[00:00] Hazarath, have you installed any drivers/other apps to assist with viewing ? [00:00] neverblue: like what? [00:00] Question: Does anybody have any experience getting a PCMCIA network card up and running on a laptop? I've got one that I can see via "pccardctl info" but which doesn't seem to be coming up as a network device. [00:00] im back and cant fix my sound [00:01] i wanna use my usb audio not my soundcard [00:01] Hazarath, drivers [00:01] ty Dr_willis [00:01] Hazarath, drivers for your video... codecs to view the movie.... ? [00:01] neverblue: All the drivers that mplayer found, yes. All installed. [00:01] Im having problems with my wired ethernet. I can dig/ping sites. I did arp, there are no address conflicts. I do not use a proxy; I cannot load any websites in FF. I can SOMETIMES connect to services such as AIM. I can sometimes load a web page if another PC on my network has just loaded it. I am running DHCP. I am stuck.. :( [00:02] Hola! [00:02] re [00:02] !es | elPansi [00:02] elPansi: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [00:02] neverblue: Intel drivers installed. All other AVIs in my collection play, it's just this freggin' 1,200Kbps bitrate that's killing me. [00:02] hey im looking for docs or walkthough on seting up a Ubuntu user network, so that no matter what computer you sign in you have accses to all your files and settings [00:02] Hazarath, not able to help you [00:02] nominativo, i am dropping in in the middle but my guess is that you are having trouble with a wireless connection [00:03] !pbx [00:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about pbx - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:03] pardon? [00:03] i have no sound and my soundcard isent the best in the world so i want 2 use my usb audio and it dosent work idk if i dont have drivers installed or wat. when itry to test the usb audio in system>pref>sound it gets an error [00:03] sorry, tarvid, i don't understand [00:04] nominativo, maybe I am confused with a different thread, what was your issue? [00:04] ok problems with wireless [00:04] but wireless connection [00:04] i don't think is the card [00:04] because it has a driver [00:05] and it can scan [00:05] Can anyone help me with playing back a high quality film? I tried to play it with Mplayer, and VLC, both make the system stammer, VLC more. [00:05] what does iwlist ap say [00:06] hey guys, for some reason the wireless icon isn't showing up in my system tray so I can't select a network, what can I do? [00:06] zac_, try the networking applet in the upper right [00:06] Hazarath, whats the output from 'file movie.avi' ? (put on pastebin to not flood the channel) [00:06] !pastebin | Hazarath [00:06] Hazarath: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [00:06] zac_: alt-f2, nm-applet --sm-disable [00:07] eth1 Interface doesn't have a list of Peers/Access-Points [00:07] Im having problems with my wired ethernet. I can dig/ping sites. I did arp, there are no address conflicts. I do not use a proxy; I cannot load any websites in FF. I can SOMETIMES connect to services such as AIM. I can sometimes load a web page if another PC on my network has just loaded it. I am running DHCP. I am stuck.. :( [00:07] neverblue: What do I put in the terminal? [00:07] file movie.avi [00:07] nominativo, looking for the networking entry for your wireless card, mine is ath0 [00:07] mine is eth1 surely [00:08] barry_: should be no reason why you can't use both your usb card and internal one - did you try the instructions that I sent to you before? [00:08] if i have linux 7.04 installed and i pop in a 7.10 cd can i update without losing anything? [00:08] Hazarath, file is a command, which tells you information about a file, in this case, your movie [00:08] not for wireless [00:08] ubuntu 7.04* [00:08] (is the same also for the others..) [00:08] cotton yes [00:08] thanks [00:08] but it is common sense to have backups in case of an emergency [00:08] cotton: yes, some stuff it will want to get from the net however [00:08] I downloaded drivers for my graphic-card, and I'ts a .run file, how do i open it in the terminal? [00:08] nickrud: that created another instance of the wired network applet, but I still don't see anything about wireless. I know its working, though, because I can list access points by command line [00:08] cotton: you can't update with the Desktop Install CD. Get the Alternate CD if you can't do a network update [00:08] well ya its connected to the internet [00:09] iwlist scanning? [00:09] whats the alternate cd? [00:09] !upgrade > cotton [00:09] neverblue: TheMatrix.mkv: Matroska data <-- That's it. [00:09] !alternate > cotton, please read your private messages [00:09] cotton: releases.ubuntu.com/7.10 , the one you need to do a disk upgrade with [00:09] it scans [00:09] on eth1 it founds 2 networks [00:09] zac_: mis read your post then. right click the applet, make sure wireless is enabled [00:10] getting closer [00:10] What does this mean: [00:10] make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.o] Error 1 [00:10] make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2 [00:10] what do you guys recomend for a virtual machine for ubuntu [00:10] it seems to be closer [00:10] cotton, you can use Xen [00:10] it's closer i know ;( [00:10] I downloaded drivers for my graphic-card, and I'ts a .run file, how do i open it in the terminal? [00:10] pici_juvenile: the real errors came earlier .... [00:10] in the network applet those should show in the drop down Network ID [00:10] nickrud: my only options are Enable Network and about. Connection information is grey'ed out [00:10] Hazarath, http://www.matroska.org/technical/specs/codecid/wavpack.html :: happy reading [00:10] Im having problems with my wired ethernet. I can dig/ping sites. I did arp, there are no address conflicts. I do not use a proxy; I cannot load any websites in FF. I can SOMETIMES connect to services such as AIM. I can sometimes load a web page if another PC on my network has just loaded it. I am running DHCP. I am stuck.. :( [00:10] zac_, enable network [00:11] zac_: you don't have an enable wireless option? [00:11] tarvid: its already enabled [00:11] zakke: don't install a .run file. Ubuntu supplies special packages for most hardware [00:11] no wireless to be seen [00:11] zakke: what graphic card do you have? [00:11] Ati radeon 9600 [00:11] tarvid i don't understand [00:11] zakke: are you on gutsy (7.10)? [00:11] Yes I am [00:11] is there a fedora chat? === dru is now known as tdru [00:11] hmm [00:11] neverblue: What does this tell me, besides script looking things? [00:12] zakke: enable the restricted driver (System-Administration-Restricted Driver Manager) [00:12] zac_: not sure what to say to that [00:12] okay, thanks! [00:12] kubuntu can work alongside ubuntu right ? [00:12] i went to #fedora and it doesnt seem to be nething [00:12] the gnome way of selecting the wireless network can be reached either throught the icon in the upper right or through System, Administration, Network [00:12] ok [00:12] CruCio: You can install the KDE package on ubuntu yes [00:12] nickrud: http://pastebin.ca/869213 [00:12] CruCio: Or in theory you could dual boot ubuntu + kbuntu --- but... why? [00:12] i set up the parameters needed [00:12] guessing you should select eth1 then properties [00:12] i need to delete a folder thats locked on the desktop [00:13] Hazarath, i think you will have to actually read it to figure it out yourself [00:13] Cpuden80 , is it only the KDE package or is kubuntu included ? [00:13] then thx for Network ID should show you a list of networkse dropdown bo [00:13] nickrud: its listed when I go to Network Settings as well. Says roaming mode is enabled [00:13] hi there [00:13] pici_juvenile: install the package libncurses5-dev [00:13] CruCio: Ehhh I don't know exactly what you want -- most people just want the KDE package (so they can use KDE) [00:13] ah roaming is another matter, deselect it for now [00:13] aruonoaru: You can gksudo nautilus and get it done.. use that command sparringly.. it can get you into trouble. [00:13] removing java [00:13] is it a bad idea to run ubuntu and fedora on the same machine? [00:14] neverblue: I can play the file, however, it stammers, hence me having the problem. If I wanted to research and develop my own files, that can come in handy. I need something to decode the files at a better rate, or convert it, not learn how it works. [00:14] roaming is zeroconf (I think) and depends on Avahi [00:14] cotton: No, why? [00:14] cotton, on different partitions, I dont see why not [00:14] i have my ubuntu installed oy my PS3 and though i love it i its impossible to install java on it [00:14] pici_juvenile: the first error was in line 09, that should fix it. [00:14] cotton: On different partitions should be ok [00:14] yes i'm not roaming [00:14] CruCio: if you want the full kubuntu desktop, do a 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' [00:14] oops looks like neverblue beat me to the punch line [00:14] Hazarath, your talking to the wrong person then [00:14] bacause i have static ip [00:14] I've changed gdm theme and changed my background colour, but still between gdm and my actualy background image coming up there's about 2 seconds of some light brown [00:14] what is that? [00:14] I dont understand where it's picking that up, but it obviously belongs to the default theme or something [00:14] !usplash [00:14] soundray , and doing this will install kubuntu and delete ubuntu right ? [00:14] To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [00:15] ok, does anyone know how to partition a flash drive? [00:15] then clicking the down arrow next to network id should give you a list of SSIDs [00:15] CruCio: no === dracula2 is now known as erstaz === erstaz is now known as dracula2 [00:15] Can anyone help me with playing back a high quality film? I tried to play it with Mplayer, and VLC, both make the system stammer, VLC more. It's a MKVformat film. Tried converting to AVI, same issues:the bitrate is too high. [00:15] zac_: When I do wireless in ubuntu I depend blindly on NetworkManager. It Works for Me™ and I haven't had to learn anything about the underlying stuff. I dread the day it stops and I must. [00:15] Jack_Sparrow: oh, I thought that was for the image at boot time [00:15] CruCio: it won't delete anything (and you shouldn't, unless you're really short of space) [00:15] yes i did [00:15] not after gdm [00:15] Jack_Sparrow: thanks [00:15] there is my network [00:15] nickrud: that did it. Thanks [00:15] yogurt: Double check.. I think it is the one you want [00:16] nominativo, click on your network then ok [00:16] i filled anything there [00:16] ok then what would be the point in download kubuntu desktop ?? [00:16] will it be running alongside ubuntu ? [00:16] hello [00:16] Jack_Sparrow: nope, it's what I thought it was, the image during boot time [00:16] CruCio: you can choose whether to use gnome or kde at login time [00:16] Is this the appropriate place to ask about a problem in Hardy? [00:16] I am learning xml by itself and I need a good dev suite for ubuntu 7.04 help [00:16] Jack_Sparrow: I'm talking of the time in between gdm going away and your background loading, after login [00:16] i need help getting my Audigy sound card to work [00:17] can anyone help me partition my flash drive? [00:17] barry_: what do you need? (describe the symptoms) [00:17] cotton: you can use gparted most likely [00:17] Jack_Sparrow: but that link will come handy, thanks [00:17] no sound at all [00:17] and when i decide to use KDE , will i be logged on to kubuntu desktop ?? or only the gnome will be replaced by KDE ? [00:17] cotton: Use gparted and treat it like any other drive [00:17] spenser309: is gparted free? [00:17] yes [00:17] barry_: download http://trilug.org/~crimsun/alsa-info.sh and run it, then tell me the url it generates [00:17] cotton: sudo aptitude install gparted [00:17] Ashnal: ping [00:18] cotton: They even have a stand alone gparted livecd [00:18] CruCio: When you choose to login as KDE - you just the KDE "look and feel" -- your documents and stuff are all carried over [00:18] CruCio: if you choose a kde session, you will have a desktop environment that is exactly the same one as a kubuntu installation would provide [00:18] jack_sparrow can i pm you i need help [00:18] is gparted a distro of linux? [00:18] ohh [00:18] hello all [00:18] good [00:18] CruCio: Basically when you switch between KDE and gnome, all you do is change the "front end" "look and feel" [00:18] aruonoaru: In channel please. [00:18] this is what i wanted to hear [00:18] how do i run that file crimsun i save it 2 desktop im new to linux [00:18] so it will be exactly as if i was running only ubuntu right ? [00:18] nominativo, dhcp no password for WPA Personal [00:19] kubuntu* [00:19] cotton: it's like partition magic. It has a livecd but can also be used as a standalone application [00:19] that should turn encryption off [00:19] exactly as if i was running KUBUNTU* [00:19] ? [00:19] CruCio: yes [00:19] anyone have a link? [00:19] no i've got static ip [00:19] good [00:19] i cannot delete the file the way you told me [00:19] for the live cd [00:19] cotton: for your application the standalone application is all you need [00:19] CruCio: no, because you will still have the choice to log out and use gnome instead of KDE [00:19] and a wep key [00:19] oh ok [00:19] Need help playing back a high quality [1,200Kbps bitrate] film on my laptop. The stream plays with a lot of frame skips, effectively stammering. I tried: Mplayer with all codecs, as well as VLC, both playing the same way. I need to somehow either get a different codec to help compensate, or either a converter that at least has a UI. [00:19] is there a version for windows [00:19] crimsun, ive been having some issues with sound lately, crakling in certain games, and I cannot get the module for my sound card to load [00:19] umm not sure [00:19] cotton: umm not sure [00:19] CruCio: soundray's definition is slightly more accurate [00:19] lets see [00:20] if your router serves DHCP and is open life will be easier\ [00:20] do i just double click it [00:20] hmm ok so what ur saying is that , when i choose KDE my desktop be kubuntu [00:20] aruonoaru: If you cannot delete the file with root/gksudo access, it is in use or something is very wrong.. Are you trying to delete a mounted drive icon perhaps? [00:20] and when i choose gnome my desktop will be ubuntu right ? [00:20] yes but i share the router [00:20] CruCio: only if you install the kubuntu-desktop package and all its dependencies [00:20] yes [00:20] but the ip setup will not prevent a connection so i would look at the wep key first [00:20] thats what am planing on doing [00:21] ok...yeah im new to linux...and mines screwed up...first the gnome wasnt working right so i wiped it and reinstalled linux and now my synaptic aint workin [00:21] ok [00:21] barry_: open a Terminal, then type: bash ~/Desktop/alsa-info.sh [00:21] and anyways what if the difference between KDE and GNOME ? [00:21] no trying to delete java to do a reintall with previous version 1.4.2 to run frostwire [00:21] CruCio: you will find out [00:21] so if i put my ubuntu 7.10 in what do i do to update now? [00:21] i filled with my key almost anything in my pc [00:21] CruCio: Just different "looks" [00:21] testing... [00:21] CruCio: two entirely different Desktops managers [00:21] CruCio: gnome uses gtk kde uses qt, not so different else :) [00:21] http://pastebin.ca/869227 there ya go [00:22] They both make the same underlying system calls [00:22] soundray , am i know tnothing about linux [00:22] am really new to it [00:22] Although they may go about it in two different way [00:22] nominativo, by sharing I assume you mean there is someone else connected at this time [00:22] ways* [00:22] yes [00:22] CruCio: the way to find out things is to try them [00:22] cotton: i cant tell but I doesnt look like it. Anyways heres the live cd http://download.tuxfamily.org/gpartedlive/gparted-livecd-0.3.4-11.iso [00:22] if any key works then you are not running wep on the router [00:22] yes exactly , just like no matter what i did i never managed to install java on ubuntu [00:23] 1 ubuntu user else and 2 wincocks user [00:23] try wpa personal with no passowrd or key [00:23] does kubuntu has the sypnatic ? [00:23] where u can install stuff ? [00:23] why? [00:23] Is this an apporpriate place to get help with Hardy Heron? [00:23] hi all. I have a problem where my ubuntu gutsy laptop locks up for about 10 seconds periodically. The system monitor has a dark blue background, which I think it means is IO behaviour (?) [00:23] CruCio: HAs a different gui package manager.... [00:23] because that will turn off encryotion on your end [00:23] crimsun, ive been having some issues with sound lately, crackling in certain games, and I cannot get the module for my sound card to load [00:23] CruCio: you can use synaptic in kubuntu, but you may prefer to use adept [00:23] Has anyone heard of this issue and if so, do they know where I can look to fix it? [00:23] Spenser309: Yes, you need to go to #Ubuntu+1 [00:24] bu wpa has a lot of problem [00:24] anyway [00:24] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks [00:24] Ok.. and anyways is there anyone in here Using kubuntu or ubuntu on their PS3 ? [00:24] np [00:24] i tried to take off the key [00:24] Jack_Sparrow no trying to delete java to do a reintall with previous version 1.4.2 to run frostwire [00:24] barry_: oh, do this: echo options snd-intel8x0 index=-1|sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [00:24] and it's just the same [00:24] we just want to turn off encryption and I think that is the way to do that [00:24] soundray, genii: None of those options helped. i think i have to recompile the kernel or dig around and find the exact driver name so i can modprobe it [00:24] i mean the same as now [00:24] now what [00:25] what is that link to paste error msgs as to not spam? [00:25] barry_: that entire string should be pasted verbatim [00:25] m [00:25] aruonoaru: Downgrading seldom works as planned... One of the problems people face when they venture outside official repos [00:25] barry_: it should echo back "options snd-intel8x0 index=-1" to you, then return a prompt [00:25] soundray,jack_sparrow any hopes in finding a java_plugin for PPC64 ? [00:25] i put wat u said in terminal [00:25] !real [00:25] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [00:25] nominativo, my router is not encrypted and my ubuntu machine says wpa personal with no password and it works and i am using it right now to connect to freenode [00:25] genewitch: you don't need any special drivers to use a synaptics touchpad. [00:25] :( [00:25] my pc thinks it's connected but it doesn't work!! [00:25] is there a way for me to get more than 2 workspaces in ubuntu 7.04? [00:25] mmmh [00:25] barry_: what's the output from `tail -1 /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base`? [00:26] i really love ubuntu on my ps3 but unable to install java really suck :( [00:26] then iwlist ap should show that [00:26] genewitch: you may have to set it up in xorg.conf [00:26] what no one knows? I dont want to paste an error and get yelled at for spamming [00:26] cotton, right click the workspace switcher, preferences then change it [00:26] cottton: create a second user [00:26] CruCio: It isnt our project any more.. no idea... [00:26] Ashnal: download and run the script I mentioned above [00:26] nominativo: what kind of connection? [00:26] according to the 0.14.6 driver page certain options have to be turned on in the kernel compile... all i know is my kernel doesn't see the synaptics device [00:26] options snd-intel8x0 index=-1 [00:26] well then i don't know any other way to make frostwire run and now i installed java directory to desktop and can't remove it [00:26] wireless [00:26] Qwexer: then use a pastebin [00:26] m [00:26] barry_: good, now reboot [00:26] hey im looking for docs or walkthough on seting up a Ubuntu user network, so that no matter what computer you sign in you have accses to all your files and settings [00:26] mmk want me to come back in here [00:26] iwconfig on mine shows connected to the right ap [00:26] broadcom4318 ndiswrapper using gutsy [00:26] !paste | Qwexer [00:26] Qwexer: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [00:27] cotton: right click on the virtual desktop icon theres a prefrences option click that [00:27] now if you are connecdted and there is no traffic try dhcp [00:27] what do i do after i reboot [00:27] most routers serve dhcp by default [00:27] jack_sparrow well then i don't know any other way to make frostwire run and now i installed java directory to desktop and can't remove it [00:27] barry_: nothing. Your audigy will be the default audio device. [00:27] crimsun: We talked the other day about hda Intel page being wrong. I was checking into it and I could net even get the -driver section to work.. let me know when you get a sec.. [00:27] okay thanks [00:27] no my router has configured in static ip [00:28] Jack_Sparrow: what couldn't you get to work? 1.0.16rc1 works fine here. [00:28] crimsun, options snd-ca0106 index=0 model=3stack position_fix=0 single_cmd=0 [00:28] I recognize this line as one i put in a file the other day trying to fix things, but i forgot which file it was in [00:28] is configured [00:28] ^^; [00:28] if you are connected can you ping your router? [00:28] Ashnal: uh... [00:28] no [00:28] that's the problem [00:28] crimsun: Let me see what one I dl'd [00:28] nominativo: And you guess that the connection is up? Do you have the blue %-Indication of the wireless connecton or do you see two black screens in your taskbar? [00:28] what makes you guys chooses Ubuntu over Kubuntu ? [00:28] are you on the same subnet with the same mask? [00:28] blue [00:28] genewitch: btw, here the device name is /dev/psaux [00:28] * genewitch doesn't like kde [00:28] hello [00:28] Ashnal: the model, position_fix, and single_cmd parameters make no sense for that driver. Those are for snd-hda-intel, not snd-ca0106. Why did you use snd-ca0106? [00:29] CruCio: personal preference. But why choose one over the other? Just install both and choose kde or gnome at the login screen [00:29] crimsun: 1.0.9 is the one I saw at the link.. did I miss something? [00:29] soundray: thanks, i tried that one as well [00:29] CruCio: gnome or kde [00:29] well hope this works, I tried to open synaptic and got this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53092/ [00:29] crimsun, uh desperate messing with things? [00:29] CruCio: was speed and minimal desktop, but i have a highish end system and now use xubuntu. [00:29] <_Codeman_> where does the kernel tree get installed to? [00:29] /msg nickserv set unfiltered on [00:29] nominativo: ok. Open a terminal and do something like 'ping www.kernel.org' [00:29] Jack_Sparrow: *Ubuntu users need 1.0.16rc1, not anything older. [00:29] Qwexer: run the command that error message suggests you run [00:29] no i tried yet [00:29] crap. [00:29] hmm.. xubuntu ? [00:29] it doesn't work [00:29] Ashnal: right, but those options I pointed out not only are wrong but don't exist for that module. [00:29] your talking about the rat right ? [00:30] crimsun: Let me see.. I thought I got the latest from the ones listed. [00:30] ohh the mouse ? [00:30] CruCio: the mouse :) === SuPeRhOmEm[off] is now known as SuPeRhOmEm [00:30] nor 'ping my.rou.t.er' [00:30] nominativo: do 'iwconfig' in that same terminal [00:30] crimsun, ah which file are they in so i can erase them? [00:30] nominativo: give me a pastebin of the console command ifconfig [00:30] looks pretty much like a Rat to me [00:30] CruCio: striped down to like 1.5gb but with compiz and emerald ofc. [00:30] yes, it gives me no parameters of my essid [00:30] Ashnal: so, first things first, fix them. Did you use /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base? I have no idea what strange commands you used. [00:30] am i making your x chat line too far to the right? [00:30] i don't know why [00:30] CruCio: I think mines a rat its evil. [00:30] yes. [00:30] i just want to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10. how big are the packages? [00:31] crimsun: Newest one in the list is File: alsa-driver-1.0.9rc4a.tar.bz2 [00:31] nominativo, paste the output if iwconfig [00:31] crimsun, i just edited a conf file [00:31] nominativo: So you are not connected... [00:31] ok === h1st0 is now known as histo [00:31] crimsun, somewhere in etc [00:31] A lot of routers don't broadcast bssid these days [00:31] so you have to know what it is [00:31] CruCio, you probably have two versions of apt running, restart may be the easiest way to clean up [00:31] i'm wired connected right now...^^; [00:31] WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW: this channel is not for jokes, it's for Ubuntu support. [00:31] <_Codeman_> Can anyone tell me where linux-source gets installed to? [00:31] paste where? [00:32] CruCio: also I chose xfce over gnome over kde because of the mouse smoothing issues with the other two. I have a razer deathadder. [00:32] !paste [00:32] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) === ConstyXIV_ is now known as ConstyXIV === h1st0 is now known as histo [00:32] Jack_Sparrow: the most current one is ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.16rc1.tar.bz2 [00:32] _Codeman_: as a compressed file to /usr/src [00:32] accel* [00:32] does anyone here have a laptop with a PCMCIA soundblaster audigy working? [00:32] I'm having problems getting flash player to work in Firefox. I installed the plugin but the flash videos and such just won't play [00:32] xfce ? [00:32] _Codeman_; somewhere in /usr/ [00:32] ohh yea the mouse right ? [00:32] anyone have any luck trying to run SC2K? [00:32] sometimes it will even freeze up the browser [00:32] thanks [00:32] in wine? [00:32] CruCio: yeah lol [00:32] ty I didnt know where at first it worked [00:33] Hey guys. How do you find a USB ID? [00:33] adrock358: with lsusb [00:33] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53094/ [00:33] CruCio, Xubuntu is a good choice for older machines [00:33] CruCio: Just made me think im using a deathadder to control the mouse :D [00:33] xubuntu is lighter, smaller [00:33] screw the rat , am gonna go with the engine and the dwarf [00:33] i included also iwlist scan [00:33] tarvid: and new if you like responsiveness [00:34] or should i say the gnome [00:34] Hello [00:34] Is this where I can ask for help with Ubuntu? [00:34] lol [00:34] yea.. [00:34] crimsun:If you look at this list you will understand my confusion.. ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/ [00:34] whenever you log on xubuntu ,the rat starts to run [00:34] making the thing spin [00:34] nominativo: You are not connected, I guess. No ESSID and no ?Signal Level' [00:34] nominativo, the router is encrypted, you will have to match the key exactly. [00:35] You know, I tried that and I got a single set of numbers. I'm following this guide, where we are editing files, and in that file they have the usb as a pair of ID's denoted {xx@xx, xx@xx} [00:35] CruCio: you're not ontopic any more -- please stop [00:35] hey anyone is familiar with ruby ? [00:35] i've got the key [00:35] i connect to many different aps, all of mine are open - not encrypted by choice' [00:35] Ok I have installed Advanced Desktop Effects in Ubuntu 7.10 Gusty and when I go to launch Quake 1 is loads in windowed mode, but the transparent effect REALLY slows the 3D down, how can I exclude certain applications from using effects? [00:35] i matched exactly [00:35] makes life easier for me and I get to share a resource [00:36] Jack_Sparrow: I'm not sure why you're not using the list on the front page (http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page)... [00:36] minimec do you see? [00:36] so soundray ?? what do i type in terminal again ? [00:36] Jack_Sparrow: (see the development version column on the trailing side) [00:36] to get the Kubuntu-desktop ? [00:36] do you see my network wlan-ap ? [00:36] apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ? [00:36] sudo* [00:36] CruCio: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [00:36] sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [00:36] Ashnal: I believe the one you used is stated above [00:36] nominativo: be aware that you often have the choise between ASCII and HEX when you enter the password in the Network Manager [00:36] crimsun, okay well that was just a stupid mistake of mine, would you happen to know if the ca0106 module has a power save feature that needs to be turned off? this fixed the sound crackling for my onboard sound [00:36] soundray. You know, I tried that and I got a single set of numbers. I'm following this guide, where we are editing files, and in that file they have the usb as a pair of ID's denoted {xx@xx, xx@xx}. Hey thanks for the help yesterday. [00:37] yes i know [00:37] it wouldn't prompt me for anything ? [00:37] it's hex [00:37] Hello. As new user, I don't know if this a Gnome or Ubuntu issue, but when I try to write DVD-Rs it tells me that it only supports DVD+Rs. I ought to add that the device used to write DVD-Rs [00:37] Ashnal: yes, but it's not an option per se. [00:37] adrock358: it's probably just reformatted [00:37] soundray am using PPC64 wouldn't matter right ? [00:37] crimsun, how would i go about doing that? as my sound card crackles when playing some games [00:37] architecture is PPC64 [00:38] my light brights with a constant frequency [00:38] it's horrible!! [00:38] nominativo, interrupt your partner, turn encryption off on both ends and try again, if it works that way, you will be sure it is the password. You are within reach of two aps, both encrypted, the essid and the encryption type and the password must all match [00:38] CruCio: dont you mean g5?? [00:38] nominativo: what does ifconfig say? [00:38] No [00:38] i have a PPC64 = playstation 3 [00:38] ok [00:39] How do I run a program fullscreen? I am trying to get ProQuake(Quake 1) running but it seems to run at 2 frames per second in window mode [00:39] or do i need g5 in order for the kubuntu-desktop to install properly ? [00:39] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53095/ [00:39] Whats the fastest gtk2-engine out at the moment? I think its murrine but not sure. [00:39] Ashnal: the poorly documented 'alsactl power off' [00:39] CruCio, never tried a ps3 but DSL is smaller and faster to install and play with [00:39] CruCio: look, you can either go and use what you've learned, or waste yours and everyone's time here by going on and on and on about it. [00:40] CruCio: if you have a ps3, i cant be g5 [00:40] crimsun, what would i do with that? [00:40] I'm having major problems with the flash player in firefox. I installed the plugin and now if I go to a page that has flash video or something of that sort....Not only will the video not play, but sometimes my system will completely freeze up :/ Any ideas please? [00:40] tarvid i tried yet removing key it doesn't work! [00:40] nominativo: Hmm... You have an IP..... Can you ping the router? [00:40] no [00:40] Ashnal: toggle it as appropriate if it's in fact the culprit. [00:41] crimsun: ./configure goes through but make.. make[3]: *** [/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.16rc1/acore/info_oss.o] Error 1 [00:41] crimsun, where is that setting located? [00:42] Jack_Sparrow: that's a bit sparse; would you pastebin the entire command and compile std{out,err}? [00:42] nominativo, wlan-ap looks like plain wep vitelloni is wpa2 [00:42] Ashnal: it's not a setting; it's a poorly documented hidden ioctl. [00:42] crimsun: sure [00:42] mine is wlan-ap [00:42] nominativo: Can you install some software on that machine (Ethernet Connection)? [00:42] is wep i know [00:42] crimsun, where would i toggle it then? in some obscure config file? [00:43] yes, i wired now [00:43] what kind of software? [00:43] nominativo, then make sure the ap selected is wlan-ap [00:43] c [00:43] Ashnal: at the cli [00:43] how? [00:43] Anyone know how to install xen in hardy? [00:43] crimsun, or just enter it straight into the console? [00:43] Ubuntu+1 aint cutting it [00:44] crimsun, alright will it stick between reboots? [00:44] nominativo: Try to install the software 'wifi-radar' and try to play around with it. [00:44] the network applet where we started and the dropdown box it should show wlan-ap and vitteloni [00:44] i've got it ^_^ [00:44] it tells me i'm connected to none [00:44] crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53099/ [00:44] CrazyWulf the easiest way to fix that I found is to put the libflashplayer.so file into your home directory for Firefox which seems to be /home/user/.mozilla/plugins/ or your equivalent it seems to look there first [00:45] Ashnal: no. [00:45] what does the dropdown box say [00:45] kubitz then I used locate to find any other copies and removed them [00:45] Connected to None (IP Address 192.168.1.121) [00:45] I'm getting the following X error [00:45] (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so: undefined symbol: __glXFindDRIScreen) [00:45] (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering [00:45] nominativo: Try to establish a connection without encryption first...

[00:46] I've got a network card that isn't working, but it's supposedly plug-and-play for ubuntu [00:46] but it isn't showing up in 7.10 [00:46] if you have static ip it will [00:46] crimsun: thanks.. I thought I had the headers right.. let me check, === thedjatclubrock is now known as theawaydj [00:46] what happened was that I tried using ATI's driver from their website, but that screwed everything up..

[00:48] click the down arrow [00:48] D-Link and wireless [00:48] it's just the same [00:48] crimsun, i see the documentation page http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Alsactl what would the card number be? [00:49] the down arrow should drop a list, what's in the list, [00:49] be explicit [00:49] there is wlan-ap (mine) and another with wpa [00:49] Ashnal: whichever is from /proc/asound/cards [00:49] select wlan-ap [00:49] then ok [00:49] yes [00:49] It's supposedly plug-and-play, but it hasn't been for me.

So check again your port forwarding setup in the router. Also make sure you are not trying to ssh in to an IP address of the machine which has been changed if it uses dhcp. [01:50] sn00zer: yes? [01:50] RyanPrior: does lsmod | grep fgrlx show it's loaded? [01:50] RyanPrior: And you have always used fglrx? [01:51] thank you, i will try that [01:51] Cpudan80: I don't think I want to use XDMCP, most tutorials say its insecure and to use ssh [01:51] Jack_Sparrow: as far as I know, yes. I have always used whatever the restricted manager provided. [01:51] RyanPrior: What is the exact problem you are having? [01:51] any1 here familiar with registering nessus? i used the command in the email and it said path not found [01:51] Is there a reason that items do not show up in Synaptic, but can be retrieved with apt-get? [01:52] nickrud: lsmod doesn't show any lines associated with fglrx [01:52] hey...guys i have question about locking down the desktop background from being changed for a user....how do I do that? [01:52] Jack_Sparrow: I very poor 3D performance and glxinfo reports that direct rendering is not enabled, whereas in the past direct rendering has worked and I've gotten better 3D performance. [01:52] RyanPrior: try sudo modprobe fgrlx , the log out and back in. I've had problems occasionally with the fglrx module not getting loaded. [01:52] specifically..I have a user logining in via ltsp..but I want to lock down their ability to change the desktop background. [01:53] RyanPrior: also, if you did the kernel upgrade recently, you might not have linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) installed [01:53] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks for being helpful, I'll be back if Nickrud's suggestion doesn't work. [01:53] RB2: The range of functions of apt-get is larger than that of Synaptic. [01:53] nickrud: I get this error from modprobe: Not loading fglrx module; not used in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:53] Can ubuntu read/write HFS? [01:53] Jack_Sparrow: been looking over your notes, they look like they are gonna be the complete bomb [01:54] does anybody here actually have TwinView setup? i don't want any wikis, I just want to know if anybody is successful with TwinView [01:54] bullgard4, ok, I was just checking. I assumed if it was in the repo list, that synaptic would see it [01:54] sn00zer: That part is required, get a firewall and lock out hits on the VNC port [01:54] RyanPrior: then you are using the ati driver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf , edit it from Driver "ati" to Driver "fglrx" [01:54] sn00zer: I have my computer only accept hits on port 22 === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:55] Cpudan80: ok [01:55] nickrud: I don't see any video driver line at all in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:55] RB2: Be more specific. What do you mean by 'it'? [01:55] Anyone have their Windows based Smartphones syncing with Ubuntu by chance? [01:55] nickrud: I think I need to add a new section. Something must have wiped out my configuration. [01:55] nickrud: Thanks.. I am trying to pull more of it together and be finished with the Ubuntu-ATI side of things [01:56] RyanPrior: wow. Sounds like it. run sudo-dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , accept the defaults for just about everything, and select fglrx for the driver [01:56] bullgard4, I was referring to the packages in the repositories, no specific one. [01:57] any1 here familiar with using nessus? [01:57] nickrud: Should I use the kernel framebuffer interface? [01:57] can someone please help me, I am looking for the package gstreamer0.10-faad. it is not in my repos and i cannot find a download source anywhere else. i know it exists though [01:57] RyanPrior: whatever the default is [01:58] what's a good fast terminal? i'm using the default that came with xubuntu but it's slow [01:58] nickrud: Would you mind testing this bash script for me... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53104/ === Linuxer is now known as nasser [01:58] Is anyone using Ubuntu on an Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop? [01:58] is there a good gnome file manager other than nautilus? [01:58] penars, you mean the konsole/xterm/gnome-terminal type terminal? if thats slow.. well.. You got either a slow system.. or some serious issues going on. [01:59] bmk789, theres several '2 pane' file managers out. depends on your needs. === root__ is now known as sexymikey [01:59] Dr_willis: is there a list somewhere?

[02:00] guys, I have an evolution question. Is it possible to group by thread also showing my messages to who ever? [02:01] kind of like a message board style so i can see the entire conversation [02:01] Alyxander: View > Group By Thread [02:01] hmm, i installed wine and tested WoW, It's working ok till i'm inlogged, i cant see the ground and myself etc, just some random houses and maybe some player... does somebody know what the problem can be? [02:01] RyanPrior: ok, that message was just a notice that a backup was being made. install linux-image-generic , it should pull in linux-restricted-modules [02:01] right I got that far. But it doesnt sho my replies [02:02] luckyone: [02:02] when i install the nvidia drivers as soon as the login screen comes up after it loads its just black but the vesa drivers and nv drivers work they just look shitty i tried the drivers off of the nvidia site and the glx [02:02] RyanPrior: also install xorg-driver-fglrx [02:02] zakke: You will have better luck asking that in #Winehq [02:02] Jack_Sparrow: Thank you [02:02] nickrud: You HAVE been reading my notes... [02:02] nickrud: Both those are already at their latest versions. [02:03] RyanPrior: from our repos or from outside official repos [02:03] Jack_Sparrow: it pulls in a lot of stuff, you are right about putting it in one file as much as possible. (and I already knew that stuff, I assumed it was why you wanted me to look ;) [02:03] Jack_Sparrow: I have main, universe, and multiverse enabled. Plus the winehq repo, but that should have nothing to do with this. [02:04] kudos ubuntu-people! [02:04] RyanPrior: put your xorg.conf on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org , along with the output of dpkg -l '*fglrx*' [02:04] Jack_Sparrow do you know that that could be? [02:04] nickrud: stuff we knew but in one place... just split for the two card catagories fglrx and aiglx [02:05] So about my Thinkpad with ubuntu --- anyone have a thinkpad running ubuntu? [02:05] I've got a problem with the sound card [02:05] My housemate does cpudan [02:05] Jack_Sparrow: no there's a lot of stuff I didn't know in there, I'm still learning from it and checking refs. I'm going to spend some more time on it tonight [02:05] Cpudan80: me too what's your problem? [02:05] does anyone know how to get .m4a files to play with rhythmbox? [02:06] sexymikey: If you installed the drivers from our repo and got a black screen, you should have then only needed to reconfigure xserver xorg... but with everything else you tried.. you may need to start from the basics.. [02:06] how do I add a sudo user. I want to do it by name, I cant edit the /etc/sudoers file [02:06] grekkos: Well everything works -- but the volume control buttons on the laptop seem to control some other volume from the regular software volume mixer [02:06] gst-inspect-0.10 | grep faad gives me the following -> faad: AAC audio decoder. [02:06] kyleBAKED: prolly have to install codecs for it from the add/remove > sound [02:06] nickrud: Run that script, I think you will see where I am going with it. [02:06] Cpudan80: for the thinkpads http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkWiki is the bomb [02:06] I have a gutsy box inside a VMWare. All was fine when I just installed it and before the first update. After the update, everytime I try to access a DVD VMWare tells me "Your virtual machine has sent an ATAPI (CD-ROM) command that is supported only when programming the drive via DMA. You will need to confogire your guest operating system to use DMA" and I am unable to play a DVD. I tried hdparm but not good. Any ideas? [02:06] nickrud: http://pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org/53107/ and http://pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org/53106/ [02:06] ramza3: you want to do it on the command line? [02:06] anyone have any ideas as to how to view bot sent and received messages in evolution in the same window. Like in a thread that has both parts of the conversation? [02:06] Flannel, yea, no xwindows [02:06] grekkos: Basically, I am looking for a way to mute/unmute the internal speakers via some command [02:06] ramza3: sudo usermod -G admin -a username [02:06] Cpudan80: oh I'm not sure about that... my sound problem is a bit different [02:07] ramza3, go for manual page of sudoers [02:07] !m4a | kyleBAKED [02:07] kyleBAKED: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [02:07] ramza3: all you have to do is add them to the admin group, no mucking around in sudoers [02:07] RyanPrior: there's something seriously wrong with that, you should have some wacom stuff there at the least. run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg , and pastebin that [02:07] Jack_Sparrow: I have, I got a _lot_ of files in that dir [02:08] hi i was thinking of getting 4 gig ram installed, wil gutsy recognise the full 4 gig? [02:08] Cpudan80: you can try what I'm doing though, I'm buildin the latest kernel from source, but I'm not even sure if that will help me [02:08] Eyemean, why dont you just try it yourself? [02:08] Jack_Sparrow ok so if i get the glx from the repo and then what do i have to reconfigure in the xorg cause i tryin reconfigurein as well several times unless im missing something [02:09] ploom, i said i was thinking of getting, i havent purchased it yet [02:09] Can Some 1 help me I got lost in GParted idk how to Extend a Ubuntu partion ive gotten 10GB off my windows partion but dont know how to add it to Ubuntu [02:09] grekkos: lol that sounds like a bit of overkill [02:09] <|chiz|_> I'm having trouble getting suspend to work in Gutsy, I think it has something to do with fglrx but I can't seem to figure it out. Anyone farmilliar with this one? [02:09] nickrud: when I run that command, all that happens is: xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuratio file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080122200852 [02:09] sexymikey: Pastebin your xorg for me please [02:09] RyanPrior: yes, it creates an xorg.conf without asking questions [02:10] nickrud: Ah. So, you want the new xorg.conf? [02:10] eyemean: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-471721.html [02:10] Jack_Sparrow: you have some duplicate info there, the lspci covers the stuff in the nvidia and ati files, for example [02:11] RyanPrior: yes [02:11] nickrud:Err Is there a guide to extending a Ubuntu partion with GParted? [02:11] nickrud: latest xorg.conf at http://pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org/53108/ [02:11] I have a 10GB partion lying around that i want to add to Ubuntu But the wording of gparted is confusing >.> [02:11] Eyemean, I would be interested if someone donates some ram. Any time. [02:11] nickrud: agreed... I kept adding everying I could find.. add anything you can think of as well. [02:11] Darkmystere: not that I know of. I haven't needed to find one. But the general rule is you can move the end of an ext3 partition, not the end the last time I checked [02:11] Jack Sparrow: paste the whole thing into here? [02:12] no [02:12] !pastebin [02:12] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [02:12] Eyemean, there are so many different producers of ram that by me - in case ubuntu cant use it, its not ubuntu's fault, but an hardware issue [02:12] nickrud: Huh not the end the?

