[00:00] hmm, that might me my prob [00:00] i installed 7.10 thru wubi and its working fine, but i'm a bit distressed that it decided on its own how much space to give to /, home and swap, i gave it 10gb total, and it gave / 7.3gb, swap 953mb which left only 938.7mb for home :( [00:00] mutv: google for it. i think they have to fix the bug first [00:00] Sergo21; if you installed an application outside of the repo's then it is located noramally in /usr/local/bin/ .. go there and see if azureus is there then ./azureus [00:00] void^, ok, but how to remove the old files of azureus downloaded from ubuntu repo?:) [00:01] Stepa1, by default hda1 is already used (and mounted) by ubuntu - you are probably trying to mount the wrong device [00:01] still have same problem [00:01] Sergo21; sudo apt-get remove azureus [00:01] Sergo21: apt-get autoremove azureus [00:01] Stepa1: you have to sudo [00:01] when trying to install ubuntu on my PS# i keep getting the error: "an error was returned after trying to install the kernel and the target system.

[00:02] Pine: Still no music [00:02] stepha1: fdisk -l [00:02] see your disks [00:02] mutv: instead of using ntwm,use rutils, maybe there are wpa issues [00:03] josspyker, not to be annoying but how would I go about doing that? [00:03] Logan ok now try this: sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) module-assistant alsa-source [00:03] I tried the sda, it gave me http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53995/ [00:03] I can't get Ubuntu to install on my PS3 [00:03] ppibburr: update-java-alternatives -l [00:03] I can't view or hear pandora online music radio, what do i do ?

I think it has a virus [00:06] HorizonXP: say what now [00:06] nemilar, he could run ntfsfix too - but its probably better to let windows do it [00:06] Answer yes (for ISA-PNP - recommended by package maintainers), [00:06] Stepa1: well in that case, what unop said - ntfsfix [00:06] sudo: dpkg_reconfigure: command not found [00:06] then yes again (for debugging - recommended by package maintainers) [00:06] stepha1: dont login, just reboot [00:07] Stepa1: hm, ntfsfix , I'll join the crowd :) [00:07] back to linux [00:07] can somebody help me with my ps3 issues?

[00:08] Stepa1: ntfsfix /dev/sda1 [00:08] Pine: That's a big list [00:08] xine or mplayer :) [00:08] Stepa1: you need to install ntfsprogs first iirc [00:08] laughzilla: rockbox is actually an open source firmware replacement for the ipod. you can get it from rockbox.org [00:08] unop: I like what you did there, with the sh -c instead of using two sudo's [00:08] look for something containg nvidia [00:08] pidgin seems really flakey; what's the next best thing for IM?

[00:13] laughzilla: yes. sounconvert is command line , soundconverter is gui [00:13] ppibburr can you tell me the exact command? i don't know what to do [00:14] ty Rudd-O [00:14] thanks nickrud i'll give the gui a shot :) [00:14] fire up another terminal and do that lspci [00:14] jdh6403: yw [00:14] Pine: Doing it now [00:14] Stepa1: yeah, it's fixable, but it's going to be complex... there are CDs you can use that you can boot off of and repair the drive, but then I'd rescue whatever files you need and format it [00:14] Stepa1: looks like it got seriously damaged [00:14] bod_, Okay, then it's the free version. You may need to use ndiswrapper and the rt2500usb drivers from the Belkin disk. [00:14] in system monitor, my cpu is over 90% and i'm just doing light stuff, what gives?

[00:15] Rudd-O: true, I've found most questions about that are from the system monitor on the panel [00:15] hi where can i get some cool deskops pictures [00:16] unop, i have to keep diconnecting to check this so hang on [00:16] ok look for MCP61 [00:16] I'm trying to play a .wmv file in totem and can't seem to get it to work, I've installed the gstreamer plugins as well as the w32codecs and finally tried installing totem-xine. [00:16] desktopi: goto http://www.ubuntu-art.org [00:16] the panel monitor should ignore nice cpu load, since it's inconsequential to system performance [00:16] nownot_, you seem to be missing a vital iptables library - /lib/iptables/libipt_FOWARD.so - i'd suggest you fix this first before attempting anything else [00:16] procrastinator: can you play other wmv's? Some are encrypted and linux won't play them [00:16] bod_, Get it from the Belkin site then... BTW - I've never gotten the Belkin up using any free drivers except in 6.06 lts. [00:17] jacob what burning program are you using? Use a slower burn speed. [00:17] procrastinato, best thing to do is convert all wmv files to either mpg, avi or ogm [00:17] Rudd-O: but it doesn't, it shows it as a very slightly different shade of blue [00:17] no micr$oft is the best [00:17] nickrud: I can, but I have previously been able to play these files in ubuntu. I would try VLC, but for some reason it has stopped starting for any file. MPlayer will play it properly from command line but not if I load it through the gui. === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [00:18] how do I force mount HPFS/NTFS ? [00:18] !nickspam > dgtlchlk [00:18] dn4, add -o force to your mount command [00:18] procrastinator: run gmplayer from the terminal, you might see some useful errors.

[00:20] unop, i didnt try my gateway hang on [00:20] hmm, ok, lol. [00:20] help on playing video cds [00:20] hi, is there some kind of configuration utility for laptop touchpads? i find the touchpad harder to use in linux than in windows, the mouse pointer seems a bit jerky [00:20] nickrud: I should mention that the video works, but not the audio in totem (everything works with mplayer from terminal); however, when using totem-xine, the audio works but the video does not.

[01:18] bod_, we're getting in too deep and way too off fopic [01:18] this chat was opened automatically, but i cant open ubuntu-es [01:18] histo: actually, it's a bigger problem. i'm using two monitors with separate x sessions. so when i try to open a url in one session, it opens it in another. [01:18] i think that's the root of the problem. [01:18] RequinB4: no it's a website to download gnome themes and icon sets. if you want packages, dive into synaptic, there are a ton there also [01:18] Pelo, but at least you retained ur helper status ,.,.,.;) [01:18] jesica '/join #ubuntu-es' [01:18] jesica, #ubuntu-es [01:18] goudkov: definately because I can open multiple firefox windows.

And yes, I learned how great that installation process was early on [01:20] histo: if i launch it from the first screen, it opens up in the second one. so if i already have firefox open in the first session and then gnome-open or just launch firefox with a url on the command line in the first session, it give an error dialog about the firefox session in the second x session. [01:20] WHERE! I DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT UBUNTU! [01:20] goudkov: how are you launching it? [01:20] jesica, you need to go to the spanish channel ?

[01:22] goudkov: or somehow tell it which session to launch it in. [01:23] goudkov: Why you have two X sessions running is beyond me in the first place. [01:23] histo: i just tried launching openoffice from gnome terminal in the first x session and it opened the openoffice window in the second x session [01:23] histo: very convenient [01:23] goudkov: because you're gnome-terminal is from the second x session [01:23] histo: much better than running one big virtual display [01:23] goudkov: it opens on $DISPLAY === spine is now known as spine55 [01:23] goudkov: okay to each his own.

[01:25] !ssh > mkquist, mkquist Read the private message from ubotu. [01:25] jrib: it works fine if i export DISPLAY=:0.0 in the first session manually [01:25] goudkov: becuase your displays are backwards from what you are used to probably. [01:25] histo: no it shows :0.1 in both of them! [01:25] what would you type to mount a cd as iso9660? [01:25] goudkov: if you open a new terminal it should have $DISPLAY set to whichever one you opened it on [01:25] goudkov: well thats an issue definately.

I've already apt-get removed dpsyco, I dont want it. [02:11] how do I get rid of the error* [02:11] linux4909: I recommend you use virtualbox instead of install a tar binary from vmware. it will save you a lot of time and virtualbox is pretty good [02:11] okay [02:11] thanks [02:12] tcm_, sure [02:12] i was just reading the comparison online too [02:12] is there any difference in productivity or speed b/n them? [02:12] linux4909 i greatly prefer the featureset of vmware over virtualbox, but it depends on which version of vmware you are using [02:13] wolferine, Im sorry. Im completely lost. I cant find it. Thanks for everything [02:13] jesica, email your provider [02:13] paradise, i am using vmware 5 [02:14] hi all. i have 5 PC running ubuntu. what should i add to "/etc/apt/source.list" to make others pc getting update from "/home/username/localrepo" in PC no 1?

[02:15] should be able to have both installed [02:15] like go a week with VB then a week with VM [02:15] okay [02:15] i want to compare and see the difference [02:16] !enter | linux4909 [02:16] linux4909: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[02:16] linux4909 no, workstation does that for you. [02:16] linux4909: you can do anything that you want :) I went from VM to VB. Tried them both and VB is more comfortable for me so I stuck with it [02:16] wolferine : using livecd and what i was meaning was i put livecd in boot from the cd itself it seems to start loading normal then without getting an error it goes into some type of terminal mode and tells me to type help for more help [02:16] vb is good [02:16] question: can I setup a usb wifi adapter as access point? i mean not using a router? [02:16] hi all. i have 5 PC running ubuntu. what should i add to "/etc/apt/source.list" to make others pc getting update from "/home/username/localrepo" in PC no 1? [02:17] linux4909 i do recommend workstation 6 though, it has USB2 support and more [02:17] so ubotu [02:17] *sorry ubotu [02:17] box-, so a new install, use the Alt. CD to install then [02:17] linux4909 ubotu is a bot [02:17] I personally like VBox, as far as systems which don't need device support [02:17] paradizelost, so does vb [02:17] I have a quick question, I have a ton of file files and I want to extract them all in to one directory, can anyone help with the command to do that? I checked out the man page for gunzip didn't help me out [02:17] oh [02:17] nomasteryoda how bout multiple snapshots [02:17] I love Vbox's seamless mode... [02:17] okay [02:17] Stupid question -- I've got two ubuntu installs. One doesnt' [02:17] dduong i will give you seamless being awesome [02:17] yup... i have been doing those ... i have 12 snapshots of xp [02:18] vbox, seems to get more love, so i will try that first. then vm next week [02:18] know if X supports the 'pressure' on some tablets? [02:18] in vb [02:18] paradizelost lol [02:18] norv, in inkscape and gimp... i have done that [02:18] wacom tablet support is in ubuntu xorg [02:18] by default [02:18] hey thanks to all that replied, and thanx for the link [02:19] Stupid question -- I've got two ubuntu installs. One doesnt't require me to enter my password when sudoing and the other does -- can anyone tell me how I can disbale the password prompt? I have the line sudo ALL=NOPASSWS: ALL in my /etc/sudoers file but doesn't seem to do the trick.. [02:19] linux4909: If you need anymore help, feel free to come back :) [02:19] good luck...... you can get free virtual machine images from vmware site.. to test linux4909 [02:19] nomasteryoda: ah, nice. I was thinking about getting one of those [02:19] Ironhand, thats covered in the 'ubuntu guide' ( great resource) give it a google [02:20] wolferine : It's a bird -- not hand... hehehe.. [02:20] nomasteryoda: what are images? [02:20] virtual machines [02:20] in single files [02:20] ironhawk, sorry, auto completion :) [02:20] is that what i need if i dont have the windows cd? [02:20] ironhawk: well, you only have to enter your password once and sudo remembers for quite a while. I'd assume turning it off completely would be fairly dangerous [02:20] !enter | nomasteryoda [02:20] nomasteryoda: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:20] wolferine : I'll check it out.. just seems to be something beyond sudoers that's prompting... [02:21] linux4909, there is a exporter for virtualmachines on the vmware website ... ok i [02:21] Ironhand, i know its covered in the Edgy guide, if you cannot find it in Gutsy [02:21] darn it... i have a bad keyboard and don't mean to do that ... i will type my books faster [02:21] nomasteryoda: so you can actually upload your machine for others to use?(image) [02:22] is there a way to get virtualbox to boot off of a hard disk, or is that risky? [02:22] if it is opensource, sure you can that's up to you... i was working on one complete with free creative commons music that has ampache music server on it [02:22] nomasteryoda: i wont bother you, i'll google from here. but thanx to you and the others. [02:22] k [02:24] am back, i have another question. take a looksee at this link http://www.vmware.com/appliances/ is that what you mean by images? they call them appliances on the site [02:24] linux4909, this has all the "appliances" vmware has... [02:24] http://www.vmware.com/appliances/ .. .intentional line break [02:24] So anyone have any suggestions as to how to get a usb printer to work in virtual box? I have xp in a vbox and it doens't recognize my usb ports.. I tried doing the fstab trick / adding the usbfs group but still doesn't seem to work [02:24] hi.. I have a problem with my sound.. i am a newby and i dont undertand what is happening.. midi files dosnt reproduce well, it may be de timidity... also i cant start jack as a client [02:24] #batam [02:25] ironhawk, you could share the printer on the host and access it via samba shares or ipp [02:25] 3 [02:25] one more question, if i have a virtual machine of windows. could i save files and access them with my Ubuntu? [02:25] erm, sorry :-) [02:25] linux4909, yes - thats doable. in several ways. [02:26] sweet! [02:26] nomasteryoda : hehehe -- crap -- never thought of that?! Gonna give it a shot.. Not sure if this hp installer lets you do it but I'll try it.. [02:26] linux4909, you can set up shared directories. or use ssh. or the same as you would 2 networked machines. [02:26] what is better as far as configurations? VM or VB? i ask because im a beginner [02:27] depends on what you want. I tend to use vmware [02:27] linux4909: VB is simpler to set up [02:27] is it safe to update xserver-xorg-core yet? I've held off for fear of breaking graphics === pyrak_ is now known as pyrak [02:27] okay. i want what is simpler. [02:27] thank you all. [02:28] wait, sorry. should i get VB fro mthe web or in my add/remove? [02:28] linux4909: just a personal preference, but I always search synaptic first by default [02:28] hi [02:29] linux4909: use synaptic or adept, don't get OSE if you care about USB pass through devices and other stuff [02:29] !mime [02:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about mime - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:29] ironhawk, if its in a linux host, ubuntu for sure can do it... i share my main printer here for my netowrk... [02:29] when booting to the i386 7.10 livecd, during the boot process, it drops to a busybox shell, and just sits there. how do i get it to boot all the way? [02:29] how do I add new file-handler types to firefox? there's no UI and apropos doesn't turn up anything either [02:29] hi all. i have 5 PC running ubuntu. what should i add to "/etc/apt/source.list" to make others pc getting update from "/home/username/localrepo" in PC no 1? [02:29] norv: i have OSE is there a version ov VB w/o OSE [02:29] nomasteryoda : through /etc/exports? [02:30] i just use the gui [02:30] linux4909: oh right, nonfree so you'd have to get it manually I think [02:31] get what manually? i have it from synaptics, but i want to use USB though. [02:31] nomasteryoda : yah, found a checkbox to share .. hrmm -- I'm more concerned about the xp driver install -- not sure if it allows you to connect to a remote printer cuz it's a usb only. [02:31] theteacher, there are some apt tools that allow one machine to be the main apt 'cache' - the way you are doing it - is proberly not a good idea. [02:31] anyone know which irc server joomla lives? - i tried freenode..but nope \ [02:32] norv: i want to use USB though. will VMware work with USB? and is VB used more by the open source community as opposed to VM? [02:32] apt-cacher - caching proxy system for Debian package and source files [02:33] Dr_willis, thx. so how the good idea? [02:33] linux4909: err, what sort of USB device? [02:33] theteacher, ------------> apt-cacher - caching proxy system for Debian package and source files [02:33] Dr_willis, is it here http://www.zyxware.com/articles/2008/01/18/use-apt-cacher-to-save-bandwidth-multiple-pcs [02:33] theteacher, theres other ways also. I recall the apt manual mentioned some [02:34] norv: WD Passport and a WD My Book and a USB. [02:34] norv: basically storage devices only. and i have a printer [02:34] norv: but that's all [02:34] theteacher, last i uses apt-cacheer it did not 'cache' things in the users home dir. :) it keep things in /var/cache/apt like normal. [02:34] can mac osx be ran on a vb? [02:35] linux4909: err, now that's trickier [02:35] norv: what is, the storage devices or the printer? i dont care for the printer cuz i can transfer the files and print in ubuntu [02:35] linux4909: Virtualbox pretends to be a very generic PC, so no unless you get OS X to work on a generic PC first [02:36] Dr_willis, the how to please? [02:36] linux4909: the OS X is tricky. storage devices should be easy to share to Windows in virtualbox [02:36] Q: im screwing around with my usb wifi dongle and measuring signal strength. What I want to do is see it change in realtime, or, just make iwconfig run 10x/second for 5 mins. any ideas? [02:36] linux4909: I personally just share my /media for that [02:36] norv: okay, well scratch the OSX. i'll start of with windows. one question, do i HAVE to have the windows cd to install? or can i download the virtual machine? [02:36] how do I axytract tar.gz from command line ? tar -xvf ? [02:37] norv: will i be able to go online with the vir.mach? [02:37] theteacher, install apt-cacher. check its docs. and google for tutorials. You basically change the other machines apt/sources.list file to point to the main caching server [02:38] linux4909: if it's not in virtualbox's format, you need to roll your own image. which requires a physical CD or an .iso to boot from [02:38] linux4909, you will need your windows CD [02:38] linux4909, and yes you can go online .......... [02:38] i have the windows cd. [02:38] linux4909, you can even run a server [02:38] Dr_willis, thx. on the way. [02:38] will my recovery cd work or do i have to have a full windows Cd. i have the one that came with my gateway [02:39] what is the CLI command for taking a screenshot in 5 seconds [02:39] /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/circles [02:39] first answer gets a beer [02:39] linux4909: most recovery CDs don't have enough data to do a clean re-install, no [02:39] sleep 5s ; gnome-screenshot [02:39] Billy: i'm not that advanced yet. i dont know anything about servers [02:39] linux4909: I think you'll need a full windows cd. [02:39] slugone: ^^^, where's my beer please [02:39] thank you [02:40] okay so i will have to do a clean install [02:40] linux4909, doesn't hurt trying it our ...... pop the CD in and let it roll ....... [02:40] Hey, so maybe I'm trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist -- reason I want to print from my XP os running in virtual box is cuz I wasn't sure that I'd get good quality printing photos from somethnig like GIMP.. Is this a real concern? I've been a photoshop user for like 15 years now so that's why I'm trying to run it all in a VM on linux-- if I can print with the same quality in linux then I'm sold... I'm only talking about 8x10's [02:40] gotchya thankx [02:40] whats ure postal code and address :P [02:40] Hello how do I extract tar.gz from command line ? tar -xvf ? [02:40] ouellettesr, or use the 'unp' command. :) [02:40] ironhawk: no, printing quality is based on the driver and generally CUPS is as good as any [02:40] linux4909, right now I have 8 different OS installed ....... I am using VMware [02:40] thank you [02:40] ouellettesr, if it is compressed, add z. tar xzvf filename.tar.gz [02:40] !info unp [02:40] lol, hey don't tell a man you'll send him free beer if you ain't gonna pull through with it [02:40] unp (source: unp): unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.12 (gutsy), package size 9 kB, installed size 72 kB [02:40] slugone: no prob [02:40] ouellettesr, tar -x(etract)v(erbose)z(unzip)f(ile) blah.tar.gz [02:40] ouellettesr: yes, tar -xvf [02:40] but Vb i heard is easier to configure [02:41] x for extract v for verbose. f for file... [02:41] cool thanks guys [02:41] z for gzip [02:41] Billy: can you print and use USB from those OS? [02:41] ironhawk: what printer manufacturer? [02:41] j for bzip2 I think.... :) [02:41] Dr_willis: correct [02:41] linux4909 : i've ran both for a while now and VBOX kicks vmware's ass in my opinion.. [02:41] Dr_willis: bzip2, boo [02:41] which is why i cheat and use unp :) [02:41] Is there some player that will let you fast forward asf files? It gets all blurry ... [02:41] I know the files doesn't do this in wimp [02:41] norv: it's a hp photosmart 3110.. [02:41] ironhawk: Can you convert between the two? [02:42] linux4909, VMware installation is very easy ......... just choose all default options ........ do some reading in the forums too [02:42] is there a terminal command I can use to list out the currently installed restricted drivers? [02:42] -xvf wasn't working for me, -xzvf did it [02:42] ironhawk: you having printing problems or somethin? [02:42] linux4909: you can if the OSes support printing via samba/ipp [02:42] linux4909, yes you can use your USB devices just like you use them in windows ........ [02:42] I have had major issues with virtualbox on some of my test cases.. - I do tend to only test live cd's however.. vbox has failed to boot several that vmware booted fine [02:42] Cpudan80 : that I dont know.. just prefer vbox.. [02:42] patogen, I dont know what you're using to do that but I recomend either vlc or mplayer [02:42] linux4909, I use samba for file sharing though ........ [02:42] ironhawk: look for the cups drivers for that [02:42] nvm, found it: restricted-manager --list [02:42] the cups driver or the hp driver will work good for that printer, either one is great [02:43] HP printers have such good linux support, I love it [02:43] heartsblood: vlc ... you think mplayer might work? [02:43] linux4909: you can add media to samba and instant USB-storage sharing [02:43] crimsun: Are you available? [02:43] Dr_willis, of all the x86-emulators, vmware is the most complete (especially in corner cases) [02:43] When I try to access the "Network" page via nautilus, it says "Cannot display network:///" -- anybody have a suggestion? [02:43] norv : Yah, I can print in linux now, just wasn't conviced I'd be able to print photos.. I'll take that route first before I try to solve this print issue from xp running in vbox.. thanks dude.. [02:43] RyanPrior, what are you trying to access ? Samba shares ? [02:43] Billy: Nothing. Just the "Network" page. [02:44] patogen, try mplayer -vo x11 (file) or mplayer -vo g11 (file) [02:44] RyanPrior, you using 8.04 ? [02:44] ironhawk: if its one of those specialty printers with all the gizmos, you might prefer the hp drivers to the cups drivers [02:44] heartsblood: ok thank you :) [02:44] norv: wow, i dont know what samba is. [02:44] ironhawk: yeah, you'll have to set samba printer sharing up for that, and I don't know enough to help you in that [02:44] norv : just had a kid 5 days ago and I have terabytes (well, maybe a couple of megs) of photos to print! hehe.. [02:44] Billy: Yes, but no response from #ubuntu+1 for hours. Is that a know bug in Hardy? [02:44] patogen, sorry that's mplayer -vo gl blah.asf not g11 [02:44] congradulations @ ironhawk !! [02:44] RyanPrior, that's a bug in 8.04 ....... yes [02:45] Billy: Crap. Any workaround? [02:45] yes [02:45] just put the location [02:45] put SMB:/// for samba [02:45] should i run XP or Vista? [02:45] in VM? [02:45] xp [02:45] Billy: How about for SSH/SCP? [02:45] linux4909, you can run whatever ....... shoot ...... run both [02:45] RyanPrior: I know you have been waiting a long time for help in +1 but that is the place you need to go for those answers [02:45] hey how do I change the3 boot screen in gutsy [02:45] RyanPrior: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185756 [02:45] not the splash [02:45] linux4909, vista is too new to expect to work in a VM [02:45] but the boot [02:46] okay, i will do XP [02:46] linux4909, so if u try it dont be surprised if it doesnt work [02:46] linux4909 vista in vm is experimental and vista itself is uselessly bloated. go for win2k if possible and winxp if necesary but avoid vista [02:46] norv : I can share the printer no probs via cups server -- was just a checkbox -- just printed from my laptop which works great.. Gonna try out some photos and see how we go.. thanks for your help.. [02:46] so what [02:46] how do I [02:46] hey I've just installed ubuntu and I love it but I've been having a couple hardware problems I was wondering if someone could help me with them? [02:47] ironhawk, isnt it cool that you can instantly print from anywhere in your home with wireless and your laptop? [02:47] Egh -- geez avant is good but wish it wouldn't just keel over so often.... [02:47] yo guys, I was wondering about something, if I was to install an irc client on a remote server, then have it always on then how would I switch to it and view the channel if it is running in the background or similar? [02:47] ok, I need to figure out another way.... I am uploading a tar.gz file to my web server and I need to extract it in a directory and have it overwrite all the files in that directory. And I need to keep it from creating a folder and putting the files in there. [02:47] how should i go about manipulating partitions on my computer: i need to create a small partition with vista out of the free space on my windows xp partition. then, i need to merge the partitions together, or at least transfer many files on the xp partition to my vista partition, so i can view my files while on vista. [02:47] GerrySly, depends on what client. You could use irssi and screen [02:47] odd question... how do I find out what Linux is calling my "pcmcia wireless card" from the terminal? [02:48] kbrooks : there are just too many cool things going on -- linux just makes this all too easy... [02:48] ironhawk, you dont need an AV in any Linux distribution [02:48] well when I login to my server I do my regular things, then I want to switch to the irc client after finishing up my normal things === jd_ is now known as linuxpoet [02:48] ironhawk, viruses are few and far between. and the security model in the Linux kernel stops viruses in the cold. [02:48] is that possible, like running irssi in the background and then when I finish my regular things, pull it up only using ssh? [02:48] GerrySly: use something like screen [02:49] singlesun try this "lspci | grep -i wlan" [02:49] clubs: Start by backing up... that looks like a receipe for disaster [02:49] kbrooks : sorry was referring to avant window manager -- hehe.. [02:49] GerrySly, with irssi and other console stuff Screen is a MUST MUST learn about tool. :) [02:49] xenthro, i will give it a shot real quick [02:49] ironhawk, ah sry [02:49] GerrySly: you *could* do the background/foreground stuff, but screen is much easier and useful. [02:49] Are the Canonical repositories down right now? [02:49] ok cheers [02:49] I need help installing Flash on Ubuntu 7.10 [02:49] GerrySly, screen is amazing in its usefullness. :) [02:49] !flashissues [02:49] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [02:49] seems to be not working after i install ti [02:49] i'll learn it right now then, running kubuntu here and ubuntu on my server [02:49] A 'sudo apt-get update' just failed here. Some indexes were not able to be downloaded... [02:50] codename: How did you install it [02:50] Jack_Sparrow. I have nothing to use to back up files. My xp partition is BSOD's and I figure this is the fastest way. I've been meaning to get vista anyway. [02:50] levander, there are more [02:50] kbrooks: more what? [02:50] !mirrors [02:50] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Gutsy, and help keeping the servers' load low! [02:50] clubs: Dont risk anything you cant replace [02:50] levander, mirrors [02:50] kbrooks: Can you do a 'apt-get update' right now? [02:50] can anyone point me to a site that would be helpful in configuring VB to work? [02:51] codename: How did you install flash [02:51] levander, yes, but thats because i'm on a local mirror [02:51] linux4909, to work to do what? its fairly easy to get it going. It has docs at its homepage [02:52] linux4909: I had 5 running but was still buggy [02:52] Jack_Sparrow, ok let's do something different then. I want to expand the 8gb partition with ubuntu to encompass all of the free space on the windows xp partition. how do i do this without reinstalling ubuntu? [02:52] xenthro, that returns nothing ;) [02:52] kbrooks: Are there mirrors of medibuntu too? That's one of the ones that's failing. [02:52] how do I change the boot up screen in gutsy I wnt to make it look like a mac [02:52] xenthro, it is however recognizing that it is there, because I am picking up networks, i just dont know what LInux is "naming it" [02:52] Jack_Sparrow, If I am thinking this out correctly, I would need to expand it multiple times, so I can move all my files from one partition to anther [02:53] clubs: Read up on uuid's .... get gparted livecd [02:53] singlesun nameing the device? just type in "iwconfig" [02:53] singlesun or "iwlist scan" [02:53] can you point me to a web pagae? [02:53] xenthro, excellent this works ;) thanks [02:53] clubs: with huge drives being as cheap as they are, I presonally cant see why people would want to risk it all and not have any backup. [02:54] singlesun sorry, i misunderstood your question [02:54] voltei [02:54] agora sim [02:55] !gparted [02:55] GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [02:55] Dr_willis: im sorry, i wasnt' specific. i meant like configuring it. will Windows recognize my hardware? [02:55] linux4909, no idea. I dont run windows under virtualbox. Check its web site. Most likely yes it should. [02:55] when I press ls...i see certain files have diff colors..like some files are green while others are blue... may i know the difference.... [02:56] is there a difference between the VB OSE and the regular binaries? [02:56] Jack_Sparrow, I don't think there would be any risk if the programs were to use can do the job. [02:57] linux4909: yes, ose has fewer features. i'd say go for the binary install unless you feel particularly strong about FOSS [02:57] kbrooks: I see how to change it to use a mirror at a local university. But, I don't see how to change for the security.ubuntu.com entries. I only see it for the archive.ubuntu.com entries. [02:57] jeffMASTERflex: im going binary [02:57] thanks [02:57] linux4909: you actually got me curious and i'm installing winxp in virtual box right now [02:58] levander, none i presume [02:58] I don't want to clutter this window too much is there anyone here who might be willing to help me out with a wireless problem? [02:58] linux4909: i went binary also [02:59] is there a way to update to 8.04 alpha3 from 7.10 by use of a package manager or something of the nature instead of going through the downloading of the iso for alpha3 ? [02:59] when I press command "ls".............i see certain files have different colors..like some files are green while others are blue... may i know the difference....thanks [02:59] Hi, which one is better ubuntu or debian? thanks [03:00] sorry you guys, another stupid question... i apologize, yes.. ive always used windows... :( ... how can you view all the paths for your drives through terminal.... i need to be able to see the paths in terminal.. [03:00] turion: huh? [03:00] ububegin: type man ls [03:00] Ububegin: directories are colored differently from files. executables files like scripts also have a different color [03:00] turion: people in channel would of course say ubuntu... :D [03:00] ububegin: and read about --color=auto [03:00] turion: did you ask that question in #debian too? [03:00] ive used ls... but ls only gives me desktop and a few other things [03:01] not yet:P [03:01] ah... you talking to someone else.. [03:01] singlesun: ls -a shows everything [03:01] jeffMASTERflex, excellent ;) thanks [03:01] c: U mean type --color=auto or google it [03:01] singlesun: you can type pwd, or you can change your shell prompt to include the full pathname [03:01] ububegin: type this: man ls [03:01] c, very good, i will look into this as well [03:01] turion: what do you mean by 'better'? [03:01] better for WHAT? [03:02] melting your brain? :) [03:02] i've heard debian is much better for eating babies. if you are into that of course. [03:02] Anyone know if you can update to 8.04 alpha using a different method then downloading and burning the iso ? [03:02] :O [03:03] is it true that ubuntu is for noobs? [03:03] an emoticon respose... obvious troll. [03:03] not necessarily turion [03:03] turion: it's for anybody, but of course, it's friendly to new users [03:03] depends on the noob [03:03] turion: it's all linux. who cares? besides, i'd say pclos is easier for noobs [03:03] c, jeffMASTERflex, usually i thought the path looked something like /mnt/hda2/whatevernameyoupicked/nextdirectory [03:04] c, jeffMASTERflex problem is even with a "ls -a" its not showing that device path... [03:04] is there a ubuntu dvd ? [03:04] box_: yes, the standard means: changing your repos in /etc/apt/sources.list, and dist-upgrading. It's not advisable at this time, though. [03:04] turion: yes [03:04] :) [03:05] where can i get it? [03:05] tnx [03:05] ive been looking [03:05] if my company blocks anything but port 80, can i set my linux box to port 80 and remote in using ssh from work? [03:05] turion: cdimage.ubuntu.com === Bunny is now known as Taggard [03:05] turion: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/7.10/release/ for the current stable release [03:06] thank you so much:) [03:06] singlesun - what are you trying to do exacly? [03:06] I've got a question about how to open up a certain directory in terminal [03:06] can i formmat a floppy in ubuntu?, how? [03:06] I wrote my project's build system using scons -- how can I make scons build a tarball? [03:06] c, i need to save a file using command line, its kinda complex... i will pm [03:06] CVD: yes, with fdformat [03:07] um [03:07] codyduncan: you can open any directory by typing "cd" followed by the path [03:07] !hists [03:07] I am trying to get wireless working (like every other noob with ubuntu) and having troubles even following directions in wikis/tutorials due to my lack of experience [03:07] yes [03:07] question [03:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about hists - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:07] codyduncan: that includes the ubuntu wikion wireless? [03:07] my /etc/hosts file is apparently broken [03:08] how do i fix it [03:08] after i download this dvd are there more like in debian? [03:08] jeffMASTERflex: the directions I am reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NdiswrapperOnAMD64 have directions to open a directory that is not included the one I am in [03:08] either they are faulty, or I am confused, and I am leaning towards the latter [03:08] turion: no, just one. The normal install is on CD. [03:08] how can i specify the username and password......... in a sudo mount -t nfs .... ? [03:08] buenas buenas [03:09] codyduncan: type "cd" followed by the directory you want to move to. If it's /etc then you type "cd /etc" [03:09] codyduncan: which directions? Have you follwed ubuntu-specific documentation? [03:09] !es | jonsacri [03:09] jonsacri: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [03:09] so the dvd is just like the cd but with more software? [03:09] turion: yes [03:09] oK:) [03:09] c, did you get my pm? [03:09] ill download it later;) [03:10] hey my title bars on my windows are HUGE, about every other boot. how can i fix this? [03:10] omg debian updates are so slow:( [03:10] What (.doc) filetype is best for retaining as much of hte format, font, etc of OOo files as possible (loading on M$ office) [03:10] they are still using openoffice 2.0 [03:10] O_O [03:10] jeffMASTERflex: the directions say to untar a file, and then from there, go to the debian directory, I'm assuming there is something I don't know about the debian directory (like, anything/everything) [03:10] tritium even tho the update is not advisable wouldn't update-manager -d work as well ?? [03:10] tritium: the directions are on the ubuntu help site, so I assume they are ubuntu specific [03:11] codyduncan: yes, that's what I've been asking... [03:11] codyduncan: to untar a file you type tar -xvvzf followed by the file name [03:11] from bash, is there some way for me to view hda1 hda2... etc? [03:11] box_: yes [03:11] What (.doc) filetype is best for retaining as much of hte format, font, etc of OOo files as possible (loading on M$ office) [03:11] singlesun: Yes [03:11] QUESTION: what should I do to scons so it would build a tarball? Is there a Builder or a function for that? [03:11] codyduncan: it extracts the tar into the same directory, then you just type "cd whatever the new directory is" [03:11] usr13, how so? ls -a did not list those [03:11] singlesun: ls /mount/point/ [03:12] hey [03:12] whenever i download a program, what do i do with the folder full of stuff i get? [03:12] does anyone know any way i can view and play itunes libraries over the network? [03:12] usr13, let me try that real quick [03:12] Hey, how can I get the kernel headers? Is there a package? [03:12] jeffMASTERflex: the file is untarred already, but to go from there to the debian directory? what does this mean? it would probably be helpful if you saw the directions I am following, as I am assuming my misunderstanding is just a dumb mistake https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NdiswrapperOnAMD64 [03:12] this is the only reason why i'm willing to switch back to windows [03:12] hello? [03:12] how can i create a partition to install Windows XP, from within Ubuntu? There is software I need to run, that only runs on Windows (that Wine can not run) [03:12] singlesun: You have to know where they are mounted. cat /etc/fstab [03:12] AzMoo: yes something like "linux-headers-X.Y.Z-W" [03:12] singlesun: mount [03:12] codyduncan: the debian directory is a sub-directory in a source package, not a binary package [03:12] i'm thankful for the tutorial at the Ubuntu forums, got my printer working :) [03:12] i just installed ubuntu sucessfuly except when i boot it asks for my login password, when i type no text comes up, is there a way around the whole login thing? [03:13] does anyone know any way i can view and play itunes libraries over the network? [03:13] In the terminal, I have already opened the directory for the file I untarred (nidiswrapper) [03:13] usr13, thats the problem... i dont remember what hda my linux part is on... so i am trying to find it out [03:13] AzMoo: it's a package -- look in System>Administration>Synaptic [03:13] eduard: Righty-o, cheers. [03:13] sneakmonkey: That is normal. [03:13] im using a windows program 'DriveScrubber' in wine but its say "there do disk , please insert one" but the floppy its already mounted [03:13] !patience | tomd123 [03:13] tomd123: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [03:13] tomd123: rhythmbox has native support for daapd (the network protocol iTunes uses) [03:13] tritium: I'm not sure what that means (sorry) [03:13] eduard: heh, no synaptic here, cmdline only ;) [03:13] codyduncan: well then that's it, you are in the directory, type "ls" to see what's inside [03:13] eduard: but it's all good, i used apt-cache instead. [03:13] AzMoo: do some apt-cache search [03:13] sneakmonkey: That is normal. Passwords are not shown on the screen, just type it in anyway. [03:13] give AzMoo a cookie :D [03:13] tritium: doesn't work [03:13] really? il try again but i did type it and it still wasnt working [03:13] codyduncan: it means that whatever you're reading, if it's referring to the debian directory, is referring to a source package [03:14] thanks [03:14] tomd123: yes, it does. I use it. [03:14] codyduncan: there is probably a directory named "debian: inside [03:14] jeffMASTERflex: there is no debian directory inside the untarred directory [03:14] QUESTION: what should I do to scons so it would build a tarball? Is there a Builder or a function for that? [03:14] sneakmonkey: Just carfully type it in correctly and it will work for you. [03:14] usr13, so i am trying to find out what /mnt/hda?? my linux partition is installed on [03:14] tritium: did you set any special commands, I'm also using a university network, would that matter? [03:14] tomd123: it isn't, however, able to play Apple's DRMed songs you buy from iTunes store. Rather, it can only play non-DRM songs in your iTunes collection. [03:15] Aw man, it doesn't have version.h ! I need version.h ! [03:15] need help installing flash [03:15] on 7.10 [03:15] What (.doc) filetype is best for retaining as much of hte format, font, etc of OOo files as possible (loading on M$ office) [03:15] tomd123: no special commands, and network shouldn't matter. What matters most is Apple's DRM in your case, likely. [03:15] ls /mnt/hda? [03:15] singlesun: type mount [03:15] Can anyone help me install Samba server? Here's the message I get when I try "sudo apt-get install samba": Package samba is not available, but is referred to by another package. I've checked, and samba-common and smbclient are installed. [03:15] !flash | codename [03:15] codyduncan: then just follow the instructions as is. [03:15] codename: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash - The Flash package is currently BROKEN, see « /msg ubotu FlashIssues » [03:15] singlesun: ls /mnt/hda? [03:15] tritium, it doesn't want to connect to any of the libraries, i have over 100 networked libraries [03:15] codyduncan: URL please? It must be having you build something from a source package? [03:15] ? [03:15] tomd123: are they songs purchased from the iTunes store? [03:15] so this file I'm dealing with, a .tar.gz ndiswrapper... [03:16] singlesun: To find out where or if it is mounted, issue command: mount [03:16] tritium, no, I play them fine over my windows laptop [03:16] tritium: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NdiswrapperOnAMD64 those are the directions I am (trying to) follow [03:16] tomd123: then you ripped them from CDs? [03:16] usr13, i am assuming since I typed that in... it is installed on the first partition === keith__ is now known as FMZ [03:16] tritium, no they are other people's music that are on the local lan [03:16] singlesun: /dev/hda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) [03:16] Don't want to spam, but really need help, I'm doing this for a charity, they need it ASAP. Can anyone help me install Samba server? Here's the message I get when I try "sudo apt-get install samba": Package samba is not available, but is referred to by another package. I've checked, and samba-common and smbclient are installed. [03:17] AzMoo: what exactly _are_ you trying to build? [03:17] what program can i use in Ubuntu to create partitions? [03:17] you'll see something like that [03:17] singlesun: To find out what is on the partitions, look at /etc/fstab [03:17] tomd123: they probably have DRM, in which case it won't work. Thanks to Apple for that... [03:17] codyduncan: what is the problem? the control.* files aren't in there? [03:17] but you don't really want to mess with that [03:17] singlesun: cat /etc/fstab [03:17] they lead me to http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93482&package_id=99148 (ndiswrapper) [03:17] why is it evertime i search for something related to debian, ubuntu shows all the time? I know ubuntu evolved from debian but still O_O [03:17] eduard: VMWare Tools. [03:17] tritium, again, this is a university, almost all songs here don't have [03:17] drm [03:17] c, usr13 mine is showing that hda1 is ntfs i suppose.... but im running off a virtual disk right now... so wont it put that as a temporary hda2? that i can save to? [03:17] jeffMASTERflex: the problem is that the directions are either leading me to a place that doesn't exist, or I am not experienced enough to access [03:17] eduard: It has a couple of modules that it needs. [03:18] so the control files are probably there, but I cannot yet get to them [03:18] singlesun [03:18] c, usr13 live cd [03:18] tritium, and would it really matter if the songs were drmed? since it doesn't even connect to the library to view the actual songs in the first place [03:18] AzMoo: so it need's the linux kernel's version.h ? [03:18] codyduncan: you know you don't have to explore the folders through the command line. you can search through nautilus through the directories [03:18] c, yes? [03:18] Anyone? Help with Samba server? [03:18] tomd123: yes, it REALLY would matter [03:18] singlesun: But if you just open a terminal and type: ls you will see what is in your home user's directory, (but there may not be any files there yet...) Oh, you are using live CD, never mind. [03:18] try apt-get install smb [03:18] eduard: Yep. It says it's missing and that I should rebuild the kernel, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to do that in Ubuntu. [03:18] FMZ: what are you trying to do with the SAMBA server? I have limited knowledge [03:19] Tuari_: "Couldn't find package smb" [03:19] tritium, well I know for a fact my roomate doesn't have drm music and I can't even connect to his either [03:19] Tuari_: samba, not smb [03:19] singlesun: ah, then you don't have a linux partition, so there won't be a linux partition. look for a memdisk, look where / is mounted [03:19] whats it called when u make your grub menu look kool? [03:19] AzMoo: i have that file [03:19] matthew_: I'm trying to install it so I can serve Windows shares from this box. [03:19] AzMoo: it's right under /usr/include/linux/version.h [03:19] c, excellent let me look real uqick [03:19] singlesun: If you are using live CD and there is a hard drive in your PC, it may or may not be mounted and readable, (but probably IS mounted and readable), in which case, use command: mount to find out. [03:19] FMZ: I think you install the samba package and smbfs [03:19] tomd123: you've enabled the proper plugin? [03:19] Here's the output when I try "sudo apt-get install samba": Package samba is not available, but is referred to by another package. [03:20] FMZ: update your package listing, then [03:20] jeffMASTERflex: (I'm assuming nautilis is the standard for viewing directories) I get what you are saying, but the problem lies in the fact that what should be there, is not there, or is somewhere that I don't know how to get to [03:20] AzMoo: if it's too stupid to find it, just copy it somewhere in the package's build directory [03:20] tritium, yes [03:20] I've checked, and samba-common and smbclient are installed. [03:20] jeffMASTERflex: namely, the debian directory [03:20] since i dont have internet excess all the time where can i download the pkg to play mp3s flvs mpgs ects? i just need the .debs since im on a windows box right now thanks:) [03:20] I'm getting a blank desktop after logging into gnome... signing out and trying to log in again. I created a separate user, and everything works fine. Any ideas where to look to troubleshoot? [03:20] hey guys I'm trying to install the asian font pack for Adobe Acrobat 8, but I dont what to do when it asks me this: Enter the location where you installed the Adobe Reader [/opt] [03:20] tomd123: DAAP Music Sharing? [03:20] yup [03:20] That's all you need to do, tomd123. [03:20] tritium: apt-get update, I'd assume? [03:21] FMZ: yes [03:21] eduard: Yeah, it's too stupid to find it. Why the hell is it there though, instead of with the rest of the headers? [03:21] wow, unfriendly chat tonight :/ [03:21] * pure`eigenVector gives ridge-meister a big warm hug [03:21] tritium, k thanks anyways [03:21] tritium: Tried it already... :( [03:21] does anyone know of a command to "restart" usb ports [03:21] No luck [03:21] codyduncan: why are you trying to build ndiswrapper anyway? it comes installed in gutsy [03:21] AzMoo: copy it in the source tree and try again [03:21] tritium, sry for being so stubborn, I'm just pissed at apple [03:21] pure`eigenVector: does that only happen when u log into ur new user? [03:22] tomd123: sorry you're having trouble. I hope you figure it out. [03:22] I'm on 64 bit version, and issues arose [03:22] !info samba | FMZ [03:22] fmz: samba (source: samba): a LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.26a-1ubuntu2.3 (gutsy), package size 3751 kB, installed size 9212 kB [03:22] FMZ: see, it's there... [03:22] mkquist... it works find for my new user... just when I try re-logging in with the old user [03:22] pure`eigenVector: First off, you will probably want to afford the new user some more priviledges. Edit /etc/group (to give new user rights to more devices / services). [03:22] o_O [03:22] This is a fresh install. [03:22] hi there [03:22] Wait... [03:22] This is Kubuntu... but, don't they use the same repos? [03:22] FMZ: perhaps you only have the CD enabled as your only apt source? [03:22] FMZ: yes [03:22] jeffMASTERflex: my wireless card is such that it gives people problems, often (broadcom 4318) [03:22] turion: you can check out http://packages.ubuntu.com [03:23] and just download the ones you need [03:23] tritium: Lemme see [03:23] codyduncan: in any event, look for the control files in the untarred folder. who cares about the "debian" directory, just do a search for the files [03:23] my gnome (that I use with Compiz at ubuntu 7.10) takes long to load... what can I do to fasten it up? [03:23] *get it faster [03:23] codyduncan: go to Places/Search for Files [03:23] First time using Ubuntu, any hints on how to use other apt sources? [03:23] usr13_: is there a quick command to assign my new user the same groups as my existing user? [03:23] pure`eigenVector: sounds liek the 'old' user is the new one... was gonna say you'll have to configure the new user to look like anything but default... but.. [03:23] eduard: Seems that version.h doesn't match the kernel headers package. [03:23] FMZ: System -> Administration -> Software Sources [03:23] Dex-Freudii: look into prelink [03:24] norv, what is that? [03:24] norv, what is prelink? [03:24] !info prelink [03:24] Dex-Freudii: I don't know much about that because once I've got a system up I don't like to unload much.. so I hardly bother [03:24] prelink (source: prelink): ELF prelinking utility to speed up dynamic linking. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.0.20061201-1ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 683 kB, installed size 1044 kB (Only available for alpha amd64 i386 powerpc ppc64) [03:24] AzMoo: well did you install the _corresponding_ version of linux-headers? [03:24] Dex-Freudii: http://www.crast.us/james/articles/prelink.php [03:24] mkquist: I was hoping to fix the problem with the old user. The first login after rebooting the box works fine... only if I sign out and re-sign in does it just sit there [03:24] pure`eigenVector: Edit /etc/group and add the new user name to the end of each line that has old user name, (preceeded by , and no spaces). [03:24] hi, does the ubuntu dvd come with mp3 support? [03:24] c thanks [03:24] eduard: yep. sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` [03:24] usr13_: thanks [03:25] usr13, c, mount gives me..... tmpfs on tmpfs(rw).... proc on /proc type(rw)... sysfs on /sys type sysfs(rw)... usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs... /dev/hda1 on /mnt/hda1 type ntfs [03:25] I think I'm being buggered by KDE on that one.. lol [03:25] AzMoo: what's the error? [03:25] The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does not match [03:25] your running kernel (version 2.6.22-14-generic). Even if the module were to [03:25] FMZ: ah, sorry. I gave you a Gnome menu reference. [03:25] omg, I just accidentally removed "places" and all that from my top panel, ridiculous [03:25] FMZ: another way to check is to edit /etc/apt/sources.list [03:25] would any other wine user here mind checking appdb.winehq.org and see if you get a too many connections error when loading the page? [03:25] oops, bad paste, sorry. [03:26] codyduncan: right click on the menu and add the menu bar applet again [03:26] pure`eigenVector: e.g. cupsys,user1,user2 [03:26] codyduncan: i meant right click on the pane [03:26] i can't get ubuntu printer settings to find my IPP printer. I somehow got it to work on another Ubuntu computer of mine though [03:26] venger: appdb seems to have a really sporadic web server [03:26] what should I prelink for speeding up gnome? [03:26] and how? [03:26] how do you convert .img to .iso ? [03:27] norv, alright i just needed to confirm i wasn't over using it and the error pertained to *my* connections [03:27] Dex-Freudii: prelink everything [03:27] jeffMASTERflex: golden [03:27] !iso | wolferine [03:27] wolferine: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [03:27] now onto my ACTUAL problem [03:27] That seems to be doing it. That config file says it was commented out because it was unable to verify. Wonder if that's because I wasn't hooked up to the network while I was installing. [03:27] norv, what is "everything"? I have to give it some sources don't I? [03:27] AzMoo: if it's using make, @@VMWARE@@ sure looks like an damn unexpanded macro. try make clean && ./configure && make [03:27] prelink /path/to/executable [03:27] tritium, thats pretty much useless, and I could have just done it myself [03:27] FMZ: yes, it sure was [03:27] wolferine: what is? [03:28] tritium: I love you. [03:28] Dex-Freudii: i'll install it and check, but I'm sure there's a 'recursive' one which links all executables [03:28] tritium, get yourself a coffee, I think your losing it [03:28] 010 [03:28] FMZ: heh, no problem ;) [03:28] norv, wait [03:28] wolferine: I gave you the information you requested. Not sure what you don't like about it. [03:28] usr13_: k, I've added my new user to the same groups as my old user... still can log in/out and in again just fine... [03:28] is there any other way? I mean [03:29] for example to avoid gnome to load some components? [03:29] tritium, as I said, that doesnt help AND I could have just hit the trigger myself [03:29] triggate, aka. you did not give me any help [03:29] Dex-Freudii: you can't pare much off of gnome... [03:29] tritium* [03:29] pure`eigenVector: Log out and back in again in order for the new user to realize new priviledges. [03:29] Hey, looking for the dwm header file, where can I find it? [03:29] wolferine: i think he's trying to say that .img might be the same as an iso file. no idea tho [03:29] eduard: http://pastebin.ca/882699 [03:29] norv, KDE is lighter right? [03:29] I used apt to install dwm, btw [03:29] Hey! im new here and Ubuntu is new for me, Question: is there an app that work like the windows app Defrag.. and disc clean [03:29] nothing [03:30] Dex-Freudii: it's the same [03:30] AzMoo: okay wait [03:30] usr13_: done... logged in and out twice [03:30] wolferine: sorry you're having trouble. Others have found it useful. [03:30] wolferine: mkisofs [03:30] tritium, I am sure they have [03:30] wat is the command to check whether a certain port is accepting connections... [03:30] wolferine: it seems you're either new to the terminal, or you're trying to do something very complex [03:30] jeffMASTERflex, so how come does gnome take longer than kde to load? [03:30] any soft to format low-level? [03:30] wolferine: but hey, others have been appreciate also [03:30] wolferine: mistype: http://www.fileinfo.net/extension/img [03:30] appreciative* [03:30] wolferine: man mkisofs [03:30] how to i connect to a specific irc server? [03:31] AzMoo: okay, tell me -- where did you get the source from? (link) [03:31] toulouse: /server [03:31] Dex-Freudii: errm, not really. Xubuntu isn't much lighter either [03:31] soft to clean hdd and defrag? PLZ [03:31] toulouse: /server irc.newserver.com [03:31] jeffMASTERflex: you have looked at the directions I am trying to follow? [03:31] norv, how much does your gnome take to load? [03:31] Dex-Freudii: it doesn't. maybe you just have good luck with kde. also, the ubuntu desktop by default loads the deskbar, and other items that take longer to load [03:31] KDE uses kded, it is faster at the cost of memory [03:31] <_elemental> Hello, I'm trying to setup a vhost (zfbase.localhost) on ubuntu using lampp, everytime I go to zfbase.localhost it redirects to zfbase.localhost/xampp/ [03:32] viktor: Not needed. It's done automatically. [03:32] ok thx [03:32] <_elemental> how do I keep this from happening [03:32] eduard: No link. It's part of VMWare Workstation. You click "Install VMWare Tools..." and it loads its own iso that has the tool packages on it. [03:32] codyduncan: yes, i saw the directions, they don't mean much to me, i haven't downloaded the package to see what's inside [03:32] !attitude | wolferine [03:32] wolferine: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [03:32] jeffMASTERflex, deskbar is the bar with Applications, Places and System menu? [03:32] AzMoo: okay wait a sec [03:32] viktor: Linux does not have filesystem defects that MS does. [03:32] * pure`eigenVector gives ubotu a big hug [03:32] tritium, stop fuelling the fire, your not helping [03:32] Dex-Freudii: no it's a little magnofying glass thing with the orange arrow [03:32] if i install wine what versions of IE will I be able to install? [03:32] wat is the command to check whether a certain port is accepting connections... [03:33] oh [03:33] wolferine: you mean "you're", not "your" [03:33] maxownz: Are you sure you need IE? [03:33] Dex-Freudii: virtually the same time for KDE as for Gnome, I just use kde because I'm used to it [03:33] LOL wow ... windows key + tab is pretty f-ing cool [03:33] Dex-Freudii: also i don't know if kubuntu does so, but trackerd is loaded all the time in gnome which indexes your home directory [03:33] ? [03:33] just for testing web development [03:33] tritium, enjoy being ignored [03:33] anyone experience lock up of keyboard ? the same machine never had such problem with debian. [03:33] maxownz: o [03:34] <_elemental> maxownz, I've found running winxp in a virtual machine to be more stable for such endeavours [03:34] how to keep system always fresh [03:34] jeffMASTERflex and tritium : thanks, no luck, but thanks. Adios. [03:34] AzMoo: did vmware ask you about "the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel"? [03:34] maxownz: I agree with eduard... [03:34] codyduncan: good luck [03:34] Heya where is the dwm header file stored in ubuntu? [03:34] jeffMASTERflex, how do I turn it off? [03:34] kenboo: yes but it came with seized video and mouse, being unable to kill X [03:34] wait I mean _elemental [03:34] <_elemental> ^^ [03:34] <3 [03:35] <_elemental> maxowns, if you run a windows browser through wine you aren't necessarily seeing hte page as windows will render it [03:35] norv: have you tried other Linux distros with the same machine? [03:35] jeffMASTERflex: strigi's running in KDE which appears even heavie (i.e. indexes more) [03:35] Dex-Freudii: it can be disabled in System/Administration/Services [03:35] exit [03:35] jeffMASTERflex: *heavier* [03:35] jeffMASTERflex, is it advisable to disable it? [03:35] usr13_: any other ideas for troublshooting this gnome login issue? [03:36] Dex-Freudii: if you don't search through your files often you can disable it without any problems [03:36] <_elemental> anyone know how to keep a vhost (using xampp) from redirecting to vhost/xampp ? [03:36] I feel ubuntu is unstable comparing to debian. [03:36] kenboo: yes, I'm actually trying to work on a meta distro. having come from gentoo I like source features, but binary distro is superior for ease and speed of set up [03:36] Dex-Freudii: also, if you don't have a printer, you can disable the CUPS printer service [03:36] hey guys how can i make my 3d decktop lika s cube ? [03:37] pure`eigenVector: There are only 2 issues, username and password. You are typing one of them in wrong. [03:37] Dex-Freudii: also, if you don't have bluetooth stuff you can disable bluetooth services [03:37] I have 3 part rar files. How can i extract them. Hopefully terminal [03:37] norv: if you do prefer source, there's always apt-get source, if you prefer to build anything [03:37] AzMoo: do you remember about me telling you to copy version.h in there? well delete it. [03:37] Dex-Freudii: those three services are safe to disable [03:37] jeffMASTERflex, bluetooth I don't have it [03:37] jeffMASTERflex, thank you very much [03:38] norv, also I thank you very much [03:38] AzMoo: that file is _supposed_ to already be there, or to be automagically generated [03:38] tritium: right. meta in the sense that you can have the best source and best binary distro at the same time. at the cost of some disk (though not as much as having side-by-side distros) [03:38] anyone know of a good web-based proxy script that will run on an ubuntu apache server? I'm setting up an ubuntu box to handle internet traffic for my work's WAN. We have internal applications we'd like accessable from the internet, but want to minimize the exposure of the internal servers. Any suggestions? [03:38] usr13_: un/pw isn't the issue, it works fine after reboot... but after logging out and back in is when it stops working [03:38] norv: :) [03:38] tritium: if there ever was a "best" [03:38] Stepa1: install 7zip and you can use the command 7z [03:39] tanubis might want to look into pfsense or ipcop [03:39] Stepa1: or download unrar for linux from the internet (rarlabs.com it think0 [03:39] <_elemental> u_u [03:39] tuari_ are those firewalls? [03:39] usr13_: I'll see what I can figure out. Thanks for the help [03:39] c: would 7zip work with rars [03:39] tritium: was even thinking of putting in a "instant livecd" feature, then realized someone (e.g. I) might have left a few 'pictures' lying around [03:40] <_elemental> Stepal yes [03:40] c unrar is available in the repos. or is it medibuntu. i'm not sure, one of those for sure [03:40] what is the command to check whether a certain port is accepting connections... [03:40] pure`eigenVector: I'm sorry. What stops working? [03:40] I believe 7zip works with rar, but I haven't used that in ages [03:40] usr13_: the desktop doesn't show up. the panels, the icons, nothing [03:40] Does anyone know how to generate an md5 hashed password that i can just paste into my shadow file? [03:41] rar that is, 7zip is nice (even its front ends to zip/bz/ar) [03:41] usr13_: just a brown screen with a working mouse [03:41] eduard: Yeah, automagically generated when you compile, but I obviously haven't compiled :\ [03:41] AzMoo: okay what exactly are you trying to do? [03:41] usr13_: is there any particular logs I should be looking for errors in? [03:42] how keep desktop fresh [03:42] eduard: Install the VMWare tools. [03:42] AzMoo: well isn't there an ubuntu package with them? [03:43] pure`eigenVector: You might try Alt-F2 and run gnome-panel [03:43] later [03:43] Ububegin: simple, use a client (for the server type that goes with the port). no connection = not accepting connections [03:43] AzMoo: oh okay forget it i've just read the doc [03:43] Ububegin: even a non-firewalled port can be closed, by simply not having a server to respond to it [03:44] Are there any other methods to extract rars? [03:44] Is there a way to display the results of a terminal command as an item on one of my panels? [03:45] eduard: It may be that the version of the VMWare tools is too old. Google seems to think so anyway. O [03:45] AzMoo: so you did the ./vmware-install ? [03:46] norv: I am trying to set up AXIS( a web service)... they mentioned type "netstat -npl will show your chosen port as accepting connections" ... when i typed the command, i dont see any port numbers... :? [03:46] eduard: Yeah, it does a bunch of stuff and then asks for the location of the headers. It can't find version.h so it errors. [03:46] eduard: It should compile a couple of modules and insert them into the kernel. [03:47] Ububegin: netstat -an |grep LISTEN |less [03:47] -anp works if you're root. [03:47] on a fresh ubuntu install how do you setup the screenlets on the bottom like you usually see from screenshots? === adante__ is now known as adante [03:48] "canont mount the volume(floppy), i could not determine the filesystem type and non was specified" [03:48] hello? [03:48] kenboo: unix domain sockets have no port, correct? [03:49] Dows anyone know how to change the percent of a synaptics touchpad used for scrolling. Right now It's like 50%, and that's really damn annoying [03:49] ah [03:49] thought IP heh.. [03:49] I have 3 rar parts, how can i extract it [03:49] anyone know what the .ms files in ~/.metacity/session/ are for? [03:49] i mean tcp [03:50] AzMoo: post the perl script "vmware-install.pl" to pastebin [03:50] I have a ubuntu system and am trying to setup an ircd-hybrid server, but when I try to connect to it I get 'connection refused' [03:50] what would cause sound file icons in nautilus to turn to document icons and render the files unplayable until logging out and back into the system ? [03:50] Stepa1: not sure, I thought you could just catenate them [03:51] Stepa1: but it's probably not that simple if nothing does it automatically [03:51] it there a firewall running by default in Ubuntu Gutsy? [03:51] How can i get a file to my computer from another computer that are both running linux in the same network? [03:51] WorkingOnWise: no [03:51] eduard: Give me a minute. I've got a later version that I've pulled from ESX Server, I'm going to see if that works before I start hacking the install script ;) [03:51] Stepa1: unrar [03:51] WorkingOnWise: there are also very few if any servers running at all [03:51] AzMoo: good idea [03:51] cheeese [03:51] what happening here [03:52] usr13_: can you lead me through the terminal steps please? [03:52] I just used the "start-up manager" to change my bootloader and after a reboot, grub gives a "file not found error" [03:52] Stepa1: unrar filename [03:52] I replaced the menu.lst with the one it backed up, still no effect [03:52] is there something I'm missing or am I going to have to reinstall grub? [03:52] NICOI69: use scp/ssh/fish which just require an ssh server on the other === mooredaddy is now known as m00redaddy [03:53] even if both folders are shared already? [03:53] norv: where can I go to get an explaination for how it is that the first 1024 ports of my ip are invisable but there is no firewall there to block anything. I do run pidgin for im, which I think are higher ports, but even 80 is invisable..... [03:53] Stepa1: unrar x file.rar [03:53] sorry [03:53] usr13_: how do i enable component multiverse [03:54] WorkingOnWise: invisible from where? [03:54] WorkingOnWise: err, if you don't have a web server running 80 should be closed [03:54] Stepa1: componet multiverse? [03:54] sorry - don't understand.

