[00:48] !flash > allobjects [00:48] Theres a checkmark under 'filter multicast' shall I leave it checked or unchecked [00:48] Thanks LjL === ajmorris_ is now known as ajmorris [00:48] WooD: also check out the partition using gparted [00:48] Bassman321: leave it whatever it is -- that doesn't have to do with mac address filtering [00:48] ie: i need to find the physical address of the usb-drive [00:48] My wireless mac filter is already checked as 'disabled' [00:48] Hi - when I use my wireless card, my computer freezes for about 5 seconds quite often and inpredicably. It's a PCMCIA card, Belkin F5D7010 v7. lspci says "Belkin Unknown device 701f (rev 20)" [00:48] Bassman321: OK, so it's something else -- are you sure there's no encryption/authentication setup? [00:49] pgan002, i did your command and still the same problem .. ill reboot .. It maybe have a bug somewher [00:49] anyone here use the sever edition [00:49] Well I don't need to put in any password when I connect if that's what you're saying === pgan002 is now known as p1 [00:49] !anyone | Bakefy [00:49] Bakefy: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [00:49] !server > Bakefy (Bakefy, see the private message from Ubotu) [00:49] on google earth i keep getting a message to update my graphic card driver. on this page in the ubuntu docs, it says to look into the restricted drivers, but the only thing listed in my restricted drivers folder is hal ... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=482611 anybody know how i might update ati rage mobility driver? [00:49] I want to make a network file server... NAS. (thanks LjL) and I wonder if Ubuntu server is the best option [00:50] LjL: the link for 32 bit packages for 7.10 takes me to a page wher eI need a login. Can't see where to get an account [00:50] b!best > bakefy - sorry, bot spam has to continue :) [00:50] !best > bakefy (bakefy, see the private message from Ubotu) - sorry, bot spam has to continue :) [00:50] LjL, say what? [00:50] heh [00:50] !best | Bakefy [00:50] Bakefy: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. [00:51] LjL, got it... thanks [00:51] Bassman321: what type of wifi device is it? [00:51] You mean what type of wirless adapter do I have? [00:51] yes [00:51] Bakefy: it's certainly a "good" option. whether it's the best... well we're a bit biased towards ubuntu here i would suppose [00:51] LjL, if you were to create a file server would you use server, or ubuntu desktop [00:51] Bakefy: i would use server [00:51] how do i get moblock to stop blocking last.fm? [00:51] ljL: Am I misreading and going to the wrong link to download the 7.10 packages ? [00:52] allobjects: wait, i'm looking [00:52] hello everybody.. [00:52] LjL, thanks for the help... I am going to go buy two 500 GB drives at frys tonight! [00:52] the spanish channel was bored jeje [00:53] what is frys? [00:53] allobjects: ah yes, i'm afraid you simply do have to register to ubuntuforums to download attachments [00:53] LjL: btw, if I have done the wrong thing trying to install the rpm via alien, please tell me how to undo [00:53] My wirelss adapter is a linksys wireless-G WUSB54G v. 4 [00:53] allobjects: possibly not easy... what was the package name?

[00:55] Shadix: yes, i think the same that LjL [00:56] Bassman321: Well, is your machine listed as a client on the router? [00:56] (after you try to connect) [00:56] I don't know I'll boot back into linux, try to connect, and then boot back into windows and look at the log [00:56] Ljl: that ssemd to work. Just for my own understanding, what does "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" mean ? [00:57] I think it means ld is being configured to be able to include newly installed binaries [00:57] *libraries === dontpanic is now known as dontpanic0 [00:57] allobjects: it's normal, it's a feature introduced in Gutsy to make installing multiple packages take longer time by deferring certain actions (such as running ldconfig to configure libraries) after installing all packages, rather than doing them once for each package [00:57] Bassman321: or you could boot into linux, try to connect, and then plug in an eth cable to see the log... but you left [00:57] err, take *shorter* time :) [00:58] LjL: *less* time [00:58] LjL: cool, thanks for your help, will get account to forums now and try getting that package [00:58] heh [00:58] i did sudo "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" now i'm back [00:58] * soundray relishes in correcting the language of people who are smarter than himself :) [00:59] I need some help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4090552 [00:59] soundray: my english is going, i can feel it dave, i can feel it... daisy... [00:59] Hi - when I insert my PCMCIA wireless card and execute "ifconfig wlan0 up", my computer freezes for about 5 seconds quite often and inpredicably. It's a Belkin F5D7010 v7. lspci says "Belkin Unknown device 701f (rev 20)" [00:59] soundray: you can't 'relish *in*' something :P [00:59] * kojiro hides [00:59] Does anyone know the name of the alsa service that starts up in a default install? I accidentally deleted it from my sessions. [00:59] I can't remove "msttcorefonts" !! [01:00] Kasplatt: you can't remove microsoft software? how surprising *g*... what does it say? [01:00] eww i feel dirty now that I've had to use my whinedows machine [01:00] kojiro: you can't? What's the correct way to say it then? [01:00] thx for your help though [01:00] soundray: nevermind, I recant my statement [01:00] when I tried to install it it failed , and I had to stop the process using ctrl-c so now when I try to remove it it tries to download some files. and one file keeps stopping , the same file that stopped when I tried to install it. [01:00] hi all. I disabled wireless using network manager, but now I can't renable it! What do I do? [01:00] shadix: new to linux :P ? [01:00] icheyne: using network manager [01:01] wpk, yes [01:01] wpk, using network manager [01:01] kojiro: did you look it up somewhere? [01:01] Kasplatt: lol a little I havn't had to use it for a longtime.....not since I used another comp as a router [01:01] the days before routers [01:01] wpk? [01:02] I can set it up again, but the little radio button is not available [01:02] hey guys, where i can check to see all the messages of drivers loading and stuff when i first boot up....i know there is a log file somewhere, im using ubuntu 7.04 [01:02] shadix: hmm ok :) [01:02] nano_, in /var/log [01:02] sorry, /var/log/ [01:02] neverblue: would it be in syslog [01:02] nano_, possibly, or messages [01:02] how do i check to see that my video drivers are up to date? [01:02] ok let me rephrase my question - where can I see a list of the available wireless networks and their strengths? [01:03] neverblue: ill check [01:03] nano_, do you mean dmesg? [01:03] Hi - when I use my wireless card, my computer freezes for about 5 seconds often and unpredicably. It's a Belkin F5D7010 v7, which should work fine with ndiswrapper, according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBelkin . lspci says "Belkin Unknown device 701f (rev 20)". [01:03] icheyne: im trying to see if alsa was started during boot... [01:03] Kasplatt, pastebin the output of the whole thing please [01:03] echowip`, how did you install them initially ? [01:03] dmesg [01:03] sweet [01:03] dmesg ! grep alsa [01:03] LjL, of the uninstallation progress ? [01:04] sorry that's a pipe not a ! [01:04] dmesg | grep alsa [01:04] nano__: depending on the level of detail you want, /var/log/boot or /var/log/kern.log [01:04] icheyne "dmesg | grep alsa" doesn't turn anything up, but my sound is working.. [01:04] icheyne: im not on OSS [01:04] neverblue: by just using administration>restricted drivers manager [01:04] nano_, you're right I'm talking crap [01:05] LjL: do you want me to paste what it does when I tell it to remove msttcorefonts ? [01:05] it automatically downloaded the drivers.... but im not sure if they're the proper up to date files [01:05] nano_, I just checked it and it did not show up my alsa - sory [01:05] echowip`, then your update manager will let you know if a newer one is available, and will prompt to download the package [01:05] icheyne: so what file do you think i should check? [01:05] nano_, there are some really good troubleshooters on the ubuntu wiki [01:05] can someone help me my sound stoped working all of a sudden [01:05] icheyne: ill give it a shot [01:05] nano_, there's also the alsa wiki [01:05] Nostahl, what application are you using to listen to sound in ? [01:06] icheyne: thnkx [01:06] Is there any software at all that lets me call 100% free to cellphones arround the world? [01:06] !offtopic | tssom [01:06] tssom: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [01:06] neverblue i was in the prefferences/sound and i cant hear any of the test sounds === cz1 is now known as czk [01:07] Nostahl, do you have a web browser open, where you maybe listening to audio, say possibly in flash ? [01:07] nope [01:07] LjL: sorry but it seems to be removed , so I guess it's okay. [01:07] nano__, if sound is working, then what's the problem? =) anyway there's no module actually called alsasomething... try "grep snd /var/log/udev" (or just "lsmod | grep snd" which will tell you which sound modules are loaded, whether or not they got loaded on boot) [01:07] Nostahl, logout of your system, log back in again, see if its still occurring === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [01:07] k [01:07] tssom: no [01:07] brb if it dosnt work hehe [01:07] but when I try to uninstall HL2 , it keeps renewing my files instead of deleting them. [01:08] Is there a good flickr uploader for linux? [01:08] !good > lufis (lufis, see the private message from Ubotu) [01:08] I want the machine to connect to my network at boot instead of waiting for me to log into X and enter my keychain password -- how can I do this? [01:08] and I can't reinstall unless I uninstall .. so I'm pretty stuck.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [01:09] Hello all. I don't want to interrupt anything, let me know when I can ask a question. [01:09] Kasplatt: hl2? [01:09] emaude: just ask [01:10] my multiuniverse repository are coming up up with an error [01:10] How the heck do I open up TCP Port 3306 for MySQL? [01:10] LjL, yes [01:10] Hey I'm back [01:10] Bassman321: I wish you had waited a sec [01:10] hello [01:10] I'm looking at the log right now [01:10] can i use the "find" command to search for a string in file content, or am i stuck with grep [01:10] Lol did you find out anything? [01:10] Bassman321: it doesn't help [01:10] So you found out my problem? [01:10] I mean solution [01:10] Bassman321: if you connect on the same machine via Windows of course the log is going to say you're connected [01:10] lufis: all 1148 of us? :) look, there's *five* applications in the repos that can do what you want. it's not that many. i'm sure you can just install them and try them all briefly. [01:11] Bassman321: which invalidates the test [01:11] Yes but there should be 2 [01:11] nano__: grep it is. why is it bad? [01:11] LjL: deb package worked a treat. Thanks for your time [01:11] Bassman321: OK, are there 2? [01:11] LjL: i was just wondering if there was any alternative [01:11] No [01:11] Only one [01:11] But something different happend this time [01:11] Bassman321: what happened? [01:12] It showed that it connected and had the little bars and it apperently was '73%' connected but I couldn't access any websites [01:12] http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy-security/Release: Unable to find expected entry multiversedeb/source/Sources in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) [01:12] hello all [01:12] looking for a little help with a login issue [01:12] LjL: yea hl2 , I can't uninstall it. [01:12] hello where can i find some documentation on how to use more than 4GB in ubuntu 7.10 thanks [01:12] what login issue, flyingfree? [01:13] Kasplatt: what's hl2? [01:13] Bassman321: is the router set up to do dhcp? [01:13] I recently added a new usr and instead of showing up as a viable user I managed to somehow remove administrative rigths from myself and all the user I created, problem is I was the only admin [01:13] When I use my wireless card, my computer freezes for about 5 seconds often and unpredicably. It's a Belkin F5D7010 v7, which should work with ndiswrapper, according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBelkin [01:13] root does not work [01:13] hi [01:13] LjL: oh, it's Half Life 2 [01:13] anyhelp? [01:13] Yes I think so but let me make sure [01:13] Kasplatt: Half-life 2, possibly one of the best games evaar. [01:13] seaman: lol , nice nick. [01:13] Server help, please? [01:13] flyingfree: ouch :( [01:14] How would I setup a dual boot ? [01:14] It says dhcp server: enable and its enabled [01:14] nano__: of course there are alternatives, just "find" is not one. what are you looking for, something faster...? i suggest typing « /msg ubotu search search » [01:14] I am getting stories of I do not need to format my windows, and Ubuntu will resize my partition for me ? [01:14] does anyone no the proper apt line for multiuniverse repositories? [01:14] LjL: is there an ubuntu way to fix flyingfree's problem or should I talk him through a chroot? [01:14] If hl2 is on steam, I know a good link to a site with a guide for setting up steam on Linux [01:14] flyingfree: 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) [01:15] oh, that'll do it [01:15] kojiro: 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 reason [01:15] how do I boot into recovery mode [01:15] flyingfree: you reach your GRUB menu and select recovery mode [01:15] sorry didn't catch that LjL [01:16] flyingfree: boot, when you see something about grub hit escape, you'll see a menu. Chose the one with recovery in parentheses [01:16] okay I'll give that a try and from there [01:16] flyingfree: 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] init=/bin/sh and then adduser username admin? [01:16] yup [01:16] flyingfree: no, just run adduser usrername admin [01:16] flyingfree: no, init=/bin/sh is a kernel parameter, and an alternative to recovery mode. disregard it, recovery mode should do it find [01:16] okay thanks [01:17] s/find/fine/ [01:17] Hello. Evolution seems to keep "forgetting" my calendar, and I'm not sure why. I reboot and everything I have in my calendar is gone, except for the names of the calendars [01:17] brb hopefully [01:17] LjL: does init=/bin/sh bypass a root pasword ? [01:17] flyingfree, you can always start irssi from recovery mode [01:17] flyingfree: if you need assistence while in recovery mode [01:17] * nickrud doesn't feel like rebooting to find out [01:17] nickrud: yes [01:17] LjL: it's messed up, every time I try to uninstall it it just copies new files over the existing ones... [01:17] nickrud: 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, so [01:18] LjL: no, recovery won't [01:18] So what do you think kojiro [01:18] Any solutions? [01:18] Also, 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] nickrud: ah but you mean that *if* a root password is set, recovery will bypass it, otherwise it'll ask for no password...? [01:18] sudofrostwire [01:18] LjL: 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! [01:19] LjL: if root has a password, recovery mode (single user) asks for it [01:19] Kasplatt: 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 create [01:19] and then remove manually [01:19] that's far from ideal i guess [01:19] I need help connecting to the internet using dial-up [01:20] Is it nessessary to still do the old stuff when doing a dual boot? Backing up windows, installing windows again on the smaller partition , then installing the linux version ? [01:20] shouldn't root always have a password, even if it's a randomly generated one? [01:20] Due to bug related to my wireless card I need to run 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' after a reboot to get my card going. I have done this in my session startup programs but is there any way I can ensure this runs without loging into any user ? [01:20] LjL: hehe it's .exes , and I have to use Wine to do so. [01:20] hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii =********** [01:20] How can I set a video as my wallpaper? [01:20] Convert it to a .gif [01:20] Name141: no, if you have vista use vista's partition resizer, otherwise ubuntu has a partition resizer. Backups are always wise, however [01:21] XxXValeteXxX: only way I know is by using VLC player. if you want sound and stuff. [01:21] nickrud: 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 root [01:21] Bassman321: ok, try this [01:21] Bassman321, I can use gifs as wallpaper? O_o [01:21] Yes [01:21] Bassman321, cool :-O [01:21] Yeah very [01:21] Bassman321: connect to the thing like last time, and wait until it gives you 78% or whatever [01:21] Kasplatt, I just want the looks [01:21] Ok [01:22] nickrud: so I just back up stuff now, for now, then install Ubuntu, and it SHOULD repartition things, and KEEP my current data on windows also ? (and the hidden dell partition for the system image?) [01:22] Kasplatt, I was going for sunny beach thing [01:22] :p [01:22] Bassman321: then try to ping 64.233.187.99 (that's google) [01:22] Bassman321: but ping the IP address, not google.com [01:22] XxXValeteXxX: hehe ok , then .gifs I guess, if that's possible ;) [01:22] LjL: I do wish I'd known about /bin/sh (well I did, but assumed it would require a password). Mucking with shadow reminded me again why I have a bios password (and a lock on the case) [01:23] and _still_ there's no such thing as local security :) [01:23] Name141: yes. If you've done any partitioning in the past, you'll find it very straightforward [01:23] kojiro, i'm only assuming that it's a wifi network you're talking about, and even then, i know nothing about those. but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo#head-92c70cd59ecb39c8645a88a26134115395c7d904 seems like it might be relevant [01:23] Is there a straighforward way to tell KDE that i want Emacs style keybindings for things like editing fields in forms; entering URLs in firefox; etc? [01:23] LjL: thanks, opening === anthis is now known as echowip [01:24] nickrud: yeah that's the best one can conceivably do. although i suppose some mechanism that degausses the HD when one tries to force the case open would beat it ;) [01:24] i just installed ubuntu and in network settings my wireless conection isn't being noticed.... [01:24] LjL: :) [01:24] what do i do to make sure my wireless adapter is being noticed? [01:24] LjL: but that's just a DoS vuln :P [01:25] When I use my wireless card, my computer freezes for about 5 seconds often and unpredicably. It's a Belkin F5D7010 v7, which should work with ndiswrapper, according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBelkin [01:25] So how do I ping an adresse? [01:25] subopt: not a positive answer, but http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde&m=117678980105459&w=2 [01:25] Bassman321: ping "adress" ? [01:25] Ok [01:25] Thanks [01:25] kojiro: hm? [01:25] Bassman321: open a terminal and type ping -c3
[01:25] LjL: thanks [01:26] So after I ping the site what do I do? [01:26] anyone know how to dismount a fat32 external on ubuntu [01:26] how come gparted is very slow to check for drives ? [01:27] the drive has never been opened in ubuntu [01:27] hi i had apach2 up and running and then i accidently deleted /var/www using rm command [01:27] any help? [01:27] Bassman321: does the ping succeed? [01:28] hi! [01:28] How can I run a command as part of the bootup without having to log into any user ? [01:28] aszwet1 do you have a backup? [01:28] new to ubuntu [01:28] how can i do to edit menus from the top bar? [01:28] th0r [01:28] don't think so lol [01:28] I can add new menus/items but can't delete them :P [01:28] aszwet1 I don't think there is any way to retrieve it...not like windows [01:29] the only thing that was there was apache2 folder with the test.php [01:29] but that doesn't mean that apache2 won't work does it? [01:29] martin_: uhh you right click on the thing you want to delete and press remove applet ? [01:29] this is probably a really retarded question, but how can i adjust the gamma settings for the desktop? [01:29] aszwet1 /var/www contained your website? [01:29] martin_: or it's called "Remove From Panel" I don't remember [01:29] nope th0r torrentflux, but i was installing something new anyways [01:30] Can someone please tell me how to add a command to some startup script so that it runs each time the machine boots ? [01:30] i was just wondering if by deleteing the apache2 folder that made apache2 stop working... th0r? [01:30] martin_: Use Terminal and type gconf-editor [01:30] aszwet1 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 you === Monobi_ is now known as Monobi [01:31] allobjects: You want it to run at grub selection...? [01:31] aszwet1 not sure, but I don't think so.

[01:33] Jack_Sparrow: I have put it into my startup programs in the session but that only runs when I log in [01:34] Jack_Sparrow: also there is no doco for the workaround, I discovered it myself [01:34] so ubuntu 7.10 uses linux kernel version 2.6.22? [01:34] allobjects: "man init" [01:34] SANTAbios: it does. [01:34] allobjects: Sorry, dont know how to get it to run before you login [01:34] can anyone in hear get 7.1 to work with flash?

I accidentally deleted it from my sessions.

[01:38] hey guys, i have a really wierd problem with my sound on my toshiba laptop.....the problem is strange because i am dual booting with windows and if i boot into linux with windows vista in suspend or hibernate mode, my linux sound works; however, if i log out of vista and do a shutdown and then log into ubuntu, my sound doesn't work.................has anybody ever come across anything like this before? [01:38] blake_: use the mount command from the terminal (see "man mount"). But I suspect it will give you the same error messge. Also, try looking at the disk using gparted or parted [01:38] and youtube freezes my box, i hate it [01:38] please is there an easy way? [01:38] go to the adobe home page [01:38] LjL and Kojire (?) thanks!! [01:38] SANTAbios: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/paid [01:38] flyingfree: heh, I didn't do anything [01:38] so you're welcome [01:39] Im back [01:39] Bassman321: welcome back :) [01:39] SANTAbios: I'm 55 that does not mean I get to be rude and spoon fed... It is two lines to read.. how hard is that... [01:39] Thanks [01:39] nano__ I am running a dual boot Toshiba A200 and when I use windows, the next time I start linux the sound doesn't work. I have to shutdown completely after running windows...a reboot won't do [01:39] SANTAbios: The workaround I used is to first go to synaptic, select the flashplugin-nonfree package and then mark it for *complete* removal. Then install the hardy flashplugin, http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10761023/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_i386.deb [01:39] hey jack please help me [01:39] The pinging didn't work [01:39] SANTAbios: sorry I thought you were looking at how to install flash. Do you know what version you have installed ? [01:39] no sir [01:40] Bassman: OK, that confirms that despite what nm-applet says you are not connected [01:40] thor: is there any other easier way? [01:40] icesword: "chmod +x FILENAME", or "chmod o+x FILENAME". See "man chmod" [01:40] thOr: for me i don't have sound if vista is completely shutdown, but i have sound if vista is in suspend/hibernate....i guess this is the opposeite of you [01:40] SANTAbios, open firefox and type about:plugins and make sure you have version 9 [01:40] I need help...............= Oddly enough I got my wireless card to work right out of the gate! Great news! However, I just noticed my LAN card will not work at all... So Anyone have any ideas on how I might resolve this issue? [01:40] Bassman: you might find it easier to just plug in instead of rebooting and reconnecting all the time [01:40] its pretty crowded [01:40] nano__ either way...the tosh seems to have some issue with windows/linux sound [01:40] SANTAbios: are you using fire fox browser ? [01:40] Yeah to make it look connecteed, I have to keep setting up my ip and turning on and off roaming mode [01:40] soldats: Even if it shows he has 9 it does not mean it installed correctly [01:40] matkix: that's rare [01:40] yes [01:40] what's the CCSM option to control what to do on double-clicking window title? [01:40] th0r: have you come across any solutions? [01:40] firefox [01:40] which browser should i use [01:40] kojiro, So can you help?! :) [01:40] What do you mean plug [01:41] RenatoSilva: Try asking in #Compiz [01:41] matkix: I dunno [01:41] Im dual booting [01:41] Jack_Sparrow, yes i know but there was a problem with flash 8 not working on youtube since he specifically said youtube [01:41] th0r: so basically after using windows , you just shutdown, and then start up again...and you get sound? [01:41] matkix: what makes you say it doesn't work at all? [01:41] Anyone chime in on the best place to put cpan files? I'm installing Bugzilla and it's requiring me to d/l some cpan perl files but suggesting i place them in my /home directory... which isn't the best idea i'm thinking [01:41] nano__ no...on the rare occasion I use windows I just reboot a couple of times to get sound back [01:41] !Ndiswrapper [01:41] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:41] Bassman: I get that [01:41] nano__ yup [01:41] LjL thanks [01:41] allobjects which browser should i use?} [01:41] kojiro, Its not showing up! :( [01:41] th0r: very interesting... [01:41] matkix: is the card recognized at all? in ifconfig? ifconfig -a? it might be network-manager's fault... [01:41] SANTAbios: that browser should be fine. [01:41] th0r: what kinda sound hardware do you have MCP51 i suppose? [01:41] matkix: where should it show up that it's not showing up? [01:41] Oqtol: why not use the bugzilla from the repos? [01:41] Which ubuntu package contains rpm2cpio ? [01:41] Does anyone got ltmodem working on an Agere? [01:41] !find rpm2cpio | ahz [01:41] It's out of date like subversion is isn't it? [01:41] !find rpm2cipio [01:42] ahz: File rpm2cpio found in rpm [01:42] thanks [01:42] Package/file rpm2cipio does not exist in gutsy [01:42] Oqtol: ah, that's a reason not to [01:42] !apt-file > ahz (ahz, see the private message from Ubotu) [01:42] nickrud: tag..... [01:42] Jack_Sparrow: at work, I duck [01:42] Network manager. I havent checked ifconfig [01:42] Can someone refresh my memory on bluetooth? [01:42] i'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? [01:42] does ubuntu server come with gnome and ubuntu desktop? [01:42] ahz: What are you trying to do with an RPM [01:42] At0mic_PC: specifically? [01:42] matkix: check lshw and ifconfig [01:43] acidfire2008: no [01:43] nickrud: Not understanding :), I used the repos for mysql as it was v5, but bugzilla isn't at 3 in the repos is it? [01:43] Jack_Sparrow: unpack it as if it were a tarball [01:43] I had it set up so that I could right click a file and "SEND" "Chris" but I got a new phone and can't remember how to get my new phone in the list. [01:43] so if u want a gui would i need to install gdm and ubuntu desktop? [01:43] kojiro yeah you did saved me about three to four hours worht of time reinstalling ubunut from scratch [01:43] acidfire2008: ubuntu-desktop alone will do, it depends on gdm. [01:43] LjL, I checked ifconfig and I have an eth0 and eth1 and eth1 is my wireless. I also have a mess of vm adapters... however I do see an eth 0 with what appears to be a vaild mac address. [01:43] ahz: Using rpm's you can use alien.. but I strongly suggest against it [01:43] Oqtol: you should consider putting them in /usr/local somewhere, I'm sure cpan has a suggestion for that. [01:43] SANTAbios: In a new tab enter 'about:plugins' without the quoted to see what version of the Showckwave Flash plugin is installed [01:43] !alien [01:43] RPM 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) [01:44] I don't need to install. I just need to grab 1 file out of an rpm [01:44] i'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? [01:44] flyingfree: alright me! go me! [01:44] matkix: and it's supposed to have an IP address? or get it from a DHCP server, or something? [01:44] Oqtol: if you want a later version, for a reason, that makes sense. [01:44] I suppose I can use alien to convert rpm to tarball [01:44] Should have an ip address... [01:44] LjL ty [01:44] nickrud, i'll place them in /usr/local in some directory, if nothing is standardized for cpan files. Thanks for your help [01:44] ive been wondering bc i want to remote into a gui [01:45] with like vnc and shit [01:45] RenatoSilva: Does anyone got ltmodem working on an Agere? [01:45] ahz, 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 fine [01:45] i'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] Hi, is there a way to use apt-get to find out what package installed a particular file? [01:45] LjL, I would like to be able to get to it from the network manager so I can change it on the fly. My job requires me to be connected to many networks a day and I need it to be quick and easy to change my ip. [01:46] fallore: what error does apt-get give you? [01:46] SANTAbios: that should bring up a page of all installed plugins in your firefox browser. Did that work ? [01:46] Oqtol: one more thing, you should see if the cpan module has already been made as a deb, many have [01:46] Hi, 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] matkix, problem is, i have to say that network-manager is generally a chore to use, from many reports i've seen :| my suggestion is, try configuring it manually in /etc/network/interfaces, and see what comes out of it [01:46] Ideas? [01:46] Zloog: pmed you [01:46] Im going to try to use ndiswrapper or whatever [01:46] Do you think that's a good idea [01:47] fallore: install xine-ui [01:47] My gutsy install cds (desktop and alternate) never get past the "Starting system log daemon: syslogd, klogd." stage. It just hands there with a blinking cursor. What is going on? What can I do to install gutsy? [01:47] nickrud: I actually did that and grabbed a few, some were out of date though, causing module-check on bugzilla install to kick back to span links [01:47] RichW: got any third party repositories enabled? did the updates upgrade your kernel? [01:47] looking for someone with ATI card and has 3D effects running [01:47] *span = cpan [01:47] Oqtol: you're ahead of me :0 [01:47] nickrud: installing atm, hope this works :] [01:47] * nickrud waves hand at Kuropon [01:47] LjL: yes it upgraded my kernel.. and no 3rd partys [01:47] LjL, What do you mean try to configure manually? Like every time I want to change the ip address? [01:47] nickrud: Just love apt-get [01:47] nickrud: not ahead. haha [01:48] LjL: I only see one kernel in grub boot... [01:48] hey guys, I added kde then went back to gnome. now rar isnt working for double compressed .r01 .r02 files. any suggestions on how to fix this? [01:48] * Kuropon waves back at nickrud [01:48] Kuropon: what video chip do you run [01:48] ANyone use port multipliers in ubuntu? [01:48] Hello. How do I patch Sauerbraten? [01:48] nickrud, I got you opened in private window [01:49] Kuropon: you must not be registered, I'm not seeing you [01:49] RichW: 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 anything [01:49] matkix, well not necessarily, you can still set it up for DHCP [01:49] LjL: 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] Kuropon: it's pretty straightforward, we can do it here in mainline [01:49] nickrud, gah ok well.. chip? meaning? [01:49] Kuropon: like a 9500, or x1xxx, or 200m [01:49] nickrud, sec [01:49] LjL, I use 10+networks a day with no dhcp can you offer a better suited suggestion? Or should I just ditch ubuntu all together and go xp? [01:50] Kuropon: lspci | grep -i vga in a terminal will tell you [01:50] I need to know how to patch Sauerbraten. I am a noob to linux, where is the equivelent of the "Program Files" Folder? [01:51] does anyone know how to like get a certain file type to be used by a different program other than the default? for example i have some mp3's that i want to play using VLC and not the movie player, which is used as default. [01:51] matkix do you have static ip addresses in each of the networks? [01:51] Does anyone got ltmodem working on an Agere? [01:51] nickrud, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 9588 [01:51] At0mic_PC: i'm on KDE so can't say for sure how that's supposed to be done in GNOME... i think you should be able to type "obex://" in a Nautilus window. possibly. you might need to run « sudo apt-get install gnome-vfs-obexftp » to achieve that [01:51] arken_: there is no exact equiv, the files get scattered around the filesystem base on function. dpkg -L will tell you where [01:51] fsanlu: look at file properties 'open with' tab [01:52] matkix: err if you need to manually change IP address that often, what difference does it actually make if you do it from n-m or using /etc/network/interfaces? [01:52] What if i do not know the pkgname? [01:52] At0mic_PC: You need gnome-ftp-obex i think it was.. i might of got package name wrong [01:52] hey skype is opening then just closing [01:52] Kuropon: hrm. Don't know that unknown chip :) Is it real new, or real old? [01:52] What program can I use to edit gif files? I wanna edit them frame per frame === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:52] arken_: the package name for sauerbraten is, quite surprisingly, "sauerbraten" [01:52] !pm | acidfire2008 [01:52] acidfire2008: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you.

[01:53] nickrud, ati hd2600xt [01:53] :O [01:53] lol [01:53] hey jack_sparrow thank you [01:53] anyone here have experience in (successfully) using dvd::rip to rip a dvd? [01:53] JACK u rock!!! [01:54] your smart [01:54] fallore: yes [01:54] LjL, Another issue I have had. It takes over 10 min to boot my system. Can you provide any input as into how I might trim this down to at least = to a windows boot? [01:54] Kuropon: a sec, I need to find out which driver supports that one [01:54] XxXValeteXxX: if the GIMP is unable to do that out of the box, use something like "gifsicle" to extract the single images from the GIF, edit each of them, and then re-create the GIF animation with gifsicle again [01:54] howddoes rss work in firefox? [01:54] pvl1: how well; or how to use it? [01:55] SANTAbios: sounds like your problem is fixed ? [01:55] is there a simple way to see who is logging using ssh ? besides ps ax | grep ssh?

[01:55] fallore: better to talk here [01:55] is there a way to search apt get? [01:55] thats fine bazhang [01:55] i will see everything if i set up firestarter right? [01:56] Doonz: apt-cache search [01:56] hello .....I am new in ubuntu [01:56] matkix, 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
gw ". you could even easily make a little graphical interface to that using zenity [01:56] ask away fabian__ [01:56] apt-cache search packagename? [01:56] bazhang: what i've done so far is open the program, run the check test and edit the preferences to my liking. everything was green, i installed xine and rar and mplayer like it asked. [01:56] Doonz: or related word like mp3 etc [01:57] LjL, What about my boot time question? [01:57] bazhang: now i'm at the actual project window. i created a new project, told it where to look and the ripping mode. it doesn't seem to be dong anything and i don't really know how to make it do something. [01:57] trying to find libata-tj-2.6.22 [01:57] matkix, slow booting might be due to many factors, i suggest installing the "bootchart" package to see where it's getting stuck. do you see the splash screen while booting?

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.

Edit /etc/usplash.conf and change "xres" and "yres" to a resolution that your graphics system certainly supports, then run « sudo update-usplash-theme usplash-theme-ubuntu » [01:58] now my flash is screwed why?

I cant install my card video (ATI 9550) [01:58] Kuropon: 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_Guide [01:58] 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 X60s [01:59] pvl1: depends on the web page; generally clicking on the orange rss icon in the address bar will open up a feed page and then you hit subscribe; this can then be made a bookmark [01:59] i have glxgears working fine [01:59] man i 512 mb of ram, and my gnome is slow, how do i speed it up?

I just want it out [02:02] Kuropon: no, I have to use x11 to get playback. [02:02] nickrud, maning? [02:02] Crazy activity in here :) [02:02] LjL how do i get into the ubuntu desktop now [02:02] nickrud, meaning?* [02:03] fallore: well how squeamish are you about using non-gnome apps with your gnome desktop? if not, then k3b does the job for me [02:03] th0r: 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] Kuropon: or, switch to metacity. x11 is a different video output, xv is the standard these days. You can set that video output in your players [02:03] bazhang: 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 :p [02:04] LjL yeah...was hoping there was a way to tell dpkg or apt-get to dump it...but doesn't look like it. [02:04] fallore: haha; k3b is remarkably versatile--they even have their own channel I believe :} [02:04] nickrud, doesn switching from xv to x11 downgrade performance? [02:04] LjL tried to reinstall it, but that didn't work either...so I am stuck in some midpoint [02:04] th0r: 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] bazhang: could you direct me to it, just in case? :] [02:05] Kuropon: some, yes. mplayer won't scale it, either. But you can switch easily between compiz and standard metacity easily. [02:05] ok guys can i install my epson printer on ubuntu? [02:05] th0r: the "right" thing to do is file a bug.

If that is the case you will have to register the modem, and pay for the service. [02:34] bgt421, the command for the network manager in the sessions should be : nm-applet --sm-disable [02:34] how can i get my linux computer to sync up with the workgroup the rest of the (windows) computers are using in the house? [02:35] fallore look at fusesmb [02:35] If I have a script file on my desktop as follows: "-rwxrwxrwx 1 user user 141 2008-01-08 12:28 force-wireless" why can't I execute this from a terminal ? [02:35] s_spiff: ok I'll try that. what does that mean, exactly? [02:35] hello i'm trying to install mod_scgi modules for apache2 is there anyone who know how this is done? [02:35] bgt421, and the other thing you've added to Sessions the nm-manager, well I have no clue what that is. [02:35] gyaresu: ok, i seem to have gotten things closer to working; icarus.local seems to be resolving properly, now [02:35] th0r: i'm sorry, i dont understand :/ [02:35] Ward1983:my card seems ok,the problem is "iwlist scan" always gets me the same results as it gives at the very first time.Even in the place ame where I can use wireless with Mandriva [02:35] joh6nn: cool. [02:35] allobjects: probably because the directory is not on you path. type ./force-wireless [02:35] fallore install fusesmb from synaptic. It is real easy to use....type 'man fusesmb' after install and it will explain what to do [02:36] bgt421, umm, nm-applet mean its a applet, a part of the panel if I'm not mistaken. As for the --sm-disable, I guess just some parameters. Someone with more experience may be able to help you out with that [02:36] allobjects: what error do you get when you try? [02:36] hello i'm trying to install mod_scgi modules for apache2 is there anyone who know how this is done? [02:36] robdig: ahh, that worked thanks [02:36] fallore it will put your workgroups in a folder of your choice..the shared folders on the network should just be part of your folder [02:36] anakrakatoa, i mostly use the GUI to look and connect to router/access points [02:36] gyaresu: i'm not sure that i'm getting the results i should be, though [02:36] allobjects: cool, good luck :) [02:37] s_spiff: Thanks a lot! I'll reboot and see... [02:37] joh6nn: Error message? [02:37] any ideas on why my wireless mouse stopped working [02:37] th0r: i'm not seeing it when i search fusemb on synaptic with all available apps shown === Goda is now known as Goda90 [02:37] bgt421, no probs. Let me know if that works. [02:37] unagi: batteries? [02:37] Kuropon: was away, yes: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg . But doing this edit won't do you any good if you haven't completed the driver compile and install [02:37] would it still be batteries if the led still comes on [02:37] robdig: Can I also just plonk that into init.d folder and get it to run duing startup ? [02:37] fallore just a sec [02:37] gyaresu: no error message, just not what i'm expecting to see. i'm using Acquire::http::Proxy “http://icarus.local:3142″; in apt.conf to forward my sources.list through my Icarus box [02:38] anakrakatoa, you should try the GUI (just click the wireless icon in the right top corner of the screen) [02:38] unagi: dont think so [02:38] some of the repository requests seem to be actually headed through icarus, but most of them seem to still be direct to the outside [02:38] so any other ideas? [02:38] unagi, its working on other comps right? [02:38] dunno [02:38] havent tried [02:39] could anyone please help how would i move my tasklist panel [02:39] unagi, is it an optical mouse? or laser? [02:39] optical [02:39] unagi, check if the light works [02:39] and for the love of all that is holy can someone please help me figure out how to get linux to mount my external automatically and put the icon in places and desktop? [02:39] the light does work [02:39] aram, left click and hold on the panel, drag it around [02:39] aram, by just drag it around to different corners [02:39] first hold your finger in front of the sensor [02:39] Ward1983: I tried that,but it's the same as "iwlist scan" [02:39] fallore it is there...but now that I think about it I downloaded the source and compiled it as there was a problem, but I don't recall if the problem was in ubuntu (my server) or suse (my laptop) [02:39] joh6nn: Sorry. I'm not familiar enough to suggest other than hashing out the outside references. (Or just create a new apt.conf and backup the working one. [02:39] allobjects: not sure if there or in one of the /etc/rc* directories. perhaps someone else here would know better [02:39] fallore I can pastebin my sources.list if you like. [02:39] anakrakatoa, thats weird since it works in another distro :s [02:39] nickrud: thanks but it doesnt work for me [02:40] gyaresu: all right, well i'm farther than i was before, so thanks. ; ) [02:40] any help please [02:40] unagi, try "pairing" the receiver and the mouse again [02:40] aram: this is the gnome taskbar, right? or just the window list. [02:40] i did [02:40] aram, right click, and remove the check mark from 'Lock...' [02:40] 15 times [02:40] nickrud: yes [02:41] Ward1983:it seems that it never found new signals automatically or manually on ubuntu [02:41] s_spiff: thanks i have done that also [02:41] unagi, then you should try another USB port, and / or other computer [02:41] I don't know what's going on [02:41] aram: yes could be either :) if it's just the window list, do waht s_spiff said, then drag [02:41] ok what about my external drive problem [02:41] aram: you have to grab the little bar to the right [02:41] nickrud, hehe. Seems he's tried that too :( [02:41] nickrud: i will try my best to see if i can move it :D [02:41] !tone [02:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about tone - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:42] anakrakatoa, i have no idea, never had trouble with wifi :( [02:42] hmmmm.

[02:43] !nickspam [02:43] You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair on new users. The same goes for using noisy away messages : use the command "/away " to set your client away silently - See also !Guidelines [02:43] unagi, you should be more patient, maybe you didn't notice but my question is repeated once, and i'm here like half an hour [02:43] * nickrud is glad he wears glasses [02:43] s_spiff: it's still gone. I only have one panel, the top one. It's not trying to load in the "second" panel that's not there, or anything is it?

The it must have already loaded. Ok do one thing. Just right click on any panel of your choice, and click on Add to Panel [02:46] * IdleOne takes knife out of nickrud's eye and places it firly in his chest. that's how it is done gyaresu [02:46] unagi, not hostile at all, jsut good avice === RiXtEr_ is now known as RiXtEr [02:46] firmly* [02:46] gah [02:46] anakrakatoa, no problem (whats kindof wifi card do you have btw?)

[02:46] s_spiff: all that's there is "Network Monitor". It doesn't seem to have the same interface. [02:46] Ward1983:it is rtl8187b [02:47] bgt421, do you want the interface where you can modify your ip add and such stuff?

[03:05] goldenratio would have to ask on #mandriva [03:05] its a fresh installation [03:05] glick, /usr/lib/firefox I believe [03:05] s_spiff: Fixed it: I didn't have the "Notification area" in the panel. Doh!

Any ideas why this happens? [03:07] matkix: missing the 'gw' [03:07] s_spiff: Thanks a lot! That probably would've been a hard one to crack "by the book". I created a new user and discovered that's what I didn't have. [03:07] anthis: what kind of wireless card do you have in your laptop? lspci will show it in the terminal, or lsusb if it is a usb dongle [03:07] unagi: usb? unplug >> replug [03:07] just not sure how i set it up... its recognizing my network card in the restricted drivers list... but in network connections doesn't show wireless capabilities [03:07] matkix, yeah, what is gw? [03:07] anthis: dont paste in the channel though [03:07] no no my mouse works fine i just thought it didnt but its the surface im on i forgot it doesnt see the surface [03:07] bgt421, I'll remember next time to ask anyone what all do they have on their panel. My bad. :P [03:07] biouser: gateway option of the 'route' command [03:07] gyaresu, I get SIOCADDRT: No such process [03:08] anyone here run subversion over http? [03:08] unagi: lol [03:08] unagi: lmao [03:08] =) [03:08] bazhang you get the msg? [03:08] matkix: file exists. Means it's already there. check 'route' by itself. Can you ping now? [03:08] unagi always carry a mousepad (and a small bottle) [03:08] anthis: you registered? best not to pm--others can learn from your experience [03:09] yup lol [03:09] Hi... is there anybody from Vancouver? [03:09] hey [03:09] how long does it usually take tracker to do its thing [03:09] gyaresu, Well I'm connected now to the net via eth1 so... would that be the problem? [03:09] k [03:09] because when I go to tracker search tool , I get no results on anything [03:09] rideick: this is a support channel--you have a support question? [03:09] rideick: any jobs going there? :) [03:09] matkix: default gw is still 192.168.1.1 for eth1 [03:10] matkix: What are you trying to do? [03:10] gyaresu, Connect to the net via my lan card not my wifi. [03:10] gy [03:10] Hey guys is it possible to get Deluge or qbittorrent to work in ubuntu dapper? [03:10] gyaresu, My wifi is the only thing the network manager picked up. [03:10] bailey321, what do you mean "possible" [03:10] its not in the repos ? [03:11] probably too old [03:11] benb: monter.com and #ubuntu-offtopic [03:11] bailey321 if it isn't available inthe repos it shoujld be possible to compile it [03:11] na dont think so [03:11] benb: monster.com and #ubuntu-offtopic [03:11] bazhang, I dont need support.. I just wanna talk to anybody about linux here in vancouver [03:11] he meant monster.com [03:11] yeah [03:11] ohh [03:11] bazhang you get the msg now?

