[00:00] arizalord: no idea sry [00:00] mike__: Are you running an IRC client and little else? [00:00] Hi - I'm using Fiesty, trying to get a bluetooth adapter working. When I plug it in, a message pops up from the "KDE Bluetooth Framework" saying, "Failed to connect to the SDP server. Please make sure that sdpd is running; without it, other devices will not be able to find out which services your computer offers." Any idea on how to fix this? [00:00] arizalord: doesn't work from the menu? [00:00] Ryan: no, just firefox and evolution [00:00] charles87, thx! [00:00] hanophix33: OK, but that doesn't say anything about it being 802.11abg or using security such as WPA tkip/ccm AES or WEP [00:00] mike__: Does it still happen if you don't have Evolution open? [00:00] Ryan: and this IRC of course [00:01] I have managed to bork my window manager during an aborted update. Symtoms: windows all open in same location without a frame, cannot resize or move windows. pager does not work. Is there a way to restore it? [00:01] do i need to patch my kernel if i want to use my hardware sata raid manager with a raid5 array? [00:01] is there a howto on using nvidias driver with ubuntu? [00:01] if I install it it works [00:01] XBehave: I get this: W: GPG error: http://download.tuxfamily.org gutsy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 3C33E735F854AFD7 [00:01] charles87, it does not appear! [00:01] djcabz: I dont know about any security [00:01] Ryan: Didn't try it. I'll close it now. [00:01] but after I reboot if fails again [00:01] thats the problem [00:01] DJcabz: I couldnt even see the SSID [00:01] !nvidia | prakriti [00:01] prakriti: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:01] hi I've just upgraded to the newest ati drivers and i cant get 1400x1050 res to work on my laptop. i have mode "1400x1050" defined and it worked with earier drivers. I have not changed my xorg.conf. [00:01] hanophix33: the page you are talking about is fairly standard with wireless AP going through some type of authentication manager. it recognizes your MAC and whether you have permission to be on the network... [00:02] djcabz: so UBUNTU shouldnt have a problem [00:02] Ryan: I have another user running it too. I'll have to close here and switch over. [00:02] thanks ubotu [00:02] djcabz: why doesnt the SSID come up? [00:02] is there any way i can have numlock automatically turned on when linux boots? [00:02] hanophix33: good point. that is what I find odd and that is why I had my doubt I will be able to help you... [00:02] arizalord: are you with the latest ATI driver? [00:02] XBehave: nvm i got that fixed [00:02] how can i check if i have LVM? [00:02] prakriti: ubotu is a bot that is used to repeat factoids !factoids [00:02] I get an I/O error when trying to empty my wastebasket, any idea how I can purge any corrupt items? [00:02] uhm no [00:02] arizalord: there's a bug with the new driver, it's only work with 1280x1024 max resolution [00:03] !factoids [00:03] djcabz: school hasnt technically started yet so I thought maybe the university shut its wireless network down [00:03] thats not what i need anyway [00:03] 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 [00:03] how to get the fs uid for fstab? [00:03] prakriti: What do you need then? [00:03] ubuntu's restricted driver manager installs a driver thats too old for the 8800gt [00:03] OD810: Thanks. :) [00:03] yes, everything runs nice.. but not my resolution! [00:03] i need to install it from nvidia and have it stick [00:03] can anyone suggest me some good messenger other then pidgin .. i want to use msn and gtalk [00:03] djcabz: with this type of network, they should have a typical wireless network which than requires a thirdparty authorization right [00:03] hanophix33: that is where I was going. do you know whether the network was up? usually university don't shut them down... [00:03] arizalord: i have the same issue, i cant use 1400x1050 [00:03] speedbird: What's the problem with pidgin? [00:03] OD810, 1280x768 to? [00:03] OD810, 1280x768 too? [00:03] speedbird: It's included by default because it's the best for most purposes. [00:04] feisty ~! cant install [00:04] how can i check if i have LVM? [00:04] speedbird: you can do that with pidgin, kopete is good but its kde, ive also use sim [00:04] arizalord: i reckon we should revert to the older driver [00:04] but i find it to be abit buggy myself [00:04] hanophix33: exactly... [00:04] prakriti: Are you up to date? What version are you wanting to install? [00:04] djcabz: I am not sure. We are on winter break until monday and no one is on campus really, So i though this might be a possibility [00:04] arizalord: http://www.livibetter.com/blog/2007/12/24/i-lost-1680x1050-resolution-with-fglrx-84431/ check this [00:04] OD810: you think it's a driver bug stopping us from getting to 1680x1050? [00:04] RyanPrior i have 7.04 [00:04] inertial: it's a known bug [00:04] prakriti: nvidia-glx is 1.0.9639 [00:04] when u purge a package what exactly does that do [00:04] gyaresu : the latest 169.07 [00:04] !purge [00:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about purge - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:04] speedbird: The 7.04 version of Pidgin is called Gaim. It's just as good. [00:05] I run mIRC on my windows partition and connect to a server and it has encryption and i use the Fish addon, Can i use such an Addon in linux. I am thinking of ditching windows altogether. [00:05] hanophix33: try install kismet and playing with that. under Ubuntu it is extremely easy to install and play with. [00:05] OD810: got a link? [00:05] they just added 8800gt support in the newest release [00:05] not supported in ubuntu [00:05] inertial: http://www.livibetter.com/blog/2007/12/24/i-lost-1680x1050-resolution-with-fglrx-84431/ [00:05] is there any way i can have numlock automatically turned on when linux boots? [00:05] as I said I can install it with their install and it works [00:05] djcabz: so you think that UBUNTU could handle this autorization on monday? [00:05] !envy [00:05] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [00:05] <`Matir> Is anyone aware of any issues with LVM and suspend/hibernate? [00:05] but as soon as I reboot it gets crunched [00:05] how can i get my hardware raid controler to work? [00:05] i think the driver isn't going into the initrd [00:05] OD810: damn i bought an ati because i thought they'd have better drivers [00:05] RyanPrior : can you tell me is there any way i can see display pictures of my msn friends and sort them by their status without those categories ? [00:06] inertial, too late [00:06] fallore: yes well kde can so there must be a way to do it in gaim [00:06] prakriti: Well you can install the driver manually but will probably have problems next time you upgrade. [00:06] *gnome [00:06] so i should look to see how to rebuild that [00:06] gyaresu : yes i know, but thats fine [00:06] XBehave: gaim? i mean linux in general for login [00:06] inertial: not for now [00:06] its better than not having a working system now [00:06] hanophix33: yes. unless they are using WPA :) then you have to get WPA working first... [00:06] OD810: does the open source driver work at that resolution? === Ash908 is now known as Ashfire908 [00:06] speedbird: Buddies -> Sort buddies -> By status [00:06] inertial: you mean Mesa? [00:06] anybody remember the ocmmand to rebuild that [00:06] djcabz: Ive tried everything to get WPA on my network working....no luck, so i switched to WEP which messed up my whole situation unfortunately [00:06] speedbird: i know kopete can do that but i think pidgin can too [00:06] ? [00:07] !partions [00:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about partions - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:07] !raid [00:07] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [00:07] damit [00:07] what file system should i use for a new hardrive that will store media files? [00:07] hanophix33: what type of wireless adapter do you have? [00:07] OD810: is that what the open source ati driver is called? [00:07] djcabz: how can i find that out? [00:07] prakriti: Did you see the "See Also" link at the bottom of BindaryDriverHotto/Nvidia ? [00:07] angel__: ext3 is fine [00:07] is it possible to run make modules (but for only one module) [00:07] Anyone have just the name of a GUI to manage mounts and etc.? :) [00:07] RyanPrior i have done that already but still i see those categories :s plus the display picture is not visible to me :( [00:07] is there any way i can have numlock automatically turned on when linux boots? [00:07] Pici, awseome! thanks [00:08] i hate this TV oout shit [00:08] or can someone tell me how to obtain numlockx? [00:08] -.- [00:08] speedbird: I don't know if Gaim has the pictures, but I thought that it did. [00:08] OD810: does setting the modeline work to fix it? it says it's a workaround.. [00:08] speedbird: To get rid of the categories, just lump everybody together into one big category. [00:08] goddman gparted is a freaking awesome tool! i paid $80 for partition magic on M$ Windoze [00:08] is there any other messenger which support display pictures ? [00:08] inertial: havent tried yet, might try it now [00:09] I am installing ubuntu on the pc next to me with the alternative cd and its hanging at the Select and install software part at 6%. The cd's checksum is correct and there are no defects on it. so now what do I do? [00:09] ohh k... hanophix33, try lspci | grep -i wireless [00:09] hi [00:09] eltux: Is there an option to do safe mode install or run other options? [00:09] RyanPrior ... thats ok categories are no big issue but display picture is ... any other messenger ? [00:09] how old is the comp you're tryin' the insatll on? [00:09] skype supports cams, but it isn't a real IM, speedbird [00:09] guys i have a question on wireless lan card on my laptop [00:10] gyaresu: you mean at the beginning like you can select boot options? [00:10] Johnny_5, better Q is what are the specs [00:10] speedbird: You could try downloading Pidgin as a .deb file. I'm sure that pidgin does the display pictures. [00:10] eltux: aye. noacpi usually sorts that problem for old machines. [00:10] djcabz: Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset [00:10] !ask > misha [00:10] RyanPrior ... i tried that but it wont install :( [00:10] when i sudo dmraid -ay, , i get 'ERROR: device-mapper target type "raid45" not in kernel' [00:10] angel__:ah...true...that's kinda what i was gettin' at [00:10] nickrud, thx for the ATI driver how-to... but did you have problems with screen resolution? [00:10] so I just add noacpi to the end of the boot options gyaresu? [00:10] well i have an LG s1 express dual [00:11] eltux: aye. [00:11] when i sudo dmraid -ay, , i get 'ERROR: device-mapper target type "raid45" not in kernel' does this mean that i need to change my kernel? [00:11] so no one one knows how can i check if i have LVM? [00:11] arizalord, no, it found my lcd screen fine [00:11] speedbird: Well, you could try KDE's Kopete, or aMSN (only does MSN though), or you could run a Windows version through Wine. [00:11] okay, I'll tell you what happens gyaresu [00:11] does anyone know how I can get my Creative X-Fi working under Ubuntu 7.10 32 bit? [00:11] hanophix33: start here... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=140836 [00:11] speedbird: I'm inclined to advise you to upgrade to 7.10 or just do without the little pictures, thoug. [00:11] hello [00:11] the problem is (well i didn't find any answer on it in the web) that my wireless card is turned on by FN key (hardware i mean) i have dual boot so when in windows (xp) i turn my wireless off - i can't turn it on in ubunt , and vise a versa [00:11] nickrud, do you know how i can change my resolution? [00:11] inertial: it worksssssss [00:12] hi what is the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit version ubuntu? [00:12] inertial: the modelines thing works [00:12] djcabz: thats for WPA right? [00:12] RyanPrior tell me 7.10 have pidgin builtin ? [00:12] arizalord, does system->prefs>screen res help? [00:12] hanophix33: uh... don't know :) just goggled it :) [00:12] hebbe: The 64 bit version allows you to have a larger address space, allowing large files and streams to be processed more effectively. [00:12] speedbird, yes [00:12] hebbe: 64 bit takes advantage of 64 bit processors but is not as compatible as 32 [00:12] arizalord: i got the work around [00:12] djcabz: did you mention something like kismet? [00:12] speedbird: Yes, 7.10 has pidgin built in. [00:12] Pici, so i formated it, now i would have to have it mount at boot up right? [00:12] speedbird, still fighting with pidgin? [00:12] thanks [00:13] nickrud, my optimal resolution does not appear! [00:13] hebbe: no problem. :-) [00:13] RyanPrior : thanks i will upgrade then as i have tried everything possible :( nothing worked for me :s [00:13] arizalord: check the link i just gave you, it works [00:13] anyone? [00:13] hanophix33: yeah, but nevermind that until after you get WPA working... [00:13] arizalord: i got 1680x1050 resolution now [00:13] 64bit sux for desktop but is good for servers that use harden apps [00:13] toni_ yeah still but i think i will upgrade to 7.10 [00:13] angel__: Presumably, if you want it to be there when you boot. [00:13] OD810!, wow! fantastic... thx.. i'll try it [00:13] arizalord, put a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org or listen to OD810 's thing first [00:13] speedbird, why don't you upgrade ? [00:13] hanophix33: the link reports it will help WPA. [00:14] hrmm I can't find a way to get my screenlets to not show a black square around them [00:14] RyanPrior : thanks man .. [00:14] djcabz: i gave up on WPA [00:14] speedbird: I hope things work out. [00:14] LOL [00:14] nickrud, thx [00:14] Pici, lol ok cuz i will create to links Video and Music to go there. [00:14] arizalord: you might experience the login screen mess up but it works fine [00:14] misha: Sounds like you need a software package to manage the keys. DOn't know which one but there should be something depending on your laptop model. (from memory) [00:14] arizalord: let me restart once more to confirm [00:14] what is a good tool for manging mount configuration [00:14] ok [00:15] angel__: /etc/fstab [00:15] toni_ yeah i m upgrading to 7.10 but is it good to upgrade from update manager ? as i dont want to do a fresh installation ? will that be ok ? [00:15] speedbird, i do with update manager [00:15] well, thats a good idia but as i said the FN key (in windows) turns off/on the wireless card hardwerly [00:15] speedbird: I've upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10 on a few machines successfully. [00:15] speedbird: It has been a lot smoother than in past transitions. [00:16] RyanPrior : you have upgraded through Update manager or fresh installation ? [00:16] misha: The function key can be operated by your operating system. You just need to find out how. Exactly what model is it? [00:16] so that the wireless card won't "eat" the battery while i don't need wireless, but when the wirelese card is turned off hardwarely ubunt event doesn't see i have wireless card on [00:16] speedbird: Through upgrade manager. If I install 7.10 on my machine fresh, it doesn't work. The only way for me is to install 7.04 and upgrade. :-\ [00:16] djcabz: what was the final verdict with my campus situation [00:16] are there a device-manager patch for raid5 system compatible with the 2.6.22 kernel? [00:16] /etc/fstab is not a tool! lol. [00:16] hanophix33: I don't have your wireless adapter. and come to think of it, I haven't tried connecting to my AP at the house using WPA with 7.10 (or 7.04) but I was able to do it with 6.10 so I assume it still works. I have an ipw2200 and not an prism card... [00:17] RyanPrior .. alright thanks alot :) i m upgrading now ..... [00:17] i have LG S1 express dual with Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) [00:17] --help [00:17] can anyone suggest me a good software for a backup of the whole system? Something easy, I don't need an everyday backup. [00:17] does anyone in the room has any expertise that they can contribute regarding the use of raid arrays? [00:17] djcabz: I moved to WEP [00:17] hanophix33: Unless we are at the campus we can not do too much. Kismet is a wireless sniffer and it install really easy under Ubuntu. Just use synaptic [00:17] Pici: Thank You! It works now! I cant believe how fast ubuntu really is! [00:18] sidelil grsync [00:18] donluigi: Was there something wrong with the hardware? [00:18] i guess it wasnt plugged in correctly [00:18] If the campus use WPA and you set the adapter for WEP, you should still see the SSID when the AP beacons, [00:18] djcabz: I am using add/remove apps and kismet doesnt comeup [00:18] i just took them off, put them back in the the opposite slot and bingo! [00:18] donluigi: Great :D [00:18] th0r, thank you [00:18] djcabz: The SSID doesnt come up at all === Kud is now known as sp0ro [00:18] hey, question about 64 bit ubuntu.. is it still as painful as it used to be? [00:18] Sorry for all these Question. How much required space would you recommend for ubuntu? My current setup is c: (windowsXPpro + apps) 20GB D:(my docs + desktop) 130GB. I am planning to create a new partion, say another 20GB partition and install unbuntu. How much space do you guys think i'll need? [00:18] hanophix33: Can you detect other wireless networks from withinn linux? [00:18] djcabz: I figured, if it was on, some SSID would come up [00:19] Pici: I cant believe i didnt go into this chat before... i have had this problem since september [00:19] Pici: But did not want to go back to windows for the world. [00:19] Pici, RyanPrior, would simply adding /dev/sdc /mnt/MMedia ext3 defaults 0 0 be enough? [00:19] gyarsu: yes, I am on one now and I see 8 others in my apartment complex [00:19] repositories, hanophix33... [00:19] Fraser: My / is 10 GB, and even that's FAR too much. [00:19] anyone know how i can get the creative x-fi working on ubuntu 7.10 32 bit? [00:19] Fraser I have 6G free out of 15G...but I am a power user [00:19] /dev/sda2 11G 4.4G 5.9G 43% / [00:19] angel__: As long as /mnt/MMEdia exists, thats fine [00:19] anyone else have issues with video playback? [00:19] Pici: I have another question. My video and soundcard are not installed, just using a generic driver. how can i find the proper ones_ [00:19] 11 G, sorry. [00:19] angel__: Try it and find out. [00:19] djcabz: I apologize for my ignorance [00:19] djcabz: I have to start somewhere [00:20] donluigi: In gnome, System>Administration>Restricted drivers manager [00:20] #ubuntu [00:20] hanophix33: from the command line you should then be able to 'sudo iwlist eth1 scan' or whatever is the equivalent to eth1 on your machine, and see the network. Regardsless of any encryption. [00:20] I probably have a bunch of junk that I need to remove too, old cached .deb's, etc. [00:20] Pici, RyanPrior, ok, i'll give it a try. how would permissions be handled though? i don't want other users to delete my media [00:20] Pici: I think even my lan card is also using a generic driver. ill go have a look. thanks [00:20] raga [00:20] hanophix33: np.. exactly and it is good that you choose Ubuntu, best desktop linux distro in my opinion. [00:20] #UBUNTU.IT [00:20] Yeah, I just got back 1 GB after an apt-get clean [00:20] Pici: On restricted drivers, it only shows my phone modem... [00:20] angel__: It will be mounted with normal user permissions. So, make everything be owned by you and nobody else will be able to access it. [00:21] djcabz: interface doesnt support scanning [00:21] donluigi: What video card do you have? [00:21] Is there any way to Clone my hole 1280*1024 Desktop on my 1024*768 TV?! In windows this works, but in linux he copies just a part of the screen...its an nvidia card.. [00:21] i need a hand with this command [00:21] mdf2iso /home/d/Desktop/Unreal Tournament 2004.mds [00:21] th0r + ServeredCross: Can you change the location of the desktop folder and stuff in linux, like you can in windows (right clicking my doc, properties + using TweetUI for changing the desktop location) ??? [00:21] djcabz: is Ubuntu a good LAPTOP distro, LOL! [00:21] what do i do in the spaces? [00:21] AspiringSociopat: put the path in quotes "" [00:21] okay [00:21] RyanPrior, sweet! linux is a hell of a lot easier than i though [00:21] AspiringSociopat: and choose the mdf not mds [00:22] ahh okay [00:22] There are not as many kernel in ubuntu as in debian [00:22] No distro is really super laptop-friendly. [00:22] Fraser I use xfce so not sure about gnome and kde, but I think in gnome if you move /home//Desktop it still remains active in the new location [00:22] im really new to the whole command thing [00:22] I wonder why [00:22] angel__: It's not always, but we like to make things simple when possible. :-) [00:22] Pici: it embedded in my motherboard. lemme have a look. [00:22] AspiringSociopat: Then you're doing fine :) [00:22] Fraser: To be totally honest, I'm not really sure. [00:22] I know you can move the desktop folder elsewhere and then symlink /home/user/Desktop to the new location, and that'll work. [00:22] There might be a gconf setting somewhere. [00:23] RyanPrior, how long have you been doing linux? [00:23] hanophix33: desktop / laptop the same thing for me... if the IF doesn't support scanning... OH you mean it doesn't support monitor mode [00:23] i have a question? i have an older gateway 600 mhz cpu, 384mb ram, i have ubuntu installed works fine. sometimes a little sluggish, looking around i noticed xbuntu and it says that it is a little lighter version desk top environment. if i install that would there be a noticeable improvement? any input is appreciated. [00:23] I prefer CentOS for servers and Ubuntu for PCs [00:23] i did the command exactly as you said [00:23] im trying to convert this mdf to iso and it says Unreal Tournament 2004.mdf is already ISO9660. [00:23] donluigi: chances are, that perhaps there are no proprietary drivers for your hardware, and generic may jut work fine. [00:23] arthur37854: Probably some, yeah. [00:23] angel__: I've been tinkering with it since 2003, but I've been using it daily on my laptop since 2006. [00:23] Xfce is a good deal lighter than Gnome. [00:23] djcabz: thats what it said, doesnt support scanning [00:24] th0r + ServeredCross: Ok, thanks. I'm away to install Ubuntu again on a new partition. I'll prob be back with some more questions, lol. I'm a linux newbie! :D [00:24] im prolly give it a try see what happens... thanks [00:24] That's allright, we all ha to start somewhere [00:24] Is there any way to Clone my hole 1280*1024 Desktop on my 1024*768 TV?! In windows this works, but in linux he copies just a part of the screen...its an nvidia card.. [00:24] dox: TwinView? [00:24] will i be able to mount Unreal Tournament 2004.mdf is already ISO9660. [00:24] if its already an iso09660? [00:24] djcabz: eth1 Interface doesn't support scanning. [00:24] yes [00:24] RyanPrior, i've been on it since nov, ubuntu made me switch. [00:24] AspiringSociopat: You can mount an iso9660 file, yes. [00:25] angel__: Ubuntu, and Debian-based distributions in general, are a pleasure to use. [00:25] AspiringSociopat: It's an alcohol file at the moment right? So you need to change it to and .iso and then mount it on a loop device. [00:25] hu okay ill try it out [00:25] gyaresu -> do you know any other solutions to the fn key problem? [00:25] arthur37854>you could try the windows maneger enlightenment...it doesn't seem to take as long to load up...i think its lighter than gnome and certaintly lighter than kde [00:25] SeveredCross: I'm using twinView but than the TV Desktop is just a Cutout from the normal Desktop :> [00:25] i tried to use mdf2iso [00:25] misha: What is exact model? [00:25] and it said its already iso09660 [00:25] dox: You may have to change some settings around, I've never used TwinView. [00:25] #ubuntu.it [00:25] xfce run the same apps as gnome? [00:25] oh, one more question! lol, what file system do you recomment for ubuntu? NTFS? [00:25] hanophix33: you may not have the correct driver installed... but I really would google it... [00:25] nickrud, can you help me? :D [00:25] AspiringSociopat: run 'file blahblah.mdf' [00:25] im trying since 45 minutes^^ [00:26] ill try to mount it anyway [00:26] AspiringSociopat: What does that say? [00:26] #ubuntu.it [00:26] Fraser: ext3 [00:26] Ubuntu Gurus: I have managed to bork my window manager during an aborted update. Symtoms: windows all open in same location without a frame, cannot resize or move windows. pager does not work. Does anyone have an idea how to restore it to full function? [00:26] Pici, RyanPrior, how do i reload the fstb conf? [00:26] gyaresu: its locking up again [00:26] djcabz: google what [00:26] angel__: sudo mount -a [00:26] it says run command not found [00:26] lol [00:26] eltux: Old machine? [00:26] angel__: What do you mean, reload it? Reset it to what it was before you edited it? [00:26] «gyaresu» thanks [00:26] djcabz: do you think the network will be so hard to find? [00:27] AspiringSociopat: the 'file' command should be there... [00:27] djcabz: it should just be an open system with a different authorization [00:27] AspiringSociopat: the blahblah was my shorthand for your Unreal.mdf file [00:27] RyanPrior, no i mean take in the new settings i just saved, Pici said sudo mount -a should do it [00:27] oh i know that lol [00:27] djcabz: but I guess I will find out for sure on monday when the campus is "open" [00:27] angel__: If that doesn't do it, rebooting should. [00:27] hanophix33: yes, if you don't have the correct drivers under linux, then, it may be difficult to see the SSID... but it is working so that doesn't make sense... err... I think the network at the campus was offline. [00:27] so like this run "/home/d/Desktop/Unreal Tournament 2004.mdf" [00:28] gyaresu: not really, I do know however that the ram has always shown up wrong on this system. it says I have only 192mb when I really have 256 mb [00:28] djcabz: hanophix33 He's right. It doesn't make sense if you can see other networks. [00:28] gyaresu -> exact model of laptop? or model of wireless card (don't understand quite how to get it / what u mean) [00:28] Pici, RyanPrior, WTF? 2gigs are now being used in my brand new hd! what the hell is lost+found? [00:28] eltux: shared video. that's normal. [00:28] misha: WHAT LAPTOP ARE YOU USING :) [00:28] angel__: it's lost files that have been found [00:29] angel__: Lost and found is a place where lost files get put. It's rarely used. [00:29] eltux: can you run other live cd's on it? [00:29] gyaresu: any ideas on how to get it installed? all I want to do is use it as a game server :\ [00:29] kitche, er how did htey get lost from an empty hd? [00:29] gyaresu: I can't run any live cd's on it, I'm installing with the alternative cd [00:29] angel__: depending on the size of the drive the 5% reserve might be that 2 gigs [00:29] gyaresu-> I am using LG laptop S1 Express Dual (that is the model) [00:29] Pici: ok! thanks! [00:29] angel__: You can reformat the drive to reclaim maximum space if you like. [00:29] angel__: it's not but every hard drive that is formatted ext3 needs that folder really [00:29] gyaresu: trust me, I fully appreciate you and djcabz expertise on this and I fully believe and hope what you say is true. I bought a new laptop and put linux on it for the hopes that I couldnt use it for school and when I went on campus today to see if the wireless would work, I was pretty bummed to see that it didnt [00:30] kitche, RyanPrior ok. i won't sweat it then [00:30] eltux: Has it had an OS on it recently. (just wondering if it's hardware) [00:30] angel__: it's used for the journaling during a fsck [00:30] hanophix33: good luck [00:30] *could use it for school [00:30] djcabz: thanks for your help [00:30] gyaresu: yes, I had xp on it and it had problems [00:31] djcabz: can I ask some more questions with the general use of ubuntu [00:31] :\ [00:31] eltux: bing [00:31] kitche, don't know what that is but sounds like i should not mess with it. is it likt dr watson on windoze? [00:31] gyaresu: what? [00:32] misha: Have you had the wireless working at all. [00:32] angel__: fsck is like disk check on a bad shutdown [00:32] angel__: as far as the "missing" 2 GB, it might be the fact that computers measure in binary bytes (1 gb = 1024 mb) whereas hard drive manufacturers measure in janky bytes (1 gb = 1000 mb) [00:32] kitche, awesome [00:32] eltux: You should download memtest86+ and the seatools iso's and run them to start testing the hardware. (they are both tiny iso's by the way) [00:32] RyanPrior, no it says 2gb are in use [00:32] eltux: just to take the hardware out of the equation for root of problem. [00:32] gyaresu: links please :D [00:33] angel__: how big is the new drive? [00:33] !asound [00:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about asound - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:33] eltux: http://www.google.com/cse?cx=010627838012573663791:if_hpqkcyh0&cof=FORID:1&q=seatools&sa=Search [00:33] !sound asound [00:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about sound asound - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:33] urrr [00:33] eltux: 1024 mb) whereas hard drive manufacturers measure in janky bytes (1 gb = 1000 mb) [00:33] where can I find that file? [00:33] 1024 mb) whereas hard drive manufacturers measure in janky bytes (1 gb = 1000 mb) [00:33] gyaresu-> yep - I will try to explain it again: For example, in old laptops wireless card was switched off by a hardware switch (usually located in the front of the laptop) when the switch is turned off, the wireless card is turned off , thus it is not trying to transmit / find wireless networks and doesn't consume laptop battary [00:33] eltux: http://www.google.com/cse?cx=010627838012573663791:if_hpqkcyh0&cof=FORID:1&q=memtest86%2B&sa=Search [00:33] gyaresu: That's what you get for copy-pasting my comment! =P [00:33] are there any good Banshee skins out there> [00:34] misha: "in old laptops" ... [00:34] what is the best MP3 player for ubuntu? [00:34] hanophix33: Not an iPod. [00:34] hanophix33:i use xmms [00:34] whats a good program for mounting images as a cd/dvd? [00:34] misha: Have you had the wireless working at all. [00:34] AspiringSociopat: mount [00:34] hanophix33: xmms and or VLC [00:35] I figured xmms....I have a ZUNE, any luck with that? [00:35] AspiringSociopat: 'sudo mount /thing/stuff/blah.iso -o loop' [00:35] AspiringSociopat: 'sudo mount /thing/stuff/blah.iso /mnt/iso -o loop' [00:35] gyaresu-> IN my laptop - the witch i based on FN key (F6) in windows the wireless card is working (and the FN key is working) but when i switch the wireless card off in windows ubuntu stops recognizing it , (when i turn the wireless card on in windows - ubuntu recognizes it , and i can use it) [00:35] yes, linux has daemontools built in [00:35] okay i did that [00:35] gyaresu-> after reboot ofcourse [00:36] Pici, RyanPrior i can't create folders in the new mounted partition! [00:36] !sound [00:36] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [00:36] heh i got it = P [00:36] thank you [00:36] misha: Ok. So a 'yes' would have been fine. You need a program or some kind of text edit hack to get the funtion keys working on your laptop. [00:36] angel__: Do you own the root folder? [00:36] freewilly: what do you mean by daemontools since daemontools is not built into Linux [00:36] angel__: If not, you'll have to chown it. [00:36] kitche, it is supposed to be a 160gb but gparted says it is a 149gb abd that 2gb are in use [00:36] hehe i know [00:37] hello can some 1 help? [00:37] angel__: yeah the 2 gb might be reserved [00:37] Darkmystere_, ask a question [00:37] kitche: Daemontools is a program for Windows that lets you mount CD images, among other things. [00:37] !ask > Darkmystere_ [00:37] boa noite [00:37] alguem pode me ajudar? [00:37] if you come from windows its hard to believ that mounting images is so easy [00:37] !es | bomb [00:37] bomb: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [00:37] RyanPrior: that's the Window program not the Unix program [00:37] please [00:37] Ok I recently Downloaded new modueles its callledubuntu 7.10 2.6.22-14-rt [00:37] kitche: Correct.

[00:38] damit [00:38] !pt | bomb [00:38] bomb: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [00:38] how would i run a linux sh installer with write privlages? [00:38] and rebooted and now i cannot boot into ubuntu [00:38] angel__: The 2gb ensure that you'll never have to defragment your ext3 partition ever. :-) [00:38] why did you install that kernel, Darkmystere_ ? [00:38] AspiringSociopat: sudo ./thing.sh [00:38] Pici: I have a hard drive problem. On my sdb1 and sdb5, they are both fat32. i can write on both of them, and i can delete. but once i delete something, that space isnt freed up. What can i do? [00:38] it was an effort to solving my sound problem [00:38] Darkmystere_, get any error msg when you boot ? [00:38] RyanPrior, better yet i'll grant the ability to be written by anyone since i want other users to use it as well. how do i do that? [00:38] OD810, it runs? [00:38] i saw it in the fourms so i thought it was worth a try [00:38] !enter | Darkmystere_ [00:38] Darkmystere_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:38] mb press ctrl-H [00:38] god this is so confusing =( [00:39] & empty trash [00:39] angel__: First, figure out who it's owned by using ls -l [00:39] angel__: Then, if it's owned by root, change it to be owned by you. [00:39] what does it mean to own the root, and if hov too? [00:39] Darkmystere_, one problem at a time, you say you can't boot after an upgrade ? do you get any error messages ? [00:39] Pici: they are not available under trash for me to empty. [00:39] AspiringSociopat: Why? [00:39] gyaresu - > can you give me any web referance / forum to point me to a direction so solution please? (thanks a lot) [00:39] RyanPrior, root [00:39] Nope [00:39] donluigi: Check in a folder named .Trash on the devices. [00:39] all the differnt commands you must remmeber [00:40] misha: I'm reading/researching now. Please be patient. [00:40] thanks! [00:40] No i dont get an error dang i cant really see whats what [00:40] Darkmystere_, please use my nick when replhing to me [00:40] has anyone a cs46xx soundcard (fortissimo2) working with decent sound [00:40] Darkmystere_, ok descrive the boot as it goes,do you get as far as the boot menu ? [00:40] angel__: So, you'll need to chown it. chown means "change owner". If your username were "angel", the command to run would be "sudo chown angel:angel /the/folders/path" [00:40] Pelo I get no Error mEssage it just stays a black screen for ages usualy the hardrive light goes on and off until it gets to login screen [00:41] How do I become SUDO within gui? [00:41] Jymmm: gksudo [00:41] Darkmystere_, what is your videocard ? [00:41] RyanPrior, i want all users to see and play the media also open all the folders, each user can put their files there but only the owner can delete. how the hell do i do that [00:41] Jymm: Start the program from terminal doing Sudo SU then ur password if it asks [00:42] Pelo ATI Raedon [00:42] angel__: You can't do that with ext3. You'll need to use a more specialized filesystem, like the one from Netware. [00:42] su to root & start nautilus [00:42] RyanPrior: couldn't find it. [00:42] RyanPrior, lol, forget it. i'll make myself owner [00:42] !gksudo | Jymmm [00:42] Jymmm: 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) [00:42] Pici: I really appreciate your help. on sdb1 it worked like a charm [00:42] angel__: Actually, that's probably not true. I read your question wrong. You should still make yourself the owner, though. [00:43] Darkmystere_: I'm trying to drag and drop some things, not really execute anything [00:43] Jymm: go to the programs launcher and then right click push properties and see what command runs it then go to the terminal and use super user then run it [00:43] Pici: but on sda5 it said the folder does not exist [00:43] Jymmm: hit ALT+F2, type "gksudo nautilus", and you'll get a Nautilus file manager with sudo priviledges. [00:43] Darkmystere_, boot the recovery mode, then run the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , select the vesa driver, and for the rest just go with the default provided unless you absolutely know better, then restart the computer, this should get you the gui back, from there you can reinstall the restricted driver for your video card or the binairy if the restricted one doesn'T work for you [00:43] is there anyway to make the banshee music player a little more aesthetically [00:43] pleaseing [00:43] donluigi: if you know the names of the file(S) that you deleted you could try searching for them. [00:44] shadix, look into skinning it, check the banshee website [00:44] RyanPrior: ty [00:44] Pelo Is it possible to make another channel because its hard catching ur replys [00:44] Darkmystere_, jsut scroll up [00:44] Jymmm: Be careful, though. That file manager has the privileges to screw up your computer too, so close it as soon as you're done. :-) [00:44] Darkmystere_, boot the recovery mode, then run the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , select the vesa driver, and for the rest just go with the default provided unless you absolutely know better, then restart the computer, this should get you the gui back, from there you can reinstall the restricted driver for your video card or the binairy if the restricted one doesn'T work for you [00:44] can banshee even be skinned? it adopts the user theme afaik [00:44] Pelo: sometimes I just assume there isn't an easy way lol [00:45] Pelo Ok Writting it Down Usualy when i try to do Somthing like Startx it says command not found... [00:45] RyanPrior, pici, kitche , wols thanks guys. adding my new hard drive, securing it with ext3 and mounting it was a breeze! [00:45] khermans: valgrind seemingly cannot be connected to an already running process... [00:45] hi all , i get rare characters using wine in some applications, characters are squares, triangles, etc, somebody knows how to fix it ? [00:45] Darkmystere_, reconfigureing x should take care of it [00:45] djcabz, you could attach gdb if you like [00:45] Pici: nevermind, it worked now. Thanks! [00:45] Whats the most feature filled (best) hex editor for ubuntu === erik__ is now known as Eriky [00:46] Pici: I really want to thank you. You have been very helpful. I appreciate your time. [00:46] flyingsloths, what ever you can find in the repos [00:46] Ok This would be the second time ive had this kind of problem but defragging solved the first But not this time Thanks for ur Help ill be back if i succeed to thank u or if i dont ill be back [00:46] donluigi: Great to hear you got it to work well [00:46] angel__: You're welcome. As you gain skills like that, you too will be able to sit around in IRC rooms and help people with stuff. ;-) [00:46] Darkmystere_, are you trying to boot ubuntu or windows ? [00:46] khermans: gdb huh, keep in mind I'm a noob at debugging under linux. :) strace any easier than gdb ?> [00:46] RyanPrior, dude don't make me cry! [00:47] hey, does anyone here recommend using a firewall with ubuntu? [00:47] * angel__ sniffles with ahppiness [00:47] Pelo Ubuntu i can boot into windows Just fine But ive Spent week Personalizing and Customizing Ubuntu so im trying to avoid an Fresh Install [00:47] orionjoe, not unless you absolutely need to [00:47] somedy know about of IM Client.. with webcam support? [00:47] is it really necessary? [00:47] always recommend a firewall [00:47] djcabz, strace is for syscalls [00:47] ok, so should i use firestarter? [00:47] djcabz, i recommend ##c [00:47] Pelo Could u help me with my sound problem after i fix the GUI [00:47] gyaresu: I'm running memtest now [00:47] orionjoe, not as much as in windows, linux is pretty secure in that respect, but if you are running a server it might be wise [00:48] Darkmystere_, one problem at a time [00:48] mm, i'm not running a server [00:48] i also want to say how much i'm loving ubuntu! [00:48] 2025 files are now on my new HD! damn i am so happy i switched to linux! [00:48] orionjoe, Ive been running ubuntu for over ayear with not firewall and I have had no issues, I am a home user [00:48] khermans: I was really hoping this was a known issue. compiz.real has a memory leak, and it is connected to some screen saver. but I understand this is a first??? [00:48] What does touch do? [00:48] orionjoe: The default Ubuntu install does not have any ports open on its firewall, so you are automatically protected by Linux's built-in firewall module. [00:48] If you are not behind a hardware firewall it sounds like a good idea to me, but you can do without on a linux desktop system [00:48] orionjoe, sucking up with not help [00:48] connected == related too [00:49] when i was running windows i could never network with my wife's comp [00:49] i'm not sucking up :P [00:49] djcabz, did you check launchpad ?

[00:52] k, i'm off to find some tutorials :D [00:52] later all [00:52] misha: The only thing I can find is 'keytouch'. Try installing that to see if it gives you control over the function keys. I can't find any links where it seems to be a problem.http://www.linlap.com/wiki/Configuring+the+ipw3945+driver+for+the+Intel+3945ABG+wireless+controller [00:52] is there a performance difference betwwen making my shares at home all use samba over nfs?

[00:54] 80 c cpucore temp [00:54] yes [00:54] can anyone find out whether I'm using BitchX or XChat? [00:54] dvlkiss, look into cpufreq http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty [00:54] misha: No problem. Not sure it's going to work though. It might be some quirk of just your install. [00:54] hi... I have tried some update but at linux-image.2.6.blablabla package some error had happened... after all "close" buttons was pressed, my system turns locked... after restart.... dammmnn Error 16 at grub load.... plz how could I get my system back without reinstall everything? [00:54] mind_, we can if we version you [00:54] sorry about my english... [00:54] hebbe: Assuming your username was hebbe, the command would be "sudo chown hebbe:hebbe /the/path/to/the/file" [00:54] khermans: so true... but I have to reboot now cause the system is slowing down way too much to be "fun"... again thanks [00:54] Pelo, can you do that please? === Ttech is now known as W6JCN [00:55] mind_: are you usign a gui irc client or not? [00:55] mind_ in a terminal type 'ps ax | grep chat' [00:55] thnx pelo [00:55] mind_, -mind_- VERSION xchat 0.18 Linux 2.6.22-14-generic [i686] [00:55] ok shal try that [00:55] reboot... CTRL+DEL+BACKSPACE :) [00:55] stonedjay: Do you still have the option to boot other kernels when it starts? [00:55] Pelo nice [00:55] Pelo: thank you for the fast answer [00:56] is pidgin the same as gain? [00:56] I can't uninstall mysql in dapper. Any ideas? [00:56] err gaim [00:56] AspiringSociopat yes [00:56] AspiringSociopat: aye. [00:56] AspiringSociopat:: pidgin is the lastest version of gaim [00:56] k [00:56] yes it's the same [00:56] AspiringSociopat: pidgin is the new name for gaim [00:56] AspiringSociopat:yes [00:56] AspiringSociopat: Pidgin is the evolution of Gaim. The Gaim community decided to drop the name. [00:56] Pelo i couldnt find the paper but it had somthing to do wth not finding /home/root/root.disk/ [00:56] ahh okay [00:56] AspiringSociopat, pigdin is the new gaim [00:56] gyaresu, nope... It always boot one from the first install [00:56] I used the Wubi Alpha the latest minefield for Ubuntu 7.10 [00:56] yeah the aim part was kinda cheesy [00:56] Gaim has a nice interface :\ [00:56] Hey I need help installing my Wireless Card. It is a Netgear WPN311 that worked out of the box and then randomly stopped working. [00:56] Haha! That's one of those bikeshed questions. Everybody knows the answer so everybody jumps in. [00:56] reminded me of aol [00:57] I am installing ubuntu on the pc next to me with the alternative cd and its hanging at the Select and install software part at 6%. The cd's checksum is correct and there are no defects on it. so now what do I do? [00:57] stonedjay: Yes but when you restart is there the option to boot a different kernel? [00:57] stonedjay, it is possible that your grub menu got reset when you added the new kernel, from the grub menu on start up select the kernel you want to boot, type E for edit select the root line and type E for edit chang the root (hd0,0) line to reflect the location of the kernel in que3siton, this is only a temporary solution, you will have to edit menu.lst to make it pernament [00:57] eltux, kill it and try again? [00:57] of course when I said CTRL+DEL+BACKSPACE I meant CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE :) [00:57] javid: I have several times now [00:57] I deleted something from an external drive, and it went in my wastebasket on the computer, now I get an I/O error whenever I try emptying the basket =( [00:57] eltux: Try a memory test to see if there's a problem there. === W6JCN is now known as Ttech [00:57] I'm going to erase ubuntu from my harddisk and replace it. are there any other folders than $home that I should backup before proceeding? [00:57] AspiringSociopat, besides cheesy aol was gonna sue their asses [00:57] how do i install this gaim-xfire-0.6.0 third party plugin for pidgin? [00:57] RyanPrior, is nfs faster than samba? [00:58] Darkmystere_, is this when you boot the recovery mode to reconfigure x like I told you to do ? === Ttech is now known as W6JCN [00:58] RyanPrior: I just did, it ran twice and passed both times [00:58] eltux:how old is the comp and what r the specs? [00:58] Shapeshifter: that depends on how you [00:58] eltux, alt-f8 should have a log of what's happening, if you're lucky there'll be a clue there [00:58] Shapeshifter you might want to copy /etc/network/interfaces if you have your wifi and ethernet configured [00:58] you should check the harddisk [00:58] angel__: I'm not sure. However, NFS is better suited for sharing files between unix systems. samba is for Windows networking. [00:58] eltux: *cough did you run the seatools... [00:58] Second [00:58] gyaresu: no........ [00:58] i love compiz and the linosx theme [00:58] th0r: allright, good to know, anything else maybe? [00:58] eltux: Try with a different motherboard. Perhaps it's shot. [00:59] eltux: mmm hmm. [00:59] Shapeshifter: configured your system. All user data is stored in home, but general application configurations and the configurations itself is stored elsewhere. [00:59] look and feel like a mac [00:59] eltux, shame on you, not listening to gyaresu [00:59] Shapeshifter your gonna do a reinstall, right? [00:59] nickrud: I did! :o [00:59] th0r: I'm gonna replace ubuntu with Archlinux [00:59] AspiringSociopat, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=226456&page=6 [00:59] Pelo, ok, Ill try, but... I think the new kernel wasnt installed as well by this tried update... any problem with that? Can I recover the first one? [00:59] Shapeshifter: Arch linux is very nice. Good luck with that. [01:00] joerlend, Shapeshifter, user preferences are also stored in home [01:00] When ubuntu loads up it shutdown 20 seconds later how come. [01:00] th0r: but I guess $home is all I need then. thanks [01:00] eltux, heh :) I don't have a clue on what he's talking about, but he knows more than I do [01:00] stonedjay, the previous kernels should be available in the boot menu [01:00] Shapeshifter then the interfaces file might not be usable...don't know archlinux. But that would probably be all I would worry about .... /home and interfaces [01:00] hi [01:00] Where Russian Ubuntu? [01:00] Hi everyone! [01:00] tks...

[01:03] XxValetexX: you can't really unless you reflash the bios but even then it might not take it [01:03] I think so, inoodle. [01:03] XxValetexX: There is probably a reset button on the motherboard. [01:03] XxValetexX: Ask in ##hardware, not #ubuntu please, it is offtopic for this channel.

Please ask in ##windows [01:04] ok [01:04] you must find the perfect modeline [01:04] steve__11: I don't understand. You have an .iso file and you want to ....

[01:05] you have to find it once, en back it up [01:05] nickrud: isn't that what the modeline is setting? [01:05] AspiringSociopat: Haha. Wine is getting fixed and broken constantly.

[01:09] zeld: #web might have better answers. :-) [01:09] sdb seems to be referring to a drive - perhaps non existent or bad data block? [01:09] ok [01:09] gyaresu, ya now i have all enabled even jellow efffects but on live cd there was no jellow just medium and it had same problem...now i have all off to c if itll avoid problem [01:09] thanks Rabbitbunny [01:09] thats what i thought [01:09] gyaresu, but its rely random, it could work for 2 days or just for like 10 min [01:09] tom__ if i want ubuntu to save the preference for all files of the type for example pdf [01:10] inertial_, yes, according to http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide#Monitor_detection_.281680x1050_Resolution_Issue.29 , fglrx doesn't detect your monitor correctly, and fglrx doesn't use mode lines after 8.30 [01:10] Johnson_: yeah it will remember that.

[01:10] but whats weird is i tried installing 6.06 on this machine too and that doesn't work either [01:10] just hangss [01:10] iNOODLE: Doesn't seem to work because I'm actually using xubuntu; it's not that big a deal though [01:10] nvidia has less probl w linux [01:10] inertial_, the 'doesn't use modelines' I've found a couple of refs, but not definitive ones [01:10] deniz_: So you are now not using desktop effects. You are using the gnome desktop and everything is normal for about 10min (or so) then you can't click anything and the mouse moves erraticly? [01:10] I was pretty sure I'd installed all the codecs for my totem movie player but now when I try to play off some videos They're bugged, with green lines here and there.. and ubuntu doesnt recommend any new codecs either.. it just plays it off.. What do I do? [01:10] doctajoyce: Have you tried the alternate CD? [01:11] no [01:11] i wasn't sure if i should try the alt or xubuntu [01:11] doctajoyce: I'd definately give it a go. Its more robust than the Desktop CD [01:11] gyaresu, the mouse moves normally and it could be either 10 min or like 2 days the stop working symptom is rely rely random [01:11] doctajoyce: well, even if you want xubuntu, grab the xubuntu alternate CD [01:11] Wips: install w32codecs if legal where you live.

[01:11] deniz_: Have you tried another window manager? xfcd/kde/fluxbox etc. ? [01:11] no bc its old would acpi cause a glitch [01:11] hi there - I'm running 7.04 and I have a 7.10 CD... can I used the 7.10 CD to upgrade from 7.04 ? [01:11] what is the best mp3 player for gnome? now i am using banshee [01:12] Pandemic187, it didn't work for me either but I am on hardy, if you use xubuntu try that chat room [01:12] (both are 32 bit x86 desktop) [01:12] steve__11 I like it [01:12] i should've broken that into 2 Qs' [01:12] gyaresu, ya i think only xfce dint cause that problem [01:12] steve__11: You can install multiple managers and just try them all with no ill effect. [01:12] Right, that one's a bit dead though [01:12] ok then i should be good...alright well im going to try it ! [01:12] elita: only the alternate CD can be used to upgrade (with desktop, you can only reinstall) [01:12] wish me luck! [01:12] gyaresu, but a long long time ago [01:12] tom__: It says the package aint available, but that another package refers to it.

I would really like to have a half decent resolution [01:12] gyaresu, and it dint have this problem AT ALL [01:12] Wips: enable all repositories [01:12] Flannel, hmm... is that in a special place? Because I didn't see it as an option to download from Ubuntu's "download now" page [01:13] deniz_: Then you might need to re-install metacity. GUI problems are not really my area though. [01:13] so what do you think would be better wtih and old machine xubuntu or the regular version [01:13] how can i get accsess to my usb harddisk, I get no accsess "have no read rights"?