[02:13] [02:13] petition to ban RyanPrior [02:13] dear Eyemean - good ram is not cheap at all - good old edoram days are over pretty much forever [02:13] ploom, i've been looking to build a pc for first time, so wanted to know wat maximum ram ubuntu and windows would see, that why i asked [02:14] Jack Sparrow: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53109/ [02:14] nickrud: oh ok i was like hmm you can add to the end but not to the.. [02:14] I reinstalled my os, I need to ssh into it, is there a way to refresh the .ssh/known_hosts file [02:14] lol [02:14] how do i create a .log file under /var/log/ that procmail / fetchmail can access ? [02:14] Hey Channel. Just built ubuntu server and i'm NOT finding webmin in the available packages. Is this a known issue?? [02:14] my install failed, and it went back to windows. is the system rescue cd the only way around it? [02:14] Cpudan80: hey what do you know i fixed the problem the plug was hanging half-out ^^; [02:14] Eyemean, I cant remember, for 64 bit machines - the max amount - its enough [02:14] hjhfi__: I think you need to rethink why you are asking those questions in a support room. [02:14] grekkos: ha [02:14] Cpudan80: what was your problem again? [02:14] and even for 32 bit ones - its just max per process to address [02:15] hi, gutsy didnt boot from my raid1 with crypt and luks and a lvm . is it possible to do a setup like this?? [02:15] Griz|Chembook: webmin hasn't been in Ubuntu in... a long time [02:15] Eyemean, IMHO its the motherboard (mem chipset on it) that sets the limit [02:15] !webmin [02:15] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [02:15] my raid1 is with mdadm and a software-raid [02:15] petition to ban [02:15] !ebox [02:15] no we do this [02:15] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server.

[02:16] RyanPrior: that is very odd, it not creating the default xorg.conf. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53110/ is mine, for a express 200. You can't use this one directly, because it has some custom stuff for the latest ati, but I'm wondering why you don't have the wacom stuff [02:16] Eyemean, edoram needs no constant refreshing in order to keep things remembered [02:16] Griz|Chembook: believe the factoid said ebox, see !ebox [02:17] !help [02:17] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot.

[02:19] Can someone help me, I am at the language selection screen of the install app, I picked english and now??? [02:20] thedjatclubrock: It should continue on with the installation. If you're on an old machine, it may take awhile for the next screen to come up. [02:20] RyanPrior: I'm wondering why you don't even get a serverlayout .... Are you running hardy? or have any hardy sources? [02:20] RyanPrior: How long? [02:20] RyanPrior: Did you post your xorg for me? [02:20] thedjatclubrock: Completely depends on the hardware. A friend and I tried installing xubuntu graphically on an old laptop with 64mb of RAM and each screen was taking an hour and a half to load, so we used the text-mode installer instead. [02:21] <|chiz|_> thedjatclubrock: I'm assuming you tried to click next a few times [02:21] ploom, oh well so its just about 3 gig then, thats cool for now [02:21] Jack_Sparrow: I did. The latest xorg is here: http://pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org/53108/ [02:21] |chiz|_: :P No, I don't see next. [02:21] nickrud: I am running the Hardy kernel and some supporting packages. [02:21] <|chiz|_> thedjatclubrock: what is your resolution? [02:22] RyanPrior: ok, you best be asking this on #ubuntu+1 . I have a feeling that is your issue [02:22] |chiz|_: IDK, I am new to Linux, How can I find out? [02:22] !twinview [02:22] xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [02:22] nickrud: Just upgrading to those packages didn't break the 3D support immediately, though. It happened awhile afterwards. [02:22] !dualhead [02:22] Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [02:22] nickrud: I will ask in #ubuntu+1 and see if they have some Hardy-specific advice though. [02:22] RyanPrior: did you pin, or do some other thing that would ensure you don't get anything else from hardy? [02:22] Eyemean, you could enter "Memory management in Linux" into google and read about it [02:23] Does anyone know if LVPM Will work to Resize my Ubuntu partion? [02:23] <|chiz|_> thedjatclubrock: I'm not even too sure on the one, if you hit crtl+n that might get you to the next screen [02:23] cool will do ploom, cheers [02:23] this is a nasty tater...dual lcds...anybody running twinview, dualhead or xinerama? [02:23] <|chiz|_> thedjatclubrock: assuming that your resolution is just too small to see that part of the screen [02:23] If using twinview. you dont want to enable xinerama [02:23] RyanPrior: It should look more like mine.. http://pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org/53112/ [02:23] |chiz|_: It is working, I can hear it [02:23] Jack_Sparrow: he has some packages from hardy ... [02:23] <|chiz|_> thedjatclubrock: good stuff [02:23] Jack_Sparrow: I know, but it's way more minimal than that. [02:23] RyanPrior: Is the text-based on the normal CD [02:24] dr_willis: i realize this, but i have tried them all with a fresh install each time and nothing has worked. [02:24] thedjatclubrock: As far as I know, you need the Alternate Install CD to use the text-mode installer. [02:24] RyanPrior: Stuck going into +1.. [02:24] RyanPrior: that xorg.conf would make sense with a later version of xorg, it's supposed to autoconfigure a lot more [02:24] * thedjatclubrock says Oh noes [02:24] crwlr, No idea what you are tring to do exactly. On my dual moniotopr system with a nvidia 8800 card. I enable the nvidia drivers. then run the nvidia config tool to enable the 2 displays [02:24] Eyemean, and remember that mail archive is since year 2004 - nowadays modern computers are 64bit [02:25] nickrud: Perhaps that's what I've got, then. [02:25] * nickrud envies Dr_willis [02:25] Hi:) does someone have a spare minute to look at my USB problem...the ports aren't working....http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53111/ [02:25] dr_willis: i have an nvidia 6600 trying to do the same thing. where's you get the nvidia config tool? [02:25] where'd* [02:25] crwlr, type nvid :) [02:25] !find nvidia-settings [02:25] nickrud: What do I do if the newer xorg were configuring it wrong? [02:25] Found: nvidia-settings [02:25] ploom, yeah im looking to get e2140 but wasnt sure about get 64 bit operating system or sticking to 32bit [02:25] nvidia-settings and nvidia-xconfig [02:26] does anybody know of a good tutorial for installing dotproject on ubuntu gutsy [02:26] RyanPrior: How do I know if it is working, and not frozen [02:26] RyanPrior: talk to the dudes on #ubuntu+1. If you added those repos, you're at +1 or at least a bastardized mix [02:26] thx, dr_willis. i am doing a fresh install now, so i will give that a shot. maybe you solved my problem. if you did, then ur a god in my book [02:26] <|chiz|_> does anyone know what command gutsy uses to suspend to ram? [02:27] does the ubuntu livecd have sambafs? [02:27] Eyemean, why not AMD? [02:27] crwlr, fresh install? why do you need to do that. [02:27] can somebody help me with raid+crypted lvm? [02:27] thedjatclubrock: That can be hard to tell. [02:27] Caplain, yes [02:27] thanks [02:27] i need help with a video card problem anyone got a sec??? [02:28] ploom, for one thing this e2140 can be easily overclocked to 3GHz [02:28] dr_willis: because i change stuff and just feel like a clean install would do fine. only takes me 10 mins [02:28] prometoys: I can try. Tell me what's your problem. [02:28] ..thanks poli [02:28] <|chiz|_> sexymikey: what is your problem? [02:28] i installed gutsy [02:28] ploom, i've got amd now so now that im upgrading i wanted to try intel [02:28] does anybody know of a good tutorial for installing dotproject on ubuntu gutsy [02:28] its a software raid managed by mdadm. in the raid1 is crypted partition with lvm [02:28] Eyemean, ok, all the best [02:29] cheers ploom [02:29] Eyemean, one last link: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000811.html [02:29] poli: installation was no problem, but during boot the raid partition isnt decrypted [02:29] chiz: i am running a geforce 6600 gt in fiesty and when i try to install the nvidia drivers and i resart after it loads it just goes black at the login screen === DongleDude is now known as Patrickva [02:30] poli: i can decrypt it manually from busybox, but how it ask me automatically to decrypt the partition? [02:30] Hi guys [02:30] prometoys: busybox? are you running that from the liveCD or something? [02:30] sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.0.26/SharedDocs /mnt Can anyone see an error in this command? [02:30] sexymikey: ...someone with that nick? sure [02:30] I needed some help with ubuntu, I had heard this is the right place.... [02:30] no, because during boot it couldn find / (its inside the crypted lvm) it jumps to busybox [02:31] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock.... [02:31] <|chiz|_> sexymikey: sorry dude, I thought that you were going to ask about the fglrx driver. You could try a new xorg.conf by running sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:31] I guess I'll go after thye current issue is resolved [02:31] poli: i am not a irc pro.. did you see my answer? [02:31] What program can i use Besides GParted To Entend my Ubuntu install? [02:31] prometoys: hm that's a problem. You need initrd to do the encrypted mount for you [02:31] BananaMon: go ahead and ask your question...if someone knows they'll probablby answer [02:31] poli: great, but how :D [02:31] I have the newest version of smbclient installed. I know fedora now uses cifs, but I though debian/Ubuntu still used smbfs to mount up windows shares [02:32] let's discuss heath ledger's untimely passing [02:32] prometoys: yes I did. just put my nick in front of your reply and it gets pretty yellow when you talk to me [02:32] lol....I was just discussing that with a friend....anyway... [02:32] chiz i tryed reconfiguring but the only way it will work is with the vesa or nv driver not the nvidia [02:32] poli: i try to remember this, its really fast here :D [02:32] I just woke up from a nap, and I swear I was coding python in my sleep. [02:32] sleeping pills? pls. [02:32] From #freenode --> unfar ban in all of Ubuntu channels requesting a sue. Ubuntu sucks [02:33] prometoys: when you install Ubuntu from the alternate CD (I suppose from the server CD also) it will give you the option to get a full disk encrypted LVM, if you chose that option, the installer will do all the necessary steps for you [02:33] Where can I read what PC configuration I need to run ubuntu ? [02:33] my ubuntu is stuck in a weird mode....everytime I try to log in, all I see is a black screen, but with my pidgin window and cursor intact [02:33] How muc RAM do I need ? [02:33] I can use the pidgin and cursor fine, but nothing else [02:34] hello. how do I correct my tty1 keyboard settings? i have my WM settings correct, but tty1 isnt.. i have no / key! [02:34] pubuntu? [02:34] poli: i didnt use this option, because i want also a software raid and some space for.. you know win... [02:34] BananaMon: in the upper left part of the screen? [02:34] I can't log into the failsafe gnome....same thing occurs there but with the human theme instead..... [02:34] poli: It just shows up regularly....it's a regular window [02:34] <|chiz|_> sexymikey: did you install a new kernel since installing the nvidia driver (doesn't explain why nv doesn't work but...) [02:34] Duh... must install smbfs first... [02:34] Someone slap me [02:35] prometoys: did you try this option? I imagine it will give you the option to configure the parameters yourself. [02:35] prometoys: It is, in my opinion, the easiest way of getting what you want working fine. [02:35] chiz no its a fresh install ive tryed 2 fresh installs already ive been workin on this since 9 this morning lol [02:35] poli: i have a debian etch server with crypted lvm, but couldnt find something useful, expect /etc/crypttab [02:36] What's a good newsreader for ubuntu? [02:36] prometoys: if you have your root (/) file system encrypted, you will need something "special" in your initrd file to be able to mount it as root. [02:36] poli: no, i didnt try it. i have a complete installed ubuntu, so i would prefer to fix it [02:36] ThreeFingerPete, I would be interested in the solution too once you find it. The best I can google is http://www.shallowsky.com/linux/keymap.html [02:36] htns: rss? thunderbird. [02:36] ThreeFingerPete, but there has to be some nice "debian" or "ubuntu" way [02:36] <|chiz|_> sexymikey: hmmmm..... [02:36] poli: not rss, like usenet. [02:37] ploo its suggested to just tick with 3gig for now [02:37] I need to connect to a newsgroup server [02:37] ploom [02:37] Like outlook express does [02:37] Eyemean, yes? [02:37] any ideas? I can't access/use anything there...I have had to revert Vista, which totally sucks [02:37] ploom, thats a very intresting read still reading though [02:37] poli: right.. so my initrd-image is messed up.. mhh another question: how can i activate the lvm, after i decrypted it manually? [02:37] prometoys: you will have to generate a new initrd with support for what you want. [02:37] Eyemean, was for mee to - nice to remember things [02:38] prometoys: that should also be done in the initrd, considering your root partition is there. [02:38] ploom,, only problem is 64bit drivers arent really out there, hahah [02:38] Chiz: i tryed the glx drivers i tryed the ones off of nvidias site and i tryed a scripy called envy and all of themdo the same thing no problems installin its only after i restart [02:38] prometoys: I have only the slightest idea of how do to that, but initrd used to be VERY DAMN HARD to do last time I did it. [02:39] Eyemean, thats Vistas problem more - I have one 64 bit linux machine up and running with no driver problems any more [02:39] poli: thank you for your help. i will try to find out, how to solve this... now i have a direction [02:39] is there a guide to Using Gparted to Add room to a Ubuntu dedicated partion [02:39] prometoys: debian/ubuntu way may have made that somewhat easier these days, I can't tell. [02:39] poli: good night/day/morning :D [02:39] prometoys: good luck [02:39] oh well life is life, i would only be saying about £25 ploom, so i might aswell get 4gig, and once 64bit drivers really kick off then i'll be ready [02:39] poli: thanks... [02:40] <|chiz|_> sexymikey: really strange, I have the same card in my desktop and I didn't have any trouble installing gutsy [02:40] lol, good to see someone's problem was solved....any leads here poli? [02:40] nice one ploom, yeah cause im looking to stay with win xp for gaming and stuff and ubuntu of course [02:40] <|chiz|_> sexymikey: pastebin your xorg.conf [02:40] poli: if i figure it out, maybe it takes longer, but later i hope to have more knowledge about lvm and crypt/luks [02:40] is there any way to harden the current boot status? [02:40] poli: thanks again and bye, i am offline now... [02:40] i.e. - it seems like every time i boot this thing, i get different results. i just rebooted and my sound finally came back on... [02:40] Eyemean, speaking of linux drivers - just try ubuntu live cd first - and I bet you will be amazed [02:40] i want to make sure it will the next time i reboot it [02:41] chiz: im running 64bit feisty everything else works great its just that [02:41] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53109/ [02:41] should i partion the entire disk or just the free space? [02:42] BananaMon: you might have screwed up your window manager's configuration. Try selecting something else in "Options" at the login screen, and, as a last resource, probably deleting the preferences dirs in your home dir will solve it. (actually rename it something else and get a fresh from skell) [02:42] im using gutsy now ploom, or do u mean once i upgrade? [02:42] <|chiz|_> sexymikey: there is the difference, and someone scoffed at me for running the 32bit version today [02:43] hi, I followed this tutorial but had to reboot right before the last step - "depmod -ae" - can anyone tell me if I should just enter that command or if I'm borked? http://rtl-wifi.sourceforge.net/wiki/Installing [02:43] chiz do you think running the 32 bit might fix it? [02:43] poli: that sounds good, but I've tried everything else from my options menu....I guess I'll go and rename the prefs thing from the terminal, so it is /home/myname/Prefrences? [02:43] exit [02:44] oops. [02:44] Not a terminal [02:44] :) [02:44] lol yeah [02:44] <|chiz|_> sexymikey: maybe, I just know that my experiences with 64bit linux has all been bad [02:44] Where can I read what PC configuration I need to run ubuntu ? [02:44] How muc RAM do I need ? [02:45] hever_: ubuntu 256meg min. xubuntu much less [02:45] hever_, how much do you ahve? [02:45] have* [02:45] BananaMon: I am a complete n00b in graphical mode, I usually only care about server stuff. I suppose you might want to try to rename the .gnome2 directory. [02:45] chiz haha well considering ive been tryin to get this to work since 9 this morning mine has too [02:45] hever_, try http://ubuntu.com [02:45] Chiz i guess ill just give that a try then thanks [02:45] Eyemean, I just told you in case there are any doubts in whether ubntu (or linux) will have drivers - just ask for an hour from a friend with some nice 64bit machine to boot up livecd and try it all out (without any installings and formattings) first [02:45] <|chiz|_> sexymikey: good luck [02:46] poli: k, thanks poli...I'll try that out, if not, I'll research about the windows manager thing [02:46] noonan: I found there no infos. [02:46] LjL: What program can i use to move a 10GB Partion to the Dedicated Ubuntu Partion Im lost with Gparted.. [02:46] anyone know how to undo an attempted wireless driver install? [02:46] oh right i get u, cheers ploom [02:46] poli: thanks again, tc guys, keep up the good work [02:46] BananaMon: or .gconf sorry, I have little clue about it [02:46] Darkmystere: didn't udnerstand the question [02:46] DCC SEND "startkeylogger" 0 0 0 [02:46] KNYlaptop: I'm going to buy a new old laptop for my girlfirend ;) [02:46] <|chiz|_> So it seems Gutsy+Fglrx=No Suspend To Ram :( [02:46] BananaMon: of the hidden dirs in your home :) [02:46] LjL: How can i add more space to my Ubuntu partion? [02:46] hever_, click on documentation, then "new to Ubuntu?" [02:47] What about Ubuntu on a iBook ??? [02:47] lol k, I'll look that up...thanks again, bye [02:47] hever_ I know it can be done [02:47] Darkmystere, should be a matter of dragging the slider for that partition in gparted... of course, you can't run it from your live system. you need a live cd. [02:47] Im trying Gparted But i dont really know how to work it.. [02:47] LjL: Err theres no space left really on this partion [02:48] noonan: so there are no problems with PPC? But I think 64MB are tooooooo less [02:49] noonan: there are no informations about requirements [02:49] Omg no 1 can help me i dun want to reinstall i just got Everything fixed.. [02:50] hever_, i never said no problems .. buut [02:51] hever_: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/desktopedition at the very bottom [02:52] Question about aterm: I have tried to use transparency by running aterm with the +tr and +trsb options, but there is still no transparency. Any ideas? === SuPeRhOmEm is now known as SuPeRhOmEm[off] [02:52] !away > SuPeRhOmEm[off] (SuPeRhOmEm[off], see the private message from Ubotu) [02:52] Anyone know what would cause Frostwire not to start up at all? Tried reinstalling and still a no go [02:53] Hi. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a laptop to run Ubuntu 7.10. The things i'm looking for are: Core 2 Duo CPU, 4 GB RAM, ATI discreet graphics, DVD burner, and screen at least 1000 pixels high (don't really care if it's widescreen or not). Any suggestions? [02:54] Breebo, i don't think you read the manpage right (always do that) -- aterm -tr -trsb -sh 60 [02:54] CrazyWulf: you have java installed? [02:54] I've known ATI to have problems with ubuntu [02:54] <|chiz|_> blahdeblah2: don't get ati graphics [02:54] CrazyWulf: sun java , that is [02:54] yeah [02:55] especialy if you want a 3d desktop [02:55] jason__, |chiz|_: OK, let's say without the ATI graphics. I care almost zero about 3D. [02:55] <|chiz|_> blahdeblah2: I've run ubuntu on intel graphics and its great [02:55] I've had excellent results with my ATI X1300 on Debian etch. [02:56] I have intel, ati and nvidia.. all decent effects.. [02:56] I flashed the BIOS of my Mirra backup device to get into the CMOS w/o the manufacturers password and enable a cdrom drive. I am now having trouble installing Ubutnu server. I get: Loading /install/vmlinuz......... [02:56] Loading /install/init.gz............ [02:56] Ready [02:56] <|chiz|_> blahdeblah2: ATI's drivers are just not where they should be [02:56] but then it just sits there with a blinking _ character [02:56] some ATI has no problems. If it ran there my guess is it will run here. Ubuntu is a Debian [02:56] Can some 1 please help me i just want to add space to my Ubuntu Partion [02:57] Anyway, about laptop recommendations... ;-) [02:57] Darkmystere, use a partitioning program from a live CD [02:57] <|chiz|_> blahdeblah2: yeah I would recommend intel everything [02:57] greetings, I am trying to move a selection in GIMP, in the manual it says to hold ALT+SHIFT+Left Mouse, but when I do this, it moves my whole window. Is ubuntu somehow taking control away from GIMP with this shortcut? And if so, how can I disable it so I can use it in GIMP? [02:57] <|chiz|_> blahdeblah2: no problems and you'll save money [02:57] Darkmystere: NOt that simple of a request, Sort of like wanting to just move your house across the street... [02:57] Honestly, I haven't seen a computer that didn't run ubuntu. Is it compatibility your conserned with. [02:57] un0p: Theres no more space on this partion i want to add another partion at the end [02:57] |chiz|_: I'm asking for brands and models here, not chipsets. [02:58] Jack_Sparrow: i Know but i made 10GB Free and i want to add it to my Ubuntu partion i have around 150mb left.. [02:58] <|chiz|_> blahdeblah2: don't get a toshiba, I hate this thing I'm typing on [02:58] Meshezabeel: I'm pretty sure that is a compiz shortcut [02:58] jason__: No, just knowing what brands & models are out there that are known to work. [02:58] Nvidia 6600 is nice as is my older ati 9200 [02:58] Darkmystere, there are also limits to the # of partitions you can have on a drive. (4 primaries) or make a extended partition to hold locgicals if you need more. [02:59] does anyone know if the "xorg-dev" package is xlib? [02:59] Darkmystere: Start by posting your fstab -l [02:59] !find xlib [02:59] Found: libglu1-mesa-dev, libosmesa6-dev, libxcb-xlib0, libxcb-xlib0-dbg, libxcb-xlib0-dev (and 9 others) [02:59] I know HP Emachiene Viao Compaq. I've run it fine on all of those [02:59] Darkmystere, all you really have to do then is format the free space at the end and move /usr over onto it [02:59] Ademan: dont think so. [02:59] genii, hmm, how do I disable compiz, I went to system -> Preferences -> Appearance and set the Visual Effects to "NONE". I assumed this disabled compiz, but maybe not. [03:00] anyreason my browser keeps closing early when I'm using my browser ? [03:00] any ideas about this? [03:00] Checking for zr ... yes (libavcodec (static) is required by zr, sorry) [03:00] un0p: Will it still use the space i have and sec Jack [03:00] Jack_Sparrow: Command not found [03:00] The only one that has problems is my Emachien. That is because of ATI [03:00] Meshezabeel: by default, that should only happen if you don't hold down shift (at least with compiz, perhaps metacity is different) [03:00] Darkmystere, get GParted on a live CD [03:00] User2005: Which browser and how did you install flash, java and what plugins are you running [03:00] Meshezabeel: you can change that key at System > Preferences > Windows though [03:00] Darkmystere, if you were to move /usr over -- then you will free up space under / (in the order of atleast 2-3 gigs) [03:00] Darkmystere: Start by posting your sudo fstab -l last letter is L [03:01] wait.. fdisk -l [03:01] Darkmystere, Jack_Sparrow -- it's fdisk -l [03:01] Jack_Sparrow: i copy pasted it it says fstab command does not exist.. [03:01] Ademan: xorg-dev will pull in all the X development headers, probably will give you what you're looking for [03:01] lol [03:01] nickrud: thanks [03:01] Darkmystere: Sorry, trying to eat dinner and type with half a brain working [03:01] anyone here installed Ubuntu onto a Mirra backup device? [03:01] hello all [03:02] well, I fixed it finally.. after digging around in .so file symbols I discovered that the ati driver had place some .so files that were being picked up before the .deb's files were.. then I found an uninstall script for the ati driver. I ran that and then reinstalled all xorg, mesa, and fglrx packages and now it's working again! phew [03:02] It just returns command prompt Jack_Sparrow [03:02] Restarting colloquy, brb [03:02] crdlb, okay, thanks, I changed the key to super, strange that option just can't be disabled as ALT+F7 does it anyhow [03:02] Meshezabeel: alt-f2 then gnome-wm --replace to enable compiz after again: alt-f2 compiz --replace [03:02] Darkmystere, you probably need to run it under sudo -- sudo fdisk -kl [03:02] Darkmystere: sudo fdisk -l [03:02] err - sudo fdisk -l [03:02] anyone in here know a legit way to create a vm of XP without buying a copy of XP? [03:03] Um, no [03:03] thanks genii [03:03] Jack_Sparrow: Yea that was it [03:03] psyber, impossible === u^A is now known as u^A_ [03:03] psyber, not likely to ever happen [03:03] psyber: No.. and please dont ask again in here [03:03] hi [03:04] The Official OpenOffice packages are better than Ubuntu's http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4188762#post4188762 [03:04] !pastebin [03:04] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

[03:14] <|chiz|_> done [03:15] <|chiz|_> arjuna: then usually you need to just run ./configure from inside the dcpp folder [03:15] hotdog003: How would I do that in synaptic? [03:15] <|chiz|_> arjuna: and then make and then make install as root [03:15] Jack_Sparrow: No no, I just mean ignore the check and try to use the version that's there. I've installed things that way before - accidentally. [03:15] tempete: Sorry, cant help... [03:15] <|chiz|_> arjuna: but you have to have all the necessary librarys and compilers, ./configure usually checks for all the dependancies [03:16] Jack_Sparrow: That's okay. I just changed the ./configure. That issue is fixed. Now onto the other dependencies! Thanks, un0p. [03:16] Jack_Sparrow Still eating? [03:16] tempete, you seem to be running quite an old version of libgnomecanvas2 .. can't you try upgrading that from your distro's repos? [03:16] un0p: Hm? I checked their site and it's the latest, It hought. [03:16] <|chiz|_> ./configure from inside the dcpp folder [03:17] <|chiz|_> bash: ./configure: No such file or directory [03:17] Cpudan80: I have another question [03:17] Fire away! [03:17] Darkmystere: I am not going to have time to help much tonight. Just remember to read !uuid since you may end up changing them and needing to edit fstab to get back in.. [03:17] Cpudan80: I got it going according to the guide but i can only log in as root [03:17] tempete, 2.20 seems to be current on gutsy [03:17] !uuid [03:17] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [03:17] how do I add a network printer in gutsy? [03:18] sn00zer: Hrm? [03:18] It should work for any user [03:18] I'm using 2.9.2. The latest stable on their website is 2.9.1. [03:18] Ubuntu doesn't usually update things until the next stable release is out. [03:18] sn00zer: which part forces you to be root -- can you walk me through the steps you are using to login?" [03:18] !shell [03:18] <|chiz|_> bash: ./configure: No such file or directory [03:18] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [03:18] guys how do i add my wireless network logo on my panel ???? :S [03:18] <|chiz|_> arjuna: I see that [03:19] hey guys, im running ubuntu on an ancient laptop, it has an intel 82815 integrated gpu, i've got direct rendering working at 24bit colour, but in any game the colours are all like bright pink/green [03:19] my wireless network signal (bars) [03:19] <|chiz|_> arjuna: that is usually how its done [03:19] <|chiz|_> arjuna: read the Readme.txt file though [03:19] <|chiz|_> arjuna: it explains it all in there [03:19] What's the name of an OS X dock-like app I can use on ubuntu? [03:19] Cpudan80: i stopped it /etc/init.d/xinetd stop, kill all xvnc processes, restart xinetd as current user [03:20] Good Morning. [03:20] hi sorry to ask a windows question here... but my windows drive shat tiself and thus had to revert to y trusty linux ubuntu back up...what coomands are avail to me in the terminal to do some sort of chkdsk on te windows volume before i erase it! [03:20] wookienz: i donno if you can chkdsk but you can try to mount it [03:20] Anyone care to answer my question? [03:20] I [03:20] Cpudan80: then go to other computer and type vncviewer ip.ip.ip.ip:1 [03:20] would like to run my screen at 1280 x 1024 at something above 56 Hz. any idea how to get the Hz's up? [03:20] wookienz, ntfsfix from ntfsutils [03:21] <|chiz|_> i can't understand anything in there [03:21] sn00zer: I thought you only wanted to do it via SSH [03:21] !ask | napster [03:21] napster: 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. :-) [03:21] I'm from a training center, we recieved PC's from other country, already installed ubuntu, just wanna know the default password and username. [03:21] sn00zer: In which case you would have to ssh to it first [03:21] anyone ever see this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=637206 with the acx driver? [03:21] Cpudan80: a prompt dialog opens, username greyed out, enter password which i set with vncpasswd [03:21] napster: there is no default username and password [03:21] !sudo | napster (user passwords might have been set differently by the previous owner) [03:21] napster (user passwords might have been set differently by the previous owner): sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [03:22] We can't login to those PC. [03:22] Cpudan80: i do [03:22] un0p: thnaks will give thata try [03:22] napster: if you're being asked for a username and password to log in, then they set up the user accounts, and you need to edit those users. [03:22] any ideas how to fix my problem guys? [03:22] Cpudan80: so do i log into remote host with ssh, then vncviewer localhost:0 ? [03:22] napster, you'll need to change the passwords -- can you boot up into recovery mode ? [03:22] how do I add a network printer in Gutsy? [03:22] grekkos: it mounts ok and i can explore it.. well some of it before it locks up the entire computer...i think there maybe a physical error on it [03:22] sn00zer: might be localhost:1 [03:23] <|chiz|_> arjuna: try ./Sconstruct PREFIX=/path/to/install [03:23] hotdog003: Same problem. Couldn't retrieve any of the files. [03:23] <|chiz|_> arjuna: try /path/to/install could equal /usr/local [03:24] wookienz, be advised that any ntfs support on linux (or any other OS) is not 100% reliable and you can do damage [03:24] anyone know why a rar file says unsupported archive type? [03:24] wookienz, any other os that's not windows , i should say * [03:24] wookienz: might want to get rid of it then, but I'm probably not the best person to ask about this... If there's nothing irreplaceable on it i'd reformat [03:24] you need a different achive manager. Then it will work [03:24] noonan, it's probably not an rar file [03:24] has anyone installed succesfully a Keylogger in Ubuntu? [03:25] Cpudan80: it says error can't open display [03:25] the default archiver doen't work [03:25] key logger to do what, geokeratz ? [03:25] un0p, hmm, it says it is with "file" command [03:25] noonan, sudo apt-get install rar [03:25] geokeratz, installing keyloggers is an uncool thing to do [03:25] geokeratz: No.. too much of a spyware tool... [03:25] sn00zer: What did you type? [03:25] lol [03:25] un0p: i save everything elsewhere...i can wax it at any time! [03:25] sn00zer: Have to tunnel X with your SSH by the way, ssh -X [03:25] noonan, if file reports it as a rar file, then the archive is probably damaged [03:25] yaser, cool thanks [03:25] Cpudan80: ah yes, i forgot the -X [03:26] noonan, yw [03:26] un0p, hmm, weird ok [03:26] I've had the same problem [03:26] <|chiz|_> Does anyone know how to install tuxonice on Gutsy [03:27] just type rar into add/remove there you can find a program to do it for you. [03:27] !info tuxonice [03:27] Package tuxonice does not exist in gutsy [03:27] hey guys, im running ubuntu on an ancient laptop, it has an intel 82815 integrated gpu, i've got direct rendering working at 24bit colour, but in any game the colours are all like bright pink/green any ideas how i can fix this? [03:27] noonan, try unrar first, else if you have a wine subsystem running, you could try running winrar and see if that helps [03:27] |chiz|_, probly by compiling yourself [03:27] Cpudan80: ok, logged into the remote host, connected to localhost:1, it prompts for a password, i used the one i set with vncpasswd and it opens up as root [03:28] <|chiz|_> soldat: I guess so, I see they are going to put it in the next version [03:28] Hey guys. Why can't I change ownership of any of my /media/ items? [03:29] |chiz|_, is it worth the wait. if not install via compiling. othersise its a few months before hardy is released [03:29] rpj8, what command are you giving [03:29] rpj8: Because udev remakes the hard drive /dev/sdX items every reboot with ownership belonging to root [03:29] hello, mon amiré I need help setting up a tf2 dedicated server' [03:29] soldats: 'sudo chown floor5 /media/sda1/Music' [03:29] <|chiz|_> well currently I don't havea working suspend 2 ram for my laptop :S [03:30] genii: I see. So I guess there's no way to make them accessible with samba then [03:30] sn00zer: What do you mean it opens up as root? [03:30] rpj8, is floor5 a file or folder [03:30] sn00zer: It should bring you to a login prompt [03:30] soldats: floor5 is a user. [03:31] rpj8: Subdirectories should be able to be chowned, as you just put in this case, /media/sda1/Music Music folder should be re-ownable [03:31] genii: chown: changing ownership of `/media/sda1/Music': Operation not permitted [03:31] rpj8, if genii said its not possible it may not be. but youmeed to give it permissions like "sudo chmod 777 /media/sda1/Music" and all users should be able to access it [03:32] I'll wait my turn then [03:32] rpj8: are you sure it's not the sudo command which is the "Operation not permitted " ? [03:32] soldats: You also can't make the file anymore open than 770. do to the umask in fstab [03:32] err i meant "GIVE" it permisions like "sudo chmod 777 ******" [03:32] Cpudan80: when i run vncviewer it prompts for a password in the terminal, after i enter the password i set with vncpasswd it opens a new window like a desktop, wallpaper, desktop icons, etc but its the root user [03:32] genii: I copy/pasted the exact message from my console [03:33] rpj8, is the volume mounted under /media/sda1 a FAT volume? [03:33] un0p: Why yes, yes it is [03:33] sn00zer: Ehh... that isn't right --- go back and reread the thing [03:33] how do i get into the long wizzard to reconfigure my keymap (installed with turkish keymap by mistake... yay) :) thanks a bunch [03:33] sn00zer: also see what happens when nobody is logged into the "server" side [03:33] rpj8, FAT has no understanding of ownership and permissions [03:33] rpj8: Try: sudo echo "test" and tell me if it says not permitted or echos back the word test [03:34] rpj8, you need to use mount options as a workaround -- mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 -o mode=755 [03:34] un0p: Nice call about the FAT fs [03:34] yup java bug report An error report file with more information ???? [03:34] genii: got output of test [03:34] un0p: I see. So is there no way to make it accessible thru samba? [03:34] rpj8, well, once you mount it -- then you can share it with samba, why not? [03:35] FAt is windows so samba should be able to access it [03:35] <|chiz|_> i can't understand anything in there [03:35] hey guys, im running ubuntu on an ancient laptop, it has an intel 82815 integrated gpu, i've got direct rendering working at 24bit colour, but in any game the colours are all like bright pink/green any ideas how i can fix this? [03:35] soldats, FAT is not windows :) [03:35] anyone know of getting better battery life [03:35] firefox java driven ? [03:35] viktor, do you mean the keyboard layout? [03:35] hanophix33: Is it an ATI video card? [03:35] jack_sparrow: yes [03:36] un0p: Hopefully...

[03:37] thanks un0p [03:37] un0p, tru. i could have sworn he said NTFS. oh well. samba should recognize everythign though [03:37] hanophix33: May have some info for you.. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53118/ [03:37] >.< [03:37] geokeratz: well, when i select my session and logon, i have turkish keyboard, also in fluxbox, but in gnome i managed to get the swedish keyboard [03:37] does anybody know how to turnoff recent documents, and deleting .recently-used.xbel and replacing it with a dir name .recently-used.xbel dosen't count [03:38] <|chiz| you said the uptoday version have a search function that lets me search all the forums [03:38] jsalf [03:38] any pref setting anywhere?

[03:47] tritium, hey i fixed that sound problem i was having [03:47] fatedkiss: great! What was the fix? [03:47] geokeratz, i was thinking, maybe if i create a text file, from which i can copy some commands and paste them into the terminal in fluxbox i can get the correct kbmap [03:47] <|chiz|_ thank you i isntalled but still says the same thing in about ob dc++ .698 [03:47] grekkos, if its in a home folder then u have to link to it, in a sense. but its usualy /etc/bin [03:47] <|chiz|_ where is the new version> [03:47] corrections anyone?

[03:48] tritium, yea [03:48] pvl1: I was hoping maybe there was a way to just add a new path to $PATH and do it that way but I don't think it works like that [03:48] fatedkiss: well, I'm glad to hear it :) [03:48] grekkos, no like if ur gonnna run something from the run command, it would be like /home/you//folder/app [03:49] <|chiz|_> tritium: this guy wants a newer version [03:49] grekkos, actually i think there is but idk how to do it. google around or search the forums.

[03:50] geokeratz, thanks a million for your time anyways, im gonna try to add a gnometerm to the startup and a textfile with the correct command :) [03:50] Cpudan80: ok, i think its working now, except i can't login twice, the guide says it prompts to login anyway or abort, i get the login screen and it rejects a second login automatically [03:50] if you have a ~/bin dir it should get added to the path [03:50] <|chiz|_> tritium: I guess there is a new feature that makes the difference [03:50] cory_: but if i add it to path will it work when I try to run the command from the gnome run dialog? [03:51] sn00zer: To login over top an existing login, use :0 instead of 1 [03:51] Does anybody know if PPC Live works with Airport? [03:51] |chiz|_: cool, then. Thanks for helping him.

[03:58] it runs without being verbose and it doesnt show me what partitions its looking at or how far along it is or what its doing [03:58] its really irritiating [03:58] sn00zer, well the same router means you connect via rrouter ip address ie. 192.160.1.*** outside connections means you connect via other ip addresses. then connect to the user you want [03:58] i turned the splash loading screen off [03:58] sn00zer: Hrm... dunno === zobf is now known as bobfarrell [03:59] sn00zer: You may have to enable the "easy" VNC to login overtop an existing user [03:59] nugz1212: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CreatingScreencasts [03:59] soldats: i've got that, it is connecting to the computer fine, it just says i'm already logged in and wont let me login again [03:59] sn00zer: System, prefs, remote desktop [03:59] high-freq, what in this represents the minor and major number? crw------- 1 root root 4, 6 Jan 22 11:53 /dev/tty6 [03:59] tritium: doesn't say anything about dual monitors [03:59] agh i hate autoname fill [03:59] sn00zer: Check boxes 1 2 and 4 [04:00] sn00zer: give it a password too [04:00] sn00zer, connect witha different user name. if you dont have one make one you can connect with [04:00] ubuntu rules... i just wish it weren't so finicky [04:00] can anyone help me make it less finicky?

[04:02] mattholimeau: it doesn't serve you well to be sarcastic [04:02] negative, tritium. i am looking at it right now [04:02] how can i make fsck run verbosely during the startup sequence? I have the ubuntu splash screen disabled [04:03] tritium: didn't mean to offend. i'm being honest as far as i see. [04:03] crwlr: I've used it before. [04:03] Under "Services" in Ubuntu what does enabling the Terminal Multiplexor (Screen) do vs just invoking screen in the command line? [04:03] tritium: well maybe after i do a fresh install and my xorg.conf isn't so bloated, then i will ask for your help [04:03] mattholimeau, for sound make sure alsa is selected as sound card. make sure you save sessions on logout. for compiz i have no clue as i dislike compiz. maybe your box is too slow. not sure though. for compiz helpo ask in #compiz-fusion [04:03] ericvw nothing :r [04:04] spee: Really?

[04:15] or waste your time with a memtest [04:16] CyberMad: likely you're using all that memory, but swapping out less. [04:16] ;) [04:16] cybermad: why don't you just do a bigger upgrade than that? you aren't going to see a big performance increase. heck, i have 2gb in my computer and it runs sweet...that's my desktop of course. my laptop is sluggish with ubuntu and windows and it only has 512 in it [04:16] wolferine, was just wondering i dotn really know, i thaught of .img as a disc image [04:16] what can I use to convert a .img file into an .avi ?

[04:23] wolferine: never tried it [04:23] mattholimeau, I think the trick is to install winxp first! just delete all the partitions you have, allocate like 25 gigs for winxp. install. complete the installation. put in the ubuntu cd and just follow the steps. at one time you will be asked how to partition your drive(s). just say "use the largest unpartitioned space" or something like that [04:23] astro76, is there a way to make it appear as the name Music [04:24] !memory [04:24] A quick FAQ on Memory Management: http://gentoo-wiki.com/FAQ_Linux_Memory_Management For Lubos Lunak's desktop memory usage comparison, see: http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/memory/desktop_benchmark.html [04:24] mattholimeau, then it just worked fine for me with accepting what the ubuntu installer told me it would do, however it looked at first as tho it would reformat my win-partition, but it didnt, dont be scared, just try :) [04:24] Chamunks: it will be available under /home/user/Music/ with that command [04:25] after running memtest 512M, then my computer got restart automatically, then i check memory by typing free on shell, well i got: free 346620 [04:25] Anybody know how to right click on a mac laptop? :D [04:25] Cpudan80: got another question, is it possible to play audio over vnc? i realize its slow and would be choppy, but is it possible?

