[00:00] dannyboy79: because /etc/rc.local is run as root anyway [00:00] LjL, yes I understand how that works, but the exit status there is fairly trivial, it is just for display purposes, it doesn't actually affect any execution, are you saying rc.local is that? like if you have exit 1, does it just sort of ignore and keep going or does it stop down? [00:00] un_op: well, I need to run that one as well as another one for the ide controller. that one is for the sata controller [00:00] i have a problme [00:00] Michoacano, closer ;) [00:00] dannyboy79, then place each of those commands in /etc/rc.local .. each on it's own line above "exit 0" [00:00] soundray: ok, thanks [00:00] Michoacano: describe your problem. Keep it on one line please [00:00] anybody know any additional drivers that need to be installed for visual effects [00:01] soundray, ok [00:01] djsnoopy: Are you running an ati video card... mobility 7500 per chance [00:01] does anybody else have a missing pstats python module? [00:01] soundray: you could use wep and use ssh tunnels to route traffic for specfic ports [00:01] well, my question is offt-topic.... but maybe someone can answer them: how can I convert openoffice master documents to PDF in batch mode? [00:01] djsnoopy: check Restricted Drivers Manager to see if your vidcard driver is listed in there [00:02] No takers? http://pastebin.com/d7f42b5aa [00:02] bruenig: i don't know to be honest, however files in /etc/init.d may depend on other ones, so they're probably not started at all if the ones they depend upon failed. now, i doubt anything depends on rc.local... but it still follows the conventions. why is it so terrible anyway? it's just a matter of... not removing that exit lnie. [00:02] I'm getting desktop effects could not be enabled [00:02] When I try to install the latest updates, I get these errors: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52502/ [00:02] soundray, you said something about VPNs improving security without the need for WEP/WPA .. can i ask you to elaborate please - out of curiosity [00:02] i use windows [00:02] if I run compiz I get .: 3: Can't open /etc/xdg/compiz/compiz-manager.ubuntu [00:02] johnficca: me too..

I upgraded to a geforce 6200. Which nvidia driver do I need to upgrade to and is there anything special I need to do besides select the nvidia-glx-new driver in synaptic? [00:03] fbc_: did you install kde 4? [00:03] LjL, it seems to be an unnecessary complication is all, like on arch for instance, they just check for rc.local and run it and exit status doesn't factor in at all, I mean exit 0 basically does that because it makes the script ignore the real status by creating an artifical one [00:03] un_op: I'm not sure whether it's a workable solution to create a reasonable level of security -- just discussing it with daxroc [00:03] hi [00:03] johnficca: Nope.. what do you get when you type compiz --replace [00:03] so instead of making rc.local ignore its real exit status, why not have init ignore rc.local's exit status [00:03] is it possible to install Ubuntu to my RAM? [00:04] I think it would create a slight lag [00:04] bruenig, but indeed if what matters to *you* is the exist status of the stuff you can *from* rc.local, you can remove the exit 0. [00:04] blizzow: that should do it [00:04] does anyone use a toshiba laptop with fnfx? [00:04] fbc_: the same thing [00:04] perhaps [00:04] johnficca: same thign as what? [00:04] soundray, some custom firmware for routers may be more secure but i have no clue [00:04] fbc_: .: 3: Can't open /etc/xdg/compiz/compiz-manager.ubuntu [00:04] i believe your router has an option to use PPTPD, i dont think it will work, unless the router has caps [00:04] when i type apt-get install kde4-core i got this error = http://www.pastebin.no/3142 [00:05] if you use router [00:05] openwrt can to point to point wep with traffic routed through a vpn === pauldy_ is now known as pauldy [00:05] johnficca: see something like this? http://pastebin.com/d7f42b5aa [00:05] Gin: The livecd runs in ram and does not write to the hard drive unless you ask it to.

[00:06] fbc_: nope I don't see that [00:06] daxroc: thanks, I'll look into it [00:06] !blacklist [00:06] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [00:06] Michoacano: really? [00:06] soldats, errm -- debatable but anyway -- point taken [00:06] !xbug | c0m4 [00:06] broken, what do you mean boot up screen? like grub or what [00:06] yes [00:06] dudes [00:06] Jack_Sparrow, any way to copy the entire ubuntu OS to the ram first ? rather then read from cd when it needs the program? [00:06] dgjones: ? [00:06] soundray: iirc there is definatly lag from that tho because of the vpn [00:06] i reinstall windowws [00:06] bruenig, no load up screen like after grub ubuntu doesn't have a little orange bar [00:06] Michoacano: that guy was evil, I'm sorry.

It is fixed now, just update your packages list from Synaptic/Adept or « sudo apt-get update » [00:06] Michoacano: you'll have to reinstall Ubuntu [00:06] :( [00:06] bruenig, then it just goes to my login and i can't use my mouse or keyboard (laptop) [00:06] soldats, thanks but i've been in here quite a few years to know ;) [00:06] fbc_, see what ubotu posted and reverse it [00:06] my files [00:07] my music [00:07] my [00:07] videos [00:07] :( [00:07] Michoacano, stop [00:07] Michoacano, that command removes every file in your system. you shouldn't blindly type what people tell you. also, [00:07] !enter | Michoacano [00:07] Michoacano: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[00:08] Jack_Sparrow, if it runs from ram, then firefox should start faster... than a normal OS on a hdd.

[00:15] benny269: it works on Windoes partitions [00:15] * IndyGunFreak has never ever had luck PCLinuxOS. [00:15] whats the app called to change compiz settings [00:15] * SpeakerMania says PCLinuxOS is not a very good choice [00:15] benny269: yeah, it will work for the windows partition [00:15] talking on linux distros, have anyone here experimented nexenta or desktopbsd? [00:15] IndyGunFreak gota a addie for that os [00:15] benny269: you can get a version for Windows with Cygwin, but you can't image a Windows partition while you're running from it afaik [00:15] isn't PCLOS basically Mandriva with different shininess? [00:16] misslecommander: I am afraid I dont understand the question.. [00:16] soundray: got any suggestions [00:16] nah its fedora [00:16] TellStar: for what?..

Now it hangs while the CD-ROM driver loads. [00:16] can you suggest distinct software for imaging which is best for windows? [00:16] Nihilist_Nerd: PCLinuxOS and Mandriva used to be closely related, but they've drifted over the last couple years.

[00:28] is there a compiz optimization guide out there someplace? ie, settings in ccsm, settings xorg.conf, settings in nvidia-settings that can be tweaked for speed [00:28] penol: if canonical started that campaign ubuntu would get a lot of support [00:28] blizzow: i am using the new nvidia drivers now, but when i first put them in, they system was really unstable. thats from my personal experience [00:28] What am I looking for? [00:28] anyone got an idea how to backup the current system configuration so i don need to install all my packages again? [00:28] thanx a e ways Mr. Jack [00:28] I'll pastebin [00:28] haha [00:28] patric: there's a program for that [00:28] patric: one sec, I'll find it [00:28] !clone > patric [00:28] ok that good [00:28] Jack_Sparrow thank you , saving bookmarks as i go along, and of course. my invaluable logfiles :) [00:28] Ok!

[00:32] Hello, what is the correct architecture for packages on GUTSY, i386 or... ? [00:32] Jack_Sparrow: I dont tend on gettin it, Btw is there a Client like Gametap? But for Linux and opensource or closed what ever [00:32] has anyone here got a SideArch keyboard 0518:0001 EzKEY Corp.)...? [00:32] Is there a per-user configuration file for X? [00:32] what arch are u running [00:32] Scunizi: that's well possible, but my graphics expertise doesn't extend to fax ;) [00:32] i386 or x64 [00:32] Jack_Sparrow: i have tried the binary drivers [00:32] I want my dual monitors configured properly. [00:32] Darkmystere_: Never heard of gametap.. not much of a gamer... [00:33] bye [00:33] They seem to work fine on the loggin screen, but not once I get to my desktop. [00:33] Help?

[00:33] Flannel: ok [00:33] michaelfavia: ati radeon X1300 [00:34] Scubar, but with i386 I won't get mmx support ... right? [00:34] just resize your main partition and create a new one from the free space [00:34] xybre_, sorry im an nvidia guy... good luck. [00:34] nvidia 5200 [00:34] mmx is an old instruction [00:34] please i need help please. I need help to share or bridge my wireless card and ethernet card [00:34] Jack_Sparrow, o :(. Argh, i want to get 3D acceleration working with my new card. I guess if i wanted it to work i'd be forced to go back to my x700 :( [00:34] yes, but unsupported on an i386 [00:34] Scunizi: I'm sure gimp lets you "explode" a multilayer image into separate images [00:34] soundray, indeed. [00:34] Can you tell me why the login screen shows as configured properly but gnome/xfce doesn't? [00:34] Scottc: If you resize a partition, any partition.. the uuid will change and require some editing on your part. Adding a partition below your install will change the numbers for all partitions past the one you created [00:34] can't imagine ubuntu running with i386 binaries. [00:35] soundray, never tried that.. [00:35] you can us GParted much like Partiton Magic , resizing partitions ? [00:35] michaelfavia, do you see anything I could change with my X config? [00:35] michaelfavia: can you give Scunizi (and me) a pointer on how to do it? [00:35] im gettin the i386 now because there seems to be more apps for it [00:35] cant even install opera on amd64 kubunut :( [00:35] syte: That nvidia card will give you good effects... when the drivers and monitor are setup correctly. [00:35] Scubar: vs. what? [00:35] what program launches " [00:35] Restricted Driver Manager [00:35] michaelfavia, please [00:35] Scubar: yeah just use 32bit [00:36] is there a reason i cant play some streaming videos on the net or they will start and then freeze [00:36] misslecommander: I've used gparted to resize an ntfs partition a couple of times...but onetime it really screwed up and I spent a few hours recovering the filesystem [00:36] it wont install at all though [00:36] Goodnight all... Play nice [00:36] pingu: No should be working [00:36] pingu: i rarely have a problem with flash or other formats these days [00:36] Could anyone help me with setting up my microphone?

[00:37] could tell u windows way easily [00:38] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:38] Scubar: yeah, it's just point and right-click [00:38] pike i tried firestarter but my xbox has problems connecting through xlink kai [00:38] ^^ read @ bassinboy [00:38] although the xbox did connect to the internet [00:38] Just connected my laptop to my PC (both run Ubuntu) by ethernet via a router. How can I access PC files through the laptop? [00:38] nemilar: when i first installed i wasnt expectng to have to make room for a swapdrive, so i will need to rezize one of them, so i can make use of it [00:38] nemilar: I've never really needed to bridge a connection [00:38] Someone told me that i should try apic in order to get my drivers to work. Does disabling apic affect the graphics card? [00:38] family: are you using static ip? im assuming you arent running dhcp server [00:38] so it works but doesnt work if that makes sence [00:39] pike on the ethernet card static ip yes [00:39] benny269: there's about a billion ways... Everything from Samba to SSHFS [00:39] family, so its' the same but different :) [00:39] wireless card no dhcp [00:39] family: oh so do you have that port forwarded in firestarter?

[00:45] lol flooding [00:45] I've never understood this - when you first install Ubuntu and add a new user, they can navigate, browse and read the files in other users home folders.../home/user1 etc. Why is this and is the only way to prevent it by denying access of your ~/ folder? [00:45] <^pipe^> i think i have this problem since i updated yesterday [00:45] ^pipe^: update the system to get the new xorg [00:45] ^pipe^: and how did you install vlc? [00:45] <^pipe^> sudo apt-get install vlc [00:45] benny269: are there any windows machines on the network you want to share with? [00:45] <^pipe^> i already had it installed [00:45] Scottc: hit 'Esc' key .. pick one of two OS on your box [00:46] ^pipe^: there was a bug in xorg packages earlier that ruined some java apps [00:46] <^pipe^> but since i had this problem i removed, deleted .vlc and install it again [00:46] <^pipe^> aha [00:46] and some wx apps like vlc [00:46] h1st0: vlc is written in java?? [00:46] nemilar: well the PC is actually a dual boot xp/ubuntu which im operating through ubuntu at the moment, but i want to access files on the windows partition [00:46] nemilar: no but who knows what else the bad update broke. [00:47] benny269: you can just mount the windows partition. [00:47] hmm [00:47] cvd: still here? [00:47] benny269: it usually is set up this way by default from the installer. [00:47] so ubuntu has no /etc/inittab... does init default to runlevel 2 or how is it specified? [00:47] benny269: once you've got sharing setup, just right-click on the folder you want to share and click "share folder" [00:47] yep [00:47] <^pipe^> ok, installing new xserver core [00:47] Do I need to get graphics card and sound card drivers for Ubuntu? [00:47] <^pipe^> i'll report back [00:47] <^pipe^> thanks [00:48] benny269: do and fdisk -l to figure out where your windows drive is. Then just mount that drive to a folder you want. [00:48] what soundray [00:48] imbezol: /etc/event.d is the replacement for inittab [00:48] benny269: ex: sudo mkdir /media/windows && mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows [00:48] How come wireshark shows no Interfaces Do i need somthing special to egt it to show my wireless interface? [00:48] Darkmystere_: run it as root? [00:48] cvd: do a "Insert Frame", then put your text in the frame. Click the frame so it's highlighted, then right-click and select Frame. On the Options tab, at the bottom, you can select the text direction. [00:48] Darkmystere_: it needs to run as root [00:48] theres two versions.. [00:49] 1 wireshark and the [00:49] ok thanks [00:49] Wireshark (as Root.. [00:49] use the second one [00:49] how, oops [00:49] hello there.. [00:49] h1st0: ok explain this a little more clearly. i have samba on both machines. mounting the drive does what? I want to be able to copy all files on the windows partition of the ubuntu PC onto the ubuntu laptop? [00:50] benny269: if you want to access files on your windows partition, it needs to be mounted..but typically ubuntu will do that for you on startup [00:50] the xserver pakage is really shure now ? [00:50] benny269: if you run the command 'mount' it will show you a list of mounted drives [00:50] i'm having some trouble with my wifi [00:50] benny269: you where talking about accessing your windows files on yoru dual boot system weren't you? [00:50] benny269: if you are talking about over the network samba is the way to go. [00:50] configure: error: *** uuid library (libuuid) not found [00:50] what does it mean? [00:50] h1st0: he wants to enable filesharing over the network, and also be able to access files on his windows partition under ubuntu [00:51] nickrud: ah. thanks. i see /etc/event.d/rc-default selects runlevel 2 if it doesn't see single on the commandline and no inittab exists [00:51] so I told him to enable sharing via samba [00:51] first: whenever i restart, networking config is lost and i have to reconfigure it in order to it to connect [00:51] nickrud: i wonder though.. what runs /etc/event.d/rc-default ? [00:51] i think benny might be confused between samba and sharing and mounting the partition [00:51] :| [00:51] okay i have prepared my question with more information http://www.pastebin.ca/861895 im trying to ics my eth and wlan card [00:51] benny269: well I was talking specifically about accesing your window partition on the dual boot machine. [00:51] benny269: but www.ubuntuguide.org has a great howto on setting up samba [00:51] nemilar: ok the windows drive is mounted and on the desktop but i want to access it over the network. also when i right-click share a file do i want to do it through the windows or unix networks? [00:51] samba might be difficult if both disks are in the same pc :) [00:52] configure: error: *** uuid library (libuuid) not found what does it means??? [00:52] and second, after a while of running transmission (bittorrent client) connection is lost and the only way to get it working again is to restart [00:52] Scubar: he's talking about over the network [00:52] <^pipe^> hi guys [00:52] <^pipe^> vlc working now [00:52] <^pipe^> many thanks [00:52] ah [00:52] dang it eth1 is suppose to be eth0 [00:52] OK, I just performed the latest updates that were available today from the normal ubuntu repositories and when I attempt to log in (enter username and password) it just recycles back to the log in. What's up with that? [00:52] benny269: use windows networks, SMB [00:52] benny269: SMB = samba [00:52] HiddenHeroDK: do sudo apt-get install libuuid [00:52] imbezol: it's part of the upstart system, I 'believe' init calls upstart. But you should probably cruise wiki.ubuntu.com to get the right info [00:52] h1st0: I do want to access it over the network but i cant understand those guides. too much jargon [00:53] today i decided to check out the gnash plugin, so i removed the flashplugin-nonfree packaged and installed mozilla-plugin-gnash. after playing with it, i removed it and reinstalled flashplugin-nonfree. sound in flash is not working for me if a multimedia program such as rhythmbox since i did so. i'm using hardy.. any help? [00:53] * IcemanV9 is confused with vbox & bridging network - arrgh! [00:53] benny269: just right click ont he folder you want ot share and enable sharing [00:53] *such as rhythmbox is open at the same time [00:53] gabspeck: you should ask on #ubuntu+1 about hardy [00:53] benny269: if you want it to not prompt for user and password you will have to edit a file [00:53] can anyone tell the name of a text mode X server configurator ? [00:53] the xserver pakage is really shure now ? [00:53] nickrud: oh ok thanks and sorry [00:53] Tomasso: sudo dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:53] benny269: sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf and change the line from security = user to security = share [00:54] benny269: it's best to use a user/password setup, especially if you have wifi [00:54] okay heres the new mock up http://www.pastebin.ca/861900 this is exactly how i tried to ics my connections [00:54] for some reason my gnome only shows a clock a the beginning, and it keeps there forever [00:54] nickrud: heh.. ok.. 'upstart' is new to me too... [00:54] gabspeck: most of the people here don't run hardy yet, so simply don't know. Wasn't meant to be harse :) [00:54] h1st0: i've shared the folders i want but when i click on the icon for the PC drive on the laptop it just says folder content could not be displayed? [00:54] wonderful! [00:55] benny269: did you make sure you shared it for windows users? [00:55] nemilar: its a hardwired connection and a temporary setup for saving files while i reinstall windows [00:55] Thanks to Ubuntu my windows XP bluescreens on startup! [00:55] excellent [00:55] stupid windows xp [00:55] sweet.. it worked! [00:55] so much for dual booting [00:55] h1st0: how do i share it for windows users? [00:55] lol [00:55] benny269: oh, if it's only temperary, you might as well just use sftp or something, instead of going through the hassle of setting up samba [00:55] just restore the mbr [00:55] imbezol: I read up on it briefly, but I found what I needed in /etc/event.d. I'm more of a switch toggler than a switch maker, so I didn't go much deeper [00:55] benny269: when you right click and select share it has a checkbox for windows [00:55] h1st0: yes i did that [00:55] then setup the bootloader again n see if it still does it [00:55] now I get to waste time making this shit work [00:55] im going to check with kubuntu also [00:56] nemilar: i dont care how i set it up as long as it works [00:56] and if I have to reinstall winxp, all the drivers, and all the thousands of security updates i'm going to be really pissed [00:56] soundry, doesnot work [00:56] nemilar: the quickest and easiest solution is fine [00:56] nickrud: i originally started just wanted to change what started at boot and installing and running rcconf did that for me but i like to take things apart ): [00:56] whats the bluescreen error [00:57] should give u debug info that u can google [00:57] make it easier to fix [00:57] it won't let me read [00:57] it just reboots === julio is now known as julio14 [00:57] oh u have it tset to autoreboot [00:57] lol [00:57] can that be changed? [00:57] fun fun [00:57] I never set it to that, it probably defaults [00:57] yea [00:57] nemilar: what is a simple alternative to samba? [00:57] thats its default to reboot on bsod [00:57] Anyone here using ubuntu on ps3 ? [00:57] please !! [00:57] benny269: just install the package openssh-server [00:57] h1st0: what is a simple alternative to samba? [00:57] i just resize the frame to one character, so automaticaly do it [00:58] benny269: then use the GFTP program to transfer the files, using your login name and password [00:58] benny269: there isn't samba just works [00:58] benny269: easy as pie [00:58] well... I guess Ubuntu can't be trusted to resize partitions [00:58] benny269: can the other pcs see the folder? [00:58] anyone using Ubuntu on ps3 ?? [00:58] if u got ur winxp cd pop that in and use the recovery console [00:58] thats what I intend to do [00:58] nemilar: which program do i install on which machine? [00:58] what do I install to get gcc and everyting in need to make and compile [00:58] osmosis: build-essentials [00:58] benny269: on the machine that has the files you want, install openssh-server [00:58] recovery console...indispensible [00:58] Hi, can anyone help me connect to my office's server, I can't figure out the GUI menu for it. [00:58] and hopefully it'll work [00:58] h1st0: the laptop can see the PC hard drive folder [00:58] nemilar: no just samba will do the trick [00:59] it should work fine [00:59] benny269: okay? [00:59] benny269: then from either machine, run GFTP (installed in ubuntu by default in the internet menu), login to the other mahcine and transfer the files [00:59] then ull just have to setup the bootloader again [00:59] I have an IP for the server, with a username and pw for the account on the server. [00:59] benny269: open a terminal and sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf [00:59] scubar [00:59] h1st0: this is easier, he's only doing it once, and he's wiping afterwards [00:59] Does anyone know how to fix "Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat'" while setting up the microphone in the pref>sound panel in 7.10? [00:59] h1st0: don't make him edit crap in the terminal if he doesn't have to [00:59] hey could you help me you were before [00:59] http://www.pastebin.ca/861900 [00:59] h1st0: which machine? [00:59] nemilar: he does to get samba working [00:59] huadpe: is there an ssh server running or what else? [00:59] benny269: the linux computer with the share [00:59] h1st0: he doesn't have to use samba [01:00] <{Nathan}> My mirrors are really slow (about 30KiB/s). How can I pick or find new ones that hopefully give me better speeds? [01:00] nemilar: well ssh is not what he wants [01:00] h1st0: he can just transfer the files using sftp, really easily [01:00] {Nathan}: you could always try torrent. :) [01:00] nemilar: but he wants windows networking out of ubuntu [01:00] it's a windows server, i don't need shell access, i just need a file browser [01:00] h1st0: he WANTS to transfer a bunch of files as a backup for a format [01:00] <{Nathan}> theunixgeek: I'm talking about apt-get [01:00] family : might be worth waiting for one of the expert ppl to help u with that [01:00] <{Nathan}> theunixgeek: my sources.list [01:00] h1st0: no, that isn't what he wants [01:00] huadpe: or have you tried to point your brower to that ip? [01:00] I don't think my account on it allows me to have a shell [01:00] {Nathan}: oh [01:00] my screen resolution just reset to 640x480, for what reason might it do that ? [01:00] 50hz [01:00] benny269: The linux computer is the one with the share right? [01:00] im still learnin linux myself so i wouldnt be much use [01:00] thanks :) [01:01] huadpe: browser, even [01:01] andi5: tried on firefix, didnt load anything [01:01] nemilar: why would he install all that garbage rather than just edit one line in a config? [01:01] i'm having some trouble with my wifi [01:01] and second, after a while of running transmission (bittorrent client) connection is lost and the only way to get it working again is to restart [01:01] first: whenever i restart, networking config is lost and i have to reconfigure it in order to it to connect [01:01] h1st0: because it's quicker [01:01] system locks up, then video reset to 640x480, freezes happen, but why it randomly change video res ? [01:01] nemilar: not to mention installing sftp onthe other computer [01:01] what are u trying to do exactely with ur wired and wireless ? [01:01] h1st0: both are linux comps, the PC has a windows partition where the files i want are kept, the laptop is where i want to access them [01:01] !resolution | misslecommander_ [01:01] misslecommander_: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [01:01] h1st0: you only have to have sftp on one computer [01:01] sftpd, more correctly [01:01] benny269: so the files you want are on the windows machine? [01:01] or, sshd+sftp-server [01:02] h1st0: there are no windows machines, if you are paying attention [01:02] h1st0: there's a duel-boot but both are under linux [01:02] huadpe: if you do not know how to connect to it, you might want to try a port scan on it :-) ... but make sure that you do not get blocked completely [01:02] IcemanV9: thank you [01:02] h1st0: yes [01:02] When you first install Ubuntu and add a new user, they can navigate, browse and read the files in other users home folders.../home/user1 etc. Is the only way to prevent it by denying access of your ~/ folder? [01:02] nemilar: then he just needs to mount the windows drive and share under NFS no software to install [01:02] oh yeah need to find out the model of a motherboard how do I do so and also need to fins out which type of RAM sticks it takes? [01:02] u trying to share ur wired card to broadcast over ur wireless ? [01:02] @ family [01:02] nemilar: when i search for openssh-server in synaptic nothing comes up? [01:02] h1st0: but this is easier than editing .conf files, which is a painintheass [01:02] benny269: then just boot in windows and share the files. Just browse the network in ubuntu and download them. [01:03] benny269: just do an apt-get install openssh-server [01:03] benny269: or that works, too, what h1st0 just said [01:03] andi5: It seems like there should be a simple solution for this. The only point of this server is for remote login. [01:03] * IcemanV9 gives up on vbox & bridging network [01:03] Pirate_Hunter,look it up in your cmputer manual or or the makers website for the specs [01:03] h1st0: i cant boot the windows drive thats the problem, the reason im doing the reinstall [01:03] oh, lol, then it doesn't work [01:03] benny269: okay well then mount the windows drive in ubuntu [01:03] benny269: and share the files [01:04] why cant u boot the windows drive ? [01:04] nemilar: either way he has to mount the drive [01:04] it's already mounted dude [01:04] benny269: opena terminal on the dual boot machine [01:04] pay attention plz [01:04] huadpe: "remote login" meaning what if not shell (telnet or ssh)? is there some special windows server program running you did not mention or vnc? [01:04] gotta be a reason why u cant boot it , its most likely fixable [01:04] benny269: well he didn't say that. [01:04] h1st0: its open [01:04] benny269: if the windows partition is already mounted just share it using nfs [01:04] Having trouble with a multiplayer game being unable to resolve the local host IP. The same system has a windows partition and it works fine from XP so I dont think it can be a router issue. My understanding is that linux just gives the remote host the Address 127.0.0.1 [01:04] It's windows server 2003. I just want to be able to have it in a file browser and download some files. [01:04] benny269: then browse the network on the other machine and you can copy the files [01:05] Pelo: the comp aint mine it was left by a friend but since it seems he dont want it, I wish to buy parts for it but i dont know what is the make of the motherboard and the type of RAM it takes "he took those out and his no comp sap so he wouldt know" [01:05] benny269: assuming both are running linux === thinh is now known as thinh1977 [01:05] PaPaFD: did you butcher the /etc/hosts file ? [01:05] scubar @ family? [01:05] PaPaFD: there should be a line that says 127.0.0.1 localhost and not much else [01:05] benny269: on the dualboot machine right click onthe mount and share using nfs. On the other linux machine just browse the network and copy the files [01:05] ur trying to share ur wired connection from ur wireless internet connection ? [01:05] IcemanV9: i will run it in this mode for a while, see if i get the freezes, for diag reasons. [01:06] huadpe: have you tried to access it with the file browser via places > connect to server? [01:06] Pirate_Hunter, try opening the box and looking at the mobo for an ident number, then google it [01:06] h1st0: i have but it doesnt work! both run linux, the laptop has the name of the pc showing as a samba folder, double-clicking it gives an error [01:06] im trying to share my wireless with my wired :) [01:06] linxeh I tried adding my hostname didnt help [01:06] Pirate_Hunter, notmuch I can dofor you this front , maybe taking it to a local store they can try and figure it out [01:06] benny269: don't use samba use NFS [01:06] h1st0: he would have been transfering the files already with sftp [01:06] IcemanV9: can i run > sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from Recovery Mode, if need be ? [01:06] andi5: I cant figure out what to type in to the connect to server menu. There is no password option in any of the choices. [01:06] yes i read what you said again yep thats it [01:06] hi all :) [01:06] PaPaFD: whats on the localhost line though? and whats in /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf ? [01:06] the xserver pakage is really shure now ? [01:06] benny269: they are both linux machines. I didn't understand that atfirst. If they are both linux just use NFS [01:06] Pirate_Hunter, is this a brand name computer ? like compact or dell ? [01:07] huadpe: i think it will ask you for a password at a later step [01:07] Pelo: nah i will find out some how, I already know its a dell comp lol [01:07] h1st0: whats nfs and HOW do i use it? [01:07] family: does your wireless router support a bridged mode? [01:07] http://www.pastebin.ca/861900 heres what i did scubar http://www.pastebin.ca/861900 [01:07] i have a problem installing software, i have a error message allways like this: http://pastebin.com/d4d04c018 [01:07] benny269: its the other checkbox when you right click and go to sharing. It says use unix NFS [01:07] anybody can dropme a line? [01:07] Pirate_Hunter, if you can figrue out the dell model from a tag on the case or someting , try figuring it out from the dell website [01:07] I have a question: is there a way to just copy the entire contents of a Linux system/partition onto an external harddrive? [01:07] benny269: read the NFS howto, or check the ubuntu wiki (or the billion and one google hits for "NFS") [01:08] andi my ethernet and my wireless cards are all in one computer but yes my router supports bridge mode [01:08] il312, yes [01:08] linxeh: all of them read like an electronics manual [01:08] !backup | il312 [01:08] il312: There are many ways to back your system up.

[01:08] benny269: don't bother with NFS, it's not worth it...just install openssh-server, go to the other machine, gftp over and copy the files [01:08] have you tried this @ family http://www.howtoforge.com/internet-connection-sharing-masquerading-on-linux [01:08] how do I move windows to the top of the bootlist above ubuntu [01:09] can i run > sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg within RecoveryMode ? [01:09] hmm ill look at that [01:09] I can not longer log in normally...after entering my user/pass at the login, the screen drop to text mode and a few lines appear, the last of which is something like "running local startup scripts (/etc/rc.local)", after a brief pause, I am returned to the login screen. However, Failsafe GNOME works. My rc.local file doesn't have anything in it except comments and "exit 0". I did install, but have removed bootchart. Where sh [01:09] misslecommander, yes you can [01:09] benny269: I agree the documentation is a little hard to understand at first [01:09] Pelo: thank you [01:09] family: so you want to bridge two linux network devices? the bridge-utils package should help you [01:09] benny269: did you get it workign with nfs? [01:09] h1st0: trying to figure out which host to allow etc? [01:09] @andi5 I've been trying, It keeps failing. [01:10] andi ill take a look into that too [01:10] benny269: on the machine with the files, run 'sudo apt-get install openssh-server' and then go to the other machine, open gftp, enter the IP and your username/password of the other machine, and just copy the files [01:10] nemilar: let me finish this, if it doesnt work ill try your way [01:10] benny269: g/l [01:10] nemilar: thanks [01:10] huadpe: does it ask you for a password? [01:11] andi5: no, it just says "could not open ftp://editors@ip [break] service not available [01:11] h1st0: do i allow by hostname, ip address or network? [01:12] huadpe: i do not know the english term, but i assume you chose "windows share"? [01:12] how do I get rid of ubuntu so I only have windows [01:12] is there a program to transfer files to and from a window mobile phone [01:12] PaPaFD: you might want to remove FDLINUX from the localhost line and add a separate entry with its network IP (if you can). what game is having problems? [01:12] I don't need ubuntu anymore ,its more work then fun [01:12] benny269: that up to you. You can allow the hostname of the other computer or the ip adress of the other computer or the network.

[01:13] nemilar: samba is so much easier just changing one word int he config. from user to share [01:13] h1st0: what is the easiest to find out? i think i would prefer hostname but i need your help finding it again i cant remember what I set it to? [01:13] linxeh: IL2 would i want the IP at the router or the Actual IP I have on the internet? [01:13] nemilar: could one do that with a windows partitioning program? [01:13] h1st0: I'd argue that sftp is easier [01:13] k ty nemilar [01:13] good evening everyone [01:13] il312: windows can't read ext3 my default [01:13] benny269: what are the options for network [01:13] il312: it could be done in partition magic [01:13] benny269: is it an ip range? [01:13] u worked it out yet family ? [01:14] why did someone type !windows when I asked how to uninstall ubuntu [01:14] Sonic-O-Mega: http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [01:14] still trying [01:14] thats just random [01:14] :) [01:14] nemilar, fyi , gparted doesn't let you expand ntfs partitions, and removing the ubuntu partititon will break grub, he will need to repair is windows boot [01:14] im pretty sure i got it worked out for ya [01:14] k ty [01:14] I have a 7.04 system with two ATI cards using the radeon driver in mergedfb mode to give me an extended desktop. this worked great for many months. I've dist-upgraded it ot 7.10, and now the same xorg.conf doesn't seem to work. the screens are there, but they are mirrored now [01:14] Pelo: oooh good good good point [01:14] nemilar: Symantec's Partition Magic 8 recognizes it, but I haven't tried to edit the partitions at all through that. [01:14] oi [01:14] I can't seem to coerce the new system into doing what I want [01:14] h1st0: it asks for a network and netmask. i would prefer hostname tbh [01:14] Sonic-O-Mega, you want ot know hwo to make your windows the only os on yoru comp, ask in ##windows [01:14] tzanger, use a hammer. :) [01:14] i just deleted the iptables [01:14] how can I find out which partitions are which? [01:14] Dr_willis: the thought did cross my mind :-) [01:14] family : set your eth0 a private ip eg 192.168.1.1 [01:14] under ubuntu [01:15] set the pc ur trying to get setup on the shared conenction to a private ip [01:15] 192.168.1.2 [01:15] benny269: just do it nemilar's way if you don't want to edit config. [01:15] set the gateway as the 192.169.1.1 [01:15] k [01:15] h1st0: editing config files isn't something an end-user should have to do, ever [01:15] andi5: I got the server mounted on the windows option for "connect to server," but I can't display any content because i didn't get a password prompt [01:15] Hello, anyone know why Grub would post error 18 on a stable ( +3 month old) ubuntu install? [01:15] benny269: just FYI samba would be the best way but you're making it difficult not wanting to change one work in the config. [01:16] then in iptables put the following : iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE [01:16] hello, i have a problem installing software, i have a error message allways like this: http://pastebin.com/d4d04c018 [01:16] nemilar: not my fault the samba sharing in ubuntu is messed up from the factory. [01:16] h1st0: agreed [01:16] Sentix, possibly you upgraded the kernel and the grub menu.lst file was remade ? [01:16] h1st0: that's why I recommended sftp, no config files necessary [01:16] nemilar: true that. Samba should be configurable right from the share. [01:16] Hey folks, just had some questions cause I haven't used Linux on a desktop in a long long time, but I must say that first of all the folks who help put together this really did a nice job cause mostly everything worked right out of the box with no problems. [01:16] benny269: nemilar's option will be the easiest for you. [01:16] that should atleast get the pc ur trying to get on the net through the eth0 connection [01:17] Pelo: Don't think so, my wife's using the machine I haven't pushed a distro change or anything remotely close [01:17] h1st0: yeah, linux has _pathetic_ gui samba configuration, as far as I've had experience with === GodTodd_ is now known as GodTodd [01:17] Pelo: It dual boots vista, any chance M$ screwed something up? [01:17] zea: did you have file system failures? [01:17] h1st0: but then again, windows' sharing configuration isn't all fun and games, either. === rp3 is now known as Rp3 [01:17] Sentix, this is what error 18 means 18 : Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS [01:17] This error is returned when a read is attempted at a linear block address beyond the end of the BIOS translated area. This generally happens if your disk is larger than the BIOS can handle (512MB for (E)IDE disks on older machines or larger than 8GB in general). [01:17] h1st0: ok tell me what to change in config? [01:17] Pelo: Yeah I already read the error message, just doesn't make sense [01:17] andi5, i really dont know [01:17] I'm used to running Linux as a server though, so I'm familiar with enough commands and such, but when it comes to GUI specific stuff in Linux sometimes I'm lost [01:18] zea: you might want to take a look at /var/lib/dpkg/info/hal-info.list and see whether it contains a final newline [01:18] scubar https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing?highlight=%28connection%29%7C%28sharing%29%7C%28internet%29 this is the help file but i dont get it [01:18] if you install Ubuntu on a raid 0 system, wouldn't that improve the performance by 2x? [01:18] Gin, it would boost disk access.. yes.. but proberly not 2x. [01:18] performance of what? [01:18] hello [01:18] Sentix, I wouldn't go so far as to claim vista is the cause of this issue, can you try pastebin ing your menu.lst file to see if there is anything we can figure out from it ?

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) [01:19] Gin: it would improve read/write access on your disks, but not performance overall [01:19] benny269: change the line from Security = user to security = share [01:19] Is anyone having trouble downloading the latest security patch for Gutsy?? [01:19] benny269: then the network share should work from the other machine [01:19] I'm so far behind the times. I hadn't heard of OpenRT until tonight. [01:19] bobertdos, sudo apt-get update [01:19] nemilar, faster access means better performance right? [01:19] hi all [01:19] applications would start 2x faster [01:19] Gin: when doing things like working with large files, you'll see a performance difference [01:19] can someone help me? I'm having difficulty trying to install sun java runtime environment [01:19] Pelo: I'll see if I can figure something out w/Gparted and go from there [01:20] benny269: after that just sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [01:20] Rifleman_82, how are you trying to install it ? [01:20] !java | Rifleman_82 [01:20] Gin, faster access means.. faster access. :) which is part of overall performance.

Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [01:21] Gin: different things bottle-neck at different parts of the system. For example, encoding video will bottleneck the CPU, so having a raid-0 configuration won't improve that at all. But if you're doing something like, writing a huge file, or something where the bottleneck is the hard drive, you'll see improvement. [01:21] im going to try something diffrent [01:21] Rifleman_82, it just sent you a msg on instlaling java, it just took a little time, [01:21] bobertdos, please type what I have said into a terminal.

[01:22] benny269: I have to go if that doesn't work for you after editing and restarting samba nemilar can help you with his solution. [01:22] pelo: i can't apt-get it? [01:22] does anyone know what package I should install to get stdio.h etc.? [01:22] andi5, rigth now its the same after i found something like "@^@^@@...." [01:23] Ahh, so the mirror was out of date. fair enough [01:23] anderswc-> build-essentials ? [01:23] anderswc, build-essentials for a start [01:23] So I have a question: I currently have an ATi Radeon 9200, which I'm a bit aware that the ATi cards aren't as well supported as nVidia in X, but I noticed that the applications are a little slow as far as graphics go. Like a youtube video I've seen before seems to run at a slower frame rate than usual. [01:23] Thing is I'm at a high resolution: 1600x1200, and I'm wondering if that's the major cause of it or not [01:24] Hi, any good ideas how to remove grub from mbr in ubuntu livecd? [01:24] Jouva: it's the drivers, or the settings, not the resolution [01:24] ok [01:24] Also, I've been having this ongoing issue with the installation of javadocs interfering every time I do an update. === amidaniel is now known as amidaniel|away [01:25] !away > amidaniel|away [01:25] nemilar: Ok. I just figured if the drivers weren't able to do hardware acceleration well that a higher resolution may make it worse. Is there anything you can suggest to look for or get with a Radeon 9200? [01:25] did u try doing what i suggested family ? [01:25] Sorry about the pm, Price, I am unaccustomed to IRC etiquette. [01:25] Jouva: there's loads of howtos for radeon cards and ubuntu [01:25] Ok [01:26] hi [01:26] trying to install gutsy hardy and feisty on my macbook with no luck [01:26] I have a 7.04 system with two ATI cards using the radeon driver in mergedfb mode to give me an extended desktop. this worked great for many months. I've dist-upgraded it ot 7.10, and now the same xorg.conf doesn't seem to work. the screens are there, but they are mirrored now [01:26] !ati > Jouva [01:26] I can't seem to coerce the new system into doing what I want [01:26] it boots but then keyboard wont work [01:26] or it'll freeze in the middle of installation [01:26] I've tried 5 different CDs, versions etc [01:27] all same problem, altho out of say 5 attempts one time it goes through [01:27] !enter | spike [01:27] spike: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[01:28] tzanger: set it to extend rather than mirror [01:28] vox: I hope you appreciate how ridiculous that was [01:28] eh? [01:28] nemilar: yes, I'm familiar with doing it that way, it doesn't seem to work correctly for the radeon driver anyway... if I try to do it that way it ends up mucking up xorg.conf in such a way that the X server segfaults [01:28] hi all: What package do I need to see mpg videos on Totem?

