[00:00] elevator_hazard ah, thanks for trying :) btw I don;t know how you keep up w/ two conversations at once :O [00:00] i wanna pimp my ubuntu :( [00:00] do we have a fix for the flash issue yet [00:00] chickin: I can't :P [00:00] Elevator_Hazard: Jack_Sparrow is working on a howto for that device and effects, you can take a look at his working notes at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52710/ [00:00] can you save a large file dl while using live cd? [00:00] Bax if you pull up a virtual terminal, I recommend you get "htop" an tiny app that shows all running processes and is based on the command line [00:01] Elevator_Hazard Oh god... can't help... a few years back i had an ati 9600 and it was a nightmare [00:01] where are the multimedia setting located in gutsy? [00:01] xenthro: nickrud found a nice link [00:01] xenthro: bax is gone [00:01] Elevator_Hazard: whumps, it says it's for 9500 and before [00:01] And is there a package out there that has the standard windows fonts that can be used in Gutsy? [00:01] elevator_hazard heh ya think? :P I see you talking to xenthro too heh [00:01] nickrud: thanks I'll see. [00:01] chickin: But I'm barely doing it. [00:01] elevator_hazard and nickrud :P [00:01] lol [00:01] nickrud: oh. [00:02] nickrud: thanks anyways. [00:02] im running ubuntu feisty, can someone help me switch off ALL desktop effects and disable beryl by default please? [00:02] Maybe this can be answered, not sure: If I type sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-driver-via [00:02] Elevator_Hazard: ah, well I was only a digit off. [00:02] I get the error: E: Unable to find a source package for xserver-xorg-driver-via [00:02] techgeek40_: do you have the source repos enabled? [00:02] benny269: without uninstalling it? System > prefs> desktop effects [00:02] nickrud: I'm actually ok with 8500 drivers, but I was thinking maybe compiz would work if I had the proper, better, drivers. [00:02] Tritium: To be honest I am not sure [00:03] techgeek40_: xserver-xorg-video-via as of edgy. [00:03] techgeek40_: look in /etc/apt/sources [00:03] elevator_hazard: could you tell me how to grep the buffer of an active terminal session? I am having problems figuring that one out. I am not sure what file to look for. [00:03] Sorry [00:03] Don't know why I got dropped [00:03] techgeek40_: look in /etc/apt/sources. They begin with "deb-src" [00:03] Tanuki33: I honestly don't really know how to use grep. [00:04] Elevator_Hazard: you might try browsing around wiki.compiz-fusion.org , maybe there's some tweaks there. Also, he has some tweaks that may apply [00:04] tanath: yes. when i go to desktop effects it says enable effects, but they are already enabled? and the beryl symbol is in the systray (or whatever linux calls it) [00:04] Bugger Nuts [00:04] thanks anyhow [00:04] what's the difference between using ubuntu-restricted-extras and medibuntu repo? is there a conflict? [00:04] nickrud: I also just realized I might have a problem with starting up linux now... Usually when I try to enable restricted drivers it would go to safe grapihcs but last time it didn't [00:05] nickrud: so I went to recovery mode and ran some xorg command thing to set my on config. [00:05] tucuna: not really, but medibuntu has some other programs a lot fo folks like(adobe acrobat, googleearth, opera web browser, etc.).. i prefer using medibuntu [00:05] nickrud: but it messed up like when I chose 24 bit or something for the screen display so I turned it off there. [00:05] benny269: the icon in the systray should have a right click menu option to disable it [00:06] benny269: and beryl has been discontinued, and merged with compiz [00:06] xenthro: 87% :P [00:06] nickrud: so my question is how can I boot it up in safe graphics where I can choose which driver to use? (I will just choose 8500 again...) [00:06] 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 ? * I followed a Xinerama tutorial and it screwed up the initial display so I backed up, I'm not an advanced user and don't know what I'm doing [00:06] irc.roachware.net [00:06] Elevator_Hazard: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg , that will get you the default ubuntu config [00:06] HEY HELP! can you save a large file dl while using live cd? [00:06] xenthro: 90% :P oh! 91% [00:06] - so you can install the package *and* add the repository without problems? [00:06] I'm getting retarded - how do I look into the sources.list ? [00:06] opp! 92% [00:06] tanath: im aware of that but i dont want to upgrade just yet. beryl only offers quit by right click and last time i did this it still loaded on restart. i want everything disabled by defualt. [00:06] nickrud: oh and I won't have to do any custom configs? [00:07] i need to fix frickin flash [00:07] anyone have any hints? [00:07] Elevator_Hazard: nope, no questions at all [00:07] Hi all, I have a lenovo 3000 N100 on Gutsy, and still having sound problems. The internal speakers mute when I plug-in earphones, but when I play with the volume, they start working again. [00:07] benny269: ah, you'll have to remove it from your session [00:07] tucuna: once you add the medibuntu repository, installing the package is as simple as sudo apt-get install whatever [00:07] any one running compiz fusion? jst installed it on but how do i get the 3d cube thing running? i think ive set in ccsm the effects how do i trigger it? [00:07] benny269: and check which session you're choosing when you log in. choose gnome [00:07] nickrud. i'm on livecd tryin to dl alternate cd, but i can't save it on my hd. [00:07] techgeek40: what are you trying to do exactly? [00:07] annonymouse: please join #compiz-fusion [00:07] nickrud: wow I wish I knew that before... Thanks... [00:07] Also, when I play mp3 files with VLC, I get squeaking sounds.. (with mplayer I don't experience such problems).. [00:07] To look at the sources.list [00:07] adrock358: what partition and type do you want to save it on? [00:07] tanath: can you walk me through that please? i dont understand most of what you just said [00:07] thanks [00:07] See what I have in there [00:07] Anyone know of a tiny embedded linux distro for an x86 system? === victoryemulator is now known as m0hitkumar [00:08] techgeek40: its probably all gonna be greek to you, why are you looking at your sources [00:08] benny269: System > Prefs > Sessions [00:08] Because - I'm having a hard time getting openchrome working right - [00:08] benny269: remove beryl from startup, and current session === Zdra_ is now known as Zdra [00:08] nickrud i want to save it on any partition with space. i want to access it from ubuntu when i'm not on the livecd and it's an iso file, so...that's all I know [00:08] techgeek40: and why do you think your repository listing has something to dow ith that?.. all the repos do is install/remove software. [00:09] Indy: I'm a computer tech - but for windows xp/vista/2000 server and so forth - this linux is new tome [00:09] benny269: and save. then when you log in next time. there's an option to choose your session. make sure you're not choosing a session called beryl [00:09] techgeek40: so basically, you're not a computer tech. [00:09] adrock358: understood. But to tell you how, I need to know the partition and what type of filesystem [00:09] LOL [00:09] so again, what are you trying to do. [00:09] Inday I am a computer tech - yes - but I've always just used the windows version - [00:09] IndyGunFreak: you are Cruel [00:09] 26 years in the field [00:09] it's linux, ubuntu. only filesystem i have. it's devsda1 i think [00:09] But I'm getting tired of windows and want to learn linux [00:10] great I lost a computer... By that I mean I can't find it. [00:10] nickrud it's linux, ubuntu. only filesystem i have. it's devsda1 i think [00:10] techgeek40: i worked in a fast food restaurant for 10yrs, i'm certainly not a chef [00:10] anyone know of a flash fix yet? [00:10] I'm just trying to get some drivers working - not be insulted [00:10] phreck: the instructions on the top of the page are ridiculous, download the source from adobe.com, and you'll have flash working in 5min [00:10] actually, probably less than that [00:11] sigh... wheres the best place to look for help finding and installing an ULi M5288 RAID AHCI Controller driver? [00:11] top of what pagr [00:11] page [00:11] adrock358: ok, sudo mkdir /media/sda1 && sudo mount /dev/sda1 -t ext3 /media /sda1 && chmod a+w /media/sda1 , you should be able to write there [00:11] !topic | phreck [00:11] phreck: Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information.

[00:11] wine *might* [00:11] hagen i got it running with wine [00:12] kid: I didnt think it worked with wine [00:12] I have problem with the xorg update [00:12] benny269: removed from startup in sessions? [00:12] adrock358: there was a typo there in the second command: it's sudo mount /dev/sda1 -t ext3 /media/sda1 , no space before sda1 [00:12] how can i list the contents of a repo with apt?? [00:12] yay found it. [00:12] benny269: then it shouldn't start up again next session :) [00:12] When I do : sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-driver-via I get the following error: E: Unable to find a source package for xserver-xorg-driver-via [00:12] tanath: great but how do i stop it for right now [00:12] techgeek40: system->admin->software sources, enable the source repo [00:12] hey everyone, for some reason, flash doesn't want to work... I'm running GG, everything updated, I just tried to install flash (going on a flash enabled website and installing the missing plugin), it downloaded and installed all right, but flash isn't detected in firefo [00:12] benny269: through the systray icon [00:13] techgeek40: and it's xserver-xorg-video-via , not driver [00:13] benny269: if that doesn't work, then log out, and back in [00:13] Hey guys, I'm running 7.10 and I have an older WinTV pci card, one with radio on it, and I've been finding very spotty information on how to get the TV or the Radio portion of my card to work. So far my first step was just manually modprobe-ing bttv, but /dev/video* doesn't exist.

[00:14] But that did it - thank you [00:14] Nickrud: may have been - depends on what we were talking about [00:14] anybody know wheres the best place to look for help installing an ULi M5288 RAID Controller driver? [00:14] Hey all, does anyone know how to get Postfix to use Courier's userdb file for SMTP auth? id appreciate any pointers / urls / tutorials as I'm totally lost at this point, everything is perfect except this! [00:14] Why am I getting this error: [00:14] (choose the non-update version if this is the first installation). [00:14] Please visit [00:14] http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.html [00:14] now and download. The file should be owned by root.root and be copied [00:14] to /tmp.

[00:15] techgeek40: openchrome, I saw that page about building it. Seems almost a waste, it's so limited.

[00:16] its a lot to paste [00:16] is there a way to set like a package checkpoint, ie say i have the system at a good point, and I wanna try installing some stuff that may be problemaTIC but what I'd like is to have a checkpoint that I can revert to to remove all the extra packages brought in from the set I have to install [00:16] Internal GStreamer error: negotiation problem.

[00:16] anyone? I'm looking to get Postfix to use Courier's userdb file for SMTP auth on ubuntu 6.06 LTS, no idea how to do it, would appreciate a point in the right direction [00:17] IndyGunFreak, yes [00:17] yeah well thats obvious :p [00:17] adub, so where is the link to the bug you filed?

[01:11] i can recover this account, but i need both working for this account to work [01:11] Flannel : he wants to overwrite the free space over and over [01:11] tumbleweed__: I have legally purchased it, so downloading is fine [01:11] Not sure why I am having a problem with this, but I have the directory "apache-tomcat-6.0.14" in my home directory. I want to copy it as /usr/bin/tomcat6 (so the contents of the "apache-tomcat-6...." directory can be in /usr/bin/tomcat6 - but when I issue the command sudo "cp -R apache-tomcat-6.0.14 /usr/share/tomcat6", it puts the directory into /usr/bin/tomcat6/aoache-tomcat-6.0.14 [01:11] Flannel, EAT ME :) [01:11] !flash [01:11] what am I missing here?

How do I get my system booting again? [01:27] I have 4 HDs. for 2 of them, It hits 'Verifying DMI Pool Data' and doesn't do anything else. Just hangs. For the other 2 it drops to 'Boot from CD:' and hangs, because there's on CD in the drive. [01:27] dman well, Im not using ubuntu, im using winxp on a very old comp and the mouse works for every thing elce :/ [01:27] chickin: what's wrong wih it? it just won't move th cursor? [01:27] This is probably be expected, as 2 of the drives make up a RAID1 array of /boot, and so will have the bootable flag set.

If you have a 32 bit processor it will only pick up ~2GB [01:44] im like a total noob [01:44] how old [01:45] what you running [01:45] agreenmac: probably 32 bit then [01:45] ok [01:45] agreenmac: you might try the alternate install CD if its that old, it might not have enough Ram to run the liev CD [01:45] so i need a different live cd? [01:45] amidaniel: It is 4 gigs. :) I just didn't know if my whole rig had to be 64, but if my mobo supports a 64-bit proc then it will work dman? [01:45] alison: ?

[01:45] what's the difference between stop process and end process? [01:45] Speakermania: 32-bit can only address 4 gb. a little over 1 gb of that is internal memory addresses, so ~3gb is usable [01:45] yes [01:45] thanks [01:46] im talking to you in PM :) [01:46] ya what they said [01:46] hehe [01:46] How do enable single-click?

[02:05] ok thanks:) [02:05] * achilles slaps Apprentice around a bit with a large trout [02:05] vontux: dont think so [02:05] hey guys [02:05] bcarm17: the file /sbin/modprobe on the livecd may be corrupt [02:05] Was asking if one knew Witch is able to be used with youtube! [02:05] robdig: because my interfaces file doesn't have my wep key in it [02:05] perhaps you need a reboot [02:05] I need help with a sed regexp, i have a long string of numbers, i need it to add ][ every 8 characters, how would i do this? [02:05] achilles '0o [02:05] Hey, I just installed the fluxbox packages from synpatic but when I boot to fluxbox the menu doesn't show on right-click [02:05] i got two discs with the same error [02:05] vontux: hmm... [02:06] one 64 bit and one i386 [02:06] ToxicSoul am considering installing fluxbox since GNOME is not lean and mean enough for me. how do you like it? [02:06] RazzoRz: I would suggest that Google is your friend in investigating which one works with youtube [02:07] * regeya missed what the question wsa bout youtube [02:07] i remember blackbox and how great that was, so...it seems natural [02:07] how to make kaffeine the default player for live radio? [02:07] HAHA google is MY best friend.. Trust me!.. but if i dont have to trial and error... and if one knows ( ie ) having done it b4 ... witch ones works the best! [02:07] was about, even...RazzoRz? [02:07] jscinoz: you may try "s/\(.{8}\)/[\1]/g" [02:07] wyclif: I've used it once or twice and have come to like it but for some reason it doesn't want to work right on my desktop here =\ [02:07] this should word [02:07] i think ill stick to windows cause must of the software that i will make will be windows anyways:( [02:07] work [02:07] jscinoz: pvt me? [02:07] Is there a easy platform for streaming video? I know of VLC, but doing that over a linux box is a bit timeconsuming.. I would like something like kPlaylist [02:07] what is pvt me? [02:08] ill try that regexp one sec [02:08] init 0 [02:08] Starnestommy: i have both i386 and 64 bit versions of ubuntu 7.10 === amidaniel|away is now known as amidaniel [02:08] wyclif: I feel that way about Window Maker...I guess if anyone were to modernize it a bit more, and if the debian packager would apply a very minor patch to get DnD working... [02:08] achilles: You should try to program cross-platform that way people can use your software no matter what platform they're on. [02:08] rgeya: he's trying to find a screencast app that is compatible w/ youtube [02:08] regeya heh... [02:09] Anyone have any ideas why the root-menu won't show up in fluxbox? [02:09] Once I have edited xorg.conf do I need to reboot before the file is parsed? [02:09] achilles: you should look into programming with qt toolkit (what kde uses) because it's easy to do cross-platform [02:09] jscinoz: sed "s/\(.\{8\}\)/[\1]/g" [02:09] this workds [02:09] ah...well, wouldn't know dman :-> [02:09] achilles: and kdevelop is a great ide for that [02:09] JonathanEllis: you just need to restart X [02:09] wharp but its possible to make linux software in windows right? [02:09] Restart x? How? [02:09] boopy boopy [02:09] achilles: to each his own. i used to love windows... still dual-boot just in case i need it. [02:09] yep that works jnascimento, thanks === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [02:09] JonathanEllis: hit Ctrl+Alt+Backspace [02:09] regeya i remember i used to have WindowMaker with an Amiga theme. my desktop looked just like an Amiga with the WM widgets. nostalgia! [02:10] achilles: Yes, if you know what you're doing. [02:10] wyclif: Guys, Would you mind taking the discussions [02:10] I have an amd64 CPU, and am currently running 32bit ubuntu. Is it worth me trying to run 64 bit? [02:10] Starnestommy: can i pm u? [02:10] wyclif: to offtopic [02:10] bcarm17: go ahead, but I'd rather keep it in-channel [02:10] it's very possible to write cross-platform software...there are a number of different options available. you could go java, or maybe something like wxWidgets...there are even bindings for wxWidgets for languages such as python and ruby... [02:10] what's offtopic there, Cap'n Jack? [02:11] warp ok than ill stick to windows since all the software i need is windows only like photoshop and office 2007 but when i develop software ill make sure its linux compatible too:) [02:11] alsuren: You inherit some heavy performance boosts on math heavy applications, as well as some headaches with 32-bit only things. [02:11] * regeya has been meaning to give wxsugar a try [02:11] alsuren: i find 32-bit to be easier usage wise. few apps yet can taken advantage of 64-bit === twelve is now known as jaytea [02:11] wxsugar [02:11] you thank thats good? [02:11] why everytime a video finishes playback on MPlayer i get an error? gnome_screensaver_control() [02:11] wyclif: regeya The discussion about programming cross platform apps... [02:11] think* === jaytea is now known as twelve [02:11] Jack_Sparrow what are you on about, mate? [02:12] Jack_Sparrow that wasn't me [02:12] achilles: If you reencode video regularly, it's likely to be worth your time. Otherwise unless you really want to milk your potential performance in only some areas - no. [02:12] anyone get a guitar hero control working with fof? is there a driver i need? [02:12] Jack_Sparrow MF? [02:12] wyclif: This is a support room for help with OS issues.. not about programming and such.. Just would appreciate it if you moved over to the offtopic room [02:12] hi [02:12] con-man: i think google would be best for that. more people. [02:13] Jack_Sparrow where did I discuss programming? not here [02:13] wyclif: Sorry if I was mistaken... [02:13] Anyone have any ideas why the root-menu won't show up in fluxbox? [02:13] Jack_Sparrow: sorry; two other people were discussing cross-platform, thought I'd throw in my two bits. lay off the rum, matey. [02:13] one line does not a conversation make. [02:13] so I've made sure that ULi Electronics Device Drivers were compiled as modules in my kernel, however my computer still won't mount my raided hard drives on that uli controller... any ideas? [02:13] who dual boots xp and ubuntu? [02:13] I do [02:13] regeya: nice, and true. [02:13] NeoOokami: floating point or fixed point math? Are they both faster under 64bit? [02:14] i just set-up mine. [02:14] i do too [02:14] shyguy345: i do. only use ubuntu tho most of the time [02:14] me 3 [02:14] im finding out its not worth it [02:14] lol [02:14] its not benefiting me in any way [02:14] hm [02:14] Both I believe. Though the real performance boost comes from having twice the registers to work with. [02:14] Neookami: just for floating operation i believe [02:14] i am really impressed by the speed of the processing. [02:14] shyguy345: why? [02:14] i dont know [02:14] Tends to make applications such as compression and encoding go substantially faster. [02:14] for a while I've ran ubuntu under vmware in windows... but now I'm trying to run xp in vmware running under ubuntu [02:15] but I'm having trouble mounting my drive that has my vm on it :/ [02:15] just stick to windows [02:15] <|Quest|> how to run mac osx on linux? i dont have mac. i have a pc [02:15] pure`eigenVector: same with me [02:15] |Quest|: Have you tried VirtualBox?

Sorry I am new to all this [02:25] ArthurArchnix: just for one CD that hardlocks my system when its inserted [02:25] snipes44: Ah... not sure how to do it just for one cd, sorry. [02:25] thaks guys [02:26] Ubuntu is the best! [02:26] Hi all, Have been trying on and off for weeks to get suspend to ram working on my HP laptop... And come here in desperation... The ubuntu laptop testing team's page for this laptop (Compaq nx6325) Says it works, but gives no details [02:26] TallHunkDan: agreed [02:26] hey again guys [02:26] dman: nah its an BMG/RCA cd Dave Mathews Band - Busted Stuff [02:26] Have tried allsorts, even decompiled the DSDT to check it has no inherent problems, and nope, no errors [02:27] anyone here know how to get the USB guiatar hero 3 controller working in linux? [02:27] fof doesnt recognize it [02:27] can someone please help me? [02:27] as i before requested a sed regexp to add characters every 8 characters. this works fine but i also need another one that removes left over characters, how would this be done? [02:27] ArthurArchnix: ok what about for diabling for everything [02:27] snipes44: well, sounds like a good cd. i suggest google [02:27] snipes44: If it's just one cd though, you could disable autostart, rip the cd with sounjuicer, and burn it anew, turn autostart back on? [02:28] ArthurArchnix: i think he wants to know how. me too. [02:28] yo, skull! [02:28] dman: ya not find what I'm looking for in google....yet lol [02:28] snipes44: wow. a rare case. good luck! [02:29] it says .rar is an unsupported archive type.. [02:29] any fix for this? [02:29] snipes44: Use gconf-editor.. in a terminal "gconf-editor", then search for autostart and check the box that says include key names. Then uncheck the keys that says "autoplay cda", "autoplay dvd", "autoplay vcd". [02:29] trying to do the switch to linux from windows 30 day trial ripping music is very important for me since I have a very large collection [02:29] !unrar [02:29] zachalink: sudo apt-get install unrar [02:29] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [02:30] ArthurArchnix: ok will try that [02:30] ty, bye [02:30] snipes44: dman A restart Ctrl+Alt+Backspace may be required. [02:30] zachalink: unrar will decompress. have to pay to compress w/ rar [02:30] is there and advanteage to riping with sound juicer over rythmbox? [02:30] ' [02:30] DjZisko [02:30] been using rythmbox seems to work fine [02:30] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. what now? [02:30] snipes44: Perhaps more control over the extraction method and quality of rip. [02:31] Hi Guys [02:31] how do i have my website accessable without using a default route? [02:31] ArthurArchnix: thanks. just wanted to know in case i needed it. ctr-alt-bkspace is really handy in linux. [02:31] ArthurArchnix: ya more then likely will have to restart x [02:31] so... wat now [02:31] emerald just ate shite on me [02:31] whats the command to bring it back up again? [02:31] dman: snipes44 My pleasure. Indeed. I love the lack of restarts required on linux. [02:32] how would i install this pkg form command line http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/graphics/imagemagick ?? [02:32] zachalink: standard archive manager will decompress rars. [02:32] now. [02:32] dman: I try to avoid ctrl-alt-backsapce .... Make sure if you use it you shut everything down [02:32] nownot: sudo apt-get install imagemagick [02:32] shayne what do you mean by that? [02:32] nownot: sudo apt-get install imagemagick [02:32] it says it is not supported... [02:32] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 19 not upgraded. [02:32] ArthurArchnix: so gconf-editor is like regedit in windows? [02:32] dman: i know. it is useful when needed tho. better than hard power down at least to cure a freeze [02:33] but when i do confer --version i get convert: error while loading shared libraries: libMagick.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [02:33] snipes44: kind of. more user friendly, with less settings. the system doesn't depend on it as much. [02:33] snipes44: Not really. It seems like it, but the registry in Windows has no comparison in... anything. :) [02:33] snipes44: Like dman says. [02:33] ArthurArchnix: lol [02:34] wharp, dman: i installed from package but get error when i check version [02:34] dman Jack_Sparrow there's also alt+Printscreen REISUB (I believe that's correct) that will keep from having to use the power switch [02:34] nownot: try System > Administration > Synaptic Package manager. search for it, then reinstall it. [02:34] phreck: #Compiz will be able to help with that [02:34] how do you start emerald up [02:35] i forget [02:35] Sorry about that, got d/c anyone make any suggestions for suspend to ram on a HP compaq nx6325 [02:35] what's the command search for a directory in linux [02:35] aww. [02:35] wharp: thx. will try that next time i need to do that.

[02:36] pizzel: .mozilla/firefoz [02:36] x [02:36] dman: maybe if i completely uninstall then reinstall? how do i completely uninstall a package [02:36] dman: you might want to double check it as I've had trouble getting it to work lately. But each letter does something such as unmounting drives so its pretty safe. [02:36] dman: i'm trying to install flash plugin and it's asking to enter mozilla path [02:36] who is willing to help me?

[02:37] was setting up a machine for ubuntu all these pieces worked in my other chassis, i move it over and now nothing comes up on screen.. [02:37] the psu fan spins, the cpu fan spins, but i get nothing [02:37] !flashissues [02:37] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [02:37] Jack_Sparrow: so i might have stuff everywhere ........... [02:37] no boot noises [02:38] is this a dead psu? [02:38] nownot: I can give you the Unofficial Fix I used.. [02:38] a1: not if the fans are spinning. bad connection maybe? check the wires [02:38] Jack_Sparrow: pls do [02:38] Technically, flash is broken for kubuntu, and opera users. Gnome firefox users can use the workaround fix without issue. [02:38] hm [02:38] At least, according to link last time I read it. [02:38] ok will check, its an old board, there arent that many connectors [02:38] sudo iwconfig will result in outputting your current wep key [02:38] nownot: sEE pm... [02:39] nownot: Sorry for the caps [02:39] GNOME FIREFOX users still see some tearing in their flash videos [02:39] Jack_Sparrow: flash plugin? [02:39] nownot: Did I misread what you were trying to install [02:39] DOOM_NX: Really? I haven't. Could be true. The flash upgrade broke a lot of things. [02:39] Jack_Sparrow: yea im on imagemagick [02:39] is there a graphical wvdial that will use my current settings? [02:39] ArthurArchnix, do u have flash 9? [02:40] DOOM_NX: Yeah. [02:40] nownot: What all have you installed from outside the official repos? [02:40] ok wait a moment [02:40] DOOM_NX: Got a link with the earing? [02:40] *tearing.

[02:41] nownot: DId you ever use automatix, envy or manually change your sources? [02:41] DOOM_NX: I see the tearing too on that site, but not when I visit: http://www.adobe.com/ Are you sure it's not just crappy flash? [02:41] !wvdial [02:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about wvdial - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:41] Jack_Sparrow: no [02:41] !ppp [02:41] You want to connect via dial-up?

[02:41] nownot: So why are you trying to reinstall everything. [02:42] DOOM_NX: Yeah. No problems there. [02:42] b/c i get this error when checking imagemagick version convert: error while loading shared libraries: libMagick.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [02:42] ArthurArchnix, if u see some high action videos then u'll notice that tearing [02:42] shayne if I understood you correctly, am trying to hit your box, dns says use your router1, and since you have move it to router2 you expect me to hit your box still? [02:42] ArthurArchnix, pay attention in ur next youtube video [02:42] DOOM_NX: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWn0lxRNqos [02:43] whats the diff between "automount_drives" and "automount_media" ? [02:43] what?? [02:43] DOOM_NX: Ahh... yeah, that link isn't exactly high action. [02:43] yup!!! [02:43] DOOM_NX: Still, it's funny.

[02:43] how can i tell sed to remove lines with less than 26 characters? [02:43] bkar: basically [02:43] anyone using Ubuntu Ultimate? [02:43] jithesh: yep [02:44] aaaugh... now i dont have sound in totem either :( [02:44] jithesh: what is it [02:44] dman, no, because even windows users with flash 9 were able to reproduce it [02:44] DOOM_NX: You could be right. I don't have a dedicated video card though. Either way, I don't think anyone is impressed with flash9. [02:44] ultimate? [02:44] okay.how to use 3d effects? [02:44] Does anyone know of any good Linux tutorials? [02:44] anybody care to help me fix my multimedia quandry? [02:44] jithesh: you have to turn on Beryl [02:44] sorry no... [02:44] quandary* [02:44] shayne that will not work as you have experienced, you have to somehow get the dns to rotate between your routers, some kind of a load balancer through your ISP [02:44] ArthurArchnix, i've done a research today, a lot of users have the same problem, so i feel kinda relieved i'm not alone... [02:44] DOOM_NX: seems like a flash problem then. either flash or the flash vid. [02:44] still i want this to be fixed by adobe [02:44] okay... anybody care to help me with my spelling? [02:44] DOOM_NX: I believe you. [02:44] lol [02:45] "from: can't read /var/mail/__future__" that is what Python tells me when I try to run an executable script. hwo can I fix it? [02:45] Beryl or compixConfig? [02:45] how can i tell sed to only print lines with greater than or equal to 26 characters? ie. remove lines with less than 26 characters. [02:45] does anyone know of a good planner program for linux that helps organize dates and times? [02:45] but i have another, more serious problem [02:45] chewd: just ask it! [02:45] * ArthurArchnix leaves to go get his drink on. Cya... [02:45] after mplayer finishes playback i get a screensaver error [02:45] jithesh: applications>system tools> its at the top of the list [02:45] kilgor3: evolution works pretty well. [02:45] Snips44: Let me check [02:45] nownot: I just verified that I could install it without errors from official repos.. [02:45] jithesh: i ran the byrl one [02:46] okay... ive been trying to get xine to work... its got no sound.. so i went monkeying around in synaptic... installed notum & pulseaudio [02:46] id normally use evolution but i dont want it to sync with my email [02:46] now sound doesnt work in movieplayer either [02:46] kilgor3: You can look at sunfire from Mozilla [02:46] Jack_Sparrow: do convert --version and see what you get [02:46] bkar: i guess a better question is...how do i have the data from my webserver get routed to a router that isnt my default router? [02:46] never mind. I had forgetten the ! in #!/usr/bin/python2.5... it was running it as a bash script :) [02:46] anybody actually using MPLAYER? [02:46] is there a way I can set my stuff up so I don't have to type my sudo password all the time for admin stuff? I'm the only one that uses my machine. I don't even mind if it's once everytime I boot, but it get's annoying everytime I want to open something like synaptic that I have to type it. [02:46] jithesh: not sure how to make it start at every boot I just start it up maneully [02:46] doom_nx: nope. amarok. vlc for vids mostly. [02:46] no sound in notum VLC either [02:47] dman thanks [02:47] Jack_Sparrow: did uninstall and reinstall and still got error convert: error while loading shared libraries: libMagick.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [02:47] actually... no video in VLC for that matter.. .just green lines [02:47] the more i monkey with it... the less it works :( [02:47] still many errors in gutsy >< [02:47] is there some way to roll back the changes ive made? [02:47] nownot: [02:47] convert --version [02:47] Version: ImageMagick 6.2.4 10/02/07 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org [02:47] Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2005 ImageMagick Studio LLC [02:47] nevermind, did it with perl :P [02:47] hi people [02:47] chewd: sounds like your sound is screwed up... not apps. good luck, not my area [02:47] i screwed something up good [02:48] well dman: the sound test works === Fraser is now known as Fraser_Scotland [02:48] Jack_Sparrow: wtf ........ [02:48] how can I create a new user in pureFTPD? [02:48] i already had that struggle [02:48] so uh, does wget not obey --wait and --random-wait when it fails to get a page? [02:48] what the hell [02:48] am i the only one that have the mouse cursor that disappear when something load ? [02:48] ktorrent keeps going 'omg too many open files' [02:48] Jack_Sparrow: ok i did this right her sudo apt-get remove imagemagick [02:48] jithesh: you get it? [02:48] shayne you have to do some kind of load balancing with your route table, you can even have it like comes in on router 1 and out goes through router 2, people that get paid big bux does these things for a living [02:48] chewd: that's odd... does everything look ok in system > Preferences > Sound? [02:48] Jack_Sparrow: then reinstalled and same error as before [02:48] i wonder if it comes because of this last xorg stuff [02:49] does anyone know? [02:49] robert_: for what it's worth i got sick of ktorrent like a week ago and switched to deluge, i'm much happier now [02:49] Are there any good equivalents to the program Netlimiter for Ubuntu? [02:49] yea... all tests in system > prefs > sound work fine [02:49] thanks for the help....its called sunbird, but its what i was looking for === blu4U is now known as bluman2 [02:49] i won that battle :) [02:49] ooh [02:49] nownot: It looks like you installed something from outside the repos that messed up the dependencies. [02:49] Ademan, got a link? [02:49] i went back & uninstalled the packages... but its still broken [02:49] When is Hardy heron released? [02:49] Jack_Sparrow: is there a way to fix it? [02:49] chewd: that's all i know. thankfully sond has always worked well for me. good luck [02:49] thanks :) [02:49] Fraser_Scotland: mid-april, i believe [02:49] robert_: well it's called "deluge-torrent" in the repositories, i think it might even be deluge-torrent.net [02:49] shayne maybe you can visit #networking and ask the gurus there? using iproute2 tools [02:49] How do I set up GRUB so WinXP is the default boot OS? [02:50] Fraser_Scotland: 8.04 = 2008/04 [02:50] Fraser_Scotland: april [02:50] cool thanks [02:50] kk [02:50] bkar: good idea [02:50] thanks [02:50] nownot: Not without knowing what you installed and how you installed it.. How much have you done or installed outside apt-get etc? [02:50] i think it has something to do with my onboard sound (disabled in bios but still showing up in ubuntu) [02:50] this is what I get when trying to install unrar: The following packages have unmet dependencies: [02:50] sun-java6-bin: Depends: sun-java6-jre (= 6-03-0ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed [02:50] E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). [02:50] any fix available? [02:50] Jack_Sparrow: crap load ......... this sucks [02:50] twiztr: gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [02:50] robert_: it's deluge-torrent.org, sorry, the other one's wrong lol [02:50] twiztr-> umm, in your menu.lst just point the defaul x to the entry of your windows [02:50] twizter: try qgrubeditor. look on google for it. nice gui to change grub. [02:51] !java [02:51] 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) [02:51] actually... in sound prefs... the tests in devices all work.. but in the sounds tab.. nothing [02:51] hi 2 all [02:51] new1: hey [02:51] thank you ubotu [02:52] how the hell!! does one use compiz to make stuff like a 3d cube [02:52] Need to do some work... but wont be far... [02:52] zachalink: ubotu is a bot, btw. still good to give thanks tho... [02:52] im not here to ask for help or anythung, just love ubuntu and dropping by 2 say hi :) [02:52] new1: that's good [02:52] twiztr-> basically instead of default 0 maybe point it to default 5 assuming your windows is the 6th entry [02:52] !cube [02:52] Compiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware.