[04:04] czr: Ahh!!! thats the one... THANKS! [04:04] RiXtEr, took a while ;-) [04:04] Strangelet➲ Can you share /home ? [04:04] genii: I have always been a cautious user and as such, never an intrusion, virus or trojan on my system, but it was soooo much work. Now I sit on my Ubuntu Laptop with pidgin doing all my im clients (aim, icq, msn, gtalk, yahoo, irc, and myspace) and this thing is more secure with no effort that before after several hours of configuring ans installing ans checking. This is the minimum security level I can expect in a modern [04:04] czr: I've used it before, but its been a while [04:05] RiXtEr, I normally just use python RE anyway, hence the delay :-) [04:05] kahrytan: Excuse me?

[04:14] kahrytan: yes, I guess I assumed he had that :) [04:14] hellotherehere: you need to create a symlink [04:14] There is an error in the package [04:14] Cpudan80: yes I know, but how to create it? [04:15] hellotherehere: cd to /var/www and do [04:15] Cpudan80: works here [04:15] hellotherehere: ln -s [04:15] hellotherehere: sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin phpmyadmin [04:15] nickrud: yes, well theres an error in the package [04:15] Does anyone know if the server + LAMP stack can be installed over the desktop installation, or do I have wipe the drive and start over? [04:16] Cpudan80: ok, I guess I just got lucky [04:16] jcmorris_mts: You can install the LAMP stuff on the desktop version of ubuntu no problem [04:16] !lamp | jcmorris_mts [04:16] jcmorris_mts: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [04:16] nickrud: I think it is a relatively new thing to be honest [04:16] fatejudger: use "sudo mount --bind /media/disk/boot /boot" [04:16] <_elemental> need help with xampp vhosts, zfbase.localhost keeps redirecting to zfbase.localhost/xampp/ here's my vhost.conf http://pastebin.com/m58a6861 [04:17] Cpudan80: I haven't done an update recently (some other problems have scared me off for a while) [04:17] fatejudger: and then run "sudo update-grub" [04:17] Cpudan80: did it, but still nothing [04:17] part [04:17] hellotherehere: then you did it wrong [04:18] hellotherehere: were you in /var/www when you made the link thing [04:18] sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin phpmyadmin thats what I have done [04:18] eduard: okay, it's done; should I restart? [04:18] not just the LAMP stuff... I originally was going to run Ubuntu as desktop only... but I need to set up Subversion and become an SVN server. So I have to be running the server version, not the desktop. [04:18] fatejudger: any errors? [04:18] eduard: none [04:18] jcmorris_mts: you can run svn as a server on the desktop as well [04:18] hellotherehere: do ls -l in the /var/www directory and make sure the link you made actually works (should be light blue pointing to blue) [04:18] <_elemental> jcmorris_mts, you dont' have to run server to serve svn [04:18] fatejudger: swell -- try restarting now [04:19] I guess my question is: do I have to burn the server ISO and start over, or can I just download the server packages and install them on top of the desktop version? [04:19] really _elemental? are you sure? [04:19] <_elemental> yeah [04:19] jcmorris_mts: run tasksel and choose the lamp task [04:20] jcmorris_mts: linux is a server, at all times whether or not you run a desktop on it [04:20] <_elemental> what nick said [04:20] Is there a stand-alone program to launch .desktop files? [04:21] but a darn good server she is [04:21] What programming language requires to surround surround identifiers by the quotes `'? [04:21] <_elemental> um SQL? [04:21] <_elemental> :P [04:21] so if I want to set up Subversion so that a remote developer using Eclipse can connect to my box, you're all telling me that I can do it without running the server version of Ubuntu, correct? [04:21] <_elemental> jcmorris yep [04:21] yes, nickrud ;-) [04:21] Kuwanger: those are intended to be used in launchers [04:21] yea [04:22] jcmorris_mts: yes [04:22] jcmorris_mts: Yes, you don't need the full blown server install for that [04:22] <_elemental> jcmorris_mts: access via ip or if you setup the hosts file by host name [04:22] Cpudan80: did it, and now I see icon in the www directory, but when I try to reach it it gives me permission denied, the owner of the icon in www is root [04:22] nickrud: Um, exactly. And I'm asking if there's a stand-alone program to launch .desktop files. [04:22] jcmorris_mts: the packages are the same on both the server iso and the desktop iso, just different selections [04:23] you know it is funny. Most people I know start with the desktop version and then add the packages they need for server stuff [04:23] Cpudan80: shouldnt the www directory be owned by www-data [04:23] cool beans... so ... all I have to do is...?? (what's the easiest procedure?) [04:23] hellotherehere: sudo chmod 755 /usr/share/phpmyadmin [04:23] Kuwanger: you can put a launcher on the panel, or on the desktop, or in a menu. Those are the apps that use launchers. I'm not sure what you're looking for a standalone to do [04:23] hello, my shift, control, special, and caps key just stopped working, how do I fix it w/o rebooting [04:23] hellotherehere: no, should be owned by root [04:23] <_elemental> ok, so I'm guessing no one is running vhosts in xampp on ubuntu? [04:24] jcmorris_mts: install subversion and subversion-tools (useful things) and set up your svn repo [04:24] is there a init.d script I can restart [04:24] ok nickrud... I'm with ya... go on [04:25] Cpudan80: /var/www should be owned by www-data if apache is going to be writing to those directories [04:25] jcmorris_mts: that's it :) [04:25] does ubuntu allow you to connect to the gnome login screen through vnc? [04:25] nickrud: really, hrmm.... another error in the package then :-/ [04:25] I've been at this for hours and no luck so far could anyone please help me. I'm trying to install an intel wireless driver and a bluetooth mouse. Help on either issue would be greatly appreciated! [04:25] nickrud: Icewm's icewm-menu-gnome2 can open .desktop files, but it doesn't support KDE features like X-KDE-SubstituteUID. More than that, it doesn't seem to work right on some .desktop files. [04:25] ... and installing the LAMP stack? is that just run tasksel & choose lamp task? [04:25] Kuwanger: don't know a thing about icewm or kde. [04:26] What is a pager? [04:26] !lamp | jcmorris_mts (how I did it) [04:26] jcmorris_mts (how I did it): LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [04:26] Cpudan80: I got this chmod: cannot access `/usr/share/phpmyadmin': No such file or directory [04:26] while the file is there [04:26] xTheGoat121x: usually it means the panel app that lets you switch destops; or an app that 'pages' thru a text file [04:26] Kuwanger, check the icewm homepage and check for the current version that suports most of kde [04:26] *dir [04:27] nickrud: Nor should you, which is the point. If there was a stand-alone unified launcher, kde, icewm, and gnome could all use it to actually launch .desktop files so it'd not be an issue of incompatability/issues. [04:27] nickrud, ah, ok. [04:27] Is $160 a good deal for a mini-itx Pen M 1.6Ghz, 512 Ram, HD, power supply, 15" LCD? No case. Purpose: Run Ubuntu 7.10 of course! [04:27] way cool... you guys/gals rock... thanks to all! peace out - jcmorris [04:27] hellotherehere: then you didn't install the package correctly [04:27] Kuwanger: the desktop.org project is supposed to be working on that, has been for several years. The various desktops have to implement it and agree [04:28] what is the propper way to do WPA authentication anymore? If I do it with the gnome network manager it never connects, if I edit /etc/network/interfaces by hand and put all my info into there, then it works but only after I restart networking by hand. [04:28] xTheGoat121x: 'pager' has several meanings. One meaning is a program that outputs text in the format of 'pages' that fill your terminal. And when you press a certain key, the next part of the text will fill your terminal. [04:28] Cpudan80: thats how I installed it sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.0 [04:29] nickrud: Well, yes, they'd have to agree at least. I was just curious if there were any other stand-alone launchers to try out. [04:29] Cpudan80: what should be the chmod for the www directory [04:29] Kuwanger: none that I know of that are desktop agnostic [04:29] hi, whats the best video output to use with mplayer on a nvidia 6800? [04:29] hellotherehere: nothing, keep it as is [04:29] Is there any way to display the current condition of a device via the GUI? i.e. visually display "cat /proc/acpi/acer/wireless"? [04:30] Not sure what nickrud is talking about with the incorrect owner thing [04:30] Cpudan80: I will remove mysql and install it again from the synaptic [04:30] hellotherehere: phpmyadmin != mysql [04:30] hellotherehere: and also install phpmyadmin from the repos [04:30] using the ubuntu vnc server (vino or whatever), does ubuntu allow you to connect to the gnome login screen through vnc? [04:30] * Kuwanger sighs. [04:31] Cpudan80: nickrud: I will install both from the synaptic [04:31] Makes me wonder why there's a /usr/share/applications, if there's no universal launcher. [04:31] xTheGoat121x: you can add the network monitor to the panel [04:31] if i were to upgrade verison of ubuntu would all setting etc.. stay the same ? [04:31] Kuwanger: it's much improved over the old menu stuff, and whenever the desktops get their acts together, it'll be there :) [04:32] box_: yes [04:32] nickrud, well that's a bit delayed and doesn't always provide me with the info I need. It just tells me whether I'm connected to a network or not. I need to be sure that the device is on. [04:32] nickrud: you know about mini-itx motherboards? [04:32] xTheGoat121x: ah, I see. I look for the light :) [04:32] Fezzler: not enough to have an opinion on your board [04:32] hellotherehere: My /var/www/ directory has got the mode 0755. [04:32] nickrud: Sure, it's improved. But, it's still a mess. :/ [04:33] nickrud, I would love to. But... apparently that's not supported yet with my chipset... or something. [04:33] LoL [04:33] 8.04 alpha4 is due on jan 31st ? [04:34] is there a way to see a list of the files a package would install without installing the package? [04:34] Cpudan80 hellotherehere apache runs as the user www-data , for security.

I use Pidgin on both and wish to share my chat logs between both of them. I hope to change the Logs folder to /media/media/Logs, instead of the current folder (I would prefer if I didn't have to move my whole /home directory to a new one) [04:35] * Kuwanger goes back to contemplating the other 5+ issues he's having. :/ [04:35] box_: [04:36] box_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyReleaseSchedule [04:36] Do you use pidgin for just irc or do you use the other ones as well? === jd_ is now known as linuxpoet [04:36] !hardy [04:36] nickrud: no.... that's not true [04:36] Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [04:36] Aloha: install apt-file , then run apt-file update. you can search for what file is in what package, as well as apt-file list [04:36] nickrud: yes I know that apache run as www-data, and if you run apache as root it can run as user so you can get virtual hosts and allow users to upload and write with their users [04:36] How do I transfer files between my computer and a computer I'm connected to with SSH? :S [04:36] nickrud: I can upload stuff to my localhost - nothing is owned by www-root [04:36] nickrud, thnx [04:36] trav1085: xchat is decent [04:36] Strangelet, you could install geubuntu on your ubuntu setup instead of having it on a separate partition [04:36] Ah, yes === RadiantFire_ is now known as RadiantFire [04:36] trav1085: there's also irssi and bitchx, if you want to chat from a terminal window [04:37] I've used them before [04:37] Not bitchx, but irssi is pretty good as well [04:37] Cpudan80: hm you using the apache2 from ubuntu?

[04:38] nickrud: no, the actual files are stored somewhere [04:38] really? :>/ i haven't noticed anything with mine - what problems do you have? [04:38] not in the DB [04:38] how can i compile/install something that i cant remove first via apt because of tons of dependencies? [04:39] Cpudan80: I couldn't with drupal, and all the docs I've ever read say the same ... [04:39] nickrud: dunno [04:39] orbisvicis: yes, but it's extremely difficult to do it without breaking something [04:40] orbisvicis: difficulty does range from simple to extreme depending on the package, more accurately [04:40] nickrud, curl, libcurl [04:40] how do you kill something that kill -9 doesn't kill? [04:41] gfloppy [04:41] is anyone here using the freewins compiz plugin? and does anyone know the channel for compiz-specific questions?

Make sure that /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf has usr/local/lib in it [04:42] Strangelet, you can always change the splash back and change the gdm theme [04:42] pteague: sudo kill -9 proc [04:42] pteague: If that doesnt do it [04:42] hmmm... [04:43] chaosrl: #compiz-fusion [04:44] nickrud, what is libc ... and is it possible to make the new curl the default for apps such as curlftpfs? [04:44] fatejudger: well?

[04:44] fatejudger: okay no problem [04:44] eduard: it says it can't mount to hd(0,0) or something [04:44] RB2: there's nvidia-settings [04:45] fatejudger: does it say it's loading the linux kernel or initrd or something? [04:45] eduard: it tries to load it, then panics [04:45] orbisvicis: that conf file determines where the dynamic library linker looks for libraries. It will look in /usr/local/lib first (assuming that's set up as I said) , and the command line looks in /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin so the curl run will be the compiled one [04:45] oh okay then [04:45] spdf, that works! I know I saw it integrated somewhere else but that gets me what I need. Thanks! [04:45] RB2: np :) [04:46] eduard: I tried the recovery one too, and it runs through a few items before it panics [04:46] eduard: same error though, with the hd(0,0) mount [04:46] fatejudger: the panic is it something like "no initrd"? [04:46] orbisvicis: make sense to you? [04:46] eduard: yeah, that sounds very familiar [04:46] eduard: I should have written it down though [04:46] fatejudger: no its okay [04:47] orbisvicis: now, the question is why would you need a new curl, what's wrong with the ubuntu one :) [04:47] nickrud, awesome. [04:47] fatejudger: can you still mount ubuntu root partition? [04:47] how would I start Xserver remotely, so I can then use VNC to connect to it? I tried to SSH to the computer, and run startx, but that didn't work? Any ideas? [04:48] nickrud, curlftpfs seems to have problems with 7.16.4 - keeps disconnecting / reconnecting - makes it impossible to work [04:48] eduard: yeah [04:49] orbisvicis: never used that myself, have you checked the bug trackers and they say that using a later curl fixes that? [04:49] Motorsport3: vncserver [04:49] make sure /media/disk/boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic exists under that exact name [04:49] fatejudger: make sure /media/disk/boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic exists under that exact name [04:49] kenboo: I'm not sure what you mean? [04:50] jm: yes, you will need to use the binary installer provided by Adobe [04:50] kenboo: I don't need a VNC server, I need to start Xserver on a remote computer via ssh [04:50] eduard: it doesn't [04:50] fatejudger: okay what are the files down there? [04:50] eduard: it's initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic.bak [04:51] nickrud, according to the page 7.15.2, 7.15.3, 7.15.5 is broken but 7.16.1 works ... i posted on the forum, a user reported 16.4.2 was broken ... i thought it was worth a shot [04:51] Motorsport3: ok, so you want to access :0 screen via VNC. I think I've read about it somewhere. [04:51] .. 7.16.4-2 [04:51] eduard: the .bak part is messing it up, isn't it [04:51] fatejudger: okay open a terminal [04:51] Motorsport3: http://old.realvnc.com/faq.html#x0 [04:51] eduard: done [04:51] orbisvicis: you've done the footwork. I just recommend people don't change stuff like that willy-nilly ;) [04:51] kenboo: The client machine...*nix or windows? [04:52] fatejudger: "cd /media/disk/boot" [04:52] genii: that's Motorsport3's question. [04:52] !evolution [04:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about evolution - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:52] Motorsport3: The client machine...*nix or windows? [04:52] kenboo: Yeah I just caught it, thanks [04:52] !novell [04:52] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [04:52] !novel [04:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about novel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:52] "/usr/bin/expr: syntax error" -- is anyone familiar with the error on boot? [04:53] genii: its windows, but I may connect from unix at times. [04:53] * DShepherd is on Gutsy [04:53] kenboo: thanks, but that's not what I was looking for [04:53] orbisvicis: one last thing, it should be done by the libcurl installer but just in case: if the fuse thingy doesn't find the new libcurl, run sudo ldconfig to register the new library you installed [04:53] fatejudger: "cp initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic.bak initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic" [04:53] Where is the gnome session file located? it's not i .gnome2/session [04:54] eduard: was that the entire problem? [04:54] i am trying to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run....do i take off the run part or what do i do? [04:54] fatejudger: most likely yeah [04:54] fatejudger: now, [04:54] eduard: so this start-up manager I used is probably the culprit [04:54] lex0: you should use the ubuntu nvidia packaged drivers, not downloads off of nvidia.com, if you want support here [04:54] Motorsport3: There's quite a bit on it here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=347163 [04:55] fatejudger: paste your current /media/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst to pastebin [04:55] fatejudger: just want to check [04:56] eduard: http://pastebin.com/m4a3a77ee [04:56] eduard: that hd(0,0) error isn't going to affect anything, will it? [04:56] lex0: Its best to use the packaged drivers, however, there are instructions on nvidia's website for installing from their package ('sudo sh [FILENAME]') [04:56] Hey guys, where is a good place to ask some quetions about imapfilter? The current version in the distro doesn't seem to work properly. [04:57] nickrud, ok. One last thing... ./configure make make install will automatically place the libraries on /usr/local/lib (right?).... but if i wanted to change that, typically i run ./configure --prefix=/whatever ? [04:57] fatejudger: now tell me what subdirectories are in /media/disk/boot [04:57] orbisvicis: yes [04:57] fatejudger: (try to be fast i want to go to sleep :) ) [04:57] eduard: grub is the only subdirectory [04:57] eduard: no problem, I appreciate the help [04:57] fatejudger: is there any other subdir inside grub? [04:58] eduard: splashimages [04:58] fatejudger: okay thats good [04:58] fatejudger: now, run "sudo mount --bind /media/disk/boot /boot" [04:58] genii: That's close, I see what I can get from that post, thanks [04:58] spdf, i have an 8800gtx card and the nvidia accelerator for ubuntu sometimes crashes when playing games on wine [04:58] Does anyone know how often trackerd runs? [04:59] fatejudger: and "sudo update-grub" [04:59] Motorsport3: freenx is also good [04:59] eduard: okay [04:59] eduard: restart? [05:00] anyone know how to make lsof quick like it is through gnome-system-monitor's 'search for open files' [05:00] ? [05:00] I can't resize my NTFS partition [05:00] fatejudger: list of files under /media/disk/boot [05:00] nickrud, thanks for your time. Ill install it early tomorrow when chances of success favor me [05:00] I've run chkdisk /f [05:01] orbisvicis: sleep helps ;) [05:01] lex0: Do you have the newest wine packages (they have a repo of their own for the latest) [05:01] Anyone LFS? [05:01] And even when I've used gparted it says something along the lines of "extended something needed (1000 > 1004 or something) not yet supported, try a smaller size" [05:01] ; ) [05:01] fatejudger: just look whether initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic exists [05:01] eduard: yes [05:01] fatejudger: under THAT precise name [05:01] eduard: yes, it exists under that name [05:02] how would i access the newest package? [05:02] fatejudger: paste menu.lst to pastebin now [05:02] badkitty: there should be a channel for LFS [05:02] eduard: http://pastebin.com/d179ff0d2 [05:02] jrib yep ... they are all just sleeping [05:03] badkitty: it's offtopic here, but maybe someone in #ubuntu-offtopic can discuss it with you [05:03] jrib: :-) [05:03] fatejudger: now restart, and you COME BACK TO #ubuntu AS FAST AS YOU CAN [05:03] fatejudger: go! [05:04] Run Forest, Run! [05:04] How do I get a screen shot of a single window to include the title bar? [05:04] Shuggle: alt-print screen [05:04] * genii watches all the trees running away in fascination [05:04] hello, what is the name of the current release of ubuntu? [05:05] gutsy [05:05] scorphus: Ubuntu 7.10 [05:05] gutsy gibbon [05:05] scorphus: 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon [05:05] but it doesnt inlcude the title bar [05:05] Shuggle: yes it does [05:05] or at least does here [05:05] Works in windows as well [05:05] is there a way to make an archive i download from a mailing list appear as e-mails in evolution? [05:05] oh, gutsy! thanks! btw, where in the site can I get this information? I spent near 10 minutes looking for it [05:05] * syc_ brb dulu [05:05] jrib: not on mine, no title bars [05:05] ok then. next question: Why isn't a screenshot of a java program leaving out the title bar? [05:05] Motorsport3: are you using compiz? [05:06] err... including [05:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/3988/ -- anyone know why this is showing up in my boot log? [05:06] jrib: yep [05:06] I assume that's why [05:07] DShepherd: try reinstalling coreutils , a stab at the problem [05:07] Motorsport3, Shuggle: yeah, in compiz, it does not include the title bar for me either. With metacity, it works fine [05:07] anyone here successsfully installed ubuntu on a vista partition with realtek 8139 NIC? I can't get ubuntu to give me a valid mac address [05:07] Anyone know how I can troubleshoot why my media keys aren't working in Hardy, even though they did so in Gutsy? Gnome's key shortcuts recognizes an unique code for those keys and dmesg does not report nonexistant keys [05:07] nickrud, ok... i dont have the machine now though. coreutils have expr in it? [05:07] DShepherd: yes [05:07] !hardy | FrankQ [05:07] FrankQ: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [05:08] nickrud, ok thanks [05:08] among edgy, feisty and dapper, which one is the newer? [05:08] oh, thanks, jrib [05:08] Scolo: feisty (alphabetic now) [05:08] eduard: THANK YOU!!! [05:08] it works! [05:09] scorphus: warty, hoary, breezy, dapper, edgy, feisty, gutsy [05:09] scorphus: feisty [05:09] eduard: so it was just that initrd thing the whole time? [05:09] thanks! [05:10] fatejudger: im back [05:10] fatejudger: im very glad for you [05:10] is anyone using the freewins (freely transformable windows) plugin for compiz-fusion? [05:11] eduard: thanks again, I really appreciate it [05:11] fatejudger: actually, I think startup-manager crashed and leaved stuff unfinished [05:11] eduard: really? [05:11] fatejudger: that's my theory about it [05:11] eduard: well it seems to be well received by the ubuntu community [05:11] eduard: and I couldn't find anything in google about my problem [05:11] fatejudger: as for the .bak file, you're damn lucky you got it [05:12] eduard: so it seems plausible [05:12] eduard: tell me about it [05:12] eduard: at least it's there in case I ever need it again [05:12] fatejudger: i'll make a menu option for the LiveCD named "Recover Bootloader" [05:12] ok i extracted the wine folder wine-0.9.54 onto my desktop...now how do i install it..or what file do i use? [05:12] fatejudger: for the next release [05:12] thanks again, now let me install feisty on Xen [05:12] eduard: you're a developer? [05:13] fatejudger: you had the same problem as my dad -- he wiped his bootloader while reinstalling windows [05:13] nickrud, can expr prevent tty from spawing? [05:13] fatejudger: and yes i develop stuff [05:13] spawning* [05:13] eduard: heh, seems to happen frequently with those windows installs [05:13] fatejudger: BTW, if you ever have to reinstall windows, keep the LiveCD [05:14] nickrud, cause none of them, ttys, seem to be spawning.. causing the gdm to barf. what do you think? [05:14] fatejudger: if the boot menu does not start up, [05:14] eduard: there's a reason I keep it in my cd booklet [05:14] fatejudger: mount your root partition, [05:14] eduard: hopefully your new option in 8.04 will make these things a little easier [05:15] fatejudger: and run these two commands "sudo mount --bind /media/disk/boot /boot" and "sudo update-grub" [05:15] eduard: okay, I'll put that info in a txt file [05:15] fatejudger: write 'em down [05:15] Hye!! i would like to ask on Ubuntu how we can share Usb drive Over Lan? Thanxs [05:15] ok i extracted the wine folder wine-0.9.54 onto my desktop...now how do i install it..or what file do i use? [05:15] fatejudger: BTW, you can have linux partition access from windows [05:16] eduard: yeah, ext2ifs [05:16] fatejudger: good, so you're safe [05:16] !wine > lex0 (read the private message from ubotu) [05:16] eduard: I don't use Windows though, it's just there in case I play games [05:16] fatejudger: yeah, most of us do that [05:16] fatejudger:but thats all it is, a game console [05:17] fatejudger: now i have to go to sleep, tomorrow i have school [05:17] eduard: I used to use it full time during previous releases, but 7.10 seems to have made huge strides in usability [05:17] eduard: alright, thanks again [05:17] fatejudger: no problem my pleasure [05:17] fatejudger: cya === dahitokiri_ is now known as dahitokiri|lapto [05:17] eduard: cya === dahitokiri|lapto is now known as dahitokiri|mobil [05:22] I have gtk-gnash hogging up 46% cpu What should I do?