[01:19] jinxed-: Ok, I see, well, I suggest searching the forums for "geforce 6600" there are a ton of articles [01:19] angel__: If you don't get an answer here, you could try asking in ##linux [01:19] grout: then enable widget layer in compiz [01:19] Nubbie: I will take a look thanks [01:19] okay another questions assuming alt xubuntu takes care of it [01:19] angel__: there is symlinks [01:19] RyanPrior, thanks [01:19] nubbie: how do i enable that? [01:19] grout: install ccsm [01:19] deniz_: No easy way. But you can set the first wireless card on laptop with lan or pppoe or whatever to be an AP. [01:19] i have a linksys wusb11 wifi card on this anyone have exp with it [01:19] silly question, what's the mouse gesture to move from one workspace to another? i keep doing it from time to time but have no idea what i've done, using ubuntu 7.10 [01:20] www.screenlets.org, grout, will have links to actual screenlets at gnome-look as well [01:20] ok, i just installed xp on a seperate partition. I was able to get grub back up but it lacks a Windows XP option. How can I add this? (P.S. sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst and add an option but dont know what to put for kernel) [01:20] kitche, yeah but i don't want it to be symbolic. i wanr all my apps to see it as if it where the real thing [01:20] scrollwheel on desktop [01:20] angel__: then hardlink is the only way to go [01:20] hi @ll [01:21] iNOOdle: is there a deb for it? [01:21] gyaresu, wats AP? and laptop has usb wireless device and desktop has a pci one....i no i can do this with firestarter but im getting problems and ive been tryin it for months now [01:21] kitche, but i though i could not hard link a directory? [01:21] lucian: Someone (with a clue) recommended supergrub yesterday. I've not used it but they swear by it. http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/ [01:21] yes grout, not sure if it is in gutsy repo [01:21] alright PurpZeY thanks for the help... i shall see what i can find [01:21] where i can find a wireless function in ubuntu 7.10 ? [01:22] deniz_: what connects to the net then? [01:22] you will find it at www.screenlets.org, grody [01:22] hi all geeks [01:22] oops grout [01:22] gyaresu, winmodem that has a driver from dell (HSF modem) [01:22] hey [01:22] gyaresu, i have dial-up [01:22] I know it is in the repo for hardy [01:22] gyaresu: thanks.. thats actually what i used via cd to boot back in to ubuntu and restore grub [01:22] i have a really dumb question [01:22] how do i execute a program? [01:22] lucian: No option to add xp? [01:22] kitche, my new HD has 3 directories, one of them being Music. rhythmbox and other apps switch from ~/Music to /mnt/MMedia/Music due to the fact they are "symbolic" links. [01:22] i am not geek, i am greek [01:22] sputty01: what programs? [01:22] Hi i have a question about installing Simple DirectMedia Layer 1.2 in Gutsy. I get an " Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libsdl1.2debian" but I downloaded this and when I installed it the same version was already there. [01:23] i downloaded a keygen and its just like.. a file [01:23] lol@ dvlkiss [01:23] not packaged or anything [01:23] !piracy | sputty01 [01:23] sputty01: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [01:23] gyaresu: not on the version i was using.. it is however an older version [01:23] i set it to be executable [01:23] sputty01: run it in a terminal [01:23] lucian: only about 6 meg I think :) [01:23] #banshee [01:23] and type in the name in terminal but nothing happens [01:23] oops/j #bansee [01:23] is there any way to install an older version of a packagae? like the ATI 7.11 drivers instead of 7.12? or do i have to do it manually [01:23] sputty01: are you entering the full path? [01:23] wow embarrassing [01:23] Hello there, Um is there any way to install Ubuntu on my hdd without burning it onto to a disk maybe open the .iso file on desktop? [01:23] sputty01, NO piracy in #ubuntu. EOD [01:24] Nubbie: running file from questionable sources in a terminal. very very bright idea! [01:24] sputty01: you are typing ./executablename [01:24] lol shadix [01:24] yes holy diver [01:24] deniz_: Gonna be a little complex unless the networking gui has improved drastically. (which it may have) [01:24] Hello. I have trying to find in /dev the files that correspond to mouse and keyboard. i went to /dev/input/ and trying cat(ing) mouse0, mice, ts0 but none of them worked, didn't get a respond. My mouse and my keyboard works just fine though! [01:24] wols: easy to kill it that way. [01:24] sputty01: reinstall your OS [01:24] that i actually know [01:24] docta: how? [01:24] wolferine, pardon? [01:24] gah [01:24] wols, pardon? [01:24] [01:54:12] hi all. im having a strange problem: i rent a new server, with larger discs and better hardware. i used partimage to save and restore the old disks on the new server. the old discs were arround 150GB each. the new server has 2 750GB HDDs. my problem is this: http://main.freakyy.de/cfdisk.txt http://main.freakyy.de/df.txt as you can see, cfdisk shows me 2 750GB HDDs but df -h shows me arround 140GB partitions. which are not shown in [01:24] cfdisk. what is wrong[01:54:12] anyone got any idea how i can fix that? or ... what is the best solution to fix that as fast as possible? resizing is useless somehow ... as it just ... doesnt work because parted doesnt show such small partitions [01:24] Nubbie: please don't give anyone ANY advice. you are not qualified for it [01:24] gyaresu, firestarter is very easy to use but it seems to find wlan0 not active (i guess thats my wireless card) [01:24] wols: why is he reinstalling his OS? [01:24] did ubotu just message everyone else too? [01:24] kdubois, nope, just you. [01:25] ahh! === juan is now known as Xbehave [01:25] wubi does it [01:25] thanks kdubois [01:25] wols: excuse me? [01:25] deniz_: Yes. you'll need to manually set the ip/subnet/gateway(modem machine) and change routing on the modem machine to allow access. [01:25] 7.10 desktop has a shitty version of it [01:25] !language | doctajoyce [01:25] how do you unmount from the command line? [01:25] Nubbie, wols is no longer in the channel [01:25] doctajoyce: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [01:25] but there is a better version available [01:25] i own the software in windows.. but i cant be bothered to request a linux key thats all [01:25] gyaresu: sea tools passed [01:25] docta: how? [01:25] is there any way to downgrade a package? [01:25] PriceChild: yeah i noticed thanks lol [01:25] deniz_: /etc/sysctrl.conf etc. [01:26] well [01:26] inertial_: in synaptic you can specify which version to use. [01:26] eltux: Ubuntu alt install right? [01:26] let me find the site [01:26] gyaresu: yes [01:26] gyaresu, can u tell me step by step wat to do? and b4 u do if u do....r u sure this will work? [01:26] deniz_: No. It would be too hard. Sorry. [01:26] hey [01:26] Nubbie: ok i'll try to work out how to do that.. [01:27] eltux: old cdrom? got another drive handy? [01:27] gyaresu, wat would be hard, telling me wat to do? [01:27] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide [01:27] deniz_: Yes. No offence but it's not simple. [01:27] how do i install something ive compiled on my desktop to my laptop? [01:27] inertial_: right click a package, properties, version, select the one you want. [01:27] gyaresu, a guide on the internet that i can follow that u approve of? [01:27] sorry, im going to ask again: if a package cannot be installed because a dependency is not *satisfiable*, but the dependency is on the computer, what can be done to resolve the error msg and install the pkg? [01:27] gyaresu: I just burned the cdrom today and the drive came out of my newest computer and it works fine [01:27] Nubbie: oh.. and if there's only one version listed then there's not much i can do? [01:27] eltux: ah. [01:28] kikabola: What package what dependecy? [01:28] I've got a bit of an irritating problem with ubuntu/nvidia/multiple displays/wine... anyone got a second to help me out? [01:28] eltux: So it get's through partitioning and starts to install or just select packages? [01:28] inertial_: that means the version you want is not in repositories. you can install it manually if you choose. [01:28] inertial_: ie: finding a deb of the version you want. === W6JCN is now known as Ttech [01:28] docta: thx [01:28] noo problem [01:29] i know 7.10 has a weaker version of it on the cd [01:29] gyaresu: it installs the basic system and partitions alright but when it gets to the Install additional software or whatever it hangs at 6% [01:29] PurpZeY: pkg = libsdl-image1.2, dependency = libsdl1.2debian [01:29] instead of burning the cd you can mount it with daemon tools [01:29] then open up the cd and run it [01:29] kikabola: Why not install the package via snyaptic? === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:30] has flash non-free been fixed in repos ? [01:30] PurpZeY: k ill try it [01:30] eltux: got two sticks of ram in yes? [01:30] after a crash that destroyed my firefox settings I finally said to hell with windows(was using Ubuntu on another system) and fully switched over... but I can't seem to get the video stuff right [01:30] x-X-x, read the topic [01:30] this should be simple, but using apt-get to install rubygems isn't working. do i need to do anything other than enable the universe source? [01:30] gyaresu: no just one that is supposed to be 256mb [01:30] using 4 monitors [01:30] does anyone have any experience with installing Ubuntu 7.10 on a machine with a Geforce 6150 ? [01:30] eltux: I ask because you're getting to silly fix time. Low level format would also be on the list. [01:31] I've got a GeForce 6200 [01:31] low level format = last ditch attempt. [01:31] Kunin: was it one built onto a MB ? [01:31] nope [01:31] you try using Envy to install the drivers? [01:31] gyaresu: mind elaborating that so I can understand that? [01:31] eltux: You've got the latest version of stable right? Try the daily build. That's helped me before with both old and new machines. [01:32] when I run LiveCD it only gives me 800x600 resolution with the nv driver [01:32] seems like it does not detect my monitor [01:32] docta: I think u understood me wrong I want to install ubuntu like the normal version, I just can't burn cd's cause my nero keeps giving me error's. [01:32] Carbonflux: which live cd? [01:32] carbon flux i use a 7300 go which sucks but you should be able to find the drivers in the repos if not try "envy" [01:32] PurpZey: its not listed in the synaptic... I am trying to install VLC and got an error that others have been able to resolve by downloading and installing the libsdl-image1.2 but for some reason I cant [01:32] carbonflux [01:32] evening everyone [01:32] the Ubuntu 7.10 [01:32] standard one [01:32] mine did the same, but after I installed everything I used Envy to get the right drivers in there [01:32] gyaresu: so how am I supposed to get the daily build iso? [01:32] . o (shouldnt need envy with ubu 7.10) [01:32] I used the same CD to install 7.10 on a machine with a Geforce 5150 ultra [01:32] my problem, I assume, is due to the Quadro NVS 250 I have as well as the 6200 [01:32] and it worked fine [01:33] Carbonflux: it could be a driver issue. [01:33] when ubuntu 8 out ? [01:33] . o (not unless the restricted driver manager isnt detecting anything) [01:33] 5950 ultra* [01:33] xx>> 8.04 will be out on april [01:33] of 08 [01:33] hence the 8.04 [01:33] restricted driver manager is crappy... everything dies if I use it, heh [01:33] eltux: just trying to find link now. [01:33] 2008.04.## [01:33] debian is the beta any good ? [01:33] My command line vim is crawling on startup. I tried fc-cache, but that did not change it. Using 7.10, with kubuntu [01:33] well, I guess I should just install it then and see if switching to the nvidia driver helps [01:33] xx >> idk, i havent tried it yet [01:33] it looks like what it needs is a mode line [01:33] x-X-x: there is no beta. [01:33] debian k [01:33] xx >> havent really had the time :( [01:34] x-X-x not yet. [01:34] nubbie i thought there was [01:34] gyaresu: I would need the alternative cd. live cd's don't work for this pc that I'm installing it on [01:34] does banshee have a IRC chan? [01:34] eltux: aye. [01:34] Nubbie oh ok my bad then [01:34] still alpha x-Dieu [01:34] any time I try to start up wine(even just winecfg) it gives me: X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) [01:34] x-X-x: it's alpha 2. [01:34] x-X-x: The alpha is out, yes. alpha 2. More support and stuff in #ubuntu+1, but : http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/alpha-2/ [01:34] criminy: try #vim is the problem is specific to vim === fadedlight is now known as UltraCoolLXFBot [01:35] Nubbie Flannel u tried it is it any good ? [01:35] x-X-x: alpha meaning very unstable, not ready for installation. it's for testing and debugging purposes. [01:35] I plugged in my thumb drive on a fresh install and it says I can't change the permissions because it's read only. i unmount it, unplug it, and plug it back in and it just doesn't show up. I tried opening gparted...and it wont even open (god only knows why) and I have no clue what the heck is going on. Can anyone help? [01:35] I am on it now, x-X-x === UltraCoolLXFBot is now known as redbrick [01:35] if I go back to legacy drivers(via Envy) wine works fine... but one of my 4 monitors stays black(happens to be the main one, so I can't login) [01:35] iNOODLE any trouble ? [01:35] x-X-x, but you shouldn't use it and expect to have no issues [01:35] charles87: I imagine the vim people are less friendly to problems that may be obvious to them, but thanks =P [01:35] x-X-x: Nope. Ask in #ubuntu+1, its offtopic here. [01:35] I haven't had any trouble yet, x-X-x [01:35] especially since its in alpha [01:35] iN00DLE: is it running gnome 2.22 development? [01:36] edit /etc/fstab === redbrick is now known as breadbasket [01:36] i luv ubuntu [01:36] could the problem be related to running 32bit Ubuntu on a AMD 64bit machine ? [01:36] cant stop using it since i migrated from windows [01:36] Carbonflux: no that should not be an issue. [01:36] crimini: ah ok, just tried to help ^^ [01:36] 2.21 Nubbie [01:36] doubt it, I'm doing the same [01:36] any help on installing rubygems? should i just do it by hand rather than use apt-get? [01:36] anyone know if zune works with ubuntu? [01:36] Carbonflux: AMD64 has absolutely no issues executing 32bit code. [01:36] 64bit ubuntu didn't play nice with my setup... so I went back to 32 [01:37] Nubbie: ty [01:37] dave__: did you try plugging it in? [01:37] Carbonflux, I have installed on AMD64 without any problem [01:37] no its not mine, a friends just curious [01:37] dave >> try plugging it in, then type dmesg | tail to see what ubu does [01:37] xobius: did your machine have on board video on the MB ? [01:38] Nubbie: heh, had to ask its my first 64bit linux machine :) [01:38] Carbonflux, No, but there isn't any change [01:38] ok thanks :) [01:38] Carbonflux, what's your problem? [01:38] hey guys, is there any way to run windows on top of ubuntu 7.10 without buying VMWARE? [01:38] buy vmware? [01:38] like, are there any packages I can install to allow that? [01:38] I use it for free... [01:38] e-u >> virtualbox? [01:39] !vm | e-uoaphys [01:39] e-uoaphys: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [01:39] Actually, vim was linked to vim.gtk, even though I was just using the terminal. Semi-ubuntu issue, I'm guessing. [01:39] e-u >> dont try installing windows via wine just fyi, it doesnt work [01:39] yea debian I know [01:39] xobius: its not detecting the resolutions available when I run liveCD, I can only set it to 800x600 [01:39] e-u >> you could also use parallels workstation, but there extremely slow and cost [01:39] wine is for app emulation [01:39] debian: Sounds like you speak from experience..;) [01:39] wine is my last problem to fix... then I can be 100% wher eI need to be [01:39] virtualbox is nice [01:39] is there a free vmware package for unbuntu 7.1? [01:39] e-uoaphys, vmware server is also an option. If you don't require good graphics performance. [01:39] its a bit slow, but hey its free right? [01:39] I plugged in my thumb drive on a fresh install and it says I can't change the permissions because it's read only. i unmount it, unplug it, and plug it back in and it just doesn't show up. I tried opening gparted...and it wont even open (god only knows why) and I have no clue what the heck is going on. Can anyone help? [01:40] the major seller for me is that it was int he repo. [01:40] anybody here use elisa media center? [01:40] Carbonflux, What video card have your MB? [01:40] all i had to do was "sudo apt-get" install the thing [01:40] ok virtualbox works right then ehh [01:40] xobius: well, I have 2gig of ram so I told the bios to give it 256 meg [01:40] eltux: Sorry. I think the daily builds might only be for the current version. 8.01 [01:40] how do I fix: X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) [01:40] when running winecfg? I know it's something to do with my drivers [01:40] does windows get installed on a seperate partition, or ont a file on disk? [01:40] xobius: sorry, its qa geforce 6150 [01:40] tofaffy: I have no idea the veracity of this, but someone was saying yesterday to defrag it.....I have no idea if that is logical, valuable or valid...Just something someone said to someone with a similar problem yesterday [01:40] angel_: yeah elisa's awesome. [01:40] its a* [01:41] gyaresu: I couldn't really care anymore, all I want to do with this system is use it as a game server [01:41] tofaffy >> type dmesg | tail and dump the output [01:41] here [01:41] e-uoaphys, there is a subforum on virtualization on ubuntuforums.org plenty of info there. You are not the first one to do try this. [01:41] one moment debian, thanks for helping. [01:41] yw [01:41] also, running windows XP Pro, the main thing I need is the ability to run MS Access reliably (don't care to do it under WINE, afraid of bugs) so i figure a VM plus XP plus ms office is the best choice [01:41] Carbonflux, are you using the live cd now? [01:41] vocx: ok thanks man [01:41] okay, seriously. "sudo apt-get install ruby" doesn't install rdoc? it doesn't install irb? [01:41] debian: http://pastebin.com/m3a274ffa [01:42] xobius: yes, just loading it again right now, I decided to try it with 128 meg just for grins [01:42] e-uoaphys: try openoffice [01:42] tofaffy >> ok one sec, brb [01:42] is there another site like gnome-look.org? [01:42] usr13: I did, i only need ms access for a couple specific databases at work [01:42] eltux: Have you looked at minimal installations: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#head-59d90d26191eb3f0e6fd17b48605bbedfb514f86 [01:42] Carbonflux, open the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:42] "apt-cache search irb" just shows me ruby1.8, which is already installed. anyone have any suggestions? [01:42] and the forms and reports are too complex to re-write in openoffice [01:42] no I haven't gyaresu [01:42] e-uoaphys: so install XP Pro in a virtual machine. [01:42] xobius: ok, its still booting, I will open it first thing [01:42] e-uoaphys: Ok, very good. [01:43] Using Ubuntu 7.10-- Attempting to add a bunch of pictures into a collage and then use that as a background-- What program could i use for this collage??? [01:43] e-uoaphys: Just making sure you've tried it. [01:43] Nubbie: yea that is what i plan to do, just was asking about the easiest/best VM in ubuntu basically [01:43] eltux: 9.1MB minimal install disc :) [01:43] MrDinkles: TheGimp ? [01:43] xobius: can I alter the xorg file when running liveCD? [01:43] tofaffy >> type "sudo mkdir /media/sdb1" [01:43] e-uoaphys, virtualbox for starters, no doubt about it. Should you need a lot of stuff then you may have to buy VMWare. [01:43] eventualbuddha: you may need the -dev package. [01:43] kk, debian [01:43] e-uoaphys: i would support qemu. [01:43] Nubbie, how do i set it up so that it takes the whole screen for a true media center expirience [01:44] tofaffy >> when your done let me know ok [01:44] "Nubbie: ruby1.8-dev is already the newest version" [01:44] got it, debian [01:44] also, do any of you know how to get ubuntu to allow you to login to either a windows domain, or a LDAP server, because at work that is how all the windows boxes are setup and we have portable passwords for that, was wondering if its possible to do in ubuntu without editing 20 files [01:44] Carbonflux: Yes, you can alter the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file when running LiveCD [01:44] PurpZeY: ya, i have that, just was lost at how to add pics-- thought maybe it was able to add different pictures-- [01:44] tofaffy >> now type "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1" [01:44] angel__: edit the configuration file to enable full screen [01:44] I went on the forums and only saw some how-to's where you must edit a LOT of stuff and troubleshoot a lot just to get it working [01:44] Carbonflux, No, but you should see what driver is using [01:44] gyaresu: I'll try it and tell ya what happens [01:44] PurpZeY: Have you tried it before?? it can add diff pics right? [01:44] tofaffy > and if it sais anything, dump it into the pastebin [01:44] got it, debian [01:44] eltux: I'm interested so please do. [01:44] MrDinkles: It can definitely do what you are describing. [01:44] I'm trying to load voices into ur-quan masters, anyone know how to do that? [01:45] orionjoe: what is ur-quan? [01:45] it's a game [01:45] ok, its using the nv driver xobius [01:45] How can I get it so when I pause the sound that it also pauses the surround sound speakers? [01:45] Carbonflux, and what resolutions have seted? [01:45] tofaffy >did you type in the command? [01:45] orionjoe: for something as specific as that i would ask the developers of that game. [01:45] PurpZeY: Thanks alot for both the advise and quick response ^^ [01:45] well, i guess i need to know how to add a package [01:45] No worries === tofaffy|ghost is now known as KI4IKL [01:46] orionjoe: sudo apt-get install [01:46] orionjoe: apt-get [01:46] i generated a .deb file with the ati installer, is there a way to load it through synaptic now so i can remove it easilly later? [01:46] and how do i know the package name? [01:46] orionjoe: or Synaptic Package Manager [01:46] debian, I think my irssi terminal froze, I got the mount done. [01:46] orionjoe: is there another package? perhaps something like ur-quon-data or ur-quon-extras or something similar? [01:46] orionjoe: Search. [01:46] it's called uqm-voice [01:47] ok === KI4IKL is now known as tofaffy [01:47] orionjoe: Use synaptic to find the package and install it that way, or search using apt-cache search [01:47] inertial_: DOn't know about that but the same thing on the command line is 'sudo dpkg -i thing.deb' [01:47] inertial_, you'd have to use dpkg to install, but then you can use synaptic to remove. [01:47] orionjoe: apt-cache search keywordhere [01:47] xobius: its interesting, it finds my card name correct and my modes line has all the supported resolutions but when I open the app to change the resolution the max one it gives me is 800x600 [01:47] ok, i'll try it [01:47] KI>now type "sudo nautilus /media/sda1" [01:47] Carbonflux, it isn't using propetary NVidia Driver. it is using open NV driver [01:47] orionjoe: or search option in Synaptic Package Manager (GUI) [01:47] yes === jasay__ is now known as jasay [01:47] I did apt-get remove, on all the sun java 6 packages, and then did apt-get install on the sun java 5 packages, and all the symlinks in /etc/alternatives got broken. Then I reverted by to sun java6 and they are still broken. When I do apt-get remove, whey isn't it cleaning out all the symlinks? [01:47] inertial_, synaptic can install things from repos only [01:47] debain: gksu nautilus should be used. [01:48] sorry [01:48] err debian you DO Mean sdb1, aye? [01:48] gksu nautils /media/sda1 [01:48] :) [01:48] or shoot sorry [01:48] hello, would anyone like to help me with installing XFree86-DRI on gutsy [01:48] okay got that debian :)_ [01:48] sudo nautilus /media/sdb1 [01:48] /msg ubotu flash [01:48] debian, gksudo has been setup to have /root as home, avoids the possibility of writing configs as root to a user's home [01:48] How do I fix a "Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" Error? [01:48] ok, the readme for uqm says this: Instead, there is an apt repository at uqm.debian.net that has these [01:48] packages in it. It is maintained by the same person who maintains the uqm [01:48] packages in Debian. To use the apt repository, add this line to your [01:48] /etc/apt/sources.list: [01:48] deb http://uqm.debian.net/ unstable/ [01:48] MartianLobster: Possibly needed to 'apt-get purge' [01:48] Hi, Whenever i try enabling Compiz, i get that Composition isn't enabled :/ I've installed the latest ATI drivers [01:49] ok did it bring up nautilus tofaffy? [01:49] Carbonflux, perhaps your vcard ins't work with NVidria drivers [01:49] i'm not sure what that means :P [01:49] aye, debian [01:49] WorkingOnWise: read hte MOTD, flash is temporarily broken. [01:49] i just installed ubuntu on my LG laptop and it freeze often (random but happens around every 30-20 minutes) and i have to reset my computer, how can i start investigate what's causing it(i assume alot of things could cause this)? [01:49] thanks gyaresu and nickrud [01:49] gyaresu: ok I will give that a shot [01:49] wine + Xinerama... not working so well, anyone know how to make it work? [01:49] xobius: I think its a problem with the card talking to the monitor, the monitor might be too old or something [01:49] notlloyd, depends on what other errors occured before, do sudo apt-get -f install in a terminal , and put the results on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [01:49] elius: paste your dmesg to a pastebin [01:49] elius: Exact model of laptop. [01:49] orionjoe: Debian repositories should NOT be used for ubuntu [01:49] nickrud, roger [01:49] elius: is it a kernel panic? [01:50] I have xubuntu and im trying to get network printing working to a SAMBA printer. Having trouble. [01:50] ok...don't know what that means :( [01:50] Ehh, debian still there?

[01:50] how do i open a window with admin permitions ie. to copy past something ot Gnomescreensaver [01:50] angel__: did you get it fixed and working? [01:50] tof^^ [01:50] Hi, Whenever i try enabling Compiz, i get that Composition isn't enabled :/ I've installed the latest ATI drivers [01:50] yepp [01:50] elius: that's probably not a kernel panic [01:50] elius: the mouse would be frozen too [01:50] well, i'll see if there's an uqm irc room [01:51] elius: it may be an issue with compiz then. try disabling effects. [01:51] i'm gonna do a fresh install [01:51] thanks anyways [01:51] nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50914/ [01:51] Carbonflux, I don't remember but I it is [01:51] ok right click on teh blank space in nautilus - > click properties - > click permissions [01:51] debian, yes i'm still in nautilus [01:51] elius: try pressing ctrl alt f1 [01:51] then where it says "others" [01:51] Nubbie: thanks i'll try that [01:51] look next to folder access [01:51] make sure it sais "Create and Delete Files" [01:51] Carbonflux, have you installed any Linux distribution before? [01:51] if it doesnt say that, then select it [01:51] then next [01:51] look at file access [01:51] !ubotu compiz [01:51] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [01:51] notlloyd, where did you see that error, your package system is ok right now [01:51] make sure it says "Read and Write" [01:52] if it doesnt, select it [01:52] then hit close [01:52] unmount the drive [01:52] xobius: yes, I have Ubuntu working on a differnet machine, also fedora core and gentoo [01:52] debian, thats the problem in this dialogue box I have an issue...it says it's read only. [01:52] using "sudo umount /dev/sdb1" [01:52] Carbonflux, in that computer? [01:52] well I guess that I found a bug with the package manager, apt-get remove, doesn't remove the appropriate symlinks from /etc/alternatives [01:52] xobius: it works fine with my Geforce 5950 ultra for example [01:52] Nubbie, do you use the version with ubuntu or the latest? [01:52] change it from read onyl to read and write [01:52] xobius: now, this is a new computer [01:52] nickrud, When an update was happening, I had a power outage. Now I can't install or update anything. I get the error whenever I try to install and update. [01:52] oh i love you all [01:52] nor does apt-get purge [01:52] ehh debian read above...I said it wont let me because it says it's read only anyways. [01:52] i have 1680x1050 working now!! :) [01:52] xobius: no, this is a new computer* it has a built in video board [01:52] Hello, I just installed ubuntu 7.10 and tryed to get flash on firefox. I went to a site and a thing poped up saying i dident have flash and that i should install it. it gave me 2 options, 1: install adobe flash (.2) install (Some other thing i've never heard of) So i tryed to install flash but it dident work for some reason, i restarted after it said it worked but it dident work at all. so instead, i installed #2 thi [01:52] s time. It worked with one flash site but now with my favorite flash site (pandora) how do i remove this and get flash instead? [01:53] ehh debian I think it's working, one moment :) [01:53] notlloyd, try sudo apt-get install , and paste the output from that [01:53] well did you type "gksu nautilus /media/sdb1"? [01:53] I changed that, now let me change hte folder access. [01:53] yes, I did. [01:53] ok [01:53] angel__: i actually haven't used elisa in a while. when i did i used the flumotion repository's version. [01:53] ok [01:53] gyaresu: how should I partition this time? I just want to use the entire disk right? [01:53] xobius: I have had a lot of success with Ubuntu 7.10 on other hardware so I am assuming its this video card. [01:53] nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50915/ [01:53] MartianLobster: err I would assume a problem with that package, rather than with apt-get [01:53] Nubbie, ok, i'll do the same [01:53] debian, It still wont let me change anything because of that error. "Read Only Disk" [01:53] debian u suck dude [01:53] Carbonflux what vcard have you got? [01:53] eltux: Yep. Unless there's something else on it.

[01:54] TheHappyFatElf: Have you tried apt-get installing flash? [01:54] and I am on a new keyboard [01:54] alright, all of the media players on this pc are broken. i think its a problem with the codec. whenever I try to open a video, the sound works fine, but the video looks like this (http://img106.imageshack.us/my.php?image=badmediaplayerts9.png). any help at all would be nice. note that .avi and.mp4 files are both broken.

[01:56] debian, it's not bad cause it works perfectly fine in windows. [01:56] TheHappyFatElf: 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree' [01:56] MartianLobster: it's gone... you really need to sit on your hands and think a minute when using sudo [01:56] nickrud, Alright, I am there [01:56] notlloyd, somehow this file got truncated. What we will do is fix the file, purge the package, then reinstall it so it's correct [01:56] tof >> oh ok [01:56] PurpZeY: Really? That's annoying. [01:56] !flash | gyaresu [01:56] gyaresu: 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 [01:56] 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.

[01:58] notlloyd, rflol :) [01:58] TheHappyFatElf: Have a look at that. You'll need to enable the Multiverse Repos and then install flashplugin-nonfree [01:58] Carbonflux, here http://forum.soft32.com/linux2/screen-resolution-ubuntu-ftopict52834.html [01:58] shadix: it takes it's look from your GTK2 theme.

This drive works in windows and was working the other night on the laptop before I reinstalled. When I try and load gparted with the thumb drive plugged in...it just kinda goes bleh.

[02:00] well I fortunately have a list of /etc/alternatives, so I guess I can apt-get reinstall everything that has a symlink there, and that will fix the directory [02:00] thor^^: That probably explains it [02:00] shadix: it's an "artist's interpretation" lol [02:00] Nubbie: i know but i was hopeing [02:01] It worked on Suse, Fedora and Gentoo...

I've done what I'd do on my machine (never had that precise error, but other .list errors) [02:08] Shapeshifta: check the manpage for mkfs.ext3 [02:08] its ok, its not a gaming card [02:08] Shapeshifta: what i was just googling on a few wiki pages - say its not possible, [02:08] how to set up cgi-bin ? [02:09] PurpZeY: that didnt work [02:09] i get nothing at all out of it [02:09] nickrud, It's alright, Like some people say, just reinstall ubuntu like Windows :P [02:09] muuluu: What are you trying to do? [02:09] notlloyd, argh, I've never reinstalled because the system screwed up :( [02:09] apocalypt1: I think that's about what I have on the issue... [02:09] Carbonflux, the instalation is more difficult, but it will work fine [02:09] hey guys - can anyone recommand a good gui environment - desktop - that will work on fluxbuntu? I have a 600MHz + 128mb memopry machine, it has a wireless WPN111 usb adaptor for networking and i need to get it up and working. [02:09] Dr_Willis: Yeah I see, it's HFS where it's possible to choose [02:09] apocalypt1: What program you using to paly them? [02:09] xobius: thanks :) [02:09] Same, but I just can't find anything about my problem and I don't know anything about the apt-get package system [02:10] PurpZeY, wanna trade? [02:10] TheHappyFatElf: Right. No idea.

[02:11] mugi: try #apache [02:11] apocalypt1: Got me dude... [02:11] ok I just read about the update altgernatives program, but it still doesn't make sense, It is humanly impossible to execute this program for every single command in the java suite!! Also, it still isn't clear, why were the symlinks created the first time that synaptic installed the programs, but they haven't been changed since then? How do these symlinks get created in the first place? [02:12] well there is noMongolian chnnel i think?

[02:12] apocalypt1: Twice for you...many more for more people...hehe I do my best [02:12] TheHappyFatElf: What? [02:13] iN00DLE: there are Linux users in Mongolia, I'm pretty sure. [02:13] sCOTTo just install all the xfce packages, and also install thunar as the file manager. Not sure about the utils for wifi as I do it all manually. [02:13] PurpZeY: problem is both on feisty and gutsy [02:13] So is it ok to do a install from a LiveCD running in Safe Graphics mode ? [02:13] gyaresu: because it's called Software Sources now [02:13] that seek a chat room, RyanPrior ? [02:13] Carbonflux: of course [02:13] PurpZeY: i underatand [02:13] iN00DLE: Why not?

Lots of Italians probably know English, but there are Italian Linux users who are most comfortable giving and receiving help in their native language. I presume that the same is true for Mongolians. [02:15] so is Compiz another desktop enviro like gnome and KDE? [02:15] th0r, thanks - can you suggest a download site? [02:15] I asked if there was knowledge of this demand, you simply strung out a non-answer, RyanPrior [02:15] shadix: No. It is another window manager like Metacity.

[02:21] sCOTTo nope....ubuntu is deb based...packman won't help [02:21] yeah [02:21] Darkmystere, you should hit escape when your boot screen shows something about grub, then choose the old kernel [02:21] I saw this help on a fourm And i thought it was worth a try i rebooted it booted into windows by accedent so i shutdown and choose ubuntu [02:21] well it looks like there is no 1 can help me on #apache [02:21] when I just do the command line stuff, it works ok [02:22] I tried that None of the Kernals Help Thats how i got the kernal names [02:22] gyaresu: gyaresu: It locked up again, its right after the xorg-server installs. its at 6% on the Select and install software list [02:22] ok RyanPrior I enabled the icons but they still aren't there, do I have to reboot? [02:22] Darkmystere, yes, but at least you can log in to try to troubleshoot the other problems [02:22] Stwange: restarting X should be enough. [02:22] I Cant Login Im using the Live CD [02:22] sCOTTo don't know what to tell you. You can try to get it off the fluxbuntu cd. I don't know anything about fluxbuntu so don't know what is there. [02:23] ok cool [02:23] nickrud * internet on Windows is sucky and i dont know this channel for the windows version of xchat i know its #ubuntu but the 1 i was on wasnt this 1 [02:23] Darkmystere, did you read what I said about hitting escape when you see something about grub on the screen? You should see more than one kernel, unless you removed the old one [02:23] hmm, I just tried a sample and it didn't [02:23] nickrud I did as u said before i choose old kernal Still not luck nor an error message [02:23] build [02:23] gyaresu: It locked up again, its right after the xorg-server installs. its at 6% on the Select and install software list [02:24] mkdir blah; touch blah/goo; touch blah/foo; ls -l yields the same [02:24] I have asked this several times already, WHAT INTALLS THE SYMLINKS IN /ETC/ALTERNATIVES????? it is humanly impossible to do this by hand. Something put the symlinks there when I installed java for the first time? Why can't I install symlinks now? [02:24] can anyone help with how to play .rmvb file [02:24] Darkmystere, what do you see after you select any kernel? Not necessarily errors ... [02:24] I even tried to go into recovery it says /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk Does Not exsist Dropping to Shell [02:24] Black Screen [02:24] MartianLobster: What seems to be the exact issue?

[02:24] MartianLobster are you trying to install them as root? [02:24] yes [02:25] MartianLobster: the 'update-alternatives' command handles that i belive. [02:25] should I use sudo instead? [02:25] gyaresu, so how do i deleat the thing i installed? [02:25] I used the Alpha Wubi Milfield it was working for a week or so it had this before but it was a simple defrag problem fixed but that doesnt seem to help anymore nickrud [02:25] hi, where can i find a guide for how to use compiz? [02:25] Dr_Willis: but I have to do update-alternatives for every single symlink in the directory, there are about 40 of them. [02:25] short cuts and stuff [02:25] Darkmystere, oh, you're running wubi? I don't know a thing about wubi [02:25] RyanPrior, I restarted X with ctrl-alt-backspace, but still no icons. I guess it's not THAT important :) [02:25] TheHappyFatElf: Which thing? Weren't you just trying to install flash? [02:25] Stwange: Hmm... maybe you disabled the icons somewhere else? [02:26] how do you fix the network manager to recognize ndiswrapper again? [02:26] Stwange: Can you create new icons on the desktop? [02:26] can anyone help me with an error? [02:26] Well thats besides the point I used Wubi 7.10 to install Ubuntu 7.10 Instead of partioning [02:26] MartianLobster: i just use update-alternatives when i want to change some alternative.. ive never needed to use it in any other case. [02:26] I just thought id mention it [02:26] MartianLobster: What alternative are you trying to updatE? [02:26] What's the admin password for CUPS? [02:26] eltux: same spot with different disk would make me think whichever programme is running right then has a bug with some peice of hardware. [02:26] Darkmystere: it's not besides the point, it's significant [02:26] gyaresu, ya, i got it but i said that i installed some other thing when i clicked the thing that said i needed flash when i went to a flashsite on firefox. [02:26] help anyone? getting error dependency is not satisfiable === gokee2_ is now known as Gokee2_U [02:26] RyanPrior, I can't even right click [02:26] Oh Sorry i just didnt think there was a diffrence...there both Ubuntu 7.10 [02:26] TheHappyFatElf: You could just ignore it. [02:27] Darkmystere, yes, it does nake a difference. It doesn't work exactly like a hard drive install, and I don't know just where the differences are [02:27] gyaresu: do you think it would make any difference if I installed the Xubuntu stuff instead of ubuntu? [02:27] guys, any ideas where can i see the shortcut buttons for ubuntu ??? [02:27] Darkmystere: it's quite a hack to get that working, and IMHO not a really good idea [02:27] eltux: Nope. So I hope you prove me wrong becuase so far it's just evil. [02:27] How do I play .wmv files on ubuntu? On debian I would apt-get install w3codecs but I can`t seem to find them in ubuntu? [02:27] The requested URL /cgi-bin/uu_upload.pl was not found on this server.

[02:28] MartianLobster: try sudo update-alternatives --all [02:28] Well My Main problem is i spent 1 1/2 weeks customizing personalizing ect And trouble shooting and i have Important Documents Placed on there ... it took 5 hours in its self to get the system up to date [02:28] TheHappyFatElf: TheHappyFatElf> gyaresu, ya, i got it but i said that i installed some other thing when i clicked the thing that said i needed flash when i went to a flashsite on firefox.

[02:31] gyaresu, so u have no idea what that thing is/ [02:31] I need a link or something (help) in how to use compiz [02:31] Xintruder: what version of Ubuntu are you using? [02:31] astro76, do you know anyone that does know wubi , Darkmystere really needs to get at the docs in it [02:31] 7.10 [02:31] Could u try and go off ur knowledge about why the Root Disk Woudl be Missing? [02:31] Anyone know what I need to do? [02:31] evening! I am having trouble installing ubuntu with an X1950 could anyone help? [02:32] Darkmystere, I don't even know how to access the wubi file [02:32] having a wee bit o trouble using Compiz, i have the Compizconfig settings manager installed but how do i use Compiz? [02:32] Xintruder: System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects, enable them there [02:32] nickrud, Darkmystere, then just use a livecd to rescue the docs [02:32] With Wubi there placed in windows [02:32] Im on the live cd... [02:32] nickrud, Darkmystere, ah right the wubi partition thing [02:32] MartianLobster: My initial findings show that dpkg might install those [02:32] Thornsberry just a guess...but the 'rm' leads me to believe they might be realplayer files [02:32] th0r: getting closer, that gave me a window filled with a hash pattern, I then also started 'gnome-panel' this gave my the top and bottom panel bars :) but when I start any app the windows don't have any border/decorations :( [02:32] Darkmystere: this is why I think it's not a good idea [02:32] Darkmystere: You said you deleted your windows parition though, right? [02:32] RyanPrior: its enabled! but i see no melt down or fire effects, like movies from youtube [02:33] pici, so what do I tell dpkg to do to reinstall the missing symlinks? [02:33] astro76, yes, I have no freaking clue. [02:33] Well i reinstalled it and tried the Wubi Alternitive [02:33] The issue I am having is with an NTFS external drive being read-only. When I first connected it I wrote a load of stuff to it, but now I can't change or add anything. I tried using ntfs-config and enabling write (which wasn't enabled before when it worked) but I still can't write to the drive [02:33] Yes, they are real player files. [02:33] th0r: and no Desktop backdrop. [02:33] Xintruder: i'm having the same issue [02:33] Xintruder: To get that stuff you need to use the advanced configuration editor, CompizConfigSettingsManager. [02:33] Hi, anyone have tips on what to do if you get a "No screens found" error when installing 7.04? I've got an HP Pavilion dv6500z.. [02:33] Stwange For windows or Ubuntu u need to download a new driver that lets u do Read and Write sorry i dont know anything more [02:33] Lulu: you should try 7.10 [02:33] Th0r: Any idea what I need to do to get them to work? [02:33] neil_d I can't be much more help...I use xfce for my wm. But I have tried gnome and I had the same problem...the title bar is missing on mine. But I never worked on it 'cause like I said....xfce is (in my opinion) much better [02:33] RyanPrior: do i emerge that or something >< ! [02:34] Darkmystere, all I can suggest is asking now and again for help along the lines of 'my wubi install won't boot and I need to get some files off it' [02:34] gyaresu, YES! it works! I searched synaptic for flash andc the thing that i installed was Gnash [02:34] Xintruder: that's Gentoo-speak. In Ubuntu, you use apt-get [02:34] gyaresu, thaks dude [02:34] Darkmystere, I think the drive is NTFS-Config, which comes with 7.10, I have that installed, and I can write to my internal NTFS partition, and I used to be able to write to the external one but now I can't [02:34] MartianLobster: Actually... just try doing `sudo update-alternatives --config java` first and see if it works. [02:34] Lulu: At start or install hit F6 and type in noapic see if it boots... [02:34] Thornsberry might try installing realplayer? [02:34] gyaresu, thanks [02:34] Quick question (hopefully), im trying to get my soundcard to work, when i type lsmod snd-ens1371 shows up alongside snd (among others) and modprobe snd-ens1371 shows no errors, however when i type aplay -l i get a message saying no soundcards found [02:34] TheHappyFatElf: Hey. Glad you fixed it :) [02:34] th0r: thanks for the help. [02:34] RyanPrior: I have that installed but i still don't see the effects. do I need to enable Extra visual effects or custom in apperance managaer? [02:34] Does any one have a link to a tutorial on how to install the new amd/ati graphics driver ? [02:34] Xintruder: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [02:34] Darkmystere: Can you please prefix your responses with who you are talking to? [02:35] Yea.. Sorry about that Pici [02:35] shadix: You need to enable Custom, and then use the Custom options to enable things like fire. [02:35] a lot of forums mention using alsaconf but that apparently ha been removed in 7.10 [02:35] neil_d one more note....don't use a desktop background in vnc...slows things down...and investigate NX from nomachine.com....much faster and more secure than vnc [02:35] th0r: can I install realplayer or real alternative on ubuntu [02:35] Just installed Gutsy on son's computer. Went to youtube to force flash install. Installed, rebooted and still doesn't work. Any ideas how to fix it? [02:35] im on it, thanks man [02:35] extracted think I got the same prob [02:35] shadix: It's one of those things that's a lot easier to show in person, I wish I could look over your shoulder and walk you through it. =D [02:35] astro76: I tried that, but it dropped me off at a command prompt and I couldn't figure out where to go from there, after giving me a graphics error (I've never installed linux before) [02:35] RyanPrior: it says the composite extrention is not available [02:35] wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow [02:35] desertoasis20 far as I know...I run ubuntu on my server, so don't install those things [02:35] Darkmystere: If you deleted your windows partition, and installed using wubi, you effectively deleted ubuntu as well. [02:35] Stwange U may Have to (if ur trying to access windows from ubuntu) Download a New Driver and reinstall So ull be able to Read And Write [02:35] wwjd: please dont. [02:35] Nem3sis: check dmesg befor/after loading that module.. that may be the wrong one for your card.. [02:36] !flashissues > Scunizi [02:36] shadix: That means your graphics card isn't set up to handle compiz. [02:36] no i havent deleted it Recently [02:36] Does any one have a link to a tutorial on how to install the new amd/ati graphics driver ? [02:36] what does mai name stand for? [02:36] http://qa.archive.ubuntu.com <<< I never knew there were ubuntu servers in Qatar, were there >< ! [02:36] shadix: What graphics card to you have? [02:36] Darkmystere, you should try here: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=234 [02:36] Pici No i havent deleted it recently [02:36] RyanPrior: ATI X700 pro [02:36] Thanks Jack_Sparrow [02:36] np [02:36] th0r: do you have any ideas on other realplayer-like players [02:36] Pici i tried it 12 times before eventually trying the Wubi Alternitive [02:36] RyanPrior: (Reading database ... E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly [02:36] Jack_Sparrow: does the gnash plugin work? [02:37] Pici I havent deleted the windows partion [02:37] Darkmystere: I'm not sure then, try the wubi forums for support. [02:37] shadix: You can try using xgl. The package name is xserver-xorg I think [02:37] Xintruder: Don't hit control+c [02:37] IS there an IRC for Wubi? [02:37] Darkmystere, you should try this place, it's the wubi support forum http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=234 [02:37] Darkmystere: Not that I'm aware of. [02:37] Dr_Willis, no errors, it seems to be the right chipset when checking the name on the card and checking the alsa-device list [02:37] Scunizi: I made a backup and used the fix.. Knowing I may need to restore after the real fix is released [02:37] desertoasis20 I don't like real....don't trust them...so I don't install a player. I have only vlc and mplayer on my laptop...and quicktime and flash of course for the web [02:37] i think i would stick with vmware+ubuntu instead of wubi.. but thats just me. :P [02:37] RyanPrior: sorry man im new to this >< ! [02:37] evening! I am having trouble installing ubuntu with an X1950 could anyone help? [02:37] Xintruder: No worries. :-) [02:37] gyaresu: it still didn't do it [02:38] Darkmystere, I think I already have :) ntfs-3g but it doesn't work [02:38] gyaresu: it failed again [02:38] Jack_Sparrow: I'll try that out, ty! [02:38] np [02:38] RyanPrior: its installed, do installed programs go to a certain directory always? [02:38] th0r: alright thanks man... in that case do you know a program where I can convert files [02:38] Xintruder: Nope, they could go anywhere. [02:38] desertoasis20 for real? no [02:38] nickrud: May I have a short PM... [02:38] eltux: hdd/cdrom/alternate/xubuntu/memtest/ [02:38] Xintruder: This particular one goes into that Appearances menu. [02:38] Jack_Sparrow, sure, any time [02:38] Xintruder: There will now be a new option called Custom, and that's what you want to enable the fire and stuff. [02:38] its there [02:39] ur right [02:39] :D [02:39] th0r: alrighty then [02:39] mike9682000, umm what is X1950? [02:39] Stwange Then it May be And error That has to do with ur HardDrive Try JKDefrag For windows and then find a Defragger For Ubuntu and defrag and come back with ur results [02:39] eltux: I feel like it's the installer software. May be that there are other boot parameters you could pass to the kernel to help. [02:39] pick, I try dpkg --configure PACKAGEX , and i get an error PACKAGEX already installed and configurd. So I still don't see how to configure a package and install the symlinks. [02:39] RyanPrior: what exactly is xgl? [02:39] Guys can someone tell me if I can download INTEL GMA 945 mobile Video card DRIVERS somewhere ? [02:39] gyaresu: mabee but I don't know anymore [02:39] Help with NFS please? [02:39] shadix: It's a replacement x server that enables graphical effects on many ATI graphics cards. [02:39] MartianLobster: Did you try doing `sudo update-alternatives --config java` ? [02:39] eltux: There'll be a list. I'll look. [02:39] Ok, I fsck-ed the partition, and there seems to be nothing wrong. Here is the sequence that causes the problem: mkdir blah; touch blah/foo; touch blah/goo; chmod -R 666 blah (you get permission denied); ls -l blah: ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? blah/foo and ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? blah/goo [02:40] ah [02:40] ac7ss, state the issue or problem [02:40] gyaresu: I'm open to anything right now, I'm actually thinking about putting xp on it :\ [02:40] I have tried to get nfs running, but the mount keeps timing out. [02:40] hey guys! [02:40] is there any problems in installing 32 libs in a 64 system? [02:40] bulmer: radeon X1950 video card (PCI express) [02:40] ac7ss are you using samba? [02:40] pici, I will try than [02:40] MewRS: Shouldn't be. They won't be able to take advantage of 64-bit capabilities, obviously. [02:40] The samba is running, but I am trying to use NFS [02:40] mike9682000, which ubuntu are you attempting to install? [02:41] 7.10 [02:41] eltux: 'irqpoll' and 'acpi=off' [02:41] Should I stop samba? [02:41] ac7ss did you define a password using smbpasswd? [02:41] Hi all, can someone please explain what a swap partition is and what it does. Im trying to install ubuntu on a newly created 10gb partition. I have 3 partition in total. Windows 20gb, linux 10gb and other, 120gb. Thanks [02:41] !swap [02:41] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [02:41] I would rather use NFS, not samba [02:41] bulmer, can I pm you? [02:41] what alternative is there to alsaconf? [02:41] Darkmystere, the internal drive works fine, it's the external drive I'm having trouble with. It says it's read only, but it wasn't before. I'm not sure how I could defrag it without write access [02:41] gyarseu: so where am I putting this? and with what cd? [02:41] The users are the same on both machines. [02:41] can somebody running gutsy open a terminal and try the following sequence for me? : mkdir blah; touch blah/foo; touch blah/goo; chmod -R 666 blah (you get permission denied); ls -l [02:41] RyanPrior: ok it's dled and installed do I have to active it or just try now [02:41] mike9682000, no, here is good enuff so others can learn or correct us [02:41] F-u-z-z-Y: you proberly want to make a 512mb or so swap partition also. [02:41] ok [02:42] eltux: boot parameter from the start. add both of those. (use the alternative iso, it's my fav) [02:42] i tried to reconfigure from the terminal with the x server ati driver [02:42] ah, so i should have 2 partitions for linux then. a 10gb partition and .5gb partition. [02:42] Stwang What version of Ubuntu are u using? it could be that the usb Flash drive That your using is incompatible (sorry for being so not really helping but im going off my Knowledge) [02:42] eltux: Do you have a SATA drive? [02:42] and i get "no matching device section for instance PCI 05:00:1 [02:42] hmm, would cacti be an appropriate way of monitoring say 4 of my machines from one via the web? i sort of want an overview of my computer world [02:42] Is it safe to continure without a swap partition? [02:42] gyaresu: no not on this pc [02:43] eltux: cool. [02:43] eltux: So you know where to put the params? [02:43] ac7ss you might look here.... http://www.webservertalk.com/archive211-2005-8-1182602.html [02:43] drw-rw-rw- 2 willis willis 4096 2008-01-05 21:42 blah MagicDuck: [02:43] I have the ATI drivers on a CD, how do I launch them? [02:43] Is there a way to do a Safe Partioning in Ubuntu live CD? [02:43] gyaresu: yes, I just did [02:43] erm I just realised my external drive is FAT32, I just presumed it was NTFS. Is there a way to convert it without losing files? [02:43] Hi guys I'd like to know why I can't see my python 2.5 in my applications, I have the IDLE program but not python I don't know where to find it [02:43] RyanPrior: The APT said thate i would probably do a destructable thing! O.O [02:44] something is seriously weird here. The first partition I tried this on was reiserfs. Then I have tried it on another ext3 partition and same story. [02:44] F-u-z-z-Y: There is a way to use a swapfile.. but I dont know how and we dont support it. [02:44] Th0r: I am running linux only. [02:44] Stwang I think i heard some wher that FAT(insert number here) a certain model is incompatible with certain Ubuntu Versions [02:44] ac7ss so am I...but samba works so much better than nfs [02:44] MagicDuck: why wuld you remove the executable from the dir? that makes it unuseable :) [02:44] Goupil418: Python is part of the Ubuntu install, what do you mean by you cant see the python? [02:44] ac7ss but the reason I pointed you there...the note about not running samba AND nfs === ajmorris|AFCLI is now known as ajmorris [02:45] MagicDuck: ext3 here.. [02:45] Pici, I don't know where to start the program [02:45] mike9682000, you already installed ubuntu or you are about to? [02:45] Can i continue without a swap partition and add one in later? [02:45] I installed ubuntu with the text only CD [02:45] it should work anyway === kalpik_ is now known as kalpik [02:45] on a blank HDD (SATA) [02:45] Goupil418: just type python on a terminal [02:45] th0r: thank you. perhaps I will try that and get back to you all. [02:45] continue with what exactly F-u-z-z-Y ? [02:45] Pici, Thanks alot! [02:45] hi all. how can i cp a harddrive to another as a backup for soon restorage? i have a problem with partition sizes that's why i need that [02:46] Dr_WIllis: what kernel do you have [02:46] ac7ss, can you paste your exports file [02:46] if i cp -a it hangs in the /proc directory [02:46] I have 2.6.22-14-generic [02:46] c1|freaky, do not copy /proc nor /sys [02:46] MagicDuck: Linux MythBox 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP T [02:46] does LiveCD have any way to test a drive before installing ? [02:46] ok [02:46] c1|freaky look at the dd command....it allow syou to create an exact copy of a drive or file [02:46] Carbonflux: Yes.. [02:46] iNOODLE: continue with the install [02:46] Carbonflux: test drive what? the live cd - is test drive I guess ya can say. [02:46] I own a compaq presario f572us and I went through the steps to get my wireless working. It "does" work. I am currently connected to the wireless while typing this up, but the bandwidth is extremely slow =[ [02:46] any help? [02:47] th0r, he should not be copying /proc nor /sys [02:47] th0r: no - in the end ill have the same problem again see: http://main.freakyy.de/df.txt and http://main.freakyy.de/cfdisk.txt :\ [02:47] sure F-u-z-z-Y , in most cases, you can use gparted after install, resize a partition and make a swap [02:47] I want to test a HD [02:47] I'm looking for a way to be able to remotely use my computer. The vnc that came with Ubuntu is nice, but I want to be able to remotely start a session, and take a lot less bandwidth. I've tried launching x-session-manager remotely through ssh but i get errors, and i can't just close it and walk over to the host and have everything still running. [02:47] i did that with partimage [02:47] Carbonflux: Start or install is the test drive and will not install until you click an icon on the desktop after you feel comfoprtable [02:47] Hope i Helped STwange [02:47] bulmer yeah...but I no longer try to figure it out...it gives me headaches [02:47] i didnt read the help [02:47] anyone know of something that could fit my needs? [02:47] Carbonflux: OH! you mean 'test a drive' - not take a car for a 'test drive' :P [02:47] Ashfire908, look into FreeNX [02:47] lol ya [02:47] chomd -R 766 seems to work [02:48] no, but you tried Darkmystere =) [02:48] just started and now i have a 150GB partition copied on a 750GB partition which in df -h is displayed as a 150GB partition and in cfdisk displayed as a 750GB partition [02:48] that sucks [02:48] Carbonflux: what kind of filesystem? the mkfs tools should be there in the command line for most. [02:48] I want to test the destination drive integrity before I install heh [02:48] Ashfire908 look at NX from nomachine.com [02:48] Ashfire908: Perhaps freenx [02:48] LOL i know... [02:48] ok, how do i add a swap partition to it once ubuntu is installed. right now, i have a window saying u ahve not seleted a partion to be used as a swap partion, go back or continue? [02:48] Carbonflux: fsck - i mean.. not mkfs. :) [02:48] Im still Trying lol now im off my knowledge and on to GOOGLE!!! LOL [02:48] Strwange Google is ur fried =) [02:48] I would go back if you are only at that stage, F-u-z-z-Y [02:48] I drive in really old, I think its a FAT but I have honestly forgotten whats on the dirve [02:48] drive* [02:48] LOL Strwange i mean Friend [02:49] Darkmystere, I search google actively when I ask for help, and I will carry on doing so [02:49] Say ur Problem again Ill type it into google lol [02:49] Carbonflux: Hmm.. theres some vfat tools.. but i dont rember their names.. or know if theya re on the live cd. THERE are some 'system rescue' live cd's that have the tools. [02:49] ok, does it matter if i create the swap partition at the end of the drive. Cant be bothered waiting to move the 120GB partition again? [02:49] could you guys recommend an ftp server program for my server? something relatively simple? [02:49] ill Specially word it how i got my answers [02:49] ~quit [02:49] odd experience today... we some some light luckily but at low frequency (dim lights) and computer will not boot.. [02:49] Is ubuntu on its on partion or no strwange? [02:49] can go anywhere you want F-u-z-z-Y [02:49] had* some [02:49] BlackCow, proftpd is a pretty good ftp server [02:49] BlackCow: its best to learn to use ssh :) I dont use any of the ftp servers any more , so i cant really reccomend one. [02:49] BlackCow wuftp is installed by default I think...but vsftp isn't too much harder to config and more secure [02:49] ok, iNOODLE, one last thing, what size do u recommend? [02:50] how much ram F-u-z-z-Y ? [02:50] 2gb [02:50] hello everyone.... can someone tell how programming works in ubuntu... java would work ofcourse but in school they stick to .net and c#.... [02:50] Hmm. thers no ftp server installed by default. [02:50] matholum: pick a langage,, install it.. start programing. [02:50] I go with the amount of ram the machine has, some go with only 1gb [02:50] need help with wireless speeds [02:50] FreeNX is completely overkill [02:51] iD00DLE: ok 2GB it is then, thank you [02:51] dr_willis do you know how to fix a network manager problems? such as I unloaded the driver for ndiswrapper and when I reloaded it now it wont even show up on the network manager [02:51] Dr_Willis, it just seems so different... being that it isn't .exe and all [02:51] anyone have a clue as to why Flash audio/video would skip (like a scratched CD) the resume playback as normal, assuming I'm not using any other audio application? [02:51] matholum: 'mono' is the gpl equilivent to .net i hear.. but ive never used it. [02:51] I'm watching the Matrix like every year this movie is the bomb [02:51] Ashfire908, nope, a wonderful tool to have [02:51] matholum: a file extension is trivial. [02:51] Well ive been googling for days no luck Yet Any 1 can help me Besides Pici he already stated he couldnt [02:51] Ashfire908 NX is the only thing you will find that is faster than vnc [02:51] ot but that movie changed action flicks, Goupil418 [02:51] Dr_Willis, i've heard of mono but i thought it was still vert experimental [02:52] **very [02:52] inoodle, best movie ever imho [02:52] matholum, tons of info on programming in the Programming Talk subforum, in ubuntuforums.org [02:52] matholum: i dont mess with mono. and i avoide .net like the plague :) [02:52] it's not the lag or anything it's the bandwidth [02:52] hey all. is there a possibility with cp to copy all directorys but those listed in a exception list or smth? [02:52] matholum: all i do - i can do with perl and bash. [02:52] Dr_Willis, now that i have started using ubuntu i try to too [02:52] Ashfire908 right...but the only choices you have are to forward X via ssh, run vnc, or use NX...and NX has the others beat on all fronts [02:53] matholum, C# and mono expert there is user "emperon" He claims it works okay. [02:53] Ashfire908, the suggestion is from experience.. [02:53] matholum: perl is avail for windows also. :) [02:53] vocx, thanks... i'll browse through that [02:53] hi, i have an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ and im about to compile the kernel on ubuntu 7.10 i386, on make xconfig, on processor type, should i select MK7 or MK8? [02:53] matholum: but it depends on what you are doing. as what program langiage to use. [02:53] Can I make ubuntu redo my sources list? The installer commented most stuff out because it could not find the server because I did not have the computer plugged into the network yet. [02:53] c1|freaky: Not without some scripting... [02:53] !easysource > Gokee2_temp [02:53] ok then ill copy every directory by itself [02:54] Jack_Sparrow, Ah thanks :) [02:54] Dr_Willis, I have been told just to use java for absolutely everything since that works in everything... but i dunno [02:54] np [02:54] Gokee2_temp, make a copy of your source.list just in case [02:54] but it's overkill. i don't need a full blown virtualization system. i need remote desktop. [02:54] c1|freaky you might take a look at rsync or the gui grsync....don't know if they will work for you or not [02:54] matholum: it would be silly to use java - if the task could be done in a 3 line perl script. :) [02:54] Non related to linux question: My desktop pc has started bleeping lately, bleeping, i mean system bleeps. Any ideas. I was told it could be a warning that my cpu temperature id too high but the fan is spinning and the heat sink is stone cold. I am not sure of the temp of the CPU as it does not say in my BIOS. Hard drives are running about 39 and 41 degrees. Which is normal i think. So any ideas? thanks [02:54] th0r: no thanks im on a server [02:54] Gokee2_temp: cp /etc/apt/sources.list ~/Desktop/sources.list.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T) [02:54] matholum, my single advice is to avoid IDES. Learn to program by yourself writing all code. Then after you know how to compile and how everything fits, then use IDEs for productivity. [02:54] F-u-z-z-Y: non ubuntu related hardware question--> ask in ##hardware [02:55] Dr_Willis, lol... very true... [02:55] !offtopic [02:55] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:55] matholum: but perl is a darn handy tool to know about. others prefer python, or others. [02:55] matholum: thats the joy of linux - all these tools are just an apt-get install away. [02:56] vocx, that is a good plan... that is how i have done things before and it just makes more sense... you actually know what you are doing [02:56] Hi. [02:56] How do I get restricted sources from source-o-magic? [02:56] Dr_Willis, true.... i love that ^_^ [02:56] Does anyone know how I can get ubuntu's fonts to look more like WIndows'? I prefer how sharp and clean looking the Windows one is, Ubuntus is soft looking, help? [02:56] sorry I left, thanks for the recommendations. I am also trying to get ssh to work but I want ftp for my friends to all share files. [02:57] Dr_Willis, I have thought about learning perl before... it would be a good thing to know [02:57] Tetracomm: There are a few ways. One is to install the Windows fonts. [02:57] anyone have a clue as to why Flash audio/video would skip (like a scratched CD) the resume playback as normal for a solid few minutes before reoccurring, assuming I'm not using any other audio application? [02:57] !font | Tetracomm [02:57] Tetracomm: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [02:57] Tetracomm: The other is to enable sub-pixel shading, if your monitor supportsit. [02:57] Tetracomm: install the ms fonts package. theres also the liberation fonts package thats nice. [02:57] Well Can Anyone Help a person in serious need...finding no help on google found some 1 with same problem but they didnt have a soulution... [02:57] Darkmystere, what is the issue? [02:57] can anyone tell me how to convert a drive from fat32 to ntfs without data loss on ubuntu? [02:58] matholum: learning perl is good.. learning/mastering 'regular Expressions ' is a MUST. :) [02:58] Stwange will put it in pastebin...just a sec [02:58] Well Recently i Got a new Kernal Packet in an effort to Getting my sound issue solved [02:58] Dr_Willis, well then i am set then... i have used those in javascript and c# ^_^ [02:58] gyaresu: didn't work :\ [02:59] eltux: meh. So annoying. [02:59] Stwange http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50925/ [02:59] Stwange: I know its possible in Windows, but I'm not sure how to do it in Linux [02:59] Stwange: There are always dangers working on a drive at that level without a backup. [02:59] matholum: then learning perl should be trivial :P [02:59] somebody can help with TF2? [02:59] Darkmystere, sorry i cant assist you with sound, i dont have sound myself [02:59] Bulmer the New Kernal is called ubuntu7.10 2.6.22-14-rt [02:59] Stwange: and like Picic said.. it is easy in Windows [02:59] no lol [02:59] Can I use apt-get to install them? [02:59] leal: what's tf2? [02:59] Bulmer lol that wasnt my problem i was leading up to it.. [02:59] team fortress 2 [03:00] orange box. [03:00] Darkmystere, go on.. [03:00] somebody play tf2 without problems in ubuntu? [03:00] !enter | Darkmystere [03:00] Darkmystere: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:00] leal: not familiar with that. sorry [03:00] then i might learn it just to have sumn else under my belt.... what are most linux programs writeen in though... like firefox, vlc, pidgn... [03:00] th0r, that's instructions for Windows :) so ok I'll go for a reboot [03:00] matholum: A lot of them are in c [03:00] i have all the other "four" games working in ubuntu, but tf2 no.. [03:00] Stwange yeah...I wouldn't try it in linux....too risky [03:01] leal: Do they run native, or under wine? [03:01] leal: Try asking in #winehq [03:01] thanks, i'm asking now, but without luck. [03:01] PurpXeY, i have looked into c only a little before, but that may be good to look into also [03:01] leal: Have patience, they will answer [03:02] is there a way to have PAM record logins/logouts in a mysql table? [03:02] Lol, Bulmer, Sorry guys horrible habbit. Anyways i got the kernal and then tried to startup usualy my hardrive lights go on alot but to my surprize it blinks twice so as usual i go back and press ESC and select the old kernal it blinks a little more But Leads to a Black Screen no Eror [03:02] matholum: The official preferred language for Ubuntu development is Python [03:02] Jack_Sparrow: thanks. :) [03:02] leal: I'd try forums or google on that too, presumably other people play that game under ubuntu [03:02] RyanPrior, ah, ok... good to know [03:02] matholum, yeah, if you want to do applications you should really look into C and C++. For small scripts, perl, python, tcl, ruby, will do. For other things, Java and C#... or whatever use you give them I don't know. [03:02] hi there, does anyone know of a program like nero for linux that transcodes .avi or .mpeg on the fly, as it burns to a dvd? [03:02] I cheat and reboot to windows to play TF2 :) [03:02] gyaresu: see what I sent you [03:02] Lazarus: k3b [03:03] as in, burning an .avi or .mpeg to dvd video format, all in one step [03:03] RyanPrior, k3b doesn't transcode [03:03] ive not seen k3b vconvert avi to dvd.... [03:03] t [03:03] Lazarus: Yes it does. [03:03] anyone know of a good system monitor for gdesklets that dosnt look like crap? [03:03] RyanPrior, how do you do it then [03:03] Darkmystere, did you add an entry to your menu.lst for the new kernel and have retained an entry for the old one? [03:03] is there a package that let me control my box via bluetooth device like a remote control? [03:03] Lazarus devede will do the conversion, but I am not sure if it is on the fly or not [03:03] hi , I have downloaded jdk from java.com , and this file is for linux and is .bin but I don't know how can I setup that , can anybody help me here? [03:03] angel: Blue tooth is built into ubuntu [03:04] vocx: Python can be used to develop quite large programs as well. [03:04] hi [03:04] need help, I activated and changed the gnome splash screen, but the background color stays the same gradient brown/orange [03:04] grout: Could you ask in a little less insulting way... [03:04] vocx, then i guess a have a bit of learning to do.... wish they'd have covered any one of those in school... but oh well [03:04] i'm trying to install ubuntu on a server which has a raid-5 hardware controller on it, the ubuntu sees the raid 5 as a single device (sda) [03:04] it installs, but then when i try to install grub to sd0 it doesn't work [03:04] Bulme, I didnt manually add it i acctually downloaded a packadge from the ubuntu and then rebooted it booted into windows by accedent so i shut down and then boot into Ubuntu And i end Here so i try using the old kernal no such luck [03:04] pooria: you dont need to use the downloladed jdk at all. install the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package - and it will grab java and other tools you proberly want. [03:04] grout it isn't gnome specific, but have you looked at gkrellm? [03:04] can anyone point me in the right direction for getting this to work [03:04] pooria: just chmod it, and ./execute it. [03:04] thanks in advance [03:04] Ok, I love gdesklets but the widgets look kinda old [03:04] PurpZeY, i know but i want to use my bluetooth device as a remote control. is this possible? [03:04] shift+Super+c.......... what is "Super"???????? [03:04] shift+super+c, what is super >< ?!?! [03:05] ops, sry [03:05] angel: It's possible, but perhaps not very easy. [03:05] angel: Yes. I've used my wii remotes as a remote. [03:05] winkey [03:05] Xintruder: the 'windows' key [03:05] oh ok [03:05] thanks [03:05] grout I have run gkrellm as my system monitor for ages...and it still works great [03:05] RyanPrior, of course. [03:05] leal: when I try to run it by typing its path , It's trying to open it with gedit ! [03:05] hi, i have java installed, but for some reason sites still ask me to install java runtime environment in firefox, any1 have an idea pls? im using gutsy [03:05] PurpZeY, is the wii remote bluetooth? [03:05] angel: Yes. [03:05] gkrellm rules.. [03:06] i heard there is something better, but thats the easiest [03:06] Eyemean, java jre installed or java jdk? [03:06] Eyemean: You need to install the Java plugin for Firefox, not just the JRE. [03:06] * robdig wonders why the windows key is super...isn't that a oxymoron? [03:06] Xintruder U could just change the key bindings u wouldnt be as flustraded [03:06] pooria: do you chmod it? [03:06] angel: Someone wrote some software to interpret them as a mouse/pointer [03:06] chmod ? how can I do that? [03:06] robdig: One for the ages. [03:06] Bulmer, Are You Still there? [03:06] could someone please help me set up right trackpad clicking on a new macbook? have tried suggestions from numerous forums but just break x with no success... [03:06] robdig: It used to be called the "meta" key too, but that didn't stick as much as Super. [03:06] chmod 755 "the file you have downloaded" [03:06] robdig, nah, windows is trying to ride the reputation of the super key [03:06] rianprior, oh right, so do i do that via comman line or just got to firefox plguins? [03:06] Darkmystere, yes [03:06] Darkmystere, did you add an entry to your menu.lst for the new kernel and have retained an entry for the old one? [03:07] Eyemean: It's probably in add/remove programs as well. [03:07] PurpZeY, to interpret bluetooth devices in general or the wii remote spesifically? [03:07] can i cp a harddrive from one to another, and restore it later, and it is still bootable? [03:07] ryanprior, k [03:07] i mean using cp -a [03:07] ok I did it now , but still is same problem leal [03:07] angel: For WiiMotes [03:07] c1|freaky, uses dd for bit for bit copy [03:07] ...is there a way to share a application between two computers via ssh? [03:07] angel: But I imagine there is other stuff around [03:07] !clone > c1|freaky [03:07] Eyemean: Java 6 Web Start is what it's called, I think. [03:07] Ashfire908: you mean 'see' the same app on both machines? [03:08] hi there guys im installing vmware workstation and im stuck when i get this message, how could i find in ubuntu where C headers are? [03:08] Nickrud, LOL windows=chunky=unhappy=Annoyance=Microsoft going out of buisness Ubuntu WORLD DOmination!!! [03:08] has anyone came out with better atheros wifi driver than madwifi? im right next to my extended range router with 81% on an IBM z60t [03:08] Jack_Sparrow: thats not what i need thank you [03:08] Ashfire908: you can ssh -X to a remote. run an app and have it appear on the local box - thats trivial. [03:08] What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running [03:08] kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] [03:08] The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is not an existing directory. [03:08] cocox: C headers aren't installed unless you add the build-essential package [03:08] cocox, normally if you have downloaded them its in /usr/src [03:08] bulmer: are u sure dd will work? does dd save partitions? [03:08] c1|freaky: I use dd to clone drives myself [03:08] gyaresu: I booted into xp so if you find any ideas, send em to me. I'm going to play a game for a bit [03:08] ok guys let me check, thanks [03:08] Ashfire908: to have one box see the desktop or app from another box look at the screen command [03:08] i dont need to clone it Jack_Sparrow the new hdd is larger than the old one and the partition will be larger. will it still work without problems? [03:08] c1|freaky, try it [03:08] eltux: fair enough. [03:08] need help, I activated and changed the gnome splash screen, but the background color stays the same gradient brown/orange [03:09] c1|freaky: Yes [03:09] i wont try it because i allready tried using partimage [03:09] gyaresu: thanks for all your help today [03:09] kanuha: The background color of what? [03:09] Jack_Sparrow: so dd just copies, and doesnt restore the partitions? [03:09] cocox, check the virtualiztion subforum in ubuntuforums.org [03:09] hi [03:09] any one have a link to download AMD Proprietary Linux driver version 8.40.4 [03:09] c1|freaky, yes it will work [03:09] eltux: pity we didn't succeed. [03:09] gyaresu: true [03:09] Bulmer, I beileave it did but i didnt manually do anything i beileave it retained the older kernal in the hidden menu with the newer 1 [03:09] ok, ill try [03:09] i have a problem with the nvidia driver [03:09] >,> [03:09] RyanPrior, bulmer guys but in that question it says "with your matching kernell".. so would that be ok?? [03:09] extracted: System -> Administration -> Restricted drivers manager [03:09] RyanPrior, the background color that displays during the splach screen [03:09] c1|freaky: you can do a drive or partition... let me see if I have a page for dd [03:10] cocox: I don't know. [03:10] that driver sucks [03:10] I have used that manager for install it [03:10] ok [03:10] any of u guys know how to switch desktops using the cube thing with compiz? [03:10] I installed the Windows fonts. [03:10] cocox, yes its okay [03:10] but if i activate it i can put a bigger resolution that 800x600 [03:10] How do I use them now? [03:10] hey [03:10] kanuha: My background color, for instance, is black. I don't know why yours would be different. [03:10] c1|freaky: See if this is more what you want.. http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Dd [03:10] I don't know how to tell the difference between the Windows and Linux ones in the font manager. [03:10] Help? [03:10] Bulmer does clicking ur name Filter out others? [03:10] Xintruder: If you have the cube enabled, clicking on the virtual desktops or using ctrl+alt+left or right should switch. [03:11] Jack_Sparrow: i need just a partition but without the information like just the file system restore without the partition table. i want to copy / (150GB part) to / (740GB partition) [03:11] Tetracomm just a sec [03:11] c1|freaky: See the link [03:11] ok [03:11] Xintruder: If that doesn't work, make sure you have set the number of virtual desktops to 4 in the Preferences widget. [03:11] Darkmystere, if you knew where the old kernel is, you can manually insert that in with grub at boot time, or modify menu.lst to have an entry pointing to the older kernel [03:11] can anyone help me with the driver? [03:11] has anyone gotten hp scanjet 3800 working? it's supposed to be unsupported [03:11] RyanPrior: I love you man [03:11] ryanprior, thats werid cause i have that installed [03:11] does anyone know how to set up right click on a macbook trackpad? [03:11] it worked! [03:11] RyanPrior, could it be a compiz thing keeping the color [03:11] Darkmystere, i dont know what you mean by clicking my nick? [03:12] Now i have my showoff laptop setup!!!!!!!! [03:12] Tri1, mouseemu [03:12] Xintruder: If you think that's cool, try holding ctrl+alt and click-dragging. [03:12] for some reason, although sound works fine in every other app I have... no sound will come out of Banshee... any Ideas? [03:12] Bulmr Yea it seemed to have made a new thing with ur name [03:12] can anyone help me with the driver? :( [03:12] خةلخةل [03:12] Tetracomm http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50927/ it is an old note, but may still apply [03:12] I am trying to upgrade libbluetooth2 but I get a dependency error "Depends: libc6 (>=2.7-1) but 2.6.1-1ubuntu10 is to be installed" [03:12] ops [03:12] c1|freaky: The alternate would be to back it up to a tar then restore it to the new partition [03:12] im so excited my encoding flipped up :D [03:12] Bulmer i dont exacly know wher ythe kernal is i tried using the Kernal that it originally used No Such Luck [03:13] thanks mike1o [03:13] Darkmystere, how did you even install the new kernel? [03:13] th0r, can i use the mulit-display mode on screen to share an X app? [03:13] * Xintruder is trying to make the number of desktops 4 [03:13] Xintruder, you you have the little applet with the two desptops showing? [03:13] c1|freaky: Here is another neat trick How to copy using tar... tar cpf- -C/path/sourcefile .|tar xpf- -C/path/destination [03:13] Bulmer it states when i go to the recovery mode it gives me this /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk Does not exists Dropping to Shell!!, Because i used synaptics to install it.. [03:14] cubexombi: yeah [03:14] Xintruder, right click, properties on it, [03:14] Jack_Sparrow: i have 2 hdds in the server. i will first copy the partition from which is booted like this: dd if=/dev/sda2 > sda2.img [03:14] gnome thing at the bottom [03:14] Ashfire908 don't know. I just learned the other day about the screen command, so haven't had a chance to learn much about it. I haven't had the need to share an app or desktop, so only know the theoryfd [03:14] i hope that works [03:14] Preferences rather, set workstations to 4 [03:14] anyone what this means: [03:14] i dont need it gziped [03:14] wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x000000a4 at address 0x7e3a69a5 (thread 0009), starting debugger... [03:14] is there a package for java? [03:14] if i gzip it, it will take much longer [03:14] Darkmystere, synaptic normally handles making sure the old one is left behind in case you have to resort back to it [03:15] xintruder, set workstations to 4, that should do it, (so long as you've already set compiz up.) [03:15] ryanprior, it looks like i have version 5 and 6 installed [03:15] is there a package for java? [03:15] Ok.. having an issue.. installed a motherboard with the NVidia nForce 630A MCP chipset but almost everything (including video card) in 'lspci' is "Unknown Device" [03:15] Kunin not sure what it means...but I wouldn't get my hopes up about running that program under wine [03:15] kaenel: Yes, there is. You can get it through Add/Remove programs. [03:15] c1|freaky: dd if=/dev/sda of=mbr.backup bs=512 count=1 is how I backup the mbr just as an fyi [03:15] Darkmystere, do you have your liveCD ? boot from it.. also try to remember which partition you have your MBR and where is your / directory was (which partition) === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [03:16] bulmer, I know Its still there i Just cannot boot into Ubuntu it goes to a black screen after doing the normal cannot allocate region thing and just sits there as in normally it would use my hardrive ligts on and off alot [03:16] the mbr is ok [03:16] marx2k, try to install nvidia [03:16] kex: what do you mean? [03:16] marx2k, sudo apt-get install nvidia [03:16] marx2k, i think [03:16] i really just need that one partition [03:16] marx2k: I have no specific recomendation - however NVIDIA website has preety well developed LINUX drivers - with very clear instructions how to install them [03:16] Bulmer, i am on the live CD Ubuntu isnt on its on Partion (bulmer then states hes not good with that situation and i go searching again...) Correct me if im Wrong [03:16] aptitude does not have a package called nvidia [03:16] Darkmystere, okay do this, boot from your liveCD [03:17] and i need dd not to restore anything which has to do with partition sizes [03:17] xintruder, get the cube going? [03:17] nvidia-glx [03:17] acu: yes, for the video drivers.. but these are nForce motherboard issues Im worrying about [03:17] need help installing real player [03:17] marx2k, or replace nvidia with what craig_ said [03:17] c1|freaky: It was just an example dd if=/dev/sda2 of=partition.backup ... double check that... [03:17] the restricted nvidia drivers with gutsy are working fine for my purposes.. [03:17] Darkmystere, so you are on liveCD now? [03:17] i made the work spaces 2X2, but something is wrong, seems four boxes forward me to 2 workstation only [03:17] Bulmer Yea i have Been the Entire time [03:17] Xintruder: You don't want 2x2, you wand 1x4 [03:18] (intenet is chopy in windows [03:18] th0r: That doesn't work: [03:18] it should work this way too as it works like this: dd if=/dev/hda | gzip > /mnt/hdb1/system_drive_backup.img.gz [03:18] marx2k, oh, it's 04:20 here and i am tired, soz [03:18] Darkmystere, okay, fdisk -l and pastebin the results [03:18] I've never gottenn 2x2 to work right , set it to 4x1 and the cube should work. [03:18] kex: hah. understood [03:18] so without of= and just a > that would be somehow the same [03:18] ^^ [03:18] For some odd reason the volume of the sound on ubuntu is extremely low [03:18] goodnight people.. c1|freaky too many ways to show or discuss them all [03:18] marx2k, what is a nForce anyways? isn't it geforce? [03:18] everything is turned up [03:18] Jon__: Have you checked alsa mixer? [03:18] Jack_Sparrow: yea :D [03:19] nite Javid [03:19] cube is up!!! [03:19] allready gone [03:19] hello? [03:19] PurpZeY: How do I do that? [03:19] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ fdisk -l [03:19] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ [03:19] hi, how can i uninstall java complete from gutsy so i can do fresh install of java pls? [03:19] but guys, dont these 4 act as links to only 2 workdesks ?? [03:20] Darkmystere, okay, fdisk -l /dev/sda and pastebin the results [03:20] RyanPrior, i couldn't find it [03:20] What couldn't you find, Kaenel? [03:20] Darkmystere, or maybe fdisk -l /dev/hda [03:20] Bulmer, ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ fdisk -l /dev/sda [03:20] Cannot open /dev/sda [03:20] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ [03:20] java. [03:21] you need to be root [03:21] bulmer, he needs sudo [03:21] RyanPrior: i know have 4 workstations right? [03:21] now* [03:21] Darmystere: you need to be root [03:21] or try sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda [03:21] Darkmystere, per advise of others..you need to be root..which I thought you are since you are in liveCD [03:21] Trying it again... [03:21] he isn't [03:21] What i thought im on Live CD [03:21] he's ubuntu [03:21] he claimed he is [03:22] I am .... [03:22] look at the prompt: ubuntu@ubuntu [03:22] it is [03:22] <_stefano_> hi to all [03:22] yes, that means you are the user ubuntu [03:22] i'm trying to get my scanner running and i got it narrow down to installing this firmware driver. The only problem is that to install the directory i must place the file in a directory that has root or super user priviliges. I've gotten this far in the terminal "cp -p sbfw.usb /usr/share/sane/ gt68xx". after i press enter it says i do not have permission to write to this directory. what...

