[00:00] utty, good to hear :) [00:00] Hi #ubuntu, I read that I should do: connect by clicking on the network applet > Dial Up Connections > Connect to ppp0 via Modem. I think I know what the network applet is, but it only displays visible wireless networks + connect to other wireless + create new wireless + manual configuration, nothing about dialup connections. Any suggestions? This is driving me crazy since it's supposed to be the more obvious part of the thing I'm tryin [00:00] b0lland: do you have the drivers for your dial-up modem installed? [00:01] twavisdegwet If the inf is fine it has a device ID inside it that matches you network interface, ndiswrapper just uses this, so when u plug in your nic the device id is read and ndiswrapper does its thing [00:01] mahout: not sure, I've followed the instructions here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3654996#post3654996 and ls /dev/ttyUSB* gives me two usb-devs, one of which is supposed to be my modem. Maybe that's an answer to your question [00:01] neverblue, lol wrong person [00:02] Hello, azureus tried to update itself earlier and now crashes every time i run it as a user (it works as root from some reason) the message im getting is data missing /tmp/azupdater-1.8.3.zip [00:02] g0rb3hy: alright then i must've screwd something up.. i'll try an older driver.. [00:02] alright well i'm gonna go back on ubuntu and see if i can apply the info just taught to me thank you everyone [00:02] does ubuntu support hdmi output? [00:02] so i've got a laptop which has a broken install of windows, no blank cds, a usb drive (but not a bootable from usb mobo) and ubuntu [00:02] how can i get ubuntu on the machine right now [00:02] lol [00:02] !install | joshuamc [00:02] joshuamc: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

What should I make of this? I don't get it, the file displays fairly correctly. I have some other logs (.xml) and those aren't displayed correctly, as all the special characters are displayed in ascii. a period is %3 for example so there are [00:04] symbols.... Any idea? [00:04] hmm i think ill just download azupdater-1.8.3.zip as root then whack it in /tmp and see what happens [00:05] Evolution just freeze on me, I had to kill it..is there any way/log I can see what wet wrong?

[00:07] ugh... this is so frustrating. I can't find any directions on how to automount an encrypted partition using pammount. Not for gutsy at least. Everything is about encrypting your home directory. And it's old. like Edgy old. Any good links on how to use pam?

[00:39] well scguy318 cuz i'd ubuntu cd..... and it has not extra repositories [00:39] twavisdegwet: no, it'll show kernel messages when ndiswrapper is loaded [00:39] hanophix33: if u do use a usb wireless adapter don't get 2wire.. that's my problem for the past week [00:39] twavisdegwet: lspci gives you dev id [00:39] i wanted kde for it... i went to kde website and downloaded the source code lol [00:39] what software/drivers should i install to get my fingerprint reader working? [00:39] hanophix33: probably not. A better antenna might. [00:40] scguy318: ndiswrapper didn't accept that devid isn't there something thats in this format 1630:FF81 [00:40] soundray: when i connect to that SSID for the minute, NetworkManager says my signal it like 50% [00:40] soundray: that NM freezes [00:40] hanophix33: I solved a similar problem here by adding a "windsurfer" parabolic mirror to the router antenna [00:40] before that.. i looked for the kde on packages.ubuntu.com... but there were alot of packages :( with that name... i didn't know what to do [00:41] How to configure the network from bash? [00:41] hanophix33: http://www.freeantennas.com/projects/template2/index.html [00:41] adrenergic: just install kubuntu-desktop package [00:41] soundray: this is a college wireless network [00:41] dtolj: edit /etc/network/interfaces [00:41] Any here have VirtualBox ? [00:41] twavisdegwet: can't you get from ndiswrapper -l? [00:42] hanophix33: are you connecting with a laptop? Builtin WLAN? [00:42] u mean .... apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ... right astro76 [00:42] and how much is it :/ [00:42] soundray: yes [00:42] adrenergic: yeah or synaptic [00:42] soundray: I have seen that, is there a specific howto on what goes in there? [00:42] adrenergic: what do you mean "how much"? it's free [00:43] dtolj: try "man interfaces" and ask again if anything is still unclear [00:43] i mean... size [00:43] lol [00:43] hi evryone how to view all my connected devices on ubuntu gutsy? [00:43] hello [00:43] guys, looking for an opinion on how stable hardy is [00:43] adrenergic: I don't know [00:43] hanophix33: what chipset? [00:43] i am new to ubuntu. I just came from windows [00:43] soundray: thanks [00:43] sparco: hello, have you a question? [00:44] ailean: my opinion is, probably not as stable as you'd like [00:44] yes. I just installed kopete and it appears that all my friends are offline [00:44] adrenergic: do a 'sudo apt-get -s install kubuntu-desktop' for a dry run. It should tell you how big the installation will be [00:44] adrenergic: a couple hundred meg to get kubuntu-desktop [00:44] if I need to run fsck on my Ubuntu install drive can I boot from the LiveCD and run it from there ? [00:44] Carbonflux: yes [00:44] thanks :) [00:44] !fsck | Carbonflux [00:44] Carbonflux: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [00:44] sparco: mm, maybe they're all...offline :P [00:45] scguy318, was alpha 3 released today? [00:45] hi all is it possible to partition my HD in half without deleting the OS on it????????????????????? [00:45] !hardy | ailean [00:45] ailean: 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 [00:45] ailean: not sure, #ubuntu+1 would probably know [00:45] no. i am chatting with someone LOL but its showing in the list that he's offline [00:45] hello [00:45] any here are able to share a folder from ubuntu to Virtualbox OS Windows ? [00:45] ah great, thanks astro76 [00:45] If I have three partitions, one with root, one with /home, and the other swap, and I reinstall only formatting and reinstalling over root, I'll reinstall without screwing up or losing any of my data, correct? [00:45] nickrud... and can i download it in divided sessions :/ [00:45] it works weel in pidgin though [00:45] i mean i am on dialup [00:45] hi all is it possible to partition my HD in half without deleting the OS on it????????????????????? [00:45] sparco: might be some issue with Kopete, Pidgin might be your cup of tea [00:45] and... it'll take days to download it :s [00:45] Rattts: yes [00:45] how? [00:45] mnemonica, correct. [00:46] Rattts: no need to spam with question marks [00:46] Jowi: Amazing. cool.. Thank you. [00:46] Rattts: GPartEd [00:46] i dont like pidgin because it doesnt support webcam [00:46] Rattts: make sure to backup beforehand [00:46] I'm creating an user account for someone who is not here right now, and who I won't be in touch with when they use this computer next. Is it possible to make the account have no password but require the user to change it on their first login? [00:46] Rattts: use gparted. Best to boot off a live CD [00:46] Hi there, If I have ubuntu installed, how can I install the KDE desktop? [00:46] thanx [00:46] Rattts: So log as the part with data does not have more info on it than the space you want to shrink it down to [00:46] phoenixz: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [00:46] adrenergic: I know all about dialup, lived at the bottom of the 3k for a long time. do sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop , and when you're tired of downloading hit ctl-c. Repeat as desired, you can restart the download without wasting what you got before [00:46] phoenixz: install the kubuntu-desktop package [00:46] Soundray: Intersil prism2 [00:47] hm, sure did it fast heh [00:47] I also have 2 gig of data on the drive tho heh [00:47] adrenergic: if you can let it run overnight, it'll take at most two nights [00:47] Rattts: Also if you are shrinking some ntfs partition make sure from windows to do a chkdsk on it first to have the filesystem marked clean [00:47] scguy318, astra_ Thanks lots! [00:47] hanophix33: that's well supported. Maybe you can check the internal antenna connections and/or connect an external one. [00:47] yeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy nickrud.... [00:47] I saw a package called "ubuntu-laptop-mode" in the repos. Can anyone recommend this package? [00:47] so u mean.. i don't have to restart it from the beginning [00:48] wowwwww... ubuntu rules :p [00:48] soundray: I saw that its supported, but I cant even get WPA to work.....

[00:48] soundray: And does checking internal connections require a entire laptop disassembly? [00:48] why would php under ubuntu segfault when trying to do the following: 1); ?> [00:48] I just installed kubuntu-desktop from aptitude and kde fails to load. Something about some configuration "k name" type stuff. [00:48] anyone knows how the livecdn creates the livecd account "ubuntu"?, or ratherwhere its settings comes from?

Can anyone help me? [00:49] When i try and Install a package, [00:49] hanophix33: it depends on how accessible your miniPCI slot is. In some laptops, you have to undo just a single screw, in some you have to lift the keyboard... [00:49] ader10... u mean kde doesn't work on :/ ubuntu [00:49] it says locked?

[00:50] x9x perhaps check /etc/skel of the livecd [00:50] I put some settings in /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/ when I modified the livecd but ubuntu just ignores them... there must be some source of the settings the ubuntu-acount gets? [00:50] soundray: I was right next to MY router which was configured for WPA and no luck [00:50] ok... I check /etc/skel [00:50] ader10: that's not a very useful error report [00:51] Riddell: would you help me if I gave you a more informative one [00:51] x9x: Also /etc/adduser.conf [00:51] When i try and Install a package, [00:51] it says locked? [00:51] http://pastebin.com/m3df76c08 [00:51] tyler: some apt program is already running [00:51] Can anyone please help me? :( [00:51] hanophix33: maybe the way forward is a USB adapter. Get one from a vendor that will exchange it if you find it not well supported. [00:52] genii, ok [00:52] !dvd | harmen [00:52] harmen: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [00:52] hanophix33: the ultracheap ones with a zd1211rw chipset tend to work, as do the Netgear and Belkin ones.

[00:56] joedj: boot with init=/bin/bash [00:56] Yes, RAM [00:56] x9x: anyway, the screensaver shouldn't interfere with the burning process [00:56] But, that's only temporary. [00:57] After you shut down, restart, it goes bye bye [00:57] erawfish: thanks, will try [00:57] expl0it: yes, I am aware of that.

[00:59] Can someone possibly help me with VPN? I've been trying to get it to work correctly for several weeks now with no luck at all :/ [00:59] * genii spins Dr_willis in circles ! [00:59] Kasplatt, the game has a 'fish-eye view' and you climb walls and stuff..

WHY OMG [01:02] expl0it, as in oh-my-godess? :) [01:02] joedj: hit 'e' instead [01:02] expl0it, you could at least summarize the problem a bit. Not all of us have web browsers or want to go to a site to just read a Q. [01:02] I have a .pcf profile for Cisco VPN. Is this file incompatible with the linux versions of VPN client? [01:02] http://pastebin.com/m3df76c08 [01:02] I uploaded the log. [01:02] It says like locked [01:02] DIL: Also here is my fstab: http://pastebin.com/m17e827a8 [01:02] joedj: and change the "kernel" line, appending init=/bin/bash (grub shows instructions on screen) [01:02] soundray: thanks, will try [01:03] joedj, "e" to edit the entry. "e" again at the kernel line to edit that line. add what soundray said. press Enter and "b" to boot. [01:03] i was trying to compile xchat-2.8.4 for 6.06 & it requires i guess gtk 2.0.7 or greater something like that & i guess it has 2.0.3 in packages.ubuntu.com... what should i do [01:03] expl0it: so I can only store as many files as my RAM allows ? [01:03] Yes. [01:03] if i run xev, and when i scroll my wheel up it doesn't produce anything in the terminal, does that mean its a mouse problem or ubuntu problem? i recently edited my xorg.conf to get the side buttons to work so it's possibly i broke something [01:05] when i click on tremulous, the screen flashes black, and nothing happens [01:05] so i have 4Gb of ram installed, but it is only showing up as 3.2 in linux. is it really because I'm using a 32bit os? [01:05] fallore, just make sure there is a line in xorg.conf that say Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" (that is the scrollwheel mapping) [01:05] matt___: yes [01:05] Is there a dpkg or apt-get command that will list packages that have been explicitly installed on a system? I.e. I don't want the list to include dependencies. === Luke_ is now known as Luke [01:06] soundray: so switching to a 64bit os will solve it? even though i have a 32bit processor? [01:06] matt___: no. You can't run a 64bit OS on a 32bit CPU [01:06] Harmen, try mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 [01:06] Jowi: can i send you my mouse bit of xorg.conf? it has what you said but i'm not sure if any of the other things are right [01:07] Jowi: i can pastebin it if you'd like [01:07] Harmen, or mount /dev/scd1 /media/cdrom1 [01:07] soundray: well...that's what i was figuring...however i've heard of people doing it...but i think it causes some problems. so is there any workaround so that i can use all the ram? [01:07] Can anyone give me any clues as to why this would be happening? [01:07] matt___: I'm not aware of any. [01:07] soundray: i've heard compiling my own kernel will do it... [01:07] matt___: no, forget it [01:08] fallore, I have a standard 2 mouse button + third button scrollwheel. so I can't help with other types of mice. [01:08] Jowi: damn :/ thanks anyway [01:08] soundray: why forget it when i just bought it? that's the worst attitude i've heard anyone use on these forums............ [01:09] matt___: look, I'm helping you by telling you the truth. [01:09] I need to copy something via scp, how can I add ssh key to known_hosts? [01:09] math_b: what cpu do you have? [01:09] matt___ guess he didn't like that idea [01:09] matt___: if you dislike this attitude, then I'll shut up and let someone else tell you the same thing (or something untrue) [01:10] soundray oops...guess matt__ didn't like that idea .. he left [01:10] soundray: what relevance/good is PAE? just curious [01:10] soundray you should have let him install the 64 bit [01:10] why doesn't that connexant driver... compile on ubuntu 7.04? the driver that you have given on your community.... [01:10] why would a search show now results for xorg?

[01:43] ConstyXIV not sure...but you might check synclient [01:43] spencer70 is that windows remote desktop? [01:43] No, really, are the packages ok to use? [01:43] ConstyXIV: with touchpads which support it, it will do two finger tap for right click, and three finger tap for middle click... what does two-finger scrolling do on a macbook? [01:43] no i need to connect to my friend who is also running ubuntu [01:43] The ubuntu wiki provides little info on it [01:44] astro76: drag two fingers, you scroll in direction you're dragging [01:44] alright thanks guys I found a nice tutorial [01:44] spencer70 then you want to use either vnc or NX [01:44] Some_Person: "proposed" software is not that well tested, but it's unlikely to cause havoc. Anyway, if it does, you have a backup, don't you? [01:44] what are the ntfs drivers called? [01:44] spencer70 or you can forward X apps via an ssh tunnel [01:44] Some_Person: backports is pretty safe but I would imagine proposed is "beta" level [01:44] does anyone know where amaranth is?

[01:46] how do i change the preferences for a given screensaver? there is no longer a button to do so in the screensaver dialog [01:46] what is the right one for desktop, and how is the 64 bit stability [01:46] spencer70 there are good tutorials on vnc on the web. If you are going to do this on a regular basis you might want to look at nx from nomachine.com...it is faster, more secure, and works better over distances [01:46] Some_Person: a candidate is a package that is eligible for installation [01:46] kazol: the way to prevent people from reading your password is to store it in a file, mount the smb share from fstab and use the credentials= option to point to the file (which should have 600 permissions) [01:46] hey anyone know why my menu bars dont show up until I hold alt and drag the window then they then show up [01:46] or better ... how can i reinstall a package which is still installed?

What can i do, and do i do, to boot from the 7.4 CD- and point to my usb drive. [01:58] th0r would this port forward need to be done on mine or there computer [01:58] meeks swat works off a browser...you could access it from another computer if necessary [01:59] okay.

[01:59] nickrud: if i remember right by using the hplip off from where HP has you download the linux soft... but when i did.... it was always installing with errors for other dep. so i would install them manually.... i think part because my Ubuntu is a x64.... and some wouldn't install correctly.. [01:59] spencer70 both if you are both on wifi networks. you need port 5901 continuous from your computer to the other one [01:59] so install swat on my ubuntu laptop, right? [01:59] arnold: see also http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt [02:00] meeks I would. I drove myself crazy trying to figure out the samba config file, then discovered swat and fell in love [02:00] bobby: ok, nearly every hp printer is supported by ubuntu natively, you shouldn't need to install anything.

[02:12] jinxed- are you trying to access a windows computer? [02:12] soundray: I set the partition type using t to 83. Is there somewhere else I need to set that? [02:12] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51412/ [02:12] I cannot create the directory "Documents-Server" because it supposedly exists on my Desktop. [02:12] QuickQ: have you rebooted since you did that? [02:12] meeks there are howtos on the web that will tell you everything. There is a small edit to a /etc file, and then you access it at 'http://ocalhost:901' [02:12] th0r, no. I am trying to give someone else remote acess to my computer [02:13] alright, thanks th0r [02:13] Yes, due to the "WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 22: Invalid argument." [02:13] jinxed- they don't use remote desktop to access your computer. are they running windows or linux? [02:13] linux [02:13] bobby: just path errors. Do cd /var/cache/apt/archives , then repeat but you won't need the path, just use the deb names like you did for the last 3 [02:13] so guys what drivers do i need to install for this thing (http://tinyurl.com/2vetwn) 2Wire Wireless USB Adapter 802.11b i tired usng the offical one with ndiswrapper with no success.. i'm told it uses conexant chipset? but i'm not sure of how to install this driver. any help is appreciated. [02:14] QuickQ: your type setting doesn't seem to have worked. Recheck with cfdisk or fdisk [02:14] QuickQ, Ok, i have the .pcf file copied to /etc/opt/cisco-vpncient/Profiles/ anything else I need to do to get it to locate it or whatnot? [02:14] jinxed- then there are several ways they can access your computer, using xdmcp (not recommended), vnc (good but slow), nx (good and fast) or X forwarding in an ssh tunnel [02:14] soundray, if the file doesnt show up, can i look somewhere else on the net or something? [02:14] oi sou do brasil [02:14] !br | kurumin [02:14] kurumin: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [02:15] whats nx th0r [02:15] #join linux [02:15] cfdisk shows primary linux. [02:15] woops lol [02:15] jinxed- nx is from nomachine.com....it is like vnc but uses ssh tunnel for security and caches the desktop for speed [02:16] Ward1983: strange, I can locate it in libesd0-dev here [02:16] jinxed- nx is what I use. it takes a little config tinkering, but it is well worth it if you are going to do this on a regular basis [02:16] Need help. I am able to install gos (which is a different ubuntu distrabution) but I am not able to install ubuntu itself. Here is what I am doing. I put the disc into the drive startup and choose Ubuntu installation from the menu. I have to run it in noapic mode and always have had to. After I do this it takes me to the ubuntu loading splash screen and then goes to this error message: "udevd-event [2185]: run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' [02:16] abnormal exit". I have been able to install ubuntu before on this machine. I tried re-downloading and burning the iso as well as switching out the dvd-rom. The only thing I can think of is maybe ubuntu does not like the bios. I have updated the bios sense my last successful installation. I just cant imagine why this error message would come from that. Any ideas? [02:16] !nx [02:16] FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [02:16] th0r: ^ ^ ^ [02:16] th0r, oh this is a one time thing [02:17] soundray, let me see again (apt-get update didnt work first, some server was not responding, it seems fixed now) [02:17] jinxed- then vnc is probably your best bet [02:17] someone say my name please. I want to see if my colors works [02:18] jqk if you can settle for only two users then nx is a better bet. it is more stable, more refined, and I hear more secure. Freenx however, does allow you unlimited users [02:18] robox [02:18] olskolirc [02:18] my nic didn't show up?

[02:18] ok but my nick says olskolirc [02:18] seriously can like no1 help me with this? [02:18] th0r: Depending on what your doing .. you could go for 1) ssh , 2) vnc too. [02:19] soundray, nice to know lol, a bit more conveniant sometimes :-) [02:19] roxbox [02:19] olskolirc [02:19] ok someone say olskolirc [02:19] olskolirc [02:19] olskolirc [02:19] no color :-( [02:19] u using trillian for it? [02:19] but roxbox was colored. I wonder why [02:19] bobby: yeah, like that, but I'd hoped for better [02:20] jqk well...vnc is much slower than nx over a distance (Texas to dublin ireland). X forwarding via ssh requires linux at both ends...something I don't always have. NX works fine for either linux or windows, and well over distances (and via ssh automatically) [02:20] nickrud: lol.... i did too.. :( [02:21] th0r: I'm actually vnc'ing to a machine in states, all the way from gulf .. as we speak. [02:21] jqk oh yeah...it works. But if you get the chance to nx into it...you will never go back [02:21] can someone recommend an alarm clock for gnome? [02:22] jqk and it is all via ssh...something to consider in the gulf [02:22] th0r: I have tried nx before, it's great .. but that involves configuring on both ends .. and the person I'm vnc'ing is not that good in linux. [02:22] is there an rss gnome applet? [02:22] And waste of time, explaining . [02:23] jqk right...that is a problem. although the client doesn't require anything to speak of...but the nx server does require some tinkering [02:23] jqk, it's doesn't necessarily require configuration on the clients end, except that Java must be installed. [02:23] jqk I like the fact it uses ssh...the only port open on my server (besides http) is ssh and I moved that off 22. [02:23] has anyone of you altered the live cd iso to change the default startup page of firefox? [02:23] XiXaQ: Yes, I know.

[02:24] % ^How did the sex change operation go?^ [02:24] woops lol [02:24] I used cfdisk to reformat repartition the offending drive. I then rebooted, however fdisk -l still shows FAT16, whereas fdisk /dev/sda1 shows id83 System Linux. [02:24] twavisdegwet: Not that great, I'm afraid so. [02:24] bobby: the next step for me would be purging cups and all the things that depend on it from my system, making sure all trace if it was deleted. But this is an involved process, you might find that just doing a reinstall would be faster. [02:25] actually the terminal responds with modifier failed.. [02:25] oh ubuntu?

Have a go with vga=0x317 if your monitor supports that [02:38] For what reasons would my onboard sound card not show up in lspci or device manager? [02:38] soundray: maybe i wrote it the wrong way: i wrote vga=771 and not vga=0x771?! [02:38] arnold: that's different. Have you looked at the link? [02:39] masterchef: disabled in BIOS? [02:39] okay i'm buying that net gear thing [02:39] we all know that "buying" means when the device is shorter than 2 inches though :D [02:39] Probably a relatively important bug: http://pastebin.com/m4197b4c1 (might or might not be, but it seems to be a big one to me) [02:39] soundray: yes, but i thought vga=771 would be correct, since on google sonme menu.lst's were that way... [02:39] soundray: i checked that. its enabled. not sure what other bios options would interfere [02:40] wireless is just something i can't figure out. [02:40] arnold: it is correct [02:40] twavisdegwet: I don't. [02:40] sdc in grub speak is hd3?

(and how did you know I just sat back down :) [02:46] masterchef: there could be a PCI resource conflict, too.

[03:15] hi, i see, to be having a problem. i had a problem that i couldnt resolve, so i decided i would make a new partition, put a new install of kubuntu on it then keep the old partition (because it has aboue 100gb of data on it) and i could just use it as my /home directory and have the new partiton for the OS only. so i installed it, and now it wont boot up. it keeps booting up to the old OS (on the old partiton) how can i fix this? [03:15] soundray: Wait... Its working [03:15] Ryuki: what file did you download? [03:15] Then tell mwe the steps, their steps were so confused. [03:15] !flash | TuxOtaku [03:15] TuxOtaku: 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 [03:15] 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. [03:15] Tramp: Windows 98 is on it, as well as a version of Linux [03:15] flash_player_linux_9tar.gz? [03:16] nickrud: ok... just blue.... [03:16] Ryuki: ok... [03:16] Tramp: can you look after zylstra555 from here? I need to log off [03:16] Ryuki: extract the folder to your desktop [03:16] I did [03:16] I'm in xterm [03:16] bobby: a sec [03:16] :P [03:16] zylstra555: ok, so it works now? [03:16] Ryuki: ok, now move the folder inside your home folder [03:16] oh? [03:16] Tramp: Testing it as we speak [03:17] it is in [03:17] how can I tell what version of flash I'm running? [03:17] Ryuki: open a terminal. [03:17] zylstra555: ok. [03:17] Tramp: thanks :) [03:17] it is ok [03:17] oops [03:17] open* [03:17] np [03:17] Is somebody here using the iriver E10? I would like to know what software to use to change the music on it ... [03:18] what command? [03:18] Ryuki: after you open a terminal type this... or copy paste it, however you want... cd ~/install_flash_player_9_linux then hit en [03:18] Tramp: Heh... its working, thanks! [03:18] Ryuki: afte ryou do that, you should see your prompt change [03:18] zylstra555: hehe, np. soundray did the work ;) [03:18] bobby: how many megabytes does it say you will free up? [03:18] hey folks, i notice that my compiz effects are not anti-aliased. i am running gutsy and have an ati card. [03:19] bash: /home/jason/install_flash_player_9_linux: is a directory [03:19] o.o; [03:19] nickrud: 1291mb.... [03:19] I think it won't switch? [03:19] Ryuki: try this cd /home/jason/install_flash_player_9_linux then hit enter [03:19] even I put it in the folder? [03:19] Ryuki: yes it will, you're just doing it wrong. [03:19] mikeaz: ask in #compiz-fusion if it's specifically compiz related [03:19] Ryuki, you forgot to put cd, you just typed the ~/install... [03:19] yay! [03:19] bobby: cups is really deep in ubuntu now, I don't remember it being this big. What kind of internet connection do you have? [03:20] ok now what? [03:20] cable internet... [03:20] Ryuki: ok, now type ./flashplayer-installer and follow the prompts [03:20] bobby: good :) [03:20] does ubuntu work with old graphic cards ? :) [03:21] done! [03:21] Ryuki: restart your browser, and go to youtube, and it should have worked [03:21] Akshaylike: mines from 1999 and it works? [03:21] Akshaylike: It most likely will, if it's really old you might have to Xubuntu...depends on how old it is [03:21] 1994 model [03:21] hold on [03:21] BloodyScum: She managed to connect! But it returned an error message on her side, it said "no matching security types.". What can be done? [03:21] Akshaylike: just try it and hope for the best [03:22] yeah [03:22] bobby: I think you should complete this purge and install from a console, just to be certain you don't lose any desktop stuff. Have you ever worked in one of the text consoles (clt-alt-f1, clt-alt-f7 to get back to the gui) before? [03:22] Akshaylike: I agree, it's worth a shot...but who knows with a card that old. [03:22] nickrud: no... never have... :\ [03:22] i tried installing edubuntu 7.10 ... the installation stops at 80% [03:23] Akshaylike: I'd go vanilla or Xubuntu even... [03:23] what is edubuntu ? [03:23] !edubuntu [03:23] bobby: ok. close aptitude (press q repeatedly) [03:23] Edubuntu is an Ubuntu derivative aimed at schools and educational institutions. For more info, see http://www.edubuntu.org [03:23] thanks IndyGunFreak [03:23] ahh ok [03:23] Ryuki: np, but all id id was read the instructions [03:23] edubuntu is ubuntu watered down so kids don't blow anything up [03:24] I did read it [03:24] isn't edubuntu only the LTS releases?.. [03:24] nickrud: ok... [03:24] * PurpZeY shrugs [03:24] it should tell me the specfic command [03:24] Ryuki: .. i don't know.. [03:24] so I know what it is., [03:24] i don't know how much mor4e specific it could have been [03:25] man, this is tricky. This is the acid test, where you will possibly be working without a net for a while. press clt-alt-f1, hit enter, then login and start sudo aptitude . Press ctl-alt-f7 to get back to the gui [03:25] bobby: ^^ [03:25] nickrud: yes? [03:26] <`Wargasm> why is battery life so horrible in ubuntu? [03:26] <`Wargasm> 4 hours in windows, and 2 hours in ubuntu [03:26] bobby: the ^^ means read the line before, i forgot your nick [03:26] Wargasm: Are you running compiz? and what distro? [03:26] <`Wargasm> 7.10 ubuntu [03:26] <`Wargasm> idk what compiz is [03:26] soundray: now i got it working, seems that gusty gibbon has no framebuffer activated, after activating the frame buffer it works as its supposed to... only the boot-splash seems to be an 1280x1024 image, but this could be changed somewhere else .... [03:26] `Wargasm: Desktop effects.... [03:27] <`Wargasm> oh, nope those are turned off i think [03:27] nickrud: ok.. :) [03:27] flash say it need to be reinstalled? [03:27] Ryuki: why does it need to be reinstalled [03:27] bobby: in the aptitude, does it still say it's going to remove 12xx meg? === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [03:27] `Wargasm: Desktop effects will effect battery life significantly...Also, screen brightness is something I had setup automatically in windows that I had to setup in Ubuntu [03:27] Opera say it ism issing Flash, even I installed it [03:27] reboot? [03:28] <`Wargasm> well i can turn brightness all the way down [03:28] nickrud: no.... i pushed q and it asked me to quit... i just messed up hu? :\ [03:28] <`Wargasm> and i dont have any effects turned on [03:28] Ryuki: for some reason, Opera doesn't co-operate w/ flash under Ubuntu.. i got it working fine on my PC, but my laptop is no joy... [03:28] `Wargasm: Other than that I cannot say. [03:28] <`Wargasm> bleh [03:28] nickrud: do everything over again hu? :\ sorry man... [03:28] bobby: no, bad instructions. You can leave aptitude open in that console terminal, and use clt-alt-f1 and ctl-alt-f7 to switch back and forth. Try it [03:29] `Wargasm: I haven't experienced that problem, the opposite frankly. [03:29] <`Wargasm> i did turn on/off the laptop setting [03:29] bobby: you can only have one aptitude open, so be sure that the one you had open in the gui is closed [03:29] <`Wargasm> turning laptop setting on ruins your hard drive [03:29] <`Wargasm> but it doesnt save any battery life either [03:29] lol [03:29] If I am running mythbuntu 7.10 and have the nvidia glx driver (9631) and need to goto the 169.07 nvidia driver (newest restricted) can I do that by installing nvidia-glx-new or will that install the older 100.14? [03:29] `Wargasm: I believe that to be a myth. But, I don't know why you are having problems w/ battery life. [03:30] hi, i see, to be having a problem. i had a problem that i couldnt resolve, so i decided i would make a new partition, put a new install of kubuntu on it then keep the old partition (because it has aboue 100gb of data on it) and i could just use it as my /home directory and have the new partiton for the OS only. so i installed it, and now it wont boot up. it keeps booting up to the old OS (on the old partiton) how can i fix this? [03:30] How do I change xterm's color scheme? [03:30] "ou need the flash to view this content of this page, blah blah blah..."" [03:30] are there problems with 7.10 live cd and XFX graphics cards? [03:30] nickrud: oh.... i don't have any open right now... i need to open the aptitued in the term back yep yes? [03:31] bobby: in the console, the ctl-alt-f1 one [03:31] I keep getting a rainbow analog monitor and a blank digital monitor [03:31] Sajes: Change the default profile or make a new profile and use that one. [03:31] can anyone give me a step by step guide to setting up a vnc connection between two ubuntu machines over the internet [03:31] i cycle and nothing changes [03:31] IndyGunFreak: should I reinstall? [03:31] PurpZeY, and how do I do that? [03:31] no. [03:31] <`Wargasm> PurpZeY, i can hear my hard drive spin up/down every like 2 minutes on laptop setting. that cannot be good. its not a myth. [03:31] nickrud: does nvidia-glx-new install the 169.07 driver? [03:31] Ryuki: i just todl you the issue above. [03:31] nickrud: Is there any juice to the fact that "laptop mode" destroys hard-drives? [03:31] you can try adding your mozilla plugin directory, to operas, that worked on my PC, but not on my laptop [03:31] wait right? it ias broke? [03:31] >.> [03:32] alexvd_: no clue, I don't use nvidia [03:32] Ryuki: is it working under firefox? === OSUKid7` is now known as OSUKid7 [03:32] nickrud: ok thanks [03:32] Hello everyone [03:32] lol I'll go to firefox then [03:32] I used opera [03:32] can anyone give me a step by step guide to setting up a vnc connection between two ubuntu machines over the internet [03:32] PurpZeY: no clue, I don't use it. But, I will be very cautious about it myself. Someone saying something will crap out my harddrive I'll beleive until I confirm for myself [03:33] * PurpZeY nods.... [03:33] I think someone was saying it is just a farce for the most part. [03:33] spencer70, are you talking about doing VNC past your LAN or Router? [03:33] <`Wargasm> guys [03:33] <`Wargasm> it will destroy your hd [03:33] <`Wargasm> i heard mine spin up and down [03:33] yes [03:33] <`Wargasm> every 2-5 mins [03:33] <`Wargasm> that cannot be good for the drive [03:33] Bakefy yes === Am|NickTaken is now known as Amaranth [03:34] <`Wargasm> do not use laptop mode [03:34] `Wargasm: that's what it's supposed to do .... [03:34] hi, i see, to be having a problem. i had a problem that i couldnt resolve, so i decided i would make a new partition, put a new install of kubuntu on it then keep the old partition (because it has aboue 100gb of data on it) and i could just use it as my /home directory and have the new partiton for the OS only. so i installed it, and now it wont boot up. it keeps booting up to the old OS (on the old partiton) how can i fix this? [03:34] spencer70, do you have it working inside your rotuer? [03:34] !enter | `Wargasm [03:34] <`Wargasm> nickrud, but thats bad for the drive [03:34] idk === Ttech is now known as W6JCN [03:34] bakefy probably not [03:34] `Wargasm: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:34] yay it do works in firefox [03:34] but I want it to work in Opera too :| [03:34] anyone running nvidia graphics card [03:34] `Wargasm: as I said, I'll believe you implicitly until I confirm it for myself :) [03:34] spencer70, what ubuntu are you using? [03:35] gutsy 7.10 [03:35] I need to change a password for an MySQL data base... how? [03:35] <`Wargasm> nickrud, all you gotta do is listen to the drive. [03:35] spencer70, its really easy to enable the VNC server in 7.10, [03:35] Bakefy How sO? [03:35] nickrud: you there? [03:35] bobby: yep [03:36] spencer70, system - preferences - remote desktop [03:36] bakefy: do you run nvidia graphics card [03:36] alexvd_ yes [03:36] bobby: you comfortable switching back and forth between the console and the gui now? [03:36] nickrud: yea...when I pushed clt-alt-f1... my computer.... started to flash... nothing happend.... just kept flashing... [03:36] alexvd_ wait are you talking about with my server attempt? [03:36] Hi, i have ubuntu feisty LAMP server installed, no GUI. how can i mount my kingston usb drive?? [03:36] bakefy: trying to get the 169.07 latest restricted driver. [03:36] nickrud: had to restart my computer... :( [03:37] `Wargasm: I am reading that it is true in some instances, but there are also software fixes. [03:37] bobby: ah, heck you have one of the console bugs [03:37] <`Wargasm> oh, ive fixed it PurpZeY [03:37] Helvasca: $ mysql -u username -h hostname -p password then: mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR username@localhost=PASSWORD('new_password'); as an example [03:37] !mount | sarthor [03:37] `Wargasm: Either way, I don't know how to help you out with the battery life issue. [03:37] sarthor: 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 [03:37] nickrud: ummm... makes me feel better.. lol [03:37] alexvd_ I are you helping me with my server install? === veynom is now known as darklordveynom [03:37] Bakefy: does nvidia-glx-new install the 169.07 or older version [03:37] <`Wargasm> hey PurpZeY what software? [03:37] bakefy: nope asking question [03:38] thanks genii [03:38] what about if I've lost the pw... [03:38] bobby: ok, we'll have to do this in the gui after all. Let me look at some stuff. I'm going to mark myself up the same way [03:38] i need help bad. i somehow managed to reset my xorg.conf file to say that my mouse uses /dev/psaux when in fact it's a usb mouse. how do i fix this? [03:38] ubotu, i love to read and learn, but right now, i need urgent solution, just a Command please if possible [03:38] `Wargasm: http://ubuntudemon.wordpress.com/2007/10/28/laptop-hardrive-killer-bug-how-to-discover-whether-you-are-affected/ [03:38] nickrud: ok... thank you for your help again!! [03:39] Helvasca: start mysql with the skip-tables option... google will have the syntax... then you can change it same as above shown [03:39] hi, i see, to be having a problem. i had a problem that i couldnt resolve, so i decided i would make a new partition, put a new install of kubuntu on it then keep the old partition (because it has aboue 100gb of data on it) and i could just use it as my /home directory and have the new partiton for the OS only. so i installed it, and now it wont boot up. it keeps booting up to the old OS (on the old partiton) how can i fix this? [03:39] Bakefy then how do i connect to someones computer if they are on a wireless network [03:39] :) [03:39] <`Wargasm> thanks PurpZeY [03:39] bobby have you installed a bunch of packages other than the regular ubuntu-desktop? [03:39] genii: do u run nvidia graphics [03:39] alexvd_ I really could not tell you, im not a very smart guy with the drivers. :( [03:39] alexvd_: On 1 machine, yes a 7600gt [03:40] nickrud: yes... i think.... [03:40] genii: do you know if the nvidia-glx-new driver installs the 169.07 driver [03:40] spencer70, they must be set up with a VNC server. are they using XP or Ubuntu or something else? [03:40] genii: or if it installs the older 100.14 [03:40] Bakefy Ubuntu [03:41] alexvd_: offhand I don't know === W6JCN is now known as Ttech [03:41] spencer70, I am not sure of the port that VNC uses, but you need to make sure that you have port forwarding turned onto that port on thier rotuer that relates to the PC you are connecting with. [03:42] bakefy i do [03:42] bobby: ok the first thing we need to do is get you a regular console working. sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst , and look for lines that have splash in them, the ones we're interested in will be near the bottom and start with kernel. Remove the word splash from them, and save [03:42] spencer70, so whats the issue? [03:43] Bakefy i dont know what to type in to connect [03:43] does anyone know of a way to stop gnome-screensaver if a certain program in is open? [03:43] spencer70, you need the IP address to connect. you need the real world IP. [03:43] spencer70, www.ipchicken.com [03:43] bakefy then in terminal i just type it in or what [03:44] spencer70, computer: IP Address [03:44] does anyone kow an open source email based ticket system? [03:44] What VNC program can connect to Ubuntu's default VNC software? [03:44] spencer70: the java vnc server is normally on 5800 plus number of the screen, so normally 5801 [03:45] spencer70, protocol: VNC. [03:45] nickrud: ok... done.. [03:45] spencer70, if that does not work, there is something wrong with your connection / Setup [03:45] bobby: reboot, and your boot up will look different. Once you get to the login screen, try the ctl-alt-f1 ctl-alt-f7 again. [03:46] What VNC program can connect to Ubuntu's default VNC software? [03:46] ok.. brb.. [03:47] what's the french irc for ubuntu please [03:47] Strangework, program for ubuntu? [03:47] Robbotapple: #ubuntu-fr [03:47] thank a lot nickrud [03:47] bye [03:47] Bakefy: Um, well, when I configure the "Remote Desktop" settings in the "Systems" menu. I believe it is configuring it's on VNC software, correkt? [03:48] remote desktop is for connecting to windows machines [03:48] Strangework, yeah [03:48] !french [03:48] Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [03:48] what do i do to probe to see where my mode is located on dev [03:48] Bakefy: Well, I don't think RealVNC works with that, what program does work with it? [03:49] it is dial up modem usb [03:49] Strangework, well it should, works with mine. [03:49] Strangework, all VNC should work. [03:49] Bakefy: hm, strange, well, I will figure it out [03:49] Strangework: all VNC clients should [03:49] Strangework, gl lemme know if you get stuck [03:49] Bakefy, I will, tahnks. :) [03:50] Strangework: make sure you have the right syntax when trying to connect, 192.168.1.x:0 [03:50] techqbert: oh, I am making a remote connection [03:50] anyone know how to get imagerotate() function to work on php for ubuntu? apparently it's an ubuntu problem only? [03:50] hello [03:50] ah so you're trying to VNC inside ubuntu to another VNC server? [03:51] can anyone explain to me why ubuntu doesn't have a rolling release system similar to arch linux? [03:51] !timebasedrelease [03:51] Bakefy, Okay, I am testing it out on my computer, I can connect to the server setup by Ubuntu **.***.***.**:0 [03:51] techqbert: it's inherited from debian, a release is made, and is frozen except for security fixes until the next release === ubuntu101 is now known as Elverig [03:52] Bakefy: but I cannot connect to my RealVNC server, **.***.***.**:1 [03:52] nickrud: i restarted, it booted up a little differnt... (more text displayed on boot up) and then boot normal to my desktop then i pushed clt-alt-f1 and color flashing.... vertically...over and over.... then i pushed clt-alt-f7... it went back to gui... [03:52] !tmebasedreleases | techqbert [03:52] :\ [03:52] !timebasedreleases | techqbert [03:52] techqbert: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [03:52] nickrud: that's what I was considering [03:52] can any body [03:52] help me [03:52] any enlightened experts [03:52] bobby: darn. Well, at least you didn't crash [03:53] techqbert: most distros are not rolling releases [03:53] nickrud: true.. :) [03:53] i'm looking for my usb modem on my computer [03:53] Strangework, so you're trying to connect to a RealVNC (windows) machine using the terminal server provided by ubuntu 7.10? [03:53] how do i prob for dev so i can make it work ? [03:54] i'm trying to install ubuntu 7.10 with a nvidia geforce 8800GT card.. however X won't detect it... [03:54] I used safe mode at boot time with my 8800 [03:54] bobby: I'm really concerned that if you do this commit, you could lose your desktop and not be able to complete the fixes without a working console. In that case you would have to reinstall, with no backup of home [03:54] om_: odd [03:54] for once google failed me [03:54] om_: it detects mine just fine with the same card however the 3d accelaeration thing didn't work [03:54] om_: GIYF << Google Is Your Failure [03:54] Bakefy: Actually, I am attempting to get my friend, using RealVNC with Windows XP, to connect to my RealVNC server on Ubuntu, but it would be nice if it could connect to my Ubuntu software. But when she tries that, the programs says "no matching security types." :( [03:54] it won't let me increase my resolution above 800x600 =( [03:55] would someone that knows ubuntu server please take a look at my screen shots... maybe they will help us figure out why I cant boot. [03:55] om_: do you have nvidia-glx installed yet? [03:55] nvidia-glx-new [03:55] ah [03:55] well w0tevar [03:55] hm [03:55] odd === veynom is now known as darklordveynom [03:55] nickrud: ummmm... that is scary.. :\ [03:55] i even installed the drivers from nvidia.com... it said "installation successful" ... however nothing changed when i restarted [03:56] how can i reset my mouse configuration? i messed it up and now it wont scroll. [03:56] bobby: do you have a friend that can loan you the use of a usb drive to back up with? [03:56] maybe... when i goto school tomorrow... i could ask... [03:56] "it just works" lol [03:57] why i can't use 1024*768 69Hz with my GeForce FX card? [03:57] bobby: that would be the right way to go here. I have this thing about breaking people's systems, especially when it means data loss [03:57] please [03:57] i'm having the same issues PLSshowyourhelp [03:57] nickrud: lol... yes.. i understand... [03:58] i dont believe in global warming [03:58] why my Ati Radeon Xpress 200 Host Bridge is can't run compiz? the vga memory is 256 mb I put, (onboard) [03:58] darklordveynom: hehe [03:58] can someone tell me what I need to do next, my server (after a fresh install) looks like this http://westrealm.homeip.net/shots/ [03:58] bobby: you now know how to get yourself ready to do the purge of files, I'd like to reset your system its back to where we started [03:58] i've been trying every dark and dirty trick i can muster to get my stupid nvidia drivers to work [03:58] ok trying to restart X... [03:58] Bakefy: What are you hoping for it to look like? [03:59] nickrud: yes i do... [03:59] Flannel, I would like it to ask me to log in? [03:59] haha bakefy, could you have made those shots at a higher res? damn [03:59] can somone help me set up beryl with my ati radeon 9600se? [03:59] it's just not working for me [03:59] how do u get dual monitor support? [03:59] anyone know how to get imagerotate() function to work on php for ubuntu? apparently it's an ubuntu problem only? [03:59] Bakefy: http doesn't ask you to login by default.

