[00:00] ToastGuy: glad to hear it. [00:00] NoelJB, -> ToastGuy :p [00:00] Slart: ok... cool!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!! it's copying now!! :D [00:01] 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! [00:02] Jack_Sparrow: i'm going to sell drugs while it's burning [00:02] ader10, you just ran into a political problem :/ [00:02] Strangework: you could also try fcitx, xcin, gcin [00:02] ader10, disagreement on how screensavers should be configured [00:02] anyone know what it means when i cant use any visual effects at all and it says 'The composite extension is not available' ? [00:02] schnoowork, what video card? [00:02] cwillu: You mean gnome devs think you shouldn't be able to configure s... right? [00:02] What's up NoelJB? [00:02] ader10, not exactly [00:03] ader10, but close [00:03] Quick question: why do some pages have question marks all over the place? is it my font settings? [00:03] cwillu, ati mobility x2300 [00:03] cwillu: I remember the good old red hat days when they let you do what you wanted.... Too bad kubuntu sucks [00:04] cwillu: so there's are 3 different was to make an MP3? [00:04] cwillu, any idea why that may be. [00:04] you're allowed to have an opinion.. and i'm allowed to think you're an idiot for having it [00:04] sorry, one sec [00:04] k [00:04] xserver-xorg-video-intel conflicts with xserver-xorg-video-i810 (<< 2:1.9.91-1) [00:04] xserver-xorg-video-i810 (version 1:1.7.2-4mepis2) is installed. [00:04] dpkg: error processing ./xserver-xorg-video-intel_1.9.94-1ubuntu4_i386.deb (--install): [00:04] , I can I fix this and update to the intel driver? [00:04] bobby_: sorry.. crashed there... had to kill some stuff to get back.. it worked? [00:05] Hi can someone help me ? I'm having problems with the filesystem [00:05] * how can I fix it to update to the intel driver? [00:05] x86, do you intentionally have mepis repos enabled? [00:05] 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. Please help!! [00:05] schnoowork, you probably need to set your screen depth to 16bit; have you played with compiz or aiglx before on that machien? [00:05] ader10 pipe the output of the cli command like so command1 > file.txt is this not good enuff to capture your command1 results? [00:06] ToastGuy, there's probably a couple hundred ways :p [00:06] ToastGuy, you just want to copy off a cd? [00:06] cwillu: well ya [00:06] Sound Juicer will go to an mp3? [00:06] GDM keeps saying that my user doesn't have permissions to edit it's folder or there is no disk space [00:06] ader10, I think you can still install plain old xscreensaver [00:06] cwillu: or what ever [00:06] cwillu: it's just more to be aware that there are different levels [00:06] truna: I do not need to know how to do that. I need to know how to configure gnome-screensaver. [00:06] anyone? please? [00:06] Quick question: why do some pages have question marks all over the place? is it my font settings? [00:06] But there is disk space, and i've already tried to change it's home folder permissions [00:06] crazyrk, well, are you out of space? [00:06] No [00:06] ToastGuy, look in applications | sound & video; there should be a cd extracter there [00:07] cwillu: I'm not into piracy, but I just don't believe in locking down media [00:07] cwillu: I might do that, but it'll probably screw over the integration I worked so hard on. [00:07] ader10 what is with this attitude? [00:07] I already deleted big files like 500mb [00:07] crazyrk, what is the perm level of your home dir? [00:07] does anyone know how to get wireless internet connection working in ubuntu with bell sympatico ? [00:07] jimmygoon I have a mepis install because I have an Acer Aspire 3680, now I'm trying to get the s-video to work mainly. How can I accomplish this? [00:07] truna: I'm not trying to be difficult. Just please read my question :) [00:07] I don't know how it was before, but i've tried to set it 644 with root and later 777 [00:07] ToastGuy, don't worry, I'm pretty sure I get kicked if I tell you how to create a torrent file from a dvd rip you just made ;p [00:07] whats the program to edit partitions on ubuntu? [00:07] cwillu: will it do it be the most open form of mp3s? [00:07] ader10, indeed, it would [00:07] Even with 777 i'm not able to access it with gnome [00:07] ader10 your question includes how to capture output of command line... [00:07] nor even in terminal without root [00:07] whats the program to edit partitions on ubuntu? [00:07] ToastGuy, mp3's don't have any drm in them (they're ugly because of the patent, not the format itself) [00:08] cwillu: lol [00:08] ToastGuy, ogg is the recommended format [00:08] I'm trying to configure my s-video, it appears I have intel drivers can anyone help? [00:08] Quick question: why do some pages have question marks all over the place? is it my font settings? [00:08] Rufus_: either gparted or cfdisk [00:08] truna: I'm sorry I didn't make it clear, what I meant was how do I configure my screensaver to print the output of a command, [00:08] thank you [00:08] ToastGuy, although many windows players won't doing anything with an ogg out of the box [00:08] qwaz: could be that you have poor unicode support [00:08] x86, um, lol, I don't understand what mepis has to do with Acer but your ubuntu repositories are clashing with the mepis ones. you might be able to just remove the i810 driver and then try installing the intel driver, but if one is in mepis and one is in ubuntu or something liek that, you will have problems [00:08] somebody ? [00:08] joeamined: I did have one, before switching to Teksavvy... I used a router, though, which handled the connection, so it doesn't make a difference whether it was Bell or Rogers, DSL or cable... [00:08] cwillu: understood [00:08] qwaz:: translation issues? or viewing a file that shouldn't be view in html [00:08] Starnestommy: Ahh, ok. How do I go about fixing unicode support [00:09] cwillu: well, it's also about being aware of the better non patent version [00:09] and that is OGG? [00:09] ahhh... jimmygoon so how can I go about getting s-video to work? [00:09] hello [00:09] bastid_raZor: just regular pages in english [00:09] ToastGuy, as long as your in the linux world, either format will work (ogg is in -good, so it'll work out of the box) [00:09] Slart: yes it did!! thank you very much!! it's copying now... take more then a hour though!! [00:09] ToastGuy, indeed [00:09] Just checking in to see what's new. [00:09] crazyrk, might check where the perm levels lie in subdirs (I'm not sure on intracacies of gdm) [00:09] bastid_raZor: for example http://www.epinions.com/content_2251202692 [00:09] 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 and let me know [00:09] My computer has a tendency to hang at random moments, sometimes when I change songs in Rhythmbox, click on a link in Firefox, start a new application, anything. Intervals can be as little as 3 minutes to as long as a day. What could be the problem? I remember hearing someone on this chatroom say something about "nohz=off" or something of the sort. [00:09] x86, I have no idea. video output besides LCD is supposedly better in intel driver. otherwise I don't know [00:09] qwaz:: you're using firefox? [00:10] Strangework, ibm? [00:10] qwaz:: ubuntu 7.10? [00:10] bastid_raZor: aye [00:10] bobby_: ah.. good [00:10] aye [00:10] jimmygoon: are you saying to check the folders inside /home/user/ ? [00:10] truna: do you have any ideas? [00:10] truna, no. it is not stock, its not oss if I remember [00:10] Slart: I'm a happy camper! :D [00:10] my rhythmbox is just lagging.... I'm guessing because of all the files it's trying to load [00:10] ader10 nope not yet, i may come across it and let you know [00:10] crazyrk, yeah, like maybe it needs access to /home/crazyrk/.gnome2 and maybe that dir has bad perms... I REALLY DONT KNOW THOUGH :P sorry [00:10] crazyrk, really, its just a thought on my part :S [00:10] jimmygoon: are you saying to check the folders inside /home/user/ ? [00:10] ToastGuy, probably; there's a bunch of kernel improvements that you're missing out on too (although the biggest comes with hardy, which isn't actually out yet anyway) [00:11] cwillu: nahh, HP [00:11] ToastGuy, aka "make things work smoother under load" [00:11] jimmygoon: Well, trying with -R on chmod now [00:11] crazyrk, er, be careful [00:11] lol [00:11] Hello, I had to restore my mysql database from a backup, and now all my tables are read only. Can anyone tell me how to make sure they have write access in ubuntu server? [00:11] cwillu: "with Hardy" ??? [00:11] jimmygoon, are you sure? i saw my nxclient, but since I messed up the authorized_keys i figured to remove and reinstall not realizing its been installed as part of stock install(?) [00:11] truna I'm 100% sure [00:11] ToastGuy, hardy is the next long-term-service release, due out in 3 months [00:12] qwaz:: it is showing ?'s all over for me also.. whatever that character is isn't supported. [00:12] ToastGuy, aka 8.04 [00:12] truna, I sure haven't uninstalled it, I would like to use it but last tiem I checked it was a PITA to get working. it is not installed on my copy [00:12] the alternate cd is this ubuntu-7.10-desktop-amd64.iso ??? [00:12] jimmygoon: Tried it, still doesn't working.... Has it something with deleting /tmp contents ? [00:12] cwillu: for ubuntu.. gott'cha.... [00:12] crazyrk, no clue [00:12] i've installed ekiga, but when i try to run, i get the error "No usable audio plugin detected... Ekiga didn't find any usable audio plugin. Make sure that your installation is correct" searched the net to no avail [00:12] bastid_raZor: oh ok...so it's the web-authors fault? [00:12] jimmygoon, umm. ..where the heck did that nxclient come from that I removed... [00:12] qwaz:: yes, [00:12] jimmygoon: Well, thanks [00:12] has kde4 hit the repos yet? [00:12] * cwillu wishes ekiga would go away, to be replaced by something good, or at least not bad [00:12] oh well [00:12] bastid_raZor: ok thanksk for your time, i appreciate it [00:12] cwillu: is there any simple upgrade packages from 6.06 to 7? [00:12] esteveryt: nope.... sec [00:12] oh so.. has anyone has this problem? [00:13] truna, it could have come from a package, or a dependency of another package. etc etc [00:13] ader10, see about replacing gnome-screensaver with xscreensaver [00:13] does anyone know how to get wireless internet connection working in ubuntu with bell sympatico ? [00:13] g0rb3hy: and which one is the alternate? [00:13] qwaz:: no problem. [00:13] ToastGuy, yep; by default, it won't bug you about them (6.06 being a long-term release) [00:13] JimmyDee, ill goo poking around [00:13] jimmygoon: I'll do that right now :) [00:13] jimmygoon: Now my user cannot even access /bin to use commom apps ! [00:13] jimmygoon: only root can do anything [00:13] ToastGuy, you can run the update manager by hand (not hard), and it'll do an upgrade to 6.10, and when that's done it'll offer automatically to go to 7.04, and so on [00:13] crazyrk, er... [00:13] crazyrk:: sounds like you've removed yourself from admin group [00:13] On what channel I can find help with sh-scripting? [00:13] crazyrk, is your HD going bad? [00:14] My computer has a tendency to hang at random moments, sometimes when I change songs in Rhythmbox, click on a link in Firefox, start a new application, anything. Intervals can be as little as 3 minutes to as long as a day. What could be the problem? I remember hearing someone on this chatroom say something about "nohz=off" or something of the sort. [00:14] joeamined, i dont think it has to be ISP specific, but anyhow, what have you done to test if its active or have loaded the drivers? [00:14] jimmygoon: Well, SMART didn't say anything [00:14] cwillu: update manager? where? [00:14] ToastGuy, there's currently no way to skip distro's other than reinstalling, although I _think_ they're planning on a direct 6.06->8.04 upgrade (could be mistaken though) [00:14] en español [00:14] One more quick question, a quick answer is ok, Ubuntu on a UMPC with a touchscreen, easy or hard? [00:14] bastid_raZor: Oh, how can i check it ? [00:14] crazyrk, hm, sounds to me like you've got some major permission problems going on [00:14] ToastGuy, alt+f2, type in "update-manager -c" [00:14] cwillu: whatever, I'm ready to go to the next version [00:14] ToastGuy, this will take some time though [00:15] crazyrk, you will probably need to ssh in or do a "Recovery/single user" boot and boot into root, find out what those folders are supposed! to be and repair them [00:15] esteveryt: sorry, you had it right :) [00:15] jimmygoon: This is strange because everything was working, and when i rebooted this happened [00:15] ToastGuy, you'll end up doing the equivilent of downloading _every_ version between 6.06 and 7.10 [00:15] ToastGuy, that is, you'll upgrade to 6.10, and then 7.04, then 7.10 [00:15] esteveryt: thought it had something else in the file name [00:15] I need to be root is says [00:15] I know how to do that from command line [00:15] ToastGuy, my bad [00:15] how do I do that otherwise? [00:15] o [00:15] ToastGuy, just add sudo before the command [00:16] bah [00:16] Repost to channel: quick question, quick answer ok, Ubuntu on a UMPC with a touchscreen, easy or hard? [00:16] jimmygoon: ill try it, thks [00:16] ToastGuy, make that gksudo [00:16] I thought they were planning on an LTS->LTS upgrade path... :( Darn it. [00:16] can anyone tell me why i cant see my root parition in cfdisk it comes up as free space [00:16] FrostRat, i think so, [00:16] How can I upgrade my kernel (currently 2.6.22-14-generic x86_64) to 2.6.24.3-2.9 without breaking anything under Feisty? [00:16] My computer has a tendency to hang at random moments, sometimes when I change songs in Rhythmbox, click on a link in Firefox, start a new application, anything. Intervals can be as little as 3 minutes to as long as a day. What could be the problem? I remember hearing someone on this chatroom say something about "nohz=off" or something of the sort. [00:16] FrostRat, but that doesn't help ToastGuy for another few months [00:16] why does gnome take so long to load folders with lots of folders in them? [00:16] crazyrk:: vi /etc/group and look to see if you are listed under admin: [00:17] cwillu: gksudo "Missing command to run" [00:17] cwillu: Thx... I jumped in halfway through your conversation. :) Sorry! [00:17] bastid_raZor: ok [00:17] ToastGuy, gksudo update-manager -c [00:17] cwillu: ahh [00:17] cwillu: remember I'm totally novice [00:17] cwillu: I understand more command line stuff [00:17] Strangework, only thing I can think of off hand is to boot with nohz=off noapic nolapic acpi=off and see if it works better [00:17] cwillu: you'd be surprised [00:18] ToastGuy, then open the d*** terminal :p [00:18] bastid_raZor: Im listed like adm:x:4:user [00:18] ToastGuy, it's the same command either way [00:18] cwillu: lol [00:18] cwillu: How can I do that? [00:18] holy cow....elinks pretty much owns lynx === Asylum is now known as n3o [00:18] cwillu: but I'm also trying to learn ubuntu [00:18] Strangework, reboot, hit escape for the grub menu, edit the kernel line (there's a key listed to do that), and add that gunk to the end of it [00:18] crazyrk:: adm and admin .. admin:x:110:you_here [00:18] qwaz, so does firefox :D [00:18] Strangework, same line as 'splash' === n3o is now known as thumbal [00:19] bastid_raZor: Ok [00:19] hey -- does anyone know why it takes so long to load folders with lots in them (such as my music folder) and how can I fix that? [00:19] esteveryt: =s it was wrong, for some reason on the website the checkbox wasnt takeing me to the correct file, its ubuntu-7.10-alternate-amd64.iso [00:19] * pegwole yawn stretch grunt [00:19] Hey does anyone know how to be an online DJ with Rhythmbox? [00:19] * cwillu is going in about 5 minutes, fair warning [00:19] cwillu: uh, okay, I will give that shot, thanks :) [00:19] jimmygoon: yeah, but not as geeky :) [00:19] ToastGuy, any luck? [00:20] bastid_raZor: yes, im listed like this, sounds like an HD problem here, since i created another user and gdm keeps complaining about disk space [00:20] abccat: i did not know that was possible [00:20] crazyrk:: yeah, it does sound like hd issues.. good luck with buying a new one [00:20] gravemind, there's a plugin I think [00:21] Well, I recently got an offer to become a DJ. Unfortunately, the "Free setup" guy doesn't know a thing about Linux broadcasters. [00:21] found the answer to the ekiga error: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ekiga/+bug/178555 [00:21] abccat, no idea off hand, sorry; I think there's a plugin, but google would probably be a better guide [00:21] cwillu: a plugin that does what? [00:21] bastid_raZor: I have another one, i was specting something like this... [00:21] gravemind, shoutcast streaming [00:21] ah, ok [00:21] bastid_raZor: thanks for the help [00:21] crazyrk:: which brand and how old is the hdd? [00:21] cwillu: nothing happens [00:21] bastid_raZor: its a maxtor from 2004 [00:21] @ cwillu, it's not a shoutcast server? [00:21] Does anyone know if it's possible to use a AVI file (or any format I can convert the file to) as a screensaver in Ubuntu 7.10? [00:22] crazyrk, do a df in gnome-terminal [00:22] ToastGuy, sorry, my bad again [00:22] may i say that drive names in ubuntu are WAY TOO dynamic? you unmount a drive and the next drive changes from /media/disk-1 to /media/disk... you didn't want it to be /media/disk in the first place.. is there a way to assign a solid path to a certain device that isn't affected when you insert an SD card or soemthing? [00:22] bastid_raZor: but it has many heating issues, the new maxtor ones doesnt, but this keeps a lot of heat [00:22] ToastGuy, gksudo "update-manager -c" [00:22] ToastGuy, including the quote marks [00:22] crazyrk:: i have two maxtor 40G drives 6 years old.. a third one just recently died.. maxtor is a great brand [00:22] cwillu: :D [00:22] jimmygoon: i cant access gnome, can i do this in normal terminal ? [00:22] abccat: What are they using? Maybe you could google for an linux equiv... [00:22] ToastGuy, gksudo is being silly with grabbing args obviously not meant for it ;p [00:22] crazyrk, yep [00:22] ToastGuy, that'll teach me to give command lines without trying them first ;p [00:22] abccat, Or try wine... [00:23] bastid_raZor: yes, mine one is an 40G too, this one had some heating problems [00:23] cwillu: lol [00:23] i'm not sure. it's a custom set up server. he suggested such things as "Winamp" and "SAM Broadcaster" [00:23] crazyrk:: more cooling? i thought the same when my drive went down.. i went over board and bought a larger case fan [00:23] hope someone can help - i installed 8.04 on a seperate partition on my hdd to test out. but after a kernel upgrade on hardy it looks like this test partition is now the one with grub installed on it - and i'd like to get it back to booting off my main gutsy partition, with the hardy one as an option [00:23] but i don't know how to move grub back to the main partition... [00:23] can anyone tell me how I can get ubuntu to play http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/realplayer/media/fmg2.ram [00:24] hey, does anybody know why so many non-linear video editors have black GTK themes? LiVES and Cinelerra to name a few. [00:24] SAM Broadcaster is a nice proggie for windows.. Umm hold up.. [00:24] Is there a ubuntu-wiki doc channel? Working on some wiki pages.. and wanting some feedback, and tips. [00:24] bastid_raZor: No, i have 2 drives in a big case, and the other one is always cold but this one is very HOT [00:24] what guide would you recommend using for installing/configuring icecast + ices (to be used with mpd) [00:24] bye peoples [00:24] What is the command to install a deb from the CLI? I have the .deb downloaded already. [00:24] is 8.04 even out? i haven't seen it on ubuntu page [00:24] Does anyone know if it's possible to use a AVI file (or any format I can convert the file to) as a screensaver in Ubuntu 7.10? [00:24] bastid_raZor: already tried to chance their places, but didn't work [00:24] Odd-rationale: sudo gdebi thefile.deb [00:24] abccat: officially no testing yes [00:24] crazyrk:: yeah.. heat is a killer for any electronics. [00:24] i tried the df thing, what can i do now ? [00:25] Odd-rationale: or sudo dpkg -i thefile.deb, but the former installs depends if needed. [00:25] bastid_raZor: Yes, but I'm already used to it, I've already had an Prescott :) [00:25] cellofellow: OK thanks! I don't gdebi anyways. [00:25] i can't wait. i installed a shell script (didn't know what that was at the time) and there doesn't seem to be an uninstall script. i'm stil lrather new. i'd rather reformat when the new distro comes out. [00:25] * cwillu is leaving now, last chance! [00:25] jimmygoon: tried it [00:26] abccat: usually shell scripts you just delete unless they have an installer [00:26] jimmygoon: it shows 33% use of hda1 [00:26] does anyone know how you can split $PATH into a bash array? [00:26] crazyrk, hm, well, thats weird [00:26] eh but i installed using a script [00:26] ToastGuy, I'm out of here, gl! [00:26] abccat, Try this post, it mentions a few linux programs used for Radio broadcasting - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=121761 [00:26] I dunna why gnome is whinning about diskspace [00:26] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=53755&highlight=Logitech+QuickCam [00:26] this thing didn't work [00:26] abccat, Note XMMS is more of a Winamp clone.. it may have the same feature. [00:26] jimmygoon: me too [00:26] Ademan, i recall i think some examples of doing that in the advanced bash scripting guide [00:26] How can I upgrade my kernel (currently 2.6.22-14-generic x86_64) to 2.6.24.3-2.9 without breaking anything under Feisty? [00:26] thanks thumbal [00:27] thanks Dr_willis i'm looking there right now, but no luck thus far [00:27] abccat: whats the product / vendor id of your cam? [00:27] er [00:27] Anyone have any idea what the latest updates did? Some how, my tomboy notes got zapped [00:27] Ademan, its set of tokens seperated by : i recall doing a similer thing in perl with like 2 lines. :) but i forget how/why [00:28] Logitech V-UAL9 [00:28] ? [00:28] http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/m4w/533096562.html [00:28] well, ill check what i can do here, bye people [00:28] yikes [00:28] lsusb will tell u [00:28] I have a backup of some, but I lost something fairly important today. I'm really curious as to what could have happened [00:28] lol, yeah in most languages it's rather simple, i just don't know bash well enough to do it [00:28] aparently when i plug it in, it calls it a drive.. lol [00:29] abccat, Maybe it has some UDF drive on it for automatic installation of the Software? [00:29] cat "find /usr/src/linux-source/ -name '*.c'" returns the error cat: find /usr/src/linux-source/ -name '*.c': No such file or directory [00:29] wow i have to stop daydreaming [00:29] any ideas?

[00:42] thousand* [00:42] Okay im running Xubuntu. I failed to save an open office document and the recovery system was trying to recover it. It won't move past that window and on to my new document [00:42] wow i can't type today [00:42] Nessarose: What kind of partition is it? [00:42] I have to close open office in htop [00:42] resierfs [00:42] Nessarose: Also include a description of your problem so someone with experience in that area can look it over Being rude and repeating after being asked not to is a good way to get ignored or booted out [00:43] Nessarose: Have you tried other tools? [00:43] yes I tried cfdisk and fdisk [00:43] * IndyGunFreak votes for booting out.. :) [00:43] but if I try to open openoffice again it will once again try to recover the doc and I can't go into the new word doc [00:43] * nickrud thinks IndyGunFreak should not carry guns ;p [00:43] * Dr_willis hopes the guy is running cfdisk as root [00:43] Nessarose: Are you trying to recover the partition, or are you partitioning the space? [00:44] * IndyGunFreak is glad nickrud isn't president.. :) [00:44] already ignoring him...

[00:44] renegade420: have you tried this, create a document on your desktop(blank, it doesn't matter),. right click it,a nd choose to o pen it w/ open office., [00:45] renegade420: then close it properly, and restart OO.o [00:45] ader ` is a backtick.. ' is a single quote.. the 2 work very differently :) [00:45] anyone know where I can find the compiz-fuzion log, so I can sort out some crashing issues? [00:45] oops wrong nick [00:45] Nessarose: ?? So, what's the problem exactly? Are you saying you created a reiserfs partition on /dev/sda1 and it ends up being marked as some other kind of partition? [00:45] ader10, ` is a backtick.. ' is a single quote.. the 2 work very differently :) [00:46] Dr_willis: I'll try it again [00:46] I forget whats the new better way of doing backticks.. was `command` the same as $(command) ? [00:46] while compiling a new kernel i read that i could add modules (ndiswrapper, nvidia) to be included in the compile, what files & where do i need to put them to make sure they're included in the kpkg [00:46] ?? [00:46] IndyGunFreak, I tried to open opne office bt it still goes to this recovery window [00:46] Dr_willis: Yeah, what are you trying to do exactly?

I set the KBUILD environment varible to the headres for the custom kernel [00:47] renegade420: maybe try deleting the file?... [00:47] well, maybe if i describe my problem :P === ironman is now known as nellim [00:47] or moving it from the folder that OO.o is going to look for it. [00:47] IndyGunFreak, i did not save it how doo i delete it? [00:48] renegade420: oh i see, nevermind. [00:48] or how do i move it? [00:48] i have a movie in avi format and i downloaded the czech subtitles for it [00:48] Dr_willis: Ah, okay. Yeah, either ` ` or $( ) works fine. [00:48] peabody, my problem is I have a 20G swap I want to cut that space in half give half to swap half to a new parition I can't do that though cause my root linux parition shows up in cfdisk as free space [00:48] renegade420: have you tried restarting X? [00:48] thanks peabody.. i'm pretty sure it can be done during the initial compile, anyone have any more info [00:48] but when i view the subtitles with text editor they don't look right [00:48] the characters are wrong [00:48] like a weird box instead of č [00:49] orionjoe, Maybe you don't have support for czech characters installed.. [00:49] hold on.. [00:49] I'm just going to put this request out there. I have a Radeon HD 2600 XT and I can't seem to get any support. Would someone be willing to PM me and help me out? [00:49] anyone ever have trouble with suspend/hibernate with ubuntu on laptops ? [00:49] sfears: It might be possible, only thing I can think of though is to patch your kernel source tree so it carries the ndiswrapper module. [00:49] i think i did everything to have support for czech characters [00:49] IndyGunFreak, i did and openoffice still was trying to recover thefile...

[00:50] /dev/sda4 [00:50] ader10, people just dont often see that they are backticks. :) [00:50] look at my mount and df command [00:50] Hi guys. I have burned 7.10 to CD at 4x, and when i boot up the machine to check the CD for errors, I get a line across the screen and a 7 digit number in the corner and the screen freezes and I have to hard reboot. Any ideas? [00:50] ader10, you do relize that you must use the proper path to the linux source, and that none is installed on ubutu by default.. :) [00:51] Anyone know why I get the following error when I try to reload Synaptic, or install a package?: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/Release.gpg: Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused) [00:51] I've used linux for a few years (I'm still uninformed about a lot of it though due to lack of help-out-noob-ness) and never seen a back-tick :P [00:51] ader10, top left of the keyboard. :) [00:51] Dr_willis: I extracted the source to /usr/src/linux-source [00:51] orionjoe, I think the Language support is for a USER to user basis. i.e it wont be loaded unless it's your default language, there must be someway to install the lingo pack to be available when needed.. [00:52] osxdude: Good question, did you change your repositories to read from a local one run from your computer? Check your sources list. [00:52] ader10, $() is the better way of doing the same thing as `` does. more readable. [00:52] i see [00:52] osxdude: looks like you have a proxy setting in one of your /etc/apt/conf.d/ files [00:52] peabody, any idea? [00:52] so i can only use that language with a second user account? [00:52] thanks peabody and nickrud [00:52] oh wait [00:52] I think I know what is up [00:52] osxdude === dan__ is now known as osx5 [00:52] You could, or have it as your default on the default user.. [00:52] whats up [00:52] ader10: It's understandable you would never have seen a backtick, they're an old style shell output capture. Lots of people still use them though because they more cross-platform. [00:52] Hold up tho.. just looking if there is another way todo it [00:53] Dr_willis: :D I got it, because the site converted the quote marks to some strange format I had to change it for the console and accidentally swapped the `s for the 's and vice versa [00:53] Dr_willis: Thank you very much! [00:53] ader10, so you just installed some 20mb+ of source.. for a nice screensaver..... :P [00:53] Dr_willis: w00t [00:53] nickrud: May I pm?

[00:54] yeah, it worked with totem. but in vlc the subtitles didn't show at all [00:54] oh ok [00:55] Hello. Does anybody have any experience with VirtualBox OSE? [00:55] It's just that you can't view them in the document correctly? [00:55] well, a little showed. anyways, it didn't work in vlc [00:55] both as a document and as subtitles [00:55] Guess what: ls: /etc/apt/conf.d/: No such file or directory [00:55] How can I do this "Make sure that the user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by adding them to the vboxusers groups." ?

[00:56] peabody: How can I do this, Make sure that the user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by adding them to the vboxusers groups? [00:56] That isn't right, am I correct peabody or nickrud? [00:56] alright, thanks anyways [00:56] np [00:56] BB88: Do you know how to change a file's mode? (chmod command) [00:56] Anyone know how I can use an AVI as a screensaver?

Any ideas? [00:56] Try creating the second user with the default lingo pack as czech.. that could be a work around for now untill you find a decent fix. [00:56] osx5 nick completion messed up [00:57] Any guys here like to wear bras? [00:57] osxdude: What was that? Sorry, I missed it...

Thanks. === tritium_ is now known as tritium [01:20] ryanakca: It is probably not mounting under proc per se... usb devices will show up their because the /proc filesystem is a special in memory filesystem that represents things in the kernel. [01:21] ryanakca: What's happening is it's not being mounted at all probably, for whatever reason. Have you been able to write to it before?

Both / and /home? [01:28] peabody: yes, when i do a df, it shows the disk is only 33% used [01:28] hello [01:28] hello [01:29] hi! [01:29] ubuntu help available here? [01:29] Try running this on the users folder as root: chown -R user:user /home/user [01:29] peabody: how can i check if home is full ? root isn't [01:29] where user is the user's username [01:29] whoami [01:29] ok [01:29] join #C++ [01:29] wickedrash: yep, just ask. [01:29] oops [01:29] crazyrk: df will tell you how much space is on /home, if you don't see a /home, it means you share /home on /, which would mean /home has free space. [01:29] Hi, is there an option to add tab-completion in nano? [01:30] I am working with bacula...and a 40/80 DLT but having trouble [01:30] JoeThomas: Don't know. Any reason it has to be nano? vim or emacs are totally worth the learn [01:30] peabody: nah, no reason. Doesn't matter, whichever will allow me to use tab completion. [01:31] peabody: Yes, i tried with chown but i'm with the same problem, looks like it's making / my home everytime I login, as it says on the terminal, how can i change user's home ? [01:31] I can't get bacula-web to see the DB [01:31] JoeThomas: they'll both do it, and I could tell you how to do it in both.

[01:34] does it play in fullscreen? [01:34] I can get it to show up in normal size but when I try to resize google videos they disappear but the sound keeps going [01:34] wickedrash: heard about it, never used it. I just rsync my stuff [01:34] peabody: has any idea with the other problem ? [01:34] Hello, ubuntu! ^_^ I just got AWN (pretty friggin cool) installed and whatnot. But when I attempt to add a launcher by dragging a wine executable app to the dock, it doesn't do anything... What's up? [01:34] youtube works good though [01:35] apathy, i run it fullscreen, i have no clue why it wouldnt work though [01:35] 10-4 [01:35] peabody: Ok, living 'n learning :) [01:35] crazyrk: what other problem? That should solve it, once you've don that chmod, login as that user, I'm pretty sure that should fix it [01:35] do you have 64-bit? [01:35] I am just wanting to send data to tape [01:35] no [01:35] peabody: Ok, thanks :) [01:35] ok [01:35] 64bit is sketchy [01:36] yea I heard, I was hoping to figure it out [01:36] so far ubuntu is cool though, I like it [01:36] wickedrash: You may want to try asking in #ubuntu-server as well, this channel usually ends up being for more 'end user' questions :) [01:36] !hardy [01:36] 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 [01:36] wow, i think ubuntu just saved my whole music collection [01:37] thanks pici [01:37] noonan: ubuntu needs music... it feeds on it [01:37] I just installed the 64bit version and I'm wondering what else I need to do, do I need java or anything? [01:37] peabody: Now I have the same problem of gmd for both users, about setgid and setuid, it talks about a website: http://www.gtk.org/setuid.html, can you check it for me since I'm without X right now ? [01:38] apathy: if you're going to run java applets you sure do [01:38] crazyrk: Can you somehow typeout the message here if possible? [01:38] ok [01:38] silent_: yeah but what I'm talking about is a totally dead hard drive - 300gb worth - half full of music [01:38] I've never used linux either by the way lol [01:38] apathy: if you're asking what you need to do if you have 64 bit, I'd really suggest you install 32 bit, or book a few weeks off [01:38] or at least dead to windows [01:38] haha [01:39] noonan: cool, what did you use to recover it? [01:39] peabody: got that howto? :) [01:39] noonan: you're making me want to go buy more hard drives for mirroring :S [01:39] I was expecting some difficulties [01:39] peabody: Any ideas how to share folders between Guest and Host? [01:39] * peabody needs his memory jogged...Howto? [01:39] nothin! just plugged it in internally to my new ubuntu system and voila, back to life [01:39] so far I like it though, I got sound going and youtube works [01:39] peabody: tab completetion in nano. [01:39] when i install the nvidia driver that i downloaded from their site and reboot i get "Fatal: error running install command for nvidia". how can i resolve this? [01:39] apathy: get 32 bit, 64 bit for a first-timer will not be pleasant... and there's no big performance hit [01:39] BB88: sure, through smb or nfs, what do you need? [01:39] how much ram are you using? [01:40] JoeThomas: Not for nano, for vim or emacs :) [01:40] Ahh vim then [01:40] like, I had my IT guy at work try everything, plug it into his windows machine, run stuff on it - nothing [01:40] noonan: well, thats the problem, he was on windows [01:40] peabody: Well I am just trying to share a folder, so I can install VB6 on XP through the Virtual thing? [01:40] he probably needed the drivers or to go into the control panel or some crap [01:40] silent, do you have 32bit ? [01:40] JoeThomas: Okay, you can tab complete a filename to edit by using :edit some_letters_of_this_filename_ [01:40] you know, windows things [01:41] peabody: Ok, here it goes: "Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds. If you have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may been out of diskspace. Try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix this problem." [01:41] apathy: I do, on a 64-bit capable processor no less [01:41] peabody: No, I mean... [01:41] JoeThomas: Or, if you're in a file you're editing, you can use ^X^F in insert mode to complete a filename [01:41] oh alright [01:41] peabody: It has more in ~/.xsession-errors [01:41] apathy: my server is 64 bit though [01:41] seriously [01:41] shoot, cuz I just got it all installed finally and most of it works pretty good [01:41] crazyrk: did you try logging in with a failsafe session? [01:42] apathy: if you want to get internet plugins working, just get 32 bit [01:42] i can't understand though, i mean, this was an external drive it used to freeze any windows box it was plugged into [01:42] peabody: I want to be able to do tab-completion, but for php. Such as if I enter the method 'ldap_...', it would come up with methods starting with ldap_ [01:42] get the alternate install cd, faster and easier [01:42] anyway, I'm done, but wow [01:42] alright [01:42] ok [01:42] peabody: No, I only got to this stage with your help :) I'll try it now, thanks... [01:42] JoeThomas: CTRL-N or CTRL-P in insert mode [01:42] peabody: okay. [01:42] apathy: just play around with stuff while it downloads... get familiar with the interfaces [01:42] JoeThomas: That works if you have the method already typed in the file. [01:42] apathy: the install doesnt take long at all [01:43] you'll be up and running in no time [01:43] JoeThomas: If not, tags files can help with that. [01:43] ok [01:43] peabody: alright. [01:43] I like ubuntu alot though so far [01:43] ubuntu-server room is about as dry as a popcorn fart [01:43] :) [01:43] apathy: good, so do I [01:43] I got some problems with mythtv still though [01:43] apathy: you'll only discover more good things as you go along [01:43] sweet [01:43] REPEATING:: Hello, ubuntu! ^_^ I just got AWN (pretty friggin cool) installed and whatnot. But when I attempt to add a launcher by dragging a wine executable app to the dock, it doesn't do anything... What's up? [01:44] i have sound in my headphones, but not in my speakers [01:44] how do i fix this? [01:44] apathy: and maybe even some classic linux bad things, but those can be overcome easily. The community is very large and the forum is very useful [01:44] apathy: I can attest to that. [01:44] ok [01:44] mnemonica: You need to right click AWN and select Preferences. Then add your credentials ijn Launchers.

[01:45] yea [01:45] BB88: Sorry, what did you need again? [01:45] BB88: Right, I figured I'd have to use the actual launcher adderthingy... But I don't know how to add the credentials. What would I put? [01:46] hey guys .... is it a bug whenever you use the OEM cd from ubuntu to install on a 64 bit system and u get a blank screen after you install ? [01:46] peabody: Well I am just trying to share a folder, so I can install VB6 on XP through the Virtual thing? [01:46] wickedrash: you probably just learned from each until you got here and knew enough. Most linux distros today are the same (in each gnome/kde family), with the exception of their package manager and various bits and pieces [01:46] I can't install unless I used the beta disc [01:46] my computer was too old to upgrade to vista and I didn't have enough money for a whole new computer so I figured I'd try ubuntu [01:46] but the overall experience in Ubuntu is very nice [01:46] I wanted a mac though [01:46] apathy: Good call. lol [01:46] i have sound in my headphones, but not in my speakers. how do i fix this? [01:46] true [01:46] BB88: Oh, I haven't haven't messed with shared folders in virtual box. Sorry, thought you meant in ubuntu in general [01:46] apathy: It's amazing what linux can do with old hardware, truly [01:46] BB88: However, from my understanding it's not very hard. [01:46] I don't use gui's though [01:46] mnemonica: Ignore "credentials", I was just being fancy, but I guess you could call them that. Go to add, then go to /usr/bin/ and find the executable file, and add the name of the program etc. [01:47] yea [01:47] peabody: So it seems, but not having much luck.

[02:01] can anyone help me troubleshoot my sound problems? i have sound coming through the headphones, but not speakers on my laptop [02:01] thanks for helping [02:01] ATI Technologies Inc RS485 [Radeon Xpress 1100 IGP] [02:01] the problem is client cannot find iamge file linux [02:01] !sound | ozzloy [02:01] dsnyders : compact every 4.5GB [02:01] ozzloy: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

In vi, in a s/ command, what is the regex to match x'0a'? [02:03] ugh, that reminds me I need to set up rsync as a cron job [02:03] backup certain directories on my windows pc to my ubuntu pc, which pretty much just is for backup [02:04] Blair, i'm currently using cygwin for windows [02:04] Do game controllers work on Ubuntu? [02:04] its really dificult o set up windows to do data that way are they on the same netwourk [02:04] ? [02:04] what's the app to create a theme ? I mean make a new one with custom colors in such [02:04] yep, same network === GodTodd_ is now known as GodTodd [02:05] Like USB Game Controllers? [02:05] tailsfan, depends on the model, look it up in the forum or in this list https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport www.ubuntuforums.org [02:05] use a samba share to set up a local share drive [02:05] Pelo, you can use the gimp or inkscape to make new icons [02:05] can you do that it would be easyer [02:05] ? [02:05] soldats, not quite what I had in mind I mean making a new gtk theme [02:06] yes, it's already set up [02:06] does anyone here have some experience with ices2 and icecast2 ? [02:06] Pelo, ahh my bad [02:06] Blair, but i need it to be through ssh [02:06] n00bie, better look for a ices2 or icecast2 channel [02:06] mnoir: x'0a' should be perfect as regex for x'0a' [02:06] Pelo: i have, but there are none responding :-) [02:06] why and if so.. http://www.cs.toronto.edu/support/remote_ssh_tunneling_windows_samba.html [02:07] pelo, I don't see anything [02:07] ssh just for security [02:07] n00bie, not all channels are as busy as this one, try different times or day and be patinet [02:07] can anyone explain why when I move try to place a file on my desktop it say there is not enough room even though I am sure there is? [02:07] Blair, just for security. I can already rsync with the secrets file, but i can't get it to work with ssh [02:07] tailsfan, try broadening your search, make the keywords more general , usb game , usb control, usb joystick [02:08] Pelo: ok [02:08] oh. use putty on the windows machine to ceate the inittal conection [02:08] puTTy [02:08] iCEifer, one or several files ? [02:08] Tramp - vi's s/ comand does not use that style - it uses an escaped syntax of (ctl)v(ctl)something else [02:08] i fergot the something else [02:08] hmm, that might be difficult [02:08] X( What the f**k [02:08] Pelo, either...it also seems that ubuntu is no longer saving any settings of mine under things like compiz, it's almost like it can't write anything anywhere? [02:08] Flash is broken, which means No YouTube for a whole [02:08] mnoir: or do you mean "xnewline" with x0a? then use x$ [02:08] Blair, the computers in question are without internet connection [02:08] hey guys whats the command to figure out what distro i'm running? [02:09] not really its juust an ip putty does pretty much everything else [02:09] http://www.cs.toronto.edu/support/remote_ssh_tunneling_windows_samba.html [02:09] quick everyone go here and vote for lazyforlife2006 (http://www.misterpoll.com/polls/317941) when it asks for zuneboards username make something up.. thank you everyone.. (and don't do !offtopic i know it is) [02:09] thats a good tutorial fo this [02:09] so anyone using webmin? [02:09] iCEifer, try emptying your trashcan also use the system monitor to check the partition usage (4th tab) [02:09] right, but i can't get it to those computers without internet?

And I can't get putty to the computers without internet [02:10] im running ubuntu, trying to install another distro that i burned but wont boot from cd? do i need to do something as root so it will bootup [02:11] i have sound in my headphones, but not in my speakers. how do i fix this? i already checked out !sound, but found it unhelpful [02:11] Hi room, has anyone setup bluetooth via usb adapter with ubuntu (7.04) ? [02:11] hello, is there any way of adding the power manager icon in the toolbar of gnome without adding the notification area? [02:11] ozzloy: think you mixer has separate controls for headphones and speakers out... also, are the speakers amplified? if not, perhaps your soundcard doesn't have an amplified output. [02:11] dsnyders, is it worth installing ? [02:11] heatmzzr, if your new distro also makes it's own bootmenu you'll be fine it should add ubuntu and any other OS to it, if not , you might have to make an entry for the new distro in your current menu.lst file to boot it [02:11] mnoir: ah, now I get it. What about "1,$s/^$/
/" [02:12] hey guys how can i figure out if i'm running fiesty or gutsy? [02:12] Hi there, I have a 15 gig unallocated space on a 40gb hdd with the rest going on NTFS, the Ubuntu Setup cannot seem to find it, and manual is a bit hard for me... Can anyone help [02:12] Pelo, looks like the trash can thing helped, thanks :) [02:12] Hey, what program do you guys use to get pod casts ? [02:12] Suren: try this http://troy.jdmz.net/rsync/index.html [02:12] !install [02:12] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[02:12] Pelo, it wont install, it wont spin up? are you saying i need to add something? [02:13] ozzloy: try looking at the output of "amixer" (pastebin if you want) [02:13] Sarkie, from the live cd desktop, select system > admin > gnome partiton manager, clear the space you ahvwe alocated for ubuntu , just delete any existing partiton [02:13] oldude67, I find it helpful for most things. Of course, it's only as good as its modules. [02:13] LjL: the speakers are laptop speakers. not powered [02:13] Blair, yes that's what i need to do [02:13] good [02:13] Sarkie, delete any existing partiton in that space, leave the ntfs one [02:13] ok thanks [02:13] Blair, but i can't get it to work? [02:13] use it live it love [02:13] Pelo: It is empty, that the thing [02:13] whats the prob? [02:13] ozzloy: have you tried pumping up the volume very, very high and seeing if you can hear anything at all (even very faint) from the speakers? that would show that your soundcard's output isn't amplified [02:13] oldude67, For example, it's great for setting up apache, but openldap has some problems [02:14] iCEifer, you'll need to boot the live cd if you want to resize your /home partiton [02:14] But ubutun setup, asks me "do i want to make my NTFS drive, and alter it, or use the full drives [02:14] ah i see [02:14] Is there a command to find out my cpu's architechture? [02:14] Pelo, okay, thanks again [02:14] foug: cat /proc/cpuinfo [02:15] oldude67, I would recommend that you give it a spin. Especially if you're not entirely comfortable on the command line. [02:15] Suren: whats the prob [02:15] Sarkie, make a spartiton for swap that is about 2x your Ram and make the rest into an ext3 partiton, that will make it easier for your to use the manual partitoning mode when you get to it in the installer, just skip to the bit whre you specify where what goes where, select the swap one for /swap and the otehr one for / and proceed [02:15] Tramp: ah - that will do part of the job, but stripping out the hard returns on most of the lines requires eliminating the x'0a' so I gotta match that as well [02:15] Blair: i get the error "connection unexpectedly closed. Error in rsync protocol data stream [02:15] LjL: hmmm, well you see, I am trying to download gentoo but I am not sure what to get. I don't know if my computer is x86 or not [02:15] dsnyders, i suck on the command line [02:16] kk Pelo I'll write that down, and ill try booting back into ubuntu 5 mins [02:16] hello, is there any way of adding the power manager icon in the toolbar of gnome without adding the notification area? [02:16] foug, even if it is amd64, x86 will work, and will probably give you fewer headaches. [02:16] Blair: but when i remove the '-e ssh' switch, it works perfectly [02:16] When I boot up Ubuntu the graphical "progress bar" doesn't show up... the screen is just black till it loads... any ideas? [02:16] LjL: kk thank you, i tried using the ppc but it isn't working. What is PPC? [02:16] please help me ,i got this problem "could not find image:linux" while doing network installing [02:17] windos side or linux side?

[02:20] um nope [02:20] anyone ever hear of a mac style copy /paste key config in ubuntu? [02:20] do you have ssh install on linux [02:20] LjL: highlighting it and hitting up does nothing, m does nothing too [02:21] bebo, look in the the available pannel applets in right click , add to panel, if none seems available to do what you want, go into synaptic an do a search for panel others might be available for install [02:21] i'm using "rsync.exe -avz -e ssh suren@10.1.1.3::surenbackup "cygdrive/c" [02:21] oldude67, you may just need a good samba howto instead.

[02:22] so ssh must be installed [02:22] Quick question, a friend of mine has two laptops. On 7.04, everything was smooth. However, on 7.10, it installed the i386 kernel and none of the apps will install.

[02:25] you need an acount on your linux machine that has no password so you can login to do the transfet [02:26] dsnyders: you'll need some serious compression ... and it may not fit ... so I guess you're going to have to split it among multiple DVDs [02:26] it has acmpci.c - and a make file and what not.. it wants to know about the location of the /usr/linux location [02:26] yes [02:26] .tar.gz [02:26] Are there any known problems with Ubuntu and the Athlon-M processor?

[02:30] LjL, ask him, but I think he is ok now , he just needed to navigate to the correct folder apparently [02:30] RB2: unfortunately, later on in the boot it hangs ...

I have tried a few of the things I found in the forums but have not had any luck getting rid of it, the machine boots fine, has anyone experienced this? is there a fix ? [02:32] I'm on a live cd right now. how can I repair it? [02:32] thanks nickrud [02:32] Pelo: I can't play sound. The media players crash. [02:33] wers: what kind of video card do you have? lspci | grep -i vga will tell yuo [02:33] !x | wers [02:33] wers: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [02:33] ozzloy: uhm i'm not sure, try « amixer set Mix toggle », i can't remember the right syntax [02:33] nickrud: I never had this problem before [02:33] wers, boot the recovery mode and type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , select the correct driver or vesa if yours does not exist, for everything else go wit the default, then restart the comp [02:33] okay. [02:33] Tetracomm, what apps have you tried ? [02:33] wers: this is a new install that you haven't done, so you start at the beginning [02:33] LjL: yeah, i'm looking at amixer -h and it's cryptic to me [02:34] *done before [02:34] the weird thing is that, I have installed ubuntu for more than 20 times already [02:34] Amarok, Rhythmbox, and Frostwire. [02:34] LjL: oh that worked to turn it on [02:34] wers, 7.10? [02:34] I have been doing this for a year now and it's the first time i encountered this [02:34] quick easy question: how do i modify what's in my menu bar? [02:34] gutsy [02:34] Tetracomm, what type of files are you trying to play ? [02:34] still no sound [02:34] FLAC. [02:34] wers: no, the first time you've installed gutsy on this machine? [02:34] i don't feel like rtfm, heh [02:35] mattholimeau, right click add to pannel [02:35] Pelo: It also crashed when I tried to open a wav. [02:35] LjL: still no sound, alsamixer doesn't let me increase the volume on "Mix" [02:35] mattholimeau: right click menu, edit. [02:35] Pelo: and play an MP3 in Frostwire. [02:35] i mean what's in the like applications/places/system menu [02:35] On an Athlon M, what should the architecture be? [02:35] ozzloy: i don't know what else. i assume you're connecting the speakers to a *different* socket than the headphones? ("Mix" has no volume, it's just a switch) [02:35] Tetracomm, did you add the proper codecs ? [02:35] oh [02:35] nickrud: I have installed ubuntu on this machine for more than 20 times already [02:35] that is what i'm looking for... thanks! [02:35] Yes, it used to work. [02:35] I reformat often [02:35] wers, you still haven't said if it was gutsy. [02:36] Tetracomm, what have you done since the last time it worked ? [02:36] nickrud: gutsy [02:36] LjL: no, not external speakers, just the laptop built-in speakers [02:36] I guess i'll just sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:36] wers: then start at the beginning. Check your video card, then check the xorg.conf [02:36] LjL: up until about 20 minutes ago i could just unplug the headphones and the laptop speakers would start [02:36] ok [02:36] anyone knows how ubuntu auto mounts removeable media? [02:36] brb. i'll boot again [02:37] LjL: i think it has to do with me suspending [02:37] Chris|, udev rules for events [02:37] does anyone have any information on the No resume image message from kinit ? I have tied several things and nothing as gotten rid of it so far. [02:37] ozzloy: ah... then i suspect it's hardware failure, i.e. the little thingie that detects whether headphones are plugged in or not has got stuck. [02:37] ok ty [02:37] LjL: i think maybe i suspended w/ headphones in, resumed w/ them unplugged. oh i hope it's not a hardware problem [02:38] ozzloy: well then reboot, if it keeps doesn't that, it's not it... [02:38] * nickrud thinks Pelo likes cryptically accurate comments [02:38] but it seems unlikely to me [02:38] LjL: aw, i wanted to avoid rebooting and actually fix the problem [02:38] does anyone here know how to setup bluetooth via usb in ubuntu? [02:38] ozzloy, reboot [02:38] cuz if rebooting fixes the symptom now, i still have no guarantee it won't keep happening [02:38] fine fine, brb [02:39] mattgyver83, try checking in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org [02:39] ozzloy: you can fix the problem later if you find out that rebooting does help [02:39] anyone got eclipse europa installed on ubuntu ? [02:39] ozzloy: but rebooting will help you diagnose what the problem is [02:39] schnoowork: me [02:39] hey guys how can i upgrade from dapper to gusty? [02:39] chump: Dapper->Edgy->Feisty->Gutsy [02:40] chump: you dont [02:40] chump: you'd have to upgrade thru edgy and feisty to get to gutsy, a reinstall would be faster, see the following for a trick that will help [02:40] chump: not directly... [02:40] this might be a bit tricky, i'm running ubuntu base system in a VM, and i got another partition mounted but my external hdd wont mount, which it should [02:40] !clone | chump [02:40] chump: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [02:40] chump: I suggest either reinstalling or waiting for 8.04 [02:40] nickrud, was there a guide you followed seeing only callisto is in the packages [02:40] mmm 8.04 [02:40] hi [02:40] anyone know how i add or remove the menu items, or where i modify what's on "places"? [02:40] nah this is a fresh install no reason to clone [02:40] Chris|, does your vm have the usb drive setup in it ? [02:40] yes [02:40] help: downloaded a ubuntu iso, when I restart the machine, it doesnt load the cd? what am i doing wrong? [02:41] i have it setup all correctly [02:41] schnoowork: I downloaded the c development version since I wanted the smallest download, then added the web & php & svn stuff using the update manager [02:41] heatmzzr: make sure bios are set to boot from cd [02:41] Chris|, I would suggest you try asking about this in the vm's chanel, this is mostlikely not a problem with ubuntu [02:41] it is idleone [02:41] mattholimeau: system->preferences->main menu [02:41] Pelo: I played a FLAC in Xfmedia, and Xfmedia stopped responding when I tried to close it. I [02:41] well you see, i just built a system off ubuntu, i wasnt sure if i didnt have something installed or not [02:41] heatmzzr: you burned cd as bootable and not as a data cd? [02:41] Pelo: XMMS plaus MP3s fine. [02:41] chump: then for sure do a reinstall if you have the bandwidth to get the iso for gutsy [02:41] No [02:42] Sorry. [02:42] heatmzzr: did you test the md5 before you burned the cd? [02:42] Pelo: XMMS plays WAVs fine. === david919 is now known as soshite [02:42] robdig: that's where i am. it doesn't let me edit the places menu, nor add or delete menu's themselves, just submenus and menu items [02:42] no jack [02:42] but.. how come it mounted a sda1 and not sdb1? [02:42] Tetracomm, try reinstalling the gstreamer0.10 packages [02:42] Pelo: XMMS is playing the MP3 that Frostwire won't. [02:43] robdig: well - i found how to create new menus... really just looking for how to modify the "places" menu [02:43] heatmzzr: If you have the system set to boot from cd and it does not get to any screen... I would test the download.. if you are a windows user you and use the nero tool (freeware) or one of the other freeware ones [02:43] !md5 [02:43] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [02:43] Chris|, manually mounting with mount doesn't work? [02:44] Tetracomm, frostwire has some issues starting files since the last couple of version, I wouldn'T worry tomuch about that one [02:44] mattholimeau: the places menu is controlled by nautilus, you would add/remove places there [02:44] Pelo: sudo apt-get install gstreamer? [02:44] well - no, that wasn't how to create a menu - that was how to create a submenu i found [02:44] hrm sorry Pelo to be a bother, but i suppose it just took a long while to mount, i should of waited a min, same thing happens in a xp vm [02:44] Chipmaster, this is a versual machine [02:44] Pelo: Totem won't start either. [02:44] exit [02:44] quit [02:44] ah [02:44] and now Amarok won't start. [02:44] anyone have a suggestion where I can find out about the newest latest greatest ubuntu packages / .deb files [02:44] adavid: /quit [02:44] Tetracomm, menu synatpic package manager, search gstreamer0.10 , install or reisntall everything [02:44] packages.ubuntu.com just lists everything [02:44] Tetracomm, can you start totem on it's own ? [02:44] anyone know about step down transformers (no not the transformers from the movie) and why they would be automatically switching off after they build up heat (resistance) odly it only takes about 10 minutes? any ideas? [02:45] Jack using ubuntu, downloaded 8.04 and cant get it to spin up cd burned the iso to disk. im forgetting something stupid im sure. [02:45] !hardy | heatmzzr [02:45] heatmzzr: 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 [02:45] does anyone have any information on the No resume image message from kinit when booting ? [02:45] Chipmaster out of curiousity, what is the command to manually mount a drive? [02:45] Pelo: No. [02:45] soshite: off topic, but they probably have devices that shut them down when they get hot [02:45] soshite: You are drawing too much from them [02:45] sweet - got the places control under control [02:45] LjL: ok, so same situation after reboot [02:45] Tetracomm, you migth want to consider a clean install [02:45] nickrud: yeah [02:45] Chris| mount (-t filesystem type) /dev/sdxN /mount/point [02:46] Pelo: How do I do that? [02:46] LjL: T_T any ideas on troubleshoting hardware? [02:46] ozzloy, the thing is stuck. i couldn't swear on it, but i could bet on it [02:46] ah [02:46] soshite: so either Jack_Sparrow is right, or the devices are getting old and out of calibration [02:46] ty [02:46] Tetracomm, that means reinstall ubuntu from scratch [02:46] heatmzzr: Start with verifying the iso file.. then the cd itself also burn very slow [02:46] Which architecture should be used for an Athlon M processor? [02:46] Tetracomm, just backup your /home folder so you can recover your data and settings [02:46] Pelo: Select everything that says gstreamer in Synaptic? [02:46] LjL: i jiggled the headphone as i pulled it out. et voila! [02:46] Jack_Sparrow: thing is it says it takes down 240 volts down to 100 volts step down, it worked before but lately its been giving the crap, is it possible its just loose soldering or is it going to be more than that [02:46] RB2, i386 [02:46] ok jack thanks [02:46] RB2: 386 [02:46] LjL: thanks [02:46] Chris| there are a bunch of other options as well if that doesn't work all under 'man mount' [02:46] ozzloy: that might do it, it'll probably happen again though [02:46] Pelo, No I don't want to go through an Ubuntu reinstallation. [02:46] Tetracomm, gstreamer0.10 [02:46] anyone know how to add a folder to the "applications places system" menu? [02:47] ok [02:47] LjL: yeah, at least i know what the problem is though [02:47] or how to make it not show any of those? [02:47] LjL: thanks! [02:47] Pelo / IdleOne, So most applications will not install then? (i.e., Amarok, etc.) [02:47] mattholimeau: in the file manager, drag a folder over to places [02:47] mattholimeau: use bookmarks in nautilus [02:47] well its all good, it took a while for virtualbox to mount my external i suppose [02:47] Pelo: gstreamer tools? I don't see anything that says gstreamer alone. [02:47] RB2: why wouldnt they? [02:47] When I plug in my headphones they're detected and the sound goes through them... but it also continues to go through my main speakers... I ran alsamixer in the terminal, but the "headphones" option has to 0's... and no slider to adjust the volume... anyone have any idea how to fix this? [02:47] soshite: This is not the channel for that offtopic. But a loose connection can do it.. or you have overheated the thermal breaker too many times and it is shot and cutting out early [02:47] in xp or other [02:48] *two [02:48] isn't there a website out there where the latest ubuntu packages are getting listed? [02:48] god damn and if i stop it from cutting out i risk surging [02:48] Hi, I'm having sobre problems with GNOME that keeps complaining about problems with setuid/setgid programs, can someone help me ? [02:48] dimeotane: what do you mean "latest"? [02:48] Tetracomm, I mean all the package that start with gstreamer0.10 , that should get most file format covered , [02:48] ok ok i get it not on topic, but the ubuntu folk are just so helpful i cant help it [02:48] :) [02:48] dimeotane: ubuntu packages don't change unless there are security fixes or fixes to extremely serious bugs [02:48] soshite: lol, flattery will get you smiles [02:49] RB2, you asked for the architecture to use with the athlon what does that have to do with amarok and such ? [02:49] LjL... if an author just wrote a new IRC program for ubuntu in a .deb file... freeware just released.. [02:49] IdleOne, I'm working with a family member who has two notebooks. On 7.04, everything was fine. On 7.10, when attempting to install apps, he gets an error about an unsupported architecture (i386).

