nickrudflyingfree: can't you boot into recovery mode? Hit return there and you get a root terminal (as long as you haven't set a root password, that is)01:14
kojirooh, that'll do it01:15
LjLkojiro: i told him before to boot with recovery mode or init=/bin/sh and then "adduser himself admin"... not sure if that didn't work for some reason01:15
flyingfreehow do I boot into recovery mode01:15
LjLflyingfree: you reach your GRUB menu and select recovery mode01:15
flyingfreesorry didn't catch that LjL01:15
nickrudflyingfree: boot, when you see something about grub hit escape, you'll see a menu. Chose the one with recovery in parentheses01:16
flyingfreeokay I'll give that a try and from there01:16
LjLflyingfree: the GRUB menu is the menu you see when you boot. if you don't see one, hit Esc right after the BIOS hands control to the bootloader, i.e. ... just keep hitting Esc until something happens ;)01:16
flyingfreeinit=/bin/sh and then adduser username admin?01:16
flyingfreeyup01:16
nickrudflyingfree: no, just run adduser usrername admin01:16
LjLflyingfree: no, init=/bin/sh is a kernel parameter, and an alternative to recovery mode. disregard it, recovery mode should do it find01:16

LjLflyingfree: if you need assistence while in recovery mode01:17
* nickrud doesn't feel like rebooting to find out01:17
LjLnickrud: yes01:17
KasplattLjL: it's messed up, every time I try to uninstall it it just copies new files over the existing ones...01:17
LjLnickrud: actually it's the reason why i originally suggested it to him -- i didn't know whether recovery mode also did. but it seems to, so01:17
nickrudLjL: no, recovery won't01:18
Bassman321So what do you think kojiro01:18
Bassman321Any solutions?01:18
ZaschAlso, I juts tried restoring Evolution's settings from a backup, but now the bars on the top and bottom of my screen just completely disappeared.01:18
LjLnickrud: ah but you mean that *if* a root password is set, recovery will bypass it, otherwise it'll ask for no password...?01:18
khaotiksudofrostwire01:18
nickrudLjL: I recently had to go in an muck with /etc/shadow, I set a root password while helping someone with a use case, then forgot the password. Then I set rootpw in /etc/sudoers. FUN!01:18
nickrudLjL: if root has a password, recovery mode (single user) asks for it01:19
LjLKasplatt: well i don't know really, if you didn't install it from a .deb package it depends entirely on its installer. you could possibly run it with checkinstall or strace to see which files it tries to create01:19
LjLand then remove manually01:19
LjLthat's far from ideal i guess01:19

Bassman321Convert it to a .gif01:20
nickrudName141: no, if you have vista use vista's partition resizer, otherwise ubuntu has a partition resizer. Backups are always wise, however01:20
KasplattXxXValeteXxX: only way I know is by using VLC player. if you want sound and stuff.01:21
LjLnickrud: well init=/bin/sh was always the standard way to just boot into a root console without further ado. oh one hand, it's useful if you've been foolish enough to set a root password and forget it ;)  on the other hand, it helps reminding that if one has physical access to a machine, there's nothing stopping them from logging in as root01:21
kojiroBassman321: ok, try this01:21
XxXValeteXxXBassman321, I can use gifs as wallpaper? O_o01:21

Jack_Sparrowmartin_: Use Terminal and type gconf-editor01:30
th0raszwet1 then yes, apache should be ok. There are only a few files in /var/www/apache2...3 gifs, 2 png, and index.html. If you need them I could probably get them to you01:30

Jack_Sparrowahz: Using rpm's you can use alien.. but I strongly suggest against it01:43
nickrudOqtol: you should consider putting them in /usr/local somewhere, I'm sure cpan has a suggestion for that.01:43
allobjectsSANTAbios: In a new tab enter 'about:plugins' without the quoted to see what version of the Showckwave Flash plugin is installed01:43

ubotuRPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)01:43

kojiroflyingfree: alright me! go me!01:44
LjLmatkix: and it's supposed to have an IP address? or get it from a DHCP server, or something?01:44
nickrudOqtol: if you want a later version, for a reason, that makes sense.01:44
ahzI suppose I can use alien to convert rpm to tarball01:44
matkixShould have an ip address...01:44

RenatoSilvaRenatoSilva: Does anyone got ltmodem working on an Agere?01:45
LjLahz, either will do fine. what Jack_Sparrow is saying is that blindly installing an RPM under Ubuntu is bound to lead to trouble... but if you know what you're doing and extract single files in /usr/local or /opt, you should be fine01:45
fallorei'm using dvd::rip and it's telling me i don't have xine. i'm trying to install it but synaptic-manager told me it wasn't for me i386 pc and a "sudo apt-get install xine" doesn't work. any ideas?01:45

Zloogfallore: what error does apt-get give you?01:46
allobjectsSANTAbios: that should bring up a page of all installed plugins in your firefox browser. Did that work ?01:46

RichWHi, I just installed about 164 updates and rebooted after first installation.. most applications exit with this error (Even gnome-terminal!): Bus error (core dumped)01:46

Kuroponnickrud, I got you opened in private window01:48
nickrudKuropon: you must not be registered, I'm not seeing you01:49
LjLRichW: yeah, because the update was a minor revision number (or whatever it's called) update... perhaps try forcing installation of the old kernel with « sudo apt-get install packagename=version » (make sure you do the same with modules & all, see « dpkg -l | grep linux »), though i cannot guarantee anything01:49
LjLmatkix, well not necessarily, you can still set it up for DHCP01:49
At0mic_PCLjL: I've been able to send a file to the computer with the phone. And in windows on this same box I was able to send a file from the computer to the phone.01:49

nickrudarken_: there is no exact equiv, the files get scattered around the filesystem base on function.  dpkg -L <pkgname> will tell you where01:51

fabian__hello .....I am new in ubuntu01:56
LjLmatkix, you don't *have* to do that, it can most probably be fixed from within network-manager, i just don't know how, and have found that network-manager is a chore i don't really want to deal with. but you might have better luck with someone else. editing a text file each time? yeah, possibly, but you could also just run "ifconfig eth0 <address> gw <gateway>". you could even easily make a little graphical interface to that using zenity01:56

bldzrHi there, since I upgraded from my Nvidia 7600GT to a 8800GTS (512MB/N92), I got hit by the "weird problem"-bat. When I boot kubuntu, my monitor starts switching between analog/digital before it decides to go to standy-mode. I've specified the problem in a post on the ubuntuforums ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=661343 ), but I thought that I'd ask here in #Ubuntu as well. I appreciate all the help I can get =)01:58

ubotumatkix: Supported screen resolutions are sometimes detected incorrectly, causing the splash screen to not appear and slowing down boot.

fabian__one question.. I cant install my card video (ATI 9550)01:58
nickrudKuropon: you have to use the ati drivers from their website, http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html . You should use the instructions at http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide01:58
Prez_this is odd, just installed Gutsy on brand new thinkpad x61 and says cannot enable desktop effects, it was working fin on my previous ThinkpAd X60s01:58

Kuroponnickrud, you have composite enabled ?02:00

acidfire2008i can see its currently running02:00
nickrudKuropon: yes, it's enabled automatically by X with that driver02:01
bazhangfallore: I have had troubles in the past with that particular app as well; I eventually just switched over to another one--are you set on using this one or are you open to suggestions for others?02:01
LjLth0r: is it the nginx package from the official repositories? do you have other third-party repositories enabled? if the answers are "yes" and "no", then file a bug at http://bugs.ubuntu.com/02:01

rodolfohello everyone02:02
th0rLjL I don't ever recall installing it, suspect it was installed with something else and I didn't catch it. I have apache running on the server just fine. This nginx thing pops up an error every now and then, like when I updatedb...but it isn't running according to ps. I just want it out <smile>02:02
nickrudKuropon: no, I have to use x11 to get playback.02:02
Kuroponnickrud, maning?02:02
bldzrCrazy activity in here :)02:02
acidfire2008LjL how do i get into the ubuntu desktop now02:02
Kuroponnickrud, meaning?*02:02
bazhangfallore: well how squeamish are you about using non-gnome apps with your gnome desktop? if not, then k3b does the job for me02:03
LjLth0r: if you "just want it out", edit the postinst and stick a line saying « exit 0 » right after the first #!/bin/sh line. no guarantees though.02:03
nickrudKuropon: or, switch to metacity. x11 is a different video output, xv is the standard these days. You can set that video output in your players02:03
fallorebazhang: i dont even know why i would be squeamish :] i'll check it out, thanks. i just thought k3b was more for cds than dvd's, don't know why :p02:03
th0rLjL yeah...was hoping there was a way to tell dpkg or apt-get to dump it...but doesn't look like it.02:04
bazhangfallore: haha; k3b is remarkably versatile--they even have their own channel I believe :}02:04
Kuroponnickrud, doesn switching from xv to x11 downgrade performance?02:04
th0rLjL tried to reinstall it, but that didn't work either...so I am stuck in some midpoint02:04
LjLth0r: no, there is no "sane" way to do that. if the postinst isn't completing, it may mean files are being left over the place, or other unpleasant things... that's why APT just refuses to remove it. and why i said "no guarantees"02:04
fallorebazhang: could you direct me to it, just in case? :]02:04
nickrudKuropon: some, yes. mplayer won't scale it, either. But you can switch easily between compiz and standard metacity easily.02:05
SANTAbiosok guys can i install my epson printer on ubuntu?02:05
LjLth0r: the "right" thing to do is file a bug.02:05

matkixs_spiff, I can't... It won't let me... When I change the settings they don't apply to my eth 0 adapter.02:57
biousera viewer would be a good place to start.02:57
IdleOneicewolf: possibly02:57
gyaresuzero88: Yes. If you're connected to the same network.02:57
=== john_ is now known as glick
zero88gyaresu oh ok thanks02:57
biouserI am thinking about trying to tackle Lyx, but I'm not sure if it can open/produce the file-types02:57
gyaresuzero88: Are you just trying to see open ports?02:58
IdleOnemusikgoat: loads fine here02:58
musikgoatcan anyone point me to the x64 alt install torrent file?02:58
glickhwy how can i get flash working in 7.10 is it still broken?02:58
th0raram it is included in the smbfs package, and I don't have that installed.02:58
musikgoatthanks IdleOne, i don't know whats up, all other pages load fine02:58
zero88gyaresu yes, and i cant seem to see my wireless comp for some reason02:58
gyaresuzero88: 'nc -zv hostname 1-1024' Is more efficent.02:58
glicki installed flash from synaptic but it doesnt work02:58
matkixHow do I set my ip address, default gateway for an interface? ifconfig eth0 ??????02:58
s_spiffmatkix, umm, well then i think ifconfig is the way to go. but do ask around again. Maybe someone must have had the same issue02:58
zero88gyaresu nc is better then nmap?02:58
biouserglick, you need to install the tarball from adobe02:58
glickbummer02:59
th0raram http://linux.die.net/man/8/smbmount02:59
glickok02:59
biouserglick, it's not a big deal02:59
gyaresumatkix: 'ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.42 gw 192.168.1.1'02:59
aramth0r: ok i mean like if i type smb mount then what is the example of it would be like smbmount \\1.1.1.1\share name?02:59
biouserglick, let me know if you have trouble02:59
nickrudbiouser: you might try installing it in wine02:59
matkixgy02:59
gyaresumatkix: 'sudo route add default 192.168.1.1'02:59
glickok thanks Biohazard02:59
glickbiouser,02:59
matkixgyaresu, How do I set up the netmask?02:59
gyaresuzero88: netcat is a very very useful program.02:59
IdleOnemusikgoat: what country?02:59
biousernickrud, that's what I was thinking02:59
icewolfsomeone knows why the apt servers are offline?02:59

shadixare they?02:59
hack184what do you mean by repos02:59
Starnestommythe us one seems to be on03:00
th0raram look at the link. You will need the ip of the service, the name of the service, the user and password if necessary, the moujntpoint for the service in the local computer and other options03:00
zero88gyaresu yes ive heard. but this is the first someone has recommended it over nmap03:00
Starnestommyhack184, package repositories?03:00

bazhangicewolf: what country03:00
shadixicewolf: i just did apt-get update and it worked fine03:00
gyaresuzero88: Nmap is overkill just to find out if port 22 is open for example. 'nc -zv hostname 80'03:00
musikgoatthanks IdleOne you rock03:00
gyaresuzero88: Nmap is overkill just to find out if port 22 is open for example. 'nc -zv hostname 22'03:00

Jack_Sparrowicewolf: Hopefully you never used automatix or envy. both bad ideas03:04
matkixSo what would the 2nd address in "sudo ifconfig eth0 12.168.100.102 12.168.96.1" would the 2nd addy be the mask or the gw.03:04

atheI'm experiencing strange window positioning behavior on 7.10, running it on 2 monitors in the twinview config set up through envy. Some windows, stuff like about dialogs and the like simply refuse to remember their previous position and snap to the right border of the main screen, more or less persistently. Compiz's "place windows" does not affect this. Any ideas would be appreciated.03:12

dimas_nickrud from add programs?03:47

alexbobpIs it possible to install Ubuntu PPC on a hard drive to be used in a PPC mac, from an x86 computer?03:47

nickrudjoses: not sure I understood the question ...03:51
Murdoc650I run Ubuntu on one of my HD's and XP on the other03:52

Murdoc650any way I can do that through Ubuntu?03:52

shadowhywindsorry 2-3 weeks.. hehe03:52
bazhangjoses: save yourself some headache and get the alternate cd--you want server or desktop version?03:53

Murdoc650anyone know?03:54
markdshadowhywind: Ubuntu and widows disagree what the bios clock should be set to03:54
bazhangjoses: not sure about time--but havent heard that it is longer to install 64bit desktop03:54

josesis it possible to install faster..stays stuck on 15%03:55
th0rmatkix sleep03:56