[04:51] tritium: in home [04:51] asdasdasd: use pastebin [04:51] not here asdasdasd [04:52] graft: before I forget, they mention that http://www.phoronix.com/forums/ can be helpful as well [04:52] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51421/ [04:52] look here [04:52] asdasdasd: that seems like a pain, when you can simply install the package [04:52] yes i simple install the package [04:52] nickrud: yeah... those guys seem intimidatingly savvy though [04:53] tritium: WOOOOOOTTTTT.. i finally found a working gd.so from a fedora rpm [04:53] asdasdasd: there are links for downloading tcl here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=649364 [04:53] only took me 7 hours [04:53] jesus [04:53] rainwalker: tcl is in the repository, no need for that [04:53] hi if I want to add ssid key to my wireles device through terminal what command do I use? [04:53] KlrSp1: you're going to break packages if you start replacing system files/libs [04:53] asdasdasd: just do sudo apt-get install tcl-dev, doesn't that work? [04:53] asdasdasd: oh i see [04:53] graft: check in the site [04:53] graft: well those packages are what got amsn to work correctly for me (as opposed to the tcl in the repos) [04:53] KlrSp1: did you check the bugs.ubuntu.com ? And maybe file a bug if you don't find one [04:53] can anyone help me with WINE? I'm afraid I'm lost trying to run apps with it. [04:54] rainwalker: qu'est-ce que c'est, amsn?

[04:55] nickrud: yeah there's a bug report.. but it was declined as a bug as it's an upstream/security issue [04:55] wasn't it french? i was trying to make it french [04:55] KlrSp1: technically, you broke whichever package that .so is part of [04:55] asdasdasd: yeah hold on a sec [04:55] graft: okay [04:55] asdasdasd:with??? [04:55] with installing a eggdrop [04:55] tritium: i really don't care [04:55] KlrSp1: oh, so they disabled it for that reason then [04:55] it was broken to begin with [04:55] KlrSp1: I'm simply notifying you [04:55] asdasdasd: sudo apt-get install tcl8.4-dev [04:56] ok [04:56] this one works [04:56] why are you compiling amsn anyway? [04:56] isn't it in the repository? [04:56] graft: me? [04:56] asdasdasd: don't use two lines, when one would work, please... [04:56] rainwalker: err, i thought that's what asdasdasd is building? [04:57] graft: because the latest version of aMSN isn't available from the repos [04:57] graft: I don't know, something about an eggdrop? [04:57] graft: after i type ./configure and make config and make what to type now ? [04:57] to make the eggdrop a ? [04:57] nickrud: ehh yeah.. but they don't really say WHY it's a security issue, unless they're just implying the fact it's a fork in upstream.. but it's the known replacement for gd for php.. don't know what the real issue is [04:57] hey all [04:58] rainwalker: 0.97 is in hardy [04:58] asdasdasd: sudo make install? [04:58] graft: I'm on gutsy [04:58] hiya, anyone have time for a mystery keyboard question? [04:58] noonan: go ahead and ask [04:58] rainwalker: you are a man of many contradictions (possibly a woman) [04:58] Howdy...Grub isn't booting Ubuntu on this machine for some reason, even though it booted perfectly well yesterday. I have a Ext2 filesystem driver here in Windows...Is there any way I can get Grub to log things to a file for debugging purposes? [04:59] graft: how so? and I'm a man, thank you [04:59] rainwalker: i just mean if you like the bleeding edge, why not run hardy? [04:59] graft: it wasn't for bleeding edge, it was because the aMSN in gusty's repos wasn't working right for me [04:59] Megaqwerty, can't find file to patch at input line 12093 [04:59] Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? think that would be becasue it's an outdated patch? [04:59] ok, it's after I installed nvidia driver that my alt+tab and alt+F1 and who knows what others stopped working [05:00] how do you get compiz to turn on [05:00] noonan: what are those set to do?

[05:01] pavs: networkmanager? [05:01] pavs, wicd, wifi-radar, if you want gui that is, [05:01] yeah, but i had to reconfigure xorg because i chose the wrong driver and it asked a bunch of keyboard questions [05:01] compiz is preinstalled in 7.10 [05:01] although the latest wicd is garbage so watch out [05:01] yes I wanted GUI [05:01] noonan, ah you left that tidbit out didn't you [05:02] pavs: what's wrong with network-manager? [05:02] oh, i suppose, :\ [05:02] noonan: you can get back to a default config with sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg , it'll make a backup and you can compare [05:02] oh, ok, so that will mean i have to reconfigure the nvidia driver though? [05:02] tritium couldnt start with network manager, was working before fresh install [05:02] I have a very odd problem with logging in. My computer froze while some updates were being configuredand i had to restart, now i can no longer log in. the Logon screen comes up and i enter my usename and password but it stalls after taht without loading up anything else. Any ideas how ot fix it? [05:03] noonan: no, just replace nv with nvidia in xorg.conf . Compare the files to see the driver config [05:03] hey guys, I'm trying to minimize my memory usage because I'm getting short freezes when the puter is swapping, What can I do to stop non-essential services?

[05:05] oh duh, i see nm [05:05] zylstra555: Use gparted [05:05] PurpZeY: I am in the console, I have no desktop [05:05] noonan: if you have any fears, just cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/Desktop , you'll have your original xorg.conf safely on your desktop [05:07] sukasuka: boot into recovery mode (if you don't see a selection on bootup, hit escape during the grub countdown) and do: passwd , and create a new one. type exit to continue to the gui [05:07] zylstra555: use cfdisk to partition the drive [05:08] nickrud: Thanks! Thats the one I actually know how to use, I thought it wasnt on Ubuntu. I will have to remember that [05:08] nickrud: My second drive (which is empty) doesnt show up in there [05:09] zylstra555: cfdisk /dev/sdb or /dev/hdb should find it [05:09] /join #linux [05:09] whoops [05:09] I need help with my install of Server.

[05:11] i'm on ubuntu [05:11] i'm not against it [05:12] osx5: there's always people who want to keep the good stuff for themselves, screw the world [05:12] fools don't understan ubuntu is the only chance linux has to be more mainstream [05:12] i'm trying to install xp on my dell ubuntu desktop >< [05:12] What is the best way to transfer all your data (I mean, all of it) from one hard drive to another?

[05:12] windows is not needed claik [05:12] osx5: I pity that fool [05:12] calik* [05:12] @zyl you could try a crossovercable [05:12] linux has everything you coul ever need [05:12] zylstra555: I just copy it straight over [05:12] couldn't get games to work with ubuntu [05:12] http://www.debianadmin.com/ubuntu-lamp-server-installation-with-screenshots.html Bakefy [05:12] calikaff: I don't know why, but even if you were it wouldn't be something supported in #ubuntu [05:12] LOL [05:12] plannin on dualbooting [05:12] lag: What is a crossover cable? [05:13] i need a good music player with built in radio , and good file organisation for at least 30 thousand songs [05:13] im not against it either... there are other alternatives better then it in some ways, but over all its great! [05:13] its an ethernet cable [05:13] gotta install windoze first [05:13] with 2 of the cables switched [05:13] calikaff: #windows [05:13] rainwalker: A plain and simple copy, will that make the drive duplicate the OS as well? [05:13] is there an equivalent of top for disk access? [05:13] so u can directly connect from one compy to another [05:13] without a router [05:13] lag: Its already in the same computer [05:13] did you use wine? [05:13] did you try vmware? [05:13] oh [05:13] nickrud: both files say the same thing [05:13] you don't need to dual boot for direct x [05:13] what vers of ubu do u hav? [05:13] zyl [05:13] calikaff: you could try wine. [05:13] bazhang, thanks for the link, but i have a feeling I am going to run into the same issue with this webite... I think its my hardware settings or something. [05:13] tried it [05:13] zylstra555: I don't think that will make a bootable copy of your current install; is that what you're trying to do? [05:13] calikaff just free up a partition, make it an ntfs partition and then run the windows installer [05:13] couldn't alt/tab [05:14] calikaff: but it might not like not being on the first partition of the first drive [05:14] tried that, for some reason it couldn't find the ntfs partition [05:14] @zyl because if u dont hav a version that can write to ntfs drives then iso or internet update to one [05:14] Bakefy: with screenshots! doesnt get easier than that :} [05:14] @zyl and then just copy the things onto the other partition [05:14] how do I allow guest access to a smb share? [05:14] what wont, linux or windows? [05:14] rainwalker: Yes. I just need to get my server on a bigger drive. Currently its 3GB, and I have a 20GB drive in there now (yeah.. really big) [05:14] is there a way to run a program in ubuntu (technically edubuntu) such as bluefish from a usb drive? [05:14] @zyl get an external hard drive? [05:14] bazhang, first time I installed I got a grub 18 error, so i reinstalled with a small boot partiton, unfortuantly it still sticks ... but it gets past grub :) [05:15] zylstra555: well there are tools for backing up data, I don't know about creating an actual bootable copy though [05:15] you could try making an iso of the partition? [05:15] not sure how that would work out tho.. [05:15] bazhang, I took screen shots of mine too http://westrealm.homeip.net/shots/ [05:15] hi [05:15] Bakefy: ah so [05:15] bazhang, the last image is where I stay. [05:15] hey stefkoo [05:15] hi again [05:15] its me aasdasdasd [05:15] so anybody have any ideas about running a program off a usb drive? [05:15] ;) [05:15] Is the following a correct definition of a kernel quirk? ""In the kernel, quirks are routines or variables you program to make hardware work that has abnormal or out-of-spec behavior." [05:15] rainwalker: Would going in with a live CD and copying it without system resources being used work? [05:16] hey [05:16] Bakefy: you can also try in #ubuntu-server dont know if anyone is around though :} [05:16] rainwalker: look here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51422/ [05:16] zylstra555: I don't get what you're saying... [05:16] does anyone know of a good music player with a built in radio , and good file organisation for at least 30 thousand songs? [05:16] why i can't start the egg? [05:16] i edit the eggdrop.conf [05:16] :S [05:16] @bloody amarok? [05:16] rainwalker: Well, if I copied the contents of the OS partiton from one HDD to the new HDD using a live disc, would it work then? === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [05:16] zylstra555, use dd to copy the partion and grow the size? [05:16] stefkoo: I have no clue... [05:16] Can somebody help me about eggdrop please?? [05:16] thanks bazhang [05:17] zylstra555: I don't see why it wouldn't, but I honestly don't know much about this stuff [05:17] stefkoo: Just out of curiosity, the IRC eggdrop? [05:17] no worries Bakefy [05:17] yes [05:17] zylstra555: can you help me? [05:17] rainwalker: I might have to try it [05:17] stefkoo: Did you look on the Mathetes site for directions? [05:17] zylstra555: you could try asking in the forums, maybe in installation and upgrades [05:18] zylstra555: or you could try #ubuntu [05:18] zylstra555: i edit everything in eggdrop.conf [05:18] whoa [05:18] zylstra555: scratch that, forgot where I was haha [05:18] rainwalker: I seriously dont trust the forums, and this is #ubuntu... [05:18] zylstra555: why don't you trust the forums? [05:18] nickrud: xorg.conf and xorg.conf made with that -pcritical -xserver-xorg command are exactly the same [05:18] rainwalker: hehe [05:18] noonan: then X is not the problem [05:19] ah [05:19] stefkoo: I dont know how to use it at all, sorry. Are you using Reby or classic eggdrop? [05:19] rainwalker: Last few times I use them, I never got a response.. it moves too fast [05:19] classic eggdrop [05:19] :0 [05:20] zylstra555: hm...well you could try in general help or installation and upgrades. and this channel is usually way faster than the forums ever are, just fyi [05:20] anyone happy with a recent laptop purchase running ubuntu? [05:20] nickrud: what else could it be dya think? i've stumped google [05:21] noonan: what window manager are you using? [05:21] rainwalker: What I mean is that, there are so many posts on the Ubuntu site that honestly, half the stuff cannot be answered, there arent enough people answering the questions [05:21] xfce [05:21] Hello: I wish to run fglxr + xgl on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) on my ATI M24GL (Mobility FireGL V3200).

[05:21] zylstra555: ah, I see. Still, that's no reason to give up on the forums [05:21] zylstra555: best place to ask is on the ubuntu-user mail list [05:21] nickrud: xfce? i'm a newb [05:22] zylstra555: its a really busy list, but smart people check that [05:22] nickrud: I think I used that before (also didnt get a reply, but only tried it once) [05:22] noonan: ah, I don't know xfce at all. You might try asking about it on #xubuntu [05:22] nickrud: hey thanks [05:23] zylstra555: that's a common need, probably several people have done it that hang out there and have pointers [05:23] no, you are a noob [05:23] Love [05:23] !noob | theLichKing [05:23] theLichKing: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [05:23] theLichKing: don't call people noobs. [05:23] Hi All [05:23] I went around to Ms 25, my tall, curvaceous beautiful lady friend with the long blond/red hair. It was time for another driving lesson. She greeted me warmly and we sat in her kitchen and chatted over a coffee for a couple of minutes before we hit the road. [05:23] I was wearing a white shirt with a coarse print black cross-hatch pattern of thin lines on it, but the patterning still could not hide the fantastic projection and black outline of my favourite Bendon Body Basics bra. Also I had "forgotten" to do up enough shirt buttons, in fact I was a bit naughty because really I had "forgotten" TWO shirt buttons. I had a large triangle of chest flesh exposed and the front centre of my bra was fully exposed to [05:23] After the lesson, she was very pleased with her progress (rightfully so) and as I took my leave, walking down her driveway, she walked alongside me, chatting all the while. I don't think she wanted me to leave and I found that thought so flattering. I did say to her not long ago that I would have loved her to be my daughter. I said that on purpose to clarify the nature of the obvious friendship that we have and I think that was well accepted at [05:23] My Bendon Body Basics bra is a 38 A cup contour bra, but as I have said in other postings, this particular A cup does project more on me than a D cup in other brands of bra. I love the projection these bras give me (I have about eight of these bras, in white, black, two shades of pink, and blue). When I stand up tall and confident, my fake beauties stick way out proudly and I love the way they look [05:23] !ops [05:24] Help! Channel emergency!

[05:26] anyone here have any ideas about running programs off a usb drive in ubuntu? [05:26] to be independent* [05:26] anyone successful in installing gutsy, 7.10 ubuntu on usb external drive? === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [05:26] dragon: what is on the internal? === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [05:27] theLichKing: I understand that the gstreamer people are working on it, but nothing that's released yet [05:27] nickrud: i see, thanks.. i hope they release something soon [05:28] bazhang: I can't touch it as it is a work machine (win xp). I travel and would rather take ubuntu with me on ext rather than another laptop (especially international travel) [05:28] oh , what does dpi do in graphics settings ? [05:28] is there any way to find a printer in a windows network and to print? [05:29] Kasplatt: it adjusts the size of the fonts mainly [05:29] dragon: use a different distro such as DSL that is designed to run off a usb drive? [05:29] nickrud: ah ok thanks. [05:29] dragon: oh I see; well I have done as have many others--though I have never done it with that particular combo [05:30] theLichKing, pulseaudio should do that [05:30] * nickrud makes a note to look at pulseaudio, see if it works yet [05:30] lag: thanks, I think I'll try it, but I was hoping to replicate an environment like a laptop I had which dropped (T23) and want to migrate my evolution to the external drive. [05:31] I have tried some ubuntu wikis and so far failed (penlinux, ubuntu on usbflash, or install to external WD) [05:31] dragon: someone told me they did an install to an external drive, and wrote grub to the mbr of the external. If the external is plugged in, it boots [05:32] dragon you mean a pen drive or a full on hdd? [05:32] HI, mount /dev/sdb /media/1 -t vfat , Its not working [05:32] 1 is dir [05:33] whats wrong?? === marko-_-_ is now known as marko-_- [05:33] nickrud: I have tried quite a few times and followed instructions from ubuntu hacks book. [05:33] sarthor: does the dir /media/1 exists? [05:33] nickrud, Yes. [05:33] nickrud that is the experience I had with the mbr with success [05:33] dragon: I haven't tried myself [05:33] bazhang: I have tried both: USB key, and external drive [05:33] nickrud: did you say that my driver wouldn't make a difference until something about the kernal? [05:34] sarthor, try /dev/sdb1 [05:34] nickrud: er, the nvidia one? [05:34] dogson, Dont..thank you. [05:34] dragon: nickrud has it right--where you install the grub (mbr of external) makes the difference [05:34] noonan: if you used the nvidia driver from their site (I was assuming that) you only made kernel modules for the running kernel. When you upgrade to a new kernel, you will have to build the modules again [05:35] but confused coz in tail -f /var/log/meseges its show sdb [05:35] only [05:35] doesn't tracker remember what it's tracked between sessions? [05:35] ug [05:35] dogson: don't you think pulseaudio conflicts with alsa, because they are both control sound before it goes to the hardware [05:35] that is the "whole" hd, you need to specify a partition [05:35] I hate tracker [05:35] nickrud: ok, but if I did it through synaptic, then same? [05:35] Hi all. Can anyone please tell me how to convert a dmesg timestamp (example [ 646.968000] or [ 853.296000] to a 'human' readable clock time? Much thanks! [05:35] sarthor: I'm not sure about that, is it a pendrive or something [05:36] noonan: no, then you can ignore me, you'll get new drivers with the new kernel from ubuntu [05:36] theLichKing, pulseaudio has output plugins for alsa etc , i havent tryed it myself, but with some thinkering it should work [05:36] nickrud, Yes, pendrive [05:36] sarthor: I'm gonna have to bow out, I haven't played much with pen drives, mine just mounts [05:36] dogson: i see, i'll look more into it, thanks [05:37] bazhang: I tried installing the grub onto the external drive for booting. it shows up as sdb1, although I tried it also partitioning and either way the external drive either hangs when ubuntu attempt to view the drive during the install [05:37] hey guys, im trying to setup vmware on gutsy.. im using this tutorial [05:37] whats a good photo gallery host thing for apache?

[05:39] :( [05:39] does anyone know of a gui font installer app? [05:39] sarthor: :) The reason I asked was I was going to say that, but heard that some pen drives don't have a partition number. [05:39] evfan42, my vmware is also hanging there... its installed but not working. [05:39] hmmm [05:39] seems to be a common problem then? [05:40] nickrud, its kingston may be it also hav same [05:40] evfan42: personally I'd look on the vmware.com site for instructions about making a vm, rather than the forums [05:40] evfan42, Not sure, coz iam not master of linux.. just new i am . [05:41] evfan42: or ask on #vmware [05:41] for feisty that tute works [05:41] nickrud, if you 'sudo fdisk -l' does your pendrive appear to have paritions (ie, sdX#), it not it may be formated as a raw device, in which case you would use simple sdX insead of sdX# [05:42] cedaroo: ah, the way to know.

[05:47] thanks all [05:47] Hi All [05:47] I went around to Ms 25, my tall, curvaceous beautiful lady friend with the long blond/red hair. It was time for another driving lesson. She greeted me warmly and we sat in her kitchen and chatted over a coffee for a couple of minutes before we hit the road. [05:47] I was wearing a white shirt with a coarse print black cross-hatch pattern of thin lines on it, but the patterning still could not hide the fantastic projection and black outline of my favourite Bendon Body Basics bra. Also I had "forgotten" to do up enough shirt buttons, in fact I was a bit naughty because really I had "forgotten" TWO shirt buttons. I had a large triangle of chest flesh exposed and the front centre of my bra was fully [05:47] After the lesson, she was very pleased with her progress (rightfully so) and as I took my leave, walking down her driveway, she walked alongside me, chatting all the while. I don't think she wanted me to leave and I found that thought so flattering. I did say to her not long ago that I would have loved her to be my daughter. I said that on purpose to clarify the nature of the obvious friendship that we have and I think that was well a [05:47] hmm. thanks for the link nickrud, sadly the errors appear in dmesg, but not in syslog (which is what I understand your link to suggest). bah. [05:47] My Bendon Body Basics bra is a 38 A cup contour bra, but as I have said in other postings, this particular A cup does project more on me than a D cup in other brands of bra. I love the projection these bras give me (I have about eight of these bras, in white, black, two shades of pink, and blue). When I stand up tall and confident, my fake beauties stick way out proudly and I love the way they look [05:47] Love [05:47] Is the following a correct definition of a kernel quirk?