[04:26] CyberMad: that's not unusual. [04:26] what do you think? what actually eat my memory hehe...?? or read the documentation you give will get an answer? [04:26] CyberMad: it gives the answer and we have several times also [04:26] CyberMad, run memtest yet ? [04:26] With ubuntu idyllic [04:26] CyberMad: I think everything is normal. You don't have a problem. [04:26] wolferine, yes, i run it with command: memtest 512M [04:27] because my memory is 512 MB [04:27] is it possible to have a local Domain Name for a ubuntu Apache server? [04:27] CyberMad, never run it from command line, as memory is being used, which could cause your results to not be true [04:27] wolferine: how is it done, i've ssh'ed into the remote host, then vncviewer localhost, browsed to my mp3 file and opened it, but there's no sound [04:27] to each their own [04:27] tritium, i ask the problem few minutes ago because i got weird problem... my free memory is only 8084 [04:27] lynx`: Right-click is done by tapping the bottom-left corner of the touchpad, and middle-click is done by tapping the bottom-right corner of the touchpad.

[04:28] wolferine, run from qw [04:28] wolferine, then run from where? :) [04:28] CyberMad: if you only have 512 MB, I'm sure most of it is being utilized. You're probably also swapping heavily as well. [04:28] hi all [04:29] wolferine: ok, i guess i should have clarified my situation, is it possible with vnc over ssh? [04:29] tritium, that's really weird... something eat my memory drop to 8084 from 512MB, i just run File Browser, XChat, Psi and Terminal [04:29] CyberMad: see my comments above [04:29] !ram | CyberMad this explains what is going on EXACTLY [04:29] CyberMad this explains what is going on EXACTLY: A quick FAQ on Memory Management: http://gentoo-wiki.com/FAQ_Linux_Memory_Management For Lubos Lunak's desktop memory usage comparison, see: http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/memory/desktop_benchmark.html [04:30] sn00zer, im not VNC expert, why not check their website ?

[05:00] Qrawl: ( cat ~/.xchat2/xchat.conf | grep gui_tray ) [05:00] Question: Is it possible to make sound output dependant on which Desk is the currently selected Desk, so that I could stream futurama on Workspace 1, simpsons on 2, and so on, simultaneously, and being able to switch between them dynamically with Ctrl Alt [Right], and having the sound switch just as the display does. [05:01] cubed: no, that's the one [05:01] cubed: there's an open-source one, but it's not really any good [05:01] nutbastard, if you use multiple sound cards, yes [05:01] nemilar: i thought that was gnash [05:01] Im guessing it's not easy to emulate extra sound cards...? [05:01] cubed: yeah, I think that's the name of it [05:01] but you would still need to make some software to interact with the media players & hardware [05:01] gnash? [05:01] for me the sound and full screen where mashed together and fullscreen wouldn't work [05:02] nemilar, gui_tray = 1 [05:02] i hate their flash player [05:02] cubed: but from what I hear it's nowhere near as good as the adobe version [05:02] nemilar, but it still exits the program when I click X [05:02] yeah the video didn't look as good, but my flash 9 has no sound [05:02] maybe its my usb sound device? [05:02] tritium, you still buzzin around here somewhere??? [05:02] Qrawl: huh, hmm. If you wanted to, you could delete your xchat.conf file and it should ask you again [05:02] my onboard sound is no good it has terrible feedback noise [05:02] nutbastard, you could look into how alsa deals with sounds [05:02] Qrawl: you'll have to close Xchat first, though [05:02] nemilar, ok ty [05:02] cubed, turn your microphone off [05:02] @grody alrighty [05:03] grody: its not even connected or on [05:03] but you can here me moving my mouse [05:03] is it one of these intel HD's onboard? [05:03] like this click click click [05:03] ahh, poor motherboard design then [05:03] well anyway the usb sound device works for everyother sound [05:03] i had me a mobo like that [05:04] yeah my asus l1n64 4x4 does have some minor problems like that [05:04] capacitors being too close to the CPU caused random crashes [05:04] except for running sli and 2 cpu's :0 [05:04] Anyone want to work on global_menu? it won't work for me, none of the menus appear.. its like its not taking the new debs [05:04] grody: do you happen to remember the exploding capacitor Dell motherboard era? [05:04] lol the laptop or desktop varient? [05:05] nemilar, ok that worked. ty [05:05] DOES anyone think it's feasable, given a not unreasonable amount of effort to accomplish it? (workspace independant sound output) [05:05] i heard a dell laptop nearly castrated some poor guy when the battery exploded === Q_Continuum is now known as Q_Contoxicated [05:05] grody: its the only dual socket amd board that wasn't a server board [05:05] grody: I worked for my school tech support for a while, every few weeks we'd get in a computer that wouldn't startup, and inevitably we'd open it up and a capacitor would be busted [05:05] * nickrud pushes his laptop a little lower [05:05] qrawl: glad to hear it, np [05:05] it has 4 pci express slots and 12 sata ports [05:05] but the sound on it doesn't work [05:05] so is this why my flash sound won't work or am i crazy [05:05] server boards are good for desktops too [05:06] depends if there is a driver for your hardware [05:06] thats always the crunch [05:06] its amd fx-74 [05:06] Does anyone happen to know of a map-making program for linux? [05:06] I want to compress ever directory within my pwd into a 7zip file with highest compression setting individually as files with the name *foldername*.7z How can I do this? [05:06] i went about a month w/o audio on my laptop because of lack of support :( [05:07] anyone else have flash 9 sound working? did u have to do anything special? [05:07] i have all other sound working [05:07] nemilar, kivio [05:07] grody: thanks, I'll have a look at it [05:07] !flash | cubed (there's some troubleshooting stuff here, ymmv) [05:07] cubed (there's some troubleshooting stuff here, ymmv): To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [05:07] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken.

[05:11] quick question .. if someone on ubuntu wants to use vorbis audio and theora video .. which packages do they need to install? [05:12] grody, I could never make it behave the way I wanted it [05:12] libtheora & libvorbis [05:12] I wish i was able to change my background in kde easier.

This username and group existed before but my girlfriend goobered up all sorts of things so I deleted the username, group, and home dir so I could start fresh. But now when I try to create a new user with the same name it won't create it. Am I missing something? [05:13] A135 === JDLafk is now known as JDLimbo [05:13] SR71-Blackbird, what's the problem [05:13] rekon: have you tried a different name? [05:14] rekon: make sure the username doesn't appear in any of /etc/passwd or /etc/group or /etc/shadow [05:14] rekon, i just want to map my wheel thing.. to control my headphone instead of the default main control for sound [05:14] LadyNikon yes, I can create other names [05:14] JDLimbo, sorry i just want to map my wheel thing.. to control my headphone instead of the default main control for sound [05:15] rekon: any error messages? [05:15] ah, erm.. I don't use an external mouse m'self [05:15] LadyNikon, No...I can fill out the information and click OK and it closes the window as if the user was created...But it dont show up in the list. [05:15] nickrud, let me check [05:15] though I don't imagine that would translate to a laptop-specific problem [05:15] what could cause firefox to insist that java is not installed, when sun-java6-plugin is infact installed? [05:16] nickrud: i was just about to suggest that heh [05:16] good call [05:16] JDLimbo i'm sure it isn't.. just wanted to see if someone has solved the problem... :) [05:16] nothing in about:plugins about java [05:16] can someone remind me of a tool to log system inputs? [05:16] although the sound in general on this thing is very much messed up. [05:16] Palintheus: have you installed j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin ? [05:17] nemilar: checking [05:17] Howdy [05:17] nickrud, Thanks alot! The name was still listed in the group file even though I deleted the group. Works great now. Thanks again :) [05:17] JDLimbo, i just haven't got the default mic to work nicely.. everything else is good [05:17] SR71-Blackbird: install-watch, install-log [05:17] CAN SUM1 TELL ME SOMETHING [05:17] IF I INSTALL ubuntu on my harddrive will it format everything [05:18] Thugaction: maybe [05:18] TheEpitome, no.. a graphical tool.. that takes mouse.. keyboard actions... [05:18] Thugcation: yes, boot to the livecd and check it out first [05:18] what if i just want to contain the WHOLE operating system to ONE folder? [05:18] Thugacation, it will unless you set up a separate partition [05:18] nemilar: couldn't find package j2rel1.4-mozilla-plugin [05:18] possible? [05:18] SR71-Blackbird: sounds like a keylogger, trying to make a trojan? [05:18] Palintheus: spelled it wrong [05:18] Thugacation: do you understand the concept of partioning? [05:18] i think i figured out the no sound flash 9, i didn't have unsupported updates enabled in third party sources [05:18] yeah i do [05:19] nemilar: d'oh [05:19] TheEpitome, no.. i'm just trying to see whatever my buttons map to... to use those values [05:19] but why cant i just install ubuntu to one folder [05:19] like e:\wubi [05:19] Thugacation: ubuntu needs its own partitions [05:19] hi [05:19] !offtopic [05:19] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [05:19] there's some distro of linux that can be installed like that, though, I think [05:19] damn [05:19] Does anyone here have any experience with installing feisty to a bootable USB drive via the pendrivelinux tutorial? I'm having issues... [05:19] partition magic always destroys my hard drive [05:19] and i need to buy new ones [05:19] thugacation: ok, well theres this program called grub which is the boot loader of linux [05:19] if you have a c:/ drive and an e:/ drive, those are separate partitions [05:19] youtube movies dont run in my browser. why? [05:20] Thugacation, what OS are you currently running? [05:20] !ask | baconbits|sleep [05:20] baconbits|sleep: 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. :-) [05:20] Windows XP Pro on the C:\ drive (200gb) === baconbits|sleep is now known as baconbits [05:20] then i have a E:\ drive which is 80gb [05:20] Xintruder, which browser.? are you using 64bit version? [05:20] with an old windows 98 os on it [05:20] but i dont really want to format it you know what im saying [05:20] is there an ubuntu games channel? [05:20] SR71-Blackbird: firefox, no, intel 32 [05:20] Thugacation: look for umsdos distribution on google and you will find a distro you are looking for [05:20] Thugacation: would you like to erase the entire 98 drive? [05:21] Thugacation, in that case, ubuntu can partition it when you go to set it up [05:21] not really there's alot of good memories on there [05:21] JD is right [05:21] 80 gb is more than enough space for ubuntu [05:21] Xintruder, try about:plugins to see if x-shockwave is mapped to flash [05:21] how much does the operating system itself take [05:21] in gb [05:21] you can use gparted while booted into the ubuntu livecd to resize the fat/ntfs partition on C: first [05:21] SR71-Blackbird: I dont understand [05:21] Thugacation: if you just want a bare install, 6GB is a good number [05:21] Thugacation: about 10gb maximum [05:22] JDLimbo, heh I like how most linux disto's have tiny footprints [05:22] nemilar: still no go [05:22] Xintruder, can you see application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash when you type about:plugins in firefox? [05:22] dsmalll on a floppy [05:22] I started out with a dual partition because I wasn't ready to give up windows, but I always went into the ubuntu side because it can read/write to the windows side [05:22] I followed the pendrivelinux tutorial to install feisty to a usb drive (persistent), but when I go to boot from the drive, I get "Could not find kernel image: linux" followed by a "Boot:" prompt. I have started over with the tutorial twice now, thinking perhaps I missed a step or made a typo, but I get the same result each time. The CD I am using has been checked for errors several times and comes up clean. Any suggestions? [05:22] whereas windows can't [05:22] Palintheus: sudo apt-cache install j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin [05:22] Palintheus: copy/paste doesn't work with that? [05:22] Thugacation: and that 10gb includes a 'lot' of apps, unlike windows [05:22] nemilar: nope [05:22] yeah but windows is a more powerful operating system [05:22] Palintheus: it's not finding the package?? [05:22] final word is, if you want linux on your computer, you're going to have to reformat a partition [05:22] nemilar: it installs, java doesn't work [05:22] nickrud is correct [05:22] JDLimbo, only reason I still have a Vista partition is because vidya games [05:23] nemilar: *still doesn't [05:23] Palintheus: have to ask, you restarted firefox? [05:23] ghost: yeah I would still have it but I don't have time for video games anymore [05:23] Thugacation, more powerful? [05:23] Thugacation: maybe power is in the eye of the beholder [05:23] baconbits, did you use FAT for the drive? [05:23] nemilar: yup [05:23] to me [05:23] baconbits: you need to check if your bios allows for booting from usb [05:23] i can write my own application in vb.net to do pretty much what i need [05:23] JDLimbo, i am still trying to play BG2 [05:23] and wine is to buggy [05:23] SR71-Blackbird: I dont know :( [05:23] Thugacation: I consider how much control the os puts in my hands as 'power', and linux beats windows hands down on that front [05:23] for now... [05:23] Palintheus: very strange, I donno [05:23] Thugacation you are so wrong. windows is a more end-user oriented operating system. The only reason why it is more widely used now is it that game makers dont make linux games [05:23] nemilar: thanks anyway [05:24] «bazhang» There is a USB option in the bios, and I set it to first priority. Would it matter which USB slot I plug it into? I have 6 on this laptop... [05:24] Palintheus: good luck, have you checked the ubuntuforums? [05:24] nemilar: still searching there [05:24] everytime I change the settings or turn on or off my wireless card in network manager my system freezes [05:24] tru [05:24] Thugacation: Your vb skills wont mean anything on linux. But if you spend a few days learning python you might find yourself in the same boat as before [05:24] TheEpitome, the thing about games is weird: If it was a copy protection issue then they can just drop that now. Ultra easy to copy/crack games in windows environment. [05:24] ubuntu is a nice compromise for me. I can use the gui when I want to be lazy, but when I feel like getting my hands dirty in the cli I can go that way [05:24] Xintruder, what happens when you go to youtube? do you get the video thing loading or it's something else? [05:24] I think its reliance on DirectX [05:24] anyone else have any ideas on why Java would not work with j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin and sun6-java-plugin [05:24] cant i use a windows emulator to use vb on linux [05:25] sure [05:25] Xintruder, i was expecting some problems with flash.. that's why i asked you to check the plugins [05:25] Thugacation, wine is the most popular windows emulating virtual machine [05:25] and i can install the microsoft .net framework on linux too [05:25] to make it run good like windows [05:25] baconbits: the usb option might be for a usb external hard drive--not sure if that covers usb pen drives in all cases--I had an older computer that could boot from the former but not the latter [05:25] Thugacation: I'm not sure [05:25] there's a program that emulates it [05:25] it can use native dll's if you have a dual boot set up actually. [05:25] iirc [05:25] I'm not big on wine [05:25] why not? [05:25] Palintheus: have you done sudo update-alternatives --config java ? [05:25] SR71-Blackbird: flash works ok. But i get a blackbox in youtube for the movie and nothing happens afterwards [05:25] Thugacation: you can always fire up a virtual machine and install windows in it [05:25] ghost: its not about copy protection, its about all the windows dlls being called by windows apps. whats what the wine project does. the DotGNU project is good for VB/C#/.NET stuff [05:25] nickrud: trying now [05:26] Thugacation, try mono... [05:26] mono is what I was looking for [05:26] SR71 has a good point [05:26] TheEpitome, DotGNU for those weird apps like say my cell phone sync software [05:26] this is not a channel for debating the pros and cons of windows vs linux [05:26] stuff like that? [05:26] aww mono, c#, vb, all that is garbage...Python is all anyone ever needs [05:26] «bazhang» This is a newer laptop...like less than 6 months old. Is there any particular place to check for compatibility? What is the difference between a USB drive and an external hard drive? My USB drive is 8gb LOL! [05:27] nickrud, not to mention its kind of a lopsided argument [05:27] why [05:27] Thugacation, it's so hard to get a game running.. I've never been able to get .NET working/// just for the heck of it /// let alone making it work better.. [05:27] is python as versatile as vb.net [05:27] baconbits, the usb controler part? [05:27] yeah true [05:27] but .net is the future of microsoft so they say [05:27] Thugacation: It's a very good language [05:27] ID makes most of their games compatible with linux [05:27] «ghost» I'm getting "Could not find kernel image: linux" when I try to boot feisty from my flash drive [05:27] Thugacation: they also said that Vista was the future of microsoft....... [05:27] heh [05:27] python that is [05:27] not to mention windows ME [05:27] im sure they just need to work some kinks out, heh [05:27] !offtopic | Thugacation Spenser309 jdh6403 nemilar nickrud [05:27] Thugacation Spenser309 jdh6403 nemilar nickrud: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [05:28] Thugacation, if you really can't live without .NET, put windows in a vm and put it there [05:28] baconbits: then no worries on that front; I've had mixed luck with those tutorials on www.pendrivelinux.com ; just a tiny error will bork the whole deal--took me three tries to get it right the first time [05:28] Thugaction: the future of microsoft should only matter to people who work there [05:28] :( nickrud [05:28] nickrud: hmm ran the command same result...java not working [05:28] nickrud, U MAD? [05:28] Thugacation: no, crazy not angry [05:28] Thugacation, I recommend rather to get mono working better.. [05:28] lol [05:28] Thugacation, USE MONO :P [05:28] ok [05:28] mono-project.com [05:29] Thugacation: its easier to figure out what to do once you have a working environment [05:29] Palintheus: are you on 64bit? [05:29] Thugacation: Opportunities abound [05:29] nickrud: nope [05:29] Spenser309, but i miss some of the MS easiness sometimes.. with mono.. [05:29] so, no, you can't install to a folder on a windows partition, but it barely takes up any space and can read/write to partitions formatted in NTFS. [05:30] JDLimbo is right [05:30] what about with wubi-installer? [05:30] «bazhang» man this is crazy, though. I've followed step by step three times total now, and I keep getting this error. Is it possible there's something wrong with my CD that the defect checker is missing? Is there any diagnostic I can do on the flash drive? [05:30] baconbits, is grub know the flashdrive is there / is it set up to boot from the flash drive? [05:30] better yet, does your motherboard support flashboot? [05:30] with 280 Gb on your hard drive, you'll barely notice ubuntu at all [05:31] Palintheus: dpkg -l '*java6*' | grep ^ii , make sure that -bin -jre -plugin are installed. [05:31] Thugacation: I think wubi does exactly what you say [05:31] Thugacation: I'd say just try it. [05:31] «ghost» i know it supports boot from USB, but Bazhang informed me that it might not support flash drives, only external HDD that are USB, but I have no clue how to determine if my mobo supports it. My bios is currently set to boot from USB as first priority...I don't think I installed grub anywhere (Windows is on my HDD in my laptop, I just want ubuntu on my flash drive for portable-ness) [05:31] that's good to know [05:32] Thugacation: but make sure and backup like anytime you install a new os [05:32] baconbits, try a flashdrive distro [05:32] like slacks for flash [05:32] nickrud: Palintheus was assisting me. I'm the one with the issue. trying that command [05:32] just to see if it wil lboot [05:32] then we can troubleshoot what the exact problem is [05:33] «ghost» ok, will do. I'll be back in a bit, if you'll still be here [05:33] anyone has any idea how I can change the default sound control ... u know what the laptop button has... to sth else.. (not the hardware one)... I have this wheel thing that only controls the main volume... not too useful when i need to control headphone.. [05:33] what is your notebook? [05:33] there are vendor specific programs for that [05:33] alright i got to go. I have to do my hw [05:33] (i Loooove thinkpads) [05:33] anyone know why windows wireless manager does nothing when I load a .inf file into it? [05:33] heh homework [05:34] nickrud: all 3 are installed [05:34] yea its painful [05:34] Oh a quick question: How can I scrub the partitions I made from the USB drive without getting back onto the liveCD? Windows is just loading the small (750MB) partition of the 8gb flash drive. [05:34] mirdin76: windows? as in windows xp? [05:34] http://81.235.216.106/test/2008-01-22-223323_1280x1024_scrot.png <-- xvid playback, http://81.235.216.106/test/2008-01-22-223839_1280x1024_scrot.png <-- dvd playbac [05:34] how come my videos look like that? [05:34] hmm [05:34] It looks terrible [05:34] I'm intsalling ubuntu on an old windows 98 computer. It currently connects to the internet via an external wirless reciever (made by 2wire). Will I still be able to install the recievers software once I install ubuntu? [05:34] Robdgreat: hm. and when you ran sudo update-alternatives --config java you made sure that the sun was selected? [05:35] ghost, Toshiba Satellite [05:35] right. 6 [05:35] Robdgreat: have you installed any other java plugins? [05:35] bazhang: yeah, ndiswrapper style [05:35] dude321: probly not [05:36] mirdin76: youre asking about how to install windows drivers for windows xp? on #ubuntu ? [05:36] dude321: maybe try booting up a live cd. [05:36] SR71-Blackbird, I believe there is an app for that... [05:36] nickrud: yeah, got gij, icedtea, 1.4, and 6 :| [05:37] see if there is a toshiba satilite wiki [05:37] i believe there is [05:37] if not some one should start one [05:37] bazhang, no, friend, I'm trying to understand my failure to load a windows wireless driver using ndiswrapper, or any other way for that matter [05:37] if i use the livecd first do i have to install anything [05:37] and i have full capabilities of the operation system [05:37] dude321: If it works, it will probably be done using ndiswrapper and the drivers provided for windows. [05:37] Sorry to ask again, but I think the first might have gotten overlooked: How can I scrub the partitions I made from the USB drive without getting back onto the liveCD? Windows is just loading the small (750MB) partition of the 8gb flash drive. [05:38] Robdgreat: ls /usr/lib/firefox/plugins , do you see an obvious java plugin listed? [05:38] Thugacation: yes [05:38] bazhang: but if I have any Windows XP questions I'll be sure to ask them here first as well [05:38] Is there anyone of you guys, had used xitrix mini-frame computers? [05:38] cool [05:38] Thugacation: It's preatty neato [05:39] nickrud: libjavaplugin.so [05:39] mirdin76: haha [05:39] anyone here have mouse problems playing quake wars? [05:39] Robdgreat: ok, ls -l /usr/lib/firefox/plugin/libjavaplugin.so , that will show you what it is linked to [05:39] Is that a no? LOL I guess I'll just get back on the livecd again since I know how to do it there. Just trying to cut some corners [05:39] bazhang: haha --ha [05:40] nickrud: /etc/alternatives/firefox-javaplugin.so [05:40] hello all. can anyone tell me how to find broken symbolic links? [05:40] Robdgreat: now ls -l /etc/alternatives/firefox-javaplugin.so , what does that link to? [05:41] nickrud: amazing. /usr/lib/gcj-4.2/libgcjwebplugin.so looks like the problem [05:42] Robdgreat: yes. That link should have been altered by the update-alternative. try sudo update-alternatives --config firefox-javaplugin.so [05:42] gimp is pretty good but is there something else, an alternative that is better? [05:42] gimp sux [05:43] I don't know how to use gimp [05:43] i suck [05:43] its decent, i know it would be difficult to write that much code [05:43] gimp is amazing. [05:43] all it needs is a UI overhaul. [05:43] nickrud: That did it. Thanks a ton! [05:43] i prefer corel draw over gimp [05:44] Robdgreat: yw. Odd that we had to go all the way around [05:44] nickrud: Wife won't use ubuntu without java. [05:44] I seem to have lost video. When I play any video files, all I get is sound and no video. Do I need to install "codecs" to play AVI/MPG files? [05:44] Robdgreat: the things we put with for love :) [05:44] so are there any open source alternatives [05:44] nickrud: amen [05:44] vwfanatic: did you have video previously? [05:44] java is OSS now isn't it? [05:44] yes [05:45] using compiz vwfanatic? [05:45] Don't think so [05:45] hmm [05:45] night_slither: inkscape [05:45] has anyone had any luck with dreamweaver and wine? [05:46] vwfanatic: try this: alt-f2 metacity --replace and then try the video again [05:46] thanks astro [05:46] everytime i startup my cvomputer it says this internal error failed to initialize HAL! [05:47] new gutsy install / encrypted on a raid-five / 'error loading os' [05:47] bazhang: unfortunately not [05:47] vwfanatic: using which media player? and what format file [05:47] all right guys i have a tough question to ask....Im okay with my way around a linux box, and can seem to build/put together things, like an asterisk box or a dns server or even a kickstart server...but seem to be hitting a professional snag when finding a job where they require a lot skill when it comes to scripting...i can vi around..but seems like im always falling short. any advice on interviewing better?? like [05:47] stuff will come up sed or awk..but my experiences have me rarely using them. [05:48] bazhang: AVI/MPG/WMV -- Movie Player [05:48] !ot | achandrashekar [05:48] achandrashekar: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [05:48] My friend has a thinkpad x61t, and is having wireless problems. I have the same computer and I'm not having problems. Both running Ubuntu Gutsy [05:48] vwfanatic: tried others? such as vlc? [05:48] how is this random chatter its very pertinent [05:48] will try it now. [05:48] I'm using iwl4965 driver, he's using ipw3945 [05:48] godmami - what's s/he doing that you're not? [05:49] ive contributed so much to this channel helping others...i just thought was kind of rude.. [05:49] achandrashekar: not the correct channel for that [05:49] goodmami i am using a t61 and i believe the cards are simmilar [05:49] anybody using wine [05:49] no problems here [05:49] achandrashekar: this channel is ubuntu support only, try the offtopic channel there's plenty in there to answer [05:49] oh, well there's your problem goodmami - tell them to install the 4965 [05:49] StrangeCharm: I'm not sure why his computer loaded the ipw driver, since we did practically the same install [05:49] achandrashekar: It's not an Ubuntu question for needing help running your OS, but rather a question on what to study to improve job hunting skills, which belongs in something else. The OT channel is perfect. [05:49] StrangeCharm: it is installed... he's using the 2.6.22-14 kernel. he can find it with locate [05:49] !anyone | night_slither [05:49] night_slither: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [05:50] so when when someone asks about a fglrx issue then its pertinent??? but when it comes to asking about how to write the code...its impertient? [05:50] good grief [05:50] !patience | achandrashekar [05:50] achandrashekar: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [05:50] StrangeCharm: how can he enable it? I told him to try modprobe -r ipw3945 and modprobe iwl4965 [05:50] achandrashekar: if you've been in here so much "helping" you'd know the rules... what's the problem with #ubuntu-offtopic ?? good grief indeed [05:50] after installing ati proprietary driver according to the ubuntu gutsy installation guide, it appears there's no window manager. No borders on any window of a program i start and it starts in the top left corner of the screen. Any ideas? [05:50] hi, I have 7.10. I tried upgrading to 8.04. But the process hangs right at the start. After downloading the upgrade tool [05:50] achandrashekar: do you have an issue relating to a ubuntu install? if so this is the place [05:50] everytime i startup my cvomputer it says this internal error failed to initialize HAL! [05:50] bazhang: black screen also [05:50] isn't there a gui utility? goodmami? [05:50] achandrashekar, I would go ahead and ask the question anyways. Rules are for Lawful characters [05:50] boodah, metacity --replace [05:51] Has anyone an idea of what to do? [05:51] achandrashekar: There's a big difference. If you came in saying what would help Ubuntu run better or something, sure. [05:51] you can't put handcuffs on a ghost... :o sorry i had to. [05:51] ghost: thanks for the help, but I think i've got the problem narrowed down between two identical systems [05:51] bazhang: yes Im looking to write a completely automated kickstart script that uses php as a methodlogy to allow me install various operting systems including ubuntu...can you aid? [05:51] Nubbie: I was looking for something to say but you topped me :( [05:51] ploom that worked, how did you know? and do i need to do anything to make it stick now? [05:51] StrangeCharm: does the regular wireless ui allow you to choose a driver? (going to check) [05:51] there is my question.. [05:51] Nubbie, yesh [05:51] above [05:51] lol [05:52] achandrashekar: try #linux [05:52] goodmami - i was thinking something like the restricted drivers manager [05:52] everytime i startup my cvomputer it says this internal error failed to initialize HAL! [05:52] hmm [05:52] when i try and run it, it says "your hardware does not need restricted drivers" [05:52] i'll ask him to try [05:52] achandrashekar: that's easy, all you need to do is include images of your operating systems (OEM installations!), and a simple script to format and expand the images to the disk. [05:53] well, are you sure the computers are identical? [05:53] I've been having a very strange problem lately..... It seems when I transfer/download large files via the internet or lan, all the sudden my mouse will get *extremely* laggy and my IP will drop all together. What could be causing t his? [05:53] well i do have a question here, why does Ubuntu 7.10 not saving my screen resolution and hangs for so long at the beginning of my boot while 6 did not [05:53] hmm..i just feel sleighted..by the fact that over 100 questions about how to install bcm43x stuff. and how to deal with ndiswrapper have been answered by me..but a simple help issue is treated with go look else where....hmm....okay whatever [05:53] StrangeCharm: we both have a Lenovo Thinkpad x61t. I have more ram and the Intel Turbo Memory [05:53] jay-oh-en: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75328 [05:53] achandrashekar: make sure your disk has fdisk and dd on it, maybe gzip and you're set. [05:53] StrangeCharm: actually, he might have the wlan card... lemme ask [05:54] achandrashekar, ugh, the bcm43xx [05:54] achandrashekar, that was the killing stroke that got me to stop using gentoo [05:54] AVI / MPG files -- no video - only sound -- any suggestions? [05:54] vlc [05:54] same thing [05:54] :( [05:54] goodmami - it may be possible that he actually has *that* wireless card, and that is *actually* sucks [05:54] herm [05:55] vwfanatic, i know this is stupid but restart x serv? [05:55] achandrashekar: you have the wrong attitude in here. maybe you should stick to helping people, because you obviously don't take advice as well as you give it. [05:55] some times [05:55] achandrashekar: It's not that we don't like you and the help you put in here, but there are certain things that don't belong in here because the chatter generates confusion when you have 5 people at once needing to ask a question. [05:55] ghost: are you referring to a complete reboot? or CTRL+ALT+BKSP ? I've done that latter [05:55] achandrashekar: You're asking for job hunting advice, not operating system advice as far as I can tell, so that's why we're being this way. [05:55] achandrashekar, I don't think your infraction was a bad one. and looking at your question, I would ask in ##linux (and get the same kinda responce probably) [05:55] Nubbie: thanks..you obviously know about attitude adjust...phsih.... [05:55] achandrashekar: Obviously. :p [05:56] vwfanatic, maybe a reboot. Some times it works [05:56] StrangeCharm: would it be possible that he could disable that WLAN card (if he has it) and use the built-in card? [05:56] StrangeCharm: the WLAN card was an add-on option [05:56] thanks, I'll be back if it doesn't. This install has PO'd me anyway, might just wipe it. [05:56] I need to write a script that can e-mail a file at a certain time of day, but I don't know where to start... [05:56] achandrashekar, your question may be better suited for ##linux [05:56] be back in a few [05:56] achandrashekar: if somebody tells you you're beyond the scope of the rules, take that advice and run with it. the more you sit in here and pout the less willing people will be to put up with it. that's all i'm saying. you're offtopic, take it where it belongs, in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:56] achandrashekar, not to be mean though [05:57] goodmami - wait, you think there are two wireless cards in the machine? [05:57] the WLAN card is an expansion... uses the PCI slot (same slot where i have the Turbo Memory) [05:57] Obviously OT doesn't belong in here. Just like you don't stick a cat in water unless you want to be scratched. [05:57] lol [05:57] not really no..it pertains to some very specific ubuntu related issues not prevalent in the forums.. very specific to custom installs not handled by tools such as Reconstructor [05:57] I've been having a very strange problem lately..... It seems when I transfer/download large files via the internet or lan, all the sudden my mouse will get *extremely* laggy and my IP will drop all together. What could be causing t his? I opened up system monitor during these *attacks* and there's the resources seem normal. Seems as if just my mouse and connection are affected [05:58] goodmami - what does he get on an iwconfig? [05:58] StrangeCharm: excuse me.. i might have meant WWAN [05:58] crazywulf_: Guess: Your hard drive is being used so much it's lagging your system beyond recognition. [05:58] hold on [05:58] crazywulf_: what program are you using for these transfers? [05:59] goodmami - that makes more sense, but should not interfere [05:59] carzywulf: you could run a top while the your are transfering the download and monitor system resources. this might give you insight into a resource issue [05:59] crazywulf try wget. [06:00] hello there === ajmorris|AFK is now known as ajmorris [06:00] hi [06:00] please can someone gimme a trick to solve the problem i having when i try to get on yahoo games? [06:01] Seveas: pwn'd that. [06:01] hello all.. i was hoping i'd get some help here.. i'm trying to boot of a RAID-0 (mdadm), i have a separate non-RAID boot partition, i get to the Ubuntu splash screen & the system sits for a few minutes then drops me to BusyBox, i did a cat /proc/mdstat and while all the correct modules were loaded, it seems mdadm hadn't done it's thing by the time the kernel tried to mount the root partition.. anyone else deal with this before? [06:01] StrangeCharm: http://pastebin.osuosl.org/5054 [06:01] pulicoti: do the yahoo games utilize shockwave? [06:01] the problem is with javas [06:01] that's from his iwconfig... it's only eth1. eth0 said "no wireless extensions" [06:01] pulicoto more infos [06:01] ok [06:02] goodmami - well, that supports the assertion that there is only one wlan card, whether or not there is a wwan card [06:02] it asks to upgrade the java [06:02] pulicoti, does java work, like at java.com? [06:02] hmm [06:02] in your opinion, whats the best iptables rules manager? firestarter, etc... [06:02] what's with ctrl+tab not switching virtual desktops in ubuntu's kde like it always has in every other kde? [06:02] when i try to do it from the sun java i get the package for suse only [06:02] hello [06:02] pulicoti: install sun-java6-plugin [06:02] StrangeCharm: so is it possible to get his machine to use the iwl driver instead of the ipw driver? [06:02] pulicoti: from the repos [06:02] i have a poblem with openoffice [06:02] i did but it didnt work [06:02] tommstein: you mean "alt" tab? [06:02] goodmami - i don't know [06:03] StrangeCharm: heh... ok [06:03] pulicoti: sudo update-alternatives --config firefox-javaplugin.so , choose sun [06:03] i id install sun_java plug in 6 [06:03] Nubbie, no, that changes between programs on the current desktop, ctrl+tab is supposed to switch between desktops [06:03] new gutsy install [06:03] encrypted on a raid-five [06:03] 'error loading os' [06:03] I've got a fresh install of gutsy, and I just set it up to dual boot with XP, and now gutsy isn't detecting any of the updates [06:04] What's the command in Terminal to display the contents of say... /etc/fstab ? [06:04] vwfanatic: cat /etc/fstab [06:04] And my video still isn't working [06:04] ls [06:04] tip of the day: disables network-manager :) [06:04] oh vat [06:04] cat [06:04] cat /etc/fstab [06:04] thanks nickrud [06:05] and falconer [06:05] vwfanatic: if you wish to edit that file, use nano. [06:05] thanx nickrud i will do it [06:05] hey guys i wanted to thank you all for your help and support, but i have to install a non-debian OS for my touchpad to work [06:05] :-( [06:05] sudoedit is a nice quick way to nano a file [06:05] I like nano!

[06:07] Okay, for some reason my AVI/MPG/WMV files will no longer display video. Tried VLC and a reboot. Running 7.10 Ubuntu. I did try to install some Video Editing/Capture, but they weren't what I needed, so I removed them. Since then, no video [06:07] How can I get two different X sessions running so that can run myth on one videocard/monitor combo and kde on another? [06:07] nickrud: No i'm on 7.10 ubuntu, it's a known issue (or so i've sorta read) [06:07] has anyone here gotten a mdadm RAID-0 as their root partition or know where there's a guide to setting it up? [06:08] anybody know how to force gutsy to update? even if it woln't detect any? [06:08] paulo: ive got one running now. [06:08] vwfanatic: sounds like when you uninstalled that video capture stuff you may have uninstalled other items important to your video viewing [06:08] Xabriel: what do you mean? [06:08] paulo: you will need to use the alt install cd, this can not be done using standard CD setup cd. [06:08] alguien habla spanish [06:08] Xabriel: if there's nothing to upgrade, there's nothing to upgrade [06:08] I'm thinking so also [06:08] !es [06:08] Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [06:08] but it's a fresh install, and i KNOW there's updates [06:08] paulo: unless of course, you are using hardware RAID [06:08] thank! [06:09] no worries :} [06:09] Xabriel: system->admin->software sources, make sure the first four are enabled and the cdrom is not [06:09] jshewey: i used the alt cd to install to a single drive, now i've gotten 3 more drives and i'm trying to make them into a raid-0 & move my system over [06:09] jshewey: eventually expanding back onto the initial drive [06:09] !firewall [06:09] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [06:10] paulo: So, you want to add the origional drive into the raid array, making for a total of four? [06:10] nickrud, lol, I forgot about that :P [06:10] nickrud, thanks [06:10] jshewey: i am gonna keep a regular non-raid boot partition on each drive for the system to boot off (i don't think you can have /boot on a raid-0 or 5 md device, correct?) [06:10] rafaelsoaresbr: you can search thru the bot with /msg uboto factoid [06:10] I have a tv capture card that uses the saa7134 modules. To get sound I have to run sox, but this uses 10% of my 1.4GHz processor. Is there a less cpu intensive solution? (Running Gutsy) [06:10] Xabriel: np [06:10] my gnome-panel fails to startup when i boot. does anyone know how to fix this? i'm running xubuntu 7.10 [06:11] jshewey: well, eventually, my problem right now is i have the 3 drives in a raid-0, my fstab and grub config all set up, but when i try to boot with md0 as my root partition the system stops for a few minutes, then drops to BusyBox [06:12] jshewey: if i cat /proc/mdstat it hasn't created any devices yet [06:12] kubuntu's top priority should be east asian language display (fonts) and input (input methods) [06:12] period. [06:12] or bill gates will still be alive [06:12] yao_ziyuan: issues with scim? [06:13] yao_ziyuan, you are talking it with ubuntu being defaulted to english [06:13] is there a log that would tell me why I get "Desktop effects could not be enabled" when I change Appearance Preferences to Extra? DRI and COMPOSITE is enable according to my Xorg.O.log and fglrxinfo looks good [06:13] jshewey: so i assume it means mdadm hasn't created /dev/md0 by the time the kernel is trying to mount the root partition.. that's just my guess tho', it's my first time setting this up [06:13] bazhang: chinese support should be installed as easily as in ubuntu -- just check "Complex script input" and the input methods are there [06:13] hi, i have a question about typing in terminal, how do i go up a line? [06:13] yao_ziyuan: I'm using kubuntu and no worries here [06:14] im able to delete the characters in one line but not the previous one [06:14] paulo: some things to try: mount your md device from a boot disk and chroot into it to see if you get a working system. If this works, then try manually assembling your md array from busybox and then chrooting into it and see if you can pull up a working system. If this works, everthing is probably in order, you just need to rebuild your initrd file [06:14] bazhang: what do you suggest about the video? [06:14] bazhang: i'm speaking from a commoner's perspecive [06:14] VvWolverinevV, terminal, once there is bash answering you, there is no way to delete previous rows [06:14] paulo: I'm guessing it's your initrd file that needs to be rebuilt. [06:14] ploom: no bash answer [06:14] lol, yao_ziyuan I can relate to that :) [06:15] VvWolverinevV, you should try nano as editor or vi [06:15] paulo: it probably does not have the modifed mdadm.conf and fstab files. [06:15] vwfanatic: eh. well probably need to reinstall any of the things that got uninstalled [06:15] yao_ziyuan: a commoner? same here :} [06:15] so bored here [06:15] paulo: you can double check by cating these files from busybox [06:15] hello my name is matt, and ive been gettin nothing but trouble trying to get ubuntu installed on my laptop,im not a newb at this, actually its a breeze on my other computer [06:15] hi all [06:15] lancer: the wiki could use some help ;) [06:15] yao_ziyuan, who is commoner? [06:16] and i don't want to read any "quickstart guide" [06:16] ploom: commoner = general user [06:16] yao_ziyuan, ubuntu users group is like a commune [06:16] StrangeCharm: yeah well no luck on the iwl4965 front. thanks for all your help though [06:16] ploom: commoner = average joe [06:16] mattetch: what issues in particular? [06:16] true but waaaaay offtopci [06:16] yao_ziyuan, you either consider yourself blonging here and do things in ubuntu way or make your own operating system [06:16] i have both a copy of x32 and x64, both crash after install with no graphics [06:16] Hi. Gnome-panel fails to startup on a new installation of Gutsy. Is there a way to fix this? I had the same problem with Fiesty... [06:16] jshewey: okay, before i reboot to try that let me be sure.. i tried to do mdadm --auto-detect from BusyBox and it said "CREATE user root not found".. do you mean to mount md from a LiveCD or from BusyBox.. also as far as rebuilding initrd, does update-initramfs do that or do i need to do something else too? [06:17] wait, [06:17] yao_ziyuan, by the way - ubuntu way is almost the same as debian way [06:17] i'm speaking in the wrong channel [06:17] i'm talking about kubuntu [06:17] mattetch: what video chip do you have? lspci | grep -i vga will tell you if you're not exactly sure [06:17] offtopic there too yao_ziyuan [06:17] intergrated nvidia [06:17] ubuntu's east asian language display and input is perfect - except that some chinese characters like "you" have a different font in gedit [06:18] mattetch: exactly which? Matters [06:18] for ubuntu, === lancer is now known as rampeltilsken [06:18] paulo: update-initramfs will update this. [06:18] ubuntu's top priority should be integrating more pretty gtk2 themes [06:18] i sec [06:18] :{ [06:18] ubuntu's default theme is ok, [06:18] Can a live CD do a repair install? is there such thing? [06:18] !ru [06:18] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [06:18] but people need more pretty themes to switch between [06:18] yao_ziyuan, then this is not ubuntu your're actually talking, but GTK toolkit in general [06:18] julz➲ No [06:18] #ubuntu-ru [06:19] ploom: i'm talking about integrating more pretty gtk2 themes from gnome-look.org [06:19] paulo: you need to try assembling your RAID array from a live CD. then you need to mount proc and tempfs. then chroot to the mounted array. [06:19] nvidia geforce go 6150 [06:19] julz➲ but you use live cd to repair ubuntu. [06:19] kahrytan: k thanks, guess illhave to go the hard way lol === lancer is now known as rampeltilsken [06:19] ploom: those most downloaded or highest rated, like Aurora and Nimbus [06:19] julz➲ what's wrong with the install? [06:19] ok [06:19] paulo: if this works, you have manually booted your system. if this does not you have problems with your drives. [06:20] yao_ziyuan, in case you have bugs to report, then go for it! [06:20] wah....how to become expert in ubuntu [06:20] otherwise, ubuntu is universally usable now [06:20] kahrytan: haha thats what i mean t lol. the gnome palen never starts up, i have just got a desktop. same problem i had on fiesty followed me to gutsy. thankyou :) [06:20] hello my name is matt, and ive been gettin nothing but trouble trying to get ubuntu installed on my laptop,im not a newb at this, actually its a breeze on my other computer [06:20] nvidia geforce go 6150 [06:20] paulo: if you can do this, then repeat the process from busybox. If it works with busybox, you know that it is simply a file configuration problem. If it does not (perhaps you recieve a segfault or something) then you know it is a problem with the busybox environment.