[05:32] anyone familiar with the "webcam_server" software [05:33] when i connect to a server via SMB and mount a share, i dont seem to see it in the list of mounted filesystems (mount); what gives ? [05:33] i am using an older version of ubuntu , is there a way for me to upgrade to the newest version without using a cd (live cd) [05:33] and just to do it online [05:34] getoo: synaptic [05:34] sudo apt-get update && dist-upgrade [05:34] chrisbrl88: k .. let me have a look [05:34] coudl anyone point me to a good site where it helps me install windows after installing ubuntu? [05:35] !dualboot > compy [05:35] compy: its better to install windows first. it has a tendency to overwrite grub when installed second. [05:35] chrisbrl88, ooooo ouch [05:36] lol [05:36] dang thats right windows first [05:36] compy, did you see the message from ubot [05:36] compy: it's not the end of the world, just get a grub boot disk === psilocyde is now known as Psilocyde [05:37] chrisbrl88, so if i have 300 gig HD how much do you think i should have for each... basically windows will be used for Steam (Portal, TF2, COD4) and other apps for school [05:37] !uprgade [05:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about uprgade - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:37] overclucker, oh ok, so just incase it does i can boot w/ the disk [05:37] !upgrade | getoo [05:37] getoo: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [05:37] ok, nm-applet is telling me that "no network devices have been found", but if I run lspci, I see my network card listed? what gives? [05:37] compy: if youre just gonna use windows for basic stuff, you could also go the VMWare route... that way you dont need to repartition [05:38] chrisbrl88, yeah i thought about that... just not sure about it handling games [05:38] compy: what happens is windows overwrites the mbr, so with grub boot floppy you point the mbr back to grub [05:39] Psilocyde, isn't it psilocybe? [05:39] compy: depends which games. games that use the unreal and quake engines almost always have native linux installers and run better under linux anyway lol [05:39] overclucker, so at this point i only have one partition.... will i need to make a new one prior to installing windows [05:39] uh huh === mojo is now known as mojo-away [05:39] compy, cadega can handle some games as well as wine. check their sites for mor info about running games in linix [05:39] compy: yup [05:39] ya mojo [05:39] cedega i dont want to pay for =[ === delirious is now known as dlrs [05:39] well wine is free [05:39] i yhought it was a witty play [05:40] thought [05:40] anyone good with webcam-server? http://webcamserver.sourceforge.net/ [05:40] ive got a noob question, im typing in my login password when i boot and its not working (double checked for case sensitive etc), ive reinstalled twice just to change my login and it still hasnt worked. is there some other way besides reinstalation to change the login information? [05:40] overclucker, and if i install windows first then when isntalling ubuntu i wont need to partition it will ask me to do so right? [05:40] morning [05:40] compy: do you need an app to resize the partitions on your drive? [05:40] compy: whats more, is that you will want windows closer to the front of disk, to get faster r/w speeds for your games [05:41] chrisbrl88, i have one on my ubuntu [05:41] hi :) i converted a bunch of FLAC files to .mp3 so i could put them on my friend's ipod ... and then i put the dir of .mp3 files in her "Music" directory ... however, i don't see the files when i try to play them ... what am i not doing correctly? :) [05:41] why wont ubuntu remember the terminal server licence from the licencing box? [05:41] is there no messenger in ubuntu for yahoo? pidgin fails. very bad [05:41] overclucker, so install windows first? [05:41] compy: yeah, it would be best to install windows over ubuntu, then reinstall ubuntu [05:41] laughzilla: what generation of ipod? [05:41] i still need my question answered haha [05:41] hello all...i just installed 7.1 and i was trying to configure my broadcom wireless card...anyone help?

[05:43] sneakmonkey, did you make sure you set up your profile correctly. try it with no password [05:43] overclucker, ok perfect [05:43] what is the latest ubuntu kernel ? [05:43] 2.6 [05:43] 2.26 [05:43] i got 2.6.22 [05:44] err yea === kodemage_ is now known as kodemage [05:44] so if i have 300 gb HD and i want steam games and some space left over for other windows only apps (for school so cant be too large) how much should i allow for vista (i know its unfortunate) [05:44] i have 2.6.22 on ubuntu 8.04 [05:44] cube_: is that the latest version [05:44] simonova - that's a bummer, thanks for letting me know. well i do see i have something called "yamipod" on my ubuntu box (it's not installed yet) which is supposed to make mp3 files playable on an ipod. [05:44] is there any way i can get past terminal server licencing ....the licencing machine works with windows but not with linux [05:44] compy: shame shame. vista is an atrocity. [05:44] compy: with vlite not that much [05:44] IIRC its 2.6.24 but its still in dev [05:44] how come k3b does not support OGG video? [05:44] bazhang, how do you do vlite [05:45] soldats: anyway i can install the dev version [05:45] portablejim: you need the codecs [05:45] chrisbrl88, haha i know its horrible... why do you think im on ubuntu now... i have more problems w/ vista that linux [05:45] i need to get my wireless to work [05:45] compy: ask in the windows channel [05:45] getoo, whats wrong with it [05:45] getoo: its the developmental version gutsy 7.10 is the latest version [05:45] compy: ##windows can help with that [05:45] soldat wont work , and if i use the 2.6.4 should work [05:45] I'm not familiar with that, I just know apple won't release the code needed to convert mp3's to the format needed to work on new ipods [05:45] compy: give the OS you plan on using more than the other around 2/3 of the drive... that works for me [05:46] i did some google [05:46] i just dont know how to install the dev-kernel [05:46] getoo, what manufacturer [05:46] dell 1525 [05:46] simonova: that is not the issue with new ipods [05:46] soldats - when i run the locate command against the ipod device, it comes up empty. [05:46] im in the same boat as getoo....i just bought it today... [05:46] chrisbrl88, thanks [05:46] n/p [05:47] chrisbrl88: I have the libvorbis packages (not the -dev packages) [05:47] Tygir: same here [05:47] i got it today [05:47] broadcom BCM94311 [05:47] yeap [05:47] bazhang: that's how i understood it, what is the issue? [05:47] yeah [05:47] i have no idea... [05:47] compy: well, the best layout would be 100mb ext2/100gb ntfs/197gb ext3/2gb swap [05:47] i dont wanna use ndiswrapper [05:47] trying to get some help here [05:47] simonova - this one's from about a year ago ... you're saying it won't work on this one either ? [05:47] portablejim: im not sure then [05:47] the newer kernel works just fine [05:47] think we might have to... [05:47] just not sure how to install it [05:47] laughzilla, no it should work [05:47] smoking time for me [05:48] install what? [05:48] brb [05:48] Tygir: 2.6.4 [05:48] laughzilla: give it a go, I got some friends that'd be thrilled if there is a way to make it work [05:48] overclucker, thanks [05:48] soldats - so how can i make it work ? [05:48] getoo, youll have to get the source for the newest version and compile it yourself [05:48] new kernel [05:48] soldats: what you mean? [05:48] soldats: k . thanx [05:48] simonova: laughzilla http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Media_Device:IPod [05:48] thanks bazhang :) [05:48] exit [05:48] np [05:49] getoo, I think there may be a modules backport [05:49] if i manage to make it work i'll let u know, simonova :) [05:49] spdf: k [05:49] getoo, I know of that solving an issue with the microphone [05:49] getoo, 2.6.22 backport [05:49] k [05:49] thank u sir [05:49] spdf: what do you mean...im in the same boat [05:49] im so confused [05:50] thanx guys [05:50] can anyone help me out? [05:50] i thought i was in the same boat as getoo... [05:50] bazhang, is vlite risky to do or is it 100 % safe [05:50] compy: this is #ubuntu ;] [05:51] is something wrong w/ network manager and wpa personal conections? [05:51] hi, I am downloading kubuntu now, I know that when its done it will ask me if I want to use kdm or gdm, which one to choose? [05:51] bazhang, i know... do you have any history w/ it [05:51] hellotherehere, gdm is fine [05:51] its standard [05:51] compy: my version of vlite is format C and install ubuntu ;] [05:51] the day-star will arrive in 5 hours [05:51] fyi , bazhang , simonova , soldats : this ipod has a capacity of 80 GB .. so according to that page bazhang pointed me to, it's either an ipod classic (1st generation) which i guess this isn't cuz it's got a color screen, or it's a fifth generation ipod. [05:51] the day-star frightens me [05:52] kdm or gdm will work fine but i highly doube there will be confison between [05:52] bazhang, haha [05:52] when ubuntu connects to windows shares, is it via samba ? [05:52] pmt_: yes [05:52] laughzilla, 5th gen [05:53] hmm ok, so when i am connected to one of these shares, how come i dont see it mounted via 'mount' ? [05:53] chrisbrl88: I think it was vorbis tools. [05:53] soldats, right [05:53] would someone mind taking a look at my error log and helping me out with this? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54018/ [05:53] chrisbrl88: I installed it and it worked. [05:53] then it should work fine. are you mounting the ipod and cping the files, or using amarok? [05:53] How to get access to add files in usr/lib/openoffice/program? Im admin on the PC! [05:53] 5th gens work fine [05:54] laughzilla: The 80gb is 5.5G [05:54] Intronix, use sudo [05:54] Is it no longer possible to use the "flat" desktop cube in Ubuntu? [05:54] simonova - i'm mounting the ipod and cping the files, except i notice that all the files in the Music/ dir are separated into files ie: F00 F01 F002 F003, etc, [05:54] ok thx [05:54] Hemebond: flat is two sides; strange cube ;] [05:54] hi guys [05:54] laughzilla, those files are how ipods register it [05:54] chrisbrl88: no it was not. it did not work. [05:55] No no. I mean flat as in it's not on a 3D cube, it's just one continuous wall. [05:55] does ATi FireGL v3200 work with opengl under ubuntu? [05:55] simonova - right, and all the files in those dirs are mp4a ... and when i stick mp3 files in there, i don't see them come up in my Rhytmbox application (to make sure they're there, etc) [05:55] laughzilla: You can use Rythmbox or gtkpod to add songs to the ipod. However, with new ipods, you need new versions of libgpod to get them to work [05:55] anyone ever go to the efnet ubuntu chat? [05:55] no^ [05:56] brb [05:56] in the wifi radar prog i get stuck on acquiring ip address..any idea why? [05:56] use rythmbox to transfer them to the ipod in the first place [05:56] Hemebond: thus not a cube; the wall is still possible though--under general in ccsm adjust virtual desktops [05:56] i think i must have installed libgpod last night when i installed soundconverter, but i'll double check. been a long night :D [05:56] laughzilla: The libgpod included with gutsy will corrupt the database on the newer ipods [05:56] soldats, ok reason i ask is because people are dicks there, you guys in here are actually friendly and helpful... i appreciate it. Thansk to all ^^^ [05:56] spdf - i'm on ubuntu 7.10 [05:57] how to use sudo? [05:57] compy, this server and channel are the official ones. i wouldnt be anywhere near someone on an efnet ubuntu channel [05:57] !sudo | Intronix [05:57] Intronix: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [05:57] haha it makes sense... the people there arent friendly. Their response is !google [05:57] even though i have already checked there [05:57] Intronix: sudo the command you want here; sudo apt-get install package for example [05:58] ok thx!!! [05:58] compy, well dont ever go back there :) [05:58] trust me i wont [05:58] np [05:58] spdf - i am using ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon, in fact [05:59] laughzilla: Yep, thats gutsy. I actually corrupted mine before I found the packages and instructions [05:59] after i install windows and ubuntu and am back up running... ill be back here [05:59] so should i just upgrade my libgpod ? [05:59] does anyone know how nautilius figures out what programs handle what file type? It's been driving me nuts for days. [05:59] well off to bed... gotta go skiing tomorrow later and thanks [05:59] bye [05:59] compy, lucky see you [06:00] laughzilla: Yes, the newer version supports the newer classics and nanos [06:00] thanks spdf i'll try to upgrade it now [06:00] simonova, normally if its a text document it uses gedit but usually it isnt accociated with anything so you have to set it yourself === verselet_girl is now known as cE_mNzZ_SmA [06:01] laughzilla: I believe its in backports [06:01] i have 0.5.2-2 of libgpod [06:01] I'm trying to write a file manager in perl, I was hoping there was some handy little conf file I could use [06:01] http://gtkpod.wikispaces.com/Hooking+Up+the+iPod this has something too [06:02] must i uninstall it before i can install it properly, spdf ? or will the "Mark for reinstallation" work fine normally? [06:02] laughzilla: You'll want to get get 0.6.0 at least [06:02] simonova, tell it to look for gedit or use mousepad if nothing else or even use vi [06:03] hi ah i was just using synaptic (faster for many packages i know i want but all their names) and deleting things in /home/var (from another install -removing it) and apt goes oh noes can't get a lock - i look there is no /var/lib - what can i do ? [06:03] cool ... thanks bazhang and spdf .. i'll upgrade my libgpod if i can figure out how somehow, as synaptic doesn't offer me 0.6.0 in the menu of options [06:03] laughzilla: http://lilserenity.wordpress.com/2007/12/22/virgin-mobile-praise-ubuntu-and-ipod-nano-3g/ [06:03] laughzilla: That's the site I got the packages from. He says to install them in that order, but you need to reverse them. [06:04] soldats: that's simple enough, but I also want to make it capable of opening many different file types. [06:04] laughzilla: Afterwards, it worked perfectly. Just follow the instructions [06:04] i cant connect to my router wirelessly. it used to work. I'm getting this error in my /var/log/messages: http://dpaste.com/33098/ [06:04] I'll just write a script that does a bunch of checks on installed programs and make my own conf file, shouldn't be too hard. [06:04] spdf - follow the instructions, in reverse order? [06:05] ok i'll try it :) [06:05] NetworkManager is terrible [06:05] laughzilla: No, just reverse the the order you install the packages [06:05] mm? [06:05] simonova, well the conf should detect what the extension is and refer it to the app [06:05] laughzilla: libgpod2 before libgpod-dev [06:06] is there a way to get apt to rescan what i have installed given i now have no database for it ? [06:06] ah, ok, thanks spdf :) [06:06] ok more error will reinstall (just installed again) [06:06] dpkg -l should do [06:07] dpkg-query: cannot scan updates directory `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/': No such file or directory [06:07] root@majora:~# [06:07] hey, if there's a package in hardy that I want to use in gutsy, how do I set up apt-get to install it? [06:07] extension detecting isn't the hard part, I just didn't want to hard code in program names, because that would mean if new programs come out that handle the same file type, the source code would need to accommodate. [06:07] see the problem [06:07] whats that thing you can install where it gives you a bunch of different desktops on a cube? [06:07] !cube [06:07] Compiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware. They can additionally provide "desktop special effects" (such as the "cube") by means of plug-ins. Join #compiz-fusion for help and support with advanced features. See also « /msg ubotu compiz » and « /msg ubotu effects » [06:07] thanks dbmoodb [06:07] simonova, thats why new versions of file managers come out [06:08] ccsm phuzion [06:08] how do I remove an RSA key on my local computer for a remote computer that I ssh'ed to? [06:08] !ssh revoke [06:08] it should give a list of avaliable apps to use based on what the user wants to use [06:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about ssh revoke - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:08] drat [06:08] true... looks like I have a bit of a project [06:09] laughzilla: You won't need to jump through hoops to get it working in hardy though, its all updated [06:09] Motorsport3, it's under ~/.ssh/ [06:09] simonova, things take time. and they take even more time to be up to date. good luck with it. i really hope it turns out well [06:09] spdf - good to know ... [06:10] gregorovius: yes, but I don't know which key is for the remote pc [06:10] the file is encrypted [06:11] spdf i should remove my libgpod2 via synaptic before i upgrade it with the files i download via the ftp from that url you showed me, right? [06:11] Alright .. I'm having a nightmarish time getting eclipse to work after upgrading to Gutsy. Every time I open a file I get "Unable to create this part due to an internal error ... ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.core.runtime.Plugin" [06:11] it's not encrypted, it's just the IDs of the hosts [06:11] how do you escape from a cat or less command [06:11] Under the plugin manager I've got big red X's next to Eclipse Product SDK and its children [06:11] Ububegin, ctrl+c or q [06:12] Have reinstalled .. no help. Disabled subclipse, again no help. Any ideas? [06:12] hello can someone help me with changing permission for mounted usb volumes so i can read and write using gnome/nautilus [06:12] soldats: thanks , q seemes to work [06:12] cool [06:13] where can i get WICD? [06:13] i tried synaptic [06:13] laughzilla: No need, just install them [06:14] you have to google for the website newb [06:14] newb, http://wicd.sourceforge.net/ [06:14] cool, thanks spdf i am trying it now [06:14] ok...how can i install it? [06:14] does anyone here use eclipse? [06:14] heh [06:14] Shuggle: Yes, having issues with it ATM [06:15] newb, they have a repo: deb http://apt.wicd.net gutsy extras [06:15] Can anyone remember what the old option name was for having a flat, instead of cube, desktop? [06:15] newb, follow the instructions on the site, http://wicd.sourceforge.net/wiki/doku.php?id=faq#how_do_i_install_wicd [06:15] Its there any custom area screenshot prog out there? and no the gnome screenshot its not a custom are screenshot [06:15] newb, also take a look at http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php [06:15] Hemebond: wall [06:15] bazhang: Really? Hmm okay. [06:15] amidaniel: what problems? is your print button disabled? [06:16] could someone direct me to an appropriate chatroom suitable for newbie/recent convert so I can get the skinny on virtualization/emulation for GIS software [06:16] ? [06:16] GIS? [06:16] gis? snakeyes [06:16] Shuggle: Hmm ... haven't checked that :) Now that you mention it, yes, it is :)) .. Add that to my list of things that aren't working :)) [06:16] Geographic Information Systems (like Linux GRASS) but I need to get info on ESRI products [06:16] Is there an easy way to downgrade eclipse using apt-get? [06:17] amidaniel: yeah. i'm needing to print some code for class, but i have to use another program to print it [06:17] !info eclipse [06:17] eclipse (source: eclipse): Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.2.2-3ubuntu3 (gutsy), package size 125 kB, installed size 412 kB [06:17] spdf: thanks man i got that installed...can you offer up any help in making my BCM94311 card work? [06:17] see above amidaniel [06:17] Shuggle: Did you recently upgrade? [06:17] bazhang: Um .. yeah, that's not really any help :) [06:18] amidaniel: no. i just installed using the "add/remove" program [06:18] !downgrade | amidaniel [06:18] amidaniel: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [06:18] amidaniel: before that i installed the sun java runtime to get jgrasp to work [06:18] bazhang: Well, upgrading broke my system. Now I would like to unupgrade [06:18] amidaniel: likely true for packages as well [06:19] (Eclipse is also just one of many things that the upgrade broke.) [06:19] amidaniel: have you tried to completely un-install it including the settings programs? [06:19] wicd gets stuck at obtaining ip address... [06:19] Shuggle: Yup. [06:19] newb, check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=649038 [06:19] newb, there's some pointers there [06:20] k [06:20] amidaniel: odd. all I know is i have 7.10 and installed sun java jdk then eclipse [06:20] amidaniel: however, i did not upgrade, jsut install [06:20] gtg though [06:20] how can I get compiz running without needing to have a terminal window open? [06:21] Yup, that's my exact setup atm ... Ubuntu 7.10 Eclipse 3.2.2 [06:21] alt f2 phuzion [06:21] Completely removing again and reinstalling === cZw0|b3ttL is now known as cZw0|w0rk [06:22] hi [06:22] phuzion: you could daemonise it(just append a & to the command) [06:22] bazhang: I don't think that's it. Or it has changed. [06:22] hi again [06:22] and how do I get it to start at boot? [06:22] EmmerP: Hello [06:23] hi spdf [06:23] why nobody tell me about the run import name.png? [06:23] bazhang: Desktop wall now just zooms out showing you your desktops. [06:23] Hemebond: first need to adjust the number of virtual horizontal desktops [06:23] anybody usinghibernate? [06:23] bazhang: I have 4. [06:24] hmm, now my top and bottom menubars are gone, wtf [06:24] Hello [06:24] Hemebond: 4 = cube ;] [06:24] xinetd vs inetd, anyone have any experience one way or another? [06:24] Nice to join [06:24] hsize 4 vsize 1 numeber desktop 1 [06:24] then u get cube [06:24] Yeah. In old Compiz/Beryl versions there was an option under the cube settings to flatten the cube. [06:25] So when you "rotated" you actually just scrolled left/right. [06:25] which ISO do i use for installing on a C2D laptop? just the standard i386 one ? [06:25] MrNaz, yes [06:25] phuzion thanks [06:25] Yep [06:26] C2D is still technically i386 architecture [06:27] spfd: thanks man that helps alot, now i just need to figure out where to get the b43-fwcutter from [06:27] spfd: could you look here and point out to me which one i should download? [06:27] newb: bcm43xx-fwcutter [06:27] newb: its in the universe repo [06:27] extreme [06:27] ahhh [06:27] spfd: i thought i already have that one and it doesnt work... [06:28] Ok, Xchat is taking over the entire screen after I enabled compiz, any ideas what to do? [06:28] newb, though, those instructions are for the 2.6.24 kernel :S [06:29] http://img152.imageshack.us/my.php?image=snapshot5aw9.png [06:29] /ban === verselet_girl is now known as cE_mNzZ_sMa [06:31] newb, there's a link in the first post to another post for updating your kernel as well [06:31] newb, in fact, that link points to a more complete fix for b43 it appears [06:32] so, no one's got anything for my issue? Now firefox is doing it on my other desktop, as well [06:32] phuzion: What do you mean "taking over"? [06:33] spdf: what site is that again? sorry too many open! [06:33] how can I upgrade my pigding automatically ? [06:33] newb, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=646755 [06:33] phuzion: either restart ubuntu, or restart gdm [06:33] its fullscreen, and without using alt-tab to get out of it, I can't minimize, or otherwise switch out of the program [06:33] hello can someone help me with changing permission for mounted usb volumes so i can read and write using gnome/nautilus [06:33] novato_br, pidgin IM? [06:33] phuzion, yeah [06:33] phuzion: alt-space to bring up the windows menu [06:33] phuzion, how can i do that? [06:33] phuzion: can you restore/unmaxmize there? [06:33] novato_br, sudo apt-get update pidgin [06:34] great, phuzion [06:34] spdf, nothing happens with alt-space [06:34] hi guys, i ran this command... [06:34] sudo ./simple_axis_server 9090 [06:34] sudo: ./simple_axis_server: command not found //got this error,but this is clearly present in the directory... anyone knoes [06:34] but in repo is it pidgin.im is on 2.3.1 version ? [06:34] Ububegin, have you done chmod a+x simple_axis_server? [06:34] Oops. [06:35] hello [06:35] how can i avoid installing all language while getting one package? [06:35] phuzion : no, i will do that... now [06:35] phuzion: Hmm.. Isn't there a "Minimize" plugin for compiz? check the compiz settings [06:35] phuzion, doesn't working [06:35] novato_br, sorry, its sudo apt-get install pidgin [06:35] phuzion: I'm just shelled in, so I can't check my desktop. [06:36] phuzion, i want not to install [06:36] phuzion, i want upgrade it [06:36] phuzion: thanks, at least i get a diff error now.... [06:36] spdf: so i first have to update my kernel to 2.6.24? [06:36] novato_br, if it needs updating, install will update it [06:36] ok [06:37] i am installing lyx, but it brings inside all language [06:37] anyone know why GLX would suddenly start crashing X? [06:37] i need only italian and english :D [06:37] newb, that's what that particular person has done. The newer kernel includes newer modules for your particular card [06:37] Literally, anything that I run that involves GLX -- glxinfo, glxgears, etc.... would just crash X. [06:37] i see... [06:37] novato_br: The version for gutsy is 2.2, hardy has 2.3. There's no backport as far as I can see though [06:38] i'm not gutsy, spdf [06:38] ! [06:38] I'm running Kubuntu Gutsy, video card Nvidia GeForce 7300GS. [06:38] i'm on feisty fawn [06:38] Any input on this is appreciated. [06:38] Why does the compiz-compcomm-plugins-main package want to remove compiz? [06:38] spdf, is it necessary to restart compiz to get the minimize plugin working right or something? [06:39] spdf - ok so i did the upgrade according to those instrux and ran rhythmbox again ... now how do i import my mp3 files to the ipod ? i tried to do "import directory" but it did not add anything as far as i can see, to the rhytmbox list of audio files in the ipod. [06:39] and yeah, all my programs are missing the top bar now, no title, no minimize, nothing [06:39] and they're locked in place on my screen [06:40] phuzion: metacity crashed then. You'll ahve to restart X, or ALT-F2, and type in metacity [06:40] phuzion: open ccsm and check move windows plugin [06:40] Isn't it metacity --replace? [06:40] phuzion: i think it is a platform error... U have any idea on this error by any chance [06:40] ./simple_axis_server: error while loading shared libraries: libaxis_server.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [06:40] Hemebond: If something else is running, I belive [06:40] Oh. He has decorations... nvm then. [06:41] laughzilla: You can drag the directory into the rhythmbox window I believe, the add folder worked for me though [06:41] ok, alt-f2 isn't opening now [06:41] so, is there a way to do this through terminal? just metacity & [06:41] ? [06:41] phuzion: Yeh, that'll work [06:42] phuzion: or add the run command applet to yuor panel [06:42] ok, it said i need to replace the current window manager [06:42] phuzion: metacity --replace & [06:42] Ok, I still have no title bar on Xchat [06:43] phuzion: phuzion, hmm.. perhaps you should restart gnome then [06:43] That would be gdm --restart? [06:43] can i use fat32 in Home? [06:43] for [06:43] CVD: no [06:44] phuzion: ctrl-alt-backspace'll do it quick and dirty for you, or just log out [06:44] CVD: not ntfs, either ;) [06:44] ok thanks [06:45] is there any reason why sound events do not work? [06:45] ok, I'm back [06:45] phuzion: How's it look now? [06:45] spdf, everything works [06:45] at least, as far as I can see [06:45] let me run some stuff real quick and test it [06:45] how do you get sound events to work? [06:45] !ask [06:46] 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. :-) [06:46] er, wrong command [06:46] phuzion: nice, you'll want to make sure some of those plugins are enabled (ie. Resize, Move, Minimize) [06:46] the login sound works but nothing else [06:46] brandon__: Events for what? [06:46] brandon__: system->prefs->sounds sounds tab [06:46] yeah [06:46] i set them all [06:46] i can preview [06:47] but it doesnt take effect [06:47] other than the login sound [06:47] i check both boxes at the top [06:47] and have logged in and out [06:47] is there somewhere I can poke at copy paste? [06:47] !enter [06:47] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [06:47] for some reason why I copy something, I just paste ŸŸ [06:47] sorry spdf [06:47] np :) [06:48] i shall learn the , key [06:48] I have to keep my shell window small so I can see whats behind it, so too many lines and I have to page up :P [06:48] i understand [06:48] spdf, yakuake? [06:48] Ashex: Sneeze? [06:48] spdf it does not work by dragging the dir to rhythmbox, however, it works by "dragging" the song files themselves from the .mp3 dir on my hdd to the songlist in rhythmbox !! and it works !! i'm listening now to one of the songs on the ipod (after having safely disconnected it) :) THANK YOU dudes!!! i appreciate this very much, and i know my friend will be very glad! :) [06:48] hehe [06:48] spdf, ok, what if I want to use animations? it says that minimize already provides a feature [06:49] spdf, it's a terminal that hides at the top of the screen, hit a hotkey to have it drop down [06:49] phuzion: Animations takes care of it [06:49] nice work laughzilla [06:49] any ideas spdf? [06:49] on my deal? [06:49] spdf, Oh, so its ok to disable minimize? [06:49] Ashex: Using PuTTY [06:49] laughzilla, awesome [06:49] phuzion: Yeh, it replaces it [06:49] laughzilla: There you go man, np [06:49] laughzilla: Took me an afternoon tog et that far, glad I could get you up and running [06:49] hello everyone, i have a series of questions... i am about to switch over all the computers in my house to ubuntu... however... before doing so, I am concerned about 1 thing, the router that everyone uses is a Belkin wireless G router.. the driver files and installation CD will not run on Ubunutu... is there a solution for this? [06:50] nickrud, good timing... lol.. you are the #1 problem solver.. lol [06:50] singlesun: You shouldn't need to install any software to use the router [06:50] Hey anyone knows ... how could this genre of error usually means [06:50] singlesun.. dont need it [06:50] ./simple_axis_server: error while loading shared libraries: libaxis_server.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ...thanks [06:50] singlesun, there is more than likely a web based interface that you can use to administrate the router [06:50] brandon__: I hadn't tried the sound events, but they aren't working here either [06:50] spdf, ah, ouches [06:50] nickrud, its kinda weird huh [06:51] spdf, brandon_, phuzion there is 1 problem, i forgot the password to the router ;) [06:51] brandon__: yes. I would have sworn I had it working once. Looking for a bug listing ... [06:51] brandon__: I don't use sound events to eb honest, I almost always have music or something playing so its kind of distracting [06:51] singlesun, just do it if it doesnt work which i dont know why it wouldnt a decent linksys wireless is very cheap [06:51] singlesun: Reset it (there's almost always a little pen sized hole on the router) [06:51] singlesun, then an option is to reset the router [06:51] * laughzilla metaphysically emits good karma towards bazhang, soldats, spdf, nickrud, and all others who were so helpful :) [06:51] haha [06:51] spdf, yeah, but i just download an awesome sound pack [06:51] spdf, brandon_, phuzion so i will have to reset the router, and then without being able to use driver software to reconfigure router? [06:51] What programming languages besides M4 require to surround identifiers by the quotes `'? [06:52] * soldats mentally hugs laughzilla [06:52] * nickrud basks in karma [06:52] singlesun, reset the router, and administrate it from http://192.168.1.1 [06:52] 192.168.1.1 in your browser... may be differnt for yours though [06:52] spdf: so i just have to update my kernel and get the new firmware and it should work? [06:52] you always do that nickrud [06:52] :P [06:52] newb: According to that person's post, thats what they needed to do [06:52] Ok, so how do I add more desktops, I want an actual cube in Compiz [06:52] soldats: according to launchpad, I have no karma , it all leaked way [06:52] phuzion, but I have to connect the router directly to my ethernet port right? to do that? [06:53] *away [06:53] Anyone else remember the name for the option to have a "flat cube" where "rotating" just scrolled along your desktops? [06:53] :( [06:53] i are sorry [06:53] spdf: well i updated the kernel and followed his instructions for the firmware update... [06:53] phuzion: Enable the cube and rotate cube plugins [06:53] singlesun, not necessarily, I can administrate my WRT54G via wifi [06:53] spdf; now how can i tell if it worked? [06:53] http://tinyurl.com/yo9jxm [06:53] newb: You followed all of the instructions? [06:53] spdf: yeah.. [06:53] spdf, I have those on, I just don't have enough desktops [06:53] yeah and fyi the files i copied over were: The Complete Woodstock (211 of the 237 known songs) [06:53] isnt it desktop wall or plane hembond? [06:53] phuzion: Go to the general options [06:53] hey guys, whats the command to take a backup of my system, making sure i DONT backup the media folder (so i dont back up my ohter HD) ? [06:53] brandon_: Nope. [06:54] phuzion: Somewhere in there there's the setting for changing the number of horizontal desktops [06:54] I just found that this error is due to absence of the library, but libaxis_server.so is present in another folder.... So wats happening... [06:54] ./simple_axis_server: error while loading shared libraries: libaxis_server.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ...thanks [06:54] spdf: it was a python script...wasnt that hard... [06:54] hello [06:54] i think if you hold a certain key combo it does it [06:54] spdf, wow thanks [06:54] phuzion, hmmm ... so basically reset this thing by unplugging, and holding a pin down in the reset ... then connect to router via IP, and set up as an access point? <-- (and remember password) [06:54] anyone knows why texlive package install ALL language support? [06:54] newb: Aight, well, should be good after a restart if you've followed all of the instructions [06:54] brandon__: Those are just for moving around. This was (possibly in Beryl) a way of flattening the cube into a continuous series of desktops. [06:54] i used to have a program that you could click that would open up many programs at once(maybe it was a script). Can anyone recall its name? [06:55] hemebond, no i accidentally did that one time in compiz i believe [06:55] Hemebond: ctrl alt down arrow [06:55] brandon__: By holding down the "initiate" button, I could just drag the mouse left/right to move along the desktops. [06:55] singlesun, no, don't unplug [06:55] hemebond, let me check [06:55] Seems u guys r busy now.... maybe i will come back later.... [06:55] bazhang: That unwraps it, but only to left you move windows and then zoom back into a desktop. [06:55] bazhang, try super+e is another compiz desktop thing [06:55] only to *let [06:55] Anyone who can help me with a problem conserning running X on a 7800 Nvidia, with a dual screen, monitor and TV (Can give info if needed) [06:56] I'm a fan of the expo wall myself [06:56] Pmsg [06:56] Installing some software, and I need python-clutter-0.5-0, where there are libclutter-0.5-0, and all the other 0.5-0 packages available in the debian.o-hand.com gutsy/ repo, but just not that single one - anone know where I might find it? [06:56] spdf: am i supposed to do the restricted drivers thing now? enable that? [06:56] newb, yess,. enable it [06:56] newb: I think thats just if you have an nvidia card [06:56] phuzion, one sec, let me boot up my other computer... you say you can administer the router from another wireless adapter based pc? [06:56] most likely [06:56] it really depends on the manufacturer's settings [06:57] phuzion, well im booting the old tank laptop quick [06:57] Ububegin: the command can't find the library, try LD_PATH=/path/to/folder:$LDPATH ./simple-axis-server [06:57] bazhang, do you know the command to take a backup of my system? [06:57] newb, just do the kernel update and then follow the B43 instructions under 'Miscellaneous fixes' [06:57] I have been googling and trying 7 diffrent distroes the last month, but no luck [06:57] normally in the router you can specify if you can access from wifi [06:57] In fact! You could even have it zoom out the way you can with the normal cube, which means you then zoomed out to see a strip of desktops you could slide left/right. [06:57] Ubuntu is what is closest [06:57] Ububegin: /path/to/folder:$LD_PATH that is [06:57] Releasing the button zoomed back in/snapped to the focused desktop. [06:57] soldats, well lets hope it still thinks i can... lol [06:57] !info rbackup [06:57] Package rbackup does not exist in gutsy [06:57] super+e.... [06:58] Hemebond, alt+arrowdown or super(windows key)+e [06:58] hemebond [06:58] bod_: That's not it. [06:58] Anyone got a Nvidia 7800GTX 512 connected to a HDTV ? [06:58] bod_: This was a cube option in previous versions (may have been Beryl). [06:58] checkinstall is good to create .deb? [06:58] singlesun, well old the reset button for like 12 seconds then when you get the passwrod prompt type admin for name and admin for password [06:58] anyone know how to open multiple programs in single click? [06:58] bod_: there is info at !backup ;] [06:58] What programming languages besides M4 require to surround identifiers by the quotes `'? [06:58] nickrud: Gimme a second, lemme digest what you are saying... [06:58] bod_: And worked a little differently. [06:58] soldats, still waiting for laptop to boot, as soon as its up and running i will update ;) [06:58] luddite, with a script its possible [06:58] Hemebond, they are the only two that let you see all 4 desktops as a strip and be able to move them,.,.to my knowledge [06:58] spdf: i did follow the instructions....but how do i enable the wireless now? [06:59] bazhang, cheers m8 [06:59] soldats: i had it on 7.04, but after upgrade its gone [06:59] ctrl alt dwn [06:59] that does it [06:59] unfold cube [06:59] np ;] [06:59] nickrud: it should be path to folder or file itself [07:00] * soldats shrugs shoulders [07:00] brandon__: Is it a continuous band of desktops that let you scroll left/right along them? [07:00] got to work--back in a while [07:00] Anyone here run torrentflux? Is it normal for mysqld_safe to peg one of my CPU cores when I'm running torrentflux? [07:00] newb, the instructions aliased it to eth1. So, using the network manager, you should be able to use eth1 to connect [07:00] Ububegin: just like commands, libraries have paths. The standard is /usr/local/lib:/usr/lib , the folders that libraries are found in [07:00] brandon__, i suggested that he said no,.,. maybe it was something beryl had that compiz doesnt? seems strange [07:00] no clue luddite sounds like a script to me [07:00] why i always hada to use the left ALT and not the Right? [07:00] yeah [07:00] hemebond.. that is it [07:00] brandon__: It's not. [07:00] Hemebond, it will only have been as many desktops as you have set ,.,. and like we say,. ctrl+alt+arrowdown super+e do that [07:01] hello. Is there a way to run firefox remotely (from ssh) and redirect the video to the local x server (where the ssh daemon resides)? [07:01] spdf: yeah that would make sense...now in the network manager tab i have 2 wired connections...no wireless [07:01] Hemebond: yup that is it [07:01] newb, So, when you boot into the 2.6.24 kernel (the grub menu will have that, and your old 2.6.22 kernel), the b43 module will load up and you should be able to use it [07:01] bod_: That's not it. I've been through all the plugins in Compiz Fusion, I don't think it's there at all. This was a Cube plugin option. [07:01] hemebond, also... if you talented you can press middle mouse button, then alt ctrl down, and scroll with you mouse [07:01] phuzion, soldats i got a timeout when i tried to connect to the router from my laptop by using 192.168.1.1 [07:01] napsy_, with X forwarding its possible but im not fluent in ssh X forwarding [07:01] going now for real.. [07:02] singlesun, try 192.168.15.1 [07:02] Hemebond, explain exacty what you think it did,. and what is a cube option,. because its always a cube, so its always a cube option ,.,.although mines a hexagon atm,.,.lol [07:02] soldats: I don't want to display firefox to my x server [07:02] nickrud: whoa, wat a solution... no errors now... but do i have to do this all the time.... [07:02] soldats, trying now [07:02] i want it to show on the server's x server [07:02] what kind of router was it? [07:02] soldats, no luck... should i reset it now? [07:03] try it [07:03] bod_: This was an option for the Cube plugin, like "inside cube" that made it flat, also allowing wrap-around, so you could just scroll continuously along your desktops. [07:03] brandon_, belking wireless G [07:03] soldats, well lets hope i dont lose connection... if i do... hopefully i will be back.. lol [07:03] Hemebond, 1 sec,.,.checking now [07:03] youll lose connection but just come back [07:04] Hemebond, in the Cube plugin there is an unfold cube ? [07:04] bod_: I don't believe it's available in Compiz Fusion; but if I can remember the name of the option perhaps I can find it somewhere else. Perhaps in another plugin not included in the Ubuntu package. [07:04] napsy_, afaik its possible but im not fluent with it sorry [07:04] bod_: Yeah, but that just unwraps the cube to let you pick a desktop. [07:04] singlesun.. model? [07:05] bod_: And move windows about, then select a desktop to zoom back into. [07:05] Ububegin: you can create an alias in ~/.bashrc for that: alias sas="LD_PATH ..... /path/to/simple-axis-server" or add the folder path to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/simple-axis-server (create the file) , that's where library paths are defined. If you decide to do the second, run sudo ldconfig after adding the new file [07:05] singlesun: Check your ip with ifconfig, change the last number to 1, and try [07:05] spdf: so i can choose which kernel to boot into? or it will auto boot into 2.6.24? [07:06] newb: hit esc when it comes up with the grub messaeg, you'll get a menu, select 2.6.24 [07:06] Hemebond, if this plugin was in beryl, that means its probably either already in compiz or is compatible,. you could *theoreticly* package the plugin from an old version of beryl then add it as an extra plugin to compiz [07:06] spdf: while its booting? [07:06] newb: Just after POST (the bios messages, and such), it says something about hitting ESC for grub menu, and counts down from 3 [07:07] nickrud: sweet man... tks [07:07] Ububegin: yw [07:07] spdf: oh yea...i got it that time...so now i know its booting into 2.6.24 [07:07] spdf: so your saying it should automatically work? [07:08] Ububegin: what does yw mean [07:08] newb: according to the instructions it should [07:08] Ububegin: you're welcome [07:08] nickrud : :D [07:10] singlesun [07:10] What programming languages besides M4 require to surround identifiers by the quotes `'?

[07:12] spdf: already done that! [07:12] spdf: quick question, am i going to have to click ESC every time i boot to ensure that it boots into the 2.6.24 kernel? [07:12] newb, good stuff, when you upgrade to Hardy, it'll work for you out of box [07:12] spdf: what do you mean upgrade to hardy? [07:12] is hardy worth getting right now? [07:12] newb, there's an option you can add to grub (if its not already enabled) to savedefault [07:13] newb, hardy, the next version of ubuntu coming out in April [07:13] Yea? [07:14] newb, off the top of my head the line is "default saved" [07:14] can anyone tell me software for designing poster plz [07:14] spdf: ahhh ok..how do i add something to GRUB? [07:14] cmec, poster? [07:14] spdf: also, how come wicd manager isn't finding any other networks? [07:15] cmec, the gimp or inkscape can create poster size images [07:16] newb, I'm not sure, I don't acutally have a wifi card [07:16] newb: (which, in turn, means I don't use wicd) [07:17] newb, does the network manager find them alright though? [07:17] spdf: what do you mean network manager finding them? [07:17] newb, ubuntu's network manager, does it list networks? [07:18] newb, perhaps wicd is setup on the wrong interface, or something. I'm not really sure to be honest [07:18] spdf, the administration>network [07:18] is that what you mean? [07:19] Hey guys i have a problem,.,. i installed a package called backuppc and now i want to remove it but i cant,. synaptic says :E: backuppc: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 and if i try to sudo aptitude purge backuppc i get an error,.,.,. how do i remove an unremoveable package? [07:20] bod_: Hmm.. Are you running another instance of synaptic/apt/dpkg? [07:21] spdf, no its not that error,. it seems it cant remove backuppc because backuppc itself is corrupt maybe,. il try installing it and configuring it again and try removing it after that === brandon__ is now known as parrishilton---t === parrishilton---t is now known as parrishilton--tm [07:22] Hi room.