[05:51] sarthor: #ubuntu+1 for hardy questions [05:51] skyheart: is this a repeating thing, or just a one off? [05:51] Every day of the year. [05:52] Hi [05:52] I have a TTF font file, how can I install in fiesty? [05:53] I read up on Cron some and think I understand a little (enough?) to schedule, but I don't know how to script to make the system shut down. I'd also like to make it actually unavailable till a certain time in the morning. [05:53] skyheart, sudo crontab -e minute hour * * * /sbin poweroff should do ie, for example 0 0 * * * /sbin/poweroff would turn your computer off at midnight every night. [05:53] skyheart: * * * * 1-7 root halt should do it [05:54] Thank you! [05:54] Greetings Ubuntu friends. I run VMware Server on x86_64 Gutsy. It has been working perfectly for a long time. However, I believe a recent kernel upgrade is causing major problems and I'd like to back-rev down to the original Gutsy kernel. How can I install the older kernel? [05:54] any one have a clue what media player can be added to a panel, also skinnable ? [05:54] skyheart, the 'sudo' in sudo crontab -e is important :-) [05:54] skyheart: ah, I've forgotten too much nm me [05:55] skyheart, by unavailable to mean that you don't want others to be able to connect, but you want the machine to keep running? [05:56] .,, brb goin to windows [05:56] could I break anything by installing the latest version of flash from adobe's site? [05:57] don't do it crush_Groove! :-) [05:57] The ultimate goal is to keep a certain user off the machine from 11 PM till 7 AM. That user does not have administrative privileges. That user is me. My wife will have the only access to admin tasks, at least that's how I'd like it to be. I'm pretty much a newbie at all of this. [05:57] any one have a clue what media player can be added to a panel, also skinnable ? [05:58] skyheart, are you trying to deny physical access, or network access? if network, simply vi/nano a script with the services and 'stop' that you want, and setup a crontab to run it. ie, /etc/init.d/samba stop [05:58] hopla [05:58] cOrruptOr - check into mplayer. I use it for everything. It's skinnable and can be added to the panel. [05:58] Well, physical access. [05:59] Hmm. [05:59] Network access would be the next best thing. [05:59] aavera ok i will try that thank you [05:59] I <3 ubuntu [05:59] skyheart, sorry, althought you could write a crontab kludge to change the user or passwd file entry, i don't know a safe way to do so. sorry. [06:00] lol [06:00] skyheart: give it a bios password you don't know [06:00] * Best_56262 /me u [06:00] skyheart: have it shut down, and you're definitely locked out [06:00] What's everybody's favorite chat client? [06:00] c0rrupt0r - be sure to enable the medibuntu repo. Just google medibuntu and their homepage will walk you through everything. [06:00] Hmm. [06:01] for irc, either xchat or irssi. For several protocols, pidgin [06:01] I'm trying XChat-Gnome, but I don't like it as well as the other XChat. [06:01] nickrud, i think he wants his wife to be able to access, but not self. he could sed/awk his own entry in users, then un mangle it via cron ? [06:01] xchat gnome is fine for me [06:01] aavera thank you :) [06:01] Interesting. [06:02] cedaroo: I'm with you, not willing to mess with passwd. Except maybe to substitute between two, one with him and one without [06:02] hey [06:02] Update manger recently updated my kernel. I need to find out if it's possible to back out of that update and return my system to the previous kernel. Anyone have any tips? [06:02] OK, sounds good. Like I said, I'm a newbie. I'll try the bios trick. Actually, my wife doesn't need it during those hours either. [06:02] can someone walk me through a fresh install of something... I have triple partition and I want to protect my other 2 partitions [06:02] la sala en español donde esta [06:02] Jinxed: it's easy. [06:03] !es [06:03] Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [06:03] nickrud, great idea! skyheart, if you sudo cp your /etc/passwd file to /etc... oh ok. a crontab /sbin/poweroff should take care of that easily enough. [06:03] skyheart: You can, I believe, use PAM. [06:03] What's PAM? [06:03] P: [06:03] Best_56262: that doesn't help me much [06:03] I'm aware of that. [06:03] pam is something that if you mess it up, you are screwed [06:03] aavera, you could easily do that with synaptic [06:03] Have you burned a CD? [06:04] Oh. [06:04] Best_56262: yeah I already have it burned i clicked on start or install [06:04] :P OK, what I did is I used the last option, but I forgot the name :P [06:04] skyheart: Pluggable Authentication Module... looking for a link. [06:04] * Best_56262 will look. [06:04] You'll have to resize them, though. [06:05] Ubuntu must have some free space to format for / (root) [06:05] hey all how do I install kde on ubuntu gusty [06:05] OK. [06:05] Uh, easily? Synaptic repos only show the 2.6.22-14 but not the last digits which denote the actual kernel rev. And what would I do, mark my existing kernel for deletion? [06:05] carl_: kubuntu-desktop [06:05] yeah [06:06] install that carl_ [06:06] actually... not on ubuntu at the moment, but try man pam_time [06:06] how is wut I'm saying [06:06] Hmm. [06:06] Aha! [06:06] carl_: sudo apt-get install packagename [06:06] How closely related are I.T. and C.S degrees? [06:06] On the "Prepare disk space" step, Jinxed, pick "Manual." [06:06] so it will be [06:06] aavera: there's a script that comes with vmware that you run when you upgrade your kernel, have you done that? [06:07] <-- -how do i remove lspci devices...? [06:07] is it normal (or okay) to use konsole rather than terminal in gnome? [06:07] sudo apt-get install kubuntu [06:07] This way you can be sure that it doesn't mess up your partitions. [06:07] Edwarxp: pull the card [06:07] Yes. [06:07] :o [06:07] Trust me. [06:07] carl_: no [06:07] aavera: ok, I do :) [06:07] vmware is broken with the latest kernel. [06:07] skyheart: does 'man pam_time' give something useful? [06:07] hehe no, my mounted on board sound card is mess up.. i want to disable it from within [06:07] OK, so you then right-click on them and pick resize. Then you need to make two new partitions. [06:07] silas, back in the day IT was more network/system administration and CS more programing, but it really does depend on the school [06:07] aavera: I'm using the vmware-server that ubuntu has, it works fine with the latest: add deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner to your sources.list, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vmware-server [06:08] aavera, i have 2.6.22-14.46 and .47, does the packages->force version not work? [06:08] Best_56262: why do i need to make 2 new partitions... I already have xp installed and i want to keep it that way [06:08] is there any good open source webcam software??? [06:08] One will need to be "/", formatted ext3, and the other a swap partition P: [06:08] That's where I got mine. [06:08] what's the irc command to send a message to every channel you're idling in? [06:08] Do you run 64-bit gutsy? [06:08] .. /notice i think [06:08] cedaroo: the program I am in only offers 1 programming course for my A.A.S. but I really want to get a Ph.D. and the closest university to home doens't even have an IT department, just CS [06:08] Jinxed: I just know how I did it ;-) [06:08] carl_: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [06:08] got it: /amsg [06:09] I have a second question: I recently installed Ubuntu 7.10 on my P4 Hewlitt Packard Media Center PC 864n using the CD that came with the Christmas issue of Linux Format magazine. I love it. They said it has the unique feature of containing Gnome, KDE and xcfe or whatever that third interface is. Everything is fine except that when I first turn on the machine in the morning, it takes a full 2 or more minutes before I get the lo [06:09] Generally they say to make the swap partition twice the size of your ram, but I don't know about any performance tests... [06:09] Boo. Ok... I have no idea why, because everything is working PERFECTLY except this one thing... I can't move my windows. The titlebar is there, all is well and whatnot. But I can't move the window around.. Help! [06:09] aavera: yes I do. Just booted up my vista vm to test again [06:09] I don't see the .47 and .47 from synaptic. Maybe I'll try apt get. [06:09] thank you [06:09] mnemonica: how do you memorize things? [06:10] can beryl be installed on ubuntu gusty [06:10] lol [06:10] wb [06:10] Let it run for a while - like a day or so. I'm seeing my system hit 100% CPU utilization and the VM just hangs. [06:10] wtf [06:10] carl_: I think compiz is installed with installation of ubuntu [06:10] aavera: I use VirtualBox. It seems to work OK. Have you tried it? [06:10] dropped me randomly... Anyway. Ideas, anyone? [06:11] vmware forms point to the tickless kernel and cry foul for any kernel past 2.6.14 [06:11] aavera: I don't run nearly that long ... [06:11] I'm sorry, I meant 18, not 14. === Jinxed is now known as topgun553 [06:11] ok can I get kiba-dock with compiz [06:11] I use VirtualBox for Windows chat clients :P [06:11] i'm getting some weird result. I'm trying to record audio from my tv tuner card (going to my line-in input.) I can HEAR the audio just fine, but no matter what RECORD device i use, i can't get it to record any audio. (i'm using mythtv, but i can't record audio using arecord either) anyone know why this would be? [06:11] Yes, Virtualbox ROCKS! [06:11] vmware is better [06:11] how do I enable full transparency in my terminal [06:11] hello [06:11] lol [06:11] all I see is my background image [06:11] I'd love to just run that but this particular windows image won't run in that vm without a reinstall of Windows. [06:12] DrMitch: you probably are right. [06:12] my company will let me use their licenses on vmware, not virtualbox. They have heard of vmware [06:12] to fix a bunch of bad .sys files. [06:12] Virtualbox is awesome, but I'm stuck with vmware. [06:12] But VirtualBox hasn't failed me yet... === topgun553 is now known as Jinxed [06:12] can I install kiba-dock on ubuntu gusty or nekind of dock [06:13] aavera: what software do you use on vmware? === Jinxed is now known as Jinxed7 === Jinxed7 is now known as Jinx [06:13] carl_: You can install kiba-dock [06:14] Redhat argues that the FOSS movement is about Choice in this brilliant artistic video: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=1rSLQAqV2Lw& how is FOSS about choice? I need to know because I am writing a blog on it. [06:14] ok how do I get it I looked everywhere on the web for it [06:14] Sorry for the long question earlier. What might cause a long boot up time on my Ubuntu 7.10 install--several minutes at present. [06:14] Invert314: not in this channel please [06:14] carl_: www.homeinc.de [06:14] Repeat: Boo. Ok... I have no idea why, because everything is working PERFECTLY except this one thing... I can't move my windows. The titlebar is there, all is well and whatnot. But I can't move the window around.. Help! [06:14] sorry bazhang [06:14] FOSS isn't about choice, it's about freedom === Jinx is now known as Jinxed- [06:14] carl_: That was from memory, so if it's wrong, tell me. [06:15] skyheart: do you have any USB stuff plugged in that isn't working? [06:15] take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, Invert314 [06:15] skyheart: if the disk is getting checked is one possibility, you should be able to hit alt-f1 or alt-f8 (forget which) to see what's going on [06:15] ty graft [06:15] 2. compile kiba-dock: [06:15] cd kiba-dock [06:15] ./autogen.sh --enable-akamaru [06:15] make [06:15] sudo make install how do I do this [06:15] mnemonica you can't move any windows, or you can't move a particular apps windows? are you certain they're not set 'full screen'? are you running gnome? [06:15] Hm. Don't know offhand. I'll look. There might be a non-used USB hub. I'll check it tomorrow AM. [06:15] Just WindowsXP, office, blah blah. When I run that image in Virtualbox it just barfs due to agp440.sys, mup.sys, ndis.sys, and on and on. The Virtalbox site says these are well-known issues that can be fixed with a reinstall of Windows. I'm not installing a fresh copy of windows, I'm using disk images. [06:16] What's the enable-akamaru option, carl_? [06:16] Thank you, folks. I'll be back in the next couple of days. Thanks for your help. [06:16] is it normal (or okay) to use konsole rather than terminal in gnome? [06:16] it said something about compiling kiba-dock [06:16] how do I do that [06:16] Fascinating, aavera. I'm not surprised you can't use an old image with vb from vm. [06:16] carl_: That website has detail instructions. [06:17] ogra its fine, but it may require additional 'kde' libraries [06:17] hmm. [06:17] Best_56262 good thinking. skyheart, try disconnecting usb items (if bios will boot w/o kbd/mouse all the better) and see if it still takes as long. try discopnnecting network also. [06:17] mdasilva, thanks alot [06:18] cedaroo: I am running gnome. They are not fullscreened, and it is every window. [06:18] ok I found a kiba install script 1 and 2 [06:20] cedaroo: Any ideas...? [06:22] mnemonica can' think of why off hand, but you may want to try chown -R your_username /home/your_username just to see if you have a root owned pref in your gnome/Xwin settings [06:23] mneomnica actually under system > pref > keyboard shortcuts > move defaults to alt-F7 you may want to see if they keyboard shortcut works. if not i' [06:24] mnemonica i'd try chowning your prefs (or rm'ing them) from your home directory. hope this helps. [06:24] cedaroo: I'll try some of that and let you know how it goes. [06:24] I'm trying to figure out why I can't play back mp3's from amarok, xine, vlc or noatun, but I can with mpg321. I am running kubuntu gutsy and I have installed gstream, kubuntu-restricted-extras and libxine1. I've asked on #kubuntu but to no avail and thought I'd ping this channel. Any suggestions? [06:25] !codecs [06:25] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [06:25] console_jockey: as well as ubuntu-restricted-extras correct? [06:25] yes, [06:25] wut doI type in the terminal to get kiba-dock [06:26] !info kiba-dock [06:26] Package kiba-dock does not exist in gutsy [06:26] hi,guys [06:26] carl_: First, you have to download the source for kiba-dock @ kiba-docks website. Then you have to compile it, I will help you do this usng the guide or the script, but you need to download the source first [06:27] well, i cant install ubuntu on my computer [06:27] xine tells me that I haven't a demuxer plugin installed, amarok tells me it's an unrecognized format, and noatun just displays nothing (like I've loaded an empty file). now mpg321 will play these files just fine... [06:27] i have acpi problems [06:27] cedaroo: Another oddity... Windows keep opening with their titlebar inside the top dock. I don't want to delete the top dock though, because its a pain to get back... [06:28] ok where can I find the source [06:29] when i try to install it, i have to insert many params on boot options, and when i finnaly make it, the screen shows some weird colors. [06:29] console_jockey: have you uninstalled the stuff like ubuntu-restricted-extras and then reinstalled kubuntu-restricted-extras? that would seem to be the source of your problems [06:29] carl_: Ok, we're gonna go, step by step ok? [06:29] ok [06:29] I've tried that too, bazhang. I'm just completely mift [06:29] carl_: Apps --> Accessories --> Terminal [06:29] ok in terminal [06:30] audacity tells me it can't find the output device (you see I'm trying all tools...) [06:30] Anyone had trouble with asus m2n4-sli series? [06:30] about acpi [06:30] carl_: Go to that website www.homeinc.de [06:30] whats the correct command "iwconfig ath0 up"? [06:30] Hi i was trying to install drivers for my ati card with instructions online but i got a error [06:30] oh well, it's late and I have to go to bed. I guess it's not that important (thought it would be nice to listen to my mp3's). I guess I'll struggle with it later. Thanks for the help bazhang [06:31] sandman: specify error plz [06:31] Please copy configuration file template to /etc/X11 [06:31] console_jockey: come back tomorrow and well get you sorted [06:31] carl_: Start at the top of the guide.

Only xubuntu works here. [06:34] carl_: what page are you looking at? [06:34] carl_: "source" is just code, it can come from anywhere...In this case you are going to get it via svn, so those steps that say svn co https://etc.etc..etc... those are links to source [06:35] what problem do you get from the live cd? [06:35] loudnlownoma: I got it under control he is following a guide I've used a whole host of times.

[06:40] carl_: If you need to run the command again just press "up arrow" at the terminal prompt. the up arrow like, left arrow, right arrow...etc. [06:40] yokobr, did you try nosplash [06:40] yeap. [06:40] with nosplash. [06:40] same problem. [06:41] Its on login screen. [06:41] yokobr, nofb [06:41] it gets on a green, orange, with white stripes. [06:41] dpkg -1 "automake" that command? [06:41] hey all [06:41] carl_: dpkg -l "automake*" [06:41] ok I ran it [06:42] carl_: Do you have any versions of automake before automake1.9 ? [06:42] ah hate having to use the LiveCD until tomorrow [06:42] how can i go about mounting an image under ubuntu. must i install an application via apt-get? [06:42] i'll try nofb option.

I am SSHing into my upstairs computer and running konversation... this is pretty cool that it creates a GUI for konverstion on Damn Small Linux running the program from upstairs [06:43] that rocks [06:43] like streaming [06:43] bittorrent :/ [06:44] anyone booting ubuntu on an IT8212 ide controller [06:44] ? [06:44] Pauldb: You are trying to listen to mp3s from one computer on another on the same LAN? [06:44] um how do you install a .bin file in ubuntu?

But please don't paste things like that in the channel [06:44] oh ok [06:45] how can i go about mounting an image under ubuntu. must i install an application via apt-get? [06:45] for example, i play a song on pc1 and it sounds on pc2 in the same time [06:45] clubs: a cd image? [06:45] yup [06:45] So how does this work with me running Konversation (or any GUI program) via SSH and the GUI appearing on THIS computer? [06:45] would this command restore a compressed image of a disk: gunzip /media/disk-1/sda1.img.gz | dd of=/dev/sdc2 conv=sync,noerror bs=64K [06:45] Pauldb: Oh....I dunno, I thought you were talking about something different. [06:45] (i'm a frecnh speaking) [06:45] ok it's running through the terminal [06:45] .bin,.cue,.iso,.daa,etc. [06:45] !fr | Pauldb [06:45] clubs: you can use mount [06:45] Pauldb: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [06:46] thx [06:46] OH! Hey! I'm having some issues with my windows. They're locked up or something (I can't move or resize them). I did "compiz --replace" and I got this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51425/ [06:46] Anyone care to tell me whats up? [06:46] how do i connect to that chan ? [06:46] Pauldb: /join [06:46] thx [06:46] /j #channelname [06:47] lol [06:47] mnemonica: You could start by doing metacity --replace to get things moving [06:47] clubs: mount -o loop -t iso9660 filename.iso /mnt/iso [06:47] mnemonica, did you try to disable compiz [06:47] im having issues getting ubuntu to read a second hard drive [06:47] So I have an odd issue where it takes a long time to load websites, it seems to hang for a long time at the start, (maybe resolving the DNS?) and then finally loads. I tried disabling IPv6 in FF, but that didn't help. [06:47] dogson: How would I do that? [06:47] hi, How to get special user information like level, permission and ... from terminal. [06:47] evil_tech it is a .bin,.cue image. is there a program with a UI? [06:47] su - [06:47] Has anyone seen this? Any suggestions? The connection is fast, so that shouldn't be the problem [06:47] mnemo, can you get a terminal open?, killall compiz compiz.real && metacity --replace [06:48] ok that ran now wut? [06:48] zoldfarb: set up dnsmasq and use your computer as the primary DNS server for DNS caching [06:48] clubs: no clue ive always used .iso and mount [06:48] dogson: Alright, will I be able to get it back afterwards? [06:48] mnemonica: Yes. [06:48] mnemonica, sure [06:49] ne on ehave ideas on installing a second hard drive? [06:49] only if you can give me ideas on booting my one hard drive :) [06:49] what does dnsmasq do? [06:49] what seems to be the prob with ur boot? [06:49] zoldfarb: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/08/02/local-dns-cache-for-faster-browsing/ [06:50] not sure. think grub doesnt like my IDE controller [06:50] says that the disk doesnt exist and drops me to a busybox shell [06:50] that would definetly seem to be a prblem [06:50] how many drive the comp have? [06:50] but the module for it shows up when i cat /proc/modules [06:50] 1 currently [06:50] if you have a second run it master and slave out the one that ubuntu doesnt like [06:50] hi, how to get user information like level, permission and ... from terminal. [06:50] i unplugged all the others [06:50] SaeidZebardast: pwd would provide your current working directory level [06:51] ok i have two questions now: (1) can some one recommend a good image-mounting program, and (2) is there a converter the quality of which is equivalent to dBpoweramp - I want to convert flac to ogg-q4(vbr) [06:51] if it was me id try another drive, ive only ever had one IDE and it ran windows [06:51] all mine are SATA [06:51] mahout, an easy google search "install second hdd in linux" will work wonders. make sure it loads up when your desktop loads otherwise it should be in menu.lst if it doesnt show up make sure its plugged in correctly and make sure your bios detects it. [06:52] vontux: :( ho to get user pemission level? [06:52] thnx soldats [06:52] vontux: :( how to get user pemission level?

[06:53] ok [06:53] how to pasword protect folders [06:53] ? [06:53] dogson: Hey, the string of commands you gave me worked... I can move my windows and stuff now... [06:53] dogson: How would I get everything working correctly again, though? [06:53] would this command restore an image of a hard drive: gunzip /media/disk-1/sda1.img.gz | dd of=/dev/sdc2 conv=sync,noerror bs=64K [06:54] can someone tell me how to share calendars between local evolution users? Any way, not involving the purchase of servers and heavy duty software like exchange or something. [06:54] carl_: Skip the bit about pidgin....start by copy and pasting svn co https://....etc....into terminal just copy and paste it [06:54] kapcid is accupiying 50% of my cpu [06:55] so how to change it [06:55] mnemonica, there is probably something wrong with your compiz install, or config [06:55] question guys, when modifying my fstab to automatically mount a samba share, whats the correct format for [06:55] my system is intel(R) core(Tm) 2 Duo core [06:55] it's asking me to reject accept temporarely or accept permanently [06:55] (1) can some one recommend a good cd image-mounting program for ubuntu, and (2) is there a converter for ubuntu the quality of which is equivalent to dBpoweramp - I want to convert flac to ogg-q4(vbr) [06:55] carl_: accept permanent [06:56] clubs, use the builtin mount [06:56] good night [06:56] kapcid is accupiying 50% of my cpu my system is intel(R) core(Tm) 2 Duo core so how to solve this? [06:56] tsukasa, how? [06:56] clubs, man mount [06:56] ok next [06:56] dogson: How would I go about figuring out what that something is? [06:56] carl_: ok what directory are you in now?

[06:57] tsukasa_ i am right clicking the .cue file and have no option to mount [06:57] vontux, yes [06:57] cool [06:57] carl_: If you don't know how to tell...After your prompt $ it should tell you...If it says nothing you are in your home dir. [06:57] mnemonica, did you change anything or are you running the standard gutsy compiz?, you could disable it in the system->settings->looks? menu, util you figure it out [06:57] how to get user pemission level from terminal? [06:57] I did the 1 right after the pidgin [06:57] clubs, oh, .cue. use apt-cache search cue and find something for it then [06:57] clubs, try the cmmand he gave you and replace .iso with .cue they are both image files [06:57] u told me to skip the pidgin part so I went to the next and did that so next is wut [06:58] carl_: Ok, but now we're ready for the next step. [06:58] ok [06:58] dogson: haven't changed anything.

[07:39] ok next [07:39] 791 is the 1024x768 mode [07:39] carl_: sudo make install === yassin_ is now known as yassin [07:39] There are other modes also, see gentoo Handbook under grub install for details [07:40] hey, what's a good wifi detection and conection application? [07:40] vgramanathan, i want to insert like "1024x768@60Hz" [07:41] yokobr : Which resolution do you want to change, the grub screen's or your display resolution after logging in? [07:41] ok next [07:41] Is there an application that will help me organize my applications menu? [07:41] carl_: cd .. back out to /kiba [07:41] after login [07:41] carl_: then do cd kiba-g (and hit tab---this will autocomplete so you don't typo it) [07:42] vgramanathan, my default desktop screen. Like on xorg.conf. [07:42] yokobr : You don't have to do this in grub configuration, edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [07:42] I noticed that sometimes files are downloaded from security.ubuntu.com instead of my local mirror while doing system update. Is it intentional or my mirror does not have that files? [07:42] yeap. [07:42] I'm looking to secure my home network, and was wondering if there was a way to scan a range of ip's for a responding ftp file server? If so, how is it done and can it be defended against?

[08:32] latest [08:32] jotham have you checked the md5 checksum for the iso?

[08:37] crabgrass what file is it looking for? [08:37] !grub | crabgrass [08:37] crabgrass: 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 [08:37] th0r: didn't write it down, it's the path to the kernel [08:37] hi, teh md5 of the iso is fine [08:37] crabgrass: does booting to the old kernel work any better? (it shouldnt) [08:38] Flannel: either that option isnt there, or it doesnt [08:38] one last time: does anyone use a tvtuner ? [08:38] hataricus: what kinda tuner u got? [08:39] winfast leadtek tv 2000 xp expert [08:39] crabgrass: alright. Well, by hitting 'e' you can edit the GRUB entries while in the GRUB menu, if you want to try fiddling with anything. Whatever you change isn't permanent either. If you were on a liveCD, and could pastebin the menu.lst, that'd be helpful in troubleshooting [08:39] go to their forums [08:39] did that [08:39] hataricus, i have one installed, I set it up using the app tvtime which seems to work ok [08:39] post the hell out of them [08:39] they do no support linux [08:39] Flannel: i am indeed on a livecd, will do. [08:39] pfff, samfoolery [08:39] dgjones when i try running tvtime i get an error with yuy2 overlay not supported [08:40] dgjones: hataricus is having issues with tvtime [08:40] thnx; ) [08:40] when I remove a package that has dependencies, are those removed also? [08:40] draconpern not usually [08:40] anyway to do so? [08:41] crabgrass: Make sure youre posting the one you've mounted (thats on the HD) and not the one in the filesystem [08:41] draconpern you can remove unneeded dependencies with sudo apt-get autoremove [08:41] ? [08:41] dgjones are you still there ? [08:41] th0r: Thanks! [08:41] hataricus, not sure what to suggest, mine was an old card that "just worked" so i've not had to do any messing around with it, you might be better asking in a couple of hours to see if there's anybody else around that can help [08:41] Flannel: i'm posting the one in /boot on the partition i boot from. is that correct? [08:41] Flannel: http://pastebin.com/d25acc1e3 [08:41] mine is an old car too, about 3 years now [08:42] somebody here? [08:42] hataricus, thats new compared to mine :) [08:42] thank you than :) [08:42] crabgrass: right. You'll browse to your harddrive, then boot inside of that [08:42] hataricus: a couple of hours is a while its 342 eastern time, come back in like 12 hours 13 [08:42] lol itsh 10:42 in the morning here:) [08:42] Flannel: yeah. i had to mount this partition to read the file. [08:42] Randompolygamy: what i would do then is go to a flash site and click on where it tells you to download flash_player. it'll send u to a download page. choose the debian/ubuntu install (.tar.gz).after its done downloading use your file browser and go to the dir where u had it downloaded (i think the default is desktop in which case it'll just show up on your gnome desktop if that's what you're using). right click the .tar.gz file a [08:42] nd tell it to extract it. then go into the dir that's formed in the command line and type ./flashplayer-installer to run the installer. then just close down firefox and open it back up. that should fix it [08:42] yeah, come back at 11 pm there then [08:43] so im guessing you do not see daylight if you look outside your windows :P ? [08:43] i just woke up :)) [08:43] hataricus, i suppose you could ask in the mythtv channel to see if there are any known problems with the card running with mythtv, they might have a suggestion [08:43] crabgrass: this looks normal. You have two harddrives, and linux is on the second? [08:44] thnx will try joing them :) [08:44] its 8:43 for me and still dark outside, i hate these winter mornings [08:44] flannel: i have two disks, but my main has three partitions.

[09:12] Sionide, the mount points will be in /media/mountpoint, if you change the mountpoint to /mnt/mountpoint that should remove them from the desktop (mountpoint is the name of your mountpoint) [09:12] dgjones, ah ha, thanks a lot [09:14] mactimes, thank you [09:14] Sionide, you could run gconf-editor in a terminal and change a setting under apps->nautilus->Desktop called volumes visible and uncheck the box, but that wouldn't put usb keys or other external drives etc on the desktop when you plug them in [09:15] ah yup yup [09:15] would prefer to have usb keys come up though [09:16] good monring [09:17] Sionide, seems easier, its a change i need to get round to making on my machine as well [09:17] Someone help.

I changed it accidently [09:37] and I don't where can I change it [09:37] white eagle before you log in [09:37] gerro i'll try completely removing all compiz crap and reinstalling it completely [09:37] yokobr: umm try this rmmod zc0301 then modprobe gspca and that should switch drivers perhaps get it working [09:37] there should be some place called session [09:37] gerro do you konw what repo emerald themes are downloaded from and all their dependencies? b/c it won't let me download [09:37] ugh [09:37] ricky_ no not that [09:37] hrm, question, in solaris you can do a loopback mount which allows you to mount a directory point on a seperate directory (so you can have the same directory on /blah and /mnt at the same time without doing linking, it allows you to do it across file systems etc), is there equivelant functionality in ubuntu and if so how do I use it [09:37] and u just go to that and click gnome and when u log in it will ask if you want to make it default [09:37] programs keep crashing [09:38] (in solaris its called lofs) [09:38] akorn: try gnome-looks site its pretty good [09:38] I want to change the login screen to be gnome default [09:38] this is frustrating [09:38] it is controled by some KDE app [09:38] gerro, FATAL: Module gspca not found. [09:38] OOooo sorry [09:38] symmetria: yes there is however I use gmount-iso because I'm a newb [09:38] gerro okay thanks [09:38] yokober: what can I do for this problem. [09:39] yokobr: can you find that module in the repository and install it? [09:39] ricky_, understand me? I need to change the login screen [09:39] in ubuntu where is the ifcfg-eth0 [09:39] not the Desktop Enviroment [09:39] yeah i'm not sure how to do it though sorry [09:39] can you told me the path of ifcfg-eth0 [09:39] gerro, like sudo apt-get install gspca? [09:40] nandu: you mean ifconfig? think its in /usr/bin [09:40] gerro any idea how to do it, this isnt an iso that I wanna mount btw :) its a directory [09:40] <_mug> morning [09:40] yokobr: I think so, sort of tweaking my window manager and can't find synaptic right now to check [09:40] where I change the interface ip & some setting in ehich file [09:40] symmetria: think directory/iso/any file its all the same [09:41] nandu: try /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf [09:41] white_eagle: I think you can do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" [09:41] white_eagle: install gdm to have the gnome login screen [09:42] no this is not present /etc/network/interfaces [09:42] white_eagle: I'm assuming you have gdm installed already, or have ubuntu-desktop installed? [09:42] ObeyRoy: what programs you working with? [09:42] RoseGarden [09:42] Kopete occasionally [09:43] aha mount -o bind <3 [09:43] vspike ubuntu-desktop [09:43] ObeyRoy: just you said you were having crash troubles [09:43] how to change the ubuntu logo in the top left? [09:43] Symmetria: you'll forget it by the morning most likely :P [09:43] gerro: Yeah, those are the programs that crash [09:44] gerro heh nah, writing fstab files now :) [09:44] white_eagle: then I think the dpkg-reconfigure will allow you to choose the display manager [09:44] gerro, nope. [09:44] white_eagle: there is this thing under settings called "login window" it should have a section all about gdm [09:44] can somebody recommeng a good text editor that supports code folding, highlighting and code completion [09:45] ah Vspike thanks! [09:45] sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm workde [09:45] redd0t: scite is pretty nice [09:45] worked* [09:45] white_eagle: cool :) [09:45] gerro: okay [09:45] This is really frustrating, I'm trying to get ubuntu up to where it's better than windows [09:45] how to change the ubuntu logo in the top left? [09:45] but right now, it's not able to do what i was doing with windows [09:45] can someone tell me how I can update my nvidia drivers...I am using the restricted drivers that come with the installation [09:46] I need to change the picture of the logo [09:46] also, is there a way to set the gnome terminal to a specified size so i don't have to change it everytime i reopen a term window [09:46] ObeyRoy: kinda asked you what was crashing but you haven't spoken [09:46] white_eagle: not sure, but you could try looking at http://www.gnome-look.org/ [09:46] bye [09:46] gerro: Rosegarden and Kopete keep crashing [09:46] Kopete less now that I'm not messing with preferences [09:47] gerro: how do i set up code completion in scite [09:47] ObeyRoy: hmm I use kopete frequently without crashes which preferences were causing trouble? just now heard of Rosegarden but looks like a friend of mine might like it [09:48] gerro, any idea about how can i install that module? [09:48] can someone tell me how I can update my nvidia drivers...I am using the restricted drivers that come with the installation [09:48] mikebeecham: use the nvidia-glx-new in the repository [09:48] gerro: nevermind [09:48] redd0t: found it? [09:48] gerro: when i was editing my IRC connection [09:49] hi [09:49] gerro: I always wondered that. so nvidia-glx-new is the bleeding edge version and nvidia-glx is the stable version? [09:49] gerro: yeah. that is weird. i was expecting it to be like automatic code completion. but the shortcut is actually probly nicer [09:49] ObeyRoy: oh I've never used irc with it before usually use pidgin for that. I mainly use kopete for the audio/webcam features [09:50] gerro....what is that [09:50] VSpike: the nvidia-glx one is the works for most one and the -new one is for later models that are a bit different [09:50] gerro: well, it hasn't crashed yet today. Mostly Rosegarden is the problem now. [09:50] <_mug> does any1 know where i can change, how many torrents are downloaded simultaneously in azureus? it seems to be limited to 2 after install, and i cant find where to change that.. [09:50] VSpike: you might have better performance with the nvidia-glx one though [09:50] gerro...how can I tell whether my card is supported on glx-new? [09:51] mikebeecham: doesn't it list that in synaptic? [09:51] gerro: I'm just using what the restricted manager chose for me, and I have nvidia-glx-new installed [09:52] gerro: not sure [09:52] Vspike: is it working and all? [09:53] gerro....the glx-new is already installed [09:53] mikebeecham: and its not working? [09:53] gerro: sure is [09:53] gerro: the game did not, even though i thought it was supported in wine [09:54] hi guys, I've a problem with gparted. I boot it from cd but when it starts to load kernel it stop to recognise my keyboard. I've tried with another keyboard and also with the other boot options but nothing. I haven't got an usb keyboard. How can I solve? Thanks [09:54] gerro: just always wondered what the difference was [09:54] mikebeecham: wine has nothing to do if your system is working or not, native programs can tell wine outputs windows errors not linux ones [09:55] ObeyRoy: suggest you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs and install rosegarden-dbgsym package. Then try and submit some bug reports [09:55] mikebeecham: try doing glxinfo | grep "direct" to see if you have direct rendering going or not [09:55] ObeyRoy: It's something you can do to help the developers improve the software that you value [09:55] VSpike okay, thanks [09:55] gerro [09:55] yes [09:55] hey guys, anyone could help me to install my cam? i know that the actual module running is zc0301, my cam model, but it didnt worded. [09:56] worked* [09:56] mikebeecham: have you rebooted since it installed the nvidia drivers? that sometimes slips my mind to do [09:56] ObeyRoy: sorry it's not a fix for you but it will be appreciated by the devs hopefuily :) [09:56] Also [09:56] Hey all, [09:57] where does one set the default page size used for printing/pdf output? [09:57] I am having a bit of an issue telling this program to open something with wine when it is downloaded [09:57] it has a list of programs, but wine is not on there [09:57] ObeyRoy: usually its best even if on windows to download the program then open it [09:57] gerro...oh, I've rebooted many times since [09:58] ObeyRoy: sometimes leads to problems otherwise [09:58] gerro: I don't have that option here [09:58] hi folks: i've got a box that i want to turn into a mythbuntu box but it doesn't have internet connection. i need to know what packages i have to download to ease dhcp and nfs server administration so i can install it offline at home [09:58] I'm trying to install wow [09:58] ObeyRoy: then choose open with and do custom command and put wine [09:59] hehe [09:59] that was an easy fix [09:59] And, if you don't mind me asking, which media player do you use for music? there ar e a lot out there [10:00] ObeyRoy: totem however mplayer is awesome if you can manage to set it up properly [10:00] how's that? [10:00] ObeyRoy: if you want just audio and something really lite to run in the background some use xmms, its very themeable too [10:01] hi guys, I've a problem with gparted. I boot it from cd but when it starts to load kernel it stop to recognise my keyboard. I've tried with another keyboard and also with the other boot options but nothing. I haven't got an usb keyboard. How can I solve? Thanks [10:02] ObeyRoy: I favour amarok, but it is a kde app so will use a bit more resources as it loads kde libs. On a modern PC, you wont notice. It's awesome if you have a big collection you need to tame [10:02] i like rhythmbox [10:02] Vspike: you ever tried banshee? my sister likes that one [10:03] my gf uses audacious [10:03] gerro: the only issue with banshee is that you need to make a playlist for every album you have [10:03] or find it in a huge list [10:03] DVS01: yeah my cousin got a kick out of doing recordings with audacious [10:03] banshee's not great for media management [10:03] indeed [10:03] gerro i think youre talkig about audacity [10:03] i hear exaile's nice tho [10:03] DVS01: oh darn your right [10:04] gerro: I've always stuck with amarok. I tried xmms but didn't like it. in the past I've always hated the "media library" organisers that players had and just used the file system to organise. Amarok is the first app I've used where I actually like its organisational side [10:04] VSpike: try rhythmbox [10:04] can fs errors cause a complete system freeze if theyre not on root? [10:04] bidossessi: when I tried exaile I had trouble with it staying running in background through this python process [10:04] mikebeecham: is that the itunes-alike think that pops up when i plug my media player in? [10:04] it's less cumbersome than amarok, and does what it does very well [10:04] how can i get my fs checked on next book? [10:05] VSpike: not sure what it does on your machine...it will pop up if you have that media player set as default I would imagine [10:06] gtk-wise, i'd say rhythmbox holds the top of the charts for me right now, but then, i use gmpc so... [10:06] is it possible to update ext2 to ext3 easily? and does it reduce the effectivness of having an encrypted fs? [10:06] XBehave: All bets are off with weird FS errors. Let me check on the easiest way for you to check your disk. Normally you can just boot into single user mode and check it [10:07] anyone know if a mount -o bind /directory1 /directory2 is going to put any additional load on the system when you start doing heavy reads off the loopback mount? [10:07] mikebeecham: I'll give it a try. It's a lot more GNOMEish and I am trying to find GNOME alternatives to the few KDE apps I hang on to. I always used KDE and I'm trying to give GNOME a fair try for a while :) === af_rizal is now known as dillah [10:08] VSpike: it should work well for you...I dont mind kde...but it's all a bit glossy for me really [10:08] still havent ditched digikam or k3b though [10:08] VSpike: some KDE apps are best-of-breed [10:08] imho [10:08] VSpike, fspot really rocks, tho [10:08] VSpike: but do let us know if you find someting better than K3B [10:08] xBehave: yes its very easy to update ext2 to ext3 but you can't go back you use the mkefs.ext3 command I think [10:09] only kde app i can't replace is quanta [10:09] mosno, anything is better than k3b [10:09] XBehave: looks like that's the easiest way. Reboot, press escape and do Recovery. At the shell, run 'fsck /dev/hdx' make sure you know which partition and drive it is and substitute it. [10:10] Symmetria: if it purrs too loud just kick it and should work ;) [10:10] the thing that bugs me about fspot is the way it wants to move all your photos. and the way that when you import them, you have all your photos (in my case about 6000) in a single level view [10:10] anybody around, i need help with this error "Cant init video driver xshm, trying auto" [10:10] please [10:10] And no, later versions of ext3 only store metadata. so your stuff is still safe [10:10] this is in kaffeine [10:10] I've probably not given a fair chance yet though - was just put off by that [10:11] iirc [10:11] VSpike: the thing that shits me about certain GTK+/Gnome apps is all-style, no-substance [10:11] ymmv [10:11] well ive checked my /home/user and fixed errors i just didnt think it would crash system, ill update it to ext3 next time i need to mount it thx zionpsyfer gerro [10:11] fspot really sucks [10:11] mosno: please moderate your language, ubuntu has a no swearing policy [10:11] !webmin [10:11] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu.

[10:14] gerro: MOST GTK+ apps do not fully utilise the Gnome Platform [10:15] mosno: what gnome platform? all they do is kill off features in the gui [10:15] gerro: HAL/D-BUS/GTK+/Cairo/Corba/ATK/Pango/etc/etc [10:15] Balachmar: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE) .