[01:30] onats: you can add your local network machines to it [01:30] actually there is a thread in ubuntu forums which details this exact problem [01:30] onats: nothing for the average home user [01:30] onats: depends on how many machines you want to use your dns server [01:30] onats: for most people it probably isnt worth it , unless your ISP dns server dies regularly [01:31] linxeh, actually that happens frequently [01:31] onats: then it might be worth it for you [01:31] onats: does it reject requests fast enough so that you can specify a fallback dns server? [01:32] onats: i used to run one when I was on isdn with a bad ISP dns server and it worked very well. I'm running one at the moment just to add my local servers into the standard lan dns [01:32] thanks regeya :) [01:32] k... so I have this file http://pastebin.com/d3a1ee419 and this file http://pastebin.com/m49f7b928 ...

Can anyone give me a newbie walkthrough of what to do? [01:33] anyone know how to share a whole drive rather than individual folders so that it can be accessed over the network? [01:33] MTecknology: i suppose that is a question for #apache (on freenode, i do not know) [01:33] onats: i'm runnign this at the moment http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html [01:34] onats: yes, the lan dns server can delegate either to an internet dns slave server or go straight to the root servers and do lookups from there [01:34] so, nobody knows why SciTE would not save simple settings in ubuntu? [01:34] yo, i just rebooted my box and got this fucked up message, any idea what the fuck i should do about it?

You can have it download other updates automatically though [02:02] bkar : btw... the windows pc is on .. should i do ifconfig once more ? [02:02] nu2buntu-> sure it will be a problem if two machines are using same ip address [02:03] nu2buntu-> yes, do an ipconfig on the windows this time [02:03] Shpook: I know it can download the files, checking to see if it can install as well now. hold on [02:03] bkar : what do u suggest... ?

[02:04] That's the only damn problem I have [02:04] bkar : ow ... you mean "on the windows" pc [02:04] Shpook: Looks like options for it are only available when updates are available, by right clicking the notification... [02:04] nu2buntu-> yes [02:04] nemilar: I/O is expensive, and 3G is an expensive driver. That might be it.

Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP [02:05] RyanPrior: it's not _that_ intensive [02:05] genii. ubuntu is so amazing to me. the only reason why i got into it is because i got into downloading torrents. i was downloading movies, and tons of stuff. i started to utilize the functioinality of windows, and because of that, i started to see that windows was archaic. so i tried to download the new version of windows (vista), and it was very difficult for me to install. Then i decided i wanted ipodlinux...so i just d [02:05] TheDukeNY: yup [02:05] !botabuse > misslecommander [02:05] TheDukeNY: err no [02:05] nu2buntu-> pinging it from ubuntu will not work [02:05] genii. yeah, how do i mount it? [02:05] TheDukeNY: sudo touch ... [02:05] vocx: that is not bot abuse finding things out [02:05] misslecommander hey, thanks for the help yesterday! [02:05] adrock358: Do you recall which partition it was? Normally something like /dev/sda1 or such [02:05] Who keeps booting people who aren't even talking?

[02:06] nemilar: thats what it returns, Read-only file system [02:07] is there a terminal command that will enable compatability files in a folder on a vista partition? [02:07] bkar : the windows pc ipconfig is still the same ..i haven't change it IP: 192.168.0.2, subnet mas: 255.255.255.0 default gateway: 192.168.0.1 [02:07] genii . you know i am really sorry to say i don't. is there a command that i may enter to find this?....i know dev3 is my main partition--the largest one. [02:07] TheDukeNY: that's particularly strange [02:07] I have a pretty big problem. After the Xorg update, I had some problems, reinstalled my nVidia drivers, and went to reboot again...and now I cannot boot at all; for a normal boot it freezes at the loading screen right when it says "resuming normal boot" and stops in the middle of booting when I try to boot into recovery mode. [02:07] passbe - iostat in a terminal [02:07] adrock358: Ok, no worries. Pastebin again :) This time the results of command: sudo fdisk -l [02:07] nu2buntu-> now do you want to use the same static ip address for your windows pc? [02:07] ltz28: thx [02:07] nemilar: what should it look like in fstab? [02:07] bkar : yes ... that IP is just fine [02:08] vocx: whatever. its a crime to find out info and share it ? nvm dont answer [02:08] nemilar: should it be listed in /etc/fstab ? [02:08] nu2buntu-> then you must assign you ubuntu nic card (the one where windows will be connecting to) to address 192.168.0.1 [02:08] TheDukeNY: it doesn't have to be, no [02:08] TheDukeNY: it will automount on startup [02:09] ltz28: that gives me harddrive info [02:09] ? [02:09] nu2buntu-> on ubuntu, you can try setting this via the network-manager [02:09] nemilar: any last ideas [02:09] genii. great. thank you. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52517/ [02:09] * nickrud is amused by newcomers abusing long time helpers [02:09] hey guys, any list of unsupported video cards for compiz/beyrl? I can't get it to work for some reason and I belive it's my graphics card.

[02:10] nu2buntu-> okay, try that now again..but as root [02:10] is there a way to see a compatibility folder on a vista partition from linux? [02:10] nemilar: I cant navigate to the my docs folder because a higher folder within which it is contained has a space in its name and Terminal wont let me access it. keeps saying the directory doesnt exist because it doesnt read the full folder name due to the space? [02:10] misslecommander, can i ask you a question? how do you pull up the name chart so you don't have to type each others names in every time you talk? [02:10] adrock358: use the small letter L not the number 1 [02:10] ok I am in with the live CD I had ubuntu before and have my account there and want to coppy and put my files in an external hard drive so I can reinstall ubuntu but I have no writting permision to the external hard drives anyone knows what I could do? [02:10] nemilar: correct, when I checkmark the box, nothing changes when i try to delete a file in Fantom Drive [02:10] adrock358: The -l part is a lowercase L and not a one (1)... please repost [02:10] benny269: put the folder name in quotes [02:10] adrock358: fdisk -l its east to overlook [02:10] benny269: or use a \ to escape spaces, like file\ name [02:10] adrock358-> typicall you type the first distinguishing chars and then tab for completion [02:11] bkar: yes .. and then ? [02:11] TheDukeNY: that's farkin' weird, I got no ideas...sorry man [02:11] adrock358: what IRC client you using ? [02:11] nu2buntu-> then type ifconfig and pastebin the results [02:11] Does anyone have a preferred vnc clinet? I wish to connect to my ubuntu box (headless) but need gui.

Sorry. [02:25] I have a Mac ... [02:25] Darkmystere_: that doesn't mean you're necessarily allowed to download another, different ISO, and it *certainly* doesn't mean that we're going to hand out ISOs of operating systems in here. drop it, thank you.

[02:34] ApacheNoob: sure did, it's libapache2-mod-php5 sorry [02:34] After installing the new Xorg update and restarting, I noticed problems almost immediately after Compiz started; glitches after a short while led me to restart almost immediately. [02:34] Thinking that it was just a temporary problem, I restarted a few more times to get the exact same results. [02:34] After some research on the issue, I discovered my problem and attempted to boot again, when I was met with a filesystem error. I ran "fsck" and pressed "y" a bunch of times, fixing some things, and restarted. [02:34] As soon as I was able to, I switched my drivers to "vesa" from "nvidia" in my xorg.conf file and reinstalled my drivers through a failsafe startup of KDE (I'm using Envy and figured this would be the easiest way). I then changed xorg.conf to look at my nVidia drivers on the next boot. [02:34] Well after ALL of that, I expected things to be back to normal...but they're far from it. [02:34] Whenever I try to boot now, the loading bar gets about 1/10th the way and just freezes. I can't ctrl+alt+F1 or do anything at all.

[02:35] which is the best? [02:36] miketalanca: i have a similar problem. do u have a 8 series card? [02:36] ApacheNoob: Based on preference I suppose, I've not messed around with ftp servers much. [02:36] Breakage_: You could try reinstalling the Java packages and the Azureus package, for starters. [02:36] roshan: Yeah I do. [02:36] ApacheNoob: second hand info: vsftpd and proftpd are good [02:36] okay [02:36] genii, you there? [02:36] miketalanca: by chance an 8600gt? [02:36] I'll go with pro [02:36] WOOT NX running now my server is complete! WOOOOOOO [02:36] roshan: Yes, my card exactly. [02:36] ApacheNoob: Yea I used proftpd but that's only because it came with lampp [02:36] adam: Yes. adrock? [02:36] genii it's adrock358. no such luck... [02:37] Whatsinaname: Good job. :-) [02:37] adam: OK. So you are back now on livecd? [02:37] genii yes [02:37] Whatsinaname: But can other people reach it yet? :D I hope your isp doesn't decide no you can't host a site like mine did... [02:37] miketalanca: i've looked on the ubuntu forums, and a lot of people are also experiencing the same problem. i'm not sure what the problem is, but i can find a solution anywhere i've looked. I too have tried envy and the restricted drivers [02:37] So in the last week I installed 2 750 gig drives in raid one array, set up samba, and now nx. [02:37] RyanPrior~ Tried to reinstall Azureus but that didn't work, so I'll reinstall Java then Azureus again after I've took a look at Deluge :) [02:37] It is for only in my house. [02:38] roshan: When the problem first hit me, I was able to boot and reinstall the drivers, but now I can't boot at all, so I dunno if it worked or not. [02:38] genii what next? [02:38] Whatsinaname: I see, congratulations anyway [02:38] I am proof that anyone can use linux. Just time, paticience and community...... thanks for everyones help [02:38] adam: Ok, back to Terminal of livecd. [02:38] Can anyone help me with my USB Audio problems?

[02:39] how do i import network directories into exaile [02:39] Well I was getting to that... [02:39] ? [02:39] RyanPrior~ Deluge looks like a nice app, will see how it runs thanks for the info! [02:39] Breakage_: No problem, good luck. [02:39] Can anybody help me fix the partition on a flash drive? [02:39] Have a good night all, now I am going to remove the monitor cable and keyboard and mouse. nx is nice. [02:39] adam: Then again we make the dir and mount it eg: sudo mkdir /mnt/sda1;sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 [02:40] okay [02:40] ok [02:40] !vsftpd [02:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about vsftpd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:40] adam: This time however we will be changing our root dir to be the partition you installed to. So please stand by :) [02:40] nu2buntu-> thats a hosts file, we need the file that has the name servers so we can resolve addresses like yahoo [02:40] I'm having problems with fdisk and partition tables... [02:40] roshan: Would a broken Xserver prevent my computer from booting at all? When I go to boot, the loading screen comes up, then nothing at all happens. [02:40] I can't get sound to go through USB Audio, its done it once before, though it sounded terrible, and now it only works through my speakers. It tells me that the resource is busy or not available when I hit the test button for sound on USB Audio... Anyone know how to fix this? [02:40] andrewheiss: Have you tried fsck? [02:41] how do I use vsftpd? [02:41] Nope - never heard of it...I'm a newb.... [02:41] I wish I didn't have to be such a noob :P [02:41] bkar: i will look at it again ... please be patient ...that pc is downstairs... :)) [02:41] What should I do with fsck? [02:41] miketalanca: you can test that, edit /etc/rc2.d/S30gdm on the partition to K30gdm , that will prevent X startup [02:41] ApacheNoob: Could use a GUI or command line... One second [02:41] andrewheiss: fsck allows you to check and fix mounted partitions. Look at the man page for more info. [02:41] miketlanca: well, i'm still new to linux, but i think it is possible. as i've said, mine fails immediately after the loading screen [02:41] genii. great. thanks again. you guys are top notch... [02:42] nickrud: I'm trying that now, thanks. [02:42] top notch volunteers genii. i wish you got paid. [02:42] I wish i got paid..

[02:42] But then id get fired when i started ranting on a guy for not listening. :P [02:42] Dr willis. you are in the medical profession, you get paid well... [02:42] Lmao.

[02:49] nickrud: thanks [02:49] I'm unable to use my windows installation after installing ubuntu and I need to modify my windows registry to disable auto restart on errors, so someone told me to get something called Offline NT Password & Registry Editor, but it needs to be used as a boot CD and the only method I have available to boot with right now is a USB drive (which is how I installed ubuntu in the first place), however I am unable to access the USB drive from linux [02:49] adam: echo "hostname" | sudo tee /mnt/sda1/etc/hostname;sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /mnt/sda1/etc/network/;sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/sda1/etc [02:49] NeoPhyte21: you need to install either php5-cgi or libapache2-mod-php5 [02:49] Scottc: What happened to your Windows install? [02:50] . [02:50] it got borked when I installed Ubuntu [02:50] genii ok [02:50] Scottc: Vista? [02:50] no [02:50] XP [02:50] NTLDR missing error? [02:50] bkar : can't connect anywhere ... i havent tried to ping since i dont know the address for any site [02:50] nickrud: i just reinstalled ubuntu about 4 minutes ago. Would i still have to update to get rid of the bug or would it automatically have updated when i installed? [02:50] neophyte21 is a neophyte a plant? [02:50] MrObvious: I dont know [02:50] libapache2-mod-php5 is already the newest version. [02:50] Scottc: Well what does it do? [02:51] thats why i'm trying to get these files onto the usb drive so I can edit the registry [02:51] bkar: i tried ping www.yahoo.com ... nut it just stucks there [02:51] it blue screens and insta restarts [02:51] MrObvious: xserver-xorg-core_2%3a1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu8.2_amd64.deb... more of the same... GL kills it [02:51] nu2buntu-> from windows can you ping www.yahoo.com ? [02:51] pretty sure it means new [02:51] adam: cat /etc/hosts | sed "s/`cat /etc/hostname`/`cat /mnt/etc/sda1/hostname`/" | sudo tee /mnt/sda1/etc/hosts [02:51] hallo [02:51] bkar : no ... no internet detected ... [02:51] jumpkic1: Try recompiling your drivers? [02:51] I need to access the USB drive so I can put the boot stuff with the registry editor on it and change it so it doesn't auto restart on an error [02:51] bkar: do i have to ignore the tcp/ip config on windows ? [02:51] roshan: I don't remember off hand if the latest packages are downloaded during install; if they are (or you do an update/upgrade) you will get the latest (hopefully fixed) packages [02:51] nickrud: It definitely got a lot further than it did before, but now it's hanging on "Loading hardware drivers." Should I try to start up in recovery mode? [02:52] I"m having issues with my desktop [02:52] the taskbars are way up there and way down there === matthias_ is now known as prof-samba [02:52] genii do you want the output? oh, and was that last one all one line?

When in doubt copy and paste from here directly into the Terminal [02:53] nu2buntu-> on ubuntu do this... cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [02:53] *output [02:53] i have output from the error log if that will help? [02:53] ah, issues with drivers.. hope it can be fixt. =( [02:53] yeah, neither Gnome nor KDE will load, just Failsafe *which i'm in now* [02:53] adam: And yes all 1 line [02:53] yeah, no it was fine. there was some output though. but all is good. [02:53] zachalink: Go to a terminal and try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade and see if it installs an updated xorg. [02:53] nickrud: ok, i'll try to update and reinstall the restricted drivers, thx [02:53] bkar: 0 .... that's it ? [02:53] adam: If any output use again the pastebin and I'll examine [02:54] adam: can i privmsg you? [02:54] kk, thanks [02:54] zachalink: Also in xorg.conf you can set your display driver to vesa as a failsafe. [02:54] bkar: i did that .. and it answered with only 0 [02:54] sure nephyte [02:54] roshan: start without restricted for a while, if the nv or vesa drivers work at all with your card. One step at a time [02:54] adam: If no errors then good, we can continue :) [02:54] nu2buntu-> on ubuntu do this.. sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [02:54] zachalink: I forget the dkpg reconfigure xorg xserver command but you could try that instead.

The last line which hung for you just only adds your own name of machine to the hosts file of the installed hd anyhow so not entirely crucial for this [03:03] so um... ya that resizing thing... doesn't work much [03:03] nu2buntu-> now write a tutorial on what just transpired [03:03] bkar : thanks alot man ... what a relief... u saved my day [03:03] hey guma [03:04] nickrud: how do I add accounts to the openssh server?

If it wants to save, try it. I did that once on one machine and it started working, and don't ask me why [03:05] and now 1024x768 looks all distorted and messed up. =( [03:05] ApacheNoob: every user on your machine will have an account [03:05] like it keeps on being blurry and hurting my eyes...

[03:06] and this resolution is all distorted [03:06] like blurry words and such [03:06] nu2buntu-> depends on what you need to do, what traffic you need to route, its an advance topic [03:07] anyone know about XFCE [03:07] is feisty a good version [03:07] NeoPhyte21: try restarting apache, sudo invoke-rc.d apache restart [03:07] I can't edit what I want to in the XFCE menu [03:07] nu2buntu-> i dont know which bug you are referring to, bu t this is not one of them [03:07] zachalink: when you say it shows, what's it? [03:07] i'm ready to ditch GNOME and install Fluxbox or something lightweight like that [03:07] <^Co_Ckp_Kedingin> HIIIII [03:07] bkar : i will get dizzy later thinking about that... but for now... i thank you so much for helping me configuring my ICS ... thanks once again [03:07] I'm trying to make a package and I keep getting this... ./packages/Ubuntu/ati-packager.sh: 175: dpkg-architecture: not found [03:07] what do you mean by that nickrud?

[03:08] adam: I see my error now. 1 moment to correct [03:08] nickrud: its apache2 [03:08] nu2buntu-> I did not assist you with ICS [03:08] nickrud: apache2ctl restart ? [03:08] bkar : LOL .. what do you call ICS on ubutnu ? [03:08] bkar : was it this bug? FYI: There is a "Bug" in Gutsy (Ubuntu 7.10) and you will need to make a small edit in /etc/sysctl.conf [03:08] nu2buntu-> dont know what ICS is, [03:08] adam: cat /etc/hosts | sed "s/`cat /etc/hostname`/`cat /mnt/sda1/etc/hostname`/" | sudo tee /mnt/sda1/etc/hosts [03:08] zachalink: when you explain your problem, you should use nouns, or 'I opened such and such, did this, and this happened where this is specific things, not vague things we have to guess at [03:08] heeeeeey [03:09] nu2buntu-> sysctl stuff is for the kernel usually.. [03:09] is feisty a good version [03:09] bkar: Internet Connection Sharing, a cheap router over Windows basically.

You should use the invoke-rc.d statement === xChat is now known as UbuN2 [03:09] bkar : ic ... what is my best option then ? [03:09] nu2buntu-> let me warn you one thing, the stuff we just did does not hold when you reboot, so you must write the steps to ensure you can redo it [03:09] I want to sync data from a NAS device with a remote server running ubuntu... any suggestions? I'm trying to do it with just the PC and the NAS device.

[03:10] such as the whole screen being blurry. and I need to know how to fix this please. =) [03:10] nickrud: Alright, I am about to reboot after deleting the nvidia.ko file, but before I do, what was the name of the first file you told me to change? Something regarding gdm/kdm on startup [03:10] is that better? [03:10] hey* [03:10] is there a way to make it not do that? or to disable the internal ones? [03:10] that's weird [03:10] ratchet_: How does the NAS transfer files? FTP? Windows File Sharing? What? [03:10] Flash still doesn't work. Could someone please help me? Perhaps I can install it using the terminal and I would receive working results? [03:10] pliz help with "bash: ./build.sh: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory" [03:10] nu2buntu-> i like you to do this manually for now so you get a feel for how things are, if i tell you to set it permanently, you'd forget what we just did [03:10] bkar : i tried to look back to the previous guides... but i've lost 'em ..is it starting from cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward ? [03:10] is feisty a good version [03:10] Windows or FTP [03:10] miketalanca: S30kdm , leave it as K30gdm [03:10] anyone? [03:10] zachalink: ah, that helps some :) A sec [03:10] nickrud: ok, I'll leave it for now [03:10] adam: Did it complete with success this time? [03:10] sirin: sounds like a problem with DOS/Windows line endings [03:11] tolin sudo apt-get install flash [03:11] genii http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52531/ [03:11] nu2buntu-> am not going to repeat what transpired in the past hour with you and I [03:11] Thanks wyclif. [03:11] i have installed klibido and when i start it up it is very glitchy has anyone got any idea`s !!! [03:11] xavier__: Play with volume controls? [03:11] genii yes [03:11] miketalanca: first rule of troubleshooting, only change one variable at a time [03:11] adam: OK, Reading [03:11] bkar: correct ... learning by doing .. [03:11] what is the root for the apache2 server [03:11] ? [03:11] adam: So far so good :) [03:11] bkar : thanks .. i will try to look on google on this guide [03:11] I have an ATI X1650 Pro. everytime I start install ubuntu it just at the middle of the installation. And also ubuntu cannot detect my network card as well. [03:11] great [03:11] great advice nickrud [03:11] ApacheNoob: /var/www/ ? [03:11] MrObvious, you live up to your name! ;) But seriously, I couldn't fix it through that :/ [03:11] genii great [03:11] ratchet_: Just use a good FTP client and it'll connection. [03:11] any idea any body [03:11] ApacheNoob-> there is a #apache channel for support [03:11] thanks [03:11] adam: Now: sudo chroot /mnt/sda1 [03:11] that's all I needed [03:11] xavier__: It could be a built in speaker in the case. [03:11] adam: Success? [03:12] wyclif, it says that it cannot find "package flash". [03:12] I was looking for differential backup... I'd use rsync but I don't want to put another server on the network [03:12] every time I try to apt-get some packages it wants the gutsy cd, why is it wanting physical media, can it not grab it from a repo? [03:12] tolin: it's flashplugin-nonfree, I think [03:12] any ideas for differential? [03:12] Oh, thank you. [03:12] nickrud: still no good [03:12] ratchet_: Try setting up samba and maybe a cron job? [03:12] genii i did that already [03:12] !samba [03:12] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [03:12] !cron [03:12] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [03:12] that is odd. hold on i will look and see exactly what i did o install [03:12] MrObvious, that's what I'm thinking, but I'd like the logical behavior where if headphones are plugged in it doesn't play [03:12] xavier__: what is your sound device? [03:12] nu2buntu-> to summarize, we have to make sure you have an ip address for ubuntu (towards the ISP and toward the client windows pc) [03:12] tolin: also, there's something in the channel's /topic message about flash [03:12] genii and i tried to ping but it didn't work [03:13] Oh, all right. Apologies for asking about it here then. [03:13] I mean it just stop the reconciliation rith like 50 precent before completation [03:13] xavier__: Hmm might not be a fully supported sound chip or something needs configuring. Give me your soundchip and I'll find a link or something. [03:13] nu2buntu-> then made sure the route table is okay, ip_forward is set, and masquerading/nat is active via iptables [03:13] I have a toshiba laptop with 7.10 and X doesn't fill the screen....anyone help? [03:13] robf: alt-f2 then gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list comment out the cdrom entry, save, exit, sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get install [03:13] did you get something yet, nickrud? [03:13] IndyGunFreak, built-in audio, Intel ICH5 [03:13] zachalink: have you done system->admin->restricted drivers, and chosen the nvidia driver? [03:13] adam: Ok, let me then think.

[03:20] it's in securely too [03:20] how can i tell if my ati driver is installed [03:20] zachalink: Bad stick or loose connection more than likely.

You can install it by typing: [03:21] sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx [03:21] bash: fglrxinfo: command not found [03:21] zachalink: Don't get me started on the addictiveness of WoW. If you quit it's a good thing. :p [03:21] nah, I don't wanna go without a PC [03:21] hanophix33: then do so [03:21] bkar: sorry ... i didnt finished reading one tutorial i found on google ... can i save this settings on /etc/rc.local ??? [03:21] nah, it's a pretty fun game. ^^ [03:21] adam: please do: modprobe crc_itu_t then try again: ping google.com [03:21] zachalink: Just take out the bad stick and leave the good one. [03:21] hanophix33: then system->admin->restricted manager, and enable the ati restricted driver [03:21] bkar: so when i reboot.. i dont neet to do this all over again ?

[03:25] someone told me a command to install zsnes and a bunch of games [03:25] what is that command? [03:25] nickrud: I've looked through the bootlog of the past boot and the last things that it says before ending are network-related, just stuff like "no IPv6 routers present" [03:25] mandriva 2008 graphical server [03:26] hanophix33: did you install it today, or last month, and how much have you installed [03:26] sadaiyappan: depends on which protocol you wish to sue for the media server [03:26] *use [03:26] nickrud: 3 weeks now [03:26] !warez | zachalink [03:26] zachalink: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels.

[03:27] * nickrud waves frantically at Pelo cuz hopefully he runs nvidia [03:27] how is playing free games on a system that old illegal? [03:27] hey everyone [03:27] zachalink, it's not this channel , it's this whole network, we have a no warez talk rulee [03:28] I doubt nintendo even cares [03:28] any powerpc users in here? [03:28] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52533/ [03:28] that is so lame.. [03:28] zachalink: it still violates copyright law [03:28] yes, one set in stone that's probably not even active, but oh well let's not worry about it anymore [03:28] zachalink: To install zsnes: sudo apt-get install zsnes for the games, most are still under copyright and you'll need to look elsewhere [03:28] thank you [03:29] nickrud: Well, I booted up normally and I have a mouse now o-0;; [03:29] that's all I needed [03:29] hey all, can someone point me in the direction of how to mount a NAS devise so that I can select the hdd on it as a music directory [03:29] last time it installed with a list of games [03:29] mikebeecham: lol [03:29] zachalink: The law is the law. Keeping things legal has it's benefits, including keeping up the reputation of Ubuntu, Freenode, and Linux, saving money, and keeping warez kiddies out of here who clog up resources with their hacks anyway, plus possible legal problems and getting this channel shut down if it was allowed. [03:29] nickrud: I don't know what happened but I have solved my booting problem. Now, all I need to do is get rid of that Xorg package and revert to the old one, correct?

[03:31] hanophix33, did you install xgl and such ? or is it aixgl for nvidia ? [03:32] Wow it's quiet in here. :\ [03:32] guy who told me about zsnes install it says package is not available, but is referred to by another package.

[03:32] what package would that be? keep in mind, I want to install the emulator not games [03:32] genii: Lol. [03:32] MrObvious: would u mind looking at my xorg log [03:32] !xbug [03:32] A bug has recently caused an X.org package to break. It is fixed now, just update your packages list from Synaptic/Adept or « sudo apt-get update » [03:32] so, no legal issues here. >.> [03:33] MrObvious, thanks, it uses a linux format ext3, but somehow thats still viewable from a windows machine [03:33] MrObvious, hello again.. so is that there is no fix?

[03:33] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52534/ [03:33] jnascimento, the new nano? [03:33] zachalink: Make sure all your repositories are enabled. I'm currently on KDE so you'll have to ask someone using Gnome where to do that in Synaptic [03:33] Paddy_EIRE_ xorg.conf? [03:33] moDumass: It probably uses Linux and Samba. [03:33] !itunes | jnascimento [03:34] jnascimento: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee === Tau is now known as Tau_bud [03:34] moDumass, huh?

[03:34] Tau_bud: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [03:34] Paddy_EIRE_: Just reinstall I guess. I'm not sure as it hasn't happened to me. Try reinstalling your GFX drivers after the fixed xorg works I think.

[03:38] That ^ [03:38] well not compiz but emerald [03:38] :) [03:38] hanophix33, atm you seem to be running the vesa mode , you need to instal the proper driver for your video card, that should allow you to run the effects, start with the restricted driver in menyu > system > admin > restricted driver [03:38] genii when i reboot do i have to unplug and regplug the adapter. or install the driver? when i boot to livecd when i click on the network drop-down menu, the networks are already listed. all i have to do is connect and enter my pass. but when i boot to hd, there's no wireless networks in the drop-down menu [03:38] and voices waves for my irc like, you have been kicked from the group and ect [03:38] zachalink: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install zsnes [03:38] thanks [03:38] adam: Damn. got me stumped now [03:38] hello [03:38] MrObvious, I use a few of my own patches for compiz [03:38] hanophix33: the last file you put up on the pastebin is /etc/11/xorg.conf , that's what controls how X runs. the driver it's using is vesa (as set on line 74) . We want to change the driver to ati. sudoedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf will let you do that [03:38] compressed file system? give one.. give two?? [03:38] genii. damn. [03:38] ;P [03:38] Paddy_EIRE_, candy rots your teeth, eyecandy rots your brains, say no to compiz !!!!! [03:38] ideas? [03:39] pelo: only have software modem driver [03:39] no eye candy for linux users.. [03:39] Pelo, maybe you are right :) [03:39] :-S [03:39] Package zsnes is not available, but is referred to by another package. [03:39] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [03:39] is only available from another source [03:39] wth man [03:39] go get a mac if you want some facy stuff [03:39] nickrud: change line 74 to "ati"? [03:39] fancy [03:39] but I saw all those lines of code, does that mean it still installed? [03:39] Pelo, the eye-candy is attracting allot of no-brainers [03:39] In order for an ordinary user to find a file using locate, the file must be in a directory to which the user has access permissions. This means the directory must have the Execute (x) permission set right? [03:39] genii. this is such a common adapter....tons of people use them. and my computer's not bad....it's like 2.66 1 gig ram, all factory from dell. i don't know what to say === err0r_man is now known as error_man [03:39] nickrud: then exit?

[03:40] I am learning xml [03:40] zachalink: Oh I wonder if it's not for 64 bit. :\ [03:40] !xml | exneo [03:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about xml - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:40] so what would you recomend [03:40] err [03:40] and I use a 5600+ proc [03:40] zachalink, you may need to get znes from another source, google, try to find a deb installer, if not you'll probably have to compile it from the source code [03:41] genii maybe i shold open wlan0 and check it out? yep, one internet connection i got! for now [03:41] does that mean I can't use it? lame.. [03:41] as a good all in one suite [03:41] zoidfarb: getting the remote on that card, is very very difficult to get working.. i never got it to work.. i use the terminal to change channels [03:41] zachalink: Maybe it works on 32 bit. :\ [03:41] hmm [03:41] exneo, have you checked your package manager? [03:41] is misslecommander still here? [03:41] alright [03:41] well thanks [03:41] zachalink: If I didn't fold I'd be on 32 bit for sure. [03:41] zachalink: YW. [03:41] Im having trouble with a multiplayer game resolving local host on Gutsy? Same PC and router work fine if booted into XP I have tried adding myhostname into the etc\hosts file didnt help anyother ideas? [03:41] for the help all. see ya later [03:41] exneo, use synaptic to search the repositories for xml , there is probably a few things in there that would be of interest [03:41] yes but i get stuff like simple editor [03:41] we were looking at something yesterday....but it was the wrong thing....maybe he could help [03:41] !synaptic | exeno [03:41] exeno: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [03:41] I searched nothing especialy apeling [03:41] adam: OK. So to Terminal. Then: sudo mkdir /mnt/sda1;sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 [03:41] PaPaFD: What happens when you ping localhost? [03:42] IndyGunFreak. That's no good. This is going to be a standalone DVR [03:42] exneo, try in www.getdeb.net [03:42] PaPaFD, what is the exact line in /etc/hosts you are using? [03:42] exneo, there are more comprehensive listings on the Synaptic Package Manager [03:42] * genii pokes misslecommander but he won't wake up [03:42] tried it [03:42] MrObvious: Gives be 127.0.0.1 [03:42] zoidfarb: well, i googled the hell out of it when I got that card, and almost every link suggested no joy..., and some got fairly involved trying to get it to work. [03:42] dont want tarballs so linux.org is out [03:42] exneo, google [03:42] genii. do i have to be in the hd to input these commands maybe? [03:42] googled it [03:42] exneo, well what are you looking for? [03:42] PaPaFD: And does it give replies? [03:43] MrObvious: yes [03:43] exneo, then you are done, tank you for playing [03:43] xml developer tools like a good editor and a good compiler [03:43] lol [03:43] IndyGunFreak, well, you want to point me at some links and I can take a whack at it. You'd think they'd have sorted it out by now. It's such a common card. [03:43] Anyone familiar with the Make controller? [03:43] PaPaFD: Hmm that's odd. What game? [03:43] NMajik, better state the actual problem [03:43] zoidfarb: that was ages ago..., i can't really remember them now... try searching ubuntuforums.org [03:43] adam: No, we are just now making the mountpoint again then mounting the hd. livecd cannot remember or save anything we did before relative to itself. But any editing we made on the mounted drive is still good [03:43] exneo, I find kde's development tools are hard to surpass [03:44] exneo, try using the k desktop environment [03:44] k but they come in tarballs [03:44] unop: 97.87.72.127 FDLINUX [03:44] no don't want k i like xfce [03:44] !kde | exneo [03:44] exneo: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE version is 3.5.8 for Gutsy and Feisty, 3.5.6 for Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information.

[03:44] okay [03:44] I need help with vsftpd [03:44] my amarok wont play mp3 files...even after installing codecs... [03:44] Sometimes when i 'force quit' a program it leaves a really strange looking distortion on the screen that cannot be moved/removed etc. any idea? [03:44] PaPaFD: Never heard of it.

[03:44] PaPaFD, but that line has nothing to do with localhost tho -- [03:44] joel_, what is your issue and what is your videocard ? [03:44] what about installing kde to xfce [03:44] kde deb tools [03:44] genii score. man. i'm still surprised that this issue exists. my computer configuration is totally normal. the only thing i did different was i turned of DMA in bios, because my grub would boot with an error [03:44] I've got to go make food, so pm me with an "available" [03:44] dev [03:45] Need help with my xorg configuration. Someone please help [03:45] PaPaFD, just ensure that /etc/hosts has a line like this -- 127.0.0.1 localhost [03:45] Pelo: I have it attached and have followed (I believe) the instructions for setting up its software. The build seemed to work. dmesg indicates that it realizes something is going on when I plug it into a USB port. Also, the software seems to work as it picked up three computers on my network using default port 10000 (fluke though). [03:45] exneo, trust me kde will deliver on what you are looking for [03:45] exneo, if you do it from the repos the necessary libs will be installed as well [03:45] exneo, great dev tools [03:45] unop: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost FDLINUX [03:45] nickrud: after the changes, i cannot login [03:45] genii. maybe i should unplug the usb when i'm in hd, then plug it back in again? [03:45] Pelo: issue when I power up the machine, everything is blurry, how do I tell what video card I have [03:45] i dnt want to install kde [03:45] do it [03:45] :P [03:45] lol [03:45] can I just add nessesary pacakges\ [03:45] nickrud: it logs in and then goes back to login in screen [03:45] gtg [03:46] unop, execute is all he needs. Got 50/50 on the quiz [03:46] unop: The problem is it tries to give the remote host and Ip of 127.0.0.1 [03:46] PaPaFD, you seem to have FDLINUX on both lines -- you are bound to experience problems [03:46] Creed, whatever .. [03:46] NMajik, I am not familiar with that , sorry , but it is always better to state the problem then to ask about someone familiar with .... [03:46] unop: I have had it both ways [03:47] adam: I doubt it will do much but you could try it. Right now my intention was to try something else which worked for me previously in this situation [03:47] another thing is that when i boot hd it takes like 20 seconds on a dark screen, and then my username pops up. and sometimes i have to reset my IDE settings by unplugging my computer, because the OS won't load at all [03:47] i'm experiencing graphics problems. can someone assist me? [03:47] joel_, laptop ? [03:47] Pelo: yes [03:47] genii. yeah. great. i'm ready [03:47] joel_, menu > system > prefs > fonts > subpixel hinting [03:47] roshan: Is it with the latest updates to X?

The restricted drivers wont work for me.

[03:48] I just installed a module via synaptics for my webcam, "spca5xx-source", but I need to find out where it installed to. I tried modprobe spca5xx-source, but it returns FATAL: Module spca5xx_source not found. every time. How can I find this? [03:48] adam: How good is your connection? dsl, etc?

[03:50] opk [03:50] genii ok [03:50] roshan: Try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade and see if it works. [03:50] PaPaFD, well, you shouldnt have FDLINUX on both lines .. FDLINUX could resolve to 127.0.0.1 or 97.87.72.127 and there's no guaranteeing which -- that could cause problems for your game [03:50] adam: then: apt-get update;apt-get install tasksel [03:50] ojk [03:50] ok [03:50] adam: It may say installed already, thats fine [03:50] MrObvious: after doing that, then reinstall the drivers?

Good for me is defined as something similar to DOS Edit. I will only be needing it for editing config files and such if I cant do it with Gedit for some reason. It needs a shallow learning curve, and preferably visible menus. I don't go to the terminal unless I cant do the job at hand in the gui, so even if I learned something like vi, I would never be proficient at it. Any sugge [04:12] unop: sorry it is 21001 but sudo netstat -ano | grep 21001 still takes me straight to command prompt [04:12] WorkingOnWise, nano, vim [04:12] jnascimento: i think i just hit the wrong button [04:13] nickrud: lol thanks [04:13] what key am i pressing to close a window, it happens to me all the time ?

[04:14] how do I get fsck.vfat to correct errors and attempt recovery of bad sectors? It doens't seem to be doing anything, it just exits within like 3 seconds, something about a folder. [04:14] justin_: let me google how map sata drivers.. i believe thats is the diffence in yours menu.lst [04:14] im going to use a diffrent ui [04:14] justin_: the commands are at the bottom of the screen: ^ means the control key [04:14] Pelo: thanks, I'll read about it [04:14] I have a multi-boot system, and when I'm in ubuntu, I was wondering if I could reboot into windows auto (ubuntu is the first in the list).

Sunday no. Weekdays every day during from late morning til about 5pm my time [04:17] Ok, i finished the script, if anyone is interested [04:17] windows, that is. ugh, can't type [04:17] jnascimento: Alright.

[04:21] i still need to work on my monitor from being detected as generic [04:21] demon_spork, that's normal, at least for vfat. [04:22] demon_spork, or normal once the file system is borked in the first place. [04:22] there is System Log in System/Administration/System log [04:22] sethk, in windows when I have tried the same type of repairs all I get is a bunch of random files, each with code that doesn't mean anything in the order that it is currently assembled [04:23] if someone find thats 64- x 480 fix to work for them, maybe they could post it in forums, i am not forum member [04:23] demon_spork, yes, vfat is not very repairable. [04:23] Every couple minutes, my monitor freezes up and one of my cpu cores pegs out at 100%. nothing works except for the mouse. [04:23] demon_spork, in general it can't even figure out which pieces are from the same file [04:24] is there an ssh config file, and if so where/ [04:24] When the display unfreezes, it seems as if everything has gone on,, but i havent seen it. does anyone know what might cause this? [04:24] pvh_sa|wrk, /etc/ssh [04:24] pll1: yeap.. /etc/openssh [04:24] pvl1, /etc/ssh, ssh_config and, for the server, sshd_config [04:24] Shuggle i have been having same issue, i have yet to find out whats causing it [04:24] let me check [04:24] /etc/ssh/ssh_config [04:24] jnascimento, sethk thanks [04:25] Shuggle: is all you are left with, is , the top bar which still works ?

[04:25] sethk, just remember to not let your foot get near the power cable on USB hdds, because unless they are running ext3 or reiser, you are effed the moment you interrupt a big file transfer [04:26] I got lucky this time [04:26] jnascimento: it fixes itsself in a few seoconds [04:26] Shuggle: i tried quite a few things, i am working on it. i [04:26] I installed IcedTea and it's running Java archives just fine, but it also gave me a launcher for IcedTea Java Web Start, which doesn't seem to actually exist. [04:26] shuggle: try anothers frequency governors [04:26] demon_spork, yes, that's why I always run only journaling file systems. reiser has not been reliable for me, but ext3 is reasonably resiliant [04:26] shuggle: the one your are using problably is not apropriated for you [04:26] jnascimento: huh? monitor frequency? I have a laptop. [04:27] shuggle: frequency governor [04:27] jnascimento: yes, that does work better, i have found that to be true on my machine. changing Hz on monitor seems to lessen the chance [04:27] if anyone can help me it would be appreciated [04:27] anyone else not able to get the xserver-xorg-core update? [04:27] sethk, sadly though I have to use the hdd on windows computers so I can't put ext on it unless I want to install the IFS drivers on all of them [04:27] thats why i will be working on monitor fix, i thingk its miscalculating hZ or something [04:28] demon_spork, yes, I know, fact of life.

[04:34] jnascimento: Could not open the file /sys/devices/system/cpu/…aling_available_governors. [04:34] miketalanca, that's caused by the kernel not know the file system type early in the boot sequence [04:34] jnascimento: yes [04:34] miketalanca, if you can boot an earlier kernel version, you can fix it by rebuilding the kernel, but it's odd that it happens in the first place. [04:34] shuggle: well, probrably ist not this.. but conservative is the best choice for you [04:35] ok i found a solution while searching and reading here i have to windows disables your network card until windows reboots so all i have to do is turn that off in windows [04:35] try it :-S [04:35] shuggle: have you try to type top and see what is consuming you cpu?