[02:53] np [02:53] Jack_Sparrow: as in sudo apt-get remove --purge ABC [02:53] nownot: It does what you think.. but wont fix what you have wrong [02:53] guys [02:53] im an idiot [02:53] so... theres no way to roll back the changes i made today? [02:53] i installed 8.04 some time back [02:53] twiztr-> or if you look at the /boot/grub/default make the contents of this point to where windows boot image is [02:54] chewd: Not unless you made a backup [02:54] without realizing that I was on AMD64 [02:54] i think that is why my cd burning always fails [02:54] and my dvd burning fails [02:54] and everything is clunky [02:54] are you using a 32 bit version of ubuntu ? [02:54] yeah [02:54] chewd: not that i know of. sorry. [02:54] the normal x386 install [02:55] when I get to the configuring sun-java6-jre page, how do I press ok and move on? [02:55] there should be no problem there, i have amd64 and i've alway used 32 bit version, without any problems [02:55] zachalink: tab and space/enter [02:55] zachalink-> come again? [02:55] well [02:55] oreth: that shouldn';t have any bad effects. just not any of the advantages of 64-bit. cd burning should work fine. [02:55] ty [02:55] dman: :( [02:55] it always fails [02:55] same for DVD burning [02:55] are you using braesero ? [02:55] hmmm [02:55] as well as general clunkyness id idn't see in 7.10 640bit [02:55] oreth: your problem is more likely to be that 8.04 isn't generally released yet, it is in the testing phase. if you need help with 8.04, you need to join #ubuntu+1 [02:56] er.. 64-bit [02:56] astro76-> there is such thing as configuring sun-java6-jre ? how? [02:56] perhaps if i go through synaptic & remove the stuff i installed [02:56] hello guys. [02:56] what is pulse-audio anyway? [02:56] oreth: yeah, what robdig said. that's most likely your problem. a bug [02:56] well then [02:56] how about this question [02:56] chewd: that might help. [02:56] bkar: iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 80 -j MARK --set-mark 4 [02:56] how do I roll back to 7.10 without wiping all my information? [02:57] dman: thats what i installed & made everything stop working [02:57] seriously... re-isntalling WoW is becoming a PAIN in the ASS [02:57] oreth: back up first. lol [02:57] okay its uninstalled.. time for reboot.. wish me luck :) [02:57] chewd: good luck! [02:57] hi how can i connet a wireless?? [02:57] good luck :) [02:57] shayne-> that just marks a packet, to tell it to use which route table is? [02:58] what are the advantages of using the 64-bit install? [02:58] what does server install of ubuntu really install? [02:58] bkar: ip route add table 4 default via 192.168.1.1 dev br0 [02:58] ip rule add fwmark 4 table 4 [02:58] hey [02:58] can someone help me install ubuntu [02:58] oreth: a bit more preformace on 64bit machines.. but normally nor worth the hassle for most desktop users. [02:58] bkar: when you install you are asked to read a license, zachalink installed it through the command line [02:58] oreth, there's not a whole lot other than the "Hey I'm using x64 aspect" unless you're doing serious crypto/scientific number crunching [02:58] oreth: faster speeds on encoding, archiving, etc. stuff like that. lets you use more ram. downside is much less compatibility [02:58] oreth, basicly you wont notice a thing, except for the bugs :P [02:59] quick question: Has anyone succesfully installed vmware-server in 64bit gutsy? What version is the best, 1.02 1.03 1.03? I've googled alot but hard to find answer. [02:59] new1: nice [02:59] astro76-> ah okay, i didnt understood him at first [02:59] oh [02:59] well, i'm a dev [02:59] shayne-> way cool.. [02:59] pizzel: no gui, server optimized core, server packages, etc... [02:59] would I see any significant performance upgrades while compiling? [03:00] bkar: now i can download torrents from my phone connection, host websites over the cable modem, and not disturb traffic :) [03:00] oreth: I don't understand the hating on 64-bit. I'm using it on the desktop and haven't noticed any major problems. [03:00] I cannot play live raido can anyone help [03:00] oreth, 64 bit architecture is slower than 32, most of your apps will run faster in 32 bit. 64 bit has real advantage when it comes to address space, if you have 32 GB of RAM you're using 64 bit, [03:00] oreth: i doubt it. not enough to make it worth the hassle yet. [03:00] ushimitsudoki: untill one does hit you and stops you dead in the water.... [03:00] how much ram can 32bit handle? [03:00] *not much slower, but slower in more programs than faster [03:01] speedcore: 4gigs [03:01] shayne you are more advance than i in using iproute2 ..neat [03:01] speedcore: 4gb, but more than 1bg of that is internal, so about 3gb max [03:01] hey i got it working again.. had to uninstall & reinstall totem [03:01] hello there [03:01] need help [03:01] I noticed higher latency in the gutsy menus with 64 then with 32 [03:01] guess ill just have to learn to live with totem [03:01] chewd: nice =] [03:01] ok [03:01] how can i roll back to 7.10 from 8.04? [03:01] just wish it had some more config options [03:01] oreth: reinstall [03:01] oreth: i dont think you can. [03:01] im using ubuntu gutsy and have a sony ericsson mobile phone, and i want to use it to connect to the internet, can somebody help me [03:01] Dr_Willis: well, all i can say is i have all the applications running I need, and I then only time 64 bit has even came up is because of Flash ... I'm sure other people have other experiences, it just seems to me there's a lot of FUD around the 64-bit edition [03:01] oreth: i don't think you can. just back up, then reinstall [03:01] are there skins for totem? [03:01] oreth uh... reinstall totally [03:02] !downgrade [03:02] will it wipe my drive? [03:02] Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [03:02] oreth: i dont think you can the way you want to [03:02] oreth, yes [03:02] ushimitsudoki: flash is its own worst enemy.. :) [03:02] FRICK [03:02] :/ [03:02] Dr_Willis: Now i will certainly agree to that! :) [03:02] hello, does anyone know how I can change the default number of periods per buffer that alsa uses? [03:02] oreth: sorry, but that's how it is =[ [03:02] i can't get my dvd shrink to work properly :( [03:02] Why do people upgrade computers they NEED to testing distros? [03:02] willis... what flash? adobe? [03:02] i don't get it! [03:02] krazytekn0: this is my home computer... [03:02] ushimitsudoki: theres a lot of claims about it also thats unproven. - I dont bother. I got no benifits from it.. and i dont want to troubleshoot the variantions. I say in 2 years 64bit will be the standard. [03:02] i don't NEED it [03:03] as I have 3 others [03:03] krazytekn0: a person with that nick asking that question? Must be an old nick [03:03] work time for me.. I gotta run. [03:03] krazytekn0: not sure. i don't, which is why this runs gutsy 32-bit. stable, and fast [03:03] it's just.. this one is my desktop [03:03] I have an integrated sound board, and some apps let me switch to 3 periods. Mic works better that way. [03:03] my sound... disappeared [03:03] what the heck happened [03:03] oreth: it happens. you'll know better next itme.

Is there any way to get the default files installed again? [03:40] etfb: I can tell you the first thing you should do: unplug it, run tail -f /var/log/syslog in a terminal, and plug it in. You'll get some diagnostic messages [03:40] usr13: so is that it? should I just assume all is well? [03:40] atomdog2003-> enter those settings in /etc/networking/interfaces [03:40] bkar: ah [03:40] anybody know how to make a file open with an app installed through wine? [03:41] atomdog2003: You shouldn't have to.

[03:41] atomdog2003: I just find the command line options earsier to tell about here. [03:42] monitor not monitot [03:42] xenthro: you use the app name (and it's arguments if needed) as argument to wine [03:42] awesome I can ssh into it now so I don't have to run from one room to the other when you give me instructions [03:42] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3611752 bcarm17 seems to be a bug; a possible workaround is mentioned at that link [03:42] atomdog2003: Very good.

No built in system-tools that can be helpful? :( [03:49] it only does it in AMD computers [03:50] no luck [03:50] Strangelet: No...I wish I knew because I have the exact same problem with Japanese.

Hopefully a perfect solution will arise :) [03:51] i dont really use windows [03:51] that scim bug can be fixed by editing the scim file in your home directory - I don't remember how exactly though [03:52] bazhag: I dont really use windows mostly for gaming and sound lol [03:52] Hey, I want to watch a movie via an s-video cable to my TV.

[05:07] and thats what makes english so flexible as a language also [05:07] hey can i pm someone? im a noob having installation troubles [05:07] bullgard4: you can try dmesg too [05:07] agreenmac: just ask here [05:08] Hajuu... english is NOT a flexible language. [05:08] agreenmac: Yea just ask. [05:08] Hajuu: Thank you very much. [05:08] toes that info help you diagnostic anything? [05:08] Hajuu... ever try python :P [05:08] ok so i get to the orange progress bar and that loads all the way but after it loads the screen just goes blank [05:08] farruinn: I am using dmesg often. Thank you. [05:09] zriyac its a start [05:09] agreenmac: Umm... This actually happened to me recently about a graphics card / drivers problem. [05:09] xenthro: hehh yeah.. ever try SPEAKING python? :P [05:09] agreenmac: but that might not be the problem. [05:09] elevator_hazard - what do u suggest i do [05:09] bullgard4: what's that german word? [05:09] can fsck check ntfs? [05:09] what is the command for me to replace my kde widgets please? just the widgets [05:09] agreenmac, when the screen goes blank are you about to got the terminal (ctrl-alt-f1) [05:09] zriyac something to experiment with in the clubs [05:09] agreenmac: Hmm... Well so it doesn't go into safe graphics mode? [05:09] Hi, I'm trying to set up IRCD and have a few questions. First, how do I connect to it from a remote machine? Do I have to do any special setup? [05:09] squarebracket: I don't think so [05:10] agreenmac, about/able/ [05:10] tsrk: depends on the ircd [05:10] Hajuu something to experiment with in the clubs [05:10] The package is ircd-hybrid [05:10] hahah [05:10] Should I use something different? [05:10] zriyac sorry ignore that last [05:10] agreenmac: spdf seems to know more than me, go with that :D [05:10] no i get some weird text after the orange progress bar [05:10] Starnestommy: is there something that can? long story short my windows partitions won't boot anymore. [05:10] aRyn_: "Startmeldungen" [05:10] agreenmac: oh what's it say? [05:10] agreenmac, weird text? an error message? [05:10] can anyone help me with setting up a basic ethernet network? Im just using an uber generic realtek network card which definately works under linux but when I put it in.. It doesnt appear in my lspci at all.. [05:10] tsrk: there's something you need to edit in /etc/ircd-hybrid/ircd.conf [05:10] Ok, I'll look through that [05:11] squarebracket: try asking ##windows [05:11] I'm really new to this stuff [05:11] bullgard4: eh, and what does it mean? [05:11] tsrk: once it's configured, oper up then do /quote connect server.name [05:11] and remember to rehash the ircd after editing the config [05:11] Hajuu: does the card work in another system/on another computer? Does it work in a different PCI slot? [05:12] hold on ill tell u in a sec [05:12] what it says [05:12] ive tried two cards, both should work and one I used just the other day [05:12] I just had my laptop lock up, the CAPS lock and the Scroll Lock were blink. is this significant? if so what does it mean? [05:12] i'll go now to ubuntu again, and play with insmod and stuff, then i'll come to share the errors [05:12] tsrk: i am new too, so youre not alone [05:12] Hajuu: So two different cards and neither show up in lspci? Did you try different slots? [05:12] devtrash SAME! it happens all the time and i dont know why [05:12] Hello, any idea how to see if this signature is correct? I get that [05:12] aRyn_: I means all the status messages that appear on one's screen at the beginning, just after switching on the Ubuntu computer before a login screen appears. [05:12] gpg --verify signature.asc [05:12] gpg: no signed data [05:12] gpg: can't hash datafile: file open error [05:12] ok im starting in safe mode [05:13] aRyn_: It means all the status messages that appear on one's screen at the beginning, just after switching on the Ubuntu computer before a login screen appears. [05:13] devtrash and i also have no frigin idea and cant find any info [05:13] agreenmac: is that safe mode or recovery mode..? [05:13] Elevator_Hazard: safe mode [05:13] graphical safe mode [05:13] off the live cd [05:13] devtrash: my num-lock key locks when OS dies, noramally it wouldnt [05:13] agreenmac, Ahh, you're booting the live cd [05:14] agreenmac: oh [05:14] Elevator_Hazard: yeah [05:14] Starnestommy, what do you mean "oper up"? And how do I restart ircd after changing the conf file? [05:14] agreenmac: is there a problem finding drivers and does it ask you to tell it your video card drivers and/or monitor stuff? [05:14] Elevator_Hazard: ok so the orange progress bar loads and the screen goes blank [05:14] tsrk: did you add an o:line or oper section to ircd.conf? [05:14] agreenmac: no safe graphics mode? [05:14] Elevator_Hazard: then it saws running local boot scripts along with a couple of other things [05:14] Nope [05:15] Do I need to? [05:15] Elevator_Hazard: im in safe graphics user mode [05:15] tsrk: yes [05:15] agreenmac: Any dialogs pop up? [05:15] agreenmac: have you tried to start in Recovery Mode ? if so , you can type something there that will re-detect your video [05:15] Ok, I'll try that. Thanks [05:15] Elevator_Hazard: starting deferred execution schduler atd [05:15] Elevator_Hazard: starting periodic command scheduler crond [05:16] Elevator_Hazard: checking batter state... [05:16] Elevator_Hazard: and running local boot scripts [05:16] bullgard4: ah, ok, thanks. Is there a way to log them? === W6JCN is now known as Ttech [05:16] Starnestommy, There's an "opers" class, is that what I need? [05:16] Elevator_Hazard: they all say [OK] next to them [05:16] And an operator section [05:16] and it looks like i can type stuff in [05:16] agreenmac: well, that's good I suppose, does it do anything else now? [05:16] But I didn't add it, it was already there. [05:16] tsrk: look in the operator section and edit it [05:16] Elevator_Hazard: yeah i can type stuff [05:17] agreenmac: hit enter [05:17] Ok [05:17] hm, but I think we have a word for it, like bootup-messages or something like that [05:17] Elevator_Hazard: nothing happend [05:17] agreenmac: nickrud knows what's up :D [05:17] bullgard4: hm, but I think we have a word for it, like bootup-messages or something like that [05:17] how to run .cpkg files? [05:17] Elevator_Hazard: i hit enter and the little blinking thing just moved down [05:17] agreenmac: that's the normal boot process, you should be able to hit enter and see a login [05:18] aRyn_: For some yes, for others not. Particularly some at the very beginning I cannot log. This is because Ubuntu 7.10 has switched off a logging daemon. I do not remember its name at the moment. [05:18] LOL WTF.. Ok so neither of them would work on their own, even in different slots.. but if I put BOTH in together, neither in the original slot.. both work. [05:18] nickrud - i dont see anything [05:18] How.. very... strange. [05:18] nickrud, how to run .cpkg files? [05:18] agreenmac: hit alt-f2 do you see a login there [05:18] So, I made some changes to ircd.conf, how do I restart IRCD? (Or do I not have to?) [05:18] penol: no idea, not sure what that is [05:18] i see a command prompt i think nickrud [05:18] tsrk: do sudo invoke-rc.d ircd-hybrid restart [05:18] Hajuu: a bad slot? [05:18] agreenmac: you should see login: === Jannitax is now known as Jannit [05:19] Ah, ok, thanks === Jannit is now known as Jannita [05:19] nickrud - i see ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ [05:19] and i can type [05:19] tsrk: once it's restarted, connect to it, then do /oper username password. After opering up, just type /quote rehash to reload the config from then on [05:19] agreenmac: ok. Is this the live cd? [05:19] nickrud: he's booting off livecd by the way [05:19] nickrud - yeah [05:19] bullgard4: And how to log the possible ones? (what's about "bootup-messages" or "booting mess."?) :> [05:19] Ok, slight problem when restarting it: Restarting Hybrid 7 IRC Server: ircd-hybridinvoke-rc.d: initscript ircd-hybrid, action "restart" failed. [05:20] agreenmac: then the livecd and your video card don't get along. What video card do you have? [05:20] hi guys, [05:20] does anybody know where libc is in ubuntu [05:20] i have a dell dimension 2100... im a totall noob i have no idea [05:20] nano__: it's libc6 in ubuntu [05:20] agreenmac, likely intel [05:20] tsrk: try sudo /etc/init.d/ircd-hybrid stop; sudo /etc/init.d/ircd-hybrid start [05:20] nickrud - yeah im pretty sure its intel [05:20] nickrud: where about is it? [05:21] agreenmac: type lspci | grep -i vga , it will spit back a line telling you what it is [05:21] Ok, thanks, that worked [05:21] nano__: different parts are found in different places ... what are you trying to do? [05:21] agreenmac, yep i810e integrated video [05:22] well, there are only 2 main parts....the source files and the headers right.? [05:22] everyone having a good night? [05:22] spdf: you know intel well? cuz I sure don't [05:22] nickrud it says compatible controller [05:22] nickrud geforce4 mx 4000 [05:22] spdf: heh [05:22] agreenmac, Is the onboard video disabled? [05:22] how do I bind say eth0 to a specific network card? [05:23] nickrud: how do i figure that out [05:23] nickrud: Back to the sound issue I had about USB Audio - some sounds that KDE makes like the intro sound go through my USB Audio... [05:23] agreenmac: check your bios , you have to boot to it. [05:23] ok [05:23] what is the comand the folder root?? [05:23] nickrud: really weird... [05:23] nano__: libc.so.6 should be in /lib [05:23] pipehh: what are you trying to do? [05:23] nickrud: ok so im in the BIOS [05:24] agreenmac, Poke around in there, being mindful not to change anything, and look for somethign along the lines of "ONBOARD VGA" [05:24] jeffMasterFlex: thnx [05:24] agreenmac: I don't know your bios, you'll have to look through it for anything about the video. And spdf seems to know that machine [05:24] [05:24] Mmhh ... Putting a new panel [05:25] in add to panel [05:25] spdf: i got into the video config and theres one thing there, primary video adapter. i clicked on that on theres 2 options. onboard adn PCI [05:25] pipehh: when you right click on your panel, select "add new panel" [05:25] nano__: if you're looking for the headers, you need to install build-essential (and I missed it earlier, no nick and too many convo's ) [05:25] spdf: should i choose onboard or PCI?? [05:25] Hello. [05:25] agreenmac, PCI [05:25] nickrud: thnx [05:26] spdf: ok thats what was chosen in the first place [05:26] I need to know where the sudoers file is. [05:26] meusterus: /etc/sudoers [05:26] how can I tell which network card is eth0 and which is eth1? [05:26] And how do I edit it from command prompt? [05:26] Does anyone know how to get USB Audio sound to work? What's weird is that I can get sound through my speakers and when I went into KDE earlier today I would get the intro sound from kubuntu and a few other sounds kubuntu did to go through my USB Audio. [05:26] StaticVector: although adding a user to the admin group also works [05:26] spdf: anything else i need to check while im in here? [05:26] does anyone know how to install songbird? [05:26] meusterus: note that you should always edit it using the "visudo" command [05:26] I'm giving a computer to my sis with ubuntu preinstalled... trouble is, gnome allows to suspend and hibernate. Suspend is fine, but hibernate crashes on resume; any way to disable hibernate entirelly? [05:26] Hajuu: mac address? [05:26] StaticVector: whoops [05:26] Ah. [05:26] meusterus: although adding a user to the admin group also works [05:26] But I dont know which card has which address heh [05:26] Hajuu: or, plug one in, see if it connects? :) [05:26] ive got two [05:26] Elevator_Hazard: alsa is comples and over my head, I wasn't ignoring you :) [05:26] nickrud: actually i don't think i need build-essential for headers........i would need libc6-dev [05:27] Hajuu: the mac should be printed on it [05:27] and for some reason each one only works if the other is in [05:27] I say not as aceder the root folder with a command but a panel firefox [05:27] agreenmac, I see a post on ubuntuforums from Dec with someone having the same problem with the Mx4000 [05:27] nickrud: heh yea you did mention USB Audio stuff was a pain to troubleshoot, just thought that was weird. [05:27] hello again... [05:27] nano__: if you want the headers, you want a compiler and probably make as well. build-essential will get you the headers and a basic compiling environment [05:27] sudo rmmod 8139too [05:27] sudo rmmod 8139cp [05:27] sudo modprobe 8139cp [05:27] Starnestommy: I guess you're being helpful to me specifically, so.....is it possible to install and run GNOME on server edition? [05:27] sudo ifconfig eth0 up [05:27] pipehh: you need to rephrase what you want to do, because I am not sure what you mean [05:27] eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device [05:27] !enter | zriyac [05:27] zriyac: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:28] meusterus: the package is either gnome-desktop or ubuntu-desktop [05:28] well... earlier i pasted them all together... [05:28] and i was disconnected [05:28] can someone help me install songbird? [05:28] agreenmac, You could try enabling the onboard, and attaching your monitor to that and booting. It appears there's a driver issue that might be resolved after you do a full install [05:28] zriyac: pastebin..? [05:28] zriyac: use a pastebin if you need to paste something [05:29] Starnestommy I installed package gnome and it was about 100 mb, will it automatically enter a desktop environment when I restart then? [05:29] [05:29] Mhh .. Not already found xD [05:29] !pastebin | zriyac [05:29] zriyac: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

[05:29] meusterus: it starts gdm on startup [05:29] Clueless: you can install the songbird deb file by downloading it from www.getdeb.net [05:29] spdf: whats enabling the onboard? (sorry for the noobines) [05:29] pastebin... it is something that all IRC clients implement? [05:29] Starnestommy: OK thanks you've been a lot of help. [05:29] i'm in windows now... [05:29] i use MIRC [05:29] spdf: oh is it in the video config? [05:29] zriyac its a website. [05:30] agreenmac, changing from PCI to Onboard, and plugging your monitor cable into the other port [05:30] zriyac: see what ubotu just said [05:30] agreenmac, then check uot http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=84298 [05:30] agreenmac, mind you, those instructions are for edgy. I'll see if I can find something for feisty [05:30] zriyac: you should probably also install xchat , anything addressed to you will be in red so you don't miss it [05:30] Clueless: http://www.getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=songbird === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [05:31] i was trying to save a document in OOo writer and entered a directory, then renamed the directory in nautilus and OOo writer crashed [05:31] zriyac: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org you upload your message there and then give us in irc the url to that uploaded message. [05:31] what can i use to edit a pdf file [05:31] i want to tri-boot ubuntu in osx (not through bootcamp) any help/advice? [05:31] ok, 10x [05:31] is my problem a known bug or something? [05:31] viator: pdf editor [05:31] viator: OpenOffice.org Writer? [05:31] spdf: thanks a lot [05:32] Starnestommy: So does shutting down matter with a command line? Because I don't know of a command other than exit, and that just seems to log me out. [05:32] spdf: im trying on the onboard [05:32] merci [05:32] i was trying to save a document in OOo writer and entered a directory, then renamed the directory in nautilus and OOo writer crashed - is it a known bug? [05:32] meusterus: sudo telinit 0 or sudo shutdown -h now? [05:32] why do they make evince the viewer but ut cant edit lol [05:33] or should i ask this in an OOo support place instead? [05:33] viator: pdf files are made specifically not to be edited [05:33] agreenmac, It should boot fine. It appears that MX4000 requires legacy drivers, and is a bit of a chore to get working [05:33] BoltClock: oo.o and some other programs have trouble with directories being renamed while they're running since no signals are sent saying they've moved or where they've moved [05:33] viator: it is a publishing format, not an editing format [05:33] spdf: its working on the onboard!!

[05:34] Starnestommy: i see... i should check out what windows apps do when i do the same there [05:34] spdf: i guess ill wait [05:34] agreenmac, It'll take a minute to load everything up [05:34] meusterus: there are probably others who will be able to help [05:35] spdf: kk i im in. should i install from here? [05:35] agreenmac, Yep, there'll be a link on the desktop [05:35] can anybody help me with that error? http://pastebin.com/m2d6da9c1 [05:35] spdf: ok thanks for everything! [05:35] hey, is there a way to run a programe five seconds after login? [05:35] yes, crontab [05:35] What is the command line to edit a file?

[05:38] ok... 10x [05:38] meusterus: gnome doesn't write xorg.conf . if you'd like to automatically make a new xorg.conf run the following " sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" [05:38] zriyac: run a dxdiag command? [05:39] zriyac: that's a windows command. [05:39] zriyac: well no I don't know don't listen to me... [05:39] <_gtt_> i cant get quanta to accept my font color settings for the editor.