Dr_willisJennny,  you have some reading to do.. :) In short.. Uncompress it.. cd to the dir. ./configure  , make, sudo make install.03:57
Ashfire908SANTAbios, use sudo03:57
th0rJennny place the file where you want it to be and type 'tar -xvzf filename'03:57
Dr_willisSANTAbios,  it does support it.. direct logging in is disbled for security reasons.03:57
MagicDucktssom, it's probably due to the plugin you are using, not firefox itself03:57

matkixth0r, What would the command be if I wanted the script to display on the gui the wait notice... echo didn't do the trick...?03:58
SANTAbiosi think ubuntu is not that cool03:58
Dr_willisSANTAbios,  demand a refund then.03:58
Dr_willis:)03:58
roro98812i downloaded ubuntu live cd but it freezes after choosing start/install03:58
matkixSANTAbios, What did you expect of it?03:58
SANTAbiosfreebsd03:58
SANTAbiosi like freebsd03:58
Dr_willisthis is linux.. use what you want.. no one is forceing you to use ubuntu.03:58
th0rmatkix there are some utilities you can get that will install a prompt or take input for a script...but I don't recall what they are. Never got that deep into scripting...prefer to just do it in a terminal to begin with03:59
matkixSANTAbios,  Please see freebsd.org03:59
markdokay then use it.03:59
matkixSANTAbios, Have a nice day!03:59
SANTAbiosjust jokin03:59

roro98812will ubuntu 7.10 work on my amd 64 bit laptop?04:00
matkixAll, How do you display a message on the gui from a shell script. I attempted to use echo and that didn't work... what would be the command to do the trick?04:00
Ashfire908roro98812, processor wise it should04:00
SANTAbiosecho04:00

matkixDr_willis, Might you tell me what command would go before what I want to be displayed as echo didn't do the trick.04:01
biouserbut with like a -b for brutally kill04:01
DingbatFor some reason, since I upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10, Totem doesn't seem to work with the Gstreamer plugins anymore.  AVI, WMV and other types are failing (even though VLC plays them fine).  What can I do?04:01
th0rJennny what you asked didn't quite match what you are trying to do. There is an issue with flashplayer in ubuntu at the moment04:01
th0r!flash04:01
ubotuTo 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 !Gnash04:01
ubotuThe Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.04:01
Ashfire908biouser, uh... signal 9?04:01
Dr_willisi dont rember matkix  :) theres several.  but every so often the disrtos start usind some other one.04:01

Ashfire908biouser, 15 to more end it.04:02
Jennnyth0r: i know but using the binaries will fix the problem so i just need to get this installed but i don't know how to use .tar.gz04:02
bazhangZasch: if that is possible then 2GB is a fair bet; if not you might try a lighter window manager like xfce or use lighter weight apps04:02
th0rDr_willis nicely done <smile>04:02
biouserAshfire908, what do I put in the termianl04:02
Ashfire908biouser, i think it's -s [Signal]04:02
IL0v3C0fF3EIs ubuntu studio a distro or a program u can get for ubuntu??04:02
biouserI have this splash screen from win04:02
Ashfire908kill -s <signal> <pid>04:02
th0rJennny the link explains all the details, but as I recall you need to copy the flashplayer.so (not sure of the name) to the plugins folder for firefox04:03
DingbatFor some reason, since I upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10, Totem doesn't seem to work with the Gstreamer plugins anymore.  AVI, WMV and other types are failing (even though VLC plays them fine).  What can I do?04:03
biouserso $kill -s 9 ####04:03
biouser?04:03
Ashfire908biouser, should do it04:03
matkixAnyone. What command can I include in a bash script that will display a notice on the gui. Something similar to echo but that will show on the gui.04:03
Jennnyth0r: so can you help me mount the .tar.gz?04:03
IdleOneIL0v3C0fF3E: it is a set of multimedia applications bundled into a nice package and a default theme on top of ubuntu04:03

skyline_-Hi if I wanted to BKDM into Ubunto to make the SSA package 20k bytes, how would I do so?04:04
IL0v3C0fF3EIdleOne,  so i can get it for ubuntu?04:04
th0rJennny the filename is libflashplayer.so, and you don't mount the tar.gz. If you issued the command I told you then the tar.gz file should have created a folder next to the tar.gz file, and the lib file will be in that folder04:04
th0rJennny  in what folder is the tar.gz file?04:04
bazhangskyline_-: umm what is bkdm?04:04
skyline_-the package04:05
skyline_-i dunno what its used for04:05
Jennnyth0r: it's flash player 9 plugin that fixes the ubuntu problem04:05
bazhangno idea then skyline_-04:05
Ashfire908skyline_-, well you need to take idkwyta and then tmwyata.04:05
schweppsjenny, copy libflashplayer.so to the plugins directory in .mozilla04:05

bazhangracarter: sounds like a hardware issue--if you have a specific support question then ask away--if you just want to kibbutz then join #ubuntu-offtopic04:15
th0rJennny however, you still need to copy that lib file to the plugin folder for firefox...soon as the install is done let me know and we will check for that04:15
racartermy specific question i guess is where do i start troubleshooting at this point04:15
murchthe "ls" command doesnt seem to work on occasion anyone got any ideas as to why04:15
racarterhow can i prove it's a hardware problem.. i honestly don't believe it is for some reason04:15

Ashfire908racarter, unless it's  a oneliner04:17

nomasteryodabloodboy, all the other stuff is smaller... the extras you want04:50
Dr_willisVad1, you could some how do a ls for every dir in the $PATH variable. if your eally wanted to.. not sure why that would be usefull to know all the app names.04:50

bloodboythe whole screen just blacked out and the hard disk look like it powered down04:56
bloodboyi though there was a power failure..04:57

I've got both machines to see each other in the Network Neighbourhood/Places/Network area, and the Linux machine can access the XP machine but the XP machine is forced to do a log in to the Linux machine, so obviously I have to make an account on the linux machine for the XP machine. I have already said which folder I want to share, now how to I create an account for this Samba share04:59

ubotuTo get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login).  To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution.05:01

apocalypt1i just got a second monitor and set up a dual display, but there are no title bars on my second monitor. the only thing i can think of is that i may not have adequate graphics hardware to operate this rig. i have a GeForce 6200 card with 256 mb of memory. is this adequate, and if so do you have any idea what is wrong?05:03

Dr_williseven then.. the rc souldent stop the machien from booting the cd.05:04
lmillerno sound on youtube, and in xmms, the volume control is loud and unaffected by the system volume. In fact, the system volume controls can only go on the scale of loud (0%) to very loud (100%)05:04

Dr_willisIm sure theres plenty of guides/sites/info about dells and how to rescue them..05:06
Dingbatbloodboy >> you did create your rescue CD/DVD right?05:06
gyaresuDr_willis: Windows OS install files. Doesn't help when the drive dies. Sometimes you have a utility to make a cd/dvd out of them from within windows.05:06
speeddemon8803Dingbat, I hope he did..if not...wow...bad bad bad thing.05:06
Flynsarmygyaresu: It's a few months old. the error is 'The display sever has been shut down 6 times in the last 90 seconds.' Automatix is installed but i haven't touched it since i installed ubuntu months ago. Last night i marked packages by task in synaptic package manager and installed audio and video editing software. that's when the problems began05:06
PurpZeYDingbat: Generally, in my experience, they will tell you if you messed with the partition table you screwed it and are on your own05:06

Somewhere I read I can just press ctrl+alt+F2 to drop to a command line and that works. In windows you can get information like manufacturer code, etc for unidentified devices. Is there anyway to do this in05:11
WinShadethe ubuntu command prompt so that I know which drivers i'm looking for?05:11
Scuniziriver444: not really sure.. it's one of the boot options. someone here should know.. look up at th0r 's response  :)05:11

induhi all, can i get help on webserve plugin of bazaar here05:13
WinShadeo sorry, i forgot to mention that i did resort to installing via the text based, however now that i have i still need to find the drivers05:13
th0rWinShade Alt-Ctl-F2 won't work til the system is booted. If I were you I would try the alternate cd...this is an older laptop from your desc and probably doesn't have much ram/cpu/hd05:13