[04:51] pdavid: yeah from compo [04:51] ive been having a problem with my nvidia driver (geforce7100 onboard). basically ubuntu (im on newly installed gutsy) cant seem to cope and always wants to start in low gfx mode. ive tried reconfiguring my X server and doing other stuff i cant remember but for seven hours i still havent managed to solve the problem. and i dont trust envy because its not supported. could someone please help me with my issue? [04:51] jnascimento: ok, so it acts as a throttle ? [04:51] haven't tried it lately to be honest [04:52] missinlecommander_: it works like those jumpers that we used to change the processor frequency, but it changed with processor up and runnung [04:52] BoltClock: check this out, i fixed that issue [04:52] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52541/ [04:53] jnascimento: yes, the old days, they were nice [04:53] can I used apt-get to install mythTV? [04:53] misslecommader_: totally agree with you [04:53] missilecommander_: whats the terminal command used to open xorg.conf again? === BaD-Laptop is now known as BaD-AcerLaptop [04:53] jnascimento: what had you said the cpu freq has to do with the vid freeze ? [04:53] or some freeze [04:54] you can use nano > sudo nano filenamehere [04:54] i dont directly edit it, look at th pastebin, i run from backup [04:54] nothing in particular.. but he could limit its processor max freq for testing.. and the profile set for gover might not be apropriated [04:55] you can copy the one thats broke, then edit that, and do with that i did, if you have no backup [04:55] Hey guys, I have an Nvidia 8600GT, I have installed the drivers from the restricted drivers section, and they work, but they will not drive 2 moniters. Before I installed the drivvers I was getting a cloned output, but now 1 moniter doesn't go at all. Anyone know how to get it going? [04:55] imsmisslecommander_: do you have icq/msn/ or something like that? [04:55] BoltClock: that is what i did, yours may be different. i made that because it was a sure fix for me [04:56] BoltClock: plus it shows what it changed, for good reason i am sure, but just the same, not what anyone wants [04:56] missilecommander_: ive already done `sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg` and picked my screen resolutions so theres a few others besides 640x480. it is low gfx mode here and not the normal one so i cant get it bigger than 800x600 [04:56] driver is running [04:56] BoltClock: right me too, and it messed my resolution up [04:57] that fix fixes the resolution back to normal, but that is my file, your vid card may be diff [04:57] you may be able to get away with inserting the vid modes, but you would have to retain format [04:58] isn't there a package for bitchx in the repo? [04:58] it changes the vid modes, as a result you are limited to the low res, it removes the other modes, i woudl think, in effort to protect itself [04:59] missilecommander_: video modes? [04:59] BoltCLock, you may already have a xorg.conf file that is backed up [04:59] missilecommander_: i see a -lot- of those in /etc/X11/ [04:59] its all in the pastebin, [05:00] yes one of them may be like xorg.config.custom or anything of the sort [05:00] find the one that worked previously and make use of the screen modes [05:00] none worked [05:00] you need to restart for it to take effect [05:00] i did [05:01] then try to go intor resolution and change it [05:01] they wil be in the list now, if you did it right [05:01] System/Preferences/Screen Resolution [05:02] ubuntu always warns me that itll start in low gfx mode [05:02] and System Preferences>Screen Resolution always only displays 800x600 and 640x480 [05:03] BoltClock: i dont know what to tell you, but, look at the other copies of xorg.conf.* and find what modes are different from the current [05:03] BoltClock: Have you installed the driver with the restricted drivers manager? [05:03] clearzen: yes and it is enbaled [05:03] s/enbaled/enabled [05:04] help guys, i was wondering why firefox is so much slower in linux [05:04] BoltClock: you said it's a 7100? [05:04] clearzen: thats right [05:04] switching tabs takes a while [05:04] sksol: yes firefox is slower than IE [05:04] on linux [05:05] lolz [05:05] it was a lot faster on xp [05:05] thing is FireFox on windows is Faster than IE is on windows [05:05] BoltClock: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4124204 <---check this out. He got his working with envy. [05:05] clearzen: early yesterday i tried envy and it didnt work [05:06] yes, but try FireFox on windows, its superfast [05:06] yes.... but firefox on linux is slower than firefox on windows [05:06] oh yes [05:06] missilecommander_: i just overwrote xorg.conf with xorg.conf.backup, restart whole system now? [05:06] my bookmarks are clogged, it wont accept anymore [05:07] hi, I was wondering if someone could please tell me which kernel option I enable for the "ieee80211" module? [05:07] will a dynex usb g wifi adapter work with ubuntu, its not on the list [05:07] ok, w/e. how do i configure my middle mouse button to do the same thing it does in windows? basically, in firefox it makes scrolling a lot faster and easier (when i press it, not rotate)? [05:07] BoltClock: just logout, ctrl-shift-backspace then login again [05:07] BoltClock: 1) apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx 2) apt-get install nvidia-glx-new 3) sudo envy -t and uninstall nvidia drivers, clean the nvidia drivers, and install them again [05:07] BoltClock: that should work for you [05:08] can someone try firefox on my site at http://74.186.120.21/ and tell me if it is loading on the other side of my firewall? [05:08] clearzen: ill try restarting X first [05:08] brophat: not quite awsome yet [05:08] brophat, it shows my ip address and has a few lines before that [05:08] ok thanks [05:08] yup brophat, it works [05:08] it is working [05:08] brophat, if that's what you expect, I guess it's working. :) [05:08] brophat: It works [05:09] thanks peeps [05:09] I think the consensus, is it works brophat [05:09] does anyone know where i can get the bulk package for flash, installing them with package manager and apt-get doesnt work right for me.. [05:09] restarted, but doesnt seem to work [05:09] nickrud but how do I know that all of you didn't get together in some kind of a conspiracy to make me think it is working. [05:09] !brokenflash | BloodyScum , see the blue text on the link [05:09] BloodyScum , see the blue text on the link: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [05:10] sksol: go into the options, advanced, and turn on autoscroll [05:10] BloodyScum, just get from adobe home page [05:10] brophat: you are wiser than I thought :) [05:10] clearzen: will try what you said now... though ive heard envy is unsupported [05:10] lol ubotu, calm down there guy :) [05:10] oops [05:10] "/msg" [05:10] sksol: you'll probably also want to fix backspace, type about:config in the address bar, filter using backspace, and change it to 0 [05:10] BoltClock: it's just building the drivers from source for you. [05:10] ok, thanks lespea [05:10] nickrud the solution is for me to check the logs haha [05:10] !envy | BoltClock (so you're right about that part) [05:10] BoltClock (so you're right about that part): envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [05:11] there... unsupported >< [05:11] nickrud: the supported method doesn't work for him [05:11] Pici told me yesterday [05:11] sksol: also, if you use all-in-one gestures, do NOT use it in linux -- it borks the spelling correction stuff [05:11] k guys.. got go.. nice talking [05:11] wait... brb [05:11] clearzen: I did mention he was right about the not supported, but I didn't contradict you when you mentioned it. Video really sucks this release. [05:12] nickrud: So it goes. I can't complain to much since it's all free to me :) [05:13] clearzen: likewise. I do my best with the ati stuff. [05:14] clearzen: could not `sudo envy -t` [05:14] should i download envy first? or isnt that the text installer or something? [05:14] don't do that [05:14] !envy [05:14] envy is not needed or supported.

The "recommended methods" don't work for him [05:15] Hello, I'm trying to get help for my VMware in Ubuntu 7.10 [05:16] clearzen, envy just "tries" to do the recommended methods in an automated fashion and often fails [05:16] arken: add deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner to your sources.list, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vmware-server is a good way to get vmware on ubuntu [05:16] yeah it failed for me yesterday [05:16] I don't understand how people don't realize that envy doesn't like have its own secret drivers somewhere [05:16] bruenig: if it does i'll help him fix it [05:16] clearzen: they didnt work for me niether, i had to manualize everything [05:16] it is a front end [05:17] if the drivers don't work when you installed them, they won't work when envy installs them [05:17] if envy actually gets them installed to begin with [05:17] nickrud: I have the program, but I can't seem to get Win98 working in it. [05:17] bruenig: It uses different driver versions than the restricted driver manager. [05:17] arken: you probably should try #vmware to get help with setting up vms [05:17] clearzen, don't use the restricted driver, use the wiki like ubotu said [05:18] click and pray advice is discouraged, if you don't understand how to help, just don't [05:18] bruenig: k, envy is just faster than typing by hand but whatever gets it to work I guess [05:18] how can i get my different workspaces to be in a cube when i change them?

[05:36] nemilar: no, people just keep telling me that envy isnt supported here [05:36] nemilar: and anyway it hasnt worked for me [05:36] scguy318: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52548/ [05:37] BoltClock: there's probably a channel for envy somewhere [05:37] VvWolverinevV: you can see if it's installed with dpkg -l mozilla-plugin-gnash . If the line starts with ii it's installed [05:37] AM_PATH_GTK(1.2.5,,{ { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: error: [05:37] VvWolverinevV: where it appears, I have no clue. I've never installed it [05:37] or dpkg -L mozilla-plugin-gnash [05:37] wht is the error: AM_PATH_GTK(1.2.5,,{ { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: error: [05:38] Hi, suddenly my vlc player won't open. any ideas? [05:38] does anyone know why PSN would knock Pidgin off AIM and MSN? [05:38] nickrud: so when you install plugins, they can install themselves anywhere?! === WhiteHat is now known as alanhaggai [05:38] RootyRootRootWoo: the ubuntu people fucked up [05:38] BoltClock: could you also paste /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:38] VvWolverinevV: there's probably several places it can go, but try what bruenig mentioned it will list all the files in the package [05:38] is there a solution? [05:38] * bruenig enjoys the ?! combo [05:39] nickrud: i already removed it :P [05:39] now it says that "e: couldn't find package sun java6 plugin [05:39] scguy318: earlier i overwrote it with xorg.conf.backup [05:39] scguy318: paste it anyway? [05:39] BoltClock: yes [05:39] tina, you typed it wrong: sun-java6-plugin [05:39] RootyRootRootWoo: Can you try to "sudo apt-get update" and see if there are any new updates? [05:39] scguy318: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52550/ [05:39] BoltCLock: thanks [05:40] victorneo - ok [05:40] can you tell me again the command exactly how it shold be [05:40] has anyone's vlc broken lately in ubuntu, or is it just me? [05:40] sexopter: It is due to a xorg update released earlier [05:40] sexcoptor: me too, am working on solution now [05:41] * nickrud will wait a week before updating [05:41] victorneo: breaking VLC? [05:41] I don't get how everyone else's VLC got broken, but mine is working fine [05:41] ok, that explains that! [05:41] scguy218: this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/183969 [05:41] victorneo: ah, thanks [05:41] nemilar, you must not have updates the xserver [05:42] bruenig: I installed them myself this morning [05:42] or if you compiled vlc yourself, you can actually compile it without wxwidgets [05:42] bruenig: nah, everything is from repos [05:42] BoltClock: are there any other Xorg logs in /var/log? [05:42] I did it. nothing to install. if it's that update I read the headline on digg, then I guess I've installed it [05:42] bruenig: I use wxvlc [05:42] compiling vlc is nuts [05:43] RootyRootRootWoo: Are you using Gutsy? [05:43] a good test of your skills though [05:43] victorneo: yes [05:43] scguy318: um, Xorg.0.log.old and Xorg.20.log [05:43] RootyRootRootWoo: First, go to this page: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/183969 [05:43] BoltClock: mm, could you paste Xorg.0.log.old? sorry for the inconvenience [05:43] victorneo: done. [05:44] RootyRootRootWoo: One of the comments by "aurelieng" has a fix for the problem [05:44] scguy318: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52551/ thats fine im very patient :) [05:44] hello [05:44] OH hi tina, how are you? [05:45] RootyRootRootWoo: It allows you to downgrade the update back to the normal working one [05:45] victorneo: thanks. One more question. to stop/start x I hit ctrl+alt+backspace and relogin, right? [05:45] Next time I have a question, I'm going to come in here with a girl's name for a nick [05:46] that'll make sure I Get a quick answer [05:46] nemilar: lol [05:46] RootyRootRootWoo: Yup, that should work [05:46] nemilar, isn't that a girl's name? [05:46] wobblywu: nemilar? are you serious? [05:46] victorneo: Thanks alot! [05:46] Is nemilar masculine? [05:46] Hi, I have two sets of speakers.. one plugs into the normal spot and the others go into the line in.. how can I set it to work with line in? Used to do it with Windows and can't figure it out.. the volume controls and such didn't work [05:46] Nemilar isn't even a name [05:46] RootyRootRootWoo: No prob, have a nice day [05:46] oh [05:46] nemilar, i'd give it to a girl before i'd give it to a boy though [05:46] nemilar is just one of those made-up words [05:47] it's Nvidia [05:47] :( now I gotta make up a new nickname :( :( [05:47] nemilar, I thought you wanted faster help, you should rejoice [05:47] scguy318: how is it?

Are you miss south carolina? [05:48] lol [05:48] BoltClock: your logs seem to only show X launching successfully in low graphics mm [05:48] in my opinion, the iraq is maps, need be for there as, such be the learning south africa such as [05:49] LOL [05:49] scguy318: ubuntu keeps asking to launch in low gfx and no other [05:49] * Dezine doot doot doo [05:49] what's a good music player that can edit file tags and rename files and rearrange directories based on those tags? [05:49] awesome ubuntu :D [05:50] VvWolverinevV: Audacity? [05:50] o cool [05:50] sounds complicated... [05:50] Amarok is good and does tags, not sure about what to use for filenames [05:50] hiya ppl....great days begin with a shot of ubuntu [05:50] Songbird is a great music player [05:50] except that it chokes on my collection [05:51] i got a question on the gnome terminal [05:51] nemilar: that wouldn't really constitute great then :P [05:51] I've only been able to get MPD-based players to handle my collection [05:51] Anyone know how I can set it up so my speakers can play music when hooked up into my line in? [05:51] VvWolverinevV: I've got a crazy large collection though [05:51] Is there a way to remove programs manually compiled/installed? [05:51] can somebody help me with an error i get when i try to run vlc [05:51] nemilar: what's MPD? [05:51] sams_gibbon: go for it [05:51] nemilar: how big? [05:51] VvWolverinevV: Music Player Deamon [05:51] Dezine: you mean line out? (I hope) [05:51] hm [05:51] probably [05:51] :-x [05:51] VvWolverinevV: about half a TB so far [05:51] BoltClock: a temporary measure may be to select vesa, so it won't constantly complain [05:52] it's next to the regular speaker input [05:52] scguy318: huh? [05:52] i keep getting an error [05:52] The program '.' recieved an X Window System error. [05:52] VvWolverinevV: all legally acquired, of course. [05:52] BoltClock: for your monitor driver in the safe mode selection [05:52] Worked on Windows so I don't see why not on Ubuntu [05:52] Dezine: line in is for a mike, or recording off another player of some kind [05:52] nemilar: lol [05:53] sams_gibbon: What about the gnome terminal? [05:53] BoltClock: other than that I'm afraid the limits of my knowledge are reached :( [05:53] when i open the terminal it opens in 80 x 24 size is there a way to open it in a bigger size ie 125 x 39 by default [05:53] BoltClock: perhaps it may be that nvidia restricted isn't installed (properly) [05:53] scguy318: the dialog where ubuntu warns me that its starting in low gfx? [05:53] BoltClock: yes, or you could reconfigure xorg.conf yourself and specify vesa [05:53] scguy318: restricted drivers manager isnt reporting any problems [05:54] alright well thanks anyway [05:54] scguy318: will reboot now and take a look [05:54] sams_gibbon: I don't see any options that allow me to configure that via the GUI.. anyone has any idea? [05:54] sams_gibbon: you can do something like changing the menu entry to gnome-terminal --geometry=125x39 , or add an alias like alias gt='gnome-terminal --geometry=125x39' [05:55] ty victorneo and nickrud...wil try that out nick [05:55] /usr/share/applications/gnome-terminal.desktop [05:55] nickrud: there's another way...I can't remember wha tthe name of the file is, but you can set default properties for apps in ~/.x[something] [05:56] nemilar: I don't think gnome-terminal uses that (.xResources) but it might ... [05:56] ahh yeah that's the name [05:56] yeah I doubt it uses that [05:56] well darn it [05:56] that is more of a urxvt or other more advanced terminals [05:56] nemilar: but xterm does :) [05:56] thing [05:56] sams_gibbon: 3rd to last post here http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-107000.html [05:56] yeah I remember configuring xterm with it back in the day [05:56] more advanced than gt!!? bite your tongue [05:56] back in the day when I was using blackbox and kernel version 2.0.16 or something [05:57] thanks, im running into this error mount error 6 = No such device or address [05:57] whilst trying to mount the dir [05:57] and page 8 is well, long and im not understanding whats goin on [05:58] moDumass, paste the command you are using [05:58] "changing the menu entry to gnome-terminal --geometry=125x39" worked like a charm...ty nick [05:58] hello... do you guys know about a web hosting that is not traceable? [05:58] !ot [05:58] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [05:59] scguy318: oh dear, i cant even start ubuntu now [05:59] scguy318: im currently on win xp pro sp2 [06:00] BoltClock: the X server failed? [06:00] scguy318: ubuntu prints five lines and does nothing else [06:00] BoltClock: in that case, you may either choose to install the ext2 driver at http://fs-driver.org to gain access to your Ubuntu partition, and copy /var/log/Xorg.0.log [06:00] * nickrud decides to wait two weeks [06:00] BoltClock: and paste that, or [06:01] BoltClock: hmm, what messages? [06:01] checked it genii...ty [06:01] sams_gibbon: np [06:01] bruenig in fstab //192.168.1.2/PUBLIC%20DISK%201 /media/NAS200 cifs auto,iocharset=utf8,uid=modumass,gid=users,credentials=/root/.cifscredentials,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775 0 0 [06:01] nickrud: I am working on a tutorial for the older ATI cards and getting effects to work... [06:01] scguy318: BoltClock is using vesa and he can't boot up? [06:01] so ive created a file with the login and password [06:02] ive made a mount point called NAS200 [06:02] Jack_Sparrow: oh, please do. I'm banging up against that every day it seems [06:02] victorneo: i was -about- to set vesa but i cant boot it [06:02] victorneo: well, he copied an older xorg.conf that used nvidia over and restarted with that [06:02] Jack_Sparrow: do you have a draft up anywhere? [06:02] nickrud: I installed gutsy on one of my laptops that has a 7500 mobility [06:02] when i try to use mplayer it gives me the error: Error opening/initializing the selected video_out -vo device [06:03] Got it working with effects just fine [06:03] Jack_Sparrow: hey, i tried configuring as you instructed but it isnt working. free to chip in? [06:03] Let me put up my notes [06:03] Is there anything in the default Gutsy configuration that would prevent me from getting fast torrent downloads? [06:03] bruenig and then i enter sudo mount -a into terminal and thats the error it spits out [06:04] anyone else having problems with VLC after the recent x server update? [06:04] Jack_Sparrow: are you going to scale in la next month? [06:04] nickrud: Wasnt planning on it.. [06:04] esoterik: are you using gutsy? [06:04] corinth: I don't think so .. I have a pretty vanilla Gutsy install and torrents work fine for me (deluge) [06:04] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52552/ please remember tis has a long way to go.. need to remove un-wanted stuff [06:05] nickrud: I wil hang for a sec if you want to look it over [06:05] victorneo: yes [06:05] try this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/183969/comments/8 [06:06] Jack_Sparrow: looking now, and I see that I didn't know what the heck I was doing :) [06:06] victorneo: k ill give it a go [06:06] scguy318: wait hold on [06:07] nickrud: There seemed to be quite a bit of confusion on the issue [06:07] Jack_Sparrow: there is. The caveats are really useful, like the 1280x1024 on oldest cards [06:08] nickrud: yep, and the max on dual monitors.... that kept tripping me up [06:08] scguy318: they dont look like they have anything to do with my problem but http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52553/ [06:09] nickrud: You add the res of both monitors..... no wonder effects would not work on both or the res had to be reduced on one [06:09] Jack_Sparrow: a lot of stuff there to put into a organized fashion. No hurry, but I'm bookmarking that page till then [06:09] BoltClock: I'm thinking Ubuntu loaded up okay, but X didn't [06:09] nickrud: It took awhile to put that together and test it.. but yes we can fix it from there.. [06:10] BoltClock: take your time, I can wait [06:10] scguy318: take my time to..? [06:10] nickrud: See you monday.. goodnight all [06:10] Jack_Sparrow: you also. [06:11] BoltClock: get access to your Linux partition and paste Xorg.0.log [06:11] BoltClock: I guess if you know your way at the Terminal you could possibly copy Xorg.0.log to your Windows partition at the command line or [06:11] BoltClock: use http://fs-driver.org to gain access from windows [06:12] what is the difference between the "generic" kernel and the 386 kernel that you can choose to start ubuntu up in grub? [06:12] hey all - anyone having a problem with updates today? [06:12] BoltClock: actually, I guess a simpler way I've overlooked is to go to Recovery Console and just dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg all over again [06:12] scguy318: Is he able to access tty1? [06:12] victorneo: I would presume so, but I cannot say since he is no longer in Ubuntu [06:13] victorneo: im running windows now [06:13] scguy318: so do that or retrieve the log file? [06:14] * nickrud fires up moinmoin [06:14] mkquist: having problems after the xorg update? [06:14] ksimus is a great simulator [06:14] Is there a branch of ubuntu similar to 'sid' or unstable in debian? That is, a repository that is 'bleeding edge?' [06:14] hobophobe: no [06:14] BoltClock: for now just dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [06:14] has anybody had a problem with running vlc? [06:14] BoltClock: I would hate to have you do undue work [06:15] what kind of problems not being able to connect? [06:15] when i try to run it i get a X Window System error [06:15] hobophobe: there is the next release, which is currently in development. /join #ubuntu+1 for more info [06:15] Okay, thanks. [06:15] scguy318: lol, ok. also why is the program seeing my linux disk (i installed win and linux on separate disks) as ext2 and not ext3? [06:15] for those having problems running VLC or Java applications after updating, refer to this for Gutsy: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/183969/comments/8 [06:15] r3n0c: I think there was a problem with WxWidgets based programs like vlc caused by an xorg update [06:15] Starnestommy, yea that is what i was thinking, when i updated it started to die [06:15] vlc seems to be working for me, though [06:16] i have vlc installed, but havent tried it yet [06:16] Starnestommy, i could just stop using vlc, but is there a way to, in mplayer, expand the size of the videos? [06:16] BoltClock: because the app does not understand ext3 journaling [06:16] you have a stream you want me to try ? [06:16] BoltClock: ext3 is backwards compatible with ext2, apart from journaling [06:16] scguy318: sc wouldn't happen to stand for supercollider, would it? [06:16] scguy318: ok, will reboot ubuntu in recovery mode now [06:16] loops_: no, and you're not the first to ask me what sc stood for :P [06:17] how to check my ISP's bandwith? [06:17] is it possible to expand videos in mplayer? so that they would be fullscreen? [06:17] monkey__: visit a bandwidth test site [06:17] r3n0c: probably, try double-clicking the window? not sure [06:17] ok sorry i went to far from my router [06:18] anybody know how to increase the size of videos in mplayer? to full screen or such [06:18] r3n0c: probably, try double-clicking the window? not sure [06:18] Hi All! Is there a utility to merge directories that doesn't merge files, or compare files at different depths of the directory trees? [06:18] r3n0c, alternatively right click and 'full screen' or such? [06:19] What is the default torrent program in gutsy? [06:19] What file systems is gutsy abe to read? [06:19] *able [06:19] corinth: I recommend deluge [06:19] Dark: a lot [06:19] scguy318: http://www.bandwidthplace.com/ , it says 536.85kilobits per second and 65.53kilobytes per second , what it mean? [06:19] victorneo: What are the advantages of it? [06:19] Dark: probably of interest of you would be FAT/ext2/3/NTFS [06:20] and I think reiser [06:20] corinth: its pretty similar to utorrent for Windows, and its pretty lightweight [06:20] monkey__: 1 byte = 8 bits [06:20] monkey__: your download is 536.85 kb/s and your upload is 65.53 kb/s [06:20] hold on, what was the command again? [06:20] genii: ah... sorry, i didn't see. one said BIT, the other one said BYTES [06:20] corinth: you can grab the latest ubuntu deb for deluge at http://deluge-torrent.org/ [06:20] BoltClock: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, after you finish, just jam Ctrl-Alt-Delete to reboot [06:21] scguy318: exactly what i did to reboot lol [06:21] BoltClock is from Singapore as well? [06:21] scguy318: No, 536.85 kb/s and 65.53 kB/s [06:21] victorneo: yeah :) [06:21] genii: my mistake, I kinda skimmed over that [06:21] what is deluge ? [06:21] a bittorrent program? [06:22] misslecommander: a BitTorrent client [06:22] thank you [06:22] is there a known problem with azureus and java 6 [06:22] scguy318, how does it compare to ktorrent? [06:22] brb [06:22] scguy318: is that the download speed to my laptop or to my wireless router? my laptop is on wifi. maybe my bandwith will be faster if i run the test on a eth0 on my other computer? === Dark is now known as Darkk === Darkk is now known as Xabriel === Vituz is now known as Vitux [06:23] wifi cn download quite fast, i run 400kbps down at times [06:23] JOINERIC: did you update your Ubuntu? [06:23] i am sure it can go higher [06:23] monkey__, It probably doesn't matter. The bottleneck will be the link between your home network and your ISP [06:23] How do I find an open port to tell deluge to work through? [06:23] Is there a video editing program that allows you to simply add titles and credits? [06:23] quit [06:23] JOINERIC: the recent xorg upgrade has some problems witj Java and WxWidgets [06:23] monkey__: running from Ethernet will probably be faster [06:23] *with [06:23] corinth: I just told it to use a random port [06:24] dsnyders: i think it will be slightly faster, cause i am very far away from my router right now [06:24] monkey__: Generally wired connections are faster, less error correction involved, etc also no crypting/decrypting data depending on wep/wap setup [06:24] well i have been messing with my java since i installed netbeans and eclipse and all of the sudden azureus wont even open [06:25] Think the issues caused by that recent X.org upgrade has been resolved. See topic i.e. type /topic [06:25] monkey_: you can adjust rts and packet frag thresholds [06:25] the splash screen wont even come up [06:26] you will however increase overhead, but given your router supports cts you will have a more stable connection [06:26] victorneo: yes, gives me error 403 forbidden? any thoughts? [06:26] genii: yeah, unless that website , http://www.bandwidthplace.com/ , strips all those networking infrastructure inside my home, and conduct the test with just my ISP and my main router. [06:26] mkquist: update and try again [06:27] victorneo: did, same... i'll take another shot. I'm the only one? mannnn.... outkasted.. =P [06:27] openoffice works for me [06:27] mkquist: sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade [06:27] mkquist: try with another mirror, then run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade again [06:28] scguy318: reconfigured, tried starting ubuntu again, still stuck at those five lines [06:28] maybe not all the mirrors have been synced as yet [06:28] Hmm, this is probably a simple problem, some setting I haven't messed with yet. [06:28] back on windows [06:28] monkey__: Almost all bandwidth test sites use some form of data transfer to whatever machine you are using, not the router. which would be difficult . [06:28] victorneo: will do, thanx for the idea [06:28] How do I make it stop showing programs from other desktops in the bottom bar [06:29] Plenox9: remove the window list applet from your bottom panel [06:29] where do I make changes to the mouse script settings? I need to add some lines to get my laser mouse's extra buttons working. [06:29] genii: yes, since the ethernet frame and ip header is discarded and recreated between the transfer. [06:29] scguy318: what now? [06:29] rajasun, hmm [06:29] hey can someone helpme Im trying to get my cube running on my desktop with ubuntu 7.10 , compiz fusion [06:30] victorneo: looks to be working now... guess just needed to be a little more persistent [06:30] genii: the mac address and ip header are re created [06:30] victorneo: thanx again [06:30] rajasun: Won't that result in the app that IS on that dsktop not being there also? [06:30] mkquist: no prob, have a nice day ;) [06:30] victorneo: u 2 [06:30] genii: http://www.hawaiiantel.com/internet/index.htm look, my isp [06:30] rajasun, that's kinda what I was thinking. I remember there was a setting a long time ago. [06:30] ahhh ---IRC...how i remember thee [06:30] been a long time [06:30] Not sure if they removed it or not. [06:31] victorneo: think you could help me out? [06:31] genii: well if u minimized the running opened app...yeah...u will have a hard time looking for it again ;) [06:31] Roky first make sure ur video card can do it [06:31] Allthenicksareta, welcome back. [06:31] hey can someone helpme Im trying to get my cube running on my desktop with ubuntu 7.10 , compiz fusion, I have everything revolving around it turned on, but when I hit the keys for it, it shows the flat screen with 4, instead of the cube. [06:31] how do i download a source rpm? and how would i apply a patch to it? [06:31] rajasun, I don't see what you're talking about. Care to clarify? [06:31] now--for support [06:31] pvl1, nvidia 7950 gtx2, it can run it perfectly [06:31] where do I make changes to the mouse script settings? I need to add some lines to get my laser mouse's extra buttons working. [06:31] sli [06:32] it'll run good [06:32] Roky indeed it can i thought u meant something else, u got the settings manager or whatever its called running? [06:32] genii: but I think that can be solved by the window selector applet instead [06:32] monkey__: All ISP advertise "Up to " whatever speeds. You never get those unless you are basically situated next door to their equipment however [06:32] BoltClock: if the reconfiguration doesn't work, that I am out of ideas [06:32] pvl1, yes I do [06:32] victorneo: ok then. so right now... i cant even use ubuntu because X isnt starting properly. sigh, drivers [06:33] what file do I edit the mouse driver? [06:33] Roky from what i remeber, there should be a setting for that. usually its like u hold down ctrl+alt and move the mouse around, but look in the settings to make sure its on. also u need xgl [06:33] Plenox9: right click on the bottom panel where your running apps are showing, look for properties, see it says window list, delete it, right click on the same panel again, add window selector applet in its place [06:33] genii: what's your result on http://www.bandwidthplace.com/ , if you don't mind me asking [06:33] OK -- I have an ati x1650 (AGP) -- and I can finally get ubuntu past the boot screen (live cd) using the nolapic command edit -- but after the checks, my screen goes black and my monitor goes into standby (so the vid card isnt sending signals obviously) [06:33] BoltClock: can't help much since i am on an ATI card.. but the reconfiguration fix the problems i encounter most of the time [06:33] monkey__: Give me a minute [06:33] !mouse | viking [06:33] viking: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [06:34] Tried nosplash with 0 success [06:34] ive got it all, im not like someone who doesnt know drivers and stuff, I just have never been able to get the cube working in gutsy [06:34] i read that u can mount win partitions in the /mnt than /media so its mounted but still doesn show up in the desktop...can some one enlighten me on how to change the mount point from /media to /mnt... [06:34] with compiz [06:34] everything else works great pvl1 [06:34] BoltClock: hmm, perhaps remove nvidia-glx? might fix your xorg.conf, else, err, I'm unfortunately out of ideas (getting late for me :() [06:34] thanks astro76 [06:34] rajasun, yeah mate. Nothing in properties about a window list :/ [06:34] scguy318: remove nvidia-glx? [06:35] ok awesome i have the NAS hdd mounted on my filesystem, i was kinda hoping it would make file transfer faster, but it didnt, its slower still [06:35] I thought I accomplised something special when I got to the boot screen [06:35] monkey__: 839.7 and 102.5 [06:35] All I get are the panel properties with orientation and the such. [06:35] BoltClock: you can try reinstalling.. but it will take your afternoon away I guess [06:35] Roky, well the last piece of advice i can give u is this site: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/10/04/compiz-fusion-on-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbin/ [06:36] victorneo: reinstalling ubuntu? [06:36] Plenox9: don't do it from your current working desktop, goto desktop 2 (assuming you are on desktop 1 atm) right click on the bottom panel, till u find window list [06:36] Roky-otherwise i dunno [06:36] victorneo: i have an apparently lightning fast computer, ubuntu installed within ten minutes yesterday :/ [06:36] BoltClock: yeah, since you would at least be able to access a low gfx ubuntu [06:37] genii: nice [06:37] Ubuntu takes around 30-45 mins for me. thats taking my time === Allthenicksareta is now known as omgbbqwtf [06:37] BoltClock: great, you can try reinstalling again so we can work from a low gfx ubuntu [06:37] Thats better [06:37] actually, the moment after i installed ubuntu, it could display in a very large resolution and not in low gfx mode... except that there was mad flickering [06:37] rajasun, I know what the problem is now. I've wasted your time. :P [06:37] monkey__: I'm on a laptop with 802.11n, wrt54g wap, speedstream 6520 modem/router based in Toronto Canada, ADSL [06:38] when i enabled the restricted driver i get no more flickering but needed to run in low gfx mode [06:38] ANYONE???? [06:38] and soon both cases needed low gfx mode -.- [06:38] Plenox9: np [06:38] :) [06:38] victorneo: how would i in the first place reinstall ubuntu then? [06:38] rajusun ... can I waste your time now/ [06:38] ubotu [06:38] sams_gibbon,??? [06:38] hello i am having problems using a scx-4200 samsung printer over a network --any one got any ideas (it works on other comps) [06:38] BoltClock: Normally after you set to use the restricted driver, after you reboot it should *just work* [06:39] i read that u can mount win partitions in the /mnt than /media so its mounted but still doesn show up in the desktop...can some one enlighten me on how to change the mount point from /media to /mnt... [06:39] posted it a few min ago was waitin thats why :D [06:39] genii: i am on laptop 802.11g, via westell modem. [06:39] dsl [06:39] victorneo: yeah i had expected that too... so how do i reinstall it? [06:39] sams_gibbon, Do you just wnt to read your win partion? [06:39] want [06:39] sams_gibbon, /mnt is for manual temporary mounts. /media is for automatic temporary mounts [06:40] nope..i want it to be rw but just not show up in the desktop [06:40] what is an easy to use console text file editor? [06:40] BoltClock: Did you install via the Live CD? you can install it the same way, just get Ubuntu to install over your existing Ubuntu [06:40] OK -- I have an ati x1650 (AGP) -- and I can finally get ubuntu past the boot screen (live cd) using the nolapic command edit -- but after the checks, my screen goes black and my monitor goes into standby (so the vid card isnt sending signals obviously)-- nosplash has 0 effect [06:40] viking: nano is the easiest, but there's also emacs and vim [06:40] so theres no hope for me dsnyders? :( [06:40] sams_gibbon, I think you need ntfs3g for that.. [06:40] victorneo: yes live CD. ill restart now [06:41] ubuntu is so great [06:41] sams_gibbon: edit the /etc/fstab and change all /media/wherever to /mnt/wherever also make those directories [06:41] well night ... thats nice to hear [06:41] thats it geni???? [06:41] sams_gibbon: I just told you: edit the /etc/fstab and change all /media/wherever to /mnt/wherever also make those directories [06:41] oh...gr8..thanks a ton [06:41] sams_gibbon: edit the file with admin privelege of course [06:41] gedit can edit configuration files as well [06:42] so many great alternative solutions [06:42] sams_gibbon: sudo gedit /etc/fstab to edit it with gedit [06:42] how do i vlc stream a file for my buddie.. will he need to view thefile on VLC ? [06:42] Id like to get mine working -- thatd be nice [06:42] joot: It's not that he can't read his drives. He just wants them not appearing on desktop so therefore not in /media folder but to mount under /mnt instead [06:43] Hi All! Is there a utility to merge directories that doesn't merge files, or compare files at different depths of the directory trees? [06:43] Hey guys,I recently found and have been using the program XQF (a game server browser) I'm wondering if its possible to add custom games to its game list provided you know the master server details and such. If so, how is this done? [06:43] dsnyders, not sure exactly what you mean, but check diff -r which compares directories [06:44] genii: I believe you can use gconf to disable Nautilus from showing the drive icons, but they remain in /media [06:44] i'm thinking of getting an XFX video card, anybody using one? [06:44] victorneo: Ah, nice. Haven't seen that one yet [06:44] Genii, oh ok sorry if I made a bad :-( [06:44] OK -- I have an ati x1650 (AGP) -- and I can finally get ubuntu past the boot screen (live cd) using the nolapic command edit -- but after the checks, my screen goes black and my monitor goes into standby (so the vid card isnt sending signals obviously)-- nosplash has 0 effect [06:44] night_slither: their web server sucks, got a NullPointerException stack dump when visiting their page :P [06:45] genii: this should help: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-193470.html [06:45] victorneo: Bookmarked [06:45] any software to recover a accidentaly reformated hard disk [06:45] hmmm, the cards good though?? [06:45] why not use the desktop for its intended purpose [06:45] ubud there is but most of it is commercial software and hardware [06:46] night_slither: in that aspect I can't say, I am no good with hardware :( [06:46] Gnine, too easy. too sensible. [06:46] omgbbqwtf: Plug another monitor into the other output and see if the video is going there [06:46] night_slither, different brands of nvidia cards should all generally be good, they all use the same driver. [06:46] someone here recommend something call test drive [06:46] ease of use rings a bell indeed.. [06:46] yeah, i have ati now, i don't like it at all but its old [06:46] victorneo: im on the live CD now [06:46] cannot remember that software for recover hard disk, free of course [06:47] ubud i dont knw of that, i would google the name and cross reference revocer with it [06:47] open gl is really bad on ubuntu [06:47] BoltClock: Try installing Ubuntu over your exising Ubuntu [06:47] mmm---maybe a fix ... brb [06:47] victorneo: going through setup now [06:47] thanks victorneo from ur link i got this...the exact answer to my probs in detail...http://www.joshgerdes.com/blog/2007/10/30/move-mounted-partition-icons-from-the-desktop-in-ubuntu-710/ [06:47] as long as the drive hadnt been written onto, or data overlapping, the data untouched is likely to be recovered given its not been encrypted [06:47] thanks everyone [06:47] !opengl [06:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about opengl - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:47] omgbbqwtf: I have that exact same card incidentally on one of my machines. No issue on install. It may be something with your motherboard [06:48] bah he left [06:48] sams_gibbon: have fun ;) [06:48] What's good to use to burn .vob and .ifo files to a dvd so they can be played in a dvd player? I've tried several programs such as DeVeDe, ManDVD and qDVDauthor. Except for DeVeDe they work fine at making the files for a dvd but never proceed with burning the disc so I would like a stand alone burner program. [06:48] Is there any special way that I should install vmware server? [06:48] victorneo: wait hold on theres some small data i just forgot to back up, can i back up from live CD first? [06:49] !testdrive [06:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about testdrive - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:49] BoltClock: In your existing Ubuntu? you can copy it to a thumbdrive or something :) [06:49] well anyone using a 64 FX [06:49] has anyone heard of firefox causing gusty to hard lock rnadomly?

[06:51] how is it with ubuntu? [06:51] dsnyders, can't think of a way to do that without writing some python or similar tool code.

[06:56] access to data comes with some responsibility [06:56] misslecommand: /etc/hosts [06:56] or soemthng that will act as it [06:56] BoltClock: I'll apologize for my inability to assist, I am going for the night, good luck [06:57] scguy318: its ok. good night [06:57] alanbshepard70, if you want a burnder gnomebaker is my reccomend [06:57] victorneo thank you [06:57] scgy318: good night [06:57] burner [06:57] scguy318: good night [06:57] misslecommander: no prob, just learnt it in my linux class 2 weeks ago ;) [06:57] victorneo: got a blog too? lol [06:57] victorneo: wait, i told google not to index my wordpress.com blog...

