[00:00] then, i clicked on the install icon, and it took me to the installer [00:00] k, i says manual partition method.. [00:00] i select my new partition [00:00] I keep setting the panel_minimized_size to 1 in gconf-editor but nothing's changing [00:00] anyone has enconding character problems in evolution? [00:01] i do all the steps, and when it goes to install, it just waits and then says couldn't mount '/' [00:01] d_test: did you make a partition that had '/' as a mount point? [00:01] yea, i did that [00:02] now, the install icon isn't working again :| [00:02] does anybody knows any tool like nero for creating and editing dvd menus? [00:02] WaY: nero fot linux? [00:02] * oli ducks [00:03] 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 [00:03] ter running. when i force a power-off, and turn it back on, i just get a normal startup. any ideas? [00:03] but i think that nero for linux doesnt create dvd menus [00:03] Hey -- anyone know why I keep seeing this randomly when using my browser? (but not when I am loading a site, it just pops up randomly when I'm not doing anything) http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/874/screenshotepiphanyxz5.png [00:03] Q: i just bought an Asus WL-160n usb wifi dongle and I want to get it working w/out ndiswrapper. I can't find any info on what chipset the card uses but I there are win/mac drivers available [00:04] just use ndiswrapper then [00:04] WaY: if nero and k3b can't - nothing can. === Grab is now known as funny === funny is now known as funny0 [00:05] when i put 4gb of ram in my box it gets super unstable [00:05] I know it cant address all of it, but should it get unstable/ [00:05] ? [00:05] prakriti: it's difficult to find data in so big amount of mem :> [00:05] I have a problem I need more space on my root partition (/) but i'm not sure how to resize the partition [00:05] heh [00:05] Juzzy` : boot off a live cd and run the partition editor [00:05] oli: im going to try qdvdauthor [00:05] ooh ok [00:06] thanks [00:06] Juzzy: use gparted [00:06] can i use gparted without using live cd? [00:06] cause livecd doesn't like my laptop [00:06] Juzzy`: sure [00:06] Juzzy`: not on / [00:06] thats what I thought [00:06] since its mounted [00:07] i'll give the livecd a shot [00:07] bbl [00:07] thx guys [00:08] can i install ubuntu without booting live? [00:09] d_test: use alternate cd [00:09] I've been trying to setup Samba, but I have no been able to see the Ubuntu computer from my Windows or vice versa. [00:10] Help would be appreciated :) [00:10] simps: is the samba server on your windows workgroup or vice-versa [00:11] on Ubuntu [00:11] If someone could take a look at this and tell me what size I should make the Linux exchange, I would be greatful: http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/8850/supmortomesin2.jpg [00:11] no, like is it set-up for use in your windows workgroup [00:12] d_test, I'm not totally sure if I did it right. I just went to System->Administration->Shared Folders, installed the stuff there, and added a folder [00:12] i think you need to setup the workgroup settings [00:12] d_test, could you explain how i would do that? [00:13] uhh, i did it in fedora 6 :/ [00:13] :s [00:13] its different, since they had a nice GUI settings thing [00:13] WillOne: 10GB would be more than adequate, depends on how many files you want to store in the linux partition [00:13] Hi, I have a rather unusual question [00:14] Sneakernets, Those are the best kind :) [00:14] d_test, do you think the terminology of setting up the workgroup would be the same? could you tell me a few of the things you saw in the GUI that i might be able to locate on Ubuntu :P [00:14] I am trying to run Chocolate doom ( http://www.chocolate-doom.org ) and I'm having problems setting 320x200 and when I set 320x240 all I get is garbled horizontal bars. [00:14] my chipset is SiS SUPER AGPSET [00:14] for some reason my laptop screen won't go idle/sleep even though I have it set to go to sleep after 2 minutes. anyone got any suggestions? [00:15] i have a wine question but nobody in the wine irc wants to answer it and people in the ubuntu one are generably very knowledgeable [00:15] simps: it was in system>settings>administration>samba conf [00:15] alright, i have a decent understanding of both how wine works and also the windows registry, would there be a way to import the wine registry keys and neccesary files to a windows install on a seperate partition and thus run apps already installed on that partition. I think it's theoretically possible but what would be the methodology required [00:15] Sneakernets: is there a specific need to run chocolate-doom? there are many other doom ports [00:15] and my monitor is a Gateway FPD2185W LCD 1680x1050 [00:15] woz: do you have an optical mouse? [00:15] dystopianray: yes, it emulates vanilla as closely as possible [00:15] I have an odd problem with my USB headset. [00:15] @soundray: yes [00:16] cellofellow: you and everyone else. [00:16] that and I am a tester for it: I usually don't have this issue but with this computer I am [00:16] anyone running fglrx using the manual install method? [00:16] I'm having an issue that when X starts, I just get a blank screen and it hangs [00:16] Sneakernets: I'd recommend prboom, it matches vanilla doom quite closely [00:16] !anyone | jereme_ [00:16] jereme_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [00:16] if i have my partitions setup already, whats the easiest way to use it? [00:16] woz: it may be sending spurious movement signals. Try unplugging it. If that works, plug it back in, but turn it on its back. [00:16] i suspect that my xorg driver isn't working [00:16] I can't find any info on my chipset [00:16] @soundray: thanks ill try that [00:16] My nvidia hda-intel sound card doesn't work, so I have a USB headset. It works, but the only mixer that can set the volume correctly is alsamixer. The gnome stuff doesn't work, and the volume buttons on the headset. Both just send the volume into randome places. [00:17] well it was part of my question [00:17] Does anyone know of a good software package for a high school student to use as an algebra tutor? [00:17] Sneakernets: most recent drivers don't support these low resolutions well [00:17] is there a program I can use to ident my chipset and set xorg settings automatically? [00:17] I was narrowing the results of my query by eliminating anyone who wouldn't have relevant experience [00:17] realityiswhere: I was explaining, ok? Sorry if I was too vague. [00:17] soundray: that's not good :( [00:17] ubotu: I wondered that too ... why people are so polite, but imagine when everyon in #ubuntu would reply to "Hello! Can someone help me" ? [00:18] jeroenimo: ubotu is a bot ;) [00:18] ubotu: is a bot [00:18] Yes, I can confirm that I am a bot. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots for all information. [00:18] cellofellow: if you go into System, Preferences, Sound, it'll show you the default mixer tracks controlled by your volume buttons [00:18] Pici: I saw it after I whoised :P [00:18] The headset is a Logitech Premium 350 which works just by the standard USB plug-and-play soundcard stuff. [00:18] realityiswhere: ok, I've messed with that already though. Let me see what I have set ATM. [00:18] alright, i have a decent understanding of both how wine works and also the windows registry, would there be a way to import the wine registry keys and neccesary files to a windows install on a seperate partition and thus run apps already installed on that partition. I think it's theoretically possible but what would be the methodology required [00:18] cellofellow: it should be set to PCM [00:18] hello [00:18] hope you can help me: i need to open port 828, what is the right command?

[00:21] tyranos, sounds to me like its rembering its last opened size. and not reseting it when you close the window. [00:21] realityiswhere: MCP51 High Definition Audio with STAC9200 "codec". [00:21] tyranos: I use this alias: alias ge-nautilus='nautilus --browser "`pwd`" &' [00:21] realityiswhere: I do. [00:22] dystopianray: so it is! yay, thanks. [00:22] hi everyone [00:22] I need to talk to the maintainer of chocodoom and see if we can get it submitted to the ubuntu repos when the testing is finished [00:22] cellofellow: Have you tried any of the supposed fixed editing the alsa-base conf file? [00:22] cellofellow: fixes* [00:22] so i have a 300 gig HD and 100 gig are already partitioned for windows and i have my second partition with 215 GIGs for ubuntu.... now i am doing it manually and how should i split the rest of the 215 Gigs up for ubuntu.. should it all be ext3 or some ext2 and what about swap... i have 2 gig ram if that matters [00:23] realityiswhere: haven't heard that one yet. [00:23] cellofellow: one moment [00:23] @soundray: that still doesn't turn the display off [00:23] * cellofellow is sort of banking on Hardy fixing lots of stuff. [00:23] I'm now installing the ubuntu-alternate, and it seems to be stuck on 18% for quite a while, during the "Selecting and installing software" - is this a known issue? === PU658 is now known as mustafa-tr === mustafa-tr is now known as mustafa- [00:23] mykas0: are you installing on a laptop? [00:23] hey how do I run the make file in the alsa driver [00:23] Yasumoto, nope [00:23] Is everyone's xchat working properly? (as in Ctrl+X doesn't try to close it) [00:23] I'm installing in text mode [00:23] telee, no need to use ext2, how to do it - depends onyour needs. You may want to put a little swap partition. (like 512mb) at the end just in case you ever need swap. [00:24] Dr_willis, i dont think so , i got that same answer from someone else months ago , but i m pretty sure it s not the case , and how can it remember some size it was never set to :( !!! [00:24] mm anyone knows in what repo 'ldap account manager' is in ? [00:24] woz: do you use the inhibit applet? [00:24] mykas0: did you do the "check CD for errors" check before installing? [00:24] My printer isn't printing, when i hit "print" any ideas ? [00:24] yasumoto how do I run the make file in the alsa driver its not a bash scrip [00:24] Yasumoto, yes, I did [00:24] @soundray: whats that? [00:24] Dr_Willis: so basically ill just use it as a desktop and mythtv [00:24] tyranos, ive seen cases where its happened. But i rarely use the gnome file manager much. [00:24] what do u use ?? [00:24] mykas0: hm, interesting. have you tried to run it again? [00:25] exneo, have you tried ./configure first? [00:25] Yasumoto, it's my second time attempting this installion - before, I had the very same problem [00:25] telee, for mythtv you might want to have a large partition set for /mythtv or for your recordings directory then. the #mythbuntu guys will proberly be able to guide you. [00:25] cellofellow: is it a dell inspiron laptop by any chance? [00:25] tyranos, i tend to use mc in a terminal :) [00:25] No, gateway. [00:25] woz: it's a gnome applet that you can use to disable screensaving -- e.g. when you're watching a movie. I thought you might have set it to inhibit-mode inadvertently [00:25] realityiswhere: Gateway MT3423 [00:25] mykas0: darn :/ I tried to install on my mother's laptop and it would hang at 57% each time [00:25] @soundray: any way for me to check that? i.e. a config file [00:25] how did you fixed it? [00:25] mykas0: turned out it was a bad hard drive [00:26] so Dr_willis thanks [00:26] woz: not really -- you would probably know if you had it on your panel [00:26] hum, that can't happen here - I tried installing it in a virtual machine too, and had the same problem [00:26] mykas0: try searching launchpad or the forums for "installer hangs" [00:27] cellofellow: try a 'sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base', should open a config file [00:27] soundray: is it possible that folding@home or pidgin is preventing it from going to idle? [00:27] hey [00:27] i ave a quenstion [00:27] woz: I'd say that's unlikely [00:27] i am using firefox 3.0 gran paradiso [00:27] realityiswhere: got it [00:27] soundray: ive tried killing both of those apps and unplugging the mouse to no avail. [00:27] http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/NSS_3_11_RTM/ i şnstalled nss 3.11 [00:28] mykas0: (i would check but I [00:28] but how can i work nss 3.11 [00:28] mykas0: *i'm in class right now) [00:28] I accidentally deleted something with shift+del, is there any way to get the stuff back?? [00:28] ok [00:28] hellues, is firefox 3 better and the acid test the 2.0? [00:28] hi guys, managed to get gparted open but it won't let me resize the partition [00:28] cellofellow: try adding 'options snd-hda-intel model=5stack' in with the other "options" lines, underneath of the last one. [00:28] Strangework: restore from backup, otherwise no [00:28] DAMN! [00:28] ah well. thank you anyways [00:29] i dont know [00:29] juzzy:is there a lock icon next to the partition u want to resize? [00:29] woz: and you haven't got a second pointing device, like a trackpad or tablet? [00:29] realityiswhere: now what? [00:29] cellofellow: you will unfortunately have to restart in order to see if it worked, after you save the file. [00:29] what is acid test [00:29] can anyone help me, then? :\ [00:29] yes shaark [00:29] soundray: only the touchpad on my laptop [00:29] woz: ah [00:29] dirkg3nt1y, what is acid test [00:29] Juzzy: that partition is in use then u can't resize it [00:29] i've tried unmouning the partition and then doing it [00:29] realityiswhere: actually, this file is really messy (I shink asoundconf has something to do with that.) Where can I get a clean one? [00:29] but it still won't allow me [00:30] woz: try installing gsynaptics and disabling the trackpad. You have to make a modification to /etc/X11/xorg.conf for it to work [00:30] http://www.webstandards.org/action/acid2/ hellues [00:30] Juzzy: did u try it from the live cd? [00:30] yup thats what i'm using now [00:30] woz: I mean touchpad === debaser_ is now known as Shinobi [00:30] live cd (with the safe mode gfx) [00:30] soundray: alright [00:30] Juzzy: try downloading the gpartd live cd that should work [00:30] cellofellow: everyone's is quite messy, I assure you. it's best not to alter it [00:31] shaark: I could probably just redo my linux install but i don't wanna mess up grub [00:31] soundray: alright i installed gsynaptics and now im in the xorg.conf file, what should i edit [00:31] Juzzy: just try the gpartd live cd that should solve it and its a small download too [00:31] realityiswhere: I restarted alsasound and alsa-utils with init.d, and I now have no sound. [00:32] realityiswhere: I think if I tell to use my headset again it'll be fine. [00:32] hellues, the acid test tests how well a browser sticks to web standards: http://www.webstandards.org/files/acid2/test.html [00:32] i have just edited /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, do i have to reboot to load the blacklist? [00:32] shaark: If I used the text-based installer cd would I be able to resize the partition there and reinstall ubuntu onto it? [00:32] heh [00:32] http://www.webstandards.org/files/acid2/test.html#top [00:32] osotogari: yeah, but you can just do 'sudo modprobe [module name]' and it will load it [00:32] whats this [00:32] :D [00:32] osotogari: then you don't need to reboot [00:33] Juzzy: sorry haven't tried that before [00:33] k [00:33] realityiswhere: uh oh. My headset isn't in `asoundconf list` anymore. [00:33] it is a face of cat [00:33] muhshshshhshs [00:33] but i thought blacklist is to stop drivers from loading? [00:33] Juzzy`: yeah you can resize partitions using the text-based installer... but I hope you are very comfortable with the command line [00:33] what does that mean [00:33] cellofellow: you can try replacing the model=5stack with some other options, there are a lot of them. [00:33] hellues, it means firefox 3 is a hell of a lot better the firefox 2 [00:33] !ohmy [00:33] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:34] realityiswhere: never mind, just replugging it it helped. [00:34] osotogari, if a module is in the blacklist file - it wont automatically get loaded. You can still manually load it. I belive. [00:34] cellofellow: hehe, good. [00:34] firefox 3 better then 2 [00:34] hmm [00:34] soundray: any idea what lines to edit on xorg.conf? [00:34] hellues: it's still in beta though... on my install it is not stable at all. [00:34] ls [00:34] does anybody know how to install the wacom tablets...i tried doing it the usual way but x always messes up...whats the new setup anyone have any clues?? [00:34] I saw a video a while ago were when you open a window it goes up in flames, does anyone know what thats called ? [00:34] Talon: that's compiz [00:34] !compiz [00:34] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [00:35] OHh, so its built into that i gotta enable that some how :) [00:35] realityiswhere: I'm not to interested in getting the nvidia card working right away. I bet a clean install of Hardy will do more good than all this fiddling. I just can't figure out why only alsamixer can set the volume of this card properly. [00:35] the whole xorg.conf file has changed....so im thinking maybe the setup of wacom tablets have changed too...does anyone have any clue whats going on?? [00:35] @ Dr. Willis: Ok, what if it is already loaded, say the garmin_gps module has been black listed. Do I have to restart to prevent this from being loaded or can I reload my modules without a restart? [00:35] Talon: correct, read the links above [00:35] anyone know at all? [00:35] osotogari: rmmod is the command to remove a module [00:35] this cat is smiling in opera to [00:35] :D [00:35] realityiswhere: I mean the USB headset, not the nvidia hda card. (That seems to mix fine, just not play one peep.) [00:36] hellues: opera has the best standards-compliancy of all the browsers [00:36] @nemilar: thanks :) [00:36] hey, I'm trying to decide between ubuntu server edition or desktop edition.. I do plan to run an AMP setup on it, however, I also need some desktop stuff.. which way to go? [00:36] osotogari: welcome [00:36] cellofellow: I have a plantronics USB headset I could never get working properly either. The audio was fine, but recording never worked. [00:36] Wiredtape_Away: desktop can run all the LAMP stuff just fine [00:36] nemilar, so what's special about the server edition? [00:36] Wiredtape_Away: if you need the desktop stuff, install the desktop version [00:36] Printer not printing, and google isn't helping [00:37] woz: add this line to the InputDevice section that pertains to your touchpad: Option "SHMConfig" "true" [00:37] Wiredtape_Away: it's got less bulk, none of the desktop apps like openoffice.org [00:37] woz: you will have to restart X [00:37] soundray: k [00:37] nemilar, i cant use flash plugin in opera [00:37] hellues: that makes two of us [00:37] realityiswhere: my problem is using the GNOME mixer, the volume buttons on my keyboard, or the volume buttons on the headse (which are hard to avoid hitting) are sporadic. Pushing up will cause the volume will go up and down, randomly muting and unmuting the left earphone. [00:37] nemilar, ok, thanks! [00:37] althrough i installed flash plugin [00:37] realityiswhere: only alsamixer works, which is a bit annoying. [00:37] Wiredtape_Away: welcome [00:38] while installing i asks for mozilla but not ask for opera [00:38] .D [00:38] soundray: what will SHMConfig = true do to my touchpad? [00:39] woz_: it needs to be set to activate the configuration interface to your touchpad that gsynaptics uses [00:39] hello [00:39] soundray: alright, restarting [00:40] it got quiet all of a sudden [00:40] sudo apt-get install VLC [00:40] is that the way I should do that? [00:40] yeah really [00:40] If I want to get VLC? [00:40] emma: yup, that works [00:40] i new, so I installed ubuntu 6.06. Is there a gui already installed or do I have to get one? [00:40] realityiswhere: on a side note, do you know how ESD works? Does it make it so that more than one or two programs can make sound at once? [00:40] emma: lowercase vlc [00:40] cellofellow: that is really odd. Your default mixer is set to the usb headset and it won't change the volume that way? [00:40] emma: I donno if it's case sensitive though [00:40] realityiswhere: it will, just sporadically. [00:40] spithra: Ubuntu comes with Gnome, a desktop environment (GUI) [00:41] I want to get somethign that will open the live video here -- http://www.cnn.com/ [00:41] @soundray: alright now that ive restarted, what should i try? or should i just see if it will sleep now [00:41] cause im just prompt with cammand line [00:42] cellofellow: pulseaudio is actually supposed to do the same thing as ESD, only better [00:42] soundray: alright now that ive restarted, what should i try? or should i just see if it will sleep now [00:42] I"m back anybody need some help with anything linux/software related [00:42] woz_: have a bit of patience before you repeat [00:42] hahahahaha holy crap what just happened? I have compiz installed, and I just saw my xchat network tree fly by for no reason at all... [00:42] soundray: hmm? [00:42] emma, cnn uses a proprietary plugin to stream teh video which has no linux equivilent [00:42] woz_: start gsynaptics and disable the touchpad [00:42] spithra: what was your question again? [00:43] phuzion: it's called lag [00:43] run a gui [00:43] Flare183, I might. .I need to be able to watch the republican debate on www.cnn.com [00:43] Hi. I'm trying to configure tikiwiki, using database setup with dbconfig-common. However, The configuration keeps trying to setup the database without asking me for the database administration password. Is there some option to dbconfig-common I have missed to set? [00:43] realityiswhere: well, there are (correct me if I'm wrong) like four high-level sound API's: jack, esd, arts, and pulseaudio. And so few programs seem to actually support them. [00:43] spithra: gnome will startup automatically [00:43] soundray: i didnt know if putting @ in front of the name showed up as a message for you. beginner with xchat. [00:43] emma: ok does it use flash or what one sec i look [00:43] Flare183, I don't think so, my system runs fine, C2D E4500 with 2GB of RAM and a GeForce 8600 GTS [00:44] k, im seriously mad at this installer.. [00:44] it won't work! [00:44] phuzion: no internet lag [00:44] phuzion: network lag [00:44] as in internet lag [00:44] nemilar> it doesnt [00:44] woz_: whether or not it highlights is a function of my IRC client, not yours... [00:44] it just disapears after a while [00:44] soundray: ahh ok [00:45] soundray: alright im gonna give it a shot [00:45] emma: ok i'm on the cnn.com's site [00:45] hey [00:45] realityiswhere: I wish there was an X11 extension for sound, or something like that. Any X11 (or GTK or OpenGL) program could then use it. [00:45] Flare183 and bazhang you guys know what I'm talking about, the network tree, where it shows what networks and channels you are talking about, right? that shouldn't be affected by network lag [00:45] cellofellow: ossv4 is actually worth looking into as well [00:45] Flare183, cool. I hope to be able to watch the debate. So I can see Ron Paul. [00:45] realityiswhere: oh, I forgot about OpenAL for games too. [00:45] cellofellow: i used it instead of ALSA for a while when i was running into the same problems you are now. [00:45] * cellofellow gives emma a high-five! [00:45] oftopic emma [00:45] :D [00:46] phuzion: oh yeah I know [00:46] how can I install a python module using easy_install, without setpping on ubuntu's package manager files? [00:46] :) [00:46] can anyone guide me to install ubuntu?! [00:46] !install | d_test [00:46] d_test: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [00:46] hi, I screwed up and removed udev instead of rewriting it with the apt-get remove command [00:46] realityiswhere: I also have some problems with OSS emulation. How the heck do I configure that?