You can drag windows between them, too. [03:23] Xintruder: I highly suggest the Expo plugin, which lets you drag windows easily between desktops. [03:23] Darkmystere, is that the only hard disk you have? [03:23] grekkos: check out #ardour [03:23] oh, expo is the very best part of compiz [03:23] RyanPrior: if i manage to do one more thing I will feel like super man....

[03:24] i did [03:24] oh maybe it was in the wrong server [03:24] Yea [03:24] that thing is: the lower panel I see on youtube, simal to kde, or apple maybe.... [03:24] but it didn't work [03:24] grekkos: then maybe try ##ardour, I'm just going by what chanserv is telling me [03:24] i'm new to this irc client [03:24] i tried sudo -H too [03:24] similar** [03:24] Darkmystere, you are making me guess of wjhat you have...you have to tell me how many drives you have and how it is connected..elaborate please [03:24] Xintruder: That's the Avant Window Navigator, and it's highly experimental. [03:24] AlexMK press ALT+ F2 then type gnome-system-monitor [03:24] do you mean its hard to set up -_- [03:24] bulmer, I had to back out on this, lack of knowledge. But his install is in wubi [03:24] <_stefano_> anyone have connection problem with ethernet modem? [03:24] holaaaa [03:25] Darkmystere, what are you trying to do? [03:25] Xintruder: You can try getting it working, but no guarantees there. I've never been able to figure it out, personally, but there are tutorials out there on the 'net [03:25] nickrud, thanks for the heads up.. [03:25] i love this distro! \o/ [03:25] Bulmer Its Internal Hardrive [03:25] Darkmystere: I meant services, not processes... [03:25] is it exactly what apple uses? [03:25] AlexMK Sorry.... [03:25] Xintruder: Nope. It is inspired somewhat by Apple's dock, but they use entirely different technologies. [03:25] what is apple maybe using? [03:25] Darkmystere, how many drives? how many internal, how many external? [03:26] Help?

As He stated [03:27] Xintruder: were you planning on compiling something? [03:27] i donno, i always had to do stuff to that file after installing gentoo [03:27] oh [03:27] no idea [03:27] >< [03:27] gentoo's system builds all of its packages [03:27] (and i run out of help after all of this..... [03:27] maybe make.conf is a global config file for make [03:27] From what I know about wubi, it installs in a file, inside windows [03:27] Xintruder: I don't think there's any configuration of that sort of thing to do. [03:28] yes. and it stopped booting, he has docs in there he says he must have for work. I know zip about wubi [03:28] Xintruder: it was probably for the "emerge" utility on Gentoo [03:28] well [03:28] Stupid floodbots. Always flooding the channel.

[03:39] Darkmystere, yes, you told me already. Start at the the beginning of where I pointed you, not near the end [03:39] keyboard and mouse are usb [03:40] Oh I have a question here... relating to compiz. - Which program handles the windows. I.E. Metacity on a regular gnome system without the compiz installed - I'd like to modify the middle click + modifier to resize but i need to know which program's code it's in [03:40] so i cant hold f1 to get to my bios to enable my vid card [03:40] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50930/ any ideas on how to fix? [03:40] Well the beginging Part is for 7.04 Live CD it states quote:his step installs the read-write ntfs-3g driver. It is only necessary if you're using the 7.04 desktop CD. Ubuntu 7.10 comes pre-installed with ntfs-3g, so skip this if using the 7.10 desktop CD. [03:40] andronius: Ubuntu not detecting your usb devices has nothing to do with getting into your bios. Your bios is loaded first,before any OS. [03:41] is there much of a preformance hit running Ubuntu i386 on a AMD 64 ? [03:41] can anyone tell me what the program is that can let me have icons on the bottom to select from for my apps like the one shown here: http://www.kde-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=70284&file1=70284-1.gif&file2=70284-2.jpg&file3=&name=Dark+Ice+Emerald [03:41] Carbonflux: not that you'll notice :) [03:41] hey guys im thinking bout switching to ubuntu from archlinux because my laptop is a freakn pain to setup with archlinux... looks like from what im reading its good to go out of hte box with ubuntu [03:41] i know but my usb ports were working before i installed ubuntu [03:41] who named ubuntu with this name >< ! [03:41] Carbonflux: depends on how ram you have, and what you are doing, but generally no [03:41] and they work once ubuntu starts [03:41] Darkmystere, but then you skipped the next step also, where it says to mount the windows partition using ntfs-3g [03:41] no one named it with this name >< !, they named it ubuntu [03:41] I have 2 gig of ram [03:41] iCEifer: AWN [03:41] andronius: Ubuntu does not have the ability to sever the cords of your USB subsystem. [03:41] Carbonflux: then no worries [03:41] !ubuntu | Xintruder [03:41] thanks :) [03:41] Xintruder: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support.

[03:42] i know ubuntu has releases every couple of months, are there ways to upgrade ubuntu right from the packages or would i have to download the new iso and re-install everything [03:43] on every new release [03:43] andronius, what does the usb port have to do with changing the default vid card in bios? [03:43] supersako: Nope, you can upgrade from within Ubuntu [03:43] Ok I got w64codecs and downloaded and untared and moved the files from the mplater site for ppc to /usr/lib/codecs and now still can`t play my .wmv file. Can anyone tell my why? The .wmv is a hd file. [03:43] !upgrade | supersako [03:43] supersako: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [03:43] supersako: There is a distro-upgrade process that will become available through your update manager when a new release becomes available.

[03:43] WiFi card can see GAteway, Gateway can see WiFi card, but no joy on getting anything with a ping. [03:43] keyboard is usb [03:43] supersako: every six months, and yes you can upgrade via the web, assuming you have feisty or higher [03:43] Ok i did that and now i get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50931/ [03:43] sweet, anyone here use ubuntu and archlinux on their laptops? [03:43] cant enter bios without keyboard [03:43] canerunner, kindly respond to me prefix with my nick or i will miss your responses [03:44] supersako: dual boot? some surely do [03:44] i want to find someone that has used both :P [03:44] supersako: I doubt many people dual-boot those particular two distros. [03:44] ok, is installing arabic fonts something simple?? [03:44] andronius, ah, you need to tell your bios to look for a usb keyboard, windows can't start a usb keyboard before the bios boots either [03:44] not really dual boot but someone that has used archlinux before and now uses ubuntu [03:44] BULMER. The WiFi is an Intel, and the Gateway is a Linksys. [03:44] supersako: more of a chat question; join #ubuntu-offtopic :} [03:45] cant do that without getting into the bios first aka catch 22 [03:45] is there an equivalent application to windows´ device manager? [03:45] help with samba please [03:45] I cannot enable my graphics card driver in the restricted driver manager. Once i click Enable Driver i get the message, The software source for the package nvidia-glx-new is not enabled. Please help. [03:45] canerunner, how do you determine of what you said, see the gateway and gateway sees your wifi? [03:45] supersako: Definitely. Lots of people can help you with the differences between distros. #ubuntu-offtopic is a good place to discuss and debate the differences, if you're interested in friendly chat. [03:45] i've seen different versions of an "8 in 1" CD of 8 versions of xp and windows in 1. is there a linux cd like this floating around? [03:45] anyone that can help me with some glx problems? [03:45] !anyone | Kunin [03:45] Kunin: 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? [03:45] andronius, the bios starts up long before any os does. You will have to find a ps2 keyboard so you can get into the bios, and set up the usb keyboard as well as video [03:45] Marfi: Like multiple distros on one CD? ubuntu, slack, etc? [03:45] Pici, yup [03:46] Marfi: DVD, perhaps, but not a CD [03:46] BULMER: The NIC can see the gateway MAC, and the gateway can see the NIC MAC, but I can't get them to communicate. Things were working well yesterday, then I shut the computer down, and now I can'g ping anything wirelessly. [03:46] Marfi: Not that I'm aware of [03:46] Marfi: www.distrowatch.com may have an answer [03:46] ok.....i'll try that then [03:46] bazhang, tried it [03:46] why would u want ubuntu and slack ont he same cd they're so different.. [03:46] hI........ [03:46] andronius, what you are seeing is a limitation of your hardware, not ubuntu [03:46] do I apt-get install arabic fonts :/ ? [03:46] Marfi: look for a Linux Format magazine at your local bookstore [03:46] canerunner, what tool or command do you use to say it sees both ways?

[03:47] BULMER: If I run iwconfig, it lists the gateway correctly, and if I open the gateway log, I can see the MAC of the MIC. [03:47] Darkmystere, did you do the first step, sudo mkdir /media/windows ? [03:47] tr [03:48] canerunner, okay, when you type iwconfig it shows as associated ? does the nic card gets an ip address? [03:48] mmhmm.. [03:48] tritium, bazhang i use ubuntu on a daily basis, and put together an old computer from spare parts. just wanted to see if there was a quick and easy way to mess w/ a few different versions [03:48] !64 bit [03:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about 64 bit - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:48] Marfi: have you tried xubuntu on old hardware?

[03:48] Pici, thanks, I got the AWN running but is there one where it will basically be used to launch new apps and not just show what I already have running? [03:48] is there a channel specific to 64bit? [03:48] penguinguy1234, you can try setting it manually, but how do you then tell your wifi nic card to associate? [03:49] FUSE MOUNT point creation failed Nickrud [03:49] !64-bit [03:49] AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/jv6tc for more information. [03:49] BULMER: It shows association, and I can get a DHCP IP, or I can connect using aStatic IP. [03:49] iCEifer: I think you can make buttons for it, I havent played with it that much though. [03:49] Darkmystere, yes, it said it couldn't find /media/windows [03:49] tritium, thats one of the ones on my list. i want to try KDE 4 first, since it is said to run on old hardware [03:49] Marfi: outside of getting a linux magazine of downloading the various distros individually, then likely not [03:49] guys, does you tube movies appear in less quality than windows with ubuntu codecs, or is it just me? [03:49] tritium, run decently, i should add. =) [03:49] Pici, okay. thanks. [03:49] canerunner, what is the ip address you get from the AP dhcp server?

[03:51] is there a device manager? [03:51] are ur drivers installed?? [03:51] i have the sq thing on my desktop!! [03:51] Xintruder: mistaken, as the visual quality is hardware-dependent. [03:51] OMG I SEE MY FILES!! [03:51] Bulmer: what command? [03:51] Xintruder: codec issues are another matter... [03:51] I was about to ask about install problems [03:51] Darkmystere, save them !!!

[03:52] actually image wuality isnt hardware dependent [03:52] tritium: i used the automatic codecs thing, i didnt select any [03:52] Darkmystere, so make the /media/wubi mount point, and pick up with the fsck [03:52] hey, I've got an active windows install on /dev/hda3, what do I add to my menu.lst to allow me to boot it from grub [03:52] nvidia go 7400 gpu geforce [03:52] Xintruder: please state what the issue is [03:52] penguinguy1234, iwconfig wlan0 192.168.1.39 netmask 255.255.255.0 [03:53] BULMER: If I use DHCP, I get an address like a 169.254.x.x from Ahavi. That's why I've been using static IPs. [03:53] spee: Try apt-cache show hardinfo sysinfo [03:53] Xintruder, did you install the restricted drivers? and what are you trying to run?

I've got an nvidia card, and have the propreitary drivers installed, i've confirmed i have direct rendering with "glxinfo | grep direct" but any opengl app (be it glxgears, tremulous, or wow in wine) decides to use software rendering, if i enabled vsync in nvidia-settings it uses the GPU for rendering, but is still far to slow for this hardware. [04:04] any ideas? [04:04] Hi. [04:04] 7.10 [04:04] jinx099: No, none of the Ubuntus use that. [04:04] Does anybody here use a TV tuner to capture video?

[04:09] my network manager will no longer show a wireless network even when i have a driver loaded for ndiswrapper any idea of what could be wrong? [04:09] canerunner, okay lets do it like this.. type iwconfig and tell me how many interfaces does it say it has wireless? [04:10] dcesiel_, you awake? [04:10] Mostly just apply themes, but creating would be a plus [04:10] heh, I like some of ubotu's responses [04:10] !changethems > Koi (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [04:10] !changethemes > Koi (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [04:10] !themes > Koi (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [04:10] BULMER: Just the one.

[04:10] nickrud I just tried that and nothing happened [04:10] canerunner, and if you type ifconfig , how many names show up? what are they? [04:10] k, thanks [04:10] it says i can do sudo apt gets and all that [04:10] Galactic, tried what? I've mentioned a couple things now [04:11] There is a graphical user interface for Xorg settings manager on PCLinuxOS. I wonder if there is for Ubuntu as well....does anyone know? [04:11] I am using 5.1 logitech speakers and not all of my speakers are producing sound, Im posative theyre hooked up correct and all alsa speakers are turned to max... ? [04:11] is there a way to fix it from the mountpoints? [04:11] jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj [04:11] rodolfo: We sure have one. [04:11] almost got it all... [04:11] How do i get my bottom panel back? [04:11] BULMER: I get l0, irda0 and eth1. Eth0, thw wired connector is disabled right now. [04:11] dcesiel_, I've no idea how to do anything in Wine. When I quit windows, I totally quit [04:11] nickrud the sudo modprobe didnt do anything, I tried the other command and it gave me this ndiswrapper 185240 0 [04:11] usbcore 138632 5 uvcvideo,ndiswrapper,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd [04:11] RyanPrior: ^^ which one? [04:11] dcesiel_, but it seems you need the two programs to be running at the same time [04:12] I am using 5.1 logitech speakers and not all of my speakers are producing sound, Im posative theyre hooked up correct and all alsa speakers are turned to max... ? [04:12] canerunner, when you type iwlist eth1 scan how strong is the signal from your AP..it should be listed [04:12] dcesiel_, What I proposed was a script that would start one after the other [04:12] yes, but its important that this script that allows this vent feature runs after vent starts [04:12] right [04:12] rodolfo: System -> Administration -> Screens and Graphics [04:12] dcesiel_, the second would only start after the first was done [04:13] my cable remote is 4 /5 inches x 3 .2 , i lost the back batery cover and the danmn tripple a batteries keep rolling into the couch, and i need all the tape to air seal off the doors, u know dont wnat he zombies smeelling my flesh waht with my cutting fetish and all, what do i do ? [04:13] I am using 5.1 logitech speakers and not all of my speakers are producing sound, Im posative theyre hooked up correct and all alsa speakers are turned to max... ? they also produce a wierd skipping noise. [04:13] craigbass1976: that's exactly what I was looking for [04:13] BULMER: 92/100 Signal level=-39 dBm [04:13] !offtopic | NonPhiDeltA [04:13] Galactic: I am not purporting to be able to help, but why the ndiswrapper? what type of adapter is it? Just curiour [04:13] NonPhiDeltA: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:13] nickrud I just check the ndiswrapper website and it shows a conflict error with the bcmxx modules [04:13] dcesiel_, well, can you launch them from a command line to begin with? [04:13] djcabz its a broadcom [04:14] I've just installed kiba-dock and i removed my bottom panel in the process. But now i want it back. How do i do that? [04:14] canerunner, thats strong enuff..what is the contents of your /etc/network/interfaces ? [04:14] yep bcmxx gave it away. [04:14] Galactic, that means ndiswrapper is installed. Your previous paste (and 2 lines is the max here, by the way) says you have it properly configured for a broadcom wireless. Personally I used a broadcom with ndiswrapper, but switched to the restricted one [04:14] Galactic, there are some broadcom chipsets with regular linux drivers now [04:14] RyanPrior: (....) I mean something with advanced features, you know? some application that tells the video card how much memory it can get from the system...and other advanced stuff we can set/manage [04:14] Is there any ways to disable the keyring in Ubuntu? I can't find any information that helps me [04:14] craigbass1976: Yes I know but it's annoying to launch them from a command line everytime I want to open them [04:15] craigbass1976 are you talking about the bcmxx driver? [04:15] Galactic: errr... what craigbass1976 [04:15] I was hoping for something that i could just put in a launcher on my desktop [04:15] said [04:15] tssom: right click on the top panel and use its menus to add a new panel perhaps. [04:15] dcesiel_, what are the commands? [04:15] rodolfo: I don't think such a fine-grained tool is installed by default. [04:15] this is my issue basically bcmwl5 : driver installed [04:15] device (14E4:4320) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx) [04:15] Galactic, that's a good output [04:15] Galactic, I thought so. Maybe I'm wrong. It was when Feisty first came out that I set it up last; I can't remember [04:16] env WINEPREFIX="/home/dcesiel/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Ventrilo\Ventrilo.exe" [04:16] and [04:16] sh file:///home/dcesiel/Applications/ventriloctrl-0.3/runctrl.sh [04:16] I am using 5.1 logitech speakers and not all of my speakers are producing sound, Im posative theyre hooked up correct and all alsa speakers are turned to max... ? they also produce a wierd skipping noise. [04:16] Galactic, it's simply telling you that you can use the bcm43xx driver instead, if you wish [04:16] Dr_Willis: Nope. That's not it. i want the pannel that shows me workspaces and minimized programs.

[04:17] hi [04:17] tssom: i think you may be right clicking on the wrong part of the panel. theres different menus - depending on where you right click [04:17] ryanprior, It doesnt seem to be an issue like that, the speakers when being used also slow my computer down, use 100%cpu and crash it almost everytime [04:18] rodolfo: You could probably install the same thing PCLinuxOS has, if theirs is a quality tool. [04:18] hi may I ask for a little help ? [04:18] dcesiel_, I did. Hang on [04:18] Galactic, run sudo aptitude install bcm43xx-fwcutter , it will try to download and install firmware for the wireless [04:18] wow now it works after I entered some commands [04:18] Galactic, but before you do that [04:18] rodolfo: Ubuntu tries to configure x.org correctly in the first place, and usually does a pretty good job. [04:18] ok cool no hurry [04:18] Galactic, you took the words out of my mouth [04:18] BULMER: It shows the loopback. with it's address, etc., iface eth0 dhcp, eth0 dhcp, auto eth2 dhcp, auto ath0 dhcp, auto wlan0 dhcp, and then the eht i dhcp, and bleow it, the ip, netmask and default gateway addresses along with the wireless key and the ESSID.

[04:18] what I have to do [04:18] erm...i'm looking for some help with audio in ubuntu 7.10. anyone have some time? [04:18] quinton_: That's very wierd.

[04:19] !packages [04:19] You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search ", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! [04:19] ryanprior, only when it plays sound, it kills the speed and i have to kill whatevers making sound to regain speed [04:19] !irqbalance [04:19] Dr_Willis: Nope. I'll just keep trying. Thanks anyways. [04:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about irqbalance - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:19] !server [04:19] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support [04:19] Nubbie: where can i get some more info about this? [04:19] rodolfo: there is a DSL manager available, but it contains restricted code. [04:20] Nubbie: Sun's? [04:20] canerunner, you are running wep or wap? can you disable that in your AP also? see if you can connect in the clear first before going to encrypted [04:20] !info gnome-main-menu | rodolfo [04:20] rodolfo: gnome-main-menu: GNOME start menu applet. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.8.svn.20070430-1ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 192 kB, installed size 1484 kB [04:20] i'll just post my Q and hope I'm not interrupting. :P [04:20] BULMER: I'm running a WEP right now. [04:20] tssom: you just gotta click between the widgets like on the actual panel itself. Not the various applets in the panel. I see the 'New Panel" item here.. you could remove some widgets if your panel is cramped [04:21] dcesiel_, http://rafb.net/p/nLL2DY48.html [04:21] BULMER: I'll disable it and see if that changes anything. [04:21] rodolfo: you can install the main-menu, purely for the app/settings browsers and not use the panel applet should you choose to. [04:21] ryanprior, so, not all speakers play and when they do play music or sounds the computer laggs enormously, when the sound is turned off computer regains speed... [04:21] dcesiel_, brb [04:21] thxx craigbass1976 [04:21] !info drdsl | rodolfo [04:21] rodolfo: drdsl: DSL Assistant for AVM DSL/ISDN-Controllers. In component restricted, is optional. Version 1.2.0-1 (gutsy), package size 26 kB, installed size 132 kB (Only available for amd64 i386) [04:21] quinton_: I have never heard of that and do not know why it would be. Sorry. [04:22] or there is the eagle-usb-data package if you have an eagle DSL box. [04:22] Nubbie: any idea of why this does not come already installed with Ubuntu? [04:22] Dr_Willis: Thank you :) [04:22] rodolfo: Most people don't use it. [04:22] Has anyone here been able to use Ventrilo in Wine? [04:22] I'm convinced that I'm having an audio-related crash/freeze with 7.10 and Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) [04:22] rodolfo: nope. [04:22] Tetracomm: i hear its dosetn work with wine [04:22] ryanprior, on my old linux the speakers were already recognized in windows as 5.1 speakers with the driver cd... linux will not run this driver unless i do it with alsa and from the asus driver website. i did a fresh install of ubuntu only and the speakers have these issues. [04:23] rodolfo: IMO, the menu bar set up is highly effective and perhaps the ubuntu devs feel it unnecessary. [04:23] How can I make my vanilla gutsy machine a server without stripping it of the GUI and all the goodies? [04:23] ryanprior, windows is gone of course. [04:23] When i copy the files to windows the folders are empty? [04:23] My bookmarks in the places menu have, for some unknown reason, been turned into a single folder with my bookmarks within. Is there any way to turn it back so they're all just listed? [04:23] Dr_Willis: I'm amish to linux. just trying to figure out some basic GUI stuff before i venture further into this seemingly vast world of organized chaos :P [04:23] Nubbie: install the services you want.. poof its a server. [04:23] the audio plays fine, all the defaults are still "autodetect" and I can hear sound just fine, but sometimes the whole system locks up when the audio device is in use [04:24] anyone know where get spider solitaire [04:24] fourdegrees: It sounds like you're having a similar problem to quinton_ [04:24] tssom: ive noticed the 'gotta right click in JUST the right place' issue in a lot of OS's :) not just an issue with gnome/kde/linux. [04:24] is it a known issue that the default Network Manager doesn't support "WPA-Enterprise"? [04:24] fourdegrees: Unfortunately, I don't know how to help either of you. :-( [04:24] tssom: organized chaos is a good way to describe GNU/Linux. [04:24] ruru: install pysol - it has like 300+ solitare games [04:24] Help. I'm having harddrive hell. [04:24] !find pysol [04:24] Found: pysol, pysol-cardsets, pysol-sound-server, pysol-sounds [04:24] ruru: I think PySol has a version in it [04:24] the freeze has happened under multiple circumstances from watching a DVD, playing a local mp3, playing an mp3 stream, even the "ubuntu login" sound [04:25] :( [04:25] ryanprior, hm, last time installing my driver fixed the issue, however im extremely bad with instructions and would need step by step guidance. [04:25] Nubbie: yeh. that's what i've figured so far [04:25] dcesiel_, ok. How are you making out? [04:25] very strange...i've been searching forums/the 'net and haven't turned up anything similar [04:25] BULMER: That got me to where I can ping the gateway. [04:25] can installing ubuntu on a laptop cause it to become extra hot? (like bad power/bettery) management or something?? [04:25] ryanprior, I have a linux driver for my exact soundcard... just need someone to help me install it. [04:25] mm its not working, I get: [04:25] sh: Can't open file:///home/dcesiel/Applications/ventriloctrl-0.3/runctrl.sh [04:26] Nubbie: nm-applet is a good, but very "instable" network manager(very complicated when setting up an wireless connection). i took a look at it's site and the current version(which comes wih Ubuntu) isn't that good thing. On the other hand, Sun's network monitor is...good =/ [04:26] quinton_: If you have instructions, I would only be as good as you at installing them probably. [04:26] canerunner, good, so its the encrypted part thats screwing things up ... stay encrypted..you dont have that many nosy neighbors right? [04:26] dcesiel_: whats the exact command its running? normally shell commands dont use the file://whatever type naming scheme [04:26] dcesiel_, That's exactly how you run it from the command line? [04:26] Xintruder, should not be any different than your Windows. [04:26] quinton_: If you find certain parts of the instructions confusing, you are definitely welcome to ask the room for help. [04:26] I am looking for a solution where a mouse cursor suddenly sildes to the bottom of the screen. Two different track balls on two different machines are doing it. [04:26] ryanprior, I dont even know the basics of linux... thats probaply a brief description of me, hah [04:26] '/home/dcesiel/Applications/ventriloctrl-0.3/runctrl.sh' [04:26] Help. I'm having harddrive hell. [04:26] ryanprior, i will see if i can pastebin them to you to see what you think [04:26] BULMER: Well, I can also exclude anything except allowedMAC addresses, too. [04:27] oh but you have to open it [04:27] dcesiel_, You shoulnn't make the icon yet, run the file after the chmod by typing in ./filename in a command line [04:27] so sh in front [04:27] chuy: You need to ask your questions, not just say "help me". [04:27] lgc: i hope im having illusions since im up all night till 8 am now! [04:27] canerunner, right..so go uncrypted for a while.. [04:27] Theres a linux port of Ventrilo? [04:27] dcesiel_, when you're in the directory that you save the file to [04:27] If I do "apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" I get "md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz The Flash plugin is NOT installed." How do I fix this? [04:27] Dr_Willis, you know anything about wine? [04:27] craigbass1976: i use it at times.. andi know theres a LOT of sites with specific program/wine info. :) [04:28] Gokee2_temp: see the room topic. This is a known problem and there is currently no workaround. [04:28] !flashissues > Gokee2_temp [04:28] RyanPrior: Why won't Ubuntu retain a mounted drive? === dmb_ is now known as dmb [04:28] Xintruder, go have your rest and don't blame Linux of any evil. [04:28] chuy: What do you mean, retain it? [04:28] rodolfo: i have never had issues with network manager. [04:28] Dr_Willis, he's trying to run some wine stuff too, and I told him that when I quit windows, I totally quit [04:28] rodolfo: no crashes, no connection issues, nothing. [04:28] I keep gettings this (dont boot me if its too long) "/rofs/etc/apt/trustdb.gpg" cannot be copied because you do not have permissions to read it. [04:28] Dr_Willis, I've never run wine [04:28] BULMER: OK. thaks, I can play with the encryption thing until I strike a workable arrangement. Hopefully, we'll get better encryption packages as time goes on. It's way better now tha it was even with 7.04 [04:28] craigbass1976: last i heard ventrilo does NOT work with wine. [04:28] ryanprior, http://pastebin.ca/843477 [04:28] Xintruder: I leave my laptop on all night frequently and don't have heat issues. [04:28] RyanPrior: There is a workaround but it is suggested that people wait for the real fix if they can [04:28] maybe I should just file a bug report about the lockups? I'm just about certain it's the audio causing problems... [04:29] canerunner, okay good luck [04:29] quinton_: For future reference, the preferred pastebin for Ubuntu is paste.ubuntu-nl.org [04:29] /join #vmware [04:29] Any idea on when I fix will come out? [04:29] ryanprior, of course, i will remember. [04:29] BULMER: Thanks, again. I appreciate your efforts!! [04:29] RyanPrior: I installed a drive. Ran Ubuntu, mounted the drive and proceeded to use it. Then, when I resboot ubuntu, the drive is nowhere to be found. [04:29] Gokee2_temp: No one knows [04:29] Ok [04:29] canerunner, you're welcome, you can comeback and share your knowledge next time :) [04:30] quinton_: Jeez, those are not easy instructions. I would be daunted trying to do that. [04:30] chuy thats how it works... [04:30] craigbass1976: Running that script requires that I use sudo, how can I chmod that so I can just click on it and it runs? [04:30] hi! [04:30] chuy if its a removeable hd - you need to remount it. If you want it permently mounted edit the /etc/fstab file [04:30] ryanprior, mhm, someone here told me they were very simple and ditched me. [04:30] Nubbie: I use to travel a lot and when trying to get connected with public wireless network (hotels) it just does not work. it detects the network, but it just does not connect. [04:30] Xintruder, RyanPrior, I've left my laptop running at full speed with the full 2 GB of RAM used with 6 desktops for 51 days and no problem. [04:30] its l ! [04:30] dcesiel_, well, you could put yourself in whatever group has permissions to run the commands [04:30] For some reason my sound volume adjustments don't work, like if I adjust them in alsamixer I can make it louder and softer, but not from the gnome panel thing, or from XMMS [04:31] ryanprior, I dont understand a lick of them... thats why im here for help. [04:31] RyanPrior: No, like the device is not included in /devices [04:31] dcesiel_, what exactly is requiring root permission? [04:31] has anyone else experienced random total system locks while some sort of audio event is taking place? particularly with the ALSA intel8X0 cards? [04:31] I just did an install of gutsy server. worked fine. then I pulled the hard drive out of the machine, put that drive in another machine, booted it up, and now I get no eth0. I suspect this other machine has a different type of ethernet card, but not sure what I need to change. [04:31] chuy, you mean /dev? [04:32] fourdegrees, any i/o interrupt failure seems to freeze my system, [04:32] rodolfo: you need to select a network before it will connect. it is not in the habit of connecting to random unsecured wireless networks without user intervention. [04:32] hey guys, i need some help un-installing and re-installing EVE online on Ubuntu Gibbon [04:32] er...ALSA & intel8x0, i should say [04:32] not quite sure, it takes input from the keyboard [04:32] that probaby doesnt help you much though [04:32] backgen: You'll have to be more specific. [04:33] RyanPrior: yes, and get this, the drive has 2 parts, and only one is listed in /dev [04:33] backgen: i regret installing EVE. none of the menus are visible. [04:33] RyanPrior: wth? [04:33] RyanPrior: ok well i downloaded and "installed" EVE but it's not working, so i just want to uninstall it and re-install it into the Home holder and see if that will work....how do you un-install? [04:33] can anyone point me towards where the modules to be loaded are listed? === j_ack_ is now known as j_ack [04:33] i have to run sudo ifconfig wlan0 up every time i boot up ubuntu, in order for my wireless card to get listed in the network configuration(and to also to connect to a wireless network). is there anyway for this to be run at startup? [04:33] Nubbie: oh is all the text blank for you as well? [04:33] backgen: yes. [04:33] chuy: the drive itself is probably listed as an "hd", as in "hda", but the parts are probably listed as "sd", as in "sda0, sdb0, sdb3" [04:34] Nubbie: I usually do that. click once on the icon from the notification area and type my password...but it seems it tries to connect but for some reason it not only does not work but also does not return me any error message [04:34] Nubbie: that's the exact same problem as me!! Is it a common problem with linux? or do you know of a way to fix it? [04:34] DrFreeze84, pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces so we can look [04:34] backgen: Are you using Wine? [04:34] RyanPrior: nope [04:34] RyanPrior: should i be? [04:34] !w32codecs [04:34] backgen: I didn't know EVE had a native Linux build. [04:34] The Win32 codecs are available from the Medibuntu repositories (see « /msg ubotu medibuntu »), and for releases prior to Gutsy, also at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages [04:34] rodolfo: i agree Network Manager could use some more (ANY) effective error messages. [04:35] RyanPrior: [04:35] chuy@Mexicant:~$ ls /dev | grep hd [04:35] can anyone here be kind enough to guide me through some isntructions for my alsa drive install. [04:35] backgen: i installed it, tried it once, and haven't touched it since. [04:35] hda [04:35] hda1 [04:35] RyanPrior: well i just downloaded the EVE client from their website...should i download the microsoft one instead and use it with Wine? But how do you do that? [04:35] !pastebin | chuy [04:35] hda2 [04:35] hda5 [04:35] hdb [04:35] hdb1 [04:35] hdb2 [04:35] hdc [04:35] chuy: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [04:35] dcesiel_, I can't tell you then. Figure out what needs root permissions and go from there [04:35] i can see that the knowledgable here are pretty tied up...no worries. I'm going to file a bug report. no worries. good night. :) [04:35] quinton: go here: #alsa [04:35] chuy, thank you very much [04:35] Nubbie: yeah. so...what about this drdsl? have you experienced some crash using it or it works just fine? [04:35] maybe i should say "no worries" again? :P [04:35] backgen: How did it install? I have no experience with EVE, so I don't really know. [04:35] RyanPrior: sorry, I didn't think it was that long. [04:36] quinton: no problem [04:36] Hello [04:36] rodolfo: i use routers to connect to my DSL, so i don't have any experience with drdsl. i just knew of it's existance. [04:36] is there a samba-server package, or will apt-get install samba give me everything? [04:36] quinton: See if wishie is available. He's a pro [04:36] how do i get dvd playback? [04:36] RyanPrior: it installed from a binary. [04:36] RyanPrior: well it downloaded a package...then i installed the package...and then when i clicked on EVE it did a whole bunch of downloading which i don't know and then basically that was it...but how do you install something with Wine? [04:36] http://pastebin.com/d6a3f2b57 [04:36] !dvd [04:36] 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 === marius__ is now known as Unix-like [04:36] has anybody here used the Wubi installer, i need the root password [04:36] chuy: Anything more than 2 lines of output should be pastebinned, really. [04:37] alan`, huh? [04:37] alan`: what is wubi? [04:37] alan`, You can set one by doing a sudo passwd [04:37] RyanPrior: no problem. sry. [04:37] a packet to install ubuntu from windows [04:37] ok [04:37] backgen: Anything you install from a binary is hard to uninstall unless it comes with a bundled uninstaller. [04:37] thanks [04:37] backgen: That's why the Ubuntu community advocates for the use of debian packages rather than binary installers. [04:37] alan`, then you'll get asked for your password (if it's a new terminal) and then for root's new passwd, twice [04:37] it errored me out [04:38] it asked for a password for sudo [04:38] stupid wubi [04:38] rodolfo, do you know of an alternative to nm-applet. Mine just sucks. It's been a problem to me since Hoary. [04:38] RyanPrior: darnit...ok so how does Wine work exactly? I just download the windows EVE client and then what? [04:38] im using wubi, and it works fine... [04:38] alan`, can you set a password? Never done what you're trying [04:38] Can someone please tell me what the default run level on a gutsy desktop is ? [04:38] hoary was soo long ago lol [04:38] Lol alan Join the party i love it but it has its errors [04:38] RyanPrior, wait, binary packages? What? [04:38] allobjects, 5, right? [04:38] backgen: Well, no guarantees it will work well under WINE. But if you want to try it, I noticed that Wine-doors can install EVE for you. [04:38] Hey the dude thsat says it running smothly wana help me with my problem? [04:38] backgen: You are much better off not trying to install your own things until you get a better feel for linux [04:39] allobjects: ubuntu dosent really use runlevels.. I think the default was 3 [04:39] allobjects, 2-5 is same so 2 [04:39] allobjects, oh wait, ub's run levels are different I think [04:39] RyanPrior, most apps are distributed as either packaged or source. Not packaged or binary [04:39] Stormx2: Not binary packages. Binary *installers* [04:39] bulmer, http://pastebin.com/d6a3f2b57 . my bad . [04:39] lgc: still googling for it. but you can try some other that comes with Ubuntu. right-click on your panel and add the 'network monitor' on system & hardware. [04:39] Binary installers? [04:39] Bleh [04:39] RyanPrior: i dont get it. there are binary installers from deb files [04:39] I've never seen one. [04:39] Jack_Sparrow: hey jack! oh ok...man it seems like linux really bugs a lot of stuff up...like even Google Earth is all buggy for me [04:39] Jack_Sparrow: it's not that he's bad at linux, it's that the installer was very unspecific as to where it was putting files. not his fault. [04:39] craigbass1976: i can get a password for a user but i can't set a root password [04:39] Dr_Willis, Is there a way around that? For instance, I'm just getting done setting up a xubuntu box, but I'd really like it to not run X [04:39] rodolfo, no there's not. [04:40] craigbass1976: disable the gdm service. [04:40] rodolfo, what I get on the panel is nm-applet. [04:40] alan`, no idea [04:40] backgen: Funny. it works fine for me here.. How did you install it? [04:40] RyanPrior: and they are available from sites like getdeb.net [04:40] alan`: sudo passwd <-- [04:40] Jack_Sparrow: through Automatix2 [04:40] DrFreeze84, with that kind of content you will not get any ip address assigned to your nic cards [04:40] rodolfo: Those aren't binary installers. They're just deb packages that aren't available through the repositories. [04:40] Nubbie: Dont run an installer if you dont know what it is doing.. [04:40] backgen: do NOT use automatix. [04:40] lgc, there is one from Sun microsystems on there [04:40] backgen: Exactly what I thought.. [04:41] Jack_Sparrow: well it's kinda hard to figure that out until it's too late. [04:41] !automatix > backgen [04:41] Well Wish me luck guys im done copying [04:41] You guys know that automatix is safe now, yeah? [04:41] craigbass1976: you can just turn off the display manager [04:41] craigbass1976: Dr_Willis I'm following a guide for setting up XDMCP support and it says to force runevel 5 in innitab .. but ubuntu only has /etc/event.d/rc-default [04:41] It's been safe for ages, that factoid is years old. [04:41] Jack_Sparrow: ah ha!!! so i should un-install automatix eh? [04:41] !automatix [04:41] automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [04:41] Dr_Willis, sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove ? [04:41] craigbass1976: somthing like that. i forget the detailes. [04:41] awesome [04:41] Jack_Sparrow: ok so how do i un-install automatix? [04:41] backgen: Try a fresh install and then come here and learn how to install things correctly... then they will work [04:41] Stormx2: it is NOT safe because it doesn't use the repositories. [04:41] RyanPrior: so you mean that if these packages don't have an uninstaller i just dont uninstall them from my computer? [04:41] bulmer, but when i run ifconfig wlan0 up it brings up the wireless card that i have, and automatically connects to my ssid, so im not sure what to do next to get that to work automatically [04:41] backgen: You dont... Period.. Reinstall [04:42] Dr_Willis, jsut a lot of overhead processor work for a headless box [04:42] Stormx2: Automatix has been recently investigated and determed to be still dangerous. [04:42] Nubbie, yes it does o.O [04:42] Jack_Sparrow: your kidding me...i have to reinstall LINUX? [04:42] backgen: If it was easy to undo.. we wouldnt have a problem with people trying it. [04:42] RyanPrior, source? [04:42] Stormx2: Let me search my RSS reader for it. One sec. [04:42] Stormx2: it modifies your sources list temporarily to use other repositories. [04:42] backgen: Yep.. complete install. read the link I provided to see WHY you need to reinstall. [04:42] Jack_Sparrow: lol...darnit!!! ok is it possible to do a fresh install without the Live CD? [04:43] Nubbie: And that makes it unsafe? [04:43] rodolfo: It is theoretically possible to uninstall it, but it means lots of hunting and searching for all the stuff the binary installer might have installed. And you'll never know whether you got all of it. [04:43] Stormx2: umm yes? [04:43] craigbass1976: :) yep. problem with a headlexx box however.. if the hd needs to get checked at boot.. there MAY be an error message printed to the console. saying 'hit ctrl-d and run fsck manually' or similer.. You WONT see those.. the system just will apper to boot.. then hang. no ssh, and so forth [04:43] DrFreeze84, google for a sample interfaces file contents, surely with entries for auto wlan0 would make it auto load at boot [04:43] I changed my colours with qtconfig, but amarok still uses the old style. any idea why? [04:43] Nubbie: And that's a good enough reason for this channel to discourage is, dispite the fact we link people to medibuntu and seveas's repo? [04:43] backgen: Do you have the alternate cd or an iso .. anything? [04:43] thanks, bulmer [04:43] rodolfo, it's just f...ing whimsical. The eth1 interface seems fine now. (Except that it couldn't find eth1:avahi). [04:43] Dr_Willis: I'm following this, see step 5 .. http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/procedure.html [04:44] Stormx2: medibuntu and seveas repositories are well maintained and are PERMANENTLY added to your sources list. they are signed repositories. [04:44] Jack_Sparrow: oh no no, i think i still have the live CD somewhere...just have to dig it up...so i just pop that baby back in and reinstall linux eh? [04:44] !find google [04:44] Found: libgoogle-perftools-dev, libgoogle-perftools0, libnet-google-perl, libwww-google-calculator-perl, opensync-plugin-google-calendar (and 1 others) [04:44] RyanPrior: in other words just dont install packages from the outside. get the repo's ones. ;) [04:44] backgen: Yes.. that will save you lots of problems [04:44] Stormx2: http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html [04:44] does anyone know a linux recording channel for audio recording? [04:45] RyanPrior: so you see the list of drives, but check this out: http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?1bb8360783.png and this: http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?dca508573d.png and this: http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?9861408fbe.png [04:45] lgc so you found it. how is it doing? [04:45] Stormx2: There's my source. The Ubuntu Technical Board reviewed Automatix in mid-2007 and determined that it is still dangerous. [04:45] hi everyone. I have a winbond usb-to-wireless-lan adapter integrated into my laptop. I found that, it's an intel 2915abg, but ubuntu couldn't detect it because it connects to usb. with a little research, I found that ipw2200 driver works with this chip. loading module didn't worked. is there anything I can do to tell ubuntu that I have an intel 2915abg at usb? [04:45] Anybody help with a malfunctioning USB keyboard and mouse? [04:45] backgen: Would you like instructions on how I installed google earth [04:45] Jack_Sparrow: sure! [04:45] Dr_Willis, Those are not often though... monitor is easy enough to hook up for a bit [04:45] backgen: Hold for a sec.. [04:45] craigbass1976: yep..but it had me stumped for a bit.. : ) when my fileserver was... missing. [04:46] Jack_Sparrow: oh it's ok jack, don't trouble yourself just yet, i may as well reinstall linux first [04:46] How do i unpack a rarset? Got a file packed over multiple files here [04:46] hey is any one here an expert ubuntu user [04:46] rodolfo, it's the same nm-applet one. I actually have 2 instances of it running, one with eth0 and one with eth1. I believe the signal is going through eth0 though. [04:46] tssom: check out 7zip [04:46] !ask | chibong [04:46] chibong: 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. :-) [04:46] backgen: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50938/ [04:46] i need sum help with my ubuntu installation [04:46] Dr_Willis, I had it happen at work; ended up leaving a monitor (box wouldn't boo twithout a keyboard anyway, so that was there already) and it's been long enough that I think I can move that screen away now. Watch it crash the next day or something [04:46] chuy: Thanks [04:46] Jack_Sparrow: bloody hell this is anoying though...i'm gonna kill my friend for recommending Automatix to me [04:47] hello? [04:47] tssom: no problem [04:47] chibong: ask your question. [04:47] backgen, honestly.... I've heard about nothing but problems with automatix [04:47] chibong: there are over 1100 people here. [04:47] backgen: If it helps, his system will most likely crash when he does the next upgrade.. not to be confused with update [04:47] help. can't mount fbsd 6.x ufs2 partitions in ubuntu 7.10 D: [04:47] ok sweet [04:47] craigbass1976: yea. i like to set up HTOP on a monitor just in case. :) i leave the monitor off most of the time [04:48] chibong: what is the problem? [04:48] backgen: FYI.. dont use Envy either [04:48] Jack_Sparrow: lol...hey but installing stuff like aMSN and stuff through the Add/Remove is ok right? [04:48] Jack_Sparrow: what's Envy? [04:48] Envy? [04:48] lgc, so why does it show eth1 as enabled and working? how many connections do you have enabled? [04:48] I find automatix not needed these days.. not that i ever found it needed. [04:48] !envy [04:48] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [04:48] haha [04:48] backgen: anything with apt-get synaptic etc is fine.. as long as you do not change your sources.list [04:48] well ive installed ubuntu with windows xp dual boot. but for sum reason my second hard drive which i use to store files cannot be seen in windows but only in ubuntu. windows shows a hard drive D: that is not formatted and always asks me if i want to format it [04:49] Dr_Willis, Someday, when I've earned my own space... I'll jsut get a KVM and run my desktop and server off of it. I have to learn php well enough to justify my own workspace though... [04:49] i want ubuntu to not initialize a usb device when I plug it in, so that I can get vmware to get access to it. [04:49] chuy, did you get your hard drive thing worked out? [04:49] RyanPrior: Thanks :) [04:49] chuy: sorry for kinding of letting you hang loose there. [04:49] backgen: Stick to official repos... and use synaptic, aptitude, apt-get or add-remove and you will be fine [04:49] RyanPrior: so you see the list of drives, but check this out: http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?1bb8360783.png and this: http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?dca508573d.png and this: http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?9861408fbe.png [04:49] Stormx2: You're welcome. [04:49] holiday42: vmware can steal USB devices. [04:49] rodolfo, I'm not sure eth1 works at all. I'd have to do 'dhclient eth1' in order to switch to eth1. [04:49] Jack_Sparrow: ok so in the add/remove thing on the applications menu....absolutely anything is fine? or should i restrict myself to the programs under the "supported applications" tab? [04:49] hi [04:50] hey, anybody using one of the new Apple aluminum keyboards with Ubuntu? [04:50] RyanPrior: sorry it's so long... [04:50] the hard drive is in ntfs format as well [04:50] Anyone know of a gui for setting up softawre raid 5 on ubuntu gutsy alternate edition [04:50] so...? [04:50] chuy: Why did you name your hard drive "Vagina Gentium"? =P [04:50] 0_o [04:50] Nubbie: how? [04:50] Spaces in names - are not good. :P [04:50] backgen: I have never had an issue with anything in the repos.. May I suggest that after your fresh install you do a backup.. just one line in a terminal so You can always restore to that point [04:50] !backup [04:50] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [04:50] rodolfo, by the way, there's kwifimanager and wifi-radar, according to 'apt-cache search wifi. Maybe one of those will do. [04:51] can anyone help me [04:51] Nubbie: because unless i manull rmmod the driver, vmware wont see the usb device [04:51] Jack_Sparrow: ok...sigh...well here i go for the fresh install! thanks for all the help and see you guys later [04:51] RyanPrior: Guess what's on it. I mean, It's not sexual... Google it. Vagina Gentium=cradle of life. [04:51] :) [04:52] i for one am aroused [04:52] hello? [04:52] So, you have pictures of your kid in a drive named Vagina. Very touching. === chalcedony` is now known as chalcedny [04:52] lgc, I wouldn't install kwifimanager on your Ubuntu unless your running Kubuntu... [04:52] did anyone even read my problem? [04:52] babies [04:52] RyanPrior: lol? [04:52] chuy: So, remind me what is wrong? [04:52] RyanPrior: yes exactly. My son is an aspiring ObGyn. [04:52] * Dr_Willis thinks this is getting perverted... [04:53] chibong: maybe people did but don't know the answer. you can't have 1100 people all say "i don't know the answer" if you don't get an answer, assume nobody knows, and move on. [04:53] RyanPrior: I installed a drive. Ran Ubuntu, mounted the drive and proceeded to use it. Then, when I resboot ubuntu, the drive is nowhere to be found. [04:53] chuy: You need to add it to your fstab [04:53] ok sorry its my first time lol [04:53] hi all [04:53] chuy if its an ide/sata internal drive - you have to add it to your fstab. if its removeble.. you need to remount it every time you boot [04:53] chibong: i'm just saying, get used to being ignored in here lol.

Previously while i was having ubuntu 7.04 on same PC having same configuration, such type of problem wasn't occurred. i will be g [04:54] can someone help me? i can't install ubuntu 7.10 via live cd... [04:54] leandro_: What is the problem specifically? [04:54] leandro_: start by stating the problem. === kaenel is now known as xLE [04:54] chibong: What is the second hard drive's format? [04:54] RyanPrior: I don't need it perminantly. Also, it is mounted in my case. I just need to mount it temperarily to transfer some files, but now I can't find it anywhere. Look through the 3 links I sent. [04:54] chibong: Is it etc3? [04:54] chibong: Is it exc3? [04:54] rodolfo, you don't necessarily need all the KDE stuff in order to run a KDE application on Gnome. [04:54] chibong: Is it ext3? [04:55] shhh [04:55] Man, third time is the charm, bitches. [04:55] nah its ntfs i formatted it with partition magic [04:55] what do i need when i get Error: Dependency not satisfiable: Lib6?

