08:15] ramvi: well /etc/gtk-2.0 is quite obvious.. and /etc/gtk.. etcetera [08:15] RoxanneEDM: Settle down... I'm trying to help you out... [08:15] Im guessing Virtual Box is a alternative to VmWare [08:16] norv: gtk is just the gnome gui [08:16] churka: I'll tell ya though... VMWare is awesome. [08:16] i know but its not working [08:16] happy new year~ [08:16] Yea, but I cant get my wireless working Onyx [08:16] ramvi: gtk is a very big part of gnome.. i'm sure gnome files are somewhere like /etc/gnome or something simple [08:16] NORV? [08:17] churka: Are you using NAT? [08:17] churka: if you are trying to configure wireless from within vmware, that won't work - vmware uses "virtual" wired interfaces. But if the host runs wireless, it should work [08:17] il3dsm, let's start from "sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper ndiswrapper-utils" [08:17] It doesnt work for me though [08:17] il3dsm, you will need windows drivers for it too. [08:17] cabrioleur: should I restart or log off? [08:17] Ive played around will all the settings [08:17] norv: But I'm not asking where it's saved. It's saved in gconf. I'm asking where the default setup comes from [08:17] churka: try brideged mode [08:17] churka: I'm not sure if it is better, you would have to try [08:17] cabrioleur: I installed the packages [08:17] *bridged [08:17] ramvi: oh, the gconf settings [08:17] Ok, Ill BRB [08:18] ramvi: /etc/gconf, ~/.gconf [08:18] cabrioleur: couldn't find package ndiswrapper, I don't have any kind of internet on the other machine [08:18] Im running VMWare now [08:18] il3dsm, it's on the cd. [08:18] may take a while to start up [08:19] i love jibberish [08:19] cabrioleur: I know your busy so just to let you know I'm gonna restart my machine and see if I hear things upon loading *crossing fingers* [08:19] now to sync my windows mobile device with evolution [08:19] Does anyone here use VMWare? I'm trying to figure out how I can allow access to/from my Linux host to my Windows XP guest. Anyone know? [08:20] norv: Am I really making myself that unclear? I'm sorry. What I'm asking is: the default gnome user settings in ubuntu, where do they come from? Where is it configured? I want to change the default user settings, not the settings for a user [08:20] I've done that. [08:20] Onyx: Have you set up a share? [08:20] ramvi, .gconfd [08:20] Onyx: i use samba networking betwwen the host(ubuntu) and the guest(windows) works for me [08:20] Onyx: try putty with ssh server running on the host [08:20] ramvi, some of it in .config [08:20] Onyx: VMWare has sharing built in. [08:20] Enable it. [08:20] aha [08:21] ramvi: ALL system wite defaults come from /etc [08:21] Hemebond: Where? [08:21] Then you can browse to \\host\share [08:21] you guys, I have installed ubuntu succesfuly but right after login the computer just halts and turns off, the kernel options noacpi and noapic do nothing, do you guys have any suggestions for how I might figure out what is crashing it? [08:21] ramvi: *wide [08:21] Hemebond: vmware server does not have that [08:21] ramvi, and some of it in .gconf [08:21] cabrioleur: I popped in the linux server edition CD, typed sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper ndiswrapper-utils in the command line, still not found. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I'm not good with linux. [08:21] u_angel: He just said VMWare. [08:21] !info ndiswrapper [08:21] Package ndiswrapper does not exist in gutsy [08:21] cabrioleur: .confd and .conf in my home dir? That's user specific.. The ubuntu default gnome settings is what I'm looking for [08:22] !info ndiswrapper-utils [08:22] Package ndiswrapper-utils does not exist in gutsy [08:22] Hemebond: lol, i know but noobs call vmare server and vmare the same [08:22] :( [08:22] u_angel: how can I add a new samba share? Samba is already installed [08:22] Onyx: do you have vmware utils or vmware server? [08:22] Ok, I tried bridge [08:22] Still no success [08:22] in the network applet, I chose eth4 [08:22] norv: /etc contains pretty much every application that's installed. What package is it that contains the default settings? Sorry for being so unclear [08:22] Do I need to choose someting else? [08:23] I have wired connection set to dhcp [08:23] u_angel: I've got VMWare Workstation 6.02 [08:23] and enabled [08:23] ramvi: you should have looked at the .gconf.. /etc/gconf maps to .gconf in the home directories [08:23] i Have VmWare Player [08:23] u_angel: Don't worry, I know what I've got... [08:23] Onyx: should be as easy as right clicking a folder and clicking on share folder, [08:23] ramvi, /usr/share/gnome/default.session (don't be so hasty) [08:23] What eth [08:24] ramvi: http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ [08:24] am i supposed to be on [08:24] Can someone just give me a link to a documentation to help me out on this???? [08:24] since no one is helping me [08:25] Dooot DA Doot [08:25] Whered everyone go? [08:25] churka, because you are at the wrong spot. Try #vmware [08:25] Oh, thanks [08:26] cabrioleur: thanks, but that's just the default sessions file. Where does it say that the should be a top panel, a bottom panel etc? [08:26] any file recover tool for linux that supports ex3? [08:26] u_angel: All right... now how do I browse to that share in Linux? [08:26] churka: http://www.vmware.com/support/gsx3/doc/network_change_bridged_gsx.html [08:26] thanks [08:26] any file recover tool for linux that supports ext3? and supports file recovery for openoffice and abiword? [08:27] ramvi, :/usr/share/gconf/defaults [08:27] Onyx: yeah, but you should do the share on the host (ubuntu) and then look for it on the guest (xp) [08:27] dwho: if you delete from ext3, it's gone - unless the app is still open. Still would be difficult though [08:28] u_angel: Eh, that sounds like a huge pain in the ass. How can I just make it a samba share? [08:28] it's possible though, with foremost [08:28] cabrioleur: whoa, thanks a lot! :) [08:28] dwho: openoffice recovers files [08:28] inaety_ : the deleted ones? [08:28] ramvi: sorry for mistaking /etc/gconf with /usr/share/gconf.. [08:29] dwho: not sure but it will recover it if it was opened [08:29] norv: no worries, thanks for helping out [08:29] ubuntu graffic mode is die [08:29] Onyx: you call it a samba share, meaning a share on the ubuntu, meaning that you are just rephrasing what i just said [08:29] thoreauputic : dunno any successful tutorial/tips and tools? [08:30] Onyx: right click a folder on the ubuntu box, click on share, then from the vmare box look for your ubuntu box then the folder [08:30] u_angel: If I'm sharing a folder on the host, that's definitely not a network share. [08:30] u_angel: ... which is the entire point of samba [08:30] ramvi, no problemo. Happy new year. [08:30] dwho: not off the top of my head, sorry - as I said, if you delete files in ext3, they are gone. The alternative is if the app is still open you can find the inode - but I've never done it [08:31] cabrioleur: right back at ya [08:31] dwho: you could look at foremost and an OpenDocument "magic" to place in foremost.conf [08:31] Hello, I need to repair my ubuntu partition [08:32] Onyx: from the viewpoint of a vmware vm, it is on a network - the host is networked with the vm [08:32] dwho: it's very complex, but then again it's not for end users. Link rm to mv next time [08:32] I put the live cd of 7.10 in [08:32] : opendocument magic? is it a tool? [08:32] jescis fsck -a /dev/sdxx [08:32] Onyx: i am getting a headache, just how much do you know about vmare and network share? maybe i am assuming too much here. [08:33] : hehehehehe not problem... my niece deleted her files... hahahahaha... she's been crying all night... [08:33] dwho: magic numbers, I.e. how file tells that it's a opendocument file [08:33] Onyx: buddy, vmare create a virtual machine, meaning, it will be on your network [08:33] dwho: also if you are running low on disk you will have lost the file, 99% [08:33] hey guys. how can i disable my wireless connection via the command line? (i'm not using networkmanager here) [08:33] u_angel: I'm new to vmware, I know about network shares, and I'm not that great with Windows stuff either. [08:33] : that's what am about to ask... i need a recipe for openoffice and abiword [08:34] rico: ifconfig down [08:34] rico: sudo iwconfig [interface] down [08:34] Onyx: GREAT, ok so let bring it back. sry for assuming. so you have a shared folder in ubuntu using samba, right? [08:34] u_angel: Yup [08:34] MY SOUND CARD WORKSS! [08:34] rico: ifconfig should work too [08:35] I can hear sounds again [08:35] Aztec007, Coool!!! [08:35] cabrioleur: THERE YOU ARE! [08:35] cabrioleur: believe me when I say that your help has been music to my ears! [08:35] what a great way to start the new year [08:35] ! [08:36] Onyx: ok, now go the vmware machine and look for your host, do you know that name of your ubuntu? [08:36] Aztec007, no problemo! happy new year from Poland! [08:36] : do you know a place where you can point me to make a recipe for opendocument and abiword for magicbyte [08:36] is "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-common" the same as "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" ? [08:36] Hemebond: I don't think so :) [08:36] cabrioleur: well, jindobre to you my good friend [08:36] Okay, well, I still can't open any GUI applications. [08:37] cabrioleur: or is it danke? [08:37] fsck says: /dev/hdb2 clean [08:37] either way thanks a million! [08:37] Aztec007, :-) Hi! Not, that's german. Dzien dobry is good, but you spelled it like you hear it. [08:38] thanks norv, it worked :) [08:38] cabrioleur: Ah, so thats how you spell it, I work at school with Polish students and I picked up a couple of words here and there [08:39] i have another question though. whats a fast way to do a file transfer over a network? (linux machine -> windows machine) right now i'm using windows's shared folders over a home router and i'm getting a slow 2mb per second rate. [08:39] would a crossover cable be a better solution? [08:39] cabrioleur: Happy New Years my good friend, now I'm gonna have another drink before I download a package that messes my soundcard up again :) [08:39] Aztec007, be harsh to them. They need to learn hard! [08:39] rico, try firewire :-) [08:40] my windows machine doesn't have a firewire card.. hehe [08:40] cabrioleur: lol, Most of those kids are very nice, but I'll be harsh to them just because you told me to [08:40] but how can I do a firewire network between 2 computers? [08:40] When i screwed up my partition i installed libc6 and removed tzdata [08:41] cabrioleur: Once again, thank you for taking the time to help me out with my sound card problem and I wish you a happy New Year! [08:41] then i tryed to remove libc6 to reinstalltzdata [08:41] HAPPY NEW YEARS TO ALL!!! [08:42] LONG LIVE LINUX!! [08:42] HNY!!!!!!!! [08:42] happy new year [08:42] jescis: and everything broke, right? [08:42] rico, firewire is design as a link. Rico, invest in high speed hardware? [08:42] yes [08:42] Aztec007, my pleasure. Happy new year! [08:42] jescis: libc6 is,,,umm absolutely basic [08:43] exit [08:43] jescis: for future reference - don't mess with libc6 [08:43] but tzdata can't work with it [08:43] jescis: are you running gutsy? [08:43] yes [08:44] jescis: what happened with tzdata ? [08:44] I removed it to install bliss [08:44] .. and of course tzdata works with libc6 - everything reliese on libc6 [08:44] bless* [08:45] jescis: why? [08:45] jescis: you should *never* try to remove libc6 [08:45] I couldn't find my info for e-mail from outlook [08:45] I could never convince my sister to switch to Linux even with the compiz fancy spinny cube and wobbly windows, because of some "cursors" thing [08:46] (Someone whose limit of software begins and ends with firefox) [08:46] hello [08:46] i need help regarding to disable internal mouse in my laptop [08:46] norv, not everybody needs to use it. It's just what's more productive. [08:46] i disabled in BIOS, but someho it works under xubuntu [08:47] any idea how to disable it? [08:47] fodi, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:47] so can evolution get e-mail info from outlook? [08:48] fodi, find the section with your mouse, and put # sign in front of every line on this section. But before you do this, make a backup copy of the file and make sure you know how to fix it when xorg is down. [08:48] cabrioleur, i t tried it: included touchpadoff 1, but the same, should i do anything else? [08:49] fodi, what's your touchpad?

Which channel can I ask a question about that in? [08:55] fodi, there was a way in slackware [08:55] hwolff: if it's Ubuntu-related, you can ask here [08:55] fodi, but ubuntu doesn't have shm module.

I have kubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, and a dual screen (meaning I have two monitors). Some games (which I can not set to "Windowed" mode center over the two monitors, so now I have the center of the game between my two monitors. [08:57] Any idea how I can counter that? [08:58] hwolff: I don't persoally - somenone else might know [08:58] *personally [08:58] f.e. is there a way to swich to single-monitor view without reboot? [08:58] hwolff: You could create a new X session. [08:59] cabrioleur, might help if comment out inputdevice "Synaptic Touchpad" xorg.conf? [08:59] But then, that can lead to trouble. [08:59] fodi, yes, but I thought you did it already. [08:59] hey guys how do i set the nvidia driver to autoboot every time i start ubuntu [08:59] it doesnt [08:59] david are you sure? [09:00] yea [09:00] ive got the new 8800 512 g92 model [09:00] Hemebond, How can I start a windowed new X session? [09:00] it should autoload as a kernel module [09:00] startx --:1:1 [09:00] dhrh [09:00] hwolff: Right now I wouldn't recommend it. [09:00] cabrioleur, i tried only the config section then my x completely crashed, but now i found only 1 line at the end of xorg.conf... [09:00] cabrioleur, let me see come back later [09:01] I've been sitting here for the passed 2 hours unable to open any applications because I started playing with X sessions. [09:01] Hemebond, what can happen? ;) [09:01] Oh... [09:01] david__, not loading autowhat? Can you describe the problem? [09:01] good... I'l try something else. [09:01] thank you [09:01] bye [09:01] can anyone reccomend a good x-settings-daemon other then gnome-settings-daemon [09:02] every time i start ubuntu it says load in low graphics mode [09:02] then i install the driver every time i log on and the driver works fine [09:02] oh, by the way this is what linux is good for Experiance and not being confined by others :) [09:02] david__: It is loading [09:02] ? it is [09:02] magic_ninja: it might be more usefule to describe what you are trying to achieve [09:02] But there's a problem with your X config [09:02] So it's falling back to basic drivers. [09:02] like you are in windoze [09:02] oh [09:02] Before Gutsy you'd get thrown back to a console. [09:02] is there a command to change what driver im using [09:03] sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:03] thoreauputic: a light-weight settings daemon in icewm [09:03] is there a way to copy files over the command line while showing a progress meter of sorts? [09:03] magic_ninja: if you are trying to make gtk2 themes and such look OK , check out the gtk switch package [09:04] rico: cp -v [09:04] thoreauputic: i need the gnome-settings-daemon, it does the trick, but i need an alternative [09:04] magic_ninja: which trick are you talking about? [09:05] rico, you can use mc. [09:05] magic_ninja: ahm the package is called " gtk-theme-switch" [09:05] oh okay. :) [09:05] thoreauputic: makes the fonts, windows and buttons look nice, clean and readable, but that still doesn't give me a lightweight settings daemon [09:05] thoreauputic: i already have it its not quite what i need, but yes i use it [09:06] magic_ninja: I'm still trying to nail down whay functioanlity you actually need or want [09:06] hello, i got today new server :) (ibm system x3400) when i try to install ubuntu from the live cd the computer working ok , and when it should get to the desktop screen i get black screen? [09:06] * s/whay/what [09:06] cabrioleur, comment out synaptic touchpad not helped, should i do anything after modify xorg.conf (i restarted the system)? [09:07] magic_ninja: in other words, please clarify what is missing [09:07] fodi, find the module that's enabling it, and rip it off like a beast! Like a man! [09:07] cabrioleur, :) [09:07] thoreauputic: the settings daemon controls window borders, button shapes, gtk themes in gtk apps and makes the fonts anti-aliased and readable, i want a lightweight alternative that does what gnome-settings-daemon does [09:08] thoreauputic: just kill gnome-settings-daemon and watch what happens and you will see [09:08] hi, installed apache2 and configured it for https access - unable to access http on port 80 now. Any ideas? [09:08] Hey for some reason my mouse starts skipping all over the place when I use azureus. Anyone have any idea why? Using a Logitech G7, my computer specs are 8800gts(drivers installed), q6600 quad core @ 2.4ghz, 4gb ram [09:08] magic_ninja: I know what it does :) I use it in fluxbox for example [09:08] Hello [09:09] cabrioleur, any idea how to find the module [09:09] johnnymo1218: How did you configure it? You've got separate virtual hosts, yeah? [09:09] fodi, it's a track point, not touchpad, right? [09:09] magic_ninja: I take it that icewm doesn't do anti-aliasing by itself? [09:09] cabrioleur, yes [09:09] Happy New Year!!! [09:09] Hemebond: yeh, sepearte vhosts - also have ports 80 and 443 listed in ports.conf! [09:10] thoreauputic: i don't know how to make it any clearer...i want a lightweight substitute for gnome-settings-daemon [09:10] johnnymo1218: What happens with you try to access it on 80? [09:10] Hemebond: bad request error - hint use https [09:10] is there a way to find out what identd you have on your machine? [09:11] johnnymo1218: Any chance we can get you to pastebin both conf files in sites-enabled? [09:11] magic_ninja: I was trying to help by finding out if there were alternatives that did what you need. Apparently you have already decided so I shall stop :) [09:11] johnnymo1218: I'd need to see your conf [09:11] johnnymo1218: You've reloaded the config, right? [09:11] fodi, do you have /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/serio2? [09:11] Hemebond: reloaded server after each change, whats the url for pastebin? [09:12] thoreauputic: ohh i see, i have been googling like crazy and having no luck, i dont think there are any [09:12] !paste | johnnymo1218 [09:12] johnnymo1218: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [09:12] I have an apple IIe [09:12] magic_ninja: is there an icewm channel? Might be worth trying [09:12] thanks - i'll post now... [09:12] thoreauputic: lol hardly anyone in there [09:12] magic_ninja: web site? docs? [09:13] jescis, good times. I have a commodore 64. [09:13] thoreauputic: basically i'm looking for an x-settings-daemon [09:13] cabrioleur, i have /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio0, but no serio2 underneath serio0 [09:14] magic_ninja: I would probably google something like " icewm configuration fonts gtk " [09:14] fodi, do you have any serio? [09:14] Does anyone know where Firefox gets the actions which are shown with "Open With"? [09:15] if not, go to subsystem/drivers and check there. [09:15] cabrioleur, no [09:16] not even in subsystem/drivers? [09:18] cabrioleur, there is ./serio0/driver/serio0 [09:18] Hi, are there any cool 3D shooter type RPG's that are GNU/OpenSource / Freeware for ubuntu? [09:18] fodi, what about in /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1? [09:18] Such as DeusEX [09:18] fodi, do you have a file called press_to_select in there? [09:18] Something like a cyberpunk type adventure [09:18] what does a make file look like? [09:19] fodi, do you have a file press_to_select in it? [09:20] im having problems in recognizing my wireless network please help : [09:20] Hemebond: posted config files here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50365/ - thanks. [09:20] u_angel: if you want to see a make file, download some source code and have a look at one :) [09:21] u_angel: most source tarballs contain a make file :) [09:21] i've installed the latest WLan driver but its not working [09:22] distro ubuntu gutsy 7.10 [09:22] johnnymo1218: I can't check because of my little X problem, but I think you need to qualify each virtual host entry with a port. [09:22] driver : atheros AR5007eg [09:23] Hemebond: i'll try and let you know result.. [09:26] cabrioleur, not found press_to_select [09:26] how do I start X from the shell ? [09:26] cabrioleur, oops i found under serio4 [09:26] Hemebond: no joy adding Listen to vhosts - also get error when specifically set port in url... [09:27] sorry [09:27] I meant [09:27] >> [09:28] fodi, echo -n 1 > press_to_select [09:28] or perhaps even on the NameVirtualHost [09:28] fodi, echo -n 0 > press_to_select [09:28] You might have better luck in #apache [09:28] Hemebond have any idea about Wlan drivers ? :) [09:28] cabrioleur, which one? 0? [09:28] anyone know why my terminal and helps opens up on startup [09:28] how do i tell if a package is installed [09:28] fodi, yes, 0 to disable, and 1 to enable. [09:29] Amerioz: Wireless? Nope. Never used it. [09:29] Amerio, what's the problem? [09:29] cabrioleur, ok is it disable permanently? [09:29] johnny_: you possibly saved asession with thoes apps running [09:29] grrr typos... [09:29] fodi, I don't know. In normal distribution, yes, in ubuntu, God knows. [09:29] cabrioleaur: Have Siemens Fujitsu Li 1718 with atheros AR5007eg for WLAN , Installed the latest driver and wireless isnt working , Distro : Ubuntu gutsy 7.10 [09:30] does anyone know how to get mozilla-mplayer working in edgy? [09:30] cabrioleur, ok [09:30] fodi, you can make it a script for startup [09:30] johnny_: You should be able to just install it. [09:30] anyone know why my terminal and helps opens up on startup [09:30] Whats the best option for ext2/3 support in windows? [09:31] rencore_: sorry I answered that but directed to the wrong nick [09:31] oh well then it should be able to just work then Hemebond [09:31] johnny_: Yeap. What happens? [09:31] rencore_: did you ave a session with those apps running? [09:31] rencore_: s/ave/save [09:31] thoreauputic, ooh sorry yea [09:31] nothing [09:31] theres just a grey square where the video player should be [09:32] thoreauputic, how can i get rid of it [09:32] cabrioleaur: and I think my laptop detected it because typying lspci i get Thernet COntroller : Atheros Communications AR5006EG [09:32] rencore_: try closing anything you don't want and saving the session [09:32] Whats the best option for ext2/3 support in windows? [09:32] rencore_: System - preferences - sessions [09:32] cabrioleur: and I think my laptop detected it because typying lspci i get Thernet COntroller : Atheros Communications AR5006EG [09:32] Amerio, did you try to install drivers before? [09:33] Hemebond: still no joy - the server is always listening on port 443 regardless, despite having port 80 and 443 listed in ports.conf. Will keep plugging away. [09:33] thoreauputic, ok then what [09:33] rencore_: that's all really [09:33] cabrioleur: nop :) [09:33] !ndiswrapper > Amerioz [09:33] rencore_: on next log in they should not open [09:33] why am i not getting any sound in Css ? but i can hear anything else ? any1 know how to fix it. sometimes the sound in css will work though [09:33] thoreauputic, ok im gonna try now [09:33] johnnymo1218: If I get my problem fixed I'll start up my VM and check those settings. [09:33] cabrioleur: got the ndiswrapper , compiled it and installed it [09:34] Amerio, did you install drivers in ndiswrapper? [09:34] Hemebond: cheers - its appreciated. [09:34] cabrioleur: yup which is the atheros driver [09:34] is there a way to remove evolution without removing ubuntu-desktop? [09:34] In the mean time, jump into #apache and ask there [09:34] Amerio, does your ndiswrapper -l shows the card? [09:34] thoreauputic, that worked [09:35] Amerioz, I'm keeping messing up your name. [09:35] johnny_: ubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage - it won't remove your desktop :) [09:35] thoreauputic, thanks [09:35] why am i not getting any sound in Css ? but i can hear anything else ? any1 know how to fix it. sometimes the sound in css will work though [09:35] rencore_: no problem :) [09:35] last time i did it it removed a whole bunch of other stuff [09:35] cabrioleur: yup , driver installed [09:35] johnny_: evolution is pretty tightly integrated in gnome, yes [09:36] Amerio, did you do sudo ndiswrapper -ma? [09:36] what is vino-server? [09:36] johnny_: I just leave it there personally - I prefer the sylpheed mail client [09:37] johnny_: it's a vnc server [09:37] cabrioleur: module config. info. stored in /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper [09:37] Amerioz, cool, now sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [09:38] cabrioleur: done [09:38] cabrioleur, my track point still working [09:38] fodi, restart X's [09:38] cabrioleur, i have done it [09:38] fodi, check if it changed the value of the file back to 1. [09:39] Amerioz, type "sudo iwlist scan" [09:39] Amerioz, and see if it can detect any wireless networks [09:39] Amerioz, at this point your wireless should work. [09:40] cabrioleur, still 0 in the file...strange that the size become 4096B [09:40] cabrioleur: lo : interface doesnt support scanning , wlan0 : no scan results [09:40] Amerioz, do you have wireless networks available?? [09:41] cabrioleur: yup [09:41] Amerioz, sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid SSID-Here key WEP-Key-Here [09:41] Amerioz, and then sudo dhclient wlan0 [09:43] cabrioleur: no DHCPOFFERS recieved , no working leases in persistent database - sleeping [09:43] hi, I'm trying to compile Ggradebook in edubuntu, and I'm getting an error, 'Can't find libraries (or headers) of "gtk+"', what do I do? [09:44] simonova: how do you try to compile? [09:44] thoreauputic, why does capplets-data take so long?

[09:46] hello , i need help please, i got new server model : ibm system x3400 , but when i get to the desktop (live cd) and try to install ubuntu , the live cd cant find my hdd ? [09:47] 2.12.3 [09:47] musikgoat: grep -A 2 -B 2 will give 2 lines befre and after [09:47] cabrioleur: i followed this guide [09:47] thanks Enselic [09:47] cabrioleur: but didnt work with me [09:48] did you remove ath_pci? [09:48] eli542, so which version of ubuntu are you trying to us? [09:48] cabrioleur: blacklisted it [09:48] simonova: then ./configure fails to find dev files for GTK+ for you for some reason [09:48] eli542, so which version of ubuntu are you trying to use? (first typo of the year) [09:48] Amerioz, so it's not loaded? Sure? [09:48] ompaul: ubutnu 7.10 desktop 64 bit [09:48] maybe a bug in hardy? [09:49] simonova: are you on hardy? [09:49] cabrioleur: how 2 make sure if its loaded or not? [09:49] yes [09:49] simonova: then you should be in #ubuntu+1 [09:49] ah, ok, thanks [09:49] simonova: but anway, please pastebin config.log [09:49] @eli542 I had the same problem with a Notebook... [09:49] Amerioz, sudo lsmod | grep ath [09:49] eli542, just do yourself a favour and try the 32bit version it should not be different but you never know [09:49] * jescis peeks at thoreauputic [09:50] cabrioleur: then? [09:50] * thoreauputic runs away [09:50] if you don't see anything, you don't have it [09:50] cabrioleur: yeah nothing happened [09:50] Amerioz, did you use the drivers they said on the web, or from cd? [09:50] ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/aspire_5100/driver/802ABG_Atheros_v5_1_1_9.zip [09:51] cabrioleur: no the drivers on the web [09:51] ompaul: sorry but i must have the 64 bit version , i have 16 GB ram , and i working with some script that working only in 64 bit env... [09:51] Amerioz, can you check the cersion? They won't work if thy are old. [09:51] Amerioz, version. [09:51] Karyom: how you fixed this problem ? [09:52] cabrioleur: the url u gave isnt working [09:52] eli542, this was to test disk access the 16gig you can do later -at that level I guess you better start talking to canonical support [09:52] HAPPY NEW YEAR! i napped right through it so im gonna tell it to every person still awake!! muwhahaha [09:53] Amerioz, ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/aspire_5100/driver/Wireless_Atheros_V5.3.0.67_XP_XB63_XB62(WHQL).zip [09:53] ompaul: why i should install 32 bit version when i have hardware of 64 bit ? [09:53] Creed, happy new year!! [09:53] cabrioleur, lol dankies :D [09:53] cabrioleur: ok i'll copy it to the laptop , compile and install then i'll get back 2 u ok? [09:53] eli542, to see if the disk drives got picked up - it would give a clue as to what needed to be done next [09:54] Amerioz, don't compile anything. Just remove old driver from ndiswrapper and install this one. [09:54] ompaul: mm ok ... wait i will try to find the cd of the 32 bit [09:54] cabrioleur: then how to remove the old driver from ndiswrapper? [09:55] Amerioz, ndiswrapper -r name_of_the_driver [09:55] Amerioz, you can get the name from ndiswrapper -l [09:55] * jescis laughs at thoreauputic running away [09:55] * thoreauputic cries [09:56] :'( [09:56] :D [09:56] awwww [09:56] 8-) [09:57] cabrioleur: install the new one using ndiswrapper? [09:57] Amerioz, yes, the same way you installed old one. [09:58] !bootoptions | eli542 -- this might help a bit [09:58] eli542 -- this might help a bit: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [09:58] Amerioz, sudo ndiswrapper -i name.inf [09:58] Can someone tell me what "echo $DISPLAY" should return? [09:59] Hemebond: usually :0 [09:59] Well, :0.0 more. [09:59] actually :0.0 yes [09:59] who knows how to set up /etc/xdg and such? [10:00] I tried changing the session from starting xfwm4 to compiz, and poof. nothing. now I set it back, and nothing [10:00] why not just add compiz --replace to your startup? [10:00] not really that clean but easier [10:00] Hemebond: if you are using a second X server you would expect to see :1.0 or something like that [10:00] Hemebond, depends if you did it in X it would be the :0.0 in a terminal nothing [10:01] scguy318: is there a literal .startup directory anywhere? [10:01] Well, I've basically screwed up my X session. [10:01] It returns :0.0 [10:01] !sysinit | norv (this may help) [10:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about sysinit - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:01] But I can't run anything. [10:01] norv: not sure [10:01] !upstart | norv (this may help) [10:01] norv (this may help): Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [10:01] cabrioleur: done [10:01] I just keep getting things like "Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server" [10:01] Oh no, not sysv again [10:01] Hemebond: check the permissions on ~/.Xauthority [10:01] this is NOT something to do at the init level [10:01] or "Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:" [10:02] Hemebond, by any chance have you got a root password? [10:02] cabrioleur: reboot? [10:02] thoreauputic: I'm the owner, it has RW [10:02] ompaul: Yes [10:02] is there a way to have GDM start "startx" script? [10:02] Hemebond: you can't run two X sessions on the same display - you would need something like startx -- :1 [10:02] thoreauputic: I did [10:02] seeing as it's MUCH simpler than antyhing i've ever seen [10:02] OK [10:02] That's how I got into this mess. [10:03] norv: Wouldn't that kind of defeat the purpose of GDM? o; [10:03] Hemebond, ooch okay so we can try and rescue it - do this cd /home/user and [10:04] aubade: well, putting it in init is even more pointless [10:04] aubade: got any better idea than going back to startx? [10:04] norv: Restarting the daemon, maybe? X) [10:05] aubade: um, been doing that over, and over, and over [10:05] Hemebond, sudo -R chown username:username . << note the dot and log out and back in - then sudo password -l root - to remove the root password and stay away from it ;-) [10:05] aubade: every time I change a configuration [10:05] ompaul: I didn't use root to get into this mess. [10:05] I don't use it at all in fact. [10:06] I've got an application that wants libgtk-1.2.so.0. I have libgtk-2 (determined by looking in package manager). Can I install libgtk-1.2 besides it without any problems? [10:06] Hemebond, then crtl alt back space and reboot the box and you should be okay soon enough [10:06] My file server has stopped accepting ssh connections from most or all machines on my local lan. Hosts Allow is set to ALL: LOCAL and hosts deny is set to ALL:ALL ssh has been working fine for a while. If I try to get a remote X session to the server I get an error about a font failing to init. Any idea what I need to look at or do to fix it? Nothing changed to my knowledge to cause this. [10:06] ompaul: I'd rather not risk it to be honest. [10:06] Plus I have a lot of work open. [10:07] cabrioleur: rebooted , still not working [10:07] I am able to connect via VNC so that much works [10:07] Hemebond, close the work and get on with it - you are stuck you have to pay some price [10:07] Does SSH expire after a while? [10:08] ompaul: Why am I stuck? What is preventing me from accessing my own X session? [10:08] How do I increase luminosity in totem ? [10:09] Hemebond, ctrl alt f7 - can you get back to it? [10:09] I'm in my main X session now. [10:09] hi People :), trying install flash player on my notebook return me this error: md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz so The Flash player is not installed, is this a bug? [10:09] I just can't open new applications. [10:09] anyone here use 'envy' with gutsy? [10:09] for some reason my fresh install is saying i have xen installed when i dont and not allowing me to install nvidia drivers [10:09] meshuga: That the Nvidia driver installer? [10:10] !envy | meshuga [10:10] meshuga: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [10:10] meshuga: Nvidia drivers are installed on Gutsy by default. [10:10] well, nv didnt even load [10:10] meshuga, it takes effort to install xen a lot of effort [10:10] it went to vesa for some weird reason [10:11] You have another problem then. [10:11] Chances are, NV would load. Sure it's not failing to load nvidia instead? [10:13] is there a way to find out what binaires that link against a particular library? [10:13] Enselic: what do you mean? [10:13] Hemebond: hrm, i guess what i meant was, it just defaulted as vesa [10:14] and not nv [10:14] mhr: I have built libwnck and I would like to know which programs that links against this library [10:14] and restricted modules i enabled, but its still marked as 'not in use' [10:17] Enselic: is it a shared library i.e. does it end with .so ?