[00:47] I'm now installing the ubuntu-alternate, and it seems to be stuck on 18% for quite a while, during the "Selecting and installing software" - is this a known issue? [00:47] anyone know how I can reload it from the disk? [00:47] cellofellow: i was never any good with regular OSS sorry :( [00:47] Flare183: not there [00:47] emma: don't know yet seems that it is "incompatible right now [00:47] mykas0: no, it probably means that your burn failed [00:47] realityiswhere: I need for a couple of programs, like I would really like to be able to use Audacity to record both input and output without regard for device. [00:47] it just disappears after a while [00:47] ohoh [00:47] d_test: what do you mean the entire this is the guide [00:47] very, very annoying [00:47] realityiswhere: oh, well. [00:48] soundray, I tried using the ISO by itself, in a Virtual Machine, and it doesn't work either. I also checked for errors, and it displays none [00:48] soundray: display still stays on [00:48] the installer says, installing system, then just closes after a while [00:48] hey people [00:48] realityiswhere: As far as I know, OSS emulation is a part of ALSA where stuff going through /dev/dsp is routed through ALSA instead of directly through OSS. [00:48] i just installed ubuntu [00:48] woz_: sorry I can't seem to help [00:48] and irssi [00:48] soundray: alright, thanks anyways [00:49] Why won't my display go to sleep after 2 minutes? [00:49] cellofellow: do you have the alsa-oss wrapper package? [00:49] anyone know how to reload the kernel from the disk without having to re-install? [00:49] arg, this sure is a huge problem ;___; [00:49] emma: it can be done through wine and a windows browser [00:49] realityiswhere: great call [00:49] Hm... Wine! [00:49] Okay.. hmmmm. [00:49] cellofellow: that may solve some issues hehe [00:50] a windows browser though.. [00:50] [Stupid Question] whats the default '' button ? [00:50] So wine and IE? [00:50] Talon: the windows key between control and alt [00:50] Thanks mate [00:50] hey whenever i hit ctrl-alt-backspace or logout everything goes away except for the wallpaper and it freezes, what can i don to correct this? [00:50] zed_ : reload the kernel in what respect? [00:50] do* [00:50] anyone seen the issues with the rt61 wireless PCI driver? [00:50] zed_: you want to reinstall the kernel .deb package? [00:50] don't know if i should ask this but does anyone know of a good torrent program for ubuntu? [00:50] I want to reinstall the udev package [00:51] eric: deluge, transmission, azureus [00:51] eric transmisson [00:51] I think it took the kernel with it [00:51] i thought transmission was for mac os x only/ [00:51] ? [00:51] sry transmission, its my favorite [00:51] i compiled the module and installed it, i even blacklisted my old one now when i reboot it shows 0% strength on all available networks [00:51] eric: it's in the repos [00:51] so now I can't boot [00:51] nice thanks realityiswhere. [00:51] would reinstalling GDM packages solve my problem? [00:51] I do have wine installed, but how do I load IE (from my windows partition) through Wine? [00:51] zed_: did you uninstall udev? [00:51] yes [00:52] I screwed up [00:52] zed_: can you boot from a live CD? [00:52] there right now [00:52] nugz1212: probably a bad X.Org configuration. [00:52] no its not tht [00:52] zed_: where does it get to in the boot sequence? [00:52] error 15 [00:52] nothing else [00:52] alright. i'm gonna go on my mac. brb. [00:52] emma: in the program files folder [00:52] can anyone help me out with my wireless connection? it seems to drop out every 5 or 10 minutes.... really frustrating, WPA ASCII key, DLink router, Linksys Nic, 802.11G [00:52] zed_: can you mount the root partition? [00:52] emma: got that? [00:52] default xorg.conf does the same thing, and ive tried many kernels all with same problems [00:52] Flare183, you mean the wine program files? [00:53] I think so [00:53] I only have one program in there. [00:53] emma: you could either try to mount the windows partition and make that work by jsut running the binaries but that has problems with registry inconsistancies generall, i recomend just downloading the windows version of firefox or opera in linux and install it onto your wine psuedo-install and then install flashplayer [00:53] zed_: is that grub error 15? [00:53] How do I include IE as one of the files in my Wine program files? [00:53] emma: yeah either that or windows's partition's program files (if applicatable) [00:53] yes [00:53] Okay I'll download the windows firefox. [00:53] ok [00:53] I'm not sure how do I get wine to execute it though if you get me. [00:54] Where am I supposed to save windows firefox too? [00:54] I'm now installing the ubuntu-alternate, and it seems to be stuck on 18% for quite a while, during the "Selecting and installing software". What should I do, if I'm using an ISO and it has no errors? [00:54] yeah ubuntu will actually run the exe installer by default [00:54] emma: your desktop works [00:54] I have a novel question(I hope). with windows xp, much past 2 gigs of ram windows doesnt make any use of it. what about ubuntu? [00:54] emma: anywhere because it's a self-extracting cabinent that will extract by default onto your wine drive [00:54] Does anyone know if can make moblock run only on one interface? [00:55] <^Elfboy> i was woundering if i insrall the server pac do i have to hook up a monater and all tha [00:55] quenstion [00:55] Okay that sounds promising [00:55] what is dom inspector [00:55] emma: it's the same process as installing an app in windows [00:55] <^Elfboy> or can i set up in ssh [00:55] emma: look into ie4linux, it does it all for you. [00:55] ThreeFingerPete: if you have a 64bit CPU (e.g. Core 2 Duo), you can install the amd64 version of Ubuntu and use RAM up to a few terabytes [00:55] ThreeFingerPete: use 64bit release [00:55] firefox-3.0-dom-inspector [00:55] what is dom-inspector [00:55] says it cannot be done [00:55] :D [00:56] says there is no suitable thing to open firefoxsetup .exe [00:56] is there an equivalent of pidgin-rhythmbox for vlc? [00:56] ThreeFingerPete: the i386 version has the same issue -- it's an addressing problem. [00:56] <^Elfboy> i was woundering if i insrall the server pac do i have to hook up a monater and all that do i have to pulug in monater mouse and k-bore? [00:56] soundray: thank you. so I could actually emulate a swap in the remaining ram? [00:57] The_entropy: however, just like 64-bit XP, some things cannot be used on 64-bit Ubuntu. From the soudn of things, you're using 32bit XP [00:57] ThreeFingerPete: no [00:57] hello, i have a question about the how to install off of a flash drive tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [00:57] What would cause a random application to exit on Ctrl+X? [00:57] soundray: thanks. I was thinking I could because the bios detects it [00:57] emma: go to a command line and type wine "/path/to/firefox.exe" [00:57] <^Elfboy> i was woundering if i insrall the server pac do i have to hook up a monater and all that do i have to pulug in monater mouse and k-bore? [00:57] ThreeFingerPete: the above was directed at you [00:57] dom-inspector [00:58] Jimmygoon, if ctrl+X is the shortcut for quitting. [00:58] about the preparing the Flash Drive with isotostick.sh, im not fully clear on how to do that part, i downloaded the files it links to but dont know where to go from there [00:58] <^Elfboy> ???? [00:58] mouseboyx, no, and I'm the only person having trouble with this program - I'm having it in both the ubuntu version and compiled from src [00:58] how can I get "search pw.com" added to /etc/resolve.conf each time it gets created ? [00:58] syntaxerror55: that is correct, 32 bit xp [00:58] does anyone know if there's a program that can concatenate sound files? pcm wav? [00:59] ThreeFingerPete: such as: Flash won't work, and some other stuff. [00:59] <^Elfboy> i was woundering if i install the server pac do i have to hook up a monater and all that do i have to pulug in monater mouse and k-bore? [00:59] realityiswhere: I think to get ALSA OSS to work I need to get rid of real OSS. [00:59] syntaxerror55: whats that about flash?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [00:59] syntaxerror55, ThreeFingerPete: Adobe Flash plugin works fine on my 64bit machine [00:59] how do you make a file executable? [01:00] cellofellow: i believe that is true as well, it's a wrapper for OSS so it's still using alsa [01:00] somethig 666? [01:00] !flash64 | ThreeFingerPete [01:00] ThreeFingerPete: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [01:00] jack-desktop: bad number [01:00] realityiswhere: andy idea what to remove? [01:00] Didn't work. [01:00] soundray and syntax: flash plug in is fine on mine too [01:00] Flare183, do you know how? [01:00] emma: that's whack [01:00] soundray can I copy a initrd from the disk to the hd? [01:00] I have firefox.exe on my windows partition but I don't know how to point wine to it [01:00] soundray: I'm a bit behind on the times, then [01:00] ThreeFingerPete: but you haven't got a 64bit OS [01:00] jack-desktop: yeah use chmod [01:00] whats the new remote desktop program in hardy? [01:01] jack-desktop: check out man chmod [01:01] emma: wine /windows/path/to/firefox.exe [01:01] Flare183, what number? [01:01] jack-desktop: 777 [01:01] syntaxerror55: it's certainly not thanks to Adobe and their backwards support policy ;) [01:01] mouseboyx, I figured it out. I had dvorak keyboard installed BUT NOT IN USE... and when I disabled it the problem went away..... is ctrl some modfiied for "switch keyboard layout"? [01:01] jack-desktop: that means everyone can run it, read it and, write to it [01:01] soundray: it seems that way. [01:01] <^Elfboy> i was woundering if i install the server pac do i have to hook up a monater and all that do i have to pulug in monater mouse and k-bore? [01:01] emma: you may have to moung the windows partition too, but generally running in wine applications installed from a different windows install will lead to major problems because windows applications are tied to the registry and wine addresses it [01:01] zed_: no, but you can regenerate it -- hold on [01:01] emma: try opera then [01:02] Flare183, so: sudo chmod 777 ? [01:02] emma: it's own registry [01:02] soundray: Still, I don't recommend the AMD64, because other apps don't work that I can't remember as I've never used AMD64 Ubuntu, just seen people complain here. [01:02] jack-desktop: yeah.... [01:02] Well it just didn't work out . [01:02] emma: so it is better to install the app onto the wine psuedo-windows [01:02] hi, i need help with centrino platform wireless card [01:02] even if I unload the kernel when I ran apt-get remove udev? [01:02] The debate is starting so I have to switch over to Microsoft for tonight. [01:02] emma: ok i would still try wine's ie [01:03] cellofellow: maybe you don't. there seems to be no specific OSS package that doesn't also involve alsa [01:03] syntaxerror55, Basically, 99.999% of Open Source projects support 64 bit, the problems come from proprietary stuff [01:03] <^Elfboy> i was woundering if i install the server pac do i have to hook up a monater and all that do i have to pulug in monater mouse and k-bore? [01:03] emma, i might have missed something, but can't you use firefox in ubuntu? [01:03] emma: i just finished an ie4linux install, let me check if i can get cnn to work with it [01:03] Ok. [01:03] /join #ubuntu-cn [01:03] Jangari: no becuase the cnn site won't let her [01:03] zsnes dosent support 64bit - due to its use of assembly language in the code. :( [01:03] Jordan_U: that is necessary to using computers. [01:03] oh! [01:03] i know [01:03] syntaxerror55: it used to be a real issue. With gutsy, it still takes a bit of trickery, but everything so far has worked for me, including googleearth and skype, all owing to the work of the good Medibuntu people [01:03] !spam | ssf [01:03] soundray: by flash you mean shockwave games? youtube flv and things work just fine on my intel 32bit [01:03] www.cnn.com has a live stream that I can't get Ubuntu to work with.