[04:55] chuy: Are you expecting me to find something conspicuously missing? [04:55] ah.. i have Kubuntu and Windows installed on hda1 and hda2, respectively [04:55] I have hda3 (extended), and hda4 and hda5 for swap [04:56] lgc: thuth, but there are rumor that when running a KDE app on Ubuntu, it consumes more processor than running the same KDE app on Kubuntu [04:56] I tried to install ubuntu 7.10 via live cd... and on the page that you choose how to partition the hd, you get the automatic and manual option. I get automatic, but I just get the "whole hd" option [04:57] I'd like to install ubuntu 7.10 on the hda2 (windows partition) [04:57] rodolfo: that is true. [04:57] hey, i m pretty new on ubuntu, i have installed ubuntu 7.10 on my PC(512 RAM, Intel 865GBF, Philips 105G7 monitor), but i have problem on detecting monitor, with the live CD of ubuntu, its was detected at 800x600 on 43Hz, if i got to the Resolution option & change the resolution t0 1024x768 on 60Hz, the monitor says "OUT OF FREQUENCY". Previously while i was having ubuntu 7.04 on same PC having same configuration, such type of problem wasn't occurred. i will be g [04:57] It shouldn't consume more processor power, but more RAM is a definite possibility. [04:57] Thanks guys =) [04:57] rodolfo: because running KDE apps in GNOME requires both gnome and KDE services to be running. [04:57] The command "udevinfo -q all -n /dev/scd0" works all right. But I do not find in 'man 8 udevinfo' an explanation for the -q, -n and all switches. Where to find them? [04:57] I got it working W000t After copying all files to windows guess what it boots up and i have SOUND!Q!!!!! [04:57] but I think i can't... I tried the partition edtior, but I just got one partition also (the whole hd, unallocated) [04:57] what's the java package for ubuntu gutsy? [04:57] does anyone know if i have to reboot, if my ps2 keyboard got disconnected, on ubuntu feisty? [04:57] rodolfo: just a mouse setting conflict problem [04:58] does any1 know what i need to do to get a share hard drive that works on both ubuntu and xp [04:58] thank you Guys who Helped me i cant remeber ur titles say somthing to reconize Your selves [04:58] wat format does it need to be [04:58] RyanPrior: a small partitian of a drive labeled disk (hd1) [04:58] rodolfo, I don't know about that. But if the choice is between a non-working app and a processor hungry one, what would be your choice? [04:58] chibong: Fat32 or NTFS should both work. [04:58] RyanPrior: *a small partitian of a drive labeled disk (hdb1) [04:58] hey, i m pretty new on ubuntu, i have installed ubuntu 7.10 on my PC(512 RAM, Intel 865GBF, Philips 105G7 monitor), but i have problem on detecting monitor, with the live CD of ubuntu, its was detected at 800x600 on 43Hz, if i got to the Resolution option & change the resolution t0 1024x768 on 60Hz, the monitor says "OUT OF FREQUENCY".

[04:59] Dr_Willis .. ty *sigh* I don't know if the cable is bad or not.. i guess either way if it can't see the keyboard, reboot is the only way?

That is supposed to accompany a 71 or so GB volume labeled "disk". I believe that "Hpoop" in /media is supposed to be that volume. Hpoop is currently nothing at all. [05:00] Ok guys i need help on getting Java to work i try run things like www.dodian.com and www.runescape.com and it doesnt work anyhelp? [05:00] lgc, hold on i'm looking at this. and I think you should, too: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=458115 [05:00] xLE : depends what you need, the runtime, SDK, etc... [05:01] chalcedny: Hmm.. hard to tell. I juat recall on some machines they did not like hot-plugging in of ps2 keyboards.. somt times it can work.. some times it dont. [05:01] i need the runtime to run eclipse gekoman [05:01] chuy, you choose some seriously wierd names for your volumes [05:01] xLE: java-common [05:01] xLE, java-package, I believe. [05:01] Dr_Willis: ps2 stuff on my machine broke it squeals on boot if they plugged in so I'm all usb now [05:01] !java | xLE [05:01] xLE: 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) [05:01] Dr_Willis thank you. I can't remember if that got fixed or not in this version. I run vim .. royal pain to reboot everything. [05:02] i got 1 machine. I must use a ps2 on it to control the grub menu. [05:02] i need some help with setting up a tv card [05:02] RyanPrior: bash: /dev: is a directory [05:02] XLe: its sun-java6 plugin under synaptic [05:02] xLE: I guess then that you need sun-java6-jre [05:02] RyanPrior: "Hpoop" is not what you think it is. [05:03] help me [05:03] man this scanner is hard to get running [05:03] xLE, do 'apt-cache search java'. [05:03] hi all [05:03] greetings [05:03] chuy: I feel lost because I'm not entirely sure what the problem is, and I'd let you have another go at explaining it to me, but I'm tired and need to get some shut-eye. If you don't get an answer tonight, try again later. [05:03] hello [05:03] hi [05:03] rodolfo, o sea que este no es bueno tampoco. [05:04] Ive Downloaded all the Java Programs [05:04] im trying to put 45GB in an image file using dd (backing up the / partition) but dd copies until the 2nd hdd is full i wonder what's happening. im in a rescue system [05:04] Question: Running Ubuntu 7.10. Want to know if I can install XFCE as a seperate windows manager just to try it out? [05:04] how do i restart my network services? [05:04] Dingbat: Yes. [05:04] Dingbat: yes you can [05:04] Dingbat: sure can. Install xubuntu-desktop [05:04] spee: $ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [05:04] bot hdds are mounted but im not in their chroot or whatever [05:04] chibong: I think you may need to re partician your harddrive. Make a small partician NTFS format so that it can transcend the Fat32 and the ubuntu drives/particians [05:04] lgc, it depends on your point of view. IF there is no wireless device on your machine it will suck [05:04] spee: invoke-rc.d networking restart [05:05] The command "udevinfo -q all -n /dev/scd0" works all right. But I cannot find in 'man 8 udevinfo' an explanation for the -q, -n and all switches. Where to find them? [05:05] RyanPrior: Thanks anyway... If I get this drive up, I'll name it after you. [05:05] chuy: lol [05:05] can someone help me backing up a partition to another disc? [05:05] c1|freaky, do you expect dd to write past the end of the backup drive? [05:05] lgc, also, as the name suggests, it manages wireless networks (...) [05:06] with watching some AVI files in Movie Player I get a completely distorted picture. In VLC I get a large green strip at the top and distorted colors. Please help! [05:06] rodolfo, entonces ¿para qué lo montaría si no tengo Wifi en mi máquina? [05:06] c1|freaky: you need the harddrive utility disk to copy one disk to another. [05:07] chuy: no you don't [05:07] zetheroo : what codec is ur movie in? [05:07] chuy: dd does a very good job. [05:07] lgc: the thing is, that partimage put on the partition sizes of the old HDDs. in cfdisk it shows 750GB in df -h it shows 150GB partitions. that's all ... too strange. now what im trying to do is backing up that stupid first drive and finally JUST copy the data without [05:07] Nubbie: maybe I don't understand... [05:07] Well again That You Guys who helped me Now i needhelp with my java problem [05:07] allad_: I have no idea.... how do I know? [05:07] i'm trying to play a dvd, but neither totem, moviePlayer, vlc, etc. will play it [05:07] why [05:07] ? [05:07] chuy: dd can back up a partition or disk neatly into a file on a second disk. easy as pie. [05:08] jonaki:do you have libdvdcss2 installed? [05:08] doing anything to the partition table which i first will recreate so i can finally get 750GB [05:08] can someone here help me with partition editor or GParted? [05:08] im going crazy [05:08] how do i do that diskll? [05:08] lgc, that's why you should not install it ;) [05:08] zetheroo : in vlc, go to View -> Stream Informations [05:08] jonaki: first what country do you live in? it might be illegal to install it [05:08] us [05:08] leandro_: Many people can. Please put a more definite question here. [05:08] it's just a regular dvd movie [05:08] joanki: XVID [05:09] c1|freaky, Oh, I see your point: you tried to backup to a bigger disk without manually configuring and formatting it beforehand... [05:09] so can someone help me copyying one partition to the other drive [05:09] how do i install that zetheroo [05:09] sudo apt-get install XVID? [05:09] lgc: no i did format them [05:09] allad_: XVID [05:09] jonaki: well its illegal to install it, i probably can't help you [05:09] bullgard4: I just got 5 partitions, but the GParted don't recognize any... just the whole HD, unallocated [05:09] joanki: sorry.... not meant for you [05:09] rodolfo, I do have Wifi on my machine! [05:09] whats up with the security emails.... am i so-post to update my system or just Waite for an update???? [05:09] are you guys telling me there is no open source software to watch paid for legal dvds? [05:09] lgc: but partimage somehow puts the partition sizes on a place at disc, i dont know of so i cant do anything about it. [05:09] lgc, the truth is there are few options when it's about network-monitor GUI. so far i got very few results spending some time googling for it... [05:09] jonaki: not right now [05:09] !dvd | joanki [05:09] joanki: 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 [05:10] Can anyone help me with my Java Problem? [05:10] lgc: and if i try dd it just finds no end until the 2nd HDD is full [05:10] !medibuntu | joanki you need libdvdcss2 from here [05:10] joanki you need libdvdcss2 from here: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [05:10] And could some 1 post paste bin link [05:10] even the data should fit [05:10] whats up with the security emails.... am i so-post to update my system or just Waite for an update???? [05:10] thbat whole thign is pissing me off [05:10] zetheroo : VLC knows how to deal with XVID encoded movies. if you're getting weird pictures, the movie data is probably corrupte [05:10] c1|freaky, let me try and remember...1.- you setup the partition table of the new disk. 2.- You format every partition. 3.- You fill them with data. [05:11] joanki: you need to search for medibuntu in google ang install libdvdcss2 [05:11] lgc: right using partimage [05:11] guest_ what security emails? [05:11] then i noticed that: http://main.freakyy.de/df.txt and http://main.freakyy.de/cfdisk.txt [05:11] oh [05:11] ok zetheroo [05:11] one moment the server is in rescue mode [05:11] c1|freaky, is partimage the utility that comes with gparted? [05:11] well, in cfdisk it shows 750GB partitions and in df -h it shows 150GB partitions [05:11] leandro_: Hm. Gparted works reliably according to my experiences. I have never met your case. I cannot help you. === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|findip [05:12] lgc: i dont know [05:12] can anyone help me with a tv card problem? === ajmorris|findip is now known as ajmorris [05:12] i seined up for the scurity emails form the ubuntu sight chalcdny [05:12] allad_: its happend with 2 AVI file so far [05:12] Well i Guess not cya guys.. [05:12] c1|freaky, there's a way to control how much you write to a disk with dd. [05:12] anyone using a mustek 1200 ub plus scanner [05:13] Darkmystere, what is your java problem? [05:13] guest_ do you do apt-get update and apt-get upgrade regularly? [05:13] no [05:13] Well i cant get It to work basicly i downloaded all the java plugins ect and i tried a basic java online game and it gave me this [05:13] bullgard4: reliably working, it should display all partitions (i.e., hda1, hda2, hda3...) and informations about it? [05:13] err send me paste bin link so i wont flood wiht a single paste [05:13] guest_ do them as root, let Ubuntu take care of security [05:13] Gecko Man please [05:13] but i do the update manager all the time [05:14] leandro_: Yes. [05:14] I'm sorry, I don't what is a paste bin :S [05:14] Darkmystere my sympathies, i still get a message about java and it won't see some things [05:14] lgc: so now i just need to copy the 150GB partition which is filled with 45GB data to the 2nd 750GB which also has a 150GB partition which is filled with 20GB data [05:14] *750GB HDD [05:14] !paste | GekoMan [05:14] GekoMan: 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) [05:14] Well i can run java (but only for runescape because it has an unsighned applet option) [05:14] GekoMan you paste multi line problems ot the paste bin so others can look at them and help you. you post the url here [05:14] lgc, you just said you didn't: "...si no tengo Wifi en mi máquina?" [05:15] bullgard4: hmm.. thats pretty bad.. i think I got this problem after installing windows on a linux-only pc... maybe.. just an assumption.. [05:15] zetheroo : VLC and MPlayer are probably the best players out there. If they can't render your movies properly, I doubt any other player can. But u can always, another rendering engine like gstreamer [05:15] hi, maybe someone can help me out with this. im running ubuntu 7.10 under vmware, bridge networking, getting an ip assigned in ubuntu, can ping outside ips, urls, router...but can't access any website through firefox. someone knows what could cause this? [05:15] c1|freaky, the 20 GB were already there? Or are they just an incomplete copy of the old partition? [05:15] what software program does something like libdvdcss2 work with? [05:15] any? vlc? movieplayer? totem? [05:15] so i can finally just have a 748GB partition, removing the swap [05:15] lgc: that is other data [05:16] allad_: the same files play perfectly in VLC on a Mac [05:16] does the alternate cd kernel have dual proc support? [05:16] cry0: dns not set? [05:16] Ok here Gecko Man http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50940/ thats what it gives me and if u want u can tell me all the java things i need to install for java to work incase i missed a single thing [05:16] hey i'm trying to configure NFS on xubuntu but can't find etc/exports [05:16] doi you think i should just cp -a the directories? [05:16] ? [05:16] zetheroo: have you installed w32codecs ? [05:16] darkmystere java wont work for you ? is the web browser set up right and do you have all the updates for java when you did the add/remove apps [05:16] cry0:can you ping outside by name or only IP [05:16] zetheroo : then I have no idea what's wrong [05:16] Question: Can anyone recommend their favorite free backup utility for linux? Ideally, I'd like one that has a gui scheduling interface and that can be set to store the backup on a Windows server via SAMBA. [05:16] anybody skilled with NFS? [05:16] hihi. trying to install this: http://wiki.undiscoverable.com/ColorApplet [05:16] FactTech: dd [05:16] but when i configure its saying i dont have pygtk-2.0 , which i obviously do have [05:16] just wondering how i can update the package [05:16] holiday42; i can ping outside, by both name or ip [05:17] rodolfo, obviamente estoy buscando conectarme con Wifi desde mi máquina, si no, ¿para qué preguntar? [05:17] FactTech: or try grsync [05:17] Nubbie dd is the name of the package? [05:17] Darkmystere: You should send me the paste bin you were talking about so that I can look at your Java prob ;) [05:17] Are there any editors on the alternate install CD? [05:17] Nubbie: no .. [05:17] anyone have any help with NFS? [05:17] FactTech: use grsync [05:17] Thanks guys for you paste bin help [05:17] e.g. joe or pico or vi or?? [05:17] Nubbie Thanks very much for the pointer. [05:17] what software program does something like libdvdcss2 work with? [05:17] GeckoMan I sent u the link earlier scroll up i just sent it a few seconds ago [05:17] leandro_: But after installing Windows Gparted does only indicate the whole disk without any partitions? Have the partitions gone due to installing Windows? === ubuntu is now known as setianto [05:17] aszwetl what is that [05:18] c1|freaky, then you should not use 'dd' since it overwrites it if you don't tell it where to write. You should look at the 'skip' and 'count' parameters of 'dd'. [05:18] joanki: every player will utilize it [05:18] lgc, i agree with that. good luck! [05:18] Thats what i get when i try and load the rs Client GeckoMan [05:18] it's not working and i have it installed, astro76 [05:18] Darkmystete: ok, sorry [05:18] any suggestions? [05:18] hello, all. My ubuntu server rebooted yesterday and I only get to a busybox ash prompt following mount failures. I have JBD: IO error reading hournal superblock and EXT3-fs: error loading journal. Any suggestions areound this? [05:18] lgc: i did of=somefile [05:18] guest_, network file system [05:18] usr13, nano should be on it. [05:18] rodolfo, gracias, tío. [05:18] joanki: vlc is good for dvd, try that one [05:18] Ashfire908: [05:18] Ashfire908: Tmx [05:18] astro76, that one works - thabnks [05:18] bullgard4: yeah.. it just indicates the whole disk, but I can boot on windows or linux, and fdisk -l on terminal recognizes the 5 partitions [05:18] hey all [05:18] anyhelp with NFS i'm trying to create a fileserver and can't get the file sharing working [05:18] kind of a problem lol [05:19] umm [05:19] !nfs [05:19] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [05:19] aszwet1: what is your exports file string? [05:19] i like gxine.. seems to be the best for dvds for me [05:19] :) [05:19] U mean Ntfs Dr_willis? [05:19] lgc: if i use copy [05:19] aszwet1: and what type of system are you trying to connect with? [05:19] zylogue i don't have a etc/exports file [05:19] he said NFS.. not NTFS.. [05:19] Hi, Does anyone know how to get NVraid to work in Ubuntu? [05:19] lgc, don't forget to send us a feedback once you successfully got it installed and running just fine ^^ === disk11 is now known as disk11afk [05:19] aszwetl nope i have no idea ho how use that. you can google a google video on it [05:19] problem one [05:19] leandro_: Ok. So Gparted seems to indicate wrongly. This case I have never met yet. [05:19] guest_, thanx guy [05:19] !away > disk11afk [05:19] a nice and ez one, how do i connect to a network drive in Kubuntu 7.10 ? [05:19] i mean, cp, can i, if im on a rescue system (network boot) just do cp -a /mnt/sda2 without the cp processes hanging in the proc or sys directories? [05:19] bullgard4: ok.. thank you man [05:20] aszwet1: well, that is the second step for NFS shares. the first would be to insure the nfs packages are installed. [05:20] aszwetl well it works for me when i cant find what i need to know [05:20] worm: you are refering to a windows shared directory? [05:20] c1|freaky, 'dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 bs=1024, skip=20000'. You should be using something like that if you want to keep your data. You'd be better of reading the fine 'learn the dd command' page. It's packed with examples. [05:20] rodolfo, you bet, amigo. [05:20] Dr_Willis > Yes thanks [05:20] what are the packages called, NFS? Zylogue [05:20] GeckoMan You Still here? [05:20] lgc: does dd cp also empty blocks? oO [05:20] use the synaptic app to search for the string nfs [05:21] aszwet1: use the synaptic app to search for the string nfs [05:21] worm: gnome has a samba browser feature.. good for simple file transfers.. but not playinb video or media over the share/net.. You may want to mount the shares - for that.. Or use the smbfuse tools to let it auto mount them [05:21] lgc: i mean, parts where no data is in? i only need the data, nothing else. so i can also use cp can i? [05:21] Question: I have a strange issue with my sound system -- when I play anything encoded at 96kbps or less, there is a distinct, regular clicking sound in the playback. The length of time between clicks varies with the encoding rate of the sound, and this happens both with static files on the local drive and with streams over the network. My guess is that it's something to do with timing on the routine that translates the recording f [05:21] requency to the playback frequency, but I have no idea how to go about fixing it. Anyone ever see anything like this or have a hunch about how I'd fix it? [05:21] Darkmystere: the application you're trying to use is trying to create a cache directory. Unfortunately, for a weird reason, It can't. [05:21] i wont read thousands of pages now. im getting sick of that. im jsut trying to cp one partition to a bigger partition on another hdd [05:21] nfs-common, nfs-kernel-server, nfs-user-server? Zylogue? [05:21] aszwet1: what type of system will be connecting to this file server? a winsystem or a linux system? [05:21] Im running KDE [05:21] c1|freaky, it can zero a whole disk if that's what you mean: 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda' and it nicely fills up your disk with zeros. Dd = 'data destroyer'. Beware. [05:22] hello [05:22] linux zylogue [05:22] pm? [05:22] Gecko Man this is what i get when i type update-java-alternatives -l = update-java-alternatives -l [05:22] java-1.5.0-sun 53 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun [05:22] java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun [05:22] java-7-icedtea 1060 /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-icedtea [05:22] java-gcj 1042 /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj [05:22] aszwet1: yes, then use those...

[05:22] mmilo What's the problem? [05:22] So i didnt think pastebin was needed then [05:22] mmilo: what is the issue? [05:22] lgc: yea i know that. [05:23] the correct res for my monitor isnt being detected [05:23] Zylogue: seems you have some major data corruption/drive failure. [05:23] mmilo Did you try setting it up as a generic monitor? [05:23] c1|freaky, the fastest way to clone a partition, to write garbage to it or to zero it is dd. Otherwise you'd be fine using 'cp -R' or 'rsync'. [05:23] FactTech: my res is 1920 x 1600 and the highest its giving me is 1600 x 1200 [05:23] ok ill use cp -a as im backing up a whole filesystem [05:23] Nubbie: I'm afraid of that, too...but not familiar with ubuntu DR. [05:23] with different permissions [05:23] and owners [05:23] how do i set it up as a generic monitor?

[05:24] but that dd stuff is making me crazy [05:24] Darkmystere: it seems like you have all the java versions you may need to run your application. I'm concerned that maybe having all of them at the same time may cause problems.. is the application insist on having one of those versions? [05:24] c1|freaky, google for "migrating to a larger disk" or something like that and you'll have a base to do sound things before it's too late...:). [05:24] FactTech: i took a look at the xorg.conf and its detected my monitor as a dell === disk11afk is now known as disk11 [05:24] FactTech: but its actually a benq [05:25] Well i GeckoMan i didnt originally have them all soi tried with 1 and then it needed another plugin ect ect then i ead a post and got all it said.. [05:25] mmilo Well, the type doesn't really do anything except try to provide information on what's safe (in terms of signal speed) to the monitor. [05:25] I've set the SCIM toolbar to show up always on the screen, but it's not showing up D: [05:25] Whenever I type in my site name, I get "Index of /" .. instead, I want it to auto-direct to site.name/directory ?

[05:26] mmilo You may need to restart X for them to take effect. (CTRL-ALT-Backspace) === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFCLI [05:26] mmilo Don't forget to back up xorg.conf before changing it! If it goes wrong, you can change it back on a tty terminal. [05:26] FactTech: how do i edit the xorg, cuz its not letting me do it in the text editor [05:26] Darkmystere: I think that having only the version recommended installed will increase your chance to work but I'm not a specialist in Java, sorry [05:27] FactTech: im assuming i need to do it via sudo [05:27] mmilo It's a protected file, you have to sudo the command.

[05:28] mmile I think gedit is the right app to use, then. Open a terminal, then "sudo gedit", then open and edit the file -- but back it up first with a sudo cp. [05:28] I really need a little help. I just got this new Mouse. It's a "Logitech Marble Mouse" it's actually a roller ball. It has a left and right click, but it also has these two scroll buttons. The scroll buttons aren't working.

[05:38] :D [05:39] astro76: there are users who say it's not recommended to run an app with root privileges. according to the site, that's exactly what gksudo does [05:39] SamsLembas: delete the dot folder in your home directory. [05:39] astro76 more importantly but off-topic wasn't '76 the year the astros played the phillies for the NL championship? [05:39] Ah, of course. Thanks. [05:39] so no NFS experts huh? [05:39] SamsLembas: usually the application keeps user preference settings in the home directory as a hidden file, e.g., tvtime would have .tvtime [05:39] rkj: heh dunno [05:40] rkj: when you create the launcher, are you using "Application" or "Application in Terminal"?

[06:09] I need some help with my sleep mode.. since yesterday, once the monitor gets turned off after 15 minutes of inactivity, it wont revive from sleep mode [06:09] guest_: what apps? i'm printing from firefox, do you mean that or the drivers? [06:09] amber__: Gutsy or Feisty [06:09] ? [06:10] gutsy [06:10] anyone know if the ubuntu release of eggdrop has the same vulnerability as debians? [06:10] lol well anybody.. [06:10] julz can we do a privet chat ? [06:10] amber__: I have personally seen lots of problem with hibernate and the like in feisty. I am told they are somewhat resolved in Gutsy, but I can't speak to that [06:10] darkmystere: ill give it a shot, whats the problem? [06:10] and it worked good before.. i've been messing with xorg.conf, but that shouldnt mess with the sleep mode i think.. anyways, its restored to previous status [06:10] guest_: sure, you'll have to start cos i dont know how ;) [06:11] amber__: Yeah, I don't think sleep is controlled in xorg. [06:11] Disk11 well first of all make a channel so i wont have to be a treasure tooter to find ur new replies [06:11] rodpod: i didn't know debian had an eggdrop, that might let me do a lot of the things i've been frustrated by with Xchat.. tell me more? [06:11] i have a darkmystere 1 1 going [06:11] the message is under the server name [06:11] join it [06:11] its not sleep mode, or it shouldnt be.. i run a webserver on it, or i intend to, so i dont want it to turn itself off.. just the screen off [06:11] julz the message is under the server name [06:11] /etc/default/acpi-support includes the entry: "# Add services to this list to stop them before suspend and restart them in the resume process: STOP_SERVICES='networking'. What 'networking' is meant here? The file /etc/init.d/networking or what? [06:11] except that DPMS thing has something to do with sleep mode, no? [06:12] yeah, i meant to say its not full sleep mode.. or it shouldnt be [06:12] julz well [06:12] any idea which logs to dig through for errors on sleep mode?

My question is a little difficult to put into words, so I hope this image will do the talking for me: http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/3266/screenshotsr2.png - this applies to all file types - undeletable "Open With" entries which I'd really rather get rid of. [06:30] jack linux mint comes with codecs, you could try that [06:30] mikebot: did you get it from the repository? [06:30] you like the mint eh [06:31] jack not really [06:31] i still need to get this touchpad working [06:31] rainwalker, stuff... share folder, src folder, COPING document, Readme and setup.py [06:31] brb, gonna restart x again [06:31] for some reasoneverytime i log in again, i have to change desktops in one line, how can i save it so that its in 2 lines? [06:32] can anyone help me with a tv card issue? [06:32] Ketsuban: i still don't get it. what do you really want to do? [06:32] rainwalker, do u know how i can install it? [06:32] how do you reload x11 [06:32] or xorg [06:33] TheHappyFatElf: read the readme [06:33] Jon__: control + alt + backspace [06:33] rodolfo: Delete the highlighted entry in the list. I have similar trouble with other file types - entries on the Open With list which I don't want there. [06:33] rodolfo: Don't remember. [06:33] /etc/default/acpi-support includes the entry: "# Add services to this list to stop them before suspend and restart them in the resume process: STOP_SERVICES='networking'. What 'networking' is meant here? The file /etc/init.d/networking or what? [06:33] Ketsuban, you may not be able to remove it because it may not be installed [06:34] The command "udevinfo -q all -n /dev/scd0" works all right. But I cannot find in 'man 8 udevinfo' an explanation for the -q, -n and all switches. Where to find them? [06:34] For some reason the top part of my windows arent loading [06:34] jon__, use ctrl+alt+backspace [06:34] like the X and . [06:34] rodolfo: Thunderbird is installed. [06:34] jack: TRied that, still not fixing my windows [06:34] whats the issue? [06:34] I have no title bars on my windows [06:35] did you change it to be that way, maybe? [06:35] mikebot: if you are talking about 1.51, then it has something to do with your video card [06:36] mikebot: check it out on MISC > ABOUT [06:36] what was the name of the not-berylk thing i just enabled? [06:36] jack: possibly, but I don't know what I have done, was messing with compiz settings earlier but they wouldnt like, change automaticly just by turning them on or off, so i might of changed something [06:36] non-beryl* [06:36] compiz? yeah, that was it [06:36] yeah, it hijacks everything [06:36] hello all [06:36] a bit of a monsterI think [06:37] Brandon Henri beat Chuck Norris in arm wrestling. [06:37] rodolfo: the entry was first listed as "Mozilla Thunderbird" and WAS removable; I removed it and it replaced itself with that one which is not removable. [06:37] I AM SO HUNGRY! Food for da great Brandon Henri! [06:37] mattholimeau: Compiz Fusion [06:37] hellp vwhydrowv [06:37] Ketsuban, so you want to remove thunderbird from the 'open with' options tab [06:37] Yes. [06:37] jack: Any help? =/ [06:37] nick jorian [06:37] once i get this system up, can someone give me a hand with ntfs-3g [06:38] i cant get it to notice read/write access [06:38] just read access [06:38] look under your compiz config settings manager and it should be somewhere there [06:38] give me a sec and ill hunt [06:38] ok [06:38] Ketsuban, hold on let me check this out here.. [06:38] thanks [06:39] why VLC can't open DVD-9 ? [06:39] jack: Ah, it was window decorations, they were turned off. Thanky ou [06:39] np jon, glad to have helped [06:40] its set to have write access for removable drives [06:40] i dont use compiz, i like beryl instead [06:40] I thought compiz was just a big package with beryl stuff [06:40] naw, they are totally seperate [06:40] same idea though, 3d fancy stuff [06:41] beryl and compiz merged to make Compiz Fusion [06:41] anyone have this issue? [06:41] compiz has always screwed up on me, im on an intel blah blah intergrated graphics chip with this laptop [06:41] is it possible to save my option for my workspace to be in 2 roaws? [06:41] i hear the nvidia drivers and compiz fusion is great though [06:42] pvl1: are you using compiz? [06:42] Ketsuban, i would say that it's still there because of some thunderbird-related plugin [06:43] rainwalker, no, i wish [06:43] rodolfo: Thanks. [06:43] when someone gets a chance, i need a hand with ntfs-3g [06:43] mikebot: np come back if you have more questions.. [06:43] pvl1: well then you can just right-click on the workspace switcher in your panel and change it to 2 rows [06:43] vwhydrowv: probably better to ask [06:44] i did, didnt get a response [06:44] vwhydrowv: maybe no one knows [06:44] rodolfo: what do you suggest? I have Thunderbird installed, but I don't see why that should impact whether it's listed in the Open With list for a particular (unrelated!) file type. [06:44] rainwalker, i do that, remove it since i do it from the keyboard, and it wont save [06:44] its not giving read/write access to the drive, wondered if anyone has had this issue before? [06:44] rainwalker, sorry i gotta go [06:45] rodolfo: this isn't just HTML files and Thunderbird - I have an undeletable Firefox listing in the Open With list for PNG files, and the same will be true for other filetypes. [06:45] pvl1: well i think you have to leav it [06:45] leave* [06:45] because if you don't leave it, it will go back to one tow [06:45] row* [06:45] jeez, I just can not type [06:46] anyone here using a core 2 duo with 64 bit ubuntu? [06:46] Hi. I have a big problem, had it for a while, asked a couple times before, no luck. Hoping to get it fixed this time. Basically, I cant hibernate/standby. On resume its just a black screen but I can see my hard drive working. [06:46] Ketsuban, as I am (still) a newbie on Ubuntu, i would run this command line: sudo apt-get remove --purge thunderbird to remove everything related to it on your system and install it again. [06:47] how do i troubleshoot a spotty connection?

[08:19] okay i just want to get my internet back up and going instead of using a live cd [08:19] mikebot, auto might set it to burn too fast that your player has trouble reading it (mine cant read above 12x burn DVD's) [08:19] Darkmystere: okay, but if Realtek isn't in the RDM, then how would you suggest you enable/renable the driver?

[11:20] hairulfr, are you on an installed ubunut/ [11:20] hairulfr, or inside the installer? [11:20] Sontax, yes, those are previous ones - you could copy by cp xorg.conf.2 xorg.conf? [11:21] khermans: Well, it's has a closed padlock on it and not any option to resize, just greyed out. Installed ubuntu.

[11:22] Quicksilva, /usr/share ? [11:22] hmmm? :o [11:22] Sontax, but if you did this by installing the nvidia driver by some other means other than the ubuntu way, it may not do you any good.

[11:24] Can someone give me a hand with something, I think I need a symlink...I'm not entirely sure, I can explain what the goal is but I have no idea what te proper means are. [11:24] khermans, i cant see anything in that directory? [11:24] Sontax, and there isn't an option for that? if not, you may want to edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change it. [11:24] hairulfr, are you into command line or gui? if gui, i'd suggest deluge [11:24] what and where do i need to add it [11:24] guys i am not able to listen to songs on saudio-vedio streming sites, i can use my audio for listening to songs from the hard disk, could u help pls [11:25] /etc/default/acpi-support includes the entry: "# Add services to this list to stop them before suspend and restart them in the resume process: STOP_SERVICES='networking'."

[11:43] It will view the contents of that folder, correct? [11:43] pick new kernel [11:43] khermans ok hehe moment of truth i guess, so many times i have done this similar thing and it hasnt rebooted [11:44] Hey, is there a good test of Ubuntu vs Fedora somewhere? [11:44] ubuntu is just better [11:45] eckesicle: depends on what distro you want / what you're past experience is with Fedora or Ubuntu [11:45] you don't need to read tests for that ) [11:45] eckesicle, its all linux [11:45] surer [11:45] never tryed fedora [11:45] khermans: is there a simple way to look at what "apt-get install NAMEHERE" and/or "aptitude install NAMEHERE" will install, depending on what name I put in? [11:45] eckesicle, there are millions of comparisons [11:45] IE: GNU screen is called "screen" and I want to easily find out what [11:46] "sudo apt-get install screen" is going to do. [11:46] WNxCryptic, aptitude install NAMEHERE --simulate [11:46] WNxCryptic, well I haven't run Fedora since it was called Red Hat. But I have alot of experience with nix. I'd just like to test around see if i like it. [11:46] What can he the reason that ubuntu by default ships with evolution and firefox, and not thunderbird and firefox? For it's PIM capabilities? [11:46] does anyone know why Ubuntu crashes when i put the latest Nvidia drivers onthe latest kernel update? [11:46] where do output from crontab go [11:47] eckesicle, i think you will like it -- i have used every distro [11:47] eckesicle: if its just to play around with, why not spend some time with both? Just build a dev box and install one...spend some time on it, and then format/install the other distro? [11:47] Obviously everyone here prefers Ubuntu..but that's beside the point :) [11:47] but before i decide what to use i'd like to know what the general consensus is. How it compares to ubuntu. Looking for easy to use for my granny [11:47] eckesicle, gentoo was a long time fave of mine until ubuntu [11:47] khermans: ok i booted into the latest kernel i will check if the font problem remains [11:47] david919, cool [11:47] WNxCryptic, I am on ubuntu myself now. [11:47] kerhams: gentoo is still my favorite by far. [11:47] WNxCryptic, i like gentoo as well [11:47] WNxCryptic, but i dont like using gentoo when i need to get something done quikly [11:48] when i do nmap behind my router i get nothing...what i should set? [11:48] many peple say that LinuxMint is better, cause it is ubuntu, "how it should have been" [11:48] kerhams: its just way too difficult to unpackage and install the way it "should" be done. [11:48] khermans, yes i like gentoo but it is for a new computer we bought for our grandmother so it has to be easy. Which sortof rules out gentoo and others [11:48] toni_studiante, ?? [11:48] khermans, scanning ip from the net i get no result even if they have :) [11:48] descent, no way it has the support that Canonical backs Ubuntu with [11:48] eckesicle: Fedora is a little more GUI friendly...but if this is for your Grandmother, why not go with a rediculously simple distro like Mandrake? [11:49] toni_studiante, dont be a pen tester behind a firewall [11:49] :-P [11:49] khermans: the slowness issue is solved [11:49] This is the last I will ask on this question...I just want to verify I did this correctly...If I used the ln command properly, when a program goes to access the contents of the linked folder, it will look at the contents of the provided folder, correct? [11:49] khermans: is there a significant difference between apt-get and aptitude? [11:49] hi, how can i find out if i have a seperate boot partition? [11:49] !mount [11:49] Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [11:49] david919, so we fixed it? [11:49] WNxCryptic, because mandrake is shit. (mandriva) [11:49] khermans, i should check but what i need to open? [11:49] !diskmounter [11:49] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE [11:49] PurpZeY, yes [11:49] khermans: well the slowness is fixed but the font problem remains =( well i guess half the problem solved is better than nothing [11:50] Hi, all. I'm switching to Windows.. sorry, i've had enough of Ubuntu, and it's tendency to make me work all day. Can i convert my /home partition into an NTFS partition? [11:50] khermans, i personally use both. Used just Ubuntu before it refused to load with the latest videodrivers after a system update [11:50] WNxCryptic, (but mostly because I hate the logotype) [11:50] WNxCryptic, i prefer aptitude -- vi vs emacs [11:50] eckesicle: well...its a fine line. Do you want something out-of-the-box friendly, or a OS that you actually have reasonable control over. [11:50] Arelis: no [11:50] david919, what is this "font" problem? [11:50] khermans: Ok, I see the linked folder within the other folder...I'll cross my fingers...thanks for the help...I try to help around here in turn as much as I can...=) [11:50] david919, you mean in the terminal? [11:50] yeh [11:50] Arelis: NTFS and Fat32/Reiser are completely non-related formats. [11:50] khermans: yeh [11:50] david919, try this -- create a new user and login -- see if they have it too [11:50] morning [11:50] khermans: ok [11:50] david919, if not, it is something from you home dir [11:51] where can I find my wireless USB lan adapter once I plugged it in ? [11:51] hi all.. I am trying to restore a Trac .db file from a newver V0.10.4 to an older 0.9.6 version... do I need to convert the trac.db back to an older version? any help here? [11:51] google is getting me nowhere - 4 cli only installs and each starts services after the login - so I can't access the system - how do I get around this? [11:51] shinygerbil, lsusb [11:51] shivy: lsusb [11:51] Do I need special software to receive networks on it ? [11:51] ere4si: what program are you using? SSH?? [11:51] shivy: It depends what it is. . . [11:52] rodpod, what is Trac -- wiki ? [11:52] rodpod, source repo? [11:52] WNxCryptic, also she does not speak english well so it all needs to be localized [11:52] its a Z-com wireless access point [11:52] shivy, dmesg [11:52] WNxCryptic, haven't got an accessable install yet so haven't got as far as ssh [11:53] ere4si, ubuntu server [11:53] ? [11:53] hi, somebody know how to check inadyn (if it is working or not)? [11:53] eckesicle: eckesicle jesus...the "best" choice is probably going to be Ubuntu..but I mean, unless she's 20 times more computer savvy than my parents are (let alone my grandparents) she's going to have trouble methinks. [11:53] kherman i installed vlc [11:53] nila, not vlc [11:53] still not working [11:53] ere4si: what's causing so many problems with installation? (sorry, I might not have gotten the whole story) [11:53] WNxCryptic, that and ubuntu minimal - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD - do the same - and can't find a solution... [11:54] nila, i told you mozilla-plugin-vlc [11:54] How can I install the latest stable TRAC on ubuntu 6.10? [11:54] robdeman, sudo aptitude install trac [11:54] kherman it happenend when i installed volume monitor [11:54] WNxCryptic, services start after the login prompt - so I can't login [11:54] nila, then remove it [11:54] before that working fine [11:54] khermans: well i cant use the command that causes it on other uses because it says no interfaces ect ect, i would have to set up networking and all that crap itd take probably about an hr can we just assume its a problem for both users [11:54] nila, purge [11:54] ere4si: the mini packages can be problematic, you said you have tried an installation of, say... Ubuntu server 7.1 from the full image version?? [11:55] what do u mean by ourge i a msorry i am not a computer techie [11:55] khermans: that gives the v0.9.x series on Ubuntu 6.10 ... where I need Trac 0.10.xx [11:55] WNxCryptic, tried minimal and alternate [11:55] david919, i am wondering if your shell gets messed up on loing [11:55] david919, creating a new user should not affect networking dude [11:55] david919, adduser foo [11:55] david919, logout, login [11:55] i just did it and i couldnt get internet [11:55] ere4si sounds like a bad install (I JUST finished an install of Gutsy Gibbon and out-of-the-box w/ SSH installed I can SSH in with putty) [11:56] i looked in networking and eth0 wasnt there [11:56] david919, did you go into NetworkManager [11:56] yep [11:56] ere4si: but I can't say that with certainty, sorry mate. [11:56] and also metacity didnt load for some reason o.O [11:56] robdeman, gutsy has 0.10 [11:56] khermans might have better insight. [11:56] robdeman, if you want a "hack" install method -- you could install the gutsy package version [11:56] WNxCryptic, two diff cd's - md5 checks ok... [11:56] david919, thats weird [11:57] ere4si: right [11:57] khermans: Gutsy has trac 0.10..? [11:57] khermans: not really to me i spent months getting drivers working i wouldnt be supprised [11:57] robdeman, appears so [11:57] ere4si: so what all do you have installed thus far on the server?

Version 0.10.4-2 (gutsy), package size 378 kB, installed size 2080 kB [11:57] robdeman: trac 0.10.4-2 [11:57] WNxCryptic, killed the services in rc2 and rebooted then new ones start after login [11:57] also only this user can access kismet.confs for some obsurd reason ive tried before [11:57] khermans: right Gutsy = 7.10 .. you are correct. Im on I think Dapper (6.10) which has tra c0.9.x [11:57] david919, lol [11:57] david919, but drivers are not user-initiated [11:58] khermans: aptitude install screen --simulate only gives me the space and number of packages it would install...not the source or what the program "screen" is or does [11:58] my problem: I need to downgrade to 0.9.x [11:58] our sysadmin will only allow Ubuntu 6.10 [11:58] david919, is there a kismet group ? [11:58] khermans: ive tried and tried to modprobe bcm43xx on other Accounts it just doesnt work D: [11:58] WNxCryptic, can't login normal user so haven't installed more than cli ubuntu [11:58] we developped using 7.10 trac [11:58] robdeman, then install from source [11:58] khermans: how hard will that be? [11:58] ciao [11:58] david919, only root can modprobe [11:58] david919: I've had limited experience with those BCM chipsets, they are a bear [11:59] robdeman, for most people , not hard [11:59] yeh ive got it working fine PurpZeY but having some font problems now [11:59] robdeman, first time is interesting [11:59] david919: Font problems...unique. [11:59] khermans: mm [11:59] PurpZeY: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4083067#post4083067 [11:59] khermsn: hopefully not too many dependancy stuff going wromg then [11:59] david919, you need to add the new user to the Admin group [11:59] ok i will try again khermans [11:59] you can do it in the gui [11:59] ere4si: when you installed from the 7.1 server image (the full 600 MB one) and you had the option of installing some of the server packages (like SSH) from the cd, did you use that? [12:00] robdeman, that could be an issue [12:00] robdeman, and why we all use repos :-) [12:00] khermans: aptitude install screen --simulate only gives me the space and number of packages it would install...not the source or what the program "screen" is or does [12:00] WNxCryptic, apt-get source screen [12:00] hi all, I am still not sure whether packet injection works or not. When I try "ifconfig wifi0 hw ether AA:...:BD" , I get an error SIOSCIFHWADDR. I use ipw3945 on Lenovo N100, with the ipwraw driver that comes with bt3 [12:00] Any suggestions? [12:00] WNxCryptic, aptitude show screen [12:00] WNxCryptic, no - want only nfs for headless home server on old comp [12:00] WNxCryptic, apt-cache policy screen [12:00] david919: This is perfectly normal, your machine is entering the matrix. You took the wrong pill. [12:01] khermans: the only command that causes it so far is the sudo aireplay-ng command nothing else cauese it [12:01] PurpZeY: haha when i first saw it i was like crap i hacked myself... again [12:01] david919, command causes what? [12:01] ere4si: you want this as a local file server? are you intending to access it via FTP or what protocol? [12:01] david919, type reset in the terminal [12:01] khermans: i dont know how else to explain it, the jargon assed fonts eg ⎽┤␍⎺ ▒␋⎼␊⎻┌▒≤-┼± -1 0 -␊ ⎽610205 -▒ 00:0E:9B:43:### [12:02] david919, reset [12:02] and the terminal tab i initated the command in gets completly corrupted [12:02] k [12:02] david919, that happens because of output fromm program [12:02] khermans: reset fixes it [12:02] WNxCryptic, nfs - ssh to control it [12:02] david919, you can force a weird eror like that many wats [12:02] but every time i run the command i get the same problem [12:02] david919, cat /dev/urandom [12:02] david919, :-) [12:02] khermans, i do it sometimes [12:02] khermans while thats pretty and all =p [12:03] khermans: Thanks for helping everyone....I do a mediocre job sometimes...But, you are doing a lot now, so, thanks from the community. [12:03] but what does cat /dev/urandom /dev/dsp ? [12:03] david919, thats an issue witht he program,. not ubuntu -- and it has nothing to do with fonts [12:03] khermans: man terminal survives that :) [12:03] my, even [12:03] khermans: it was working perfectly until 1 week ago [12:03] PurpZeY, np dude [12:03] reinstall i guess [12:03] david919: Look at what changes you've made in the last week [12:03] ere4si: log in locally on the system to setup the SSH and then setup NFS from there. If you can't get the NFS services running without logging in, its a configuration issue or its not possible w/ NFS> [12:04] PurpZeY, maybe i will bump into you guys at the next Ubuntu Live [12:04] i spoke there last year [12:04] PurpZeY: thats near impossible ive done so much crap but nothing i can think would have caused conflicts in other programs [12:04] Kristian Erik Hermansen [12:04] if - even after SSH is setup - the services are not starting unless you login...you have a configuration / installation issue with how you're putting SSH and NFS on the server. [12:04] david919, the program? [12:04] reinstalling the airtools ect will maybe help? [12:04] WNxCryptic, how about /etc/rc.local ? [12:05] david919, it sounds like that program is broken [12:05] david919, are you ahcking wifi :-P [12:05] khermans: At least I don't feel like an idiot for not knowing as much...=) [12:05] WNxCryptic, can't log in normal user as services start after the login prompt - have to hard reboot into single user to kill services but then other ones start after normal user prompt - very frustrating... [12:05] khermans: yeah but my wifi and i was so successfull until right a week ago [12:06] PurpZeY, i just love the ubunut community [12:06] PurpZeY, everyone is nice! [12:06] PurpZeY, unlike #openbsd or sometimes #gentoo [12:06] ere4si, what is your runlevel? [12:06] or #solaris [12:07] i will refrain from swearing [12:07] Jowi: ubuntu defaults to rc2 [12:07] khermans: I feel quite similarly....I am amazed at the community itself...I mean, just....Instead of having to call some 3rd world country for help you ask a guy who is like you and he wants to help...like you or me...or whatever...it's crazy.....It's amazing. [12:07] Hi, Xaw TV is working with picture .. but how do i get sound? [12:07] ere4si, I know. which one does your "runlevel" report. [12:07] !offtopic [12:07] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [12:07] PurpZeY, :-) [12:08] PriceChild: Point taken. [12:08] I seem to have developed a problem in which the contents of /home/user are displayed on my desktop, instead of the contents of /home/user/Desktop. Does anybody know why this might be, or how how to fix it? [12:08] khermans: well reinstalling the program doesn't help, im going to cry my only amusment at airports [12:08] neopsyche, try mythtv ? [12:08] Jowi: rc2 - kill the late starting services there then new ones start and stop me logging in [12:08] I dont really need myth tv as there is only one channel input [12:08] david919, is this from repos? [12:09] khermans: yeh [12:09] david919, you might file a bug [12:09] david919, or check lunchpad? [12:09] we know how that will end [12:09] david919, do you have a launchpad account? [12:09] lunchbag? [12:09] lol [12:09] khermans: no i don't =( [12:09] !launchpad | david919 [12:09] david919: Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [12:09] Hi, pals! Is anybody know where i can get flash plugin 9,0,48,0 for opera? [12:09] what a pain in the damned ass [12:09] !flash | bektim [12:09] bektim: 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 [12:09] bektim, adobe.com! [12:09] 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. [12:10] bektim, isnt flash built in for opera? [12:10] khermans: Presumably you know that flash is currently pfft. [12:10] hello [12:10] need some help pls [12:10] How do I remove items from the Places menu? I googled but I'm still clueless. [12:10] whenever i try to burn a cd image *.iso with brasero it writes up to 45% then error [12:10] !ask | x_zeuss [12:10] x_zeuss: 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. :-) [12:10] this is with every iso i try [12:11] khermans: I have vsftpd server setup on a local development server. When I connect / login I'm fine, but when I try to upload a file I get a permission denied error. [12:11] i know the cd-rw is ok because is i write with it from win it's ok [12:11] x_zeuss: Have you tried different software or slower burn speeds? [12:11] are there any special setting i must do? [12:11] x_zeuss, try k3b ? [12:11] PurpZeY: yes, i tried with k3bb also [12:11] x_zeuss, or --> wodim foo.iso [12:11] Does anyone in here have a dial-up connextion? [12:11] x_zeuss, could be bad media [12:11] *connexion [12:11] same thing with k3b [12:12] tried 3 differend of blank cds [12:12] WNxCryptic, check dir permissions? [12:12] x_zeuss: Maybe it's the ISO [12:12] Hello, do I need a d in order for the "wireless lamp" on my laptop to be lit? [12:12] d = driver [12:12] i tried 3 different isos [12:12] x_zeuss, try wodim [12:12] mia: Just for the light? [12:12] PurpZeY: yeah [12:12] WNxCryptic: have you edited the .conf [12:12] x_zeuss, or burner is broken? [12:12] arklinux, pclinusos and ubuntu server [12:12] Grammaticus: I used to... [12:13] zhan_zr: I edited it to deny anonymous logins, but I don't remember changing much else. [12:13] PurpZeY: it can't find any wireless interfaces when I ifconfig, but I can't even get the lamp to be lit, even though I have the swithc on "on" [12:13] khermans: i use it in win and it's ok, no prob [12:13] mia: Some of those lights and things are controlled by acpi, or some small driver that's not worth bothering with....if it's just the light...I have a similar issue with a light on mine. [12:13] asc, Do you know anything about connecting to Ubuntu with dial-up? It seems rather difficult... [12:13] Nevermind. Figured it out [12:13] khermans: but i don't wanna use win [12:13] zhan_zr: the vsftpd doccumentation leaves something to be desired for newbs like me. [12:13] mia: OH! Wait a second, the card doesn't work at all, it's not just the light [12:13] WNxCryptic there is quite a bit of info about vsftp on the web...try google [12:13] Grammaticus: Connecting to ubuntu, or connecting ubuntu to the internet? [12:13] x_zeuss, i already told you about wodim [12:14] i need help with ubuntu 7.10 installer on a system with sata disks: grub-install fails, fatal error. Tried advanced-settings, (hd0), (hd0,4), /dev/sda, /dev/sda5. No luck. Tried find in grub at the terminal, it cant find e.g. stage1. Any ideas? [12:14] asc, Connecting 'through' ubuntu rather -- to the internet. [12:14] khermans: is that another burning soft? [12:14] WNxCryptic and as I recall, it pretty much works out of the box, you don't need to change much in the config [12:14] Grammaticus: Is your modem internal? [12:14] giffel3, sudo grub [12:14] khermans: what about gnomebaker? [12:14] khermans: is that ok? [12:14] x_zeuss, might work [12:14] PurpZeY: right, but I figured I should get the lamp to be lit before trying to get Linux to find a card at all [12:14] khermans, did sudo grub [12:14] WNxCryptic: So it much likely to prevent you write the remote directory. [12:14] x_zeuss, wodim is command line [12:14] asc, Yes -- it is on the mother-board. In fact, I am using a notebook PC. [12:14] mia: Have you tried lspci just to see if it's there? [12:15] mia: what card? [12:15] khermans: i'll try wodim [12:15] giffel3, find /grub/stage1 [12:15] th0r: yes..that's what I thought too but I'm having permissions problems [12:15] t :p [12:15] Error 15: File not found [12:15] Error 15: File not found [12:15] Error 15: File not found [12:15] PurpZeY: yes it's there: 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) [12:15] zhan_zr: what is much likely to prevent me from writing the remote dir? [12:15] oops, sorry [12:15] mia: run iwconfig [12:16] WNxCryptic: The default .conf file === cyphase_ is now known as cyphase [12:16] Grammaticus: That probable means that it's a winmodem, and that you will have to use ndiswrapper if you want to use it. I have never succeeded in getting ndiswrapper to work, but you might find instructions googling 'ubuntu [model of your modem]' [12:16] giffel3, do you know where your /boot is? [12:16] giffel3, root (hd0,0) [12:16] giffel3, setup (hd0) [12:16] giffel3, quit [12:16] /dev/sda5 [12:16] PurpZeY: I only have eth0 (whch I use now) and lo, both with "no wireless extensions" [12:16] giffel3, that is non-typical [12:17] zhan_zr: i just dont see anything that stands out as something in that .conf (I'm looking at it now) that would enable writing to the remote directory. [12:17] mia: and ifconfig same deal? but it's in lspci ? [12:17] giffel3, i think you need /boot in primary partition [12:17] giffel3: that is (hd0,4) [12:17] Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition [12:17] giffel3, but i have been wrong before [12:17] asc, do you think my chances are slim? I feel as if I'd rather not waste my time if it's going to be frustration, etc. === kraut is now known as kraut_ === kraut_ is now known as kraut [12:17] khermans: i never needed that, /boot is a logical one for me [12:17] sda is my primary partition.... [12:17] PurpZeY: yeah [12:17] giffel3, then use andi5 grub command [12:17] zhan_zr: doh, might of found it. Is there a command to restart vsftpd without rebooting the box? [12:17] giffel3, root (hd0,4) [12:17] asc, I haven't used Linux in 2 years -- I used to run RedHat and Mandrake -- never with dial-up. Therefore, my skill is not great. [12:17] so pet [12:18] yes, i tried hd0,3 also [12:18] mia: Hmmm...Have you looked at network manager? [12:18] ehm sorrz hd0,4 [12:18] giffel3: sda is a complete hard disk, ... sda1-sda4 are the primary ones, if existant [12:18] giffel3, then you have issues [12:18] Grammaticus: It's probably worth googling to see if there are Easy Newbie Directions. If there aren't, frustration is a given. [12:18] mia: well, no but I don't see how it could do anything without an interface [12:18] @ PurpZeY === kraut is now known as kraut_ [12:18] zhan_zr: yes === kraut_ is now known as kraut__ [12:18] anyone? is there a way to stop all server services and restart them all after changes have been made to a .conf without rebooting the box? [12:18] hi [12:18] i have a winxp partition, after that an extended partition with ext3 and swap [12:19] this channel is really busy [12:19] the ext3 one is sda5 [12:19] hm [12:19] giffel3, fdisk -l [12:19] hi I have just noticed that all the directories in my /root have execute privileges for everyone - is that the default? [12:19] asc, All right -- thank you. I'll try [12:19] WNxCryptic: which .conf and why all services? [12:19] mia: Yeah, I'm thinking you need an acpi or something....There is a step missing and it's weird b/c intel cards usually work oob [12:19] Good luck. :p [12:19] Haha -- it is much needed.