[07:04] little while* [07:04] boltclock, yes [07:05] ok [07:05] !permissions [07:05] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [07:06] bah. that is a synonym of !fhs [07:06] 95% [07:08] Creed: A better explanation than whats there or in the manpage http://www.pageresource.com/cgirec/chmod.htm [07:09] victorneo: here i am, on reinstalled gutsy [07:09] BoltClock: So its in low gfx mode? [07:09] boltclock, that did not take so long huh?? [07:09] in normal gfx mode. restricted driver disabled. screen flickers madly when dragging or scrolling [07:09] joot: yeah, guess 4 GB RAM and a dual core processor were worth it :) [07:10] Need help with Compiz Fusion Themes [07:10] BoltClock: try enabling the restricted drivers, then restart your PC [07:10] boltclock, Too true :-) [07:11] alright thanks genii, its 777 :) [07:11] wait... downloading updates. [07:11] genii, thought id have to mess with special permissioms but the default takes care of it [07:11] so after i enable the driver, the expected thing to happen is everything returns to normal? [07:11] and restart* [07:11] Creed: It's good to be conservative with permissions and use 777 sparingly [07:11] I can't seem to get my wireless card working. I tried what was directed on http://i-eat-noobs.blogspot.com/2007/08/get-wireless-working-in-ubuntu-704.html to no avail. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. [07:11] How can you boot without loading modules listed in the /etc/modules. I need to disable one of the drivers, but it's causing a lockup before I can get to the modules file to remove it so it doesn't load. [07:11] BoltClock: It should boot up in a normal resolution [07:12] rajasun, good news and bad news. The problem is compiz. [07:12] victorneo: hopefully itll work. if it does ill move on to sound because right now i cant hear a thing [07:12] Without it running, it works fine. With it, it acts like it's not really switching workspaces [07:12] ground up, try using wifi radar sometimes it just works [07:12] genii, yeah, its a question on a college assignment heh couldnt figure it out since the teachers likes to be an ass and make the questions confusing [07:12] genii, ive been a systems admin for a couple years now, rarely do i use 777 :) [07:13] BoltClock: Good luck dude, there should be around 200+ updates to download [07:13] victorneo: 169 updates :) [07:13] boltclock, sounds are often off by default so you have to turn them on [07:13] gettign a 403 from security.ubuntu.com .... [07:13] how do i check if there is an update ? i chose to not do auto-update [07:13] joot: Sound is off by default? [07:13] Okay, to clarify, I can see the network. I can't connect to the network. The network is working and I can connect on this laptop through Windows and all of my other laptops. [07:14] misslecommander: sudo apt-get update then followed by sudo apt-get upgrade [07:14] joot: when my dad installed feisty on his own pc many months ago sound was on by default. and well feisty screwed up his stuff [07:14] and he never trusted linux again [07:14] len: if you add the module to /etc/modprobe.d/blackist it will not load at boot [07:14] victorneo thank you once again [07:14] misslecommander: no problem [07:15] anyone used to customising thunderbird? [07:15] Creed: It's a trick question then [07:15] BoltClock: Well, it really depends on the PC [07:15] Creed: Because write access to all users is not also execute or read access [07:15] boltclock, Ouch I have had some problem with ubuntu but it has never killed anything [07:15] trying to make it so signatures are inserted above the quote (in replies) [07:15] genii, yeah but 777 is the only thing that fit well so i went with it, 50/50 so mustve been right heh [07:15] hey does any1 here know how to connect to the 2600 irc cause i can never connect to it [07:16] hey can someone help me test to see if my website is showing up? [07:16] LEECHY9: 2600, like the magazine? [07:16] Creed: Techically the correct answer would be 222 [07:16] victorneo, yes on some installations pays to check before trying to config something that is not swithed on [07:16] ya [07:16] why dont we deal with my sound issue first? [07:16] pls msg me if you would like to help [07:16] victorneo: the first thing i should do is to double-click that volume icon right? [07:16] BoltClock: yeah [07:16] can i get the link that has a ton of tips and howtos for doing stuff in gutsy? [07:16] LEECHY9 you do know what that is, i would gather ? [07:17] like installing video drivers, and installing software, and getting scanners and printers running? [07:17] BoltClock: Does it show anything as mute or something? because I haven't had a problem with sound yet [07:17] i would gather? [07:17] LEECHY9: well first you would have to connect to irc.2600.net [07:17] some of them i think you need to be member of sorts, auth [07:17] victorneo: it looks like its muted. [07:17] i tried it [07:17] some good games?

[08:13] :/ [08:14] Hello everyone. I am planning to run 2 monitors from a PCI card and a built in, motherboard video chipset. Can anyone foresee any problems, or should it just work by using the Screen and Graphics preferences menu in gnome? I'm running Gutsy. [08:14] victorneo, possibly yes but i am not good enough to reccomend a course of action as I tend to crash around until I get a fix or break [08:15] joot: yeah, same here. i have an ATI card so i can't help him much if the restricted drivers don't work [08:15] victorneo: i used to have an ATI card on my previous box [08:15] victorneo: since rollercoaster tycoon 3 prefers ATI [08:15] what is a good translation program ? [08:16] Hello [08:16] can you tell me that how can i download a particular filetype from a server using wget? [08:16] victorneo: took me a while before i could use the nvidia-gtk-new. i had to eliminate it as a problem so i could diag other problems [08:16] routerl: maybe, this is the first release with the dual monitor stuff in Screen and Graphics... I'd expect improvements from future releases [08:16] victorneo, I have both the ATI is a pita but I got the nvidias to work good after a bit of fooling around [08:17] joot: same here. i am now running full effects [08:17] what can be done when setup of the ttf-opensymbol package returns "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice: failed to write cache" in a "Updating fontconfig cache..." command?

[08:17] is there a good tutorial to learn bash scripting? [08:17] misslecommander: Mayhap he needs to verify that he has either of the nvidia drivers installed [08:17] misslecomander, cool :-) [08:17] IndianGrl: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/index.html [08:17] misslecommander: which one do you have installed?

[09:18] lewwy: i run it, but it was hard to get it going, i had same issue pretty much, [09:18] after i run the Synaptic Package Manager, and Install WHATEVER, what should I see after??? [09:18] lewwy: you ping from the network side? [09:19] how do you mean n2diy [09:19] i'm getting a Failed to initialize HAL error once i boot into gnome. [09:19] lonejack: what is checked ? i checked them all except source code, alot of my problems installing went away [09:19] I pinged it from a PC that was on the network, no response [09:19] Chin1, if its a program youshould see it on the menu, if its libraries you wont see it anywhere unless yuousearch for it [09:19] can someone help me with this .... [09:19] ping 127.0.0.1 or ping localhost [09:20] should i see an APP somewhere in System? or under Application ? [09:20] if you get that, its configuration thing [09:20] lewwy: ok, can you ping the router from the other computer? [09:20] does anyone know any proxy software i can use ... ?? [09:20] Chin1: check the restricted drivers manager ahain [09:20] Drixx: tor? [09:20] yeh i can n2diy [09:20] *again [09:20] Chin1, what did you install [09:20] also if i ping 192.168.1.10 from the affected pc (the pc thats in question) then i get a response [09:20] so effectively, loopback works [09:21] Starnestommy: when i use tor ... the site is always timed out ... [09:21] lewwy: ok, can you ping 127.0.0.1 at the broken computer? [09:21] Starnestommy: any other u would recomend [09:21] Drixx: are you trying to run a proxy server for others or connect your computer to the internet through a proxy? [09:22] lewwy: have you checked Network ? network settings, make sure you settings match your router to the T [09:22] Here's the thing I really don't get. Wireless was choppy with gnome-network-manager, so I installed WICD, which made wireless sing. Suddenly, for no reason, it starts locking up on "obtaining IP address". So I set the damn thing manually, and it actually "connects" to the router. Now I get destination host unreachable after forcing IP's. [09:22] Drixx, tor is an onion router relay + proxie for proxie opnly use something else [09:22] but i'll go check loopback and network settings [09:23] Starnestommy: i'm i a hostel ... our server does'nt allow us to connect to certain sites like orkut n etc ... [09:23] lewwy: i tried to use Knetwork Manager alongside Network Manager, and it botched things all to heck, i run niether now, and hav eliminated the problems [09:23] lewwy: good luck. [09:23] I installed a different nvidia package...the (nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-glx-new-dev) those two, and nothing is happening..!!! [09:23] does 7.10 support paravirtualisation? if yes then howto switch it on? [09:23] Drixx: ah, so you'll need to find a proxy server that someone's running [09:23] misslecommander_: ubuntu sw download form internet: open source canonical/ community/ proprietary drivers(nvidia)/ sw with copyright; Third part sw: http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner [09:23] Starnestommy: i need something to open other sites .... [09:23] what should i do now, or what should i see after ? [09:23] hello. my internet connection (pppoe) works fine in windows, but keeps disconnecting intermittently in linux. what could be the problem? it connects and works fine for a while, but keeps disconnecting. i am usually able to connect back immediately, but it's really irritating if it keeps disconnecting, esp. when i'm trying to have a voice conversation or send large attachments. any ideas as to why this may be happening or how i can go about fixing it? i [09:24] lonejack: whats that for ? not sure i am getting what you are saying [09:24] Starnestommy: so how do i get started ?? [09:24] Drixx: search on the internet for lists of proxy servers [09:24] Drixx: started with what? [09:25] arunkale: how many PC's are connected to the router ? [09:25] google free proxies [09:25] n2diy, loopback pings perfectly, but still no response from downstairs pc [09:25] How can I access my Samba server? [09:25] Starnestommy: our server blocks that too ... [09:25] misslecommander_: a few i guess, not sure of the exact number. what's on your mind [09:25] lewwy: what does "ifconfig" tell you? [09:25] !samba | BernardB [09:25] BernardB: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [09:25] Drixx: when you tried tor, did it always time out? [09:26] Starnestommy: yes ... [09:26] n2diy, the pc's upstairs, what are you chasing specifically [09:26] throughput, if the router is set up to "que" packets, the throughput is affected [09:26] lewwy: ifconfig should report all your i/o interfaces. [09:26] misslecommander_: excuse. it was about for synaptic -> setup->archives.. [09:26] Drixx: I think your server might be blocking tor connections [09:26] ifconfig does just so [09:26] misslecommander_: how do i get past that? and why is that not a problem with windows? [09:27] n2diy, ifconfig reports on lo, eth0, wlan1 (USB WAN adapter) and wlan4 (inbuilt netgear wan card, doesnt work for some reason) [09:27] Does anyone use LVM on a regular desktop system? Think it's worth the effort? [09:27] Starnestommy: so can i change some configs in firefox ?? [09:27] arunkale: it's an idea, i have seen that happen before [09:27] misslecommander_: any solutions for the problem? [09:28] lewwy: Ok, so you are seeing what you expected? Now, what does the other computer see?

[10:29] arcad3: you can use dynamic dns [10:29] Exospaciac: try downloading it again. It may have been a corrupt save [10:29] DRebellion, so i just use the same set of ubuntu which install in the hdd and plug it in into the new mobo ? [10:29] Littleninjai: Wine actually handles it alright, http://frankscorner.org/index.php?p=office2003 is a good link if your willing to try it [10:29] Creationist: no not at all [10:29] jason: use the old ubuntu hard driveds and put them into the new computer. [10:29] ok thx a lot [10:29] i'll try [10:29] DRebellion, do you have URL/link on how to do just that? [10:30] jason: no, sorry [10:30] astro76: Well, I know a whois reports they are in the same state as me.... thought the first two sets of numbers being the same would mean we were using the same gateway, so-to-speak [10:30] I get an X-error when I try launching apps like azureus, vlc, ... does anyone know why? http://pastebin.ca/863054 [10:30] arcad3: http://dyndns.org [10:30] DRebellion, based on what you said it is portable like you have mentioned? [10:31] got it [10:31] sandr-: there was a problem with some of the xorg update packages. The channel's /topic message says something about it [10:31] Creationist: no it doesn't mean that at all, especially with comcast, there are only 255 or less to a subnet, each subnet is a separate gateway [10:32] astro76: Oh... well crap. Guess I'll just have to call them. All I need is a city and I'd know who it was lol [10:32] jason: lets just say ive done it and it works, but worksforme doesnt necessarily mean it will work for you [10:32] hi everybody, cold anyone help me please?

[10:34] CK_L: i cant seem to find the logfile. but i remember part of what i did [10:34] jason: it should be as simple as disconnecting the old mobo, taking it out, installing old mobo, and hooking cables back to where they wwere. nowadays, cables only fit in their hole unless theyre compatible, so unless you really bang on them you shouldnt have any problems [10:34] astro76: This is all it says after the IP: .hsd1.mi.comcast.net [10:34] I want to stream music from my Ubuntu laptop to my PS3.

[11:06] ok thanks [11:06] l3ttuc3: yes [11:06] right, i thought i was seeing wrong hehe. [11:06] so pygmymath, after the update I should just reinstall flash ?

[11:07] bert: reinstall is always a plan heh :) i take it you're running it as a user, to /usr/share/firefox, or wherever the default is? [11:07] starnestommy, are you sure that this one didn't get broken with the other flashstuff [11:07] bert: just download flash from adobe.com because the flash installer is broken, and frankly, the instructions on ubuntuforums are absurdly complicated, when compiling flash from adobe takes all of 10sec [11:07] bert: I just downloaded that yesterday and it works perfectly [11:08] l3ttuc3: its worked fine from me installing 95 & such, just doesnt have the grunt or graphics modes for me [11:08] okey [11:08] I'll try [11:08] Starnestommy what? adobe flash? i had problems with it too, but i downloaded their installer about 5 days ago. [11:08] l [11:08] I only have an old PC with only one hdd with 38.5 gb...so i prefer virtual box for the moment.... [11:09] thx starnestommy, it works perfectly :D [11:09] chris710: then seek help from virtualbox [11:09] pygmymath i was desperate to get ypops working on it, because i couldnt do so on ubuntu, then i read a post somewhere and compiled it from source... so now, i dont really need to use virtualbox. i would be nice to have for some software though. im not sure why it crashed my system. the symptoms i was getting were system freeze for about 2 seconds, and erratic keyboard capture. [11:09] 13ttuc3: i had problems with it the other day, but fixed itself [11:10] how can i auto start an application when i log in?

[11:11] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> DRebellion, found it, mkisofs [11:11] umm, anyone know how i get rid of the default ubuntu icon on 'applications' in my top panel and replace that with something else? i don't want to change the whole icon theme, just that one icon. please someone. it's been bugging me for a while!

[11:14] Akshaylike it will only resize linux-type filesystems (if you're using gparted). there is a little dialog that tells you what options it supports on what filesystem. [11:14] l3ttuc3: i thought you meant you want it as 1 button, not a series of buttons (more like a traditional w*nd*ws start menu) [11:14] when i install a program, what directory does it install to? [11:14] lardarse oh no, i want a different icon, the little ubuntu circle gets on my nerve (mostly its colour). [11:14] azlon: depend on the program. usually files get scattered around. [11:15] i want to start skype when i log in, but i dont know where to find the file [11:15] azlon: most that i have seen, are in Applications [11:15] Is it possible that Linux doesn't mount ntsf, because during installation of the Linux I choose wrong ext3 partition primary/logical? [11:15] azlon: it scatters itself across the directory structure :) [11:15] lardarse hah, i haven't started using linux to have it look like windows, sorry, that would be retarded. [11:15] azlon: open up a terminal. type 'which skype' [11:15] tell me something: say I want to use wine to run a program that requires installation, in this case Packet Tracer, is that possible? [11:15] azlon: the button on the egde of the screen, usaully top [11:15] l3ttuc3: heh... no idea, sorry... if you do find out though, can you send a pm to "Lardarse" on the ubuntu forums telling me how you did it please? [11:15] Shai_A: yes. wine creates a virtual 'c' drive in your home directory [11:16] (gecko:12369): Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'Tahoma 12' [11:16] Segmentation fault (core dumped) [11:16] Shai_A: what is packet tracer? [11:16] TallHunkDan: use a different font. [11:16] my firefox crashes all the time and this is the error message - (gecko:12369): Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'Tahoma 12' [11:16] Segmentation fault (core dumped) [11:16] can i for a browser? [11:16] does someone know why firestarter always chrashes ? [11:16] lardarse well, i've looked in a couple of locations, no joy. and i know some themes replace it altogether, but that would involve making changes to those that don't have it; besides, it seems to default to that icon when it doesn't find one in a theme. [11:16] DRebellion: that worked perfectly, thanks [11:16] timob: Packet Tracer is a program created by Cisco for students of the CCNA. [11:17] TallHunkDan: I am pretty sure you can override font settings in ffox. let me check. [11:17] azlon: always here to help ;) [11:17] i'll have to keep asking around. i cant even begin to figure out how to look for that on google. [11:17] it emulates the CLI you find in routers and stuff like that [11:17] a [11:17] l3ttuc3: it could be, that they are looking in /usr/share somewhere [11:17] !flash > asdsdas [11:18] Shai_A: ok .... i see , you may get it working with wine .... try it [11:18] and that by replacing an image in there, you could change it... but.. that sounds like pot luck [11:18] lardarse i tried that, pixmaps has a big 'ubuntu.svg' that i plain replaced with something else. logged out and came back, it was still the same. [11:18] TallHunkDan: for now, try firefox->settings->content->advanced (under font) and deselecting "Let sites choose their own font" [11:18] asdsdas: when directing ubotu to yourself, please use the syntax - '/msg ubotu ' [11:18] thoguht so [11:18] heh [11:18] tomd - any solution? [11:18] aa [11:18] there is also a start-here.svg or .png somewhere that i tried to change, no joy there either. [11:18] ok :) [11:18] TallHunkDan: and obviously, don't pick Tahoma for your default font. [11:18] if you can work out how to find the theme definition files, they might have the answer [11:19] ok ill try [11:19] thanks tomd [11:19] DRebellion: dude i see don't have link for ubuntu 7.10 :S [11:19] lardarse yes, i tried that too, but i think i might have made some mistakes editing the files (tedious) and didn't get any good results that way either. im looking for something simple. oh besides, is there a theme editor for gnome? [11:19] any news on gimp-svg for gutsy? [11:19] looks ugly [11:19] looks ugly tomd [11:19] i find my misfortune replicated here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=408934 [11:19] l3ttuc3: no... :-( which tehre was, though [11:20] how do all those people make themes for gtk/gnome? there's a fair few out there. please don't tell me they do those manually. [11:20] TallHunkDan automatix2 has a lot of good programs and windows fonts [11:20] how can i get a list of my drives? [11:21] l3ttuc3: probably [11:21] azlon, it depends on what you mean by that. [11:21] azlon: mounted partitions, recognized partitions, or actual physical drives? [11:21] i just what the drive name so i can do: dd if=/dev/ of= [11:21] which is why i haven't tried making a new theme for gedit yet [11:21] azlon: mount [11:22] azlon: use the command 'df' [11:22] DRebellion: instead of dd? [11:22] azlon: no to find the /dev/ entry [11:22] antipop. wat sort of program that isnt in the installer of synaptics? [11:23] azlon, try cat /etc/fstab ? if it's mounted that is. or 'mount'. [11:23] this is what im about to type: dd if=/dev/sda2 of=drive.img [11:23] lardarse i'd be interested more in changing some themes so they look better or have one or two icons or stuff more. [11:23] sda2 is my linux partition, its the only one with ext3 [11:23] azlon: go for it [11:23] sweet [11:23] TallHunkDan search on the web automatix2 [11:23] azlon well, then, you seem to already know what it's called. [11:23] mount should tell you anyway. [11:24] if i call it drive.iso, will i be able to right click on the file and burn it to a cd? [11:24] !automatix | TallHunkDan [11:24] TallHunkDan: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [11:24] and have it work just like any other iso? [11:24] antipop: why are you recommending someone use automatix?.. thats absurd advice [11:24] azlon: nope [11:24] thats wat i read too. automatix is somewhat problematic and not supported [11:24] azlon: though you might be able to use 'mkisofs'. i don't know really [11:24] azlon i dont think so, actually.\ [11:25] TallHunkDan: it works best for those who like to repeatedly install.... what problem are you having? [11:25] Receive error : "configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check" when trying to compile from source using ./configure. Tried to install C++ compiler but error continues. ANy ideas? [11:25] azlon they are two different filesystems. [11:25] azlon: but if you need to get back to this "fresh" state. then you can really easily use the backup image with dd and do it :) [11:25] well i understand that this will now make disk.img... but when i reformat my hard drive, how can i recover the files in disk.img? [11:25] my browser keeps on crashing bec it looks for tahoma font [11:25] guys, can someone help me with a VLC problem... I try to run VLC but it opens and closes straight away... terminal says it's an x srever problem, but I've re-installed evreything and it still wont work (does it need compiz ) help [11:25] IndyGunFreak it easy to use :) why absurd? [11:25] i think the cd filesystem is iso9660 or something, and the one you're getting out of dd is a replica of your ext3 filesystem. [11:25] Da_Putzler: read topic, you have to update [11:26] azlon: you can loopback mount it [11:26] antipop: because it makes a mess of your system, hang out here a while and you'll see why. [11:26] !xine [11:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about xine - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:26] !msgthebot | sandr- [11:26] thx, trying [11:26] sandr-: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot).

[11:26] ok... i will cross the "loopback mount" bridge when i get to it [11:26] azlon: its really straightforward [11:27] I have a question? what is a good video encoder, dose ubuntu come with one by default and what is the path to it? [11:27] azlon there is a program that seems to do the thing for you. read that in linux format magazine, called partimage. i haven't used it, but it is available in the repository. [11:27] sorry guy [11:27] IndyGunFreak i didn't knew ;| [11:27] DRebellion: it just took me 3 days to get this setup with all the drivers and everything, and now im about to install LinuxMCE... so i just dont want to lose everything if something goes wrong [11:27] thanks for the help [11:28] TallHunkDan: never had that problem... thats strange. [11:28] antipop: all the more reason to not be giving advice. [11:28] azlon: just don't lose the file, its crucial [11:28] ok :) [11:28] DRebellion: ok, im going to burn it to a cd and put it on my external HD... [11:28] TallHunkDan: are you sure thast why its crashing [11:29] DRebellion: it doesnt look like its doing anything, it had me enter my passwd, and now its just sitting there... i assume its making the file... but i dont see any activity indication in the terminal [11:29] azlon: that's fine [11:30] hey guys [11:30] <|Quest|> how can i see system stats, an app that shows big variety of sys stats. memory load, cup, internet speed.. etc ? [11:31] I have a question? what is a good video encoder, dose ubuntu come with one by default and what is the path to it? [11:31] if i click on "fetch gpl'd themes" in emerald themer nothing happens... how can i find out whats going on? is there something i can type in the terminal to see whats really happening? dmesg doesnt show anything about it..

[11:40] * IndyGunFreak vomits KDE when he's sick [11:40] l3ttuc3: look for an object_type of menu-object [11:41] l3ttuc3: or menu-bar [11:42] lardarse right, let me have a look. you mean, when you change it, it reflects the change immediately? [11:42] and try /usr/share/pixmaps/apple-green.png for an image.. that'll eb noticable [11:42] and yeah, as soon as you selct use custom icon, it updates [11:42] lardarse what about svg? [11:43] i just took the easiest image that i could find... try anything :-) [11:43] l3ttuc3: hmm... [11:43] it seems that eh menu-bar desn't update straight away [11:43] but the main menu (menu-object) does [11:44] lardarse: no luck. it's that one all right, when i untick lock to panel, it's reflected there, but not the pixmap.

[11:47] i don't know... nautilus does [11:47] i thought it would just show up on my desktop, but its not [11:47] so, my guess is "probably"... and just remember that you can restart X if you need to :-) [11:47] azlon: well, generally it does. [11:48] yes i know, but it's a pain to restart x. have to log on again. [11:49] IndyGunFreak: what if it is formatted in NTFS... will it still recognize it?

Can someone help me get this problem fixed (here is a url with the error I get http://img237.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotjv5.png)? [12:06] what do I do if I can't compile some drivers because they complain about linux/config.h and other files missing from the kernel headers? [12:07] Pirate_Hunter_: i saw a thread on that phone on ubuntuforums.org... [12:07] reinis: you install kernel headers [12:07] <|Quest|> Codemaster got it [12:07] reinis: 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)' [12:07] help?:-) [12:07] erawfish: I've installed the headers already [12:07] IndyGunFreak: its different, I checked, Im running it through vbox [12:07] oh ok.

[12:08] <|Quest|> bazhang can i further discuss it? [12:08] I do but its a hasle and I dont want to come off linux just to use the phone [12:08] supposedly the kernel structure or something has changed so I can't compile the drivers :/ [12:08] !doesnt work | DArtagnan [12:08] DArtagnan: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [12:08] |Quest|: in #ubuntu-offtopic sure [12:09] reinis: maybe the drivers you are trying to compile are not compatible with the ubuntu's kernel version [12:09] !xbug | greudin [12:09] greudin: A bug has recently caused an X.org package to break.

[12:16] erUSUL, my cpu has to have hardware support for virtualization in order to use kvm then ? [12:16] does anyone can tell me how share a directory quickly? [12:16] DRebellion: yeah I got version 9 on there [12:16] babo: and they denote capabilities of the CPU like sse support 3dnow if its 64 bit or virtualization support etc [12:16] I have ubuntu virtualizzed (on vmware) and I want to communicate with winxp [12:16] babo: yes [12:16] DRebellion: but that's like a year old [12:16] bah, why doesn't it give cli instructions.

[12:17] babo: obviously if your cpu does not support kvm you have to use other solutions like qemu+kqemu [12:17] jkonami: if you really need the latest version, then you could download the source and compile no? [12:17] !virtualizers | babo [12:17] babo: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [12:17] DRebellion: sigh, alright, I guess I'll install it by hand [12:17] Does Dell Inspiron 1721 work 100% on GNU/Linux?

It won't use SDL, and when i connect with vnc full-screen, it's still really small and useless ... [12:18] !hardware > davi (read the pm from ubotu) [12:18] erUSUL, is kvm good ? [12:18] babo: well kvm uses qemu userspace tools so it will suck in the same ways [12:18] bazhang: hmm it works for me by right click well vbox does detect my fone even knowing the software is installed in XP and gives me an error like: Failed to attac USB nokia n73 [0100] etc [12:18] davi: presuming it has preetty generlaized parts, it should be fine [12:18] babo: kvm is a "qemu fork" [12:18] erUSUL, ah. does kvm work for you ? [12:19] Codemaster, thanks [12:19] babo: to make a long explanation short ;P [12:19] Pirate_Hunter_: you trying to sync your phone with database calendar et al?

It just asks me to save it. [12:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about virtualisation - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [12:32] peanutwithchocol: although performance is questionable [12:32] Eax: i thought so at first, but then, i find it was somethign much more simple to fix, than going all through the ndiswrapper thing [12:32] DRebellion yes it is.. /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [12:32] DRebellion: sorry, i'm spanish [12:33] Eax: what kind of card is it ? [12:33] Hi! I'm trying to upgrade my Ubuntu 6.06 to 6.10. Instructions says that I should type 'gksu "update-manager -c"' to console. I do that, password is asked and updatemanager starts. But there's no option to for any upgrades. [12:33] RB2: do you have the firefox flash plugin installed? [12:33] Misslecommander: How do I do it then? :) I have the Atheros AR5007EG :) [12:33] PasiM: 6.06 and 6.10 are not an upgrade path due to one being lts and non-lts the other [12:33] RB2: it would also be better if you can give me the link to the thing, so i can see if i can play it [12:33] hk2999, yeah. I have no problems displaying embedded flash [12:33] PasiM: you need to change the repo's manually [12:33] RB2: the flash package is currently broke [12:33] ikonia: there are alternatives? [12:33] how do i reinstall the gnome desktop ? [12:33] peanutwithchocol: pear is probably the most solid [12:34] tomasso: why do you want to reinstall it ? [12:34] hk2999, http://zissue.berlios.de/z3/hello.swf [12:34] Eax: deal with the simple things first, like making sure setting are correct. could be something simple and making it harder than it needs to be, i will check compat list, if i can [12:34] ikonia, I thought that was if you were trying to install it and that existing installations were ok. [12:35] ikonia the gdm was failing, and when load the gnome it doesnt show the taskbar anymore, plus the skin is different [12:35] RB2: existing flash plugins before the adobe update should be ok [12:35] Misslecommander: Thanks :) But I've tried pretty much anything I can think of. I formatted this morning, used the tutorial here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=512828&highlight=Atheros and got to step 5. Before I formatted it worked (used that guide) [12:35] tomasso: they are all personal settings so re-installing won't change them [12:35] tomasso: gdm is nothing to do with gnome also [12:35] ikonia, Yeah, I installed the flash plugin.... I believe with Gutsy RC [12:35] RB2: ok [12:35] ikonia, thanks though [12:35] this wrong settings came up after a restart [12:36] tomasso: so fix them [12:36] RB2: it works on me [12:36] hi [12:36] tomasso: things like themes are held in your home dir - so re-installing gnome won't change that [12:36] RB2: drag the file to firefox [12:36] is this a newbie channel? [12:36] szelei: hi [12:36] i'm looking for one [12:36] szelei: it's an ubuntu support channel [12:36] szelei: feel free to ask any ubuntu support questions [12:36] fine thx [12:36] well [12:37] DRebellion: How to change this -> (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 [12:37] I have some problems with compiz fusion [12:37] RB2: did it work on yours now?

It's strange though how it didn't work otherwise [12:37] it seems to crash the window decorations at random times [12:37] How can I force an unmount? [12:37] BernardB: umount -f [12:37] ikonia i know but i want to change the address of apache2 [12:37] teodra: change the config file then [12:38] ikonia what's the name of the config file :) [12:38] teodra: "Listen" is the directive in the file you need to change [12:38] teodra: httpd.conf [12:38] ok [12:39] ikonia, I still can't unmount. It says it's busy, but an installation asks for a second CD, so it shouldn't be busy. [12:39] BernardB: are you installing something from a mounted cdrom ? [12:39] szelei, do you mean the titlebars disappear, etc? [12:39] RB2: this is a reasonably common bug, sometimes down to drivers, sometimes down to specific plugins [12:39] right [12:40] RB2: what video card do you have [12:40] BernardB, what says lsof ? [12:40] nvidia 8500GT [12:40] RB2: sorry - that wasn't meant for you [12:40] ikonia, I'm installing something with a mounted image, yes. [12:40] BernardB: ok - so the installer is running from that cdrom [12:40] BernardB: so the cdrom IS in use [12:40] ikonia, np [12:40] But it says: please insert the next CD. [12:40] BernardB: you need to mount the second CDROM image at the same time [12:40] BernardB: yes - it wants MORE data [12:41] BernardB: the actual installer program is being run from your mounted cdrom [12:41] Launchpad is awfully slow this morning... [12:41] bazhang : could you tell me if iptable is launched automatically when my pc starts up ? [12:41] ikonia, so when I start the installation, I have to mount CD 2 as well? [12:41] BernardB: just mount it now [12:41] Rev: it doesn't [12:41] In an other map? [12:41] Rev: unless you've wrote a script to do it [12:41] BernardB: yeah [12:41] and I found some description in the bug tracker a while ago, describing how to change the compiz config file, but it didn't change anything [12:41] ikonia : still not working :S /etc/init.d/apache2 start i use this command to start it but nothing i stil get unable to connect :( [12:41] BernardB: eg: /media/cdrom and /media/cdrom2 [12:42] ikonia : ok. thx for info. i will then look for one. [12:42] teodra: what have you changed the Listen Address to ? [12:42] I just mount it to the Desktop. [12:42] if you can find anyone that can run ndiswrapper, let me know. [12:42] and Firefox is bugged to heck [12:42] <`Zmax`> Hello everybody, I cannot surf the internet using my wifi router as an access point. I have an Intel wifi card and installed the right driver (iwl3945). Here the iwconfig, dmesg and wifi-radar errors [ http://rafb.net/p/6ovGBE52.html ] and the /etc/rc.conf [ http://rafb.net/p/9WlItx73.html ]. Any suggestions? Thanks. [12:42] playya, do I have to pastebin? [12:42] Hi. I have a machine with a Radeon graphics card in it. I have installed Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10. When I try to apply the restricted drivers it says "Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers." Does that mean Ubuntu is already using the Radeon driver? [12:42] anyone knows a nice Gnome GUI to work (map/mount, unmap/umount) with encrypted partitions?

[13:31] teodra: I apprciciate that, but at the moment apache2 won't start for some odd reason,we need to work that out first [13:31] ikonia, to be honest I don't know the exact location. I was following a guide on google about updating them from the restricted drivers something or other lol [13:32] teodra, it is [13:32] xomp: restricted drivers have not been updated - so you've not got them from restricted drivers manager [13:32] xomp: why did you update them ? [13:32] okey, I have twinview working but does anypne know how to have the top and bottom panels on both screen (like stretched or something) [13:32] ompaul thnx.. so that means that i can install joomla on apache(1) right? [13:32] ikonia, does it look like I need to just re-install everything? I was trying to update them because Compiz wouldn't start :/ [13:32] hey all...are these new xserver-xorg-core in Update Manager the new fixed packages? [13:32] xomp: no idea [13:32] Phocion: correct [13:32] teodra, apache1 should not be used for anytyhing and I have no idea you should use 2 [13:32] Hi, I'm new to Ubuntu and I am having trouble setting up my video cards "restricted drivers". I tried going to system > admin > Restricted Drivers Manager, and ticking the box that enables them, but it didn't work. I received the message "the software source for the package nvidia-glx is not enabled" Could someone help me on enabling drivers for my video card? [13:33] ok cool thank! [13:33] ok [13:33] I had no idea that the ATI Mobility 7500 was an unsupported graphics card for Compiz [13:33] it's what I hate about google, one site says just update, others say it won't work period lol [13:33] such is life :P [13:33] !repos | mopils [13:33] mopils: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

However apache2ctl start doesn't actually start the daemon === marc_ is now known as glimps [13:34] okey, I have twinview working but does anypne know how to have the top and bottom panels on both screen (like stretched or something) [13:34] ompaul: I've removed the NO START 1 to NO START 0 in /etc/default/apache2 to remove the apache1 install no start blocker [13:34] ompaul: open to options [13:34] ompaul: this is teodra's install - not mine so I can't vouch for it's integrity [13:35] ok, off to do a complete format/re-install cheers everybody!

I just need to think and walk this through to what cold be blocking it from launching [13:36] ikonia thanks for the help.. i will format the partition and reinstall ubuntu i am sure it will work thanks again!! bb [13:36] ikonia, teodra assume 1 thing, installed using apt / dpkg --- if so then: sudo dpkg remove --purge apache and then sudo dpkg --reconfigure apache2 if that fails to sort it uninstall and start again for apache2 [13:36] teodra: that seems extreme but it is your call [13:37] Seeking help to map special keys [13:37] ompaul: already done - again, I can't vouch for that [13:37] doing a complete re-install just to get apache working is way extreme [13:38] are there any online chess games i can install?

[13:41] Hi all. I recently replaced my rather dysfunctional dvd drive with another dvd drive and also placed a CD RW into my machine too. I an a little stuck on how to get Ubuntu to see them, as it doesn't think they exist. I'm running gutsy and all updates. I have the cd set as Master, the dvd as slave. I can only see the cd drive in places>computer and it tells me /dev/hdb soes not exist when I try to mount it. Thanks in advance for the help guys :-) [13:42] Nix , i think you need to check /media , /dev or /mnt [13:42] anyone know in which pkg i could find this fille librt.so.1? [13:42] tt_, How would I go about doing a media check in terminal? [13:42] tt_: librte-dev [13:42] thanks idle =) [13:42] nix , cd /media [13:43] Idleone , are you sure of the name?! [13:44] that tkes me into the media directory. [13:44] then do ls [13:44] tt_: I am sure of it in hardy. do apt-cache search librt it should list 2/3 packages [13:44] Now ,thats useful , thanks :-) [13:44] !info librte-dev [13:44] librte-dev: Real Time Encoder Audio/Video library - Development files.

[13:46] tt_: if that package is found/installed then multiverse is enabled. if not ....

[13:50] lardarse it is a pain in the arse (excuse the lousy pun) but it can be done. i just about replaced the icon everywhere. and it makes perfect sense that it should reside in your icon's local /places directory. that's where it defaults to. [13:50] hard disk is hda afaik [13:50] hda , hdb , hdc [13:50] l3ttuc3: nice [13:50] <_nix_> maybe its a cdrom device [13:50] and then hda1 , hda2 , hdb1 , hdb2 [13:50] no one? [13:50] cocox why are you doing it like this? why not do it through system>admin...>network tools>wlan0 and hit configure. then set it manually on that [13:50] the numbers on it , reffers to the partion on the same pysical device [13:50] <_nix_> darkon: you need to have linux-headers or something like that installed [13:51] uhm [13:51] real pain though. [13:51] where could they be? [13:51] <_nix_> darkon: dunno where they're placed however you can run a dpkg -c [13:51] tt_, ehh no people generally don't do 64bit for desktops in this space -- really the only advantage is for the likes of _big_ databases so while it works it makes a lot of work you don't have to do for a desktop with codecs etc [13:51] Ilde0ne you still here?~ [13:51] darkon: sudo apt-get build-dep , perhaps? [13:51] what path [13:51] <_nix_> darkon: the deb file can be found in /var/cache/archive/apt/ [13:51] So it is trying to tell me my hdd doesn't exist when I try to mount media... ?

[13:53] darkon: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` to install, and then you can check /usr/src (which is where mine are I think) [13:53] tt_, so what are you compiling?

[14:14] rich__: run it from the terminal and tell me (dont paste in the channel) what the error message is [14:14] mopils: it would be a lot easier to download the source code from adobe.com and use it... then there's not "it might work" as it will work [14:14] Could you help me in removing "Menus" folders in "Main Menu"?! [14:14] kbrooks: It would appear that way. I don't have anything open other than the network monitor and a terminal window which isn't doing anything [14:14] mopils: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [14:14] I'm installing ati fglrx 8.1 from .debs and it appeared: http://www.wklej.org/id/397222469b [14:14] Why doesn't Firefox not remember my choices not to notify of entering or leaving secure pages? [14:14] no one? [14:15] marion: it does for me fine. [14:15] sry it's not in english, but it want me to overwrite compiz file [14:15] is it possible to see what is changing in a package that the udpater wants to update? I've looked at the "developer changelog" tab but it's always empty [14:15] iubtou: once i have run update, do i need to install? [14:15] Flynsarmy, well, be reminded that the system monitor puts all data from loopback and network together in one place, with no clear differentation [14:15] rich__: once you have updated xorg package hit ctrl+alt+backspace [14:15] <_nix_> darkon: you'll have to install linux-headers and after that you can run a dpkg -c to see where everything went [14:15] Hey gys, could anyone help me?! [14:15] i currently have dual boot between Ubuntu and Vista. when i try to boot into Vista i get "Error 12: Invalid device requested". how do i fix this so i can load Vista? [14:15] uhm [14:16] the problem is that [14:16] IndyGunFreak: For me it always asks me to start a new session when I launch it. And is never remembers when I tell it not to warn me. [14:16] Flynsarmy, you will need to use something like um [14:16] !wireshark | Flynsarmy [14:16] hello, can somebody help me configure my network card? [14:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about wireshark - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:16] er [14:16] marion: strange, it works fine for me. [14:16] !anyone | bahman [14:16] bahman: 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?

Could you help me in removing "Menus" folders in "Main Menu"?! [14:17] <_nix_> darkon: duh.. you can't do an apt-get inside ubuntu running on vmware? btw.. please mention the nick you're responding to.. makes life easiar [14:18] its still not working, it opens and then closes [14:18] Flynsarmy, I also suggest you grab a firewall and use it to track the connection so you have some real hard data to look at [14:18] My USB keyboard doesnt always work in Gusty. If I move it to another card then it will usually start working. The keyboard is fine, and both USB cards work fine... any ideas? [14:18] bahman: which main menu? [14:18] gandalf__ we don't do that - so you can either ask your ubuntu related question here or not - anything else is offtopic [14:18] rich__: did you update and upgrade?

In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.3-6ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 393 kB, installed size 1952 kB [14:18] kbrooks: I don't understand how firewalls work in ubuntu. They don't have the really handy accept/deny popups that are in windows. i find it so irritating [14:19] update and the nrun upgrade?