[01:03] get that extension for firefox where you can make your browser appear as IE [01:03] soundray: ah, I'm still using Dapper. I'm sorry [01:03] thanks [01:04] no problem [01:04] if that is indeed the problem [01:04] Jangari, agent switcher? [01:04] I have been perusing some of the /usr/doc folders to create a batch of links to what I thought would be most of the in depth documentation for everything installed on my system. Why is it some folders only contain files that are .gz and don't really contain any meaningful information? [01:04] something like that, bruenig [01:04] syntaxerror55, No it's not. People ( mostly crazy, but people none the less ) get along with gnusense [01:04] syntaxerror55: what for ;) [01:04] hi people.. does anyone here understand about RAID to help me to configure Grub? [01:04] Jordan_U: ca?n 32 bit apps work on AMD64 [01:04] !raid [01:04] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [01:04] Jangari, but it may not be an agent problem [01:04] Can anyone else confirm a bug : When having another keyboard layout available (like Dvorak) even when not in use.... causes Ctrl+X to fire the event for Ctrl+Q etc?

Seems crazy to have to look at synaptic everytime I need to ferret out the docs?

[01:06] i have a problem with my windowlist [01:06] looks like cnn.com is using winows media player for its video. [01:06] Jordan_U: alright, I rest my case. but it did used to be a real issue. [01:06] i kicked the one that was in the panel after the fresh installation out [01:06] emma: i got an install of opera in wine working perfectly with the cnn live feed on linux [01:06] now i put one in the panel again.. thing is.. the windows don't appear as icon anymore, but more like a button [01:06] emma: it is definately doable [01:06] what is broken about flash? it works fine for me in gutsy [01:07] !flashissues [01:07] 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. [01:07] ThreeFingerPete, New installs are broken [01:07] I have succesfully used gparted to resize the partition, I have now rebooted into the ubuntu install and it shows the new size of the partition but it also still shows the same amount of free space left (like its automatically used up the space i gave it) [01:07] also.. if i klick on the button the window will not shrink into this button, like in the windows systray but instad falls down to the lower panel [01:07] <^Elfboy> why would u want to run opera in win === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [01:07] hello! i have some problems with my ubuntu, is Mark Shuttleworth for help me to fix it? I think, he is the guy behind ubuntu... [01:07] <^Elfboy> wine [01:07] Juzzy`: duh you must resize the other one too [01:07] Jordan_U, thanks. good thing I had it installed! [01:07] +here [01:07] how do i get the window list to be like the one it was after installation? [01:07] helping [01:07] other one? [01:07] holy cow [01:08] no, i guess only mark Shuttleworth is able to help me [01:08] <^Elfboy> i was woundering if i install the server pac do i have to hook up a monater and all that do i have to pulug in monater mouse and k-bore? [01:08] HE is THE ubuntu guy, right? [01:08] feierfox: yeap [01:08] well, thx anyway [01:08] feierfox: the main dude who started it all [01:08] feierfox: hes the patron of the ubuntu project [01:08] is anyone actually reading me? [01:08] so, i will wait for him for helping me with my problem [01:08] unicum, i can read you [01:08] <^Elfboy> lol [01:09] feierfox: dude i don't think i will even help you [01:09] Flare183, I have resized the / partition to 20gb, but it still shows the same amount of free space [01:09] <^Elfboy> i was woundering if i install the server pac do i have to hook up a monater and all that do i have to pulug in monater mouse and k-bore? [01:09] unicum, i see ya. but no idea what youa re talking about [01:09] Is there anything for reading pdf's from the command line? [01:09] k, so i'm not ignored by the channel [01:09] feierfox: no he will not be here to help you here [01:09] feierfox: I doubt he does the support lol [01:09] Juzzy`: try creating another partition then [01:09] well.. i'm using ubuntu/gnome [01:09] don care about a drunken german ;/ [01:09] Is there no way to have my GNOME panels show up on one workspace, but not on another? [01:09] unicum: nope, but i am a newb, and no help to you [01:09] u might know the panels (like taskbars) [01:09] unicum: move your window list around a bit. It may not have enough space [01:09] anyone in here know why RaLink RT2561/RT61 wireless is seeing 0% signal strength? [01:09] Good evening guys! I look into a site where it explained how to open docx (word2007) in openoffice but the link it had for convertor or so was dead. Is this the only way to do so far and is it reliable? thanks (the page was for use in ubuntu gusty) [01:09] admins: Kinda stupid question: is Mark Shuttleworth around to talk [01:09] i just installed the new rt61 driver [01:10] lol [01:10] <^Elfboy> i was woundering if i install the server pac do i have to hook up a monater and all that do i have to pulug in monater mouse and k-bore? [01:10] <^Elfboy> come one [01:10] <^Elfboy> some one had to know this [01:10] ^Elfboy, learn to spell, it helps people out [01:10] yeah really [01:10] Flare183, he's away atm. [01:10] soundray thing is.. the windowlist shows buttons instead of icons.. if i have only one window open the button is as big as the list itself.. if i have multiple windows open the buttons get smaller and smaller [01:10] K_Dallas: docx files open reasonably well in OOo 2.3 without any add-ons [01:10] PriceChild: that figures [01:10] does anyone here know about wireless? [01:11] ^Elfboy, you may want to fix all those typos.. Im not even sure what you are asking... [01:11] im having issues [01:11] soundray, well i give it a try. what about pptx ? [01:11] unicum, If you play with it it will eventualy work. [01:11] the "default window list" has icons for the windows and resizes itself with the number of windows [01:11] feierfox: see [01:11] soundray, syntax55 and others: thanks for your help. bye! [01:11] K_Dallas: haven't tried [01:11] oh nevermind [01:11] ThreeFingerPete: good luck [01:11] mouseboyx sure? like just playing with the size? [01:11] I don't know, set it back to the default? [01:11] does python easy_install interfere with dpkg? [01:12] soundray, i think pptx was more complicated but i try it again when i boot back to linux, thanks [01:12] there is no such option in the preferences [01:12] <^Elfboy> i i want to know if i need to plug in mon mouse k-board to set up the server pack [01:12] #kicevo [01:12] :) [01:12] as i said.. i deleted the old one [01:12] Is there an IDE for Ruby? [01:12] and then put in one from.. "add to panel" [01:12] old one what? [01:12] Window list? [01:12] anyone know how to enable the RaLink rt61 in ubuntu? [01:12] the windowlist that was in the panel after the fresh installation [01:12] yes [01:12] Try moving it around. [01:12] zed_: look into the update-initramfs command. You can run it in a chroot [01:13] Or rebooting unicum have you tried that? [01:13] #j kicevo [01:13] my comp is always shut down when i'm done [01:13] i reboot like a thousand times [01:13] ^Elfboy: you would have to plug in a mouse, keyboard and monitor to do the initial setup, yes. after that you can set up ssh tunnelling and then do it remotely.