[13:20] lame [13:21] andy1: do you have vista ultimate installed? [13:21] how do I set PATH? [13:22] Vista Premium [13:22] (Home PrE) [13:22] i have ultimate [13:22] .. good for you? [13:22] well? [13:23] well what? [13:23] how do I set PATH [13:23] andy1: the howto supplied by ubotu is really old [13:23] Xavier_Z so is there a better way? [13:24] achbar, for temporary use PATH="$PATH:WHATEVER" && export PATH [13:24] Anybody knows Manu Cornet? [13:24] achbar, what path r u trying to set? [13:24] hey guys - my grub isnt loading stage2 - can i get some help [13:24] !specific [13:24] my gnome session startup is very slow about 40 to 50 secs after GDM screen, i use nvidia card [13:24] achbar do you want to add to the path or redefine it completely? [13:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about specific - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:25] /private/use/bin [13:25] andy1: i guess try this one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [13:25] I don't want fake raid - I have HW raid [13:25] andy1 which card do you have [13:25] something like that [13:25] achbar to add that to the path use 'export PATH=$PATH:/private/use/bin' [13:25] can i get the termcap value for ALT+RIGHT ? [13:26] its an Adaptec [13:26] do I type export [13:26] achbar yes everything inside the '...' [13:27] ok and you're problem is that the kernel panics out at start ??? [13:27] im running ubuntu on my ipod touch [13:27] achbar, export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin/:/usr/local/bin:/private/use/bin [13:28] hi [13:28] is it permanent? [13:28] Moult, hi [13:28] that's for temporary settings. as soon as you terminate or logout it will no longer search your specific path [13:28] please can smeone help. why would a default xorg.conf file built with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg not work. (xerver crashes on boot and doesnt load) [13:28] is there a way i can create a boot floppy disk for the linux console only? i have an ancient computer, and sometimes instead of waiting for the whole windows GUI to load i just want to go right into a linux console and do my editing there. is it possible? [13:29] where do I make it permanent? [13:29] i can't use resize on partition editor y? [13:29] thge only way for me to boot up is to completely delete xorg.conf [13:29] on gutsy why does it take so long (40 to 50 seconds)to load gnome after entering username in GDM screen, i use dell laptop with nvidia card [13:29] xirc.net [13:29] i have got a windows boot floppy, but the DOS is very primitive...or i know very little about DOS [13:29] achbar, to set it up permanently. edit your .bash_profile file [13:30] so I just added a bunch of entries to my hosts file to be able to resolve some DNS troubles, but I can't locate the nscd script to restart all that mess within init.d [13:30] Quicksilva: did you choose the correct driver when prompted? [13:30] kay [13:30] What do I need to restart to reload the hosts file? [13:31] Xavier_Z, i use default for all [13:31] I let it auto detect [13:32] i think im using the open source ati driver [13:32] shnastybiznastic I don't think you need to restart anything...I think it is read every time it is needed [13:33] th0r, okay, that's just counter to my other linux experience. [13:33] shnastybiznastic yeah...you would think there should be some magic incantation [13:33] Xavier_Z, which one should i be selecting? I have a ti radeon 9600XT and i installed open source drivers [13:33] well, on slack, debian and hat there is [13:34] achbar, if it doesn't exist; create it [13:34] Quicksilva: i'm assuming that you've installed the binary driver, since the open source driver is installed by default on all ubuntu systems [13:34] shnastybiznastic for hosts? I think it is accessed first before a dns request is sent out...so it isn't cached anywhere [13:34] t [13:34] Quicksilva: if that's the case, then you need to select the fglrx driver [13:34] I might just be crazy then [13:34] shnastybiznastic testing...just a sec [13:35] ok. will try that now. and see if it works [13:35] i'm having a brain and google freeze. where to you tell ff to report as ie? [13:35] th0r i restart my network and i get the following error /etc/network/interfaces:10: unknown method...need help [13:35] google freeze. i think i coined a new phrase. [13:35] Navlop pastebin the file /etc/network/interfaces [13:36] k [13:36] shnastybiznastic I just added a name for my server to hosts and was able to ping the name....so no, no restart or reload necessary [13:37] alright [13:37] th0r how i'm loading server, no desktop or gui installed... [13:37] larson9999: try about:config > search useragent [13:37] Navlop well...the problem is in line 10 of that file...best I can do if you can't pastebin the file [13:38] k let me check line 10 [13:38] B-rabbit: Your answer is not helpful. [13:39] hello, I am trying to do a "configure" to compile a program and get this: checking for libevent directory... configure: error: Could not find a linkable libevent. You can specify an explicit path using --with-libevent-dir [13:39] anyone help? [13:40] fixed it, had the word static with a capital S [13:40] bullgard4, http://www.google.com/linux ....this is a search engine for linux only i found it useful. === julioh is now known as wipo [13:41] hi [13:41] http://cadodivagando.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/bill.jpg [13:41] iCEifer check to see if you have libevent installed [13:42] th0r, I installed libevent1 using the package manager [13:42] iCEifer when compiling, you need the dev package also [13:42] iCEifer libevent-dev [13:43] bullgard4, did that help? [13:43] th0r, okay, let me try that [13:45] what is a quick way to figure out what wireless encrpytion that is currently in use? [13:45] so, my digital camera isn't detected as a digital camera after I changed motherbord... still same os-disk and cpu... any ideas? [13:45] Enselic ask the admin [13:46] th0r: I am the admin :d [13:46] Enselic check the wifi hub/router config [13:46] Enselic you can access it via ethernet (wired) even if you don't know the encryption key) [13:46] is it detected at all? [13:47] th0r: tha't not easy and quick :) I'm thinking like a command | grep [13:47] can anyone suggest a good CD burning program? [13:47] th0r: I am connected to the wirleess [13:47] th0r: or rather, a friend of my am [13:47] k3b [13:47] krux0: Jan 6 14:38:56 bunke kernel: [48986.281899] usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9 [13:47] Jan 6 14:38:56 bunke kernel: [48986.352360] usb 1-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [13:47] Enselic if it is already set up on your computer you can see it in /etc/network/interfaces [13:47] Krumar: then nothing more [13:47] th0r: I want to give him easy instructions of how to find what encruyption he uses [13:47] Xavier_Z, i tried fglrx driver and instead of showing me server cannot load error thing. i just got a blank screen, this is so wierd. what drivers should i be using for max graphics performance? [13:47] th0r: it's managed by NetworkManager [13:47] Enselic just a sec [13:48] th0r, I installed the dev and still get the same thing? [13:48] krux0: even, "then nothing more" [13:48] krux0: canon ixus 70... worked like a charm with old motherbord. usb shouldn't be that different? [13:49] Enselic not sure about network manager...but if you right click on it and check the interface properties, I think you will find a dropdown for the encryption [13:49] Hestv4, I assume that is your dmesg outout [13:49] krux0: sure! [13:49] or does anyone know the best drivers for 3d performance? im using an ati radeon 9600xt [13:49] Hestv4, see if any new devices were created in /dev/ [13:50] !ati | Quicksilva [13:50] Quicksilva: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [13:50] should be sgX or sdX [13:51] iCEifer that's become an interesting question...I can't find the encryption identified anywhere. Found the key....but not the encryption. [13:51] krux0: latest changed are ptmx, xconsole and tty :( [13:51] any idea why gutsy takes about 45 seconds to load after the GDM screen??? [13:51] th0r, np...can you suggest a good CD burning program? does one come with ubuntu [13:52] iCEifer infraRecorder [13:52] Hestv4, this is strange [13:52] iCEifer I like brasero, but haven't had a chance to use it much yet. [13:52] iCEifer: gnomebaker K3B ..... check synaptic there are many [13:52] brasero [13:53] krux0: sure it is. I wouldn't ask otherwise :P [13:53] iCEifer gnomebaker works pretty good.. and k3b is more refined [13:53] this shouldn't happen after a mobo switch [13:54] thanks everyone. [13:54] krux0: different usb chip or something.. any hal change or so? [13:55] usb support is a kernel thing...hal and udev are tricky [13:55] try reinstalling them [13:55] I cant run ubuntu live cd in my Olibook ! =( After selecting Start or Install ubuntu it just hungs up =( === ^tmjb^ is now known as tmjb [13:55] I tryed noapic nolapic but nothing happends [13:55] krux0: reinstalling hal and udev? may I ask how? those are new things for me.. [13:56] Ropechoborra: try remove "splash", that helped on my geforce 8400gs [13:56] I also did that [13:57] Hestv4: apt-get install --reinstall hal udev or maybe it's hald [13:57] not sure [13:57] i avoid it as much as possible [13:58] krux0: no change :( [13:59] how can i scan for existing wireless networks from cli? [13:59] madwifi [13:59] bidossessi, sudo iwlist interface scan [13:59] thx [13:59] krux0: w8. I'll try my sd card reader... [14:00] ok [14:01] Ropechoborra, i had the same problem on my hp. i think i had to use the alternate install cd [14:01] hello ther [14:01] there [14:02] krux0: that one is dead too.. I'll try a usb stick [14:02] is this a chat room [14:02] larson9999 did it work? [14:02] hi, somebody can help me to install gimp's plugin? Where must be put it? [14:02] thank you [14:02] krux0: oh oh.. even the usb stick is dead in the same way. [14:03] where can I find a list of everything that ubuntu/gnome runs at startup? apps and such? [14:03] krux0: although keyboard and mouse works... [14:03] yeah, it's running gutsy now. the thing is my memory sucks so bad and i install on a lot of pcs, i forgot exactly what i did. i think it was putting noapic nolapic and using the alternate cd. [14:03] how is google earth [14:04] pawan, nice [14:04] larson9999 Ok, I'll try that :) Hope it works.. What does the alternate cd have that the original dont? [14:04] u use it [14:05] ciao [14:05] !list [14:05] a!addon [14:05] !addon [14:05] 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 [14:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about addon - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:06] !alternate [14:06] The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal [14:06] Ropechoborra, i don't really know. i just use it when the normal one doesn't work. me personally, i think they should combine them somehow so that new people don't get turned off becuase the regular cd doesn't work for them. [14:07] krux0: bluetooth on usb works.. seems to be umass related [14:07] larson9999 I think the alternate doesnt use the live cd and graphics so it avoids many problems.. Dont think there is a way to combine [14:08] Ropechoborra you are right...the alternate uses a text mode installer and is meant for expert installations, installations on machines with limited resources, etc [14:08] how do i edit the "places" menu items? [14:08] hi [14:08] Ropechoborra I don't think there is much difference in the contents of the CDs, just the installer used [14:08] Ropechoborra, no, there's way's other distros do it. maybe it's not possible to do that and keep to one cd. i just think it makes sense to get more people working with the main cd. not a deal breaker for me. just my suggestion. [14:09] olaff you can add things to Places by adding Bookmarks in nautilus [14:09] so I installed ubuntu with 'alternative' disk, and now my system is broken. "disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter" [14:09] help? [14:09] Well im going to check that.. be right back [14:09] th0r: how do i do that? [14:09] Hi Everyone [14:10] My Arabic language is messed up how to do it right? [14:10] olaff open a folder in nautilus, then choose Bookmarks and Add a Bookmark. I don't use gnome so I am working from memory [14:10] ahh thanks th0r [14:10] puppetmaster mine is too...but my swedish and spanish aren't bad for an american [14:10] gotit [14:11] So what is the solution? [14:11] how about making something start automatically with ubuntu? [14:11] I succeeded to install it and I can write arabic [14:11] sysKin either you didn't install the boot loader or it installed incorrectly. Just a sec and I will pastebin what notes I have on restoring grub. [14:12] th0r: it asked me to install grub and I agreed. there is a windows system installed as well (obviously now bricked) [14:12] when I read any file it appears in some strang symbols [14:13] olaff: apps-system-prefs-session-startup tab and then add the command [14:13] Well i need help all the sudden my 10-1 key stopped working (i.e i cant type it) [14:13] sysKin do you have the windows install cd avaiable? [14:13] test [14:13] i need it because alot of my passwords ect use the number 8+1= [14:13] can some 1 help [14:13] th0r: yes. should I do the usual fixboot/fixmbr? I need linux :) [14:14] ahh haa thanks ere4si [14:14] i see the blinking key when i press it and i can do the Shift+(8+1 key) [14:14] and get ) [14:14] k [14:14] ( [14:14] can anybody here suggest a linux distro that can fit on a floppy just for me to run the linux console? [14:14] sysKin well...I have some notes on restoring grub, and some on adding windows to the grub menu if you want to go that way. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50961/ [14:14] Maybe BackTrack Or Kubuntu [14:14] thanks th0r [14:14] sysKin be aware some of those notes are for suse, but there are good notes on ubuntu as well. [14:15] anyone help? [14:15] could someone suggest a channel for wireless help? [14:15] sysKin and if you want to restore windows with fixmbr and then go from there....it should be possible to reinstall grub after without reinstalling everything [14:15] #madwifi? [14:16] thanks Darkmystere but that channel is empty [14:16] Crocd : did u ever get that working yesterday? [14:16] crocd : sir ? [14:16] Dave-Id if you would ask the question maybe someone here could help [14:16] ytyyy [14:16] Well, downloading the Alternate cd :) [14:16] Dave: lol sorry i thought it would have some 1 in it by now they didnt help me either i stayed for 3hours no luck -.- i cant beileave there wher 500+ idle people there [14:17] hello [14:17] okay th0r, as far as I can tell I need ndiswrapper to make my wireless work on ubuntu live cd....but i can't even find my driver....so I was just looking for a new source of info other than the ubuntu help files because they just keep taking me in cirlces [14:18] perhaps there is another good info site? [14:18] Moult: http://www.linuxlinks.com/Distributions/Floppy/ [14:18] lol dave Id Maybe Trey #wireless lol [14:18] No dave u don't ;) [14:18] thanks Darkmystere [14:18] Moult: can't recommend any, since I've never used a floppy-based distro, but that should give you a place to start [14:18] U need wl-apsta.o [14:18] Dave-Id there should be some good info on ndiswrapper. The drivers you need are the windows drivers for your wifi, and those should be easily downloaded from the web. [14:18] Dave-Id without the device driver i dont think you could do much =/ [14:18] would you like me to make it available to you sir ? [14:19] Dave-Id: if you really need ndiswrapper, it uses the windows driver... but you should ask your question here [14:19] Dave-Id Lol your Welcome i found it using the search for text interface int he channel thing [14:19] Dave-Id: you will find the drivers for your hardware on the website of the manufacturer [14:19] Moult: You'd have a bigger selection if you chose to put linux onto a thumbdrive :) [14:19] Dave-ID ... what type of pc do u have sir ? [14:19] what is wl-apsta.o? [14:19] dell laptop [14:20] inspiron 1300 [14:20] k.. let's go from there sir.. [14:20] FrostRat: i downloaded tomstrbt, but it's 2.4mb, i only have a 1.38mb floppy [14:20] Broadcomm chipset ? internal mini or usb external sir ? [14:20] it just says it's not suggested or supported ;) [14:20] hi guys... It seems like I'm missing "build" in my kernel: Makefile.inc:66: *** /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-rt/build is missing, please set KERNELPATH. Stop. - How would I add this? [14:20] broadcomm [14:20] Well i need help with Madwifi I can get into Monitor mode But Airodump-ng shows no Access Points [14:20] at least that's what show in hardware [14:20] Ok... live cd doesn't let u make permanant changes .. Uhave to have ubuntu installed sir.. [14:20] n1mda did you install the kernel sources? [14:21] Moult: I'm sure you'll be able to find something that'll just fit... I guarantee that somebody out there has wanted to do that as well. :D [14:21] fair enough [14:21] Lemme put the wl-apsta.o driver i use for mine... ok ? on my http server [14:21] th0r: no... are they in the normal repo? [14:21] maybe i'll have to install it then [14:21] from there you might be able to use it .. to enable ur wireless.. it's what makes mine run.. [14:21] n1mda I believe they are...give it a try [14:21] is it something i could d/l in windoze then use from the live cd? [14:22] David-Id Usually if ur Adapter is Compatible [14:22] it automaticly lets u use wireless with the restricted driver [14:22] yes.. [14:22] bonjour [14:22] im enabling it for you dave-id it's a driver i use.. 1 moment m8 [14:23] th0r: That fixed it :) Wonders! === Geek__ is now known as faileas [14:24] n1mda I have my moments [14:24] minh [14:25] vanminh_dv03@yahoo.com [14:25] AnyOne want to help Meh?

[14:26] hello, i want know if yast4debian is compatible with ubuntu? (note that the way to install is adding a repository) [14:26] Last night I wanted to make my new mouse work. some people in here gave me a link to a page that showed how to edit some x11 file.. Xconf or something? I did that. When I retarted the computer, it said that x was not configured right. It all crashed. [14:26] sorry Darkmystere i'd help if i knew anything [14:27] david-id ; http://68.63.254.236 from there youwill see the file wl-apsta.o [14:27] Darkmystere what exactly do you need? [14:27] hi al [14:27] all [14:27] let me know if u are able to access it.. if not .. I will enable the port on my router.. for u [14:27] ubuntu 6.0.6 equal to fedora 7 or 6? [14:27] k...thanks [14:27] I couldn't even start Ubuntu. So I thought I had to boot into Microsoft to come on here for help. So I tried that and it said xp needed to restore. So I did that. And then it reinstalled xp. And now it doesn't even go to grub [14:27] !xconfig | emma you can use this to fix it [14:27] emma you can use this to fix it: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes [14:27] I mean pkg in fedora 6 or 7 can work under ubuntu 6.0.6? [14:27] everyone here likes to boot into microsoft now and again emma... [14:27] emma the file was probably xorg.conf and it appears you might have not editied it correctly. Did you by any chance make a backup of the file before you changed it? [14:27] Hi all! [14:28] What package do I get the command "htpasswd" from? [14:28] page cannot be displayed [14:28] ok 1 oment.. [14:28] emma: :( [14:28] setting myself as dmz ;) [14:28] !fixgrub | emma [14:28] emma: 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 [14:28] ok [14:28] try now david [14:28] k [14:28] rapha: probably apache, type the command in a terminal, and it will tell you what to install [14:28] th0r yes sort of. I cut and paste the part I changed into a different file and saved it on the desktop. [14:28] it should be up and running for u sir.. [14:28] how does one move a users home directory from one machine to another ? [14:28] emma nope...fixgrub won't help. If you reinstalled windows it probably reformatted the drive and you lost ubuntu. [14:29] says i don't have permission to access this file [14:29] astro76: It says "command not found". [14:29] but the page shows [14:29] right click and save it.... [14:29] astro76: Could you try for me pls? [14:29] rapha: what version of Ubuntu are you running? [14:29] th0r -- But it doesn't seem like it was a reformat because my files that I had in windows are still here in xp. [14:29] astro76: Dapper Drake (it's a server) [14:29] astro76: But I'm using lighttpd, so that's why I probably don't have it. [14:29] emma ok...then you might still have ubuntu as well [14:29] rapha: ah guess they didn't have that feature then... htpasswd is in: mini-httpd, thttpd-util, and apache2-utils [14:29] emma you can get into windows just fine now, right? [14:30] Yeah [14:30] Thanks astro76! [14:30] I'm in windows right now. [14:30] emma ok....jeez...I just had that pastebin ....just a sec...I will get you the info you need. [14:30] It lost my wall paper but stuff I oridinally had on the desktop and programs are all still here. [14:30] i dunno...brings up a pop up saying internet explorer isn't able to access this file or the page is unavailable [14:30] is there another tool like ntsfix to repair a ntfs disk ? [14:30] i don't get the area of the circle [14:30] emma hang on.... [14:30] what ver of fedora equal to ubuntu 6.06? [14:30] emma: I think the fixgrub should work, because I am guessing this "repair" process also "fixed" the mbr ;) [14:30] minh [14:30] but now that i know the name of the file i'm sure i could find it [14:30] thanks Ximal [14:31] not really dave-id .. u will need it to enable the wireless restricted driver upon installation [14:31] i want to connect hacker [14:31] It was horrible. I didn't think that some problem with xconfig in ubuntu would make windows think it needed to 'repair'.. :| [14:31] here ... email me and i will send you the file if u want ... [14:32] use the address I sent you in pm [14:32] What is the best way to copy a users home directory from one machine to another ? Both machines are on the network [14:32] What happened was I got this new mouse and I wanted to make all of its buttons work. So I followed this link and I made changes to a file called x11/xconf(or something like that) I just cut and paste what was on the link. But I also cut and paste what I was replacing into a different file. [14:33] emma shouldn't have....not sure what has happened. But I am working on the assumption it was just an X problem. So first step will be to restore grub so you can try to boot into ubuntu. [14:33] emma let me know when you are ready [14:33] Then when I restart the computer it said it could not start x. [14:33] allobjects, something like: scp -pr ~/ user@machine:~/ [14:33] I'm ready! and thank you! [14:33] is it something i'll be able to figure out? [14:33] the email ? [14:33] emma do you have the ubuntu install cd? [14:33] sorry...no the install [14:34] is it something straight forward [14:34] emma jeez...just realized you won't be online for this.... [14:34] yes.. more forward than most linux installs [14:34] emma that is going to be a problem. let me think this through [14:34] cool thanks [14:34] did you get my pm dave-id with the email address ? [14:34] allobjects, or more generically: scp -pr /home/sourceuser someuser@somemachine:/home/destinationuser [14:34] astro76: since the user on the new machine is likely to have different user number and group number, will that cause a problem ? [14:34] yes....i emailed you [14:34] thanks [14:34] 1 moment then sir. [14:34] emma _ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserv-xorg? [14:34] i also go fuse: failed to access mountpoin when i try to mount the hdd [14:35] *xserver [14:35] allobjects: you might have to fix that with a chmod, correct [14:35] anyone got 3d max running on ubuntu yet? [14:35] astro76: is there a way to list current numbers ? [14:35] hairulfr how can I type that if I can't get into Ubuntu? [14:36] allobjects: another good way is to use tar, it will extract with the proper user on the second machine [14:36] I'm trying to find the ubuntu install CD. If I can't find that then what? [14:36] allobjects: it's in /etc/passwd [14:36] emma: use another screen, i.e ctrl + alt + f2 [14:36] emma did you have anything important in ubuntu? I think your best bet at this point is going to be to reinstall ubuntu. [14:36] hairulfr she lost the boot loader....can only get into windows at this point [14:37] Okay give me 2 minutes to look for the install CD... [14:37] th0r, emma, ahh :) Ok, you could download the gparted super grub disk, [14:37] astro76: thanks will lookup how to use tar and thanks for the /etc/passwd hint [14:37] I've fixed tons of broken grubs with that [14:37] but gotta be careful though [14:37] In a vanilla Ubuntu install, is there a way to log in remotely to the machine? [14:37] Enselic: Yes [14:38] emma it should be possible to restore grub if you need things off the ubuntu partition, but since you can't be online while working on it...it could get confusing for you [14:38] Enselic several...check searcher.myvnc.com/geek [14:39] Enselic vnc and X forwarding via ssh are available in the default install...but NX works much better [14:39] ok dave-id ... it's sent sir.. [14:39] Enselic: hmm only vino (gnome built in vnc server) by default as far as I'm aware... you can install openssh-server for ssh/sftp [14:39] Can someone tell me a away to update a pendrive free space? [14:39] sorry internet... [14:39] if my windows partition is corrupted and I wish to install windows again I think it will overwrite the grub boot loader and I would like the loader to stay the way it is even after I reinstall windows in the ntfs partition. how can I prevent the boot loader from disappering due to the XP install? [14:39] My pendrive is empty and says 150mb used [14:39] th0r: I meant in an untouched vanilla install [14:39] turbocueca if you just want to know the freespace I think df will do it for you [14:39] you can email me if u need basic help dave-id anytime.. [14:39] ok i cannot get airodump-ng to show Acess Points [14:39] iCEifer: you can't prevent it, but to make it easier to repair you could backup your /boot/grub/menu.lst [14:40] iCEifer: best bet is to install windows, then boot off the ubuntu cd and reinstall grub [14:40] iCEifer: You can't, but you can restore your grub, Grub install /dev/sda whatever, something like that :) [14:40] It is really empty, this has been occuring on my system with different devices, there aren't any hidden files either [14:40] th0r: I am concereted wether the mom of a friend of mine is in risk if she has a weak password [14:40] Enselic yes...the only thing not in an untouched vanilla install is NX...I believe vnc is there, and know ssh and X forwarding are available [14:40] iCEifer: ignore me, no reason to back it up [14:40] th0r, nope, I know the free space, but the system won't let me move a file because it says the pen doesn't have the capacity required [14:40] gaff_3, so install xp, boot live ubuntu and just install grub? [14:40] astro76, done :) [14:40] I don't have the ubuntu install CD anymore [14:40] th0r: yeah but I need to enable X forwarding first, right [14:40] th0r, because on df or nautilus it says 150mb used, though it is empty [14:40] But I can get online here with Windows. is it online some place? [14:40] th0r: that's what I mea [14:41] Enselic I think X forwarding is enabled by default now. jeez [14:41] iCEifer: yup. It's not a trivial option, I suggest you practice installing grub somehow [14:41] th0r, are you tho1? [14:41] th0r: Enselic: an ssh server is most definitely not installed by default in Ubuntu [14:41] turbocueca sometimes, depends on whether another thor was logged on at the time [14:41] emma: Is what online? [14:41] k...going to reboot with the live cd....hopefully see you soon...thank Ximal [14:41] No applications are showing up on the menubar [14:41] astro76: openssh-server is not installed in a default install, that I know for sure [14:41] th0r sorry internet probs but anyways i can get adapter to monitor mode but airodump shows no access points [14:42] iCEifer: You can probably use the ubuntu CD to boot off your linux partition as well, work out how to do that incase you screw up ;) [14:42] hair - the ubuntu install CD [14:42] gaff_3, where can I learn how to do this once I boot live? [14:42] th0r, did you help someone with a bcm43xx on some days ago? [14:42] folks i installed trac using 'python ./setup.py install' ... can I also remove it in a similar way? [14:42] th0r I don't have the ubuntu install CD :( is it maybe online ? [14:42] astro76: I wondering if there are other securty concerns I should be aware about [14:42] astro76 are you sure? I thought they had started including it [14:42] Does anyone know how to manually generate a CD TOC file? [14:42] !info openssh-server [14:42] is there a good torrent prog around? [14:42] openssh-server: secure shell server, an rshd replacement. In component main, is optional. Version 1:4.6p1-5build1 (gutsy), package size 241 kB, installed size 640 kB === chaky_ is now known as chaky [14:42] th0r: still optional ;) [14:43] emma: Ah, yeah, tons of places, probably best get it of mininova.org or somewhere for spped, or you could get some light distro, that contains the "commands" you need to restore your bootloader, if you don't have a fast connection [14:43] emma you can download it and burn another....but that will take some time [14:43] Hi how do i add myself as a user on MythTV [14:43] ? [14:43] th0r, are there any quick command to reupdate the status of a device? [14:43] I have a little time.. [14:43] how do i enable extented user attributes in ext3 [14:43] iCEifer: you're stretching my knowledge a bit I'm afraid. I think from the CD boot menu you can get it to boot from a hard drive. [14:43] th0r, in what concercs disk use etc [14:43] turbocueca what device? [14:43] Enselic: here's a short guide on securing ssh if that's what you mean http://fosswire.com/2008/01/02/bullet-proof-your-server-2-ssh/ [14:44] th0r, my pen for example, it is wrongly saying 150mb used [14:44] thor -- I don't need all of Ubuntu any way do I? [14:44] emma: Your grub farked or is it something else? [14:44] I just need to get back to Ubuntu [14:44] turbocueca ah...the usb drive...I have had that problem, and never found a good solution [14:44] is there a ubuntu equivalent of atl+tab in windows? [14:44] th0r, there should be a file.. [14:44] Well i keep gettin an error when i try and download the backtrack live cd .torrent file it has an error connecting to ppers but when i use a torrent off my windows partion that i mounted it finishes the file [14:44] Enselic: otherwise it is secure out of the box if you don't install servers ;) [14:44] no problem [14:44] emma you need to be able to boot into linux...I will pastebin my notes on restoring grub, but you will see you will need the cd [14:44] astro76: that's what I wanted to hear, thanks :) [14:45] astro76: what about using rsync ? [14:45] olaff: YEs, alt tab .super + tab [14:45] hairulfr I edited x11/xconf (or something like that) to make my new mouse work, and when I restarted it said X could not start and it just hung, so I switched to windows to come on here for help, but then windows thought it needed a system repair so it went through the process of reinstalling xp, and here I am. with no dual boot. [14:45] emma: Ah, ok, give me a scond, I'll try locating what you need to redo the bootloader, [14:45] oic hairulfr: :) [14:45] emma http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50963/ Take note that some of that is for suse, and some for ubuntu. But it does a good job of showing how to restore the boot loader if you can boot the cd [14:45] * tentatrice snickers [14:46] allobjects: would work... it's more focused to the situation where you need to mirror something, because it will only send the changes [14:46] th0r okay [14:46] anybody? I manually installed trac... but how to remove it now? [14:46] try recovery mode and do dpkg x-server x.org.conf [14:46] can i use two different partition of the hard drive as swap? since i just add some sdram to my dapper server. [14:46] bye [14:46] Excuse me. I'm running Kubuntu 7.04 I believe, and Ive got a minor problem. None of the applications that are running appear on the bottom panel like they usually do. I can access them through the top panel's "Windows" tab, but I was wondering if anyone could help. [14:46] sometimes when installing stuff, it doesnt bring up the authentication window, and so hangs... anyone else experienced this? [14:46] I clicked on the link and it kicked me out of the channel. [14:46] astro76: but would it avoid having to chmod stuff afterwards ? [14:46] th0r could you repaste that link? [14:46] turbocueca are you sure there isn't a hidden file in that drive? go to /media/ in a terminal and type 'ls -al' to see what exactly is there [14:47] emma http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50963/ [14:47] the only way i can get round it is it kill the process [14:47] emma: http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/?section=download this is a super grub disk, but if you choose to use it, read the instructions. This will let you restore grub. When you have a terminal, which i hope you will when ubuntu boots, then reconfigure xserver [14:47] emma so long as you DO NOT format the whole drive, you should always be able to do the fixmbr thing to restore windows and start again [14:48] try synaptics [14:48] and look for trac Rodbman [14:48] th0r: Yeah, this one: Fixboot c:, fixmbr, bootcfg /rebuild? [14:48] is there a way to bring up running processes in gnome instead of using terminal? [14:48] th0r, hmm total 6 [14:48] yea [14:48] hi [14:49] th0r, but no names.. [14:49] press ALT+F2 olaff and then type: gnome-system-monitor [14:49] olaff: Yes, sessions, system, preferences, sessions. [14:49] th0r, how do I delete things without name? [14:49] ugh.. im really sorry [14:49] And vralla a Win32 TaskManager GUI [14:49] when i click on the link it kicks me from the channel. [14:50] could you please repaste the link once more. I'll write it down by hand. [14:50] ahh nice one darkmystere: thanks [14:50] emma: Weird, just google super grub disk [14:50] turbocueca yeah...that's a very good question....did you plug that drive into a windows computer at some point? . If you have nothing important on that drive, try 'rm *' and see if they go away [14:50] can I install the apt-get version of trac just over the manually installed version? [14:50] emma: There are quite a lot to choose from, from cd images to floppy images === robdeman__ is now known as robdeman [14:50] emma: for next time, always remember to make a backup of configuration files before modifying them (I don't always take my own advice and regret it!) :) [14:50] th0r, yes I plugged in [14:51] th0r, says it doesnt' exist [14:51] th0r, and rm -rf * doesn't delete that [14:51] Th0r could you repaste that link once more? [14:51] turbocueca there should be two files I believe, called "." and ".." but you should be able to delete everything else. [14:52] (16:47:05) th0r: emma http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50963/ [14:52] emma the pastebin? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50963/ [14:52] haha [14:52] hairulfr thanks for that supergrub link....learn something new every day [14:52] th0r, oh omg such an idiot, yes it is . and .. [14:52] th0r: :) No problem, it's a good one having lying around, for when you mess up [14:53] th0r, yes it is empty [14:53] turbocueca if it is empty then the free space should be good now? [14:54] hairulfr course...I no longer mess up [14:54] allobjects: I think so... you could just: tar cvf --preserve file.tar /home/sourceuser && scp file.tar user@machine:~/, then extract it on the other machine with tar xvf user@machine [14:54] th0r, no [14:54] th0r, the drive was empty already [14:54] th0r: It says that adress can not be found [14:54] allobjects: I know you can do that all in one command from the source machine but I don't feel like figuring that out now ;) [14:54] th0r, but the free space is wrong, and so it won't let me move a file bigger then the free space [14:55] allobjects: err, to extract it is tar xvf file.tar [14:55] emma I just refreshed it. You seem to have some problems going on with firefox [14:56] could anyone here assist with VPN on ubuntu? I'm unable to connect to my work VPN for some reason. Continually getting "Remote peer is no longer responding" errors when trying to connect. [14:56] turbocueca try 'du /media/' [14:57] th0r, 2 [14:57] th0r just a "2" [14:57] th0r no that link doesnt work. [14:57] turbocueca something is not right....what is the mountpoint for that drive...it is a folder in /media [14:57] join #glug-nith [14:58] are you sure it's http://paste.ubuntu-n1.org/50963/ ? [14:58] I followed a tutorial here http://www.longren.org/2007/05/17/how-to-cisco-vpn-client-on-ubuntu-704-feisty-fawn/ and have the vpnclient-linux-x86_64-4.8.01.0640-k9.tar.gz package installed. [14:58] th0r, yes it is [14:58] xomp: Got network-manager, network-manager-vpnc, network-manager-pptp, pptp, pptp-linux, vpnc? [14:58] hairulfr, not sure, let me check :) [14:58] th0r are you sure that it is http://paste.ubuntu-n1.org/50963/ ? [14:58] Привет [14:59] emma: it's nl not n1, ell not one [14:59] ohhh! [14:59] emma: The link works fine here. [14:59] okay [14:59] emma...it is nl not n1 [14:59] Excuse me. I'm running Kubuntu 7.04 I believe, and Ive got a minor problem. None of the applications that are running appear on the bottom panel like they usually do. I can access them through the top panel's "Windows" tab, but I was wondering if anyone could help. [14:59] they look just the same on my comp sorry [14:59] По русски [14:59] with nl... [14:59] is there some software i can play 'show hand' in ubuntu? [14:59] i have a usb wifi donge what are my chances of getting it working? [15:00] turbocueca what is it? tell me the name so I can work some commands [15:00] yes that worked thanks! [15:00] hairulfr, the only thing I'm seeing installed is something called "Devices - Network Tools" that wouldn't be it would it? Maybe I need to get these packages you speak of installed? [15:00] th0r /media/tomcode [15:00] turbocueca just a sec....going for a usb drive [15:00] th0r tomcode is uppercase but for some reason i cant write upper case here [15:00] can anyone tell me how to get movies to work [15:00] xomp: Yes, I think you need those. I've had some problems connection to vpns as well, but the problems seem random and not consistent. [15:00] totem says that i dont have any plugins [15:01] hairulfr, thanks a ton :) I'll give those a shot. [15:01] Okay this isn't going to work. I don't know how to do that mounting stuff. [15:01] xomp: No problem, just right click the network-manager icon and add vpn, it'll start a guide-thing [15:02] I have another idea.. You know how when I was in Ubuntu I could access files in Windows? Is there a way I can access files in Ubuntu? Then I could just save important documents and do a complete reinstall of Ubuntu [15:02] xomp: Left click, i mean, waFTER you install packages [15:02] emma: Yes, totalcommander has a plugin that let's you read ext3 ext2 and the like, possibly there are others [15:02] turbocueca if you type 'du /media/TOMCODE' in the terminal, all it says is '2'? [15:02] emma, you can learn how, but yes there is [15:02] hairulfr, WINDOWS [15:02] emma if your using ext3 then yes, if not then no [15:02] hello, everyboody.

Thanks for all your help mate, much appreciated :) [15:09] XBehave, well the driver for the radio - the component that sends out the waves etc - has to be written for each wireless card/dongle [15:09] xomp:ur welcome [15:09] Okay here is what I want to do... [15:09] does anyone know why when i play .wmv files the playback goes chopping and pixely for a few seconds then snaps back normal for say 10 secs then does it again over and over [15:09] I am going to go to barnes and noble and buy another book about Ubuntu so the disk comes with it.. [15:09] That will work right? [15:10] emma: You could just install a new root partition and chose not to format your home partition, settings and files are saved.... Yes, the barnes thing should work [15:10] emma should work...make sure the disk is there [15:10] Books about Ubuntu that come with a disk, that disk will work for what I need right? [15:10] XBehave, and for some cards/dongles the driver may be impossible to change except by the company or person who made the driver [15:10] emma: Yes, but you could just download some tiny distro that has grub [15:10] i just installed xbuntu on my 27g hd, i had ubuntu on my 4gig to check it out. now i want to wipe out my 4gig hd to use it for storage, how do i do that with out inserting my win xp disk? [15:10] XBehave, that is why i said what i said [15:11] astro76: hmmm.. my english is very bad! :P Well... every time I open up the xterm i need to type 'xset b off' to take out the beep! what i have to do for the system to automatically execute this command for me at the boot? [15:11] Arthur37854 is the 4g drive mounted? [15:11] Okay then I will try to use that disk to do this restore grub thing but if that gets frustrating. I'm ready, if it's possible, to save files from Windows and Ubuntu, (basically like word documents) and then just flat out reinstall ubuntu from scratch and give it the whole hard drive. [15:11] not now [15:11] http://i5.tinypic.com/6jlsr4i.png here it is..can someone have a look? [15:11] MewRS, your english is not bad at all [15:11] Arthur37854 is it an external or internal drive? [15:11] th0r, still the same [15:11] internal [15:12] Could I use Ubuntu Live to get the documents I have saved in ubuntu right now? [15:12] th0r BUT UPPERCASE [15:12] emma: Yes [15:12] If I can just get those files back. and save them, then I can probably just reformat the whole hard drive [15:12] kbrooks: tnx! :) do u know what file i have to edit?

[15:14] robdeman_, you cant do that, you can only do 6.10, 7.04 and 7.10 one after the other or just reinstall [15:14] sure [15:14] turbocueca if you do 'du /media/TOMCODE' what does it say now? [15:14] kbrook: ok.. good to know.. how can I tell which version I am on now?

[15:19] turbocueca ok. Well, if you have nothing of importance on that drive, I would suggest reformatting it. kbrooks just send the command, did you get it? [15:19] kbrooks: it says I am on 7.10 [15:19] kbrooks: i updated that earlier today using hjelp here on teh channel [15:19] kbbrooks: but Webmin says it is still 6.10 [15:20] robdeman_, did you upgrade from 6.10 to 7.04 AND THEN 7.04 to 7.10? [15:20] Arthur37854 do you know the partitions and such on the drive? Do you know how to mount it? [15:20] kbrooks; i dont think so [15:20] robdeman_, well, we cannot help you here... also see [15:20] !webmin | robdeman_ [15:20] robdeman_: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system - Consider "ebox" instead [15:20] how to record online music in ubuntu [15:21] tommy: there isn't much to administer for sshd. /etc/ssh/sshd_config is not very complex [15:21] oh yeah now im on 7.10 then.. ebox works [15:21] i just mounted the 4 gig and i do have a basic understanding of the partition tables [15:21] pawan: apt-get install streamripper then streamripper www.whatever.com - M amount of MBs to capture [15:21] anyone use savi [15:21] any software [15:21] anyone know what this means.got it while trying to install ati 7.12 drivers [15:21] /sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1.2 is not a symbolic link [15:21] th0r, I was in another computer sorry, which command?

[15:23] is it more practial to use ntfs or some other file system? [15:23] Jowi, okey thanks. that file helped me : ) [15:23] pawan: sudo apt-get install streamripper [15:23] I mean: can I re-install Ubuntu over itself? [15:23] Arthur37854 if linux is the only thing on the computer, use ext3. But if the computer is dual boot....use ntfs [15:24] just linux [15:24] tommy: man sshd_config (for more info, AllowUsers etc) [15:24] anolis: sudo apt-get install ntp [15:24] Howdy all [15:24] Arthur37854 then I would use ext3, but it is a personal choice...no reason you can't leave the drive ntfs...just in case you move it [15:24] Hi, is this the right channel for questions regarding to specific hardware setups and ubuntu? [15:24] Arthur37854 it will be just storage for data, right? [15:24] astro76, "ntp is already the newest version." [15:24] basically yes [15:24] installed now [15:24] how to record [15:24] Arthur37854 yeah....either will work [15:25] hairulfr, I finally found everything hah. I followed the wizard thing after clicking network manager and added everything, but when I try to run it from the console (not sure if that's how it's done to be honest) I get a message stating Could not attach to driver. Is kernel module loaded? [15:25] The application was unable to communicate with the VPN sub-system. [15:25] Arthur37854 just not sure if you could run linux executables from ntfs [15:25] pawan: perhaps spend a few seconds reading the man/doc [15:25] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4083850#post4083850 [15:25] pawan: streamripper [URL] - M [amounts of mebagytes to record] [15:25] so i can just delet all the stuff of the 4 gig and just use it [15:25] i have a pls file [15:25] Arthur37854 yessir [15:25] pawan: -M [15:25] Arthur37854 if you want it mounted automatically, just add a line to /etc/fstab [15:26] pawan: left click and info [15:26] well how do i convert it to ext3?

The client I'm going to connect to the server can use 443 [15:26] Is it possible to change the IDE Channel of my HDs without running into too much trouble (e.g. complete reinstall)? [15:26] Arthur37854 do you know the drive designation? sda, sdb, hda?

Might be able to just change it from ntfs to ext3, I never tried. But fdisk does all the work [15:27] hei, noobish questions: how do I run a WM standalone? I can't find anything on Google. Gdm probably doesn't respect .xinitrc, and if I "disable" gdm at startup, startx boots up Gnome anyways...

Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [16:29] unagi: depends on the theme. /usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/actions/ list most of them. icons can be inherited from theme to theme (so one theme can use gnomes stock icons for example) [16:29] i installed via envy the ati driver successfully and then uninstalled it [16:30] kojiro: How do I connect Irssi to Bitlbee? [16:30] thanks Jowi. well, modprobe ufs and mount -r -t ufs -o ufstype=44bsd still won't mount my freebsd partition - ufs_read_super: bad magic number [16:30] but how do i make the controls theme use a specific icon for something [16:30] syntaxerror55: start the bitlbeed (daemon), and then connect irssi to localhost === will is now known as w1ll [16:31] now the logon screen is now complety blurred [16:31] golem1: I thought *BSD used a different type of partition table... no idea how to mount a bsd disk... [16:31] how can i restore the original graphic drivers by ubuntu [16:31] but how do i make the controls theme use a specific icon for something jowi [16:31] I've just recently updated my kernel and added the mactel patches. I now have no sound or wireless. [16:31] Can someone help? [16:31] kojiro: ...er, what? It keeps saying "Register first". Also, it can't read/write from /var/lib/bitlbee [16:31] someone suggest a fstype to use for shuttlign files between 7.10 and fbsd :P [16:32] Jowi mount should be able mount a *BSD partition [16:32] I'm most concerned about my lack of sound [16:32] TschuffaZ: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from a term (ctrl + alt + f2) [16:32] syntaxerror55: what keeps saying "register first"? [16:32] w1ll: All I'm saying is "I have no idea on how to do that" :) [16:32] kojiro: Bittlbee. No matter what you type. [16:32] ／clear [16:32] Jowi: oh. I missed most of what was said :P. I was just chiming in [16:33] Can anyone tell me if the Gusty install CD has been updated since its release? The current one downloads approx 150 updates totally over 200MB each install, which is a problem... [16:33] have tried to install xubuntu 7.10 on my other computer, When i put in my live cd, i select "Start or Install Xubuntu", the linux kernal loads, the Xubuntu loading thing moves left and right, and something called "Busy" somthing loads and i have a list of commands [16:33] thx i will try [16:33] Hi folks. I am experiencing some weird network problems. In a x86 box the DHCP client gets an IP address but is unable to reach anything outside of the local net. The router is a D-Link 524up, the computer is connected via the wired network and two different NICs were used with the same result. Another ubuntu box is working properly (this notebook I am using) and is connected via the wired network. Has anyone ever experienced such weird [16:33] w1ll, i have an fbsd 6.x partition and can't mount it, sez bad magic number [16:33] syntaxerror55: so you are in irssi connected to localhost, and you type 'help quickstart' in the &bitlbee channel and it says 'register first'? [16:33] kojiro: No, I typed bitlbee into the command line to launch it. [16:34] unagi: you define the icon theme in (example) /usr/share/icons/gnome/index.theme . if you want to start from scratch I recommend you to find a icon theme tutorial on the web. [16:34] syntaxerror55: it's a daemon [16:34] what in the index.theme tells the theme what to use Jowi [16:34] I have vmware server on my computer and cant connect another computer to its guests [16:34] It says connection actively refused [16:34] unagi: have a look at the example index.theme file I listed. [16:34] kojiro: Alright, I'm using irssi now. I don't even see a &bitlbee channel or anything else. It hasn't even asked me to log in Dx [16:34] if I telnet the computer with the guests to himself on port 902 it refuses too [16:35] golem1: really? [16:35] golem1 hang on I'll see if I can find that info for you === BeBoo`away is now known as BeBoo [16:35] Off the top of my head I don't know either. [16:35] unagi: it will list sizes of icons. the rest is up to the naming scheme. [16:35] thanks for any effort! [16:35] I have recently applied the mactel patch and am now without sound. My volume control icon has a red X beside it and when I attempt to edit the preferences nothing happens. I get an error message: No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. upon double-click. [16:36] syntaxerror55: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Bitlbee [16:36] what defines the naming scheme [16:36] turbocueca is port 902 open on your firewall? [16:36] !who | unagi [16:36] unagi: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:37] th0r, firewall, on ubuntu? [16:37] !anyone [16:37] 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? [16:37] th0r, well I also have a router, and it is not open... [16:37] turbocueca you going through a wifi? [16:37] syntaxerror55: basically bitlbee is a service that provides a gateway between an ircd (like Freenode) and your chat networks (like AIM, jabber, MSN) [16:37] yup...firewall [16:37] th0r, cable [16:37] th0r a simple cable lan connected to a gateway with internet access [16:37] turbocueca I think the router firewall will affect the ethernet ports also. [16:38] turbocueca ah...ok...how about the other end? wifi or firewall? [16:38] unagi: so if you create a new theme directory ~/.icons/mytheme/index.theme you make subdirs and name the icons the same names that the icons in the gnome icon theme are named. that's the easiest way to start. then add an "inherits" section to the theme file so it will replace icons you don't have in your theme with icons that exist in for example "gnome" theme. [16:38] syntaxerror55: but bitlbee is a service, so it must be run as a service, you probably can't just kick it off the commandline [16:38] Can anyone tell me if the Gusty install CD has been updated since its release? The current one downloads approx 150 updates totally over 200MB each install, which is a problem... [16:38] th0r, connected to the same gateway with cable [16:38] Alright...o.o;...I /connect localhost'd [16:38] If anyone has gotten TVout to work on a gforce 8800 card.. please tell me how you did it, [16:38] turbocueca ok...computer - ethernet hub - computer...basically it? [16:38] Jowi: i still dont understand, i want my controls theme to use a different icon than default for certain things because my controls theme doesnt have those icons included [16:39] unagi: I really suggest you to find a tutorial though. perhaps there is one at http://art.gnome.org [16:39] th0r, yes [16:39] th0r, most like a switch [16:39] where does nautilus burn write its error logs ? It does not write data from not-root filesystem [16:39] i cant seem to be able to download realplayer for linux. i use the site but i cant access : http://forms.real.com/real/player/download.html?f=unix/RealPlayer10GOLD.bin&href=http%253A%252F%252Fforms%252Ereal%252Ecom%252Freal%252Fplayer%252Fdownload%252Ehtml%253Ff%253Dunix%252FRealPlayer10GOLD%252Ebin [16:39] Jowi: it just doesnt seem like i would need to do so much to change one icon [16:39] chazco: Why is it a problem? (HughesNet, probably, because their limit is 200mb) [16:39] i get a 404 [16:40] and when i use wget its still says 404 [16:40] turbocueca I assume you can ping the other computer. Are you sure that port 902 is correct? and have you had it working with anyone else? or is this the first time you are trying it? [16:40] hello folks [16:40] syntaxerror55 - Because in the UK almost all ISP's have FUP... these mean that if you download too much you get your speed cut / disconnected... 200MB of updates on several machines can eaisly hit this limit [16:40] th0r first time [16:40] th0r I cant ping [16:40] th0r I also have a samba lan here [16:40] chazco: ok. [16:41] unagi: that was exactly what I explained. you use "inherits" for your own theme so that you you can have just a single icon for your theme and the rest of the icons gets "inherited" from the gnome theme. [16:41] turbocueca ok....can't go anywhere til you can ping the other computer. Do you both have access to the web as it is now? [16:41] I do a fresh install every so often, which means it happens quite a bit [16:41] th0r, but anyway, I can't even telnet localhost port 902 on the host computer [16:41] th0r yes [16:41] turbocueca are you trying to use vncserver? [16:41] so i cant just drop an icon with the same naming scheme and have it use that one instead.....jowi [16:41] th0r ... no.. fit's just vmware server [16:41] ok. [16:41] My OSS stops working quite often, and I have to stop gdm and remove and add the sound module again before I can get it to work again. Is there any other way around this? [16:42] unagi: you can. but if the gnome theme gets updated your icon will dissappear again. [16:42] th0r folks from #vmware are talking about packet filtering [16:42] th0r does ubuntu has anything like that enabled by default? [16:42] I recentlly added the mactel patches to my gutsy gibbon macbook running kernel 2.6.23-12(or something similar, the latest one from kernel.org) upon reboot my sound doesn't work. can someone help me with this problem? [16:42] turbocueca that's firewall...you said there isn't one. [16:42] th0r no,I asked if ubuntu had one [16:43] i havent been able to even temporarily change the icon Jowi [16:43] th0r, the gatway has one, but I guess that's not the problem [16:43] turbocueca just to check....in a terminal type 'sudo iptables -L' [16:43] turbocueca no...if the gateway has one that may be the problem. [16:43] turbocueca that is what I was asking before. [16:44] th0r, when telneting pc1 to pc1 it refuses connection [16:44] turbocueca first step....check iptables [16:44] th0r when connecting pc2 to pc1 via vmware it refuses connection [16:44] th0r pc2 to pc1 says it cant find the computer [16:44] * Ropechoborra unpluggs th0r. [16:44] xP [16:44] unagi: sudo cp my_paste_icon.svg /usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/actions/stock_paste.svg [16:44] is opera qt? [16:44] ie does it use qt? [16:45] turbocueca first step...check iptables. there should be no rules under any of the Chains [16:45] all of sudden my numpad doesn't type numbers but move mouse.. how do I turn it off?? [16:45] does opera use qt or gtk? [16:45] Hey. uh... I'm new to Synfig, but I sued to mess with Flash... is it the same concept? [16:45] used, rather. [16:45] chymera: qt [16:46] god im so lost [16:46] chymera: or its own theme engine [16:46] th0r, looks like there are no rules [16:46] unagi turn right at third and go two blocks north [16:46] th0r any say ACCEPT [16:46] th0r and it also looks empty [16:46] those icons arent even the defaults being used [16:46] Iptables: allow other users to hack my computer: ACCEPT [16:46] xD [16:46] Can someone help me with a question? [16:47] Nahztu Just ask [16:47] Anyone inclined to solve weird network problems? [16:47] Ropechoborra: there, you just helped him with a question [16:47] turbocueca right. is the other computer also linux? [16:47] :o [16:47] hey guys [16:47] In a x86 box the DHCP client gets an IP address but is unable to reach anything outside of the local net. The router is a D-Link 524up, the computer is connected via the wired network and two different NICs were used with the same result. Another ubuntu box is working properly (this notebook I am using) and is connected via the wired network. Has anyone ever experienced such weirdness? [16:47] so i've got an issue. I had my graphics set up on my install of 7.10 perfect. Had Compiz working well, rotating cube, playing games... everything nice. Then I had to go and mess that up by playing around with the Screens and Graphics settings because I wanted to extend my display to my tv. Now its sorta jacked up. I can't seem to get my settings right again. I have an Nvidia 7600GT running on restricted drivers. Any advice? [16:47] I would, but it just seems there are a billion people on, and I don't know who's busiy,a nd who's not... plus I'm curtious. [16:47] Is there a way to get my live mail in Evolution? [16:47] th0r, xp [16:48] anyone know how i can stop getting the message "for security purposes, this program will not run while system debuggers are active. Please remove or disable the system debugger before trying to run this application" when trying to run zmud [16:48] adrift - Try using nvidia-settings to reset everything? [16:48] it worked fine before i reinstalled ubuntu 7.10 [16:48] anyone else have a computer wake up from standby and then go right back to sleep? This C810 only stays awake the *second* time I wake itup [16:48] Nahztu Well, you ask here, and the one who reads it and know the answer will help you =) [16:48] ljsmithx, If you can set up live mail with POP3, or IMAP, then yes [16:48] turbocueca ok...check the ip in your computer with 'ifconfig' and in the other computer Run cmd.exe and type 'ipconfig /all' [16:48] which one do I chose? IMAP or POP? [16:48] i shold mention i run it under wine [16:48] IMAP is better [16:49] turbocueca I don't need them...but I want you to make sure you are using the right ones...write them down for now. [16:49] ok [16:49] POP3 is sort of outdated now [16:49] Anyone know how to sync a Samsung F700 with Gusty? [16:49] Whats the mail server? [16:49] I appreciate you spelling out the full name, thank you... ok well I have made a couple of creations on Synfig, but I don't know how to animate, or show them to anyone else, but myself? [16:49] mail.live.com? [16:49] Uhm, should be in Live settings... or options [16:49] ljsmithx: if Live support IMAP it's better. [16:49] turbocueca let me know when you are ready [16:49] ok then [16:49] chazco: Hey there, got a guide, for ericssons though, but it might work with yours, the tools are standard. Give me a second :) [16:49] Is there a way to copy a folder from Ubuntu to Windows over a network with a terminal command? [16:49] th0r commands ran [16:49] nitetrip: try asking in #winehq [16:49] hairulfr - Great, worth a try :) === Nuno_Nunes is now known as |_James_Bond_| [16:50] turbocueca ok...if you ping your ip, it should work [16:50] astro76, i have no one seems to know there either [16:50] chazco: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=242932 try that one :) [16:50] chazco, what exactly are you referring to pertaining to nvidia-settings? [16:50] MisterChief with CP ! :) But the path of the file must have the right network adress [16:50] turbocueca ping your own computer [16:50] chazco: It works for my w580 [16:50] I'm pretty sure that Ubuntu is only recognizing one of my processors [16:50] How do I show my Art to the community? [16:50] punkshui: what makes you think that [16:50] MisterChief eg: cp file.txt //pc1/home [16:50] adrift - Alt+F2, "gksudo nvidia-settings" and try the reset to defaults option maybe [16:50] th0r, no problems [16:50] its real weird, it worked i installed form the exact same cd, worked the first time, i tried fedora, hated it and put ubuntu back on and it doesnt work [16:50] Nahztu: there is an art forum on the ubuntu forums [16:50] Hello, whenever i run ./configure on a C source code package, i get the error "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables". What package do i need to install to remedy this problem [16:50] hairulfr - Thanks :) [16:50] Thanks Ropechoborra [16:51] MisterChief: Yes there is. You will need first to install Samba. [16:51] chazco, ok thanks for the advice [16:51] turbocueca ok...and in the cmd window...the other guy should be able to ping himself as well. [16:51] punkshui, test with cat /proc/cpuinfo [16:51] punkshui: cat /proc/cpuinfo. if two cpu's is listed there you're fine. [16:51] when i type cat /proc/cpuinfo i get only one processor listed [16:51] MisterChief: or you can run an sshd on windows [16:51] hi [16:51] Jowi, dito [16:51] punkshui: what cpu do you have [16:51] NiteFire: yo :) [16:51] I get that, I mean... how do I get an image, or Synfig file ready to show to anyone, but myself? [16:51] !tab i have a dual core macbook [16:51] hmm [16:51] How do I find the network address for the computer? [16:51] Would it be just /computer1 or something? [16:51] Howdy. I was wondering how to restor my Firefox to default? The fonts are all tiny and nothing seems to be colored correctly. U [16:52] vendor_id : GenuineIntel [16:52] cpu family : 6 [16:52] model : 14 [16:52] model name : Genuine Intel(R) CPU 1400 @ 1.83GHz [16:52] stepping : 8 [16:52] cpu MHz : 1000.000 [16:52] punkshui, so, what is the problem? [16:52] th0r for sure [16:52] punkshui, dont paste here! use pastebin.ca or sth. alike [16:52] ManuP well I'd like to use both my proessors [16:52] hairulfr - It uses imrc, tried that before and it doesnt work with this phone :( Thanks anway [16:52] !paste > punkshui [16:52] morning everyone [16:52] MisterChief Oh.. yes... Samba i forgot :$ need to install it first to configure the compatibility between the systems [16:52] turbocueca ok...just had a thought...is the windows firewall enabled? (It is in sp2 by default I believe) [16:52] th0r it is [16:52] punkshui: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -c processor [16:52] punkshui: I have a macmini core duo (not the core 2 duo) and it's detected fine. which kernel do you use? (uname -a) [16:52] punkshui, and you only get listet one? [16:52] turbocueca ok....should I tell you what to try next? [16:52] Ropechoborra: Can I install it through terminal? I can't access any other programs (internet etc) on my linux box [16:53] Jowi: I bet it's just flooding off screen [16:53] 1 [16:53] is the output from that [16:53] th0r but anyway ubuntu machine cant telnet himself [16:53] punkshui: Jowi is correct uname -a please. [16:53] th0r ubuntu is refusing [16:53] Does linux have a pagefile like windows? [16:53] th0r yup [16:53] ikonia what do you mean uname -a? [16:53] mame: no it has a swap partition, same thing as windows though [16:53] MisterChief Well, yes you can, but you need to get the sources file first. If you got internet access, then with apt-get install samba [16:53] Hello, whenever i run ./configure on a C source code package, i get the error "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables". What package do i need to install to remedy this problem [16:53] mame >> i dont think so, it has a swap partition [16:53] though [16:53] punkshui: please type uname -a and show us hte output [16:53] turbocueca you should never use telnet...install and use sshd if you need that access, even in windows. [16:53] are there any music players for Ubuntu 7.10 that will recognize my Samsung YP T9J it shows up on the hardware list but otherwise the os doesn't see it. I have upgraded the firmware to the latest revision. [16:54] mame >> think it acts like windows page file [16:54] Linux Skiezix 2.6.23.12-mactel #1 PREEMPT Sun Jan 6 14:15:40 CET 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [16:54] do any kind of system debuggers load up by default in ubuntu? [16:54] andrewm: install the build-esentials package [16:54] turbocueca I would disable the windows firewall and try the ping...I think it will work then [16:54] nitetrip: no [16:54] punkshui: some kernels does not have "smp" enabled which is needed for dual core (or more) [16:54] Jowi: all ubuntu ones [16:54] Jowi: all ubuntu ones should [16:54] I was looking for a program to help me clean up all the hiden folders that are no longer used [16:54] turbocueca no need messing with telnet, ssh, vmware, anything else until the ping works [16:54] punkshui: are you using ubuntu, what version and what is the output of uname -a [16:54] mame: there is no program [16:54] hey guys which is best, elbuntu, geos or geubuntu?? any advice appreciated thanks [16:54] ikonia Linux Skiezix 2.6.23.12-mactel #1 PREEMPT Sun Jan 6 14:15:40 CET 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [16:54] ikonia, could i have accidently selected to have one load when i installed? [16:54] punkshui: that is not ubuntu [16:54] th0r, I just used telnet to test, #vmware folks told me to [16:54] I am only an Artist. I don't know much about implementing my work on the internet to get some sort of critique. I'm sure I should want to know, and I do, but for right now I don't know how to show anyone my creations? [16:54] darn then its a reinstall for me [16:54] punkshui: -mactel is not an ubuntu kernel i think [16:55] ikonia I'm using gutsy gibbon 7.10 [16:55] jonah1980: ubuntu [16:55] mame You say wich folder is no longer used or not =) A program can not know that [16:55] punkshui: no you are not [16:55] th0r, but the ping works.. [16:55] mame >> why dont you delete the ones you know yo dont use in the terminal or nautilus? [16:55] ikonia well i recently patched the kernel using hte mactel patches [16:55] punkshui: where did you get that kernel [16:55] turbocueca can you ping from pc1 to pc2? [16:55] punkshui: then you have broke the kernel's smp support [16:55] ikonia, trying that now... [16:55] cause that would take longer then just a reinstall [16:55] punkshui: you forgot a switch somewhere when you compiled the kernel. [16:55] punkshui: so it's now up to you what you do [16:55] punkshui, i also dont think that you use ubuntu... [16:55] ikonia kernel.org then patched with mactel patches [16:55] Nahztu, kindly look into blendernation.com users of the famous blender 3-D applications post their art [16:55] I need some help troubleshooting a harddrive mount problem [16:56] mame >> ah ok [16:56] punkshui: then you need to rebuild with smp support in your kernel [16:56] mame >> just remember to back up your imprtant data first :p [16:56] ManuP I do use Ubuntu.. the install CD is in my drive currently.. it's the only one I have.. I just updated the kernel [16:56] chuy_ what exactly do you need? [16:56] MisterChief Try with CP without samba, if you cant, then find a way of installing Samba and if not, find a different way to copy the files [16:56] But I'm using Synfig... not Blender. [16:56] th0r, yes.. [16:56] punkshui: why not use the stock ubuntu kernels? all hardware in the mac mini works with them at least... [16:56] Ropechoborra: I managed to install samba via terminal [16:56] ARR [16:56] Yes that is true. I am trying to figure out how to backup my photos from f-spot [16:56] turbocueca oh...I thought you said you couldn't. [16:56] punkshui, did you read what ikonia and jowi said? [16:57] like always I can't find anything on the microsoft site [16:57] MisterChief =) Cool, then comes the ugly part, i never could configure it xP [16:57] th0r, My network is configured to access all computers with no problems, but on vmware I just cant connect to pc1 [16:57] ManuP yes, but I don't understand [16:57] mame >> by default, ubuntu saves your pics in the ~/Pictures folder [16:57] th0r, no no [16:57] mame: can you not just save them to another drive ? [16:57] I don't know their mail server or anything [16:57] punkshui, okay. [16:57] mame >> just fyi [16:57] Nahztu, so ? go there at blendernation.com and see their work, they have others using other tools that post and compare stuff [16:57] ljsmithx: we are not interested in micsoft websites, this is ubuntu support only for support questions only [16:57] !kernel | punkshui [16:57] punkshui: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages [16:57] punkshui, so you only updated kernel? [16:57] th0r, pc1 cant even connect to himself.. through port 902, vmware port [16:57] ManuP my sound also doesn't work [16:57] punkshui: use the ubuntu kernels [16:57] !samba | MisterChief [16:57] MisterChief: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [16:58] ikonia do you have a macbook? [16:58] ManuP: he does not use an ubuntu kernel. [16:58] th0r vmware port 902 is telnet, you see, so if it doesn't work, there's something wrong [16:58] punkshui: yes [16:58] punkshui, you had a running system and just wanted to update the kernel? why? [16:58] Samba is also a protocol used by linux to view windows networks [16:58] punkshui: not on it at the moment but I do have one [16:58] ikonia, I'm trying to setup Evolution to resive my Live mail btw.. [16:58] My problem is that I have taken hours setting up the various tags and tagging the iages in f-spot that I would not like to start over. [16:58] and to send/recieve messages from windows networks [16:58] ikonia my battery life is decreased to about 1:30 from 4 hours in os x [16:58] ljsmithx: we don't need a running commentary please. [16:58] Jowi, can you help him then? [16:58] I can't find anything about how to set [16:58] Why have two people/things already told me to go to... Blender, whater. I need assistance with Synfig, not Blender? [16:58] punkshui: it's different OS's setup different, thats just tuning - not kernel rebuilding [16:58] mame >> why cant you just copy your images to an external drive/partition? [16:58] turbocueca, what is the configuration of your vmware? [16:58] turbocueca it is beginning to sound like a vmware problem, but I can't help with that. If you can ping between the two computers then you should be able to get there on port 902. But I do think you are going to have to shut down or modify the windows firewall to allow it. [16:59] I know that, I posted it wondering if anyone lse would know. [16:59] 813193 [16:59] ikonia also my processors were only being used at 54% of their capacity [16:59] punkshui: agagin, thats just load distribution, no need to recompile a kernel [16:59] Nahztu, google is your friend, look for places where the users of those congregate [16:59] test [16:59] TuxIc3: past === TuxIc3 is now known as tuxic3 [16:59] bulmer, configuration how? [16:59] ManuP: I could but no way I want to. (s)he compiled + patched a non-standard kernel and is now missing smp, audio and probably some other stuff as well. [16:59] ikonia ok, where do I go from here. I was thinking maybe i downloaded the wrong distro [16:59] Hi i used this guide to install 7.12 drivers manually. Everything seems to be working (including my xorg.conf) which wasnt working before. When I use fglrxinfo in terminal I get the responce I am supposed to but my graphical performance is absolutely terrible [17:00] punkshui, if you are going to reinstall ubuntu, take a look at Linux Mint :) [17:00] . o (didnt knwo ubuntu was at 7.12) [17:00] punkshui: I would re-install and come back to help fix you isses from a standard install [17:00] I'm really confused... isn't this chat used for Synfig? [17:00] ManuP: why recommend mint to him ? [17:00] turbocueca, look into your vmware help docs, i dont have vmware loaded right now, but its on the menu when you activate it [17:00] ikonia what distribution? [17:00] turbocueca right...sorry...I thought you were trying telnet on the telnet port. not really familiar with vmware...sorry [17:00] punkshui: there is nothing wrong with ubuntu [17:00] ikonia amd64 or i386? [17:00] th0r, no problem, but something is blocking the connection, or ubuntu or vmware [17:00] Nahztu, look at the channel name this is #ubuntu not synfig [17:00] bulmer, ok [17:01] ikonia, well, at least i recommend him to use standard and pre-compiled kernels until he knows enought to compile his own one. [17:01] Do I just use an _ if there is a space in a directory name for terminal? [17:01] punkshui: thats up to you, depending on what you do. Few home users will find a benifit in 64bit [17:01] Christ... well while I'm here, what is Ubuntu? [17:01] Or is it %20? [17:01] ROFL ROFL [17:01] ManuP: no - you just recommended mint, blindly to him. Please don't [17:01] th0r: I need to know how to undo thi command: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/Hpoop -o force === RB2_ is now known as RB2 [17:01] ikonia, you dont like Mint or you dont like people who suggest just anything ^^ [17:01] !ubuntu | Nahztu [17:01] Nahztu: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [17:01] hello. are there differences between ubuntu derivatives besides the selection of packages? [17:02] Nahztu, google is your friend, again you can look for what is "xxxxx" [17:02] << being a moron >> ubuntu is a series of code which makes your computer function in a way that it never has before [17:02] chuy_ try 'sudo umount /dev/sda1' [17:02] ManuP: you suggested another distro pointlessly, there is no reason for that. We do not support/recommend/discuss mint or non-ubuntu distros in this channel [17:02] ikonia so it doesn't make a difference if I install i386 or amd64? [17:02] So Unbutu is an operating system... [17:02] unbutu =)) [17:02] anyone else experience a computer going back to sleep immediately after waking up from standby? [17:02] <^root^> Nahztu, nope thats not... [17:02] punkshui: it does make a difference, most home users will benifit from 32bit support only, the rare few who can take advantage of a 64bit operating system properly will benifit from that [17:03] Would you stop telling me that Google is my friend, we're not friends, I jsut use it. [17:03] ikonia, okay, i see :) [17:03] <^root^> Nahztu, haven't you seen Nelson saying Ubuntu mean so much :P [17:03] i have a video driver problem [17:03] google is a _hackers_ friend [17:03] ikonia can you give me an example of what benefit a 64bit os would offer? [17:03] Nahztu: do you have an ubuntu question yes/no [17:03] not just any friend [17:03] a _hackers_ friend [17:03] chuy_ and you may have to add -f...but try without it first [17:03] how can i set luks-partition to be checked after 30 mounts? [17:03] For a terminal command, if I'm typing a directory with spaces, do I use _ or %20, or what? [17:03] What is Unbutu's purpose? [17:03] MisterChief: \ [17:03] I'm a very curious person. [17:03] Nahztu: it is an Linux distribution [17:03] Ah, thanks [17:03] Nahztu: it's an operating system [17:03] What is unbutu? [17:03] <^root^> Nahztu, its Ubuntu* [17:04] googling unbutu [17:04] Nahztu: read about it on http://www.ubuntu.com [17:04] Why can [17:04] Nahztu, make google your friend, a very good friend, go ask him some of your questions [17:04] im trying to get the right proprietary driver for my savagemx-ix (200-299) card [17:04] punkshui, Better Memorymanagement for systems with more than 4 GB of ram. [17:04] 't anyone just tell me? [17:04] rofl they actually have an unbutu live cd =)) [17:04] debian unbutu is what you do when you uninstall ubuntu [17:04] here it is >> www.applefritter.com/node/9127 [17:04] Nahztu: this is a support channel. if you don't need any technical help you can talk freely in #ubuntu-offtopic [17:04] Nahztu: it is a long discussion, Please read about it on http://www.ubuntu.com [17:04] would an XFree86 driver be appropriate for Gutsy? [17:04] rof thor yah [17:04] nbkr thanks [17:04] no thats unbuntu [17:05] runemaste644: ubuntu runs xorg [17:05] sometimes my cpu temp goes over 80 c to start the fan, after restart it works well, ubuntu 7.10 [17:05] ikonia so any tips for the standard install? [17:05] th0r: The thing is that I was trying to mount /dev/hda, not sda. sda was already mounted as another drive. Also, now I have a folder named "Hpoop" in /media/. [17:05] Nahztu, Ubuntu wants to become the most famous OS in the world. and once, when all governments use it, they will let it crash :) [17:05] punkshui: just do a standard install ? what more do you want to know [17:05] hello. are there differences between ubuntu derivatives besides the selection of packages? [17:05] ManuP: please stop making pointless / miss-leading and random comments to people. [17:05] <^root^> ManuP, i knew that :P [17:05] ikonia i have a swap partition a home partition and a root partition with about 5GB of space... [17:05] dvlkiss that hints that something is loading down the cpu, the next time it happens open a terminal and type 'top' and see if you can spot what is using all that cpu [17:05] chuy_, you can only mount partitions, not a hard drive..hard drive may have multiple partitions [17:05] punkshui: sounds good [17:06] dawn >> some of them are different (like DSL), but most of them, not really [17:06] DawnLight: you better see the derivatives homepage for that. [17:06] Holy christ, what a great example of someone not wanting to use their brain. I understand I could find Ubuntu anywhere, but I asked here... and such if this is a technical support that would intitled me to the question of wht the hell is Ubuntu, and what is its purpose? [17:06] so i cant use the "Savage Family Linux XFree86 4.0.3 X Server Binary and Switch Utility version 1.1.18" from www.s3graphics.com? [17:06] ikonia so what do i do for a clean install.. last time i reinstallled it felt like my settings were still there [17:06] good morning... i got 2 avi files, what program do i use to put them onto DVD? [17:06] Nahztu: stop trolling [17:06] DawnLight, No, except that Ubuntu 8.04 will be LTS (Long Term Support), and Kubuntu 8.04 will not have LTS. [17:06] I don't know what trolling means.... [17:06] Nahztu: "what is ubuntu" is not a technical support channel. You can read the basics on http://www.ubuntu.com [17:06] Jowi: link? [17:06] nah >> ubuntu is an operating system promoting free and opensource software [17:06] Bulmer: I'm talking about particians *hda1 [17:07] Nahztu, we are volunteers, and you have the brain also (we assume) to read google and be decent [17:07] chuy_ ok...the type 'sudo umount /media/Hpoop' and you can always delete the folder (but I think it will go away by itself). If you already had /dev/sda mounted it should stay mounted if you use this command. [17:07] it utilizes the linux kernel, therefore making a more stable and more secure os [17:07] and also making it a free and opensource operating system [17:07] chuy_ once you issue the umount command, look in /media/Hpoop and make sure there is nothing there. [17:07] ikonia i'm just worried that it willl keep using the same kernel i just installed [17:07] DawnLight: If you wonder about a specific deriative distro you should already know its homepage. I only use Ubuntu so no, I don't have a link :) [17:07] punkshui: not if you do a re-install [17:07] turbocueca: Not all of the vmware image files are created equal. Do you see a tab on the top of your vm window that shows a network card. If so make sure that it is showing in use. If not check www.jars.de for a better image file. [17:07] chuy_ and you can type 'mount' by itself to see what is mounted and where [17:07] Ubuntu is a free software distributer? [17:07] and with the new ubuntu 7.10 it gives you mroe features then windows has to offer [17:08] nah >> yes [17:08] Thank you [17:08] ikonia ok. thanks [17:08] th0r, he can only mount partitions not a hard disk..distinction is hard disk has multiple partitions that can be mounted individually [17:08] ubuntu is owned by canonical, whom provides the free cds [17:08] Nahztu: no, ubuntu is a Linux distribution. You can read about it and what it does on http:/www.ubuntu.com [17:08] so i cant use the driver just because its for XFree86? [17:08] debian: it is not owned by canonical. [17:08] the problem is that the fan on my laptop doesnt work at all until 80 c [17:08] debian: please be precise in what you say to people [17:08] ik >> the cd protion of it is [17:08] i got 2 avi files, what program do i use to put them onto DVD? [17:08] Ikonia... I have a memmory, please. [17:08] bulmer yeah...we had been working with sda1, but somewhere along the way we truncated...I assumed he knew to keep it [17:08] ubuntu is a community project [17:08] Nahztu: then please review the site suggestion [17:08] and what is the difference between xorg and xfree86 [17:08] have someone ever shared a fat32 folder in a samba network? === chuy is now known as chuu_max === chuu_max is now known as chuy_max [17:09] its oepn to anyone who wants to add on or change ubuntu (thats how we get our derivtives) [17:09] can i install a basic ubuntu system without any desktop environment? [17:09] runemaste644: they where the same base system that have now split and gone their own ways [17:09] alright, how can I have the machine do the same type of standby when I close the lid as when I hit the standby key? [17:09] No, I got my information, and if this is a "leader" in this chat I apologise for any missdeeds. [17:09] chuy_ pastebin the output of the 'mount' command [17:09] runemaste644: xorg was a fork of xfree86 but is nowadays quite different. [17:09] DawnLight: you can, but that defeats the object of all the intergration [17:09] ikonia: what integration? [17:09] does anyone know why when you make the workspace switcher show all workspaces in two rows, when you use the scroll wheel over it, it switches to the 3rd workspace (down) instead of the 2nd one (to the right) [17:10] brb..gonna get coffee ~o) [17:10] DawnLight: application/software/desktop intergration [17:10] OK, random freezes on a HP visualize x-class (serverworks cnb20he) w/ usb 2.0 pci card, nvidia geforce 440 mx, promise ultra ata 100 pci card, 512 mb ram, dual piii [17:10] Nahztu: there's no leaders, and that won't be reason to apologize [17:10] th0r: sudo umount /media/Hpoop . Now the true sda (Vagina Gentium) is unmounted, and Hpoop is still in /Media [17:10] also hibernate does not work on hp nx6125 with ati x200 [17:10] i got 2 avi files, what program do i use to put them onto DVD? [17:10] DawnLight: ubuntu-server , then add what you want after that. [17:10] Fire? No way [17:10] Fire from macshadows? [17:10] wtf [17:10] kojiro: no need to use that abbreviation, thanks [17:10] chuy_ what does 'mount' say...is /dev/sda1 mounted anywhere in the output list? [17:10] 0o [17:10] y/n? [17:11] Tm_T: ok, sorry [17:11] back [17:11] where's a good place to ask about disk I/O performance? Using mega raid 150 cars and raid 5 configuration [17:11] well is there any proprietary driver for an s3 mx-ix card that supports 3D, xgl, etc. and works on xorg? [17:11] is there a plugin for global hotkeys on banshee? [17:11] anyone know where i can download realplayer 10 gold linux other thant the official website, becouse i am unable to download through firefox the llink posted on the website [17:11] nope, of course. [17:11] Jowi: does ubuntu server differ from ubuntu desktop only in installed package? [17:11] . o (does not like s3 at all) [17:11] Tm_T: interesting that you chose my response instead of the item that elicited it 9 lines prior [17:11] th0r: Here you go http://pastebin.com/m3375fd38 [17:11] . o (perfers nvidia/ati) [17:11] DawnLight: no, Ubuntu Server has only minimum system [17:11] chuy_ give me a sec [17:12] hi [17:12] DawnLight: yes (as well as a special server kernel if needed) === ubuntu__ is now known as That_Guy [17:12] tm > i thought ubuntu server was minimum with server utilities?