[05:49] I'm giving a computer with ubuntu preinstalled... trouble is, gnome allows to suspend and hibernate. Suspend is fine, but hibernate crashes on resume; any way to disable hibernate entirelly? [05:50] i thought it was uuid? [05:50] should I install Fedora 8 64 [05:50] viator: thats what i thought too... [05:50] So I installed gnome on server edition, but how do I get it to start up like the desktop edition? I don't know that I could work with the command line. [05:50] mwalling: neither. Grub uses its own notation [05:50] tritium: LABEL? [05:50] How could I creat password for archive tar or zip files?! [05:50] EcoBlue: why would you ask that here? [05:50] meusterus: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [05:50] anyone know if any net attacks are going on? seems like parts of the wire are down [05:50] Thanks. [05:50] zriyac: try reloading 8139too [05:51] 10x [05:51] anything else? [05:51] Holy shut! 850 mb? [05:51] i'm in windows now... [05:51] tritium: why wouldn't I [05:51] zriyac, does 'sudo modprobe rtl8139' do anything for you? [05:51] i didn't tried [05:51] EcoBlue: this is a channel for ubuntu [05:51] i'll try [05:51] 10x [05:51] meusterus: if you still have the cd as a source it will get a lot of that from the cd [05:52] tritium: and I'm asking for your opinions on ubuntu as compared to fedora [05:52] Hello, somehow metacity is not loading at gnome start, is there someway to get it to load? [05:52] zcat[1]: Am doing, hope it won't get too much through the internet. [05:52] errr.. if you have the alt CD as a source I guess.. [05:52] zriyac, you may need to compile the module for that card [05:52] I like ubuntu, but I wouldn't want to install on my desktop due to lack of being a dvd [05:52] Do you know how could I creat password for archive tar or zip files?! [05:52] do an lspci and see what it has listed for your network card [05:53] EcoBlue: ubuntu comes on a single install CD [05:53] EcoBlue: ubuntu install disc is a cd [05:53] EcoBlue: huh? it's not a DVD, it's an OS! [05:53] I see the file in medibuntu.com how do I get it? [05:53] EcoBlue: but you can get a DVD [05:53] bahman: tar/gzip/bzip2 don't support passwords [05:53] EcoBlue: creat a CD instead! [05:53] Roky: did you follow the repo instructions in the link i sent you? [05:53] DVD contains more, so CD's are bad [05:53] Starnestommy: But what about zip files?! [05:54] zcat[1]: I know it's an OS, it's not contained on a DVD so it's worse [05:54] EcoBlue: so get the DVD [05:54] yes but the lnk on the page wont open [05:54] ad medibunto to your sources list [05:54] bahman: I don't use zip, so I wouldn't know, but I think they might [05:54] EcoBlue: I agree ;) [05:54] s/they/it/ [05:54] tritium: where? do I have to order it? [05:54] Roky: scroll down to where it says "adding the repositories" [05:54] bahman: although it is a livecd and installs way faster [05:54] EcoBlue: I don't think there's that much more on the C\DVD .. mostly server and alt installs. I don't think it actually installs any other packages from DVD by default. [05:54] EcoBlue: CDs aren't bad. More users, parcticularly with older hardware, have access to CDs and not DVDs. [05:55] How could I creat password for archive zip files?! [05:55] tritium: well then linux users should get with the program [05:55] ecotroll? [05:55] EcoBlue: we support everyone, not just those with DVD drives [05:56] jeffMASTERflex: environmental troll? [05:56] I can't figure if eco is arguing for or against DVD distros ... Ubuntu has both, either way we win! [05:56] I've an analog volume control on my keyboard, when I turn it, ubuntu detects it and shows a volume meter going up and down, however, its not my actual volume adjusting... how doi tie this in to my actual volume control? [05:56] EcoBlue: please stay on topic. [05:56] need help with network-admin for wifi?? [05:56] there is no "winning" it's an os [05:56] bahman: 'man zip' probably explains (search for password using /password). But you could just use gpg to encrypt whatever file you want including a tar [05:56] !gpgp > bahman (read the private message from ubotu) [05:56] tritium: Is 64bit even decent [05:57] slap you a bia [05:57] I've stayed a safe distance away from 64bit, had a few too many bad experiences [05:57] EcoBlue: if you want the DVD: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/7.10/release/ubuntu-7.10-dvd-i386.iso [05:57] ahh thanks jeff [05:57] the only problem I have with the 64-bit version is IcedTea, a Java implementation, keeps segfaulting [05:58] Hello, somehow metacity is not loading at gnome start, is there someway to get it to load? [05:58] need help with network-admin for wifi?? [05:58] can get my network to default on boot-up [05:58] Junkee: you may need to reinstall gnome or metacity === Johnson_ is now known as smithers === smithers is now known as smitherss [05:58] Starnestommy: ouch [05:58] EcoBlue: did you see the URL for the DVD? [05:59] has anyone else had their gnome do extensions stop working? [05:59] EcoBlue: 64bit is fine until you want to use non-free stuff like flash or w32codecs .. then it can get a bit complex. This is not as bad as it used to be but I still run 32bit on 64bit cpu's [05:59] zcat[1]: there are w64codecs, however [06:00] tritium: not for everything though (just compare the package size) [06:00] 64 bit is a pain to use and only worthwhile for system with 4+ GBs of RAM [06:00] w32codecs and flash work fine for me, it's just java applets that aren't working. Java-based programs like Eclipse work fine, though, so I think it's a plugin problem [06:00] tritium: ye [06:00] Starnestommy: i am going to try adding it to my sessions as a startup program, maybe that will help, im going to reboot to see for sure === [1]rootkit is now known as rootkit [06:00] another question, is ubuntu as good at sharing files as windows [06:00] tritium: yeah, and wrappers to run 32bit code on a 64bit system.. it's getting to the point where it's _almost_ as easy as pure 32-bit .. but not quite there I think, yet.. [06:00] EcoBlue: it supports more protocols than windows does. [06:00] can get my network to default on boot-up [06:00] can't get my network to default on boot-up [06:00] zcat[1]: I agree, it's not there yet [06:01] jeff, I found and installed it but it still didn't work [06:01] tritium: on windows I can right click share and know that it will work perfect [06:01] I added the repo and got it but same error [06:01] lazy247x: you might need to manually edit /etc/network/interfaces as root [06:01] ok -- i think i tryed that -- let me check [06:01] EcoBlue: on linux I can right-click 'share' and it will go ahead and install samba for me, and then share it.. [06:01] would you recommend ubuntu 64 or x86 on a c2d machine? [06:02] EcoBlue: do you have a question? [06:02] makers_mark: 32bit unless you know exactly why you need 64bit [06:02] zcat[1]: will it work with Windows? [06:02] tritium: I've been asking them [06:02] EcoBlue: and I answered them. [06:02] woohoo that worked [06:02] Thanks jrib ;) [06:02] metacity loaded this time [06:02] Roky: i don't know what to tell you. libdvdcss2 is the library that decodes dvd movies. i play dvd's all the time thanks to it. try also installing libdvdnav and libdvdread [06:02] jrib so the 64 won't work more efficiently on a c2d? === W6JCN is now known as Ttech [06:02] what's the command that you type to track what computers a ping/request goes through? [06:02] bullgard4? [06:02] FYI, traceroute? [06:02] FYI: traceroute? [06:02] makers_mark: I would reccomend 32bit still .. but others are using 64bit and not having any major problems. [06:03] can anyone explain how my logitech keyboard's shortcut for calculator actually works in ubuntu with no configuration? hah [06:03] spdf, starnestormmy: thanks [06:03] aRyn: pong [06:03] can't believe I forgot that [06:03] bullgard4: ping [06:03] akorn, mine too :D Microsoft [06:03] makers_mark: not that you will notice [06:03] akorn, must be some kind of standard [06:03] How could I edit pdf files in Ubuntu?! [06:03] spdf so weird eh? but the other shortcuts don't work except volume and probably pause/play [06:04] bahman: openoffice.org writer can do it, I think [06:04] zcat[1] jrib thanks. [06:04] spdf yea probably; i already found it crazy enough that the volume dial on mine works too hah [06:04] EcoBlue: I've used samba with windows clients before. it's not that hard. [06:04] akorn, the ones that dont work might have some weird scan codes [06:04] bullgard4: could you answer my remaining questions plz, would be great :) [06:04] spdf scan codes? i'm not that smart haha [06:04] is anyone else experiencing extremely slow dl times for ubuntu updates right now? [06:04] aRyn: one sec pls [06:04] bahman: pdf files are made specifically not to be edited. it is a publishing format, not an editing format. PDFEdit should be able to do it though [06:04] akorn, System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts.. Try to set one up [06:04] spdf i'm running a laptop and i have this keyboard attached via usb, but it doesn't work at the GRUB boot menu (sometimes i boot into windows)....but it works at the login for ubuntu; any ideas? [06:04] bullgard4: sure. take all the time u need ;) [06:05] i am having trouble mounting my floppy disk [06:05] akorn, sometimes theres a BIOS setting for usb stuff related to mice/keyboards [06:05] if someone can help me [06:05] it is usb floppy drive [06:05] spdf yea i was thinkign that might be it; i didn't notice these keyboard shortcuts here! nice [06:05] any help on tri-booting in osx without vm or bootcamp? [06:06] what is this? [06:06] akorn, if the key isn't recognized (doesn't do anything when you press it during the capture) then its some weird scan code, and you've got to do some magic to get 'em to work [06:06] spdf thanks a lot; actually all of them are registering :D [06:07] is this like a service chat? [06:07] akorn, nice [06:07] how do you free ports in ubuntu? [06:07] spdf do you know how i can add my own keyboard shortcut for custom programs (i.e. skype)? [06:07] brandon, more or less.. community of people providing support for ubuntu.. [06:07] ok. [06:07] FYI: stop whatever process is using them? [06:07] akorn: system/preferences/keyboard shortcuts [06:07] akorn, I'm just ssh'd in, so I can't see my desktop. but I believe there's a way to launch a custom launcher [06:07] is there any way to burn dvd player playable dvds in ubuntu? [06:07] cause Im having problems with hearing anything, there is no sound [06:07] Flughafen: qdvdauthor [06:08] brandon, check your volume settings and make sure that PCM and Master are both up [06:08] zcat[1], thanks [06:08] spdf hmm i'll just google it and stop being lazy haha [06:08] akorn, lol, okay [06:08] jeffMASTERflex yea but i don't see any place in there to add custom shortcuts hah [06:08] pcm and master? [06:08] So what exactly is the difference between Ubuntu server and desktop? [06:08] spdf alright i'm getting out of here...thanks a lot [06:09] Flughafen: or if you're lazy and just want one video on a disk that will play, devede .. it's insanely easy to drop a dvd on a disk with it, but it has bugs .. more than one video and it usually screws up the sound. [06:09] meusterus: server comes with all the server packages installed and setup by default [06:09] zcat[1], thanks again [06:09] how can i mount my usb floppy drive [06:10] jeffMASTERflex: I didn't mark the LAMP package for installation because of a confusion with spacebar/enter keys, how can I install it post-installation? [06:10] yea, the pcm and master are up. === mohitkumar is now known as m0hitkumar [06:10] meusterus: I think apt-get install ubuntu-lamp works [06:10] meusterus: manually install mysql, apache2, and php [06:10] brandon, Okay, System -> Prefrences -> Sound.. (sorry, i'm not on my desktop, going from memory). There should be options in there to select the default audio devices, and test them [06:11] hows is going [06:11] meusterus: i'm sure zcat has it right though [06:11] I love metapackages :) [06:11] What is the difference between MySQL and PostreSQL? [06:11] ok [06:11] interesting tid bit [06:11] meusterus: that is WAY beyond the scope of this channel [06:11] how could i get my webcam working [06:11] ubuntu-restricted-extras is a handy one to know as well [06:11] my father just purchased a 47 inch Philips LCD [06:12] it is open source [06:12] and runs linux [06:12] meusterus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postgres [06:12] Thanks Starnestommy but they could be edited! Adobe Acrobat have a program for editing pdf files in windows, I wanna do that in Ubuntu [06:13] postSQL is based off of oracle [06:13] what do i need to do to mount my floppy drive??

[06:13] you get the idea [06:13] if so what do i input to mount a usb floppy drive [06:13] can I safely comment out things in /etc/modprobe.d/aliases that I won't use? (such as ipv6 and appletalk protocols) [06:13] Starnestommy Wow I found PDF Editor but in KDE! [06:14] i cant find anything that works [06:14] aRyn: Re-reading the messages you directed to me I detect the only question open is: "And how to log the possible ones?" My answer is: "/etc/init.d/bootlogd Starts or stops the bootlogd log program which logs boot messages. It writes /var/log/boot (if the file /etc/default/bootlogd containes a line 'BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes'. [06:14] brandon, What type of card?

[06:32] btw, it is RoR-0.33d-linux.tar.bz2 if that helps [06:32] brambo, yep, I saw that on their site [06:32] ok [06:33] its there [06:33] If I add a network card it's seen before and does not require an added driver, will it add it as eth1 automatically? [06:33] brambo: You really want to play that biog rig game? lol [06:33] on desktop in a folder [06:33] badkitty: i don't want to complain but if this is top notch then.. well anyway [06:33] Really thank jeffMASTERflex PDF editor working good, but its in KDF interface [06:33] brambo, okay, one sec [06:33] i just wanna know how to install that so i can know how to install other things [06:33] computer13137: did it work before, not just seen ? === doseryder is now known as TO_Felony [06:33] mirdin76: what's the problem> [06:33] if i can get that i should be able to install other programs too [06:33] brambo, this isn't typical of how to install software on ubuntu [06:33] I *just* added it. :P [06:33] What does it mean, "Errors were encountered while processing: acpis, acpi-support, powermanagement-interface, ubuntu-desktop [06:33] brambo: there's probably a script named "configure" in it [06:33] mirdin76: Ok so when you installed xubuntu, did it give you an option to download the restricted graphics drivers? [06:33] http://www.bgevolution.com/blog/index.php/ubuntu-gutsy-w32codecs-and-w64codecs/ [06:33] Im new to linux and cant get this command line to work: sudo cp ~/downloads/alsa*. i get the following msg icp: missing destination file operand after `/home/fatedkiss/downloads/alsa*.'n term: [06:33] It's an Encore ENL832-TX-Rent [06:33] if it worked once, it should work again [06:34] Could you know to change the inteface of KDE programs to Gnome?! [06:34] meusterus: it couldn't install due to some sort of error [06:34] aRyn: Neither on my Ubuntu 7.10 computers bootlogd is automatically installed. This is also a problem for me which I have not solved. (It was installed in earlier Ubuntu releases. I guess this problem is caused by the introduction of Ubuntu's Upstart." [06:34] I never installed it until a few minutes ago missilecommander. [06:34] Totem/w32codecs issue: It is REALLY STRANGE that I can't get totem to play real media files after following instructions from http://www.bgevolution.com/blog/index.php/ubuntu-gutsy-w32codecs-and-w64codecs/ *** I have been using this EXACT METHOD from the EXACT website (aforementioned) many times and it worked until i tried it today. No video, just sound [06:34] what else should I try? [06:34] fatedkiss: cp is a copy command, you listed where you want to copy from, but not where you want to copy to [06:34] brambo, most applications are installed using apt [06:34] If it's in there when I install linux...will it be recognized? [06:34] badkitty: the problem is that the restricted driver in the repo is not the latest AND it has a known bug which just only causes any video I play to look as green and garbled as oscar the grouchs fur [06:34] Do you know how to change the inteface of KDE programs to Gnome?! [06:34] jeffMASTERflex, i just filed it as a bug on launchpad ;) [06:34] through Terminal window? [06:34] jeffMASTERflex: thank you [06:34] fatedkiss: its like this "sudo cp what_I_want_to_copy where_I_want_to_copy_to [06:35] should be a quick fix + mark resolved matter [06:35] bahman: it's either immposible or very hard because KDE uses Qt widgets, while Gnome uses GTK [06:35] how do i reprobe all the hardware in the sysmtem ? [06:35] mirdin76: Interesting I was unaware of this, can you download the latest driver elsewhere? [06:35] Anybody know what happened to the source-o-matic/ [06:35] ? [06:35] rockets: Automatix??? [06:35] automatix isn't recommended [06:35] spdf ? [06:35] !source-o-matic [06:36] source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic [06:36] Is there a utility for easy (one-click?) "internet connection sharing" in simple situations, as in Win XP? (7.10/Gutsy) [06:36] ahhhh [06:36] Yes I dont recommend Automatix either [06:36] thanks Starnestommy but I don't like the blue and open in one-click folders in KDE! [06:36] badkitty: all my problems would be solved if only they would put the newer driver in the repo - yeah from nvidia, driver 169.07, with instructions - which gives me some bizzarro error having to do with kernal configuration [06:37] can anyone help to me install this one program? [06:37] brambo: in the directory where you extracted it, is there a file called "configure"? [06:37] brambo, go into the directory and run RoRConfig [06:37] There's a difference between source-o-matic & Automatix. The first is a good tool, the second a great way to break your Ubuntu. [06:37] Run in Terminal ? [06:38] what format should audio files be in? mine are in mp3, could that be the problem? [06:38] brambo, if you'd like [06:38] mirdin76: Are you sure the problem is the driver and not say ... codecs? [06:38] anyone willing to tackle a vmware question? [06:38] workstation specifically. [06:38] df20fs: what u got [06:38] mirdin76: brandon mp3, ogg, flac, aac, they are all good [06:38] slapped in a wifi card; ath0 and tried bridging it to vmnet2 and i get.... [06:39] RoRConfig [06:39] ok, cause i hear nothing when playing my music [06:39] but it doesnt do anything [06:39] Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 done Host network detection done Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet2 failed [06:39] no [06:39] mp3 is bad [06:39] :) [06:39] when running vmware-config [06:39] for encoding, anyways [06:39] brandon: install the package "ubuntu-restricted-extrs" [06:39] brambo: cd to the directory and to ./RoRConfig? [06:39] extras* [06:39] no, from archive to my desktop in a folder [06:39] where can I get that? [06:39] ogg is good [06:39] df20fs: That I dont know :-( [06:40] futher into it [06:40] /usr/bin$ sudo ./vmnet-bridge -D /dev/vmnet2 ath0 [06:40] Turning on bridge to ath0... [06:40] ath0: Not a valid Ethernet interface [06:40] I mean egg [06:40] badkitty: pretty sure there's a bug with 169.04 nvidia that causes this. jeffMASTERflex, hmm, aren't those all music? yeah those are ok, it's mpeg2 that go weird [06:40] hm, thx anyways. [06:40] df20fs: uh [06:40] brandon: in the command line type "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" [06:40] aforementioned [06:40] df20fs: it doens't work with the atheros drivers [06:40] Totem/w32codecs issue: It is REALLY STRANGE that I can't get totem to play real media files after following instructions from http://www.bgevolution.com/blog/index.php/ubuntu-gutsy-w32codecs-and-w64codecs/ *** I have been using this EXACT METHOD from the EXACT website (aforementioned) many times and it worked until i tried it today. No video, just sound [06:40] df20fs: you can A. edit the source of the athreros drivers (not recommended) [06:40] df20fs: or B. use nat. [06:40] brambo, Don't bother with the terminal, just open up the folder you put on your desktop and click RoRConfig [06:40] shitbeans. [06:40] I messed with the drivers before and got it to work. [06:41] I did click the RoR config it don't seem to do anything [06:41] hmm.. [06:41] brambo, Like I said, this isn't how you "install" software on Ubuntu. [06:41] i'm usting patched madwifing's though. [06:41] brambo, Try RoRConfig.bin [06:41] df20fs: why is NAT not an option for you? [06:41] when I try to follow instructions for installing newest nvidia driver i get something about "nvidia.ko" and kernal - don't think I want to mess with that [06:41] i cant get my webcam working [06:41] its downloading [06:41] easier. [06:42] still nothing opened [06:42] just surprising why it doesn't work. [06:42] or still not worked into the code. [06:42] brambo, then I'm not sure what to tell you, I'm not familiar with that game to be honest [06:42] brandon: after it downloads and installs you should be able to play mp3 without any issues [06:42] can u give me some other simple application i can try [06:42] df20fs: well, I think that its common for vmware bridged networking to not work with wifi cards. [06:42] ok, and one more Q [06:42] at least on linux [06:43] if they all bascially work the same [06:43] brambo, from a terminal... "sudo apt-get install neverball" [06:43] I'll see if I can find the "patch" [06:43] brambo: go to add/remove programs and install whatever you want from there [06:43] it says I dont have a network connection, but i can connect to the internet. [06:43] how do I tell whcih version of driver I have for gfx ard? [06:43] whats up with that? [06:43] brandon, apt can't connect? [06:44] just got a clean install of gutsy up last night - excellent work guys [06:44] must be a linux thing. i'm using openbsd for wireless bridges for my lan to extend its reach [06:44] I have a problem! When I run "ismod" it says command not found.. :S [06:44] apt? [06:44] What do I do? [06:44] thats working i believe [06:44] it's lsmod [06:44] with an L [06:44] (fucking readme.txt file...) [06:44] lol thanks O_O [06:44] !ohmy > computer13137 [06:44] hmm. I have no idea where I found the site that told me the variables to change [06:44] lol [06:44] Sorry :P [06:45] df20fs: all I had to do to get it to work on linux, was change the value of a few constants [06:45] buenas.. [06:45] df20fs: I forget where I read how to do it tohugh [06:45] brambo, you should have "Neverball" in your games menu when that is done [06:45] brandon: apt is the packaging system ubuntu uses to install programs. [06:45] it's not even that I care about compiz, but the video, that's important. eh, anyway, I'll figure it out. even worse is that mythtv bug i still have where it records one channel above what I set - off topic i know [06:45] oh... [06:45] mirdin76: You know how to check which driver is in use? I have a 7300 GT working perfectly [06:45] brandon, wasn't sure what wasnt connecting [06:45] i still cant hear anything [06:45] mirdin76: ALso you did a fresh install of gutsy or upgrade? [06:46] badkitty: fresh [06:46] brandon: then the problem is sound related, not codec related [06:46] um, which driver, letsee that was like gfinfo or something i forget [06:46] i dont know, the internet wouldnt work for a while, and I could only see ubuntu's site for a while, but now i can go to other sites [06:46] brandon, does anything happen if you "sudo cat /dev/random > /dev/dsp" from terminal? [06:46] mirdin76: Compiz for me was soo easy to setup.. any reason xubuntu over ubuntu? === u^A is now known as u^A_ [06:47] yeah, I already had the CD : ) [06:47] you saying it's the xfce? [06:47] has anybody gotten their gateway laptop to work with the gutsy live cd? mine stalls somewhere around loading up a harddrive or something or other [06:47] mirdin76: Haha, yeah that will do it... Umm, I'm not saying that, it is just a possibility that's all [06:48] no, it just asked for my password, then nothing after i typed it [06:48] badkitty could be, or it could be that 7300 doesn't have the bug and 7800 does [06:48] brandon, can you do lspci again, and copy/paste that to a pastebin? [06:48] mirdin76: Plus Im thinking the repositories may be different? [06:48] ubuntu, kubuntu, and xubuntu use the same repositories [06:48] badkitty: oh really?? which nvidia driver do you have? oh you were asking hold on let me look how [06:49] mirdin76: Well as far as I know the drivers for all nvidia cards are the same, each card just uses them differently according to their specs [06:49] OK, so I got the driver for my network card. I ran make, and I'm not sure how to proceed. How do I tell the system to look for the driver? The readme.txt says to run "lsmod 8139too" but when I do that it gives me a message about "Usage: lsmod" [06:49] How would I go about setting up an nVidia GeForce FX 5500 graphics card? I don't seem to have better than VESA graphics. [06:49] computer13137: use sudo modprobe instead of lsmod [06:49] hahahaha [06:49] jamman105: I am running a gateway CX2726 and it worked just fine with the live cd. [06:49] badkitty: yeah yeah, it's probably that then. I guess I got unlucky - or should have researched better [06:50] Starnestommy: Command run, it just went to the next line...did it do something? [06:50] vmware-config and i go to start it, says i need to run config [06:50] i run config, then and start it, says i still need to run config. [06:50] now what? [06:50] meusterus: use the the restricted driver manager to install the appopriate driver [06:50] meusterus, what year is it? like, manufactured?

[06:52] q === Swamp is now known as SwampDonkey [06:52] Sheesh [06:52] badkitty: hah! noo, low on patience, but seriously I think this might be the driver/card in which case I dunno, seems like it could be the same in U as XU [06:53] so just click send? [06:53] brandon, yep, then cut/paste the url it gives you into the channel [06:53] badkitty: any idea how often the repos are updated with restricted drivers?

I unplugged the cable from eth0. I told it to ping 192.168.1.6. It now says "From 192.168.1.5 Destination Host Unreachable". What'd I do wrong? [06:54] Could you suggest me a good RSS offline reader in Ubuntu?! I wanna to download big blogs which had over 1000 posts! [06:55] mirdin76: I'd just be guessing [06:55] badkitty: i've heard it said that it only happens ie: feisty->gutsy and then someone told me that was not true [06:55] bahman, for kde, theres kontact (i think) [06:56] How do I autoconfigure acpi-support? [06:56] brandon, Yep, thanks. Laptop? [06:56] Thanks jamman105 let me try it [06:56] Never mind, I fixed it. [06:56] yes.... [06:56] yes i have neverball now [06:56] that worked.... [06:56] anyone use samba file sharing util? [06:56] but i cant seem to get just any app i see for linux [06:56] what can i use [06:57] mirdin76: I wouldn't think they would ONLY update their repo's during the dist cycle... I would think if there was an issue and a better driver came out they would upgrade, if there is a new driver try to find another repo that has it [06:57] fceu: Initializing sound...Error opening a sound device.

While i was doing work on, the machine just freeze, and the fan run at maximum speed and produce lots of noise. I can't Alt+SysReq+L to get the log, cos the machine just hang there. So i forced shutdown. I check gnome-log but there was only a restart log. Is there anyway for me to get the log for this kind of crash? [08:14] idyllic: Sounds like exactly what my desktop is doing... [08:14] broken: you're on 64-bit gutsy? [08:14] broken, if you grab the install_flash_player_9_linux package from adobe's site, you can manually copy the .so file to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins [08:14] Joe__ i am running on laptop =/ [08:14] VvWolverinev1: nope 32 [08:14] hmm, lemme try to find the page then, i have 64 bit [08:14] spdf: That's how I installed it... can I just remove the .so file to uninstall? [08:15] idyllic you happen to have firefox running when it freezes? [08:15] Joe__, yeh [08:15] Joe__, its just a temporary fix until the packages get fixed [08:15] broken, http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz [08:15] Joe__: yes, compiz-fusion, vpnc, amsn and exaile [08:15] spdf: Thanks... I'm having the same kinds of freezes idyllic is having... but it only happens when firefox or epiphany is running [08:16] broken: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 [08:16] spdf: so do i just install it? or will i have to do something manually after. [08:16] idyllic compiz could have somethign to do with your problem [08:16] Joe__ i tried metacity last time, it also produced the problem [08:16] i tryed putting the file into firefox also it says i cannot write in that folder [08:16] im trying out 8.04 alfa screen res. is fuckd up, any cool comands for that???????????

[08:17] no prob [08:17] jamman105: so why are localhost and mymachine listed separately under the hosts tab? [08:17] hello world, peace be on linux [08:17] bruce_, ok, try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" [08:18] brambo, you need to use sudo [08:18] idyllic I've been dealing with the same issue for about a week now, right now I'm thinking it could be something between my nvidia drivers and the adobe flash not liking each other [08:18] and do what with sudo ? [08:18] Joe__ i am thinking so too. I use nvidia driver by ubuntu and flash manual install from adobe [08:19] brambo: sudo means Super User Do, or do this as root, so it's sudo command [08:19] idyllic: I'm about to test again, I just removed that same install of flash and going to pray there's no freeze [08:19] brambo: E.g., sudo fdisk -l [08:20] brambo, don't just randomly paste things into your terminal, unless they apply to you, or you know whats going to happen [08:20] idyllic: Yours seem pretty random as well? Could go hours without a problem, or could go 5 minutes? [08:20] im back [08:20] brandon, took awhile for you to come back [08:20] brandon, hopefully nothing broke? [08:20] okay [08:20] sorry, there were some other upgrades [08:20] brandon, Ahh, no worries [08:20] i still can't seem to install any applications [08:20] im bad at command line. fatedkiss@Fatedkiss-Linux:/usr/src/alsa$ sudo cp ~/downloads/alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3.tar.bz2 .' didnt work either [08:20] Joe__ ya, 1 day may get 1 crash if i unlucky enough [08:20] there is a message that says it cannot initialize HAL [08:20] accept in add/remove but those are only certain appplications [08:21] i cant find it, FireFox took me for a ride again. [08:21] brambo: system > administration > synaptic [08:21] and still no sound.. :( [08:21] fatedkiss, Downloads likely needs to be capitalized [08:21] brambo: What application do you want that is missing? [08:21] bruce_, did that solve it for ya? [08:21] ill try that then thnks [08:21] no luck [08:21] idyllic: Nice to know I'm not the only one, heh... I went through testing all my hardware and everything prog I run... I'll let you know if removing the flash plugin works [08:22] many [08:22] hold on a minute [08:22] let me see what i can do with this Synaptic [08:22] hey, has anyone tried an ati high def 650pci tv tuner w/ linux? [08:23] fatedkiss@Fatedkiss-Linux:/usr/src/alsa$ sudo ~/Downloads/alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3.tar.bz2 .' i try that and it gives me a > === Veterini is now known as Lylat [08:23] i dotn know what to enter there [08:24] brandon, one time i was pulling out my hair because i had no sound, and it turned out i forgot to turn up the volume on my speakers :P [08:24] fatedkiss take the quote off the end. [08:25] fatedkiss, I just put quotes around it, my apologies [08:25] i dont use any, im using the built in ones on my laptop [08:25] np i just been trying different ways so i thaught id add them ^^ [08:25] spdf: What does that command do? Sudo Filename. [08:25] how can i get that Synaptic Package Manager to install what package i want? [08:25] i have two choices, sigma tel, and nvidia [08:25] I mean how to i select a folder [08:25] sudo: /home/fatedkiss/Downloads/alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3.tar.bz2: command not found [08:25] fatedkiss@Fatedkiss-Linux:/usr/src/alsa$ : linux hates me [08:25] for it to use [08:25] to install a app from [08:26] oss mixer and alsa mixer [08:26] fatedkiss: That command makes no sense to me either. And I don't hate you. [08:26] k, fatedkiss what is the name of the file? [08:26] ArthurArchnix: Sudo Filename wouldnt' do anything... "sudo filename" would run whatever it is filename is with root privilages [08:26] brandon, have you looked at dmesg and lsmod to see if the modules were loading? [08:26] 1 sec [08:26] alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3.tar.bz2 [08:27] anyone know ho to make mplayer jump to a point in a movie, dump 1 frame & exit? [08:27] ok, fatedkiss for this use "tar xvjf alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3.tar.bz2" [08:27] spdf: What? He's got a tarred file... sudo filename wouldn't do anything. Is he trying to extract it somewhere? Maybe if he was trying to extract it to a folder he doesn't have permissions to write to.. I could see sudo tar... but sudo filename? [08:27] ArthurArchnix, He's trying to copy it to /usr/src [08:28] ArthurArchnix, which is owned by root.. and by default, has no write privilages for normal users.. [08:28] ArthurArchnix, Thats why he needed sudo. [08:28] spdf: Alright then, take sudo, add jamman105's comment, and give the destination. [08:28] ArthurArchnix, You don't need to tell me how to do it. [08:28] calm down now guys.... [08:29] http://pastebin.com/m1313967 [08:29] * ArthurArchnix calms down. [08:29] go there [08:29] hahahhaha nice. [08:29] cE_14_cUtE [08:29] k, im hitting the hay. peace [08:29] "tar xvjf alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3.tar.bz2 does that unpack it?

[08:32] brandon, I saw something else about adding an option to the module loading, I'll see if I can find it again [08:32] spdf, ewwww... hda-intel... just shoot me now! [08:32] ok [08:32] for cp -R dir to i subtitute dir for my directory? [08:33] fatedkiss, yes, that is correct [08:33] brandon, what brand/model is your laptop?

[08:34] brambo: Here's some good links. They have a lot of answers to a lot of common questions: http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware [08:34] it runs XP [08:35] fatedkiss, yes, you can. and then unzip it in the /usr/src or whereever [08:35] thank u Arthur i'll have a look [08:35] okie ^^ the unziping thing thre me off a bit thanks [08:36] media center edition 2005 [08:36] i think thats the model [08:36] brandon, You can try adding "options snd-hda-intel model=laptop" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base (remove the quotes) [08:36] can anyone help me with setting up a triple boot on a mactel?

[08:40] Hello [08:40] I've got a problem with WIFI, can anyone help me ? [08:41] last_survivor: usually when compiling you need to install development versions of packages. the development libraries have code that the runtime libraries do not. [08:41] Arnaud04: what is the problem? [08:41] tomd: that command fixed my problem , thank you dearly [08:41] I can't reach the network [08:41] last_survivor: np. next time just do aptitude search zlib. thats how I figured it out.

[08:41] tomd: already , but i didnt know about development thing [08:42] Starnestommy: no, Ubuntu did it all for me [08:42] Starnestommy: when I installed ubuntu, I did nothing [08:42] Starnestommy: Actually I can see my network, it's detected [08:42] i put that stuff in but it didnt work [08:43] Arnaud04: but it's not able to connect to any sites, right?

It's not connected via wire, just wireless on laptop [08:43] TO_Felony, unrar [08:44] its in one of the components of the ubuntu repo right? [08:44] tuxd: there's an ndiswrapper package on the install disc. apt-get should be able to find it [08:44] Arnaud04: you may need to use ndiswrapper and a window version of the driver [08:44] *windows [08:44] Tito vs Roy Jones?