[02:07] tehmass: medibuntu [02:07] ex-Microsoft User [02:07] xMS_user: haha awesome for you [02:07] That seems to only fade the windows, mabey i have an old version [02:07] xMS_user: bet that will teach you to back-up though [02:07] Talon, ah, you mean something else sorry [02:07] were is that? [02:07] Talon, you are talking about some 3D effect? [02:07] nemilar: hello?! dude i will back up my back ups! [02:07] Yes [02:07] has anyone tried the new ubuntu-ultimate? [02:07] donald_: were can i get that? [02:07] lol, backing up is vital [02:07] were the window in focus is actualy 'above' the desktop when in the cube mode [02:07] Carbonflux, its saying that it also wants to install python-compizconfig which is a package that can not be authenticated... i dont remember getting this message when installing the first time [02:07] Talon, I have never seen that one unless you mean the 3D windows plug-in, but that only works when your rotating the cube [02:08] Ok, I have this small problem with Compiz. I have the desktop cube running fine, but the tray at the bottom that shows open programs doesn't update until I have the selected face full screened, it stays the same as what I had open on the first face [02:08] Carbon, i will try and find an example its hard for me to explain hehe [02:08] singlesun, that sounds ok, it might just be unsupported, if its comming from a Ubuntu repo I doubt its malwarz [02:08] does anyone here use amule [02:08] dude, bk is like brushing your teeth, changing your under wears and Not flirting with your girl friend's ssiter [02:08] Carbonflux, reinstalled regardless of that warning... still fails to run from the "advanced settings" [02:08] !anyone [02:09] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [02:09] Talon, sounds nice, I would be interested in it myself [02:09] !anyone | adub [02:09] adub: please see above [02:09] Talon, quick question, any change you know how to get dapper to show my disk usage by folder/file? [02:09] singlesun, does it say anything when you type ccsm on the command line ? [02:09] tehmass: www.medibuntu.org [02:09] Carbonflux, one sec, checking [02:09] Carbonflux, yes.. i will send to you in PM [02:10] Sorry Steve, i only installed linux for the first time today , im to new at it to know that :D [02:10] Carbonflux, i just sent to you in PM the output from ccsm [02:10] singlesun, ya looks like a version mismatch with libxslt.so.1 [02:10] Talon, ah, haha [02:10] talon didn't i see you last week asking the same question? how is it that you JUST installed now? [02:11] Different Talon i guess [02:11] Carbonflux, the solution for this is? lol [02:11] Never had the balls enough to install it before today, but im glad i did [02:11] singlesun, it might be that lib got overwritten when you installed something new [02:11] * xMS_user starts laughing [02:11] talon i am just messing with you [02:11] :P [02:11] >.> That's not nice xMS_user [02:11] I sure to like it thoe ! [02:11] ext2 vs ext3? tell me the truth guys [02:11] Carbonflux, hmmm, how to revert to the old lib file... or overwrite the existing? [02:12] Talon, welcome to ubuntu [02:12] Thankyou :) [02:12] xMS_user, i dont see mucn need to use ext2 these days [02:12] ext3 is the path [02:12] RequinB4: dude i am happy as hell, wait..that doe snot sound right [02:12] singlesun, well, if it was me I would open the Synaptic package manager and look around for libxslt, I think its a XML parser for python [02:12] ext2 is faster but could be relatively dangerous [02:12] thank you Dr_willis [02:12] Carbon: did you get my pm ? [02:12] Carbonflux: Ubuntu won't "overwrite" it's own files unless a user does some weird ./install scripts of make install something [02:12] singlesun, you might be able to revert === neil__ is now known as coldboot|home [02:12] what would normally be in /dev/sda3 [02:12] ive not seen many benchmaks that show ext2 being that much faster these days., [02:12] lol, well i am not putting my backups there then! ext3 it is [02:12] donald_, its giving him a ImportError: /usr/lib/libxslt.so.1: undefined symbol: xmlNewDocPI when he tries to run ccsm [02:13] that looks like a version mismatch to me [02:13] TÜRK WARMI LAN BURDA [02:13] :D [02:13] Talon, I did not [02:13] hmm, then heres the link right here http://compiz.org/Image:3DPlugin.jpg [02:13] thats the effect i am trying to find [02:13] ah thanks :) [02:13] Carbonflux: has he installed something without using proper deb packages? or possible disk corruption? [02:13] donald_, thanks [02:13] donald_, that is my guess, he said he install some stuff to support python dev [02:14] singlesun, what python stuff did you install ? [02:14] Talon fuck you [02:14] :A [02:14] probably is negectible today. but at the inner level ext2 is faster it doesnñ t have the journal overhead [02:14] wth [02:14] Carbonflux: install using deb packages? [02:14] wtf did i do to you ? [02:14] Carbonflux, IDLE, and i think it wanted some updates for python.. etc.. and then did a small amount of messing around with it [02:15] !baobab [02:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about baobab - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:15] Talon, you need to install the 3D windows plugin, read this: http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=5303 [02:15] talon promise me something, no matter how hard it might get, stay open source. even if you leave ubuntu (but you sound like a reasonable guy) DO NOT go back to legacy [02:15] Thankyou Carbon [02:15] Talon: I removed him for that. Sorry he said that to you. [02:15] donald_, its singlesun that is having the problem [02:15] I wont go to legacy, cause i dont know what legacy is :P [02:16] tritium: y he'd say that [02:16] is IDLE a deb package ? [02:16] Talon, sudo apt-get install baobab if you ever want to do that. Found it in the forums. [02:16] im the type of guy that if it aint broke i aint gonna fix it and so far Ubuntu aint broke hehe [02:16] xMS_user: I have no idea [02:16] Talon: bill gates and steve jobs are legacy [02:16] Carbonflux, i just went "sudo apt-get install IDLE" [02:16] Ohh ok, well im using Windows XP on my desktop does that count as high treason ? [02:16] lets say i type "export AXISCPP_HOME=/usr/../../" how do i check whether it is actually set or not [02:16] singlesun, well, the error is the result of ccsm expecting a different version of libxslt [02:16] I accidentally ran python setup.py install on some python module, did I just screw up dpkg? [02:17] i made a bash file that does "sudo apt-get install $1" cuz i am lazy as hell [02:17] im having a error with mplayer.. iterrupted signal 6 module [02:17] singlesun, I would take a look in Synaptic package manager and see what you can find for that lib [02:17] singlesun, maybe you can revert, but that might break something else [02:17] trying to play a divx file. Any other method you guys suggest than with mplayer ? [02:17] Carbonflux, well i found libxslt1.1 in the synaptic [02:17] Apranax, why did you say fuck you to me what did i do this time :) [02:18] singlesun, does it show as being installed ? [02:18] Carbonflux, it says i have it installed... yes [02:18] Talon: no way! we still need windows on earth. but make the transition. i have a small pc with xp that manages my media. (damn media player 11 does not run in wine) [02:18] singlesun, you could try "reinstall" but again, it might break something [02:18] singlesun, does IDLE work etc ? [02:18] Carbonflux, lol well its already... broken.. so why not... lol [02:18] hey, ive never done ssh tunneling before... i heard it can be done to access a remote samba service? [02:18] apranax is not here [02:18] The only reason i use Windows XP is to code my stuff and to play SWG really, i could live without it [02:18] Whats a good way to go about playing divx codec movies? [02:18] you heard talon, he left [02:18] Talon: don't repeat the foul language, please. [02:18] Carbonflux, yeah idle still works.. [02:18] XMS: Do you know if Xfire works in Wine ? [02:18] Tritium : sorry mate [02:18] xMS_user: he didn't just leave. I removed him. [02:19] tehmass: u have not looked at medibuntu? [02:19] tritium: lol! you right. [02:19] I did not find it [02:19] anyone know anything about using ssh tunneling to access remote samba devices? [02:19] * xMS_user thinks to himself that he'd better not piss off any channel admins [02:19] brb [02:19] Carbonflux, this libxslt 1.1 is also a package that can not be authenticated [02:19] talon what do you code? [02:19] singlesun, if you look at the error basicly what is happening is that ccsm is using libxslt to load a XML file containing the compiz settings, its called a function that does not exist in that lib in terms of the version you have installed [02:20] xms: C++ [02:20] can compiz run on a virtual linux (in virtualbox), because for me iit doesn´t work. Is it maybe cause of the "virtual-graphic-device" [02:20] You wont like what i code :P but i make hacks for games :/ [02:20] singlesun, that is a bit weird [02:20] no, virtualization doesn't have support for 3D [02:20] Carbonflux, im thinking about reinstalling... LOL [02:20] whyshy: compiz wont run in VM [02:21] Is there a gui that allows for easy management of ip aliases? [02:21] singlesun, ya, something does seem broken, that should be a supported lib [02:21] what architure should i choose ?a/ b/ f/ h/ k/ libd/ m/ x/ [02:21] for medibuntu in kubuntu [02:21] Carbonflux, :O this is the story of my life... lol.. i just finished reinstalling everything on my wife's pc today... now mine... lol [02:21] nvm [02:22] singlesun, ya on this machine it shows that lib as being part of the supported stuff [02:22] ok thank you @ donald_ and andresmujica!!!!!!! [02:22] singlesun, so something is messed up on your machine, you could try a sudo apt-get clean maybe [02:22] I want to make a shell script that defines a useful function, and works either stand-alone or as a "library" (source filename.sh). Is there a good way to do this? [02:22] Carbonflux, i will try that [02:22] singlesun, it seems like your RSA keys might be mess up or something [02:23] tehmass: can u read the FAQ on medibuntu. about adding it to your /etc/apt/sources.list file? [02:23] singlesun, after the clean do a sudo apt-get update also [02:23] c++ and you use xp? now that is just plain silly [02:23] How do i get intel x3100 graphic working with compiz??? [02:23] thebigham: u need to add SKIP_CHECKS=yes to some file [02:23] with VS2005 C++ is fully support in XP [02:24] supported [02:24] xms: im used to it i guess [02:24] Carbonflux, alright i did both of those [02:24] its not as good as gcc or something === amblin_ is now known as amblin [02:24] Talon: i had a php script that did some db maintenence, on xp it would take about 5 - 7 minutes. on the same machine, debian ran it all in less than 1 minutes [02:24] Carbonflux, still not working... the verdict is... reboot... LOL [02:24] minute* singular [02:25] Carbonflux, and reinstall [02:25] singlesun, ya, something is messed up fairly bad, I am not sure you have to reinstall tho, you might try googling some of this first [02:25] singlesun, try the ImportError: line in google for example [02:25] hmm, brb xms having trouble with this 3d window download install stuff [02:25] singlesun, you can't be the first person to have this problem [02:25] Carbonflux, oh yes i can... that is usually the case.. lol [02:25] lol [02:26] guess thats why its the "bleeding" edge [02:26] I just don't know anything about authentication problems with apt [02:26] there might be a easy fix [02:26] does the cube thingy even work in gutsy? [02:26] bleeding is usually the case... LOL [02:27] Someone having gpg key errors with apt? [02:27] I have gotten the desktop cube working fine, i showed it to my girl friend, she pretended to be impressed in a polite way and then I turned it off [02:27] haha [02:28] xMS_user: Compiz? works here [02:28] that's funny [02:28] compiz works great [02:28] How do i install drivers for intel x3100 so compiz will work? [02:28] ya, seriously, it works fine here too [02:28] compiz looks great and ups my productivity [02:28] ehem sorry, but another stupid question: Is Lina a fake or will it ever be released! i mean, it was already released but not compiled! and because i doen´t know how to compile Lina, i just want to know if it would work ?! [02:28] thebigham: your video isn't working properly? [02:28] Carbonflux, see mine was working all this time... i just couldnt edit it today... LOL... [02:28] thebigham: u need to add SKIP_CHECKS=yes to some file [02:29] compiz-fusion is good even just for organizational puposes [02:29] xms: Once i finish installing this 3d windows and changing options do i have to do something to get them to apply ? :) [02:29] donald_, how do i do that? [02:29] The cube, and expo, and all that compiz stuff is productive... the "minimize in a blaze of fire" is just eye-candy [02:29] singlesun, well, I think you might be able to ignore the authentication issues for a time and just fix the compiz problem, there might be a way to refresh the keys or something [02:30] there was a guy just couple hours ago who helped me to get it working, but i was using the wrong hard drive, now i have do every over again. [02:30] I like compiz [02:30] I use a lot of it, the window rules and stuff [02:30] He gave me a link with simple steps to do win the teminal [02:30] thebigham: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=587045 [02:30] I have a ton of rules set up now [02:30] Nemilar: I cant find the option, how do i let my windows go down in a blaze of glory [02:30] Talon: ask donald_, nemilar, Mazus an RequinB4 they use it [02:30] the only thing I don't normally use is the desktop cube [02:31] Is Lina a fake? [02:31] Talon: you have to install the extras, h/o I'll find the package for you [02:31] Carbonflux, im gonna give this one a break for tonight... lol... i dont feel like pushing much farther with this tonight.. its been a long day... now i need to figure out what linux distro i will put on my old xp driven laptop... that now have a fan out in it that i refuse to replace... lol [02:31] Ahh, alwyas with the extras, thanks mate [02:31] singlesun, heh, I understand exactly what you mean, better not to push anyway, you might get sucked into a black hole of reinstalling [02:32] anybody get suspend to ram working in Feisty? It does suspend, but does not resume :S [02:32] Talon: compiz-fusion-plugins-extra and compizconfig-settings-manager [02:32] singlesun, one fun thing that can happen is having problems with the reinstall, a bad disc, etc [02:32] Talon: there's literally more options in there than I wish to count [02:32] EmmerP: suspend is black magic [02:32] donald_: not on windows, it isn't [02:32] Carbonflux, well ive reintalled on this pc many times over... LOL... [02:32] Nemilar: thats a good thing thoe :) options = happy [02:32] Lina? [02:33] (18:31:14) (xMS_user) Talon: ask donald_, nemilar, Mazus an RequinB4 they use it<-- what? [02:33] donald_, thanks alot it worked [02:33] hoe to use the find command in ubuntu [02:33] nemilar: not all ACPI implementations are the same [02:33] I want a popup notification displaying mpc's output. Right now I use "mpc|zenity --text-info" but I'd like something that kind of scales the window to fit the text properly. Is there a method? [02:33] i mean use the find command in VIM, sorry [02:33] singlesun, if ubuntu does not work on it I have had a lot of luck on older machines with fedora for some odd reason, but 7.10 Ubuntu has been quite good on old machines, stripped down of course [02:33] Talon: at some point you're gonna wind up mapping your mouse3 button to something, and your scroll wheel is going to stop working... just keep that in mind when you're wondering why you can't scroll in firefox, and then go back and unmap mouse3 ;) [02:33] Talon: _everyone_ I know has done that [02:33] Li..? [02:34] L? [02:34] Nem: i have one of those mouse pad things wit hthe scroll wheel on the side, i dont even think i can map it to anything elese [02:34] :-( [02:34] ;-) [02:34] Carbonflux, i would like to run something that is as stripped down as possible.. .but will still support its PCMCIA wireless card... [02:35] Carbonflux, need something light light weight, cuz i cant have it overheating due to fan being out... lol [02:35] Talon: you can map any button on your mouse to pretty much anything you want...might take some doing though [02:35] Mazus: compiz [02:35] true true, ill make sure i avoid that thoe [02:35] singlesun: Damm Small Linux (DSL) or Puppy linux might be something you'de want to look at. [02:36] Ububegin: when you are not in insert mode, press / and type whatever you are looking for in front. For example. /test [02:36] I personaly enjoy scrolling in firefox so thats high on the list to avoid [02:36] EADG, this gives full support for pcmcia wireless cards? [02:36] donald_: ok...that's it? hmmm [02:37] format c: /q in linux? [02:37] singlesun: a 50Mb d/l burn & reboot would tell you for sure. I don't use pcmcia on my lappy ;/ [02:38] Hey Nemilar how to i apply settings with this 3d windows, because when i change its options nothing happens its just the same :/ [02:38] dduong: how do i cont'd gg to next time.... i tried pressing ..dun think it is correct one [02:38] singlesun, yikes ;) [02:38] EADG, 50meg... lol.. sure is d small... [02:38] guys how do i format my sdc4 in ext3? [02:38] Carbonflux, whats up with the yikes? [02:38] dduong: how do i cont'd gg to next ITEM.... i tried pressing ..dun think it is correct one [02:38] gparted is acting retarted [02:38] singlesun, just thinking about the fanless computer :) [02:38] EmmerP: your mileage varies. u have to Google and narrow down to your specs [02:39] xMS_user, you are looking for the fdisk command? [02:39] singlesun: hehe, ya, it is. It has a gui, fluxbox iirc. [02:39] donald_: yeah...that's what I first tried without luck :) [02:39] Ububegin: press the letter n [02:39] i dunno. let me man it and see [02:39] Jewfro-Macabbi: let me man it and see [02:39] singlesun, he's right imo, DSL is a good pick [02:39] xMS_user, may the force be with you... [02:40] Carbonflux, it rotates very slowly... its been running XP and was designed for XP... but its just I really dont feel like spending the money to fix the fan... the fans are like 90 dollars and hard to get ahold of, company was KDS computers that went out of business [02:40] dduong: sweet .......dude... tks [02:40] anyone know if you can use ddr2 (675mhz) 2x512mb and ddr2 (800mhz) 2x1gb together? [02:40] singlesun, I have seen people do some really dirty fan hacks that seem to work ok, you might be able to adapt a fan from a old MB case