[10:19] mhr: yup [10:20] how to use svn ? [10:20] !svn [10:20] svn is Subversion: an open-source revision control system, which aims to be a compelling replacement for CVS. See http://subversion.tigris.org/ [10:20] ompaul: i think the problem its becouse of the raid [10:21] eli542, unsupported raid card? [10:21] *yawn* [10:22] Myrtti, youze don't be yawnin in this channel! [10:22] Enselic: not quite sure how to achieve that, I had a look at the "Shared Libraries HOWTO" (http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html) but they only explain how the libraries are loaded once a binary is started [10:23] mhr: I guess I could ldd all libs on my system and grep for libwnck [10:23] just thought there might be a Better way === asdf is now known as rkpisanu [10:24] Enselic: shouldn't be too bad .. particularly if you combine it with the 'find' command ..

[10:38] aha [10:38] X :1 [10:41] I am using ubuntu with gnome and would like to have just a single (window system) selection (I know this is possible with KDE) i.e. I don't want to distinguish between the PRIMARY (which is expected to represent the current visual selection and CLIPBOARD (which is expected to be used for cut, copy and paste operations) [10:41] any ideas on this? [10:43] Hi, i noticed there was a PSX emulator in 6.06 ubuntu but now on gutsy its gone? [10:44] In the add/remove [10:44] I have fixed ssh on my file server so that I can ssh localhost on it, but its still refusing to allow ssh connections from other machines in my network. Where do I poke it to tell it to allow connections from the local lan? [10:44] neopsyche: hrrm well look in http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and see if you can figure out ... Note 6.06=Dapper [10:45] can konsole act like gnome-terminal, when there is a new terminal tab, It can remember the directory before. [10:45] Smegzor: erm .. first of all check listen port [10:45] thanks enyc [10:45] Smegzor: do a "netstat -ltn" and look for ":22" in there [10:46] ok on the file server or on my pc? [10:46] !ubotu emerald [10:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about emerald - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:46] Smegzor: on the machine listeninf for ssh [10:46] Smegzor: it might say "tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN" [10:46] HNY! ;) [10:46] ok [10:47] found it and its listed exactly as you gave it [10:47] Smegzor: ok well it IS listening on all network interfaces [10:47] Smegzor: well now you say its 'refusing' from network? give details [10:48] johnnymo1218: You still there? [10:48] one or two possibly significant changes I made recently. I upgraded the firmware on my router and I completely unplugged my switch. cables will not necessarily be in the same ports they previously occupied. [10:49] i don't know enough about networking to know if that matters [10:49] Hemebond: hi - still here [10:49] Smegzor: which port on switch or inside-router should not matter [10:49] Smegzor: connectios between LAN<>WAN on router however are problem [10:49] Smegzor: just ... try to SSH to the server by its internal IP address ;-) [10:50] i did have to rebuild my router from factory defaults. ssh localhost works from the file server itself [10:50] johnnymo1218: You need NameVirtualHost *:80 and NameVirtualHost *:443 [10:50] i'll check my router's lan/wan for clues [10:50] Smegzor: ok ok so ssh (ip address) from another machine [10:50] Smegzor: dont look at router [10:50] And matching [10:50] Smegzor: just look at 'ifconfig' on file server ... you will find the 'inet addr' (IP address) on the machine [10:50] ssh from this machine fails. i'll try again now [10:50] Hemebond: both for each vhost? [10:51] Smegzor: and 'ssh 192.168.2.23' or whatever it is from another [10:51] johnnymo1218: No no. Put both NameVirtualHost entries at the top. [10:51] ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host [10:51] Smegzor: ok ok weird [10:51] Hemebond: ah - ok. will try now... [10:51] johnnymo1218: But then you must have entries for each (80 and 443) [10:51] trying from the other file server brb [10:51] Smegzor: try this -- "telnet 192.168.2.23 22" (whatever the ip is in there of course) [10:52] ok [10:52] johnnymo1218: And make sure there's no SSL stuff in the :80 virtual host. [10:52] connection refused [10:52] Smegzor: how are you getting the ip address of the other machine? [10:52] they're all static [10:52] How can I install Gutsy without burning the iso? [10:53] tuntun: well you could install in a virtual machine using the iso-image-file ;-) [10:53] tuntun: if you know enough you might be able to put its files on a hdd and do a clever mounting arrangement whatnot ... it gets arkward [10:53] tuntun: What OS you using right now? [10:53] xp [10:53] Smegzor: is there some kind of firewall config on the fileserver? [10:54] nope. i'm running ubuntu. what would I need that for? :) [10:54] Smegzor: doublecheck your facts first... LOOK in "ifconfig" on the machines [10:55] enyc: ok [10:55] Smegzor: telnet (ip) 22 -- you should see the SSH- banner whatnot [10:55] Smegzor: you can check it ON the machine AND from another machine using the network ip address -- NOT just localhost [10:55] Anyone know how I can determine what mime-types are used for a given extension? [10:55] how can I avoid doing a big update after installing gutsy? [10:55] tuntun: remaster the cd? [10:56] enyc: so you mean telnet 192.168.2.15 22 ? [10:56] remaster how? [10:56] tuntun: you could like do a new install... "sudo apt-get -yd dist-upgrade" and then copy the /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb in order you can then copy those to any other machine that needs updates after install [10:56] Smegzor: yes [10:56] tuntun: dont know. research it ;-) [10:56] enyc: I get different results doing that on the 2 machines [10:57] enyc: on the problem file server I get nothing but on my pc which also has ssh running I get stuff about ssh [10:57] Smegzor: you should get something like SSH-2.0- blah blah blah [10:57] enyc: it does connect though on the file server locally [10:57] Smegzor: or SSH-1.99- etc. [10:57] enyc: definitely not getting that atm [10:58] Smegzor: hangon what do you mean on the file server locally EXACTLY? [10:58] and I am getting that on my own pc [10:58] Smegzor: you mean if you 'telnet localhost 22' you get the SSH- banner bit? [10:58] i have a vnc session open to the file server with a terminal open there [10:58] well i could do a new install and then make an update iso with aptoncd, but how can i cut install the lastest packages from the servers? [10:58] Smegzor: ok fune... and if you 'telnet localhost 22' you get SSH-2.0- banner up? [10:58] i'm trying what u said on a local terminal and on the vnc'ed terminal. different results [10:59] only on my pc, not on the file server [10:59] Smegzor: hangon ... so from the fileserver itself you cannot get a SSH-2.0- message at all by 'telnet localhost 22' ? [10:59] enyc: thats a no btw :) [10:59] enyc: correct [10:59] Smegzor: if you cant get that then 'ssh localhost' wont work either [11:00] enyc: hang on. i didn't try localhost i was using the local ip [11:00] Smegzor: test both !!!! [11:00] Smegzor: you need to test everything carefully 1 bit at a time! [11:00] localhost does give the ssh message [11:00] hmm.. i'll confirm that the local ip is actually correct. I can ping it from outside though. [11:01] Going to restart X. If I don't come back it's because I've been locked out of X and I hate you all. [11:02] how can i do a clean install and have the lastest packages from the update servers? [11:02] O.o host name and workgroup are blank now. I think I might have found the problem [11:03] how can i do a clean install and have the lastest packages from the update servers? [11:04] how can i do a clean install whilst having the latest packages from the update servers? [11:05] enyc: ok My network panel on the file server in ubuntu (its just running desktop ubuntu) somehow became blank in the hostname and network name boxes. It also lost the dns entries and I have restored all of these. Now the only thing still blank is my hosts panel in that network config panel. [11:07] Everything back to normal. [11:07] tuntun: i think it updates many packages at install time if available [11:07] And Ion3 doesn't work. [11:07] Proeprly. [11:07] Smegzor: hrrm i se i see something weirds foing on then [11:07] enyc: putting back all those missing settings hasn't changed my problems so far. I'll reboot the box (it works for Windows) :) [11:07] Smegzor: i tend to edit hosts hostname etc. manually myself [11:07] Smegzor: i dont tend to use the clicky-frontend-mouse-user-thingamiwodgits [11:08] that hosts tab is usually full of entries to do with localhost stuff. its completely bare atm [11:08] anyway I'm rebooting it to see if it repopulates. [11:10] enyc: I'm a Windows user only recently gone full time Linux. I'm still addicted to gui's but I use the console and gedit quite a bit for some stuff. [11:12] How can I fix this couple of errors: http://rafb.net/p/TSeGDf99.html [11:13] Smegzor: id be tempted (if possible) to install the same ubuntu version/cd on another machine just with a different ip/name and then COMPARE your: /etc/hosts /etc/hostname /etc/resolv.conf /etc/network/interfaces files. you may find whats breaking it [11:13] Hi. I installed LAMP on gutsy but now when i try to use automatic update i get the erorr message: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/mysql etc: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 === tyczek_ is now known as Tyczek [11:15] enyc: I've already done that. I have 2 file servers with identical hardware both installed from the same ubuntu cd (7.04) They were both upgraded to 7.10 and for the most part they are clones with different ip's. [11:15] enyc: I'm always having trouble getting them both to behave the same way. Usually one will do something that the other refuses to. Today it is SSH. [11:16] Smegzor: COMPARE your: /etc/hosts /etc/hostname /etc/resolv.conf /etc/network/interfaces files. between the 2 machines ;-) [11:16] enyc: I've rebooted the server and the hosts tab in manual network config is still empty. [11:16] Smegzor: look at the files directly. close frontend tools. [11:17] ok. that'll take a few minutes. If I find anything or better yet, fix it, I'll let you know. [11:18] anyone know how i can make dvb-s work with gusty? === benjamin is now known as overunity [11:22] happy new year [11:22] I'm in January 2nd ^^ [11:22] happy new year! i have a problem with ubuntu 7.10. sadly my sound would not work, tho it was working in 7.04. it's a new install. to be honest, i don't know much about linux. is somebody willing to help me with this?

[12:15] wtf [12:15] fivetwentysix: you seem to have a clear idea of what is and isnt causing this; why ask for help then?

[12:18] bazhang: the problem is it stutters on my screen when i run a program which uses my harddrive and network at a higher rate [12:18] fivetwentysix: what make and model of mouse? === kohwj is now known as michaelkohwj [12:18] bazhang: such as bittorrent [12:18] bazhang: Logitech G7 [12:18] fivetwentysix: yet it does not work--so you have said yourself === michaelkohwj is now known as kohwj [12:19] well obviously you need to search launchpad.net to see if anyone else has described this problem, funny enough I started to have mouse problems a few weeks ago with another box - they started out small and ended up with the hardware doing a full belly flop - i.e. I have replaced that computer but what would any of us here know [12:19] mhr: same as the last time [12:19] bazhang: Why are you trying to help me when you obviously don't even know how to tackle this problem? [12:19] dude you are maxing out your system what is there to explain [12:20] Hi, does anyone know any program for ubuntu gutsy 64bit that i can manage Olympus SP-550 UZ digital camera ? [12:20] q1: does the mouse work normally after boot [12:20] bazhang: My mouse is fine! [12:20] q2: does the mouse stop working when your system is overloaded [12:20] so it's obvious [12:20] panosru: What about Picasa? [12:20] bazhang: it's that it stutters on the screen! [12:20] * Amerio pulling his hair off [12:20] bazhang: Mouse lag! [12:20] bazhang: Do you understand that? [12:20] fivetwentysix, about 6 people are now telling you things I guess you should scroll back a little and calm down [12:21] Amerio, what is your wireless thing [12:21] Eds, can picasa do this? oh i didn't knew that i will try it now, thanks 4 the tip! [12:21] hwilde: u mean the router? [12:21] Amerio, why are you pulling out your hair [12:21] lol [12:21] panosru: Hopefully it does what you need. I use it for more photo managment [12:21] because i've been trying 2 solve that since HOURS [12:21] * BernardB reboots [12:22] Amerio: I cannot try out some of the things .. I am in the office and my ubuntu-7.10 box is at home .. [12:22] Eds cool! Thanks and happy new year! :D [12:22] Amerio, restate your question sry [12:22] ompaul: The part where someone told me not to say "wtf" or the part where someone told me to change my batteries which are full or the part where someone is telling me my mouse is broken when it's perfectly fine. [12:22] hwilde: cannot run my wlan driver , its not working , its atheros , distro : ubuntu gutsy 7.10 [12:22] Amerio: one last thing: try editing /etc/network/interfaces and assigning a static IP address to the WLAN interface .. [12:23] fivetwentysix, all of the above - something in there might be useful or not as the case may be [12:23] Amerio, what is not working about it [12:23] hwilde: its not detecting any networks , hotkeys arent working too [12:23] fivetwentysix, if you kill all the programs does the mouse stutter [12:23] Amerio, go to super user, ifconfig ath0 down; ifconfig ath0 up; iwlist ath0 scan [12:23] mhr: its turned off again , do i need to type that command 2 turn it on always [12:23] fivetwentysix: I never said anything about your batteries; I suggested you try a different mouse; you have a very custom setup streaming files from a ps3 using mediatomb and that is likely the source of the problem--sorry not to be able to help such a serious situation [12:23] hwilde no if i just turn off my torrent client it doesn't stutter! [12:24] so maybe your torrent client is doing things it should not to your computer [12:24] fivetwentysix, you are overloading yoru system with disk i/o and network traffic and cpu utilization and that is slowing your refresh rate [12:24] bazhang: I turned off mediatomb and tried using a torrent client only [12:24] urabaya [12:24] harajuku [12:24] hwilde: ath0 no such a device , I've blacklisted it [12:24] Amerio, ath1 ? run ifconfig -a see what is the name of the device [12:24] fugugj [12:25] bihy [12:25] hwilde: Thank you, you seem to understand my problem! [12:25] !id | co [12:25] co: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [12:25] hwilde: However it's not my refresh rate, I can alt tab very smoothly while my mouse is stuttering. [12:25] fivetwentysix, can you reproduce the same behavior with other network, disk io, cpu, or is it just bittorrent [12:25] hwilde: i have 4 results [12:25] Is there a way I can set my 4th mouse button as the "back" button? [12:25] Amerio, the one that is your cisco card [12:26] Eds, anything is possible. [12:26] hwilde: Yes, when I use mediatomb to stream to my PS3 it completely locks up my mouse far worse than bittorrent. [12:26] fivetwentysix, ok then you have IRQ issues [12:26] hwilde: Let me google that. [12:27] heh [12:27] fivetwentysix, try adding pci=routeirq or pci=pollirq to your grub boot [12:27] fivetwentysix, it is probably your network card and the usb hub having conflicts [12:27] hwilde: its wlan0 , and after scanning no scan results [12:27] Amerio, ok so it doesn't see any networks [12:27] Amerio, you are sure there is a signal [12:28] hwilde: Yes I find that sometimes my network card has issues as well. [12:28] hwilde: im chatting from a pc that detecting the signal so there is a network [12:29] hwilde: I dunno if my wlan is turned on or not because hot keys are not working [12:29] ok im going to try this now [12:29] Amerio, it should be ath0 or ath1 [12:29] hwilde: i;ve blacklisted the ath0 [12:29] when I call cc is routed to gcc. How may I route it to a different compiler ? [12:29] thanks hwilde [12:29] Amerio, no do not do that [12:29] hi all ... is it possible to install ubuntu directly onto a debian installation? like changing the apt repositories and doing an apt-get dist-upgrade? [12:29] toplok, echo $CC [12:29] hwilde: well I followed a guide and i did that :S [12:29] tim no [12:30] Amerio, no you need ath0 that is your device!!! [12:30] hwilde, echo $CC is empty [12:30] hwilde, hm ... thanks ... [12:30] hwilde: so I remove it from the blacklist & enable it ? [12:30] toplok, usually the compiler is an environment variable somewhere like CC or GCC [12:30] could it be a symlink ? [12:31] Amerio, I have no idea how you got rid of ath0 but get it back then run those commands I told you in order; ifconfig ath0 down; ifconfig ath0 up; iwlist ath0 scan [12:31] toplok, echo $GCC [12:31] ok let me try .. brb [12:31] hwilde, empty :( [12:31] try this in ubuntu: cc [12:32] hwilde: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=f11a0cc4-1dac-47c9-812b-153ce86fc9ff ro quiet splash pci=routeirq [12:32] toplok, type in which cc [12:32] hwilde: Is that right? [12:32] fivetwentysix, yeah or pci=pollirq [12:32] toplok: sudo update-alternatives --config cc [12:33] toplok, on a default system it should be /usr/bin/cc [12:33] hello? anyone listening? ^^^^ [12:33] ok [12:33] !hello | thoreauputic [12:33] thoreauputic: Hi!

[12:36] deflate1, what exactly do you want to do [12:36] deflate1, they have to be able to access programs outside of their home directory or they would not be able to (A) login (B) run any programs [12:36] hwilde: how can I know the name of the device?

I am a newbie, thx :) [12:38] hey hwilde I saw a bunch of IRQ settings in my bios configuration, and it says that if my operating system is plug and play, it can automatically configure my IRQ routes. [12:38] hwilde: removed it from blacklist , and enabled it then rebooted , typing inconfig ath0 down I get an error : no such device [12:38] hwilde, do you mean alias for a symlink ?

[12:58] [GuS], use the damn packages or go use gentoo if you want compile everything for no reason at all. [12:58] hultiz, you too [12:58] 2 minutes too many [12:58] <[GuS]> zcat[1]: ? [12:58] <[GuS]> what tha hell is that reply?

[13:02] gus: forget about that guy [13:02] <[GuS]> lol [13:02] yeah, i've had that problem in the past, but it doesn't hurt to install a package and just see if you can compile [13:02] <[GuS]> anyway, i will install that devel... and see... [13:02] Well, I guess I can't do anything since I don't have root anymore and I can't even login... [13:03] is there any files you cannot copy in home ? [13:03] why do my flash movies on youtube look so bad in ubuntu? Sometimes the player didn't start [13:03] hultiz, there's a way to boot into a live CD and then sudo into your existing install.

[13:04] hultiz, you can still login at the terminal right? maybe you could login and reinstall pam from the repos [13:04] Hi guys, does anyone feel like helping me with a raid 1 install, think i need to use fakeraid since it's only an onboard controller... [13:05] alyssum: no, I can't. I get access denied opn all accounts. All I have is this login which isn't root and su doesn't work [13:05] <[GuS]> " yeah, i've had that problem in the past, but it doesn't hurt to install a package and just see if you can compile"... Yeah but does not hurt if i ask anyway ;). besides.. i always search in google first before ask...

[13:06] hi all, how can I find the device-number of a hard drive? [13:07] hey gus, what do you suggest? [13:08] checkers: gnome partition editor has it, if it's installed (under System->Administration) [13:08] I thought you had to kind of have a soft array with controllers like that since it's not a true hardware raid [13:08] alyssum: no, im going it remotely (this is on my server) via terminal [13:08] Javid: it says that command cant be found [13:08] darn. [13:08] alyssum, can I do it in console? [13:08] my USB wlan card isn'r working on ubuntu 7.10. it is an RTL8187. it used to work before ysterday and then it just stopped. i type iwconfig wlan0 and it shows that it is connected to the right essid and shows the signal level as 48/64 and link quality, but if i try and ping google.com it says unknown host, but when i boot into windows the card works fine and i can access the internet [13:09] alyssum, Javid : I don't have any screen for the server atm, but if terminal logging in at the server still works im logged in as root there now. Is there any command I can run? I tried uninstalling pam but it didnt seem to work [13:10] checkers: well, i don't know an easy way, but you can look at your /boot/grub/menu.lst file and figure them out [13:10] hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [13:10] hultiz - are you wanting to login as root at the gnome login screen?

[13:12] TheEagle: well, i know that is possible, but i have another problem, which i posted a bit higher up [13:12] does anyone managed to connect Olypmus digital camera into ubuntu? [13:12] hultiz: right, i'm not sure what package is responsible for pam....maybe libpam0g? have you tried removing what you installed and then doing sudo reinstall libpam0g [13:13] moidekar, thanks, but it doesn't seem to have the number I want. I believe it's a number like 8_0 or similar [13:13] hultiz: sorry sudo aptitude reinstall libpam0g === nicolai_ is now known as Kopfgeldjaeger [13:13] how higher up, i only joined a few minutes ago [13:13] Can anyone tell me how to set my 4th mouse button to be the "back" button in firefox and nautalis? Iv tried to find answers on the forums but no luck [13:13] check on your screen to see if i joined after you posted it [13:13] alyssum: will try that [13:13] oh, you mean that device no./// hold on a mo [13:13] Hey. How can I get the Volume Label and Publisher info from a CD? [13:13] Hi I was wondering if any1 of you know how to get a creative live usb 24 bit 5.1 card working. I only get stereo sound on 2 speakers [13:13] TheEagle: i installed PAM from a tarball, and after that i couldnt use su or login (with ssh at least) [13:14] ok [13:14] i can't help you there [13:14] checkers: right - if you cd /dev and then ls -l the device for your HDD, it shows you major and minor dev no. that what you wanted? [13:14] my USB wlan card isn't working on ubuntu 7.10. it is an RTL8187. it used to work before ysterday and then it just stopped. i type iwconfig wlan0 and it shows that it is connected to the right essid and shows the signal level as 48/64 and link quality, but if i try and ping google.com it says unknown host, but when i boot into windows the card works fine and i can access the internet [13:15] moidekar, ah, bingo! thanks :) [13:15] so....hultiz... got any idea how to help me with my problem? :) i'm want to mount a remote drive using PAM, but i need network first. and i don't know how to force the network-manager with roaming wifi to connect first before trying to mount... [13:15] checkers: welcome, glad you found what you wanted. cheers! [13:17] TheEagle: maybe dns down? [13:17] TheEagle: can you browse? Do other DNS lookups work? [13:17] localhost doesn't even work [13:17] bicz: oops, sorry, go ahead pls [13:17] and no, i can't browse [13:17] alyssum: i just attached a screen to the server, and it says login incorrect no matter what (correct) usernames i write, including root [13:18] /help [13:19] TheEagle: can you ping an outside host on the Net (e.g. 61.1.72.2 which is an ISP server IP in India) [13:19] hultiz: oh.... well, i wonder if you can try chroot? i've done it once but don't remember exactly how it all works [13:19] i'm not sure, i'm on windows at the moment using the same network card and it's working fine [13:20] alyssum: nope, it says login incorrect to everything i write... reinstall here i come? i have nothing important there anyway [13:20] it's pinging fine on windows [13:21] hultiz: yeah that might be easier. [13:21] moin [13:21] TheEagle: I shoulda guessed that, right? :-) Was hoping you'd tried. OK, once you get back into Ub, try pinging an external IP. If you can't, then you have some networking problem. If you can, but DNS lookups fail, look at your /etc/resolv.conf - based on your network, you may need to specify a DNS server if you don't get one over DHCP from your WIFi AP [13:21] alyssum: seems like it, thanks anyway =) [13:22] moidekar: i have already specified my dns server: 62.6.40.178 [13:22] when i issue wvdial i says [13:22] carrier found OK [13:22] i need support with kubuntu and fritzcard, dial up modem. is everything i need on the cd? [13:23] TheEagle: opendns.org can try [13:23] moidekar: turns out that the pinging of 62.6.40.178 is failing on my computer with all packets sent lost [13:23] thoreauputic, I found out what I needed to get my e-mail, and when I got to windows partition i didn't need to export from outlook. I just needed to remember the client address [13:23] TheEagle: Ah, I see... [13:23] carrier found..dont know what to do..trying ppp0..and tells pppdaemon died [13:23] TheEagle: We have ISPs like that where I live, too :) [13:24] how can i get over.. [13:24] * Buiss is new at freenode === nevon__ is now known as drainman [13:24] moidekar: what do you mean? [13:25] TheEagle: You probably need to find another DNS server - or install bind on your own system. Sadly, I don't know of any easy way to do that with UB - Mandriva had this nice "caching-nameserver" met package that installed bind and some canned configs [13:25] but why should pinging my dns server fail? [13:26] TheEagle: What I meant was - some of our ISPs have DNS servers running Windows (sighhhh) and those go down every now and then... which means our browsing or other Net stuff comes to a halt and we don't know why till we go investigate :-( [13:26] I'll soon find out [13:26] TheEagle: Since your DNS server isn't responding to pings, it's probably down...?? [13:26] * enyc prefers to run pdns-recursor rather than bind ;-) [13:26] moidekar: i can browse websites NOW on windows but NOT NOW on ubuntu [13:27] can i create a dialup connection in Gusty gibbon? [13:27] but i can't ping my isp's dns server on windows? [13:27] TheEagle: So what DNS server is being used in Windows? [13:27] 62.6.40.178 [13:27] which is the same as the one i specified in ubuntu network-manager [13:27] hi === xt|away is now known as xt828 [13:27] easy to export hosts file. more secure design. includes local-ip-zones reverse-dns ... etc. but whatever ;-) [13:28] enyc: care to share some info on pdns-recursor? [13:28] enyc: [13:28] moidekar: its just a package ... provides recursive DNS starting from root nameservers [13:28] enyc: I see, thanks [13:28] moidekar: can be told to serve certain zones from bind type files or forward certain zones to specified ip of auth dns server [13:28] enyc: What I meant was that you still need to do quite a bit of config; not "out of the box" which you kinda get to expect with Ubuntu? ;-) [13:29] moidekar: depends on your config what you want.... and thats just down to network design [13:29] moidekar: i am using the dns server 62.6.40.178 on windows which is the same i'm using in ubuntu [13:29] enyc: hmm... thanks, will grok pdns-rec on the Net. [13:29] how do I know which package download? (my ubuntu is 7.10,see:http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=amsn&searchon=names&version=all&release=all&exact=1) [13:29] moidekar: i wonder if its going to take notice of the l.root-servers.net. (199.7.83.42) new IP address tho [13:30] update root servers [13:30] enyc: yikes! :-P I hope the config allows one to specify - was VampX hinting at that? [13:31] can i ping ports? [13:31] So I am gonna erase SUSE and install Debian or Ubuntu on my Server, Yast sucks!!! [13:32] TheEagle: Is that by any chance your Wifi AP (and is that by any chance also your broadband modem)? [13:32] yes yast is a bit retarded [13:32] TheEagle: Is that (IP that you mentioned_ by any chance your Wifi AP (and is that by any chance also your broadband modem)? [13:32] is in [13:32] does Debian still install KDE asnd [13:32] and Gnome? [13:33] TheEagle: to find out if a port is open, do telnet ip port [13:33] Gnome by default [13:33] Karyom: i dont know only ever done server installs these days [13:33] you mean without X-Server? [13:33] Karyom: debian Etch4.0r2 nice stable though... just not totally uptodate but thats debian [13:33] moidekar: to access my router i type 192.168.0.1 and on the status page it shows the dns server as 62.6.40.178 and 194 [13:33] sorry, didn't finish [13:33] Karyom: yes Ive done very minimal installs then just added packages as i wanted [13:33] TheEagle: thats normal. its picked up external nameservers ran by isp [13:34] so I only need the first CD and the rest by netinstall?! [13:34] TheEagle: but router often then points intenal computers at DNS server 192.168.0.1 nad the router runs a 'dns proxy' [13:34] Karyom: ye [13:34] Karyom: just get the 1 cd [13:34] enyc, what the hell does that mean hehe [13:34] TheEagle: Yes, but what DNS server IP is Windows using (not your router)? [13:34] can I use KTorrent with Gnome? [13:34] 192.168.0.1 [13:35] Karyom: whichever ubuntu version you installed.. you can install the same packages... [13:35] Karyom: its all one package repository basically [13:35] TheEagle: Memory isn't exact, but either TCP/IP properties for your Wifi LAN connection should show you, or "ipconfig /all" in a cmd prompt [13:35] TheEagle: Oh, OK - my typing or this connection is too slow! :-) [13:35] Karyom: its just the server disk gives you LAMP server setup option... the kubuntu disk installs kubuntu-base.... etc [13:35] Does anyone here know how I can "zoom in" (using the super key + mouse wheel) into movies that are being played? When I try to zoom in, the movie stays the exact same whereas the mouse cursor and menus shrink and resize [13:36] TheEagle: I've found a common problem with Huawei and DLink b/band routers (with or w/out WiFi) that the onboard DNS implementation [13:36] TheEagle: I've found a common problem with Huawei and DLink b/band routers (with or w/out WiFi) that the onboard DNS implementation is broken [13:36] I like to get more in the Server stuff. [13:36] its a NETGEAR router [13:36] thanks :) [13:36] so Ubuntu or Debian...hard decision... [13:37] TheEagle: Possibly that applies to your router too - but it doesn't explain why it would work under Ubu for some time and then stop... :-( ?? [13:37] karyom, ubuntu is based on debian [13:37] ubuntu of course [13:37] actually, i think i forgot to mention something [13:37] I know...but I need my second PC more as a server [13:38] I had Debian before, than I switched to SUSE [13:38] TheEagle: When you earlier said you had specified DNS IP in Ubu, did you mean in /etc/resolv.conf or as you said for Windows - in the router's info page? [13:38] Does the Debian install already include Compiz? [13:38] moidekar: neither, i opened network manager and then typed it into the text box asking for DNS [13:39] TheEagle: Hmm... :-) me a bit old-school, though nowhere near a hacker, I prefer to edit the file myself :) Still, that's where NetworkMgr should put it, I guess... [13:39] Ubuntu on both machines would be quite boring... [13:40] hardly [13:40] the other day, i was helping this guy install his PCI WiFi card on ubuntu, i installed madwifi so i could see how it worked and help him accordingly and then i installed ndiswrapper and a driver. when i restarted ubuntu a message came up saying restrictive drivers in use for networking or something, i removed the ndiswrapper driver but don't know how to uninstall madwifi - but this shouldn't be interfering with my card as i [13:40] didn't specifiy a card for it to use [13:40] but if you mean boring by not much to attend to, then maybe [13:41] TheEagle: So I think you have some options: check that you have a good (pingable, working) DNS server in your /etc/resolv.conf OR install your own nameserver (bind) locally on your system.. a bit painful but improves browsing speed quite a bit with faster lookups [13:42] TheEagle: FYI - you can use the nslookup cmd-line util (if installed in Ubu) to directly select a DNS server (using the "server" command at the prompt) and run a few lookups on it. [13:42] ok, thanks [13:42] what was that india isp dns ip again? [13:43] no, its just all the same, [13:43] How can I stop Totem from opening a DVD when I put it in the drive, and cause VLC Media Player to do that instead? [13:43] TheEagle: that helps you determine if the IP you're using responsd to DNS queries... and the indian server ip is 61.1.72.2 - I;m getting 300-500 ms times on ping replies right now :) [13:43] I like to take a look on Debian again [13:43] so, how do i change server? [13:43] via nslookup [13:44] nslookup or something? [13:44] under synaptic heading "Latest Version" does this tell us what release the product is? [13:44] Its interesstin to compare them...for example SUSE and Ubuntu [13:44] TheEagle: run nslookup [13:44] yes [13:44] TheEagle: you get a > prompt from the util [13:45] yes [13:45] i love linux [13:45] TheEagle: type "server " [13:45] then type server? [13:45] ok [13:45] thanks [13:45] with Ubuntu you have to do much more over Shell [13:45] i'll be back for more help if i need it! [13:45] TheEagle: then type a domain name to lookup e.g. gmail.com [13:45] ok, i normally do google [13:45] or just ping the dns server [13:46] TheEagle: great, hope you solve your prob... I;m off too, now - dinner! :-) cheers! [13:48] I need to shutdown my xwindows to install something but everytime I kill the process xwindows restarts - how can I stop that till I reboot? [13:50] hi [13:51] hi [13:51] !hi | Adnarim hajihong [13:51] Adnarim hajihong: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [13:51] does someone here now how I can execute a command in the debian/rules file before the ./configure line? [13:52] I tried it with command && ./configure but this didn't work [13:52] zenrium sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [13:53] hi, any one from India here and using sify broadband ? I need some help [13:56] pkundu_: oh! There is a #ubuntu-in , ask in there! [13:57] thank you thingy [13:57] when i do ctrl-alt-f1 to get into pure console...is there any way i can edit how the text is shown? (size, font, etc) [13:57] Moult no [13:57] or maybe background colour/text colour? [13:58] Moult the Alt-F1 terminal is associated with the X server. If you shut down X then Alt-F1 will become a normal login shell, but so long as X is running Alt-F1 will be associated with it. You can use Alt-F2 through F6 for logins, and in those you can change the colors using ANSI codes to set the prompt. [13:59] does anyone knows a way to connect olympus digital camera on ubuntu system [13:59] Moult did that all come through? It mostly got lost in my screen [13:59] How do I mount an encrypted partition? [13:59] Moult: you are speaking about Alt-F7 [13:59] I was setup from the alt install cd. [13:59] It* [13:59] Vorbote: no, ctrl alt f1 [14:00] how do i turn on the 3D desktop in 7.10 [14:00] th0r: i think it all went through. i don't know much about linux though, so what do you mean by x? [14:00] panosru open a terminal and type 'tail -f /var/log/messages', then watch as you plug in the camera. If it identifies as something like sdb, sdc, etc then you can mount it like a hard drive. [14:00] Moult X is the system that gives you windows and desktop...it is the graphic part of linux. [14:01] test [14:01] Moult assuming you are using a normal ubuntu installation X is lying underneath either gnome or kde...which ever you chose to install [14:01] Chris-D workign [14:01] Chris-D and working too [14:01] lol [14:01] th0r, Moult has left [14:01] lol [14:01] cabrioleur, finally managed to workaround trackpoint problem, i simply plugged external mouse into USB instead of PS2 [14:02] sorry i disconnected [14:02] testing from Linux [14:02] th0r, Moult is back [14:02] what happened? [14:02] surabaya [14:02] must be the late party === iamail is now known as ismail [14:02] th0r i plug in my digital camera after i run 'tail -f /var/log/messages' but nothing show up... [14:02] Moult X is the system that gives you windows and desktop...it is the graphic part of linux. [14:02] i tried randomly pressing ctrl-alt-f1234567689 whatever and i got the ubuntu login screen then suddenly restarted all my programs [14:02] How come my "Tab" for name completing isn't working? [14:02] surabaya [14:02] unless I need to configure it [14:03] cabrioleur, looks that ps2 driver make trackpoint work [14:03] panosru then it won't be easy to get the camera running. You will need to find a driver for it and then mount it (assuming it can be mounted) [14:04] * Chris-D not sure why typing the first couple letters of someone's name, then Tab, doesn't complete their name. [14:04] Moult you only have Alt-F1 through Alt-F6. Alt-F7 will return you to the graphic desktop associated with Alt-F1 [14:04] th0r, ok, thanks i will keep searching for driver but i think i will reboot on windows just to save some photos from camera and then reboot back 2 ubuntu.. [14:04] th0r: well i'm not exactly i got to the login screen [14:04] panosru there is another option [14:04] oh [14:05] panosru is there a card in the camera? [14:05] I need to type in more than 2 letters...let me see how many [14:05] looks like maybe 4 [14:05] yes but my card reader does not work on ubuntu too :( [14:05] alcolol [14:05] panosru: [14:05] lol [14:05] cool [14:05] Chris-D I think you have to type enough letters that the software knows which name you want...if only one starts with the first two letters than two will be all you need. [14:06] th0r: thank you! === Alcolol` is now known as Alcolol [14:06] th0r, yes but my card reader does not work on ubuntu too [14:06] need some help here, i just installed ubuntu, and it worked fine but it didnt use my geforce card correctly, i couldent set a resonable resolution and it got like 1 frame each 10 secound when moving windows etc. i tried to install nvidia-glx from the synaptic and used command sudo-nvidia-glx-config enable . as it said, but now my X wont start, and i got no clue what to do. im on the live cd now [14:06] gonna be streaming live in a few [14:06] hmm this is weird [14:06] panosru try the same trick with the card reader. Open the terminal and watch the log file. Plug in the reader and maybe you won't see anything, but plug a card into the reader...then maybe you will see it [14:06] now if i do ctrlaltf1 i get into console, but i can only go back to GUI if i do ctrlaltf8 [14:06] brb [14:07] Moult is the log showing in Alt-F2? [14:07] th0r: log? if you mean console, yes [14:08] Lassesandberg42: are you totally new to linux or have you used it before now? (I'm not being sarcastic here, trying to figure out the best way to go with you) [14:08] Moult it is possible to run several graphics cards on linux...on one computer. Then Alt-F1 and F7 are associated, F2 and F8, F3 and F9 and so on. But that is more complex than I have ever gotten with linux [14:08] hi [14:08] th0r, well my card reader does not support xD cards! LOL :P [14:08] krazytekn0 , i used it a bit a year ago or so. but cant really remember anything, so basically im new [14:09] !find fritz [14:09] Found: avm-fritz-firmware, avm-fritz-firmware-2.6.17-6, avm-fritz-firmware-2.6.22-14, avm-fritz-kernel-source [14:09] panosru ok...then I guess it is back to that other system [14:09] th0r: ohwell i'm just running from live cd to learn more about linux so i guess it won't affecty anythign [14:09] can some one help me to set up fritz card pci with ubunutu? [14:09] I'm using Xchat in Ubuntu, but can't find where to add a different server (like uStream.tv). [14:09] How would I restore grub for an encrypted setup (installed with alt cd)? [14:09] Lassesandberg42, sudo apt-get dpkg reconfigure xserver.xorg [14:09] Moult right...while on the live CD nothing on your hard drive will be changed [14:09] th0r yeap unfortunately i have to spend about 15 minutes on that "other system" :P [14:10] crush_groove he needs to chroot first [14:10] good pickup krazytekn0 ty [14:10] !find fcpci [14:10] Package/file fcpci does not exist in gutsy [14:10] Chris-D under Edit-Preferences-Network [14:10] watches [14:11] Lassessandberg42 you need to do some stuff first before you do that command crush_groove gave you (god I hate this keyboard brb) [14:11] stand by (btw...thanks for answering) [14:11] hi [14:11] oh..duhh... I'm such a dumb.... sometimes [14:11] lol [14:11] hmm >P [14:11] talon316 I have some notes about restoring grub, but don't know if they will work on an encrypted system. Will pastebin them for you. [14:11] I tried a howto on the forums for standard installs, but that didn't work... [14:12] so like i only got console in my installation.. can you give me a list of what commands to run when i reboot to it_ [14:12] talon316 well...that is where my notes came from...so they won't help either I guess. [14:12] how to copy a directory ? [14:13] cp for files and what for directories? [14:13] I setup an encrypted root and lvm with the alt install, and made a separate boot partition. [14:13] Amerio cp -R will copy the directory and all files and directories in it [14:13] Then install windows xp, which screwed over my MBR as expected. [14:13] Amerio or you should be able to drag and drop in a filemanager in kde or gnome [14:14] th0r : thanx I needed it for sudo .. thanx [14:14] OK, sorry about that Lassandberg42 [14:14] talon316 you have to install windows first. Now you can only boot into windows, right? [14:14] Yeah [14:14] Ubuntu has been installed for months, just installed windows yesterday. [14:15] Downgraded- vista to xp. [14:15] talon316 then the notes I have should work...let me put them in a pastebin and you can try them. [14:16] talon316 http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50388/ [14:16] talon316 worth a try [14:16] thx [14:16] will check [14:16] Lassandberg42: Here's what you do: you first need to find out what device your old root is [14:17] krazytekno: how do i do that? [14:18] ok, this may work, but now I need to know how to mount and encrypted partition. [14:18] don't know what the alt cd used. === j_medic78_ is now known as j_medic78 [14:19] just wondering, is there a way to connect to wireless internet from the terminal mode? [14:19] !wireless [14:19] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [14:19] talon316: the alternate cd uses LUKS encryption [14:19] LUKS? ok, thx [14:19] j_medic78 you will need iwconfig and ifconfig [14:19] hey [14:20] i already have a keyring, etc... for the network I use, but my xserver is fried, and I need to reinstall it, my only internet access is wireless right now [14:21] Lassandberg42: I'm sorry, my son is being kind of demanding of my attention right now. [14:21] unless I can use my install cd as a repository from the terminal [14:23] hi [14:24] i made a python program, and i want to run it with just one click, but it only opens in text [14:24] Lassandberg42: How many hard disks do you have? are they IDE or SCSI? (do you remember anything about hda or sda from installing) [14:24] fun [14:25] i have 2 harddisks... cant remember exactly what it said about hda and that stuff from installation [14:26] hi guys, I've a pretty stupid problem with partition manager [14:26] hi [14:27] any one can please help with wifi?