[17:13] chuy_ looks good...sda1 is not mounted anywhere...and nothing is on Hpoop. If /media/Hpoop is empty you can delete it if you aren't planning ot use it [17:13] well . o (doesnt think he can find another card that will fit into a pavillion n5490) [17:13] !away | DualPIII [17:13] DualPIII: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair on new users. The same goes for using noisy away messages : use the command "/away " to set your client away silently - See also !Guidelines [17:13] debian: perhaps, haven't investigated, though, can't say what would be those server utilities [17:13] chuy_ and if you tell me what you were originally trying to do I will try to help with that.

[17:17] MisterChief, before you made all these changes, did you keep the original xorg.conf file which I assume had a lower rez compatible with your setup? [17:17] it was just two consecutive things [17:17] bulmer: I made a backup of it, I'll make another now [17:17] runemaste644: yes, just made you to know that you don't need to do more, or even those two ;) [17:17] imho, botabuse is doing several at a time or one repeatedly [17:18] th0r [17:18] runemaste644: giving advice is not an attack, son [17:18] turbocueca hello [17:18] th0r, re running the installation corrected th eproblem [17:18] th0r thank you [17:18] turbocueca welcome [17:18] My OSS stops working quite often, and I have to stop gdm and remove and add the sound module again before I can get it to work again. Is there any other way around this? [17:18] MisterChief, if you had the original (fresh from a new install) load that in to your xorg.conf and see if you get better rez to work with [17:19] I can't remember it [17:19] * Tm_T slaps Azop [17:20] th0r: Ok, I have ah IDE harddrive running ubuntu, a Sata that I use as extra storage, and then another IDE that is split into 2 parts. http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?d94a1eb0c4.png [17:20] kojiro, Thanks :D.

[17:21] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [17:21] th0r: Please see picturew [17:21] MisterChief, there you go per, Jack [17:21] nait >> are you trying to have them mount like a hard drive? [17:21] kojiro, The nick is (probably) not registered. I think this is related to how when I typed bitlbee into the cli to begin with, it said it couldn't read to some folder in /var [17:22] Thanks [17:22] debian>yes [17:22] hey guys [17:22] naitmer: External or internal? [17:22] it is actually to mount drive paritions [17:22] my ubuntu crashed last night, and earlier today. is this normal? [17:22] Xintruder: Nope [17:22] chuy_ I am looking at it. a 3.6G volume, the VG volume, and the filesystem [17:22] Depends what you were doing [17:22] What I want, is to remount the sda1 (Vagina Gentium), and then properly mount the 70 or so GB partician that cannot be found. [17:22] (Xintruder) [17:22] naitmer: By default, ubuntu should have seen the partition at install and setup the drive on the desktop. did you add this partition after instal? [17:22] Xintruder: What all have you installed outside the official repos? [17:22] I'd like to have ubuntu loading in verbose mode, not the progress bar, anyone know how? This is usually pretty simple, but i forgot how [17:22] chuy_ the 3.6G volume is part of the sda drive? [17:23] what effects gives me the border in compiz fusion ? [17:23] sverige: Ask in #Compiz [17:23] syntaxerror55: well, the reason it couldn't access that path is because of privileges -- when you run it as a daemon it should have the right privs [17:23] j/#ubuntu-it [17:23] i have and nvida 7600 graphic card should i use the restriced drivers?? [17:23] chuy_ or is it the IDE drive?

It is the "recovery sector" set up by Compaq. [17:24] that is a better idea to install the dirver from terminal [17:24] bulmer: I've gone through that dialog before, when I've done it goes back to terminal and then if I Ctrl Alt F7 is still says "Low graphics mode" or whatever [17:24] naitmer: let me look a sec and see [17:24] debian > ok [17:24] latinoguy: You can go to system > administration > restricted drivers [17:24] Jack_Sparrow: all were automatically using firefox, it searched and installed [17:25] latinoguy: And tick the box next tothe nvidia driver, everything will be done automatically [17:25] syntaxerror55: it's a program that runs a service -- you set up your machine to start it at boot time and it's always running in the background [17:25] Xintruder: and it is broken [17:25] !flashissues [17:25] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [17:25] what is ? [17:25] rbs-tito: thanks for your help, what is your recomendetion? [17:25] kojiro, like gdm [17:25] chuy_ no problem....do the right click and see if you can find what /dev or mountpoint it is using [17:25] MisterChief, then you may have to redo same steps over with different choices till you get a working display, or maybe select the lowest VESA ? [17:25] syntaxerror55: yep [17:25] naitmer: unless someone else here knows how to do that, im afraid you cant. By default (and probably for security reasons) mount is required to have root access [17:25] why is it, the command "netapplet" does nothing? :| [17:25] !nvidia > latinoguy [17:26] Lowest VESA? [17:26] naitmer: they probably did this so that if a virus/hacker gets onto your computer they wont be able to access your other drives [17:26] kojiro, k, but still, it didn't save anything. [17:26] And I don't have a .bitlbee in my /home [17:26] syntaxerror55: did you start it as a daemon? [17:26] naitmer: unless they have compromised the root password [17:26] MisterChief: 1024x768 [17:26] Jack_Sparrow: how do i avoid crashes before the fix? uninstall something ? [17:26] Jack_Sparrow, can you explain me what exactly do you mean? [17:26] MisterChief, lowest res is vesa [17:26] latinoguy: If you want to play with compiz and have neat effects, get the restricted. If you don't need that, and don't ever intend to play games or use 3d applications, statricted gives better all round performance though, so if you have no problem with proprietary software go for thatwith the free. I find res [17:26] kojiro, how? [17:26] latinoguy: read the link on binary drivers [17:26] syntaxerror55: I gave you a link [17:26] debian > so how can I give privileges to acces partitions, mounting, etc.. whiout allowing the user to brick her own system [17:26] latinoguy: OK, that message came out weirdly. I hope you get the gist!! [17:26] Xintruder: you never said how you installed the codec [17:27] When I click on conky, it makes a selection from the other side of the desktop to where I clicked on conky. How do I fix it? [17:27] MisterChief, the old standby default resolution [17:27] oh, right. Sorry D: [17:27] Jack_Sparrow: Firefox auto searched, downloaded and installed [17:27] where is that link? [17:27] bulmer: Should I just try the default then for all the options? [17:27] debian > that is, without giving her full admin privileges? [17:27] Xintruder: What part of IT DOES NOT WORK do you not understand [17:27] naitmer: one sec, thinking.. [17:27] im new on this world [17:27] Xintruder: Read the link if you want a temp fix [17:28] naitmer: is there other important documents on those other partitions? [17:28] chuy_ when you right click on the icon, choose Properties, and above the graph that appears will be a line beginning 'Volume' I need to know what that says [17:28] Jack_Sparrow: ok, thanks. [17:28] MisterChief, yeah, you may have to try different combo till you get one you are happy with.. [17:28] debian >yes [17:28] latinoguy: If you install restricted, be sure to check out desktop effects in the appearance menu [17:28] naitmer: you just have to add the user option to the line in fstab [17:28] naitmer: ok i may have a work around [17:28] for my part I can never understand 'it does not work': 1) 'it' is ambiguous; and 2) 'work' is ambiguous [17:28] !fstab | naitmer [17:28] naitmer: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [17:28] th0r: Ok, HERE: http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?27142c244b.png [17:28] debian > i though about the fstab thing [17:28] rbs-tito: ok thanks im going to use the restricted drives then. [17:28] naitmer: what you could try doign is, mounting the drive as sudo, then transfering the imprtatnt stuff to the main drive OR to an external company hdd [17:29] MisterChief: Yes accept the default for the rest of the options after you select vesa mode/driver and 1024 for the max res [17:29] im planing to use the cairo-dock [17:29] fstab just contains all the drives that are mounted [17:29] and their uuid [17:29] kojiro, it doesn't say anything about it. [17:29] plus their partition [17:29] debian: you really don't know what you are talking about here [17:29] Jack_Sparrow: COuld I have possibly going wrong when I choose 1440x900 if I have a widescreen monitor?

[17:39] hi, i have xubuntu on my dads pc and he says the pc freazed and then the menus dissapeared, wheres is the file with the configuration of this kind o things?

TFT and TV are botrh seperated X desktops, now i've got the problem, that i.e. popups, menüs etc are laggy in the TFT, they appear about 2 seconds after clicking the button. On the TV its all right.... Anyone an idea what that is?! heres my xorg.conf if needed: http://nopaste.info/0832bcf4cf.html [17:39] |Art|: hardware acceleration under any virtualisation is suspect.

I've heard from other sources that the mapping of graphics memory is suspect in a virtualization system. [17:40] chuy_, rename it to Phallus and maybe some will be happy (ier) heh! [17:41] just kiddin [17:41] how can I uninstall gnash? [17:41] ikonia: Google it. http://www.spiritus-temporis.com/vagina-gentium/ [17:41] |Art|: thats very true, the hardware accelration in virutalisation is touch and go. I don't believe it at all [17:41] i have a stupid question.... but i have to ask! :P Do linux ignore the whitespaces at fstab or i cannot do many ENTERS? [17:41] Jack_Sparrow, ok I won't . apparently fsck doesn't show error [17:41] ikonia actually he is correct, it is a latin term that isn't offensive...but the masses probably won't cut any slack for being too educated [17:41] chuy_: I don't need to google it, the word is in appropriate. [17:41] Xintruder: sudo apt-get remove gnash [17:41] ikonia, ive done a default install any tips on what i should do to configure it as a basic mta relay [17:41] ikonia: Sorry for offending you. [17:41] MewRS, you can not have many enters [17:41] bulmer: :) [17:41] th0r: the general term, known by the masses will see it as the inappropirate phrase. [17:42] chuy_ you have to learn to emulate an acceptable level of stupidity [17:42] <|Art|> ikonia, would I be able to test my current install with a live disk. AKA could I throw a live disk in, built with zen, and boot up my current windows install as a hvm without damaging it? [17:42] th0r: it's nothing to do with being "stupid" it's how the majority of users will see it and it is not appropriate for a family friendly channel [17:42] chuy_ did you get that last about the two sudo commands? [17:42] WHen I use cp to copy my ~/ files to another computer directory, it says "cp: Omitting directory: /home/andy", and it wont copy. What can I do?

[17:49] no, it goes to the "BusyVox v1.1.3" [17:49] BusyBox* [17:49] Jack_Sparrow: I installed the temporary fix in the link you provided. Do you advice me on anything? [17:49] I have 2 internal smaller drives and a larger external hard drive. [17:50] DarkenedSoul, kindly respond with a prefix of my nick or i will miss your responses [17:50] And I was thinking of using my drive D (about 20gb) as basicly my linux drive. [17:50] What are the permissions for a floppy supposed to be if there is only one user? [17:50] bulmer: do I want "copy directories recursively"? [17:50] bulmer, sorry. [17:50] chuy_ really! it has part of it mounted but can't see the drive! I am afraid the system can't read that drive as it is...I suspect because it has a recovery partition or some such. Anyway, if you need the files I would try accessing the drive in windows and moving them elsewhere. I think you are going to have to repartition and reformat that drive to get it working in ubuntu...sorry [17:51] MisterChief, yeah so it can copy everything [17:51] Flare183 +rwx i guess [17:51] th0r: kes sesini [17:51] When i start the update manager, a white box appears in the middle of the screen with no title or close icon, and I cant remove!! whats that? [17:51] bulmer: how do I exit that manual page? [17:51] MisterChief: q [17:52] bulmer: I have 2 internal harddrives, both 20gb and a larger 300gb external. I was thinking about using my slaved internal hard drive to run Linux off of instead of messing around with partitions on C, but I was wondering if the bootloading and everything would still be fine. [17:52] How can I make dhclient execute without requiring a password? I added the line "dialout ALL = (dialout) NOPASSWD: /sbin/dialout" in /etc/vsudoers using visudo, and I am in the dialout group. But it still asks me for a password. [17:52] Thanks [17:52] MisterChief Yeap =) It is like cp -R /home/user/folder /destination [17:52] th0r: That is my Windows partician, and I had it open before. I rebooted the computer, and now I can't see part of the f'in drive. [17:52] my clock keeps going out of whack, can anyone help? [17:52] MisterChief Control + Q will do [17:52] Ropechoborra: no need to ctrl [17:52] i have ntp installed, but it doesnt seem to work [17:52] Ops :$ [17:52] ikonia ? [17:52] chuy_ understood. I wouldn't jump in there and dump it yet. Try rebooting, if it is a dual boot computer try booting into windows.... [17:52] DarkenedSoul, its should still be fine, you may have to adjust your mobo Bios to tell which drive to boot from [17:53] trying to connect to server using ssh and i get an error msg saying 192.168.23.200 port 22 : connection refused [17:53] dont dual boot its dangerous [17:53] jojjo: erm? [17:53] Windows hangs, that's why I want to reformat that drive. [17:53] :-( [17:53] Tm_T Im kind of forgeting all those things since i can make ubuntu run on my laptop =( [17:53] navlop: is ssh server running there [17:53] th0r: Windows hangs, that's why I want to reformat that drive. [17:53] navlop, is the server active to serve ssh? [17:53] chuy_ and check the bios settings and make sure it is set as the slave drive...there is definitely something weird going on with that drive [17:53] guys, i have a white box in the middle of my screen, no idea whats that. any suggestions? [17:53] bulmer, so instead of the bootloader i would have to go into bios to change the boot order? [17:54] oh, forgot...lol sorry for dumb question [17:54] chuy_ I would even go as far as to open the box and make sure the connectors are properly seated and such. The way it is half way recognized means something strange has happened [17:54] chuy_ but it may be that the drive has crashed and reformatting is the only way out. [17:54] DarkenedSoul, possibly the combination of both, bios is the common denominator, if you tell bios NO..well it wont do what you want to do in software [17:54] :( [17:54] navlop: are you sure the server has its /etc/networks set up to allow connections from your domain, you have an account on the sever and you typed in the right username and password? [17:54] bumer: only entry, comment, entry, comment? [17:55] th0r: I'll be back in a bit [17:55] chuy_ you did use sudo with those commands, right? [17:55] bulmer: Okay, thanks. I guess I'm going to go and start experimenting :D [17:55] hi, i am trying to share internet connection from wlan to eth0 with firestarter and it seems they can't run together... [17:56] help :( I have a white box centered on the screen i can't remove :( [17:56] DarkenedSoul, good luck [17:56] Hi, how would I view my webcam?? [17:56] i already installed the flash plugins but i can not see youtube videos, firefox still ask me to install the plugin [17:56] Thanks [17:56] How can I make dhclient execute without requiring a password? I added the line "dialout ALL = (dialout) NOPASSWD: /sbin/dialout" in /etc/vsudoers using visudo, and I am in the dialout group. But it still asks me for a password. [17:56] Hi, ive got a little problem. I am using on my nvidia card my TV Out. TFT and TV are botrh seperated X desktops, now i've got the problem, that i.e. popups, menüs etc are laggy in the TFT, they appear about 2 seconds after clicking the button.

[17:57] bulmer: i did that, i even tried with please [17:58] how does ubuntu and kubuntu share the ubuntu kernel when kubuntu dosent have automatic printer setup [17:58] Moduliz0r those are the two I have had some luck with but there are others...gqcam comes to mind [17:58] b4d, what kind of interface is your eth0 [17:58] ok [17:58] When I click on conky, it makes a selection from the other side of the desktop to where I clicked on conky. How do I fix it? [17:58] i log in as root but i can't resize ntfs partitions with gparted what i can do to get full permissions ? [17:58] alsadk10: sus [17:59] can somebody tell me if having alsa and OSS is a good idea? [17:59] Moduliz0r sorry...I just checked and there is no wxcam in ubuntu repos...I have got to stop using two distros! [17:59] alsak10: is the ntfs partition a windoze vista partition [17:59] hehe [17:59] as, what's that (sus) [17:59] bulmer: how do you mean that? [17:59] no [17:59] gqcam is now installing, [17:59] silent [17:59] ankur [17:59] !rootirc | alsadk10 [17:59] alsadk10: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. [17:59] i'm not sure if my camera is supported under Ubuntu :( [17:59] b4d, what kind of interface is your eth0 ? wireless? ethernet? serial? [17:59] bulmer: ethernet [17:59] its a mikomi camera [18:00] hi [18:00] hi [18:00] b4d ifconfig tells you what? does it have an ip address assigned? [18:00] ubotu: thx [18:00] ?join #greece [18:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about thx - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:00] I have a pardus linux [18:00] Moduliz0r I had problems getting my cameras to work. Found that some software would work ok....some wouldn't even see the camera. the two I mentioned first are the ones that I finally got to work properly. [18:00] I'm a TURK [18:01] bulmer: eth0:avah has ip [18:01] ubotu: but what i can do? [18:01] gqcam says /dev/video doesn't exist, so I take it something is wrong? [18:01] im downloading updates at 19kbs, is this the average speed :/ ? [18:01] Xintruder depends on your internet service [18:01] astro76 no root on linux [18:02] alsadk10: ubotu is a bot [18:02] Xintruder: depends on the connection and on the mirror you selected to get updates from [18:02] Moduliz0r means your camera isn't autoloading the modules...fixable, but not working out of the box [18:02] b4d can you paste in pastebin your ifconfig results [18:02] !pastebin > b4d [18:02] i have 2 monitors attached to computer and want to use them both, 1 is vga the other is hdmi, how can i setup 2 monitor [18:02] bulmer: mhm, sec please [18:02] whats bot?

How can I remove/fix this? [18:04] b4d look you have several interfaces here, do you want them connected to same router/gateway? [18:05] alsadk10: yes and it's dangerous and unnecessary [18:05] but what i can do? [18:05] bulmer: i don't understand why, because i have only 2 physical cards connected [18:05] keep getting timed out because of my torrents >_> [18:05] astro76: what i can do for resize? [18:05] Xintruder: you could find the process causing it using "top" perhaps, and then use the Kill command in top [18:05] can someone guide me through compiling and installing the spca5xx (webcam) driver from http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html ? [18:05] b4d, okay you said you have two nics, do they have to be connected to same router? [18:06] Can someone tell me how to setup secondary screen [18:06] top ??? [18:06] Xintruder: it'll take a little trial and error to find it probably [18:06] bulmer: no, wlan0 is on router, eth0 goes to internal network [18:06] Moduliz01: Have you compiled before? [18:06] RE: My filesystem (ext3) automatically mounts as ready-only after sometime (on ubuntu 7.10) , what do i do [18:07] only simple programs [18:07] hi, i have xubuntu on my dads pc and he says the pc freazed and then the menus dissapeared, wheres is the file with the configuration of this kind o things? [18:07] navlop: System -> Administration -> Screens and Graphics [18:07] b4d so your box will be acting as a router/gateway for your internal clients? what will be connected to eth0? [18:07] well i've downloaded + extracted it, shall I just try make or make install? [18:08] bulmer: yes, switch that has other computers on it [18:08] astro76: did u accept privet chat [18:08] ? [18:08] ankur, did you run a check on the file system_ [18:08] b4d come again? [18:08] alsadk10: no I have that disabled, ask in the channel [18:08] Leo1989, did that but when i select second monitor it turn off 1stt minotor [18:08] miccet, yup i did, there was no errors ( I did fsck) [18:09] and what is the fstab line for it? [18:09] astro76: ok did u know what i can do [18:09] bulmer: internet - wlan0 - eth0 - laptop [18:09] Xintruder: learn the "top" command using a terminal. type "top", then when the program is up, type "u" and then your user name for processes under your user name, then use the "k" (kill) command and type the number of the process you think it might be. Either that or perhaps there's a kill function in the menu somewhere for that white window. [18:09] miccet, does error forces it to remount as read only? [18:09] my video card is a all-in wonder with vga and hdmi connector [18:09] Moduliz01: you do ./configure, then make, then sudo checkinstall [18:09] yea it can [18:09] alsadk10: you should log out, log back in as your user, then system > administration > partition editor as a first step [18:09] b4d sorry, how did you go from wlan0 to eth0 ? [18:09] ankur, did you check dmesg for r/w errors? [18:09] Moduliz01: you might have to do sudo aptitude install checkinstall first [18:09] Xintruder: does the white window come up every time it boots? [18:10] well when I rebooted, it came up after i selected update manager [18:10] what is checkinstall? [18:10] hi? [18:10] miccet, I did dmesg but I didn't understand if there were any error [18:10] !checkinstall | Moduliz01 [18:10] bulmer: it seems that can't run them both at the same time, but that's wired [18:10] ? [18:10] Xintruder: i see..hmmm do you think update-manager is hung up or something? [18:10] ubotu lag? [18:11] Moduliz01: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!

[18:11] does anyone here know a lot about xchat-gnome? that could help me figure out how to do (install/use) some scripts? [18:11] ok its installed [18:11] now how do I use it? [18:11] n0neknows: tip, use regular xchat, because #xchat won't help you with xchat-gnome [18:11] n6hgg: also, when that happens i see characters in the background [18:11] bulmer: i'm trying to bridge them with firestarter [18:11] big characters [18:12] astro76: ok wait me [18:12] So... Since nobody seems interested in my networking problem, is there another place I could ask for help with a ubuntu desktop that's misbehaving with a D-Link router? [18:12] Xintruder: well, I guess do a little digging with top and other system monitors, and maybe you can find out what program is causing it and then kill it and then disable it somehow. Other than that I'm clueless [18:12] hi im wondering.... in gutsy when i login how come my user and pass are huge [18:12] b4d, you want to bridge them? but then you will not get the router capabilities you wanted... [18:12] astro76: how do i get regular xchat on ubuntu? [18:12] n0neknows: in synaptic search for xchat, or sudo apt-get install xchat [18:12] b4d, do you want your laptop to have same ip address as the wlan0? [18:13] astro76: k thanks will try [18:13] anyone got time to help me configure tightvncserver or vnc4server? I've read alot of guides but nothing seems to work correct and now I don't know what to do :( [18:13] bulmer: no [18:13] Xintruder: good luck [18:13] b4d well that would be the case once you bridge [18:13] can someone help me [18:13] n6hgg: this problem started appearing right after i installed th plugin-fix for flash and stuff [18:13] Where can I find definitions of the technical terms 'The latest stable version of the Linux kernel', 'The latest prepatch for the stable Linux kernel tree', 'The latest snapshot for the stable Linux kernel tree', 'The latest snapshot for the stable Linux kernel tree'?

[18:15] It has an Intel X3100 graphics adapter, I have had a google around and the feedback on how well supported it is are mixed. [18:16] b4d okay, you enable ip_forward on your pc and activate NAT [18:16] KurtKraut: sudo doesn't actually give a user root access, you can configure it do do what you want.

[18:46] help installing this theme: GTK 2.x Theme/Style [18:46] khelll, export it [18:46] * jc-denton wonders if he is the only person with an ati gpu [18:46] ok [18:46] khelll, export PATH=blah [18:46] jrib: what is the print button on the kerboyard ? [18:46] bruenig: I used sudo cp -r /home/andy/ \\WINXP\SharedDocs\linux [18:46] latinoguy, Well, it doesn't give an error.... it just acts like I never did anything. I can read from the drive though. [18:47] is anyone using a nvidia 8800gt video card? [18:47] xamox: so nautilus says folder /media/sdb1 has 147Gb used? [18:47] Jowi: ok, does this really erases anything? [18:47] zetotof: I don't, you can probably try to rebuild the hard package on gutsy if you really need or request a backport and let someone else do it [18:47] !anyone | grep100 [18:47] grep100: 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? [18:47] but is it mounted?? [18:47] MisterChief I don't think you can use backwards slashes like that, but I could be wrong. [18:47] hey ii got a couple of simple questions [18:47] hey, i got a madwifi card, and i would love to know how to get it to work. its shown in dmesg and also as ath0 in iwconfig. but thats it! how to get it to life? ;) [18:47] sasha_: should be on the top right next to Scroll Lock maybe? [18:47] #techo [18:47] pg, yeah, but if I do df -h from the terminal it says it has only 140Gb used. Weird, huh? [18:47] jrib: how do i request a backport? [18:47] MisterChief, yeah I don't understand your backslashes [18:47] RenatoSilva: depends on the script. if not you will have to remove the dirs it installed to manually (you did specify a --prefix no?). Personally I tend to use checkinstall instead of make install. [18:47] wicd is also showing nothing [18:47] kunil: any help? [18:47] !backport > zetotof (read the private message from ubotu) [18:47] !checkinstall | RenatoSilva [18:47] RenatoSilva: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [18:47] MisterChief Are you trying to copy something from a linux box to a Windows share? [18:48] Yes FactTech [18:48] eTranquililty: i mean can you see it in the desktop [18:48] Kunil, maybe u can help me out, not sure which one to use, i have a ati AIW card, using 2 acer 22" wide screen, setting are 1680x1050? [18:48] latinoguy, yes [18:48] zetotof: I think that page explains, if not, just ask again [18:48] I'm perfectly logged in on Launchpad, but on wiki.ubuntu.com/RenatoSilva, it tells me that I'm not allowed to edid that page. What's the solution? [18:48] bruenig: Should I use a / then? [18:48] yes i find it :-D [18:48] sint, does iwlist ath0 scan work? [18:48] MisterChief I am not sure if you can do it direct from a terminal like that... [18:48] bruenig i did but it's the same shit [18:48] MisterChief, well where is it located on your disk [18:48] did you restart the system? [18:48] jrib: thank you [18:48] MisterChief You can use smbclient, which ships with Ubuntu. [18:48] navlopyeah, that's the res I use for my two 22" wides [18:48] once i close the termial i lose the modification [18:48] bruenig: "Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down" [18:48] MisterChief try "smbclient //SERVER/SHARE" (using forward slashes) [18:48] latinoguy, No. I assume I have to? [18:48] !backport [18:48] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [18:48] xamox: strange [18:48] i did export PATH=$PATH:/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/ [18:48] is there anything like a startup folder in ubuntu? [18:48] MisterChief, from there it is simiilar to using an FTP client. [18:48] ohttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50991/ GLx issues with a fairly unique dual video card(4 head total) setup.. little help please [18:48] some times it works [18:49] Jowi: --prefix? what's this? [18:49] !startup > whiting (read the private message from ubotu) [18:49] sint, alright, well something isn't working, the interface should support scanning [18:49] has anyone ever had (on shutdown) NDISWrapper complaining about "adding encryption key 1 failed" ? [18:49] latinoguy, Okay, I'll try it, thanks, if it doesn't work I'll come back here. [18:49] Which driver do u use, Xinerama, twinview, merged framebuffer or bigdesktop? [18:49] Hey all, does anyone know why alsamixer wont let me capture my microphone? [18:49] FactTech: do I type both directories? [18:49] Jowi: so checkinstall would ensure that the package would be completely removed? [18:49] whiting, for your login goto System->Preferences->Sessions, that first part is startup progs/scripts [18:49] MisterChief You can "cd" to directories on the Windows side, "lcd" to directories on the linux side. [18:49] I'm perfectly logged in on Launchpad, but on wiki.ubuntu.com/RenatoSilva, it tells me that I'm not allowed to edid that page. What's the solution? [18:49] How can I make dhclient execute without requiring a password? I added the line "dialout ALL = (dialout) NOPASSWD: /sbin/dialout" in /etc/vsudoers using visudo, and I am in the dialout group. But it still asks me for a password. [18:49] lspci identifies the nvidia 8800gt as type 0611 unknown, wondering if others getting the same results [18:49] bruenig: how to find out whats not working? hopefully the card is not broken [18:49] sint, the interface is up right? ifconfig ath0 up [18:49] did you install ntfs-3gs and afterwards you configure that app [18:49] MisterChief No, whatever directory you do the smbclient from is your starting linux directory. [18:49] then try to restart and see if it works [18:49] navlop: each is different(twinview I think is nvidia specific), depends on what you want it to do === e67 is now known as e66 [18:50] if not come back here [18:50] RenatoSilva: you may have to log into the wiki [18:50] bruenig: yay, its scanning now :) [18:50] is it an usb ?? [18:50] MisterChief You have to use "put" or "mput" to actually move the files. [18:50] sint, so just need to bring it up then? I know some cards require that, I thought wicd brought cards up though automaticaly [18:50] MisterChief This might be a lot easier to do with a graphical interface. Which version of Ubuntu are you using (plain, Kubuntu, Xubuntu)? [18:51] RenatoSilva: ./configure --prefix=... lets you decide an install directory. very useful. [18:51] sint, did you change the preferences in wicd? by default I think it uses wlan0, you need to change that [18:51] Xinerama is like how windows normally does it, one big desktop but each monitor(screen) acts like it's own for things like maximize [18:51] astro76 : yes ntfs resizing not supported [18:51] bruenig: i'm not using wicd so much, but when i start it up, it doesn't show any wireless network at all [18:51] so still no one here with gforce 8800 and have tv out working ? [18:51] alsadk10: on the livecd? [18:51] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50992/ [18:51] bruenig: ya, thats it [18:51] bruenig: it shows the network now :) [18:51] astro76 : no [18:52] alsadk10: oh.. well you shouldn't be doing this often anyway, resizing is a potentially dangerous operation ;) [18:52] astro76 : is there another prog for resizing? [18:52] FactTech: sorry to be so stupid, so if I want to move from /home/andy to //WINXP/SharedDocs/, I would type smbclient put /home/andy/ //WINXP/SharedDocs/linux? [18:53] How can I make /sbin/dhclient execute without requiring a password? [18:53] !info xi [18:53] Package xi does not exist in gutsy [18:53] alsadk10: gparted [18:53] MisterChief Like I said, you might find a way to do this that would be more like in Windows... but if you want to do it the hard way, then do as follows: [18:53] Hello, I have a doubt about what is included in main: [18:53] bah. [18:53] I have a gforce 8800gt but it doesn't even have tv out, so can't help with tv out questions === asm` is now known as asim [18:53] MisterChief 1) cd to the directory that has the files you want to copy. [18:53] no i have gparted === asim is now known as mak` [18:53] When I click on conky, it makes a selection from the other side of the desktop to where I clicked on conky. How do I fix it? Please help :| [18:54] bruenig: switched over to wireless. it seems to work. thanks alot [18:54] MisterChief 2) type "smbclient //SERVER/SHARE" to connect to the Windows computer. You'll have to login, but if your share has no password, just hit enter. === mak` is now known as asm1 [18:54] MisterChief 3) You'll now be in an smbclient prompt. === asm1 is now known as ibnadam [18:54] MisterChief 4) type "mput *" to send all files to the Windows computer. [18:54] FactTech: for //SERVER/SHARE, do I put my windows directory or keep it as //SERVER/SHARE? [18:54] Can anyone help me with a mic problem? [18:55] MisterChief You replace SERVER with the name of your server and SHARE with the name of the share. [18:55] FactTech: sorry, how do I find the server and share names? [18:55] MisterChief It's the ones you were using before, with the backwards slashes. [18:55] MisterChief as defined on the Windows machine. [18:55] can anyone help me with encrypted swap in gutsy? [18:55] ah [18:56] bruenig: is there a way to get an icon on the statusbar when connection is working. an how good the connection is? [18:56] MisterChief: server name is the server IP adress [18:56] it seems that the modules-assisatent stuff is no more needed [18:56] guys I got like 20 Minutes to transfer 4GB through wireless between 2 pcs , is that normal? [18:56] the wiki is outdated [18:56] Hello everyone [18:56] i think you should care more about this [18:56] gpu drivers are quite important [18:56] Amerio: sounds about right, fast even [18:56] thats probably fast, Amerio [18:56] MisterChief Looks like //WINXP/SharedDocs is what you'd start with. Then "cd linux" to switch to the linux directory on the Windows side of the connection. [18:57] im trying to install a theme but it says that the file format is invalid why?? [18:57] has anyone ever had a problem with ndiswrapper spitting out "adding encryption key 1 failed" on shutdown? [18:57] Amerio, good if its 54mbps [18:57] How can I make /sbin/dhclient execute without requiring a password? [18:57] ankur: its 108 :S [18:57] sint_, I don't know, I know wicd has an optional tray but its tray is just a glorified launcher really, it doesn't do anything [18:58] pg: moify dhclients permissions so the aprpriate persopn can execute it. [18:58] except suck up resources [18:58] MisterChief Making progress? [18:58] FactTech: Connection to WINXP failed (Error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED) [18:58] Amerio: meh, that 108 stuff doesn't help that much, but probably why it sounded a bit fast ;) [18:58] MisterChief Is the Windows share password-locked? [18:58] Not that I know of [18:58] i have a mouse with back & forward but it not do that on ubuntu [18:58] ??? [18:58] my numpad doesn't type numbers but move mouse.. how do I make it type numbers again?? [18:58] bruenig: ok then. thanks anyway. hopefully i will keep the steps i have to do in mind. ;) [18:58] !mouse | alsadk10 [18:58] alsadk10: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [18:59] #xbmc-linux [18:59] Could someone tell me what does %u when we launch a program ? (eg: gnome launchers are using that kind of commands : "program_name %u") [18:59] astro76: i thought its kinda slow since it was faster on xp [18:59] FactTech: Pretty sure its not, I dont remember passwords before [18:59] MisterChief Well, it looks like it tried a connection but it was refused due to Windows Security reasons. [18:59] how do i get rid of the NVIDIA splash screen? [18:59] Is there a way to install Gyachi on Feisty? There is a deb for 1.1.0 for Gutsy but not Feisty. [18:59] MisterChief In Windows world sometimes it's handled automatically if it's your files. [18:59] thx [18:59] sint_, once you have changed wicd to use ath0, it should bring up the interface for you, it brings up my interface automatically, so you should just be able to launch that and click through everything [18:59] Amerio: it might be highly dependent on your device, I know my bcm4306 is much faster in linux with open source drivers than windows [19:00] kane77: try Shift+Ctrl+Numlock [19:00] MisterChief try "smbclient -U ////" but replace stuff in <> with the relevant values. [19:00] Hmm... I'm trying to compile fscd. ./configure gives me errors. No package found 'xrandr' and more. but xrandr is in /usr/bin ... Ideas? [19:00] Amerio: what device? [19:00] Ashfire: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and under Device add: Option "NoLogo" "True" [19:00] I've installed the wrong graphics driver and now my screen just flashes when I try to boot from the hard drive. I'm pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 and have tried Shift-Alt-F1 during bootup to try and launch a terminal so I can run the following command: "sudu envy --uninstall-all" but I can't get to a terminal because the screen just starts flashing. What should I do? [19:00] bruenig: ok, hopefully. :) [19:00] jrib, you're the man!! it works! thanx [19:00] apal: %u stands for a uri iirc. Basically if you drag a link to the icon the link goes where the %u is [19:00] astro76: I have netgear as a router , and linksys as pc card on the 1st pc connected via cable 2 router , other pc is wireless fujtisu laptop [19:00] bruenig: i will test it later [19:00] MisterChief Also, I really have to say -- if you're using a newer version of Linux, there's probably a graphical frontend for this that is a lot easier. [19:01] !envy [19:01] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [19:01] what is the best encryption type in seahorse?, 1) DSA Elgamal 2) DSA (sign only) 3) RSA (sign only) [19:01] FactTech: I can't access the gui, that's the whole point XD [19:01] I've read in http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/components that "The licences for software applications in main must be free, but main may also may contain binary firmware and selected fonts that cannot be modified without permission from their authors. In all cases redistribution is unencumbered." [19:01] MisterChief Then this is your best bet. [19:01] hallo @ all [19:01] yeah ubot... you be wrong there... restricted manager SUCKS ASS, use envy [19:01] MisterChief Why can't you access the GUI? [19:01] I know that envy is not supported now which is why I need a way to uninstall it. [19:02] But in http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/licensing it's said that the licenses in main "Must allow modification and distribution of modified copies under the same license." [19:02] !ubotu [19:02] 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 [19:02] FactTech: After I tried installing Beryl and it failed miserably, it only boots in low graphics mode, and I've tried stuff on the internet and here before, didn't work, so now I'm making a backup and putting all settings to default [19:02] oh, I got it, jrib. thanks a lot ;) [19:03] !beryl > MisterChief [19:03] don't use beryl, it remerged with Compiz [19:03] MisterChief Well, good thinking to do a backup. [19:03] which Gusty includes by defaul [19:03] If it must allow modification it shouldn't include firmwares that cannot be modified without author autorisation. [19:03] Jack_Sparrow: I only realised that after I tried installing it, so I'm just trying to get my computer working now [19:03] has anyone ever had a problem with ndiswrapper spitting out "adding encryption key 1 failed" on shutdown? [19:03] MisterChief if you want to transfer a ton of stuff, I recommend creating a compressed tarball of it so you can just send it all at once. [19:04] MisterChief Otherwise you'll have to do it directory-by-directory -- probably too much hassle. [19:04] This room is out of hand today. I'll check back later. [19:04] FactTech: I only want to transfer ~/ [19:04] seems like a slow day here today. :) [19:04] Squintz: try "recovery mode" at the grub menu [19:04] marcotmarcot: it says applicatoin software, firmware and fonts are not application software [19:05] Dr_willis_: heh, yeah [19:05] MisterChief "man tarball" and "man zip" will tell you all you need to know (along with "man smbclient"), but for shortcuts, I think you'd want the following: [19:05] what does it mean when -nonfree is on the end of a package ? [19:05] jrib: how do I do that? [19:05] !free | Kasplatt [19:05] Dr_willis: The US Football Playoffs [19:05] Kasplatt: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [19:05] astro76: So, that's why firefox is still in main? [19:05] ahh , so it's just closed source and stuff ? [19:05] Kasplatt: not free as in free speech [19:05] MisterChief to create a tar of everything in your home directory, "tar -cvvf " [19:05] MisterChief: What are you trying to transfer.. and to where.. a different partition? [19:06] Kasplatt, or some ottherwise resticted [19:06] am i able to install ubuntu with an 8400 GS video card? [19:06] Dr_willis okay , thanks . it's on some packages. remember seeing it on flash for firefox [19:06] yes you can [19:06] how to put driver for skystar2? [19:06] brobostigon: you mean chmod a+x /sbin/dhclient? It's already -rwxr-rx-x. [19:06] Squintz: you should get a grub menu when you boot your computer (before the ubuntu splash screen). If not, try pressing ESC to get to it [19:06] MisterChief to compress that tarfile, "zip " [19:06] jp: YEs, but you may want to look at restricted/binary drivers [19:07] at first it'll use the free driver, then if you want to use the 3D accel you'll have the ability to choose the proprietary driver, jp [19:07] has anyone got seti working on ubuntu? [19:07] MisterChief Then use smbclient as described to send the compressed tarfile over. [19:07] Kuni1, thanks [19:07] !seti [19:07] MisterChief Does that all make sense? [19:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about seti - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:07] Jack_Sparrow: I'm transferring to a different computer on the network [19:07] marcotmarcot: because Ubuntu doesn't care about a silly icon?

[19:07] MisterChief No sweat, good luck. [19:07] pg: i dont know how to do it in cli, but i run nautilus as root(gksudo) and modify its permissions. [19:07] brobostigon: but shouldn't it be possible using the sudoers file? [19:07] !nvidia > jp [19:08] astro76: because this icon is not application software. [19:08] marcotmarcot: indeed [19:08] !nvidia [19:08] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [19:08] MisterChief: Are you trying to copy /home to a different computer? [19:08] astro76: byt I think it does care. [19:08] which configuration file is NDISWrapper trying to write, when it gives me "adding encryption key 1 failed", on shutdown? [19:08] marcotmarcot: true true [19:08] astro76: if it didn't care, it would just remove.. [19:08] marcotmarcot: didn't mean to imply otherwise ;) [19:08] Jack_Sparrow: Yes, I'm going to try resetting everything on the linux computer [19:09] several bluetooth packages are not being upgraded, because of my libc6 problems(btw gusty 86_64) [19:09] MisterChief: It is easier to reinstall... rolling it back is a lot of trouble.. also having a sep /home will help youin the future [19:09] astro76: =) Thanks for the help.

Yeah, that would be funny, of course. Now leave me alone. [19:10] Jack_Sparrow: this link shows me how to enable nvidia drivers after ubuntu is installed, i do not have ubuntu installed at this point [19:10] MisterChief Jack_Sparrow has a point -- when you reinstall you should create a separate partition for /home if you don't have one. [19:10] lol sweet [19:10] good evening everyone [19:10] Jack_Sparrow: the only trouble is that if I want to reinstall, I have to grab a CD drive from another computer and put it on, then run the disk [19:10] jrib: Wiki doesn't accept my Launchpad data [19:10] MisterChief: If you want to clone your existing install we have a help page for that [19:10] MisterChief If you do already have one, this whole operation isn't necessary unless you are just being extra cautious (not necessarily a bad thing). [19:10] brobostigon: and what permissions would you recommend? [19:10] recovery mode worked.

[19:11] laugh out loud [19:11] FactTech: How can I create a seperate partition for /home? [19:11] MisterChief You'll want to do manual partitioning when you reinstall. [19:11] ok ill stop [19:11] MisterChief: For what it is worth.. we know doing that will work... trying to undo everything you did.. is a lot more work [19:11] pg: thats depends on what access you need ot need to resrict, depends on what you want to do.

An app spread itself among a number of dirs... [19:11] MisterChief Will the computer be dual-boot? [19:11] FactTech: no [19:12] MisterChief Great, then you can wipe the whole thing. [19:12] brobostigon: I want to execute it as an ordinary user [19:12] Is there persons responsible about Wiki accounts? [19:12] this might be my problem...

Doubt it [19:13] MisterChief You can probably just do a rescue on your existing install -- it shouldn't affect /home at all. [19:13] !install | MisterChief [19:13] MisterChief: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

Yeah, that would be funny, of course. Now leave me alone. [19:13] what codecs do i need to install to run avi files?

[19:14] I need help installing blueman on gusty 64 bit [19:14] I have a CD, but no CD drive [19:14] Hey folks. I'm running 7.10 on an hp DV6500, and at random times, my network drops. The only difference I can tell when my network drops is the ipw3945 module lists "0" under the "used" category. When this happens, I can't do anything really other than do a hard power down of my laptop. What's going on here, and how can I fix it? I can't run anything sudo, and I've tried removing and reloading the module in a window that I alrea [19:14] MisterChief -- about the same problem. :) [19:14] What is the linux wacom dev package called? [19:14] FactTech: suppose so [19:14] MisterChief: Can you boot into single user mode? [19:15] MisterChief No CD drive at all or just not one that's working? [19:15] !anyone | jaggy [19:15] jaggy: 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? [19:15] MisterChief: Depends on what all you installed and HOW you installed it.. We have told you repeatedly, rolling back your install is a long hard problem. [19:15] are there drivers for uhh , I think I got a ATi Radeon X300 ? [19:15] FactTech: none at all, I have to use one from another computer [19:15] f the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?

[19:16] Seveas: lol [19:16] i got some verry nasty problems whit my ubuntu repo :s i can't download anything its always waiting at waiting for headlines (free translation ) or somthing anyone knows how to repair it [19:16] How can I make /sbin/dhclient execute without requiring a password? [19:16] i mean ftp server! [19:16] Seveas: Wiki doesn't accept my Launchpad account [19:16] Kuni1, you messed up with manually installing binary drivers [19:16] MisterChief So after you back up your files, what did you plan to do then? [19:16] Seveas: I'm already logged on Launchpad [19:16] I followed the instructions on nvidias site step by step... [19:16] RenatoSilva, ask for assistance on https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/ [19:16] jaggy: can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file for me? [19:16] I can redo it, but what do I do first to clean it all up? [19:17] ok pici [19:17] guys, is firefox the best browser.... ? [19:17] FactTech: I'm not sure, either wait for my brother to come home and put the CD drive on it and reinstall, or just try random command lines to try and get it going [19:17] Kuni1: Please provide a description of the problem instead of posting an unkonw link [19:17] Xintruder I think so [19:17] Xintruder: imo , yes . [19:17] Kuni1, you shouldn't. Ubuntu provides drivers [19:17] MisterChief Your basic issue is that you can't get your graphical interface up? [19:17] carina: easiest way is to install openssh-server, then you have ssh and sftp [19:17] Pici :http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50997/ [19:17] to clean up, follow nvidias removal instructions [19:17] FactTech: ye [19:17] Seveas if that were true... I wouldn't have had to go to Nvidia to get the right ones and actually see anything [19:17] then reinstall the ubuntu drivers [19:17] jaggy: okay, give me a minute to take a look [19:17] MisterChief But you can log in. [19:17] MisterChief and you can sudo? [19:17] gammler [19:17] ok pici ty [19:18] FactTech: only through terminal, it says it is in low graphics mode [19:18] hey guys is there an app that will let me create audio clips of words? [19:18] ubuntu's drivers DO NOT work, I get 1 screen showing christmas lights, 2 that are black and 1 with login in 600x800 res [19:18] thanks i know about that but they user might want to use ftp client to get to it [19:18] jrib: thank you, I submited a backport request for bluez-utils [19:18] using nvidias by hand I get all 4 working, but problems with GLX/OpenGL [19:18] MisterChief "only through terminal" meaning via tty1 or something? [19:18] bye everybody! [19:18] will any ftp client be able to connect to it? [19:18] FactTech: Yeah, I think so [19:18] carina: ftpd [19:19] MisterChief You know what kind of graphics card is in there? [19:19] jaggy: What country are you in? Perhaps there is a better mirror for you to use. [19:19] Hey folks. I'm running 7.10 on an hp DV6500, and at random times, my network drops.

How do i solve this? [19:20] Oh sorry. [19:20] Is the power management (things like battery) in ubuntu for laptops, identical to windows? [19:20] I was reading far up the conversatipon. [19:20] MisterChief So you can't get the GUI up at all, or it comes up just at too low of a resolution? [19:20] Seveas: Launchpad? Answers for Wiki? [19:20] pici [19:20] !who > ed_ [19:20] in belgium [19:20] FactTech: cant get it up at all [19:20] RenatoSilva, the launchpad people are responsible for the accounts [19:21] I'm running an nvidia GeForce 6200(supported by latest drivers) with 2 screens connected and a Quadro NVS 280 with two more connected(also supported by latest), ubuntu's drivers don't work at all as I explained above. I need all 4(using Xinerama) working, and OpenGL/GLX working enough for wine to work... don't care about 3D really [19:21] MisterChief There's a message about GDM not starting and you're dumped to a text terminal? [19:21] im learning a lot here thank you all [19:21] tssom: Edit -> Preference -> Content -> Colors [19:21] FactTech: yes [19:21] i just want to emphasize again to everyone running ubuntu ( and windows XP ) on a laptop http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=591503&page=65 [19:21] jaggy: What is the exact errors that you get? Can you pastebin them as well? [19:21] pici ok but its in dutch :s [19:21] MisterChief A reinstall should not be necessary, and you shouldn't worry too much about your /home directory. [19:21] Hi - I'm using Fiesty, trying to get a bluetooth adapter working. When I plug it in, a message pops up from the "KDE Bluetooth Framework" saying, "Failed to connect to the SDP server. Please make sure that sdpd is running; without it, other devices will not be able to find out which services your computer offers." Any idea on how to fix this? [19:21] text to speech app for linux?