[14:19] (well) [14:19] erUSUL: System > Preferences > Main Menu [14:19] and i must find help [14:19] Flynsarmy, ... may I? ;-) [14:19] kbrooks: Fire away [14:19] ganeshhegde, are any of your netowrk computers names or ip addresses conflicting? IE ~ the same? [14:19] gandalf__, ask your question or please keep quite [14:20] Flynsarmy: Ubuntu hardly even needs a firewall, all the incoming ports are blocked by default untill you open them manually [14:20] !firewall > Flynsarmy: [14:20] bazhang: i ran update and upgrade [14:20] hello guys [14:20] !it | gandalf__ [14:20] gandalf__: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [14:20] nothing has been changed, i used the updater earlier and that installed x server update. [14:20] who want to help me out to get my net up and running please? [14:20] Flynsarmy, the main firewall is iptables, included in the Linux kernel. all other functionality has to be implemented. but see demon_spork [14:20] lvoicu: state the problem [14:20] rich__: could you pastebin the error so everyone can take a look see? the !paste command will tell you where [14:21] IndyGunFreak: It must be just me. [14:21] jeffMASTERflex, i just started to install ubuntu (gnome), and the dhcp is up and running but no IP present [14:21] Could you help me in removing "Menus" folders in "Main Menu" from System > Preferences > Main Menu?! [14:21] marion: can't really explain it. [14:21] Flynsarmy, the accept/deny functionality is MORE irritating to newbies - inherently insecure [14:21] bahman: sorry but i can not see what you want to get rid of [14:21] lvoicu: wireless or wired connection? is it installed or presently installing from the live cd? [14:22] jeffMASTERflex, right, wired! cable [14:22] brb [14:22] lvoicu, System> Admin> Network [14:22] jeffMASTERflex, and now i am in cdlive instaling but without network [14:22] i currently have dual boot between Ubuntu and Vista. when i try to boot into Vista i get "Error 12: Invalid device requested". how do i fix this so i can load Vista? [14:22] Flynsarmy, it requires a whitelist - again inherently insecure - so that you do not get asked questions like "Can Firefox access the Internet?" [14:22] when I try to log in to a ubuntu machine from a windows machine I can't get it to accept my paswword. I've set up smb.conf to allow the shares I want to be public, but still no joy [14:22] lvoicu: you can set up the network manually through System/Admin/Network [14:23] kbrooks: At the moment any program that wants to access the internet does so freely. A firewall with accept/deny popups allows you to choose whether or not they can do it BEFORE they silently download huge amounts without you knowing [14:23] NixPanther:how to check/ [14:23] heya! [14:23] erUSUL: I open Main Menu window! I wanna to delete some folders from the left sidebar! Could you help me?! [14:23] <_nix_> Flynsarmy: there's something like that? where? [14:23] jeffMASTERflex, NixPanther yes the eth0 is roaming enabled [14:23] _nix_, reread his message [14:23] <_moro_bana_> please help, my friend's kpvnc shows that he is connected to the net but the browser cannot load any page [14:23] _nix_, he did not say there was [14:24] lvoicu: you can actually uncheck the roaming enabled mode and have straight dhcp [14:24] hi there [14:24] ganeshhegde, are you using a router? dhcp or static? [14:24] <_nix_> oh.. k [14:24] <_nix_> I've been dying for an application level filter on linux [14:24] do someone have a creative mp3 reader? [14:24] bahman: afaics it is not possible [14:24] how do I disable cpu frequency scaling? [14:24] Could you help me in removing "Menus" folders in "Main Menu" from System > Preferences > Main Menu?! I open the "Main Menu" window! I wanna to delete some folders from the left sidebar but couldn'n! [14:24] hmm... [14:24] erUSUL: Thanks ;) [14:24] <_moro_bana_> nico402: player you mean? [14:24] I need an grammar advice from a english-native-language person! Do we say "Idea brainstorming" or "Ideas brainstorming"? [14:24] yep [14:25] this feature seems to be highly demanded. [14:25] hi! I have to load a colorcorrection with my nvidia settings (my monitor is slightly off color and can't be corrected any further it self). Those settings get undone whenever I update the system or use synaptic. I have to open and close the nvidia settings afterwards. How can I make this happen automaticly? Or avoid it happen in the first place? [14:25] nico402, please state the problem you're having so people can see if they can help? Thanks :-) [14:25] NixPanther: no...a modem..and lan cable for networking [14:25] <_nix_> Switch^: I suppose /etc/init.d/cpufreq stop ... or something to that effect === NMajik|Sleeps is now known as NMajik [14:25] bahman: why does it matter? [14:25] nand just brainstorming but offtopic here [14:25] i just used gparted to format an empty drive from ntfs to ext3, now it's gone...the only place i can see it is in gparted itself [14:25] how can i make it part of my ubuntu filesystem?> [14:25] <_moro_bana_> nand: im not english native but go for the first [14:25] hey when trying to compile glibc 2.5.1 i get the following error: irc.linuxfromscratch.org [14:25] ganeshhegde, Do you have a hub.switch? [14:25] jeffMASTERflex, right, there apeared another interface named eth0:avahi with ip 169... wtf? [14:25] kestir: add it to fstab [14:25] i need to know if there is some way to transfer music to the player from linux before buying it [14:25] *http://linuxfromscratch.pastebin.com/m13c7bcd3 [14:25] _moro_bana_: ok thx [14:26] can't figure out how to check the boxes for the "software selection" installing ubuntu studio ... anyone know what key to push ??? [14:26] erUSUL: I looked in there, but there is a bunch of entries that don't make much sense to me... [14:26] nand: ideas brainstorming is a tautology. Just brainstorming. [14:26] NixPanther:no..just a cable connected and inbuilt lan card [14:26] IndyGunFreak: I just wanna delete some old folders which showed in my main menu! [14:26] <_nix_> ge2x: you need to have gawk installed [14:26] lvoicu: that sounds like you are connected. eth0 is usually your ethernet [14:26] <_moro_bana_> nand: whats your location [14:26] stib: but grammaticaly spealing, should I put an "s" ? [14:26] <_nix_> ge2x: apt-get install gawk [14:26] jeffMASTERflex, yes, but no ip is present ;-) [14:26] bahman: well it should be fairly obvious [14:26] _nix_ i have it and i even did update-alternatives --set awk /usr/bin/gawk [14:26] kestir: you have to add a similar entry for your new ext3 partition [14:26] _nix_, didn't help [14:27] kestir: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html [14:27] jeffMASTERflex, but what is the eth0:avahi with ip 169... ? [14:27] oh excellent, thank you [14:27] kbrooks: No interfaces are displaying in the interfaces drop down [14:27] <_nix_> ge2x: dunno about that now.. but I installed gawk from source and had that path /usr/local/bin before everything.. [14:27] ganeshhegde, you can't create a network just by plugging a cat5 cable from one pc to the next, you need something in between, either a lan hub/switch or a router. [14:27] lvoicu, is that a 169.254.x.x address?? [14:27] nand: well it's wrong grammatically with or without the s. But if you're brainstorming more than one idea, put the s. [14:27] kestir: if you need more help like syntaxis etc ask here [14:27] un0p, right [14:27] ok, giving it a go [14:28] i need to know if there is some way to transfer music to creative players from linux before buying one of them.. [14:28] kestir: also to know the partition uuid use blkid from terminal [14:28] lvoicu, that's an autoconfiguration address meaning no DHCP server could be found.. so the interface assigned itself one [14:28] NixPanther:i did it between 2 windows machine.. [14:28] !uuid | kestir [14:28] kestir: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [14:28] un0p, then I am not connected :-( with a windows laptop I can connect [14:28] hello, i am currently using gutsy and i have removed tracker as i don't want the overhead and the search didn't appear to work properly the way it used to. but now i cannot search from within nautilus and i cannot figure out how to restore the old way of searching can someone help or refer me to info on this thanks. [14:28] IndyGunFreak: Yeah, they fairly obvious, but I don't like it and wanna to remove some old of them from the left sidebar [14:28] Flynsarmy, in wireshark? [14:28] NixPanther: They do make what is called a crossover cable or crossover adapter [14:28] stib: Ok so should I understand that it is a weird combination of words? [14:29] !librt [14:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about librt - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:29] erUSUL: i don't think the uuid is absolutely necessary [14:29] lvoicu, is this over wireless? [14:29] ubotu Main menu [14:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about main menu - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:29] kbrooks: Yes.

[14:29] bahman: you're not making any sense [14:29] NixPanther:its a UTP 4pair/24AWG [14:29] bazhang: not really. [14:30] jeffMASTERflex, un0p if I do ifconfig -a, then I see activity on eth0 but it doesn't get IP (activity on packets) [14:30] NixPanther:ya.. [14:30] IndyGunFreak what?! [14:30] jeffMASTERflex: just to be consistent also if they change the ide drivers again (as in the past) you will be prepared [14:30] lvoicu, tried flapping the interface? - sudo sh -c "ifdown eth0; ifup eth0; dhclient eth0" [14:30] Jack_Sparrow, I forgot about those >< They make my brain ache. Horrible way of doingthings [14:30] you're not making any sense, you want to remove menu options, correct, and you're telling me when you wen tto system/prefs/main menu, you couldn't tell what you needed to do? [14:30] Hello! Can I desactivate the gnome-keyring password? It asks me it everytime I connect to a wireless network with network-manager. I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 64-bit edition [14:30] un0p, nope, I will [14:30] Could you help me in removing "Menus" folders in "Main Menu" from System > Preferences > Main Menu?! I open the "Main Menu" window! I wanna to delete some folders from the left sidebar but couldn't! [14:31] ganeshhegde, what pc has the modem connected? The win pc? [14:31] un0p, be right bqack, i need the cable :D [14:31] lol [14:31] forget it. [14:31] nand: yup. It's a bit off topic too. perhaps you should try another forum for this [14:31] heh IndyGunFreak [14:31] hi people [14:31] NixPanther:ubuntu.. [14:31] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52593/ [14:31] neko_ hi [14:31] rich__: looking now [14:31] What's wrong: http://rafb.net/p/tMQEiC37.html? [14:31] NixPanther: They work and are readily available... especially for a quick connect between normally non-networked machines.. I have one on a keychain attached toone of my laptops [14:31] Where's MrObvious when we need him. :) [14:31] bahman: you have to untick all the programs in that subfolder so that it the main left hand folder does not show in the menu [14:32] is it now safe to install the update of xorg ??? last days it was buggy with eclipse and probably lot of java apps [14:32] ? [14:32] stib: ok thanks. [14:32] bahang: is it something to do with the C library [14:32] jeffMASTERflex: i refuse to break something down that simple, if he coudlnt' figure that out on his own, there was no point in telling him [14:32] NixPanther:thing is just a lan connection...not internet through lan because i hav only 1 port.. [14:32] I'm having trouble logging in to samba shares on an Ubuntu machine from windows XP. It won't accept the password, even though it's correct [14:32] erUSUL: if it is a seperate drive can the mount point be the same as the drive that has my ubuntu install? I'd basically like to combine both drives [14:32] neko_: yes, xorg is good to go now [14:32] yay ! [14:33] thanks [14:33] NixPanther: I was just trying to politely point out that you were not quite correct in saying a single cable between two machines cannot be a network [14:33] rich__: icedtea? [14:33] IndyGunFreak: easy enough, but some people are bricks [14:33] in my menu.lst i see "root (hd0,0)" for my vista partition, how do i verify that it is hd0,0? [14:33] jeffMASTERflex: well, i'm not a sledgehammer [14:33] jeffMASTERflex Yeah I know! But I install lots of programs and then unistall them, so lots of folders in left hand panel of Main Menu Showed to me! [14:33] bazhang: icedtea? what do you mean? [14:33] ganeshhegde, is the networking set up on your ubuntu machine? System>admin>netwrk [14:34] irc://irc.skyrock.com:6667/tunisie [14:34] IndyGunFreak: wow, neither am i, i guess [14:34] jeffMASTERflex Is there any way to remove some of them?! [14:34] rich__: what vm are you using with java icedtea? [14:34] jeffMASTERflex: lol [14:34] azlon: sudo fdisk -l you may have a recovery partition so it may end up being 0,1 [14:34] hi whats's the command to delete a folder in Ubuntu from command line [14:34] Jack_Sparrow, I understood :-) I didn't take offence. I am very forgetful hehe. [14:34] i get this error whne compiling glibc: http://linuxfromscratch.pastebin.com/m13c7bcd3 maybe i need to specify something in ./configure for it to use gawk instead of mawk? [14:34] RoRza: rm -rf /path/to/folder [14:34] kestir: !? no it can not... to combine them you can use lvm but it will requiere much more tweaking [14:34] !cli > rorza (read the private message from ubotu) [14:34] http://imagebin.ca/img/BkZQWTh.png : I have this weird horizontal line over my screen at all time, does anyone know why or what I can do ?

[14:35] hi, [14:35] bazhang: vmware server [14:35] i need help :p [14:35] its not running thoguh [14:35] rich__: ubuntu's azureus packages older than the one in gutsy-backports usually crash with that error, update [14:35] erUSUL: so the mount point will just be a directory I create in / ? [14:35] kestir: the easiest thing to do is to mount it in fstab normally, then save the drive as a bookmark in nautilus [14:35] xscreensaver-command -deactivate don't stop it, only show password dialog [14:35] what's the best ftp client for linux who support PRET, SSL, TSL [14:35] ? [14:36] kestir: yes it can be something in /media/ or /mnt/ [14:36] jeffMASTERflex: yeah, that's what I was thinking, if I'm not going to combine them right now [14:36] rich__: you are running azureus in vmware?

If not then you may need to do a bit of tweaking to both. If they are the same, change the last one/two digits of the ip addess on the windows machine.

Sorry I can't help more than that [14:42] !dualboot > MegaMatt (MegaMatt, see the private message from Ubotu) [14:42] mirdin76: delete your xorg.cong file and reboot. it should boot up again with the VESA drivers enabled [14:42] hi un0p i'm back with the same problem :-( [14:42] I'm having trouble logging in to samba shares on an Ubuntu machine from windows XP. It won't accept the password, even though it's correct [14:42] Thanks. [14:42] rich__: what do you mean? [14:42] jeffMASTERflex: hmm, neat...i think i go it. now that drive is the directory I set it's mount point to? basically, i set it to /mnt and just checked that directory, it's got an extra 250GB [14:42] LjL ok === chaky_ is now known as chaky [14:43] jeffMASTERflex: I did that, VESA are enabled but it says: can't determine grpahics... booting into safe graphics [14:43] mirdin76: did you try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" [14:44] :/ [14:44] coca_cola_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224398 i personally use lftp [14:44] LjL I know that envy is not supported but Restricted manager downloads a version of the nvidia driver that isn't the latest and has a terrible bug [14:44] jeffMASTERflex: yes, minus the -phigh [14:45] mirdin76: what's this terrible bug? [14:45] mirdin76: just say not to envy [14:45] LjL video playback is a screen of crazy green lines [14:45] When you use tab for tab completion in the terminal, and there are multiple files with similar names then shown, is there a way to make it select one of those, ie. to tab through the choices? [14:45] Hi! Is there a separate channel for the CD live environment ? Or should I ask here ? [14:45] i want to use my webcam on 160x120 res using the full image.. if there is a way to grab the image from one videodevice resize it on the fly and putting it to somekind of fake videodevice thats ok to [14:45] MrStein: here [14:46] mirdin76: try it with the -phigh, those are the instructions provided in the xorg.conf file [14:46] mirdin76: and you're sure it is a problem with just that specific version of the driver? [14:46] hi! [14:46] any one could help me with my dhcp problem please? [14:46] bazhang: OK, but i can't install/configure the newer nvidia driver myself [14:46] nikin: you could look at vlc. It can do a lot, maybe even this [14:46] damn [14:47] LjL, yeah, this is what I've learned [14:47] How to mount CIFS ? I used the same command line, that works in other distros (RIPLinux), but in ubunutu (7.10) it says : wrong fstype, bad option ... [14:47] jeffMASTERflex, erUSUL thanks for the help, got it [14:47] NixPanther:no..they are not same.. [14:48] MrStein: you may need to install "smbfs" [14:48] !samba > MrStein (MrStein, see the private message from Ubotu) [14:49] stefg: i am using vlc a lot.. but didnt find any way to do that [14:49] is restricted drivers manager updated often with newer drivers? [14:49] LjL: sure ? cifs is alredy installed [14:49] MrStein: no, not sure, just guessing really. [14:49] ;-) [14:49] MrStein: what i can say is that cifs mounts fine here. [14:49] mirdin76: no, it isn't. they usually only update them with every new release of ubuntu [14:49] Is anyone using the IPv6 connection to freenode ? It seems to no longer function. [14:49] ccc [14:49] when I do ifconfig -a, I see activity on eth0 but it doesn't get IP (activity on packets) [14:50] Hi! where can I get a minimal ubuntu 7.10 instalation. It will be dificult to download a full 600mb cd. is there any basic install? I won't need graphica/xorg in the computer [14:50] !minimal > pzn (pzn, see the private message from Ubotu) [14:50] wow fast [14:50] <^NighT^WalkeR^> can anyone tell me what nautilus is?

[14:51] LjL: thanks! [14:51] is there anyone that could help me with a partman problem at the installation? [14:51] I thought it nemos sub? [14:52] Tromort: on ubuntu? [14:52] i installed real player , it has sound but no video , who can help me? [14:52] yes, partman crashes [14:52] jeffMASTERflex: so what are my options for getting the good driver without envy? building it myself? [14:52] I'm having trouble logging in to samba shares on an Ubuntu machine from windows XP. It won't accept the password, even though it's correct [14:52] ganeshhegde, yup [14:52] lvoicu_: type: chclient to get new dhcp-address ? [14:52] is this thing on..? [14:52] NixPanther:they are not same.. [14:52] where is the root password stored in Ubuntu? [14:53] mirdin76: basically buidling it yourself. you need to install the kernel headers, then you can compile the binary driver straight from nvidia [14:53] no root alison sudo [14:53] Tromort: that can be an indication that your partition table isn't in good shape. Be cautious. what does sudo fdisk -l say ? [14:53] alison: your password is the root password, ubuntu disables the root account [14:53] ganeshhegde, Ok try setting your default gateway to the ubuntu machines ip address on the windows machine? [14:53] jeffMASTERflex: sounds hard but I guess I'll learn something : ) isn't that what envy does for me? [14:53] CyberGabber, when I type dhclient eth0 I get: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6 [14:53] No DHCPOFFERS received. [14:53] lvoicu_: sorry dhclient [14:53] does anyone here know about smb.conf files? [14:54] !samba | stib [14:54] stib: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [14:54] why does ubuntu disabble the root account? [14:54] i havnt tried sundo fdisk -1, [14:54] mirdin76: yes, but envy is a bastard [14:54] alison: because the devs decided that iz's wise :-) [14:54] alison: you can have root powers by using sudo [14:54] stefg: err.. apart from the bot [14:54] NixPanther:k.. i ll try [14:54] yes i know about sudo :) [14:54] stib: the docu the bot mentions :-) [14:54] alison: because sudo tends to be a safer way to do root tasks, especially on desktop systems [14:54] lvoicu_: Do you run a dhcp-server in your network (e.g. dhcp on yor router ) ? is the dhcp up&running? [14:55] stefg: read it, still don't know what's going wrong [14:55] can sudo do every task root can do? [14:55] HI People there is a strange problem with Gutsy all of a sudden sound seems not to be working... All the players Amarok/VLC/TOTEM hang on playing.... VLC plays after some time [14:55] CyberGabber, it\s a TV internet cable from ISP :-) [14:55] alison: of course, why wouldn't it? [14:55] CyberGabber, and they gave me a modem motorola [14:55] LjL: i don't know, just wondering :) I'm no guru yet .. still learning [14:56] alison, the commands you give to sudo *are* run as root. [14:56] bazhang, i have run update and upgrade, yet the update manager still shows updates available, why is that? [14:56] stib: 'doesn't work' and 'anyone' questions usually don't yield results. so decribe what you try to do, what you did to achieve it, and how that is not what you expected [14:56] I get the following output when I run a make command in a specific directory http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52606/ . Can anyone tell me how to fix this? [14:56] i cant wait until ubuntu 8! i cant wait! [14:57] i need it now!!!!!! [14:57] lvoicu_: So you don't use an hardware-router of hardware-firewall ?, you just plugged yor network-cable from computer to Moterola ? [14:57] !hardy > smallfoot- (smallfoot-, see the private message from Ubotu) [14:57] stefg: I've been patiently doing that for about half an hour [14:57] CyberGabber, exactly!!! [14:57] once again, for the peoples: I'm having trouble logging in to samba shares on an Ubuntu machine from windows XP. It won't accept the password, even though it's correct [14:57] CyberGabber, the same I do with this windows laptop [14:57] stib: so this is a hint to improve your asking skills :-) [14:57] i have gutsy gibbon, and its X.org sucks, it cant put my monitor to 100 hz, only 60, so i dont use ubuntu (: [14:58] CyberGabber, dmesg says: [ 4997.246767] eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x41E1 [14:58] [ 5007.972279] eth0: no IPv6 routers present [14:58] smallfoot-: so what are you doing here? just rant? [14:58] NMajik: do you have the kernel headers installed? [14:58] CyberGabber, could be a ipv6 problem? [14:58] hey sid any luck [14:58] smallfoot-: wrong channel then [14:58] !fixres > smallfoot- [14:58] erUSUL, yes [14:58] smallfoot-: hwinfo and editing xorg.conf fix that [14:58] lvoicu_: Not very safe, but it should be working. First you have to be sure that the motorala is getting an IP-adress from your ISP ( Check the doc's and Led's at the motoralo ). [14:58] stefg: umm.. I'm having trouble logging in to samba shares on an Ubuntu machine from windows XP. It won't accept the password, even though it's correct [14:58] noroot: no [14:59] hi [14:59] jetscreamer: one should normally not have to edit xorg.conf manually [14:59] CyberGabber, the leds are on, all of them! [14:59] during the installation of 7.10 i get an error: partman crashed, what can i do? === betatest20 is now known as beta_away [14:59] it should "just work" out of the box, without need user to download stuff, reading manual, enter commands in console, hack stuff, edit files [14:59] stib, remember the username is case sensitive... [14:59] I have this problem with apt; http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52608/ [14:59] stib: so your XP account is passwordless, and you are prompted for a password. you give it, but don't get access ? [14:59] LjL: the installer should 'just work' too, with nvidia, but... [14:59] I assume I have to remove some config somewhere, but where?

[14:59] * sudo apt-get install mjpegtools [15:00] smallfoot-, the developers strive to achieve that, but they do not always succeed. we can try to help you if you have specific questions... otherwise, ranting won't help much. [15:00] LjL: where is the sudo password stored or the password for the active account? [15:00] lol [15:00] We are trying to get the Gstreamer plugins to work === beta_away is now known as beta_wartend [15:00] stefg: nope, I've got a different user name on the XP machine, with a password. When I try to connect to the Ubuntu share I get the password dialogue [15:00] alison, the sudo password is the password for the active account [15:00] * IndyGunFreak <3's floodbot [15:00] yes [15:00] so where is it stored? [15:00] LjL: I think so, uname -r tells me 2.6.22-14-generic [15:00] I put in my user/pass for the ubuntu machine and it won't accept it. [15:00] /home/usr ? === beta_wartend is now known as betatest20 [15:01] NMajik: that doesn't mean that you have the headers installed [15:01] !headers > NMajik (NMajik, see the private message from Ubotu) [15:01] Hi. We are trying a load test a new web application that we made, we are trying to get to 500 users listening to our webcast at the same time. If you want to join in our test, please register (free) at www.glowwa.biz, test will start soon. We need to see if this works under Ubuntu/Linux distros. [15:01] a question about the update manager, why does it differ from what is installed in the apt-get upgrade command? [15:01] stefg: so I put in my user/pass for the ubuntu machine and it won't accept it. [15:01] Alison, I'm sure that the password is MD5 encrypted and you could not read it even if you found it. [15:01] malaiwah, that's spam. please go to #ubuntu-offtopic [15:01] stib: you have to add the same user as in windows (name & password) to the ubuntu-machine. you simply need an account on the server [15:02] But if i did forget my password: you can always try and crack md5 with a rainbow table right? [15:02] LjL: Yep, I guess I do "linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic is already the newest version." [15:02] stefg: So I need to set up a new account on the Ubuntu box? [15:02] alison: you can boot to recovery and reset your password from the command line [15:02] oh okay [15:02] good idea [15:02] thanks stefg [15:02] stib: yes, makes things much easier [15:02] what does it mean if I'm trying to build and install ndiswrapper, and it gives me warnings and later errors with "funny" characters? [15:02] something about encodings is wrong [15:03] (I presume) [15:03] noroot: even the Sound config is hanging [15:03] on testing the sound [15:03] stefg: but the stuff I want to acccess belongs to my other username (the ubuntu box is a shared computer that all the family uses, there's only one account) [15:03] I see things like: loadndisdriver.c:511: error: āLOG_CONSā undeclared (first use in this function [15:04] ubuntu gods: i need to find out what drivers control my sound config so i can reload them to install it [15:04] stefg: is there no way of "mapping" my windows user name to the account on the ubuntu box? or.. something like that? [15:05] nvidia's locking up my gutsy :( [15:05] stib: you need to setup samba authentication for all the users then..... that's exactly the kind of homework question which can be solved by simply reading the docs [15:05] there is some problem in all multimedia apps in my system [15:06] ganeshhegde:din work...if i open windows network its empty [15:06] NMajik: then you may possibly need the kernel source, i don't know.

[15:14] ljl: want to make it just for the fun of it! and to learn how to maintian and secure a server! [15:14] alison, "sudo apt-get update" does neither thing, it just updates the *list* of available packages. it's "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" that downloads and installs.

I believe you will still have to reinstall grub afterward though [15:16] hi! I have 2 ubuntu machines: a normal pc and a laptop. the laptop speakers suck. is there a way to stream the audio to the other machine via wlan so the laptops sound would come through the other pcs speakers? [15:16] Hello there :-) [15:16] Kibbles: how doesn't it help? it says, The drawbacks are that Ubuntu, with APT (the package manager for Ubuntu), currently does not support BiArch, which means you likely won't be able to install and run 32bit packages on your AMD64 install. This is a problem for users who wish to use Flash, w32 codecs, and WINE (for example), as they are only available for 32-bit. There are possible methods of getting it running, but they involve creating a chroot (see [15:16] DebootstrapChroot), for example. [15:16] qualcuno che parla italia c'è? [15:16] !it | sebastiano [15:16] sebastiano: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [15:16] oh cool thanks [15:16] clearzen, okay, thanks for the info [15:16] sebastiano: since when is "italia" a language? [15:16] how do I change GDM's theme? [15:17] How do I enable my Wfi Card? [15:17] why my real player cant watch movie not smooth ? [15:17] good afternoon [15:17] Without an internet connection? [15:17] Question, does anyone know how to move the startupscreen? [15:17] ganeshhegde, and the default gateway is set in there to your ubuntu machines IP? [15:17] I have a CD RW but I cannot find how to wipe an RW disc or make it able to add more data after an initial burn. any clues? do I need a different program to CD/DVD creator? [15:17] I am a Linux newbie [15:17] ikonia i have solved the problem :) i reinstalled the ubuntu and now it's ok.. :) [15:18] ukubuntu open you're burning program... [15:18] !changethemes > sajes [15:18] ljl - that still doesn't make any sense. i see no performance improvements [15:18] ukubuntu: have a look at k3b, gnomebaker or brasero [15:18] and it limits the apps you can run [15:18] LjL: I think he had to seperate questions in mind. i.e. does anybody speak italian and is anybody here from italy and it became does anybody speak italy . hehe [15:18] so what's the point? [15:18] ukubuntu then insert the cd, and go to the file menu. should be an option to erase [15:18] ganeshhegde, That shouldn't matter too much anyway but its worth a try. I am running out of Idea's for you now :( Sorry [15:18] two* [15:18] NixPanther:i hav put the same gateway as in ubuntu to windows [15:18] Kibbles, i was answering to your "how to run 32 bit apps" questions, i was never talking about anything else... [15:18] Has anyone heard on network settings working on live cd but not after install? [15:18] oh ok [15:19] sorry then [15:19] should testdisk be perceived as a cracker tool? I do not really remmber installing it. [15:19] so it's debootstrap [15:19] cramop, not really... [15:19] why my real player cant watch movie not smooth ? [15:19] thanx [15:19] ganeshhegde, the network name is the same on both pc's? [15:19] cramop: no, it's not [15:19] My wireless is hopeless help! [15:20] adal: what card is it? [15:20] NixPanther:which name?where? [15:20] alison ada1 not adal, so i can see. belkin f5d7050 v3 [15:20] betatest20: no i dint apply the xorg patch [15:20] LjL, clearzen thank you [15:20] Thanks ada1 but there is no option to erase. I think the computer is considering the disc a CD R as I am unable to delete individual files either [15:20] Kibbles: and, the performance improvements are there for some number-crunching applications. also, it's not just a matter of performance: 32-bit long numbers can only be about 4 billion at most, and that puts some pretty nasty limits on things (although many have been gotten around). a weird example? clocks will stop working correctly in 2038. now, *right now*, using the 64-bit version has more drawbacks than advantages for most users... but in the future, it' [15:20] s likely that *all* computers will be 64-bit, and perhaps the CPU will even stop having 32-bit support at some stage. [15:20] adal: try a Linksys WMP54G :) i think its the easiest one to use with ubuntu [15:20] CyberGabber, i've done it, now I reboot [15:21] alison i can only use it on the live cd. have you heard of that before? [15:21] alison: does it support wpa pretty easily? [15:21] alison nah, this works great usually, just need to figure this out on Ubuntu [15:21] cramop: no testdisk can only be used locally to repiar broken partition tables. no too many uses as a cracking tool (at least not for attack, only for looking around after a succesful breach) [15:21] whoa WPA is not easily support from what I Know, you have to do a lot of configuring... [15:21] WEP is a lot easier imho [15:22] sid: ok, thats the only hep I can offer atm, sorry [15:22] wep is too unsecure [15:22] r3r3: exactly [15:22] alison when i boot from live Cd all the networkas are already listed.....but when i do hd boot nothing is there, and the device is not installed [15:22] the name of the network. Its most likely MSHOME on your windows pc unless you changed it in the setup wiz. So try going into system>admin>network on your ubuntu machine and putting into the General tab "MSHOME" Under the domain name box [15:22] r3r3 why you say that? [15:22] alison any ideas? [15:22] ciao !hello!hallo!hola! [15:22] cause it s very easely hackable [15:22] adal: im not sure :( [15:22] alison besides buy mmore stuff [15:22] alison: uh, because it is. [15:22] hi all! how do i get ubuntu to recognize my mouse buttons 4 and 5 of my mx518? [15:23] hi all -- is it possible to configure Apache to protect certain directories and allow Ubuntu-system users to access? Im now always using htpasswd files... annoying... [15:23] anyone have any experience installing latest nvidia drivers via their instructions manual on ubuntu? [15:23] so you think i should upgrade to WPA!? [15:23] lvoicu_: Cross your fingers ;-) [15:23] Does anyone know about wireless from the Live CD? [15:23] betatest20: I have Alsa based sound drivers. ALSA base may be ok cause i can play thru VLC sometimes [15:23] mirdin76: i installed 169.07 twice today [15:23] alison: indeed [15:23] !wpa [15:23] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [15:23] iijmklònl,bjkkjfugd [15:23] robdeman: eventually by using the mysql auth module [15:23] ljl - thank you for that enlightenment. i'm off to swap back to 32, and maybe upgrade in 2038 [15:23] i've done the wireless guide [15:23] i need help [15:24] roby46: english please [15:24] ushimitsudoki: oh cool, that's what I'm up to. is it ok to just follow the instructions on the nvidia site - they don't mention ubuntu [15:24] alison, if your stuff handle wpa, then yes [15:24] IndyGunFreak: what if your in Alaska and theres only 5 people around and you are the only one with Wireless [15:24] fx|RabBit: MySQL? [15:24] i dont think having WEP would be that bad would it? [15:24] lol [15:24] robdeman: yes [15:24] betatest20: But i need to know the codec pack that i should reinstall to give it another shot [15:24] there is an auth_mysql module for apache [15:24] how do i copy my wireless settings from the livecd and move them into my HD? [15:24] alison: your choice--may as well leave it open then === Wanderer_ is now known as Nomothetes [15:25] mirdin76: yes - make sure you have the headers and so forth, but the install should be simple ... there will be one step where it asks you to check the NVIDIA site for pre-compiled headers -- don't bother, they aren't there :) [15:25] ;( [15:25] alright [15:25] Hey everyone... I was wondering if someone could please help me get eggdrop to find TCL on Ubuntu 7.10? I know that Eggdrop is in the repositories but I can't get that to realize where source scripts/whatever.tcl goes so I was going to try compiling it... but it can't find TCL on Ubuntu (and TCL is installed from the repositories) :? [15:25] ill try and upgrade it [15:25] how do i get ubuntu to recognize my mouse buttons 4 and 5 of my mx518? [15:25] ada1: /etc/network/interfaces is one [15:25] NixPanther:where to see? [15:25] Anyone here using evolution and the exchange connector succesfully with gutsy? [15:25] mirdin76: also, there is a known bug ... check the forums ... you'll need nvclock as well..else the GPU fan will spin at 100% === Nomothetes is now known as Wanderer [15:25] brobostigon get enter that in terminal? [15:26] fx|RabBit: I dont understand why I need MySQL for this? I want apache to use Ubuntu system accounts? [15:26] ada1: interfaces is a file, just copy it. === amblin_ is now known as amblin [15:26] fx|RabBit, there is a little program called xinput that might help you to figure how to get the buttons of your mouse working, it helped me with my trackball [15:26] LjL: No luck after unpacking the tarball. I looked over the error again and this seems like it might be the most important part "/tmp/sam7utils-0.1.0/driver/at91.c:14:26: error: linux/config.h: No such file or directory" Where can I get config.h? [15:26] r3r3: i would have to re-configure my linksys router if i am to handle WPA instead of WEP [15:26] brobostigan and then what [15:26] correct? [15:26] NMajik: probably by "make menuconfig" in the kernel tree. IIRC. [15:27] ada1: add it back into the same folder on your other machine [15:27] brobostigon and then what? [15:27] robdeman: you want to put up a access control list for the various files on your apache structure as far as i am informed that can be accomished by useing a mysql database for athenticcation instead of the .htaccess file [15:27] !find tcl [15:27] Found: expect-tcl8.3, expect-tcl8.3-dev, libdb4.2-tcl, libdb4.3-tcl, python-dictclient (and 76 others) [15:27] yes it s in the router alison that you have to set it up in wpa [15:27] brobostigon and that should switch the settings? [15:27] yeah [15:27] okay [15:27] laz0r: thank you so very much buddy:] === GWild_Gen2 is now known as GWild [15:27] is it smart to config the router for both WEP and WPA [15:27] or only 1? [15:28] Suspect: you installed the tcl package? [15:28] ada1: that would trasnfer the whole of networkings settings, wireless and wired. [15:28] you can't do both at the same tiime can you? [15:28] IdleOne: yeah [15:28] not not goot only wpa alison [15:28] fx:RabBit: But those user accounts are then store dinto MySQL instead of .htaccess right? -- its still not authenticating using the Linux/Ubuntu system accounts? [15:28] ada1: connection settings i mean [15:28] IdleOne: Is there any way to check? [15:28] Suspect: and what is the error exactly? [15:28] ganeshhegde, ? [15:28] r3r3: thanks [15:28] IdleOne: One second [15:28] brobostigan how do i find this file? [15:28] myself i use wpa-psk [15:28] NixPanther:where should i see? [15:28] not sure if it s any better than wpa though [15:29] IdleOne: http://rafb.net/p/pjmWCv15.html [15:29] ada1: folder /etc/network inside that folder file= interfaces [15:29] NixPanther:* network name [15:30] ushimitsudoki: ok the headers, it doesn't mention them on the nvidia site - do I need to put them somewhere when I run the .run pkg from nvidia? [15:30] LjL: What exactly does that do? It looks like I could cause some issues for myself [15:30] ganeshhegde, its under the general tab under Domain name. Putt MSHOME in that box. [15:30] Suspect: you installed tcl8.4-dev ? [15:31] I don't think I installed -dev [15:31] And I think it's tcl8.5 [15:31] NMajik, it lets you configure the Linux kernel in order to compile it. however, i don't think you really need to compile it... just to go through the configuration to create that config.h file. but as i said, i don't really know, i've last messed with kernel and modules... years ago === Rufus is now known as Rufus_ [15:31] Suspect: go ahead and install the -dev package also [15:31] robdeman: true... need scripts to do the job;) [15:31] mirdin76: it's the linux-headers package, just install from synaptic or the command line before running the nvidia install script (you may need build-essentials and other such packages, I don't remember every dependency) [15:32] can you broadcast/listen to someone talking on xchat/irc? [15:32] ushimitsudoki: cool thanks for the advice [15:32] fx:RabBit: mmm [15:32] i noticed there is a status called voice, how come i am not noticing any sound on my xchat? [15:32] ciao [15:32] IdleOne: ok, installed [15:32] ciao [15:32] people who knows a program to split avi files? I have tried HJSplit but it doesn't work on Ubuntu [15:32] mirdin76: good luck! [15:32] IdleOne: ./configure works now! [15:33] Suspect: there is a eggdrop package in the repos? [15:33] Suspect: there is a eggdrop package in the repos [15:33] IdleOne: yeah, I know, but it wasn't working right [15:33] Suspect: you dont have to compile unless you absolutely want to [15:33] hi all [15:33] Suspect: ok [15:33] r3r3: my wireles never connects to my network when it boots up. Is that because of pam-keyring? [15:33] or password nagging [15:34] IdleOne: I switched my server from Windows to Ubuntu and I'm just trying to get stuff working, and the eggdrop from the repositories wouldn't work right :s but thanks a lot for the help! [15:34] I was wondering if anybody knew what permissions samba users read and write with?? [15:34] One problem down, only a few other things I need to work out [15:34] hmm, is the via vt6421A chipset supported by ubuntu? [15:34] !list [15:34] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot.

Now try rebooting both pc's [15:40] be able to rename and delete files in that samba shared folders [15:40] Does anyone know of a good tutorial on linux directory standards(? Methodology?). Like if I wanted to find the computers tmp file cache generally in linux you can find it x/x/x/blah or if I want to find a system log check here x/x/x/blah or if I want to find the source files of a package I just installed so i can tweak the source code check here /x/x/blah etc..... [15:40] NixPanther:k..1 more prob..how to access internet through USB? i connected modem through USB but cant access net.. [15:40] alanbshepard70, You want to read up on the LSB (I forget what it stands for) [15:40] yannick_lm, I used CHMOD to change the permissions of the directory.. [15:41] alanbshepard70: google linux directory standards probably come up with a few good links [15:41] yannick_lm, but that doesn't seem to allow them to do anything [15:41] What does return(SUSPEND) do? [15:42] erudified: idleOne: thanks. I wasn't sure if it could be called a standard or what. I'm checking google now. [15:42] I belive you have to do it in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file [15:42] it 's quite commented, so you should be able to do it [15:42] but you'll have to know what a umask is [15:42] alanbshepard70, it's a pretty lose standard and *bsd/osx/solaris don't follow it at all [15:42] alanbshepard70: but that does not mean that all distros will use the same path's ubuntu and redhat for example might not and probably dont use the same standards but there is a general concencus on the structure [15:43] CyberGabber, I could not remove the ipv6 support ...still the same shit...:-( [15:43] LjL: After fiddling for a while, still no luck. Thanks for your help [15:43] !ohmy | lvoicu [15:43] lvoicu: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [15:43] ganeshhegde, you need to install the modem. It would be a lot easier if you installed the modem on the windows machine and used the ubuntu as the lan machine as you should be able to share the internet on the network [15:43] IdleOne, ok, sorry [15:44] good morning humans [15:44] I just burned 7.10 and went to install...I selected Install from the menu and it loaded into a graphical login screen...what did I do wrong?

[15:46] radioaktivstorm: and why do you want to remove it [15:46] hello [15:46] hey [15:46] ganeshhegde, You will have to hunt for them, as most modems only have windows drivers.

[15:53] Scottc: can you access the hdd from ubuntu [15:53] bazhang: its not asking me to pick a username...its prompting me to LOG IN [15:53] mrichman: the installer, or the Live CD itself? i.e. when you say "GUI login", you mean a plain login screen to let you access GNOME? [15:53] alison: did you try the command i gave? [15:53] LjL: yeah the yellowish X window login [15:53] mrichman: that's not normal, no. [15:53] mrichman: ubuntu? what version? [15:54] I can't boot from ubuntu any more [15:54] this is 7.10...i just downloaded and burned it [15:54] scottc: being an old hdd, it may already be dieing, and that may be the problem.