[14:37] !ask [14:37] happy new year [14:37] Don't ask to ask a question, ask the question --On One Line -- that you need answered, and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [14:37] ok look at the devices menu and tell me what you see [14:38] i've upgrade to Gutsy, and since i'm always deconnected [14:38] i mean after 15 minutes [14:39] it's just like a bug [14:39] one disk is /dev/hdc.. with /dev/hdc1 , ext3. thats the one i installed ubuntu on [14:39] do i need to do anything special to get wine working on 7.10 64bit? [14:40] lassesandberg42 ok good. you can close gparted now [14:40] all my usb devices crush [14:41] Lassesandberg42: type in terminal "mkdir /mnt/oldroot" [14:41] done [14:41] I've been using amsn, however, I only seem to be getting something silly like 2K/s on msn transfers [14:41] any ideas? [14:41] "mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt/newroot" [14:42] "*/mnt/oldroot" [14:42] sorry [14:42] not newroot but oldroot [14:42] mounted in oldroot now >p === chaky_ is now known as chaky [14:43] ok what's your username in your ubuntu install?

Does anybody know a way to do this that doesn't require burning a cd? [14:47] Lassesandberg42 chroot basically makes your commands affect the place you chroot to (it stands for change root) [14:47] okay [14:47] hi hi everyone, i can't get my cdrom or dvdrom to recognize cds or dvds, i'm new to ubuntu, can someone help point me in the right direction [14:47] lucas: bootp [14:47] lucas2, you can try lubi [14:48] ok, so here we go, "sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx" [14:48] done [14:48] can someone tell me why ubuntu keep telling me that the gateway is in correct when i try to configure it for staticly, but without a gateway .... [14:49] waldo: how are you trying to define it? [14:49] ok now I can't remember was that the only package you installed before you couldn't start X? [14:49] Lassesandberg42 I'm using a terminal irc client so I can't scroll back [14:49] "the default gateway ip address is invalid" is what the gui keeps saying, going trough /etc/network/interaces ... i didn't help much either [14:49] lucas2: debootstrap [14:50] !install lucas2 [14:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about install lucas2 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:50] !install | lucas2 [14:50] lucas2: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[14:50] I've got an Acer Extensa 4220 in front of me, the wireless doesn't work by default so I was looking for a Windows driver for NDIS but couldn't find anything on the list, not sure if I'm looking with the wrong things, or if it just won't work. [14:50] erm, "confix"? [14:51] yes. config. my bad [14:51] sorry >P [14:51] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50390/ [14:51] Nirevus: what wlan chip is it? [14:51] Lassesandberg42 try "sudo nvidia-glx-config disable" if it doesn't work no problem just to make sure [14:51] where can i see a list of packages in the ubuntu repositories? [14:51] hi, please, i'm reading the releases notes to Ubuntu 7.10 and I want to know if I may use the command "sudo aptitude dist-upgrade" ???? [14:51] spee packages.ubuntu.com [14:51] mey I use this command? [14:51] waldo: which stanza is it it doesn't like? [14:52] wols: 168c:001c [14:52] Nirevus: names are very helpful [14:52] wols: eth0 [14:52] crixtiano, you are using the latest supported distro [14:52] krazyekn0, should i run that command now, or when i reboot to the installation_ [14:52] waldo: is ppp0 up? [14:52] right now Lassesandberg42 [14:52] crixtiano, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades [14:52] Hi guys and gals. Quick question which I think you will find easy.... could you tell me the location of the standard icon sets. I recall they were in directories of different sizes (i.e. 48) etc. Thanks... [14:53] wols: Atheros AR5006EG [14:53] crush_groove, I'm using 7.04 - Feisty distro [14:53] it says the command isent found.. should i try going back to installation to check now_ [14:53] does someone knows how to run a .sh script under ubuntu ?? [14:53] !madwifi | Nirevus [14:53] Nirevus: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [14:53] hi ! [14:53] crush groove, you like Run D.M.C.? [14:53] /usr/share/Icons [14:53] Nirevus: you want the madwifi driver [14:53] wols I know :) [14:53] wols: yes it is .. i want to make a router out of this pc .. but for that i need to make one IF static .. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50391/ [14:53] Nirevus: then why do you talk about ndiswrapper? [14:53] Lunar_Lamp, I read this link, but there is nothing about "aptitude dist-upgrade" [14:53] Lassesandberg42 ok you're gonna restart and remove the livecd soon but let me tell you how to install your vid card driver right! [14:53] Karyom - thanks very much. Over and out! [14:53] wols: Oooh, madwifi, I didn't see sorry :P === u^A_ is now known as allbert [14:53] waldo: I#ve seen the interfaces file and it looks alright except the loopback weirdness [14:54] okay, that would be great [14:54] julienb, you can "chmod +x file.sh" to make it executable, and then type ./file.sh in the directory with the file. OR you can type "bash file.sh" to execute it if it is a proper bash script. [14:54] wols: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50391/ .... eth0 didn't get the ip tough :S [14:54] waldo: ifup ethß [14:54] Lassesandberg42 when you (hopefully) get up and and running again go to your menu, click on "system" then go to 'administration' then 'restricted drivers manager' [14:54] crixtiano, dist-upgrade does not upgrade between versions (e.g. 7.04-->7.10) - it just upgrades everything it can to the latest for the currently installed release. [14:55] i'm trying to get my cdr and dvdr to either mount or recignize cds, anyone know a good faq or tutorial on setting these up? [14:55] javanon: does your dmesg output recognize the drives? [14:55] are you sure restricted drivers manager is there? its not there in the menu now [14:56] wols: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50392/ .. last few lines is what it says [14:56] Lunar_Lamp, excuse me, but I think u r wrong [14:56] then it should be pretty easy fom there. Lassesandberg42 it won't be on the livecd [14:56] wols: what command can i use to check dmesg output? [14:56] wols: it has got no gateway ... but i'd think that wasn't an obligation [14:57] Is it normal for a temperature applet to display ACPI as 166F if the CPU is under 100% usage? [14:57] if it's not there come back here once you're started up and we'll get it worked out [14:57] i'm a new ubuntu\linux user sry ^^ [14:57] javanon: type: 'dmesg' [14:57] crixtiano, if you want to upgrade from feisty to gutsy: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/upgrade-ubuntu-from-feisty-to-gutsy/ [14:57] lol kk [14:57] waldo: "address". 2 d's [14:57] okay. so i will restart and try that now_ [14:57] wols: Hmmmm that might be it :D [14:57] waldo: and for the rst, use ipmasq and dnsmasq [14:58] or did you have anymore instructions? [14:58] pichu0102_ that's a better question for a hardware crowd, or even a gaming crowd. [14:58] Lunar_Lamp, I need do upgrade using command line [14:58] that i do know .. but didn't get the IF up :D [14:58] wols: TNX [14:58] Lunar_Lamp, I need do upgrade using command line (shell) [14:58] ah, sorry [14:58] Lassesandberg42: no go ahead and do it. [14:58] thanks wols, waldo, seshomaru. [14:58] crixtiano: while it's not totally supported, edit your sourecs.list and to a aptitude dis-upgrade [14:58] pichu0102_, ive noticed that a lot of times those #'s can be totally wrong. depending on the bios/chipsets. [14:59] crixtiano, ok, then you can edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and change all references to feisty to gutsy, then do an apt update, and an apt dist-upgrade. [14:59] Hmm, well, I can't touch the bottom of the computer without it feeling rather painful, so maybe it's onto something. [14:59] crixtiano, a simple sed statement to do the work for you, I think, would be "sudo sed -i s/feisty/gutsy/g /etc/apt/sources.list" but you might want to test that first on a copy of the file to make sure it works [15:00] happy new year :D [15:00] pichu0102_ don't worry about it, just don't want you getting mad if no one answers you. It really depends on your hardware though. some hardware can get really hot without problems, other hardware will melt. [15:00] long time to no see [15:00] Lunar_Lamp, I was asking this man. But the official upgrade release notes don't tell us nothing about "aptitude" [15:00] happy new year!! [15:00] happy new year [15:00] Hey. What is the ati-settings manager (for fglrx driver) called in ubuntu? [15:00] happy new year,too. [15:01] wols: yeah it recognizes the drives, hdc: ATAPI 40X CD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, UDMA(33) and hdd: ATAPI 40X DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache, UDMA(33) [15:01] thank you zhancang [15:01] Karyom hi [15:01] crixtiano, aptitude is a near identical tool to apt-get [15:01] javanon: so put in a cd and try to mount it manually [15:01] what command should i be using to mount [15:01] Lunar_lamp, the same tutorial dont tell us nothing about "apt" too [15:01] cassiopea, you mean aticontrol ? [15:01] i guess thats a large part of my problem [15:02] what's latest distro name, so I can update my sources.list ? [15:02] Key people on the line? [15:02] aticonfig I mean [15:02] crixtiano, sorry, "apt" was not the correct command. You want to use "apt-get" or "aptitude". I assumed you would know that and alter my statement accordingly as per your preference. [15:02] Anderson, you tryign to grade to hardy when you dont even know its name? Its very much in testing at this time [15:02] crixtiano: you want to use aptitude [15:02] Dr_willis, what's the latest stable? [15:03] I'm still on edgy [15:03] Anderson, Gutsy is the latest stable. [15:03] !upgrade | Anderson [15:03] Anderson: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [15:03] Dr_willis, Thanks [15:03] Mele ... I mean HAPPY NEW YEAR. yeah [15:03] Adnarim: Add/Remove applications say there is no such package available [15:03] wols: yes I want to use aptitude. I aways use aptitude, but the releases notes dont tell us nothing about aptitude. Why ? [15:04] cassiopea, have you installed fglrx by yourself? it comes shipped with fglrx-control [15:04] crixtiano: cause ubuntu users are supposed to use the shiny ubuntu tools cause with lower level tools like aptitude the support would be way too cumbersome. ubuntu is designed as a "point and click next" distr (like windows) [15:04] I have had aptitude get a little crazy on me at times. [15:04] Anderson, before upgrading -always backup your data [15:05] how do i force unmount of cdrom disk [15:05] seshomaru, not much data, and no where to back up to. [15:05] crixtiano, yeah what wols said, but aptitude is my first choice [15:05] seshomaru, ext hdd is 1000 miles from me [15:05] aptitude always seemed like the tool some people use.. but rarely talk about.. sort of like.. err.. i wont go there. :) [15:05] Adnarim: I don't have a fglrx-control either. I'm not sure what the applications name is, but it's the proprietary ati driver that you can install to manage the gamma and the colour and stuff like that [15:06] wols, I understand and I think its a good ideia, but I need to upgrade ubuntu in a ssh session, so, I need to use aptitude. Is it possible to use aptitude without problems? [15:06] Anderson, if you dont have much you can always send it to yourself by email. or yousendit.com [15:06] Adnarim: sry, it's not the driver, I already have fglrx installed, I just need the app with which I can change the settings of my card [15:06] seshomaru, i guess I'll just hold off until I get it... [15:06] crixtiano: sure [15:06] yes and this app comes with the driver when you install it by hand cassiopea [15:07] ok, wols, I'll edit my sources.list and I'll do "aptitude dist-upgrade" thankyou [15:07] lassesandberg42 did you get started up? or did I steer you wrong? [15:07] How do I extract ace archives? Ark will not do it for me. [15:07] Anderson, for upgrading i would recomend creating a /home partition and the reinstalling ubuntu [15:07] hello [15:07] Adnarim: What's the executable called? [15:07] aticonfig [15:07] Does anyone know a safe way to manually turn off a fan? I was told to type 'echo "3" > /proc/acpi/fan/FAN/state' as root, but after some googling, I found out that may mess up the thermal trip points. [15:07] cassiopea: dpkg -l fglrx [15:07] krazytekno. it still didnt work.. it said something about failed to load module ]nvidia].. no drivers aviable.. no screens found [15:08] cassiopea: dpkg -l | grep fglrx rather [15:08] seshomaru, why not upgrade over existing? [15:08] lassesandberg42: sudo modprobe nvidia [15:08] Can I install and use K3B in Gnome? [15:08] Karyom: yes [15:08] ok, we need to chroot again [15:08] Karyom, i do it all the time :) [15:08] wols thanks [15:08] krazytekn0: chroot for a nvidia driver install? why? [15:08] Anderson, things are more likely to break especially if yopu installed 3rd party software [15:08] wols lasses is on the livecd [15:09] Anderson, by creating a /home partition you keep your data and your setting [15:09] Karyom hello [15:09] wols: What exactly do you want to know from that output, it basically just says what version I have installed [15:09] seshomaru, I have a home partition I think... hold on... it's been a while since I installed [15:09] cassiopea: I want ALL of it [15:10] wols: ii xorg-driver-fglrx 7.1.0-8.37.6+2.6.22.4-14.10 Video driver for ATI graphics accelerators [15:10] seshomaru, I do have a home partition, I musta been thinkin [15:10] lassesandber42 "mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt/oldroot" [15:10] Anderson: I was told that you should make separate /, /home, /boot, and /var patitions [15:10] lassesandber42 "mkdir /mnt/oldroot" FIRST [15:10] penguinguy1234, thats a little extreme i would say... [15:11] Does anyone know a safe way to manually turn off a fan? I was told to type 'echo "3" > /proc/acpi/fan/FAN/state' as root, but after some googling, I found out that may mess up the thermal trip points. [15:11] aye, did that [15:11] penguinguy1234, I have a / and /home swap and something else... [15:11] cassiopea: xorg-driver-fglrx comes with aticonfig [15:11] You dont see /boot used by itself much these days. - there cases where its a good idea. [15:11] lassesandber42 did you already chroot? [15:11] !compiling [15:11] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [15:11] Karyom hello [15:11] penguinguy: you try unplugging it? [15:11] lassesandber42 "chroot /mnt/oldroot" [15:12] !compiling_modules [15:12] user__ hello too [15:12] wols: aticonfig reconfigures X, I don't need to reconfigure X, I just need to set the gamma [15:12] Anderson: what are you trying to do? [15:12] done [15:12] is there anyway to fix a corrupted luks partition? [15:12] wols, fix my Panasonic Toughbook CF-18 touchpad and touchscreen [15:12] cassiopea, you change the graka settings in the xorg.conf [15:12] Does anyone know a safe way to manually turn off a fan? I was told to type 'echo "3" > /proc/acpi/fan/FAN/state' as root, but after some googling, I found out that may mess up the thermal trip points. [15:12] and thats aticonfig for [15:12] cassiopea: fglrx-control [15:12] I have two ISP's providing me two diffrent connections, is there any way to use both of them simultaneously on Ubuntu [15:13] utk: tere are but probably not as you want it. [15:13] ?? [15:13] utk: how do you want to connect to the network (ethernet or wireless) [15:13] ethernet [15:13] wols: yes, that's what I need, but it's not installed right now, and I can't find it in Add/Remove Applications. Is there any reason to believe I'll have more luck with apt? [15:14] utk: Do you have two ethernet ports [15:14] wols: or can you tell me what it's name is under Add/Remove Applications? [15:14] cassiopea: it's in restricted http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/x11/fglrx-control [15:14] yeah [15:14] one sec (im googling) [15:15] lasses now try this [15:15] LUKS partition corrupted- any way to fix, or consider data lost?