[07:06] StrangeCharm - Now, does the irony lie in the implications that a user with my nic would be able to resolve such an issue, or that my nic is serial-number-like? [07:06] Schedel: Kaudiocreator hmm. I'm not sure. Here ill install it really quick and see if I can help [07:06] nickrud, oh. no. sorry. maybe i didn't make myself clear. i can't get OUT to the world (ftp/http/wgt/apt-get/etc) FROM the box now that ebox is installed. And stopping the service doesn't help either. [07:06] hello - is it possible to install ubuntu remotely over some vnc session like you can with centos? [07:06] Griz64: I saw that, and I am a networking putz. [07:06] Usage: java [-options] class [args...] [07:06] (to execute a class) [07:06] or java [-options] -jar jarfile [args...] [07:06] (to execute a jar file) [07:06] where options include: [07:06] -d32 use a 32-bit data model if available [07:06] pulicoti: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:07] c0mp13371331337_, and it's ebox not vbox [07:07] c0mp13371331337_: especially given the *triple* suffix. it's like herr doktor doktor doktor jones not knowing anything about archeology [07:07] would be nice. but there is no menu where i can switch the bit rate. so maybe change the rate of the encoder permanently? [07:07] Spenser309: would be nice. but there is no menu where i can switch the bit rate. so maybe change the rate of the encoder permanently? [07:07] Schedel: I'm really no sure im installing it now [07:07] misc--: I would think that you should be able to boot the live CD, enable vns server, then do the resat of the install remotely... is that what you mean? [07:08] *vnc server [07:08] Spenser309: LAME is the encoder. and i want always 128 bit. but that i not default. [07:08] zcat[1]: yeah that's right. Except it does not have vnc installed by default. I tried to apt-get it but it fails and crashes (insuficient memory) [07:08] sorry [07:09] it doesn't? system > preferences > remote desktop? [07:09] pasted too much [07:09] Schedel: did you see this line. lame --preset standard --tt %{title} --ta %{artist} --tl %{albumtitle} --ty %{year} --tn %{number} --tg %{genre} %f %o [07:09] I'd have to bnoot it to check.. and I don't have a free machine handy [07:09] StrangeCharm - Guilty, as charged! Perhaps her doktor doktor doktor jones would be a more appropriate nic, although I have a feeling I'd get flamed more than I do now for such a long nic..... [07:10] Griz4: can you pastebin your route -n and ifconfig results? [07:10] i think the part you need to change has to do with --preset standard [07:10] word [07:10] how do i check to see what kind of modem i have [07:10] zcat[1]: oh wow... I didn't know. Actually I'm trying to guide someone over the phone with it... I'll get him to try that [07:10] Griz64: can you pastebin your route -n and ifconfig results? [07:10] misc--: won't help much if he's behind NAT though! [07:10] krub, no. [07:10] c0mp13371331337_: the trick is that if people giggle at your nick, they probably won't ban you [07:10] krub, there is no access to the net, therefore it can't go out to pastebin or anywhere else. [07:11] Griz64 you are chatting now with me right? so you have access to the net [07:11] sorry for the flood [07:11] zcat[1]: that's ok, have got that side of it taken care of [07:11] Spenser309: no did not see that line. [07:11] krub, different machine. [07:11] Griz64: so? you wanted help, you must do your part [07:12] anyone no what kind of modem is in a pavillion dv6646us notebook [07:12] krub, the route -n & ifconfig are right for this network. [07:12] khaotik: i will guess, Hayes compatible [07:12] its in settings>configure kaudiocreator>Encoder> select MP3> configure [07:12] Spenser309: maybe there is a problem cause i am using kaudiocreator on a gnome desktop? [07:12] khatotik: doesn't it say on the FCC type sticker on the bottom? [07:12] krub, they are pointing to the 192.168.1.x network, and dns IS working. [07:12] StrangeCharm - Your wisdom is exceeded only by your.... strange charm... and I salute you, sir or madam. [07:12] krub, no packets flowing OUT though. [07:12] Griz64: if you are going to make me guess, i can not assist you [07:13] Spenser309: oh yes. [07:13] anyway thanx to everyone who tried to help me , just in case you will able to check the bug, keep me in consideration for the next time [07:13] :) [07:13] and :( for the bloody java [07:13] c0mp13371331337_: on the internet / anonymised in chat rooms / there is no gender [07:13] is there a command which I can view the root(username) ? [07:13] Spenser309: no i need to find out the right command. [07:14] napster cat /etc/passwd and see who the uid of 0 [07:14] napster: most likely root [07:14] at the terminal ? [07:14] bye everyone [07:14] yes [07:15] !кг [07:15] ok, brb krub I'll try it in the other workstation. Thank you so much [07:15] !ru [07:15] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [07:15] бля [07:15] krub, if i COULD get the data to you, i SWEAR i would. i'm trying, but all is failing. [07:16] Spenser309: very kind from you that you especially installed the program. :-) respect [07:16] I'm trying to burn mp3s with brasero... but it complains that the song can't be handled by gstreamer. I just installed the fluendo codec, but brasero still won't do it! [07:17] hi. i'm abt to DL an "64-bit PC (AMD64) server install CD". goal is to install install on LVM & RAID partitions. Do I instead need the "64-bit PC (AMD64) alternate install CD"? Instructions @ "http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs/gutsy/" are unclear to me .... [07:17] Griz64: you can manually retype it [07:17] !mp3 [07:17] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [07:17] but if that is too hard , oh well [07:17] scrash08: I'd go for alternate if you want to do lvm or raid or disk encryption... [07:18] bazhang, I tried looking at the RestrictedFormats page [07:18] krub, may i PM this to you? or would you prefer pastebin. [07:18] zcat[1]: hi. aha. so, the normal server install does not allow/enable raid/lvm @ install? [07:18] is there any way i can create a local repos. ? from ubuntu feisty ? [07:18] do I need to install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly to get brasero to burn mp3s? [07:18] redwyrm: I'm using kubuntu and that requires lame; not sure if ubuntu (gnome is the same) [07:19] Griz64: am not registered, so go ahead and try to pm, but am not sure I will get it [07:19] oh.. hang on.. server install? yeah.. I think server install does the lvm/raid stuff.. it ought to :) [07:19] bazhang, ok, thanks [07:19] krub, then i'll just pastebin. [07:19] #ubuntu-ru [07:19] krub: I typed cat etc/password at the terminal, but won't work. [07:19] cat /etc/ [07:19] napster /etc/passwd [07:19] krub: I know how to change the root password, but my problem is, I don't know what's the username. [07:20] I do desktop installs on all our servers, so that if there's ever a problem I gan bring up a GUI and use firefox / xchat to get help.. [07:20] napster it is root, [07:20] so you mean, it's always default as root? [07:20] hai, i created a partition & copied the filesystem from live cd , now i want to update the grub HOWTO [07:20] .. but I change the kernel so a server one :) [07:20] zcat[1], that's what a laptop is for, or irssi [07:21] bazhang, well, I already have lame installed... what I'm trying right now is installing the -ffmpeg, -ugly, and -ugly-multiverse gstreamer plugin packages [07:21] so if it 'root' how can I login as root? [07:21] napster: did you do what I asked? cat /etc/passwd [07:21] yeah, I ded, but nothings happen [07:21] *did [07:21] how do i get involved with developing something useful [07:21] napster, uh, you don't, you sudo su - or sudo bash [07:21] can anyone tell me that? [07:21] zcat[1]: heh. yeah, it *ought* to ... but those instructions are confusing. 'says' that the "alternate installl ... provides for the following situations ... LVM and/or RAID partitioning". But is does NOT say that the server.iso does not. Just not clear as to why they call it out ... and trying to get the right DL started befort hittin' the hay :-) [07:21] napster on a terminal nothing happened after you typed those commands? [07:21] nope, I just follow what you guys tell [07:22] yeah, I only typed what you said, krub [07:22] how to update the grub after copying the filesystem from live cd [07:22] napster exactly what did you type? [07:22] redwyrm: you really should check out ubuntuforums, or simply wait for daytime in this channel when all the gurus are here [07:22] I figure gdm in the background is only using a few hundred K of swpa anyhow.. gdm not started at all is only using a tiny slice of diskspace.. not like the old days when you wanted every free byte of ram and diskspace you could get ... [07:22] scrash08: Do I need to use sudo? [07:23] napster, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [07:23] bazhang, ok, thanks... I'm impatient though :( [07:23] napster: huh? [07:23] earlmred: I'll try that [07:23] napster willy nilly having root access is not recommended lest you can handle re-install many times.. hehe [07:23] we are having major issues with WPA encrypted networks.... anyone any ideas? [07:23] how to update the grub after copying the filesystem from live cd , i tried grub-install command too [07:24] redwyrm: you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras and win32codecs and the rest? [07:24] ganesh: sudo update-grub [07:24] zcat[1]: ah. so, custom kernel builds -- which i'll be doing -- require the server.iso? or, can minimal-install from whatever .iso + apt-get get me to where i want? [07:24] ganesh: why the need to update grub? what did you do? [07:24] ganesh: i think [07:24] bazhang, xubuntu-restricted-extras [07:24] scrash08: you need to build your own kernels? [07:24] scrash08: custom kernel builds just require the linux headers and source [07:24] zcat[1]: yup. [07:24] anyone? [07:25] zetheroo: Anyone what? [07:25] jackdaw, i copied the filesystem from live cd this need to update the grub from live cd [07:25] redwyrm: I think xubuntu has their own channel as well [07:25] ganesh: i'm sorry did you install grub first? Did you do the actual live install? [07:25] we are having major issues with WPA encrypted networks.... anyone any ideas? [07:25] krub, take a peak at http://rafb.net/p/sqkVBh40.html [07:25] jackdaw: yup. don't need all the extra garbage then ... /me looks for a minimal netinstall iso .... nada? [07:25] ganesh: because i don't think just copying the filesystem will work, you'd need to chroot to the physical disk and thins [07:25] bazhang, I've tried them in the past, but they aren't nearly as active :/ [07:25] scrash08: afaik the server install is just 'server' kernel (no pre-emp patches) and no GUI (gdm/gnome/desktop software).. [07:25] zetheroo: What does "Major Issues" mean? [07:25] jackdaw, then only whenever i boots the menu.lst will come in proper way [07:26] krub, i'm trying to finger out a way to get the iptables -L to you [07:26] how do I open the gnome advanced screenshot options that let me select extra options, I know i've seen ti somewhere before [07:26] zcat[1]: ok. pre-emp? [07:26] scrash08: i'd suggest the alternate install or the server install, still unless you're really stuck, it's only 1cd of junk, not a huge image... [07:26] scrash08: if you apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and a regular kernel, you have what the desktop CD installs [07:27] ganesh: so you get grub to actually show the menu? but then it doesn't boot from there/ [07:27] jackdaw, through chroot i ran the command update grub , the menu.st updated but there is no any info about other partition [07:27] ArthurArchnix: just random connectivity and then loss of connection [07:27] kernel pre-emption, what makes a desktop system more responsive.. not wanted on a server though [07:27] ganesh: so you chrooted from the cd's / to the actual / on say (hd0) or whatever? [07:27] zetheroo: And by WPA issues, I take it that this behaviour doesn't occur on WEP or non-encrypted networks? [07:27] How do i bring up the screenshot dialog that prompts for some options before capturing an image? [07:27] under gnome === |_|_|YT is now known as |_|_|YT_c_liveCD [07:28] jackdaw, whenever i boots the menu.st is previous one , it is not from the newly created partition [07:28] ArthurArchnix: correct [07:28] ganesh: sorry im kinda shacky on how all this works, i've not had to deal with that kind of problem since gentoo. was there a specific reason why you didn't do the 'normal' install method? [07:28] grekkos, look in your program menu lol [07:28] jackdaw: fair enuf ... i'm just lazy and don't wanna re-DL if i don't have to ;-) [07:28] zcat[1] got it. [07:28] either way, i guess i'll DL the alternate install, which I know (?) has the LVM/RAID stuff .... I assume there *is* a custom package selector in the ubuntu installer? [07:28] ganesh: ah did you set the partition to boot? [07:28] r3r3: is there another program? I remember a different interface... [07:28] zcat[1]: that worked :) Thanks for that [07:28] zetheroo: Are you being prompted for your WPA password frequently, or are you using some sort of a keyfile to access the network? [07:28] it s take a screenshot [07:29] scrash08: you should get enough packages to launch and then you just apt-get whatever you want [07:29] jackdaw, i set the boot flag too [07:29] that's the only one the comes with ubuntu [07:29] jackdaw: yup. [07:29] jackdaw, then also the menu.lst is not updated properly [07:29] maybe the one i was thinking of is in KDE or came with another distro, r3r3. Thanks for the help though [07:29] scrash08: download the DVD iso, you get all three installs :) [07:29] ganesh: hmph, well update-grub has always fixed that for me, but i've never had to move across partitions, [07:29] probably grekkos [07:30] ganesh: i can give you the usual, perhaps you should try a fresh install crap, but that's no help is it. perhaps someone else is smarter than me [07:30] ArthurArchnix: every time an attempt is made to connect I am prompted for the password..... sometimes it works ad sometimes not [07:30] zcat[1]: heh. i'd like it to be done when i wake up! ;-p [07:30] ganesh: i'd suggest you have a look at some tutorials about setting up a fresh linux install (without using any kind of smart system) [07:30] jackdaw, normal installation works fine , i want to do this method [07:30] zetheroo: Is it the same user affected? All users? Some not others? [07:30] ganesh: the gentoo install guide had a lot of helpfull stuff about how to make grub and all that work i recall, but there might be other ways [07:31] anyhow, my 'desktop server' is hosting a dozen games, mumble, and a couple of websites.. and ticking along with plenty of ram and CPU to spare.. :) [07:31] what's mumble? [07:31] jackdaw, can ypu give me the link [07:31] .. so no need to get too fussy I guess.. [07:31] ganesh: sure hold on [07:31] jackdaw, k [07:31] OSS alternative to teamspeak [07:31] ArthurArchnix: one out of 4 are not effected...d [07:32] oh.. and an asterisk server too .. [07:32] Griz64: ok, the box ip is 192.168.1.118 ? thats for the box not able to access the internet? [07:32] zetheroo: All on the same laptop though? [07:32] ah! found a netinstall mini.iso (fyi, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD). [07:32] now why is that not on every mirror? [07:32] what is the biggest p2p network? edonkey? [07:33] bittorrent? [07:33] ArthurArchnix: no, all seperate [07:33] arjuna: try isohunt and piratebay for torrent seeds [07:33] !piracy | jackdaw [07:33] jackdaw: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [07:34] torrent don't have the files i want [07:34] arjuna see above [07:34] bah! that wasn't piracy info [07:34] zetheroo: So, you have four laptops. All of them have ubuntu 7.1. And on three of them, you can't establish a wireless connection when WPA is enabled in your router. Is that a fair summary? [07:34] there are many legitimate things shared on isohunt [07:34] ArthurArchnix: close enough [07:35] harsh.. I torrent all my linux dvd iso downloads.. not piracy! [07:36] zetheroo: I ask because I'm trying to figure out where to start looking for the root of the problem. If that describes your situation, then you could have a configuration error (but to have a config error in three laptops seems odd), or you could have a router problem (which, if I've described the situation properly seems more likely). [07:36] www.linuxtracker.org === Q_Contoxicated is now known as Q_Continuum [07:36] for all of your legitimate linux iso needs [07:36] krub, I appreciate your offer to assist, but I've been reading on google and others and it seems that this happens once in a while. So far, even the geeks are giving up and just re-installing. Seeing how 'they' feel that way, I already started the install again. It's in vmware, so the only 'time' involved is the first dist-upgrade (u-server_7.10) Thank You, though! [07:37] true, generally I use the torrent link at ubuntu.com, not isohunt.. [07:37] ArthurArchnix: well there are also about 8 WIndows PC's running on the woreless connection, and they are working fine [07:38] not arguing about legitimacy of bit torrent protocol--but tpb? cmon [07:38] yeah, ratio of legit content on tpb is probably pretty low.. [07:39] haha [07:39] hmmm !offtopic... [07:39] 1111111 [07:39] waaay offtopic [07:39] zetheroo: So you have 12 computers with wireless sharing the one router, using WPA encryption, and only three of the four Ubuntu laptops can't connect. Hm... but when you turn off encryption all of them can connect. Impressive problem.... [07:39] ArthurArchnix: you bet... ha [07:41] Griz64: okay good luck [07:42] what was the name of the mediaplayer in xubuntu? === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFK [07:42] I can't figure out how to get linux to connect with WEP or WPA .. The router wants a bunch of hey, Linux wants a password. wth? [07:42] zetheroo: I still might start by ruling out router issues. I'd reset, setup WPA, connect the first laptop having trouble. Assuming it works, clone the mac, leave it connected, add the second having issues, and so on. If, after resetting, and setting up WPA and trying to connect the three laptops as least we'll have confirmed that these three laptops are having WPA issues. At that point I'd look at purging them of their WPA configs and rein [07:42] *hex [07:43] krub, Thank You! Again. I've ran debian for a decade before moving and wasn't the least bit intimidated in building this server and trying ebox, but 'this' smacked me bad! :-( [07:43] zcat[1]: do you have the nm-applet installed? [07:43] krub, , i created a partition & copied the filesystem from live cd , now i want to update the grub HOWTO [07:44] krub, without updating the grub i cant boot from my own created partition [07:44] I have wifi-radar now I think.. I might take another look at it.. I've leaft my wifi open for the last two years and it's never been a problem, so no rush to close it. [07:44] zetheroo: Or you can just start by posting the output of lshw to pastebin, and we'll have a look at the wireless cards in these three laptops. Hopefuly they're all the same, so that one fix, if found, fixes them all. You use DHCP on the router? [07:45] zetheroo: And what's the make and model of your router? [07:45] zcat[1]: ah wifi-radar; never got that going myself--and leaving my wireless open is not an option around here--greedy neighbors :{ [07:45] ArthurArchnix: the thing is that there are actually 3 routers [07:45] zetheroo: .... anymore surprises? [07:46] ArthurArchnix: well... one Router (DI-524) and two Netgear Access Points relaying the wireless to other parts of the building [07:46] hehe [07:46] more surprises [07:46] I have a hub, but I don't know how to config my I.P address. My three computers(I tested for LAN) has thesame I.P adresses, how can I change their I.P so my computers can communicate to each one. [07:46] zetheroo: Lemme guess. The three affected laptops can't connect to any of the three wireless routers, thus ruling out the routers as a possible cause of the problem. [07:47] ganesh: am not sure by merely copying a liveCD files or iso into a partition and then updating grub will make it boot from the subject partition [07:47] ArthurArchnix: a day ago they were all working... and now 3 of them are having issues [07:48] but if do it manuall it is working fine [07:48] zetheroo: Any updates on those three since yesterday? [07:48] this irsii is difficult for me..back to xchat [07:48] krub, but if do it manuall it is working fine [07:48] ArthurArchnix: geez... I do not think so..... I am pretty sure not [07:48] I have a hub, but I don't know how to config my I.P address. My three computers(I tested for LAN) has thesame I.P adresses, how can I change their I.P so my computers can communicate to each one. [07:48] ganesh what do you mean do it manually? [07:49] ganesh brb, i have to change to another client [07:49] hiiiiiiiiiiiiii [07:49] krub, if i manually make it through grub command it is working [07:50] napster, You need to set the hub to be a dhcp server and the comps need to get their ip from the hub... [07:50] what does "connection reset by peer" mean? [07:50] ArthurArchnix: is it possible that network-manager is having a hard time making the transition from one Access Point to another automatically? [07:50] AndrewM: the connection timed out [07:50] i think [07:50] thankyou [07:50] zetheroo: Well... I gotta be honest. You're situation is a bit too complicated for me. My technique usually involves simplifying to locate the source of the problem. If it were me, I'd disconnect the netgear AP's and all the other computers. Try connecting the three to the bare router. Turn WPA on and repeat. Add computers and components back onto the network one at a time until I could replicate the problem. [07:50] krub, ok [07:51] napster: how are you finding out each computer's IP address? [07:51] zetheroo: Sure... it's possible. But you could discover if that was the problem by disconnecting the APs and trying to connect to the router. No? [07:52] ganesh how are you doing this manually? can you elaborate? [07:53] napster, Try this out... http://www.debianadmin.com/ubuntu-networking-for-basic-and-advanced-users.html [07:53] bazhang, well, ds in #gstreamer told me how to fix it... I needed to install gstreamer0.10-plugins-good [07:53] * zcat[1] suspects napster is going to whatismyip.com from each of his computers ... [07:53] ArthurArchnix: well.......... I have a gut feeling that something is up with the Access Points...... and the transition being made from one to the other [07:54] zetheroo: That would be my guess. Have you rebooted the three devices? [07:55] ArthurArchnix: they have been rebooted numerous times [07:55] zetheroo: Firmware updates avaiable? [07:55] Hi, I'm using Xgl right now and I want to use a media centre called Elisa. I've figured out how to do it redirecting Elisa to start on X.org by using the "DISPLAY=:0" command before running Elisa. However, the program starts in the upper-left corner of the screen and is unmovable. I know it works because I can see the animations working. How do I make it fullscreen or move it? Is there a special extra command? Sorry for the lengthin [07:55] ArthurArchnix: thing is that I am the Linux guy around here,,, and I am getting such a mouthful from the Windows Techs [07:55] I have a d-link 524, so I know there's an update for that in the last few months. [07:55] can somebody help me with this? Every time I press shutdown button in the top right hand corner my computer freezes but i can still move the mouse its really annoying like really bad so can anybody help me with this [07:56] ArthurArchnix: hey..

[08:41] hi, i am running ubuntu on PCI (not PCI-E) nvidia card, and bitmap output to display is slow. I am thinking ubuntu clocks down PCI -- how would i find out what is the current clock settings of the PCI (not from BIOS but from running system)? [08:41] glick: yes [08:41] ppibburr, what are you running and whats the experience? [08:41] hi folks. what's up on the flash front for ubuntu?

[08:47] trans, is your network ridiculously slow? [08:47] genewitch: nope 100/100 [08:48] I was wireless B streaming avi files... [08:48] how can ubuntu help me in falconing hmmmm [08:48] hi, is there a console program which works as frontend on mencoder? I want to create a quality DVD rip (to avi + srt file) [08:48] does xmms and so on have a problem streaming through samba? [08:49] transAm: I think so, I experienced problems with that as well [08:50] does dells website show special offers depending on what ip your accessing their website from? [08:50] TransAm, why not use nfs? [08:50] bidossessi: nfs? [08:51] TransAm, are you sharing files acrross different OSes? [08:51] but nfs isn't compatible with Windows I guess? [08:51] have a old mandrake server ithink.. a 300mhz or something ... and i use ubuntu on my desktopcomputer [08:52] a mandrake server should dedfinitely be able o export a filesystem through nfs [08:52] the reason that i use smb i becourse everyone else around me keep using windows [08:53] i recommend using nfs for linux clients, and smb for windows clients [08:53] TransAm, do you have problem accessing/using your shares through windows? [08:53] can try that.. i was just curious if there is a package that needs to be installed or something [08:54] bidossessi: nope noproblem there ... in windows there is no streaming problem [08:54] smb sharing is meant to be a linux=>windows thing, not linux=>linux, though it can work it you really try [08:54] the streaming problem is XMMS specific, I have th esame problem [08:54] HELLOALL [08:55] oops sorry about the caps [08:55] then if your source runs ubuntu/linux, use nfs to share to another ubuntu/linux client. [08:56] anyone know where I can get a dvd player that actually plays dvd's? Movie player wont play any of my dvds [08:56] you'd be amazed at how quick and easy it is [08:56] bidossessi: sorry, it now strangely works with "movie player" ... its only XMMS that is unable to stream [08:56] bidossessi: yes will try that [08:56] could somebody explain how a router can answer dhcp requests with 169.254.8.x/16 IPs when the routers dhcp pool was configured with 192.168.1.x/24 ips? [08:57] anon_, dvd playback is probably restricted. see restricted formats in the ubuntu faq, or something [08:57] kk thnx [08:57] bidossessi: Thank you =) [08:58] TransAm, you have to mount the smb share to a location that xmms can find. if you can't find your smb share using, like, mc, than chnces are xmms won't find it either. [08:58] anon: or install VLC media player, it plays every video format out of the box [08:58] has anybody ever seen their system grab the IP 169.254.8.x/16 before? [08:59] Hey yall, what is another good bmx movie other than RAD? :) [08:59] heartsblood, yeah. means dhcp client is failing to get an adress [09:00] Hi I want to execute commands without having to type root password all the time. Also, I have tried logging in with root, but then when I try execute a command as user Joe, it asks me for Joe's password - I'd like to avoid having to type that in too. It's for a command that I keep executing constantly and retyping the password every 5 minutes is annoying. [09:00] g[r]eek: sudo -s ? [09:00] bidossessi: not anymore, I manually sent a dhcp request and I got a proper IP. I just can't figure out how it ended up with such an odd IP. [09:00] g[r]eek, can't you use a cron job, if you need to retype it ? [09:01] bidossessi: sorry I read that wrong [09:01] bidossessi: No it's not that kind [09:01] heartsblood, there's a timeout on a dhcp request [09:01] seppe: You mean sudo -S? [09:01] sudo -i [09:02] if you still don't have an address after the timeout, then it allocates you one of those non-routable one [09:02] Bidossessi: yes I understand that, but I've never seen THAT IP before. Is 169.254.8.37/16 some sort of default? And if so why would a subnetted IP be a default. [09:03] g[r]eek: no, I use "sudo -s" [09:03] Bidossessi: you'll have to forgive my ignorance but I get a little paranoid when I see subnets. [09:03] seppe: Please explain [09:04] c ya [09:04] heartsblood, i don't have to forgive anything. i'm pretty ignorant myself :) [09:04] <_ruben> heartsblood: its autoconfiguration ip space, when a client is set to auto config and there's no dhcp server avail, it will default to an ip in that range [09:05] _ruben: but a that range can be a differential of a subnet? [09:05] _ruben: what defines the range? [09:06] <_ruben> heartsblood: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3927.txt [09:07] <_ruben> heartsblood: check paragraph 2.1 on page 9 [09:08] hello hello [09:08] kewl rfc homework in #ubuntu :) [09:09] thats nice [09:09] hello napnap [09:09] _ruben: thank you. [09:09] a question.. is gdmgreeter the application that lets you login to gnome? [09:10] gdm [09:11] hello [09:11] I've installed xubuntu on my usb harddrive. I've also installed grub on it...But at boot time, grub is launched but it cannot run any OS (xubuntu,windows...) . In menu.lst Xubuntu boot on (hd1,0)...what i wrong ? [09:12] and windows on (hd0,0) [09:12] napnap, have you tried running grub interactively? [09:13] Is there a way to bind certain Windows (ie. Firefox, Evolution) to a certain desk, for instance no. 4, so I can have "Web", "Development" etc. desks for free without moving the windows manually? [09:13] bidossessi: interactively....mmm..what do you mean ? ..I just try to modify boot command line, whithout success === Greyhound is now known as Greyhound- [09:14] if i remember correctly, you can drop to a cli in grub by pressing c at boot... [09:14] bidossessi: yes it's true, but after ? [09:15] using tab completion, you can find out the real hd structure that grub sees [09:16] bidossessi: mm ok, but I can do this here (=>xubuntu livecd) [09:17] bidossessi: with tab completion I see several command , but I don't see The good [09:18] napnap, typical procedure would be "root (hd{tab}" [09:18] that would show you the available options [09:18] bidossessi: no, doesn't work, complete nothing [09:19] where can I file a bug? launchpad? [09:19] what about "root ({tab}" [09:19] hello i have xubuntu and i can't get any sound from it. and suggestions? [09:20] fife, checked sound levels? [09:20] yup everything is up and nothing is muted [09:20] bidossessi: thx for the help, I will say you all in 5 minutes, I come back [09:21] hey... I did something really trivial and dumb [09:21] and now I can't login worth a damn [09:21] my LCD says out of range [09:22] because I set things to some dumb refresh rate [09:22] how do i shot screen resolution [09:22] limepi, i'm sure you can fix that in console [09:22] the console isn't responding :( [09:22] i really hate the deskbar applet that comes with gutsy, its bulky and crashy, and i really just want the original deskbar. does anybody know how I can get that? [09:22] oh [09:22] yeah [09:22] heh [09:23] I FORGOT THAT IT WORKS FROM LIVECD [09:23] Anyone have a sec to help out a Linux newbie with a rather annoying problem? [09:23] ...um, how can I fix it w/console? some xwin thing [09:23] we are at your beck and call [09:23] at least they are [09:23] Ariel`, don't ask metaquestions, please. just shoot [09:24] just doubled checked and all levels are good [09:24] um so how do I change resolution for the installed OS [09:25] is it still through xfree86 [09:25] limepi, i'm pretty sure you can boot/drop to init 3 and fix your xorg.conf with something like "dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server". not sure about the syntax, tho [09:25] hmm === tyczek is now known as Tyczek [09:26] yeah to autodetect or whatever [09:26] fife, do you get any alsa errors in dmesg? [09:26] fife, was sound working at some point and not anymore? [09:27] Well... I'm not sure how to put this properly. I'm trying to start a program (Tux Gadget Manager for use with the Tux droid, specifically), and every time I do it starts to load and... goes poof. Doesn't even draw a window before disappearing. It used to run just fine, but now it does this. I've no idea why it's even vanishing... the software wasn't altered since the last time it worked. [09:27] is prelink good? [09:27] i had xp and it worked and it worked on pclinux but not on xubuntu [09:27] ficken [09:28] um file a bug report [09:28] it recognizes my card [09:28] fife, maybe you should check the hcl for your soundcard [09:28] alex? [09:28] it's open sores after all :) [09:28] bidossessi: I do reboot X, I can't write anythin on terminal now..:-S [09:28] Ariel`: run it in a command line and read for errors [09:29] napnap, try rebooting in level 3 [09:31] bidossessi: I send you PM with command line [09:33] napnap, i believe grub accepts extra arguments before booting your system. just add "3" (without the quotes). that should send you to a cli login. from there, do your thing [09:35] Alright... not figuring this out on my own any time soon at this rate. How do I find out what the line I need to use to launch from a command line? [09:35] Ariel`, type the first letters, then {tab} [09:36] hmm, does anyone know how I can build mesa 7.0.2 on gutsy? I've looked around for packages, or instructions on building from source... will apt-build do the trick? [09:37] Reason I ask is because I'm running up against a gl bug in blender... newer version is in hardy but I don't want to upgrade yet as wacom tablets are still a little messed up [09:38] hi [09:38] Hi can anyone help a linux newbie? I have a very small SSD hard drive and I'd like to instal some Debs to another partition [09:38] my the bluetooth-applet fades after suspend-to-ram on hardy. is there a way to make it stay? [09:39] God damn some ubuntu basics is totaly wopped crazy.... how the hell do i uninstall something that i have installed from scourcecode? [09:41] TransAm: that is not an ubuntu specific problem: You could see if there is a make unistall target in your Makefile. If not: you may use checkinstall, and install the deb, and afterwards remove it. Or you may look in your Makefile wich files are copied to your system. [09:42] TransArm: I ussally install all to /usr/local with the --prefix option, so I could delete if necessary [09:42] TransArm: HTH [09:43] TransArm: of course if I need to install from source and no package is available. [09:43] makefile? :D ... ive read about it ... but i just "./install.pl" and now it dont work [09:43] is there an uninstall.pl? [09:44] nope [09:44] what did you want to install? [09:44] vmware =) [09:44] is there no readme on howto remove this software? [09:44] hI [09:44] vmware has definitvley an uninstall.pl [09:45] ANYONE RESOLV THE PROBLEM ABOUT GNOME START [09:45] Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid [09:45] is there a search file util in ubuntu by default [09:45] TransArm: /usr/bin/vmware-uninstall.pl [09:45] violetdream, "find -name " [09:47] bidossessi I just want to search for a file on the whole filesystem, I don't have a file [09:47] violetdream, "find / -name " [09:47] are there any alternate mirrors for the apt repositories? I know debian has a mirror that's close to me and it's fast as hell, just wondering if ubuntu might have the same thing [09:47] locate [09:48] ppibburr, is slocate installed by default in ubuntu? [09:49] bidossessi, I think so [09:49] wb napnap [09:50] bidossessi: re, just to say you : all works fine, I'm on xubuntu harddrive system now, thanks for your help [09:50] napnap, glad to hear it, especially since i don't use ubuntu myself :) [09:51] Hello.

[09:54] bidossessi: You can set a new password in /mount_point_of_your_system_hd/etc/passwd [09:56] bidossessi: or I think if you chroot on your installed system with your livecd, you can change pwd with command line passwd... [09:56] brb [09:57] no idea for my pb ? [09:58] so is there really no way to install debs on another partition?

[10:09] bidossessi: the nfo file states under the installnotes: "Unpack and install. Use our keymaker to register it." [10:09] hi i am running into a problem i just installed 7.10 and it worked great until i updated the nvidia driver now i am forced to run in low graphics mode [10:10] TransAm: Don't use warez! This is illegal, use the free available player, and server! [10:10] seon: man df [10:10] actually my problem is when i add some thing to "System>Preferences>Sessions - Startup Prog" and after a reboot/logout that entry cant be found nor the program added to run in startup runs. plz help [10:11] brubelsabs: yes i want to, but vmware isnt avalible to i386 ( ? ) [10:11] as i said above im using ubuntu 7.10 [10:11] Yes it is! Should I point you which files to download?