[10:16] gerro: Gnome PLATFORM rocks, it's Gnome Desktop that you don't like [10:16] mosno: I thought it was the window manager I didn't like.. [10:16] Balachmar: Start with 'kde'. [10:16] gerro: well, that's a part of the desktop. [10:17] mosno: I'll just stick to the lite stuff where everything is all modular and not coupled up like a ball of poo [10:17] gerro: hahahaha ok [10:17] gerro: what's your desktop setup then? [10:18] mosno: gerro take it to #ubuntu-offtopic perhaps ? [10:18] mosno: xfce/fluxbox working on a hybrid though also xfce tends to eat fluxbox [10:18] mosno: gerro looks like a good dicussion to have [10:19] ikonia: so did the media player one a few minutes ago :) [10:19] gerro: I missed it [10:19] gerro: take to -offtopic and I'll be keen to follow it [10:19] +1 [10:20] wow g15 keyboard is really fun, i can program all my own little widgets to put on it, in any language... now if only World of Warcraft's UI wasn't sandboxed [10:20] VSpike: superkaramba perhaps? [10:21] That or gdesklets [10:23] my friends are telling me that ubuntu and linux are so much worse then windows. is it true that windows is so much better [10:23] zax1 thats personal opinion and not really a good discussion for this channel [10:23] that's a subjective question if I've ever heard one.

[10:27] zionpsyfer: that's what I wondered, except it's a gnome desktop. I thought superkaramba was KDE only? [10:27] ikonia: What's the command to start Nautilus in the gksudo window? [10:27] the command is nautilus [10:28] ikonia: I typed it with capital N... my mistake. [10:28] zax1: also read http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/ and http://www.seul.org/docs/whylinux.html [10:28] why does my card reader not work? [10:29] VSpike: yea, but they could be running it anyway. Those are the only two I know of. I'd like to know now too. ;) That sidebar.... I could almost replace vista on my brothers comp without him knowing. [10:30] anyone? [10:30] i have a few noob question in regards to installing, as i use snyaptic, if i add repos what is the purpose of keys? and what is deb-src is that the debian source? [10:31] zionpsyfer: I've always been dubious about the value of those things anyway. They look really nice, but everytime I've installed anything like that I end up removing it a day later [10:32] zetheroo: There might not be a driver for it. Does it pop up when you plug it in? Do you notice anything happen? [10:32] zionpsyfer: besides, I only see my desktop when I log in :) [10:32] zionpsyfer: nothing at all [10:32] VSpike: Same. =P gkrellm usually stays though. Non intrusive and it works well [10:32] zetheroo: What is the make/model of the reader? [10:33] zionpsyfer: gkrellm is pretty cool === _3 is now known as ima-n00b [10:33] zionpsyfer: how can I tell? [10:33] zionpsyfer: its built into the laptop [10:33] Csaba: the keys allow the packages to be signed, and then allow you to check if they have been modified or tampered with === brynk__ is now known as brynk [10:34] zetheroo: Does it have any writing on it? [10:34] Csaba: the deb-src provides the source packages. Most of the time you won't need these. [10:34] zionpsyfer: the laptop? [10:34] can i find a usb adsl modem drivers for ubuntu ? its a dynamode c4w-adslusb i cant find it anywhere and from reading the help pages, think maybe ubuntu does not support a usb modem ? [10:34] zetheroo: Ooooh, it's built in? What laptop? [10:35] Vspike Cheers [10:35] zionpsyfer: Compaq Presario V3000 [10:35] morning... i just tried to install the latest alpha and i noticed something rather weird (but absolutely reproducable): i have two nvidia cards in my system. after running the installer for a few minutes, suddenly all monitors go blank (and tell me that there's no signal) [10:35] it's not happening at some magic point during installing, but seems rather time-based [10:36] anyone ever experienced something similar? [10:36] VSpike: screenlets looks like it's the app [10:36] http://www.fredforfaen.com/wp-content/2007-08-24-031634_1440x900_scrot.png [10:36] can anyone think of a novel way to get realtime data out of WoW without hooking a function and without using too much CPU? I want to display information on my G15 keyboard, but the UI language is sandboxed and if their anti-cheating program catches you hooking a function they'll ban you. I was thinking maybe get it from a strip of pixels in the corner of the window, 3 bytes per pixel, can do quite a bit with 30 bytes, and it'd be pretty [10:36] Is anyone here knowledgable with dansguardian and squid? [10:37] I am running a proxy with filter, and have a set of iptable rules that send users in the 'users' group to dansguardian, which works wonderfully, and a rule that send users through to 'staff' directly to the proxy, which gives a access denied message no matter what page is visited [10:37] sounds questionalbe Pie-rate [10:37] i need to turn my swap off, but i get the error "swapoff: /dev/sda4: Cannot allocate memory" any ideas? [10:38] could i make a swap file on a second drive? [10:38] zetheroo: Try these instructions. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1931380&posted=1#post1931380 [10:38] I dont understand why this happens since the dansguardian users have to go through the proxy after dans as well, but dont get any access denied [10:39] i'm about to remove openoppice.org, which will remove kubuntu-desktop as well. however in a few days, hopefully, kubuntu will have a new version upgrade along with the release of kde4.0. i'm guessing i will have to reinstall kubuntu-desktop to do 'aptitude upgrade,' right? if this is the case, is there a way to keep openoffice.org from being installed? i'm assuming kubuntu will be coming with ooo since koffice2 isn't yet ready. [10:39] what repos would i add to install for Kiba Dock and keep updated? SVN? [10:39] zionpsyfer: interesting.. thanks === Evkaz_43-region is now known as Evkaz_43-region| [10:39] zionpsyfer: I forgot to say that the card I am having trouble with is an XD card [10:40] xoqa: kubuntu-desktop is a virtual package. It gets removed because you are removing a part of it, but actually no other real packages get removed [10:40] VSpike: heh, thanks for letting me know about that. [10:41] zionpsyfer: doesn't look like it's in the repos though [10:41] VSpike: will i need it to upgrade to the latest kubuntu? [10:41] hey [10:41] i need help [10:41] hi Gudril [10:41] k shoot [10:41] xoqa: I don't think so. A distribution upgrade should upgrade what you have installed, basically [10:42] VSpike: good point, thanks. [10:42] i had install Ubuntu the first time to make it to a webhost server with apache and mysql [10:42] is there no compatibility for XD cards in Ubuntu? [10:42] the install is end and now im log in in Ubunto... but there is no KDE or Gnome [10:42] xoqa: there are some exceptions, like saying that some packages are obsolete and have to be removed, or some packages are replaced by other ones... but generally yeah it should be OK [10:42] VSpike: i'm curious how i'm going to be upgrading to kde4.0 without kubuntu-desktop [10:43] man pm-action writes: "var/log/pm-suspend.log: The log file showing what is done on suspend/hibernate and resume/thaw."

[10:44] xoqa: yeah it might be a special case because of the two versions of kde being included.. not sure [10:44] ? [10:44] zetheroo: your guess is as good as mine, i'd have to search the web for the answer [10:44] xoqa i think so [10:44] xody mom, i try [10:44] zetheroo: try running 'lshw' in a terminal and looking for your reader in the list is spews. We're looking for 'ricoh' that's supposedly the brand. Does it? [10:44] "the programm startx is currently not installt" [10:45] Gudril: have you done a server install [10:45] Hi all....what is the partion/format tool used with linux to change a disk to ext3? many thanks === QaDeS_ is now known as QaDeS [10:45] zionpsyfer: yes its a Ricoh [10:45] ikedaman yes [10:45] karti: use gparted [10:45] Gudril: have you tried the command "xdm" to see if it's installed? [10:45] Have you tried those instructions on that link [10:45] zionpsyfer: yes [10:45] Nubae: MAny thanks [10:45] Gah [10:46] zionpsyfer: nothing doing.... [10:46] zionpsyfer: I think thats for SD cards [10:46] xoqa no, but there was a help to install, i wrote "startx" so i follow the help and now startx is installing [10:46] interesting. [10:46] Can any of you recommend an IRC channe l that's good for simply chatting? Can be on another server [10:47] Gudril: did you install a server version? [10:47] Gudril: if that doesn't work, install xorg [10:47] Gudril: sudo aptitude install xorg [10:47] Gudril: did you do a server install [10:47] VSpike yes, i think i must do because i wont start a webserver on linux [10:47] ikonia: yes he did [10:47] ObeyRoy: #defocus [10:47] Gudril: use the desktop version, there is no reason for you to use the server version [10:47] ok now its a error if i type it [10:47] ObeyRoy: #ubuntu-ot or whatever the off-topic channel is? [10:48] ObeyRoy: #ubuntu-offtopic is the correct channel [10:48] Gudril: if you want to get a desktop now, just do sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop [10:48] Gudril: type 'startx'? [10:48] is there a repo for Screenlets [10:48] Gudril: install the desktop cd - not the server one [10:48] Gudril: probably because you don't have xorg installed [10:48] Gudril: yeah, you might want to what ikonia said and install the apps you need afterwards [10:48] Gudril: the desktop version will do all you want it to do and have better gui intergration [10:49] zetheroo, # Ubuntu repository for Screenlets (GPG key: F854AFD7) [10:49] # GPG key-file: http://hendrik.kaju.pri.ee/ubuntu/F854AFD7.gpg [10:49] deb http://hendrik.kaju.pri.ee/ubuntu feisty screenlets [10:49] deb-src http://hendrik.kaju.pri.ee/ubuntu feisty screenlets [10:49] Varka: so thats a safe one?

[10:50] Gudril: and the desktop environment of your choice [10:50] ikonia: if he installs the ubuntu-desktop package won't that achieve the same thing? [10:50] different model of laptop though [10:50] xorg is installt [10:50] VSpike: no [10:50] ikonia: interesting - why not? [10:50] Gudril: what do you get when you type 'startx' now? [10:51] it starts [10:51] Gudril: well your not really learning - your just asking what to do. I strongly advise you to use the desktop CD as it is a better fit for your purpose [10:51] a mystery display [10:51] VSpike: 1.) the server install has different backend - eg: can't use restricted drivers 2.) the desktop is just that, the desktop not all the backend intergration [10:51] ikonia: ah ok... thanks [10:52] you have a VSpike, Gudril, you may just want to install 'ubuntu-desktop' if you are wanting a gnome deskto and 'kubuntu-desktop' if you want a kde desktop. if you are running a server, you may want 'xubuntu-desktop' [10:52] you have a point* [10:52] how can u add the key or generate one for deb http://hendrik.kaju.pri.ee/ubuntu feisty screenlets [10:52] zionpsyfer: thanks... but again it seems that people are still having issues with XD cards [10:52] ikonia: must admit, i always assumed that the server install was just a different default package selection [10:53] VSpike: in some ways it is, in other less obvious ways, it's not [10:53] ikonia: and it's subtle enough that dpkg can't fix it for you by pulling in dependancies? [10:54] of course, Gudril, ideally what you have right now, no x.org is fine for a server [10:54] VSpike: well not all the intergration are dependencies, some of them are handy things to have, not requirments [10:54] ikonia: true [10:54] VSpike: eg; you can have a desktop without say udev/hal/dbus intergration [10:54] VSpike: but without that, nothing will auto mount [10:54] grrs.. no sleep it should be "ideally, no x.org is fine for a server" [10:54] VSpike: as an easy example [10:55] and i'm off to learn some more programming [10:55] later guys [10:55] thanks again VSpike [10:55] Gudril: I strongly advise you to install the ubuntu-desktop cd [10:55] ikonia: yes, very good point [10:56] VSpike: that's just an easy example to put the point across, there is more to it than that === animimotus is now known as animim{o}tus [10:57] how do i open ports on my ubuntu server? my vent server shows up on netstat -pant but my cs server dont, its running but with very high ping.

[11:20] d3xt3r: "/join #ubuntu-it" no quotes [11:20] deostroll: yes [11:20] !it [11:20] VSpike: lol, yeah it doesn't like that line [11:20] ikonia: ok will I be able to install adobe flash player instead? [11:21] thanks indygunfreak [11:21] deostroll: debatable, I think not [11:21] zionpsyfer__: I think you can do sudo sh -c "echo blah >> foo" but the quoting could get hairy so sudo -i seems easier [11:22] VSpike: Heh, I'm lazy. sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list [11:22] VSpike: You're right though, and those instructions for ubuntu should reflect that. [11:22] can i resize an active physical volume, being used for lvm? [11:23] XBehave: no [11:23] Where are the icons of most applications stored? [11:23] ikonia: I got the gnash package...tried to configure it. It told me some packages were missing. One of them was libxml2-dev. [11:23] I'm looking for the kde logout/shutdown etc button icons in particular [11:23] VSpike: echo blah | sudo tee -a somefile [11:23] deostroll: I told you it won't work [11:23] ikonia: ok. [11:24] zetheroo: if you install screenlets, I also had to mkdir $HOME/.config/Screenlets or it would not work [11:24] VSpike: oh really [11:24] void^: cool thanks - i figured there had to be something like that [11:26] VSpike: now that I installed it... where do I find it? [11:27] VSpike: I launched screenlets manager and I get this error messege: Unable to connect or launch daemon. Some values may be displayed incorrectly. [11:27] zetheroo: System->Preferences [11:27] This is an issue with winxp & ubuntu. I run winxp. No issues with sys time. I reboot and run ubuntu. No issues still. Now if I reboot and run xp. The time changes...how to stop this. [11:28] zetheroo: yeah, that seems to be bogus. If you try and start the daemon, it tells you its obsolete and to run the manager. [11:28] zetheroo: when i ran the manager again, it worked [11:29] where the lvm issues fixed since gutsy betas? it used to crash if lvm scanned kernel mounted partitions [11:29] zetheroo: most of the included screenlets seem to be pretty useless. I'm just trying to figure how to install a 3rd party one. The instructions on the site say to unpack to $HOME/.Screenlets but that doesn't seem to work. The manager has an install option, but that tells me it's not a valid screenlet archive. [11:29] Good morning [11:29] VSpike: hmmm [11:30] VSpike: I can't even figure out how to see something on the Desktop [11:30] zetheroo: it's not very polished, is it? [11:30] VSpike: well the screenshots look great [11:30] ha [11:30] Hi people :) [11:31] zetheroo: start the manager from the terminal and see what output it gives you. That's how i found out about the missing directory [11:31] VSpike: [11:31] ok [11:31] VSpike: whats the command? [11:31] I have a system time issue between winxp & ubuntu. Can anyone help? [11:31] I have my primary disk set up like this Primary partition:ntfs(vista) Secondary partition: ubuntu Grub installed in boot loader- Since ubuntu has replaced all of my desktop stuff apart from games i want to downgrade to XP, If delete vista partiton and reinstall what will happen to grub? will i have to reinstall it after xp install? [11:32] VSpike: I did screenlets-manager and it worked with no errors [11:32] Hey i have installt ubuntu-desktop. How i can start it? [11:32] VSpike: but how do I get anything to show on the desktop? [11:32] hi,is it possible to a script to be ran through evolution mail? [11:33] VSpike: oh ... have a look at this when I try to enable an applet: [11:33] Clock [11:33] Launch Clock [11:33] Launching Screenlet from: /usr/local/share/screenlets/Clock/ClockScreenlet.py [11:33] Logging output goes to: $HOME/.config/Screenlets/ClockScreenlet.log [11:33] sh: cannot create /home/zeth/.config/Screenlets/ClockScreenlet.log: Directory nonexistent [11:33] zetheroo: yeah, that's what i meant about having to create $HOME/.config/Screenlets [11:34] Hey i have installt ubuntu-desktop. How i can start it? [11:34] zetheroo: this FAQ is actually quite useful and also points to another repo http://www.screenlets.org/index.php/FAQ [11:34] Gudril: turn on your pc? =s [11:34] he's right [11:34] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start? [11:35] Gudril: yeah what Starnestommy said [11:35] okay, I was just minding my own business [11:35] and the my screen went black [11:35] VSpike please? [11:35] I wasited, then pressed ctrl-alt-f7 [11:35] What will happen to grub if I reinstall windows (i want to kill vista and replace it with xp) [11:35] VSpike: ok I made the folder and its working now [11:35] and then i found myself at the login screen [11:35] I logged in, and my previous session was gone [11:36] g0rbeh i mean which command line i type to start the installt gui? [11:36] Gudril: It should start automaticaly if the install has gone without problems [11:36] Gudril: try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [11:37] Can anyone explain what happened? [11:37] can an LVM partition be used for a swap thats used for hibernation? [11:37] I want to insert a code in vhdl but it split my code when I use \lstinputlisting and when I use \mbox{\lstinputlisting{./LAB2/mio_fsm.vhd}} I loose a part of my code at the bottom of my page Someone have an idea to have a block text on 2 or three page ?? [11:37] Sorry in Latex :) [11:38] does anybody know how to chat using the terminal? [11:38] icqcenter [11:38] is it possible? [11:38] ? [11:38] Gudril: you can try the above (/etc/init.d/gdm start) or if thats not working and you need some more feedback try startx [11:38] mrpogi_: as in irc [11:38] well no [11:38] haha [11:38] Gudril: install the desktop cd - that is the tool you need [11:38] mrpogi_: look at the talk daemon [11:38] hi,is it possible to a script to be ran through evolution mail? [11:38] sorry my first time to use irc [11:39] ikonia gnome is ready =) === zax1_ is now known as zax1 [11:39] what's a talk daemon? [11:39] what's a talk daemon? [11:39] Gudril no - gnome desktop is ready, the gnome intergration and environment is not [11:39] If i reinstall XP over my vista partition will grub get nuked? will i be able to just boot some install disk after windows install and reload grub? [11:39] mrpogi_: I just told you to research it, the name sort of gies it away [11:40] g0rbeh: if grub is on the boot sector of that drive - yes [11:40] hi can anyone tell me how to start ubuntu up in text-mode? [11:40] Hi all .. I've got a friend asking me to load an old computer up for his daughter (Kindergarden) .. I told him Linux will run on it, but I'm not a fan of Xubuntu, and I think Ubuntu might be a little too much. Can I install just xfce4 w/out all the extra stuff it normally comes with? [11:40] Rodolfo: is X refusing to run or giving corrupted display on start ? [11:41] NineTeen67Comet: what extra stuff ? [11:41] NineTeen67Comet: what is the spec of the machine [11:41] I have an issue with system time between ubuntu & windows xp. Can anyone help. [11:41] Well, it seems like when I installed xubuntu-desktop it loaded a ton .. and xfce4 seems to put a lot of the same things on there.. [11:41] deostroll ir you 3splqin h3 iwwu3 [11:41] deostroll: linux usually wants the system time set to UTC, while windows requires the hardware clock be set to local [11:41] deostroll: oops [11:41] Tidus: I'm experiencing crashes very frequently, the system just freezes.... [11:41] deostroll: if ou ask a question [11:42] ikonia: it is a 450mhz, 256mb ram, 16mb pci video card and not a whole lot more .. [11:42] NineTeen67Comet: that stuff is "needed" to install the xfce desktop environment [11:42] NineTeen67Comet: well all that "stuff" is just disk space [11:42] Rodolfo: as soon as it starts up, hit CTRL+ALT+F1, then type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [11:42] NineTeen67Comet: it won't effect it's performance [11:42] Tidus: no matter what I'm doing. when running a game sometimes nothing happen though [11:42] that'll put it in text mode [11:42] Tidus: so no way to fix it. [11:42] Tidus:? [11:42] VSpike: yeah... we really need more applets [11:43] deostroll: there is a way to fix it, but i'm not entirely sure on how to make ubuntu see that the hardware clock is set to local [11:43] ikonia: I know, but it's just more I have to pull from the menu and the hd isn't much (not sure how much, but I would assume it is 10gig or less) [11:43] any takers to answer that one? [11:43] NineTeen67Comet all that stuff isn't much space, they could all be 1k [11:43] NineTeen67Comet: i had xubuntu installed and running fine on a p2-233 laptop with 128mb ram and a 4G HD [11:43] VSpike: Got the watermark to install. [11:43] whole system took like 1.2G [11:44] Tidus: Ok. No issues. [11:44] ikonia: I'll give'r a try anyhow .. Tidus .. I run a few servers with Ubuntu-server 8.04 Alpha2 and they are a couple of 256mb 450mhz boxes them self .. they seem to be happy .. [11:44] How do you enable NUM LOCK while os loads? [11:45] deostroll bios [11:45] NineTeen67Comet: i got a kubuntu 7.04 machine serving as a fileserver / foot rest :P [11:45] p3-450 dell with 128mb ram [11:45] ikonia: I was hoping something to do with os configuration... [11:45] deostroll: it's not [11:46] deostroll: isn't that some kind of bios setting? [11:46] Hi. I just added the unmetered package repository that my ISP hosts to my sources.list but now i think i have several versions of the same package lists. Could someone please take a look and tell me if i can comment out any of these lines: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51427/ [11:46] Tidus: is there any command to show me some info related to xserver-xorg-conf? I need to figure out my current X version... [11:46] Tidus: Gotta love bringing back to old stuff .. People just keep giving me boxes, so I keep finding uses .. I feel bad, I've got an 800mhz box as my Media computer in my bedroom that would do this little girl great, but I ain't givin' it up .. [11:46] deostroll: sorry.. didn't read the log properly... [11:46] ikonia: But if my NUM lock was "on" and I was booting ubuntu, it would go off. [11:47] deostroll: it's nothing to do with the OS [11:47] Rodolfo: at the command prompt, type X -version [11:47] zetheroo: the manager's install still doesn't work for me, but if you unpack to $HOME/.screenlets it seems to work. [11:47] ikonia: where to specify this in the bios? [11:47] ikonia: i mean set...? [11:47] NineTeen67Comet: join me in #ubuntu-offtopic please [11:47] deostroll: I don't know, I don't support your bios [11:47] zetheroo: if you try and register one to start on login, it starts whining about missing directories again [11:47] VSpike: there is no .screenlets folder for me [11:47] zetheroo: you need to make it [11:48] zetheroo: you probably install the screenlet called sidebar [11:48] ikonia: any keywords you have in mind regarding bioss u support...? [11:48] I'm wondering if the tuxfamily repo would be any better than this [11:48] deostroll: no [11:48] VSpike: someone said to put the new applets in here /usr/local/share/screenlets [11:48] Tidus: thank you [11:49] deostroll: It shouldnt be too complicated, just get into bios and look for anythign to do with numlock ;) [11:49] ikonia: ok. no issues. [11:50] VSpike: oh yeah...that worked well [11:50] zetheroo: in the faq it suggest that too yeah, to give access to all users [11:50] g0rbeh: do I have another choice? :) [11:51] Did anyone have trouble with azureus and iced-tea-java recetly, mine bugged out when trying to do 1.8update.zip and i had to get jre 1.6 and non packaged azureus === Veterini is now known as Lylat [11:51] deostroll: nope :) get in there, blue screens with block text are cool :P [11:52] zetheroo: can you spot the subtle work of spammers here? http://screenlets.org/index.php/CPU_Meter_Vista%27ish [11:52] VSpike: ha... thats what I just installed [11:52] ikonia: thanks [11:53] Does someone know where all the icons are stored? I'm looking for the kde shutdown icon.... [11:54] VSpike: That makes me wanna cry =( [11:54] Shapeshifter: /usr/share/icons/crystalsvg [11:54] VSpike: Woohoo http://zionpsyfer.com/screenlets.png [11:54] VSpike: just did Clear Calendar... its great [11:55] Riddell: Thanks! [11:56] is there anyway to disable xfailsafe? [11:56] !ati [11:56] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [11:56] zionpsyfer__: that's pretty nice [11:57] Riddell: I'm using somekind of a tango package for everything (so I'm not using crytal) any idea where that could be? (it's not /usr/share/icons/tango or similar) [11:57] hi! I want to ask you, how to change directory (cd) to desktop on the terminal? [11:57] stmartin: cd ~/Desktop [11:58] stmartin: case sensitive [11:58] and how to change directory to my directory "stmartin" [11:58] stmartin: cd stmartin [11:58] Shapeshifter: check in /usr/share or similar "find /usr/ | grep -i icon" should give you some hits [11:58] ok, thank you very much for the help === zionpsyfer__ is now known as zionpsyfer [11:59] do you know how to start video convesation in skype 2.0.0.27 [11:59] hello im using ubuntu 7.10 ubuntu desktop.server pc1 is my server.. how to share to pc2 internet? [12:00] Does anyone have any experience of keyboard volume buttons suddenly stopping working? [12:00] stmartin don't think video is supported in linux [12:00] hi Kalamansi [12:00] I installed skype 2 beta static [12:00] bazhang, fresh install here [12:00] mikebeecham: does the xorg log pick key presses [12:00] on ubuntu 6.06 lts [12:00] How do i disable xfailsafe in bulletproof x [12:00] hello bazhang. [12:00] stmartin I'll say it again [12:00] stmartin don't think video is supported in linux [12:00] ikonia: I wound't know...how would I check? [12:00] bazhang : are you running server now? [12:00] mikebeecham look in the loh [12:00] ok ikonia [12:00] ikonia: the skype beta _does_ support video [12:00] log [12:01] mikebeecham: I think it might be.. in the latest beta [12:01] ikonia...where would I find that? [12:01] Ziroday excllent [12:01] Kalamansi: no, just desktop ;} [12:01] zetheroo: what did you link it to in terms of ICS file? [12:01] mikebeecham /var/log/ [12:01] #DivX-Italia [12:01] VSpike: huh? [12:01] When I pair my bluetooth keyboard with my laptop, I never get prompted for a PIN. What's wrong? Is the connection between the keyboard and the laptop encrypted? [12:01] bazhang you know how to share internet to pc2?my pc1 server have internet connection..if im going to install firestarter do i need to do a config also in iptables? [12:02] zetheroo: are you using the calendar to show any events data? [12:02] erpo: does the keyboard work? [12:02] stmartin: google seems to suggest that you'll need ubuntu 7.04 or later to get video running, I don't know if thats fact [12:02] VSpike: not yet [12:02] ikonia.../which one...I have Xorg.0.long, Xorg.0.log.old, Xorg.20.log and Xorg20.log.old [12:02] mikebeecham: current [12:02] Ziroday: Yes. [12:02] erpo: the keyboard probably has a default pin. It will be in the docs. Usually 0000 or 1111 or 1234 [12:02] mikebeecham: may also want to check /var/log/messages [12:02] mikebeecham: you'll see "unknown key" type events [12:03] VSpike: I never entered a PIN on the laptop side. It just works. [12:03] mikebeecham: try even tailing the logs [12:03] VSpike: So how can I tell if the connection is encrypted? [12:03] VSpike: how do you create events? [12:03] ikonia...having opened them up I would not even begin to know what to look for [12:03] erpo: keyboards sometimes dont have PIN as they're not needed for every bluetooth device, mainly only for handphone and computer connections [12:03] mikebeecham: I've just told you [12:03] Ziroday: So how can I tell if the keyboard is broadcasting my keystrokes in the clear? [12:03] Kalamansi: I think there are likely some iptables experts around today that could tell you much better than I [12:04] you've told me to look in some logs and see if it's picking up key presses [12:04] zetheroo: lots of calendar programs have ical export. And lots of online services give you a URL for your info in ICal foramt [12:04] ok bazhang [12:04] VSpike: hmmm ok [12:04] not being funny but the content is a little more complicated than you would make it out to be [12:04] hi [12:04] erpo: not sure, but probably by running a bluetooth packet scanner [12:04] i cant make my mic work =( [12:05] hello admins and experts, how to share internet connection to pc2?my pc1 have internet (which is my server ubuntu desktop 7.10 now) .. and also how to install firewall after sharing internet connection to pc2? thanks [12:05] i need it to work.. i work with skype. [12:05] yokobr: model and make please [12:05] Ziroday: There's no tool that will tell me? hcitool con lists the active connections but doesn't provide any information about the encryption status. The man page for hcitool isn't helpful. [12:05] well, its a generic mic, on a nforce4 chipset [12:05] Slart: Thanks for the help finding the icon ;) [12:05] erpo: apologies but i dont use bluetooth so I am not sure [12:05] hello [12:06] Ziroday: Thanks anyway. [12:06] Ziroday, well, its a generic mic, on a nforce4 chipset === _max is now known as max [12:06] erpo: Do you have the bluetooth manager? [12:06] Shapeshifter: yea.. after 4 other people told you where to look =) [12:06] zionpsyfer: You mean the system tray applet? Yes, I do. [12:06] yokobr: not very helpful :) [12:06] zionpsyfer: It doesn't tell me whether or not the connection is encrypted either. [12:07] yokobr: can you go to System > Preferences > Hardware Info, and search for any mention of your microphone [12:07] erpo: Hmmm, let me check something. [12:07] Kalamansi: if you dont get an answer here there is also #ubuntu-server to try :} [12:08] bazhang : do you always download updates? [12:08] erpo: Something like this? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-bluetooth-keyboard-and-mouse-in-ubuntu.html [12:08] Hi there, I am confused whether to use the ATI binary drivers or the open source ones. Do you know which one is faster or more stable? [12:08] Kalamansi: try to stay up to date yeah :} [12:08] Ziroday, yokobr: is this some kind of usb microphone? otherwise I doubt it will show up there... [12:08] how do i use talk? [12:08] Talks about setting up encryption, so I would assume it's not by default.(?) [12:08] zetheroo: I just connected it to my schedule world calendar feed but it doesn't seem to work great [12:08] Quicksilva: ati [12:08] mrpogi_: I've told you [12:08] Ziroday, Nvidia CK804 - Mic ADC Alsa Capture Device [12:09] Slart: nope its inbuilt [12:09] ok [12:09] VSpike: I see [12:09] Nope, its just that mic that you plug on the pink hole [12:09] zionpsyfer: I've tried those instructions. They can't tell me if the keyboard-laptop connection is encrypted. [12:09] ikonia, so thats the fglrx ones right? [12:09] i'm using ubuntu [12:09] how do you find out how much ram a given laptop/desktop has? [12:09] Quicksilva yup [12:09] i've looked this page up http://ka1fsb.home.att.net/ntalk.html [12:09] ok will give it a go :) [12:10] i'm now in NETWORK DEVICE dummyO [12:10] Drakx_: you could look at the output from "free".. or check in some hardware info software, lshw for example [12:10] where is dummyO? [12:10] can gnomebaker burn vcds? i already converted the .avi file with avidemux and it came up with two files... both are mpeg, but one has a comf in the filename which isn't an extension. [12:10] Slart: thanks [12:10] bazhang : what is the command again to update? [12:10] mrpogi_: that guide is very old and no longer needed [12:10] bazhang : so i could get all updates.. [12:10] oh [12:11] magandang gabi sa inyo [12:11] so i just use ytalk directly? [12:11] Kalamansi: from the terminal sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade [12:11] erpo: And you've set the 'encrypt enable' flags for the keyboard in hcid.conf? [12:11] mrpogi_ no [12:11] How do I get the deleted items icon on my desktop? [12:11] i have to set it up first? [12:11] any ideas? [12:11] mrpogi_ correct [12:11] Hello, [12:12] zionpsyfer: I've tried it the way suggested in that howto and I've tried not editing the configuration file. [12:12] yokobr: okay google turned up nothing, can you record sound with sound recorder (Apps > Sound & Video > Sound Recorder) [12:12] bazhang : it says "done" [12:12] Anyone know how to sync a Samsung phone with 7.10? [12:12] zionpsyfer: Both ways work, but neither way actually tells me whether or not the connection between the keyboard and the laptop is actually really being encrypted. [12:13] Kalamansi: this is the server? did you enable the necessary repositories? [12:13] you mean like read the man pages? [12:13] please don't say yes [12:13] mrpogi_: thats one way [12:13] so is there another way? [12:13] mrpogi_: man pages are a solid source of info [12:13] I have a kiosk.sh file runs in runlevel 4. its symlink is in /etc/rc4.d/ dir the script works expect this line.

[12:16] erpo: I read a threads where enabling encryption broke the set up. I'll go through the man pages, but that would indicate that it might force encryption for the device. [12:16] I have a kiosk.sh file runs in runlevel 4. its symlink is in /etc/rc4.d/ dir the script works expect this line. "php run.php >& /dev/null &".

[13:23] in /etc/wordpress [13:23] ericrost: change it in /etc/wordpress [13:24] I wonder if I borked which file I symlinked [13:24] ericrost: looks your your ocnfig is just been broken by the upgrade [13:24] PLSshowyourhelp, which window? are you using compiz/beryl, there can be a problem with beryl/compiz if the graphics card is short on memory that causes that problem - maybe thats the problem [13:24] ericrost: it could be something to do with how gusty manages mulitple wordpress sites [13:24] ericrost: eg: $domains_name.wp-config [13:24] should the file its looking for be identical to the old wp-config? [13:24] ericrost: look in the config [13:25] ericrost: the wordpress versions have been upgraded [13:25] and its config-domain.name.php [13:25] ericrost: there could be differences [13:25] that it's looking for I believe, but I get your drift [13:25] ok.. I'll backup the dir to another name before the upgrade. I still have the snapshot [13:26] should I bother with the /usr/share/wordpress? I don't believe I've changed any of those files [13:26] how to play subtitle (.sub file) in movie player? [13:26] ericrost: I think it should change those files if the version has been updated [13:27] Exilant: thats not exactly gui based lol [13:27] wtf i just crashed while formating my home (i made a mistake at cli) and all my files are fine [13:27] ikonia: ok, here's something fishy, I changed the wp-config in /usr/share/wordpress [13:28] if i run mke2fs.ext3 on an ext2 drive do i lose my data?

I made ebox-jabber... and I was in the development team one year ago :) [13:44] probably my opinion is a bit biased ;) [13:44] Pici: that worked beautifully. now if only I hadn't spent over an hour trying to figure out what config got corrupted to cause iAS to go into an infinite loop on startup :-/ [13:45] hi everybody.... Does anyone know any solution to the battery capacity wrong notification problem? [13:45] dexem: true. cool to run across someone from teh dev team, though.