(needs good HTML support) [02:49] I'm trying to download the 'alternate cd' image for ubuntu 7.1 i386, but the file appears to be identical to the Live CD version. ? [02:49] Pelo: Ok [02:50] i want to make a new menu that's next to applications on the menu bar [02:50] soshite: You can cool the transformer with extra fans or whatever to test... Are you in the US? if so why are you not just pulling off one leg. [02:50] guys, my touch pad doesn't work anymore after I sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:50] pjwalsh, how can you tell ?

When I booted from the resulting CD, I got the Live behavior. Went backed and ran cksum against both downloads, and they are identical. [02:51] with sudo [02:51] Jack_Sparrow: nah just got home from japan, so japan is same as US 100-110v i believe however australia is a riddiculus 240V [02:51] Edwardxp: a good general version is tar xvf filename, the z is not necessary. Makes it easy to unpack various version [02:51] Edwardxp: are you *sure* you need to do that? to compile modules, you should normally only need the *headers*, not the kernel source [02:51] IdleOne: thanks anyway. neither do i, heh [02:51] soshite: /j #ubuntu-offtopic [02:51] soshite: Can you please move this conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic, since it isnt Ubuntu related.

[02:52] what mouse port should I use for my touch pad /dev/input/mice, /dev/psaux/, /dev/ttyS0, /dev/tts0, or /dev/gpmdata? [02:52] pelo: not sure if you saw my response. The two files are identical, according to cksum. [02:52] * Pelo isn't 1337 enougth for this crowd [02:53] this is probably the best place to start... so...

[02:53] no [02:53] mattholimeau: right click on the panel ( emtpy space ) add to panel> scroll down some and add custom menu [02:53] pjwalsh, you got the wrong file [02:53] pelo: no [02:53] mattholimeau: sorry Menu Bar [02:53] pjwalsh, the iso for the alt cd will say so in the name [02:54] theCarpenter, not that I know, depending on how you modified it , there should be a backup in the same folder [02:54] mattholimeau: ok maybe not [02:54] mattholimeau: you would have to recode the menu bar application .... [02:55] Pelo: I'm just grabbing the download from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download, and I'm checking the 'Check here if you need the alternate CD box.' ...

[02:56] pjwalsh, hold on [02:56] IdleOne, np. [02:56] what version of xorg does ubuntu use?

[02:57] i'm getting that "aumix: SOUND_MIXER_READ_DEVMASK" error whenever i try running aumix. every post i find regarding this error doesn't make much sense to me. anyone know how to fix it?

[02:58] Berto: Remember to remove the old version first [02:59] Edwardxp: to just copy the contents and not the directory name, use cp -a /dir1/* dir2/ [02:59] Does anyone know where I can get 8.04 beta? [02:59] !hardy > Ryoma (Ryoma, see the private message from Ubotu) [02:59] hi [02:59] Ryoma: and it's definitely an alpha [03:00] RB2, I had this issue with my aunts computer, but her's was a very old, presasrio, duron, 700 mhz with 64 megs of ram , this mgith be related , machien is just too old, mind you in her case it was mostly games === tritium_ is now known as tritium [03:00] my swap keeps disappearing. i think the UUID of the swap keeps changing for some reason... [03:00] Oh okay. I was in IRC earlier and I saw someone mention 8.04 alpha (sorry) and so i was interested [03:00] pelo: I'm grabbing the 'alternate' file from releases.ubuntu.com/7.1 now, and it seems like the correct one (says 'alternate' in the name) but it seems to me the main download page is broken. [03:00] will the alpha version upgrade to regular? [03:00] pjwalsh, try on here http://mirrors.rit.edu/ubuntu-releases/gutsy/ === crtjstr` is now known as crtjstr [03:00] Ryoma: who knows. it might break completely at some stage. [03:01] Pelo, ahh, thanks. It's just strange that it was fine w/ 7.04. That's a huge regression. [03:01] Ryoma: yes, but it wouldn't be advisable to expect that to be rock solid, I usually would install the final after playing with betas [03:01] oh okay. [03:01] RB2, I had installed xubuntu 7.04 on my aunts comp [03:01] Ryoma: and when I didn't, I did eventually anyway, something was always broken a little [03:01] ok, I just installed the new ATI 7.12 drivers. Only problem, is I can't enable 3D effects.the new drivers support AIGLX, so whats the problem? [03:01] anyone know why I can't see the whole sentence [03:02] isn't it kind of a bug if the swap partition randomly becomes unavailable between reboots? [03:02] Pelo, How would I file this bug? It's a pretty wide net to cast without knowing the exact culprit. [03:02] boselecta: you would think so === dan__ is now known as htmljunkie [03:02] pelo: that seems to be working. While I'm here, where would be the right place to ask this question: how do I get drivers loaded for my nvidia 8800 GT board for 7.10? [03:02] RB2, I have idea, this is over my head I'm sorry to say [03:02] Pelo: I just reinstalled gstreamer, testing. [03:02] Jack_Sparrow, so does this getdeb.net have a repository or do they just make you download debs and use apt-get? [03:02] Where can I download an 8.04 ISO? [03:02] Pelo, Thanks for the info! [03:02] thanks a lot guys! [03:03] !hardy> Hammer89 [03:03] what would happen if i deleted my fstab [03:03] Berto: you have to dl the three debs.. and manually install them [03:03] theCarpenter: you wouldn't be able to boot [03:03] pjwalsh, Envy is a great graphic installer for the nvidia binary drivers [03:03] theCarpenter: or complete the boot, rather [03:03] nickrud: thanks [03:03] pjwalsh, once you have installed the alt-cd you will get the desktop gui with a vesa driver, go in the admin menu to the restricted driver app, it should let you install the driver automaticlay, if not , come back here and we'll give you instrctions fro the binairy driver [03:03] Pelo: Totem still won't work, help? [03:03] !envy [03:03] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [03:04] Tetracomm, reisntall totem [03:04] Jack_Sparrow, that's so much work and won't give me updates!!! :) [03:04] i want to make my fn+switch display button work by using randr, can anyone tell me how i might be able to set that up? [03:04] Chipmaster: Great at breaking systems [03:04] Tetracomm, from synaptic [03:04] !broadcom [03:04] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [03:04] ok, I just installed the new ATI 7.12 drivers. Only problem, is I can't enable 3D effects.the new drivers support AIGLX, so whats the problem? [03:04] pelo, chipmaster: thanks for the help [03:04] haha, alright sorry always worked for me [03:04] Berto: It took me all of 5 minutes to install.. yes I upgraded mine here [03:04] * Pelo is off to bed , work tomorrow [03:04] g'night folks [03:04] Jack_Sparrow, i know i was kidding, but it woudl be cool if they'd let me know of updates. I guess i can do that through sourceforge though [03:05] Hi all, just installed ubuntu, but can't do any upgrades cos i keep getting " Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [03:05] 8800 is a great card... it is worth the effort [03:05] Pelo, Rhytmbox still won't work.

[03:05] can't see it === Jannitax is now known as Jannita [03:06] yeah [03:06] i am [03:06] if i deleted my fstab, it couldnt boot properly, etc, could i regenerate the fstab at CLI? [03:06] Berto: To be honest, I didnt see much dfference [03:06] I have a friend who is having trouble with his broadcom wireless card. It fires up and connects to his network, but his speeds are limited. I got no help from the wiki. Any advice? [03:06] where's the place to configure LDAP settings in Evolution? [03:06] theCarpenter: yes, it can be done from the live cd [03:06] Jack_Sparrow, yeah well i'm having issues that require going down from 64-bit to 32-bit, so i figure i'll get 2.3.1 while at it [03:06] SArkie tried rebooting to remove lock? [03:06] can it be done without the livecd? [03:06] yup, its the same [03:07] Berto: getdeb is just the place to get what you need [03:07] nickrud: Meh... the download links are 404ing me [03:07] omg its working [03:07] Jack_Sparrow, yep already got it. hopefully my problems will be solved by 32-bit. thansk! [03:07] I told it to download in the background [03:07] np [03:07] so it has been [03:07] meh [03:07] :D [03:07] silly error message [03:07] Sarkie: sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock [03:07] theCarpenter: do you get to the cli? [03:07] Pelo: Audacity won't run. [03:08] IdleOne: It's ok now, its because it was running in the background downloading the updates [03:08] nickrud: i'm exploring options right now; i haven't explored it fully [03:08] Pelo: restarting.

It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs [03:08] idleone isn't it dangerous to remove the lock without checking for that situation first? [03:08] theCarpenter: having never actually done that (I've done things as catastrophic though :) my initial take is you couldn't get to the cli [03:08] could somebody tell me the reasons of a "Destination host unreachable" error when pinging another computer ? [03:09] sacul: is it? [03:09] so OK my swap is listed in fstab and the UUID actually points to the correct partition... but for some reason the swap isn't turned on upon booting and i can't activate it via swapon -a. any ideas?

[03:09] Sarkie, ah ok, I got you now, but I can ping it from XP without problems [03:09] Jack_Sparrow, how can i tell dpkg --install to allow my 32-bit deb file onto my 64-bit system? It is saying the architecture doesn't match. Is this possible? [03:09] well it can't ping out [03:09] IdleOne I believe you can screw yourself up pretty bad if two package managers start accessing things at once since they both have root [03:10] anyone?? I'm working in a CLI and I need to install berkeley DB, but I'm having trouble downloading it via ftp and aptitude doesn't recognize "berkeley" as a package [03:10] sacul: they won't, one will have dpkg locked [03:10] Berto: Actually others here know that..

[03:15] boselecta: did you only have to do it once? If so, possibly the swap partition got corrupted somehow [03:15] nickrud: #ubuntu-mozillateam works on the firefox packages for ubuntu and a few other packages. [03:15] nickrud: no it's something i've been having to do routinely [03:16] IdleOne: um, I think the name is self-explanatory :) [03:16] :P [03:16] boselecta: I would file a bug on bugs.ubuntu.com , that would definitely qualify in my mind [03:17] nickrud: what I meant to say is that it isnt just another #ubuntu... it is an important #ubuntu- . not to minimize the importance of other channels [03:18] ok, I just installed the new ATI 7.12 drivers. Only problem, is I can't enable 3D effects.the new drivers support AIGLX, so whats the problem? Do I need to install something else? [03:18] IdleOne: oh, I wouldn't consider any unimportant, it's just that the teams have grown to the point that they need their own channels. A good thing [03:18] nickrud: yeah that is a good thing :) === dan__ is now known as htmljunkie [03:19] Condoulo: take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log , my suspicion is that you have the kernel modules for the ubuntu fglrx loaded [03:19] Question: Does anybody have any experience getting an old SB16 ISA card working? [03:19] hi all i have ubuntu on a thinkpad r40 when ever i try to play a media file i can only hear sound, no video though [03:19] any ideas [03:19] what are the commands for db4.4-util (AKA Berkeley)? db_load doesn't work to load a database. [03:20] nickrud- ah. I thought I have blacklisted the module. [03:20] okay guys i need your help [03:20] Condoulo: the log will tell you if it is [03:20] whats a really good c++ IDE for gnome? [03:20] nickrud- where in the log? [03:20] nickrud: i think it's something to do with hibernate [03:20] like, the end all top dog C++ IDE [03:20] Condoulo: somewhere in there there will be a big notice about kernel mismatch [03:21] so where can I download the Ubuntu _source_ ? [03:21] boselecta: I hibernate with no problem, or have been. (tries) [03:21] $ grep -P foo [03:21] grep: The -P option is not supported [03:21] why? [03:21] nickrud- I see nothing about kernel mismatch. [03:22] gutsy [03:22] grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1 [03:22] i will try hibernate and see what happens [03:22] will the KDE4 effects work with the fglrx driver? [03:22] Skapare Isn't the source available as a package if it's not already installed? === dan__ is now known as htmljunkie [03:23] Question: Nobody with experience debugging ISA sound cards? I think I'm mostly there -- the right modules seem to be listed in 'lsmod' output, but there's no sound. [03:23] bazhang&nickrud: thanks [03:23] played with the mixer yet, FactTech? [03:23] sometimes the volume is at zero. [03:23] but that's my only contribution. [03:24] PLSshowyourhelp: no worries [03:24] Ola,baixei um joguinho e ele veio em pacote tar.bz2...como faco pra instalar..?? [03:24] j85wilson Thanks. I did try turning up the volume, but the mixer doesn't seem to be attached to the device. [03:24] boselecta: no, everything fine here [03:24] How can I tell what video card is in my machine? [03:24] Tanokai, should show up in lspci [03:24] Tanokia Try 'lspci' and look for the right entry. [03:24] from command line [03:25] Tanokai 'lspci -v' should provide additional information. [03:25] Flannel: hey, you there? [03:26] Flannel: I solved my problem from last night, and it's kinda embarassing. should have been hdd(0,0) instead of (1,0)... i have no idea why it changed. [03:26] j85wilson, Am I correct in thinking that if I see things like 'snd_sb_common' in the lsmod output, that means the kernel detected the card? [03:26] Flannel: but thanks for all your help, though. it got me thinking in the right direction [03:26] Pelo: I restarted and everything is working perfectly again. [03:26] anyone? [03:26] Hi. What was the command/app to test mount inputs? [03:26] yeah hibernate is broken. [03:26] FactTech: that would be one massively huge package to hold all that source code [03:26] FactTech: necessary but not sufficient, I think (sb_common that is). [03:26] you need some other snd_ modules as well [03:27] maybe? [03:27] FactTech: or are you assuming I just want source for only the kernel? [03:27] j85wilson, There are lots, for the OPL devices and MPU401 and such... [03:27] Skapare Yes. [03:27] will the KDE4 effects work with the fglrx driver? [03:27] FactTech: actually what I'm looking for is the .config file they use to build the kernel [03:27] if they are the modules that you think correspond to your card, then yes, that should be correct. [03:27] Why is it that when I'm typing, sometimes the focus will switch to wherever my mouse pointer is pointing? [03:28] FactTech: IIRC, with ISA you have to play around with IRQ numbers and all that? [03:28] Skapare Oh. I really don't know much about kernel building. [03:28] how to install to a box without CD nor floppy nor net-boot? like, by installing to hard drive, from another/running linux [03:28] nickrud: does your hibernate work? [03:28] I've been told that SATA is hotswappable, though hotswapping internal drives always felt wrong to me. Nevertheless, I'm in a LiveCD: I can just connect the SATA power and data cables and Linux will detect it? [03:28] hyyhh [03:28] What was the command/app to test mount inputs? [03:28] FactTech: I'm trying to fix up some kernel init issues on a new machine ... I can't get Ubuntu to finish the kernel probes [03:28] hi how can i run tftp server on ubuntu [03:28] boselecta: yes it did. No problems with swap either [03:28] FactTech: I'm trying to rig up an alternate kernel [03:28] j85wilson, Yeah... that was stage one. :) I think I'm past all that since it looks like the right modules are loaded. The issue *may* be something with the connection to higher layers like ALSA, OSS, etc, but I can't quite get it. [03:28] i have installed by apt-get install tftp [03:28] Shakoare: it should be included in the kernel source packages in the repos. I think ubuntu has it at least. [03:29] Skapare I am way too neophyte for that kind of stuff. :) [03:29] Redf1sh: but how do I find that? is there a URL? [03:29] FactTech: I think I've exhausted my knowledge of the subject. [03:29] j85wilson, Got it. Thanks for trying. [03:29] Redf1sh: note that Ubuntu itself is not running, yet [03:29] nickrud: so my hibernate experience is that it spins the disk and then eventually powers off. it doesn't wake up on keypresses, and when i press the power button it reboots freshly. [03:29] np [03:29] and the swap is gone again. [03:29] #ubuntu-es [03:29] what do I need to do to get a grep that supports the -P flag? [03:30] boselecta: yes, that sounds like a bug. Not sure what to file it under, though. [03:30] Skapare: right, you should be able to get it via ftp. I'll see if i can find you a link. [03:30] i have a question [03:30] Hank_: ask, don't ask to ask. [03:30] Skapare: Tough you could always download a newer kernel and build that too. [03:30] hey i have a rather wierd problem... i reinstalled ( from source) alsa to fix my mic problem.. now after restarting nothing's working and /dev/snd doesn't even exist [03:30] where do you get ubuntu for mac [03:30] which channel for hardy support? [03:30] Guys, can I just connect a SATA drive while the PC is on and it will be detected and added as sdb or whatever?

[03:31] Redf1sh: I have every 2.6 kernel (even 2.6.23.13) ... but I need a configuration starting point to mimic Ubuntu as close as possible [03:31] Redf1sh: I was hoping maybe the source had the .config [03:32] where do you get ubuntu for mac [03:32] Redf1sh: it should be in the bootable CD maybe in /boot but I can't get at it [03:32] Skapare: I think it does? Though I could be wrong. [03:32] Skapare: the config that was used is in /boot/config ... oh [03:32] hey...has anyone ever had the problem with Ubuntu where it won't use the Swap partition ? [03:32] nickrud: can you access it from yours? [03:32] Hank_ What model of Mac? [03:32] hola [03:33] Skapare: yes, I can put it up on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [03:33] I'm look for a distro that will run well on a 900 mhz 256mb ram laptop any suggestions [03:33] quiero entrar a ubuntu en español [03:33] Skapare: it's for the 64bit version though [03:33] runnerjosh Xubuntu [03:33] ok I created this folder on my desktop as root and now I don't know how to delete it [03:33] nickrud: I would need it as a file, not a decorated paste [03:33] Skapare: I onlhave 64 bit configs tooy [03:33] wow i cannot type [03:33] Skapare: just copy the text box below [03:33] where is the default audio directory in ubuntu? is there a command i can type to find this?

I have a pair of 2.8 GHz Opterons [03:34] no, but it looks to me like an hdd issue [03:35] MdL054_: I usually see that when I break something, but it could be unable to find you drive or missing drivers for something important. [03:35] because it keeps giving me the same messages about my hdd [03:35] thanks facttech [03:35] Skapare: its worked well for me, the only issue I've had is java in browsers, don't miss it. [03:35] anything you can suggest to start my search? [03:35] runnerjosh No sweat. I rebuild machines with poorer specs than that, and they run OK. [03:35] MdL054_: Does the kernel mention some kind of disk (probably sda1 or hda1) during boot? [03:35] i tried checking dmesg but it only shows my current boot [03:35] yes it mentions sdb [03:35] there is this folder on my desktop now and it says I don't have permission to delete it [03:35] actually mentions all my drives [03:36] over and over and over [03:36] MdL054_: I think dmesg gets gzipped into older copies in /var/log, but maybe only after a boot. [03:36] MdL054_: Ohh that is special. [03:36] I'm not joking, I don't know how to delete the folder it says I don't have permission [03:36] how do i check privileges from ftp in the console? [03:36] yea i checked there too but unfortinately it only shows my 2.6.17 boots [03:36] same with my kern logs [03:36] can some1 tell me where to get ubuntu for my imac? [03:37] minor emergency. i ned to clear up disk space fast. where is the apt-get cache so I can delete it?

(or is that you) [03:38] :) [03:38] read my mind [03:38] that's not me [03:38] MdL054_: What kind of disk do you have?

[03:41] boselecta: not sure, I stopped watching the kernel much in the 2.4 series, I just use what I'm given these days [03:41] to get up to 7.10 i had to install 5.10 and upgrade each step of the way [03:41] MdL054_: You might need to pass some "magic" boot options as well. [03:41] ok how do you get into the desktop directory in terminal? [03:41] noapci and the like. [03:42] this is the default ubuntu kernel, the one i made has no difference in result [03:42] nickrud: thanks ... took me a while to get it saved ... that paste site names the files ending in "/" in the URL and that seems to confuse lynx [03:42] hey everyone! [03:42] MdL054_: huh, it sounds like your disks got unsupported somehow. [03:42] hey all isnt gparted able to resize partitions? and w/ntfs install resize windows too? having a bit of a problem doing it... [03:42] hey friend [03:42] this happens in every install as well, ive tried many different installs [03:42] MdL054_: Or controller maybe. What is the model? [03:43] exactly what it sounds like huh :( [03:43] anyone know any trouble shooting tips for ffmpeg? i'm getting an error and i've googled it and i'm not sure what to do with it? [03:43] let me get the specifics real quick ill brb [03:43] ok [03:43] nickrud: is that the way it comes from ubuntu? alphabetized? [03:43] MdL054_: lshw should probably give you oodles of info. [03:43] Skapare: yup, just like that. A lot of it is autogenerated [03:44] MdL054_: lshw | less and seearch (press / ) for IDE [03:44] nickrud: I see ... I need the options organized by section so I can see the processor type section :-( [03:44] Skapare: and I assume you're not ready for make menuconfig yet [03:44] basically it has all the specifics for the output, but it's saying "ffmpeg2pass -0.log: no such file or directory" [03:44] Hey, would anyone foresee any problems with setting the ubuntu home folder to be the same as the vista home folder? [03:44] Skapare: If youve run make oldconfig, you can run make menuconfig to get it broken down for you in a gui-ish thing. [03:44] skyhook: oodles and oodles of problems [03:45] i'm using vive..installed ffmpeg from source to include aac and i264 [03:45] nickrud: the problem I run into is when I try to use my own kernel, it says the CPU numbers are 67, 68, 69, 70 ... when they should be 0, 1, 2, 3 ... but the Ubuntu kernel gets past that part OK [03:45] nickrud: what kind of problems? [03:45] Redf1sh: I'm not running GUI ... I'll try the old config and see if that re-arranges it back [03:46] description: IDE interface [03:46] product: 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) IDE Controller [03:46] Skapare: Its in ncurses, so text based, but has a nifty menu. [03:46] Skapare: lol, you must have missed my comment about following the kernel. When the stable branch became a development branch, I decided to leave it to the developers. My last kernel compile was 2.6.3 or so [03:46] can some1 plz help me [03:46] awesome command.. ill be sure to remember that [03:46] does anyone know why i would not have any video when i try and play a movie, i have sound but thats it [03:46] !ot [03:46] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:46] Question: The output of 'lsmod' shows only *loaded* modules, right? [03:46] Hello! [03:46] hey buddies, my friend brought his laptop over with ubuntu and i think his install somehow got messed up because whenever he tries any system stuff like add/remove apps, or sys. update, he gets errors like [03:46] "this is a major failure of your software management system. please check for broken packages with synaptic, and check the file permissions and correctness of the file /etc/apt/sources.list and reload the software information with: sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install -f [03:47] MdL054_: Ok one minute. I'm pretty sure ICH5 shipsets should still work. I use ICH6 on craploads of stuff. [03:47] So everyone ready for KDE 4.0 tomorrow? [03:47] mikeylikesit5805: when opening your video file did you get any msgs saying you should install some codecs? [03:47] no [03:47] i installed all of the codecs including libdvdcss2 [03:47] :) thanks so much i REALLY appreciate the help... sooooo desperate at this momment [03:47] ...no one knows ffmpeg? [03:47] how do you get into a directory [03:47] Ha. I would love to have KDE 4 on my laptop, but sadly it's hard to install codecs for it. [03:47] BiGKiD: used automatix or envy? [03:47] and all of the ones under mythbuntu [03:47] will kde4 be released tomorrow? [03:47] BiGKiD, sounds like corruption of the database used by the package manager. [03:47] !ics [03:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about ics - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:47] could it have anything to do with the output on the laptop [03:47] BiGKiD, He should be able to update it, though. [03:47] mikeylikesit5805: hmm, you know more then me sorry! [03:48] mikeylikesit...open synaptic and search mplayer and gstreamer [03:48] no problem thanks for the help [03:48] ok thanks marl [03:48] let me try [03:48] brb [03:48] with virtual users and vsftpd, can i set the "home" directory as something like /var/www ?? [03:48] FactTech: is there a way i can check the integrity of the install he has? [03:48] do you have vnc installed mikey? [03:48] anyone? [03:48] will the KDE4 effects work with the fglrx driver? [03:49] BiGKiD, I'm not too sure... I've never run into the problem personally. I think the man pages for apt-get might point the way, though. [03:49] what's a good program for burning a bootable CD? [03:49] zetheroo: open gl? [03:49] Hammer89, on Windows? [03:49] zenrox: theyshould sicne they don't depend on anything but X really [03:49] Hammer89: right click the iso in the file manager, select burn disk [03:49] * sacul whispers vLc to marl [03:49] FactTech: Linux [03:49] \list [03:50] nickrud: oh... okay... that works :) [03:50] Hammer89: amazing what linux puts on your desktop :) [03:50] with virtual users and vsftpd, can i set the "home" directory as something like /var/www ?? [03:50] hi all i think it might be a new bug according to this [03:50] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=596336&highlight=gnome_screensaver_control [03:50] more important question about kde4: wt heck is up with the fading-in widget buttons on every stinking desktop icon [03:50] if you have any idea let me know [03:50] bazhang: ??? [03:50] nickrud: Aye... if only I could get MSoffice 07 running on it (the only reason Windows exists)! [03:51] mikey, do you have vnc installed?/ [03:51] Hammer89: yeah, I run that in vmware, gotta have it for work [03:51] err...VLC [03:51] ? [03:51] yes [03:51] yea [03:51] bothy [03:51] okay..and it doesn't work in vlc?

It is said to carry an intel onboard graphics card according to HP specification, but people who own it have reported it to have a ATI Radeon x1300 with 128 MB mem. I want to have a dual monitor like, when I dock my laptop to my docking station, my laptop screen should be the default screen while the 24'' monitor that I have connected to the docking station should be the s [03:51] sorry [03:51] Does anyone know if MS2003 (Especially Access) works with WINE yet? [03:51] touchy! [03:51] lol [03:51] i added a user, but i forgot its name. what command can i use to list all users? [03:51] bazhang: I think so..... [03:52] what did you find when you searched for gstreamer and mplayer? [03:52] !dmraid [03:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about dmraid - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:52] i dont know why i try all the formats, including .avi in many differny players [03:52] my graphics card actually supports dual monitor very well, since it works on doze [03:52] zetheroo: not sure of your question then [03:52] surprisingly i can;t find a terminal command to list all users on google [03:52] bazhang: a friend of mine said that the effects would not work with fglrx drivers [03:52] MdL054_ try setting hdx=nodma on your boot list. Where hdx is your main disk. [03:52] Does anyone here have experience with dmraid? [03:52] MdL054_: No guarantees but I've found a few reported problems with that. [03:52] mikeylikesit5805 sounds like you have a problem with the video card to me [03:52] i think it may be a bug, do you know im using a laptop that has a broken lcd so it is going out to an external lcd could that me the problem [03:52] chris062689, do you have to use access? there are better databases like mysql [03:52] K, i'll give it a shot [03:52] brb [03:52] In any case it ought to spee dup the 5 minute boot. [03:53] well [03:53] bazhang: I use the fglrx drivers for the ATI Rad Mob X1400 thats in my laptop [03:53] It's for a college class :/ [03:53] so it's kind of HARD not to use Access =P [03:53] 'Nother question... are there any programs you can use to make a custom installation CD for Ubuntu? [03:53] chris062689, you can run Access in a virtual machine, if you have a license for MS-Windows as well. [03:53] !customize [03:53] chris062689, off course not, you can use mysql to store your data, and do your sql too [03:53] bazhang: he said that the effects in KDE4 need xgl running.... but I thought that that's not a problem any more.... [03:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about customize - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:53] zetheroo: well if you really in a hurry to know this you could go to kde channel or even kubuntu channel--they might actually have an answer :} [03:54] Hammer89, I know it can be done, just not how. [03:54] IdleOne: I run synaptic to do upgrade, but find my 'update-manager' is 0.42.2, the guide said I need use 0.45.2. I have tried reload and set option(I have no 'Recommended updates' option as guide said). So, how can I do the upgrade? [03:54] Hammer89: yes, my mind is blank for a sec [03:54] bazhang: ha [03:54] ... It's a class on how to use Access. [03:54] lol [03:54] rofflecopters. have fun with access. it's a piece of cake, chris062689 [03:54] I doubt I could use MySQL for that =P [03:54] hey is there anyone who knows how to fix wireless issues with wusb54g v.4? [03:54] speaking of mysql [03:54] I need some good themes for Ubuntu, what do you guys suggest? [03:54] chris062689, well this is not access support line :) [03:54] mikeylikesit5805 with direct rendering of video the os sends a chroma keyed background to the monitor and a direct data stream of the video the the video card.. the video card then overlays the video.. sometimes its not possible for your card to do this on a secondary output.. especially if its an older card. [03:54] Hmm? [03:54] how do i restart my mysql server? [03:54] ok I figured it out [03:55] zetheroo: I'll second that; most people in #ubuntu are likely to be gnome users and at times you may even find kde-bashers (though I think many of the rabid fanboys "left" when kubuntu came about) [03:55] Do you guys know any good themes? I want to "pimp" out my Ubuntu, but can't find anything good. [03:55] supersako: /etc/init.d/mysql restart ought to be about right [03:55] supersako, if it has entries in /etc/init.d/ mysql restart [03:55] does #mysql have a channel? [03:55] bazhang: yes [03:55] im trying to set up mysql with amarok [03:55] Im having problems getting my wireless card working can anyone help? [03:55] bazhang: almost certainly [03:55] regeya: ok I am in the kubuntu room now [03:55] thanks Starnestommy!

[03:56] is there an alternate 7.10? [03:56] cheers NoelJB [03:56] nickrud: Thanks! [03:56] rt2570 [03:56] cause when I check alternate on the website, it gives me the same filename as the regular iso [03:56] its a linksys wusb54g v4 [03:56] thanks [03:56] Rian-Davide, prefix your responses to me with my nick or I will miss it [03:56] I forgot to save something and the recovery window pops up and is frozen there. I can't get it to the new document window at all. [03:56] ok thanks sacul i willl try and look into that, or do you think that it is not even possible [03:56] heck yea, Java games are working now!!

[03:57] phigan: you're not the first to say that tonight :( try releases.ubuntu.com/7.10 [03:57] Rian-Davide, what have you done to test it yet? [03:57] yea I got java working [03:57] lol [03:57] mikeylikesit5805 what model is your laptop? [03:57] nickrud: thanks [03:57] pyrak: what about running the ftp program? [03:57] java...games [03:57] truna_ Ive done alot, Ive even installed alternate modules to get it working but it still wont start up in the network manager and show wireless networks nor connect [03:57] pyrak ftp client or server?? [03:58] ftp client [03:58] truna_ even when I try to manually connect it won't connect but when i switch to my other internal broadcom card it works great [03:58] Rian-Davide, is your AP using some kind of encryption like wep or wap? disable them for now, to test connectivity [03:58] from console [03:58] pyrak: man ftp [03:58] truna_ there is nothing like that just simple open wireless connections [03:58] i want to see how many permissions my user has [03:59] danc3, tried, couldn't find it [03:59] bzr vs hg fight. go!

[03:59] lol [03:59] truna_ Ive blacklisted the old module that ubuntu tries to use for the card which is called rt2500 and then loaded one I got offf of a support website [03:59] pyrak: "how many permissions"...? doesn't make sense [03:59] thanks nickrud :-> [04:00] danc3, if i have read/write or just read, etc [04:00] will ubuntu be able to support KDE4? [04:00] Rian-Davide, you put them in the same directory as where the rt500 was before? [04:00] pyrak: depends on what ftp server you connect to [04:00] sacul it is an thinkpad r40 [04:00] Hey -- I got that sound card working! You really can do anything in linux, if you're willing to read 20MB to solve your problem. [04:00] * regeya looks at the kde4 dir on his machine....waddayathink riPPerMD [04:00] danc3, i realize. i'm looking on a particular server [04:00] FactTech: Now you're getting the idea. [04:00] truna_, is the driver loaded yet? check /sys/module/rt2500 ? [04:01] a client was supposed to give me permissions to edit files, but i'm having trouble through nautilus [04:01] heh answers my question [04:01] Sorry... didn't work :( no change in result [04:01] so i thought i'd try one more approach before blaming them [04:01] thanks regeya [04:01] hey sacul i just wanted to say thanks for the help and this is what i found out about the card it is an ati mobility radeon 7500 [04:01] FactTech: now test it on youtube and see if you get sound there [04:01] genii I know it's not that cool to show up asking easy questions, but a little mercy is always useful to a newbie. [04:01] pyrak: you don't use Nautilus to do file managing over FTP.... === ghdf is now known as Ashfire908 [04:01] danc3, you can. [04:01] grep100 I got it via beep media player... hold, I'll check. [04:01] pyrak: lol, ok whatever [04:01] good luck [04:01] MdL054: Damn! [04:02] I've sure got quit the issue here [04:02] danc3, what do you recommend? [04:02] truna_ here's the website with the directions I followed http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=516649 [04:02] riPPerMD: I'd say with a bit of work after it stabilizes it'll be jsut fine and dandy...just as kde is on ubuntu, except with the 10,000x better nature of kd34 (ok, I might be exaggerating a bit) [04:02] pyrak: I recommend you use a GUI FTP client [04:02] s/d3/de/ [04:02] danc3, which one? [04:02] pyrak: like gFTP [04:02] you said my chipset is supported right? [04:02] MdL054: In theory yeah. [04:02] truna_ I dont know if they are in the same directory I'll check the sys file you told me to, but I followed the directions off of that website [04:02] Rian-Davide, way too much for me to read, at what point you are at testing? what command did you use so far? [04:03] FactTech: :) My point is that almost anything is possible in ubutu, just it takes some work and research occasionally [04:03] c.cbn.net.id [04:03] MdL054: I use ich6 and ich7 [04:03] truna_ its not anything to read at all its only a few lines of code [04:03] *ubuntu [04:03] genii I know -- I was just poking fun. I appreciated your help yesterday. [04:03] because i was thinking of trying an ide controller card but no stores around stock em and I'd need to newegg it.. if it doesn't work then i eat a lot of shippng costs [04:03] plus i move between us and germany very often so it would take me a long time to sit down with it [04:04] and if my chipset is theoretically working then theres probobly a different issue [04:04] genii The secret to the sound card was doing a modprobe with an 'isapnp=0' parameter. [04:04] MdL054: Yeah that would be pretty inconvenient. You could always bug intel? [04:04] grep100, It doesn't work with YouTube -- how did you know? [04:04] MdL054: Theyve got pretty good linux support, at least network wise. :p [04:04] FactTech: I need to add that to my little black book of answers.... ;) [04:04] truna_: What is a good graphical frontend or viewing mysql data? [04:05] i actually tried it and they give the runaround [04:05] mikeylikesit that card should be new enough to handle it.. not really sure [04:05] try the real basic stuff ya know [04:05] I needed to install flashplayer from adobe and then I needed aoss (alsa-oss [04:05] bullgard4: phpmyadmin is not bad [04:05] does anyone here have experience with dmraid? [04:05] MdL054: I dunno mate. :( [04:05] bullgard4, i dont have a preference, i can use the openoffice settings and use mysql as the data source to populate a spreadsheet [04:05] !testdisk [04:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about testdisk - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:05] !photorec [04:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about photorec - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:05] Hmm ...

[04:06] amd64 installer cd keeps freezing up in final stages of install (language-pack-en mainly). i386 install works fine. any ideas on causes? [04:06] sacul: I've been pulling my hairs out the past week trying to get this thang working [04:06] MdL054: I am seeing lots of google hits for your hardware and kernel 2.6.20; might be something useful buried there. Though all ive seen so far is more dma suggestions. [04:07] truna_ so I have to figure out what's installed in the rt2500 directory? [04:07] The last time I attempted to recover, I got an awful lot of 6.1k MP3 files. [04:07] truna_, is the driver loaded yet? check /sys/module/rt2500 ? [04:07] if it means anything, pre 2.6.17 I always had the "mounting root file system" hang [04:07] ... Like they've been fragged. [04:07] truna_ but if i black listed that one will it not matter? [04:07] grep100, Before I go off on a tangent and have to read another 20MB, can you point me to anything specific? [04:07] sacul: do you mind joining #dmraid as it is kinda crowded in here [04:07] flatline-kun: what are you looking for? [04:07] doseryder sure [04:07] Rian-Davide, something similar rtxxx in /sys/module/ [04:07] MdL054: hmm, someone hard-disky has to know about that if its been affecting kernels for so long. [04:07] truna_ ok what should I look for in it? [04:08] truna_ Im using windows right now to get on the internet [04:08] bazhang: I was looking for some instruction on how to install either Jabber w/jingle support, or possible OpenFire. [04:08] truna_ i cant get on with ubuntu right now [04:08] It mgiht be worth ti to check around other distros or some kernel forums. kernel-trap.org has lots of fixes. [04:08] video driver question: (i have a geForce 7900): on a default install, gdm does not load properly. I have to /etc/init.d/gdm stop > sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run >then etc/init.d/gdm start. :: now after a reboot its back to the drawing board (i have to repeat the process to get gdm to load properly)... what can i check??? [04:08] your deff thinking hdd at this point as well though? [04:08] truna_: A spreadsheet-like GUI is not enough for me. MS-Access is much more flexible to represent data in forms. So I was forced to leave mysql for Kexi. [04:09] Rian-Davide, well, we cant check anything then [04:09] not in memory I read a ton of web pages, final result was download and install the alsa-oss package, then reboot, still didn't work, so then read a ton more web pages and it said start firefox with the command "aoss firefox" that worked after the first time I no longer needed to start from a terminal [04:09] truna_ Im going to reboot and check it and then report back, what should i be looking for/ [04:09] MdL054: Yeah, if its not just freezing at the "waiting for root fs" screen you usually see when you have no drivers for root=thing. [04:09] grep100, You probably just saved me about 12 hours. Thank you very much. [04:09] MdL054: Then youve got something new. You tried mounting it manually in busybox? [04:10] MdL054: Its got a fair amount of tools [04:10] bullgard4, data is data, how you present it is dependent on your client taste..it can possibly be in xml format if you wish..but you have to do some conversions [04:10] MdL054: well sometimes it does at least. [04:10] Is anyone here a virus professional? [04:10] actually i havent, (been scared, no experience in busybox) [04:10] Is anyone here a virus professional? Who works in the virus industry? [04:10] MdL054: its just miniature sh, may even have tab completion. [04:10] FactTech: just know that it will work if you beg and plead long enough [04:10] genii: I found phpmyadmin very much inferior to MS-Access in representing data on GUI forms. [04:11] Rian-Davide, do you have a cable you can use to connect to your router so you can get in here while checking those connectivity? [04:11] MdL054: I use it for embedded systems instead of a normal system; its pretty slick. [04:11] any one know about video drivers??? or might could help me out... [04:11] video driver question: (i have a geForce 7900): on a default install, gdm does not load properly. I have to /etc/init.d/gdm stop > sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run >then etc/init.d/gdm start. :: now after a reboot its back to the drawing board (i have to repeat the process to get gdm to load properly)... what can i check??? [04:11] truna_ nope I dont, so once I open that directory do you want me to tell you whats in it? [04:11] i'll give it a shot [04:12] after i mount it should it just go on its merry way? [04:12] FactTech: now the bad news I am not running ubuntu, I tested this in fedora 8, but getting help in #fedora is pointless, so I hang out here and hope to learn something [04:12] Does anyone here know of a virus professional or an emergency help line for an infected file for corporate use?

Thank you for mentioning. [04:18] h4x5: i have a geforce 7900 - will the graphical not load at all??? [04:18] scurry7, check /etc/X11 and see what is happening with your config.

[04:19] scurry7, I see "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run" I just noticed ... that's old, IIRC. [04:19] lgc: did you google for info on that? [04:19] !info azureus [04:19] azureus: BitTorrent client. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.5.0.4-1ubuntu3~gutsy1 (gutsy), package size 7061 kB, installed size 7916 kB [04:19] scurry7, go to the nvidia web site and get the newest version. [04:19] pawan: apt-get should do it, make sure you also have java installed and working [04:19] facttech: it was a messed up sources.list file [04:19] damc3 not yet. [04:19] ok [04:19] danc3: i tried the resticted drivers but then my screen res is all jacked (and willl not change) [04:19] lgc: well go do that [04:19] pawan it is in the repos--do you have them enabled?

[04:20] scurry7: works for everyone else... dunno [04:20] yeh [04:20] !google [04:20] Google is a very popular search engine: http://www.google.com - Google also has a Linux-specific search engine: http://google.com/linux [04:20] yes [04:20] if i try that it gives me an error message saying "The software source for the package (nvidia-glx-new) is not enabled" [04:20] scurry7, I am using NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run, but there is a package for legacy systems, too.

[04:21] Redf1sh, im asking, i want to play around with those cheap soho routers that has embedded linux but seems no way to change the flash [04:21] truna_: I run everything from ram, since cfdisks only live so long with writes. So anything I need to do I can do from loggin into a box. [04:22] lgc: ignore the find your info elsewhere people, but googling is customarily a good idea [04:22] th0r thanks [04:22] truna_: You should probably be able to flash the firmware somehow. [04:22] Onyx: Not particularly as far as my opinion. Others may have different views [04:22] scurry7, nVidia 570 [04:22] Flughafen: often you can't play music because of the format of the music, ie. .mp3 is a non free propritary format and you need to install special codecs to play it [04:22] I know linksys ones have a few community linux firmwares. [04:22] grep, how do i get the codecs? [04:22] genii: ehh, I can always get it later if I want it [04:22] I guess i will try the updated driver or play around with the restricted drivers area some more - thanks for the input [04:22] Redf1sh, thats the tricky part, find out how they flash the firmware while installed onto the unit [04:22] Onyx: Yup, exactly === jschade is now known as zrg === zrg is now known as zrg` [04:23] hi all, having a little trouble getting a dvd to play. Totem is saying I need the plugin. I beleive I have the correct codecs. Also I allready ran through what ubuntu help said to do. [04:23] scurry7, see http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.07.html if you are an x86 user. [04:23] truna_: Not sure. [04:23] truna_: package.ubuntu.com: "Package Contents Search Results: You have searched for cocoon2 in gutsy, architecture i386. Can't find that file, at least not in that distribution and on that architecture." [04:23] Flughafen: thats the problem I got them from the livna repo but you can't do that with ubuntu, you have to find them in a ubuntu repoistory [04:23] genii: Ouch... 495MB :P [04:23] Redf1sh, just curious too, which arch do you use? ppc? [04:23] reeeh2000: did you get the libdvdcss from medibuntu? === DiCha_cHa-Cha_ is now known as Cew_kampus [04:24] nickrud: let me check [04:24] grep100, im talking about rockbox, the GNU ipod firmware [04:24] thank you so much, i need to restart to see if it worked [04:24] bullgard4, it is an apache project, java based xml framework, pls see cocoon2.apache.org [04:24] truna_: ok [04:24] Flughafen: you need to install libdvdcss2 from www.medibuntu.org ; the instructions are on the site [04:25] Onyx: Yes, hopefully you're not on dialup :) [04:25] Flughafen: then ignore that, I was thinking that rockbox was a simple linux music player [04:25] nickrub: I have libdvdcss2, is that the same thing? [04:25] genii: lol, nope... :) [04:25] grep100, no i can play music fine on ubuntu [04:25] grep100, thanks though [04:25] bullgard4, i gave wrong url, cocoon.apache.org [04:25] reeeh2000: yes it is. try running totem from the terminal, you might get better error messages [04:25] truna_: ok [04:25] Flughafen: for working with video? mp3? what codecs do you need? ubuntu-restricted-extras has the rest iirc outside of realplayer [04:25] nickrub: ok [04:26] NoelJB: i believe i have tried it before with no luck (same black screen as default drivers) but i'll try again and play with the restricted drivers some more. [04:26] thanks for the input!!!! [04:26] reeeh2000: although, I would suggest getting vlc and using that as your dvd player, it's much better (including menus) [04:26] truna: A very customized debian. [04:26] nickrub: ok [04:26] scurry7, good luck. they've worked well for me. [04:27] Redf1sh, i meant, the platform as in intel, arm, ppc, or adi? [04:27] truna: Oh, right. Just intel. [04:27] nickrub: installing the package now [04:27] truna_: adi platform? Don't recognize that one [04:28] nickrud, they use uclinux as the os [04:28] nickrub: I don't use the terminal to much, what is the command to start a program within it again? [04:28] reeeh2000: apps->accessories->terminal, and type the program name: totem or vlc [04:28] nickrub: o ok thanks [04:28] oh NoelJB: how can i tell that the default ubuntu drivers are not overRiding my new ones? [04:29] Hi folks, when I boot my desktop using the Live CD in normal & Safe Graphics mode, I get a black screen. My video card is a 7800 GT CO. The on-board video boots fine though. [04:29] scurry7, nvidia's installer should replace anything with their own, and offers to run a config tool to setup the config file. [04:30] nickrub: on startup in totem it says jackd: not found [04:30] NoelJB: but do i need to add the default to the some black list drivers (i was reading something ont hat some where)? [04:30] I have a DVD5 movie, it has css etc, what is an easy way to just rip this, without modifying it. [04:30] nickrud sorry i meant adi (stock ticker) as in analog devices inc, blackfin processors, they support blackfin.uclinux.org [04:30] reeeh2000: that's a possible sound daemon, not used and not a problem [04:30] Anybody know if its possible to use DDR2 800 on a board that says it supports up to 667? would it just use the 800 at a slower speed or is it not possible at all? [04:30] scurry7, I haven't had to. [04:31] truna_: ah, thanks for that :) [04:31] NoelJB: k, thanks again. [04:31] hey all getting this problem with compiz, Comparing resolution (2560x1024) to maximum 3D texture size (2048): Failed. any one able to help? [04:31] nickrud you're welcome [04:31] scurry7, I did see a problem where using the "Screens and Graphics" corrupted the config, and I had to repair it, but the nVidia utility pretty much replaces it entirely. [04:31] anyone? [04:31] ta1: it will run fine, just at lower than designed speed [04:31] how can I get gcompris to go full screen so that gnome panels are not in the way? It has fullscreen mode, but menubar and task bar are on top. [04:32] NoelJB the nvidia-xconfig right? [04:32] hey guys does anyone know how to mess with mysql? i cant get to the mysql> prompt no matter what i try [04:32] nickrud: ok, im downloading vlc right now through school network, so it will be a minute, I need to set up a proxie with my friend to get past the annoying ratchiting down on downloads [04:32] nickrud, indeed. But the right bit of knowledge from someone usually spares others hours of their time. People in no disposition to help should not linger around on help channels, or else keep a low profile (danc3, did I spell your name right this time?). Same with the bunch of etiquette bigots that jump at your throat if you don't abide by the strictest, senseless rules. [04:32] reeeh2000: ah, you're already a network engineer :) [04:32] lgc: you must be new to IRC, eh? [04:33] !etiquette | lgc (lol) [04:33] lgc (lol): Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See (in a private message with the bot, /msg ubotu ): !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !NickSpam - and most importantly, use common sense... [04:33] nickrud: learning, in college take CS, made the switch to linux last year [04:33] scurry7, after installing, you'll have 4 nvidia programs (plus the driver): nvidia-bug-report.sh, nvidia-settings, nvidia-installer, nvidia-xconfig [04:33] danc3, I've been around on this channel since Hoary Hedgehog. [04:34] lgc: I think I got them all that time :) [04:34] lgc: ooooooh, such a long time ;) [04:34] Question: When my system attempts to boot in normal and safe graphics mode, it results in a blank screen. The video card is a 7800 GT. [04:34] supersako, I do, but this isn't the place, which is probably why people are ignoring you [04:34] ok [04:34] nickrub: Ahh, VLC is working, the problem must have been with totem, thanks [04:34] lgc: thought I remembered your nick [04:34] nickrud, yeah, yeah! :). [04:34] hello all [04:34] having an issue with my wireless networking [04:34] I am going to try nvidai-installer --update to see if that will work [04:34] grep100: thx [04:35] JerseyMonkey, are you trying to do an install? [04:35] nickrud, you're from the old customers in the house, I know. [04:35] where does banshee keep its config files? I need to whack them I think ... I just will not play mp3 anymore.... radio is OK. Amarok works and system sounds... [04:35] Halp! Can't change icon for WoW in AWN... Really kinda mad about it. 'Cause all it is is a spring..

[04:35] reeeh2000: yw, see you around [04:35] JerseyMonkey, but have you installed Ubuntu, or are you trying to use a LiveCD? [04:35] Wasn't able to mount [04:35] NoelJB i appreciate your help... off to try some stuff! [04:36] I was able to pull an error [04:36] scurry7, good luck [04:36] NoelJB, I am using the LiveCD. [04:36] "ata1.01: exception EMask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 Action 0x2 Frozen [04:36] as an example, I tried going to weather.com and it took a good minute or two to load, meanwhile my wife (on her wired connection) tried to go and it loaded within 15 seconds. [04:36] danc3, I believe there were just a couple of Ubuntu releases before Hoary. [04:37] MdL054: Alright then. [04:37] Halp! Can't change icon for WoW in AWN... Really kinda mad about it. 'Cause all it is is a spring.. [04:37] Does that make sense? [04:37] JerseyMonkey, and using an nvidia graphics card, right? Won't work. I am trying to recall if I could even get VGA mode to work (I can for Hardy). For gutsy, I just use text mode to install, and then install the nVidia drivers. [04:37] that message gets spammed countless times [04:37] lgc: that's not the point... IRC has been around a lot longer than that [04:37] anyone use kde and gnome? [04:37] they both look cool, which do you folks prefer [04:37] MdL054: Not to me yet. [04:38] NoelJB, does Hardy have better support for the card? I wouldn't mind using alpha/beta. [04:38] how long is this "update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic" process supposed to take? [04:38] danc3, and I figure you were there since the days of BBSs. [04:38] heatmzzr, ubuntu = gnome, kubuntu = kde, the likely response in this room would therefore be gnome? [04:38] people have been rude and helpful since bbs days, it's just a fact of life. Some places tend one way or another [04:38] JerseyMonkey, do NOT use Hardy if you want stable. There are some things that are very badly broken (other things work fine). [04:38] lgc: you figure right [04:38] NoelJB, Yes, its a nvidia 7800 GT CO, but it was able to boot with my on-board 6150 nvidia. [04:38] yeah but i figure folks prolly use both.. but i know what you mean [04:38] danc3, good for you. [04:39] yup [04:39] yet another question... what's a good program for copying a CD to my harddrive as an ISO?

[04:43] bazhang: yeah, I saw the 文 after I did the just in case :) [04:43] truna: http://cocoon.apache.org/ displays only tools but no results (data representations). It seems to be made by marketing people. Not much practical stuff that I could use to make a MS-access like form. [04:43] danc3: gotcha... like "dd if=/dev/cdrom of=image.iso bs=2k"? [04:43] yaba: you were asking about svn commits?

[04:44] svn up need me chmod -R 777 * [04:44] DropKickMurphys: Why do you need to schedule it? [04:44] JerseyMonkey, I don't know your system. I install onto mine in text mode, get to a console, install the nVidia drivers, and start gdm. [04:45] NoelJB: where on the web site is the link that goes there?

[04:47] nope, didn't change a thing [04:47] nickrud, holly s**t! You mean every stupid thing we type gets logged forever?