For instructions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo and to see supported hardware: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScanners - See also !OCR [16:14] amerio: you killed grub by installing vista, ubuntu needs grub to boot. [16:14] awn* [16:14] Amerio, that is very strange indeed. I would be surprised if Vista have modified your BIOS/CMOS settings. anyway, you can try to set the framebuffer resolution (by force it) in the page ubotu said. [16:14] cCan that be something I see in the hard disk manager? [16:15] brobostigon : i'll try the guide jowi gave me [16:15] Do you know what device your hard-disk is on? E.g. /dev/sda or /dev/hda ? [16:15] Try 'sudo fdisk /dev/sda' [16:16] dev/hda [16:16] If that doesn't do anything then 'sudo fdisk /dev/hda' [16:16] when i switch to a vc, i only have a blank screen sans the blinking cursor in the upper left corner. this is the case on all 6. If I hit enter, or any other keys there is no change.My system is encrypting a 55GB partition atm, and system load is pretty high as a result, but I cant imagine a high load causing this. [16:16] Sudo gives you the possibility to execute a command with root-user rights. [16:16] anyone? I cannot start up AWN... how do I fix this? [16:16] fdisk sounds dangerous? there is data on that disk... [16:17] Parsec300, fritz, sudo fdisk -l [16:17] fritz, the -l lists [16:17] How can I check if I am on 32.bit or 64.bit Linux from console, plz? [16:17] basy: uname -a [16:17] As long as you don't write anything through fdisk it's ok. And it seems astro76 knows more about it than i do. [16:17] I'm a Mac user. [16:17] Boo, hiss [16:18] But I also have Ubuntu on my MacBook Pro. [16:18] Yey! [16:18] anyone here tried to compile from svn kvirc 3.2.6? [16:18] i have gutsy on my ibook g3 [16:18] * Oli`` stops turning #ubuntu into a pantomime [16:19] basy: uname -a [16:19] can anyone tell me how to stop KDE from immediately switching to the desktop that had a window opened on it? [16:19] I rarely want to go to a desktop, just becasue an app or window opened. [16:19] Don't worry, installing now. [16:19] I just can't get the 64-bit working right on it. [16:19] Jowi: what is "Boot-Time Diagnostic Screen" ? [16:19] : thank you [16:19] No networking and no advanced graphics [16:20] RickX, try #kubuntu [16:20] How far is fritz? [16:20] Ok, what do I do now? [16:20] ljsmithx: did you switch the repo, as I suggested? [16:20] umm [16:20] I added two more? [16:20] what partition is NTFS? [16:20] Amerio, no idea. where do you see that? [16:20] astro76, thanks. this actually went to the wrong window. [16:20] Jowi: im in the Bios menu right now [16:20] "ljsmithx: my bad! that's not the official repo. nuke that repo and follow this instead (much better for you): http://wiki.awn-project.org/index.php?title=DistributionGuides" [16:21] Yeah [16:21] where can i get some theme packages for ubuntu compiz? [16:21] I added the two from there [16:21] This is what I get: [16:21] Parsec300: what video and network card?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [16:21] have you run an sudo apt-get update since adding the new one, ljsmithx? [16:21] !pastebin | fritz [16:21] nope [16:21] sorry [16:21] WorkingOnWise, MacBookPro 17" (dunno what card) and nVidia 8600GT i believe [16:22] just done it then [16:22] ljsmithx: well do that, then run an sudo apt-get upgrade [16:22] Amerio, I haven't encountered that option in any of the BIOS settings I've seen. [16:22] nope [16:22] error [16:22] wols, just to let u know, its for games, incase that makes a difference [16:22] fritz, i believe you need to type: 'sudo mount -f /media/Windows /dev/hda1' [16:23] Wait [16:23] Amerio, unless it's the screen just before boot that list IRQ and connected devices just before Win/DOS boots [16:23] hmm [16:23] I wont worry about avant [16:23] ljsmithx: what's the error? you should remove the first repo I told you to add too [16:23] thanks anywya [16:23] i am trying to mkfs.xfs a disk and i am receiving device or resource busy [16:23] Amerio, there's usually a help screen in the BIOS settings though that should explain it. [16:23] I did. [16:24] this is the second disk i have tried in two days, al my old disc drives are fine. This is a WD250GB disc. [16:24] Don't worry lol. Its not that important to get it installed [16:24] 'sudo mount -f -t ntfs /media/Windows /dev/hda1' [16:24] Jowi: the guide only shows how to disable the frame buffer [16:24] Jowi: but still have the problem [16:24] Parsec300, drop the -f and swap the device and mountpoint [16:24] ;) [16:24] Ah [16:24] Amerio, no, it also show how to enter a framebuffer resolution in GRUB. [16:24] Did you get that fritz? [16:25] I haven't been able to mount an NTFS partition without the force option though [16:25] I'm trying [16:25] whats some other cool software that I should install? Like Is there such things as compiz addons?? [16:25] Amerio, for example vga=791 [16:25] Parsec300, according to the man -f is "fake" [16:25] * astro76 shrugs shoulders [16:25] my kid uses ubuntu [16:25] he's 2 [16:25] actually 21 months [16:26] ROCK ON [16:26] haha [16:26] oh [16:26] KidDeath: thats great thanks for sharing that pointless bit of information [16:26] AHAH AWEOSME! [16:26] brb [16:26] KidDeath: this is a support channel only. Please take chatter like that to #ubuntu-offtopic [16:26] Is there such a thing as compiz addins type things??? [16:26] ikonia: i haven't gotten to that [16:26] Parsec300: try this for your video, http://www.yaroman.com/2007/08/14/howto-install-nvidia-8600gt/. gotta know what chip is used for the network to be help there. [16:26] ljsmithx, ask in #compiz please [16:27] ok [16:27] ikonia: he wants to know why wireless has yet to be worked out in a fair enough manner that i don't have to searh all over hell and back to find bloody drivers then use ndiswrapper [16:27] KidDeath, "childsplay" is not bad for that age. my 22 months old likes the animal animations (they look like crap to an adult but he seems to enjoy it anyway) [16:27] OK, I did what Parsec300 wrote, I did not quite get the remark from astro [16:27] KidDeath: thats because that card is not nativly supported. Please contact the vendor and ask them to include linux drivers in the kernel rather than complain to ubuntu [16:28] fritz, the command should have been: sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/xxx /media/xxx [16:28] fritz, replace xxx as appropriate ;) [16:28] Parsec300: type lspci in a terminal to find the netword card info we need. [16:29] ikonia: i'm just effen with ya cause your'e so damn serious. [16:29] OK, I did that now. Whats next? [16:29] does anyone know why my disc is saying its in use or busy when i attached it to usb? [16:29] KidDeath: then please don't. This is a serious support channel [16:29] ikonia: no it isn't. it's irc [16:29] KidDeath, you are offtopic [16:29] KidDeath: please stop now. This is a support only channel [16:29] well ban me then [16:30] lol [16:30] won't bother me none [16:30] Oh the humanity! [16:30] I am having trouble setting up a samba share in Ubuntu 7.10 server [16:30] WorkingOnWise, I can't do that lspci. I'm on OSX right now [16:30] But thanks. I'll check out the website [16:30] Funny, I thought it was the dad not the 2yr old online [16:30] Parsec300: can u boot the live cd? [16:31] Jack_Sparrow, interesting list of other channels they were in as well, explains the level of conversation :) [16:31] Yes, but I just find it strrange that the 32 bit version works flawlessly even had Compiz fully running. [16:33] exit [16:33] does anyone know of any good hardware support websites? [16:33] dgjones: Just trying to wake up here... But that does not surprise me. [16:33] for how to check if devices are in use? [16:33] Parsec300: in my experience, 64 bit lags behind 32 just due to the sheer demand of 32 compared to 64. However, unless u are donig serious audio/video work , I didnt see a significand differance, except I have less headaches in 32 bit. [16:33] rich__: What are you trying to get going [16:33] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4051849 [16:33] im trying to mkfs [16:33] rich__, for what type hardware for which type of problem ? [16:34] There appears to have been a problem installing a package from synaptic and now it bugs me about it whenever I try to install something else. Removal does not help as it just says that it did not manage to remove it. What do I do? [16:34] mkfs.xfs on a usb hard disk external [16:34] fritz, did it work? [16:34] I do not know, I still do not see the files [16:35] when i switch to a vc, i only have a blank screen sans the blinking cursor in the upper left corner. this is the case on all 6. If I hit enter, or any other keys there is no change.My system is encrypting a 55GB partition atm, and system load is pretty high as a result, but I cant imagine a high load causing this. [16:35] rich__, "mount" will show if the disk is in use. [16:35] Type 'cd /media/Windows' and then 'ls' [16:35] WorkingOnWise, ive seen that issue befor with some x drivers and the frabebuffer device. I suggest disabling the framebuffer. [16:36] its not in use [16:36] WorkingOnWise: have you changed your grub confiuration to turn on framebuffering (higher resolution for console)? [16:36] i have three other drives that work fine. [16:36] WorkingOnWise, i use the options in menu.lst --> # defoptions=quiet nosplash nofb , then 'sudo update-grub' [16:36] i bought a disc yesterday, someone one here said it was incompatible as it was a seagate, then i bought this one which is WD and it doesnt work etiher. [16:36] i can detect the device, but it says its busy. [16:36] WorkingOnWise, then when you reboot - the fremabuffer should be disbled. [16:37] how do I get a ram file to play (*.rm). I have it on this machine I am working on, but dont have it on another forget what I did [16:37] Do you see anything now? [16:37] WorkingOnWise, seen a guy in #kubutu had an identical issue sicne the last set of updates [16:37] i have a usb seagate, and it works fine no proglems [16:37] Dr_willis: could there be a connection between this and my usplash problem (funky white lines instead of pretty ubuntu spalash screen, which works fine in 64bit, but not is 32)? [16:37] How do I get my wine to update .... I noticed Im using an older version than as on winehq.com ???? [16:37] rich__: Are you setting up a home theatre system? [16:37] WorkingOnWise, i alweays disable the silly splash stuff.. [16:37] rich__, and you are sure it didn't mount as soon as you plugged it in? [16:37] root@host:~# mkfs.xfs /dev/sdc1 [16:37] mkfs.xfs: cannot open /dev/sdc1: Device or resource busy [16:37] root@host:~# [16:37] I am still on 9,46 [16:37] WorkingOnWise, with no framebuffer.. you wont get any splash either. I think. ;) [16:38] NOTICE THERE WILL BE A BIT OF HOUSEKEEPING -- this will involve some scrolling for a few seconds please wait [16:38] its not mounted. [16:38] astro76, is it true that when you mount something in /media it should show up on the desktop? [16:38] rich__, you verified this with mount command? [16:38] yes [16:38] Ximal: If you need the newest version you need to install it manually. It will not be in the repos [16:38] and fuser [16:38] Dr_willis: it looks so slick to the ppl I do "Dog and Pony" shows for. Gotta have the pretties these days... :) [16:38] Finished - [16:38] Parsec300, umm, sometimes [16:38] i have installed compiz..etc enabled the cube [16:38] Dr_willis: framebuffer and usplash can both work at the same time [16:38] but where is my cube? [16:39] thanks jack... but isn't there a way to add winehq's server to my update manager servers for resource checking ???? [16:39] WorkingOnWise, show them the 5+Month Uptimes.. vs the eye candy you see for 20 sec.. once a month.. :) [16:39] xLE, #compiz for help with that [16:39] its painful, i cant figure it out, must be kernel incompatibility. [16:39] Kr0ntab, if you say so. the whole splash stuff. has changed so much over the years. i cant keep up. [16:39] xLE: ask in compiz-fusion but ctrl-alt left mouse and go [16:39] So, fritz. Anything? [16:39] ls does not do anything [16:40] WorkingOnWise: I cant do that...I am messing with this thing so much, I've not seen 5 day uptimes! And it's a laptop... [16:40] can anyone here help me? im using "nvidia accelerated graphics driver" from restricted drivers.. and its working somewhat. but i cant set resolution above 1024*768.. but i should be able to go as high as 1900 X 1200 [16:40] is there any simple way to play wmv9dmo/wmvdmo video/audio in 64bit ubuntu? (so far what I have found most simple way seems to be to create 32bit chroot enviroment and run 32bit mplayer there) [16:40] I think you have to invoke the command again with --force at the end [16:40] fritz: that might be a bit of a problem. can you be more specific [16:40] Ximal: I think you are asking for problems... I dont care for wine in genral.. but ask in winehq on how to upgrade [16:40] ^ignore that [16:40] sorry [16:41] Jack I am adding it now ... hehe.. I found out how .. it has a tutorial on the website .. [16:41] whats the xgl package? === GodTodd_ is now known as GodTodd [16:41] rich__: SInce you switched drives and it still did not work.. are you putting them into the same enclosure.? [16:41] do no external hard discs that are new work with linux? [16:42] rich__: Virtually they all work [16:42] its a WD passport, custom made one [16:42] Sorry, my bad add -o force [16:42] rich__, sounds like a problem with your system [16:42] yesterday i used a 500GB seagate desktop that didnt work [16:43] How about now? [16:43] and now this 250GB WD passport doesnt etiher, they both say device in use or busy., maybe i should try CentOS to see if i can create a filesystem [16:43] rich__: HAve you tried while running livecd? [16:43] Can you type the correct line please, I do not get it. [16:43] when i plug in the disc it says, mount: /devsdb1 already mounted or /media/WD Passport busy [16:44] this is not true when i check with ls or mount [16:44] hello [16:44] rich__, if you have unplugged the device while it was mounted - that can confuse things. [16:44] are there any good programs for ubuntu to download entire websites? [16:44] !info httrack [16:44] httrack: Copy websites to your computer (Offline browser). In component universe, is optional. Version 3.41.23-1ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 32 kB, installed size 100 kB [16:44] thanks [16:44] im going to restart [16:45] There ya go billy :) it even has a windows port [16:45] eann [16:45] rich__, may i suggest removing those unused mount points within /media? then remount the external USB devices [16:45] fritz, type 'sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/xxx /media/xxx -o force' === velho is now known as velh0 [16:45] anybody with 64bit gutsy: can you play http://eat.it.helsinki.fi/mok/mastoirkki.wmv ? [16:45] Then 'cd /media/Windows' followed by 'ls' [16:46] hey i started having problems with my shift key not working while using compiz [16:47] This throws an error [16:47] Hmmm.. I'm out of options without actually seeing it. [16:48] hmm.. mplayer doesn't play, but xine plays [16:48] I've had bad experiences with mounting NTFS anyways with a friends computer. It crashed the system multiple times [16:48] do i need to recompile the kernel with new usb disc support? [16:48] Parsec300: fritz forgive the late-comer question. fritz, are u replacing the xxx with the correct info, or are u using xxx in your command? [16:49] Try moving your data and repartition the NTFS to be ext3 [16:49] Anyone know of a good voice recognition API for linux ? [16:50] qbert: afaik, there is nothing yet that compares to the Windows worlt, but there are a few projects. Look into festival ans speex [16:50] Anyone know of a simple video editor? [16:50] If I had another computer to do that ... I guess I'll keep rolling it back and see what I may have done wrong. [16:50] ans=and [16:51] WorkingOnWise, thanks [16:51] How much space is the data and how much space do you have free? [16:51] qbert: yw :) [16:52] im not mounting it, im trying to create ext3 or xfs FS on the disc [16:52] How do I unhook it by force? It seems to me that the disk manager from within ubuntu is giving it a hook it should not take? [16:52] i heard tales of running dragon dictate on wine but i haven't given it a try. [16:52] It's possible to resize the NTFS partition. [16:52] Try one more thing. Type 'cd ..' then cd /Windows [16:52] and ls again [16:53] no loading bar in ubuntu , just black screen and it take ages to get into the Login screen , any help? [16:53] larson999 as much of a fan of wine as I am, I never considered using it for ASR...hmmmm [16:53] yo...i heve some problem with ubuntu 7.10 in dell vostro 1500 idon't have sound [16:53] :( [16:53] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) [16:53] don't work none sound :( [16:54] hi,everybody , how to BATCH install ubuntu with 25 PC's :) , hardware completly alike ? :) [16:54] WorkingOnWise, i'm not a fan of wine yet. give it another 10 years :) but i had a handicapped friend who used dragon dictate. not having a solution in linux kept him on windows. [16:54] iblicf: clone the drives with dd [16:54] please..everyone ? [16:54] now I get 'cdrom cdrom0 Windows' [16:54] Amerio, turn off the framebuffer. you will see text scroll by instead of the bar. see if you get any error messages or see which service is slow to start. if everything looks ok, set the frame buffer resolution in GRUB as in the link I advised earlier. [16:55] fritz, cd Windows [16:55] ls [16:55] Hello :) Is it possible to reinstall Nautilus without having to format everything? [16:55] Jack_Sparrow, o ..that's i t , .. [16:55] hello_, why do you want to reinstall nautilus? [16:55] I gotta go in a minute [16:55] iblicf: Thats the easy way... one of them [16:55] hello_: yes it is [16:55] somewhere have dell vostro 1500 ? [16:56] iblicf: Ubuntu does not have the copy protection which is what keeps you from doing it with windows [16:56] I am in 'Windows' [16:56] i have bit problem with me sound! [16:56] type ls [16:56] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) [16:56] don't work nothing! [16:56] :S [16:56] larson999 wine is good enough that it is able to run my only deal breaker app, SketchUp, finally. I love wine for that! But it does hurt that theres no good ASR for linux. I see that IBM is involved again somehow with their viavoice, but havent looked into it yet. [16:56] how do i make vlc act in firefox like win media player for sites with video streaming that require media player? [16:56] iblicf: Even if there are some differences with the hardware, you can still do it and it will or should auto detect.. at worst you have to reconfig xorg [16:56] Dr_willis: Nautilus seems to always be freezing up when I play music; I'm having to type "killall nautilus" in the terminal once every several minutes after I've listened to music for a while. My previous installation of Gutsy didn't do this, so I just want to see if reinstalling helps things [16:56] slipttees: try this link and look for a post by twizler http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-543793.html [16:57] yup, it gives the answer (nice and green) 'cdrom cdrom0 Windows' [16:57] murf3326: for god....thx so much kisses :D [16:57] slipttees: no problem.. good luck. [16:57] what if you typed cd Windows? [16:57] Nothing? [16:57] jack-desktop, first install one , then , ... insert another hdisk , but that disk not been format yet ? [16:57] hello_, 'reinstalling' is windows thinking.. try making a new user. see if it affects them also.. if it does not affect them. then its somthing to do with your gnome users settings. [16:57] WorkingOnWise, i don't have anything against wine. just think i don't want to muck around trying to keep running windows apps :) [16:57] i've just installed gutsy and ff keeps crashing. there is no error message or anything. could a plug-in cause this behavior [16:58] how do i make vlc act in firefox like win media player for sites with video streaming that require media player? [16:58] jack-desktop, isee , do not need format [16:58] iblicf: Let me link cloning help for you... [16:58] !clone [16:58] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [16:58] sorry, I typed cd Windows and now ls is not giving anything again [16:58] Sorry, maybe astro76 can help you further [16:58] iblicf: You can also type man dd are the drives all the same size? [16:59] to unmount type 'umount /media/Windows' Perhaps there is a force option aswell [16:59] Yeah -f to force unmount [16:59] Gotta go [16:59] anyone? [16:59] what do I type at the terminal to display error output of an app. firefox will not load [16:59] jack-desktop, the same size , but there have windows installed , dont's wanna delete [16:59] how do i stop compiz in a session [17:00] i have sites that require win media player. in linux there is no media player. how do i make vlc in mozilla act as media player for video streamings? [17:00] any ideas how i can check what is happenin with the disc and where the problem lies? [17:01] Too bad I wasn't able to help. [17:01] Later ppl [17:01] x_zeuss, I know "mozilla-mplayer" works pretty good. no idea if VLC's got a plugin for it. [17:01] later [17:01] I use mozilla-mplayer mainly also. [17:01] s/good/well [17:01] x_zeuss try sudo apt-get install mozilla-plugin-vlc [17:01] jack-desktop, maybe totally dd whole disk , but ...:) 160G [17:02] what do I type at the terminal to start firefox and print errors [17:02] Jowi: mplayer doesn't play them [17:02] iblicf: are all the diskc the exact same size? [17:02] Jowi: i installed xine, it playes some videos but not all of them [17:02] WorkingOnWise, yes [17:02] tbuss: firefox if that does not do anything then something is wrong wtih your install [17:03] iblicf: Sorry, I was busy elsewhere.. Are you trying to copy windows as well? [17:03] kbrosnan: could a plug-in cause the error? [17:03] x_zeuss, yeah, some wmv9 is not possible to play on linux system yet. [17:03] Does anyone here know how I may install the Linux binary of Unreal Tournament? [17:03] jack-desktop, thanks very much :) [17:03] np [17:03] tbuss just run firefox from the commandline, doesnt that give you the error? [17:04] iblicf: I was trying to find a link I had for dd... give me one more minute [17:04] and is there any solutions for thoese? [17:04] x_zeuss, "file filename.wmv" and see which codec it use.

[17:05] iblicf: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Dd let me know what you think of this option [17:05] iblicf: i did it this way in the past. set up one machine, with everything set up as needed, all codec, filters, plugins, everything. took that disk out, stuck it into a usb enclusure, and then dd'd that drive to all the other machines. I would boot the live cd on a machine, plug in the usb drive, go to a terminal, start the dd, and have coffee. [17:05] Jack_Sparrow, ok , i think , maybe there is only way ... completely dd [17:05] I have learned a valuable lesson this week: the state of wireless in linux is deplorable. Shame on all these hardware companies. [17:05] tbuss oh, nvm, i dont know [17:05] iblicf: go the the next machine, more coffee... [17:05] tbuss maybe you should check your install to see if it is ok [17:05] question: is there a way of bringing up my usb devices in vmware, i have added the usb controller.

[17:36] :) [17:37] elder: and its very slow , I need 2 wait like 1 Minute , before that I had to wait for 15 or 20 seconds 2 get into the login screen [17:37] rich__: That is the point I was trying to make earlier.. The enclosures you selected require a driver .... Most likely available in windows What type of enclosure are you using [17:37] solomon: I'm not sure here.. other people might know more but afaik you can't install directly to a raid.. all the howto's I've seen makes you do the install first and then convert the root drive to raid [17:37] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50403/ [17:37] Slart: hm, i installed feisty to a raid using the alt. install [17:37] WD passport [17:37] Anderson: Be sure to do "sudo aptitude update" after editing your sources.lst.

[17:38] Amerio: well i am a new user to ubuntu, perhaps i just assumed it to be normal. Im not qiute sure then, but my OS seems to run fine. [17:38] a quick question from a new linux user: If I add a script to /etc/init.d/ will it automatically execute on each bootup? [17:38] solomon: oh?.. sweet.. I haven't used the alternate install..doesn't xubuntu have an alternate install you can use? [17:38] Nobuyuki`: good afternoon and happy new year [17:38] I want to add something to execute some output from iptables-save so I don't keep losing my internet connection sharing [17:38] elder: yeah it runs fine but there is sth wrong with the frame buffer , u run 2 OS right? [17:38] Slart: yup. i have just typically done raid5, which grub can't install to.. i wanted to make sure grub also doesn't do raid0 [17:39] Amerio: 2 OS? [17:39] elder: two operating system or ur just running ubuntu? [17:39] solomon: oh.. well.. keep asking.. someone must know [17:40] rich__, can you do lsusb and paste that output please [17:40] Amerio: On this comp ubuntu.. on the rest of the household is all currently XP pro. [17:40] how do I clean a CD-RW in ubuntu? [17:40] rich__, in the pastebin ;-) [17:40] hey, is it possible to upload files from some directory to an sshfs mount point as they change ? [17:40] Slart: if i don't get confirmation i'll just assume i've got to make a non-raid /boot... or maybe i'll make it a raid1 so i can boot like 2 seconds faster :P [17:40] elder: because it was running normally but after installing vista the progress bar disappeared [17:41] Amerio: Im not sure then. Is it partitioned on the same drive? or separate drives? [17:41] hello, I need a GUI to mount CD-Images [17:41] amerio: is grub still properly installed and usplash?? [17:41] elder: different paritions [17:41] join #compiz-fusion [17:41] usplash gives yo the progress bar i think?? [17:42] brobostigon: have no idea .. how 2 check on that?

No software required. http://www.zamzar.com/ [17:50] keep in mind, filenames are case-sensitive [17:50] Anyone know a name of a syslog-server in Feisty? I want to save fw-log on this computer. [17:50] Amerio: Command not found. [17:50] elder: r u sure u've installed the game? [17:50] Bash: Quake: command not found [17:50] how about running "sudo updatedb" and then "locate quake" to find out where it is? [17:51] need a way to get know about my remote linux router IP. any help?? [17:51] Amerio: ive installed the package under Synaptic Package Manager, it came with ubuntu i would assume. [17:51] Wolf23: hmm... I can't find it any more.. they might have removed it when the linux flash 9 player was officially released [17:51] sarthor: on your linux box type "ifconfig" in the terminal [17:51] Amerio: would i need to get an iso from an online source? or require the install disc itself? [17:51] eldeR: using synaptic package manager? ok again open synaptic and search for quake2 , read the discription , do u think its a game? [17:51] elder: I'm getting it from Synaptic now to check... Saw it a little while back and thought about picking it up, now I have a reason. :) [17:52] Amerio: i know its a game (FPS) and it says it is installed [17:52] Slart: huh.... oh no [17:52] Amerio: Green box next to it. [17:52] Does anyone have any experience loading a usb camera with Gutsy? [17:52] elder: have no idea [17:52] Wolf23: or.. wait.. this looks good.. try this one http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/9/flash_player_9_linux_dev.tar.gz [17:52] I loaded the gspca drivers [17:53] Nobuyuki`, if the server is away from here. and i want to now.every time for this server ip. [17:53] and tried using camorama [17:53] brb .. coffee break [17:53] whew, well I'm new so I'm just learning this stuff too. I'm trying to set up a home router right now myself ;) [17:53] Amerio : Thank you anyway. i think ill second that break. [17:54] My usb camera is detected (by dmesg) [17:54] !enter | javialquim [17:54] javialquim: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [17:54] but it doesn't create the /dev/video0 that camorama is looking for [17:54] elder: you know that its the engine not the game right? [17:54] Slart: after done, how can i install it? coz i am newbie friend, sorry [17:54] Wolf23: yes.. that was the one.. download that file and look in the folder "standalone".. there should be one single file called "flashplayer".. just run that by doubleclicking it [17:55] Wolf23: nothing to be sorry for.. double click on the file.. it should open in file-roller or sometihng similar [17:55] Slart: ok thanx i try :)) === andres_ is now known as andresCanavesi_ === teester is now known as help [17:56] Drainman: That's what I was just looking at. Looks like the quake2-data is just an installer to pull the data from the CD or whatever to load for the game engine, basically allowing you to run in natively, but you have to have the CD or data files from somewhere else [17:56] rich__, one thing you can test is just moving it from one usb slot to another === help is now known as okedoky === Carb0n_ is now known as Carb0n [17:57] Yes, I tried moving it to another USB slot. It is detected fine, it is the fact that it seems not to mount. I know, it's not a file system, I don't know how else to describe it [17:57] I'm signing off now. Happy New year, everyone. Looking forward for a great year with Ubuntu! [17:58] How do I make conky a widget in compiz? [17:58] I tried putting class=conky in the widget layer but pressing F9 does nothing [17:58] Oh... by the way it is some obscure camera that came with a telescope my son got for Christmas. It has windows drivers and software but we don't have a windows machine in this house. [17:59] any amule user ?

[18:01] Wolf23: yes.. that's the player.. doubleclick that file.. another window should open with just a single flashplayer file in it [18:01] Wolf23: drag that file to your desktop or something.. then double click on it [18:02] Amerio: I get the black screen, too... after upgrading to Gutsy. You can fix it by modifying the resolution by hand, from what I've read [18:02] Slart: yes it shows a dialog, and then what can i do, or how i open the .fla file? [18:02] hello, wigliam [18:02] could someone help me configure my wifi card and connection ? im lost trying to configure it with ndiswrapper [18:02] thanks [18:02] Amerio: haven't tried it myself yet, though...

[18:05] Brian`: have you tried to edit xorg by hand? [18:05] javialquim, :how to know about that Live IP. [18:05] ader10: use iclass (case-insensitive) [18:05] Does anyone know how to decompile a Macromedia Projector EXE (windows) to swf? [18:05] crdlb: Could you give me an example of how to use it [18:05] <^BucketHead^> hi, im using 5.10 breezy. But i cannot install anything using my Package Manager.. Apparently it seems that the Breezy repos are all unavailable [18:05] ader10: iclass=conky [18:06] ^BucketHead^: yep.. time to upgrade [18:06] crdlb: I'll try it [18:06] what's the safest way to install binary installers (like vmware)? [18:06] <^BucketHead^> Scunizi, How do i upgrade ? [18:07] ^BucketHead^, you get a new CD for gutsy and use that [18:07] ^BucketHead^, backup your home directory first [18:07] <^BucketHead^> ompaul, damn..isn't there anyway to install few stuffs right now , like gcc and amsn ? [18:07] buskethead: try the live cd first, make sure gutsy likes your hardware [18:07] ^BucketHead^, no [18:07] <^BucketHead^> ompaul, in my breezy [18:07] Not entirely an Unbuntu question but... is there a script or command in xchat that will copy text to a seperate window whenever someone types a line with my nick in it. Just so I don't miss it as it scrolls by in the channel window. [18:08] could someone help me configure my wifi card and connection ? im lost trying to configure it with ndiswrapper... im on a modified mandriva kernel cause of my hardware [18:08] buckethead: if you are still using 5.1, you might not mind a stable version. 7.04 might be the ticket [18:08] is there any way to make the aMSN fonts look...less bad? [18:08] ^BucketHead^: from your version there's no easy method. Backup your data from the /home directory, reformat and reinstall. When reinstalling it's a good idea to create a seperate partition just for /home. It makes upgrading easier in the future. Download and burn the latest ISO and go for it.. [18:08] ^BucketHead^, support for it lasted 18 months from date of issue [18:08] noob question: When I attempt to install audacious from the package manager i get a not installable message [18:08] ^BucketHead^, 18 months from 5.10 [18:08] also, my input for this bounces in pidgin [18:09] Odd-rationale: thnx dude .... [18:09] how do I re-INSTALL the Grub? [18:09] <^BucketHead^> ompaul, damn.. so it seems im stuck until i get a gutsy CD :S [18:09] !grub | Amerio [18:09] Amerio: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [18:10] ompaul: thanx [18:10] noob question: When I attempt to install audacious from the package manager i get a not installable message [18:11] Is there any way to continue using my dial-up connection once I connect the Ethernet cable to my local network? This seems to kill the dial-up until the ethernet is disconnected again... [18:11] linux for human beings seems to be a dream right now cause of manufacturers not making linux drivers... === andres__ is now known as andresCanavesi [18:11] ^BucketHead^ : http://bea.cabarel.com/modules/PunBB/viewtopic.php?id=314 [18:12] new breezey repo [18:12] loudnlownoma: you gotta choose one or the other.. why would you want both connected? [18:12] is there any concern with installing binaries in / without package management? [18:12] ^BucketHead^, however it is not supported by here or canonical [18:12] hello [18:12] any one can help me to install ubuntu in my system [18:13] yeah, no support :( if what already exists works good, there is no reason to upgrade. you should really consider moving to feisty though [18:13] Scunizi: I use a dial-up connection(from my cell phone) to connect to the Internet. Only option where I'm at, unless I want to pay ridiculous prices for satellite connection... But, I have a few other computers in the house, and would like to be able to leave the Ethernet connected to share files, etc. while I'm connected to the Internet. [18:13] ompaul: i've already read those guides , I lost my ubuntu progress bar and Im getting black screen after choosing ubuntu to boot from [18:13] does anyone know why the vmware package in the repos wouldn't install on core2 duo? [18:13] John_R, support for that dies in less than 12 months [18:14] ops, PlayIP is a spam bot. Wanna kick it? [18:14] yeah, but by then hardy will be out [18:14] I have Problems with my ATI X300 on the Dell D610 and dual monitor setup. Anyone has a working xorg.conf? [18:14] and its LTS [18:14] !test [18:14] Failed. [18:14] %test [18:14] the reason to move to feisty would just be training for hardy [18:14] loudnlownoma: ah.. ok.. what you're asking is basically internet connection sharing (ICS). It's dooable but unfortunatly I don't know how. [18:14] John_R, as would gutsy [18:14] is true that with ati mobility radeon (integrated) on 7.1 cannot ibernate or suspend? [18:14] !test [18:14] hjk [18:14] penguinguy1234, ? [18:15] I don't want to really share them....unless that same term is different here than Windows. [18:15] Is anyone else getting spammed on IRC by "PlayIP"? [18:15] feisty has been out longer, has more updates. more stable IMO than gutsy [18:16] Scunizi: This is the only computer I am worried about being online, I just want to be able to access the other PC's while I am. Without having to disconnect the ethernet and reset my dial-up to get back online [18:16] chazco, <-- PlayIP (i=MagInvit@85.204.158.155) has quit (K-lined) [18:16] loudnlownoma: you should ask the room again mentioning ICS and the fact you'd like to keep the internet connection locked to the host machine on the network. [18:16] Ah, missed that... i guess they were then [18:16] Is there an approved way of making deb's with mime assosiations? [18:16] Scunizi: k, Thanks! [18:17] chazco, they are gone [18:17] how can I install mouse cursors on a local or user basis? [18:17] I can only add things to /usr/share/icons, as of now [18:17] ompaul - you mean the spammers or the mime type system? [18:17] It's telling me that firefox is running but it's not anywhere to be found. How can I kill all firefox processes from terminal? [18:17] Anyone here that can help with ICS and keeping the internet connection locked to the host machine on the network? [18:18] chazco, spammers [18:18] Hi. [18:18] ok [18:18] emma: run "ps aux" and look for firefox-bin and then "kill -9 num" of that proc [18:18] norv: use art gnome, download and then install with the default mod tool [18:19] With a count of over 1200 users in this room I wonder how many nicks are actually ghosts [18:19] @julienb: didn't need anydriver for my wifi card, just set the wap key [18:20] @scunizi: why these ghosts? [18:20] Can anyone tell me the best place to go to ask questions about creating .deb's (not for the repos though)? [18:20] wigliam: thanks, never heard of that. if that doesn't work, like 2 other apps I've tried, I'll just link th one in /usr/local/share/icons to /usr/share/icons/default [18:21] I'm trying to rebuild linux-ubuntu-modules. Seems like everything built fine but the modules were apparently built for the wrong kernel. How do I specify which kernel to build against? [18:21] wigliam.. just wondering. when I logged on this morning my nick had to be ghosted to get control of it. Just wondering how many other nicks are really just stuck in never never land. [18:21] hello everyone [18:21] brand new ubuntu user here [18:21] welcome, jdh6403 [18:22] tyty [18:22] jdh6403: hi from all 1200 of us in here. [18:22] jdh6403: welcome! [18:22] wigliam: I don't think gnome-art is what I'm looking for, I need to install just existing directories [18:22] wigliam: be nice if there was an icons.conf or something where I could set the search path [18:23] i like ubuntu....but i find running firefox in wine is easier for flash and embedded video....anyone else find this out too? [18:23] jdh6403: maybe if you were using 64 bit or something [18:23] jdh6403: what version? [18:23] id like to just use firefox without using wine...but my fave sites are flash heavy [18:23] it's not working. When I click on the firefox icon it tells me that i cannot start firefox because it's not responding and already running, i must either restart or else terminate the firefox process [18:23] i am using 32 bit [18:23] jdh6403: you just need to install flash9 in ubuntu. Running firefox in wine seems silly [18:24] jdh6403: what ubuntu version? 7.04? 7.1? [18:24] flash9? is that on synaptic? [18:24] beerfan: he's new to ubuntu.. tell him how to do it. [18:24] I used Icecat because it lets me run a firefo 2.0 along with 3.0.. is there a better way? [18:24] the newest version feisty fawn [18:24] *firefox [18:24] cool, feisty rocks [18:24] yes. install "flash-plugin-nonfree" (something like that...don't think that's the exact name [18:24] any ideas how i can make firefox work again? [18:24] i don't think that works anymore tho [18:25] jdh6403: sorry... feisty is good but not the newest version.. that's Gutsy [18:25] without restarting? [18:25] the flash [18:25] ok i tried that and it didnt work [18:25] flash works great on firefox under feisty, and video sites too [18:25] ok [18:25] hold on ill check and get you the exact pkg names [18:25] that flash plugin nonfree doesnt work [18:25] Note the channel topic if you're struggling to install Flash [18:25] brobostigon: i try vlc and cannot open .swf [18:25] You can manually install it from adobe.com if you really need it, but probably best to wait for the deb to be fixed [18:25] ty chazco [18:25] jdh6403: oh, right. There's a bug with it right now. That's a rare thing. I forgot about that. [18:25] How do I add items to my menu that have installed without them? [18:26] it isnt a big thing [18:26] I keep getting this message: Firefox is already running but is not responding. To open a new window you must terminate the existing process or restart your system. [18:26] thats why i am using firefox in wine for the time being [18:26] is there anything to do about the speed of the NL archive servers ? [18:26] man how slow [18:26] you can just copy the flashplugin file to ~/.mozilla/plugins and it will work [18:26] Any ideas? Once this happened and someone in here knew what to type. [18:26] emma, try "killall firefox-bin" [18:26] Lunar_Lamp: You mean to the Applications menu? [18:26] loudnlownoma, yes. [18:26] great idea! [18:26] emma: the fastest way to fix that without the terminal is CTRL+Alt+backspace [18:27] jdh6403: flashplugin-nonfree, libflash0c2, libflash-mozplugin, libswfdec0.3, swf-player [18:27] @lunarlamp just modify your menu in preference/ main menu [18:27] Lunar_Lamp: System > Preferences > Main Menu. That will give you the list of the menus, and a New Menu and New Item option to add in your own [18:27] those are the packages i have installed under feisty concerning dlash and i dont have a problem [18:27] beerfan just download the flashplugin nonfree file and then copy it to that folder? [18:27] killall did the trick. I have to remember that one. [18:27] Why on earth would that happen anyway? [18:28] loudnlownoma, aah - ok - I missed that completely (I don't use gnome too often) [18:28] jdh6403: search on your fs for "flashplugin". If it's installed in wine you might find it in there. On my system the file is called "flashplugin-alternative.so" but it might be called different in windows. [18:28] wigliam: the problem is there isn't a default tool, it's just.. a directory [18:28] jdh6403: apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree libflash0c2 libflash-mozplugin libswfdec0.3 swf-player [18:28] wigliam: but i learned "cp" and "ln" is good enough to install them [18:28] Lunar_Lamp: No worries. Had to look about for it myself the first time. :) [18:29] john copy that line into terminal? [18:29] yep [18:29] sudo first [18:29] cool [18:29] sudo -s [18:29] right [18:29] then you password [18:30] hey all [18:30] trying to use ekiga [18:30] i'm able to place calls to phones via my pc [18:30] but what I would like to do is set it up [18:30] so that I can place a call to my cell phone, then speak with someone else on another line via my cell phone using my sip provider [18:30] so, in essence, forward the call from my pc to my cell phone [18:30] Anyone here that can help with ICS and keeping the internet connection locked to the host machine on my network? [18:31] can someone help me use the wget command, it keeps giving me errors that the name or service is not known [18:31] away [18:31] misterblonde2517: what did you type in? [18:32] oh man ubuntu is kickin vista's butt IMO [18:32] this is nice [18:32] wget -x [18:32] does flash work native now? [18:32] last time i attempted linux was with an old version of fedora...but this is nice [18:32] jdh6403: I definitely understand that feeling. My new PC came with Vista on it and lasted about 3 hours before I was installing Gutsy. :) [18:32] yeah, ubuntu rocks [18:33] anyone familiar with ekiga [18:33] jdh6403: careful... you'll be getting addicted pretty quick :) [18:33] my wife used my boxes a ltitle bit, then let me replace vista on her brand new dell laptop with feisty [18:33] lol [18:33] i'm able to call phone lines via pc [18:33] lol [18:33] does any one know how i can telenet my pc from another pc via the internet [18:33] want to forward calls to my cell phone [18:33] i just hafta figure out how to get my other monitor going i have installed the nvidia restricted drivers and still do not see a nvidia settings proggy anywhere [18:34] jdh6403: if you want to have some real fun, get vmware server from the vmware site and a free license. you can run xp in a vm, solaris in a vm, and any linux or bsd flavor you want [18:34] jdh6403 - press Alt+F2 and run "nvidia-settings" [18:34] ahimaj: forwarding calls to your cell would be a function of ekiga if it will let you do that.. [18:34] jdh6403: you may need to install the binary driver from nvidia's site for that [18:34] it doesn't work [18:34] scunizi, I enabled call forwarding [18:34] when I make a call via pc to a phone [18:34] beerfan - jdh6403 - No need, the ones in restricted has everything you should need [18:34] it connects, but doesn't forward the call to my cell [18:35] what I want to be able to do is make a call via pc, then have my cell phone ring [18:35] when I pick up, I am connected to the person I have dialed via pc === cycom is now known as Cycom [18:36] ahimaj: someone will need to call your sip number from another computer to have it forward to your cell. You cannot make a call and then switch it from the pc to your cell. [18:36] ahimaj, not seen that done - since way back then.. in the days of dialup and modems. :) === Cycom is now known as cycom [18:36] it works for internetcalls.com [18:36] they have an interface that does it for you [18:36] how do i get my vc's back? I deleted tty3-6 in /etc/event.d . With that done, I had just a blank screen with a cursor in the upper left corner in all vc's, ctrl-alt-f1 thru f6. I recreated tt3-6 using tty2 as a template, and rebooted. still no vc's. still only blank screen with a cursor in the upper left. [18:36] I guess ekiga isnt' able to [18:36] jdh6403: did those packages get flash working in ubuntu firefox? [18:37] John_R, until the ubuntu packages are fixed, you can use adobe's tar.gz to install [18:38] john it said i already had the latest version installed [18:38] how can I search for what package provides a specific file? [18:38] and it didnt appear to install anything [18:38] hello [18:38] can someone help me setup a wireless connection on ubuntu server edition? [18:38] does anybody now, how I end the XServer [18:39] ok now Ive disabled the splash screen , no black screen anymore , how 2 get the splash screen back? [18:39] Karyom: try "sudo gdm stop" [18:39] jdh6403: wild [18:39] ya john [18:39] John_R: you know the flashplugin-nonfree package is currently broken right? [18:40] i am messing with nvidia settings atm [18:40] tells me that gdm is already runnin??! [18:40] ill brb it wants me to reboot [18:40] Karyom, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [18:40] jdh6403 - You may need to run it as root for it to work fully [18:40] dpkg-reconfigure can edit configuration files using several frontends. What command configures dpkg-config to change frontends? [18:40] Karyom: you need to run that from a console. ctrl-alt-f1 [18:40] What podcast apps are there out there? [18:41] Hi.