or PSU maybe ? [02:40] EmmerP: also, there are various reasons for not resuming. u need to determine what it is. some have no backlight or DPMS issues. some can be fixed by switching to console and back [02:41] Ububegin: not a problem my friend :) [02:41] Wiredtape_Away, the 800mhz willl get stepped down to 675 [02:41] Wiredtape_Away, It will run both at the slower rate [02:41] Carbonflux, but this is my luck... lol... i am running 32 bit ubuntu on my desktop even though it is a dual core 64 bit amd 4400+, 2 gig ram, nvida geforce 8500gt, 320gig hd.... the 64 bit ubuntu i had alot of issues with [02:41] donald_: thx, will try some more [02:41] (18:36:11) (xMS_user) Mazus: compiz <-- i dont run compiz [02:41] Jewfro-Macabbi, but will be stable? [02:42] Wiredtape_Away, maybe, maybe not - it's generally not a good idea [02:42] singlesun, I am running 64bit on the same cpu, amd 4400 X2 [02:42] Jewfro-Macabbi, k , thx [02:42] singlesun, only difference is I have a geforce 8600 and no doubt the MB is different [02:42] Carbonflux, that is definently grunge, but you would have to see how the people built this fan, its ridiculous... fan is screwed up shape and size... and used proprietary components... definently wasnt meant to last [02:42] sry Mazus [02:43] singlesun, ya, fans are a pain, you see that a lot with gcards too [02:43] Jewfro-Macabbi: nope fdisk does not seem to be what i need [02:43] Any idea how to access SMART features on a SATA drive connected via USB? [02:43] Carbonflux, this is the 8500gt with 512 meg ram on it... works decent [02:43] Nemilar, did you get my question mate ? [02:43] is there a way to mount the network:// uri on the filesystem? [02:43] Talon: no, what's up? [02:43] Hey Nemilar how to i apply settings with this 3d windows, because when i change its options nothing happens its just the same :/ [02:43] thats what me said :) [02:43] singlesun, well, that box should run 64bit np, I have a fairly good install on mine [02:43] xMS_user, not familiar with any other good partition tools offhand... [02:43] * Cpudan80 Hopes this works [02:43] will network monitor work with wireless cards using ndiswrapper drivers? [02:44] Talon: you've got compiz running already? [02:44] adelie43: yes [02:44] yup [02:44] singlesun, the only real issue I had was with the flash plugin [02:44] Carbonflux, i had backtrack2 running on the laptop last night, but it was running hot.... ... i also do have the 64 bit ubuntu on boot disk... problem was getting flash and java to work.. etc [02:44] workin fine too, i see the 3d windows and all but none of my setting changes show up [02:44] singlesun, you just have to make sure you have the linux32 stuff installed [02:44] donald_: it isn't showing up [02:44] singlesun, but ya, you have to do a bunch of stuff by hand [02:44] Talon: try prefs - appearances - visual effects - custom [02:45] singlesun: too much horsepower? install 32bit Gutsy in VirtualBox for java n flash [02:45] donald_: it also doesn't show up in network tools, only iwconfig [02:45] i don't need to partion i need to format (sry if i sound like an idiot but they seem to be 2 diffrent things in windows) [02:45] Carbonflux, donald_ one sec, phone [02:45] Hi, could somebody please help me with my USB drive? [02:45] adelie43: it should. [02:45] !ask | tom__ [02:45] tom__: 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. :-) [02:45] what version of Ubuntu should I use for a core 2 duo system? Does the standard kernel have SMP support? [02:45] I just printed a 10-page PDF from evince; 6 pages printed, and then it just stopped; the "Document print status" window just says "stopped" for its status, and neither the printer itself nor anything else seems to be indicating an error... what's going on? [02:45] Nem: now im confused sorry were do i go :/ [02:45] JohnRobert: yep [02:45] I am fairly happy with 7.10 in 64bit [02:45] donald_: can you be using wired and wireless at the same time with the same router? [02:45] cool ta [02:46] is there a way to mount the network:// uri as a /media entry on the filesystem? [02:46] Talon: the Appearances control panel, visual effects tab [02:46] Hello? [02:46] it worked a lot better then I expected [02:46] Talon: enable Custom [02:46] !ask > tom__ [02:46] how do i format a partition? [02:46] adelie43: it chooses one only [02:46] xMS_user: use gparted [02:46] nemilar: it keeps crashing [02:46] xMS_user: well that stinks....you comfortable with the command line? [02:46] hey every website and tutorial i read says to install windows first, than ubuntu..... but if i already have ubuntu (gutsy) installed, is it possible to install windows without messing up ubuntu? [02:46] My drive shows up almost nowhere, and the light that indicated that it should be plugged in is not there [02:46] Well yeah ive been messin in that all day Nem, funny thing is none of my setting changes for the #d windows plugin work [02:46] 3d* [02:46] donald_: if I tried dhclient for the device, would it fail? said 'Network Down' [02:47] Siph0n: yes [02:47] Carbonflux, back... but yeah i tried all that, and I screwed it up.. either i would get java or flash working... never both of them... lol [02:47] donald_, know of a tutorial for me to follow? :) [02:47] adelie43: using dhclient will work only for open networks [02:47] Talon: I had that same problem, I don't remember how I fixed it to be honest [02:47] donald_: open? === ader10 is now known as ader10-ZzZzz [02:47] Carbonflux, i do have the 64 bit boot disk sitting right here though... lol.... [02:47] Talon: mess with it enough and it's bound to kick in [02:47] Damn, mabey i need to reinstall... [02:47] singlesun, ya, I made a special effort so I could try doing some C++ dev in 64bit [02:47] Carbonflux, the only thing that stops me is the java and flash... lol [02:47] !away > ader10-ZzZzz (ader10-ZzZzz, see the private message from Ubotu) [02:47] donald_: network only uses mac address filtering... hmm... [02:48] tom__: is the drive mounted? [02:48] Siph0n: well. keep a ubuntu alternate disk handy. boot rescue mode. [02:48] No [02:48] Carbonflux, i couldnt get the blackdown 64 stuff to work on here [02:48] singlesun, I just googled for: howto 64bit Ubuntu 7.10 flash [02:48] tom__: do you know what device it's been assigned to? [02:48] I can't figure out how to mount it [02:48] No, I don't [02:48] Hey guys does Ubuntu supports games like warcraft 3? [02:48] Hi I'm trying to get ascii extended characters supported in my terminal. ie: degree sign [02:48] tom__: dmseg | grep -i disk [02:48] donald_: the mac address would be the same for a combo integrated wired/wireless card, right? [02:49] Carbonflux, and there is a bunch of teks out there on how to do it... and usually they end up failing on me... lol [02:49] arrg: it runs wow and civ4 [02:49] arrg, you need a compatablity layer like wine or cedega [02:49] how is that possible ? [02:49] adelie43: no [02:49] tom__: it should show some lines that start with "sd" and have [sdX] in them, what is the X? [02:49] thru wine [02:49] I think you spelt that command wrong [02:49] singlesun, well, there is hardly any performance difference anyway [02:49] many other games too [02:49] Carbonflux, looks slightly better imo [02:49] tom__: dmesg | grep -i disk [02:49] isn't games like warcraft 3 and wow made for only windows and mac ? [02:49] tom__: spelled it right [02:49] donald_: cause this is a friends computer, and hated windows... wireless connected before reinstall. [02:50] I'm getting ? in my terminal where I expect an ascii extended character ... [02:50] http://appdb.winehq.org/ arrg go there [02:50] xMS_user, see also cfdisk and mkfs commands [02:50] adelie43: u may need a wireless key [02:50] wine is a windows emulator [02:50] Yesi understand what you mean guys [02:50] arrg, read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_%28software%29 [02:50] tom__: what's the error you get running the command? or just no output? [02:50] I don't know which one it is [02:50] but i still can't believe its possible [02:50] sorry all, got to run [02:50] The command worked [02:50] damn this is wonderful [02:50] I don't know which drive it is, tho [02:51] so guess no need to buy windows xp or vista [02:51] anything is possible in linux windows makes things impossible [02:51] donald_: I was reading something about broadcom cards having full support under 7.10. true? cause when I couldn't get it to connect initially, I used ndiswrapper. there is no wep key [02:51] tom__: it has multiple entries, sda and sdb, for example? [02:51] true jdh6403 [02:51] Yes [02:51] true [02:51] what i want to know though... is how ubuntu is on one cd... and stuff like slackware, redhat... etc... are on about 6 cd's [02:51] ya, linux is transparent [02:51] tom__: try running fdisk -l [02:51] so the only limit is your skill [02:51] tom__: does it list your disk's partitions? [02:51] singlesun, they just come with more optional packages on the disc [02:52] singlesun, I'd guess since Ubuntu gives away CD's - that's partly why they try and stick to one disc [02:52] Ubuntu is more net oriented [02:53] Jewfro-Macabbi, yeah... i mean.. you can still just get whatever package you need... so i dunno why these other OS's dont do the same [02:53] does anyone know how to get extended ascii characters to display [02:53] singlesun, its a judgment call, Ubuntu assumes you will have a broadband internet connection [02:53] Jewfro-Macabbi, just thinking back is all, lol... and wondering why my 14 hour redhat installs took so long... when i can install ubuntu in less than 15 mins.. lol [02:53] singlesun, most other's can actually be installed from the first disc only - with extras containing extra software - I know the Debian CD set is like that [02:53] ya, Fedora is the same [02:54] Nem: My laptop overheated, it rebooted now it all works :D [02:54] you can get minimal installs too iirc [02:54] wine is not an emulator ? [02:54] Talon: haha, you might consider installing some temperature sensors [02:54] its a compatibility layer arrg ;) [02:54] Jewfro-Macabbi, Carbonflux, aha... and myself being a package-whore.... said "i want it all" ... so of course... [02:54] heh [02:54] not bad [02:54] hello, why i can only share folders of my home and not of other partition? [02:54] isn't ubuntu good as windows ? [02:54] arrg, correct - wine intercepts the call for a windows component and redirects to a suitable open source replacement - or tries... [02:55] Nem: yeah the fan in this thing has been broke for a long time. been debating about a cooling thing, but thanks for your help i gotta go now but im sure ill be back later, bye bye [02:55] <|ns|nR8> security reasons Andres_22rio4, permission restrictions [02:55] arrg, basicly it just maps window api calls into linux calls, its only really slow when running directX stuff, if a program supports openGL like Wow for example it runs great [02:55] k [02:56] I need some help, my usb memory is infected with some files, and I cannot delete them. Each time I use it under windows, the files become unusable, and when I try to create a new folder, a lot of trashy files appear. The thing is that the virus file is read only, and I cannot erase it. Is there any command that would help me erasing definitively an specific file? [02:56] Carbonflux, seems im not the only person with a laptop in the closet that has a fan out... lol... accept when Talon's breaks it comes back fixed... [02:56] arrg, you can run Wow in wine and take maybe only a 1/3 frame rate hit, if you have a fast machine its just as good as windows [02:56] singlesun, laptops suck :) [02:56] Carbonflux, thats why its in the closet... LOL [02:56] you can't even put most of them on your lap [02:56] it blocks the zillion fans they need [02:57] <|ns|nR8> how i can make it? [02:57] ugh... I can print a test page, but if I try to print from evince the job just shows up as "stopped"... how do I fix this? [02:57] newbie: in a terminal you could use "sudo rm -f filename" [02:57] EADG, ok, thanks, will try that [02:57] I keep on getting weird lag with Terminal in xfce, for no reason I can find as yet, any ideas? Im low on cpu use, low on ram use... [02:57] would mkfs.ext3 -V /dev/sdc4 work? [02:57] arrg, clearly it will never be as fast as native windows, but the advantage of not having to boot windows is a important for some people [02:58] EADG, I got this error -> rm: cannot remove `papps': Input/output error [02:58] important one* [02:58] I was in earlier but maybe someone can try helping me again earlier I ran "apt-get remove udev" and it dumped the kernel I want to know if I can restore the kernel without a full reinstall [02:58] Carbonflux, people like me.. that have a vista ultimate partition that rarely gets logged onto... lol [02:58] did you run it on your amd machine singlesun ? [02:59] mkfs.ext3 -V /dev/sdc4 [02:59] xMS_user, if you were asking me, I don't know I didn't read the man [02:59] newbie: Hmm, never seen that before. Not sure what to try next... [02:59] Carbonflux, yep that is what i have it on ;) have to use it for work in visual studio [02:59] singlesun, ya, I ordered Vista Ultimate so I could play around with VS and DX10 [03:00] singlesun, was wondering how it ran on a amd 64 [03:00] anyway, off topic here [03:00] lol [03:00] hello, I need some help. I am trying to delete a virus file from a usb memory, using the rm -f command, but got this error-> rm: cannot remove `papps': Input/output error [03:00] Carbonflux, runs good... lol... oddly there can get to be some screwed up lag when initially loading even moderate sized solutions though [03:00] k [03:01] newbie: Try ejecting, unplugging, then pluggng back in your flash drive [03:01] singlesun, no doubt it takes a while to upload your source to M$ ;) [03:01] hi [03:01] lol, my HDD was named "they have 6" [03:01] hi [03:01] Carbonflux, or the solutions they keep sending me have extra hardrive killing things that instantly bog down my pc... lol... no.. i dont think so.. i think its the microshaft [03:02] osxdude, already tried that, but still got the same error [03:02] singlesun, VS 2005 ? [03:02] what is the comman for stop firestarter please ? [03:02] that freaking virus is driving me nuts [03:02] newbie: your flash drive might have the read protection on... [03:02] exophonix, use the exit in the menu [03:02] Carbonflux, yep I had 2008 but the files they send me were 2005 so i had to switch back [03:02] hi [03:02] exophonix: sudo invoke-rc.d firestarter stop? [03:02] anyone have any ideas for me? [03:02] Does anyone know if there's a way to rerun the keyboard layout detection you go through when installing? [03:02] do pc viruses affects linux ? [03:02] without reinstalling that is... [03:02] I have one of my partitions labeled as "fuseblk" under type. What is fuseblk? [03:03] arrg, normally no [03:03] Carbonflux, i didnt want to convert for 2k8 and then have them not be able to use naturally [03:03] but linux do have their own viruses right ? [03:03] key word... = normally.... unless you are me... LOL [03:03] singlesun, thanks for the info, ya I can see that, 2k8 is still beta anyway right ? [03:03] poor tom__'s hard drive died [03:03] can anyone explain how to use dbus.. or what it does? [03:03] osxdude, mmm I am not familiar with that. This flash drive is simple, has nothing special only the usb port. If you mean there is a hardware protection on, it is impossible. Now, could it be that it has some sort of software protection??? [03:03] arrg: very few exist and the ones that do are harmless or don't exist in the wild [03:03] Carbonflux, you can check out the demo from Microsoft ... its Express though [03:04] jack-desktop: as I understand it, it's a way for applications to communicate with each other [03:04] note: I do not endorse the above action... lol [03:04] newbie: what I meant was a little switch on the side of the flash drive [03:04] anyone in here a ubuntu master? [03:04] jack-desktop: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dbus [03:04] http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4233478&postcount=10 i want to beable to do that, but i don't have a "~/.dbus/user-dbus-address" [03:04] osxdude, nope, there is no such thing [03:04] newbie: but that could be a possibility [03:04] arrg, not really, for a lot of reasons, I mean I am sure there are a few but they are a lot harder to write and hide and propigate, also, linux is just not that popular on the desktop, you don't see a lot of botnets with linux machines in them for example, it a lot easier to see whats going on inside a linux machine and also your average linux user is a bit more technical. [03:05] the little virus could have infected your flash drive... [03:05] hello all... [03:05] look at what you miss : http://i34.servimg.com/u/f34/11/90/17/15/hjk10.jpg [03:05] newbie: can you copy stuff of of the flash drive? [03:05] ok [03:05] what carbon said... sounds good... lol [03:05] look at what you miss : http://i34.servimg.com/u/f34/11/90/17/15/hjk10.jpg [03:05] arrg, anything is possible tho :) [03:05] Please, could anyone refer me to a good online bit torrent optimizing guide? [03:06] jack-desktop: that how-to is pretty advanced... but it's saying to create that file [03:06] osxdude, nope, it says that I do not have permissions to copy into that folder [03:06] unless you are a supernewbleet like me... and you find ways to bump into things that will purposefully screw up no matter what system you are running [03:06] nemilar, i got everything except that one part === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFK [03:06] singlesun, ya, happens to all of us that take risks [03:06] osxdude, do you know which command I can use to get rid of the permissions? I know it is something like chmod.... [03:06] nemilar, i put the echo in the file and then it says file not found, i'm assuming it should be there.. in the /.dbus/ folder [03:07] jack-desktop: the ">" on a command-line is a way of saying "take the output and make it the contents of this file" [03:07] newbie: chown and chmod, correct :) [03:07] danc3 whispers to Hulya_5:rnHow'd you like to get your ass kicked, motherfucker? [03:07] jack-desktop: do you have a ~/.dbus folder ? [03:07] nemilar, no [03:07] jack-desktop: so create it ;) [03:07] jack-desktop: and then it should work fine [03:07] Carbonflux, i intend to setup this desktop running virtual box to test different server os's with that excellent laptop i was talking about.. LOL [03:07] !ops Hulya_5 [03:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about ops hulya_5 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:07] nemilar, i was thinking > meant like, extract data from that folder.. totally opposite.