nickrudjames296: there are other distros that do that if you like05:26
th0rWinShade give that dpkg command a try05:26
ScuniziWinShade: that might be it  but if you want to test change "intel" to "vesa".. it can always be changes back.05:27
malnilionjames296, I'm pretty sure gimp 2.4.2 is in the repos...05:27
james296I have tried to deal with PCLinuxOS but the way it is, just somethin about it doesnt suit my taste...05:27
FernandoLujanIs anyone available to help me with some problems? Ubuntu doesn't recognize my sound card, and I'm not sure what to do.05:27
UnknownUniverseHow do I remove network manager icon?05:27
shadixFastZ: I think they removed it with Gutsy05:27
james296gimp 2.4.2 isnt in the repos....05:27
UnknownUniverseFernandoLujan: #alsa05:27
nickrudmalnilion: you must have backports enabled05:27
DoonzSo can anyone help me with getting Ubuntu set up with port multipliers?05:27
WinShadeth0r: i selected 800x600 since i figure most monitors of this age can handle at least that. what do i do again to start up the graphical interface?05:28
jeff__where is the thing to check boxes to turn on proprietary drivers or not?05:28
malnilionnickrud, ah, I see.05:28
WinShadeScunizi: I'm not ignoring u, just surrounded by a bunch of options. i'll try that next05:28
Leechzillagyaresu: There's nothing there about getting the filename. Is there any other way?05:28
PurpZeYjeff__: System --> Adm --> Restricted Drivers Manager05:28
Doonzseriously nobody can05:28
th0rWinShade hit Alt-F7 and if it is running it will take you to the gui, if it isn't running, hit Alt-F2 again and type startx05:28
hunchybunchFernandoLujan, have you tried alsaconfig yet?05:28
UnknownUniversePlease how do I disable network manager icon in panel05:28
Doonzwow05:28
jeff__in kubuntu?05:28
ScuniziWinShade: no problem05:28
gyaresuLeechzilla: Does it have to be vlc? mplayer will do everything but dvd menus from the command line...05:29
PurpZeYjeff__: I don't know how to get to it necessarily in kde but it's the restricted drivers manager05:29
FernandoLujanhunchybunch, alsamixer in the terminal?05:29
WinShadeth0r: still getting weird blue alternating dots set up in a neat stripe pattern vertically on the screen05:29
th0rWinShade yeah...it isn't configuring the modelines correctly.05:29
WinShadeth0r: totally black screen otherwise, seems its not doing anything (loading or anything)05:29
nickrudUnknownUniverse: killall nm-applet (temporary)05:29
th0rWinShade give the other guys a shot...maybe their ideas will work05:30
WinShadek thx05:30
malnilionUnknownUniverse, well, you could remove network manager entirely if you don't need it for wifi or anything.05:30
FernandoLujanhunchybunch, Can you explain what I should do for alsaconfig? I don't think I have tried that.05:30
UnknownUniversemalnilion: I'm using eth005:30
gyaresunickrud: 'pkill' rather than killall to just get most of the name right.05:30
rredd4_does itunes software work with wine in 7.10?05:30
DoonzSo can anyone help me with getting Ubuntu set up with port multipliers?05:31
gyaresuWinShade: http://wiki.zenwalk.org/index.php?title=82845G/GL_Integrated_Graphics_Device And I'd have a look at the bios setting...05:31
malnilionUnknownUniverse, well if you don't use wifi, I might just go ahead and remove it05:31
nickrudgyaresu: I've used that intermittently, but never saw a reason to prefer ...05:31
Leechzillagyaresu: mplayer would be nice too, but I don't see such an option in help05:31
ScuniziDoonz: probably not tonight..  you might try #ubuntu-server05:31
WinShadeScunizi: ok so i changed it to vesa and saved. alt+F7, gives thicker more consitent blue lines over a black screen05:31
WinShadegyaresu: thank you, will check it out now05:31
gyaresuLeechzilla: To run a file from the command line? With mplayer it's just 'mplayer file.avi'05:32
ScuniziWinShade: did you restart the GUI?05:32
UnknownUniverseok malnilion But I'll just killall nm-applet05:32
DoonzThanx05:32
Leechzillagyaresu, no to display the filename of what I'm playing already05:32
WinShadeScunizi: how? :$05:32
gyaresuLeechzilla: As an overlay?05:32
Leechzillagyaresu, no, in terminal05:32
nickrudheh. He's gone and done it :)05:32
ScuniziWinShade: ctrl+alt+backspace... kinda like ctrl+alt+delete on windows but less distructive05:32
WinShadeScunizi: lol, will do05:33
gyaresuLeechzilla: 'mplayer file.avi' Then it sits there playing in the terminal so you can just see what it is.05:33
WinShadegives the same black screen but the blue lines are less consistent again..05:34
Leechzillagyaresu, no thats not what im looking for05:34
LeechzillaI need it for using it in a screen, not for me to "see" it05:34
Leechzilla*script05:34
WinShadebtw is there any way to restart or shutdown the computer from the command line? i dont want to hard boot every time05:34
ScuniziWinShade: do one more change.. change from vesa to nv then restart the GUI again.05:34
gyaresuLeechzilla: So you want to play a bunch of files and have a script detect the name of the file playing?05:35
corinthI have a folder of txt files I'd like to lock. Anyone know how to set a folder to only open with a password? A native way OR another application.05:35
LeechzillaWinShade: sudo reboot05:35
WinShadeScunizi: k05:35
nickrudWinShade: reboot or halt (with sudo)05:35
WinShadeLeechzilla: thx :)05:35
Leechzillagyaresu: yes05:35
Shadixhey i can't get this right none of my games will play they all just hang. Graphics issues I'm using the flgx driver. Open Area just hung and now I can't move my mouse05:35
ScuniziWinShade: sure.. sudo reboot or sudo shutdown now05:35
Starnestommyor sudo telinit 0/605:35
FastZshadix:  it shows with every other clean install of Gutsy I have on other machines.05:35
roro98812i was trying to boot from a ubunto live cd but after the loading page with the bar thingy it stops on a black screen ... whts the problem some1 helllllp!!!!05:35
Starnestommy0 for shutdown, 6 for reboot05:35
nickrudas always, many ways05:35
malnilionshutdown -r now :P05:36
ShadixFastZ: I've never seen it since my card can"t handle the splash05:36
gyaresuLeechzilla: 'ps auxf |grep mplayer' then pass it to awk or similar05:36
Starnestommyroro98812: hit F6 at the boot menu and change "quiet splash" to "nosplash"?05:36
WinShadegyaresu: UMA Video Memory: 1 MB (something tells me that's pretty low)05:36
Doonz*sigh* this sux05:36
roro98812ok thx ill try it05:36
gyaresuWinShade: :) I thinx I've foundz it!05:36
WinShadegyaresu: ?05:36
Leechzillagyaresu: That's the only way? Cause that wouldn't tell me if the video is paused or playing05:37
Shadixroro98812: you can also just delete "quiet splash" from the kernel line if you don't care to have a splash.05:37
gyaresuWinShade: If you've got 512MB ram then set it to 64MB or similar.05:37
acee1234anyone know how to get full screen to work  on youtube it flashes up then disappears shortly after hitting the full screen button05:37
SANTAbiosi lost my  main tool bar, how do i get it back to the top?05:37
Shadixok brb reboot05:37
BakefyI am installing ubuntu server and I got an error, "grub error 18" to me that means my hard drive is too big...05:37
roro98812okay05:37
roro98812thx shadix05:37
Bakefycan I set the partition up so that it works?05:37
SANTAbiosi lost my  main tool bar, how do i get it back to the top?,the one thats says apps ect...05:37
SANTAbiosi lost my  main tool bar, how do i get it back to the top?,the one thats says apps ect...05:38
WinShadegyaresu: bios only allows me to go up to 8 MB05:38
malnilionWinShade, do it05:38
FastZShadix:  maybe that's my problem.  Maybe the card in this notebook cant handle showing the splash.  It's no big deal really.  Just annoying to sit there looking at a solid black screen while Ubuntu is booting before the gdm login screen comes up.05:38
nickrudSANTAbios: do you know how you lost it? Did you delete it?05:38
malnilionWinShade, I'm betting it'll make a difference05:38
WinShadekk05:39
hunchybunchFernandoLujan, i thought there was a  alsaconfig backport, i guess not.  i would grep your dmesg and lsmod to see if it loaded your module first05:39
StarnestommyFastZ: edit the entry /boot/menu.lst where it says "quiet splash" to say "nosplash05:39
bullgard4I have got two DEB program packages on my Ubuntu 7.10 computer: linux-source 2.6.22.14.21 "Linux kernel source with Ubuntu patches". Why is its size only 53.2 kB in contrast to linux-source-2.6.22 version 2.6.22-14.47 which comprises 45.5 MB?05:39
nickrudSANTAbios: you can reset the panels to the default by typing in a terminal,    gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && pkill gnome-panel05:39
Shadixok imma back05:40
nickrudbullgard4: the source is in /usr/src as a tarball05:40
WinShadegyaresu/malnilion: ok, the interface loaded up but i'm still getting those blue lines on the screen. it doesnt matter that much to me that i have perfect picture, but if it's not too much trouble can u help me troubleshoot?05:41
hunchybunchanyone getting water effects with compiz - mine does nothing :((05:41
ShadixI'm having serious graphics issues, on reboot or shutdown my comp hangs and i get green,yellow, and red snow.05:41
malniliongyaresu, good call on the ram, do you think his refresh rates might be off?05:41
bullgard4nickrud: I do not quite understand. One size is kilobytes, the other Megabytes. A tarball does not compress Megabytes into kilobytes.05:42
gyaresuWinShade: malnilion http://wiki.zenwalk.org/index.php?title=82845G/GL_Integrated_Graphics_Device That might help. Set VideoRam higher and get some proper res. Is it an LCD or CRT?05:42
hunchybunchShadix, you have one monitor?05:42
Shadixhunchybunch: try shift+F9 or shift+super key+f905:42
Shadixyes05:42
malniliongyaresu, WinShade is on a laptop05:42
gyaresumalnilion: k.05:43
WinShadeLCD (laptop)05:43
WinShadeo05:43
nickrudbullgard4: read the description of linux-source-2.6.22.14.21 , it says that package will always depend on the lastest kernel source. It's like a pointer to the real thing05:43
WinShadesorry05:43
WinShadei'm slow on the uptake sumtimes :)05:43
gyaresuWinShade: Can you edit files from the command line?05:43
WinShadei figured out nano alrite05:43
Shadow147hey I have to reinstall my windows XP system is there a way to install grub and for it to detect both Linux/XP05:43
bullgard4nickrud: Ah, yes, a pointer. This makes sense. --  Thank you very much for commenting.05:44
malnilionWinShade, try going back into sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf05:44
hunchybunchShadix, been there, done that - maybe my old video card cant hack it.05:44
acee1234anyone know how to get full screen to work  on youtube it flashes up then disappears shortly after hitting the full screen button05:44
malnilionWinShade, and change the driver to "i810"05:44
hunbusoÎÒ²âÊÔÒ»ÏÂÊÇ·ñ¿ÉÒÔ·¢ËÍÖÐÎÄÎÄ×Ö05:44
nickrudbullgard4: you'll see that a lot in the packaging system. It's the same principle behind the ubuntu-desktop package05:44
gyaresuWinShade: Cool. Then you could go to ctrl+alt+F2 and edit the (after backing up) /etc/X11/xorg.conf file05:45
speeddemon8803!nl | hunbuso05:45
ubotuhunbuso: Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl05:45
Shadixhunchybunch: could be, i hate video card issues that my problem now05:45
bullgard4nickrud: right.05:45
hunchybunchShadix, only one monitor, right?05:45
Scunizimalnilion: WinShade might need to sudo apt-get install i81005:45
nickrudspeeddemon8803: how did you know that was dutch? it was gobbledegook on xchat here05:45
Shadixyep LCD digital05:45
gyaresumalnilion: You help out WinShade. I'll pop in if I'm needed.05:45
malnilionScunizi, good point05:45
speeddemon8803Pretty sure it was dutch.05:45
malniliongyaresu, thanks for posting that zenwalk wiki link05:46
speeddemon8803If not, oh well they will get redirected again.05:46
Shadow147hey I have to reinstall my windows XP system is there a way to install grub and for it to detect both Linux/XP?05:46
Scunizimalnilion: WinShade or if that doesn't find it.. then sudo aptitude for the text based graphical apt tool..05:46
gyaresuShadow147: Do you have to reinstall or repair xp?05:46
nickrudspeeddemon8803: you obviously saw real characters, I didn't. I wonder why...05:46
DoonzSo can anyone help me with getting Ubuntu set up with port multipliers?05:47
gyaresuShadow147: Are xp and ubuntu on the same drive?05:47
Shadow147gyaresu reinstall it05:47
speeddemon8803I am not the all knowing speeddemon but I do try to at least point our users to a place where they may or may not get the help they need. If they dont get the help they need, they get redirected yet again.05:47
WinShademalnilion: i didn't think to backup, and when i did the ctrl+alt+backspace it loaded a black screen :(05:47
nickrud!grub | Shadow14705:47
ubotuShadow147: 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/GrubHowto05:47
biouserhow to uninstall a program that was installed on wine?05:47
Shadow147gyaresu no they are on 2 seperate drives05:47
gyaresuShadow147: Nice. That'll help heaps.05:47
JangariShadow147: backup your grub, then reinstall xp, then use super grub disk, then copy back the menu.lst from the backup you made05:47
WinShadeScunizi: i'd try those but this laptop's wifi card still isnt operational05:47
speeddemon8803My best friend speaks dutch, and when someone starts talking like that she can talk to them..so it must be dutch.05:47
corinthI have a folder of txt files I'd like to lock. Anyone know how to set a folder to only open with a password? A native way OR another application.05:47
speeddemon8803is all i can figure.05:47
ScuniziWinShade: can you plug it  directly in.. w/ ethernet cable?05:48
Shadixhunchybunch: I'm using the (ATI Radeon (fglrx)) driver with a Radeon x700 pro05:48
gyaresuShadow147: What Jangari said. (grub IS on the ubuntu disk right?) Then you wouldn't need to edit it, just unplug the drive for safety and reinstall xp. Then plug the drive back in.05:48
hunchybunchShadix, are you gutsy?05:48
Shadixyep05:48
nickrudspeeddemon8803: no, I mean I saw stuff that was obviously no known language. Bunch of caps with odd characters, like superscript 2. I have language issues05:48
WinShadeit's a bit of an issue, i'll c if it works, but again, i lost the display.. what can i do?05:48
malnilionScunizi, I don't think there's an i810 package, I think those drivers *should* be included by default in Ubuntu, but I'm not sure05:48
Jangariif they're on separate hard drives, gyaresu, rather than seperate partitions05:49
gyaresunickrud: I saw that also (not a reall language) and I'm using rxvt-unicode05:49
Jangarihelps just to make a copy of the grub now though, then restoring it post windows installation is easy, but you still need to background the MBR using super grub disk05:49
Shadow147gyaresu really well I just want to be safe than sorry05:49
gyaresuJangari: He said they were separate drives.05:49
Jangariah, pardon05:49
nickrudmalnilion: there's xserver-xorg-video-i81005:49
ScuniziWinShade: often xorg will automatically make a backup.  look in /etc/X11 for xorg.<something>  if it's there there's a way to copy it back05:50
hunchybunchShadix, i had the same problem when plugging into my TVout port, TV was ok, but monitor went white and funky.  using the fglrx driver that is.05:50
WinShadeumm... how? i have no display...05:50
malnilionnickrud, that'd be the one lol05:50
WinShadethe computer's fan just went crazy just down05:50
WinShade*shutdown05:50
evil_techdoes ubuntu not have support for IT8212 IDE controller05:50
ScuniziWinShade: ctrll+alt+f2?05:50
evil_tech?05:50
JangariShadow147: you can just try anything, there's no chance of harming ubuntu by reinstalling windows, it's just a pain to restore the grub, is all05:51
WinShadeScunizi: that did nothing05:51
SteamMachineHowdy05:51
speeddemon8803Nick, I am not using Ubuntu atm, but I do have language packs in windows that help me with that issue. :)05:51
nickrudspeeddemon8803: ah, one of those non standard things05:51
* nickrud is at peace with his machine again05:51
Jangarialright, i'm out05:51
Doonzso are there any more support channels i could try05:52
Shadixhunchybunch: is there a better driver out there?05:52
ScuniziWinShade: I'm at a loss at this point. I'll let others take over from here.. good luck.05:52
WinShade:S, when i restarted i got a message about the computer having to shutdown to maintain temperature... could that have been caused by the change we made to the video thinger?05:52
WinShadeScunizi: it works now05:52
* speeddemon8803 pats nick's pc...it be ok ;)05:52
WinShadeno blue stripes or anything :p05:52
astro76Doonz: what do you mean by port multiplier, a kvm?05:52
Shadow147Jangari I want to make sure I can restore grub to be my loader instead of winXP loader05:52
malnilionWinShade, awesome!05:52
WinShadeguess even linux systems needs a reboot every now and then05:52
Shadow147because I will have to wipe the hard drive05:52
reverendnathanHey gang, adept is telling me amarok and amarok-xine need updates indefinately. Meaning, they've been updated, but keeps insisting on an update. How do I correct this?05:52
gyaresuDoonz: What was the issue?05:53
ScuniziWinShade: as in "correctly"? or sort of.05:53
Doonztrying to get my port multiplier to work05:53
nickrudShadow147: it's not hard to do, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows has instructions.05:53
attickiddoes making a partition for ./usr/ is really usefull would anyone recommend me to do this for any special reason?05:53
WinShadeya, totally fine, cept for that weird temperature thing. hopefully that won't recur05:53
nickrudattickid: no reason at all anymore05:53
ScuniziWinShade: what kind of lappy is it?05:53
gyaresuDoonz: What do you mean 'port multiplier'?05:53
WinShadeIt's a dell inspiron|110005:54
gyaresuWinShade: If you know what you did to fix it. Add it to the help.ubuntu.com wiki for others.05:54
attickidnickrud: It would be ok just making a partition for /home right?05:54
Doonzhttp://www.addonics.com/products/host_controller/adsa3gpx8-4e.asp05:54
Doonzthats what im trying to get to work05:54
Doonzit has a 5-1 port multiplier on port 105:54
nickrudattickid: yeah, / and /home are all you really need. Some people do /var because they are worried about logs or such running them out of disk space05:55
astro76Doonz: it's an esata controller, I'd suggest calling it that when asking for help ;)05:55
ScuniziWinShade: you might want to search ubuntuforums.org and see if there are any issues with the fan thing. there may be a fix if it becomes an issue in the future..05:55
WinShadei'll do that. but i think it's just changing the x11 file to "i810" from "vesa" or whatever it was before.which is what the site you sent me tells me to do anyways05:55
Doonzyes but its the port multiplier part that isnt working05:55
malnilionWinShade, for what it's worth, I've got a similar onboard video card in an old desktop of mine and it runs Desktop Effects semi decently in case you get curious ;)05:55
Doonzthe controller card is fine05:55
WinShadealright, i'll do that, thanks scunizi05:55
astro76Doonz: no, the whole thing is an esata controller, there is no port multiplier05:55
WinShademalnilion: i planned on trying that, thx05:55
Doonzreally05:55
ScuniziWinShade: next is wireless..  no experience there.. good luck..  have fun :)  Next thing you know all your machines will be running something other than WinXX05:56
Elder__it says i have flash installed but it wont display it on any of the webpages that require it and still says i have additional plug-ins to be installed05:56
Doonzok well you seem to know alot about it... how do i get the module that supports PM installed into ubuntu 7.1005:56
gyaresuDoonz: Look at the side menu of that site. Under 'Port Multiplier'05:56
WinShadelol, hope so05:56
Elder__any thoughts?05:56
WinShadeVista is on my laptop cuz i use visual studio to write programs in c#05:57
Doonzhttp://www.addonics.com/support/faqs/faq-pmsupport_desktop.asp05:57
Doonzthat is the walkthrough i tried following05:57
WinShadeis there anyway for me to use visual studio semi-decently thru linux?05:57
gyaresuDoonz: Where are you with it? Is it recognised?05:57
attickidnickrud: Im about to install linxu again..can I just save the usr/ folder and paste it in the new installation to get all packages I got in the older one?05:57
Shadow147Jangari hey how do I find out where grub is installed?05:57
Doonzthe card is but its only reconising 1 hdd05:57
Doonz1 outta 5 attached05:57
bulmer!clone | attickid05:57
ubotuattickid: 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 !automate05:57
ChuckFuI am using Ubuntu 7.10 with a Diamond Stealth Radeon 9250 card, it is not listed in the driver for the card , what drive should I use05:57
ScuniziWinShade: yep.. sort of.. load linux and vmware server (free) then load windows to run in a window in linux :)  Virtual Machine..05:58
nickrudattickid: no, see the clone above05:58
ScuniziWinShade: or dual boot.05:58
attickidok thanks:)05:58
matkixAnyone here know anything about cpanel?05:58
malnilionWinShade, yeah vmware's cool, but I wouldn't suggest it on your super old lappie ;)05:58
WinShadeScunizi: sounds nice, i tried dual booting once. that was a nightmare. i really didnt like it. i'll give vmware a shot at some point.05:58
gyaresuDoonz: Are you using 6.06 Dapper?05:58
Doonzsee that was my next question05:59
ScuniziWinShade: not on the old lappy though.. something with more umpf05:59
WinShademalnilion: o no, thats for my newer laptop that i'm on right now05:59
river444hey what does 1 long system beep followed by 2 short ones mean?05:59
Doonzshould i install 6.06 instead of 7.1005:59
nickrudChuckFu: in a terminal, type  glxinfo | grep direct05:59
WinShadei hate vista with a passion. but i'm willing to give it another shot once SP1 comes out05:59
gyaresuDoonz: Are you using a vanilla kernel from kernel.org (unpatched)? Are you using exactly linux-2.6.17.4?05:59
nickrudChuckFu: what that does is check for whether or not you have 3d acceleration with the driver you're using right now06:00
river444hey what does 1 long system beep followed by 2 short ones mean?06:00
gyaresuDoonz: Unless the latest kernel supports your card.06:00
Leechzilla_Does the VLC player package for Ubuntu come with D-Bus control enabled?06:00
Doonzwell im running 2.6.2206:00
Doonzhttp://home-tj.org/wiki/index.php/Libata-tj-stable06:00
Elder__river444: do you get video?06:00
Doonzthat site has it06:00
gyaresuYou need to find out if the patches are in the kernel you are using or an even more recent one. Gutsy for example.06:00
Doonzhow how how06:00
river444elder no, but it the beeps come out almost instantly06:01
gyaresuDoonz: K. Stay calm. I'm looking :)06:01
revilodra1who will read my xorg.conf to tell me where my resolution problem lies?06:01
Doonzsorry im only going on day 2 of this06:01