[16:08] alison: are you trying to pm me? [16:08] brobostigon: and the version for Feisty is 6? [16:08] puplin: you got this covered? [16:08] martianlobster: no idea. [16:08] yes [16:08] i am [16:08] i've looked everywhere bazhang. but the prob is this is my only internet connection i don't have access to the router so i can't plug in. so if i had a prolem with any of the guides i have to reboot 100 times to ask questions to you guys. it takes too too too long and is certainly not feasible or practical.

"Ubuntu screwed up your computer, go ask people who dont know about ubuntu" [16:11] I want to install Ubuntu on some computer but the computer isn't going to be used where it is and only through SSH so running Gnome and such is a waste of its resources (it's and old computer). Is Ubuntu simply Gnome and special GUI packages on top of Debian so that I might as well install Debian or is it more than that? If I want the simplicity of Ubuntu (including the simplicity of its installation) on a computer that will only be accessed by SSH wh [16:11] at should I do without wasting its scarce resources? [16:11] bazhang: i know ^^ [16:11] The least you could do is help me out considering Ubuntu screwed my partition up. [16:11] hi there. I'm running Ubuntu 6.06 and trying to apt-get upgrade.

I can stop it manually with /etc/init.d/mysql stop. But again same with dpkg and apt-get upgrade. What can I do? It's MySQL 5.0.22.

If I remove programs now via add/remove programs, then click install, will the programs I removed be installed on the HD? [16:43] hellop1-> nope, only on the ramfs [16:43] hellop1: no, they will disappear when you shut down the live cd [16:44] okay, my ubuntu project for today is: getting xine to work... right now its got no sound [16:44] Heya. Is anyone getting a "dpkg: error: PATH is not set" when updating via apt-get or aptitude? [16:44] oui je sais mais je n aie toujour pas de reponse [16:44] nickrud, ok i try there uff, 4th channel same question ;) [16:44] but thanks ! [16:44] tostado: heh. [16:44] bkar, nickrud, notice I said remove, not install using add/remove [16:44] i think the problem relates to the fact that im not using my onboard sound, but a PCI soundcard [16:45] hellop1-> notice i said ramfs, not hard disk [16:45] anybody knowledgeable about this? [16:45] how do I use ifconfig to list or scan wireless networks? [16:45] ue synaptic to install and or remove software [16:45] hellop1: ah, you want to work in the hard disk install from the live cd? [16:45] Let me rephrase, when installing Ubuntu, to make a slimmer system, should I remove programs during the live boot, or after the HD install? [16:45] although i guess it could be a codec issue [16:45] hellop1: after the install [16:45] Hellop1: After. [16:45] hello [16:46] reinis-> use iwconfig [16:46] Ok, so it installs everything from the CD, it doesn't take your Live setup and put that on the HD.. correct? [16:46] reinis-> use iwconfig wlan0 scan [16:46] I was wondering if it would be possible to backport ubuntu to were it was using just the debian sid sources with ubuntu-like configurations [16:46] bkar: thanks [16:46] hellop1: correct. [16:46] Thanks for the info. [16:47] hellop1: Yes. I'm doing the same thing now, installing Xubuntu and stripping it down. [16:47] bkar: iwconfig: unknown command "scan" [16:47] * STrRedWolf is just running into a "dpkg PATH is not set" issue. [16:47] walkies: not very easily done, there will be many broken configs and packages. [16:47] reinis: iwlist [16:47] lots of folks here :D [16:47] STrRedWolf great minds install ubuntu at the same time [16:47] reinis-> you are right, i meant iwlist.. i need more coffe to wake up [16:48] hellop1: you might find the mini install cd interesting, it's a 10mb install that you can customize to your hearts content [16:48] hmm, it gives no scan results [16:48] well, I'd like to switch to debian, and I've gotten a system installed, but ubuntu has better hardware detection and detects my wireless [16:48] reinis-> do this first, iwconfig wlan and see if you see a line wireless [16:48] walkies: I avoid Debian like the plague due to their politics. [16:48] where do I find out how it is that ubuntu loads wireless up [16:49] nickrud, well ideally for me would be mandrakeish, all packages on disk, then I select the ones I want, instead of waiting to d/l them. [16:49] I think d/ling hurts the economy [16:49] bkar, no such line there [16:49] hellop1: that doesn't compute, hurting the economy [16:49] STrRedWolf: why ubuntu then, if you avoid debian you should ubuntu to, ubuntu is based on debian?? [16:49] * nickrud backspaces, brobostigon said it for me [16:50] hellop1, download the dvd image [16:50] reinis-> iwconfig wlan0 nothing show as wireless? [16:50] it's eth1, and no [16:50] STredwolf, what about the politics of ubuntu? [16:50] reinis-> then you dont have a wireless nic or it has not be activated yet [16:50] hey guys I used a script to intall a web stack on my ubuntu server, but I cant find the installation path of apache2 (/etc/apache2 not working) [16:50] any ideas [16:50] walkies: Oh so much better. [16:50] bkar, I do have it, but it's problematic :/ [16:51] XLV I should tks [16:51] dirtyhand-> look at your script how it installed the apache2, use an editor to look at the script [16:51] hello does this work? [16:51] dirtyhand: what script? probaby in /opt somewhere [16:51] is the chan to talk about hardy is #ubuntu-testing ? [16:51] magnetik: #ubuntu+1 [16:51] nickrud: deprec [16:51] STrRedWolf: but debian and ubuntu and practicly the same. [16:51] reinis-> oh well, its common enuff...which wireless nic you have? brand?

There's different people managing it. The package manager is the same, but different people handling the hsoftware. === SR71-Blackbird is now known as BlackBird [16:52] dirtyhand: what does deprec mean, I'm not real cluefull on irc shorthand [16:52] Breakage: mplayer === BlackBird is now known as BlackBird71 [16:52] xmms [16:53] bkar: the wlan adapter doesn't work, probably because of not supporting pci 2.1 [16:53] DRebellion~ +1 on that just sound quality is good! [16:53] ifup doesn't recognize it, and it looks like a bug in ubuntu itself [16:53] reinis-> oh, bcm43xx.. known to change the color of your hair and gives you receeding hairlines === hellop1 is now known as hellop [16:53] STrRedWolf: many of the core people who do ubuntu are also deeply involved in debian ...

[16:53] bkar, I'm using the ndiswrapper driver now, not bcm43xx [16:53] Breakage: mp3 sound quality is rubbish anyway === INeedSpeed is now known as RenaTu [16:53] breakage, they are similer [16:53] maco: it's ok [16:54] maco~ will try that too, yep but I have so many mixes all compressed to mp3 :( [16:54] reinis-> yes, its a known problem child, you just have tokeep on reading ..someone may already have the solution [16:54] brobostigon~ same sound quality? [16:54] bkar: probably not, pci 2.1 is quite esotheric/obsolete [16:54] STrRedWolf: Ubuntu and Debian have largely the same developers. Especially the core ones like Sebastian Bacher, Colin Watson, Ben Mako Hill, etc [16:55] Breakage: i ue audacious, and am very happy, with all aspects. [16:55] rajasun: name dropper ;p [16:55] .

[17:09] nickrud: hmmm. i have had very very bad experiences with wireless and i'll probably leave it as its working properly now :P [17:09] DRebellion: or stop it from loading at boot by disabling networnmanager in sessions. [17:09] 50MB? [17:09] whats the GnuPG package name?

( it still works though right ) ??? [17:24] hi [17:24] oh my god, please, tell me how to finish your instructions [17:24] wasdad: you've already been told what the issue is. if you don't read, I don't want to help you. pleae leave me alone [17:25] wasdad: what's the problem you have right now? [17:25] EdwardXP: they're separate package management systems [17:25] hi, i have 2 sound cards, after installimg ubuntu the 2'nd card worked, aftter installing the updates the firs card works, how can i set the card that is running? [17:25] during install time apparently setting up an encrypted swap failed. is there a tool in ubuntu to deal with this kind of thing? some kind of disk utlity [17:25] EdwardXP: Generally speaking, an rpm will not work on a deb-based distribution, and the opposite is true of debs on rpm-based distributions. [17:25] spike: to do what rexactly? setting up swap is easy. make it encrypted less so [17:25] Should I put swap somewhere special like at the end of the disk maybe? [17:25] EdwardXP: a deb is sorta like a zip with smart install scripts. rpm is the same, but they are not compatible [17:26] 'Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016)' [17:26] in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter [17:26] Onyx, > so i can be on red hat linux and ubuntu install .deb or .rpm wouldn't matter ( that codec video works for me though :D - im sure it will work for everyone else.. when its a .ogg its' 158mb) [17:26] i ned desc lol ? [17:26] erawfish: how do I enable DRM/DRI ? [17:26] erawfish: with the alternate CD you can setup encrypted partition using dmcrypt. I'd like the same tool to be available in ubuntu [17:26] wasdad: can you send me a private msg ? [17:26] EdwardXP: No.... debs work on ubuntu, rpms work on redhat/fedora. [17:26] erawfish: so it updates initramfs and all, rather than doing it manually myself [17:26] tacone: w8 to register it :) [17:26] red hat is based on the rpm package management system, whereas ubuntu on the debain system, it is not good to mix them [17:26] nickrud, unless you have that package magagement system for red hat, its possible to install .deb package manager? [17:26] EdwardXP: What I was trying to tell you is that regardless of the extension you used, that file is an ogg file [17:26] anyone knows about a 3in1 file for iceweazel ? [17:27] done tacone. [17:27] EdwardXP, it matters, ubuntu is a dot deb and the internals of rpms can break badly if you try to install them here and that last question was offtopic [17:27] spike: dpkg-reconfigure your kernel-image recreates the initrd, dunno about the rest [17:27] Onyx, ohh okay, but its less megabytes.. [17:27] EdwardXP: no, they have different assumptions about where stuff on the system is. You can convert from one to the other with alien , but it often fails because of those assumptions [17:27] * CSRemmy faceplants on a spike [17:27] EdwardXP: information on installing .debs on a rpm based system is off-topic here [17:28] can I please get one answer?

[17:29] EdwardXP: No, source installs will not corrupt the system -- you just need to know what's on your system, and where.

[17:30] and it's telling me that opengl isn't loading [17:30] CSRemmy, then U don't need DRI for just server, unless U want to play the game also on another core [17:30] anyone know if it's normal to have to rebuild the nvidia kernel/drivers after upgrading xorg? [17:30] well [17:30] I need q3a to start [17:30] Onyx: if you used the ones from their sites, yes [17:31] nickrud: Cool, thanks :) -- just caught me off guard for a sec. [17:31] CSRemmy, you don't need a fancy Vid Card/DRI to run a game server [17:31] nickrud: I'm using the ones from the nvidia site because I've got a custom kernel, so I figured that had something to do with it [17:31] I understand that [17:31] can anyone help me? i have a question [17:31] anyone knows about a 3in1 file for iceweazel ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [17:32] Onyx: I've got to do that myself for the new kernel upgrade, but I decided to wait a couple weeks with the xorg fiasco [17:32] but I'm saying that q3 dedicated server starts from in-game [17:32] CSRemmy, there must be CLI way to start it..

[17:45] DRebellion: #ubuntu-motu or #ubuntu-bugs are good places to start (and the wiki pages for those teams) [17:46] robdig: I believe they are drivers needed for the MAKE controller [17:46] jrib: k, i'll take a look [17:47] NMajik: if you're compiling a driver, then you need the linux headers, just a sec for name [17:47] nickrud: i don't know what happened i installed the fooxqx driver as per the instructions listed here http://foo2xqx.rkkda.com/INSTALL which includes this sudo make install install-hotplug cups i'm not 100% but i don't think i have an option to install a local printer now [17:47] nownot_, well, if this is your website http://nownot.sytes.net -- i think it's jsut a matter of adding another vhost configuration file and apache should take care of the rest [17:48] un0p: how the hell did that work? [17:48] nickrud:thanks [17:48] nownot_: did you get helped? [17:48] NMajik: the package to install the headers is linux-headers-generic (or whatever your kernel version is.) [17:48] nemilar: yeah it seems to be working [17:48] nownot_, whats that? [17:48] NMajik: there are different ones depending on what you are running. if running generic, then linux-headers-generic [17:48] nownot_: cool [17:48] defendguin: hm, don't know that one. I buy generic hp printers, I'm chicken [17:49] nickrud: this is a generic hp laser printer [17:49] cellofellow robdig: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic? [17:49] nownot_, the only thing i am concerned about is nownot.sytes.net resolves to one IP but a different one is shown on the browser when i navigate to http://nownot.sytes.net [17:49] NMajik: yup [17:49] defendguin: then why not use the driver already in cups with hpijs? [17:49] cellofellow robdig: linux-headers-generic is already the newest version. [17:49] nownot_, maybe you configured that intentionally -- but it sure as hell is weird [17:49] Is there way to deselect packages prior to a Ubu install? I heard typing "custom" at the 1st menu, but that didn't work for me [17:49] NMajik: yeah, but if you only install the version you are using it won't upgrade with the kernel. [17:50] nickrud: my printer model is not in cups as having a recommended driver [17:50] cellofellow: I don't think I understand what that means and how to apply it to my issue [17:50] defendguin, what printer model do you have? [17:50] defendguin: ah. not generic then :) I pretty much refuse to compile stuff anymore I"m lazy [17:50] un0p: can i pm i get lost in here/ [17:51] hp LJ p1006 [17:51] !pm | nownot_ [17:51] nownot_: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [17:51] defendguin, choose something close, or choose Laserjet 4 the most generic one [17:51] nownot_: what irc client are you using? [17:51] with mount, what fs type shall i use for a cd? [17:51] un0p: it's so much easier to discuss something in a msg, everything gets lost in here [17:52] un0p: ok well what do you mean different ip when i go to either i get the same ip [17:52] haxax: iso9660 [17:52] !find linux/config.h | NMajik maybe this will help? [17:52] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52620/ cleaned up and tested my notes on getting Compiz-Effects on ATI Radeon Cards 9500 and lower [17:52] nmajik maybe this will help?: File linux/config.h found in ecos, libuclibc-dev, ruby1.8-dev, xen-doc-2.6.16, xen-headers-2.6.16 [17:52] nemilar: :) [17:52] :) [17:52] hellop: i think i am now missing the option to install a local printer on the box [17:52] Jack_Sparrow: man, did you move somplace where it's monday? [17:53] nickrud: Just wanted to try and finish that while it was fresh in my mind [17:53] i need help to install my acer 5315 sound's drivers [17:53] hey guys, i have a problem... i installed Ubuntu on my nephews laptop(older), it does have wifi, but we cannot get onto the internet, could someone help? [17:53] nownot_, well, if i query a dns server -- nownot.sytes.net resolves to 204.16.252.xx but when i navigate to nownot.sytes.net, i get redirected to 71.170.196.xxx:8080 [17:53] robdig: OK. What can I do with that information (I'm very new to compiling from source)? [17:54] Hello everyone! [17:54] defendguin, have you read everything on google yet? [17:54] ok i think i'm back to normal now at least for a little while [17:54] nickrud: We had so many of those ATI in here on Friday that I made it a priority to look into it [17:54] Pretty basic question: What is the difference between the system being halted or powered off on shutdown? [17:54] !wireless | ToddEDM [17:54] ToddEDM: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [17:54] un0p: well maybe its b/c im going through no-ip.com for dns? [17:54] ToddEDM, use a cable! [17:55] Jack_Sparrow: looking better, you should use actual package names, not Compiz-Config-Settings-Manager for example. That really jumps out on the first pass [17:55] hellop: that does work, just not wifi [17:55] MilhousePunkRock, halt doesn't shut the PC off [17:55] ToddEDM, have you tried searching google before asking here? [17:55] hellop: But? [17:55] ls [17:55] MilhousePunkRock, thats it [17:55] nickrud: Will fix that now.. [17:55] milhousepunkrock: i think they might be the same ... but i'm not 100% sure [17:55] no i thought i would come here first [17:55] nownot_, it shouldn't matter -- maybe the change in DNS still hasn't propogated over to my ISPs dns server ust yet .. never mind, if it's working for you, its good :) [17:55] ToddEDM: what wlan chip is it? [17:56] hey all ne one got evolution working with exchange 2007 with ubuntu 7.10 [17:56] NMajik: well, you original question was around #include . you have the current headers installed, and you have build-essential installed, so my thought was that you were compiling something else. the packages ubotu gave you have that particular file, do they match what you are trying to compile? if so, you need to install which ever one matches :) [17:56] hellop: i use sudo shutdown -h now, and it shutdown my machine. [17:56] milhousepunkrock: ah.... thanks hellop [17:56] Jack_Sparrow: I really like the references you gave for each option, I wish more people did that on the wiki [17:56] help - video driver melt down - how can I uninstall restricted drivers from command line?

Second on the hotkeys, it has the initiate hotkey set as return, and i am unable to change this [18:08] erawfish: that samba logins show up in last [18:08] super-6-1: lspci does NOT lie [18:08] erawfish: oh, you didn't ask that [18:08] my bad [18:08] nemilar: where did you say that?

[18:09] erawfish: yeah, in /var/log/samba [18:09] hey all ne one using exchange 2007 and evolution on 7.10 [18:09] how can i get a list of the samba users [18:09] ikaruga3001: i found a way to get XMB back [18:10] xomp: you already have all drivers on your disk without installing another thing. "radeon" is the open source drivers for radeons. fglrx from ati.com will NOT work on your chip [18:10] Ashfire908: check in /etc/samba/smbusers [18:10] Quick question.. Does the Alternate Ubuntu 7.10 installer cd (not the live one) support raid disks? [18:10] Ashfire908: smbpasswd possibly [18:10] Virtus: yes [18:10] nemilar, that file doesn't exist [18:10] robdig: What did you google? Is there a cache? [18:10] erawfish, thanks so much! I was nearly going to install the fglrx lol. So I'm cool with the drivers i have now, wonderful :) [18:10] PodMan99a: get the evoluton connector. your ownly chance [18:10] erawfish, so I can setup a raid0 with 3 disk, no problem? [18:10] erawfish, tis a load off my mind [18:10] Ashfire908: did you create any samba users? [18:10] Virtus, yes [18:11] Azzmodan & erawfish thanks! [18:11] nemilar, i think i did... [18:11] erawfish, yea but does not appear to be 2007 compatible? [18:11] Virtus: dunno about "no problem"... [18:11] erawfish: someone here earlier today said that - so they will update the driver in restricted [18:11] Ashfire908: use smbpasswd -a to create a samba user [18:11] hey folks... anybody know the min system requirements for ubuntu live cd? will it run on an 800mhz cpu? [18:11] PodMan99a: no clue [18:11] chewd: Most likely, if you have enough RAM [18:11] erawfish, well, I grabbed the live cd, but I could not setup software raid with that.. I am experinced with both linux and raid disks ;o) [18:11] takes a lot of ram huh? [18:11] nemilar, i know [18:12] NMajik: dunno about the cache...i googled sam7utils ubuntu [18:12] i think its 128mb... probably not enough huh? [18:12] chewd: how much ram do you have? at 128MB, try xubuntu [18:12] chewd: not enough for the livecd [18:12] k [18:12] chewd install in command line you ll have the minimum system [18:13] NMajik: cache doesn't seem to be coming up either [18:13] ive got an old all-in-one pc i use for a media player [18:13] its old junk tho [18:14] "Desktop effects could not be enabled" is the message I get when going to "System > Preferences > Appearance" and clicking on "Visual Effects" then "Extra". Any clue how I can do these actions via a terminal window to maybe watch its output to see where it's failing to cooperate? [18:14] i'm have trouble with not getting the ubuntu splash screen durning boot up all i get is a blank screen until i get to the login screen. [18:14] piracy discussion is ok? [18:14] next question.. i there any way to automate startup in ubuntu? IE: automatic login? [18:14] er is [18:14] I just install ubuntu and I am getting some odd performance. Every so often I'll click on something and I'll get a bunch of random lines on the screen. They go away when a window is moved over them. Also, occasionally when I open a window, it will appear with nothing in it until I run my mouse over it. [18:15] robdig: That sucks. Thanks for looking though [18:15] chewd, yes you can set it to auto logon a certain user after X seconds [18:15] chewd, check the login screen settings thing [18:15] sweet thanks [18:16] Howdy guys. [18:16] sup [18:16] How is everyone this afternoon? [18:17] great [18:17] is brobostigan or bkar still here? [18:17] chewd: yes there is but you don't want to run ubuntu,at most, run xubuntu. you want 256MB or better more to run gnome in ubuntu === Ttech2 is now known as Ttech [18:17] mrobvious, can you help me out? with my wireless issue? [18:17] i can't use wireless unless i'm on the livecd mrobvious [18:18] i'm going crazy [18:18] Can somebody help me with my wireless issue? [18:18] I can't run wireless unless i'm on the livecd [18:18] you made sure ur wireless settings are the same in ur install and livecd [18:19] scubar my usb eth adapter son't work on hd. only livecd for some reason [18:19] ada1: What I'd do is look for your chipset in lspci and then type it into the search feature at ubuntforums.org and see if any guides exist or good threads. That's seriously all I'd do. If you have specific questions after that let us know. [18:19] scubar, doesn't work, i mean [18:20] Scubar: Are you on another site I visit, EOCF? [18:20] yea [18:20] :P [18:20] i was thinkin same thing [18:20] You are on EOCF? Really? [18:20] yea [18:20] Cool beans. [18:20] im the annoying prick who irritates all the ATI fans [18:20] :) [18:21] i have lost my windows manager ? How do i get it back ? [18:21] mrobvious, the chipset for my motherboard oyu mean/ [18:21] ada1: No your wireless chip, like BCM4318 for example. [18:21] what wireless usb adaptor do u have ? [18:21] bauer_: Does Ctrl+Alt+Backspace work (that reloads X so you'll probably be dropped). [18:21] ? [18:21] will only take 2 secs to lookup what chip it uses in google [18:22] Scubar: I'm teaching him how to search for answers himself. :D [18:22] Scubar: it doesn't always work that way, though [18:22] Scubar: /join #eocf [18:22] does anyone here know anything aboutrunning civiliztion IV under cedega on a 64 bit sysem? [18:22] system* [18:22] if I'm running xrandr to create a larger screen (extended desktop) and the two screens are not hte same resolution, how do I tell xrandr that it's a non-rectangular area? MergedFb was very straightforward in this regad [18:23] magical_trevsky eats poo [18:23] Scubar: I've seen three different chipsets built into "Belkin F5D7050" devices [18:23] tzanger: yes this is frustrating. [18:23] MrObvious, That just made i impossible to enter any input [18:23] hi i tried to install firefox 3b02 but now i cannot open firefox 2 i get "Failed to execute child process "firefox" (No such file or directory)" error i tried remove and reinstall but it didnt worked for me what can i do?

Any clue how I can do these actions via a terminal window to maybe watch its output to see where it's failing to cooperate? [18:25] xomp: have a look at /var/log/xorg.0.log? [18:25] xomp: not sure if the zero is right [18:25] zenobius, thanks, I'll do that :) [18:25] MrObvious, I tried to install compiz. That was no success. I uninstalled it, and i have no manager running. I see the vindows i can communicate with them , but i cant move them around ? [18:25] xomp: but its how i found the resolutions that work on my raedon [18:26] i have found a way to make a vido loopback device and so make a 160x120 webcam... but it does not work in some apps like flash.. any ideas how can i make flash to recognise theese v4l devices as webcams? [18:26] bauer_: Rut roh. And Ctrl+Alt+Backspace won't restart X? [18:27] hi [18:27] zenobius, I found the file. There's a lot to it haha. Do you think perhaps I'm unable to do this is because of my resolution? [18:27] Man for 1311 people there sure isn't much activity today. :\ [18:27] Hey laypeople [18:27] MrObvious, that just made it impossible to communicate with the windows. [18:27] xomp: could be alot of reasons, i remember seeing in mine that it tired various resolutions and the reason why. [18:28] bauer_: Maybe reboot is the simplest option (although not a good Linux mentality one). [18:28] bauer__: are you running gnome? if so, in a terminal type metacity --replace then restart x [18:28] hello [18:28] bauer_: Actually try that first. :) [18:28] anything for me?

Is there a way you can look at it and let me know if there is anything you can discern from all it has? lol [18:30] billenium: System -> Preferences -> Sound [18:30] meoblast001: put the data together under Places-Create CD. When you're ready to burn, insert the CD-RW. Nautilus will offer to blank it for you. [18:30] billenium: It's under the Sounds tab. [18:30] xomp: a nice widget for the gnome panel is webboard, lets you paste text to a pastebin server of your choice [18:30] soundray: thanx ill try that [18:30] could someone tell me what to do... my other machine running ubuntu studio has froze during vmware server install... how do I resolve?

[18:32] MichaelSammels: no it does not [18:32] Is there an easy way to install the X Server if the machine running Ubuntu Server is not connected to the net? [18:32] soundray: ty... I'll try that now [18:32] soundray; Please replace the disc in the drive with a supported disc with at least 519.7 MiB free. The following disc types are supported: [18:32] CD-R, CD-RW [18:32] OshaMaHUe: make sure the failed install is not on your path any more [18:33] MichaelSammels: you can install one easily though, by installing the desktop packages: sydo apte-get install ubuntu-desktop [18:33] I'm trying out IcedTea Java and it seems to work fine on .jar files but the launcher for Java Web Start doesn't do anything. Tips? [18:33] MichaelSammels: [18:33] anyone happen to know what dictates being able to place an icon on the awn dock.........is there a specific chmod? [18:33] billenium: ahh yes sorry i pointed you to the login screen sounds [18:33] Hello: I'm new to linux and trying to understand the filesystem. Where is usually all the applications that is installed located? [18:33] MichaelSammels: but it has to be connected to the net [18:33] soundray : ok [18:33] jesper_: most of them are in /usr/bin [18:33] meoblast001: your CD isn't recognized as writable/erasable. You'll have to find another. [18:33] jesper_: try this in terminal "locate filename" [18:33] jeffMASTERflex: it has no net [18:33] mrobvious wht do i type in to see my usb adapter chiposet again? [18:33] MichaelSammels: you are out of luck if you want to install a gui without net access [18:34] ok, thanks [18:34] soundray: this is jacked up.... i could have sworn that was a CD-RW but now it says CD-R on the disk.... gotta find another if i have one [18:34] I'd like to _not_ have soundjuicer auto spawn when inserting an audio cd; where do I poke? [18:34] jesper_: http://linux.wordpress.com/2006/04/27/simple-and-easy-linux-file-system-diagram/ [18:34] Any ideas [18:34] can someone tell me how can I check in debian for packages with certain name in them, if I don't know the real name...let's say that I would like to search through all packages available online or on all DVD's and check for line "tftp" and get all results/programs which contain name "tftp"? [18:34] adante: lspci [18:34] MrObvious, robdig : It runnig :-) Thx guys [18:34] irenee [18:34] chef_: here's an explanation of what these keys do: http://www.developertutorials.com/tutorials/linux/magic-sysrq-050503/page1.html [18:34] ada2: I mean lsusb [18:34] bauer_: glad it worked for you [18:35] MichaelSammels: get comfortable with the cli. midnight commander and vim are your friends [18:35] I'm trying to apt-get install a multiple package bundle that's hosted in a local directory... I incremented the version number over what is found in the official repo's and then when I try to install it says "depends on packageName##-ubuntu7 but packagename##-ubuntu6 is to be installed" [18:35] I may have locked it up before to pull that version number, if so then how do I unset that? [18:35] soundray: Ok tried that but still froze & checking out site [18:35] soundray: were all out... imm gonna have to find a way to get Ubuntu live CD to boot off a flash disk onto my ps3 [18:36] meoblast001: try the install page for suggestions on how to get there (private message coming...) [18:36] !install > meoblast001 [18:36] xomp: lines 477 to 539 are interesting [18:36] does anyone know if shared folders works someway in ubuntu 7.10 with vmware6 ? [18:36] xomp: im reading more now [18:36] Marbug: You might try Samba or NFS depending on if the VM is Windows or Linux. [18:36] !samba [18:36] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [18:36] !nfs [18:36] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [18:36] mrobvious what do i type to see the chipset of my usb adapter [18:36] Marbug: the standard vmplayer works [18:36] keglevich, you can use packages.ubuntu.com for that, or use apt-file [18:37] zenobius, thanks mate, I'm pouring over it myself :) I see where your referring too as well. [18:37] adrock358: lsusb [18:37] xomp: line 559 to 585 seems to be about your monitor [18:37] chef_: if it's crashed to the point where it doesn't take Magic SysRq key requests, you'll have to pull the plug/remove the battery [18:37] Marbug: You could try !vmware too maybe? [18:37] xomp: and from lines 670 its shows the tests [18:37] hmm im trying to apt-get gnupg but it cant find the package [18:37] 050d:705a mrobvious is this it? [18:37] well, I'm running ubuntu in vmware unser windows , vmware tools are installed, but I can't get anything in /mnt/gtfs [18:37] !vmware [18:37] adrock358: What's the full line? [18:37] 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 [18:38] adrock358: that's the USB ID -- type that into Google to find out your chipset [18:38] is there an easy way to run an application on ubuntu via terminal? [18:38] ok I know enough :p [18:38] zenobius, ok, do you see anything in there that would prevent Compiz from starting? :) [18:38] what is the delete command in terminal [18:38] Marbug: Lol. Have fun. [18:38] ow lol no wait [18:38] nm, I think I managed to trick the system [18:38] osfameron: You want to delete files? [18:38] fotoflo: try sudo apt-cache search gnupg | grep [enter more refinement here] [18:39] soundray: what would happen if I just hit the reset button? [18:39] OshaMaHUe: rm [18:39] !rm | osfameron [18:39] I'm wrong, it's the vmware player thats not available for 7.10, but the shared folders could work hmm [18:39] osfameron: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [18:39] Bus 004 Device 003: ID 050d:705a Belkin Components [18:39] soundray, should i type that and then "chipset" in google? [18:39] !cli > chef_, see the private message for a link to frequently used terminal commands [18:39] i think my graphics is so fried that I need a reinstall [18:39] adrock358: I think that's it. [18:39] chef_: it will probably reboot and be fine [18:39] Hi I installed the new catalyst 8.1 ati driver and it seems to be running great...but the thing is when I go to log-out it usually crashes, is anyone else having this problem. [18:40] mrobvious that's what [18:40] zenobius: thanks! [18:40] gnupg2 [18:40] adrock358: well, if you do, you'll find that you have an rt73 chipset [18:40] ahh. thanks soundray [18:40] fer [18:40] still couldnt find it [18:40] mrobvious. so now i search ubuntu forums for help with that? [18:40] zenobius, lines 924 - 939 look weird too. [18:40] Yeah search for 050d:705a [18:41] gnupg2 - GNU privacy guard - a free PGP replacement [18:41] adrock358: Reading is one way to learn how to use Linux. :) [18:41] E: Couldn't find package gnupgp2 [18:41] fotoflo: Typonese.

[18:41] Thanks MrObvious [18:41] very [18:41] i cannot get help form internet [18:41] fotoflo: Usually that means you typed it wrong. :) You're welcome. [18:42] zenobius, lol, ok. It a Gutsy problem you think? [18:42] OshaMaHUe: What exactly? [18:42] MrObvious: heh, yup [18:42] Isn't compiz fusion available for gusty gibbon?

[18:42] debdrup: yes [18:42] * soundray looks at his one red cheek in the mirror [18:42] MrObvious that was the problem [18:42] jeffMASTERflex: then is it just me or is the guide on the wiki out of date? [18:42] cool [18:42] soundray said my chipset is rt73. thank you, but i'm not uinterested in learning how to use linux while i have no wireless card. i supposed i could skip work, and sit at my computer and learn linux without an internet connection, but that doesn't seem like a very good use of my time. Does it to you? [18:42] OshaMaHUe: which directory did you use to put the beta installation? [18:43] debdrup: don't know. i've never used it [18:43] i have already deleted it [18:43] hi [18:43] OshaMaHUe: why did you try to upgrade? [18:43] i installed tor via Synaptic Package Manager but i can't find it.. any ideas? [18:43] debdrup, I installed Gutsy on an old PC at work and compiz fusion works a treat on it. For some reason it doesn't like this laptop lol [18:43] adrock358: Does it work if you do sudo modprobe rt73? [18:43] because i lige 30b2 [18:43] xomp: did you follow any guide or what? [18:43] debdrup: you can adjust the settings by downloading compizconfigblahblah [18:43] adrock358: don't be so touchy. You're getting valuable help here. [18:43] i used it in windows [18:43] xomp: its xrandr. when i tried to get mine going like it is now in feisty...xrandr always took over and borked it [18:44] how do i get the option to use 40-bit hex in the wifi manager [18:44] debdrup, nope, just tried to enable the fancy effects because compiz is already installed on Gutsy. It just fails saying it can't start. [18:44] !latest | OshaMaHUe well, you fell on your sword [18:44] soundray. you;re right. i'm just fried man. i have too much pressure going to be dealing with this. i don't know how to use linux. i will. and i will learn. but now is not the best time for me. i just want to get my internet card working. [18:44] xomp: what is the error? use a pastebin [18:44] xomp: just compiz --replace and then enable it from the system settings? [18:45] !latest | OshaMaHUe [18:45] OshaMaHUe well, you fell on your sword: 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. [18:45] adrock358: how did you determine that it's not working already? [18:45] OshaMaHUe: 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. [18:45] earthen: You just select the SSID that is secure and it pops up a window asking for a security key. If you don't see it look on the taskbar. May I recommend WPA as WEP is easily crackable (within a minute)? [18:45] adrock358: you cant get wired going either? [18:45] crdlb, here's my xorg file http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52652/ if that helps [18:45] debdrup, I'll try that real quick :) [18:45] * MrObvious is off to try KDE4.

I wonder if there is a rt73 package? [18:46] i will check mr. obvious [18:46] i removed 2 too [18:46] mrobvious. i'll check [18:46] MrObvious: well It is not my computer it's a friend and he uses 40 bit hex wep [18:46] MrObvious: no, you're putting adrock358 on the wrong track here... [18:47] adrock358: your device is supported by a module that is called rt73usb. It comes with Ubuntu as standard. [18:47] Can someone help me, why does my NTFS-3G driver use 100% of my CPU? [18:47] <_Dbug_> Question: What can be a reason why a Ubuntu 7.10 CD fail to work on a brand new machine ? (the cd works on another machine).

[18:56] _Dbug_: That will work [18:57] nigel: odd. its fine for me... probably becuase im using feisty and not gutsy [18:57] _Dbug_: Just let it do the defaults to the unpartitioned space [18:57] soundray and by putting it in that dir it will be automatically started? [18:57] <_Dbug_> Cpudan80, ok, I just ask because in a previous attempt two month a go I wiped the xp install :-/ [18:57] can't get dvds to play. I have libdvdcss installed.

[19:03] vlc is the bst, it des lots, [19:03] <_Dbug_> matthew, I agree with DMole on that. VLC is better than most players I tried, and Totem is one of the less reliable - on my machine. [19:03] matthew: or Mplayer with all the codecs [19:03] matthew: so you have libdvdcss2, libdvdnav4, libdvdread3 and ffmpeg? are you using gstreamer plugins or xine? I usully have better luck with xine but i think that is more a personal preference than anything [19:04] yes thank you soundray [19:04] DOOM_NX: it should be under shockwave flash. if you have the adobe player the file name should be called libflashplayer.so [19:04] thx zen i'm gonna try that repo [19:04] thx unagi [19:04] nigel: wait, ill find the page to describe process [19:04] rinaldi_, File name: libflashplayer.so Shockwave Flash 9.0 r115 [19:04] nigel: as that repo is for feisty [19:04] anyone else had problems with X after updating feisty?

[19:13] _dbug_ , ikonia: i too would be interested in how to get those grub menu options to be created in a reverse order.....ie have the new ones at the bottom [19:13] WorkingOnWise: I have an 8600m on my laptop otherwise I would.