The Multimedia tab will let you select the program to use [18:44] amikrop: But i don't know if that will change it for all multimedia files, or just music [18:44] loudnlownoma: I have set audacious there, but still no luck. [18:44] anyway [18:44] amikrop: you need to go into the properties. Not just use the open with menu option [18:44] amikrop: D'oh. That would have been my guess. Sorry.

However, I use the turboprint proprietary driver to run my printer, and that can support giving ink levels from the command line. In the interest of expanding my knowledge, what methods could I use to give myself nice status notification of ink levels? [19:08] Radius: ^^ cant help you out with ms. maybe you try it with a windows-help-channel. is your client far away from the router? maybe it is just a physical thing... [19:09] What's kacpid? [19:09] hey radius [19:09] sorry about that [19:09] radius,try reseting your router. [19:09] I can see I could write a script in bash or whatever to email me if there's a problem and put it in crontab, but I'd like something graphical like the status monitors on windows. Is there any easy way to roll a custom panel applet? A universal monitor? [19:09] i mean your modem. [19:09] !? === |GuS| is now known as [GuS] [19:10] whenever my windows couldn't access the internet,i reset my modem and it worked fine. [19:10] i'll try.... [19:10] there should be a "reset" button on the back of you modem that you can press with a paper clip or some sharp object. [19:10] I know tools like cronky and gkrellm can be modified to monitor almost anything. I remember from my kde usage that there were superkaramba bits that could do that too [19:10] yeh there is :) [19:10] hi all, i dual boot gutsy and xp,want to clean some space from my windows partion, i know it just doesnt delete the stuff but puts it in a file, can someone tell me the name and location of that file [19:11] Radius: whiskey_40, i think his prob is a lan-thing... [19:11] might be,i've had so many unexplainable trouble with windows... [19:11] Radius can you ping your router? [19:11] can anyone recommend a usb wireless dongle that works out of the box with ubuntu?

Just something plain and simple. [19:13] whiskey_40 not true, windows boxes make great botnet nodes! [19:13] thanks [19:13] quick question [19:13] Can someone give me the ouput of groups `whoami` please? [19:13] k, thanks [19:13] Jockeo: the vanialla torrent client is fine [19:13] well i'm not extremely techy and all i handle mostly is music production and gaming,so from that point of view windows is terrible for everything else. [19:14] where can i find the boot info for grub for ubuntu? [19:14] microsoft makes a fine gaming console though....it beats the heck out of the ps3 [19:14] i do my music in osx and only use fruity loops in windows to construct some beat loops. [19:14] Phantom|Phoenix: do you mean /boot/grub/menu.lst? [19:14] yeah [19:14] but mine is blank [19:14] lol [19:14] its a long story [19:14] im using easybcd [19:14] Phantom|Phoenix: its not blank, youre' not using sudo to look at it.

Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [19:17] murf3326: the way it asks for your password [19:17] VSpike: cool, but how? [19:17] murf3326 gksudo is used for running graphical stuff where sudo is used for command line stuff [19:17] Enselic: thats riduclous, there's a lot more differences than that [19:18] can anyone recommend a usb wireless dongle that works out of the box with ubuntu? [19:18] basically, i just need the info that points to my kernel so i can enter that into my neogrub menu.lst [19:18] so it will actually boot using BCD [19:18] Enselic, at boot in the grub menu, hit "e" to edit the boot line, and add the option "single" to the line [19:18] VSpike: thanks a lot, cheers [19:18] ok... gotcha... thanks!

[19:21] and i follow install instructions on the ubuntu website to the letter [19:21] do you h ave the appropriate plugins installed?

[19:21] i have everything the website tells me to install [19:21] Enselic, /etc/hosts edited [19:21] java applets are the only thing that really don't work for me in amd64 [19:21] jdh6403: you followed the instructions *to the letter*, but you don't know if you have them installed? [19:22] yes i have them installed [19:22] mplayer....java....flash nonfree [19:22] hi [19:22] I need help [19:22] jdh6403: can't explain it, all plugins work fine for me. [19:22] !ask | Gurby [19:22] Gurby: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [19:22] krazytekn0: i also installed sendmail with aptitude, but purging it kept the init script there still. is that expected?

[19:23] for downloading file [19:24] i think im gonna go reinstall 64 bit ubuntu now.... [19:24] Laney: i don't really mess w/ 64bit anymore, i decided it wasn't worth the hassle, and put all my pcs/laptops on 32bit. [19:24] IndyGunGreak: it worked before I installed vista :@ [19:24] IndyGunFreak: Ah, ok [19:24] Gurby: using firefox? [19:24] ahhh ok IndyGunFreak [19:24] yes [19:24] so you think 64 bit isnt worth it? [19:24] why does gnome not load xorg.conf (i did change some settings in ubuntu screen/driver settings, but then i added few things into xorg.conf,.. but does not load them)? [19:24] Konam: do you use a wireless or wire 2 transfer files? [19:24] jdh6403: to me, no... it wasn't worth the hassle...

[19:25] Scunizi, yes [19:25] jdh6403: well, everything is confirmed to work w/ 32bit.. so .. [19:25] Konam: usually big files freezes when u use wireless , try to use a wire im sure u wont face any problem [19:25] Does anybody here use a TV tuner card under Ubuntu? [19:25] !tv [19:25] FrostRat: i do. [19:25] http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out [19:25] danfg yeah usually, they leave config files and stuff like that in place so that if you install again you don't have to set it up over again [19:25] I am trying to install a theme for cairo clock, but when I try to extract or move the theme files to usr/share/cairo-clock/themes it says I don't have the permission to move the files there, I don't want to log in as root, can I do this without logging as root? [19:25] !sudo [19:25] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [19:25] ooooo IndyGunFreak how do you get that to work...thats another thing i want to get working [19:26] jdh6403: get what to work? [19:26] krazytekn0: but is that expected when you purge them?

[19:51] SpeS, comparing one nic to another is futile, lest you know what each driver capabilities are [19:51] i got glitches as the loading bar stops! (sorry for the lines) [19:52] Anderson: once you chmod the file, and run the installer, it does everything else, just fllow the instructions, it should install no probl. [19:52] truna, I don't know what capabilities they have (?) [19:52] IndyGunFreak, Install was a cinch, I am on configuration for mozilla [19:52] I have also been having a problem with pidgin, the input text "jumps" up and down as I type [19:52] SpeS, thats the point of what am saying, its difficult to pinpoint the faults..it could be the driver enabling the sensitivity of the radio or what not [19:53] IndyGunFreak, it says go to installation directory, but I did locate mozilla and it gave me several directories, i.e. /etc /lib [19:53] hello everyone i've got problems installing ubuntu 7.04;when i try to install it gives me this error "/bin/sh: can't access tty: job controll turned off" any body can help? [19:53] Anderson: oh ok.., hmm, i'm not sure, hang on [19:53] LVDave: have you tried the same file on a win system? maybe the avi is corrupt. [19:53] {Nathan}: try running `sudo mount -o remount,rw /mount/point' [19:53] <{Nathan}> Laney: I fixed it, didn't even think of doing an fsck. [19:53] truna, well.. the thing is that the rt61pci driver doesn't work well here :( [19:53] SpeS, furthermore, radio have issues with signals not propagating same depending on obstacles ..etc [19:53] {Nathan}: OK [19:54] truna, what can I do then? try ndiswrapper?? [19:54] Anderson: so did the Java install? [19:54] arbri: Googling gives me some ubuntuforums posts, have you tried what they suggest? [19:54] Scunizi: The AVI was recorded in Windows by the FRAPS windows screen recorder.. It plays fine in Windows, but I have no idea what codec it used.. [19:54] hello, is there a shell Kommand to get the exact Kernel runnin? [19:54] IndyGunFreak, yea, no prob [19:54] SpeS, then if you believed that the driver for such chip and nic card is faulty, perhaps another nic card can perform better? [19:54] truna, the problem is this driver, not the nic nor the radio link, that's for sure [19:54] nope they dont resolve [19:54] LVDave u gspot in windows it will tell u [19:54] ok, and whats the issue you're having now?.. i have to admit, once i install, Java just works, i didn't need to do anything else [19:55] Karyom: uname -a [19:55] help! i'm having some troubles here. trying to reinstall ubuntu. i was using fedora. for some reason fedora didn't just create new partitions, it created new "devices". one is called /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 for example. how do I get rid of these undesirable "devices" so that I can set up the partition the way I used to have them (as all being under /dev/sda)????

I have that in Windows.. Will boot back into windows and check.. had hoped to be able to do it in Ubuntu... [19:55] hi [19:55] Laney thanks [19:55] IndyGunFreak, where it says go to install directory. I did locate mozilla and it shows mozilla directories in places like etc and lib... but I don't know what the "installation" directory is [19:55] truna, that's not an option either xD [19:55] SpeS, yeah, ultimately buying a good one that is widely supported in linux [19:56] LVdave on the ubuntu forum theres a list of formats [19:56] arbri: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=280090 [19:56] !formats [19:56] thnx [19:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about formats - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:56] annonymouse: linux doesn't have such a thing [19:56] annonymouse: what are you looking for?

[20:01] Vadi: that's an "interface". not an address [20:01] whats the point in having multiple logging bots? [20:01] Vadi is that card the rev 2 right? [20:01] I have also been having a problem with pidgin, the input text "jumps" up and down as I type [20:01] Okay, whatever. It says logical adress there. [20:01] Vadi, logical address as in link layer address yo meant? [20:01] anakin_: delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf and run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [20:01] wols: already did that too. [20:01] oops i lost the messages anybody answered me? sorry i got my uncle with tech problems to solve too [20:01] ? [20:01] wols: they are deleted. but i can't format them as ext3, comes up with an error. [20:02] truna, I can chat, and browse, but it doesn't load some webs some times, it disconnects frecuently and so... and it's the driver's fault [20:02] ie, having ubuntulog and IRSeekBot? [20:02] Konam: No, 1 [20:02] well I d/led the bin file... and it automatically downloaded to the desktop and I installed it thinking it will install the right dir.... it put it on the desktop... so How do I uninstall it? [20:02] matthe1: Tried fdisk? Sounds like you were using lvm before [20:02] Konam: "03:00.0 0280: 14e4:4311 (rev 01)" for lspci [20:02] striphe: what do you mean by "jumps"? [20:02] matthe1: WHAT error? [20:02] wols: doesn't say, going to run from terminal to get more information. [20:02] SpeS, if you can iwpriv wlan0 and see what capabilities you can tweak [20:03] truna, i.e. long downloads fails, errors with msn, etc... it's annoying [20:03] Laney: perhaps I was, i don't know how fedora set things up, it did it on its own. i guess i can try fdisk [20:03] i got a gigabyte mobo ga945gcmx-s2 with a 2140 processor and a gb ram , ide drives [20:03] i cant boot the ubuntu cd [20:03] Task1:java? it's in usr/local when installed that way IIRC [20:03] SpeS, i gave you different options earlier, fork out some dough or do wired..or settle with what you got [20:03] truna, I don't understand that output [20:03] i got glitches on screeen somebody can help me, i think it's a simple problem to solve [20:04] Vadi i have the link on the laptop, wait [20:04] rob, as a type anything, the text moves up and down [20:04] maybe my videocard is unsupported? [20:04] Hello, is KDETV runnin on Gnome, or is there a good TV Program for Gnome? [20:04] Konam: Okay, thanks man. I've been trying to get this to work for a month now.

[20:05] wols: so if i can't get the via drivers to work, what xorg driver should i install? [20:05] __mikem: same [20:05] truna, so you thing that playing with those params I could make this thing work well? [20:05] Vadi, its me, Konam, on the laptop [20:05] anakin_: vesa [20:05] What would be the proper command to unrar a series of files, .r01, etc....do I have to write a shell script? [20:05] Oh there are 2 of you. [20:05] __mikem, I tried both and i stick with VMWare, for me it's much faster than VirtualBox [20:05] anakin_: and afaik there are via drivers for it coming with xorg [20:06] do flash fmovies play under ubuntu then [20:06] SpeS, who knows, those are what the drivers can see, to modify them am not sure..the driver must let you or else no other way [20:06] annonymouse: yes [20:06] <__mikem> stan-k: I have heard mixed reports [20:06] Vadi, look what i did, I uninstalled the official driver installed through the restricted manager [20:06] i've tried all the resolution.. at 1024 it starts, shows the desktop, then the monitor shutdown [20:06] i get a GStreamer error [20:06] what could it be? [20:06] Vadi you already did so? [20:06] <__mikem> Some say virtual box is better, some say vmware is better, I want to know for sure [20:06] Koman: I have no idea where are we at right now. Let me check. [20:06] !better [20:06] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. [20:06] wols, got it working using sun's bin [20:06] striphe: are you running desktop effects? [20:07] __mikem, well I am just saying, I think VMWare is much faster [20:07] __mikem, you are the only one can decide that..we have our own preferences [20:07] Anderson: bad move. it will break with some update in the future. have fun [20:07] yes [20:07] __mikem, just try both and make your decision ;) [20:07] stan-k I think its the other way around ;) [20:07] Hey, I have a laptop, I want to install ubuntu on, I don't have a CD drive, how else can I install it? (Partitions are already setup) [20:07] I have a bit of a question... I have an HDD here (running on the 7.10 livecd now) that has a lot of corrupted sectors- I should like to format my drive "securely" so that whatever bored warranty-repair tech doesn't go snooping. Are there any utilities that won't freak out on a bad sector? [20:07] Terabyte: I am told it can be installed via flashdrive or external harddrive [20:07] stan-k, Koman: since both will run on the same hardware and use the same approach: they are pretty much the same [20:07] VMware makes it easier to configure bridged networking [20:08] striphe: k, i just started pidgin, as i normally use xchat, and my text box kinda shook while i was typing. [20:08] Silver_Seagull: dban for example. if you tell dd to ignore errors it would work too [20:08] purpZey, what do I place on the flashdrive, the contents of the extracted ISO>? (I want to install 704) [20:08] wols, no, it depends, vmware isn't the same without the vmware-tools [20:08] Koman: Ok, the restricted driver is off now. What next? [20:08] Terabyte, what other type of external devices your laptop can interface to? [20:08] <__mikem> Koman, perhaps it depends what you are running as a host [20:08] Does the Gutsy DVD have the encrypted root installation option like the Alternative CD? [20:08] hmmm, i turned off the visual enhancements, and it still shakes [20:08] Vadi it didn't ask you to restart or something? [20:08] Terabyte: I'm not sure, there is a wiki somewhere...But I know it can be done. [20:08] Koman: both those products use the same approach. same fundamental limitations and strenghts [20:08] i will tryout xchat... pidgin just comes with the os ;) [20:09] truna: I have a USB port and an SD card reader [20:09] ok.. [20:09] pidgin ftw [20:09] truna, well ok, I'll make few more tries... or buy a new nic if I can't get it... thanks :) [20:09] i like pidgin its good [20:09] h is there an easy way to get dual screen setu in gusty for radeon 9550 pls, i also have xgl enabled [20:09] is there a good forum where i can check.. anybody can solve my problem [20:09] Does anybody here have a copy of the VistaBut theme for gtk2? I'd like to have it but I can't find any d/l links on the interwebs. [20:09] the ubuntu ones quite good [20:09] ? [20:09] Terabyte, it looks like the suggested USB flash drive or PXE install (via your nic card, assuming your nic card supports pxe) [20:09] but I am having some trouble with the USB devices in VMWare [20:09] isocore: use tha alternative text mode install. and vesa should work fine for you [20:09] they are just not detected [20:10] tnx wols! [20:10] wols: is there a utility I could use inside the ubuntu environment? The other cd-burning laptop in the house is a brick... as the owner has forgotten their password [20:10] ader10 I saw it on www.gnome.look.org [20:10] Silver_Seagull: as I said: dd [20:10] SpeS, good luck, do not under-estimate wired..its still the best..data centers use them [20:10] wols:i have to exit the graphis install? [20:10] Koman: No [20:10] I cant get the wireless in my laptop to turn on under kubuntu. I got it working yesterday in ubuntu, but it just wont work under Kubuntu for some reason. [20:10] truna: can you explain in detail? what fiels should I get? [20:10] can you run ubuntu gnome with kubuntu [20:10] wols: whoa, apparently my eyes are going in addition to my HDD :P [20:10] Karyom: the link on gnome-look.org is broken [20:11] truna, I know I know, but I can't physically go wired :( [20:11] isocore:yes, and use another installer. you said the graphics installer didn't work due to screen corruption? so you are running the ubuntu livecd right now? [20:11] Karyom: do you happen to have the package? [20:11] wols:yes [20:11] Silver_Seagull: but make sure dd ignores error with the proper command [20:11] Terabyte, i dont know on top of my head, you have to do some googling..there are plenty of tutorials on this [20:11] wols: have i to download a different version? [20:11] Vadi ok, the issue is on a laptop? [20:11] Terabyte, it is not something i do daily, so i forget [20:11] good afternoon all. any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a HP dv2000 and I am unable to get my video card to work with the desktop effects. Can anyone help? [20:11] isocore: then it might be something else, I dunno. what is the exact error? [20:11] Koman: yeah [20:11] ader10 no I didn't download it [20:12] When I installed rxvt and rxvt-unicode, the man pages for them are empty [20:12] How can I fix this? [20:12] Hi folks. And Happy New Year! I recently tried to upgrade my edgy-installation (running in command-line mode) to feisty/gutsy. I entered sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and a lot of things happened. After reboot, though, my system tells me it's still edgy. Am I missing something? [20:12] Koman: Off for a bit, I'll be back in a bit. [20:12] cedmund, if you meant compiz or those 3d like stuff..you need a video card that supports 3D [20:12] wols: after the loading bar with ubuntu written over it ends, according to the screen resolution, it glitches, or start and then the monitor shuts [20:13] wols: yeah, reading up on dd now [20:13] wols: it could be that the monitor is too old ( is a 14 inches ) [20:13] ok rob, xchat is not jumping, I will look into fixing pidgin later. [20:13] ? [20:13] truna: I believe the video card can handle it. It is an Nvidia video card. Do you have any insight? [20:13] okeefenokee: What does synpatic/update manager have to say about it? [20:13] Vadi ok, then follow this link instruction: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405990 and use the online installer, the offline didn't worked for me. Try to connect the laptop to the internet through cable. [20:13] cedmund, nope not much insight, my mobo cant even support an 8x agp..so am stuck to 2d [20:13] purpzey: I run in command line mode, no GUI at all. [20:13] alex__: i'm sure you have hotmail and yahoo account too, yes? [20:14] he left [20:14] I will be here for a while as Konam, tell me if it works for you [20:14] okeefenokee: Do you have the upgraded kernel? [20:15] list [20:15] !list [20:15] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [20:15] okeefenokee: Also, I'd try the apt-upgrade again, see if it doesn't tell you your upgrades are current [20:15] truna: I guess I might be in the same boat. It really is not a big issue I was just wondering. I wish I had a site that would inform me how to install all the additional drivers that are needed for the HP DV2000. I have a built in camera i would like to get working [20:15] Trying to view the manpage for rxvt results in this: "Manual page rxvt(1) line ?/? (END)" [20:16] purpzey: Hmm...now, how do i check the kernel? [20:16] I tried looking into the /usr/share/man directory. A bunch of manpage are symlinks to rxvt-unicode, and rxvt-unicode only a few bytes worth of file. [20:16] purpzey: And I tried dist-upgrade again - was told that I'm all set [20:17] <__mikem> Does anyone know if I can run compiz in virtual box? [20:17] purpzey: But, lsb_release -a tells me that Edgy is my version [20:17] __mikem: no [20:17] so i've hosed my system COMPLETELY. is there any way to re-install gutsy without ruining my /home ? [20:17] are your home and root directories on different partitions [20:18] seth556: no [20:18] cedmund: go to System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager [20:18] then i don't think thee is a way [20:18] nemik then you're pretty much fucked === ktogias_ is now known as ktogias [20:18] seth556, You don't have to reformat to re-install [20:18] It will just overwrite the files, right/ [20:18] after copying a hand full of mp3s from a internal drive to my usb memory stick i get an error about to many open files and ubuntu complains it cant display files in different dirs when i try to browse to them... any ideas? [20:18] Konam: :/ that's what i thought. guess i'll have to back it up somehow them....this sucks [20:18] crdlb: when I enable this.... the system goes into a state where it does not let me get the full resolution of my video card [20:19] pyr3 AFAIK you always have to format the root partition [20:19] cedmund, the newer gutsy ubuntu has these as stock at install, you just have to make sure your hw has the 3d supportable video card [20:19] purpzey: Here we are: 2.6.7-12-386 [20:19] Konam, Ah. [20:19] Does anyone know of a tool I can use to burn a 4-hour WMA file onto 4 CDs (without first converting it to a 2.5 GB wav file, which I don't have the disk space for)? [20:19] okeefenokee: Kernel -- uname -r [20:19] Oh. [20:19] purpzey: Opps...: 2.6.17-12-386 [20:19] pyr3: yes, but some distros have a option to preserve the /home directory but I don't think ubuntu has that option [20:19] well, it'll give me a reason to encrypt FS then [20:20] cedmund, I also suggest making a copy of your original xorg.conf before fiddling with different settings [20:20] okeefenokee: That's certainly one of the most recent, if not the most, I am running feisty, and I don't have that current of a kernel [20:20] cedmund: you should be able to change your resolution [20:20] okeefenokee: Actually....wait. [20:20] nemik: can you boot live cd, then mount hard drive and a flash drive, and copy your home to the flash drive? [20:20] nemik, You can always use a LiveBoot to move the /home files off of the computer (external hard drive or something) [20:20] okeefenokee: 2.6.20-16-generic [20:20] cedmund: but you *must* use that driver to use compiz [20:21] purpzey: So, should I upgrade the kernel in order to be able to upgrade my distro? [20:21] whats a good music player, I don't like audacious and rhythembox is giving my troubl [20:21] crdlb is there a way i can enable that and then fix my screen resolution ? [20:21] okeefenokee: So if you have 20.6.17 you either failed to upgrade properly OR you are not booting into the recent kernel [20:21] pyr3: yea. well i mean i can boot to normal too. so i'll do it from there. X is just messed up up along with wireless [20:21] okeefenokee: Is it 2.6.17 or 2.6.20.17 ? [20:21] cedmund: nvidia-settings should be able to fix your resolution [20:21] PurpZeY, 2.6.17 ? That's not the most recent. It's 2.6.22-14 [20:22] pyr3: I know, I misread it at first. [20:22] and until comcast comes to wire me up, the neighbors' involuntary 802.11g kindness is all i have :/ [20:22] why do you want a newer kernel [20:22] purpzey: 2.6.17-12-386 is the exact output from uname -r [20:22] pyr3: I corrected myself. [20:22] unless you're going to configure it to suit your hardware [20:22] Err. sorry. I was lagging [20:22] crdlb: I will enable it and where do i go to fix nvidia-settings? [20:22] cedmund: run: gksu nvidia-settings [20:23] ahimaj: Heck, I'm ready to *downgrade* if it does the trick ;) I just wanna upgrade my distro === tyczek__ is now known as Tyczek [20:23] once you're using the new driver [20:23] okeefenokee: That means that you either 1) Have not upgraded properly or 2) Need to select the newer kernel from grub setup. If you just ran an upgrade you should have at least 2.6.2* [20:23] sudo apt-get aptitutde upgrade [20:23] ive got a problem with my ubuntu install. when i run synaptic package manager i enter my password but then synaptic doesnt run [20:23] sudo apt-get aptitude update [20:23] those two commands should do it [20:23] update first [20:23] then upgrade [20:23] ahimaj: He explain he ran those commands already, it seems something gone awry [20:23] need help with disk partition, I'm installing gutsy and have 2 hdd's /media/sda1 and /media/sdb1 both set as priority #1. How can I create one partion from both drives [20:24] ahimaj: Previous post (sorry for the spam) Hi folks. And Happy New Year! I recently tried to upgrade my edgy-installation (running in command-line mode) to feisty/gutsy. I entered sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and a lot of things happened. After reboot, though, my system tells me it's still edgy. Am I missing something? [20:24] if all else fails [20:24] install feisty [20:24] ahimaj: He is running complete CLI. [20:24] hmmm [20:24] gutsy is a bigger memory hog than feisty [20:24] <_mug> help please.. i want to install flashplugin-nonfree, but it doesnt work in firefox after installing it. [20:25] okeefenokee: Try running the upgrade command again see if you don't get a new package list. [20:25] true, but you can disable any programs you don't need [20:25] mug nope [20:25] crdlb, its asking me to restart now. I have enabled it [20:25] mug [20:25] purpzey: First rebooting, looking for a new kernel [20:25] _mug, theres a bug that causes the install to fail [20:25] go to youtube [20:25] try to watch a video [20:25] shouldn't work [20:25] _mug, install from the adobes site [20:25] it will give you a link to the firefox website [20:25] straight to the tar file you need to download [20:25] download it, navigate to it's directory [20:25] _mug, this worked for me http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P2_Platform=Linux&P3_Browser_Version=Netscape4 [20:25] follow the directions on the website [20:25] and install [20:26] the one from adobes site doesnt work either [20:26] purpzey: Yep, only 2.6.17-12-386 (and older) available) [20:26] !enter | ahimaj [20:26] the one from the firefox website works fine [20:26] ahimaj: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:26] okeefenokee: Yeah, you haven't upgraded somehow....Run the update command, make sure you have a recent package list [20:27] Hi guys, I can't install phpmyadmin [20:27] purpzey: OK, let's see! Thx for the support & patience [20:27] okeefenokee: No worries. I'd also verify my repos [20:27] Hey, I just tried to install Xubuntu 7.10 on my PS3 which has 2.10 firmware but I am getting some errors. Everything goes fine until when its installing the kernel. The kernel it's trying to install is called "linux-cell". The error message is this: "An error was returned while trying to install the kernel into the target system." Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix this? [20:27] the flash plugin is fooked and doesnt work [20:27] I install the package, choose to configure it for apache2 but localhost/phpmyadmin doesn't exist [20:27] Koman: We already trid that. [20:27] * PurpZeY wonders why someone would want *nix on a PS3 [20:27] my flash works [20:27] doesnt for me [20:28] okeefenokee: Somehow you are missing a step or some rather [20:28] PurpZeY: to develop apps for the cell [20:28] PurpZeY, then when you message you can use a keyboard [20:28] does anyone here know how to set up ekiga so that when you dial a phone number via pc and connect, it routes the call to your cell phone or home phone? [20:28] killux, choose reinstall base system, then it will give three options when installing the kernel, choose the last option [20:28] Hi. Not sure if this is Ubuntu related really so any tips on where to get help will be appreciated. I am using FileZilla on Fesity Fawn to FTP. Whenever I try to FTP Connect it just says 'Resolving IP-Address for MyDomain..' followed by 'Connecting to IPAddress:21' then it just times out? I have tried restoring factory defaults on my router and updating firmware but problem persists. I might add that up until this a [20:28] fternoon I was able to connect and I have not changed things since! [20:28] tbuss: thanks [20:28] <_mug> soldats: works, thanx [20:28] need help with disk partition, I'm installing gutsy and have 2 hdd's /media/sda1 and /media/sdb1 both set as priority #1. How can I create one partion from both drives [20:28] purpzey: update. upgrade and dist-upgrade all tell me I'm up to date. I'll check out the repos...though they've been alright [20:29] tbuss: will that kernel work with 2.10 firmware? [20:29] is there a tool to configure wacom tablets? e.g. to configure the touch strips/buttons ? === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [20:29] okeefenokee: It sounds like it must be the repos you are using....That is a bizarre one. [20:29] im trying to install ubuntu 7.10, but during installation (more precisely in the end ) it gives me this error: "Executing grub-install(hd0) failed" can anyone help me? [20:30] Gizmo_the_Great2: You have to break that down please [20:30] purpzey: Yeah, has me confused alright! [20:30] arbri: Sounds like grub (the bootloader) can't install itself on your partition table properly. === AddyK is now known as AddyK-L32 [20:30] okeefenokee: Have you checked the forums? [20:30] killux, it should, I updated to latest firmware before install, check the forums a psubuntu.com [20:30] PurpZeY, yeah - sorry - it's a bit waffly. I will keep looking because really it's more router related than Ubuntu related [20:30] Hello everybody, happy new year to all.. Is there anyone who had experience with nomachine? Applications that run on startup constantly fail when logging in... [20:30] tbuss: not really of any help those forums [20:31] purpzey: Not yet. I'm the impatient kind, come here first for direct response :) [20:31] PurpZeY, but so many knowledgable people here - thought someone would know or has experienced the same [20:31] killux, the problem you are having is addressed there, it is were I found a resolution [20:31] okeefenokee: I hear you, there are just a lot of upgrade issues there...I'll peep it for you [20:31] arbri, perhaps you have virus scanner turned on in the BIOS of your motherboard. This usually prevents the boot record from being modigfied. [20:31] Trun it off and try again. [20:31] what should i do? [20:32] i just loaded gutsy on my mac mini from the alternative 7.10 PPC CD-image [20:32] tbuss: when you were installing, did you use a wired connection? [20:32] LINUX SUCKS :P :P :P [20:32] and it freezes after "running local scripts"... where do i start? [20:32] <_akira_> hi guy happy new ear ubunteri [20:32] killux, not at first ;) [20:32] :) [20:32] how do I uninstall java [20:32] but you need one right? [20:32] you can uncheck the packets in synaptic [20:32] whisky_40: we dont like you then. [20:33] << killux, wireless is tricky, if you can install initially with wired I would recommend it [20:33] arbri, start your computer, get into the BIOS/Setup, look for Virus protection and turn it off, then install it again. [20:33] :) nobody ever likes me,DOS RULES =D [20:33] tbuss: OK [20:33] beos / unix/linux rules [20:33] enough dumb jokes...let's get on with it. [20:33] anyone know why I can't get network-admin to run even though I supply the root password? [20:34] okeefenokee: http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/03/upgrade-ubuntu-610-edgy-eft-to-ubuntu.html (Check out Method 2) [20:34] the trick with wireless---do a static connection--and make sure your router is configured correctly [20:34] whitehat: Is it returning an error? [20:34] don't use roaming connection option--gutsy has trouble with it [20:34] @ahimaj [20:35] <__mikem> Virtual Box running a live cd session out performs vmware running an installation. I think that is pretty good. [20:35] Happy New Year [20:35] arbri? did you get my last message? [20:35] PurpZeY: syslog says nothing. dialgo says "the configuration could not be loaded" "you are not allowed to access the system configuration [20:35] purpzey: Beautiful. I'm on it, thx. Same procedure for continuing from feisty to gutsy, I presume? [20:35] yes are you sure i should try that [20:35] lo there all [20:36] okeefenokee: One can assume...but don't quote me, I am still on feisty [20:36] I'm not sure it is the answer to your problem, but I am sure you should look into it and if it is on, I am almost sure that it is the source for your problem. [20:36] PurpZeY: I'm running xubuntu 7.10 [20:36] i am doing a server install because i want to build a desktop with fluxbox instead of gnome (ubuntu) or xfce(xubuntu) so what do i apt get to get the super xorg server with the auto hardware detect and everything [20:36] purpzey: Well, I just want to get better wlan-support, I'm having problems with edgy.