FactTechrevilodral OK, I see them up there. Those are pretty low for higher resolution rates. Do you have the manufacturer specs on the monitor?06:13
nickrud!brokenflash | james296 (install from adobe)06:13
ubotujames296 (install from adobe): 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.06:13
steve2838gyaresu: hmm... F1 alone doesn't seem to work.06:13
reverendnathanAdept is telling me amarok and amarok-xine need updates indefinately. Meaning, they've been updated, but keeps insisting on an update. How do I correct this?06:13
FactTechrevilodral You can update the values, restart X, and you'll get more resolution values. But it's important to use manufacturer data to set the values.06:13
revilodra1FactTech: not with me but i could probably find them out its a dell inspiron 6400 with ati x1400 graphics card06:13
gyaresusteve2838: Did you try the keys file. I don't set F1 alone to anything because apps will use it.06:14
Doonzgyaresu no luck?06:14
WinShademalnilion: you are a god amongst men06:14
ChuckFunickrud is there a way to see how the video card is performing it has 256Meg that should be enough06:14
FactTechrevilodral Take a peek at the back of the monitor to see if you can get the exact model number. A google search on that plus "specifications" will usually turn up a page from the manufacturer.06:14

WindowSmashe1okay well I can't partition06:53

cybergignickrud, what about wine.. you can get applications from windows to run on linux but it is still a risk I know trying to operate such a way. I'm just talking about as a normal linux user at the moment.06:56

Doonzhttp://pastebin.com/d695c2bbe06:57
astro76cybergig: plus a windows virus did run in wine, the damage would be restricted to ~/.wine/06:58
nickrudcybergig: and that's not because I don't care, it's one reason I run linux. So I can pay zero attention06:58
hunchybunchcybergig, well, there is clamav, but it is more to protect windows machines that may connect to your files.06:58
WindowSmashe1Looks to be working now06:58

nickrudfirst time for everything. My last install using the the desktop!! cd actually worked06:59
Doonznix'gyaresu it is /dev/sdh that is the one outta the 5 drive showing from the port multiplier06:59
JairunCalothsome_dude: I've found synaptic to be great when I don't know exactly what package I want to install, and want to be able to look through them. However, if you know the package name, apt-get is lightyears faster.06:59
bulmerup_the_irons, even if it does reject it, once you tell the system to reboot, it does close the cdrom so your disk is back as if you have not ejected it right?06:59
gyaresuDoonz: lspci (and please use my name so it highlights). All the other drives are NOTHING to do with either of these cards?06:59
nickrudJairunCaloth: try apt-cache search , still faster than synaptic07:00
cybergigI wouldn't want to go through the hassle of setting up an X system anyways if wine were to crash or something. because of a virus, I mosly moved to linux on a wrong reason.. kept on getting tired of it rebooting after an update by itself when I was working.07:00

cybergigA command prompt program? Such as a server that needs to be configured through CMD rather than be installed through CMD07:19
WinShadei need ndiswrapper but don't have a network connection on the laptop i need it on, is there any way to get it?07:19
cybergigIt can be set up through CMD if you run it through CMD but... thats basically running the EXE which is similar to the linux setup, except in times its not as GUI based07:19
cybergigthats what I have notised07:19
tanathcybergig, if you want to do that stuff, chances are you already know how07:19
cybergigChances are, probably... but I don't know a whole lot about the linux kernal and its commands07:20
cybergigthan CMD07:20
soldatsup_the_irons, well ireally didnt know what you wanted but i thought you needed the door to close so that commad will work for it, hope it help in some way. i gotta go, cya07:20
bulmerWinShade, use a cable like cat5 to get it hooked to a pc that has access to the internet07:20
WinShadebulmer: i figured that was my only option, alright, thx07:20
tanathcybergig, you mean terminal/shell commands?07:20

tanathcybergig, 'cmd' is the exe name for a command prompt on windows07:21

hunchybunchcybergig, 10 years ago when i started using linux, i had to learn the hard way, and it was fun and all, time consuming though.  Now im getting real lazy cus linux is easier than windows in alot of ways07:21
cybergigI'm talking about general set up of an application in a type of terminal, I know what CMD is in windows but it the 'type' of windows terminal to use07:21
cybergigas to where linux's terminal is just named as terminal.07:21
tanathcybergig, generally you don't have to set up an app in a terminal07:22
oddalothello, can someone guide me through getting a good resolution for my monitor, i can only set this crt at 60hz at it's giving me a massive headache07:22
cybergigI was talking about the simplicity rather than asking a question of how to setup07:22
oddaloterr refresh rate i mean07:22
cybergigprobably don't have too, It just seems easier to work through a temrinal for me at times..07:22

ShnozberrieIs there a way to hibernate an ubuntu session and go to a windows boot then come back?07:28
tanubisbulmer it can.  Verify will use CPU to hash the file on the drive and the file on the cd to see if there are defects.  Time for that varies by cpu speed, but takes about the same amount of time as it would to zip and unzip the thing.07:28

mikessis there any way to boot without running x?08:00
bulmerkr00l, well maybe you dont really need to install it, you just run the command with options of the file you need to convert..read the examples08:00
sethkMongooseWA, usually when you can't build from scratch and you have, e.g., snd installed, you need the header files from a package named snd_dev (not the exact names, but you get the idea)08:00
sethkmikess, you can boot into recovery mode08:01
mikessyea that works08:01
bulmerCrazy181, you have tried ifup wlan0 ?  what was the response if any?08:01
sethkmikess, you can then do control-alt-f1, log in, and kill any X that is running (if any is running)08:01

mikessboot into recovevey mode and do that?08:02
Crazy181bulmer - Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan008:03
sethkMongooseWA, search for packages with flac in the name, see if there is a dev package you need.08:03
MongooseWAyeah, did that08:03
MongooseWAand got it :-D08:03
sethkMongooseWA, I haven't installed this particular app, which is why I'm being somewhat vague08:03
MongooseWAsethk, you're fine. i tihnk it should work now08:03
sethkMongooseWA, hope so.08:03
MongooseWAwhat do these errors mean?08:04

mikesssethk do i boot into recovery mode and do the ctrl-alt-f1?08:04
sethkmikess, try that, yes.08:04
mikessalright ill try thanks08:05
Crazy181bulmer - i will c what i can find on google thanks for your help guys08:05
sethkMongooseWA, usually that means the app was never compiled with a recent version of the compiler, and it has an error that an earlier version of the compiler overlooked08:05
bulmerCrazy181, okay..good luck08:05
sethkMongooseWA, you have to fix that .h file.  If you put it on the pastebin, we can look at it and see why it's being bitchy08:05
MongooseWAconfig.h?08:06
bulmertinyxml.h08:07
tanubiscrazy181 you need to have an entry in there for wlan008:07
sethkMongooseWA, as bulmer said, tinyxml.h08:07
tanubiscrazy181 add in something like... iface wlan0 inet dhcp08:07
tanubiscrazy181 you need to have an entry in there for wlan008:08
tanubiscrazy181 add in something like... iface wlan0 inet dhcp08:08
mikesssethk i tryed that and it didnt do anything, i also noticed that its only the caps and scroll lock that flash if that makes a differnce08:08
sethkmikess, they flash continuously?08:09
mikessyea08:09
sethkmikess, what kind of machine is it?  as in processor type, speed, whatever?08:09
Crazy181tanubis -ty will try that08:09

sethkmikess, did the install work normally, show the gui, etc?08:10
MongooseWAsethk, where is tinyxml.h located?08:10
bulmerwhat was the signal one sends to a possibly just sleeping process? hup? i dont want to kill it, just a nudge to wake it up08:10
mikessno, the gui wouldnt load nothing on the regular disk would work, i had to download the alternative copy and do text install08:11
tanubisls |grep php308:11
tanubis...08:11
sethkMongooseWA, the error message said  src/lib/xml/tinyxml.h, so I assume that's in the place where you extracted the files from the tarball08:11
MongooseWAOH08:11
MongooseWAchrist08:12
ere4siyes?08:12
ere4siheh08:12
sethkmikess, hmm.  if it were just the video, X would fail to start but it would bring up a console login08:12
MongooseWAhttp://pastebin.com/d37a89a7308:12
sethkmikess, boot the alternative CD, get to a prompt, mount the file system, and look in the logs (/var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog are the ones that typically we care about)08:13
mikesssethk, when i try to boot anything on the live cd, says loading kernal to 100% then goes turns the monitor off and does the flashy thing08:14
sethkMongooseWA, you can take out the "virtual" qualifier and it should build.  I know that doesn't make much sense but I think it will work.08:14
dr_pressureguys -- quick question: i'm root on a dlink router, and i want to modify a file, but it's giving me some crap about a read only file system -- how can i bypass that?08:15
ChrisGibbs!mount08:15
ubotuPartitioning 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 !DiskMounter08:15
sethkmikess, ok, in that case, boot the alternate cd and get access to the files and look at the X log (usually /var/log/Xorg.0.log)08:16
bulmerdr_pressure, you have a shell access to a dlink router?  is it even possible to write inside that router?08:16
MongooseWAsethk, how do i go abotu doing that? im a newb at programming.08:16
mikesssethk could i do that in recovery mode because that boots fine08:16
sethkMongooseWA, bring up an editor and simply delete "virtual"08:16
ShnozberrieSo i'm having a big problem. I installed ubuntu first on ReiserFS leaving unallocated space in the HDD for a windows partition. When I use the windows installer it gives me an error upon attempting format / partition on this unallocated space. Fdisk shows it as a HPFS/NTFS drive.08:16
sethkmikess, sure, any way that gets you to a prompt.  In this case, then, look at Xorg.0.log.old08:17
dr_pressurebulmer, there's a different file system which i can write to -- but i want to modify the html page (usually done by firmware update). it's a read only file system, but seeing as i'm root isn't there any way i can get around that?08:17
sethkmikess, because Xorg.0.log will be from the successful recovery mode startup08:17
bulmerdr_pressure, answer those dlink routers run from its ram, so you have no where to write and save08:17
white_eaglecan VLC play .rm files?08:17
dr_pressurebulmer, yes, i know i wont be able to save, but is there a way i can write anyway08:18
MongooseWAsethk, do i delete all occurances of "virtual" in tinyxml.h? there's quite a few08:18

sethkMongooseWA, no, only the one on the line where you got the error message.  828 I think it was.08:18
bulmerdr_pressure, the router itself does not allow you to write to its flash memory correct?08:18
dr_pressurebulmer, not as far as i can tell08:18
MongooseWAsethk, no dice08:19
sethkMongooseWA, did the error message change?08:19
sethkMongooseWA, was it 828?  If so I told you the wrong line.08:20
bulmerdr_pressure, none that I know of on these cheap routers..single board computers may have the circuitry but not sure about soho class or routers08:20
MongooseWAsethk, nope,it's exactly the same. i commented out line 830, though08:20
MongooseWAline 830 is virtual ~TiXmlDeclaration(){}08:20
sethkMongooseWA, I forgot that it uses the line number where the error is on a multi-line statement08:20
ShnozberrieShould I just try formatting the entire disk and installing windows FIRST?08:20
bulmerShnozberrie, yes, but why even use windows?08:20
dr_pressuredamn, thanks anyway bulmer08:20
ShnozberrieAdobe CS3 : (08:21
sethkMongooseWA, put 830 back in, and on the constructor, take out TiXmlDeclaration::08:21
MongooseWAok, yeah08:21
MongooseWAi was gunna suggest that08:21
sethkMongooseWA, it's a class constructor, and the qualifier is redundent.08:21
sethkMongooseWA, I should have seen that right away; I must be getting old and senile.08:21
bulmerdr_pressure, how would one upgrade a firmware on those units anyways? maybe same steps?08:21
ere4siwhite_eagle, vlc can't play .rm files - there's a real player in synaptic tho' :)08:21
MongooseWAugh, now im getting a different error08:22
white_eagleere4si: I know, i was just asking08:22
MongooseWAstill with tinyxml, i believe08:22
ere4sik08:22
sethkMongooseWA, well, that's progress (I hope)  :)08:22
MongooseWAyeah :-\08:22
MongooseWA1 sec, ill pastebin08:22
dr_pressurebulmer, i have actually found the mechanism by which firmware update works --- it's a command line program which gets called by the html.... i've yet to try to hack it, but my guess is that it would be only accept files that are cryptographically signed :(08:22
MongooseWAsethk, http://pastebin.com/d5a0f58ad08:23
Matrixisrlanybody know how to configure ubuntu 7.1 sound08:24
bulmerdr_pressure, these soho routers have somekind of linux behind it noh? like a zyxel has busybox, i have yet to figure out how to write to the flash memory, i like to change the iptable rules on it08:24
ere4siwhite_eagle, "real" is a commrercial entity - linux has a port of there codec that will play their files - is what I meant :)08:24
zetheroocan I format an ntfs drive with gparted?08:25
ChrisGibbsits been a while since i have previously done a new install but does 7.10 complain when /boot is its own partition??08:25
sethkMongooseWA, it's a class, but the code is referring to it as a struct08:25
bulmerdr_pressure, once you access the basically command line of that router, look in  /bin or /sbin or whichever a normal linux would put binary executables08:25
ChrisGibbsit seems to boot when installed but after updates I could not boot anymore08:26
chibongi know this is a simple question but what does flgrx mean08:26
MongooseWAhmm.. i dont understand why the "stable" version should cause this much trouble08:26
dr_pressurebulmer, yes i am constantly playing around with the iptables rules... i want to cross-compile a whole bunch of networking tools for it, but first i need to figure out how to write to flash08:26
bulmerdr_pressure, good luck man, and paste your hacks so we all can learn :)08:27
dr_pressurebulmer, cheers :)08:27
mikesssethk, i checked thoes log files they had nothing in them, and xorg.o.log wasnt there08:28