[08:45] for example khelpcenter [08:45] VvWolverinevV: add/remove doesn't list all available software, but synaptic does [08:46] starnestommy: ran that command from terminal, it says it couldn't find package ndiswrapper [08:46] brandon, which command was not found?

You need to edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [08:46] fatedkiss, get some sleep [08:46] may I change the path ? [08:46] fatedkiss, it does wonders for you [08:46] brandon, and add that line I gave you in quotes [08:47] Arnaud04: that path is a path to where the windows version of the driver has it's .inf file [08:47] brandon, take the quotes off though [08:47] Starnestommy: ok [08:47] -.- or i just suck [08:47] starnestommy: the troubleshooting guide says to go System>administration>Device Manager... device manager is not showing. Is it b/c it's still running off the live CD? [08:47] now that it seems to be working... has nayone heard anything about the adobe flash plugin causing hard lock ups? [08:47] i did but it said command not found [08:47] fatedkiss: put in the full path to where alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3.tar.bz2 is now [08:48] i did that erlier and it didnt work <.< [08:48] idyllic: removing the flash plugin seems to have helped [08:48] ill try it again though [08:48] Starnestommy: I've dowloaded the driver but I've got no inf [08:48] Joe__: erm, less than an hour, i cant produce crash that fast =P [08:49] Arnaud04: it may have an installer or executable archive [08:49] Joe__: so no flash till the there are other way around it [08:49] idyllic: mines been crashing on average at least once an hour... I'm hoping this did it === dfgsftsdfg is now known as cE_mUtZ [08:49] idyllic: no flash sucks.. .but better than freezing up randomly, heh [08:50] is there any guideline for partitions sizes that are recommended for ubuntu? most of what I find just discusses making one big / partition and putting everything there [08:50] Need help (please) geting wireless to work on laptop (7.10 Gutsy) it's still Live CD, not installed on HD. Troubleshooting guide says go to Administration>Device Manager. There is no "Device Manager" under System>administartion... not sure if b/c is still live CD [08:50] Joe_: lol, okay, i will hang around here till i hear further non-crash from you. thanks mate [08:50] Starnestommy: oh I see , I think it's the linux driver I've installed [08:50] cn28h 3 partitions, one for / one for /home and one for the swap [08:50] Joe_: hope ur way work for us [08:50] cp: cannot stat `alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3.tar.bz2': No such file or directory [08:50] fatedkiss@Fatedkiss-Linux:/usr/src/alsa$ sudo cp -R ~/Downloads/asla-driver-1.0.15rc3.tar.bz2 /usr/src/asla/ [08:50] cp: accessing `/usr/src/asla/': Not a directory [08:50] Starnestommy: I must download the windows one, but which one ? w98 ? XP ? vista ? [08:50] Joe_, that's what I was thinking, but I'm not sure how big to make / [08:50] what are the 2 sudo commands for intalling things? [08:50] in terminal [08:51] cn28h how big s the drive you have to use? [08:51] Arnaud04: xp, but a vista one may also work [08:51] cn28h: Depends... what is your planned setup? Dual booting? Do you install often? Do you want to backup your system, do you want to encrypt it? [08:51] apt-get [08:51] aptitude ? [08:51] idyllic yeah, going to try getting some work done and pray this did it, I'll let you know [08:51] Joe_, I'm working with ~120GB [08:51] brambo: sudo apt-get install and sudo dpkg -i [08:51] sudo aptitude install , sudo apt-get install [08:51] it says permission denied [08:51] cn28h single drive? [08:51] thank you [08:51] ArthurArchnix, nothing out of the ordinary, and I use an external drive for backups [08:51] Starnestommy: would necessary a windows driver work better that a linux driver, though both are official proprietary drivers ? [08:51] and when i put sudo in front of it it says command not found [08:52] me too [08:52] Joe_, yeah, it's a 160GB derive with 1 40GB NTFS partition I'm keeping [08:52] tuxd: erm, probably the wireless is in restrictive driver and livecd, i m not sure whether it is enable on default [08:52] brandon, from the command line.. sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [08:52] Arnaud04: often, they put more time into making the windows drivers since fewer people use linux [08:52] cn28h you should be able to get away with 40G for / around 8-10 for swap and rest for home. Home always takes up the most space [08:53] really? that's much more than I was thinking for / [08:53] I was thinking more like 10G [08:53] cn28h I have 8G for swap and like 180G for /, but I have 3 drives(second 180G for home and 400G for movies) [08:53] brambo [08:53] 8G for swap? wow, how much RAM do you have? [08:53] 4G [08:53] ah [08:53] ok. another screen popped up with a lot of information on it [08:53] brandon, yep, that's a text editor. [08:54] I just use a 92GB / and a 2GB swa[ [08:54] *swap [08:54] cp: accessing `/usr/src/asla/': Not a directory [08:54] cn28h depends on what you want to use, like on my other box I have VMware installed and the virtual machines take up a ton of space(my XP VM is like 8G) [08:54] alsa, not asla [08:54] dpkg: error processing opera_9.25-20071214.6-shared-qt_en_i386.deb (--install): [08:54] cannot access archive: No such file or directory [08:54] Errors were encountered while processing: [08:54] :( [08:54] what does this mean? [08:54] cn28h: Then I would do this: 5GB set as root /, 1GB as swap, the rest as home /home. [08:54] ,aybe i do need sleep [08:54] <.< [08:54] please private message me if anyone know [08:54] idyllic: ok, what does that mean? The live cd won't run except on "safe graphics mode", which is what it's running in now. Am I FUBAR? Is there a way to get wireless working?... I think if I can get Envy installed, I can update the Nvidia drivers so it will run on normal graphics, but I need wireless first (I think) [08:54] brambo: use a path instead of just the file name [08:54] !enter | brambo [08:54] brambo: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! === MPS is now known as MPS|Fr === MPS|Fr is now known as MPS|Fruehstuecke [08:55] tuxd I had the same issue with my nvidia cards, just installed the correct drivers after install [08:55] ok, so now what do i do? [08:55] ok sorry ubotu [08:55] tuxd: u running on laptop? what is ur wireless adapter? [08:55] brandon, add that option line I put in quotes to the top and save [08:55] brambo: If you're trying to install opera, you can do that through add remove, we just need to enable the extra repositories. [08:55] brambo: Are you in add/remove now? [08:56] Joe_: yes, but won't I need wireless to update/download those drivers? [08:56] just paste it to the top? [08:56] Starnestommy: it says "driver fil is already installed" [08:56] any know why when i log on i have to do a sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 to have internet? [08:56] tuxd yeah... probably will, it's not detecting your wireless card? [08:56] that did it...kinda demoralizing [08:56] <.< thank you everyone who helped me [08:56] i feel slightly stupid [08:57] brandon, options snd-hda-intel model=laptop [08:57] ? [08:57] idyllic: yes, it's a live CD on laptop, currently running in Safe graphics mode. Not sure what wireless card model is [08:57] brandon, I'll put up a sample pastebin.. [08:57] I have just installed ubuntu amd64 and all KDE applications have larger text font than any of the gnome ones, how can I fix this? [08:57] how to run a command automatically when log-on? [08:57] Joe_: yes, it's not reading wireless card [08:57] lol ok [08:57] tuxd: try sudo lspci and look through the output [08:58] brandon, http://pastebin.com/m1feb262c [08:58] i want ubuntu do a sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 automatically when login [08:58] brandon, just add some space to the top, and add the line.. then save, close gedit [08:58] extern: try runnning kcontrol from a terminal. There should be some font options under "appearance" [08:59] ok [08:59] brandon, you'll need to restart for that to take effect, and hopefully do something (it'll change your volume options I'm expecting) [08:59] cvd: is the interface listed in /etc/network/interfaces> [08:59] er, that > should be a ? [08:59] brambo: Under the "ubuntu" tab, check everything but "source code". Under "third party", check the top "partner", the one without the "(source)" at the end of the line. Then click close. Then, back in the add/remove dialog box, there's a drop down box in the top right corner. Change it to "all available applications". Now, search for "opera". When it shows up, put a check mark in it, and click "apply changes." That's it. [08:59] ok thx, brb [09:00] i dont have a clue what you have say to me , Starnestommy [09:00] Starnestommy, thank you, it helped. Though I wonder why were all the fonts larger by default... [09:01] cvd: look at the file /etc/network/interfaces. Does it say anything about eth0? [09:01] Idyllic: wireless is Atheros Communications AR5006EG 802.11 b/g wireless PCI adapter [09:01] tuxd: i have a URL for you, just a sec [09:01] only this, iface eth0 inet dhcp, auto eth0 [09:02] that should start the interface on startup, but it isn't doing it for some reason [09:02] tuxd: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported Atheros is in there [09:02] misslecommander: sweet. thanks [09:02] yw [09:02] someone know GRUB ? [09:03] ? [09:03] can you look at my pastebin if you are familiar with GRUB ? [09:03] starnestommy: any idea why there is no "Device manager" under System >Administration ? [09:03] cvd: which commands did you want to do on startup? [09:03] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52743/ [09:03] Starnestommy: well, I think I did well now, but it says "driver net8180 is already installed" [09:04] only need to know the one number in question [09:04] sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0' [09:04] how to get it [09:04] Arnaud04: I think it isn't a driver problem now, but it's likely a configuration problem [09:04] Starnestommy: what can I do, so ? [09:04] cvd: add that to the file /etc/rc.local [09:05] Arnaud04: are the wirelsss card and router both set to use DHCP? [09:05] Starnestommy: yes they are [09:05] Arnaud04: is there any encryption involved? [09:05] Starnestommy: yes [09:05] In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution bits? [09:06] Arnaud04: what type? [09:06] Starnestommy: First there was a WEP, but I know my driver can't manage WEP, it makes the PC freeze [09:06] just now i installed kubuntu system in laptop my i didnt get sound [09:06] Starnestommy: so I'm trying WPA [09:07] But in my router I don't know what kind of WPA I have to choose [09:07] what types are there?

[09:14] hello, how can i find a computer's ip address if i got it's samba share name(i can browse the samba shares with nautilus)? [09:15] brandon, what's the problem? no sound? [09:16] yes [09:16] which sound card? [09:16] what happening here [09:16] nVidia [09:16] hm [09:16] how does lspci refer to it? [09:17] can i use kde4 in ubuntu? [09:17] cvd: I think so [09:17] #kubuntu-kde4 will tell you cvd [09:17] where is the .deb [09:17] cva, there is a build out, yes [09:17] elius, man nmblookup [09:17] 00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) [09:17] cvd: instructions in that channel [09:17] anybody compiled amarok2?? [09:18] which packaged do I need to compile software from sourcecode? [09:18] how can i add more plugins to compiz, i want the 'snow'one [09:19] cce_: build-essential [09:19] thank you [09:20] brandon, do you know what driver it uses? [09:20] no [09:20] AMD Turion? [09:20] cvd: Ask it in #compiz [09:20] or #compiz-fusion [09:21] same channel now :D [09:21] cn28h, it uses snd-hda-intel [09:21] cvd: Have you tried to install package called compiz-extra? [09:21] yep, [09:21] brandon, does that show in lsmod? [09:22] but the snow is not there [09:22] ce [09:22] cce [09:22] cce_: compiz-extra is not for modern compiz [09:23] modern compiz/ [09:23] ? [09:23] compiz-extra was for compiz 0.3.6 (what was in feisty) [09:24] i see snd-hda-intel a lot === GNUdog is now known as fideas_SHOOTER [09:25] oh, I use beryl :) [09:26] spdf, do u normally use kbuntu on you computer? [09:26] ბერი - ხომ გითხარი, რომ არაფერი მაქვს, რაღა უნდა დავაგდო? [09:27] brandon, I've never used it, to be honest. Just straight up Ubuntu, with gnome. [09:27] can i run GRUB from this account, and it will still work on reboot ? does GRUB menu have terminal, and how do i get to it ? [09:27] spdf, i am using ubuntu i think [09:28] night everyone ^^ [09:28] oh well, most it can do is have me do full re-install, i dont like this OS anyhoe, this is its last chnce [09:30] Starnestommy: I'm back [09:30] Starnestommy: It doesn't work. [09:31] Starnestommy: There are two scenarios : [09:31] spdf, is there a way to find out if i am using kbutntu? [09:31] Starnestommy: If I'm as "itinerant mode", I can see the network, and it asks me a passphrase, but I can only enter a WEP phrase === Johnson_ is now known as obf213 [09:32] Starnestommy: The is not a WPA choice [09:32] brandon What does the icon in the bottom left look like, a K, or a circle with dots. === fideas_SHOOTER is now known as GNUdog [09:33] circle with 3 dots, but it is my top left [09:33] That's gnome. [09:33] so it's regular ubuntu [09:33] Standard ubuntu [09:34] idyllic so far so good! [09:34] Arnaud04: if no encyption systems work, try disabling encryption and instead use mac filtering for access control [09:34] yea [09:34] Starnestommy: On my router, I can't disable the encryption [09:35] eep. [09:35] did WEP work? [09:36] Joe_: that's great =) [09:36] brandon, ubuntu is better than kubuntu anyway :P [09:36] brandon I tried scrolling up to see your issue, can you summarize it for me. One big paragraph bringing me up to speed on what the problem is, what you've tried to fix it, and the other relevant details that others have asked you for already. [09:36] Starnestommy: WEP makes my PC freeze [09:36] Joe_: gah... so i just go in /usr/bin/ then remove flash plugin no? [09:36] Arnaud04: any of the other WPA options? [09:36] idyllic depends on how installed it, if you installed it for local user only it's in ~/.mozilla/plugins [09:37] idyllic if you installed it system wide... let me check.. [09:37] Starnestommy: I've tried all WPA options [09:37] Joe_: locate libflashplayer.so then i got /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins also [09:38] Joe_: i got 3 in total, plus the opera one [09:38] that would be it [09:38] Arnaud04: to be honest, I've run out of ideas [09:38] Starnestommy: OK I'm going to disconnect and try other things, thank you [09:39] idyllic I only had one, but I installed it just for one user(only have one user, heh) [09:39] good morning [09:39] i have here a little problem [09:39] Arthur Archnix, basically im using ubuntu on my laptop, I cannot hear any sound, and I have downloaded 2 things for it and edited the ALSA page for my sound. Im in the dark here cause im still new to the linux system type, so idk where to start [09:40] idyllic: if you open flashplayer-installer in gedit you can see it puts it in /usr/lib/mozilla or /home//,mozilla/plugins [09:40] how can i get my webcam working? [09:41] Joe_: thanks mate. Btw, do you happen to know how to get flash working in opera? I search high and low on internet. Non working so far [09:41] i have here an external USB Disk Drive with a destroyed ntfs partition. under Linux is everything ok. I can mount it, copy important files. But under windows the partition is not available. i can see the partition, but there is no possibilty to see the files [09:41] brandon: Start by confirming that you've unmuted your speakers and everything. In a terminal, type: alsamixer when it opens, you use the keyboard. Right, left, up and down. Press M to unmute. Press 'esc' to exit. Then type "sudo alsactl store" to save it. You type that in a terminal without quotes. [09:42] idyllic I don't... I'm gonna be trying to figure out what the conflict is with flash causing these freeze-ups... I'm thinking it doesn't like the drivers, because my other linux box doesn't freeze up like that [09:42] away [09:42] [away] [09:42] idyllic: It seems that flash installer from adobe can detect opera installs too [09:42] [09:43] Joe_: well, it didn't work for me =(. Anyway, best of lurk if you find anything regarding to the flash [09:43] how do i know which resolution im runinng now? [09:44] Joe_: Will look for you whenever i hop in the channel. You don't change nick and don't mind me pm you right? [09:44] idyllic: Hopefully it fixes your freeze up problems too... no flash sucks, but better than an unusable computer :P Worst case we can hope 8.04 fixes the issue [09:44] MJC: oh hiii [09:44] oh hii [09:44] idyllic: np, should be on this nick. [09:44] KDE Boy [09:44] quit [09:45] Arthur Archnix, ok, did that [09:45] MJC: Gnome Fiend! [09:45] Joe_: thanks man. [09:45] does nobody have flash working in ubuntu besides me? i do :-) [09:45] a command to restart compiz? [09:46] brandon In a terminal type "aplay -l" without quotes. That's a lowercase L, not a 1. [09:46] compiz --restart maybe? [09:46] cvd: compiz [09:46] compiz --replace [09:46] brandon What does it say? [09:46] just compiz only is fine i guess [09:47] **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** [09:47] card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog] [09:47] Subdevices: 1/1 [09:47] Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [09:47] card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 1: STAC92xx Digital [STAC92xx Digital] [09:47] Subdevices: 1/1 [09:47] Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [09:47] card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem] [09:47] Subdevices: 1/1 [09:47] Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [09:47] /usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Warn: Unknown option '--restart' [09:47] brandon That's enough! [09:47] cvd: that's because it's --replace ;) [09:48] huh? [09:48] cvd im sorry, it's compiz --replace [09:48] thats all there was [09:48] ok, thanks , now working [09:48] brandon When you need to paste a few lines of output... use pastebin. It's ok though. It's quiet. So, can you find the sound mixer in gnome? it should be in >system>preferences>sound [09:49] brandon Under sound events, see how there is sound playback, and it's on autodetect? [09:49] yea [09:50] but when i close the terminal the emerald fuc** up [09:50] Ok, hit test on autodetect. And if you don't hear a sound, change that to the next one in the list, and test that. Do that for all of them. Then report what you've heard. Or not. :) [09:50] !ohmy | cvd [09:50] cvd: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [09:50] brandon, or try alsamixer from a terminal to make sure that your pcm is turned up [09:50] ok.. [09:51] hunchybunch: We've gone through alsamixer, and sudo alsactl store. Brandon reported that ok. [09:51] cvd: do that from alt f2, not terminal [09:51] hunchybunch: I haven't yet asked him for lspci | grep Audio, but if the sound test comes back negative, that's next. Because aplay -l reports that ubuntu sees his audio card. [09:51] did he check pcm though? sometimes it's turned down for no reason [09:52] hunchybunch: Didn't confirm that. [09:52] all three are turned up [09:52] oh ok, thanks [09:52] no worries [09:52] hey guys, im trying to dual boot with xp and ubuntu and everything went fine until i booted into xp, it went wappy and i fixed it but i think its uninstalled grub, ive tried apt-get remove and then install on grub but that didnt work, any ideas? [09:52] UberPsyX: which was installed first [09:52] brandon, right arrow over to pcm, it's off the page [09:52] bazhang, xp [09:53] hi [09:53] UberPsyX: what is went wappy? was this the xp that messed up? [09:54] its up all the way [09:54] its right next to master [09:54] bazhang, well it went all system recovery and i had to reconfigure everything, it did the whole going back to safe date thing (stupid idea of recovery if you ask me!) [09:55] brandon hunchybunch I'm disappearing for five minutes. I have some bad air to inhale. Post the output of "lspci | grep Audio" for me, we need to see if this is the infamous intel ICH8 rev3. [09:55] UberPsyX: not familiar with windows xp--perhaps some other ##windows users here can help out; there is also the !grub command to help you fix grub if you want to try that [09:55] you think its possible its wiped ubuntu off the second partition? its still ext3 but i thought it was more likely grub had been erased [09:55] post what? [09:56] UberPsyX: likely a grub issue [09:56] !grub | UberPsyX [09:56] UberPsyX: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [09:56] brandon, that is curious, i have nvidia on my mobo, and it was a no-brainer to get going - i think mine is using ac97 though [09:56] bazhang, ok thanks for the help, will that work off the live cd? its just thats the only way i can boot into ubuntu [09:56] oh.. [09:57] UberPsyX: I would not give good advice in this situation; could do, but I am not sure at this point [09:57] yea, it is nVidia and sigma tel [09:57] so yea idk [09:57] bazhang, ok thanks a lot [09:58] changing sounds doent not work in Gutsy Gibbon ne suggestions ? [09:59] brandon, you sure your lappy doesn't have some kind of mute button on it er supthin? [10:00] it has a mute button, but the sound isnt muted [10:00] Hello Room [10:01] This is for the first time i am on IRC after a break for 10 Years [10:01] praveen_, changing what sounds? [10:01] 10 year break from irc? [10:01] System Sound preferences [10:01] brandon What's the output of that command I gave you to enter into the terminal.... [10:01] yes 10 Years [10:02] brandon, what are you using in the way of audio anyway, are you trying to play an mp3 possibly? [10:02] There use to be a time of MIRC [10:02] now i ma using ChatZIlla [10:02] yea, they are mp3 files [10:02] Is it true that if I want to play World of Warcraft in Wine, I have to disable compiz everytime? [10:02] Thinkpad: Welcome back to teh intarwebs. ;) [10:02] hello [10:02] Thanks Arthur [10:03] hello world [10:03] It seems i will get addicted to IRC again [10:03] :) [10:03] where do I find the output? [10:03] Hello World Yes Hello World [10:03] praveen_, double click on your speaker in the bar at the top <~ [10:03] Eds: Perhaps... I'm not sure. But a quick easy way to do it is to hit Alt+F2 and then type "metacity --replace" [10:03] ' [10:04] what does that do? :) [10:04] brandon Open a terminal, copy and paste that command in there. Then highlight and copy the output, then paste it here. [10:04] brandon, have you installed all the bad restricted drivers? i dont think mp3 plays out of the box. [10:04] hunchybunch, am able to hear sound but i wanna add sound for warning messages .... clicking buttons etc [10:04] maybe it does though, ive always installed all the restricted drivers from the beginning [10:05] Eds: It turns off compiz, and switches to metacity, temporarily, just for the one session. The next time you start ubuntu, it starts normally. Or when you're done playing, you do the same thing but type "compiz --replace" and it turns it back on. [10:05] 00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) [10:05] hunchybunch, the Systems->Preference->Sound ( Sound Tab) [10:05] what do you mean all the bad drivers? [10:05] praveen_, i understand, but in order for that to happen, you have to use esd instead of alsa. esd sucks though [10:06] brandon I have something for you to try, but you have to do it exactly like I type, so that if it doesn't work, we can revert the changes and come back to square one, ok? [10:06] ok [10:07] hunchybunch, ohh k hw do i do tht ? [10:07] Hi there. Any news on the broken xserver-xorg-core package? Has it been fixed? [10:07] praveen_, i believe the next version of ubuntu should solve that because it will use pulse audio by default instead of alsa-esd [10:07] in a terminal, type this without quotes: "sudo cp /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.d.bak" [10:08] how do i disable keybindings such as windows key + r (or 1,2,3) which seem to do zoom-related stuff? [10:08] the one after 7.10 ?? [10:08] can u help me guys [10:08] anybody with a problem in gusty amd64 that the monitor stops responding? [10:08] !ask | User59 [10:08] User59: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [10:08] hunchybunch, the one after 7.10 ?? [10:09] Arthur Archnix, ok [10:09] it says event not found [10:09] praveen_ when you finish with this i needed some helo from you on BSNL dataone front for UBUNTU. You are on IRC so seems you sorted out the Dataone Problem. BTW are you in India at the moment [10:09] for !ask [10:10] praveen_, yea, it may not be ready for prime time as yet, probably in 3 to 4 months [10:10] brandon lol. Sorry... that wasn't for you. That was a command for ubotu, here in the forum. Did you do the sudo cp one? [10:10] hi [10:10] anybody with a problem in gusty amd64 that the monitor stops responding during boot process? [10:10] yea [10:11] i installed kubuntu but i didnt get sound [10:11] hunchybunch, k ill wait for tht [10:11] brandon Ok. We just backed up your file so that we can restore it if need be. Now we edit it. Type: "gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [10:11] Thinkpad, hi .... wat is the problem ?? [10:11] earthling: the splash screen must be the problem, I think [10:11] brandon Does a file open up, with a bunch of lines and stuff? [10:12] how do i mount my sound card [10:12] i installed kubuntu but i didnt get sound [10:12] you can't mount sound cards [10:12] yea, the one I edited [10:12] Praveen thanks for the reply. We wanna migrate our entire company of 5 on ubuntu and take exit from anything thats microsoft. The installations goes good. The sound and AGP works too [10:12] hi, i am tring to share files with other computers(that run Ubuntu and windows) i read a tutorial add folders to share, instaled samba. After ading a user to samba i can't see the other computer anymore(before adding the samba user i can see the other computer but i can't browse it) Help [10:12] how do i mount my sound card [10:12] But when it comes to configuring the Dataone Broadband of BSNL [10:12] brandon Oh... you've edited this before? What did you do to it? [10:13] We are just clueless :( [10:13] options snd-hda-intel model=laptop <- thats what i had put in at the top [10:13] praveen_, it is at 8.04 alpha right now, you can get pulse audio to work with gutsy, but it's a pain. [10:13] hi. Is there anyone that is using compiz & atidrivers? [10:13] brandon: now what do i do for i want sound [10:14] hunchybunch, ohh .... if u hav ne link gimme [10:14] scimmiapazza, i'm using compiz with ati open source drivers [10:14] brandon I didn't see that. Ok, delete the line you added. And add this instead: "options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=3stack" without quotes, of course. Then, unless someone here knows how to restart alsa, you'll need to reboot. [10:14] jasmin, im tryin to find that out for myself lol [10:14] Thinkpad, heh itz easy use pppoeconf [10:14] Does anyone here know how to restart alsa without rebooting? [10:14] praveen_, not sure, look at distrowatch.com and ubuntu [10:14] anyone knows how to fix audio video sync issues for a avi file after encoding it using mencoder?? [10:15] Thinkpad, open the terminal ..... type sudo pppoeconf [10:15] I have a problem with installion of Gutsy. After we select Start or Install Ubuntu menu option from Ubuntu installation CD. A cursor appears on top-left corner of screen and installation doesn't continue. What might be the problem? [10:15] praveen_ yes. The thing is when we are in Windows it gets connected automatically. SO do you have any link for ubun tu where it will explain me about pppoeconf ? [10:15] hunchybunch: Uh..no I was looking for closed driver..Open surce drivers supports only a little part of graphic card..right? [10:15] hunchybunch, k thnks [10:16] fatih: Bad cd? Have you done a disk check for errors when booting? [10:16] Praveen_ that explains a lot. Thanks for your help Buddy. I think i will take it from here.

[10:46] kodge: thats for the 64-bit version, your filename may change [10:46] k [10:46] brandon Ok. That's Gutsy. Here's what I found. Your audio is working in Hardy. That's the next release of Ubuntu, not due until April. If you want sound before then you're going to have to compile and install the lastest version of alsa. It's not a small thing. You'll need to look at this thread. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449&highlight=alsamixer+settings+is But you'll need to scroll down to where it says gettin [10:47] ok...

You could just install hardy, but it's only a release candidate, which means you'll have many more problems that are much harder to fix than this one. Just post a thread in the forums explaining that you need to install the latest version. Ask for help about any details that you don't understand from the howto thread I linked to.

You can't seriously recommend Hardy to anyone who doesn't even know the lspci command.

If ettercap uses it, and you've deleted it, try "sudo apt-get remove --purge ettercap", then "sudo apt-get install ettercap" I'm assuming the program name is ettercap.

[13:06] only create the icon [13:06] but i can't set anything [13:06] nu2buntu: so you want internet connection sharing (ics). IIRC firestarter can set that up for you, but google has lots of info on that, too. google 'ubuntu ics' [13:07] if i start xbindkeys from the terminal it works great, but if i create a launcher to xbindkeys the process starts but it does not capture the set keys [13:07] nu2buntu: you should configure the eth0 interface via /etc/network/interfaces or System>Admin>Net the last two commands can be on rc.local [13:07] does the Ubuntu server edition provide a live CD too? [13:07] Otacon22 : then you've got a problem with your wifi card ;/ [13:07] cosmodad: no [13:07] no. [13:07] can you please pastebin the output of lspci? [13:07] thanks. [13:07] no [13:07] uhhhhhhhhh [13:07] hi! i need help about installation.i booted my pc with live cd and its asking me for username and password! what must i do? [13:07] but I need that [13:07] cosmodad: that would be quite senseless... server has no gui by default [13:07] it works perfectly [13:07] Er, if I installed ubuntu, then removed it and installed windows, would GRUB still be handling booting? [13:07] oh [13:08] * Badger curses dual-booting. [13:08] so if it works perfectly, why are you not using the internet? [13:08] dual booting? [13:08] salierri: Odd? Live cd doesnt ask that... [13:08] stefg: I don't see no reason to provide a CLI live system. [13:08] hi all [13:08] salierri: which OS? ubuntu, or ubuntu-based? [13:08] I assure you, it is not currently in a functioning state [13:08] ubuntu [13:08] anyone installed ubuntu on vaio fz21z ? [13:09] i installed some other pc's with that cd but [13:09] stefg: argh: to *not* provide* [13:09] you're going to have to paste the output of lspci, which tells me which cards are installed into your PCI busses, such as wifi cards. [13:09] its asking me for username on other pc [13:09] Is it possible to acheive upsplash transperancy? [13:09] and im sure i booted it from cd not grub [13:09] coolbhavi : I don't believe so [13:09] hi..i tried in the kubuntu channel first but not many answers..knetworkmanager ain't showing any wireless networks and prev. setting things manually worked but now that isn't working either... :( [13:10] cosmodad: in theory you're right, but in practice there's not much use for that. Server is meant to set up a minimal system on possibly low-ram machines, that can't run a live CD. if you need a recovery system, there's specialized CD's for that [13:10] salierri: Did it get to menu that said start or install.. integrity check etc? [13:10] my wireless card is AR5007EG [13:10] usplash runs before any video drivers are loaded, and as such, it's looks are somewhat limited in quality [13:10] join #dismiz on irc.dismiz.com [13:10] yes i selected start or install ubuntu [13:10] tumbleweed__ can you recomend a nice place to take care of my internal webcam? [13:10] stefg: i tried firestarter... it didnt do the job for me .. ubuntu detected my ethernet connecting to the internet as eth1 ..and the local network ethernet as eth0 .. even firestarter got confused... lol ... i got the "ICS" working ... but i have to type the command all over again if i want the other pc to be connected online... [13:10] I can probably help you with that [13:10] I am not asking alpha mixing,usplash displays the transparent part as black. What do I need to set the usplash_pixmap.transparent to? The index or the color? [13:11] salierri: and it came up asking for your user and password ? [13:11] stefg: right now, I am required to boot my server from a live system to set up an encrypted partition. This sounds like a good reason for a such a CLI live system. [13:11] yes [13:11] if i start xbindkeys from the terminal it works great, but if i create a launcher to xbindkeys the process starts but it does not capture the set keys [13:11] can you please type "lsusb" into a terminal and paste the output to http://pastebin.com/ and then link me to the post? [13:11] erUSUL: should i paste it "before" or "after exit 0 .. or should i delete it ? [13:11] salierri: is this dapper or some earlier version? [13:11] stefg: what I might do anyway is use Knoppix and boot into terminal right away. [13:11] no its 7.10 [13:11] tumbleweed__ ok... i've got a hp6000 laptop... with built in webcam... I apt-got webcam and it goes there.... the light turns on... but its going for the dev/video0.... and it crashes after that [13:11] and i used that cd before [13:12] cosmodad: just use the standard Desktop CD. the kernel will be different anyway [13:12] anyone installed ubuntu on vaio fz21z ? [13:12] oh [13:12] Any info on this? [13:12] stefg: and CLI mode is meant to not use up a lot RAM anyway. [13:12] salierri: I have never heard or seen that happen.. Sorry I have o answer [13:12] hi..i tried in the kubuntu channel first but not many answers..knetworkmanager ain't showing any wireless networks and prev. setting things manually worked but now that isn't working either... :( [13:12] stefg: ok I will. [13:12] I think I know what your problem is, rodrigo [13:12] is there anyway i can check if ubuntu will run ok on my laptop ? [13:12] stefg: thanks too. [13:12] I have an hp dv9500 [13:12] thank for help jack_sparrow [13:12] np [13:12] tumbleweed__ ok... cool....so... :) [13:12] nu2buntu: rad this http://rob.pectol.com/content/view/5/28/ ?