[19:14] MrObvious: are u using the version 169.07 nvidia driver? [19:14] I use feisty and my sources.lst is deleted [19:14] soundray but it's not definite. [19:14] zenobius-> you just have to modify the /boot/grub/menu.lst and order the entries per your desires.. default off course can be set to any in the entries [19:14] DMole: putty ? thats a terminal client what has that got to do with anything [19:14] WorkingOnWise: No. [19:14] ikonia: the first error in the list is actually "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/fonts/libbitmap.so is an unrecognized module type" [19:14] adrock359: let's find out why the driver isn't loading when you boot from HD. [19:14] crdlb: Thanks.. I made a note on the ATI hack and will check it out asap.. [19:14] any pkg I can install to get apt configured with proper repos [19:15] soundray: So was the rt73 module not installed or something? Or how did you get it to work? [19:15] soundray. awesome.. do you mind if i go down stairs for 3-4 minutes? [19:15] adrock359: do you know the name of the device where you installed Ubuntu? /dev/hda5 or something similar) [19:15] !easysource > vignesh [19:15] vignesh: How did they get messed up [19:15] so anyone here good at customizing compiz fusion? I saw a video on youtube where the fellow had some sort of "flame" rendering when he would right click or close out of a window. I can't seem to find such a setting in this haha. [19:15] bkar: yeah i'd like the new kernels to be automatically put at the bottom instead of the top [19:15] soundray, yeah that's the prob. i don't how do i check real wuick [19:15] some one messed it up.. [19:16] ikonia: must have misread I thought you were saying there was no safe way to rw a file on a linux box from windows sorry :) [19:16] <_Dbug_> Cpudan80, my windows install is alive, and grub works :) [19:16] MrObvious: turns out that it works when he boots from the live CD. The problem is far from solved yet [19:16] _Dbug_: You did it right! :-) [19:16] Does anyone know how i can find out which partition i installed ubuntu on? [19:16] Jack_Sparrow: that link is invalid === Veterini is now known as Lylat [19:16] soundray: Hmm. I'm following this one. :\ [19:16] adrock359: Look at where / is [19:16] adrock359: 'sudo fdisk -l' from the live CD [19:16] DMole: on a remote linux box ? [19:16] bkar: i was running a intro group to webdev, in a shared room...i was allowed to put ubuntu as dual boot, but i ended up having to come in on my days off to change the grub menu [19:16] <_Dbug_> DMole, I was asking about having a windows xp write on a ext2 linux install on a dualboot setup. All on the same machine :) [19:16] adrock359: or read /etc/fstab [19:16] whats the difference between a normal user and a system user? [19:16] adrock359: Normally its sda1 (primary hdd, first partition) [19:17] Cpudan80, titusg: please don't reply to adrock359 unless you understand his situation in full. [19:17] _Dbug_: not safe [19:17] _dbug_ : my experience with the windows supplied unix filesystem support is reallly bad [19:17] !easysource > vignesh [19:17] Hilikus: normal user is the normal user, system user is root. [19:17] soundray: OK - thanks - he asked "What partition is ubuntu installed on --- I answered" [19:17] _dbug_ : basically crashed windows alot [19:17] soundray: Looking at the fstab file is a sound way to figure it out [19:18] vignesh: Noted.. will look into it right now [19:18] <_Dbug_> ikonia, zenobius, what about having a virtual link in linux to get the grub configuration to point on a ntfs volume on the windows machine ? [19:18] Which is what I was about to explain [19:18] brobostigon what would i have more than 1 root user?? im reading adduser man and theres a switch for system users or normal users [19:18] _Dbug_: VERY bad idea [19:18] Cpudan80: you are going to confuse if you continue. Please! [19:18] <_Dbug_> ikonia, ok :) Just asking [19:18] Hilikus: You only need one root user. [19:18] Hilikus: you can only have one root user, [19:18] Cpudan80: he's booted off the live CD atm [19:18] _dbu_: thats beyond my abilites [19:19] adrock359: still there? [19:19] :) [19:19] !sudo | Hilikus [19:19] Hilikus: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [19:19] exactly, so that cant be the difference. adduser lets you create SYSTEM users with --system [19:19] soundray: I think he went downstairs for 3-4 minutes. lol [19:19] soundray: oh [19:19] Hilikus-> you can have multiple users with root priviledges, but its not recommended [19:19] soundray. i am confused. i entered that but i don't know how to decipher, from the output, which disk my os is installed to. i gotta go downstaris for a sec. brb [19:19] soundray, yes please don't leave [19:19] ok so let me change my question [19:19] Hilikus: do 'cat /etc/passwd', all the userids less than 100 are system users, and can not be used to login directly but are used for various things [19:20] what's adduser --system [19:20] adrock359: I'll help you decipher [19:20] soundray, i just have to grab a bite real quick or i'm not going to get anywhere here [19:20] Hilikus, you are only giving permission to a user to be able to run things with permissions of UID 0 - you are not setting them up as UID 0 subtle difference but important [19:20] astro76 oh ok, so system users are more restricted [19:20] soundray ok. sweet === Riddell is now known as Riddellll [19:20] soundray: Have him cat /etc/fstab to a pastbin? [19:20] MrObvious: live CD! [19:20] soundray: That would tell you all you need to know. Oh, it's not mounted right. [19:20] :\ [19:21] mrobvious, soundray: will the contents of /etc/mtab be useful? === Riddellll is now known as Riddell [19:21] vignesh: What part of the world do you live in.. [19:21] India [19:21] mrobvious for some reason when i open my browser i lose my wireless connection. it's too risky [19:21] soundray: He could still access that file [19:21] Guys, there's plenty of useful info on adrock359's hard disk -- BUT WE HAVE TO GET there first [19:21] sorry for shouting [19:22] * MrObvious hides the coffee from soundray [19:22] lol [19:22] arrgh [19:22] soundray: There are multiple ways to do this -- quit acting as if your way is the only way [19:22] just want to say thank you to all of you for helping...especially soundray [19:22] It's probably going to say /dev/sda1 anyway [19:22] vignesh: May I assume you are using Gutsy? [19:22] yeah [19:22] so anyone know how I can downgrade x to get it working? the latest package which is meant to fix things is what actually caused the problem for me [19:23] anyone know of a cli upnp client daemon? [19:23] Or edit the config? It's complaining about the bitmap module [19:23] do you guys mind if i make a sandwich real quick or is this the only time i will get help? [19:23] Cpudan80: that's irrelevant. I'm well on track to help him. If you barge in like that, all you'll do is confuse. [19:23] Hilikus: they are used so certain software can run suid and have file system access controlled by permissions [19:23] like a one shot deal sort of thing? [19:23] Jack_Sparrow: where are you generating it ? [19:23] can I see that site ? [19:23] astro76 thats what i thought, i wanted to create a subversion user and that sounded like the right way to go [19:23] vignesh: I was going to see what I could find.. [19:23] Hilikus: or not necessarily suid but as that user [19:23] Cpudan80: I'm happy to leave it all to you, except that I'm invested a bit in this already. So, at least let me finish. [19:23] okay [19:24] screw it i can stick around if that's better [19:24] adrock359: it'll be good to have a timeout [19:24] vignesh: I can post my America's source list if that helps at all. [19:24] adrock359: let me know when you're back [19:24] yeah..sure post it [19:24] soundray. great. i agree. i'll be back in five (my five, not yours). thank you. be beack real soon. [19:24] Hilikus: and also I said <100, it's < 1000 [19:25] !easysource | vignesh, Jack_Sparrow [19:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about easysource - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:25] oops... [19:25] ikonia: I don't suppose the fixed package is some repo I haven't got is it? It'd be a main one right? [19:25] soundray, it is gone - no longer valid link etc [19:26] ompaul: Seveas not maintaining it any more? [19:26] hi ubunters [19:27] hi [19:27] Jack_Sparrow: you there ? [19:27] I want to encrypt part of my HD (not entirely) with dm-crypt/LUKS and use LVM as well. I'm right now in the process of installing Ubuntu, but wonder if the installer uses LVM by default when choosing an encrypted partition. [19:27] vignesh: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52658/ [19:27] Can anyone tell me? [19:27] anyone using lenovo 3000 N100 with gutsy and sound working? [19:27] vignesh: As you can see this had feisty and upgraded to gutsy [19:27] does anybody uses LDAP or an equivalent to disburse/distro a client host requires like, ip addrss, name servers, firewall policies, services, pretty much like an LTSP but not ltsp ? can you elaborate what you use for these? [19:27] the terminal accepts my sudo password but not my 'su' password .... how do i know my su password ?? [19:28] Drixx: don't use su.. if you have to, use sudo -i [19:28] Drixx you should set it first [19:28] cosmodad: I know this much -- the Desktop Install CD does not support LVM at all. [19:28] danielig: I've got a lenovo T42 and the sound works (Alsa) [19:28] is there a way to have a slideshow desktop in gnome? like kubntu has? [19:28] soundray: at least, that's not true for Gutsy server installation which I am using. It does offer LVM. [19:28] danielig: don't tell people to set a root password, please [19:28] danielig: how do i set it ?? [19:29] how to check the processor and everything in ubuntu using shell ? [19:29] !root | Drixx [19:29] Drixx: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [19:29] Drixx, trust soundray it is not a good idea if you don't know how to [19:29] cosmodad: it is true for the Desktop Install CD, which is what I said. [19:29] tifine: cat /proc/cpuinfo is a starter. [19:29] soundray: sure, never denied that. Just added something. :) Thanks. [19:29] lshw [19:29] hi all, when i plug in my dm-crypt/luks drive thru usb, gnome smoothly gives me this GUI, asks me for password, creates the mapper device and mount point. Umounting it, it cleanly removes the mount and mapper entries. I would like to know if i can do this with another encrypted drive i have, however, its not a usb one [19:30] tifine: a nice term app for that is htop [19:30] Anyobody can help me? I see tearing in flash videos (like youtube) with Firefox. [19:30] sudo lshw | less will give you all the hardware info one could desire [19:30] ikonia: argh, this laptop is edgy not feisty [19:30] when im connecting to a wireless network there is no info about whats happening and where it fails.. how do i see that? [19:30] ~dvd [19:30] rsync --progress -P -v http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ubuntu-releases/gutsy/ubuntu-7.10-server-i386.iso should download the server iso, correct? [19:30] !dvd [19:30] 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 [19:31] it get no output for my soundcard with head -n 1 /proc/asound/card0/codec* [19:31] danielig: to install java ... in d instructions is uses su ... wat to do ?? [19:31] Ven]n: try 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' in a terminal window [19:31] there is no sound [19:31] Drixx, use sudo instead [19:31] I should still be able to fix by downgrading xserver though? where can I find out the version numbers to use? [19:31] kk [19:31] I try to log boot messages. I change BOOTLOGD_ENABLE to yes on /etc/default/bootlogd and /home/%USER%/etc/default/bootlogd and nothin is logged in /var/log/boot. What can I do else ? II use gutsy 7.10 [19:31] okie how should i know that my laptop motherboard supports upto 2gb ram ? [19:31] Drixx: You should not install java directly from www.java.com --- you should download the package from apt-get [19:31] xand_-> you may be able to do it, but you have to play around with udev, start with udevinfo and look in /etc/udev for how your system is setup now to load that dm-crypt [19:32] Drixx, listen to Cpudan80 [19:32] bakr: sorry for bringing this up again, but would it be possible to get those kernel upgrade to automatically put themeselves as newest last instead of first? [19:32] !java | Drixx [19:32] try sudo apt-get install java [19:32] looks like a fix on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/183969 [19:32] hrm... [19:32] Drixx: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) [19:32] vbabiy: you need more than just libdvdcss2 to play dvd's. you also need libdvdread, libdvdnav, ffmpeg for either gstreamer or xine [19:33] bakr: regarding the grub menu. as the autoload option is seto the windows partition, which gets it number changed each time a kernel upgrade happens thus breaking he auto boot to windows for the nonlinux people in that room i share [19:33] !dvd [19:33] 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 [19:33] Drixx: Follow the instructions at the ubuntu page ubotu handed to you [19:33] tifine: RAM dealers like Crucial and Kingston maintain databases of memory compatibility - check their web sites [19:33] wow now my screen is split into 4 overlapping sets of scan lines lines - but I can still see the desktop - looks like a scrambled atari console [19:33] zenobius-> the auto updates put it as first, not as last, so you have to manually modify the menu.lst yourself [19:33] vbabiy: just use VLC IMO [19:33] evil_tech: does totem gstreamer version work [19:33] tifine: Mushkin is another one [19:33] vbabiy: does for some but not all [19:33] bkar : so i ahve to either do no updates or come in on my day off?

(background in black and text in white) [19:34] justin_ Huh? [19:35] tifine: go to the web sites as I suggested and enter your laptop manufacturer and model name [19:35] bkar : updates arent a once off thing. [19:35] justin_: What are you trying to do? [19:35] vbabiy: VLC just works [19:35] soundray, thanks.. doesnt show much though [19:35] parkin no but you could use compiz fusion's negative plugin. [19:35] zenobius-> not ? how many updates do you do in a day? [19:35] soundary: okie thnxs [19:35] bkar: meaning i will have to continually update that file after each upgrade [19:35] DMole: I get a error when i try to run vlc [19:35] Ven]n: hmm, it should if something fails... [19:35] bkar: OMG, have no idea how to play with them...gonna check out..thanks [19:35] zenobius-> and what is wrong doing the manual updates of your menu.lst? you can write a script is you wish [19:36] soundray, ok.. it didnt fail.. hehe.. ;) [19:36] vbabiy: did you install it? [19:36] bkar : not possible to change the behavior to put the new ones last?

Do a 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt' [19:42] cpudan80: i have no idea what that means or how to edit it [19:42] soundray done [19:42] justin_: Looks like it's already mounted then [19:42] vbabiy: sounds odd i'm not sure it might be a video driver problem normally wxvlc just works [19:42] zenobius-> some script, which one? i dont know, you have to look to dpkg and the update source code [19:43] adrock359: now 'cd /mnt/var/log' [19:43] justin_: To /media/sda2 [19:43] adrock359: should come back with no output [19:43] soundray correct [19:43] zenobius-> btw, why is it that you need to make the latest updates to be in the menu last? [19:43] justin_: So if you cd to /media/sda2 --- you should see your NTFS drive [19:43] bkar: did you read my paste, sorry forgot to type your nick [19:43] soundray just a new heading...or prompt.. [19:43] adrock359: 'grep -i rt syslog' -- any output? Lots of it? [19:44] I've been trying to restore GRUB for the longest time now. I've formatted five times now and have tried super GRUB disc, but I don't stop getting "error 15" when I try to boot. [19:44] soundray lots [19:44] cpudan80: no that was where i first tried to mount it but it wouldnt work i mounted it to home/justin/win [19:44] eariler today i made a backup of my drive... how can i restore that? it was something like loopback mounting or something? [19:44] is there a reason why Gutsy Installer doesn't allow to create encrypted partitions using the LRW algorithm? [19:44] vbabiy: are you using GUI or CLI? [19:44] adrock359: how big is syslog in total? 'ls -s syslog' [19:44] justin_: Do you have the ntfs3g package? [19:44] gui [19:44] xand_-> without my nick, i misses paste..i cant read all [19:44] justin_: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g I think [19:44] i think the alternate cd does encrypted partitions [19:44] maybe [19:44] cpudan80: yeah i can read/write it i guess i need to remount it, ill try [19:45] bkar: when i plug in my dm-crypt/luks drive thru usb, gnome smoothly gives me this GUI, asks me for password, creates the mapper device and mount point. Umounting it, it cleanly removes the mount and mapper entries. I would like to know if i can do this with another encrypted drive i have, however, its not a usb one [19:45] justin_: sudo mount -a [19:45] miketalanca-> grub error 15 means its not able to find the stage1.5 [19:45] vbabiy: do other players or files work? [19:45] hi. I'm encountering the same problem given in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=663422 (nautilus is stuck fullscreen and won't go away). Is there any way to fix this? [19:45] Yeah [19:45] hello, does anybody know if is possible to completly purge gnome from ubuntu??? [19:45] bkar: well when you update the kernel. it puts the new kernel at the top, so if i specified the grub to auto boot the entry for windows which might be no 6, after an upgrade it will be no 7 thus auto boot no 6 wont work [19:45] I only have a problem with vlc [19:45] can someone help me with installing a font.ttf i just dled..........gimp doesnt see it [19:45] soundray. i left the ' on the end of syslog and now it is all screwed u [19:46] bkar: btw i ve tried useing savedefault option, but it does not work [19:46] w00t: try pressing F11 [19:46] adrock359: Ctrl-C [19:46] zenobius-> ..you can set the default to which ever entry, man or google for using grub in-depth [19:46] bkar: Yeah, I know that, but everything I try to to do restore it doesn't work. [19:46] I isntalled the flashplayer for firefox and only some videos play, others don't - any ideas? [19:46] bkar: i dont think you understand nor appreciate what im trying to do...thanks [19:46] soundray. 176 syslog. thank you. i don't know how many times that has screwed me up.. [19:47] Flare183, tried that. and killing nautilus, removing .nautilus, restarting X, restarting.. :\ [19:47] does no one here download custom fonts? [19:47] unagi: You have to copy the font file to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/myFonts [19:47] adrock359: too big for pasting... let's think... [19:47] vbabiy: never had a problem with vlc on any computer but if something else works then just use that something else .... Mplayer is nice [19:47] xand_-> you may be able to do it, but you have to play around with udev, start with udevinfo and look in /etc/udev for how your system is setup now to load that dm-crypt.. you have to dig deeper into this [19:47] im soundray? [19:47] Cpudan80: i did that but its not showing up [19:47] unagi: then run fc-cache -f -v [19:47] !font > unagi, please read the private message [19:47] i did that [19:47] unagi: you'll need to restart gimp [19:47] i did that too Cpudan80 [19:48] soundray: ive already done that [19:48] unagi: Do the fc-cache thing as sudo [19:48] sudo fc-cache -f -v [19:48] adrock359: do a 'less -i syslog' and search for rt73 (hit / and enter the search string) [19:48] Cpudan80: i did [19:48] soundray. the only problem is that i can't start my browser...or that it is unreliable.. [19:48] unagi: what did it output? [19:48] unagi: make sure the .ttf files have read permissions for all users [19:48] zenobius-> i dont believed you have read enuff on how grub works, the different options, you have to play with it to really be familiar with it, [19:49] fc-cache: succeeded [19:49] adrock359: forget browsers for now, this is commandline stuff [19:49] soundray: which chmod is that [19:49] Hi. I have a Toshiba laptop and I recently got more system RAM (1.25gb total). I have a 32mb gfx card and I was wondering how I can check or if it should (my gfx card) allocate more system RAM for itself. [19:49] unagi: 644 [19:49] w00t: oh boy... [19:49] unagi: cd to the directory with the font and chmod 644 font.ttf as soundray said [19:49] irc.esper.net [19:50] mikebeecham-> have you also made sure the device.map is matching? the default ? the System.map.xxx ?

I'm looking through dmesg and I see a big jump in timestamp right before this line: checking if image is initramfs... it is [19:51] adrock359: can you see anything that makes sense?

[19:51] unagi: woo-hoo, no problem man [19:51] soundray i entered less -i syslog and got a lot back. then i typed /rt73 and didn't get much, [19:51] soundray: I've been AFK, what are you up to now? :D [19:51] * MrObvious is wanting to learn from soundray [19:51] soundray. umm, so i'm looking for the line rt73....one sec [19:51] w00t: yeah umm I dont' know of another way but completly purging natilus* (*sp I can't spell) from your system [19:51] I have an old computer...and i just put an old hard drive....the bios when i boot up cannot find the hd...so i cannot install ubuntu...can someone walk me through this?

Now we're looking for rt73-related error messages in /var/log/syslog. === billenium is now known as Billenium1 [19:52] frost0: that's a common hardware problem; i'd concentrate on (duh) geting BIOS to recognize the drive first. Try securing all the cables and making sure the pins in the back of the drive are correctly placed [19:52] w00t: yeah try that before you purge it from the system [19:52] frost0: if the bios cant find it, then its not properly installed [19:52] anyone else with FLASH 9 seeing tearing here in this animation? http://www.amarasoftware.com/flash-animations/barcode.htm [19:52] adrock359: that's a good one.

Edit /etc/usplash.conf and change "xres" and "yres" to a resolution that your graphics system certainly supports, then run « sudo update-usplash-theme usplash-theme-ubuntu » [20:09] Cpudan80: there you go [20:09] magick`: That's the one [20:09] evil_tech. cool man. thanks. [20:09] magick`: sorry about that [20:09] soundray, i have an old hard drive with windows 98 still on it....i can boot windows..but, when i run fdisk...or put in ubuntu install cd...it cant find hd...any ideas? [20:09] Cpudan80, perfect.. that sounds right. thanks! [20:09] adrock359: and i would ask others opinion too [20:10] Flare183, no problem [20:10] I am having trouble trying to get my gps device I just bought to work. http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=MS-GD-03&cat=GPS Does anyone know if there is a linux driver, or how to get it working? [20:10] magick`: Not sure how that relates to TCP... but.... stranger things have happened [20:10] evil_tech i'm getting so depressed about this. i want to believe that ubuntu will work. it seems like such an awesome os [20:10] anyone know why after installing the adobe and gnash plugins in firefox would == visiting youtube.com resulting in an entire system lockup and require a hard shutdown? [20:10] bkar: no i am not [20:10] server undernet [20:10] xomp: because only one of them shoudl be installed ? [20:11] soundray, have you every heard of that? [20:11] bkar: wish i could find an emplyer that doesnt keep trying to find the cheapest way out [20:11] phantomcircuit, I was prompted to install both. [20:11] adrock359:it is when you arent using wireless via usb :/ [20:11] xomp: plugins are conficting. uninstall one of them [20:11] phantomcircuit, after installing the adobe plugin I restarted firefox and went back to youtube.com. I was then prompted to also install Gnash at that time.

This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads.

[20:12] xomp: it silently fails when the md5 sum doesn't match [20:12] phantomcircuit: I know, but I was hoping maybe there was a third party driver. [20:12] i feel like smashing my balls against a wall [20:12] Help [20:12] Thi4f: did you try downloading the .deb file to replace the apt-get [20:12] zenobius: they are cheap, they spend lotsof money [20:12] strange stuff lol [20:12] xomp: try and install it again and read the details [20:13] zenobius: they are not cheap, expensive [20:13] ok, I'll try to remove Gnash then [20:13] UBUNTUISLOVED: I did not. What do you mean? [20:13] partypants69: that seems extremely unlikely [20:13] I activated my graphics driver [20:13] Cpudan80, quick q while i'm waiting for this to boot: should I use my natural 1920x1200 res or a vga compatible one [20:13] adrock359: yes i have been watching most of the morning. i've never had a problem with wireless. all my cards are internal intels and have worked quite well. [20:13] brobostigon: but they arent customisable . the window manager is horrible the hotkeys suck [20:13] And now it wont load [20:13] but thats another topic [20:13] partypants69: http://tuxmobil.org/gps_linux_survey.html [20:13] i want to use ubuntu so bad....i want it's capabilities. put linux on my ipod and stuff. it would be so sweet.

[20:14] How i turn off the graphics driver? [20:14] phantomcircuit: You think so? At the very least, do you know how I can look at the hardware details to see if it is even being detected? [20:14] adrock359: dont put ipodlinux on your ipod, consider rockbox instead [20:14] evil_tech. it's a common adapter. i'm not real big into computers. and i'm pretty stubborn. so i'm not going to stop until i get this adap to work [20:14] adrock359: ipodlinux is tooooo slow [20:14] zenobius does that have text input? [20:14] magick`: You should use whatever is supported by the card [20:14] adrock359: hell yea [20:15] alanbshepard70: I guess a shell script, perhaps, though I am clueless in the area [20:15] well before he does that he needs wifi on his current comp [20:15] How i turn off the graphics driver using the terminal? [20:15] zenobius. thank you. why is it better? [20:15] adrock359: Is this a desktop computer? [20:15] magick`: If your gfx card supports that res, go for it [20:15] scguy318: that was my guess also but I to am clueless when it's come to shell scripts. :( [20:15] mrobvious yes [20:15] what is a good cd burning program?

[20:17] Can i get an answer please as i cant do anything [20:17] mrobvious. i don't have a pci card though [20:17] ok, firefox tells me the adobe non-free plugin is installed already and each time I close my browser and surf back to youtube I'm continually getting prompts to install something that is already installed..... [20:17] Gjm: I already did. [20:17] hi everybody. could anyone help me please?

[20:19] Thi4f: apt-get clean && apt-get update [20:19] It is an audio cd. [20:19] adrock359: i only use the appleos side for videos, and not even that, unless im plugged into a power point and hooked up to a tv [20:19] zenobius cool. so if i had a pdf or .doc i had to read, i could convert it to .txt and throw it up there.

[20:23] if appleos had text input i would just use that [20:23] adrock359: vcard/ical should be in soon. they have ut going for other players in beta but not ipod yet [20:23] i'm having issues with a SATA dvd burner, ubuntu 7.04 - the drive is not recognized by k3b or other burning applications [20:23] No images show [20:23] zenobius if appleos had text input i would just use that [20:23] Thi4f: what did you modify last? [20:23] Gjm: do you have internet connection on the computer ? [20:23] adrock359: they also have video in the works [20:23] Yea [20:23] can i sync the system clock with a online time server? [20:23] if yes, how?> [20:24] adrock359: appleos needs to also allow large text reading [20:24] UBUNTUISLOVED: Only thing I did after install from live cd was setup the network to static ip [20:24] adrock359: like files larger than 1kb [20:24] Thi4f: from command line can you ping google.com [20:24] i'm sad ipodlinux or orckbox aren't supported by my new ipod classic [20:24] can you even read text in appleos zenobius?

Would this still be the cause of the delay? [20:24] Gjm: sudo apt-get install irssi that's a command line chat program. after it is installed type irssi in terminal to start it. /server irc.freenode.net to connect /join #ubuntu [20:24] UBUNTUISLOVED: Yep, works fine [20:25] adrock359: yeah but you can only have small pages, like about 500 lines then it just cuts off the rest [20:25] it just doesn't make sense that my wireless works in livecd but not regularly [20:25] Thi4f: do a route -n [20:25] problem with SATA DVD burner, any advice? [20:25] magick`: Does it give you any kind of errors? [20:25] Thi4f: pm me [20:25] Cpudan80, nope [20:25] Gjm: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg should get you sorted with the graphics [20:25] magick`: seven minutes is a long time... really 7 minutes? [20:25] adrock359: so i spose you have to cut your files up into chunks. they go in a "notes" folder on the root of your pod [20:25] zenobius how do you transfe a txt to appleos [20:25] magick`: Is this a laptop... or a desktop? [20:25] Cpudan80, just "Starting up..." .. yep still waiting after changing to 1920x1200 [20:26] adrock359: good thing about is that it uses basic html, so you can put tags to the next page [20:26] Cpudan80, pretty fast desktop: quadcore, 4gb ram, 8600gt [20:26] zenobius. no kidding. and all you have to do is put files in there to read? [20:26] UBUNTUISLOVED: Gah, have to register, hold on [20:26] adrock359: yep [20:26] magick`: Which version of ubuntu are you using? [20:26] sarthor, if $P1 is 192.168.1.1 and has a netmask 255.255.255.0 then $P1_NET is 192.168.1.0 [20:26] Cpudan80, 7.10 [20:26] adrock359:i assume that the wifi in question was working fine in windows? [20:26] magick`: x86 or x86_64 ? [20:26] un_op, thanks frnd [20:26] Cpudan80, x86 [20:26] hmm. wait can you type zenobius? do you have your ipod? because mine needs to be restored currently [20:26] adrock359: do a google for ipod vegetarian recipe book [20:26] magick`: That might be the problem [20:26] evil_tech yup [20:27] magick`: You really need to use x86_64 with that much ram [20:27] Cpudan80, so another solution would be to take out a gig? [20:27] adrock359: you want me to test something in appleos? [20:27] magick`: 4GBs of RAM is not addressable in 32 bit space [20:27] magick`: You could do it just to see if that helps [20:27] evil_tech. maybe i should install ndis wrap and use window driver. i tried that though. [20:27] Cpudan80, will do [20:27] zenobius yeah so if you can input text [20:27] k [20:28] I read on Digg that if you download and install the new xserver, your stuff won't work anymore. Should I download the new xserver core? [20:28] bkar i think i'm going to burn alt cd and install and see what happens. are there any specialized instructions i should follow? [20:28] adrock359:that could work but ndiswrapper is a pain [20:29] adrock359: its all text so dont expect a gui [20:29] evil_tech. wait, the os is text? [20:29] adrock359: rockbox also lets you use your music like winamp does, ie sort your music by folders, or you can scan the entire collection and use the apple way [20:29] is there something wrong with the update? when i type its really slow, and it lags and sometimes it stretches one letter many times. its weird [20:29] adrock359: also when it finds your wired ethernet and wireless it should prompt which one you want to use as default. select you wireless [20:29] does anyone use the crapbuster script for irssi? [20:29] just the installer is text [20:30] how do i ensure that eth1 is set to a certain adapter? [20:30] !xbug | fparis [20:30] fparis: A bug has recently caused an X.org package to break. It is fixed now, just update your packages list from Synaptic/Adept or « sudo apt-get update » [20:30] adrock359: it also has pitch control [20:30] zenobius. yeah rockbox is great. can you check to see if you can use text input on the ipod? [20:30] Cpudan80, no luck with 3gb of ram [20:30] magick`: :-( [20:30] adrock359: checking now, i think it might be the set-time date thing im thinking off [20:30] evil_tech. it installs the regular ubuntu desktop right? [20:31] magick`: Is this a fresh install... or? [20:31] can compiz do transparent title bars like emerald? [20:31] zenobius yeah i think so [20:31] adrock359: yes just the installer is text [20:31] Cpudan80, yes, its a fresh install. this also happened with the livecd.. i thought it crashed but just went away from my desk and came back and it booted [20:31] evil_tech is it difficult. i know nothing about computers [20:31] hi everybody. could anyone help me please? I've installed ubuntu, but I can't load it for the first time.. it hangs either at "Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20" if I disconnect my external HD, or at some "Attached scsi generic.." if I don't. [20:31] magick`: hrm... I dunno man :-/ [20:31] is it all linux command stuff evil_tech. or does it just ask you questions? [20:32] adrock359: the text installer is simple, just be carefull. [20:32] bkar i'm installing the alt cd will be back later. e-mail adress is adrock358@gmail.com if any info or anything at all. thank you ber much. [20:32] Cpudan80, no problem, i'll keep searching.. i wish it would've given me some type of error message [20:32] adrock359: just questions, no manual [20:32] adrock359: and the screenlock thing, they both use the same concept to choose the letters [20:33] hi, how can I see if I have xv/hw accell etc? [20:34] is it possible to do packet writing in a write-once medium? [20:34] dvd+r [20:34] Hi. [20:34] Hilikus, You are refering to the 'treting an optical disk as a huge floppy ' type thing? :) not seen that done under linux. [20:35] Could someone please help me to open a bin file in Ubuntu? I would like to burn it to a cd or convert it to an ISO. [20:35] Dr_willis yes, i dont want to have discs with a million multisessions [20:35] Hilikus, not seen that done. Not sure if it can be done. [20:35] i have, but for dvd+rw [20:36] Hey, does anyone know squid settings ? I try to have one squid proxy go through a parent squid for http, it works well, except for mp3 streaming. I get about 3 sec and then it stops...anyone has an idea why ? [20:37] nicholas: a bin file can be burned to cd, it is an image file [20:37] tago: try ctrl/alt/delete at the hang [20:37] Trying to do the software update, I get this: W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xorg-server/xserver-xorg-core_1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu8.1_i386.deb [20:37] 403 Forbidden [20:37] rinaldi_: With what program? === nicholas_ is now known as nicholas [20:37] I need some serious help regarding the GRUB bootloader.

[20:37] pilgrim_: check/update again then try again [20:37] I'm gonna try that.. looks like a quite simple thing I should've done before [20:38] thanks [20:38] I have formatted 5 times and done every terminal command I could find. [20:38] pilgrim_: yes sudo apt update then try it... [20:38] I cannot restore GRUB at all :/ [20:38] miketalanca: is there anything in BIOS that is locking the MBR? [20:38] miketalanca: error messages are a wonderful thing [20:38] nicholas: i use k3b. sudo apt-get install k3b [20:38] rinaldi_: I have K3b installed and it said that it can't handle the bin file, it doesn't look like it supports them. [20:39] erawfish, scguy318: The error I am getting is error 15, no matter what I do. Super GRUB disc doesn't help either. I don't think anything in the BIOS is hindering me; I had it working two days ago but had to format because of the bad Xorg update. [20:39] nicholas: bin2iso, binchunker, etc [20:39] scguy318, mkquist, thanks. [20:40] nicholas: where did you get the bin? someone probably did a clone cd and there should be two other files. one is a .toc and is the table a contents and i forget what the other is [20:40] miketalanca: that BS. no one has to format due to a bad xorg update [20:40] can someone tell me how to burn a avi to dvd?

[21:22] barney-> nope, i was just suggesting to look into those [21:22] It's okay. Ima restore my FSB speed. I think that might be causing my disks to play up./ [21:22] i'll be back in a bit. [21:22] barney: You have an overclock? That would explain it. === JohnM_ is now known as JohnMM [21:22] barney: Definitely restore it. [21:23] MrObvious: it hasn't effected any problems thusfar. [21:23] Flamsmark: Are you in a live CD? I forget. [21:23] dumb question: i have files on my ubuntu desktop that have very long filenames, and it shows the whole thing, which makes the icon + filename take up like half my screen, vertically. can i limit the number of characters of filenames shown on the desktop? i've look all over for a setting, no luck [21:23] hobotroid: You could right click each one and push rename. [21:23] mrobvious, nope, i'm on a regular install that i've been using for a about a month [21:24] mrobvious: that's pretty silly, as i suspect you know. it's insane that it shows the whole filename in the first place [21:24] Grr I need something to fix lol. [21:25] Flamsmark: You might load a LiveCD and try rebooting here and putting the output of dmesg to a pastebin. I'm working on the dmesg part. Give me a second [21:25] hello [21:25] Flamsmark: Okay first mount your root partition, then go to /var/log and look at the file dmesg and paste it to a pastebin when you get to a LiveCD. [21:26] Flamsmark: After loading a LiveCD that is lol. [21:26] wats happenning [21:26] hello. when type sudo su,password,nautilus in terminal i get this message:(nautilus:8887): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: [21:26] Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. === GuestIrc is now known as ShaH === ShaH is now known as Maro [21:27] and the rest of error message:Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. [21:27] mrobvious - yes, it would be quite impressive if i could do it first. i'm booting now [21:27] yes [21:27] IndyGunFreak: they are all installed now [21:27] going to try it out [21:27] ok, [21:28] Flamsmark: If you push Places on the Gnome Taskbar and point to the disk it'll mount it automatically I think. Then just use Nautilus to navigate to the /var/log directory [21:28] Hello there, In windows, I changed firefox tab by using ctrl + numer, in ubuntu it's alt +number [21:28] how can I change it? [21:28] sorry disreguard the third post i made === Maro is now known as GuestIRC [21:28] danonura: I'm gonna guess you're trying a weird command thatwon't work. [21:28] that is weired IndyGunFreak: said searching for "codec" but none found [21:28] couldnt play the file format [21:28] hmm [21:28] danonura: What are you trying to do? [21:28] that was my plan, mrobvious :p [21:28] Hey, Would a restricted driver prevent me from accessing the internet? [21:29] let me restart the MOvie Player [21:29] ally_xoxo: i hav eno logical explanation, it plays for me. [21:29] nano_: Some bcm drivers are restricted, so it could for wi-fi. [21:29] nano_: it shouldn't [21:29] does anyone here use a HP Pavilion DV9xxx or knows which one works good with ubuntu? [21:29] JinRoh: i don't think it is possible, ctrl+# is reserved for the operating system [21:29] use nautilus to delete some files [21:29] I installed xawtv to use my webcam, and now VLC doesn't work, something about bad allocation of resources(worked fine before) [21:29] N E one know how to install avant window manager in feisty [21:29] danonura: As root? Which files? [21:29] nano_-> you are using that webmin again to manage your network?

I can get this to work on windows, but not with linux. Is there something I should check to see if the port is being blocked? I am using ubuntu 7.10 [21:31] scared of the installation process [21:31] due to my lack of understanding for unix [21:31] Jefo: Which laptop model in particular? [21:31] damn radio commericals IndyGunFreak [21:31] my DVD burner won't read CDs, so I want to make my UBS drive bootable [21:31] itunes doesnt have that :( [21:31] bkar: ??? whats a webmin anyway? [21:31] ally_xoxo: if you're interested, the ones linked here, play in rhythmbox by simply plugging in the URL for the station you want.. http://www.live365.com/index.live [21:31] let me login to my mac, and get the file format from there [21:31] ok let me try that too [21:31] danonura: Which files specifically? Usually if they are unpermitted they are system files. [21:31] MrObvious: any DV9... [21:31] concord-> get a cheap hard disk and install, you will be pleased of the experience and will learn a few things [21:32] some_dude: probably in bios. try changing the boot order to the drive [21:32] nano_-> its okay, you are back with same issues [21:32] Jefo: Try https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptopsHewlettPackard?highlight=%28laptop%29 [21:32] MrObvious: driver in question is ipw3945, do you know anything about it? [21:32] nano_: Nope. Try looking on ubuntuforums.org [21:32] concord: the learning curve is very gentle - there really isn't one. it takes less time to learn linux than any other os i've used [21:33] dman : I have to get the files onto the drive first [21:33] IndyGunFreak: like this "http://www.1.fm/Stations/Top40/TuneIn.aspx" ? [21:33] where can I get a 3D desktop theme?? [21:33] i recovered alot of files with testdisk and it saved to a folder in /home named after the name i chose for this computer, at the install of ubuntu [21:33] ally_xoxo: no, i coudln't get that one you linked to, to work in rhytmbox [21:33] MrObvious: there's not one DV9xxx in that list [21:33] erider, what theme? [21:33] some_dude: you need to burn an image to a cd? [21:33] I want to install from my USB drive [21:34] yeah [21:34] danonura: So it's in your home directory? [21:34] its weird [21:34] dman : my burner won't read CDs [21:34] <[tla]> Hi. I'm running Gibbon under VirtualBox on Windoze XP (Fujitsu-Siemens S7110 laptop). I can't set the screen resolution to anything higher than 800x600. Is there any way to do this within VirtualBox/Ubuntu? The laptop gfx chipset is Intel 945GM but Unbuntu only sees "VirtualBox Graphics Adapter" in the hardware info. Is there some way I can get 1024x768 without a native Ubuntu install? [21:34] i was talking about this one... http://www.live365.com/index.live [21:34] MrObvious: i'm very new to linux and i couldn't seem to get testdisk to save anywhere else [21:34] MrObvious:yes [21:34] some_dude: if you have a spare writable dvd there are dvd images of ubuntu [21:34] so i want to burn the iso image to a usb stick [21:35] some_dude: ok, i see. 1 second [21:35] danonura: Try sudo chown -R username.username /home/path/to/files replacing username with your username and /path/to/files to where the files are (obviously). [21:35] bardyr, which every I just want a 3d feel like: http://ubuntusatanic.org/screenshots/inhuman2.jpg [21:35] okay mrobvious, after a brief delay, it's pasted at 52688 [21:35] Flamsmark: Link? [21:35] ally_xoxo: i was referring to that other link i sent you.. http://www.live365.com/index.live [21:36] MrObvious:ok thanks [21:36] oh ok [21:36] [tla]-> i believe those are the limitations of emulators/virtual machines..they can only provide you with certain rez, interface cards, not the latest stuff... [21:36] danonura: YW. Let me know if it works. [21:36] well no luck, i was just on my Apple [21:36] cant get any info on the radio station [21:36] ok. [21:36] no url or ip or anything [21:37] and to make life harder, I'm running XP [21:37] ally_xoxo: those should play on live365.com, should work fine in Rythmbox [21:37] mrobvious http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52688 [21:37] <[tla]> bkar: ok, i guessed as much. was worth a final shot here though :^) [21:37] live365.com? [21:37] ally_xoxo: http://www.live365.com/ [21:37] yes im checking it out right now [21:38] can the livecd create an ntfs partition? [21:38] ok..lol [21:38] ally_xoxo: Try http://www.byuradio.org/streaming/linux.asp (only don't download apt-get obviously lol). [21:38] haha :) [21:38] intardnet-> i believe the 7.10 can, it has the ntfs-3g drivers [21:39] bkar: do i need to install those, because I'm not seeing the ntfs option in the partition manager [21:39] intardnet-> partition magic? isnt that windows? [21:39] oops my eyes.. [21:39] Flamsmark: I don't see anything odd. Hmm. [21:39] MrObvious: I'm currently viewing the file '/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules' , does it matter if my wireless driver is named eth0 or eth1? [21:40] live365 doesnt have my stations :( [21:40] nano_: No, but don't get it confused with your ethernet. Mine is eth1 [21:40] mrobvious, do you see evidence of a failed boot attempt? [21:40] MrObvious: Ok [21:40] bkar: nope, im being forced to use ntfs, not partition magic ;-) [21:40] ally_xoxo: oh ok. [21:40] but thanks anyways IndyGunFreak [21:40] Flamsmark: I wish I knew what to try. My guess is seriously hardware. :( [21:40] ally_xoxo: no prob.. [21:40] right now atm, Movie Player is working from the 1.fm radio site [21:40] some_dude: all of the solutions i've found use linux, not xp [21:41] Flamsmark: Maybe someone else might have an idea. [21:41] is there any other apps that do this better? [21:41] bardyr, which every I just want a 3d feel like [21:41] radio music steaming [21:41] Flamsmark: You could try running the built in memtest. [21:41] intardnet-> force on you? you cant necessarily install linux on ntfs eh? [21:41] ally_xoxo: i've use songbird, but not for streaming radio. [21:41] dman : I can probely fake it, the drive is already linux bootable. [21:41] hi [21:41] bkar: its a "switch" partition so windows and linux can read/write files that the other can read/write [21:41] I'm trying to get this new iso to boot, and it's not the same [21:41] Scubar: Oh no not you again! [21:42] lol [21:42] hmmm i might try and give that a spin [21:42] lol [21:42] yea me again [21:42] just got done installin [21:42] mrobvious, that sounds like a hassle [21:42] intardnet-> you can try i guess...and til us how it goes [21:42] bkar: i can use fat32, but the committee (design by committee anyone?) decided to try ntfs [21:42] mrobvious, i think i'll just try a fresh install [21:42] KDE4 is pretty cool btw [21:42] ally_xoxo: http://www.songbirdnest.com/ [21:42] Flamsmark: Well at least you can back up your data now. [21:42] how to make mpd to suppert m4a files ? [21:42] hello does anyone know how to fix the problem that the latest update caused? [21:42] some_dude: success! check here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [21:42] bkar: linux is going on its own ext3 fs === victoryemulator is now known as m0hitkumar [21:43] ok nm just read the topic :) [21:43] Flamsmark: Using the LiveCD and Gparted you can copy data if you resize and make a new partition or something. [21:43] thanks IndyGunFreak :P [21:43] french ? [21:43] Hey, I get the following error with squid : Cannot request non-HTTP URL file:/// Is there a way I can get it to accept non-HTTP requests .. ?

I just turned off a system configuration item (System-dbus something) and now when I run services, it won't load... [21:44] [21:44] I'm trying to get kde4 [21:44] some_dude: There's a link in #kubuntu-kde4 [21:44] It says "The System Configuration Could not be loaded" (You are not allowed to acess the system configuration). [21:44] some_dude: It's pretty but lacks basics so I'd wait till 4.1 in July. [21:44] MrObvious: i typed into terminal and then it prompts for pw and then it goes to command line [21:45] no browser pops up [21:45] mrobvious - yep, i'm not totally clueless, i was just hoping that i wouldn't have to bother with resetting all me settings. i'm just going to copy home onto a usb drive and reinstall [21:45] some_dude: did you see the link i posted? here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent go down [21:45] danonura: Then it should be done. Try nautilus now as a normal user. [21:45] MrObvious : can I have 3 and 4 ? [21:45] ah ok [21:46] dman : I'm reading it now [21:46] ally_xoxo: in case you're not good at compiling software.. here's the ubuntu .deb file http://www.getdeb.net/app/Songbird [21:46] some_dude: Yup. I do now. sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop then after it installs it'll let you choose the default dm (gdm/kdm) and then it'll install fine. After that then add the repo in the link in /topic in #kubuntu-kde4 and then install KDE4 as instructed. [21:46] IndyGunFreak: You don't need to compile Songbird. [21:46] MrObvious: i then typed [21:47] MrObvious: i know, thast what i was telling her. [21:47] Hello! I am installing Ubuntu 7,1 using the LiveCD with a ATI Radeon 9200 and LG 204 WT, but the display is only occupying 2/3 the width of the screen? How can I correct this?