bulmermikess nothing in /varl/log/X*08:29

quantum_haxxj-dawg:  yea wine doors is a gui that gives you a list of commonly needed wine packages, and downloads and installs them if you tell it which packages you want09:49
dgjonesj-dawg, i'm not sure if its in the repo's, but have a look at this web page and search synaptic to make sure http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page09:49
mikessill try that09:49
quantum_haxxmikess: yea, because if it happens in knoppix too, i really don't know what could be wrong09:49

quantum_haxxmikess: quite a few:P  you can try Sidux (runs kdelite), OpenSuse doesnt have a liveCD, however might work, PuppyLinux, Xubuntu (in case it has to do with the gnome interface)09:51
quantum_haxxmikess: otherwise it's really just a test, so choose any distro you feel like trying09:52
DerangedDingoj-dawg: they're a ton of packages hosted on ubuntu servers, and a few programs in ubuntu (Synaptic, apt-get, Add/Remove, aptitude) fetch the packages from the server and install them09:52
mikessdoes apt-get work with any other distro?09:52
mikesscause i really like the easy packages :D09:52

jetscreameryou can chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm09:54

mikesswhat chmod value would i put to enable it again?09:56
jetscreamer+x09:56
jetscreamereXecutable09:56

bullgard4What does 'fg' for in the fgconsole command?10:02
quantum_haxxshnozzberrie: well, popularity just is how many times it was downloaded and installed.  If you need a specific tool, always best to go by the description of what you need it to do, and i don't actually know about any popularity ratings other than those in add/remove10:02

jmhodgeswhat th ehell am i missing?10:33
dgjonesdetedagowa, open a terminal window and run the command "dpkg --configure -a" thats what the update manager is saying you need to do10:33
detedagowaits needs a superuser10:33
neo__<detedagowa> then run sudo dpkg --configure -a10:34
dgjonesdetedagowa, in that case "sudo dpkg --configure -a" and enter your user password10:34

bazziebwhat is it then??11:21
insane_aliena GUI front end to iptables11:21
bazhangbazzieb: firestarter is just a front end for iptables--it does the job very well though--you should first read the docs however11:22
naxaI think it can be considered as a firewall then11:22
insane_alienindeed, iptables is an excellent firewall11:22
Tyczekfjrestarted js nhs11:22
Tyczekjust frontend11:22
insane_aliennaxa, firestarter on its own doesn't do anything11:22
Tyczekis*11:22
bazziebi got it working and assigning ip's11:23
insane_alienip tables on its own will11:23
insane_alientherefore firestarter isn't a fire wall11:23
bazziebbut then my HDD crashed and had to reload11:23
naxainsane_alien: yeah, i mean from the user's view, since iptables will be installed by default, it can be considered as a firewall11:23
bazziebnow it doesnt want to work as well as it was!!11:23
Tyczekinsane_alien, No, It's just the frontend. You can it just by editing iptables11:23
naxainsane_alien: even if it's not and actually a frontend only11:24

murchopus: I installed envy and then adjusted my settings through the nvidia panel you get11:39

naxa_moro_bana_: if there are no partitions on it, first you should add partitions, for example with "gparted". after you should add lines for the new hdd's partitions to /etc/fstab as root in a text editor (sudo gedit /etc/fstab). examples for fstab can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab . also maybe there is an easier way these days i don't know i always do it like this.11:41

Hj-Karim[nyelam]thanxs AnAnt, can u tell me what should i do/what line? thanxs11:43
naxa_moro_bana_: the basic idea is that you should mount any newly added partitions to some mount point. for example "mount /dev/hdd3 /media/disk3" would mount /dev/hdd3 (the 3rd partition of the "d" disk, which is the 4th (a,b,c,d)) to the directory /media/disk3 (/dev/hdd3 and /media/disk3 should both exist)11:43

AnAntHj-Karim[nyelam]: you are running gutsy, right ?11:43

db-keenwhy do feisty and gutsy need separate folders in an apt repository?12:52
andy_hello12:52
atoponcedb-keen: due to the different software12:53
andy_think12:53
andy_thanks12:53
PriceChilddb-keen, gutsy's have new versions of most htings, built for gutsy.12:53
PriceChilddb-keen, don't use gutsy sources on feisty... upgrade properly or not at all12:53
db-keenbut why do some third-party repositories still keep separate folders,12:53
db-keeneven when they are publishing new versions to all ubuntu releases12:53
Suvadb-keen: Because the dependencies are different12:54
PriceChilddb-keen, because sometimes they need to do seperate because of build deps12:54
Safiyyahhi all12:54
Suvadb-keen: Or may be different12:54
atoponcedb-keen: some people run feisty, some run gutsy12:54

atoponceMolePrince: yup12:56
SuvaSafiyyah: Are you using it over USB or does it have ethernet connection on it aswell?12:57
MolePrinceatoponce:  I'm having trouble getting myself to connect.  I've aded the ircd file in /etc/xinet.d/ but still connection refused.  Any ideas12:57

atoponceMolePrince: can you pastebin your /etc/xinet.d/bitlbee config?12:59

atoponceMolePrince: how are you trying to /connect?13:04
SuvaSafiyyah: Another page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem/SpeedTouch13:04

atoponceMolePrince: /connect localhost i assume?13:04
SuvaSafiyyah: Seems to contain about the same information13:04
db-keenI am trying to set up a general repository for programs written in Ruby, which may or may not have extensions requiring system-dependent compilation, but I don't see any point in having separate distribution folders. Why should dependencies be different from Debian stable to Ubuntu Gutsy to Ubuntu Feisty?13:04
Safiyyahok am looking it over13:05
MolePrinceatoponce:  That's correct, yes.13:05
SafiyyahSuva so wot does linux like for a modem?13:05
atoponcedb-keen: dependencies may be differing versions between feisty and gutsy. what works in gutsy may break in feisty13:05
Picidb-keen: Because the packages arent necessarily named the same across distributions13:05
MolePrinceatoponce:  Should I see a bitlbee process in ps ax if it's installed?13:05
SuvaSafiyyah: Some normal router kind of modems13:05
SuvaSafiyyah: Not USB13:05
atoponceMolePrince: no. it's running under the xinetd service13:06
balachmarHi, just updated to gutsy on this machine, but I lose my window decoration when turning on the desktop effects, how do I get them back?13:06
db-keenPici: is it common for packages to change names?13:06
SuvaI have some cable modem that does ethernet over USB, so it's a router kind of modem with USB :)13:06
MolePrinceatoponce:  AH, ok.  Any ideas what else I could check?13:06
MolePrinceatoponce:  Nmap doesn't show 6667 as a service fwiw13:06
SafiyyahSuva would that 'dislike' change my connection speed? cos I dont think i will be buying anymore stuff for a while now.... no money in the kitty13:07
Picidb-keen: Certantly across from debian to ubuntu, yes.13:07
atoponceMolePrince: i was just churning through netstat, to see that port 6667 is being bound13:07
MolePrinceatoponce:  I only show 25 and 80 bound on mine13:08
atoponceMolePrince: hmm. yeah. 0.0.0.0:6667 should be listed, otherwise, bitlbee isn't running13:10
MolePrinceatoponce: Got it!  I had service bitlbee instead of service ircd in the xinet.d/bitlbee file ><13:10
atoponceMolePrince: cool13:10

ikoniax9x: it's the same process as any livecd, you just need to update the drivers to the correct compatability versions13:52
ikoniaCal: do you have an ATI card ?13:52
Calikonia, no nvidia13:53
ikoniaCal: have you tried using the failsafe boot option ?13:53
murchahhh now i have the fear13:53
Calikonia, no not yet.  if that works what does that suggest?13:53
murchi need to look at resizing partitions, anyone got any suggestions on the easiest way to do this13:54
ikoniaCal: some later versions of video cards are not supported at the install cd, it is SUPPOSED to fall back to vesa in tht case, but with ati's I've seen it fail a fair ammount, you are the first potential nvidia user I've seen13:54
aramcan any one helo whuch linux is good choise for server i mean dhcp and routing tottaly act like win 2k313:54
ikoniaaram: anyone13:54

x9xyeah I have nividia too, but my friend maybe have ati, and I want it to be possible to run the cd (without intallation on harddisk) with 3D without having to type anythin on her part13:54
ikoniaaram: the desktop eddition would work well13:54
Calikonia, my video card is a geforce go 6150.13:55
ikoniaCal: I'm not aware of the specifics of that model13:55
ikoniax9x: you just need to include the drivers for you / your friend in the livecd you build13:55
aramikonia: i mean can i run dhcp , routing ,dns and some stuff like that ?13:55
th0raram none of them will act like windows server, but any would handle dhcp and routing (but not like w2k3)13:55
ikoniaaram: correct13:55

ikoniaubuntuisloved_: yes14:07
murchok whats the preferred option gparted bootcd or Ubuntu cd14:08
F-u-z-z-Yikonia, i used the livecd and installed ubuntu to the hd14:08
brobostigongksudo gedit /etc/fstab14:08
ubuntuisloved_ikonia: really cool how do you know whether its uptodate?14:08
ikoniamurch: as you are using ubuntu I would suggest the ubuntu cd as it will "know" your setup.14:08
chazcoHi... i've created a deb... just checking on the format of .desktop files (menu entry ones)... is it permissable to have an absolute path to an executable? e.g. /opt/some/dir/app14:08
ikoniaubuntuisloved_: it's the version that's in the repo14:08
=== chaky_ is now known as chaky
ikoniachazco: I don't see why not14:08
ubuntuisloved_ikonia: cool how do you load it up just command line?14:09
F-u-z-z-Ybrobostigon, thank you14:09
ikoniaubuntuisloved_: just drag it down from the repo and it appears in your menu14:09
chazcoikonia - Good, just checking... its finally finished now :D14:09
=== ngapaillard is now known as NicoTux2
chazcoWorks on KDE & Gnome too :)14:09

Jonny88hi, i'v got a ubuntu DVD from linux format magazine, and I want to install it onto a 1gb usb flash drive. How do I do minimal install? I'v read guides saying use the alternative CD (I dont have) and use 'custom' as a boot option, which isnt working for me. Any help?14:10
chazcoikonia - yep :) I've made other debs but the mime type stuff really threw me off14:10
ikoniaubuntuisloved_: I believe so14:10
ikoniaJonny88: you can't really strip it down like that at install time from the standard cd14:10
khamaelx-X-x: try #winehq for running .exe in linux/ubuntu14:10
perfectoravahi-daemon still tries to start itself even though i have disabled in system start-up scripts.. shld i disable it anywhere in config files??14:10
Jonny88Got the standard DVD, does that make a difference?14:11
x-X-xk14:11
ikoniaJonny88: not really14:11
dgjonesJonny88, you'd be better downloading the alternate cd from the ubuntu website14:11
Jonny88can't burn discs here14:11
chazcoJonny88 - Is this the 8GB multi-distro DVD in the Linux format with the gumball machine pic on the front by any chance?14:11
Jack_Sparrowikonia: I thought alt was included on DVD?14:11
ikoniaJack_Sparrow: depends on the version14:12
Jack_Sparrowikonia: Good to know.. thanks, and good morning14:12
Jonny88Its the double sided LXF DVD with suse 10.3 on the flip14:12
ikoniaJack_Sparrow: I think he's got the DVD from the front of a UK magazine14:12
menllyosis there some list of soundcards available somewhere that do work properly under ubuntu ?14:12
ikoniaJack_Sparrow: LFX is a magazine in the uk14:12

dgjonesJonny88, if you download the alternate cd and save the iso, you should be able to follow the instructions to setup a usb stick install, you shouldn't need to burn it to a cd14:12

xsavieri dont know wats the exact problem14:18
ubuntuisloved_what laptop is it ive got T61 cant remember the details on chipset14:18
Jack_SparrowUbuntuNeuling: I was not doubting you.  But I had made that mistake before.  What does sudo fdisk -l   show14:18
menllyoscan one assume that hardware working under older version of ubuntu also works under 7.10 (or 8.04) ?14:18
xsavierplease help me in this regard14:18
white_eaglehow can I download the java runtime enviroment, because when I go to sun microsys. they offer only a rpm package14:18
ikoniamenllyos: 8.04 is unstable so nothing can be assumed14:18
F-u-z-z-YXintruder: I use a nvidia 7300 in my laptop. Its listed in the restricted drivers but i have no real probs using it14:18
ikoniawhite_eagle: use the sun package the ubuntu repo's14:19
menllyosi know, but for future usage ... :)14:19
pike_white_eagle: search for jre sun in synaptic14:19
ikoniawhite_eagle: or use the tar file installer from sun (not recommended)14:19
Guillemmenllyos, should, but, check with the live CD... prior to do anything.14:19