[03:12] I'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. [03:13] Jaan_, thanks [03:13] no vancouver [03:13] aszwet1: rtorrent yes... [03:13] th0r, thanks [03:13] ubuntu-newhampshire , ubuntu-main [03:13] a bunch of others ... but no vancouver [03:13] can someone tell me: can you run a whole CD in wine... like one that would do something if you just popped it in... [03:13] gyaresu rtorrent-svn and then wtorrent webui? [03:13] athe: uh oh; envy [03:13] biouser, yeah ... I did it with starcraft [03:13] !envy | athe [03:13] athe: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [03:14] athe: Please avoid using scripts like envy... [03:14] aszwet1: rTorrent 0.7.1 - libTorrent 0.11.1 from command line [03:14] basically...wine emulates (it does!) a windows install , so you basically install something "into" wine... [03:14] ekim|dt-linux, I think I found the .exe that runs when you put the CD in [03:14] bazhang: did that help? [03:14] biouser: no [03:14] so pop in the cd ... open a terminal and type /media/cdrom/setup.exe [03:14] actually [03:14] wine /media/cdrom/setup.exe [03:14] and that will install it "into" wine [03:15] if you want to remove it ... go to Applications -> wine -> Uninstall wine Software [03:15] hi, i have a dell xps m1530 with a sigmatel 9205. in the volume control app, it shows up as HDA Intel (Alsa mixer), or SigmaTel STAC9228 (OSS Mixer). either way, i can't seem to get the front line-in or the webcam mic working. any help? [03:15] Hi, im trying to open an dvb stream with mplayer, but the mplayer-gui always adds http:// to my url (ie. dvb://somechannel -> http://dvb://somechannel). everything works fine using the command line, but then im missing the controls. [03:15] ekim|dt-linux, thanks.. let me see... in this case 4381.exe [03:15] biouser, what cd is it ? [03:15] biouser: #Winehq has help with different programs... make sure you have run winecfg from terminal and setup your Wine.... [03:16] or http://appdb.winehq.org [03:16] My gutsy install (desktop and alternate cds) hang and never get past the "Starting system log daemon: syslogd, klogd." stage. It just hangs there with a blinking cursor.

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [03:16] can someone answer my original question [03:16] ekim|dt-linux, Jack_Sparrow thanks, let me work with that for a while... it is a scientific notebook program/lecture notes [03:16] gyaresu, So I took down eth1 and it kicked me fully offline. [03:16] anthis: no private messages please [03:16] biouser, sounds...exciting [03:16] test [03:16] Anyone here? [03:16] yes [03:16] no...you are all alone [03:17] all by yourself [03:17] haha [03:17] with NOBODY ELSE [03:17] lol, I got disconnected. [03:17] except a dog and a bunch of mannequins [03:17] !attitude | ekim|dt-linux [03:17] ekim|dt-linux: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [03:17] poor dog :( [03:17] anyhow...off-topic [03:17] matkix_: we can see you fine [03:17] ekim|dt-linux: be nice to do peoples please or the dog is going to bite you [03:17] eek, mannequins [03:17] I am joking sorry... [03:18] gyaresu, So I took down eth1 and it kicked me fully offline, So why when i run the ping -I eth0 it pings when eth1 is up? but take down eth1 and there goes eth0 [03:18] I am referencing the movie I am legend [03:18] They say there's luck in odd numbers... Did a dist-upgrade on a Feisty box this morning, after which the boot choked when it hit the filesystems that live in LVM partitions. I found that all it needed was "pvchange -a y" and control-D and then everything seemed to work, but of course it needs that run every time it boots. :-( Arguably I should have let the damn GUI run the update, but if I can no longer do Ubuntu dist upgrades over an SSH command lin [03:18] e it may no longer be the right choice for me. :-( :-( [03:18] havent seen it yet but thanks now you have ruined it for me :P [03:18] bazhang:what do you want me to paste....? [03:18] !wireless | anthis please read this first [03:18] anthis please read this first: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:19] Can someone help me with my network.... wired network not wireless. [03:19] can someone please access: http://webtechmedia.net/greg [03:19] IdleOne: good, otherwise the movie itself would have ruined itself (err) for you [03:19] wireless on linux is a bit tricky [03:19] yeah and pissing me off :/ [03:19] matkix_, well open the network manager [03:19] Soskel: Please do not post links with no descriotion of the problem you are having [03:19] i've read those wifidocs plenty [03:19] and still cant get it to work [03:19] it should be that little icon in your systray [03:19] anthis, what card do you have [03:19] ekim|dt-linux, Network manager won't show eth0 or I would have already done it. [03:20] Intel corp pro/wireless 3945abg network connection [03:20] matkix_, ahh...then you have a bigger problem [03:20] what is the default kernel installed on ubuntu 7.10? RT or Generic? [03:20] generic [03:20] anthis: then paste lspci (if internal nic) or lsusb if it is usb dongle [03:20] you need to get a working driver for your eth [03:20] its integrated in the laptop [03:20] lspc | grep eth [03:20] anthis, those are usually tricky [03:20] ekim|dt-linux, I know that.... I want to see if someone can help me to configure eth0 via ifconfig and get connected via my lan card not my wireless card. [03:20] very proprietary... [03:20] matkix_, I understand that [03:21] matkix_, do you have an odd lan card , because they are usually the easiest to get working [03:21] Its in a 1/1.2 year old ibm think pad [03:21] matkix_: Sorry. Work. did you try running those commands while eth1 was down? [03:21] gyaresu, yep [03:21] anthis: that is odd--should work out of the box--it is very well supported in linux and ubuntu in particular--what network are you trying to access? home? outside? what encryption protocol or is it open [03:21] matkix_: what's the ifconfig of eth1 at the moment. [03:21] if you do ifconfig , what do you get [03:21] do you SEE any ethernet devices ? [03:21] How do i use Openoffice to view .docx files? [03:22] is there a way to tell what kind of video card you have via the command line? [03:22] kr00l, you don't [03:22] gyaresu, Well eth 1 and eth0 are not on the same network. [03:22] pteague: lspci [03:22] kr00l: #openoffice.org [03:22] kr00l: office 2007? [03:22] bazhang:home network [03:22] i have a bunch of files named IMG_0001.jpg and i want to rename them to 0001.jpg instead. howdoi? [03:22] hong long does it take for tracker to start returning results [03:22] anthis: what ==wep. wpa, etc [03:22] Jack_Sparrow> cool, thanks... keep forgetting about that 1... don't use it enough ;) [03:22] ozzloy, do you have thunar installed ? [03:22] bazhang: correct it's a .docx file and i use open office. You can't use Office 07 on ubuntu can you? [03:23] W: GPG error: http://security.ubuntu.com gutsy-security Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu [03:23] np [03:23] matkix_: ah. then just drop the eth1 network and run 'dhclient eth0' that should get you up via dhcp. (make sure it's installed first) [03:23] it has a really nice bulk-rename feature [03:23] What does that mean? [03:23] bazhang: i believe its installed the drivers automatically... but in the network settings it doesn't include the wireless option [03:23] gyaresu, eth0 is connected directly to the internet... I mean directly, So you have to enter a real world ip to get online. [03:23] matkix_: >< [03:23] ozzloy: search synaptic for bulk rename [03:23] ekim|dt-linux: nope. i was thinking perl could do it somehow [03:23] matkix_, no router ? [03:23] gyaresu, Thus I need help doing so! :) [03:23] matkix_: right. Like a cable modem or somethign? [03:23] ozzloy, what ? [03:23] gyaresu, No ds3 and cat5 :P [03:23] ozzloy, what about perl ? [03:23] well i know perl can do it, but i don't know the syntax [03:23] what are you talking about ? [03:24] anthis: what is the router using? wep, wpa or other [03:24] * ekim|dt-linux is confused [03:24] matkix_: ah. Then can you give me the ip/netmask/gw that you should be using? [03:24] ekim|dt-linux, Well yes there is a router, A Cisco with my ds3 card. [03:24] anybody in here have any experience with apt-cacher? i'm getting unexpected results when i use it in conjunction with Acquire::http::Proxy “http://apt-cache-machine:3142″; [03:24] bazhang: its using wpa [03:24] kr00l: there is a thread at the forums on that--want me to google it for you? [03:24] been looking all over the web for a pdf how-to build the perfect server? [03:24] matkix_, why do you have two ethernet cards ? [03:24] matkix_, you can't use them both at the same time [03:24] anthis: any way to set to open while you try to connect? [03:24] bazhang: that would be great! [03:24] gyaresu, 12.168.100.102 12.168.96.1 255.255.0.0 is what I use on my other systems. [03:24] * IdleOne has 2 eth cards :/ [03:25] ekim|dt-linux, One is wireless. [03:25] ekim|dt-linux: i was thinking i could use perl to do it. or maybe "find" could do it [03:25] matkix_, ahh [03:25] ekim|dt-linux, I don't want to. I want to use my wired card. eth - [03:25] 0 [03:25] bazhang:negative... not with this router [03:25] but i don't know the syntax off the top of my head. i'm gonna look it up in the man page [03:25] ozzloy, do what !?!?

I have my vsftpd setup but it gives me a permission denied when I try to upload files to any directory but the users' home directory. [03:42] nickrud: I have never seen mirrors in my sources.list [03:42] bazhang:what do you mean what sound app? [03:42] hack184: you should run sudo apt-get update in a terminal and put the results on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [03:43] dimas_: ask in ##windows but dont tell them it is for ubuntu :} [03:43] I have tried editing the vsftpd.conf several times. [03:43] bazhang:i just did sudo aptitude install flac [03:43] IdleOne: I use a mirror :) [03:43] jett_: what are you using to listen to music type app = application, software program etc [03:43] nickrud do you know if is posible to update video codecs source some how? [03:43] nickrud: k then :) [03:44] WNxCryptic you should also be able to upload to directories under the user directory...but that is it. A security issue [03:44] app = amarok/rhythmbox [03:44] IdleOne: if you go to software sources, and select the dropdown for the archive, you can select other, then hit a button that will find the fastest mirror for you [03:44] nickrud: and they never crack?

[03:44] WNxCryptic but what you want is very poor security and I would advise against it [03:45] Darkmystere: the link to the deb file is not working [03:45] jett_: iirc there is a specific bit for amarok, let me check [03:45] tho0r: its a development server [03:45] nickrud: mums the word [03:45] Jangari: Is you pcspeakers playing at the same time as your headpones? [03:45] th0r: security is of very little concern. [03:45] WNxCryptic in the config...something along the lines of chroot user [03:45] yes, tssom [03:45] Did u try Synaptics? [03:45] dimas_: you can install the w32codecs for xine , and ubuntu-restricted-extras for totem [03:45] WNxCryptic if you pastebin the config I will see if I can find it for you [03:46] Jangari: What i did, was i muted surround and and added front. [03:46] RoxanneEDM: or ADD/Remove Programs if u go to sound and video and scroll down u should see it [03:46] okay, where does one do that? in the sound settings [03:46] bazhang:ok but i dont think thats the issue. cause sound for flashplayer in firefox doesnt work either [03:46] Jangari: Yes [03:46] hack184: how are you doing on getting that output, having any issues? [03:46] hey guys, for some reason i can play back extremely high resolution videos (1280x720 and 1920x1080) perfectly in mplayer, but they stutter horribly in totem. How can improve totems playback to prevent this? [03:46] th0r: "chroot_local_user=YES" is commented out [03:47] nickrud from add programs? [03:47] i got it figured out [03:47] WNxCryptic it is commented out because yes is the default. Take out the comment and change it to no...and remember you have to restart the server [03:47] Is it possible to install Ubuntu PPC on a hard drive to be used in a PPC mac, from an x86 computer? [03:47] jscinoz: you can change the backend of totem by installing totem-xine , that may help [03:47] for some reason it wanted to go to that site then i changed it back to the main server [03:47] hen [03:48] th0r: what's the directory for /init.d/ there's something before it..like SOMETHING/init.d/vsftpd restart [03:48] dimas_: the restricted extras, yes, the w32codecs go here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#head-381bea41610683e5e26322fd7028e7aef85e3105-2 [03:48] WNxCryptic /etc/init.d [03:48] nickrud, alright one moment while i test it. [03:48] jett_: hmm sounds like two different issues [03:49] will gnome baker make video DVDs? [03:49] jscinoz: mplayer is a pretty sophisticated player, the gstreamer backend for totem is getting better .... [03:49] WNxCryptic you may still run into issues since you need root permission to write to the entire tree === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [03:49] what backend does mplayer use? ffmpeg? [03:49] WNxCryptic there may also be a config entry for 'allow root login' [03:49] WNxCryptic (working off memory) [03:50] WNxCryptic (OLD memory) [03:50] Rox - you may be interested in - google 'ubuntu gutsy author video dvd' - http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+gutsy+author+video+dvd&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a [03:50] bazhang:should i try to fix it or reinstall? [03:50] http://netwolfuk.wordpress.com/2007/12/07/amarok-two-years-on/ he recommends using the xine engine as opposed to gstreamer for amarok jett_ [03:50] WNxCryptic (old VOLATILE memory) [03:50] jscinoz: I think it has it's own libs [03:50] Is anyone else experiencing that firefox crashes alot in 7.10? [03:50] oh [03:50] jett_: the flash issue is another problem [03:50] bazhang: ok ill try that thanks [03:50] it happens mostly when watching videos in firefox [03:51] Hi all, I was wondering if anyone else is having a problem with ubuntu keeping the correct time? [03:51] hey guys...tryna install ubuntu without desktop coming out..how can i make this possible [03:51] from live cd [03:51] shadowhywind: you don't happen to have a dual boot? [03:51] hey guys, I need some quick help [03:51] joses: the alt installer has a server version [03:51] joses: why not just get the alternate cd if you dont want to see the desktop [03:51] joses: not sure I understood the question ... [03:52] I run Ubuntu on one of my HD's and XP on the other [03:52] markd I do dual boot, But i haven't booted into vista in over 203 weeks [03:52] today my XP decided to die [03:52] and I want to get stuff off of it [03:52] any way I can do that through Ubuntu? [03:52] shadowhywind: doesn't that make you sort of a virtual dualbooter? [03:52] shadowhywind has vista been out four years already!? [03:52] haha [03:52] or theoretical? [03:52] lol th0r [03:52] the oem version wont go throuh with it..i got a live cd..i know i installed it once without my desktop loading..some sort of code..cant remember [03:52] sorry 2-3 weeks.. hehe [03:53] joses: save yourself some headache and get the alternate cd--you want server or desktop version? [03:53] another q does 64 bit take longer to install than 32 bit? [03:53] also why would dual booting cause ubuntu to lose track of time? [03:53] dt not serv === j_ack__ is now known as j_ack [03:53] shadowhywind: your windows might have reset the hardware clock [03:53] Hello! I am trying to open up a program that I have on my desktop, but it says it can't open it because of too many open files. How do I increase the maximum number of files I can have open? [03:54] anyone know? [03:54] shadowhywind: Ubuntu and widows disagree what the bios clock should be set to [03:54] joses: not sure about time--but havent heard that it is longer to install 64bit desktop [03:54] Hardware clock. which every it is called ;D [03:54] * nickrud meant what markd said, but didn't say it well [03:54] can some one help me test my irc? /server linuxmain.net then /join #linuxmain [03:55] thats the other thing, I just got my laptop back from the repair shop, Booted into vista once to see that the repairs were fixed. Ever since then I have been in ubuntu. And it seams that the Bios clock is also getting screwed up [03:55] In fact, I seem to be unable to open anything now [03:55] Zasch: short answer get more ram [03:55] So... If I wanted to in bash shell scripting make the script echo a Wait for 10 sec then make it wait for 10 sec what would the command for it to wait be? [03:55] bazhang: How much RAM do I need? [03:55] Wait? [03:55] Is there any way for me to access my XP HD from my Ubuntu HD if I boot the XP as a slave to Ubuntu? [03:55] is it possible to install faster..stays stuck on 15% [03:56] matkix sleep [03:56] I think windows sets it to local time while ubuntu uses UTC and adjusts to local. But I might be wrong. [03:56] yes Murdoc650, with ntfs-3g [03:56] th0r, ty! [03:56] zzzzzz [03:56] ok thanks for the info. [03:56] I'm trying to learn how i would install .tar.gz files using the terminal. Can someone help me? [03:57] why doesnt ubuntu support root? [03:57] Jennny, you have some reading to do.. :) In short.. Uncompress it.. cd to the dir. ./configure , make, sudo make install. [03:57] SANTAbios, use sudo [03:57] Jennny place the file where you want it to be and type 'tar -xvzf filename' [03:57] SANTAbios, it does support it.. direct logging in is disbled for security reasons. [03:57] tssom, it's probably due to the plugin you are using, not firefox itself [03:57] !sudo | SANTAbios [03:57] SANTAbios: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [03:58] th0r, 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] i think ubuntu is not that cool [03:58] SANTAbios, demand a refund then. [03:58] :) [03:58] i downloaded ubuntu live cd but it freezes after choosing start/install [03:58] SANTAbios, What did you expect of it? [03:58] freebsd [03:58] i like freebsd [03:58] this is linux.. use what you want.. no one is forceing you to use ubuntu. [03:59] matkix 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 with [03:59] SANTAbios, Please see freebsd.org [03:59] okay then use it. [03:59] SANTAbios, Have a nice day! [03:59] just jokin [03:59] i love ubuntu [03:59] th0r: I'm trying to install "install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz" but what you just told me to doesen't work. [04:00] will ubuntu 7.10 work on my amd 64 bit laptop? [04:00] All, 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] roro98812, processor wise it should [04:00] echo [04:00] Helo [04:00] I need to REALLY kill a process [04:00] matkix, there are some dialog programs that let scripts generate alerts and so forth. [04:00] ok thx ashfire [04:00] what argument should use [04:00] biouser, kill? [04:00] Hello. [04:00] !kill [04:00] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [04:01] #kill 9208 [04:01] Dr_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] but with like a -b for brutally kill [04:01] For 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] Jennny what you asked didn't quite match what you are trying to do. There is an issue with flashplayer in ubuntu at the moment [04:01] !flash [04:01] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [04:01] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken.

[04:02] I have this splash screen from win [04:02] kill -s [04:03] Jennny 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 firefox [04:03] For 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] so $kill -s 9 #### [04:03] ? [04:03] biouser, should do it [04:03] Anyone.

[04:04] Hi if I wanted to BKDM into Ubunto to make the SSA package 20k bytes, how would I do so? [04:04] IdleOne, so i can get it for ubuntu? [04:04] Jennny 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 folder [04:04] Jennny in what folder is the tar.gz file? [04:04] skyline_-: umm what is bkdm? [04:05] the package [04:05] i dunno what its used for [04:05] th0r: it's flash player 9 plugin that fixes the ubuntu problem [04:05] no idea then skyline_- [04:05] skyline_-, well you need to take idkwyta and then tmwyata.

[04:14] the "ls" command doesnt seem to work on occasion [04:14] racarter: what is the issue? please be precise [04:14] th0r: it's 'sudo ./flashplayer-installer' [04:14] the issue is it sucks [04:14] Hi all I am getting this error "sudo: must be setuid root" I wanted to enter recovery console from boot menu to recover back my sudo, but unexpectedly I commented those lines from my grub... I can't uncomment them without sudo neither I had su enabled :(, can any body help me getting my sudo back [04:14] ;)\ [04:14] very suddenly the computer cannot access the network [04:14] ping -c 3 www.yahoo.com fails for example [04:14] Jennny hey...not bad for old memory ...I was close [04:14] racarter: watch your language and calm down. explain what is going on and someone will try to help. [04:14] !calm > Ashfire908 [04:15] i did sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [04:15] racarter: sounds like a hardware issue--if you have a specific support question then ask away--if you just want to kibbutz then join #ubuntu-offtopic [04:15] Jennny 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 that [04:15] my specific question i guess is where do i start troubleshooting at this point [04:15] the "ls" command doesnt seem to work on occasion anyone got any ideas as to why [04:15] how can i prove it's a hardware problem.. i honestly don't believe it is for some reason [04:16] racarter: what card and chipset for that nic? [04:16] i have a feeling if i reboot it will work === _ajmorris_ is now known as ajmorris [04:16] i dont knwo [04:16] know [04:16] racarter, Things I do is I change my DNS to OpenDNS, for some odd reason my location document in the network manager applet keeps changing so I change that or configure it again . Not sure if that will help you though :( [04:16] racarter: when did it stop working [04:16] th0r: works great! [04:16] !drinking a budwaiser | ashfire908 [04:16] Jennny does firefox work too? [04:16] dimas_: please dont [04:17] sorry [04:17] i just noticed it now, how do i find out what nic card i have? [04:17] racarter, what does ifconfig eth0 give? (pastebin it) [04:17] th0r: how do i learn how to use the terminal like a power user? Yep fire fox too. did: '/usr/lib/firefox' [04:17] Jennny ok...then you can delete the tar.gz file and the folder it created on the desktop [04:17] racarter: it was working before? before what--what happened or was it just sudden you did nothing [04:17] racarter, unless it's a oneliner [04:17] its hard to pastebin since it's on another machine that does not have network access.. but i dont think i see anything unusual there [04:17] Jennny there are tutorials on the web about using bash and the command prompt [04:18] it has an etho and lo interfaces [04:18] racarter: dont paste in the channel but is there a iwconfig listing at all? [04:18] th0r: can you link me one that would be helpful or that you have learned from? [04:18] Jenny http://www.hypexr.org/bash_tutorial.php [04:18] racarter, doe eth0 have a vaild ip and stuff and has "UP" somewhere? [04:18] iwconfig says no wireless extensions [04:18] http://www.ss64.com/bash/ jenny also see here [04:18] Jenny ALL the answers are in the ABS.... http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [04:18] i never heard of that command before [04:19] hey guys, does anybody know of an applet that i can install in my taskbar that will let me control the setting of my mouse......i need it because i alternate between mouse and touchpad [04:19] Can I just paste fonts into the gksu nautilus fonts:// window to get them to work? [04:19] murch, sounds ridiculous [04:19] !fonts > Ashfire908 [04:19] racarter: then your wireless card is not recognized; was it working with ubuntu before? gutsy I assume [04:19] i know [04:19] !fonts | Learning-Ubuntu [04:19] Learning-Ubuntu: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash?

[04:21] oh yes [04:21] fcmatt: they are the experts--I use nvidia so no help here [04:21] Alonea, magic I think [04:21] thats whats puzzling me [04:21] bazhang, i realize that, but that did not help me lastnight or today [04:21] biouser: lol. yeah, us slack people are confused as hell. tried the modeline thing and it just doesn't work. [04:21] murch, just on certain files? [04:21] biouser: wonder if there is a dev in here that knows [04:22] is mysql still open source? [04:22] nope every thing in the directory [04:22] Alonea, because ubuntu rocks [04:22] fcmatt: there are several posts in the forums on that or youcould just keep trying here as many have that card--may need to be patient though [04:22] racarter, sorta [04:22] Alonea, just quit [04:22] racarter: I think so [04:22] sorta?

[04:23] th0r: thanks for your help [04:23] crdlb: what are you talking about? [04:23] yep [04:23] fcmatt: in #compiz-fusion [04:23] th0r: i think i have figured out what is wrong with you hp laptop [04:23] murch, maybe a permission thing? [04:23] crdlb: nobody was talking and i had to sleep [04:23] is it because a process is writing to the folder [04:23] http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=631483 here is one such link fcmatt [04:24] restarting my computer did not solve the network problem apparently [04:24] Is there a simple program that lets me limit the global upload rate on my system? [04:24] is there a bot that can tell me about packags ? [04:24] maybe it is a hardware problem [04:24] some_dude, yes [04:24] tssom: traffic shaping? firestarter may be able to do that--or just the torrent client itself can be configured [04:24] !packages [04:24] You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search ", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways!

The good news....there are plenty of people on google looking for it [04:25] Will cdda2wav rip faster than cdparanioa?

(and it's not torrent) [04:25] fcmatt: x1300 pro? that link is for that card [04:25] bazhang: x300 [04:25] tssom: sure [04:25] some_dude, !info does it, but if you want to do it for more than one or two use private messages [04:25] fcmatt: why is that? I answered your original question [04:25] giggle the network cable?

[04:27] fcmatt: aha; well keep trying here, and you will likely find someone who has that card, but it may not be instantaneous :} [04:27] Yay -- fixed my codec problem. [04:27] biouser: you used automatix or other before? [04:28] racarter: all sorted then? [04:28] bazhang, yeah... not on this box, but I think that this file has some fancy DRM stuff too... [04:28] i have a bunch of files of the form ABC_####.XYZ and i'd like them all to be ####.xyz how do i do that? [04:28] biouser: I would suspect as much for the drm--some work and a very few dont sorry I cant help more [04:29] Bye all! [04:29] bazhang, yes i think so [04:29] ozzloy: use the 'rename' command [04:29] i have a bunch of files of the form "ABC_####.XYZ" and i'd like them all to be "####.xyz" how do i do that on the command line? [04:29] ubuntu can handle some DRM files? [04:29] jrib: oic [04:29] racarter: tried it out yet? if it still doesnt work then ask again and we can likely sort it out [04:29] Question: Is there any way to check the filesystem type of a mounted hard drive? [04:29] ozzloy: 'man rename' has some examples. You need to understand regular expressions though [04:29] biouser: like what for instance? [04:29] any ideas on mysql.h ? [04:30] bazhang: it's blacklisted [04:30] !filesystem [04:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about filesystem - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:30] ozzloy there is an irc that can help with that...#bash, #bash-scripting, something like that [04:30] hello, can anyone get me the md5 hash for ubuntu-7.10-dvd-amd64, plz?

[04:31] kind of upsetting, yo! things just aren't cool with ubuntu anymore [04:31] bazhang: can you please explain to me how i can limit the upload on my program with firestarter? i really dont got any idea how to work a firewall [04:31] bloodboy: this isnt a windows channel sorry [04:31] bloodboy, we cant help with windows problems.

[04:38] bloodboy: no idea [04:38] sorry to mention Windows here, but that is the only OS working now [04:38] bloodboy, it could be bad in the middle of a file.. not where its being looked at initially [04:38] if the md5 sums do no tmatch r u sure i have to download again? [04:38] bloodboy: we cant really do anything with windows since this is a totally different operationg system [04:38] bloodboy being able to mount the CD simply means the directory is intact...it says nothing about the data on the rest of the disk [04:39] bloodboy: several people have advised you to get a new download--what you do with that advice is up to you [04:39] bloodboy: yes [04:39] if the md5s dont match.. redownload.. end of story. [04:39] jesh [04:39] bloodboy: md5 sum confirms that all the peices are in the correct order.

[04:41] thank you th0r [04:41] because its the first time i use md5 on files [04:41] biouser great news! [04:41] !info devede [04:41] devede: program to create video DVDs.

I will try that one next. :) [04:41] back in a moment [04:41] When you transfer gigs of data, probability that a bad byte will slip in ... happens. [04:41] still no good [04:41] any articles on that? [04:41] i liked Nero on windows.... maybe under WINE? [04:42] it really breaks my confeidence [04:42] RoxanneEDM, i also like nero.. [04:42] Dr_willis I had it for years and never realized it would do the conversion. And was pleasantly surprised...it did a good job. Have created several dvd's from avi's and they all worked fairly well [04:42] bloodboy, you were never around in the modem days. :) bad dloads were common then.

[04:42] how come like when i use Windows Update, there is no mention of md5 sum on the files? [04:42] bloodboy: because they probably do it behind the scenes.. [04:42] bloodboy because windows can't count that high [04:43] bloodboy, they are usingtheir own verification. Ive downloaded exe's that when i ran. windows would say they were bad.. [04:43] windows update does it's own check during unpacking. [04:43] lol, 2 points for th0r [04:43] if I drop a debian package on to the system will it break ? [04:43] bloodboy: your not gonna get your issue solved .. redown the package and check the md5sum [04:43] some_dude depends...what's it made of? [04:43] how do i get the addon for compiz ? so i can add in 3D environment [04:43] then install. [04:43] They put the md5 in the metadata me thinks (of the file that is). [04:43] i can [04:43] some_dude: depends on the package, but it's not a good idea [04:43] i can't [04:43] my bandwidth is capped now [04:43] RoxanneEDM there's also a nero for linux see the nero.com website [04:43] according to the alsa website, the latest version of alsa is 1.0.15, but according to synaptic the latest version is 1.0.13.....does anybody know whats up with that? [04:43] i busted my download quota [04:44] sorry to hear about that [04:44] now internet is so slow and i cant try Ubuntu :( [04:44] LadyNikon: bloodboy If you have a link then you can possibly 'wget -c file.iso' [04:44] bloodboy -- just ask for the CDs via mail. It's free. [04:44] nano_: because 1.0.15 (and .14) were released after ubuntu froze [04:44] capped bandwith and its only the 7th? gesh. [04:44] nano__, ubuntu is a little behind the bleeding edge [04:44] gyaresu: ? [04:44] what do you guys mean by "ubuntu froze" [04:44] 19th this month it will come back [04:44] LadyNikon: If he's downloading a file that's possibly not complete then perhaps a 'continue' with wget will fix it. [04:44] Search Advance Desktop Effects in Add/Remove programs ?? [04:44] Hey can someone give me some one on one help with installing this piece of software? http://home-tj.org/wiki/index.php/Libata-tj-stable === ubuntu is now known as EdwardXp [04:44] bloodboy --> took me about 2 weeks to get mine. You get 4~6 copies usually. You can give some to friends. [04:45] This is an "ubuntu" support room...please limit your questions to "ubuntu" related topics...thanks :) [04:45] the file is complete [04:45] I'm trying to install the adobe flash player so I can watch flash videos online but I cant get it to install, can anyone help? [04:45] .. [04:45] nano_: about 2 months before release, the package version's freeze, that is, don't change. After that, there will never be an updated package except for security or serious usability bug [04:45] i checked the file length [04:45] !flash | Murdoc650 [04:45] Murdoc650: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [04:45] !flash [04:45] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [04:45] hehe [04:45] I win. [04:45] is there anyway to repair the file? [04:45] :) [04:45] thanks [04:45] like perform data correction? [04:45] nickrud: so your saying i can't install alsa 1.0.15 using synaptic on my ubuntu 7.04 [04:45] bloodboy: What file did you download? [04:46] !info alsa [04:46] Package alsa does not exist in gutsy [04:46] bloodboy > you'd need the good file to compare to the badfile I think. [04:46] ubuntu-7.10-dvd-amd64.iso [04:46] nano_: gutsy will have 1.0.13 until it's end of life. And correct, unless you find a deb package or create it yourself [04:46] the new way with the binary from adobe just works... takes some amt. of brain, but not a geek to get'r done [04:46] MD5 : ca2d8ec01427aee582cdd990362e7dcb [04:46] nano__: No, you would have to build it from source probably. [04:46] bloodboy, thers no real need to download the dvd either.. the cd will install the os just fine [04:46] SHA1: 1ac9819aa0a65008be5e1a7bd203b38d3fb08490 [04:46] <_Ahti> Woah, did yous know that if you write /quit you can kick people off te channel 0.0 [04:46] nano_: with security fixes backported from the current releases to the version in ubuntu of course [04:46] Bloodboy, just redownload the file...or get the cd....which will take 4-6 weeks...or get the dvd..which will take maybe 4 weeks. [04:46] bloodboy: Does your ISP have a free mirror? That is usually the case and they don't cap you for that. [04:46] sup [04:46] whats the difference between the cd and the DVD? [04:46] very interesting.....thanks fellow [04:46] :( [04:47] _Ahti: that is unacceptable conduct on a support channel [04:47] <_Ahti> Probably [04:47] !ops _Ahti spamming lamer kiddy suff [04:47] I applied these iptables rules from here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo and it seems to have slowed down my server. Is that possible? [04:47] The dvd contains the repositories and the cd doesnt. [04:47] Hi all, I've been using gusty and am running into some wireless problems here at home. It's working great at the office so I don't think it's a driver issue. Can anyone help? [04:47] nano__, it is not that hard to build from source, but a bit dangerous in that it can confuse the system a bit in my experience... though I had some good success with it eventually [04:47] here goes the kicking. [04:47] bloodboy >> do you have LUG in your area? (Linux User Group) ... maybe someone already has a copy. [04:47] <_Ahti> Atleast i know that ubuntu community has grown a little [04:47] bloodboy, or an Ubuntu Local group [04:47] bloodboy >> sneakernet is still very reliable. [04:47] I am a LUG supporter for the baton rouge area. [04:47] lol [04:47] lol [04:47] what is the difference between alsa-lib and alsa-utils? [04:47] lol [04:47] hah [04:47] booom! [04:47] yay jrib [04:47] jrib, nice [04:48] 2points for jrib [04:48] * Doonz waits in the corner [04:48] i dont understand... [04:48] lib is libraries and utils are tools [04:48] ? [04:48] Bloodboy, what do you not understand? [04:48] what about alsa-drivers [04:48] how come the Ubuntu FTP servers give me a corrupt download? [04:48] nano__ are you considering building from source? [04:48] Doonz: nobody waits in the corner around here [04:48] th0r: yes i am [04:48] nano__ they are parts of the whole of alsa [04:48] blooboy >> ftp is not self-correcting. [04:48] nano__ let's go to offtopic [04:48] bloodboy, data can get messed up during transmission. [04:48] how long does a distro upgrade take from 7.04 to 7.10 in the update manager? [04:48] i use ATI drivers and NVIDIA exe files, and never check the md5 sum [04:48] Is there any terminal command that'll show me all programs that I can launch from the terminal? [04:48] nano__: I'm sure you can find a tutorial on building alsa from source on the internet [04:48] th0r: what is offtopic? [04:49] Vad1, hit tab a few times. [04:49] sorry [04:49] nugz1212: couple hours at least [04:49] bloodboy >> that's why sometimes it's better to download using bittorrent. [04:49] nano__ join #ubuntu-offtopic [04:49] Bloodboy, computers are never 100% foolproof or 100% error proof...thats just that. [04:49] is there any better way to download the DVD? [04:49] oh okay [04:49] Dr_willis: How can I use that with grep? [04:49] bloodboy >> use bittorrent. [04:49] nugz1212: maybe more depending on hardware and connectivity [04:49] nugz1212: depends on a lot of things (how many packages are installed, your connection, and your computer). But a couple of hours is probably a good guess [04:49] bloodboy: Does your ISP have a file mirror? [04:49] bloodboy, you dont really need the dvd at all.. and you could try torrents. [04:49] yes [04:49] my ISP has [04:49] Vad1, you dont really. thats the shells filename completion. [04:49] bloodboy: With ubuntu on it? [04:49] and....it dont have the download that i want [04:49] only has CD [04:49] Vad1, the commands you have avail - depens on your PATH basially. [04:49] Dr_willis: no way at all? [04:49] Doonz: ubuntu already has libata ..... [04:50] now i'm so sad :( [04:50] hi, im trying to add an ntfs raid, which ive done before but cant seem to get working this time around. when i go to run dmraid, i get the following output http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51176/ [04:50] even downloading from ISP mirrors is slow [04:50] bloodboy, all the other stuff is smaller... the extras you want [04:50] Vad1, 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] that would be on the DVD [04:50] ive seen torrents for the cd's and dvd's both. [04:50] bloodboy >> http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent [04:50] bloodboy: Ok. No offence but you don't sound like you need the 64bit version and you could do just fine with the normal cd not the dvd. Your ISP would also have the APT mirror by the sound of it so none of this would add to your bandwidth cap. [04:50] Dr_willis: I just need to find one, I was hoping I could | grep it [04:51] my installer freezes, not crashing, but freezes up at 39 out of 59 packages to upgrade [04:51] Vad1, type the first letter and hit tab perhaps? or use the locate command. [04:51] nickrud but is that with Pm support? [04:51] Dingbat: He's got His ISP's mirror apparently. Should use that as he's capped. [04:51] Vad1, or are you just trying to rember the name of it? [04:51] bloodboy, check this list to see if some group is near you... http://www.linux.org/groups/australia.html [04:51] sigh :*( [04:51] i can;t do anything now [04:51] Dr_willis: actually I'm trying to find out what it's called. It should contain the word "terminal" [04:51] Is it possible to open .pub files in Linux? [04:51] Bloodboy >> Near what town in Australia do you live in? [04:51] they capped me [04:51] they will get what you need ... if don't have already [04:52] Melbourne [04:52] no the usergroups [04:52] bloodboy: Who is your ISP? [04:52] Bigpond [04:52] Doonz: I'm not sure, but I think the 0808 release could be in the kernel, you could check the changelog [04:52] Vad1, looking for gnome-terninal ? [04:52] * Doonz is in over his head [04:52] Vad1, locate terminal | grep bin | less [04:52] Vad1: sudo updatedb ; locate terminal [04:52] Bloodboy >> http://www.mlug.org.au/ [04:52] should i go ahead and perform a repair on my PC? [04:52] Vad1, is one way [04:52] There's a linux user group in your area bloodboy. [04:53] Good evening [04:53] or take it to a technician [04:53] ? [04:53] ok [04:53] Doonz: lol, I'm swimming hard too :0 [04:53] bloodboy, there's a LUG in melbourne [04:53] bloodboy >> http://www.mlug.org.au/ [04:53] in addition, nothing shows up under the /dev/mapper/ folder [04:53] You could get some help from there. [04:53] bloodboy, only you know your own skills with repairing pc's :) You will want to learn how to do it all someday. [04:53] bloodboy - what plan you on? [04:53] Are any of you familiar with LBRC? It is a service that allows you to use a bluetooth device as a uinput device. [04:54] Dingbat, there you go that should help... he just needs to give them a buz [04:54] i'm so scared [04:54] my PC is hosed now :( [04:54] if i have rhythmbox running, i dont hear sound on videos that i play through firefox. any idea what could be wrong? [04:54] Windows won;t boot [04:54] bloodboy >> How are you in IRC if your PC is hosed? [04:54] using my brothers PC [04:55] ny data is not here though :( [04:55] bloodboy >> Just contact your town's LUG -- I'm sure you can find a bloke there who will be happy to help. [04:55] ok [04:55] Bloodboy >> Maybe all you need is get the MBR restored (the original windows one). [04:56] i'm not sure what happened exactly [04:56] when the dual boot installation was finalising...than the whole machine crashed [04:56] I wanna thank each and every operator and helper of this chat room for what you do. :) [04:56] Why would the password popup for Administrative Tasks hang for a very long time after entering my password? It happens on my desktop, but not on my media PC. [04:56] literally crashed [04:56] and that is pretty simple to try ... tis worth a shot... boot windows cd and do recovery console then type fixmbr i think [04:56] the whole screen just blacked out and the hard disk look like it powered down [04:57] i though there was a power failure.. [04:57] Well -- first thinkg that happens in a multiboot setup is that the boot record gets changed ... grub gets installed ... you could fix your master boot record using your windows CD. [04:57] There's a command called fixmbr. [04:57] now when i turn on my PC there is only a black screen [04:57] how do i get firefox to open mms links with xmms rather than totem? [04:57] do you think the hardwae is spoilt? [04:58] can installing a corrupt Ubuntu image cause this problem? [04:58] nephlim, try setting using about:config in the address bar and search for mms ? [04:58] bloodboy, given the limited info yuve given.. i doubt if we can tell. [04:58] bloodboy: do you see the BIOS message? [04:58] nephlim: edit -> preferences -> content -> file types [04:58] bloodboy >> sounds more like a hardware failure. If all you get is a black screen, could be bad RAM, bad HD controller. Doubt it's your OS that did that. [04:58] or what musikgoat said [04:58] bloodboy: http://askbobrankin.com/fix_mbr.html [04:58] BIOS message then loading PBR....2 [04:58] i'm trying to start a remote desktop session using vnc. i ran "vncserver :1" on the remote machine, but when i connect, it is stuck on the ubuntu (gnome) splash screen forever... [04:58] BLACK SCREEN [04:59] get a live CD [04:59] Can Anyone help me with getting my Port Multiplier to work? [04:59] Hmm. [04:59] i tried booting from CD but it didn't work [04:59] How do I select a different default sound device for ALSA? [04:59] my brother did that actually [04:59] * googlah haves a swedish snus [04:59] Hey.. I'm 3/4 of the way to getting a samba share to work. 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 share [04:59] ? [04:59] Blooboy >> Your machine is a DELL right? [05:00] yes [05:00] Im doing a report on Linux and was wondering, what is the correct term of the command line only thing on F2-6? [05:00] Lurner, i alwsya make xp and linux users with identical names and passwords.. and i also give the linux user a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' [05:00] musikgoat, I tried the file types, and there's nothing there that lists mms type. in any event, everything is set to xmms anyway, and still no dice. [05:00] my mother won;t allow me to go to the LUG meeting [05:00] Lurner, i make that password identical to the users password. :) [05:00] Blooboy >> http://www.howtofixcomputers.com/bb/ftopic154522.html [05:00] Lurner: Try to make a simple system user [05:00] Searching ubuntuforums.org really sucks... =\ [05:00] For those interested – Pre Meeting drinks/snacks at 6pm JAWA Bar – 297 Victoria St. North Melbourne. [05:00] Creed: the console? [05:00] I can't drink [05:00] Creed: A terminal, or console [05:00] .... [05:00] nephlim: see if nomasteryoda's suggestion pan's out then? [05:00] and those ppl are way older than me... [05:00] Bloodboy >> http://www.howtofixcomputers.com/bb/ftopic154522.html [05:00] I thought Beer flowed in the streets down there... :) [05:01] ali1234 / PurpZeY really? Thought it was something else...tty...what does tty stand for? [05:01] !tty [05:01] To 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] Dr willis y u said so? [05:02] Bloodboy, from what I'm reading about PBR 2 error, it could be that you trashed the utility partition that DELL installs on your machine. [05:02] bazhang: i've tried to block the port the downloader is using for upload. but it's not working, what am i doing wrong? [05:02] yeah dingbat [05:02] PurpZeY, but what does tty stand for? [05:02] Hi, in gutsy there is something wrong with audio. [05:02] heh, ive trashed the recovery partition of my HP laptop...hp said i was done..i proved them wrong by recovering my rc partition. [05:03] can some1 help me out ? [05:03] Creed: I don't know. I'm sure someone does, if no on here does I imagine google does [05:03] i think i better spent 500 aussie dollars to get it fixed by an IT professional [05:03] Creed: Teletypewriter [05:03] bazhang: also, is there a way to block all ip's instead of just 1 and 1 ip? [05:03] i don't wanna lose my data [05:03] Bloodboy >> You might want to call DLL. [05:03] iam jus a bit confused about ubuntu [05:03] DELL that is [05:03] Creed: see also man chvt. tty originally stood for teletype i believe [05:03] i got friends pictures inside [05:03] bloodboy, remove hd.. put it in 2nd machine.. backup imporntant data. [05:03] They might have tools to fix the Boot records on their stuff. [05:03] gyaresu, agh lol think Ill stick to tty, sounds more technical. [05:03] wine is the program that helps you run windows app. on ubuntu rite [05:03] sigh,,, expensive lesson [05:03] well night all. [05:03] i 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] Creed: PGP is Pretty Good Protection :) /ot [05:04] its scary when just removing a recovery partition can trash a machine... [05:04] gyaresu, heh that I love ;) [05:04] Hi. When i try to boot ubuntu it keeps failing to load the GUI then goes to a blue screen explaining it. Now i'm at the command line. Anyone know how to fix this? [05:04] upgrade still sitting at 39 out of 59 packages [05:04] bloodboy: How most of us start really :) Give you something you HAVE to learn how to fix. [05:04] Yep, dr...but when you have the cd's its not too too bad... [05:04] even then.. the rc souldent stop the machien from booting the cd. [05:04] no 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_Willis >> I ghost my machines (Acronis True Image) before I do anything on them. [05:04] apocalypt1: "title bars"? you mean, the panels, or window decorations? [05:04] Dr_Willis >> I have a USB Drive that I use just for pre-emptive imaging. [05:04] Dingbat, same here :) [05:05] My Gateway has a little rescue partition.. not sure what it does exactly. :) [05:05] Dr_Willis >> Saved my derriere. [05:05] apocalypt1: 6200 is more than adequate [05:05] Flynsarmy: Is this a new system? Upgraded kernel? Used automatix? [05:05] what to add to sources.list to get medibuntu? link? [05:05] bloodboy >> before spending money ... call Dell. Maybe they can help you fix it. [05:05] my hp came with a recovery partition..i removed it...then re-installed it with a program that hp said they couldnt put back on my pc...and it came from their website. [05:05] bloodboy >> they may be able to restore the system from the rescue partition. [05:06] Im sure theres plenty of guides/sites/info about dells and how to rescue them.. [05:06] bloodboy >> you did create your rescue CD/DVD right? [05:06] Dr_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] Dingbat, I hope he did..if not...wow...bad bad bad thing. [05:06] gyaresu: 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 began [05:06] Dingbat: Generally, in my experience, they will tell you if you messed with the partition table you screwed it and are on your own [05:07] ali1234:ok, good. any idea whats wrong? [05:07] hello all... ubuntu newbie, am i in the right place? [05:07] Purp...yeah, but ive got a little thing called an A+ certification that keeps my butt safe :) [05:07] apocalypt1: sounds like nothing is wrong at all [05:07] WinShade: Yes. [05:07] Yes you are Winshade :) [05:07] what is the name of the software that will make 2 hds look like 1? [05:07] gyaresu: After they installed i rebooted and my screen resolution was gone. so i went into xorg.conf and added 1440x900 to the screen res list, rebooted and now can't get the GUI at all [05:07] Flynsarmy: You've updated packages that are now messed up because of automatix. Hard to help you, can be done manually but might be time for a clean install. [05:07] WinShade yup [05:07] apocalypt1: by default there are no panels on the second monitor [05:07] gyaresu: OK, thanks [05:07] angel: You mean RAID? [05:07] heyheyhey [05:07] does anyone know what config file I need to use to make telnetd use a differnet port (yes I know it's insecure) [05:07] angel raid [05:08] k great. i'm sure u guys get a bunch of my type showing up, and tell me if this can easily be found in the FAQ section and i'll try to figure it out from there [05:08] WinShade, you can ask and we can probably get you an answer without redirecting...most of the time. [05:08] th0r, gyaresu so i hvae 2 160gb and i want ubuntu to see it as 1 320gb. i would use raid? [05:08] !welcome | WinShade [05:08] WinShade: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. [05:08] ali1234: its not that there arent panels, there are 2. its that the windows dont have title bars (and as such, no close, minimise, move, etc) [05:08] !ask | WinShade [05:08] WinShade: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [05:08] nm the medibuntu question... just needed to wget [05:09] angel yup...but I don't know how...never set one up [05:09] So, volume control on 0% is still loud, but gets louder when sliding it up... [05:09] apocalypt1: in that case it sounds like the window manager didn't run or crashed. turn off desktop effects... they dont work with dual head and the 6200, at least not for me [05:09] any suggestions? [05:09] Hey guys, Need some help :P, I'm trying to install ubuntu on my hard drive ( not my first time, but 3rd xD ) and I'm getting this error, ACPI: unable to loard the system description tables, how do I fix this? [05:09] Welcome all users to the official Ubuntu IRC support channel! We are all volunteers (meaning we are not paid for our services). If you need help do not be afraid to ask a question. Dont ask to ask..just do it :) [05:10] river444: turn off acpi on install.. [05:10] Thanks, have a wonderful day! [05:10] Is there a way to open .pub files in Linux? [05:10] and how might I do this scunizi [05:10] pr0nGuy: openoffice.org [05:10] Can Anyone help me with getting my Port Multiplier to work? [05:11] pr0nGuy: no. wait. that's not right. [05:11] river444 when the disk boots there is a chance to enter options....just type 'acpi=off' and hit return [05:11] pr0nGuy: hexdump -C *.pub [05:11] How do I select a different default sound device for ALSA? [05:11] i recently got a laptop my friend wuz gunna just throw away. i've been wanting to try ubuntu forever so what better opportunity. unfortunately it runs in "low graphics mode". after the dialog disappears it remains in a black screen. 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 in [05:11] the ubuntu command prompt so that I know which drivers i'm looking for? [05:11] river444: not really sure.. it's one of the boot options. someone here should know.. look up at th0r 's response :) [05:11] WinShade ask your question [05:12] th0r, after it says acpi though it also says, Kernel Panic - not syncing? will turning off acpi fix that too? [05:12] I'm still having trouble installing Cube, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51177/ i followed all the steps here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=266058 note I'm not installing Cube2 just Cube [05:12] river444 don't know...but it is the first thing I would try [05:13] I Just tryed to reboot and I didnt see an option to turn off acpi lol [05:13] WinShade: You might find either the 'Alternative' (text based) or xubuntu better than the standard install if the machine is very low spec. [05:13] hi all, can i get help on webserve plugin of bazaar here [05:13] o 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 drivers [05:13] WinShade 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/hd [05:14] thanks all! fixed enough issues for the night! [05:14] I installed webserve, and when trying to access it, I am getting a message on the browser like Section Not found [05:14] WinShade: have you finished the installation or is this happeneing during [05:14] WinShade then you have ubuntu booting on this computer> [05:14] where as i have approriate configurations in the weberve conf file, [05:14] yes, i have finished the install [05:14] *successfully [05:14] WinShade what drivers are you looking for? [05:14] my webserve conf file can be found here, http://pastebin.ca/846269 [05:15] WinShade: so go to the command prompt ctrl+alt+F2, login and from there you can type lspci to start with. [05:15] thats the problem.. i dunno. for starters I wanna figure out what my graphics card is, so I can maybe get into the desktop screen... but I don't know how to identify devices like i could with windows [05:15] ok [05:15] i'll try lspci one sec [05:15] WinShade, you could see what vid card you have in System>Preferences>Hardware Information as well [05:15] WinShade ok....lspci, lsusb, lshw [05:15] can someone tell me how I go about disabling acpi? [05:16] malnilion: he's got a black screen [05:16] th0r: I thinks WinShade is a little confused...he wants to install video drivers to get into x...and install drivers...a windows type thing [05:16] WinShade: th0r glxinfo hwinfo... [05:16] :) [05:16] river444 when the disk boots there is a chance to enter options....just type 'acpi=off' and hit return [05:16] Scunizi, oh I thought he meant he was in safe graphics mode [05:17] PurpZeY yeah...I am waiting for the smoke to clear and will see if he has a desktop he can get into [05:17] th0r: Just making sure you realized what was going on..;) [05:17] ali1234: that command didn't seem to work. [05:17] WinShade when you boot ubuntu, do you get a graphic login or just text mode? [05:18] th0r, I get another error. MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC, then below it, it is, Kernel panic-not syncing: no init found. Try passing init=option kernel [05:19] i get a graphical "running in low-resolution" dialog, then when i press continue i get nothing. also when it's in low resolution there's weird striped lines goin thru the screen, so i figured ubuntu wasnt having an easy time with the graphics card [05:19] SPEAK TO ME [05:19] river444 I don't know...don't recognize anything in there...sorry. [05:19] but when i press ctrl+alt+f2 i do get a command line [05:20] WinShade: And did you run 'lspci'? [05:20] lspci gives me a bunch of devices but the important one (far as i can tell) is "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03) [05:21] should i just look up a driver for that now? [05:21] WinShade: Yep. [05:21] ddd [05:22] ?? [05:22] aight i'll try that, and msg u if i have any problems [05:22] WinShade: perhaps changing the graphic driver. from the terminal type sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf .. when it opens look for the line that mentions the video driver. It's probably listed as nv or nvidia.. change it to vesa then ctrl +o then ctrl+x.. now CTRL+Alt+backspace to restart the graphics screen and driver.