[07:23] hypnus9: There's a mysql-secure-installation or something along those lines that'll walk you through that [07:24] ok [07:24] newb: try "iwlist eth1 scanning", I believe. I don't have much experience with wifi stuff though [07:25] newb: spdf: that needs to be root to initiate a new scan [07:25] newb, sudo iwlist eth1 scan [07:26] how do i rip a dvd [07:26] jay-oh-en: I use dvd::rip [07:26] spdf, whats that file name in repos [07:27] jay-oh-en: dvdrip, in multiverse [07:27] awesome....you got it again [07:27] thanks guys!

[08:27] ok /media /storage doesnt exist [08:28] xivanari: 'sudo mkdir /media/storage' [08:28] ohyer [08:28] ok [08:28] ck3k: yeah - /etc/rcX.d/S??kdm [08:28] it didnt prompt for a password or anything [08:28] xivanari: 'sudo umount /dev/sdb1' [08:28] I know this is a windows based question but its just slipped my mind and usually i know the answer but can one dual boot two windows os's off the same partition?

[09:05] anyone here happen to use kde or knetworkmanager..............how do you refresh the network list [09:05] idefix, what are you looking to do, its likely that whatever you want to do can be done with a script more easliy [09:05] it's just repeating actions [09:06] phuzion, so how? [09:07] idefix, well, what programs are you using in your macro? [09:07] gimp [09:07] spdf: i only see processor 0, this all happend because i spent (wasted) my money on an intel MB that said it had RAID but ubuntu live or alt do not see the raid partition. so i followed some weird tutorial online about installing ubuntu on raid0 but now i need the cd to boot and lost my dual core [09:07] Hmm, what exactly are you doing with the images? [09:07] xMS_user: So, you'er booting from the cd? [09:08] phuzion, there's no macro recording option in gimp, so my question is how do you record a macro in linux in general? [09:08] spdf: i can oly boot from the cd and then choose to boot from the hd. with no cd i get grub error 15, so i use the cd [09:08] I have to do the same to about 40 pictures, after 20 I'm sick of it [09:09] il y a toujours un meilleur façon [09:09] phuzion?!?! anyone else?!?! i beg of you, help me! [09:09] idex consider command line image tools like image magik [09:09] what are you doing to each image? [09:10] Yeah, I was going to suggest imagemagick [09:10] xMS_user: Hmm,, 15: Error while parsing number.. No other errors?

[09:10] yes!

[09:11] yes phuzion [09:12] phuzion xMS_user except you actually sort of have to look to make sure it's the right threshold value [09:12] Please let me know how to fix "Cannot find or run the base session script..." problem [09:12] bentob0x: How is it shared over the network? [09:12] is there any repository with the latest nvidia drivers? [09:12] idefix, so you're trying to automate the only step in the process, and it requires human input anyways? [09:12] it's shared using samba at the moment [09:13] well I could just say 'what the heck' and hope there's some magical value of success [09:13] 0 bentob0x, that would have been my suggestion, for cross OS compatibility [09:13] bentob0x: /etc/samba/smb.conf, and add writeable=yes [09:13] how can you hack websites? [09:14] wrong channel for that, bro [09:14] oko will dig into smb.conf spdf [09:14] idefix: that question can not be explain in irc [09:14] but I'm quite bright [09:14] I have my own site etc... [09:15] is there any repository with the latest nvidia drivers? [09:15] buy a book on vulnerabilities and read, lol [09:15] idefix, how old are you? [09:15] does it matter? [09:15] idefix >> might i suggest #iarzd3133tz0rhacKz0rchannel [09:15] just curious [09:15] there's noone in there [09:15] *facepalm* [09:15] depends what you mean by 'hack' exactly, if it's digging in there and mess with code to try to get something together quickly, have a look at #php idefix [09:16] !offtopic [09:16] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [09:16] idefix.. if its a website, I would look at cirt and then look for vuln [09:16] if you mean abusing security vulnerabilities, that's another story ...

[09:16] !offtopic [09:16] idefix: This isn't the place for that, Google to your hearts content. [09:16] !ubuntu-datingadvice [09:16] !offtopic [09:16] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [09:16] LOL [09:17] btw idefix, sudo apt-get install imagemagick to install it and http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-options.php to use the right combination for your needs [09:17] isn't it possible to make a macro simple with commands like "go to this window, alt-T-C-T ? [09:17] " [09:18] that hasta be possible [09:18] can a partition be resized on the fly in linux? [09:18] idefix: do you know if it is true that if you hit ctrl+alt+backspace your computer blows up? [09:18] bradc@isogenic:~$ apropos women [09:18] women: nothing appropriate. [09:18] xMS_user: Now now.. [09:18] LOL [09:18] O:-) i've been bad [09:18] I'm trying to build the hardy kernel on my gutsy machine (I need the restriced-modules package, and I'm not going to upgrade libc to get it.) I do apt-get source linux-image-, and in the linux-2.6.24 directory, do 'debuild -us -uc -b'. After several hours, I get the error "check FAILED (nice one Tonto, go get the Lone Ranger)" when the script 'abi-check' is run. Anyone know what I can do to fix this? [09:19] hey phuzion you were in there [09:19] EnsGabe: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=646755 [09:19] what? [09:19] idefix: did you get the image stuff? [09:19] yes [09:19] but isn't GIMP omnipotential? [09:20] EnsGabe: Although, I just saw your libc business.. So, that's not going to help you [09:20] is there a REAL tutorial on how to install ubuntu gutsy on raid0 [09:20] idefix: if you are omni-smart you could do scripts that do anything for oyu [09:20] you* [09:20] am trying to resize my ntfs partition using gparted, but am getting lock key beside the ntfs driver,also beside root driver [09:21] anyone here happen to use kde or knetworkmanager..............how do you refresh the network list [09:22] ok, idefix, let me ask you a question [09:22] before you came in here, did you use google? [09:22] no, but google isn't everything.. [09:23] How do you read core dumps? i tried to nano it but it just came up with all kinds of funky characters [09:23] Google has seen way more webpages than this entire channel has collectively, squared [09:23] so no one uses raid0 with gutsy [09:23] xMS_user, no, just no one in this channel [09:24] so, ok, idefix, do this: type ubuntu macro tool into google and hit I'm Feeling Lucky [09:24] xMS_user: few people will use raid 0 as a technology [09:25] that is what i meant. ok, kill the raid project. word of advice to all in the channel, if you spent less than $120 on your MB and it says it has raid, it probably does not have real raid [09:25] xMS_user: everyone knows that [09:25] ikonia: what else is there? raid1+0? [09:25] xMS_user: fake raid is not a good technology full stop - even less in linux [09:25] xMS_user: Linux software raid is very good [09:25] khell: the partition is in use u can't do anything with it [09:25] xMS_user: the majority of people will use raid 1 or raid 5/6 [09:26] ikonia: so linux soft raid is better than fakeraid? [09:26] xMS_user: MUCH [09:26] wtf, where did floodbot 2 go? [09:27] phuzion: that language is uncalled for [09:27] ikonia: crap. so the performance hit would be against by cpu right? [09:27] xMS_user: correct, exactly the same as it does in fakefaid [09:27] fakeraid [09:27] what?! so why did i upgrade my MB!?>:o [09:27] xMS_user: only you can answer that question [09:28] ikonia: ok, here i go-->cuz i was too lazy and too hasty [09:28] whats the config application for compiz? [09:29] ikonia: so i will turn off fakeraid from my bios and use softraid. do you know of a good tutorial b4 i go to google? [09:29] xMS_user: there is a guide on help.ubuntu.com and I wrote a detailed explaination respose to a user post on ubuntuforums.org that will help you [09:29] xMS_user, why do you want to setup raid? [09:31] I'm able to write to a file 'area.tst' but when i try to get this program to use it the program says permission denied when trying to access it. I can't chmod - it says 'operation not permitted'. Ideas? [09:31] what probgram ? [09:31] Hello to all, i have a question, is there any gps software for ubuntu? [09:31] a MUD [09:31] getmoney: not that I'm aware of [09:32] Flynsarmy: where is it trying to write, and exactly what file/location ? [09:32] i see. [09:32] onats: i hear raid0 gives better performance. until i get my quad-core and my 3more gigs i thought it would be worth it, but now that i see it will use my cpu it might not be the best thing [09:32] getmoney: I use my GPS device with linux over bluetooth, but I'm not aware of any tomtom style software [09:32] xMS_user: you hear wrong [09:33] im trying to use my usb-gps [09:33] ikonia: ../txt/area.tst: Permission denied is what it says in the log. its /home/etrials/Rom24/area/area.tst [09:33] xMS_user: raid 0 is a false economy and also provides a high risk or system failure/file system corruption [09:33] Flynsarmy: please show me the permissions on the file [09:33] ikonia: ok and raid5? [09:33] ikonia: How do i find it out? [09:33] xMS_user: how many disks to you have [09:33] Flynsarmy: ls -la /home/etrials/Rom24/area/area.tst [09:34] ikonia: -rw-rw-r-- 1 etrials etread 2348 Jan 31 00:42 area.tst [09:34] Flynsarmy: what is the user launching the mud process ? [09:35] !iptables [09:35] 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). [09:35] ikonia: enigma [09:35] Flynsarmy: then you need to either make enigma the owner of that file - or you need to chmod it to be world writeable [09:36] ikonia: your bluetooth gps is hooke up to your laptop running gps software? and what software are you running if you dont mind [09:36] Flynsarmy: if etrials owns it, then you'll have to chmod from that user, or use sudo [09:36] getmoney: I'm not aware of any Tom tom style software [09:37] hey guys [09:38] im at work, and i need a GUI application to connect to ORACLE databases install on windows 2003, to alter,query,creat stuff ...etc any recommendations ?? [09:38] lordmorgoth: the oracle tools, things like svrmgr [09:38] lordmorgoth: I assume you want the tools to run on linux ? [09:38] hi, my firefox suddenly stopped working ''Segmentation fault (core dumped)" any ideas what I can do to diagnose/fix this problem [09:38] ?? [09:38] ikonia, is there a free version of those that runs on linux [09:39] BubblegumTat1: Can you still start firefox? [09:39] ikonia, yeah exactly i wanted to run on my ubuntu :) [09:39] lordmorgoth: contact your Oracle vendor for license agrements [09:39] im the only linux ortiented personal here, and im trying to convince everyone else to migrate :) [09:39] lordmorgoth: why - leave them be if they are happy [09:40] lordmorgoth: contact your Oracle vendor. Or look at 3rd party tools like Toad [09:40] ikonia, oh i know toad lemme c if they have a linux clone [09:40] spdf: no, it returns that immediately [09:41] lordmorgoth: they don't have a "clone" but there i a linux version [09:41] great [09:41] im off back to work thanks ikonia [09:42] aha! [09:42] spdf [09:42] BubblegumTat1: Yes? [09:42] firefox will start in safe mode with extensions off [09:42] I suspect my firebug install went apeshit [09:42] BubblegumTat1: I that language is uncalled for [09:42] BubblegumTat1: Yes, its likely an extension is causing problems. [09:42] BubblegumTat1: is firebug a different product ? [09:43] ikonia: Its an extension for FF [09:43] it's an invaluable firefox plugin for web developers [09:43] ah, thank you [09:43] usually awesome [09:43] BubblegumTat1: and apparently broken :D [09:44] BubblegumTat1: from the command line try "export MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1" then run firefox [09:45] spdf: so it would seem [09:45] spdf: it's all good [09:45] I uninstalled a bunch of extensions [09:45] and everything is made of gravy [09:45] this always happens [09:45] I come here [09:45] Delicious gravy... mmm [09:45] ask a question [09:46] then solve it [09:46] Its the asking that gets your mind movin' [09:46] bah [09:46] I don't believe in that stuff [09:46] it's obviously luck [09:46] Act of god, even. [09:46] phuzion what better is that one graphic program to the almighty gimp? [09:51] can any1 recommend a good GUI front-end for SSH? [09:52] Kibbles: There's a port of PuTTY I believe [09:52] <_ruben> Kibbles: gui for ssh? ssh is plain text, not much need for a gui i'd say [09:53] you can use gftp to transfer files through ssh connection [09:53] but i prefer using scp [09:53] (which has no gui) [09:53] it do [09:54] GUIs are nice for saving login information, and configuration for tunneling and such.. PuTTY on Windows is very nice [09:54] or, there are scp-guis [09:54] use the "mount server" [09:54] Places->connect to server [09:54] then click ssh, then you can drag'n'drop stuff over scp to that server [09:54] mavi-, :) hmm... i kind of never needed one, so i guess i missed them [09:55] places->connect to server has support for several protocols [09:55] ooh new question [09:55] its really nice =) [09:55] else gnome ssh manager is nice to manage your regular ssh sessions [09:55] urgh can someone recommend a good X mail client for me, evolution is the most unstable P.O.S I have ever seen in my life :p [09:56] its driving me completely insane [09:56] thunderbird [09:56] from mozilla [09:56] join #jquery [09:56] hrm, may as well migrate to thunderbird [09:56] help [09:56] karl_: Er.. [09:57] lol, i thought that would trigger some help [09:57] I havent used IRC for 6 years or so [09:57] karl_: Asking a question triggers some help as well... [09:57] Not much has changed [09:58] apart from my memory of course [09:58] nm found it [09:59] karl_, i gues you need to /j #channel [09:59] ;) [09:59] lol, I thought he was asking us to join. [09:59] spdf: thanks... that's what I was thinking about [09:59] he was trying to open F1 :O [09:59] am trying to resize my ntfs partition using gparted , but am getting lock key beside the ntfs drive and also my root drive , any suggestions ? [10:00] thanks meborc [10:00] Kibbles: gnome has an ssh manager as well, I haven't used it though [10:00] khelll: Is the ntfs partition mounted? [10:01] ikonia: still there buddy? i got disc when you asked me how many drives i have [10:01] xMS_user: pardon? [10:02] spdf: what is it called and where can I find it? [10:02] i got disconected [10:02] yes am using kubuntu 7.10 , am able to read and write to that drive [10:03] ikonia: you had asked me how many drives i had [10:03] xMS_user: ok, how many drives do you have [10:03] n [10:04] Is there Colloquy for linux? [10:04] khell: just use a gpartd livecd [10:04] i broke my xorg file and my screen glitches instead of booting i think when i edited xorg file i broke it [10:04] boot from the cd and do the resize [10:04] worse i mean [10:05] i changed the depth from 24 to 16 but im not shure that was the problem cause it was a black screen before [10:06] 3x160gb and 1x250gb, 2x160gb as raid0 and 1x250gb for media. the last 160gb is not in the pc [10:07] xMS_user: then I would use raid 5 and raid 1 - but thats up to you === H4ck3r1 is now known as H4ck3rx [10:07] ikonia: still, it would be eating y cpu right? [10:07] xMS_user: use cpu - yes, eat cpu - no [10:08] how do I make eth0 just be up but not attempt to get an IP ? [10:08] what command do i type in safe mode to run that video config [10:08] *nom nom nom* cpu [10:08] zombie_monkey: disable dhcp on that interface. [10:09] so... how do i enable mplayer support in firefox? [10:09] i tried mplayerplug-in, but no luck [10:09] i can't live without liveleak! [10:09] ikonia: i think i am just gonna stay away from it for now. real raid is better but more expensive. i'll wait on that upgrade for later [10:09] crabgrass: That plug in worked for me. What was the exact name of the pluging that didn't work? [10:10] i downloaded something called mplayerplug-in, compiled it, and no-go. [10:10] is there a way to get the video fix when it glitches out rank instead of booting [10:10] how do I make it so my sound card will be hw:0? [10:10] jqk: it's not dhcp, http://pastebin.com/d44747d28 [10:10] crabgrass: mozilla-mplayer === [1]Tidus is now known as Tidus [10:10] spdf: checking, one sec [10:11] that wouldnt happen to be in the core repos, would it? [10:11] crabgrass: multiverse [10:11] should my root partition be and the front or the end of my disk(i'm in gparted and am preparing a drive for a new install) [10:11] i need to default all the videosettings [10:11] wow, that's awesome [10:11] thank you apt! [10:11] zombie_monkey: That's ipv6. [10:11] technically spdf, but apt is good too. [10:12] spdf: damn, still not working [10:12] Hmm.. restart firefox? [10:12] 'surf' to about:plugins [10:12] How do I know what to type for the card when trying to use "asound set-default-card"? [10:12] sorry bout my wireless guys... it's spazzing out === Kimahri is now known as Tidus [10:12] jqk: well I'm using pppoe, and my ISP said that I should disable that for my own security [10:13] spdf: odd, "shockwave flash" is the only one listed [10:13] You know.. I've been at work for 6hrs, and I've done about 20mins of actual work :S [10:13] im to mentally retarded to fix my video [10:13] i want to create a 3 partition disk (/,/home and swap) but dunno what order to create them [10:13] o/ [10:14] crabgrass: What does sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer return? Is it already installed? Or not found? Your comment about flash confuses me. [10:14] ikonia: spdf, stdin can you help? [10:15] xMS_user: doesn't matter [10:15] ArthurArchnix: it prompted me to install it, just like any program i did not previously have installed. the flash comment was in response to spdf's about:plugins suggestion [10:15] branch more sudo fed then lyle travolta [10:15] ArthurArchnix: which, i assume, means it did not install properly [10:15] spdf: Depending on the size of partitions, I like to put my swap as close to the centre of disk as possible. I believe it offers me miliseconds of speed improvements. :P [10:16] spdf: Sorry, that comment was meant for xMS_user [10:16] I remember actually thinking about that back when I first installed on a 486, but now it just doesn't matter as far as I'm concerned [10:17] ArthurArchnix: isn't the access fastest at the begginnig? [10:17] Hello everybody, I am deploying Ubuntu gutsy 7.10 on 100+ systems and I am looking for a list of correct parameters that I can in the preseed file [10:17] ikonia: thanks. so i will partition my 250gb 15gb for "/", 1gb for swap and the rest for "/home", copy over my home dir to the partition where the new /home will be and then install ubuntu on the hd. do i have it all right? [10:18] Does anybody know of such a list? [10:18] wow, i even got the mplayerplug-in xpi from firefox's site, still not working [10:18] what in the hell? [10:18] crabgrass: is mplayer installed? [10:18] yes [10:18] xMS_user: seems reasonable [10:18] well, im back again, just finished installing on the wife's pc... however her wireless card will not connect to our wireless network.... it recognizes several networks in the area, but it will not connect to any of them, it tries but it fails to.. however my laptop with xp connects, so I know its not the networks... any thoughts? [10:18] that's the only thing, other than mpd, i use to view media [10:19] spdf: mpd for constant tunes, mplayer for everything else [10:19] zombie_monkey: Well, if you're using swap that means you're doing something pretty intensive, which means you disk head is probably actively seeking and writing, which would mean that on average, swapping stuff out of RAM onto the disk should take less time if it's all done in the centre. THat's my understanding. But like spdf says, it with disk speeds nowadays it's unlikely to make an appreciable difference. [10:19] crabgrass: Hmm, I just stuck with totem's plugin, but its not great (has problems seeking and such) [10:19] singleshun:try ndiswrapper [10:19] ok got a question [10:19] how would i go about doing an in-place upgrade from ubuntu 6.10 to 7.10 ? [10:20] what can i use to quickly and safely copy/move the contents of my home dir to another partition? ( i assume cp -r /home/* /newmount would not work ) [10:20] shaark, ndiswrapper? is there are .deb or something i can download and then use my flashdrive to transfer to her PC? [10:20] xMS_user: cp -Rxp [10:20] Tidus, I think update-manager should handle those upgrades [10:21] singleshun: ur wired ethernet should work === neuro|irssi is now known as neuro_ [10:21] 6.10 -> 7.04 -> 7.10 [10:21] shaark, no wired ethernet ;) [10:21] spdf: well... shit. this is strange [10:21] crabgrass: please moderate your language [10:21] gregorovius, update-manager shows 7.04 as latest [10:21] shaark, im checking for a deb right now ;) [10:21] for some odd reason [10:21] what was the last ubunbtu that sported kernel 2.4.x support? [10:21] Tidus, yeah, you gotta upgrade to 7.04 first [10:21] tapas: 6.06 has a 2.4 kernel available [10:21] ikonia: can i add -v to see it in action too? [10:22] ikonia: please attempt to understand my frustration. [10:22] tapas: but it's buit on 2.6 [10:22] you can't skip a version [10:22] ikonia: ok, fair enough [10:22] crabgrass: no - Moderate your language [10:22] xMS_user: don't see why not [10:22] sigh. [10:22] ikonia: do you havppen to know th elibc version it uses, too? [10:22] gregorovius, ok, but it keeps saying that the update authentication failed [10:22] tapas: glibc you mean ? [10:22] ikonia: yep [10:22] well, in the time it took me to realize that something is very wrong with my system, i managed to wget the whole movie. [10:22] tapas: it will be a 2.4 version due to linux-thread support rahter than pure nptl [10:22] that's a different issue, and I gotta go, gl :) [10:23] anyone know if there is a deb for this ... ndiswrapper? [10:23] ikonia: ok.. sounds good [10:23] tapas: exactly what 2.4.X version - don't know [10:23] ikonia: not quite so importnat, we'll roll our own anyways [10:23] ok. anybody else know about this? [10:23] so, thanks anyways spdf and everyone else who replied (#ubuntu was actually kinda helpful... that's a first!), but i found a... solution? [10:23] ikonia: [kernel, not libc] [10:23] is swap necessary? i have 1gb ram and will upgrade next week to 2 or 3gb. but i would not want my system using the hd for memory [10:23] tapas: thats fine. [10:23] xMS_user: swap is advisable. [10:24] xMS_user: your system will only use disk when it runs out of ram OR is more effciant [10:24] ikonia: pretty name is edgy right? [10:24] tapas: dapper [10:24] xMS_user: It may rarely use it, but you should still keep it [10:24] tapas: edgy is 6.10 [10:24] hmm, dapper has glibc 2.3 [10:24] hrmpf.. [10:24] tapas: ooh really [10:24] can i get way with a 128mb for swap [10:24] tapas: there you go then [10:24] edgy has glibc 2.4 it seems [10:24] xMS_user: why bother [10:24] tapas: that may still be linux-thread compatiable [10:24] give it 1GB of swap and then when you upgrade decrease the swappiness. Links on the forums. I forget how it's done. But essentially you tell your system not to swap out very much. [10:24] so i wonder. does the edgy glibc have linuxthreads support still, toop? [10:25] ikonia: ok, i'll tryu [10:25] tapas: 2.4 should still have it [10:25] ArthurArchnix: i did not know i could do that. [10:25] ikonia: linuxthreads support was always an add on to libc as i understand it.. === JSharp_ is now known as JSharp [10:25] xMS_user: you can't - you'd need to resize the partition [10:25] ikonia: so they might have built it without it.. will try and see [10:25] tapas: correct, but that add on was remove 2.5 [10:25] tapas: I suspect it's there for legacy support [10:25] ok, then in that case 1gb swap it is [10:26] is 15gb good for root and boot [10:26] ikonia: ok, now i only need to find an edgy image on ubuntu.com ;) [10:26] xMS_user: depens on your needs [10:26] tapas: pleanty around [10:26] ikonia: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download only offers me 6.06 or 7.10 ;) [10:26] xMS_user: here's link for more info http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1255511&postcount=43 [10:26] ok, i suppose i'll dig in the pointed to locations [10:26] re [10:26] êó [10:27] tapas: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/edgy/ [10:27] ok [10:27] thanks [10:27] hi can anyone tell me how to run tightvncserver on port 5900 instead of 5901? [10:27] ikonia: well i alrady have my sites and my databases running off the /home dir. any data will be put there so i can backup the whole dir [10:27] brk3: sure.. don't run X on port 5900 [10:27] ;) [10:28] brk3: then it's free for vncserver to take [10:28] hi ppl can anyone help a noob with a bash script? [10:28] tapas: umm, well then how do I change X's port? [10:28] cyberfin: bash support is in #bash [10:28] thnx [10:28] brk3: well, for example startx -- :2 [10:28] then it runs on 5902 [10:28] xMS_user: Now that I read the link I think I' going to turn it off. The demon helped solve my laptop hardrive death issues, so I think I'll give his swappiness hack a try. [10:28] brk3: erm maybe i talk nonsense [10:28] one moment [10:29] brk3: yeah i do talk nonsense [10:29] :) [10:29] brk3: I think what tapas is getting at is, port 5900 is already in use...pick another port ;) [10:29] tapas: no you may be right but I would think there should be an easier way? you see I already can run vino on 5900 so I have that port forwarded. but I want to run tightvnc instead of vino [10:30] brk3: try the :0 option for Xvnc [10:30] i was wrong X's port for display :0 is 6000 [10:31] so you should be able to simply tell tightvncserver to pass the :0 option on to Xvnc [10:31] yeah i noticed that ;) 5900 is the default for vlc [10:31] which would cause it to use 5900 [10:31] er vnc [10:31] thanks il try it [10:31] i have a small problem [10:32] fschmidt@caesar:/~$ tightvncserver :5 [10:32] New 'X' desktop is caesar:5 [10:32] denny are you from tvt?

[10:51] clean url in ruby on rails [10:53] I can't see inetd or xinetd on my process list, what is the default super-server on ubuntu? [10:54] I have about 120 applications installed in Windows and I am transferring to Ubuntu.

[10:56] Good morning/evening everyone. [10:56] Meronik, there's a good chance that only a few of your applications will work well [10:56] ok, I know wine. do you think it will run all the application until I find linux alternatives? [10:57] I can't see inetd or xinetd on my process list, what is the default super-server on ubuntu? [10:57] "only a few"???? [10:57] I wondered if someone could invest a few minutes helping me solve a problem which seems to be not too big, but does not let me access ubuntu. [10:57] Meronik, how many only you will have to find out by trying them on wine [10:57] I have posted it in the forum, but no-one replied, and in the meanwhile I'm using windows on a different computer... :-( [10:58] ok, thank you [10:58] the alternative solution Meronik is to install VirtualBox and create a Windows machine to install the software you need to use on that virtual machine [10:58] Hi all, i just got visualboyadvance-gtk from APT (its a GBA Emulato) .. how can i run it? if i type visualboyadvanced in die bash nothing happens ..

[11:00] tapas, the kernel -- it's in the 2.6 series now [11:01] unop__: i know [11:01] unop__: we have a legacy kernel module here [11:01] peleg: when you do ls -al ~/.dmrc what do you get?

Is this a bug or a only my problem? Please help me to solve this problem. When other have this Problem too I make a Bugreport in launchpad. Sorry for my english. [11:02] tapas, well, for the sakes of keeping that module you are kind of depriving yourself from a whole bunch of software that requires functionality from the 2.6 kernel [11:03] When I open 10-15 tabs on firefox, it is beginning to be unstable and not responding.

I cannot login to my ubuntu because of $HOME/.dmrc problem.

[11:20] drowner: if he has a good internet connection, he could use ubuntu and search for an antivirus from the menu Applications > add/remove - you don't have to be comp literate to update and search :) [11:20] this is true [11:20] but its a slow download, really [11:20] for what he needs [11:21] drowner: otherwise you have www.linuxmint.com or.. www.thinkgos.com ? [11:21] maybe [11:21] i'm wondering if RIP has it [11:21] How to find out the floppy device filename? In my case its noe /dev/fd0 [11:21] Recovery is POssible [11:21] schmakk: otherwise, a better way to ask are the www.ubuntuforums.org or at launchpad http://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu [11:21] In my case its not /dev/fd0 [11:22] savvas: i suppose so. thanks anywya :) [11:22] schmakk: are you using the restricted or the open source drivers? [11:23] savvas: i used the gui to get the restricted ones. ubuntu even knew my dell p1110 monitor. when i set both of those up, x hurls [11:24] if i just get restricted drivers, x works, but then i cant run 1600x1200 [11:24] need some tool for worldtime, which will always be in top [11:24] Hi all, i just got visualboyadvance-gtk from APT (its a GBA Emulato) .. how can i run it? if i type visualboyadvanced in die bash nothing happens .. [11:24] schmakk ati drivers? [11:24] L3ttuc3: yes. [11:24] i read they could be flaky, but that doesnt help me much :) [11:25] schmakk there was one with the widescreen bug that reset maximum resolution to 1280x1024. they release one a week or two ago that fixed this, however i'd not heard of your problem. [11:25] schmakk: hum, i'm using nvidia, it's totally out of my league, sorry :) doesn't dell support their stuff? [11:25] misterwayne: try gvba [11:25] thx dude! [11:26] np:) [11:26] L3ttuc3: 1280x1024 isnt my max res, 1600x1200 is just missing. it goes all the way up to 19xx 17xx something something [11:26] savvas: dell does, but not when its as old as this thing :) [11:26] need some tool for world time, which will always be in top [11:26] schmakk im still waiting for them to fix their opengl implementation; trying to use 'opengl' with vlc does not work, everything else gives me jerky video when hardware 3d acceleration is on. [11:26] <_Lucretia_> is the scanner module prebuilt into the ubuntu kernel? [11:26] schmakk are the entries in xorg.conf? [11:27] I need to see the time of UTC, PST and EST [11:27] savvas ati drivers are a pain. [11:27] to analyse it [11:27] L3ttuc3: i tried checking, but i never bothered till it was too late. entried are there, but at the time i checked, ubuntu booted in a resolution my monitor could take at all. entries went up to 2kx2k stuff [11:27] L3ttuc3: I know, that's why I bought nvidia :P [11:27] hi === pawan_ is now known as pawan12 [11:27] savvas bit screwed when you already have a laptop though :/. [11:27] hi [11:28] at that point, even console was fubar. could only see the top left fourth of the screen when switching to another terminal [11:28] hi guys! i'd like know what install theme in gutzy gibbon.... === zMooTh is now known as zMooTh-gone === zMooTh-gone is now known as zMooTh [11:28] sorry for my english [11:29] schmakk try manually editing them in a console? sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [11:29] schmakk that does sound a bit messed up. had a similar problem upgrading nvidia drivers about 8 years ago. that was one of the major reasons i went off linux that long. [11:29] L3ttuc3: tried, but i can only see the top left half of the screen. like console is written with a way too big font or something. and no, i dont know how to correct that with commands [11:30] my network is crashing randomly.. all of the sudden i cant even ping my router and it returns 'no route to host [11:30] schmakk you could try booting off the liveCD and editing from there. [11:30] L3ttuc3: i did, but eventually i just gave up and nuked the partition with ubuntu. igot frustrated that even gui stuff didnt work :) [11:30] schmakk try downgrading to a previous ati driver? [11:30] schmakk problem solved then? [11:31] L3ttuc3: solved in the sense that i have no ubuntu, but windows. some of the eyecandy i saw with a fresh gutsy install was really nice [11:31] schmakk eyecandy is one of the major reasons i zapped vista and xp. [11:32] and im hoping this install of gutsy is going to be stable. last one was on a usb hard disk, and that died after interface IO errors (apparently). [11:32] <_Lucretia_> is the scanner module prebuilt into the ubuntu kernel? [11:32] <_Lucretia_> is the scanner module prebuilt into the ubuntu kernel? [11:32] L3ttuc3: come on, its the only pr0n nerds get! besides, it can be useful, like how it looks when you switch desktop and stuff === joerlend_ is now known as XiXaQ [11:33] i love it. got some stuff i can tinker with. sorry. bit off topic. [11:34] oh well, thanks for the help savvas and L3ttuc3. im off to give it another go. if part of denmark blows up, you now know why [11:34] lol. [11:34] good luck. [11:34] hehehe [11:36] need little help :} [11:36] Hi all. Remember me asking all those questions about Linux distro's and stuff? Well, i got helped out pretty well and i found out i was actually looking for a bullet-proof OS. Because i tend to break computers. lots. So we came to this solution: Use a core OS, place virtual machine software on that and do my daily tasks IN that virtual machine. But what would be a good core OS? [11:36] So: Core OS -> Two virtual machines (Windows, Linux) -> Daily tasks [11:36] Please don't ask the reason. I'm sure of it. [11:37] hi guys [11:37] Arelis, sorry to ask, but why do you tend to break computers? [11:37] or how... [11:38] Tidus: Well... many times it's different. Installing stuff, removing stuff, customizing things.. [11:38] Ho wcome my ubuntu 7.10 changes /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sda1 randomly? Besides the other drive isn't even sata but ide, it should be hd*, right? [11:38] *how come [11:38] * bod_ thinks Arelis needs to learn to read the instruction manual ;) [11:38] Tidus: The thing is, i spend more time fixing my computer, than using it. [11:38] bod_: see above [11:38] i use a mac for my daily tasks... [11:39] Arelis, why is your computer always broken? [11:39] how to control the fan speed in laptop? [11:39] i keep a linux machine to play around with, and windows for games [11:39] how do i create a backtrace ? [11:39] bod_: Well it's different every time. [11:39] Tidus, i ditched win completely now yay!!! [11:39] !yay bod_ [11:39] Arelis: a good core os would be one that first and foremost supports the virtual machines and has a good support for a graphical interface for you to play with your virtual machines. you got a good dozen of them: debian, centos, fedora, ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu... whatever suits your stylish needs [11:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about yay bod_ - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:39] bod_, congratulations [11:39] !yay | bod_ [11:39] bod_: Glad you made it! :-) [11:40] Arelis, lol cool [11:40] where's the office channel/ [11:40] ? [11:40] tht was to white_eagle [11:40] :) [11:40] idefix_: #openoffice.org ? [11:41] savvas: well i'm on OpenSuSe now (which i was using as my main system) but virtualization on it is crap. I've had Ubuntu being unstable issues. I always used Gutsy. Is Feisty better? [11:41] Arelis, sorry that wasnt for u,.,.,. erm,. so is it your fault they break? because you were messing with something you shouldnt have messed with? or some factor you couldnt control? [11:41] Gutsy for the win!!! [11:41] Arelis: feisty (7.04) is even more unstable compared to gutsy (7.10) [11:41] bod_: I often mess with things i should not mess with. And sometimes it happens out of itself. [11:42] how i can change the resolution to 1280x1024 ? the max is 1024x768 [11:42] And sometimes i just do normal things (like installing virtualbox from a .dpkg) which break things like apt-get, making it segfault all the time. [11:42] is there a way to bind tightvncserver to display :0? [11:42] savvas: And Dapper? [11:42] Arelis, i have used linux for 1 month (thats right 1,. and i was a windows user) (now im in here helping people with the simple stuff) but my point is,. gutsy 7.10 is almost brilliant if you use this channel [11:43] i've been using linux since Mandrake 9.0 [11:43] Arelis: well they say it's the long term support, it has to be stable. I can't remember though, after 2 years of upgrades :) gutsy seems to like me. btw, are you using virtualbox or vmware? http://www.virtualbox.org [11:43] so roughly 6 years [11:43] Tidus, golden oldie ,.,.;~) [11:44] savvas: Which is better? [11:44] can one help me ? .__. [11:44] Arelis: definitely gutsy [11:44] DarkHelfer03, im not sure if you can have a bigger res then your screen allows [11:44] savvas: no i mean virtualbox or vmware? [11:45] Arelis: ah, vbox is a lot quicker when it comes to running applications, and I'm afraid that the binary package is the way to go (not the opensource) since they have some goodies installed along with the binary version, like the virtualbox addons [11:46] my screen allow 1280x1024 [11:46] hey guys, anyone here installed ubuntu on an external hdd? [11:46] DarkHelfer03, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [11:46] savvas: Alright. I have a Gutsy CD in front of me. Think the unstableness has been me screwing the system up all the time? [11:46] Arelis, possibly [11:46] i'm the same way you are [11:47] Tidus, whats this -phigh bit ,. i thought it was sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver xorg [11:47] Arelis: what are your system specifications? processor, ram memory, graphics card to begin with [11:47] but i figured out that if i want a system to stay running, i can't tinker with it too awful much [11:47] Tidus: I'll enter the liveCD now and we'll talk further. :) [11:47] savvas: CPU: AMD Athlon 2800+, Videocard:ATI Radeon 9600, RAM: 768MB [11:47] -phigh makes it ask all questions [11:47] Arelis: the ati card might be a problem [11:48] the 9600 is supported by xorg proper [11:48] savvas: why? [11:48] in both 2d and 3d mode [11:48] Tidus: alright [11:48] Tidus, ok cool ty,.,. oh and do you no how i would take a tar backup of my machine, excluding the other hard drives and piping the tar file to an external drive when its finished? [11:48] Arelis: well a lot of people complain about it, but give the livecd a go, if you have internet connection, I think the rest can be fixed :) [11:48] *external = internal but other [11:48] bod_, i'm not a shell wizard ... otherwise i'd help ya [11:49] bod_: have you looked at rsync? [11:49] what driver ? tdfx, tga, trident, tseng or vesa ? i have a Geforce 2 [11:49] savvas: alright. I've been using Ubuntu for about a year though. And Debian before that, and Gentoo before that.