Does your (initramfs) shell have an lsmod command? [04:48] truna the thing is, it should say rt2500 in the iwconfig, it should rt2570 [04:48] <>-bazhang-<>: yeeeh yeeeh! [04:48] Skapare, DVD has a much more complete and comprehensive set of packages. [04:48] Rian-Davide, I was expecting things like associated to AP, and ip address assigned [04:48] is there a way i can check without booting into it again? [04:48] otherwise, you install over the net. <> [04:48] (by the way, censors, "s**t" means "soot", not ... well, you know). [04:48] NoelJB: so it could do the install offline? [04:48] k [04:48] =@>Squall_Sk8<@=: you're deer ? ;x [04:49] Skapare: pretty much you can fit more data on a dvd, just like hddvd and blueray fits more data than dvd [04:49] Skapare, yes [04:49] truna sry it shouldnt say rt2500, and when i check for the rt2500 module it doesnt exist [04:49] Mp3pLayer [ samba merengue - harmonia do samba ] CeBoLiNhA 2008 [04:49] cOzy: not sure what squall is cant help you there sorry [04:49] nickrud, let me check that... [04:49] MdL054: Not really, but wait a bit first. You could try loading ide_generic first, I think that might catch it. [04:49] another mystery solved [04:49] bazhang dont colors ? [04:49] ablyss: yeah, I know that concept ... but what is the meaning of ubuntu on dvd ... is it "complete" or just "more" [04:49] MdL054: But i dont know how to make it do that automatically. [04:49] lgc you active on ubuntu-es? [04:49] iN00DLE: can i use the same package names in apt-get as they are displayed in synaptic? [04:50] MdL054: blacklisting piix in your initram should work, but I think you just tried that. :s [04:50] Skapare: not sure I understand [04:50] i could just modify my /etc/initramfs-tools/modules right? [04:50] NoelJB: I see they are only 4.2 GB ISOs ... so I guess they had no more to add since DVD is 4.7 GB in single layer [04:50] yyes DropKickMurpheys [04:50] cOzy: that sounds like a music question--unless you cannot get mp3 players to work--not the right channel for that [04:50] oh nvm [04:50] yea i just tried blacklisting it [04:50] bazhang sorry [04:50] MdL054: Yeah, but youd have to rebuild the initram for the kernel your trying to boot. [04:50] ablyss: will _all_ the packages fit on the DVD ... or just _some_ (presumably the most popular) of them? [04:51] no worries cOzy [04:51] k thanks inoodle [04:51] i updated it by using [04:51] MdL054: I think that command would build it for what your running [04:51] sudo update-initramfs -u [04:51] actually built it for my 2.6.23.12 [04:51] truna so what commands should i try? [04:51] ablyss: I was looking on web site for a description of DVD like "it has all the packages o eliminate downloading" or "it has more packages to minimize downloading" [04:51] bazhang I could explain what system ubuntu? [04:52] nickrud, no, I'm not active on -es, nor on -mx. Only here, and not so often anymore. [04:52] truna do you want to see what it said when i did the iwconfig? [04:52] MdL054: update-initramfs -k all -u [04:52] Rian-Davide, yes..please [04:52] MdL054: might get it [04:52] So that the system serves ubuntu? [04:52] ok lemme try it [04:52] lgc: wasn't you then [04:52] MdL054: sounds good. [04:52] nickrud, I checked the logs are on .xchat2/scrollback. [04:52] pass it a -v and it might tell you what its doing. [04:52] cOzy: probably easier in Portuguese but it is a linux distribution, just as famelix is [04:52] truna ok here it is rausb0 RT2500USB WLAN [04:52] nickrud, what do you mean? [04:53] hey now whats this [04:53] i get "find: /lib/firmware/2.6.24-rc3-zen3-zen-rc4: No such file or directory [04:53] " [04:53] lgc: http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/free/2005/09/01/%23ubuntu-es.html [04:53] and that same error for each of my kernels installed [04:53] Rian-Davide, thats all? no other things like associated to the AP and an ip address assigned? [04:53] MdL054: hmm, might not be an issue I think I get that when I use mkinitramfs sometimes. That directory isnt crucial afaik. [04:54] Skapare: assuming they compress it I guess so :| [04:54] bazhang And where can I download the system? [04:54] truna it doesnt even connect tot he internet via rausb0 [04:54] k [04:54] MdL054: but it listed the kernel that gives you that error too?

[04:54] Kalamansi: gaim had to change their name to pidgin [04:54] Kalamansi: should be pre-installed. [04:55] cOzy: www.ubuntu.com [04:55] MdL054: ok, that sounds good. [04:55] MdL054: I guess try another boot? [04:55] nickrud: but there is no doodle or drawing in pidgin =/ [04:55] truna I know but it wont even do that, like I said its not working, it wont show its doing anything in the network manager nor will it even try to connect manually [04:55] bazhang where'u from ? [04:55] Kalamansi: you missed the server experts--about 6 hours ago === j_ack_ is now known as j_ack [04:55] where's the place to configure LDAP settings in Evolution? [04:55] ablyss: Fedora, by comparison, as a set of 5 CDs ... or 1 DVD ... the 1 DVD is just the same contents as the 5 CDs [04:55] Kalamansi: I wouldn't know, I don't use it. It might be a plugin now [04:55] sure [04:56] ablyss: if Ubuntu had 5 or 6 CDs ... I could believe the DVD has that contents [04:56] nickrud, the guy certainly takes the care to write correctly, just like I normally do, though I don't recall that conversation. Maybe it's too old, when I was little...;). [04:56] truna when i try to rmmod the rt2500 it says it doesnt exist and then when i rmmod the rt2570 it says it cant cause its in use [04:56] Question: Where should all of AWN's files be? [04:56] Rian-Davide, you are dual booting? [04:56] cOzy: sorry this is not a chat channel but a support channel [04:56] ablyss: but as you know, Fedora sucks [04:56] You know me say why the Africans have small dick? [04:56] Kalamansi: you can search in synaptic, there are a lot of plugins [04:56] bazhang : yeah... [04:56] truna yes I am dual booting, Im in windows right now [04:56] nickrud, but I see your point. [04:56] Rian-Davide, and the same wifi usb works in windows? [04:57] truna yes it works perfectly [04:57] cOzy: What the hell are you talking about? [04:57] Using AdvanSys SCSI, updated Kernel to 2.6.24 but still can't access my scsi devices. Where should I look? [04:57] Skapare: you find the dvd you want? linuxtracker.org has many torrents as well [04:57] Question: Where should all of AWN's files be? [04:57] truna this card used to work for ubuntu but now it doesnt [04:57] cOzy: one warning [04:57] cOzy: please stop [04:57] nickrud, so, if I inaugurate the #FUCK channel (hey, censors, it's the name of a computer language, don't blame me!), it'll also be automagically logged? [04:58] Skapare: i tried fedora once and was not obliged at how they kept ifconfig *out* of my env path.. was headache from the beginning [04:58] nickrud : bazhang : i have ubuntu 7.10 desktop and i want to share internet to pc1 (xp home) how to share internet? and also install a firewall? and lastly how to install traffic monitor shapping and blocking dangerous websites? thanks [04:58] Rian-Davide, i dont know what to tell you right now... [04:58] bazhang sorry [04:58] mnemonica: /usr/local? [04:58] mnemonica: if you installed it with dpkg , dpkg -L avant-window-navigator will tell you [04:58] inoodle [04:58] i can use the KDE right? [04:58] kubuntu!! [04:58] ablyss: A lot of distros keep /sbin and /usr/sbin I think out of the user's path. [04:58] ftw [04:58] truna ok Im wondering something I removed the rt2500 module so why would my card even show up as that when i installed a how new module and driver for it? [04:58] nickrud : bazhang i dont want to missed up my iptables again.. [04:59] Kalamansi: not necessarily, the ubuntu logs were originally started by fabbione , and I see they are on the actual ubuntu site now. Someone has to set it up [04:59] DropKickMurpheys: yes you can [04:59] DropKickMurpheys: you can try kubuntu if you just want KDE [04:59] nickrud: Nope. [04:59] !gnome--- [04:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about gnome--- - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:59] SeveredCross: Where from there?

[04:59] once i downloaded [04:59] i need it to schedule update and downloads [04:59] SeveredCross: It's already installed. [04:59] Kalamansi: I am not a network dude at all, sorry [04:59] Ah. [04:59] nickrud : i tried to setup internet sharing and it works..but when i run firestarter, my pc2 cannot connect to internet now... [04:59] DropKickMurpheys: you can install the kubuntu-deskotp package I think, at that will let you use KDE [04:59] Rian-Davide, kind of odd yes, but perhaps its called that rt2500 family and it just carry same name? [04:59] Need info. on istalling emerald themes.. have the theme mgr active but themes are not setting [04:59] no go :( [05:00] Well, it'll probably be in /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/bin, etc. [05:00] !enter | DropKickMurpheys (it scrolls the window way too fast) [05:00] SeveredCross: i hear ya [05:00] DropKickMurpheys (it scrolls the window way too fast): Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:00] SeveredCross: I'll try that then. Thanks.. bbias [05:00] dg19075: Use emerald-manager to install the themes from the theme repositories. [05:00] Hello, i installed MYSQL server 5.0 and one of the install scripts i'm using cant find the file mysql_config. i did a find / -name mysql_config and came up with nothing. does anyone know where i can find this program? (when i compiled mysql from source on another box it was installed along with everything else) [05:00] sudo apt-get install kde-desktop i think [05:00] nickrud : so this time i am in serious need help .. hehehe i dont want to missed up with my iptables again. its a fresh install btw [05:00] Kalamansi, its your firewall rule that stops it, [05:00] Kalamansi: then you best look away from me :) [05:01] MdL054: Buggery. I really dont know. [05:01] kirk: it's kubuntu-desktop I think [05:01] truna I dont think it said that before when i had it plugged in while I booted up the computer, so when i revmoed it to reboot its named changed when i plugged it in again [05:01] kubuntu-desktop [05:01] kirk DropKickMurpheys kubuntu-desktop is the package you want [05:01] lol [05:01] this sucks [05:01] MdL054: I see lots of google hits for that error, but most of them make the same suggestion. [05:01] * osxdude accidentially quit XChat [05:01] Is there anything better than Picasa to manage photos ? [05:01] ahh [05:01] Trying to create dual boot. Created the bootsect.lnx file. Now what? I have a pen drive at my disposal... [05:01] how can i get flash to work? [05:01] ditto on my research [05:01] Question: How do I reset the monitor settings? I set the resolution too high, and now I cain't do anything. [05:02] WooD: I find fspot good enough for me, but I don't need much [05:02] !flash | jinxed [05:02] jinxed: 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 [05:02] 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. [05:02] Does anyone happen to know how Gnome decides that a USB device is a drive vs a media player when attached? Gutsy is getting it right, Hardy keeps getting it wrong. I'm not sure what the mechanism is. [05:02] MdL054: I think it is that module; its possible blacklisting it that way is not working or its not building the initram for some reason. [05:02] nickrud, thanks [05:02] Rian-Davide, thats udev doing that, i am still learning how it names devices it recognize..so not much of help there yet [05:02] NoelJB: talk about it in #ubuntu+1 , they probably would want to troubleshoot it [05:02] !flash > Jinxed- [05:02] MdL054: Its also possible its something completely different; but I dont think so. [05:02] truna : i see.. so whats the best thing to do? its a fresh install btw.. i want to share internet connection to pc2, apply or install firewall, and monitor pc2 and block dangerous websites..i am using ubuntu 7.10 desktop this is my server now..but pc2 have no internet at the moment... [05:02] i'm cloning the screen image to my tv, and when i make mplayer full screen it looses its image - any idea? [05:02] MdL054: you could try it manually from the busybox shell [05:03] Question: Can anybody answer a brief question about using modprobe? I want to load the 'snd-sb16' module at startup with a parameter of 'isapnp=0'. The problem is that the isapnp parameter seems to be passed to all of the snd-* modules, which makes them fail to initialize. Is there a way to set things up so that if I call for snd-sb16 in /etc/modules that it will automatically fetch the parameter for the one module that needs it? [05:03] how would i do that? [05:03] Kalamansi, if you disable the firewall or flush its rules, your client can get to the internet? [05:03] hahahahah flash is broken? [05:03] nickrud, seems to be good [05:03] MdL054: lsmod to see if its loaded, modprobe -v -r *name* to remove it, modprobe -v *name* to insert it again. [05:03] nickrud, I will, but thought that the basic question might be answerable here. They're quiet on +1. The more serious issue with Hardy is that hotswapping is badly broken (at least on my system for all versions of hardy). [05:03] Jinxed-: in dire straits at least [05:03] MdL054: try remove ide_generic and the piix modules [05:04] MdL054: then insert ide_Generic first [05:04] Can anyone help me with dual booting. I am almost done halfway... [05:04] how is the gnaw flash thing? [05:04] Gnash? [05:04] Not really good. [05:04] hmm [05:04] gnash Jinxed-? not so hot [05:04] ok [05:04] MdL054: I see some things saying that works, but its not really a good solution in the least. [05:04] I mean, it works, but not well enough for Youtube. [05:04] Jinxed-, you have to install the dependency packages first, then use dpkg to install the downloaded package. Works fine. I did it on my Gutsy install last night. [05:04] if i installed it would it be easy to uninstall [05:04] truna : i reinstall ubuntu and try to share internet sharing and pc2 can connect. so how to setup firewall and other monitoring devices that you can assign policy to pc2? [05:04] FactTech: you would set up file in /etc/modprobe.d/ with the option line, see the options file for examples [05:04] screw this... i restarting and opening [05:05] windows [05:05] lol [05:05] nickrud Thank you for the pointer. [05:05] Kalamansi, did you play with you router already? You might be able to do some things without messing with iptables. [05:05] Question: How do I reset the monitor settings? I set the resolution/refresh rate too high, and now I cain't do anything. Even TTY doesn't work. [05:05] bye Jinxed- [05:05] NoelJB: well you are running a system that's supposed to be broken right now [05:05] Kalamansi, first thing is learn iptables, may take a bit while though..a good tutorial is by gandalf on iptables.. [05:05] MdL054: If that does its possible to edit the initram and make it do that, but blacklisting it have done it as well. [05:05] SeveredCross: to make youtube work you have to have the flash player from adobe, then download alsa-oss and install it, reboot, then run firefox with the command aoss firefox [05:05] Anyone knows how to dual boot ubuntu and windows xp...? [05:06] grep100: I was talking about Gnash. [05:06] k ill give it a shot [05:06] lgc : i dont use router.. my server ubuntu 7.10 desktop is already connected to the net.. this is my network.. modem isp --- > server ubuntu desktop 7.10 ---switch --- > pc2 [05:06] MdL054: good luck! [05:06] !dualboot | deostroll [05:06] deostroll: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [05:06] deostroll: need a link? [05:06] Kalamansi, I mean DSL router. are you on a home connection? [05:06] truuna : what do you mean by "by gandalf on iptables" ? gandalf is an application? ok ill download that "gandalf" in google [05:06] nickrud Just to make sure I understand: I add a line that says 'options snd-sb16 isapnp=0' at the end? [05:06] JerseyMonkey: you can find the settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf make sure you edit under the correct screen [05:07] bazhang: I have a pen drive. Ubuntu already detects it. How do I transfer the .lnx file to it? [05:07] Kalamansi on google search for gandalf iptables tutorial [05:07] lgc : adsl. my isp gave me a modem that already configured. meaning you can connect internet directly without dialing. [05:07] nickrud, I've no problem with that idea. That's why I started testing it early and often. [05:07] nickrud, like voting in Chicago. [05:07] nickrud And this will be automatically picked up if I add 'snd-sb16' to the end of /etc/modules? [05:08] lgc : i dont have router [05:08] FactTech: you should create a new file in that directory containing that line. One of the blessings of ubuntu is if you modify a conffile in /etc , ubuntu won't overwrite it. Downside is you might lose a needed update. So they have a mechanism that will load any custom files in a conf.d directory [05:08] lgc : my isp gave me a modem [05:08] Can't access my scsi devices! Gutsy with kernel updated to 2.6.24 [05:08] Kalamansi, that's what I mean: you can connect to your modem and play with the settings to allow, for example, incoming ssh requests. [05:08] lgc : are you refering to router like "linksys" ? [05:08] deostroll: you have linux and windows installed already correct? [05:08] http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch14_:_Linux_Firewalls_Using_iptables Kalamansi [05:08] Kalamansi, yes. [05:09] NoelJB: lol, I usually wait until about a month or two before release. [05:09] lgc : ah ok.. my modem is in "routing" not bridge [05:09] Kalamansi, is it also a wireless modem? [05:09] trebel: correct. [05:09] deostroll: ok you're making it more difficult than you need to, simply rewrite your MBR to point to both linux and windows on boot [05:09] What is good software to rip a DVD9 movie, that has css, to a Dual Layer DVD-R, and have the css removed [05:09] I don't want to encode or edit much of anything, except maybe remove fbi warning/previews if that is very easy, if not, just a direct copy, but remove css [05:10] Can't access my scsi devices! Gutsy with kernel updated to 2.6.24 [05:10] lgc : nope.. this is the network here.. telephone like -- > modem isp -- > pc1 (my server) ubuntu desktop 7.10 --- switch---pc2 (xp home) [05:10] hi boys [05:10] nickrud I don't think I understand. So I create a file in /etc/modprobe.d -- does it have to have any particular filename, or are all files scanned? [05:10] Trebel: I did as was instructed here http://www.poopoccurs.com/linux/dualboot.html. Till now I have just created the .lnx file. [05:10] lgc : well im not using router linksys.. i am using modem of my isp connect to nic pc ubuntu [05:10] Kalamansi, I have a little "2Wire" white box with 4 Ethernet connections. That's my modem and my router. [05:11] Trebel, I simply tried copying this file to my pen drive, but my windows could not detect it... [05:11] nickrud I see modprobe.d has a man page... Iet me read that before you answer. [05:11] deostroll: look at the date on that page [05:11] http://apcmag.com/6101/dualboot_windows_xp_and_ubuntu deostroll [05:11] FactTech: np, man pages are very useful. [05:12] Trebel: But someone told me it was okay to do so... [05:12] lgc : my isp gave me a modem (already configured by my isp) with 1 port. [05:12] deostroll: its ok, but way more difficult than necessary, hold on i'm looking for the page i used [05:12] deostroll: or www.pendrivelinux.com [05:12] lgc : and that port is directed to my nic [05:12] Kalamansi, I mean that I can connect 4 computers to it (router) and also go out to the Internet (modem). I don't know much about other equipment, but I figure yours must be somewhat similar. [05:13] lgc : and with that modem i cannot connect 4 pc either. nor 2 pc.. only one pc.. [05:13] Kalamansi, if it's configured, you can still change the settings to your taste. [05:13] bazhang : in ubuntu 7.10 is the iptables already installed? or do i need to download it? i am afraid to missed up again with my ubuntu [05:13] Kalamansi, do you have a browser open now? [05:13] Can't access my scsi devices! Gutsy with kernel updated to 2.6.24 [05:14] lgc : browser of what? [05:14] Kalamansi, Firefox, for example. [05:14] bazhang: is that page significantly better than the ubuntu one? [05:14] * nickrud is too lazy to look [05:14] I'm being told they are in use and I am unable to remove them :/ [05:14] deostroll: are you looking to dual boot, or boot of a pen drive? [05:14] lgc : yes i have [05:14] lgc : ubuntu 7.10 desktop have already firefox here [05:15] MdL054: Hrm. But it is still loading ata_piix then? [05:15] If you type "home" on the address window, what happens? [05:15] What is the USB group name under Ubuntu? [05:15] yes [05:15] nickrud: the dual boot one? seems more clearly laid out imo [05:15] MdL054: And therfor blacklisting didnt work. [05:15] MdL054: Buggery. [05:15] Kalamansi, that was for you. [05:15] lame :( [05:15] trebel: dual boot. Looking to transfer the bootsect.lnx file to windows from where I can probably take care of things myself. [05:16] MdL054: You could do it interestingly by editing the initram by hand? Its relativly simple. [05:16] MdL054: but still pretty... odd [05:16] bazhang : i got it now. i dont have iptables yet. what i did is "service iptables start" [05:16] lgc : ok. what to do with firefox? [05:16] this whole issue is WAY weird [05:16] oh, so you're just trying to mount your pen drive? [05:16] MdL054: True. [05:16] Can anybody give a hint, here...? What is the USB group name in Ubuntu? [05:16] nickrud: should I desist and only use the ubuntu one? just curious [05:16] hello all :) i need some help with my cd-rw.. any one up there to help me out plz ? :) [05:17] I am trying to mount /dev/sdb1 to /mnt and it keeps telling me "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1," The drive is XFS and I have xfs progs installed [05:17] Kalamansi, type "home" (without the quotes) on the URL window of Firefox. [05:17] Does anyone know the right syntax for executing a *.patch file from the terminal? [05:17] hi all i have an ubuntu 7.10 laptop with a ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 when i open up a dvd in vlc i can hear it but can see no video all i get is a solid color, does anyone have any ideas [05:17] MdL054: Gentoo has some good initramfs documentation: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Initramfs [05:17] I just put in the command "useradd virtual -d /var/www" and then I used "ls -ld /var/www" and instead of giving any information on virtual it gives me information for user: root? [05:17] bazhang: no, I look for good ones to give out. I used to ask them if I could crib from them for ubuntu pages, but haven't done much wiki work recently. [05:17] Kalamansi, are you mixing Fedora style and ubuntu style of initiating the services in /etc/init.d ? [05:17] MdL054: You could extract it by hand and remove the ata_piix.ko file. [05:17] MdL054: which is all sorts of ugly. [05:17] heh [05:18] nickrud: okay; cheers! [05:18] MdL054: figure out why blacklisting didnt work. [05:18] try usermod now [05:18] MdL054: You could try specifying the kernel with -k *kernel name* [05:18] MdL054: or making that firmware directory ubuntu seems to want. [05:18] Newb here....using Firefox and Chatzilla on Ubuntu desktop ... HOW do I get IDent turned on?? [05:18] MdL054: chances are it can be empty [05:18] ok [05:18] MdL054: thats easier than doing it by hand. :) [05:18] I just put in the command "useradd virtual -d /var/www" and then I used "ls -ld /var/www" and instead of giving any information on virtual it gives me information for user: root? [05:18] It can never hurt right? [05:19] hehe [05:19] nope [05:19] * kirk slaps WNxCryptic [05:19] well i'll give it a shot as soon as I land [05:19] I'm about to leave for my flight [05:19] why kirk? [05:19] use usermod to set the home dir again [05:19] going to germany again [05:19] nickrud OK, so I created a file (/etc/modprobe.d/sb16-20080110) with the 'options snd-sb16 isapnp=0' line in it. I will still need to update /etc/modules to call for the snd-sb16 module, though, right? [05:19] Trebel: Should I unmount my pen drive? [05:19] make usr eit has permissions to be there [05:19] i go back and forth 2-3 times a week [05:19] lgc : okay i saw google [05:19] FactTech: yep, that will do the trick. [05:19] deostroll is the .lnx file already on it? [05:20] never in one place more than a few hrs LOL [05:20] kirk its a CLI environment, and obviously I'm still getting used to linux. [05:20] MdL054: Sounds good, its got to be something with that, so try it. That documentation has some info, but it may be as simple as creating the firmware folder. [05:20] nickrud OK, thanks. I think I'm finally starting to understand the whole modules subsystem. [05:20] FactTech: when the module gets loaded, the loader looks in your file for the options [05:20] truna : im not familiar with fedora.. first time ever to use ubuntu [05:20] trebel: I can move it to the pen drive. Yes. [05:20] well thanks so much [05:20] MdL054: which would rock [05:20] deostroll: i don't get it, you can't see that file when you boot in windows? [05:20] oih [05:20] dude [05:20] i REALLY appreciate the help [05:20] do [05:20] its been great [05:20] MdL054: No problem mate, have fun in germany. [05:20] Kalamansi, you should've connected to your modem... [05:20] ls -l ~virtual [05:20] lol I'll certainly try [05:20] I'll check back in and let ya know how i turned out :) [05:20] trebel: Correct... not able to see [05:20] peace my friend [05:20] I have a .patch file I want to run. Does anybody know what command I need to use to run it? [05:21] MdL054: A bien tot; I'll be around sometimes [05:21] kirk, that works appropriately [05:21] deostroll: you probably mounted it in ext3 instead of fat [05:21] does that mean the permissions are set properly? [05:21] yes [05:21] ok, thank you. [05:21] man patch [05:21] werd [05:21] deostroll: if its a small enough file i would just upload it to google then get it in windows [05:21] Kalamansi, if that doesn't work, try "http://home". [05:21] sprechen sie deutsches [05:21] ? [05:21] Do you have particular experience with setting up vsftpd with virtual user? [05:21] lgc : i see.. i cannot connect to my modem ip... my isp is the one who setup it. they wont allow me to access it.. the modem is already set "routing" not bridge .. is it okay? [05:21] Trebel: Hehe I never thought of that... [05:22] MdL054: nope just french and english, i go into french every now and again for some reason. === Neskaya is now known as Hugglehug [05:22] i need to uninstall a file i downloaded http://www.paulbetts.org/projects/libflashsupport_1.0~2219-2_i386.deb [05:22] Trebel: I'll c ya when I boot my windows. [05:22] but it only gives me the option to reinstall the driver... [05:22] deostroll: ok [05:22] sehr gut :) [05:22] i want to completely remove it from the system [05:22] \quit leaving [05:22] lgc : when i type "http://home", firefox redirected me to this site http://www.home.com/ [05:23] edwardxp, man dpkg and look for options to remove [05:23] hey guys [05:23] plane leave at 2:00 I should get going [05:23] :) [05:23] cya [05:23] good to be back on ubuntu [05:23] ciao [05:23] Kalamansi, are you doing that on your client or from the server? [05:24] in what channel would one ask for support with compiz fusion, emerald and metacity? [05:24] truna : i am now in server [05:24] lgc : truna : i am now in server [05:24] Kalamansi, then such method to access your router doesn't work. [05:25] Kalamansi, what? [05:25] kirk: what's the default directory for the vsftpd binary? [05:25] marshall: #compiz-fusion if anyone is awake :} [05:25] i dunno [05:25] ./usr/bin [05:25] ? [05:25] Kalamansi okay [05:25] bazhang: lol ok thanks [05:26] edward@edward-desktop:~$ sudo dpkg --unpack libflashsupport_1.0~2219-2_i386.deb doesn't work :(* [05:26] no worries [05:26] Kalamansi, can you read my pm to you? read that tutorial .. [05:26] Kalamansi, I'd suggest you take a look at the following page: http://portforward.com/default.htm . [05:27] What is the USB group name in Ubuntu? [05:27] Kalamansi, you can find specific help for your box there almost surely. [05:27] truna : ok.. lgc : ok i will read that up [05:27] anvo: plugdev [05:28] any one help me [05:28] grrrr...the command "sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart" isn't giving me the normal notifications about starting/stopping the stuff..why???? [05:28] No plugdev group in my Ubuntu!!!! [05:28] truna : lgc : im afraid to missed up with my ubuntu again hehehe. thats why i badly need advices on " internet sharing, traffic shapping, firewall setup and blocking dangerous sites or set policy" thanks [05:28] edwardxp, to remove a package its dpkg -P packagename [05:29] powerdev, maybe? [05:29] anvo: result on my box of command: groups :user adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev scanner lpadmin admin netdev powerdev burning [05:29] Kalamansi, slow down, only one at a time, you have to understand NAT and port forwarding first [05:29] Hmmm...

[05:30] how do i install pidgin in feisty fawn... [05:31] Proteque: Yes. Just make sure ntfs ones have filesystem marked clean. [05:31] truna : pc2 can now connec internet... [05:31] Kalamansi, what did you do? [05:31] genii: what does that mean? [05:31] Kalamansi okay good, now what do you want to do next? [05:31] Kalamansi: success? [05:32] genii, it has been available for ages; why was it removed from the repostories, do you know? [05:32] ya i have downloadd it from getdeb.com and installed after uninstalling gaim. but i cannot see the pidgin in the internet menu [05:32] Proteque: In windows, run the chkdsk command on the drive to make sure no filesystem errors [05:32] ah like that [05:32] thak you [05:32] bazhang truna yah success. pc2 can now connect internet [05:32] thank [05:32] Proteque: np [05:32] i need to know how to know how to down load java for pogo games [05:33] please [05:33] sathk: ya i have downloadd it from getdeb.com and installed after uninstalling gaim. but i cannot see the pidgin in the internet menu [05:33] !java | xubuntu [05:33] xubuntu: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) === jetscreamer is now known as her [05:33] genni: ya i have downloadd it from getdeb.com and installed after uninstalling gaim. but i cannot see the pidgin in the internet menu [05:33] sethk: Perhaps now it is available in backports. But afaik still gaim is standard in feisty, pidgin in gutsy [05:33] truna : bazhang now is assigning policy...if i use firestarter im sure pc2 will disconnected from the net....i dont want to reinstall ubuntu again [05:33] sethk: gaim had to change the name, aol complained I guess [05:34] !info pidgin feisty [05:34] nickrud, ah, yes, now I remember [05:34] Package pidgin does not exist in feisty [05:34] Kalamansi, you just have to learn to make iptables rules [05:34] See above [05:34] help me [05:34] hello.. is there a command to change my screensaver? i can't get into the screensaver settings because ubuntu will freeze every time i do because it doesn't seem to like one particular screensaver (which is the one i set it to). [05:34] Kalamansi, did you ever read the tutorial I pasted to you in private? [05:34] truna : bazhang : internet sharing is done.. i use eth2 and gateway is 192.168.0.2.. how to setup firewall and assign policies? [05:34] Kalamansi: best do some reading first--this is not a quick fix five minute thing [05:34] yeah truna im on it [05:35] truna : so i will not use firestarter? [05:35] nickrud, I ran into the at work today with 7.10. I should have rmembered. [05:35] Kalamansi, if you are on it, read that gandalf tutorial on iptables, firestarter uses iptables [05:35] truna : im sure pc2 will disconnected again [05:35] truna : ok [05:35] Kalamansi: you can clear all rules in a firewall sudo iptables -F [05:35] Is there a reason why IE would display a 404 but not Firefox? (I'm setting the header(404) in PHP) [05:36] shazo bah no wonder tab completion no good, they left === her is now known as JudyJetson [05:36] Kalamansi, much easier me think than firestarter, am biased since i have not learned firestarter..manual hack..heh [05:36] nickrud : ahhh ok.. im also doing research on how to cheat the sheet of terminal commands easy way [05:36] truna : hehehe i am not good in typing in terminal [05:36] nickrud, I wondered how xchat magically appears. New name; make sense. [05:37] firefly2442: that happened to me when i got a virus in windows, had IE connecting through a proxy server sometimes [05:37] Is there anyway to rid the handles? I guess you'd call them on a panel that isn't expanded? like when I put full transparency on a panel both ends are still white. Can I get rid of them? [05:37] how do i get extract on my menu in nautilus? [05:37] sethk: xchat is old, I'm not sure what you mean [05:37] Trebel: no IE is doing it correctly, I want the 404 to show up, I'm actually setting it in a PHP page [05:37] how can i connect to my windows machine from my ubuntu laptop?? [05:37] truna i just migrated to ubuntu tho very fast internet so far than xp home. i made a tally i install fresh ubuntu and fresh xp home. i compared it by browsing the net. ubuntu is fast than xp home [05:37] oh, nm then [05:37] nickrud, I've got Gutsy on one USB external drive, Hardy on another, MS-Windows on the internal drive. Working toward being able to ditch MS-Windows as my host system, and use Ubuntu. So testing early and often for hardware support is key. [05:38] i went to System -> Network when i try to connect im supplying my username and password and domain MSHOME [05:38] Kalamansi, okay [05:38] nickrud, You said there is a problem with the name, so ubuntu changed the name. If that's not what you meant to say, tell me. [05:38] NoelJB: yup, I see your reasons. I'm more patient :) [05:39] sethk: gaim became pidgin, xchat is a separate app. If I misunderstood you it's not a unique experience in my life [05:39] so.. i downloaded kde4.. blah. [05:39] sethk: I'm resigned to screwing up while listening :) [05:39] nickrud, no, I probably said gaim, [05:40] truna: same thing with bulmer. i mean the typing words or whatever that thing you call but advance [05:40] NoelJB, having two external USB drive, how does your bios tell which of the two it can boot from? [05:40] nickrud, my fault this time. :) [05:40] Hola. [05:40] Can you guys recomend some themes for my new Ubuntu? :) [05:41] What are some good themes for Ubuntu? [05:41] flamesage: www.gnome-look.org [05:41] flamesage: I like gion icons, use generic control themes [05:41] Well yeah [05:41] !cheat sheet [05:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about cheat sheet - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:41] I looked there.. [05:41] But.. I didn't find anything good. [05:41] flamesage: art.gnome.org tries to select the quality ones [05:41] Any themes you guys personally like? [05:41] supersako, basic question: is samba installed on configured? [05:41] i've looked there too >_> [05:42] flamesage: milk [05:42] i have samba installed yes [05:42] on the ubuntu machine right? [05:42] heh [05:42] how do I install the nvidia panel? [05:42] flamesage: i really like mandolux for my backgrounds [05:42] truna : what are the other ker word aside from " cheat sheet" ? cannot find some cheat sheet typing . someone told me here (i forgot his nick) that there is an "old school" term for hacking the cheat sheet for easy typing [05:42] supersako, yes, the other side is really windows. [05:42] Any otheres you guys prefer? [05:43] theshadow, same way it was installed in the first place. [05:43] doesnt samba come with ubuntu? [05:43] I have this DVD9 unencrypted directory, with VIDEO_TS, what gui burning software can I use to burn this to a Dual Layer DVD-R I have? [05:43] i have 7.19 [05:43] flamesage: not really the right channel for this; best to join offtopic [05:43] 7.10* [05:43] how do I join that? [05:43] Kalamansi, i dont know, a cheat sheet is basically a shortcut notes [05:43] sethk: that doesn't really help. [05:43] do /j #ubuntu-offtopic [05:43] sethk: if I knew that I wouldn't have asked [05:43] flamesage: /join #ubuntu-offtopic or click on the link [05:44] hello all, is there a way to have different desktop images on the switcher like kde? [05:44] sid not sure have you tried devede? [05:45] whats is a fast bit torrent for linux? [05:45] hmm i need a samba server running in order to access windows?? i thought thats if i want windows to acess linux [05:45] ForgetYouNot: If you have the RAM, azureus, if not, probably uTorrent through wine [05:45] ForgetYouNot: bittyrant [05:45] hey guys i've installed the propreitry ati driver, i cant start compiz cause the dual head resolution is to high. but when i try to change it in xorg.conf it seems to have no affect. would the res be stored somewhere else? [05:45] ForgetYouNot: rtorrent [05:45] sid that new wodim seems to do lots, dont know if it can do your DVD9 to dual layer [05:46] thanks for the info [05:46] supersako, it's included in the repositories. You may need to install it with apt-get (or synaptic). [05:46] !info samba [05:46] sethk why would i need samba-server to access windows [05:46] samba: a LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.26a-1ubuntu2.3 (gutsy), package size 3751 kB, installed size 9212 kB [05:46] truna, pretty easily, actually. I get a menu asking me from which drive I want to boot. [05:46] supersako, what do you really want to do anyways between windows and linux? [05:47] truna, and I have more than two USB drives. those are just the ones currently housing bootable systems. [05:47] supersako, I didn't say samba server, I side the entire samba. [05:47] its optionul supersako [05:47] e [05:47] well [05:47] i am on a linux laptop on my wireless network just need to access my windows computer on the server and get my music [05:47] supersako, installing it is very quick, so install it and eliminate that variable. [05:47] supersako, you don't. I was just browsing the local LAN here with a clean Hardy install. [05:48] NoelJB, thanks for satisfying my curiosity, i didnt realize boot from usb will seek all bootable usb drives it sees [05:48] sethk i dont want a process running if i dont need it ( samba server ) [05:48] truna, depends on your BIOS, I suppose. [05:49] supersako, I never said to run the server (which actually get's launched if an approriate request arrives, which means it not really runnin) [05:49] yeah short cut note truna [05:49] NoelJB, right, am still on an old mobo, cant even support a usb boot, well maybe usb fdd as i was able touse damn small linux [05:49] supersako, at a minimum you need sambafs [05:49] hello i have a question why videos go blank ( black ) on VLC player?? i mean it plays fine in any player excpet VLC it plays for few seconds but if i touch the window it goes black .. and only the audio plays .. any suggestions??? thank you PLEASE HELP [05:49] i tried with samba same error [05:49] whabo: with compiz? [05:50] truna : bazhang the bruce lee : lgc : thanks alot i am reading it now.. [05:50] supersako, so you basically have some files in windows and want to transfer those to linux? [05:50] I just applied some updates to a fiesty box and rebooted and X won't start. Last message in the logs is "Fatal server error: no screens found" [05:50] Wireless problem: Under Feisty and Gutsy, I my compaq laptop can detect my wireless hub, but no application can actually reach the net. I have tried manual configuration instead of NetworkManager - System/Administration/Network shows the wireless connection as active. Still no net access (eg with Firefox). anybody have any suggestions? [05:50] bazhang yes with compiz [05:50] Kalamansi, happy reading! [05:50] supersako, tell us what you mean. Tell us what you ran, and tell is the _exact_ response. [05:50] any idea why [05:50] supersako, I can do that right now without installing anything beyond a clean install. What problem are you having? [05:50] nvidia module shows up using lsmod [05:50] whabo: what about with compiz disabled? does that work? [05:50] !ati [05:50] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:50] qfour21: did it rewrite your xorg.conf file? [05:50] bazhang : yes if i disable compiz [05:51] SamHamwich, in the routing table, the default route should point to the wireless access point. [05:51] Note; I did (and do) connect OK under Edgy [05:51] bazbang: tho any other player plays it fine.... [05:51] Trebel: not that I know of. My customizations (resolution and such) are still there. [05:51] supersako, Places -> Network -> Windows Network -> [my network] -> [our systems] -> [their resources] working fine. I'm browsing as I type. [05:51] ya i did that [05:51] SamHamwich, does your pc have an ip address? check via iwconfig wlan0 assuming wlan0 is your nic name [05:51] thanks sethk. where do i find the routing table? [05:51] how do i get extract on my menu in nautilus? [05:51] i get up to C$ folder [05:52] whabo: I have had that problem as well; suspect it is more compiz related then ubuntu though--I just shut down compiz when watching movies as a workaround--you can also ask in the compiz-fusion channel if anyone is around :} [05:52] SamHamwich, at the command line, route (no arguments) lists the current routing table. There is a flag for netstat to get it in the netstat output. [05:52] help i need to know how down lode java to play games on pogo please [05:52] bazhang thank you [05:52] xubuntu: what is pogo? [05:52] truna : bazhang : lgc : lunch time be back in a few. =) thanks [05:52] no worries whabo [05:52] bazhang : do you sleep? [05:52] you always chat [05:53] Dual boot not loading. Help... [05:53] supersako, are you sure that the system you are browsing to has anything else shared? [05:53] hehe [05:53] Kalamansi: I am a bot [05:53] SamHamwich, easiest way to run "route" at the command line. See what the settings are currently. [05:53] ok lunch [05:53] hmm [05:53] bazbang im playing the DVD with mplayer and it plays it fine but VLC cant ... o well ill stick with mplayer [05:53] waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bazhang [05:53] ya let me check the shared folders === JudyJetson is now known as jetscreamer [05:53] qfour21: i hate that error, could be many things, for me its always been a nvidia problem, but as long as your loading the right drivers, nvidia instead of nv you should be ok [05:53] bazhang : serious? [05:53] !bazhang [05:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about bazhang - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:53] prob stupid windows giving me problems ;) [05:53] !bot [05:53] deostroll: what did you do? [05:53] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [05:53] Kalamansi: see you after lunch [05:53] nah you are not [05:53] ok ok bazhang [05:53] no I am not [05:53] bazhang : gua ai di [05:53] truna, i don't see an ip address, unless it is "Access Point: 00:18:02:70:5F:08" [05:54] keep in mind that we're only browsing storage resources. not printers, etc., as far as I can see (since I know which of our systems export printers, and I only see the file system shares). [05:54] SamHamwich, lest you get an ip address, you can not get anywhere === Kalamansi is now known as Kalamansi-Lunch [05:54] bazhang, last I checked, bot's don't get lunch. [05:54] Trebel: downloaded the file from google and followed the instructions as per that web page. The system sits idle when I select ubuntu... [05:54] NoelJB, that's the mac address at a layer lower than you are interested in. [05:55] man wtf is up wtin efnet servers [05:55] whabo: contrary to popular opinion mplayer is just as good or better than vlc--at least imo [05:55] deostroll: are you using vista or xp? [05:55] SamHamwich, do this, iwconfig wlan0 and pastebin the results [05:55] sethk: haha [05:55] mplayer is good i like totem though [05:55] Trebel: I use xp. [05:55] i actually dont even like vlc my two cents [05:55] sethk, Huh? Context? [05:55] how can i change nautilus for thunar? (mean default) [05:56] sethk and truna, "route" shows an I.P. address of 192.168.1.0 [05:56] sethk, or did you just mean that for someone else, e.g., SamHamwich ? [05:56] SamHamwich, lest you get an ip address, you can not get anywhere..pastebin your iwconfig wlan0 results [05:56] hello [05:56] noeljb not for you, sorry, I was confusing two users. [05:56] sethk, :-) [05:56] deostroll: did you get my pm? [05:57] umm.. pastebin? sorry, i don't know the term [05:57] Trebel: no. [05:57] is there a way to run gnome and kde, not at the same time but on the same machine [05:57] !pastebin | SamHamwich [05:57] SamHamwich: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [05:57] truna, sorry, i don't know "pastebin" [05:57] heatmzzr, sure. [05:57] heatmzzr: you can run gnome and kde at the same time, it just sucks. [05:57] I have a question.. [05:57] haha [05:58] heatmzzr, simply install both, you can choose one at login time [05:58] If I download Kubuntu Hardy Alpha 3, will I be able to simply do a sudo apt-get update to upgrade to the new KDE 4.0? [05:58] heatmzzr, I thought you said "not at once" [05:58] deostroll: essentially what you're doing is copying your linux kernel to your windows partition and booting off of it, the problem with this is each time you do a kernel update you're going to have to do this all over again [05:58] flamesage, Hardy is in the #ubuntu+1 channel [05:58] heatmzzr, I have gnome and kde (not to mention several other) desktops installed. [05:58] deostroll: with the old redhat and lilo this was necessary, but grub is a much better bootloader, go here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [05:59] deostroll: it will overwrite your MBR and have linux manage it instead of windows [06:00] NoelJB: I'm back with questions... (nvidia 7900 - driver probs...) [06:00] I did a nvidia-installer --update (which updated me to the version you linked me to) and it works fine BUT after a reboot gdm to load. I've check my xorg.conf it does not change - i even deleted it did a dpkg-reconfigure (as stated in the xorg.conf) then ran the nvidia-xconfig, nothing works. ANY IDEAS? [06:00] Trebel: Ok will check it out. Thanks. [06:00] SamHamwich, that's not an IP, it's the base of an ip block. [06:01] help can,t download java please help [06:01] ok ima newbie. sethk, how do i do that? [06:01] deostroll: np, with what you've already done you can do this no problem [06:01] scurry7, that's just weird. check the permissions on /etc/X11. I can give you my config, for all the good it might do. [06:01] yay it works [06:01] it was microbsoft windows ;( [06:02] scurry7: sudo nvidia-xconfig ? [06:02] supersako, ain't it always the case ... LOL [06:02] NoelJB: well the thing is my xorg.conf is working now === jetscreamer is now known as JudyJetson [06:02] Trebel: let me try that (inside gdm or shoud i stop it first?) [06:02] you have to stop it [06:03] sethk, truna... i've pasted the output from iwconfig eth1 and route at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51531/ [06:03] scurry7, so what exactly is the problem, if your xorg.conf is OK now? [06:03] compiz fusion kicks ass [06:03] language jklfdjskl [06:03] scurry7: ctrl alt f4 [06:03] lol ok [06:04] NoelJB: i dont think it the xorg.conf......(the config stays the same, but when i reboot all of a sudden gdm will not load (with out having to reinstall the driver from nvidia script)) [06:04] Trebel: sorry if forgot i did the nvidia-xconfig already [06:04] SamHamwich, try using an IP address instead of chico. Using a name, you are vulnerable to dns problems. [06:05] SamHamwich, can you add your ifconfig eth1 results too? we'd like to see your ip address [06:05] scurry7: was just making sure you did it as superuser [06:05] hey i'm on xubuntu , im' trying to put a dock on like zenwalk has [06:05] how do I do that? install avant-window-navigator? [06:05] Trebel: oh right...( i did it as superuser - :-[) [06:06] sethk, how do i "use" an i.p. address [06:06] all: so if it is not my xorg.conf what else can i check??? [06:06] For some reason I can't get 1400x1050 running with X. Running Gutsy on a lenovo thinkpad T60 with a Radeon Mobility X1300. Here is my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.ca/850447 [06:06] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6S-_5ZjLHKc&NR=1 [06:06] htmljunkie: not sure what the zenwalk one looks like but awn is a dock like thing yes [06:07] other than upgrading hardware, how can i rid myself of that annoying black flicker on the firefox menu bar when i open it [06:07] how do i install it? [06:07] kirk: is there a support question tied to that video? [06:07] oops wrong room [06:07] yes [06:07] thier is just let me find it [06:07] SamHamwich, you use ###.###.###.### instead of "chico" in your example. [06:07] scurry7, weird. [06:08] htmljunkie: the forums have some info, and a simple net search of ubuntu gutsy awn will yield some nice walkthroughs [06:08] hi there all, Can someone help me out with a problem I am currently having with firefox here in ubuntu, I just installed ubuntu again and For the past few days I havent been able to figure out why anyyy kind of media wont load correctly in ff [06:08] sethk and truna, i've added ifconfig to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51533/ [06:08] k [06:09] sethk, how do i install kde desktop and pick which one to run or whatever? [06:09] sethk, sounds reasonable. how do i get an I.P. address, and how do i add it to the table? [06:10] SamHamwich, the "chico" is that something you have added or is that something that came from your dhcp server (ap/dhcp server?) [06:10] heatmzzr, Easiest way is to use synaptic, which has a KDE section. If you know the pseudo-package name, you can just sudo apt-get install kde-desktop [06:10] For some reason I can't get 1400x1050 running with X. Running Gutsy on a lenovo thinkpad T60 with a Radeon Mobility X1300. Here is my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.ca/850447 [06:10] heatmzzr, the install adds it to the list of available desktops. Then, at the login screen, you change the session. [06:11] hi there all, Can someone help me out with a problem I am currently having with firefox here in ubuntu, I just installed ubuntu again and For the past few days I havent been able to figure out why anyyy kind of media wont load correctly in ff [06:11] heatmzzr, there are numerous login managers around, but I'm sure you'll find it for the one you are using. [06:12] SamHamwich, easy question first. You run a "route add ..." command to add it to the routing table. You remove the current values, also using the route command with route delete [06:12] roky: what kind of media ? [06:12] SamHamwich, hopefully "host chico" will show you the IP of chico [06:13] Char: comment out the line "DisplaySize 370 277" ... btw, i have tp z60m with 1400x1050 [06:13] <_MattB> how can i get the progress of a dd operation? the example from the man page seems to give statistics on the speed, but nothing about how much has completed [06:13] anything rrbiz, mp3, wav, and type of video files anything media and it either wont display or is all messed up with the play button in the middle of the screen or something [06:13] IcemanV9: will try, thanks. [06:13] sethk did he add that "chico" manually? or was that doled out by the dhcp server in his AP? [06:14] truna, don't know. My ubuntu boxes use IPs when I get info from a dhcp server, but I'm not sure that's universally true. === JudyJetson is now known as jetscreamer [06:14] roky: earlier i couldn't play flash video due to the plugin not being in the right place [06:15] sethk i think that is pretty universal, how he got that "chico" in the route tables, he must have added those manually [06:15] erm, I installed it with ff though [06:15] roky: this is feisty? gutsy [06:15] gutsy [06:15] bazhang [06:16] IcemanV9: unfortunately that didn't work. [06:16] roky: do you have the ubuntu-restricted-extras installed? [06:16] I restarted X and nothing. [06:16] bazhang, I doubt it, lmao [06:16] the problem was that I tried to install the ati-driver-installer [06:16] roky: well that would be a starting point--check if that is installed [06:17] char: did you follow the wiki on installing ATI? that's where i got it to work on mine [06:18] bazhang, Im installing with terminal right now [06:18] i need to get a good ISO burning prog. can anyone help?????????? [06:18] I've reverted back to the original driver now. [06:18] The restricted driver. [06:18] roky: that should hopefully clear it up [06:18] Just trying to get my resolution back to normal. [06:18] char: also, i was able to get 1680x1050 to work; much better resolution than 1440 one [06:18] bazhang, yes I hope so [06:18] bruce....do you need to make iso's or to be able to burn them to a disk? [06:18] BRUCE_: for burning iso files youcan right clikc open with cd/dvd creator [06:19] i tryed it didnt burn [06:19] How can I check what driver I have installed? [06:19] hey all [06:19] BRUCE_: this is in ubuntu right? windows uses something different [06:19] Hi, can someone tell me how to install an older version of a program (namely libboost-date-time) [06:19] when I boot my system with ndiswrapper in /etc/modules, it hangs for about 6 minutes on login [06:19] im on 7.10 === rencore__ is now known as rencore_ [06:20] BRUCE_: what iso file--that might be the problem [06:20] IcemanV9: It's still reading my card as an X1400 for some reason. [06:20] char: fglrxinfo [06:20] does anyone know if there's a simple fix, or if this is a bigger underlying ndiswrapper issue? [06:20] anyone? [06:20] winkman: why would you want to do that? [06:20] in a new OS called gOS (based ok 7.10) [06:21] on [06:21] gOS != Ubuntu 7.10 [06:21] haxality, i believe its because its attempting to search for AP, and associate at boot? [06:21] it's heavily based on it, but it's not identical [06:21] bazhang: because a program (campcaster) requires libboost-date-time1.33.1 and i have libboost1.34.1... [06:21] BRUCE_: oh, then wrong channel that is not ubuntu and not supported here [06:21] truna, that could very well be possible! is there a way to prevent this? [06:21] IcemanV9: http://pastebin.ca/850457 [06:21] or change the timeout period? [06:21] in talking about buring tho! [06:21] ... [06:22] BRUCE_, I didn't mean to sound like I was shooing you away [06:22] how do i download jave used to play games on pogo? please [06:22] what's the channel for the beta ubuntu chat? [06:22] char: after you installed the video driver, did you try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" ? [06:22] BRUCE_: who knows how gOS does things? no one here certainly [06:22] bazhang: so do you know? [06:22] IcemanV9: Yea, I'm not sure what to put for all of the settings. [06:22] haxality, umm dont load ndiswrapper at boot? [06:22] :( [06:22] koshaboi: #ubuntu-offtopic [06:22] ok... but5 i meant burning (in just need a good burner) [06:22] bazhang, gOS is a dumbed down version of ubuntu [06:22] I was hoping there was a less kludgy way than that :P [06:23] !hardy | koshaboi [06:23] koshaboi: 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 [06:23] BRUCE_, if you have the kde libs, k3b is excellent. [06:23] winkman campcaster? not really sure--you might try the forums/search engines [06:23] BRUCE_, it's basically like using nero on windows [06:23] char: it should be automatically created a new one without asking [06:23] coo, i preciate the hellp [06:23] bazhang: It's a radio broadcasting app, www.campware.org [06:23] thanx [06:23] It asks me to fill out information. [06:23] BRUCE_, any time [06:24] take care [06:24] BRUCE_: there are plenty of good burners, but as gOS uses e17 not sure what they support--best to go to their support site [06:25] char: your video has mesa and mine has ATI (x600); little difference [06:25] im pretty happy with xfce i dont think ill bother changing to e17 [06:25] IcemanV9: Probably why that other thing didn't work. =P [06:25] well, the install didnt work [06:26] Are KDE4 packages up yet? [06:26] * mypapit out!!! [06:26] hi [06:26] hi everyone.... i'm having problem with my wireless connection.... anyone willing to help?

[06:27] well the drivers for a ATI Card? [06:28] roky: the install failed? can you be more precise? those are the packages you need [06:28] sethk, truna... i just realized, the stuff I pastebin'd for you was from my current session under edgy - it won't help with the feisty/gutsy problem. I'lll have to disconnect, to re-boot under gutsy and try the stuff you suggested. I'll come back with (at least) the correct output if i can't fix it. thanks [06:28] * IcemanV9 just reread his reply ... man, must be tired [06:28] sandma2: want a factoid/link? [06:29] ok [06:29] bazhang: no,, the install finished with 0 errors, but for some reason or another. it still is displayed alll messed up like it was before [06:29] !ati | sandma2 [06:29] sandma2: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:29] sandma2: follow the wiki --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [06:29] roky: you did quit and restart firefox right? [06:29] bazhang: lawl, yeah [06:30] roky: what are the precise errors you are getting? problems with flash? mp3 what [06:31] when will flash be fixed ugh [06:31] bazhang: there's no errors in firefox literally. It says its actually completed the page and loaded it, but when I look at it, all media is messed up totally. There's not really an "error" message displayed [06:31] roky: messed up? like black screen for flash or what and what about streaming mp3 [06:31] hmmmm doesnt seem to reconize the card?? What could be wrong?? [06:32] sandma2: what card? do you have the correct drivers installed? [06:33] bazhang: streaming mp3, unless its embedded, and even then it wont play. Like for instance on myspace, trying to play something for music, the player acts like its about to load into the song. But it ends up disappearing. For videos, all the buttons are all over the video screen, the play buttong will be right in the middle of the movie screen, the pause button will be where the fast forward button is suppose to be etc...

[06:35] sandma2: are you a speed reader? :} those links should be able to get you going [06:35] bazhang: lmao, nah bro. Nvidia, I ran the glx install then I installed all the compiz fusion through updates and synaptic [06:36] they say to use the Restricted Driver Manager but there are no drivers there [06:36] roky: ah good phew! with compiz running? there seems to be a lot of complaints with compiz and video these days--did you see how it is with compiz disabled--this might pinpoint the problem [06:36] yuhu...

[06:46] roky: I understand that, but there are certain situations where I need to connect to a network quickly without adding it to my list, is there anything like mIRC's /server -m argument? [06:46] phuzion: ^T [06:46] phuzion: I personally don't know maybe someone else here would. [06:46] IcemanV9: How would i do that?? [06:46] SeveredCross: Control+T? [06:47] Yeah. [06:47] Doesn't work [06:47] It'll open a new server tab for you. [06:47] ls [06:47] exit [06:47] Works for me phuzion. [06:47] What version you running? [06:47] Other than that, there are no flags to pass to server. [06:47] Uh, 2.8.5e (on Windows right nwo) but I know I've used it in Gutsy and in Hardy. [06:47] Oh, wow [06:48] I'm using some xchat-gnome 0.18 version [06:48] what the hell [06:48] Ah. [06:48] I'm gonna update this real quick [06:48] Remove xchat-gnome, install just plain' xchat. [06:48] Alright [06:48] this is really strange.... on netstat i'm seeing two established connections on two interfaces.... these wireless interfaces are connected to two different APs.... both are transferring at 30 kbps, now if i cut down the first connection, the second connection goes up to 60, as if ubuntu is treating the two cards as connected to just one AP.... [06:48] okay it automounted now [06:48] wierd [06:49] That was easy [06:49] gcc comes with the standard ubuntu server installation, correct? [06:50] jerkface03: you want to compile? install build-essential [06:50] does that include 4.1 or 4.2?