[05:23] is it at all possible to be able to have Ubuntu update the current software that is in Synaptic to their latest stable versions? [05:24] WinShade type 'lsmod | grep video' and see if uvcvideo is loaded (or some other video module) [05:24] take Gimp for example [05:24] james296: That little orange icon in the upper right hand corner [05:24] Hi, is it possible to get filename of the video playing in VLC player, from Terminal? [05:24] or Pidgin [05:24] WinShade: Can you check that the BIOS has allocated enough memory to the video controler. You should be able to give it at least 32MB and 64MB if you've got enough RAM. [05:24] that doesnt update them to their LATEST stable versions [05:24] james296: no, you have to wait for somebody to package it for ubuntu [05:24] james296: you can find some stuff by enabling the backports [05:24] only to the version thats available in the Gutsy repositories [05:24] I've recently installed Ubuntu Server 7.10 on a 64-bit Intel box. I'm not used to parted, instead fdisk. I'm trying to make do. I have a lot of free space (4.4TB) on this RAID5 of mine.

[05:28] Please how do I disable network manager icon in panel [05:28] wow [05:28] in kubuntu? [05:28] WinShade: no problem [05:29] Leechzilla: Does it have to be vlc? mplayer will do everything but dvd menus from the command line... [05:29] jeff__: I don't know how to get to it necessarily in kde but it's the restricted drivers manager [05:29] hunchybunch, alsamixer in the terminal? [05:29] th0r: still getting weird blue alternating dots set up in a neat stripe pattern vertically on the screen [05:29] WinShade yeah...it isn't configuring the modelines correctly. [05:29] th0r: totally black screen otherwise, seems its not doing anything (loading or anything) [05:29] UnknownUniverse: killall nm-applet (temporary) [05:30] WinShade give the other guys a shot...maybe their ideas will work [05:30] k thx [05:30] UnknownUniverse, well, you could remove network manager entirely if you don't need it for wifi or anything. [05:30] hunchybunch, Can you explain what I should do for alsaconfig? I don't think I have tried that. [05:30] malnilion: I'm using eth0 [05:30] nickrud: 'pkill' rather than killall to just get most of the name right. [05:30] does itunes software work with wine in 7.10?

[05:31] WinShade: http://wiki.zenwalk.org/index.php?title=82845G/GL_Integrated_Graphics_Device And I'd have a look at the bios setting... [05:31] UnknownUniverse, well if you don't use wifi, I might just go ahead and remove it [05:31] gyaresu: I've used that intermittently, but never saw a reason to prefer ... [05:31] gyaresu: mplayer would be nice too, but I don't see such an option in help [05:31] Doonz: probably not tonight.. you might try #ubuntu-server [05:31] Scunizi: ok so i changed it to vesa and saved. alt+F7, gives thicker more consitent blue lines over a black screen [05:31] gyaresu: thank you, will check it out now [05:32] Leechzilla: To run a file from the command line? With mplayer it's just 'mplayer file.avi' [05:32] WinShade: did you restart the GUI? [05:32] ok malnilion But I'll just killall nm-applet [05:32] Thanx [05:32] gyaresu, no to display the filename of what I'm playing already [05:32] Scunizi: how? :$ [05:32] Leechzilla: As an overlay? [05:32] gyaresu, no, in terminal [05:32] heh. He's gone and done it :) [05:32] WinShade: ctrl+alt+backspace... kinda like ctrl+alt+delete on windows but less distructive [05:33] Scunizi: lol, will do [05:33] Leechzilla: 'mplayer file.avi' Then it sits there playing in the terminal so you can just see what it is. [05:34] gives the same black screen but the blue lines are less consistent again.. [05:34] gyaresu, no thats not what im looking for [05:34] I need it for using it in a screen, not for me to "see" it [05:34] *script [05:34] btw is there any way to restart or shutdown the computer from the command line? i dont want to hard boot every time [05:34] WinShade: do one more change.. change from vesa to nv then restart the GUI again. [05:35] Leechzilla: So you want to play a bunch of files and have a script detect the name of the file playing? [05:35] I 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] WinShade: sudo reboot [05:35] Scunizi: k [05:35] WinShade: reboot or halt (with sudo) [05:35] Leechzilla: thx :) [05:35] gyaresu: yes [05:35] hey 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 mouse [05:35] WinShade: sure.. sudo reboot or sudo shutdown now [05:35] or sudo telinit 0/6 [05:35] shadix: it shows with every other clean install of Gutsy I have on other machines. [05:35] i 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] 0 for shutdown, 6 for reboot [05:35] as always, many ways [05:36] shutdown -r now :P [05:36] FastZ: I've never seen it since my card can"t handle the splash [05:36] Leechzilla: 'ps auxf |grep mplayer' then pass it to awk or similar [05:36] roro98812: hit F6 at the boot menu and change "quiet splash" to "nosplash"? [05:36] gyaresu: UMA Video Memory: 1 MB (something tells me that's pretty low) [05:36] *sigh* this sux [05:36] ok thx ill try it [05:36] WinShade: :) I thinx I've foundz it! [05:36] gyaresu: ? [05:37] gyaresu: That's the only way? Cause that wouldn't tell me if the video is paused or playing [05:37] roro98812: you can also just delete "quiet splash" from the kernel line if you don't care to have a splash. [05:37] WinShade: If you've got 512MB ram then set it to 64MB or similar. [05:37] anyone know how to get full screen to work on youtube it flashes up then disappears shortly after hitting the full screen button [05:37] i lost my main tool bar, how do i get it back to the top? [05:37] ok brb reboot [05:37] I am installing ubuntu server and I got an error, "grub error 18" to me that means my hard drive is too big... [05:37] okay [05:37] thx shadix [05:37] can I set the partition up so that it works? [05:37] i lost my main tool bar, how do i get it back to the top?,the one thats says apps ect... [05:38] i lost my main tool bar, how do i get it back to the top?,the one thats says apps ect... [05:38] gyaresu: bios only allows me to go up to 8 MB [05:38] WinShade, do it [05:38] Shadix: 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] SANTAbios: do you know how you lost it? Did you delete it? [05:38] WinShade, I'm betting it'll make a difference [05:39] kk [05:39] FernandoLujan, i thought there was a alsaconfig backport, i guess not. i would grep your dmesg and lsmod to see if it loaded your module first [05:39] FastZ: edit the entry /boot/menu.lst where it says "quiet splash" to say "nosplash [05:39] I 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".

[05:41] anyone getting water effects with compiz - mine does nothing :(( [05:41] I'm having serious graphics issues, on reboot or shutdown my comp hangs and i get green,yellow, and red snow. [05:41] gyaresu, good call on the ram, do you think his refresh rates might be off? [05:42] nickrud: I do not quite understand. One size is kilobytes, the other Megabytes. A tarball does not compress Megabytes into kilobytes. [05:42] WinShade: 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] Shadix, you have one monitor? [05:42] hunchybunch: try shift+F9 or shift+super key+f9 [05:42] yes [05:42] gyaresu, WinShade is on a laptop [05:43] malnilion: k. [05:43] LCD (laptop) [05:43] o [05:43] bullgard4: 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 thing [05:43] sorry [05:43] i'm slow on the uptake sumtimes :) [05:43] WinShade: Can you edit files from the command line?

This makes sense. -- Thank you very much for commenting. [05:44] WinShade, try going back into sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:44] Shadix, been there, done that - maybe my old video card cant hack it. [05:44] anyone know how to get full screen to work on youtube it flashes up then disappears shortly after hitting the full screen button [05:44] WinShade, and change the driver to "i810" [05:44] ÎÒ²âÊÔÒ»ÏÂÊÇ·ñ¿ÉÒÔ·¢ËÍÖÐÎÄÎÄ×Ö [05:44] bullgard4: you'll see that a lot in the packaging system. It's the same principle behind the ubuntu-desktop package [05:45] WinShade: Cool.

[05:46] hey I have to reinstall my windows XP system is there a way to install grub and for it to detect both Linux/XP?

[05:47] Shadow147: backup your grub, then reinstall xp, then use super grub disk, then copy back the menu.lst from the backup you made [05:47] Scunizi: i'd try those but this laptop's wifi card still isnt operational [05:47] My best friend speaks dutch, and when someone starts talking like that she can talk to them..so it must be dutch. [05:47] I 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] is all i can figure. [05:48] WinShade: can you plug it directly in.. w/ ethernet cable? [05:48] hunchybunch: I'm using the (ATI Radeon (fglrx)) driver with a Radeon x700 pro [05:48] Shadow147: 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] Shadix, are you gutsy? [05:48] yep [05:48] speeddemon8803: no, I mean I saw stuff that was obviously no known language. Bunch of caps with odd characters, like superscript 2. I have language issues [05:48] it's a bit of an issue, i'll c if it works, but again, i lost the display.. what can i do? [05:48] Scunizi, I don't think there's an i810 package, I think those drivers *should* be included by default in Ubuntu, but I'm not sure [05:49] if they're on separate hard drives, gyaresu, rather than seperate partitions [05:49] nickrud: I saw that also (not a reall language) and I'm using rxvt-unicode [05:49] helps 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 disk [05:49] gyaresu really well I just want to be safe than sorry [05:49] Jangari: He said they were separate drives. [05:49] ah, pardon [05:49] malnilion: there's xserver-xorg-video-i810 [05:50] WinShade: often xorg will automatically make a backup. look in /etc/X11 for xorg. if it's there there's a way to copy it back [05:50] Shadix, 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] umm... how? i have no display... [05:50] nickrud, that'd be the one lol [05:50] the computer's fan just went crazy just down [05:50] *shutdown [05:50] does ubuntu not have support for IT8212 IDE controller [05:50] WinShade: ctrll+alt+f2? [05:50] ? [05:51] Shadow147: 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 all [05:51] Scunizi: that did nothing [05:51] Howdy [05:51] Nick, I am not using Ubuntu atm, but I do have language packs in windows that help me with that issue. :) [05:51] speeddemon8803: ah, one of those non standard things [05:51] * nickrud is at peace with his machine again [05:51] alright, i'm out [05:52] so are there any more support channels i could try [05:52] hunchybunch: is there a better driver out there? [05:52] WinShade: I'm at a loss at this point. I'll let others take over from here.. good luck. [05:52] :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] Scunizi: it works now [05:52] * speeddemon8803 pats nick's pc...it be ok ;) [05:52] no blue stripes or anything :p [05:52] Doonz: what do you mean by port multiplier, a kvm? [05:52] Jangari I want to make sure I can restore grub to be my loader instead of winXP loader [05:52] WinShade, awesome! [05:52] guess even linux systems needs a reboot every now and then [05:52] because I will have to wipe the hard drive [05:52] Hey 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? [05:53] Doonz: What was the issue? [05:53] WinShade: as in "correctly"? or sort of. [05:53] trying to get my port multiplier to work [05:53] Shadow147: it's not hard to do, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows has instructions. [05:53] does making a partition for ./usr/ is really usefull would anyone recommend me to do this for any special reason? [05:53] ya, totally fine, cept for that weird temperature thing. hopefully that won't recur [05:53] attickid: no reason at all anymore [05:53] WinShade: what kind of lappy is it? [05:53] Doonz: What do you mean 'port multiplier'? [05:54] It's a dell inspiron|1100 [05:54] WinShade: If you know what you did to fix it. Add it to the help.ubuntu.com wiki for others. [05:54] nickrud: It would be ok just making a partition for /home right? [05:54] http://www.addonics.com/products/host_controller/adsa3gpx8-4e.asp [05:54] thats what im trying to get to work [05:54] it has a 5-1 port multiplier on port 1 [05:55] attickid: 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 space [05:55] Doonz: it's an esata controller, I'd suggest calling it that when asking for help ;) [05:55] WinShade: 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] i'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 anyways [05:55] yes but its the port multiplier part that isnt working [05:55] WinShade, 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] the controller card is fine [05:55] alright, i'll do that, thanks scunizi [05:55] Doonz: no, the whole thing is an esata controller, there is no port multiplier [05:55] malnilion: i planned on trying that, thx [05:55] really [05:56] WinShade: next is wireless.. no experience there.. good luck.. have fun :) Next thing you know all your machines will be running something other than WinXX [05:56] 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 installed [05:56] ok well you seem to know alot about it... how do i get the module that supports PM installed into ubuntu 7.10 [05:56] Doonz: Look at the side menu of that site. Under 'Port Multiplier' [05:56] lol, hope so [05:56] any thoughts? [05:57] Vista is on my laptop cuz i use visual studio to write programs in c# [05:57] http://www.addonics.com/support/faqs/faq-pmsupport_desktop.asp [05:57] that is the walkthrough i tried following [05:57] is there anyway for me to use visual studio semi-decently thru linux? [05:57] Doonz: Where are you with it? Is it recognised? [05:57] nickrud: 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] Jangari hey how do I find out where grub is installed? [05:57] the card is but its only reconising 1 hdd [05:57] 1 outta 5 attached [05:57] !clone | attickid [05:57] attickid: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [05:57] I 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 use [05:58] WinShade: yep.. sort of.. load linux and vmware server (free) then load windows to run in a window in linux :) Virtual Machine.. [05:58] attickid: no, see the clone above [05:58] WinShade: or dual boot. [05:58] ok thanks:) [05:58] Anyone here know anything about cpanel? [05:58] WinShade, yeah vmware's cool, but I wouldn't suggest it on your super old lappie ;) [05:58] Scunizi: 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] Doonz: Are you using 6.06 Dapper? [05:59] see that was my next question [05:59] WinShade: not on the old lappy though.. something with more umpf [05:59] malnilion: o no, thats for my newer laptop that i'm on right now [05:59] hey what does 1 long system beep followed by 2 short ones mean? [05:59] should i install 6.06 instead of 7.10 [05:59] ChuckFu: in a terminal, type glxinfo | grep direct [05:59] i hate vista with a passion. but i'm willing to give it another shot once SP1 comes out [05:59] Doonz: Are you using a vanilla kernel from kernel.org (unpatched)? Are you using exactly linux-2.6.17.4? [06:00] ChuckFu: what that does is check for whether or not you have 3d acceleration with the driver you're using right now [06:00] hey what does 1 long system beep followed by 2 short ones mean? [06:00] Doonz: Unless the latest kernel supports your card. [06:00] Does the VLC player package for Ubuntu come with D-Bus control enabled? [06:00] well im running 2.6.22 [06:00] http://home-tj.org/wiki/index.php/Libata-tj-stable [06:00] river444: do you get video? [06:00] that site has it [06:00] You 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] how how how [06:01] elder no, but it the beeps come out almost instantly [06:01] Doonz: K. Stay calm. I'm looking :) [06:01] who will read my xorg.conf to tell me where my resolution problem lies? [06:01] sorry im only going on day 2 of this [06:01] river444: most likely a memory error.. probably a bad stick of ram. [06:01] Question: Is there any way to determine the filesystem type of a mounted hard drive? [06:01] ok next issue: I go under the system menu to get to "Screen resolution preferences". it only lets me select 640x480 60. it's not even using the full screen space, so i defn think it can support more. any takers? [06:01] and now its a lovely 3 am and i need to be up by 6 [06:02] Doonz: What's the cards output from 'lspci' [06:02] revilodral What kind of problem are you having? [06:02] my ubuntu is getting pretty crunk [06:02] Doonz: You won't fix it tonight then. Best come back with a fresh head. [06:02] no [06:02] i have someone helping me [06:02] Doonz: (5pm here :) [06:02] FactTech: You can determine the file system of a mounted partition using th Gparted program. [06:02] ill drink coffe tomorow [06:02] What process controls the function keys? I'm using ubuntu, but I put fluxbox on it and when I press I get the gnome help window. How do I turn this off? [06:02] so how can I find my GRUB Installing? [06:03] WinShade, it's not wide screen is it? [06:03] facttech; although im on resolution 1024 x 768 it is nowhere as nice as it was before i started playing with the resolution and graphics card... now it will only work on 'vesa' when before i was using fglrx [06:03] bullgard4 Thanks. Any other way you know of? (Just curious.) [06:03] Shadow: Did u try Synaptics Packet Manager? [06:03] i think its in there [06:03] revilodral Is the fglrx driver still available on your system? [06:03] steve2838: still using fluxbox? [06:04] 02:00.0 RAID bus controller: Sillicon Image, Inc Sil 3124 PCI-X Serial ATA Controller [06:04] elder It was working fine before it took the computer apart and cleaned everything [06:04] malnilion: no no, just a regular screen. but i think in windows it was running 1024x768 [06:04] FactTech: 'mount' [06:04] malnilion: if not, it was defn running at least 800x600 [06:04] elder, maybe its my gpu unit? [06:04] factech; yes but when i try to use it bad things happen, and when i select 'test' it goes black then reverts back to vesa [06:04] can any one help me regarding network streaming programming in c.. [06:04] gyaresu ooops... looks like I was reading the wrong man pages. Thanks for the tip. [06:05] river444: have you made sure that you've reset all the parts? [06:05] FactTech: np [06:05] gyaresu: yea, I haven't used linux in a while now though. [06:05] steve2838: k. well I loves it so wait a sec. [06:05] gyaresu The reason I was asking is because I hit a 2GB max file size issue while trying to zip some files. Is that error coming from zip itself? I'm using an ext3 partition. [06:05] any Ideas on how to locate my GRUB Installation? [06:06] Shadow147: your grub is in /boot/grub [06:06] nickrud what do you mean? [06:06] anyone got any ideas about how i can get the screen resolution preferences to go above 640x480? [06:06] nickrud I am using to seperate hard drives [06:06] revilodral What does your monitor section look like in xorg.conf? [06:06] nickrud thanks [06:06] river444: reseat all the cards, make sure they are in place. I'd pull each and check for any gunk getting blown in [06:06] fact tech; will u read it ? [06:07] steve2838: ~/.fluxbox/startup http://gyaresu.pastebin.com/f14753e3a [06:07] revilodral Is 1024x768 the biggest resolution you're getting on the list? [06:07] gyaresu 02:00.0 RAID bus controller: Sillicon Image, Inc Sil 3124 PCI-X Serial ATA Controller [06:07] what other ATI drivers are there. i have the latest ATI restricted driver but I still hang on reboot and shutdown [06:07] factech; yes when i choose a dell monitor, where before it was using plug n play [06:07] nickrud it says direct rendering: Yes [06:07] nickrud I have....just a second ago it booted then I adjusted some power supplies for all of my fans to work and now I get the 3 systems beeps, 1 long and 2 short [06:07] can't download nvu [06:07] Shadow147: irrelevant. grub will be in /boot/grub of the ubuntu installation. It also has a piece in the mbr of the first drive, that's what you will need to rewrite after you install windows [06:07] WinShade, there are a couple ways you might approach this [06:08] revilodral I'm hoping wading through the whole file is unnecessary. [06:08] !grub [06:08] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [06:08] malnilion: i'm all ears (eyes?) [06:08] ChuckFu: then you are using the right driver :) It would be ati [06:08] factech; where do i paste it [06:08] revilodral Please try to hit the exact spelling of my handle -- it's hard to pick out your messages otherwise [06:08] how to download nvu?who can help me? [06:08] gyaresu: Isn't that just a batch file? What command would I use to remap the F1 key? [06:08] nickrud I have....just a second ago it booted then I adjusted some power supplies for all of my fans to work and now I get the 3 systems beeps, 1 long and 2 short [06:08] mawenjun: it's called kompozer now [06:08] nickrud humm I can type faster then the letters appear on the screen [06:09] steve2838: ~/.fluxbox/keys http://gyaresu.pastebin.com/m60af8c9 [06:09] FactTech: ok where do i paste it [06:09] mawenjun: use synaptic or apt-get [06:09] Doonz: Looking now. [06:09] WinShade, well, you could open a terminal window (Applications>Accessories>Terminal) and open up the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file again [06:09] revilodral You don't really have to paste it. Just tell me what you see. [06:09] FactTech: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems [06:09] gyaresu That's not a man page! :) [06:09] FactTech: ext3 16GiB [06:09] so should I make a GRUB SuperDisk? [06:09] nickrud I have....just a second ago it booted then I adjusted some power supplies for all of my fans to work and now I get the 3 systems beeps, 1 long and 2 short [06:09] WinShade, and scroll down this time to the Monitor section [06:10] ChuckFu: more likely you have a runaway process than your video driver being the issue. alt-f2 , run gnome-system-monitor [06:10] nickrud what I'm saying is my letter lag behind my typing [06:10] malnilion: ok, i'm following along [06:10] gyaresu Right, that's why I don't get why I saw the error. It must be coming from the app or the kernel. [06:10] nickrud thanks [06:10] WinShade, lol, actually now that I think about it, this might not be the easiest way [06:10] river444: hm. What do you mean by adjusted? [06:10] FactTech: Across a network maybe? samba? [06:11] FactTech: monitor - identifier ; generic monitor [06:11] option ; dpms [06:11] horizsync ; 28-50 [06:11] vertrefresh ; 43-75 [06:11] gyaresu Nope, but I did see a post about that somewhere. Just directory-to-directory within same mounted partition. [06:11] Shadow147: You've got two separate drives and grub is on the ubuntu disk right? [06:11] nickrud, daisy chained the fans how there suppose to be then reconnected my gpu unit my hard drive and my dvd-rw drive [06:11] !paste | revilodra1 [06:11] revilodra1: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [06:11] FactTech: Ah. [06:11] revilodral OK, that probably means you just need to add a little info. [06:11] malnilion: do u have another recommendation then? [06:11] hi, I'm trying to edit the default initrd to add a few options I need. I cpio extract it, do my edits, cpio rearchive it, and modify grub. but when I reboot, while it seems to do something with initrd, it apparently ignores my edits. any suggestions about what I'm going wrong? [06:11] factech: such as? [06:11] gyaresu yes [06:11] revilodral Do you see any lines in that section that say HorzSync or VertRefresh or anything like that? [06:12] river444: Assuming you didn't blow anything up, it sounds like a connector problem. Reseat [06:12] WinShade, you might want to try changing the monitor model in the Screens and Graphics program [06:12] FactTech: yes i stated their values [06:12] FactTech: sudo cfdisk /dev/sda (If sda is the drive you are interested in.) [06:12] revilodra1: if you type fac and press tab it will automaticly insert FactTech: [06:12] how can I fix the md5 mismatch problem when installing flash? [06:12] Shadow147: Then there's no problem re-installing xp. [06:12] bullgard4 Thanks -- I'll check it out. [06:12] gyaresu I did a cd /boot/grub and it found it no problem [06:12] Shadix: yeah i know thanks [06:12] WinShade, which is in System>Administration [06:12] river444: http://www.amptron.com/html/bios.beepcodes.html [06:13] revilodra1: :oP [06:13] Shadow147: Sorry. I don't understand the context of that statement. [06:13] revilodral 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] !brokenflash | james296 (install from adobe) [06:13] james296 (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] gyaresu: hmm... F1 alone doesn't seem to work. [06:13] 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? [06:13] revilodral 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] FactTech: not with me but i could probably find them out its a dell inspiron 6400 with ati x1400 graphics card [06:14] steve2838: Did you try the keys file. I don't set F1 alone to anything because apps will use it. [06:14] gyaresu no luck? [06:14] malnilion: you are a god amongst men [06:14] nickrud is there a way to see how the video card is performing it has 256Meg that should be enough [06:14] revilodral 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] This isnt a Ubuntu question but maybe someone will know...How do I get to f2 terminal in Knoppix without doing ctrl+alt+f2? [06:14] gyaresu well nickrud told me to look for /boot/grub and I did a cd /boot/grub to find it and it found it with no errors [06:15] hello i seem to be having a problem changing resolution on my desktop it seems to be stucked on 120x768 i use a nvidia 6600 i installed the driver already through the restricted driver manager [06:15] WinShade, so it worked, I assume :) [06:15] malnilion: yep :P [06:15] Shadow147: Don't you just want to do a reinstall of xp? === cZw0 is now known as cZw0^work [06:15] I see. My probably is that alone opens gnome Terminal Manual, but I guess that's a function of terminal. [06:15] !behavior [06:15] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [06:15] problem* [06:15] but i seem to cant change the reso still and i dont get the nvidia configuration menu either [06:16] ChuckFu: not really, but glxgears will give you a minimal idea. Your card is old and well documented, I would find it very suprising that the video is your problem [06:16] Doonz: http://kernel.xc.net/ [06:16] Doonz: http://kernel.xc.net/search.cgi?string=3124&version=2.6.23&arch=i386 [06:17] gyaresu: I figured it out. It was just under terminal preferences. For some reason I was under the impression that the gnome dm was doing it. [06:17] kid_confucious You probably need to update your monitor info in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:18] ok thanks nickrud [06:18] ok [06:18] anything special i need to add [06:18] gyaresu yeah it's just I am not sure grub will still be around and will function with my new install of WinXP [06:18] !xorg [06:18] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[06:20] gyaresu ??? and nickrud I have looked at both links and it's confusing me [06:20] gyaresu yes [06:20] kid_confucious See this, but it's important that you look up the correct data for YOUR monitor. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/180601 [06:20] Shadow147: I understand but at some point you're going to have to understand that you've got an excellent setup with them both being on separate drives.