I have to change the settings to all application that use internet to use that computer like a proxy.

I really need some help... I have a "locked" folder on my desktop and it is from installing JAVA.... how do I get rid of it? [20:42] killux, give it some time, it hung for a while with me also [20:43] tbuss ok [20:43] Is it possible to configure a raid 1 between two identical partitions on two separate drives? [20:43] killux, did you choose to overwrite current files or keep existing [20:43] I think I install Java the wrong place [20:43] simion314, easy, make your pc acting as gateway router to do the following: port_forward, nat, act as dhcp server and enable the firewalling [20:43] Parsec300: what? that is exactly how a raid1 IS configured [20:43] what do you mean [20:43] tbuss ^ [20:43] Okay, I'm fighting with mapping mouse buttons. I want buttons 8 and 9 to be back/forward in browsers and such, and also have button 8 initiate scroll when held. Is there a way to do this only through xorg.conf? [20:43] truna: yes [20:44] truna: nvm. [20:44] is there a way to activate the screensaver? like, a keyboard shortcut? (or simply turn the entire screen black, like when you lock it but without having a password prompt) [20:44] ffm okay [20:44] truna: I forgot about /etc/rc2.d/ [20:44] <__mikem> Wow, the current version of ubuntu looks nicer than ever [20:44] It's trackball, hence needing to initate scrolling. [20:44] __mikem: It is getting nicer, isn't it? [20:44] killux, when reinstalling the base system it should have prompted you about files already installed, did you choose to keep or reinstall completely [20:44] <__mikem> yup [20:44] ffm, look into update-rc.d [20:44] keep [20:44] I mean having two partitions on the first drive (you start from the first partition) and store data on the second and have that RAID 1 with a second drive. [20:44] Can I have a bootable usb drive that i can write onto while running that OS as well for normal file storage use? [20:44] __mikem: It seems to run a lot smoother and more stable too. [20:44] tbuss: was that the wrong move? [20:45] truna: thanks [20:45] killux, did you choose to keep? [20:45] PurpZeY: ideas on this permission problem thingy w.r.t network-admin? [20:45] Parsec300: what? [20:45] tbuss: yes [20:45] RequinB4, sure, have multiple partitions on it [20:45] ffm you're welcome [20:45] whitehat: I am sorry, I lost you, just give me the issue again...=( [20:45] Anyone in here experienced with mapping mouse buttons? Google doesn't seem to have my answer. [20:46] killux, okay, when it gets to the part with the kernel you should be prompted with three choices, remember to choose the last option [20:46] Shpook: I believe you can do most of that in GUI in GNOME 2. If not, Xorg....but becareful [20:46] i already did all of that [20:46] right now its on installing the software not the base system [20:46] truna - ah, so i'd have to partition for a boot sector, a partition for regular use, and a partition so i can write to it? or can the last two be the same [20:46] hey guys, I'm having a problem recording audio from audacity [20:46] psusi, To have two partitions on drive 1. Your OS is on partition 1. On partition 2 the /home dir RAIDed to an identical partition on drive two, which contains only that /home partition for RAID purposes. Is that possible? [20:46] its hanging out like 6% its been like 10 minutes [20:46] after copying a hand full of mp3s from a internal drive to my usb memory stick i get an error about to many open files and ubuntu complains it cant display files in different dirs when i try to browse to them... any ideas? [20:46] I'm trying to record skype conversations [20:46] RequinB4, do not forget the partition for swap [20:46] hello everybody [20:47] PurpZeY: no problem. I can't seem to run any of the -admin progams even after I supply root pw. im thinking it's a dbus thing? [20:47] and everytime I try, I get an error saying it can't access the device [20:47] PurpZeY: Yeah, i've had to restore my xorg.conf quite a few times so far. Problem is, I'm trying to map a button to do one action when clicked, and another while held, and still cancel the first action onmouseup. [20:47] hey! its working! [20:47] killux, okay, give it some time, my install hung on 6% also. [20:47] yay [20:47] RequinB4, btw you dont really want a swap on a flash device like USB drive...it will significantly shorten the lifetime of your USB drive [20:47] Lapinux, try alt-f2 killall nautilus (that will restart the file browser, probably resetting that problem) [20:47] Parsec300: that is the definition of a raid1... two partitions on two drives, mirroring each other [20:47] truna - by how much? [20:48] nickrud: so you think its a nautilus issue? [20:48] hey [20:48] psusi, I know, but usually, the drives need to be identical and the partition table should also be identical, right? [20:48] can I not use dual monitor with nVidia 8500 GT graphic card on Ubuntu? [20:48] Lapinux, you're doing the browsing in nautilus, so it's the first thing to check. And yes, I've seen odd issues with nautilus over the years. [20:48] RequinB4, significant, can you imagine if you constantly do a swapping? USB drive have lifetime of 10k to 100k writes.. [20:48] nickrud: when it happened i logged out and back in gnome and it was good till i would copy more files over [20:49] Parsec300: i ddidnt find a virus scanner in the BIOS setup [20:49] Lapinux, so see if restarting nautilus isolates the issue further. [20:49] truna - point taken. thanks for the information [20:49] nickrud: ok, thanks [20:49] can anyone help me? I'm trying to record a skype conversation and audacity keeps telling me this: "Error while opening sound device. Please check the input device settings and the project sample rate." [20:49] arbri, stby [20:49] whitehat: Can't run anyone of them? [20:49] hi [20:49] brian it can be done [20:50] RequinB4, good luck [20:50] Parsec300: ?? [20:50] jdh6403, has anyone done it successfully? [20:50] i have a 8500 gt and have done it [20:50] Parsec300: no [20:50] jdh6403, awesome! can I ask few questions? [20:50] so obviously skype is reserving the device, is there any way to get it to share the device with audacity? [20:50] it isnt the same as using dual view in windows tho [20:50] sure pm me [20:50] jdh6403, I managed to install nVidia graphic card driver [20:50] how do I invoke Evolution wizard to add an account? [20:50] Parsec300: linux software raid operates on partitions... just the two partitions have to be the same size [20:50] PurpZeY: that is correct. will prompt for password then display error box indicating "not allowed to access system configuration" [20:50] i just want to install nvidia gelato and do "export GELATOHOME=/opt/nvidia/gelato" but after i close terminal it no takes effect. I use xubuntu. Where can i set these variables? [20:51] jdh6403, sorry ; i don't know how to pm here... how do i do it? and don't i need to have registered name? [20:51] scd_hu, thats how the shell works... [20:51] TuxOtaku: skype uses crappy coding and thus doesn't play well with dmix [20:51] wolf4914, edit->prefs-> mail accounts ->add button [20:51] whitehat: And you're positive it's not a caps issue or something like that? [20:51] scd_hu, that command needs to be in your .bashrc or .bash_profile [20:51] i just pmed u brian [20:51] keith-, is there any workarounds you can think of? [20:51] psusi, thanks. So, the drives do not even have to be identical? [20:51] scd_hu, exports get 'exported' to all child processes [20:51] TuxOtaku: i think there is a command to make a program execute under the esd daemon [20:51] arbri, look at this website: http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd [20:51] is there a keyboard shortcut to turn the screensaver on? [20:52] hmm ok [20:52] just paste the end of file? [20:52] nickrud How do I uninstall Java? It installed it on my desktop unfortunately [20:52] can someone fill in some blanks for me, i got apache working fine, im guesing i need to set a ftp server up, how do i make sure i secure it, ive install firestarter as iptables scared me [20:52] Parsec300: no, though if they differ in performance, the whole raid will be held up by the slower drive [20:52] jdh6403, could you come to channel help_brian ? [20:52] thnx [20:52] Task1, you used the java installer, told it to install there? [20:52] Where is the file where all of the answers to the installer questions are? [20:52] ill try [20:52] arbri, chek whether it is possible to download this through a Torrent or via usenet. It is very useful. You should try to fix the partition table with Partition Magic. If that fail, there are numerous other HD tools on there. [20:52] !iptables [20:52] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [20:52] nickrud I downloaded the Bin file.. and installed it... it ended up on my Desktop.. I donno how.. and its locked [20:53] I'm getting permission issues with Apache2 here; I've created a symlink from ~/folder to /var/www/folder, but I get bad permissions when I attempt to access it with http://localhost/folder. I've got another folder running in a similar way, except that works. Both the symlink and the target folder (and all subfolders/files are chmod'ed 755. Help? [20:53] TuxOtaku: esdplay or something [20:53] Parsec300: ok thnx ill give it a try [20:54] psusi, thanks. I'll see whether I can set it up. I gave away a computer running on Ubuntu, but the HD is not 100%. I have another identical drive that is also not 100%. I'd like to set up her /home folder as a RAID then. [20:54] Task1, dang, it's been a long time since I installed java using sun's installer ; you can remove it from your desktop with sudo rm ~/Desktop/ [20:54] menZa i did the same thing and the reason what i did it under root and not under my perms [20:54] Task1, erm, sudo rm -r ~/Desktop/ , nearly always for get to type that -r the first time [20:54] will that mess up the install... or maybe some other file telling where java should be located? [20:54] yoyo [20:54] annonymouse: created the symlink as root, or set permissions as root? [20:54] Hello,I am new to linux and I'm having a problem,if I try to open up the add/remove package manager, the synaptic package manager, or the update manager.they open but they close 2 secs later. [20:55] Task1: It might temporarily, but you will go back install it properly. . . [20:55] Dr_willis ty [20:55] i created the symlink as root [20:55] does anyone know how to get an external usb drive working that pretends its busy? [20:55] jdh6403, hello~ are you there? [20:55] then had to change it to me [20:55] MenZa, is your home on a different partition? [20:55] ok cool... [20:55] nickrud: Yes. I have a seperate /home partition. [20:55] brian i pmed u again [20:55] rich__: I have. . .But not too much experience...it just worked [20:55] jdh6403, sorry ; i don't know how to pm or reply to pm... [20:55] ok [20:55] I had set up a new install of ubuntu on my familys puter, and had created an account for my little bro, i had sort of set up my account upwith stuff he needed, so i figured that i would delete his account, and change my username and home directory. to his. This has now made it impossible to log in as it says the home folder has the wrong attributes. How can i fix this considering i cant log in as root? [20:55] jdh6403, i created a channel help_brian [20:55] jdh6403, so you could join that channel i guess? [20:56] i tried looking for that channel it locked xchat up [20:56] Newbie2007 - hi, welcome to ubuntu. Did this happen when you first install or have you done some editing yourself [20:56] jdh6403, could you create any random channel then? I'll join there [20:56] Its uninstalled... :) now i need to install java [20:56] !java [20:56] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) [20:56] chimp, recover with liveCD to set a root password [20:57] !meta | Brian` [20:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about meta - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:57] hmm [20:57] I have the root password, but ubuntu doesnt allow by default logins from root, how would that help truna? [20:57] I believe it happend after I uninstalled Rythmbox and installed Amarok music player [20:57] MenZa, what does !meta do? [20:57] yo...i have bit problem in gusty [20:57] if the root user has a password chimp you can login at the terminal. Not at the X screen [20:57] brian i joined help_brian [20:57] kk [20:57] i can't mount ntfs partition..only can root [20:57] talk to you there [20:57] :-( [20:58] Brian`: Nothing; I thought there was a factoid for that. You could use #ubuntu-meta. [20:58] chimp: if you boot from the livecd you can mount your root partition and as root from the livecd change the root passwd [20:58] chimp, alt-ctrl-f1 and log in there. [20:58] ahh great [20:58] can someone tell me, why does not feisty want to get installed on my computer *running live cd now* [20:58] chimp, press alt+ctrl+f1, log in as root, and chown -Rfv yourbrouser /home/yourbrouser [20:58] Now considering it says theres the "wrong attribute" for the home... [20:58] somewhere can help me ? [20:58] you answered me already [20:58] before i even asked :P [20:58] cheers [20:58] sure slitits whats up?

[21:00] elda: rmdir [21:00] rich__: hum [21:00] i must set all my application that uses internet to use as poxi 192.168.0.1 at port 808, i must set this in all aplications, can i set this in system and when this applications search the internet they will send the data(requets etc) to that computer?

[21:01] Flare183 ubuntu or kubuntu? [21:01] yeah so use mount -t ntfs /dev/bloodfire /media/bloodfire -f [21:02] is there some easy, avahi-related way to send a file to another computer on my LAN? [21:02] keith-: kubuntu [21:02] I know openoffice is open source [21:02] Flare183, set up the shortcuts [21:02] white_eagle: openofiice is open [21:02] but any other differences [21:02] I used the add/remove package manager,I checked Rythmbox to be removed,and Amarok to be installed [21:02] happy new year everyone :) [21:02] !scp | frandavid100 [21:02] hello, someone is willing to send me a kernel his x86 (not 64) for pctv200e (it's named pctv200e.ko it's under media/dvb/dvb-usb/ [21:02] frandavid100: SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [21:02] Flare183: sorry can't help. it's much simpler in ubuntu... umm you could use xbindkeys [21:02] frandavid100 what do you mean avahi?

[21:02] rich__: zero configuration [21:03] closed source [21:03] rich__: ever use this cmd for moutn ntfs ? [21:03] i'm still fighting these microsoft fonts that got installed with the mythtv package for gutsy... the package somehow changed something to make opera and firefox both use arial instead of bitstream vera and it looks really bad [21:03] brobostigon, any other differences? [21:03] slipttees_, add option noauto to your options for this partition in fstab [21:03] detect a PC on my LAN and allow me to send a file to it [21:03] When I install my Feisty 32-bit version [21:03] it won't work [21:03] if you use a ntfs disc with windows and then linux you have have to use the force option [21:03] keith-: why not? Can't we at least try it? [21:03] it have stayed for 5% [21:03] white_eagle: otherwise i think they are very similer [21:03] cabrioleur: but, only root can mount! [21:03] :( [21:03] Tamale, just set it in firefox preferences [21:04] nickrud: nothing changed in firefox preferences [21:04] Flare183: i don't have kubuntu running. so i don't know what to configure. give me a second and i'll see what i can find [21:04] just use a linux filesystem, however external discs dont work with linux, i have some and they say that they are 'busy' [21:04] heh, so my system wasn't fucked. i was booting into the wrong kernel :/ [21:04] slipttees_, add option user as well.

[21:04] keith-: ok i'll wait for now i'm going to look in the man pages [21:04] Hello, how do I mount an sftp site? [21:04] cabrioleur: us too don't work [21:04] nickrud: Correct. and sans serif is using arial instead of bitstream vera sans [21:05] Newbie2007 - try 'sudo synaptic' in a terminal (without quotes) [21:05] nickrud: And worse, in opera, it's not just fonts for pages, it's the fonts of the browser UI itself that changed [21:05] vahapt, I'm not sure, but I think you cannot 'mount' an sftp site. You can merely login via sftp to transfer files. [21:05] why is feisty installing stopping on 5%, "Creating ext3 file system for / in partition #1 of IDE1 mast... [21:05] Parsec300: sshfs [21:05] nickrud: It's as if there's a global setting for 'sans' that got re-mapped to arial [21:05] Tamale, you can see the preferences for sans-serif in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf , apparently it's set to prefer arial over bitstream.

[21:05] keith-: nevermind i got it [21:05] It did the same thing,opens then closes right away [21:06] wols, Good place to learn here! [21:06] nickrud: there's nothing in my fonts.conf about arial [21:06] Tamale, you can do some searching for information on fontconfig , you can fine tune the font prefs yourself by creating a ~/.fontconfig [21:06] keith-: all i had to do is edit the "Global Shortcuts" [21:06] Flare183: cool. [21:06] slipttees_, add your user to disk group. [21:06] nickrud: That's exactly where I am now, but I think I need some personal assistance [21:07] nickrud: I think I should work backwards.. find out what's in the mythtv package [21:07] but alread add in disk group :-( [21:07] keith-: thanks anyway [21:07] cabrioleur: ntfs3g already instaled [21:07] slipttees_, did you re-logged in already?

[21:09] you cant create a filesystem if its mounted. [21:09] and nothing :-( [21:09] its not mounted. [21:10] rich__: try opening the partioning tool from System -> Administration. What type of partition exists? [21:10] linux partition, i can create a FS in CentOs but not ubuntu, its the kernel that is the issue [21:10] i [21:10] PurpZeY: But I got this problem after rebooting...not hibernating. I just installed alsa 1.0.15 if that makes a difference [21:10] i cant find a patch or driver, so i cant use this disc. [21:10] rich__: what type of fs? [21:10] S: What is the problem exactly? [21:10] slipttees_, did you do chown -Rfv user:group /mntplace? [21:10] any filesystem [21:11] no one knows the HAL version that comes with Ubuntu? [21:11] nickrud: Did you get it?

[21:11] PurpZeY: ubuntu is loading the console instead of going into gui...this post explains my problem perfectly, but there was no resolution: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/108636-kinit-no-resume-image-doing-normal-boot.html [21:11] Tamale, no, are you registered with freenode (required for pm's) [21:11] ningen: Sounds like a partition problem, are you doing a fresh clean install? [21:11] rich__, if all else fails, try downloading hiren's bootcd. And do the partitioning with Partition Magic. Should work no problem. I've found a torrent already on isohunt. [21:11] s:what videcard? [21:11] mkfs.xfs: cannot open /dev/sdc1: Device or resource busy [21:11] does nouveau have a channel? [21:11] Be right back [21:11] S: Are you able to startx? [21:11] PurpZeY: yes [21:12] nickrud: Ahh, no I am not. Do you have aim or icq? [21:12] ningen: Are you installing off of a CD? [21:12] wols: nVidea geforece something....but that shouldn't matter because it worked fine before rebooting [21:12] I formatted it [21:12] Tamale, nope, I'm paleolithic [21:12] hehe [21:12] ok well lemme pastebin this then [21:12] ningen: You formatted it incorrectly somehow [21:12] PurpZeY: Sorry, im a linux newbie - what do you mean by startx? [21:12] Tamale, join #nickrud [21:12] rich__: try unplugging it and plugging it in again. If it's not mounted, no damage should be done. [21:12] I don't have much experience with apt-get,what should i try to download? [21:12] PurpZeY: if I formatted it wrong, how can I fix it? [21:13] S: The command startx will start your gui. It's a good way to tell if you are not getting booted into GNOME or there is some major problem with gnome [21:13] nickrud: http://pastebin.org/13759 [21:13] ningen: Are you doing automatic setup select all partitions? [21:13] S: what happens if you run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [21:13] S: Also, listen to wols, he knows a lot more than me (not being sarcastic) [21:14] PurpZeY: when I install it I choose the partition I want it on [21:14] and it stays on 5% [21:14] wols, it just run gdm. [21:14] PurpZeY: Hah, that seemed to do the trick - loaded fine with that. When loading, tho, I get an error while loading the GNOME-fastuserswitch applet, so I'll look into that [21:14] nickrud: i'm in there.. see my messages? [21:14] ningen: Are you booted to the CD? [21:14] wols: I have it loaded into gnome now...what would that do exactly? [21:14] S: ls -al /etc/rc.d/S99gdm [21:14] PurpZeY: yes, I am now on the cd [21:14] And trying to installi t from the cd [21:14] S: it would start the login manager wher oou enter your username and password [21:15] ningen: But you said you want to do clean install right? [21:15] wols: No such directory... [21:15] Newbie2007 - sorry for late reply, i'm multitasking. Um, what i wanted to see is if its just the graphic user interface that is the problem, not the back-end program. try 'sudo apt-get autoremove' [21:15] PurpZeY: I want to install feisty on my empty partition [21:15] what's the default torrent client ? [21:15] from my cd [21:15] wols: From the console, I could enter my credentials and I received a prompt - with startx I loaded into gnome [21:15] ningen: What format partition? [21:15] ningen: Do you have swap available as well? [21:16] Newbie2007 - that is safe - it'll just get rid of packages that are depricated, mostly likely you don' thave any [21:16] S: I know. but there is a nother way to run ubuntu [21:16] PurpZeY: I formated the partition, and what do you mean "swap"? [21:16] S: install gdm perhaps (if you run ubuntu). others if you run kubuntu ot xubuntu [21:16] ningen: How did you format it? [21:16] wols you idiot, i returned the disc and bought a new one and the problem is the same [21:16] ningen: do you know what a swapfile under windows is? pagefile.sys? [21:17] * wols puts rich__ on ignore [21:17] it said Reading package lists... Done Segmentation fault (core dumped) [21:17] PurpZeY: not sure... My friend did it, and he is dutch [21:17] I don't know how actually he did it [21:17] I could call him and ask [21:17] ningen: Sounds like he didn't do it properly. [21:17] anyone know how to merge .c00 .c01 .exe files pls, i think they can be extracted to one file [21:17] dont ask wols for help, he is inexperienced! [21:17] Eyemean: Are they compressed? [21:18] Eyemean: you use the proper unpack program. ace archives perhaps? [21:18] rich__: Susshh please. [21:18] how do I find out what xorg version I am running? [21:18] Task1: dpkg -l xserver-xorg for example [21:18] wols, yeah dats teh one i think its ace, is that avialble in ubuntu? [21:18] Eyemean: unace is [21:18] Eyemean: Search the repos, I believe it is [21:18] PurpZeY: he didn't format it [21:18] cheers wols and purpzey [21:18] properly [21:18] Eyemean: you probably wabt the nonfree version [21:18] ningen: There's your problem [21:18] !find ace [21:18] Found: apport-retrace, dnstracer, gstreamer0.10-plugins-base, gstreamer0.10-plugins-good, iputils-tracepath (and 130 others) [21:18] so how should I format it properly [21:19] yeah cheers wols [21:19] ningen: Is this going to be a dual boot machine or just Ubuntu? [21:19] PurpZeY: just Ubuntu [21:20] ningen: So when you run the installer just select "Automatic" and "All partitions" it will set itself up [21:20] wols yeah look slike non-free can extract any version, cheers [21:20] rich__, did you read my message? [21:20] HELP! i have a problem. i just installed K3b and when i started it it asked me to "Solution: To enable Mp3 support, please install the MAD Mp3 decoding library as well as the K3b MAD Mp3 decoder plugin " [21:20] how do i do that?

[21:23] Tamale, i have 6 dics on this table all the others are fine. [21:23] wubuntu: mint? [21:23] i have a full command of the linux operating system [21:23] hi all [21:23] * LjL scratches head [21:23] adrian__: make sure you have all available software selected and not just supported software [21:23] wubuntu, you can add the mint repos and isntall whatever minty stuff ya want.. which really.. isent that much thats worth messing with. :) [21:23] i need a driver for the caddy, just wondered where i could get one [21:23] rich__: then it's probably a disk problem, no? [21:23] LjL: Someone being a little testy about advice they were given. . . [21:23] wubuntu, how about the gOS, and geubuntu also! :) [21:23] I need to know if someone has (or knows how to configure) macosx pannel in ubuntu (or xubuntu that would be cool) [21:23] rich__: why do you need to tell people to shut up? [21:23] I did [21:23] no as i bought another disc yesterday, a seagate desktop and that says device busy too [21:24] rich__: Is it supported hardware? [21:24] rich__: you've got to be nice to the people trying to help you! [21:24] Tamale: from the decription he now gives it's probably a drievr for controller problem of the kernel. but hard to tell such things [21:24] is it possible to convert an uncompressed mpeg file to avi in a lossless fashion? [21:24] wols: yeah [21:24] illidan, you mean something like avant window navigator? [21:24] stephans: mpeg is never lossless [21:24] wols: nevertheless it's impossible to help someone who isn't listening for advice/help and instead just ranting [21:24] stephans: and avi is just a container [21:24] Dr_willis_: Thanx, I did that for a try with Geubuntu but I read that there could be problems with the mint-repos. is that so? [21:24] stephans: Not lostless, it's compressed....I'd use FFMPEG or MENCODER [21:25] kane77 Idk I don't know it but it may be ...I want something that seams like you choose icons just like macosx down panel [21:25] PurpZeY: Yes Mint! :-) [21:25] wubuntu, no idea on that. Ive not used mint since gutsy came out. Ive been having issues with the normal ubuntu repos today. [21:25] wubuntu: I have no idea what that is. . .Must be some idiocy on my part. [21:25] rich__, illidan awm [21:25] Newbie2007 - well, its an apt (synaptic is a front end for apt) problem. I'm not the best there, but try 'sudo apt-get install synaptic' anyway, just in case. After that, google the error messages you get [21:25] stephans, mpeg is compressed, but ffmpeg with -sameq can transcode it without quality loss... [21:25] illidan, awm [21:25] adrian__: search for restricted [21:25] awm? [21:25] mint linux = a ubuntu variant. with lots of extra packages and tweaks [21:25] Newbie2007 - google is your freind in tech support [21:26] kane77: that is untrue. you can't go from one lossy format to the other without quality losss [21:26] !mint [21:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about mint - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:26] PurpZeY:^^ [21:26] Dr_willis_: People need more tweaks than compiz-fusion built in. . .Gnome 2....ok, sure..; ) [21:26] illidan, the menu panel that looks like mac's. It's called avant windows navigator (awn) [21:26] !offtopic | Dr_willis PurpZeY [21:26] Dr_willis PurpZeY: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [21:26] OK gys.... so if I combine the .VOB files on my DVD that is DVD quality; can i take advantage of mpeg4 or h264 encodint to have the same quality and smaller file size? [21:26] illidan, yes awm has that... plus some more plugins... [21:26] I tend to disable eyecandy. :) [21:26] does rhythmbox handle flac files? [21:26] poningru i foun the ubuntu restricted extras, is that the correct app? [21:26] but the included extras and codecs are noce. [21:27] kane77: what is awm?

[21:27] macogw, yes [21:27] Does anyone knows if the 7.10 ubuntu-version includes the new kernel 2.6.36??? [21:27] AWN is like Kiba-dock, I believe.

And when will it be included? [21:28] wols, well what about lossless ones? [21:28] Looks like I'm gonna do some googleing,thanks alot for your help Requin,greatly appreciated [21:28] adrian__: thats weird I have kubuntu-restricted-extras in mine [21:28] kane77: what lossles video codecs are there? [21:28] Blu3pr1nt: it wont [21:28] probably a new thing for hardy [21:28] Blu3pr1nt: Feisty is still running the older kernel. [21:28] kane77 can I get it into an avi container compressed but without loss of quality? [21:28] stephans: Compressed == loss of quality [21:28] Blu3pr1nt, 2.4.36 is a release, not 2.6.36 [21:28] into divix oe Xvid? [21:29] stephans: you've already given suggestions what programs to use [21:29] PurpZeY: no there are lossless codecs out there [21:29] Blu3pr1nt: kernels do not get upgraded between releases. sometimes the same kernel is updated with bug/security fixes. the newest kernel is only 2.6.23 or .24 anyway [21:29] poningru: names? [21:29] dirac for one [21:29] Blu3pr1nt, ubuntu is following the 2.6 series. [21:29] sry yes i meant the 2.4.26.... [21:29] poningru: That might be, but once you compress it. . . [21:29] PurpZeY: uh... no [21:29] PurpZeY, compressed = Not always loss of quality. Look at PNG. [21:29] wols: take a look at dirac pro [21:29] <__mikem> Can someone please help me? [21:29] wols: though this thing is not yet final [21:29] * nixnoob^away is BACK === nixnoob^away is now known as nixnoob [21:29] __mikem: what?