[19:22] Xintruder: what do you mean by a battery being identical in two operating systems? [19:22] jaggy: type this: LANG=C sudo apt-get update [19:22] hi i am searching a way to create an on desktop menu like this "http://praegnanz.de/weblog/simplico" (it does not need to look exactly like the screenshot). do you know such a programm? [19:22] Seveas: and for Wiki? Are they? [19:22] FactTech: yes, to no avail [19:22] pg: thanks [19:22] XLV: Please avoid postings like that [19:22] MisterChief Are you using plain Ubuntu or a variant? [19:22] RenatoSilva, yes [19:22] brobostigon, and who said intel macs treat hdd apm differently? you might want to check it, also i have seen incidents about that problem on OSX [19:22] jesus. fscd is a nightmare to compile [19:22] FactTech: plain ubuntu 7.10 [19:23] angel: apt-cache search speech [19:23] Jack_Sparrow, why not? its a real problem, and at least in ubuntu the fix is easy [19:23] MisterChief And when you try the reconfigure, what happens? [19:23] XLV: I agree it is important... but that approach is not appropiate in this channel [19:23] pg: I think my laptop overheats faster with ubuntu, but can't verify that [19:23] FactTech: I can do the options thing, but when its done it returns to terminal and still wont work [19:23] Seveas: ok, thank you [19:23] pg, it looks like espeach is already installed but synaptic does not tell me what do i run to start it [19:23] angel: festival or espeak [19:23] is sftp install when u intall openssh? [19:23] pici again its stuckt here = http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50998/ [19:24] carina: yes [19:24] MisterChief Did you restart the computer or restart X manually? [19:24] hi Pici, how do i run espeak [19:24] carina: openssh-server [19:24] FactTech: Restarted the computer [19:24] Xintruder: my latptop seems ot get alot warmer in ubuntu aswell [19:24] MisterChief All the config program does is write the new xorg.conf file. [19:24] to* [19:24] Xintruder: that's possible. If you have a dual boot, you can test the time it takes to discharge the battery in Windows and in Linux. [19:24] angel: Its a terminal program, type `man espeak` to learn how to use it [19:24] sftp is command [19:24] MisterChief "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" does nothing? [19:25] carina: yeah right... sftp is in openssh, the server is in openssh-server [19:25] I don't have dual boot, since this is possible. How can I solve this problem? And is this dangerouse to my laptop hardware? [19:25] good day, it seems after a recent update I lost sound [19:25] Pici, wow, man is cool [19:25] pici can i man just about anything? [19:25] I'm not sure how to go about figuring out how to get it back [19:25] Xintruder whats the problem? It's been my experiience that linux lasts longer on laptops than XP [19:25] angel: indeed :) [19:25] Xintruder: i think i have seen a topic about it on ubuntu forums. you should go search it [19:25] sftp same as scp? [19:25] Pici : you got the link ? 0% [ making connection whit ip (ip) ] [19:25] angel: you mean espeak? I don't see a package called espeach. But "dpkg -L " will show you the files in the package [19:25] Anybody here trying to get Newsleecher to work on Ubuntu? [19:25] jaggy: I did, let me look at it [19:26] MisterChief Do you have admin access to this machine? If you can't sudo, that might be the issue. [19:26] k [19:26] I installed XP, and now grub has been reset, so i reset it again but now it boots directly into Ubuntu.. no choice menu whatsoever? howto fix? [19:26] carina: no, it's different, scp is useful to copy file(s) as a single command [19:26] linux certainly lasts longer than mac os x on my mac laptop [19:26] if you google for linux and laptop you should find info on how to make it last even longer [19:26] carina: sort of like cp ;) [19:26] FactTech: I have root access, and that command didn't work [19:26] Kuni1: i was saying i think my laptops overheats faster in ubuntu, like much faster its hot and not comfortable to put on my laps. [19:26] i was told that is possible [19:26] Jack_Sparrow, btw i think its not restricted to ubuntu, i have seen same behavior on XP, anyhow, if you feel anyone who runs ( at least for me ) any OS on their laptop, doesnt need to know that its drive is deteriorating, sometimes 2 or 3 times a min when the counter is about 600K, i wont point to that problem again [19:26] FactTech: it loaded GDM, but still in low graphics mode [19:26] OMG THIS IS COOL! [19:26] with sftp you copy batch of files is that the different? [19:26] MisterChief "low graphics mode" meaning low resolution GUI? [19:26] Xintruder: maby get some temperature measurer or check fan speeds? [19:27] carina: sftp is what is used to browse a remote server, like with gnome's file manager, or winscp or filezilla on windows [19:27] carina: I'm not that familiar with sftp on the command line [19:27] harm: you know of a sidepanel that shows you that? [19:27] harm: temp measurer, is that heardware or software????? [19:27] oh there is a gui for sftp? [19:27] FactTech: a dialog box says "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" and switches back to tty1 or whatever it is [19:27] tssom: pretty sure gdesklets will have something to suit your needs.. [19:28] MisterChief did you try "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" (instead of "start")? [19:28] carina: most ftp programs, gftp, and the others I mentioned [19:28] Xintruder: most motherboards have temperature sensors on them anyway.. [19:28] i c [19:28] harm: but it's not as cool looking as the others i've seen. the others i've seen shows you tcp traffic etc.. i've been looking for it, but i cant find it [19:28] jaggy: Are you able to access the internet at all on that computer? [19:28] tssom: cant u help there.. [19:28] Xintruder do that google search.. I used to have it but my last XP crash corrupted all my FX settings and I lost it(hence I switched fully to linux), but there's some info out there about making linux laptops much better with battery usage and such that might help [19:28] XLV: We address problems broung to us, we dont broadcast info in the channel randomly [19:28] is anyone able to help me try to resolve my missing sound? everything was fine until just recently [19:28] FactTech: just tried that now [19:29] MisterChief What happened? [19:29] my processes are taking up all my cpu, and the list of screen resolutions are out of sync [19:29] Hey folks. I'm running 7.10 on an hp DV6500, and at random times, my network drops. The only difference I can tell when my network drops is the ipw3945 module lists "0" under the "used" category. When this happens, I can't do anything really other than do a hard power down of my laptop. What's going on here, and how can I fix it? I can't run anything sudo, and I've tried removing and reloading the module in a window that I alrea [19:29] FactTech: if I Ctrl Alt F7, it still has that low graphics dialog [19:29] Jack_Sparrow, ok then... [19:29] MisterChief So the GUI is up on terminal 7, its' just not the resolution you want? [19:30] How can I make /sbin/dhclient execute without requiring a password? [19:30] FactTech: no, there's no GUI [19:30] Hello, is there a way to keep my sound muted when my system starts up, or remove the quick drum sound on startup? [19:30] astro: in gftp i select ssh2 = sftp right? [19:30] FactTech: It has that dialog box then switches to the tty1 thing === Ash908 is now known as Ashfire908 [19:30] man visudo, pg [19:30] MisterChief That message comes up only in text? tty7 looks like tty1 -- pure text like an old DOS computer? [19:30] carina: yes [19:30] pg: man interfaces [19:30] hello all. I have a Windows XP boot partition that I want to delete and then create an ext3 part on. will deleting the WINXP partition mess up my GRUB? [19:31] (pg: Sorry I can't give you a better answer---I'm not entirely sure, but you can set it in the visudo tool) [19:31] is there away to get a longplayer.org streaming audio to start at startup [19:31] FactTech: no it's a graphical dialog box, but that's the only graphical bit available [19:31] the7thmagus: You have to remove it from /boot/grub/menu.lst [19:31] MisterChief if you "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" and switch to tty7, is it still there? [19:31] Pici, [19:31] Lets say my laptop does overheat alot with ubuntu, can that damage my laptop technically? [19:31] so what you think [19:31] the7thmagus, no, you'll just have a non-functioning reference to windows in the grub menu; you can remove that stanza from /boot/grub/menu.lst if you like [19:31] excessive heat is bad [19:31] MisterChief Can you see your mouse pointer on tty7? [19:31] the7thmagus, it 'shouldent' - of course its not too hard to fix grub. :) but as long as you make a new partition in its place. it shouldent mess things up [19:31] btw [19:31] well i was here yesturday and i was reccomended to install xbubntu alt [19:31] ah, cool. is it safe to delete from gparted from within ubuntu? [19:31] jaggy: Can you access the internet at all on that computer? [19:31] i did [19:32] yes i can acces internet everywhere ( 7 comp ) [19:32] and im stuck [19:32] never mind seems I've figured it out [19:32] anyone familair with the alt installer [19:32] FactTech: yes, it's a black cross [19:32] Xintruder, install lm sensors, and some app to view their values and check temps [19:32] the7thmagus, just be absolutely sure the partition is not mounted [19:32] Is there some kind of software amplifier in apt? Even with the volume all the way up, I can't seem to get more than the level of a whisper out of my speakers, and I know the speakers can get a lot louder. [19:32] the7thmagus: what will happen is you will change your uuid's and then not get into ubuntu.. [19:32] !uuid [19:32] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [19:33] MisterChief OK, so X is up then. If you scroll to the side of the screen (at the edge), does the "low graphics" dialog box move? [19:33] Is there a handwriting recognition package for unix yet? [19:33] Jack_Sparrow, changing one partition type changes all uuid's!!?? [19:33] I seem to only be able to find commercial software [19:33] Pici, to be honest , i'm on that comp now XD [19:33] FactTech: no [19:33] nickrud: All partions past the one you change .. yes, that is my understanding [19:33] erawfish:, MenZa: for some reason network manager drops the connection with my network card, so I have to run dhclient manually. It's already set up as "auto wlan0" in etc/network/interfaces. In /etc/sudoers, I have the line "dialout ALL = (dialout) NOPASSWD: /sbin/dhclient [19:34] Jack_Sparrow, I've got just the partition to experiment with ... now to find a live cd just in case [19:34] XLV: whats the name of the package? [19:34] jaggy: I only ask, because that ip addres: 63.149.98.223, is neither of the ubuntu mirrors that you have in that sources.list file. [19:34] nickrud: Let me know.. [19:34] MisterChief So X is up but you can't login because GDM won't start? [19:34] Yes FactTech [19:34] Alsa support channel is not helping in any way shape or form whatsoever, so can anyone please help me solve why my speakers make this skipping like noise over all my sound? [19:34] wait a sec !!!!!! i know what happend !! i installed the medibunutu repo yesterday and since then i can't use my comp now what !! :'( [19:35] nickrud: You may get away with just formatting it.. but any change to it in size will be a problem for sure [19:35] jaggy: But the medibuntu repo wasn't in that sources.list file that you pastebinned to me... [19:35] MisterChief Is your card auto-detected when you reconfigure X? [19:35] clear [19:35] but i installed it :s what the hell [19:36] jaggy: how did you install it? [19:36] Xintruder, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2780&page=23 [19:36] FactTech: No, it's just a "VESA - generic vesa-compliant video cards" [19:36] Guys whenever I use update manager, I get a white box in the middle I cant get rid of. The cause is compiz, but I don't know how to stop it???? [19:36] MisterChief Do you remember if you were using a restricted driver before? [19:36] XLV: thanks [19:36] Can anyone tell me what I can do to disable all the bells and whistles like compiz ,Emerald etc? I want to see how fast I can speed this thing up. I have 1.6mhz AMD. and 1.256 mem.. [19:36] I'm vesa-compliant! Sweet! [19:36] turn off compiz [19:36] that white box is asking for your password [19:36] Any one elses beagled keep borking out on them? Consumes more resources than China.

I want my terminal to me text and background only, no title bar. [19:37] Montego, click on visual preferences tab and click none [19:37] MisterChief That's a strange issue. I would think you should be able to get logged in, just that you wouldn't get the resolutions you wanted until you got the right driver. Does this happen even if you boot in safe graphics mode? [19:38] Generic cool. What about xserver do I need that when I reboot? [19:38] FactTech: How can I boot in safe graphics mode? I don't think I get the chance to [19:38] !beagledOk, does any one know why, beagled keeps taking up most of my resources? It is published that it happens, but not why it happens. [19:38] foug: if you are in gnome-terminal, there is an option in preferences [19:38] Montego, only if you plan on using strictly command line [19:38] When the machine first starts up and you get the GRUB menu, there should be a safe graphics mode entry to try. [19:38] greetings all ---I am having trouble getting the nvidia video drivers to work I have tried the glx and glxnew and the nvidia driver from the vendor it goes from kdm login acts like its going to log in and then drops out. [19:38] anyone know where there is a log file that might tell me whats going on? [19:38] FactTech: I think it auto-boots to normal [19:38] Oh no not me ,LOL Will try it out thanks. [19:39] I got a question for you. Why is it when ever I do anything that requires graphics (3d) eg Celestia) the menus start flashing and go beind the grahpics and us. And the sceensafer has the same flashing issue too. [19:39] Guys whenever I use update manager, I get a white box in the middle I cant get rid of. The cause is compiz, but I don't know how to stop it???? [19:39] MisterChief You don't even get a few seconds to switch it using the up and down arrow keys? [19:39] Can anyone help me with a mic problem? [19:39] hi all [19:39] fough: it's called 'show menubar by default in new terminals' and it's in the general tab [19:39] jaggy: Still, none of those addresses match that address either. Have you used any other third party repostories, like automatix? [19:39] MisterChief You could try creating an additional entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst [19:39] I have gnash installed, but its not working brilliantly [19:40] no wait [19:40] I've also got adobe flash player installed [19:40] but firefox uses gnash [19:40] Xintruder: try in a terminal: metacity --replace [19:40] hikenboot: Drop the color depth in xorg and see if the problem goes away.. Sorry I cant help more. But I am watching the games today [19:40] FactTech: what is the command for that? [19:41] Jowi: that disable compiz didnt it? [19:41] Laurenceb: how do you know you have adobe flash player installed [19:41] Xintruder: it will temporary replace the window decorator with metacity (default for gnome), yes [19:42] Can anyone help me with this pathetic skipping noise accuring over all of my sound...? [19:42] MisterChief Well, let's see... first you'll want to back up the file "sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.backup-safe" [19:42] Jack_Sparrow, just broke up an empty ext3 partition into two, both are before root and home. Off I go ... [19:42] Laurenceb: it didn't work for me from the repository [19:42] Jowi: I do want to use compiz... :/ [19:42] Jack_Sparrow, thanks I will try that problem is it was working same color depth [19:43] Laurenceb: go to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins; there should be a file called libflashplayer.so [19:43] Xintruder: oh, not at all? I don't use gnome so I don't know where it is located now... perhaps in the system preferences menu. "desktop effects" I think it's called... [19:43] anyone else in here know a way to force a reinstall of Ubuntu without destroying home directory [19:43] Xintruder: I could be wrong (someone correct me if needed) [19:43] FactTech: done the backu [19:43] MisterChief Actually, come to think of it, I'm not sure it is a "safe graphics mode", just a recovery mode. [19:43] hikenboot: NExt time you reinstall... create a second partition for /home ... works well [19:43] I am using gutsy [19:43] FactTech: wouldn't recovery mode be a good idea as well? [19:44] MisterChief I don't think it would change your situation much. === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [19:44] hikenboot: if you created a separate /home during install you can use the same /home partition in the next install. simply *do not format it*. [19:44] ah so just reinstall and dont overwrite the /home partition and then switch them? [19:44] how to execute *.sh file? [19:44] MisterChief I think it's just a single-user mode, but I could be wrong. [19:44] I remember sayin' hello then makin' a statement, no one replies [19:44] Pici i'm back [19:44] im using a laptop but when i run acpitool -B it says i dont have a battery. any ideas why? [19:44] Jowi: ill always do what u told me, it does solve my problem. [19:44] ah Jowi i understand [19:44] FactTech: okay, would a fresh install be the best option for me then? [19:44] MisterChief "sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst" to edit the file. [19:44] thanks [19:44] Hey folks. I'm running 7.10 on an hp DV6500, and at random times, my network drops. The only difference I can tell when my network drops is the ipw3945 module lists "0" under the "used" category. When this happens, I can't do anything really other than do a hard power down of my laptop. What's going on here, and how can I fix it? I can't run anything sudo, and I've tried removing and reloading the module in a window that I alrea [19:45] compengi: 'chmod +x file.sh && ./file.sh' or 'sh file.sh' [19:45] MagicDuck, no I want to take away the title bar [19:45] MisterChief You could just try to reinstall all packages or something with apt-get. [19:45] hello [19:45] thanks astro76 [19:45] compengi: the first assumes the file has a proper #! as the first line [19:45] FactTech: how would I apt-get all packages? [19:45] hikenboot: but, if you do not have a separate home partition now you will need to backup /home. then in the fresh install create a /home partition and copy the backup to there. [19:45] Will this channel please be of a more major assistance, I have been asking for 4 days straight very kindly about a speaker issue and everyone never responds. my speaker makes a skipping noise only when making sound. [19:45] how to replace orange ubuntu boot screen with a custom one?? [19:46] MisterChief Let me look into it for a few minutes... [19:46] What do i use to unpack rarset? [19:46] hello all [19:46] 3 [19:46] foug: it's a checkbox - so you can choose wether to show it or not [19:46] new to ubuntu running the live cd for now [19:46] using rsync at a safe mode boot? [19:46] hi, i have a problem with network manager, every time i reboot, i have to write wpa password again, any ideas how to save it? [19:46] MagicDuck: I only see "disable menu bar" [19:46] MisterChief: I linked.. ages ago on how to clone your install or create a list of installed packages.. [19:46] tssom: unrar x file.rar (rar nonfree package) [19:46] !clone [19:46] 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 [19:47] Jack_Sparrow: Oh, sorry, thanks :D [19:47] !ompaul [19:47] ompaul is well ompaul, don't get me started about that guy [19:47] foug: are you sure you are using gnome-terminal [19:47] !tuxice [19:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about tuxice - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:47] foug: on gutsy? [19:47] MagicDuck: yes, I want to take awya the title bar. The blue bar on the very top that shows user@localhost. Not just the menu bar [19:47] MagicDuck: yes 7.10 [19:48] oh, I see [19:48] hey look at that i did make separate home partition I will just reinstall my root partition and usr var tmp partitions and leave swap alone too [19:48] Jowi: Thank you so much. :)) [19:48] anyone got a compiz themes tutorial? [19:48] hikenboot: cool... [19:48] Jack_Sparrow Can i query you for some questions? [19:48] pornowopper: heh. nice nick. [19:49] Hey folks. I'm running 7.10 on an hp DV6500, and at random times, my network drops. The only difference I can tell when my network drops is the ipw3945 module lists "0" under the "used" category. When this happens, I can't do anything really other than do a hard power down of my laptop. What's going on here, and how can I fix it? I can't run anything sudo, and I've tried removing and reloading the module in a window that I alrea [19:49] MisterChief I think "sudo apt-get --reinstall" will do what I'm thinking of. [19:49] Ropechoborra: Sorry.. busy watching game... only here during commercials [19:49] God i really love this distro. I would like to just yell out THANK YOU to all those sory bastards making it possible :) [19:49] anybody know how to get GDM on a different screen than just :0 ? [19:49] hi [19:49] Ok [19:49] foug: there are some options in the "Title and Command" tab but I don't think you can completely take away the title bar - you wouldn't have minimize, maximize, close buttons then [19:49] tssom: ditto :) [19:49] anyone know if they are making perminent changes to compiz so that different wallpapers and videos can be used on as the backgrounds for each side of the cube... I got myself in this mess trying a patch to allow different sides to have different pics [19:49] humblerodent, i had a similer issue with 2 monitors. I THINK there may be some extra settings in the gdm config files. [19:50] MagicDuck: ya that's fine i don't need them [19:50] MisterChief That should basically attempt to reinitialize everything on your system. Could take a while. [19:50] hikenboot: Ask in #Compiz [19:50] ah ok thanks [19:50] !compiz | hikenboot [19:50] hikenboot: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [19:50] foug: then you need to be using enlightenment [19:50] m:) [19:50] MagicDuck: what's that? [19:50] hikenboot: They are a helpful bunch [19:50] hi, i need help with amarok [19:50] Dr_willis: okay....I don't have two monitors though, I just want it on my second display (Ctrl+Alt+F8) and not just the first one.... [19:51] hey people i need some guidance [19:51] just ask Doonz [19:51] MisterChief "sudo apt-get --reinstall --simulate" should just pretend to do it so you can see if it looks like it will do anything dangerous. [19:51] humblerodent, you mean you are running 2 seperate X sessions. One on tty7 one on tty8 eh? [19:51] FactTech: okay, thanks [19:51] Dr_willis: exactly [19:51] hi, i have a problem with network manager, every time i reboot, i have to write wpa password again, any ideas how to save it? [19:51] MisterChief Good luck. I don't have any other ideas for you. [19:51] humblerodent, theres way to make gdm spawn on both.. but i aint messed with that in years. [19:52] amarok doesn't play any sound, even though it shows the song as being played [19:52] it's another window manager - whatever - they call it a desktop shell - go to http://www0.get-e.org/ [19:52] i don't have this problem with any other music players [19:52] They call it a 'window manager' :) [19:52] right now i have a file set up with 7 hdds on a win2k3 box that are using dynamic disk. so they appear as one large hadd. I also have a das box that uses the SIL 3124 chipset with port multiplier [19:52] how do i remove adirectory if it's not empty? [19:52] Dr_willis: heh, well I'd prefer to be able to start it right now on the :1, instead of having to restart GDM entirely, so that I don't have to kill all my programs =P [19:52] I'm havin g a problem getting Ubuntu to recognise a harddrive. [19:53] if i break up my 7hdds into just basica disk formated as ntfx will i be able to read the under ubuntu and is it possible to use port multiplier under unbuntu? [19:53] Looks like I'll have to reinstall [19:53] see you all and thanks for the help I will let you all know if I successfully reinstalled..either I will be back or i wont..lol [19:53] humblerodent, the root user can spawn a new X session on the fly with the right command/options.. (which i forget) [19:53] MagicDuck: hmm, it's a lot more customizable than gnome? [19:53] Doonz, yes you can use the ntfs-3g driver to read ntfs disk, dunno bout port multiplier [19:53] foug: it's in development right now, but there are some guides on the ubuntu forums on how to install it from cvs [19:54] When using wine: does it make a difference running the program throught the ntfs driver rather then the fake c drive? [19:54] allright, i'll try it out, thanks [19:54] Ax-Ax, i assume you mean in the command line? [19:54] ok [19:54] through* [19:54] bhxt, yes? [19:54] so 1 question answered [19:54] I have non-floss flash plugin 9.0 r48 and I need to upgrade to r115 to repro a bug.. how can I install r115?? [19:54] Dr_willis: I've spawned the X session with no problem =) it's GDM I want, lol [19:54] just need to figure out about the port multiplier [19:54] use rm -r directory [19:54] it will remove the directory and everything in it [19:54] ok [19:56] what kernel is being used in the latest ubuntu stable? [19:56] Hello, anyone can recommend a newb-friendly GUI for Samba? Everybody is recommending JAGS but it crashes repeatedly on my PC [19:56] is there something friendly and easier than lm-sensors that does its job? [19:56] when having "startfluxbox" in my xstartup file I get a fluxbox session in vnc but then having "exec gnome-session" or "gnome-session" I get nothing. Any ideas? [19:56] ive never heard of JAGS [19:56] Palthron, webmin [19:57] Doonz: I got 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP [19:57] webmin, ok. downloading. thx. [19:57] Palthron, it pays big time to read the 'using samba' book and lern how the configs should be. Its free in the samba-doc package. theres other books also. [19:57] Anyone know where I can get an updated gusty CD from (the 148 updates causes problems) [19:57] Palthron: if you just need to share folders you can right-click the folder on nautilus and select "share" ? [19:57] Palthron, then theres the 'swat' front end to samba. [19:57] I'm havin g a problem getting Ubuntu to recognise a harddrive. [19:57] k, guys. I was successful in creating the partition. thank you [19:58] Hello all === GodTodd_ is now known as GodTodd [19:58] the7thmagus: great [19:58] Dr_willis : I'm not the only one using this PC so I'm trying to keep users messing and ranting terminal :) [19:58] http://home-tj.org/wiki/index.php/Libata-tj-stable <-- that about port multipliers. Can someone with more knowledge read it quikly to see it it will work with ubuntu? [19:58] My system is stuck while booting --- halted at "Kernel alive" message [19:58] Johan-_: you wish to switch to fluxbox as wm ? [19:58] Any ideas about how to push it forward? === chuy is now known as FullMon-T [19:58] ikonia: would you lend me a hand? [19:58] Palthron, It pays to learn the fundamentals.. of course only the Root/admin should be messing with the samba configs anyway. [19:58] the7thmagus: You didnt change the partition size, just the format correct? [19:59] mnemo : i want to see what i'm sharing on one interface [19:59] some reason i cant get torrentflux working is gusy [19:59] Palthron, you may want to describe what yoyu are trying to do. - swat is a decent front end to samba. KDE has one also.. not sure about a gnome specific one [19:59] can anyone help [19:59] How can I make /sbin/dhclient execute without requiring a password? /etc/sudoers contains the line "dialout ALL = (dialout) NOPASSWD: /sbin/dhclient", but it still asks for a password [19:59] can anyone provide their expertise [19:59] Dr_willis : yes i will learn it 'the hard way' but i don't wan;t others to tell me to put windows back [20:00] Why does my media player play in slow motion? [20:00] i'll try swat and webmin first for now [20:00] Palthron: do you share different folders on different interfaces you mean? [20:00] Well I'll be damned [20:00] It booted now [20:00] Weird [20:00] mnemo: yes, currently ubuntu, xp, 98, and vista [20:00] Palthron, webmin is nice. but considered a security issue. its not inthe repos any more either. will have to use its source.. but its fairly eays to install [20:00] first when i try to install xbubuntu the cd drive recognition part doesn't find it for like 6 tries which equals like 40 mins then it eventually finds it and enables hdparm [20:01] how do i do that manually [20:01] I did a CTRL+Z on a program. How do I get back to it? [20:01] and it gets stuck on partionining [20:01] i used a linux sys disk and formated the drive to ext 3 [20:01] what do i use to join a multipart zip file back together? Archive manager says that all 7 parts are not the last file in the set. [20:01] Palthron, you doing some weird things with the shares or what exactly? sharing the homes and a few public shares is rather straightforward. [20:01] FullMon-T: did you want me? [20:01] doctajoyce: check the md5sum of the CD. also try a burn at low speed (x2) [20:01] Dr_willis : I'm now kinda used installing from a source code and I'm sure there's plenty of sources on Google for installing from it so it shouldn't be a problem (maybe) [20:01] Palthron: if you have a ubuntu machine running you can select "places :: network :: windows network :: etc" to view what you are sharing (but I think this goes for all network cards/interfaces) [20:02] hmm [20:02] ok [20:02] Palthron, webmin is rather easy to isntall from souce. :) easier then most apps actally [20:02] yes but currently i can't see my vista box folders [20:02] anyone happen to know where unicode annotations are? (what pkg) I need to file a bug report [20:02] !ubot rar [20:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubot rar - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:02] what is a good .rar unzipper [20:02] I did CTRL+Z on a process and it stopped. How do I resume that process? And, when I have got my process back, how do I get a running process into the background without stopping it? CTRL+Z stopping the process...

I reformatted the drive, and it still won't come up in Ubuntu. [20:03] dn4: unrar (nonfree) [20:03] Niklas_25, use the bg command. [20:03] zuriv: I want to use gnome, but only fluxbox works [20:03] Dr_willis: Thanks [20:03] Dr_willis : I'll try swat first to keep version updating simple [20:03] Niklas_25, read up on bash job control also some times. [20:03] Palthron, so your whole 'samba' problem is not seeing the shares on a vista box? [20:03] Dr_willis: Like man bg?

When I'm in ubuntu 7.10 and I go to youtube, when I watch videos my whole computer will pause for seconds at a time [20:04] FullMon-T: have we talked about this before (just curious to why you've asked me specifically) [20:04] Niklas_25, theres dozens of bash books out :) and sites and guides...

Thanks for the help. === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [20:04] Dr_willis : yes and simplicity of mounting shared folders from vista on ubuntu and vice versa [20:04] when i try all the other searches it doesnt show any results [20:04] the md5 is supposed to be a md5 file [20:04] bc the one i have is a .txt [20:04] grr [20:05] Jack_Sparrow, the uuid didn't change. Because I had split the partition in two, my root moved from /dev/hda6 to /dev/hda7 , but the uuid did not change. [20:05] ermmmmmm just now vista opened my ubuntu folder without me doing anything.... [20:05] ikonia: You helped me a bit before. (Clue: Vag*na Gentium) [20:05] vista is weird :?

Currently am loosing my bridge when am restarting [20:06] FullMon-T: what problem are you actually having [20:06] Jack_Sparrow, that as I understood it was the point of the uuid, it would be the same, allowing the actual device to move around [20:06] I can't get Ubuntu to recognise that there is a seperate harddrive present. [20:06] When I click on conky, it makes a selection from the other side of the desktop to where I clicked on conky. How do I fix it? Please help :{ [20:06] ikonia: I can't get Ubuntu to recognise that there is a seperate harddrive present. [20:06] FullMon-T: define what you have done and what the symptoms are [20:06] Palthron, for accessing the vista shares.. it may be vista doing somthing different. :) as for seeing all the shares. You may want to check out the samba fuse tools.. of course accessing the shares on windows box's is not controled by samba actually.... [20:06] !find smbfuse [20:07] Package/file smbfuse does not exist in gutsy [20:07] Dr_willis: is thre such a thing ? [20:07] fullmon, what filesystem are you using on that drive? [20:07] there even [20:07] !info fusesmb [20:07] fusesmb: filesystem client based on the SMB file transfer protocol. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.6-1 (gutsy), package size 29 kB, installed size 140 kB [20:07] ikonia, what thing? :) i use fusesmb all the time. - its darn handy [20:07] Dr_willis: never used it, just asking [20:07] nickrud: I agree but how it was calculated origianlly used partition size and location to calc the uuid http://linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php/UUID_-what_is_it_and_why_is_it_a_problem [20:07] Palthron, the fusesmb tool for ubuntu - makes accessing the windows shares a LOT nicer. :) [20:07] Dr_willis : this is getting rather confusing for me. Let me walk it step by step slowly :) [20:08] Dr_willis : is fusesmb a frontend? [20:08] Palthron, fusesmb is a samba interface to the FUSE tools. [20:08] is there a simple console program that can record audio from my microphone? just need to see if it works. no x server on this machine. console only [20:08] how do i find out if my web cam works [20:08] ikonia: No drive present under Computer, Nothing in /Media. The drive did a vanishing act. So I reformatted the drive, and reinstalled XP on it, and now I still can't access it through Ubuntu. [20:09] FullMon-T: ok - it's a usb driver yes/no [20:09] drive sorry [20:09] Palthron, on my machine i do the command 'fusesmb Network' (whichis a directory) and Poof.. the whole samba network/shares.everything appears in the Network dir. :) [20:09] khaotik, see if driver gets loaded in dmesg + lsusb + lshw [20:09] Ikonia: Internal hd. [20:09] Dr_willis : installing fusesmb now [20:09] bolt: you can just pipe it to a wav-file directly? [20:09] Dr_willis : And removing swat + jags [20:09] FullMon-T: ok, so what device file is it associated to [20:09] Palthron, as shares/machines appear/vanish - they apear/vanish from the Network dir. [20:09] eckesicle: i can? [20:09] Hi, i installed fglrx drivers and i get the correct output when i type fglrxinfo yet my graphical performance is very very poor. I had it working properly before. is there anythin i can do about this perofmance [20:09] is there something i can type into the terminal to see if its enabled or something [20:10] Palthron, swat + javs are config tools to configure SAMBA on the linux box.. they have nothing to do with mountign remote shares. [20:10] ikonia: I'm not sure, how do I tell? [20:10] khaotik, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam [20:10] new to linux and ubuntu, goals i want to have: ow to run an ftp server, web server and ultimately a server box'= [20:10] nickrud: I am thrilled that it has been fixed... [20:10] khaotik, try clicking apps, graphics, xsane image scanner and see if u can choose your cam in there [20:10] !webcam | khaotik [20:10] khaotik: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [20:10] FullMon-T: how many disks to you have it that machine ? [20:10] Palthron, you are getting 2 different tasks confused. :) [20:10] good looking i will check it out [20:10] Jack_Sparrow, I think the point that the guy is missing is the uuid is calculated once, when the partition is created/resized. Until that particular partition is changed, the uuid is constant === luisbg_ is now known as luisbg [20:10] Dr_willis : ow i thought it could automount my shared folder to a local folder [20:10] nickrud: Thanks for the test.. now we all know the full answer. [20:11] Palthron, you can do that without swat or other tools.. by just editing the fstab.. or using a tool like the fuse smb thing. or other ways [20:11] Dr_willis : Ok fusesmb installed. what next? [20:11] Palthron, swat and others - configure the shares on the LINUX box. [20:11] what is the best way i can get my broadcom wifi chip working? should i use the NDISwrapper?? [20:11] Palthron, mount [20:11] Palthron, read its man pages? :) for a start let me check the locationof the default config. [20:11] nickrud: So changing the size will change the uuid... changing the format will not.. and only for that partition.. cool [20:11] bolt: yes. let me try it first though. [20:11] !fusesmb [20:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about fusesmb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:11] Jack_Sparrow: physical parameters only [20:11] ikonia: 3 drives: 200GB IDE running Ubuntu, 300GB SATA running as a storage space, and an 80GB IDE for Windows. The 80GB is the drive I am having problems with. [20:11] Dr_willis yes i did edit fstab but it's too techy for any other user [20:11] Jack_Sparrow, didn't try the format ... [20:11] !fuse | Palthron [20:11] How do I fix the error where xmms says another program is using my soundcard? [20:11] Palthron: FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems [20:11] Jack_Sparrow, just the size [20:12] FullMon-T: ok, so in that case you should have /dev/sda /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc yes/no [20:12] Palthron, for a start - pick a user to use. copy the file /usr/share/doc/fusesmb/examples/fusesmb.conf.ex to /home/USERNAME/.smb/fusesmb.conf [20:12] nickrud: The guy we were talking with earlier, was just changing the format.. which brought up the original question [20:12] everybody : getting too confused, i'll read the manual first and try something. i'll get right back here immediately after. [20:12] Palthron, then you edit that file to enter the share info/passwords and so forth. [20:13] bolt: okay didn't work for me but my microphone probably doesnt work. You can always use the sound recorder to test your microphone. You find it in Applications->Sound and Video->Sound Recorder [20:13] everybody : sorry, i'm not too used with a super crowded channel :) [20:13] Jack_Sparrow, forgot about that part, focused on your mention of resize. Oh, well, what's another few minutes :) [20:13] :) [20:13] question? how do i get a internal hd to mount at boot? i just want to use it for storage. right now only root user has permissions, i want permissions? [20:13] are there any other web browsers installed by default in ubuntu? [20:13] Hmm.. if i need to add a user to the fuse group - whats the proper command line command to do that? I forget. :( [20:14] Abatrour: ubuntu installs firefox only [20:14] Hi, i installed fglrx drivers and i get the correct output when i type fglrxinfo yet my graphical performance is very very poor. I had it working properly before. is there anythin i can do about this performance [20:14] aside from firefox? i want to see if its just firefox that makes my computer freeze [20:14] Abatrour: you can install additional ones [20:14] ikonia: yes, here: http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?17521f85b3.png Sorry it loads slow.

[20:19] !ia64 | redspike [20:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about ia64 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:19] Ax-Ax: If you get the same output all files are there! But beware, if you have changed anything in your home catalogue since you copied this will output error. [20:19] Dr_willis : not finished yet, i still cannot write to the vista box (read only) but i'll work it out [20:19] bolt: you can record mic with "arecord" I think [20:20] FullMon-T: somehing is very wrong with your system then as all disks should show up as sdX not hdX [20:20] MisterC Are you the same as MisterChief who was on a while ago?

[20:20] khermans: he does not want the ia64 package [20:20] i think it's vista's fault, not samba [20:20] Palthron, i guarentee its somthing vista is doing. [20:20] ikonia, he said it was not amd64 -- it was xeon [20:21] khermans: zeon is amd64 [20:21] cool thnx [20:21] khermans: ia64 is itanium [20:21] ikonia, not entirely true [20:21] Palthron, vista did a few smb things differently. and it broke a few things.

[20:21] thanks ubotu [20:21] this bug with firefox which leaves flash elements of a page ontop of every window when it crashes IS LAME [20:22] HElp. I have \No drive present under Computer, Nothing in /Media. The drive did a vanishing act. So I reformatted the drive, and reinstalled XP on it, and now I still can't access it through Ubuntu.

How do I get ubuntu to reconfig X for it. [20:22] FullMon-T: I've explained there is a serious flaw with your system that disks are being shown using the old libata policy of ide=hda scsi/sata=sda, which is not appropriate for ubuntu 7.10 [20:22] ? [20:22] hi [20:22] ikonia: I figured that you couldn't help me on account of my drives being hd instead of sd... [20:22] sorry for the spamming... When launching a vnc4server server with "exec gnome-session" in my xstarup file the gnome-session starts up but isn't shoing in the vncclient. Any ideas? [20:23] khermans: iam going to run vmware server on it, and i have 14G memory installed. is the 64bit AMD and Intel computers the right image to use then? [20:23] FullMon-T: please show me the output of uname -a [20:23] Jack_Sparrow, now all we need if for grub to not need (hd0,5). That was the only issue with my grub when splitting a lower numbered partition into two [20:23] ikonia: Is there a work around [20:23] Dr_willis : what did vista did to ubuntu?

[20:26] htmljunkie: there are guides on https://help.ubuntu.com [20:26] Arthur37855: HAve you set it to mount at boot? [20:26] harm, no. How long does it take you to start up, say gedit?

[20:26] does ubuntu have a built in firewall? [20:26] abat when is that ue [20:26] due [20:26] !firewall | Dozier [20:26] Dozier: 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). [20:27] Dozier, iptables [20:27] Yo, when I attempt to play videos via VLC and Totem Movie Player, the videos are sometimes in grayscale. [20:27] harm, particularly after it's been run once and closed [20:27] Dozier: yes, called iptables [20:27] !firewall [20:27] nickrud: well on my super fresh Desktop install it takes a bit longer then it should and on my abused laptop it can take twice as long as it should.. perhaps its because of gnome-manager or something?

How do I get ubuntu to reconfig X for it ? [20:27] Kunzy: ubuntu 7.10 comes with compiz-fusion already installed which means you already have the new version of beryl [20:28] Dr_willis : firewall is off from the start. i don't want it bugging me for now. got enough problems as it is :) [20:28] Kasplatt, by trying very very hard to find an alternative [20:28] jsoftw, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [20:28] ahh ok [20:28] Dr_willis quite dangerous ?

If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [20:55] with what can i open .pub (microsoft publisher files) in ubuntu? [20:55] I have to fix my sound problem .. [20:55] no [20:55] FullMon-T: excuse me, sorry. Try setting it to "slave" not cable select [20:56] ok dude [20:56] Dozier: I think you said the address was .250 ... that's way up there in the lease range --- are you sure that is valid for your config? [20:56] thanks a lot [20:56] oh, it was ubotu [20:56] let me have a look [20:56] lostsanity: How and when did you install flash [20:56] ikonia, it is a crappy drive out of an old compuke. There is no "slave", just "master" and "cable select" [20:56] cpudan80: yes, my ipcop gives out address in that range. my windows machine is 254, xbox is 253, etc [20:56] hi [20:56] FullMon-T: what is the other disk set to ? [20:56] Is there a search program for Ubuntu that allows you to specify a directory and search within files? [20:56] oh ok it descends the range [20:57] Guys, this is a really dumb question, if you had the hardware (high specs) and all you needed windows for is some adobe programs, which would you use, xp or vista?? [20:57] Ok, so then does anyone know hot i can go about enabling this xorg-driver-fglrx so i can enable it for my ATI Radeon X1900GT video card? [20:57] FullMon-T: What brand.. some use no jumper for stand alone [20:57] Jack_Sparrow: I have the image I want i just need to change the color around it> [20:57] cpudan80: correct [20:57] Niteye: Check out http://convert.neevia.com/. [20:57] Habibi: join ##windows [20:57] I have one of these board games that come with a dvd but most software I try on linux have problems playing it correctly. any suggestions on what to try? [20:57] shadix: All I know about splash.. is on the link I gave.. [20:57] ikonia, i was asking for an opinon [20:57] i have a question about skype, i installed it then tested calling it by calling my home phone and it worked. the bad part is that i do not have an account and it said it was going to bill for 2cents a minute. i did not type in my adress, will skype come after me :(? [20:57] Habibi, not here it is offtopic thanks [20:57] Jack_Sparrow: thx [20:57] Habibi, windows discussion in ##windows [20:57] Is there an issue with Ubuntu connecting to a Belkin wireless router? [20:57] FullMon-T: sadly it did not help [20:58] Parsec300, routers are routers. If there's an issue, its with your card. [20:58] I just asked this in #xubuntu, but does anyone know how to stop the display from suspending after 10 minutes? It happens no matter what I disable (even DPMS in xorg.conf).. [20:58] cpudan80: hmm, my ipcop box can't ping the ubuntu machine either [20:58] jack_sparrow, went to adobe's website and did the manual install, and it was not long before it started now that you mention it, however i think i used the automatic install thinger from firefox directly before that but it didn't work [20:58] so i have to convert the .pub files first to .pdf with a website?? isnt there any program that can just open them as they are? [20:58] Parsec300: I had a router issue this week... Other pc's could connect, the new one could not.. I finally replaced the router and all is well [20:58] PriceChild, I can't connect to my Belkin, but I can connect to my neighbours router. Both no encryption. [20:59] hi, i do believe i sucessfully installed the drivers for my wireless usb device, but when i go to configure my network i dont have wireless listed, just modem and ethernet. what to do? this a thread on the subject, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4085719&posted=1#post4085719 and i'm following this wiki, written by the guy replying to me in the thread... https://help.ubuntu.com/communit [20:59] y/WifiDocs/Device/TRENDnet_TEW-424UB_3.0R_(ndiswrapper) [20:59] paradon, mac filtering? [20:59] lostsanity: So that is where the issue started... I can offer a workaround.. but it would be better to wait if you can.. How long.. no one knows [20:59] cpudan80: i even tried changing my ethernet cable being used on ubuntu and moving to a new port [20:59] Dozier: Makes me think that the ubuntu box isn't getting a valid IP [20:59] cpudan80: maybe, but it appears to be, no? [21:00] Dozier: Can the dlink thing ping the ubuntu box? [21:00] cpudan80: i doubt it but i'll try [21:00] ikonia: The IDE running Ubuntu is set to master. The one that isn't working is a Seagate "baracuda 2800" made for Compaq. [21:00] It would be bad if it could [21:00] indeed [21:00] Dozier: It does look like the IP is valid though, very weird [21:00] FullMon-T: I can't see a reason it would be seein in bios/windows yet no ubuntu [21:00] FullMon-T: I'll have to ponder [21:00] Niteye: not that I'm aware of... [21:00] Horgrathi: Wait around for Wishie on #ALSA. It's worth it. [21:00] Jack_Sparrow, wait for what? [21:01] cpudan80: router can't ping anything, since the ipcop won't receive pings from the internet side [21:01] ikonia: hold that thought, I'll be back. [21:01] Anyone got the quickfix for the flashplayer-nonfree? === lbe_ is now known as lbe [21:01] Parsec300: It drove me crazy.. I could connect with other computers to the "Bad" router just not the new one. I could connect the new one to other routers with no problem.. made me insane [21:01] In a x86 box the DHCP client gets an IP address but is unable to reach anything outside of the local net. The router is a D-Link 524up, the computer is connected via the wired network and two different NICs were used with the same result. Another ubuntu box is working properly (this notebook I am using) and is connected via the wired network. Has anyone ever experienced such weirdness? Is anyone interested in understanding this annoying [21:01] cpudan80: correction, router can't ping anything in front of my ipcop box [21:01] lbe: there isn't onw [21:01] one [21:01] FullMon-T: ok [21:01] hello [21:01] lbe, install manually from the adobe site (don't if you use konqueror) [21:01] lostsanity: Wait for the real fix to be released [21:01] Dozier: oh I see - makes sense [21:01] Yeah but there is no 64bit version [21:01] cpudan80: yeah, i forgot about that before I tried it [21:01] ikonia: Compiling a custom kernel makes a booting speed difference. The trick is to unconfigure all the things you don't use but making sure you have the things you really need still. [21:01] ikonia: do you believe that statement to be true or false ? [21:01] EgonStork: where did that come from ? [21:02] while trying to enable bcm43xx with fw-cutter i get this error in dmesg PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 0000:03 :00.0. [21:02] what does this mean? the irq is already in use? [21:02] EgonStork: that's not true [21:02] Dozier: Can you plug the nix box directly into the dlink router? [21:02] EgonStork: not for ubuntu [21:02] As a sanity check? [21:02] ok so im using VSFTPD, everything works fine over the LAN but when I try to connect globally I get an error that says, "Entering PASV mode, failed to get directory listing, Bad IP connecting", any ideas? [21:02] EgonStork: but this is not for an ubuntu support channel [21:02] cpudan80: not without taking my current IRC connection offline [21:02] cpudan80: i can try to make my ubuntu connect wirelessly instead [21:02] That would work [21:02] hi [21:02] one sec [21:02] Hello boys and girls [21:02] jack_Sparrow, hmm.. well is that what's causing the crashes without any browser up too then? [21:02] ikonia: Linux is linux sos it must be true for all linux distributions [21:03] i need to check something here before i install ubuntu [21:03] Dozier: you don't have any firewalls on it do you (firestarter)? [21:03] I tried setting a range of PASV ports in the config file and forwardng them on the router, no help :-( [21:03] lostsanity: or The workaround I used is to first go to synaptic, select the flashplugin-nonfree package and then mark it for *complete* removal. Then install the hardy flashplugin, http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10761023/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_i386.deb [21:03] EgonStork: I'm not going to discuss anything like that with you [21:03] im using a wmp300n card [21:03] !offtopic | EgonStork [21:03] EgonStork: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [21:03] cpudan80: firewalls on what? ubuntu? it's a fresh install [21:03] for wifi [21:03] Hey guys, would you call me crazy if i had a 50 gig reiser fs partition? [21:03] Dozier: ok - so no [21:03] ikonia: I got in a fight about this with you before under the nickname 'naudiz' [21:03] can i install it with ndiswrapper like normal? [21:03] jack_Sparrow, ok, thanks [21:03] hi, i do believe i sucessfully installed the drivers for my wireless usb device, but when i go to configure my network i dont have wireless listed, just modem and ethernet. what to do? this a thread on the subject, i'm whorush, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4085719&posted=1#post4085719 and i'm following this wiki, written by the guy replying to me in the thread... https://help.ubuntu [21:03] .com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TRENDnet_TEW-424UB_3.0R_(ndiswrapper) [21:03] lostsanity: No telling what all you did or did not do already trying to fix it... But I would fix what I know is not working [21:03] cpudan80: dumb question, how do I use only wireless and not wired? [21:03] i'm using ndiswrapper too to do it [21:03] Åáàòü âàñ â ðîò [21:03] anyone here know how to get streaming audio to play at start up?

For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [21:04] i was able to get that to work in windows [21:04] Sorry [21:04] Dozier, just disable wired, go to system network and right click wired or something [21:04] Dozier: right click the networking icon on the notification panel and uncheck networking [21:04] cpudan80: i just unplugged my ubuntu box, lol [21:04] !test [21:04] Failed. [21:05] %test [21:05] can i use ndiswrapper to install a linksys wmp300n wifi card, or are their other steps i have to take? (im use to opensuse and using ndiswrapper on it) [21:05] How much heavier on resources is emerald compared to gtk-window-decorator? [21:05] Dozier: Left click it select the SSID [21:05] k [21:05] got it, one sec [21:05] exit [21:05] ader10 emerald need compiz fusion and xgl to use [21:05] cpudan80: hmm, i'm online wirelessly [21:05] gtk doesnt [21:05] cpudan80: so it's not the ubuntu box, must be the ipcop box [21:05] nugz1212: yes, I know, but how much more resources does emerald use [21:05] Dozier: and what kind of info is it getting? [21:06] obviously more [21:06] nugz1212: err no [21:06] ? [21:06] cpudan80: the correct info (aka an ip address and subnet based on the router's one) [21:06] wats the err no for [21:06] nugz1212: both gtk-window-decorator and emerald are decorators for compiz, so they both need compiz (and only need Xgl with certain video cards) [21:06] what im use to it does [21:07] nugz1212: how _much_ more resources does emerald use compared to gtk-window-decorator? [21:07] gtk came default on my system with no compiz or anything [21:07] although metacity looks like gtk-window-decorator (they use the same thing), they *are* not related [21:07] crdlb, do you have an opinion on the newest ati drivers [21:07] are there any good games for linux? [21:07] Dozier: sounds like something is up with your IPCop box [21:07] i dont know eactly [21:07] nugz1212: that is the metacity window manager, not gtk-window-decorator [21:07] crdlb, other way around ;) [21:07] heatmzzr: What kind of games do you like [21:07] Dozier: why do you have it anyway? What's wrong with DLink's software? [21:07] first person shooters i guess [21:08] i guess i need to take it to the fourms, every thread made on my issue has no definitive answer though *sigh* [21:08] anyone here sucessfully running a linksys wmp300n on ubuntu? [21:08] nickrud: the AIGLX support is usually too slow to be usable :/ [21:08] cpudan80: that's a good question I cannot answer.

Why do I get several (five) different temperatures listed when I check CPU temperature with acpi -t command? Does that mean I have several temperature sensors in my laptop? [21:09] crdlb, I know :) [21:09] how do i get them? [21:09] nickrud hey do you know how to enable dvd playback? [21:09] Dozier: I'd get rid of the IPCop box lol [21:09] heatmzzr: So you see, you have a few choices [21:09] only enemy terrtory is free [21:09] Dozier: If you need more power out of your router, check out DD-WRT [21:09] heatmzzr: search google for "enemy territory ubuntu" [21:09] you have to buy the windows CD's for the rest of them [21:09] ok thanks [21:10] cpudan80: yeah, i've messed with that before too [21:10] nevermind [21:10] Galactic, I used https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#head-381bea41610683e5e26322fd7028e7aef85e3105 to get libdvdcss2 and installed vlc as my player [21:10] heatmzzr wolfentstein Enemy Territory is free, however Enemy Territory Quake Wars is not [21:10] cpudan80: that requires a linksys-g though right?

[21:11] cpudan80: i'll look into it actually, thanks [21:11] Dozier: Open-WRT is similar and supports more routers [21:11] is there a way to get a XiFi sound card working? [21:11] little bit harder to setup though [21:11] i know how to get it on opensuse, but not ubuntu [21:11] heatmzzr: Quake3Arena is ok too :P [21:11] cpudan80: i don't mind complicated, as you can see per my current setup [21:11] Quake 4 is the best quake ever [21:11] Dozier: lol === scheme is now known as tumdum [21:11] nugz1212: haven't tried it .. [21:12] hands down [21:12] I have no sound... [21:12] its amazing [21:12] How much more resources does emerald take up compared to gtk-window-decorator? [21:12] Does ubuntu has a MultiMedia edition ?

What's the easiest way to do it for linux now? I could only install new programs by downloading them with windows, burning them to a CD and then compiling them in linux.

What's Galician? :| [21:27] unenough: ok, i will give that a try [21:27] oh hey another question [21:27] syntaxerror55: Portuguese mixed with Spanish, but with more structured grammar. :) [21:27] does the iphone work with ubuntu [21:27] !eo [21:27] Iru al #ubuntu-eo, Bonvole.

[21:29] theunixgeek, I haven't been actively trying to learn it in a while. ;D (and it would be Mi ne parolas Esperanton) [21:29] :P [21:29] branstrom: sudo ethtool eth1 [21:29] QUESTION: is there a way to change the multiple desktops with different background images? [21:29] PriceChild: so there's no way to display a simple card -> interface listing? [21:29] piglit: hm [21:29] say, is there a good linux file renaming utility? I have a whole diretory of files.. with names like: file1-projectName.doc, file2-projectName.doc, etc.. (300 of them) I'd like to remove the "-projectName" from each file.