My family currently sends large attachments via email to relatives, and it really bogs down our network. What I want to do is have them place the files on a server so they can post it to our website. Problem is, we dont want just anyone grabbing our files so we want to be able to set up an account for... [21:51] ...each file. I was looking at OpenKM, but anyone have any tips for me? [21:51] or sudo -i ? [21:51] Sorry for the wall of text >< [21:51] danonura: sudo -i is better for that [21:51] hello Deluge isnt starting for me since the updates [21:51] Flamsmark, read the chown manuall "man chown" for more info [21:51] danonura: just use sudo, no need for sudo [21:51] *su [21:52] !su | danonura [21:52] danonura: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

Is there any tutorial how to install linux driver for that ? [21:53] gotta go all... [21:54] bbl have to vgo to store [21:54] some_dude: can you re-download?

Is there a way to stop GRUB from running after hibernating Ubuntu, so it goes straight to the Ubuntu partition instead of asking me? [21:57] can someone post a link for the current repository for e17 [21:58] also has anyone been able to boot with vista [21:58] dual boot [21:58] well [21:58] I'm going to give it a go [21:58] djzn: jim_beam tons of people have [21:58] J337 set a defaut time in grub [21:58] jim_beam, i haven't..but i know it can be done [21:58] why would you want to dual boot with vista? [21:59] Kobaka, why not [21:59] zoom: do you mean the timer before the default option is selected? [21:59] yes example 5s [22:00] B-rabbit, well i would think anyone who runs linux would think that vista sucks hard. [22:00] i use bcdedit neogrub in microsoft --- hd0=vista hd1=xp hd2=ubuntu all were setup as primary it worked for a long time and something changed cant do it anymore is athere an alternative [22:00] does anyone here use mkudffs? [22:00] after 5s it ll start ubuntu [22:00] its segfaulting here [22:01] zoom: that's not what I want...I want Ubuntu to *always* run if it was hibernated without ever presenting that screen. The danger is if I hibernate Ubuntu but then run XP the next time I boot, it'll corrupt my shared drives. So I want Ubuntu to skip GRUB completely, like the Windows bootloader does if XP is hibernated [22:01] sudo mkudffs --media-type=dvd /dev/pktcdvd/pktcdvd0 [22:01] hey IndyGunFreak: is there anyway to get the "title" of the song to display on Movie Player?

If so where could I find the file? Somewhere in the source directory? Tmp folder? I've checked and kind find it/them anywhere [22:09] zoom: the problem is that my Windows and Ubuntu partitions share an NTFS drive. That drive seems to be "locked" if one partition hibernates, say Ubuntu, and then if XP tries to write to it, the changes are going to corrupt it when I return to Ubuntu. [22:09] zoom: I learned that the hard way :( [22:09] But get the error: make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. [22:10] yea im searching but the instructions are only in english xD and im french so its bit hard [22:10] :) [22:10] alanbshepard70: they will be everywhere in the make tree, and not installing them all might cause problems unless it's a really simple app [22:10] alanbshepard70, I think you can look inside the Makefile itself or search around subdirectories for the binary [22:11] is there a way to limit the download speed of apt? [22:11] techgeek40: then either you're supposed to move the single binary around yourself, or the makefile is broken [22:11] Does anyone know how to make the resolution on my TV higher than 1024x768? [22:11] nickrud: Duke_Fluke: Ok I'm checking, thanks. [22:11] alanbshepard70, np :) [22:11] jack-desktop, gfx card?

[22:13] you need 1280x1024 to survive these days [22:13] tripe: Good graphics cards can be used for things that are not FPS games. [22:13] it should be possible but .... [22:13] tripe, what is the point in the game vendors not supporting linux [22:13] k [22:13] is that a trick question bardyr [22:13] what is a good graphic card that works with linux? [22:13] <-- doesnt know anyting about linux [22:13] ati or nvidia? [22:13] nvidia [22:13] i setup a network profile and everytime i boot-up i cant make it default [22:13] alison: nvidia is the better bet at this point. [22:13] bardyr: yes, you would configure the http settings in apt.conf, see /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/configure-index.gz for the syntax (look for DL-limit [22:14] any progress for ati? [22:14] how can i kill al processes that i am not currently using [22:14] alison, intel is best then nvidia but in a couple of years i would say ATI [22:14] when is linux gonna have the support for the games [22:14] proper support [22:14] lately my system is running like crap [22:14] does amd64 bit give problems for linux? [22:14] alison: Actually, Intel is the better bet, but if you need massive fast 3D, nvidia is. [22:14] alison: nope [22:14] tripe: when the user base becomes large enough to be profitable [22:14] yeah [22:14] SLI Technology! [22:14] k [22:14] tripe, when the game makers support linux [22:14] tripe: The games need to support Linux, not the other way around.

[22:16] adub: you can look thru /etc/rc2.d and check for stuff that you don't need, but be sure you don't need it. [22:16] my system is so bogged down [22:16] bardyr, is this true? [22:16] nickrud [22:16] i broke my ubuntu!

The only thing i have access too is failsafe terminal [22:18] i just did apt-get install htop [22:19] htop is pretty neat [22:19] EADG something is slowing me down bad [22:19] adub: the && was just to run htop right after the install, no biggie. [22:19] EADG thanks for the heads up [22:19] any soccer fans here? [22:19] EADG maybe you can help me i dont want to mess up and kill something i need [22:19] I'm having issues with my USB drive, it has three partitions all formatted as HSF+, `mount` gives me, /dev/sde12 on /media/Akeru type hfsplus (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000) but when I try to make changes (i.e. create a directory) and it says: mkdir: cannot create directory `sekhmet': Read-only file system [22:20] does xchat support FiSH Encryption?

[22:21] adub: no, that's an installed program [22:21] oh what the heck does it do [22:22] i dont even know what it does but its eating my processor more than antyhing else [22:22] adub: in HTop hit F6 "sort by" then hightlight CPU. [22:22] can someone point me to a good tut for dual boot Ubuntu on a real Mac? I have a macbook pro with ubuntu inside VMware Fusion already [22:22] ok [22:22] adub: http://www.tracker-project.org [22:22] EADG i did that [22:22] <^blade73^debian> ciao a tutti [22:23] adub: it's sort of similar to Google Desktop [22:23] i have two of that process combined eating 30% of my processor [22:23] Duke_Fluke: it looks like, *maybe* mount -o remount rw /media/Akeru would do it? [22:23] can i remove it [22:23] Ugg, trackerd, isn't that the new version of gamserver... [22:23] Davey, I understand but I meant doing it manually, first try umounting it with umount /dev/sde12 the manually remount it with....yeah thats it :) [22:23] how can i make the login window menu appear in my system->administration menu?

Better leave it in. [22:26] nortcelE in terminal type rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [22:26] EADG what do you mean its collecting info on my files [22:26] simion314: ctl-alt-f2, login, sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop , do your stuff, sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start to restart X [22:26] Duke_Fluke: gonna reboot, see if it brings up the drive in r/w [22:26] adub: Not sure how you will totally kill it, stop the deamon, but I don't know much about that. [22:26] nickrud_: where did you come across this program? [22:26] Davey, good luck :) [22:27] adub: it's to make searching for a file(s) easier. [22:27] tritium: in the startup tab of sessions. Was checking for tracker there for adub [22:27] Duke_Fluke: I'm just hoping it comes back up, I'm trying to backup my RAID which has issues :/ [22:27] * Davey notes the RAID *was* the backup [22:27] adub: From the website : Tracker is a tool designed to extract information and metadata about your personal data so that it can be searched easily and quickly.

[22:28] i replaced partition, and GRUB still gives me error 17. if i re-install will i lose all my downloads and packages installed, if i choose to import my last account name ? [22:28] Duke_Fluke: over 802.11b :( [22:28] Davey, is it an external or internal drive? [22:28] the RAID is internal, and my other machine is a laptop :/ [22:28] anyone know if removing restricted manager removes installed video drivers? or is there an easier way? [22:28] Davey: who are you... :/ [22:29] Daviey: I am me. :P [22:29] so the hfs+ is on the raid?

Then if that fails, ps -A | grep gdm [22:55] to a windows computer [22:55] odinsbane: hmm somehow the automount function must not be working [22:56] @preaction: I run a dedicated web server, and I'm going to be hosting a couple of people on the side, so I want them to have site access without being able to muck around [22:56] m0u5e the automount is funny for me. It only does it if something happens [22:56] mikkel_, what do you mean by "muck around?" you can remove the execute bits from their users, but they probably shouldn't have shell access unless you have a very good reason to give them shell access [22:57] nickrud_: I did kill ps# of X - and it brought me to log in screen [22:57] Ie, if I open it with a file manager [22:57] I have heard that Ubuntu wears out hard drives much faster than windows by running very long reads from the drive. I noticed that when playing a video file from the hard drive for example, the hard drive light flashes almost constantly so I am worried. Can anyone confirm this problem? [22:57] mikkel_, set up an FTP server and let them use that [22:57] mirdin76: ps -A | grep gdm will not start a gdm, you didn't have the pipe (vertical bar) [22:57] anyone on gusty and uses ipod + firewire, sometimes it works me sometimes it doesnt =\ [22:57] is that a known bug? [22:57] hey homies. can anyone tell me how i can dl a large file yo my hd, while on livecd.? [22:57] meanwhile connected via usb it always works flawlessly [22:58] jimmy__, i can confirm that your fears are unfounded. when reading a file from the hard drive, one must read the file from the hard drive (hence the light) [22:58] nickrud_: 2 gdm running [22:58] @preaction: I don't know a lot about server setup/admin, but I know you can access the server via ftp using the creds of a user on the system, and that's the only way I know how to add a user to the ftp [22:58] mirdin76 killall gdm [22:58] adrock358-> install work okay now? [22:59] Hello! I'm having trouble connecting to last.fm with amarok. I get this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52697/ I have already double-check to make sure my username and password are correct. Thanks for your help! [22:59] nickrud. i can only use wireless from livecd, and i want to dl the alt cd to try that for drivers. do you know how i can dl a file (ubuntu alternate) to my hd, while using LiveCD? [22:59] nickrud_: sorry that earlier was - I did kill the process number of /etc/bin/X and it brought me to a log in screen [22:59] what are the default font sizes? [22:59] sure i understand that but windows stores a lot of the file in ram doesn't it? [22:59] for gnome [22:59] bkar read nickrus msg [22:59] mirdin76: yes, you still have gdm running. kill it [22:59] mikkel_, yes, but as a normal user they don't have privileges to write to anywhere besides their home directory. that's what you want. FTP doesn't allow them to execute any programs [22:59] nickrud_: killed [22:59] I am looking for scripting help for the problem described in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52701/ [22:59] adrock358-> i dont have a scroll back feature [22:59] adrock358: sure, mount the drive you want and save it there [23:00] can i get some instructions? [23:00] I guess I'm just asking really if Ubuntu has been specifically known to breask hard drives faster [23:00] to mount? [23:00] jimmy__, uhm... no. from what I understand, the linux kernel is more efficient at using RAM for file cache. but it still must be read from the hard drive and put into the file cache [23:00] mirdin76: now try your nvidia thing [23:00] before i fall asleep [23:00] from being so tired... [23:00] @preaction: but with the way I've been doing it they have shell access as well as ftp, and I just tested with one of the new users and could at least run cat on other users' files, which means my php sources are viewable [23:00] adrock358-> since you are on liveCd now, visit /etc/network/interfaces and see how it is configured for wireless [23:01] adrock358: roughly: mount /dev/sda1 -t ntfs-3g /mnt , assuming windows is on the first partition and that's where you want the file. [23:01] nickrud_: ps aux | grep X shows xserverrc [Xorg] defunct running [23:01] If I use wget to download part of a website, can I use it again later to download the rest of the website? [23:01] @preaction: also, some of my installed PHP apps (like SMF) require chmod 666/777 on certain directories/files [23:01] "..to break hard drives faster" sorry [23:01] nickrud ubuntu is on the 1st part. [23:01] mirdin76: I don't know how you got in that pickle, and the only way I know to remove a defunct process is to reboot [23:01] Andrew23-> wget -r [23:02] nickrud_: ok thanks [23:02] in other words, if I use the same wget command twice, will it pick up where it left off or will it start over? [23:02] does anyone use DAR to backup here? [23:02] mikkel_, probably because those files have the world-readable bit set. chmod o-r yourfile. [23:02] adrock358: and is that where you want to save it? [23:02] yah === Goots is now known as G_Linux [23:02] Is there an especially good wireless router for use with Ubuntu and WPA? [23:02] nickrud didn't work only root can do that [23:02] mikkel_, the only reason they require those things is they assume that the apache server can only see those files/directorys by using the world bits. if you can make it use the group bits (by forcing all files to be in the same group as the apache user), then you don't have to worry [23:02] bkar: Yes, I'm using -r. But I don't think I could download the whole page in one day. [23:03] Will it pick up where it left off if I use the same command tomorrow? === [tla]_ is now known as [tla] [23:03] [tap tap tap] is this thing on? [23:03] Andrew23-> if the site is dynamically generated, you will not get same infos [23:03] adrock358: mount /dev/sda1 -o user -t ext3 /mnt , I think that will work [23:04] @preaction: okay, I can do that easily enough. I can't create an ftp user without giving them a corresponding shell account, and denying them any ftp access at all to folders outside ~? [23:04] mikkel_, but still, giving shell access is a bad idea. and i believe most FTP servers allow you to lock users into their /home directory [23:04] Ya des Franchais ichi? [23:04] Is there any way to get a different wallpaper on each virtual desktop using Ubuntu Gutsy? [23:04] bkar i'm just going to dl alt cd and use that. do you know how i mount my drive so i can save a file to it? [23:04] bkar: It's a database of sacred texts, the content doesn't change very often but new content is added occaisionally. [23:04] Can someone help me install firestarter? [23:05] so I need some expert help about mounting an unsupported raid drive in ubuntu... should I start here or the forums or just give up? [23:05] Lifeisfunny, sudo apt-get install firestarter <- no muss. no fuss. no bother [23:05] adrock358-> mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt [23:05] adrock358: which didn't work, the ntfs-3g thing? I need more info === wedson is now known as arjuna [23:05] preaction, do I need to reboot? === arjuna is now known as arjuna-astral [23:05] Lifeisfunny, no. [23:05] can anyone help me with some fsck errors? [23:05] @preaction: haha, okay... does ubuntu server have an ftp server installed by default? this is my first time running a linux server... well, linux anything... so I set everything up by following online tutorials, but I don't remember setting up an ftp server [23:05] bkar mount: only root can do that [23:05] like this one? "Error reading block 1146976 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while doing inode scan." [23:05] adrock358: you use sudo with mount, I've seen you enough here I thought you already understood that [23:06] adrock358-> then be as root, [23:06] oh god that's it i give up [23:06] mikkel_, yes. you can create their user without a shell by assigning them the shell "/sbin/nologin" or "/bin/false" (one of those two should exist), then they can't ssh in even if you're running a ssh server. in fact, they can't even login if sitting at the computer === zezom_ is now known as zezom [23:06] mirdin76: try booting into recovery mode, there's no way X will be running [23:06] mirdin76-> you'll be back you know it..lol [23:06] preaction, really? cause I did that command after having found it in the help file and went to grc.com and it said I still have ports open [23:06] nice i mounted it [23:06] mikkel_, no. no ftp server by default [23:06] ha ha [23:06] Hola [23:06] hihi [23:07] Lifeisfunny, you need to run firestarter in order to configure your firewall. firestarter is a tool to configure iptables, iptables always exists. [23:07] !ftpd | mikkel_ [23:07] im having a problem booting from the livecd. It gets to unloading kernel, ok.... then the 2nd screen pops up and i get to mountin such and such and it freezes, its the second thing that happeneds once u get to the 2nd screen. [23:07] mikkel_: FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd, MuddleFTPd, wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: PureAdmin, GProftpd (for GNOME), KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP [23:07] preaction, I can't get the firestarter gui to open up either from System/Administration [23:07] am i going insane, or is there genuinely no encryption option on the gutsy disk? [23:07] nickrud it worked but i don't see my disk [23:07] On the desktops that I have 3d affects enabled on I can't re-size any windows. Is this a known issue? And how can I solve it? [23:07] @preaction: okay, that works fine. there must be some server running for it to work... the important thing is it works I guess, haha [23:07] So if I somehow manage to download the whole website today using "wget -r http://www.sacred-texts.com" and they add new content overnight, the next day I can type "wget -r http://www.sacred-texts.com" the next day and it will pick up where it left off? [23:07] adrock358: it'll be on /mnt , navigate there [23:08] Lifeisfunny, open a terminal and type "gksudo firestarter" and try from there [23:08] (firestarter:6100): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: [23:08] No protocol specified [23:08] is it possible to download and use one of the ubuntu installers from within a livecd? === pras__ is now known as bsdrulez [23:08] guys , have a problem , cannot minimize and maximize using mouse button ....

[23:08] hola buenas tardes [23:09] Andrew23-> per my experience yes...i cant guarantee if same results for you [23:09] nickrud no it's not [23:09] Lifeisfunny, you're not running X are you [23:09] guys , have a problem , cannot minimize and maximize using mouse button .... [23:09] adrock358: then it didn't work [23:09] X? [23:09] is there a wifi forum around this server? [23:09] Hi... I cant access another tty... freezes my screen ... but I can get back my X on tty7 ...whats happening with my video? [23:09] how can I tell? [23:09] How can I configure the side buttons for my mouse? [23:09] @preaction: how do I go about changing a user's shell? su to that user and run chsh? [23:09] adrock358: now, I've said a couple of things, you haven't really made it clear what you've done [23:09] Flamsmark-> which alternative installer are you referring to in liveCD? [23:09] according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on /mnt [23:10] Lifeisfunny, ... uhm... do you have a desktop environment? Xorg provides the GUI / Windows-like thingy. [23:10] nickrud according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on /mnt [23:10] anyone know anything on hardware/live cd stuff? [23:10] adrock358: yes, that's where I told you to mount it. So, open the file manager and go to /mnt [23:10] hey_joe: I don't think freenode has any channels specificly for wireless networking [23:10] I have a desktop yes [23:10] mikkel_, no. as root you can use usermod [23:10] Gamma-X-> what are you looking for? [23:10] the compiz-fusion too [23:10] adrock358: or in a terminal type cd /mnt [23:10] or rather, anyone know what the name of the context menu is? I'm trying to tie an animation in with clicking a context menu option but am having a hard time with findign it's name :/ [23:10] nickrud yah i did but i don't my disk dude [23:10] corinth: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto [23:10] bkar ill repost [23:10] im having a problem booting from the livecd. It gets to unloading kernel, ok.... then the 2nd screen pops up and i get to mountin such and such and it freezes, its the second thing that happeneds once u get to the 2nd screen. [23:11] adrock358: if mount says it's on /mnt , it is. Are you looking in /media ? [23:11] @preaction: ah, got it in man... perfect! thanks for the help [23:11] and then it freezes [23:11] tanath: Thanks :-) [23:11] np [23:11] Gamma-X-> have you tried the low rez boot? maybe it can not handle your video..try that first [23:11] bkar - the one listed as the alternate installer on http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/710rc, under 'encrypted hard disks' [23:11] corinth: might try google next time ;) [23:12] wait ...mnt is the drive [23:12] Next question: Is there a way in Gnome to video chat with my msn contacts? I've tried Kopete, but it crashes. [23:12] tanath: I did, just not very good at searching :P [23:12] corinth: amsn [23:12] bkar: Thanks for your help. [23:12] Flamsmark-> is that supposed to be already in the liveCD? [23:12] nickrud right? mnt IS the drive [23:12] preaction, chatting from XChat, have wallpaper, the gnome-panel, seems to be "the whole nine yards" [23:12] adrock358: yes [23:12] nickrud no disk icon or anything [23:12] bkar i tried doing doing that and even switched video cards. wont do it. [23:12] nickru gotcha [23:12] corinth: i put 'ubuntu side mouse buttons' and found plenty of useful stuff, including that one [23:12] bkar tried a differant motherboard 2 [23:12] tanath: I've also tried amsn, the one in the add/remove tool. It won't connect for me. [23:12] Lifeisfunny, that error only happens when X is not running or can't be detected. try just "firestarter" without gksudo [23:12] Hi... I cant access another tty... freezes my screen ... but I can get back my X on tty7 ...whats happening with my video? [23:13] Lifeisfunny, if that fails, you might want to try logging out and logging back in [23:13] hi [23:13] adrock358: not going to be, it's not in /media . temporary mounts go on /mnt [23:13] corinth: weird. worked for me [23:13] bkar, basically, i want to encrypt my disk, and the graphical installer that i have doesn't seem to have that option. so i conclude that the installer that i want is not the one i have, and am curious to see if i can install it without spending a cd [23:13] Gamma-X-> umm i dont know what to tell yah, [23:13] corinth: maybe seek help on the amsn channel [23:13] Thanks. [23:13] Flamsmark-> let me read that link first..im not aware of any other installler in liveCD [23:13] bkar, furthermore, according to http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download, 'Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer.' [23:13] bkar who should I ask? [23:13] Is there anyway I can make a keybindings issue another key press [23:14] This is where I ask questions, right? [23:14] preaction, I get a separate gtk window that opens telling me I don't have sufficient privileges [23:14] I want to make my Super-V paste [23:14] hi, is it possible to install visual basic on my machine?

I had to change the option from VGA to 1024x768 x32 on the boot screen from the cd though to make it work properly.

[23:18] Lifeisfunny, try: 'xhost local:root; gksudo firestarter' [23:18] yes, with gksudo [23:18] Flamsmark-> you have to have a way to get the alternate installer into the liveCD..ie remaster your liveCD [23:18] there it is [23:19] Lifeisfunny: strange, usually that error carries over to all gui apps [23:19] Lifeisfunny, uhm... okay. then i'm stumped. i don't know why what i said works, as it should be the same for all gui apps.

[23:30] misslecommander: no [23:30] thank you [23:31] i will let you know, i know how to recover, but didnt want to go through it more than i had to [23:31] be back later [23:31] What do I type in menu.lst to have ubuntu not boot in VGA? [23:31] I need some help, I am trying do write a image of the server ver. of ubuntu but my image writer doesn't work, it had worked in the past. I use: Active ISO burner, any help? [23:31] my hard drive errors are messing up my system. can anyone help me with them? [23:31] I have windows installed on /dev/sda1 and linux installed on /dev/sdb1. When I select windows from the grub menu it stalls at 'GRUB Loading stage2... Press 'ESC' to enter the menu. How can I access my windows partition? [23:31] tanath, you may need to run fsck in recovery mode [23:32] Starnestommy: i'm running it from a live disc now [23:32] Starnestommy: er, have been, but no one's helping with the output [23:32] hi, im trying to compile something and I get this error "/usr/share/qt3/bin/uic ui/main.ui -o ui/main.h [23:32] uic: File generated with too recent version of Qt Designer (4.0 vs. 3.3.7)" how do i get around it? [23:32] Starnestommy: http://pastebin.ca/865259 [23:33] tanath, have you tried telling it ti ignore the errors in fsck? [23:33] *to [23:33] Starnestommy: uh, how will that get them fixed? [23:33] Starnestommy: yeah, it just... ignores them, lol [23:33] tanath, on that last one, it mentioned forcing a rewrite [23:33] Anyone, I have the /boot/grub/menu.lst open, I need to not boot in VGA, I do not know what to type. [23:34] Starnestommy: but when i run it again, they're still there. see output [23:34] hi, I have a question about PEERDNS and DHCP. Can some one help please ? [23:34] LjL: Is Nickrud Online? [23:34] Hello. So, I had a bootable system, on a bunch of RAID devices. For reasons that are best avoided these drives have now changed IDE channels. How do I make my system bootable again? I've got a desktop CD so I can mount the drives by hand and edit files. [23:34] Starnestommy: er, yeah. sorry [23:34] jnj [23:34] can someone please explain me how the aptitude score numbers are calculated and what do they mean? [23:34] hi, i havent used linux in quite some time. i have been told that ntfs write support works without problems under ubuntu 7.10. is this correct? [23:35] yes i can [23:35] thc11 yep [23:35] thc11, that's correct [23:35] cool, thx [23:35] alex_mayorga: i tried to find that out once... i'm not sure anyone knows, lol. they're just an indicator of what it thinks is prolly best anyway [23:35] ciao [23:35] tanath, bigger numbers are better or worse? [23:35] Hi? Is there any risk in connecting TO SSH server? [23:36] alex_mayorga: whether your adding or removing apps affects the score. removing more apps than adding seems to put it in negatives, so i think bigger is 'better' [23:36] PriitM_: In what way, risk? [23:36] PriitM_, yup man in the middle attack [23:36] PriitM_, no, unless you're not connecting to the server you think you're connecting to [23:36] but that's solved by keeping SSH keys and ssh will warn you if the key has changed [23:36] If I add additional domain names to the 'search' line in /etc/resolv.conf, how can I make sure they persist on network restart ? [23:36] how do i access mutltimedia settings in gutsy? i have auzen x fi. i'd google all this but i'm moving files as the hd is too full and browser can't won't run(firefox).thanks [23:36] anyone know how often ubuntu restricted drivers manager gets updated with new drivers? [23:37] I'm trying to compile the latest PDFedit. I'm having a problem distinguishing the needed libraries mentioned in the "Read Me" against the file names in Synaptic. Read Me shows Make sure you have all needed libraries (qt3, boost and xlib) along with their [23:37] headers. [23:37] PriitM_, preaction is tellin the truth dude [23:37] Basicly my internet friend asked me to try out his SSH server and I was wondering if it could be risky :p [23:37] suka2, they stay in /etc/resolv.conf [23:37] alex_mayorga: it's really up to you what you want though. just make sure you always have at the very least the ubuntu-minimal package installed, and you'll be ok [23:37] PriitM_, as long as you verify the SSH key, you'll be fine [23:37] PriitM_, it can be if you don't use keys [23:37] ok many thanks [23:37] preaction: I use DHCP and /etc/resolv.conf seems to get overwritten about once a day or so [23:37] PriitM_: Well, the connection isn't generally dangerous, but it'll give away your IP to him. [23:38] PriitM_, plus with keys you don't have to type a password! [23:38] Is there a way I can find the window title of the focused window from the command line [23:38] On Fedora Core 6, I used to set PEERDNS=n to preserve the entries [23:38] there's a new OSS speech recognition project called simon that is in 0.1 alpha. I'm trying to compile it and am getting a bunch of errors... anyone interested in building a .deb? http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=190872 [23:38] What are backport repositories for - more recent versions of software? [23:38] suka2, that's what DHCP does, in addition to editing the routing table. if you stop using DHCP, you don't have to worry anymore [23:38] I'm trying to enable a second monitor and under 'Screens and Graphics' 'Secondary Screen' radio buttons are grayed out. Is there an advanced way of enabled this ? [23:38] And of course anything you do on the remote system could be monitored, so if you're going to do stuff on it you might not want to do anything involving passwords. [23:38] SmileyChris, yep [23:38] I'm using router and I got only few ports forwarded and no services(ssh, apache etc) running [23:38] SmileyChris, basically [23:38] Hello. I'm looking for an audio player that can do the following: When skipping to the next track (manually) I want the current track to fade out in 500 ms. Any idea? [23:39] can anyone help me? I have a problem with my ISO burner [23:39] SmileyChris: they're newer apps packages for older releases [23:39] tanath, I was just trying to install kubuntu on top of my ubuntu and got scared because it wanted to remove a bunch of language-packs, then saw the score [23:39] hello? [23:39] chickin specifically? [23:39] preaction: unfortunately, I have to use dhcp :-( But on Fedora Core 6 setting PEERDNS=n used to preserve my domains [23:39] anyone use a powerbook G4 [23:39] I'm trying to mount a fakeraid drive thats on a ULi M5288 controller, but getting nowhere. Any ideas? [23:39] cool, so if I want to use a backport repo, do I just add it in and it'll use that rather than the base ubuntu repos for newer stuff? [23:39] Hey, coul you guys help me with Xubuntu installation, the xubuntu channel is not really active right now [23:39] preaction: is there something equivalent in Ubuntu ? [23:39] xenthro; i use Active ISO burner [23:39] alex_mayorga: well, if you end up removing something you want, you can always reinstall it after, and it will install any dependencies automatically [23:40] suka2, dunno [23:40] I downloaded this VIA display driver and I don't have a clue on how to install it, it ends in .run [23:40] xenthro it gives me the error that is doen't know what is wrong :/ [23:40] chickin just to be clear, you are tring to burn an iso image to cd? [23:40] very odd [23:40] yes, sorry [23:40] preaction: ok. thx [23:40] chickin what ubuntu version are you running? [23:41] I'm trying to enable a second monitor and under 'Screens and Graphics' 'Secondary Screen' radio buttons are grayed out. Is there an advanced way of enabled this ? [23:41] alex_mayorga: you should be able to have gnome and kde simultaneously, or you can switch from one to the other like you seem to be doing. it should be ok [23:41] xenthro I am running windows and im downloeding it for an other comp. [23:41] guys how do i install drivers in xubuntu? [23:42] can someone tell me gui iso mounter software? [23:42] lod_: gmount [23:42] 10x [23:42] chickin ahh... i bet this is a software problem. get different burning softawre [23:42] HipShot: wrong channel go to #xubuntu [23:43] rinaldi_, no, it's the same in both [23:43] the xubuntu channel is dead though [23:43] is there a ubuntu channel specific to amd64? [23:43] there's no activity [23:43] chickin like a trial edition of nero or there is "SEBurner" which is free and I have used before [23:43] is there a faster way to copy file from 1 hard drive to another (same machine) than just cp? [23:43] xenthro I would but i don't know any free software :( the only thing i've found is the Active thing [23:43] HipShot, you need to be clearer, different drivers require different methods [23:43] xenthro ah! thank you! [23:43] I downloaded this VIA driver package from viaarena, and i unarchived and it ends in a .run extension [23:44] Delphinus, not really, unless you are talking about incremental backups in which case rsync might be helpful [23:44] tanath, i'll take the plunge and see how it goes [23:44] HipShot: run 'chmod +x filename' then './filename' [23:44] bruenig: nah just dumping a whole lot of files (60gig) from 1 drive to another [23:44] xenthro my computer may have come w/ nero, I don't think but I didn't know it burned ISo's thanks! [23:44] bkar how do i save a file to a mounted drive while using livecd. i can't access the mnt file from firefox to save a file. i'm trying to save the alternate cd because that has driveers for my wireless card... [23:45] chickin: you're looking for something to burn isos with? [23:45] ubuntu runs with the minimal graphic modality [23:45] what I have to do_ [23:45] Hello. So, I had a bootable system, on a bunch of RAID devices. For reasons that are best avoided these drives have now changed IDE channels. How do I make my system bootable again? I've got a desktop CD so I can mount the drives by hand and edit files. [23:45] chickin every single burning app that has been created in... the last 10 years... should have it as basic functionality [23:45] #kde-de [23:45] is there any game like a warcraft tower defence for linux? === u^A is now known as u^A_ [23:45] chickin: kde is the best, but it'd a kde app. brasero is good for gnome, or just plain nautilus file manager [23:45] adrock358-> you have to modify firefox where it download file option [23:45] d90_: Isn't that a flash game? [23:46] adrock358-> or cd /mnt; wget xxxx.com/xxx [23:46] xenthro hmmm, I didn't know. heh my computer came with: Sonic and DLA, not sure if their the same [23:46] d90_: no not a flash [23:46] bkar, i know but you can't nav through the filesyste while using livecd [23:46] i.e. You can run it in flash after installing flash in your browser. [23:46] Rei-chan, not a flash [23:46] adrock358-> sure you can navigate the mounted file system [23:46] d90_: you can't get it working? [23:47] Xenthro: I would use them but I don't have a system running linux or any ver. of it [23:47] bkar no you can't not from firefox you can't [23:47] only the ubuntu folder and some other garbage bkar [23:47] does the filename literally, the filename, or do i do the whole address [23:47] chickin http://cdburnerxp.se/ i use this often when im stuck with windows [23:47] so that command line will work bkar [23:47] chickin: do you need something to burn an iso? [23:47] creature, sounds like they weren't set up with uuid's or the uuid's changed when the drives changed channels. Use blkid to identify the uuid numbers and compare them against what is in /etc/fstab [23:47] chickin: in windows [23:47] adrock358-> do this, select the options of FF [23:47] bkar i tried, it's not worth it. you can't [23:48] chickin: http://www.imgburn.com/ is a handy windows burning tool. free small and good. [23:48] tanath, no, you dont get me, I looking for a game like a warcraft tower defence... something like this flash but better http://www.tokenarcade.com/play-578-Strategic_Tower_Defence.html [23:48] adrock358-> just try will you..preferences i guess not option [23:48] bkar, ok...i'm listening. [23:48] HipShot: if you're running the command from the same directory the file is in (preferred), then just use the name of the file. otherwise you'll need the whole path to the file [23:48] Scunizi: I'll give that a shot, thanks. [23:48] adrock358-> edit->preferences->download [23:48] xenthro I'll try that! :) tanath thanks for you help, Delphinus I'll try that too :) [23:48] bkar and... [23:49] uh...how would i run the command from the same directory? (the file is on the desktop) [23:49] adrock358-> what options does it have to save file into which dir? [23:49] hey if I am using a program in ubuntu (fiesty) and it freezes, what combination of keys (like control-alt-delete) will un-freeze it? [23:49] bkar i'm telling you bro, mnt is NOT listed [23:49] i'll look but this is going to be stupid bkar [23:49] HipShot: oh, just right click on it, go to properties, make it executable, and double click on it. if that doesn't work, then in the terminal, do 'cd ~/Desktop' first [23:49] noob here trying to get my 7 button mouse working, i know what file i need to edit and what need to change but it will not let me save the changes says I don't have permission. ? [23:50] I need qt3, boost and xlib along with their headers to compile PDFedit. Searching for them in synaptic gives multiple results for each. Anyone know which ones I should use to compile? [23:50] xenthro thx, I just dowloaded it :) [23:50] not sure i know how to remove an install of Ubuntu [23:50] adrock358-> okay, okay..im asking so i would remember [23:50] chickin np [23:50] misslecommander, delete the partition [23:50] helloooo [23:50] xenthro :) [23:50] adrock358-> are you telling me you have not even looked? [23:50] Scunizi: using LiveCD ? [23:50] snipes44 what editor are you using. You should be able to run it with 'sudo' then you can save the file. [23:50] '< hiiiiiiiiiiii [23:51] misslecommander, sure.. or a live cd of gparted (works better) [23:51] bkar What? why would I ask you if I have not even looked. you;re not making sense [23:51] Bax: if it's just the app, then clicking the x and waiting should allow you to force it to close. or you can kill it from the terminal. if the comp appears to be frozen you can kill your login session (x server) with 'ctrl+alt+backspace' which should drop you back to login screen [23:51] Bax maybe someone has a better solution, but I usually have the gnome-system-manager widget in my gnome bar. it gives you something similar to hitting ctrl alt del [23:51] was using pico [23:51] adrock358-> am going to shutdown and use liveCD..be back soon [23:51] Scunizi: so then i can act like i am installing, delete the partition then exit ? [23:51] snipes sudo pico defenitely works [23:51] is sudo and su the same? [23:51] bkar ok [23:51] not quite [23:52] misslecommander, on reinstall it's easier to setup /home in its own partition. Makes it easier to do a clean install of the next system. Yes to the last question' [23:52] bkar wait [23:52] Scunizi: thank you [23:52] ok was trying just su and htat was not working, will try sudo thx [23:52] bkar is it "dev" [23:52] su logs you in as root, sudo exucutes the command as super user. [23:52] hm, i don't see anything about making it executable in the properties for the .run file [23:52] misslecommander, you might need to boot the live cd and install gparted. then from the live cd terminal just type gparted and do it from there. [23:53] Bax: Bax if ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't work, it's pretty frozen, in which case this should always work: hold alt+sysrq (the print screen button), then type (waiting between letters) R, E, I, S, U, B. in that order. that will safely reboot [23:53] and i just copy pasted the command into the terminal...was i suppose to add more to that? [23:53] xenthro sweet! thanks, burning right now! :) [23:53] Bax sorry its gnome-system-monitor, not gnome-system-manager [23:54] hi there, does anyone know how to set up a hotkey for showing/hiding the rhythmbox playlist? [23:54] Bax: i forget what r & e do, but i kills running apps, then s sychs data to hard drive, u unmounts drives, then b reboots [23:54] is anybody familiar with latex in scim? [23:55] I've decided to tackle my sound problem later... How can I get the Restricted Drivers for my graphics card to work? They never work... [23:55] ati right? [23:55] phreck: of course :P [23:55] phreck: seems to be the only problem-causing one... [23:55] any ideas on getting my raid controller to show up in linux? The drive shows up under 'Places', but won't let me access it [23:55] got mine working without a hitch in gutsy... [23:55] anyone experience a system update thats has messed up cups network printing ? [23:56] phreck: >.< lucky, I keep having problems on gutsy. I have to use 8500 [23:56] Elevator_Hazard did you already go to settings>system>restricted drivers? [23:56] tanath, what if the app is covering the entire screen (like a game), is there a way just to get back to the desktop? xenthro: when the app covers the entire screen, is there a way you can call the system manager in a way similar to the taskmanager in windows? [23:56] Will most everything made for windows (hardware wise) work for linux and ubuntu ok? [23:56] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4169195#post4169195 [23:56] hey guys [23:56] anyone know what that can be?? [23:56] xenthro: Yup, I restart it to. [23:57] I want to grep the buffer of an active terminal session. I can not seem to figure out how to do this. can anyone help? [23:57] Bax: if alt+tab doesn't work, you may be able to get to a virtual terminal with ctrl+alt+f1 to fix things. then ctr+alt+f7 gets back to GUI [23:57] is there any reason why i might not be getting the alternate install cd when i try to download it? [23:57] chickin: not for me, but it depends on the computer I suppose. [23:57] Elevator_Hazard is it a laptop? [23:57] hello. i just booted 64bit kubuntu and after linux boot screen i get a black screen and flashing caps lock and scroll lock leds [23:58] xenthro: no [23:58] elevator_hazard I have a wireless usb card that i want to use for ubuntu since im going to use it as my server, do you think it'll work ok? [23:58] Flamsmark: there was a problem earlier, it may be back. You can download it directly at releases.ubuntu/7.10 [23:58] Elevator_Hazard what card is it specifically? [23:58] nickrud - it seems that i have wasted a cd then :'( [23:58] xenthro: ATI 9550 I think, I'll try to be more specific, one second. [23:58] Thanks tanath and xenthro, i'll try those tricks out. better than power rebooting my computer! [23:58] Flamsmark: think of it as a tool to convert someone :) [23:59] chikin: I have no idea, I know a friend of mine had a problem with drivers for his wireless card, I'm not an expert though. [23:59] What is the easiest way to get java installed? [23:59] techgeek40_: install it from the repos? [23:59] tudon: has you tried with F1, F2, ... there are different boot options [23:59] Also how can I find out what version of Ubuntu Gutsy I'm running? [23:59] !java | techgeek40_ [23:59] techgeek40_: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) [23:59] odinsbane: that looks to have saved the conf file. is there a quick way to restart x with out restarting the whole computer? [23:59] or a coaster, nickrud. yep, the alt-selection dealie is definately not working [23:59] snipes44: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace [23:59] techgeek40_: if you're running gutsy, you're running 7.10, as thats the only version of Gutsy there is. [23:59] xenthro: ATI Radeon 9550 / X1050 Series [23:59] thx