[13:13] type gstreamer-properties into a terminal, click the video tab, and click the test button by "default input" [13:13] yoluca: what kind of laptop === lagann is now known as lagann_ [13:13] yoluca: most likely, yes. [13:13] yoluca: Get the livecd and try it.. it does not instll unless you tell it specifically to do so.. It just runs from ram [13:13] tomd sony vaio fz21z [13:13] will go from there... thanks tumbleweed__ [13:13] another issue: this dm-crypt Ubuntu guide I'm following says to use copy -ax to move over an entire partition (/, in this case). Wouldn't that miss out hidden stuff, as in /home? [13:13] no problem [13:14] just tell me what happens [13:14] any1 heard this problem live cd asking for password? [13:14] yoluca: well, as Jack_Sparrow try the livecd.. modern linux runs on everything [13:14] i will [13:14] salierri: I had that [13:14] yoluca: You can also look up your laptop in supported hardware on the wiki [13:14] how did you solve that? [13:14] you've tried different combos? [13:14] tumbleweed__ input: fine.... output:Video for Linux (v4l): Could not get/set settings from/on resource [13:15] what's the package name for jbig-dev? [13:15] yeah combos with live ubuntu user root [13:15] yeah [13:15] also, I think it should log you in if you leave it for a while, though I'm not certain [13:15] change it to v4l2 [13:15] :) [13:15] cool [13:15] then click test [13:15] im waiting for 15mins and nothing happened [13:15] damn ... your good [13:15] worked man! [13:15] I've just been through it before [13:15] salierri: that won't work then. :P [13:15] ok... [13:15] :D [13:15] by the way [13:15] salierri: Is there another OS, on the computer you are trying to boot love? [13:16] now just click ok and all apps that use gstreamer for the webcam will work [13:16] salierri: probably the only option is to get the alternate [13:16] live [13:16] nope [13:16] thanks [13:16] i've got a very simple install for my t-mobile dongle ... and it working fine... whoul i post it on ubuntu forums? [13:16] salierri: just a moment--I am booting up the livecd [13:16] i tried to isntall ubuntu 7.04 before [13:16] rodrigo : if you think it would help others, by all means. [13:17] and its stuck at at 25% on install [13:17] thanks tumbleweed__ ... i think it will [13:17] no problem [13:17] salierri: Did you do the integrity check on that disk.. yes, even if it worked on a different computer.. [13:17] how can i find alternate for 7.10? [13:17] !download [13:17] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Gutsy, and help keeping the servers' load low! [13:18] yes i did integrity check and installed another computer with that cd and i tried to boot with another live cd but same thing happened [13:18] Is there any way to remove grub? [13:18] salierri: how much ram ? [13:18] Badger: do you have a windows XP disk?.. or a windows boot disk? [13:18] salierri: At start or install you can try different boot modifiers.. like pci=noapci acpi=off noapic nolapic or all_generic_ide acip=off [13:18] IndyGunFreak: Vista reinstall disk [13:19] Badger: hmm, not sure if that will work.. i have no experience w/ vista.

[13:20] IndyGunFreak: only if you install that from Live environment (it's optional)... [13:20] right, tahst what i'm saying.., interesting [13:20] I didn't know about that either [13:21] probably because I don't use windows at all :> [13:22] hw to change PATH variable ? [13:22] stefg: HAve you ever used that.. how does it work etc? [13:22] Jack_Sparrow: i don't have any use for MS compatible boot records :-) [13:23] stefg: Thanks for the info.. I will look into it... Could be a handy resource for us [13:23] stefg: it looks complicated :( do u have any easier guidelines for this ubuntu-firewall ?/ [13:23] salierri: yeah, the ubuntu livecd does not require a user name or password; were you booting from the already installed system--or was this something like linuxmint which iirc requires that? [13:24] linuxmint=? [13:24] bazhang are you using live cd now? [13:24] salierri: yes [13:24] bazhang can you say username? [13:25] nu2buntu: you should probably look into getting a proper router and hook both computers to it [13:25] salierri: during the installation process or during the entering livecd session? the latter requires none [13:25] bazhang live cd sesion username [13:26] bazhang: in administitor menu? [13:26] salierri: either that is not ubuntu 7.10 (perhaps an earlier version) or it is ubuntu-based. [13:26] hw to change PATH variable ? [13:26] bazhang: i installed another pc with using that cd i cant understand what happened? [13:27] stefg : i dont need a router at the moment...since i need to only connect with a single pc with room mate ... i read somewhere.. that i could save this config (which i previously paste here) so that i wont have to retype it all over [13:27] i installed a lot of fonts and now my system is bloated. how do i remove all the fonts that don't come with a standard ubuntu install? [13:27] salierri: what are you trying to do that you need a username and password?

[13:41] http://tinyurl.com/3cd35f [13:41] <_Dbug_> Hi. I broke the display, it's all scrambled, like when the size of scanlines of what is displayed is not the same as the real size of the screen so I can see about 15 parts of the mouse cursor, and cannot read any text. Is there an easy way to reset to a "safe default" ? [13:42] An hour ago Dapper crashed on me. The Hard Drive became very active, then I my mouse stop responding, then the keyboard, and the screen saver kicked in. I couldn't get any response period. Ctrl+alt +backspace didn't work, nor did ctrl+alt+F2, I had to shut down with the power switch. Everything appears ok now, since here I am, knock, knock. Besides checking the logs, any ideas? [13:43] hi all [13:44] _Dbug_: boot to recovery mode or try ctrl-alt-f2 for term and sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [13:45] hi all [13:45] n2diy_: you could inspect the smart-log of the hd's with smartmon-tools. But taht sounds pretty much like overheated or half broken hardware [13:45] does anybody can tell me that how can i dump my lptport? [13:45] how do I set a window manager as default one to load when gnome starts up [13:45] does some one know how i can fix the subtitles of a film so the can show on my native language [13:45] ? [13:46] <_Dbug_> Jack_Sparrow, ok. I'm in the "Package configuration" text application. Anything special I have to be careful about ? Basically it's a new install, and I did something wrong trying to install nvidia drivers - I have an unsuported 8800 gt [13:46] i play the movie with vlc player but it doesn`t show any subtitles [13:46] when i play it in movie player it shows some kinds of hieroglyphs ot something [13:46] Forsakensoul: i don't think VLC supports subtitles, but i could be wrong... i know it doesn't when you use it for TV [13:46] _Dbug_: vesa will get you basic gui [13:46] IndyGUnFreak VLC supports subtitles [13:46] IndyGunFreak: it does, but not closed captioning [13:47] amerio: gotcha... like i said, i wasn't 100% [13:47] hello [13:47] IndyGunFreak well it supports in windows [13:47] stefg: not familiar with smart log, I'll explore that. The hardware is old, except for the Hard Drive, which is only a year or two old, but... I don't think heat is a problem, room temp here is 65, and I have the cover off the box. Thanks. [13:47] Forsakensoul: usually with vlc you right click on the playing video and find subtitles, there it shows all available subtitles [13:47] gay [13:47] Forsakensoul: well.., a lot of things work in Windows that dn't work in Linux [13:47] gay [13:47] Forsakensoul My I can run only english subtitles on my VLC , other languages I get question marks instead of letters [13:47] elprieto: you have an issue? [13:47] bazhang: lol, sounds like it. [13:47] anyone know why vmware workstation runs fine without networking? it complains when it has networking with bridging and fails to bridge the interfaces although it runs fine on another machine [13:48] IndyGunFreak: heh [13:48] indygunfreak well you`re right but linux is better ;) [13:48] Jack_Sparrow: you're a bit slow on your boot button there..lol [13:48] rinaldi yes it uploads my subtitles but it doesn`t show them [13:48] Forsakensoul: no argument from me on that point [13:49] Forsakensoul: a font problem possibly? sorry not usre [13:49] amerio: do you have the correct language support packages installed for your system? [13:49] bazhang yeah I do [13:49] IndyGunFreak: I am working on a different computer and watching this one on the side [13:49] Forsakensoul I have the same problem after xorg upgrade [13:49] hi [13:49] <_Dbug_> Jack_Sparrow, ok, I'm back to the prompt, what should I do after that ? [13:49] excuses, excuses.. :) [13:49] I am using imagemagik to convert some images from gif to jepg, some one give me an script to convert it, but I dont understand to use that script can any one help me in that. [13:49] thanks/ [13:49] do Logitech X-230 sound speakers work with ubuntu ? [13:49] Forsakensoul maybe its something with the encoding in vlc player [13:49] well that`s a bugger i just uptadet it [13:50] lol [13:50] :) [13:50] yay Jack_Sparrow! [13:50] the script is on this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=54261&highlight=batch+convert+images [13:50] Jack_Sparrow: you should get dual monitors, that would keep things in order, thats what i did. [13:50] amerio i doubt that you would know but what kind of encoding should i use for bulgarian subtitles [13:51] IndyGunFreak: Try four ;) [13:51] Forsakensoul it was set to default , I used UTF and it worked for english subtitles [13:51] can any one help me in how I can use that script, i have created that file using vi === pricechild is now known as PriceChild [13:51] i`ll try [13:51] back with some coffee [13:51] amerio: is this for a legitimate dvd or some other source of movie file [13:51] Hi I can't listen the sound of this page http://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=aburrido [13:51] How can I do? [13:51] Joe_: sorry, i'd lose my mind.... but then again, when I had 1, i said, "Why in the world would i want Two monitors", now that I have two, I wonder, "Why in the world would I want 3".. so when I try three, you know what will happen [13:51] hi there [13:51] bazhang other source not a dvd [13:52] amerio: it may not have the option for that language then [13:52] Hello all. Can anyone recommend a relative efficient and cheap printer that will work well with Linux? Specifically a multi-function one if possible? [13:52] bazhang yeah maybe [13:52] IndyGunFreak: Heh, I remember when I got my second... thought life was great, then the 3rd... the 4th... and the 5th(different computer) [13:52] bazhang do u know how to set a window manager as default? [13:52] I run a ubuntu server with ispconfig on it... is there a way I can also put on some kind of other admin tool that will let me create FTP accounts only?

It could be this happens daily, and today was the first time I was awake to witness it. [13:53] bazhang I mean a window manager like compiz [13:53] i like thunar a lot [13:53] Hi all, I'm new to ubuntu (new to linux), so be patient with me :) [13:53] keeps everything neat [13:54] Forsakensoul better than nothing , I believe u need to find the right encoding for ur lang [13:54] Blu_Ciccio, hi [13:54] yep [13:54] welcome Blu_Ciccio [13:54] Blu_Ciccio don't worry a lot of ppl here are new, including me, welcome! [13:54] does any one can help me how to use this script [13:54] n2diy_: so be gentle with that old box.... and consider spreading the maintenace runs over different times of the day (and disable unnecessary stuff, like updatedb on a server that never changes) [13:54] amerio: you want to set appearances in the system--preferences--appearance like that always start up with effects? [13:55] Thx all! I've this problem: I' want to translate the app zenity (italian) so I've download the source... (continue) [13:55] bazhang well I have a problem , it seems that I removed the default window manager by wrong , and I've set up compiz to load on startup , so after login I get no borders until compiz loads , but it takes 1 or 2 minutes to load compiz [13:55] Blu_Ciccio: try and put your questions into one post please [13:56] amerio: you uninstalled metacity? [13:56] ok, i'm enjoying Ubuntu, I love it, but there are still some problems. One of them is that I still don't seem to have the right fonts. for example, any Google page in Firefox looks compressed [13:56] bazhang I didnt but its not loading on startup [13:56] !fonts | wyclif [13:56] wyclif: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [13:56] and that's after grabbing the fonts. [13:56] and try to modify the file 'it.po' but when i compile the programs keep the previous translation and I cant refresh mine! (sorry for multi post) [13:57] amerio: you want to permanently disable compiz/effects? [13:57] bazhang I want to make compiz loads on startup , it loads but after 1 Minute [13:57] <_Dbug_> ok, display is back... thanks [13:57] amerio do you thing that by any chance the encoding in bsplayer in win would match the right encoding here ? [13:57] does anyone know if verizon internet services allows hosting a web server, or if they block the ports? [13:58] amerio: I think that would be a limitation of your graphic card system and not really a software issue [13:58] wyclif: one common problem is the dpi-settings not being right. win and osx use 96, x used to be 72, but iirc that changed to 96 in ubuntu already by default [13:58] rufus: I think they allow the ports, but their policy says you can't run one [13:58] thanks [13:58] rufus not really the right channel for that [13:58] rufus: they probably block but you can get around by port forwarding to 8080 or something like that [13:58] sorry [13:58] stefg: roger that. No servers running here, the other box is this one's clone, and is my back up/test box. They're 1997 IBM Intellistations, with dual PII processors. They have worn out there fare share of mice, keyboards, and hard drives. [13:58] bazhang if its a limitation of my graphic card then it would take 1 minute to load from ALT+F2 but as soon as I type compiz --replace in window , it loads too fast [13:59] no one can help? where programs in ubuntu store their inter. file and how can update this file? [13:59] amerio: try metacity --replace in the run command window--does that do anything?

I just looked there in the past but channels like !software can't help me! [14:01] amerio yeah i found it in google in a bg forum [14:01] bazhang well it doesnt matter if it takes long time to load , but after login there is no windows borders and I need to wait for a minute for compiz 2 load so the windows borders appear again [14:01] Blu_Ciccio: when you say inter file what do you mean precisely? [14:02] amerio: in ccsm there is a plugin called window decorations or some such--have you tried to enable that? [14:02] Forsakensoul I told u , it only works here with english subtitle but i didnt figure it out how 2 make it work with my native lang too [14:02] bazhang: sorry, "internalization" file for change the language of the program ;) [14:03] amerio: failing that, you might want to ask the experts in #compiz-fusion [14:03] Blu_Ciccio: the language localization file you mean? [14:03] Anybody playing with Sabre? I installed it, and when I run it from the CLI I get "Cannot get I/O permissions", when I run it as sudo, I get "command not found"?

[17:07] I can't set the path correctly [17:07] if I use /usr/lib/mozilla [17:07] am still stuck with unmovable windows, and cant alt+tab either, i have already done dpkg-reconfigure, however if I am remoted in via ssh -X on same host, I can move windows around and alt_tab [17:07] it returns please enter a valid path [17:08] Arelis: easy way, goto console and uninstall compiz, or manually change settings === cE_cRi_tMn is now known as Co_Lunar [17:08] Blaise69-> you tried ~/.mozilla ? [17:08] Arelis: have you tried using the recovery mode option when you start up the computer? [17:08] how can i remap my mouse buttons and what they do? [17:08] Joe_: .... err, is there a recovery mode? [17:08] WARNING: /home/alexander/Downloads/~/.mozilla is not a directory. [17:09] Joe_: Also, how can i manually change settings? [17:09] Hello.. can anyone help me to remove the kernel module of virtualbox-ose? I remove vb whit apt-get remove, but the kernel module has not been removed.. [17:09] arelis: Do you see the grub menu when you start your computer? [17:09] Blaise69, you added an extra /~/ [17:09] Joe_: yes [17:09] yes [17:09] arelis: second one should say something like Ubuntu....(Recovery Mode) [17:09] sorry, I'm lost, what exactly should I type? [17:09] Joe_: what happens when i login to that? [17:09] Blaise69-> your /home/alexander/.mozilla == ~/.mozilla [17:09] Blaise69, if you're trying to get to your mozilla directly, type "cd ~/.mozilla" [17:10] jion: you can search the package name via `dpkg-query -S /lib/modules/.../...ko` ... maybe that helps [17:10] arelis: should bring you into Ubuntu with minimal things running, ie no compiz [17:10] Is it possible to change the style of trackers gnome-applet? (I don't want it to open a seperate window but use the in-panel thing. Just like it was before gutsy final.) like this: http://tinyurl.com/36qbt8 [17:10] I installed libtorrent and rtorrent from apt-get and then through SVN.. SVN didn't work and now I want to go back to apt-get version but my attempts have failed.. How can I force something 'installed' to reinstall forcefully with all dependencies? [17:10] ok [17:10] Hi all [17:10] I'm typing "~/.mozilla" and I get the following warning [17:10] I basically cannot resize an NTFS partition without it throwing an error [17:10] arelis: And you can then disable Compiz from the apperance menu. Another option is to use CTRL-F1 after the system starts up and get a command line, and then do things by hand(I don't know the commands for compiz, you'll have to google that) [17:11] WARNING: /home/alexander/Downloads/~/.mozilla is not a directory. [17:11] am still stuck with unmovable windows, and cant alt+tab either, i have already done dpkg-reconfigure, however if I am remoted in via ssh -X on same host, I can move windows around and alt_tab , what does gnome-session do when executed from remote ? [17:11] Is the rtl8187 module buggy on 64bit ? It randomly drops connection [17:11] CharlieSu: did you specify a prefix for installation when you compiled from SVN? is everything put into /usr/local? ... maybe `make uninstall` works for that package [17:11] Blaise69: use /home/alexander/.mozilla in place of ~/.mozilla [17:11] Blaise69, type "cd ~/.mozilla" [17:11] I ran flashplayer-installer from my downlaods directory [17:11] !iso [17:11] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [17:11] andi5: i didn't do a prefix.. i was dumb [17:11] andi5: what should i do if i didn't use prefix? [17:11] yes but I'm not actually in the file browser, I'm running flashplayer-installer [17:12] Starnestommy-> what was that command you told me earlier? dpkg-reconfigure metacity ? that did not invoke anything it seems [17:12] It's asking me for the directory of my mozilla folder [17:12] daxro1: i see those warning when running `dmesg` as well.... i simply unload the module, unplug the stick, plug it again and reload squid... happens once a week or so [17:12] bkar: try sudo aptitude reinstall metacity [17:12] which is outside of my home [17:12] Blaise69, oh, just type ".mozilla" it seems to add your home folder for you. [17:12] CharlieSu: well, take a look at /usr/local/... and `make uninstall` [17:12] WARNING: /home/alexander/Downloads/.mozilla is not a directory. [17:12] Blaise69-> am not sure if you are aware yet, there is a problem with flash plugin in the past week or two, its broken [17:12] yep. it's always adding my home [17:13] it should be just in /alexander/ not /Downloads/ [17:13] andi5: it isn't in /usr/local. i did make uninstall.. how how do i install apt version? [17:13] Blaise69: You trying to install the adobe flash plugin? [17:13] CharlieSu: `apt-get install compiz` ... i suppose [17:13] funny. netbeans is working with the icedtea java jdk [17:13] joe, bkar, yes I'm running it from the downloadable tar off their site [17:13] What library do I need to use the qmake command? [17:13] CharlieSu: sudo apt-get install compiz [17:13] as the assisted method doesn't work [17:13] Starnestommy-> do you know what gnome-session does from a remote login? i can move windows and alt+tab from it, but im am logged in locally I cant move any windows nor alt+tab [17:13] why compiz? i'm talking about rtorrent and libtorrent [17:14] blaise69: So you're running flash-installer ? [17:14] yep [17:14] and its asking for my mozilla directory [17:14] syntaxerror55: have you tried to type `qmake` in a terminal? it should give you names of packages that contain this binary... i suppose libqt4-dev or qt3-dev-tools, whatever you prefer [17:14] Blaise69 trying to isntall it for firefox? [17:14] is there a symbol for the root? [17:14] yes for firefox [17:15] have you run firefox at all [17:15] andi5: what warnings ? I can connect fine just drops connection and does not reconnect times out. [17:15] armine, i did what was on the wiki and now i get this error from compiz --replace -> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3712/ [17:15] no [17:15] it's closed [17:15] Blaise69 but you have run it at least once? [17:15] yes before [17:16] andi5, I tried, it said qmake is not a command. [17:16] syntaxerror55: sudo apt-get install qmake? [17:16] blaise69: odd that it didn't autodetect it, did for me. Try giving it /home//.mozilla [17:16] andi5: worked.. thanks [17:16] daxro1: hm... maybe you see another bug then [17:16] Starnestommy, E: Couldn't find package qmake [17:16] im having some trouble burning a dvd, it doesnt give me a path to burn to [17:17] WARNING: Please enter a valid installation path. [17:17] blaise69 ok, give me a sec and I'll tell you how to manually install it... that script doesn't do much [17:17] andi5: you know if its possible to get ndiswrapper 32bit drivers working on a 64bit system [17:17] daxro1: i guess that will work [17:17] daxro1: I'm using a 32-bit driver on a 64-bit system [17:17] blaise69 in your home directory do you see the directory .mozilla ? Might need to goto View -> Show Hidden [17:17] thanks [17:17] no! [17:18] armine: in short the problem compiz has is that my driver does not support GL_texture_from_pixmap [17:18] No? [17:18] there is no /mozilla directory [17:18] Starnestommy: what driver ? [17:18] .mozilla [17:18] aw okay it is possible [17:18] daxro1: the one for a linksys wmp54g [17:18] Blaise69: /.mozilla is hidden. [17:18] ah [17:18] yes :D [17:18] I do when I show hidden [17:18] im not very involved in graphics hardware/programming etc. but it can be [17:18] pardon me [17:18] blaise69: ok, just making sure it's there [17:18] Starnestommy: you have a guide or know of one ? [17:18] armine: yeah well looks like a case of 'bad luck' for me :) [17:19] ~/.mozilla should be the directory [17:19] maybe I should move these files? [17:19] out fo the downloads folder [17:19] what does "~" do? [17:20] Blaise69: ~ is an alias for /home/username [17:20] ~ means home [17:20] home dir [17:20] blaise69: So you run the flashplayer-installer, press enter, and then what does it show you? [17:20] where do one configure xwindows locked in one position of the desktop? and also alt+tab dont work on my desktop ? [17:20] Blaise69, ~ stands for /home/ for whatever user you are logged in as [17:20] unless it is used as ~whoever, which maps to the home directory of the user named whoever :-) [17:20] when I do sudo ./flashplayer-installer [17:20] how do i search in my installed packages ? [17:20] blaise69 you aren't running it as root, or doing sudo are you? [17:20] it loads up the welcome screen [17:20] says press Enter [17:20] blaise69 don't do sudo [17:20] then please close browsers [17:20] but dangit if I am remoted in, i can move the windows...grrr [17:20] ok.. [17:20] Blaise69: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:21] .... I still cannot get Ubuntu to resize this NTFS partition [17:21] I have tried manual mode and guided mode on installer and gparted [17:21] :| [17:21] and it always throws an error [17:21] then ah... [17:21] ok [17:21] I've installed vsftpd but when I type in "/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart" the normal prompts that say "stopping service" and "starting service" don't come up. Instead it simply goes back to the terminal prompt. [17:21] blaise69 just run it as yourself, and it should find your .mozilla directory on it's own [17:21] now it says (without sudo) the player will be installed in .mozilla folder [17:21] yes it haz [17:21] *has [17:21] jawee-> im not even aware ubuntu disk partitioner can resize ntfs partitions [17:21] jawee, resizing partitions is always dangerous, any chance you have a different option? like backing up your data and reinstalling? [17:21] that's where you want it, should be ok now [17:22] right [17:22] can somebody help me with qdvdauthor? [17:22] for some strange reason firefox keeps trying to install flash, however flash is already installed [17:22] now it says I need to remove the xpti.dat file from the components dir of my mozilla directory [17:22] MasterShrek: well, I need to [17:22] incorrect: did you restart the browser? [17:22] MasterShrek: do I need to use different software? I'm just trying to dualbooot Vista and Ubuntu) [17:22] yes [17:22] incorrect: It isn't, there is a problem with the repos. Goto adobe.com and download the flash plugin from there and run the flashplayer-installer [17:23] incorrect: i suppose all windows? ... what does the website "about:plugins" show you? [17:23] help [17:23] jawee, im not sure, i never resize partitions [17:23] There is no components folder though [17:23] Any suggestions on an editor for haskell? [17:23] blaise69 didn't say that for me, but I'd just follow the instructions and should be ok [17:23] eugman: emacs? [17:23] hmm.. :\ [17:23] blaise69 odd... start up firefox and see if it works? [17:23] I have to keep the Vista install as it isn't my laptop [17:24] :( [17:24] Ah, yes flash works now, thanks joe, that's very useful [17:24] blaise69: np [17:24] I'd rather avoid it a little longer but I suppose I have to learn emacs or vi sometime. Can both be learned concurrently? [17:24] any good with installing ATi X1900 drivers? [17:24] windows is only good for games [17:24] I've installed vsftpd but when I type in "/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart" the normal prompts that say "stopping service" and "starting service" don't come up. Instead it simply goes back to the terminal prompt. [17:24] blasie69: Not I, I use Nvidia atm though my next computer will use ATI [17:24] Gah, Ati... [17:24] I would recommend not getting ATi [17:24] incorrect: If you download the .tar from the adobe site for flash and run it's installer you'll get it working without a problem [17:25] can somebody help me with qdvdauthor? [17:25] in all seriousness, even if it were for a windows machine [17:25] blaise69: Their latest cards look pretty good, and if they do as they say and open up the drivers things will only get better [17:25] eugman: hm... i learned emacs first and would suggest that, because i think it gives you more in the long run ... vi is useful if you plan to login into a lot of different / server machines someday... but hey, that is a topic for flamewars :) [17:25] andi5: Nano ftw! [17:25] How much space do I need for an Ubuntu install? there is a 1572MB system partition I can use for now [17:25] Joe_, thanks [17:25] incorrect, that's incorrect ;) For the normal user, maybe that's true, but for professionals in need of specific software, Windows is the only solution [17:25] Hey guys having some trouble with my soundcard "Audigy LS" - under the alsamixer it shows some odd options like IEC958 front analog center/LFE Analog Front etc etc but none of these settings really do anything when I adjust them.. my internal soundcard has like master sound and bunch of other settings.. I think I broke something on my creative card? [17:25] they opened the specs for the ati cards [17:26] hi there [17:26] how do i search through my installed packages ? I want to find out which package, listed with "sudo apt-cache search" are installed [17:26] i got a mac installer (*.dmg), how may i install this file to my ubuntu? [17:26] *packages [17:26] So when will we finally see good drivers for the Ati cards on Linux? [17:26] eugen: I don't think mac installers can be run on ubuntu [17:26] mattis: System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager [17:26] cat Blasise69 | tee code.adobe.com [17:26] if ATI drivers where open source i could take the GL_texture_from_bitmap from Mesa and implement it in fglrx and have my compiz [17:27] Starnestommy: okay thank you [17:27] Joe_: is there a shell command too ? [17:27] blaise69: Problaby will take a little while... but I can hope soon [17:27] mattis: apt-cache search? [17:27] so what the hell are ati waiting for to make their xxx drivers open source? [17:27] Joe_: well no [17:27] mattis: installed ones.. dpkg handles everything you installed [17:27] bsod2: Please watch the language [17:28] sorry [17:28] http://zenwhen.com/images/minizen.png [17:28] lool [17:28] oops [17:28] matttis: `dpkg -l `, and i think can be a regular expression... but i do not know for sure [17:28] I've installed vsftpd but when I type in "/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart" the normal prompts that say "stopping service" and "starting service" don't come up. Instead it simply goes back to the terminal prompt. [17:28] hello [17:28] whats a gpg key? [17:29] !gpg [17:29] gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [17:29] anyone who knows a good program for cutting, copying and pasting sound? [17:29] igge, audacity [17:29] mattis: cat /var/lib/dpkg/status lists everything installed [17:29] how do i chose a mount point for blank dvd's? [17:29] igge: see MasterShrek [17:29] http://www.qualiteam.biz/images/logos/ubuntu.gif [17:29] i hate it that 64bit linux is still a bit of a second class citizen [17:30] Joe_: thanks, thats what i neede [17:30] d [17:30] incorrect: hm... depends on what you need... it works perfectly for me for i think 18 months or so [17:30] MasterShrek: thanks [17:30] mattis: Np, I used that just a few days ago when I trashed my system and had to reinstall... made life much easier when trying to remember what I had installed [17:31] ok I think my problem is related to losing my master mixer for my soundcard.. Would a creative audigy LS by default not have a Master Mixer? I think I remember it having something butI messed with some settings and I think a broke it what can I do? [17:31] andi5, well if i want flash i have run the 32bit version of firefox [17:31] sigh [17:31] hi its me again.. how ato isntall a tar.gz? [17:31] incorrect: Yeah... reason I went with 32bit ubuntu... amoung others... one day 64bit will be better [17:32] TTFN [17:32] anyone here know how to use qdvdauthor? [17:32] but it took a while for 32bit to take hold from 16bit [17:32] incorrect: well... in ubuntu gutsy, i simply go to youtube.com, click on the "missing plugin" space, let ubufox choose the adobe plugin and install everything... reload firefox and tada.... that is what i did :) [17:32] yer. my 64bit firefox is working fine with flash [17:32] flughafen I know how to author dvds via CLI if you want [17:33] You said you chose 32bit, for the flash reason, among others, what others are these? [17:33] i had to do work to make flash work on my gutsy [17:33] Joe_, i just dont know what to put for the path to burn the dvd [17:33] chimp: Wine wasn't playing nice [17:33] Wine has issues in 64bit? [17:33] Wine? ... you mean the windows emulation? ... how does that relatve to firefox? [17:33] Joe_, any ideas? [17:34] flughafen /dev/dvd ? [17:34] Joe_, there is no dvd [17:34] said firefox/flash not working was one of the reasons I decided on 32bit, I was having issues getting things working with wine under 64bit as well [17:34] Joe, in dev [17:34] Ubuntu 32bit > 64bit if you're trying to do anything :| [17:35] I tried 64bit Dapper and it annoyed the hell out of me; I've used 32bit ever since [17:35] flughafen should be under /dev or /media [17:35] Joe_: so you are using the i386 ubuntu packages, not just 32bit firefox? [17:35] andi5, doesn't work for me [17:36] Joe_, my drives are under media, my blank dvd's do not get mounted to the drives. It says not mounted when i see the dvd properties [17:36] Hi everybody [17:36] andi5 yeah, completely 32bit Ubuntu [17:36] bahman, hi [17:36] Joe_ when i put in a dvd with stuff on it it goes to media [17:36] To be honest i havent had any issues with 64 bit except flash, but that works now [17:36] Joe_: dpkg -l | grep "^ii" seems even better [17:36] Mattis: yeah, if you want to search, heh [17:37] flughafen where do blank ones get mounted then? [17:37] hey you guys, i have ubuntu 7.10 running and of course it is on apache 2.2.4 right now, i saw apache 2.2.8 came out not to long ago and want to give it a shot but couldn't find config.nice file to play with, can anyone help me out on that? :) [17:37] Joe_ it says "not mounted" [17:38] flughafen might be a dumb question, but you sure you have a dvd burner? [17:38] Joe_ hah yea [17:38] Joe_ it works fine with brasero and gnomebaker [17:38] Joe_ qdvdauthor just cant find a path to burn to [17:39] is this the best place to download ubuntu http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [17:39] hello there. Is anyone familiar with re-mapping buttons in the xorg.conf file? [17:39] Flughafen: /dev/dvdrw1? [17:39] STRG + R in shell searches the cache. Is it possible to change the direction to search for newer input ? [17:39] flughafen hmm... if it's not somewhere under /dev... got me then, I do all my avi to dvd stuff in terminal and use /dev/dvd [17:39] andi5, not there [17:39] <_Andrew> Question, I have an application running on port 3389 and when I test if it is open on a website it says connection refused. I think it is Ubuntu.. Is there a command to open a port I can try so I can test again and see if it is Ubuntu? [17:40] hi. after a short while, my touchpad becomes completely useless, it just clicks randomly the left and right mouse buttons. can i somehow restart the driver? [17:40] hello there. Is anyone familiar with re-mapping buttons in the xorg.conf file? [17:40] Joe_ do you know how to chose a mount point for a blank dvd? it says "not mounted" [17:40] flughafen: You have anything under /dev that has dvd in it? [17:40] Joe_ no [17:40] Hi all :) [17:40] Flughafen: you may want to take a look at /sys/block... maybe it contains some information [17:41] installing ubuntu on a shiney new server, thought I'd hang out in here while I do it :) === Ttech is now known as W6JCN [17:41] matttis: what do you mean with "change directory"? [17:41] hello there. Is anyone familiar with re-mapping buttons in the xorg.conf file? [17:41] KrisWood: So you'll be in here for about 15 minutes? heh [17:41] andi5: i says change direct_ion_ [17:42] hey, Im getting an error when I'm trying to do a package update [17:42] Joe: maybe a little longer, depending on problems if any arise :D [17:42] There was an error committing changes. Possibly there was an error downloading some packages or a commit would break packages. [17:42] Hi everybody [17:42] is there a way to burn a disk image with qdvdauthor? [17:42] Could I install Updates when I have a new ubuntu on my PC?! [17:43] bahman: Not sure what you mena... [17:43] matttis: i am not sure i understand what you mean :-( [17:43] Could I install Updates when I have a new ubuntu on my PC?! I backup packages in 1 dvd [17:43] how do i set my mouse back to default buttons? [17:44] can anyone help me with setting up OpenSSH server [17:44] Is it possible, that ubuntu crashs down my dsl-router??? [17:44] i thought i chose to install it, but i dont see it anywhere in the gnome menus [17:45] Joe_ hi, windows crashed my ubuntu, I also backup downloaded update packegaes in a DVD, how could I install them instead of redownload them?! [17:45] blgrnboy: if you installed the server then it is running already most likely... what gui application did you expect? [17:45] tumbleweed__ : hey tumble!.... nothing worked so i loaded the live cd... and copied the xorg definitions to my hd... then... pico should have a copy/paste feature... but it turns out that it worked [17:45] looking for discussion of GanttProject v OpenProj; pm is welcome, as are links [17:45] Joe_ Is there any way?! === HP_Administrator is now known as phaedral [17:45] moin [17:45] the flash package in synaptic isnt working yet? [17:45] tumbleweed__ : so thanks man.... thanks again [17:45] bahman you backed up the actual packages that were downloaded? [17:45] armine no it isn't, download from adobe directly [17:46] ok [17:46] mmmh but i can still download the package [17:46] hey, Im getting an error when I'm trying to do a package update [17:46] There was an error committing changes. Possibly there was an error downloading some packages or a commit would break packages. [17:46] How, in the networkmanager application can I make it so it will only connect to one certain network, or just block out a certain network? [17:46] Joe_ : there is a package right? [17:46] i found one on the web working... [17:46] rodrigo : no prob [17:46] Joe_ Yeah, I backup packages with "APTonCD" [17:47] armine there is a package in there, but it's broken. adobe.com has a tar you can download and then run the flashplayer-installer that comes in the tar and you'll be good [17:47] okay [17:47] Joe_ Also I'm a new user of Ubuntu :) [17:47] but does it work in 64bits? [17:47] bahman if they actual packages are in there you should be able to just run them and dpkg will install them... or I believe there is a setting in Synaptic Package Manager to tell it to look at a DVD/CD first === W6JCN is now known as TheMaster [17:48] armine can't tell you... I use 32Bit [17:48] That X server update fiasco really bullocks-up my system... I had to upgrade to hardy's X + drivers to get things working and in the process the kernel changed and foobar-ed up a bunch of device stuff [17:48] okay [17:48] armine: adobe relea Hi guys, is there a way to run compiz fusion, but have metacity themes at the same time? [17:48] okay i found a working package for flash in 64bits (with 32 bits plugin wrapper I guess) === mohd is now known as computerex [17:48] <_Andrew> I have an application running on port 3389 and when I test if it is open on a port testing website it says connection refused. Is there a command to open a port I can try so I can test again and see if it is Ubuntu? [17:49] http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10804892/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_amd64.deb [17:49] this one [17:49] _Andrew your router probably isn't forwarding that port to your computer correctly [17:49] howdy [17:49] Joe_ Really thanks, in Synaptic Package Manager we could see ADD CD-ROM... in EDIT menu :D [17:49] Any have never tried mondorescue? Is normal that for making catalog spent over than 1 hour? My filelist.full is 200mb it's normal? [17:49] <_Andrew> Joe_: I thought that so I changed the port (so that it breaks) and it says the connection timed out [17:49] Joe_ I love Ubuntu [17:49] bahman np [17:49] _Andrew: `netstat -tln` will show you listening ports and on what devices they listen... i suppose you are separated from the internet by a router that das network address translation? :) [17:50] Is there a way to run compiz but have metacity be the window border decorator? [17:50] _Andrew you'll have to look at the documentation for your router(assuming the command andi5 gave you shows it's open) and see how to forward the port [17:50] Right now compiz --replace switches the decorator to emerald, and metacity --replace turns off compiz fusion [17:50] i was wondering if i could get some help with installing a driver, i'm pretty much in the dark about installing anything on linux, only using software when everything is working heh [17:51] <_Andrew> Joe_: Thanks, I can see from the output that the port isn't open [17:51] so, is it possible or recommendable to install ubuntu over software raid? [17:51] methos_ what driver? [17:51] my PCMCIA card isn't working, i have my old windows drivers for it but thats it, the manufacturers don't support linux [17:52] how can I pass a parameter to a module? [17:52] buffalo wireless card wli-cb-g54s [17:52] <_Andrew> Joe_: Now I know the port isn't open.. how do I open it.. or do I have to change this program? [17:52] google for linux drivers for that... if you're lucky there is a free version that does support your card, if not... probably SOL [17:52] peepsalot: while autoloading or manually? [17:52] hiffy: Possible ..yes.. I personally dont care for software raid.. [17:52] andi5, i'm not sure [17:52] peepsalot: are you typing modprobe? [17:53] Jack_Sparrow: I've got these two 40 gb drives sitting around. it's a shame to leave one idle [17:53] server irc.oftc.net [17:53] whats modprobe?, i'll give it a shot [17:53] binder@hotmail.com [17:53] andi5, no, it's autoloadding on boot I suppose [17:53] _andrew if it isn't open on your router, you'll have to see how your router is configured(normally do ifconfig in terminal then goto the ip address listed as your gateway in a web browser) [17:53] hiffy: Use one for / root and the other for /home [17:54] Jack_Sparrow: Hm. Hadn't thought of that. [17:54] andi5, for AC97 [17:54] sorry, nm, that question wasn't for me ll [17:54] peepsalot: take a look at the files in /etc/modprobe.d/ ... they contain some good examples, ... then create an empty file in that directory, maybe "local" and add a corresponding options line [17:54] <_Andrew> Joe_: It is being forwarded to this computer, but the connection is being refused because even though the program I am using says it is running on port xxxx when I entered the command you gave me it wasn't [17:54] _andrew ie if it says your gateway is 192.168.0.1 then you would put 192.168.0.1 in firefox and you should get a webpage that lets you configure port forwarding... if that doesn't work you'll have to check the manual for your router [17:54] hello [17:54] hiffy: I would split/artition the one into two 20's root and /var to keep dowloads seperate to simplify rebuilds.. [17:54] _andrew the netstat one? [17:55] Found the fix, switch to the gtk window decorator with : gtk-window-decorator --replace [17:55] <_Andrew> Joe_: yup [17:55] _andrew if the netstat didn't list it... then whatever that program is didn't bind the port correctly... which port were you trying to bind? [17:55] i am having an issue firing up a KDE app, == dcopserver error and mime type errors. any ideas? [17:55] <_Andrew> It doesn't show the port as listening.. infact it isn't listed [17:55] Joe_, sure seems like they're keeping you busy today :D [17:55] isn't there a way to extract the information in the .inf driver file that was for windows and modify it for linux? [17:55] Jack_Sparrow: I'm the type to never touch /var, but I'm liking the /home being on a separate drive. I agree on the rebuild simplicity [17:55] KrisWood heh, I'm bored waiting for a meeting :P [17:55] come si fa a caricare un addon in ubuntu??? [17:56] Joe_, ah yes, always fun :D [17:56] _andrew you trying to bind a port below 1024? [17:56] <_Andrew> Joe_: 3389 [17:56] _andrew not sure then, not knowing the program you're using I could't tell you why it isn't binding properly... is it something you wrote or a program you downloaded? [17:56] hiffy: then dont creat sep /var but a sep partition for data and keep copy of /var/cache/apt/archives in there too [17:56] Jack_Sparrow: so, why your distaste for software raid? [17:57] <_Andrew> It's a server emulator [17:57] hiffy: I have had to recover and fix more than a few.. [17:57] andi5, so it doesn't really matter what file I put it in? [17:57] _Andrew: but the program is running, right? ... check `ps faux | less` :) [17:58] hiffy: Softraid /winraid was nice when drives were really sloe ata33 and 66.. but with these new drives... not so much of an issue [17:58] peepsalot: please add an own one so that package updates do not conflict with you changes (at least no merge is tried, but you will be asked questions (at least on the cli)) [17:58] heh. [17:58] i can't see any drivers on google for my wireless card, is there no other way to get it working? [17:58] Methos what card? [17:58] methos_ if there are no official linux drivers for it, and it isn't supported by any of the free ones... doesn't sound like it [17:59] wli-cb-g54s [17:59] aww geez :( [17:59] !ndiswrapper [17:59] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [17:59] hey, how can I format my memory card? sth like vfat /media/disk doenst work :( [17:59] so even a tech savvy person couldn't manipulate the windows drivers to work for it? [17:59] ndiswrapper [17:59] ndiswrapper [17:59] yeah, they should [18:00] au_, mkfs.vfat /dev/xxxx [18:00] au_: `sudo mkfs.vfat /media/disk`?