Thanks. [06:35] this is just weird for me [06:35] how do I move my kweather over by my clock please. I right click kweather in my taskbar and there is not option to move it. [06:35] !hunchybunch x.org conf is like black people once u go black u never go back lol [06:36] thats how i like my coffee :P [06:36] !tell hunchybunch about xcfg [06:36] This isnt a Ubuntu question but maybe someone will know...How do I get to f2 terminal in Knoppix without doing ctrl+alt+f2? [06:36] hunchybunch basicly without xorg config ur thing is crappy once it took me 5 jkdefrags to be able to login and fix it -- [06:37] ubotu dudnt want to hook me up [06:37] !tell Creed about terminal [06:37] FactTech: dpkg-reconfigure is the general configuration tool for debian/ubuntu, if you install configure-debian you can see it all [06:37] !tell hunchybunch | xcfg [06:37] hmm [06:37] !factoids [06:37] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [06:38] ohh great wizard ubotu ! [06:38] lol Speeddemon8803 [06:38] Creed, what purpose is that for? [06:38] ok my menu.lst looks normal [06:38] Creed It's an interesting question. I don't know the answer but would think it was possible. [06:39] how come I can't open the GLMatrix screensaver file to edit it? [06:40] !tell speeddemon8803 about botabuse [06:40] how do I add NTFS compatibility to the Ubuntu Partition Editor? [06:40] Shadix: the gnome-screensaver app is brain dead [06:40] /usr/share/applications/screensavers i can't open any files in this directory [06:40] anyone? [06:40] FactTech, if you boot up to a getty term, instead of using gdm, i think its like that - it might be ctrl alt f1 [06:40] darkmystere, Notice one thing though...I did check out factoids after so I was aware..so technically there was no abuse of ubotu thanks for pointing out the abuse feature though ;) [06:41] ok, so I'm trying to get AIGLX workin. I have a question. on http://wiki.zenwalk.org/index.php?title=82845G/GL_Integrated_Graphics_Device it says to add these to the correct sections.. for example where it says section "ServerLayout" should i add that to the section "serverlayout" that is already in the conf file? [06:41] nickrud: HAHA [06:41] zetheroo: gparted should give you the option to create an ntfs partition. [06:41] speeddemon8803:lol it was just an example like Jack_Sparrow showed me =) [06:41] bulmer / FactTech Its an assignment for college :( Gotta get to f2 tty, cant use GUI. Any way to kill x completely? Killing Xorg restarts it. [06:41] Shadix: oh, you should be able to open it with gedit [06:41] theres also another reason I love linux in genral most of the devices I use can be accessed with out additional software [06:42] hunchybunch No, I think the trick is Creed wants to get to tty2 without using the CTRL-ALT key combo. [06:42] gyaresu ?? [06:42] Well im learning all i can about ubotu so i can use em to my advantage [06:42] gyaresu: Unable to read the contents of this filesystem. [06:42] Shadix: and thanks for that, I see ways to customize screensavers again !! [06:42] is the update database cmmand still "updatedb" becasue it seems to hang for a while [06:42] Please, if you must "try out" commands go to #ubuntu-bots..or try them in private message with Ubotu, thanks :) [06:42] try sudo gedit filename [06:42] Creed The getty command looks promising on first glance. [06:42] how come i am getting really BAD download speeds? [06:42] Doonz: It should be recognised from everything I'm reading. Might have to take another approach. How many drives attache in what way? [06:42] Creed, uninstall gdm would allow you you to do that [06:42] s/cmmand/command [06:42] i have a 10mps connection.... [06:42] hunchybunch, its a LiveCD [06:43] zetheroo: From where? GUI? command line? [06:43] Creed get to f2 or just take a snapshot of whats in console2 ? [06:43] zetheroo: What are you doing specifically? [06:43] speeddemon8803: U mean me or someone else? i only use the commands when its relivant with someones problem [06:43] they just connect to a port multiplier 5-1 and then plug into the esata controller card [06:43] Creed, your making things difficult :P [06:43] hyaresu they just connect to a port multiplier 5-1 and then plug into the esata controller card [06:43] gyaresu: I have plugged in a USB portable HDD [06:43] hunchybunch what u need help with? [06:43] bulmer / hunchybunch , get to f2. Vmware wont pass through my ctrl+alt+f2 else I would use it :( [06:43] General comment Darkmystere. [06:43] gyaresu: I just want to format it [06:44] try an onscreen keyboard? [06:44] zetheroo: Using what program? [06:44] speeddemon8803_:oh ok =) [06:44] Creed: you're running a live cd in vmware ? [06:44] Creed: don't mind me, I'm just nosy. [06:44] why are my dl speeds so horrid, i can download up to 1096KB/s and ubuntu gives me 100-200KB/s max..... [06:44] nickrud, orders are orders :( Supposed to use Jing and record a few really lame steps (cat /proc/cpuinfo, etc) [06:44] gyaresu: Partition Editor [06:45] Creed: Try Ctr+Alt+ins [06:45] gyaresu: System>Administration [06:45] Darkmystere, wish I had a Insert key heh === crummygummy_ is now known as CrummyGummy [06:45] !tell Creed about Terminal [06:45] Creed, dont use vmware, sorry, maybe it will let you assign virtual hotkeys though in vmware [06:45] Darkmystere, I have to use tty on f2, not terminal. [06:45] zetheroo: Not a gui man myself. Either get gparted (which that might be, don't know) or I can show you how to do it from the command line. [06:45] nickrud: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/modify-glmatrix-screensaver-231745/ [06:46] hunchybunch, cant seem to find it anywhere...not event he VNC session vmware allows does the keys. [06:46] I mean I just plugged in my fujifilm camera and ubuntu just reconized it and mounted it with no trouble unlike windows [06:46] Creed:Oh Ok Sec Man im looking at my VMware Player [06:46] gyaresu: gparted is Partition Editor [06:46] Creed: what version of Ubuntu are u using?\ [06:47] Shadow147, cool, isnt it [06:47] Shadix: I don't think I want to go that far. But I see I can add options to the exec line in the desktop file . Nice [06:47] Darkmystere, knoppix lol but it should be fairly the same, linux is linux. [06:47] Creed: Great lol [06:47] Shadow147, don't forget to unmount when unplugging [06:47] Creed: Sec trying to find u a factoid... [06:47] any ideas [06:47] ? [06:47] i need help getting AIGLX working on my laptop [06:48] is there an easy way for me to get the newest Nvidia driver that was just recently released? [06:48] nickrud: you wouldn't see a way to change the color in there would you? [06:48] zetheroo: 'dmesg' What's the device node /dev/sda ? [06:48] gyaresu they just connect to a port multiplier 5-1 and then plug into the esata controller card [06:48] WinShade, the people in #ubuntu-effects are well trained to help with any video issues or setup :) [06:48] Creed: aight, thx [06:49] Shadix: for matrix, no. man matrix gives the options you can use [06:49] HEY DOES ANYONE KNOW IF YOU CAN CATCH A VIRUS WINDOWS VIRUS WITH WINE????????????? [06:49] Hey all [06:49] gyaresu: sdb1 [06:49] Shadix: glmatrix I mean [06:49] bruce__: yes you can [06:49] damn [06:49] Doonz: and what about 'sudo fdisk -l' [06:49] OK [06:49] !caps | BRUCE__ [06:49] BRUCE__: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [06:49] but its hard and you would have to be trying [06:49] Creed I know you can kill X but I'm not sure that will help you. [06:49] BRUCE__, dont have to yell :) And yes its possible, but most viruses are pretty dumbed down in Wine. Dont worry, they cant infect your system files (unelss its smart and you run wine apps as root) === di[a]fic is now known as diafic [06:50] Doonz: Do you have 4 e-sata drives plugged in at the moment? [06:50] Creed I'm thinking it will dump you to tty1. [06:50] FactTech, yeah, I tried killing xorg which just restarted it. Gotta stop it withoutit restarting. [06:50] FactTech, any tty where I can input a few commands is fine. [06:50] suld i get an antivirus?? [06:50] Creed did you try "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop"? [06:50] here is something I've never even thought of. Are there and virus's for U?buntu [06:51] zetheroo: So you have an external drive recognised as /dev/sdb . You can check that by 'sudo fdisk -l' and it will list all your drives. [06:51] i have 5x 500gb drive plugged into a 5-1 port multiplier. From there 1 esata cable runs to the controller card. Right now in fdisk it only shows 1 of the 5 drives [06:51] New guy here. I've been trying to get my back and foward buttons to work on my mouse but the best I've done following the documentation and forums is to get the wheel to navigate foward and back. Anyone have good solutions? 7.10 with Kensington wireless mouse in a box. [06:51] ubotu, tell Creed about x [06:51] i forgot the update database command?? [06:51] Shadix: Yes but about 6 and they don't matter. [06:51] soldats: updatedb [06:51] FactTech, runs KDM but doesnt seem to start up KDM should.kdm not running [06:51] soldats: for the locate command, that is [06:51] Trying to install 7.10 on a desktop and it wont even set the disk label [06:51] any help? [06:51] Shadix: while not completly impossible. viruses in linux are pretty much unheard of [06:51] nix'gyaresu i have 5x 500gb drive plugged into a 5-1 port multiplier. From there 1 esata cable runs to the controller card. Right now in fdisk it only shows 1 of the 5 drives [06:51] Arg [06:51] Anyway [06:52] Creed Maybe switch that to "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop"? [06:52] gparted wont even set a disk label. can anyone give me some advice [06:52] nickrud, yea i thought so but when i did it it hung for a very long time, so i thought it may be something else, i guess ill try again [06:52] soldats: takes a while, watch for disk activity [06:52] viruses are only an issue if you network a windows machine onto the network. [06:52] WindowSmashe1: what kind of partition? [06:52] FactTech, KDM is the only one, and still nothing :( [06:52] Doonz: That's a separate peice of hardware then yes. The port multiplier? [06:52] none [06:52] yes [06:52] The disk has no partition and no label [06:52] nickrud, thanks for the tip, it was for the locate commad, so hopefully it will work better [06:53] Creed Did you look over the man pages for "getty"? [06:53] I'm looking to setup my laptop as a WAP for my nintendo DS. I've figured out that I need to setup a bridge on the laptop and put the wifi card in master mode, however I'm haveing some trouble with the technical details of doing so. [06:53] Doonz: mmm hmm. And what is that? [06:53] WindowSmashe1: you label partitions, not disks [06:53] JairunCaloth/gyaresu: I guess most virus's are created with a monetary motive. Too much effort for little or no return [06:53] okay well I can't partition [06:53] thanks [06:53] I get error code 5 [06:53] nix'gyaresu yes it is but its the controller card that needs the driver to see the other drives [06:53] Creed look into agetty [06:53] hunchybunch so I have a risk of catching viruses and it messing up my system because I'm connected to a windows network. [06:53] WindowSmashe1: try sudo fdisk -l , what does that say about the disk? [06:53] mostly I seem to be having trouble getting the bridge setup [06:53] brb [06:53] Doonz: What is the Multiplier Card? [06:54] hunchybunch:Join the #Ubuntu-bots channell i want to show u somthing and giv u a few pointers [06:54] http://www.addonics.com/products/host_controller/ad5sapm.asp [06:54] cybergig, windows always has an issue [06:54] hunchybunch yea [06:54] WindowSmashe1: be sure to unmount the partition(s) [06:54] http://myexANNA.com/?id=63e6bf0d - NSFW [06:54] cybergig: no, connecting to windows machines doesn't change anything, there is still no risk of viruses to you on Linux [06:54] yay for leenix [06:54] later [06:54] now it shows properly [06:55] I saw a package manager for ubuntu, it was not very detailed, but had the packages broken down into catagories, that was it's name ? [06:55] bye brice [06:55] hunchybunchy,cybergig Windows has soo many problems that microsoft doesnt even trust it!! [06:55] At the end of a Ubuntu server install, it will eject the CD-ROM; however, I really don't want it to do this since the server is at a data center far away ;) Is there any way to keep it from ejecting the CD-ROM ? [06:55] Cya guys [06:55] my / swap and /home [06:55] cybergig: the machine code written for windows doesn't run on linux. First line of defense [06:55] I'm gonna try again [06:55] hunchybunch I don't connect to windows machines, Im just connected to the close network... I would still need a virus scanner anyways, I just need to know if I'm more at risk. [06:55] Doonz: .........................sigh. [06:55] yah for sure [06:55] WindowSmashe1: is this going to be on a fresh hard drive? [06:55] nix'gyaresu why the sigh? [06:55] Doonz: Don't you think you should have told me about that? Please post the lspci. [06:55] It had windows on it [06:55] init 8 = bad idea :( [06:56] some_dude theres tha add/remove in Applications and Synaptic [06:56] WindowSmashe1: had, meaning you're gonna wipe it and give it all to ubuntu? You can use cfdisk , I prefer that tool to gparted anyway [06:56] nickrud, 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] Shadow147: I want to say it was not as advanced as Synaptic [06:56] some_dude ok [06:57] some_dude then I am not sure [06:57] okay [06:57] I am doing updates really quick [06:57] cybergig, Windows viruses have a tough time running in Wine. There's an amusing article about trying it somewhere out on the web. [06:57] The partitioner hangs at 5% [06:57] cybergig: as a normal linux user, I have paid zero attention to viruses for 8 years. [06:57] well thanks, I'm going to give synaptic a go, because adpet is a bit harsh [06:57] http://pastebin.com/d695c2bbe [06:58] cybergig: plus a windows virus did run in wine, the damage would be restricted to ~/.wine/ [06:58] cybergig: and that's not because I don't care, it's one reason I run linux. So I can pay zero attention [06:58] cybergig, well, there is clamav, but it is more to protect windows machines that may connect to your files. [06:58] Looks to be working now [06:58] cybergig then your wine install would be dead [06:58] This is crazy [06:58] I've never had a problem installing ubuntu anywhere [06:59] first time for everything. My last install using the the desktop!! cd actually worked [06:59] nix'gyaresu it is /dev/sdh that is the one outta the 5 drive showing from the port multiplier [06:59] some_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] up_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] Doonz: lspci (and please use my name so it highlights). All the other drives are NOTHING to do with either of these cards? [07:00] JairunCaloth: try apt-cache search , still faster than synaptic [07:00] I 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] nickrud: does it search discriptions as well? [07:00] cybergig, you are going to be bored with linux because you aren't going to have to viruscan or worry about malware, sorry :) [07:01] JairunCaloth: yes. [07:01] nickrud: awsome, thanks :) [07:01] hunchybunch, No I won't get bored... I have plenty of tasks to do.. its just maybe that one will spare me some time from launching an app to scan for viruses [07:01] gyaresu http://pastebin.com/dd4d93e9be [07:01] tiasputri [07:02] tribun [07:02] how do I make my bash history longer please? so that I may see more enteries [07:02] JairunCaloth: and aptitude has a great search function, try aptitude search \!~i~sgnome (not installed, in section gnome) [07:02] . [07:02] can anyone help me? i'm in the middle of a full screen game which just lost focus, and now i can't get back into it === zsircusr is now known as tcpdumpgodz0r [07:02] Doonz: Do you mean this one: http://pastebin.com/d4d93e9be [07:02] hunchybunch, I'm amused anyways by compz fusion it seems to entertain me when I have nothing to do @_@.. [07:02] it's still going though, 'cause i can' still hear it [07:02] . [07:02] tanath: can you alt-tab back into it? [07:02] JairunCaloth, nope [07:03] tanath pgrep then kill the pid [07:03] tribun [07:03] olskolirc, i don't want to lose progress [07:03] lol [07:03] olskolirc, that's why i'm trying to get back into it first [07:03] gyaresu yes sorry [07:03] Should be in bed.... i'm sick and I need to get up in the morning to do some work.. === olskolirc is now known as cutyourloss [07:03] Why can't I remove /media/disk? [07:03] rm: cannot lstat `/media/disk': Input/output error [07:03] tanath: could it be you lost focus cuz it crashed? [07:04] cybergig, yea, i'm trying still to figure compiz out - try emerald with it - its cool too :P [07:04] So anywho, can someone point me to some good solid beginners info on setting up bridges? [07:04] nickrud, no, an msn window popped up and stole focus [07:04] nickrud, i can still hear it going, so i know i'm not dead :P [07:04] Tixer: it would be sudo umount /media/disk [07:04] hunchybunch, same here I havn't gotten to the cube part yet... I just started getting amused when the whole thing shrunk to where you can choose desktops in a cool perspective... [07:05] thanks [07:05] tanath: ah, well just a stab in the dark [07:05] gah, this is really frustrating :( [07:05] Tixer if that doesn't work use sudo umount /media/disk -o force [07:05] how do I apt a package name just to show me information on that package [07:05] cutyourloss, apt-cache show packagename [07:05] cutyourloss: apt-cache show [07:06] I will be back going to install windows [07:06] tanath, sometimes when WoW doesn't want to come back up, I can right click it's box in the task manager and send it to annother workspace. Sometimes it will come back up when I move to that workspace [07:06] gyaresu here is where im missing the module from [07:06] http://kernel.xc.net/html/linux-2.6.22/i386/#SCSI_low-level_drivers [07:06] JairunCaloth, cool, will try that. thx [07:06] i'm trying to get the water thing to work, but i'm doing something wrong. and the deal where the windows swich to the taskbar like it's being sucked up - i cant get it to do that either. i think im setting too much stuff wrong or something [07:06] oh, JairunCaloth we get that question now and again, thanks for that [07:06] there isnt an sil 3124 in it and i need to get it there so that PM support is enabled [07:07] but im too stupid to figure out how to do it [07:07] thanks tanath [07:07] ^.^ [07:07] hey guys, i have another one. when i start up the computer I have one screen resolution (640x480) and after i log in it switches to my main resolution (1024x768). is there anyway to make it just be 1024x768 for the logon screen too? [07:07] Hi i'm completely new. Is there a way to run apps like tomboy via terminal without the terminal being linked to the app? (turn the terminal off/ turn whatever you started off). I just want to be able to use terminal to start programs so I dont need to dig through lists [07:07] JairunCaloth, erm, almost worked :( [07:07] Hello All! [07:08] Doonz: i asked you if you had the sata-sil24 module and you said yes. [07:08] Shnozberrie: alt + F2 will let you run a command and not have to have a terminal up. [07:08] great, thank you jail ! [07:08] jai [07:08] im trying to run a game called tibia on Wine, can anyone help me to try and get it to work, because it can use directx5 or directx9 mode, but i cant pass through at the end another thing, such as engine 0, engine 1, etc.... [07:08] JairunCaloth, there was a tiny box in the bottom left in which i could see my game cursor when i put it there. it enabled me to bring up the esc menu, which i couldn't see, but allowed me to quit the game properly... i think [07:08] gyaresu well it showed up when i searched like you said, [07:08] Haven't heard about the water thing, but I only have seen the cube.. [07:09] Superbike32, try asking in #winehq [07:09] JairunCaloth, was trying to tell it to 'return to game' but didn't work [07:09] ok [07:09] thx [07:09] I just started using linux two weeks ago. [07:09] Shnozberrie: if you need the app to have root access, prepend it with gksudo, which pops up the password dialog for ya [07:09] tanath, yeah... doesn't always work. Were you using the pager for that? [07:09] Doonz: 'modprobe -l |grep sil24' then see if it's loaded 'lsmod |grep -i sil24' if it's not then load it. 'sudo modprobe sata-sil24' [07:10] Shnozberrie, you can also put a '&' after the command [07:10] JairunCaloth, pager? what's that again? [07:10] I have a mouse with forward/back buttons and it doesn't work natively with xubuntu. How can I get this to work? [07:10] neeto, i believe you need to use xmodmap for that. i had to [07:10] cybergig, your doing good then, ive been using it about 10 years, and still dont know how to do alot of stuff, cus im lazy. [07:10] tanath: thanks. [07:10] tanath, the small boxes in the corner of your screen that represent your virtual desktops [07:10] !mouse | neeto [07:10] neeto: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [07:10] neeto, i think you'll need to google it [07:11] JairunCaloth, er, no. i pressed ctrl+alt9right [07:11] just "command" & = password dialog? [07:11] JairunCaloth, er, ctrl+alt+right [07:11] wow~~ [07:11] it lists when i do lsmod [07:11] anyone know how to make logon screen have a particular resolution? [07:11] Shnozberrie, what? no like this: sleep 5 & [07:12] hunchybunch, same here... I will eventually have to stop with the effects and start cross platform coding under linux. [07:12] gyareus it lists when i do lsmod [07:12] Shnozberrie, runs it in the background basically [07:12] <|Quest|> i need a virtual machine that supports pci. any suggestions ? [07:12] tanath: You'll fine that editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is usually the way to go. [07:12] amazing. [07:12] how do i modify the boot parameters in a ubuntu 7.10 server install? [07:12] gyaresu, er, for what? [07:12] ahh I see. Thanks! [07:12] I don't see that option in the initial bootup screen [07:12] tanath: You gave advice on buttons for mice. [07:12] cybergig, that sounds like work :( [07:13] |Quest|, maybe Xen ? [07:13] gyaresu, oh. no, not for those. you use xmodmap. best not to edit xorg.conf [07:13] gyaresu it outputs | sata_sil24 15236 0 and libata 125168 4 [07:13] Doonz: Before you 'sudo modprobe sata-sil24' [07:13] bulmer: no, it's a type of CD-ROM that doesn't go back in [07:14] hunchybunch :( I know... it all sucks... but what I can't get is why windows users love and trust microsoft so much. I mean my dad works at nasa and they have linux systems, he says he hates linux compared to windows.. [07:14] up_the_irons, you mean at boot the CDROM door does not close back? [07:14] people actually trust microsoft? [07:14] Doonz: Did it show up before you 'sudo modprobe sata-sil24' or after? [07:14] before [07:14] gyareus before [07:14] ah. [07:14] I think they need to move up from the older versions to the newer then they will apreciate it more o.o; [07:14] meh. fud works i guess [07:15] bulmer: that's correct, it doesn't close back up [07:15] !tab > Doonz [07:15] cybergig, people tend to dislike change. maybe he'd just rather still with what he knows and is used to [07:15] bulmer: it's common on slim-line CD-ROM's for servers [07:15] cybergig, thats cus it works, but it takes alot of work to set the buggar up right. Ive been procrastinating doing sql and html, even though i know i can do it. [07:15] up_the_irons, then i will not such remote install then [07:15] bulmer: i don't know what they call that style, but once ejected, you have to manually push it back in [07:15] cant cause im using a bnc and names look wierd [07:16] WinShade go to system>preferences>screen resolution and you can make your resolution the default for your computer [07:16] bulmer: well, boot param "cdrom-detect/eject=false" seems to be the ticket [07:16] bulmer: i'm gonna try [07:16] selig5:thx [07:16] gyaresu when i had things working in windows i had to have sataraid5 installed in order to see all 5 drives [07:16] there you go..i know linux users are resourceful [07:16] Setting up things in linux takes a little more effort but I don't think its more effort than setting up a program through CMD in windows. [07:17] cybergig, setting what up? [07:17] Doonz: Sorry I've not got the brain for this at the moment. I think it's time for me to eat. [07:17] up_the_irons, if possible do "eject -t" in a termnal to close the drive door but the boot param will be the best bet [07:17] ok [07:17] thanx [07:17] talking about setting things up in general [07:17] np sorry I couldn't help more. [07:17] cybergig, you might have something there :) [07:17] through terminal, which seems to be the basic instalation thing in linux. [07:18] cybergig, such as? aside from possibly getting a few things working properly i can't think of anything that's more difficult to configure [07:18] soldats: thanks [07:18] cybergig, er, there's add/remove, synaptic... no need for terminal to install things [07:19] A command prompt program? Such as a server that needs to be configured through CMD rather than be installed through CMD [07:19] i 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] It 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 based [07:19] thats what I have notised [07:19] cybergig, if you want to do that stuff, chances are you already know how [07:20] Chances are, probably... but I don't know a whole lot about the linux kernal and its commands [07:20] than CMD [07:20] up_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, cya [07:20] WinShade, use a cable like cat5 to get it hooked to a pc that has access to the internet [07:20] bulmer: i figured that was my only option, alright, thx [07:20] cybergig, you mean terminal/shell commands? [07:21] cybergig: what app are you trying to configure? [07:21] cybergig, 'cmd' is the exe name for a command prompt on windows === blahjust is now known as oddalot [07:21] WinShade, you can always burn a copy to a floppy or usb drive or cdrom...etc [07:21] cybergig, 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 ways [07:21] I'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 use [07:21] as to where linux's terminal is just named as terminal. [07:22] cybergig, generally you don't have to set up an app in a terminal [07:22] hello, 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 headache [07:22] I was talking about the simplicity rather than asking a question of how to setup [07:22] err refresh rate i mean [07:22] probably don't have too, It just seems easier to work through a temrinal for me at times..

[07:24] <|Quest|> soldats does vmware supports pci port? [07:24] and i tried the repackage command or whatever it's called..that didn't work either [07:25] i keep forgetting all the commands and there syntax :P short attention span [07:25] |Quest|, i'm really not too sure. i hear knoppix is great for hardware support, and that's been my experience, but it's generally used more as a livecd rather than a desktop system [07:25] |Quest|, i believe so [07:25] |Quest|, curious what special hardware is required to run xp on Xen? [07:25] oddalot: did you auto detect the the moniter? Sometimes you get inacurate info that way. [07:26] same, linux seems to have more terminal wise but I think its easier to understand if you know how in windows o.o [07:26] lol nm, just read up [07:26] quest: if you take a knoppix liveCD, you can usually port the drivers into ubuntu, but it'll be messy.

[07:28] <|Quest|> !tv [07:28] http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Klear (KDE), dvb-utils.

See also !TV-Out [07:28] lol, this monitor is agent [07:28] err [07:28] Is there a way to hibernate an ubuntu session and go to a windows boot then come back? [07:28] bulmer 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] |Quest|, dont quote me, i think they meant it is targeted for dual core processors, but it didnt say it will not run on single core cpu's [07:28] antient [07:28] however you spell it [07:28] |Quest|, yea you got the link cool [07:29] sorry for the offtopic: does anybody know an active openoffice channel? [07:29] hey quest, use tvtime [07:29] it's the best for testing out your settings [07:29] tanubis, thanks for the confirm..its just been hovering to like 93%+ for the past 30 minutes while verifying my burn [07:30] Anyways, I think I'm going to take some sleeping pills and go to bed again... need rest since I'm sick.. [07:30] yes, i was sick...didn't rest [07:30] got sick again [07:30] lol [07:30] bulmer: what is your CPU speed?

I had like 40 processes running and lagging like hell. [07:32] Hi [07:32] bulmer: 30 minutes is a pretty long time then. I'd expect 30 minutes+ on a 750mhz or worse, but that seems excessive. Is it a CD or a DVD? [07:32] tanubis, DVD burning..a fedora 8 [07:32] <|Quest|> tanath soldats bulmer where i can get a list of ubuntu supported tv cards ?

[07:42] bulmer:i have not tried much as i am relatively new to linux networking also i have found no usefull info via google [07:42] Flannel: because the update manager always has errors [07:42] NeT_DeMoN_: which errors?

[07:46] noodles12: a good editor to get you started is quanta (apt-get install quanta) [07:46] of iwconfig that is [07:46] Crazy181, are you sure wlan01? not wlan0 or wlan1 ? [07:46] Crazy181, what does iwconfig tells you? can you pastebin the result so we can peek? [07:47] bulmer: haha sorry. i couldn't think of the word.

Iwold prefer to make package I can remove later [07:50] does make remove work ? [07:50] kr00l, once you have unzipped the file, does it have a README file you can read about how to install it? [07:50] some_dude: put them in /usr/local [07:50] some_dude, not always. Best thing to do is to use --prefix= on configure [07:50] Flannel, source is installed to /usr/local by default [07:51] NeT_DeMoN: go to www.ubuntu.com and click the download tab. Then download the new 7.10 .iso. Burn it and then turn off your computer and have it boot to the cd. Then install it [07:51] NeT_DeMoN_, i would always make my home directory on a separate partition from the root, that way you can install whatever whenever. [07:51] what's the prefix do ? [07:51] some_dude, for example, you can say --prefix=/usr/local/something [07:51] some_dude, you create the target on the Makefile to uninstall, it does not happen magically [07:51] some_dude, then it will create /usr/local/something/bin [07:51] kr00l: alright [07:51] some_dude, /usr/local/something/whatever [07:51] then I can move create the package from it ? === malnilion_ is now known as malnilion [07:52] some_dude, if you put it in it's own directory, you can simply delete that directory [07:52] bulmer: IDK it's an executable that asks to open in terminal [07:52] anyone here working with bridging? for some reason it is only working partly here [07:52] bulmer - k here goes [07:52] I can deal with that [07:52] matt@matts:~$ iwconfig [07:52] lo no wireless extensions.

[07:54] bulmer: what's k3B? [07:54] some_dude, you don't get the dependency checking you would get with a .deb, so not quite as good [07:55] some_dude, but in many cases more than good enough [07:55] kr00l, am burning a dvd...

[07:57] mikess, then you can mount the file system and do what you need to do. [07:58] bulmer - i manualy set the ssid to check if that would fix the issue [07:58] In /etc/cron.daily I have sysklogd, which uses the savelog script to do some log rotation. But there's also a logrotate script. I'm a bit confused as to why both exist. They seem rather redundant and even possibly conflicting.

[07:58] mikess, Sounds like a kernel panick ( not easy to cause ), are you sure there are no hardware problems? [07:58] MongooseWA, I'm morally opposed to drum machines. Let the machine do things that are boring, not fun. [07:58] bulmer: yes and when i open it there are is a "top2svg" Executable text file and some examples [07:58] bulmer - same result already tried that :) [07:59] i am too, as a drummer. but i wanna play around with producing. [07:59] kr00l, someone suggested gunzip or bunzip earlier to uncompress it right? [07:59] pretty sure ive ran an older version on this comptuer before only thing differnt is the videocard [07:59] im lagging badly.. [07:59] http://digg.com/odd_stuff/Oppression_Censorship_by_www_hannity_com_aka_Hypocrisy_1 [07:59] MongooseWA, I know. A while back, most pop stuff was recording with mechanical drumming, but fortunately that seems to be behind us. [07:59] and it doesnt seem to be in repo's. i've tried compiling from source but it incessantly bithces that i dont have the dependent libsnd, flac, etc libraries when i try to configure [07:59] !ping bulmer [07:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about ping bulmer - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:59] bulmer: it is unzipped [07:59] is there anyone who could take a look at my /etc/network/interfaces and tell me where I might be messing up building this bridge? [07:59] sethk, i hear you. acoustic is best, but electronic music can still be good, imo [08:00] MongooseWA, if there isn't a package available, you may just have to fight through the dependencies. [08:00] yuck [08:00] thanks though [08:00] MongooseWA, probably you need to install some _dev packages [08:00] it boots fine in recovery mode tho [08:00] is there any way to boot without running x? [08:00] kr00l, 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 examples [08:00] MongooseWA, 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) [08:01] mikess, you can boot into recovery mode [08:01] yea that works [08:01] Crazy181, you have tried ifup wlan0 ? what was the response if any? [08:01] mikess, you can then do control-alt-f1, log in, and kill any X that is running (if any is running) [08:01] o0o0 got it [08:01] thanks sethk [08:01] tanubis -auto lo [08:01] hopefully this'll fix hydrogen's install [08:02] tanubis - iface lo inet loopback [08:02] Where can I disable workspace scrolling by mouse? I have a touchpad and I accidentally hit it often. [08:02] hey i'm running Ubuntu gutsy. Can somebody teach me how to check for new video driver from git or give me some useful link that explains...(how to)? [08:02] grrr its still complaining about not having the flac++ libs [08:02] boot into recovevey mode and do that? [08:03] bulmer - Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0 [08:03] MongooseWA, search for packages with flac in the name, see if there is a dev package you need. [08:03] yeah, did that [08:03] and got it :-D [08:03] MongooseWA, I haven't installed this particular app, which is why I'm being somewhat vague [08:03] sethk, you're fine. i tihnk it should work now [08:03] MongooseWA, hope so. [08:04] what do these errors mean? [08:04] src/lib/xml/tinyxml.h:828: error: extra qualification ‘TiXmlDeclaration::’ on member ‘TiXmlDeclaration’ [08:04] Crazy181, you proly dont have the drivers for it loaded..try loading that first, and maybe you have to use ndiswrapper which am not fond of or familiar with [08:04] make[1]: *** [src/tinystr.o] Error 1 [08:04] make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/evan/Desktop/hydrogen-0.9.3' [08:04] make: *** [hydrogenPlayer] Error 2 [08:04] My firefox wont have flashplayer how to add plug-ins to it. [08:04] sethk do i boot into recovery mode and do the ctrl-alt-f1? [08:04] mikess, try that, yes. [08:05] alright ill try thanks [08:05] bulmer - i will c what i can find on google thanks for your help guys [08:05] MongooseWA, 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 overlooked [08:05] Crazy181, okay..good luck [08:05] MongooseWA, 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 bitchy [08:06] config.h? [08:07] tinyxml.h [08:07] crazy181 you need to have an entry in there for wlan0 [08:07] MongooseWA, as bulmer said, tinyxml.h [08:07] crazy181 add in something like... iface wlan0 inet dhcp [08:08] crazy181 you need to have an entry in there for wlan0 [08:08] crazy181 add in something like... iface wlan0 inet dhcp [08:08] sethk 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 differnce [08:09] mikess, they flash continuously? [08:09] yea [08:09] mikess, what kind of machine is it? as in processor type, speed, whatever? [08:09] tanubis -ty will try that [08:09] crazy181 after adding that line, try ifdown wlan0 ifup wlan0 [08:09] crazy181 after adding that line, try ifdown wlan0 // ifup wlan0 [08:10] amd64 3200+ gigabyte motherboard, 2 gigs of ram, and a radeon x850 videocard [08:10] mikess, did the install work normally, show the gui, etc? [08:10] sethk, where is tinyxml.h located? [08:10] what was the signal one sends to a possibly just sleeping process? hup? i dont want to kill it, just a nudge to wake it up [08:11] no, the gui wouldnt load nothing on the regular disk would work, i had to download the alternative copy and do text install [08:11] ls |grep php3 [08:11] ... [08:11] MongooseWA, the error message said src/lib/xml/tinyxml.h, so I assume that's in the place where you extracted the files from the tarball [08:11] OH [08:12] christ [08:12] yes? [08:12] heh [08:12] mikess, hmm. if it were just the video, X would fail to start but it would bring up a console login [08:12] http://pastebin.com/d37a89a73 [08:13] mikess, 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) [08:14] sethk, 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 thing [08:14] MongooseWA, 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. [08:15] guys -- 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] !mount [08:15] Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [08:16] mikess, 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] dr_pressure, you have a shell access to a dlink router? is it even possible to write inside that router? [08:16] sethk, how do i go abotu doing that? im a newb at programming. [08:16] sethk could i do that in recovery mode because that boots fine [08:16] MongooseWA, bring up an editor and simply delete "virtual" [08:16] So 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. [08:17] mikess, sure, any way that gets you to a prompt. In this case, then, look at Xorg.0.log.old [08:17] bulmer, 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] mikess, because Xorg.0.log will be from the successful recovery mode startup [08:17] dr_pressure, answer those dlink routers run from its ram, so you have no where to write and save [08:17] can VLC play .rm files? [08:18] bulmer, yes, i know i wont be able to save, but is there a way i can write anyway [08:18] sethk, do i delete all occurances of "virtual" in tinyxml.h? there's quite a few [08:18] !vlc [08:18] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [08:18] MongooseWA, no, only the one on the line where you got the error message. 828 I think it was. [08:18] dr_pressure, the router itself does not allow you to write to its flash memory correct? [08:18] bulmer, not as far as i can tell [08:19] sethk, no dice [08:19] MongooseWA, did the error message change? [08:20] MongooseWA, was it 828? If so I told you the wrong line. [08:20] dr_pressure, none that I know of on these cheap routers..single board computers may have the circuitry but not sure about soho class or routers [08:20] sethk, nope,it's exactly the same. i commented out line 830, though [08:20] line 830 is virtual ~TiXmlDeclaration() {} [08:20] MongooseWA, I forgot that it uses the line number where the error is on a multi-line statement [08:20] Should I just try formatting the entire disk and installing windows FIRST? [08:20] Shnozberrie, yes, but why even use windows? [08:20] damn, thanks anyway bulmer [08:21] Adobe CS3 : ( [08:21] MongooseWA, put 830 back in, and on the constructor, take out TiXmlDeclaration:: [08:21] ok, yeah [08:21] i was gunna suggest that [08:21] MongooseWA, it's a class constructor, and the qualifier is redundent. [08:21] MongooseWA, I should have seen that right away; I must be getting old and senile. [08:21] dr_pressure, how would one upgrade a firmware on those units anyways? maybe same steps? [08:21] white_eagle, vlc can't play .rm files - there's a real player in synaptic tho' :) [08:22] ugh, now im getting a different error [08:22] ere4si: I know, i was just asking [08:22] still with tinyxml, i believe [08:22] k [08:22] MongooseWA, well, that's progress (I hope) :) [08:22] yeah :-\ [08:22] 1 sec, ill pastebin [08:22] bulmer, 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 :( [08:23] sethk, http://pastebin.com/d5a0f58ad [08:24] anybody know how to configure ubuntu 7.1 sound [08:24] dr_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 it [08:24] white_eagle, "real" is a commrercial entity - linux has a port of there codec that will play their files - is what I meant :) [08:25] can I format an ntfs drive with gparted? [08:25] its been a while since i have previously done a new install but does 7.10 complain when /boot is its own partition?? [08:25] MongooseWA, it's a class, but the code is referring to it as a struct [08:25] dr_pressure, once you access the basically command line of that router, look in /bin or /sbin or whichever a normal linux would put binary executables [08:26] it seems to boot when installed but after updates I could not boot anymore [08:26] i know this is a simple question but what does flgrx mean [08:26] hmm.. i dont understand why the "stable" version should cause this much trouble [08:26] bulmer, 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 flash [08:27] dr_pressure, good luck man, and paste your hacks so we all can learn :) [08:27] bulmer, cheers :) [08:28] sethk, i checked thoes log files they had nothing in them, and xorg.o.log wasnt there [08:28] mikess, upper case X on that file name [08:28] there was nothing like that in the dir [08:29] MongooseWA, the error this time is on tinyxml.cpp, so please put that on the pastebin also [08:29] does anyone know how to install ati drivers on ubuntu feisty with dual head [08:29] Hey guys I just want to ask one last time before I run off and reinstall ubuntu again. Any ideas why my windows installer can't format my ntfs partition? Just says "does not meet criteria for install" [08:29] mikess nothing in /varl/log/X* [08:29] mikess, if the gui starts up, it has to be there. If you are booting to a command line then it may not be there. [08:30] sethk, the gui wont start up i think it crashes before it can [08:30] sethk, http://pastebin.com/d53d3054d === _max is now known as _max_ [08:30] mikess, ok. beginning to sound like a weird problem, maybe mixing 32 bit and 64 bit apps.

[08:32] hi. Can someone tell me how to specify the editor I want to use when editing my crontab? [08:32] hey, i've just put some random ati card in my machine, and now ubuntu keeps going into safe mode, even though its already installed the drivers [08:32] mdke: update-alternatives --config editor === diafic is now known as di[a]fic [08:34] astro76: without administrative access? [08:34] MongooseWA, I think there are two definitions of TiXmlDeclaration, one in tinyxml.h and the other in tinyxml.cpp [08:34] mdke: hang on [08:34] mdke: no you need admin for that [08:34] indeed [08:34] mk. makes sense. [08:35] mdke: need to put export EDITOR=vi or whatever you want in .bash_profile or .bashrc [08:35] mdke: probably .bash_profile [08:35] astro76: ah, i'll try that - thanks [08:35] MongooseWA, looks like they are identical, so take one out. [08:35] either or? [08:36] astro76: works, thanks! === gentux is now known as pseudo [08:36] MongooseWA, shouldn't matter.

[09:48] j-dawg: try using wine-doors, should be able to do it pretty much automatically [09:48] no just ubuntu i have an old copy should i try that? [09:48] oh, is that a package? (sorry, newbie) [09:48] mikess: i was thinking to try something like knoppix [09:49] j-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 want [09:49] j-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_Page [09:49] ill try that [09:49] mikess: yea, because if it happens in knoppix too, i really don't know what could be wrong [09:50] mikess: might be some driver that starts with ubuntu that messes it up [09:50] mikess: well, good luck with that [09:50] j-dawg, just checked, doesn't seem to be in the repositories, but its an option for installing if you really need it [09:50] you recomdend any other versions other than knoppix? [09:51] is nvidia 8600 good for compiz ??? [09:51] anyone know of a way to get the new Creative Zens to work in Ubuntu? The version of libmtp in Feisty's repo's can't detect it :/ [09:51] dgjones: sorry to sound ignorant, but what do repositories do/mean? (new to all this) [09:51] !repo | j-dawg [09:51] j-dawg: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource [09:51] mikess: 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) [09:52] mikess: otherwise it's really just a test, so choose any distro you feel like trying [09:52] j-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 them [09:52] does apt-get work with any other distro? [09:52] cause i really like the easy packages :D [09:53] mikess: all distros have something like apt-get but for example suse uses yast, fedora core uses yum, and some others use aptitude (or apt-get) [09:53] <|Stevie|> morgen zusammen [09:53] mikess: might be best to google for a few, because i can't tell you off the top of my head which use what:P [09:53] anyone had a play with dmraid? My computer breaks after I install it. I have 1 x 80Gb drive and 2 x 320Gb (RAID0) Ubuntu is on 80Gb drive. The mount after GRUB fails because the device is busy.... any ideas?? Im almost at my wits end with it :( [09:53] oo yum sounds good [09:54] j-dawg, this looks an easy way to install IE.. on ubuntu, I've not used it for a while, but was easy when I did it last year http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Installation:Ubuntu [09:54] actually is there a way you can stop x from loading on startup so i can see if X is the problem, and if it is try to install video drivers like that? [09:54] mikess: that's basically what the recovery console is [09:54] you can chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm [09:55] mikess: or follow jetscreamer's option [09:55] yea but me eth wont work in the recovery console for some reason [09:55] or backup and empty out /etc/X11/default-display-manager [09:56] what chmod value would i put to enable it again? [09:56] +x [09:56] eXecutable [09:56] ill give that a try [09:56] mikess: x makes a file executable, and - or + adds or removes it [09:56] jetscreamer: beat me to it:P [09:56] hey all, i tried to change so that xrdb won't run the broken(?) mcpp but -nocpp or -cpp /usr/bin/cpp, to get a fully working .Xresources, found three places but startx still runs it with mcpp, where else could this be changed? [09:57] Are all updates good to get? (pre-released, unsupported) -- i dont plan to ask for support, i'm just wondering if its reliable [09:57] ha well thanks for all the help guys greatly appreciated [09:57] mikess: no problem, hope we helped [09:58] can anyone tell me the difference between xgl and aiglx [09:58] shnozberrie: generally updates from the update manager are pretty reliable [09:58] Thanks quantum_haxx. [09:59] no problem [09:59] oiiii, I have a USB microphone that I want to work on Ubuntu, it's the microphone from the karaoke revolution game. Ubuntu sees the microphone in the volme control, but I still get no sound from it. [10:00] I noticed that lots of the repository reccomendations from within ubuntu have a "popularity" rating. Is there anyway to see data like that through apt-cache search? or a place to search repos by popularity (and search critera of course) [10:02] What does 'fg' for in the fgconsole command? [10:02] shnozzberrie: 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/remove [10:02] What does 'fg' stand for in the fgconsole command? [10:03] fg resumes a background job [10:03] anyone? [10:04] I'l repeat for the just joined then..I have a USB microphone that I want to work on Ubuntu, it's the microphone from the karaoke revolution game. Ubuntu sees the microphone in the volume control, but I still get no sound from it. [10:04] hello, how does one play blue-ray files? [10:04] sluimers: have you gone to the "switches" tab and enabled line-in? [10:04] I mean for example if I search gstreamer I get Gstreamer-ugly gstreamer-good blah blah. So i would have liked to go for the popular vote [10:05] Check the device if it is loaded as module [10:05] lsmod [10:05] shnozberrie: those packages have different tools and so, pick the one that has what you need [10:05] Eddietop: Thank you for commenting. [10:05] try to load the module by hand : modprobe snd-pcm-oss [10:08] Shnozberrie: Gnome menu Applications > Add/Remove [10:09] neo__, what should I look for in lsmod? [10:09] the modules: snd-pcm-oss and snd-mixer-oss [10:09] I can see them in snd [10:09] if they are not present then load them mannualy [10:10] hello [10:10] hello [10:10] neo__, They're present [10:11] quantum_hxx, I don't see line-in in the switches tab. [10:11] then try the gnome-sound-properties [10:11] and select the correct devices [10:11] the microfone must be /dev/dsp [10:14] neo__, ?? All I see is three tabs, I'm in the Device tab === noflex_ is now known as noflex [10:14] hey is there a reason why i can apt-get source gpac but i can't apt-get install it?

[10:15] I have recently updated ubuntu after 3 weeks without using the comp and now I notice sluggishness, folders take a while to open or dont open at all (just hangs)... I want to know if this is a bug caused from the latest update or it might be something in my system "which i doubt"? [10:15] and the Sound Capture: ALSA -Advanced linux Sound Architecture === ddamron is now known as DanDamron === DanDamron is now known as D_Dan_Damron [10:15] then try again your microfone [10:16] if not working then just change the Sound Capture: to OSS [10:16] if this does not work then the module does not work correctly for your device [10:16] and I think you have to recompile it === dan__ is now known as D_Dan_Damron [10:16] neo__, okay, when I choose USB audio as sound capture, the microphone works, I get an error though [10:17] for every sound capture choice [10:17] Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat' [10:18] and I get a message when I start sound properties: [10:18] Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'.

I want to know if this is a bug caused from the latest update or it might be something in my system "which i doubt"? [10:22] you must have there 2 mixers ALSA and OSS [10:22] try to change from ALSA to OSS [10:23] or if it is USB then you have to see there a USB device [10:23] the microphone is USB yes, and I have ALSA and OSS yes [10:23] what kind of computer are you using? cpu?

How can I find out what causes this suspicious exact load of 1.00? --output of `top`: http://pastebin.ca/844996 [10:39] yes - 7.10 [10:39] sure [10:39] i did modified /etc/hosts added this line 64.128.66.150 www.d1g.com home , went to firefox hitting home , is doing nothing !!! [10:39] i have a directory in that i use for hellanzb downloads [10:40] is there anybody out there at all ANYONE that could link me directly to a very very simple site with simple instructions to install flash [10:40] every time i start of a new download i can only access the directory above [10:40] you must setup a VirtualHost in your webserver configuration [10:41] ie home/gaz/usenet/done/ [10:41] neo__ how? [10:41] yes bazhang, gutsy (v 7.10) [10:41] what webserver do you use? [10:41] apache? [10:41] yes [10:41] the folder i am trying to access is below done === toni_ is now known as El_toni [10:42] murch: if the new folder has spaces in it you need to escape them with \ or encapluate the hole name in quotes (") [10:42] vlt: top shows that your system is 98% idle... maxbe a problem in the program that calculates load...1.0 1.0 1.0 seems a bit strange for me [10:42] boinker, have you tried opening synaptic and searching for "Gnash", I used that on a fresh install the other day and I've had no problems with flash websites, it might be a better option than flash until its fixed [10:42] thing is i cant access any of the folders [10:42] open the file /etc/apache2/site.available [10:43] even ones i could access before i start of hellanzb [10:43] murch: can you acces it as root?

[11:07] try 'cd /mount [11:07] ' [11:07] gunja: there are so many image types, mount cannot handle all of them... i think at least... it says wrong fs typpe. [11:07] I think u can prolly mount through the GUI too [11:08] right [11:08] there are some, looked into it before, but most of me experience is command line [11:08] so I just use mount [11:08] ok but then what to do in this case? it says wrong fs type... there is an .img file, a .ccd and a .sub, i'm trying to mount the .img... [11:09] why doesn't this rename all files ending with *.AVI to end with *.AVI.asdf? rename 's/\(*\)/\1.asdf/' *.AVI ???