[14:22] Spzatt: 7.10 is gusty [14:22] oh lol [14:22] Why I get this message in mplayer "no Xvideo support for your video card available"? [14:22] Anybody free here can help me? [14:22] stmartin you need to choose a different output codec [14:22] how? [14:23] JangMunho: best to just ask the channel your question [14:23] stmartin it is a switch you add to the command.....just a sec [14:23] Jack : It says something about emerald theme manager [14:24] stmartin doing this from memory...try mplayer -o x11 [14:25] stmartin: i belive it may be mplayer -vo x11 file.avi [14:25] but | found on ubuntforum that it is because of "vesa" driver [14:25] Spzatt: Ah.. ok.. may I politly suggest you go to the compiz room by typing /j #Compiz for help... that theme however is not a drag and drop after looking inside the tar I found a file named Read Before You Start [14:25] stmartin sorry...it is -vo x11 [14:25] ohhh pike_ just dominated th0r [14:25] I installed everything for nvidia, and it is again "vesa" [14:25] th0r: ya spaced on the v inexusable! [14:26] Jack : I do not have compiz, may that be the reason? [14:26] pike_ old age...and the benefits of scripting...never have to remember it [14:26] Anyone been into that apache2 and php5 dosent work? I installed now and I'm only able to download files as .phtml. Any solution? [14:26] you know you can change the vo default in config files... [14:27] !lamp > kimmey2k3 (read the private message from ubotu) [14:27] but bad thing is x11 doesnt do fullscreen scaling at least for me [14:27] jrib: I tried the lamp without any luck [14:27] kimmey2k3: try the suggestions on the wiki page for that issue. Also, see if it works if you name them .php instead [14:27] pike_ there is a list of video outputs to try...check 'man mplayer' for a list of them [14:28] The files are named php. None is .phtml [14:28] bruenig and that is why we didn't talk yet about a config file [14:28] Thats wierd. It has alwas worked without problems. But not now. [14:28] nickserv [14:28] hi i have a dell inspiron 1520, after a reboot my graphics suddenly has downgraded to vesa and low resolution on a 8600GT . anyone know a fix? [14:28] Should I ask a question? are u from all over the world? [14:28] Jack_Sparrow : I dont have compiz, do i need that for the theme? [14:28] Spzatt: Sorry.. still reading [14:28] guys I have installed gutsy and i have 9550 ati radeon. compiz isn't enabling will the restricted driver fix this? [14:29] !ask [14:29] 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. :-) [14:29] on AMD64, is OpenOffice 64 bit?

[14:30] kimmey2k3: execute 'sudo a2enmod php5' [14:30] <`Rewt> have they fixed flash yet? [14:31] It says the module dosen't exist.

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [14:33] does anyone here use more than one open office dictionary? [14:33] jrib, what should i do if all of a sudden ubuntu doesnt recognize my nvidia card? [14:33] I have a shared printer on a windows XP machine, and am able to connect to it from OTHER windows machines, but not my linux one. Is there something special i have to setup, instead of just going to the PC on the network, I cant even see it when i go there, i only see the PC's shared folder. [14:34] amitprakash: were you using the nvidia driver or nv? [14:34] !compiz [14:34] 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 [14:34] jrib, i think nvidia cos its a 8600 gt but i aint sure [14:34] I seem to have problems upgrading from feisty to gutsy...adept gives error "Failed to fetch http://seveas.imbrandon.com/dists/feisty-seveas/all/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found" [14:34] Jack should i get compiz? [14:34] amitprakash: how did you install them? [14:34] jrib, i shudda kept a backup but alas i did not [14:35] jrib, from restricted drivers [14:35] EDinNY: remove that repository [14:35] on AMD64, is OpenOffice 64 bit? [14:35] jrib, from where? [14:35] sources? [14:35] jrib: If I do the ls now, it says /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.load [14:35] hi! anyone has been able to connect to a Freecom Multimedia Disk? [14:35] jrib, sources.list? [14:35] EDinNY: yes [14:35] I am having some difficulty conencting to any Ubuntu repositories when I run apt-get update, I have Ubuntu Server Gutsy installed in VMWare and the connection to repo times out every time. [14:35] by LAN network or wi-fi [14:36] kimmey2k3: sudo a2enmod php5 [14:36] jrib: It says it is already enabled [14:36] I did everything properly, why my drivers are still "Vesa"??? [14:36] dtolj: well can you ping out? if its nat'd using vmware maybe the host box has a firewall [14:36] dtolj: try bridged instead [14:36] !vesa [14:36] vesa is the default video driver if X can't find a better one. Also see !x [14:36] kimmey2k3: 'sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart', clear your browser's cache, and check the page again [14:37] pike_: Yes i can ping the repo server fine. [14:37] amitprakash: what exactly happens when you start ubuntu now? [14:37] hmm i think repos use 443 but not sure of that [14:37] jrib: Thanks! that made it! :) [14:37] jrib, says unable to detect hw, would u like to run on low settings [14:37] help please [14:38] why they are still vesa [14:38] jrib, if i specify the hardware manually it kinda shifts the screen laterally [14:38] !xconfig > amitprakash (read the private message from ubotu) [14:38] i am trying to install the eXperience GTK engine but it says that it depends on libgtk2, which is not going to be installed... but it is already installed... what can i do? [14:38] pike_: I have installed vmware tools shouldn't that fix the networking issues [14:38] jrib, then apt-get upgrade install? [14:38] amitprakash: see if it works fine when you use 'nv' as your driver, then we can try to get nvidia working again [14:39] EDinNY: no, that is not the proper way to upgrade [14:39] !upgrade > edinny (read the private message from ubotu) [14:39] Hi - upgraded to gutsy - now mceusb2 remote doesn't work - lsusb shows the device but there is no /dev/lirc[0] - lirc is installed via apt and has been reinstsalled - no luck [14:39] What config file do I specify my DNS name? [14:39] dtolj /etc/hosts [14:39] jrib, brb [14:39] th0r: thanks [14:40] dtolj oops.../ec/hostname [14:40] getting old [14:40] jrib, okay nv works [14:40] i am trying to install the eXperience GTK engine but it says that it depends on libgtk2, which is not going to be installed... but it is already installed... what can i do? [14:40] i am trying to install the eXperience GTK engine but it says that it depends on libgtk2, which is not going to be installed... but it is already installed... what can i do? [14:40] th0r: :) [14:40] jrib, the max resolution i get is however 800x600 [14:41] amitprakash: k, see what the restricted driver manager does no [14:41] now [14:41] why I can't see System>Administration>Restricted Drivers Manager?

[14:42] amitprakash: give it a try [14:42] savasv: do not do that [14:42] that just gets you ignored... [14:42] is this supposed to be a help chan or what? [14:42] When I get in device manager, my nvidia card is unknown? [14:42] microsoft helps quicker guys..... [14:43] !patience | savasv [14:43] savasv: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [14:43] savasv: stay on topic please. Ask your question and wait patiently [14:43] stmartin, because you have uninstalled it? [14:43] no [14:43] This is so strange I can ping a repo (us.archives.ubuntu.com) but it times out on apt-get update! [14:43] i've been waiting for 10 minutes now... [14:43] I tried 100 times to install nvidia driver [14:43] others get answers in 10 seconds [14:43] but I don't know why it is still "vesa" and it is unknown [14:44] savasv: if you dont get an answer it may mmean nobody knows an answer [14:44] savasv: it's not personal, people can only answer questions they know the answer to [14:44] jrib, okay that fixed it, how did this happen though [14:44] savasv, its probably because the people who know the answer aren't in the channel at the minute === chaky_ is now known as chaky [14:44] amitprakash: no idea [14:44] jrib, and thanks a lot [14:44] savasv I wonder how many people have tried to install that theme....much less run into a problem. [14:44] stmartin, does the restricted driver manager install? [14:44] how do you launch firestarter at boot? or do you not set the firewall this way? [14:44] jrib, ^^ [14:44] I have no restricted driver manager [14:44] rich__, it does it automatically [14:44] Is there a proxy configuration somewhere For fetching packages from outside world? [14:44] I have ubuntu 6.06 LTS dapper [14:44] rich__, firestarter is just a gui, the service runs int he background all the itme [14:45] hi, i have a directory which someone else put files into - is there a way for me to remove this directory? [14:45] I have notices PROXY setting during installation of Ubuntu server gutsy, how can i configure that again [14:45] yes, the problem is not the particular theme... it's the dependancy is already installed but it shows up like it's not... [14:45] when i try the normal -rf it says cannot remove the files, permission denied [14:45] adante you should be able to delete it as root...use 'sudo rmdir' [14:46] th0r: i do not have root access on this box [14:46] stmartin, ah right [14:46] how to install restricted driver manager? [14:46] !nvidia | stmartin [14:46] stmartin, use that guide that ubotu is giving you [14:46] It didn't helped [14:46] stmartin: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [14:46] adante then no...you won't be able to delete it [14:46] stmartin, why not? what didn't work? [14:46] !dependances [14:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about dependances - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:46] !dependancies [14:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about dependancies - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:47] on AMD64, is OpenOffice 64 bit? [14:47] !fuck you [14:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about fuck you - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:47] PriceChild:there is no tutorial for 6.06 [14:47] I click on 6.10 or earlier [14:47] Yeah ?I know that, but when i boot and run iptables -L it isnt implementing my firestarter settings [14:47] and again I gget for Ubuntu 7.04 [14:48] does firestarter execute iptables-save when it exits? [14:48] !nvidia dapper [14:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about nvidia dapper - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:48] !nvidia 6.06 [14:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about nvidia 6.06 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:48] stmartin, please stop [14:48] rich__ firestarter configures iptables. iptables runs all the time, there are just no rules by default [14:48] dtolj: there's something in synaptic's preferences. Otherwise you can set http_proxy in your shell and that will get used. You can also do it in apt.conf (see the man page) [14:48] PriceChild: I am desperate [14:48] stmartin, what doesn't work about the "6.10 and earlier" instructions? [14:48] rich__ you can see that by typing 'iptables -L' [14:48] This page does not exist yet. You can create a new empty page, or use one of the page templates. Before creating the page, please check if a similar page already exists. [14:48] here is the message [14:49] just click on 6.10 and earlier [14:49] stmartin, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#head-638b69986bff87ad112df8fe71ca32abadb81c8c [14:49] i have set the rules to DROP all, but thats doesnt show, is it because i switch between wireless and wired [14:49] how come when I install new GTK themes in System->Preferences->Appearence->Theme, they don't show up? [14:49] stmartin, then https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#head-638b69986bff87ad112df8fe71ca32abadb81c8c-2 [14:49] stmartin, then https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#head-f341e0981fde1e37191346b8512cde30db4252c5 [14:49] It says they are correctly installed, but they don't appear in the list [14:49] !guidelines > savasv (read the private message from ubotu) [14:50] do i have to manually run firestarter for it to show at startup? [14:50] but I don't know my appropriate package for my kernel [14:50] Do I need to install them systemwide somehow? [14:50] rich__ iptables should not delete rules just because you switch interfaces. are you sure yhou defined the drop rules correctly? [14:50] VSpike: check if they are in the "controls" or "window border" tabs after you press the "customize..." button [14:51] stmartin, you don't need to. That guide tells you *exactly* what to do [14:51] yeah i have, its working now, just doesnt seem to be persistent [14:51] stmartin, or would you like me to read the guide and just feed you each command one after the other instead of using the gui? [14:51] it says Find the appropriate package for your kernel. For example [14:51] Hi people :) [14:51] rich__ and yes, you would have to start firestarter at startup to have it show [14:51] stmartin, it doesn't. Where does it say that? === loom is now known as loom1 === loom1 is now known as loom [14:51] do i just add a Symbolic link to /etc/rc2.d to 360 flip the gui into action at boot? [14:52] under "In ubuntu" === _max is now known as max [14:52] jrib: ahh yes indeed [14:52] jrib: thanks [14:52] rich__ as I recall I had to write a script with the rules and run it at startup...but I wasn't using firestarter so don't know how it handles things [14:52] stmartin, i can't find it. [14:52] where do I change my startup script? [14:52] does anyone know why ata/0 would keep running for 230 hours [14:52] !startup > viking (read the private message from ubotu) [14:52] PriceChild press Ctrl+F you'll find it [14:53] stmartin, please follow the links i have given you [14:53] stmartin, i did, but can't find any "under ubuntu" except for in 7.04 [14:53] stmartin, I have given you *exact* loactions in the file (don't scroll up from where the link takes you) [14:53] I have a question about samba + NTFS HD + nautilus... I have mounted an NTFS partition through smbfs. In a terminal I can do mkdir rm, everything. In Nautilus I only can create files, delete files/directories, but I can't create new directories... Any ideas? [14:53] viking what do you want to change? [14:53] jrib: thanks [14:54] need to add emerald themes to my startup =P [14:54] yes, look at the 2-nd link [14:54] stmartin, have you done the first link first? [14:54] here:Find the appropriate package for your kernel. For example, if you have linux-image-amd64-k8 installed, then you should install linux-restricted-modules-amd64-k8. Selecting one will also install nvidia-kernel-common. (Note: you have to select the restricted modules first because the nvidia-glx package automatically installs the i386 one - and if you have a generic kernel image, the X will not work.) [14:54] How do you change the keyring password? [14:54] stmartin, linux-restricted-modules-generic [14:55] got to add 'compiz --replace' and 'emerald --replace' to my startup script so emerald themes will start all the time... I just need to know the location and name of my actual startup script [14:55] PriceChild: not in dapper :) [14:55] ubotu: startup script [14:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about startup script - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:55] stmartin, linux-restricted-modules-686 sorry [14:55] Does someone have experience with network setting on VMware ESX to allow connection to repos [14:55] crdlb, yup [14:56] viking: #compiz-fusion probably knows a better way to achieve that [14:56] PriceChild I don't think so that my card is on the card list === eljak_ is now known as eljakl === eljakl is now known as eljak [14:56] good idea... I will check with them. Thanks [14:56] stmartin, what card is it? [14:56] I have Nvidia Geforce 8200GT or something [14:56] stmartin, gah [14:56] stmartin, why are you using dapper? [14:56] viking: why do you need to do that? just use system > preferences > apperarance > visual effects [14:57] don't know, my brother gave it to me [14:57] stmartin, you will have to install the drivers from nvidia.com manually then. [14:57] I am newbie [14:58] PriceChild, is there Drivers for linux, on nvidia.com? === diafic is now known as di[a]fic [14:58] crdlb I am having a hard time finding themes for ubuntu... so I was just gonna use the emerald onces. [14:58] stmartin, Dapper is now almost 2 years old. Although it is stable and works perfectly fine. It can't support the newer hardware without risking that stability [14:58] ones* [14:58] viking: with emerald installed, the compiz wrapper automatically uses emerald instead of gtk-window-decorator [14:58] please, can anybody help me with my problem? Does anybody use Samba? [14:58] upon restart of compiz === di[a]fic is now known as diafic === diafic is now known as di[a]fic [14:59] PriceChild but only 6.06LTS gives update support for 3 years, right? [14:59] oh... that I did not know... [14:59] jrib, btw why is the depth set to 24 instead of 32 === di[a]fic is now known as diafic [14:59] stmartin, which is probably not worth it to you. (Remember you can upgrade between releases... dapper to edgy, to feisty, to gutsy) [14:59] crdlb I did not see it use a emerald theme until I used the command 'compiz --replace -c emerald &' [14:59] stmartin, it is more important on servers or large scale deploymants [15:00] stmartin, http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.07.html is the driver you want. [15:00] amitprakash: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_depth#32-bit_color [15:00] viking: that's only with trevinho's repo [15:00] stmartin, if this is a fresh install, I *strongly* recommend downloading Gutsy and doing a fresh install [15:00] oh... is there another one I need to be getting? [15:00] will I have 3 years support? :D [15:00] hello everybody [15:01] viking: that's what you're using now? [15:01] I am having problems with my Asus EE PC outputting VGA....it seems to output at any other resolution than the one I want. I want to run at 1680x1050 on my SyncMaster 226, here is the xorg.conf http://www.pastbin.com/m1d7029cb, and here is a photo if I do run at that resolution http://www.xiano.co.uk/distort.jpg [15:01] a friend of mine has asked me if there is a collaborative instrument in linux, to draw things and show them to another user [15:02] Hi Guys, I have got a stuppid pb with Ubuntu-Server. I have connected my server to a screen and the resolution is way off.. The pb is that because it is a server I dont have x11 so I cannot resolve my pb [15:02] any solutions would be much appreciated [15:02] crdlb: I am using compiz-fusion. I am not sure exactly one you mean by trevinho;s repository. [15:02] stmartin: 6.06 + 3 = 9.06. Gutsy is supported for 18(?) months so 7.10 + 1.06 = 9.04 so you don't really get updates for a longer time at this point [15:02] bowen0507: I thought the max for the eee hardware was 1280*1024 [15:02] bowen0507: are you aware there is a channel #eeepc ? [15:02] viking: in gutsy? [15:02] nope, i am not [15:02] yes in gutsy [15:02] i'll give that a go [15:02] can i set the resolution unbuntu uses when it sits on the login screen? right now it's too high for my monitor [15:03] viking: that command you gave with the '-c emerald' is only required with a repo you're not using [15:03] why does my keyboard not work in the console ?:s [15:03] doktoreas: I know there's a multi-user text editor.. don't know if there are any multi-user whiteboards.. [15:03] bowen0507: there is also a website with excellent wiki and forums www.eeeuser.com [15:03] jrib, damn the tricky manufacturers with they 32bit and their GB [15:03] hi [15:03] i have a problem with my usb pen [15:04] hi Slart [15:04] oh... hmm maybe I missed something then. Perhaps it was using the theme I just hadn't gotten any different ones until I came across a forum with a link to some themes and that command. [15:04] marko-_-: wow.. don't tell us anything that might help us narrow it down.. I'm guessing it's because your computer is turned off [15:04] it's automounted with a read-only filesystem [15:04] doktoreas: hello [15:04] slart ? [15:04] i read the log file, it says unknow partition table [15:04] i press ctrl + alt + F4 but the keyboard doesn't work [15:04] here it does fine. [15:04] i tried also with fsck [15:05] marko-_-: ah.. we're getting somewhere.. what video-card? [15:05] bazhang: Yeah I have been there [15:05] i have been researching this for the past 5 hours [15:05] slart nvidia 8600gt anyway... it worked fine... today it's not. [15:05] So anyone have any good forum post on how to replace the gears animation with a blender 3D file of your own, that you have seen?

[15:07] i can type [15:07] marko-_-: I think nvidia drivers had some problems with the console before.. but as I recall they fixed that [15:07] everwhere normall [15:07] marko-_-: I mean is the wireless hub plugged into a USB socket? or is it pure bluetooth? [15:07] only in the console not :) [15:07] can the vbox daemon start and stop virtual machines? [15:07] bowen0507: the info should be there--some others have gone through the same thing--if anyone knows they will; best to post to the forum as well [15:07] viking: just checking... and he might not be using irc from the same computer [15:08] !find demuxer [15:08] i am using it from the same computer:P [15:08] Package/file demuxer does not exist in gutsy [15:08] Oli``, it's plugged into the usb socket [15:08] why fetchmail tells me fetchmail [15:08] marko-_-: hmm.. you're using ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy), right? [15:08] Slart: true =P but he did say earlier that he couldn't type in terminal but could in irc... leading me to believe it was on the same computer [15:08] viking: ah.. sneaky.. I missed that =) [15:08] yes [15:09] Slart: =p gotta keep those eyes open wider and stop switching between your desktops just to watch the cube spin...

[15:11] marko-_-: I know it seems like such a windows-solution. .. but it does work sometimes [15:12] ok i'll restart [15:12] dtolj: maybe dns problem?? [15:12] but i got another problem here too:P [15:12] jrib: bash yes I tried using aptitude also and get the same error [15:12] slart do you know why firefox crashes so often... and sometimes it freezes [15:12] marko-_-: flash does that to me alot. [15:13] brobostigon: Could be I have been setting up the network, how to configure DNS properly? [15:13] marko-_-: huh? .. you use lots of flash and play videos in the browser? [15:13] hm... it's annoying [15:13] dtolj: I meant same instance, sorry. But check what 'echo $http_proxy' returns [15:13] marko-_-: that's the only thing that kills my firefox. [15:13] slart [15:13] i mena [15:13] mean* [15:13] dtolj: i put my dns servers into /etc/resolv.conf [15:13] not only in youtube [15:13] it does to me on youtube often [15:13] but so i just browse where no flash is requered and it crashes [15:14] jrib: It returns nothing! [15:14] hey all [15:14] dtolj: pastebin the full output when you 'sudo apt-get updaet' [15:14] dtolj: pastebin the full output when you 'sudo apt-get update' [15:14] marko-_-: might be sometihng else.. perhaps a weirdo plugin... I haven't had any problems with firefox.. it crashes sometimes..a couple of times a week.. and only when I mess with flash and videos [15:14] anyone able to answer a few questions on compiz? [15:14] brobostigon: jrib: I believe My DNS entry is correct same as on other servers [15:15] i have it all running fine i just had a few questions [15:15] dtolj:ok [15:15] slart the only plugin i use is 'the TOR button' and 'Live http headers' oh and i have a different theme to... maybe that? [15:16] marko-_-: I doubt those would kill it [15:16] Anyone here toy around with the idea of replacing the gear animation in the compiz-fusion cube with a blender 3D file of their own? [15:16] is there any other program like minicom which is gui [15:16] hi, is there any GUI based application to connect remote machine? [15:16] errr wrong channel [15:16] here both my and remote machine is runnnin ubuntu [15:16] My feisty server is passing all QC tests. We will be migrating our clients to it starting next week. Question: Does clamav have any mechanism for bypassing large files? Someone told me that the system will bog down if large attachments are scanned. is this true? [15:18] is there any gui program like minicom [15:18] minicom for what? [15:18] for connecting to router [15:19] use serial port in other work terminal emulator [15:19] can you tell me how can i connect to my remote ubuntu machine? [15:19] sorry i am new as well [15:19] jahid: ssh [15:19] brobostigon: is there any GUI for that? i dont want to do ssh [15:20] though, the GUI will be using ssh too [15:20] jahid: vnc [15:20] happy new year ppl: http://tinyurl.com/yr2ubs [15:20] brobostigon: thanks! [15:20] jahid, ssh is the safes way to connect to a remote pc [15:20] B-rabbit: so far i know, vnc uses ssh too, right? i was just looking for a gui [15:20] is there any gui program like minicom please [15:20] Hi all. Just want to ask. Is it reasonably secure to update to hardy? I use Sid on desktop, so did hardy get to the state to be comparable with it regarding stability? Or there is too much to be fixed, yet? [15:21] I did nothing with the nvidia drivers [15:21] it can't find suatable kernel from nvidia [15:21] Dragon67: have a look on packages.ubuntu.com [15:21] * genii sips a coffee [15:21] brobostigon: thanks [15:22] Belisarivs: only when it is released [15:24] How did you mean it? [15:24] Slart, i just opened firefox wanted to give an url and it crashed .s [15:24] Belisarivs: until hardy is released in april, it is only suitable for developers and testers [15:24] marko-_-: ouch... [15:25] jrib: APT dosn't want to time out now, it just hands there with Connecting to archive.ubuntu.com message ?? [15:25] marko-_-: did you reboot? [15:25] not yet [15:25] but this is happening [15:25] for a week or so [15:25] now... [15:25] since i got the new teme for firefox and a new gnome theme [15:25] !enter | marko-_- [15:25] marko-_-: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [15:25] sorry [15:25] OK then. Will be KDE 4 ported to GG? [15:26] ported? [15:26] Whether kde4 will be available in gutsy [15:26] ? [15:26] hi there [15:26] Belisarivs: I don't think they'll put KDE 4 into gutsy.. perhaps in hardy [15:26] Belisarivs, unlikely, its normally only bug fixes and security updates that get done in between versions [15:27] i have a weird problem with sound in gusty [15:27] thanks [15:27] dtolj: not really sure what's going on. Sometimes you can comment everything in your sources.list, apt-get update, then uncomment, and update again. Since I'm out of ideas, you can try that [15:27] hello world [15:27] i can hear the gdm welcome sound, but then after i loged in gnome, the sound isn't available [15:28] keisangi: what is the output of the command: groups [15:28] i have a small question: I'm trying to install ubuntu on my laptop, but I'd like to use the vista boot manager, and install grub only on the ubuntu partition... how can I do it? [15:28] the speaker icon have a red cross on it [15:28] jrib, i look [15:28] the speaker icon have a red cross on it [15:28] jrib, it's: keisangi admin [15:29] jrib: thanks, but is there a specific port used for the package manager ? [15:29] click on it with the right mouse and the first thing there... click it [15:29] jrib: maybe its blocked? or is it standard port 80? [15:29] dtolj: http i think,so port 80 [15:29] http://en.thisbitch.info/?id=ac1ff5d543db6738d2b3029d424e6178 === tom_ is now known as wanda [15:30] markd, no it's not muted ... gnome report no sound device available [15:30] keisangi: you need to add your user to the audio group. There are other groups as well that you should be in. Use the gui maybe (system -> adiministration -> users and groups) [15:30] oh [15:30] ok then [15:30] jrib, ok i try [15:32] on AMD64, is OpenOffice 64 bit?

[15:33] jrib: Hmm here is something interesting, I try to connect to www.google.ca from w3m text browser since I dont have gui installed yet, and it hangs also with message Opening socket... [15:33] ctrl+alt+backspace [15:34] where under /var/log to look for possible intruder attempts through ssh? [15:34] jrib: thats also port 80 ? [15:34] hi [15:34] ikonia: thats what I thought. it came up in another channel today. thanks [15:34] dtolj: ping google.ca [15:34] does anyone know a channel where one speaks about ns2 or systemC [15:34] ?

[15:36] guys how do i change the default window size of the terminal? [15:36] guys i have an american megatrends mobo and sound starts some times in feisty and not in others which is strange to say the least. how can i resolve this [15:37] rich__: open the terminals and options select the size small/med/large etc [15:37] Also, how to access internet via USB mobile phone... it shows as ttyACM*... also has bluetooth DUN i think [15:37] where are those optinos [15:37] chazco: just point the modem at the device file if it's a true modem [15:37] anyone know how to change the battery icons in gnome? [15:37] rich__: termiunal --> perferences I think [15:37] terminal [15:37] unagi: create a theme [15:37] Not sure... i need to connect to the phones 3G (?) connection [15:38] .... [15:38] i only have profiles and there are no window size options [15:38] chazco: 3g connections normally need software as I recall [15:38] On my PDA i can use bluetooth and dial into the phone with *99# to get a connection [15:38] i have a small question: I'm trying to install ubuntu on my laptop, but I'd like to use the vista boot manager, and install grub only on the ubuntu partition... how can I do it? [15:38] rich__: profiles then edit your profile [15:38] unagi: in your home folder there's a .icons flder. think its in there [15:38] ikonia; calm down. I notice on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=190061 that some ubuntu users are having issues with this. There are some other ppl working on this on other channels and projects and we were looking to see how many willing testers we could find. [15:38] dvds: the vista boot menu can't boot ubuntu, [15:38] How can I tell if my webcam is working? What is a program that will use my webcam in ubuntu ? [15:38] ikonia - It should be possible via DUN on bluetooth (although speed will be slower due to bluetooth limits), but not sure how to make Ubuntu dial out over bluetooth [15:38] nabcore: I'm very calm. This is not the place to canvas for testers [15:38] Hi all. I've tried Windows as main OS, but... really, i prefer Ubuntu more. Problem is, i've had it breaking on me several times already. I want to dual-boot Windows with Ubuntu, and want Ubuntu to have a /home partition, for easy backup and reinstalling. How do i do all this? [15:38] chazco: no idea [15:38] Whitor: vlc is handy for that [15:39] pike, thanks [15:39] chazco: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothDialup - this is for bluetooth but it's probably mostly applicable to usb as well [15:39] ikonia: ? sure? Windows boot manager could always start grub... [15:39] hi [15:39] What is the reason for power_management.can_suspend_hybrid = false (bool)? (see http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/27356/) [15:39] dvds: windows boot manager can load grub - not ubuntu [15:39] Ah, thanks LjL - i missed that page somehow [15:39] Arelis: easiest way is to install win first then setup ubuntu and install grub [15:39] dvds: I don't advise messing with it like that [15:39] Does anybody know how i can begin C++ on Linux? [15:39] ikonia: that's what I want to do.... o_o [15:39] Payam: buy a book [15:39] dvds: get googling then [15:39] I can programming [15:40] lizar1: i never see battery icons in those folders........maybe just one but what about the other states of the battery, charged, charging, 2/3rds etc [15:40] Payam: can you buy book ? [15:40] witch programs shoul i use in linux [15:40] ikonia [15:40] jrib: OK I have made another discovery It seems that internal sites to my company load but external ones like google hang and since REPO is external it also hangs so its some firewall issue [15:40] Payam: install build-essential then grab a introduction tutorial online [15:40] ikonia: I googeled, didn't find anything, that's why I ask here.... -_-" [15:40] should be there [15:40] Payam: eclipse is nice if you want a big IDE [15:40] Payam: turorial books will suggest programs/compilers [15:40] Payam: « sudo apt-get install build-essential » will get you the C++ compiler [15:40] Payam: else vim/gedit/whatever [15:40] !code > Payam (Payam, see the private message from Ubotu) [15:40] dvds: ask in ##windows then, we don't configure windows boot loaders [15:40] anyone experienced sound randomly not working in ubuntu [15:40] Payam: eclipse is nice id install and launch it now as it does usually take about 2 days to load [15:40] lizar1, How do i install Ubuntu in the safest way? I have Windows on my PC right now, and really DON'T want to lose it. Also, which version (Gutsy, Dapper, Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu) should I pick? [15:41] I am unable to ping the default gateway [15:41] pike_: i want a C-- editor [15:41] ikonia: I asked here how to install GRUB on the ubuntu partition, stop trolling with me please... [15:41] c++ [15:41] Arelis, the safest way is to install it on another HD. second safest, back up your current data first. [15:41] Arelis: install it on a different partition [15:41] thats all what i want [15:41] Payam: usually thats just whatever text editor youre comfortable with [15:41] dvds: I'm not trolling. To install grub on the ubuntu partition, select the "advanced" tab on the boot loader installation section of the installer [15:41] pike_: VLC won't connect to /dev/video ... I don't think my webcam module is loaded... how can I load it ? [15:41] Payam: ubotu has given you a pretty comprehensive list of such editors [15:41] Payam: something with syntax highliting is the only big thing you want [15:41] pike_: okej thanks. i gana use it [15:41] yea putting an icon in there didnt do anything [15:41] Anyone have any ideas why I can't get control of my headphones volume from alsamixer? [15:42] LjL, well I don't really have another HD at the moment, so that leaves me with backup up. [15:42] (or any other mixer, for that matter..) [15:42] ikonia: that's what I did, thanks... but the problem is I don't know what to do then... [15:42] LjL, Backing up won't be a problem :) [15:42] Payam: try gedit, else there are several C++ development environments like MSVS [15:42] dvds: select the device you want to install it to [15:42] Whitor: modprobe but id search the forums for your specifc webcam for some step by step [15:42] pike_: ok thanks === mgallagh__ is now known as mattva01 [15:43] ikonia: the devide I want to install it to isn't mounted before the installation... [15:43] Arelis, the Ubuntu installer will detect your Windows installation and (unless you explicitly instruct it otherwise), will allow you to shrink its partition without losing data. however, resizing partition is always a potentially dangerous operation, so yes, a backup is needed if you want to be on the safe side [15:43] ugh this is annoying [15:43] dvds: a device doesn't have to be mounted to install grub [15:43] LjL, It detects the size well? [15:43] Amarok and Exaile are working :) [15:43] I am unable to ping the default gateway [15:43] Or may it fail detecting the size? [15:43] Awseme Documentation :) [15:43] pike_: i dont undrastant! Do you mean i can use A text file to write my program? === diafic is now known as di[a]fic [15:43] enterneo: you've been saying that all day, and people have given you advice [15:43] ikonia: meaning? what should I give? /dev/sda+number ? [15:44] dvds: no hd(something, something) [15:44] I don't want to install it on the MBR o_O [15:44] dvds: I know ! [15:44] dvds: you select the device you want to install it on [15:44] ikonia: o_O [15:44] anyone know how to change the icons for power manager? [15:44] ikonia: the advice was to use ethernet than usb to connect to router, I cant do that the other laptop connect to the router using ethernet already, and anyways it used to work fine, until i tinkered with the configuration and am not able to set it back [15:45] unagi: create a theme, in that theme define your icon set [15:45] ikonia: and what device is it, if not my hd? -_- [15:45] dvds: Don't install grub onto a subpartition, it overwrites a part of the partition descriptor which tells what kind of partition you have. [15:45] Does the NTP server work in your Ubuntu ? [15:45] couldnt i just edit the current theme to use different icons? [15:45] it was working, and suddenly PC stops after "updating DMI information" tingy (before starting grub). wtf? [15:45] dvds: what do you mean if i'ts not your hd ? your disk / partition is your hd [15:45] dvds: have you got any idea how the grub naming partition works yes/no ? [15:45] I ve pb with Dell 3000cn printer, i am using cups driver, debian OS, i need the driver to run well [15:45] how to repair MBR or reinstall grub? [15:45] couldnt i just edit the current theme to use different icons? ikonia [15:45] genii: breath is wasted [15:46] ikonia: I ***DON'T*** want to have GRUB on the MBR... [15:46] Anyone have any ideas why I can't get control of my headphones volume from alsamixer (or any other mixer for that matter)? [15:46] dvds: I KNOW [15:46] ikonia: :/ [15:46] dvds: you specify the device you want to put it on [15:46] dvds: eg: hd(0,2) [15:46] atlantide: debian? hmm maybe wrong channel then :} [15:46] dvds: as I've told you before you come back with the attitude [15:47] ikonia: still don't understand... what does hd(0,2) mean? [15:47] dvds: do you understand how the grub naming scheme works ? [15:47] dvds: thanks, thats all you had to say [15:47] dvds: hd0 is your hard disk, the next number is your partition [15:47] is there a program which can take backups to an ftp-server? I mean, not just an ftp-client, but a program which runs reguraly, and maybe incrypts everything? [15:47] ikonia: if I wrote grub I wouldn't be here asking how it works :p [15:47] hd(0,0) is first disk - first partition [15:47] dvds: I'm no :p at your attitude [15:47] bottiger; try rsync over ssh [15:47] bottiger: yOU WOULD BE BETTER OFF IN THAT CASE TO USE RSYNC [15:47] bah capslock...sorry guys [15:48] dvds: I didn't ask if you wrote grub I asked if you knew how the namking scheme worked [15:48] couldnt i just edit the current theme to use different icons? ikonia [15:48] nabcore ＆ genii: true, but if rsync is not an option? [15:48] unagi: sure [15:48] unagi: create an icon pack [15:48] its really just HD(disk, partition) -----> Starting from 0 [15:48] unagi: or edit the current one [15:48] where would i find that theme file and what woukld i change in it [15:48] do you only have ftp (I assume no ssh?) [15:48] nabcore: yes [15:48] unagi: /usr/share/themes (from memory - not certain) [15:48] unagi: /usr/share/icons then there is .theme files somewhere [15:49] bottiger: The backups would be from the server to a remote machine or the other way around? [15:49] is the machine that you're backing up from a linux box? [15:49] ikonia: so grub will be installed on the partition? didn't you just say that it will overwrite the descriptor? [15:49] dvds: I didn't say that, but yes it will [15:49] genii: from my local machine to the server [15:49] nabcore: yes [15:49] ~/.icons? [15:49] ikonia: woaw, sorry for using a smile, didn't know it would upset you so much... [15:50] Gotta question about proFTPD and GproFTPD. Anyone know how to make GproFTPD point (load) the proftpd.conf file from the correct location? From what I could see I need to change a symbolic link? Not sure how todo that. proFTPD installed to /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf GproFTPD is looking for /etc/proftpd.conf [15:50] dvds: do you have ubuntu installed? [15:50] dvds: making a joke out of your attitude towards someone helpiing you doesn't make me smile [15:50] dvds: doing :p doesn't make it "ok" [15:50] bazhang: not yet... [15:50] Hey, I [15:50] Debian GNU/Linux lenny/sid [15:50] dvds: you have been given the answer; please respect the folks that are trying to help you [15:51] LjL, It will detect the size well? Or will it fail detecting it? [15:51] ~/.icons? ikonia [15:51] unagi: /usr/share/icons for system wide ones (as I've said 2 times [15:51] bazhang: ? [15:51] bottiger: How smart do you want this backup mechanism to be? Do you want it only to back up newer data that does not exist on the ftp server; i.e. is the amount of data being tranfered in the back the rate determining factor here? [15:51] unagi: the ~/.icons are you personal ones [15:51] dvds: please... [15:52] Arelis, it always detected it correctly for me, but i can't say i did it hundreds of times [15:52] LjL, is it really needed to backup? [15:52] nabcore: not very smart. [15:52] bazhang: what? sorry but really using a ":p" didn't seem so unrespectful... [15:52] ok but what im trying to tell you is i dont see any of the power manager icons in /usr/share/icons........i see one icon that is only used when plugged in, where are the discharging and charging icons ikonia [15:52] Hey, I've had som problems with my dvd burner lately. The DVDs hack when watching them and sometimes they even stop. I always burn at the automatic speed wich I think is maximum speed. Would lower burning speed might help? And if so, @ which speed? Thanks [15:52] Arelis, that's only up to you to decide... [15:52] bottiger: how much data are we talking about here? [15:53] ciao [15:53] dvds: care to join me in #ubuntu-offtopic ? [15:53] nabcore: Good question. I was thinking of one of the enhanced ftp clints which allow for more automation like lftp or such, called on a cron schedule.