[03:09] Hulya_5, ubotu is a bot [03:09] really? nice [03:09] osxdude, ok, let me try that === atmosph is now known as zer0ne [03:09] watch danc3 so bot ! === zer0ne is now known as zerOne [03:10] haha pwned === H4ck3rx is now known as H4ck3rx|work [03:10] exactly why I did the !ops command...he doesn't need help [03:10] My left-click button is broken :( :( this makes computing very difficult. [03:10] dvd playback isnt working [03:10] owch' [03:10] :) [03:10] tell that to a MAC fanboi [03:10] er [03:10] :( [03:10] hahaha === zerOne is now known as atm0sph [03:10] weasel: haha, I said left-click, not right click [03:10] thanks weasel :P [03:11] Ive got X11 running with no xorg.conf. It works cool, except I want to turn of compiz. How do i dump an xorg.conf so I can disable an option? [03:11] is this the right place to ask about a bad iptables config? [03:11] i pop in a dvd, it just opens a window with folders... [03:11] nemilar: switch the buttons so left is right and right is left [03:11] Quick question: how do I format an SD card? I have gParted installed, but it can't find the device [03:11] ale1: you could definitely try asking [03:11] Please, could anyone refer me to a good online bit torrent optimizing guide? [03:11] thank you PriceChild [03:11] osxdude: that's what I'm doing at the moment, but it's driving me MADDDDDD [03:11] I am new to linux, how do I read a cd? I went to root and went into cdrom which was emtpy and then I tried /media/cdrom and /media/cdrom0, both empty do I need to mount it and if so how? [03:11] hans_: torrentfreak.com [03:11] so change hands [03:11] nemilar: use the enter key and the space bare AND the tab keys [03:11] !away > H4ck3rx|work [03:11] use the other hand [03:11] it will be fine [03:11] just kidding [03:12] LockesRabb, dvd playback is not directly supported by ubuntu... you have to install a few packages [03:12] osxdude, sorry I got no clue on how to use this :(. Could you give me an example? I used sudo su, then went to the flashdrive folder, and used 'chmod -R papps', but is says 'missing operand after papps' [03:12] When looking at System Monitor/File System it shows /media/sdb1 as type "fuseblk". Is that a file system type like ext3? That designation doesn't show up in my fsab for any of my partitions. [03:12] @zim: what happens if you eject and then pop it in again? for me it opens a window automatically [03:12] hi i'm having trouble installing ubuntu on an hp tx2000 tablet pc [03:12] i'm having a whitescreen [03:12] osxdude: all the stores around here are closed, so I went on craigslist and now I'm trading my nintendo64 for a wireless mouse and keyboard set...guy should be here in an hour. [03:12] sort of clouds [03:12] How can I get the gnome weather applet to download an extended forecast type thing? [03:12] when i put in the live cd [03:12] hans_: Google "torrent program name + wiki' Azareus has a good one for starters. [03:12] Like a 5 day text based forecast [03:12] Cpudan80: I don't think you can :( the xfce applet is _so_ much better [03:12] does anyon eknow how to solve this? [03:12] Cpudan80: did you read the documentation? [03:12] ale1: im using server edition because I just wanted to have a personal LAMP to mess around with. no gui. I obviously installed off a cd though, so I know the drive works [03:12] @singlesun, what packages do i need to install [03:13] carloc - there's an alternate/text mode install cd availalbe also [03:13] LockesRabb, try this guide maybe http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-ubuntu-linux-playback-dvd/ [03:13] newbie: I think what you need it << sudo chmod -R 1000 /media/ >> [03:13] danc3: Well it's not in the preferences... [03:13] thanks Tm_T [03:13] danc3: No, I did not read the man page [03:13] nemilar, maybe the xfce appelate will work in gnome? if it does tell Cpudan80 [03:13] Cpudan80: maybe if we both write letters to the gnome-weather-applet team, we can get them to include the feature [03:13] Cpudan80: no, I said "documentation", not "preferences" [03:13] will that solve the problem for an hp tx2000? [03:13] Scunizi: I doubt it, I'm gonna try it out now [03:13] LockesRabb, really you just need the CSS libraries [03:13] http://pastebin.com/d24b0591a <-- my default iptables [03:14] LockesRabb, perhaps sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh [03:14] danc3: No - I have not [03:14] carloc, not certain - there's also network install for a quicker answer [03:14] danc3, what would you type for that.. man ?? [03:14] I can't connect to anything with them, so I flushed them all and set policy to accept [03:14] Cpudan80: perhaps you should [03:14] i'm gonna try downloading it now [03:14] hi there [03:14] i get a white screen [03:14] does anyone see a better way besides dumping my whole iptables? [03:14] sort of like a lava lamp [03:14] So Ubuntu automounts the SD card, and I can open it and stuff, but I need to format it [03:15] lol @ like a lava lamp [03:15] does anybody know how I'd be able to change the color scheme for ONLY the gnome panels? [03:15] !vcd [03:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about vcd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:15] carloc: your monitr needs help [03:15] @CITguy: can't you right click on them? [03:15] How can I get vcd support? [03:15] H4ck3rx|work: you're welcome, I hope you learn from the wisdom of ubotu ;) [03:15] ale1: I can't change the color of the font [03:15] CITguy: right click the panel, choose Properities... go to Appearance tab then choose the color [03:16] you can make it transparent too [03:16] anyone able to help me with my cd problem? [03:16] whois ubuntu [03:16] singlesun-- followed instructions, gunna try dvd now [03:16] brb [03:16] @CITguy: sorry, don't know about the font off-hand and I'm running KDE atm [03:16] I am only able to change the background color of the panel. I want to change the FONT color [03:16] does anyone know about iptables here? [03:16] LockesRabb, cool.. let me know whats up [03:16] zim__: don't as to ask a question...ask the question :) [03:16] zim__: what's your problem ? [03:16] is sudo cp -rxvP /home/* /mnt/bkup/ good? [03:16] *ask === ale1 is now known as Ale1 === Ale1 is now known as alexrudd [03:17] i mean good for making backups [03:17] good evening! [03:17] CITguy: I do not thing you can ONLY change the font color [03:17] Shpook, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Multimedia [03:17] osxdude, Thanks for being patient with me. I am desperate to recover my files from that memory. I tried the '-R 1000' option, but still I cannot do anything. I already disconnected several times the memory, but each time I connect it back, there is the same problem [03:17] xMS_user: tou can use -a /home/. [03:17] anyone got any explanation why my flash is all messed up? it looks like this: http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/8920/videocf6.png http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/2218/youtubemainay3.png [03:17] think = thing [03:17] I did ask the question already. I dont know how to read stuff off the cd and I need help (new, dont know what to do.) do I need to mount it? how? [03:17] what packages do I install to have a workable gnome? [03:17] -a is a shortcut for all these option [03:17] Hey, can anyone help me? I can't get sound to forward in rdesktop 1.5 [03:17] Who was asking about the gnome weather applet + forecast?? [03:17] and with the final dot you won't miss any hidden file [03:18] osxdude, do you have any other suggestion that could help me copying my files and formatting the memory? [03:18] Jewfro-Macabbi: Thank you. [03:18] scorphus: Gnome is already installed on Ubuntu [03:18] Hi all, Can I use version control software to merge the contents of folders? [03:18] scorphus, gnome-desktop-environment [03:18] where do u get complete system themes for ubuntu ? [03:18] newbie: try this command instead: << sudo chown -R : /media/ >> [03:18] synaptic [03:18] box_, get the gnome-art package [03:18] @scrophus: why not just install ubuntu-desktop and remove anything you don't want? [03:18] osxdude, ok [03:18] zim__: usally the CD shoudl have benn mount automatically [03:19] danc3: sorry, I should have mentioned this is a Ubuntu server installation. A very basic installed on Xen 3 [03:19] synaptic houses all DMs [03:19] tnx [03:19] @zim: what happens if you eject and close it again? [03:19] Jewfro-Macabbi: thanks, let me try it [03:19] scorphus: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [03:19] zim__: the CD should mount when you put it in (by default). You may have to open a nautilus window and click "CD Drive" [03:19] CITguy: okay [03:19] still didnt work [03:19] Who was asking about the gnome weather applet + forecast?? [03:19] damn [03:19] @alexrudd: nothing @yannik:it doesnt or I would be fine. [03:19] @singlesun -- dvd wont play [03:20] zim__: ok. Try what other people have suggested [03:20] errr [03:20] @singlesun, i opened it in totem, it plays, but there's blank screen, i tried opening it in gxine, but gxine errored out saying it couldnt read stream [03:20] sudo cp -rxvPa [03:20] LockesRabb, did dvd ever play for you in ubuntu? [03:20] LockesRabb, I've never had problems with mplayer [03:21] I'm using Ubuntu since my XP installation went off the deep end and I can't find my XP disc [03:21] no, this is my first time enabling dvd playback [03:21] I can't boot it without safe graphics [03:21] @osxdude:I am running server edition, I have only command line [03:21] xMS_user: no no. simply cp -a is enough [03:21] cool yannick_ [03:21] @zim: What about mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom? [03:21] LockesRabb, wait a second.... you said it plays but there is a blank screen? so you hear sounds but there is a blank screen? [03:21] How would I go about getting myself some graphics drivers for this? === shock_ is now known as DeStephano [03:21] Or some audio? [03:21] CITguy: aptitude tells me "...439 newly installed..." and "...Need to get 404MB/406MB of archives....". Should I proceed? [03:21] zim__: Then here ya go: << sudo mount /dev/cdrom >> [03:21] scorphus: yes === piranha is now known as PiranhaP [03:21] I'm rather uneducated about this OS :) [03:21] zim__: that should mount it [03:21] CITguy: thank you [03:22] zim__ oh yea and append a mount point to that [03:22] @singlesun, i'm deaf, so i don't know if it's emitting any sounds ;p [03:22] you're welcome === yannick_ is now known as ylynfatt [03:22] how do u start gnome from command prompt [03:22] spithra: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [03:22] spithra: gnome-session? [03:22] spithra: or just "startx" [03:22] LockesRabb: seriously? [03:22] osx, yes [03:22] startx starts kde [03:22] after installing gnome-art where do u change options @ ? [03:23] i've never met a deaf dude before :D [03:23] osxdude, I think I know why I could not copy my files. I was selecting all of the files including the corrupted files. Now I only selected the files that are ok, and it seems to be copying it. [03:23] perhaps it would be better to ask this here than in the kde-specific chan, since it's more generalized: does gutsy (whether in main, universe, etc) have a driver in the repos that supports the via chrome9 k8m890's 3d features? [03:23] @scorphus: I'm not sure how aptitude is compared to synaptic, but you might want to go through and remove things you definitely don't want, like "gnome-pilot" [03:23] @singlesun, let me try putting in a different dvd and see if its the same [03:23] osx-- you still havent-- we didnt meet in person yet ;p [03:23] alexrudd thanks, worked, didnt know what the name to mount it was (ive mounted usb, but it took a while to figure out what to call that too) [03:23] box_, it's under system - preferences - art manager [03:23] newbie: Glad sorted it ouy [03:23] @ all who tried ot help me, thanks [03:23] *out [03:23] LockesRabb, ummm.... ok.. if you are being serious... try another dvd i guess [03:23] tnx again [03:23] osxdude, Yeeeiii I could recover some files, thank you very much [03:23] holy cow did anyone ever see this thing it must be brand new or something [03:23] alexrudd: hmm... let me take a look to this synaptic. thanks [03:23] Does ubuntu have another browser besides firefox? [03:23] @zim: for future reference, you can check out /etc/fstab for automatically configured mount points [03:24] epiphany is available [03:24] @singlesun, of course, why would i joke about the dvd not workin? [03:24] LockesRabb, i new to ubuntu as well... but i know that when i didnt have the right codecs sometimes vids would play the sound and not the actual video [03:24] zim__ did you try << sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0 >> [03:24] aptitude has moo powers [03:24] Jewsus: you can use Opera if you want [03:24] you can also check out opera [03:24] thats the difference [03:24] LockesRabb, i meant about beign def [03:24] hmmm [03:24] http://wiresmash.com/funny/this-is-sparta/ <---- HAHA!!!!! [03:24] lool [03:24] Jewsus: there's also a bunch of Gecko-based browsers [03:24] oops thought i said it [03:24] lol [03:24] what the default max limit of half-open connections in Ubuntu? or does it even work like that/ [03:24] hmm [03:24] @osxdude: yeah, he said that worked when I suggested it [03:24] box_, gnome art just downloads/installs different themes/icons/windows borders for you - you can then use them via system - preferences - appearance [03:24] osxdude, one last question. I have never formated a flash drive from the command line before. Do you know how can I do it? Is there any option that erases EVERYTHING, not only the boot sector? [03:24] i just stumbled on this ourbuntu.com thing must be in the works or something [03:24] sudo aptitude moo | sudo aptitude -v moo [03:24] @singlesun -- i'd much rather NOT be deaf, i hate it, and i prefer not to mention it, i wouldn't have mentioned it if u hadnt asked me if i could hear it [03:24] ;) [03:24] speed, exactly [03:24] does anyone know about iptables? [03:24] troms: i don't even think that applies, as ubuntu has an *intelligently designed* tcp/ip stack [03:24] alexrudd:i dont think it was autoconfig because it didnt spin the disk or give me anyoutputs when I put it in. for the usb that I had to manually mount (due to some windows weirdness in it) it at least popped up the init lines and the device gave indications it was connected [03:24] spithra: This may sound stupid, but do you have Gnome installed? [03:25] anyone know of it? [03:25] super cow powers baby :) [03:25] LockesRabb, have you tried mplayer. I find it works much better than totem. [03:25] \m/ [03:25] gotta love the power [03:25] LockesRabb, give the other dvd a shot... and see.... if not... i really cant help much more....... i suggested all that i could... but these guys are pretty savvy and can prolly help ya fix it [03:25] newbie: unfortunatley I don't know... might have to look it up. [03:25] jen2: so I don't have to worry about slow browsing speeds when bittorrent is on? [03:25] yannick_1m: sudo -a /home/* /mnt/bk ? [03:25] Please, could someone refer me to a guide on optimizing ktorrent? [03:25] alexrudd, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo?highlight=%28ip%29%7C%28tables%29 [03:25] hmmm [03:25] doesnt the moo power go to the v6 power or so? [03:26] well well well [03:26] speed, too bad they dont offer that in the newer versions *frowns* [03:26] what do i know [03:26] xMS_user: sudo cp -av /home/. /mnt/bk [03:26] osxdude, all right you already helped me a lot, and saved me from loosing important data. Damn Windows.... Thank you very much! [03:26] mplayer was able to play the Dvd [03:26] hey people. [03:26] newer versions? [03:26] hans_: ktorrent is a lot like utorrent, check torrentfreak or the utorrent forums [03:26] (-v so you can see what's goig on :) [03:26] LockesRabb, lol go figure... lol [03:26] is utorrent available for ubuntu? [03:26] i havent had the cows on my screen since 6.06 [03:26] troms: bittorrent, left to its own devices, will saturate your bandwidth and it certainly can affect your browsing experience [03:26] thanks dsynders & singlesun [03:26] My soundcard wont work... checked alsamixer and im looking for the soundcard but I dont know my model of motherboard or sound card... [03:26] it works with ubuntu 7.10's aptitude [03:26] tumbleweed05: no, it's a windows application [03:26] I dont know what to do [03:26] tumbleweed05: for something similar, check out deluge [03:26] LockesRabb, wouldnt have played without those CSS libraries though ;) [03:27] thanks nemilar [03:27] @singlesun, haha yes === jen2 is now known as Daisuke_Too [03:27] anyone know of a good bit torrent client for ubuntu? [03:27] i dunno what your doing there weasel but it works for me :) [03:27] @singlesun i'm checkin to see if mplayer supports subtitles [03:27] haha [03:27] tumbleweed05, azureus [03:27] arkanes: in windows, just having bittorrent on with a few dls is enough to cripple your browsing speeds [03:27] !best | tumbleweed05 [03:27] tumbleweed05: 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. [03:27] tumbleweed05: azureus for gui and rtorrent for consile [03:27] it just says super cow powers arent available with my copy [03:27] you are welcome newbie :) :) :D [03:27] tumbleweed05: deluge, transmission, if you wan someting light [03:27] thanks yannick_1m [03:27] hey can someone please help me with an OS installation? having some issues.. [03:27] weird [03:27] LockesRabb, hmm... that i do not know.. i never tried that [03:27] there's got to be 500 BT apps for linux [03:27] LockesRabb, I'm pretty sure it does. It is quite flexible [03:27] xMS_user: you're welcom :) [03:27] !ask > Guest_548 [03:27] could somebody tell me how can I format a usb drive from the command prompt? I need to erase EVERYTHING, not only the boot sector. There are some corrupted files that seem to not move/erase, so I need to destroy anything on that usb and make it usable again [03:27] alright. transmission. i use that for my mac mini. [03:27] thanks people. [03:28] LockesRabb, its been a very long time since i watched any movies... lol [03:28] Can anyone help me install nvidia drivers on a server kernel? [03:28] Help for miles? [03:28] troms: No, windows is capable of handling the load without much trouble. The problems are likely related to your upstream provider or your network, and won't neccesarily go away on ubuntu [03:28] Help for miles/ [03:28] neuber: why would you want nvidea drivers on a server? [03:28] newbie: look for a tutorial for fdisk [03:28] cool, subtitles work [03:28] nemilar i'm only using the server headers because i need the extended memory support [03:29] interesting [03:29] LockesRabb, right on ;) [03:29] neuber: tru [03:29] every time i try to change to english subtitle, or skip to another chapter in dvd [03:29] troms: a different BT client may have an effect [03:29] miles_: what's your problem ? [03:29] mplayer emits an error [03:29] arkanes: I had to us LvlLord's EventID tcpip patcher in XP and sucurevista's tcpip patch in vista [03:29] says "gnome_screen_saver_control()" [03:29] LockesRabb, it says... watch the whole thing from beginning to end... lol [03:29] nemilar: i have a readme on how to do it but its really not helping [03:29] i havent had any problems, just wondering if I would run into any [03:30] * wease| plays minesweeper in aptitude [03:30] LockesRabb, really i have no clue about that [03:30] neuber: can't help you, Intel video here [03:30] yannick_lm: I cant get my sound to work. I have an SiS card but I dont know the model. Its on a foxconn. Ive tried alsa mixer and ive checked to see if it is recognized and it is... [03:30] alexrudd and CITguy: I think I should show you a screenshot of what I get, I'm sure you'll guide me to fix this. I have no window border, title and no window list on the bottom panel: http://img30.picoodle.com/img/img30/4/1/30/f_ubuntugutsym_42e884a.png [03:30] i didn't know transmission was packaged with ubuntu. [03:30] nice. [03:31] alright but i'm out. thanks everyone. [03:31] troms: if those patches are supposed to remove the connection throttling, that's a consequence of poorly behaved BT clients, not windows per se [03:31] I just want to fix that... I don't really need all those hundred applications [03:31] miles_: I'm sorry, I don't know much about sound cards. [03:31] scorphus: try "metacity --replace" [03:31] yannick_lm: thanks anyway [03:31] how do I run something as root? [03:31] CITguy: ok [03:31] that was fun [03:31] kles: su root === H4ck3rx|work is now known as H4ck3rx [03:31] A website says an applet is supposed to pop-up in another window, but it isn't working in firefox [03:31] scorphus, you might try the aptitude search tool - I think the base package is called gnome-core but search fore gnome and it will list everything [03:31] thanks [03:32] but it doesn't show the pop-up blocker thing [03:32] uhhh [03:32] CITguy: metacity --replace fixed it [03:32] arkanes: I use utorrent, and max that sucker out, if i use the default amount in vista, I get decent bt speeds, but with the patch i get awesome bt speeds and great speeds everywhere else [03:32] Jewfro-Macabbi: let me try it [03:32] it asks as a password - what do I put in? I don't have a password [03:32] thanks [03:32] Jewsus: do you see a lightbulb on the bottom right hand side of the window? [03:32] Can someone please help? After my first successful installation of Gutsy, my OS won't boot.. What could I have done wrong? [03:32] anyone really bored??.... check this out... telnet this.... or better yet... just put this in your terminal "telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl" [03:32] scorphus: you're welcome [03:32] CITguy, non [03:32] no* [03:32] kles i think you need to set one first... [03:32] Kles: try sudo su - aand put your awn pass [03:32] Guest_548, What happens when you turn the computer on? [03:33] !sudo | Kles [03:33] Kles: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [03:33] * own pass [03:33] Carbonflux, you still there? [03:33] troms: If you're the sort of person to whom BT traffic is important enough that you'll install binary patches to your tcp stack just to try to get faster downloads, well more power to you [03:33] Jewsus: what version of Ubuntu and Firefox are you using? [03:33] How do i get an xorg.conf ? [03:33] It freezes at the initial Ubuntu screen with the orange progress bar. Freezes about 10% of the way. [03:33] ubunty 7.10 gutsy, firefox version 2.0.0.11 [03:33] arkanes: lol, i live off bt [03:33] troms: there's nothing that patching the stack does that fixing the BT clients won't do. BT clients are not well known for being reliable and well behaved network applications [03:33] anyway... anyone want to help me install nvid drivers on server kernel? [03:34] jsoftw, You most likely already have one... What are you trying to do? [03:34] ubuntu* [03:34] Guest_548: when that loading screen shows up press ALT+F1 to see what your machine is doing [03:34] urk [03:34] what is a "X server" [03:34] neuber, Why are you using the server kernel? [03:34] ARGH I hate university network. (1) It decimates network-manager (2)It blocks IRC! [03:34] I've tried the Live CD and the alternate CD for Gutsy and the alternate CD for Fiesty. [03:34] Jordan_U: i dont have one. [03:34] Hi all! I want to merge the contents of some directories. Would a version control software be of any use? [03:34] jordan_u for the extended memory support [03:34] anyway, sorry for vent. Anyone know iptables? [03:34] neuber, perhaps module-assistant? [03:34] Jordan_U: im trying to get one. Then I will disable Composite things for nvidia. [03:34] Let me try that, hold on. [03:35] Kles: X server is the program that allows you to have a desktop, windows and the sort [03:35] arkanes: bittorrent is built to misbehave, no one thought you've dling chucks from thousands of connections at once [03:35] Kles: the X server is the application that provides the graphical interface for your ubuntu installation [03:35] oh yuck [03:35] Unless its somewhere other than /etc/X11/xorg.conf, then I dont have one. [03:35] I need help with my screen resolution and xserver!! [03:35] @dsnydners: have you looked into unison? [03:35] I can't install these drivers when it's running [03:35] troms: untrue, but there's not really anything more to say. [03:35] jewfro-macabbi, i know nothing of module assistant... [03:35] I'm trying to run a C program i wrote using gcc, but everytime i run ./a.out scanf doesn't seem to pick up the input and the variable is the same.., any ideas? [03:35] CITguy, I'm using ubuntu 7.10 gutsy, and firefox version 2.0.0.11 [03:35] neuber, You have 4+ GIG of RAM on a 32 bit machine? [03:35] Is it necessary to restart to hear sound/ [03:35] Jewsus: ok, gimme a sec [03:35] alt f1 isnt doing anything, screen is still frozen [03:35] ok [03:35] I need help with my screen resolution and xserver!! [03:35] jordan_u, correct [03:35] peterpants: gcc foo.c -o myapp [03:35] okay [03:35] ./myapp [03:36] neuber, I'm looking for you - it's a way to install graphics drivers [03:36] arkanes: im not gonna worry about it, just something from windows I expected to find in ubuntu and pleasenlt suprised that I havent [03:36] i solved the gnome_screensaver_control() error in mplayer [03:36] how? [03:36] Cmon people. How do I dump xorg's config. [03:36] all i had to do was go in preferences and uncheck the "stop xscreensaver" option [03:36] neuber, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual [03:36] that solved it [03:36] nice [03:36] Im running with no xorg.conf right now, how do I dump what xorg is currently running as. [03:36] jsoftw: i tried that but my scanf still isn't setting the variable :( [03:36] but i still need help with my xorg and what not [03:36] Jewsus: does the applet work fine otherwise? [03:36] then its your code [03:37] workaround for broken partitioner ? [03:37] @jsoftw dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg would do it, I think. I don't know enough about it to recommend it, though [03:37] There is no applet, it's supposed to open another window and load in that window [03:37] if i turn it off and the progress bar first starts running and actually moving, when i press alt f1 it starts scrolling, numbers in the front of the message increasing but cant read what it says, scrolling very fast [03:37] hmmm, I'm not likely to find sound drivers for my built in audio :/ [03:37] I need to format an SD card, I have gparted and the the device automounts, but gparted can't find it [03:37] alex_rudd, I don't want to synchronize the directories. I want to eliminate duplicate files. [03:37] ive been doing dpkg-reconfigure for the past half hour [03:37] Jewsus: do you have javascript enabled? [03:37] alex_rudd: thanks [03:37] um but applets work in other pages, when they don't load in separate windows [03:37] and it hasn't been giving me the settings i want [03:37] yes javascript is enabled [03:37] jsoftw: I don't think you can. Why did you delete your xorg.conf? [03:37] jsoftw or simply sydi dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-core [03:37] jsoftw, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" but why don't you have an xorg.conf [03:37] @dsnyders: you can merge dupes, or copy one to the other. Then delete the extra directory [03:37] you'll have to answer less questions [03:37] Jewsus: could you post the link so I can try? [03:38] okay, http://optimallearning.org/cb/indexo.html [03:38] CITguy: :/ everytime I login I have to do metacity --replace, what am I still missing? [03:38] iptables help anyone? [03:38] what is dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-core supposed to do? [03:38] scorphus, System -> Preferences -> Appearance [03:38] arkanes: I did not delete it. [03:38] ok [03:38] jsoftw: then where did it go? [03:38] I added a new monitor, and its not working properly with my origional xorg.conf [03:38] ffs. [03:39] Stop trying to sidetrack the issue. [03:39] alex_rudd, I'll take a closer look at unison, then. [03:39] alex_rudd, What sort of help do you need with iptables? [03:39] xorg runs fine right now, _except_ that I want to disable one option [03:39] for which afaik I need an xorg.conf for. [03:39] pppoe_dude: nice site man, I'm at www.techthrob.com [03:39] Jewsus: It's not working for me either. I suspect the applet isn't working properly. [03:39] if X is running, then it had a (working) xorg.conf when it started [03:39] if that xorg.conf is no longer present, you did something to change it [03:40] undo whatever you did [03:40] CITguy, I remember the applet used to work fine when I was running windows [03:40] does anyone live where it's raining right now? [03:40] @dsndyers. I have to flush them all to connect to anything. http://pastebin.com/d24b6591a [03:40] Snow is rain right? [03:40] yes [03:40] Jewsus: so it's worked in windows but not in Ubuntu? [03:40] yes [03:40] ... it's raining then :) [03:40] Jewsus: were you using firefox with windows? [03:40] EADG, snow is not rain. You don't have to shovel it. [03:40] arkanes: WRONG. [03:40] neuber, "module-assistant" is a package in universe, info on it on this page: http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers?highlight=%28nvidia%29#Libraries [03:40] By any chance, does anyone know (or have a link to any information) what the performance difference under compiz is between the NVidia Quadro NVS 140M and the Quadro FX 570M? [03:40] anyone know of a way to log EVERYTHING I type in a command line? Including when I am inside an interpreter or something? [03:40] CITguy, yes, I think so [03:41] arkanes: dude, xorg can run without an xorg.conf [03:41] oh, crap I mistyped the pastebin link :( [03:41] list [03:41] hey [03:41] EADG, shovel rain that is. [03:41] Snow = no mosquitos. [03:41] !offtopic | EADG [03:41] Jordan_U: gnome-themes is missing I'm installing it [03:41] EADG: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:41] Unless there is some magical xorg.conf hiding somewhere other than /etc/X11/xorg.conf, then my xorg is RUNNING WITHOUT AN XORG.CONF [03:41] jewfro-macabbi THANKS! [03:41] hi alls [03:41] and its working sweet, except for one tiny thing. [03:41] hola amigos [03:41] there's lots of other places it can get one from [03:41] hola [03:41] how did you start X? [03:41] *sigh* [03:41] normal login screen. [03:41] scorphus, I only meant to go there to turn off desktop effecs ( compiz ) [03:41] hi, i'm getting an md5sum mismatch trying to install flashplugin-nonfree. any help on that? [03:42] !flashissue | sarixe [03:42] then it used the one in /etc/X11 [03:42] alex_rudd, The pastebin is empty. [03:42] * Pici pokes the bot [03:42] sarixe: 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. [03:42] arkanes: no it did NOT. [03:42] thanks [03:42] Jewsus: I'm sorry, from all of the information I'm getting, it seems to be a problem with the way the applet is coded. [03:42] then it's not a "normal login screen" [03:42] arkanes: Look dude. [03:42] arkanes: you are wrong. [03:42] hmm, okay [03:42] Jewsus: I would contact the developer to see if they have a solution. [03:42] @dsnyders: Yes, I had to copy it to paper from Ubuntu, and I'm on windows now :( [03:42] arkanes: its running _without_ an xorg.conf right now, mmm kay? [03:42] can somone tell me how I can reallocate the amount of space on my virtual XP partition in vmware-server [03:42] no it isn't [03:42] EADG, did you get the messages i sent you? [03:42] how can i increase my workspaces... [03:43] Thanks anyway CITguy [03:43] or rather, it didn't start that way [03:43] arkanes: ls: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory [03:43] it certainly didn't from a "normal" login screen [03:43] dude, its from that ubuntu login screen, you know, that normal one. [03:43] restart time yay [03:43] arkanes: stop talking rubbish, the file is _NOT_ there. [03:43] Jewsus: For what it's worth, you're welcome. [03:43] So.. Would anyone be able to help? [03:43] sup [03:43] oh oh [03:43] that doesn't mean it *wasn't* there [03:44] arkanes: dude, I can restart the box and it will behave just the same. [03:44] hello [03:44] jack-desktop: yes, I see it now. Medicine Hat Alberta. [03:44] arkanes: stop trying to tell me what is happening on my own box [03:44] jsoftw: then you or someone else has done something unusual to your system [03:44] jsoftw: do you know what it is? [03:44] running studio ubuntu [03:44] arkanes: you _do_ know that xorg can run happy _WITHOUT_ an xorg.conf, dont you? [03:44] ooooo nerd fight [03:44] no, it can't [03:44] arkanes: bollocks. [03:44] you know that it doesn't have to be named that, right? [03:44] *sigh* [03:44] brb, going into ubuntu [03:44] jsoftw, arkanes: stop bickering. [03:45] alex_rudd, Maybe it's for the best. I'm a novice at iptables, but I'm willing to take a look [03:45] test [03:45] but it is by default, and if that's not the one it's using, then you are *not* runnig a "normal" ubuntu [03:45] Just installed gutsy. Said I had something like 185 updates to install. So I go for it. They all download fine, but when the install begins, it fails real fast with the following error: [03:45] An error occurred.