[10:12] gsuveg: lshw [10:13] all you need is a vmx file and a file for a harddisk [10:13] any ideas on getting the display drivers to work? [10:13] Tomcat_, thanks, but i need a bit tune the output [10:13] brubelsabs: and how do i get a vmxfile and a file for my harddisk? [10:14] TransArm: http://www.easyvmx.com [10:14] TransAm, i believe you set those up in vmware configuration [10:14] como era para saber si tengo configurada la tarjeta grafica? [10:14] !es [10:14] Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [10:14] bullgard4, how about telling us the name of the package you are talking about [10:14] TransArm: easyvmx.com creates those for you, on your specific configuration [10:15] just download and use them [10:15] bidossessi: in the setup in vmware player? ... the free player can only load .. not create (thats what i figured out atleast) [10:15] TransArm, bidossessi: No, the player just plays those files, It won't generate any vmx nor ide file. [10:15] TransAm, i thought you were installing vmware. never used vmware player on it's own [10:16] bidossessi: aha, there it was :D ... thanks for the site.. ill get it a try [10:16] but you can download them from easyvmx.com, and then use them to install your OS into those files. [10:16] Varka: Synaptic writes for the DEB program package 'lighttpd': "The WebDAV module is a very minimalistic implementation of RFC 2518." Of what is WebDAV a module? [10:17] pl [10:18] .pl [10:18] but [10:18] crap, sorry [10:18] bullgard4, you find the answer within your question: lighttpd is a webserver, and you are talking about a module which enables webdav for it [10:18] * Nikki85 is back. [10:19] my problem is when i add some thing to "System>Preferences>Sessions - Startup Prog" and after a reboot/logout that entry cant be found nor the program added to run in startup runs. plz help [10:19] sorry to repeat [10:19] where would i look for getting help with my display driver? [10:20] TransAm: what you try to say? easyvmx.com is crap? [10:20] bullgard4, if you had been precise the package name is: lighttpd-mod-webdav [10:20] linuxguy568, display driver? what would your problem be? [10:20] nope, that my cat just walked over my second keyboard and typed some in the mainchat :D === joar is now known as CosmicBat [10:21] hmm, does anybody know howto run fsck on / without rescue cd or rebooting ? like doing 'init s' but howto remount / in ro mode ? [10:21] umount /dev/sda1 doesn't work (?) (sda1 is my root partition) [10:21] Varka: ok. [10:22] TransAm: reminds me on a good book: http://www.amazon.com/Bugs-Writing-lyn-dupre/dp/0201600196 full of cats :-D [10:22] brubelsabs: :D [10:22] CosmicBat, you cannot umount / ,when system is still running [10:22] bidossessi, i installed ubuntu 7.10 and the display worked but when i updated the drivers the system claimed that it could not detect the graphics card and insisted on running in low graphics mode. and how do i send a message to you? [10:23] i got a problem. whenever i open a folder, it opens in maximized view [10:23] What's the best way to remove a program that isn't coming up in the add/remove program list? === ShredZ_ is now known as ShredZ [10:24] linuxguy568, stay in public so that whatever helps you may benefit others. now as to the drivers, what make of cards do you use? [10:24] Ariel`: how did you instaled it? [10:24] Downloaded the deb file and ran it [10:25] man dpkg [10:25] Ariel`: use synaptic... System>Admin>Synaptic [10:25] i am using a 7900GTX with 2 1680X1050 LCD's. and i was wondering about how your name shows up yellow when you type something [10:25] icesword: okay cheers :) but I can remount it it seems, 'cause I just did 'mount -fr -o remount / ' and 'mount' now tells me / is ro, and I can run fsck [10:28] linuxguy568, might be because your irc client is configured to highlight whatever's got your nick in it. [10:28] linuxguy568, you still haven't mentionned your problem, if you have any [10:28] can anyone point me to a website that truly shows the performance differences between the ubuntu lines? [10:29] salve a tutti [10:29] bidossessi, @ 2:22 i sent " bidossessi, i installed ubuntu 7.10 and the display worked but when i updated the drivers the system claimed that it could not detect the graphics card and insisted on running in low graphics mode" [10:29] mi dite come devo registrarmi? [10:30] syere: performance is not easily comparable [10:30] !it [10:30] Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [10:30] brubelsabs: witch is faster? ... an vmware player in rpmpackage, or a compiled tar? [10:30] src [10:30] linuxguy568, how did you update the drivers? [10:30] source is faster, if possible [10:30] ppibburr, true, but i have been trying to find s site that will say what the basic memory usage is, how much the OS puts a strain on resources, ect [10:31] syere, very hard to catas [10:31] er [10:31] TransAm: I would use the compiled tar, cause translating the rpm into deb (which you should use on a ubuntu system) can cause errors. [10:31] syere, very hard to catalogue that data [10:32] brubelsabs: okey, shall se if "./configure" command will work [10:32] in the tar [10:32] kbrooks, not really. it is just a matter of looking at the base resources installed and running on each distro. you write down how much memory is used, the amount of processes after startup (before addig anything else) [10:33] syere, but what about the PC you use to do that [10:33] TransAm: No, this won't work. Just use the guide I posted before. There is no saying on a ./configure [10:33] bidossessi, i downloaded the drivers from nvidia NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09.pkg.run. opened up a virtual terminal and shutdown the x-server "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" then installed the packed via included gui and attempted to restart the gdm and thats when i got the error [10:34] brubelsabs: Did you post a guide? .. i must have missed it :o [10:34] kbrooks, you state what computer your running it on from the start, and use that same configuration. it would prove what distro is faster out of the box, and why. the machine itself doesnt matter, as if you took a newer or slower one, the differences in speed betwen the distros would b about the same as the original test bed [10:34] syere, ah [10:35] linuxguy568, that's not the recommended way to do it. you need to rerun the xorg-server configuration. i think it's dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server [10:35] Would someone be so kind to look at my bash script. I just would like gnuplot to plot the result of the first line but I don't know how to do it : http://pastebin.com/d381795dc [10:35] hi guys, i'm having problems with wxga laptop - acer aspire 7520 - the display doesn't play nice... how can i set the resolution to wide screen when xorg always sets 1024x768 or similar? [10:36] kbrooks, from a logical un-researched view, i would say xubuntu would be the fastest because of its xfce interface. However, xubuntu seems to load just as much stuff as ubuntu or kubuntu does, so is it really even faster? [10:36] hello. i am new to this. so bear with me. i was wondering is there a way to add Java to my ubuntu 7.10 system? btw, i am running a X86 AMD 64 bit computer. [10:36] syere, yes [10:36] if someone happens to have that model and the display is working... please send me the xorg.conf file, thank you - a lot :) [10:36] jon_ there is, let me find the link for you [10:36] bidossessi, it says xorg server is not installed [10:37] !xorg [10:37] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [10:37] enouf: I have now found the answer: This module is part (or a "module") of the 'lighttpd' webserver. -- Thank you very much. [10:37] i was wondering if nspluginwrapper would be involved? [10:38] jon_ i found a script that does it for me that i use. i do not believe it infolves nspluginwrapper [10:38] syere, xubuntu is based on xfce. [10:38] kbrooks, i stated that [10:39] but just because xfce is a light weight gui, does not mean that xubuntu is lighter weight on the system [10:39] server irc.quakenet.org [10:40] TransAm: http://www.smokinglinux.com/tutorials/install-vmware-player-on-ubuntu-gutsy-710 [10:40] jon_ go here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435 [10:40] brubelsabs: thanks again =) [10:41] bidossessi, !xorg ? [10:41] ok, thanks for the url - i hope it helps me (have to check that later - i'm not currently using the problematic machine) - if someone does have acer aspire 7250 and a working xorg.conf - it would help me a lot if you could give me your xorg.conf [10:41] linuxguy568, i made a mistake in the command. it's dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [10:41] okay, i will check it out and if i have any question i will come back. ty [10:41] jon_ your very welcome, and good luck! [10:42] jon_ PS... i use the swiftweasel option, it seems faster [10:42] Hi, I have a USB device (a phone) that used to be listed in lsusb, but it isn't anymore... What can I do? [10:42] any ideas on how to disable syslogging system level cronjobs? (I have a job that is executed once per minute and having each execution ending up in syslog is not nice) [10:42] hi how do i know what driver xorg is using? [10:42] also, I'd like to do this per job (so just disabling syslogging for that one job that is executed each minute) [10:43] regius, either X.org log /var/log/X.. smt or reading the X.org config (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) [10:44] regius, in latter, look for 'Section "Device"' and 'Driver "foobar"' under it. [10:46] Whew... Finally fixed the problems I was having. [10:46] join #ig1 [10:46] I have a phone connected via USB, but it isn't listed in lsusb [10:46] bidossessi, ok i configured it now aht? [10:46] Used to be though [10:46] Many thanks to biodessessi, ppibburr and erUSUL in particular! ^^ [10:47] tnx cizarro, my X logfile worked great. My xorg.conf says nothing about anything anymore :-) (xorg 7.3) [10:47] regius, ah, might be difficult to find the driver in the conf in that case ;-). np. [10:47] hi [10:47] how do i config the new xorg server? [10:48] use envy [10:48] regius, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [10:49] ppl how can I write to a cdrom from the terminal [10:49] ? [10:49] holy smokes....I think I've fallen in love with this channel [10:49] mitchell: I don't know the details, but cdrecord is the command you want to look up. [10:50] thks jhaig [10:50] ill investigate its man page [10:50] mitchell: mm cdrecord is the shit [10:50] where is w32codecs package? [10:51] !language | regius [10:51] did it get kicked out from gutsy? [10:51] regius: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [10:51] I'm not sure if it's wise to encourage the use of envy. Seems like it ain't supported. That's the official position in this channel - which happens to be Ubuntu's official support channel fwiw. [10:51] but this is a program [10:51] !envy | rajasun [10:51] rajasun: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [10:51] is it possible to do it with the dd command [10:51] ? [10:51] mitchell: I don't think you can do it with dd [10:51] And it does seem that many have had issues with it along with automatix. [10:52] !w32codecs [10:52] The Win32 codecs are available from the Medibuntu repositories (see « /msg ubotu medibuntu »), and for releases prior to Gutsy, also at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages [10:52] ive copied an images with dd [10:52] the shit is that i cannot write to a cd with it [10:52] linuxguy568, your new xorg.conf should allow you to run at normal graphics level, using the driver provided with/by ubuntu [10:52] mitchell: I don't think you can write a CD with dd, but I can be wrong [10:52] jussi01: I know that. Just helping to inform those unaware in the channel [10:52] !language | mitchell [10:52] sorryyyy [10:52] mitchell: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [10:52] rajasun: yeah, col. best to use the bot ;) [10:53] thanks compwiz18 [10:53] jussi01: yeah [10:53] and sory for my language [10:53] bidossessi, so restart? [10:53] mitchell: check out the wiki: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CdDvdBurning [10:53] no need [10:53] linuxguy568, just restart X [10:53] mitchell, writing a cd is not possible with dd, since there is no one standard way of driting to a cd (it's complex). hence, a program is required (cdrecord) that talks directly to the drive. [10:54] no for wroting with programs is ok but i want to be able to writeto a cd without a programm [10:54] yeee i think its hard [10:54] mitchell, it's not possible with dd. [10:54] mitchell, there's like a bunch of cd writing program available under linux, and a few preinstalled with ubuntu [10:54] i dont want to use simple writing cds programm [10:54] i love the hard way [10:55] mitchell, then do it in console [10:55] mitchell: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CdDvdBurning [10:55] gives you a nice console cd burning outline [10:55] mkisofs [10:55] ye i want top find the way ho [10:55] w [10:55] hi [10:55] mkisofs/groisofs [10:55] anyway thks guys i got to go [10:56] mwaaaaa [10:56] Why ubuntu is optymized for i386, not for i686, like Arch? [10:59] is there any other way do config x then dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? [10:59] xaz: the optimisation is generic [10:59] regius: pardon ? [10:59] regius: there are some basic UIs [10:59] which repository is thunderbird in? [10:59] but i never got any configuration that works from the X UIs [10:59] bidossessi: core [11:00] mavi-: drop to the console and do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" then when you restart you'll have a working config [11:00] What does "generic" means? [11:00] ikonia: i do my confs manually [11:00] xaz: generic machine / pc compatiability [11:01] how can i make the restrictions like removing access to cds or audio? [11:01] i want to do it in text mode [11:01] ikonia: but you asked for a way, and there are guis for it, but be warned that they arent all that good [11:01] xaz: optimisation is a false economy except in very specific siautaions [11:01] mavi-: I didn't ask for a way [11:01] mavi-: the "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" way don't let me choose what driver to use and so on [11:01] oh, regius did [11:01] ok [11:01] I know to go to user administration menu in [11:01] regius: that you can do with the UI [11:01] ubuntu but i what if i want to do it in text mode? [11:01] regius: system->administration->screens and graphics [11:02] Arch is optymalized for i686 and works fine on almost computers - why Ubuntu is working slooowly on new machines? [11:02] hi guys [11:02] mavi-: i'm running hardy :-) and it dies when i try to start it [11:02] I need some help [11:02] hi guy [11:02] regius, are you an experience linux user? [11:02] xaz it doesn't work slowly on new machines, it will work just as effectivly as arch [11:02] please recommend a nice software to have voice chat on yahoo or google [11:02] xaz: optimising is a false economy for pretty much all senarios [11:03] bidossessi: I have bin running freebsd for 6 years [11:03] ? [11:04] hardy is at alpha stage, so hardly a "stable" distro yet. if you want usability, use gutsy [11:04] ikonia, no - Ubuntu on my computer (I think that I can say about it "new" - c2d e6300, 1gb ram) is much slower than Arch, and I don't believe, that it is reason of more daemons, applications, etc [11:04] bidossessi: i know [11:04] regius, plus tere aren't so many drivers to choose from right now [11:04] waiting4androi1, try gyachi for yahoo [11:04] bidossessi, it failed to restart so i stopped and then started it and the same error happened. when i check my restricted driver manager, it says the driver is inuse but no enabled, when i try to enable it the system gets upset and i get dropped back to the configue dispaluy screen [11:04] your choice will depend on your hardware [11:04] xaz: I think you'll find that ubuntu by default comes with a lot more running and pretty much a defautl config, you need to tune your configs [11:05] anything except gyachi [11:06] ikonia, so, in your opinion, it isn't because of optymalization, but configs? Which configs? [11:06] bidossessi, when i try "sudo nvidia-settings" it says i am not running the nvidia x driver [11:06] xaz: %99.9 not down to optimisations === yon is now known as Yonie [11:07] Google says, that there is something like Ubuntu i686, maybe I'll try [11:07] xaz: things like what gome is linked against, compiz's inclusion, xaz the mouldes and versions loaded by default etc etc. you just need to make your setup your own [11:07] xaz: your kidding your self [11:07] nemo_, you need to run the uninstall script for the driver you downloaded, to make sure you system is clean [11:07] please tell me something other ethan gyachi === nemo_ is now known as linuxguy586 [11:07] and also for google talk [11:08] why doesn't it exist coz voice chat in it [11:08] waiting4androi1 google talk is a close protocol as I recall [11:08] is based on open source protocool [11:08] waiting4androi1, pignin work with yahoo, msn, googletalk [11:08] libjingle [11:08] is it ? [11:08] bidossessi, where would i find the script? [11:08] Hey guys, I have been trying to do a few things it /ect/ and i cant create new files or edit any files, can anyone help me with this please [11:08] ahh skype is closed, sorry [11:08] pidgin doesn't have voice chat support [11:08] i'm trying to get a microdia (pc camera) webcam to work under feisty. lsusb gives: 'Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0c45:612a Microdia '. i've tried easycam2, which doesn't find anything. ekiga doesn't find the camera either. any suggestions? [11:08] or better idea - I'll install only base ubuntu system, without many modules/daemons, etc and verify your opinion [11:08] Yonie: use sudo or gksudo for graphical editors [11:08] yeah skype is closed [11:08] xaz: how are you going to do that ? [11:09] afair, polish community made something like that [11:09] linuxguy586, i think there's an "nvidia-uninstall" or something [11:09] xaz: but that is not "ubuntu" that is someone elses version of uubntu - so not a fair comparison [11:10] waiting4androi1, you do realize that all tose clients you want to talk to are proprietary clients and ubuntu is against that concept, right? [11:10] xaz, you mean ubuntu 7.5? [11:10] how can i make log out from the terminal?? [11:10] come on gtalk [11:10] ikonia, but then how do i edit a file, lets say its /etc/iproute2/rt_tables? [11:10] uses open protocols [11:10] so some other client can easily connect [11:10] Tyczek, yeah, I think it's this [11:10] xaz: if one is to broaden this silly comparison game, perhaps, a lot will say that fbsd is way, way faster and more responsive than lots of linux distros under very stressful load. Think there are tests conducted, google for them if you want. But thing is it matters not to most ordinary end users of the OS/flavor/distro. [11:10] waiting4androi1, do you know the protocol? [11:11] Yonie: sudo nano /etc/iproute2/rt_tables [11:11] libjingle [11:11] I think [11:11] xaz, yea, we have something like that [11:11] ikonia, thank you [11:11] the standard for voip in the opensource world is SIP; what are you talking about [11:11] Hi, can someone help me unpacking .01 files with 7zip? [11:12] visof, ctrl+d, or just type logout [11:12] ikonia, how would i then create a new file in a dir? [11:12] Yonie: sudo nano /etc/new_file [11:13] Hi, can someone help me unpacking .01 files with 7zip? [11:13] kasper_: someone else was asking about that the other day for a router flash rom, 7zip was a new thing to me [11:14] Yonie: the touch command is good at making files. [11:14] rajasun, you mean, that system for end users, system, which just have to *work*, can't be responsible like systems for advanced users? I'm affraid I don't understand you ;) [11:14] I don't know what a router flash rom is :) But I have just downloaded some files that are packed in .01, .02 and .03 files etc.. [11:14] sorry - I haven't talked in English a long time ;) [11:14] And I want to unpack them :) [11:15] kasper_: what are the files [11:15] n [11:15] .rar [11:15] kasper_: but what do they contain [11:15] Something :) .. a videoclip [11:15] kasper_: 7z x file.01 ?? [11:16] kasper_ right - so it's warez [11:16] Hi [11:16] Hi, i want to print a pdf file, but for reasons i dont understand the printing job stops at a certain page. Then i try to remove the print-job, but that doesnt work either (it reports: client-error-not-possible). So, 1) how do i get rid of this print job, and 2) how do i get my pdf printed? [11:16] Has anybody been able to install ninan? [11:16] if you can't figure out how to open the package, you should not see what is inside. [11:17] Has anybody been able to install ninan? [11:17] kasper_: !repeat | MikeJ112_ [11:17] oops [11:17] !repeat | MikeJ112_ [11:17] MikeJ112_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [11:18] xaz: well don't think I said that. But tests have been run to show at least for the 6.x series, fbsd seems to appear to handle stressful loads better, was speedier, etc. Should this mean that all advanced users use fbsd instead? I guess it depends on individual preferences as much as what is a particular os's/distro's target market is. Ubuntu tries to go for mass market. Some compromises here and there to beexpected. [11:18] Well, I have installed 7zip through Add/remove but I can't get it to work when i'm trying to unpack.. when i want to unpack with the app 7z it doesnt do anything [11:19] rajasun: then you need to weigh whether or not there is much stress to handle to begin with. [11:19] kasper_: it's encrypted. [11:19] kasper_: and i'm assuming you don't know the passcode? [11:19] Hmm.. It's not encrypted.. [11:19] kasper_: contact the owner [11:20] kasper_: I am dubious it's content [11:20] I have succesfully unpacked on my Mac and also on the other comp with win XP [11:20] Nubbie: well like I said different folks, different strokes. Ubuntu suits me and most here but may not appeal nor does it claim to be a "1 size fits all" I think. [11:20] kasper_: there should be a "cue" file of some sort to tie together all of the pieces. [11:20] 2 sek.. [11:20] i'm gonna look for it now ill be back [11:20] i would be worried if somebody tried to claim a "one size fits all" system.

[11:21] erUSUL: there is next to nobody here looking for help, i don't see the harm :l [11:22] Nubbie, it is a videoclip? and it is packed in .rar files ? [11:22] I'll be right back.. 2min [11:23] anyway, the conclusion of our discussion is the system for end users can't be fast and responsible. But does optymalization for i686 really can't help? [11:23] Nubbie: best to take it to off-topic so that if people want help they see a "free" room rather than interupting a dicussion [11:23] xaz: no it doesn't [11:23] Hi there, does Gutsy has an AlternateCD? I want to install Gutsy on a computer who cannot boot from CD. Previously I managed to install on a similar computer using Netboot + feisty alternate iso image. I want to do the same with Gutsy... [11:24] xaz: in a lot of cases it can slow it down, we can discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic if you wish [11:24] ikonia, I dont know what to do when i need to save a file that i just created, i tried ^T, but then it gave me more options [11:24] shomat: it sure does [11:24] ikonia, must i append?

This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer. [11:26] ikonia, maybe you're right, without good prepare while ./configure (I mean disabling some features) it may not help, but... slow down? ;) === nemo_ is now known as Linuxguy568 [11:26] xaz: look me up on the linux from scratch project, I assure you a LOT of work has been done with this [11:26] allo, I'm trying to install winxp through qemu, and I've been following this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo However, when I come to the part where I start up the vm and the system is about to read the boot disk (iso or cdrom) it says "FATAL: Cannot read the boot disk" [11:27] bidossessi, it keeps getting hun up on resatring when it tries to run local boot scripts? [11:27] printing is really funny sometimes. There are pages that cause evince to stop but print in acrobat, other pages print only black squares from within acrobat but work from evince. So i'll print every page with the proper application. I just hope there will never be a page with both problems === Over is now known as Overseer [11:27] Ikonia, thank you very much. I have missed that part. Thank you :). [11:28] Linuxguy568, what boot script? [11:30] Does anyone know how I can enable click wheel scrolling in firefox?

[11:35] 你没有开放共享 [11:35] [11:35] You do not have open sharing [11:36] Linuxguy568, if it works with just one monitor, i guess, you could edit your xorg.conf to enable dual-monitors. not sure how it's done in ubuntu, tho [11:36] hoj [11:37] Gnome device manager finds on both of my laptops a platform device 'eisa.0'.

[11:49] compwiz18, yes [11:50] bullgard4 :i can [11:50] Yonie: type that ifdown eth2 in the terminal [11:50] thanks regius, can you help me to connect with you?

[11:51] think I making some progress "getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION" gives "NPTL 2.3.6" , guess I got to make some changes to the programs linking script, adding -L/usr/lib/nptl and -I/usr/include/nptl [11:51] i'm having a xeon server wanna install ubuntu on it should i use i386 ? or ?

[11:53] !pastebin | Yonie [11:54] !paste [11:54] !pastebin [11:54] Yonie: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [11:54] user11_011: /usr/share/samba/smb.conf [11:54] ubotu is lagging [11:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about is lagging - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:54] Yonie: if you put the ifconfig information in the pastebin, I'll take a look at it and try and help you [11:56] ^Xalastras^: did you edit /etc/resolv.conf and then use dhcp? [11:56] please help me to chat with another(private) [11:56] compwiz18, ok but when i try paste is says im spamming and i must enable javascript :s [11:57] Yonie: that's weird - can you turn java script on? [11:57] <^Xalastras^> compwiz18, yeah :o [11:57] here this is what tells me: "If you're not attempting to spam, please enable javascript so you can pass the antispam check" [11:58] ^Xalastras^: that's the problem, dhcp will overwrite /etc/resolv.conf with the dns servers it recieves. you can edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf on the prepend-nameservers line with the ip of your router [11:58] I am looking at buying the T-mobile Dash or the HTC Excalibur. Would it sync/transfer files with ubuntu? It runs Windows Mobile. [11:58] Yonie: I guess they're assuming that bots don't have javascript, and people do?

[12:00] Hi! I'm using 7.10. I can use dhcp to get IP, but how can I use dhcp to get DNS address? What shall I put in resolv.conf? [12:00] hxu: using dhcp should update resolv.conf automatically [12:01] compwiz18: hxu: you are right by default it does not get dns servers [12:01] compwiz18, thanks :) [12:01] compwiz18: Mine does not. [12:01] compwiz18: hxu: even mine does not [12:01] compwiz18: hxu: i end up using the opendns servers. [12:02] nobody can help me with gtkpod ? because nobody answer in #gtkpod [12:02] sdakak: hxu: you can edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf on the prepend-nameservers line with the ip of your dns servers to get dhcp to add them to resolv.conf . Again, this should be done automatically, I think. [12:03] compwiz18: even i used to think that. but somehow it never happened with my system. i just tried that on a fresh Gutsy install and a Gutsy liveCD [12:04] user11_011: I made a mistake. The file /etc/samba/smb.conf is your personal Samba configuration file. Its contents should resemble that of your friend's mutatis mutandis. [12:04] sdakak: it does on mine... that's all I can say for it [12:05] compwiz18: The dns servers are different when I'm at home and at company. [12:05] compwiz18: Do I need to add all of them in it? [12:05] Hi How do I get my machine to switch back to the GDM starter from Enlightenments version of the GDM? [12:05] hxu: sorry, I'm out of suggestions. you can try searching on Ubuntu Forums or something, but they should be updated when you run dhcp. [12:06] bullgard4 :it is mutatis mutandis .infact i replaced it also!!! [12:07] user11_011: But still after rebooting Nautilus cannot see your friend's share? [12:07] bullgard4 :and the worst thing is he doesnt have samba running when checked in adminstration->services and i have both samba and nfs running!!!! [12:08] user11_011, can you use smbclient and find the share you are looking for? [12:09] user11_011: NFS does not matter. You either try Samba or NFS. Please do not mix them (at least not at the beginning.) [12:11] user11_011, who is doing the sharing? [12:11] there is a lan and many comps are sharing [12:11] what OS are they using?

[12:43] I installed windows just to test this and i still connect easily with windows [12:43] tinman_, what changed? [12:43] sajs: wubi is not supported [12:43] anyone good with laptops ? [12:43] Cheezels: in what way ? [12:43] tinman_, the best irc manual anyone could ever get is the irc rfc, and that is so filled with irrevelant crap and unimportant info [12:43] is it okay if i leave my laptop on for days ? [12:43] Cheezels: up to you === bakert is now known as KingOfBadgers [12:43] wont overheat or anyting ?

[12:44] Cheezels, should ise power management to turn most things off [12:44] Cheezels: contact your vendor [12:44] kbrooks: fine, you tutor him on that [12:44] i think the whole network share is limited in new samba version so as to enhance security. and individual have to be browsed .

[12:47] mhrnjad, also, when you hibernate in ubuntu, your system is fully shutdown [12:47] I got dc'ed again [12:47] :/ [12:48] mhrnjad, after all the data in RAM is saved to your HD [12:48] kbrooks: that's precisely what I want when I hibernate ..

[12:50] ok thank u [12:51] hi pick, how to chat with different dialog window [12:51] hk2999, not sure how [12:51] hk2999: i thought that cancelling the jobs were higher on the priority list [12:51] baimohamed, type, without any space, this [12:51] /msg user message here [12:52] No one knows how I can fix these probles?

[13:37] the ubuntu-ops decision is final. if you feel that someone has been unjustly banned then take it up in #ubuntu-ops . making remarks in a open support channel about your disagreement with the decision of the ops is irresponsible and offtopic. as is this entire conversation we are having [13:37] bidossessi: and he said exactly what it would do, so i don't see why a ban would even begin to be considered [13:38] Pici: that tells me to install a package that does not exist on gutsy (localeconf) [13:38] if you get gyachi for the voice and cam to work you will need to download the plugins also [13:39] how to solve the grub problem when i make a partition & copied the filesystem from live cd [13:39] is there a command i can type in terminal to mount all unmounted devices?

[13:49] thanks for the help [13:49] whats the difference between the console you get when you press ctrl+alt+F4 and the one you get at ctrl+alt+F2 [13:49] Agent_bob: actually, it does start WITH the monitor attached, it doesn't without it [13:50] piraniaaaa check your bios "halt on error" setting [13:50] Agent_bob: I think the problem is that X doesn't 'see' my monitor and thinks: 'something is wrong here' [13:50] Agent_bob: ok [13:50] Agent_bob: i will [13:50] arthur37854, mounting devices that way is not recomended tho; you need to figure out why hald is not [13:50] k3zo: nothing? QSL? [13:50] QSL? [13:50] piraniaaaa X ? you don't run xorg on a headless box ??? [13:51] Agent_bob: sure you can [13:51] ikonia why would you ? [13:51] k3zo: nevermind, your nick looks like a call sign. :) [13:51] Agent_bob: remote connections, some apps depend on it [13:51] is there any site where i can upload a file and then check what ip it registers for the upload? need to know if firefox will upload through tor aswell when its turned on [13:51] ham radio? [13:51] k3zo: yep. [13:51] ;) [13:52] ikonia hmmm ok. well piraniaaaa needs to know how to run X headless then [13:52] thought it might be nothing just curious why I needed access to 2 diff consoles [13:52] Agent_bob: you don't actually run it as there is no monitor - you just allow clients to launch it [13:52] * Agent_bob doesn't even run X on anything. [13:52] is there a way to have programs start during boottime without adding them to the sessions startup [13:52] Is anyone familiar with the svn tag command svn copy https://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/trunk https://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/tags/Rel_2_3_0_0 "Creating a tag". I want to also add the bug numbers what is the option should I give ? [13:52] ?? [13:54] How do I stop 'nm-applet' from starting up? [13:55] k3zo no differance except one is tty4 and the other tty2 there are 7 active ttys in default ubuntu 1-7 and xorg is running in tty7 plus one inactive tty8 usplash uses it. you can open as many consoles as you like openvt -s [13:56] I have got to stop installing updates as soon as they come out. apt breakage has got to be my biggest headache with ubuntu [13:56] I've used amule but kad is firewalled. :( I've already openned the ports on firestarter. [13:56] Agent_bob: cheers for the headsup [13:57] k3zo also handy alt+[left or right arrow keys] to step up or down the active ttys [13:58] Agent_bob: i love learning ubuntu, cheers again. [13:58] k3zo but it doesn't break you out of xorg :) [13:58] interesting [13:59] k3zo well that part is not ubuntu, it's linux common to most all *nix's [13:59] thats even better news [14:00] k3zo also handy if you have to do things in a console and the text scrolls by out of sight shift+page_up consoles can scroll *but, the buffer is cleared when you change ttys* [14:02] last shot for the night: Does anyone know how to associate a CUPS printer driver with a CUPS printer *without* using GUI tools? [14:02] Agent_bob: i've needed that tip for ages! [14:02] how do I put bullets in gedit? :D [14:03] wers: is a text editor use * as bullets [14:03] kauer ummm w3b lynx links2 or elinks to 127.0.0.1:631 ? [14:03] kauer: maybe you can use the web gui [14:03] erUSUL, I copied and pasted bullets from tomboy and it worked [14:04] wers: copy/paste this • to gedit [14:04] oh... sorry late reply. :( [14:04] hk2999, thanks. no other way? :) [14:04] k3zo yes, it's handy. but i like to just pipe things into less it has search features as well as scrolling and paging [14:04] character map :D [14:05] wers: i suppose that unicode (UTF-8) has bullet characters ;) [14:05] anyone familiar with awk? [14:06] ooooh. thanks! :) [14:06] what's the best way to mount a *.img?

Can anyone help me with installing a debugger for PHP on ubuntu? [14:28] sknh, Yeah, sure. Do you want to use xdebug? [14:28] !flash [14:28] sknh, In ubuntu is actually pretty simple, there's a package for it :) [14:28] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [14:28] 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. [14:28] does anybody know anything about when the official fix is out? [14:28] sknh, Oh wait, maybe not. [14:29] Agent_bob: That'd be a possibility i guess, i'll try, thanks [14:29] I want to play a game in wine, but i haven't the installer. only the executable. is it possible? [14:29] ok i have another question about my mp3 player? if its pluged in and i boot it shows up on desktop as icon, and in the file manager. if i right click on it and un mount it it unmounts, if i want to mount it again i can go to places/computer/right click on generic audio device/then mount and i can use the drive. NOW i un plug the device and replug it back in and there is no desktop icon, and its not in the file manager, is there a wa [14:29] jamalf, yes I would like to use xdebug [14:29] sknh, Alright, let me figure out how I did it because I don't even remember now :D [14:29] hello everyone :) [14:30] rafaelsoaresb1 wine /path/to/game.exe and see [14:30] has anybody had this weird thing happen to them using avant window navigator? http://img229.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotyq7.png [14:30] Agent_bob, okay [14:30] notice how the upside down icon still has the reflection of the firefox icon that was supposed to be there.... [14:30] weird :P [14:30] jamalf, I couldn't find any package for ubuntu [14:30] does someone here have any experience with wminput or figuring out why a certain thing needs sudo to work properly [14:31] Chamunks: usually a permissions issue [14:31] sknh, Yeah I notice that now. I'm pretty sure I didn't do it from source so I'm trying to figure out exactly how I did it. Its been a while sorry =\ [14:31] Chamunks what thing are we talking about ? [14:31] jamalf, you don't have to be sorry... I am happy atleast someone is trying to help me out [14:31] jrib, yeah i would love to source where the permissions are screwy but im not really sure where to start. [14:32] hey guys, my main repositories are down? [14:32] jamalf, how long have you been using xdebug? Is it the best debugger available for PHP? [14:32] sknh, OH! Okay its installed as a pecl package :) I found the guide that I used to install it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=525257 [14:32] filthpig: the actual bug report is probably the best place to keep up on the progress. They are waiting for Konq to work with the new plugin I believe [14:32] Agent_bob, im trying to figure out what permissions wminput needs to run so i can give it to it and stop needing to sudo it just to use my wiimote [14:32] sknh, I've been using it for a few months and I love it. All I've noticed is that it automatically gives you a formatted backtrace on errors (AMAZING) and then var_dumps are automatically formatted too (no more view->source for array dumps :D) [14:32] Could not connect to ch.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (130.59.10.34). - connect (111 Connection refused) [IP: 130.59.10.34 80] [14:33] Chamunks in a terminal run it and see if the error message is revieling ? [14:33] sknh, But yeah, follow the link I gave you and see if you can install it. I belive that's what I used. Ping me if you have any problems getting it working and I'll be happy to help :) [14:33] seems there are problem with all the european sourceforge mirror as well [14:33] Agent_bob, ill pastebin anything if anything wants to come up [14:33] Chamunks: have you tried the wiki page that comes up when you google for "wminput permissions"? [14:34] jamalf: thanks for the help [14:34] jrib, I may have ... checking [14:34] sknh, no problem :) oh and the only thing is that i don't know if you can do breakpoint debugging with xdebug, i have never tried although it would be useful.. let me go check haha [14:34] Chamunks: and the relevant bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cwiid/+bug/140890 says the manpage details the udev rule needed [14:35] jamalf: yeah, I don't think we can do breakpoint debugging [14:35] jrib, that seems to be a common mention across the howto's but alas i've never touched udev before [14:35] jamalf: anyways, I am completely new to xdebug... let me use it to say anything about it :) [14:36] sknh, alright! good luck :) [14:36] Chamunks: is the man page confusing? Can you pastebin it? [14:37] Agent_bob, erUSUL: Yes, I found the web GUI, and I can connect to it, but I can see no way to authenticate to it, so I'm just a guest and cannot do anything administrative (I get "403: Forbidden" on all those pages). Do you know how I can authenticate with the CUPS web GUI? [14:37] jrib, i just ran man wminput (not sure how to select and copy everything) [14:37] Chamunks: just the part about udev and permissions [14:37] jrib, k searching [14:38] anyone ! last chance to show yourself a real guru. i'm having a problem with mc, i can't execute any commands from it http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d35090f2e anyone have any clue what might cause this ? [14:38] kauer not me. sorry. [14:38] Heloo [14:38] Hello [14:39] jrib, I guess the only reason why i havent done this yet is kus its a path i have not gone before but it seems comprehensible sorry to bother ya. [14:39] anyone know an app to make a mirror of a harddraive to another hardrive on the LAN ? [14:39] (on another computer) [14:39] jrib, I'm supprised the fella didnt put it in his wiki page on setting this up. [14:40] napnap rsync ? [14:40] !clone [14:40] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [14:40] Chamunks: no problem. I'd recommend setting up a group, not making it 666. The comments in the bug report explain why [14:40] and update the drive each day for example [14:40] jrib, he mentioned that it was something he wished to fix... I guess ill submit it. [14:40] Is there a way of defining a bridge in the interface-file? i rather not have some kind of ugly script running each time i start my computer. [14:40] Agent_bob: You could try removing ~/.mc/ [14:40] Agent_bob, yes, right, thankx rsync+ apt ? [14:40] Agent_bob, lol euh rsync+cron I would mean [14:40] How can I tell what Ghz my cpu is running at? [14:41] It is a c2d that changes speed [14:41] Progress on the CUPS thing. Connections from localhost seem to allow administrative access to the Web GUI. I had to install firefox on the server, and xauth to allow X11 to be tunnelled. Now I see to have access. Now to see if I can set the printer type :-) [14:41] napnap yes as a cron job would be a good backup system [14:41] Agent_bob, ok I will see that, thanks [14:41] jrib, its too bad I dont know bash otherwise i could do something like this so if i reinstall i dont have to do all this again. [14:41] asdrubal ummm cat /proc/cpuinfo ? [14:41] ANyone know how to tell what Mhz a C2D is running at [14:42] my 7.04 filesystem turns only read after every reboot [14:42] Agent_bob, dude that's not the speed [14:42] that's just cpuid stuff [14:42] Chamunks: /etc is a directory you should keep backups of [14:42] what the best rss reader for gnome? [14:42] !best > killown|away (killown|away, see the private message from Ubotu) [14:42] Agent_bob, so you're telling me that cpuinfo changes when my core clocks down? [14:43] jrib, any other directories while were on the subject? [14:43] asdrubal i'm not sure it does. you can check it and see [14:43] asdrubal: /proc/cpuinfo should show everything about your cpu(s) including the speeds. [14:43] Chamunks: /home and /etc are all I worry about [14:43] can anyone type my name please? testing out the sounds my client [14:43] I have an Intel Graphic Media Accelerator X3100, will that work in Ubuntu?

We can read lowercase too. [14:44] jrib, I allways try to keep my /home/ on a different drive or partition [14:44] bardyr, does it use part of my RAM? [14:44] oops [14:44] LetsGo67, intel has the best and out of the box support [14:44] Chamunks: yeah, that is a good idea [14:44] LetsGo67, i think so [14:44] bardyr: I can play SuperTuxKart and StepMania? [14:44] sknh, Apparently there is something like breakpoitn debugging with xdebug: http://xdebug.org/docs/remote [14:44] LetsGo67, i think so, but im not sure === Scunizi_ is now known as Scunizi [14:45] jamalf: there is? its good news then. Thanks. [14:45] sknh, no problem :) [14:45] argh sorry [14:45] but this /etc/ seems like if i screw stuff up most of the time it will be the /etc/ directory that would save lots of space in backups. [14:45] asdrubal: Mine shows the current mHz for my C2D. [14:45] Thanks, bardyr. [14:46] asdrubal: cpu MHz : 2000.000 , it was at 1000 a minute ago. [14:46] Hello there.

[15:42] fotoflo: there's a lot of documentation about it, but (basically) you should start with initrd-tools [15:42] The good news is that I CAN configure CUPS using a local connection - it prompts for username and password if necessary.

[15:49] it describes how to do it with normal ubuntu.. not ubuntu-server [15:49] i don't do clickypointy on my server :) [15:49] hello, i am user acer 4520 amd. i installed feisty. no sound and wifi work. i have sat on it for two days. plse help me here [15:49] Macer: becouse the first one is to make a raid volume from disks that are *not* already raided by the MB bios [15:49] Can someone please walk me through checking if my external firewire drive is mountable, and if so, help me mount it. Please. [15:49] Me3W: What part of the install are you having trouble with? [15:49] Hi, I'm trying to install a ubuntu server using an USB drive, first of all, all guides around mention "casper", and no such thing is present in the server iso ? [15:49] Installing the Nidia drivers [15:50] Hi! I have a 10 years old comp with a new 250Gb Hd which has potentially some trouble to be properly detected by its real size. have i to install the "big drive enabler" before ubuntu or not? [15:50] Poco: i have the drivers on my desktop the install file but nt able 2 install it [15:50] !nvidia > Me3W [15:50] Macer: if you are not going to use the raid on windows it is faster to not use the bios raid and use the linux software raid [15:50] I've been having a very strange problem lately. Everytime I download large files, after a certain amount is downloaded (can't pinpoint it exactly, maybe 100-200MB). My mouse will start lagging very heavily. The same goes for transfers between boxes. It also seems to drop my IP after the downloads/transfers are finished. The mouse lag will continue until I restart the entire system. All other applications run [15:50] perfectly normal during this, it's not a matter of heavy resource use. Any ideas anybody please? [15:51] !compiz-custom [15:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about compiz-custom - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [15:51] anyone plse [15:51] !compiz [15:51] 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 [15:51] well, what is "casper" anyway ?

[15:54] when you install php5 and php5-cgi, does php5-cgi 'overwrites' the php5 apache install (libapache2-mod-php5)? Or does it simply install php5-cgi along with php5 for apache? [15:54] is there a command that shows me what graphic card i got? [15:55] (to see wether it is detected) [15:55] Me3W: changing the nvidia driver will not change the directx version showed by wine afaics [15:55] erUSUL : But how is it possible installing the drivers [15:55] Is it possible to force update-manager to not open a bunch of new windows all the time during update? They tend to get in the way [15:55] everything erUSUL : every page i have read requires using md [15:55] Me3W: i seem to recall a how to install directx 9 on wine.... search on google [15:56] Any one used Steam before ?