I was rotating the cube and used some keys to freeze it then couldn't unfreeze it to get it back to normal and had to reboot.

[16:54] brobostigon: edit /etc/fstab [16:54] sjiraff: thats done in the /etc/fstab file [16:55] dtolj: edit fstab for what??fstab is for mounting partitions. [16:55] hello? xorg, anyone?

[16:56] sjiraff: depending on if you're using sata or ata disks they are named /dev/sdx or /dev/hdx [16:56] allright, thanks, i'll try that [16:56] what are repositories? [16:56] !repository [16:56] 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 [16:56] sjiraff: use "sudo fdisk -l" to find out what disk is named what [16:56] ok [16:57] sjiraff: or better your fdisk -l to see the list [16:57] sjiraff: make yourself root [16:58] when I try to ping the gateway, it is trying to ping via eth1 which is unwired, I want it to ping via eth0, which is wired and connected to router directly, how to do it ? [16:58] what to do with this subtitle? [16:58] I have .sub file [16:58] and don't know how to start it [16:58] enterneo_: look at man ping [16:59] in vlc [16:59] or mplayer [16:59] that's weird, the drive is listed as ntfs in fstab, but it's ext3 ... [16:59] or whatelse [16:59] wtf is happening [16:59] stmartin: thype the name of the prog you want to start into the terminal [17:00] kaffeine [17:00] simple I couldn't start [17:00] any subtitle [17:00] hi how can i change from one partitom to other in terminal i mean like go from sda1 to sda2 [17:00] partiton [17:01] I have .avi and .sub file [17:01] Dragon67: doesn't work like that [17:01] first I open .avi and it works [17:01] .sub file don't know how to implement [17:01] Dragon67: partitions are mounted on something, you need to use that path [17:01] !subtitle [17:01] choru: how do i do it then form example if i want to change my partiton [17:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about subtitle - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [17:01] anyone here play spring ? can you tell me how i add mods? i cant find the mod folder :P [17:01] is there a way to see when i have applied updates ? [17:01] ok [17:01] choru: you mean like type /dev/sda1? [17:02] Dragon67: no, /dev/sda1 has to be mounted somewhere. Like /media/yourlargedisk [17:02] Dragon67: What is it exactly you are trying/wanting to accomplish? [17:02] how to update my kernel (I have ubuntu 6.06 LTS dapper) [17:02] ? [17:03] Dragon67: you can't access partitions directly [17:03] i mean like for example from my home folder go to my other partiton === gnari is now known as gnari_gone [17:03] stmartin there is an auto updater in SYSTEm i believe [17:03] and how to upgrade it? [17:03] SYSTEM->ADMINISTRATION->Upgrade Manager [17:03] choru: thanks choru i should mounted first? [17:03] Dragon64, a /dev/THING is a device. you mount devices to directories. then access the directory (known as the mount point) [17:04] sudobash: there is no Upgrade Manager [17:04] Dragon67: in 7.10 and probably 6. aswell things are automaticly mounted on your desktop [17:04] i used it to go from 7.06 to 7.10 [17:04] Dragon67: it might already be available under /media/ [17:04] sudo apt-get upgrade, to update installed packages [17:04] (and on your desktop too :P) [17:04] Dragon64, You can easially set up /home on /dev/sda1 by mounting sda1 to /home for an example. thats different from Your user being able to access other devices/mountpoints. [17:05] sorry, the partition won't be "mounted" on your desktop, it will be a link to it [17:05] choru: it has been mounted and when i open the computer from paces it show sda 3 ,sda4 ,sda 5 [17:05] is there an update log somewhere? [17:05] http://en.opensuse.org/Pm-utils: "the main script 'pm-action' is called via symlinks as either pm-suspend, pm-hibernate or pm-suspend-hybrid. Why is such a construction expedient? Wouldn't be a more conventional construction more useful? [17:05] # [17:05] what i mean is how to change my position to go there [17:05] Dragon67: choru is right. There is a basic filesystem for instance of directories. Normally whatever partition you used for / holds these. Then you mount (sort of slicing) other partitions you want to access into a directory of that. So for instance the contents of the partition of /dev/sdb9 might be mounted into the directory of /mnt/sdb9 [17:06] i have 2 interfaces, eth0 and eth1 , when i doing ping 192.168.1.1, it is actually checking via eth1 which is unwired, I have connected the wired cable via eth0 which is connected to router directly [17:06] genii: i understand what do u mean thanks a lot [17:06] Dragon67: if you see a "folder" named sd3 on your deskop you can type "cd /media/sd3" in the terminal to go there [17:06] choru: thanks [17:07] choru: I had too long of lag LOL, work, etc [17:07] Dragon67: assuming you use a new version of ubuntu [17:07] hello why when i open nautilus there isnt have windows borders? other aplication have it [17:07] choru: it work thanks [17:07] okay here is my prob: default install of ubuntu /etc/init.d/gdm shows up blank, I ctrl+alt+f1 stop gdm > install the nvidia drivers from nvidia's website (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run) > restart gdm. everything works great until I reboot (then its repeat the process to get gdm to work) -help please [17:07] Dragon67: so the difference between Windows is that the filesystem is virtual, in the sense that it doesn't reflect what folder represents what partition etc. As opposed to windows where this is made very clear through the C: etc "folders" [17:08] enterneo_: ping -I eth1 [17:08] ok, will give my spamming one more try: I'm having som strange behavior on my newly installed 7.10 desktop, in gnome everything goes extremely slow (when gnome actually starts, half of the times it just give me a blank screen). And in xfce4 (that at least loads fast) I can't launch any gnome-programs, like gnome-terminal. Any ideas at all? I have no idea where to start looking for errors === BenC_ is now known as BenC [17:08] hey people, is it possible for me to change to a samba dir, or directory on another ubuntu pc, using console? [17:08] Totoro, you can mount samba shares locally so they appear as directorues [17:08] moonlite: thanks [17:08] choru: no idea,sorry [17:09] Totoro, You can do it through the fstab. or manually, or i perfer to use the samba fuse tools. [17:09] ok, i'll try mounting it [17:09] brobostigon: I can ping successfully via eth1 if i wire it to the router, but i want to use eth0 to access net, which is wired, and eth1 will remain unwired [17:09] Totoro, depending on what you are doing and how your network is set up. Dictated the best way to do it. [17:09] Totoro, i have had issues with shares with Spaces In their Names. :) so watch out for that. [17:10] How do I get gparted to be able to remove my vfat partition from my externl disk I just bought? There is a lock on it ... [17:10] but if i mount it, what do i type? mount smb://folder /home/username/Desktop/newfolder? [17:10] Totoro, theres also some graphical samba browser tools that can browse, then mount the shares. But thoes are not real popular these days [17:10] enterneo_: read the ping manual page, type man ping into terminal. [17:10] ok [17:10] Totoro, the smb:// is ONLY used in the gnome file manager.. not the shell [17:10] samba fuse? [17:10] oh i see [17:10] !info fusesmb [17:10] fusesmb: filesystem client based on the SMB file transfer protocol. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.6-1 (gutsy), package size 29 kB, installed size 140 kB [17:10] hello... I was wondering if anyone has had any experience using blkackberries with ubunut? [17:10] ubuntu... [17:11] my question again: any takers??? [17:11] okay here is my prob: default install of ubuntu /etc/init.d/gdm shows up blank, I ctrl+alt+f1 stop gdm > install the nvidia drivers from nvidia's website (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run) > restart gdm. everything works great until I reboot (then its repeat the process to get gdm to work) [17:11] --help please [17:11] Totoro, with fusesmb - i do a command like 'fusesmb Network' and then the whole samba netork appear in that directory. dynamicially changing as pc's/shares show up/disiappear === mcshpy is now known as penguin === penguin is now known as penguin394 [17:14] hi there channel :) [17:14] * genii hands dury a mug of coffee [17:15] are there an openoffice channel, thanks genii [17:16] dury: #users.openoffice.org [17:16] <_moro_bana_> Jack_Sparrow<; [17:16] <_moro_bana_> Jack_Sparrow: [17:16] Pici: thanks :) [17:17] hello there, has anyone fixed the problem with really dark video playback and nvidia cards? [17:17] _moro_bana_: Hi, eating breakfast... Is it a quick question? [17:18] <_moro_bana_> Jack_Sparrow: no it has to do with my partitions u helped me with [17:18] <_moro_bana_> Jack_Sparrow: you can go on i will be here [17:18] _moro_bana_: gimme few [17:19] can anyone tell me how i install python dcop for amarok? [17:19] my routing table is corrupt, can anyone help me ? === Ttech is now known as W6JCN [17:19] If I start an .avi or .mpeg or whatever, I get a really dark playback. If I run nvidia-settings during the playback and adjust the settings eversything is fine. As soon as I start the video again same problem. Any ideas? [17:20] impact: sounds like a codecissue [17:20] impact i do actually have the same thing :D [17:21] if i'm trying to connect to another ubuntu pc, and not windows, do i still use fusesmb? [17:21] impact: adjust what settings in nvidiasettings? [17:21] !nfs [17:21] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [17:21] @zth: no it isn't it does load the old settings from somewhere ... the xvideo settings (brightness) [17:21] Totoro, you could.. or for linxu to linux, you couldjust use ssh and scp, to access the remote pc easier [17:22] Totoro, or you could set up NFS shares. [17:22] if i have a look at the .nvidia-settings-rc, the correct values are stored [17:22] Totoro, once you are doing Linux to linux - that opens up a lot of possibilities.. :) again.. depending on what you are doing. [17:22] yo guys im needing to change my ip [17:22] Is it normal that after formatting a disk with ext2 that in gparted 7.38GiB is set to "used"? It's a 500GB disk [17:22] starting a video, and running nvidia-settings -l during playback loads the correct settings [17:23] come faccio a sapere quante periferiche ho montato? [17:23] mainly cause my best friend now hates me and ip banned me from my team site [17:23] hey, why doing a disst-upgrade on feisty tries to remove upstart and install sysvinit? [17:23] can anyone help me change my ip.. or run a proxy [17:23] hello [17:23] What's the different between openSSH and openSSH2 ? === Patoge1 is now known as Patogen [17:23] xinfei: tor will do that [17:23] when i try to use the pulldown Applications => Add / Remove programs it shows up as starting but does not. any idea on what is going on? [17:23] the problem is, adding that line to the session has no effect, because closing the video and reopening again resets the settings again [17:24] Patogen, probably, ext reserves 5% of the disk for internal uses [17:24] Brobositgon: tor is like... my worst nightmare of setting it up [17:24] anything else? [17:24] May I control the CPUfan somehow in ubuntu? [17:24] Patogen, You can change that % with the tune2fs command. [17:24] how do you check to see what driver (and version) gnome desktop is using? [17:24] xinfei: look up proxies on wikipedia and google. [17:24] awalton__/Dr_willis: But should I? Or do I need that? [17:25] ok... but would any of them allow an irc chat? [17:25] What's the different between openSSH and openSSH2 ? [17:25] that embedded in a webpage? [17:25] no idea [17:25] >_< ughh [17:26] Patogen, i set mine to 1% on my 500GB hd's :) [17:26] Patogen, unless that 7GB is really going to give you issues, it's best just to leave it [17:26] I've installed ubuntu in basque, but openoffice it's in english.... I mean the menus and all that. How can I put it all in basque. Are there any extra package to put it in basque. the current release it's 2.3. And there is OpenOffice in basque 2.2.1 [17:26] I use mine hds for MythTV recording space only. Soif they fill up.. i just lose a tv show or 2 [17:26] Does anyone have 4GB of RAM on a 7.10 box running X86? [17:26] But what is ext2 useing the space to? [17:27] XinFei: I thought (and I may be wrong) but aren't tor servers lcoked out of most of irc anyhow since they are often are used to shield abusive users. [17:27] I need helping accessing my XP HD from Ubuntu, can anyone help me out? [17:27] Murdoc650, mount? [17:27] Murdoc650: what's the problem? [17:27] 0.os.. no idea [17:27] !ntfs [17:27] 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 [17:27] Does anyone know what may cause periods of long waits for dns lookups in e.g. firefox or seamonkey, but where 'dig' gets an answer quickly? [17:27] but i just found proxyway [17:27] think im gunna use that.. it says it allows ircs [17:27] I need to get stuff off my XP HD and put it on my Ubuntu one, but I'm not sure how [17:28] Patogen, it's there in case the disk gets full and you need to do something about it (adminstration kinds of things) [17:28] Murdoc650: how much stuff? [17:28] there are probably other uses of it too, but that's the general case [17:28] about 100GB [17:28] !ntfs-3g > Murdoc650 [17:28] Murdoc650: sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/ / [17:28] sal [17:28] XinFei: FYI.. freenode runs an open proxy scanner. [17:29] hi, is there a standard means of exporting the installed package list so that I can 'initialize' another machine with all the same stuff? [17:29] Patogen, if it's not a boot drive then it's probably not going to be a worry either way, but the general advice is just to forget its there. [17:29] awalton__: Aha. Ah, better leave it as it is ... I've got 1500GB of space now so I guess I can remove things before anything of that happens ;) [17:29] jack_sparrow... its not Freenode... its a Gamesurge [17:29] inxane: is that a code I have to use? cus I have yet to figure out most of Ubuntu [17:29] can anyone help me configure firestarter to work with frostwire or at least point me in the right direction? [17:29] XinFei: Then should be fine... Sorry for the interruption [17:30] <_moro_bana_> Jack_SparrowJ : are u back [17:30] Murdoc650: you have to use it from the terminal.

[17:30] np.. just i think its stupid to work.. considering its made for windows.. and im using wine to run it [17:30] >_< [17:30] Murdoc650: but you have to know the device and partition for your XP drive [17:30] _moro_bana_: Yep, where are you at on that setup [17:30] Murdoc650: such as, /dev/hda1 [17:30] !cloning > AD7six [17:30] What's the different between openSSH protocol 1 and openSSH protocol 2 ? [17:31] inxane: its ntfs partition, not sure what you mean by device [17:31] <_moro_bana_> Jack_Sparrow: you know i copied a 72G to a 150G , i only see the working partition [17:31] Pronco, security [17:31] when I am trying ping 192.168.1.1 , the request is directed via eth1 which is unwired, however I want it to direct via eth0 which is wired to the router. I checked this by connecting another cable from eth1 to the router and it starting pinging, right now I am getting Destination Host Unreachable, ofcourse because eth1 is unwired , how do I solve this ? [17:31] <_moro_bana_> Jack_Sparrow: the setup , done with [17:31] Murdoc650: i hate to say it, but you need to do a little bit of research on basic linux administration first.

[18:41] marko-_-: it's already installed through the restricted drivers manager [18:41] Xintruder: do you have a support question [18:41] ikedaman, [18:41] Oh, Im just reading my xorg log and it says CRT-O is a connected monitor. It has it as an assigned display. My panel its being recognized as a virtual screen [18:42] ikonia, well if my friend enables that [18:42] he can't get to the X anymore... [18:42] marko-_-: enabled it then [18:42] bullium, those dont build a chroot, just enable a 32bit version of FF running [18:42] is there an issue with gnome running kde applications? [18:42] marko-_-: boot using safe mode [18:42] ikonia: not right now, I want to know how ubuntu on system76 laptop was thats all [18:42] Xintruder: it's built for ubuntu - so it will be fine.

[18:42] iclebyte: i will post something via pastebin...one sec [18:42] ikonia, why... he's a noob... he keeps clicking me for 2 days... isn't there the most easiest way how to do it -.- [18:43] nucky, np, im trying it now - just booting my laptop [18:43] marko-_-: booting into safe mode and clicked "rescticted drivers manager" is VERY easy [18:43] stefg: i'll try that [18:43] marko-_-: you can't help him with that, I suggest you are more cautious over who you call a "noob" [18:43] with noob i meaned a newbie... sorry [18:44] stefg: autoremove is invalid it says [18:44] ikonia: Im on it. I was told no problems would be on my vaio with ubuntu, but there are. I thought asking a person with hands on that laptop would give me accurate information. [18:44] marko-_-: if you can't help him with that simple task, I suggest you are more cautious over who you class as a "newb" [18:44] anyone? [18:44] Xintruder: here is not the place [18:44] FernandoLujan: ok, so just 'apt-get remove --purge ...' [18:44] ikonia: Would you kindly forward me to a place?

[18:45] iclebyte: http://pastebin.org/14886 [18:45] marko-_-: and I've just told you how to fix that [18:45] FernandoLujan: ok, now try 'sudo apt-get -f install' again.... should run without doing something [18:45] marko-_-: and you don't seem to grasp it, so I suggest you are more cautious over who you call "noob" [18:46] iclebyte: has my /etc/pam.d/vmware-authd first then the errors [18:46] ikonia, yes i get it. [18:46] marko-_-: good [18:46] could someone help me get my printer working in Ubuntu? [18:46] XLV: thats what I did, and no one knew how to stop my laptop crashing when I use compiz! [18:46] What does the CTRL and = combo do in the bash shell??? [18:46] komputes: nothing that I'm aware of [18:46] stefg: its all done with no errors but 0 installed and 0 upgraded [18:47] if you have been looking at some picture, DO NOT forget to remove the remaining thumbnails in ~/.thumbnails/ [18:48] FernandoLujan: good, so you have no more clamping packages now. Now you have to investigate if there's a workaround for the bug in the emacs21 package or some third-party source for a working .deb in order to be able to install a working emacs [18:48] iclebyte: you see that [18:48] iclebyte: my pastebin [18:48] ikonia: if you have a long running process that hides a lot, give it a try, it prints whats going on in the background i think [18:48] komputes: what ? [18:48] stefg: thanks. Is it possible for me to install zlib through synaptic without errors? [18:48] butsniffer:: did that help? [18:48] FernandoLujan: zlib is already installed [18:49] FernandoLujan: should be [18:49] ikonia: yeah, i think it follows the process which is currently running [18:49] komputes: the running process, is a shell [18:49] hi guys, i get an error running apt-get update saying: Unable to find expected entry web/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?). Can this be a local problem or is it more probable that it is an error on the server? [18:49] ikonia: one line at a time, each time you press CTRL = [18:49] ikoniathe child process of the shell [18:49] i see it [18:49] If I typed mount /dev/sdc3 /media/music and I meant /dev/sdc2 can I just type mount /dev/sdc2 /media/music to fix it? [18:49] ikonia:the child process of the shell [18:50] Hello. How do I completely remove compiz? I'm using Kubuntu Gutsy and I wanted to give Compiz-Fusion a try, but I don't want it anymore... I've already removed all of the packages I installed, but Compiz is still working. Thanks in advance. [18:50] iclebyte: ok [18:50] Jack_Sparrow: better unmount and remount [18:50] Jack_Sparrow: cross-mounts can be a drag [18:50] hi everyone [18:50] stefg, ikonia: it wasnt checked off in synaptic. and I need the dev. libraries === Palionu_smokes_o is now known as Palionu [18:50] ikonia: thanks umount it is [18:50] is port 902 open on the server? [18:50] !find zlib-dev [18:50] iclebyte: all ports are open [18:51] umount /media/sdc3 ? [18:51] iclebyte: ubuntu ships with no firewall enabled [18:51] Package/file zlib-dev does not exist in gutsy [18:51] Jack_Sparrow: yup [18:51] no i mean the vmware server process is definatly listening? [18:51] ikonia: not right.. one sec [18:51] iclebyte: nmap would tell you, what ports are open on a machine [18:51] Jack_Sparrow: sudo ? [18:51] for whatever reason, I deleted a lot of my system fonts... but if I now want to re-install the packages that contained them, I will have to remove a *lot* of other packages, which I do not want to do... is there any other way of re-installing only the font packages? [18:51] Jack_Sparrow: spelling out the obvious [18:51] Jack_Sparrow: umount /media/musics sorry [18:51] iclebyte: i guess im not sure [18:51] ikonia: umount /dev/sdc3 or /media/music [18:52] !info zlib1g-dev | FernandoLujan [18:52] Jack_Sparrow: I miss-read [18:52] fernandolujan: zlib1g-dev: compression library - development.

[18:53] i know, im trying to help nucky figure out why he cant connect to his vmware-server installation, im not asking how to determine which ports are open on my machine.. [18:54] stefg: Im trying to compile a test under g++ and it can't find my SDL_ttf library, which worked glorious yesterday, and synaptic says it's still installed, even though g++ says its not! [18:54] iclebyte, why do you ask him to join here in this channel? [18:54] truna, um.. i didnt.. [18:54] FernandoLujan, have you modified your $PATH, or INCLUDE path.. [18:55] iclebyte, i meant why not ask him to join here [18:55] FernandoLujan: hmmm... no idea... some env-variables not set right? [18:55] he is here... [18:55] truna: nope [18:55] no one with a guess? [18:55] truna i've left everything how it was yesterday [18:56] FernandoLujan, are you using some kind of Makefile? is it including the correct path context? [18:56] is there a way i can make my ubuntu box resolv windows names on hte network? [18:56] truna: no makefile [18:56] truna: only terminal g++ [18:56] anyone knows why I receive blank screen on boot, while I change "xorg.conf" driver from "vesa" to "nvidia [18:56] ? [18:57] adante, add them to /etc/resolv [18:57] truna: it goes: g++ -o IsoTiling main.cpp -lSDL -lSDLmain -lSDL_ttf [18:57] stmartin: using framebuffer? vga=someting? [18:57] adante if the names are not registered in dns, you can add them to /etc/hosts manually [18:57] .conf [18:57] I have GeForce 8400GS [18:57] iclebyte: netstat is what im trying to use since the remote console is on windows [18:57] stmartin: Put it instead as nv [18:57] Hi! Is there any way to monitor HARDWARE RAID in Ubuntu/Debian? [18:57] ok, I will try [18:57] FernandoLujan, well anyways verify what you environment is, type env and echo $PATH [18:58] nucky, netstat cant probe a remote host [18:58] hey All [18:58] SiLOX: try #ubuntu-server with that question as well [18:58] butsniffer I think resolv.conf contains the nameservers...individual workstations should go in hosts [18:58] nucky, it will only show you statistics about the interface on that windows machine [18:58] what is the OO chanel? [18:58] stefg: Okay - i will try that, thx [18:58] yeah, i got them mixed up. [18:58] iclebyte: nmap can probe remote machines [18:58] Evening everyone. My shaping/nat machine is overloaded. (0% idle cpu, 'ksoftirqd' seems to use most of cpu power). What might be a solution for this problem? Maybe changing the default IO scheduler help a little bit on performance? [18:58] nm [18:58] iclebyte, how is his network for vmware setup? i think there are 3 kinds, bridge, local only and nat..which of those 3? [18:58] butsniffer I had to check...almost confused them myself [18:59] iclebyte: right [18:59] is there not a way to make it look it up dynamically? [18:59] butsniffer: th0r is right, resolv.conf has nameservers. Hosts file has ip and names of machines that are not nameservers (including localhost) [18:59] heh, reason resolv.conf came to mind right away. figured name resolution for hosts. [18:59] genii, you can set those in gui also [18:59] iclebyte: it was a new build installed awhile back that broke pam or my remote login from console [18:59] butsniffer yeah...that was my first impulse too...glad I took the time to check it [19:00] iclebyte: how can i tell what package apt-get installed [19:00] truna: env and echo $path? [19:00] truna: I just a couple of days new to linux :D [19:00] FernandoLujan, yes, on a terminal type env [19:00] truna, ask him... nucky is in this channel publicly speaking to me.. [19:01] Where can I find a guide for audacious? I'm having trouble making it display åäö and "&" [19:01] hi everybody, i have a laptop with a GeForce FX Go 5300 videocard. My laptop screen is boken, so I have an external monitor connected (Samsumg SyncMaster 931BF). However, when I change my screen at the Screen and Graphics menu, linux comes with a message (after logging in again) that the monitor is not supported. Strange, because the monitor is nicely listed. I run Linux ubuntu 2.6.22-14-generic. Anyone an idea what I have to do? [19:01] would anyone know why i would have to reconfigure my vmware install when i add/remove hardware from my computer? [19:01] how do i uninstall this stupid program vmware .... i mean delete it .. it was self compiled .. [19:01] like a mouse or keyboard? [19:01] nucky, apt-cache showpkg [19:01] i run now at resolution 640x480, I would like to run at 1280x1024@75 [19:02] why i need to insert the disc after build-essentials? [19:02] mamep, what are you doing ? [19:02] truna: now what? [19:02] truna: thanks [19:02] iclebyte: 1.0.4-1feisty3 [19:02] FernandoLujan, did you see the correct environment path to your g++ ? [19:03] truna: I dontknow. I installed TTF through synaptic and it did it automatically [19:03] Guys .. Is there a way to restrict the amount of ram used on vmware player ?? i can't find a settings tab in the program and on my 386 i never had it do this before [19:03] truna: I hadn't touched or even known the path [19:03] does increasing ram from 2 to 4 improve my laptop's performance with ubuntu? [19:03] fUGLY, have you enabled the restricted drivers in the 'restricted driver manager' ? [19:03] Xintruder, only if you use apps that use that much mem [19:03] can I somehow free unused ram? [19:03] yes, i have [19:04] FernandoLujan, thats a must when coding, knowing the path, where libraries and headers are located [19:04] for 4gb ram you will need x64 [19:04] XLV: I might run windows xp through a linux visualizer or whatever its called [19:04] emulation [19:04] hi, how can I disable keyring manager to ask for a password for a pass protected wireless access point? [19:04] truna: im just so new to linux. When I worked on windows I knew exactly all my paths [19:04] is there a downside with starting applications with "Use Startup Notification" and/or is there an advantage not to use it? like speed up the start up of it? [19:04] MrKeuner: Do you auto log in? [19:04] Xintruder, then if you want to assign much ram to xp virtual install ( eg have 2GB for linux and 1GB for virtual XP ) it would help [19:05] Daviey: yes [19:05] fUGLY, nvidia or ATI card (or other) ? [19:05] FernandoLujan, its not about just linux, even in windows, compiling codes, you must know where libraries and headers are stored [19:05] truna: Im just not sure how it works here. The path says /usr/local/sbin [19:05] truna: but I did know where the librares and headers were stored [19:05] truna: when I had windows. [19:05] i have a lumix dmc lc5. I cennect it, but ubuntu haven't source. where can i research it? [19:05] nvidea [19:05] nucky, check out: http://www.vmware.com/support/esx15/doc/esx15_runvm7.html [19:05] MrKeuner: AFAIK you need to store your password in plain text :( [19:05] truna: so Im finding out now under linux [19:05] truna: with your help [19:05] FernandoLujan, look in your programming book where -I look (capital eye) and -l (lowercase el) [19:06] configuration: driver=nvidia latency=248 maxlatency=1 mingnt=5 module=nvidia [19:06] Daviey: what if I do not auto log in? [19:06] then there is a pam module [19:06] fUGLY, since there are lots of users talking in here, it really helps if you put my nick in your reply, so I might see it, thanks :) [19:06] something smells! [19:06] description: VGA compatible controller, product: NV34GLM [GeForce FX Go 5300] [19:06] Daviey: what does that mean? [19:06] truna: I have no idea what you mean :( [19:06] fUGLY, have you attempted to change the resolution ? [19:06] neverblue: ow, sorry, im new with irc :P [19:06] neverblue: yes, i have [19:06] fUGLY, not a problem... [19:06] nucky, im confused, are you having trouble logging in over SSH to a console? or are you having trouble connecting to a remote vmware server session? [19:07] hello! I can't seem to find on advanced compiz config the setting to tweak the viewport plugin. It doesn't initiate when I move the mouse to the top-left [19:07] fUGLY, using what methods ? [19:07] MrKeuner: google pam-keyring [19:07] I have a laptop and was wondering how to enable the svideo out? The function key does not work under linux [19:07] neverblue: just going to the menu settings -> Screens and Graphics, and changing the resolution there [19:07] iclebyte: the guests work...i can ssh to the bsd one and rdp to the windows one [19:07] FernandoLujan, hang on, lets see what google will tell us [19:07] iclebyte: i just cant use the remote console for vmware or even the mui [19:08] iclebyte: they both refuse to let me login [19:08] can i install by category some how ? [19:08] fUGLY, ok, there is an nvidia tool, that maybe able to help, are you running dual monitors, or justa single ? [19:08] MrKeuner: http://www.savvyadmin.com/2007/06/21/pam_keyring-automatic-keyring-authentication/ [19:08] nucky, okay, have you ever managed to log in? im just reading here and it seems that the vmware-auth process is run via inetd... which doesnt come with ubuntu by default as far as i can tell [19:08] neverblue: well, I have my laptop screen closed, just using my monitor screen [19:09] fUGLY, sudo aptitude install nvidia-settings [19:09] why i need to insert the disc after build-essentials? [19:09] fUGLY, may already be installed... [19:09] mamep, need more essentials! [19:09] mamep, what are you doing ? [19:09] neverblue: ok, i will try, just a sec [19:09] FernandoLujan, here is one variable you should look at $LD_LIBRARY_PATH [19:09] lol @ buttsniffer :) [19:09] install from source [19:09] does ubuntu support svidio output? [19:09] mamep, install what from source ? [19:09] Alright this is annoying [19:09] when i roll my mouse button in FF and my desktop it opens the right click menu [19:09] how can i fix this? [19:10] neverblue: it is not installed yet.. installing now [19:10] deadlock, what's FF? [19:10] nucky, /etc/inetd.conf shows some references to port 902 being associated with vmware server on my installation, but i have no inetd - im installing it now to give it a blast. i've only ever needed to connect to my virtual machines via the local console because im a student [19:10] firefox [19:10] Xintruder, it does, either install nvidia-settings, or edit xorg.conf manually, thats if you have nvidia card [19:10] config problem? [19:10] Daviey: thank you [19:10] fUGLY, make *sure* to run it as root, gksudo nvidia-settings [19:10] type about:config in the address bar. [19:10] truno: doesn't echo anything [19:10] neverblue : asterisk [19:10] iclebyte: 902 is working fine..i tested it with telnet [19:10] mamep, an, nice :) [19:11] butsniffer: it does it on my desktop as well [19:11] but it needs cd [19:11] mamep, and your compiling from source... because... ?

[19:12] neverblue: Ok, I have runned your commando with sudo [command], and it did something :P What do I have to do now? [19:12] mamep: wouldn't a source based one suit you better?

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [19:53] neverblue, 7.10 [19:53] gazal, it seems like your phone is not well liked by your system, you see the USB disconnect on the status? [19:53] iclebyte: sorry was on the phone..back to this [19:53] ObeyRoy, reposting your question is better than just general comments [19:53] And the one slider I can't adjust is Acceleration, not sensitivity.

Is there nothing i can do but get a reader? [19:54] Good evening, where can I get help with SDL Graphics Library? [19:54] iclebyte, other than downgrade to your previous version, try and install vmware-server manually again or get 32bit ubuntu on the go.. [19:54] Truna- why does the phone not read? [19:54] XLV, how about installing nvidia-settings, and configure it that way (btw. hope you have backedup an xorg.conf) [19:54] I need to get to System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager in Kubuntu.

[19:56] So, how do I go about getting a new version of bzr? It sounds sorta paradoxical... [19:56] !sauerbraten [19:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about sauerbraten - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:56] neverblue, knowing that -16 or -15 works would help [19:56] nucky, no worries, if you get it working leave me a PM and let me know what it was. i've got to go out. take it easy.

[19:57] DrHalan: You'd just install the desktop and apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop [19:58] SloggerKha1: after an sudo apt-get update, of course [19:58] DrHalan, what server services you want install? typically its apt-get install serverpackagename [19:58] thanks [19:58] I was looking on launchpad [19:58] pike_: http://rafb.net/p/A9NjRU68.html [19:58] And it didn't have repos given.

For some reason my ubuntu install is not allow external connections to mysql. How might I allow this? [20:10] PurpZeY, thanks fixed in vlc :) [20:10] What might prevent using the internet from the LiveCD, while ping and DNS work? [20:10] NoelJB: Yes, that says #ubuntu+1 is the place [20:10] brontos, there are lots of tutorial on that on google, you have to allow it, its a mysql admin command to allow [20:10] elisboa: no route to host [20:10] kyle_: try this link http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-199899523054020719 it's a demo of what XGL does.