[11:21] a GUI front end to iptables [11:22] bazzieb: firestarter is just a front end for iptables--it does the job very well though--you should first read the docs however [11:22] I think it can be considered as a firewall then [11:22] indeed, iptables is an excellent firewall [11:22] fjrestarted js nhs [11:22] just frontend [11:22] naxa, firestarter on its own doesn't do anything [11:22] is* [11:23] i got it working and assigning ip's [11:23] ip tables on its own will [11:23] therefore firestarter isn't a fire wall [11:23] but then my HDD crashed and had to reload [11:23] insane_alien: yeah, i mean from the user's view, since iptables will be installed by default, it can be considered as a firewall [11:23] now it doesnt want to work as well as it was!! [11:23] insane_alien, No, It's just the frontend. You can it just by editing iptables [11:24] insane_alien: even if it's not and actually a frontend only [11:24] well i'm off [11:24] Hye!

[11:33] _moro_bana_ I dont see why you cant grab GParted and simply erase your windows partition but I'm totally new here [11:33] _moro_bana_: if you delete the windows partition in fdsik it won't harm ubuntu [11:33] my LCD samsung 226BW supports 60hz refresh rate, I am able to get max 51 in System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution, I have an entry in the xorg.conf "VertRefresh 60" any ideas what to do? [11:33] does anyone know when will iwlwifi drivers be available in ubuntu? [11:33] _moro_bana_: also you can do the same in gparted. you can delete the windows partition if there is no important data on it, it won't harm ubuntu [11:33] <_moro_bana_> Suva:it displays the partitions [11:34] Hj-Karim[nyelam] good luck then [11:34] :* naxa [11:34] random42: sorry, I can't concentrate on your question at the moment, I'm fighting relatively complex problems of my own.

[11:36] murch: geforce mx 400 [11:36] I am using nvidia driver [11:37] LeShnoz, you should add the options "umask=007,gid=46" where 007 is your umask and 46 is the group id for "users" [11:37] hi [11:37] with envy [11:37] LeShnoz, after remounting like this you should have permissions [11:38] murch huh? [11:38] there are italian people in this chat? [11:38] <_moro_bana_> naxa; and i have a new second hdd how can a combine it with the one im using [11:38] I think someone asked this earlier...what VM program can be used under Ubuntu? [11:38] thanks naxa! I will give it a try [11:38] LeShnoz, also you could copy in command line (like Terminal) and do "sodo cp -R /from_directory /to_directory" [11:38] is it true that some mothorboards dont actually use 4Gig memory even if allocated? or is that maybe realted to the processor, im not sure. [11:39] opus: I installed envy and then adjusted my settings through the nvidia panel you get [11:39] LeShnoz, sorry, "sudo cp -R /from_dir /to_dir", where from_dir and to_dir are the places where do you want to copy from and to [11:39] murch what is envy? [11:39] !envy [11:39] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [11:39] opus, linux, ubunut [11:40] Hello, I got this error when I ran a perl script "Can't locate auto/Gtk2/timeout_add.al", can anyone tell me what package solves this ? [11:40] its an installer for the nvidia and ati drivers [11:40] * syc_ mo hon pamid [11:41] * syc_ wassalamualaikum wr wb [11:41] _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] hi @ alll [11:41] Anyone use GooBox [11:41] murch what is the application called exactly I can't find in in add/remove applications [11:42] i had some problems with my graphics card so i installed envy and removed the nvidia drivers then reinstalled them [11:42] hye all!! may i know by using terminal/ssh how i can solve this? ---> Make sure you have the 'universe' component enabled [11:42] opus, you won't find envy in the repo's, its not recommended because it causes problems with your system [11:42] Hj-Karim[nyelam]: edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [11:42] opus: use synaptic [11:42] !envy [11:42] Hj-Karim[nyelam]: edit /etc/apt/sources.list [11:42] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [11:43] thanxs AnAnt, can u tell me what should i do/what line? thanxs [11:43] _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] sorry forget what i wrote [11:43] lol [11:43] how do i give user permissions to use /dev/dvd. mplayer fails to write to /dev/dvd [11:43] Hj-Karim[nyelam]: add deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy universe [11:43] _moro_bana_ fstab is a file what tells the system what should be mounted by default when the system starts [11:43] Hj-Karim[nyelam]: you are running gutsy, right ? [11:44] _moro_bana_: so after you add new partitions to the new hdd with gparted you should mount them and they're ready to use [11:44] errr AnAnt, how by using terminal i can know my ubuntu version?:) [11:44] what i know my ubuntu ver 7.04 if i not mistake:D [11:44] _moro_bana_ sorry if i was long i hope i could help... [11:44] <_moro_bana_> naxa:thanks im beginning the process [11:44] Hj-Karim[nyelam]: cat /etc/issue [11:45] Tyczek: if I am unable to get 60hz by default obviously it is needed [11:45] Hj-Karim[nyelam]: 7.04 is feisty, 7.10 is gutsy [11:45] <_moro_bana_> naxa:im the patient [11:45] Hj-Karim[nyelam], uname -r [11:45] hi folks [11:45] my ubuntu ver is --> Ubuntu 7.04 \n \l [11:45] :D [11:45] but not envy... it is messing things [11:45] Hj-Karim[nyelam], at least the kernel version [11:45] hye naxa, may i know what purpose for uname -r? [11:46] which package is recommended for an NFS server? kernel/user?

Anybody know why? My Fstab has this line: /dev/sda2 reiserfs defaults,gid=46,umask=007 0 0 [12:09] LeShnoz: define don't have permissions [12:09] LeShnoz: what are you trying to do [12:10] i'm simply trying to access another partition on my drive [12:10] LeShnoz: ok - and what ar eyou doing that gets no permission [12:10] I want to copy something from my network onto the drive : ( [12:10] LeShnoz: so what are the permssions on the directory you are trying to copy to [12:11] I'm not sure. === gouki_ is now known as gouki [12:11] LeShnoz: look ? [12:11] u wanna change the permissions usin chmod [12:12] I where at? [12:12] yusuo: please speak in clear english, it makes it easy to understand [12:12] LeShnoz: what is the path you are trying to copy to [12:13] can some1 help me to install DGuitar? [12:13] ikonia> media/PartitionSDA2 [12:13] anyone want to help me just getting the 7.1 cd to boot corectly? [12:13] LeShnoz: ok so in nautilus what do the properties say the permissions or, or what does "ls -la /media/PartitionSDA2" show [12:14] Owner: root, group: root [12:15] LeShnoz: ok - so root owns that permissions, so you either have to change the permissions to be owned by you, OR make it world writeable, OR use sudo/gksudo to copy the files, which approach would you like to take [12:15] the ipw3945 module is loaded but eth1 doesn't show up [12:15] the wireless interface has stopped showing up since I rebooted after having apt-get upgraded [12:16] Hi ! what is the command to show on wich /dev/sd? are my hdd ? [12:16] hmm. world writeable? Does that mean permission = everybody? if so yes [12:16] WooD: there isn't a command, you can see the uuid's with "blkid" or you can look in dmesg or the syslog to see what device file was assigned [12:16] WooD: does that make sense ? [12:16] ikonia, yeah thanks .. [12:17] LeShnoz: ok - so you need to either a.) use gksudo and change the permissions to write for everyone b.) sudo chmod 777 media/PartitionSDA2 [12:18] ikonia, thanks a lot. How do I do a.)? gksudo ______ ? [12:18] LeShnoz: gksudo nautilus [12:18] ah [12:18] Has anyone here used uswusp? [12:18] or use disk usage analyser in accessories menu [12:19] can someone help me ?? [12:19] ikonia thank you so much : ) [12:20] LeShnoz: welcome [12:20] Smokey401: if you ask a questions, maybe [12:20] ikonia so if I wanted multiple specific users (me and my vbox) i'd make a group and give the group permission / add members to it? [12:21] LeShnoz: thats an excellent approach [12:21] i just downloaded the 7.10 iso and i cant get it to boot [12:21] Quote: Smokey401: anyone want to help me just getting the 7.1 cd to boot corectly? [12:21] Smokey401: ok, what is the symptoms of the problem [12:21] great thank you! [12:21] Why we have to force to mount with ntfs-3g ? It is always telling that it may be in use ? [12:21] Can I restart pam without having to unlog ? [12:22] s/unlog/log out/ [12:22] Yoric[DT]: pam is not a service [12:22] WooD: expand on that please ? [12:22] ikonia: let me rephrase: I have changed the contents of pam.d . [12:22] Yoric[DT]: pam is parsed on each request [12:22] What should I do to have these contents taken into account ? [12:22] Yoric[DT]: if you have a cached credential you may have to log out [12:22] That doesn't seem to be the case according to my /var/log/auth.log [12:22] That may be the problem. [12:23] i get to the splash screen and cant get any further [12:23] In the past I was told in linux you do not need to reboot unless you changed the kernel or altered it, howcome ubuntu asks me to restart sometimes after it updates? [12:23] Unfortunately, I'd rather not log out, in case I made a mistake and destroyed my pam config. [12:23] hello, could somebody help. When I createa new user, metacity doesn't start automatically, you need to type metacity --replace . Is there another option? For main user everything works OK. [12:23] Smokey401: do you get the boot menu ? [12:23] ikonia > one more thing. How do I make the changes stick? Logoff? [12:23] yes i do [12:23] Xintruder: it's probably because of a kernel change :) [12:23] LeShnoz: what changes do you mean ? [12:23] Smokey401: ok, have you ran a "cd check" from the menu ? [12:23] not yet [12:23] ikonia, I have a message when I make sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sdd1 /media/mydrive/ the message is: $LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0) [12:23] Hi all. [12:23] Smokey401: thats always going to be step 1 [12:24] ok [12:24] WooD: it's not unmounting cleanly [12:24] is there any kind of failsafe mode ? [12:24] ikonia, ok how to clean that device .. is there any command for this ? [12:24] WooD > try to use -force [12:24] I have an XP sharing a printer, can I print to it? [12:24] WooD: no, as it's ntfs. You will need to boot into windows and run a check disk on it [12:24] at the end of your command [12:24] helped me :) [12:25] but I guess it's dangerous [12:25] ikonia: ok [12:25] or sth. [12:25] Carlosh, it will work but I dont like that kind of message [12:25] wood: is it a usb device [12:25] I spotted, that Kile doesn't do System check correctly. [12:25] I don't get it again after force :) [12:26] murch, nop it is a SATA drive [12:26] It doesn't display results. [12:28] ikonia > changing the permissions via root terminal doesnt seem to hold. "File access" reverts to "---". I assume if I made File Access Read/Write for Others I would be able to write to the disk? [12:28] LeShnoz: correct [12:28] anyone know how to get mysql support in maildrop on ubuntu? [12:29] bziobnic: is maildrop linked against mysql in the ubuntu package ? [12:29] ikonia: how do I tell? I am kind of new to ubuntu... [12:29] ldd shows no mysql libraries linked to maildrop, so probably not [12:29] after setting permissions I click close, and when I open the permissions again the File Access for all 3 fields have gone to "---". It does save the "Group" name though. [12:30] bziobnic: there you go then, no mysql support for you [12:30] ikonia: so the only option is compile from source? [12:31] Just want to ask. How can I report bug in Kile in Ubuntu. I don't know whether it is bug in upstream. Iwanted to report it in launchpad.net, but kile isn't tracked there. [12:31] Hi, any bluetooth guru? I paired my new phone with my PC, but when I ntry to connect from my phone to pc, it says it can;t connect. [12:31] ikonia > I just did the chmod instead. I wonder whats wrong though? (I wanted to go through ubuntus interface) [12:33] grmph :/ [12:33] I still can log without the password. [12:34] ikonia: it hung on the cd check [12:34] Any of you guys has been able to make work a eSATA drive on ubuntu ? [12:35] ikonia: any idea why I can log in without the password ? [12:35] whenever it seams to hang the hdd and cdrom lights stay almost solid [12:35] (presumably a problem with my pam.d, of course) [12:35] a [12:37] Smokey401: either the disk is dead or the hardware has an issue [12:37] Yoric[DT]: depends on your pam setup [12:38] i forgot my password for irc, what do i do? [12:38] wj32: /msg nickserv help [12:38] ikonia: is there some kind of failsafe mode like knoppix? [12:38] If I want my gnome to look super cool, what would I do? [12:39] Smokey401 yes, but if youd cd can't check, thats not a good start [12:39] Xintruder play around with the config/themes [12:39] ikonia: what do i do then... [12:39] ikonia: pam_unix, pam_mount, pam_mkhomedir [12:39] wj32: read the help [12:39] I want more themes, what do I do ikonia? [12:39] Yoric[DT]: wgats that [12:40] Yoric[DT]: depends on your pam setup [12:40] wj32: you need to /msg a freenode staffer [12:40] Xintruder: view gnome-look.org, or join #gnome and get told to go and play, but this isn't an ubuntu problem [12:40] wj32: /stats p [12:40] ikonia: what would you sugest? im alredy downloading the alt. desktop iso [12:40] Yoric[DT]: thats not a pam setup, thats just a list of pacckage [12:40] atoponce: no you don't [12:40] atoponce: you just need your password reset, and that is what nickserve is there for [12:40] ikonia, you do [12:40] ikonia: if you forgot your pass, you can't reset it with nickserv [12:40] well the help page doesnt display anyhting about recovering my password [12:40] ikonia: fair enough, that's a high-level overview of my pam setup :) [12:41] thank you ikonia [12:41] Smokey401: your cd is broke or your hardware is having issues [12:41] Dave2: you certain. [12:41] Ha. I found out how to report bug in Kile. But bug reporting tool reported error when submitting. All fields are filled correctly. [12:41] i can message without logging in, whats the point...

[12:52] hello [12:53] db-keen: due to the different software [12:53] think [12:53] thanks [12:53] db-keen, gutsy's have new versions of most htings, built for gutsy. [12:53] db-keen, don't use gutsy sources on feisty... upgrade properly or not at all [12:53] but why do some third-party repositories still keep separate folders, [12:53] even when they are publishing new versions to all ubuntu releases [12:54] db-keen: Because the dependencies are different [12:54] db-keen, because sometimes they need to do seperate because of build deps [12:54] hi all [12:54] db-keen: Or may be different [12:54] db-keen: some people run feisty, some run gutsy [12:54] i have some question.. am a newbie [12:55] Safiyyah: Ask away ;) [12:55] Ask, don't ask to ask. :) [12:55] i am ready to switch to ubuntu but i need serious help with my peripheral devices.... most importantly my modem [12:55] am adamant not to start any installations until i know how to get my modem going thus can get help thereafter [12:56] i have a speedtouch 330.... broadband usb modem [12:56] manufactured by Thompson [12:56] PrinceChild: I would expect the dependencies to be the same [12:56] !bitlbee [12:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about bitlbee - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [12:56] Safiyyah: have you tried the live cd to see if it works?

Why should dependencies be different from Debian stable to Ubuntu Gutsy to Ubuntu Feisty? [13:05] ok am looking it over [13:05] atoponce: That's correct, yes. [13:05] Suva so wot does linux like for a modem? [13:05] db-keen: dependencies may be differing versions between feisty and gutsy. what works in gutsy may break in feisty [13:05] db-keen: Because the packages arent necessarily named the same across distributions [13:05] atoponce: Should I see a bitlbee process in ps ax if it's installed? [13:05] Safiyyah: Some normal router kind of modems [13:05] Safiyyah: Not USB [13:06] MolePrince: no. it's running under the xinetd service [13:06] Hi, 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] Pici: is it common for packages to change names? [13:06] I have some cable modem that does ethernet over USB, so it's a router kind of modem with USB :) [13:06] atoponce: AH, ok. Any ideas what else I could check? [13:06] atoponce: Nmap doesn't show 6667 as a service fwiw [13:07] Suva 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 kitty [13:07] db-keen: Certantly across from debian to ubuntu, yes. [13:07] MolePrince: i was just churning through netstat, to see that port 6667 is being bound [13:08] atoponce: I only show 25 and 80 bound on mine [13:10] MolePrince: hmm. yeah. 0.0.0.0:6667 should be listed, otherwise, bitlbee isn't running [13:10] atoponce: Got it! I had service bitlbee instead of service ircd in the xinet.d/bitlbee file >< [13:10] MolePrince: cool [13:11] atoponce: Thanks for your response, sorry I'm a bad reader ;) [13:11] MolePrince: heh. np [13:11] Safiyyah: No, change in connection speed [13:11] hello everybody [13:11] What is 'plain jane code' (http://htmltree.com/javascript.php)?

What does your answer imply? [13:13] hi , with a file-name , how to get the package-name ? pkg does not install yet , i know dpkg -S file , that is search the local [13:13] bullgard4: "plain jane code" is referring to the javascript code that is handled by the browser. it's slang [13:13] is it the same /etc/ntp.conf that shall be created/editied for normal ubuntu too? [13:14] bullgard4: on other words, he's saying that there's nothing fancy going on. no complex libraries, or dependencies, php, or anything else. just plain jane code [13:14] sandr-, atoponce: Thank you very much for explaing. [13:14] bullgard4: np [13:15] the live-cd don't set timezone correctly... it never asked so it is understandable :-) but if I want it to be correct here I could add the /etc/ntp.conf to my livecd then.... [13:16] does someone know when sladen is used to participate on this chan ? [13:17] siddharta: We're all volunteers, people participate when they want to. [13:17] where can i find a list of the basic commands i need to time in the command promp, i.e cp mv etc [13:17] siddharta: if you have a question about ubuntu, just ask. there 1159 people in the channel. that's odds enough that someone can answer it [13:17] i dont remember most of them i have just forgotten it all [13:18] Pici: atoponce , i need to join him to get more information on a topic on his website [13:18] Safiyyah, http://www.ss64.com/bash/ [13:18] Safiyyah: google. i don't think there is any single repository of linux/unix commands. and if there were, it would be overwhelmingly large [13:18] siddharta: send him a memo via memoserv then [13:19] per l italiano? [13:19] ok i google to know how to use memoserv [13:19] !it | arturo [13:19] arturo: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!

It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.

GNOME users can use 'gocr-gtk' as a front-end to GOcr, while KDE users have Kooka available as a front-end to Ocrad and GOcr.

[13:52] good morning folks. i am trying to install ubuntu on my hp dv6000 notebook and am having problems. after i select 'start or install' from the boot menu a prompt shows that drivers are being loaded, and then the screen goes black and i have to restart. can anyone tell me why this is happening? [13:52] x9x: it's the same process as any livecd, you just need to update the drivers to the correct compatability versions [13:52] Cal: do you have an ATI card ? [13:53] ikonia, no nvidia [13:53] Cal: have you tried using the failsafe boot option ? [13:53] ahhh now i have the fear [13:53] ikonia, no not yet. if that works what does that suggest? [13:54] i need to look at resizing partitions, anyone got any suggestions on the easiest way to do this [13:54] Cal: 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 seen [13:54] can any one helo whuch linux is good choise for server i mean dhcp and routing tottaly act like win 2k3 [13:54] aram: anyone [13:54] aram: ubuntu is quite acceptable [13:54] yeah 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 part [13:54] aram: the desktop eddition would work well [13:55] ikonia, my video card is a geforce go 6150. [13:55] Cal: I'm not aware of the specifics of that model [13:55] x9x: you just need to include the drivers for you / your friend in the livecd you build [13:55] ikonia: i mean can i run dhcp , routing ,dns and some stuff like that ? [13:55] aram none of them will act like windows server, but any would handle dhcp and routing (but not like w2k3) [13:55] aram: correct [13:55] aram: the ubuntu desktop cd will be a perfect install solution [13:55] ikonia: x9x: you just need to include the drivers for you / your friend in the livecd you build [13:56] 14:55 aram: [13:56] oups... [13:56] ok is that easy :-) [13:56] ikonia, alright well i'll give the safe mode boot a try. if that works, how can i solve my problem? also where on the net can i find ubuntu hardware compatibility? [13:56] What command should I use if I want to replace every instance of string "A" with string "B" in all files in DIR (and all files in subdirectories of it) [13:56] ikonia: how can i find out about about feature of ubuntu ? [13:56] Cal: if that works you won't have a problem on the install system, its a limiation of the static drivers on the cd [13:56] aram: read ubuntu.com ? [13:57] ikonia: i got redhat but it seemd to be same as ubuntu [13:57] ffm sed [13:57] aram: all linux distros are built around the same technologies so their functions / capabilities will be mostly the same [13:57] th0r: thx [13:57] where is eeeFiatpuntu?

[14:19] xsavier stop asking every 30 seconds [14:19] ok im back [14:19] ikonia: excuse me? [14:20] Xintruder: typo, not meant for you, apologies [14:20] 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 fdisk [14:20] xsavier: gparted will resize also [14:20] If When I right-click on my desktop and goto change wallpaper, the appearance menu doesn't respond :'( [14:20] anyone help? [14:20] xsavier: are you doing a new install? please be precise [14:21] ubuntuisloved_, enabling nvidia for desktop-effects has some tricks [14:21] how do I go about fixing a problem like this? [14:21] ubuntuisloved: 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 again [14:21] Guillem: im all ears for help on any tutorial? [14:21] :( [14:22] ubuntuisloved_, 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] ljsmithx: 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] oo [14:22] I have a Nvidia 7300 tho, Xintuder has a 7400 (i think) [14:22] I have automatix installed [14:22] !automatix | ljsmithx [14:22] Guillem:cant u post me a tutorial [14:22] ljsmithx: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [14:22] thanks ikonia [14:22] did that break it? [14:22] Ok he says 20.0 GB, 20000268288 bytes [14:22] ohh dear [14:22] ljsmithx: automatix? uh oh [14:22] ljsmithx: Yes you broke it.. fresh install is the way to go [14:22] ubuntuisloved_, and depending on your hardware you have to enable some options for the nvidia-kernel-driver.... [14:22] uninstall? [14:22] ljsmithx: we do not support systems that have ever used automatix [14:23] ljsmithx: no - clean ubuntu install only [14:23] ok then [14:23] ? [14:23] aww [14:23] ljsmithx: you need to re-install ubuntu [14:23] ljsmithx: sorry just too many variables [14:23] ubuntuisloved_, I'm not sure, since I've been evolving from long time ago... [14:23] so i wont ever be able to get help ever? [14:23] thats just crap [14:23] ubuntuisloved_, first step is to ensure you have the propietary driver working. [14:23] ljsmithx: Nope [14:23] ljsmithx: not until you re-install ubuntu [14:23] :'( [14:23] * bazhang wonders what the attraction of automatix/envy is [14:23] Guillem: how do i do this [14:23] bazhang, lemmings [14:23] ljsmithx: thats not "crap" that was your choice using tools created by people who are nothing to do with ubuntu [14:24] ok then [14:24] sorry [14:24] ljsmithx: We had a whole series of people with automatix related problems last night [14:24] I just heard about automatix and thought it was a good idea [14:24] So 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 200gb [14:24] ljsmithx: there is an automatix channel i think [14:24] elkbuntu: seems that way :} [14:25] 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 OS [14:25] UbuntuNeuling: 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 drive [14:25] can someone help me get an internet connection on ubuntu 7.10? [14:25] !gparted [14:25] GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [14:25] can someone help me get an internet connection on ubuntu 7.10? [14:25] Hi, I can't install msttcorefonts... I don't really need it , but I can't remove it too [14:25] xoqa, don't spam [14:25] ubuntuisloved_, ideally, the restricted-modules-manager should show you the way [14:26] xoqa: wired or wireless [14:26] xoqa, whats ur set up? wired/wireless etc? [14:26] I have a ubuntu live cd with gparted. Is that working too? I am online with this live cd atm [14:26] The pcess stops configuring and downloading *.exe [14:26] i want to die :'( [14:26] is anybody familiar with hda-intel bus [14:26] bazhang: wired [14:26] LuCypher: pastebin what happens when you try [14:26] F-u-z-z-Y: wired [14:26] ljsmithx: 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] Guillem: should i remove that other package first? [14:26] strange that the flash-thing isn't fixed yet.... what is best version in terms of be able too use as many webpages that unfortunately require flash? (no I dont count ads here...) the old one or the new? [14:26] UbuntuNeuling: entirely different, which is why I was specific and gave the link [14:26] xoqa: your ethernet does not work? is this gutsy? can you access the computer now? [14:27] ubuntuisloved_, not necessary. You need to have working the nvidia proprietary driver prior to any other thing. [14:27] xoqa, do you get an ip address from plugging a ethernet cable in? [14:27] ubuntuisloved_, that step is mandatory [14:27] bazhang: i can access it but i have to disconnect from irc to do so because i only have on cable. [14:28] need help with using hsf modem under ubuntu [14:28] i followed the directions on http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde and removed the libs and installed kde, but after rebooting, no internet.. <- bazhang, F-u-z-z-Y [14:28] x9x: normally i just grab the tar.gz from adobe anyway. all you do is drop it in plugins folder /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ i think is right [14:28] !dialup > anubis_ (anubis_, see the private message from Ubotu) [14:28] xoqa: this is computer you are using now? with another os? [14:28] x9x: er drop the plugin that is in the tar.gz [14:28] LjL Wouldn't it take longer to do that than reinstall.? And good morning.. [14:28] pike_, ok [14:28] bazhang: it's another computer, mine. i just got it in the other day. it's a thinkpad t41 [14:28] Jack_Sparrow, i really don't think so [14:29] ubuntuisloved_, as I told you, ideally, System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager [14:29] Guillem: do you recommend Envy? [14:30] xoqa: 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 point [14:30] ubuntuisloved_, nope [14:30] That 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...." option [14:30] ubuntuisloved_, I recommend the ubuntu packages already available at the repositories. [14:30] hey guys...I'm having some trouble starting FVWM-Crystal [14:30] Jack_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 circumstances [14:31] everytime I try to start it from GDM, I get a "your session lasted less than 10 seconds" error [14:31] dgjones: not likely as it is not supported [14:31] i'm using libdb4.4-dev and not able to compile my berkeley db programs on Gutsy any help? [14:31] LjL Good to know thanks [14:31] bazhang, F-u-z-z-Y: Ethernet controller: Intel Corp 82540EP Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Mobile) (rev 03) === dvredenburgh is now known as d_tech123 [14:32] xoqa: so when you connect it to via ethernet you get no dhcp offers? this via network-manager or the terminal? [14:33] bazhang: terminal [14:33] automessage: downloading 66% of 100MB - 16KB/s [14:33] http://pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org/51196/ [14:34] novato_br: uh? [14:34] xoqa: are you going to get this computer going on the same network? if so, via router or second ethernet cable? at some point in time that is [14:34] Is there some italian guy? [14:34] xoqa, a month ago I saw a hp laptop which had trouble with a wired card - I guess it was an Intel card, not sure- The workarround consisted on starting the kernel with the pci=noacpi option. [14:35] !it | redrah [14:35] redrah: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [14:35] bazhang: i'm going to unplug the ethernet cable plugged in this one, put it in the other computer's port and reset the cable modem [14:35] hey has anyone experienced gnash working in one account and not in another? [14:36] Guillem: is there a log of this conversation? [14:36] Hi, I can't install msttcorefonts... I don't really need it , but I can't remove it too http://pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org/51196/ [14:36] xoqa: so both will be on the same network--or just the one computer? [14:36] LuCypher: How are you trying to remove msttcorefonts? [14:36] bazhang: one computer, one connection. one at a time [14:36] If I do apt-get remove or dpkg -r it starts with configuration anyway [14:36] xoqa, no, it was a friend of mine... we googled for the model of the laptop and we reached a page where a guy stated the problem... [14:36] hi, does anyone know where keymap files are on gutsy? [14:37] LuCypher: Does synaptic show it as installed? [14:37] Guillem: i just find it odd that i remove these apps and then don't have an internet connection [14:37] Jack_Sparrow : yes [14:37] xoqa, it was something like this page : http://marcin.af.gliwice.pl/if-then-else-20071022085850 (but it was not that one...) [14:37] how do i start the ubuntu server installation in text-mode (not graphical mode) [14:37] LuCypher: Have you tried to remove it from there? [14:37] Guillem: i could try installing ubuntu-desktop :| i kind of like my kde deskto :) [14:37] Jack_Sparrow : yes [14:37] hello [14:38] LuCypher: Does it give you an error or tell you what to do to fix it? [14:38] i from korea [14:38] xoqa, I'm sorry because I have not read all your problem. Just the bottom line and then I've remembered the trouble of my friend. Probably it is not your case... [14:38] hellooo anyone? [14:38] nice to meet you [14:38] simplyubuntu: what ? [14:38] N: do you have a question based on ubuntu ? [14:38] N: this is a support channel [14:38] nVidia GeForce 8600M GT 256 MB graphics and 2 Mega Pixel Built-In Webcam ( +$199.00 ) << is this old???? because my nvidia has go instead of geforce, and will it work well with gutsy? [14:38] Jack_Sparrow : every time I try to remove it it starts with "pre-removal script" that is the same "post-install" [14:38] Xintruder: go is a laptop model [14:39] ikonia my gnash works with one account and not with the other... [14:39] oh ic [14:39] my thin client wont boot, i get a message related to the sound card during the boot process, and then just a blinking cursor. can anyone help? [14:39] simplyubuntu: look at .firefox or .mozzilla in the home dir's of the working/nonworking users [14:39] LuCypher: I take it you are cancelling it out at that point? [14:39] dfault312: anything logged [14:39] i dont know, where would the log files be? [14:40] @ikonia: where would the log files be? [14:40] vncserver doesn't work. with "could not open default font 'fixed'". how can i fix it? [14:40] hellooo? [14:40] iNtERrUpT, you are at 64bit install, aren't you? [14:40] iNtERrUpT: yes ? [14:40] no, i am 32bit. [14:41] slighly off from my main problem, but also, with this version of ubuntu (7.10) i always have to select 'recovery mode' or else it looks like it's going to load but it's just blank... i haven't left it alone for more than 2 mins and then i reboot by pressing ctl-alt-del. anyone know of something similar where this has occured? [14:41] dfault312: well how far does the boot get ? the log files will be on the boot setber [14:41] iNtERrUpT: is the server just a bare install no X? [14:41] server [14:41] no, desktop. [14:41] anybode here who is a real w-lan expert - i've got some very strange problems... [14:41] ok ikonia what am i looking for [14:41] Jack_Sparrow : I left it go... But when finished it says that some of the *.exe cab is corrupted and gives me: "pre-removal script sub-process has given error code1" [14:41] simplyubuntu: differences [14:41] X does work. but vnc server crash with "could not open default font 'fixed'" [14:42] simplyubuntu: check the .plugin folder too [14:42] simplyubuntu: I assumed you install gnash via apt [14:42] iNtERrUpT: is that font available to it ? [14:42] in which package can i find the gtk startup-manager tool?? [14:42] yep ikonia [14:42] xoqa: you have a livecd around? you might want to try booting from the livecd and see if that can acquire an internet connection--hard to know what you have done to your system [14:42] @ikonia: boot gets past the splash screen, the cursor starts blinking when the bar finishes loading. i disabled the splash screen to see the message about the audio card... where is boot setber? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [14:42] ikonia, I think it's yes. but vncserver can't detect font 'fixed' [14:43] dfault312: boot server [14:43] iNtERrUpT: check if it's installed and available, or change vnc server to use a different font [14:43] @ikonia: what file on the boot server? [14:43] um.. how can i change ? [14:43] LuCypher: SOmething odd here...How were they installed. and if you say you used automatix or envy scripts to install anything I am gonna scream.. [14:43] dfault312: I don't know off the top of my head, look in the generic log files, come on, your setting up this environemtn you should know the basicsis [14:44] ikonia, how can i change the font? [14:44] Jack_Sparrow : I stay away from Envy or Automatix [14:44] phew [14:44] Jack_Sparrow : It was installed as a dependency of ubuntu-restricted-extras [14:45] iNtERrUpT, there are several vnc-servers....which one have you installed? [14:45] @ikonia: i just followed the LTSP Quick Install guide... I have no experience with linux, I'm used to M$ [14:45] anybody here who is a real w-lan expert - i am experiencing a very strange problem [14:45] iNtERrUpT, perhaps you shoud use the vnc4server [14:45] !ask | luksmann [14:45] luksmann: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [14:46] bazhang: i'm sure it can get the internet... i'm going to reboot... brb [14:46] ikonia is copying the working users .mozilla to the other users home dir? [14:46] LuCypher: Good to know you never tried or used automatix... We have seen way to many problems these last couple days. Are you running something under wine in the background ? [14:46] ikonia, I am using realvnc. [14:46] Jack_Sparrow : ps aux | grep wine ........ nothing [14:46] LuCypher: Oh, and is this a real install or some vm optional setup? [14:47] Jack_Sparrow : Real install... As I've done it many times before... [14:47] can anyone help me find the boot logs for my LTSP thin client? [14:48] LuCypher: Sorry , I am at a loss on this.. maybe after I finish my morning coffee I will have something, hopefully you will get an answer before that. [14:48] iNtERrUpT, vncserver from vnc4server works for me... [14:48] hey ... i need some help .... [14:48] Jack_Sparrow : Is there any way I can tell apt-get to remove but don't do configure (pre-remove)??? [14:48] Drixx: be more specific [14:48] can't mount my external to my laptop ... [14:48] Guillem, ... how can i do fix it -_-; help me plz [14:48] can't mount my external to my laptop ... [14:48] @Drixx: what happens when you try [14:49] my 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 buggy [14:49] it says ... " cant mount " try force mount or add a command to /etc/.. n [14:49] LuCypher: You can purge it, but my concern is the corrupt *.exe cab files... this problem is the tip of the iceberg [14:50] can anyone help me find the boot logs for my LTSP thin client? [14:50] @Drixx: im not sure [14:50] LuCypher: Are you running the repo version of wine or an upgraded version [14:50] dfault312: this cmd " mount -t ntfs-3g/dev/sdb5/media/New Volume -o force root" [14:50] to /etc/fstab [14:51] to /etc/fstab [14:51] dfault312: to /etc/fstab [14:51] iNtERrUpT, you are executing like this: "vncserver :10", OK? [14:51] dfault312: how do i do that ?? .. [14:52] Guillem, it seems yes, but log file: [14:52] Fatal server error: [14:52] could not open default font 'fixed' [14:52] iNtERrUpT, in synaptic, I can see :vncserver, vnc4server and xtightvncserver; try installing each one and see if any of them works [14:52] drixx: go to the terminal and type "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" [14:52] what do i have to install to play vcd's? [14:52] Odd-rationale : u there ?? [14:53] oh, thx. i'll try it. [14:53] drixx: then add that command into the file [14:53] iNtERrUpT, some of the vncserver do read your xorg.conf to locate the fonts, other do not AFAIK [14:53] dfault312: ..kk [14:53] drixx: im not sure if that will work [14:53] i tried ... [14:53] Guillem, oh ic. thx. [14:53] dfault312: would you not use gksudo for gedit as it is a gui app [14:53] dfault312: but where in that file ?? [14:53] drixx: did you do a restart after you added that line? [14:53] iNtERrUpT, you can see if your xorg.conf is OK, by launcing "xload -fn fixed" and see if it shows a simmilar error [14:53] Hi all [14:53] drixx: where is which file? [14:53] it does'nt add ... [14:54] Guillem, i'll try it :D thx [14:54] I've got a somewhat difficult question about releases and package versions: [14:54] !ask [14:54] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [14:54] I didn't ask-to-ask... I began my question in a civilized way. [14:54] iNtERrUpT, if shows an error, check you have a Section "Files" in your xorg.conf with several FontPath entries starting with /usr/share/fonts/X11 [14:55] alephant: what is the issue [14:55] trying to get to it [14:55] ... [14:55] The point is.. feel free to ask your question.. all on one line.. no lead in is needed. [14:55] the section "files" is empty [14:55] =_= [14:55] can anyone help me find the boot logs for my thin client? [14:56] dfault312: its saved ... [14:56] shud i reeboot ?? [14:56] drixx: yeah, try that [14:56] LuCypher: u can try sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/info/packagename.prerm > insert i.e. add "exit 0" after set -e (without the quotes) [14:56] dfault312: kk ... thnx dude ... [14:56] Jack_Sparrow : Sorry... I was googling... I have no wine installed, but I don't think it's needed, it uses cabextract to install fonts [14:57] can anyone help me find the boot logs for my thin client? [14:57] I 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] That is, without maintaining my own non-updating package repository. [14:57] Guillem, oh, thx. i've fixed. [14:57] iNtERrUpT, nice! [14:57] xorg.org, section "files" was empty. [14:57] thx. [14:58] totem 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] alephant: So you want an install that you can lock down.. Is that the basic concept? [14:58] alephant: what packages are you talking about? [14:58] Not so much locking down the install, but guaranteeing that a subsequent install four months later will be identical to the original. [14:59] sudo apt-get install vlc :) [14:59] rajasun, thanks it worked [14:59] can anyone help me find the boot logs for my thin client? [14:59] bazhang: there are many. mod_python is the specific offender: it's currently broken in Feisty but wasn't at Feisty's release >:-| [14:59] LuCypher: np [14:59] iNtERrUpT, nevertheless, you can enable the :0 vnc at either gnome/KDE... in gnome is called "remote desktop" in the preferences menu... [15:00] LuCypher: trick saved me many times b4 in similar situations. most handy ;) [15:00] how do you set the run level for various deamons? i am used the the chkconfig command on red hat. [15:00] alephant: 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] brb [15:00] Guillem, oh ic. thx you're so kind. [15:01] rajasun : I'll add it to my how-tos docs [15:01] alephant: 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 else [15:01] iNtERrUpT, you obviously don't know me, Muhaaahaaaa [15:01] lol Guillem [15:01] LuCypher: LOL. k. [15:01] :D [15:02] Is there an easy way to check whether I'm running 32 or 64-bit? [15:02] ok guys [15:02] i've uninstalled automatix [15:02] what now? [15:02] (I know which it is, I just need to be able to check...) [15:02] asc: cant recall what you downloaded? [15:02] asc, you can check the binaries: file /usr/bin/some_binary [15:03] The 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] alephant: Ok, back.. nature called [15:03] asc, also uname -a shows the arch [15:03] asc, but won't work as you expect within a 32bit chroot.... [15:03] why do i have to be superuser to mount this drive: [15:03] UUID /media/Xp ntfs user,noauto,rw 0 0 [15:03] and not this one: [15:03] UUID /media/Hdd2 ext3 user,noauto,rw 0 0 [15:03] It works in this case. Thanks. [15:04] So 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] aww [15:04] aladdinsane: /media/Xp/ is not in the fstab [15:04] alephant: aptoncd sounds the safest bet; otherwise you might consider commercial support from canonical [15:04] the thing is that its only the appearance menu that goes funnyt [15:04] aladdinsane, probably because ntfs needs fuse to access rw (Idon't know really since I do not ntfs at all) [15:04] NO other window does it [15:04] aladdinsane, I'm talking based on hearings... [15:04] alephant: 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... [15:05] asc, getconf LONG_BIT [15:05] donkdonk: what do u mean? that was acopy from fstab [15:05] this 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] Tyczek, wow [15:05] What I wish for is a "tag" within a distro... ``-t feisty'' but without pulling in updates since the release. [15:05] Guillem, ? [15:05] ljsmithx: you uninstalled automatix? there may still be problems associated with it, and afaik automatix is not supported here [15:05] so how do i fix it? i want to change things but cant [15:05] donkdonk update-rc.d [15:05] Tyczek, I didn't know that trick. Interesting! [15:05] aladdinsane: then it should be automaticly mounting at boot... [15:06] DAMN YOU AUTOMATIX! [15:06] Guillem, magic ;p [15:06] Tyczek, smart + elegant [15:06] caps ljsmithx [15:06] donkdonk: as u see i have set it to noauto, and that was not my question [15:06] ljsmithx: You KNOW the answer... [15:06] Tyczek, getconf is linux-only ? [15:06] I do, but I might go for Mint [15:06] aladdinsane: ok, the answer is you always have to be root to mount anything [15:07] so I don't have to download the codecs and stuff again [15:07] Guillem, dunno, but in 99 % yes ;p [15:07] aladdinsane, this is my mount for an ntfs partition - UUID= /media/windows ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1, maybe that will help [15:07] ljsmithx: Just so you know.. Mint ships with Envy.. similar to automatix.. and Mint has little or no support.. check it out first.. [15:07] ljsmithx: not a wise choice; mint is loads slower than ubuntu; but to each his own good luck! [15:07] I just don't understand what automatix has done to break my appearance menu [15:07] donkdonk: you *don't* have to be root to mount; root can allow users to mount specific devices in /etc/fstab [15:07] how do i add a shared network folder to exaile? rhythmbox can do it though. [15:08] Ok guys, I have found my ubuntu install disk [15:08] donkdonk: 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] ljsmithx: Read the link under automatix.. it explains how it breaks your system and why it is so hard to fix [15:08] !automatix > ljsmithx [15:08] !automatix | ljsmithx [15:08] :O [15:08] !automatix [15:08] automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [15:09] dgjones: ok, but i want my drive NOT to mount at start-up, hence the noauto, but then i would like to be able to mount it as user when i need to [15:09] is there an xml or RSS feeds channel anyone knows about? I am having a problem with google reader and a feed I created and would like to bounce a question off someone. [15:09] hey anyone, what's the plugin i need to have totem play vcd's? [15:09] aladdinsane use the 3dfg utility for read write [15:09] qvsa123:vlc [15:09] I WISH I knew about this before installing, there should be a thing on the forums... [15:10] gvsa123: vlc [15:10] installing automatix [15:10] Hi... anyone know how to sync a Samsung F700 with Ubuntu 7.10? [15:10] brobostigon: but that's a whole new player right? [15:10] gvsa123: yep [15:10] ljsmithx: This are lots of warnings, but there are also a lot of worksforme out there.. [15:11] hello [15:11] ljsmithx: Of course worksforme.. until the next update.. seldom gets posted. [15:11] brobostigon: isn't totem just missing a plugin? [15:11] Ok, I wont leave ubuntu yet. [15:11] my 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 buggy [15:12] gvsa123: no idea, but vlc definatly plays vcds. [15:12] astabeno: 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 up [15:12] I'll back up my things to dvd then install again [15:12] :) [15:12] ljsmithx: SInce you are reinstalling anyway, feel free to check it out.. You will feel much better about your choice of Ubuntu when you return [15:12] Hi, someone on the forum said that the real time kernel will make performance worse? Is this true? Is making a low latency kernel by recompiling better? [15:13] check what out Jack_Sparrow? [15:13] ljsmithx: mint [15:13] ok [15:13] another thing [15:13] brobostigon: hmmm... i'd like to have just one app to handle movies as much as possible... [15:13] I have lots of bookmarks and stuff I don't want to lose. is there a way to save them to txt or something? [15:14] ljsmithx: It is cute... I installed it on a spare partition I use for testing.. and FYI extra partitions and a seperate /home are great to have [15:14] gvsa123: i dont knw about totem, but my recommendation for vcds is vlc. [15:14] cool [15:14] ljsmithx: You can export your bookmarks or even mail them to yourself if you want [15:14] nobody here who can help me? [15:14] gvsa123: and vlc plays every movie format in existance pretty much [15:15] hello can anyone help me with runnung gg-client [15:15] From the live CD? [15:15] ya [15:15] brobostigon: thanks though. i'll try to see if i can make totem work before getting vlc [15:15] ok [15:15] luksmann: wish I could. I have similar weirdness with the same chipset. [15:15] how can i install jabber [15:15] ? [15:15] luksmann: try iwl3945 perhaps? [15:15] brobostigon: i have on my xp also... :) [15:16] alephant: at least i'm not alone [15:16] bemous: pidgin [15:16] ? [15:16] bemous, pidgin supports jabber plugin. [15:16] alephant: happens in static ip and dynamic mode - i just have to get near enough to the AP then everything workds [15:16] \ [15:16] tell me more [15:17] ljsmithx: You cant get to your ubuntu install in safe mode or any other way?... then you can do it live... [15:17] can someone help me with k3b? flac is installed but it refuses to add .flac files [15:17] !pidgin | bemous [15:17] bemous: pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It is available in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), but not previous versions. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info. To install Pidgin please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallPidgin2.0 [15:17] thanks [15:18] anybody know how to create a ram-drive in fstab? i would like to use it for temp files [15:18] Jack_Sparrow, I'm re-installing ubuntu because of no support for anuthing if I have or had automatix. I want to keep my bookmarks that I have right now in firefox. [15:18] I want to export them [15:18] but to the live cd [15:19] ljsmithx: backup you firefox dir in your home folder. [15:19] how do i do that? [15:19] copy paste? [15:19] ljsmithx: Yuo cant export to the livecd.. it is a CD Rom.. you can save them to a usb stick or to another partition or send via email. [15:20] yep [15:20] ok [15:20] aladdinsane: mount a tmpfs anywhere you like [15:20] thanks for the help guys [15:20] cya [15:20] ljsmithx: I find mine in /user/.mozilla/firefox/rbbhl8lp.defaults/bookmarks.html [15:20] void^: ok how do i mount it on my ram? === wmaulik is now known as ShortShort [15:21] Flash is still broken =( [15:21] ive got dual display working but i cant seem to make my laptop the default screen and Not the LCD attached?