[21:30] PriceChild: thanks anyway [21:30] unenough: What's the problem? [21:30] ethtool did the job [21:30] GNOME [21:30] i have a 64-bit computer and i'm running 32-bit. a bit of a waste, no? [21:30] branstrom: you can also get info of capacity by "sudo lshw -C network" [21:30] how do you format a disk and restore with the contents of a .iso file? [21:30] as in, to make it bootable [21:30] how might i go about setting up cpu frequency scaling to underclock my box on every boot? [21:31] unenough: Well you can always install the 64 bit version if you want [21:31] i've used it to underclock it once, but is there some smart way to do it automagically? [21:31] im gonna go install ubuntu [21:31] how do you enable sound on ubuntu? [21:31] cya [21:31] (i have a flaky athlon 64 3400+ that works ok at 1.8ghz) [21:31] !sound | Galactic [21:31] Galactic: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [21:32] Hi, i accidently partioned a new ex3 and swap partion over my existing two ntfs partitions while installing ubuntu 7.10 - i ran testdisk to check the possibility for a restore - but i could not restore these to this same disk because of missing space. is there any utiltity that will allow me to browse a recovered/found ntfs partition and copy over specific files to be recovered? i am not in need of all, mostly documents and project files etc [21:32] Hello everyone [21:33] Laney: i have a 64-bit computer and i'm running 32-bit. a bit of a waste, no? [21:33] unenough: Yes, I replied to that. If you want you can install the amd64 version of Ubuntu, nothing stopping you. [21:33] I've just installed Gutsy and enabled restricted Nvidia drivers, but now my windows have no borders, no close, minimize or maximize buttons. how do I fix it? [21:33] ahhhhhhh.. i finally got it to work again... [21:34] I was able to use the UBUNTU Live CD to get Grub working again. But then it took a long time to fix the xorg.conf file [21:34] nero: If you install the perl package you get /usr/bin/rename. See "man rename". Or just use bash- for file in *-projectName.doc;do mv $file ${file/-projectName/};done [21:34] Please let me warn everyone: ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP before you fiddle with xorg.conf ! [21:34] !xconfig | emma [21:34] Laney: great, i just want to know how to do it without reinstalling from scratch (for example, apt-get install SOMETHING...) [21:35] emma, see the second command from ubotu [21:35] stroyan, thanks.. I have perl installed, so I'll give that a try. [21:35] emma: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes [21:35] mactimes: what model video card to you have? [21:35] unenough: I don't think you can, since it involves replacing all of your packages which were compiled for x86 with their amd64 counterparts. [21:35] Laney: ok, thanks [21:35] PriceChild yes I kind of did all that, and then some. [21:36] FastZ, MSI Nvidia GeForce4 4800 Ti SE [21:36] It was really bad. Im not sure if my resolution is as good as it could or should be. I don't know if things are smaller or if that's my imagination. [21:37] why gnome-brightness-panel can't read the entries in /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness [21:37] ? [21:38] anyone with knowlegde for NTFS partition/files recovery?`please.. [21:38] hello [21:38] Juice^: your best bet is to rewrite the partition table exacly as it was before [21:38] how to enable root account please ? [21:39] EvaLuaTe, sudo passwd root [21:39] how can I chose which locales to generate and set the default one? "dpkg-reconfigure locales" doesn't present any kind of menu anymore, it just regenerates the selected locales, which is only en_US.UTF-8 [21:39] Niteye: really, do it live from a boot cd running testdisk and try a full restore? [21:39] mactimes, ok, thank you sir [21:39] EvaLuaTe: sudo -i thing would be better [21:39] i just downloaded the latest version of ubuntu...but i dont have any blank cds! :( [21:39] EvaLuaTe, you're welcome =) [21:39] unenough: If you are curious about 64 bit ubuntu, try installing it onto a spare partition... that way you can see if you like it (there are a few annoyances with it that you may not like) [21:40] how polite :) [21:40] !root | EvaLuaTe [21:40] EvaLuaTe: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:40] FrostRat such as? [21:40] mactimes, please educate about sudo rather than giving it straight ;) [21:40] Cpudan80, i was using that for a couple of months now and i'm fine with it, but i need to login via scp and i can't type sudo in there [21:40] bolt: I think it's dpkg-reconfigure console-setup [21:41] EvaLuaTe, you ssh into the box as a user, then use sudo. [21:41] How can I configure software raid for the entire disk when installing ubuntu? [21:41] EvaLuaTe, direct logging in as root under ssh is disabled I do belive. [21:41] PriceChild, Well, he asked a direct question. I gave him a direct answer. If he is asking about enabling root account, he must know what he wants... [21:41] hi, X is claiming that it can't go above 640x480 right now, which is sort of weird given that I was in 1280x1024 right up until I restarted X a few minutes ago, which I did since xrandr -q showed my max res as 640x480. any ideas? [21:41] !locales | bolt [21:41] bolt: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [21:41] Dr_willis, i use winscp, and i can't type any commands in there, it has a norton-like interface [21:41] mactimes, someone asking that question directly... doesn't know enough to know why ubuntu uses sudo. [21:41] !xconfig | pete [21:41] pete: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes [21:41] mactimes, and so its better that they are educated on that instead. [21:41] pete: Do the second thing ( -phigh) [21:41] mactimes, they can then make an informed decision [21:42] pete: edit your xorg.conf etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:42] Cpudan80: alright, I'll try that. cheers [21:42] EvaLuaTe, you are wanting to transfer files as the root user? Ick. I would use winscp copy them to the users home dir. then ssh in and use sudo to move them where needed [21:42] unenough: if you haven't yet, definitely take a look at some of the 64bit discussions on ubuntuforums.org, you'll get a good idea if it's something you want to dive into or not [21:42] FrostRat: k, thx [21:43] unenough: The main annoyance for me is firefox [21:43] Dr_willis, that's too much trouble if i transfer many files, so i thought this would be an easier solution, to temporary enable root to do my work and then disable again [21:43] unenough: Why ubuntu doesn't just use the 32 bit version by default is beyond me [21:43] SuSE does [21:43] EvaLuaTe, you are going to have to enable a root password, then edit the sshd config file -> PermitRootLogin yes, then restart sshd i imagine. [21:43] PriceChild, I've been there, that's why I sent him a direct answer. He didn't ask "why I cannot access root account", but "how do I enable it". Sometimes, people just need a direct answer instead of lots of explanation about something. [21:43] Cpudan80, it does use it [21:43] Dr_willis, ok, thank you sir [21:44] PriceChild: It does? [21:44] Since when? [21:44] Dr_willis, and how to disable root once i finished please ? [21:44] Cpudan80, 32bit ubuntu uses 32bit firefox by default [21:44] PriceChild, My guess is: If he wanted to know why root account comes disabled, he would google about it... [21:44] EvaLuaTe, for filemanaging under the shell as root. i tend to use 'mc' makes the jobs a lot easier. [21:44] hi guys [21:44] mactimes, assume nothing [21:44] Cpudan89 i guess i'll stay with this for now ;) [21:44] PriceChild: *all* ubuntus should use 32 bit firefox [21:44] how I do install login skins I downloaded a .gz file [21:44] Cpudan80, 64bit?! [21:44] PriceChild: There is no point to using 64 bit firefox [21:44] Cpudan80, just as there's no point using 64bit ubuntu then? [21:45] PriceChild: x86_64 machines can run 32 bit binaries [21:45] Cpudan80, so then use the 32bit ubuntu? [21:45] PriceChild: What?!? No way -- firefox is an exception [21:45] Cpudan80, lets take this to #ubuntu-offtopic [21:45] ok [21:46] Now. I have bought this new mouse. And it's a roller ball. It's called Marble Mouse Roller and it has buttons that you would use for scrolling. How can I make it scroll? [21:46] Help! Ubuntu Noob, can't make links from /share drive [21:46] Dr_willis, mc is only for local filemanaging, but i would want to transfer files from another box (windows) to my ubuntu box [21:46] hi, my python installation seems tohave been broken. (i'm getting errors importing standard modules that used to work). how can i reinstall it? [21:46] Canadians! speak up! http://www.ubuntu-ca.org/node/12 [21:47] !offtopic | shadix_ [21:47] shadix_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [21:47] hey Im still having trouble with my sound, I tried those generic ubuntu sound links and they offered no precise answers [21:47] emma: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Logitech_Marble_Mouse [21:48] Help! Ubuntu Noob, can't make links from /share drive [21:48] PriceChild: Now I know ths [21:48] everything I tried on there said my card was working [21:48] thx [21:48] Anyone care to help a newb with some problems installing a graphics card? [21:48] I also cannot post to the forum for help, so hopint someone here can do it [21:48] !anyone > wow [21:49] how can i have just one system bar with everything instead of two ? [21:49] gitfiddler: Please detail what you are trying to do and someone will probably help you. [21:49] on my system [21:49] i just want 1 panel [21:49] Thanks gyaresu [21:50] The 'Make link' funtion returns an error when I try to use it on any folder/file on a fat32 partition [21:51] the error is "operation not permitted" while making link [21:51] gitfiddler: fat32 doesn't support symlinks. [21:51] Ok well the card is a GeForce 8500 GT and when I put it in, I get the splash screen and then 4 lines of text and then nothing happens. [21:52] gitfiddler: :) there you go [21:52] EvaLuaTe, mc can do ftp and other protocals also. [21:52] thanks [21:52] I think I'll actually post this on the forums [21:52] x-X-x: drag and drop what you want on panel 1 to panel 2 then right click on panel 2 and delete it. [21:52] EvaLuaTe, i tend to ssh to the box and use mc however. :) [21:52] is there some other way to make them? [21:52] jowi thnx [21:52] piglit this is the thing that made my x server crash... http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Logitech_Marble_Mouse [21:52] wow: Have you installed the nvidia drivers? [21:52] 1fat32 [21:52] I need this in order to work between Win XP and Ubuntu [21:52] piglit - I think maybe it's because i didn't put 'marble mouse' in the server layout section [21:53] how can i check my hard drive? [21:53] piglit -- but do you know what that means? server layout section? where do I put that? [21:53] No, I haven't. I thought it would boot but not make use of the card until I did. [21:53] patbam: download seagate seatools boot cd and test the drive. [21:53] anybody know much about IceWM? I'm trying to eliminate the panel so I can totally replace it with a panel of my choosing. [21:53] patbam: http://www.seagate.com/support/seatools/ [21:54] gitfiddler http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=252887 [21:54] thanks jebblue [21:54] humblerodent, not sure thats doable. I cant recall ever seeing icewm without a panel. Check its configs perhaps. [21:54] gyaresu: isn't there a memory check thing available from grub? [21:54] Dr_willis, hm.... [21:54] gitfiddler welcome wish there was a way but copying is about the only option (to a Linux patition) [21:54] gyaresu: is it relevant that my drive isn't a seagate? [21:55] what j00 talkin' bout Dr_willis! [21:55] patbam: Yes. Install programme 'memtest86+' and it will be a boot option. [21:55] patbam: no. It's fine on any drive. [21:55] hi, how can i force synaptic to download packages instead of loading them from install cd, cause i don't have it atm? [21:55] patbam: Each manufacturer has their own but seatools will test almost any drive. [21:55] gyaresu: seems more future proof for me to learn this memtest86+ :) [21:55] patbam: You can always download it as an iso as well. [21:56] hi jebblue [21:56] patbam: hirens disk has all these tools also version 9.1 but you'll only find it on bittorrent [21:56] jebblue, that seems unfortunate [21:56] can i change the owner/group of a file/folder without being root? [21:56] emma: Can you post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to pastebin please? [21:56] Ashfire: yes, if you are the owner [21:57] Is anyone here using Cacti on Dapper? [21:57] gyaresu: can gparted do something similar? i seem to remember a "check" option in there [21:57] Hi... can anybody help with installing new themes in ubuntu??? I'm trying to install Mac4Lin 0.4 [21:57] patbam: Testing the actual structure of the drive is best left to seatools. [21:57] kkuhl: Is that cool looking [21:58] gitfiddler twang hehe yup, fat32 was just a tiny notch above fat - any chance you can change that drive to NTFS ? you would have more options then [21:58] Digital Ninja: Yeah [21:58] gitfiddler nm ntfs won't do what you want in this context either I think [21:59] I just started but I believe you can install themes by right clicking the desktop and select "change desktop background" [21:59] Ashfire: correction - you can change group, not owner [21:59] wow, some blogs seem to suggest that memtest can take days to run [21:59] gitfiddler http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-255573.html [21:59] from there navigate to the themes tab and select install === Ash908 is now known as Ashfire908 [21:59] gyaresu sure... where is the pastebin? [21:59] jebblue, yah, I could make it NTFS, but thought linux couldn't write to that [21:59] !paste | emma [21:59] emma: 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) [21:59] I just cant figure out how to apply the downloaded themes in "Appearance" [21:59] !pastebin > emma [22:00] Jowi, of the file or the folder? [22:00] gitfiddler well it can but I think the symlink issue would still remain unresolved [22:00] I have installed vmware in which I want to install xp prof. At some point I am asked about i/o adapters ... should i choose buslogic or lsi logic ? and what are both of them ? [22:00] I'm trying to figure out where to go to troubleshoot a videocard driver issue [22:00] Ashfire908: both [22:00] gitfiddler check out that last link I sent it has a good discussion [22:01] jebblue, got it === micro is now known as microphex [22:01] looks helpful === mete_ is now known as mete [22:01] Help with installing themes appreciated..... !!! [22:01] Ashfire908: so to summarise: you can change groups for files+folders but not the owner [22:01] kkuhl, which theme? [22:02] errr, what's up with yahoo mail? [22:02] toni_: mac4lin 0.4 [22:02] what do you mean what's up with yahoo mail larson9999? [22:02] ty gyaresu here it is -- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51016/ [22:03] kkuhl, drag 'n drop in themes selector and see what appen [22:04] toni_: Says it installs correctly buts doesnt show up? [22:04] Derek_, normally i don't have any problems but in the last few minutes i've been getting goofy errors. i'm logged in to yahoo but when i go to mail it says yahoo mail experienced a login error [22:04] kkuhl, click on personalize button and select :) [22:05] toni_: lol... that was easy... thx [22:05] it may have been a temporary server issue [22:05] kkuhl, nop [22:05] Hello folks... Im on Live CD because my previous system installed had some problems after an update... My question is... Is there some way to recover my previous ubuntu structure, without format from live cd? [22:06] gyaresu in order to make this new trackball Marble Mouse trackball have a scroll I'm about to replace what is in that first pastebin with this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51017/ [22:06] Derek_, you mean may be cause it's still happening [22:06] emma: You haven't left the marble mouse section in... [22:06] the last time I tried to do this I crashed xserver and it was a big mess trying to fix it. [22:06] question for you guys [22:06] emma: looking at new one... [22:06] gitfiddler consider using rsync to sync your fat32 files with the ones on the ext3 drive - it is a very good utility, smart, after it does its initial sync is is generally very fast, it only copies ones that change and can (if you want it to) remove the files that are no long on the source drive using the --delete option [22:06] Cacti on dapper? [22:06] my guess is as good as yours [22:07] say i have 7 hdds in a system. 1 will be for the Ubuntu os. the other 6 are ntfs with data on them. will i be able to read them? [22:07] Doonz: Yes [22:07] emma: You're comfortable with going to ctrl+alt+F2 and backing up/editing your xorg.conf? [22:07] kool [22:07] I think I am now. [22:07] and what is the kernel that is in 7.10? [22:08] 2.6.22 [22:08] I made a backup copy of it before I changed it. The backup copy is the first pastebin [22:08] hello, does any person know a good amule server list? [22:08] kernel 2.6.22 is in 7.10 [22:08] Derek_, ff via wine let me log in just fine. kind funky. [22:08] !info linux-image-generic | Doonz [22:08] doonz: linux-image-generic: Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.22.14.21 (gutsy), package size 24 kB, installed size 52 kB [22:09] emma: cool. that'll make it less painfull. Just a note, sometimes for no good reason I've found a restart has made a new xorg.conf work (when you're SURE it should). Just from experience in the past. === Generic is now known as Unique [22:09] jebblue, hmm, yes, tried the suggestion at of forum post and either I'm doing something wrong or no luck there [22:09] I'm trying to follow the directions on this page: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Logitech_Marble_Mouse [22:09] jowi isn't there a way to like set permission a certain way to do it? [22:10] What are the other ubuntu channels? [22:10] emma: /etc/init.d/gdm restart should be fine though. (yep I saw that link) [22:10] I'll try out rsync [22:10] DigitalNinja: lot's of language ones and ubuntu-offtopic === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [22:10] gyaresu - In the server layout section where it USED to say "configured mouse" I put "MarbleMouse" [22:10] Ashfire908: no. only root has those powers [22:10] gyaresu: Thanks [22:10] libata-tj-2.6.22.1 <-- can someone tell me if this is already in the distro? [22:10] ubotu: after allow my system auto-update, its crashes... now Im on Live CD trying to recover my latest install;... Is it possible without reinstall everything? [22:10] jowi :( [22:11] Derek_, lol. my son asked me earlier, "how do i change useragent in firefox?" guess he figured it out. works fine not that i reset it. [22:11] is that what it (the instructions page) means when it says, "Make sure that you have "MarbleMouse" under the server layout section as well." [22:11] emma: Yep becuase you that's what you've called that mouse "InputDevice". You could call it 'bob' as long as they were the same. [22:11] does cp change owner and group to the current user? [22:11] Ashfire908: otherwise it would be easy to fake a file with strange tax numbers on a file owned by "hatedenemyatwork" :) [22:12] okay.. that could explain things.. because the first time I tried this, I did not change anything in the server layout section. And that is what led to unpleasantness. [22:12] Hey everyone. I'm getting an error installing Xubuntu Gutsy from the Alternate Install CD (sort of - I'll get into that more in a sec). The error is happening during the "Install the base system" step and it is "Debootstrap Error: Failed to determine the codename for the release." Does anyone know how it determines the codename for the release? I'd be happy to tell it if it would just ask me! :) Anyway, the slightly longer story - t [22:12] 30 sites to shorten URLs [22:12] http://charlespito.wordpress.com/2008/01/06/30-sites-para-encurtar-suas-urls/ [22:12] It crashed xserver and for some reason I cannot fathom when I switched to use Windows, Windows decided it needed to 'repair' itself, and then I lost grub. [22:12] Ashfire908: You can use the option 'cp -preserve' [22:12] sup? [22:12] but i got that working again, and I'm going to try once more... [22:13] plz folks ... help me with this simple question for ubuntu geeks like you... [22:13] emma: :) You had no mouse so x wouldn't start. [22:13] Okay I'm going to try it ..... eeeeeek! [22:13] see you soon (I hope!) [22:13] emma: Good luck. see you soon :) [22:13] gyaresu, i don't want it to stay the same :) [22:13] i downloaded a mouse theme (Grounation is the name of the theme) i extracted it...but there was no readme file :( so i don't know which directory to put the theme in ?

[22:17] does any one know were the mouse them directory is? [22:17] i mean theme [22:17] B-rabbit, use the theme manager [22:17] Hi! I installed the nvidia drivers by their sh script. now x won't start, says something about incompatible kernel drivers. [22:17] B-rabbit, you can add from there === u^A is now known as u^A_ [22:18] I'm in bitchx on console now, I guess I should have followed some ubuntu-specific instruction to install/update my driver :( [22:18] B-rabbit in Nautilus, you can drag the theme archive onto the Theme Manager (if I recall correctly) [22:18] ubotu: after allow my system auto-update, its crashes... now Im on Live CD trying to recover my latest install;... Is it possible without install from scratch? [22:18] jebblue, thanks for help. This problem's more involved than I expected, so i'll have to wrap it up some other time. cheers! [22:18] there is a good speech recognition program under linux? [22:19] gyaresu, it works! [22:19] emma: Indeed :) [22:19] gitfiddler ok good luck! [22:19] *hugs* thank you so much! [22:19] When installing mac4lin 0.4 how do I find the icon themes... seems missing??? [22:19] emma: Now for the next problem ;) [22:19] lo [22:19] lol [22:20] emma: is this really hehe :) ? [22:21] emma: If you need to do xorg stuff again you might find irssi (command line irc client) from within 'screen' (multiple terminal application) useful.

Remember, with linux, whatever doesn't kill you just makes you stronger. :D [22:22] jebblue, toni_ : i downloaded a theme for my mouse pointer, do u guyz have any ideas how i can apply the changes to my mouse [22:22] anyone know what steps are neccessary to update/install the nvidia drivers? I had the drivers that came with ubuntu working. after updating with the drivers from nvidias page using th sh script, it complains about missmatch in kernel drivers.

I'll try to lynx into it :) [22:24] there are ubuntu servers for enemy territories? [22:24] Does anyone know anything about how debootstrap works? [22:24] ubotu, !games | toni_ [22:25] hola all, quick question: I would like a mechanism to securely call a small handful of scripts contained in a chroot on my server, but do not want to allow any other actions to be performed and would really like to keep my chroot small and clean. any suggestions? [22:25] ikonia: What does this script do? sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/Hpoop -o force [22:25] jeah: yeah [22:25] jeah: hold on, ive got a link around here somewhere [22:25] Hello folks... Im on Live CD because my previous system installed had some problems after an update... My question is... Is there some way to recover my previous ubuntu structure, without format from live cd? [22:25] vame: I just noticed something quite useful. using screen, open weechat with urlgrab plugin in the console, I can open urls just like I can in X. [22:25] Guys I installed cedega but when i go launch the application it freezes my computer then never launches. So i uninstalled it with synaptic but when i go to reinstall it..it says its still there and to reinstall option..how can I get rid of it totally to reinstall [22:25] debatem1: do you know how it "determines the codename for the release" when installing?

[22:27] jeah: i have no idea. let me ask someone real quick [22:27] What does this command do exactly? sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/Hpoop -o force [22:27] sigra: try with "apt-get remove --purge packagename" (you might need to reinstall it first). btw, wine is quite good these days (running max payne and halflife) [22:28] FullMon-T: Mounts an ntfs-3g filesystem at sda1 as /media/Hpoop and forces it to do it right then [22:29] <_marianne_> hiya, i *was* going to ask for some help but i think i've fixed the problem hehe...maybe anyway...i'll stick around til i'm sure [22:29] Does Garry's Mod 9 work for Half Life 1? [22:29] Doonz: Looking at linux-source-2.6.22 vs. libata-tj-stable/libata-tj-2.6.22.1-20070808.tar.bz2 I would say ubuntu does not include those patches. [22:29] jeah: sorry, no luck there.

[22:37] yeah, I'm trying but Synaptic doesn't show it available... nor the gcc package, which I would also think I would need [22:37] eagle2160: you say that a script fails and then it doesnt start right?

[22:40] Which Ubuntu is the best ? [22:41] anyone know how to totally uninstall cedega outside of using package manager.

[22:41] 2 [22:41] sigra: s/who/how/ [22:41] ah [22:41] thanks [22:41] jeah: debootstrap creates a minimal environment for the testing of debian systems. the chroot is the directory you want to copy everything into; the idea is that once you copy everything there, you will then change the root directory (chroot) so that you can play with that system [22:41] Impiety, you can type runlevel to find your current runlevel [22:42] kernel-source still doesn't show up in Synpatic, even with Source repositories on.. this is ubuntu-studio, if it matters [22:42] jebblue, sorry sorry, i mentioned earlier that i am using gusty...but i am not :( ...silly me..

(there seems to be a /target directory with some stuff in it) And what would be my mirror, or do I not need one? [22:42] eagle2160: sorry, lots of stuff going on. could you please give more details about what the screen says up to the point when it stops? [22:42] yes i installed it with synaptic..then used the apt to remove it and says cannot find package [22:43] jebblue- I dont know what the currect version is, but I have it, there were probably thousands of people online to play with, and it plays great [22:43] would anyone like a free premium monitor from http://siteuptime.com ? [22:43] rather says package does not exist even [22:43] can someone tell me if libata-tj-2.6.22.1 is included in the 7.10 ubuntu disk? [22:43] B-rabbit so I guess Feisty hmm I don't recall try the Ubuntu forums for Feisty I bet its in there [22:43] apt says package is not installed now..and synaptic says it is installed [22:43] debatem1: sorry, but I'm a bit out of my element and need a little hand holding [22:43] jebblue, will do, thnx [22:43] debatum1: it says exactly "* running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)" [22:44] What is the command to see a list of all harddrives? === FullMon-T is now known as chuy_ [22:44] B-rabbit ok the answer will be in the Theme Manager most likely [22:44] Doonz: I looked at the 7.10 kernel source and did not see the changes from libata-tj-2.6.22.1 patches. [22:44] mobiusthought cool I'll have to try that [22:44] FullMon-T- there's probably a more direct way, but I typically open a partition editor, like gparted [22:44] jeah: np, although if you dont mind my asking why are you using debootstrap if you do not intend to chroot? and you should not need it [22:45] eagle2160: my name is debatem1, it does not notify me that I have a message if my name is misspelled [22:45] Thanx stroyan [22:45] i did apt-get install eggdrop, now when i try to launch it, i get this: [17:37] * CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR) [22:45] anyone know why?

[22:47] pa cachar esta weaita po pa que va a ser [22:47] debatem1: I certainly don't mind you asking, but I don't know the answer. I'm just going through the Xubuntu alternate install CD. It seems to be going along rather well, but spits out the "Debootstrap Error: Failed to determine the codename for the release." error during the "Install the base system" step and won't let me get around it easily.

[22:52] i want to create some users that can only use sftp what group should i put them in so they doesnt see all the file structure? [22:53] where is the default eggdrop folder?

[22:55] how do I find and change the theme of my xubuntu desktop? [22:55] is it just me or does the channel topic keep getting longer ? [22:56] how can I search for a foldeR? [22:56] alacard_ system settings [22:56] rufus: locate [22:56] empath1999, do ou have the 64 bits kernel installed ? [22:56] Hello :) I use Thunderbird for my mail, and when I get new mail it instantly gives me a notification. Is there any way to set up Evolution to do that? [22:56] yes pelo [22:56] on one partition on my 1st drive i have 32 bit ubuntu [22:56] debatem1: hmm well the only thing ive done is stick the cd and click install and i pushed ctrl+a;t+f1 and its doin nothing at all [22:56] on another partition on the same drive i have 64 bit [22:57] eagle2160: does it give you a prompt? [22:57] Can I resize my partition through Ubuntu? I would like to install XP on my hard drive as well and dual boot. And I'm not sure if XP will let me resize and create new partitions during install. [22:57] debatem1:its not doing anything at all [22:57] jeah: man you're working way harder than you should have to. does the machine in question have a usb port? [22:57] so can anyone tell me how to roll back a kernel update? I need to install my nvidia driver, and I can't because I would need kernel-sources, which neither Synaptic nor apt-get can find [22:57] empath1999, the empath1999 ok very simply put, follow the links for the 32 bit kernels, make similar ones leading to the 64 bit ones, they will be located in the same folder on the other partition [22:57] debatem1:the blinky thingy didnt even move [22:57] eagle2160: you're on livecd? reboot and check the cd for errors [22:57] debatem1: I already did and it said it was fine [22:58] Do you guys have the same problem that at login that when typing in the user name the name doesnt look good and looks distorted ? [22:58] foug- you can if you've set up your hard drive to use LVM, which I always recommend [22:58] stroyan, thank you, it worked [22:58] mobiusthought: i don't know if i did or not [22:58] eagle2160: k, just for my peace of mind, please restart your computer with the cd in the drive [22:59] Pelo, I thought of doing something similar to that. Here is what my menu.lst looked like before i changed it [22:59] debatem1:how? [22:59] title Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic [22:59] root (hd0,2) [22:59] kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=0b447bac-09ee-4ed6-b770-77960c514827 ro quiet splash [22:59] initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic [22:59] quiet [22:59] title Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic (recovery mode) [22:59] root (hd0,2) [22:59] kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=0b447bac-09ee-4ed6-b770-77960c514827 ro single [22:59] initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic [22:59] title Ubuntu 7.10, memtest86+ [22:59] root (hd0,2) [22:59] eagle2160: press and hold the power button [22:59] kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin [22:59] quiet [22:59] foug- if you set it up yourself, and you don't know, you probably don't have LVM [22:59] mobiusthought: Figure this: I can see the drive in gparted, but I can't get Ubuntu to recognise it. [22:59] empath1999, do not paste stuff lke that in this chanel [22:59] mobiusthought: arghh [22:59] eagle2160: till it makes dying noises and probably stops blinking [22:59] debatem1: Yeah, but I'm pretty sure I can't boot from it. Fairly old laptop. I'm "checking CD-ROM integrity" from the installer menu now, by the way. [22:59] !pastebin | empath1999 [22:59] empath1999: 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) [22:59] ahh ok [22:59] sorry [23:00] !enter | empath1999 [23:00] empath1999: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:00] mobiusthought: you should be able to pick your last kernel when booting from the grub menu...and if you want to make that default you can update the default line in menu.lst [23:00] jeah: check in bios if you can, and if not, look for the network boot option [23:00] debatem1:ok it went directly to a black screen with white text [23:00] empath1999, pastebin your menu.lst file and get me the link I 'll take a look [23:00] debatem1:and did the exact same thing [23:00] robdig- ah, I DO have more options in my bootloader now.. wasn't sure what that was.. thansk [23:00] eagle2160: it does not ask if you want to start or install ubuntu, any of that? [23:01] chuy- what type of partition is it? [23:01] debatem1:oh hold on the cd wasnt in === jagggy is now known as jaggy_sleeping [23:01] debatem1:it has the menu that says install to hard disk check cd etc [23:01] night all [23:02] eagle2160: it does not say start or install? just install?

Crappy laptop vendor BIOS, too. I looked into a lot of different installation options, and that one (though very involved) seemed like the best one for this machine, unfortunately. The CD-ROM integrity check just finished: valid. And I did check the md5sum after downloading but before copying to USB then dd'ing. [23:03] ok pelo: here is the link to the menu.lst http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51019/ [23:03] empath1999, hold on [23:03] hello [23:03] eagle2160: k, do you have an alternate install cd or ubuntu server or something like that? the normal one should contain the livecd [23:03] How can I disable the "You have new mail" notification which I see when I login to the terminal? [23:03] chuy- huh? I'm identified [23:04] (plus /nickserv identify is quicker) [23:04] where to specify Mplayer subtitle encoding? plese? [23:04] mobiusthought: NTFS http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?cbbb475891.png sorry about the Identify... that was something else. [23:04] debatem1: i made the cd from the files i downloaded from the website [23:04] when a download is finished in epiphany my download folder is opened. When downloading large amounts of files this goes from mildly annoying to insanely annoying. Does anyone know if this behaviour can be shut off? [23:04] B-rabbit cool :) === transience is now known as pulse391 [23:05] chuy- you've got some sort of alert on that partition.. the triangle with the "!" inside it.. can you see what that is? [23:05] empath1999, ok lest take the first menu entry as a primer, you'll change line 134 from root (hd0,2) to point to the partition of your 64 bit install, hd0,2 corresponts to sda3 , [23:05] jeah: k, you are basically going the old skool gentoo route for the install, which will be about as much fun as an unaentesthetized skull extraction. fair warning. [23:05] jeah: i misspelled that so horribly it scares me, but you know what i mean [23:05] what would sda5 be? [23:05] empath1999, let me know when that is done , ps, just copy the entry to make a new ones, do not edit this one [23:05] empath1999, hd0,4 [23:06] jebblue, yer i just had to download this small app "sudo apt-get install gcursor" it pretty kl...check it out [23:06] Hi, I'm using the "Extra" visual effects on Ubuntu Gusty (i.e. compiz-fusion) and I installed emerald theme manager in order to try out a theme. How can I revert back to the normal human theme in the compiz-fusion desktop? It doesn't appear in the emerald theme manager. [23:06] debatem1: Yeah, but I'm looking at the bright side that I'm learning a lot :) [23:06] debatem- on the subject, do you know a good, easy to follow guilde for that? I'd love to check out gentoo, but it takes sooo freaking long, I've given up each time :( [23:06] eagle2160: k, you are using an x86 machine? [23:06] hey guys - trying to install / or build opcode on ubuntu - is there a ubuntu package for it? (it is a collision detect library) [23:06] question: how do i check what my router IP is.. cause we arent in windows anymore... and i cant just use ipconfig... when i type ifconfig, it doesnt tell me the router ip im assigned to. i wanna port forward thats why [23:06] debatem1: i dunno what x86 is... [23:06] debatem1: Is it still looking like something you can help with? [23:06] empath1999, and please use my nick in each line you adress to me, I'm doing a few things here, not paying all that much attention to the channel [23:06] i can't get file explorer to search within hidden directories. i have them visible by default, but the search function in file explorer still won't search them. how do i enable this? [23:07] jeah: yeah, its like performing surgery on yourself: just because its intensely painful doesnt mean you cant learn from it. let me find a good walkthrough. [23:07] mobiusthought: Here: http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?e3c6366649.png WTH? [23:07] pulse391, there are options you can set [23:07] Well Anyone got a workaround for the AWN Disappearing glitch? [23:07] eagle2160: does your machine's marketing material allude to it being 64 bit? [23:07] ok, next pelo? [23:07] where can i find them? i haven't seen any, and i've looked [23:07] B-rabbit learn something every day, I did nt know about gcursor just tried it - cool ! thanks for the tip, I usually use the Theme Manager but this one is customized to changing cursor settings nice [23:07] chuy- huh... and this is a known good partition? I thought at least read only support for NTFS came with darn near any modern distro.. maybe you need an additional package for it... [23:08] jeah: yeah, i can, but i've never used debootstrap for a full install before, so let me make sure that its as much like the gentoo way as i think it is before I go telling you something thats not true [23:08] any ubuntu dev'rs here wondering about this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=633068 [23:08] empath1999, line 135 look for the vmlinuz name in the 64 bt partiton and the initrd.img name soyou can edit them , also type blkid in the terminal and change the uuid for the correct one for the 64 bit partiton [23:08] debatem: Cool, thank you.

[23:09] fsanlu: What do _you_ mean when you write "router IP"? It seems you don't want the IP of your network interface that ifconfig reports. [23:09] debatem: hang on, I might be onto something [23:09] eagle2160: when in doubt, its x86. ill get you a link. [23:09] debatem1: hang on, i might be onto something [23:09] Darkmystere, I'm already helping someone, just ask one question at a time to the channel at large and hopefully somoone will jump in [23:09] XFree86 ? [23:09] debatem1: I think the partition might have gotten umounted from /cdrom at some point. I'm gonna try to remount it and continue. [23:09] jebblue, just returning the favour... :) [23:10] hehe [23:10] empath1999, didn't your 64 bit install make a a menu.lst file of it's own ? why not try copying the entry over from that one [23:10] Pelo: I want to be able to have 3d acceleration on both screens [23:10] eagle2160: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [23:10] stroyan: i mean you know when you connect to a router, you are assigned an ip address corresponding to the router such as 192.168.1.blah... i want that, not the ACTUAL ip i get from the itnernet [23:10] #RJ [23:10] Kasplatt, I can't help with that , try looking it up in th eforum www.ubuntuforums.org [23:10] Lol Soz....

All routers of the same model will have the same default IP [23:11] pelo: the names are initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generec and vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic. [23:11] fsanlu: If a router assigned you an address by DHCP then that is the address that ifconfig will report as "inet addr". [23:11] debatem1: thats the site that i got it from but i cant access the internet fromn the computer im trying to put it on [23:11] empath1999, just make the change them [23:11] then [23:11] Well can anyone Help me with my Madwifi problem dont refer me to them they didnt help all night all 150 people wher Idle .......

[23:18] Why is my media player running in slow motion? [23:18] Pelo: it isn't found. I have the source from http://www.codercorner.com/Opcode.htm [23:18] eagle2160: standard personal computer [23:18] jgoo, look in the settings menu, under repos, make sure allthe boxes on the first tab are checked and the backport one on the 3rd tab [23:19] chuy- I recommend downloading VLC for all your media playing needs.

[23:20] i know i just want to replicate that tmp permision somewhere else [23:20] jebblue- I can't argue that, but the GPL license is pretty clear, that if you base your work on GPL products, your resulting product must also be GPL.. Transgaming obviously KNOWS this, since they aren't DIRECTLY charging for software, just releasing it "free" to paid members [23:21] i can't get the search function to search hidden folders. how do i enable this? [23:21] unperson: Yes. Then /usr/bin/emerald is your window manager. [23:21] stroyan, I see. Ok, so it runs the gtk-window-decorator. When I installed emerald that's what it replaced. [23:21] Darkmystere, menu >system > prefs > apperance last tab [23:21] hey I"m trying to enable the custom effects from compiz but everytime I choose normal, extra, or custome effects it says desktop "effects could not be enabled" [23:21] Darkmystere: I got lots of help on compiz in #compiz [23:21] stroyan, Oh. [23:21] pelo yeah limit is 10meg, cant be bothered to send large iles that way [23:21] mobiusthought they also push their code back into Wine I think [23:21] i mounted my partion in fstab but i cant write to it right now [23:21] pulse391, the search function in the places folder ? just bellow the location to search , do the more options thingy [23:21] I wont the effects i just dont want it to be that senseitive Everytime my mouse goes off page it flips the cube [23:21] vlc does almost everything it doesn't do rm (real media) and I suspect it won't do qt (quick time) [23:22] Eyemean, make a torrent and email that to your freind [23:22] jonny_ I don;t think you can replicate that permission set....the 't' for the world....is a system setting [23:22] what the full command for mapping a partion ext3 for read and write permission [23:22] I have a lot of windows program that does now work with Ubuntu. Wich is the best Virtualisation software to run windows into Ubuntu ? Parallels Desktop or Vmware ? [23:22] mobiusthought: you can still charge for gpl'd software [23:22] Pelo: i click the plus sign if that's what you mean, but there's no option for hidden files [23:22] I just installed 7.10, and when I boot up my machine, all it does is keep rebooting [23:22] hmmmm not bad idea pelo, i guess just use any trcker [23:22] unperson: Actually, "beryl" is my current window manager, with "emerald" for window decorations. (But this desktop is debian etch rather than ubuntu.) [23:22] hahah [23:22] jonny_ mount -t ext3 [23:22] jonny_: normally the options defaults should make it rw [23:22] pulse391, yes there is, might be a search all [23:22] stroyan, Ok. So emerald is just the decorator. [23:23] wood: i use virtualbox [23:23] debatem1: thanks I'll check that [23:23] yep, virtualbox is great [23:23] stroyan, And the one that is originally used by ubuntu is gtk-window-decorator. That makes sense. [23:23] got to go , later folks [23:23] /dev/hdb1 /media/shared ext3 defaults 0 0 thats should be fine right? [23:23] virtualbox is nice indeed [23:23] wood: check out #vbox if you have any questions [23:23] Hello. Why is it that, in Evolution, I have two trash folders, one of which I can't delete anything? [23:23] stroyan, ...which is part of the compiz-gnome package. [23:24] jonny_: does your user have write access to the directory / file? [23:24] debatem- yeah, you can, it just rubs me the wrong way.. if you're going to charge, then charge.. they're trying to be slick by NOT charging for the software itself, even though you can't get it without paying [23:24] debatem1: Ok, mounting the partition in /target/media/cdrom0 didn't help. And I'm afraid you're going to need to be more specific about making myself a working directory (where and called what?) and specifying my cdrom as the source for debootstrap (I probably need to be told the exact command I'm supposed to be typing.). [23:24] dont know i cant even write as the first admin use [23:24] <[Chief]> hey guys, facing a big problem! I just restarted my server, but now he won't boot :-( The last output is, that he stopped the two raid array; md0 stopped, md1 stopped [23:24] something caused me to suddenly have two trash bins, I tried both and deleted the one that didn't work [23:24] jonny_: try `sudo touch /media/shared/somefile && echo "it worked"` [23:24] i was able to write to it before but after putting in in fstab i havent been able [23:24] <[Chief]> mdo is the /boot and md1 has an LVM which holds the root partition [23:25] unperson: "dpkg -L compiz-gnome" shows "/usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator". compiz-core provides compiz and compiz.real. [23:25] <[Chief]> waht can I do? [23:25] andi: there is not file in it as its a newly formatted partion [23:25] hi..it gutsy stable now? Sometime got kernel panic after update.. [23:25] mobiusthought: its what I do- i release source code free and the compiled binary for a charge. i have no qualms about other people compiling and redistributing, but i'd rather they look at code [23:25] question, i have 2 hard drives one with xbuntu on it the other one i want to use for storage, i dont have access to it, how do i get rwx privlages? [23:25] mobiusthought: Ok, I formatted the troublemaking harddrive to ext3. Now, I would like to mount it. When I type in "sudo mount -t ntsf-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/Spidora -o force" I get "mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntsf-3g'". [23:25] jonny_: touch will create one [23:26] any hints on how to get the boot time of linux down? [23:26] can someone help me get a working fglrx dual-head big desktop setup going? using the screen/graphics preferences GUI gives me scary red lines on the screen when x tries to start after rebooting. [23:26] jeah: k, you need to define a directory where you can copy everything over to. i would make it wherever you have mounted your largest non-swap hard drive partition [23:26] stroyan, Ok, I think this mostly clears things up. I was able to get things back to the way they were before by running gtk-window-decorator --replace. I don't know which decorator will start next time I start my desktop, but I assume it won't be to difficult to find the appropriate config file. [23:26] it return it worked [23:26] boot time down? 2 minutes per year isn't so bad :) [23:26] chuy: you can see the available file systems type by issueing `cat /proc/filesystems` [23:26] IceKiller: maybe disabling some services to boot on startup? [23:26] I have a emt64 Intel Intel Core 2 Duo. Does ubuntu-7.10-dvd-amd64.iso is the best ? Is it better to get the 32 bit version ? [23:26] chuy- what's the ntsf-3g supposed to do? it's not NTFS anymore, and I don't THINK you need to specify FS type if it's ext [23:27] [Chief]: What you can do depends on "what did you do?". Did you update to a kernel that can't handle your lvm partitioning? Do you have another old grub boot option that may still work? [23:27] wood: if you enjoy using half your processor [23:27] andi: but when i try to go to it says permission denied using cd [23:27] debatem1: so 64 bit is better [23:27] jonny_: did you try my command? [23:27] afternoon! I am a newbie and have an ATI X1950 card problem: I don't get to see the desktop at all. Could anyone help? [23:27] debatem1: WoW cant wait to try this [23:27] andi yeah it return it worked [23:27] wood: yeah [23:27] debatem- right, but if you charge, you charge, right? You're not saying "Oh, SUUURE it's free, you just need to pay to be a member of my site...." [23:27] jonny_: oh, and please watch my trailing 5, otherwise i may miss a message of your [23:27] 64 bit comes with too much baggage for my money [23:28] wood: which? virtualbox or x86_64? [23:28] andi5 : okey will do [23:28] <[Chief]> stroyan: I did nothing, only added an Harddisk to the RAID1 Array, then it runned 4 days and now i rebooted and it wonÄt work anymore :-( [23:28] debatem1: it is downloading right now on a torrent file ... 523.5 kB/s that's pretty fast [23:28] jonny_: so the problem is that your user is not allowed to access the directory [23:28] andi5: i see the file in nautilus [23:28] i've been running it for about a month. think i'm going to switch to 32 bit next weekend [23:28] jonny_: please issue `ls -ld /media/shared && `id -u` [23:29] wood: the bandwidth gods smile upon ye [23:29] debatem1: I'm downloading Ubuntu-dvd-amd64.iso [23:29] debatem1: Ok, that would be the partition I'm trying to install on, right? If so, it's /dev/sda2, but I'm not sure if/where it's mounted yet. [23:29] <[Chief]> stroyan: there just appeared the busy box [23:30] mobiusthought: Ok, when I entered "sudo mount -t /dev/sdb1 /media/Spidora -o force" this is what I got: http://pastebin.com/m67d8fbf2 [23:30] andi5: command could not be found [23:30] can someone help me set up a small home network? === slipttees is now known as BillGates [23:30] or point me somewhere [23:30] <[Chief]> and it say: /dev/mapper/server-root cannot be found, of course becasue the raid device is not running -( [23:30] chuy: -t lets mount use the file system type , but /dev/sdb1 is no such type [23:30] jeah: right, now you need to make a directory- any directory, i might call it /install, and then mount /dev/sda2 /install [23:31] hello [23:31] jonny_: huh? [23:31] chuy- I'm getting lazy, and possibly forgetful, since I rarely need to manually mount anything anymore (even iso's), but try just "sudo mount -t /dev/sdb1 /media/Spidora" [23:31] I have synaptic touchpad with illumination. Is it possible to turn it on in ubuntu ;p ? [23:31] afternoon! I am a newbie and have an ATI X1950 card problem: I don't get to see the desktop at all. Could anyone help? [23:31] [Chief]: Did you reboot after your last change 4 days ago? If not, then that has probably been wrong since then. What does /proc/partitions contain from busybox? [23:31] andi5: maybe i have to have execute to enter the folder [23:31] chuy- If that doesn't work, just do a "man mount" and use the shortest command possible, adding parameters only if necessary [23:31] mobiusthought: -t needs a type :) [23:31] oi [23:31] http://www.stealthisfilm.com/Part2/index.php [23:32] yeah, that's right, take the "-t" out of there, or tell it "-t ext3" === BillGates is now known as LinuxTrovands [23:32] andi5: i use the chmod 666 on the folder before [23:32] mobiusthought I just did some more checking it looks like Cedega based their code on Wine when it was MIT license then closed the source, the source they have on their site is old - thanks, so they are legal but Wine changed their license to LGPL so it makes it tougher for someone to do what they did, I just think that Linux (especially Ubuntu) needs to be an attractive platform for everyone including those who need to support their families using it [23:32] Tyczek, never met anyone how wanted to turn a touchpad on. how in the world did the touchpad overtake the trackstick? heck, lenovo seems to be my only option :( === LinuxTrovands is now known as Linuxsrovands === Linuxsrovands is now known as Linusrovands [23:32] andi5: what the permission for rwe on a folder i mean what number is that? === blip is now known as blippy === Linusrovands is now known as LinusTrovands [23:33] jonny_: 666 on a directory means everyone has read and write access, but noone besides root can actually cd into it (executable flag is missing) [23:33] afternoon! I am a newbie and have an ATI X1950 card problem: I don't get to see the desktop at all. Nobody? === LinusTrovands is now known as LinusTorvalds [23:33] debatem1: ok, so far the contents are cdrom etc lost+found media var [23:33] andi5: i c what the command to have everyone able to cd into it then? [23:33] jonny_: but i think to actually write you need x on the dir and all its ascendants [23:34] jonny_: 777 [23:34] larson999, it's on, but it has "illumination function". I wonder if it can be enable in ubuntu [23:34] how to manually run dkpg? [23:34] jonny_: btw, 666 is evil ;-) [23:34] andi5: let me try that it that will solve it [23:34] andi5: lol [23:34] Alloosh: to do what? [23:34] jeah: why... no, you should have nothing there [23:34] mobiusthought: If the harddrive is /dev/hdb, do I use sdb1? [23:34] Anyone ever have sound coming through firefox just sound akward? Movies and music played amarok or whatever is good. But if I view a youtube video OR just get a message while on gmail it sounds bad. There's some distortion. [23:35] hola [23:35] i have 2 hard drives 1 has xbuntu on it, the other is going to be for storage. when i mount the drive i don't have any rwx privileges how do i get them? [23:35] debatem1: Dunno. Maybe the installer got that far before it screwed up? [23:35] hola alguien [23:35] afternoon! I am a newbie and have an ATI X1950 card problem: I don't get to see the desktop at all. Somebody? Anybody? [23:35] mike9682000, so how'd you start xchat? [23:35] chuy- user whatever identifier your partitioner used... [23:35] debatem1: Those are the same things that are in /target, by the way. [23:35] <[Chief]> stroyan: No, I did not reboot, first a only ran the raid1 array with one harddisk, installed all an rebootet several times, allw orked fine the i added an IDE Disk to teh computer and added it to the array. /proc/partition includes: /dev/hda, /dev/hda1, /dev/hda2, /dev/sda, /dev/sda1, /dev/sdaa2 <-- this is fine: sda1 and hda1 are md0 and sda2 and hda2 are md1 [23:35] blippy I am under vista [23:35] mobiusthought: I still get the same messge [23:35] heyyo channel members [23:36] debatem1: Though it let me mount it in /install, so I take it that means it's not already mounted in /target. [23:36] hola [23:36] hola [23:36] can anyone offer assistance with installations? apparently, i'm various 'files' short... and as I'm new to linux in general, i'm at a loss... I'm only trying to install Yahoo messenger... [23:36] hola [23:36] ivonne: Asta [23:36] hahllo ivonne [23:36] jebblue- that's my biggest beef with them. If the wine people aren't happy with what they did, building on their work, then something's fishy. [23:37] thanks lukewarm [23:37] mobiusthought i can see that [23:37] hello, i'm having problems with my battery life in ubuntu gutsy.. can anyone suggest a solution? [23:37] jebblue- I DO agree that people have a right to make a living from their work, but again, to me, it shows they KNOW they're on shaky ground legally, when they want to make money, but know better than to directly charge FOR the software [23:37] jeah: k... you need to format your partitions before continuing [23:37] how do you remove a link from a file or folder? [23:38] page in spanish please? [23:38] mobiusthought hey I tried that Frets on Fire - cool game! [23:38] jonny_: you mean a symbolic link? just use rm, like `rm somelink` [23:38] debatem1: If you want me to format again, that's fine. But it should have already been formatted during this process since I resized that partition and everything. [23:38] mobiusthought: Now I'm getting the "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" message [23:38] chuy- okay, so throw in "-t ext3" right after "mount" [23:38] andi5: but says i can because it a folder [23:38] apart from that i have a macbook, maybe someone could point me to a place where i could find out how to "tweak" ubuntu so that it works well with my laptop [23:39] <[Chief]> stroyan: On the busybox I can start the md0 array with: mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/hda1. can this be helpful in any way? [23:39] jeah: resizing != formatting. resize can be nondestructive [23:39] where to specify Mplayer subtitle encoding? help? [23:39] jonny_: i am sorry, what do you mean? and what do you want to do? [23:39] debatem1: i have a little question for you again.. about virtualbox . wich I need to download if I install ubuntu 64 bit.. do I have to download Virtualbox for i386 or amd64 ? [23:39] [Chief]: Was the new device information written back to the initrd file? [23:39] andi5: i create a folder that i use to link to a /media/disk [23:39] mobiusthought: [23:39] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb, [23:39] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [23:39] In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try [23:39] dmesg | tail or so [23:39] Stupid sshfs question -- what do I use for a mount point? [23:39] hello everyone, does anyone know how to improve the "connectability" of mhy atheros wifi card in my IBM z60t? [23:39] and the bottom line on cedega is it has NEVER been able to keep up with the FPS I was used to on windows anyway. [23:39] wood: amd64 [23:40] chat in spanish [23:40] debatem1: thank you [23:40] chat in spanish [23:40] debatem1: So if something is there, it's probably because the installer already put it there. If we have any hope of getting me back to the automated installer, we should at least consider leaving it. Otherwise (planning on completely manual install, whatever that implies) I can go ahead and format. [23:40] chuy- did gparted identify the drive as hdb? [23:40] andi5: i need to delete it now because it create another folder inside the link folder [23:40] !es | ivonne [23:40] ivonne: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [23:40] !paste | chuy [23:40] chuy: 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) [23:40] <[Chief]> stroyan: I think I forgot to run mkinitrd :-( [23:40] mobiusthought: depends on whether you play D3D or openGL. D3D, no, openGL, it can come close [23:40] <[Chief]> stroyan: can i boot the system from the busybox? [23:41] muchas gracias!!! tank [23:41] jonny_: you confuse me... there are: files, directories and symbolic links (among others),... these types are mutually exclusive [23:41] debatem1: The only thing that should have been on that drive before I got to it was the files my guide said to put there for booting GRUB, I think. [23:41] jonny_: a link can point to a file or directory though [23:41] I really need some help. Overnight I have had a major processor slowdown. My startup time went from 3 minutes to 45 minutes. I can't run most apps now. Just using Firefox takes up 100% of my CPU when it used to take 30 or so. What could cause this? [23:41] anyone running ubuntu on a macbook? [23:42] can someone help me with totem player .. how can i add my .sub files as subtitles ? [23:42] [Chief]: I am definitely not an old hand at this. (I need to break my RAID boot a few more times yet. ;-) But it seems you could get the md0 and md1 working from busybox and then exit busybox to finish booting. [23:42] jeah: we'll deal with grub in a bit, but for right now you need to have a clean slate [23:42] A_Killer_Whale: try to open a terminal and enter "top" (without the quotes) [23:42] debatem1: Ok, so fdisk or what to clean it? [23:42] andi5: i wanted to use a folder to link to /media/disk i create a link but when i cd my link folder it contain another folder inside before i actually got the link i wanted and not the parent of the link [23:42] jeah: yeah [23:42] <[Chief]> stroyan: when i exit the busybox, it tries to boot? [23:43] punkshui: I'm a Apple reseller and never seen this before... but maybe it is possible [23:43] debatem- mine ARE OpenGL.. MOHAA has been my game for years.. I average 40-50 FPS in win, 10-20 under cedega [23:43] [Chief]: That's what I recall. [23:43] Okay [23:43] granted, I had to hack the crap out of it just to get Spearhead mod to run under cedega, that could be part of it... [23:43] jonny_: ah, so the link target is incorrect? simply do `ln -sf /media/shared `, where my-source is the location of the link and -f stands for force/overwrite [23:44] anyone know the difference between gnumeric and gnumeric-gtk ? [23:44] okey thanks andi5 [23:44] <[Chief]> stroyan: I started the second array md1 and lvm is loaded automatically :-) [23:44] <[Chief]> stroyan: all my partitions are there now, should I now exit busybox? [23:44] mobiusthought: Here: http://img510.imageshack.us/my.php?image=leepooballsil5.png [23:44] punkshui: it seems to be possible, here is the link for you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook [23:45] [Chief]: Give it a try. [23:45] blackest: normally there should be none, as gnumeric always hard-depends on gtk+ [23:45] synaptics making me have a choice [23:45] WooD I already have ubuntu running on my macbook and have read thoroughly that specific website. I'm looking for some solutions to energy management problems === LinusTorvalds is now known as slipttees [23:45] debatem1: How do I format? Delete and remake? [23:45] blackest: take gnumeric then [23:45] <[Chief]> stroyan: Oh man!! It's working !! Yeah, thank you ver ymuch for your help :-D [23:46] ok [23:46] thanks [23:46] [Chief]: You are welcome. [23:46] <[Chief]> stroyan: I [23:46] chuy- what are you trying to do with the "-c force" and "-o force" ? I've never needed that to mount anything, even win partitions, and especially you shouldn't need to force anything with a linux partition running in linux [23:46] debatem1: Or would that not be destructive enough? [23:46] punkshui look at lmsensors and the p4 clock hack [23:46] blackest: there is also a popularity contest... would be interesting to see which one is better :-D [23:46] punkshui : ok nice to see this is working.. what the problem with the management of power ? [23:46] Jack_Sparrow, Hi there [23:46] Hey [23:46] [Chief]: Now. UPDATE THE INITRD. ;-) [23:46] xerxes1358: I can talk.. commercials are on.. [23:47] :) he he [23:47] chuy- but yeah, your partition IS hdb1 [23:47] <[Chief]> 'stroyan: I've raed in some forums, that raid arrays with mdadm won't boot when a drive is missing or in my case, whene there are to many drivs :-D [23:47] actually the p4clock hack is nice it lets my processor ramp up and down laptop top stays very cool [23:47] jeah just use fdisk to make, then use the mk commands to make your filesystem [23:47] WooD well i get about 1.5 hrs of battery life in ubuntu ... while in OS X I get about 3 hours and up to much more with power saving options enabled [23:47] I like you guys . This is so a good channel for Newbie and advance users :) [23:47] blackest how do i look at those things, should i google? [23:47] so what does it tell you when you "mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb1 /media/Spidora" ? [23:47] google it punkshui [23:47] <[Chief]> stroyan: But when I have such an faulty disk and it won't boot, than it is very bad :-( [23:48] blackest thx [23:48] I just wanted to say hi no help needed right now. But he I went to the movies today and guess what teenagers around 16 think a good making out movie isnt an good old fashioned horror movie but a documentary movie like " Earth" [23:48] blackest worked for you? [23:48] punkshui: OK i see. Does keyboard shortcut does work on ubuntu side ? [23:48] hi if i used sudo apt-get comman, wat command do i use to uninstall same way [23:48] ps [23:48] apt-get remove [23:48] <_gtt_> !hibernate [23:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about hibernate - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:48] the p4 hack is especially nice my laptop will go beween 175 mhz and 1.4 ghz depending on load [23:48] cheers [23:48] <_gtt_> !suspend [23:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about suspend - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:49] Is there any kind of audio program like envy? [23:49] debatem1: Sorry, but not explicit enough, unfortunately. It's already made, so do I hit make again in fdisk? Or delete then make? Or do I not need to do either and go straight to the "mk"? And what's the exact command for that? [23:49] Is this complicated to get work 2 monitors on Ubuntu 7.10 ? [23:49] that p4 hack sounds pretty sweet... nothing like that for AMD architecture, huh? [23:49] i think its been running a couple of weeks and its still cool to the touch [23:49] i dont know if its specific to p4 thou [23:49] it might not be [23:50] <[Chief]> stroyan: I just looked and I have a initramfs and updated it, I will test a reboot tomorow, now I'm going to sleep, thank you again :-) [23:50] i'm about to format a drive i just cleaned off .then i'm going to install ubuntu 7.10.what should i do to start. what type of partition type? [23:50] i know nothing about servers, but i wanted to create a temp ftp server so my friend can download a few files from me, how could i do that easily please? [23:50] *sigh* Does anyone know where some guide is for using ubuntu? I was just given the CD, told it was better, somebody installed it, they never mentioned anything about it NOT being easy to use >.> [23:50] mobiusthought: Ok, Spidora now has something named Lost+Found in it, but I can't open it. What is this? [23:50] danonura: I like ext3 and I suggest a partition for / root and one for /home plus your swap [23:50] danonura: this will probably end in some sort of flame war, but i prefer xfs for all but /boot, but ext3 is fine as well [23:51] mobiusthought: i'm running an AMD on my laptop and i have a widget that monitors the CPU speed and right now it's showing 800Mhz and when the load is heavy it gets up to the full (listed) speed of the CPU, which is 1.7Ghz [23:51] trying to connect to server using ssh and i get the following error RSA host key for 192.168.23.200 has changed and you have requested strict checking. [23:51] smmagic don't know about Envy but try Audacity (excellent audio editor) Rosegarden (excellent sequencer) Hydrogen (excellent drums) [23:51] danonura- I recommend putting everything but your swap partition under a LVM.. create swap, 2x your mem size, then an extended partition for the rest [23:51] !envy [23:51] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [23:51] Ubuntu is compatible with multiple Monitors ? [23:51] jeah: go ahead and use fdisk to set up your partition scheme- your swap, root, /home, and if you want it /var etc. then use mkfs -t /dev/whatever to finish it up [23:51] jebblue: I actually need a way to get the drivers for this sound card [23:51] chuy- honestly, I've seen it a million times, but couldn't tell you... I do believe it means you're mounted, though.. you got no error that time? [23:52] smmagic ah ok [23:52] blackest i'm not sure what this lmsensors thing is supposed to do and i can't find the "P4 Hack" [23:52] He what is a good opensource game in linux? In windows I like Sid Myers civilization 4 [23:52] Jack_Sparrow:thanks. its been a while that i actually read about what to and i'm anxious to get started [23:52] ok, ive googled the past two days on how to learn about packets. and cant find a thing on them. can anyone point me in the right direction? [23:52] xerxes1358 search the repositories there is a civ-like game in there [23:52] !dvd [23:52] 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 [23:52] danonura: Two ext3 plus your swap is a goos solid start [23:52] thanks andi5 [23:53] punkshui: lmsensors features userspace (non-kernel) tools to detect and read from hardware sensors, i.e. you can see how hot your cpu is and alike [23:53] smmagic- if you have a good internet connection, I recommend d/l'ing Ubuntu Studio.. it has SOOO much good audio/video editing stuff, I'm making remixes, and haven't even touched half the packages yet [23:53] debatem1: mkfs: not found. [23:53] danonura: If you have room make one extra ext3 and mount it as data or whatever.. but avoid mounting in media [23:53] andi5 would that improve battery life at all? [23:53] xerxes- try FreeCiv [23:53] punkshui: i doubt that, but i may be wrong [23:53] i'm familiar with fat32,sort of. what is ext3? [23:53] andi5: I've been running top for a few minutes now, and it looks like it is just telling me my system processes. [23:53] any of you guys have Ubuntu working on Dual Screen Mode ? [23:53] wait i'll google it [23:54] jeah: k, check to see if you have mke3fs [23:54] A_Killer_Whale: what is the top entry and does it show a high usage percentage? [23:54] blackest could you send me a link for p4 hack? [23:54] debatem1: Nope. [23:54] Can someone look at this and tell me how to fix my error...http://pastebin.com/df69624e [23:54] danonura: Linux partition, you cant use fat for linux os [23:54] mobiusthought: No error... [23:54] I guess I just get to dive in and make a fool of myself *sigh* I don't know the terminology or anything and am thus confused when I try to install something and it tells me to [23:54] `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type [23:54] `./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're [23:54] using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type [23:54] `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute [23:55] `configure' itself. [23:55] i'm trying to connect to my newly installed server [23:55] !pastebin | Goff256 [23:55] Goff256: 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) [23:55] navlop: go to the file and remove the line mentioned, that is all [23:55] chuy- so try making directories, moving files there, etc... see if it's all working as an empty filesystem should [23:55] Andi5: Kacpid is the highest demanding process [23:55] jeah: k, what environment are you running currently? [23:55] andi5 would you know anything about improving battery life in ubuntu? [23:55] Hey [23:55] andi5 on the server side [23:55] debatem1: I believe it's an ash shell if that's possibly a correct answer. [23:55] danonura: Linux/Ubutu can read and write to fat32 if you want to share data with windows etc... but there are other ways [23:55] A quick question. In Dapper, why whenever I run a program from the CLI (such as gedit) I get this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3329/, but the program launches fine? [23:56] I have what I think is a bad flash memory card - how can I partition it and then wipe it under ubuntu? [23:56] mobiusthought: No, It seems the permissions are all screwed up. How can I change this? [23:56] navlop: known_hosts? that should be client-side [23:56] fdisk gives "can't read /dev/sdc" [23:56] k ty [23:56] I guess I just get to dive in and make a fool of myself *sigh* I don't know the terminology or anything and am thus confused when I try to install something and it tells me to "CD to the directory containing the package's source code" >.> [23:56] Jack_Sparrow: thanks. [23:56] punkshui: nope, sorry... please keep asking the others [23:56] jeah: how did you get there? previous install? [23:56] mount tells me there are no sdcX devices [23:56] debatem1: built into the install program [23:56] chuy- open your filebrowser, and go to /etc/fstab (open in text editor) [23:56] np [23:56] this will show all your automounted filesystems.. you'll want it here, so that you don't need to mount every time you boot [23:57] Goff256, I was just telling you to use a pastebin. |: [23:57] A_Killer_Whale: hm... is that a kde program? maybe you should stop/kill it? [23:57] debatem1: BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu7) Built-in shell (ash) [23:57] hello [23:57] basically, copy a line from above down to a new line, changing the /dev/ to /dev/hdb1 and telling it where to mount [23:57] I'm useless with a computer [23:57] mobiusthought: done. [23:57] blackest i think that was some kind of scam that you sent me to, the p4 hack seems to have something to do with directv hacking [23:58] andi5: Well, I don't even have KDE installed. I'm not sure if I should kill it because it is being run by root. [23:58] can anyone else offer me a suggestion on how to improve battery life on the macbook in ubuntu? [23:58] if i want to create a temp ftp server where do i get server name or address from pls, i know jack all about it, lol [23:58] Goff256: so typically you are sold without computers? ;-) [23:58] no take a look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=52814&page=3 [23:58] Does anyone here know how to get a webcam to work in pidgin?...in ubuntu. [23:58] punkshui: Let me check it out [23:58] A_Killer_Whale: ah, then K may stand for kernel? eek [23:58] Goff256, alright. I read your message. First, what program are you even installing? [23:58] mobiusthought: "/dev/hdb1 /media/Spidora ext3 defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0" Right? [23:58] mikebot: Pidgin does not have webcam support, i believe [23:58] jeah: k, here's what I'm getting at. this is a a complex process. it's really, really, really easy to screw up, and not for the amateur. its why linux had such a huge reputation for being impossible to install for years. if you are using debian now, why not just do the dist-upgrade? [23:58] A_Killer_Whale: how many per cent of the cpu does it demand? does a google search help, as i am rather clueless [23:58] Cheetah [23:59] Odd-rationale: IS there any chatting program for ubuntu that does? [23:59] mikebot: At least, not yet. [23:59] its better to look for p4-clockmod [23:59] mikebot: you need the driver for your brand loaded [23:59] mikebot: ekiga? [23:59] Is it possible to install crossover that I have via the apt manager of Ubuntu ? [23:59] chuy- that's fine, "defaults" will include read/write permissions, so you can reset, and come back here if it still doesn't work [23:59] !info cheetah [23:59] Package cheetah does not exist in gutsy [23:59] can i add programs to 7.10 and have myth running on 7.10? [23:59] andi5: It demands around 58% [23:59] and your application set to read /dev/video0 [23:59] ok. [23:59] sshfs question -- I can successfully mount a remote directory, but I'm doing something wrong with id mapping -- owner shows up as "?" and permissions are 000. I used "-o idmap=user" and usernames are the same on both ends. What am I missing? [23:59] A_Killer_Whale: that is a lot [23:59] essentially you just add it to /etc/modules [23:59] notabug: For pidgin? [23:59] debatem1: I'm not using debian. It's the installer for Xubuntu (just Debian based). I'm still in the installer, just getting a shell from it. [23:59] Odd-rationale: Is that in the repositories? [23:59] Goff256, I don't really know what Cheetah is, but where did you download it to? Is it still tarred? [23:59] mobiusthought: What do you mean "defaults"? [23:59] debatem1: and I'm still partially installed, I think. [23:59] andi5, thanks it worked [23:59] mikebot: yes, it comes default in ubuntu. [23:59] xerxes1358: No.