ikoniaXintruder: stop asking every 30 seconds14:19
ikoniaoops14:19

ikoniaxsavier  stop asking every 30 seconds14:19
ljsmithxok im back14:19
Xintruderikonia: excuse me?14:19
ikoniaXintruder: typo, not meant for you, apologies14:20
pike_xsavier: im not sure what ubiquity is but if you just want to create a new partition not resize an old one you can use gparted or sudo cfdisk /dev/sda  <-- or whatever partition also fdisk14:20
pike_xsavier: gparted will resize also14:20
ljsmithxIf When I right-click on my desktop and goto change wallpaper, the appearance menu doesn't respond :'(14:20
ljsmithxanyone help?14:20
bazhangxsavier: are you doing a new install? please be precise14:20
Guillemubuntuisloved_, enabling nvidia for desktop-effects has some tricks14:21
ljsmithxhow do I go about fixing a problem like this?14:21
F-u-z-z-Yubuntuisloved: no, but i had to change the software source to enable the driver first, before i could enable the driver, then enable desktop effects. Desktops effects are set on the highest and i have no real problems. Sometimes they dont stop wobbling, lol but u just need to minize them, and maximum then again14:21
ubuntuisloved_Guillem: im all ears for help on any tutorial?14:21
ljsmithx:(14:21
Guillemubuntuisloved_, you have to get rid of xserver-XGL, you have to enable the proprietary driver, you have to enable some options at xorg.conf,14:22
Jack_Sparrowljsmithx: SInce it normally should.. what did you recently install or do that may have caused the problem.  And, have you ever run automatix or envy scripts.. Both bad ideas.14:22
ljsmithxoo14:22
F-u-z-z-YI have a Nvidia 7300 tho, Xintuder has a 7400 (i think)14:22
ljsmithxI have automatix installed14:22
ikonia!automatix | ljsmithx14:22
ubuntuisloved_Guillem:cant u post me a tutorial14:22
ubotuljsmithx: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe »14:22
white_eaglethanks ikonia14:22
ljsmithxdid that break it?14:22
UbuntuNeulingOk he says 20.0 GB, 20000268288 bytes14:22
ljsmithxohh dear14:22
bazhangljsmithx: automatix? uh oh14:22
Jack_Sparrowljsmithx: Yes you broke it.. fresh install is the way to go14:22
Guillemubuntuisloved_, and depending on your hardware you have to enable some options for the nvidia-kernel-driver....14:22
ljsmithxuninstall?14:22
ikonialjsmithx: we do not support systems that have ever used automatix14:22
ikonialjsmithx: no - clean ubuntu install only14:23
ljsmithxok then14:23
ljsmithx?14:23
ljsmithxaww14:23
ikonialjsmithx: you need to re-install ubuntu14:23
pike_ljsmithx: sorry just too many variables14:23
Guillemubuntuisloved_, I'm not sure, since I've been evolving from long time ago...14:23
ljsmithxso i wont ever be able to get help ever?14:23
ljsmithxthats just crap14:23
Guillemubuntuisloved_, first step is to ensure you have the propietary driver working.14:23
Jack_Sparrowljsmithx: Nope14:23
ikonialjsmithx: not until you re-install ubuntu14:23
ljsmithx:'(14:23
* bazhang wonders what the attraction of automatix/envy is14:23
ubuntuisloved_Guillem: how do i do this14:23
elkbuntubazhang, lemmings14:23
ikonialjsmithx: thats not "crap" that was your choice using tools created by people who are nothing to do with ubuntu14:23
ljsmithxok then14:24
ljsmithxsorry14:24
Jack_Sparrowljsmithx: We had a whole series of people with automatix related problems last night14:24
ljsmithxI just heard about automatix and thought it was a good idea14:24
UbuntuNeulingSo Jack_Sparrow du you have another idea? because this comand gave 20.0 GB, 20000268288 bytes back. I dont understand that because the bios says 200gb14:24
pike_ljsmithx: there is an automatix channel i think14:24
bazhangelkbuntu: seems that way :}14:24
pike_ljsmithx: nm, i guess there isnt. you can always run gparted to resize you hd and create free space then install a new install of uubntu to that so you dont lose your current OS14:25
Jack_SparrowUbuntuNeuling: Something is up... WOuld it be possible for you to get the gparted stand alone cd 50 meg dl  and see what it shows for your drive14:25
xoqacan someone help me get an internet connection on ubuntu 7.10?14:25

ljsmithxxoqa, don't spam14:25
Guillemubuntuisloved_, ideally, the restricted-modules-manager should show you the way14:25
bazhangxoqa: wired or wireless14:26

jribLuCypher: pastebin what happens when you try14:26
xoqaF-u-z-z-Y: wired14:26
LjLljsmithx: if you really don't want to reinstall, then remove automatix and everything related, then install debsums and run "sudo debsums -g | grep -v OK", and for each file that doesn't match the sums, reinstall the corresponding package (« sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename »)14:26
ubuntuisloved_Guillem: should i remove that other package first?14:26

bazhangxoqa: your ethernet does not work? is this gutsy? can you access the computer now?14:26
Guillemubuntuisloved_, not necessary. You need to have working the nvidia proprietary driver prior to any other thing.14:27
F-u-z-z-Yxoqa, do you get an ip address from plugging a ethernet cable in?14:27
Guillemubuntuisloved_, that step is mandatory14:27

LjL!dialup > anubis_    (anubis_, see the private message from Ubotu)14:28
bazhangxoqa: this is computer you are using now? with another os?14:28
pike_x9x: er drop the plugin that is in the tar.gz14:28
Jack_SparrowLjL Wouldn't it take longer to do that than reinstall.?  And good morning..14:28
x9xpike_, ok14:28
xoqabazhang: it's another computer, mine. i just got it in the other day. it's a thinkpad t4114:28
LjLJack_Sparrow, i really don't think so14:28
Guillemubuntuisloved_, as I told you, ideally, System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager14:29
ubuntuisloved_Guillem: do you recommend Envy?14:29
bazhangxoqa: can you turn it on an type lspci in the terminal on it and tell (not paste in the channel) what the ethernet card is for that thinkpad--no need to connect at this point14:30
Guillemubuntuisloved_, nope14:30
dgjonesThat advice about Autom-tix possible repair sounds like it should be added to the factoid as a "You may be able to repair using this method...." option14:30
Guillemubuntuisloved_, I recommend the ubuntu packages already available at the repositories.14:30
TuxOtakuhey guys...I'm having some trouble starting FVWM-Crystal14:30
LjLJack_Sparrow: there are still risks that stuff will remain installed, doing it the way i proposed... changes in files in /etc for instance, or stuff installed in /opt or /usr/local... but it's certainly not slower than reinstall in most circumstances14:30

Drixxcan't mount my external to my laptop ...14:48
iNtERrUpTGuillem, ... how can i do fix it -_-; help me plz14:48
Drixxcan't mount my external to my laptop ...14:48
dfault312@Drixx: what happens when you try14:48
luksmannmy intel 3945 wlan card cant connect to my AP as long as I am in my room. as soon as i move about 5m towards the AP the card connects fine and the connection remains stable, even if I move away again. it's only the inital connection that is buggy14:49
Drixxit says ... " cant mount " try force mount or add a command to /etc/.. n14:49
Jack_SparrowLuCypher: You can purge it, but my concern is the corrupt *.exe cab files... this problem is the tip of the iceberg14:49
dfault312can anyone help me find the boot logs for my LTSP thin client?14:50
dfault312@Drixx: im not sure14:50
Jack_SparrowLuCypher: Are you running the repo version of wine or an upgraded version14:50

Drixxto /etc/fstab14:51
Drixxdfault312: to /etc/fstab14:51
GuillemiNtERrUpT, you are executing like this: "vncserver :10", OK?14:51
Drixxdfault312: how do i do that ?? ..14:51
iNtERrUpTGuillem, it seems yes, but log file:14:52
iNtERrUpTFatal server error:14:52
iNtERrUpTcould not open default font 'fixed'14:52
GuillemiNtERrUpT, in synaptic, I can see :vncserver, vnc4server and xtightvncserver; try installing each one and see if any of them works14:52
dfault312drixx: go to the terminal and type "sudo gedit /etc/fstab"14:52
gvsa123what do i have to install to play vcd's?14:52
DrixxOdd-rationale : u there ??14:52
iNtERrUpToh, thx. i'll try it.14:53
dfault312drixx: then add that command into the file14:53
GuillemiNtERrUpT, some of the vncserver do read your xorg.conf to locate the fonts, other do not AFAIK14:53
Drixxdfault312: ..kk14:53
dfault312drixx: im not sure if that will work14:53
Drixxi tried ...14:53
iNtERrUpTGuillem, oh ic. thx.14:53
Jack_Sparrowdfault312: would you not use gksudo for gedit as it is a gui app14:53
Drixxdfault312: but where in that file ??14:53
dfault312drixx: did you do a restart after you added that line?14:53
GuillemiNtERrUpT, you can see if your xorg.conf is OK, by launcing "xload -fn fixed" and see if it shows a simmilar error14:53
alephantHi all14:53
dfault312drixx: where is which file?14:53
Drixxit does'nt add ...14:53
iNtERrUpTGuillem, i'll try it :D thx14:54
alephantI've got a somewhat difficult question about releases and package versions:14:54

ubotuPlease 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. :-)14:54
alephantI didn't ask-to-ask... I began my question in a civilized way.14:54
GuillemiNtERrUpT, if shows an error, check you have a Section "Files" in your xorg.conf  with several FontPath entries starting with /usr/share/fonts/X1114:54
bazhangalephant: what is the issue14:55
alephanttrying to get to it14:55
iNtERrUpT...14:55
Jack_SparrowThe point is.. feel free to ask your question.. all on one line.. no lead in is needed.14:55
iNtERrUpTthe section "files" is empty14:55

Drixxdfault312: kk ... thnx dude ...14:56
LuCypherJack_Sparrow :  Sorry... I was googling... I have no wine installed, but I don't think it's needed, it uses cabextract to install fonts14:56
dfault312can anyone help me find the boot logs for my thin client?14:57
alephantI want to install Release Foo.  After it's installed, I want packages bar and baz, plus all of their dependencies.  Is there any way, without manually specifying exact versions, to guarantee that I will get identical versions of those packages, regardless of how many updates to that Release have been made?14:57
alephantThat is, without maintaining my own non-updating package repository.14:57
iNtERrUpTGuillem, oh, thx. i've fixed.14:57
GuillemiNtERrUpT, nice!14:57
iNtERrUpTxorg.org, section "files" was empty.14:57
iNtERrUpTthx.14:57
gvsa123totem is saying that it needs a vcd protocol source plugin to be able to play vcd's. what do i have to install from synaptic?14:58
Jack_Sparrowalephant: So you want an install that you can lock down.. Is that the basic concept?14:58
bazhangalephant: what packages are you talking about?14:58
alephantNot so much locking down the install, but guaranteeing that a subsequent install four months later will be identical to the original.14:58
newUsersudo apt-get install vlc :)14:59
LuCypherrajasun,  thanks it worked14:59
dfault312can anyone help me find the boot logs for my thin client?14:59
alephantbazhang: there are many.  mod_python is the specific offender: it's currently broken in Feisty but wasn't at Feisty's release >:-|14:59
rajasunLuCypher: np14:59
GuillemiNtERrUpT, nevertheless, you can enable the :0 vnc at either gnome/KDE... in gnome is called "remote desktop" in the preferences menu...14:59
rajasunLuCypher: trick saved me many times b4 in similar situations. most handy ;)15:00
donkdonkhow do you set the run level for various deamons? i am used the the chkconfig command on red hat.15:00
Jack_Sparrowalephant: I would think the dpkg list would give you the exact same setup... but I still think you will end up having to maintain your own mirror..  There is aptoncd that works quite well.15:00
Jack_Sparrowbrb15:00
iNtERrUpTGuillem, oh ic. thx you're so kind.15:00
LuCypherrajasun : I'll add it to my how-tos docs15:01
bazhangalephant: the part I'm wondering about is the guarantee; there are so many variables there that it seems tough to guarantee--what would be the end goal of this? to clone it to another box? or something else15:01
GuillemiNtERrUpT, you obviously don't know me, Muhaaahaaaa15:01
bazhanglol Guillem15:01
rajasunLuCypher: LOL. k.15:01
iNtERrUpT:D15:01
ascIs there an easy way to check whether I'm running 32 or 64-bit?15:02
ljsmithxok guys15:02
ljsmithxi've uninstalled automatix15:02
ljsmithxwhat now?15:02
asc(I know which it is, I just need to be able to check...)15:02
bazhangasc: cant recall what you downloaded?15:02
Guillemasc, you can check the binaries: file /usr/bin/some_binary15:02
alephantThe ultimate goal is to have a production system that we know works.  When I install from a CD I know it won't be different each time I do it, but if I then add packages from Canonical, the versions may increment over time.15:03
Jack_Sparrowalephant: Ok,  back.. nature called15:03
Guillemasc, also uname -a shows the arch15:03
Guillemasc, but won't work as you expect within a 32bit chroot....15:03
aladdinsanewhy do i have to be superuser to mount this drive:15:03
aladdinsaneUUID /media/Xp        ntfs     user,noauto,rw  0      015:03
aladdinsaneand not this one:15:03
aladdinsaneUUID /media/Hdd2        ext3     user,noauto,rw  0      015:03
ascIt works in this case. Thanks.15:03
alephantSo I guess it boils down to the fact that I'm installing from CD and then adding packages from Canonical's repos, without explicitly requesting versions.15:04
ljsmithxaww15:04
donkdonkaladdinsane: /media/Xp/ is not in the fstab15:04
bazhangalephant: aptoncd sounds the safest bet; otherwise you might consider commercial support from canonical15:04
ljsmithxthe thing is that its only the appearance menu that goes funnyt15:04
Guillemaladdinsane, probably because ntfs needs fuse to access rw (Idon't know really since I do not ntfs at all)15:04
ljsmithxNO other window does it15:04
Guillemaladdinsane, I'm talking based on hearings...15:04
Jack_Sparrowalephant: I would use a dvd and put all of my var/cache/apt/archives on it as part of the install and lock down the sources list to my cd or dvd.. the concern are the security updates...15:04
Tyczekasc, getconf LONG_BIT15:05
aladdinsanedonkdonk: what do u mean? that was acopy from fstab15:05
donkdonkthis should be an easy question to answer. how do you set the run level for various deamons? i am used the the chkconfig command on red hat.15:05
GuillemTyczek, wow15:05
alephantWhat I wish for is a "tag" within a distro... ``-t feisty'' but without pulling in updates since the release.15:05
TyczekGuillem, ?15:05
bazhangljsmithx: you uninstalled automatix? there may still be problems associated with it, and afaik automatix is not supported here15:05
ljsmithxso how do i fix it? i want to change things but cant15:05
alephantdonkdonk update-rc.d15:05
GuillemTyczek, I didn't know that trick. Interesting!15:05
donkdonkaladdinsane: then it should be automaticly mounting at boot...15:05
ljsmithxDAMN YOU AUTOMATIX!15:06
TyczekGuillem, magic ;p15:06
GuillemTyczek, smart + elegant15:06
bazhangcaps ljsmithx15:06
aladdinsanedonkdonk: as u see i have set it to noauto, and that was not my question15:06
Jack_Sparrowljsmithx: You KNOW the answer...15:06
GuillemTyczek, getconf is linux-only ?15:06
ljsmithxI do, but I might go for Mint15:06
donkdonkaladdinsane: ok, the answer is you always have to be root to mount anything15:06
ljsmithxso I don't have to download the codecs and stuff again15:07
TyczekGuillem, dunno, but in 99 % yes ;p15:07
dgjonesaladdinsane, this is my mount for an ntfs partition - UUID= /media/windows        ntfs    defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0       1, maybe that will help15:07
Jack_Sparrowljsmithx: Just so you know.. Mint ships with Envy.. similar to automatix.. and Mint has little or no support.. check it out first..15:07
bazhangljsmithx: not a wise choice; mint is loads slower than ubuntu; but to each his own good luck!15:07
ljsmithxI just don't understand what automatix has done to break my appearance menu15:07
alephantdonkdonk: you *don't* have to be root to mount; root can allow users to mount specific devices in /etc/fstab15:07
hk2999how do i add a shared network folder to exaile? rhythmbox can do it though.15:07
ljsmithxOk guys, I have found my ubuntu install disk15:08
aladdinsanedonkdonk: no thats not true, as i said, i can mount the first drive without a problem, isn't that what the "user" command does in fstab?15:08
Jack_Sparrowljsmithx: Read the link under automatix.. it explains how it breaks your system and why it is so hard to fix15:08