[21:30] PurpZeY: should I use GParted [21:30] to format it again? [21:31] wols: dirac can do lossless, atleast that was one of the specs they were going for [21:31] kane77: fourcc is no codec [21:31] PurpZeY: no...no way...and I don't know what to do...:-( [21:31] <__mikem> I tried doing an dpkg-reconfigure which has worked in every other system I have used but now I have a messed up x session that is unusable [21:31] ningen: When you run the liveCD to install it should ask you about partitioning. But you can do it that way. [21:31] Blu3pr1nt: What card is it again? [21:32] __mikem: yeah, thats pretty normal on gutsy. i cant get dpkg-reconfigure to work either [21:32] ok found it :) [21:32] wols, afaik mpeg4 can be lossless...

[21:38] ningen: If you can't do it that way, you can do it using GParted, it's just easier that way.

[21:43] I fixed it (over the phone) with fsck [21:43] ningen: Are you sure it's hda1? [21:43] PurpZeY: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ mkfs.ext2 -j /dev/hda1 [21:43] mke2fs 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006) [21:43] /dev/hda1 is mounted; will not make a filesystem here! [21:43] I have my computer on all the time. Recently my friend has gone to Mexico and is out of contact except when she goes to internet cafe's. I use pidgin to have a buddy pounce that plays a song when she comes online. But Ubuntu seems to idle out and the buddy pounce initializes as she gets the sent message but no sound plays. How do I stop this? [21:43] ningen: What happens when you try to unmount it? [21:44] anyone got a link to download bcm43xx [21:44] Parsec300: and what did it say? [21:44] PurpZeY: > I just found out, that there is no package for debian...maybe thats the prob? [21:44] Kasuko, use windows its better [21:44] kolpDC: That's definitely all over the forum. [21:44] PurpZeY: if I unmount if via GParted it just scans the things... and that error is what it gives [21:44] PurpZeY: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi&n=downloads [21:44] ningen: Unmount it using terminal. [21:44] PurpZeY: how? [21:45] any help that doesnt involve me worshipping satan? [21:45] ningen: umount [21:45] wols, it said that the forced filesystem check failed and that she should try it manually. [21:45] PurpZeY: sudo umount /dev/hda1 ? [21:45] !ot | Kasuko [21:45] Kasuko: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [21:45] Kasuko, trust me, windows is the way forward [21:45] ningen: Should be IFFFFFF it is hda1 [21:45] After the fsck, it has been working flawelessly for almost a month now. [21:45] Parsec300: then do it? [21:46] PurpZeY: IFFFFFF ? [21:46] IdleOne, I dont understand [21:46] ningen: In other words, make sure you are looking at the right drive. [21:46] wols, I just would like to know if that could have been the problem in the first place -> not formatting during install. [21:46] Kasuko: stick to the issue and please dont embelish with religious or anti religious remarks [21:46] Blu3pr1nt: I hate to say it, but why not try ndiswrapper on this bad-boy? [21:46] PurpZeY: you think I should install it on hda2 instead [21:46] rich__: trust me its actually several steps back [21:46] lets all just use pen and paper, as linux and windows are etihs! either use OSX(bsd/unix) or Unix. [21:46] Kasuko: please consume my bandwidth http://webtechmedia.net/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso [21:46] ningen: It doesn't matter, but what i am saying is, just make sure you unmount the right thing. [21:46] rich__: it's better if you're bill gates...then you get money. it's not if you like stability [21:47] then debian wins [21:47] PurpZeY: IT WONT UNMOUNT [21:47] IdleOne, sorry just not fond of unhelpful replies [21:47] rich__: the !ot factoid applies to you also [21:47] PurpZeY: ok....I try to figure out how this works... [21:47] umount: /target: device is busy [21:47] SHOULD I KILL IT? [21:47] ningen: For the last time, what error does that command return from terminal? [21:47] Parsec300: what the fsck? depends if it was ever fsckäed after installation or if that automatic one was the first [21:47] ningen, at least kill your caps lock [21:47] !caps | ningen [21:47] ningen: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [21:47] PurpZeY: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo umount /dev/hda1 [21:47] umount: /target: device is busy [21:47] umount: /target: device is busy [21:47] that it was it gives [21:47] is anyone here [21:47] ningen: Did you close gparted? [21:48] when I write in the terminal [21:48] unix/linux/beos is miles more stable than m* windows [21:48] can somoene help me with my error [21:48] ok idleone if linux is so good why dont usb discs work [21:48] PurpZeY: no [21:48] ningen, then something is holding files/directories open in there [21:48] ningen: That might explain it [21:48] my ubuntu keeps on rebooting because of some apic error [21:48] !anyone | inktree [21:48] inktree: 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? [21:48] ningen, like a shell cd'ed into it [21:48] PurpZeY: now I closed gparted [21:48] There are a lot of trolls here lately. I'm begining to wonder why. [21:48] rich__: mine works fine. perhaps you arent mounting yours properly. I dont know what your issue is exactly [21:48] it still wont work [21:48] um.. help?! Tried to boot a computer with an ubuntu 6.06 live cd. Upon booting the kernel I get: ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC, Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work! Boot with apic=debug and send a report. Then try booting with the noapic option [21:48] ningen: Close gparted, close any other terminals. the only thing open should be that teriminal [21:48] My ubuntu keeps on rebooting because of some apic error. "APIC #3 ID: failed", etc... i tried appending "noapic and nolapic" [21:48] rich__, I use OSX right now! And if you just use Unix (not the OSX one) then you'd be still having the same problem. And on my Apple laptop, Ubuntu is running just fine. Also with several USB drives. [21:49] i'm also using 64-bit ubuntu [21:49] wols, yes, it was the first time it was checked. [21:49] inckuding WD passport and Seagate desktop? [21:49] Svish, you have funny or too new hardware. Try ubuntu 7.10 [21:49] PurpZeY: only things open = #ubuntu and the terminal [21:49] ningen: Now run that command [21:49] not work [21:49] funny thing is my CentOS5 live CD works and its year old. [21:49] ningen, lsof | grep /target [21:49] but 7.10 doesnt [21:50] i have a seagate, and it works beautifully on my ubuntu/powerpc [21:50] Seveas: hoping for too new then... lol [21:50] gutsy [21:50] rich__, I have a Samsung drive in my external casing, but I've had friends USB drives connected to it no problem. [21:50] ningen: lsof | grep /hda1 [21:50] <<< rich__, that's funny indeed since CO5 isn't a year old yet [21:50] Seveas: lsof: WARNING: can't stat() tmpfs file system /cow [21:50] Output information may be incomplete. [21:50] PurpZeY: lsof: WARNING: can't stat() tmpfs file system /cow [21:50] Output information may be incomplete. [21:50] device busy or in use [21:50] !paste > ningen [21:50] when it isnt in use or busy [21:51] rich_: that means something is using it. [21:51] how do i tell that then? [21:51] fuser perhaps or maybe mount [21:51] lol [21:51] ningen: Unless Seveas has another thought what I'd recommend is, a clean reboot, go straight to ubuntu install, partition using the install, do not start IRC, do not open a terminal etc [21:51] I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 64-bit on my Gigabyte P35-DS3L and a Q6600. My computer continuously reboots and I believe it has something to do with APIC... "APIC #3 ID: failed, etc"... I've tried appending "noapic" and "nolapic" to the boot sequence command but the error still persists... Can anyone help? Thanks [21:51] ok [21:51] rich_: when it says device busy when you umount, that means a prog is still using it. [21:52] PurpZeY, well, I didn't follow the entire conversation. Your idea sounds good though :) [21:52] Seveas: He wants to reformat and reinstall, something tying up his partitions [21:52] ok brob i agree, so how do i check this? [21:52] coming back with this nick if I don't get it working [21:52] Thanks [21:52] Yup, no worries, [21:53] rich_: with the messages umount returens when you try to umount [21:53] its not mounted [21:53] its not mounted and its not in use [21:53] Seveas: I suspect he was running all sorts of who knows what off of his LiveCD and this touched his partition...so he couldn't unmount [21:53] im running ubuntu direct [21:54] i used centos via VMware and i can create a FS that way [21:54] rich_: whats ubuntu direct?? [21:54] hence, the klernel doesnt support that disc caddie, [21:55] i have a table full of discs, its these caddies, but nowhere on the net has any info on how to get them to work [21:55] Perhaps it is an idea for someone to ssh into rich's machine and take a look. [21:55] Does anyone know of a web page design application that works in Ubuntu and on a Mac (X11), like Gimp does for image editing. [21:55] I like having similar interfaces on both my platforms [21:55] Fezzler, bluefish [21:55] or nvu [21:56] rich__: I asked earlier and will again, is this supported hardware? [21:56] Seveas: Have you used either and can you recommend one? [21:56] !kompozer | Fezzler [21:56] Fezzler: kompozer is WYSIWYG HTML editor for easily creating web pages, and the continuation of the dead Nvu project. It is available in !Universe on !Gutsy, !Backports on !Feisty, and from « deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tonyyarusso/ubuntu edgy universe » for Edgy. (Dapper still pending) [21:56] does ubuntu have boot loader, where i can chouse witch OS i wanna boot ? [21:56] like freebsd? [21:56] Fezzler, my editor of choice is vim. Also works on both platforms :) [21:56] !grub | Faca [21:56] Faca: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [21:56] tnx [21:57] Seveas: Is VIM WYSIWYG? My daughter wants to use too and I want to not have her deal with Html too much. [21:58] Fezzler, the fact that you need to ask that question implies that you should try to avoid vim like the plague [21:58] it's not wysiwyg, it has a rather steep learning curve and is mainly for terminal addicts like myself :) [21:58] Purpzey, how do i determine if it is supported hardware? [21:59] !hardware | rich__ [21:59] rich__: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [22:00] Seveas: Bluefish wysiwyg? [22:00] I have my computer on all the time. Recently my friend has gone to Mexico and is out of contact except when she goes to internet cafe's. I use pidgin to have a buddy pounce that plays a song when she comes online. But Ubuntu seems to idle out and the buddy pounce initializes as she gets the sent message but no sound plays. How do I stop this? [22:00] Fezzler: yes [22:00] What terminal command to I use to see who is logged into my system? [22:00] who [22:00] Fezzler, w or who [22:01] Would that show intruders? [22:01] can someone help me with my fonts config problem? [22:01] Hello may I ask a question about configuring permissions on a secondary reformatted drive? [22:01] Fezzler, only if they didn't become root and manipulated the system [22:01] Fezzler: probably not but it might [22:01] where are the external discs located? [22:02] rich__: Check my device interface [22:02] The disks are internal [22:02] by* [22:02] Tradbiner: ask away [22:02] hello, I have an annoying sound issue: when I stay logged in for a long enough time, my sound stops working.... for example, mplayer gives [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm_hw.c:1242:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: Device or resource busy [22:02] (among tons of others for ESD, OSS, etc. -- all failing) [22:02] I'm new to ubuntu, I reformatted a b drive into two partitions using ext3 file format [22:02] lsof /dev/snd/* gives nothing useful [22:02] can someone help me with my fonts config problem? I can't get firefox and opera to use bitstream vera sans instead of arial [22:02] How can I tell if someone else is on at root? Would I be logged as both tty and pts? Is that normal? [22:02] Fezzler, amaya is WYSIWYG, don't know if it's any good though [22:02] I can see them but they don't automount and I can't read/write to them [22:03] Fezzler: yes that is normal [22:03] Anyone with experience with amaya? [22:03] my device interface? [22:03] In Konqueror when I click on properties/share and click on configure file sharing, it asks for my password but after I enter that, nothing happens. I've never had a problem setting up shares in Gnome so how do I do it with KDE? [22:03] It appears I need to give the users permission but can't figure it out, any hep is appreciated. [22:04] Thanks. So for web page design that works with Ubuntu and X11 (Mac) I can check out vim, komposer, bluefish and amaya. [22:04] Anyone care to weigh in on komposer vs bluefish? [22:04] Fezzler, drop vim from that list please if you want to stay sane [22:04] how come I have flashplugin installed browsers do not recognize it? [22:05] it's not fun to learn :) [22:05] Fezzler, don't forget screem as well (and there's always emacs :) [22:05] Fezzler: and kompozer [22:05] I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 64-bit on my Gigabyte P35-DS3L and a Q6600. My computer continuously reboots and I believe it has something to do with APIC... "APIC #3 ID: failed, etc"... I've tried appending "noapic" and "nolapic" to the boot sequence command but the error still persists... Can anyone help? Thanks [22:05] kompozer works on OSX? [22:05] How about Eclipse? Didnt I see some plugins for Ajax and php? [22:05] Parsec300: hmmm dont know. google it might [22:06] <|Torg|> can someone point me tward displaying a console on an HDTV, specfily mine overscanning and cuts off the first few columns of the console [22:06] WorkingOnWise, yes, very much so. My tool of choice, but it's big [22:06] Parsec300: Yes it des [22:07] Is there a way to get rid of the Ubuntu splash screen when your system boots up so you can see the active kernel messages of the bootup ? [22:07] nickrud: choice for web development? [22:07] EgonStork, ya i think it's in grub/menu.lst [22:07] EgonStork: turn off quiet I think [22:07] EgonStork, like somethingon the kernel command line [22:07] ya thats it [22:07] hello, I have an annoying sound issue: when I stay logged in for a long enough time, my sound stops working.... for example, mplayer gives [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm_hw.c:1242:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: Device or resource busy [22:07] EgonStork, yes, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst , and remove splash from the kernel lines. If you want it permanent (ie, when a new kernel is added) look for #defopts and remove it there as well [22:08] EgonStork, if you want everything, remove quiet as well [22:08] nickrud: how good is it for c++ and rubp and python for a n00b? [22:08] Purpzey, where is the hard disc section? [22:08] Checking out KompoZer. Slick [22:08] nickcrud ok, thank you [22:08] nickrud: ruby.. [22:08] any ideas, guys? [22:08] WorkingOnWise: I don't much care for it in C++, never touched python, I prefer netbeans for ruby (if I am using a full ide) [22:08] WorkingOnWise, yes, I only do lite php, html and css, but it works well with a few plugins. Have no intention of learning ruby, so .... [22:09] hahafaha - device or resource busy - LOL, i have that with my hard disc, its pony, use winxop [22:09] WorkingOnWise: I would def recommend python for anyone [22:09] would anyone be kind enough to point my in the direction of helping a newbie figure out how to change permissions on a b drive formatted ext3 to users? All help is appreciate [22:09] nickrud: ruby's nice, especially if you do web programming. HTML is said to be the "best GUI choice" for ruby apps [22:09] WorkingOnWise: look into django [22:09] does anyone know how to sync tags to the files on the harddrive with amarok. I remember it only stores the tags in the database [22:09] WorkingOnWise I recommend python too -- all hackers should know python, perl, C/C++, java and lisp [22:10] WorkingOnWise haha [22:10] EgonStork: except for java [22:10] Eclipse "seems" to be the best compimise for the 3, if you want one tool for all 3. [22:10] java-- [22:10] python has pcre? [22:10] Bluefish doesn't look wysiwig [22:10] Tradbiner? what do you want to do? [22:10] norv, maybe some day, but I'm staying as free of programming as possible [22:11] Thnx Rich, I've reformatted the drive, it doesn't auto-mount and and I can't read/write to it though I can see it [22:11] nickrud: I just like the handyness of not running apache on my minimal boxes [22:11] WorkingOnWise: just use vim [22:11] what is the FS? EXT3? [22:11] ext3 [22:11] can you mount it? [22:11] yes [22:11] if I click on it [22:11] nickrud: not worth learning if php does all you need [22:11] what do you want to do to it? [22:11] poningru why because java is used mostly for in house enterprise apps now and not so much on embedded systems and web development anymore ? [22:11] read/write [22:12] EgonStork: because Java is verbose as heck [22:12] norv, just about all I do involves drupal at the moment, so I'm kinda locked into php for now ;) [22:12] I want to store music on one partition and photos on the other [22:12] EgonStork: its not a true OO language [22:12] like python or ruby [22:12] Amaya looks cool. Can't tell from screen shots if it is wysiwyg [22:12] who do you want to be able to access it? [22:12] ruby doesn't have multiple inheritance but it can be quickly extended to support it [22:12] all my users [22:13] There are things I really miss from Windows, and rather that stay there, I'l learn to build the tools I want here in Linux....like I did back in the early DOS days... [22:13] by some sort of "composer" method which makes a composit of classes [22:13] Fezzler, http://www.w3.org/Amaya/ [22:14] so you can cd to the mounted directory and use chmod 777 to give access to all [22:14] that will allow access to anyone [22:14] chmod -r 777 [22:14] I don't know how to chmod [22:14] How do the numbers work with chmod anyway [22:14] open a terminal and type 'sudo chmod -r 777' [22:15] Parsec300: root, group, user [22:15] lol, norv, he knows hes just being a weapon [22:15] Yeah, but how does it work with 7? Is there a number in between? [22:15] Parsec300: 1 exec, 2 read, 4 write, I believe [22:15] I trying to make InfraRed to work but I have stucked here: [22:15] says no such file or dr [22:15] # synce-serial-start [22:15] Warning! [22:15] synce-serial-start cannot find the dccm process. [22:15] Without dccm your PPP connection will soon terminate! [22:15] Tradbiner, be sure you are in the right directory before doing that chmod -r 777 though [22:15] Parsec300: add the numbers together, so 7 is read, write, and exec [22:16] Ok, so there is no 3 then? [22:16] nuckrud: Well, I guess it is. Just comparing screen shot (not very scientific), kompoZer looks more user friendly [22:16] How can I solve the current flash issue with firefox? [22:16] from what i've read, xserver-xorg doesn't support the mac ATI Radeon off the ISO. [22:16] apparently not in the right dir [22:16] Fezzler, I'm looking at amaya for the first time in a few years, it looks much more user friendly than before [22:16] sourcemaker: You can visit Adobe's site and download the flash9 installer in tar.gz [22:17] d90: you have to load dccm [22:17] is there any way to boot into terminal (ctrl+alt+f1) and download the xorg from cvs? [22:17] loudnlownoma: ok... [22:17] sourcemaker: You're just having a problem getting flash installed from the repo's, right? [22:17] nickrud: For a basic page, probably can't go wrong with either. I wonder if they have ftp built in? [22:18] that partitions show ask disk and disk-1 in the system tab but I don't see them [22:18] Parsec300: oh sheesh, 2 is write, and 4 is read [22:18] loudnlownoma: i'm also having the same problem, so even if he stops responding i need help too :p [22:18] nickrud: you know, deliver pages and files to server [22:18] loudnlownoma: no... my firefox is crashing sometimes with a seg fault... [22:18] Parsec300: so 3 would be write-exec.. kinda silly [22:18] when I type dir in terminal [22:18] hi there i'm new to irc altogether, can anyone suggest a good wysiwyg lite-dreamweaver type prog for gnome? [22:18] sourcemaker: Ahhh, sorry. Didn't see that part... Had seen a couple others asking about installing it I thought. [22:19] hi if i just have a windows game fully extracted how can i run it in gutsy? [22:19] fallore_: The problem with it crashing, or just getting flash installed? [22:19] Eyemean: umm you probably can't... but you can try wine or cedega [22:19] loudnlownoma: the latter [22:19] Eyemean: depends on the game... [22:19] loudnlownoma: I debugged firefox... and there seems to be a problem regarding the libflashplayer.so [22:19] norv, I meant, there is no 3 defined to enable the addition of 1 + 2 [22:19] nickrud: screem looks cool, not wysiwyg but does have page preview [22:19] Eyemean: install wine, then go to the game directory, type wine nameofgame.exe [22:20] loudnlownoma: but i can't reproduces the problem... [22:20] frostrat, virtual cop2, just trying simple things at the moment, [22:20] fallore_: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash [22:20] Everyone thanks for the help. Later, going to sleep. [22:20] ok frostrat [22:20] Parsec300: you add them yourself, it's something called bit flags. using gui is probably easier [22:20] brb [22:20] ok thanks [22:20] fallore_: Download the tar.gz and extract/run the installer. Works like a charm - just did it myself this morning. :) [22:20] not sure if i should ask here..but if i were to run ubuntu on vmware [22:21] sourcemaker: I see. Unfortunately, that one might be a bit over my head.... :( Sorry. [22:21] which version to dl?server or workstation [22:21] wow this is messy [22:21] Parsec300: 1 = x, 2 = w, 3 = xw, 4 = r, 5 = rx, 6 = rw, 7 = rwx.. that's it [22:21] sourcemaker: Did it work before, or did it only start happening after you installed Flash? [22:22] loudnlownoma: just run the "flashplayer-installer" that is in the .tar.gz ? [22:22] eh, i have a mac mini that won't start x because of the vid card (radeon 9200) [22:22] fallore_: Aye. Extract the tar.gz, then run the installer, make sure it has the install path right, and let it go [22:22] juan: that card should work very well [22:22] can anyone help me downgrade my kernel to 2.6.22-12. The most recent version that gutsy uses is telling me that my bios cylinder does not support it. Error 18, if that means anything to you guys. [22:22] juan: did you try to use the fglrx binary driver? that won't work. [22:22] loudnlownoma: any reason to run it in terminal, or should i just run it? [22:23] juan: you have to use the open source radeon driver === Skiessl_ is now known as Skiessi [22:23] Wrec: If you have the old kernels you should be able to just select one from your grub menu [22:23] rich, thanks for the help still lost but at least I know what to do ty [22:23] fallore_: you can see errors if in terminal [22:23] macogw: when i ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org, i told it ATI [22:23] should i choose something else in the configuration? [22:23] PurpZey: I can, but this version has many errors that I can't live with. Usb support being one. [22:23] fallore_: I ran it from terminal, just cuz the instructions said to... Should just be " ./flashplayer-installer " [22:23] juan: does it have a radeon option? [22:23] Wrec: So just grab the grub menu while you are booting up and select an older kernel [22:24] didn't see that [22:24] has anyone had any success getting urban terror installed? [22:24] frostrat i get Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0". [22:24] , i think its because im running xgl [22:24] let me check again [22:24] kyleBAKED: I have, but I heard there was an upgrade [22:24] PurpZeY: I can't use this kernel (the older one). It's too old with too many errors. I need to install 2.6.22-12 [22:24] fallore_: but macogw makes a good point, even it can run outside of a terminal, you will at least get any errors or breaks that way, rather than it just quitting [22:24] kyleBAKED: yes, a local install [22:24] it detects radeon when i check /var/log/Xorg.0.log [22:24] fallore_: you hae to answer questions in the terminal anyway [22:24] and dies on "no valid modes" [22:25] "no screens found" [22:25] kyleBAKED: I didn't compile urban terror though, just got the binary [22:25] how do I downgrade my kernel [22:25] Wrec: I am not well versed enough to help you out with a full on kernel down-grade, but I have to imagine there are forums and wiki === thomas_ is now known as l234 [22:25] kyleBAKED: Me too, I played it using Wine [22:25] loudnlownoma: i double clicked it, clicked run, and nothing happened. now i'm going to double click it and hit "run in terminal" [22:25] norv, PurpZeY, i keep getting an error that glxinfo cannot be found, but it is on my system, i can check by doing which glxinfo [22:25] yeah, I'm trying those as well [22:25] also says it can't detect DVI or VGA connection. I am using a DVI-VGA connector, but that should be fine [22:25] norv, PurpZeY, i'm using the install script from the forums [22:25] kyleBAKED: hmm, strange [22:25] kyleBAKED: Are you trying to use the *nix version or the windows? [22:25] kyleBAKED: do glxinfo | grep direct [22:25] PurpZeY, nix [22:25] fallore_: If that way doesn't work, then just open a terminal window and run that command I gave before. That should do it. [22:26] loudnlownoma: success so far, time to rest it out [22:26] kyleBAKED: Personally speaking, I found it much easier to use the Binary and Wine [22:26] installing oracle-xe from this tutorial im not seeing any file in /etc/init.d/ directory to run the configure? http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/install/xe-on-kubuntu.html [22:26] norv direct rendering: yes [22:26] PurpZeY: I've never had to do that with urban terror or any other game [22:26] fallore_: Sweet! [22:26] how do i find out what version of a package is installed? [22:26] Fezzler: thx I forgot it :D [22:26] norv: I am not saying I had to do it, it was just easier. [22:26] PurpZeY: that's classic excuse and the only way it works is because it uses opengl [22:26] moment of truth [22:26] nbugs: dpkg -l [22:26] nbugs, dpkg -l | grep should show you [22:26] :) [22:27] nbugs: dpkg -l even [22:27] kyleBAKED: odd, can you pastebin the error? [22:27] norv: Excuses are great. Less work == better. [22:27] SUCCESS! [22:27] loudnlownoma: thanks a ton! [22:27] norv, i am looking at the install script and its glxinfo_bin=`which glxinfo`, but even if i replace that with the direct path, i get the same error [22:27] pramz: no need to | grep. just "dpkg -l libgnomeui-2" or whatever [22:27] Laney: pramz: thanks [22:27] fallore_: Congrats! You're very welcome, glad I could help :) [22:27] norv, yeah hold on [22:27] kyleBAKED: oh I've never used the install script [22:28] macogw: should i use VGA and then update xserver-xorg once i get into desktop? [22:28] kyleBAKED: I just copied over into /usr/local/games/ and symlinked to /usr/local/bin [22:28] i'm baaaaaaacccckkkk :) [22:28] juan: i dont know. i got it working by editing xorg.conf when i was fighting suse [22:28] norv, ill just try doing it that way [22:28] hmmm [22:28] kyleBAKED: I say for the last time to save anyone else...I just ran it using wine it works perfectly. [22:28] what ver of xorg was that? [22:28] juan: i dont know [22:28] juan: it was in spring.... [22:28] i have another question. is there a way to make the mouse 3 scroll wheel thing work in firefox on linux? i'm running gutsy [22:29] PurpZeY, i'd rather have it run native though, if i can't get it working ill use wine [22:29] kyleBAKED: just try to run not install [22:29] * PurpZeY shrugs and chooses the path of least resistance through his cigarettes [22:30] * brobostigon could go with a smoke too [22:30] norv, its a .sh file [22:30] it took a crap immediately with VGA [22:30] does ubuntu server come with a DE? [22:30] this sucks :( [22:30] how do you install the kernel "2.6.22-12" [22:30] kyleBAKED: doesn't run? [22:30] loudnlownoma: the problem occurred since the last firefox update [22:30] might try installing 7.4 [22:30] norv, i think its just a script that will install the update with it or something, i'm just going to get it directly from the website though [22:30] aswear the default install does not, but that does not stop you from installing one [22:30] kyleBAKED: Sorry, I know I'm late....What program are you trying to install? [22:30] loudnlownoma: I haven't used the install script [22:30] kyleBAKED: try to -RUN- first, not install [22:31] loudnlownoma, im trying to install urban terror using the install script from the forums [22:31] I have two partitions. My swap and my ext3. I have a 500gb HD and I'd like about 200gb to be able to e used by windows. Now, these two paritions take up the whole HD disk, so how do I create a partition within the large ext3? [22:31] hi, I need help. after my PC is booted I need to /etc/init.d/networking restart before my network comes to life, and after awhile my network crashes along with alot of apps. Can anyone help me? [22:31] no in fact you can but only on streets and home [22:31] i have another question. is there a way to make the mouse 3 scroll wheel thing work in firefox on linux? i'm running gutsy [22:31] norv, its a bash script [22:31] sourcemaker: Hmmm.... Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling flash, just to see if that changes anything? [22:31] does microsoft word open an odt file? [22:32] why can't I import video files that aren't in dv format into kino? Shouldn't I be able to edit .avi files? [22:32] fallore_: mine works by default [22:32] ok [22:32] kyleBAKED: yeah, meant try running the binary from the binary packages [22:32] Will microsoft word open and correctly render an .odt file? [22:32] you're lucky juan :-p [22:32] loudnlownoma: No... but i will try now... :-) [22:32] fallore_: but the click in doesn't [22:32] any tips on how to install one [22:32] emma, props not. [22:32] juan: thats what i mean [22:32] I have a big question [22:32] norv, im downloading them now [22:32] i need to setup dhcp too [22:32] kyleBAKED: Ahhhh. Sorry, no experience with that one yet [22:32] props? [22:32] emma: no, by definition [22:32] hehe [22:32] what should I do>? [22:32] wat's the apt or dpkg package? [22:32] emma, "propperbly" :) [22:32] I launched my Ubuntu box a year ago (2007 resolution - learn what this Linux stuff is all about) with an old Goodwill computer (Gateway 1200CS-AMD Anthlon). The main HD0 is only 6 gig and noisy. Box is fine speed wise, can I get a new HD and copy the boot 6 gig HD to the new drive preserving all my settings? [22:33] should I save it as a windows 97/XP doc? [22:33] emma: you have to save as a .doc or somesuch in a modern word processor [22:33] emma, Open Office can save as .doc for [22:33] sourcemaker: Probably wouldn't hurt to try. Just as a starting step. Just remember that the flash plugin in the repo's is bugged right now, so you will need to reinstall from the package on adobe's website [22:33] ok when I need to transfer my files from Windows to a FTP server, how do I do it [22:33] crap. [22:33] I'm trying to make a document that I can put on my website and then people can open it and print it. [22:33] Ryuki, thers dozens of ftp clients for windows. You may want to use ssh and winscp however. that way you dont need a ftp server at all. [22:33] Hello, I kind of messed up my linux RAID setup - 3 disks, physicly all are present, however mdadm can only see one. Can anyone help me? [22:33] emma: pdf [22:33] emma: could just make it an html [22:34] <|_James_Bond_|> HI PPL [22:34] emma: or pdf, that works.. openoffice saves that [22:34] Dr, well how do I transfer it? [22:34] hi, I need help. after my PC is booted I need to /etc/init.d/networking restart before my network comes to life, and after awhile my network crashes along with alot of apps. Can anyone help me? [22:34] Hm. Okay. === nuu is now known as nu[year] === nu[year] is now known as nuu [22:36] hi, I need help. after my PC is booted I need to /etc/init.d/networking restart before my network comes to life, and after awhile my network crashes along with alot of apps. Can anyone help me? [22:37] loudnlownoma: apt is working now [22:37] iKoen: no idea, why it happens, but i have to do that on my desktop too. [22:37] sourcemaker: you will see the package for it there, and it will appear to download and install right, but it won't [22:38] iKoen, do you have a wireless? describe your network layout [22:38] does anybody knows i want to play some action games on ubuntu ? [22:38] loudnlownoma: wow... is gnash working? [22:38] no [22:38] truna: Wireless idd, rt2x00pci, wlan0 and wmaster0 with same mac address. [22:39] tifine: what game are you trying to run? [22:39] ikoen: netgear by chance [22:39] sourcemaker: I dunno. I just grabbed the installer from Adobe's site and it works like a charm now, so I was happy. [22:39] no [22:39] kernel says: Jan 1 23:24:12 aoi kernel: [ 251.412095] wlan0: duplicate address detected! [22:39] norv: i have exe files but i want to know if i can get some games on ubuntu and from where ? [22:39] well mine is a netgear [22:39] sourcemaker: You can get that at http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash [22:39] hello [22:40] what is lighter? XFCE or Fluxbox? and how buggy are those? [22:40] !wine | tifine [22:40] tifine: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [22:40] tifine exe files are usually only for windows [22:40] i know this isn't exactly ubuntu but do any of you happen to know how I can type a URL in openoffice without it being formated as a link? I just want to type the url and have it treat it like ordinary text [22:40] iKoen, pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file contents [22:40] XxValetexX, flixbox is lighter.. and ive seen no major bugs in any of them. [22:40] XxValetexX, jwm is proberly lighter still. === Section31 is now known as AdmiralNDP [22:40] Dr_willis oh thanks :D [22:40] XxValetexX, of course fluxbox and jwm both have less features then xfce [22:41] hey, i need help with farmerjoe (http://blender.formworks.co.nz/index.pl?p=1) , i tryed to get this working a loong time... [22:41] http://koen.it/ifconfig http://koen.it/interfaces [22:41] sourcemaker: Also, there's a little more info on the forums - here's one post I just saw a minute ago: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=655270 [22:41] ive got one Mac and one Ubuntu computer. the Mac(192.168.2.104) should be the master. there is a folder (NFS share) where both computers can read write and execute (777). both are connectet to this share. [22:41] xfce is not really a light DE [22:41] !grub [22:41] when i start the server on the mac, i get "Starting Farmerjoe Master on port 2006 [22:41] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [22:41] Now Accepting Connections". when i start the client, i get this: # Welcome 9 [22:41] Can't Connect to 192.168.2.104 at Port 2006 [22:41] Will try to reconnect in 30 seconds" [22:41] norv: shadylookin: thats why i want to know from where i can get action game on ubuntu ? [22:41] in the same moment the sever stops: "Illegal instruction" [22:41] anyone an idea what is wrong there? here is the config: http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/26217/ [22:41] enlightenment is quite light. [22:41] brobostigon, given its history.. that scary to call it light now a days. :) [22:42] i rember when enlightenment was the BIG boy. :) [22:42] dr_willis: in my experience compared to kde/gnome , its light [22:42] tifine: you can attempt to run Windows games with ubuntu. then you can also locate games in synaptic.. there's also Urban Terror, Sauerbraten, Beyond the Red Line... [22:43] tifine you should check out http://www.linux-gamers.net/ [22:43] Wor;d of Padman! [22:43] Dark Horizons: Lore - is now free for linux also. [22:43] http://koen.it/ifconfig http://koen.it/interfaces [22:43] http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=2357 [22:43] norv : thnxs [22:43] shadylookin: thnxs [22:43] one thing I -don't like is stuff that's free for linux and "shareware" for windows. [22:44] almost as bad as the other way around, though I don't see that much [22:44] example? only one i can think of is x-chat [22:44] tifine: norv I installed Open Arena last night, and that game is pretty fun [22:44] happy new year all - How can i change or assign my computer a name [22:45] DIL_, go to System>Administration>Network [22:45] IndyGunFreak: aha from synaptic ? [22:45] click on the Hostname tab. [22:45] tifine: yes [22:45] !info | openarena [22:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about info - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:45] DIL_, sorry, the General tab. [22:45] IndyGunFreak: wat kind of game is it ? [22:45] !info openrena [22:45] Package openrena does not exist in gutsy [22:45] reminds me; is xchat still 'shareware' on windows? [22:45] zcat[1], you can get silverex's build [22:46] zcat[1], no idea. haven't used it in a while [22:46] tifine: its a lot like unreal to me [22:46] zcat[1], http://www.silverex.info [22:46] !info open-arena [22:46] how can you have open source on one platform be shareware on another? [22:46] Package open-arena does not exist in gutsy [22:46] When I try and start nautilus, it says that libtrackerclient.so.0 is missing. However the libtrackerclient0 package is installed. What gives? [22:46] I believe Open Arena debs can be installed from getdeb.net [22:46] qcad is another; anyone know of a free windows build equivalent to whatever is in ubuntu? [22:46] FrostRat: no need, its int he repos. [22:46] getdeb rocks [22:46] shadylookin: actually, it's possible. though I don't think the free was really open source [22:46] shadylookin: 2 separate apps [22:46] !info openarena [22:46] openarena: A fast-paced 3D first-person shooter. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.0-4 (gutsy), package size 747 kB, installed size 1648 kB [22:47] poonaani: but just about everything there, is in the repos. [22:47] Vadi: install libtrackerclient-dev [22:47] loudnlownoma: thank you, i thought i did that, but i guess not. [22:47] openarena and alienarena abre both in ubuntu (multiverse?) [22:47] Jaymac, ty [22:47] not awn [22:47] ah i guess that's true if it's not Open source [22:47] I want to scan downloaded files for virii and emails for that matter. I can use clamav for emails but how do I scan downloads in ubuntu? I can do it manually, but I'd prefer automated. [22:47] zcat[1]: don't know about alienarena === ZenAbyss is now known as SerenadedAbyss [22:47] good night [22:47] Someone really needs to package Padman and Urban Terror though... [22:47] !info alienarena [22:48] FrostRat: did you get java installed? [22:48] sorry if I'm repeating, haven't read all the history... but Open Arena is great, so is Nexuiz and Warsow [22:48] Package alienarena does not exist in gutsy [22:48] IndyGunFreak: no prob - just knew that was the name - was just looking into it myself in snyaptic. But it and the dependencies on this box that i need are around 270 mb - my dial-up connection wouldn't be so happy about that :) [22:48] Smegzor: well, have a special download manager? probably a way to run a post-download script or something [22:48] loudnlownoma: well, i'd set it to download overnight or something, cuz its fun. [22:48] hey! i have an internet connection through a wire. i also have a wireless network card in this stationary computer. is there some easy way in ubuntu to create a wlan access point through which my laptop could go online? [22:48] I use KGet. Will that let me do virus scans? [22:48] bah... openarena, warsow and nexuiz are all practically identical.. and boring! urban terror is heaps more fun! [22:48] als het gras 2 kontjes hoog is bel ik met mijn foetsbel. [22:48] Laney: Same problem. [22:48] and I forget the name of the cowboy game that used to be WesternQuake - Smokin' Barrels, I think... lots of fun, couple AI bugs [22:49] hmm [22:49] how can I set an smb share to automount (on boot) ? [22:49] weer een kut jaar [22:49] I have "auto" specified for the mount options, but it doesn't do it [22:49] WoP is also just another arena clone, but the cartoony graphics and sound make it fun [22:49] and mount -a works just fine [22:49] zcat[1] - I'm sure you could get bored of them, but for playing every so often, they do the trick. :D [22:49] IndyGunFreak: May have to do that tonight. Or see if they have a deb installer or something and I can download it at work :) [22:49] sourcemaker: Any luck yet? [22:49] loudnlownoma: i imagine its probably on getdeb.net.. [22:50] loudnlownoma: i hope it is working now... [22:50] !nl > odracir34 [22:50] IndyGunFreak: Thanks! Will check that out! [22:50] loudnlownoma: thanks for help... [22:50] I have a general IRC question. is there anyway to turn off the so and so has joined/left #ubuntu messages? [22:50] question.. one of my process are in background when i push it on the console. but how do i prevent it from being killed when i close the terminal? thanks [22:51] sourcemaker: Absolutely welcome! Hopefully that will clear it up! [22:51] kaatil, look into screen and nohup command & [22:51] Smegzor: that's generally something not asked for, but it may be possible [22:51] nohup? ok thanks [22:52] kaatil, also look into screen, man screen [22:52] screen is cool... [22:52] if only there was a way for X to do the same [22:53] norv, yeah, if only [22:53] there is a way for x to do the same.. forget what it's called [22:53] hey, there's a dvorak keyboard tutor in the repos!...