[12:43] ibm my love [12:43] donald_: i get FATAL: Module core_temp not found. [12:44] IBM is sold to Lenevo [12:44] but now it is a part of lennove [12:44] rinaldi: Ubuntu on hard disk or liveCD? [12:44] Lenevo [12:44] is it the same quality [12:45] donald_: hard disk [12:45] only computer [12:45] !offtopic [12:45] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [12:45] rinaldi: very odd. ubuntu version? [12:45] not the same quality [12:45] how do i change text resolution on plain text mode ??? [12:45] donald_: 7.10 [12:46] ok guys, now i have a ubuntu question [12:46] what's the name of the new remote desktop manager for hardy? [12:46] i have successed to use wireless on ubuntu after 1 year [12:46] donald: well its alright if this mobo likes the text base installer...and i did some install options like noapic nolapic and etc..still stuck to the xserver issue..but anyway gonna try the pci card [12:46] wwwhotsexot kom [12:47] but its signal is too weak in compare to XP [12:47] lerio: sorry i ran out of options [12:47] http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5iU4Lq7tOR_WVOJLZ3IeRaIH03x6w w00t [12:48] french gendarmerie goes ubuntu =D [12:48] rinaldi: u may need to try out for hardware sensors [12:48] PeP`: interesting but offtopic [12:48] hello [12:49] how can I view hidden files? [12:49] ls -alh [12:49] donald: its alright actually that pci card never comes to my mind before you told me to try...thanks thas a big help for me...and thanks for your time [12:49] what is the recommended way to prevent a service (say postgresql) from starting up automatically, without actually uninstalling it? (update-rc.d insists on deleting the /etc/init.d file) [12:49] Pici : so is there no other way out like we do in windows....to upgrate or reinstall on the installed partition ? [12:49] bazhang: terribly sorry, I thought it might be interesting to tell people in #ubuntu what was just decided three hours ago... :) [12:49] rinaldi: u need to install lm-sensors and run sensors-detect to locate hardware sensor type [12:50] I have Atheros wireless, but it is weak in compare to XP, is there anyway to improve it? [12:50] Ogedei, when a file is in init.d it does not mean it is started, it is a startup script, to actually start it , it should be in the runleven directories (etc/rc0-6.d) [12:50] PeP`: better in #ubuntu-offtopic ;] [12:50] ogedei : install BUM [12:50] dhavalp: If you put your /home on a separate partition you can tell it not to format that. [12:50] Ogedei: update-rc.d doesn't delete the script in /etc/init.d -- only the references to it in the startup directories. [12:51] aiwa: just because XP says u got a good signal doesn't mean it's at 100% [12:51] orgthingy: in Nautilus press CTRL+H; from the terminal do as roelb said: ls -alh [12:51] th [12:51] x [12:51] donald, i can also experience that [12:51] ty [12:52] soundray: I was afraid to give it the -f switch, but apparently that was what I wanted. thanks! [12:52] Morning [12:52] xp or vista [12:52] In OpenOffice SpreadSheet, how do I make e new line inside a text cell? [12:52] you choose [12:52] Jockeo: Ctrl-Enter [12:53] hi to all ..how to use biometrika fx2000 scanner on ubuntu what software is require i compiled driver for that it is working..but i dont know how to test it [12:53] soundray: Tried that, doesn't work... [12:54] Jockeo: then you have a strange keyboard. It works here [12:54] is there a system-wide configuration option for enabling colors in the console? (preferably including the boot messages) [12:54] soundray: ok thx, then I'll try it in another spreadsheet. [12:55] abcd: did you try 'Applications->Graphics->Xsane'? [12:56] soundray: Thanks now it works. I hadn't formatted the cell as "text" (just typed text into it) [12:56] abcd: fingerprint scanner? [12:56] hmm ok thanks a lot PICI :) [12:57] Jockeo: hmm, so it has to be text... good to know. === dhavalp is now known as RoR [12:58] soundray: Well it seems to work with some other formattings too (others than text). Maybe I'd formatted that specific cell in a strange way. [12:59] But after all, now it works :) [12:59] do you like china? [12:59] !offtopic | huwei [12:59] huwei: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [13:00] huwei: u in the wrong place. and yes, good china is always welcome. dinner and tea sets.. especially bone china [13:00] Which CD can i best use to install Ubuntu in a virtual machine? [13:01] Also, i'm using virtualbox. It's very slow. can i speed it up? [13:01] Arelis: alternate CD is always best for me [13:01] depends largely on your computer arelis [13:01] Arelis: more RAM helps [13:01] donald:yes [13:01] RomeReactor, [13:01] sorry [13:01] donald_: for some reason the livecd refuses to start. I get to the menu screen, press enter.. then it crashes [13:01] donald:it is fingerprint scanner by biometrka [13:02] biometrika [13:02] Arelis: get the live CD [13:02] still nothing .. any other ideas ? [13:02] hi [13:02] abcd: names differ but chipset? [13:02] donald_: for some reason the livecd refuses to start. I get to the menu screen, press enter.. then it crashes [13:02] Arelis: sorry. i meant alternate Cd [13:02] Arelis: how much ram did you give it? [13:02] zLoSteR: other than uninstalling the screensaver, no; sorry. [13:02] bazhang: 256MB [13:03] Arelis: how much RAM do u have total [13:03] donald_: 768MB ram [13:03] well i'am using xgl [13:03] Is it possible to make a kind of gateway with only one interface? [13:03] give it more.. try 384 [13:03] arelis 512 would be better [13:03] donald:fx2000 how to find out any command? [13:03] can the problem be from there somewhere ? [13:03] abcd: usb ?? try lsusb with scanner plugged in [13:04] abcd: have you tried this?: http://pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org/54043/ [13:04] zLoSteR: I've fixed this on my computer... let me see if I can think of what I changed. [13:04] 512 is enough . i think [13:04] you mean for turning off monitor ? [13:04] Pici, [13:04] ? [13:04] zLoSteR: Yes. [13:05] donald:lsusb shows Bus 004 Device 005: ID 0c43:0200 [13:05] bazhang: Now it says "Failed to start the virtual machine Linux." [13:05] i will very thankful [13:05] ARELIS: around 386MB is just enough to run it. [13:06] zLoSteR: I think I just turned off the screensaver entirely, I'm not at the same computer to check though. Theres a checkbox in the screensaver preferences if I remember correctly to toggle turning on the screensaver when the computer is idle. [13:06] Arelis: hmm; with that little ram I dont know how successful you will be using ubuntu in a vm [13:06] abcd: probably not supported in Linux yet [13:06] well yes and i uncheck it [13:06] Arelis: r u using Virtual PC, these is problems using that [13:07] so the screensaver is off [13:07] Arelis: i have run Ubuntu Hardy on as little as 256MB on VBoc [13:07] bazhang: I got told i could run VMs just fine with AMD Athlon 2800+, ATI Radeon 9600, and 768MB ram [13:07] jbitkill: Virtualbox [13:07] i mean VirtualBox [13:07] but still its going black when is idle [13:07] :\ [13:07] Arelis: with any distro? [13:08] RomeReactor:yes from that link i have downloaded but it is saying that scan failed [13:08] don't know a lot about virtualbox [13:08] Arelis: you can run vm's with that kit, but their resources will be very limited [13:08] zLoSteR: I cant check here unfortunately... sorry :( [13:08] i have run SLED, Debian, Freespire, FreeBSD, Fedora on VBox. [13:08] thanks anyway ;] [13:08] bazhang: what did you say? my PC crashed [13:09] only thing wont install is Solaris [13:09] vmware user here; vbox just does not like my computer [13:09] how do i get vmware? [13:09] from the repos [13:09] !vmware [13:09] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [13:09] zLoSteR: try disabling ACPI in your BIOS or in /boot/grub/menu.lst [13:09] !virtualization [13:09] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [13:09] zLoster: you may need to disable DPMS in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:10] Arelis: vmware is going to be an additional overhead on your virtualisation, just keep that in mind for your performance requirments [13:10] arelis vmware-server is in the repos--it is what I use [13:10] i have tried VBox and Qemu. VBox is better [13:11] ikonia: I require it to be as fast as a real PC, because i will use Ubuntu as my core OS, and run two os's on top of that, and do my daily work in those 2 virtual PC's. [13:11] Arelis: that is not going to happen to be honest [13:11] Arelis: you sure that AMD can take all that and with only 768MB of RAM? [13:11] donald_: they told me that in #windows [13:11] Arelis: your host system is on the minimum or ram - and your two virtualied machines will be on the minium of ram - all will be slow [13:12] gandalf.geeknode.org [13:12] well [13:12] ikonia: well as long as they work.. [13:12] which they right now don't [13:12] Arelis: thats not what you said - you said you want them to perform as good as a normal PC which they won't, they will be very slow [13:12] i am usign glx [13:13] zLoster: u may need to disable DPMS and also power saving for VGA in BIOS [13:13] Arelis: you are trying to boot ubuntu in a vm on top of windows? [13:13] bazhang: I am trying to boot two OS's on top of Ubuntu [13:13] if monitor goes blank, it's not the screensaver [13:13] donald_, is glx had something to do whit this [13:13] ubuntu on top of ubuntu? [13:13] Arelis: you are lacking ram and your cpu is quite slow. They will boot - but perform very slow [13:13] some settings ? don't know exactly :D [13:13] Zloster: GLX works or doesn't work. nothing to do with screen blanking, unless u dont get a desktop [13:14] Arelis: maybe u are thinking Xen? [13:14] donald_: tell me more, please. [13:14] Arelis: get more RAM first [13:14] indeed [13:14] don't have the money for that. [13:14] 768MB isn't a lot to play with VM [13:15] Arelis: im getting trouble with 1 virtualbox on 1gb, never mind 768mb [13:15] Arelis: why do you want to boot ubuntu in a vm on top of ubuntu? [13:15] jbitkill: I remember it worked with xubuntu on my pc. what you're saying is nonsense. [13:15] Arelis: if u can live with slowness, google Xen Ubuntu. there's a fairly good guide out there [13:15] bazhang: Because when i do that, and do my daily work in the virtualized one, i can't screw up my core OS [13:15] bazhang: a test/dev/play system ? [13:16] bazhang: and i tend to screw up my OS lots [13:16] ikonia: perhaps ;] [13:16] xubuntu uses around 128mb, kubuntu is around 256mb and gnome (ubuntu) is around 512mb [13:16] jbitkill: yes but the CD won't boot. [13:16] Hi!im new beginner & using ubuntu 7.10 when i use my flash disk then i couldnt eject it (no option to eject it) could someone tell me how t? thnx [13:16] Arelis: you'll need more ram and if possible a new cpu to maintain a reasonable level of performance for multiple vm's [13:16] Arelis: i think settings problem if CD wont boot [13:16] it won't even BOOT. and with that i don't mean not having enough memory, i mean it's crashing the moment i press enter at the menu screen where there is "Boot ubuntu" [13:16] Arelis: make a seperate home partition; then if things go awry you can just reinstall without losing valuable data [13:17] bazhang: I've tried that one. [13:17] what should be contnet for Gem pc usb scanner in reader.conf... [13:17] beginner: right-click on its desktop icon and select "Unmount". [13:17] Arelis: what you are proposing is just not really feasible--three OS's on such a tiny amount of ram means serious lag [13:17] bazhang: I won't run them ALL at the same time [13:17] Arelis: try the alternate CD and see if that fails as well [13:18] abcd: firstly, u need to load a module which see the reader [13:18] am using gparted to resize my ntfs drive, but there a lock beside the drive, any thoughts ? [13:18] Arelis: as donald say the alternate, or even the minimal install [13:18] says even [13:19] romeReactor: i did that but its still detected but with another name (disk before unmounted it,,Generic STORAGE DEVICE after doing unmount ) [13:19] bazhang: i don't think the alternate cd is gonna work. IF the liveCD would not work, it would at least display the console. [13:19] but virtualbox crashes at that point. And my PC thereafter [13:19] donald_:gem pc is getting detected by using pcscd and libccid but i dont know how to configure it to use it? [13:19] Arelis: liveCD has no console [13:19] hi guys, my ubuntu is currently unbootable... so i boot in using liveCD and wud like to import firefox bookmarks... where can i find bookmarks..under which directory [13:19] donald_: yes it does. [13:20] Arelis: i think your problem is the AMD overheating [13:20] Arelis: best to just use your ubuntu install and keep plenty of backups/have a seperate home partition--the best way to learn about linux is to learn from mistakes [13:20] donald: Applications ->accessories- >terminal [13:20] Hi everyone, i've just bought an 8800GT and installed the latest drivers from nvidia, yet i'm having ~2000 fps with glxgears, can someone assist me on this? :) [13:20] abcd: cant help more [13:20] and then learn how to fix them ;] [13:21] bazhang: I've had a really extended conversation yesterday in #windows - we came to this solution, and said it would work just fine with these specs. I spend more time fixing the computer than using it. And i don't like that. [13:21] ubuntuMac: liveCD has not booted yet [13:21] and when i click on it it shows all stored files [13:21] donald_:what should be the port number and channel number i have to write [13:21] beginner: does it unmount? if so, have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in? [13:21] Arelis: what exactly is the problem ? [13:21] Error323: i dont even get 500fps... :P [13:21] lol [13:21] ikonia: The liveCD won't boot in the virtual machine. [13:21] Anyone knoes where is firefox bookmarks stored... in which directory [13:22] well it should be around 20.000 fps [13:22] Arelis: ok - how are you trying to boot it, what happens, does it give you an error ? [13:22] Arelis: yet the consensus here in #ubuntu says the opposite; who you going to trust? ;] [13:22] ikonia: doesn't give me an error. It just crashes. [13:22] Arelis: what virtualisation engine are you using [13:22] Arelis: i seriously think yr CPU is overheting when trying to virtualise [13:22] this is odd ... i successfully copied my .mp3 files to my friend's ipod using soundconverter and then rhythmbox ... then i had to delete them b/c tehy were not named properly ... i removed them by selecting them in the song list in rhythmbox and hitting "delete" ... and then i tried to put the renamed files back on to the ipod, as well as other .mp3 files i made ... but now rhythmbox isn't writing any of the songs i'm trying to put on [13:22] the ipod. do i have to reboot, or run some commands again each time i disconnect / reconnect my ipod to my ubuntu 7.10 gutsy gibbon box ? :) [13:22] Arelis: define "crashes" [13:22] ikonia: VirtualBox [13:22] Error323: If I remember, that card isn't supported yet? (someone confirm or deny?) [13:22] ikonia: VirtualBox stops working entirely. [13:22] what do you mean stops working ? [13:22] expand on it [13:22] I need more than "doesn't work" === Dukan is now known as Dukan_Info [13:23] compwiz18, deny it's currently supported [13:23] ubuntuMac: ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/bookmarks.html [13:23] according to their website [13:23] ikonia: Well, the program doesn't do anything. I can't interact with it. Shortly thereafter, my PC itself crashed. [13:23] and i've sseen people getting 20K fps on several forums [13:23] Arelis: so the actual software hangs, then the PC's OS crashes ? [13:24] Error323: what driver did you install? [13:24] Arelis: you are using windows then; otherwise why ask the folks in ##windows whether this would work or not [13:24] ubuntuMac. in /home/login/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxx/bookmarks.html [13:24] i have now 1280x1024 but it show me 1280x800 and i can scroll down the screen Oo [13:24] Error323: the latest one, or the restricted manager one? [13:24] NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run [13:24] but how can I be suer it's properly loaded compwiz18 [13:24] bazhang: I am using Ubuntu. I'm on Ubuntu. the folks in #windows who were helping me are gone. [13:24] Error323: glxinfo [13:24] ikonia: yes. [13:25] donald,RomeReactor: i cant cd .mozilla [13:25] Arelis: and your host system is what version of ubuntu ? [13:25] ikonia: 7.10 gutsy gibbon [13:25] i just freshly installed it. [13:25] nothing installed/configured yet EXCEPT virtualbox [13:25] when i save the Nvidia driver under my desktop, how can i install it ? [13:25] OpenGL version string: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 169.09 [13:25] Arelis: I suggest you get a livecd and use the "memcheck" option for a good few hours and stress your machine hard to make sure there are no ram errors [13:25] should be correct then [13:25] Arelis: that behaviour is common with a ram/cpu error [13:25] Arelis: then they have a limited understanding of #ubuntu [13:25] ubuntuMac: did you navigate to another folder before? [13:25] ikonia: Already did that a night in a week back or so. No errors. [13:26] ubuntuMac: try it like this: [13:26] zero errors ? [13:26] ikonia: Zero errors. [13:26] cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/bookmarks.html [13:26] Arelis: [13:26] Arelis: check the syslog for any warnings [13:26] Error323: i'm out of ideas. maybe they had a different setup then you or something... [13:26] hi! does anyone owns a htc advantage? I want to know the size of the screen (I know it's a 5", but I want to know the size width+height) [13:26] mEck0: check their website [13:26] mEck0: contact the supplier [13:26] mEck0: not the right place for that [13:26] RomeReactor: when i did "unmount" does that mean i eject it? [13:26] i am pretty sure u have hardware problems or cooling problems. a Vbox crash should not take down Ubuntu with it [13:26] mmm i guess... you dont' have that card by any chance compwiz18 ? [13:27] ubuntuMac: oops; that's: cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default [13:27] donald_: I agree, something is not adding up [13:27] ikonia: Buffer I/O error on device hdc [13:27] Error323: I have an ATI card that gets 900fps, so be happy with your 2000 :P [13:27] (and i'm using the actual CD-rom for installation) [13:27] Arelis: thats a cdrom and shouldn't be a conrern [13:27] yes it is. [13:27] i'm using the cd-rom, not the iso, in virtualbox [13:27] compwiz18, my geforce 6800 got more =) [13:27] Arelis: that shouldn't cause the machine to crash [13:27] 7700 to be precies [13:27] RomeReactor: yeah seems like haf to put the " ~ " symbol [13:27] *precise [13:27] Error323: well, I hope you get it working.... I can't help you anymore, sorry :( [13:28] beginner: when you unmount it the icon should disappear from the desktop and you can safely unplug it [13:28] thnx compwiz18 hope so too [13:28] Arelis: u are wasting time trying to fix Vbox. we know it works. and with 768MB u can boot and run another machine though maybe not 2 or 3 VMs [13:29] donald_: Alright. So maybe i should try downloading the iso and using that? [13:29] the bug i have with the r8169 module for my netcard is fixed by upgrading to a hardy kernel.. can i just download that kernel and install it, or will it require something more? [13:29] Arelis: i doubt u will get very far [13:29] hei guys, how do i open firefox from the terminal [13:29] donald_: cpu ramp up and over heat ? [13:29] ikonia: likely [13:29] RomeReactor : the problem that it hasnt disppeared ,,,, led still turned on and the icon change dit name to "Generic STORAGE DEVICE" [13:30] Arelis: try to install cpuburn and stress your AMD [13:30] donald_: I found out the problem. the cd-rom was in the wrong cd-rom drive :D [13:30] ubuntuMac: firefox [13:30] Arelis: download a tool called "Stress Test" it's an iso linux distro that will hit your ram/cpu/disk io to test it for issues [13:30] Arelis: that won't cause your OS to die [13:30] ikonia: I found out the problem. the cd-rom was in the wrong cd-rom drive :D [13:30] slm [13:30] Arelis: that will not cause your virtualsation AND os to crash [13:30] RomeReactor : thanks dude.. [13:30] Arelis: wrong drive not likely the cause of your problems [13:31] beginner: if you were copying files to it, it probably hasn't finished; give it a few minutes. [13:31] donald_: I think the machine crashing was another issue. [13:31] I let the virtualbox thing run for too long. [13:31] when it already hung === edson is now known as puzzle [13:31] wslm hayatist [13:31] slmm [13:31] Arelis: now your just making stuff up [13:31] It hung first, then after about 5 minutes the PC itself crashed. [13:31] uhm. i need help [13:31] hello i am using acer 4520 [13:31] sam__: what';s up [13:31] Arelis: not likely [13:31] hayatiste: hello; have a support question? [13:31] and i just install gutsy [13:31] egoleo: i am so sad for you [13:32] donald_: Well it's running the virtual machine now, and it's not crashing, nor is my pc. [13:32] RomeReactor ,, i didnt do anything just plugging it the trying to ejecting them again to see if thats working or no [13:32] but after installing it hangs in the splash screen [13:32] anyone know a good console based app to rip dvd's ? [13:32] any hel from any one plse [13:32] Arelis: maybe the gurus in #vbox can help out [13:32] Arelis: good luck. u will need it [13:32] try mencoder [13:32] donald_: thank you :) [13:32] for console dvd rip [13:33] Deluge has been working fine for like...6 months. And last night I got this error when it starts it says boost::filesystem::exists and i click ok like 20 times and then it says theres not enough free space when i have like 160 gb free [13:33] eject* it [13:33] ive already tried deleting the deluge folder [13:33] bazhang, donald_, ikonia: I think it was an issue with the wrong CD-drive. Because i put it in the other one, and it worked. That was also the case when i was NOT using Virtual machines, but instead my real PC. I don't know what causes it, but when it reads through that CD-drive it makes it go faulty. [13:33] Arelis: it was NOT an issue with the wrong cdrom [13:33] any input on upgrading to a hardy kernel?? [13:33] oh any help with my ubuntu installation on acer 4520? [13:34] ikonia: it's working right now!

[14:10] freenode is an irc server [14:10] (well network) [14:10] oklopol, just a thought,. its prob not,.,. the only thing i can think of is that you've been ip banned from the site,.,.;) [14:10] well i haven't [14:10] lol [14:10] i've checked it myself. [14:10] ok [14:10] laughzilla: did you empty the trash? [14:10] alsoi'm an admin, it's just i don't own the servers, and it's nothing [14:11] eh [14:11] oklopol, so you have a site that is the only site on the internet you cannot connect to, but evryone else can? ,.,. thats really weird [14:11] sorry, backspace failure [14:11] you can connect there from my ip, as i've said about 100 times :) [14:11] oklopol, have u changed anything since you last browsed the site? [14:11] no [14:11] not to my recollection [14:11] just stopped working [14:12] oklopol, have you got a shoe on? is your computer laptop or desktop? [14:12] egoleo: u are SOL [14:12] bazhang - i emptied the trash on my desktop and rebooted since then ... or do u mean did i empty the trach via the ipod itself? (i don't know how to do that) [14:12] i don't have shoes, desktop [14:12] i am what? plse [14:12] oklopol, this will probably hurt then,.,. KICK IT!!!!!!!! [14:12] short of luck [14:12] LOL [14:12] bod_: ... [14:12] haha [14:13] Pici, lol? my bafd [14:13] still not working [14:13] it's odd that UUID is getting messed up [14:13] esp for a clean install [14:13] good idea :D [14:13] anyway, so no ideas what might make this happen? [14:13] so any way for me to solve this? [14:13] laughzilla: you worked so hard to install those files then immediately deleted them? [14:14] i reinstalling plse can u show me the best way to install? [14:14] what is an acer 4520? desktop? [14:14] donald_, I'm in the virtual machine now. It's faster than i expected :D [14:14] oklopol, reboot the router,. contact ur internet provider,. reinstall software,.,. sorry general ideas nothing specific [14:14] egoleo: the LiveCD has a foolproof installer [14:14] donald_, I'm chatting FROM the virtual machine [14:14] Arelis: cheers [14:14] is it alsa or arts that allows input from multiple sources? [14:14] yes is acer 4520 laptop [14:14] bazhang - those were only the first files i had to copy there anyway [14:14] bod_: none of those sound like something that helps if it's nothing related to ip :D [14:14] amd [14:14] donald_, Now how do i store my files on the core system and make the virtual machine see those? [14:14] and i had to rename them [14:14] nvidia plse [14:15] and now i can't copy any files to the ipod and i don't know why. quite odd. [14:15] Arelis: shared folders [14:15] oklopol, well,. try changing the timeout limit in your browser,. maybe its just taking ages [14:15] donald_, tell me more [14:15] you can actually connect from this exact ip, using vista, I'M SAYING UBUNTU LOSES TO VISTA (i'm so gonna get help now) [14:15] oklopol, are you certain there is no ip block on the seite? [14:15] laughzilla: what about other mp3s? do they copy over correctly? [14:15] Arelis: set up shared folders [14:15] bod_: does not sound feasible, it waits a few minutes, and it's a small site [14:15] donald_, I've installed the virtualbox guest additions. now what? [14:16] bazhang - nope, i tried that as well before asking in here :) [14:16] oklopol, that phrase is not allowed,.,.;),.,.hhmmm,. must be software related,. erm,.,. thinking ............................... [14:16] oklopol: this is not an ubuntu issue--there is a problem on your end [14:16] bazhang: hmm? [14:16] "on my end"? [14:16] what's that [14:16] arelis: u have the shared folders tab? [14:16] I have an issue with amarok.. its very laggish is this normal? [14:16] Or am I missing something. [14:16] in Vbox settings [14:16] bazhang, if it works for his vista but not for his ubuntu, doesnt that mean it has to be ubuntu related? [14:16] donald_, let me look [14:16] oklopol: ##windows awaits you [14:16] it cannot be about the connection, really [14:16] broken__, im using amarok now,. its fine,.,.not normal [14:17] !register [14:17] i've said that about a hundred times [14:17] By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration [14:17] in fact bazhang i can't even copy .mp4a files to the ipod, nor can i import files or dirs of .mp3 or .mp4a using rhythmbox's import features. [14:17] donald_, i'll have to suspend the virtual machine for that. [14:17] when i try to use firefox or opera my whole desktop *flutters.* is this something i can fix without doing a reinstal? running gutsy. [14:17] donald_, hold on [14:17] bod_, what do mean not normal? [14:17] broken__, it is not normal for amarok to be laggy [14:17] bazhang, i think it may be a ubuntu issue, if a different machine connects fine, that all but rules out a problem elsewhere [14:17] bod_, oh, so yours is working fine? [14:17] laughzilla: I know amarok; rhythmbox not so much [14:17] egoleo: i would really advise u re-install. i cant see why yr UUID are messed up [14:17] broken__, like a charm,.,.;) [14:17] Scrolling mine is laggy, even opening it from the tray. [14:18] Hello ppl [14:18] hi [14:18] SleepingSloth: perhaps; but with the ubuntu loses to vista in all caps I'm suddenly disinclined to help [14:18] i am doing that donald_ [14:18] bazhang - ok thanks :) [14:18] so how do i prevent this again plse [14:18] broken__, what databse are you using for amarok?,.,. has it always been like this? [14:18] it was a stupid joke, i'm just getting a bit annoyed by the fact people keep suggesting it's about my ip.. [14:19] bod_, I'm using sqlite. [14:19] how can I uninstall Opera web browser from my system? [14:19] broken__, try reinstalling and using MYSql [14:19] egoleo: use default installation options [14:19] bod_, well on this install of ubuntu it's been like this but amarok has always been fast for me on previous installs / distros. [14:19] bazhang, agreed. i missed that comment.... [14:19] arkangelp, sudo apt-get purge opera [14:19] ehh [14:19] heya bod_ remember me well anyways i got the windows installation done with and am trying to set up grub to dual boot [14:19] sudo apt-get --purge remove opera [14:20] that was really just a joke... [14:20] Shinobi, yer i remember you,.,. dont recall the prob though,.,.lol [14:20] bazhang, sadly, people seem to think it's a quick route to getting help as we desperately try to prove them wrong.. [14:20] :) [14:20] broken__, is the music folder ina particularly deep place? [14:20] no they don't... [14:20] thank u bod_ [14:20] bod_, nope /home/music [14:20] SleepingSloth: the perils of volunteering ;] [14:20] bod_, nope /home/broken/music [14:20] arkangelp, no prob [14:21] broken__, i would try reinstalling amarok and using sqlite again,. just try it,.,. if that doesnt work use a diff database [14:21] i'm just i'm asking what could result in me not being able to connect to a certain site even though you can connect there from my ip. if there is a way, i'd like to hear it, because i'd kinda like to be able to connect. [14:21] bazhang, yah. [14:22] *if there's a possible reason [14:22] oklopol, the only way is a forbidden site in the browser ubuntu is using [14:22] bod_, ok thanks. [14:22] if you're really taking my uppercase comment as an *insult*, or a piece of idiocy, you are very very weird people. [14:22] but i'll apologize, if it was really that bad. [14:22] sorry [14:22] oklopol, turn off parental controls? ,.,.;) [14:22] Hello i have 2 partitions one is xubuntu and winXP , my xubuntu takes forever to load but it works good once i get to the login screen (it takes about 5 full minutes until it gets to that screen) how can i solve this?

[14:24] laughzilla: how? [14:24] oklopol, do you have something like dansguardian installed on ubuntu, thats a parental control type system [14:24] somehow i had "locked" the files as read only, when i renamed them [14:24] don't think so. [14:24] i'm the only user here [14:24] hi. i cannot install the xen-utils-3.1 package. some "/usr/sbin/dpkg returned an error code(1)" error coming.

[14:25] bazhang - yeah thanks again, :) good questions from you and others, plus logic and trial & error contributed to how it got figured out. :) [14:25] likely an ip ban imo [14:25] oklopol: try kftp [14:25] debaser_, do you want to no what ur hd0,0 nuber is? [14:25] they stopped working at the same time, as if i had an ip ban *outwards* from my comp [14:26] oklopol, can you ping the site? [14:26] i'll try [14:26] excellent laughzilla!

[14:29] sagieg: get a new computer. add more RAM [14:30] oklopol, you could try renaming your ~/.mozilla to ~/.mozilla.old and see if restarting firefox recreates that folder with default setings and then whether that makes any difference, if not you could rename the folder back to the original name [14:30] donald, i just type in (lspci) in the terminal [14:30] !readahead | sagieg [14:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about readahead - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:30] new2linux. yes [14:30] dgjones: i cannot ping the site, and i cannot access it with gftp [14:30] you think that still might help?

[14:31] s/thanks/thank for a pun [14:32] oklopol, i thought your problem was just with firefox, if other apps can't get to it, that probably won't affect it then [14:32] Shinobi, you here?

[14:34] new2: dud card? [14:34] cannot be about software, because no program connects, and cannot be about hardware, because the actual connection works [14:34] new2linux: have yu looked into ndiswrapper? [14:34] new2: eject the card. in terminal type "tail -f /var/log/messages" and then insert the card. what messages scroll by? [14:34] mv davidwong /w8 [14:35] Leila: he needs to identify the card first [14:35] oklopol, dont shout,.,. you can access that site with the same ip from your vista ? [14:35] this is why i thought it might be about operating system, although i don't see how it could be about that either [14:35] oklopol - have you tried connecting by ip address rather than by domain name? [14:35] bod_: i don't have vista [14:35] donald_: true [14:35] SleepingSloth: ping resolved the address [14:35] also, i don't shout [14:35] oklopol, i swear you said you did,.,. have u got another os on that machine?

Nothing graphical is running at all! What does this mean? :S [14:35] my friend had vista on his laptop [14:35] don't think it's about that. [14:35] oklopol, so how do you no its not the ip? [14:36] riaal: spend more $$ [14:36] because he connected using my ip [14:36] oklopol, just a thought to rule out a software problem, have you got a livecd you can boot up with and test it with? [14:36] oklopol, who? [14:36] bod_: a guy called plopmania [14:36] donald_: a Radion 800GTO isn't good enough for a server that doest even run X? [14:36] oklopol, whats ur ip? [14:36] the friend that did the testing [14:37] you can see form the paste [14:37] riaal: looks for S3 PCI on ebay.. :P [14:37] it's 194.251.103.33 [14:37] i think [14:37] donald, a whole bunch scrolled by [14:37] oklopol, can you double check it,. go to 194.251.103.1 in firefox [14:37] new2: can u make anything out of the messages? card identification? [14:37] donald, ethernet controller atheros communications [14:37] aaaaah [14:38] Hi guys.. I've setup anacron. Is there a way I can tell certain scripts to have priority?

[14:40] oklopol, ok ur right that is your ip,.,. but your browser seems to be blocking you out of your router [14:40] erUSUL: hm no not tee, tee doesn't cache input i think [14:40] Hey guys I have a problem with gnome-session, I can only start up i save session it happen after my xserver crashed [14:40] donald, it doesnt say my name [14:40] donald, it is still scrolling numbers and what not [14:41] hmm...

[15:18] new2: ok [15:18] cwgannon: fresh install would be better [15:18] SleepingSloth: bod_: it won't connect to that either [15:18] cwgannon: install using the alternate install cd, at the partition setup you can designate your existing home as the new home [15:18] Tygir, I get my daily duties done, the night is mine to do whatever I want really :D [15:19] oklopol, well that was obvious [15:19] lol [15:19] SleepingSloth: bod_: i don't think you can connect to that thing [15:19] bye all.. Be back later [15:19] oklopol, do you have broadband? [15:19] sarmisak, i want to route my connection to a server, i know windows it would just be: route add [15:19] SleepingSloth: bod_: yes [15:19] spdf: well isnt that nice! [15:19] SleepingSloth: bod_: i think :) [15:19] sarmisak: so i'll just have to reinstall all the programs i've installed, and my settings will be taken from my home directory [15:19] how can I do a software update from the terminal? [15:19] oklopol, what do you get if you type 'route' into terminal? [15:19] oklopol, is it a broadband/adsl router? [15:19] oklopol, go and look at the router,. and tell me what company made it [15:19] cwgannon: you don't have to loose your home directory, but you will have to reinstall the programs [15:20] SleepingSloth: bod_: i have no idea what it is. [15:20] cwgannon: I just did what you are talking about yesterday [15:20] travisat: does the live cd have the same functionality as the alternate, to designate my existing home directory as such? [15:20] SleepingSloth: bod_: i don't think the problem is there, i can use internet normally... [15:20] oklopol, no idea what what is? [15:20] cwgannon: I don't know but the live has been reported as having problems [15:20] cwgannon: it has, and it's better [15:20] Tygir, Life's good lol [15:20] oklopol, is there another computer in the house? [15:20] sarmisak, its routing the connection to a proxy [15:20] haha, not sure who's advice to take [15:20] cwgannon: and he is right, i couldn't install from a live cd either [15:20] *whose [15:21] SleepingSloth: bod_: a few other computers [15:21] SleepingSloth: bod_: not one now, i think [15:21] oklopol - [15:21] *on [15:21] oklopol, can you use any of them? [15:21] ok, i'll download the alternate install then [15:21] sure [15:21] oklopol, what is output of route? [15:21] oklopol, are they linux or windows? [15:21] thank you both for saving me a headache [15:21] cwgannon: before you start, take a snapshot of the installed packages [15:21] Can anyone help me connect my pcmcia wlan card to work [15:21] http://www.pastebin.ca/884700 [15:21] bod_: win [15:21] cwgannon: also I had problems with grub installing, after I installed it I had to use the cd again to do a repair machine and reinstall grub [15:21] SleepingSloth: that [15:21] oklopol, cool,,.,. thats my territory [15:22] spdf: i guess so...hey another question since i have you here...you using ubuntu or kubuntu? [15:22] sarmisak and travisat: thanks again [15:22] eh... i really don't think the modem is the problem... :\ [15:22] i just think it doesn't have an interface [15:22] cwgannon: good luck [15:22] thank you [15:22] oklopol, what did you type to get that output? [15:22] Tygir, Ubuntu, I'm a fan of gnome [15:22] is it impossible to access the update manager form the termianl? [15:22] how can I do a system update with out X [15:22] ? [15:22] riaal: no [15:22] bod_: route [15:22] riaal: apt-get or aptitude [15:22] cwgannon: hold on for a sec [15:22] oklopol - okay, according to this, your gateway is 194.251.100.1 [15:23] phoe [15:23] spdf: how can i change the look around of the desktop...like colors of titles bars, etc...i guess you could say themes [15:23] SleepingSloth: k [15:23] spdf: you use compiz-fusion? [15:23] SleepingSloth: does that help? [15:23] riaal: or I mean yes you can do and update without x [15:23] travisat: how? sudo apt-get update wont update the system, just the source list? [15:23] Can anyone help with connecting wlan card? [15:23] sarmisak: will do [15:23] oklopol, do this for me,.,. ifconfig && route paste the whole output,. including the lines you typed the command [15:23] riaal: sudo apt-get upgrade [15:23] Tygir, Yep, I'm using emerald as my metacity replacement [15:23] riaal: after the update [15:23] travisat: cheers [15:23] i need to leave in a few minutes, is there a command that asks the router to change my ip? [15:23] SleepingSloth, are you seeing two different types of data from his outputs? [15:23] bod_: i've pasted both [15:23] they haven't changed [15:24] oklopol, no i need them next to eachother [15:24] k [15:24] anyone got a quick solution to the flash problem for me? [15:24] oklopol, no there not [15:24] stephen-mason, yes,. please read the pastebins people send you [15:24] wait [15:24] spdf: how can i got about doing that? synaptic? [15:24] !flashissues | stephen-mason [15:24] stephen-mason: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [15:24] Tygir, yep [15:24] http://www.pastebin.ca/884708 [15:25] bod_: SleepingSloth: both outputs [15:25] straight from the terminal [15:25] Tygir, Its in universe [15:25] spdf: isnt compiz pre-installed in ubuntu? [15:25] how do i install man entries for exec and other c++ manual [15:25] bod_, see what i mean about category now? [15:25] oklopol, cheers [15:25] cwgannon: try this dpkg -l | awk ‘{print $2}’ | sed ‘1,5d’ | tr ‘\n’ ‘,’ | sed ’s/,$/\n/’ [15:26] Tygir, Yes, effects aren't enabled by default though [15:26] SleepingSloth, not really ,.,. im just reall yconfused why he cant access the router [15:26] it will give you the whole packages installed [15:26] SleepingSloth, what do you mean by category [15:26] spdf: how do i go about doing that? [15:26] bod_, i mean network category. [15:26] Tygir, System -> Preferences -> Appearance [15:26] SleepingSloth, keep going with the explaining,.,.lol [15:26] StephenMason, you do not have permission to access this page.

If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation. wtf? [15:26] you really think the problem i'm not able to connect to *one certain* site from this ip is because my router has a problem? i know i was wrong before, but that sounds a bit weird imo [15:27] isn't there a way to change my ip? [15:27] bod_, notice the mask isn't 255.255.255.0, it's 255.255.252.0 [15:27] i know we have at least 3 different ip [15:27] Tygir, You can also change your colours and such there (metacity, gtk, background, etc) [15:27] 's [15:27] stephen-mason, thankyou we no what acronyms are [15:27] and that at least one other owkrs. [15:27] *works [15:27] I'm having some problems with my rsync syntax. I run rsync to backup my whole disk to another volume, mounted at /backup. The problem is that rsync sees ALL the files as changed, no matter what, and re-writes them every time I run the script, which makes it take a long, long time to run my backup. Here's my backup script: sudo /usr/bin/rsync -av --delete-during --progress --force --exclude='/backup*' --exclude='*proc*' - [15:27] does anyone know the command to route a connection? [15:27] bod: point? [15:27] i need to leave now, i'll come back to this in a few hours, if you're still here [15:28] cya -> [15:28] SleepingSloth, yer,. mines the first 1 ,.,. so the 252 bit is a problem? ,.,. we can only change that by accessing his router ,. no? [15:28] oklopol, bye [15:28] donald_:what is relation between Vendor ID and Device ID with particular Driver? [15:28] oklopol bod_ this probem seems way too specific to be a network config problem, but what i was getting at is that replacing the last octet of his ip address with a 1 isnt going to find his router [15:28] stephen-mason, this channel is family friendly plz do not use acronyms related to inapropriate words [15:28] spdf: I click on extra visual effects in that pane and it wont let me, says "desktop effects could not be enabled" [15:29] Tygir, What kind of graphics card do you have? [15:29] i ment what the flip, its your mind that filled in the rest not my intent [15:30] SleepingSloth, as i understand it,. a router is assgned an address,.,. say 192.168.2 then a .1 is put infornt of it making it 192.168.2.1 each connection made with this router has the same ip except for the last number which is different , but all the ohter numbers must correspond to the route [15:30] spdf: umm...Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100...so i wont be able to do it will i? [15:30] why cant i download that thing? [15:30] stephen-mason, just ask your questions and keep it polite please [15:30] bod_, it depends what category network it is on. but the router, even on cat d, could be on any address... 1, 2, 124... [15:30] stephen-mason, because you are not logged in to ubuntu forums === richd is now known as Szeraax [15:31] but i did log in? :S [15:31] SleepingSloth, are you sure,. i swear its not,. or at least its not by default [15:31] Welcome, StephenMason.

It ways that 'genkdmconf-kde4' not found, anyone else seen this? [15:32] Szeraax, so install it,.,.? [15:32] bod_, it depends on the router [15:32] bod_: its a file [15:32] Tygir, Hmm, I believe you need to install xserver-xorg-video-intel [15:32] Szeraax, try asking in #kubuntu [15:33] and it talks about that find in the /etc/init.d/kdm-kde4 script [15:33] bod_, and you can usually configure it to be wherever [15:33] bod_: oh, duh [15:33] SleepingSloth, 1 sec emme try something [15:33] can someone send me that flash fix file cause it wont let me log in? [15:34] spdF: where shall i find that? [15:34] Is dbus a standard daemon? Or are there people that tend to not use it for one reason or another. [15:34] Has anyone here successfully installed Ubuntu or any other flavor of linux on a Compaq V3000 model laptop? Please dont link me to som eother page [15:34] FLAC sounds odd (sparkly) in Audacious. Any ideas?

[15:35] are my msgs coming through here? [15:35] Tygir, Just a small bug that's easily corrected [15:35] Saikumar: In the menu [15:35] Saikumar, System-->admin-->restricted drivers manager [15:36] spdf: thanks man for the link, i already have the xserver-xorg-intel [15:36] it wont let me download the flash fix file? [15:36] bod_, i dont think there is a general networking problem - he can access every website bar one - i think it's much more liekly to be bug 59331, or something similar [15:36] !patience | stephen-mason [15:36] stephen-mason: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [15:36] Tygir, Ahh, try running compiz from a terminal [15:37] spdf: how? [15:37] yaa..., System-->admin-->restricted drivers manager.i know this....but i have downloaded form nvidia.com...how do i install this files??? [15:37] Tygir, open up a terminal and run 'compiz' (no quotes) [15:37] SleepingSloth, true,.,. i was stumped by the no router on .1 though,.,. maybe i deliberately not be here in a couple of hours when he's back [15:37] bod_, heh [15:37] ;0 [15:38] saikumar: stick to ubuntu .debs as they're easier to uninstall/upgrade [15:38] Saikumar: Just do it with the Restricted Drivers Manager. If you do it manually, you have to shut down X first and then compile/make it. [15:38] ;) was the one i meant [15:38] Which Distro supports Compz the best? [15:38] that's an odd question [15:38] yer [15:38] I don't think you can put it like this [15:38] :\ [15:39] But if your sole reason for linux is to have compiz, you are good with ubuntu [15:39] S: Better to ask in #compiz-fusion. You're not going to get a non biased answer in #ubuntu. [15:39] Saikumar: What is wrong with the ubuntu drivers for your nvidia [15:39] oops,.,. dont typer S then press tab 5 times [15:39] Thanks mate [15:39] Oh my fuck [15:39] !language [15:40] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [15:40] I typed S and hit tab 5 times [15:40] i told you dont [15:40] :p [15:40] ;) [15:40] All it does is list names [15:40] spdf: awesome it worked! wahoo! man your good huh?! [15:40] S, i no [15:40] spdf: can i hire you as my personal linux trainer? [15:40] Tygir, You did the skip checks thing? [15:40] Tygir, lol, Hire? I do it for free in here.. [15:40] spdf: yeah i did the skip_checks=yes [15:40] where is the host file placed by default? [15:40] yer Tygir he's under gnu license [15:41] Tygir, Cool, check that bug report to find out what kind of media issues you may have [15:41] spdf: haha...i just wish i knew a fraction of what you know....another question...why wouldnt i be seeing any themes in the emerald theme manager window? [15:42] donald:yaa....i installed the .debs ..but ..when i restarted...got a message that my moniter was not detected properly!!! [15:42] Tygir, you have to download them [15:42] Kibbles: /etc/hosts === michael is now known as phroughy [15:42] can nayone help with this problem I am having: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=682650 [15:42] Tygir, There's a little message at the bottom of the repositories tab that says to run the svn command in terminal [15:42] thanks zionpsyfer [15:42] Tygir, Do that. [15:42] np Kibbles [15:42] Tygir, Then you can fetch the non gpl'd [15:43] mikebeecham: Please provide a description of the issue. Posting blind links is something to avoid [15:43] spdf: haha ok...another question...when i closed the terminal where i typed in "compiz [15:43] Tygir, svn ls https://svn.generation.no/emerald-themes [15:43] Tygir, Enable it from the Appearance menu now [15:43] spdf: woops, it did the thing were the titlebars goes missing [15:43] Jack_Sparrow, it's a tad complicated, but I'll try.... [15:43] Tygir: add a & at the end to send the command to the background, then it wont quit it when you close the terminal [15:44] Tygir: get the themes first and try compiz again [15:44] zionpsyfer: thanks again - but that file can't be it. connected to SSH server and it told me that it added the hostname to a host file - which would it be referring to? [15:44] mikebeecham, thats quite a handfull ur trying to do there,. i dunno what an XBMC is though [15:44] mavi- what do you mean? [15:44] bod_, it's the xbox media center [15:44] Kibbles: that would be known_hosts file [15:44] Tygir, Just go into System -> Preferences -> Appearance, and enable the effects in there [15:44] Tygir, That'll restart compiz [15:44] mikebeecham, so you want to send a microsft format to linix and vice versa? [15:44] in ~/.ssh [15:44] Tygir, and from a terminal do "emerald &" [15:45] bod_, if thats the description, then yes! [15:45] xbmc is mplayer with a GUI [15:45] donald_: thanks. [15:45] running on a xbox [15:45] Tygir, The & causes it to load in the background, independent from the terminal [15:45] mavi-, lol [15:45] Kibbles: ~/.ssh/known_hosts is that file [15:45] zionpsyfer: thanks :) [15:45] bod_: its a open source program, not from MS =) [15:45] mikebeecham, which art of that are you having problems with? [15:45] actually its really good [15:45] mavi-, I thnk you'll find it's a fair bit more complicated than that! [15:45] spdf: ahhh ok...makes sense...in the visual effects tab its on "custom", that correct? [15:46] mavi-, what,. xbox media center is an open source program? [15:46] mikebeecham: yeah i know [15:46] bod_: yes [15:46] installation of latest nvidia drivers please!!!!! [15:46] bod_, within xbox, I have set it to search for the linux smb shares....so when I am on linux I can stream fine [15:46] zionpsyfer: arggg the file is rsa encrypted [15:46] Tygir, Yep, that works, then you can muck around with compiz's advanced settings [15:46] bod_, however, when I have booted into windows, the xbox can no longer see the linux shares and does not work [15:46] saikumar: nvidia drivers work just fine for me. enable restricted drivers and reboot [15:46] I want to be able to set everything so that when I boot into windows, the linux shares are still available? [15:46] mikebeecham, you mean booted into windows on the xbox? [15:46] Saikumar: nvidia-glx-new [15:47] mikebeecham: you need to share the directories from windows to [15:47] bod_, on the PC [15:47] Kibbles: Heh, what are you trying to do? [15:47] xbox is just a recipient of the streaming media from the PC upstairs [15:47] spdf: add another one to your tally sheet! [15:47] mikebeecham, and linux on the xbox? [15:47] nop [15:47] zion join #kibbles [15:47] dual boot PC [15:47] Saikumar: Read the instructions on the nvidia site since you seem intent on going outside the ubuntu driver selection [15:47] mikebeecham: just rightclick the directory and chose "share" [15:47] !binarydriver | Saikumar [15:47] Saikumar: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [15:47] spdf: is there a way to make it so compiz and emerald always load? so i wont have to type those 2 into the terminal everytime [15:47] mikebeecham, you need to have the linux files on the windows aswell [15:48] Tygir, Yep, compiz should load up everytime you login now that you set it in Appearance [15:48] bod...see this is the issue....the folders are actually on a secondary HDD, which have been shared from windows [15:48] morning [15:48] mikebeecham, so just set up so windows can see the files on the linux hard drive? [15:48] so when I am in linux, they use those windows shares and then send a signal to xbox to pick up those windows shares when I am logged into linux [15:48] mikebeecham: as long as the drive/directory is shared both from windows and linux then they will show up [15:48] Tygir, You'll have to add emerald to the the sessions startup programs (System -> Preferences -> Sesssions) [15:49] but it's not working!!! [15:49] hmmm [15:49] bod_: hes problem is that his samba shares go away when he boots windows [15:49] Hi Can anyone help me with information on setting up a mirror of my website on my local computer? [15:49] his* [15:49] so within linux, if i right-click on the folder and 'share' then that should sort it [15:49] Is there software for mirroring? [15:49] mikebeecham: yes, as long as you run linux [15:49] spdf:ahh ok i got it now...thanks again man [15:49] mikebeecham, your overcomplicating things,. just share both of the folders so you can see everything from linux and windows,. fix 1 problem at a time,.,. remove the xbox from the equation untill you have the sharing sorted [15:49] mikebeecham: for the files to be shared in windows, you need to do the same in windiws [15:49] mikebeecham, are your WORKGROUP's the same in Linux and Windows? [15:49] hi, I'm on Kubuntu 7.10 using Samba. Do I need to create a Linux user on my machine to be able to share files via Samba? [15:50] mikebeecham, Also, are the shares named EXACTLY the same? [15:50] anyone? [15:50] spdf, this is so complicatingly perfectional [15:50] neopsyche: mirror what? [15:50] spdf, I think so, yes...I am at work so will need to check when I get home [15:50] neopsyche: have a look at rsync [15:50] donald_: my websites .. [15:50] mikebeecham: a solution might be to only add the computers IP as the bookmark and not the folder name [15:50] mikebeecham: then you will see all available shares on that computer [15:50] could someone please tell me what I need to do to get magic sysrq functioning? I'm looking at my /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq file & it's totally blank [15:50] bentob0x, u can use the current user, there is a #samba channel as well [15:51] neopsyche: rsync === vwbusguy__ is now known as vwbusguy [15:51] bentob0x: i would like to try to get something that will automatically update every hour or two automatically and only updating the files that are changed / new .. to save bandwidht [15:51] yes rsync sounds right for what you want to do [15:51] add stuff in your cron if you want to do stuff every X hours [15:52] can anyone help me with this command<< gksudo gedit /etc/pcmcia/config.opts [15:52] >> [15:52] new2linux: [15:52] new2linux, whats wrong with it?