brobostigongvsa123: no idea, but vlc definatly plays vcds.15:12
aladdinsaneastabeno: 3dfg? well, i pesonally think this must be a simple issue to solve, i mean if i use auto instead of noauto in fstab it mounts perfectly at boot up15:12

luksmannbazhang: did not find anybody with exactly the same problem - some people experienced strange things with the intel 3945 chip but nothing like that15:50
pike_hugoooo: temperature issue maybe? that would typically be a setting in bios like max temp before force shutdown15:50
pike_hugoooo: other than temp i dunno15:50
hugoooopike_, do you think that's a problem in bios so?15:50
newUseryuhuuu15:50
bazhangluksmann: i suggest the router because I have the same intel 3945 and it is not problematic--best supported card out there iirc15:51
pike_hugoooo: well.. the setting may be in bios but is suppose the overheating problem could be specific to the OS15:51

ubotucomodo: 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 !Gnash15:51
pike_hugoooo: there are applets you can install to monitor temp and cpu id try to install one from synaptic see what it says15:51
ubotuThe 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.15:51
luksmannbazhang: might be a promising idea - strange thing is that it works as soon as I get near enough to the router. just the inital connection15:52

sluimersthere it is16:17
Dr_willisI though the ld.so.conf file had a list of lib paths  to search16:17
DRebellioneSPyeL: if its a critical machine, then why did you mess around with it in the first place?16:17
neverbluesluimers, thats the output from ?16:18

Lukaszhellp16:18
neverbluesluimers, been having sound issues for a long time ?16:18
eSPyeLDRebellion: because the partition was full, i was going to move it to another partition then create a symlink to point to the new location16:18
erUSULsluimers: and alsamixer fails too?16:18
sluimersno, I was asking for help in here, I had a different sound issue, last advice gave me this sound problem, but I had to leave for a couple of of hours16:19
sluimershad... probably still have16:19
sluimersalsamixer runs.. no problem there16:19
neverbluesluimers, please answer the question16:20
atoponceeSPyeL: /lib is essential system binaries. if your partition is full, then you need to figure out where the space is being taken up and properly administrate. moving random dirs not knowing what they are or how to fix it is the right way to go about things16:20
=== root_ is now known as jvargas
jvargashi16:20
atoponces/is the right way/is NOT the right way/16:20
sluimersI answered both your questions, output? = alsaplayer  longtime? = no16:20
newUser@sluimers maybe the kernel doesnt support your sound card16:20
erUSULsluimers: then it seems that other app is locking the sound device...16:20
jvargashow can i adjust the date in ubuntu from command line and without rebooting?16:21
atoponceeSPyeL: your only option at this point is booting into a rescue environment, such as a livecd16:21
neverbluesluimers, logout, then back in again, then just run alsaplayer, see if you get the same error16:21
sluimersnewUser, impossible it worked for a longtime, I got this problem after installing another app16:21
jvargasalready used tzconfig to set my timezone, but it is still not update when i execute `date`16:21

DRebellionhey, i've got a dell flatscreen lcd monitor. When I boot ubuntu and the splash screen is supposed to show, my monitor simply displays a message that it can't display that video resolution/feed or something. Same thing happens when i shutdown and the splash screen is meant to show.17:01
ikoniaDRebellion: your framebuffer is displaying at a non-support mode17:01
DRebellioneverything in between is alright17:01
jveappreciate it, it doesn't seem to bad on my ibook g4 - i am trying to get wifi working next17:01
DRebellionikonia: can i configure it to display at 1024x768 60hz ?17:01
ikoniaDRebellion: change your /boot/grub/menu.lst file to include the boot line "vga=ask" then try the available modes, find one you like and change VGA=$the_mode_you_like17:02
brobostigonjve: depending on he chipset, it can be easy17:02

Mik1hi folks, I'm having trouble regarding themes with ubuntu 7.10 - I switched to anonther theme (peachy-clean) from gnome-art. After that, the windows had no titles etc anymore and the menu-panel was lacking. Thus i couldn't switch back. So I restarted X, but the problems did remain. I therefore used "metacity --replace" to switch to metacity because I thought this would help. Actually this didn't help much, but at least I got an error message sayi17:48

R|2|D^TRAPI've got a general question about the ubuntu versions: I've an AMD 64 X2 CPU, I know there is a amd64 version available but I'm not sure if this installs a native 64bit OS or just a 32bit OS optimized for amd64 concerning the kernel18:30
ubotuTo 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 !Gnash18:30
panfistshadow147 i know, but this website wants to install a addon or plugin or whatever that it claims is incompatible with ubuntu18:30
ubotuThe 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.18:30

Redhammer_the_A_kaboombob what irc are you using18:54
nickrud_moro_bana_: one more thing, just to be sure about where we are: type   mount  , and paste that18:54
th0rnephex there is a chance maybe to fix it. You normally do not reinstall linux...you fix it18:54
Redhammer_the_A_what version of ubuntu are you using18:54
bluefoxxLjL: for me i equate cached memory to redieing an action, as if i were playing DND >.>18:54
Redhammer_the_A_have you tried plugging the player in and using amarok to connect to it ?18:54
LjLbluefoxx: sorry but you aren't making much sense... your computer is being slow and you're blaming that on the RAM (and possibly the fact that some of it is used as cache), because...?18:54
pike_bluefoxx: the usage reported by 'free' and such doesnt really mean that an app needs that ram its kinda precaching it so often it isnt what is slowing your system down18:54
nephex7.10 i think18:55
LjLbluefoxx: i don't know what you're talking about. in that context, "cached" memory means memory used as a file cache.18:55

nickrud_moro_bana_: ok, I have two files. One is a new menu.lst for grub on the original partition, so it will boot your new partition. The second is the new /etc/fstab for the new partition19:05
SANTAbiosok when i restart ununut i have a blinking cursor at the top right of the screen for like 10 seconds before it loads, any ideas?19:05

Jack_SparrowVolkodav: I need to ask , since we have seen a lot of odd problems recently.. and many of the people having problems had used automatix.. a bad idea by the way19:06
bluefoxxgrekkos: i think so, but should still work without doing that[it has for me]19:06

Safiyyahhi all. i burnt myubuntu  CD as a data disk + it doesnt load at start up20:23
jaggycan anyone give me a decent explanation of how to configure compiz ? :s i searched the web and i don't get any of the things explained there :s20:23
Safiyyahnow wot?20:23
blackjaxis performing nightly backups of one hard drive to another, on linux, an easily feasible task20:23
Dr_willisblackjax,  very feasible20:23
Dr_willisrsync  in a cron job is one way.20:23
blackjaxi'm talking a literaly copy though, so that if one hdd failed, i could boot off the other20:24
kxbxhey all20:24
blackjaxi can't setup raid 120:24
Dr_willisblackjax,  dd can do exact copies..20:24
mribas6666666666620:24
blackjaxthanks, Dr_willis20:24
blackjaxlast Q20:24
Trampgeminidomino: have you tried running ifup with the --verbose option?20:25
blackjaxif hd1 fails, and hd2 is my exact copy. how would you go about saying "now load off of hd2" haha20:25
Dr_willisblackjax,  you could set up a grub entry to boot either one .20:25
Safiyyahgosh is any20:25
mribasnot20:25
Safiyyahany1 2 help me20:25
geminidominoTramp: I'll try that.20:25
blackjaxgrub is bios-side?20:25
blackjaxso that if hd1 fails it's okie dokes20:26
kxbxwhat is it safiyyah?20:26
Dr_willisblackjax,  I think ya got some reading up to do on linux basics. :) and grub.20:26
nickrudSafiyyah: you have to burn it as an iso, that's a coaster you have (except maybe for reference)20:26
blackjaxokie20:26
blackjaxthanks Dr_willis20:26
Safiyyahkxbx> i downloaded the VCD and DVD version too20:26
geminidominoTramp: Will --force be safe if I use -n? or does --force override -n?20:26
Dr_willisblackjax,  you could always just tell the bios to boot the other hd.20:26
dreitechhi everyone.. can someone help me? I'm quite new to Linux.20:26
Dr_willisblackjax,  or remove the bad. and swap cables20:26
Safiyyahkxb> I wanted to install the DVD version but anyway20:26
blackjaxtrue, thanks again Dr_willis20:26
blackjaxi appreciate your help20:26
SafiyyahI cant get the VCD to work20:26
Safiyyahat all20:27
Trampgeminidomino: no idea. I'd expect force to take precedence - but the manpage doesn't tell20:27
SafiyyahI just burnt it as a data disk20:27
stathishello20:27
geminidominohm... it says it's running it...20:27
stathisi am new is anyone that can help me?20:27
kxbxmmm20:27
kxbxFCS20:28
geminidominoThis is nuts...20:28
nickrudSafiyyah: and that's the problem. if you mount it in windows and see only one file, the iso, then you burned it wrong and must burn as an iso. infrarecorder is a free windows burner that will do the job20:28
Safiyyahkbx> I tried doing it as a burnt image but that actually didnt go on the disk it went on the HDD20:28

WebspotHey. I'm having problems with the built in microphone on my laptop. It doesn't seem to pick up any sound in any sound recording apps. I've set the recording input to Mic, but it doesn't seem to connect up20:28
_moro_bana_nickrud:  it did not show on the grub menu20:28
geminidominoWebspot: Is this on an intel on-board audio by any chance?20:28
bildpunkthey i have 6 virtual desktops. how can i stick windows to one desktop so they do not overlap to another desktop (when they are opened)20:28
Webspotgeminidomino: Yes, I believe it is20:28
nickrud_moro_bana_: the Drive 2 stuff we added didn't show?20:29
geminidominoWebspot: Had the same problem... trying to remember the fix... Involved switching the input channels in the sound applet I beleive20:29
Shapeshifter_i have a really funny problem. i can't use the ctrl, alt and shift keys anymore. besides of that, e.g. if i click on any menus in opera the will disappear immediatly if i release the mouse button. or e.g. if i click on the kickoff menu the upper menu entry flickers. or i can't just hold a button to have it act multiple times. e.g. i have to write aaaaaaa i have to press a multiple times, i can't just hold it down.20:29

itch_Hello guys. I`m trying to connect to wireless router in my apartment that is configured to use DHCP and WPA encryption. From what i`ve read around the forums, there seem to be a problem when using DHCP and WPA. Is there any fix to the problem ?20:29
Shapeshifter_and this is, since i pressed alt-f2 to disable wireless. i just installed the ipw3945 package as the iwl3945 didnt work ar all, and now the wlan actually works, but my keyboard is messed up. i already had this once with the other driver....20:29
Webspotgeminidomino: I'll have a look around there. Thanks.20:29

jugheadbillenium, it's possible20:31
Trampitch_: I can't see, what should be the problem with WPA (Layer2) and dhcp (Layer3) - can you give a reference to which problems you refer?20:31
_moro_bana_nickrud: ok20:31
mneptokdreitech: i'd prefer being asked about PMs before receiving them20:31
billeniumjughead: erm, thanks?20:31
bundagani just installed a gforce mx4000, and using synaptic i installed nvidia-glx; but i am only getting 400fps in glxgears, what gives? should i have installed nvidia-glx-new instead?20:32
Dr_willisbillenium,  i would not buy ati - if you want best linyux sypport20:32
mneptokdreitech: you can know if the card is supported by looking online at what devices/chipsets the Linux kernel supports20:32
Webspotgeminidomino: Nah. Nothing in the sound applet, that seems to fix it.20:32
mneptokdreitech: if it's a wireless card with a Broadcom chipset, good luck.20:32

nickrud_moro_bana_: so replace the /boot/grub/menu.lst in that one with http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51245/ , that way it will see both partitions20:35
mneptokRufus: that's not an OS error. it's an eggdrop configuration problem.20:35
Dr_willisRufus,  could be the port is in use.20:35

dreitechmneptok, I'm totally forgot the model but I'm referring to a pci wireless card for an old laptop.20:38
flipmodemneptok: i just started asking five minutes ago and there is noone in that irc20:38
Trampitch_: having both wired and wireless at the same time in the same subnet is troublesome for the routing anyways and hard to debug.20:38
mneptokdreitech: your question is basically "i want to drive 300mph."  "you should see if your car supports that."  "it's an Oldsmobile."20:39
th0rmneptok who are you and why are you being a pain20:39
mneptokdreitech: "it's a d-link." is nowehere near enough information to help you.20:39
flipmodethor: i do agree20:39
itch_Tramp,  there are 2 different internet connetions. Not on the same subnet.20:39
mneptokflipmode: there are a ton of people in #kubuntu20:39
Dr_willisthe CHIPSET of a card is more imporntant then the brand/company20:40
Jefohi!20:40
mneptokflipmode: which you now know, as you just /join'ed :)20:40
Trampitch_: well, then probably the default-GW switches, for some reason, to the not working wireless - but that would imply that dhcp works.20:40
Safiyyahis  any1 going to help me with this CD problem or what?20:40
Dr_willisive also seen exact identical  wireless cards that have different chipsets.. because the silly company changed the specs.. but just called one a version 1.2, and the other radically differetn card was a version 1.3 :)20:40

itch_Tramp, i don`t require to use the bouth connections as the same time.20:41
jaggycan anyone give me a decent explanation of how to configure compiz ? :s i searched the web and i don't get any of the things explained there :s20:41
th0rSafiyyah well I just got here and don't know what your problem is, but if you keep that attitude...no20:41
dreitechmneptok: yeah., i got your point. i'd go check the shop tomorrow for the exact model number. Should I then cross check it with the linux kernel throught the INternte?20:41

th0rfallore the file in /etc/apt called sources.list is the list of repositories that synaptic uses to find packages. The pastebin url I sent contains a copy of my sources.list, which includes a repo that has fusesmb. You would need to make a backup copy of your /etc/apt/sources.list and then create a new one with the contents I sent.20:59

arooni-mobilehow do i list all files in a directory and get the date they were created (not modified)?21:01
nickrudSafiyyah: ok, see you21:01