Thanks for all help! [07:01] I've got a question about restricted drivers [07:01] I tried to install the restricted drivers for my nVidia geforce 4 [07:01] I am running a 32 bit Ubuntu and I was wondering could I use 64 bit kernel on it ? can that be done [07:02] hello Kniggit: what was the outcome? [07:02] and I got the message that "The software source for the package 'nvidia-glx' is not enabled. sorry for the drawn out question [07:02] whereas 2 hours ago I had xubuntu on this same system with no issue in this regard [07:02] Kniggit, that means you need to enable the Universe repository in Synaptic I think [07:03] How do I check for mouse inputs? There was a command, I forgot it [07:03] malnilion: I appreciate the advice [07:03] Kniggit: check this out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [07:04] Kniggit: sorry this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [07:05] what is the best tool to do auto backup of user documents?

[07:07] Kniggit, you're welcome :) [07:08] for some reason all my software sources were disabled [07:08] That's never good, lol [07:08] What's AMD64 support like nowadays? [07:08] Is Flash still an issue? === jalen is now known as Jalen2 [07:08] Mouse, check, please? lol === DiCha_cHa-Cha is now known as SaySKY [07:09] The threads I can find easily on the forums are about a year old, so I don't know if things have improved. [07:09] There was a program that checked key and mouse inputs and told you how its mapped. Know what I'm talking about? [07:09] hello [07:10] Verithrax: things have inproved. However, flash (for everyone) is broken right now. [07:10] how can I reinstall the grub? [07:10] !grub | vontux [07:10] vontux: 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 [07:10] vontux: first link [07:10] does anyone know if you can upgrade from xubuntu to normal ubuntu after the install of xubuntu [07:10] Flash is broken? [07:10] hi.. can someone help me compile tiny OS 1.1 [07:10] wsguede, yes [07:10] On the production version of the distro? Since when? [07:10] Hello everyone. How can I make an external USB hard disk rw instead of ro? I've tried the mount -o user,rw,exec,umask=000 /mnt/sda5 and it doesnt' unlock it. [07:10] malnilion: thanks [07:10] hello all.. how can i enable disable an NIC? i have 2 NIC. [07:11] flash works fine for me [07:11] wsguede, just install the xubuntu-desktop package [07:11] using command line [07:11] charlz, ifconfig nickname up to enable ifconfig nickname down to disable [07:11] Verithrax: Adobe changed the file. Flash (when installed) downloads the tar file from adobe's site. [07:11] charlz: I would either physically remove it (in the case of a PCI card) or disable it in BIOS. [07:11] wsguede, or the regular ubuntu desktop rather, lol [07:11] malnilion: I have a pent 4 (2.7 ghz) 256 mb computer [07:11] Flannel: What a brilliant idea, that. [07:11] malnilion: so the install of ubuntu is rather slow [07:11] ok ill try thanx.. [07:12] malnilion: what does ubuntu normally use.. mem wise [07:12] Verithrax: Blame Adobe. (Or, look at it as one more benefit of OSS, not having to wait for things to be fixed) [07:12] malnilion: or do you think I should just stick with xubuntu [07:13] Flannel: Yep. I suppose copyright issues keep the real repos from mirroring the Flash stuff. [07:13] wsguede, I wish I could tell you how much memory it uses, but your computer *should* run ubuntu alright [07:13] yeah it works.. thnx ppl [07:13] But was Flash working for 64-bit users before Adobe decided to be cute? [07:14] malnilion: maybe I will stick with xubuntu for a little while, and then try ubuntu later if need be [07:14] Is there a bug with ubuntu where opening large text files causes 100% CPU and never finishes loading? [07:14] wsguede, you're not missing out on too horribly much by sticking with xubuntu in my opinion [07:14] I have a 2.9meg mysqldump file that i tried to open in both 'text editor' and open office writer and it's just been sitting on 100% cpu usage for the past 5 mins or so (still not open) [07:15] malnilion: good to know [07:15] hello again how to manually configure network cards in the command line [07:15] wsguede, I mean xfce is like stripped down gnome that runs quicker and uses less resources, but might not have all the flashy features that gnome does [07:16] charlz, that would depend on what exactly you want to do [07:17] malnilion: that's fine with me I guess... I am new to linux all together... so I won't be missing anything at all in the beginning... and I am putting this on the shittiest computer I have... so if I like it enough... maybe I will have it on the best one in no time [07:17] wsguede, hope you like it :) [07:17] malnilion << i want to manually set a dynamic or static ip. [07:17] language wsguede [07:17] malnilion: you and me both buddy, I have spent so many cds to get this thing to work its not funny [07:17] bazhang: english [07:18] ? [07:18] oh [07:18] I get what ur saying [07:18] haha [07:18] yah [07:18] sorry about the poopy word [07:19] charlz, read "man ifconfig" [07:19] That might have what you need [07:19] I installed 32 ubuntu and dual core ,but when I put kernel x86_64 I come up with this This package contains the Linux kernel image for version 2.6.22 on [07:19] malnilion: ok thanx. [07:19] x86/x86_64 ? dose the mean I have that kernel on here some where [07:19] charlz dyndns [07:19] or read dns and bind the book [07:20] ok thanx all for the help.. [07:21] kirk, that seems like a bit of a read just to get dynamic or static ip address working :P [07:22] its ok malnilion, i'll just try to read it, even if it too long.. :) [07:22] would you say that xubuntu is the best unbuntu version to run on a slow/older computer? [07:22] Well...best "official" ubuntu version [07:22] slackware [07:22] There's also fluxbuntu [07:22] dsl [07:23] what's good about that version? [07:23] vs x [07:23] damnit, hard deps suck [07:23] you'd think i'd be able to remove cups without much grief [07:23] slackware is official ubuntu? :} [07:24] wsguede, xubuntu is very small and clean but has a gnome touch [07:24] absolutely not [07:24] gentoo is however debian [07:24] yes [07:24] i like the gnome touch....very easy to configure [07:24] It uses fluxbox which is even lighter on resources...I'm not sure you'd want to jump straight into fluxbox, but you might take it for a test drive in your xubuntu install [07:25] hmm [07:25] hey all, how do i make a windows mount writeable? [07:25] whats the params i need in my fstab? [07:25] say something about your hardware wsguede [07:25] hello all.. is there any best guide out there to setup an ip routing? [07:25] beelze what do you mean? [07:25] your prozessor and your ram [07:26] Beelze: as in my 2.7 ghz pent 4, 256 mb mem [07:26] p4 256mb [07:26] yeah [07:26] that [07:26] I just installed 2gb additional ram on my machine bringing it up to 4gb... on the main page hardware shows only 3.2gb of memory.. what gives? [07:26] i would use xubuntu on that... [07:26] do you have the 64 bit version? [07:26] that's what I thought [07:26] what does the terminal command free say [07:26] ta1: 32-bit operating system can't use the full 4 gigs [07:26] but thats not really a slow computer :-) [07:27] not really slow... but the mem is killing me! [07:27] how can I tell if I am running 32bit version? I thought I installed the 64bit but I may be mistaken [07:27] 32bit normal kernels can not use all of the 4 gig memory space, but a special version of the kernel called the PAE version can use up to 64 gigs of mem in a 32 bit kernel [07:27] its my dads old computer... and I begged him for it so that I can try linux out with out having to use dual boot (i tend to always boot into windows then) [07:28] full xubuntu desktop uses about 60 mb ram with irc/aim [07:28] can't i beg adduser command not to ask me Full Name, Room Number etc? [07:28] how do I check for 64bit version? it seems like I have tried to install several x86 versions and it always made me get the 64bit [07:28] reenignEesreveR, you can just hit enter through that stuff and give them blank values [07:28] ok so for some reason xubuntu live does NOT work [07:29] uname -r [07:29] I have burned like 4 cds [07:29] 6.06 7.04 7.10 [07:29] and another 7.1 [07:29] wsguede, what doesn't work on it? [07:30] don´t use 52x write speed if you have that [07:30] use a slower mode [07:30] after it goes to the screen that asked me to [07:30] install/try [07:30] intstall oem (manufactures) [07:30] check cd [07:30] ... [07:30] I choose install and it goes blank [07:30] wsguede: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === marko-_-_ is now known as marko-_- [07:31] 2.6.22-14-generic so I assume that is 32bit? [07:31] I choose install and it goes blank [07:31] Is there a way I can change the KDE icon theme from within Gnome? [07:31] wsguede, try to use the acpi=off switch @starup [07:31] ta1: try uname -a [07:31] >? [07:31] Onyx, run kcontrol would be what I'd do [07:31] I would think, yes, 64 bit versions tend to attach 64 to the end of the kernel name, and PAE versions do the same for PAE [07:31] has anyone used the test kernel 2.6.24-rc7 yet? [07:32] 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 05:28:27 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux [07:32] you can edit the bootup line...after the word splash use acpi=off....maybe it works [07:32] ok...my laptop goes blank and than i rebootet without that switch [07:33] does anyone knows where can i find a guide for routing?? [07:33] ta1, grep100: -generic is either 32 or 64 bit. The kernel name itself won't indicate [07:33] uname -r 2.6.23.9-85.fc8PAE [07:33] Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think charlz will be wanting to get his hands dirty with iptables [07:34] wsguede: that's the alternate CD, not the live CD (I believe, unless xubuntu has combined them) [07:34] x86_64? [07:34] Linux chris 2.6.24-rc7-smp [07:34] does anyone have the mail plugin for jpilot? [07:34] but that is in my virtual slack distro [07:34] Could someone help me? I just installed Conky using a guide I found on the Internet. It included a .conkyrc file to use, which I did, and now conky covers the top gnome panel and it is also on top of all other windows. How can I fix this? [07:35] malnilion: I am trying to use adduser to create around 100's of users. I just want to run a file which will create all the users. dun wanna hit 4 enters for every user :( [07:35] charlz, actually ignore that, you probably don't want iptables, I'm not sure about routing guides though [07:35] So any other ideas? [07:35] reenignEesreveR, ah, I see [07:35] no I mean when I enter the screen that says install/try ... start in low grafix ... check cd... I hit install and it goes blank... I am using the live cd [07:35] manilion << where can i find a good guide for iptables? [07:36] bye [07:36] and I wrote the cd at 24x [07:36] reenignEesreveR: use useradd [07:36] Hi. Does the firefox 'find' function allow wildcards and/or multiple disperate searches? [07:36] wsguede << when you want to burn distros, just select a speed of 8x only to be safe always. [07:37] I don't have that choice... it gives me 24x and max... [07:37] which I believe is 24x [07:37] wsguede: When you check the CD, does it verify properly? [07:37] charlz, I really don't know anything about complex networking in linux, I'm afraid [07:37] Question, does the graphical subsystem run on tty1? [07:37] yep... all is well [07:37] Creed: 7 [07:37] tty7 [07:37] wsgued << what type of cdr did you use? [07:37] - [07:37] Flannel, why is 1 not recomended for general use? [07:37] sony [07:38] Creed: Where did you see that 1 wasn't recommended for general use? [07:38] Flannel / robc4 doing a assignment and cant figure it out... [07:38] Flannel, in all the labs we use tty2 [07:38] creed, have you hit alt f1 and see if there was something running on tty1? [07:39] robc4, startup info is on tty1 for me. [07:39] wsguede: If the CD verifies, then its a good CD. And burning isn't your issue [07:39] Does anyone here have gnome-hearts installed? Fresh off the repos, I run it and an assertion segfaults it. [07:39] yea, tty1 is normally what you use for a console [07:39] Old teletype machines couldn't operate as teh first console, so Linux honors the same restriction. [07:39] flannel: then what shall I do? [07:39] there are 6 stty sessions that load for a standard linux system [07:39] That is the answer that makes most sense to me. [07:39] I want to get linux up an running like his year [07:40] this* [07:40] wsguede: Just do a regular install, not via the liveCD [07:40] so when you load an X system (gnome, kde, etc etc) it uses tty7 [07:40] so the alternate cd? [07:40] wsguede: yeah. [07:41] You've tried installing in safe graphics mode? [07:41] robc4 / Flannel http://pastebin.ca/850538 This is the question...none of the answers make sense to me. [07:41] Flannel: I tried the alternate cd for 7.10 and it installs all the way then it freezes at "gathering install information" or sumthing like that [07:41] is anyone running a test kernel? [07:41] all of those are wrong minus the one about terminals [07:42] malnilion: yeah and it crashed [07:42] wsguede: *that* might be a burn issue. did you verify that disk? [07:42] yes [07:42] at least as far as my experiences have gone [07:42] Flannel: ok but hold on [07:42] you + your mom [07:42] robc4, lol so none of those is the correct answer? [07:42] 3 is [07:42] is anyone here knows how to run a visual foxpro program using wine? [07:42] 1 is wrong [07:42] 2 is wrong, it uses tty7 [07:43] 4 is def. wrong [07:43] Flannel: I hard booted it hoping that it would be ok... since it already made me take out the cd... the first time I had problems... then this last time it boots... but then after it "tries?" to boot into xubuntu, the screen goes blank [07:43] mmm, got all 3 monitors and both video cards working finally :) [07:43] charlz, there is a problem running .net applications on wine, go check out winehq for more info [07:43] sweet setup, no? http://img261.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1000636ey7.jpg [07:43] robc4, thats what I thought. [07:43] robc4 << ok thanx.. [07:44] wsguede: Screen going blank is probably a display issue. You should be able to get to a terminal via ctrl-alt-f1, try reconfiguring xorg, see if it takes [07:44] creed, is sounds like your IT guys are stuck 10 years ago [07:44] creed, and are too proud to now lose the now useless info [07:44] Flannel: ok so I booted it into "recovery mode" [07:45] Flannel: now I get a cmd line [07:45] robc4, yeah :-/ Stupid ass instructor...wont even let us use Fedora 8 even though its perfectly fine...making us use FC6. [07:45] wsguede: wait, recovery mode? This is booting off the harddrive? [07:45] yea [07:45] yeah [07:45] Flannel: I tried reinstalling it after it wouldn't show up [07:45] Is there any programs for *Nix that are comparable to Quicken or Ms Money, in that they will update online? [07:45] Flannel: but talking to you know I booted off the hdd === max490 is now known as max` [07:46] creed, I got that alot back at college when my CIS instructors would use obsolete software [07:47] wsguede: If you booted off the harddrive into the recovery console, you're already installed. [07:47] Flannel: I know [07:47] Flannel: BUT if I don't boot into recovery, the screen goes blank [07:48] what video card do you have [07:48] me? [07:49] robc4: POS mother board one [07:49] wsguede, what mobo is it [07:49] it might be a video problem(?) [07:49] I have no clue what a mobo is [07:49] motherboard [07:50] oh [07:50] haha [07:50] old one? [07:50] haha [07:50] wsguede: try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, and then after that, init 2 [07:50] Flannel: where? in the cmd of the recovery mode? [07:50] wsguede: yes [07:51] wsguede: Basically what's happening is your GUI isn't displaying properly (so its just black) [07:51] how can i get these codecs without buying? http://chris1.hopto.org/~chris/Screenshot-Codec%20Installer.png [07:51] hmm [07:51] is there support for amd's cool and quiet?

I´m using feisty server... [08:04] stdin: lol -_-" [08:04] msdfux, I did it on both dapper and edgy [08:05] msdtux, both server versions [08:05] I wonder, what am I doing wrong ? [08:05] msdtux, anyways, what are you doing using feisty server? one bad upgrade and woops :) [08:06] msdtux, the dependancies might not be complete yet [08:06] msdtux, I am also betting you dont have a database setup right [08:06] wait, sorry [08:06] Do I have to set the database first ? [08:06] hardy is 8.04 [08:06] feisty is 7.04 [08:06] woops [08:07] msd, yea, you do [08:07] well done :) after upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10 i have no boot stop anymore :D (before switching to newer i had 20 seconds boot stops at boot splash screen after nearly 30%) [08:07] msdtux, http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/moinmoin.html [08:08] rob, I have install feisty server, and install LAMP also... do I have to setup database ? === _Doonz is now known as Doonz [08:08] msdtux, you might [08:08] msdtux, I know media wiki will do that as part of the setup IIRC [08:08] do you have your heart set on media wiki? [08:09] robc4, sorry I don´t understand... [08:10] msdtux, sorry, I meant do you have your heart on using moin for a wiki? [08:12] sorry for my bad english... I don´t understant what you mean with ¨have your heart¨... [08:13] msdtux use a dictionary :) [08:13] msdtux: that means like... are you open to use something else [08:13] msdtux, I mean is there any reason why you want to use moin was your wiki software? Because installing mediawiki as your wiki software is much easier in my opinion [08:13] hi how can I put output from cmd uptime in a var in shell [08:13] can anyone help me figure out some graphical lag issues im having while running any game in ubuntu? gutsy....nvidia 7950 gt [08:13] Oh i see [08:13] msdtux, especially when you follow the instructions that are on the ubuntu server guide [08:13] for example x = uptime (but this doesn work) [08:13] ajitam: x = `uptime` [08:14] haha [08:14] msdtux, sorry, I forgot this is international === rat32 is now known as rabbit1337 [08:14] hey [08:15] mediawiki is easier, yes... but looks like moin is more simpler (not in installation)... [08:15] how do i make my windows mount writeable? [08:15] earlmred: this puts string 'uptime' in var [08:15] hey yall, can one of yall send me a repository list with a lot of extra sources added [08:15] hiya someone remind me the syntax for appneding text to an enviroment variable? is it : echo /usr/local/arm-elf/bin >> $PATH [08:15] ajitam: what shell are you using [08:15] i cant seem to get changes to windows files written in VIM [08:15] Well maybe I should install it from clean system... [08:15] hey. I have ubuntu installed right now and I'm going to create a partition and install windows on it. I know that windows will destroy my boot record and I'll have to rebuild it to boot ubuntu, I'm just wondering how to do that. [08:15] can I use Sound Recorder to record streaming audio? [08:16] ajitam: if i type x=`uptime` into a bash prompt, and then echo $x, i get the results of uptime. [08:16] zetheroo: try streamripper [08:16] ajitam: so if you're writing a bash script, that's what you'll get. [08:16] anyone have a repository list with a lot of added sources ? [08:16] zenobius: is that in the repos? [08:16] zetheroo: yup [08:16] zetheroo: might be universe so make sure you have those in [08:16] hello, im trying to copy a directory using "cp source destination" then it says cp: omitting directory. [08:17] zenobius: is it easy to use? [08:17] any idea what im doing wrong? [08:17] ouellettesr: cp -r for directories [08:17] -r = recursive [08:17] thanks [08:17] ahh [08:17] zetheroo: its a cli, i use it to ripp shoutcast into a folder of indivdual files, auto named by their id3 tags that get stream alongside music... [08:17] that works [08:17] robc, from the link you gave me, it is the same with forum I´ve referred... they doesn´t mention that we have to set any database first. [08:18] zetheroo, you can also use mplayer, google it [08:18] zetheroo: basically : streamripper htpp://radio.internode.on.net:8037 -r [08:18] zenobius: command line? [08:18] zenobius: oh [08:18] http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls?rn=1712&file=filename.pls [08:18] zetheroo: yep, mplayer wont name the files and wont split them fo you [08:18] philsomatika is so rediculously awesome [08:18] msdtux, yea, I was mistaken, thats part of the mediawiki setup [08:18] are you trying to rip streams? [08:19] i listen to it while i fly around in my spaceship [08:19] when im at the helm. [08:19] Ok, then... I´ll try it later again with clean install... [08:19] someone remind me the syntax for appneding text to an enviroment variable? is it : echo /usr/local/arm-elf/bin >> $PATH [08:19] thanks for helping me... [08:19] use apt-get thing to get a program called streamtuner [08:19] can anyone help me figure out some graphical lag issues im having while running any game in ubuntu? gutsy....nvidia 7950 gt [08:20] zenobius: do like, $a= $astring [08:20] streamtuner is good, but wont let you create restream server like you can with e '-r' param [08:20] zenobius: do like, $a= "$a"string [08:20] kirk: cheers mon [08:20] see what i mean [08:20] ? [08:20] zenobius, can streamripper rip all kinds of streams? [08:20] * kirk ticks one onto his unixhelper ticker. [08:20] like 40'000 to go and ill be an op [08:20] earlmred: hmm I type this i ubuntu and I get string uptime [08:20] can anyone help me figure out some graphical lag issues im having while running any game in ubuntu? gutsy....nvidia 7950 gt, My graphics driver's are installed and thats whats confusing me. [08:20] ajitam: what shell are you using. [08:21] the ones that come with ubuntu roky? [08:21] the "proprietary ones" [08:21] ok how do i reset the sound in ubuntu it doesnt have alsaconf [08:21] earlmred: I'm connected to ubuntu via ssh on my mac (you mean this ? sorry I'm new at this) [08:21] kirk, yeah, It installed under synaptic, everything works great with compiz and the works, but as soon as I get in game I lag like hell, and I never did before [08:22] sorry msdtux [08:22] ajitam: type bash [08:22] verb3k: noit sure, but i wouldnt bet it could rip realplayer streams. nothing but locked down virtuous virgins can touch those, and only if you been through big bro DNA check...(jokes) [08:22] zenobius: is there no simple gui styled app for this? [08:22] zetheroo: streamtuner [08:22] zenobius: ok [08:23] zenobius, I remember I ripped a realstream with mplayer in the past [08:24] verb3k: i could care about this much for real player and its variants ....nil [08:24] roky, You can disable compiz if you want [08:24] uptime reports "5 user" although I have been the only user on my computer. Who are the other 4? Gnome terminals, or what? [08:24] zenobius, :) [08:24] kirk, doesnt work [08:25] bullgard4, use the command "w" to know them [08:25] verb3k, its not compiz, I've never had this issue before, I ran all the games with no issues but now when i enter in game, I can hardly move around the menu's [08:25] $PATH=$PATH";/usr/local/arm-elf/bin" [08:26] roky, you can use a tty with a "top" command to see what's making the CPU 100% [08:26] roky, while you're in the game I mean [08:26] Ubuntu 7.10 64 Bit So, I installed LMMS 64 it from Synaptic, and after checking Synpatic again, it was installed normally......The issue, I can't FIND it. unlike everything else I installed, it didn't show up in my Main Menus, not in the Sound/Video section, not anywhere...any ideas? [08:26] verb3k: w shows 5 times a user named 'detlef' [08:26] <_moro_bana_> how do i join the python channel, it says i need to be identofied to join [08:26] What command can I use to make the terminal show me what ethernet card I'm using? [08:26] bullgard4, is that you? [08:26] earlmred: on my mac I et bash-3.2$ [08:26] verb3k: yes [08:27] bullgard4, I think it's about the terminals you open [08:27] ObeyRoy: ifconfig will show you settings, but you can use all availble cards at same time. not sure such a command exist except for examining output of something simple like htop and noticing which device traffic is leavin/coming on [08:27] bullgard4, the GUI is considered 1 and the terminal is 2 [08:27] bullgard4, one user will be your gnome, one will be the terminal you're running the commands in, do you have other terminals open as well [08:27] zenobius: I get this error when I try to listen to a stream: Failed to execute child process "xmms" (no such file or directory). [08:28] zetheroo: what command a re you running to recieve such an error? [08:28] good evening all,. ..... wow. What a lot of nicks!!! [08:28] zenobius: no command... I am using streamtuner [08:29] zenobius, he may be pasting the link without quotation "" [08:29] there is a page on the forums and wiki that helps you set up preferences to enable proper usage of desired mediaplayer from stream tuner [08:29] zenobius: do I need xmms [08:29] ? [08:29] verb3k, sorry was afk for a sec, but the cpu isnt topping [08:29] Ubuntu 7.10 64 Bit So, I installed LMMS 64 bit from Synaptic, and after checking Synpatic again, it was installed normally......The issue, I can't FIND it. unlike everything else I installed, it didn't show up in my Main Menus, not in the Sound/Video section, not anywhere...any ideas? [08:29] I just looked [08:29] anyone here know how to make a network samba share writable? i tried setting my fstab to umask=0000 and umask=0002 but still nothing [08:29] verb3k I just lag, and I cant seem to figure out why [08:29] zetheroo, use quotes around the link "" [08:29] zetheroo: you will need to setup the command that streamtuner uses for your paticular player so it passes the song path on properly. is why i ust use the terminal and point "listen media player " there [08:29] I'm trying to do remote X logins to a Gutsy machine, it only sometimes works. If I use Metacity, it's all fine, but if I try using compiz or xfce4, the remote login just crashes back to the remote chooser. [08:30] zenobius: I'm just trying to figure out my card model, I need to find a driver for it for windows. [08:30] dgjones: I have open 4 terminals. w shows 5 times the USER 'detlef'. w shows the TTYs 'tty10', pts/0, pts/1, pts/2, pts/3. [08:30] make the samba have write privileges [08:30] roky, I hope I can help [08:30] how do you restart the sound ? [08:30] AdemoS: can you start it from the terminal? [08:30] frankly I'm not sure what to investigate first. [08:30] for some reason it stopped working [08:30] bullgard4, that'd be right then, one user per terminal plus your gdm would make 5 [08:30] verb3k me too, because I have no clue as to why Im lagging [08:30] ObeyRoy: sudo lspci will list your devices, sudo ifconfig will list your netowrk card config, and dmesg will help you identify system events when they heppen [08:30] kirk, and how do i do that? [08:30] IndyGunFreak, I'm not sure how I would [08:30] roky, all games? [08:30] on the windows box, the share is writable to everyone [08:31] AdemoS: open a terminal and type "lmms" no quotes [08:31] ObeyRoy: help.ubuntu.com/community [08:31] ObeyRoy: start there [08:31] if it starts, then all yuo have to do is manually add it to th emenu [08:31] zenobius: well I installed xmms and its automatically opening the player to play... but nothing happens [08:31] IndyGunFreak, ah alright [08:31] verb3k yep any game I play [08:31] zetheroo: is the file turning up in the playlist of xmms? [08:32] zetheroo: have you check the preferneces of streamtuner? have you gone to ubuntu forums to investigate the proper usage of the parameters required to pass to xmms? [08:32] IndyGunFreak, well it gave me a couple input device issues, but it ran fine and presented me with a wizard [08:32] roky, strange [08:32] Viking667: yes... I can see it listed in the xmms player... but nothing plays [08:32] verb3k very, lol [08:32] AdemoS: ok.., so test it out, see if its going to work, and if it does what you want, just create an entry for it in your menu system. [08:33] zetheroo: hm. checked output plugins? [08:33] how do i do that kirk? [08:33] zenobius: it was setup with xmms when I installed it.... [08:33] When trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 on an Dell Dimension the Keyboard in grub is not found (USB, there is no PS2) When using the LiveCD the Video resolution cant be determined so what to do ? [08:33] roky, try googling your card + ubuntu [08:33] zenobius: Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8038 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (rev 14) Does that sound like the name of an ethernet card? [08:33] yuh [08:33] roky, + gutsy + compiz :) [08:33] does anybody know if I were to install Hardy Heron Alpha 3, would I be able to upgrade all releases from that or do I have to re-install with new image every time there is a new release? [08:33] verb3k, I have already I have never had issues like that before [08:33] Viking667: this is the link I am using: http://www.triplem.com.au/media/livestream/2mmmlivestream.asx [08:33] ObeyRoy: that's a network card all right. [08:34] ObeyRoy: thats a pretty new ethernet card, thats probably your issue.. the kernel probably doesn't have the driver for it. [08:34] kirk [08:34] wha [08:35] how do i make my samba share "writeable"? [08:35] zetheroo: well, mplayer certainly plays it. [08:35] I ask because I am unable to install Fiesty because of the kernel version [08:35] where is your samba share mounted at? [08:35] mplayer's using ffmpeg to play the stream with... if that's any help. [08:35] zetheroo: goto http://streamripper.sourceforge.net/tutorialplugin.php [08:35] IndyGunFreak: Linux has a driver for it, it's windows I need the driver for [08:35] the driver, which is adapted for Dell 3000cn for cups in Debian, is HP Color LaserJet 5500 Footmatic/pxlmono [08:35] /media/net_backup [08:36] ObeyRoy: oh..lol [08:36] zetheroo: winamp plugin [08:36] and it has a 777 chmod [08:36] Figures [08:36] Josiah: yes, alpha software updates seemlessly. Like day-to-day updates. Have you tried Gutsy thoug? [08:36] whats its devnode [08:36] zetheroo: try audacious instead of xmms, may find it bit more to your liking? [08:36] not sure, how do i find out [08:36] i mean [08:36] its in your computer [08:36] and your running a samba server from linux [08:36] zetheroo: also higly recomend you get over fear of terminal and use streamripper directly [08:36] and you want it writable [08:36] yeah, but my ubuntu is running from a vmware box [08:37] zetheroo: http://streamripper.sourceforge.net/tutorialconsole.php [08:37] so it doesn't see the disks locally [08:37] its "over the network" [08:37] yea [08:37] go into windows and make it writebale [08:37] like [08:37] Josiah: i've not messed ot much with Alpha releases, other than w/ Gutsy, but Gutsy, as long as you keep the updates current, then you're *current*, [08:37] zetheroo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonCustomizations [08:37] verb3k: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonCustomizations [08:37] ricght click on it, share, look at it, click the bos that says let network users write to [08:38] click apply [08:38] Flannel: I am worried that if I install Gusty when I update to Fiesty it is going to update to the kernel version that doesnt work with my hard drive [08:38] most peoples questions here : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonCustomizations [08:38] What package give widescreeen screen resolutions? (fogot the name) running it on my macbook [08:38] windows sucks my ball vinegar [08:38] kirk: agreed [08:38] xranr? [08:38] hm?

The computer icon appears and seems to come up with the dialog but the username and password doesn't work. It just refeshes. I think I may be getting the input format wrong. Can anyone help me? [08:39] if i could just make counerstrike source work in linux i'd never boot to windows again [08:39] Josiah & kirk robspiere found out that the mob is a powerful force unstoppable by guillotines [08:39] kirk: why cant you get source to work? [08:39] Where would I feel the most improvement if I replace my 512 MB RAM with 2 GB on an 1.8 GHz Intel Pentium M processor? (No 3D applications planned) [08:39] kirk it works hehe :) [08:39] never tried. [08:39] whats standard way to install it?

[08:40] oh sweet [08:40] wine = Wine Is Not an Emulator xD [08:40] directx? [08:40] kirk it translates directX commands to openGL :) [08:40] zenobius: its got nothing to do about a "fear" of the terminal..... [08:40] ok ill take it [08:40] but better you choose openGL at games [08:41] then it runs more natively [08:41] s [08:41] common, how do I get widescreen suport for 7.04? [08:41] some package in the standard repos, just forgot its name [08:41] zetheroo: http://streamripper.sourceforge.net/tutorialconsole.php [08:41] can anyone tell me about a simple backup program such as OSXs Timemachine but for ubuntu?

How do I add the correct svg file for the icon? [08:42] zetheroo: dont bother. most love brands and linux isnt a brand its a kernel. [08:42] thanks guys [08:42] AdemoS: do you know where the icon is on your computer? [08:42] zenobius: your right about that [08:43] Peddy: rsnapshot is not the simplest available in Ubuntu but very good. I use it every single day. [08:43] zenobius: thanks for your help [08:43] i have no menu entry for "desktop backgrounds" to change them at system ->settings :( [08:43] bullgard4- I mean backing up and restoring of single files easily [08:43] zetheroo: ie. most of my friends that use win and mac do so becuase they know nothing of computers but dont want to come here and admit it or go without that supermarket feel you get with those platforms [08:43] but thanks [08:43] sven_: appearance or just right click the desktop [08:43] * verb3k thanks zenobius for his help on the IRC [08:43] mavi-: aaah thank you hehe :) [08:44] Flannel: wow sorry if that confused you I had my Gustys and my Fiestys backwards. I cannot install Gusty because of the kernel version. If I use Fiesty it will just update it to Gusty and screw the pooch with my kernel again. [08:44] Peddy: No, for backing up single files, rsnapshot requires too much overhead. [08:44] IndyGunFreak, I'm not sure no. A search for "lmms" turned up nothing [08:44] mavi-: there's no appearance button but rightclick helped hehe :) [08:44] oh my god how cool is this wallpaper o.o earth [08:45] weird. [08:45] AdemoS: idont' know maybe it'd be easier to either download an icon, or use another one thats already in the system. [08:45] mavi-: i've lost my other wallpaper i had before changing from 7.04 to 7.10 :( [08:45] when I try to update my system I get an error like: "main/a/amarok/amarok-xine_1.4.8-0ubuntu1~gutsy1_i386.deb Size mismatch" [08:45] any idea what to do about that?

[08:46] can anyone tell me about a simple backup program with a GUI? :) [08:46] bullgard4 I need something simpler [08:46] peddy: open your main menu [08:46] peddy: and search in add/remove [08:46] backup [08:46] !backup [08:46] There are many ways to back your system up.

[08:47] dgjones: it does not seem to have a gui [08:47] IndyGunFreak, alright I just picked something random. Any idea why it might not have made it's own entry in the menu? [08:47] AdemoS: look in /usr/share/pixmaps, there's a lot of icons in that directory and its subdirectories. [08:47] Josiah: it depends on your ability to comprehend netowrking [08:47] Peddy: dgjones has given you very good links. They include also your simple needs. [08:47] Peddy, it does have a gui, thats what I use, give me a sec, I'll install it on this machine [08:47] AdemoS: no colue... it happens to me every once in a while... if it makes you feel better though, just to see if it did the same to me, i installed lmms, and it didn't go into my menu either. [08:47] Josiah, but we can certainly take a shot [08:47] Could I burn a CD during a live session? [08:48] AdemoS: for instance, for some reason, Frostwire never goes into my menu.., so i always have to add it manually... [08:48] ObeyRoy: maybe, if you have second drive [08:48] dgjones: ohh its a seperate package [08:48] sorry :/ [08:48] Peddy, if you search in synaptic for unison, there's unison-gtk :) [08:48] IndyGunFreak, haha that did actually make me feel better. You running 32 or 64 bit? [08:48] dgjones yeah thanks [08:48] AdemoS: 32bit [08:48] lol. well we will give it a shot :). Internet just stopped working... :( Works on other computer on router (the one im on now) but just stopped on the other. Have rebooted the system and tried different ports... must i reboot router? sounds like its not sending a new dhcp connection request to the router to me [08:48] Peddy, no probs [08:49] IndyGunFreak, ah okay, good to cover both bases [08:49] but i dont know how to force linux to do that [08:49] Peddy : there is also sbackup - Simple Backup Suite for desktop use [08:49] i hope this wine shit works with css [08:49] Josiah, so you're running over ethernet? [08:49] mmm it will be so on [08:49] Where would I feel the most improvement if I replaced my 512 MB RAM with 2 GB using an 1.8 GHz Intel Pentium M processor? (No 3D applications planned) [08:49] malnilion: correct [08:49] bullgard4: for me, when i put in 1gb everything ran faster [08:50] bullgard4: are you ever using all your ram for applications? [08:50] bullgard4: then yes [08:50] bottiger: Yes, often. [08:50] in windows i would just ipconfig /release all renew all [08:50] what do i do in linux? [08:50] whats the shortcut to switch between workspaces anyone [08:50] Josiah: not sure, i dont use dhcp by habit [08:50] Josiah: like to be incontrol [08:51] bullgard4: then I guess you would feel a difference. but remember, in linux you more or less always use all your rams because of caching [08:51] bullgard4: 1,8ghz is mostly fast enough hehe :) just get more ram than 512 512 is really small today hehe 1gb or more i prefer [08:51] zenobius: Can you tell me how much faster, sujectively? [08:51] zenobius: good point unfortunatly I do not have the password to get into the router and reconfigure... otherwise i wouldnt either [08:51] Josiah, you might try running dhclient [08:51] murch: i always use the scroll wheel, but if that doesn't work for you, check system/preferences/keyboard shortcutzs [08:51] ta [08:52] hi [08:52] Josiah, try running sudo dhclient and see if that gets you a renewed lease [08:52] why is LVM not the default install type? [08:52] bullgard4: well, metacity didnt stutter is rendering as i dragged windows, apps take 1-3secs to load rather than 20secs, (some gnomes apps still take ages to load)....i can do more thigns at once without sttutered slowdown [08:52] malnilion: said it did... but not connecting still :( [08:52] Josiah: to restart netowrking stack : sudo /etc/init.d/netoworking restart [08:53] Josiah, that's /etc/init.d/networking restart [08:53] zenobius: ah well that fixed it :) just unplugged the wireless router from the other router... must be a conflict in ip addresses [08:53] lol [08:53] :) [08:53] malnilion: nothing much will happen without sudo [08:53] zenobius, you misspelled networking :P [08:53] Josiah: tis why i dont use dhcp, [08:53] *except permissiond enied errors [08:53] But issue resolved regardless :P [08:54] zenobius: same here... but like I said no control over it at the moment [08:54] how can I access the signs/char templet? [08:54] running with mac keyboard [08:54] are directx and d3d the same thing? [08:54] found it [08:54] not [08:55] mnemonica: directx is the parent project that encompasses direct3d === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [08:55] bottiger: I know the word 'caching'. But when I use find and grep, these programs often need more than 10 minutes to finish. Also, if I have 17 applications open and I switch to another of my 4 desktops, then I begin to think if quadrupling my RAM size would do good. [08:55] zenobius: when they had their (wireless bleh) internet installed the installer put a pword on the router and I cant figure it out... dont want to reset the router because I dont know if there is any ip addresses or internal user/passes i might need [08:55] zenobius: then i would be without internet all night... cant have that [08:55] zenobius: So running a program, in wine, using d3d is not the same as running it in wine using directx? [08:55] bullgard4: I think so too [08:55] Josiah: also i would nt use wifi by habiot either . since its possible to hijack your session regardless of os [08:56] Josiah: so im no help their [08:56] mnemonica: i would say D3D is a part of directx O.o [08:56] Josiah: there* [08:56] mnemonica: DirectX <-- this X stays as replacer for "3D" "Sound" "Draw" and so on [08:56] zenobius: lol... come on zenobius you dont have anything running on wifi? thats no fun [08:56] Josiah: keep thinking if hte advert for 'tubes' in brazil [08:57] Hi...and i'd like to talk to you about....tubes [08:57] geeker [08:57] lol [08:57] moving right along [08:57] sven_: Ok... Cool. _kind of_ answers my question. Thanks. :) [08:57] mnemonica: D3D is a short for direct3D :) [08:57] hey guys i [08:57] hey guys i? [08:57] and Direct3D is a part of DirectX like DirectDraw and DirectSound or others [08:57] sorry i fat fingered and was retyping my question [08:58] how can i use the talk feature of Google Talk , am using Ubuntu 7.04 [08:58] hey guys i'm having issues installing VMware on my ubuntu gusty its giving me this error during installation [08:58] make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config0/vmnet-only' [08:58] Unable to build the vmnet module. [08:59] chump: check the ubuntu wiki? checked the howto forge? [08:59] IndyGunFreak, hmm the latest 64bit build from here says I'm missing libc6 was not satisifed. http://ftp.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/l/lmms/ But if I try to install libc6 from the latest deb from ubuntu's package website, the deb says I already HAVE libc6 installed... [08:59] chump: google vmware ubuntu install howto forge [08:59] thanks [08:59] AdemoS: thats wierd... what package is that in relation to? [08:59] does the 32 bit install for you? [08:59] chump: i used the guide about a year ago and it was solid for me [08:59] IndyGunFreak, what do you mean by relalation? [09:00] chump: gone from local memory though, sorry cant help more than that [09:00] AdemoS: you need libc6 for what program? [09:00] chump: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Flists.ubuntu.com%2Farchives%2Fubuntu-users%2F2005-September%2F047811.html&ei=3S-HR9_bHKDUpgTx0fzpDA&usg=AFQjCNGhUjoqc07sJN2qWlOjz4CiMk_p7Q&sig2=gckjU7lDOv0XQgBGkW3zbg [09:00] IndyGunFreak, sorry, I need it for lmms_0.3.1-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb [09:00] AdemoS: hmmm.. [09:00] or any other alternative for that [09:00] IndyGunFreak, does it give you the same error if you try to install that version? [09:01] zetheroo: excellent terminal app im using to keep a clean terminal on the desktop is tilda, operates just like the console in quake [09:01] AdemoS: try opening a terminal and sudo apt-get build-dep lmms see if it downloads/installs anything [09:01] IndyGunFreak, from that place [09:01] oops nm that chump [09:01] AdemoS: i installed from the Synaptic, and it works fine. [09:01] hmm, same here but I thought that deb might fix the menu issue [09:01] AdemoS: must be a 64bit issue, cuz it seems to work fine for me. [09:02] IndyGunFreak, the deb from there you mean? [09:02] AdemoS: are you trying latest version? is it good? does it play large songs nice without stutters? [09:02] AdemoS: no, installing frmo Synaptic. [09:02] IndyGunFreak, well the Synaptic install works fine. But I was trying to use the Deb from that location instead, to see if it would fix the Main Menu issue [09:02] AdemoS: i was big fan of jekolaBuzz and fruityloops when i was a windows user [09:02] how do I restart gnome network manager? === roger__ is now known as Regor [09:03] AdemoS: oh i see, ok.... [09:03] recently it's taken to soiling itself on resume and claiming there are no network interfaces [09:03] zenobius, well I prefered Reason to FL Studio, but Wired isn't as available in terms of debs [09:03] AdemoS: that seems kinda like removing the engine of a car to do an oil change. === malnilion_ is now known as malnilion [09:03] osfameron: comparison to reason in linux is using the jack server with any sound app you want [09:04] osfameron: woops mistell [09:04] heh [09:04] IndyGunFreak, in reference to what? [09:04] AdemoS: just install it from the package manager, and add it to the menu, rather than downloading the .deb, etc... [09:05] AdemoS: have you tried making a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications ? [09:05] zenobius, "are you trying latest version? is it good? does it play large songs nice without stutters?" <--- The version from Synaptic works great, it won't match my Gnome theme, and looks like a KDE app, but the functions are fine. The only issue is you have to make your own Main Menu item [09:05] AdemoS: ive only used lmms from repos in feisty [09:05] zenobius, I wouldn't know how to make a .desktop file [09:05] zenobius, all I've done is make a menu entry [09:06] AdemoS: large songs with many intruments and interesting piano rolls take ages to load and dont always play true [09:06] zenobius, so you're saying LMMS isn't that good? Well, is there anything better? Wired looked good, but I couldn't track down a deb for 64 bit [09:07] AdemoS: lmms is pretty darn close to fruityloops, darn well should be since its trying to clone it...but i remember nullsoft or AOL bought out frutiyloops so no love on the source release [09:07] IndyGunFreak, oh and I did install it from the pkg manager, and add it to the menu. That's how it is now, I was just trying to get a official soultion, for if I ever wanted to upgrade [09:07] AdemoS: anyhting 64bit is no love [09:07] * osfameron tries killing network manager [09:07] AdemoS: gotcha.. i see what you're saying now.... as for Wired, have youc onsidered downloading the source code?.. [09:07] AdemoS: but i wouldnt know since i dont have 64bit processor [09:08] IndyGunFreak, yes, but building from source always seems like trying to re-invent the wheel in terms of steps. I'm probably just being lazy though [09:08] osfameron: try in terminal : sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [09:08] ok, I've killed nm-appet, and tried to restart it [09:08] AdemoS: sometimes.. i think your'e issue is the 64bit though.. [09:08] but of course it doesn't come up again [09:08] IndyGunFreak, probably [09:08] zenobius: ah! ok... that probably won't bring up the applet again though will it? [09:09] osfameron: no, but you should check your system menu -> preferences -> session [09:09] IndyGunFreak, I used to have 32 bit, changed to 64 bit for the increased RAM (I have 8 GB of it) I mainly use this computer for Blender and Cinelerra [09:09] zenobius: it also doesn't bring up eth1 again [09:09] AdemoS: not that i encourage people to leave Ubuntu, but one of the few distros that is 64bit ready in my opinion, is Suse. [09:09] osfameron: is it in there? is it set to restart on crash? [09:09] zenobius: after running restart, ifconfig just shows me "lo" [09:09] IndyGunFreak, yeah I've heard good things about OpenSuse, a friend has it. I may try dual booting with it one day. For now though, Ubuntu seem good enough [09:09] zenobius: I don't have a "Session" under System - Preferences [09:10] IndyGunFreak, does OpenSose use Gnome by default? [09:10] osfameron: you should [09:10] AdemoS: nope it uses what you choose :P [09:10] AdemoS: i don't think so, i think suse(at least it used to), kinda used its own bastard GUI... i don't recall the libraries that it used... that was ages ago for me. [09:10] you can choose by install [09:10] zenobius: I'm on 6.10 still. Menu goes from "Search and Indexing" to "Sound" [09:11] IndyGunFreak, ah I see. [09:11] osfameron: edgey is on edge. feisty is rockn and ready to bounce ya [09:11] sven_, :P Well so does Ubuntu, but that doesn't really say anything besides "Options exist" [09:11] osfameron: anyhting to do with startup? [09:11] AdemoS: openSuSe uses KDE or Gnome or Xfce (depends on your install choosing) and has upgrades to style these environments in suse way :) [09:12] hi [09:12] zenobius: yeah, I'm waiting to get new laptop to install it on. I have very little disk space and my external HD is knackered, so haven't done a *full* backup in ages (YES, I SUCK) hence no upgrade yet [09:12] osfameron: im on feisty, much more stable...and it seems they mess ed around with the menus too [09:12] AdemoS: but by default (at install screen) KDE is marked [09:12] osfameron: no need to backup if you had put /home on a another partition [09:12] zenobius: yeah, I just installed xubuntu gutsy on my old desktop pc/server, looks lovely [09:12] sven_: i thought that was the case, but wasn't 100% sure [09:12] zenobius: how do I check? [09:13] sven_, ah I see. You seem like a OpenSuse missionary, sent to pull away users. :P [09:13] IndyGunFreak: no problem hehe :) [09:13] zenobius: but I'd like to back up /etc and so on too, as there's bound to be config files I'll mess up... [09:13] osfameron: xubuntu lacks porper desktop use of netowrks file sharing and intergration like gnome has [09:13] AdemoS: rofl hell no xD i dont hate any linux distro all have good and bad things on their own :> after all i just used alot of hehe [09:13] osfameron: check? waht version ubuntu or where your partitions are? [09:14] suse isn't to bad, but like i said, iv'e not used it in many years... i'm just in love w/ debian. [09:14] sven_, :P Well as a non-hater, would you agree that OpenSuse does 64 bit better? And if so how? Just greater number of 64 bit packages? [09:14] zenobius: it's a really old machine... from 2000, low memory. The ubuntu install CD crapped itself. Actually even the xubuntu GUI install CD would have failed :-) [09:14] zenobius: the partitions [09:14] AdemoS: but for me suse is a bit to slow at install of software (yast rpm system with caching of repos every time so slooow) :) [09:14] osfameron: sudo fdisk -l [09:14] osfameron: or sudo cat /etc/fstab [09:14] osfameron: or for Mounted File Sytem Table : sudo cat /etc/mtab [09:15] sven_, OOOH yeah, the friend who has it told me Suse creates everything from source so it takes a while to install new things.......I hate waiting but does that mean you can just throw source files at it and watch them install? :D [09:15] * AdemoS uses wishful thinking [09:15] xD [09:15] is this #suse or #ubuntu ? [09:15] AdemoS: no it doesnt do anything better it works simultaneous 32 + 64bit at once same time thats the funny thing hehe :) but 64bit kernel (with 32bit cappability) for more ram support [09:15] zenobius: oh, even df -h (incidentally) [09:15] zenobius: but no, this install doesn't have /home on a separate party [09:15] osfameron: yep that DiskFree [09:15] bazhang: its #ubususe [09:15] anybody tried gos? [09:16] IndyGunFreak: haha [09:16] sven_, well that's what got me. Supposedly (never used it) but Windows 64 bit can run 32 bit things without issue. So the fact that Ubuntu won't (without a massive amount of tweaking/installing) was kind of a let-down. [09:16] osfameron: consider it next time [09:16] zenobius: yeah, I did on that xubuntu install. Will make a note for lappy too [09:16] AdemoS: nope suse doesnt create everything from source suse has its own package format named .rpm and these cabs have all pre-configured mostly hehe [09:16] AdemoS: thats the one thing thats kept me from running 64bit.., its just not wortht he hassle to me, so i'll stay w/ 32bit for the forseeable future [09:16] Josiah: yeah but offtopic here; e17 on top of Ubuntu 7.10; not easy to get going as far as codecs [09:16] sven_: suse uses rpm? [09:17] zenobius: it used to, don't knwo if it still does [09:17] bazhang: Josiah: just tried it a couple days ago, the e17-cvs...and i dont recommend it [09:17] bazhang: Josiah: it borked my apt-get [09:17] AdemoS: yes thats cause ubuntu is based on debian and debian can only 32 or 64bit at same time as one said to me from the debian team some time back suse can both things but is slower then a bit [09:17] !suse [09:17] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [09:18] very much am disliking the rpm hell. [09:18] sven_, hah slow and steady huh? [09:18] sven_, this article explains why I went with 64 bit http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,111508-page,1/article.html [09:18] AdemoS: i dont know what fits to you just try all things and find your best [09:18] Mainly that you can use more RAM and run things faster. Things like 3D modeling and video editing [09:18] zenobius: lol ok... i hear there is a way to get e17 with the gos theme and everything through ubuntu without installing gos itself [09:19] AdemoS: also i think Suse have benifit of a deal with microsoft, since novell is in their pocket...am i wrong i might be [09:19] Josiah: a live cd is available for that [09:19] AdemoS: 64bit is better yes but not standard everywhere today just wait some time soon ubuntu will be 64bit only too when 64bit comes standard :) [09:19] ah yes, Suse's deal w/ the Devil [09:19] wine kicks ass [09:19] there was a big backlash when that happened, on LQ.org [09:19] so yeah if suse have megacorp backing then its no wonder they have a pot of gold from scrouges vault [09:19] kirk: when it works [09:20] zenobius: i think you can do it by just adding the repositorie and telling it to get one thing... let me see if i can find that howto [09:20] sven_, haha that'll be the day. And I'll come back to #ubuntu to giggle at you :P [09:20] zenobius: the most money novell makes through payed support [09:20] paid? omg i dont know [09:20] milkdrop2 works [09:20] Josiah: not interested. e17 is only a pretty desktop, not funcational...the file manager isnt even better than my the rockbox file navigator on my ipod [09:20] sven_: the good thign though, is Debian will probably always have a 32bit release...lol [09:21] http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2007/12/steps-to-install-gos-on-ubuntu-gutsy.html [09:21] AdemoS: why so? i do like 32bit still fine enough for me and my newest notebook supports it and all codecs too so i will stay some time with 32bit [09:21] sven_ : ahh i was wrong [09:21] zenobius: lol ok :) I just liked that ibar it comes with [09:21] if i want to tar all in /home/* how to do that ? [09:21] sven_, oh, I didn't have a good point, I just wanted to giggle for the sake of giggling xD [09:21] IndyGunFreak: yeah but thats for hardware support but soon 64bit will turn the standard and most will have 64bit then hehe :) [09:21] zenobius: and the theme... i think they did a very nice job with the theme [09:21] Josiah: it crashes to much to be useful too [09:21] can someone give me the format of a bind mount entry in fstab? [09:22] sven_: very true... :) [09:22] AdemoS: lol @ randomness xD [09:22] sven_, I think that's a good sign that I should get some sleep 4:22 AM here [09:22] goodnight guys [09:22] nios: tar cfp backupname.tar /home [09:22] Josiah: but i would like it as my main, since it is quite fast at rendering windows [09:22] zenobius: sucks for all those people that are buying the wal-mart $200 machines :) [09:22] AdemoS: it's 10:22am here :P [09:23] zenobius: e17 is? [09:23] Josiah: they making same desicion there as when they choose to buy chemmically pumped prepeared food packages rather than cook their own food from scratch with herbs [09:23] Josiah: yep [09:24] i prefer .deb when i have to decide between .deb and .rpm :) just for speed [09:24] someone of you have a guide to install kde 4 for ubuntu? [09:24] zenobius: mmm sounds yummy [09:24] is kde 4 out? [09:24] released? [09:24] so iBar sucks huh [09:24] yup, only cvs though i think [09:24] y think so [09:24] k [09:25] Josiah: its a nueterd version of avant-windows-manager, cept i dont require a compositing manager [09:25] Josiah: or kiba-dock [09:25] which is best? or is it best not to use one? [09:25] Beelze: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [09:25] Josiah: its not bad though, just not usable and i cant replace gnome-panel with any of those reliably yet [09:26] zenobius: apple friend? :) [09:26] earlmred: kde4 not kde3 [09:26] just love avant-window-navigator [09:26] earlmred, but i get kde3 then [09:26] zenobius: isn't it kde4 on gutsy? [09:26] earlmred: no. sven_: no. [09:26] zenobius: i see kde4 packages in apt-cache [09:26] gos [09:26] earlmred: empty they be [09:26] oops :) [09:26] wrong keyboard mt sorry [09:27] Josiah: yeah that has a livecd you can get and use [09:27] Beelze: http://www.kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc2.php [09:27] id wrather not :) [09:28] thx earlmred i´ve used that link some days before [09:28] hi people [09:28] earlmred: sudo apt-cache show kde4base...oops eat my own words they have bytes size now [09:28] fast question [09:28] zenobius: yeah, i thought i saw it [09:28] i think apt-get install kde4base is all you need to do [09:28] earlmred: when i check last week they had no bytesize [09:28] Hey people, I'm having trouble with ALSA on ubuntu 7.10. Every time I plug headphones into the sound card on my laptop, i get sound through the headphones AND the laptop speakers. It does not switch, and I cant seem to find a way to switch manually [09:28] earlmred: be our guinea pig? [09:28] do you know if it is possible to have the input line of a terminal in a different color than the output of the commands [09:29] alright... k9copy issues... it gets about halfway through reading the dvd and then closes completely.... anybody? [09:29] Taffy_nay: volume control -> switches -> headphone jack sence [09:29] Josiah: i use acidrip, on feisty, and i have the codecs from medibuntu repos [09:30] Josiah: i just made a ackup of shameless season 1 no problems [09:30] hi, anybody out there with a working bluetooth headset? I'm trying to configure mine without success [09:30] "mycomputer:/home/some/path$ ls" in bright white for example and the output of ls in a dimmer color [09:30] loodjuret: I have that option ticked alread, but it is making no difference [09:30] (don't know if my question is clear [09:30] zenobius: is this damned deadwood season 3... giving me problems with dvdfab as well [09:30] hey folks quick question [09:31] is it worth trying to set up my XF-i card [09:31] Taffy_nay: check the connection. should work [09:31] Josiah: dvdfab? a prog? not used it.. your using kde as a desktop? [09:31] murch: waht is "XF-i card" [09:31] sorry dvdfab is on my windows machine... best backup program ever... wish i could use it in ubuntu [09:31] Josiah: is it dual layer? [09:31] zenobius: the dvd? [09:32] tloodjuret: the connection is fine, as I said, i get sound through both output points [09:32] Josiah: i used dvddecryptor on windows [09:32] creative sound card [09:32] sound card? [09:32] my capture is not working [09:32] sound capture [09:32] Josiah: yep is it dual layer or something exotic like that? [09:32] zenobius: i use dvddecryptor as well... still do in ubuntu but dvdfab is way better imo [09:32] bah [09:32] zenobius: nope not dual layer [09:32] stupid "desktop effects could not be enabled" [09:32] just a pain [09:32] i think desktop effects hates xinerama [09:33] my sound capture is not working , what to do [09:33] Taffy_nay: strange. works for me. using ubuntu? [09:33] ammet: try looking on : wiki.ubuntu.com and help.ubuntu.com/community first [09:33] Is Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T2310 @ 1.46GHz a 64 bit processor ? anyone [09:33] ammet: gutsy or feisty? [09:34] tarelerul2: 1.5ghz? i doubt it, but it might be... [09:35] tarelerul2: if you're not sure, just use 32bit ubuntu, unless you have some reason to need 64bit. [09:35] Joshia: have you got libdvdcss2 from medibuntu repos installed? [09:35] loodjuret: I have had four iterations of ubuntu on my laptop, all of which I have managed to find a way to, at least, manually switch. This just has me totally confuzzled [09:35] zenobius: yesir [09:35] and 3 [09:36] Josiah: okies [09:36] is 64 bit ubuntu as stable as 32 bit?? [09:36] Josiah: i suspect gutsy was released far too early for consumption [09:37] how does one know which one they have? [09:37] Johnny_5: i imagine they're both stable, but 32bit is far less hassle [09:37] k [09:37] zenobius: I agree... I did not have any issues with it on my machine until I updated the bios... and according to the forums the issue I am having is with the kernel version and the hard drive I have [09:37] Johnny_5: in a terminal uname -a whats the output?.. that will tell you what verison your'e using. [09:38] k [09:38] thanx [09:38] zenobius: I dont know... just figured I would get hardy and try it from there [09:38] zenobius: supposadly thats the fix :( [09:38] IndyGunFreak , what do you mean hassle ? [09:38] feisty [09:38] kirk: to update enviroment variables i needed to use the export command as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables [09:39] tarelerul2: web plugins, some programs don't have 64bit versions, etc.. i'm sure for some, its great, to me, it was just a headache.. [09:39] zenobius: you use ubuntu tweak / compiz fusion? [09:39] Taffy_nay: nothing related on ubuntuforums.org ? should be a way to check whether the jack sensor is detecting the cord or not. [09:39] ameet: you can use terminal? [09:39] Is it possible to upgrade to ubuntu 7.1 from ubuntu 6.0 without losing any data ? [09:39] hey all, I'm running a generic kernel. Is it better to run a kernel for my cpu? noob question i know... [09:39] Josiah: i have it running on dual screen with fraembuffer. on a raedon 9660 [09:39] or does it matter? [09:39] I can [09:39] IndyGunFreak: I think java and flash player where not 64 bit [09:40] tarelerul2: yeah. [09:40] ameet: run sudo lspci and pastebin the output for me [09:40] both of them? does ubuntu tweak recognize your compiz fusion? its not recognizing mine [09:40] ok [09:40] ammet: ps nice plugin for pastebin for gnome in repos called weboard [09:41] here u go [09:41] Josiah: ubuntu tweak? not using that . i installed compiz using amaranths repos [09:41] 00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 Host Bridge (rev 10) [09:41] 00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 PCI Bridge [09:41] 00:05.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 5a37 [09:41] 00:06.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 PCI Bridge [09:41] 00:12.0 SATA controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 Non-Raid-5 SATA [09:41] 00:13.0 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 USB (OHCI0) [09:41] 00:13.1 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 USB (OHCI1) [09:41] 00:13.2 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 USB (OHCI2) [09:41] 00:13.3 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 USB (OHCI3) [09:41] ammet: i said pastebin.