[18:00] ndiswrapper should* do the trick [18:00] au_: use gparted [18:00] !ndiswrapper [18:00] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [18:00] au_: oh, take the device, just like MasterShrek said [18:00] thanks, i'll look into that [18:01] Can someone help me get my desktop effects working on a ATI Radeon 7500 [18:01] wait a minute...I need that too about the flash acrd [18:01] didn't found much stuff [18:01] err.. compiz is all messed u [18:01] added tifm_sd to modules [18:01] au@fermoy:~$ sudo mkfs.vfat /media/disk [18:01] mkfs.vfat 2.11 (12 Mar 2005) [18:01] mkfs.vfat: unable to open /media/disk [18:01] has anyone in here tried to file taxes using turbotax i keep getting sent to a system requirement check page [18:01] did modprobe aqnd it worked [18:01] andi5: seems ok when roaming is off ?

(Which one is most used?) [18:01] system compatibility check page [18:01] how do i get back to the basic gnome so i can run compiz again [18:01] hanophix33: Not too hard.. need to manually edit your xorg [18:01] au_: try gparted, its gui [18:01] now what is the coomand to mount [18:02] whats the gnome equivelent of kwin ?

[18:02] i'm using powertop to try to optimize my laptop's power usage. one thing it suggests is: Suggestion: Enable wireless power saving mode by executing the following command: iwpriv eth1 set_power 5 This will sacrifice network performance slightly to save power. [18:02] jack_sparrow: newbie here [18:02] ahahah [18:02] yeah,,,But waht is the dev? [18:02] daxro1: well, i am satisfied with the quality i have here, given that my card before that one did not work at all ;-) [18:02] so do I need to put that in some config file to make it work on every boot, or will that command be permanent? [18:02] jack_sparrow: is there a way to see if this card is even able to run effects? [18:02] woot, I love how ubuntu works straight out of the box [18:03] me too :) [18:03] daxro1: even fresh drivers sent from realtek did not help [18:03] ey anyone here? [18:03] no digging through configuration files [18:03] hanophix33: Trust me.. it can.. hopefully you did not try to install fglrx [18:03] can someone help me please [18:03] Hello. I'm trying to SSH to an Ubuntu server, but I can't connect to it, I just get the error "Connection refused". All the neccecery ports are open. How can I make it work? [18:03] peepsalot, no it won't. put it in /etc/rc.local [18:03] jack_sparrow: i am sure i did [18:03] KrisWood unless you try to do something special like 4 monitors and 2 video cards... [18:03] I always forget something when I have to do stuff manually hehe [18:03] zimon, ok thanks [18:03] assid..what do you need? speak up man ! :) [18:03] jack_sparrow: in fact, i am sure i did [18:03] hanophix33: We will need to remove it.. so open synaptic and plull it out [18:03] Achoth: did you specify the correct user name and password? does `ssh -vvv user@server` help? [18:03] Joe_, thankfully this is a server box, no need for anything fancy :) [18:03] Achoth, connect using ip, not hostname [18:04] It's still installing but I can ping it already :D [18:04] hanophix33: If you can be quick I will walk you through it.. [18:04] jv_: every now and then i end up with borderless windows.. how do i get them back (happens since compiz got activated) [18:04] MasterShrek: Tried that [18:04] KrisWood yeah... took me 3 days to get my main desktop converted from XP to Ubuntu... stupid multi monitors that I would die without [18:04] jack_sparrow: no installs on here [18:04] Assid, emerald --replace [18:04] Achoth: btw, you are trying to ssh to an ubuntu server? are you sure you are allowed to do that anyway? :) [18:04] assid: I had that before...

(Which one is most used?) [18:05] MasterShrek: cant get run to run [18:05] andi5: Yes, I am actually :p [18:05] Joe_, yeah I went through that last time I tried to get my desktop into ubuntu [18:05] alt+f2? [18:05] with nvidia I missed a line in xorg.conf [18:05] jack_sparrow: already installed [18:05] Achoth: nice :) then see above [18:05] JinRoh: X-Chat is designed for KDE, but runs on Gnome(default for Ubuntu, Kubuntu uses KDE), I prefer X-Chat personally, even on Gnome [18:05] how do i verify my public key ?? [18:05] MasterShrek: kvirc to the rescue : /run xterm :P [18:05] Joe_, unfortunately I was unable to get 3dsmax working in ubuntu so had to go back to windows :( [18:06] look in google for window decorations missing with keywords compiz or beryl [18:06] hanophix33: Ok gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [18:06] JinRoh: And like Soju much?

[18:06] jack_sparrow: ok [18:06] hanophix33: The few lines you need to add are on this page I am making of my notes.. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52798/ [18:06] JinRoh: Heh, assumed by your name you knew Korean... JinRoh is the name of a company that makes Soju(traditional Korean rice wine) [18:07] Joe_, xchat is designed for gnome not kde [18:07] is someone here having problems with Debian Menu? [18:07] Joe_, JinRoh is also the name of an anime movie :) [18:07] Joe_, xchat-gnome is xchat with minimal configuration options [18:07] yes, it's from the anime :p [18:07] one of my fav anime of all time too :) [18:08] kbrooks oops, my bad... X-chat is still better IMO [18:08] kbrooks: ah, interesting.... so it follows the idea to choose sensible defaults and reduce choices? [18:08] I like dark stuff that messes with my head hehe [18:08] zimon, at what time during boot does rc.local run? [18:08] XChat 2.8.4, Peter Zelezny, is different from XChat (gnome)... think so [18:08] andi5, nod [18:08] jack_sparrow: thanks [18:08] Owleto, yes [18:08] Assid: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xgl_Troubleshooting#Gnome_Window_Decoration_Missing [18:08] might work [18:08] hanophix33: I'll be back in a few. let me know if it worked or where you had a problem.. [18:08] i think xchat-gnome is a mod if the normal xchat [18:09] peepsalot, it's one of the last [18:09] what? don't like sensible defaults? don't install it then... wth [18:09] guys, im trying to compile the latest iwl3945 driver and im receiving this output... could you please help me http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52797/ [18:09] hanophix33: I want to make that easy for users of ati pre9500 cards [18:09] jimmygoon: was that a directed burst-out? :) [18:09] I like the default look of X-Chat over X-Chat Gnome personally [18:10] HOW DO I VERIFY MY PUBLIC KEY ?? [18:10] hmm im trying xchat (just xchat) now, it seems nicer (color scheme, Im too lazy to change it in -gnome) [18:10] !caps > amish [18:10] btw, is there like a "Compiz-Fusion for Dummies" introductory guide? [18:10] I don't know exactly what I can do with it :) [18:11] amish: Instead of using capital letters, explain what you mean [18:11] when i run d update ... it says " W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org gutsy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783 " [18:11] JinRoh: youTube? heh [18:11] JinRoh: They have a whole channel just for you.. [18:11] <_Andrew> Joe_: Thanks, I figured what the problem is. It's the program, I can forward other ports but not the one the program is working on. I'm going to go fix it now. later [18:11] !compiz [18:11] I am having a problem where thunderbird will not connect to SMTP servers. [18:11] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [18:11] Is there anyway to see what ports ubuntu is listening on? [18:11] mmm well I do know what compiz does but I'd like some kind of guide to know what keys to press :D [18:11] andi5, it was frustration with those bashing on gnome for having an app that provides defaults... I was annoyed because its dumb to fault gnome for that... just because someone makes an app doesn't mean its gnome specific (just because its NOT kxchat or w/e) and that there is still straight up xchat that can be configured... [18:12] chimp netstat [18:12] dts: Verify the port it is using to connect.. No need for firewall changes, just the config in thunderbird [18:12] thanks [18:12] chimp netstat -L... bah I forget... andi5 knows off the top of his head [18:12] hello everybody [18:12] chimp, Joe: netstat -tln ? :) [18:12] Hi, I'm trying to get my ubuntu laptop to use a wireless network that is being broadcast on a Mac (running OS X). The WEP key was set via a passphrase. How can I determine the hex key to give my laptop? Are there any programs that will tell me the correct key? I assume it's just some well known hash. [18:12] how do i verify my public key ?? [18:13] andi5 that would be what I was looking for... need more coffee, brain slowing down :P [18:13] i have a problem [18:13] andi5, not really though, I don't care enough and for the large part agree with the sentiment but still can't stand a lot about kde but thats just me so w/e :) [18:13] what fonts do you use in ubuntu? default fonts are ugly [18:13] jimmygoon: :-D ... actually i prefer pidgin anyway ... ;-) [18:13] pidgin ! [18:13] andi5, ugh, for irc... mm, painful :( [18:13] i have download a kde [18:13] !pidgin [18:13] pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It is available in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), but not previous versions. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info. To install Pidgin please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallPidgin2.0 [18:13] pdgin is godly... except for IRC [18:13] how do i verify my public key ?? [18:13] Joe_... [18:14] who would use pidgin for irc... c'mon [18:14] When I try to upgrade Dapper to 6.10 its want me to go all the way to 8.04 is there a way to fix this? [18:14] jimmygoon: it works... i am not a hard core ircler, so it suffices for me [18:14] when i update .. it says .."

[18:14] andi5, to each his/her own [18:14] Jack_Sparrow i tried every possible setting [18:14] exactly [18:14] ah I see [18:14] amish_, you have to apt-key and add the gpg key for that repository [18:14] I can't stand irc without the functionality of scripts and such [18:14] to each his own... but if you don't do things the way I do you're wrong! [18:14] and... if I tried to install flash directly with firefox (on gutsy, 32bit) and it didn't worked, now, how much damage have I did? [18:14] amish_, add this key: http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg [18:15] owleto you're fine, the repos are broke atm [18:15] Owleto, "damage" likely none at all [18:15] jimmygoon : how do i add ?? [18:15] Joe_, still?! [18:15] owleto goto adobe.com and download the tar file for the flash plugin, then run the flashplayer-installer that comes wth it and you'll be fine [18:15] !gpgkey [18:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about gpgkey - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:15] what fonts do you use in ubuntu? default fonts are ugly [18:15] !apt-key [18:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-key - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:16] i tried enable powersave mode for snd_ac97_codec, and now there is a wretched loud pop everytime a sound starts playing? is this to be expected. is that the price to pay for power saving? [18:16] jimmygoon think I've walked 3 people through it today after they complained it wasn't working :P [18:16] dang... [18:16] amish_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [18:16] can't fogure the sd card out [18:16] Joe_, flash has been broken for a few days if I understand correctly [18:16] jimmygoon : thnx dude ... [18:16] it does not show in gparted [18:16] If no one heard me Is there a way to upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10 instead of all the way to 8.04 like it wants me to???? [18:16] Jack_Sparrow: Keep this link in Mind Also could u add a factoid for me?http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=451011 [18:16] it was broken liek a week and a half ago and then two days ago I saw a buch of stuff got broken in the 7.10 repos [18:16] jimmygoon I'd say a bit logner... I couldn't install it 2 weeks ago and had to do it manually frm adobe [18:17] Elf_: like what wants you toL [18:17] Could Some 1 Add a factoid for me [18:17] Joe_, ugh, thats... unacceptable, not that I can do anything about it [18:17] !ubotu > darkmystere (read the private message from ubotu) [18:17] Joe_: ..Have I damaged something whilw trying do install directly from Firefox? Must I deistall something?

[18:18] owleto no, you're ok if you tried to install the adobe plugin from in firefox [18:18] jimmygoon, joe: thanks [18:18] owleto just goto adobe.com and download the tar file, then close firefox and run the installer and when you start up firefix you'll have flash! [18:18] jrid: I found a factoid that needs to be added for Toshiba Sattilite A105 Series that has the sound card:ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01), And having sound problems [18:19] Elf_: though it would probably be faster for you to just reinstall and do 7.10 (current stable). No real point in going to 6.10 since support is ending in a couple of months [18:20] hey people [18:20] Does anything in Ubuntu create IPOD movies from DVD? [18:20] Hwey [18:20] I need help [18:20] Ubuntu gets an IP...but has no connection [18:20] One more question how stable is 8.04 if it wants me to upgrade to it???

[18:21] 8.04 isn't even in beta [18:21] I mean.it has an IP..but cant ping anything or connectto anything [18:21] sd card [18:21] Elf_: it's not stable at all. It's the development version. Your command upgrades to the development version. It is the wrong command for upgrading. [18:21] be4 I go nuts [18:21] hello, do anyone know if you can upgrade glibc-2.3.6 to at least glibc-2.4 in Ubuntu 6.06 lts safely without upgradeing ubuntu itself? [18:21] 8.04 isn't due out until april 08... hence the 8.04 [18:22] I see what they did there ¬_¬ [18:22] we should see a beta in march if I recall right [18:22] !ipod [18:22] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod === zach_ is now known as zhobbs [18:22] how do I update time?

[18:37] Joe_, yeah, video won't work at all on secondary [18:37] ah, the compiz fusin benchmark works fine, heh thanks [18:37] Joe_, only using 1 card [18:37] ah, I didn't do that, my bad [18:37] Blaise: could be, but try chmod u+x && ./ati---.run [18:37] I notice it in the wiki now [18:37] Filled-Void, nah, my intuos3 is happily back on my windows box along with all my other graphics software which sadly just doesn't work as well on my ubuntu box [18:37] one card and have that problem... strange...