[16:07] bazhang: so how do i open the ports then [16:07] chung everyone start from some place :) [16:07] i have a problem with metacity and the title bar that is disappeared. i've already read all the threads on the forum, but all the solutions are not working for me. I think that this problem came out after installing Xfce-desktop but i'm not sure. The strange thing is that everything is working well on my account (that is an admin account) but not in the others. what can i try? thanks in advance [16:08] bod_: Sounds like a vm such as virtual box might be what he's looking for. [16:08] bod_: VirtualBox [16:08] so can you teach me how to connect it then [16:08] would someone like to help me connect to my wireless router? Im pretty new to linuxand have read guides to get me to the point where it tries to get dhcpoffer and it always ends with noworking leases in persistent databases [16:08] bod_, there is amsn, as a great alternative to MSN Messenger, fyi [16:08] donald_, zionpsyfer, can you give me a easybility rating,.,. like out of ten how easy r they to install and use?

[16:09] what is the command to check all hard drives from livecd [16:09] ?

[16:10] Jack_Sparrow, i'm not using neither compix nor beryl [16:10] bod_: It is pretty easy. You're basically installing windows.

[16:11] rindaldi_ty [16:11] zionpsyfer, inside a folder sounds better,.,. but i dont want to install windows,,. i want to use the dual boot one [16:11] edueb: I still think I have seen them handle that metacity issue [16:11] neverblue, thanks for the heads up [16:12] chung: you still looking for assistance? [16:12] Jack_Sparrow, i'll try to ask there, thanks [16:12] edueb: typing metacity --replace do anything [16:12] bod_: Hmm, never tried that. Though I've been considering trying it on this computer as there is a windows partition sitting around only for itunes. [16:12] bod_: using Vbox to boot the existing windows installation is more tricky [16:12] dgjones, she wont use it,.,. she complains about every aspect of linux because she doesnt understand anything about computers,. she's familiar with something and doesnt want to leave it [16:12] donald_, but dooable? [16:12] Jack_Sparrow, it works but not permanently, in fact when i reboot it's like before [16:13] at 14 and she's like that? [16:13] donald_, yer! [16:13] bod_, also, you could see if MSN Messenger will run under Wine, possibly try #winehq [16:13] bod_ : i havent done it. friend has. but it asks to be validated again [16:13] edueb: I wonder if adding that to the startup of the other users would do any good [16:13] bazhang: yes i am still looking for assistance [16:13] zim__: can you give me your output for "ndiswrapper -l" [16:13] neverblue, another problem ,.,. my dad is also stubborn and refuses to have any microsoft product on his linux box [16:13] chung then please answer my question upthread [16:14] donald tried using wifidoc had no luck any guesses on how i can get my wirless card to work? [16:14] donald_: Ahhh, yeah. The hardware would appear to have changed. [16:14] rinaldi that is a capitol i or a lower case L? [16:14] bod_, well, it is a 'free' M$ product, if that makes him feel better [16:14] bod_: buy a used laptop for her [16:14] \join #arc [16:14] using win progs on unix, defeats the point of using unix at the start. [16:14] lower L [16:14] Jack_Sparrow, i can try that. how can i add it in the start up?

[16:24] chung: i dont use amule but i am sure putting a firewall in will make matters worse, not better [16:24] donald, it worked for a minute then computer froze and i took out the card and computer unfroze [16:25] chung: open the net ports it needs to communicate with the internet, both on your computer and if you have a router that too. [16:25] zionpsyfer: my first time to go on amule so i don't know everything [16:25] zim__: also do you use wep encryption? [16:26] new2linux: looks like u may have to undo the changes to /etc/pcmcia/config.opts [16:26] rinaldi there seems to be two conf files11AB:1FAA.5.conf and 11AB:1FAB.5.conf [16:26] brobostigon: where is the net ports on amule? [16:26] also it is wpa, wep. [16:26] zim__: what tutorial did you use originaly? [16:27] rinaldi for which part, wpa or connecting at all? [16:27] chung: No worries. But if you have a router in your house. You will need to configure it to allow the ports that amule uses. There are instructions in their wik at: http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/Firewall [16:27] donald, it will only work when i use the tail -f /var/log/messages [16:27] chung: look on the emule website, lookup the ports it uses, and open those on your firewall/router. [16:27] donald, i run that tail then unplug my card, then replug it in and it works [16:27] chung: Skip the linux firewall instructions first and work on your router. If it still does not work, then follow the linux firewall instructions. [16:27] zim_: for setting up overall, is the tutorial on wifidocs on ubuntu site? [16:28] no, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 [16:28] new2linux: ok. copy the text that is added on the screen as the card is inserted. then use pastebin to show them to us [16:28] http://wiki.amule.org/ chung [16:28] zim_: so you used wpa supplicant?

Okay, I just got XDMCP working...now to the real problem. :) [17:00] samad909: IS it hdaintel? [17:00] or try to see what driver you have by running lspci | grep sound [17:00] Jack_Sparrow: it is a sound blaster audigy value pci card [17:00] rinaldi utils version 1.9 (a little down) version 1.45 [17:00] for install ntfs-3g I need to have setted this thre stuff: LENGUAGE, LC-ALL, LANG [17:00] I did a chmod 700 / by mistake and now (obviously) nothing is working.

".../windows xp$" [17:03] bazhang: no. did not work. the same error. :( [17:03] bkb [17:03] gnurph69-> and having ssh, make it secure'er, workable across the internet too [17:03] bkb: thanks [17:04] I have a little problem with nmap, much googling show that others have had this problem but no solution -> error http://pastebin.ca/884839 [17:04] zim__: you selected the .inf file right? [17:04] you can do that but the sound will not work [17:04] hey guys, with ubuntu 7.10, i changed the port of the ssh and did a portforward on my router, i can ssh to it localy but not from outside my network, anyone can help me with that? [17:04] rinaldi yeah [17:04] bkb: lol - to each his own. Security not an issue. Now to a different problem: I'm trying to set up an internal SNORT box; any ideas on how to get SNORT to fire automagically upon bootup? [17:04] cronik-> nothing new, sound seems to be very problematic in linux anyways [17:04] set it up in session [17:04] DRebellion: do you know who can helpme?? :) [17:04] gnurph69: [17:04] zim__: ok good, now do ndiswrapper -l to make sure that the driver is installed and it detects the hardware [17:05] sl_new_guy: i think you should explain your problem more thoroughly [17:05] set it up in session [17:05] bkb [17:05] yes you are right [17:05] anyone? [17:05] gnurph69-> read up on SNORT and then look into rc.local or init.d [17:05] but that is not a linux issue,blame all the hardware dev that dont make linux drivers [17:05] rinaldi: mrv8000c : driver installed device (11AB:1FAA) present [17:06] bkb: doing that now. SNORT dox assume a fair understanding of linux to begin with, so I'm at a slight disadvantage, but c'est la vie...been here before. [17:06] gnurph69-> what do you have in your desktop that requires such powerful tools? [17:06] DRebellion: ok, what i need is have installed the ntfs-3g, ok? [17:07] "ls /etc/ndiswrapper " should return just "mrv8000c " and "ls /etc/ndiswrapper/mrv8000c " should return "11AB:1FAA.5.conf mrv8000c.inf mrv8000c.sys " make sure theyre all there [17:07] hi all [17:07] hi and welcome [17:07] how to can i install persian spell checker in ubuntu ? [17:07] Welcome [17:07] for Open office? [17:07] tnx :) [17:07] yeah [17:08] Its a plugin or language file [17:08] i think [17:08] MohammadBoozary: System>Preferences>Language.. [17:08] have you try looking for it in synaptic [17:08] rinaldi: yep, just those three too, I am guessing the problem lies in that I had .conf files? one with an a and one with a b in there last time [17:08] i dont think you can set it up in OPen office like that [17:08] It would be better to look for it on the O.O. web page [17:08] How to i copy all the contents of a certain dir (incl. sub-dirs) to another dir which is on a level below in SHH? [17:08] you have to download the lenguage pack for open office [17:08] bkb: I'm setting up a SNORT box for internal monitoring on a remote network (across a tunnel already, so it's local for all intents and purposes); init.d is used for typical daemon packages, no? Ergo, that's the right place to start SNORT automatically. rc.local modifies local runlevels, if I understand correctly, and not the best way to do this. [17:09] ex (cp *.* /my/dir) [17:09] I tried to setup a server for a star trek game called Netrek but DaemonII wouldnt start [17:09] zim__: possibly yes, now to bring up these drivers type "sudo depmod -a " and then "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" it may take a few seconds [17:09] MidasWS: cp -r * ../mydir [17:09] crimsun: how ? [17:10] yea [17:10] can anyone tell me why everytime i try to shut down and it says fail to shut down? [17:10] 4got about the -r [17:10] DRebellion:but for install it i shout to install "fuse utils" [17:10] cronik: that is not helpful [17:10] bkb: wait, I have that wrong. init.d is the directory *if* a service has an entry there. [17:10] hey people, i've kubuntu gutsy and an audio problem, can you help me? [17:10] i have lost sound completely, using audigy value card [17:10] rinaldi: should anything appear when I do this? depmod took a second and mod probe took a very short time and returned me to the command prompt [17:10] MohammadBoozary: language-support-fa is a meta package for farsi support [17:10] dont you have to include the -r for directorys ? [17:10] chung: is there a specific error code that it puts out when that message shows up? [17:10] zim__: no output = good [17:11] i'm not sure [17:11] rinaldi: allright [17:11] sl_new_guy: sudo apt-get install fuse-utils [17:11] DRebellion: so for do that i need to set those variables [17:11] anyone feel like a bit of mentorship? [17:11] Hellow : i'm not sure whether it has an error code that auto puts in [17:11] zim__: do iwconfig . this should give you output on wlan0 [17:12] it just doesn't shut down for any reason [17:12] MohammadBoozary: or just install myspell-fa [17:12] To anyone: is there a log file that ubuntu makes when it shuts down?? [17:12] yes, it gives me the same output I entered before (unless im not noticing some change) but I dont really feel like typing it out again [17:12] Suicidal_Failure: after install it, i have spell checker for farsi ? [17:12] yes [17:12] zim__: its ok. now did you say you were using wpa security? [17:13] Kibbles: mentorship? [17:13] why some times audio starts, sometimes (many many times...) don't?

[17:13] rinaldi: yeah. I would turn it off because every guide I read said to try that first to make sure everything works out allrgiht, but that causes me more problems than it is worth since there are many windows comps connected to it and they all freak out if I change settings for passwords (last time I did that it took 1.5 days works to get them all going again) [17:14] Suicidal_Failure: door #1 [17:14] i am having problems with audio for some reason after i restarted yesterday i didn't get audio back again. please help, where do i begin? [17:14] Kibbles: and whats the problem? [17:14] i'll try to find out the error code for you if you want me to and then we can sort this problem out [17:14] DRebellion: exactly, then "the fuse utils package needs to be reinstalled, but i can't find an archive f or it" [17:14] mohban: [17:14] chung: ok [17:14] Suicidal_Failure: join #kibbles?

At the moment I have dual screen setup working well (samsung 22" flatscreen and 15" laptop screen) i have now got a dell 19" crt i want to hook up and dual tripple screen. basically my graphics card is a at radeon x700 128mb, i have vga, dvi, s-video outputs. The dvi is hooked to the flatscreen, the vga is in the crt and the laptop screen dunno what that uses. How w [17:16] ould i go about making the extra vga screen work as a third screen (Extension to the desktop) ? [17:16] zim__: then add a record like this http://nopaste.org/p/aJtk3wGVR [17:16] rinaldi: "the program 'gksudo' is currently not installed. you can install it by typing sudo apt-get install gksu" but the apt-get requires net doesnt it? [17:17] Is it worth upgrading Ubuntu from 7.04 to 7.10? [17:17] sl_new_guy: it is in the 'main' repository. [17:17] why is my desktop blank?

[17:18] hmm...how do I find a file from a command prompt? [17:18] Hellow: 7.10 is improved in every way. [17:18] zim__: if this doenst work you will probably have to work from your wpa_supplicant tutorial now that you have the right files in the ndiswrapper folder, but we can give a try [17:18] i am using audigy value and i have lost sound completely all of a sudden, help me [17:19] gnurph69: ls | grep or find or locate .....

[17:19] so at this point I just need to follow the wpa supplicant again and make sure its all in place and then try connecting again?

I've already tried it with network-manager-pptp and kvpnc but both give me some strange modem hang ups when I use the connections settings I've already tried successfully on a windows client === Office_Steven is now known as Steven_Office [17:20] DRebellion: got it. thank you. I seem to be .... not making loads of progress here. [17:20] hello, I am getting ready to build a new machine to replace my current desktop - is there any documentation regarding what I must do to properly move my home server [17:20] zim__: yes thats about it, give wpa supplicant a try [17:21] luckyone: home server? [17:21] krabador, http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/579 [17:22] DRebellion: I am an idiot - sorry typed what someone else was saying... My home directory [17:22] hey im using Firefox and flash isnt working....whats the deal? [17:22] mohbana: sudo asoundconf set-default-card "yourchoose" [17:22] zim__: also before you go to make the drievr saved for startup use sudo ndiswrapper -m [17:22] this is new install [17:22] DRebellion: I want to basically copy my entire system to the new machine [17:23] rinaldi:ok, hopefully it works. thankyou very much for your help. I will try to finish it next time I am able to get at my computer. are you one of the people who are constantly in this chatroom and would you like an update as to whether or not it worked when one is available? also, what does ndiswrapper -m do for me? [17:23] DRebellion: which is probably possible, but I am also going to be upgrading to 64-bit [17:23] rinaldi: and should I do that now or after it has connected and worked? [17:23] luckyone: well, your home directory should be easy. just copy it across [17:23] oh well, i shall just ask again: is there a gui for lftp or else.. how can i tell gftp not to encrypt the data channel in an encrypted connection? [17:23] krabador, THANKS!!!!!!! ALOT!!!!!!! [17:23] mohbana: you must restart your system many times for watching if it works or not [17:23] zim__: ndiswrapper -m make the driver permanent so that you dont have to do that modprobe thing every time [17:24] luckyone: copy /etc too [17:24] krabador, again thanks!!! [17:24] zim_: i am in here often, so give me an update when you're done! [17:24] krabador, i don't know what changed it [17:24] mohbana: nothing :) [17:24] Is getdeb.net a trusted source for downloads? I just got a package from there and am not sure. [17:25] Anyone? I thought i installed flash,...but its not working...did i miss something [17:25] !flash [17:25] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash - The Flash package is currently BROKEN, see « /msg ubotu FlashIssues » [17:25] rinaldi: ah ok, so I could do that now (before I forget or whatnot) thanks again. I will probably be back sometime around 7:00 pm us central time (when my class ends) [17:25] kidem: How did you install it [17:25] kidem: Do you have 64-bit cpu and 64-bit Ubuntu? [17:25] kidem: no you didnt miss anything, flash is tempoerily broken [17:25] the package manager.... gnash-mozilla [17:25] flash is broken [17:26] read the topic :3 [17:26] zim_ im in UK so its nearly 6pm for me!

[17:32] arcticchill360: I've tried it a couple of days, hated it and went back to gnome [17:32] edueb, you should use bum or update-rc.d to do that tho === denny^AFK is now known as denny [17:32] ubotu and unop thanks. i know what is grub, but the problem it's that i can nothing write...

[17:35] jimb0, did you run into any problems especially with the wireless, gfx card and effects, sound and if you have a link to a site which you used can you please give it [17:35] nareshov: Because Ubuntu is better? lol j/k [17:35] :D [17:35] hello there, does anyone have any idea how to forward ports in ubuntu? They've been forwarded on my router but they still seem to be blocked [17:35] nopoe [17:36] nareshov: Maybe because there's a big userbase for Ubuntu and they can make specific things like that work. One thing I noticed from 7.04 to 7.10 is they added support for bcm43xx-fwcutter and NVidia 8xxx series cards through the restricted drivers manager. I think because of the huge userbase they can find what the users need and code it in appropriately. Talk about one smart set of developers. :D [17:37] #cmh@irc.worldnet.net [17:38] what does everyone think of font rendering with Evince Document Viewer 2.20.1 it not as clear as adobe [17:38] cheesypieces: If you're positive that everything else is working, try installing 'firestarter' [17:39] mohbana: It's indistinguishable from acrobat for me on the sheets my work sends out for inventories [17:39] my sound is not working, using audigy value card [17:39] <_moro_bana_> anyone know a network client for chat [17:40] _moro_bana_: You mean something like AIM or MSN?

[17:50] zig, how did you use sudo there? [17:50] nareshov: Obviously. :p [17:50] Leila, non I need to use firefox [17:50] unop, in any way "sudo -s" for example to get a root shell [17:51] hotmonkeyluv: also check out free -m for megabytes and free -g for gigabytes [17:51] Tyczek: Wow, that took a while. The program I was thinking of is called FlyBack and is similar to Time Machine on OSX [17:51] hotmonkeyluv: also you can run this command: cat /proc/meminfo for other memory information [17:51] If I need to logon as the user 'root' does Ubuntu have a password for that user or is it the same as the super user account that is created during installation?

It requires me to logon as root [17:52] unop, what do you mean by repair sudo ? reinstall it ? [17:52] hotmonkeyluv: what else would you like to know how to do ? =] [17:52] Leila: thanks and brb [17:52] proprietarysucks: i pressed it and i get gibberish there too [17:53] bcardarella, by default root is prevented from logging on the machine, sudo allows you to become root temporarily - but it asks for your password not root's [17:53] Zagu: try ctrl-alt-f3 or f4 or f1 [17:53] proprietarysucks: tried all the ttys [17:53] zig, aye, reinstall [17:53] proprietarysucks: how do i hack into the cia mainframe? [17:53] hello everyone, I'm currently on ubuntu feisty, I'm trying to install a newer version of gstreamer than is available in the repos [17:53] Leila: no avail, already tried allthat [17:53] Leila: no avail, already tried all that [17:53] is there any way to use the gutsy repositories instead [17:53] Zagu: sounds like you have a bad media, did you perform the disk check before installation [17:53] and would have cause problems? [17:53] Leila: i just tried changing devices and sound went off so i changed it back and it does not work anymore [17:53] proprietarysucks: no but the thing is now even windows or linux live cds wont work .... [17:54] Tyczek: Oh, before you go. http://bernaz.wordpress.com/2008/01/19/flyback-a-time-machine-backup-utility-for-linux/ [17:54] bcardarella, sudo -s - presents you with a root shell [17:54] zig, any joy? [17:54] hi [17:54] proprietarysucks, is there a way to display the contents of a "cat" command graphically? [17:54] zionpsyfer, ok ;) [17:54] Does anyone know if it's possible to force BIND on a secondary name server to update from the primary? [17:54] i have some questions... and need help [17:55] xTheGoat121x: what do you mean? like a text editor? [17:55] alecs: yes? [17:55] alecs, what's the question, just ask [17:55] (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) <<< whats this mean?? [17:55] i've got a problem running my CPU fan in ubuntu 7.10 [17:55] Having the weirdest issue: optical drive bay won't open. It tries a couple of times and then gives up. Tried pressing the eject button and sudo eject /dev/hdc on cmdline. [17:55] So anyone had problems with signal frequency after installing Ubuntu 7.10? [17:55] Rytmis: have you unmounted it? [17:55] I read that there's a lockdoor=0 parameter I can give to the cdrom module, but I can't find a reference to it in /etc/modprobe.d so I don't know where to put it [17:55] It's like it messed up the video card or smthgn [17:56] proprietarysucks, well, I was thinking more along the lines of on a panel or something. My wireless light doesn't turn on when I use Ubuntu, and there are times I need to know whether it's on or not. [17:56] DRebellion: ah sorry, forgot to say: no disc inside. [17:56] my system log is flooded with messages telling me ACPI: Unable to turn cooling fan 'xxxxxxxxx' 'on' [17:56] @ jedimaster http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/ch7/xfer.html [17:56] also, eject works fine before booting the kernel [17:56] kidem, that could mean anything - you'd have to look into the context of the error to try and understand what it means [17:56] proprietarysucks, and going into terminal and typing "cat /proc/acpi/acer/wireless" can get tedious [17:56] and it works if there's a disc inside, but it's a tad hard to *get* a disc inside when the drive won't open :P [17:56] samad909: try typing alsaconf in a command line and redo alsa [17:56] xTheGoat121x: make a shortcut to it... [17:56] I'd like to get an eggdrop up and running on mIRC from my system. How do I do this? [17:57] xTheGoat121x: make a launcher with that command and set your terminal profile to stay open after command exits. [17:57] dmesg says "irq timeout, status 0xd0 { busy }" [17:57] Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavail [17:57] also, "ide: failed opcode was: unknown" [17:57] Yeah, that's true. [17:57] This was not a problem in Feisty. [17:57] kidem, you probably did not use sudo with that command - prefix a sudo [17:57] Leila: a sec [17:58] or I could JFGI.. sigh. [17:58] other than the fact that the gutsy repositories have newer version of software, is there any radical difference between the feisty and the gutsy repositories? [17:58] unop, in fact I was wrong, sudo hangs even before asking for the password, I'd say it's more a problem with authentification [17:58] The_entropy: newer == improved [17:58] would downloading packages from the newer repository cause problems? [17:58] hi [17:58] any bluetooth guru here? [17:58] The_entropy: if you're not running gutsy, then yes. [17:58] I'm on feisty but I want a version of a package that's only available in gutsy [17:58] Rytmis, JFGI? [17:58] how can i know y my linux crashed ????? [17:58] why would it cause problems? [17:59] nvm I think I found the proper place, booting to test [17:59] xTheGoat121x: Just frigging Google it [17:59] xTheGoat121x: ;) [17:59] well i need to make a script to edit my routes [17:59] zig, if it hangs before even asking/taking a password - then it's probably a problem with sudo itself, if it were a problem with authentication, you're more likey to see it hang after taking the password [17:59] xTheGoat121x: which is what I did, and this time it seems I found the proper thing to do. [17:59] The_entropy: because the packages are designed for gutsy. stop making excuses not to upgrade and just do it. [17:59] zig, anyway, does gksu work? [17:59] Pitel: just ask [17:59] i am moving my laptop through 3 networks [17:59] Rytmis, ahhhh LOL [17:59] unop, I don't have gksu installed in fact [17:59] gksu acts stupid at times [17:59] DRebellion, I'll upgrade when I manage to completly **** everything up [18:00] we'll see if this does it [18:00] oops [18:00] and each net has custom setting ....

[18:05] proprietarysucks, thanks [18:05] DRebellion, I will upgrade when I get some free time but it really doesn't make sense(at least not to me) to upgrade every 6months because you want newer packages for some librairies [18:05] Zagu: ssh into your box and setup the xorg.conf [18:05] Flughafen: If you have the universe & multiverse repositories enabled, the packages you are after are: gstreamer0.8-plugins-universe & gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse. Together, they cover pretty much everything that can be played. You might also want gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg - I'm not sure whether that's pulled in by -plugins-universe or -plugins-multiverse.

[18:09] donald_, didn't try it yet, but from what I've heard it's not reliable, and it's not reversable [18:10] so I didn't want to take the chance [18:10] leila: well it happens when too much is going on and at 100 % cpu usage [18:10] can anyone help me install these drivers on my OS?

[18:12] nickrud, I have some things built from source installed, though I made them into debs so they should be easy to remove from the package manager should they give trouble [18:12] The_entropy: did you use envy? or automatix? If so, upgrade is unreliable. Disable any 3d party repos, and probably you should remove any third party stuff you have installed [18:12] whochismo : what abt crontab? [18:12] The_entropy: remove them first [18:12] whochismo: for ubuntu how to download/configure [18:12] hey, somehow i got 2 icons on my desktop when i connected my external drive; any idea how to remove one of them?

[18:12] HorizonXP: move the mountpoints outside of /media [18:12] nickrud, and no I don't use envy or automatix [18:12] The_entropy: nearly every case where people have problems have to do with poorly made debs, and checkinstall is notorious for it [18:13] zig, sorry, i was lagging -- are you a kde user?

[18:13] I don't think there's a package called vmware-server [18:13] balbir_ virtualbox [18:13] unop_, yes, it's kubuntu [18:13] nickrud, not poorly made deb, built using dpkg-buildpackage using a debian/ directory provided with the source(not self made or anything) [18:13] add deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner to your sources.list, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vmware-server [18:13] nickrud, looked pretty good [18:14] Is there a way to install ubuntu studio them on a different distribution for example debian? [18:14] balbir_: you can download the vmware-server installer from their website [18:14] The_entropy: ah, sounds much better :) but I personally would remove it, ymmv [18:14] hi people [18:14] whochismo : what abt crontab? [18:14] i've a trouble [18:14] donald_: abt?

Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [18:15] hey.... what is up? [18:15] nickrud, I have 1700 packages installed, is there any way to filter them to see which ones were not from the ubuntu repos? [18:15] unop_, ok there is, but it doesn't work either [18:15] meh, no, lockdoor=0 doesn't seem to help [18:15] zig, how are you using kdesu?

[18:16] any idea? [18:16] nickrud, okay, cool [18:16] DRebellion: I didn't, it's pointing to /My Book [18:17] unop_, "kdesu somecommand" [18:17] HorizonXP: it should be /My\ Book [18:17] hey guys. when I'm downloading stuff overnight almost half of the time when i wake up I am no longer connected. it has something to do with network manager I believe. has anyone else heard of this problem?

[18:17] synaptic gives a core dump [18:17] DRebellion: no dice [18:17] and firefox does nothing at all- i type firefox into terminal and don't even get a core dump [18:17] DRebellion: where am I setting this anyway? [18:18] lionstone : apt-get install --reinstall synaptic firefox [18:18] zig, the only thing i can think of then is to reboot into recovery mode and repair sudo with - apt-get install --reinstall sudo kdesu [18:18] thanx donald_ [18:18] HorizonXP: just mount it on cmd line. connect it up, then sudo umount /media/ && sudo mount /dev/ === yon__ is now known as yonie [18:18] nickrud, hmmm 23 packages in there, once I've upgraded it'd be safe to reinclude those sources and reinstall, right? [18:18] DRebellion: right now i'm right-clicking on the icon that i have, going Properties, Volume tab, then under Setting, typing in the Mount Point field "/My\ Book/ [18:18] it would be really nice to have my ftp server running by the time my class grades me on it [18:18] lionstone, reinstall firefox and synaptic maybe? sudo apt-get install --reinstall firefox synaptic [18:18] donald_ I get "Reading package lists...Done...", then it segfaults [18:19] lionstone: why dont u run another fsck as well [18:19] cool [18:19] thanks everyone [18:19] zionpsyfer: sorry 'bout earlier === Leila is now known as The_Doctor [18:19] HorizonXP: also, you might want to mount it in /mnt [18:19] argh [18:19] unop_, ah , the thing is that I didn't try to reboot yet, I'd like to not reboot if possible, but I'll try to find a solution, thanks for your help [18:19] this is agrivating [18:19] The_entropy: I'd give it a case by case thing, some might be in the newer release.

Be sure to check for the proper release from the outside as well [18:20] lionstone: sudo umount -a [18:20] thanks === roentge1 is now known as roentgen [18:20] nickrud, and most of those packages I manually installed because I wanted newer versions than the repos [18:20] zig, you could try logging out and logging back in - or drop down into a virtual terminal and try the same [18:20] nickrud, chances are they'll just be there [18:21] The_entropy: true, and you obviously know how to re-add safely [18:21] donald_: man vsftpd didn't tell me anything [18:21] hey guys. when I'm downloading stuff overnight almost half of the time when i wake up I am no longer connected. it has something to do with network manager I believe. has anyone else heard of this problem?

[18:36] xobius, oh yeah, I tried it, but the very many choices scared me [18:37] xobius, what should I choose? [18:37] zionpsyfer; ya, but there's no fw atm [18:37] <_moro_bana_> my ubuntu cant load, its givin an error, i can only through safe mode what might be the prb [18:37] Achoth__, what question do? [18:37] cbeaver check this http://www.stearns.org/doc/nc-intro.current.htm <-- see the tcp proxy setup near bottom to monitor your system response [18:37] cbeaver: It's basically a gui for iptables. netcat is a good suggestion as well. Monitor what your box is seeing. [18:37] DRebellion: no, i cant: the only output of ./configure --help | grep libsdl is a disablesdl-test or something like that [18:37] something is blocking Cyrus's ack msg [18:37] I think [18:37] cbeaver: use wireshark to check [18:38] DRebellion: do elaborate [18:38] :) [18:38] xobius, The very first: "Driver for X-server", there are many choices like tdfx,tga,tseng,vesa... vesa is already marked [18:38] I've been googling and forum-ing... and it seems that my SATA drive is not set properly in Ubuntu.

The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos. [18:46] kbrooks: because the file (itself) tells me to do that [18:46] rodolfo, not a reason to do that [18:46] jtt can you do that with the Gimp?

[18:58] thanks guys for the gimp info [18:58] !brokenflash | kimmey2k3 [18:58] kimmey2k3: 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.

[18:58] http://pastebin.dylanhq.com/100 [18:58] kimmey2k3: apparently, will be fixed for hardy (8.04) [18:58] jamiejackson: I have take snapshot in accessories.

I don't like to be locked to a chipset/manufacturer. [18:59] bluefox83: well that would be the method that provides the fastest working solution gg [18:59] damn, no way to install from a mounted iso?

[19:02] hi sayers, thanks, but i know how the save to png stuff works, and i know how to save to the clipboard in windows. let me ask again: does anyone know how to save a screenshot into the clipboard (a la windows) in native ubuntu?

If 1 of 3 disks in a RAID 5 fails, no problem. More than that and you lose the RAID set. In any RAID implementation you can still get fs corruption without a disk failure. [19:05] other programs run fine...

[19:54] you've make partion by VISTA [19:55] xobius, I tried doing what you did and rebooted, but there is no diffrence [19:55] My sound has started to act up when playing with Firefox (flash) or an audio-player. But not with mplayer. [19:55] yes but vista doesn't create the partition on the unallocated free space I have created [19:55] Boglizk: Maybe they use different audio systems?

[19:56] Achoth__, wait me a moment I will do some changes [19:56] crimsun: I think so. [19:57] But i haven't changed anything since yesterday, when it worked fine.

[19:58] I tried that.. No effect. Unless theres some application (non-audo) thats doing it. [19:58] When I install the Samba package (Ubuntu 7.10 Server) it fails to create the /etc/samba directory along with the smb.conf file. Is there a reason why? [19:58] The sound is working fine, its just sounding like 50 kpbs [19:58] are some boot settings to add during the cd live startup process (boot) to try on my laptop, I'd like to start live cd but the process freeze..... I tryed noapic but nothing [19:59] Boglizk: are you referring to quality-wise? [19:59] yes. [19:59] Its sparkles or whatever you want to call it.

[20:01] are there any ubuntu /gnome equivalents to the KDE program "Krita"? [20:01] hey ppl do anyone know in how many hours ubuntu 8.04 alpha 4 will be available? [20:01] Does anyone know of any virtual surround sound software that can work in Ubuntu? [20:01] Is the virtual rms program accurate? According to it my linux-generic package is non-free? [20:01] Tetracomm: there's a lot of third-party stuff. [20:01] E_Data, I assume you know that krita can e used from within Gnome? [20:01] crimsun: The sound level is 100% percent, if thats what you were meaning. [20:01] Achoth__, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54104/ [20:01] tokok: there's no ETA.

[20:02] please :( [20:02] Boglizk: too high. Try decreasing it to < 50%. [20:02] brobostigon: no, the date is today [20:02] Petengy, have you selected CD to boot first in BIOS? [20:02] Tetracomm: OSSv4 provides one. Be aware that it wholescale replaces Ubuntu's current audio base. [20:02] yes Jordan_U i just dont like running them because the ones that i have tried run slowly [20:02] totok: final release is three months away [20:02] Achoth__, I change the Section "Monitor" and "Screen" [20:02] crimsun: Wow, that worked. Thanks alot [20:02] crimsun: Anything else then? [20:03] brobostigon: read my message once again, i did not said anything about final release [20:03] how do I list all of the modules that are in use right now? [20:03] i just installed the server version of ubuntu onto my laptop, and it can't seem to get to any of the respoitories it just throws "temporary failure resolving " [20:03] and i know the inet is good [20:03] totok: i misread sorry [20:03] Tetracomm: LADSPA plugins, alsa-lib config, etc. [20:03] E_Data, Unless you are *very* strapped for RAM you shouldn't notice a speed difference between running QT apps in Gnome vs KDE [20:03] its virtually impossible for me to run windows and running it virtually sounds like a lot of work so i need an ubuntu equivalent to photoshop cs3 [20:03] and how do I stop ndiswrapper from starting on boot? [20:04] E_Data Did you try GIMP?

[20:05] E_Data, It is not true that there is nothing else, depending on what you need to do you may like inkscape for instance [20:05] go to macromedia.com thebigham and download the package [20:05] Achoth__: yes, the cd run , I can choose in the startup menu and I have tryed the stdandard start and the safe graphic mode and settings "noapic" at the startup, but nothing to do [20:05] Achoth__, Modeline "1680x1050" 146.25 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 in Monitor section [20:05] !flash | thebigham [20:05] thebigham: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash - The Flash package is currently BROKEN, see « /msg ubotu FlashIssues » [20:05] It's broken.

[20:17] is there any screen capture as video type program in ubuntu ????? [20:17] <[BT]JaC> hi there [20:17] I have a bit of an odd partitioning dilemma and would like some advice. My comp has a 40GB drive and a 250 GB drive on a SATA PCI controller. The 250 GB therefore cannot be booted by the bios. I would like to have my entire root partition exist on the 250 gb partition, and use the 40 GB one for GRUB and other OS's. a) Does this make sense? and b) How should I go about setting up grub? To put the /boot folder on the 40 GB drive too? [20:18] <[BT]JaC> if i get this error: "Unable to connect. No matching comp found: client zlib server none" what do i need to install to fix it [20:18] i just tried restarting ubuntu and it wont load up.. it gets stuck on a screen flashing an underscore [20:18] e66, yes, gtk-recordMyDesktop [20:18] e66, Yes try Applications -> Add / Remove when looking for GUI apps ( make sure you have it set to show all available applications ) [20:19] Achoth__: Thanks a Looot [20:19] Jordan_U: I better use apt-get [20:19] Jordan_U: But The name is necessary. ;) [20:19] e66, Whatever you prefer, ( 'apt-cache search' for searching ) [20:19] when i type ctrl alt F1, I get a black screen instead of the terminal. It worked the first time I did it, but never after that. Any suggestions [20:20] or, at least, can someone advise me as to how to partition to make all boot related files on one hda partition, while my root partition will be on hdb? [20:20] wweasel, putting boot on the 40gb should work - but i'd recommend mounting / on their as well - then mount /usr /var /home... (all big partitions) on your 250gb [20:20] can anyone tell me what to install to be able to watch dvds? i have gstreamer plugins installed and enabled restricted software from sources [20:20] wweasel have you tried Qparted [20:20] drgonzo00000: try f2 to f6 [20:20] When I download Unreal3.2.7 and try to open it, it says: Cannot be opened. No application suitable for automatic installation is available for handling this kind of file. [20:20] I am compiling some code and want to use both of my CPUs to do this what cflag option do I use? [20:20] wweasel, Are you sure you don't mean that you want a separate /boot or /home? [20:21] wweasel: I would think you should only have to install the grub mbr on the hda, grub should find the / on the sata no problem. [20:21] !dvd > netgear (read the pm from ubotu) [20:21] K_Nine: GParted [20:21] DRebellion: nothing happened [20:21] Jordan_U: I am not much familiar with GUI. Just trying to make a tutorial for my localhost web application. [20:21] Jordan_U: separate /boot, and make sure that GRUB is installed on hda (not the drive i'm putting the root partition on) [20:21] DRebellion: thanks [20:21] wweasel both exist [20:22] Anyone know what the problem is? Or how I can open .exe files? [20:22] K_Nine: I know, i'm telling you what i'm using. doesn't matter though. [20:22] any ideas why ubuntu wont start up? [20:22] <[BT]JaC> if i get this error: "Unable to connect. No matching comp found: client zlib server none" what do i need to install to fix it [20:22] Jakerz that sounds like a windows executable. Try wine. [20:22] I'm thinking now whether I should simply make my 250 GB drive the /home folder. [20:22] wweasel: that would be an elegant solution [20:22] jakertzz. files .exe are for windows arch [20:23] Jakerz, Not all .exe's can be run ( They are applications made for windows after all, not Linux ) but you can try running them with an application called 'wine' [20:23] Hm alright thanks Ill look for a different version then [20:23] afte changing some sound settings i restarted and now ubuntu wont start up. im using 7.10. it just gets stuck on a black screen with a flashing underscore [20:23] D|2: what happens if you press ctrl+alt+f7 [20:24] D|2-> waited long enuff? like 10 mins? [20:24] Jakerz, there are executable binaries for linux though, called .deb or .rpm [20:24] nah i havent waited 10, like 5 max [20:24] several tries [20:24] i'm trying to find the bookmarks file for opera (opera6.adr), i searched for it and it turns out that there's an opera6.adr in two locations: /usr/share/opera/ and /usr/share/opera/locale/en/ - why is the file in two locations? [20:24] D|2 Is there a way to fix the Grub from the install disc? [20:25] pine, packages are not exactly 'executable binaries', and that's a good thing :) [20:25] DRebellion nothing happens when i do ctrl alt f7 [20:25] b4l74z4r One may be for you and the other for all users. [20:25] D|2 do you see any output at all during boot? [20:25] <[BT]JaC> if i get this error: "Unable to connect. No matching comp found: client zlib server none" what do i need to install to fix it [20:25] hey guys, how do i install a .bin file?

[20:26] K_Nine: what is this channel for? [20:26] (using iptables) [20:26] ToddEDM Google Earth is in the repros. [20:26] K_Nine: please don't direct users to google like that, it completely defeats the point of this channel. [20:27] no kidding [20:27] ToddEDM For people who can't find things in google.

[20:27] singlesun: have you checked the output from 'dmesg' ? [20:27] bkar how long do i need to wait [20:27] D|2 you may need to run linux from a live cd and reinstall grub - do you remember what you changed before the problem [20:28] Achoth__, are you Egyptian? [20:28] xobius, No, Swedish, why? [20:28] DRebellion, no i have not.... you want me to plug in the adapter and try and connect to a network then run that from bash? [20:28] ToddEDM, People who have tried to solve there problem on their own first but are unsure or unable to do so ( ideally :) [20:28] ToddEDM: you should install google earth like this: sudo apt-get install googleearth [20:28] D|2-> waited long enuff? like 10 mins? or possibly more, emachines are known to be slow [20:28] ToddEDM chmod +x file.bin [20:28] ./file.bin [20:28] Achoth__, the nick I supposed that [20:29] ToddEDM: but to do that you would need the medibuntu repo.

THen that ip can log in again right ??