[20:17] cyberfin: *maybe* ... I am running nVidia 570 on my T61p. What do you need? [20:17] can I install the gnu bacgammon in ubuntu? [20:17] mynyml: You're welcome [20:18] gnubg.org? [20:18] elisboa: i just read something online saying that in order to use netcat the other computer needs to be setup to receive them... [20:18] aah not again [20:18] The gui network tools app shows the ipv4 and ipv6 addresses on my interfaces, but the network config app doesn't let me adjust the ipv6 part, only the ipv4. Are there any other methods besides vi to control ipv6 modes and addressing in Ubuntu? [20:18] kyle_: no problem [20:18] hi === delete is now known as sexas [20:18] does anyone know where the next UDS is going to be? [20:18] can I install the gnu bacgammon in ubuntu on gnubg.org because there isn't a .deb package? [20:18] elisboa, its alsa right now. how do I switch to oss? [20:18] hello everybady, i have the problem with my graphic tarjet [20:19] elisboa: want to just get me thing direct link for netscape so i can wget it? lol [20:19] \quit [20:19] Is it possible to install just grub when booting of an ubuntu CD? [20:19] is it supported or not? [20:19] Ok i have nvidia 8500 GT 512mb runing gutsy 64 on amd 4200+, the problem is that when rendering stuff like open arena I get black all over, also when I reconfigure x to use nvidia and not nv I get error saying "no screens found" Plz hlp! [20:19] If i install a program from a debian package how do I find the path for the application (the path where it stores all of its resources)? [20:19] !compile | white_eagle [20:19] _moro_bana_: You could do it this way http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2006/12/05/how-to-clone-an-installation-ubuntu-510-6061-610/ [20:19] white_eagle: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [20:19] is the nvidea 7200 I need the driver === dan__ is now known as osx5 [20:19] lots of questions... no answers [20:19] g0rb3hy: Do you have a FAT partition? [20:19] holli: heh, yeah. [20:19] yup [20:19] cyberfin: the only solution to that i've found is to disable XGL and run open arena [20:20] lol [20:20] cyberfin: probably can't help you much. the binary (nvidia) driver works fine for me. [20:20] cyberfin: but that requires restarting X [20:20] <_moro_bana_> Clearzen: i will check it out [20:20] g0rb3hy: I like using grub4dos. Easy to use, no need to change MBR/boot sectors. [20:20] Question: I think I'm getting close to having it work -- I locked out IRQ 5 (and DMA 1 and 5) on the BIOS. Now when I boot up and look at lsmod output, I see what looks like the right modules (e.g. snd_sb_common)... I just don't hear sound. [20:20] cyberfin: I don't know why... Quake3 runs perfectly fine but openarena has issues... though they both run a bit slow on my computer with XGL enabled [20:20] <_moro_bana_> Clearzen: thanks for the links [20:20] truna: thanks! It had to do with the bind address. [20:20] grekkos:disable xgl [20:20] ok can you tell me the command to deactivate xgl... im a bit .. of a ... noob. [20:20] ZiNC: Originaly I had vista, then i installed ubuntu on same drive, then i wiped vista partition to install XP, I just need to put grub back on [20:20] Hello, I've got a problem with Guitar Hero III atm. Installing worked fine, however when I start it I get an error message stating "Windows Virtual Memory needs to be enabled to play this game." And I'm wondering if there's anyway to activate this (or work around it). Give me a tell if there's anyone that got an idea :) [20:20] _moro_bana_: np [20:20] white_eagle: that's what i do :) my computer can't handle it [20:21] i'll try anyway. somebody know an apt repository for 6.06 that contains a perl > 5.8.7? [20:21] white_eagle: I was helping someone else.. [20:21] ZiNC: but i have fat32 formated external drive spare [20:21] grekkos, what kinda a graphics card do u have? [20:22] oh btw doom3 has the same problem, but what I found really irritating was the 'fatal server error: no screens found' [20:22] white_eagle: ATI Radeon, but it's an old card-- my system is about 10 years old... game runs great when i disable XGL [20:22] g0rb3hy: Besides the DOS exe, I never used other grub variants, so I'm not sure of the details. If it was an MBR install and the only change is XP writing its own, I guess just let grub rewrite its MBR. [20:22] Question: Is there a better forum to ask about sound issues? [20:22] white_eagle: cyberfin is the one who was having problems [20:22] grekkos: I have ATI radeon xpress 200m and when I try to run openarena or quake3 I'm having problems [20:22] ZiNC: yeah thats what i want to do :) just unsure how without running a linux installer disk [20:23] If i install a program from a debian package how do I find the path for the application (the path where it stores all of its resources)? [20:23] grekkos the screen is scrambled [20:23] white_eagle: I have an nvidia 8500 GT [20:23] how do i rip a specific video from a dvd disc to an .avi file that is exactlf 700 MB? [20:23] white_eagle: my quake3 runs, i get maybe 20-50fps but it runs... OpenArena the entire screen is scrambled like you said [20:23] ZiNC: atm ive booted the ubuntu disk and opened a tty, Id asumed i could do it in here somehow! :P [20:23] ubotu tty [20:23] 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. [20:23] g0rb3hy: Hopefully. :) [20:23] white_eagle: I compiled my Quake3 from source, though... I don't know if that has any effect on it.. [20:24] g0rb3hy: Is there grub-install? [20:24] white_eagle: for openarena i used the deb package [20:24] my doom 3 does exactly the same though [20:24] cyberfin: they're all based on the quake 3 engine [20:24] ZiNC: just trying to mount the CD atm, only tempfs and basic tools right now [20:24] Why does not the site http://www.oszoo.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page work for me in firefox? It doesn't even load it [20:25] Are adobe fonts packaged anywhere? [20:25] g0rb3hy: Why not the GUI CD? [20:26] ZiNC: I didnt download it =s [20:26] ok. so I should rip the card out stomp on it and sell my soul to belzebub then :P [20:26] and to think I bought nvidia to spare me the hassle [20:26] g0rb3hy: Might be quicker, depending on your connection speed. :) Though, I'm not sure how safe it is just to "grub-install /dev/hda". [20:26] If i install a program from a debian package how do I find the path for the application's resources? It's separate from the binary which i believe is in /usr/bin or something like that... [20:26] cyberfin: you could just disable XGL and restart X [20:26] how can i disable it? [20:27] cyberfin: i wrote a script yesterday to do it for me so i just type "togglexgl" and it shuts off [20:27] grekkos, dpkg -L packagename [20:27] cyberfin: you need to create the file ~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable [20:27] Jowi: thanks :) [20:27] I NEED HELP! [20:27] Why doesn't firefox load the site http://www.oszoo.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page?

[20:32] FactTech, lol your nick [20:32] and now when I go to boot it loads grub 1.5 and gives me like a cmd prompt (sorry windows background) [20:32] wsguede I use Xubuntu on older machines. [20:32] !splashscreen [20:32] To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.

[20:34] wsguede GRUB is the boot loader. It is normal to see it at first. Are there various options you can choose from in a menu? [20:34] how does rsync work? how does it know if a file has changed? [20:34] g0rb3hy: Maybe you should read the grub docs, I'm not sure about the details from that point on. :) [20:34] gnomefreak how does the && work? [20:34] bottiger: Checksums, I suppose. [20:35] bottiger: last date modified, file size, reads it? [20:35] stinkyfoo1: mv file newplace && mv file new place [20:35] Hello. I rebooted my computer a little while ago... and when it loaded up again Compiz wasn't working... I tried starting it from the terminal and this is what it gave back: http://pastebin.com/d1b2926b6 Any thoughts on what's wrong? [20:35] i need some help with winrar [20:35] gnomefreak how is that different from ; [20:35] D3Zz: winrar is for windows, right? [20:35] ZiNC: sure? so it has to calculate a new checksum for my 4.6GB iso every time?

[20:35] ahh thanks [20:36] how do you install a splash screen? [20:36] I only have ftp-acces but want to use rsync. would it be possible (i.e. usable) to just mount the ftp-server as a filesystem and then use rsync [20:36] D3Zz: sudo apt-get install unrar-free [20:36] but the main thing isnt really bout rar but what i need to do is rar a big file and i want to know how i can let it take the name of the map where it is in [20:36] bottiger: I would guess wildly that it checks last date and time modified [20:36] bottiger: When resyncing files, that's what it uses. But it seems you are asking when it decides it needs to resync? [20:36] so how do i define the map where im in? something with %dir%?

[20:40] :) [20:40] will ubuntu recognise wireless headsets? [20:41] wsguede About GRUB? [20:41] white_eagle: USB? [20:41] white_eagle: it works with mine, but it's not very plug and play [20:41] fact tech: sure [20:41] USB yes [20:41] white_eagle: No idea. :) [20:41] wsguede Like I said, it's normal to see GRUB on startup. You should have a choice of various boot options, though. [20:42] wsguede Do you see any options? What text is on the GRUB screen? [20:42] umm [20:42] facttech hang on [20:42] FactTech: I suspect he's getting busybox [20:42] genii Why would he get busybox? [20:42] soGGy, I'm planning to buy wireless plug-n-play usb headsets, will ubuntu recognize them or not? [20:43] oh sorry man [20:43] I have that autocomplete enabled [20:43] FactTech: initrd may not have driver for the device he's booting from for instance [20:43] Hey there im using rutilt for my usb wireless adapter, but i have to have it run with sudo otherwise i cant connect to my AP, is this safe? [20:43] as I said I'm planning to buy wireless plug-n-play usb headsets, will ubuntu recognize them or not? [20:43] genii I'm afraid I'll have to learn what you just said means. :) [20:44] genii He should at least get a normal GRUB menu, right? [20:44] hey all my Amerok won't play any music how do I install the codec [20:44] !codecs > carl_ (carl_, see the private message from Ubotu) [20:44] yo, has anyone got their pda working with ubuntu? the device shows as ttyusb0 [20:44] facttech: its not giving me the boot options like you say, I know what you are talking about though, because I have reg ubuntu dual booting on my other computer with vista, BUT this one is saying [20:44] [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB ... blah blah about the use of the tab button...] [20:45] rexy: "normal terminal" you mean a text-mode one? a VT? [20:45] yeh [20:45] wsguede When you installed this, what did you use? A DesktopCD (aka LiveCD) or an "alternate" install CD? [20:45] r-wolf: you can use the "lm-sensors" package, it contains a script called "fancontrol" [20:45] FactTech: If the mbr part of grub cannot understand what sort of driver to use for the primary hd for instance, it loads the initial ramdisk image (initrd) but then stalls and drops to a pseudo bash type shell called the busybox [20:45] ZiNC: I didnt download it =s [20:45] i can read a man page, just need a quick pointer on what configure's it [20:46] ZiNC: oops [20:46] can anyone help me edit the routing table ? [20:46] LjL: thanks! I'll try that [20:46] g0rb3hy: :) [20:46] how do I get to my xorg file [20:46] Hey can me anyone say what I need for this http://www.onlyfree.de/php/pasteservice/show.php?id=5411 [20:46] use the route command [20:46] facttech alternate, the live version didn't work for some reason, I think there was a problem with the disk and I didn't bother to redownload it [20:46] rexy: for the font, i don't know, but you can change the resolution (i.e. the "amount of text", if that's what you meant) with the kernel option "vga". try "vga=ask" [20:46] carl it's in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, make sure to back it up first somewhere safe (not /tmp) before tinkering [20:46] ZiNC: Ran rescue mode from alternate disk, it let me mount the old linux FS and run the grbu installer package [20:46] LjL: yeah that's what i ment, thanx [20:46] wsguede What genii is saying might apply, though I haven't run into this situation myself. [20:46] g0rb3hy: And that's it? [20:47] rexy: as for the font... it gets changed during boot, so let me look [20:47] LjL: nah this is what i needed [20:47] i want ping 192.168.1.1 to route via eth0 than eth1, it is routing via eth1 right now [20:47] ZiNC: just had to do grub-install /dev/sda1 its given me back grub and the linux partions but windows aint bootable, i can fix that in linux now tho :) [20:47] needed to see more text, heh [20:47] wsguede So you see "loading GRUB..." but then it doesn't come up with the normal GRUB menu like you see on your ubuntu dual boot machine? [20:47] for some reason it still had vista as a bootable choise [20:47] correct [20:47] facttech correct [20:47] rexy: well anyway i found it, "man consolechars", or follow the example in /etc/init.d/console-screen.sh [20:47] what do I need to run .rv files? [20:48] ahg, i try to connect my second machine to my router via wlan, ubuntu shows the network and i can click it and it tries to connect but i dont get any of the 2 green dots :( [20:48] ZiNC: which makes me think it was never really 'deleted' by windows [20:48] what codec [20:48] FactTech: interesting ... I've seen that behavior [20:48] FactTech: [20:48] sorry [20:48] g0rb3hy: That was simple enough. :) [20:48] thanx LjL , noted it for future reference :) [20:48] wsguede According to what genii is saying, this means that GRUB is failing to load correctly, maybe due to a device driver issue for the hard drive. [20:48] ZiNC2^6: are you the one asking about the live CD and internet? you aren't on kubuntu by any chance? [20:48] genii how do I get through this busybox? [20:48] I need to install Ubuntu 7.10 to 10 computers, how to do it most easily? [20:48] NoelJB seen that behavior re: SB16 ISA or re: wsguede's issue? [20:48] hey guys, whenever i reconfigure xorg-server using dpkg and set the new display res to 1280x1024 reboot it always stays on 1024x768 its a radeon using the drivers fine with 128mb ram and 19" dell crt it can do 1600 why wontit? [20:48] can me anyone say what I need to make this http://www.onlyfree.de/php/pasteservice/show.php?id=5411 [20:48] FactTech: just the "GRUB ..." and nothing after it, but only when booting a RH distro from USB. [20:49] LjL: No. Why? [20:49] FactTech: yeah, sorry. Hit when I didn't mean to. [20:49] ZiNC: imo its linux karma :) Ubuntu is doing eveything on my system now except for games, thats why i downgraded vista to xp :) [20:49] wsguede Is there anything on the drive you care about? [20:49] ZiNC2^6: because i know of a possible problem with the internet "at large" not working in kubuntu while ping works [20:49] nope [20:49] LjL: Maybe it's the same, who knows. [20:50] wsguede Do you happen to know what was installed before? [20:50] LjL: DNS works with that problem? [20:50] anyone? [20:50] dusty_: are you configuring yourself or using the screen and graphic tool? [20:50] all my problems are solved [20:50] xp home [20:50] :) [20:50] facttech xphome [20:50] I got sound and graphics :) [20:50] ZiNC2^6: well, the problem in Kubuntu is with network-manager (knetworkmanager specifically), which in certain cases believes there is no connection even if there is one, so KDE applications refuse to connect. but that shouldn't apply to, say, firefox [20:50] wsguede I don't know what would be causing this, necessarily, but based on what genii said, it might clear up if you completely repartition the drive. [20:50] rexy, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is what im doing [20:51] LjL: Well, it was Firefox too in this case, and no KDE AFAIK. :) [20:51] "xrandr -q " shows? [20:51] what would I use to convert flv to avi? [20:51] in a terminial within x [20:51] wsguede As in delete all partitions, then create a new partition and format it, then reinstall with the alternate CD. [20:51] tyup [20:51] facttech how would I do that other then going through the cd? [20:51] 10 installations (Ubuntu 7.10), how to make one and than all others to be the same? [20:51] wsguede I can't remember if the alternate CD lets you specify partition stuff, but I would guess it does. === pteague_work is now known as pteague [20:52] wsguede Wait... are you getting this symptom when you are first trying to install? [20:52] http://www.spectralphp.net/paste/122 - lol [20:52] rexy, #? [20:52] no, right after I install [20:52] So, whilst installing WoW, my computer screen turns black.

[20:53] !burn > r-wolf [20:54] facttech dban? [20:54] dusty System->Administration->screen and graphics, it allows you to change your resolution, try that first [20:54] wsguede Best of luck -- I'm not an expert on this problem. [20:54] hmm, I have an FLV file but I'm not using YouTube, Google Video or DailyMotion... How the hell do I point clive to a local file? [20:54] wsguede "Darin's Boot and Nuke" -- just look up DBAN on google. [20:54] Rexy i have done that it didnt work [20:54] wsguede It clean-wipes hard drives. [20:54] hmm [20:54] ok [20:54] LjL, which one is gnome and not terminal based? it's a lil confusing [20:55] Kuropon: gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast [20:55] wsguede I'm mentioning it only because it will zero out the master boot record.

[21:00] Moduliz0r: but it's possible that the ffmpeg version compiled for windows contains the relevant codecs while the ubuntu one doesn't (the usual legal reasons, you know), so can't guarantee it works. it should, though, the "clive" manpage itself gives example using ffmpeg... [21:00] enterneo: but we're only talking about your PC, not your laptop or router, right? :) [21:01] NoelJB: actually this configuration worked perfectly a week before, but recently I went home, and therefore had to use eth1 to connect to the internet using pppoe-adsl , so i did pppoeconf, and it reconfigured everything automcatically [21:01] oh xD [21:01] enterneo, can you setup static addresses for both laptop and desktop?

[21:31] hello [21:31] darklordveynom, give me your lspci listing as well, please [21:32] !flood [21:32] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [21:32] enterneo, did you save /etc/network/interfaces before doing so? [21:32] darklordveynom, lspci [21:32] enterneo, paste it again in pastebin [21:32] neverblue: the whole lspci command ? [21:32] XLV: yes, I did [21:32] madgoldfish, okay thats a good sign, compare what is in the /lib/firmware/"old kernel"/rt2500 and your new one see if the drivers are even same file size [21:32] darklordveynom, pastebin [21:32] Is there a way to install the TANGO icons in Inkscape in Ubuntu ??? [21:32] When someone is free, please scroll up and see my problem, i need help, thanks in advance.

[21:34] :( [21:34] NoelJB: only in vms or in general? [21:34] darklordveynom, sudo aptitude install nvidia-settings nvidia-xorg [21:34] as you said, the connection still works. it is just a reporting defect. [21:34] darklordveynom, then give those two apps a try :) [21:34] truna: No rt2500 in any of the 4 kernel folders. I've got rt2561, rt2561s, rt2661 and rt73 (which rings a bell, although rt2500 was the driver I used with ndiswrapper originally) [21:34] blahblahx: vmware and gnome-network applet defect. Known issue. [21:34] enterneo, wait a bit [21:34] NoelJB: okay thank you [21:34] XLV: ok [21:34] blahblahx: no worries. I live in VMware. :-) === dan__ is now known as osx5 [21:35] I have ubuntu installed on my computer and I cant it start up, it says "starting up..." and that message wont change. I've tried to Run it from the cd in order to reinstall it and it says: Kernel panic - no syncing: attemped to kill the idle task! I entered a Windows XP CD in order to format the hard drive and I the same message appears [21:35] any way to virtualbox a 64-bit sys [21:36] sovietn001: I think virtualizing 64-bit systems requires a 64-bit host system [21:36] thats what i have [21:36] neverblue: i ran that command, now what, reboot? [21:36] how do i use bind? [21:36] how do you format a hard drive with ubunto? [21:36] ive installed it via synaptic [21:36] Xintruder: I inserted a data dvd, but it wasn't able to read it in ubuntu (and it works with windows). I got the following message: Cannot mount volume: Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'UDF Volume'. [21:36] darklordveynom, no, no need to reboot, this isnt windows :) [21:36] I think virtualbox does x86_64, but I'm not sure. I know qemu and kvm do it [21:36] LOL [21:36] whats the name of the application that resembles the mac dock for linux? [21:37] kiba-dock [21:37] enterneo, i think also it may be a problem of the router.. meaning that if both eth and usb are connected to it, ip addresses on those change [21:37] xiambax, theres several of them.. :) [21:37] I am trying to unzip a file but I get "error: invalid compressed data to inflate" using "unzip file.zip" --- and "CRC Failed" using "7z file.zip". I do not understand what is wrong. None of the files are passworded. This is the second time I have downloaded this .zip and it works for other people. [21:37] xiambax, i wont add tht they all stink. :) [21:37] enterneo, i would suggest buying a 10$ 5port 10/100 switch [21:37] starne: what is kvm? [21:37] enterneo, and not using usb entirely [21:37] XLV: this was the configuration that I have used for over a year now [21:37] madgoldfish, do you have a dir like /sys/module/rt2500 ? [21:37] T1m0thy, use unzip whatever.zip [21:37] darklordveynom, run the xconfig one first, then use the -settings to setup your xorg.conf (use it as: sudo nvidia-settings ) [21:37] truna: the .bin files are the same size in all the directories [21:37] Dr_willis: I said I did.. [21:38] enterneo, and now it doesnt work all of the sudden? [21:38] neverblue: just a moment [21:38] My install is stuck on Configuring apt 82% Scanning the mirror...... [21:38] I have ubuntu installed on my computer and I cant it start up, it says "starting up..." and that message wont change. I've tried to Run it from the cd in order to reinstall it and it says: Kernel panic - no syncing: attemped to kill the idle task! I entered a Windows XP CD in order to format the hard drive and I the same message appears [21:38] T1m0thy, you said you used 7z [21:38] how can i join IRC.IRCHighway.net [21:38] XLV: it is just that I had to go home last week, and had to do pppoeconf to access internet from my laptop [21:38] and a channel within it [21:38] Dr_willis: I said I used both. [21:38] Dr_willis: Please read it again. [21:38] T1m0thy, you could do a 'file whatever.zip' it may be the file is bad. [21:38] Dr_willis: Okay, I'll try... [21:38] truna: I have /sys/module/rt2500usb /sys/module/rt2x00lib and /sys/module/rt2x00usb [21:38] XLV: pppoeconf, automatically configured internet to use eth1 since I was using ethernet cable that time [21:38] Fawkes88, "/server irc.irchighway.net" then "/join #channel". This will disconnect you from this chat. [21:38] that would be the most likely proble,m [21:39] Or its not a zip. [21:39] thanks pricechild [21:39] XLV: when I came back I did sudo apt-get remove --purge pppoeconf, to remove all configuration files created by pppoeconf [21:39] anyone? [21:39] madgoldfish, it looks like it uses the correct drivers, now run dhclient wlan0 and see if it acquires the ip address [21:39] neverblue: i don't see an "xconfig" one [21:39] XLV: but since I have returned this problem has started [21:39] Dr_willis: KALYWAY_LEO_10.5.1intel_SSE2_SSE3.zip: Zip archive data, at least v1.0 to extract --- And I've already downloaded this once before, it did the same thing. It works perfectly fine for other people. [21:39] how do i use bind? ive installed it via synaptic but i don't know what to do now [21:40] exit [21:40] TheEagle: it's not a 2 minute setup [21:40] darklordveynom, did you run that sudo aptitude install command I posted ? [21:40] TheEagle: what do you want to do with it ? [21:40] darklordveynom, sudo aptitude install nvidia-settings nvidia-xorg [21:40] T1m0thy, Interesting. [21:40] neverblue: copied and pasted it exactly [21:40] TheEagle, you should read up on the applications before installing it :) [21:40] make a primary zone "cooga.co.uk" [21:40] neverblue: i can run nvidia-settings, but what do you mean by xconfig? [21:40] darklordveynom, I see my mistake do: sudo aptitude install nvidia-xconfig [21:40] TheEagle: well thats going to be tough as you need 2 dns servers to host a domain [21:40] TheEagle: they must have static IP's [21:41] then run nvidia-xconfig [21:41] T1m0thy, its still possible its a messed up download. I doubt if the site posts a md5sum however. Got a URL to the zip? [21:41] how to install xfi in ubuntu 7.10 64 bits [21:41] why is ubuntu so complicated, windows is much better and quicker [21:41] WHAT [21:41] ikonia: why isnt one enough? [21:41] Dr_willis: I have an md5sum. [21:41] TheEagle: TheEagle ubuntu is not complicated, thats the rules of the internet [21:41] Xintruder: becuase it's not [21:41] truna: I get a bunch of DHCPREQUEST then DHCPDISCOVER lines then: No DHCPOFFERS received [21:41] T1m0thy, md5sum whatever.zip and see if they check out? [21:41] Dr_willis, okay. [21:41] well how comes i can set up a dns server in 5 minutes on windows but on ubuntu its gonna take me ages [21:42] TheEagle: because you don't know how to do it [21:42] The fact that BIND is complex makes ubuntu compicated? [21:42] TheEagle: and because you don't really understand dns [21:42] madgoldfish, are you using some kind of wep or wap for encryption on your AP? btw, is your nic associated with your AP? [21:42] Dr_willis: sorry, i didn't mean ubuntu [21:42] neverblue: i ran the xconfig and it gave me "New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' " which i suppose is good. then i did the nvidia-settings but it only has one entry in the menu list on the left. is that normal? [21:42] what does ubuntu use to set up the sound [21:42] lewix: alsa [21:42] anyone klnows how to fix my problem? [21:42] TheEagle=If you think Ubuntu is complex, try editing the WINDOWS REGISTRY [21:42] TheEagle=Try editing the Windows Registry, and you'll appreciate linux [21:42] :) [21:43] XLV: are you there? [21:43] soviet001: windows registry is easy [21:43] is this command out of date? : sudo apt-get install ttf-arabeyes xfonts-intl-arabic ttf-kacst [21:43] Dr_willis, should this be taking this long to get the md5sum? [21:43] Yes, I'm using WEP. Never had any problems with it before, and I've got the ESSID set up exactly as in 7.04 [21:43] enterneo, i am trying to find some solution wait a bit [21:43] T1m0thy, depends on the size of the zi[ [21:43] i found it as a solution but the post is old [21:43] T1m0thy, depends on the size of the zip [21:43] ubuntu is complex because everything is abstracted [21:43] Xintruder: try it [21:43] XLV: thanks [21:43] Dr_willis, about 3.5 gb. [21:43] Installing System Lockup. "Configuring apt 82% Scanning the mirror" [21:43] T1m0thy, that may take a bit. [21:43] neverblue: after i ran nvidia-settings it gave me : "http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51494/" [21:43] ikonia: warning: /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc does not exist or is not a directory [21:43] Installing System Lockup. "Configuring apt 82% Scanning the mirror" [21:43] some support channel this is, i ask a question and do i get support, no = wft? [21:43] Xintruder: ok, and ? [21:43] trying to figure out if argouml is in a gutsy repo somewhere. anybody know? [21:44] that was the last line, nothing happend after that [21:44] TheEagle: 1.) wtf is not acceptable language 2.) this is ubuntu support not "teach me bind" [21:44] theEagle:wel for us, the registry is more dangerous than the /etc/x11/xorg.conf [21:44] does it mean, it works? [21:44] madgoldfish, if I were you, step back and make it clear and then see if it can connect, 99% of problems are with encrypted connectivity that has not been tested with a connection in the clear first for testing [21:44] I think the ranting has been 10x lines then the original question now. :) [21:44] Xintruder: it means it has executed the commands and is giving you a warning [21:44] Installing System Lockup. "Configuring apt 82% Scanning the mirror" [21:44] ok [21:44] darklordveynom, possibly ask in #nvidia then, hopefully they can help you further ( I personally just used the restricted drivers manager) [21:44] i now have devede. it's asking me what kind of disc i want to create... i want to watch an .avi in a home dvd player... do i choose video dvd or divx/mpeg 4? [21:44] truna: Do I need to make my ESSID visible too? [21:45] video dvd wuld be my guess gvsa123 [21:45] ikonia: I inserted a data dvd, but it wasn't able to read it in ubuntu (and it works with windows). I got the following message: Cannot mount volume: Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'UDF Volume'. no body helped me earlier with this :( [21:45] Installing System Lockup. "Configuring apt 82% Scanning the mirror" [21:45] madgoldfish, dont have to, but if you are just testing, why not make it easy, and step by step make things harder? [21:45] you think you know what to do? [21:45] neverblue: unfortunately the restricted drivers manager hates me for some reason :( [21:45] gvsa123, unless you got a newer dvd player that can read divx movie files [21:45] madgoldfish, common sense isnt it? [21:45] Dr_willis: the dvd burning is not in ubuntu by the way... it's on an xp machine [21:45] Installing System Lockup. "Configuring apt 82% Scanning the mirror" and it has been there for 15 minutes. [21:46] Xintruder: something is passing an invalid mount option for the dvd format [21:46] ShawnEckhart: you said that 25 seconds ago too [21:46] Dr_willis: so i can continue with this project in devede and transfer the file into the xp machine to be burned into a dvd as a movie? [21:46] ikonia: i just double clicked my cdrom. autorun, I did not use command line :/ [21:46] anyone klnows how to fix my problem? [21:46] And it is still locked up. [21:46] I have ubuntu installed on my computer and I cant it start up, it says "starting up..." and that message wont change. I've tried to Run it from the cd in order to reinstall it and it says: Kernel panic - no syncing: attemped to kill the idle task! I entered a Windows XP CD in order to format the hard drive and I the same message appears [21:46] gvsa123, the geration of the various dvd files that get burnt to the disk is the hard part.. the actual burning of the dvd disk is easy. [21:46] Xintruder: no, but ubuntu dos all the work for you [21:46] truna: OK thanks. I'll give it a shot. This machine might get kicked off though. [21:46] Can I just cancel it? [21:46] Aquaman: you can't boot a windows cd either ? [21:46] gvsa123, ive never used that tool. so no idea if it can just gereate the files, or not. [21:47] madgoldfish, well, you must do what you must do .. :) [21:47] ikonia: well, it passed on wrong options now or something man.... [21:47] Aquaman: I suggest your not actually booting from the cd, but your hard disk [21:47] gvsa123, you might be able to make it generate the dvd.iso file which would save a little time also. [21:47] I would LOVE some help with my 2 bluetooth issues. Trying to find a gui software for syncing calendar to a SE k750i. My second issue is my BT headset and skype. Anyone please??? [21:47] Aquaman: as that message would never come up in a window boot [21:47] Dr_willis: i guess i'm gonna have to go and see then [21:47] [ikonia] I can boot it, but it copies some files then restarts so the kernel message appears again [21:47] can I force vsync on my macbook? [21:47] and i can get any further [21:47] Dr_willis: and the iso file is what i transfer to xp and burn into disc? [21:47] Aquaman: which means it's not booting from your primary disk (where the windows files where copied to) [21:48] Dr_willis, where do we send ppl requiring support for nvidia cards? as -effects is no more ? [21:48] gvsa123, that would make simpiler. [21:48] Dr_willis: this will run on a home dvd player... i need to show this movie to my class... argh [21:48] neverblue: depends what they want ? [21:48] neverblue, for compiz? no idea. :) I always disable compiz. [21:48] neverblue: as in what type of support [21:48] ah, i know about #compiz [21:48] Dr_willis: ok thanks.. i'll give it a shot [21:48] quick question - in redhat/fedora i use the system-xxx-xxx and/or redhat-config-xxxx ncurses/text utilties often for things like network config, etc., What are the equivalent utilities for ubuntu (server)? [21:48] Dr_willis: i like audio cd's better... lol [21:48] Where would I find Ghex2? [21:48] tripps: closest is dpkg-reconfigure [21:49] mnemonica: no idea what it is [21:49] ikonia, restricted driver manager isnt working, so support on setting up the drivers/xorg.conf, as nvidia-settings doesnt appear to be working anymore ? [21:49] ikonia: lol... alright. Binary editor of some kind. [21:49] neverblue: you don't need nvidia settings, just dpkg-reoonfigure it [21:49] Dr_willis, how long did you mean by a bit? :S [21:50] T1m0thy, it depends on your cpu.. the md5sum is a bit of a BIG task. on a 4gb file.. its accessing 4gb of data and doing calculatons on it. [21:50] tripps, rather than relying on automated tools, maybe knowing where config files are located is better knowhow? [21:50] Dr_willis: the output video format should be pal or ntsc? sorry i know this is not exactly ubuntu stuff... [21:50] how can i delete user no disable his account but but how can i deleting his account ? [21:50] ikonia, i hated doing it that way, has the RDM taken over for nvidia-settings, as twice today, ppl had the same error running it [21:50] Hiya guys. Im still having problems with the "nvidia" driver. My screen is stuck at 800x600 resolution and 1/2 inch of my screen is black (at the right column) [21:50] Was installing on a system that already had XP. Wanted a dual boot system. It hung there forever so I restarted the computer and now I get "No operating system found". [21:50] neverblue: rdm? [21:50] gvsa123, depends on your tv and wher you live.. USA = NTSC, Other places = no idea. :) [21:50] restricted driver manager [21:50] xzased: what card ? [21:50] neverblue: ahhhh [21:50] alsadk, System->administration->users and group -> user setttings to delete === Xintruder is now known as tester2007 [21:50] ikonia, :P [21:50] I will pay 1 gizillion dollars for help. [21:51] not north america = PAL [21:51] gvsa123, and it looke like by default devede generates a .iso [21:51] ShawnEckhart, thats certainly not enough :) [21:51] ikonia: ok so to reconfig my network settings for example dpkg-reconfigure ? [21:51] Dr_willis: i guess that would be ntsc... thanks again.... [21:51] 2 gizillion [21:51] ShawnEckhart: there is no boot sector on your drive by the sounds of it [21:51] here is my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51496/ its a GeForce420 Go [21:51] genii, i think theres a few other countries that are not pal. :) but i forget where. [21:51] tripps: no idea [21:51] Dr_willis: yes it did... i guess i'll just leave everything with the default [21:51] ikonia, so thats it, just use dpkg-reconfigure ? [21:51] anyone here with knowledge of semaphores and shared memory? [21:51] Dr_willis: Japan for one is also ntsc [21:51] neverblue: best I can offer you [21:51] Kill_X: sure [21:51] If I could get back to windows i would be happy. Wont install from the XP disk. [21:52] but this disable the user account i want to delete his account and files [21:52] ikonia: fine :D [21:52] xzased: what version of the nvidia-glx package did you install [21:52] ShawnEckhart: boot the windows XP disk and use the fixboot options [21:52] ShawnEckhart: from rescue mode [21:52] can you tell me what IPC_NOWAIT exactly does? [21:52] ikonia, we are handling any nvidia/ati questions in that manner than, thanks [21:52] ikonia: How can I check it? [21:52] I can't get to rescue mode [21:52] xzased: dpkg - l | grep -i nvidia [21:52] xzased: or jsut look in synaptic [21:53] My biggest fear is for you to tell me I am screwed. [21:53] anyone get ipod touch to sync to amarok via usb cable ? (wifi is tooo slow to be useful) [21:53] how do i go about safetly removing usb devices on ubuntu? [21:53] Kill_X: IPC_NOWAIT from the top of my head no idea, but I'd guess it's don't wait for IPC clean up [21:53] I'll check, meanwhile here is my xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51498/ [21:53] hi, i want to put my /home directory on a different partition, how would i do this? [21:53] makuseru, new install ? [21:53] ShawnEckhart: why can't you get into rescue mode [21:53] ikonia: ubuntu did not do it all for me, infact it did nothing but this message for in my case... === ihavenoname is now known as NewUser [21:53] tester2007: ubuntu did not do what ? [21:54] makuseru, create the partition first then copy it over there? [21:54] I am going to try it again. Get a error message of a blue screen. Can't remember the exact message. [21:54] IMHO it would be good to have ncurses equivalents to the gui config apps in ubuntu ala redhat and have a similarly standardized convention, e.g., config-network config-firewall config-dns config-whatever, etc. [21:54] I inserted a data dvd, but it wasn't able to read it (and it works with windows). I got the following message: Cannot mount volume: Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'UDF Volume'. what should I do? [21:54] tripps: there are not those tools - so no point giving your humble opinion [21:54] ikonia: The version is 1:96.43.01+2.6.22-14 [21:54] xzased: what is the version of the package installed [21:54] makuseru, then maybe temporarily modify the /etc/passwd to point to that dir/partitions as the home dir.. [21:54] ikonia: that's what I figured... But I don't get it, why a simple shm test with 2 programs (a sender and a receiver) fails, if the IPC_NOWAIT flag is set in one of them... [21:55] kyle_: if hard drives/storage, do: sudo sync; (sudo) umount /mountpoint-of-thing; (sudo) eject /dev/devnameofthing [21:55] Dr_willis, I'm reading that I might have to use winRAR to extract this.. does this mean it is impossible on Linux? [21:55] truna: what ?/? [21:55] it's my phone genii [21:55] ikonia he wants to move his /home to another partition [21:55] ikonia: perhaps i'll write them . . . even if they're simply ncurses/tcl wrap arounds existing utilities for example [21:55] kyle_: Then no worries just unplug it [21:55] truna: yea, so changing /etc/passwd is crazy [21:55] T1m0thy: sudo apt-get install unrar && unrar x [21:55] ahh k =] [21:55] Kill_X: without more investication I've no idea [21:55] Kill_X: certainly sounds wrong [21:55] T1m0thy: the gui archiver will use it automaticly [21:55] ikonia not if he has a few users...pointing the home dir to those.. [21:56] rexy: It's a .zip [21:56] If i have a drive XP, and a drive VISTA, where vista has 25 gb space, will ubuntu be able to install on the Vista drive in the spare part [21:56] truna: he just has to mount the new partition - nothing more [21:56] T1m0thy: sudo apt-cache search zip, it's called gunzip or unzip or something [21:56] Dr_willis: okay... it says it's creating the iso... home dvd players are able to play iso files right? [21:56] hi [21:56] ikonia, he has to juggle things a bit, old /home to new partition/home [21:56] Sarkie: should be fine, 25 gig is a lot [21:56] sarkie: yes it should [21:56] think gzip will unzip it too [21:56] truna: mouont partition, copy, change fstab boot [21:56] how do i install the uberscript for xchat ? [21:57] Hi all, I know this isn't technically the right channel for this, but does anyone know how to enable XGL/compiz in Xubuntu 7.10? [21:57] yeah ikedaman and mahout: I just wanted to make sure it'd move all the data and such, and leave me with a triple boot [21:57] matttis: this is not xchat support - join #xchat [21:57] ikonia: I could send you the sample, but I think that's kind of unsafe :S [21:57] ikonia thats another way, thats nice about linux, so many ways..hehe [21:57] anyone that can help me with my bluetooth syncing issue please? [21:57] ikonia: It only gives me these numers under version: [21:57] 1:96.43.01+2.6.22-14 [21:57] ikonia: youre wrong [21:57] rexy: gzip: KALYWAY_LEO_10.5.1intel_SSE2_SSE3.zip: unknown suffix -- ignored [21:57] Kill_X: sounds a tad odd [21:57] matttis: about what ? [21:57] matttis, ask in #xchat please [21:57] hello! Where can I get a nice up-to-date source for networking w/ ubuntu? [21:57] T1m0thy: get unzip or whatever it's called then or rename it to .gz [21:58] !networking |pmratpoison [21:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about networking - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:58] rexy: Are you sure simply renaming it will be fine? [21:58] ikonia: nothing, ill try the chan [21:58] anyone? [21:58] ikonia: I know... I could upload the sources to my webspace and give you the link? all three of them C-Sources... [21:58] matttis: what are you talking about "I'm wrong" [21:58] pmratpoison, what does that mean, up-to-date source? source code for tcp/ip stack? [21:58] Kill_X: I can have a look, it won't be tonight though [21:58] ikonia, let it go :) [21:58] neverblue: let what go, have I missed something ? [21:58] truna: no nothing that fancy, I just wanna learn about unix networking [21:58] I don't follow [21:58] truna: :) [21:59] ikonia: k, need it tonight, but thank you a lot, anyway :) [21:59] Kill_X: one moment [21:59] perhaps I should have been more clear [21:59] All I get is just a blue screen with *** STOP: oxooooooo7b A problem has been detected and your computer has been shut down to prevent damage. [21:59] ikonia: just forget it [21:59] rexy, gzip: KALYWAY_LEO_10.5.1intel_SSE2_SSE3.gz has more than one entry -- unchanged [21:59] greetings and salutations... [21:59] ah nevermind [21:59] I got it [21:59] pmratpoison, most llinux tutorials on networking are faily easy read..google ? [21:59] hello [21:59] T1m0thy: err that's correct even since it's multiple files, try installing gunzip [22:00] Kill_X: rats, I thought I had someone who would look at it now for you, but he's busy too [22:00] pmratpoison, hang on, let me look at the link i use... [22:00] Kill_X: sorry [22:00] think you should be able to extract it with tar xvfz though, afaik it's the same stuff [22:00] truna: Still not connecting even with encryption off and ESSID broadcast on :-( [22:00] ikonia: under nvidia-settings, the driver is 96.43.01 [22:00] rexy, I believe gzip is the same as gunzip. [22:01] yeah ikedaman and mahout: Does it move the data on the disk to make sure there is enough space? [22:01] rexy, I get the same output. [22:01] Could I have messed it up with the partition that Ubuntu made in the install? [22:01] pmratpoison, http://linux-ip.net/html/index.html is a good one [22:01] how do i make apt-get not tell me to insert the cd every time when i want to install something ? [22:01] truna: thnx [22:01] xzased: please do dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia and tell me if the package is nvidia-glx, nvidia-glx-new or nvidia-glx-legacy [22:01] truna: I'm not getting the following message: Error for wireless request "Set Nickname" (8B1C) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported [22:01] T1m0thy: unzip [22:01] ikonia: no problem, it runs without that flag, that's enough, my professor will not want to see more ^^ [22:01] but this disable the user account i want to delete his account and files [22:01] madgoldfis1, once more, does iwconfig tell you your nic is associated?