Safiyyahnickrud, time to shoot windows..... the infrared wont work. I have been having trouble with installations it keeps telling me exe files are corrupted or commited illegal actions NOT just for this21:02
Tramparooni-mobile: the creation date is not stored.21:02
th0rfallore you need to use 'sudo' to edit system files.21:02
arooni-mobileTramp, is there any way to change that21:02
fallorei was just opening it with gedit, should i sudo gedit it from terminal then?21:02
th0rfallore open a terminal and type 'gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list'21:03

nickrudth0r: you can change what gksu uses with gksu-properties, but it defaults to sudo backend21:04
th0rStarnestommy  might be that....I created a script for gksu cause I use both ubuntu and suse, one uses gksu the other gnomesu, so I scripted them both <smile>21:04

th0rFingel if you want to use X forwarding in windows you are going to have to run Xming at the same time21:19

JordiGHmaguko: Of course not, because madwifi uses non-free software, so it's entirely possible that your system is locking up and there's no way to find out why. :-(22:25
TonKifallore: you can autocomplete with tab (folder files commands)22:26
swanbergDWSR2: yes, I know that. I mean, do I use apt-get? And if so, how? Doesn't it default to it's own distribution?22:26

_moro_bana_Jack_Sparrow: do you work here22:52
AeleonOk, semantics question: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD When it says "File contains only these lines", does that mean it *should* contain only these lines? Or it really does contain just that, and needs to be edited accordingly?22:52
^A^kiracvslockd uses 90+% of cpu and google doesn't help me, some1 moght know what the problem is?22:52
ikoniaAeleon: when what says "file contains 3 lines"22:52
^A^kira*might22:52
Jack_Sparrowthedoc2097: There should be some info on using lilo..  It installed on this system once when I installed a distro that included it...  So I know it will work.  Just not how to get there22:53
Aeleonhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD This FAQ mentions options files that I imagine I should be aware of i.22:53
Jack_Sparrow_moro_bana_: Im here alot.. I would not call it a job.. How may I help you22:53
Aeleonand it says "File contains these lines", and quotes some code.22:53
thedoc2097Ah, that´s a good idea, i install a distro containing lilo, but which distro22:53
nickrudSmoothOp: mt64xx series, some very generic hardware on that on22:54
Muskratnalioth, I also can't update ubuntu.  the update doesn't work.  lol so many problems...22:54

ikoniaAeleon: I'm not actually sure what your asking. Can you be specific22:54
Jack_Sparrowthedoc2097: Knoppix I think stil uses it22:54
AeleonDid you open the link I gave you twice now? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD22:54
manicnerdWhat does it mean when negative bars appear on my display (above the window switcher and trash can) and sometimes by my mouse?  i cant screenshot them because they dont appear on the image22:54
ikoniaAeleon: I've not opened it yet, no22:54
thedoc2097jack Sparrow: I have a knoppix live cd, but i think this won´t help22:54
neverblueAeleon, ask your direct question please22:55
DWSR2aladdinsane: because the ntfs drivers require the use of root privs, unless you configure them otherwise. I'm assuming you're using NTFS-3g?22:55
twavisdegwetmnicnerd: if u can't screenshot them it's probably ur monitor22:55
^A^kira<manicnerd> if u have ATI card try to reinstall drivers22:55
manicnerdits a brand new laptop22:55
nickrudthedoc2097: you can install lilo from the repos.22:55
ikoniaAeleon: I'm looking at it now, but there are lots of lines and examples, please ask a specific question22:55
thedoc2097nickrud: repos?22:55
twavisdegwetmanicnerd: ouch well not sure then22:55
AeleonRight. In those examples, it says "File Contains Only These Lines".22:55
manicnerd^A^kira: any suggestions on how to do it?22:55
Jack_Sparrow!lilo22:55
ubotulilo is an alternative [Li]nux Boot[Lo]ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead.22:55
manicnerdit is an ATI card and this didnt happen before i updated to the new drivers22:56
AeleonWhat am I supposed to do with that? Make sure my files contain the same lines? Or is that an indication that there's something I should be editing?22:56
neverblueAeleon, question, please22:56
manicnerdbut no one is reporting this problem22:56
nickrudthedoc2097: sudo apt-get install lilo , the repos are the repository of software22:56
ikoniaAeleon: so the file /etc/ppp/options contains lock #debug is what your asking about22:56
Aeleonneverblue, THis is the fourth iteration of this question.22:56
twavisdegwet!2wire22:56
ubotuSorry, I don't know anything about 2wire - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi22:56

=== ^A^kira is now known as ^A^way
neverblueAeleon, and nothing, it clearly tells you that file will have those lines22:57

DWSR2!ntfs-3g22:57

nickrudthedoc2097: yeah, they did that to avoid trademark infringment :)22:57
Aeleonneverblue: so there's nothing I should be doing to those lines, as indicated by the FAQ, right?22:57
Muskratnalioth, what server window?  I did the update thing, and it doesn't work22:57
AeleonIkonia & neverblue: I just wanted to make sure I'm not missing something.22:57
ikoniaAeleon: no, the howto is telling you thats what they should contain22:57
aladdinsaneDWSR2: do i need that in gutsy? i never did anything and it always worked, exept this manual mount thing22:57
naliothMuskrat: your irc clients server window22:57
neverblueAeleon, no one has any idea of what your trying to do, thats why we ask you to repeat22:57
WinShadewill freedos run an exe made for windows?22:57
DWSR2no. it's automatically installed and used in gutsy.22:58
ikoniaWinShade: no, it's dos, not windows22:58

KlrSpzBSG75: yeah that's not that fast to begin with23:07
neverblueAeleon, not having the knowledge to check permissions on a file/folder is a basic skill required in linux, i suggest you give the URL a good read, sorry if that appeared to be rude23:07
debatem1klrspz: you should be able to enable forwarding...23:07

KlrSpztiny_: then you can create a file and mount it as a drive with the loop option to mount i believe23:08

nickrudSeicherlBoB: sudo update-alternatives --config jave23:09
KlrSpzdebatem1: what's the issue though? ip masquerading?23:09
SeicherlBoBikonia: yes, but there are like 20 links i would need to change manually... do you know a script or tool?23:09
siriusnovacan someone do me a favor and post the url to the broadcom fw-cutter firmware that ubuntu downloads?23:09
SeicherlBoBnickrud: thanks, i'll check that23:09

ikoniaBakefy: what do you want to know ?23:10
neverblueBakefy, please explain23:10
nickrudSeicherlBoB: be sure to use java  not jave , typo23:10
debatem1klrspz: he's getting permission denied on enabling ip forwarding. last time i checked the only things that should cause that to fail are a kernel compiled without it or removing CAP_NET_ADMIN23:10

PeloBakefy,  do you boot into the command line ? yes : it is installed properly23:10

neverbluereportingsjr, i cannot help you, until you help me, please reply to any questions I have23:11
KlrSpzdebatem1: hmmm.. who is this doing this? and did they compile their own kernel? (and why?)23:11

Aeleonwhat?23:12
Bakefyikonia, that is correct.23:12
KlrSpzAeleon: did you compile your own kernel, and if so.. what is your reasoning?23:12
ikoniaBakefy: then t's not installed23:12
AeleonI uh..23:12
reportingsjrneverblue: What do you mean by that? Which daemon?23:12
XerostyleMy computer says I have a card installed, I can change the volume, and It sees everything about the card, but no sound plays.23:12
AeleonKlrSpz, if I did, I didn' know about it.23:12

neverbluereportingsjr, do you want to offer files, grab files, what are you wanting FTP for ?23:16
reportingsjrdebatem1: Ok, thanks!23:16
PeloXerostyle, read up a bit , ubotu finaly kicked in23:16

KlrSpzAeleon: (tring to find out if vpn is necessary)23:16
reportingsjrneverblue: You know what, I need to look up on this a bit more. Sorry about that!23:16
neverbluereportingsjr, you are attempting to run apache, correct ?23:16
AeleonKlrSpz: The computers are very seperate. Mad ports are blocked at my uni's ISP here in the UK, and there are things I want to do that I can't.23:17
KlrSpzAeleon: otherwise, if it is remote, then yes vpn is needed; as well as can you report back what this gives you::::  sudo echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward23:17
neverbluereportingsjr, and you want to access your files, to add/change/remove from your webserver23:17

PeloXerostyle, in menu > system > prefs > sound,  second tab I think make sure that the proper audio card is selected for each sound events type thingy23:18

chocosolhey there, I have been trying to resolve this cups printing problem but I am at a block. localhost:631 shows that the printer is configured and active and every thing appears good. it appears that the printer accepts the print job and then it thinks it is printed but nothing comes out the printer and cups reports as successfully printed. This is a USB connected printer but it initially worked fine and then last week it just stoppe23:18
debatem1klrspz: unfortunately, ssh stil requires /dev/null and /dev/urandom, and suid, so i can't use if for my current problem- any suggestions?23:19

astro76Aeleon: here is a workaround for redirection as root... sudo bash-c "echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"23:32
kavok2soundray: but not the printscreen thing23:32
astro76Aeleon: here is a workaround for redirection as root..errr... sudo bash -c "echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"23:32
debatem1ikonia: 'cause i have to lock it down or the little snots tear it up for me, and they have limited admin rights23:33
ikoniadebatem1: they won't be able to do anything with it then ?23:33
soundraykavok2: you may have to hold Ctrl and Alt and PrtScrn (SysRq), then hit R23:33
ikoniadebatem1: they can't mofidfy xinetd as thats root - and you can tell it to launch the programs you want as any user you want23:33
Aeleonwhat's that gonna do, astro76? Is that going to avoid putting me in root?23:33
ikoniadebatem1: you can even chroot them23:33
astro76Aeleon: one more time, need ' instead of " because you are using " already... sudo bash -c 'echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward'23:33
astro76Aeleon: yes23:34
IntelligitimateI am having a problem with Ubuntu randomly assigning names to my various connection devices. How do I make such a device always be recognized as either "eth1" or 'eth2"?23:34
astro76Aeleon: jsut for the command like sudo23:34
kavok2soundray: it looks like im going to have to forcefully restart the computer23:34
soundraykavok2: try a "soft" shutdown using the Quit icon first23:34
enkidu_akbluefox83: I don't know, I've never used vlc. In my search for amr-nb support, mplayer was the only media player that even hinted at it. I had to go and grab the codecs from a third party and then recompile mplayer to support that codec. It was a bit annoying, but if I can get it working, I'll live with it.23:34
kavok2soundray: the quit icon wont activate23:34
eHomesometimes an update will destroy my ubuntu ?23:34
kavok2ill slog through it for awhile23:34
debatem1ikonia: it needs to run inside of a very secure chroot so that I can set it up to fail in predictable ways. since the host needs to stay up and running, i would really prefer that it not involve an suid action or straight up root23:34
Aeleonastro76: but I won't have to worry about deleting stuff by accident and messing my whole pc up, right? :P23:35
confreyhi everybody23:35
eHomemy task manager looks like a line in my task bar, after i upgrade something today23:35
ikoniadebatem1: there is no setuid action and xinetd is run ass root, so it's totally safe23:35
astro76Aeleon: if you trust me I guess ;)23:35
soundraykavok2: okay, if you have to cut the power, there's always a small risk of data loss (very small actually, thanks to ext3), but if you have exhausted all other options, go ahead.23:35
Aeleonastro76: oh, that makes me nervous!23:35
ikoniadebatem1: I can assure you it's a secure method, a lot of the banks of england use it....it's secure23:36
Aeleonoh my gooses, it did it!23:36

BlackCowi feel like a totally noob here but, why is it that I cannot copy and paste folders and files through the GUI?23:39
ikoniadebatem1: then you need to write daemons to run as non-privileged users23:39
BlackCowi am using kubuntu, so i should probably take it to the kubuntu channel23:39
astro76]RandoM[: yes that's normal, you can only use the external IP from outside23:40
astro76]RandoM[: unless your router support something sometimes called "nat reflection"23:40
astro76]RandoM[: otherwise the router just sends the request out to your gateway, never to return23:40
soundrayBlackCow: you're probably trying to write to system folders. You're only supposed to write data to your $HOME folder, and nowhere else23:40
OnyxBlackCow: How are you trying to copy and paste?23:40
Phusion]RandoM[: sounds like the port was incorrectly forwarded23:40
Phusion]RandoM[: who makes your router?23:40
Aeleonand which port did you use, ]RandoM[? Last night I tried to have ssh listen on 80, and that failed miserably. Have you tried other ports?23:40
OnyxBlackCow: And... what happens when you try?23:40
debatem1ikonia: and I'm hoping to avoid that too. if i have to, ill just deal with ssh being pretty bad for chrooting, or set up a cgi script to auth, but i would rather do either of those things than trust myself to write code as secure as I would need it to be in that case23:40

I am running an nvidia 7900 GS card and when I go to nvidia-settings I can manage to get some of my screen onto my TV, but it seems to be using one desktop...

ikoniatomtt: most of the products that are supported support/contribute to open source23:53

neverblueArc does the mic/card work, have they been tested (hardware) ?23:54
Arcneverblue: The microphone WORKS FOR MONITOR.  That is, when I unmute it, I can hear myself immediatly through the speakers.23:54
SlartAdemoS: I'm not really sure either.. some extra debug info is one thing23:54
Arcneverblue: thus, the hardware must be functioning.23:54
neverblueArc sure, thats a good assumption to make23:55

neverblueArc, not sure I can offer any more suggestions, sorry23:55