[15:58] afternoon === fatih is now known as FatihAkdeniz [15:58] after setting up md the ubuntu-server install detects the software raid :) NOW.. lets see if i can just install and boot it [15:59] can anybody tell me how to add a "search folder" functionality to my right mouse button menu for natuilus, pls? [16:00] LjL-Temp: thx it worked, do you know how to change the resolution on the login screen? [16:01] bengee_: uhm, i generally do « sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg » and select *only* the resolution i want to use, to solve that problem [16:01] I have an external firewire drive, when I plug it in, sometimes it says "do not have permisson to view this device" sometimes it doesn't Is there anyway to change this permission? [16:01] LjL: There is somewhere gdm specific settings but I don't recall the location [16:02] Hey guys. I was curious as to how ubuntu handles network connections as of Gutsy. the /etc/network/interfaces file seems bare. [16:02] I can't even see the drive on my desktop [16:02] Is there a way to put the Applications menu into the desktop context menu? [16:02] LjL: do you speak german? [16:02] hey guys....does anyone know of a program I can use to see what programs might be currently using my soundcard? [16:02] Zaxxon: You could specify the drive in fstab [16:02] bengee_: no, sorry. there is #ubuntu-de if you want to try it [16:02] Zaxxon: Or chown/chmod the mount point for the drive. [16:03] ubuntunut: When /etc/network/interfaces is bare, networkmanager can use the interfaces. Otherwise it thinks they are manually configured [16:03] ez [16:03] LjL:oh thanks for this tipp ;) [16:03] ubuntunut, could you walk me throught that please.. I am really new to Linux [16:03] genii: I see. networkmanager is installed on a cli installation? [16:03] Zaxxon: No worries. Where are you mounting the drive? [16:03] I want it mounted to my desktop [16:04] ubuntunut: No, not normally. I am speaking of Gnome desktop [16:04] Zaxxon: Right right. But when you plug it in, where in the filesystem does it appear? Somewhere under /media/ I assume? [16:04] it doesn't [16:04] I can't see anything [16:04] just get a message [16:04] genii: Ah I see. Well I don't use gnome. Was curious how it is handled. [16:04] *messege [16:05] Zaxxon: Ok. Plug in your firewire drive, navigate to /media/ and tell me if it shows up there [16:05] so, does anyone know of a way I could check to see what's making use of my soundcard?? [16:05] ubuntunut: If you want the interfaces to be started in cli then you do need an /etc/network/interfaces entry for it so that /etc/init.d/networking script has an idea of whats attached and if static/dhcp etc [16:06] when installing ubuntu i selected SCSI2 for my install partition, but i don't know how to put the swap on the master hdd, will this affect my boot menu? [16:06] genii: I see. I have wpa_supplicant installed. Would that handle the connections? [16:07] ubuntunut: You can use that in combination with ifconfig to bring the interface up, yes. [16:08] Ubuntunut, nope It doesn't [16:08] ubuntunut, it shows cdrom, cdrom0, and my ipod [16:08] TuxOtaku: "lsof | grep snd" may tell you [16:08] genii: Ok. Well just as a heads up, I DO have internet connection, but the interfaces file is blank (asside from the loopback device), and I have wpa_supplicant installed. Was just asking for my own knowlege [16:08] How can I close a port on my laptop? [16:09] Zaxxon: Hmm, so it's not automatically mounted for you then [16:09] morning [16:09] ubuntunut, correct [16:09] ubuntunut: You can also pick some brains in #ubuntu-server if you need details :) [16:09] Vad1: don't let anything listen on it [16:10] Zaxxon: Alright. Just a quick question: Have you cruised ubuntuforums.org yet? A lot of helpful info is there [16:10] erawfish: I had nc listening.. how I can I close it now though? It's still open after I closed nc [16:10] ubuntunut: man interfaces, /usr/share/doc/wireless-tools, same for wpasupplicant package [16:10] Vad1: netstat -anp |grep [16:10] I have [16:11] Vad1: if no program listens on that socket it's not open [16:11] genii: Will do [16:11] ubuntunut, yes, I did.. but I couldn't find anything written simple enough for me to apply [16:11] erawfish: I got a bunch. Pastebin? [16:11] and if you kill a program, the socket IS closed [16:11] erawfish: I've a weird setup: My uni uses wpa enterprise on their hard line ethernet connections, so we need to use wpa supplicant. [16:11] Zaxxon: Alright. Let's google, shall we [16:12] is there a program that will run another program if one other program does somthing? [16:12] ubuntunut, okay.. It was used on this computer when I was running OS9 6 years ago. I don't think I ever remormated it [16:12] erawfish: Oh got it, killall nc did it [16:12] Zaxxon: I understand. [16:13] but OSX crashed, and Ubuntu was the only thing I could get to work. I have some hardware issue that I still can't figure out. [16:13] Bad RAM I think [16:13] Zaxxon: See, in my mind, the firewire would be located somewhere in /dev/. This is where all devices on your computer are listed. [16:13] I'll check /dev [16:13] Zaxxon: All we need to do is run a simple 'mount' command to mount that /dev/ file to somewhere like /media/firewire/ [16:14] Zaxxon: Stuff in /dev/ isn't exactly 'human readable' =p [16:14] anyone know of a program like irfanview i can use to resize and rename jpegs [16:14] hahaha, yeah, I just noticed that [16:14] what did I have to install to customize which compiz effects I want? [16:14] !ccsm | filthpig [16:14] filthpig: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [16:15] ubuntunut, so how do I find the drive? [16:15] !info xnview [16:15] Package xnview does not exist in gutsy [16:15] hmm [16:15] Zaxxon: Just for yoru own info though, stuff plugged in through usb is usually noted as sd*, like sda, sdb, etc. [16:15] thanks === morten is now known as Xaer [16:15] is there a program that will run another program if one other program does somthing? ie skype calls and another program starts a sound recorder [16:15] hi, i upgraded skype from 1.4 to 2.0 beta to try, but after singing in skype interface is just blank, plane white. So i went back to 1.4, still the same, any idea what can it be? [16:15] i'm trying to install the 8800gt drivers from the nvidia site, it installs the driver fine, but when i reboot it goes back to low graphics mode and no 8800 drivers. what am i doing wrong? [16:15] ubuntunut, cool, firewire is different? [16:15] Zaxxon: You need to figure out how firewire appears under /dev/ first. After that, then you can mount it, which I'll help you will. [16:15] with* [16:15] info gqview === PupenoG- is now known as PupenoG [16:16] gsmsk, why are you installing the drivers from the nvidia site ? [16:16] Zaxxon: I"m not sure as I've never used firewire myself. Not even on a windows/mac machine. [16:16] bah forgot ! [16:16] !info gqview [16:16] gqview (source: gqview): A simple image viewer using GTK+. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.4-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 454 kB, installed size 2676 kB [16:16] well which should i install?

[16:16] er [16:16] wrong linek. [16:16] ubuntunut, okay, so........I look through that folder? [16:16] any One got a face Winodws Xp cd ? [16:16] i have tried gqview but i dont see how i can use the batch conversion and rename function i am looking for [16:16] Zaxxon: This : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/36274 [16:16] I have another drive that mounts fine btw [16:16] Please ignore my above question :) [16:16] Zaxxon: Oh? [16:16] Firewire [16:16] yeah [16:17] gsmsk, did you enable the restricted drivers in the 'restricted drivers manager' ? [16:17] Zaxxon: ok. You're going to want to find out how that drive appears in /dev/ [16:17] ubuntunut, when I plug this one in, it says that I don't have permission to view it [16:17] [smb.conf] What access rights does give a line "read only = no" below a [share name] line? [16:17] neverblue no i didn't [16:17] ubuntunut: any ideas what I'm looking for?

[16:18] cool, thank you [16:18] jamalf: :cd path works for me [16:18] Zaxxon: see anything like that? [16:18] bullgard4: have you read the smb.conf manpage? [16:19] hi. how do you make your webcam work with amsn? [16:19] sdc? [16:19] Zaxxon: Sounds like a possibility... do you see something like 'sdc1' by any chance? [16:19] neverblue when i try to open the restricted drivers manager, only a box pops up saying my hardware doesn't need restricted drivers [16:19] Pici: I have not read 5897 lines of dense mathematical text. [16:19] ubuntunut: I have sdc-sdc2 [16:20] my skype whan show contacts when i turn on compiz, it used to work fine, after reinstalling skype it wont work any more, anybody know why? [16:20] Zaxxon: Alright. Do you happen to have sata drives and/or usb drives currently connected to your computer? If so, do you also have 'sda' or 'sdb' in your dev folder?

A model name, number, anything like that [16:29] kbs, shoot up a terminal and type alsamixer [16:29] kbs, did you possibly have an OS on it previously, or was your sound working before, so you KNOW the hardware, speakers, sound card, headphones, etc are all working ?

[16:34] sknh, ahh yeah i understand =) [16:34] !macer fakeraid [16:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about macer fakeraid - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [16:34] Yeah, it worked up untill I tried to reinstall OSX and had a fatal error on my computer doing so.. the firewire was dissconnected [16:34] !fakeraid macer [16:34] can someone help me im new to ubuntu i cant get sound out of my audio jack i have a AC 97 [16:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about fakeraid macer - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [16:34] hehehe [16:34] azexian actually it's a cross-compiling tool and it is tested. now what? [16:35] mirja: PCM? [16:35] anyone know how to figure out if USB_SUSPEND option is enabled? [16:35] nerve: it is by default [16:35] Zaxxon: Do you have any other mac machines in the house to test the drive with? to see if it's still working and all that jazz? If not then we'll just try mounting willy-nilly [16:35] nerve: powertop is wrong =) [16:35] sandy that is odd, you could use the command line to extract, it's iso right? [16:35] how can i add a "search folder" functionality to my nautilus context menu? [16:35] I don't sorry [16:35] kbs, when you open up alsamixer, there is PCM volume as well, unmute it and gear up the volume [16:36] azexian u are right, but i have right-clicked on it. it's been done. now tell me what to do? [16:36] Zaxxon: Alright then. Try this: plug in the firewire, look at /dev/ (mostly at the sd* stuffs), then unplug the firewire and see if anything disappeared [16:36] okay [16:36] i think i went about it the wrong way [16:37] Probably this is stupidly simple, but how can I uninstall apache2 ? [16:37] gawdammit 1250 ppl in a channel and noone knows how to a a freakin search menu to nautilus??? [16:37] the damn installer just doesn't seem to want to allow me to make more than one partition on the software raid :) [16:37] Hello =) , I have some questions regarding my desktop. I have searched google but i am quite new to linux so if someone could please PM me for a chat woudl be much appreciated as i have trouble concentrating in a room lol [16:37] [help required]: i right-clicked on an .iso file and selected extract here. a bug reporting tool appeared and asked me to report it. i have reported it but the bug reporting tool is appearing again and again. what can i do now to get rid of this? [16:37] Sandra24: sudo apt-get remove apache2 [16:37] has never ever anybody searched anything in ubuntu??? [16:37] fx|RabBit: everybody is here and everybody is awake and looking at your question. comeon get real. [16:37] Zaxxon unplug the firewire, then in a terminal type 'tail -f /var/log/messages', then plug in the firewire and watch the terminal...you should be able to determine what the firewire is being identified as [16:37] Is there a BOOST asio library for ubuntu? [16:38] fx|RabBit: I haven't. I don't use nautilus. That sounds like something you could easily find out by lookin gat the nautilus docs. [16:38] can someone help me im new to ubuntu i cant get sound out of my audio jack i have a x205-s9349 [16:38] fujitsu lifebook [16:38] laptop on the hcl [16:38] hibernation fails [16:38] genii: Package apache2 is not installed, so not removed. Maybe I installed it from source, not using apt-get? [16:38] Is there a BOOST asio package for ubuntu? [16:38] Sandra24: This is possible. Or you may have installed apache1 mistakenly [16:39] Anyone know how to use tasksel in a script (it crashes at 100%)? [16:39] xsfr: I don't think so. [16:39] ubuntunut: well that is waht i thought too, but it dont seem so, does it? [16:39] i think hardy has a boost asio package, anyway to get it too work on gutsy? [16:39] Sandra24: sudo apt-get remove apache [16:39] genii: according to top, I'm running apache2 (6 processes at 111m a shot) I don't remember how I installed it now though [16:39] hardy has one? great! [16:40] fx|RabBit maybe we are just averse to answering someone with a bad attitude [16:40] fx|RabBit: Once again, I wouldn't know. You're the one with nautilus on your system. Look in /usr/doc/ for anythign related to nautilus [16:40] mirja,azexian,neverblue: Alsamixer fixed it .. I unmuted everything in playback ...thanks alot :) [16:40] Biohazard, what do you mean "great!"? [16:40] ubuntunut: i found nautilus-search-tool in google but that one requires libnautilus-extension instead of libnautilus-extension1... [16:40] kbs, np [16:40] Sandra24: Hmm. Did you have to do something like download, then ./configure then make or make install? [16:41] th0r: gawd yeah flame on... [16:41] how do I tar.gz specific folder using the tar command ? [16:41] xsfr: because gutsy has not. [16:41] fx|RabBit: You could try to install it anyhow. 'sudo aptitude install nautilus-search-tool' [16:41] genii: If I downloaded it, I probably have it saved on here still, let me look [16:41] Sandra24: If so, need to find the directory you did that in and do: make uninstall or: make clean [16:41] fx|RabBit: Could you tone down your attitude a bit... There are lots of people giving and getting help. Just because you make 4 posts in 4 minutes and dont get an immediate response does not mean we are not reading what you write. [16:41] ubuntunut: it doesnt "know" it [16:41] if i'm having trouble hibernating, what's a good bet for the thing that's broken [16:41] genii: I wouldn't have guessed that, thanks, I'm grateful for the help [16:42] Sandra24: np.. it is not an obvious thing [16:42] fx|RabBit: Try a 'sudo aptitude search nautilus search' [16:42] Biohazard, is there a way to get the hardy package to work on gutsy? [16:42] fx|RabBit: This will search the repos to see if the package is in there. If it isn't you'll have to install it on your own. [16:42] xsfr: I don't know. [16:42] Sandra24: It is best when possible to install a package instead of from source [16:43] genii: yes [16:43] genii: strange, I don't have it in my user directory, it must have been installed another way, I wouldn't have deleted that [16:43] ubuntunut: okay I think I should restart. My firewire hard drive that was working fine isn't showing up now when I plug it in. :( [16:43] Zaxxon: Hold up [16:44] ubuntunut: okay [16:44] I tried sudo aptitude remove apache2 as well, no luck [16:44] Zaxxon: Do what someone else suggested: In a command line, type 'tail -f /var/log/messages'. Then try plugging in your firewire and see if anything comes up in the terminal. [16:44] anyone know how i can turn off usb_suspend? [16:44] does it come standard with ubuntu gutsy? [16:44] ubuntunut: thx for the hint, but as i said it is not in there and i cant install it as i dont have the required libs and those seem to conflict with installed ones... [16:44] (server version) [16:44] okay [16:44] Sandra24: Well, a down-and-dirty way is to: sudo apt-get install --reinstall apache2; sudo apt-get remove apache2 (with --purge optionally) [16:45] waht i have problems in understanding with is, that this is such a simle functionality, i mean even windows can do that per default.. [16:45] Sandra24: It will force an install from package over the compiled version, then remove it [16:45] genii: I'm willing to try that at this point [16:45] привет [16:45] I want to use kde, but i only have ubuntu 7.10 with gnome. If i use synaptic to dl and install kde will it cause me any trouble? I dont like gnome but i cant download kubuntu cd on my internet connection. [16:46] fx|RabBit: A few things before you get totally angry: There are many different gui file system tools. nautilus is only one. [16:46] ошибка такая!!! Не могу смонтировать том [16:46] can someone help me please i cant get sound of my headphone jack [16:46] how do I set application shortcuts, so that Super-F opens firefox etc ? [16:46] что делать???? [16:46] Work needs me, expect lag for next bit [16:46] let's say - for the sake of argument - that my laptop is listed in the laptop test guides as beings able to hibernate. if we were further to assume that it hibernates fine under debian 40r2, why would it not be hibernating under feisty? [16:46] !ru | edward [16:46] edward: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [16:46] ubuntunut: nothings happening.. and that's with the drive that was working [16:46] fx|RabBit: In unix, people tend to stick to using the command line. try getting used to using 'locate' [16:47] donde estoy? [16:47] jamalf: do I have to restart apache everytime php.ini file is changed? [16:47] ubuntunut: hehehe i am not getting completely angry i am just shaking my head about missing simplest things in "standard" ubuntu default installations [16:47] sknh, Yes, you can pass "reload" instead of "restart" to apache, its faster [16:47] ubuntunut: and maybe amusing about 5 times irc police triggering gg [16:47] fx|RabBit: Well blame nautilus, not ubuntu is all I'm saying :P [16:48] jamalf: ok [16:48] ubuntunut: well ubuntu comes with nautilus, dont it?:P [16:48] ubuntunut: r u on kde or what? [16:48] fx|RabBit: If you install from the live cd, yes :). You could also instal kubuntu, fluxbox [16:48] fx|RabBit: I installed fluxbox over a cli install. [16:49] Zaxxon: Nothing at all happens? not even in dev? [16:49] ubuntunut: uhuh thx for the hint i actually havent even heard of that gg [16:49] fx|RabBit: Why can't you find the search menus? :o [16:49] Tomcat_: where are they?? [16:49] ubuntunut: yeah, something is up. like I said, the drive that was working isn't now. I think I need to restart, or refresh.. maybe logging off would work.. I don't know [16:50] fx|RabBit: Places menu in top panel (for files in general) [16:50] anyone knows when the ubuntu beryl would release? [16:50] there is no such thing as beryl [16:50] now [16:50] fx|RabBit: And deskbar/tracker search tool for home searches [16:50] ahh.. y? [16:50] its all compiz gusion [16:50] fusion [16:50] i saw in youtube and its cool.. [16:50] Zaxxon: You could try a reboot if you'd like. I'm kinda useless as I have no idea about firewire (don't use it). [16:50] beyu-: beryl merged with compiz. [16:51] whats with the compiz? [16:51] beyu-: go to #compiz-fusion for support [16:51] Zaxxon: I'd stick around in this room until you run into someone who has experience with running a firewire drive on ubuntu. [16:51] im newbie.. [16:51] beyu-: It's similar technology, but different projects, and they merged. [16:51] Tomcat_: hehehe yeah i heard of that one XD no seriously buddy what i want to do is click my rolling stone magazine best ever 500 rock songs directory and choose find to locate beachboys' stayin' alive [16:51] ubuntunut: I was figuring that if I plugged in the device that works, I could check the properties and see how it mounts? [16:51] ahh.. okay.. [16:51] hey I have this huge mp3 collection and I wanted a software that would automatically repair its id3 tags by getting info from the net [16:51] do you know [16:51] of such softwar [16:51] ? [16:51] Hi. The encrypted LVM option that ubuntu alternative(?) supports, can it be extended with new discs also encrypted later/after installation? [16:51] and see if it's a sda, or sdc or whatever [16:52] Zaxxon: That'd be one way to do it. [16:52] fx|RabBit: Well, you can use one of the mentioned tools, and they should give you an answer in seconds... it's not in nautilus though, you're right about that. [16:52] thnx Tomcat_ [16:52] beyu-: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beryl_%28window_manager%29#Beryl-Compiz_Merge <--- Read this [16:52] fx|RabBit: Just out of curiosity: Have you tried to install that nautilus search tool you found? [16:53] yey... thnx agin. [16:53] Tomcat_: and that is what i wanna accomplish;), besides that how do i actualize that database for the deskbar search? [16:53] fx|RabBit: If it's a .deb package you may have success [16:53] !mount [16:53] Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [16:53] Sandra24: Did that last try take? [16:53] hi [16:53] fx|RabBit: If you never changed your startup programs, it will be done automatically. === tyczek is now known as Tyczek [16:53] Hello =) [16:53] so can anyone help me with a software for mp3 auto tagging ? [16:54] fx|RabBit: About a search menu not being available... well, you need to change some behaviors when switching to Linux, unfortunately. :) [16:54] ubuntunut: of course i have, i have even tried to replace the libnautilus-extension etries in the configure script through libnaulilus-extension1 just for a try but that dont work either..

[16:56] Well I tried the reinstall/remove thing, the install/uninstall worked, but afterwards, apache2 is still there, healthy as ever [16:56] gxine [16:56] where might it be installed to? Maybe I can just remove the files [16:57] ubuntunut: so what filebrowser does fluxbox bring along? [16:57] realtek-linux-audiopack-4.07b.tar.bz2 this is what it saids [16:57] Pirloomi: downloaded from a website or from the repos? [16:57] I think Thunar comes with flux? [16:57] fx|RabBit: It doesn't. I usually just use the cli. If i'm feeling lazy I just use 'xfe' [16:57] does ubuntu use splashy for the startup splashscreen? [16:57] cli ftw [16:57] ubuntunut: okay other drive is showing up on desktop now. [16:57] from synaptic pack ...

[16:58] when i had windows i use the same but for windows [16:58] noodlesgc - thanks [16:58] !usplash [16:58] kale: what version ubuntu you running?

[16:59] actually, for now it's enough just to stop apache2 from starting up with the machine, how do you do that? something about /etc/init.d I thought [16:59] fx|RabBit: You can run "trackerd -R" to completely reindex. Had to do that once as wel. [16:59] noodlesgc: - it doesn't seem to be following that dialogue's assertion [17:00] Sandra24: sudo update-rc.d -f apache2 remove then just sudo update-rc.d -f apache2 defaults <-- i believe [17:00] Tomcat_: thx m8 [17:00] Sandra24: or just chmod -x /etc/init.d/apache2 [17:00] wait, is splashy the one for before the login screen or after the login screen?

So firewire drives appear under /dev/ as sd*s [17:11] ok [17:11] ubuntunut: okay [17:11] Zaxxon: Now, as default, ubuntu automounts devices when they're plugged in, thanks to "HAL". [17:11] i got to desktop [17:11] MrPink_: ffmpeg mencoder are two options that have been mentioned here before [17:12] <_mug> hi [17:12] Zaxxon: Try plugging in your other firewire. If it doesn't automount for you, you may be in trouble (as in your harddrive may be malfunctioning) [17:12] Seith type cd real and before you hit enter hit tab then enter [17:12] Zaxxon: You could look in /dev/ to see if anything appears under sda#, but if it doesn't, you're kinda SOL for now. [17:12] Zaxxon: Until you can test the firewire drive on another machine. [17:13] bazhang: ffmpeg and mencoder, so two seperate apps ? === x-spec-t is now known as Spec [17:13] HI does anyone use CDRW or DVDRW disks , formatted with UDF file system in read-write mode? [17:13] Zaxxon: To make the drive accessable to other users other than root, you'll need to change permissions with 'chmod' and/or 'chown'. Look those two commands up. [17:13] MrPink_, yes [17:13] Zaxxon: Like I said, that's kinda all the hints I can give you for now. I need to head out. [17:13] MrPink_: they are cli though [17:14] bazhang: cli ? [17:14] it said [17:14] Zaxxon: I apologize that I couldn't help you out 100%. If your drive isn't dead, it IS possible to mount it, and you WILL find an answer eventually. [17:14] MrPink_, command line interface [17:14] ash: cd/real: No such file or directory [17:14] \ [17:14] !cli [17:14] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[17:16] or does anyone know of a program to cut flv video...? [17:16] ubuntunut: when I plugged it in, my mouse froze and nothing would work., but I got an Unsafe device remomal when I turned it off [17:16] no [17:17] Will uninstalling the ubuntu-desktop metapackage remove Gnome and Xserver? [17:17] MrPink_, cut flv or change it to another format ? [17:17] Seith type cd into the terminal and dont press enter [17:17] hi guys! do you know if linux is able to read and write some directories compressed with windows' standard compression in ntfs partitions? [17:17] has anybody had a problem with the amd64 version with an ati resetting during install? [17:17] it wont let me click on the file now [17:17] ULTRADJ83, I do not. Have you tried? [17:17] Zaxxon: Sounds like something is screwy with the drive. [17:17] genii: thanks - ffmpeg and mencoder both worked well, though the man pages are terrifyingly sparse on what real world options are useful [17:17] Seith what file? [17:17] Zaxxon: But I need to head out. food and classes. [17:17] how strange [17:17] Ubuntunut: thanks for your help [17:18] Zaxxon: good luck. You will find the answer eventually :). Sorry I couldn't help more [17:18] help me how to make deb file? [17:18] ok i type cd no enter [17:18] ubuntunut: no, at least I'm on the right track [17:18] ubuntunut: have a good day! [17:18] Zaxxon: True enough. [17:18] Zaxxon: you too [17:18] Seith now drag and drop the folder you unzipped onto the terminal [17:19] secureboot: Yes, googling for examples of syntax is usually more enlightening :) [17:19] alcor, why do you want to make a deb file?

[17:23] falconer: a friend says it works! [17:23] 1) I can set my location to my school network ssid and restart and it will get dhcp, but starting on another location then changing, even if I do an /etc/init.d/networking restart, it wont connect [17:24] 2) Some, but not all windows start with their titlebars above the screen edge [17:24] on peers it says that connection estableshed but i dont upload anything to peers [17:24] genii: more specifically, googling for exact command usage (ala, you must use 24, 30, 60 fps for mpeg), even more than syntax [17:24] no [17:24] !macer freezing install [17:24] heh [17:24] MrPink_, edit. as we say, right ? [17:24] i try to go to my computer it would try to start but doesnt [17:24] this is the strangest thing. the 32bit version of ubuntu desktop boots fine but the 64 bit just restarts over and over === Vermux_ is now known as Vermux [17:24] genii: why there isn't a good graphical frontend that limits you to sane (read: workable) options is beyond me. It'd be pretty simple to do.

HELP pls [17:25] brb [17:25] secureboot: I suppose because most people that understand how the options work are not interested to a frontend [17:25] any drivers for ubuntu out there for the "creative network blaster wireless usb adapter model CW2231" [17:25] ? [17:25] how do you turn off tftp? [17:26] ugh.. to set up md i'd have to disable the nvraid [17:26] that would suck [17:26] ULTRADJ83. I think Ubuntu has pretty good ntfs support. I have an external disk drive with ntfs, and ubuntu reads and writes to it fine, although there are no compress files on it. [17:26] lagom: /etc/init.d/tftp stop, or something similar I guess [17:27] aoupi:thanks [17:27] well are there any drivers for the creative network blaster wireless usb adapter model CW2231?

HELP pls [17:28] lagom: you can always uninstal it [17:28] any1 can help? [17:28] lagom: or do you still want it installed but not running? [17:28] jenia maybe ISP is blocking? [17:28] MirJA: So any idea?

[17:29] ULTRADJ83, that I do not know. [17:29] Seit1 ok right click the tar.bz2 file and click "Extract Here" [17:29] lagom: I think it is "update-rc.d -f tftp remove", I'm sure someone else in here knows if it's correct or not [17:30] ULTRADJ83 --> look up ntfs-3g and compressed files.

[17:36] is there a program i can use to run sis files?

[17:37] (Which of course I could circumvent using sudo gedit, but I would hope there is an easier and more intuitive way, particularly if we're trying to take this project on the road to folks who aren't as comfortable in a terminal environment) [17:37] do you know of an emu for it? [17:37] !! [17:37] no, search for symbian in synaptic and see if there is anything there ;) [17:38] How do you enable XDMCP in 6.06 Dapper?

[18:32] vermux :p [18:32] hee [18:33] Vermux: doubtful, unfortunately. i hand-built a lot of systems around that time and both AMD/Intel stated that 400 W was a minimum for most systems [18:33] whatsuppp [18:33] primavera, have you enabled remote mysql access? [18:33] brobostigon:did you see that? [18:33] hey [18:33] Vermux: you can do the approximate math by just adding up the power requirements of the components (CPU, disks, motherboard, video card, etc) [18:33] Kirrus, nope, where do I enable it? my.cnf ? [18:34] OneMike: sorry, no, i was in the bathroom?? [18:34] Vermux: count on at least 25 W for a motherboard, maybe more [18:34] azexian, the search feature doesnt work,.,. i can see the file i made if i browse but the search still wont find it? [18:34] brobostigon:ok i have a secondary hard drive installed and i just installed ubuntu from windows and it says i have to force mount it cause it wasnt shut down properly i have a lot of important stuff on it and cant lose it will force mounting erase anything? [18:34] bod_ locate doesn't always work, if the search feature doesn't find it then it is a bug [18:34] The answer to doing a make and avoiding warnings being treated as errors is to edit the Makefile, and remove -Werror from $CFLAGS [18:34] primavera, yes... you need to change the bind address from 127.0.0.1 to the computers public address [18:35] primavera, or rather, the address you want mysql to listen on [18:35] azexian, anyway of fixing this bug? [18:35] Vermux: also, some power supplies degrade over time (and components in computers do as well) -- meaning that less power is generated for devices which pull more current [18:35] Vermux: could be that you were sitting at the edge before and, now, you're just over it [18:35] bod__ you have the folder, what is the issue [18:35] OneMike: i would check the hdd first(fsck), and then that might coorectthe errors so you can mount it cleanly. [18:35] there is a nice tool here for psu requirements: http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculator.jsp remember it's only a min [18:35] Kirrus, does it accept wildcards?, I need to use the server on multiple computers [18:36] i just switched from windows im looking for apps [18:36] azexian, no i have a folder of the same name which i created,.,. but i want to file the file vlc created when it was installed [18:36] Vermux: anyway, the easiest way to check is to get a little voltmeter to see if your +5V and +12V supplies dip [18:36] brobostigon: how do i do that cause im new to ubuntu [18:36] what are the best torrent and media players? like winamp and utorrent] [18:36] Kirrus, or should I another bind address line [18:36] wheres a good place to get themes for ubuntu? and how do i install them? [18:36] primavera, I'm not sure. But as long as you set the computer's ip address right, you can access it from any machine on that network [18:36] problem, my sound doenst work after i want to play a mp3 file, the intire programs shuts down [18:36] *should I add [18:36] <|REM|> how can i turn off the beep in gnokii. i have the sound muted, but if i am in the terminal and hit tab for a dir that doesnt exist, i get this beep pc speaker beep that is annoying me [18:36] nintendoteenager: run a google search for "best ubuntu applications" and you will find lots of lists with great apps [18:36] <|REM|> sorry not gnokii, ubuntu [18:36] cool thanks [18:37] I reccomend banshee for music and utorrent (through wine) [18:37] OneMike: in terminal type, fsck /dev/***, replacting the ** with its device name === benny_ is now known as crank [18:37] through wine?

[18:46] azexian: it mounts, but permissions are wrong [18:46] kale ok, is the folder setup correctly (the folder it mounts in) [18:46] ok ksiads,i'll try but last time it didn't work [18:46] kale: You need a folder on the mount which the user trying to write there can use [18:47] * azexian afk [18:47] Hey Folks.. [18:47] * azexian back [18:47] salam [18:47] azexian: how would i know if it is correct? === nandemonai_ is now known as nandemonai [18:47] azexian: should it have specific permissions? [18:48] how do you find info about which Display Driver is installed? [18:48] Eulex, I have a sdb1 partition which is hundreds of gigs, I think it was misconfigured since it shows up as ntfs and I dont see itunder mount. How can I use it to store data ? [18:48] ksiads, can't use synaptic package manager [18:48] Can anyone point me in the right direction to set up a server in 7.10, ( without installing the Server live cd ) [18:48] kale if you want your user to be able to write to it, then the folder needs to be the write permissons, do sudo chmod 777 to the folder in command [18:48] genii: so the user has to create /media/disk, BEFORE inserting the usbstick? [18:48] how do i do this im trying to install a game and its says to do tihs CD to the folder where [18:48] you have downloaded the .run file and type [18:49] anyone help! how do i update ubuntu? [18:49] Hey, I am wondering how the ttyX's are handled in a liveCD situation.. I've noticed that when the tty's are spawned they are passed /bin/login -f ubuntu, and I've done everything in my power just to make them exec /bin/login, gone so far as modifying the initramfs of the cd to write the config for the tty right on boot, but no matter what it automatically drops a shell.. and I want it to drop to login when I boot it [18:49] meaganicole, rm -rf / [18:49] j/k [18:49] How about Add Remove Applications? [18:49] what asdrubal [18:49] no! [18:49] meaganicole: this in an terminal sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [18:49] just kidding [18:49] azexian: when the usbstick is not plugged in, there is no /media/disk directory, how can i set the permissions then? [18:49] ciao [18:49] append: with /etc/event.d/ttyX [18:49] ksiads: run sudo synaptic in a terminal [18:50] server irc.cl [18:50] ok [18:50] meaganicole: DONT listen to asdrubal [18:50] !list [18:50] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [18:50] kale I see what you mean, when plugged in you could try that command with -r to make it do all the folders [18:50] !upgrade | meaganicole [18:50] meaganicole: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [18:50] so what do i type into the terminal to get the update rsk? [18:50] essentially I am trying to create a LiveCD distro that is console only... does anyone know of something pre-existing that is like that? [18:50] kale: No. /media/disk has same permissions as /dev/whateveritis that you are mounting, that is to say root. And it is re-created each boot this way. You need to make a folder inside of that like /media/disk/myname then make sure the persone "myname" owns that [18:50] meaganicole: what i said [18:51] azexian: yes, but this is vfat, hence it cannot remember the permissions, filesystem does not support it, so changing permissions on the device will not work [18:51] ArsonaL: the alternative cd is like that [18:51] ok pici [18:51] kale: Ah vfat [18:51] rsk: oh really. [18:51] azexian: permissions should be set when the system mounts it e.g. uid= or gid= [18:51] I've been having a strange problem lately. Basically anytime I transfer/download large files my mouse will start to get extremely laggy. I can't pinpoint when it happens exactly, I'm guessing after 200mb or so. Any ideas please? The only way to get it back to normal is to restart my entire system :( [18:51] arsonal there are lots like that [18:51] kale: Yes, mount options to determine uid or write mask then [18:51] kale ok [18:51] I tried building something custom with the Desktop version [18:52] genii: ok, but where do i place these mount options? [18:52] it worked well except for that whole executing login thing [18:52] CrazyWulf: can you run top or htop when this happens to see whats using up your CPU? [18:52] azexian: can you name some? [18:52] Yes, all resources are perfectly normal [18:52] arsonaL there are plenty, look on distrowatch [18:52] All applications run normal....It's just the mouse that's lagging [18:52] I have a sdb1 partition which is hundreds of gigs, I think it was misconfigured since it shows up as ntfs and I dont see itunder mount. How can I use it to store data ? [18:53] Nothing is using up the cup [18:53] kale: in the /etc/fstab [18:53] cpu [18:53] genii: so i set up the devices mounted by plugdev in fstab? [18:53] vermux did you try the other psu? [18:54] garr what irc client r u guys using [18:54] genii: and what if i add a new device, should i add an fstab line for every device i have? [18:54] m1xszeh, irssi, Xchat [18:54] Any ideas on what could be causing this mouse lag? [18:55] MirJA, thank you [18:55] np [18:55] kale that should be auto [18:55] azexian: it should be added to fstab automagically? [18:55] kale it should only really need to be tweeked, rairly re-writen [18:55] why were there no updates today? [18:55] kale: Only for the problemmatic ones usually. Adding the username to the group of plugdev may be useful here actually [18:55] kale yes [18:56] brobostigon: gparted wouldnt do anything [18:56] I run an Ubuntu mirror using debmirror with the switch: --dist=gutsy,gutsy-updates,gutsy-security,gutsy-proposed,gutsy-backports [18:56] ok, it has worked 'bout a year ago, and this is a regular usbstick, so i don't see what wrong here [18:56] I want to mirror hardy heron as well though [18:56] also user is added to grupd plugdev [18:56] Do I just add 'hardy' to that list or are there all the other sections for hardy as well? [18:56] sorry to group plugdev [18:56] I can't imagine the need for a hardy-backports for example. === m1xszeh is now known as m1xszeh_ === m1xszeh_ is now known as m1xszeh [18:57] kale, why not force it to mount somewhere, that you have preset to chmod 777, just as a trial, also, you might what to format to fat32 so that you can set permissions, I myself rairly play around with that kind of thing, as you should never need to [18:58] after a upgrade all my videos are in monochrome [18:58] is this a known issue? [18:58] azexian: what file would you chmod 777 ? [18:58] How do I specify a specific DNS server to use when querying a site? [18:58] kale the folder [18:58] without changing my global DNS settings in resolv.conf [18:59] can I add additional language support into Gaim? [18:59] benanzo: /etc/resolv.conf [18:59] hola [19:00] Yes I know but I don't want to change resolv.conf -- I just want to test resolving a URL using a certain DNS server, not changing my global settings === \Dj\Krit\ is now known as \Kritikal\ [19:00] hello, I'm looking for a program to record from line in directly to mp3, I don't care if it's gui or terminal. Any suggestions? [19:00] there is a tool to do it but I forget [19:01] benanzo: host [19:01] accessories --> multimedia --> sound recorder [19:02] what's the best way to install the latest version of nvidia legacy drivers? the ones that come with gutsy don't seem to support composite [19:02] J-W is that what you want? [19:02] pie-rate try envy [19:02] !envy | Pie-rate azexian [19:02] Pie-rate azexian: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [19:02] lol [19:02] Pici: that's what i was about to do [19:02] azexian: omg it does mp3 aswell, guess I subconsiously compared it to the crappy windows sound recorder :P *shame* thx [19:03] J-W_ lol [19:03] pici I could only use envy, I needed the latested drivers, but thanks for the thought [19:04] azexian: Im working on it [19:04] vermux ok =) [19:05] how do i install utorrent? [19:05] nintendoteenager: It's a Windows only app, so Wine. But there are other good alternatives. A popular one seems to be rtorrnet. [19:06] nintendoteenager: do a search in synaptic [19:06] nintendoteenager try deluge [19:06] nintendoteenager: Or try wine if you MUST have it. [19:06] !wine [19:06] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [19:06] im willing to try new apps [19:06] nintendoteenager: wine utorrent.exe [19:06] nintendoteenager rtorrent is console only app, deluge is similar to utorrent [19:07] what is console only? [19:07] nintendoteenager: rtorrent [19:07] nintendoteenager: Deluge is the best torrent program for linux [19:07] nintendoteenager: It's basically identical to uTorrent [19:07] cool ill google deluge [19:07] can i stop plugdev from taking care of my usb sticks? [19:08] Is there any downside to writing to an ntfs partition vs converting the partitiona and then writing to it [19:08] how do i install limewire on linux? [19:08] nintendoteenager: Azureus also works fine under ubuntu, but it requires a working java [19:08] Enron: What exactly are you trying to do? [19:08] meaganicole sudo apt-get install limewire-nonfree [19:08] !limewire [19:08] limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install /msg ubotu java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider /msg ubotu FrostWire as an alternative. [19:08] meaganicole: I recommend frostwire. Search on google, it works great on Ubuntu [19:09] !frostwire [19:09] MrObvious I just found that our Production server has more than half of it's HD space allocated to an NTFS partition [19:09] frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire. For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire [19:09] ok [19:09] hej /trejjs [19:09] Enron: So you want to resize it or what exactly? You could enable NTFS write support probably without too much consequence. If you are running an older Ubuntu install just install NTFS3G. [19:09] !ntfs3g [19:10] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [19:10] MrObvious i'm actually running debian [19:10] etch [19:10] Enron: Well this isn't #Debian. :p [19:11] Enron: But I'm sure Debian has NTFS support. [19:11] it has the same stuff but what i'm asking is basicly [19:11] is there problem writing to ntfs [19:11] whats LMME-1.0.zip? [19:11] No [19:11] vs formatting it and converting it to linux partition [19:11] like performance issue or anything else [19:12] Linux partition (ext3) is better [19:12] Enron: It's really not a problem as much as it used to be. Stability has improved, but speeds seem slower. I would format it as it seems slower anyway. [19:12] genii: what would i add to fstab? i could not know beforehand what devicenode or partition on the new device to use [19:12] EXT3 FTW! [19:12] hi every linux user [19:12] m_: Heeey [19:12] !hi | m_ [19:12] m_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [19:13] Enron: Why is it NTFS? Do Windows clients connect to it or is it strictly the operating system? There's not much of a need for NTFS unless you dual boot with Windows. [19:13] kale: you find the /dev name for it when it's plugged in and use that [19:13] it won't let me install frostwire [19:13] * MrObvious goes to lunch. :D [19:13] how can i get beryl?? [19:13] its says frostwire not supported [19:13] can anyone help [19:13] MrObvious it's our webserver that is used for users to upload files and store it etc.. [19:13] gksudo nautrilus? [19:13] not sure how that partition got there [19:13] could be from previous use [19:14] my microphone is not working in skype how do i test and install it in ubuntu? [19:14] m_: Beryl (Compiz) is already installed [19:14] genii: yes, but i need a general solution [19:14] m_: beryl is old and not devloped anymore get compiz, it's included by default in latest ubuntu [19:14] when i try to install deluge i get this Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libboost-date-time1.34.1 [19:14] gksudo nautrilus? [19:14] how can i use it? [19:14] m_: however you like [19:14] frostwire not working on ubuntu [19:14] my microphone is not working in skype how do i test and install it in ubuntu? [19:14] m_: Right click on desktop and press "change wallpaper" [19:14] meaganicole you need java installed, you got that? [19:15] i don't think so [19:15] yes and [19:15] m_: Then choose the effects tab [19:15] And enable it [19:15] how do i install java azexian? [19:15] no restrictions m_ unless that if you make codechanges you need to contribute them back cause of the GPL [19:15] need help [19:15] my laptop has this function button, when held down i can actually control the volume by pressing up or down arrow buttuns [19:16] or rather i could [19:16] now it somehow controls the line in and not the master volume anymore [19:16] how do i install java on ubuntu [19:16] gksudo nautrilus? [19:16] Hi everybody. I'm having the flash problem (launchpad #175255) and thinking of trying to fix it (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397).. no flash is pain in the ass [19:16] meaganicole: sudo apt-cache search java** [19:16] meaganicole: with synaptic is most easy [19:17] meaganicole-> apt-get install sun-java6-jre [19:17] meaganicole: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76702 [19:17] nintendoteenager: sudo apt-get install libboost-date-time1.34.1 (if I'm not mistaking) [19:17] my main concern is.. if I use the solutions offered on ununtu forums (the link).. will I still get future flash updates? [19:17] kale: The best general solution of course would be to use ext2 or ext3 [19:17] hi all, I'd like to know whether I can use my tv tuner card in ubuntu, but Google doesn't really help me. What's the least I need to test the card? [19:18] sh*t [19:18] or should I wait for the official fix? [19:18] won't let me do that either [19:18] hello, i tried to install the KDE env. from a Kubuntu live CD on a Ubuntu OS. (all gutsy) i did not succeed using apt-cdrom ...!! Some says it would work if i use an alternate ubuntu CD . Is this info reel ? [19:19] we take it slowly please . You set ""Right click on desktop and press "change wallpaper" ok? then? [19:19] gksudo nautrilus? is that right [19:19] blizzkid: what's the tuner card you have? [19:19] any preseeding experts? I'm trying to get ubuntu-server to install but language-pack-en and openoffice is pulled in anyway (and some X libs) [19:19] m_: If you are not reading what I'm writing, there is no point [19:19] I already told you [19:19] czr: are you installing from the disc?