[17:42] shade052 the samba file system driver is part of the kernel [17:42] as a new linux or ubuntu user I was pretty confused about the differences of add/remove in applications tab and synaptics package manager, when was one used as opposed to another one [17:42] shade052: the samba client is installed by default [17:42] zcode: When i do make -d, I get some info on the program, and then the line: reading makefile "makefil" [17:42] zcode, but then it discontineues again [17:43] :/ [17:43] can anyone tell me how to install cpkg package [17:43] Xman: you've been told what to do [17:43] opus: both use the same backend, they're just different ways of doing the same thing.

[17:45] ikonia: but i am sure that samba was not part of the daper drake kernel. am i wrong. because in that it was impossible to connect to windows without getting samba connected [17:45] also, when I double click on a app which does not load instantly the cursor doesnt change to clock ikon, for new users also confusing one doesn't know if the app is starting or double click just doesnt work ..

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.

[18:47] :-\ ugh [18:48] how can I force Nautilius to login on a network share ? (its logging in anonymously atm) [18:48] LjL: right... [18:48] mneptok thats strange it was up yesterday [18:48] if i want to install KDE what package should I install?

[18:48] No one able to help me? :/ [18:48] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: im back i did the reboot [18:48] gentimjs: use apt-cache search pythony to find the good package name [18:48] I'm a bit confused on how the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor is supposed to work. I know that is supposed to scale the frequency to something like 800mhz *for mine* but it is supposed to do its job when you are idle...right? well what is considered idle? [18:48] thanks! [18:48] neverblue: places > connect to server [18:48] Redhammer_the_A_ panasonic sv-mp25v [18:49] hey all ;) [18:49] _moro_bana_: ok, put up a new copy of sudo ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid [18:49] Anybody using joomla here ? [18:49] okay, crt1 is my left monitor and tmds1 is my right - I can enable them both (it clones them) or neither, or one at a time. crt1 works alone, but tmds1 gets scrambled by itself. Any ideas? [18:49] kaboombob is it ums or mtp device ie does it work as a "normal Usb stick" or as mtp devie in windows [18:49] P_Kable: no, we'rea ll using IRC ;) [18:50] DRebellion, yes, thats a quick fix, but can you answer my question directly ?

(its logging in anonymously atm) [18:51] Hi. Can gparted in gutsy resize a vista partition cleanly? [18:51] Does it use a funky filesystem of some sort? [18:51] so how do i create shortcut to a webpage llike my webmail on my gnome desktop [18:51] at anyrate, my system is lagging horribly and im not running anything other than this [18:51] _moro_bana_: ah, much better. Now I see both the old and new partitions in that listing [18:51] is there a simple way to grab the access date of a file from the command line? [18:51] pteague: type "apxs" as if you have it. Answer appear to be apache-dev [18:51] steveire: windows uses ntfs [18:51] !ntfs | steveire [18:51] steveire: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE [18:52] edulix: You want the link at the very bottom of that AptGetHowto page- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto pinning forces a particular version.

[18:52] ahahah [18:52] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: yeh i do too [18:52] nephex: what problem? [18:52] !ask | nephex [18:52] nephex: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [18:52] DRebellion> ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about apxs - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - which returns nothing as well [18:53] Redhammer_the_A_ nope i didnt [18:53] yes [18:53] kaboom sent you antoher just now [18:53] so how do i force the RAM to reload or w/e cause its mostly used by some invisible process i cant seem to see. i tried to disable compiz but i still lag, and my rig isnt that bad [18:53] so how do i create shortcut to a webpage llike my webmail on my gnome desktop [18:53] bluefoxx: err, ok, but do you know what "cached" means in that context and if/why/how you need more? :) [18:53] yea [18:54] The ubuntu installation that is on the server now is bugged, and I was wondering if there was any chance of making a "fresh" install over the internet, since the server is 15kilometers away from me. [18:54] Redhammer_the_A_ i dont think i can recieve private messages [18:54] !dualboot [18:54] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [18:54] kaboombob what irc are you using [18:54] _moro_bana_: one more thing, just to be sure about where we are: type mount , and paste that [18:54] nephex there is a chance maybe to fix it. You normally do not reinstall linux...you fix it [18:54] what version of ubuntu are you using [18:54] LjL: for me i equate cached memory to redieing an action, as if i were playing DND >.> [18:54] have you tried plugging the player in and using amarok to connect to it ? [18:54] bluefoxx: 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] 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 down [18:55] 7.10 i think [18:55] bluefoxx: i don't know what you're talking about. in that context, "cached" memory means memory used as a file cache. [18:55] SANTAbios: Right click on the desktop and select "Create Launcher". Change the type to "link" and enter the URL. [18:55] xchat [18:55] aarrggh, ati drivers eat children :( [18:55] jgalvin: only bad children [18:55] then why won't they work for me? :D [18:55] bascally i have some process in 'zombie' state taking up 1.2 GB of my RAM, and i am lagging on the desktop, and i dont wish to reboot as it will destroy my uptime [18:55] jgalvin: you been bad this year already !? [18:56] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51237/ [18:56] nickrud: I'm just trying to get dual monitors set up :( I didn't know it was that bad :\ [18:56] bluefoxx: what does top say? [18:56] Anyone know if there's a usb bootable image for ubuntu for a thumbdrive? [18:56] jgalvin: oh, that task eats everyone ;) [18:56] [GNOME, Ubuntu 7.10] Pressing System > Quit > Suspend will call what program? [18:56] bluefoxx: and "kill -s 9 " won't work, i assume? [18:56] i know its not my CPU overheating as i have good cooling for it and just replaced the heatsink compound [18:57] jgalvin: I thought that was kittens- http://www.kernel.org/doc/ols/2006/ols2006v1-pages-19-26.pdf [18:57] So there are no ways of fixing it then? === b0nn_ is now known as b0nn [18:57] _moro_bana_: ok, I got all the info I need. I'm going to edit a couple of things you gave me, then I'll walk you though making the changes [18:57] stroyan: hahah [18:57] Seems there's nothing special about the vista filesystem. Should work as well as it did for XP. [18:57] LjL: no, it tells me 'process not there' or something like that [18:57] Redhammer_the_A_ xchat [18:58] bluefoxx: *what* exactly? [18:58] maybe I'll go see if the IT guys will trade me a nvidia card for this ati card >_> [18:58] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: ok [18:58] xfce xkb layout does not work for some reason - is there a way to turn off gnome layout switcher and go with xorg option instead? [18:58] or try the following command: [18:58] jgalvin: yeah a cheap nvidia is better than a new ati imo for linux [18:58] !paste [18:58] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [18:58] I need some help - Gnome session on Ubuntu 7.10 won't start - I get a tan background with a white cursor and nothing loads [18:58] bluefoxx http://www.linuxsa.org.au/tips/zombies.html zombies don't hurt anything [18:59] !wine [18:59] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [18:59] is 6.1 safe to run? [18:59] all i have is 6.1 [18:59] grekkos: Was it working before now? [18:59] grekkos: try alt-ctrl-f2 then login then sudo adduser after that is done sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart and see if new user can login. if they can its just a profile issue and rm'ing some .config files should fix [18:59] anyone? [19:00] Redhammer_the_A_ i didnt see the command [19:00] SANTAbios: If you mean Dapper.. yes. it works just fine [19:00] Jack_Sparrow: yeah i changed some of the compiz settings through the appearance->effects dialog and now nothing loads up [19:00] Did Ubuntu rename the apache module: proxy-html to proxy-http ? [19:00] LjL: 'sh_' [19:00] pike_: so try loggin in as root, for example? [19:01] grekkos: well if you have that setup. i dont typically run x as root [19:01] xsession i mean [19:01] grekkos: If you can get to cli reset your compiz settings to default compiz --replace cpp & [19:01] it wont die <.< [19:01] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51240/ I have this in xorg and it used to work [19:01] not anymore for some reason looks like gnome took over [19:02] flush: eh? the "kill -s 9 processnumber" command, what does it say? i don't think it says sh_... [19:02] Oh wait I think i fixed it... I removed compiz completely and rebooted and that worked for some reason [19:03] ive tried the 'kill' and 'killall' stuff [19:03] how do i restart from the console? [19:03] Volkodav: Is that all of it or just the keyboard section for us and ur [19:03] ru [19:03] I have an internet-less system, which was installed on another monitor. the vga mode during bootup (framebuffer I guess) doesn't work for the monitor it's currently used, but I can't figure out how to change it. where is this controlled? I guess perhaps a grub setting somewhere? [19:03] SANTAbios: i think its an argument to halt [19:03] whats the command [19:03] Gnome is frozen [19:03] SANTAbios: reboot [19:04] SANTAbios shutdown -r now [19:04] _moro_bana_: you still here :) [19:04] oh but now i have no window decorations [19:04] lol [19:04] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: yes [19:04] keyboard [19:04] weird shit [19:04] grekkos: try 'metacity --replace' or if you use compiz 'compiz --replace' [19:05] _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 partition [19:05] ok 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] bluefoxx: just metacity without the replace worked fine haha-- how can I add it back into my startup? [19:05] that fixed it for me when i upgraded and lost windo borders [19:05] bluefoxx: just add it to the startup tab in sessions? [19:05] i have a question about my panasonic media player it says i cant mount it it works in windows tho [19:05] _moro_bana_: make a backup of /boot/grub/menu.lst on the original partition, then replace it with http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51242/ [19:06] Volkodav: 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 way [19:06] grekkos: i think so, but should still work without doing that[it has for me] [19:06] bluefoxx: oh maybe when i run metacity it will automatically set the configuration for me? [19:06] I always use xkb editing xorg [19:06] SANTAbios what is ununut? [19:06] is ubuntu or centos used more often for server lamp installations [19:06] and it worked perfect - not in ubuntu for some reason [19:06] kaboombob: When you plugged it into windows did it just work, or did it need a driver or need to connect to the internet to get a driver? [19:07] [GNOME, Ubuntu 7.10] Pressing System > Quit > Suspend will call what program? [19:07] grekkos: i think so [19:07] Volkodav: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg should let you fix it. [19:08] um, I was just today introduced to PPAs [19:08] that stuff rocks [19:08] <_> hi [19:08] blackjax: You wont get an unbiased answer in here.. This is the support room for people already using Ubuntu [19:08] anyone know if theres a tutorial on enabling hibernation and suspend modes to work properly? hibernate just shuts everything off and leaves the computer running until i hit the reset button [19:08] bluefoxx: it didn't work... and when i used metacity & in a terminal and closed it metacity closed also... [19:09] anyone know why alt+shift doesn't work? i have found out that pressing right alt + left alt does change the language, is this configurable somewhere? [19:09] question: How can i turn off package-update-checking for a specific package (custom ffmpeg, keeps getting overwritten.) [19:09] grekkos: then add it to startup options, and search it on the forums, probally documentation on a fix there [19:10] opus keystrokes can be defined in the file Xmodmap in your home directory. There are some tutorials on the web about Xmodmap [19:10] cyanics: install yours, then in synaptic, mark it as 'force version' [19:10] thanks.

[19:18] no i was trying to install Pro-FTPD server via Webmin which hung and somehow lost package list [19:18] <_moro_bana_> nickrud; i backed up [19:18] _moro_bana_: you need admin privileges, use gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [19:19] !compiz [19:19] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [19:19] Scampi: sadly webmin isnt really supported anymore [19:19] _moro_bana_: after you save it, paste it again.

I know a lot of data was written to it, but it was removed from it's slot before the unmount completed (some r/w was apparently still in process). [19:21] VoksD, you can try fscking the filesystem. - may be safer to dd the stick to a file, then try to fsck the file by mounting it. [19:21] Thanks, I'll try that. [19:21] Hmm.. how do you fsck a loopback'd filesystem in a file.. [19:21] Ive heard of it being done.. just not sure how. :) [19:21] How do I turn off the snap to edges feature (or whatever it's called) for the windows on my desktop?

[19:34] does somebdy know how to get vim make syntaxhighlightening? [19:34] DRebellion, or even just initially [19:35] crolle17: sudo apt-get install vim [19:35] pike_, ;) i did. [19:35] crolle17: do it again! [19:35] crolle17: I think you need vim-full [19:35] neverblue: places > connect to server it has a box labelled 'user name' [19:35] oh do that instead :) [19:35] how do you add an icon to the emblem list? [19:35] hi folks. i successfully isntalled ubuntu 7.10 on my hp dv6000 notebook today and i am having troubles with some of my devices. i have found a walkthrough to get the wireless adaptor working at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_%28ndiswrapper%29?action=show, however i am stuck on step 6. my wireless card is supposed to be recognized as wlan0, but it is currently listed as eth1, which is preventing ndis [19:36] DRebellion, so I have to initialize a new share then, not just work with a currently set share ? [19:36] install a linux distro DRebellion is what i need to do. im trying to use gparted but i didnt know if there was a better prog [19:36] Dr_willis: Of the ones that really did get written, only a few seem to have ended up as garbage, but.. I'm just glad I could salvage anything at all ;oP [19:36] anyone know why pthreads was removed? I can't find it anywhere in apt [19:36] remove the line from /etc/iftab that it asks me to [19:36] scusate l italiano? [19:36] !it | arturo [19:36] !it | arturo [19:36] arturo: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [19:36] jshriver_: should be part of libc [19:36] hrm [19:36] idefix_: /usr/share/icons/gnome/*/emblems [19:36] was weird did an apt-cache search pthread found libpthread20 did and update and it was gone [19:37] Pici, even with package vim-full no syntaxhighlightning. [19:37] crolle17: try making a file called test.c and see if highlighting is turned on [19:37] hi! is it safer to have a partitions UUID in fstab instead of e.g. /dev/sda1? or why is the UUID used by default ? [19:37] jshriver_: root@ubuntu:~# dpkg -S /lib/libpthread-2.6.1.so [19:37] libc6: /lib/libpthread-2.6.1.so [19:38] !UUID [19:38] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [19:38] mEck0: uuid really helps with removeable devices or when you move drives around [19:38] my icon is 128x128 pixels, there's no such format [19:38] DRebellion [19:38] [GNOME, Ubuntu 7.10] Pressing System > Quit > Suspend will call what program? [19:39] mEck0 |!UUID [19:39] hey [19:39] Afternoon everyone [19:39] ive got a problem [19:39] hi, does anyone know how to connect to the internet using ubuntu, i'm currently using a ethernet cable connection but its still not working [19:39] UUIDs are annoying as hell for normal devices, though [19:39] DRebellion, i did. and i wrote a simple for-loop to see if there would be syntax-highlightening. and no there i no syntaxhigh. [19:39] Jack_Sparrow, aha, okey. Is it otherwise possible that a partition got another name (e.g. /dev/sda2 instead of /dev/sda1) if not using UUID? [19:40] yokobr how can we help [19:40] Anyone here know anything about ACPI? I get a couple of error messages when I run "dmesg | grep acpi" [19:40] graft: Thankfully, you only need to set them once, or when you modify a partition [19:40] crolle17, DRebellion is gone I think [19:40] zhegao: Read the Forum with the catchword 'networking' first. [19:40] where is that at? [19:40] is there a programm... like i'm setting a date and time and a window will popup at that time reminding me someting...? [19:40] idefix_, mmh... maybe you can help me? [19:40] mEck0: YEs, there were a few of those problems as well... [19:40] i have an asus m2n4-sli, with geforce 7600gs. I cant install ubuntu, because of acpi problems. [19:41] Jack_Sparrow, ok, thx! [19:41] mEck0: There was also a problem when people mixed ide and sata drives [19:41] crolle17, you have a problem with syntaxhighlightning [19:41] idefix_, yes [19:41] Ive tryed everything, like noapic nolapic acpi=off, acpi=noirq, irqpoll [19:41] Jack_Sparrow: yeah, but when i want to go back and see what the fstab settings for /dev/hda2 are, it's a pain in the ass [19:41] yokobr | !find acpi [19:41] =/ [19:41] crolle17, that's like in the X-window? I don't know much about the subjec5t [19:41] !ohmy > graft [19:42] i can even boot, but my screen gets weird [19:42] yokobr: You may need the alternate cd.. [19:42] idefix_, o.k. [19:42] hey ho!!! everytime i startup ubuntu, this nm-applet wants the key for my keyring [19:42] how do I avoid that? [19:42] ive tryed the alternate. [19:42] !acpi [19:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about acpi - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:42] Hey guys, I need to get fan speed control working on my thinkpad r60e [19:42] on the alternate cd, it says that cant mout my cd [19:42] * nickrud drums his fingers [19:42] !find acpi [19:43] Found: acpi, acpi-support, acpid, acpidump, acpitool (and 4 others) [19:43] yokobr: Alternate got you through the install but you could not get in after rebooting? [19:43] DRebellion, did i lose you ? [19:43] hi all [19:43] http://www.ashlar-online.com/blog/music/Coffee-DenisLeary.mp3 [19:43] garbleeee: Please dont, this is a support channel. [19:43] nope, i cant even make it install. I says that it cannot mount my cd. [19:43] yokobr: Are you trying a regular install or some sort of vm or wubi etc? [19:43] on alternate. [19:43] is there a programm... like i'm setting a date and time and a window will popup at that time reminding me someting...? [19:43] hey guys i'm having a problem with ubuntu and my wireless card. currently there is a line in a file somewhere assigning the name wlan0 to a MAC identifier that i need to remove, but it's not where it's described to be '/etc/iftab' can anyone tell me where i can find this file? [19:44] i can install xubuntu, but not my ubuntu and ubuntu studio cds. [19:44] idefix_, DRebellion doing :syntax on helps... [19:45] yokobr: But that did not answer my question [19:45] crolle17? I used ultraedit in the past it had syntax highlighting [19:45] yokobr: With the alternate CD, install the "server" (no GUI), then afterwards, install whatever GUI system you want [19:45] im on a regular install [19:45] it was a really cool program [19:45] crolle17: emacs isn't brokein [19:45] yokobr: Where do you get the error can't mount? [19:45] I get an error cannot be mounted 17 [19:46] but in linux you have cool editors already, no use paying for software such as ultraedit [19:46] nickrud, who talks about emacs? [19:46] allthough ultraedit was very cool [19:46] cal-mac: check /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [19:46] Well, after it gets my keyboard type. [19:46] GUYS? does ultraedit exist in ubuntu? [19:46] Anyone know how to fix error 17 cannot be mounted [19:46] hello there anyone know why web browser(firefox...) crash with flash animation? [19:46] idefix_, when i code i use eclipse ;) [19:46] crolle17: nm me, just a joke [19:46] !error 17 [19:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about error 17 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:46] crolle17, do you have a cool screenshot? [19:46] hmm [19:46] idefix_, about what? me? [19:47] crolle17 that'd be cool too, but I actually meant eclipse.. [19:47] idefix_: i prefer to use vim for my editing :) it's a very powerful editor if you know how to use it [19:47] hello [19:47] idefix_, i can make. [19:47] is there any way to 'undo' the changes made by an installation ? [19:47] k bye [19:47] vim, that's the masochistic editor, I remember some companies use it [19:47] EvaLuaTe, undo what exactly? [19:47] idefix_, why you're asking? === RULER_ is now known as Catsceo [19:48] !offtopic | idefix_ crolle17 [19:48] idefix_ crolle17: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [19:48] idefix_, mmh. it's not masochistic, trust me. [19:48] well, i can install if i use my xubuntu cd =) [19:48] at my traineeship company my supervisor always used UltraEdit [19:48] but i just wanted ubuntu studio. [19:48] I need help I get an error 17 cannot be mounted [19:48] Dr_willis, i tried to install vhcs and it uninstalled some programs and installed some others instead and i would like to undo that, any idea please ? [19:49] Pici, we're talking abut vim, eclipse or even emacs. that is linux- software. [19:49] the emblems ubuntu choses from are they in all formats in /usr/share/icons/gnome/*/emblems ? [19:49] EvaLuaTe, you can always try to just reinstall the ones it removed. [19:49] !virus [19:49] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [19:49] idefix_: thats what i got from a quick locate [19:49] I have my two monitors working properly - login on one, blank on the other with proper color and resolution on the other, with mouse moving between them - with the ATI drivers, but when I go to log in, it hangs for a few seconds and returns to the login screen. Anyone know why? [19:49] crolle17: That is not an Ubuntu support question. #ubuntu is not for just random linux chatter, only support questions. Feel free to discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic however. [19:49] Dr_willis, is there any way i can view recent changes made to my system ? [19:49] Pici, sorry. [19:49] s/just// [19:50] good afternoon!

[19:57] _moro_bana_: still here, by the way [19:57] I need to mount the harddisk [19:57] Why does the unixodbc package require x11-common? [19:57] danielito: There is none. [19:57] tramp: thank you, i found the file. it lists my wireless card and is described as eth1. i commented out the line and repeated the steps but the wireless device is still listed as eth1. any suggestions? [19:57] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: yeh im here [19:57] danielito: sudo -s or sudo -i for root term [19:57] Pici: so there is now way to get root? [19:58] danielito: see pike_ [19:58] !root [19:58] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [19:58] well I am going to boot into windows I have to work on it [19:58] thank you angain Pici. goodbye to all [19:58] pike_: nice one, thats so much!!! [19:58] * pike_ bows with a flourish [19:58] danielito: when installing from the live cd you don't need root access. just click install and follow the prompts. [19:59] hey DRebellion, I found a folder scalable ツ [19:59] thanks pici [19:59] Scunizi: He may be trying to repir something not doing the install [20:00] Jack_Sparrow: ah.. true. even so, I don't remember seeing a root password anywhere on the live cd.. does it do root by default? [20:00] you can jump to the console on the live cd and set a root password if you want. [20:00] Scunizi: Same as ubuntu just use sudo or gksudo [20:00] but by default i didnt hink it needed one. [20:00] okay my friends. so is there a solution for the latest version of ubuntu (gecko or something?) to avoid my system to everytime ask me for the keyring password when automatically connecting to the wireless network on startup? I am using automatic-login in gdm. the system is for my father who has no experience in entering hidden passwords :) [20:00] Jack_Sparrow: yes but will it ask for the sudo password? if so what is it? [20:01] my system clock keeps drifiting [20:01] Am I the only one that crashes firefox when I close a flash video window? [20:01] Scunizi, hit enter? [20:01] :) [20:01] Dr_willis: probably.. inquiring minds what to know! [20:01] _moro_bana_: do sudo umount /dev/sdb6 , it may say it's already unmounted [20:01] my system clock keeps drifiting, how can i tell ubuntu to use the hardware/bios clock? [20:01] shbla99, how old is the computer? [20:01] *want [20:01] Scunizi, i dont think there is one.. for sudo wanting a password. you just hit enter. [20:01] xTheGoat121x: brand new build. [20:02] xTheGoat121x: 2 months [20:02] Scunizi, the default user has no password. so the sudo default password is also blank. (i think) [20:02] Dr_willis: that would make sense on the live cd.. kk. :) [20:02] bbl [20:02] Scunizi, :) yes it does [20:02] shbla99, and you're sure that it's not the BIOS clock itself? [20:03] cal-mac: you removed the line and rebooted? [20:03] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: it said nothing , [20:03] xTheGoat121x: hwclock says the right time [20:03] _moro_bana_: ok, now run sudo fsck /dev/sda [20:03] bots on the job [20:04] Hey guys i'm trying to install ubuntu onto my desktop and everything is going fine until it starts setting up. My monitor goes black and doesnt want to display anything... but the cd is running fine cause I can hear it... any suggestions on how to get the monitor to work while installing? [20:04] <_sojourner> is the ubuntu forums site down I can't reach it ? I get some wierd message from comcast , my isp [20:04] _moro_bana_: argh, the bot confused me, sudo fsck /dev/sdb6 [20:04] I can't get my webcam detected! [20:04] shbla99, hmmm my immediate thought there would have been HW problems... I've never heard of an OS clock floating. [20:04] don't seem to be have all the variables for eth1/inet. failed to bring up eth1. - what this mean? i think i have good /etc/network/interfaces file === chronosx is now known as zzz_at_fareast [20:05] Hello! Is there any possible way i can remove the Left, Right and Bottom boarder around my terminal? [20:05] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: aha i noticed, im its checking [20:05] tramp: no, i didn't reboot.. i did however just look in the restricted drivers manager and the broadcom driver was listed in there!! now it is asking me to select the driver.. i assume i am supposed to pick something from the ndiswrapper folder right? [20:05] how can I mount my /dev/video0 or how can I can have gutsy detect my webcam? [20:06] kinpumpking: mount /dev/video0 /location/? [20:06] billenium: eviction notices? [20:06] cal-mac: Sorry, I have no experience with ndiswrapper at all. [20:06] huh? [20:06] xTheGoat121x: is there a way to tell ubuntu to use the system/hardware clock? [20:06] graft: what? [20:07] lol graft [20:07] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: its force checking ,it said it contains a file system with errors [20:07] shbla99, not that I'm aware of, I would imagine it would automatically do that but it might not be able to. Instead, why not synchronize it to an internet time server? [20:07] meh worth a shot i guess... [20:08] billenium, it says it can't locate it under etc/something like that [20:08] _moro_bana_: ok, I hope this takes care of it. The files are right [20:08] billenium, I guess it didn't detect it at all, which is what I really want :p [20:08] how can i find the file for xsession? [20:08] I guess so [20:08] .xsession [20:09] visof: if it doesn't exist, you'd make it. To see it in the filemanager, ctl-h to show hidden files (files that start with a period are hidden) [20:09] xTheGoat121x: for some reason, the ntp server stops running [20:09] can you ssh onto an ubuntu livecd [20:09] shbla99, wow.... that's... really odd [20:10] blackjax: i don't think the livecd contains sshd [20:10] DRebellion➲ probably right there. since that opens a port [20:10] do you know if knoppix does [20:11] Hi. I thought intel released source code for their drivers,but restricted manager tells me it's proprietry... [20:11] blackjax➲ you can make your own live cd [20:11] It's a 3945 intel [20:11] pro wireless [20:11] steveire im having the same trouble [20:11] the wireless option doesn't show in the network settings does it? [20:12] steveire: it probably has a firmware blob, that isn't open source [20:12] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: the illegal nodes so i clear them [20:12] _moro_bana_: ok, hope for the best [20:12] how do i change my window manager? [20:12] nalioth: find a broker [20:12] anthis: I'm using kubuntu really. I do get a wireless option, but it won't connect to my network atm for some reason [20:13] nalioth: compliant ones should respect the --replace option :) [20:13] nalioth, at the gdm login screen theres a menu to pick from the isntalled windopw managers.. unless you want to ask a more specific Q. [20:13] steveire: did you have to do anything for it to show up? or did it just automatically detect it? [20:13] Dr_willis: i want to replace GDM with entrance, not gnome for kde [20:13] Dr_willis: those are desktop environments, not window managers [20:14] nalioth: that's a LOGIN manager, not a window manager! [20:14] nalioth, install entrance, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm, (actually itshould do that automaticially) [20:14] * Dr_willis hates entrance. [20:14] Hi... does anyone know how to sync a Samsung F700 with evolution? [20:14] is entrance in the repository? [20:15] graft, ive seen it in the gOS or geubuntu repos.. not sure about the standard ones [20:15] graft: i don't think so, i'm running a super unstable version of enlightenment [20:15] does entrance do multiple sessions for gnome or KDE? === u^A is now known as u^A_ [20:16] Dr_willis: any other ideas? entrance is installed but not showing up in the dpkg-reconfigure session === Pricey is now known as PriceChild [20:16] how can i get cron/crontab to not log to syslog? [20:16] graft, and the GDM.KDM/whatever menus can have just 'window managers' listed in them (sawfish, icewm, wmx and so on) .. or they can have the whole desktop. (kde/gnome/xfce), r [20:16] graft: join #e to ask about enlightenment/entrance === paco is now known as paql [20:16] nalioth: how did you install entrance ? If it's not a deb package using debconf , it won't respond to dpkg-reconfigure [20:16] nalioth, nope. - Ijust installed the gOS-desktop and it handled all that. [20:17] nickrud: i'm not sure where to look for --replace [20:17] nalioth: that was for a window manager, like metacity [20:17] I put a png in the dir but I cannot change the emblem of my icon, why is that? [20:17] is it just me, or is the PS3 Ubuntu 7.10 installer very, very slow? [20:17] im getting md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz when trying to install flashplugin-nonfree. [20:18] mindframe-: run your install again [20:18] nalioth: try setting /etc/X11/default-display-manager [20:18] peppo, linux has not been optimized for the PS3 cell processor's [20:18] does ubuntu only pic icon-emblems from the scalable dir? then why are the other dirs there? [20:18] nickrud: ah, thanks much [20:18] nalioth, i've remove --purge'd several times and it gives the same one every time [20:19] mindframe-: then find the deb itself from packages.ubuntu.com and install it with gdebi [20:19] hey I plugged in a usb external hard drive before I left home and tried to access it (I use it through freenx) and nothing showed up. dmesg output is odd... too long here's the pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51253/ any ideas? [20:19] mindframe- - you may want to look at the channel topic [20:19] jughead, ntfs filesystem? [20:19] hehe [20:20] BRB [20:20] You can manually install Flash eaisly though... download the tar.gz from Adobe and put the .so file in ~/.mozilla/plugins [20:20] yeah i just wanted to have it in the package list [20:20] i usually do install it manually [20:20] Dr_willis, not sure; it's a WD Passport that worked with my linux laptop; it's a WD Passport 160 gig it might be ntfs [20:20] the discussion urlk given in the bot/topic has links to deb's that work also. [20:21] mindframe- - once they fix it just delete the .so and install it from the repos [20:21] yeah ;) [20:21] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: im done with fsck [20:21] _moro_bana_: try the reboot then.

My ubuntu servers are apparently not obeying the post-up lines I added to /etc/network/interfaces to change the mode to 10baseT-FD. When I run mii-tool from the shell, though, it works. Any ideas? [20:23] hi all. i burnt myubuntu CD as a data disk + it doesnt load at start up [20:23] can 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 :s [20:23] now wot? [20:23] is performing nightly backups of one hard drive to another, on linux, an easily feasible task [20:23] blackjax, very feasible [20:23] rsync in a cron job is one way. [20:24] i'm talking a literaly copy though, so that if one hdd failed, i could boot off the other [20:24] hey all [20:24] i can't setup raid 1 [20:24] blackjax, dd can do exact copies.. [20:24] 66666666666 [20:24] thanks, Dr_willis [20:24] last Q [20:25] geminidomino: have you tried running ifup with the --verbose option? [20:25] if hd1 fails, and hd2 is my exact copy. how would you go about saying "now load off of hd2" haha [20:25] blackjax, you could set up a grub entry to boot either one . [20:25] gosh is any [20:25] not [20:25] any1 2 help me [20:25] Tramp: I'll try that. [20:25] grub is bios-side? [20:26] so that if hd1 fails it's okie dokes [20:26] what is it safiyyah? [20:26] blackjax, I think ya got some reading up to do on linux basics. :) and grub. [20:26] Safiyyah: you have to burn it as an iso, that's a coaster you have (except maybe for reference) [20:26] okie [20:26] thanks Dr_willis [20:26] kxbx> i downloaded the VCD and DVD version too [20:26] Tramp: Will --force be safe if I use -n? or does --force override -n? [20:26] blackjax, you could always just tell the bios to boot the other hd. [20:26] hi everyone.. can someone help me? I'm quite new to Linux. [20:26] blackjax, or remove the bad. and swap cables [20:26] kxb> I wanted to install the DVD version but anyway [20:26] true, thanks again Dr_willis [20:26] i appreciate your help [20:26] I cant get the VCD to work [20:27] at all [20:27] geminidomino: no idea. I'd expect force to take precedence - but the manpage doesn't tell [20:27] I just burnt it as a data disk [20:27] hello [20:27] hm... it says it's running it... [20:27] i am new is anyone that can help me? [20:27] mmm [20:28] FCS [20:28] This is nuts... [20:28] Safiyyah: 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 job [20:28] kbx> I tried doing it as a burnt image but that actually didnt go on the disk it went on the HDD [20:28] Do ATI drivers work okay with Ubuntu? [20:28] Hey. 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 up [20:28] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: it did not show on the grub menu [20:28] Webspot: Is this on an intel on-board audio by any chance? [20:28] hey 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] geminidomino: Yes, I believe it is [20:29] _moro_bana_: the Drive 2 stuff we added didn't show? [20:29] Webspot: Had the same problem... trying to remember the fix... Involved switching the input channels in the sound applet I beleive [20:29] 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] renting a dedicated server VS renting a dedicated line for a server at home [20:29] 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] 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] geminidomino: I'll have a look around there. Thanks. [20:29] are PCMCIA cards plug and play for ubuntu? [20:29] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: aha only the one im using and the xp [20:30] dreitech: if the kernel supports the device, yes [20:30] running kubuntu 7.10 cant get cds or dvds to read anyone know a fix? [20:30] is there a way to kill a process and store its data in a buffer and then relaunch the application in its prior state [20:30] gyah... every server... *facepalms* what a pain [20:30] _moro_bana_: ok, then somewhere the right changes didn't get written to the right place. mount , and paste the output [20:31] Hey, im buying an ATI graphics card, and i want to know if there will be any problems with the driver if i have Ubuntu? [20:31] billenium, it's possible [20:31] itch_: 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: ok [20:31] dreitech: i'd prefer being asked about PMs before receiving them [20:31] jughead: erm, thanks? [20:32] i 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] billenium, i would not buy ati - if you want best linyux sypport [20:32] dreitech: you can know if the card is supported by looking online at what devices/chipsets the Linux kernel supports [20:32] geminidomino: Nah. Nothing in the sound applet, that seems to fix it. [20:32] dreitech: if it's a wireless card with a Broadcom chipset, good luck. [20:32] mneptok: sorry, I'm new here and to Ubuntu. Thanks. [20:32] dreitech: no problem [20:32] hello [20:33] Tramp, i just can`t connect to the router. It hangs at "Waiting for IP". [20:33] how can i aplu an alsa patc?

[20:34] blackjax: RAID is useless in the event of physical catastrophe [20:34] _moro_bana_: you're in the second partition, see the first line there :) [20:34] but a nightly rsync would be better? [20:34] i <3 off-site storage [20:34] oh no no [20:34] i mean rsync from one hd to another in the same box [20:34] blackjax: to an external drive locked in a fireproof safe? you bet.

[20:35] Rufus: try an eggdrop channel [20:35] Rufus: that's more than a bit package-specific, you should try #eggdrop [20:35] alsa patch in compiling alsa? anyone knows? [20:35] _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 partitions [20:35] Rufus: that's not an OS error. it's an eggdrop configuration problem. [20:35] Rufus, could be the port is in use. [20:35] itch_: no, in the 2nd line, after "Access Point" - does it show a MAC? [20:36] Webspot: This is what I used: http://hublog.hubmed.org/archives/001422.html [20:36] geminidomino: Thanks. I'll take a look [20:36] is it trying to connect to the server or my computer? [20:36] mneptok: do you reckon d-link cards are supported? [20:36] hi [20:36] Rufus: try an eggdrop channel, please [20:36] Any other ideas on mii-tool not working as a post-up?

[20:38] mneptok, I'm totally forgot the model but I'm referring to a pci wireless card for an old laptop. [20:38] mneptok: i just started asking five minutes ago and there is noone in that irc [20:38] itch_: having both wired and wireless at the same time in the same subnet is troublesome for the routing anyways and hard to debug. [20:39] dreitech: your question is basically "i want to drive 300mph." "you should see if your car supports that." "it's an Oldsmobile." [20:39] mneptok who are you and why are you being a pain [20:39] dreitech: "it's a d-link." is nowehere near enough information to help you. [20:39] thor: i do agree [20:39] Tramp, there are 2 different internet connetions. Not on the same subnet. [20:39] flipmode: there are a ton of people in #kubuntu [20:40] the CHIPSET of a card is more imporntant then the brand/company [20:40] hi! [20:40] flipmode: which you now know, as you just /join'ed :) [20:40] itch_: well, then probably the default-GW switches, for some reason, to the not working wireless - but that would imply that dhcp works. [20:40] is any1 going to help me with this CD problem or what? [20:40] ive 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 :) [20:41] EvaLuaTe, sudo less /var/log/dpkg.log [20:41] when see other wlan networks in ubuntu, can i be sure wlan works on this laptop with ubuntu?? [20:41] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: done , then reboot ? [20:41] Dr_willis: it's OK. you can say "d-Link" ;) [20:41] _moro_bana_: yes [20:41] Tramp, i don`t require to use the bouth connections as the same time. [20:41] can 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 :s [20:41] Safiyyah well I just got here and don't know what your problem is, but if you keep that attitude...no [20:41] mneptok: 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] mnemo, actually this was a Linksys card In my case.. [20:42] dreitech: is this a card you're thinking about buying?

[20:45] I'm trying to compile the DRI drivers for an Ati card and I got to step 1.7 on http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Building but I just don't understand what it's telling me to do.

[20:45] mneptok: nao falo bem de portugues.. eu estou aqui um ano tres mes porque eu estudou em swazilandia.. muito obrigado [20:45] dreitech: you could also take an Ubuntu LiveCD to the store, and ask to test the card using a live session [20:45] gemini i apologise..... i was watching the screen for a while saw no responses and finally rebooted to try a few other options [20:46] Safiyyah: What burning software are you using? [20:46] dreitech: really? wow, i have a very good friend from Swaziland. and i don't speak Portugese well, either. :) === Agrajag_ is now known as Agrajag [20:46] haha [20:46] Safiyyah: 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 job [20:46] mneptok: I tried telling them that but they really have bad service..

Do you intend on running bayes filters on the email? Etc... [20:49] itch_: well, as I said "not associated" - so your WPA does not work at all [20:49] Hi, can anyone point me to a document detailing the installation of Ubuntu on an external USB drive and being able to boot from a macbook pro [20:49] !usb | leppards [20:49] leppards: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [20:49] mneptok: thanks a lot.

[20:50] ubotu: would this also be applicable to a USB drive instead of a stick. [20:50] Tramp, i`m using wicd network manager.