[03:45] saturdayplace: go to ubuntu with that [03:45] Pici: erm... 7.10 [03:45] if you're not running a normal ubuntu, you should know enough about what you did to know what you did to X [03:46] jdh6403: isn't that this? [03:46] arkanes: its a single file man. stop being a dork. [03:46] maube you're running XFree86 instead [03:46] no go here #ubuntu [03:46] jack-desktop: Canada. I forget the airport XXX for here.

[03:46] sorry ya youre in the right place [03:47] arkanes: maybe you should stop being an egg and realize that all that has changed, is A: New monitor, B: mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_OLD [03:47] someone slap me [03:47] * saturdayplace slaps jdh6403 [03:47] :) [03:47] jdh6403: please stop with the name calling, I realize you're frustrated, but thats not called for. [03:47] jdh6403: er.. forget that. [03:47] jsoftw: ^^ [03:47] lol [03:48] * jdh6403 huggles pici [03:48] L3ttuc3: what should I do? Try and re-download that specific package? [03:48] someone sent me their config file for their kernel but they compiled it as a 32 bit kernel, what settings do I need to change to make this a 64 bit kernel? [03:48] jsoftw: if your X configuration has changed, then you have a changed config file and you have restarted X to see it [03:48] arkanes: ahh uh [03:48] saturdayplace that would be an idea. [03:48] I'm trying to boot Feisty on a Dell Dimension 2350. I have Gutsy installed in it as well because I had the same problem with it. It freezes in the process of booting where the Ubuntu logo is and the orange progress bar appears. It hangs at around 10%. Pressing alt+F1 shows what it's doing, but all it shows is a series of numbers (going in order) and characters scrolling by really fast. Something like this "[421.453423] [] [03:48] arkanes: actually I moved the config file. [03:48] okay [03:48] arkanes: so there is no xorg.conf anymore. [03:48] that's not the same thing [03:48] As mentioned above. [03:48] jsoftw: have you restarted X since then? [03:49] yes, as I already mentioned. [03:49] I don't believe you [03:49] Thats your problem, _not_ mine. [03:49] is there an official fix for the flash problem? [03:49] jsoftw: your last /var/log/Xorg.0.log should show what config file its running out of. [03:49] or a .deb package floating somewhere? [03:49] possibly failsafe X saved you? [03:49] <[eW]DaRk|ubuntu> any ideas why i get this error when testing my mic?

[03:53] co-exist [03:53] the installation wizard should have an option to resize your existing partition [03:54] bra1: depending on your needs, wubi might be a good option [03:54] what do suspend and hybernate do? [03:54] ok, well the first thing you need to do is backup your data as unless you have a second harddrive or an empty partiton you will need to resize the one you have. And resizing has a slight risk of totally fubaring everything [03:54] L3ttuc3: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54174/ [03:54] hey all, im having some probs with samba and been able to write to it, i can log in as the user and see where i wanna b... this is what is in the config file...

[03:55] Guest_548: have you tried some different boot settings? [03:55] @Falstius: that's a hack. He's better off just sucking it up and learning partitions. :P [03:55] lanzelloth_: suspend is like sleep, hibernate writes your ram to the hard drive and shuts the computer down. When you start it back up you are back where you were, unsaved documents open and all [03:55] Where can I select different boot settings? [03:55] Or how, rather? [03:55] Did they remove Gnome from the 7.10-i36-alternate install? [03:55] jsoftw: it's the fancy new failsafe. Pretty impressive, too. The config it's using is inline in the logfile, you should be able to copy that to a new xorg.conf [03:56] I boot from HD if thats what you mean [03:56] bra1, Ubuntu can partition your drive for you automagically ( have any important data backed up as with any time you mess with partitions ) [03:56] alex_r: it works well, is easy and is safe. Perfect for experimenting. Once he likes ubuntu, he can wipe his windows install and do it all fresh. Traditional dual booting is archaic. [03:57] I've got important stuff backed up, working on it now [03:57] Anyone have experience with Wine(the emulator)? How do I increase the hard drive size? [03:57] thefool_: suspend/sleep = offs monitor, HDD? [03:57] Guest_548: there may be some specifics for your dell, but you could try noacpi in the boot string. You need to edit the grub line [03:57] Falstius, archaic is going a bit far [03:57] lanzelloth_ yep === khisanth_ is now known as Khisanth [03:57] @linchapulin: drive_c is just a folder under /home, so it should have as much as your home dir [03:57] thefool_: ok, thx === lanzelloth_ is now known as lanzelloth [03:57] hey all, im having some probs with samba and been able to write to it, i can log in as the user and see where i wanna b... this is what is in the config file...