[22:02] xzased: you want the older drivers [22:02] tuntap: remove the cdrom source line from /etc/apt/sources.list [22:02] Could the partition have been messed up? [22:02] XLV: :( [22:02] well there is no such entry [22:02] ShawnEckhart: most likley you've lost your boot sector [22:03] truna: thnx [22:03] Can it be fixed?

[22:03] ikonia: How can I enable glx on the older ones. I cant use opengl with those [22:03] ShawnEckhart: yes, boot from a windows XP cd and use the fixboot options [22:03] ikonia you are quick..you have a speech to text kind of thing on your machine? [22:03] truna: It's saying not-associated :-( [22:03] xzased: who said that ? [22:03] whats the pastebin ?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [22:03] madgoldfis1, well i have been asking you that for ages..thats an essential step, associate [22:04] ok 1 minute [22:04] has anyone come across libutempter.so.0 ? what is it part of, i can't seem to find it in aptitude search [22:04] When I install them glxinfo states "missing glx on screen" [22:04] But the windows install disk dosent work either. I get the blue screen of death. [22:04] ccoffey: thats a lib you won't find it as a package [22:04] truna: Sorry. Didn't realise that was in iwconfig :-( [22:04] How do I access settings for the Phosphor Screensaver? [22:04] ShawnEckhart: then something is wrong with your hardware [22:04] !find libutempter.so.0 | ccoffey [22:04] ShawnEckhart: check the error message [22:04] ccoffey: Package/file libutempter.so.0 does not exist in gutsy [22:04] ok i found cdrom sorry [22:05] I went into ScreenSaver PReferences, but when I select Phosphor , do not see any additional settings that can be configured anywhere [22:05] nickrud: hmmm [22:05] madgoldfis1, see how strong the signals are and quality via iwlist wlan0 scan and look at your AP essid [22:05] ccoffey: it's a wtmp helper package [22:06] ccoffey: llvm-cfe has libutempter.a , so I'd guess you would search in that direction [22:06] ccoffey: I should say it's a library that belongs to a utmp helper [22:06] madgoldfis1, furthermore, is your intention to have the wireless and ethernet connected to same router from same pc? [22:06] anyone know how to completely disable all the screensaver/monitor power off? [22:06] i've disabled dpms in my bios [22:06] apci [22:07] ... i'm on a htpc [22:07] turno, if we dont know, have you google for hints on those? [22:07] truna: signal level: -43 dBm (and 4 bars when I just loaded up wifi-radar) [22:07] i'm not exactly sure whats turning my screen off [22:07] ikonia: i've a feeling libtaglib2.0-cil might sort it, checking that path now [22:07] truna: No ethernet connection on that pc, wireless only, unless I get a network card :-( [22:07] Pir8: gnome-screensaver is brain dead, you would have to manually add options in /usr/share/applications/screensavers/*desktop [22:07] see this bitch [22:08] http://en.thisbitch.info/?id=b26a61adc95f5693406ea7b33657e916 [22:08] ccoffey: thats another library [22:08] the 'screensaver' is set to two hours, and i turned off powermamagement in my bios [22:08] ikonia: well aware what a library is [22:08] when i vnc in and navigate, the screen stays off [22:08] XLV: I am sure pppoeconf has manupulated some config file, which is still there and reverting all changes we are making [22:09] but if i hit a key on the keyboard, it comes back on [22:09] madgoldfis1, looks okay at -43dbm..kinda strong me thinks..see if you detect your neighbors AP too, and associate with his..just for testing [22:09] ccoffey: you can search for packages that contain particular files on packages.ubuntu.com [22:10] enterneo, well, try looking into /etc/network/if-up.d directory and see what files are in there, check if you have some firewall on the laptop running ( use firestarter to see ) etc [22:10] my ubuntu gusty machine won't mount a win32 format (not sure if its fat32 or ntfs) external usb drive. it shows up as connected by dmesg. any ideas? [22:10] why is flash still broken... can't someone upload a new package with the updated checksum? [22:10] enterneo: pppoeconfig creates/modifies stuff in /etc/chat and /etc/ppp/peers [22:11] Nuke_: it's not just checksums [22:11] enterneo: and pap-secrets in /etc/ppp as well (passwords) [22:11] Nuke_, doing that would break konqueror. Read the launchpad bug report for more info [22:11] truna: Only one neighbour is not encrypted - No DHCPOFFER on that either [22:11] nickrud: thank you === cnadevelop is now known as kthakore [22:12] madgoldfis1, stealing neighbour's internet is bad. And by the way that could be due to mac filtering or low signal. [22:12] hey does any one know how to do voice chat through aim on ubuntu [22:12] any ideas as to why an external drive won't mount?

[22:44] truna: i ran the list, it says invalid option and some other useless stuff [22:45] truna: i assume it means it cant find ne thing there [22:45] <__SchmRz_> I tried to uprade libc6 and it told me that i need to close some certain programs before i proceed. I did not care. So, while upgrading, libc6 got broken... In order to fix it i needed to delete a bunch of packages: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51506/ [22:45] mahout what list? [22:45] Does anybody have an idea "How to autostart Knetworkmanager " [22:45] fdisk -l/dev/sdb [22:45] ShawnEckhart: ouch, you never mentioned that. You did an ubuntu install, but it won't boot at all? [22:45] mahout, you are forgetting space between -l and /dev [22:45] I've just installed ndiswrapper and got everything working, but I can't seem to make the module load on startup (I have run ndiswrapper -m and it doesn't work) [22:45] mahout: ou have to watch for spaces [22:45] any ideas?

[22:46] sukasuka: no [22:46] bjames, but it always work if you load ndiswrapper manually? [22:46] <__SchmRz_> ikonia, i tried to updatee libc6 [22:46] yes [22:46] ShawnEckhart: you mentioned this earlier [22:46] ShawnEckhart: you where told the situation [22:46] modprobe ndiswrapper works [22:46] nickrud: i tried and it gave a long list of stuff about mounting i have yet to read as i have been going through this stuff from truna, which btw it says it cant open [22:46] __SchmRz_: that is not a good idea [22:46] ndiswrapper -m does nothing [22:47] sukasuka:: pay for faster speeds at your isp [22:47] sukasuka, we may know of some that slows it down... :) [22:47] mahout: put up the error, truna would probably like to see it as weel [22:47] *well [22:47] well, I say it does nothing, if I do it more than once it tells me the configuration data has already been written [22:47] truna:: heh [22:47] <__SchmRz_> ikonia, well how do i return my system to it's previous state [22:47] __SchmRz_: how did you try to update ?

[22:48] ShawnEckhart: you can't install, you can't use the ubuntu cd and you can't use the windows cd - you get blue screens, sounds like a hardware error [22:48] mahout: you need to use sudo with fdisk [22:49] Hi all, anybody can give me a hand with NTFS + samba+ charset? [22:49] Does anybody here have the cube on 2 monitors? [22:49] <__SchmRz_> ikonia: packages.ubuntu.com [22:49] __SchmRz_: how - there is no glibc update for 7.10 [22:49] __SchmRz_: so you sudo dpkg -i 'd it? [22:50] <__SchmRz_> ikonia:i followed dependicies and got there [22:50] <__SchmRz_> yes [22:50] <__SchmRz_> ikonia: yes [22:50] __SchmRz_: what dependencies, there is no update for ubuntu 7.10 [22:50] turno, i dont know myself, but have you googled for this topic? you may get lucky there [22:50] ninkrud and truna: sudo fdisk found it fine ill paste bin what it came up with, one sec [22:50] i have tried google [22:50] mahout these system command require root access, so prefix it with sudo, okay? [22:51] <__SchmRz_> ikonia: i'm using 6.06 i tried to use mysql api but i needed libc6 (not the ubuntu version i think it was something like 2.7) [22:51] <__SchmRz_> ikonia: mysql api for c [22:51] mahout: so try: sudo mkdir /mnt/ozgood ; sudo mount /dev/sdb1 -text3 /mnt/ozgood <-- pay attention to the spaces [22:51] __SchmRz_: what are you talking about - if you didn't need the ubuntu version why are you using the version from ubuntu ? [22:51] Hello. Does Anybody have an idea how to autostart Knetworkmanager [22:51] __SchmRz_: what version of glibc are you trying to drop in ? [22:51] turno, one tutorial i saw suggest removing compiz (assuming you are not using compiz) [22:51] truna and nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51507/ [22:51] !autostart | ibm_ [22:51] ibm_: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab.

The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory. [22:52] mahout: see line to you just above, try that one. [22:52] <__SchmRz_> ikonia: i tried to instal libc6 i think 2.7 (that is what mysql api is looking for) [22:52] mahout: just copy and paste it [22:52] __SchmRz_: then you have broke your system [22:52] mahout, this /dev/sdb is a brand new hard disk? did you put a file system on it yet? [22:52] Hello. Does Anybody have an idea ,autostart Knetworkmanager%C4 [22:52] <__SchmRz_> ikonia: yes, i knowM but how do i fix it [22:53] I'm losing my mind.. I can't remember the name of the gadgets/widgets desktop application... the beta one in development, not stable [22:53] __SchmRz_: the version of mysql supplied with ubuntu 6.06 will depend on the libc library package with ubuntu - nothing else [22:53] ibm_: I just told you how [22:53] __SchmRz_: I'd suggest you do a complete re-install [22:53] truna: i formated to ext3 [22:53] Flare183:: heh, i think they want you to do it for them :\ [22:53] <__SchmRz_> ikonia: not mysql... mysql development package [22:53] bastid_raZor: wow ubeliveable* [22:53] mahout formating is different from making a file system on it, mk3efs i believe [22:53] __SchmRz_: ok, the mysql development package for ubuntu 6.06 should depend on the libc package supplied with ubuntu 6.06 [22:53] nickrud: if the next line terminal enters to is blank do i assume it worked or failed? [22:54] <__SchmRz_> ikonia: i know, but i does not. [22:54] Flare183:: yeah.. some people need to learn how to do things on their own.. USE GOOGLE retards [22:54] __SchmRz_: I disagree [22:54] mahout: should have succeeded. ls /mnt/ozgood [22:54] mahout, worked unless it says otherwise [22:54] <__SchmRz_> ikonia: can you please help me fix my system [22:54] <__SchmRz_> ikonia: how do install all those packages again [22:54] bastid_raZor: yeah I know [22:54] __SchmRz_: just how many packages did you dpkg -i ? [22:54] __SchmRz_: I would suggest you do a re-install of ubuntu because of how critical libc is [22:54] nickrud: doen't matter the deps for glibc and glic is't self are critical === noel__ is now known as NoelJB [22:55] I was at least able to copy all my work files onto a flash drive from the folder where windows is installed. [22:55] nickrud: where would i find it now that its mounted, under places? [22:55] Thanks for trying anyway. [22:55] ikonia: I've downgraded libc6 before, it's worth a try [22:55] mahout:: df -h will show you mounted drives [22:55] nickrud: your call, I'd never do it, but then again I'd never upgrade something I new nothing about [22:55] mahout: file system, the /mnt/ozgood [22:55] <__SchmRz_> ikonia: is there any other way? did u see the package list i needed to delete? [22:55] mahout formating is different from making a file system on it, mkfs.ext3 <-- i just checked [22:55] Be glad when windows is a think of the past. [22:56] ikonia: true. If it works he avoids having to reinstall, if it doesn't he does reinstall. It's a 5 minute procedure [22:56] nickrud: I wouldn't trust it even if it appears to work [22:56] ikonia: you don't trust dpkg ;0 [22:56] nickrud: glibc is too cricitical [22:56] nickrud: no - as upgrading glibc could have broke dpkg [22:56] nickrud: ihe's mixed the wrong versions together [22:56] <__SchmRz_> ikonia: is there any other way? did u see the package list i needed to delete? [22:57] __SchmRz_: I saw the list yes, and I'm telling you my opinion I would never try to upgrade / downgrade I do not have faith in it [22:57] __SchmRz_: nickrud has a slightly different opinion [22:57] if theres a question about it At All, id say re-install is a good choice. but then again, ive only been a user for 3 yrs, soooo.... take that how you will [22:58] um, quik question- should we run the newest updates, then? [22:58] __SchmRz_: what package list did you install, that will determine my final opinion [22:58] ilikebuntu000: run the updates ubuntu offers you [22:58] then ones that upgrade libc ? i take it , NO? [22:58] ilikebuntu000:: i've updated my system.. everything is running fine [22:58] ilikebuntu000: if ubuntu offers it - use it [22:58] <__SchmRz_> nickrud: i posted it on paste bin [22:58] fawaka broeders [22:59] a very good piece of advice. I personally have not one single 3d party resource, pure ubuntu. I want stability === neatchee_ is now known as Neatchee [22:59] rly? the ones up at the top thru the auto???? WELL- it says the updates were non-authenticated?? so I figured maybe id wait till they updated the update, =) [22:59] __SchmRz_: I don't have the link [22:59] allesgoed [22:59] Using gnome is there a way to color files (like in OS X)? [22:59] <__SchmRz_> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51506 [23:00] I came here because although sid is thoroughly enjoyable, I got tired of upgrade/downgrade/pin/hold , 10 or so hours a week of maintenance [23:00] nickrud: gcc libs too [23:00] nickrud: I'm not messing with that [23:00] ikonia: yeeeehahhh [23:00] Patogen > i dont think unix uses user flags. You could assign it a different ownership? but that would change perms. etc. you could give it a diff icon? make icons for your meanings? [23:01] <__SchmRz_> nickrud: any hope for me? [23:01] Patogen, color files? you meant when listing the directory different color for the type of files? [23:01] __SchmRz_: I'm with ikonia on this, unless you can give me a precise list of what you downloaded and installed. What's calling for being uninstalled doesn't matter [23:01] i know what u mean too . the "hot" , "cool" "project" selections on mac [23:01] i use thos all day. [23:01] Patogen: emblems are similar [23:01] truna: Well for tv-series on the mac I used to color the ones I've seen with red so I know where I am [23:02] can i resize lots of images at once? [23:02] Hmm emblems could work :) [23:02] SpaminaCan: sounds like a job for imagemagik [23:02] jus nest a folder and drag n drop them into it . call it, "watched_already" [23:02] ilikebuntu000: I don't like that approach ;-) [23:02] Patogen, i never used an OS X so am trying to comprehend..ahh theres a suggestion by jrib [23:02] how do i install (if its not installed) and use this imagemagik [23:02] =p [23:02] emblems will work I guess :) [23:03] SpaminaCan: install it using your package manager. A google search for "imagemagick documentation" will get you started with using it [23:03] SpaminaCan: sorry.. they spell it correctly.. it's hard to know how to spell software these days.. *shakes fist at kde*... imagemagick .. it's a console based image manipulation program.. or rather many small programs.. === none is now known as speeddemon8803 [23:03] <__SchmRz_> nickrud: first i got mysql development package for c (i could not install it from synaptic (404 file not found) so i copied the name in google and got some results. Clicked on the first result. Saw libc6 in dependicies. Clicked on it. Downloaded it. Tryed to upgrade to it. Broke my system.) [23:03] Patogen: I like the color backgrounds too, I'm curious if anyone is working on it [23:03] nickrud: hi!! How are you today? [23:04] jrib: Hehe it's sweet yeah :) [23:04] how come ive asked this question, files a bug, and lots more, how come i keep getting mouse out of sync in my dmesg no one has offered help [23:04] i ahve a touch pad and this problem does not happen in 7.04 [23:04] have* [23:04] __SchmRz_: So you only installed libc6 and or libc6-dev, but where from exactly? [23:04] nickrud: he's done more [23:04] <__SchmRz_> i just wrote you... [23:05] my dmesg is filled with lots of [21601.204000] psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost sync at byte 1 [23:05] bobby_: how are you? Did you get that drive?

Same thing for the ghex2 command. Any ideas as to what's wrong? [23:05] SpaminaCan: I have no idea... if you've reported this bug to launchpad you can see whos [23:06] ikonia: those are all dev libs that want to be removed, and depend on libc6-dev. Provisionally I'm assuming that the need to remove an incorrect libc6-dev is causing all that [23:06] <__SchmRz_> nickrud: that is exactly what i did [23:06] slart no one has looked at my bug..., and i filed it right after 7.10 was released..... [23:06] SpaminaCan: I have no idea... if you've reported this bug to launchpad you can see who's working on it.. or you could try to fix it yourself.. or pay someone to fix it.. there are many possibilities [23:06] is there a program I can use that doesn't take long to set up that will let me stream my sound output across the network? [23:06] nickrud: excellent spot [23:06] __SchmRz_: got some results. Clicked on the first result. Saw libc6 in dependicies. Clicked on it. Downloaded it .

[23:09] astro76: Everything should be default. [23:09] SpaminaCan: well.. there's not a lot you can do then.. you can try to make it easy to fix.. find out what computers are affected, on what version of ubuntu it is broken.. gather info and put it all together.. that makes it easier to fix later on [23:09] mnemonica: what does 'sudo updatedb && locate animation.xml' tell you? [23:09] <__SchmRz_> nickrud: dependicies of mysql development package [23:09] Patogen: Install the build-essential package.

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) [23:18] rowdy:: that will give you the PID for you to use kill -9 on [23:18] xzased: is it supported on your card/driver [23:18] i need a way to install ubuntu gusty from the install CD without loading the GUI during the install [23:18] sven_: you don't have that menu option?

My resolution was messed up but the glx worked great [23:19] rowdy:: i don't see 'id' under cpu. where are you seeing this? [23:19] Im having problems connecting to the internet using my wusb54g ver. 4 on my new hp laptop that has built-in broadcom wifi, maybe there's some conflict between the two cards? when I first installed it it worked fine, now it doesnt work at all [23:19] rowdy:: oh i see it .. i'm blind [23:19] xzased: did you reconfigure your display to have the correct resolution [23:20] bastid_raZor: :) [23:20] oh, I think he realized just how screwed he was [23:20] i am trying to partition why drives with cfdisk and i have a boot flag problem, when i try to put it on the windows partition it wont work, and when i put it on a linux partition it wont work either, and when i put it on both that won't work, what do i do? :S [23:20] my* [23:20] nickrud: I don't see him talking [23:20] ikonia: he left [23:20] bobby_: is it /dev/sda1 ? the one mounted in /media/disk? [23:20] oh [23:20] nickrud: he wasn't telling the whole truth anyway [23:20] the format of the fstab has changed in feisty. is there a way to generate a uuid for a file [23:21] rowdy:: man top .. it is listed there. [23:21] ikonia: it finally came out: __SchmRz_> nickrud: i added a lot of repos to sources.list [23:21] Slart: yes it is... [23:21] nickrud: I know......waste of time [23:21] Are there ways to get hibernate/suspend to work? can anyone point me to some links? [23:21] senorbagofcrap: for a file?.. you can get the uuid for a drive .. might have been by using lshw.. or some other way [23:21] well, he couldnt understand sarcasm either ;) [23:22] ikonia: I've done it a few times, including libc6. It's recoverable, and there's a lot of learning along the way [23:22] ?? [23:22] ikonia: With the legacy driver the resolution works well out of the box, its just the glx not working. With the "nvidia driver, the resolution got stuck at 800x600, I tried to modify my xorg.conf file but nothing worked.... and it confused the crt-out port of my laptop with the lcd screen. [23:22] ikonia: fun, with people who are forthright [23:22] bobby_: it's mounted as type fuseblk.. I don't really know what that is.. haven't used it myself.. [23:22] * nickrud points to bobby_ as an example [23:22] xzased: thats a tough balancing act [23:23] rowdy:: i'm looking, actually.. and i don't see id in the man.. i see all the other options listed for CPU though [23:23] ikonia: it sure is [23:23] bastid_raZor: I cant find it in the man page. Can you tell what section you found it under [23:23] Slart: i don't even know what that is either.. lol [23:23] * bastid_raZor grins [23:23] bobby_: or rather.. I know that it's a user space file system thingy.. but I don't know how to convince it to become rw instead of just read only.. [23:23] does anybody have any experience with dualbooting windows using cfdisk? [23:23] ok bastid_raZor, the reason why I am asking is coz, my id always shows 100% [23:23] the fsat format has changed, I do not have xserver running to use the graphical tools so I can mount the ntfs drive to get the nvidia driver [23:23] bastid_raZor: Cpu(s): 0.0%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni,100.0%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st [23:24] Slart: well.. is there a way just to reformat it... so i can copy my files to it? [23:24] does that mean that my cpu is under heavy load? [23:24] rowdy:: mine is all over the place.. [23:24] rowdy: no [23:24] I installed ubuntu 7.10 and it hangs when booting at a black screen right after the splash screen [23:24] is there any avahi/bonjour client for xp/vista/windows (mdns, in particular) [23:24] bobby_: well.. with linux.. there's almost always "a way".. that way may require you to be a senior programming guru and hardware expert.. but still..there is a always a way =) [23:24] what does that mean? why is it 100% [23:25] rowdy:: but i'm abusing my computer atm.. so i wouldn't be surprised to see any stats at or near 100 [23:25] im trying to add a line to /etc/fstab and im told that i dont have the proper permission i was wondering if someone could help me [23:25] rowdy: I wasn't going to tell you as you always come in here for "linux" help [23:25] rowdy: it's idle [23:25] heres the link for what im trying to add http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51512/ [23:25] how hard can it be to get MP3s working? [23:25] Slart: lol! well that is always great news! :D [23:25] bobby_: of you look at the drive using gnome partition editor.. do you see what kind of drive it is? [23:25] Slart: LOL true. It's all 1's and 0's in the end. [23:25] Can someone suggest a simple desktop database?

(I'm asking in #ndiswrapper as well - silence) [23:43] cwillu: one sec [23:43] np [23:43] toastguy I know, I know lol I feel you, it used to be easier with the previous ubuntu release to do all of this, on my other computer things just seemed to work, but on my new laptop it is not so [23:43] cwillu: there are a thousand items here [23:43] cwillu: if I search "gstream" will that narrow it okay? [23:43] ToastGuy, yep [23:43] cwillu: k [23:43] intel 1500 mhz 512mb ram : boot from CD , select installation ->>> Error I/O reboot. why???? [23:44] ubuntu gutsy [23:44] ToastGuy, there's a ton of them, look for that exact name if you can [23:44] toastguy just be paitient the problem is probably some little stupid thing that can easily be overlooked since they are like 5 different ways to fix a problem in linux [23:44] Hi, on a debian system we have at my school, there is a program for terminal, not requiring gui. It's to set startup (1-6?) status of scripts. Single User, Recovery, etc. I recall sys debconf, but not sure exactly what it is. [23:44] cwillu: ok [23:45] ToastGuy, find it? [23:45] nothing? [23:45] cwillu: no green [23:45] none loves me [23:45] esteveryt: First try F6 then add noapic to the boot line.. also.. at what speed did you burn the iso? [23:45] Slart: ok... done... unplugged and plugged back in... and working.. [23:45] ToastGuy, okay, click it, tell it to install [23:45] cwillu: so not installed. where do I go from here [23:45] Jack_Sparrow: 10x [23:45] bobby_: nice [23:45] ToastGuy, (mark for installation) [23:45] cwillu: I can MARK IT [23:45] cwillu: right [23:45] Slart: but... :\ [23:45] ToastGuy, it'll say that it wants to mark a bunch of other packages (this is a good thing) [23:46] cwillu: now it has an arrow ready for installation [23:46] Jack_Sparrow: max speed for rw cd [23:46] cwillu: i figured.. okay [23:46] esteveryt: that should be slow enough.. May I assume you did the self test for errors [23:46] ToastGuy, okay [23:46] cwillu: ok [23:46] ToastGuy, okay, hit apply [23:46] cwillu: AHHHHH that's what I missed [23:46] Slart: tried to copy.... and it says "You do not have permissions to write to this folder" :\ [23:46] ToastGuy, :) [23:46] Jack_Sparrow: which self test? the same that you have in the boot? yes i did. same error.. loading kernel .... ERROR I/O [23:46] cwillu: Okay now it's downloading those packages [23:46] Quick question: why do some pages have question marks all over the place? is it my font settings? [23:46] I want to adjust my screensaver. I can't find a way to do it. I am using "phosphor" and I want to have it print the output of a console command. Help please! [23:47] ToastGuy, good [23:47] bobby_: ok.. it's still mounted at /media/disk ? [23:47] cwillu: while it loads, what's the difference between Good Bad Ugly? [23:47] Slart: let me check... [23:47] is there some option in ubuntu to forward ports?

[23:48] cwillu: I can appreciate a little programming humor... but it doesn't seem to mean anything [23:48] ToastGuy, ugly are the plugins which aren't speech-free, but are usually freelydownloadable (mp3's for instance have a patent on them) [23:48] esteveryt: Some hardware, especially people with ati video cards have better luck with the alternate cd but try F6 at start or install and type noapic just before the -- [23:48] cwillu: ok moving on.... Installed? === _[PUPPETS]Gonzo is now known as [PUPPETS]Gonzo [23:48] does anyone know? [23:48] bobby_: can you pastebin /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab again? [23:48] ToastGuy, bad plugins are exactly what they say, they work, but not really well [23:48] diffreal: Any progress? [23:48] ToastGuy, although they won't generally actually crash anything [23:49] yes... [23:49] ToastGuy, if you run into movies you can't play, you'll probably need to install -ugly-multiverse, and -bad and -bad-multiverse [23:49] cwillu: and good ones are totally free speach [23:49] ToastGuy, but for mp3's, I _think_ that just -ugly is enough [23:49] anyone know where pidgin logs are saved? [23:49] ToastGuy, exactly [23:49] cwillu: okay i follow [23:49] cwillu: that's why all the geeks are up in arms for Ron Paul [23:50] Jack_Sparrow: ok i'm going to try noapic before the -- . i was thinking to download ubuntu feisty and then upgrade. i think that with feisty i should not have any problems. [23:50] !offtopic [23:50] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [23:50] ToastGuy, in the later ubuntu editions, all of the packages are installed when you install a single 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package, which is quite handy [23:50] ToastGuy, :) [23:50] can anyone tell me how I can get ubuntu to play http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/realplayer/media/fmg2.ram BBC Radio 4 [23:50] can someone verify on a gutsy install if nxclient is a stock install? i seemed to have deleted mine and now can not add it as it is not in the repository <--someone check please [23:50] ToastGuy, I'm gonna bug you about this one last time ( :p ); 7.10 (the latest) didn't work, do you remember where it broke exactly?

I just did the f to g upgrade..ugh.. 6 hours [23:50] ToastGuy, if that's done, you should be able to double click and mp3 now [23:50] ToastGuy, but make sure you have any players closed [23:50] cwillu: Ya It broke because I don't think I had the right hardware... [23:50] OR [23:50] I want to adjust my screensaver. I can't find a way to do it. I am using "phosphor" and I want to have it print the output of a console command. Help please! [23:51] ToastGuy, black-screen-style problems? [23:51] cwillu: I was trying to install it with a Windows as a separate partition i think [23:51] cwillu: just an error [23:51] ToastGuy, resizing the partition or something? [23:51] Slart: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51513/ [23:51] cwillu: nah.... I don't think it was that [23:51] I want to try installing it again... [23:51] it looked much nicer [23:52] ToastGuy, did you install dapper with windows still on it as well? (i.e., not replacing windows completely?) [23:52] cwillu: I think I got as far as it trying to load... I could see some GUI [23:52] cwillu: but it would fail on something [23:52] ader10 pipe the output of the cli command like so comman1 > file.txt [23:52] ToastGuy, loading the cd, or actually done the install and booting without the cd?

I can't find a way to do it. I am using "phosphor" and I want to have it print the output of a console command. Help please!" [23:53] Jack_Sparrow: nothing so strange.. intel 1500 mhz, 512mb ram, ati radeon 9600 [23:53] truna: I'd like the screensaver to output the printed text.

[23:53] Jack_Sparrow: ati video card :| :| [23:54] ToastGuy, okay; there's an 'alternate' cd for 7.10; the installer doesn't look as pretty, but it pretty much always works even if the live cd has problems; if you're ever in the mood to try again, I'd try that cd (alternate) [23:54] esteveryt: before you dl again... burn a copy at 4x [23:54] bobby_: try running this command and then try again "sudo chmod a+rw -R /media/disk" [23:54] ToastGuy, try playing an mp3 [23:54] bobby_: sorry... my bad [23:54] ToastGuy, should work now [23:54] I have a script named backup under /etc/cron.daily You can view the contents at http://rafb.net/p/4o6gxY67.html. I can run the script manually just fine, but it doesn't seem to run at all otherwise. Any suggestions on why? [23:54] ToastGuy, you did the apply thing already, it said "downloading packages", etc? [23:54] Jack_Sparrow: i try : noapic , burn @ 4x & alternate cd. right? [23:54] warriorforgod, I'll take a look [23:54] Slart: ok.. just did... try to copy now?

[23:55] ToastGuy, okay, ya, try playing an mp3 now [23:55] cwillu: /etc/cron.daily/backup [23:55] esteveryt: Try reburning the rw you have from the iso you have.. but very slow [23:55] warriorforgod, no sudo or anything? [23:55] I can run it with and without sudo just fine. [23:55] ToastGuy: what graphics card? [23:55] ToastGuy, was it already closed?