[20:56] fallore http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51258/ make a backup of your file before using this one! [20:56] itch_: well - the mode is most probably PSK. Just enter key and essid wherever your GUI wants them [20:57] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: ofcoz dont change your nick please, u a developer [20:57] i'm sorry th0r but i have no idea how to 1. use that 2. make a backup of whatever it replaces :-// [20:57] Could anyone help me in deleting fonts, created by root-user?! [20:58] _moro_bana_: not even close to being a developer. That takes work, this is simple fun. I've been using linux for a while now and try to help out as I was helped when I was strarting [20:58] mneptok: pm? === RyanPrior is now known as PirateHead [20:59] dreitech, he is gone away [20:59] nickrud: i think that attitude is what makes ubuntu and this community so great. ever since i discovered this channel, even though i know nearly nothing, i've been sitting in it trying to help and learn :D [20:59] fallore 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] ompaul: ok. [20:59] i am asking again after 5 min, I Using Ubuntu Hardy, In GUI, my network manager need to be unlocked, How to unlock, i am new. [20:59] Could anyone help me in deleting fonts that created by root-user?! [20:59] thanks th0r! [21:00] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: i love that, i ve been using linux for almost a year now, i love it, its fun, now wanna know the system very well [21:00] nickrud, I am gonna do the DVD now... ran out of 700MB disks, will try again in a few hours when I restock only have 650MB disks now [21:00] fallore: absolutely. I installed warty on a lark cuz I used debian, opend xchat and got dumped here. Got sucked in immediately. Much more fun than helping on mail lists and debian's channel was too abusive. But enough off topic [21:01] how do i list all files in a directory and get the date they were created (not modified)? [21:01] Safiyyah: ok, see you [21:01] th0r: it wont let me save the file, said something about insufficient permission [21:02] nickrud, 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 this [21:02] arooni-mobile: the creation date is not stored. [21:02] fallore you need to use 'sudo' to edit system files. [21:02] Tramp, is there any way to change that [21:02] i was just opening it with gedit, should i sudo gedit it from terminal then? [21:03] fallore open a terminal and type 'gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' [21:03] arooni-mobile: change what? Storage of creation date? No. [21:03] anybody got xkb layout working in xfce? [21:03] th0r: just for education's sake, what does the gk part do/mean? [21:03] nickrud, downloading image burn [21:03] fallore or does ubuntu use gnomesu? the gksu is a gui frontend to su....opens a nice little window for the passwd [21:04] gksudo? [21:04] hello I have a problem with my graphic drivers the change to vesa generic from my i810 inte graphics drivers and it changes my languge settings to and it makes it inpossible to run blender and games [21:04] th0r: i dont know, whenever i do sudo it asks for the password before doing whatever it is supposed to do in the terminal [21:04] th0r: you can change what gksu uses with gksu-properties, but it defaults to sudo backend [21:04] Starnestommy 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 [21:04] Tramp, ok, I`ve got it. Had to set the wpa supplicant to wext :) Thanks for the help man. [21:05] is there some easier way to configure exim4 other than its stupid config files? === ward__ is now known as Ward1983 [21:05] fallore right....entering that password gives you system access [21:05] I added an unsupported program which name was "Ubuntu restricted extras" - It was install some fonts I really hate them! How could I delete these fonts?! [21:05] graft: Write a python script that automates it. [21:05] !gksudo | fallore [21:05] fallore: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [21:05] itch__: glad you got it working. So dhcp is now fine as well? [21:05] Help help help! [21:05] Hi, any help would be appreciated with pointers for installing linux on an external USB drive and booting on a macbook pro. [21:05] PirateHead: uh... what would that python script do? [21:05] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: see you around ,gonna read for my exam [21:05] thanks nickrud [21:05] how do i mount a device so that a non-root user can read/write to it? what's that mount option? [21:05] _moro_bana_: probably :) [21:05] graft: It would write a configuration file based on input from a GUI, probably. [21:06] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: u come here often [21:06] PirateHead: so, in other words, i would have to not only do the work of understanding exim4 config, but create a python script to autogenerate it? [21:06] ndiswrapper.ko was not installed or downloaded for ndiswrapper 1.43. how do i find/generate this file so i can use "modprobe ndiswrapper"? [21:06] _moro_bana_: more often than is good for me right now, but it comes in waves. I was away for a year a while ago [21:07] bense: mount -o rw, plus make sure that they have the appropriate permissions [21:07] Tramp, yeah. I`m chating from the WIFI connection right now. The only problem though, I have to restart the apps that are connected to the internet in the moment I switch connection (pidgin, skype, etc.) [21:07] graft: That's assuming that there is no existing exim4 configuration automator already available. [21:07] help with network settings I have a desktop,it uses wireless card to connect to internet..and I have a laptop..which Im connecting to the lan port of the deskop..I set up ip numbers but when I use ping commands with the laptop it says it cant find the ip number of the desktop [21:07] PirateHead: that's what I was asking for! [21:07] graft: you'd be saving other people the work, though. :-) [21:07] !restrictedcodecs === jernster is now known as jme` [21:07] PirateHead: nuts to those people! i want to save ME work [21:07] !restricted-codecs [21:08] sera a tutti [21:08] Hi all [21:08] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: can u see my ip, one guy guased where i am, he said he looked at my ip [21:08] !restricted | wweasel [21:08] itch__: Yeah, well - this is, because your IP changes.

[21:08] thanks for your kindness! I have a problem!!! [21:08] anyone had problems with dbus? [21:08] for some reason it just stopped working today [21:08] _moro_bana_: starts with 80, ends with 18. freenode doesn't hide ips, but you can ask for a cloak I think [21:08] Ahh :( [21:08] Tramp: I know. Well, now I can use my notebook while in the bathroom :D [21:08] How can I setup a proxy server? [21:09] graft: http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/sendeximweb.htm looks like a useful link [21:09] by installing squid [21:09] rather what package should I apt-get? [21:09] itch__: *g* - have fun then. [21:09] graft: I found it by googling "exim4 configuration GUI" [21:09] depends on which protocol you want for the proxy [21:09] hi [21:09] Tramp: Ok man, bye. And thanks again. [21:09] I'm having strange problems with my intel 3945abg. I can see a wireless network, but I can't connect. I'm currently using another wireless laptop, so the router/network is fine...

[21:10] I just need it on a local work machine so another work machine can tunnel through my connection [21:10] define safe :o [21:10] _moro_bana_: I donated money to freenode, so they gave me that fancy thing [21:10] _moro_bana_: May I pm you [21:10] I dont need to be anonymous or anything [21:10] th0r I added an unsupported program which name was "Ubuntu restricted extras" - It was install some fonts I really hate them!

How could I delete these fonts?! [21:10] bahman: aptitude remove [21:10] th0r: I ask this lots of times! [21:11] bahman you should be able to delete the package in the same way you added it, using synaptic, apt-get, dpkg, whatever you used to install [21:11] <_moro_bana_> Jack_Sparrow: hey what are u doing to me [21:11] xshad: there is a reasonable likelyhood that your computer will not suffer catastrophic failure [21:11] _moro_bana_: no, I've met one of the ops for freenode, he twisted my arm :) [21:11] _moro_bana_: Showing you how easy it is to find out [21:11] <_moro_bana_> Jack_Sparrow:tell me how to [21:11] I remove the package, but fonts are now there! [21:11] _moro_bana_: http://www.ip2location.com/free.asp [21:11] xshad: At the same time, dist-upgrade may eat your children. In other words: backups are a good idea. [21:11] _moro_bana_: It will even give you a map [21:12] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: then twist mine [21:12] hi i got problem how can i know if my graphic card is inetalled or no? [21:12] hmmm, seems nice [21:12] =) [21:12] th0r: I really remove the package but fonts are now be there! in the font folder [21:12] bahman if the fonts were installed with that package, they should have been removed with it. Have you logged out and back in to see if they are just cached? [21:12] if for some reason i absolutely had to run a flash player through windows which was either virtualized or emulated in ubuntu, what kind of performance might i expect to get, or what would be the best method to try to do that?

[21:13] Hello [21:13] sarthor >> you have to run the gui as sudo [21:13] dragon67: glxgears [21:13] sarthor, hardy isn't supported just yet in here...it's still beta to my knowledge [21:13] Can we say that the xubuntu is more light that the ubuntu? [21:13] bahman are you using gnome? [21:13] rokra: Yes, the xubuntu is more light than the ubuntu. [21:13] PirateHead: how do i run it [21:13] nickrud: Hope I didnt freak him out... [21:14] th0r: could you tell me how could I delete fonts that installed by root-user?! [21:14] rokra you can you definitely say it uses less RAM [21:14] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: it wants me to enter an ip , which is what i want [21:14] dragon67: You open a terminal, type glxgears, and hit enter. [21:14] asathoor, bluefox83 : i am new, please tell me what to do? shuld i have to reinstall feisty? [21:14] Jack_Sparrow: oh, you want my ip? I live in Los Angeles :) [21:14] _moro_bana_: erm ^^ [21:14] th0r: Yeah, I'm using gnome [21:14] mine is not cloaked [21:14] bahman the fonts should be deleted in exactly the same way they were installed. If that doesn't work I don't know how you would get rid of them. [21:14] sarthor, gutsy [21:14] asathoor, bluefox83 : i am unable to connect to my Wireless.

[21:14] how to move back to gusty?? is there any command?? [21:15] Jack_Sparrow, what is a cloaked machine? sounds like star trek [21:15] white_eagle: Why would you want it to do that? [21:15] bahman in gnome you should be able to change the font that is used...you shouldn't have to delete them...just start using a different one. I am not sure where the config is done...I don't use gnome [21:15] just for fun [21:15] sarthor, i'd suggest a fresh install... [21:15] white_eagle: I'm sure it's possible. Download the Nautilus source code and figure it out. [21:15] Safiyyah: Sorry.. enough offtopic...

That's ok since ube is just a list of packages. [21:17] <_moro_bana_> nickrud: thanks bye [21:17] jenya: That is not the right driver for a bcm943xx [21:17] Fingel you have several options...you can use vnc, do X forwarding through ssh, or use NX [21:17] !vnc | Fingel [21:17] Fingel: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [21:17] th0r: whrer is this setting?! [21:17] bluefox83, Yes i hav usb pen drive. thumd drive is that?? [21:17] sarthor: lol. I live or die by networkmanager I know little to nothing about wireless [21:17] PirateHead: 3678 frames in 5.0 seconds = 731.998 FPS [21:17] piratehead:3678 frames in 5.0 seconds = 731.998 FPS [21:17] bahman I can't say...I don't use gnome === |fsckr| is now known as fsckr [21:17] dragon67: it sounds like your graphics card is probably installed just fine. [21:17] sarthor, think so...try using that to install it... [21:17] _moro_bana_: see you about [21:18] hello, i have just accidentally rm'ed the /usr, /bin, /etc, and some other directories on a file server (i thought i was rm'ing it off of a mounted disk, not the root filesystem). i wanted to ask if it's still safe to write things onto it's mounted samba shares, before i reinstall linux on it [21:18] bahman, if I remember right there is a gnome-configuration-editor...it might be in there. [21:18] blu2, i hav remove network-admin and reinstalled but same [21:18] PirateHead:thanks a lot is there any specific number that it should show [21:18] I tired checking off x11 forwarding in putty, gives me an error connection to localhost:10.0 was lost [21:18] bluefox83, , i hav remove network-admin and reinstalled but same [21:18] ganymede probably not. [21:18] Jack_Sparrow: what do i need to get the right onw [21:18] one.. [21:19] can any 1 tell me how to make change in /etc/network/interface for ssid is khan WPA key is abcd1234 and ip is 192.168.1.4 gateway 192.168.1.1 [21:19] Fingel if you want to use X forwarding in windows you are going to have to run Xming at the same time [21:19] dragon67: Nope, the number it shows depends on your graphics card, your computer, and so on. On my computer, which has no graphics card, I only get about 400 FPS. [21:19] nickrud: Really thanks ;) [21:19] hi, what year did RH release their first distro? [21:19] jenya: I dont know about the 943... I use the bcm43xx [21:19] how do u change the icon of the batter applet in the sys tray [21:19] Fingel check searcher.myvnc.com/geek...I have some notes about remote access [21:19] dragon67: However, you might be able to get more FPS out of that card with different drivers. I'm not an expert on that, though. [21:19] What is the Ubuntu way of installing Apache modules? Do I use apt-get or something similar as opposed to downloading and compiling? [21:20] Jack_Sparrow: do you know of anyone of any channle than can help me..? [21:20] hi guys, what editor do you use for programming? [21:20] th0r: Thanks, said it! I should unistall msttcorefonts ;) [21:20] sarthor, i dunno how to help you, i think there used to be a #ubuntu+1 or something for the next releases of ubuntu... [21:20] bcardarella: Right, you use apt. For example, apt-get libapache2-mod-ruby [21:20] robyonrails, I use gambas [21:20] !info gambas [21:20] th0r: samba is still running, so i guess most of it's shared libraries and whatnot are in memory, but this can still corrupt the filesystem?

[21:21] witam [21:21] Jack_Sparrow: i got the light to go on once but i just did a whole reinstall for the sake of expolring [21:21] th0r: lol, i can't even halt it now [21:22] why the 3D is not integrated in the xubuntu ? like in ubuntu? [21:22] Jack_Sparrow: how does ndiswrapper work? or fwcutter [21:22] would the kubuntu live dvd allow me to run a samba server? [21:22] jenya: i wrote a simple tutorial for ndiswarpper & ubuntu a couple weeks ago. It may help you http://www.firehazrd.com/ubuntu/using-windows-wireless-drivers-on-ubuntu-ndiswrapper-utility [21:22] Well to add to the discussion I use Aptana Studio and Gedit. I'm slowly weening myself off of Aptana though... with a little time you can configuring Gedit to act very similar to Textmate. The only downer is that I haven't found any SVN integration yet. [21:22] ganymede right...like I said...you don't know what is in the cache, so it is pending doom Good luck [21:22] help! I formated an external HD to ext3 now when I look at the drive in gnome it says 'lost and found' and I don't have the authoriation to access it! [21:22] witam hello guten morgen === Jakarta is now known as Belgium [21:22] !ndiswrapper [21:22] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [21:22] rokra: most people that install xubuntu don't like all the hand holding that ubuntu does, so it expects you to do much manually [21:22] bcardarella: You can always write a plugin for gEdit to integrate with SVN. [21:22] ganymede any of the live cds would work...the only difference is the desktop you will be working in [21:22] jenya: I suppose yu already tried all of that === Belgium is now known as Garp [21:23] ganymede for a server I would use xubuntu...lighter and leaves more for the 'server' part [21:23] nickrud, just letting you know my DVD works, thanx 4 ur help [21:23] Jack_Sparrow: yep forgot wth i did [21:23] Jack_Sparrow: recaping ..lol [21:23] jenya: take a look at my tutorial and if it works let me know [21:23] th0r: i usually choose a server install, a desktop livedvd can offer that, right? [21:23] nickrud: My problem is solve :D really thanks again ;) [21:24] bcardarella: you could try installing nautilus-script-collection-svn , it gives you most of the svn stuff you need as a right click [21:24] PirateHead: yeah, I know. I've actually written a few modifications to some of the other plugins. But my Python abilities are not good enough yet to write full fledged plugin [21:24] sure..i wil [21:24] Safiyyah: , bahman you are welcome :) [21:24] ganymede I think so. [21:24] so, i reconfigured exim4 using dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config; now there's a bunch of stuff sitting in /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf, but it hasn't updated /etc/exim4/exim4.conf - what gives? [21:24] ganymede I used xubuntu for my server so I am not sure ...but at worst case the desktop just sits there not running [21:25] graft: restart exim, but iirc exim reads both and creates it's working config on the fly [21:25] nickrud: yeap, so you confirm me that the 3d is not installed by default on xubuntu? [21:25] palbuddy: that is normal, only root should be able to access lost+found [21:25] witam [21:25] jenya: Not much info on the bcm943 uising google [21:25] rokra: it's in ubuntu-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) . I'm not sure if it gets installed by default [21:25] thanks! ganymede....so uh how do I access it through root (sorry newbie) [21:25] How do I install programs with deb files?

[21:52] DWSR2, nop, its usb2, in fact it starts copying quite fast, but it turns ultraslow in a few seconds [21:52] Kris07: whats the exact problem? [21:52] Xintruder: See if the people in #Compiz can find answers.. ATI video card perhaps. driver (ManuallY Installed) issue? or ? [21:52] I thought about going to #ubuntu-kernel, but thats more of a dev channel [21:52] iceman_ if that is what you are after look at sshfs [21:52] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=651172 [21:53] A few days ago, I ran the upgrade manager, and since then my scroll has been acting really weird, it lags all the time, and on any program. [21:53] iceman_ now THAT you can mount [21:53] graft, it lasts copying a simple mp3 more than a minute [21:53] I am trying to unzip a large file and I'm getting "error: invalid compressed data to inflate" in terminal. [21:53] graft: What's a quick command to compare two files? [21:53] graft: and how can i use it? I looked for documentation on the web but nothing that helpful so far... [21:53] link the thread. I use a sony vaio sz premium... wierd... [21:53] sorry [21:53] got it [21:53] DWSR2: diff? [21:53] rodolfo: what are you trying to get? [21:53] stefg: thanks I didn't see that [21:53] graft: by files I do mean folders >.< === wirechief is now known as wirechief_intel [21:53] Kris07: I never saw an answer ... Did you ever use or try to use automatix...? [21:53] can anyone here tell me anything about iplist? [21:53] mmmm, git... [21:53] !iplist [21:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about iplist - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:54] I'd like to ask, does anyone have a problem with buttons remaining seemingly "pressed" after mouse over in open office? [21:54] DWSR2: redirect the output from ls to two files and do a diff? [21:54] I dunno how to express the problem, but to try it out..open OpenOffice, and use the Draw Toolbar for instance [21:54] graft: heh, thanks. :-) [21:54] good enough. [21:54] hi all. How do I download all packages to install VLC on a machine w/out internet? [21:54] ubotu: thx [21:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about thx - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:54] Click on the flowchart button, open a dialog [21:54] graft: intel video driver (xf86-video-intel-2.2.0) using this -> #git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel [21:54] and upon mousing-over the buttons in that dialog, you should see that the buttons look wierd..like this : http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/d803bb93bd.png [21:55] rodolfo: sudo apt-get install git-cvs, then run that command [21:55] can anyone help with that? Has anyone seen that particular problem before? [21:55] th0r what is ssh? [21:55] !ssh | iceman_ [21:55] Lord_Illidan: try asking your problem all in one line, it will greatly increase your chances of getting the answer you want [21:55] iceman_: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [21:55] I am trying to unzip a large file and I'm getting "error: invalid compressed data to inflate" in terminal. [21:55] Sure. Has anyone seen a bug in office that looks like this : http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/d803bb93bd.png [21:56] test [21:56] hello [21:56] hi, when ever i try to boot up after it goes through the grub instead of going to a login screen it goes to a black and white screen and it says "BusyBoxv1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash)" then goes down a line and says "(initramfs)" i cant boot up or anything, what is this error and how can i fix it? [21:56] hi [21:56] is anybody using a bluetooth keyboard and experiencing lag? [21:57] does anyone know how to setup an ubuntu server so that i can use it as a host for http tunneling? [21:57] wow, you got the name ubuntu :D bravo [21:57] graft: so basically, git-cvs does the same that apt-get does? [21:57] I didn't use the computer for 2 months and now the wireless apple keyboard is lagging like hell [21:57] d_tech123: so u think its the hardware? [21:57] rodolfo: no, not at all [21:57] is there a standard solution to this? [21:57] (batteries are brand new) [21:57] !tell ubuntu about bootoptions (have a look at the apic and apci options onthis web page) [21:57] th0r is putty the client version? [21:58] hi all [21:58] ompaul: what? [21:58] how do I display a list of running applications? [21:58] !bootoptions | ubuntu (have a look at the apic and apci options onthis web page) [21:58] ubuntu (have a look at the apic and apci options onthis web page): For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [21:58] in KDE I use "crtl+esc" [21:58] how about gnomne? [21:58] christ ls -alR /dev/sdb1 takes forever >.< [21:58] iceman_ of sshfs? No....sshfs allows me to mount my server as a folder in my home directory. don't know what the windows version would be. [21:59] th0r: You could use WinSCP to explore SSH shares. [21:59] is there anyone that can help? [21:59] how do I display a list of running applications? [21:59] wow, who knew that keybinding existed in KDE? [21:59] Well...has anyone seen a problem like mine before? To test..it's quite simple: Fire up OpenOffice, go to the Draw Toolbar, select something like Flowchart, and in the popup dialog, you should notice that the buttons remain pressed after a mouseover [21:59] ghlala: top? [21:59] ghlala, ps aux [21:59] tabbed terminals ftw. [21:59] iceman_ ssh is a secure telnet...and sshfs works via the same mechanism. Putty does do ssh, but not sshfs [21:59] graft: I want it in a windowed view [21:59] not console [22:00] !offtopic | DWSR2 (it is support only, not running commentaries ;-)) [22:00] DWSR2 (it is support only, not running commentaries ;-)): #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [22:00] DWSR2 really...will make note of that and have some folks do some experimenting with it. I don't use windows...so have to depend on others for that info [22:00] th0r: Yeah, you're welcome. WinSCP essentially turns SSH into an FTP server. Ultra nice. :-) [22:01] DWSR2 yeah...I use sftp which sounds like the same thing. [22:01] th0r i'm not in windows btw but ok...so i just need something to access ftp server not to worried about how secure it is...but yeah so what do i download? [22:01] how do I display a list of running applications? [22:01] It is, yeah. [22:01] iceman_: gftp is good for a graphical one [22:01] DWSR2 going to work with some friends and see if it is the same thing [22:01] iceman_: You're trying to access an FTP server from Linux? [22:01] iceman_: ncftp for command line is nice [22:02] ghlala: check your ps [22:02] The default file managers all support FTP, I believe. [22:02] iceman_ is it a windows server? [22:02] graft: system > preferences > sessions > current session tab [22:02] fallore: eh? [22:02] ok thats good. th0r i don't know if its a windows server but more than likely it is. i don't own the server i just use it [22:03] graft: in the top bar hit the "system" button. from there navigate to preferences, and then sessions. it will open a window where you can click the current session tab [22:03] Does myspace work in ubuntu (firefox)? [22:03] is there something similar to KDE's "ctrl+esc" in gnome? [22:03] adaminla: yes, it does. the internet works just the same in windows and ubuntu :] [22:03] fallore: why are you telling me this? [22:03] graft: weren't you asking how to display a list of what programs were running? [22:03] iceman_ then what you use to access it depends on what they have isntalled. If youjust want ftp access...use gftp [22:03] damn! it was ghlala, not graft. my bad :p [22:04] anyone have xubuntu running on an IT8212 ide raid controller (either as raid or not) [22:04] ghlala: : system > preferences > sessions > current session tab [22:04] ok so sudo apt-get gftp ? [22:04] install* [22:04] iceman_ that should work [22:04] cool [22:04] thanks guys [22:04] k thanks [22:04] lataz [22:04] np ghlala, hope i helped [22:04] Some of the videos don't seem to work on my kids site. [22:04] how do you chmod recursively [22:04] adaminla: do you know if they are flash videos? [22:04] chmod -R [22:04] -r [22:05] quaal: chmod -R [22:05] The capitalization of command line switches matters. [22:05] quaal: chmod -R [22:05] what's especially annoying is that recursive chown is chown -r [22:05] anyone around that can help me out with http tunneling? [22:05] graft: yeah [22:05] no i don't. flash is installed. [22:05] wait, no it's not! [22:05] yeah its not [22:05] chmod is -r [22:05] must hav been fixed [22:05] also adaminla, when you respond it would be very helpful if you included my name in the message, it hightlights it. [22:05] chown is -R [22:05] chown accepts both I think. [22:05] negative [22:06] meh. [22:06] adaminla: Depending on when flash was installed.. it is broken even if it shows as installed [22:06] Must have fixed it. [22:06] I have a question about the CPU Frequency Monitor, why can I not use its functionality to "dynamically" scale my CPU frequency? right now I do not have to the choice to either change the frequency or the "Governers" which decide how to scale my CPU [22:06] they're finally consistent! [22:06] esper] I've done ssh tunneling, but not http tunneling [22:06] I always do -R for both [22:06] adaminla: did you recently install flash/ubuntu? did you install flash through firefox? [22:06] Been a while since I've chowned anything. I'm the only user normally. [22:06] well, chmod -r should be 'remove read flag' [22:06] yeah. [22:06] im basically trying to figure out how i can configure apache or some other service to accept a tunnel from my laptop [22:06] but that's assuming that you don't supply a mask. [22:06] anyone have xubuntu running on an IT8212 ide raid controller (either as raid or not) [22:06] If you do chmod -r 777, that's a bit pointless, and offtopic. AnYWAYS! [22:07] Fallore: flash through ubuntu synap. [22:07] * DWSR2 shuts up. [22:07] !flashissues [22:07] 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. [22:07] adaminla: yeah, theres a problem with flash recently where it wont properly install/work if you download it through synap or firefox === Xjs-Itisme is now known as Xjs [22:07] adaminla: what ubotu just said is what you need :] [22:08] esper] strange...the only google reference to http tunneling is under firewall piercing [22:08] adaminla: if you need additional help installing flash just ask :] [22:08] my lan admin is pretty cool, but doesn't want to go through the trouble of openning ports because of all the paper work involved [22:08] so he'll let me tunnel out through http if i can set it up [22:09] esper] http://www.nocrew.org/software/httptunnel.html [22:09] ssh is internal only though :/ otherwise i would be set [22:09] falloreOk i'll need to go back to my kids place. [22:09] adaminla: alright, good luck :] [22:09] thanks th0r [22:09] esper]: what are you trying to setup? [22:09] esper] there is even a debian package [22:09] esperj: privoxy should also do what you want. [22:09] lets complain for the slow flash videos and firefox crashes here: http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2007/12/flash_player_9_update_3_final.html [22:09] fallore, can I just remove flash and reinstall it? [22:09] mnb [22:10] How do I tar all files with X name? [22:10] adaminla: as long as when you reinstall it you do it like ubotu said, then yes, thats the solution [22:10] http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform [22:10] th0r: i have alot of down time at work and basically want to forward my WoW connection and also be able to access my network === duns_s_ is now known as duns_s [22:10] rockzman: like tar vfc tarfile.tar *.txt ? i dunno if that works or not [22:10] esper] yo no se nada [22:10] rockzman, "man tar" if you know howto use tar, then specify the filenames with wildcards so x*.* [22:10] esper]: if your home connection can handle it, settingup a VPN via SSH is probably your best bet [22:10] ~network's connection for when I'm trying to look at sites that the firewall blocks like linux forums [22:11] Does anyone know how to kill X server display without restarting my comp? I have an irc server running on this comp and I don't want to kill it... [22:11] esper]: but be advised you'll be limited by your upload bandwidth if you tunnel anything from home [22:11] It locked up, lol [22:11] yah im going to do that aswell, but ssh out of the network isnt possable [22:11] Omnimon-X: ssh is your friend [22:11] Omnimon-X, crtl+alt+backspace restarts it, to kill it use sudo /etc/init.d/xorg stop [22:11] i have a pretty rock solid 3mbps dsl line [22:11] lol [22:11] k [22:11] thanks [22:11] lol [22:11] with a static ip [22:12] hmmm [22:12] keyboard is locked up in display [22:12] Omnimon-X, yeah my mistake its x11-common ;P [22:12] lol [22:13] !lol > Omnimon-X [22:13] As near as I can tell, there is nothing ubuntu server specific in the ubuntu kernel git repository, either....... [22:13] what could be the cause for my bluetooth keyboard to start lagging? [22:13] !lol | WinShade [22:13] it makes it almost worthless to me and I think I need a wired one again :( [22:13] finn: too close to the receiver? [22:13] macd, it didn't work [22:13] display is still locked up [22:13] Omnimon-X, stop gdm also then [22:14] how close is too close? [22:14] k [22:14] and can that really cause problems? [22:14] How do I tar all files on my machine with X name? [22:14] well...i have problem with session of my bro [22:14] within about 3 inches [22:14] metacity don't work ! [22:14] yes it can [22:14] :S [22:14] i need help [22:14] no, it's about as far away as my foot [22:14] my session work metacity ok [22:14] then that's not it [22:14] !grub [22:14] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [22:14] but, session my little bro no :-( [22:15] rockzman: Good info on the help page for backup if you want it.. [22:15] can anyone help me with pidgin upgrade in gusty ? i have downloaded 3 files from debget but i dont know how to uninstall previous ver. [22:15] I've just installed Ubuntu 7.10, and everything works great -- except that my CDROM idsn't recognized; same problem with debian lenny [22:15] speedbird: Use synaptic [22:15] I didn't change any bluetooth software either [22:16] macd, still locked up [22:16] someone ? [22:16] tehtrk_: the source is the same for all editions. the -server kernels are just compiled with a different config, afaik. But there is no magic in the ubuntu kernel sources, mainly it's restricted drivers and added hardware support what makes an ubuntu kernel. if you don't need particular hardware supported a vanilla source is just fine to build a kernel for a ubuntu box [22:16] i have a file copied somewhere else as a backup. i want to use that file to replace the edited one, but it's telling me i don't have permission. how can i replace it? [22:16] Omnimon-X, does ps ax | grep X in console list any processes? [22:16] graft: i type the command on the terminal but nothing happens. [22:16] Jack_Sparrow : and select what ? :s [22:16] fallore: sudo or gksudo [22:16] My laptop has a wireless card, and it is connecting using dhcp upon startup. Is there anyway to make it so it connects to my router at the login screen instead of at startup? [22:16] stefg: oh cool, then I'll just reuse the config I have now, thanks!! [22:17] rodolfo: what command? [22:17] fallers: sudo cp /backup /file [22:17] is there a difference in mini pci and mini pci express? [22:17] in terminal [22:17] graft: should I call git? [22:17] macd, it lists tty2 and thats it [22:17] When converting mp3 to Vorbis, is there a way to do it without losing audio quality? I get the feeling that if mp3 already cuts out inaudible frequencies, that there's no reason for Vorbis to cut them out again? [22:17] graft: #git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel [22:17] TonKi: alright thanks [22:17] speedbird: gaim if feisty or pidgin if gutsy [22:17] finn: did you change anything major? Upgrade to gutsy, anything like that? [22:17] ouellettesr, Mini PCI is bigger than Mini PCI express. Mini PCI is based off of PCI and Mini PCI express is based off of PCI express [22:17] rodolfo: what happens when you type it? you're not typing the #, are you? (you shouldn't) [22:17] Omnimon-X, you see that number in front of tty2, well issue command "sudo kill -9 number" [22:17] k [22:18] thanks Sonicadvance [22:18] Jack_Sparrow its pidgin and i m on gusty [22:18] TonKi: would this be correct? sudo cp /home/alexander/Documents/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list [22:18] macd, it says no such process [22:18] graft: without "#" | terminal returns to me 'bash: git:command not found' [22:18] rodolfo: did you do sudo apt-get install git-cvs? [22:18] speedbird: tag for removal [22:19] macd, I entered the command again and the number is different [22:19] Omnimon-X, if the number in front of tty2 was 1234 you issued sudo kill -9 1234 right? [22:19] Does anyone here have a good knowledge of GRUB? I'd like to set up GRUB on my MBR in order to facilitate a completely Windows dual-boot system. [22:19] Blagh, the non-free Adobe flash player keeps freezing my Firefox. Die die die, Adobe. >:-( [22:19] Omnimon-X, ohh, interesting, different number [22:19] DWSR2: Single or dual drives....? [22:19] single. [22:19] graft: oh crap...i just built it's dependencies...hehe =x [22:19] Jack_Sparrow : tag what ? :( [22:19] it was originally 12238 [22:19] macd [22:19] but it went up [22:19] How does one get the propriatary (broadcom) netword drivers for a new install of Gibbon? W/o a network connection? O.o [22:20] Jack_Sparrow: single. [22:20] swanberg: Hope to god ndiswrapper comes with the CD? :D [22:20] speedbird: Did you find pidgin in synaptic and is it tagged as installed on your system [22:20] TonKi: would this be correct? sudo cp /home/alexander/Documents/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list [22:20] Omnimon-X, that makes sense, did you issue both "sudo /etc/init.d/x11-common stop" and "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" [22:20] yeah [22:20] speedbird: If you have windows installed first, the automatic installer works very well... I suggest you do manual partitioning and have a second partition for /home [22:21] oh yes older ver is installed the one which comes with gusty .. .but i want to upgrade to newer ver. [22:21] Does anyone here have a good knowledge of GRUB? I'd like to set up GRUB on my MBR in order to facilitate a completely Windows dual-boot system on a single drive. [22:21] macd, now what? keyboard is still locked up on the screen where the display usually is, and there is a black screen [22:21] can anyone tell me if this command would copy the sources list from the documents folder to the etc/apt folder? "sudo cp /home/alexander/Documents/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list" [22:21] speedbird: Per the instructions where you just downloaded.. you MUST remove the old one first. [22:22] !grub | DWSR2 [22:22] DWSR2: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [22:22] Omnimon-X, well reverse the stop with start now on those 2 commands, and hopefully X will come back up with a login prompt [22:22] Hi! Is there workgroups between linux-linux machines as well, or only between linux-windows/windows-windows machines? [22:22] Jack_Sparrow : yeah thats what i dont know .. how to remove the old one ? :s [22:22] Priit_M, if both windows machines use samba for sharing, yes there is. [22:22] Priit_M, err both linux * [22:22] stefg: Looked. [22:22] ok, thanks [22:22] stefg: Don't really help me. [22:23] speedbird: In synaptic... click the little bow where you would select to install it.. there is an option to remove it [22:23] box [22:23] macd, now the numlock is blinking on the screen [22:23] but its still black [22:23] can anyone tell me if this command would copy the sources list from the documents folder to the etc/apt folder? "sudo cp /home/alexander/Documents/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list" [22:23] Omnimon-X, Im fresh out of ideas then to be honest, better warn your users reboot iminenet ;P [22:23] DWSR2: :-\ I do have another ubuntu host near, on Feisty. Can I use that to get the drivers? [22:23] fallore: cp [22:23] lol [22:23] DWSR2: ##windows .... you could use grub for it using the 'chainload' command, but why not simply use windows boot.ini ? 'nuff offtopic ... /j ##winows [22:23] Flare183: thats the command i'm using [22:23] fallore, yes it will [22:24] swanberg: Yeah. [22:24] thanks macd [22:24] fallore: It would. Be careful you don't typo anything while you write that. ;-) [22:24] fallore: then your doing it right [22:24] JordiGH: Flare183: macd: awesome, ty :] [22:24] fallore: np [22:24] fallore: GNU isn't meant to be forgiving when you're typing "sudo this" and "sudo that". [22:24] fallore: So be careful... [22:24] Omnimon-X, but dont give up, someone else here is sure to have another idea, maybe Jack_Sparrow ;) [22:24] Jack_Sparrow : I found pidgin but there is another file named : pidgin-data and if i will search for pidgin i m sure i will find some more .. i just wanna know which one i have to remove to uninstall it ? [22:24] sudo punched yourself in the face [22:25] speedbird: Uninstall anything pidgin [22:25] JordiGH: i am :] this box is mostly a practice run, if i mess up something here it wouldn't be catastrophic [22:25] Is there a known reason why using the madwifi driver in an Atheros AR5212 would cause a full system lock-up at sporadic intervals? [22:25] DWSR2: can you give me a hint how? [22:25] Jack_Sparrow [22:25] How can I tell which displays are in use on a particular machine? so I can set DISPLAY=(whatever) [22:25] graft: it worked. Thank you :) [22:25] rodolfo: np [22:25] swanberg: Removable media. [22:25] maguko: 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. :-( [22:26] fallore: you can autocomplete with tab (folder files commands) [22:26] DWSR2: 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] JordiGH, such is what I feared. I'm already posing the question to #madwifi :) [22:26] my sound wont work.........says something is using it........but there isnt anything [22:26] Just wanted to know if there was something documented already. Would save some headache in tracking down this pretty-severe bug. [22:26] Why do i have to be a superuser to mount this ntfs disk: [22:26] UUID /media/Xp ntfs user,noauto,rw 0 0 [22:26] while i can mount this one just fine as user: [22:26] UUID /media/Hdd2 ext3 user,noauto,rw 0 0 [22:26] (and yes, i want them to be unmounted at boot up) [22:27] !ops | aladdinsane [22:27] aladdinsane: Help!

[22:35] whoops, I didn't ask my question very well [22:35] !vpn | Aeleon [22:35] Aeleon: From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD [22:35] Tigerplug: install emerald , that will pull in the theme editor [22:35] twavisdegwet, mind supplying output from your programs? using pastebin please [22:35] dualmonitorqs, in theory that would work fine, some disk manufacturers ship tools that do what you want with new drives, and the method is similar to dd [22:35] hm. How do I check the version of my currently installed madwifi driver? I'd look it up in synaptic, but it's part of the linux-restricted-modules meta package.

[22:36] ughh i'm justrunning an autoinstall.in [22:36] twavisdegwet, not sure what you mean... [22:36] Flare183, does that help with Ubuntu server-side or client-side? My client is Vista, my ubuntu box is my server at home. [22:37] bundagan: sadly your hardware will not allow you to run compiz, it seems. it takes /some/ GPU horsepower, if you don't provide it, you can't run it ...

[22:38] macd: I've read through both thoroughly...I spent a long time trying to give local-system users full access until I realized..well, you couldn't. [22:38] yes it says to run the autoinstall [22:38] and i did [22:38] lol [22:38] ompaul: does it auto-magicaly import data from banks? [22:38] macd: ill take another look I suppose. [22:38] question: I am looking into what hardware to buy for a setup with at least to large displays. Any (pointers to) recommendations on what is best supported by Ubuntu?

[22:39] WNxCryptic, I see a config directive that allows local users to login to ftp, as well as limit them to their home directory [22:39] aladdinsane: you can change the ownership of the drive while root and allow yourself to mount it normally [22:39] twavisdegwet, check the forums, that will be your best solution [22:40] ompaul: ah. Thansk [22:40] *thanks [22:40] does anybody know a tool for ebay, so i wont miss any auction? [22:40] WNxCryptic, all within the top 40 or so lines of the file (that I might mention is documented itself) [22:40] wiske: format a jumpdrive to fat 32 using a formatingtool make it bootable and install it that way?

[22:41] nickrud: thx [22:41] twavisdegwet: good till the boot, old BIOS. Any way to boot from floopy? [22:41] WNxCryptic, so chroot the users to their home dirs, then use a symbolic link to their directory within /var/www/ [22:41] lol floopy's are a little bit small [22:41] Muskrat: check different players like mplayer and vlc... totem had some issues in the past [22:41] ablyss: you mean by right clicking it in nautilus and choosing preferenses for example? cause i did that and set the group to my user, still doesnt mount without me changning to root [22:42] wiske:floopies are a lil bit small i don't see how it would be possible.. condsider ordering the cd off of the site if it is a problem [22:42] Uh, I'm trying to install pptpd as indicated in this faq i was listed (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD) but when I try to apt-get it, it "couldn't find th package". I'm SSH'ed to my box, what do I do? [22:42] twavisdegwet: should be a way to make boot & root disk [22:42] question [22:42] is there any way to get my xorg.conf back if there aren't any backups? [22:42] wiske: there could be but i'm not sure of it :D [22:42] !ask | WinShade [22:42] WinShade: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [22:42] ablyss: ok, maybe im wrong, but doesnt that just affect the folder after it has been mounted? since thats the mount point? [22:42] i have ubuntu installed, i want to update the bios but the update only comes in an exe file... any ideas? [22:42] aladdinsane: hmm yes.. i think you actually have to be root to mount it [22:43] winshade: use wine? [22:43] is there any way to get my xorg.conf back if there aren't any backups? [22:43] WinShade: freedos, ultimate boot cd .... [22:43] twavisdegwet: have CD but no drive [22:43] Muskrat: try another media player === gtmt is now known as dragonus [22:43] freedos? [22:43] stefg, VLC is doing the same thing. the picture is clear enough, but it's still unnaturally bright [22:43] will wine work? === dragonus is now known as gtmt [22:43] ablyss: so its a ntfs issue then? [22:43] it might be a little better, though [22:43] Uh, I'm trying to install pptpd as indicated in this faq i was listed (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD) but when I try to apt-get it, it "couldn't find the package".

[22:43] wiske: well i'd go with my jumpdrive idea or looks like u gotta go buy a cd drive lol refer to newegg.com that's where there cheapest i think [22:43] hey anybody here running linux on a mac? actually the question is does linux recognize macintosh partitions in a dual boot scenario [22:44] Muskrat: hmmm... might be an issue with your video driver and xv accelerated video... [22:44] aladdinsane: not sure.. far as I know you have to sudo mount all drives except usb drives [22:44] WinShade: maybe doubt it because ubuntu is controling hte mine part of your computer [22:44] i'm running linux on an xbox? i think that's close enough [22:44] figures [22:44] twavisdegwet: have USB drive, maybe I can find way to load drivers first... [22:44] that's cool, twavisdegwet; what do you actually do with that? [22:44] ok so freedos it is [22:44] *the [22:44] WinShade: boot from an ultimate boot cd to freedos and run it?

Will try. [22:46] WinShade: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ [22:46] nalioth, I tried using wine. it's not working too well [22:46] & yo, I swear my question is simple, can nobody even say "I don't know" when I ask it?