[19:01] Gecko: dumpe2fs /dev/mapper/ | grep label [19:01] Blaise: gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf , and compare it to the stuff on the wiki under 'the manual way' make sure that stuff is there [19:01] If I open sound preferences and test it, I can hear it. [19:01] But no where else. [19:01] Gecko: but I think the kernel should be able to detect it correctly [19:01] There was somethign wrong with Ubuntu repos? [19:01] jimmygeon> It's not my DNS I just tried open dns servers and still no luck [19:01] Whoops. Accidentally pasted twice. sorry. [19:01] shaver: it's a jfs file system... [19:01] Gecko: not sure then, sorry [19:01] dka7414: adding it equally to the two other os's will depend on your layout, you probably can't just do it. [19:01] I'm having trouble with labels right now myself [19:02] I see. Well, I hope I can just specify the path to the volume then [19:02] dka7414: I'm really conservative about my computers, I don't generally resize and move them. I like my data [19:02] NICKRUD-right [19:02] Does Ubuntu have any known issues with Realtek RTL8139/x810 NIC's? [19:02] NICKRUD-resising is an easy way to lose data huh [19:02] miranda: Xinerma makes one display across several monitors --- is that what you want? [19:03] when i try to enable the nvidia driver this happens "there was and error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages." what did i do wrong [19:03] when I access my IP via browser I do enter at the modem's frontend... does anyone know how to fall into my apache?? [19:03] dka7414: yes, I did that once (but I had a backup) so I don't do it anymore. I backup, move/change partitions, then put the data back [19:03] miranda: Sounds like you want the thing that is displayed on monitor A to == the thing on monitor B [19:03] xiven, Cant connect to your network? [19:03] when i try to enable the nvidia driver this happens "there was and error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages." what did i do wrong [19:03] nope [19:03] Hmm, anyone? [19:03] Hello all, I'm having trouble with suspend on my gutsy installation. It's a desktop ASUS p5k se board, when hitting suspend, the computer just locks.. Where to start debugging? [19:03] I can get an IP..but thats where it ends [19:03] NICKRUD-ok then could i unmoount the suse partition then erase so i will have free space for a new os maybe? [19:04] xiven, Are we talking about accessing the internet? [19:04] when i try to enable the nvidia driver this happens "there was and error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages." what did i do wrong [19:04] dka7414: yes, exactly. Or you could simply mount it as /data (or some other place) and use it for shared data between os's. It's free for any use [19:04] Mew[vendo_jogo]: http://localhost/ [19:04] yeah [19:04] NICKRUD-cool thanx [19:04] Cpudan80: nono... i want it by the outside [19:05] Cpudan80: That is correct. II ask only because when I configured cloneing, kubuntu ha this on. I tried setting it up manually,loading 2 cards, monitors and screens in my xorg file, but the secondary display simply does not work. [19:05] xiven, Can you open this http://208.67.219.231/ [19:05] I'm extremely new to ubuntu, any clue how to change rights of /var/www? [19:05] I get no DHCP offers, but my router allows both this machine, and my fiance's machine online just fine,,plus the windows install that is on the troubled machine [19:05] hello all! [19:05] Mew[vendo_jogo]: you need to move your modem's frontend off port 80, or reset your apache to use some other port (ie. 8080) [19:05] yeah it brought up google [19:05] DNS [19:05] hmm [19:06] miranda: ehhhh dunno [19:06] NICKRUD-also when i install os's i usually just make a / partition and a swap partition. Is this ok or should i definately make a /home partition. what is the difference between /home and just / will i be ok with just a / partition [19:06] The other day I managed to create 4 desks and have them be on a cube, IDK how I did it, but I did, and now I can't do the same, any clues as to how to do this? [19:06] mbh00020: go to a terminal and type chmod --help [19:06] OpenDNS Shoulve solve your problems then. One of the server numbers is 208.67.222.222 [19:06] Yeah I already tried it though [19:06] and it wasnt working [19:06] sorry, not desks, I meant workspaces [19:06] thanks miranda [19:06] do I need to totally restart my computer? [19:06] xiven, :( Through neotwork manager? [19:06] xiven, nope shouldnt have to [19:07] the flash installer reports "remove the xpti.dat from the components directory of the Mozilla"... what about this? [19:07] dka7414: I keep /home on a separate partition for several reasons: I can reinstall without losing the data in my home, I use it in different os's, I can use disk level backups. Many good reasons to have it [19:07] Mew[vendo_jogo]: Change the apache configuration file to add port 8080, the do http://....:8080 to hit it [19:07] The other day I managed to create 4 workspaces and have them be on a cube, IDK how I did it, but I did, and now I can't do the same, any clues as to how to do this? [19:07] Cpudan80: ohhh... ok! ill try it! tnx! ;D [19:07] does ubuntu have a resume installation feature? :-/ [19:08] I got impatient and rebooted my machine during install and it didn't pick up where it left off like I'd hoped it would [19:08] KrisWood: nope [19:08] KrisWood, no [19:08] Cpudan80: just another question... =x I installed apache via apt.. where is the httpd.conf? =x [19:08] doh >.< [19:08] :( [19:08] ok i changed dns in the network manager, do i need to restart the network? [19:08] I guess I needed to let it sit longer :( [19:08] Mew[vendo_jogo]: lemme find out - hang on [19:08] Mew[vendo_jogo]: it is dynamically created from files in /etc/apache2 [19:08] I did take this opportunity to check my CD and it went through the check just fine [19:09] nickrud: tnxx [19:09] gah [19:09] I'mstill getting host unreachable, after changing DNS, and then pinging the DNS server [19:09] Mew[vendo_jogo]: it's /etc/apache2/ports.conf -- add "Listen 8080" [19:09] nickrud: may i edit it? [19:09] luis, Do you have the compizsetting -manager installed? [19:09] luis, ccsm [19:09] Cpudan80: ok! ill try it [19:10] Mew[vendo_jogo]: gksudo gedit /etc/apache2/ports.conf [19:10] Alright, just gonna go afk a while and let it do its thing, bbl! [19:10] Umm, I don't think so [19:10] and then at no-ip i put IP:8080 ? [19:10] Mew[vendo_jogo]: no. === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [19:10] but I managed to do it last time, I set the "workspaces on a cube" thing in desktop effects, but it doesn't happen anymore :( [19:10] luis, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [19:11] it says it's done [19:11] but it also gave me this message "Couldn't find package compizconfig-settings-manager [19:11] " [19:11] Cpudan80: ok! eddited.. whats the command to restart apache? =x [19:11] Mew[vendo_jogo]: you should look around the conf dir, and use a2enmod a2dismod a2ensite a2dissite to work with stuff in mods-available and sites-available, and make changes in apache2.conf and ports.conf [19:11] someone knows if the file "xpti.dat" must be deleted while installing flash manually? [19:12] nickrud: hmmm [19:12] Mew[vendo_jogo]: once you're used to it, its much easier to work with snippets of the http.conf rather than the whole thing [19:12] luis, Do you have the option System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Settings [19:13] plz.... [19:13] Mew[vendo_jogo]: uhhhhhhh [19:13] need to know what my dev is for sd card [19:13] Mew[vendo_jogo]: restart apache2 I think [19:13] I do not have "advanced desktop settings" [19:13] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-23554.html didn't work [19:13] hmm [19:13] Mew[vendo_jogo]: sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart [19:13] how can it be DNS when this ubuntu box gets access just fine using the same DNS the other one is suposed to be on? [19:14] hey you guys, i have ubuntu 7.10 running and of course it is on apache 2.2.4 right now, i saw apache 2.2.8 came out not to long ago and want to give it a shot but couldn't find config.nice file to play with, can anyone help me out on that? :) [19:14] i remembered! [19:14] I need something that will cut 70MB .mov file into 15MB sized parts, any suggestions? [19:14] Mew[vendo_jogo]: I'm good with the structure, Cpudan80 obviously knows more about apache than I do :) [19:14] sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [19:14] kristianholm, par or somethin glike that [19:14] luis, Advanced Desktop Effect Settings ? If its not there then it must not be installed. To install it you would run the command sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager but you get an error on this correct? [19:14] Mew[vendo_jogo]: there we go - that's the ticket [19:14] yes, I get an error [19:15] hi everyone [19:15] yes! [19:15] it works! [19:15] Mew[vendo_jogo]: great [19:15] nickrud, Cpudan80: thank you a LOT! [19:15] can anyone give me a display suggestion? [19:15] how do i go back to metacity instead of compiz-fusion? [19:15] i have a weirdness [19:15] guys..please let me know what I am lookign for in demsg for my sd card reader [19:15] mwolf: alt-f2 metacity --replace [19:16] mwolf: System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects > None [19:16] luis, Is this a new install and if so did you enable any of the software sources? === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [19:16] ok thanks === volk is now known as [volk] [19:16] It's not a new install, no [19:16] i'm stuck at 1280x1024 and can't make my resolution lower [19:16] jv_: try this: in a terminal, type tail -f /var/log/syslog , then insert the card. You will get back a bunch of messages about the card, one will tell you the device [19:17] does ubuntu have support for quad core computers? [19:17] does the software suite utilize all 4 cores? [19:17] Nickrud, tx will try that [19:17] luis, Do you have universe selected in System > Adminstration > Software Sources [19:18] yes, but everything else is checked as well, does that matter? [19:18] the other 3 boxes are also checked [19:19] hi [19:19] luis, Can you pastebin what you get when you run sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [19:19] can anyone tell me how i can get emacs? [19:19] ok. [19:19] joanki: install emacs22 [19:19] Nickrud, has only stuff about the network card ath0 [19:19] this is the error I get [19:19] E: Couldn't find package compizconfig-settings-manager [19:20] Hi, is there a program for linux like the windows program Alcohol 120% ,.,.? [19:20] nickrud thx - surprised it's not already installed [19:20] jv_: plugging in the card and ejecting it gives you now output at all [19:20] luis: try a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [19:20] Are there group permissions in kubuntu for read/write for auto mounted usb disks? [19:20] joanki: this isn't a developers distro :0 [19:20] luis: are you on gutsy? [19:20] nickrud, when running emacs, do i need to type emacs22 to open it?> [19:20] IDK what gutsy is? sorry, I'm a newb [19:20] or is it just emacs [19:21] luis: lsb_release -a [19:21] does it say 7.04 or 7.10 ? [19:21] IDK === ziyax_ is now known as mustafa [19:21] lol sorry [19:21] nickrud: do u no if there is a program like Alcohol 120% for linux? [19:21] joanki: emacs will do [19:21] but, filled-void, I get the same error [19:21] E: Couldn't find package compizconfig-settings-manager [19:21] and, nickrud, one last q, how could i have found out on my own that it was called emacs22? [19:21] Hi, i wanna know how can i disable starting services from my system [19:21] this is the error I keep getting: E: Couldn't find package compizconfig-settings-manager [19:21] bod_: what's alcohol 120% [19:22] because its loading so late and loads like 1.60 , 2.20 after booting [19:22] luis: in your System > Preferences menu do you see 'Appearance' ? [19:22] Question: For some strange reason the new install of 7.10 is incorrectly detecting my GPU (BFG 7300 GT). Instead it's showing up a "Mesa" card. Any ideas? [19:22] nickrud: its a program that lets you use disc iso files without having to burn them to cd/dvd [19:22] joanki: you can search in system->admin->synaptic (ctl -f) [19:22] mustafa go to system>preferences>session> [19:22] Nickrud, no..still the same stuff about ath0 [19:22] Strider_: what does 'mesa card' mean? where are you seeing mesa? [19:22] in glxinfo? [19:22] yes, kilgor3 i'm there [19:23] crdlb, no, I don't see "appearance" [19:23] start up programs [19:23] crdlb: Tried setting up cedega and that is what it detected as the card. [19:23] bod_: you can do it with sudo mount /path/to/iso -o loop /mnt , and access them at mount. There's also gisomount that's a gui [19:23] its right there [19:23] I do see "themes" though [19:23] probably not the same thing. [19:23] well, kilgor i cant see evolution on there: S [19:23] bod_: that is, access them at /mnt not mount [19:23] nickrud: thanks dude,.,. ur a legend [19:23] luis: you're on 7.04 (feisty), which does not have compizconfig-settings-manager [19:23] :( [19:23] When trying to write to a USB External HD, konqueror complains that i dont have write permissions. But the fstab is configured such that I ought to, not to mention I have already run a chmod 777 -R to give permissions. it is an fstab filesystem. Any ideas? [19:23] click the add button if you want to add something to start up with [19:23] luis: You can update pretty easily ;) [19:23] and it seems like I can't get it either, since I try installing it and it gives me this error: E: Couldn't find package compizconfig-settings-manager [19:24] jv_: then something is not working right, I would have no clue why the kernel is seeing ath0 as an sd card :( [19:24] Strider_: did you use the Restricted Drivers Manager ? [19:24] This makes no sense [19:24] tell me how strider, please :P [19:24] This box is the same install..and is working from the ISP nameserver's.. [19:24] kilgor3: i wanna disable programs like seahorse,evolution from startup [19:24] using eth1 [19:24] for programming, is emacs better than gedit? or gedit is better? [19:24] nickrud, added tifm_sd to modules and it loads fine [19:24] I don't understand , the other day I was making the cube work and it was awesome [19:24] joanki: vim :) [19:24] but the other box gets ip and wont connect to anything. [19:24] then it stopped for some reason [19:24] luis, GAh, thanks for clearning that crdlb I had no clue what i was missing . I guess assuming donest help :( [19:24] joanki: emacs is an os in itself :p [19:24] jv_: then you don't need help, you can search google :) [19:24] luis: This should explain everything: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [19:25] I did, and that's the thing....didn't work ;) [19:25] too many answers! === playya__ is now known as playya [19:25] for programming in c++.... which one? [19:25] stopkeylogger DCC SEND "LOLOWNED" 000 [19:25] joanki: depends, some people do it all in gedit, others like the fact that emacs can read their mail [19:25] read their mail? emacs seems SO complicated? [19:25] will unload tifm_sd and run your command again [19:26] crdlb: You still here? The restricted drivers limited me to 800x600 and caused some strange graphic errors. [19:26] joanki: that's because there's an editor to match everyone's taste. I use eclipse which has a c++ plugin, some use vi , some use emacs, some use jedit, it's a matter of trying some and choosing your own poison [19:26] hey, how do i launch a java application in ubuntu? [19:26] Strider_: well you need that driver, but it sounds like when you enable it, it's failing :/ [19:27] nano [19:27] Anyone know how to install a theme like darker-ice? I've downloaded it, but have no idea how to proceed. It's a zip file, but not something I can easily install using 'Appearance'. [19:27] kestir: you program in nano? [19:27] the flash installer reports "remove the xpti.dat from the components directory of the Mozilla"... what about this? [19:27] vi, eh [19:27] parsec300: you can unzip it into ~/.themes , create the dir if it doesn't exist [19:27] crdlb: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=138 <--- Posted a thread [19:27] will check out [19:27] no, i came late. Thought we were just listing editors [19:28] yeah, I like nano cuz it's always there, even if /usr is missing [19:28] i have a dell laptop and previously I had it so that you could scroll along the right side of the touchpad to scroll the page, this functionality got broken in an upgrade, anyone know how to reenable this?

[20:18] robdig: I don't know what GMSGFMT is - could you enlighten me? [20:18] and what about tweaking programs and cleaners? [20:18] ThipThip: so it tries to execute -o, which isn't a command...looking about GMSGFMT [20:18] jimmygoon: the size is correct now ? check this out too > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [20:19] Okay - question - I have an Nvidia 5200 GForce card installed on my desktop - I had to use the alternate CD install - everything went okay - but during the reboot it is just sitting at a screen that says Running local boot scripts (etc/rc.local) [ok[ and then nothing [20:19] on compiz i have "desktop cube" activated and every now and then it just stops working and reverts back to normal desktop moving properties, does anyone know why this is? [20:19] Whats up busters [20:19] kungen354646 what type of tablet is it? computer tablet? [20:19] misslecommander, the font size is "normal" now yes [20:19] misslecommander, both in kde and in gdm [20:19] jimmygoon: you fixed it like that ? [20:19] misslecommander, I'm gonna have to file a bug against the "intel" driver I guess... or do some more research [20:19] are such kind on ubuntu? [20:19] misslecommander, yep, that was the only thing i did was change from intel -> i810 [20:20] jimmygoon: check out that link i gave you [20:20] jimmygoon: maybe it will help [20:20] misslecommander, will do when I reboot and get my mouse back :) (I've got logging on so I'll look) [20:20] robdig: can you recommend a course of action? Is it simply that his source is poorly written? Others seem to use it successfully. What can explain the apparent uniqueness of my problem? [20:20] * KrisWood sighs [20:20] I gues I reinstall yet again, then [20:20] chickin: its a trust draw pad.. or apparently aiptek [20:20] ThipThip: looks like you need to install gettext, sudo apt-get install gettext [20:20] misslecommander, brb again thanks [20:21] Can someone please give me a brief overview of kernel images [20:21] kungen354646 oh, I can't help you then. :( sorry. [20:21] ThipThip: after that, you will need to re-run the ./config script, then re-run make [20:21] Hello. I am in the alternative installer, and I would like to remove some MD devices. But when I choose 'delete MD device', it tells me 'There was an error deleting the multidisk device. It may be in use.' How do I fix this? [20:21] chickin: k :( [20:21] Hi [20:21] kungen354646 cool think though! :D [20:21] robdig: I am doing just that. Thank you. :-) Could you explain to me (or point me in the direction of an explanation of) what gettext is and why it was needed here? [20:22] People im getting trouble when trying to copy an AVI from a CD to my disk.. is there any software to dificult cases? [20:22] how do I select a default program for filetype? [20:22] The CD isnt very good... scratchy [20:22] creature: I've had that before on debian installs... it was caused by me setting up the MD then changing my mind. I had to reboot... hope that helps [20:22] ThipThip: my guess is that the config script looks for something in gettext, but doesn't issue an error message that it isn't there [20:22] vile_maxim: I haven't set anything up yet. [20:23] Is there a difference, in relation to sharing files\folders using Samba, to data stored on an ext3 partition over those stored on a reiser partition? The reason I ask is I had data stored on an ext3 partition that I could share and bavigate to from my Windows laptop. But applying the exact same permissions to data on the reiser, I kept getting Access Denied errors [20:23] There are pre-existing RAID devices on these drives, however. [20:23] sc_ thats probobly the problem then. [20:23] hey! i am currently working on a remote monitoring server. the server runs on linux, the client does also run on linux and is planned to be ported to other *nixes and windows (if i find somebody who is more familiar with windows). - the server works, the client is ready for a first alpha version. but i need help in development! CVS, mailing lists etc are set up - server and client are written in C++, the web interface is PHP [20:23] anybody interested? [20:23] does ANYONE actually have a version of ANY distro that works out of the box ? there is way too many issues with everything failing, its complete chaos [20:23] its a GPL project [20:23] Any special software to try to copy to my HDD from a scratchy CD? =) [20:23] ThipThip: i found a similar problem on google, and that is what they did to fix it :) [20:23] steam games in ubuntu? halp? [20:23] chickin: yes... almost the entire file is copied but the last 50mb... it's hard.. [20:23] misslecommander: My ubuntu worked out of the box [20:23] any tip? [20:23] creature: I'm not sure bluepill:/etc/xen# cat /proc/mdstat ? [20:23] if you do, what kind of system you have ? [20:24] sc_ wierd [20:24] badkitty: system specs please [20:24] creature: bluepill is the name of my machine... sorry [20:24] lol matrix [20:24] sc_ have you tried cleaning it with toothpaste and a microfiber cloth? [20:24] beside cp command, any thing I should try? [20:24] how cute [20:24] misslecommander, as did my Ubuntu install. And I have a 500Gb hardware RAID that works like a dream. Took me ages to setup using Windows! [20:24] robdig: it would seem that you are the superior googler between us. :-) This seems to have done the trick. [20:24] Mudkipz: from the attack... which comes from Matrix [20:24] sc_ clean swiping outward from the center not with the grain [20:24] yes chickin in this case with alcohol and a microfiber cloth [20:24] ThipThip: cool. good luck [20:24] Gizmo_The+Great: system, specs please [20:25] vile_maxim: It shows 2 active RAID devices. [20:25] Gizmo_The_Great: system, specs please [20:25] sc_ ah! try with toothpaste [20:25] how do I merge two screen sessions? [20:25] misslecommander: I have an amd64bit (running 32bit ubuntu) 2.8G Proc w/ 2 gigs ram, nvidia 7300 GT AGP, 2 500 gig SATA HDD, 2 DVD-RW Nvidia Wireless card and Nvidia chipset [20:25] ok chickin tks for the help [20:25] What would cause a live boot to have internet, but an install (done after the live boot)? [20:25] just the question, is there any other way to copy besides the CP command? [20:25] badkitty: thank you [20:25] Gizmo_The_Great: well if samba has read access to your files you can share them even though local users cant access them [20:25] creature: mdadm --manage -stop [20:25] lol @ badkitty .. you know you can get 64 ubuntu [20:26] jwadd: Yeah but for what? It is less supported [20:26] misslecommander, Dell Precision P650 Workstation. 2Gb RAM, 500Gb SCSI Hardware RAID, 40Gb SCSI OS Disk, Intel Xeon 3.5Ghz dual processors [20:26] creature: you might need to help that command... I don't remember it off the top of my head [20:26] Gizmo_The_Great: as a side note for our previous conversation [20:26] misslecommander: I also had ubuntu working out of box on my Laptop [20:26] slash|crisis sorry, thats not my area of expertice [20:26] sc_: there are plenty of ways to copy stuff [20:26] vile_maxim: I'll check it out, thanks. [20:26] sc_ no problem [20:26] creature: I think you need the device after that [20:26] sc_: what'r eyou trying to do? [20:26] robdig: My next question is: What does "make install" do and how does it differ from installing something from synaptic, apart from the obvious difference between getting something from source vs. from a repo. Should "make install" put a launcher into the applications menu? If not, how does one execute an application installed via "make install"? [20:26] I have two hdds that i can not see, one is internal, the other is external (USB), can anyone help me fix this? [20:26] sc_ I don't know, I run windows :/ [20:27] jwadd: I had 64 ubuntu and experienced many problems... especially when it came to multimedia stuff [20:27] creature: I have no idea if that will fix this for you though... I'm just telling you where I would start [20:27] badkitty: out of the box, running stable, just cause it works isnt good, stable is most important, yours stable ? [20:27] ThipThip: make install follows whatever commands are given to the "install" process in the make file [20:27] leagris: a divx is on a scratchy CD [20:27] mwe, thanks nwe. I'm on a different 'concern' now though. I've just migrated from one PC to another and trying to replicate shares that I had on the old machine. Nothing to do with out earlier chat about users home folders :-) [20:27] ThipThip: so it depends on who made it and how they set it up [20:27] it doesnt even read on windowsxp === futeki is now known as futeki_afk_afc_c [20:27] so I tried on ubuntu [20:27] it was copying but the last 50mb... it cant [20:28] misslecommander: Yes of course... during my days using dapper and edgy I had some stability problems but now Its al working gravy, the only thing I had to do was install the proprietary multimedia codecs [20:28] Is it possible through synaptic/aptitude to install just the dependencies and not the package selected? [20:28] badkitty: ah.. i just use the basic apps when my windows install crashes... might go to 32 if i want more apps [20:28] lespea: I see. So it is possible, but not necessary, that it would behave similarly to synaptic (ie placing a launcher somewhere) [20:28] have you cleaned the cd, and what proggy in windows were you using? [20:28] so i want to know if any of you know any software to try to copy scratchy cd's dvd's [20:28] ThipThip: yup, possible but not a gimme [20:28] is it best to run a barebones install of ubunto for an old p3 machine running on 256mb ram? [20:28] in windows, i can't even read the CD [20:28] jwadd: It wouldn't hurt to have both [20:28] badkitty: thank you [20:28] vile_maxim: It's --misc --stop, by the way. [20:28] lespea: And in cases where it doesn't, where should one look for an executable? === Burlynn is now known as Tortured [20:28] just with ubuntu with the CP command i was almost copying the entire divx [20:28] sc_: well isobuster in windows is by far the best program for scratched cd's... imo [20:29] misslecommander: What problems are you having? [20:29] but the last 50mb... cant [20:29] lespea: freeware? [20:29] ThipThip: type where {program} or go `sudo updatedb` then `locate {program}` [20:29] badkitty: my 320 gb hd is almost full as it is... may go for a 500 gb when the prices drop [20:29] uninstalling vlc [20:29] creature: I think it's ether, but you could be right [20:29] ThipThip: also, if you're feeling adventurous, you can `less` the makefile and find it in there [20:29] sc_ see http://www.wikihow.com/Fix-a-Scratched-CD and look st quote "Polish the CD. Though counterintuitive, polishing a disc can repair a scratched CD by removing some of the outer plastic coating and thus making existing scratches shallower. A number of common household products can be used to polish the CD, but toothpaste — especially baking soda toothpaste — and Brasso are probably the most tried and true. You can also us [20:29] e a fine-grit polishing compound that's used for cars or hard finishes. [20:29] 1. Apply a small amount of toothpaste (must be paste, not gel) or Brasso to a soft, clean, lint-free (old undershirt) cloth: an eyeglass-cleaning cloth works well." [20:29] ThipThip: but it will probably go in /usr/bin or /bin, maybe /sbin [20:30] how do I merge em? [20:30] ThipThip: make install generally just copies the binaries into the proper directories. I don't think they would normally add to a menu as they are for more general distros, and not all have the same menus [20:30] this is a noobish question but... anyone know how to get those custom themes some people seem to have...any sites for those or anything? [20:30] oops [20:30] jwadd: Yeah I have many HDD's sitting around because my MB wont handle more than 2 sata drives... I have a 500 external and a 100 but rarely use those [20:30] how do I merge two screen sessions I meant [20:30] would someone please help me out? [20:30] sc_: it's crippled a bit if you don't pay for it .. but i've never needed the advanced stuff so i use the free version [20:30] ThipThip: what were you compiling? [20:30] xiven whats your problem? [20:30] Heres my issue, i have downloaded warsow off the internet, but i need to make sure i have all the dependencies, is there a way of doing this considering i downloaded the game as a zip? [20:30] "Where gDesklets" does not work. [20:30] My linux won't conect to the internet [20:30] badkitty: i have no moneys... waiting on those W2's lol [20:30] where not Where [20:31] omg [20:31] badkitty: i have it running better and better each day, but, its not about me, its about the whole linux community. so many having all the same issues, with 200 ways to fix, none working [20:31] witch [20:31] lol [20:31] it'll get IP..but no connections...I did a live boot that had internet, but then I installed it, and now I don't have anything other then an IP. [20:31] xiven do you have the right driver? [20:31] lespea: indeed when I typed it I did all lowercase [20:31] misslecommander: what problem? [20:31] which [20:31] lol wow i'm dumb today :/ [20:31] lespea: bash: where: command not found [20:31] chimp: Did you download a windoes version of something? [20:31] The live boot had internet, before i reinstalled it like 15 minutes ago [20:31] ThipThip: which [20:31] chimp: warsow installed fine for me once i had all the compiz settings right [20:31] xiven: can you ping your local gatway? [20:31] xiven, bizzar, sorry, I would mlike to help but I can't think of anything [20:31] ThipThip: sorry, gave you wrong command [20:31] no [20:31] badkitty: i dont currently have any issues, i was asking what systems work out of the box. find a common denominaotr [20:31] It was just straight off the warsow website [20:32] please someone help me install JDK java in ubuntu [20:32] Its the linux version, however for my little brother, i dont think he has all the dependencies for it [20:32] can someone tell me what im doing wrong here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52818/ [20:32] naxa: how do i view the mounted volumes in gnome? [20:32] misslecommander: You could always try LFS ... [20:32] And so how do i find out what they are mattholimeau or make sure he has them? [20:32] i want eclipse working on ubuntu so i need JDK java [20:32] apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [20:32] jwadd I don't know if theres a ubuntu ver. of windows blinds, I dought it by the name but you could try [20:32] badkitty: i dont have any issues as of now., but what is LFS ? [20:32] vile_maxim: That did it, thanks. [20:32] creature: no problem [20:33] chimp: You can try oh what was it sudo apt-get install -depends .. i think that is what it was [20:33] xiven: sudo dhclient eth0 ? [20:33] which gDesklets returns nothing [20:33] Badkitty, the repositries only have the older version of the game, so they may have changed [20:33] chickin: i just meant like change stuff from default brown and orange... ive been through some of the settings and cant seem to find simple changing colors stuff [20:33] misslecommander: Linux from scratch... basically you customize your linux environment to your likings.. you have to know how to build and complime from source code though [20:33] ThipThip: okay type `sudo updatedb` then when that is done type `locate gdesklets` [20:34] jwadd, oh sorry. I would help but im running windowz [20:34] chimp .. did you download the source code then? [20:34] No just the zip off the warsow website [20:34] ThipThip: actually go `locate -i gdesklets` [20:34] Anyone here setup virutual hosts on ubuntu 7.10 server with apache2 with one host using :80 and the other :8080? [20:34] shouldn't it be DHCPDIscorvering on my router, not 255.255.255.255? [20:34] jwadd I know from windows look for things like "display" or "desktop" or maybe "color?" [20:34] theshadow: i've done something like that [20:35] xiven im getting error on apt-get java [20:35] badkitty: so its bare-bones ? i know your busy with these people, so that will be last question [20:35] lespea: wouldn't happen to know of a tutorial that I could follow? I'm having a hell of a time figuring it out [20:35] misslecommander: No please ask [20:35] xiven: no dhcp broadcast [20:35] how can i list isa devices in shell? its possible?

[20:35] :) [20:36] lespea: OK. it seems to have listed every file with "gDesklets" in the name. I still don't know how to execute it, though. [20:36] open your repos up [20:36] apt-get install sun-java6-jdk gives me error [20:36] badkitty: i will check it out, thanks for the info. [20:36] my router is the DHCP [20:36] misslecommander: So you can build a server version of linux under 8 MB or your OS can take up less than 100 megs [20:36] dhcp server and fun on the same sentence?

I then attempted to re-conf my monitor in the 'screens and displays' settings. only to find it detects as plug n play. instead of the viewsonic vg2230wm(not in the list of options under v [20:44] iewsonic) So i boot out to a prompt. adjust xorg.conf with the proper specs (retrieved from xresprod and ddc) [20:44] theshadow: I've had all kinds of problems with * and defaults. I've have to put the IP in once. Kinda messed up but if worked.

It will not work for me if I install it from synaptic. It just chills and eventually crashes without doing anything. [20:44] hanophix33: Not really.. did it work [20:45] anybody who know postfix well [20:45] agreenmac: they finally updated it, so it works proper [20:45] jack_sparrow: no, made my resolution really low [20:45] brobostigon, so would adding this line to fstab be a security risk at all : /mnt/RAID ext3 rw,user,auto 0 0 [20:45] ThipThip: I am using it at times, but I've never had to trouble shoot it so i wouldn't know how to fix any errors [20:45] Anybody who KNOWS linux, that can help me out?

I keep getting 550 errors even after I chown /var/www [20:46] xiven, sorry I can't help. But do you usse cable?

[20:54] ThipThip: if they're in lib, i'm not sure [20:54] Cpudan80: nano is complicated?? how do you figure [20:54] ThipThip: you're going to have to find an expert in gdesklet [20:55] badkitty: It doesn't have a gui lol [20:55] tried that as well missle. :/ i'm confused.

[20:59] Xintruder: Read the damn manual [20:59] eek: port forwarding... as in, you have another computer connected through your computer? [20:59] Bo7a, and you've tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? [20:59] Bo7A: i had mine running great till i updated a few things, then i removed what i updated, and all was back to fine [20:59] do i have to open ports for getting others to see my php files on ubuntu server? [20:59] ^swb^: Actually try oiut #compiz-fusion [20:59] lespea did you get those results? [21:00] ortodox: if you have a router or something that closes them, i suppose so [21:00] Creed, Yup. [21:00] since i can only get to them localy...in server i can ping www.google.com [21:00] misslecommander, yeah i'd imagine it was a round of updates done on friday. but i'm perplexed. I usually fix this stuff pretty quick [21:00] Cpudan80: You can either help with a friendly tone or shut up. I prefer no help then being spoken to that way. [21:00] ok I've reinstalled ubuntu yet again, still hanging on bootup at "* Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [ OK ]" do I need to reinstall? :-/ [21:00] xiven: yeah, i asked if 192.168.1.1 was your router -- must have gotten lost in all the talking [21:00] 65.53.23.153/test.php [21:00] ortodox: No - just port 80 -- there is no firewall in the default config anyway [21:00] anyone, please? [21:00] yes it is [21:00] does anyone know how to make the terminal automatically copy to clipboard anything that i highlight?

[21:01] ohh ok [21:01] thats my thoughts [21:01] it makes no sense [21:02] brb. thanks for your input folks. gonna go smoke a death-stick and try not to pull my hair out. [21:02] Bo7a: if it worked before, i am sure it will work again. matter of time, the bugger shows its true colours [21:02] xiven: no it should be all 0s [21:02] huh? [21:02] xiven: wait, should that be a 255 number? :: no [21:02] misslecommander, hehe yupyup. I just dont get where the gui tools are pulling their info. if i could find that out i'd prolly have it handled. i KNOW my xorg is correct, but the gui tools won't allow me to select anything that is set in there [21:02] oohh [21:03] eek, if your machine and the server are connected directly, there should be nothing to set up at all. can you describe your setup more in detail? are the two machines connected via what - a router, a plain crossover cable? [21:03] it should be my router's ip right? [21:03] xiven: yeah [21:03] LjL: lnksys router [21:03] well maybe it makes a difference.. [21:03] xorg has full modelines for each mode, and defs are all set to my monitors native settings. but in the screen res, and screens displays gui tools, everything is locked at one res and 50hz [21:03] thats actually set in interfaces file [21:03] xiven: telnet 192.168.1.1 80 :: does that work? [21:03] otherwise it has a * [21:03] nowim just babbling... Be back in a few, thanks to everyone who offerred suggestions [21:04] no route to host [21:04] figures [21:04] eek: and you can't ssh to the server from the other one? [21:04] can you pastebin your interface file? [21:04] Bo7a: quick thought: systax correct (spacing, typo, ) ?? [21:04] xiven: can you pastebin your interface file? [21:04] LjL: my problem is when i open ports on the router for the server it wont recognize them. I'm ssh in it now running azureus [21:04] what is the default vga setting if no vga=XXXX is specified in fstab? [21:04] it is in /etc/network/interfaces [21:05] anyone help with virtual partitions on OSX ? [21:05] eek, there's nothing to recognize... a port is either open or not open. if they aren't working, then you didn't open them. [21:05] brobostigon: unix has less than 2 known virus ?? lol [21:05] LjL: but Azureus says port failure, but the ports are open [21:05] I try to activate Compiz but it say "Desktop effects could not be enabled" [21:05] Bo7a: i asked, because i was doing something on grub, and i couldn figure out why it didnt work when i typed it, yet when i pasted it, it worked, simple type no space [21:05] why?? [21:06] anyone know a tool where i can add 2 files into an iso image? I'm trying to flash my bios on my other comp so i can load ubuntu off a thumb drive [21:06] digital00: probably because they're not supported with your hardware. [21:06] LjL: i'm looking at my SingleForward.asp screen right now and the box is enabled [21:06] foxray: cat [21:06] lespea: o read that this morning, no idea if it is true or noe [21:06] Whoa city wide Comcast outage in Bellingham, Wa for a minute :S [21:06] brobostigon: no, it is not true [21:06] lespea > http://pastebin.com/m6e9c25f6 [21:06] kestir: cat? how would that work? [21:07] foxray: have you used the cat command before? [21:07] foxray: I know of a windows program called folder2iso [21:07] bump: anyone if the option exists to cause the gnome-terminal to copy anything i highlight to the clipboard? [21:07] LjL: I got a Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960....it's not so old... i bought it two months ago.. [21:07] hey there .. im somewhat of a newbie to linux and need some help too get my system up and running [21:07] xiven: and did you enter in that extra stuff for eth0?

I'm not sure what the channel is [21:22] What did i ask? [21:22] emdash, i'm referring to the fact that repositories have a GPG key that your computer checks against when fetching packages from them. if you, for some reason (it happens sometimes), don't have such key listed on your computer, apt will complain [21:22] zk: wait, did you set up a home partition?