[09:43] Josiah: is it like tweakUI for windows? [09:43] zenobius: yeah [09:44] Josiah: ahh frontend to options available in gconf [09:44] Josiah: as twekUI is a frontedn to options avail in the much harder to manipualte registry [09:44] zenobius: yeah but it also works with 3rd party apps.... like metacity, compiz fusion, nautilus [09:44] hai [09:45] I think I found my cpu ,but it says 64bit + and - what does that mean one one [09:45] Is it possible to upgrade to ubuntu 7.1 from ubuntu 6.0 without losing any data ? [09:45] u may use ubuntu for 64 cpu [09:45] Josiah: third party doesnt sound right here [09:45] like AMD 64 [09:45] Josiah: hehe it would in a lockdown world of "dont cross the red line" [09:46] * zenobius neckbrace explodes [09:46] zenobius: ok... dont know how else to put it. [09:46] do kernel builds matter anymore? maybe that's the question... [09:46] Josiah: i get it [09:46] zenobius: well... we will see what they do :) [09:46] sss: yes but you have to upgrade to every version along the way. 6.06 then 7.04 then 7.10. so you need to do 3 upgrades [09:46] yes [09:46] ubuntu_newbie: but i hear its a pain to use the 64 bit version of the os [09:46] no one help me? [09:46] I am ready to! where are the instructions? [09:47] Josiah: it a good idea, is it in one gui now? before it was spread out over a few [09:47] why [09:47] ubuntu_newbie: what do u need help with? [09:47] zenobius: yeah. they are is v.02 :) [09:47] tarelerul2: where did you see that + - thing [09:47] !upgrade [09:47] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [09:47] ubuntu_newbie: you didnt actually ask a question....you gave an answer "u may use ubuntu for 64 cpu" [09:47] zenobius: sorry .2 [09:48] !kernel [09:48] erawfish: thanks [09:48] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages [09:48] !k7 kernel [09:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about k7 kernel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:48] erawfish This is what ubuntu tell me my cpu is Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T2310 @ 1.46GHz and here is the page http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/chart/pentium_dual-core.htm [09:48] omg swiftfox site is down [09:49] tarelerul2: check your /proc/cpuinfo [09:49] not now [09:49] back up [09:49] tarelerul2: so whats the question? [09:49] ubuntu_newbie: r u from Japan? [09:49] zenobius: i get on just fine [09:50] i'm new user ubuntu. i was installed 7.10, but i'm need more software. i have some software who need to install. there i found i must configure then type make, and make install. but why i cant?? [09:50] yeah it was for a few seconds...must be running a server with not much threads [09:50] IndyGunFreak: What dose the + - on 64 bit mean on that page [09:50] tarelerul2: ask intel [09:50] anybody ever hear of synaptic just freezing when hitting apply or okay in the prefs dialog (without having changed anything in the dialog)? [09:50] tarelerul2: i don't think thats a - sign, i think thats a line under the + sign. [09:50] ok put it this way what do you all think ? [09:51] tarelerul2: we think you are offtopic [09:51] lol [09:51] ubuntu_newbie: what software r u refering to? [09:51] ubuntu_newbie, its very rare that you'll need to manually install software with ubuntu, most app's you need are already in Synaptic package manager, you should be able to search for the app and if its there, you just tick the box and it will install it for you [09:51] tarelerul2: i alwasy thought that symbol meant "tolerance within this range" [09:51] no i'm from indonesia [09:51] I am think about geting 64 Ubuntu and I was just wondering if I have 64 bit cpu . That is all [09:52] ah... [09:52] tarelerul2: wellt aht chart you posted seems to be quite clear [09:52] ubuntu_newbie; al-ka-mana? is that right? [09:52] tarelerul2: and I told you where to look [09:52] ubuntu_newbie: did very little indonesian in primary school [09:52] tarelerul2: if you have questions about intel websites: ask intel. not us [09:52] where would one find the HAL log at? [09:52] @zenobius : what do i do ? [09:52] ubuntu_newbie: but yes you can run ubuntu on 64bit, but be prepared for effort [09:52] ubuntu_newbie: you still haven't said what software [09:53] erawfish: well, i tsounds like he's trying to compile something...lol [09:53] ameet: have you pasted your output of lspci into a pastebin server, if so give me the url [09:53] IndyGunFreak: it sounds he has no clue how to ask in an answerable way [09:53] ubuntu_newbie: enable a universe and multiverse repositories and see if your software is listed. [09:53] lol [09:53] :) [09:53] compwiz18: not in /var/logs ? [09:53] IndyGunFreak, I get the feeling they don't know about synaptic [09:53] zenobius, you mean "tolerance within this range" like it could go either 64 bit or not . both os I am running are 32 bit [09:54] Hello. I want to open a .docx file. It seems to be MS's new "open" document format. I know it's evil and I rather should delete this from my ubuntu pc and my brain immediately ... but how _could_ I open it? Just in theory, purely academic ;-) [09:54] dgjones: lol, ya think? [09:54] zenobius, if it is, it isn't called hal.log [09:54] tarelerul2: yeah. [09:54] !ot | tarelerul2 [09:54] tarelerul2: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [09:54] IndyGunFreak, just slightly [09:54] <_moro_bana_> DOES THIS REMOVE WINE FROM MY SYSTEM: sudo apt-get remove wine [09:54] :) [09:54] tarelerul2: please take your hardware questions to ##hardware [09:54] _moro_bana_: yes... [09:54] vlt: use docs.google.com and convert it in there [09:54] _moro_bana_, assuming you installed it via apt or synaptic or similar [09:54] compwiz18: since gutsy or feisty are having many different variations in its conf files etc, which one are you using... [09:54] <_moro_bana_> IndyGunFreak: COMPLETLY ? [09:54] when i get the software in .deb, i can install it. but in my country i have some magazine about linux, there has many software, but in package, and i must compile by my own. but, ican't [09:54] zenobius, gutsy [09:55] _moro_bana_: how did you install it? [09:55] ubuntu_newbie, what software are you trying to install? [09:55] like songbird [09:55] _moro_bana_, sudo apt-get --purge remove wine removes completely, I think [09:55] <_moro_bana_> IndyGunFreak: manually that was before i managet to connect to internet [09:55] ubuntu_newbie: ahhh you will need build-essential, and you may even need to grab special one for 64bit [09:55] _moro_bana_: so you installed it from source? [09:56] ubuntu_newbie: then said CD is useless. fix your sources.list [09:56] ubuntu_newbie: well one thing u can do is go to add/remove and in the box that says show: you can click in the box and tell it to show all available applications and you can go to software sources and make sure multivers and universe and so forth are selected... [09:56] <_moro_bana_> IndyGunFreak: i downloaded the pack from packages.ubuntu yse [09:56] ubuntu_newbie: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-songbird-music-player-in-ubuntu.html#more-105 [09:56] ubuntu_newbie: but more reliable source of ingformation is on wiki.ubuntu.com and help.ubuntu.com [09:56] ubuntu_newbie: and you still haven't told us WHAT software! [09:56] _moro_bana_: that doesn't mean you installed from source.. did you download a .deb file, or a tar.gz file [09:56] erawfish: the software he wants! [09:56] <_moro_bana_> IndyGunFreak: deb file [09:56] erawfish: yeah he did. songbird [09:56] ubuntu_newbie & erawfish: basically anything 64bit i assume [09:56] zenobius, the wiki tells us what is up with that : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingRemovableDevices [09:57] _moro_bana_: ok, then sudo apt-get remove wine should work, if you want to purge it... [09:57] zenobius, it would appear there is no log file... [09:57] zenobius , thanks for the infro. I don't think everyone in here should know everything I ask . Just wondering if any of you had an idea . That is all [09:57] ubuntu_newbie: if you goto that link i posted it will walk you through it step by step [09:57] compwiz18: your trying to mount ipod auto style? [09:57] _moro_bana_: i can't remember how to purge a program, i'm sure someone here knows [09:57] ubuntu_newbie: in english... maybe google will translate it for you [09:57] ubuntu_newbie: if needed [09:57] I've got a synaptic problem [09:57] tarelerul2: public forums is the store of non-institutionalised knowledge [09:57] <_moro_bana_> IndyGunFreak: apt-get --purge remove, pasted already [09:58] http://pastebin.com/d366a1013 [09:58] zenobius, nope, trying to mount my usb key, sudo mount works fine, hal doesn't. works fine on all the XP comps I've tried too [09:58] hi all [09:58] _moro_bana_: ok.. so there you go. [09:58] https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/ lists several languages, for example es - Spanish. What does 'C' stand for? [09:58] when I go into the preferences page and hit ok, the whole program freezes [09:58] compwiz18: when you plug it in, what does dmesg say? [09:58] compwiz18: it would work fine on xp since they have all the funding and tech docs [09:58] its exciting to be here :-D [09:58] bullgard4: "default" [09:58] compwiz18: but i would stronlgy suggest you use feisty instead [09:59] cwillu:try apt-get instead [09:59] this is my first time using linux [09:59] goldsniper, I'd rather be fishing :p [09:59] exciting [09:59] erawfish, dmesg says all the normal things (as far as I can tell) and the device registers, would youl ike me to pastebin the output? [09:59] zenobius, why should I use Feisty? [09:59] erawfish: I cannot detect any letter 'C' in the word 'default'. Please explain. [09:59] compwiz18: far more stable and reliable [09:59] bullgard4: learn how UNICODE works [09:59] zenobius, gutsy seems fine to me... [09:59] erawfish, that strikes me as an 'ignoring the problem' type solution :p [09:59] eris: and i18n in general [09:59] cwillu : i know windows but never thought ubuntu is quite easy [10:00] erawfish: Is that all that you can contribute in answering my question? [10:00] cwillu: it isn't. no error, no logs: no help from us [10:00] erawfish, of course, now it works fine. [10:00] compwiz18: im using it becuase xrandr decides my card cant do dual screen nor 3d, but look at me now, in fiesty i have compiz running over two screens as one large desktop, video playing on both...down with xrandr [10:00] cwillu: cause we are not psychic [10:00] anyway got myself a broadband today [10:00] bullgard4: ask a ubuntu related support question next time. and no, this isn't one [10:00] and i am wondering to to nstall program in ubuntu? the is no installer? [10:00] zenobius, my computer can't power compiz on the monitor i'm using (bad gfx card) and compiz is slow with ati drivers anyway [10:01] interesting, apt-get lets me remove cups-common, but aptitude complains and tries to take actions to resolve deps [10:01] goldsniper: there is. https://help.ubuntu.com/ you should read that [10:01] according to the dry-run of each [10:01] erawfish: Haha. You may have noticed that the website contains an 'ubuntu' identifier. [10:01] compwiz18: upto you, your actually using a version hat hasnt been fully tested. [10:01] oo..okay.. im off to read [10:01] !synaptic | goldsniper [10:01] goldsniper: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [10:01] thank you all [10:01] I have fairly odd question really I just tried Ubuntu for the first time and when installing Java 1.6 update 3 I can no longer get Runescape to work. It says I have the wrong version Going to the Sun Java Test site it says the installation is fine. Ther eare only two possible explanations I can see. 1 Runscape doesn't work with the latest JRE or 2 It doesn't work with Linux JRE implementation. I only just noticed i actually still have 1. [10:01] bullgard4: about 50% programs in ubuntu are written in C. doesn't mean we support C here. same thing [10:01] zenobius, ok [10:01] <_moro_bana_> IndyGunFreak : i did that to wine and automatix, they just stay on my menu [10:01] compwiz18: waht card? im using raedon 9600. [10:02] zenobius, ati 200m, it's a laptop, [10:02] what is the swap memory for? [10:02] erawfish: Your answer is not helpful. [10:02] zetheroo: same as windows virtual memory [10:02] bullgard4: your question is OT [10:02] zetheroo: but better [10:02] <_moro_bana_> IndyGunFreak: on the terminal it shows that they are not installed [10:02] zenobius, and the latest drivers don't support 1680x1050, which is the size of my monitor, so... I'm stuck with mesa because something got screwed up [10:02] u got it ?? [10:02] zetheroo just like windows virtual memory but more secure [10:03] compwiz18: im happy with 1024x768 [10:03] sleshy: please don't lie [10:03] I have a screenlet which shows the RAM and Swap Memory ... and the swap only has 1% used.... and my Ram is sitting at 47% [10:03] i want have a friend who now and expert in ubuntu, Arie Indonesia my phone number +627518230885 [10:03] bullgard4: you want to know what the C locale is? [10:03] is that good? [10:03] erawfish, no output in terminal when run, nothing showing up in the logs; the closest I've been able to find is something related to what the python c module apt_pkg accesses, because apt_pkg.update hangs in the same way [10:04] cwillu: which is why I said to use apt-get. your choice if you want to ignore me. since you do, so do I know. HAND [10:04] ameet: your soundcard is a creative soundblaster you said? [10:04] mosno: yes, please. [10:04] sleshy: I have a screenlet which shows the RAM and Swap Memory ... and the swap only has 1% used.... and my Ram is sitting at 47% [10:04] zetheroo, ideally, you would have enough ram that no swap is used [10:04] There have always been security issues with the way windows implements disk memory as all users can always access all of it. That's what I read erawfish is that wrong [10:04] !repeat | zetheroo [10:04] zetheroo: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [10:04] !id | ubuntu_newbie, Maybe this other channel will be able to help [10:04] ubuntu_newbie, Maybe this other channel will be able to help: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [10:04] sleshy: wrong [10:04] * ubuntu_newbie new in UBUNTU, need more help [10:04] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-songbird-music-player-in-ubuntu.html#more-105 [10:05] compwiz18: : I have 2 GB of RAM..... why is my swap being used? [10:05] I din [10:05] I have a DELL Inspiron 1501 [10:05] in built card [10:05] bullgard4: man 7 locale [10:05] mt [10:05] !enter | ameet [10:05] why do you say that erawfish the reason I read - that it's not fixed by default - or it's dynamic as MS says - made sense to me? [10:05] ameet: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:05] thx josiah, i found it [10:05] bullgard4: C is the "default" locale [10:05] huh [10:05] how was bullgard4's question offtopic? [10:06] ubuntu_newbie: no problemo [10:06] i try to read and open the synaptic [10:06] i dont understand [10:06] how can i install firefox? please help [10:06] Hey. I finally got around to upgrading my PC, so I took the opportunity to finally install gutsy on my desktop. I'm impressed with the ease of installation. Anyway, Compiz is clearly installed, but where can I configure it? [10:06] dgjones: only few peoples in that channel [10:06] goldsniper: see that search field up top? type firefox in it [10:06] goldsniper, firefox should already be installed; click applications | internet |firefox [10:06] open synaptic, look for firefox there. install it [10:07] zetheroo, probably becasue the swappiness in your computer is set to swap stuff out: see http://gentoo-wiki.com/FAQ_Linux_Memory_Management [10:07] !ccsm | AzMoo [10:07] AzMoo: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [10:07] goldsniper isn't it there by default? [10:07] goldsniper, if not, go to applications | add/remove, type in firefox, and go from there [10:07] zetheroo, sorry, the swappiness value in the kernel, not the computer :D [10:07] erawfish, i already got firefox version 2.0.6 installed [10:07] erawfish: Winner! Thanks. [10:07] ubuntu_newbie, it was worth a try, they at least are likely to be local to where you live [10:07] goldsniper: then run it [10:07] ameet: looking at this page for reference and clues for further leads : http://www.linlap.com/wiki/Dell+Inspiron+1501 [10:07] i just download a new firefox version 2.0.11 [10:07] the compiz memory leak makes compiz totally unusable [10:07] AzMoo: goto system > preferences > and its called advanced desktop effects settings [10:08] !wireless | ameet [10:08] ameet: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [10:08] how to run, erawfish [10:08] goldsniper, you probably don't want to download it from firefox.com; ubuntu contains repositories which handle updates automatically [10:08] erawfish what did you mean about the windows swap file - I still didnt get your reason? [10:08] i hate synaptic...i used it once for picasa2 on my laptop and now picasa2 doesn't work right...no on for now i use the regular add/remove applications for my downloading needs and if that doesn't work i apt-get install whatever i need... [10:08] ameet: you have two choices for a driver, ndiswrapper or bcm43xx with the fw-cutter. both have tons of howtos [10:08] Josiah: cheers. [10:08] ooo? [10:08] goldsniper, if you just recently installed ubuntu from a cd, there should be a bunch of updates that can be applied; firefox 2.0.0.11 is among them iirc [10:08] compwiz18:: is that how it should be? [10:08] AzMoo: downum :) [10:09] zetheroo, it's probably fine as it is, yes [10:09] sleshy: it's OT, but: on windows, just like on linux, only root cann access said file. on winodws not even a root using program since windows locks files that are in use [10:09] i just installed ubuntu 7.10 [10:09] ameet: bad news looks like you going to have to compile drivers [10:09] I want to install something, but when I try to install it it says that it cannot get the exclusive lock, and I am sure I have nothing else running in background, so I restarted the X server (logged off, then logged back on) and the same happened?!! [10:09] ameet: http://linuxondesktop.blogspot.com/2007/12/getting-sound-to-work-on-your-ubuntu.html [10:09] zenobius: no [10:09] goldsniper, okay; do you see a little yellow star'ish thing in the top right corner near the clock? [10:09] wow that would be fun [10:09] erawfish are you talking about Vista cos i'm sure that isn't true on XP? [10:09] hmm... so, .......:-( [10:10] sleshy: any NT based OS [10:10] yellow [10:10] help please [10:10] Anyway I'll drop it but I have read that in several places [10:10] erawfish: deferring [10:10] goldsniper, okay, click on that, tell it to install all updates [10:10] * zenobius sits to one side [10:10] white_eagle, did you terminate a working package manager at some point? [10:10] goldsniper, it'll grind for a while (downloading a bunch of stuff, and then installing it); once it's done, close firefox and reopen it, and you'll be running the latest version [10:10] cwillu, i dont have it? [10:10] is there such a thing in Linux as having to maintain your RAM?... like in Windows? [10:10] compwiz18, yes [10:10] sleshy: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51541/ [10:10] how do I check via command line what ubuntu version I have ? [10:11] !version | avi_me [10:11] avi_me: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [10:11] goldsniper, do you have any icons up there? [10:11] white_eagle, there's your problem. you need to remove the lock file, hang on, I'll get ya a link [10:11] zenobius: while broadcom setup is not trivial, ther is no compiling involved [10:11] whahttp://getfirefox.com/releases/ yellow starish thing? === gnari_gone is now known as gnari [10:11] erawfish: ameet needs sound too. [10:11] i'm just curious...r there any other skins for rhythmbox or is there just the one it comes w/ [10:11] goldsniper, no [10:11] i want have a friend who now and expert in ubuntu, Arie Indonesia my phone number +627518230885 [10:11] ameet, what version broadcom card do you ahve? [10:11] dgjones, thanks [10:11] zenobius: ok, that might need an alsa compile. ati chipsets: evil. didn't see that [10:11] goldsniper, okay, go to |system | administration | update manager [10:11] i dun have a problem with wireless [10:11] ok..wait a minute [10:11] anyone familar with network pxe booting the os [10:11] compwiz18: he has a 1390 [10:12] i want have a friend who now and expert in ubuntu, Arie Indonesia my phone number +627518230885/ [10:12] Johnny_5: for skinned music players try the skins2 for vlc, its quite awesome. [10:12] ok..done cwillu [10:12] goldsniper, click check [10:12] compwiz18, tell me please [10:12] k [10:12] Johnny_5: also i fyou want winamp visualisation studio, adacious has a clone [10:12] erawfish thanks I must admit I've never been able to reproduce it either. Maybe it's an urban myth :) [10:12] how to fix that [10:12] yes clicked check [10:12] k [10:12] goldsniper, when that's done, click install updates [10:12] johnny_5: adacious is also highly skinnable [10:12] is there such a thing in Linux as having to maintain your RAM?... like in Windows? [10:12] or a cyber myth :) [10:13] so nothing for rhythmbox? [10:13] i cant click install updates..its grey out [10:13] zetheroo, there isn't really in windows either [10:13] zenobius: an OS always has to "Maintain RAM" aka do memory management. it's its job. what an OS does [10:13] cwillu: sure there is [10:13] zetheroo, there's such a thing as fragmentation, but there's little you can do as a user (or any third party program) [10:13] zetheroo: mmm, many things that you have come to take as "industry standrasd" when using windows is actually a afterthought due to micorosft not implementing certain feature at the first version of windows [10:13] ubuntu_newbie: you from indonesia? [10:13] why is it grey out? [10:14] zenobius: is adacious anything like rhythmbox? [10:14] Johnny_5: its a clone of winamp 2.91 [10:14] goldsniper, are you sure you're not already running 2.0.0.11? [10:14] or rather a lighter improved version of xmms [10:14] yes [10:14] This channel is a lot more international than the Freenode one. I like that, but I have to go now seeya later [10:14] ah...much like xmms... [10:14] goldsniper, greyed out would usually mean that you're up to date (assuming everything else is working properly) [10:14] cwillu: I have had to always have a RAM app running to clear the RAM of unnecessarily used space [10:14] anyone knows how can I install software again ? :((( [10:15] Johnny_5: if you want a itunes like player i recommend : listen and gMusicBrowser [10:15] cwillu: Windows seems to be really archaic in that area [10:15] zenobius: this doesn't work well, either in windows or in linux. and no linux doesn't need it [10:15] zetheroo, gah; unfortunately, that's not the case; those utilities are not really doing anything useful [10:15] white_eagle, if you are absolutely sure there is no other package manager running (and I take no responsibility for this command or what it does) run --> sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-broken <-- then try installing your program [10:15] erawfish: ? [10:15] zetheroo: it's not. just criminals selling useless software [10:15] clicked HELP-About Mozilla Firefox-- version 2.0.0.6 [10:15] zetheroo, they tend to force caches to be emptied (increases the free space, but you don't actually want completely unused free space) [10:15] zetheroo: this RAM program thing is snakeoil. useless === syc_ is now known as AnotherNoOne [10:15] k [10:15] zetheroo, short answer is no, and no under windows either [10:15] cwillu: why not? [10:16] zetheroo, completely free memory is wasted memory [10:16] compwiz18, I told you, I logged off and logged back in, and it still couldn't get the exclusive loc [10:16] is anything wrong with my ubuntu? [10:16] zetheroo: cause caches is good. and free ram is very bad [10:16] free ram is wasted ram [10:16] goldsniper, close firefox if you have it open, and reopen it (including any download windows, etc) [10:16] goldsniper, and then open the about page [10:16] Hello, I have XAMPP installed, can someone tell me how can I do to have also ASP working? [10:17] cwillu: okay...done [10:17] cwillu: not if its full of old data that should have automatically "ejected" itself when the corresponding application closed [10:17] anyone know about booting os from network. pls anyone hellp!!! [10:17] Lcark: why don't you use ubuntu apache? [10:17] zetheroo, yes, even in that case [10:17] zetheroo: wrong [10:17] compwiz18, thanks very much [10:17] zetheroo, cached memory can be repurposed for effectively no cost whatsoever [10:17] still version 2.0.0.6 [10:17] whats the best way to convert a dvd size mdf image to an iso file [10:17] erawfish I needed also a ftp server and XAMPP installed it for me [10:17] goldsniper, is it connected to the internet right now? [10:17] !sbackup [10:17] sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe [10:18] goldsniper, and is there any chance you've disabled the security update repository by accident? [10:18] zetheroo: even in Windows, apps haven't really leaked memory like that since Windows 2000/XP [10:18] Lcark: ubuntu has about half a dozen ftp servers too [10:18] cwillu: I don't understand then.... where is the logic in having 2 GB of RAM and thus having half of it free ?... if its going to be "bad" as you say? [10:18] zethroo: we really need some links to docs that explain how windows an linux manage memory and diskspace differently from each other [10:18] erawfish is it easier to make ASP working on ubuntu apache? [10:18] !cloning [10:18] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [10:18] !backup [10:18] zetheroo, memory being free because you haven't actually accessed 2gb worth of material is a somewhat different case, but you don't gain any performance from it being free [10:18] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [10:18] err... i think so..im using it [10:19] !rsync [10:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about rsync - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:19] zenobius: they don't. they pretty much do the same thing, only that Linux isn't so lock happy for used files. that's the biggest difference [10:19] zetheroo, if there was an effective way to preload 2gb of cache, it would [10:19] Lcark: you realise asp is microsoft land? active server pages [10:19] im connected to the internet, using pidgin to be here [10:19] goldsniper, when you clicked on the check updates button, did it list any updates? [10:19] goldsniper, okay, go the system|administration| synaptic [10:19] zetheroo: think its better to have windows read a networked external hard drive with ext3 or ntfs... which would be better for both system i guess is my question... hard drive being ext3 or ntfs [10:19] cwillu: well if I did not have 2 GB of RAM I would have a definit problem with performance [10:19] cinemagoo: r u talking about rebooting a box from another box in the network? [10:19] cwillu: so yes I am gaining "power" from having more RAM [10:19] zenobius yes, but i have apache, and a client needed to use ASP, so im trying to put ASP on apche [10:19] cwillu :okay [10:19] Josiah: doesn't really matter [10:19] Lcark: hence to run it you need to have in place a package which may not exist in future due to litigation by the microsoftians [10:20] zetheroo, only so far as you're using enough applications and data that you need 2gb to keep it all in memory [10:20] Josiah: I never said I would rather have Windows [10:20] Lcarkthere is packages in repos for it [10:20] cwillu: exactly [10:20] zenobius: you gain power by having more tam. you get negative power from constantly "freeing" (something that is impossible btw) [10:20] zetheroo, the biggest gain from memory is being able to keep disk in memory [10:20] Lcark: do you mean asp or asp.net? [10:20] zetheroo: lol.. thats not what i ment... thank you erawfish [10:21] VSpike im not really sure [10:21] goldsniper, now, scroll down to firefox, and tell me the installed version (the whole thing, it'll be about 30-40 letters long) [10:21] Lcark: asp.net is C sharp, which requires mono [10:21] dgjones: i click check but no updates listed [10:21] Lcark: you can run asp.net http://www.mono-project.com/ASP.NET [10:21] cwillu : wait [10:21] Lcark: ironically asp may be harder [10:21] lcark : sudo apt-cache search asp | grep apache [10:22] cinemagoo: r u talking about rebooting a box from another box in the network? [10:22] lcark: dont use gutsy [10:22] cwillu: I dunno ... it just seemed that under Windows 512 MB of RAM went no where fast.... and then when I used Cacheman or RAMfree.... this were moving faster and progs were loading faster.... [10:22] Johnny_5: he talks about network booting obviously [10:22] can anyone here elp me get a linux router to work bi-dirrectional i have one way connections but the other way can't see nuffin' [10:22] !pxe [10:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about pxe - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:22] zenobius I use the last version of Xbuntu [10:22] cwillu: In Linux there seems to be no problem with this though [10:22] Agent_bob: install ipmasq [10:22] anybody played stalker on ubuntu? if so how does it run? [10:22] hi [10:22] zetheroo, when you use a 'ram freeing' program, you're forcing the os to reload things from disk instead of having it already in memory (which is the most common case) [10:22] VSpike are .aspx files ASP or ASP.net? [10:23] Lcark: asp.net [10:23] mosno: Thank you very much for your help. [10:23] cwillu: seems that in Linux even 512MB of RAM goes a long way [10:23] how do you add custom launchers to AWN? [10:23] erawfish using it but it's uni-dirrectional [10:23] Lcark: got all repos opened? (main restricted universe multiverse) [10:23] installed version : 2.0.0.6-2nobinonly-0ubuntu1 [10:23] Hi there - anyone know of an HTTP app that can authenticate via some unique RSA device/key to then gain access to servers via SSH,RDP,etc and have features of saving sessions in video with playback and other people viewing current sessions if authenticated? Just wondering if software like this existed somewhere or if developing in house is the only option. [10:23] Hi Guys, I've recently put dapper on a server (only install i had) and then i've upgraded it to edgy, feisty, gutsy [10:23] zetheroo, what you might have seen is a fairly recent change in firefox's behaviour on windows [10:23] jin: drag from menu or desktop and drop on bar [10:23] Agent_bob: define "unidirectional". be more specific [10:23] and in there, it now doesn't boot, the old kernel boots, but the new ones dont.. [10:23] latest version is the same [10:23] goldsniper, okay, now go to settings | repositories [10:23] :-( [10:24] Jakes: this doesn't exist over http and it would be crap too if used ovre http [10:24] essentially seems to not be able to find the boot device, but it's there when i 'ls' from the initramfs [10:24] cwillu: well I have not used Windows on any of my PC's for about a year... so I would not know how a new version of Firefox runs in Windows [10:24] any ideas? (sorry about the multiline) [10:24] Josiah: hmmm, converting the document at docs.google.com means it has to leave my pc which is not possible. How can I convert it locally on my ubuntu pc? [10:24] ok..done [10:24] cinemagoo: just ssh in the box u want to reboot then sudo reboot [10:24] erawfish from the 192.168.1.0/24 lan i can access anything on the 192.168.0.0/24 lan but not the other way around. [10:24] goldsniper, now go to the updates tab [10:24] vlt: no internet access? [10:24] ok..done [10:24] Agent_bob: why do you have two private subnets? [10:24] goldsniper, under ubuntu updates, gutsy-security and gutsy-updates should both be selected, right? [10:24] erawfish there is a single linux box with two eth cards between them. [10:24] vlt: what are you trying to convert? and to what format? [10:25] docx to doc [10:25] anyone here who creates music in ubuntu? what software is recommended? [10:25] Agent_bob: your setup is not where one uses NAT [10:25] how do i install KDE4 in ubuntu 7.10? by installing kde4base from Synaptic? [10:25] Josiah: No, but it's sensitive data. [10:25] huh..none is checked [10:25] !kde4 [10:25] kde4 is KDE 4 is the next major release of the K Desktop Environment. For more information, please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_4 - The Release Schedule is available at http://tinyurl.com/2gqwmr - RC 2 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc2.php [10:25] erawfish i know. so how do i get it to work ? [10:25] How do you tell how much space a black cd has ? It is not on the cd itself [10:25] zenobius: I try to convert .docx to something readable [10:25] huh...none is checked [10:25] zetheroo, if you ran firefox under windows, they recently changed it to not trim its working set in a few important cases, which resulted in artificially high memory pressure. a 'memory freeing [10:25] vlt: ah ok at least you have net access... ok one sec [10:25] Agent_bob: by bridging thw two cards instead. no NAT [10:26] zenobius: docx seems to be MS's new "open" format [10:26] Josiah: ahhh "open" as in you can come in but cant leave [10:26] zetheroo, memory freeing app' would force firefox out of memory, which is worse than necessary, but may have improved the overall performance (there's a setting in the firefox about:config page to change the behaviour) [10:26] erawfish i'm all ears. but pretty network illiterate. avid console user tho. [10:26] erUSUL: alternatively simply enabling ip forwarding [10:26] how do i install KDE4 in ubuntu 7.10? by installing kde4base from Synaptic? [10:26] Agent_bob: alternatively simply enabling ip forwarding [10:26] zetheroo, firefox 3.0 (upcoming) has some changes which should largely solve the problem [10:26] goldsniper, okay, that's your problem :p [10:26] "...scheduled for release on 11 January 2008". coming today? [10:26] vlt: just wait till micorosft unleash the trusted computing facism they have waiting in vista [10:26] erawfish that doesn't work. or i couldn't get it to [10:27] goldsniper, when you installed it, I'm guessing you told it not to install updates at some point by accident [10:27] cwillu: ok yeah... I remember the memory issues with Firefox... [10:27] goldsniper, check off security and updates [10:27] Agent_bob: what doesn't? [10:27] zenobius: lol. and you dont have office im guessing. can you install apps via wine? [10:27] erawfish just enabling ip_forwarding [10:27] ok done... [10:27] zenobius: And then? [10:27] goldsniper, and then click close. it'll tell you to reload, so click the reload button [10:27] Josiah: i only use windows2000 for wow, and nothing else. [10:27] sorry ment that for vlt [10:28] yweaaaa.. its downloading now [10:28] zetheroo, there's a similar issue on linux with firefox, but again, that'll go away with hardy (which has firefox 3.0) [10:28] goldsniper, sweet :) [10:28] thanks a lot... u guys are great [10:28] vlt: it like hte next level of source code lockin, but with gpg keys or something similar, only the vendor releases them at a high cost, [10:28] Josiah: I _have_ Office. OpenOffice.org [10:28] goldsniper, once it's done, you should see the star thingy I mentioned [10:28] cwillu: cool [10:28] erawfish that doesn't work. or i couldn't get it to. you have to have some iptables rules to forward the traffic of just turning on ip_forwarding does me no good at all. but again if you can tell me how. i'll try it. [10:28] i was told by my friend that linux community is very helpful... [10:28] goldsniper, just close synaptic and click on that (or open the update manager I mentioned before), and click install updates [10:28] hi [10:28] is KDE4 in the repos now? [10:29] vlt: bling! http://thedailyblahblah.wordpress.com/2007/07/20/odf-docx-in-openoffice/ [10:29] goldsniper, it has it's moments, but on the whole its pretty good here :) [10:29] and yes... it iss.... you are very helpful [10:29] gurth4ng: no... you can add a repo though [10:29] bullgard4: no problem [10:29] vlt: sorry was wondering if you had msoffice 2007: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Windows-Widgets/System-Utilities/Docx-Converter.shtml run that in wine [10:29] oh, which repo is that? [10:29] Question: I've recently done an upgrade from dapper (through the releases with reboots until gutsy) and currently my gutsy install doesn't want to boot, the initramfs prompt pops up and it has a message about the /by-uuid/... being used, I've attempted to boot from /dev/hda3 and that seems to be unable to find the device. I've done an 'ls' in /dev/ and the devices are there. the original kernel still boots, ideas? [10:29] Agent_bob: iptables -L [10:29] now, having complimented the community, anybody run into synaptic's pref page hanging for no apparent reason? [10:30] huh...51 updates [10:30] erawfish you want that pastebin'd ? [10:30] Agent_bob: if the policy is accept, you don't need any iptables rules [10:30] goldsniper, sounds about right [10:30] zetheroo: do u know which repo i should add? [10:30] UBUNTU ROCKS [10:30] cwillu..im waiting for the updates to finish [10:30] vlt: or this might help http://www.sigmundvoid.com/?p=81 [10:31] about 8 minutes :-D [10:31] cwillu, had that prob on 6.10 + updates, don't know what borked it, but all my admin apps stopped working - frozen screens [10:31] vlt: makes openoffice docx compatible :) [10:31] hi all out there [10:31] someone killall bash'd you [10:31] joshia : nice one buva [10:31] gurth4ng: let me see if I can find them [10:31] moidekar, what other screens did it lock up on do you remember? [10:31] joshia: omg...ignore me [10:32] Alas, i seem to be the only poor soul with the ultimate question :P [10:32] Josiah, I think it may still be an open problem [10:32] Josiah, let me look for a sec [10:32] zenobius: sorry mate... spell my name right and i wont ignore :) [10:32] cwillu: network tools and software sources, sum and bum [10:32] can someone help me out, Somehow I lost all my buttons on the top right of my windows, to be able to exit out and minimize and things of that sort how do I fix this? [10:32] kek [10:32] /facepalm [10:32] erawfish let me get on a box on the other side of the linux router box so i can mess with it without loosing connection here. [10:32] zetheroo: thx a lot, i'm trying but i dindt have much luck so far :) [10:32] ae [10:32] moidekar, did they lock up when you opened them, or when you tried to close them? [10:33] Josiah: ima grab that too, all i need now is a filemaker pro import for openoffice base [10:33] can someone help me out, Somehow I lost all my buttons on the top right of my windows, to be able to exit out and minimize and things of that sort how do I fix this? [10:33] cwillu : that yellow starish icon just popped out [10:33] roky: just hit ctrl+alt+del from now on :) [10:33] I tried that [10:34] Josiah, http://download.novell.com/SummaryFree.jsp?buildid=ESrjfdE4U58%7E is rumoured to have a linux docx converted; haven't tried it though, so fair warning [10:34] what ftp client can I use on Ubuntu? it seems I can't copy files to my ftp account via the gnome connect to server feature. [10:34] roky: top right bar? like the time search network sound user power everything? [10:34] erawfish http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d12a2c1ea that's what i have right now. [10:34] cwillu: no hard and fast rule: Network tools would display an initial screen, but no controls on it - freeze apparently occurred somewhere in init. Software Sources whenever I tried to switch tabs (initial display was OK)... don't rem abt the others - it was around 3 months ago [10:34] cwillu: not I that needs it... vlt does [10:34] josiah: no like the buttons you use to exit out of apps, and minimize out of them [10:34] vlt^^^ [10:34] jin: can use a extension for firefox or gftp [10:35] cwillu: ah :) lol [10:35] erawfish most of that was automaticly set by ipmasq [10:35] Agent_bob: all unecessary as I told you. and you want to have the policy ACCEPT in the forward chain [10:35] Agent_bob: I know [10:35] so i kill ipmasq dump all rules and ??? [10:36] moidekar, hmm; doesn't seem to be the same issue, but thanks for the thought [10:36] Agent_bob: as long as ipmasq is active you cannot reach your goal [10:36] gurth4ng: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/12/18/how-to-install-kde-4-rc-2-in-ubuntu/ [10:36] erawfish like i said i can kill. but then what ? [10:36] roky: in everything or just firefox? [10:36] ok... now is the any good games for ubuntu? [10:36] josiah: every windows [10:36] you set the FORWARD policy correctly and enable ip_forward [10:36] like need for speed [10:36] every windows* [10:37] window* [10:37] roky: ok one sec [10:37] cwillu, no probs - wouldn't have been able to help anyhow :-( since I jumped ship to MDV 2008 PP for the interim, and am now on 7.04 which seems to work OK so far. [10:37] josiah: k [10:37] erawfish how do i "set the FORWARD policy correctly" ? [10:37] cwillu: did you get it converted? and did you see my openoffice post not the application post? [10:37] zetheroo: thx very much :) [10:38] gurth4ng: sure [10:38] Josiah, cwillu: Thank you. What license is there for the novell tool? GPL? [10:38] by setting the iptables default policy for the forward chain. why do have the say the same thing over and over again. /me stops doing it now [10:38] Josiah, sorry, I just came in halfway; I don't have to support any ms software anymore, so I haven't run into any docx files yet, just knew they were an issue [10:38] gosh... is there really no simple way to record streaming audio!? [10:38] cwillu: Yes, that's my problem. I get more and more docx files.

It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. [10:44] ooo... [10:44] ok...

[10:45] spanther: Go to the 64 bit section in ubuntu forums and read about the problems people have had with 64 bit. if those won't affect you choose whichever you like. I'm using 64 bit with no problems at all but you may have different needs. [10:45] Kalamansi: I already told you [10:45] spanther: those reasons might be that you need to support 4G of RAM or more, or that you have specific requirements for very large files or databases, or processing requirements that you know will benefit from 64 bit optimisations [10:45] spanther: look at your proc and tell me if its 32 or 64, and 32 is not necesarily slower depends on hardware like everything else [10:46] josiah: kk [10:46] goldsniper: adequate software for what?

I was just saying thats weird because I just fixed mine lol [11:01] malinthe: remove the device, then plug it in again and type dmesg in a terminal. Look at the last few lines for something like /dev/usbxyz [11:02] roky: Well, there is a fix, but its a manual one and can cause issues with future upgrades if done improperly [11:02] malinthe: then do "ls -l /dev/usbxyz" or whatever the device was to see the permissions [11:02] flannel: well, I didnt exactly know that when I did it.

[11:27] Jack_Sparrow, yup with xp and my machine is 64bit ga-vm900m and the only option i see in this motherboard is ied and raid in sata [11:27] cwillu: it's sth called intex. has a philips SAA7130 tuner chip. [11:27] !es ? [11:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about es ? - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:27] !es [11:27] Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.

[11:28] Malinthe, the thing I said about mpeg2 will only work if it does [11:28] cwillu: i'm not sure [11:28] kirk: one we've had a film company film for us. burned to a dvdr [11:28] chealdo: I would use the ide optionin the bios and install the 32 bit version [11:28] Malinthe, k; I know mythtv will do live tv recording stuff (pause, rewind, etc) [11:28] I just get noise when totem/mplayer/xine/vlc try to play it [11:28] chealdo: How much room on the hard drive are you giving to ubuntu [11:28] Malinthe, it'll need a fairly beefy machine if the card doesn't do encoding onboard though [11:28] unfortunatley the computers dileverd for me from saudi is all 64bit intel pentium4 ht [11:29] cwillu: okay [11:29] 40GB for ubuntu [11:29] chealdo: ou can still use the 32 but ubuntu [11:29] chealdo: Sorry my fingers are not awake yet [11:30] itried gutsy but during installation it goes black and says it restarted 6times and theres something wrong with your hardware...ubuntu sys [11:30] chealdo: create two partitions plus the swap drive equal to your ram [11:31] what about the bios [11:31] chealdo: How many partitions are you running for XP [11:31] i got 80Gb and 37Gb for xp [11:32] chealdo: Stick with ide in the bios not the soft raid.. [11:32] sata>>>ide is that right? or sata>>>>raid [11:33] Kalamansi: the packet filter in the kernel is netfilter. iptables makes use of this already [11:33] chealdo: Yes to IDE... the partitioning as litle as 10 for / which is root and 28 for /home then the swap [11:33] erawfish: dnsmasq aint a good recommnedation for them, usually they only mean a gui for the already existing firewall (netfilter) [11:33] chealdo: How many partitions are you running for XP? [11:34] just one [11:34] chealdo: Just did not want you to run into the 4 Primary partition limit.. [11:35] hi [11:35] well i like ubuntu to use the whole disk [11:35] zenobius: what has dnsmasq to do with netfilter again? [11:35] white_eagle: best bandwidth limiting solution i found was : per app : trickle for limitiing bandwidth wo other computers on a lan that connect to the internet via a dedicated linux box, use squid [11:35] the bittorrent client is soo slow (the built in) [11:35] and gonna rid of the xp thing [11:35] how can i make it faster? [11:35] zenobius: and where did I talk about dnsmasq? [11:35] My camera no longer works [11:35] chealdo: Ubuntu will be using the 40 you have left [11:35] It's a hercules webcam Deluxe [11:36] ok [11:36] Can anyone help me with that? [11:36] Kalamansi: sudo apt-get install firestarter, then system -> admins -> firestarter.. then turn on internet connection sharing [11:36] zenobius : i cant understand netfilter.. is it okay to use firestarter? is it the same as netfilter? [11:37] chealdo: I have been withubuntu for years. I still dual boot. I just dont give XP access to the network card as I disabled the network card in the hardware settings. [11:37] erawfish: he asked for internet sharing and you gave dnsmasq. all that is required is firestarter [11:38] ok is ahci possible to my motherboard or just work around with sata>>>ide [11:38] Jack_Sparrow : you are in ubuntu for years.. what can you suggest? [11:38] sluimers: DId it work before, did you recently upgrade etc.. we need a little mre info [11:38] zenobius: I never did such a thing [11:38] dnsmasq is not ipmasq [11:38] erawfish : like firestarter? [11:38] kalamsi isuggest the latest version of ubuntu [11:38] Kalamansi: firestarter talks to iptables which talks to the kernel level netfilter [11:38] chealdo : yes i have that running now [11:39] zenobius : do you think thats what i need? [11:39] Jack_Sparrow, I haven't used it in a while, so maybe its becuse I upgraded from feisty to gutsy? [11:39] *because [11:39] so well wait for the heron to release [11:39] Kalamansi: No sure about your issue. I will look when I am done with my other questions..ok? [11:39] zenobius : i am not familiar with netfilter tho [11:39] Jack_Sparrow alright [11:39] !firewall [11:39] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [11:40] Kalamansi: you dont need to be [11:40] zenobius : you mean i dont need firestarter? [11:40] chealdo: One more thing [11:40] Jack_Sparrow, yup [11:41] chealdo: Have you run the livecd yet. If you have a problem. My gigabit MB needed me to hit F^ and add noapic to the boot like [11:41] F6 [11:41] Kalamansi: yes you do, for the easiest way to enable internet connection sharing using one devie on your puter for the net and one devie for the connection to your local lan. its pretty much like windows interenet connection sharing [11:42] Kalamansi: you choose the ethernet device thats hooked to the internet(wan) and then the one thats hooked to the local lan. [11:42] zenobius : okay . it can utilize traffic too? [11:42] Jack_Sparrow, what kind of F F6 F8 or what [11:42] zenobius : like pc2 will download some files? [11:42] zenobius : and i can block also sites in firestarter? === cj_ is now known as cj [11:42] Kalamansi: pretty much transparent, cept your computer may be 192.168.0.2 and your router is 192.168.0.1, but your friends on your lan ethernet device will be another subnet [11:43] Kalamansi: definitly [11:43] chealdo: At start or install you can hit F6 then on the boot line before the -- type in noapic [11:43] zenobius : cept? [11:43] Kalamansi: you can either whitelist sites, ip or ports or you can blacklist ips, ports or addresses [11:43] Jack_Sparrow, what i did is got load the live cd then typical installation then in the partion part it says manual and then it never detected the sata drive [11:43] Kalamansi: cept = except [11:44] if you want to restrict bandwidth usages to some addresses, ip or ports you need to use squid as well [11:45] Hey, is there a way to change my compiz theme? I liked some of the things you could do with emerald in beryl, is that still around? [11:45] chealdo: if it got to the desktop .. then try the option ide=nodma [11:45] azmoo: apt-get install emerald [11:45] <_Undefined> does anyone know of any drivers that work with NDISwrapper for a belkin pre-N wireless adapter based on the Marvell Pre-N chipset? [11:45] AzMoo: or open synaptics package manager and search for and install emerald [11:46] what's the syntax for a private ubotu query? [11:46] !test > cwillu [11:46] AzMoo: and emerald-themes, then goto gnome-look, kde0look, or beryl-look or deviant art, etc and download .emerald files [11:46] cwillu: /msg ubotu [11:46] zenobius: heh, yeah ta. Probably should've just done that in the first place ;) [11:46] thx [11:46] AzMoo: gtk-window manager is fastest though [11:46] duh, right [11:46] zenobius : but i dont use router like "linksys" ... i use modem that my isp give to me [11:46] Kalamansi: okies then you puter is the router [11:47] Kalamansi: rather it will act like one [11:47] zenobius : yah.. [11:47] Is there a package that switches my desktop background after a certain time? [11:47] zenobius : whats the config to my built-in nic1? and to temp nic2? [11:47] what's the difference between universe and multiverse? [11:48] Jack_Sparrow, is the ide=nodma thru terminal? [11:48] and restricted [11:48] KenSentMe: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Environment/Tools/Wallpaper-Slideshow-23289.shtml [11:48] zenobius : and also my isp gave me a statice ip and dns and gateway too. but it is already stored in the isp modem [11:48] !universe | hwdyki [11:48] hwdyki: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

[12:16] jabrahamsen: do you mean the grub switch? [12:16] showing the messages [12:16] yeah grub setup [12:16] chealdo: they are usually detected as scsi devices and given a /dev/sd* name, but i've seen some that use sata-to-ide bridge thing and appear as regular ide (hd*) [12:16] ...if that is what you're asking [12:16] etfb: /boot/grub/menu.lst is the file where you turned off splash and quiet... if that is what you mean [12:16] jabrahamsen: in /boot/grub/menu.lst - remove any mention of splash and quiet [12:17] jabrahamsen: look in /boot/grub/menu.lst add the option "quite" to default boot options [12:17] Jack_Sparrow: Snap! [12:17] jabrahamsen: you'll have to run "sudo update-grub" to make it active [12:17] :) [12:17] Slart: quiet. [12:17] etfb: I did that, but I want to be able to read a file of the stuff that gets printed, AFTER I've finished booting [12:17] <_moro_bana_> Jack_Sparrow: http://gaming.gwos.org/doku.php [12:17] oops.. make that quiet..

[12:19] Jack_Sparrow: : I did that, but I want to be able to read a file of the stuff that gets printed, AFTER I've finished booting [12:19] Jack_Sparrow, btw what if it won't work in noapic what else will i type [12:19] and then what was the command to update the grub [12:20] sudo update-grub' [12:20] bah.. without the ' [12:20] ta [12:21] Slart: I don't think you need update-grub for that, do you? I removed the offending options and next time I rebooted it was fine. [12:22] chealdo: Sorry, I was reading.. ide=nodma is what I would try first [12:22] etfb: then you changed the part of the file where it says "DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE".. now didn't you =) [12:22] _moro_bana_: You are right.. there is no 64 bit version.. [12:22] etfb: and your changes will be overwritten if there comes a new kernel..

[12:25] anyone know how to test that my webcam is working in skype on ubuntu 7.10 ? i just installed the latest skype about an hour ago. i don't see where to test the webcam or mic or speakers (and none of the contacts i have to video chat with are on right now).

I think you're only supposed to change the first one.. and then run update-grub and it changes all the rest of the lines for you [12:27] jack_sparrow : we held a Pirates & Wenches Party here last night in Tel Aviv :) it was quite ridiculously fun :) [12:27] Jack_Sparrow, yes it is, but someone was telling me about a better codec than GStreamer i just cant remember the name of it [12:27] _moro_bana_: Yes.. they are improving on the driver, === josh__ is now known as schnootop [12:27] Slart: I don't like the way it arranges them by default, so I always reedit. Besides, haven't you ever wanted to write in the "do not write in this space" space? [12:28] etfb: of course..I draw naughty ascii graphics down there.. =) [12:28] So: all that text that gets printed on boot up. Is it stored in a file anywhere? How do I find it? I know about dmesg, but that's only some of it. [12:29] Slart: If you do that, you get a terse and grumpy email from Linus, and you have to stay behind and clean the erasers.