[19:20] meaganicole: check google [19:20] gksudo nautilus [19:21] benanzo, no. only language-packs for it [19:21] check google ok [19:21] ta [19:21] nintendoteenager: ok then install deluge again, if I'm not mistaking you wil get another error (missing package) and after that it will work :) [19:22] I'm not sure why it would pull OO and X without a desktop environment [19:22] i do it but the answer is like this (Desktop effects could not be enabled) [19:22] benanzo, neither am I :-) [19:22] azexian: moment of truth [19:22] * MrObvious is back and ready to support people again [19:22] :D [19:22] m_ maybe you have an unsupported card [19:22] vermux lol, ok [19:22] which server version? [19:22] gutsy? [19:22] i'm new to linux and just typed netstat in a terminal. it looks like tons of connections but i have only 2 browsers connected [19:22] m_: Do you get any specific error? [19:22] J-W its giving me the same error i already tried installing it 3 times [19:22] i have intel [19:23] m_: Yes? [19:23] benanzo, yup. [19:23] no no [19:23] benanzo, although my preseed is a mishmash of various sources/experimentation [19:23] danonura: netstat will show connections to local sockets used for interprocess communication [19:23] oh ok [19:23] azexian: win is up [19:23] benanzo, but I'm pretty sure I'm not pulling desktop/oo on purpose, nor X [19:23] danonura: If you want you can put your netstat output to a pastebin and PM me the link and I'll help you see what's happening. [19:23] !pastebin | danonura [19:23] danonura: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [19:23] vermux so it was the psu you thinks? [19:24] MrObvious:cool thanks [19:24] running virtual box, for every guest OS I have to create a virtual disk? [19:24] Achoth: most of those are connections to yourself (they never leave your computer). The top few connections are usually the most important -- [19:24] azexian: sec, I'l reboot and check the bios [19:24] maybe i do fail? [19:24] vermux kk [19:24] Achoth: oops -- not you.. [19:24] czr: try 'aptitude why openoffice.org' to see why it's getting pulled in [19:24] my boot is hanging on loading manual drivers... [19:24] hello, i tried to install the KDE env. from a Kubuntu live CD on a Ubuntu OS. (all gutsy) i did not succeed using apt-cdrom ...!! Some says it would work if i use an alternate ubuntu CD . Is this info accurate ? thanks [19:25] benanzo, language-support-en depends openoffice.org-hyphenation [19:25] m_: Eh? [19:25] <|Quest|> if a distro gives a repository. is it 100% safe to use that repository? [19:25] m_: Tell me what error you get [19:25] azexian: the power fan speed is 1259 rpm [19:25] krept curious, you added an entry on grub for the device driver? what is the option? [19:25] MrObvious:i am at the pastebin link and where it says syntax, what should i put there [19:25] "$ gnomevfs-ls smb://md97600/freigegebenMD; ...config (Regular, application/octet-stream) size 11574 mode 0644." Why does Nautilus respond: "Error when copying. »config« could not be moved, because you have not the required access rights to read the object. OK"? [19:25] psycose: Just enable online resources using apt-get and forget about the CD-ROM. [19:25] nintendoteenager: when I installed deluge I first had to manually install liboost-date-time1.34.1, liboost-filesystem1.34.1 and liboost-thread1.34.1.. _after_ i installed those I was able to install deluge [19:26] error loading /lib/firmware/emu/hana.fw for device /class/firmware/0000:02:01.0 with driver emu10k1_audigy [19:26] danonura: Just copy the terminal output using copy/paste of netstat to the pastebin and submit it and PM me the resulting URL. [19:26] azexian: I think it is less than earlier? [19:26] what are the chances that I'll be able to get the visual effects working on my nvidia dual-head (that works correctly now) [19:26] vermux I think so yes [19:26] vermux teps? [19:26] ok [19:26] vermux temps* [19:26] i do not understand kan you tell me please how can i get beryl? [19:27] hello all [19:27] azexian: cpu 39.5 [19:27] benanzo, ah, I think I need to stop language packs explicitly (pkgsel/install-language-support boolean false) [19:27] m_: Are you completely ignoring my help? [19:27] azexian: mb 29 [19:27] !beryl | m_ [19:27] azexian: the 5 v is higher than earlier [19:27] m_: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [19:28] anyone know anything about psps [19:28] Anytime I try to start a gnome application it segfaults on a gettimeofday. Is there a known issue on this? [19:28] how do I to get working my external monitor on my laptop? [19:28] vermux sounds fine, have you still got kubuntu installed? can you try booting? [19:28] rafaelscj, gfx card? [19:28] Ah yes, that would fix it. I'm still wondering why OO doesn't depend on a window manager though [19:28] does anyone know anything about psps [19:28] vermux don't worry too much about the 5v reading [19:28] Samba share copy fails: http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/31278 -- Why? [19:28] azexian: unfortuntly I had to delete the kubuntu partition because I couldnt boot- it gave me grup error [19:28] not getting anywhere after *Loading manual drivers...

[19:29] <|Quest|> if a distro gives a repository. is it 100% safe to use that repository? [19:29] that makes sense [19:29] right klick on the disk then? [19:29] benanzo, it's weird. cause oo pulls a lot of stuff in. anyhow, I'm doing another install [19:29] i can't get the psp internet to work [19:29] J-W when i try to run those commands i get this E: Couldn't find package liboost-filesystem1.34.1 [19:29] I have 4GB memory in my computer, but ubuntu system monitor only says 3.2GB. Where is the rest? do i need to activate it somehow? [19:29] azexian: yes [19:29] benanzo, yeah, but that component pulled most of OO in as well (and a number of x11 libs and freetype because of x11, etc, etc :-) [19:29] |Quest|: Yes. [19:29] gtg [19:29] nintendoteenager: Do you mean the portable Playstation device? [19:29] yes [19:30] mrobvious:yes [19:30] Hi, i just tried ntlmaps in order to get around my work network proxy server, the cfg file was configured correctly but still nothing was working [19:30] does it try to grab any GTK libs? [19:30] no im trying to install deluge [19:30] nintendoteenager: Whoops wrong person. [19:30] benanzo, any idea on how to use the partman-auto to automatically use all of the disk, but use noatime on the / disk? (I've got the other bits working, but not the noatime) [19:30] <|Quest|> bullgard1 why so. is every distro safe. and its repos? [19:30] nintendoteenager: oh sorry its with 2 b's: libboost, that goes for all 3 packages [19:30] bardyr, any idea? [19:30] azexian: so u dont think I should mess with the bios flash now? [19:30] and the other problem i have i cant make Evolution connect to the Exchange server :( [19:30] meaganicole: You caught it lol. Well this isn't the support channel for it or anything. Sorry. [19:30] bye guys [19:31] ok [19:31] bye [19:31] Firestarter dies on me with "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" [19:31] vermux: its very dangerous [19:31] rafaelscj, i guess you can use display-gtk but it broke X on every laptop i have tried, im used to nvidia-settings :/ [19:31] MrObvious:i'm new to irssi and had to find out how to send pm. did it work? [19:31] azexian: vy the way, Ive noticed that the option to go to stand by mode in win is grayed out [19:31] czr: the only way I can think is remount with noatime after installing [19:31] i don't care if you look at it right now just wondering if pm went through [19:32] benanzo, but manually partitioning allows one to select the noatime flag.. [19:32] vermux: I'm not quite sure why that would be, it might be your mobo doesn't support it though [19:32] danonura: Got it! [19:32] |Quest|: Yes, every major distribution is save and in particular the Debian and Ubuntu repositories are very safe. [19:32] cool [19:32] thanks [19:32] benanzo, but I guess that'd undo all the automatic magic of "use one partition for everything". bleh ;-) [19:32] * czr wants a working kickstart for ubuntu [19:32] right [19:32] danonura: Ok. Looks normal to me. Do you have firefox running? [19:32] azexian: maybe I forgot to connect a cable somewhere? [19:32] MrObvious:yes [19:32] is there another way to go around M$ isa server? besides ntlmaps [19:32] azexian: ^ [19:32] MrObvious:2 instances [19:33] benanzo, funny thing now is that installing the kernel takes about half of the total time of the whole install (building the initramfs) [19:33] MrObvious:thanks [19:33] danonura: Use tabs instead. CTRL+T opens a tab, CTRL+W closes it. It's much more useful.. [19:33] !mp3 [19:33] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [19:33] benanzo, but no more language packs. \o/ [19:33] vermux possibly... [19:33] or hmm. maybe I spoke too soon. [19:33] vermux I wouldn't worry about that now though [19:33] MrObvious:you mean in firefox? [19:33] !ogg [19:33] azexian: ok I boot with the live disk. I c kubuntu menu. I think I'll go with the regular install meanning: start or Install kubuntu [19:33] xplozion, wine the windows client :D [19:34] bardyr: does that actually work? :P [19:34] benanzo, have you tried preseeding hardy yet? [19:34] saxin, probably not :D [19:34] hehe [19:34] damn :/ [19:34] I have problems with ISA-server too [19:34] No not Hardy [19:34] saxin, but there should be some ISA client/hax for linux [19:34] benanzo, maybe I'll take a stab at it later [19:34] azexian: or to go without the splash thing like yesterday? [19:34] bardyr: where can I get some more information? [19:34] although pulling the hardy repo over 2Mbit link is just too painful [19:35] it's not really useful for me yet, too much debug code still [19:35] bardyr: I want it as easy as I can get it, please. :-P [19:35] bardyr, havent try that, but i rather a linux way. [19:35] how can i test my microphone in ubuntu? === Baroudeur is now known as OutLawZ`Yaki [19:35] in skype it's not working [19:35] saxin, google is probably the best bet [19:35] benanzo, I've installed the server couple of times. some small snags, but works quite well (suprisingly so). desktop I hear is much more borken [19:35] vermux no need, that was only because it was crashing [19:35] danonura: Also, go to addons.mozilla.org and install the addons Adblock Plus, WOT, No-Script, and Greasemonkey to improve browsing security. Adblock Plus blocks any advertisements as I see you have an open connection to an ad server which is a privacy issue. WOT helps you identify unsafe sites. Greasemonkey disables unfriendly scripts and Noscript is designed for disabling Javascript. You'll have to allow individual sites with it and i [19:35] t might disable some features until you enable the specific site but it helps you out. Also yes use tabs in Firefox. It's much better and is one of the greatest browsing features around. I know a few more Firefox addons and tricks but we can take it to PM. [19:36] bardyr: I have tried following some "how-to", but I fail everytime :-/ [19:36] vermux just the regular [19:36] Hi, Im trying to setup a webserver, Im just wondering if there is anything I can read about setting up the correct group information for users when uploading files. [19:36] bardyr: you know if ISA-problems have been worked on @ hardy? [19:36] azexian: ok. There is a bug in the graphics when Kubuntu is uploads [19:36] MrObvious:i got adblock plus last night lol [19:36] saxin, i guess you can use a virtual windows to connect to it and then reroute it trough ssh but its kinda nasty [19:36] Isn't there a new web based administration panel for Hardy server? [19:36] I thought I read that a few weeks ago [19:36] vermux you mean it goes out of sync? [19:36] MrObvious:but not the others you just mentioned [19:36] bardyr: heh, i believe you :-P [19:36] benanzo, hmm. maybe. [19:36] danonura: Yeah those other extensions will help. [19:37] can somebody help me out with the looking glass wm? [19:37] benanzo, haven't seen it (it didn't jump at me) [19:37] MrObvious:nice, thanks [19:37] !anybody | czr [19:37] czr: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [19:37] azexian: no, there is double line( the line that shows the progress [19:37] Hello. I'm on gutsy. How to set-up QT aplications look? Like colors, etc. [19:37] danonura: YW. I've got PM open if you want a few more tricks as this is starting to get off topic. [19:37] * czr MrObvious what does that relate to? [19:37] azexian: ok, I got to go now, I will continue shortly [19:37] vermux oh yeah... that happens sometimes, just ignore it [19:37] bleh. wanted to /msg :-) [19:37] !bliss [19:37] saxin, samba should be able to handle ISA [19:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about bliss - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:38] vermux ok [19:38] azexian: are u staying here? [19:38] Mind if I toss in a question about dual-booting? Grub is giving me fits (or maybe Windows...) with dual booting Windows and Ubuntu, each on their own separate drives [19:38] bardyr: in 8.04? [19:38] czr: Ask your real question. [19:38] saxin, its probably hell to configure but you only need to do it once [19:38] nice [19:38] eBox [19:38] saxin, gutsy should work too [19:38] MrObvious, I have no question [19:38] that's what it is [19:38] how can i test my microphone in ubuntu?

[19:39] benanzo, works now, thanks for the hints/confirmation [19:39] vermux yes, soz, many convo's :P [19:39] czr: Whoops wrong person sorry.

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [19:39] vermux I will be here for a bit :) [19:39] lol [19:39] MrObvious, np :-). [19:40] saxin, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/isa-client-for-linux-265924/ its kinda thin but if it gets your there [19:40] So I just did a dist-upgrade, and my computer froze during the upgrade. Now GRUB won't load and fails with "Error 17". Help? [19:40] I know, I know, I know.. But I don't have a much more specific question than that atm [19:40] whenever i try to use ffmpeg with ffmpeg -i FlashNo3F5u.flv -ab 56 -ar 22050 -b 500 -s 320x240 game1.mpg, i get the output FlashNo3F5u.flv: I/O error occured Usually that means that input file is truncated and/or corrupted.........but the flv plays fine so its not corrupted, any idea whats going on?

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

[19:44] <|Quest|> azexian pvt? [19:45] seems to me to be a quicker, easier and more user-friendly approach than to yell at everybody who uses a !command in the channel [19:45] MrObvious: Right, that solution didn't work at all. All my HDs are detected and already on Auto. [19:45] |quest| I went onto the channel, pvt chat if you would prefer though :) [19:45] where i can check preferences into mozilla? [19:45] filthpig: Some users aren't registered on freenode and I don't think they can use PMs. [19:46] <|Quest|> azexian when did you went there [19:46] still you request them to msg ubotu? [19:46] hmm. any hints where to find the preseed files used on the various "versions" of ubuntu cds? (without downloading the ISOs). [19:46] where's the logic? [19:46] |quest| I'm in there now === Q_Continuum_ is now known as Q_Continuum [19:46] filthpig: IIRC an unregistered user in here asking a question wouldn't get it.

[19:47] cleaton: Sure > ~/Desktop/test-it.txt [19:48] MrObvious, an unregistered user can't send pm's, but should be able to receive them from a registered user, so pm's from ubotu should get through to everyone [19:48] dgjones: Noted. [19:48] How do i do a system upgrade using apt-get? [19:48] Jack_Sparrow, i mean where inside the text file [19:48] but I assume most users -are- registered and will get it. registering is free and takes approx 1 minute to complete, and one could always do like !question | #channel or something to that effect [19:48] Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat' [19:48] cleaton: as in >> append [19:48] when testing microphone [19:49] BetaTest: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade I believe.

[19:49] is there any way of not having to do /msg NickServ IDENTIFY *********** evertime i use iirc? [19:49] cleaton: This is not really the place for that... Perhaps, #Ubuntu-offtopic [19:49] bod_, add it to autoperform when you sign on [19:49] bod_: Many irc clients allow you to auto-identify [19:49] in xchat [19:50] bod_: In the server listing (XChat -> Network List), look under server password or nickserver password under Freenode. [19:50] could someone put the files in the ./preseed/ directory of gutsy installation CD somewhere? (pastebin is fine) [19:51] i have a server to be and im thinking of using ubuntu any tips and i have questions also [19:51] Is there someone here with a more advanced level of experience with repairing or configuring Grub to boot Windows XP Professional that resides on a seperate drive?

[19:53] m_: /j #Comipiz sorry [19:53] i want a graphical [19:53] =) [19:53] where i am supposed to check those preferences [19:53] joh, text by default. [19:53] czr: Great, thanks [19:53] newusergreen: look at ebox [19:53] newusergreen, ubuntu server edition [19:53] ebox? is it ubuntu? [19:53] !ubotu ebox [19:53] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See the plans for Hardy at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EboxSpec [19:53] joh, you can install the desktops later on if you so wish. [19:53] joh: its text based for security [19:53] yeah ebox [19:54] ok thanks ill look into it [19:54] good_dana: Type next time !factoid > username and it'll send it in an PM to the user. :) [19:54] I just found the article I read it in [19:54] please do not be angry i can't understand english (just a little) [19:54] MrObvious: thanks i was trying to do that, i just forgot how hahaha [19:54] how can i add the DHCP server at boot time ? [19:54] good_dana: And let them know about reading the PM. [19:54] reeeh2000, not for security [19:54] m_: Which language? [19:54] m_, maybe you should try #ubuntu-se ? [19:54] assyrian [19:54] reeeh2000, text mode installers can be insecure you know. [19:54] czr: I just need a LiveCD without X to fix my broken system... [19:54] oh, heh. nm. [19:55] joh, ah. but the server version is not a livecd. [19:55] joh: you can boot into recovery mode using the ubuntu server disk [19:55] kbrooks: i know, but its a good idea since gui are more accesable, you have to know what your doing with a text based system [19:55] czr: Oh... [19:55] good_dana: The ubuntu server CD that is? [19:55] good_dana: Problem is, GRUB won't load at all. [19:55] m_: Wow that's crazy. Where do you live that you use that language? [19:55] reeeh2000, im sorry ... [19:55] ah, maybe good_dana is right. I normally use knoppix in runlevel 2 for that stuff (over pxe) [19:56] is there anyway to build a ubuntu system optimizes for multiple systems (i installed ubuntu on a USB drive and want to swap it between different computers).... i need to to automatically configure devices on boot [19:56] kbrooks: no prob [19:56] how difficult is it to learn the ubuntu terminal? to work on the server [19:56] well [19:56] reeeh2000, no, "im sorry" as i don't understand [19:56] how hard is it to use text based os [19:56] newusergreen, not THAT hard [19:56] czr: I'll try knoppix aswell then if ubuntu doesn't work. [19:56] newusergreen, not very if you're willing to spend time learning/trying things out [19:56] newusergreen, may i please educate you? [19:57] so lets say i want to use my old ntfs drives? [19:57] I've been having a strange problem lately. Basically anytime I transfer/download large files my mouse will start to get extremely laggy. I can't pinpoint when it happens exactly, I'm guessing after 200mb or so. Any ideas please? The only way to get it back to normal is to restart my entire system :( [19:57] newusergreen, when you learn the basics its the easiest thing in the world and the best thing in the world [19:57] newusergreen, uh, use the "ntfs-3g" package [19:57] newusergreen, and dfo something like this at the terminal to use it with a ntfs partition: [19:57] where in the special characters list of the ubuntu word processor can I find a small sine wave symbol?

[20:28] someone knows how to disable the spindown with sdparm? [20:28] what is the program that checks for automatic updates called? [20:28] i need to disable it for a external hd [20:28] kale, update manager? [20:28] NO ENTIENDO NDA [20:28] BYWE [20:28] leila: well it is more an acpid issue than hdparm, but hdparm can do it [20:28] bye [20:28] bod_: its an icon in the gnome menu, a little ball, red or green i think [20:28] leila, what kind of external hd is it? [20:28] PAULINDA: Go to #ubuntu-br :) [20:29] bod_: it checks for updates itself [20:29] bascule, not working =( [20:29] bascule: hdparm give me an erroe [20:29] i can't se where is Compiz-Fusion?!!!!!!!!!!! [20:29] kale, i dont seem to have that,. [20:29] leila: sudo it [20:29] ubotu: i did that and got no reply [20:29] czr: wester digital [20:29] m_: Did you do that sudo apt-get command from earlier? [20:29] ubotu: its in yer history if you need to see it [20:30] leila, I mean what interface does it connect with? USB? [20:30] flea: Ubotu is a bot. [20:30] i talk bot [20:30] czr: yes, usb [20:30] how would one mount a harddrive from the CLI? [20:30] leila, then spindown control is not possible with sdparm [20:30] m_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion [20:30] bascule: of couse, error using sudo [20:30] leila, some usb drives expose the functionality using proprietary HID extensions over USB, but I don't know any tools for linux for those. [20:30] flea, i dont think ubotu likes you very much,.,. he's ignoring you,.,.lol [20:31] YouKnowMe: mount /dev/hdX /mnt/place or mount/dev/sdX /mnt/place for SATA drives. [20:31] leila, what if you make a small cronjob that reads the disk once a minute? [20:31] YouKnowMe: Try man mount and also Google for more info. [20:31] leila, it's a hack, but it might be just enough [20:31] Try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras in a terminal [20:31] czr: sync is safer, but good thinking [20:31] m_, go here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion [20:32] Hi all.. I wonder if there's any simple way to remove all non-default files without doing a reinstall!? [20:32] czr: so it's impossible to disable with hdparm or sdparm [20:32] leila, yes [20:32] m_: Ok now go System -> Preferences -> Appearance and push the last tab under Effects or Desktop Effects. [20:32] leila, since USB storage devices use only the USB storage profile (kind of "standard") and it doesn't support spindown or anything else but reading and writing blocks. [20:32] leila: it could be in the external drives controller its self [20:32] i put it in terminal and the terminal download it but i don't know where is? [20:33] leila, getting error/diagnostics info is also impossible because of the same reason (with smartctl) [20:33] czr: ah ok [20:33] is there a comedy channel? [20:33] or a joke channel? [20:34] czr: the solution is to write a script that try to read the hd every 3 min? [20:34] leila, what you want is a small script that guarantees spin-up (easy enough to test) [20:34] believ me it is difficault to me give me a time please to search as you say [20:34] leila, yeah. you might want to do a small write as well. and a sync after the wrote. or bypass the kernel read cache. [20:34] Say I must specify filesystem type. Its fat32 [20:34] czr: yes [20:35] MrObvious, its say I must specify filesystem. Its fat 32 === Keigo-kun__ is now known as Keigo-kun [20:35] leila, if you know programming, you might want to write a small program instead. since cronjobs are logged to syslog each time they execute [20:36] I've been having a strange problem lately. Basically anytime I transfer/download large files my mouse will start to get extremely laggy. I can't pinpoint when it happens exactly, I'm guessing after 200mb or so. Any ideas please? The only way to get it back to normal is to restart my entire system :( [20:36] the problem is the my ubuntu is not english it is swedish language [20:36] czr: ok, thank you.. i will write this small program [20:36] YouKnowMe: There's an option in man mount for that. I'm not just going to spoon feed the answer because that's cheating. No offense or anything but the best way to learn Linux is to learn where to find answers to simple questions like this. [20:37] czr: i'm going to write, thanks ... bye [20:37] YouKnowMe: I had this happen to me and it's how I learned. :) [20:37] leila, np [20:37] CrazyWulf, im only ansering because no-one else is,. but il try and help,.,.lol,.,. has this always happened? [20:37] leila, I actually consider the spindown on mybooks a nice feature :-). not all usb disks have spindown [20:37] Yes, first time it happend was during the initial updates [20:37] Anyone know is their a list of all the best console based apps for linux or lightweight apps? [20:37] CrazyWulf, how many people r on ur network? [20:38] Just one other box [20:38] CrazyWulf, braodband speed? [20:38] Yes [20:38] CrazyWulf, what speed is ur broadband? [20:38] No one who got any idea if its possible to "cleanup" the complete system of nondefault packages? [20:38] 5.- [20:38] CrazyWulf: Wow strange problem. :\ [20:39] schizo: Maybe sudo apt-get autoremove will remove unneeded packages. [20:39] CrazyWulf, download limits? [20:39] Nope [20:39] I don't see how that would effect my mouse even if there was? [20:39] CrazyWulf, can u recreate the problem at leisure? [20:39] I also use deborphan to get rid of the rest [20:39] but one needs to be careful with deborphan [20:39] Yes, if I download a large file it will happen [20:40] problem is not unneeded.. I would like to do a refresh.. And I'd prefer not to reinstall.. :) [20:40] CrazyWulf: What is the hard drive usage like when you get those huge downloads? That's certainly a possibility that the hard drive is being used too much and lagging the system. [20:40] could be a non-DMA drive as well. [20:40] MrObvious: The rest of the system is running perfectly. All apps and such are not affected by it [20:40] hmm is deborphan self explanatory? [20:40] All resources are normal, cpu usage is next to nothing [20:41] schizo, it comes with a manual page :-). it lists the package names which are not depended upon by any other package [20:41] Even after the downloading, the mouse still lags [20:41] CrazyWulf: How new is this sytem and the hard drive? [20:41] schizo, but you should start with autoremove first. it's safe. [20:41] CrazyWulf: How much RAM do you use? [20:41] CrazyWulf, after the lag begins,.,. wot happens if u disconnect-reconnect the mouse? [20:41] It's not the greatest system, HDD brand new [20:41] Only has 512MB ram [20:41] If I disconnect and reconnect the mouse, the mouse will no longer respond [20:42] ok.. I kind of figured my mission was impossible.. would like to remove all packages that doesn't come default during the installation. :) I'm having bcm43xx issues :) [20:42] I'm betting it's a hardware problem. Maybe run Memtest? [20:42] CrazyWulf, ah,.,. not good,.,. [20:42] Desktop effects could not be enabled!!!!!!! but why? [20:42] m_ do u have a graphics card installed? [20:42] yes [20:42] schizo: What exact BCM chipset? [20:42] is it possible for a person to make a driver? can you take a driver from a simular divice and make some changes that might make the driver work with your own device? [20:43] m_ do the drivers work? [20:43] bcm4312.. [20:43] Hmm. [20:43] Any ideas on what could be causing this problem? It would be one thing if it was *just* the network card or *just* the mouse [20:43] MonctonJoe, someone has to make the driver in the first place so ,., yes [20:43] I don't see any connection between the two though [20:43] schizo: ndiswrapper or bcm43xx-fwcutter? [20:43] everything is working great [20:43] Hello. I'm on gutsy. How to set-up QT aplications look? Like colors, etc. [20:43] CrazyWulf: IRQ sharing [20:43] bod_: do you know of a group or person who is into making drivers? [20:43] had it working fine in gutsy using fwcutter,, did an upgrade to hardy and now I just cannot get it working [20:43] CrazyWulf, is it 1 particular download or any download? [20:44] Any download or transfer [20:44] MonctonJoe: the linux kernel developers [20:44] MonctonJoe, it is possible, however it requires a lot of knowledge if the devices are even slightly different. [20:44] MonctonJoe, nope,.,. nvidia,.,.lol,.,. just know that its possible,. IF u could get the original code [20:44] CrazyWulf: My guess is the RAM is unstable or something and it's causing the system to mess up the mouse. [20:44] Hmm [20:44] CrazyWulf, i think MrObvious might be right,. run a memtest on your machine [20:44] schizo: Ahh. Isn't Hardy in development? You might wanna downgrade until it works again. [20:45] MonctonJoe, and if they're similar enough, you wouldn't need to modify/write a driver for them since the existing ones would work just fine. [20:45] Ok I'll give it a try [20:45] thanks [20:45] well, I cant find a driver for my printer, but there is a windows driver for it and some linux drivers for printers that are very close to mine [20:45] bod_: I specialize in hardware problems because I visit an overclocking site and know a lot about hardware problems since people are always having unstable overclocks. lol [20:45] CrazyWulf: YW [20:45] MrObvious, cool [20:45] привет [20:46] MrObvious, you could always just buy motherboards with VIA chipsets [20:46] кууууллл [20:46] я лоооммм [20:46] ))) [20:46] how can i run compiz-fusion without xgl? i am running an nvidia 7900gtx, i installed nvidia drivers through envy, compiz wont load without xgl, but nvidia's drivers wont run with xgl running... help? :) [20:46] t1me2z, #ubuntu-ru please [20:46] Yes.. very much in developement.. :) I guess I'll have to do a downgrade.. I'd rather not though. :) I'll keep at it.. thanx anyways. [20:46] !ru [20:46] ееее [20:46] I'm having a problem with my my mouse pointer on my thinkpad, it seems to lock into scroll mode. I think this is a gnome/x problem of some sort. It started last night and I thought it was the logitech wireless mouse I was using, but now it's undocked and I'm seeing similar behavior with the touchscreen and keyboard eraser-thingie. [20:46] ok it is not så big problem ,,,,,,,,,,i just want to test the 3d beryl or comipiz but i tell you i have windows and linux both and it is great [20:46] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [20:46] my ubuntu work grate [20:47] czr: VIA chipsets suck for overclocking. A solid one would do better. For stock VIA is okay, but I prefer better quality hardware. [20:47] )) [20:47] !enter > t1me2z [20:47] bascule: is it possible for a person to get in touch with linux kernel developers? [20:47] MrObvious, I never overclock and still run into hw bugs with VIAs ;-) [20:47] MrObvious, I was trying to be ironic ;-) [20:47] Oh [20:47] It's hard to tell irony/sarcasm on the Interwebs! [20:47] have someone from Florida? [20:47] <__mikem> i'm from florida [20:47] t1me2z: What do you want? [20:48] * czr gives MrObvious a spool of Fe [20:48] can anyone help me? [20:48] coolll maybe drom Destin? [20:48] czr: Iron? [20:48] !anyone > xbot_ [20:48] MrObvious, yup. the principal ingridient of irony. [20:48] czr: Ahh lol. [20:48] MrObvious, ur pipes r not working [20:49] Help? [20:49] MrObvious, how can i run compiz-fusion without xgl? i am running an nvidia 7900gtx, i installed nvidia drivers through envy, compiz wont load without xgl, but nvidia's drivers wont run with xgl running... help? :) [20:49] I'm the only person logged in to the machine, but "uptime" shows 2 users! [20:49] xbot_, restricted drivers [20:50] alpaco, u and root [20:50] puff: Hmm. I wonder if something went unstable. I really don't know. :( [20:50] Hi guys, ive got a zip with drivers in it, how can I install them/what extention are linux drivers? *using server so need to use commands* [20:50] alpaco: are you logged in on a terminal and the desktop? [20:50] bod_, it says that they are running but when i try to access nvidia-settings it says that they are not [20:50] yes, but it now shows 4 users [20:50] MrObvious: Thanks anyway... speaking of unstable, lately I've been noticing my laptop seems less stable - starting to feel like windows. [20:50] gnome desktop and 1 xterm [20:50] solexious: unzip for the ZIP file. [20:51] MrObvious: I'm probably overdue for a dist-upgrade...I'm still on feisty, too. [20:51] puff: Maybe run Memtest for about 3 hours? [20:51] puff: Nah I'd do a resh install. [20:51] *fresh [20:51] Does anyone here use Gnome in ubuntu? I'm trying to figure out why a task i take for granted is missing. When I want to upload pics I can only see a list view and not a thumbnails view. Anyone have a solution to this? [20:51] ikonia: hello! [20:51] Starnestommy: I have one xterm open but "uptime" shows 4 users and "who" shows 2 users [20:51] offload: You mean in Nautilus? [20:52] a bit offtopic, but how can i test if the user have root access in perl ? [20:52] offload Nautilus [20:52] ??? [20:52] Hi All what is a good script I can use to scrub excell files with? [20:52] yeah I guess. Sorry [20:52] I'm trying to install vmware player, but I cannot get the networking to work. When I run the vmware-config.pl I get this output: [20:52] Building the vmnet module.

[20:53] thanks! [20:53] I mean: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53225/ :/ [20:54] m_: Maybe have a fluent English speaker when you come back to translate [20:54] aufwidersehen [20:54] bye [20:54] MrObvious: Now that *really* sounds like windows :-) [20:54] MrObvious, that didn't do it. I'm talking about when you are in the file upload dialog box. The gnome explorer only allows you to see list of file name and not previews of the files. As in I want to send pictures via email or upload a photo to myspace. Things like that. [20:54] I have only one xterm window open, but "uptime" shows 4 users and "who" shows 2 users!! [20:55] ok guys good bye [20:55] what's going on? [20:55] I mean Nautilus [20:55] puff lol [20:55] alpaco: it's likely some programs are being run as root or specially-created users for certain background processes [20:55] how do I get Ubuntu to not start the graphical start thing with the progress bar, I just want text [20:56] offload also View >> View as Icons will reset it in the GUI [20:56] Starnestommy: thanks [20:56] qbert: change "quiet splash" to "nosplash" in /boot/grub/menu.lst [20:56] qbert: Hit escape on boot and select recovery mode [20:56] MrObvous: what do I do after unzipping? [20:56] puff: Well it would make it stable. It's not uncommon for Linux to get messed up when learning to get wiped out several times before getting the hang of it. But if you have bad hardware and can replace it and get stable again then you should be able to just upgrade normally. [20:56] solexious: What kind of driver is it? [20:57] its for a raid pci card [20:57] not sure what file it is as i dont know the ext for driver files [20:58] *linux drivers that is* [20:58] solexious: usually .so or .ko, but they sometimes don't have pne [20:58] solexious: Which RAID PCI card in particular? Where did you get the drivers? [20:58] *one [20:58] solexious: Try giving me a link to read a manual or something so I can help you out. [20:58] its a generic one, dl them from the place i got it from [20:58] hmm. any idea how to force apt-get to apply all updates (barring conflicts)? [20:58] pming you [20:58] hey, is there a xchat plugin for "playing music" ? [20:59] czr: Which deb is errant? [20:59] ubuntuo: you may want to ask #xchat [20:59] ok [20:59] thanks [20:59] czr: I would see about fixing the errant package instead of forcing it. [20:59] czr: I need to ask.. did you EVER try to run automatix or envy.. (Both bad ideas) [20:59] MrObvious, err. I'm still doing the preseeding thing. after installing the system, update-manager says that there are 6 packages with security fixes. I want to apply them automatically while installing. [20:59] Jack_Sparrow, no. [21:00] maybe I wasn't clear enough. these are regular ubuntu packages from repo. [21:00] Jack_Sparrow won't that cause boot errors? [21:00] czr: So you're doing an upgrade and have security fixes? Finish the upgrade first. [21:00] just they're not automatically installed when installing the desktop. [21:00] * czr sighs [21:00] czr: Common to see people having problems with upgrade after they have tried that script [21:01] sorry I missed it, where was the grub entry for nosplash ? [21:01] czr: Do a post-install directive then of apt-get update [21:01] Jack_Sparrow i was told in no uncertain terms that automatix will break your shiny new upgrade [21:01] is ubuntu trying to take over redhat? [21:01] czr: in-target of course [21:01] wyclif: THe list of problems it can cause are endless.. [21:01] genii, yeah, but how to force it (normally it's interactive and asks whether to do the updates). [21:01] czr: usually -y or so [21:02] wyclif: I agree with that... [21:02] genii, ah. that simple. I'll try that. thanks. [21:02] my teenage cousin ran automatix. it made his video card flicker rather badly [21:02] jack_sparrow: how many years have you worked with linux? [21:03] genii, I'm still wondering why the netboot-based install doesn't automatically install the newest available versions of all packages. [21:03] ubuntuo: About 15 total.. but this is offtopic.. fyi [21:03] Jack_Sparrow: wow thats a lot [21:03] :) sorry [21:03] i agree :) [21:03] solexious: That's the Windows drivers. D'oh. [21:03] czr: Because it strives for stable. [21:03] czr: Because the default dist type is Stable and not Testing or Experimental (in Debian terms) [21:03] Jack_Sparrow by my count that's only 4 years after teh original kernel ;-) [21:03] or Unstable [21:03] argh. they're security update versions.. [21:04] wyclif: I started programming in assy back in '79 [21:04] dapper's preseed/netboot did it correctly. [21:04] gutsy's doesn't. [21:04] wyclif: USD Pascal in the late 60's... yes.. I am old [21:05] Jack_Sparrow wasn't that also peak time for FORTRAN and COBOL??? [21:05] wyclif, that didn't fix it. Let me be more detailed. I'm in firefox, and am in the "FILE UPLOAD" window. But it only shows lists. Inside that window there is no ability to choose view as thumbnails. So I close firefox open a regular folder window and make sure it's set to thumbnails and reopen firefox and still the same thing. list view only in a file upload window within firefox.

[21:35] is there a "linux way" to mount a remote folder on a linux system? samba seems like a detour to windows land..