[21:38] misslecommander: i386 is the common denominator, linux was originally written for the 386...as processors advanced, they got higher numbering, 486, 586, 686, etc [21:39] paolo: no... there are solutions that are not in the repositories - such as the unicast-supporting flavors of wbd that i mentioned. i researched them a fair bit a while ago, but i don't have any ready links anymore. search for "ReLaTe" though, which is basically a collection of those multicast (but sometimes unicast-able tools), that should get you started hunting the various versions of them. [21:39] im getting Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy-security/Release.gpg Could not connect to security.ubuntu.com:80 (91.189.88.37), connection timed out [21:39] Cpudan80: So how would i go about establishing a connection with the wirelass [21:39] misslecommander: i686 is Pentium 4 and above, IIRC [21:39] eek: it's empty, as it should be. i really can't understand what the problem may be. [21:39] ngzn: seems like the server is currently unresponsive... wait. [21:39] LjL: its been a couple days [21:39] ok thnks LjL [21:39] LjL: any alternatives? [21:40] LJL: this is weird!! :'( [21:40] misslecommander: my bad, i586 was the Pentium, above that is i686 [21:40] nemilar: how does that relate to the preformance of Ubuntu ? i have amd64bit using 32bit, but 386 version. if i use 686 version, it be faster ? [21:40] ljl so to add that napci or whatever it is, do you just add that command to the end of the bootline? [21:40] ngzn: no, the security repo doesn't have mirrors. it's working for me, though. try "ping 91.189.88.37" from a terminal. [21:40] is there any other kernel package for ubuntu ? for example the lastest -mm build ... [21:40] IndyGunFreak: to add it one off to test it out, yes. to keep it permanently, /boot/grub/menu.lst needs to be edited [21:40] how can I build a kernel by myself ? [21:40] misslecommander: does 'uname -a' say i386 or 686? [21:41] !kernel > leoncamel (leoncamel, see the private message from Ubotu) [21:41] nemilar: i will check [21:41] lostrose: dunno, sorry :-/ === xero is now known as tanner [21:41] LjL: pinging workds [21:41] LjL: but apt-get update doesnt [21:41] ljl, isee [21:41] anyone know a way to player a video with mplayer but use a different audio source for the audio? [21:41] !kernel : leoncamel [21:41] ngzn: pretty weird. does it work in a browser? http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy-security/Release.gpg [21:41] back...problem: when i boot ubuntu freezes at RUNNING LOCAL BOOT SCRIPTS /etc/rc.local [OK] ... any way to fix it? :D [21:41] !kernel | leoncamel [21:41] leoncamel: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages [21:41] Cpudan80: ok .... I just really want to get this working and costomised so i can prove the asholes at work wrong [21:41] nemilar: 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 08:02:57 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux [21:42] zk: what's in that file? [21:42] i though t i had 386 [21:42] LjL: yeah [21:42] misslecommander: you're all set then...it's nothing to worry about [21:42] i'd like to remove ubuntu from a laptop dualbooting ubuntu and vista. can someone point me to a guide that will walk me through it. [21:42] Question (I'll try again): A new install of ubuntu (7.10) seems to not detect my GPU (BFG Geforce 7300 GT) correctly. Instead it's show a "Mesa" card instead of the nvidia one. Any ideas what is wrong? [21:42] brobostigon, look above, i gave him !kernel in a PM [21:42] misslecommander: packages get the i386 extention [21:42] hi all, i want to share ntfs part., mounted automaticaly, for other win comp with smb, but other comps cant access it. but all other shares (on main disk) is aviliable. anybody help me? [21:42] nemilar: dont kno wwhy i thought i had 386 [21:42] ngzn: and other repositories work fine, in apt-get? [21:42] misslecommander: or they get the amd64 extension [21:42] LjL: seems so, only that one complains [21:42] nemilar: ok, then, thats great, thank you [21:42] LjL: is there crazy stuff i don't know about like cables that don't work or router bs? it seems like it should and it does work on my other box. [21:43] misslecommander: if you're older than about 23, you probably remember IBM 386 computers [21:43] LjL: exit=0 that's in rc.local [21:43] nemilar: haha i remember the ancients. the true 86 [21:43] with no "=" [21:43] ok [21:43] haha, before my time [21:44] eek, if it connects to the internet, then the cable is good. i still think something may be wrong on the router to be honest. you say you SSH to your server, right? so, open port 22 on the router briefly, and let me see if your ssh server is reachable [21:44] eek: (make sure all your accounts have passwords) [21:44] lol; [21:44] it's a trap! [21:44] LjL: ok they do [21:44] can someone assist me in removing ubuntu + grub from a dual boot with vista, I don't have a vista DVD to fix my MBR with [21:44] ngzn: are you familiar with editing sources.list? [21:44] LjL: if you need to test ssh'ing somewhere, I'm open @ nemilar.ath.cx [21:44] whats the best macro recorder for linux? [21:44] nemilar: for years i hadnt even bothered with linux, i figure i give it a chance, Ubuntu was suggested to me, from local source. i think i would rather have a more stable plt though [21:44] nemilar: i don't need to test, he needs to test [21:44] mutton, #windows might be able to help if no one here lends a hand. [21:45] any suggestion on mos stable linux distro ? [21:45] LjL: that makes more sense, heh [21:45] thanks pinkbunny [21:45] LjL: done [21:45] mutton: You need your Vista disk, if your stupid OEM didn't give you one - call up and demand it [21:45] !info xmacro > Chewy954 [21:45] No one? [21:45] LjL: That has a GUI :p [21:45] misslecommander: yeah I took a break from linux between 2.4 and 2.6, ubuntu is the first desktop-stable linux distro I've liked... I was using mac os 9 for a while in between [21:45] I tried xmacro [21:45] mutton: There are 3rd party ways to get it restored, such as BartPE and such, ask ##windows [21:45] eek: connection refused. port 22 is not open (or the ssh server is not running) [21:45] not my cup of tea [21:45] doesnt do what i need [21:45] I had compiz-fusion running just fine in feisty, and just upgraded to gutsy today. Now when I run compiz-fusion (compiz --replace) it gets rid of my titlebars. The closest thing to an answer I could find was to add gtk-window-manager to the window decoration option in ccsm, but that doesn't seem to be working [21:45] Like randomize numbers [21:45] Cpudan80; that won't happen. i bought this from walmart. [21:45] Chewy954: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:45] Chewy954, i don't think there's plenty of choices. [21:45] misslecommander: i first tried solaris which is proprietry, but than found linux with is open source [21:45] :\ [21:46] mutton, can you still boot to your Vista install? [21:46] mutton: What brand on PC is it? [21:46] yo Eck, are you eck?? [21:46] pinkbunny: right now, yes. but i'd like to remove ubuntu and i know that if i do that grub pitches a fit [21:46] LjL: "exit 0" that's in rc.local [21:46] nemilar: i think i have this going pretty good now. Firefox was dying on me, i believ on account i had !flash installed. i should really back it up [21:46] nemilar: are you speaking to me? [21:47] eek: no, I recognize Eck from another server, wondering if it's the same person [21:47] Ubuntu by default has all it's ports closed, is that correct? [21:47] Chewy954: also, you can do whatever you want, really, as long as you wrap it in a shell script... including generating random numbers, although it puzzles me a bit that you'd want to do that in a macro [21:47] nemilar: thanks for the info, i best get to making sure i dont lose my progress [21:47] no Karyn_bear [21:47] Karyn_bear: by default, there is nothing listening on ports (except one perhaps)... but there is no firewalls actively keeping ports closed, by default. [21:47] is there a command line utility (sox?) to add x amount of silence to an audio file? [21:48] only a few services are opened, dhcp & sometimes hplip printing service [21:48] oh [21:48] eek: you're trying to setup sshd right? I'm coming into the conversation late [21:48] LjL: my linksys says port 22 both 192.168.1.12 enabled also on box 100 and my buddy has loged in before? [21:48] mutton, on Vista, download http://www.rondutt.com/dfiles/recover.zip and use Command Prompt and run the bootsect.exe program to fix install the Vista bootloader to your mbr. [21:48] zk: that's what should normally be there... i think the problem really lies something else, try checking /var/log/syslog [21:48] but Karyn_bear, if you're worried about being probed, install firestarter or something [21:48] whoops [21:48] simple firewall gui :) [21:48] nvm [21:48] LjL: can you setup your linksys router to support WEP AND WPA2? [21:48] eek: eh? i couldn't parse that sentence. "both" what? what is "box 100"? [21:48] fixed it m'self [21:48] pinkbunny: so I'd run that after i go into vista and format my ubuntu main+swap? [21:48] im using xrandr and when I enter xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600 I get the error "xrandr: cannot find output "S-video"" - any ideas? [21:48] eek: your port 22 is closed to the outside world, if it's the same IP you're connecting to IRC through [21:49] Karyn_bear: i don't know a thing about linksys routers [21:49] ok thanks grody [21:49] nemilar:i 'm having port problems [21:49] mutton, first fix your mbr then remove ubuntu (use the disk management utility in Vista), that way you dont screw up grub and end up with an unbootable system. [21:49] how do i get 32-bit firefox to look nice? [21:49] thankyou pinkbunny, much obliged [21:49] randomshadowbm1: that's a strange question [21:49] hey [21:49] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins?action=show&redirect=Firefox2AMD64Flash9Java [21:50] LjL: i have two machines here 192.168.1.12 & 192.168.1.100 [21:50] !info xnee | Chewy954, there seems to be this one too [21:50] for some reason my sound stopped working [21:50] probably even more limited [21:50] chewy954, there seems to be this one too: xnee (source: xnee): X event recorder/replayer. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.08-3 (gutsy), package size 70 kB, installed size 220 kB [21:50] mutton, extract the contents of that zip in vista, use command prompt and CD to wherever you extracted it. simply run bootsect.exe and it will give you a mini-help of how to fix mbr/bootsector/etc. [21:50] i followed that guide, everything works but firefox 32-bit is ugly [21:50] thank ubotu [21:50] will check it out [21:50] eek, well, the same port can be forwarded to *one* machine *or* to the other, it cannot be forwarded to *both* at the same time [21:50] my pidgin crashed while I try to login with a "proxy", is there anybody confirm it ? [21:51] You all know about the scientology raid, [21:51] LjL: two stupid routers 192.168.0.1 & 192.168.1.1 the first one should be wide open [21:51] you can help: sudo apt-get install hping3 [21:51] for some reason my sound stopped working, nothing is muted, and my alsamixer is set to full, just nothing comes out [21:51] then: hping3 -S -i m1 -w 0 -p 25 198.77.154.90 [21:51] <`4aFkA`> i have installed a software using the apt-get install command.. how can i know where is it installed ?????

[21:56] KrisWood: while in recovery mode, look at the system log, and see what the last command was before you rebooted. it is located at /var/log/syslog. you can use less to page through it or an editor. once you find which one is hanging, then perhaps we will have a suggestion for you [21:56] LjL: and my syslog file has a lot of lines like this: ubuntu NetworkManager: Activation (eth0) started... | ubuntu NetworkManager: Activation (eth0) Stage 1 of 5 (Device Prepare) scheduled... | ubuntu NetworkManager: Activation (eth0) Stage 1 of 5 (Device Prepare) started...

[22:11] KrisWood: ye, it said it worked sometimes and sometimes not so i crossed my fingers and hoped xD [22:11] KrisWood: not yet [22:12] iuri: so do I... try "sudo apt-get install zlib1g" [22:12] I dont have a usb cd drive ad its not worth it to get one [22:12] ok ok [22:12] !alsa [22:12] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [22:13] slart, this pkg t=doesn´t exist [22:13] Say there's a newer package I'm looking for in a debian repository... can I add the repository to my apt sources? === _Kernel is now known as Kernel [22:13] Kasuko, seen this yet? http://wubi-installer.org/ [22:13] heres the latest version of imagemagick https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/imagemagick/ but when i do apt-get install it only installed 6.2.4 any ideas on how to get the latest version? [22:13] Or is that a "really bad idea" [22:13] so, I went to go use the dual screen, and then when I rebooted it wouldn't even bring me to the login screen. I'm running from a feisty liveCD I had lying around. [22:13] iuri: did you copy paste? you can use tab to auto complete.. and it is zlib1g as in zlb-ONE-g [22:13] plz to help, plz [22:14] nownot: wait until the next version of ubuntu.. any special reason you need the absolute latest? [22:14] Can I undo an upgrade? [22:14] !downgrade [22:14] Slart: b/c rmagick needs atleast 6.3 [22:14] Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [22:14] KrisWood: i cant find anything other than someone else had the same problem in 2006, but no solution there. let's ask these guys... === omar_ is now known as bluefish [22:15] nownot: rmagick?. [22:15] !pinning | isleshocky78 [22:15] isleshocky78: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [22:15] How does one enable direct rendering when you have the restricted drivers on and enabled but yet direct rendering isn't on? [22:15] nownot: then I guess you'll have to compile it yourself.. [22:15] when i insert a blank cd into my computer ubuntu isn't reading it what could be the matter? [22:15] Slart: http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/ [22:15] robdig, ok thanks, here we go again ;) [22:15] Flannel: I just need to get apache up and running. [22:15] My brand new shiney ubuntu install hangs on boot up at "* Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [ OK ]" I've tried disabling ACPI with no apparent change. Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this issue? [22:15] does anybody know how to find out what reboot jobs cron runs during boot? KrisWood is hanging at local boot scripts [22:16] bluefish: if its a blank cd, it shouln tbe reading from it, [22:16] Slart: but it shows packages here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/imagemagick/ [22:16] nownot: from the page, "You must have ImageMagick 6.0.0 or later".. have you tried it? [22:16] KrisWood: uve been very helpful but i think i give up for today :) see you [22:16] Slart: yes ive tried it ...... [22:16] i know but i can't burn anything onto the cd either [22:17] Slart: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/graphics/imagemagick [22:17] it doesnt show that there is a blank cd in my drive [22:17] madadm is not effected when reinstalling right [22:17] you just reinstall mdadm after reinstalling ubuntu [22:18] and reassemble [22:18] Slart: so umm could something be wrong w/ my repository or something [22:18] un_op: path to mount is that in my case /media/disk [22:18] slart, thanks it works now it was misspelled [22:18] did linux or apple invent active corners? [22:18] I guess not :( [22:18] bye [22:18] dissident, looks like it -- if thats the location by which you want to access this disk, yes [22:18] or dev/sdb1 [22:19] ok the latest verision of imagemagick is 7:6.2.4.5.dfsg1-2ubuntu1 but when i install from apt-get it only does 6.2 and says its the latest. how do i update to the latest heres the page showing the latest http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/graphics/imagemagick [22:19] nownot: well... the rmagick site claims it only needs imagemagick v > 6.0.0.0... so the regular package should work [22:19] dissident, /dev/sdb1 is the device -- you cannot access it directly without mounting it to a directory first [22:19] when i insert a blank cd into the drive it won't appear on my desktop as it used to how can i fix that? [22:19] btw, does anyone have a good tutorial to install git on ubuntu?? [22:19] nownot: sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade [22:19] Has anyone here installed ubuntu on a vmware server? [22:19] iuri: by chance do you want to use it for compiz-fusion plugins? [22:20] KrisWood: look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=567060 post #4, do you think this may be it? [22:20] does anyone where bittorent is saved by default on ubuntu? is it /usr/bin ? [22:20] iuri, why would git behave differently on ubuntu than any other linux system? [22:20] Slart: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [22:20] can someone help me? [22:20] Karyn_bear, at a terminal - which bittorrent [22:20] becasue of libs dependencies [22:20] Karyn_bear, or - type -a bittorrent [22:20] yes [22:20] i not sure thatś why i´m asking [22:20] :) [22:20] un_op will "locate bitorrent" also work? [22:20] Slart: here it is when i try to install checking for ImageMagick version >= 6.3.0... no as you can see it needs 6.3 [22:21] arcad3, did you have any trouble booting up after install? [22:21] robdig: iirc ubuntu doesn't run any cron jobs at boot, but anacron does check to see if it's been run that day [22:21] no [22:21] ok the latest verision of imagemagick is 7:6.2.4.5.dfsg1-2ubuntu1 but when i install from apt-get it only does 6.2 and says its the latest. how do i update to the latest heres the page showing the latest http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/graphics/imagemagick [22:21] karmue, thats goint to list it but it will also spit out locations of file that have bittorrent in their filename, not really what you want [22:21] Can anyone help me with this error "PHP Fatal error: PDO: driver sqlite requires PDO API version 20060409; this is PDO version 20060511 in Unknown on line 0" It just started showing up after I did an aptitude safe-upgrade [22:21] nemilar: got it built, thx for the help [22:21] just some scsi checks then ..als fine [22:21] gcarrillo: awesome, no prob [22:21] un_op: when you installed git, did you follow the INSTALL file? [22:21] hey, i'm having a bit of trouble with flash, i'm trying to use adobe flash client, i'm going though snaptic, it downloads, but when i look at output, it passes the check sum but then puts up a message saying flash is not installed [22:21] un_op those commands didnt work :( [22:21] yay, another opt-onliner [22:21] I (stupidly) tried to enable dual-monitor in gutsy, and now the damn'd thing wont even get to a login [22:22] nickrud: thanks. was trying to help KrisWood, he is hanging on boot, last item in syslog is cron[3699]: (CRON) INFO (Running @reboot jobs) [22:22] nownot: if you run "convert -version" what does it report? [22:22] un_op: i tried to make a installing process till a checkout from the repo created but i didn´t succeed [22:22] robdig, no that doesn't seem to be what I'm seeing at all [22:22] sup [22:22] iuri, I did read the INSTALL/README - i used a howto on kerneltrap -- i can't remember which [22:23] KrisWood: :( [22:23] arcad3, scsi checks? [22:23] ya [22:23] Slart: ImageMagick 6.2.4 10/02/07 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org [22:23] robdig: strange, there are on @reboot jobs listed in any cron files on my machine [22:23] robdig: *not [22:23] nickrud: mine neither [22:23] un_op: kerneltrap??? what is it? from http://kernel.org website? [22:23] un_op:i don't get it /dev/sdb1 is my hdd how can i write to it please, probably my fault but it's way too difficult for me [22:24] hi [22:24] hey, i'm having a bit of trouble with flash, i'm trying to use adobe flash client, i'm going though snaptic, it downloads, but when i look at output, it passes the check sum but then puts up a message saying flash is not installed [22:24] nickrud: Is it a nightmare to turn on direct rendering for me? You know, with that ATI card I got if you remember. [22:24] nickrud: so you never heard of something like this? [22:24] arcad3, did it hang on boot up at all on these scsi checks? [22:24] iuri, i'm not much of a git expert -- i've just installed it to have a look at what it was like -- and btw - kerneltrap.org -- you could probably put this phrase in google -- "site:kerneltrap.org git howto" [22:24] robdig: never [22:24] hello there [22:24] anyone know how i can find "bittorrent" ? [22:24] yes [22:24] I tried to enable dual-monitor in gutsy, and now the damn'd thing wont even get to a login [22:24] i installed it with Synaptic Package Manager [22:24] has the xserver problem been fixed [22:24] nownot: so, you've got v6.2.4... you've got two choices.. install a newer imagemagick from source.. or nag the developers of rmagick to support older versions of imagemagick.. if you want to do the former, go here http://www.imagemagick.org/script/install-source.php#unix [22:24] i just updated and now i'm getting problems [22:24] Elevator_Hazard: that was the 9550, right [22:24] Karyn_bear, try - ls -l /usr/bin/*torrent* [22:24] arcad3, what was the solution? [22:24] anybody own sony pxxx or m600i phones ? how they do with ubuntu ? [22:24] * jdlimbo is running from a feisty liveCD [22:25] nickrud: correct :D [22:25] ok [22:25] un_op: thanks a lot [22:25] Slart: you think i need to pass any parameters with configure [22:25] Elevator_Hazard: I forget where we left off, run glxinfo | grep direct [22:25] when u make the virtual drive from OS list check Ubuntu [22:25] nickrud: it returns no. [22:25] un_op said command not found [22:25] * jdlimbo is starting to think he may have to just run a clean install [22:25] nownot: I have no idea.. check the link I gave you [22:25] let me try agai [22:25] dissident, to write (or even read for that matter) .. you need to mount it first -- at a terminal - sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk -o mode=4755 [22:25] again* [22:25] Elevator_Hazard: system->admin->restricted drivers , select ati : have you done that? [22:26] arcad3, I don't understand what that means :-/ [22:26] Karyn_bear, what command not found tho -- be specific? [22:26] Is packages.ubuntu.com search broken or is it just me? [22:26] nvm i typed it wrong [22:26] nickrud: its enabled. [22:26] ls -l /usr/bin/*torrent* -> works now [22:26] says its in usr/bin [22:26] Vad1: it's just you [22:26] which is what i thought it was originally in [22:26] Here's a pretty simple question: If one is sitting at the terminal in a directory with an executable, how does one execute it? [22:26] Elevator_Hazard: do you have xserver-xgl installed? [22:26] Karotte, what's it actually called then? [22:26] anyone know how to disable dual-screen from the command line in gutsy? [22:27] ThipThip: ./executablefilename [22:27] nickrud: Umm... Yea I needed that for compiz-fusion. [22:27] ThipThip: ./execuable [22:27] Slart: Try searcing "help ru" [22:27] Karyn_bear: if you know the name of the command, you can use 'which [command]' to locate it (e.g, which gedit ) [22:27] Vad1: yes.. keyword missing or error something [22:27] I see - what does the ,/ do? In other words, why can't I just type it like I might in DOS? [22:27] nemilar, but she didnt know what it was called -- which is why we had to resort to listing the directory [22:27] un_op: ahh [22:27] how do you generate a SHA256 hash? [22:27] hi, anybody knows how to fix that some /etc/init.d/programs , does not run at startup. I have to type /etc/init.d/program manually. [22:28] ThipThip: ./ tells it to run the thing in the current directory [22:28] Slart: yeah. I'll try google then. [22:28] ok. [22:28] Elevator_Hazard: ah, ok. The problem with ati cards is you need xserver-xgl installed. The problem with xserver-xgl is it interferes with using regular accelerated games and the like. Gotta choose [22:28] ThipThip, because the current directory (./) is not in $PATH -- for security reasons [22:28] Vad1: what are you looking for? [22:28] ThipThip: If you add ./ to your path (which is basically what windows does) -- you don't have to type it [22:28] Elevator_Hazard: xserver-xgl installed to use compiz-fusion, that is [22:28] Slart: The help files that are in system - help but in russian. [22:28] rendero: you have to add them to /etc/rcX.d [22:28] Vad1: the man-pages? [22:28] nickrud: And if I don't have compiz on - can I play those games? [22:28] Cpudan80, for historical reasons (and those of security) -- thats a bad thing to suggest [22:28] Adding ./ your path is not recommended for a variety of reasons [22:29] Lo all - annoying problem! Using 7.10 compiz, ati card (closed driver).... when playing a video (in totem) or playing a game (maybe... planet penguin racer) i get flickering (as if the refresh rate wasnt synced with the video? [22:29] Slart: No. I need the "Basic Computer Skills" section in fact just to be russian [22:29] ahh i still cant find the launcher un_op [22:29] Elevator_Hazard: you would also have to disable the xserver-xgl , a sec [22:29] un_op: Right, which is why I said that last bit :-) [22:29] Ok folks, ubuntu/compiz on my laptop is just too painful. Anyone know a good guide to dual boot Windows XP & Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon? [22:29] i get a screen how to use mount, what is this [22:29] nickrud: I see, how does one do that? [22:29] next question: I seem to be having trouble with daemons of various shapes and sizes. At the moment I am trying to use gDesklets, and the program is unable to connect to the gDesklets daemon. I had a similar (but perhaps unrelated) problem of gSchedule being unable to connect to the cron daemon. [22:29] ok I'm super-stumped :-/ [22:29] nemilar, they still are, i tried to guess why some programs start and do not start in /etc/rc0.d and others in /etc/rc1.d and so on [22:29] Karyn_bear, i dont follow you? [22:29] Slart: 80+ year old grandma will be getting a russian xubuntu. But the help files are in english, and she does need a read of the basic computer skills :/ [22:30] Vad1: oh.. hmm.. are those translated? didn't know that [22:30] do i need to use -- that too [22:30] rendero: the default runlevel I _think_ is rc6 ( I hope someone will correct me on this if I am wrong) [22:30] Slart: Well, I hope they are.. [22:30] okay, i used Synaptic Package Manager to install Bittorent right? [22:30] Cpudan80: i got my wireless working [22:30] dissident, dude -- exactly like this: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk -o mode=4755 [22:30] after it finished it never put a shortcut launcher on my tool bar [22:30] or any icon [22:30] lostrose: oh yeah? How? [22:31] Elevator_Hazard: ~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable <-- when that file exists, xserver-xgl should not start. [22:31] Karyn_bear: yes... although ubuntu has a built in BT client [22:31] !dualboot [22:31] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [22:31] why did ubuntu do away with inittab :( :( :( [22:31] I'm having a problem installing Ubuntu 7.10. Basically will freeze up on loading linux kernel message. Wanting to install it along side PClinuxOS. The cd boots perfectly fine on my other box that only has Win2003 on it. \ [22:31] un_op:i get page how to use mount [22:31] nemilar: rc6 is reboot - default is rc2 [22:31] Cpudan80 where is the BT Client? [22:31] nickrud: I need to log out then back in when I add that file? Or do I need to reboot entirely? [22:31] Vad1: I think that's in the Gnome 2 User's Guide [22:31] can somebody help me? [22:31] ere4si: thank you [22:31] !info gnome2-user-guide | Vad1 [22:31] vad1: Package gnome2-user-guide does not exist in gutsy [22:31] Elevator_Hazard: just log out and back in. [22:31] k [22:31] Karyn_bear: It's totally built in as far as I know, if you click a torrent file it should work [22:31] ere4si: I just figured that out with the runlevel command [22:31] ohh [22:32] Cpudan80: found a post on ubuntugeek..... and it finally worked.. its working without the restricted driver now..... madwifi alone. [22:32] Karyn_bear: try to edit the menus -- maybe the icon just didn't show up [22:32] anyone have any idea on how to disable "screen & graphics" tool dual-screen from a command line? otherwise I don't know what to do but reinstall [22:32] let me try that out, thanks Cpudan80 [22:32] nemilar, always was ok with that script in rc2 but know, it fails, do you have info about this ? do you think i should put that in rc6.d, basically one script is very important for me, because it does connect to internet and i can manage my pc when i am not at home, and if my pc gets off , somebody just put the start button [22:32] Grub Question: am tried to install mutiple partitions on my 4GB USB flash-drive. I partitioned it into 2 partitions, 1 primary (/dev/sdb1 ... aka (hd1,0) has grub. The second (hd1,4) has a copy of the clonezilla-gparted live-cd... which has its own grub menu. I want to link the first to the second,... what do I need to do ??? [22:32] Elevator_Hazard: if you haven't heard of the command touch, now is the time to learn it [22:32] Karyn_bear: right click apps, edit menus [22:32] when i insert a blank cd it wont show it on the desktop and i cant write to it [22:32] nickrud: I've heard a little, how would I use it?

See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [22:38] I know where it is [22:39] lostrose: if there's a .deb available, you should definitely use that...but if you must, install the package 'alien' and use that to install the RPM [22:39] But I can't remember my username and password [22:39] !alien | lostrose [22:39] lostrose: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [22:39] so I can't download it myself [22:39] hey Cpudan80: does Movie Player play .avi files?

[22:40] Karyn_bear: when you add the restricted extras thing, see my message to Newuserr [22:40] I have a game related problem. I posted in the forum for the game (Assault Cube) but there's a problem with Ubuntu as well that I need help with. [22:40] LjL: But I won't have this machine for much longer [22:40] deb i guess is short for debian [22:40] Why can't I just download [22:40] I don't want a stupid account [22:40] lostrose: what program are you trying to install?

I partitioned it into 2 partitions, 1 primary (/dev/sdb1 ... aka (hd1,0) has grub. The second (hd1,4) has a copy of the clonezilla-gparted live-cd... which has its own grub menu. I want to link the first to the second,... what do I need to do ??? [22:41] Moduliz0r, there is no direct link. at least not for the file on the forums. either you have an account, or you don't download it. [22:41] nemilar: thanks [22:41] np [22:41] that's really stupid [22:42] Will the ubuntu installer overwrite files in my current home partition if i tell it to mount that as /home? [22:42] The account seems to be nonexistant [22:42] Do accounts get deleted? [22:42] zk: when booting, at the GRUB menu, you hit "e", and add either "noacpi" or "acpi=off" to the end of the longest line (hit "e" again on it). finally you hit "b" to boot [22:42] anyone have any idea on how to disable "screen & graphics" tool dual-screen from a command line? [22:42] Cpudan80: should i enable the Ubuntu restricted extras? [22:42] Moduliz0r: We understand you dont want to create a new account.. Sorry, not much we can do to help you remember your account and pass [22:42] lostrose: you can search available packages by doing 'apt-cache search [string]' so for example 'apt-cache search kismet' [22:43] No, I said: The account seems to be NOT THERE [22:43] Karyn_bear: Yes... it's illegal in some countries though [22:43] LjL: ook i'll try...just to get the good syslog and syslog0 on pastebin so u can see them :D [22:43] oh [22:43] Karyn_bear: just enable them ;) [22:43] so why is it disabled by default? [22:43] doesn't make since [22:43] Karyn_bear: because it's illegal in the US [22:43] I need to know how to resize my virtual terminal. The game I installed froze, and I couldn't do anything, so, I accessed virtual terminal (ctrl+alt+F2) The text ran off screen. I need to up the resolution. I used ctrl+alt+F7 (somebody told me to) to return to desktop. The text went away except for a few characters, but it didn't return to desktop. I was going to use htop to kill the game and return to desktop... I can't even u [22:43] se virtual terminal since it's too big, and I can't get back to desktop from it... [22:43] Karyn_bear: because of copyright laws and whatnot [22:43] Karyn_bear: Just enable it [22:43] yes i did Cpudan80 [22:43] And then write your congressmen and berate the DMCA [22:43] nod @ Cpudan80 [22:43] its illegal to play .mp3s? [22:43] I want to get this install going, will the ubuntu installer overwrite files in my current home partition if i tell it to mount that as /home?

[22:44] Karyn_bear: The decoding stuff is illegal, yes [22:44] Karyn_bear: it's illegal to do anything in the US [22:44] pie-rate: Make sure you set it up to mount as home, but not format [22:44] how come it is not "disabled" on Windows though? [22:44] nemilar: i agree hehe [22:44] Flannel: yeah i got that part =P [22:44] Karyn_bear: Windows pays the license fee, you pay them [22:44] oh [22:44] Karyn_bear: certain formats are protected by law, and companies have to pay fees [22:44] i understand now! :) [22:45] Flannel: but will it overwrite the files it installs? like the firefox settings and such?

[22:45] Rodolfo: there's a download on the real site, it's not in repos [22:45] pie-rate: Mounting just means "hook it in" to /home so you can type /home at the terminal, as long as it doesn't say "format" as Flannel said - you'll be OK [22:45] anyone?