[12:34] inflex: winefish because kile isn't working [12:35] mmm... not familiar with either of those personally [12:35] (sorry) [12:35] but usually an overfull box shouldn't be enough to terminate the processing via the TeX engine [12:35] exit code: 1 [12:36] actually it's around 18pt too wide [12:36] hi all, linux newbie here :) [12:36] guys, how can i add 'refresh desktop' to ubuntu desktop context-menu? (which was available in windoez) [12:37] anyone got any suggestions where i can get some help with dmraid please?? forums there is no response and I have asked a few times in this channel with no luck?? [12:37] Malinthe: I don't believe you can, what seems to be the problem that you need to refresh the 'desktop'? [12:37] I have managed to set up dual screen and compiz on unbuntu. I've also installed the xfce desktop, I'm wondering if I can specify a different xorg.conf to use when I select the xfce session? [12:37] inflex: so i really got a problem :/ === philip__ is now known as firippu [12:38] Pici: I moved from windoez recently and i'm used to clicking that over and over :) and i miss it in ubuntu :) [12:38] Malinthe: You shouldn't have to refresh the desktop. [12:38] Pici: true, but i'm used to doing that ;) [12:39] well you could make a menu entry that does nothing maybe? [12:39] that would satisfy your desire to clcik it ;) [12:39] tass: are you able to edit the tex source ? [12:39] Malinthe: Since you don't need to do it, why not just convince yourself that the Shift key does it, and get into the habit of pressing that. Like nicotine patches for the screen... [12:39] inflex: jep [12:39] tass: do those programs you mentioned generate the TeX for you, or are they just TeX sensitive editors? [12:40] inflex: tex sensitive editors [12:40] (sorry, I'm not being much use now --- I usually use LyX ) [12:40] etfb: :) [12:40] mmm... might be useful if you go to #latex [12:40] <_trine> can someone tell me how to get all the menus back again on my ubuntu [12:41] <_trine> they have disappeared [12:41] <_trine> it the latest version [12:41] _trine: The menu bar with "Applications, Places, System" has disappeared? [12:41] <_trine> yes [12:41] <_trine> I don't know why [12:42] does anyone know an answer for my session question? or can point me to a good session tutorial or article? [12:42] _trine: Right click on the panel, select 'add to panel' and pick Menu Bar [12:43] Kanedacorp: By the time that GDM has started, it is already running X and has processed your xorg file. [12:43] can I map the winkey to open the applications menu instead of using F1 ? [12:43] Just upgraded to Gutsy. When playing music in Rhythmbox, all that comes through is static with a slight hint of the song way underneath. All other audio apps work perfectly fine. Any ideas? [12:43] And Rhythmbox used to work fine on this comp [12:43] GDM is the login screen? [12:43] Kanedacorp: Yes. [12:44] <_trine> Pici: sorry for a dumb question but do you mean right click in the screen? [12:44] <_trine> because there is no panel [12:44] _trine: Are you missing the entire grey bar at the top? [12:44] <_trine> yes [12:44] so... no one knows what 7.10 uses / invokes when you select "copy CD/DVD" ? [12:44] _trine: What about the one on the bottom? [12:44] <_trine> gone as well [12:45] how can we use terminal screen to search for a package over internet such as lets say Kopete instant manager? [12:45] <_trine> I still have all my desktop icons [12:45] any one be able to tell me how to wipe my computer and start from scratch??? [12:45] hello. i'm on pidgin, but it says I need SSl stuff to get on msn. any help? [12:45] neuro_sys: Use dpkg [12:45] _trine: Were you playing around with the panels before this happened? [12:45] Xion: many many ways [12:45] dpkg? [12:46] Xion: If you just restart with a Ubuntu install CD it'll offer you to do it with a complete format [12:46] <_trine> no I just turned on my computer and they did not reappear they were all working when I last used it [12:46] neuro_sys: Woops, sorry :) dselect's probably what you're looking for [12:46] oh yeah so if i use the boot disc i can go about it like that [12:47] amidaniel: er.. thats not really going to help either. [12:47] is there a tool to remember the windows size? or modify the window size when clicked on the maximize button? [12:47] neuro_sys: use `apt-cache search package` [12:47] is it possible to partion my hard drive without losing data? [12:47] any other than dpkg? I'm using Fedora 8 [12:47] oh okay [12:47] want to duel partition my hard drive [12:47] neuro_sys: Why are you asking in an Ubuntu channel? [12:47] can I map the winkey to open the applications menu instead of using F1 ? [12:47] neuro_sys: That won't work, please ask in #fedora as we do not use the same packaging systems. [12:48] lol, my DNS server seems to be get banned from #Fedora [12:48] Xion: not sure that you want to fight with your partitions... but if you want dual partitions, yes, you can setup that ... though you may find that it's better to setup Windows first [12:48] Xion: since Windows installs clobber the boot setup [12:48] neuro_sys: Thats not much of an excuse. [12:48] how to fix errors on add/remove applications [12:48] ? [12:48] neuro_sys: Take it up with them, or ask in a distro independent channel like ##linux [12:48] yeah thats why i wanted to wipe and start over [12:49] * neuro_ cries as he keeps getting pinged :) [12:49] have all the stuff i want backed up [12:49] _trine: if you press alt-f2, does a little window come up? [12:49] <_trine> yes [12:49] _trine: type: gnome-panel [12:49] but yeah if i just run the install disk i can uninstall and wipe like that??? [12:50] Xion: Yes. [12:50] great, thanx alot [12:50] Xion: It just wipes, no need to 'uninstall' [12:50] !flash [12:50] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [12:50] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [12:50] nice [12:50] alsadk: Have you changed your sources list.. what is the exact error it gives [12:50] thanx for the help, lol i gotta go, have a bit of work ahead of me [12:50] yes [12:51] !who [12:51] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [12:51] alsadk: What did you do to your sources list? [12:51] hi, can anybody use webcam with skype in ubuntu? [12:51] _trine: Did that help? [12:51] <_trine> Pici: I'm just going to reboot I will be back in 3 minutes and I want to say I appreciate your help [12:51] _trine: Okay [12:51] <_trine> it did not work [12:51] <_trine> but [12:51] i change it to another one [12:52] <_trine> Pici: xfce4-panel worked [12:52] <_trine> Pici: but not the gnome-panel [12:52] MrKeuner: I could.. for a short while.. with the latest skype beta.. but it was broken in so many other ways so I removed it [12:52] _trine: Are you running Gnome or xfce? [12:52] anyone know how to get awn run on startup always ? [12:52] alsadk: Perhaps you could tell us what you changed and what you were trying to do so that we may help you [12:52] <_trine> Pici: so I'm going to try a reboot [12:52] Slart: that's what I thought thanks [12:53] ohi, after a sudden power outage, the internet stopped stopped working on my gutsy system. It can ping the gateway and get to any address on the LAN, it just refuses to find the internet. This computer is on the same internet connection. What can I do to fix it, rebooting hasn't helped, neither has disabling and then reenabling the network adapter [12:53] !session | schnootop [12:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about session - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [12:53] <_trine> Pichu0102: gnome [12:53] <_trine> opps [12:53] !startup | schnootop [12:53] schnootop: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [12:53] <_trine> Pici: : gnome [12:53] _trine: okay, try the reboot then :) [12:53] i have an nvidia geforce fx 5200 card and nvidia-glx-new is installed. tv out is also working. monitor resolution: 1152x864, tv resolution: 1024x768. how can i enable full screen video to the tv? (it's usually available in windows nvidia control panel) [12:53] <_trine> Pici: ok [12:53] Malinthe, I think it's nvidia-config [12:53] nvidia-settings, sorry [12:54] while deleting apps its ends with error but after try to install mythtv with no enough space [12:54] cwillu: i checked there. clone mode is already enabled. but there's no fullscreen video overlay? [12:54] apps deleted but ends with error [12:54] Malinthe, it should just work, assuming that you get any output on the tv at all [12:55] Hi. I have a bare ubuntu "console" setup (no Gnome or X) and I would like to be able to automount a USB storage stick when I plug it in and automatically run a script when it is mounted. Can anyone give some pointers how can I achieve this? [12:55] cwillu: i get tv output. but when i maximize the video on my monitor, tv cuts the bottom and left. (due to the resolution difference) [12:55] barduck, hal or udev triggers I think, although it's been a while [12:56] Malinthe, okay, sounds like overscan issues [12:56] cwillu: so far, I am able to mount the USB stick manualy but can't figure out how to make it automount as soon as I plug it in [12:57] is there any package I need to install ? [12:57] I know the full Ubuntu install mounts it automatically [12:57] barduck, I'm not sure how tied into gnome that is though [12:58] barduck: I thought there was an automount option for removeable media in the settings [12:58] Jack_Sparrow: which settings ? I am using an alternative install with only the base system [12:58] flash plugin can't play sounds but Gnome's players can. What should I do? [12:59] barduck: system preferences removeable drives and media [12:59] Jack_Sparrow, he doesn't have gnome installed :p [12:59] Jack_Sparrow: well....I dont have that :) [12:59] I am looking for a way to configure it without VM/Gnome etc [12:59] barduck: sorry, didnt catch that part. [12:59] WM [12:59] if i find sensitive data housed in the open, is it illegal for me to copy it? [12:59] Hi Guys.. any of you know what they do to their destop to have a 3d effect like this ? http://bmpx.backtrace.info/site/Image:Bmpx-0.40-screenshot-9.jpg [13:00] barduck, I can't give any particular advice, but look at man hald, and the man pages associated with it [13:00] wood beryl [13:00] kirk: yes, depending on your country of origin.. but yes, most likely [13:00] <_trine> Pici: I have rebooted but gnome-panel does not bring up the panel [13:00] kirk: ask a lawyer, not here please [13:00] ok [13:00] barduck, you might have to use udev scripts though, I'm not dead sure [13:00] WooD: that is using compiz-fusion [13:00] kirk, is this hard to install ? [13:00] yes [13:00] while deleting apps its ends with error but after try to install mythtv with no enough space [13:00] demonspork, ok is it hard to install [13:01] cwillu: I will look there, thanks. Since Ubuntu can do it on the full install I am sure there must be a way... [13:01] apps deleted but ends with error [13:01] need graphics drivers installed [13:01] kirk, ok [13:01] !beryl [13:01] Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [13:01] oh wow [13:01] * kirk is behind [13:01] you read that wood? [13:01] kirk, yeah . thanks [13:01] barduck, udev provides the hook to hal, which provides the easier to use hooks for dbus, which provides gnome or kde the notification to run the mount command, and the appropriate args to provide the mount command [13:02] barduck, udev creates the files in /dev, and you can add scripts in there, although filtering the device is a bit tricky [13:02] WooD: Go into System>Preferences>appearance and click on visuall effects [13:02] kirk, that'S mean compiz-fuzion is the one to install [13:02] What does the extension '.am' stand for in /usr/src/gnome-power-manager-2.20.0/src/Makefile.am? [13:02] demonspork, I'll check thanks [13:02] WooD: the effect is called cube and you will need to install ccsm to be able to do it [13:02] barduck, hal will provide dbus messages, so that might be an easier way of running things, presuming that dbus is running on your system (I think it is, but I'm not sure) [13:02] !ccsm [13:02] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [13:02] i know that ubuntu is virus free. but should we get an antivirus? it's like this: i get a usb flash drive with windows executables (infected) i copy some files from it and give it to a windows user. isn't it good if i can identify the infected files? [13:03] Jack_Sparrow, ok thanks [13:03] np [13:03] WooD: if you are using ubuntu gutsy, it is already installed, just you won't be able to configure it very much until you install the settings manager [13:03] bullgard4: automake most likely [13:03] barduck, I don't know a whole lot about it, I just use udev to manage assigning 8 keyboards to the right head on my multiseats :p [13:03] ohi, after a sudden power outage, the internet stopped stopped working on my gutsy system. It can ping the gateway and get to any address on the LAN, it just refuses to find the internet. This computer is on the same internet connection. What can I do to fix it, rebooting hasn't helped, neither has disabling and then reenabling the network adapter [13:03] cwillu: I see...well, thats a good start, I will start my search with udev hooks/hal and see if I can figure out how to write my script there. Will it help to boot the Ubuntu LIVE CD and dig there for how it does it ? [13:03] demonspork, unplug everything, leave it unplugged overnight (or at least a few minutes) [13:04] jrib: Thank you for commenting. [13:04] cwillu, it works when I boot it into windows [13:04] demonspork, that's cool !! :) I'll try soon [13:04] <_trine> Pici: it looks like others have had the same problem:- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/143966 [13:04] demonspork, static assigned address on the gutsy? [13:04] Malinthe: There are virus scanners, but they are not needed for ubuntu. In the case you are giving. they should be running their own anti-virus in their own windows anyhow. [13:05] <_trine> Pici: but mine does not come back after typing gnome-panel [13:05] demonspork, I'd still suspect router confusion (just went through this at a remote location a couple days ago), if it worked reliably before [13:05] exit [13:05] Malinthe, yes, it'd be kind to do that [13:05] Jack_Sparrow: :) [13:05] _trine: What version of Ubuntu are you running? Are you running with desktop effects? [13:06] Malinthe, did you get your tv issue sorted out? [13:06] <_trine> Pici: 7.10 [13:06] _trine: Any custom sort of compiz-fusion version running? Or just the defaults? [13:06] <_trine> Pichu0102: I have been messing with desktop effects I think the last time I was using it [13:07] <_trine> Pici: I'm not sure [13:07] _trine: I'm going to suggest that you try asking in #compiz-fusion, they might have a better idea of whats going on here, and may have seen this issue before. [13:07] <_trine> Pici: I thihnk I have just fixed it [13:08] <_trine> Pici: I did killall gnome-panel [13:08] <_trine> Pici: and it came back [13:08] <_trine> Pici: but now i need to see if it comes back after a reboot [13:08] How do I tell if my machine is a thin client? [13:08] joe__, how do you mean? [13:08] _trine: weird. [13:09] joe__, like, booted off the network? [13:09] cwillu: yeah, etc. [13:09] <_trine> Pici: it is wierd when you kill something and it comes back :) [13:09] joe__: Is this your own personal computer? Installed from the CD? [13:09] barduck: gnome-volume-properties is what gets run when you use the menu option to mount removeable media... if that helps [13:09] I am trying to fix an elementary school system setup by someone who's gone and I don't know anything about it. [13:09] ah, k [13:09] joe__, how recent are the machines? [13:09] less than 10 years old? [13:09] <_trine> Pici: give me another few minutes to try a reboot [13:09] Every time I boot up ubuntu I have to run this command: xrandr --output VFA-0 --mode 1600x1200 to get it to go from 1024x768 (editing the xorg.conf and using tools does not resize it) how can I fix this? - Pici you helped me yeterday to get this farm, how do i get the changes to stick? [13:09] Mmm... probably about 10 years old. [13:09] Old IBM NetVista [13:09] Jack_Sparrow: cool, thanks. I will look at that one as well. [13:10] joe__, if you're luckishh, you should see something about pxe boot when you reboot them [13:10] assuming they're a netboot [13:10] I belive they are. WHen i shut down the main server the computers freeze === jolson is now known as Bromskloss [13:10] okay [13:10] and I see something about 'ubuntulab' which I learned is a thin / semi-thin setup [13:10] joe__, ya, almost certainly they are then [13:10] But I was confused by one thing [13:10] joe__, what's the problem you're seeing? [13:11] Each machine has its own set of users.... and users created on one machine don't propagate. ANd users I create on the server don't propagate. [13:11] I get error 'PaHost_OpenStream: could not open /dev/dsp for 0_WRONLY' when I try to use espeak in gutsy, can anyone help ? [13:11] it could be a netboot using the local storage (i.e., just using _some_ of the resources of the server) [13:11] The problem is they need basic maintenance: some of them are dead and I don't know how to set them up. [13:12] joe__, I've played with edubuntu a bit, but not in anything approaching a production environment [13:12] cwillu -- well in that case, I still don't know how to manage users. =) [13:12] joe__, :p [13:12] hmm. drats. I have been in here a million times and can't find any help. I found some edubuntu docs but nothing recent. [13:12] joe__, do you know what version of edubuntu you're running? [13:12] 7.04 [13:12] joe__, don't give up yet, I've got at least a couple hours of wakeful hours left in me :p [13:12] =) [13:13] joe__, there's a administrative tool in one of the menu's, something about client manager or something I think? [13:13] Hi guys, can someone help me out with desktop effects. If I enable the restricted driver I get the composie extension is not available, if I disable it, I get desktop effects could not be enabled. So I seem to be stuck [13:13] joe__, I think the file system the thin clients get are in /opt/ltsp [13:13] Harrison___: What video card do you have? [13:13] Video card is an ATI radeon xpress 200m [13:13] joe__, and the dead clients, how dead are they? [13:13] any of y ou have tried songbird ? this seems to be a pretty good Music Player [13:13] Harrison___: Okay, let me check something [13:14] Thank you [13:14] Probably nothing FSCK wouldn't fix. [13:14] Harrison___, I think you need to run xgl for the restricted driver to work [13:14] Hi! Have a prob with a Radeon 9200. Reconfigured with dpkg, using now ATI driver (open). Should it be Radeon instead? poor scrolling performance... [13:14] what is a good rar unzipper which can handle archived rars [13:14] is that as simple as apt-get xgl? [13:14] or is it then running xconfig as well? [13:14] !rar > schnootop (read the private message from ubotu) [13:14] aye [13:14] Nibblyn, shouldn't make a difference, but if you're running compiz, scrolling performance has issues on that card [13:15] Nibblyn, what does glxinfo | grep -i direct say? [13:15] Every time I boot up ubuntu I have to run this command: xrandr --output VFA-0 --mode 1600x1200 to get it to go from 1024x768 (editing the xorg.conf and using tools does not resize it) how can I fix this? - Pici you helped me yeterday to get this farm, how do i get the changes to stick? [13:15] anyone? [13:15] Harrison___: its xserver-xgl [13:15] is this the best place to ask for help with apache2/php5 setup? [13:15] dusty-sts, what video card? [13:15] cwillu -- i've got a ubuntu boot disk but it doesn't bring up the install on this one particular HD. [13:16] joe__, cd or diskette? [13:16] CD [13:16] ok apt-get install xserver-xgl running [13:16] Can anyone help me with an espeak problem ? [13:16] joe__, the bios may not be set to boot off the cd [13:16] it gives me 'Start or Install Ubuntu' option, however. [13:16] I have a postscript printer with a jetdirect module [13:16] but after that I just get bad sda warnings and, bleh. [13:16] as in they're both installed but when i load a page from the browser that is php the browser (ff/opera) will try to save the page instead of opening it. [13:16] printing to it works fine, except for printing pdf documents [13:16] joe__, does it bring up the cd boot menu at least, or what does it say? [13:16] joe__, okay [13:16] cwillu, Radeon 9200 Pro [13:16] this is on a clean gutsy install [13:16] I'll re-enable the restricted driver and reboot? or get some x-config done? [13:16] !lamp > l337_n166a (read the private message from ubotu) [13:16] dusty-sts, compiz enabled? [13:16] this is an _extremely_ common use case [13:17] is anyone else having similar problems? [13:17] cwillu: will probe... [13:17] joe__, I _think_ you need to add nodma to the boot line [13:17] l337_n166a: follow the "troubleshooting" section for php5 on the wiki page ubotu linked you to [13:17] I see a lot of bugs in launchpad, but no clear answers [13:17] cwillu, Not sure default ubuntu install [13:17] <_trine> Pici: I just rebooted but again there is no panel [13:17] dusty-sts, do the menu's fade in and out? [13:17] any hints? [13:17] thanks! [13:17] cwillu: direct rendering: Yes [13:17] markvandenborre, how to pdf's fail? [13:18] wow, you're smart cwillu. =) [13:18] What did that do? [13:18] cwillu, yes [13:18] Nibblyn, okay, go to system|preferences|appearance|and set the fancyness level to the lowest setting [13:18] bah [13:18] cwillu: evince hangs on printing [13:18] Nevermind. [13:18] =) [13:18] dusty-sts, do what I just said, not Nibblyn [13:18] <_trine> Pici: I just killed it again and it popped up again [13:18] Hi how do i find out my computers ip address in ubuntu? [13:18] cwillu -- I am back to error messages. [13:18] kyle_: open a terminal, say /sbin/ifconfig [13:18] Can anyone help with a Festival problem ? [13:18] one sec, I took one too many people at a time :p [13:19] Sorry. =) [13:19] no problem [13:19] _trine: Did you try askin in #compiz-fusion as well? [13:19] <_trine> Pici: I wonder if this is not gnome panel that's popping up [13:19] markvandenborre, give me 5 minutes :p [13:19] joe__, I'll brb [13:19] cwillu: :) [13:19] cwillu, what did u say? [13:19] <_trine> Pici: not yet [13:19] ah [13:19] _trine: Why would you think that? [13:19] Nibblyn, dusty-sts I need to review what I said to both of you: two people with the same vid card completely threw me off :p [13:19] lol [13:19] i took the fanciness off [13:19] lol [13:19] visual effects = none [13:20] it says the programs currently not installed tarzeau [13:20] ;o [13:20] dusty-sts, you were slow scrolling right? [13:20] Here's a problem for ya: Why can't i uninstall xorg-driver-fglrx? It tells me dpkg-divert: rename involves overwriting `/etc/xdg/compiz/compiz-manager' with different file `/etc/xdg/compiz/compiz-manager.ubuntu', not allowed [13:20] no [13:20] dusty-sts, okay, fanciness off should solve your problem [13:20] <_trine> Pici: well first let me tell you that I'm new to linux and I was wondering if there was something else that could pop up as a panel that looked like gnome-panel [13:20] Nibblyn, you're gonna have the same problem as dusty-sts [13:20] cwillu, i cant resize X ? [13:20] and Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) :/ [13:21] dusty-sts, ? [13:21] <_trine> Pici: because I can't understand how it came reappear if i just killed it [13:21] _trine: no, if you do killall gnome-panel, it will attempt to restart itself. [13:21] This also keeps from installing anything via synaptic or apt-get, etc... [13:21] <_trine> Pici: ah I see [13:21] jrib: Thank you for your help. [13:21] _trine: If you relogin, and click where the panel should be, does it appear? [13:21] Every time I boot up ubuntu I have to run this command: xrandr --output VFA-0 --mode 1600x1200 to get it to go from 1024x768 (editing the xorg.conf and using tools does not resize it) how can I fix this? - Pici you helped me yeterday to get this farm, how do i get the changes to stick? [13:21] bah [13:21] cwillu, that was my question [13:21] dusty-sts, I'm sorry, I got people confused, and then reconfused :p [13:21] <_trine> Pici: I will try that [13:22] lol [13:22] thats ok [13:22] stop multitasking! :p [13:22] dusty-sts, are you running the restricted driver? [13:22] I'm trying ;p [13:23] Nibblyn, what does glxinfo|grep -i direct say? [13:23] <_trine> Pici: no it does not [13:23] dusty-sts: fell free to ask... will wait [13:23] dusty-sts, do you know if you're running fglrx, or the radeon driver (open source driver) [13:23] Nibblyn, go ahead with that command [13:23] I can handle two at a time :p [13:23] just not 4 :p [13:24] cwillu: direct rendering: yes [13:24] how can i unpack a .rar file ? i installed "rar" via synaptic and when i run "rar -x /filename" nothing happens [13:24] Nibblyn, compiz isn't running right now? [13:24] and there seems to be no GUI for rar [13:24] cwillu, i put 'radeon' into xorg.conf IT DID use 'ati' im not sure if thats right [13:24] cwillu, it appears tho my card is recognised automagically [13:24] dusty-sts, same driver actually [13:24] ok [13:24] dusty-sts, yep, good [13:24] <_trine> Pici: which channel was it again was it compiz you said [13:25] cwillu: pardon me... wat is compiz?? ;) [13:25] dusty-sts, they just changed how the radeon is configured in 7.10 [13:25] Nibblyn, fancy graphics on the desktop [13:25] compiz is awesome :p [13:25] Irc via blackberry. This is cooollll [13:25] the .rar file is actually multiple .rar files (it's a big file downloaded from remote server) [13:25] Nibblyn, do the menus fade in when you click them? [13:25] l337_n166a, yeah. [13:25] (but way too powerful for my laptop !!) [13:25] cwillu: no [13:25] _trine: #compiz-fusion [13:25] <_trine> Pici: tnx [13:25] unrar e *.rar [13:25] cwillu, now what? [13:25] could someone give me their opinion whether a vt6421 pci sata card can work in ubuntu? i am reading conflicting answers and im really confused [13:25] thanks duudii [13:26] dusty-sts, I'm posting an xorg.conf file that should work for you [13:26] dusty-sts, i was using a radeon 9250 up until about a month ago with dual screens [13:27] anyone got any experience with vsftpd? I would like all users to be in the same directory when login on to the FTP, not their home dir's [13:27] cwillu, oooh sweet can you post the config for dual screens as i want to plug another monitore into it [13:27] * dusty-sts buys cwillu a pint. [13:27] cwillu: the windows make a nice 3D effect... but I haven't enable any special effect... [13:27] Nibblyn, okay, 2 seconds :p [13:27] please... [13:27] dusty-sts, http://nokia.cwillu.com/xorg.conf [13:28] . [13:28] I men please.. fell free... will wait [13:28] dusty-sts, you'll need to tweak it for your resolutions, but that'll set it just like the new xrandr command does [13:28] . [13:28] Nibblyn, what resolution are you running? [13:28] cwillu, can i just cp it to /etc/X11 and reboot? [13:29] dusty-sts, copy you old xorg first, and then just hit ctrl+alt+backspace when you copy the new one in [13:29] it should work, although it'll be running at 1280x1024 on each screen (assuming you have two) [13:29] cwillu: started with a Vesa (accepted only 1280), switch to Ati (now running 11xx) [13:30] dusty-sts, there's also a glitch on the 9250 where the vga port is disabled on boot if you don't have anything plugged in, in which case you might actually need to reboot, but if you're just using one monitor, that xorg will work (in a weird fashion, as it'll still have the dual screen size) [13:30] Nibblyn, okay, so you're running the restricted driver right now? [13:31] cwillu: no. When I say ATI i always mean Open. No fglrx installed. [13:31] Nibblyn, okay [13:31] cwillu, I cp /etc/X11 and rebooted. what your saying to me is if i plug another card in before it boots up it will activate dual screens, if not i wont? [13:31] s/i/it/ [13:32] dusty-sts, not another card, another monitor on the same card: 9250 should have an svga and a dvi port on it? [13:32] test [13:32] thanks duudii -- i did that, and then it went through the list of files and at the end said "No file to extract." except ... there are files to extract. any idea how to fix that? [13:32] cwillu: and that was my dilemma... I see ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] , driver at in xorg.conf [13:32] Nibblyn, are you running 7.04 or 7.10? [13:32] cwillu, a box appeared saying ubuntu ois running in low graphics mode, your screen and graphics card could not be detected correctly to use higher res vis effects or multiple screens u need to configure the display yourself.. [13:32] Hmm.... I see the /home folder is a network folder. [13:32] cwillu: 7.10 [13:32] Hi, I have some workspaces on the bottom right, but they are 1/2 the size of the normal, but are only "1" row. [13:33] nick threttle [13:33] cwillu, it only gives me 800x600 ? [13:33] cwillu: driver Ati and not Radeon. but, as you said, it won't make the difference [13:33] dusty-sts, okay, you'll probably need to delete the virtual line, and the left/right lines === niskyd is now known as threttle [13:33] dusty-sts, ya, it's confused by the multimonitor sounds like [13:34] Nibblyn, ya, the ati driver picks the radeon driver for that card [13:34] cwillu: hum, that is ok then... [13:34] cwillu, what lines? [13:34] Nibblyn, what happens if you disable composite in xorg.conf and restart x? (the url I gave dusty-sts above has the section you need to do that at the bottom) [13:35] dusty-sts, one sec [13:35] i love the font Purisa xD [13:35] cwillu: give me time to reread please ;P [13:35] dusty-sts, actually, just try deleting the Busid "PCI:2:0:0" line, forgot that was in there :p [13:36] Nibblyn, just ping me when you're ready [13:36] joe__, what's the word? [13:36] Back. Getting a copy of knoppix burned to deal with the messed up computers. [13:36] cwillu: ok, thanks [13:36] I am poking around online looking for documentation on how to manage users. [13:36] joe__, nodma didn't work you said? [13:37] nodma didn't work. I put it after the -- in the boot line. [13:37] should it be before? is that a comment signifier? [13:37] Hello. How can I change the Login Screen for Ubuntu? [13:38] hmmmmmm [13:38] that was annoying [13:38] joe__, how much of that did you get? [13:38] !edubuntu [13:38] Edubuntu is an Ubuntu derivative aimed at schools and educational institutions. For more info, see http://www.edubuntu.org [13:39] How much of the error? [13:39] It goes and goes for 20 minutes. [13:39] cwillu, ok rebooted and it appears to be working but in normal 1024x768 res| [13:39] joe__, that was with nodma? do you know that the cd worked? [13:39] I get .... right up until 'can't access job tty' [13:39] joe__, that was with nodma? do you know that the cd worked? [13:39] cwillu -- I know the CD worked because I get the STart or Install screen but when I put in nodma to the boot instructions, no difference. [13:40] no its doing 1280x1024 but i want 1600x1200 [13:40] joe__, the cd can be bad and still get to the start screen though [13:40] hmm [13:40] Ok, I'll burn another. [13:40] joe__, run the verify cd option, and check that; do it on a known good drive first though [13:40] Ok. [13:40] dusty-sts, one sec [13:41] joe__, http://www.edubuntu.org/Documentation will probably be helpful [13:41] cwillu, when i run xrandr it says maximum res my card can do is 2560x1024 [13:41] lol [13:41] that would be wirrd [13:41] dusty-sts, with a big enough monitor :) [13:41] WHat kind of verification will I get when I test it for defects? [13:41] dusty-sts, that's actually the limit for multiple monitors on the card as well [13:41] cool [13:41] WIll it just continue on afterwards if its ok? [13:41] will multiple monitors work? [13:42] now if i just plug them in? [13:42] joe__, it'll read all the file/packages, and verify they match the checksums [13:42] dusty-sts, sorry, back up a tiny bit ;p [13:42] ;) [13:42] Ok, it doesn't seem to do any of that. It just gave me progress bar for a while and started doing the same thing again. [13:42] *burning latest Knoppix now* =) [13:42] dusty-sts, okay, to set the default resolution, add the resolution you want to the modes lines ("1600x1200@60" should work), and then set the preferred mode to "1600x1200" [13:43] k [13:43] dusty-sts, you're using just the single video card right? [13:43] Hello, after I restored my mysql backup all of my tables are read only. Can anyone help me restore write privileges? [13:43] yes but i have a savage 3d card in there as well but i just want to use my radeon [13:43] willluongo, #mysql might be able to help more [13:43] Hey, is there any way to see what options the kernel was compiled with? [13:43] can i use the radeon for one screen and the savage for the other? cause the radeon only has 1 vgfa and 1 dvi and i aint got a dvi monito [13:44] dusty-sts, ya, just using the single card is preferable, in that acceleration isn't Not Trivial to set up across two cards even if they're identical [13:44] cwillu_:I am asking there as well, it is running on ubuntu server though, so I was hoping someone here had some insight. [13:44] dusty-sts, you can buy a dvi->vgi adapter for about 4-5 dollars [13:44] willluongo, np; I don't know much about mysql though, but keep asking [13:44] (in the sense of, every few minutes, not every few seconds :p) [13:45] hey... how can I fix this... E: Couldn't configure pre-depend python-central for python-apt, probably a dependency cycle. [13:45] ? [13:45] cwillu, ok [13:45] dusty-sts, granted that that doesn't help you today, but it's a much simpler setup (i.e., the config file you have will work, wheras doing two video cards is much trickier) [13:45] cwillu, say i get an adapter plug it on the dvi, plug the monitor in and it will JUST automatically work? [13:45] flacom: while trying to install what? [13:45] is a dist-upgrade [13:46] joe__, let me know how it's going [13:46] Nibblyn, any luck? [13:46] flacom: not from a release to another, i hope [13:46] from feisty to gutsy [13:46] who was having the printer problem? you scrolled off the top of my screen, sorry [13:46] flacom, apt-get dist-upgrade, or update-manager ? [13:46] hey guys.. i notice on adobe that the linux flash install is 9.0.115 and just checking my current version i'm on 9.0.48 which i installed from the deb packages, so is it required to manually rev the installed deb? or should the deb get updated seperately? [13:47] apt-get dist-upgrade [13:47] just i havn't received an update in time [13:47] flacom, that's not the way to upgrade [13:47] flacom, any particular reason you're trying to hose your system? :p [13:47] !upgrade | flacom [13:47] flacom: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [13:47] flacom, I've done it, but it ain't pretty [13:47] :( [13:47] flacom, undo the changes to /etc/apt/sources.list, and then run update-manager, and let it run the distribution upgrade that way [13:48] flacom, it's got scripts to handle the corner cases of the upgrade [13:48] cwillu, hrm it seems to have gone to 1280 again [13:48] im having an issue with font, I've had to chnage my fonts to font siza 64 because they are soooooooo tiny on my monitor and I've set the display to 1024x768 with no effect to the fonts. Anyone know how to fix this? every app and firefox displays text soooo small I cant read it [13:48] Hmm.. that's annoying. Screenlets are almost really good but ultimately just too flakey to use [13:48] dusty-sts, pastebin me what you have for xorg.conf right now [13:48] ok [13:48] !pastebin [13:48] 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) [13:48] k [13:48] Can anyone help? I have to use Thunderbird for mail, but I really miss a notification area or panel new mail notifier, especially when using multiple desktops... I need a biff or mail checker that can work either with IMAP or Maildir++ but it needs to be able to detect mail in any folder as I use maildrop to route mail to folders [13:48] gorilla3d, is it every program, or just firefox? [13:49] cwillu everything [13:49] gorilla3d, where are you setting the font size? [13:49] cwillu, http://pastebin.com/m4dc81f96 [13:49] hu [13:50] cwillu_: the "User Interface" settings [13:50] dusty-sts, my bad: I'm not sure that video card will do dual 1600x1200+any other resolution and still have 3d acceleration. That said, I forgot to tell you to change the Virtual line to match (just set it to 1600x1200) [13:51] dusty-sts, 1600 1200 rather (no x) [13:51] gorilla3d, 7.10 or 7.04?

Latest KDE version is 3.5.8 for Gutsy and Feisty, 3.5.6 for Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information. [13:52] cwillu, what will happen when the other screen bots?

Increase the dots per inch to 102 or so, and see if its better [13:52] cwillu, the tv is going to be my other screen :) === Ballena__ is now known as Ballena [13:52] cwillu, i have a laptop with a radeon x700 running ubuntu, u got xorg for that? :) [13:53] dusty-sts, I haven't run any of the newer radeon's yet; I'm not sure if the radeon driver supports it [13:53] im running using the driver on this comp now [13:53] dusty-sts, if the radeon driver _does_ support it, it'll be basically the same file, just different resolutions to match the monitor [13:53] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X700 (PCIE) [13:54] sweet [13:54] I have an odd problem wiuth it now [13:54] dusty-sts, scrolling around? :p [13:54] cwillu_, when i boot to x its obviously 1600 x 1200, but the screen res gnome program thinks its 640x480 [13:54] lol [13:55] other than that it works [13:55] what ya mean about scrolling? [13:55] my monitor is a 19" dell crt [13:55] dusty-sts, thought you might have been running into a virtual screen size thingy [13:55] its fine to install something like KDE4 alongside with GNOME right? I just choose which one I want to run at session start *login* [13:55] ah [13:55] dusty-sts, I don't think there's much you can do about that; the gnome config doesn't yet understand how radeon's do accelerated multi-head [13:55] tanlaan: yes, only thing is that your gnome menu will be "polluted" with kde apps and vice versa [13:56] cwillu_, so when i want to get it working with two monitors what not i just purely edit the file? [13:56] dusty-sts, which is a nuisance for hot plugging monitors on a laptop for instance, because you _need_ to use xrandr to set it up instead of a nice and easy gui [13:56] yea [13:56] dusty-sts, pretty much; virtual needs to be the total size [13:56] perhaps write to gnome-developers about it [13:56] cwillu_, well thankyou VERY much for your help. [13:56] np [13:56] i'm going to try it on my laptop. [13:57] LJL: Hmm...Maybe I'll grab a live CD of Kubuntu with KDE4, I also need to set up a seperate home partition so I can change installs [13:57] joe__, still hanging in? [13:57] LjL:Thanks for the warning though =] [13:57] cwillu_: hm... its not there is only font rendering options and changing the font size/style [13:57] dusty-sts, do you remember who the last person I was talking to was? the printer guy? he went off the top of my scrollback :( [13:57] Hi, is there a way to change the number of lines and columns in the console (not Konsole!)? i.e. I want to have more text on my screen, using a text-only system (ubuntu server). [13:57] cwillu -- yeah. just looking at the various computers and seeing what's wrong [13:57] One is missing the 'GDM' group. I wonder how that happened? [13:57] Found a few people with the same problem. [13:58] gorilla3d, do you see the rendering thing for monochrome, bestshapes, subpixel smoothing,e tc? [13:58] I am still frustrated as to how to add users to the system. Adding them at client nor server level does anything [13:58] joe__, did you get the doc link I sent? [13:58] cwillu_: anti-ali..., hinting, sub-pixel [13:58] gorilla3d, you see it? [13:58] yeah. [13:59] The only setup I see for thin-client is diskless. And these aren't diskless. [13:59] cwillu_: 14:16 < markvandenborre> I have a postscript printer with a jetdirect module [13:59] gorilla3d, the very top of that window (smoothing, hinting, subpixel order) [13:59] why the hell is ubuntu asking me to download an un-auntheticatable openSSH-client/server? [13:59] cwillu: sorry, lag problems, could you tell me how to check if compiz is enabled?

[14:19] but lets not argue about that =) [14:19] anyway, i can't fdisk it. what do you think? dead? [14:20] joe__: sda is not for sata, sd is any disk device [14:20] joe__: please show me exactly what command your using [14:20] sd used to be scsi ;) [14:20] joe__: hd devices died many kernel release ago [14:20] Savek: used to be [14:20] sudo fdisk /dev/sda/ [14:20] ikonia -- tell that to all other linux distributions =) [14:20] joe__: they all know it and abide by it [14:21] mmm...maybe you've never run anything else.....

[14:22] joe__: please show me the output of blkid [14:22] not you, tacone =) [14:22] joe__: in a pastebin if its long [14:23] tacone: if you can't exclude with permissions - you can't exclude [14:23] its not long. just two /dev/loop0 and loop1 entries. [14:23] joe__: your disk appears dead then, or the controller is not visable [14:23] lookin' like it. [14:23] VSpike: have you checked out mail-notification? [14:23] cool. thanks.

[14:29] Savek: no swap partition will have effects on things like hibernation, memory waste etc [14:29] uname -a [14:29] !version | joe__ [14:29] joe__: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [14:29] joe__, uname -a [14:30] ismertek magyar MUD szervert? [14:30] joe_: after changing /etc/passwd what shuold i do to refresh the situation ? reboot ? === jwd_ is now known as jwd [14:30] joe__: yes, uname -a and also lsb_release -a [14:31] excellent [14:31] tacone -- I believe that isn't neccesary [14:31] s3 should be enough - don't need to-disk [14:31] tacone -- I think you just change the directory, logout and login [14:31] (if you are changing your own home) [14:31] 1 thing. make sure you have permissions on your new home =) [14:31] ok, thx [14:32] what's the quickest way to install multi-domain web and ftp servers? Anything simpler than apache2? [14:32] What's wrong with apache2? =) [14:32] jimcooncat: apache2 is very simple [14:32] jrib: it doesn't seem to be able to check multiple folders :./ [14:33] jimcooncat -- if you want it all working this hour or today, your probably in no luck. But apache is quite simple. The guys at #apache are really helpful, too. [14:33] cwillu_: thanks, deactivated all visual effects... that helped a lot [14:33] FYI - apache has nothing to do with 'ftp servers' [14:33] jimcooncat ^^ [14:33] I just did an "apt-get install openvpn" and it started Openvpn, after the installation. Does "apt-get install" do an "rc-update add" also, so that openvpn will be restarted after each reboot? [14:33] VSpike: yeah, you're right. I assumed you could add more than one mailbox and specify the path but does not seem so [14:34] ok, thanks all. I'll give it a shot. So what for ftp? [14:34] my toolbar is pushed off to the right side of my screen from the top of my screen how can i get it back to the top of my screen [14:34] Hi, I have a question I cant seem to find an answer for.

[14:34] jrib: in some ways, the logical thing might be to have maildrop call a notification tool [14:34] !ftp [14:34] FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd [14:34] joe__: vsftp ? [14:35] jrib: but I'm not sure how it would communicate with a running user session [14:35] yes ikonia [14:35] jimcooncat --> see ikonia's last msg. that's a good one. [14:35] joe__: yes there's a few. I'll check out vsftp, thanks ikonia [14:36] jrib: it's annoying because t-bird scans all folders for new mail, and shows a brief popup, but has no tray icon. Yet t-bird for windows does.

[14:39] ubuntu or just buntu [14:39] hehehe [14:39] ubuntu of course [14:39] @jrib: I didn't mean the gdm or kdm, I mean the splash screen you get when booting [14:40] now i'm on ubuntu, and i want to update this [14:40] @dazza: have you looked at this site: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=140085&page=2 ?

[14:41] hi to all1 [14:41] :D [14:41] beggi, that might be too old to upgrade now, it'd probably be safer and better to backup your /home partition and install a fresh version of 7.10 [14:41] Hi everybody [14:42] Is someone can help me to configure my sound on linux? [14:42] (Kubuntu)... [14:42] And Is someone can tell me how update my KDE? [14:42] corentin: Perhaps go instead to channel #kubuntu instead of this one for assistance :) [14:42] jschitto: why do you know it is not recogniced? does the disk attached there not show up? [14:43] erUSUL: yes the disks do not show up and there is only one entry in lspci [14:43] thanks dgjones, so do I have to format the hard drive? [14:43] the IDE controller on the card shows up in lspci however erUSUL [14:44] thank you joe__, i'm done ! :-) [14:44] beggi, if its the only operating system on the machine, once you've done the backup, you should just be able to let the livecd install and that'll format and clear what you had originally, do you have a seperate /home partition? [14:44] bye ! [14:45] jschitto: humm then you may hve to pass some kind of module parametaer or something... i will report it as a kernel bug in launchpad maybe kernel ubuntu gurus can sched some light on this [14:45] no this ubuntu is with win xp, home is not separate partition [14:45] erUSUL: here is some more information [14:46] cool, tacone =) [14:46] powernowd is throwing errors at boot. Will a simple reinstall fix that? [14:46] tacone -- usermod is also helpful but honestly I just edit /etc/passwd when it comes to things like that.

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) [14:46] Does anyone have a useful answer? [14:47] Curs0r: depends what the errors are [14:47] Curs0r: try? =D [14:47] javaccen: but i gues they are the 4 ports of the onboard controler chip [14:47] Better, still not all the way to useful though. [14:47] beggi, do a backup of your /home, download a 7.10 install cd and boot from that, you'll be able to specify that it uses the partition you've got your old version of ubuntu on and tell to format that, just make sure you'd don't format your windows partition [14:47] erUSUL: take a look please http://pastebin.com/m50f85cc3 [14:47] it looks kinda like 2 controllers [14:47] Curs0r if you are unable to provide useful information, don't expect useful help [14:48] Don't answer the question if you don't know [14:48] there are only 2 onboard sata ports [14:48] Curs0r: how can I know you've not given me any information, apart from a bizzare magic suggestion of a reinstall fix all [14:48] Curs0r: provide information [14:48] You could have led off with "I need more info" [14:49] Curs0r: I answered your question. "Would a reinstall fix that" "I don't see why" [14:49] Curs0r: provide information [14:49] I'll fix it myself. Thanks for nothing asswad [14:49] Curs0r: or ask more accurate question [14:49] ok, thanks dgjones, btw this ubuntu can't access cdrom device to enable this? [14:50] javaccen: can you paste full dmesg ? [14:50] sure erUSUL [14:50] beggi, are you able to download the .iso using windows and then burn it to a cd? and are you able to boot from cd? [14:50] people what is the name of package that can to add many cap pac with aircrack? [14:51] erUSUL: http://pastebin.com/m2d217987 [14:52] there are 4 disks connected [14:52] yes i''m able to, i can boot from cdrom, this ubuntu was installed by me, but 2 years ago :) [14:52] ikonia, do you provide help at all or just rhetorical insights? [14:52] but only the two are showing up [14:53] Curs0r: please relax i am sorry for any offense you have taken [14:54] beggi, if you can do that, that should let you burn the cd in from windows and then get on the way to installing the latest version [14:54] I'm just trying to discern what makes a person sit in a help channel and act like a prick [14:54] !language | Curs0r [14:54] Curs0r: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

The folder "Files" is located in /Files, but I cannot access, and I want to mount it in media also ;) [15:06] BB88: you'll need to change /etc/fstab to make it mount in /media [15:06] Blinkiz: You may find some help here http://sharkysoft.com/tutorials/linuxtips/cdcommands/ [15:06] BB88: and also make the dir in /media [15:06] ikonia, I need to edit the permissions first, or can I do this through fstab? [15:06] directories in /media gets auto created by the mounter [15:06] problems with vlc [15:06] so dont create one if you want to use that one [15:06] mavi-: no, only if it's done through dbus/hal [15:06] i need help with vlc [15:07] yes, if its mounted via the auto mounter [15:07] javaccen: also the sata ports of the pci card are reported as down (ata4 and ata5) so maybe you have to check the various cables (sata power etc) [15:07] oh [15:07] i can't here sound [15:07] missed "auto" in auto mounter in first sentence === hataricus is now known as hataricus-away [15:07] BB88: mount it on /files, change the permissions, then mount it wher you want, or mount it where you want and then change the permissions [15:07] i can't hear sound [15:07] ikonia, I would if I knew how :) [15:07] anyone has tried the new creative ZEN with ubuntu? I'm about to buy one, but I would like to be sure it works. Since it's really recent, there aren't many infos online.. [15:07] erUSUL: sorry there is a 5th IDE disk that I booted off of [15:07] wuts the command for downloading the C header files ? i can't get vmware to install without them [15:07] ikonia, I am in fstab via gedit now, and I am not sure what to do next. [15:08] javaccen: i guess that's hdb? [15:08] erUSUL: i will reseat all of the connectors [15:08] Ximal: 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)' [15:08] tiagoboldt: if you have a laptop you can bring it to the store [15:08] BB88: look at how /files is setup, change that to /media/what_you_want [15:08] what is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running [15:08] kernel? is the question [15:08] genii: Thanks for the link. The author for that page recommends "cdrecord" to burn iso files. Is "cdrecord" the ´one´ cd burning tool? [15:08] I need to know wht the dir would be ? and ok [15:08] erUSUL: yes, the 300GB samsung hdb is the boot disk [15:08] erUSUL: there are also 4 identical 500GB SATA [15:08] Blinkiz: It is the backend for most gui burning apps [15:09] genii: I see. Thanks for that information [15:09] erUSUL : what's the uname -r mean ? [15:09] bye [15:10] uname -r gives you your kernel version [15:11] it still shows it as not being the C header files.. wth ? [15:11] ikonia, I private messaged you. Any ideas? [15:11] Hey all - I'm trying to run Tomboy notes but keep getting the error: "WARNING: Could not scan file: /usr/lib/tomboy/Tomboy.exe" [15:11] BB88: if you want more help, pastebin the whole file. By the way, did you do "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" ? [15:11] BB88: I've not got your message [15:11] Anyone else use Tomboy and have the same problem? [15:11] BB88: is your nick registered ? [15:12] BB88: VSpike had a good call, paste your fstab ina pastebin [15:12] Ok. [15:13] could anyone tell me the directory of the C header files that match the running kernel I a using ? what would be the generic way of finding that folder ? [15:13] Yes, my nick is registered. [15:13] hi [15:13] ikonia, VSpike, http://pastebin.com/m35fb5a16 [15:14] BB88: that looks quite good, what's the error [15:14] BB88: do you want you disk to be mounted in *both* places? If so, you might be better symlinking [15:14] ikonia, There is no error, I just want to change the permissions, and mount it. [15:14] hi, i'm having problems with graphics on my 7.10 system... my graphics card is a radeon 1650 pcie and my monitor is an old em-175... i can't seem to get the drivers in and working [15:14] VSpike, I just want to move the partition to /media/ and mount it, and change the permissions. [15:15] BB88: that seems fine, mount it on /media and change the permissions [15:15] ikonia, I do not know how. [15:15] Twigathy, I had issues with tomboy not loading unless I ran the command from a shell with nohup, but the lastest from -updates fixed it [15:15] Is there a command i Linux to display what groups a specific user is member of? [15:15] BB88 "sudo mount /media/Files" [15:15] apdb: id $user [15:15] apdb: or the gui user manager [15:15] Mez: -updates? I assume you mean a repo I don't have enabled? :) [15:16] ikonia, mount: mount point /media/Files does not exist [15:16] erUSUL: ok i swapped all the cables in case a cable is bad and rebooted [15:16] BB88: I told you to create the directory you wanted to mount it on [15:16] erUSUL: now the dmesg is http://pastebin.com/m130fb0a7 [15:16] Twigathy, yes, gutsy-updates - if you'd care to pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list I can see whether you have that repository available and point you in the correct direction if not [15:16] ikonia, So create /Files/ inside /media ? [15:16] I have just run updates on my 7.10 install, and it tried to upgrade my kdm, which failed. with a dpkg: error processing kdm (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1. I have tried apt-get install -f, apt-get upgrade, apt-get clean but I still get the same error. No other pkg system is running. [15:16] firman [15:16] BB88: yes [15:17] You cannot create folders in media.. [15:17] erUSUL: so unless the card is bad or something it is a bug [15:17] what's the difference between kill and killall === guru is now known as firman [15:17] BB88: use sudo === firman is now known as guru [15:17] Mez: on [15:17] CrashTest_, try a sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get install --reinstall kdm, [15:17] er... [15:18] (without the comma at the end [15:18] Mez: http://pastebin.com/m6ac2e7ea [15:18] ikonia, to create a folder? [15:18] BB88: "sudo mkdir /media/files" [15:18] javaccen: the two ports are still reported as down... dunno why you may want to report it to lunchpad or een the linux-kernel mailing list [15:18] BB88: "sudo mkdir /media/Files" [15:18] lewix: kill works on a single process, killall will kill everything running with a particular name [15:18] It's a bit of a mess, sorry... x_x [15:18] BB88: note the captical F [15:18] Mez: Thanks, same error [15:18] erUSUL: ok thank you [15:18] genii, thanks [15:18] CrashTest_, sorry that didnt hellp [15:19] lewix: np [15:19] Mez: NP, thanks for the try, anyone know of a better way to force a package to install or update? [15:19] ikonia, Ok, but how can I change the permissions so I can actually do stuff with the partition? [15:19] BB88: what is your user name [15:20] ben [15:20] Twigathy, can you pastebin the output of apt-get policy tomboy please? [15:20] is it chown -R ? [15:20] BB88: "sudo chown -R ben:users /media/Files" [15:20] CrashTest_, kdm failing at the configure is a major thing - I'd suspect a corrupt package. [15:20] BB88: then "sudo chmod -R 755 /media/Files" [15:20] Mez: Ok, I will wait for the next update, and try again then [15:21] Mez: http://pastebin.com/m3c468df8 [15:21] CrashTest_, you're trying to update to 7.10 though? [15:21] oh, hm [15:21] * Twigathy wonders why he has gutsy-proposed enabled [15:21] Mez: No, I am already on 7.10, I was just running an update because Update Manager told me to [15:21] hello to everybody. someone know how to forget a configured wlan with network manager in gutsy? [15:21] thanks [15:21] :) [15:21] obreiro, black magic [15:21] obreiro, hang on a bit [15:22] CrashTest_, you might get better help for KDE in #Kubuntu ... [15:22] Thanks [15:22] Can someone tell me if it possible to somehow make logs rotate every 10 minutes? [15:22] I would like to have a new log every 10 minutes. [15:22] obreiro, gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /system/networking/wireless/networks/foo (replace foo with the ssid) [15:22] I use syslog-ng [15:23] Twigathy, might be that, the version I'm running is from security [15:23] Twigathy, try sudo apt-get install tomboy=0.8.0-1ubuntu0.1 [15:23] * Twigathy updates a bit... [15:23] two secs :) [15:23] * genii gives Seveas a black magic award [15:23] ikonia, Still no luck. [15:23] manojloviclMVP, logs for what ? [15:24] BB88: what is the problem [15:24] mez. [15:24] ikonia, I still cannot edit it, and now I have "Files" located in both "/" and "/media" [15:24] I am having trouble installing flash on my Ubuntu, could someone help me? [15:24] I would like to make log from my router but I would like that syslog-ng and logrotate create a new log every 10 minutes. [15:24] !flashissues | afief [15:24] afief: 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. [15:24] Is it possible? [15:24] afief, maybe someone can if you tell us the problems :) [15:24] BB88: you've got a cross mount, show me the output of "mount" in a pastebin please. [15:24] !flashissues | afief [15:24] !flashissues | afief [15:24] !flash | afief [15:24] manojloviclMVP, make the logratate cronjob run every 10 minutes instead of daily [15:25] afief: 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 [15:25] BB88: you have the contents of Files in both places, or just an empty directory in one? [15:25] Mez: I did it like 3 lines before you did. !botabuse ;) [15:25] ikonia, http://pastebin.com/m648f1f2 [15:25] Seveas... The problem is that syslog-ng config does not know how to make a new one every 10 minutes. [15:25] VSpike: he's posting mount, hang one [15:25] !opabuse | Pici [15:25] If I run the procedure manualy it does not create a new log. [15:25] Pici: leave the ops alone ktnxbye [15:25] Mez: different crash now! [15:25] VSpike, It is an empty directory as it is a new hard drive split into two partitions.

[15:25] Twigathy, w00... what crash now [15:25] BB88: sudo umount /files [15:26] BB88: sudo umount /Files [15:26] In the standard UI, is there a way to select a file and edit it in the default editor with SUDO? [15:26] http://pastebin.com/mb3faf0f <-- Mez [15:26] manojloviclMVP, I don't know about syslog-ng but normal syslog needs a SIGHUP after rotating the log, which is what the default logratate config does [15:26] Seveas: ng does too === Kick__ is now known as kikr [15:26] Well... [15:26] I just fired up alpha 3... is pulse audio "in it"? I'd like to set different volume for rhythmbox and firefox.... possible? [15:26] Tracy_P, sadly not. YOu can install nautilus-actions and create such an action [15:27] ikonia, Ok, but I cannot delete the folder. Need to use CHMOD and CHOWN again?

[15:27] ikonia, No. [15:27] !debian | Ax-Ax [15:27] BB88: what does it say ? [15:27] Ax-Ax: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!

[15:28] Seveas: i mean for drinking. [15:28] ikonia, Ok, that is sorted thank you. Now just to remove the older /Files folder? [15:28] mneptok, that too. But definitely for rust removal [15:28] Twigathy, you seem to have removed an addin or something - maybe rm -rf ~/.tomboy [15:29] * mneptok eats a 1949 Mercury [15:29] BB88: sudo rm -rf /Files [15:29] ls [15:29] ls [15:29] * Twigathy backs up his notes first ;) [15:29] ikonia, Ok thank you. How can I make it show up on the desktop, as it normally would as an NTFS FileSystem ?