[20:56] <__mor1> ok, i say it plain: read the funny (!) manual [20:56] i configured my server to use its own ldap server to auth, however when i rebooted i could no longer log in, i had to go into single user and remove ldap from nsswitch [20:56] is ubuntu built on a unix platform [20:57] D|2: gnu's not unix [20:57] __mor1: :) gotta explain what the manual is often as well [20:57] D|2: a unix-like one, because linux isn't a true unix [20:57] is there a nice html editor available for Ubuntu? [20:57] Bollinger: vim [20:57] Bollinger: kompozer and amaya [20:57] velko: localeconf installed and configured to use debconf.. any more hints pls? [20:57] Bollinger what about NVU [20:57] bye === uk-male is now known as incorrect [20:57] lubos_, dpkg-reconfigure localeconf [20:57] Bollinger: and bluefish, screem, others are text [20:57] arg [20:57] does anyone have problems with the liveCD on an 8800GT and a gigabyte P35c-DS3R board (and an intel E6750cpu)? [20:58] thanks for those ;-) [20:58] for some reason firefox-bin is constantly using 20-40% CPU no matter what (even if no flash is loaded and it's not doing anything) [20:58] doofus123 maybe you got a bad cd. [20:58] hey people. I want to install the full suite of win32 codecs for my ubuntu. is there a way to get that to show up in synaptics? [20:58] Bollinger: also bluefish, screem, quanta [20:58] K_Nine: no, i've checked [20:58] doofus123 did you do a sum check [20:58] K_Nine: yes [20:58] !codecs | loquitus_of_borg [20:58] loquitus_of_borg: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [20:58] pine, sory but i think that my internet provider is blocking you incomming connections [20:59] doofus123 maybe u have to use basic video like vesa [20:59] velko: it gives me the same configuration windows I had during instalation. Aksing if I want to use debconf to manage [20:59] K_Nine: could you explain how to do that? [20:59] NullNone, why is that ?????????+ [21:00] loquitus_of_borg: you could use automatix? [21:00] lubos_, oh, either something changed or i'm wrong. please try dpkg-reconfigure locales. but i think reconfiguring localeconf did the trick [21:00] zhobbs: What kind of CPU? [21:00] doofus123 I;m just learning Ubuntu, but on other distros there are choices on boot up. [21:00] Null, restrictions on the internet is not good, Internet should be free and open [21:00] pine, can you paste content of sources.list in private chat window? [21:00] MrObvious, Athlon 3200+ [21:01] ok [21:01] K_Nine: all right. thanks for the help [21:01] i can check out better repositories for you , hold on [21:01] zhobbs: Hmm that's odd. I'm trying to think what it could be. [21:01] i am wondering how one would be able to transfer files between 2 linux computers easily without using ftp.. such as NFS or SAMBA. i read something saying that SAMBA is not needed to transfer files between 2 linux computers and that NFS was sufficient for that. can anyone tell me a little more about this and how to do it? [21:02] DRebellion, either way ... it should still connect to the unsecure network... i just tried using "wpa_passphrase belkin54g" etc... and still no go [21:02] velko: it seems that dpkg-reconfigure locales just trigers locale-gen command and generate previous locales but I ned to add more :-) [21:02] MrObvious, hmm...further testing it looks like it doesn't happen until I go to a page with flash [21:02] mikeymike could u use a usb drive? [21:02] mikeymike: you could use netcat [21:02] MrObvious, but even if I close that tab it still is cranking [21:02] K_Nine, we're talking big files over 800 megs :) [21:02] mikeymike, you install nfs-kernel-server on the one machine and edit /etc/exports to export one or more directories. then on the other machine you mount these directories [21:02] zhobbs: I think that's normal for Firefox when it's active. I have a 1.6 GHz C2D laptop and it uses a lot of CPU too relatively speaking. [21:03] mikeymike: you want to do it over the network? [21:03] StrangeCharm_, yep [21:03] zhobbs: Oh Flash? Hmm it could be Flash itself. Do you use the Adobe plugin or gnash? [21:03] mikeymike: or are the machines next to each other? [21:03] mikeymike 1 gb drives are under $20 [21:03] DRebellion, what is netcat? [21:03] K_Nine, the computers are networked that is ridiculous to buy a drive lol [21:03] MrObvious, adobe [21:03] __morl, DRebellion, could this be a driver issue with my card? that it is trying to connect but cannot? [21:03] StrangeCharm_, they're not close enough physically [21:03] zhobbs: I think Flash just does that. IDK what to say. [21:04] singlesun: perhaps [21:04] MrObvious, thanks anyway :) [21:04] mikeymike then what is wrong with samba? [21:04] mikeymike: that's a double underscore :p [21:04] lubos_, yeah, i know what you mean. installing localeconf shoud do the trick. but it does not. sorry - no more ideas. the ubutu devs splitted the locale package in two some time ago [21:04] mikeymike: it is the swiss army knife of network tools [21:04] DRebellion, okay [21:04] i'll look into it [21:04] zhobbs: You're welcome. Flash may be just one of those things that uses CPU because of all that it does and all the security patches they put in. [21:04] K_Nine, the thing i read said that samba is not necessary to haev 2 linux computers send files over a network [21:05] lubos_, did you answered affrimatively the debconf question in localeconf? [21:05] hello, [21:05] StrangeCharm__, lol sorry [21:05] mikeymike do you want to do a ftp transfer [21:05] velko: yes I did .. do I want to use debconf ? [21:06] no no ftp [21:06] lubos_, yes [21:06] K_Nine, no ftp. over the network using NFS i'm guessing [21:06] im asking for a friend [21:06] I want to have, in some situations, a virtual screen larger than my screen dimension. Is it possible to have 2 screen definition and then choose wich one to use? [21:06] lubos_, maybe look in /usr/share/doc/localeconf for help. i really have no more ideas [21:06] i'm having trouble hibernating on a fujitsu-siemens lifebook p7230. on the hcl, it's listed as working ok. i'm using the intel experimental modsetting graphics driver. i have more swap space than i have ram; i even have more empty swap space than i have ram. i see the hibernate icon in power options dialogue. however, when i click on it, i get a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left, and this persists for as long as i leave the comp [21:06] uter running. when i force a power-off, and turn it back on, i just get a normal startup. any ideas? [21:06] i think i will take velko's suggestion and install nfs-kernel-server [21:06] velko: Replace existing locale configuration files? [21:06] thanks velko [21:07] i'll be back if he cant figure it out :) [21:07] thanks guys [21:07] lubos_, i don't understand your last question [21:07] mikeymike, i can give you working examples if you need them [21:07] mikeymike what about scp http://linux.die.net/man/1/scp [21:08] K_Nine, he's out [21:08] Nullzone are u there ???????++ [21:08] velko: that was from localeconf configuration. Now it works... I needed to answer yes for debconf and yes toReplace existing locale configuration files [21:08] NullNone are u there ??????? [21:08] ls [21:08] velko too bad, it sounded like scp would work for him. [21:08] lubos_, oh, glad that it works now [21:09] has anyone come found they can't log in to their local server when they move it over to using ldap to auth ? [21:10] velko: thanks man but I still think that this is not all I need..:-( this is asking me for default locale [21:10] i'm having trouble hibernating on a fujitsu-siemens lifebook p7230. on the hcl, it's listed as working ok. i'm using the intel experimental modsetting graphics driver. i have more swap space than i have ram; i even have more empty swap space than i have ram. i see the hibernate icon in power options dialogue. however, when i click on it, i get a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left, and this persists for as long as i leave the compu [21:10] ter running. when i force a power-off, and turn it back on, i just get a normal startup. any ideas? [21:10] hi there. quick question about dual-booting: I installed Xubuntu on my laptop a while back, and need to update the firmware on my DVD-ROM drive. The executable is Win-only, so I got Wine running and I get an error like "cannot determine system power state, operation aborted". I have no idea how to resolve this within wine, so i figured I'd install WinXP and rock a dual boot - problem is, i don't know if that will work [21:11] lubos_, and it does not offer you a list of possible locales to install? it should [21:11] Hello all! [21:11] I already have linux, and therefore GRUB, installed, and I fear it will get real messy real quick [21:11] Has anyone had any luck connecting their motorola v9m to gutsy? [21:11] OldGreg: it's normally easier to install windows first for that very reason. have you got a spare hdd or a usb stick or something? [21:12] OldGreg If it is working fine, maybe you don't want to upgrade. [21:12] velko: NO :-) it was so simple in debian and they say that ubuntu is user friendly !! :-) [21:12] any ideas? [21:12] lubos_, yep. but i'm not able to help you further because i use debian proper [21:13] can anyone tell me how to get the logitech dual action gamepad to work in zsnes === Jannitax is now known as JAnnita === JAnnita is now known as Jannita [21:13] OldGreg: you could just disconnect your primary disk, install windows to another one, do your stuff, then put it back [21:13] it's got some read issues [21:13] velko: thanks anyway.. [21:14] has anyone in here had success connecting their motorola phone to gutsy? [21:14] lubos_, np man :-) [21:15] In lieu I have a similar problem, I have a laptop that I have put Linux on because when I bought it used I couldn't get the password for logging in and just decided since I liked Linux better I'd install that. Well this laptop came with Vista Basic which I would need to get Bluetooth working and maybe some other Windows specific things. What's the best way to do this? [21:15] nixnoob maybe this would help i had the same problem with my logitech dual action joypad and grid wars. [21:15] grid wars looks for /dev/js0 for the first gamepad, but my pad was under /dev/input/js0 [21:15] a simple 'sudo ln -s /dev/input/js0 /dev/js0' (the command creates a symbolic link) solved the problem and the pad works now with grid wars [21:15] k_nine: the drive works, but it took forever to even install due to the inability to read properly - all CDs tried were fine. According to the Dell site, the firmware update fixed some read issues [21:16] OldGreg Are you having read issues? [21:16] K_Nine, im having trouble having the gamepad rexognize any key presses in super mario world... === b0ha is now known as saw_ [21:16] and I can't use someone else's machine to update it, since this thing is a bit aged, and the connectors aren't used by dell anymore [21:16] MrObvious: what would you need windows for? are you sure there aren't drivers? [21:16] nixnoob Have you gone to the game site to see if there are overall issues with the game pad in that game/ [21:16] K_Nine, zsnes wont even let me select the gamepad in device selection [21:16] #ubuntu-gr [21:16] OldGreg: and the problem with an alternate disk is...? === saw_ is now known as _saw [21:17] StrangeCharm_: Dell was retarded and I need a driver update for Vista for the bluetooth stuff. I did some searching on the Ubuntu Forums, then the Ubuntu drivers will work. Basically something has to be enabled. [21:17] K_Nine, its covered by esa so i think using this game in emulators is frowned upon in general [21:17] MrObvious: wait, there are drivers available, and you installed ubuntu and it works? [21:18] k_nine: so yeah, there are some issues [21:18] StrangeCharm_: I like Linux better but I would like to play with Bluetooth to see if my phone (Alltel PPC6700) will transfer files or something. === rignes_ is now known as rignes [21:18] MrObvious: sorry, i don't think i see where your problem lies. what isn't working? === _saw is now known as __saw [21:19] hi guys. I just installed a framebuffer in my gutsy gibbon, and since then, my 2 external USB drives won't mount as asked in /etc/fstab anymore [21:19] StrangeCharm_: No, Vista has a driver update that Linux can't do that enables the right stuff that Dell disabled in building the laptop so bluetooth works. Several people must dual-boot and they have fixed it by downloading the new drivers in Vista and then rebooting to Linux and BT worked. [21:19] MrObvious Gentoo has a guide for Bluetooth http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/bluetooth-guide.xml [21:19] hi i just updated my alsa version and now i m getting this when i try to enter the volume control thingi No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. [21:19] K_Nine: This isn't Gentoo. :p [21:20] MrObvious But the guide is generic. [21:20] MrObvious: well, you can either install vista to do some sort of arcane magic, or you can search for another fix, or you can call dell and have them fix it [21:20] Does anyone have any suggestions for connecting my Motorola Razr 2 v9m to ubuntu? [21:20] This is my first time installing Linux, is there anything i need to be careful about it is it just a straight forward install situation? [21:20] miller9time: use the cable that comes in the box? [21:21] miller9time: bluetooth [21:21] Talon: do you have an data on your hdd [21:21] Talon Back up. [21:21] I have a microusb cable but when I plug it in nothing happens [21:21] I don't have bluetooth on my laptop [21:21] Im gonna wipe vista off my laptop(i dont like vista) and install it on in. [21:21] miller9time: use names so that people see that you're talking to them. what were you expecting to happen? [21:21] bazhang, u there? [21:21] Talon: is there anything that you can't afford to be deleted? [21:21] StrangeCharm_: IDK. I doubt Dell will fix it as it's a Vostro 1700 and doesn't come with Ubuntu by default. [21:21] Talon its pretty straight forward, lest you forget to make the sacrificial beer-gins.. j/k [21:21] StrangeCharm: I was expecting it to show up like a usb drive does [21:22] Nope, my laptop is totaly data expendable [21:22] Talon You may want to check the hardware page to see if your laptop is supported or the linux laptop page. [21:22] K_Nine, hi i just updated my alsa version and now i m getting this when i try to enter the volume control thingi No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. [21:22] StrangeCharm_: I was expecting it to show up like a usb drive does [21:22] MrObvious: just ask them for some drivers [21:23] Talon http://www.linux-laptop.net/ [21:23] Talon-> just curious, is yours a Dell latop with media direct button? [21:23] miller9time: with what on the driver? [21:23] laptop* [21:23] miller9time: what does lsusb, dmesg tell you when its connected [21:23] miller9time, Try the bluetooth applet at the top right of the screen [21:23] Nope, my laptop is a HP DV8000T [21:23] miller9time, nvm, didn't read all your comments [21:24] brobostigon: hold on let me look [21:24] deufrai, can you mount your devices manually? [21:25] Talon okay..i was just reading about hidden partitions on those dells..and pressing the media direct button causing problems [21:25] Which package should I install after xserver-xorg-core to start xwindows. I get the message "No valid FontPath could be found" if I give command "startx" [21:25] Easy one: Where do I drop new fonts? [21:25] Talon This guy got Ubuntu to work http://www.enigmacurry.com/2005/11/27/gentoo-linux-on-new-hp-dv8000z/ [21:25] akhilesh, xfonts-fixed-75dpi and 100dpi [21:26] hi all [21:26] StrangeCharm_: what do you mean about driver? [21:26] anyone here using httptunnel? [21:26] bkar, , hi i just updated my alsa version and now i m getting this when i try to enter the volume control thingi No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. [21:26] could not find package :( [21:26] brobostigon: all 4 lines say this Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 [21:26] miller9time: typo, i meant drive. what drive were you expecting to be mounted? [21:26] whats the exact package name ? [21:26] K_nine -> Reading that link now, thankyou [21:27] Shinobi-> i have no sound, cant help you on that..i pass [21:27] why do sound events not work? [21:27] akhilesh, well then look for it harder - i'm typing out of my head. apt-cache search xfonts | grep 75 [21:27] StrangeCharm_: I was hoping it would act just like a usb device and add an icon to my desktop [21:27] miller9time: it not a recognised usb device, then, i dont know what to advise, not sure, sorry [21:27] bkar, ok just that one else seems to notice i ve posted three times..dont want to be banned for flooding or repeating ;) thanks neways [21:27] I currently have 11 apache processes using about 15% of my system's gig of memory. Is this normal? [21:28] DRebellion, I found the solution at last [21:28] miller9time: no, but i mean, what were you expecting to see on the drive? what filesystem were you expecting to be mounted? [21:28] Shinobi no problem.. [21:28] hi i just updated my alsa version from 1.0.14 to 1.0.15 and now i m getting this when i try to enter the volume control thingi No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. [21:28] anyone know why sound events do not work? [21:28] this is strange, i can configure my system to use its local ldap server to get user names and passwords, however when i reboot i can no longer log in [21:28] i have a folder in my file system that i can't paste anything into, how do i change that? [21:28] Skwerl`, Apache runs as many processes so that if one goes down the others aren't affected [21:28] remove the specific ip from /var/lib/hosts, cuz it will keep track of number of failed logins === __saw is now known as _saw [21:28] Shinobi, why did you update? [21:29] StrangeCharm_: It should have a motorola folder that I can move music to [21:29] velko: hey got it, thanks. Installing those font now. [21:29] LjL, because my mic was not working [21:29] mupen [21:29] Shinobi, is gstreamer0.10-alsa installed? [21:29] Skwerl`whether the amount of processes / RAM is normal depends on what you are using it for [21:29] miller9time: should? you mean that it acts like that somewhere else? [21:29] Shinobi you do realize the packaged and supported version is 1.0.14 [21:30] yes on my roommates vista machine [21:30] heya, i just compiled a new kernel and now my network does not work, however i see eth0 and eth1 with 'ifconfig -a' but 'ifup ethX' says "ignoring unknown interface ethX=ethX" dmesg shows both my nics drivers loading and all seems fine, can there be something else in the kernel tree ive missed? [21:30] velko, how do i find out [21:30] Shinobi, sorry - i can't help you with that [21:30] LjL, yes but my mic was not working but i ll reinstall 1.0.14 from synaptic and try to make it work again [21:31] miller9time: what happens in dmesg when you connect it? does the phone ask you what mode to connect in? [21:31] Does anyone know what the folder dwhelper is? [21:31] guys, i have a .package file, how do i use it? [21:31] it keeps coming back in my home folder [21:31] !autopackage | cheesypieces [21:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about autopackage - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:31] agruman-> if you launch network-manager applet, enable or activate it there, what that activate does..im still researching [21:31] oops === trevortwining is now known as trevortwining|af [21:31] StrangeCharm_: I don't know what to look for in dmesg there is a lot of information.

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) [21:37] DRebellion: Yeah, Somewhere like that. [21:37] yeah not pasting in the channel use a pastebin [21:37] anyone know how to get the logitech dual action gamepad working in gutsy? I cant get it to work at all? [21:37] syntaxerror55: The encryption software. [21:37] so you must have esd [21:38] Lattyware: like gnupg? [21:38] Lattyware: go for it. slap on a gpl license and help the world. [21:38] becuase sound events only work with esd enabled [21:38] hi guys I'm trying to install pidgin on Edgy.. but I don't see it in the repository. I have the backports repos installed [21:38] and my install doesnt seem to come with esd [21:38] syntaxerror55: truecyrpt can be used to encrypt entire drives and whatnot [21:38] syntaxerror55: Yeah, but it has features such as plausible deniability and stuff. [21:38] Can you give me a hint how to accomplish this? [21:38] killaz: on edgy, it's called gaim. [21:38] bkar seems my /etc/network/interfaces was empty, strange though that it worked with my previous kernel :/ [21:39] syntaxerror55: plus you can make it look like it's not encrypted, or something like that. Very Cool Stuff (TM) [21:39] Lattyware: I'd be interested [21:39] bkar thanks for the help though :) [21:39] agruman np [21:39] nemilar: Thank U(TM) [21:39] Lattyware: yeah if you're writing a GUI for it, definitely put it on sourceforge and freshmeat! [21:39] StrangeCharm_: sorry got disconnected here is the only thing dmesg says about usb [223484.048000] usb 4-1: USB disconnect, address 5 [21:39] magnetron: ok... I had gaim, but uninstalled it so I can install pidgin [21:39] I need to format a NEW hard drive and copy my installation from my current hard drive to it. On the same box [21:39] magnetron: thinking I can et the newer versio [21:40] OK, will do then. [21:40] killaz: Pidgin isn't in the Edgy repos. [21:40] !info gaim edgy | killaz [21:40] killaz: gaim (source: gaim): multi-protocol instant messaging client. In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.0.0+beta3.1-1ubuntu9 (edgy), package size 1311 kB, installed size 3712 kB [21:40] It's more of a personal favour, a few friends of mine use TrueCrypt a lot, but hate the lack of a Linux GUI [21:40] anyway to get SMART info from a drive connected via USB? [21:40] apparently there is one that exists, but I am assured that it is uselessly bad. [21:40] Lattyware: let me know when you release it, I'd be interest in using it [21:41] Lattyware i recently saw that, may have improved [21:41] Lattyware, if the gui is written using gtk+ you can consider putting it on www.gnomefiles.org [21:41] how do u delete directories in ubuntu [21:41] Lattyware: let me know too. [21:41] Shinobi: via the command line? rm -fr [21:41] is ikonia here [21:41] syntaxerror55: I know that, but I thought maybe you can tell me of a way to install it like a backport or something.. [21:41] will do. [21:41] Shinobi: via the gui, right click and delete [21:41] Shinobi: rm -rf /path/to/directory (NEVER REMOVE /boot or /) [21:41] Lattyware are you making a TC gui? [21:41] lol [21:41] killaz: you could compile it [21:41] If someone tells you to do rm -fr / ... uhh... [21:42] killaz: i don't think you will get that newer version without updating to a newer release (Gutsy). however, you could download it from a third party ( getdeb ), but we cannot provide support for that solution. [21:42] Ok, i'm helping a friend use xubuntu and he wants to connect to the internet through a usb cable. Is that possible? [21:42] How does the wireless networking work with linux, is it like windows with user friendly Guis or is it command line ? [21:42] KaiForce: Either way I'll write one, just to put in features my friends request, basically :P [21:42] Yeah [21:42] killaz: I can help you compile it. [21:42] Flare183: with a usb-ethernet converter, sure or USB wireless converter [21:42] Talon: gui [21:42] why cant ubuntu install everything including fonts when I install xserver-xorg-core ! [21:42] Talon: there are GUIs [21:42] Flare183: some cable modems have USB ports, too [21:42] if i wanna explain xchat to give me a highlight on, let's say, "younicum" when my nick is "unicum" wouldn't "*unicum*" be the right syntax? [21:42] syntaxerror55: Yup, that was my last option..... no I know how to compile the apps.. [21:42] cool, although I'm equally comfortable in linux cmd line or windows gui with TC [21:43] so what do you reckon guys -- will I be lucky this time with gutsy & my wifi card or should I stick with feisty? [21:43] Why is it that I need to install each thing one by one. Am I missing something ? [21:43] Im glad theres guis im not the best with command lines [21:43] nemilar: but like, how can I tell xubuntu to do that? [21:43] That's the plan anyway. Shouldn't be too hard. Already made the GUI in glade, just putting in all of the basic window-opening&closing bits, then I just need to add in the calls to truecrypt. [21:43] titusg: wireless is improving all the time [21:43] Flare183: which option are you going with? [21:43] I lost my home dir [21:43] syntaxerror55: but If I could get the deb/bin in the repos would have been great.. [21:43] killaz: Well, you can't. :| If you want help with compiling, I can. [21:43] titusg, Test with a LiveCD [21:43] syntaxerror55: I think I'm just gonna stick with Gaim... [21:43] nemilar: well he has a usb cable that is connected to a usb dsl router/modem [21:43] killaz: Wise choice [21:43] Flare183: if it's straight to the cable modem, you might be SOL...I doubt there are drivers for it, but could look [21:44] xMS_user: you deleted it or what? [21:44] Flare183: what's the make/model of the router? [21:44] Jordan_U: that's a great idea, why didn't I think of that :-) [21:44] nemilar: I don't know i'm not at his house right now [21:44] hello all [21:44] killaz, gajim is better than gaim !! [21:44] Lattyware: sounds interesting. :D The only encryption software I've ever used is GnuPG, but I'm very interested in how this will go. [21:44] killaz, try it ! [21:44] Flare183: it'd be plug-n-play if he just used an ethernet cable like the rest of the civilized world ;) [21:44] !better | pine [21:45] pine: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. [21:45] nemilar: main question is can you connect to the internet through a usb cable using a usb port [21:45] Flare183: the better solution is to use ethernet to connect to cble modem [21:45] i was copying from one home dir to another via command line. i typed mv -vt /raid1/angel/* /home/angel and mv -vi /raid1/angel/.* [21:45] brobostigon: i know but this is the only option [21:45] Flare183: if there are drivers for the modem, then yeah, sure [21:45] Jordan_U: but would the livecd have updates on it or be the same gutsy one I tried months ago? [21:45] plz, mom is here [21:45] brobosok [21:45] flare183, i had to install package esound and set Sound Events to ESD to get sound events to work.... will not work with alsa [21:45] Flare183: i have never had it working over usb, so no idea. [21:45] titusg, It would be the same gutsy [21:45] brandon__: well thats good [21:45] can any one link me to the ultamate ubuntu desktop? [21:45] xMS_user: Big oops. You told it to delete every above directory [21:46] I've never actually heard of someone using the USB port on their modem until now [21:46] syntaxerror55: Yeah. My friends are not coders in any way, and they made the suggestion, and I was OK with it, but they keep adding lists of 'features' they think would be cool. I'm just going to focus on getting something working first :P [21:46] brobostigon: i know [21:46] jason_, "Ubuntu Ultimate" Is a hack [21:46] Hey! Any idea why WAV's sound crackly in totem-xine? [21:46] you really want ultimate ubuntu [21:46] is a hac [21:46] Some_Person: because totem is junk ;) [21:46] Jordan_U: then I'd be in big trouble -- couldn't even boot to a terminal [21:46] hmm [21:46] yeah totem is junk [21:46] me? [21:46] I wish gnome would use something more sensible [21:46] jason_: It's not worth it. It's horribly bloted. [21:46] i want to get my graphics card working right [21:47] DRebellion: then i was getting error messages about /home/angel being missing when i tried to browse the web while it was still copying. i ran both command at the same time via 2 diffrent terminal windows [21:47] Some_Person try lowering the PCM volume [21:47] vlc or mplayer, [21:47] Yeah, mplayer has some great GUI's, Gnome should use one instead of that totem garbage [21:47] KaiForce: still crackly [21:47] Flare183: if its anyting like a winmodem then it probebly wont work [21:47] is there any all in one gnome multimedia thing? [21:47] KaiForce: MP3's and other files and stuff sound fine [21:47] i logged off and then when i tried to log in it said /home/angel does not exists [21:47] pine: thanks for the info I will take a look at it.. [21:47] vlc is better to dvds [21:47] brandon__: that's what totem is [21:47] Jordan i thouhgt it was a guide and not a hack [21:47] brobostigon: well its the bellsouth dsl modem [21:48] xMS_user: just make another one and chown it [21:48] Some_Person don't know then. [21:48] well I use mplayer without GUI, from command line, thats the beauty of it [21:48] xMS_user: You told it to delete every directory above it. Bash thought when you said .*, you were including .* [21:48] brandon__: but the consensus is that totem is The Worst Program Ever Written [21:48] nemilar, no... with a library, kinda like rhytembox [21:48] xMS_user: er, including .., which in Linux stands for a directory above the current one. [21:48] brandon__: you mean that does both music and movies? [21:48] Does wine work for the command line? [21:48] nemilar, yes [21:48] brandon try vlc or mplayer [21:48] eugman|work: yes [21:48] eugman|work: yes. wine windowsprogram.exe [21:48] DRebellion: not a problrm. but how do i recove from the years of work and 132gb lost [21:49] xMS_user: you don't [21:49] brandon__: hmm, not that I know of.. [21:49] xMS_user: You can't [21:49] xMS_user: restore from your backup [21:49] Is there a list of supported wifi cards somewehere? [21:49] what's the schedule for the release after gutsy gibbon?

[21:49] syntaxerror55, thanks... [21:49] brandon__: will be out in a couple of months [21:50] lesshaste: You're welcome : [21:50] :D* [21:50] KaiForce: syntaxerror55: DRebellion: velko: that was my back up. i did a mv instead of a cp and now the source and the det are gone. but i donot understand how [21:50] !best | jason [21:50] jason: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

[21:50] nemilar, ok.. guess ill just have to wait [21:50] how do I find out if gutsy supports a rt73 wireless dongle? [21:50] man seems like gutsy just released [21:50] jason_, There are many guides for "The ultimate Ubuntu Setup" ( most of which aren't worth reading ) and one hacked together distro called "Ubuntu Ultimate" that is both a copyright violation and bloated POS ( I am a little opinionated BTW :) [21:50] I can't install it otherwise [21:50] xMS_user: well, you can't get it back. In Linux, rm means rm [21:50] jason_: if you want to be leet youll need to run gnome-panel in kde4 [21:50] xMS_user i don't know what you did, but if you can tell me I might be able to help [21:50] lesshaste: the rt73 seems to be supported, yes [21:50] nemilar, how did you work that out? [21:50] lol [21:50] KaiForce: she rm ~/.* [21:51] <[BT]JaC> if i get this error: "Unable to connect. No matching comp found: client zlib server none" what do i need to install to fix it [21:51] <^Elfboy> will ubuntu server or desktop log on to internet or will the user have to do it when he logsin [21:51] that doesn't sound like a mv [21:51] syntaxerror55: i never did rm i did mv [21:51] when I press control-shift-f1, i just get a blinking line... whats up? [21:51] elfboy, automatic [21:51] lesshaste: I googled it...says there are drivers. [21:51] hmm [21:51] xMS_user: oh, sorry. What was the command? [21:51] lesshaste: I'll be back in a minute, I'll check for you if they're included by default [21:51] syntaxerror55, Why? [21:51] nemilar, thanks. what is a good url? [21:51] <^Elfboy> thats brandon [21:51] lesshaste: just drop me a message in like 5 minutes [21:51] <^Elfboy> thanks [21:51] im on ubuntu right now :) [21:51] elfboy, np [21:51] nemilar, ok [21:51] tushyd, this is a virtual console. you have six of them (F1 - F6) and on F7 is your gui session [21:52] Jordan_U: If s/he moved it, it should be somewhere. Or at least that's my thinking. [21:52] KaiForce: syntaxerror55: i was copying from one home dir to another via command line. i typed mv -vt /raid1/angel/* /home/angel and mv -vi /raid1/angel/.* [21:52] and im not trying to hack it [21:52] does WinPcap works in Wine? i tried to setup windows-based sniffer in wine useing WinPcap... [21:52] velko, I know that, but I just get a blinking line... i can't actually type anything [21:52] jason_: in Linux, hacking is a good thing [21:52] tokok: ahem, kismet [21:52] syntaxerror55, If that's what she ran then luckily it's only her preferences that are lost [21:52] <[BT]JaC> if i get this error: "Unable to connect. No matching comp found: client zlib server none" what do i need to install to fix it [21:52] lol [21:52] i hack my psp [21:52] tushyd, maybe the consoles are disabled in inttab? [21:53] Jason: Me too :) [21:53] DRebellion, hey again, running the distribution upgrade tool, we'll see how this thing goes [21:53] lol [21:53] velko, how do I enable it then?

[21:53] DRebellion, however, it needs to download 1.2GB's worth of packages... wtf? [21:53] The_entropy: heh [21:53] You guys i need help launching Democracy player i just installed it but its not in the application lists :'( [21:53] noor: is it gui?

[21:57] DRebellion: Err...not funny. [21:57] Is it bad when it says cannot allocate region * from Bridge ***** [21:57] lesshaste: ubuntu's documentation says that it works plug-n-play with Gusty [21:57] Jordan_U, nothing went wrong, it just needs to download twice as much as I would need for a fresh install(around 1.25GB) [21:57] is there an important file that when overwritten i would lose my connection /home/angel? [21:57] nemilar, have you got a url for that? [21:57] xMS_user: /etc/passwd :) [21:57] was /home/angel mounted remotely?

[22:01] nemilar, yeah, i can understand that, but gtk-gnutella doesnt even let you launch the song with a different app, you have to open it manually [22:02] I run I have notomatoes once Im in the game ed_ [22:02] flyinghippo: for older macs (PPC) you need the PPC version of ubuntu...for the new ones, the intel version should work just fine [22:02] ed_: http://www.pastebin.ca/885386 [22:02] flyinghippo, Typing on a MBP now, why :) [22:02] The game works ed_ it just warmsup and works louder [22:02] ed_: the actual error message contains many many many line breaks before that [22:02] and limewire and frostwire use JAVA and it is slow and buggy, and doesnt work well with my theme \ [22:02] flyinghippo, http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBook [22:02] Jordan_U: I've tried booting Ubuntu, among other distros, and all of the disks were rejected. That page has nothing on it. [22:02] Hi! what's the best way to upgarde 6.06 to the latest ?? I'm using server functions mostly [22:02] meoblast001: that's a very evil crash [22:03] etronik_: one version at a time [22:03] ed_: so im f*cked? [22:03] !upgrade [22:03] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [22:03] brandon__: I think that's the only one out there...most people these days use bittorrent [22:03] lukasz: well what's the thing about notomatoes [22:03] What does it mean if my system crashes and the Caps lock and the Scroll lock lights are blinking? [22:03] meoblast001: not really [22:03] flyinghippo, Rejected in what way? Is this an intel machine or PPC? [22:03] brandon__: clients for old p2p networks don't get much attention anymore [22:03] etronik_: No. You have to Dapper>Edgy>Feisty>Gutsy. Or, do a fresh install. (do this one ;D) [22:03] meoblast001: can you run other 3d games on that machine? [22:03] meoblast001: like openarena? [22:03] "Ext3 does not do checksumming when writing to the journal. If barrier=1 is not enabled as a mount option (in /etc/fstab), and if the hardware is doing out-of-order write caching, one runs the risk of severe filesystem corruption during a crash." (c) wikipedia........ So why barrier=1 is not enabled by default in Ubuntu? [22:03] So I see it will warmup on certain games ed_? [22:04] Moduliz0r: crashes in what way? [22:04] ed_: i can run Nexuiz [22:04] sheeesh! I do hop one at a time ?? oh boy [22:04] bittorrent, is there as many resources for bittorrent, i always had a hard time using bittorent, like browser interface and such [22:04] nemilar: just freezes up completely [22:04] ed_: and frets on fire, and supertux [22:04] meoblast001: what version did you d/l [22:04] ed_: the one in the repos [22:04] Moduliz0r: randomly? or when you do something specific? === vox__ is now known as vox [22:04] Moduliz0r: does it happen often? [22:04] nemilar: today its been often, quite randomly [22:05] lukasz: well that game you're running, did it _ever_ work without warming up? [22:05] it works I can run it ed_ [22:05] Moduliz0r: are you duel booting? [22:05] It just wamrs up [22:05] meoblast001: i didnt knew it was in the repos [22:05] tokok-> i dont know, but if you want enterprise class server, i'd go with suse or redhat [22:05] I have been, but thats never been an issue [22:05] ed_: well i have extra repos installed [22:05] What could it be? [22:05] But It warms my laptop up Ed [22:05] Moduliz0r: I'm wondering if it could be a hardware issue [22:06] It may be a heat issue [22:06] what bittorrent client would you say is the best? [22:06] lukasz: that's normal -- when you run stuff that are CPU-intensive and GPU-intensive it's kind of normal [22:06] azerus? [22:06] Moduliz0r: that's what I've been thinking. Do you have temp monitors on your hardware? [22:06] thnx ed_ [22:06] lukasz: when I run openarena on my laptop it goes up to 63 C [22:06] brandon__, i'm very happy with ktorrent [22:06] No I don't [22:06] ic [22:06] xMS_user, To be honest I am probably your best bet at the moment for getting help in this channel, someone who was helping you had to leave and asked me to follow up but I still have no idea what problem you are having [22:06] brandon__: there are a slew of them... ktorrent, azureus, deluge, transmission ... it's a personal-taste thing [22:06] then it coolsitseld off am I correct ed_? [22:06] Although the BIOS can tell me temperatures, can I pull those up in Linux? [22:06] coolsitself off* [22:07] Moduliz0r: yeah, there's an app for it... if you're in gnome, install sensors-applet [22:07] Now its seems to be fine ed_ when Im not running games hehe [22:07] ed_: i have version 0.0.20070413.dfsg-1 [22:07] ok [22:07] lukasz: i know [22:07] Music is fine and other things just games hehe [22:07] Resource hogs :P [22:07] meoblast001: okay I will give you a link; wait a minute [22:08] ed_: i dont want to redownload, this took 2 hours [22:08] !flashissues [22:08] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken.

[22:10] no [22:10] Isn't the fix for that flash issue just for ubuntu to put an updated apckage with an updated hash in the repo? [22:10] ed_: could it be that i dont have cube.... im not sure if this version of sauerbraten i have comes with cube [22:10] can I delete content of /tmp without breaking the system? [22:10] Moduliz0r: can you run sensors-detect from the command line? [22:10] lets see... [22:10] meoblast001: normally it would end with some error about not finding the library [22:11] meoblast001: but no [22:11] kane77: without breaking the system, yes...but you might break some stuff you're currently running, like your GUI [22:11] kane77: yes [22:11] kane77: perhaps === SinjoroAkuzativo is now known as Alekcxjo [22:11] steveire-> i downloaded flash earlier the tar.gz, installed it and its working on 7.10 [22:11] lols [22:11] nemilar, pepperjack Slart, thanx [22:11] ok i answered loads of YES [22:11] Howdy folks [22:11] and Intel Core family thermal sensor is there [22:12] kane77: glad we got that sorted out.. we just needed someone to say "no" =) [22:12] Moduliz0r: are you getting a readout?

[22:13] meoblast001: thing is, you'll have to run it manually, unless you create a launcher for it [22:13] ed_: ok... is it like nexuiz download.... you just untar it to a place like /opt and then run it from there [22:13] meoblast001: something like that [22:13] Moduliz0r: i2c-sensor I believe [22:13] ed_: ill make a launcher [22:14] nothing [22:14] yeah [22:14] Moduliz0r: you're currently getting a readout, though? [22:14] nemilar: I did when I ran whatever it was [22:14] meoblast001: what repository were you using? [22:14] xMS_user, ( Your explanation ended mid sentence in case that was unintended ) Is the problem that you think you have lost important personal data or that some applications aren't working?

[22:14] Moduliz0r: you can find whatever you need in there [22:14] Which directory/folder do i add to include other files on startup please. [22:15] meoblast001: you have a few what? [22:15] nemilar: i2c_dev and i2c_i801 are there [22:15] ed_: repos [22:15] meoblast001: oh [22:15] meoblast001: wait [22:15] Moduliz0r: those are the ones you'll want to add, then [22:15] nemilar: but how? [22:15] nemilar: Jordan_U no that is it [22:15] nemilar: the applet still doesnt detect any sensors [22:15] I accidentally removed the little WiFi meter from the top panel... I looked in the "add to panel" menu for it... but it wasn't there (that I could see)... anyone know how to re-add it? [22:16] Moduliz0r: I thought you said you were getting a readout? [22:16] you prolly go into user prefs [22:16] nemilar: what I meant was the sensors-detect thing said that there was an Intel Core family thermal thing, but it didnt tell me anything else [22:16] Moduliz0r: did it give you the name of the modules you need, when it finished running? [22:16] i changed the ownership of a folder from root to my user and the folder behaves as if the change was succsessful, but when i right click the folder and view permissions, it's still owned by root, what's up with that? === etronik__ is now known as etronik [22:17] ed_: well... im gonna go... thanx for the file [22:17] is the flux capacitor running or is it in anti-time-discombobulation mode? [22:17] meoblast001: you should file in a bug [22:17] nemilar: It didn't ask for them, it offered to add the entries to /etc/modules or whatever it was automatically [22:17] Moduliz0r: but after that, it should have given you a list of modules it added [22:17] xMS_user, Is the problem that you think you have lost important personal data or that some applications aren't working? [22:17] nemilar: I'll try it again :P [22:18] very very very very important personal data Jordan_U [22:18] turn the flux capacitor on! [22:18] Moduliz0r: run 'sudo modprobe [modulename]' after that, and then run 'sensors' and it will hopefully give you some info [22:18] xMS_user: where are your backups??

[22:20] nemilar: thank you [22:20] then turn on the flux capacitor [22:20] Moduliz0r: :) np np [22:20] Oh, yeah, and also enable the flux capacitor. Very important.