[23:07] 0-0 [23:07] ahahahaha [23:07] slac: sou mais gastar dinheiro com meus remédios do que com speedy ... :^P [23:07] ups [23:08] sorry [23:08] McKayCR: i thought you said you k new where the file was [23:08] ubotu how do I find #chanels [23:08] I went to Places>Network> [23:08] and it is one of the icons [23:08] ok my real question is that I dont know how to setup my monitor using xrander and the xorg.conf file [23:08] so I dragged it to the trash and it said I can't [23:09] i have been trying a ton of things and its not working :-( [23:09] *xrandr [23:09] Hrrm ?is anybody familiar with any current weird problems with samba server on Ubuntu Gutsy7.10 new installs / current updated samba packages ... intermittent unable access denied errors etc? [23:10] McKayCR: if you have setup a "connect to server" it will appear there and on Desktop. to remove one of these connections right-click-icon-on-desktop and "unmount" [23:11] I'm using a powerbook G4, there is no right click, it's only one button on the mouse [23:11] McKayCR: try this... open a terminal, gksudo nautilus, then when nautilus opens, beside where it says location, there is a little notepad like icon, click it, and in location enter network:/// then delete the file. [23:12] whats that command to ignore join and part messages again? [23:12] hi all, i've got an problem getting from 7.04 to 7.10 , the update manager tells a problem calculating the dependencies [23:12] do most plugins on firefox work the same on linux as in windows? like you don't have to do anything special to install or get them to work? [23:13] fallore_: well, usually, but right now, the flash installer is broken, so it requires a little more work(but its ot hard) [23:13] IndyGunFreak: loudnloma helped me get the flash working just about an hour ago, there's no problem there :] [23:13] i'm talking about greasemonkey specifically [23:13] does anybody know how can I know the time my laptop has been used? I mean, is it possible to know how many hours the mother board has been used? [23:14] fallore_: yeah, greasemonkey installs easily [23:14] Most extensions should work without trouble [23:14] awesome [23:14] thanks [23:14] greasemonkey is an extention, not a plugin [23:14] yeah i'm sorry, i confused the words === fallore_ is now known as fallore [23:14] whats the command to ignore the join part messages, i forget [23:14] the only thing that shows up is Window Network, and when I click on it to get to the connections nothing happens [23:14] Why hasn't the flash plugin been fixed? [23:15] Isn't it just changing an md5sum? [23:15] /ignore #ubuntu JOIN PART IIRC [23:15] newbie: do you mean uptime (how long it's been since last reboot)? [23:15] thats what lupine said [23:15] Laney: cuz its not ubuntu's problem, it has to do with Adobe. [23:15] fallore: thanks [23:15] i dont know if it's right or wrong [23:15] not it^^ [23:15] sorry, i'm new [23:15] IndyGunFreak: did it work? [23:15] fallore: no.. :(..lol [23:16] IndyGunFreak: hah sorry [23:16] nbd [23:16] IndyGunFreak: Cound't ubuntu just release a later package with the new md5sum (once they find out why it changed and that the new binaries don't contain anything nasty?) [23:16] IndyGunFreak: Not really. Ubuntu provide a wrapper around Adobe's installer; they should make it work. [23:16] FrostRat, it could help, but also since the machine was acquired. Is there any internal clock that shows the lifetime of a computer? something similar to cellphones [23:16] zcat[1]: i guess, but it only takes 3sec to download the tarball from adobe.com [23:16] Anyone have an idea why my server would just randomly shutdown? I have it attached to a UPS, so power couldn't be a problem and I've ran diagnostics on my hardware, everything is working fine. [23:17] Boa noite estou a procura de pessoas que queiram escrever artigos sobre ubuntu. Alguem que queira? [23:17] é para o portal PixelPt http://pixelpt.net [23:17] letstalkjoe: has it happened more than once? [23:17] IndyGunFreak: i HATE the idea of installing things in ubunto by downloading shit from websites.. that's the windows way of doing things, and the reason that windows has such awful spyware issues [23:17] If I go to Place>Network> the connection shows up, if I hit delete, nothing happens [23:17] fallore: Yes. [23:17] newbie: I've never heard of anything like that... not saying there isn't, but it would be (cool) news to me [23:17] zcat[1]: well, if thats your thing.. but its a freakin plugin..lol [23:17] letstalkjoe: ah, just wondering. i dont know anything about it but i know thats probably a good question to ask :p [23:17] I thought it was a power problem, so I put it on its' own UPS as sometimes my power goes out periodically. [23:18] letstalkjoe: try reseating the ram, cards and cpu(s) noxt time its down. could be simple thermal expansion [23:18] But, a 1400v UPS by itself... highly unlikely its' running out of power. [23:18] IndyGunFreak: it's a freaking BINARY INSTALLER from a company that's already known to package 'yahoo search toolbar' with their shockwave plugin. [23:18] the file"\master" cannot be moved to the trash [23:18] Alright. Thanks for the tips. [23:18] which is exactly my point. [23:18] is there any firefox setting or otherwise that would cause my address bar to become completely selected when i click it? [23:19] zcat[1]: The flashplugin-nonfree package just downloads and runs the adobe installer anyway so it's not actually any different from doing it yourself. [23:19] I have 64 bit Ubuntu on my laptop HP Compaq 6715s. I have install restricted-package but still java doesn't work on my Firefox. Can anyone help? [23:19] hello... [23:19] Re [23:19] letstalkjoe: is there a consistant interval to this at all? [23:19] dsl [23:19] ia encore du monde? [23:19] Jusle: i don't think java works on 64bit. [23:19] Jusle: Sun don't provide a 64 bit Java plugin, I'm having the same problem [23:19] How do I force Konqueror to list files in detail view always? I can tell it to list that way but it never sticks. I can't find anything in icon view. Help! [23:19] Jusle: I think the only way is to install 32 bit FF [23:20] be back in a few. [23:20] Next question... Where is the hostname config that contains where the directories for each site is located? [23:20] Adept will not update because it ran into problems with some files, apt get gives me the same message. I have no idea what to do...people suggested i come here (from the K channel) [23:20] Jusle: there was a post on ubuntu forums about getting 32 bit firefox to work on 64 bit ubuntu or something that apparently solved that problem [23:20] OK, thank you! [23:20] Err, points too. [23:20] !broken [23:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about broken - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:20] Jusle: java not working right is what pushed me back to 32 bit. it is a real pita. [23:20] how can i upgrade from ubuntu 6.06 lts TO ubuntu 7.10, do i need to reinstall ? [23:20] how to recover GRUB ubuntu after reinstalling Windows? === epifanio_ is now known as epifanio [23:21] Laney: except that the ubuntu package contains an md5sum which gives me some assurance that they looked at how adobe's installed behanved and that I'm not getting some shitty search toolbar in firefox along with the plugin.. that the md5sum is broken means they tried to sneak a 'new, improved, possibly now with yahoo search toolbar' version pas everyone... [23:21] fallore: yes, I know that post. I will read it. Thanks! [23:21] no, but it might be quicker to reinstall...you can do it from synaptic if things haven't changed much [23:21] !language | zcat[1] [23:21] zcat[1]: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:21] killown, you have to re-install grub [23:21] !grub | killown [23:21] killown: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [23:21] Jusle: no problem, hope i helped [23:21] sorry.. adobe just bothers me.. === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFCLI [23:21] how do i fix a system that will not update, because that is the problem? [23:22] zcat[1]: dont you think someone else would've said something about a plugin if that was the case? i can understand you not wanting this to become a norm but not everything is always going to be perfect [23:22] This is what i get [23:22] athena@CPE0010b5bb2efa-CM00080df8f24c:~$ apt-get install --fix-missing [23:22] E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) [23:22] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [23:22] anyhow, I went ahead and installed flash because all the websites my kids use require it... but I'd be much happier if it were from a package [23:23] Athena, sudo apt-get install --fix-missing [23:23] hi all I'm having an issue with amarok and my ipod, everytime I try to do anything on my ipod with amarok and then disconnect the ipod it seems to eject ok but then everything is gone and I have to boot into windows and do a recover o n it [23:23] Athena, it's telling you that you must run the command as sudo [23:23] Athena: Put sudo in front of apt-get [23:23] any ideas [23:23] Thanks, I'll try adding the sudo [23:23] how can I set rm -rf to omit a file? I saw this some nights agao [23:23] fallore: the md5sum means (to me" that the ubuntu community have looked at this download and give me some assurance that I'm getting what I expect.. nothing more. [23:24] it is asking me about some plugins [23:24] zcat[1]: I guess it does mean that. What I want to know is why haven't they done this for the update yet? Is there some problem with it? I installed the updated flashplugin-nonfree when it hit -proposed and see no ill effects from it. It must have been pulled for a reason. [23:25] ah ha...half of my stuff didn't get loaded even though i downloaded it [23:25] is there any way to get the mouse3 (scroll wheel) click in smooth scroll to work on firefox in gutsy? i have my mx510 configured so all the other buttons work but that [23:25] yay! i have detail view in konqueror always now :D [23:25] Laney: yea, I wish I knew too... it seems like all they need to do is verify that whatever adobe changed is harmless, then release a new package with the updated md5.. [23:26] well the system is doing better...but how the heck did CUPS get uninstalled? [23:27] hello [23:28] does anybody knows the name of a imageviewer like gwview but with an interface more friendly? [23:28] has any one created a hotspot here? [23:28] 'pornview' :-) [23:28] bye for now [23:28] what is the full path to java? [23:28] I'm trying to get smplayer to play a dvd. I did Apllication -> Add/Remove and keyed in ubuntu-restricted-extras. When I checked the box I did not get an APPLY button. I what am i missing? [23:28] I use gwenview mostly [23:29] !ohmy | zcat[1] [23:29] zcat[1]: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:29] WTF I didn't name the program... [23:29] zcat[1] thats not friendly xD [23:30] hey an answers an answer :p [23:30] well, it's an image viewer with a nicer interface... I just answered the question. [23:30] im going to have a look at gwenview [23:30] i mean for pornview [23:31] !info pornview [23:31] pornview: Image and movie viewer/manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2pre1-7 (gutsy), package size 223 kB, installed size 664 kB [23:31] I kid you not.. [23:31] when i use the gui to add printer i can see the printer and "add" it but it wont work. I am sharing a usb attached printer to a windows XP computer [23:31] has any one sucessfuly seted up NoCatAuth? or any other hotspot program? [23:31] i've tried before zcat[1] its horrible interface [23:32] hi and happy new year [23:32] is there any rule or guideline in this channel about resending your question if unanswered? [23:32] i am running gutsy and since the fglrx driver acts poorly in 2d i reverted back to the x.org ati driver. my problem is, i get 27 to 30 % cpu usage of X all the time, which makes working unbearable. any ideas what is causing this? [23:32] gwenview's not that great either.. I never found an image viewer I really liked. [23:32] happy gnu year [23:32] where is the fully qualified domain name set in ubuntu ? [23:32] gan|y|med:: happy ubuntu year [23:32] /quit [23:32] oops [23:32] can anubody help my browsers firefox anf konqueror displays only part of some pages (www.ubuntu.sk too) and then never stop downloading of rest of page? why, please? I am on Kubuntu 64.bit [23:33] i like kuickshow just because the scrollwheel goes to the nex pic [23:33] zcat[1]: lmao I am sorry [23:33] basy it could be your DNS server settings or your internet connection. [23:33] ObsidianX: DK [23:33] Or your browser security settings. [23:33] ah sorry :) [23:33] ubotu: DK [23:33] For at få support til Ubuntu på Dansk bedes du venligst gå til #ubuntu-dk.

[23:34] WHY CAN'T I FRIGGEN MOUNT MY ENCFS PARITION [23:34] fusermount: failed to open mountpoint for reading: Permission denied [23:35] if it doesn't mount soon I'm gonna have to go batshit insane [23:35] jlulian38: use sudo [23:35] hurf durf [23:35] plugins java and gnash are OK [23:35] Jusle: and more importanty, why do you still use a broken keyboard? [23:35] p2p: no idea, never used that.. [23:35] i need a dock for linux like the one on mac. does anyone know any? [23:35] jlulian38: watch the language also please [23:35] <_seanc_> Can anyone help me with mounting a USB harddrive? When I plug it in, it tries to automatically mount but I get the error that the name cannot contain new lines and it fails. [23:35] ok, thanks [23:36] _seanc_: new lines? is there a space in the name ? [23:36] <_seanc_> nope [23:36] <_seanc_> the drive is called "MobileSpork" [23:36] can someone help me with my fonts config problem? I can't get firefox and opera to use bitstream vera sans instead of arial [23:36] <_seanc_> and when I go to "Computer" it's listed there accordingly [23:36] not "MobileSpork\n" ? [23:37] 15:35:44 (FileUtils.cpp:194) Found config file /home/jlulian38/store/.enc/.encfs5, but failed to load [23:37] D= [23:37] hello and Happy New Year:) [23:37] anyone used ekiga http://www.hotubuntunews.com/blog_9.shtml ? is is really good ? [23:37] hi and same to you tsurko [23:37] eHome: well, it works... [23:37] thank you IdleOne :) [23:38] <_seanc_> zcat[1]: it does not appear to be MobileSpork\n [23:38] zcat[1]: oh? i should have a try. i usually use skype. [23:38] eHome: it's in synaptic so if you want to give it a try, just tick the box.. [23:38] eHome: Ekiga's great [23:38] <_seanc_> But it was setup on a Windows box [23:38] eHome: probably the best client I've tried for SIP accounts, but it's not perfect [23:39] I would like to ask a question - I use firefox and I'm trying to install flash player. Firefox asks if I want to install it, I confirm and then it says that the package flash-nonfree is already installed, butthere is no flash animation working. [23:39] Any suggestions? [23:39] zcat[1]: FrostRat : i guess my friends should have ekiga as well. well they are on XP/Vista [23:39] tsurko: this is a common problem right now. the solution is to go to the adobe site and download the .tar.gz [23:39] tsurko: after that extract it, run the installer (in terminal if regularly doesn't work) and enjoy [23:39] FrostRat: You can get 2-line SIP adapters real cheap these says... just plug in whatever phone you prefer, and no need to have the computer on all the time to make calls [23:40] damn I'm sorry for being dumb - just checked out the topic [23:40] what is the full path to java? [23:40] is there a command line instruction to turn off the screen? [23:40] fallore, zcat[1] thank you for your assistance [23:40] hey_hey: when i want to run shutdown over SSH to completely turn the computer off, what -LETTER should i use [23:40] oops, but yeah [23:40] tsurko: glad to help :] [23:40] Cackette`: shutdown -h now [23:41] zcat[1]: thx, I'll look into it [23:41] Cackette`: or just 'halt' will work [23:41] what would -H or -P do differently? === Cackette` is now known as Cackette [23:41] shutdown -h powers it off for me.. [23:41] what is the best free antivirus available for ubuntu? [23:41] Cackette: it's pretty intuitive... you can use -r to reboot it, and instead of now, you can tell it which time... pretty handy [23:42] tsurko "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude -y reinstall flash-nonfree" [23:42] yeah, but what does -H or -P do differently than -h [23:42] newbie: clamav [23:42] Cackette "shutdown -h now" [23:42] will shut it down [23:42] newbie: ubuntu's the best antivirus :D You can get clamav, avg, a bunch of others [23:42] i get that, i just wanna know [23:42] does anyone know when im running mythbuntu my external HD wont appear? [23:42] Cackette you can also use "init 0" [23:42] -h = halt [23:43] and -H = halt after shutdown, -P = power off after shutdown [23:43] but what do those do differently than -h [23:43] Cackette if you do "shutdown --help" it'll give you a list of flags. [23:43] :) [23:43] help! I deleted tty3 tty4 tty5 and tty6 from /etc/event.d because I wanted to remve all but 2 vc's. Now I have no vc's at all.... [23:43] Cackette: I think -P is a default.. [23:44] zcat[1], could it be compared with kaspersky?, I mean, I know there are a bunch of viruses on my hdd for win2 partition, with clamav can I get rid of all of them? [23:44] Cackette: perhaps -H if you want it to halt but not power off? [23:44] zcat[1]: there are no info on ekiga.net - similar to skype? you pay so that you can use pc-phone. and i guess free pc-pc ? [23:44] Cackette http://swoolley.org/man.cgi/shutdown [23:44] is there any way to get the mouse3 (scroll wheel) click in smooth scroll to work on firefox in gutsy? i have my mx510 configured so all the other buttons work but that [23:44] how do I add desktops ? [23:44] does anybody know what Ubuntu's default CD/DVD creator does if you tell it to disable the Windows Compatibility and continue without it ? [23:44] wols: sry but what did you mean "a broken keyboard"? [23:44] anyone here experienced with Emerald? [23:44] vanchu what you do you mean by "add desktops"? [23:44] my shutdown has more options than that tcpdumpgod [23:44] I deleted the bar at the bottom [23:45] eHome: there are heaps of different sip providers ; sipphone, freeworlddialup, etc .. [23:45] Add different window managers? Like GNOME or KDE or XFCE? [23:45] wols: bindings are bad? [23:45] vanchu, are you in gnome? [23:45] the virtual desktops [23:45] eHome: ekiga is a SIP client, so you can pay for service from voipdiscount.com, whatever [23:45] can someone help me unistall firefox 3 and get back firefox 2? [23:45] Cackette like i said , do a "man shutdown" at the command line and it'll list your flags. [23:45] WorkingOnWise: So, you can't even do CTRL+ALT+F1? [23:45] eHome: or you can use it PC-to-PC like a Skype/msn client [23:45] I bleave so [23:45] NelsonUWP did you install firefox 3 VIA APT? [23:45] FrostRat, I know ubuntu is way superior than windoze, the problem is that I use to fix computers and people prefer win2 than ubuntu, but I need to clean their files before reinstalling windoze. which is the best AV available for ubuntu? [23:46] Cackette do you have a question, or just want to learn all the flags for the shutdown command? [23:46] tcpdumpgod: ?? APT? [23:46] newbie clamav [23:46] Ok I'm repenting here, but please someone help me with my encfs problem. Attemping to mount it makes it spit out "15:46:06 (FileUtils.cpp:194) Found config file /home/jlulian38/store/.enc/.encfs5, but failed to load" [23:46] Hemebond: when I do, for f1-f6, I get a black screen with a blinking line in the upper left corner. [23:46] sip is also good to webchat with people who use msn, aka grandma and grandpa for many of us. [23:46] NelsonUWP did you use the package manager or an insstaller from the firefox website? [23:46] NelsonUWP: out of interest, why do you want to remove it? [23:46] msn uses sip? [23:46] tcpdumpgod: i was just curious as to what "shutdown after halt" (-H) and "powerdown after halt" (-P) meant, seeing as they seem to be the same thing [23:46] newbie: it was just a joke, that's why I put the smiley in there. They'll all work. ClamAV is the most popular, it seems, for linux users. [23:46] zcat[1], it can. [23:46] xegsys: im having problems with all the prblems.. java.. etc [23:46] cool [23:47] Any of you guys know anything about Emerald? [23:47] FrostRat: lost me. i guess ekiga is similar to gaim ? which handle multiple chat, but itself does not has account - but it ask me user/password [23:47] i mean plugins [23:47] Is there any software that is good for showing system hardware?? [23:47] NelsonUWP: if you installed via ubuntu, $ sudo apt-get remove firefox-3.0 [23:47] I tried hardinfo, but it keeps crashing [23:47] phreck: u might have better luck in #compiz-fusion [23:47] how do I to install kde4 rc2 on ubuntu? [23:47] FrostRat, thanks! [23:47] Cackette yes, a lot do the same (or almost the same) thing. [23:48] netlarlinux use "lshw" [23:48] its already installed. [23:48] WorkingOnWise: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=407273 [23:48] yea, im spamming it there too lol [23:48] ok [23:48] netlarlinux you can do a "lshw |more" to pause screen to screen. [23:48] ok thanks [23:48] eHome, ekiga is more like netmeeting [23:48] xegsys: it said that it removed it, but it did not [23:48] netlarlinux you can also use lspci, lsusb, and others. [23:48] does anybody know what Ubuntu's default CD/DVD creator does if you tell it to disable the Windows Compatibility and continue without it ? [23:48] eHome: no, ekiga is more like Skype... you can chat or make calls for free to others with the program (or any other SIP client), or pay for pc-to-phone [23:49] how do I to install kde4 rc2 on ubuntu? [23:49] you know how in windows if you click the scroll wheel down it gives you a nice wheel you can move up or down to scroll in firefox? is there a way to have that in linux? [23:49] except that with skype, the only place you can get an account is skype.. [23:49] tcpdumpgod, sorry for insist on this, but is clamav better than avg, mcafee, or any other AV?, do you know how often is clamav updated? [23:49] Not any good gui based software out there? === cromag is now known as Cromag [23:49] fallore, what do you get now when you do that in ff? [23:49] larson999: nothing, clicking mouse3 down does nothing. all my other buttons work though [23:49] newbie: two or three updates per day I think.. [23:50] newbie in my personal opinion (and im a VERY educated systems admin/security analyst) clamav is one of the best. [23:50] ekiga is more like netmeeting though than skype [23:50] phreck: bindings? [23:50] Hemebond: that looks like the solution for me! Ty. [23:50] I like it the best, its updated daily and it uses VERY little system resources. [23:50] I need someone who knows about emerald, because its being a bitch [23:50] my decorations "break" randomly [23:50] phreck emerald theme manager? [23:51] tcpdumbgod, I cannot seem to get my speakers to pipe sound through both the left and right speaker [23:51] is there a file i need to tweak? [23:51] zcat[1], tcpdumpgod, Thank you. From now on I'll try clamav [23:51] netlarlinux open up your mixer and make sure both chans are on. [23:51] NelsonUWP: are you sure the firefox you've still got isn't firefox 2? [23:52] brb, poopie time. === wirechief_ is now known as wirechief-intel [23:52] NelsonUWP: try firefox --version [23:52] who's using ff that would be using ff2? [23:52] My wife's windows decorations broke in fusion yesterday. didn't come right with a fresh login so I ended up installing emerald to fix the problem.. much nicer look anyhow.. [23:52] wouldn't [23:52] xegsys: 3.0b2 [23:52] Hi, does anyone know a way to encrypt (symmetrically) a list of files using the same pass phrase in kgpg without having to input the phrase repeatedly for each individual file? [23:52] when i open up the mixer i do not see anything for a left and right channel [23:53] xegsys: i just uninstalled firefox through synaptic and it removed firefox but I still have 3 [23:53] I hate it when things just break for no apparent reason thouhg :( [23:53] you know how in windows if you click the scroll wheel down it gives you a nice wheel you can move up or down to scroll in firefox? is there a way to have that in linux? [23:53] zcat[1]: well, might take a while to understand how to use. installed edika, not sure where to start [23:53] oh, those running ff 3 beta! i'm a moron. [23:53] eHome, you probably need to start by getting a sip account. [23:54] I have a Yamaha sound card int he machine [23:54] NelsonUWP: that doesn't sound like the version of firefox 3.0 in the ubuntu repos.. [23:54] where's the 'friendliest' place for free SIP these days? gismoproject? [23:54] larson999: where to get sip account ? can i use my skype account ? [23:54] NelsonUWP: current ubuntu version of firefox-3.0 is 3.0a8 [23:54] xegsys: i dont think it was, I think i downloaded it [23:54] ok [23:54] Oh.. you can get a sip accound at ekiga.net :) [23:55] ok [23:55] xegsys: so any idea how I remove that? [23:55] zcat[1]: what is a sip account look like: abc123 or just phone number ? [23:55] eHome: the first time you run the program, it'll walk you through the account signup [23:56] hey guys.. I have been having issues with my eclipse install.. i installed under breezy i think initially, and as i've updated i didn't use it for a while, now i can't get it to re-install successfully [23:56] NelsonUWP: well, if apt definitely doesn't think it's installed.. deleting the files shouldn't be a problem [23:56] eHome: can be both. usually you get a name but there's a matching number, so that ppl with ATA adapters can phone you like a normal phone [23:56] just go in and remove the folders? [23:56] if there is a "c" beside packages under dpkg -l | grep eclipse [23:56] how can i determine what's remaining to be done to that package? [23:56] NelsonUWP: it depends where you've installed it, etc [23:57] ok [23:58] is it any known issues with using the ubuntu live cd with raid systems? I have burned the ubuntu live cd but all I get when I boot up after that first menu, is a black screen [23:58] monitor even turns off... [23:58] Svish hardware raid i take it? [23:58] how do I to install kde4 rc2 on ubuntu? [23:58] tcpdumpgod: yeah. I set it up with a bios utility [23:59] Svish you have it in an array in the RAID cards bios? [23:59] Svish what kinda array [23:59] raid 0 [23:59] raid1? [23:59] okay [23:59] after I boot up I press f10 and get an nvidia raid editor thingy [23:59] where I set up the raid [23:59] zcat[1]: mmm . it's a matter of popularity. if none of my friends use ekiga, that makes my ekiga useless -- is it true ?