[15:30] Mez: heh, I'm back to the original error *facedesk* [15:30] ed_: sudo kill -11 $pid [15:30] ed_: or pkill $process [15:30] hi there channel :) [15:30] terminal won't come up for some reason [15:30] ikonia, I'd rather do it manually as I am installing XP on VirtualBox at the moment, if you would be so inclined :) [15:30] Twigathy, which was? [15:30] Seveas very thanks [15:31] ok [15:31] BB88: just wait until your install has finished and reboot [15:31] http://pastebin.com/m5e45d2c5 <-- that one [15:31] ikonia, Heh ok, thank you.

[16:05] punkshui: thanks [16:05] sfears: either your disk is full or you ran out of inodes [16:05] joe__ , ikonia: no problems! apache2 and vsftp got my website up. It's sure gotten easier. [16:05] what's an inode? [16:06] i have space left on the drive [16:06] sfears: look at wikipedia. basically, a file entry [16:06] <^root^> i have a video thats shot inverted, which player should i user and how do i rotated it by 180Deg? [16:09] quick question: i have and sdhc sd card and would like to format it to ntfs. i tried gparted but it will not let me select ntfs. ideas? [16:09] how would i fix something like that? is there a make clean or anything that would help? [16:09] Howdy everyone! I was wondering how I can configure the buttons on my mouse in Ubuntu Gutsy. The system preferences leaves something to be desired. [16:11] and it makes noise when i change desktops? how do i fix that... [16:11] !mouse > vwfanatic, Please see the private message from ubotu [16:11] guess i just change "notifications" to no audio output [16:11] hello, I'm having some problems getting the fglrx driver installed and working [16:12] restricted-manager doesn't seem to do anything, and none of the manual install instructions I've tried have worked [16:14] ikonia: hji there :) [16:14] (deb smb://HOME/cd1/ breezy main) is it OK? [16:14] ikonia: sorry hi [16:14] hi, I am using gnome directly under ubuntu but I want to run it in a vnc session too (always the same machine, ubuntu and tightvnc as vnc server). the problem is that in the VNC sessions all fonts are a bit smaller than on the native X11 screen. any idea why ? [16:14] dury: no problem [16:15] ikonia: there is not basque package for openoffice [16:15] hi, i'm changing contents of sources.list Is it OK to write like this (deb smb://HOME/cd1/ breezy main) [16:16] benno2: what are you using for a vnc client? [16:16] ikonia: I have installed all required packages [16:16] dury: to be honest I thought open office picked up it's language from the OS rather than the app [16:16] jimcooncat: tightvnc viewer [16:16] beggi: no, "smb://" is a gnome/kde thing [16:17] benno2: I wonder if the client has scaling turned on [16:17] with kde4, if i hit alt+f2 and type "konsole", hit enter, i get an error: KDEInit could not launch '/usr/bin/konsole-kde4'. [16:17] ikonia: so what's the solution for that? [16:17] jimcooncat: no. regular stuff. btw could this be my problem ? http://www.realvnc.com/pipermail/vnc-list/2003-May/039190.html [16:17] beggi: you need that samba share to be mounted, and then specify it the correct way, which however i'm not entirely sure about. also, you know that breezy is at end of life, right? [16:17] LjL, how to add samba share in repositories list [16:18] dury: truthfully, no idea. you could either a.) log a launchpad request for a tranlsation package b.) ask in #openoffice if they are aware of a solution [16:18] Hi all. I have a newbie question to ask. When trying to located a folder by using "cd" in terminal, is it not possible to locate a folder with a space in the folder name? for example, I would like to cd to a folder in my Windows partition, I type "cd /media/sda2/Program Files" and it cannot find the folder, because it cannot see the "Files" part of "Program FIles", is there something I need to do when folders have spaces in their names? [16:19] LoneWolf: cd Program\ Files [16:19] thanks [16:19] beggi, you should simply be able to specify the correct directory, e.g. « deb /mnt/sambashare/HOME/cd1/something breezy main ». you need to mount the samba share under /mnt/sambashare (or some other directory), and i doubt that the repository is found at the root of the CD anyway [16:19] Or you can use tab-completion [16:19] benno2: geez, I wouldn't think so. [16:19] hi [16:20] LjL. yes i mounted it and nautilius can open this share, [16:20] LoneWolf: type cd /media/sda2/P[press tab now] this will perform tab completion [16:20] beggi: if nautilus can open it using a "smb://" address, that doesn't mean it's mounted [16:20] benno2: I have good luck with vnc4server, haven't used tightvnc in years [16:20] Ljl, ok I understood [16:20] !smb > beggi (beggi, see the private message from Ubotu) [16:21] delliott ; I see, thanks for the help [16:21] hi if I install something with apt-get can I uninstall it or somehow delete it ? thx [16:21] hi guys, I have a small problem with my gutsy which I could use some help with. [16:21] jimcooncat: you mean with vnc4server you get the same fonts locally and via vnc ? [16:21] !apt > ajitam (ajitam, see the private message from Ubotu) of course [16:21] After a dist-upgrade (I guess) I can no longer mount usb disks [16:21] jimcooncat: is vnc4server = realvnc ? [16:22] they don't mount automatically, and when I attempt to mount them from the mount applet thing I get an error box pop up with no message in it [16:22] <^root^> anyone? [16:22] I can at least mount from the cmdline [16:22] benno2: I seem to. yes, I believe it is realvnc [16:22] jimcooncat: thanks. I always heard that using tightvnc is preferable as it works better and has more encoding options [16:23] LjL, it's .iso image mounted on smb://mnt/cd1 [16:23] LjL, I just want to add to repository list because my cdrom can't be found by OS [16:24] beggi: Is the iso on the same computer that you are mounting from? [16:24] benno2: I believe the vnc4server has tight encoding. Anyway, I have no problem over DSL lines with it (through SSH even). [16:24] beggi, but you need to mount the *samba share*, not the iso. what is "smb://mnt/cd1"? the name of the machine running samba is not "mnt", i assume... [16:24] jimcooncat: I am using it locally, for me the most important requirement is stability, that it does not leak memory over time and does not crash [16:24] Pici, yes it's in my /home directory it's breezy 5.10 iso image [16:25] <^root^> anyone? [16:25] beggi: How are you mounting the iso? [16:25] <^root^> i have a video thats shot inverted, which player should i user and how do i rotated it by 180Deg? [16:25] !anyone | ^root^ [16:25] ^root^: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [16:25] LjL, oh sorry, I typed wrong, my machne name is HOME so smb://HOME/cd1 this is reachable by nautiliuss [16:25] benno2: I've had great stability with it, unlike the Windows vnc server apps. [16:26] beggi: but as i said, nautilus has its own way of reaching samba shares. for apt, you need to actually *mount* the samba share: sudo mount -t cifs /HOME/cd1 /mnt/somedirectory [16:26] erUSUL: im sorry, i needed a jumper for sata 150 mode [16:26] read the tutorial [16:26] Pici, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-mount-iso-image-under-linux.html by this tutorial [16:26] jimcooncat: thanks, giving vnc4server a try. [16:27] benno2: good luck [16:27] beggi, the problem is not mounting the iso image, it's mounting the *samba share of that other machine of yours called HOME* [16:27] hrm, whats the command to install a .deb file you've downloaded [16:27] Symmetria: gdebi [16:28] SLT [16:28] thanks [16:29] beggi: I'm just confused, is the ISO on the same computer that you are trying to modify your sources.list file or no? === StoneApple is now known as StoneNewt [16:29] hi [16:30] is anyone running kde4 yet? [16:30] where is the complete noob help room? [16:30] trying to play a dvd, it looks all screwed up, green blocks, scrambled up? help [16:30] oldude67: yes, you can ask for help with it in #kubuntu [16:30] kam1: You're in the right place (for Ubuntu support at least) [16:31] Pici, was already going there thanks anyways [16:31] ok, I had 64bit xpinstalled, media ctr installed and then put ubuntu on over the 64 bit xp (the trial expired) [16:31] now my media center is gone === andre is now known as a4ndr3c [16:31] Pici, yes computer name is HOME, iso is located in my /home/beggi/ directory [16:31] should i not even bother with it? [16:31] hi I get "XAMPP: Another web server daemon is already running." how can I see witch daemon is running and how do I stop it ? [16:32] beggi: But is that the same computer that you are trying to update your sources.list file on? [16:32] Pici, is it possible to add iso image to sources.list? [16:32] beggi: then why on earth are you using smb to access it, if it's on your local computer? smb (samba) is for accessing *remote* files, files that are *on another computer* [16:32] ajitam: /etc/init.d/ start|stop [16:32] Pice, yes it's same computer [16:33] is gaim included with gutsy? [16:33] beggi: see LjL's response ^ [16:33] kam1: Its called Pidgin now. [16:33] a4ndr3c: thx but how do I found out which daemon I'm dealing with [16:33] kam1: no [16:33] !pidgin > kam1 (kam1, see the private message from Ubotu) [16:33] thanks guys, [16:33] dkf [16:33] kam1: When you were installing Ubuntu, what kind of paritioning did you do? Are you sure that you didnt tell it to use the whole drive? [16:33] i went to the ubuntu community and that was the first thing they said [16:34] after i download a tar.gz file, where should i put it and what do i do with it [16:34] ajitam: cd /etc/init.d then see which daemon u want to stop [16:34] nope. that hd had 2 partitions, and i kept the xp one the same [16:34] i had 64bit windows and media ctr on seperate ones already so [16:34] heatmzzr: a tar.gz file is just a compressed file, like a zip file. It depends what it is and why you downloaded... [16:34] a4ndr3c: thx [16:35] is there any way to play ddo on linux? [16:35] kam1: Whats DDO? [16:35] LjL, because this computer can't find it's cdrom device so i can't use breezy cds. so i'm using iso, also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#head-8a18d4250a1c368b58239ba0d6fcc4e5639fa42f here are 5 rep types. So I thought SMB is suitable for this situation [16:35] pici: libdvdcss [16:35] how do i install live ubuntu support from gnomefiles? [16:35] ajitam: aptitude search "~i~Phttpd" [16:35] dungeons and dragons online, it is an mmorpg [16:36] how do i download a flash video to disk ? e.g http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=6454521153918323669&autoPlay=true&playerMode=embedded [16:36] heatmzzr: Why are you trying to install it from a tar.gz file? [16:36] hi, is there a way to put a line in crontab and make sure that it is run the next time it is turned on if it was turned off at the scheduled time? [16:36] kam1: try install it in wine [16:36] hou hou [16:36] and also does anyone know where to get some cool avant window navigator curve themes [16:36] i havent even found wine yet [16:36] !wine | kam1 [16:36] kam1: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [16:36] kam1: apt-get install wine [16:37] ok [16:37] the kam1 to find wine install automatix [16:37] MrKeuner: what would turn off cron ? [16:37] !automatix | dka7414 [16:37] dka7414: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [16:37] it is a option [16:37] got that it is low on the priority checklist though [16:37] beggi: SMB has nothing to do with this situation. samba is *only* useful when *two* machines are involved. here, you simply need to *mount* the iso, and that's it. mount it, and then try « sudo apt-cdrom -d /path/to/where/it/is/mounted add" [16:37] well ive tried all i can think of and the dvd starts up now but only through previews then it gets all choppy and crappy looking during movie or errorss out? [16:37] diepes: not anacron the system [16:37] true but it is an option if you have problems i had masive problems installing wine [16:37] is the dvd scratched? [16:37] LjL, ok I will try this [16:38] dka7414: No, its is not an option and is NOT supported here. === skit is now known as Skitt [16:38] dka7414, wine is easy to install via synaptic or apt-get [16:38] does xine use the same codecs as mplayer? [16:38] you get that pici? [16:38] why is it so unsupported tell me for future reference [16:38] is there any known problems with the newest NVIDIA drivers? [16:38] hi, i'm on dapper and when I unplug the AC power to my laptop it automatically locks the screen. how can i stop this? [16:38] amiralul, check the forums [16:38] !medibuntu | heatmzzr [16:38] how long has flash been broken? [16:38] because i activated all the repositories necessary and had problems [16:39] mark2007: do u mean locks the session? [16:39] kam1, a bit [16:39] and does that usually take care of itself in a reasonable amt of time? [16:39] MrKeuner what are you trying to accomplish with cron? [16:39] dka7414, have a look at the link in ubotu's message, that explains the problems with automatix [16:39] heatmzzr: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [16:39] thanx [16:39] heatmzzr: Yes, I got it, Use medibuntu to install libdvdcss. [16:39] I booted normal my UBuntu LiveDVD and X server was serving me a scrambled. Also, installing the latest NVIDIA on my Slackware box, also caused X to act weird [16:39] a4ndr3c, yeh the same as Ctrl+Alt+L [16:39] kam1 check the !flash trigger (type !flash > kam1 ) [16:39] it is possible/safe to resize (shrink) ntfs partitions using the 7.10 install disc? [16:39] beggi: uhm, apt-cdrom will probably not work though... i'm afraid it will know that it's not really a cd, unless you list it in /etc/fstab [16:39] LjL, Pici it's working thank you very much [16:39] th0r: I would like to put a line so that it will run an rsync command every night or the next time it is turned on [16:39] mark2007: log off then [16:39] ali1234: it's possible, never safe [16:40] !flash > kam1 [16:40] beggi: thank LjL, I didnt do much for you [16:40] ali1234, with data on it, and not lose any ? [16:40] mark2007: do u use gnome as desktop manager? [16:40] a4ndr3c, yes [16:40] kam1 listen to what they said they were right sorry [16:40] yeah, obviously with data on it :/ [16:40] my gcc is not generating an output file [16:40] what's wrong?? [16:40] ali1234: Make sure the filesystem is marked clean before resizing. eg: run chkdsk on it from within windows [16:40] dka7414, East Coaster? [16:40] midwest [16:40] cool thanks again [16:40] ali1234: it's still possible, but it's really always unsafe to resize a partition. you should have a backup [16:40] LjL, I think it's working, new versions are showing in synaptec package manager [16:41] ikonia: is it possible to install this => OOo_2.2.1_LinuxX86_install_eu_deb.tar.gz [16:41] how can i gety my usb web cam working again? [16:41] MrKeuner cron is what you want for nightly ops, but it won' t automatically run when turned on. What i would do is put the rsync in a script that writes the date to a file...just the date...then write another script that is run at login, reads that file, and if the date is different runs the rsync [16:41] but i mean, obviously it's never going to be 100% safe. but is it even worth trying, or is it guaranteed to completely destroy the partition? [16:41] beggi: well i thought it wouldn't, but if it does, good [16:41] kam1, working "again"? when did it sotp working? [16:41] can anyone give a good link to help me with how to install ubuntu live support from gnome files [16:41] how can i stop a laptop from locking the screen when the ac power is unplugged? [16:41] hello, do u know maybe how to connect router ?? [16:41] hehe [16:41] ali1234, it will destroy all your info on that partition [16:41] mark2007: go to administration settings i think [16:41] mark2007, that's not standard behaviour [16:41] does everyone have compiz fusion and avant window navigator in here [16:42] dka7414: What is 'ubuntu live support from gnomefiles'? [16:42] ali1234, it's done by default by the installer if it detects a Windows partition covering the whole drive and you don't instruct it otherwise, so it's generally "safe" [16:42] mark2007: can you then unlockit again [16:42] mark2007: power configurations [16:42] it stopped when i lost windows, so never since installing ubuntu [16:42] check out gnome files on the web [16:42] th0r: I see so anacron cannot do that for me [16:42] so.. new question: how do I get a web cam working ? [16:42] dka7414: CAn you provide me with a link? [16:42] !webcame | kam1 [16:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about webcame - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [16:42] diepes, yes, it's just gnome screen lock. it's just a little irritating [16:42] yea hold on [16:42] !webcam | kam1 [16:42] kam1: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [16:42] so, no one noticed any NVIDIA hicups lately? [16:42] !webcam [16:42] MrKeuner I am not familiar with anacron...give me a sec [16:42] a4ndr3c, theres nothing related to it in the power settings [16:42] LjL: oh really... well that's good enough for me [16:42] kam1: just look at what ubotu said. [16:42] !webcam > kam1 (kam1, see the private message from Ubotu) [16:43] !webcam | kam1 [16:43] hey guys [16:43] sigh [16:43] just go to www.gnomefiles.com [16:43] mark2007: humm damn.. when u close your laptop lid it logoff too? [16:43] it is a site with packages for gnome [16:43] dka7414: I dont know what you mean by 'ubuntu live support'... [16:43] LjL, it's ok, now i'm going to update to breezy :D [16:43] how can I keep X from starting automatically? I.e., how do i configure things such that i need to type "startx" to start X? [16:43] does xine use the same codecs as mplayer? [16:43] MrKeuner you know...it does look like it will do what you want. I will have to look into that further...learn something new every day . Thanks [16:43] a4ndr3c, all other power stuff is fine, it's just when i unplug the power that it's not how i want [16:43] beggi: you're going to upgrade to a way out-of-date version... if you're happy with that :) [16:44] egc: uninstall gdm or kdm [16:44] Pici go to gnomefiles.com and it is one of the first packages available [16:44] diods are blinking (in modem and in router) but internet doesn't work :/ [16:44] roald_: maybe, some of them atleast. you can configure xineand mplayer to use different directories for codecs [16:44] compiz and avant window navigator is awesome [16:44] dka7414: What am I looking for? [16:44] a4ndr3c: and I'll still be able to type "startx"? [16:44] ubuntu live support [16:45] under chat clients [16:45] how to do mass rename on command line? mv doesn't seem to work [16:45] !offtopic | dka7414 [16:45] dka7414: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [16:45] MrKeuner I just discovered....my ubuntu server has anacron...my suse laptop never heard of it! [16:45] jimcooncat: man rename [16:45] LjL, yeah i know then to dapper, edgy, feisty , gutsy like this way [16:45] hi [16:45] PriceChild: Hes asking how to install a package. [16:45] please explain more [16:46] how do i get those [16:46] LjL ok, I tried but had syntax wrong. thanks [16:46] dka7414, read ubotu's message [16:46] beggi, actually you'd be probably better off reinstalling gutsy from scratch, than going through all those updates... however, that might be hard to achieve without a cd drive [16:46] !who | dka7414 [16:46] dka7414: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:46] mark2007: corse, that's very strange.. it always worked like that in your computer or starts with no reason? [16:46] :) [16:46] how to start firefrox only by type in contl and f ?`??? [16:46] a4ndr3c: can I remove daemon from init.d (so that it doesn't start with next reboot) [16:46] ubotu= thanx [16:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about thanx - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [16:47] !thanx is thanks [16:47] I'll remember that, LjL [16:47] is there a tool for recovering files from a ntfs partition that was on this hard drive before this ubuntu one? [16:47] egc: i think u need to configure X to load the desktop manager u want, but for default in ubuntu when u tyoe startx it load gnome [16:47] hello, I have a problem with java, I have the mozilla plugin 1.4 installed from the repos and the sun java webstart 6 and the sun java 5.0 plugin and the sun java runtime enviroment 6 and i still can't play games at yahoo! and it gives me this error message "This game cannot be played using your current settings. " [16:47] any help on install .bin files [16:47] a4ndr3c, i've only just installed dapper today on this laptop, and it does it everytime i unplug [16:47] th0r: thank you very much, I'll be reading it further too [16:47] dka, mabye youve to comile the code [16:47] I mean sun java enviroment 5 sorry [16:47] Skiessl: there are tools, but most are DOS or Windows tools. and if the partition was *overwritten* by the ubuntu one, your chances are extremely low. [16:47] dka7414, what is inside it? [16:48] MrKeuner I am reading the man page off my server. It does look like exactly what you want...and something good for my toolbox also [16:48] mark2007: try upgrading to edgy... im not seeing why that is happning... :( [16:48] white_eagle: did you apt-get install them? Did Firefox do it? [16:48] KEBA when i go to ./configure it wont it says there is no package of that kind [16:48] i apt-get installed them [16:48] ok i was recently told on this channel to install grub to my restore partition.. .i've also read on forums that this action permanently disables the ability to restore windows on dell computers can anyone clear this up for me.. there is no installation disc for windows with this computer and i want to be able to restore factory settings in the future. [16:48] how old is the time? [16:48] a4ndr3c: i see what you're saying; what i'd like is for no window manager to start up automatically. I'd like a text terminal to be default [16:48] I'm trying to install realplayer [16:48] Is it possible to install this => OOo_2.2.1_LinuxX86_install_eu_deb.tar.gz [16:48] white_eagle: ok, I did the same. I am looking to see if mine work (I have used them on other sites) [16:48] a4ndr3c, i had to downgrade to dapper to enable wireless on this adapter, for some reason it wouldn't work in newer versions of ubuntu [16:48] dka7414, what is inside it?

It stopped working two ubuntu releases ago. It just errors and says it can't find the framebuffer. I can't blame it though - cause it appears that there is no framebuffer in dev ...

[16:57] dury: you're on gutsy [16:57] dury, you need only have told us one line of that (ie 7.10 or gutsy) [16:57] a4ndr3c, vmplayer is free ? I hate closed source products ...

[17:02] Pici okay, so I don't have to worry about boot records etc... on forums they mention having to install something in the boot.ini file on the restore partition in order to boot ubuntu... [17:02] babo: damn... I can e-mail u a win xp vm if u want [17:03] a4ndr3c, nah it's ok cheers .. [17:03] tried all, totem movie player, gxine...

[17:03] could there be conflicting software pici? [17:03] nvidia+compiz frequently hangs when i have maximized or fullscreen windows - is that something common or rings a bell to anyone?

Its very simple to create vms there [17:03] Pici: well alright, i'll just give it a shot... thanks again [17:03] babo: what does that mean, x-mode and vga? [17:04] you mean run the host full screen?

[17:04] lousygarua_: I know it doesn't like it when I have a fullscreen game running [17:04] pici: yes [17:04] i mean guest [17:04] ali1234, hmm dunno - someone suggested that i run qemu in x-mode cause it couldn't find any framebuffer on ubuntu ... I'm wondering whether or not i can run x-mode simultaneously ... [17:05] Gate_Laptop: yes but does it ever hang or dies? i couldn't even ctrl+alt+f1 so i have to use the magical-debian-keystrokes to reboot [17:05] idziemy na piwo? [17:05] babo: simultaneously with what? [17:05] do i need to take it off pici? [17:05] heatmzzr: Do you have issues with all dvds or just this one? [17:05] heatmzzr: no, dont take it off. [17:05] ali1234, normal mode ... [17:05] lousygarua_: I have had that happen in other circumstances, but not with compiz running and not correlated to fullscreen games, so sorry :( [17:05] framebuffer mode [17:05] babo: x mode is normal mode [17:06] lousygarua_: I mean fullscreen programs :) [17:06] havent tried any others except rush hour 3, all i have with me [17:06] babo: framebuffer graphics are almost never used these days [17:06] ali1234, hmm maybe I was thinking of mode X ? [17:06] Gate_Laptop: k thanks, i'll try updateing to latest compiz i guess [17:06] heatmzzr: I'm stumped, you could try asking the rest of the channel though [17:07] w 2008 mój komputer zaczal sie dziwnie zachowywac normalnie runing ubuntu i tak ucieka i skacze i fruwa i Bóg wie co jeszcze no i nie wiem co mam z TYM zrobić 6.06. no problem ale to to już jest normalnie crash [17:07] ali1234, how can i run qemu in x-mode ?

I used Wubi to install it from my XP partition, and it looks to have installed correctly, but when I select Ubuntu from my boot options, it locks up. [17:29] I'm using pidgin on Ubuntu/KDE, but pidgin has a "big" icon for the panel. Sometimes pidgin makes this a small icon like all the other icons in my panel, but i don't know, how to enforce this. Anyone an idea? [17:29] ali1234, vnc ? isn't that the remote computing tool ? [17:29] babo: yes [17:29] babo: it will export the guest OS display as a vnc session [17:30] ali1234, what should I use for vnc display ? [17:30] babo: probably :1 [17:31] i've got a problem with Ubuntu 7.10. I have a Cmedia soundcard and Pnp audio device (integrated chipset). I have sound on totem or rythmbox but nothing on mplayer in command line or vlc or streaming video..And i want music on mplayer :S Who can help me please? I have tested lots of things that i found on google but nothing worked :S [17:31] ali1234, k - it seems to be taking it's time ... [17:31] babo: you wont get any display until you run a vnc client and connect [17:31] babo: vncviewer :1 [17:32] ali1234, vncviewer: unable to open display "" [17:32] vncviewer :1 [17:33] ali1234, nope. it won't connect there either ... [17:33] can anyone suggest why my video play back is luminous? (Intel 945GM Express chipset, latest intel drivers) [17:33] vncviewer localhost:1 [17:33] or just "vncviewer" [17:33] ali1234, same issue :-( [17:34] babo: are you running these programs as root or something like that? [17:34] ali1234, which programs ? vnc ? no [17:34] babo: anything [17:34] ali1234, i don't run things as root unless i have to ... ( so no ) [17:35] ali1234, I tried opening vncviewer with sudo but still the same issue ... [17:35] 1235 people in here and no suggestions? [17:35] babo: what that error means is that you dont have permission to open windows on your desktop. it should not happen [17:35] Sorry, I'm too new to Ubuntu and Linux in general to be of much use. [17:36] Me too! [17:36] Least you got it installed ^^ [17:36] lol [17:36] 2nd time lucky [17:36] ali1234, DISPLAY= [17:36] in my env === QaDeS_ is now known as QaDeS [17:37] babo: dont mess with DISPLAY it is set automatically [17:37] ali1234, i'll open vncviewer as root then...

[17:40] k [17:40] i've got a problem with Ubuntu 7.10. I have a Cmedia soundcard and Pnp audio device (integrated chipset). I have sound on totem or rythmbox but nothing on mplayer in command line or vlc or streaming video..And i want music on mplayer :S Who can help me please? I have tested lots of things that i found on google but nothing worked :S [17:41] tim167: load ide_core, and then once it boots add ide_core to /etc/modules [17:41] ali1234, cool - that seems to be working dude cheers :-) [17:41] babo: ok - next try 'DISPLAY=:0 qemu c.img' [17:42] and then try to figure out what you have done to mess up DISPLAY [17:42] brobostigon is load ide_core a command ? or is it modprobe ?

[17:44] babo: DISPLAY is a very important variable that controls which display windows open on. if it is blank, then things like SDL will assume there is not X server running and try to fall back to framebuffer. DISPLAY should be set automatically unless you override it, which is almost always a bad idea [17:44] i'm trying to install ubuntu PPC, get this prompt (initramfs), i did modprobe ide_core, got no complaints so i guess it worked...how do i install now ? [17:45] ali1234, I don't override it, but I've had problems with it before ... [17:45] ali1234, I should probably set it in .bashrc ... [17:45] :0 is the first tty right ? [17:46] hi [17:46] babo: no. :0 is the first X display. but you shouldn;t set it yourself. you should allow the X stuff to handle it for you [17:46] Odd-rationale: Under advanced [17:46] alguien que hable español [17:47] Odd-rationale: actions.. rotate cube [17:47] babo: that way things like X forwarding over ssh will actually work properly [17:47] Jack_Sparrow: Advanced?

(dmesg doesn't say it) [18:02] risjh: boot into windows and run chkdisk and defrag a few times [18:03] ikonia: i did all that [18:03] Patogen: you can't [18:03] risjh: I'd do it again [18:03] ikonia: i did chkdsk /f /r a few times too [18:03] ikonia: Ehm are you sure? [18:03] ikonia: i have done defrag and ckhdsk about 3 times now [18:03] you think i should do it more times? [18:03] Patogen yes, there is no journaling [18:04] ikonia: But there are windows softwares that can recover files? [18:04] in you all's experience what is the best ubuntu compatible firewall? [18:04] Patogen nothing in ubuntu then [18:04] viking iptables [18:04] ikonia: ? [18:04] hmm ok [18:04] thanks ikonia [18:04] risjh what [18:04] ikonia: i already did chkdsk and defrag about 3 times, should i do it more? [18:05] hibernate.log also doensn't say anything. it just comes back :/ [18:05] risjh: your using gparted yes ? [18:05] ikonia: yes [18:05] risjh if it's complaining about the --bad-sectors flag your disk may be damaged or the file system is damaged [18:05] Morning guys!

[18:06] Hello, does ubuntu server 6.06 need to run a firewall or is it secure by its self?

[18:07] risjh: you can't [18:07] risjh: if the disk is damaged, the disk is damaged [18:07] hm, how to "install" gscore? it seems to be written in ruby O_o? [18:07] ikonia: :( [18:07] ikonia: no way i can resize it? [18:07] gracias [18:07] ok: fix is: edit /etc/uswsusp.conf to the according swap partition .. [18:08] Strange problem: I try to start Firefox, and it tells me that Firefox is already running. I alt-tab, and the only application I see is Xchat; if I try to run something through Wine, nothing displays, but the application is clearly running. Anybody got any ideas on what might be wrong? [18:08] risjh: I didn't say that [18:08] risjh: please listen [18:08] gnurph69: killall firefox-bin [18:08] gnurph69: pkill firefox-bin [18:08] ^^ [18:08] Tilllinux: whats pkill ? [18:08] just know skill from openbsd [18:08] process kill... [18:08] Ikonia: what is recommended? I know it has IP table installed by default but is it setup to do a blanked protection and only open ports services I'm running or is it empty by default? [18:08] risjh: ubuntu is complaining that it wants to use the --bad-sectors option, this is noramlly because either a.) the disk has errors b.) the file system has errors the guys in ##windows can explain how to verify your hard disk physical state and file system state [18:09] figginator: it's disabled by default [18:09] i get GRUB error 18, what can i do ? [18:09] I can kill the process - but if I restart firefox, I have the same problem. it's as if firefox (and other apps) just can't display [18:09] ikonia: oh k [18:09] ikonia: can i somehow use the --bad-sectors option and parition? [18:09] is iptables the best way to protect my self or should I run something else like shorewall through webmin? [18:09] guys when i plug in my external hard drive to my usb port it issues a ton of error 110 messages to dmesg and refuses to work.. any ideas? i got it working for a while by adding in noacpi to the boot command line, but it eventually crashed again [18:10] gnurph69: also there may be a "lock" and ".parentlock" file in your profile folder ~/.mozilla/firefox/... [18:11] Does anyone here know of an irc channel/forum for tftpd32? The one off Jounin's site isn't working. [18:11] okay, now Firefox works... [18:12] but my other applications have the same problem. [18:12] any similar suggestions? I'm running uTorrent in Wine. [18:12] ikania: Is iptables the best way to protect my self or should I run something else like shorewall through webmin? [18:12] all of a sudden my keyboard seems to have lost all modifiers... shift o does not cause a capital o to be printed... ctrl s does not cause a save event... anybody seen this before? [18:13] another question: I recently *tried* to install suse, but that didn't work and instead killed all my mbrs; I recreated them with supergrubdisk (and i also had to change the ermm ntfs header(? cylinders?)) [18:13] Tilllinux: Whats the question there? [18:14] just a second ^^ [18:14] my problem is following: i had to add my external to fstab (/dev/sdb1 /media/TILLEX ntfs-3g defaults,locale=de_DE.UTF-8 0 0) as ubuntu is installed onto the same external device [18:14] (so it is indeed static) [18:14] however, everytime I plug in an usb device, just nothing happens [18:15] Tilllinux: What do you mean 'static'? [18:15] DVD playback in ubuntu sucks. I still cant get ti to work. [18:15] I would not have put it in fstab, if it weren't "static" [18:15] heatmzzr: have your tried VLC? [18:16] cant get any program to work, installed libdvdcss2 but all it will play is the previews [18:16] I'm wondering, why there is an entry in mtab (/dev/sda1 /media/TILLEX fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0) which wasn't there before I think ^^ [18:16] hi all. im getting "cannot mount volume" when trying to access my windows hard drive, whats going wrong? [18:16] My roommate and I are having some issues trying to install the nvidia drivers, does anyone know of any documentation relating to installing the nvidia drivers [18:17] I googled it but all the articles were lacking info [18:17] rinaldi_: you probably didn't unmount windows correctly (like, just pressing the power button while booting ;D) [18:18] rinaldi: what windows version (Vista or XP)?

[18:29] i think it will shutdown by what i have given [18:30] lets see [18:30] ok bye [18:30] thanks [18:30] testNode: Ah.. I understand. Well, you can boot the live cd, mount the hard-drive, then use dd and some random switch. [18:30] ArthurArchnix: from a cd [18:30] dd? [18:31] testNode: Looking for a link... can you boot the live and mount the disk? [18:31] ArthurArchnix: yes I can boot from cd and mount the disk [18:32] ArthurArchnix: You cant use dd or gparted or whatever else you want to use while the disk is mounted. [18:32] testNode: gparted can format iirc. [18:32] Hi people, on gnome-look.org I can choose between GTK 1.x and GTK 2.x. Which one does Ubuntu use? [18:33] Pici: yes but gparted does not do overwrite with random bits and the miilitary wipe.... what will do that? [18:33] testNode: Ok.. go here and look at number 3. It tells you how to fill the disk with random data. There's a quick way and a slow way. More and less secure. For even more control and better options you can use dban. http://www.hermann-uwe.de/blog/howto-disk-encryption-with-dm-crypt-luks-and-debian === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo === bwlang_ is now known as bwlang [18:35] ArthurArchnix: thanks [18:36] Jadd76: Ubuntu will use both gtk 1 and 2 fine i think [18:37] My friend gave me a damaged dvd that he can't read under windows.

[18:37] Bakefy: Can you boot other cd's or dvd's? [18:37] ArthurArchnix: Can you mount the disk in ubuntu or does it give you I/O errors? [18:37] Bakefy: be more descriptive, what part fails [18:37] hello [18:37] hi [18:37] Bakefy: the alternate cd will sometimes work when the livecd chokes; what are your system specs, esp ram and cpu [18:38] Hello everybody, UbuntuForums is down at the moment, does anybody know what is happening? [18:38] Clearzen: It mounts without problem. I get file errors when I try and copy the files over. Only about 5% of the pictures are read. [18:38] arthurArchnix, I have booted, even installed linux on this computer before, I added two 500 GB hard drives, now it fails.. [18:38] how does one "move your boot partition to the front" ? thanks [18:38] this isnt hungarian chat room? [18:38] ArthurArchnix: try using the dd command to image the entire disk and go from there [18:38] dark_: thanks [18:38] Clearzen.. will manpage that. Thanks for the recommendation. [18:38] Pensador: They seem to be working from here.

Good idea. [18:39] bazhang *, 1.1 Ghrz AMD 512 Ram, 16 MB graphics, trying to install server on an older BIOS. no luck [18:39] Pici: Thanks... I'm refreshing the page over and over and nothing. All other websites I usually use are working [18:40] Bakefy: where does it fail? [18:40] Bakefy... when you added those discs you may have switched around some of your cables. Have you confirmed that your bios is set to boot from the cd rom first? [18:40] how can I change the default group of a user? [18:40] Bakefy: those old bios are supporting those large drives? [18:40] adduser? [18:40] i've got a problem with Ubuntu 7.10. I have a Cmedia soundcard and Pnp audio device (integrated chipset). I have sound on totem or rythmbox but nothing on mplayer in command line or vlc or streaming video..And i want music on mplayer :S Who can help me please? I have tested lots of things that i found on google but nothing worked :S [18:41] useradd for a new user account riaal [18:42] bazhang, I can install easily, yes, it does boot the live cd, just fails to make it to the gui arthurARchnix, It usually fails after i install it (with no problems) first it failed on Grub 18 error. [18:42] usermod would modify the user's account [18:42] bazhang, then I created a small /boot partion, and it got past that error. [18:43] bazhang, now it fails just after grup. [18:43] Is there a "kubuntu-desktop" like package for kde4? [18:43] Bakefy: after you added the hdd's? [18:43] kde4-core iirc Azzmodan [18:43] Bakefy: Error 18 means your bios doesn't support a cylinder size that large (eg your hard drive is to large for the bios) have you tryed updated your bios? [18:43] bazhang, yes, it had a 40 GB in there before, worked fine. [18:44] Thanks, ArthurArchnix [18:44] Bakefy: the bios allows for those drives? Jack_Sparrow suggested that earlier.. [18:44] clearzen, yeah, I read that too... the last updated I found for my bios is 2001... I think I am up to date... Ill check real quick though [18:45] bazhang, there's a gnome-core and a kde4base, but they're just the gnome/kde base packages. I was interrested in a desktop enviroment like ubuntu-desktop (default ubuntu install) and kubuntu-desktop and such [18:45] How can I change the default group for a user? [18:45] Micc: Np [18:45] bazhang, Jack_Sparrow, it sees the drives, when it installs it allows me to partition them... it lets me attempt to boot off them... I dont know anything past that. [18:45] riaal, usermod? [18:45] Azzmodan: well the folks in #kubuntu say that kde4-core will pull in the other packages--best make sure with them :} [18:46] bazhang, yeah it'll pull in kde4 proper, but I want an "ubuntu" enviroment instead of a plain kde4 if you know what I mean [18:47] But I'll check #kubuntu :) [18:47] Azzmodan: best to be safe ;} [18:47] i hope i'm not being silly when I ask this, but can I "install openvpn" without worrying about downloading stuff? I'm SSH'ed into my ubuntu box and have never installed things from the commandline. [18:47] riaal: yeah do a man usermod and have a look.. you'll have to do something with the -G/g switch [18:47] Bakefy: I still suspect that is the problem... [18:48] Aeleon, apt-get install openvpn [18:48] hooray, thank you! [18:48] Aeleon, that'll download and install everything you need [18:48] http://www.ss64.com/bash/usermod.html riaal [18:48] * Aeleon HUGS YOUU~ [18:48] Jack_Sparrow, it would make some since. do I have any way of testing this? [18:48] Aeleon, you might need to use "sudo apt-get install openvpn" if you're not logged in as root [18:49] Right, I figured. :D [18:49] Bakefy: You have two 500GB disks not setup in a raid format? [18:49] Bakefy: I am busy with tother things, there are some tools you can get from the drive mfg that may help... they make the drive appear to have 1024 cyl max etc [18:50] arthurarchnix, right no raid for this PC. [18:50] ArthurArchnix: Good point to check [18:50] Tilllinux: you answered earlier to the mount problems, yes it was that problem but i can't boot windows, used the force command in terminal and worked. however my friend over the phone is having the same problem but is using the live cd to backup his documents. however when he uses sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/disk -o force he gets an error " failed to write lock" [18:51] hello! [18:51] hi all [18:51] Bakefy: I'm not sure how you're trying to partion the disks, but have you tried unplugging one disk and installing with only one 500GB disk plugged in? [18:51] o/ [18:52] anyone can help me ? i want to make my right mouse click look like this : http://news.softpedia.com/images/reviews/large/nubuntu-large_028.png [18:52] how can i install kde 4 in kubuntu... its just come out n i really want it [18:52] ArthurArchnix, I have not tried that. but I just find it strange that I can't even get the thing to go into Live mode, when it used to... it almost makes it, it just fails then stays at command prompt [18:52] looks like tillinux is gone anyone have any ideas about by message above at 18:50:53? [18:53] hello all [18:53] Bakefy: Sorry... I misunderstood the problem. I thought you could install the system then it failed to boot.

[18:54] don't ask to ask van dyke , just ask [18:54] stothepizzle: You will have better luck in #Kubuntu or #KDE [18:54] Bakefy: There's a few things that cause most install problems... 1. Check the cd for errors rather than boot, 2. Check memory for errors, rather than boot. 3. If both those work, try the alternate scd. [18:54] kk [18:54] ArthurArchnix, If I do a text install, it will go through perfectly [18:54] /leave [18:54] "error during the connection to database" [18:54] i get that when trying to start gnome-rdp [18:55] I can't get usermod to change the default group with usermod -g user group [18:55] I've got ubuntu on a pendrive, need to boot it, but usb boot is not an option [18:55] anyone has an idea hos i would have to do it ?

[18:58] urgent help required here! I've just connected a NAS for the first time ever to my router and can't see it in ubuntu. HOw do I get stuff onto it???? [18:59] do i have to ftp (surely not!) [18:59] keit1: What IP is it on? [18:59] i experience slow file copy with my ubuntu 7.10 laptop as i copy files from one partition to another and to an external usb device. any suggestions? [19:00] keit1: what kinf of nas? [19:00] also try connect over http to its ip address [19:00] HI! Someone using Ekiga? Is there another more appropriate channel to ask? [19:00] standard nas drive we use at work for a sonos unit [19:00] can someone help me with this: gnome-rdp gives an error : "error during the connection to database" [19:00] presume it's on the same ip as my xobx from which i stole the ethernet cable! [19:01] keit1: Most of them these days are embedded linux boxes running samba. WD, etc as example. So if you use an smb client and go to the ip should work [19:01] its buffalo [19:01] hfs file system i think too (is this ok?) === Monobi_ is now known as Monobi [19:01] it works with sonos home wifi hifi system [19:01] (that uses linux for os too) [19:02] keit1: Thats not how dhcp works, its probably not on the same IP as the last device connected to that port. [19:02] do I NEED samba?! [19:02] keit1: I'm not familiar with that particular model. It is mac oriented? (hfs filesystem) [19:02] hi can sb help me with sonypi im desperate [19:02] how do I check [19:02] keit1: This isnt really even an Ubuntu question at this point.

[19:03] if i go get it and connect via usb i can make this work though wtf is the point of a nas drive in that case?! lol [19:03] keit1: I think you need to look up the docs on your nas unit first to see what kind of access it supports... samba, nfs, iscssi or so on [19:03] it is hfs I think [19:03] runa: could you be more precise? sb? [19:03] I don't have them [19:03] this is a drive from work I'm borrowing to put music on [19:03] keit1, system>administration>shared folders .. it will prompt to install samba and nfs, if they arent installed [19:04] would like to know how to get it working thats all [19:04] XLV: ty ;) [19:04] keit1: Please read what I said above. How can we tell you what way to access the drive if you can't tell us if it uses samba, or nfs, or so on? [19:04] keit1, then you need to set it up.. [19:04] does hfs work by default in ubuntu? [19:04] i dont know how to make work sonypi [19:04] keit1: We dont know, you need to figure out what it works/supports etc before we can help you, and then its only limited to getting it setup in Ubuntu. [19:04] !samba | keit1 [19:04] keit1: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[19:19] DRebellion .... i have no idea .... it might be reading files from my harddrive not the CD .... [19:19] no? how is that? [19:19] IndyGunFreak: configure which?

[19:21] cal-mac: thats an old card, you don't need envy to install the driver for that. [19:22] IndyGunFreak: the restricted package manager shows that the proprietary driver is installed and in use, but i can't get screen resolution higher than 800x600 [19:22] hello [19:22] whabo: it'll be copy protected if its a genuine windows disk. i wouldn't bother.

[19:36] i need help with nvidia and compiz [19:37] maybe its just the look of it [19:37] its so boring to me [19:37] i suppose i could spice it up [19:37] siriusnova: they're both good, but you'll like one over the other eventually [19:37] ubuntu-it [19:37] jimcooncat - i don't that's the problem, i like how CentOS has gui tools for everything, but ubuntu is easier as a desktop [19:38] ubuntu 7.10 installed ccsm downloaded driver from nvidia it works fine i have problem when i run ccsm [19:38] Yes Pici but isn't there a file sourcecode or conf file somewhere where I can configure what shows up?

[20:29] r-wolf: yes [20:29] anyone :"Unable to find a supported JDK or JRE version. Version 1.3.1 or higher is required.

[20:32] Assid: you can run kde apps in gnome too [20:32] i'm not a linux pro [20:32] Tigerplug: i would recommend using adept_manager it's a nice way to browse the repositories graphically.. sudo apt-get install adept or adept_manager I don't remember the specific name of the package... and then it will let you browse the repositories easier than using the apt-get from the command line [20:32] more libraries :( [20:32] what's the problem you're having bailey321 ? [20:32] * bailey321 was being sarcastic [20:32] and it just doesnt perform the same [20:33] bailey i will know more about linux in a month than you will in 3 years [20:33] :) [20:33] grekkos - thankyou [20:33] what will u do? === mbywater is now known as mbywater_server [20:33] grekkos my fxp in proftpd stalls beteen trasnfers for some reason, im sure its just the way i have the conf setup [20:33] Tigerplug: tell me if you'er having trouble finding any of the packages or using that package manager and i'll help you fix the problem [20:34] htmljunkie why is this?

[20:38] hey whats going on in this ca [20:38] I can't play mp3 on amarok or kaffeine, even though I installed the appropriate packages as far as I know [20:38] does the 64-bit Ubuntu really outperform the 32-bit one? I mean, 32-bit version is compiled for i686, thus no modern instructions available, and stuff like that... [20:38] angasule: which packages did you install? [20:38] Assid, what's your questoin? [20:38] kewl Aeleon [20:38] gnome-rdp gives an error : "error during the connection to database" [20:38] DRebellion: a lot :) I tried using the automated thingie, too [20:39] wanna know how to fix that [20:39] mikubuntu: does not include dalnet ops or we need to remove them from our nets [20:39] r-wolf: 64bit outperforms 32bit simply because more is better :D [20:39] angasule: which ones? [20:39] danilo, synaptic package manager, search for compiz or compiz fusion or beryl, mark for installation [20:39] DRebellion: I didn't install today, I don't recall every single package I installed in the last couple of months [20:39] what is the default fonts in ubuntu? [20:39] FreeSans? [20:39] Google tells me it's a bug, Assid. [20:39] !medibuntu | angasule [20:39] angasule: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [20:40] angasule: specifically the package win32codecs [20:40] Aeleon: right, so hence why i want to get some help [20:40] what is the default fonts in ubuntu? FreeSans? [20:40] is ot possible that ubuntu installer sees an IDE disk as a SCSI while installing? what's wrong with it ? (7.10) [20:40] DRebellion: I'm pretty sure that's not required to play mp3 [20:40] thought maybe someone worked with it [20:40] DRebellion: well, as for windows, I haven't noticed any performance boost from 32 to 64 bit; so, maybe linux would... [20:40] angasule: so far you have given me zero information to help you [20:40] tim167, with some of the new changes in the libata stuff.. YES ide disks can appear as scsi. [20:40] Try deleting .gnome-rdp.db in your home folder, Assid. [20:41] r-wolf: that's because its windows [20:41] DRebellion: this is the error I get from kaffeine: PM: xine: couldn't find demux for [20:41] Dr_willis, ah , and will the install work in the end ? [20:41] Dr_willis or should i install an older version ? [20:41] hey guys, I have a problem. I keep trying to install gutsy but the kernel crashes. The alternative installer will install the system but then the system won't boot all the way (it hangs). Any ideas? Is there any way to update the kernel in case the bug was fixed in an update, without having to boot the system? [20:41] tim167, it should. Just sure you dont accidently format the wrong disk like i did once. :) i had a mixed sata/ide system.. both disks showed up as scsi/sd$$ - I dident pay attention [20:42] angasule: i'm not sure about that [20:42] !mp3 | angasule [20:42] angasule: 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 [20:42] can someone help me with this v4l issue? i have a wintv hvr 1300, now i installed the updated v4l and it suddenly worked, but when I reboot the analog tv signal is gone (using tvtime), what can I do? [20:42] tim167, im thinking ide showingup as sd## will be commonplace in a year of 2. [20:42] hi [20:42] Aeleon: yeah that seems to do the job, but unfortunately, lost the rdp lists :( [20:42] DRebellion: thanks, but I already tried that... [20:43] sorry, it's all i can come up with. [20:43] tim167, its aparently a change thats from fixing a lot of issues in the old ata/ide interface code. Theres sites that discuss this all. :) [20:43] Tigerplug: were you able to find the JRE package? [20:43] Dr_willis, ok, that wont be the problem, but the installation is very slow... it failed a few times, burned new cds, trying a third time now...i got GRUB error 18 the first time... [20:43] Aeleon: scary.. oh well.. atleast it works [20:43] i think that's all you can do until the bug gets fixed. [20:43] but they should fix that [20:43] grekkos : I got "Check your installation and use +javahome to specify the JDK or JRE location" - when trying to run an application that needed JDK and JRE [20:43] it was filed in the beginning of december, i'm sure they're on it. [20:43] cool [20:44] Tigerplug: the application should only require JRE, unless your'e compiling the sourcecode then you'll need the JDK... i think there might be a package named 'java' so try apt-get install java [20:44] How can i fix the problem of my sound card being "blocked" it seems that no audio programs are able to output to my sound anymore... strangely. [20:44] tim167, no idea there sounds like some really odd stuff going on. [20:45] danilo, did you find compiz in synaptic? [20:45] anyone experienced with v4l? [20:45] !ask | retohu [20:45] retohu: 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. :-) [20:45] so i apt-get install'd openvpn, but i have no easy-rsa directory. any suggestions? [20:45] grekkos - nope thats not the package. The program that I am trying to run is a program written by a network admin here in ireland ... I'd say I may have to compile [20:46] Aeleon include sudo [20:46] My ubuntu refuses to play midi files (tried both kmid and timidity, and several midi files). [20:46] Dr_willis yes, indeed, i am downloading feisty now, i think i will try that, maybe its better for older computers... [20:46] Tigerplug: did you install the adept_manager? [20:46] I did, Chris. I installed openvpn just fine. everything else is there. [20:46] ah [20:46] i wish making mono / gtk# wasnt more complicated than regular C# [20:46] tim167, never noticed. :) [20:46] thought id have a generic C# app run [20:47] grekkos ... Just running the jdk install from adept... I selected it the first time...but must have forgot to apply [20:47] Chris| but the only directory in my /usr/share/doc/openvpn is examples/. [20:47] Assid: use java they're practically the same thing ;) [20:47] grekkos: need to relearn [20:48] Assid: yeah java's really nice though I don't use it very often... I always need to keep a java reference handy [20:48] and also java.. yikes.. too much resources [20:48] hi anybody using ProFTPD? Where is config file ? [20:48] ajitam: /etc/ is my best guess [20:48] ajitam: i think /etc/proftpd.conf or /usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf [20:49] grekkos: nah [20:49] oh well.. back to php :P [20:49] can someone point me to a tutorial for installing KDE 4 on a previously gnome system? [20:49] I'm on Gutsy [20:49] i get a "no space left on device" while trying to compile. anyone know what device that is refering too and how i could clear up some space?

Version 1.3.1 or higher is required." [20:50] Tigerplug: what program are you trying to run? [20:50] grekkos: just sudo apt-get install kubuntu? [20:50] hi. is there a decent flash player for x86_64?

[20:54] grekkos I can run azureus [20:54] Tigerplug: it sounds like a program-specific error, is there any way to configure the program?