[22:36] Seveas: I also have 4gb swap [22:36] ok, the problem is when im trying to go to fullscreen, the clip goes pops up in a new window, but i want it to be fullscreen in the existing window [22:36] Nihilist_Nerd, that helps :) [22:36] bkb, sorry - it was for incorrect [22:37] I used EasyBCD on Vista to add Linux and it Linux shows up with the other OS's during boot up, but when I go to Linux, it gives me that weird compatible Fdisk message. So what did I miss? Is there a webpage that could show me what to do? [22:37] Nihilist_Nerd, Yes, it's possible. Why though? :) [22:37] found it! update-alternatives --set editor /usr/bin/vim [22:37] 'Cause I've partitioned my HDD to death and I want to run an OS from RAM [22:37] Nihilist_Nerd: that would require loading the OS into ram every time you boot [22:37] I'm customising a LiveCD so that I can run from RAM [22:37] Yeah [22:38] This is true [22:38] Nihilist_Nerd: which...would be slow [22:38] Though obviously it will be fast once booted :D [22:38] sorry guys. back [22:38] Nihilist_Nerd: it would also mean that you can't install any new programs...you can, but it will all be lost if you need to reboot [22:38] Nihilist_Nerd-> umm you dont realize once you boot from liveCD you are running on RAM ? [22:38] Nihilist_Nerd: that's what SSD's are for [22:38] Seriously, I discovered this first in fedora and was amazed at how awesome it has been [22:38] bkb: yeah, but I think what i want to do is different... bottoRAM - requires 1gb or more [22:38] Nihilist_Nerd: you can create a ramdisk if you really want to [22:39] NASAchusetts: Easybcd?.. I think you'll find we're good at ubuntu.. ask the easybcd people about their thing [22:39] I assume that this loads pretty much everything into ram [22:39] sry guys i lot my connection [22:39] Jordan_U: still there? [22:39] xMS_user, Yes [22:39] Nihilist_Nerd: this is what SSDs are made for...you can get one large enough to hold your OS for not too much $$$ [22:39] Nihilist_Nerd-> no it does not load everything to ram, you must still manually add it in [22:39] is there a cli email client? [22:39] Pulpie: there are like a billion [22:39] If I leave my computer on while running from RAM, how environmentally unfriendly will I be? Hmm... how about if I hibernate? [22:39] Pulpie: pine and mutt are two common ones [22:40] nemilar: do u have a fav? [22:40] nemilar: SSDs? [22:40] Nihilist_Nerd-> you snooze you lose..hehe [22:40] Pulpie: pine is my favorite [22:40] the output of sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54143/ [22:40] Pulpie, mutt is mine :-) [22:40] nemilar: ty [22:40] nemilar: you snooze you lose? [22:40] Nihilist_Nerd: Solid State Drives. [22:40] is there any chance to resstore his windows partition? [22:40] Ah [22:40] Nihilist_Nerd, Are you using a heater at the moment? [22:40] velko: thats nice... do u have a favorite color too? [22:40] :D [22:40] Like Flash media? What are the advantages of these? [22:40] Grr, I can't understand how to install java. [22:40] Nihilist_Nerd: they're basically flash memory that acts as a hard drive...the Next Big Thing [22:40] Pulpie, :-P [22:40] I just installed ubuntu on my Dell Inspiron 1520 and I have two issues: 1. the sound isn't being detected and 2. flash based items don't work in firefox even though I installed adobe flash. [22:40] Nah, I don;'t really use radiaters [22:41] 8radiators [22:41] * Slart is getting a ssd-drive for his laptop... yummy [22:41] is there a native linux driver for the netgear wg511 marvell chipset? [22:41] Nihilist_Nerd: it's not quite as fast as RAM, but you don't loose all the data when your computer shuts down, or hibernates [22:41] What's the advantage of this over HDD? [22:41] Repentinus: can you just sudo apt-get install sun-java-whatever? [22:41] Nihilist_Nerd: it's flash-based, so it's much faster [22:41] And also, don't they die after 100 000 writes? [22:41] Shuggl1-> okay, they are there, now you have to mount them in mount points like / or /home [22:41] Nihilist_Nerd: no moving parts.. faster.. [22:41] Nihilist_Nerd: they last longer than conventional HDDs [22:41] Thanks [22:41] Nihilist_Nerd: and hard drives last forever? =) [22:41] Wow [22:42] Not mine! [22:42] Slart: Seagates do!! [22:42] :D [22:42] he used the guided setup and it seems to have deleted his original partition table then didnt successfully install [22:42] nemilar: hehe.. I've got some paperweights here that says otherwise =) [22:42] Nihilist_Nerd, And they cost upwards of $1,000 :) [22:42] Slart: actually, I still have an original IBM 1.5GB hard drive, from an old IBM Aptiva P1 133MHz, still doin' it's thing [22:42] Nihilist_Nerd-> think about how those network appliances are, they have not hard disk normally, only cf disk to boot and run the os [22:42] Nihilist_Nerd, If you want one that is more than a few GIG that is [22:42] it's just that I asked my friend what running an OS from RAM Flash Drive would be like and he said awful, cause it would soon die [22:42] Jordan_U: you can get a small one for a few hundred bucks now [22:42] nemilar: bah... it's just faking it.. but this is offtopic. [22:43] Slart: hahaha [22:43] Nihilist_Nerd: SSD != RAM drive [22:43] I know [22:43] Nihilist_Nerd: yes.. it's just that a hard drive dies before the ssd drive [22:43] they've worked out the writes issue that life shouldn't be a problem [22:43] Nihilist_Nerd-> read/write cycle of 100k plus is about 10 years on typical user, if you dont do any logging [22:43] anyone here had problems booting ubuntu 7.10? mine crashes when tries to start the cups daemon [22:43] Could I possibly pm anyone regarding intitial install issues? [22:43] bkb: what would his windows partition be? there is no sda3 or sda4 [22:43] Wow, doesn't the OS often write to /tmp? [22:43] deme: ask the question here, if someone knows the answer they'll help you [22:44] extended? [22:44] And what about /proc? [22:44] what is /tmp? [22:44] Nihilist_Nerd: /tmp is usually in RAM [22:44] Oooh [22:44] Nihilist_Nerd, If you put DSL on a flash drive and boot it with the "toram" kernel parameter you are really running from RAM and there are no writes to the drive so less ( no? ) wear :) [22:44] So part of the / filesystem is in the RAM! [22:44] Nihilist_Nerd: /proc isn't a "on disc" file.. it's just a .. what to call it.. in memory file [22:44] WoW! i really like this Ubuntu so far :D im glad i installed it. [22:44] Does anyone know how to get linux to detect the audio on a Dell Inspiron 1520? [22:44] xMS_user: /tmp is where apps keep temporary data that is cleaned when they close [22:45] Talon: glad to hear it [22:45] Shuggl1-> what are those partitions? they were just built and nothing installed? [22:45] does anyone know how to make abiword the default word processor for gutsy? [22:45] Talon: you will _inevidably_ run into some problems, though ;) [22:45] I just tried burning MINIPE to a cd and got an error (and wasted a cd) [22:45] Can anyone help [22:45] Stepa2: be more specific about the error...use pastebin if necessary [22:46] Wow this is really surpising to me. And about DSL: how hard is it to use? is it uitable for someone like me (quite newbish, but not totally a beginner) [22:46] chaosrl: default word processor? why.. [22:46] Stepa2-> as a comparison, i have coasters (dvd), would you like to trade? [22:46] Sorry if I'm being too offtopic [22:46] Nihilist_Nerd: are you speaking of D-mn Small Linux? [22:46] nemilar: It said :error writing to cd, try using lower speed [22:46] yes indeed [22:46] Stepa2: did you try using a lower speed? [22:46] Nihilist_Nerd-> those are for you, you will do well with DSL [22:46] bkb: sure :-) [22:46] Nihilist_Nerd: DSL isn't really for a desktop...it's very, very minimal [22:47] Slart: i've had better luck with abiword+charts and graphics converting into .docs for use on windows machine, and right now the openoffice word processor is the default for handling .docs, which is a minor annoyance, but not that big of a deal [22:47] Which directory/folder do I add to, to include more files on startup please. [22:47] bkb: Hmm, I heard from my school technician that you have to manually mount stuff [22:47] i was just wondering if i could get abiword to open .docs by default [22:47] Nihilist_Nerd: it's used mostly as a rescue distro, with certain uses in small devices that don't need many programs [22:47] Spee_Der-> what do you want done? [22:47] chaosrl: ahh.. default for opening doc-files.. now I understand [22:47] nemilar: No, i do not want to risk another blank cd. Just want to check if this could be a problem. When i downloaded minipe, i downloaded in nrg format and used nrg2iso to convert. Is that fine? [22:47] Nihilist_Nerd-> or can be done automatically if they are available at boot [22:47] Ah okay, so is DSL more appropriate for... wshing machines? [22:47] Slart: sorry if i wasn't being clear; is it possible? [22:47] Thanks bkb. I need to add a new file on startup for the network. [22:47] Nihilist_Nerd-> you need to modify /etc/fstab [22:48] chaosrl: find a doc-file and.. right click on it.. properties [22:48] Stepa2: should be fine. If it says try a slower speed, you should try a slower speed ;) CD-Rs are like $0.25/each, anyhow [22:48] chaosrl: i think you can right click it, and there is an option somewhere in there [22:48] Spee_Der-> what would this new file do for you? [22:48] nemilar: okay, ill try [22:48] Meh, doesn't sound like my sort of thing. I like the prospect of something that works well out of the box. [22:48] chaosrl: there you have a "open with" tab that will let you select what program to use to open it [22:48] Slart: haha, maybe i should have looked a bit harder... thanks! [22:48] bkb, this is in order for my IPv6 application to function properly. [22:48] Nihilist_Nerd: DSL isn't for desktop use [22:48] yeah okay. [22:48] does anyone in here run vnc [22:48] Spee_Der: where are you that you have IPv6 support from your ISP?? [22:48] adub: sometimes, yes [22:49] Spee_Der-> text files are read, not executed, so maybe I am not following you? [22:49] * Spee_Der is located in Rhode Island, USA. [22:49] hi [22:49] Spee_Der: omg you really do have ipv6 [22:49] Hello. [22:49] is there a way to install grub? [22:49] slart i setup a server and i am having trouble connecting to it [22:49] how can create ntfs partition using gparted? i want to install vista on the empty partition left, but seems impossible. [22:49] nemilar-> they are okay for low budget == dsl am low budget too [22:49] am i suppose to add computers that are allowed to connect or should i just be able to connect as long as the server is listening on say port 5800 [22:49] adub: ok.. I assume you can ping the server and such.. so all cables are connected [22:49] it seems like he has no installed grub, or the install broke before doing that [22:49] heya [22:49] bkb, Okay. I need to include on start-up for my IPv6 to function properly. I just forget where to add in the Ubuntu ONSTART = [22:50] Right click on unused space, select new partition and choose 'ntfs' from a drop-down box in a dialogue that will appear [22:50] that's at bioshock [22:50] slart yes i can ping the ip [22:50] nemilar, Yes. And it works very well. [22:50] Spee_Der-> ahh.. /etc/network/interfaces [22:50] anyone can tell me how to get the wireless to work on k/ubuntu? [22:50] adub: I think you can configure the vnc server to do either.. hang on.. let me check [22:50] No tunnel provider. [22:50] nemilar: error again [22:50] Shuggl1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [22:50] Stepa2: can you mount the iso? [22:50] try that [22:50] hi [22:50] nemilar: explain [22:50] Nihilist_Nerd, the list contains many types, (ext3,fat16,fat32) ntfs also, but i _CAN'T_ click on ntfs. [22:51] bkb, Thanks much, I will have a look there after dinner...... merci beaucoup..... [22:51] slart thanks im running a port scan on the server to just make sure that vnc is running and listening i know i left it on when i left the location tho [22:51] nemilar: please :-D [22:51] Chase-san, It should be listed in your network-manager, are you using Gnome (normal Ubuntu), Kubuntu, or Xubuntu? [22:51] Stepa2: try mounting it to a directory (mount -o loop -t iso.iso [directory]) [22:51] err [22:51] that command is wrong [22:51] mount -o loop iso.iso directory/ [22:51] adub: oh.. you're not anywhere near the server you installed vnc on? [22:51] bioshock: what a mystery... is it greyed out? [22:51] yes [22:51] Spee_Der-> bou coup de mundial..hehehe [22:51] nemilar, Yes. It works nicely, but when i re-start the system, I need first to call a program to provide that serivice...... [22:51] bobbob1016: I am using kubuntu 7.10 [22:52] Hold on bioshock, let's make a new channel to avoid crowding this one: #bioshockandnn [22:52] slart i set this up on my parents computer so no [22:52] what is the linux graphic package that lets me do a little more than impress? [22:52] Spee_Der: just running a command? you can put that in your rc.local file, and it will run each time automatically at boot [22:52] ok [22:52] only blender? [22:52] they are basically computer illiterate and i am moving away from home so i need to do something like this so i can help them [22:52] !blender [22:52] blender is a free application for 3D modelling, animation, rendering, etc. You can install it from Ubuntu's repositories, and tutorials are at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro [22:52] riba1-> you can impress people with blender and inkscape [22:52] bobbob1016: It shows eth0, but it doesn't show a wireless device, however, I have both a line based and a built in wireless [22:52] nemilar: does it matter where i mount it? [22:52] nemilar, You need sudo/gksu, I just did that coincidently. [22:52] adub: which vnc-server did you use? [22:52] nemilar, Many thanks. That is what I am looking for..... will try that after dinner....... Ciao for now. [22:52] anyone here had problems booting ubuntu 7.10? mine crashes when tries to start the cups daemon [22:52] slart tight vnc [22:52] Stepa2: no, just create the directory first [22:53] bobbob1016: of course, it's a system file...wouldn't want any old user to be able to put a start-up command in [22:53] hey guys [22:53] ok...tx.. [22:53] at their place i set it up to where it can log in view loopback adapter i did this just to test [22:53] !hi | RasterBurner [22:53] RasterBurner: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [22:53] i used the web interface adn was able to connect no problems with their ip http://thereip:5800 through the web browser [22:53] last time (about a year ago) there was some scripting to be installed in blender so I didn't have the time [22:53] Grimer-> you can remove cupsd from the rc scripts.. maybe you can man update-rc.d [22:53] Grimer: what crashes? cups or everything? [22:53] Chase-san, Do you know what your wifi card is by any chance? It would show up if it was recognized, so it probably isn't recognized. I'm not too familiar with KDE though [22:53] somehting about python [22:53] adub: you know plain vnc isn't considered safe to leave open to the world.. it's just a password between the bad people and your server [22:54] i am attempting this now and the connection will just time out the server is up and i ran port scans but i am having no luck connecting [22:54] well... it crashes... simply... the boot process hangs [22:54] slart i realize this [22:54] riba1-> only if you dont have python, but python is normally installed stock [22:54] nemilar, I'm just making sure [22:54] i do not plan on leaving it open infinitely [22:54] Shall I publish and GPL a gutsy boottoRAM liveCD after I've built it? [22:54] they call with a computer problem [22:54] Grimer: do you have a printer connected? [22:54] bkb, Python has always come by default with Ubuntu [22:54] i have them turn it on then immediately turn it off when done [22:54] I mean, would that be a good thing to do? [22:54] bobbob1016: its a toshiba satalite (I know that tells you nothing), but the wireless is of realtek make [22:54] nops [22:54] Grimer-> boot into safe mode, and modify the /etc/init.d/ where it points to your cupsd [22:54] no [22:55] Nihilist_Nerd: if you create it, it's automatically GPL'd [22:55] nemilar: ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Invalid argument [22:55] Jordan_U-> i thought so to, I was just pointing it out to another user [22:55] adub: your parents run ubuntu? or is vnc installed on a windows-machine? [22:55] well... i gonna try this bkb [22:55] nemilar: okay, i'm not that familiarwith theasoftware licenses, but i'll take your word for it [22:55] so will it be helpful for me to dot hat? [22:55] windows machien i scanned and all the ports are showing filtered??? [22:55] so the port isnt showing open [22:55] i do not have a firewall ssetup this box is windows 2000 [22:56] Stepa2: you did something along the lines of 'mount -o loop isofile.iso directory/' ? [22:56] riba1-> oh yeah i can sort of recall, for latest maybe you need python 1.5 so you may need to upgrade [22:56] hi [22:56] thanks slart for helping me tackle this [22:56] Chase-san, Toshiba Satellite what model? That would tell me something, Toshiba Satellite tells me nothing specific, and realtek tells me a bit more, but I need the specific model number. Try google-ing "kubuntu (model number)", or "ubuntu (model number)" directions should be almost the same. [22:56] i wonder what is filtering the ports they do not have a home router [22:56] first time i am running irc from command line [22:56] nemilar: sudo mount -o loop minixpe.iso home/ubunut/Desktop/test [22:57] adub: personal firewall, maybe? [22:57] Stepa2: sounds like the ISO is bad [22:57] bobbob1016: hold on let me get you the info... [22:57] list [22:57] Stepa2-> you need to add -t iso9660 as an option to mount [22:57] Stepa2: yeah, give that a try [22:57] nope i know for a fact they do not have that [22:57] i installed all software on that computer service is bellsouth [22:58] bobbob1016: TOSHIBA Satellite A215-S5802 NoteBook AMD Mobile Athlon 64 X2 TK-57(1.90GHz) 15.4" Wide XGA 1GB DDR2 667 120GB 5400rpm DVD Super Multi ATI Radeon X1200 IGP, Wireless: 802.11b/g Wireless LAN [22:58] how would i stop the filtered port on a windows 2000 machine the isp is bellsouth [22:58] adub: hmm.. I don't see any settings that limit who can connect to it.. are you sure the vnc-server is running? [22:58] Stepa2-> you need to specify the file system type you are mounting unless it is ext2/ext3 [22:58] bkb: that worked [22:58] or reiserfs [22:58] Hey [22:58] yes [22:58] bkb: normally it will recognize most filesystems, as long as they are labeled properly and in good form [22:59] What is typical folder for Mozilla Firefox? [22:59] i port scanned it [22:59] Repentinus: folder for what? [22:59] Repentinus: personal files are kept in ~/.mozilla/firefox [22:59] bkb: where / how do i specify that? [22:59] I just installed flash player from within firefox plugin installer, but it won't work. [22:59] nemilar-> it would not recognize ramfs or squashfs or tmpfs per my experience [22:59] Chase-san, That isn't the wireless' model number. Try google-ing "Satellite A215-S5802 specs" or tech specs, it should list the chipset of the wifi. [22:59] bkb: true, those are specialty FS's ... it'll typically recognize an iso9660 fine, though [22:59] Stepa2-> options are the ones that start with - so in the middle [23:00] tigran-> which ubuntu version? [23:00] bkb: Gutsy [23:01] tigran-> you downloaded the tar.gz file? [23:01] bkb: No, from firefox, installing missing plugins [23:01] hey what are the advanteges of Ubuntu over Fedora? [23:01] I need onscreen keyboard using xfce start up under Ubuntu 7.10 but when I edit /etc/gdm/Init/Default i either freeze or the xfce login screen seems to be on top of the onboard screen and i can't use it [23:01] bkb: im using a live cd, what file system is that? [23:01] RasterBurner: they're different distrobutions is all [23:01] tigran-> okay , if you like to try, to what i did, download the tar.gz from adobe site [23:01] slart do you know what it could be obviously i dont think i could connect if the state of the port is filtered [23:02] RasterBurner: notable difference is that Ubuntu is debian based, and therefore uses APT, while fedora is redhat based and therefore uses RPM [23:02] Stepa2-> you have to tell us the whole scenario, we will give you wrong advise if you we assume different [23:02] bobo1016: hah yah sorry, it doesn't seem to get much more specific then, Realtek 54g wireless LAN [23:02] so ubuntu is a form of debian" [23:02] bkb: Then run the installer? [23:02] tigran nope, untar it and put the .so into ... [23:02] RasterBurner: Ubuntu is based off of Debian [23:02] Is sftp speed done in bytes or bits? [23:02] adub: it's hard to tell what might be wrong.. I'd start by using the tight-vnc client from a windows machine.. see if that works.. if that works I'd go on to a linux client [23:03] RasterBurner: there's loads of distrobutions out there, most of them are based off of a "parent" distrobution...the two most popular parents being Redhat and Debian....there's a timeline somewhere on the web if you're really interested [23:03] adub: but there could be lots of things going on with that windows-machine that I have no idea about [23:03] tigran-> put into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, you also have to create a ~/.mozilla/plugins/ and put a copy there too; kill firefox and restart it [23:03] brb: not sure on how far back you want me to go, but my windows system is damaged. I want to use mini.. to recover my files. I downloaded as rar parts, then it extracted as nrg, i converted to iso [23:04] slart you have a good point....im thinking i will have to figure out why the port is showing filtered could be some extra crap bellsouth puts on those modems who knows [23:04] Chase-san, I noticed that too. Try "Realtek 54g wireless lan ubuntu", that's all I'd do it if were my card. [23:04] nemilar: ok cool, so ubuntu - debian. fedora - redhat! makes sense. [23:04] adub: if the port is filtered.. just change it on the server.. there should be some kind of config-program for it [23:04] slart true im baffled there is no 3rd party software on the machine that give firewall capability [23:05] adub: doesn't windows 2000 sp4 come with a simple firewall? [23:05] Slart: it does [23:05] you know i think your right it does [23:05] i wonder where i would go in to disable that [23:05] Slart / adub : they added it in sp4 [23:05] i need help with alsa, uninstallation an reinstallation [23:05] adub: well.. in that abomination they call "control panel" I guess ;) [23:06] Chase-san, Try System-> Preferences-> Hardware Information [23:06] bkb: Thanks [23:06] bkb: That worked [23:06] slart ya its something in there i bet [23:06] Hi all. The problem I have is that Ubuntu will play some DVDs but not others. Actually I've found the same problem on 3 Ubuntu laptops, but not on Windows. I have done everything in the RestrictedFormats wiki page. What could be the difference between the discs? [23:07] tigran it worked for me [23:07] seanh: the only difference I know of is encrypted and unencrypted [23:07] Chase-san, You should be able to find your wireless there, even if Ubuntu won't see it. Are you dual-booting by any chance? If so, you should be able to find it in Vista's device manager. [23:07] eh? [23:07] seanh: but I'm no dvd-guru... it's quite possible I'm wrong [23:07] Slart -- hmm... they are all movie DVDs from a rental shop. Wouldn't they all be encrypted? Is there some way to tell by looking at the discs? [23:07] bobob1016: i'll try to translate that directory to kde [23:08] seanh, Try playing them with VLC, to the best of my knowledge, it doesn't care if the DVD is encrypted. [23:08] seanh: I have no idea [23:08] make sure libdvdcss2 is installed [23:08] is there any way to convince flash to not render on top of everything else (javascript menus, for example) [23:08] bobbob1016 -- actually I have tried all players. If a disc doesn't play, it doesn't play in *anything* [23:08] libdvdcss2 is required for encrypted dvd playback [23:08] orochi_ actually the error I get is that libdvdcss2 is not installed, but it definitely is [23:08] Chase-san, Oh, forgot you were on KDE for a second. If memory serves, try the Control Center. [23:09] i need help with alsa, uninstallation an reinstallation...i installed alsa 1.0.15 without uninstalling 1.0.14 and then installed1.0.16rcs.. then from synaptics reinstalled alsa 1.0.14 but now nothing works [23:09] seanh, Try using Quickstart to install the DVD codecs, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=613462&highlight=quickstart [23:10] bkb: did you get that?

[23:13] Chase-san, Try booting Vista if you are dual-booting, and getting it from the device manager there. [23:13] bkb: its on the same comp as i am now [23:14] my shell screen resolation isnt fine and so i added vga options to /boot/grub/menu.lst but it gave me an error for resolation when booting and shell isnt good fine again .. and i use wide screen (1280x768) what can i do? my menu.lst file:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54150/ [23:14] Stepa2-> and you are on liveCD now? [23:14] Jordan_U: not sure what you mean [23:14] bobbob1016: no, I deleted vista [23:14] Chase-san, You can start typing "bobbob1016" then hit tab, as in type "bob" and hit tab, I know that works in XChat, not sure about Kopete.

Welcome to #ubuntu! [23:16] bobbob1016: however once I get the wireless working ;) [23:16] Chase-san, Just saying, since I don't have XChat open all the time, and I might miss a response or two from you if you don't have my name correctly in it, since I don't get notified. I'm looking into where the device manager is. Did you try Restricted Drivers Manager? Not sure where it is on KDE, but it usually installs wifi. [23:16] can't get anything to work out for me over here :) 6.10LTS, I have /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and /etc/php5/cli/php.ini [23:17] dennisharrison: 6.10 isn't LTS ;D It's 6.06 :) [23:17] I have changed both of them to have upload_max_filesize to 20M instead of 2M [23:17] syntaxerror55, you got me there, its is 6.06 ;p [23:18] I /etc/init.d/apache2 restart and php is still whining about upload_max_filesize being set to 2M [23:18] Chase-san, I'd start my laptop running KDE, but it is running openSUSE with KDE, and they use YAST as a manager for pretty much everything, so don't think that'll help with Kubuntu. [23:18] how can you use well shell screen for 1280x768 resolution on ubuntu? [23:18] bobbob1016: Once I get this working I can debug all the other non-working things on it (like sound), but this is top proprity, nods [23:18] bobbob1016: quite alright [23:18] KingPython: i'm not sure i understand what you mean [23:18] Chase-san, Since this is a new-ish laptop, do you have the box by any chance? It might have the model listed on there [23:18] dennisharrison: Maybe #apache could help [23:18] my shell screen resolation isnt fine and so i added vga options to /boot/grub/menu.lst but it gave me an error for resolation when booting and shell isnt good fine again .. and i use wide screen (1280x768) what can i do? my menu.lst file:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54150/ [23:18] Hi, I need help on configuring my router to use ekiga [23:19] bobbob1016: found restricted drivers thing, 1 sec [23:19] KingPython: sorry, i've no idea [23:19] I even did a locate php.ini and changed every file to have 20M instead of 2M and restarted apache without using graceful, just to 'make sure' and still get the same php error, let me take this time to say that I really despise php in general, and ask if anyone knows what I am talking about :) [23:19] Chase-san, Try running "kde-hal-device-manager" if that doesn't work. I think you need to be online for Restricted Drivers manager to work. [23:19] hey how do i log in ass root [23:19] !root | Ironhand [23:19] Ironhand: 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 [23:19] i need to get permission of a ext hard drive [23:19] Ironman1: woops, that was directed towards you [23:20] I've already configured the ports to forward and they seem to be working using "nc" [23:20] bkb: I lost the window for a sec [23:20] Ironman1, sudoers, %wheel, love it :) [23:20] scientology.org is down \o/ [23:20] can you repeat from what i said lat [23:20] bobbob1016: kde-hal-device-manager is not installed [23:20] Ein2015: this isn't #xenu [23:20] nemilar, bkb, Many thanks for the assist.

[23:20] dennisharrison: strange to hear that you're having problems [23:21] Stepa2-> and you are on liveCD now? [23:21] dennisharrison: maybe you should check phpinfo() to see which config file that it is using [23:21] bkb: yes [23:21] dreamnid, good idea! where is phpinfo? ;p [23:21] bobbob1016: told me that my ati card has an avialable driver but its not enabled so I can't use it yet :P [23:21] hey dennisharris [23:21] how will sudo let me write to a ext hard drive [23:21] right now i dont have rights to it [23:22] dreamnid, I am only doing this for a sugarcrm upgrade and my first language was c++ and I moved into python and c# recently, so php is pretty foreign to me [23:22] dennisharrison: you just create a php file that just contains [23:22] Stepa2-> do you have another place to store data once you have the abilities to look at those xp data? [23:22] Chase-san, Sorry, I can't help much passed this. I know there are some terminal things you can do to figure out the model number, but I don't know them. [23:22] dreamnid, thank you very much! :) [23:22] http://pastebin.ca/885540 -- what would be the right directory for this? [23:22] bobbob1016: I can transfer files from this system to my laptop via usb [23:22] Ironman1:: [23:22] bkb: yes, i have another drive which i have access to even right now [23:22] dennisharrison: I think you are editing the right file though : /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini for me [23:22] Stepa2-> okay, then mount the xp partition [23:22] dreamnid, yes, that is why I am a 'leetle' confused :) [23:23] linchapulin u know? [23:23] Stepa2-> and also the destination drive/partition [23:23] bobbob1016: I will see if I can get kde-hal-device-manager, and use apt-zip [23:23] bkb [23:23] bkb: i cant, ubuntu will not be able to [23:23] Ironman1:: Sorry bout that...it is a file permissions problem that you have to correct with umask in your fsab file..I assume the external drive is ntfs/fat32? === LordMetroid is now known as Lrrrds [23:23] Stepa2-> what do you meant you can not? what did you do so far? [23:23] * linchapulin can't type tonight [23:23] although phpinfo might be easier to check to see if you're setting max file upload size === Lrrrds is now known as LordMetroid [23:23] no its a apple partition [23:23] Ironman1: I don't get what you're trying to do. What are you trying to write there? Are you trying to move something there? Copy something there? [23:23] Ironman1:: I meant *fstab* [23:24] dennisharrison: (sorry) although phpinfo might be easier to check to see if you're setting max file upload size [23:24] is there any sort of zune support in ubuntu? [23:24] bkb: i was on here yesterday and i tried doing that and someone said that my drive is damadged and only minixp will get it gixed [23:24] i need to copy a file to my ext hdd [23:24] !zune | ConstyXIV [23:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about zune - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:24] dennisharrison, You mentioned you use C#, you wouldn't have that working in Ubuntu by any chance, would you? I'm installing Visual Studio 2008 in a Virtual Box XP now, but I'd prefer via wine, not sure if you managed that. [23:24] ConstyXIV: Hmm. :| I'm not sure. [23:24] my gnome-panel doesn't show the applications in the background, what can i do? [23:24] bobbob1016, ???

[23:26] white_eagle_, Not everyone can choose when the professor says he wants to use C#. [23:26] mono [23:26] what do you mean, which proffesor, yours? [23:26] bobbob1016: he's obviously ill informed [23:26] dreamnid, ok, so somewhere in one of the additional .ini files it is being reset apparently, does that make sense? because I see it is parsing additional .ini files from apache2/conf.d [23:26] linchapulin, but i want to see the apps on the panel [23:26] why so hard nick bobbob1016 :) [23:27] dreamnid, is there a way to make sure that whatever I set in php.ini is going to 'stick' or will I have to go and find the offending file and update that as well>? [23:27] ... [23:27] what are you doing syntaxerror55 ? [23:27] edueb:: I understand...however I have never felt a need to delve into how to change the default way the panel is setup..sorry [23:27] white_eagle_: No version?

[23:28] dennisharrison: well.. there is a hiearchy... it looks in php.ini as sort of your base configuration. You can override them in your Apache config though [23:28] dreamnid, I should just be able to grep -i I guess eh? [23:28] Chase-san, And does it say what your wifi is? [23:28] white_eagle_: I was guessing you use some horrible IRC client without tab completion. [23:28] linchapulin, ok. do you think that erasing the gnome conf i can solve the problem? [23:28] dennisharrison: I think so [23:28] hello, [23:28] no I have tab completition [23:28] bobbob1016, you might also try asking in #kubuntu [23:28] I use it :0 [23:28] :) [23:28] Stepa2-> okay try, mount -o loop -t ntfs-3g /dev/hdbadpartition /mnt [23:28] my gnome desktop does not appear when I log in (i.e., my desktop is all black) [23:28] just type bob and tab [23:28] white_eagle_: then why'd you complain that bobbob1016's nick is hard? :D [23:28] how can I check where the problem is? [23:28] dennisharrison: admittedly, I never did this in Ubuntu so not sure if it does exist in one of those files [23:29] i'm having trouble hibernating on a fujitsu-siemens lifebook p7230. on the hcl, it's listed as working ok. i'm using the intel experimental modsetting graphics driver. i have more swap space than i have ram; i even have more empty swap space than i have ram. i see the hibernate icon in power options dialogue. however, when i click on it, i get a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left, and this persists for as long as i leave the compu [23:29] ter running. when i force a power-off, and turn it back on, i just get a normal startup. any ideas?

I only know Python. :B [23:29] edueb:: Probably an unwise choice..I would see the config file itself in your home folder and see if there is any comments in there on how to change the panel [23:29] Stepa2-> any result?

[23:32] dennisharrison: really? the default is 2MB, so you have changed to 6 MB at one point [23:32] dreamnid, haha .. check this out [23:32] dennisharrison: and it works on my end [23:32] Hey folks, I'm trying to run gSTM on startup so I decided to manually put it in the session preferences "Startup programs" list manually. This is all fine and dandy, but the program is supposed to goto the tray automatically on startup and hide itself when there's automatic tunnels to connect to which it does.

[23:41] dennisharrison, im looking at it, theres nothing about default resolution or similar.. [23:41] Ironman1 just do sudo passwd root, then you can set a root password and login as root from then on, but it is a bad idea [23:41] Ironman1: go back to vista [23:41] vista sucks [23:41] Ok now I have a completely different question: What does it mean when Ubuntu freezes and the caps lock and scroll lock LEDs are flashing? :P [23:41] !omfg | Ironman1 [23:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about omfg - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:41] !language | Ironman1 [23:41] Ironman1: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:41] all i want to do is drag and drop a file [23:41] dennisharrison: it's good idea for users who know what are they doing [23:41] erm... I need some help configuring my router to use ekiga [23:42] I have www.site.com/blah/file.zip , how do I make it so if someone goes to www.site.com/blah it will auto get www.site.com/blah/file.zip [23:42] totoro7: find out which port ekiga use it and open it in NAT [23:42] Uhh..yeah you think oli ;-) [23:42] Already did that [23:42] netcat can open ports ok [23:42] i tried that dennis but still still says something about admin cant log in [23:42] my ubuntu installer wants to mount my partition on '/' and it won't mount [23:42] oli, not really, root should only be used for single user mode to reset credentials during a hack or if you have remote kvm to do some system upgrades or kernel hacking... [23:42] Enron, ask in #apache, as its not really 'ubuntu' related [23:42] totoro7: tbh. this channel doesn't cover support for either ekiga nor your router :P [23:42] and external sources can access it without any problem. [23:42] just f.y.i. [23:42] oh, I see [23:42] Ironman1, well then that wasn't your problem [23:43] where should I seek help then? [23:43] totoro7: but if we can help.. [23:43] yay :D [23:43] hey im having issues with ktorrent, i moved all the files i was seeding, how do i get ktorrent to pick up this? [23:43] all i want to do is drag and drop a file on a ext hdd [23:43] hey, i have a windows system with a malfunctioning DVD drive, i wanna boot an OS from a usb drive [23:43] is the crazy [23:43] totoro7: well whats the problem then? [23:43] dennisharrison: hardcore users do everything as root... from a shell... without multiplexing :p [23:43] StrangeCharm_, lol yeah, no screen, no nothing ;p [23:43] totoro7: if netcat can open ports and outside sources can see it? [23:44] yes, that's correct [23:44] ports 5000-5100 [23:44] Ironman1, wtf are you trying to do? you have a usb hardrive and you want to mount it right? [23:44] dennisharrison: in my day, you had two ttys if you were lucky! [23:44] i remember once, that i downloaded a small application that i placed on a floppy disk and when i booted from the floppy disk it ran switch to the usb drive. anybody knows anything about that [23:44] Ironman1, used the provided tools to do so, go into your 'Computer' under Places, and then double click on the device, it will ask for your password [23:44] no i have a ext hard drive that i want to put a video on but i dont have permission [23:44] Ironhand: do you have the ntfs-3g driver? [23:44] Question: I'm trying to install ubuntu on my system for the first time. When I boot from the cd, downloaded from the ubuntu website, it boots from cd and gives me an options prompt. I've selected start ubuntu and start in graphics safe mode. In either mode, i get to the scrolling load bar, and then the graphics go nuts and it freezes. It then tells me to eject the disc, and boots into windows. Is there something i'm doing wrong? [23:45] StrangeCharm_, yeah .. if system had enough memory to support two tty's for your one user cause everyone and their mom had a shell :) [23:45] 5000-5100, 3478-3479 and 1720 are already forwarding ok, both TCP and UDP protocols [23:45] i can read but not write [23:45] Ironman1, is it ntfs? [23:45] and still, ekiga says I need to forward ports [23:45] no [23:45] Ironhand: look under Applications -> System tools for NTFS Configuration tools [23:45] Ironman1, what fat? [23:45] how do i boot the live cd from a usb drive [23:45] hfs [23:45] totoro7: oh I see... hmm [23:45] Ironman1, hfs? [23:45] hi,... I want to switch the Display with the Fn Key. This works only on a TTY but not on the xserver. The xorg.log tells my that (WW) RADEON(0): Option "BIOSHotkeys" is not used, but why? This works under Feisty 100%. What's wrong, is this option in the new driver disabled? (7.10, open radeon driver) [23:45] how do i boot the live "iso" from a usb drive [23:45] lqsilent: maybe your hardware is not supported [23:45] what is hfs vista? [23:46] apple [23:46] dennisharrison: you'd have considered yourself lucky if you had local backup store. and don't think of using ftp to save things. you'd better hope that you're dd-ing them onto the right device, with the right encoding [23:46] anybody gona help me [23:46] hey im having issues with ktorrent, i moved all the files i was seeding, how do i get ktorrent to pick up this? [23:46] lqsilent: try to run ubuntu in safe graphic mode or download the alternate CD [23:46] Darko3d, you cannot [23:46] bkb: u there? [23:47] StrangeCharm_, lol, wtf are you doing in #ubuntu? [23:47] When im configuring xserver-xorg, whats the keyboard command to enable a resolution in the video modes part? [23:47] hello [23:47] how come [23:47] Darko3d: google! use isolinux app (aka. syslinux) [23:47] bkb: I got disconected again for some reason [23:47] oli: my hardware is fairly standard. pentium 4 3.0ghz, fairly standard and slightly old gigabyte motherboard. [23:47] bkb: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54157/ [23:47] StrangeCharm_, like me you got tired of the 'free only if your freetime has no value' approach of slack/gentoo ? ;p [23:47] oli: i've tried the safe mode. i will try the alternate cd. [23:47] What is the cli application used if I want to get character codes? [23:47] i'll do that [23:47] I mean ubuntu isn't the end all be all... but damn if it isn't so sexy and stable for most stuff [23:47] totoro7: http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=35567025 [23:47] oli: i've checked https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SupportedHardware but there is little hardware information to be found. [23:48] is there another list of supported hardware? [23:48] When im configuring xserver-xorg, whats the keyboard command to enable a resolution in the video modes part? [23:48] I think its shift something..? [23:48] StrangeCharm_, funny that you mention dd actually, just got finished using rdiff over rync then dd to partitioned tap devices for a tape bot recently [23:48] lqsilent: imo alternate will work well [23:48] DjViper: Thanks, I'll take a look :D [23:48] lqsilent: it has to ;) [23:49] whats a good tool to check for open ports and sevices? [23:49] Stepa1-> two separate commands, mount and ls -la do not put them in one line, or separate them with ; [23:49] totoro7: np [23:49] dark03d do u wnt ubuntu on a pen drive or live cd? [23:49] dennisharrison: i'm just pretending that i know what i'm doing? no, i'm a lazy sod. ubuntu doesn't require work, so i use it, if it required work to use, i'd be installing one of them there hacked osx disks or maybe some xp [23:49] snorkel: netstat & nmap [23:49] never [23:49] dennisharrison: it is my firm opinion that xp is basically crack in os form [23:49] StrangeCharm_, no doubt, I have a hackintosh sitting right next to me [23:50] oli: thanks for the tip. i was hoping for a better solution, but i will take your advice. [23:50] Hmm.. I find the implication tht OS-X or XP dosent require work.. to be funny, [23:50] snorkel-> add lsof -i to that === pyrak__ is now known as pyrak [23:50] bkb: okay [23:50] bkb: ill do it again [23:50] StrangeCharm_, Dr_willis I find that ubuntu is the most complete OS by far [23:50] my monitor gives me 'no signal' after using ubuntu for like 10min (the time frame is usually within 30min). I am using fglrx (ati x1900xtx) and an LCD TV with dvi connection. What might be causing this? [23:50] bkb: just stay with me pleae [23:50] Do any of you run Ubuntu as your only OS on Mac laptops? [23:50] oli: my only concern is that if the installer won't run at all, is the operating system going to experience similar problems? [23:50] Stepa1-> you have to rush, cant wait for you [23:50] lqsilent: have you got any additional HW like tv cards or sth? [23:50] clearmark, honestly... why? just to feel the burn of cult pricing? [23:51] bkb: okay, ill try my best [23:51] you want to extract boot files from iso then Download extract-boot-files.zip [23:51] Extract and open readme for more instruction. and skip to step 4 [23:51] oli: i have a pci tv card installed [23:51] lqsilent: I think no, live cd often makes problem [23:51] bkb: im guessing its loading again [23:51] hello [23:51] salut [23:51] dennisharrison: I bought a mac a while ago. Now I discovered Ubuntu and want to get rid of proprietary sofware. [23:51] does anybody knows any tool like nero for creating and editing dvd menus? [23:51] lqsilent: yep, it can be reason of problem [23:52] oli: i'll try that too. thank you for your help again. [23:52] lqsilent: its good to take off additional hardware during the installation [23:52] yeahb [23:52] clearmark, it should 'just work' afaik ? [23:52] Stepa2-> okay try, mount -o loop -t ntfs-3g /dev/hdbadpartition /mnt in one line [23:52] Stepa1-> ls -la /mnt on another line [23:52] What does it mean when Ubuntu freezes and the caps lock and scroll lock LEDs are flashing? [23:52] dennisharrison: cool [23:52] back, pidgin crashed [23:52] Jouva: it's a kernel error : o [23:52] Oh fun. [23:53] That's what I thought :P Oh well [23:53] well, its not working, as it wont build correctly [23:53] Dr_willis: well, it's a perverse sort of thing really. see, on ubuntu, you can do everything that an os can do, everything that debian can do. however, even the simple things are difficult, though well-designed. on osx, you can do easy things easily and everthing else through the terminal. on windows, you can do some things, and -though none of them are easy or intuitive - they're all straightforward once you get the right doublethingk going [23:53] Jouva: have you compiled your own kernel? [23:53] Nope [23:53] How can i add a normal user to the group 'root'? [23:54] Jouva: when does it freeze? [23:54] This was the first time. About 15 minutes ago [23:54] bkb: got it [23:54] But I've only had this for a month [23:54] f0rtune: add them to the admin grouip, not the root group [23:54] But I DID add bttv recently into the modprobe config [23:54] But I loaded it the other day and it had no problems [23:54] Starnestommy: can i add hem to the root group? [23:54] them* [23:55] bkb: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54160/ [23:55] bttv can be very "temperamental" [23:55] both the whardware and drivers for it [23:55] f0rtune: there's no reason to [23:55] Jouva: if it doesn't repeat - f**k this : P [23:55] When im configuring xserver-xorg, whats the keyboard command to enable a resolution in the video modes part? [23:55] Yeah [23:55] I could always try ndis [23:55] Thanks though [23:55] Starnestommy: Can you just tell me how to, lol is that a problem? [23:55] DjViper: [23:55] Also, is there any way I can change the order of MANUALLY entered session startup applications? [23:55] bkb: do i still go through with ls -la /mnt [23:56] Stepa1-> just like what those folks yesterday advised you, you have a hard disk problem...use ultimate boot cd to do repairs, i dont know how to use them [23:56] totoro7: yes? [23:56] How can I add users to the 'root' group? [23:56] sorry, pressed enter by mistake [23:56] f0rtune: don't do that :) [23:56] totoro7: okay hehe [23:56] f0rtune: sudo adduser username groupname, but adding a user to that group probably won't have the desired results [23:56] hello can anyone help me install ubuntu? [23:56] :) [23:56] f0rtune, Why would you want to do that? [23:56] bkb: okay, do you know why i has having errors burning to cd? [23:56] When im configuring xserver-xorg, whats the keyboard command to enable a resolution in the video modes part? [23:56] dennisharrison: but i want *games* no, not those games, despite their enthralling gameplay, i want these *other* games for variously undisclosed reasons. also, a registry, i *love* the registry. i can't think of a more straightforward and bulletproof way to install and manage apps. individual conf files with distinctive but simplistic syntaxes? who needs them? let's put everything in one difficult-to-access place that humans can't understand witho [23:56] ut special training [23:56] dan4: space [23:57] its just a question guys, and thanks [23:57] Stepa1-> i dont know, [23:57] bkb: okay, thanks for your help [23:57] ha it seems realtek has a linux driver, i'll try that [23:58] hi all [23:58] ubuntu is not installing for me, the install just goes back to the partition mananger after waiting a bit [23:58] anyone uses evolution? [23:58] I can't sleep my T60 laptop, how can I fix that ? [23:58] hey ubuntu gutsy recocnizes alc880 but won't play sounds through the headphone jack i've changed the m9ixer settings should I restart what [23:58] can anyone hear me ?? [23:58] try mandriva [23:59] d_test: what's your problem? [23:59] or opensuse kde4.0 [23:59] ubuntu won't install [23:59] how do i create a sym link? [23:59] d_test: what happens? [23:59] i made the partitions [23:59] and everything went well [23:59] ferric84: ln -s file link [23:59] then i restarted ubuntu [23:59] so how do I fix my alsa problem [23:59] since the install icon stopped working for some reason [23:59] thanks