[22:54] Why do i have to be a superuser to mount this ntfs disk: [22:54] UUID /media/Xp ntfs user,noauto,rw 0 0 [22:54] while i can mount this one just fine as user: [22:54] UUID /media/Hdd2 ext3 user,noauto,rw 0 0pretty please help [22:54] Aeleon: I'm not actually sure what your asking. Can you be specific [22:54] thedoc2097: Knoppix I think stil uses it [22:54] Did you open the link I gave you twice now? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD [22:54] What 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 image [22:54] Aeleon: I've not opened it yet, no [22:54] jack Sparrow: I have a knoppix live cd, but i think this won´t help [22:55] Aeleon, ask your direct question please [22:55] aladdinsane: 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] mnicnerd: if u can't screenshot them it's probably ur monitor [22:55] <^A^kira> if u have ATI card try to reinstall drivers [22:55] its a brand new laptop [22:55] thedoc2097: you can install lilo from the repos. [22:55] Aeleon: I'm looking at it now, but there are lots of lines and examples, please ask a specific question [22:55] nickrud: repos? [22:55] manicnerd: ouch well not sure then [22:55] Right. In those examples, it says "File Contains Only These Lines". [22:55] ^A^kira: any suggestions on how to do it? [22:55] !lilo [22:55] lilo is an alternative [Li]nux Boot[Lo]ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead. [22:56] it is an ATI card and this didnt happen before i updated to the new drivers [22:56] What 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] Aeleon, question, please [22:56] but no one is reporting this problem [22:56] thedoc2097: sudo apt-get install lilo , the repos are the repository of software [22:56] Aeleon: so the file /etc/ppp/options contains lock #debug is what your asking about [22:56] neverblue, THis is the fourth iteration of this question. [22:56] !2wire [22:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about 2wire - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:56] Aeleon: thats being specific [22:56] !repos | thedoc2097 [22:56] thedoc2097: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource [22:56] DWSR2: dont know what u mean with 3g, but ok i guessed it was a ntfs issue, can i get around it? [22:56] Hey everyone [22:56] <^A^kira> dl and install from ati site [22:56] Aeleon: your not asking a specifc question, there are MANY exmaples in that page you've posted 4 times [22:56] !ndiswrapper [22:56] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:56] ikonia: fine. What do I do with that? [22:56] Aeleon, it will contain those lines [22:56] _moro_bana_: Did you have a question? [22:56] neverblue: and? [22:56] Aeleon: what do you do with what ? [22:56] <^A^kira> worked for me and some my friends [22:56] ikonia: those lines. [22:56] aladdinsane: ntfs-3g is a piece of software that allows Linux to read and write to NTFS partitions safely. [22:56] Does anyone notice that videos played on Ubuntu are much darker than the same video being played on Windows? Is there any way of resolving this? [22:56] any ideas why i can only connect to the web for 30 secs? [22:56] nickrud : ah in slax it is slapt-get [22:56] ikonia: i imagine they were quoted to me for a reason. [22:56] It comes installed with Ubuntu >7.04 [22:56] ^A^kira: thanks [22:57] Aeleon: nothing - it says "it only contains these lines" [22:57] ikonia: i wanted to know what that reason is. [22:57] Muskrat: did you see your server window? === ^A^kira is now known as ^A^way [22:57] Aeleon, and nothing, it clearly tells you that file will have those lines [22:57] Aeleon: it's telling you what the file should contain [22:57] bozg: you are right. [22:57] !ntfs-3g [22:57] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [22:57] thedoc2097: yeah, they did that to avoid trademark infringment :) [22:57] neverblue: so there's nothing I should be doing to those lines, as indicated by the FAQ, right? [22:57] nalioth, what server window? I did the update thing, and it doesn't work [22:57] Ikonia & neverblue: I just wanted to make sure I'm not missing something. [22:57] Aeleon: no, the howto is telling you thats what they should contain [22:57] DWSR2: do i need that in gutsy? i never did anything and it always worked, exept this manual mount thing [22:57] Muskrat: your irc clients server window [22:57] Aeleon, no one has any idea of what your trying to do, thats why we ask you to repeat [22:57] will freedos run an exe made for windows? [22:58] no. it's automatically installed and used in gutsy. [22:58] WinShade: no, it's dos, not windows [22:58] neverblue: someone did, and that's why they pointed me to this faq. [22:58] WinShade: I don't know, but I know that Wine will. [22:58] ikonia: thank you. [22:58] hello [22:58] :s... ok i guess i'll just have to try wine [22:58] Aeleon: no problem, just took a while to get there, as a tip try to be a little clearer rather than generic and we'll get there easier [22:58] thx [22:58] aladdinsane: You'll need to install ntfs-config in order to solve it. [22:58] I'm trying to install the GNU scientific library, but when I run ./configure I get (after a few lines): configure: error: compiler cannot create executables - anyone know what I need to do? [22:58] configure: error: Cannot find MySQL header files under /usr. any idea how i could install the mysql header files or where they are located ? [22:58] <_moro_bana_> Jack_Sparrow: just that u are always here,someone was helping me here and u were here all that time and still are, [22:59] <_moro_bana_> Jack_Sparrow: are u part of the ubuntu team [22:59] Run 'sudo apt-get install ntfs-config'. You'll need the universe repository enabled in Synaptic. [22:59] i am able to connect to the internet for a few seconds. any ideas why? [22:59] _moro_bana_: Nickrud and I were helping you.. and he is still here too.. [22:59] is there anyone here who can tell me how to turn off my mouse? [22:59] unplug it === gcc is now known as debatem1 [22:59] dstath, call your ISP, they would have a much better idea than we would [23:00] duh, guy, this is a touchpad that never registers the synaptics driver correctly. [23:00] _moro_bana_: Not part of any team.. just part of the community.. which is Ubuntu [23:00] i just want it off, never loaded [23:00] DWSR2: ok i'll try it out [23:00] neverblue: I can connect without a problem using windows. [23:00] rdw200169, there isnt a button (hardware) to press ? [23:00] it's a macbook [23:00] dstath, good to know [23:01] anybody know of a server that permits the safe execution of one of a small number of programs, requires authorization, and does not require suid, sgid, or devices inside of its chroot? [23:01] When I have AWN installed... how to I hide the bar at the bottom of my screen? [23:01] _moro_bana_: If you hav a question about Ubuntu I would be happy to try and answer it... If you have non-ubuntu questions, ask and I will join you in offtopic [23:01] hi :) [23:01] with my wacom pad and external mouse, the touchpad never gets the synaptics driver for some d* reason [23:01] neverblue: I asked the provided of my modem and they say that they have nothing on linux. [23:01] Tigerplug: gotta right click on it and go to prefs and select autohide [23:01] dstath, without any details, no one will be able to just guess and be correct as to why you went offline for a few seconds [23:01] i just want it off so I can type without clicking everything on the screen [23:01] Tigerplug: Right click -> properites. [23:02] Can anyone help me with video codecs? [23:02] anyone know why samba is brutally slow? [23:02] neverblue: I understand that. I have logs. [23:02] !anyone [23:02] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [23:02] Ok, another question: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD In this FAQ, it's telling me to run echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward & ip_dynaddr accordingly, but when I go to run it, -bash tells me "Premission Denied". Suggestoins? [23:02] anyone know which driver supports the x1150 by ati? [23:02] anybody know of a server that permits the safe execution of one of a small number of programs, requires authorization, and does not require suid, sgid, or devices inside of its chroot? [23:02] BSG75: have you tested your hdd speeds with hdparm to see if it's samba that's slow? [23:02] aeleon: sudo [23:02] !pastebin | dstath [23:02] dstath: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [23:02] even with sudo, debatem1. [23:02] BSG75: there's also an optimized line you can use for the tcp controller.. lemme see if i can fidn it [23:02] KlrSpz: yes .. ftp.. scp .. is blazing fast .. [23:02] Aeleon, look at the permissions [23:02] scp is NOT blazing fast [23:03] neverblue: how? where? [23:03] firefox's memory usage seems to build up after a while even when there's only 1 tab open. why is that? [23:03] Can anyone tell me how to change the timezone on my system? I switched it, and cannot figure out how to switch it back. [23:03] aeleon: cute. that was my only suggestion [23:03] with 1024 rsa you'll only get about 8mbit at max [23:03] debatem1: thanks anyway. [23:03] Aeleon, its right in your command, your copying/writing to something, look at the permissions [23:03] KlrSpz: I have tried copying it from linux thinking it's because of usual Vista bloat [23:03] neverblue: dmesg here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51269/ [23:03] sanyora, try restarting it [23:03] KlrSpz: but it seems OS independant [23:03] x_or: system->admin->time & date [23:03] Huh? Could you elaborate, neverblue? [23:03] everyone: so what's a wireless adapter that every1 can confirm works with linux? [23:04] Aeleon, whats the command [23:04] x_or http://www.wikihow.com/Change-the-Timezone-in-Linux [23:04] aeleon: wait, is that & or && [23:04] neverblue: is it the only way to prevent/solve the problem? [23:04] BSG75: well do an hdparm test real quick while i look for this line [23:04] I can't apt-get update http://pastebin.ca/847343 [23:04] BSG75: something like hdparm -tT /dev/xxx [23:04] No, no &, they're two serperate commands and I didn't wnat to fill the screen with them. [23:04] neverblue: that's kinda dumb [23:04] Does anyone else have problems with videos in Ubuntu being extremely dark compared to Windows? [23:04] sanyora, quicker than a long winded explaination from more than one person in here [23:04] oh ya for the wireless adapter that works on linux... preferbly one that can be found at best buy [23:04] twavisdegwet, I don't think there's a user name "ever1" on at the moment, so you should wait till he gets on before asking what chipset he'd recoomend [23:04] echo > 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [23:05] ^there that one isn't pointed at anyone lol [23:05] and echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr [23:05] echo 1 * [23:05] aeleon: which does it fail on? it should not fail on either, but that could help [23:05] it "Permission Denied"s me on both, debatem1. [23:05] Aeleon, then look at the permissions of: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward and /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr [23:06] and how do I do that, neverblue? [23:06] Hi! Why do I need to create separate partition for installer when installing from existing linux partition? [23:06] !permissions [23:06] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [23:06] I'm refering to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux [23:06] my usb2 hd is 32MB/sec my internals are 31.30 [23:06] aeleon: hmm check for their existence [23:06] Aeleon, now its your turn to do some wor [23:06] is there a list of confirmed working wifi adapters for linux? [23:06] neverblue, you don't need to be rude. [23:06] tiny_: because it's mounted, you can't write to many of the locked files such as your user namespace (formerly devfs) or proc [23:06] no idea dstath [23:06] neverblue: ifconfig http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51269/ [23:06] anybody know of a server that permits the safe execution of one of a small number of programs, requires authorization, and does not require suid, sgid, or devices inside of its chroot? [23:07] BSG75: yeah that's not that fast to begin with [23:07] Aeleon, 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 rude [23:07] klrspz: you should be able to enable forwarding... [23:08] BSG75: and that's most likely buffered, not sustained [23:08] is there an application i can use to make custom keyboard shortcuts less of a pain under gnome? [23:08] KlrSpz: so what if I can't create another partition? [23:08] debatem1: huh? [23:08] Does anyone know how to set up an ftp account on an ubuntu server? I have the ftp program installed but can't figure it out. [23:08] bye :) [23:08] but why is samba shares so slow [23:08] neverblue: I installed ubuntu yesterday and haven't worked on a commandline in 5 years +. Apology accepted. [23:08] reportingsjr, running a server or a client ? [23:08] tiny_: then you can create a file and mount it as a drive with the loop option to mount i believe [23:08] klrspz: he should be able to enable forwarding. thats what that line is- echoing one into the kernel setting for ip forwarding [23:08] Aeleon, welcome back :) [23:08] hi there! is there a way to swap between java JREs? I got 5 and 6 installed and need to downgrade now to 5 - but i dont want to uninstall version 6. any suggestions? [23:08] debatem1: i think you have the convo confused, i'm not talking about that one [23:08] neverblue: I'm using my computer (the one I'm on now) as a server. (just to learn) [23:09] KlrSpz: I am about to check with nfs [23:09] klrspz: ah srry [23:09] So running a server. [23:09] SeicherlBoB: /etc/alternatives/java [23:09] brb [23:09] I have two monitors connected, but only one of them is showing graphics, and only one shows up in the Screen and Graphics Preferences thingy. How can I enable my other screen? [23:09] reportingsjr, which FTP server are you considering ? [23:09] neverblue: not quite a welcome return, but a return nonetheless. [23:09] anybody know of a server that permits the safe execution of one of a small number of programs, requires authorization, and does not require suid, sgid, or devices inside of its chroot? [23:09] * Pelo waves hello to the group [23:09] BSG75: again, there's an optimization line.. i'm at work and it's all blocked here... i can't find jack squat... i have a config at home optimized that did make a huge diff.. but the ubuntu default is generally pretty good [23:09] SeicherlBoB: sudo update-alternatives --config jave [23:09] debatem1: what's the issue though? ip masquerading? [23:09] ikonia: yes, but there are like 20 links i would need to change manually... do you know a script or tool? [23:09] can someone do me a favor and post the url to the broadcom fw-cutter firmware that ubuntu downloads? [23:09] nickrud: thanks, i'll check that [23:09] selinuxium: update-alternative is the command I think [23:09] neverblue: Well, it looks like I have "The FTP client" installed already. (via package manager) [23:10] could someone please help me determin if I installed ubuntu server correctly? [23:10] Bakefy: what do you want to know ? [23:10] Bakefy, please explain [23:10] SeicherlBoB: be sure to use java not jave , typo [23:10] klrspz: 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_ADMIN [23:10] ikonia: ? I don't think that was aimed at me :) [23:10] Bakefy, do you boot into the command line ? yes : it is installed properly [23:10] klrspz: i may be wrong tho [23:10] nickrud: hehe, i was sure about that [23:10] selinuxium: probably not, auto-complete is borking for me [23:10] Is there someone in here who loves fixing sound cards? Because I've got one hell of a problem [23:11] any guess why my connection to the internet stops after a few secodns? [23:11] debatem1: done as sudo? [23:11] ikonia: np :) [23:11] klrspz: yep [23:11] nickrud: perfectly fine! thanks a lot! [23:11] neverblue: Any clue? [23:11] Xerostyle, stating the problem is the next step [23:11] ikonia, I have good feeling its not correct... its got some shell running "busybox" (include Pelo and neverblue) [23:11] reportingsjr, i cannot help you, until you help me, please reply to any questions I have [23:11] debatem1: hmmm.. who is this doing this? and did they compile their own kernel? (and why?) [23:11] Bakefy: so you don't boot ubuntu - you just get busybox [23:11] ikonia, I am at command line though. (include Pelo and neverblue) [23:11] Whoops [23:11] neverblue: I did..? [23:11] klrspz: ask aeleon [23:12] ? [23:12] reportingsjr, which FTP server are you considering ? [23:12] what? [23:12] ikonia, that is correct. [23:12] Aeleon: did you compile your own kernel, and if so.. what is your reasoning? [23:12] Bakefy: then t's not installed [23:12] I uh.. [23:12] neverblue: What do you mean by that? Which daemon? [23:12] My 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] KlrSpz, if I did, I didn' know about it. [23:12] Aeleon: debatem1: ubuntu's default kernel has all that enabled [23:12] hmm, wonder where it failed [23:12] lol, ok [23:12] can anyone tell me what script ubuntu uses for hotplugging? [23:12] so i'll take that as a no [23:12] it went through the whole thing... [23:12] nd1: udevd [23:12] !sound > Xerostyle check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [23:12] Aeleon: first catch me up to what you're trying to do? [23:12] klrspz: i know. im just saying i see no reason why enabling ip forwarding should fail under sudo [23:13] The kicker is that if I boot into Windows, the sound works, so I know the speakers aren't broken [23:13] !sound [23:13] ? === cZw0 is now known as cZw0^bettl [23:13] reportingsjr, an FTP client connects to a server, which is offering files, a server is run a system which offers files. From my questions, it seems your asking how to install an FTP server, so yes, I am asking which daemon you are considering [23:13] klrspz: a custom kernel and lcap are the only things in my limited experience that might cause that [23:13] Xerostyle, check in your private msg windows , ubotu just sent you a link to a trouble shoot for sound problems [23:13] KlrSpz: I'm trying to set up a vpn server on the ubuntu box that I can use for bt & mmos off a vista laptop in the UK. [23:13] how do I check private message? [23:13] neverblue: Ok, I already answered that one. I have FTP installed. That's the name of it. [23:13] debatem1: agreed.. but he's using the generic ubuntu kernel it seems [23:13] <_moro_bana_> Jack_Sparrow: offtopic can i open a dialogue box [23:13] Xerostyle, what client are you uisng ? [23:13] pidgen [23:13] xerostyle: pms are disabled on freenode right now [23:14] KlrSpz: I was directed to read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD and I'm having trouble with every step, hah. [23:14] Xerostyle, hmmm, hold on [23:14] KlrSpz: *she :P [23:14] !sound | Xerostyle [23:14] reportingsjr, what command did you use to install this 'ftp' ? [23:14] debatem1: I've got pm's today [23:14] neverblue: I'm not asking how to install one, but how to set up a user on it. [23:14] ubotu, dead or someting ? [23:14] _moro_bana_: Sure [23:14] :-/ [23:14] Aeleon: are these pc's all on the same lan? [23:14] reportingsjr, setup a user on what ? [23:14] neverblue: I think it was already installed, or maybe I ran apt-get a while back. I don't remember installing it though :D [23:14] Xerostyle, give it a minute for the bot to catchup, it might be lagging a bit [23:14] ikonia: really? i just got a blocked message a few hours ago... might just be me? [23:14] <_moro_bana_> Jack_Sparrow: i did [23:14] neverblue: The ftp server.. [23:14] kk [23:14] reportingsjr, ftp is not an ftp server [23:15] KlrSpz: my ubuntu box is connected to my router at home, my intended client is going to be here in the UK. [23:15] ikonia, should I attempt to reinstall her? [23:15] reportingsjr, your confused [23:15] _moro_bana_: /j #Voyager [23:15] Bakefy: I certainly would [23:15] Xerostyle, meanwhile, open a terminal and type alsamixer see that everyting is turned up and not muted [23:15] KlrSpz: I'm actually on my vista box, and I'm SSH'ed to my ubuntu box. [23:15] neverblue: Isn't it? I thought it was... What would you recommend then? [23:15] neverblue: I'm running apache 2 for the server. [23:15] reportingsjr, what are you trying to do ? [23:15] i have ubuntu server installed on a system with multiple network cards, but it only sees one of the cards... how can i get the system to see the other card? [23:15] ikonia, this is my 2nd failed attempt.... and I have had no warnings till the boot... it installs with flying colors. [23:15] reportingsjr: thats a webserver, not an ftp server [23:15] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [23:15] Xerostyle: please see above [23:15] Wait, I just realized it was a client *smacks head* [23:15] ikonia ;) [23:16] ikonia: Because, nevermind. [23:16] ikonia, I need to be able to tweak the user which udevd mounts usb-drives. Do you know the best way to go about that? [23:16] reportingsjr: because what ? [23:16] Aeleon: sorry, i'm having a hard time understanding the network config... are the 2 pc's to be vpn'd remotely separated over a distance? [23:16] they're all up [23:16] reportingsjr: take my advice with a grain of salt, but vsftp is pretty nice [23:16] ! wifi [23:16] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:16] nd1: udev must be run as root [23:16] I thought apache would have to be dealing with the ftp. Apparently not. [23:16] reportingsjr, do you want to offer files, grab files, what are you wanting FTP for ? [23:16] debatem1: Ok, thanks! [23:16] Xerostyle, read up a bit , ubotu finaly kicked in [23:16] reportingsjr: no, it's a webserver, nothing more [23:16] Aeleon: (tring to find out if vpn is necessary) [23:16] neverblue: You know what, I need to look up on this a bit more. Sorry about that! [23:16] reportingsjr, you are attempting to run apache, correct ? [23:17] KlrSpz: 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] Aeleon: 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_forward [23:17] reportingsjr, and you want to access your files, to add/change/remove from your webserver [23:17] <_moro_bana_> Jack_Sparrow: aha [23:17] aeleon: ssh tunneling, if an option, is usually easier than a pptp solution [23:17] Aeleon: ok i see [23:17] reportingsjr, you can do such tasks via ssh [23:17] !ssh [23:17] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ === kavok is now known as kavok2 [23:17] hi all! [23:18] !hi | yago [23:18] Ubuntu was updating like 150 packages and it seems frozen on configuring cupsys [23:18] KlrSpz + debatem1 : Well I can successfully SSH to my ubuntu box, but I don't quite know how to tunnel with it. I mean, I do, [23:18] later [23:18] I've actually read up on those. [23:18] ikonia, any tips? so far I am manually partitioning a 500 GB drive because my BIOS is too old to see it. [23:18] but it's not quite what I'd imagined. Sorry, premature enter pressing. [23:18] Thge details shows * Starting common unix printring sytsem: cupsd [23:18] Unfortunately, I don't understand why it doesn't work === WikiMan is now known as MatthewV [23:18] yago: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [23:18] What do I do? [23:18] It sees the cards [23:18] ikonia, i got the grub error 18 the first install [23:18] It's not muted [23:18] aeleon: google ssh. there are a TON of GREAT references on ssh out there [23:18] reportingsjr, we are just here to 'try' and help :) [23:18] Aeleon: yeah you don't want tunnelling, you want an actual network formed between remote pc's to play games together and stuff right? [23:18] Xerostyle, in menu > system > prefs > sound, second tab I think make sure that the proper audio card is selected for each sound events type thingy [23:18] Bakefy: I suggest you make a small 200 meg /boot partition [23:18] hey 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 stoppe [23:19] klrspz: 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] Aeleon: either way, can you do the sudo line i pasted, and if that fails give me the error, as well as output for doing an LS on the file as well [23:19] ikonia, do you know how udevd decides what user to mount usb-drives as? [23:19] KlrSpz: well, it'd just be me. I want to use my home network since it's set up to do everything I want, instead of my uni connection, which has ever port blocked. [23:19] later folks [23:19] What do I do if an update freezes? [23:19] KlrSpz: I did it, and bash says "Permission Denied". [23:19] nd1: its root - it has to be root, it's root only [23:19] can some1 tell me if this will work with linux (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8454638&st=network+adapter&lp=3&type=product&cp=1&id=1184369369644) [23:20] Aeleon: give me an ls reading on it [23:20] ikonia, so would that be a primary partition? [23:20] Bakefy: doesn't matter [23:20] KlrSpz: .. ls? :| (sorry for being ignorant.) [23:20] I cant find any tips at cups.org or google or anywhere else. any tips to address this usb printer would be much appreciated [23:20] Bakefy: but I would make it one === tyczek_ is now known as Tyczek [23:21] twavisdegwet: A) probably not and B) man your name is hard to spell. funny, though [23:21] Aeleon: list? LS [23:21] lowercased [23:21] twavisdegwet: http://tinyurl.com/2b2q8z [23:21] Anyone? [23:21] What do I do if an update freezes? [23:21] kavok2: ctrl+c if in cli, kill the app otherwise and redo the update process [23:21] if the server is down, it should time out... if it FROZE, then it might be a fluke [23:22] ikonia, When i'm logged in as nd1, and i insert a usb stick, it is mounted with permissions so nd1 can read it. How does it decide that nd1 can use it over other logged in users? [23:22] i'm about to take off for the night... work is about over [23:22] It says that everything should work, just nothing is working [23:22] KlSpz: its frozen on Starting common unix printing system: cupsd [23:22] i am connecting to the internet using by a USB model. everything works weill for a few seconds but then connection stops. any help? [23:22] KlrSpz: a list on which directory? .. is ip_forward a directory or a file? or do you want an ls on ipv4? [23:22] (I'm really embarrassed right now.) [23:22] KlrSpz: its frozen on Starting common unix printing system: cupsd [23:22] nd1: the permissons are probably 775 which means anyone can read it [23:22] ikonia so I need the primary "/" and the "/boot" and the extended "/something" [23:22] nd1: also your logged into the desktop and hal/dbus are aware of your user [23:22] Aeleon: ls works on all files.. do this: ls /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [23:22] Bakefy: you don't "need" anyhting [23:22] kavok2: that's not an update, that's starting a service [23:22] how do I kill a terminal? [23:22] oh! [23:23] Bakefy: make 3 partitions 1 /boot 2 / 3 swap [23:23] hey room [23:23] hey Tigerplug [23:23] KlrSpz: Its during "Configuring cupsys" [23:23] kavok2: if that's PART of an update... theeeenn.... all i can say is kill the update, and restart cupsd yourself [23:23] aeleon: don't take this as an insult, but you probably shouldnt mess with /proc if you don't know what you're doing [23:23] ikonia, thanks man! thats what im gonna do, I really apprecaite you help and understanding. [23:23] kavok2: something in your config is probably holding it up [23:23] KlrSpz: I dont know how to kill the update ctrl+c does nothing [23:23] Bakefy: it's fine [23:23] debatem1: i agree, but I figure there's no better way to figure it out than to jump in, yeah? [23:23] how do I configure ubuntu to use emerald-theme-manager? [23:24] kavok2: use ps to find the pid, and use kill to destroy the application [23:24] KlrSpz: it just repeats the directory back to me. [23:24] Aeleon: do an ls -la /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward and paste the output, i wanna see perms [23:24] aeleon: this particular feature is pretty safe, but dont mess with any others unless told to by someone who does understand it. you can REALLY screw up your system that way [23:25] is there some kind of disk defrag option in ubuntu? [23:25] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-01-08 17:59 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [23:25] any help with emerald-theme-manager? [23:25] root can write to ir Aeleon [23:25] jeez, it's raining like hell here in London. [23:25] it* [23:25] neverblue: but only root? [23:25] Good evening [23:25] Aeleon: ok that looks good.. i wonder if sudo is jacked... [23:25] aeleon: thus, sudo [23:25] Aeleon: yes only root.. which is why you use sudo [23:25] Aeleon, read that URL I posted for you, please [23:25] debatem1: but sudo doesn't do it either. [23:25] but i've seen where sudo will not work with echo very well [23:25] neverblue: I did. [23:26] KlrSpz: I can't open a terminal [23:26] ikonia, ahh, so you're saying it determines it based on what hal/dbus know? You're right, i'm signed in, but i have multiple users signed into a graphical environment on this pc. Right now it mounts it with permissions for only the one user though. ie: (rw,nosuid,nodev,shortname=mixed,uid=1001,utf8,umask=077,usefree) [23:26] klrspz: really? do you know why? [23:26] try this.. do "sudo -i" then run that echo.. keep in mind this is actually logging you in as root and is not supported [23:26] !root | Aeleon [23:26] Aeleon: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:26] !supportroot [23:26] We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [23:26] so i don't support it, but it will most likely get you around your problem [23:26] nd1: your on the console [23:26] I am attempting to install mplayer from source after compiling it as a .deb package using fakeroot. However, when I attempt to install i with dpkg -i, I receive a message saying "upgrade refused". Why would I receive this message? [23:26] haha. [23:26] any graphic designers around? [23:27] How do I close the update manager if a terminal won';t come up [23:27] k31th: sure, waht do you need? [23:27] enkidu_ak, ask in #mplayer ? [23:27] kavok2: press ALT+F2 [23:27] * bluefox83 wonders why in the world someone would intentionally compile mplayer when they could install it from a regular .deb [23:27] kavok2: do you get a Run dialog with Alt-F2? [23:27] kavok2: otherwise if THAT won't come up, seem slike your OS is frozen, try to restart X with CTRL+ALT+BKSPC [23:27] soundray: no [23:27] bluefox83: for optimizations etc [23:27] KlrSpz: My OS isn't frozen [23:27] neverblue: I can ask in mplayer, yes, but I think this is relating more to dpkg conflicts than to the mplayer binary. After all, it compiled successfully. [23:28] Hello to all [23:28] KlrSpz: a logo, willing to pay. [23:28] kavok2: sorry, mean to say WM [23:28] KlrSpz: like I can bring up the power management applet [23:28] kavok2: I'd follow KlrSpz's suggestion then and try a Ctrl-Alt-Backspace [23:28] k31th: ah i don't do much sidework like that.. but what are we talkin? [23:28] KlrSpz: and the text editor [23:28] KlrSpz: what's gksudo? [23:28] bluefox83: Because I wanted amr-nb support [23:28] soundray & klrspz: ctrl alt bckspace does nothing :( [23:29] Aeleon: a gnome and kde wrapper to sudo for launching apps via a shortcut to prompt them [23:29] no help? [23:29] whats amr-nb? [23:29] anybody know of a server that permits the safe execution of one of a small number of programs, requires authorization, and does not require suid, sgid, or devices inside of its chroot? [23:29] Jeez, you're handling everybody tonight, KlrSpz. I can wait 'til you're free-er, if that's alright. [23:29] Should I just restart the machine? [23:29] hrrmm [23:29] debatem1: xinetd ? [23:29] bluefox83: It's an audio codec that is used by many devices, cellphones in particular. [23:29] ok, so I'm afraid of sudo -i now. [23:29] kavok2: ok... odd... try ALT+CTRL+F1 to drop to a TTY, log in as your user, and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [23:29] Could anyone kidnly help me with a little problem? My friend downloaded 7.10, iso'd it on a CD. When he boots it on his computer everything is alright except when it starts He is queried for a Username and password. I told him to enter ubuntu as login and " " as password. He momentarily sees the desktop and then the computer reboots to the log in screen [23:29] kavok2: I suspect your keyboard is frozen then. Add the Force-Quit applet to the panel and use that to terminate the update manager [23:30] enkidu_ak, ah..neat [23:30] FlintPearce the livecd does not ask for a username and password [23:30] ikonia: i admit my ignorance of the superserver, but can even run it in a nosuid environment? [23:30] debatem1: sure [23:30] soundray: that might be it, my caps lock key won't light up anything [23:30] Aeleon: it's not bad.. just that you'll BE root, so be careful with deleting files, and just know that starting applications such as pidgin/irssi and anything that communicates is taboo as it can lead to vulnerabilities [23:30] debatem1: xinetd is run as root, however the program it launches can run as anyone [23:30] soundray: how do I do that [23:30] KlrSpz, so if I sudo -i, do I enable myself as root until I disable it again? [23:30] Aeleon: i really have to take off.. i apologize [23:30] bluefox83: If I could get away with the mplayer from the ubuntu or medibuntu source, I would gladly do so. amr-nb isn't supported by either build, though. [23:31] Hmm strange. He deffinately gets ask for a username and pass [23:31] Aww, no problem, KlrSpz. Thanks for everything. [23:31] FlintPearce: then he's not using an ubuntu cd [23:31] Aeleon: yeah.. once logged in, you can use "exit" to go back to your user [23:31] kavok2: try ALT+PRINTSCR+R then CTRL+ALT+F1 [23:31] kavok2: right-click the panel, select Add to Panel, find the ForceQuit applet in the list and add it [23:31] Ok I shall try to help him again, thanks Ikonia :D [23:31] ikonia: thats not really an option, unfortunately. i have student penetration testers- aka the end users from hell- using this system [23:31] enkidu_ak, and you had to recompile it from source to add that support? that sucks :( [23:31] Aeleon: i'll try to log on when i get home, but no promises [23:31] I am trying to remove a folder and everytime it throws back, "Cannot remove 'filename': is a directory" [23:32] kavok2: or listen to thann0y [23:32] my hdd clicks and will not be recognized [23:32] debatem1: why is that an issue ? [23:32] bluefox83: It does :( [23:32] (one last one) BlackCow: rm -rf /path/to/folder [23:32] what does this mean is it toaste? [23:32] KlrSpz: Safe trip. :] [23:32] OUT [23:32] enkidu_ak, vlc wouldn't work with it? [23:32] soundray: that didnt work either lol [23:32] soundray: the force quit did [23:32] thank you :-) [23:32] Aeleon: here is a workaround for redirection as root... sudo bash-c "echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" [23:32] soundray: but not the printscreen thing [23:32] Aeleon: here is a workaround for redirection as root..errr... sudo bash -c "echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" [23:33] ikonia: 'cause i have to lock it down or the little snots tear it up for me, and they have limited admin rights [23:33] debatem1: they won't be able to do anything with it then ? [23:33] kavok2: you may have to hold Ctrl and Alt and PrtScrn (SysRq), then hit R [23:33] debatem1: they can't mofidfy xinetd as thats root - and you can tell it to launch the programs you want as any user you want [23:33] what's that gonna do, astro76? Is that going to avoid putting me in root? [23:33] debatem1: you can even chroot them [23:33] Aeleon: one more time, need ' instead of " because you are using " already... sudo bash -c 'echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward' [23:34] Aeleon: yes [23:34] I 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] Aeleon: jsut for the command like sudo [23:34] soundray: it looks like im going to have to forcefully restart the computer [23:34] kavok2: try a "soft" shutdown using the Quit icon first [23:34] bluefox83: 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] soundray: the quit icon wont activate [23:34] sometimes an update will destroy my ubuntu ? [23:34] ill slog through it for awhile [23:34] ikonia: 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 root [23:35] astro76: but I won't have to worry about deleting stuff by accident and messing my whole pc up, right? :P [23:35] hi everybody [23:35] my task manager looks like a line in my task bar, after i upgrade something today [23:35] debatem1: there is no setuid action and xinetd is run ass root, so it's totally safe [23:35] Aeleon: if you trust me I guess ;) [23:35] kavok2: 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] astro76: oh, that makes me nervous! [23:36] debatem1: I can assure you it's a secure method, a lot of the banks of england use it....it's secure [23:36] oh my gooses, it did it! [23:36] Hi there i need help applying a patch for my esata controller so that it supports the port multiplier function [23:36] I need a help : I enabled restricted drivers to obtain 3d accel on my laptop, I have a ATI Xpress 200, but now when I close the gnome-session I can't use gdm again, and I must reboot. waht can I do? [23:37] Thank you, astro76! [23:37] you're welcome ;) [23:37] <]RandoM[> i can't seem to ssh into my computer which sits behind a router although i have the port forwarded.. i can only ssh from my laptop if i connect via 192.168.0.x or from the same computer using localhost.. but no luck otherwise [23:38] ikonia: eh, im being paranoid, I know- but i would be much more comfortable if it did not run as root [23:38] Random: Can you ping the machine? [23:38] my system monitor icon in task bar displayed as a line ? what's gone wrong ? [23:38] 7.04 [23:38] Ramdom: Check /var/log/message on your remote host [23:39] i feel like a totally noob here but, why is it that I cannot copy and paste folders and files through the GUI? [23:39] debatem1: then you need to write daemons to run as non-privileged users [23:39] i am using kubuntu, so i should probably take it to the kubuntu channel [23:40] ]RandoM[: yes that's normal, you can only use the external IP from outside [23:40] ]RandoM[: unless your router support something sometimes called "nat reflection" [23:40] ]RandoM[: otherwise the router just sends the request out to your gateway, never to return [23:40] BlackCow: you're probably trying to write to system folders. You're only supposed to write data to your $HOME folder, and nowhere else [23:40] BlackCow: How are you trying to copy and paste? [23:40] ]RandoM[: sounds like the port was incorrectly forwarded [23:40] ]RandoM[: who makes your router? [23:40] and 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] BlackCow: And... what happens when you try? [23:40] ikonia: 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 case [23:40] jesus christ mega flood! [23:40] through the GUI, right click on a folder in the main directory, go over to a users directory and paste is grayed out [23:41] I want to find out what hardware is best to buy knowing I will be running Ubuntu on it.

[23:41] the delete and paste option are always grayed out [23:41] BlackCow: Do you have permissions to the folders and directories? Both of them?

[23:48] soundray: i'll install xserver-xgl ? [23:48] Slart, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51275/ [23:48] slipttees: no! [23:48] checking for gcc bug PR28045... configure: error: your compiler has gcc PR28045 bug, use a different compiler, see http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28045. any idea how i could fix this ? (ubuntu says gcc is already the newest version) [23:48] soundray: ok [23:49] * slipttees stop download of xser....xgl [23:49] AdemoS: I'll read it as soon as it's finished downloading it [23:49] slipttees: I asked because it can cause this problem [23:49] protoloco: gutsy and hardy [23:49] so if im using gutsy and i install a hardy package [23:49] could i have troubles ? [23:49] anyone here have any experience running solaris along w/ ubuntu? [23:49] the package if ultramonkey [23:49] Slart, thanks sorry about the wait [23:49] EvaLuaTe: dont use gcc? [23:49] redrobin: that would be a downgrade, fyi [23:49] so yeah, i guess im not allowed to copy a file over heh... google is not much help [23:49] jshriverOH: Ubuntu server also has a specialized server kernel that adds support for up to 64gb of ram on PAE processors. It also does not support restricted drivers (proprietary stuff) [23:49] ? [23:49] soundray: ask :-) [23:49] AdemoS: no worries.. it's not like I spend time here because I'm in a hurry to do something else =) [23:50] Slart, :P [23:50] nvm I got it [23:50] * cubexombi grumbles about odd ralink chipsets and drivers that aren't ndiswrapper [23:50] kriel, i'm trying to install something (ispconfig) and that program itself installs some other programs using gcc. [23:50] this is really weird. sometimes, i think when i click out of the konversation window, when i click back into the konversation client, a huge wall of text, like messages, will scroll down [23:50] I had to chmod 777 -R the folder, thanks for ur help [23:50] fallore- how is it a downgrade im going from 7.10 to 8.04? [23:50] how do I add or find something to put in sources.list? right now all it has is 1 CD [23:50] ikonia: I have looked there but that just tells me how good ubuntu is at supporting stuff. I want to know how good manufacturers are at supporting ubuntu :). And support those that have been helpful. [23:50] !hardy | redrobin [23:50] also how do you find out what device a cdrom is on? [23:50] checked dmesg but doent say. [23:50] Hi Guys i need some help applying a patch so that my esata controller card will support PM [23:50] can I just scp my sources.list from my 7.10 desktop to a 7.10 server? [23:50] redrobin: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [23:51] What is this audio player called? It looks like (from what I've seen) xmms/winamp and starts with an a? [23:51] redrobin: hmm, i think i was confused, i'm sorry :[ [23:51] slipttees: it's possible that an error message is logged to /home/newuser/.xsession-errors (replace newuser with the real username) [23:51] patogen: audacious [23:51] jshriverOH, can you ssh into the server? [23:51] yeah [23:51] jshriverOH, then yes [23:51] soundray: Ah thank you :) [23:51] just installed openserver-ssh or whatever [23:51] does anyone here have any experience running solaris along w/ ubuntu? [23:51] can someone help me resolve why I can unmute (and then monitor) my microphone but not record with it or use it with ekiga? [23:51] jshriverOH, time to give 'man scp' a look over [23:51] everything in alsamixer looks fine. [23:52] AdemoS: I didn't see anything special in there.. I don't know what those 10 or so lines with "INBOUND" is all about... might be some firewall logging.. [23:52] Arc, usb ? [23:52] fallore- how do I upgrade to hardy. I have gutsy installed and I want to try the testing release of hardy. [23:52] neverblue: no, PCI. [23:52] !hardy | redrobin [23:52] redrobin: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [23:52] !hardy > redrobin (redrobin, see the private message from Ubotu) [23:52] Slart, yeah I have Firestarter installed [23:52] Arc, just using it in Ekiga ? [23:52] soundray: i can paste in PM ? [23:52] hmm, my quit-applet does a instant logout if I click it (gnome) anyone any idea how to trace the problem? [23:52] neverblue: I just tried using it with sound recorder. it recorded nothing. [23:52] slipttees: no, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [23:53] redrobin: this is a link that seems to explain it: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron/Alpha1 [23:53] neverblue: the microphone is turned all the way up and capture is permanetly turned on (I can't unset it) [23:53] Slart, I don't really get the difference between recovery mode and non-recovery mode. I have all my settings here, the only differerence is I see a ton of text in the terminal... [23:53] Arc, you want to point your specific application to the location of the device [23:53] tomtt: most of the products that are supported support/contribute to open source [23:53] redrobin: specifically it says "To upgrade from Ubuntu 7.10, run "update-manager -d" using the update-manager package from gutsy." but i'm sure the'res more [23:53] Can anyone help me with applying a patch to my system? [23:53] neverblue: they're pointed to ALSA. There is no other ALSA device on the system. [23:53] soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51277/ [23:54] Arc does the mic/card work, have they been tested (hardware) ? [23:54] neverblue: The microphone WORKS FOR MONITOR. That is, when I unmute it, I can hear myself immediatly through the speakers. [23:54] AdemoS: I'm not really sure either.. some extra debug info is one thing [23:54] neverblue: thus, the hardware must be functioning. [23:55] Arc sure, thats a good assumption to make [23:55] Slart, well is there anything else I can give you to check? [23:55] Could anyone tell me a little thing that keeps happening to me when i open new windows? When i open them for some reason they go off the screen at the top.. and i keep having to drag them to the center of the screen? any idea [23:55] Arc, not sure I can offer any more suggestions, sorry [23:55] neverblue: this is certainly an issue with ALSA somewhere. I just cant figure out what or where. I really wish that Ubuntu's ekiga was built to use OSS so I could try that. [23:56] AdemoS: there is a kernel log too... /var/log/kern.log [23:56] what's the command to view hex output for keyboard? [23:56] soundray: then ? have solution ? [23:56] Arc, maybe Twinkle, it allows OSS (I think) [23:56] Can anyone help me with applying a patch to my system? [23:56] Slart, okay pasting now [23:56] neverblue: what is Twinkle? [23:56] Doonz, patch for ? [23:56] slipttees: there's clearly something wrong with your setup, but I don't know what it is, sorry. You could ask the channel again or post to ubuntuforums [23:56] is there any wa to upgrade my version of gcc if apt says it is already the newest version ? [23:56] Arc, something like Ekiga :) [23:57] soundray: thx a lot [23:57] ;-) [23:57] EvaLuaTe: there's always a way.. I'm not sure it's a nice way with lots of restaurants and good scenery though [23:57] nix'neverblue its for libata so that my esata controller supports port multiplier [23:57] opapo, list [23:57] Slart, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51278/ [23:58] what is a good linux compatable network adapter that can be found at bestbuy? [23:58] EvaLuaTe: I wouldn't try updating gcc outside of the official repos unless I had a very very good reason [23:58] Slart, could you please give me some links or resources where i could read about this please ? as i'm pretty new to linux and i don't know how to accomplish this [23:58] I keep hearing that webmin is the way to go... can you pretty much do everything once that is installed/ [23:58] EvaLuaTe: don't force cutting-edge software into a stable Ubuntu release. You could run the alpha release of hardy (gcc 4.2.2) or switch to Debian Sid [23:58] Slart, i'm trying to install a program, and i won't install because gcc's version is too old (it's containing a bug [23:58] ) [23:58] EvaLuaTe: if you're new to linux I must again recommend you to "stay on the path"... why do you want to upgrade gcc? any special reason? [23:59] EvaLuaTe: what program is that? [23:59] How much performance can I suppose to get while emulating windows? I only need to run small apps (that reads from database files) [23:59] Slart, ispconfig [23:59] anyone know how to run ghost32.exe on linux ubuntu? [23:59] EvaLuaTe: what version of gcc do you need? [23:59] wine is for windows, so looking for a dos on linux cmd