[21:20] THose interested in trying out KDE4 could follow this short guide: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php [21:20] grekkos: yeah tell me about it [21:20] refresher: how do you make a folder? [21:20] Tigerplug: good :) bash scripting is very helpful... you can find a lot of good guides and references on google... search for bash tutorials or something [21:20] JerseyMonkey: yes, go to http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download and check the box for the slternate desktop CD [21:20] alternate* [21:20] froksen: yeah flash is broken right now (on adobe anyway) [21:20] how to hide *all* desktop icons? i know how to hide the volumes etc but I want all icons to be hidden [21:20] ii used the deb from the ubuntu members, went fast [21:20] Does anyone know if it's possible to download a 64 bit verion of Ubuntu if I don't have any burnable CDs at work? [21:20] JRU909, "meet requirements" ...? how much ram do you have and what is the cpu type? [21:20] TheGoodKid, Thankyou. Gotta go dig up a CD to burn it with. :) [21:20] Flare183: Fair... Any idea when it might be fixed? [21:21] 256 ram P2 processor [21:21] grekkos - actually I think I will - I want to learn to write one for backups and a few other thing... rather than copying and not learning [21:21] how do I create a new directory? [21:21] froksen: nope [21:21] hi how do i see my mozilla cokkies on ubuntu [21:21] Aeleon: mkdir [21:21] Flare183: Fair... Thanx anyway :-) [21:21] thank you, Flare183. [21:21] JRU909, you will need the alternate CD. [21:21] froksen: no problem [21:21] Tigerplug: it saves a lot of time :) i'm not that great at it myself but I have written a few helpful scripts [21:21] !alternate | JRU909 [21:21] JRU909: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal [21:21] I guess not. :\ [21:21] Aeleon: same for you [21:21] hi peeps [21:22] I also want to know what the reason for my system hanging is [21:22] if it's not a problem [21:22] Oh, how do you delete files? [21:22] obreiroGZ:i did installed startup but it wont start .... [21:22] :| [21:22] aeleon rm [21:22] I haven't done this in like five years, I'm really embarrassed. [21:22] Thank you, bingodeville. [21:22] I'm having some strange problems with 3D graphics when I run games [21:22] Aeleon: rm [21:22] JRU909, your RAM is ok, but the CPU is low end. I would recommend alternate or even Server version (and add a GUI/WM on top of that). wait, I have a good link for thtat [21:22] how do I change grub settings within the live cd? [21:23] Hammer89: what kind of problems? [21:23] hi [21:23] grekkos - cool, Its something I've always wanted to learn. May be useful in work... where i work mainly on windows (but I've tried to bring in unix as much as possible) deployed a nagios box today. Maybe use bash scripting to check services on servers ... thats possible right? [21:23] how do i find out what version of Ubuntu i have installed? [21:23] JRU909, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems [21:23] i mean, Dapper, Feisty etc [21:23] Ink5, system/about ubuntu [21:23] l3dx: colors are all shifted around... I tried playin Open Arena and almost everything was black... menus were so messed up I couldnt even read text [21:23] Ink5: use lsb_release [21:24] l3dx: the main menu was fine, hoever [21:24] *however [21:24] Jowi: Thank you very much, I'll try this out, if it doesn't work, I'll just continue using Puppy [21:24] Tigerplug: i'm not exactly sure what you mean by "checking services" but I've seen bash scripts to convert file formats from one text file format to another so I'm sure anything's possible :) [21:24] 'No LSB modules are available.' - and I don't have system/about [21:24] JRU909, you're welcome. I've installed using the method in the link for a P1 133 with 128MB RAM. [21:24] ink5: lsb_release -a [21:25] bingodeville: thx [21:25] Ink5: use lsb_release -r [21:25] or -a [21:25] is gutsy older than dapper? :-) [21:25] ink5 the system is the menu named system up the top left [21:25] man, do I have no clue [21:25] I use the dark Divinorum theme for my Ubuntu. This work pretty well, but when I use the volume buttons on my laptop, both the slider and the background are dark/black. How can I fix it so I get another color? [21:25] Ink5: dapper is about a year old [21:26] Cool stuff [21:26] Ink5: dude in order, dapper, edgy, fiesty, gusty [21:26] Ink5: dapper drake i think is version 6.01 [21:26] grekkos: its almost 2yrs. [21:26] grekkos: that's right [21:26] Hammer89: OK, never tried that game, so I don't have any suggestions..however..are your graphics driver correct/working? [21:26] its version 6.06 [21:26] !dapper [21:26] Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. See !lts for more details. [21:26] yeah [21:26] hi, I installed ubuntu and then upgraded it to ubnutu+1 or hardy alpha a few weeks ago. I installed windows xp on another partition afterwards and then a few weeks after last night I installed ubuntu gutsy onto the last partition.... I thought that it would reinstall grub but it didnt and now Im stuck with the windows boot manager which gives me too options... windows xp or other os and the other os option doesnt work [21:26] hmm sounds like an exciting game of Ubuntu trivia :) [21:27] !hardy | tretle [21:27] tretle: 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 [21:27] how can i edit cookies on mozilla [21:27] so i have a shiny new version [21:27] hi [21:27] !fixgrub | tretle [21:27] tretle: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[21:27] !fixgrub | tretle [21:27] i am having trouble accessing password protected samba shares from a gutsy machine [21:27] dark__: where/how do I do that? [21:27] hey compiz is acting up so i want to uninstall everything and start over, can ubuntu work correctly with out compiz installed? [21:27] tretle: try this boot with ur ubuntu live cd then type these on ur terminal [21:27] !fixgrub | tretle [21:27] tretle: got that? [21:27] tretle: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

I would think you would want to use usermod, but usermod fails complaining that it can't lock the password file. Presumably, that's because you can't edit the user that's logged in. What's the best way to get this done -- start in single-user mode? [21:28] im having this trouble where windows can't move or resize [21:28] no close button either [21:28] root(hd?,?) [21:28] setup (hd0) [21:28] quit [21:28] is ubuntu one of the best distro for linux? [21:28] does intalling tor on ubuntu slow down your internet much? [21:28] ok thanks [21:29] lets say ive got a 64-bit ubuntu, and ive realized this comp really is better off with 32-bit...is there any way to backup the system so that ill have little to none to do after reinstalling? [21:29] ? means after find /boot/grub/satge 1 it gives ur linux partion numbers [21:29] hsteve: best thing to do is try it, it works for a lot, not for others. [21:29] hsteve I highly recommend it for new users because of the extensive community support. [21:29] Tigerplug, tor can slow things down a bit. and using tor can slow down your browser. Yes. [21:29] Tigerplug: there is a torbutton plugn for firefox for quick enablind/disabling tor [21:29] !best | hsteve [21:29] hsteve, yes/no/maybe :) [21:29] yes [21:29] hsteve: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. [21:29] !tor [21:29] TOR is a project aiming to provide anonymous connections via specialized !proxies - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR for information and help - Note that TOR is blocked on most Ubuntu IRC channels, please see !hostmask and !tor-gpg [21:29] and that includes os's too [21:29] tillinux I've never had much luck installing tor [21:29] anyone any ideas about not beng able to get at samba shares that are only acessible for certain users? [21:29] I would install it and it worked once [21:29] ok [21:29] then gone [21:29] * IndyGunFreak forgot all about ubuntu-bots [21:29] Hammer89 do "glxinfo | grep rendering" in console and see what it says [21:30] esc are you providing a username parameter when you try to connect? [21:30] dark__: okay [21:30] i seem to like ubuntu a lot [21:30] well, i click on the share, and enter username/passowrd [21:30] neat bot :) [21:30] ps: works fine with windows [21:30] TOR is so slow... [21:30] i support almost everything [21:30] hsteve: then if you like it, use it. [21:30] would baking up /home be enough? (that is if i exclude the apps and dont mind installing them throung synaptic again) [21:30] I have a small routing problem with gutsy's netboot. Specifically, I can't seem to get the default gateway to work. [21:30] it [21:30] dark__: http://pastebin.com/m705d6407 [21:31] esc Are you talking about accessing a linux machine's share from a Windows machine, or vice versa? [21:31] it support almost everything except my mailing system [21:31] FactTechnologies: the samba is on a debian box [21:31] mannytu: that's because you're using proxies from possibly across the globe === vwbusguy is now known as someguy [21:31] i can access the shares there from windows [21:31] how do i get evolution to work as a mail retriever? [21:31] Hello. I'm trying to get my joystick working on Gutsy. I'm pretty sure my gameport's detected, but analog doesn't appear to be doing much (according to dmesg, at least). /dev/input/js0 doesn't exist. [21:31] esc Sorry, I've only ever used samba the other way. What's the symptom? [21:32] Hammer89 So you aint got Direct rendering working which is why openGL games like openarena wont work properly [21:32] and also the guest ones from ubuntu [21:32] 5~/exit [21:32] dark__: how do I fix that? [21:32] !topaz [21:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about topaz - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:32] sigh [21:32] anyone know what 'topaz' is? [21:32] !info topaz [21:32] Package topaz does not exist in gutsy [21:32] how can i find where is mozilla [21:32] but i can't get at password protected shares [21:32] in which directory is mozilla [21:32] !search topaz [21:32] Found: [21:32] like users homes for example [21:32] unagi: nothing [21:32] ? [21:32] Ubuntu: Applications -> Internet -> Firefox Web Browser [21:32] ack [21:33] ubuntu-s: [21:33] Topaze? [21:33] Hammer86 have a look at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/dri-howto.xml its for gentoo but you need to really just make sure you have the right modules loading in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:33] i have the same problem with mint btw.. [21:33] A medical soft [21:33] does ubuntu retrieve mail from free mail distro's [21:33] dark__: okay [21:33] esc Could be permissions settings on the files being shared. [21:33] and its only those shares where u need a user and password to login === AddyK-W32 is now known as AddyK-NOKEYS [21:33] like hotmail box [21:33] hsteve: it can [21:33] esc Most stuff in /home is only visible to the user that created it, I think. [21:33] FactTechnologies: no, as these are accessible from windowd [21:33] how [21:33] no i mean from my home directory catalogue [21:34] in which directory is mozilla [21:34] Hammer89 .. take a backup of xorg.conf before you mess with it "sudo cp /et/X11/org.conf /etc/X11/xorg.backup [21:34] this is what makes me wonder [21:34] Flare183 how does it do that [21:34] !info hotway | hsteve [21:34] hsteve: hotway: POP3 to Hotmail (HTTPmail) gateway. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:0.8.4-2.2 (gutsy), package size 54 kB, installed size 192 kB [21:34] lets say ive got a 64-bit ubuntu, and ive realized this comp really is better off with 32-bit...is there any way to backup the system so that ill have little to none to do after reinstalling? [21:34] !repeat | ubuntu-s [21:34] ubuntu-s: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [21:34] hsteve, your question is a bit strange. you can use web interface or configure evolution/thunderbird to retrive mail with both pop3 or IMAP. [21:34] everything is fine with windows, but with ubuntu it ain't doing the trick, which is is kinda odd ;-) [21:34] dark__: will do [21:34] i did not repeat [21:34] i thought maybe its a common problem [21:34] linduxed: back up your /home [21:34] whats this [21:34] esc So if you connect Win->linux, you see them. If you connect linux->linux, you don't? [21:34] jowi i don't know just trying [21:35] someguy: even when switching from 64bit to 32bit? [21:35] someguy: will that preserve application settings? [21:35] linduxed: in future, make /home and /boot separate partitions. [21:35] FactTechnologies: corract, but only those that are user/password protected [21:35] Hammer89 .. I should think you just need to add the modules in (dri and GLX) and the mode bit in the dri section [21:35] esc Is it possible that samba is enforcing permissions on a linux->linux connection that it doesn't enforce on a Win->linux connection? [21:35] dark__: Hmm... okay [21:36] Is gutsy's netboot environment just not working? [21:36] I cannot boot my system because of a kernel panic. can somebody help me? [21:36] linduxed: I should think so. At least most of your desktop and wine settings [21:36] i have a problem with gusty and samba shares ... i can see and browse remote shared folders, but i cannot seem to be able to get write permission ("read only" option is unchecked in menu system > admistration > shared folders .... i shared /home/keisangi/ ) how can i get write permission on samba shares ? [21:36] would like to make a shell script that I can cron; delete any file older than 24 hours. Where would I find how to do that, please? [21:36] linduxed: obviously you will lose anything you've installed since the initial istallation [21:36] hello! I have a video, and I would like to have one part of its sound separately. Could someone recommend me a suitable application? [21:36] keisangi: use gksudo to fix the permissions [21:36] FactTechnologies: maybe [21:37] keisangi: you have to set the folder permissions to let everybody have write access [21:37] Flare183, ok i try that [21:37] Hammer89 .. You could just make sure you are using the right drivers from the manufacturer of whatever first.. i dunno [21:37] keisangi: ok [21:37] someguy: ok, that would mean a lot... [21:37] comicinker, you mean set /home/keisangi to 777 ? [21:37] someguy: ofh but wait [21:37] on that page it says to run /mnt/root and you should get an output but all i get is /mnt/root is a directory [21:38] dark__: I have the drivers for my graphics card installed [21:38] someguy: you mean the apps right? i dont mind instaling them again...as long as the settings prevail [21:38] how do I install fedora? [21:38] keisangi: yes. so I recommend you to create a single folder. not yout whole home directory [21:38] linduxed: yeah, I mean the apps, but the configuration for this are in the .* folders in you /home directory [21:38] !fedora [21:38] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [21:38] Hammer89 .. K well you want to look at section 3, configuring direct rendering in that site i gave you [21:39] linduxed: (for your personal settings) [21:39] FactTech: i'll go and dig round in the samba logs [21:39] Jeffx_: this is a ubuntu support channel not a fedora support channel [21:39] comicinker, ok thanks a lot for the help, i'll try that [21:39] dark__: that's where I'm at now :) [21:39] esc That might be a lead... like I said, I don't have any experience with this situation. [21:39] linduxed: if you modified and .conf's you can always copy them to your back up and paste them back where they ened to go after [21:39] Hammer89 .. yeh you dont need to worry about compiling the kernel and all that [21:40] !linux [21:40] Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux [21:40] If im currently running Gnome and I install KDE.. what does that make my distro? [21:40] Tigerplug: it'll still be ubuntu [21:40] Hammer89 .. you dont need to touch modules.autoload.d either i dont reckon [21:40] Tigerplug: Ubuntu, but you can use any apps from Kubuntu [21:41] .... and can I select between kde and gnome? [21:41] yes [21:41] yeah [21:41] Tigerplug: [21:41] gdm allows you to select session types [21:41] from the login-screen [21:41] someguy: ok so basically if i install the same apps i have now i should end up with the same system (pretty much) if i backup and then overwrite the /home directory? [21:41] Tigerplug: yes! gdm will allow you to select either one at login [21:41] Tigerplug: yeah you can [21:41] Tigerplug: from gdm [21:41] linduxed: in theory yes. [21:42] I need some help dual booting. Initially, I installed just ubuntu. Wine isn't working well enough so I resized my partition and installed winxp on the new partition. Rebooting went to windows. I resetup grub with a knoppix disc but it only seems to detect my ubuntu install. How can I get it to decect and boot both operating systems? [21:42] nagyv: you mean something like virtual dub for linux? [21:42] installed and changed the config around for vsftpd. now i start the vsftpd service and the message says it starts but its not running when i check ps. [21:42] no error logs anywhere [21:42] is there some way i can debug it? [21:42] someguy is it just apt-get kde? [21:42] for kde 4 [21:43] !kde4 | Tigerplug [21:43] Tigerplug: KDE 4 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. - KDE 4.0 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.0/ and support in #kubuntu [21:43] someguy: would this include gdm settings? [21:43] Tigerplug: that would be just the base, you could probably search Synaptics for all the bells and whistles you will want with KDE [21:43] comicinker: I don't really know virtual dub, but as I see it's also for capturing video. Actually, I already have the video file, and just need the sound. [21:43] kde4 is being discussed in #kubuntu at this time. [21:43] linduxed: all specific user settings, yes [21:43] dark__: I can't find a "Section "dri"" in myxorg.conf file [21:44] linduxed: just dont' switch from Ubuntu to Kubuntu :) [21:44] comicinker: just found a command line solution at http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/229/extract-audio-from-video-or-online-stream/ [21:44] thanks! [21:44] Hammer89 thats cos you need to add it at the very end.. [21:44] dark__: ok [21:45] Hammer89 Section "DRI" [21:45] Hammer89 Mode 0666 [21:45] Ohhh, damnit. :c I have an ubuntu box that I can SSH to and I just made some key files for what i hope will be my vpn from openvpn. How do I send them to the vista box I'm SSH'ing from, which wil be my client? [21:45] Hammer89 EndSection [21:45] dark__: done it... is the 3rd part of that page the only one I need to be concerned with? [21:45] is there a way to get a dep tree with apt? or see why a package is getting pulled in? [21:45] Hammer89 yeh i reckon [21:46] dark__: alright... do I need to reboot in order for the changes to take effect? [21:46] Aeleon what are you using to get to the linux machine from vista? [21:46] Aeleon: if you're going to be doing this more than once, get WinSCP [21:46] putty. [21:46] uh, what it the command to join a different server? [21:46] Hammer89 you can restart x with ctrl alt backspace [21:46] okay [21:46] brb [21:46] I don't think I'm going to be doing this mor ethan once, no, jimcooncat. [21:46] Oops, forgot to hightlight- gnoift, I'm using putty. [21:47] comicinker: hmm, this didn't work [21:47] how do i connect to a server? [21:47] Aeleon: yeah get winscp it gives you a ftp-like interface over ssh. [21:47] aeleon: you only need the public key id_rsa.pub [21:47] nagyv: there is a cool tool, wait, I have to remember the name.... [21:48] aeleon: the text in there is small enough to copy and paste into the authorized_keys file === ismaeel is now known as BlueViper [21:48] this howto on openvpn.net says I need ca.crt and my client key. [21:48] and my client .crt [21:48] dark__: still messed up.... [21:49] nullbyte00, you mean on irc? [21:49] yes [21:49] nagyv: the tool is called avidemux [21:49] Hammer89 what does glxinfo | grep rendering say now [21:49] gnoift: this howto on openvpn.net says I need ca.crt and my client key. [21:49] Aeleon: if they're text files, copy them from the putty screen and paste them into notepad [21:50] uh, they're not suposed to be text files, are they? [21:50] I was wondering, are their any benefits in using a KDE desktop over Gnome? [21:50] aeleon: can you start a ftp deamon on your machine to grab the files? Otherwise filezilla can also handle scp [21:50] Hammer89 and what vid card are you using? in the driver section of xorg are you ising the right driver? [21:50] Aeleon: I don't know about vpn keys. I know ssh keys are [21:50] Jeffx_: The choice is yours. [21:50] nullbyte00, oops, i fiddled with the server settings myself and got disconnected [21:50] gnoift, I'm probably going to download winscp like the others advised. [21:51] jimcooncat, i'll look. [21:51] hi [21:51] nullbyte00, with /server server.address you can connect to a different irc server [21:51] dark__: http://pastebin.com/d5930c510 [21:51] anyone know what 16: Syntax error: Bad substitution means [21:51] aeleon: good choice [21:51] dark__ I'll check... my card is an ATI Radeon Xpress 200m [21:51] Aeleon: don't bother, if you're going to get winscp anyway.

[22:11] georges: i love devede it was the perfect solution to getting avi's on my ps3 before firmware 2 [22:12] how do i convert 100 jpg images (sorted alphabetically) into the pages of a single pdf document? they are of varying sizes, so the tool should auto-best-fit the images to Letter size on each page. [22:12] apt-get install devede :-) [22:12] Sonja, do you have photoshop? [22:12] yes i have it on my winxp computer [22:12] there is im sure a way to script it on ubuntu [22:12] you can do it there. Under the file menu, there's an automate option. [22:12] hehe. gnoift, about the ps3... it now plays divx ok. does it also play HD divx? 1080i? [22:12] and one of those is uh, something like automate to pdf [22:13] Aeleon neat [22:13] you have to have all the images you need open in ps, though. [22:13] Professor_K -- Well, it's the part that's listed as relevant here http://tronprog.blogspot.com/2007/08/amarok-cant-play-mp3-files.html [22:13] georges: never got a 1080i file before, best i've seen is 720 [22:13] and it played that just grat [22:13] gnoift: hmm eah, heroes comes in 720p [22:13] i'll try Aeleon's method, if ubuntu has no way of creating pdf from 100 jpgs [22:13] Professor_K -- Did you upgrade something when Amarok stopped working? [22:14] i don't know if gimp has that option? [22:14] why doesnt my 4 GIGs of ram show???? [22:14] have you ooked, sonja? ^ [22:14] looked* [22:14] did the guy looking for DENYHOSTS come right? [22:14] i just upgraded to 4 GIG of ram [22:14] whabo, how are you viewing it ? [22:14] im only showing around 3 GIG [22:14] gnoift: apparently a lot now in matroshka containes. I wonder if ps3 handles that [22:14] i googled around but didn find [22:14] Whabo are you sure you computer supports 4 gb try memtest [22:14] from the about [22:14] georges: mp4? [22:14] FactTech: no I just installed amarok, it never worked, yet. [22:14] a propos: putting lotsa jpg into a pdf, there are scripts for managing pdf files. [22:14] mikey yes it supports 4 GIG [22:15] whabo, about says its only 3GB, maybe do memtest, and see if one isnt working [22:15] whabo, you were just in the windows channel. What operating system do you run? [22:15] gnoift: avhdc (spelling) the format on HD discs [22:15] maybe coz i need a 64 bit ubuntu? [22:15] Professor_K -- That's weird. But mp3s do play in other programs? [22:15] yeah [22:15] ubuntu and windows [22:15] georges you know how to convert 100 or so jpgs into a pdf ? [22:15] georges: heh no i have no idea, i'm still struggling to get "transcode" to get my avi's to mpeg4 as mp4 [22:15] whabo, its on the Ubuntu CD [22:16] Professor_K -- Amarok was a little weird for me the first few times I started it up. You might try 'ps aux | grep amar', kill all threads you find there, and try relaunching. [22:16] ill try something out hold on .. thx for the support [22:16] gnoift: I usually use mencoder, way faster. no idea about mp4 though. have you tried avidemux? [22:17] sonja: never did. I did the reverse. extract all jpg from the pdf. I don't remember what utility it was. [22:17] georges: no not yet, i've installed it but i don't really like gui's that much as i do most of my admin work via text [22:18] gnoift: me too, but for just the occasional video it's great. [22:18] Buenas a todos. Alguien me puede decir como olvidar la configuracion de una wlan en gutsy? utilizo el network manager [22:18] Aeleon: i suggest if you setup your vpn or tunnel your traffic over the firewall, do so on port 443 - it never gets monitored and people don't think twice about it [22:18] hello. i wish to install ubuntu to a seperate HDD ( hdb ) as for i have on hda stuff i wish not to change. if i was to install to hdb and then later wish to boot from hda , will the grub appear or the grub only written to the MBR on hdb ? [22:19] really, gnoift? [22:19] Rohsputina: it will write to the mbr of the hd it is installed to i believe. so youd need to follow the fixmbr link to write to hda [22:19] georges: yeah, the ps3 was a real pain in the but the new firmware is just dandy except for the odd files that doesn't have the resolution dividable by 16 [22:19] !fixmbr| Rohsputina [22:19] Rohsputina: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [22:20] I'll try it out. [22:20] FactTech: tried to type your command, still doesn't work... [22:20] Rohsputina -- Unless you are using a different boot manager, I think you will need to have GRUB on the main hard drive. [22:20] how do you make a script launch every time you log on? [22:20] Rohsputina -- But I've never tried to set something up like you're describing. [22:20] Aeleon: yeah, I tunnel EVERYthing over 443. gigs. vi your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and add "Port 443" underneath "Port 22" [22:20] well i would like to have "2 main hdds" [22:20] gnoift: about devede, my mpeg is DVD compliant. will it reencode that or just burn it? [22:20] Professor_K -- which command? [22:21] Professor_K -- The 'ps aux' command? [22:21] !startup | gabriel7645 [22:21] gabriel7645: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [22:21] one with windows and the other with Ubuntu [22:21] gnoift: fount it... [22:21] Aeleon: then you use putty to point to port 443 instead of 22 - if're you connecting to port 22 the firewall admin will probably know it's not web traffic [22:21] i see. [22:22] FactTech: yeah [22:22] georges: not sure, i've always just used it to convert avi's to DVD's. [22:22] ubotu: I would do that except there is no launcher for this script I just created, [22:22] hello all. just reinstalled ubuntu 7.10 i386 and I'm having some trouble getting steam to run via wine [22:22] gnoift - does it matter which udp port i use, in the case of this walkthrough you gave me? or can it just be one that's forwarded? [22:22] gnoift: has option "file is already compliant PS" [22:22] Professor_K: 'ps aux | grep amar' should list all processes/threads that may have been spawned and hung when Amarok didn't load. [22:22] georges: i have a script that i wrote for qdvdauth somewhere if you want to do it that way [22:22] i had it going before, but it's not being very friendly as of right now [22:23] Professor_K: If you got nothing back (or just one line from your command), then there are no hung processes. [22:23] ubuntu-ni [22:23] Professor_K: Have you tried launching Amarok more than once? [22:23] Aeleon, i pretty much do everything over 443 [22:23] FactTech: the weird thing is that everytime I restard amarok and try to play a file it says that it can't read mp3 and asks if I want to install mp3 support, and if I click yes nothing happens and it still don't work [22:23] s [22:23] gnoift: hmm, just the thing I used qdvdauthor for is not in devede: create custom chapter breaks in the video file [22:23] lo all [22:24] wouldn't i have to forward 443 on my server's router?

[22:32] cdecarlo: in cisco router in order to back up their image i need to have tftp server that is the way that router can communicate with windows or linux [22:32] i know about windows but new to linux [22:32] cdecarlo: udp 69 [22:32] gnoift: yep. I'm a guy ... [22:32] cu [22:32] sled: you should try dragging the theme tar ball onto the theme window, that will install it properly [22:33] PROF: have you heard about AUTOMATIX?

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [22:34] Dragon67: and the only way for the cisco router to communicate with other machines is through tftp? [22:34] i have read this article but do not work for me:http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/tftp.htm [22:34] Dragon67: sorry man, I wish I could help but I gotta go [22:34] sled: you could try cd ~/.themes && tar xf /path/to/themetarball [22:35] cdecarlo: no i dont meant that i mean the only way to get file from cisco router and change their IOS is by tftp as far as i know [22:35] anyone? a little help with wine and steam? pretty please with sugar on top?

[22:35] ok thanks [22:35] AUTOMATIX adds all the needed repos to your /etc/apt/sources.lists file - i've never ever had a problem with it [22:35] jules_winfield: begging will get you nowhere, but #winehq probably has the latest info on it [22:36] how do i disable my trackpad on my laptop? i have a usb mouse [22:36] jules_winfield: should have added a smiley to that line, it sounds a bit harsh :) [22:37] Yggdrasil: there is a gui to samba that you can use that will allow guest logins [22:37] yes. [22:37] Does anyone have any experience with running XP in VMware? Will it be really slow with intel core 2 duo e4500 and 2gb ram? [22:37] hi all ... can any1 assist me in setting up my nVidia driver? i've just downloaded the newest release for its official site for Linux x86 [22:37] thanks [22:37] !synaptics | jorik808 [22:37] jorik808: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [22:37] krim, it should run fine. Ive ran it decently with much less. [22:37] sorry. i didn't mean it to be.8-) [22:37] Yggdrasil: but if you read the /etc/samba/smb.conf there is a documented guest login [22:37] jules_winfield: no, mine was [22:38] krim, that box has like 4x the cpu and 2x the ram on the box i was using vmware+xp on. :) [22:38] krim: a suggestion : why don't you use virtualbox? [22:38] hey guys how can i install inetd for ubuntu server? [22:38] gnoift: What's better about it? [22:38] Evening [22:39] mazen: why do you want to use the newest nvidia driver the one that is in the repos is .19 - which is very fast [22:39] Can anyone help me get my Ubuntu back to life? I just messed up in trying to prepare for the upgrade to Gutsy [22:39] krim: i would use virtualsbox too....it´s faster and has more funktions for normal user [22:39] nickrud, thx [22:39] Ok thanks, I'll check out virtualbox [22:39] Hi room :) [22:39] krim: well, for one thing it is in the repositories so there will be no extra software installed [22:40] http://forum.swiftirc.net/viewtopic.php?t=14683 - POST PLEASE [22:40] javaccen: sudo aptitude install inetutils-inetd [22:40] gnoift: Just read that on Wikipedia, saves me a lot of trouble, thanks :) [22:40] krim: VIRTUALBOX also has guest additions, just like vmware [22:41] How do I install a standard nVdiia driver if I can't get into Ubuntu (GUI) at all? [22:41] ok matey gnoift ... i've set up kiba-dock ... and then found the compiz-fusion is not responding [22:41] krim, you can use Parallels Desktops too ;) [22:41] i have a little problem, ive been trying to fix my skydome for ages and i cant ever get it too, my problem is that when i try to use an image instead of sold colors, it doesnt let me like it says im using the skydome background but it just uses the regular standard colors as a skydome, how do i fix this? [22:41] i cannot use it like something is conflicting [22:41] draggin: apt-get install nvidia* and check what you need from there any only install those [22:42] gnoift - how would I know what I need though? [22:42] is there's a way to select/move multiple entries in gnome menu ? alacarte seems to allow selecting/moving only entries one by one .. [22:42] draggin: OR BETTER yet use: "apt-cache search nvidia" [22:42] Draggin: you need nvidia-glx-new [22:43] Draggin: that should pull in all the dependancies [22:43] No - nvidia-glx-new is too new - I have a Geforce 4 card [22:43] i have lots of menu entries to organize .. moving them one by one is slow.. isn't there's a better solution than just alacarte ? [22:43] mazen: hm? Kiba dock...? I've never worked with that sorry man [22:43] ohmigod, how do i sudo with winscp? [22:43] Draggin: is Ubuntu actualy installed, or are you trying to runt he Live CD? [22:43] mazen: are you at least getting a X login? [22:44] keisangi: heck, a year ago we were begging for something that worked at all :) [22:44] Draggin: then use nvidia-glx [22:44] X login? i'm new in this matey [22:44] Draggin: apt-get install nvidia-glx [22:44] IndyGunFreak - yes, Ubuntu (feisty) is fully installed and was fully functional until I tried fixing stuff to prepare for upgrading to Gutsy from the alternate CD [22:44] Draggin: why not just do a clean install? [22:44] mazen: try "apt-cache search compiz [22:45] " [22:45] gnoift - what does apt-cache search nvidia [22:45] do? [22:45] I tried to install those two packages one after the other respectively (libxine-extracodecs, libxine1-ffmpeg) and I got two error message in the terminal (the error messages are here http://pastebin.com/d5149310b) and amarok still refuses to play mp3 files...can somebody help me plz? [22:45] IndyGunFreak - because I have a crapload of files and programmes running - don't want to reformat everything [22:45] ok gnoift [22:45] i'll try [22:45] Draggin: wel, regardless, you'd be wise to make a backup before upgrading, if thats the case..... just in case something goes haywire [22:46] . /join #youbuntu [22:46] Draggin: it looks through the ubuntu repositories and finds all the packages that have nvidia as a keyword [22:46] Professor_K: go to system->admin->software sources , enable the first 4 , disable the cdrom. In the terminal, run sudo apt-get update for luck, then repeat the line you used in the pastebin [22:46] mazen: why don't you use the online repositories? [22:46] IndyGunFreak - I did make a backup of the most important stuff and hope I won't lose them anyway, but it should still be less effort upgrading than reformatting [22:46] when people *TRY* to help but dont know what they're talking about, it HURTS the free software movement! [22:46] where can i get a ubuntu matrix theme [22:46] Draggin: i guess thats where i disagree, i find clean installing much easier. [22:47] adub, on the "gnome art " website ;) [22:47] hey all [22:47] jklfdjskl: then help here, raise the bar [22:47] IndyGunFreak - dude, how long does that take? Do you know how many packages I would have to get, reconfigure, etc. etc. all over again... [22:47] anyone here have an Nvidia Geforce go 7700? [22:47] nickrud, h must not know what he's alking about. [22:48] Draggin - i feel the same way [22:48] wt if i ust them? would this problem be sorted out? [22:48] draggin [22:48] HI PPL [22:48] nickrud: I already did that.. [22:48] Aeleon? [22:48] Draggin: i can setup any of my systems in roughly an hour.. install all packages i use, remove packages I don't, and transfer data from my backup to my install.... then I usually spend about 10-15min setting up programs like xchat, pidgin, etc. [22:48] hey nuno [22:49] nickrud: in fact I did that before posting in the pastebin [22:49] Draggin: you have to get them anyway during the upgrade. !clone makes automates replacing any packages you had instaled [22:49] indy - teach my whatever tricks you're using to do that [22:49] IndyGunFreak - I'm rather new to Linux, so all of that will take me about a week :) That's why I want to upgrade [22:49] Draggin: make a list? sometimes a clean reformat puts in perspective what you really need. if you can't be assed to reconfigure them, then, they must not be that important. [22:49] Professor_K: then something went haywire, since that's the cause of your problem in the pastebin [22:49] Kibble_: its not rocket science [22:49] mazen: it's just better for upgrading i find, you have all the latest software and you don't have to find problems other people have already fixed [22:49] gah. My grammer sucks this day [22:50] and i'm not a rocket scientist [22:50] i'm thinking of setting up XBMC-linux on my HTPC, which currently runs Vista. i want as few headaches as possible for getting audio/video/etc working, so *before* i commit to wiping my hdd to install an os, i'd like to try a livecd. how hard will it be to get audio (SPDIF output via toslink), video acceleration (onboard intel GMA3100), etc working on an Ubuntu LiveCD? [22:50] nickrud: what's haywire: :S is that bad? [22:50] Hello [22:50] i actually met a rocked scientist once :-) a girl! [22:50] Draggin: it beats seeing what doesn't upgrade seamlessly and having to uninstall *and* reconfigure. [22:50] Draggin: or that might just happen in windows, i'm not sure. [22:50] gmoore - RUN [22:50] should i download this thing matey? [22:50] Professor_K: gedit /etc/apt/sources.list , put the output on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org . Nah, you have no errors in that output, all is still good :) [22:50] Kibble_: uh [22:50] gmoore: have you had a look at mythtv? Probably. [22:51] having trouble finding matrix theme [22:51] gnoift: yes and xbmc is leaps and bounds beyond it [22:51] gnoift, i met a dude one. he wouldn't stop making reference to it. [22:51] Professor_K: seriously haywire error messages, that is [22:51] whats up guys [22:51] i backup all my files(mp3s, videos, office files, etc..).. install, wipe the drive, when its booted, i install all the software i like to use(about 8 programs that aren't with the normal install), then I remove about 5-6 programs that I don't ever use that come w/ a normal install, then i transfer all my files(this takes the longest, about 20-30min) from my 500gig USB drive.. once thast done, i set up my programs and do any updating [22:51] thats left. [22:51] Aeleon - it all makes sense - but it really took me so long to get Feisty up and running properly from scratch that I don't want to sit through all that again. Plus - I wouldn't even know what to backup - I don't know which files are required etc. and which are just optional [22:51] hello? [22:51] adub, --> http://art.gnome.org/search.php?search_text=matrix&search_type=all [22:51] guys how can i check the disk space on ubuntu [22:51] Draggin: did you at least take notes? [22:51] Hello guys. Having a little problem here. I`m trying to connect from Ubuntu to a windows share via NFS. So I use this command in the console: sudo mount 192.168.0.1:/XJunk /media/share , where 192.168.0.1 is the ip pf the windows box. All I get is this error: "System Error: Connection refused". Now I know for sure that there is a share on that windows box (I`m siting next to it) and that there is no firewall. Also, the windows box is accessible, since it respon [22:51] I just keep my home on another partition, even simpler. [22:52] can anyone help me reinstall unbuntu on my computer? [22:52] IndyGunFreak - notes of what? [22:52] Indy - I'm on my first linux learning curve and having to re-install almost every day [22:52] Hi there [22:52] nickrud: i could never adjust to that, don't know why [22:52] Draggin: then why upgrade at all? :-) If it works, leave it i say except for security patches [22:52] of what you did as you were doing it, Draggin. [22:52] Draggin: things you done to make things work, etc. [22:52] \join [22:52] \join -list [22:52] why won't firefox show up the graph in google finance [22:52] I, hopefully, have a quick question. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting ipod/itunes support using Ubuntu? [22:52] IndyGunFreak - yeah, saved all the sites and howtos that I used to get things up and running [22:52] mehiel: "/join" [22:52] that is all backgrounds [22:52] mehiel, commands start with / not \ [22:52] i just want a green black theme [22:52] \join #ubuntu [22:52] can anyone help me reinstall ubuntu? [22:53] gmoore: just asking never used xbmc before but you'be probably done some research and I'll check it out aswell, ta man [22:53] mehiel: for cryin out loud.. "/join #channelname" no quotes [22:53] Eagle2160, yes [22:53] itunes does not work with either wine or crossover [22:53] Eagle2160: why do you need to reinstallL? [22:53] I'd installed Fluxbox on Ubuntu 7.10 Server (Fluxconf, too) and now I wonder why I don't have a menu on rightlclick. I also have installed debian on another machine and there it works well, from beginning. I copied the configurationdata, but nothing happens [22:53] hey all [22:53] gnoift: yes i've used both. xbmc for linux is pretty young still but xbmc period is very old and has some incredible work put into it. it's leaps and bounds better than ANY commercial or open source product, period. it is really excellent, give it a shot [22:53] Kuroachia: if you have one of the later ipods, like a 3d gen nano, you will have to wait for 8.04 or so. gtkpod.org has the info [22:53] use Amarok to sync an ipod, its awesome. [22:53] you need gtkpod or use amarok to get your ipod working [22:53] why won't firefox show up the graph in google finance [22:53] the install installed incorectly [22:54] need to fix this error from gnome desktop runing on xubuntu [22:54] OAFIID:Deskbar_Applet [22:54] i'm dying with this wierd graphics bug [22:54] it's killing me [22:54] gmoore: thanks man, i will just do that :-) [22:54] adub: try http://www.gnome-look.org === SarraHH is now known as AzAel [22:54] dinner time, back in a bit.

[22:55] Eagle2160, what was the problem when you tried to install ? [22:55] !worksforme [22:55] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [22:55] i tried gnash, but that was completely bugged out [22:56] envy works [22:56] Professor_K: disable the medibuntu.sos-sts.com ones, do the apt-get update and install again [22:56] gnoift: Please do not recommend it to anyone in this channel [22:56] !envy [22:56] envy is not needed or supported.

I've tried the ubuntu site on sound issues but that doesn't work, ubuntu doesn't recognize my sound card, which I dont know what it is at all, and I think it's built in. I'm on a laptop by the way. Are there any packages or links that someone can provide me? [23:00] kibble_: that couldn't be, that I don't find on Google something, and in all supportchannels. Should I change to Debian, completely? [23:00] adub: what release are you on? [23:00] Jowi - and who's the address for support?

[23:07] francesco: duh it's supposed to [23:07] mazen: does apt-get install nvidia-glx not work for you? [23:07] francesco: if you're concerned about someone having root access to your machine while at the keyboard, you should use a bios password and put a lock on the case. If they can boot or access the hard drive having recovery mode unprotected is irrelevant [23:07] francesco, you can remove the recovery option from the grub menu. [23:07] Ph0ebus I did but obviously you are not recieveing it [23:08] How can I remove the recovery option? [23:08] i'm checking matey now [23:08] Eagle2160, I've not received ... :( [23:08] still downloading its files ... not seen anything yet [23:08] francesco, you can edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file and remove the 5 lines or so that refer to the recovery option: don't delete them just comment them out [23:09] ph0ebus what client are you using to talk right now? [23:09] Anyone had experience with dmraid, initramfs and grub and can lend me a hand...... 3+ days of pulling my hair out now :( [23:09] Eagle2160, I'm using Xchat [23:09] Hey guys. What's the best emthod of getting a graphical installer when I have a new nVidia card (8800GT) which doesn't like the usual installer? (Doesn't start x) [23:09] francesco, but it makes no difference cause you can still hit 3 when you're booting and put a 1 on the command line to boot into single [23:09] how shall i write in ntfs drive [23:09] francesco: Like nikrud says, if your data is unencrypted neither root password, grub entry or bios will help. Someone could remove your hard-drive, plug it into a different system and have full access. To increase security, change your bios so that hard-drive boots first, and put a password on bios. Then add a password to grub as well. That's about as good as you can do minus a fully encrypted system. [23:09] francesco, see /boot/grub/menu.lst. there is a line that say # altoptions=(recovery mode) single. see !grub for more info [23:09] francesco, sorry, hit 1 that is [23:09] !info ntfs | khelll [23:09] khelll: Package ntfs does not exist in gutsy [23:09] ph0ebus ok hold on 1 second [23:10] !ntfs | khelll [23:10] khelll: 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 [23:10] !ntfs-3g [23:10] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions.

[23:10] francesco: find #alternative=true and change it to #alternative=false in /boot/grub/menu.lst , then run sudo update-grub . This will make sure you don't get the recovery option back with a kernel upgrade [23:10] :) [23:10] Guys, the problem is that I don't want the other users to read/manipulate my data. [23:10] ph0ebus ok [23:11] Is there a document I could read about GRUB to learn how to set GRUB? [23:11] francesco: Change bios so that someone can't pop a livecd into your drive and read it. Add a grub password so that someone can't hit esc and choose to boot into recovery mode. [23:11] francesco: use a bios password. lock the case. If they can boot a cd or get to your hard drive, they can get your data [23:11] !grub | francesco [23:11] francesco: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

But by default the home dirs can be read by anyone [23:15] Can you install Linux on a GUID Partition Table? [23:15] so apt-get install php5 doesnt really do anything?

[23:15] nickrud: If the user accesses as root, he can read everything. Right? [23:15] francesco: You can always add a . to the front of the file or folder name and it becomes hidden. I'm not sure if nickrud means this but this is possible. [23:15] ph0ebus how exactly do i do that on x chat? [23:15] Kiubble_: the default permissions are r for 'others'. [23:15] francesco: yes. [23:16] Kibble_: sure do, create a new user and try looking at his files [23:16] :D [23:16] hi, I get "The Composite extension is not available" when going to Desktop Effects under System -> Preferences, any idea on how to solve the issue?, direct rendering and proper drivers are installed [23:16] Then, the point is remove recovery mode. Right? [23:16] francesco: right, but they should NOT know the root password [23:16] Eagle2160: Load it up, on the server tab type /server irc.freenode.net and when it connects type /join #azerty [23:16] MrObvious: no, he'll be able to read those as well [23:16] chuy_max: What video card? [23:16] francesco: they could use a recovery cd [23:16] nickrud: Just thought I'd throw that out as well. :p [23:16] Me again - how do I enable my networking from the command line?

[23:17] Eagle2160, it's " irc.freenode.net " [23:17] Draggin: /etc/init.d/networking start [23:17] francesco: a safe computer, is a shutted-down-computer [23:17] ph0ebus haha im sorry that is what i meant to type [23:17] /server irc.freenode.net [23:17] francesco: you could consider some kind of encryption [23:17] /join #roomname [23:17] gnoift - that's it? That's the same as selecting the networking icon in the GUI and choosing 'Wire Network'? [23:18] francesco: When you turn on the computer you don't want anyone without authorization to be able to divert the system. If they can divert the system from the normal boot-up then they can read your data. Either with a livecd or with booting into recovery mode. First step is to prevent those things from happening. Set a bios password. Change the bios boot order so that hard-drive boots first. That eliminates live cd. Then set a passwo [23:18] francesco: ultimately anyone who has physical access to the machine can do anything to it. Just a sad fact [23:18] ph0ebus it says it can not find the server [23:18] on all files, gnoift? [23:18] Draggin: yeah, that doesn't work for you? [23:18] A BIOS password is only good if people don't reset the CMOS. lol [23:18] gnoift, I checked it and changed composite to 1, I'm restarting X [23:18] Eagle2160, try to ping irc.freenode.net [23:18] But it's a good measure. [23:18] there are also backdoors in older bioses [23:18] MrObvious: Full disk encryption is the only choice for the truly paranoid.

Do I type out that whole path just like that or do I switch to the folder and then execute 'start'? [23:19] ArthurArchnix: Lol. What do you use to run that? [23:19] Hello? I'm running Ubuntu fiesty fawn (gnome) and my daughter got rid of my lauch bar (top of screen) and I don't know how to get it back [23:19] nickrud: But, if I set a password, the other users can't access the system. [23:19] DRaggin: sudo /etc/init.d/networking start [23:19] MrObvious: It's a default install option when using 7.1 alternate cd. [23:19] what are you talking about tacone? [23:19] gnoift - thanks :) I'll try that [23:19] francesco: you could find some encrypted filesystem [23:19] primanox007: did you try adding a new panel? [23:19] francesco: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems [23:20] primanox007, you can right click on the buttom panel in the PROPER place and get a 'New Panel' menu item. [23:20] gnoift, I did it but I get the same, glx is loaded, I didn't change anything, any ideas? [23:20] ArthurArchnix: If I was paranoid about data I would encrypt the data I needed encrypted. [23:20] primanox007, but clicking on the proper place can be a little hard if the panel is full of stuff. :) [23:20] gnoift, I changed composite under extensions to 1 only [23:20] primanox007, add a panel from a current panel [23:20] Guys, although I encrypt the system, the other users could delete my data, right? [23:20] chuy_max: hang on a second let me check [23:20] primanox007, make sure you lock the panel this time :) [23:20] anyone know how to play asx video files with ubuntu?

Those two things will give you essentially what you want, unless a cracker takes a whack at it [23:22] iCEifer: I literally typed in Google play asx linux [23:22] gnoift, I didn't add it, it was already there [23:22] spencer70: How much are you swapping?

How do you move that (within the panel) to the far left?

[23:45] nickrud ok first of all it does not have that option second of all i have tryed that atleast 5 times already and it is not working! [23:45] imaginator, to find out, which devices are plugged [23:45] happy1: bzip2 -d $file $destination ? [23:45] sveakex: Could be missing. Is it possible he never actually installed it? How many hard-drive's does he have? [23:45] arag0rn: i'm not really familiar w/ 64bit, but i wouldn't think so. [23:45] Eagle2160: then maybe you have a bad disk. Did you run the disk check utility on the startup screen? [23:45] i have gutsy with intel 945GM and xserver 1.3 [23:45] and I've never heard of Windows touching grub unless one reinstalls windows [23:45] javaccen: what's your mtu size? [23:45] gnoift: 7.10 64 bit. Odd-rationale sent me http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=625975 and the solution seems to be in rolodoom's post. [23:45] Eagle2160, what options do you have? [23:45] everything should work fine, i intel does not lie, imaginator [23:45] arthurarchnix, he has 2 hdd, his windows partition is smaller than before atleast. [23:46] gnoift: 1500 [23:46] erle-: the video card driver you have may not be compatible with the xrandr extension. [23:46] nickrud yes it is a good disk but all the option on there say start and install or just boot but it will not install from the begining [23:46] i am not sure if the switch supports jumbo frame [23:46] IndyGunFreak, and I've never heard of Windows touching grub unless one reinstalls windows..so this kind of confuses me [23:46] krim, so it's working alright now? i'm also running 64 and it worked out the box [23:46] imaginator, it is [23:46] javaccen, what's it set on the switch? [23:46] arag0rn: very true.... so how ar eyou here right now?... are yo on the live CD? [23:46] imaginator, there are official howtos by intel [23:46] IndyGunFreak, no a different machine :) [23:46] Eagle2160: Some machines have problems installing from the live cd. You may have to try the alternate one from releases.ubuntu.com/7.10 [23:46] arag0rn: oh ok. [23:47] erle-: oh, so are you sure you're using the proper Intel driver in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [23:47] arag0rn: the pc thats messed up, is it running XP? [23:47] imaginator, i don't have an xorg.conf [23:47] IndyGunFreak, yep [23:47] i am not sure the switch can be configured? [23:47] gnoift: Nope, I uninstalled virtualbox from the repositories and downloaded the deb, but when I tried to install it it said that it couldn't because it had unmet dependencies. [23:47] can somenoe help me get my X working again [23:47] imaginator, the official driver by intel is free software [23:47] nickrud no all i need to do is install it from the begining how do i do that the cd is working fine all i need to do is restart it from the begining [23:47] i seemed to have crashed it [23:47] erle-: so you're trying to do a config-less X11? [23:48] arag0rn: well, if you can get an XP boot disk, and get to DOS, you can run fixmbr and fixboot that will erase the masterboot record, and the 1st boot sector, which should clear out grub, and allow you to boot straight to Windows [23:48] X is evil :( [23:48] krim: apt-get install -f ? [23:48] it's especially evil if it break! [23:48] imaginator, i want to do it by randr - dynamically [23:48] sveakex: If it installed normally, without problems (e.g., without aborting the grub install) then what's seemingly happened is that grub has been installed to the wrong hard-drive. If your friend is putting windows and ubuntu on one hard-drive and just using the second as a shared drive, the simplest solution is to unplug the second unused drive. Boot up the live cd and reinstall grub. [23:48] since gutsy there is no need for xorg.conf, im [23:48] Eagle2160: it boots to the live cd desktop? Double click the Install Icon. If that does not work, your machine won't install from the live cd, and you will need the alternate [23:48] : how you testing the speed, ftp? [23:48] gnoift: Thanks :D [23:49] hello i'm having problems with video playback on my laptop with an nvidia 4200 go. i get a horizontal strobing line about an inch from the top of the video. anybody else ever get this problem? [23:49] gosh dang it i hate this you dont learn anything by formatting and reinstalling all the time [23:49] gnoift: iperf, but ftp speed is the same [23:49] if not how did you install vnidia [23:49] but this might be what i have to do [23:49] nickrud it will not install like that because the original install did not completely install correctly about half waay through it quit out i just need to start it from scratch again [23:49] l337_n166a: gnome can't switch apps across virtual desktops afaik. http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12896&highlight=alt+tab+desktops [23:49] IndyGunFreak, thanks..that way I'll have at least one OS up :) [23:49] krim: it installed the missing dependancies ? [23:49] Eagle2160: you are not listening. Double clicking that starts it from scratch. [23:49] aszwet1: is the video choppy? [23:49] is there any conventional way to change my default video program in linux? [23:50] javaccen: have you tried bwm? [23:50] gnoift: It sure did [23:50] arag0rn: yeah,t hats what i'm thinking, then once you do that, you can either 1. reinstall 32bit ubuntu(if you think thats the prob), or attempt to use the Live CD to reinstall Grub*(which i can't really help w/, sorry) [23:50] I just purchased a 160GB hd. I want to format it ext3, partion editor does not see it. do i have to mount it first? how please [23:50] grekkos, depends on your WM [23:50] DrMitch: i thought so... i'm using Gnome... is there a gconf key for it? [23:50] rredd4: is it an external driver or an internal drive? [23:51] l337_n166a: The best you can do with a default ubuntu install is to assign your desktops shortcut keys, for a quick switch to them, then alt-tab. E.g., Alt-1 is desktop 1, alt-2, etc... [23:51] imaginator internal slave drive [23:51] arthurarchnix, ok, does ubuntu by default install on the wrong hdd? :S [23:51] rredd4: does it show up in your dmesg? [23:51] Johnny_5, it's not a different color or anything, it just kinda strobes [23:51] IndyGunFreak, would you think installing ubuntu on a different physical hard drive would help ? [23:51] sveakex: In my personal experience here and on the forums ubuntu installer and grub do not handle installations with dual-boot/dual-sata-drives very well. [23:52] IndyGunFreak, and I've already tried the Live CD grub thing..not very successful :) [23:52] arag0rn: ok, so thats no joy. [23:52] oh cool, KDE4 is out [23:52] http://blog.sillica.com/2008/01/11/koopa-died-in-a-haberdashery-accident/ [23:52] where is the right place to permanently change your environment path variable in ubuntu?? [23:52] ArthurArchnix: it was a prob with the GL desktop, and the v-desktop switcher that caused it - i told gl desktop prefs that i had 2 columns, 1 row, but the pager only had 1x1. setting the pager to 2x1 gave me back the two desktops, but it hid all the windows i was using :-( [23:52] Ok, when I finally get ubuntu installed, will my swap partition make up for my small ram? ram=256 swap=1 gig === W6JCN is now known as aldkhasldkfhasd [23:52] arag0rn: well, you'll have a bunch of space that Windows won't be able to see on your primaryd rive(however big your ubuntu partition is).. so you'd have to partition/reformat it also. [23:52] arthusarchnix, so the best solution is to take away one hdd or use another distro? [23:52] can someone tell me how to stop cron from emailing me all the time? [23:52] :( how can i repair my X i was trying to install the latest nvidia drivers and my drivers were fine [23:53] but then my X server will no longer load [23:53] ArthurArchnix, interesting..I'm facing a dual boot, dual sata drive problem too [23:53] imaginator not sure, looked but not sure what to look for. [23:53] qwaz: crontab -e -u $username [23:53] sveakex: whats the issue.. that hardl seems like a solution [23:53] i did apt-get remove nvidia-flx and then reboot and x still will not load [23:53] qwaz: comment the line that's doing it maybe [23:53] ArthurArchnix: i've had the same problem, but only with debian based nixes - i need to change my disk boot priority if there's a problem, which there almost always is after install and then fix things in /boot/grub/menu.lst and change hda0 to hda1/2/3 etcetera [23:53] imaginator can i look with a more specific command? [23:53] rredd4: most likely something named sda or sdb [23:53] JRU909: when that swap starts to get full, you are gonna get disk thrashing and a nearly useless desktop. You should max out at around 512mg swap [23:53] l337_n166a: all the jobs are emailing me [23:53] rredd4: dmesg | grep disk or dmesg | grep drive or some variant of that should work [23:54] i have a partition that says im not allowed to write to it how can i write files to it [23:54] Apparently my login screen has a different resolution(1900x1080) than my desktop resolution(1280x1024). Is there anyway to fix my login window to show a resolution of 1280x1024? [23:54] IndyGunFreak, yea that too :)..should'nt be a problem once I get ubuntu working [23:54] sveakex: No, certainly not the best. I said the simplest. Once you've got ubuntu installed then you plug the other drive in and edit grub manually. Here's a link that I'm currently working on with someone on the forums that might explain more: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=664864 [23:54] I am testing my wireless network with airsnort... how many packets do I need and how many "Interesting" / "Unique" to crack the WEP key ? And will airsnort crack the key by itself or do I need to do something after I have collected enough packets? [23:54] nickrud: yet again, you have the advice, thank you, is it ok to pm you if I have any other problems? [23:54] qwaz: maybe you have to config cron - maybe a conf in /etc [23:54] arag0rn: good luck.. never heard that one, doesn't make any sense, i guess worst comes to worst(assuming you have a reasonably current backup), you could completely reinstall both OS's [23:54] gnoift: Yeah, so maybe another distro like fedora 8 or opensuse is an option for people who are in those situations. Any positive experience? [23:55] imaginator sdb attached scsi disk (its really a eide) [23:55] JRU909: you should ask here on the mainline, because others here know a lot more than I do. I had a 256 ram machine, that's why I answered [23:55] how come i cannot write to one of the partition on my computer [23:55] spencer70: what version of ubuntu are you using? [23:55] IndyGunFreak, my friend installed ubuntu on his computer with 2 hdd, and now it boots exactly like it did before, he told me he claims he installed grub on hd0 [23:55] adub: you might want to try and move the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file away and then restarting X or reinstalling your driver [23:55] imaginator what is PM: resume from disk failed. ? [23:55] nickrud:k, thank again [23:55] arag0rn: You're have a grub problem? [23:55] IndyGunFreak, agreed :)..just poped the cd back in [23:55] ArthurArchnix, yep [23:56] sveakex: are you on a RAID? [23:56] IndyGunFreak 7.10 i just need to change permissions but im not sure how [23:56] rredd4: the Linux eide layer uses SCSI emulation for various reasons. [23:56] arag0rn: Just scrolling up to find it and see if it's possible to avoid a reinstall. [23:56] IndyGunFreak, my friend, don't think so why? [23:56] * Aeleon FLIPS OUT ON WINSCP AND ROOT. [23:56] ArthurArchnix: I've gotten sidux to work out the box and sabayon aswell, debian stable/testing is a bit strange when it gets to that [23:56] Root doesn't have a password, right? [23:56] imaginator ok, how do i format it ext3? [23:56] Aeleon: correct [23:56] unless i set one. [23:57] thank you, nick. [23:57] sveakex: well, whoever is having the problems... i've had issues w/ dual booting on two hard drives, when the two hard drives were on a RAID.. other than thta though, its easy [23:57] IndyGunFreak: 7.10 i just need to change permissions but im not sure how [23:57] rredd4: first verify that the kernel has attached to the device [23:57] Aeleon: again correct :) [23:57] spencer70: ok, sorry don't have an answer [23:57] ArthurArchnix, I've been trying to install gutsy on my intel core 2 duo. It already has windows.Well it installed alright and booted fine into linux, but when I booted into windows and did a reboot.. I could never again see the grub scren..it just reboots again and again...pasted the problem again === aldkhasldkfhasd is now known as Ttech [23:57] ArthurArchnix: but this is on y nforce4 motherboard, the problem might be fixed now [23:57] uh, [23:57] Apparently my login screen has a different resolution(1900x1080) than my desktop resolution(1280x1024). Is there anyway to fix my login window to show a resolution of 1280x1024? It used to be 1280x1024, but randomly changed. I did not play with any configurations before this started happening. [23:57] rredd4: you need to create a partition. you can use parted or many other tools. I'm not sure why the Ubuntu tools aren't working [23:57] i can't ssh to my box with the username root though, can i? [23:58] rredd4: then it's a matter of mkfs.ext3, and adding it to your /etc/fstab [23:58] Aeleon: no, you can't [23:58] Does anyone know how to change the read/write permission of a partition [23:58] IndyGunFreak, ok, i told him we will reinstall it again together, then it hopefully will work. [23:58] sp0ro: check /etc/X11/xorg.conf , there should be a Modes line near the end. Set that to the res you want [23:58] spencer: im pretty sure you can chmod it like any other folder after you assign a mount point to it [23:58] sveakex: yeah.., hopefully it works, i've had very little problem when installing Windows on one drive, and Linux on the other(its how i learned) [23:58] imaginator when i open gparted, only sda shows [23:59] IndyGunFreak, he had both OS's on the same drive [23:59] jabagawel: how do you chmod [23:59] hey, quick question, is there some Linux equivalent to NetSend for Windows? [23:59] arag0rn: What's the hardware setup? And you installed, after install you remove cd and it boots into grub, you booted linux. Then rebooted again, and chose windows (through grub), then a reboot, and grub was gone and windows boots all the time? [23:59] sveakex: i understand that.. [23:59] Evening all. If I've ssh'd into another box, can I pull that X session to my client box via xforward, without restarting what is running on the server box? [23:59] i, using an old emachines celeron 990MHz 128MB of ram and liveCD ubuntu 7.10, it can not even detect the video correctly even at safe grafiks, any suggestion? [23:59] hello [23:59] anyone have experience with airsnort ? [23:59] sp0ro: you can check /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see where the dirrerence is and only keep the resolutions you need but make sure you make a backup cause if that file gets messed it's not always so easy to fix. [23:59] rredd4: oh, ok. I wonder, could it be a hardware issue? Did you do a cable select mode? could it be set as a master instead of a slave?