[21:46] what is the relationship between gnome-session and metacity? [21:46] !pm > sladen runemaste644 [21:46] Anyone know a good tutorial or howto on configuring bind on gusty gibbon? [21:46] dusty-sts: what do you want to do with bind ? [21:46] ubuntuo: Where is the iPod mounted to? [21:46] Drive E: [21:46] its USB MrObvious [21:47] ubuntuo: Uhh are you in Windows or Linux? [21:47] Hi will there be a 6.06.2 DESKTOP version? [21:47] ikonia, i want to host a domain i bought, www.blah.co.uk [21:47] im on ubuntu right now [21:47] * sladen raises an eyebrow at MrObvious === UnknownUnivers1 is now known as UnknownUniverse [21:47] bkar: metacity just gives you the window borders mostly, gnome-session gives you everything else [21:47] UnknownUnivers1: No, we're on 7.10 [21:47] i tried to do it from my Ubuntu [21:47] dusty-sts: you know you need 2 static IP addresses to host a domains records, yes/no ? [21:47] i've got a problem with flash, every time i want to watch some sort of flash movie my browser or media-player freezes. [21:47] ubuntuo: Where is it mounted in Linux, not Windows? [21:47] MrObvious: Why did only the Server version get updated to 6.06.2 [21:47] let me check [21:47] one second [21:47] how do I isntall jc? (J programming language interpreter) ? [21:47] what does that error i get in xine player suppose 2 mean "there is no demuxer available to handle" [21:48] It's hard to search Synaptic for "j" ... :) [21:48] ikonia, only if you plan to host to Internet and you don't have slaves available [21:48] !flashissues > stefano_ [21:48] czr: which is what he wants [21:48] UnknownUniverse: No clue. The latest version for install is available for a CD from Ubuntu's site. You might see if sudo apt-get update will pull the latest edition. [21:48] ikonia, ah. === u^A is now known as u^A_ [21:48] fail'ed [21:48] Jack_Sparrow, i havent made any changes to flash, it was up and running the whole day [21:49] runemaste644-> my trouble somehow started with me remoting in to my box via ssh, issued gnome-session, when I got back to my box, metacity became dysfunctional, windows lock in one place, cant click on any other window, [21:49] ubuntuo: Use tab completion (pushing Tab Key) so i can see when someone needs to talk to me. It highlights it on my end when someone types MrObvious. [21:49] ikonia: you don't need two separate IP address for DNS hosting. Although it is a very sensible thing to do, and several RFC /strongly/ recommend it with the guidelines that they should be on physically separate networks [21:49] try pressing alt f2 and typing in metacity [21:49] my tab key doesnt work [21:49] runemaste644-> and now it constantly have the sessions box popping up even if i kill it [21:50] sladen: try updating the DNS servers to point to 1 ip address, most registrars will block it [21:50] ikonia, yes you do need 2 static names for two dns servers BUT you can get away with using one. [21:50] hi all [21:50] and using a sub domain. [21:50] sliver: Hello. [21:50] stefano_: When did you install flash and how was it installed and which browser do you use? [21:50] runemaster644 i tried that metacity --repair and am still with the same problem [21:50] what does that error i get in xine player suppose 2 mean "there is no demuxer available to handle" [21:50] ikonia: I _really_ hope so, yes [21:50] ikonia, its only for if one server goes down, the other can resolve. however i am just testing/playing with dns and my domain and apache so i dont need the redundancy [21:50] dusty-sts: no - not using a sub domain, speak to your domain registrar [21:50] question: anyone know what the most popular IRC client is based on freenode traffic? [21:50] amerio: Try Googling that error. [21:50] dusty-sts: it's not redundency, it's a requirment [21:50] sladen, most do. at least country-level TLDs [21:50] !info php5-ffmepg [21:50] Package php5-ffmepg does not exist in gutsy [21:51] no [21:51] its not required [21:51] wyclif: I use XChat and it meets my needs well. [21:51] i've done it before [21:51] Jack_Sparrow, i think it was installed by firefox when i installed ubuntu (about two years ago), no problems since then. i use epiphany as a browser [21:51] MrObvious I did , but i didnt find a solution for that [21:51] dusty-sts: so delegrate a sub-domain of your own domain. eg. testing.dusty.com. IN NS server.dusty.com. [21:51] dusty-sts: for someone who doesn't know how to setup a dns server - you sure seem pretty confident about what your saying [21:51] MrObvious: i guess i should ask what is popular amongst the ops ;-) [21:51] amerio: I forget what a demuxer is but you could put in Google define: demuxer [21:51] stefano_: DO you have the same problem when you use firefox? [21:52] wyclif: XChat seems like the client of choice for most people here. IMO I like irssi in an CLI only option. [21:52] i'll check it, but as i said i havent made any changes whatsoever, give me a sec to see if firefox works [21:52] MrObvious I keep seeing Ex-Chat a lot [21:52] wyclif: Then everyone uses XChat [21:52] . [21:52] MrObvious yeah... [21:53] My aditional NTFS hard drive is not showing after improper shutdown in ubuntu. Can someone help me? [21:53] I use konversation.. but I have this disability thing going [21:53] Jack_Sparrow, yes, in firefox it's the same issue, also in vlc when i play back an flv file [21:53] hmm. interesting. after preseeding I got a nice "gnome settings daemon failed to start"-dialog and X had grabben all input into smithereens (had to switch to VT1 and do a reboot). weird. [21:53] donluigi: you must start windows and then reboot [21:53] is it a SATA drive? [21:53] or do you have no idea [21:54] donluigi, or if you don't have windows, you might want try ntfsfix (or was it fixntfs) [21:54] donluigi: It's called an unclean shutdown and I think takes 3 reboots into Windows to fix. Suggested Google: unclean shutdown ntfs3g [21:55] I dont have windows installed [21:55] Hos do i work the fixntfs? [21:55] then why do you have an ntfs drive in the first place? [21:55] i used to have windows installed [21:55] donluigi, ntfsfix /dev/path/to/your/ntfs/blockdevice [21:55] format the whole drive to ext3 [21:55] donluigi [21:55] i was working to cleaning my ntfs drive so i could format it into ext3 [21:55] but never bothered to format as ext3 [21:56] I want to game on Ubuntu. Is setting up a Virtual XP installation a good idea? [21:56] what do you mean by cleaning it [21:56] ext3 is the best and it doesnt get as fragmented as ntfs [21:56] Tonren, no. [21:56] czr: thank you, let me try that [21:56] Tonren: try #winehq [21:56] ext3 still fragments tho [21:56] donluigi: mkdir ~/windowsbackupfolder && sudo cp -a /media/ntfsdrive /home/username/windowsbackup folder [21:56] donluigi: Then format it. [21:56] stefano_: Too much resource usage? [21:56] hey people i installed my ubuntu in safe graphic mode and now i wanna install compiz can I? [21:56] Tonren, no, it just doesnt work [21:57] stefano_: ... Oh. :-\ [21:57] x-X-x, try using bittorrent with multiple simultanous streams and then say that it doesn't fragment (without prealloc) [21:57] Tonren, virtual machines don't have access to your graphics cards hardware acceleration capabilities [21:57] donluigi: Oh wait that won't work since you can't mount it. Try the fixntfs first then do that. lol [21:57] stefano_: I see. Harsh. [21:57] ikonia, ? [21:57] bodo_fci: you made a big mistake, sorry [21:57] MrObvious: thanks i will [21:57] Tonren: you can try wine ( #winehq ) for free, or cedega ( #cedega ), which costs money [21:57] dusty-sts: I've not said anything [21:57] donluigi: YW. [21:58] install it in regular graphics mode [21:58] donluigi: I've done it before. lol [21:58] czr i didnt say it doesnt fragment i said it doesnt fragment as much as ntfs it still fragments i know but the most ive seen it fragment is 13% [21:58] donluigi, it's ntfsfix still. in package 'ntfsprogs' [21:58] why wont you help me [21:58] Tonren, for casual gaming wine will do fine i suppose, check out the article on wine in the ubuntu wiki, if you have any problems theres a channel called #winehq where you can get help. [21:58] dusty-sts: I am helping you, you won't be able to host your domain [21:58] i remember doing it with one ip before using godaddy [21:58] runemaste644: you mean reinstall [21:58] ikonia, why not has something changed in the past year? [21:58] ikonia: What exactly is his problem? [21:58] x-X-x, you're correct of course. NTFS is a complicated beast by any measure. [21:58] *sigh* yes [21:58] or [21:58] wait [21:59] MrObvious: he wants to host a domain's dns records on a 1 ip box [21:59] ikonia, i've done it before but i cant remember how.. [21:59] first save everything important [21:59] dusty-sts: join #bind and they will explain the rules and help you bend any you need [21:59] lol [21:59] dusty-sts: Why exactly do you want to host DNS records? [21:59] your confusing me, are you saying its NOT possible or just saying its against a rule? [21:59] dusty-sts, you probably used godaddy as secondary [21:59] czr yeh i will never forget the day i dumped that piece of sht os and the ntfs filesystem and switched completely to linux [21:59] MrObvious, like i said to these i want to play with bind and apache using a domain i bought, not to host a website.. [21:59] dusty-sts: most registrars will not allow 1 dns server per domain [22:00] Czr: i did the first command you told me... and got an error [22:00] okay okay i'll there is another problem when i enter my ip,gateway,net mask the net doesn't work but when using roaming it work an am sure the numbers are wright [22:00] is there a similar program like aircrack but that support ndiswrapper? === nemo_ is now known as xbot_ [22:00] im not doing it for any real reason, just to play and learn [22:00] donluigi, can you paste it into pastebin? (please see topic) [22:00] Czr: Failed to determine whether /dev/media/sdb1/ntfs/blockdevice is mounted : No such file or directory [22:00] ikonia, i know that, thats why u do ns1. ns2 domain using same ip [22:00] dusty-sts: thats not the way to learn. Join #bind and they will explain the boundries [22:00] then press ctrl alt F1, if it gives you a console, press ctrl alt F7 and tell me it worked [22:00] dusty-sts: you can't do that [22:00] donluigi, ah. just use /dev/sdb1 instead [22:00] hi guys , anyone know if the active directory package that's going into hardy is done? [22:00] hello,anyone from greece? [22:00] some people say cucumbers taste better pickled [22:00] donluigi, it was a bad example ;-) [22:00] if you get no console, do ctrl alt f7 anyway [22:01] jessica simpson cant rap [22:01] and tell me it didnt work [22:01] czr, will do [22:01] Goosemoose: Try #ubuntu+1 [22:01] Firefox locks everytime i watch a youtube/flashplayer video [22:01] if it doesnt bring you back to your gui, you need to reboot [22:01] oreth yeh happens to me too [22:01] oreth: Gnash or Adobe flash?

[22:04] nintendoteenager: kill it [22:04] MrObvious: I installed flash by having Firefox install it automatically [22:04] czr, says only root can mount, how do i go to the root? [22:05] nintendoteenager: open up the system monitor and kill it [22:05] bodo_fci-> ethernet or wireless? [22:05] donluigi: sudo :P [22:05] close the window [22:05] oreth: Try the factoid that ubotu PMed you. It'll give you a link to fix it then. [22:05] donadie, prepend the command with 'sudo ' [22:05] nintendoteenager: you might have to use gksudo [22:05] ah, donluigi I meant :-) [22:05] it shouldnt interfere whilst in systray [22:05] * czr curses at xchat slightly. and then hugs it. [22:05] bkar, ethernet [22:05] ah! there it is! [22:05] czr, thank you... ubuntu just rocks [22:06] bodo_fci-> then remove the x on roaming, you dont roam when you are using ethernet [22:06] hi [22:06] czr, once i finish backing my drive, how do i format it under ext3? [22:06] MrObvious i have i problem installing ubuntu 7.10.my monitor turns to sleep mode when starting install.any help? [22:06] bkar, i do but the net doesn't work after [22:07] czr: I got an idea. Settings -> Preferences -> Input Box -> Nick Completion Settings -> Last Spoke [22:07] donluigi, you better come back here and ask :-). one step at a time :-) [22:07] l-dopa: Try the Ubuntu Alternate CD. [22:07] whats gksudo?? [22:07] bodo_fci-> it should work, check your ip address via command line, ip a or ifconfig ; also check your route -n [22:07] is there a reason the nginx version on the gutsy rep is 7 months old - security issues etc? [22:07] MrObvious, too old xchat here :-) [22:07] oreth: You getting it? [22:07] attempting [22:07] czr: Update then. :p [22:08] MrObvious, I'd rather have a stable system which is rock-solid, thank you. [22:08] bkar, the same numbers of ip works on the other distro of ubuntu [22:08] How well are USB wireless cards supported in ubuntu? [22:08] nintendoteenager: It's sudo for GUI apps. For example, gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf would let you modify the xorg.conf file. [22:08] MrObvious, I'll wait for hardy and do a clean reinstall [22:08] Steve2922: I think support is pretty decent, about the same as any Linux distro. Got a specific USB card? [22:08] whats the names of the app im supposed to kill?? [22:09] bodo_fci-> yes, but i want you to verify the ip address and the route table [22:09] czr, will do, thank you so much for your time and help. really appreciate it [22:09] donluigi, no problem :-). [22:09] bkar, pu i dunno the exact way to do [22:09] hey guys , i need help with the permissions thing , i just made a new drive (ext3) but i can't access from the GUI bcz um not root , btw um usin gutsy gibson , any ideas ? [22:10] Sorry, I was away. Who was it who answered my question? [22:10] mich54: how about changing the ownership of the files on the drive to your user? [22:10] Kuwanger: What is your question? lol [22:10] MrObvious thank you [22:10] Are there any plans for Ubuntu to better support multiple programs using the soundcard simutaneously? [22:11] bodo_fci-> it should work, check your ip address via command line, "sudo ip a" or "ifconfig "; also check your "route -n" [22:11] moderatelymodest: huh ? [22:11] MrObvious: Yea, it's a really cheap one I'm thinking about getting off ebay. (let me see if I can find the model) [22:11] MrObvious: it worked to install alsa-oss and set firefox to use that sound plugin [22:11] after that... boom worked [22:11] thanks! [22:11] mich54: You could sudo chmod +r /path/to/ext3/drive [22:12] oreth: Glad it works. YW [22:12] Kuwanger, I answered your question already before. [22:12] yeah , but this for changing the permissions for the files on the drive , i can't put any file on the drive ! [22:13] czr: I see. I was away, and the answer scrolled out of the scrollbuffer (though xchat was nice enough to flash telling me someone had answered it). [22:13] Kuwanger :-) [22:13] i killed the updater but i still get the same when trying to install an app [22:13] mich54: sudo chown user:group /path/to/drive [22:13] czr: What was your answer? [22:13] where user:group is the name of your user and group and /path/to/drive is the path of the drive [22:14] just so i can be sure: when i run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg will it not immediately take effect and what is the probability of it not working when i restart X11 [22:14] Kuwanger, in hardy.

[22:24] azexian: but I have a new problem. and it happaned also last time when I installed [22:24] Slart: yeah i know, i was talking about hosts.allow. guess then the only option is to use iptables, tnx [22:24] tanath: nope.. it just goes to my previous command.... regardless of what I've typed so far [22:24] azexian: so far: no [22:24] vermux what problem? [22:25] Slart, pressing up scrolls back through your history [22:25] guidov: ah.. sorry.. misunderstood [22:25] Slart, i use zsh, and it has a setting for that [22:25] how do i config gFTP so that my /home dir is in the L pane and my http:// dir on the right? [22:25] azexian: I got the following message: there was an error commiting changes. possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages === cZw0^aFk is now known as cZw0^bttL [22:25] Eyemean: Oh you want a password? [22:25] azexian: after applying all updates [22:25] Slart, it doesn't clear what you've typed, it matches that to the history of commands [22:25] tanath: ah.. sorry.. ok.. dash just goes to the previous command.. so.. zsh sounds nice [22:25] yes mrobvious [22:25] Hiya, is there anyone here who knows of a way to get aterm NOT showing up in the taskbar? [22:25] vermux try at the command line sudo apt-get -f isntall [22:26] slart: maybe http://www.talug.org/events/20030709/cmdline_history.html could help? [22:26] azexian: I want to check exactly what was the problem [22:26] i want to add a password wen i create a zip file mrobvious [22:26] Slart, i have a complicated customized preferences file though... can't seem to find it at the moment though [22:26] * Slart reads about "using bash history" [22:26] vermux that means that it's not configuring the packages, so there's an error, that command will fix problems that it can, but it might be you need to dpkg --force it [22:27] basically ctrl+r enters history search mode [22:27] Eyemean: add the -P option to your zip command. [22:27] and then what you type is looked up in history [22:27] Slart, but yes, you can set your default shell to zsh and customize the crap out of it. i'll see if i can find that setting [22:27] Eyemean: But it's not very secure. A better option might be a 7zip or even encrypting the file. [22:28] [Q] Are drivers tagged as "redhat" and "suse" most likely compatable with ubuntu? [22:28] k im going to do sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [22:28] of course not! [22:28] vermux I can't stay around for too long, can you try and find out the package that has the error? it's proably tzdata, but if you could find out, the apt-get -f install will show you which one has the troubles [22:28] * Slart finds lots of new ways to use bash/dash [22:28] mrobvious, its only to just upload some files for a friend so he can download them when he wants them, nothing major [22:28] rune: was that to me? [22:28] azexian: ok, I will exe the command [22:29] Eyemean: Hang on. I got the terminal output you want: [22:29] ok.. I found a wonderful new key command.. ctrl-r puts bash in history search mode.. just what I was looking for =) [22:29] zip -P blah -r Videos/ . -i videos.zip [22:29] is there a reason the nginx version on the gutsy rep is 7 months old - security issues etc? [22:29] vermux ok :) [22:29] ok mrobvious [22:29] Eyemean: Notice it has a . in there. [22:29] cheers mrobvious [22:30] Slart, hm. pressing up is simpler, but if that works for you... [22:30] #ubuntu.es [22:30] Slart, i believe i found it though [22:30] azexian: I did that, it gave information [22:30] vermux ok, can you see which package/packages fail ? [22:31] vermux if not either pm it to me, or stick it in pastebox and I will read it [22:31] Eyemean: Maybe not. But man zip has more info. I never make archives anyway so I'm not sure. :( [22:31] libqt3-mt... [22:31] tanath: well using ctrl-r might make sense searching for a command 30 lines back in history :) [22:31] tanath: hehe.. it seems bash has some nice "hidden" features though.. I've got quite a way to go to become a bash-guru it seems [22:32] i'm trying to pick an apache-mpm [22:32] I just love !! for when I do something and then realise that I needed sudo [22:32] it asks me qt_plugins_3_3.3rc (Y/I/N/0/D/Z? [22:32] azexian: ^ [22:32] mwe, with zsh, i just type a few chars, or the command, and press up, and it scrolls back only through those commands matching that beginning [22:32] vermux I replied :P [22:32] ok [22:32] is it possible to run a copy of vista that's already installed as a physical machine in a virtual machine? [22:32] thanks [22:32] oh, soz, missed it :p [22:32] tanath: I see. cool [22:32] does anybody know what the differences are? [22:32] vermux press why === Gareth_ is now known as Lattyware [22:33] tanath: but zsh scripting is different, isn't it? [22:33] Eyemean: Maybe I'm backwards. Lemme play with it. [22:33] vermux letter 'y' not word (autocorrect :p) [22:33] azexian: it's done [22:33] vermux so it's finished? [22:33] yes [22:33] how do I check that everything is fine now? [22:33] then you now have a working kubuntu installation :p [22:33] yeah i persoanlly prefer rar files mrobvious [22:34] Hey all. I booted up my PC to be greeted by a Grub error 17, I attempted to reinstall Grub via a 7.04 live CD (grub>root>setup), but it clamed it could not find any devices. I tried mounting the drive and it cirtainly exists. [22:34] just type sudo apt-get -f install again to make sure all packages are fine, if there's nothing then everything is fine :) [22:34] Eyemean: I got it now. [22:34] mwe, yeah, it can be complicated, but it's very powerful and flexible [22:34] Eyemean: cd to the directory you want to zip, then zip -P password zipfilename * [22:34] shot mrobvious [22:35] [Q] Are drivers tagged as "redhat" and "suse" most likely compatable with ubuntu? [22:35] Eyemean: Or just zip -P password zipfilename file [22:35] tanath: I see [22:35] solexious: Probably [22:35] solexious: I'd go for the redHat one over the SuSE one [22:35] Are there any good file encryption utilities? [22:35] i have a question [22:35] A debian one would be good [22:36] MrObvious: TrueCrypt [22:36] azexian: ok [22:36] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53248/ [22:36] somehow 2.6.22-14-386 got installed instead of -generic, will that cause any problems? [22:36] MrObvious: GPG [22:36] azexian: one more thing [22:36] Cpudan80: Cool, will do [22:36] vermux yes? [22:36] azexian: something that caused me a lot of problems reccently [22:36] the result was 99.999.. but when i changed the float to double, it came out as 100.. why is that? [22:36] vermux yes? [22:36] How do I figure out what ubuntu i'm on? Feisty, gutsy or whatever? [22:36] Hi. Could someone point me at info for getting my USBstick to boot? I get Error 17 when I try and boot it after installing Ubuntu on it! [22:37] azexian: I want to change the resolution, to make the icons bigger. Why when I change the resolution from 1280x1024 to 1024x768 and click apply, it doesnt change? [22:37] sixpence: type lsb_release -a in a term [22:37] is the only way to run a physical machine as a virtual machine to clone it (take up double hard drive space)? [22:37] Hey all. I booted up my PC to be greeted by a Grub error 17, I attempted to reinstall Grub via a 7.04 live CD (grub>root>setup), but it clamed it could not find any devices. I tried mounting the drive and it cirtainly exists, I have not done anything since it was last working. Really rather annoying, on another PC ATM. [22:37] i installed unreal tournament on ubuntu 7.10 and when playing the game i have a wierd stripped box over lighting and i have no idea why : http://img99.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot00000mb4.png [22:37] Lattyware: Cpudan80: I've heard of those a lot but never really had a need to encrypt but now I might so I just want an accountant for example to encrypt the file, then I can decrypt it after it's e-mailed. Do those programs do that like that? [22:37] azexian: after I click Apply it asks me if to keep it, but it didnt change anything [22:37] vermux that is odd, just as a side note, if you right click on an icon, and click resize, you can drag it to any size you want [22:37] http://img134.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot00002yc7.png [22:38] can someone help fix it ? [22:38] MrObvious: GPG can encrypt virtually anything [22:38] vermux try, on command: sudo xrandr -s 1024x768 [22:38] if my wireless card uses a restricted driver what does this mean? can my internet be slower? (it's running fast on this computer, but slow on the newly installed computer using a restricted driver) [22:38] Hi guys, I can't seem to get the java plugin running in Firefox (Gutsy X64) [22:38] azexian: ok, but in general I wanted to change the resolution [22:38] MrObvious: Generally, to do E-mail, you need some plugin to use encryption with your E-mail client --- you can use firegpg with gmail [22:38] MrObvious: TrueCrypt is more suited for personal encryption. [22:38] vermux try the command [22:38] hashalotz: what are you trying right now for java? [22:38] limp, define 'the internet'. Firefox? [22:38] Lattyware: error 17 is the most annoying grub error since it means unspcified disk error [22:39] Thanks! [22:39] Czr, i just finished backing up one of my ntfs drives, how do i do the switch to ext3? [22:39] Indeed. Normally reinstalling Grub does it, but It won't even do that. [22:39] chaosrl, I am using apt-get to get the java6 packages. [22:39] The plugin, however, is not listed. [22:39] azexian: nothing happaned [22:39] donluigi, someone else should be able to help you :-). I need to cook some food & sleep now. good luck though :-) [22:39] hashalotz: have you tried using blackdown? [22:39] hashalotz, yes. This is weird why would an intel card be in restricted? [22:39] czr, thank you, good luck [22:39] yeah the * one wrked for me mrbovious, cheers [22:39] chaosrl: no, not yet. [22:39] Cpudan80: Which encryption methods can I use? Can I use something ludacriously strong? [22:39] I did just water cool my rig, and move where each drives were plugged in, but with UUIDs that should not have been a problem, and besides, I have booted fine since then. [22:39] Can anyone help me format an ntfs drive to ext3? [22:39] Lattyware: I might try it. Is it in apt-get? [22:40] azexian: I guess I will leave it the way it is [22:40] cheers mrobvious [22:40] MrObvious: GPG is very good [22:40] vermux that is strange, I suggest you go into system --> administration --> screen (might be in prefs) and in there set your monitor to the correct make and model, then it might be more succesful [22:40] hashalotz, give blackdown a try; it's what i've been using on my 64bit install [22:40] MrObvious: Just accept all the defaults [22:40] Lattyware: I wonder why you can't reinstall grub [22:40] I see only j2re1.4, no plugin. [22:40] MrObvious: As I said, TrueCrypt is more suited to personal use, Encrypting something on your drive for later acess. It could work the other way, but try GPG first, I'd say. [22:40] mwe: It says it can't find any devices when I try. === jaggy_ is now known as jaggy||sleeping [22:41] Lattyware: odd. how did you try. manually or intall-grub? [22:41] Both. [22:41] vermux does that work? [22:41] hmm [22:41] hashalotz gimme a sec, let me see exactly what i have [22:41] They both give something like 'The device does not exist or is not a block device' [22:41] azexian: cant find it [22:41] from memory. [22:42] hashalotz: i believe the package j2re1.4 includes plugins for firefox and netscape [22:42] hello [22:42] vermux system --> administrataion --> screens and graphics [22:42] how can i install my wi-fi usb dongle? [22:42] it's the nintendo one, simply an ASUS Buffalo [22:42] Lattyware: did try running the grub shell by typing grub then type root(hd <-- then type tab for posibilies? [22:43] Hiya, is there anyone here who knows of a way to get aterm NOT showing up in the taskbar? [22:43] azexian: u mean, monitor and display?, hardware? [22:43] Xargon: As unhelpful as this may be, I will give the same advice as I give everyone else: Get a Wireless Access Point/Bridge - they make wireless networking a lot easier. (Sorry if not helpful, but I thought I'd mention it.) [22:43] mwe: Yeah. Gave me nothing. [22:43] iarwain1 are you running Ubuntu? [22:43] vermux sorry, you use kubuntu, yes monitor and display, I use gnome, so everything is different :p [22:43] weird [22:43] I need help setting up the following: ath0 connects to the network. device connects to eth0 which connects to network via ath0 [22:43] wyclif: i'm running it on my other pc (don't have interwubz yet) [22:43] Lattyware, yes but i have paid for it :( [22:44] Xargon: Indeed, Just my recomendation from experience with PCI wireless cards and WAPs. [22:44] wyclif: may i ask why? [22:44] iarwain1 where is an aterm tab showing up? [22:44] mwe: Indeed. And highly annoying. [22:44] ok, I'm still having issues with flash.. I've got 32bit Gutsy installed and I have a AMD 64 bit CPU.. any help at all.. this is time #3.. I would like to take care of this tonight if I can.. [22:44] hehe, installing windows dual-boot for a customer... "The most secure windows yet!" [22:44] the install screen is a good laugh [22:44] Lattyware, there is no way to let it work? [22:44] chaosrl: installed, not working. [22:44] wyclif: on the taskbar (i use KDE) [22:45] iarwain1 just asking if you were running that or kubuntu [22:45] iarwain1 ah [22:45] wyclif: ahh, Kubuntu. Is there another channel for that? [22:45] CaBIGuy what is going wrong? [22:45] Lattyware: and you're saying the live cd detects the hdds ok? [22:45] azexian: ok, this is the problem: and it happaned also last time after I install: I cant get into administrative mode in order to change these things now. [22:45] iarwain1 i tend to assume everybody uses Terminal ;-) [22:46] Could someone point me to info on getting my Laptop external USBStick working? [22:46] wyclif: nah, aterm is light-weight :-) [22:46] ooooh! "Your computer will be faster and more reliable" Windows(R) XP runs your programs more quickly and reliably than ever! [22:46] Now it's talking about hardware compatability, that's a low blow. [22:46] iarwain1 yeah [22:46] vermux that is odd, have you set your password right, what is the error you get when you try? [22:46] not that it even supports anything at all out of the box, it just has a monopoly [22:46] azexian, well, I've got flash installed but, it's not working.. and I've also installed the alt. option for flash plugin and no go on web pages with it either.. [22:46] hashalotz: sorry then, i'm not too knowledgable on this stuff, but i'd recommend you to try IcedTea [22:46] Pie-rate: lol [22:46] i'll stop spamming now, windows install is just so funny though [22:47] hashalotz: check here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=580792&highlight=icedtea [22:47] CaBIGuY sometimes you need to install, hangon.. [22:47] !flash [22:47] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [22:47] 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. === Spec is now known as x-spec-t [22:47] what is the best way to get PAE support on an ubuntu desktop? [22:47] hey everyone I gotta prblm with my soud [22:47] azexian, already been there and done all that... [22:47] azexian: maybe I need to set the root password first? [22:47] dam_: what's your problem? [22:47] ugh [22:47] !root | Vermux [22:47] Vermux: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [22:47] !sound | dam_ [22:47] vermux if you like, command is sudo passwd root [22:47] dam_: 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).

[22:48] azexian, I would love to get it working tonight as I've been dealing with this now for some time and I REALLY don't want to go back to using windowz for somehting simple like this.. [22:48] hey all ... any one have a linux patch or firmware update to resolve the issue with TSST-TS632D [22:48] vermux that's what it should do, once per session [22:48] wyclif: you know anything? [22:48] Lattyware: you're saying the live cd detects the hdds ok? [22:48] I have a soud systeme directly into my board but I also have a sound card [22:48] My friend seems to have somehow lost access to sudo, is there anything he can do? [22:48] both work [22:48] but they radomly change [22:48] PointyThingsHurt: yes [22:48] CaBIGuY fair enough, have you tried the package for debian? [22:48] mwe: Yeah, I can mount them and see everything on them.

[22:49] windows install is so slow, i'm used to having OSes installed and updated in under 30 minutes [22:49] mwe: Ok, any idea what? [22:49] x-X-x same here actually... it think you need to install 64bit perhaps [22:49] peanutwithchocol: /quit [22:49] what is the best way to get PAE support on an ubuntu desktop? [22:49] mwe: Thanks anyway [22:49] azexian, actually, it would be the same package as ubuntu is based off of Deb anyway.. I beleieve what my issue is si my 64bit CPU... anyone else that has this issue and fixed it, I would LOVE to hear from you.. [22:49] Vermux you could try working out the command, then doing sudo? [22:49] Lattyware: thanks [22:49] azexian: also, I loged out and logged in again and it doesnt ask me for passwd [22:50] PointyThingsHurt: help Lattyware fix his weird grub problem [22:50] azexian u too ? omg havent u found a way of fixing it [22:50] ? [22:50] CaBIGuY you are not using 64bit though, so it is unimportant, I use 64bit, works for me :p === x-X-x_ is now known as x-X-x123 [22:50] chaosrl: you set me off in the right direction, thanks 1,000,000 [22:50] azexian, ok, so, how did you get it to work then?? *takes out notpad* [22:50] x-X-X haven't really tried, did you install the right version, e.g 64bit for 64bit, I've reasontly change cpu, so I guessed this would be it [22:51] hashalotz: np, sorry i couldn't help more (me=pretty noobish) :P [22:51] CaBIGuY I'm afraid I'm not much use, I just clicked on the package :s, what browser are you using? [22:51] Hey all. I booted up my PC to be greeted by a Grub error 17, I attempted to reinstall Grub via a 7.04 live CD (grub>root>setup), but it clamed it could not find any devices. I tried mounting the drive and it cirtainly exists, I have not done anything since it was last working. Really rather annoying, on another PC ATM. [22:52] Why is Firefox very slow on my new computer. But works fine on this computer. Could it be that the new computer uses a restricted driver for the wireless card? [22:52] azexian, firefox and which package did you "click on"?? [22:52] Lattyware: what is fdisk -l saying ? [22:52] Lattyware if you boot from a different drive, e.g secondary instead of primary, then you will find that the order changes, if you type in root(hd--tab that should show you some, you can do it in ubuntu by typing grub [22:53] azexian: It shows no drives when I do root(hd-tab- [22:53] CaBIGuY I'm afraid it was on a forum :s, ubuntu one, someone gave at as a fix, since then it has been put it to the officals though... [22:53] Lattyware: does the system recognize hour hard disk? [22:53] anyone know how i can fix the stripped boxes over lighting i get when playing unreal tournament 2004 [22:53] mhrnjad: Lists all the devices fine. [22:53] Lattyware try running grub within the live cd, when booted [22:53] azexian: That's what I did. [22:54] lattyware did you run it as root? sudo grub [22:54] did you try grub-install ? [22:54] azexian, well hell.. your no dam good r ya.. :p your post to bookmark stuff like that just in case a situation like this comes up.. ;) [22:54] mhrnjad: Yes, no luck. [22:54] hello [22:54] CaBIGuY lol :P [22:54] Lattyware: hey you did a type I think [22:54] x-X-x: have you checked the ut2k4-forums? I seem to remember seeing something like your problem there. [22:54] azexian: I did. [22:54] Lattyware: did grub-install print any errors? [22:55] ok, next person in line please step up to help me with my flash issue.. :0) [22:55] mhrnjad: Something like 'Device does not exist or is not a block device' [22:55] Lattyware: you need to type root (hd. note the space after root [22:55] Lattyware: if you don't it wont work [22:55] mwe: Yeah, I did do the space, just lazines [22:55] *laziness [22:55] moderatelymodest if u could link my id be very grateful [22:55] vermux did you try that? [22:55] sorry [22:55] I dont know how === f7za90541 is now known as imbatman [22:55] anyone.. anyone?? [22:56] Lattyware: do a 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda' and see whether your hard disk and the partition table are intact.. [22:56] azexian: how? [22:56] CaBlGuY: From Topic: Adobe Flash install is currently broken, see « /msg ubotu flash » ? [22:56] ok, right click on the thing you want to launch, and click properties, in there is the command to launch it, copy that into the command prompt, delete gksudo, and just put sudo, it will ask you for a password, type in yours, and your in admin hopefully :s [22:56] what is the best way to get PAE support on an ubuntu desktop?? [22:57] mhrnjad: They are, I can mount it all. [22:57] vermux soz, missed your name, did you see it? [22:57] Lattyware, indeed, I saw that but, why would azexian be working? Has to be a fix out there someowhere if he foudn it..

[23:35] tnj, echo "\"\e[5~\": history-search-backward" >> ~/.inputrc did you forget the tilde " ~ " [23:35] ArthurArchnix: Both have dma 0 and a hdparm on both reports "HDIO_GETGEO failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device" [23:35] alsamixer keeps giving me the screen for my onboard instead of my sound card, how do i make it display levels for my sound card?

[23:37] ArthurArchnix: I tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DMA with my own dvd drive path [23:37] soldats, no because I didn't try that, I assumed that for it to be systemwide you would need to replace the "`~/.inputrc" with "/etc/inputrc" at the end of the command [23:37] Anyone know if weechat can tile multiple chat windows? [23:37] goodhabit: how do i edit it logged in as root, without logging in as root? [23:37] havfunonline: Yes, now make sure you have the nm-applet installed [23:37] how? [23:37] does ubuntu always use a crt monitor as the default screen in multi monitor setups? [23:37] soldats, according to the guide :s [23:37] arken, you don't need root @ ubuntu. Use sudo.

[23:40] Odd-rationale, not installed [23:40] IG72: And you've done this: sudo hdparm /dev/sc* [23:40] havfunonline: Then type in the command it gives you to install it. [23:41] comicinker, ls -l file [23:41] hi, just installed 7.10. noticed that although i installed in "Japanese" everything is in darn "US English". Also Japanese text input isnt working, so how do I trigger it if Shift+Space isnt working? [23:41] How do you check the list of wireless access points your machine has been configured for? [23:41] ablyss: and the file size only? [23:41] Odd-rationale, I can't connect to the internet, so it can't find the package? [23:41] komputes: you don't really but look at network-manager [23:41] ArthurArchnix: well no, i just typed the line for scd0 and scd1, returns the same thing though [23:41] comicinker, oh sorry. let me think about that [23:41] havfunonline: are you connected to the internet right now? [23:41] havfunonline: what version of ubuntu are you running, that you wouldn't have the nm-applet? [23:41] Is there a way to get my windows NOT to snap-to the top and sides of my screen as I position them? [23:42] Odd-rationale, I am using a different computer. My problem is that my laptop won't connect to the internet [23:42] How do I (without uninstalling it) disale nm-applet? I have no network connections besides usb sprint modem for now and could use the space on my eee's panel. I can kill it but preventing it from showing up on reboot..? [23:42] nickrud: I have no idea why I don't have it [23:42] TheZealot: in settings perhaps [23:42] havfunonline: are you running gutsy, with the desktop? [23:42] havfunonline: do you have a cable you can plug your laptop into to connect to the internet just to install the package? [23:42] mwe: I've checked, but not fuond anything [23:42] nickrud: Yeh, standard installation and all [23:42] IG72: Same thing. Meaning you saw no dma = 1 line right? [23:43] havfunonline: then it would be on the cd, you can install it from there [23:43] ablyss: oh my god, found so many possibilities... http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/file-size-using-bash-script-410766/?s=557e2ff8e4db90f9857b7f172f6cabd0 [23:43] Odd-rationale, tried that it won't connect to the internet via cable either [23:43] TheZealot: then probably have to hack some obscure file to do it [23:43] ummm i tried switching to my sound card in preferences>sound and testing but it wont output any sound [23:44] havfunonline: you can do sudo apt-get -d just to download, and then transfer to the non-online PC and do dpkg -i to install [23:44] I'm looking to bind my ThinkPad browser 'forward' and 'back' keys, but I can only find hotkeys on google, which doesn't cut the mustard. Any ideas? [23:44] Odd-rationale, It Network settings it says it recognises the wired connection, and the wireless but neither work [23:44] comicinker: du -b $FILE | sed 's:\t.*::' [23:44] soldats, i'm ok with opening up an editor and doing it that way. Its got me stumped now why i get permission denied even with sudo [23:44] komputes, I'm not using linux on the internet connected PC [23:44] will return the size in bytes of specified FILE [23:45] kitche: where is this "network-manager" you speak of? [23:45] benanzo: I will use stat -c%s filename [23:45] that will work as well [23:45] IG72: I get this HDIO_GETGEO failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device... sata drives apparently don't support hdparm? [23:45] ArthurArchnix: dma = 0, reads and writes use 100% cpu and take a stupendous amount of time, so I am pretty sure dma is not working [23:45] havfunonline: I know, you can still download it from the buntu packages website [23:45] tnj, im still looking. do youknow what the command is supposed to do. the only thing it does for me is number the command names in history [23:45] nickrud: so ive decided since i got my onboard sound working, ill try to use my sound card as it sound much better, however now it doesnt want to output any sound at all regardless of volume levels [23:45] my compiz randomly stopped working... how can I diagnose the problem? [23:45] havfunonline: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [23:46] it crashes with this message: aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity [23:46] ArthurArchnix: Both my HDD and both my DVDR are IDE [23:46] havfunonline: hmm. try downloading the package from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/net/network-manager-gnome === spee is now known as chafe [23:47] ninjabob7: Completely random problems can be extremely frustrating.

[23:47] i'm using nvidia [23:47] is there a quick way that i could create a file containing the results of doing ls? [23:47] komputes: maybe network-manager is a program [23:47] soldats, it supposedly binds the pageup key to "match previously typed commands from partial input" [23:47] i think compiz probably got updated but I didn't look [23:47] and I tried reinstalling compiz but no luck [23:47] tnj, ahh [23:47] IG72: Hmm... tres bizzarre. So: sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/sdc0 can you paste the error again? And just cut and paste that line into your terminal. [23:47] veynom: redirection: ls > results.txt === nemo_ is now known as xbot_ [23:48] is there a driver that allows Windows XP to read ext3 partitions?

[23:49] Jack_Sparrow, excellent thank you [23:49] CoasterMaster: explore2fs [23:49] Nevermind. [23:49] ninjabob7: what is the line before the aborting and using fallback line? [23:49] ninjabob7, awesome thanks [23:49] !flashissues > xbot_ [23:49] !flash > xbot_ [23:50] crdlb: no other line [23:50] Jack_Sparrow; hmm.. [23:50] kitche: no, not a program, at least not one which is launched through the shell... [23:50] when I start it from gnome-terminal with compiz --replace that's all i get [23:50] when i just log in it resets X [23:50] Odd-rationale, how do I unpackage that once I get it onto my computer? [23:50] ArthurArchnix: my hdd despite being ide is also prefix as sda1, 2 etc when I would expect hda1, 2 Is this normal for linux nowdays? I havent tried it for years [23:50] whats up all [23:50] havfunonline: Double click the .deb [23:50] ninjabob7: are you in the failsafe session? === tommyboy is now known as tommyboy845 [23:51] yeah I am right now [23:51] whats up all [23:51] that's why compiz won't start [23:51] havfunonline: Also make sure you have the needed dependencies on your other comupter. [23:51] when i start it normally though it crashes [23:51] IG72: Yeah. New naming convention. [23:51] which is why i'm in failsafe right now :-( [23:51] Odd-rationale, How? [23:52] ninjabob7: what does 'glxinfo | grep direct' say? === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [23:52] Anyone have DHCP Server experiance with DHCPD? [23:52] IG72: linux kernel uses a new driver called libata which names all hard drives sdx [23:52] how can I get the letter from that expression: 1474k [23:52] I fixed my windows snap-to problem... I installed compiz and it gives me an advanced window settings menu with all kinds of window settings. install it by doing this: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [23:52] Ubuntu keeps asking me for my keyring password, but I get denied every time I put in my password, how can I reset my keyring password? [23:52] tnj, man i have no clue im not the best at configuring custom bash commands [23:52] havfunonline: Actually, nevermind that. Gdebi should let you know if you don;t have the neede dependdencies. [23:52] tnj, i cant figure it out. than again im a little out of t right now [23:52] soldats, maybe i need to use sudo with an option, i really don't know but i think i may have found something [23:53] Well...

[23:54] kitche: it does this every time I connect to a wireless network [23:54] soldats, check this out https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/9381 let me know what you think [23:54] Kitche: Could libata be having problems with my dvd drive perhaps? [23:54] tnj, wait so in terminal instead of doing the normal "up arrow key" to scroll through the history commands its supposed to scroll with the pgup and pgdown commands [23:54] komputes: well there is tons of keyrings out there you mean the gnome-keyring? [23:54] comicinker, did you find it yet? if not I have this read -r a Size <<< "$(ls -l file)";echo "${Size[4]}" [23:54] SWAP a logical or primary ? [23:54] its logical right ? [23:55] IG72: probably not but who knows since cd/dvd are usually named the old way unless they are scsi [23:55] neverblue: yes, usally.

[23:55] crdlb: that command also crashes X [23:55] im not a total newbie, but i cant figure out how i can up my screen resolution. im stuck at 1024x800. [23:55] any poiinters? [23:55] oh cool, thanks comicinker [23:55] neverblue: doesn't matter, you just need logical to have more than 4 [23:55] IG72: How'd that work with the -X66 switch? [23:55] tnj, did you see my last message [23:55] tommyboy845: are you using the vesa driver? [23:55] ninjabob7: ok so the problem is your video driver, not compiz. Pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:55] comicinker: echo "1474k" | tr -d '[0-9]' [23:56] soldats, yes, sorry phone call [23:56] kitche: most likely gnome keyring , in ubuntu it is System>Admin>Keyring [23:56] ninjabob7: can i yum for that? or where can i find it at? [23:56] komputes: yep gnome-keyring [23:56] i have an ipod shuffle which for some reason won't let me add more content (it says the device is full), although there's half a gig of space left on hte device according to gnome [23:56] patbam: Try emptying your trash [23:56] ninjabob7: im currently on a laptop with a ati 200m card... not so great but for development and graphic design i need a bigger screen [23:56] tommyboy845: no, i'm asking if you're currently running that or a specific driver [23:56] nickrud, sorry, that wasnt clear :) [23:56] kitche: so how do I reset or delete the ring [23:57] ArthurArchnix: yeah i deleted all the mp3s from the trash [23:57] ArthurArchnix: sorry mussed have missed it, what x66 switch? [23:57] mhr: cool, thanks [23:57] patbam: While it's plugged in. The shuffle I mean. Or enable showing hidden files, enable the delete command that bypasses trash, and then delete the ./trash folder on your shuffle. [23:57] tnj, is it what you want? i edited the inputrc file and i scrolled down till the pageup part and i inpout the commands from the first link you had then saved. now it scroll through history with the pageup keys. you dont need to have the echo part in the file though [23:57] komputes: might help you http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=384905 [23:57] neverblue: swap can be on a logical or primary partition, it doesn't matter. You only need to make a logical partition if you plan on having more than 4 partitions on a disk [23:57] ArthurArchnix: hmm, okay, going to try that. [23:57] ninjabob7: ooh, well im using fglrx now, i tried using the ATi ones but still the same [23:57] soldats, yes, but also matching partially typed commands [23:58] tommyboy845: don't know then [23:58] tnj, yes that works for me as well [23:58] soldats, yes indeed [23:58] tnj, pastebin your inputrc file and ill edit it [23:58] nickrud, thank you, thats obviously a lot more clear :D [23:58] Odd-rationale, "Could not download additional files please check internet connection" [23:58] if youd like [23:59] IG72: It forces a specific IDE transfer mode.

[23:59] ArthurArchnix: how do i enable the delete command that bypasses trash?