[04:01] Guest_548: They also suggest that in the grub boot line using nosplash should help. [04:02] fluvvell, Are you trying to get full resolution from an intel GPU? [04:02] Really wish XChat wouldn't auto-connect me here... ah well. I'm here, aren't I? *idles* [04:02] fluvvel: okay i'll try that right now and get back to you. I'll be here. [04:02] Jordan_U: his dell cant get past the splash screen. [04:02] Jordan_U: mainly because I do a lot of experimenting in interpreters and would like to be able to grep through logs and see how I did this or that [04:03] Devinion you can turn that off. its probably selected by default in the networks list under the freenode network. or you put it there that way. [04:03] EADG_: thanks compiling it now [04:03] Devinion, That can be turned off, just connect directly to irc.freenode.net and stop auto joining to "ubuntu servers" [04:03] Guest_548: Also how much ram have you got? [04:04] 'k. I'll set that here in a bit [04:04] Thanks [04:04] fluvvell: 512 [04:04] how to cahnge wallpaper [04:04] thefool_, Ahh, if it's terminal based things use 'script' [04:04] Guest_548: ok [04:04] <[eW]DaRk|ubuntu> how do i get alsamixer? [04:05] [eW]DaRk|ubuntu, You shouldn't need to "get" it [04:05] [eW]DaRk|ubuntu: it's installed by default [04:05] Jordan_U: does that work when you enter an interpreter, a text editor, switch shells etc? I didn't think so [04:05] [eW]DaRk|ubuntu, just run "alsamixer" in a terminal [04:05] Halo [04:05] alex_r, I had a look at your pastebin, and there's no accept policy in the forward table. Not sure if that means anything. [04:05] [eW]DaRk|ubuntu, you mean alsamixergui?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [04:15] hmmmm..

[04:17] alex_r, that's over my head - I followed instructions to get mine to work - I know priority of rules is paramount [04:17] EADG: Nope [04:17] EADG: Should I restart my router? === _max193 is now known as max193 [04:17] Fluvvel: adding nosplash only caused it to freeze where it used to keep scrolling and numbers were increasing ( when i press alt f1 at progress bar) === Azer_ is now known as Azer [04:18] alex_r, as is whatever rule is first takes priority over all following rules [04:18] Jewfro-Macabbi - yeah, that much I figured out. I just don't know what rule to add for normal operations [04:18] DiceyDays: Naw, just ask for a new ip addy. sudo dhclient "nic name" eth1 for ex. [04:18] Is it possible to resize the hard drive partition that contains Xubuntu? [04:18] Thanks anyway, though. I'm just going to try iptables-save after flushing everything [04:19] does anyone know of a way to make just the terminal window semi transparent? so that you can see things underneath it? [04:19] hi [04:19] singlesun: which terminal? [04:19] hello [04:19] singlesun: xterm, konsole, gnome-terminal? [04:19] anybody can say me why ubuntu-es doesnt work typing /join ubuntu-es [04:19] alex_r, the main terminal window... bash. for Gnome [04:19] fluvvel: noapci does the same thing as nosplash [04:19] jesica: /j #ubuntu-es [04:19] alex_r, well - for example to allow all web traffic: sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT [04:19] someone said that they turned my computer intoo a bomb is that possible? [04:19] pici thank you [04:19] hello [04:20] someone said that they turned my computer intoo a bomb is that possible? [04:20] wat do i do to remove ir? [04:20] it [04:20] cgssa: not unless you saw them with a barrel of dynomite [04:20] cgssa: I don't see how they could do such a thing. [04:20] uh they said they could [04:20] anyone have any thoughts on how to make the Gnome terminal window semi transparent? [04:20] Jewfro-Macabbi: ok, I'll try that. but what about icp? that only seems to be tcp [04:20] alex_r, try adding this to the top of your iptables: sudo iptables -I INPUT 1 -i lo -j ACCEPT [04:20] and they [04:20] cgssa: do you have an ubuntu support question? [04:21] can I install ubuntu from a live usb instead of a live cd? [04:21] EADG: "renewal in 42208 seconds" Thats good right? [04:21] wtf am I talking about? what is icp anyway?? lol, ignore me [04:21] !install > j_humphrey (read the private message from ubotu) [04:21] DiceyDays: Aye [04:21] is ubuntu bomb proof?

I guess it will work after all those seconds are up? [04:22] jrib: are you the only ircop out of 1156 users? [04:22] hmm... ok, I got my wireless card driver working... I think. the blue light comes on now... but the network manager still does not give me the option to search for wireless networks. help please :( [04:22] Cgssa.....your computer comes preconfigured with a firewall,...nevermind nobody minds telling people shut up but explaining about firewalls isnt cool? lol [04:22] alex_r, I'm just looking through the detailed wiki at possible problems - what opens what and what needs to be first. [04:22] alex_r: no, he's not [04:22] alex_r, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo?highlight=%28ip%29%7C%28tables%29 [04:22] alex_r: no, there are many [04:23] does 7.10 come with grub? [04:23] Jewfro-Macabbi: don't spend any more time on it, though I appreciate it [04:23] is there anyway to make the Gnome terminal window semitransparent? [04:23] j_humphrey, yes [04:23] Hey, did someone named fire23 come in here? [04:23] i think so [04:23] DiceyDays: Hehe, no... that would be awhile to wait. The secs just mean the ip lisence will be renewed after that time. [04:23] thanks phuzion [04:23] I apologize for his idiocy. [04:23] ya [04:23] Kalir [04:23] must be chatZilla then [04:23] I'm playing a bit of a game with him. [04:23] singlesun, Yes, for true transparency you need to be using a composite manager though [04:23] i came back [04:23] to make it semitransparent install compiz [04:23] Kalir: he's the same as cgssa [04:23] singlesun: the whole window or the background? [04:23] alex_r, that's okay - I've been giving myself an education in networking lately trying to get all my stuff working - so I'm interested. [04:23] DiceyDays: As for the port not being reachable... not sure. [04:24] http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4233478&postcount=10 who knows what language that is, and understands it? [04:24] SEE HE DID PUT A BOMB [04:24] Huh. [04:24] anyone know how to make the network manager search for wireless networks? [04:24] programming language* [04:24] Anyway, I apologize for this. [04:24] Jordan_U, crdlb, i just need it slightly transparent so i can read the stuff i have typed underneath it from time to tiem [04:24] He's been bugging us at #uncyclopedia all day, and I'm just making the best of it. [04:24] singlesun: are you using compiz? [04:24] jack-desktop, It's bash [04:24] Not to push my question too much, but I would like to know if no one is answering because they don't know or if it isn't being answered because it is too busy in here... [04:24] please quit booting people for vanity reasons, its retarded, i was trying to tell cg about a firewall but before i could hit enter you threw em out for being a new user? [04:24] Jewfro-Macabbi - I've learned a lot, but I want to rip somebody's throat out right now. ****ing university wifi is locked down with WPA2-Enterprise, TTLS, Dynamic-WEP,2nd stage PAP... [04:25] Anyway, thanks for understanding. === EADG is now known as EADG_afk [04:25] crdlb, compiz decided to die on me today... lol... was in here earlier.... my libs are corrupted... [04:25] Jordan_U, do you understand it and can write/use it? [04:25] not to start a war or anything...but what are some of the better NNTP clients out there? Evolution won't work for me. [04:25] alex_r, my apologies - and I thought my evdo modem was challenging... [04:25] hey guys, it's getting late, and I can't find what I'm looking for on google. Anyone have any suggestions for original gutsy xorg.conf? [04:25] sathehand: I can say I didn't even see your question [04:25] EADG: Is there anything else I can do? [04:25] Jewfro-Macabbi: It's hard enough to get it to work with windows, and that's officially supported. infinitely harder to get it to work with network-manager, esp. with its bugs [04:25] singlesun: well you need compiz, so join #compiz-fusion and I'll try to help [04:25] crdlb, i will be reinstalling shortly but was hoping there was some other way to setup transparency while i see if i can fix this [04:26] jack-desktop, Glancing over it it seems simple enough, I have to leave soon though [04:26] Adelie43, would it be okay if I re-post? [04:26] csatlose: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg automatically saves a backup copy in /etc/X11. Is that what you used? [04:26] singlesun: you can't get real transparency without compiz (or kwin in kde4). you can get "fake" transparency, but it only shows the desktop [04:26] Be right back. [04:26] jack-desktop, It won't work with XGL BTW [04:26] tritium: I'm on a macbook and I changed xorg.conf to do tapping, but I don't like it. [04:26] sathehand: I know I don't mind [04:26] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:26] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:26] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:26] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:27] Jordan_U, why not? [04:27] singlesun, Or xcompmgr [04:27] csatlose: yes, but how did you change it? Manually? [04:27] that will regenerate a default xorg.conf [04:27] alex_r, set up a crappy win box with a crossover cable :) [04:27] enfo: no, it won't. No need to repeat, either. [04:27] !repeat [04:27] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

Also see !patience === jesica is now known as Neonato [04:27] sorry i mis-hit the enter [04:27] jack-desktop, The first line "export DISPLAY=:0" would need to be "export DISPLAY=:1" I think, but I havn't used XGL in a while [04:27] tritium: I changed it manually, backed it up, then messed up the original backup. [04:28] Jewfro-Macabbi - my win box is win2k, and it can't connect to the WiFi since the program is xp+. Hell, to have it connected I have to share the laptop connection wifi>wired! [04:28] csatlose: oh, that's unfortunate. [04:28] enfo: thanks, I'll try that [04:28] Jordan_U, this is for compiz fusion, does that include XGL? [04:28] csatlose: that won't restore the original. It'll guide you through a re-configure. [04:29] alex_r, sounds truly evil. Maybe consider paid service? lol actually evdo is pretty cheap now. [04:29] tritium: THat's fine, I can deal with resolutions. [04:29] alex_r, and dsl too [04:29] csatlose: good deal, then [04:29] tritium: enfo: thanks guys. [04:29] Jewfro-Macabbi: college dorm room, I have no choice [04:29] i think it's always a good idea to back that file up somewhere else [04:29] or have multiple copies of the original xorg.conf file [04:29] alex_r, most cell providers can give you service for about 30.00 bucks a month now - through your cell. [04:30] i need a gnome-based NNTP reader and evolution won't work. Any suggestions? === brandon__ is now known as B-_ [04:30] I paste copies of my xorg.conf file up around my town [04:30] Adelie43, it looks like my question was answered in the Xubuntu channel without me noticing it. Although the answer left me with additional questions. [04:30] so I always know it's available [04:30] gnurph69: what do you mean won't work? It doesn't suit your taste? [04:30] Jewfro-Macabbi: unless I rent an apartment off-campus, and get a mile-long ethernet cable.... which would probably be easier if not cheaper. $30/mo is high for a college student :P and my phone doesn't support anyway [04:30] jack-desktop, Compiz Fusion can be used with XGL but XGL is not installed by default. [04:30] gnurph69: Pan is pretty popular [04:30] jack-desktop, I have to go now :( [04:30] enfo: thanks, I'm already reconfiguring. will definitely save on an external drive too. [04:30] Jordan_U, ok, thanks for the help [04:30] tritium: the login wants to append the FQDN of the news server, and that's not the correct userID...and I can't get it to change. Ergo, no work. [04:31] alex_r, yeah that's true. I remember the bills... [04:31] nemilar: didn't see pan in synaptic. can you point the way? [04:31] gnurph69: oh, okay. It works in general, but not for your case... [04:31] tritium: I have to assume so. :) [04:31] * scorphus got a blackout [04:31] gnurph69: it does :) [04:32] gnurph69: I donno, the name of the package is just pan === B-_ is now known as brandon__ [04:33] simple queswtion how would i do more then 1 server in 1 X-Chat window?

I've got LDAP working on a server and I can connect to it on client, but I can't get anything out of search results [04:34] Darkmystere, if you look at the xchat selection you can go to new then server tab [04:34] I dont have a X-chat thing on this version of x-chat..

[04:46] czr just eavesdropping, but I tried that and the response I got was "nameserver 192.168.1.1" - does that mean my router is actually hosting a dns service? [04:46] tritium I have and found them useless [04:46] russ: probably [04:47] russ, if your router is 192.168.1.1, then yes. [04:47] I'm currently trying to install ubuntu and I selected to manually edit the partition. [04:47] russ, although it might just be a caching dns service, not a full blown DNS server like BIND for example. [04:47] tritium the files it says to edit come up as blanks for me [04:47] that's cool. [04:47] galacticone: which file is blank? Which URL are you trying to follow? [04:47] tritium: and why would you say that? is it a higher level one, does it have nice syntax, what? [04:47] tritium the god damm ubuntu wifi docs wpa page [04:47] hotmonkeyluv: yes to both [04:48] galacticone: calm down, and please don't use foul language here [04:48] tritium: I see [04:48] jrib, so just install the .deb from http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=53648&stc=1&d=1198033466 ?

[04:51] quick q, does anyone know if there is a tool to sync offline files for ubuntu from a samba share? kinda like windows? [04:51] galacticone: yes, I see there is an inconsistency with the wiki page and gutsy. Have you tried first to use Network Manager to setup wpa? It should "just work." [04:51] tritium it didnt just work at all [04:52] tritium it connected to another wireless network [04:52] how can I get to record my desktop with mencoder? [04:52] tritium the gnome netowkr manager is one of the worst programs ive seen, it reminds me alot of windows [04:52] galacticone: so, NM is working. That's a good start. [04:53] galacticone: please just double-check that wpasupplicant is installed. [04:53] guys, they say that I should mount a partition on /, does this refer to the partition I want ubuntu to be installed on? [04:53] Creedence, rsync if you like command line [04:53] tritium how do i do that? [04:53] galacticone: apt-cache policy wpasupplicant will list the installed version (if any) [04:53] ubuntuuserinneed: Yes [04:54] thanks spdf [04:54] czer323, that's cool, but is there a tool to automate it? I am looking to have files synced with my home server on my laptop [04:54] ubuntuuserinneed: / is the root file system [04:54] How do I get ascii extended characters to show up in gnome-terminal??????? [04:54] tritium its installed [04:54] Creedence, you can automate anything command line driven with a script [04:55] czr, true, but I am not quite at that level at the command line yet [04:55] czr, u know of anything GUI based? [04:55] galacticone: okay, good. So, when you attempt to connect, you choose your SSID? Do you know that the router is configured properly? (Perhaps another machine uses wpa with it successfully?) [04:55] guys, about the bootloader how do I ascertain that it's the correct device to install on? [04:55] tritium my windows machine connects to it great along with my mac [04:55] Creedence, I don't use GUI for that stuff, so no. But if you do 'apt-cache search synchronize', it should give you a list of packages that might be more of the kind that you're looking for [04:56] I need ascii characters for working in the terminal [04:56] -__- [04:56] czr, cool [04:56] tritium the windows machine is my dual boot windows and ubuntu [04:56] czr, thanks for your help! much appreciated [04:56] galacticone: good. So what happens when you setup NM to connect to it? [04:56] you know this is dumb lol works perfectly fine in windows [04:56] Creedence, once you find a package that looks promising, use apt-cache show to display more information about it [04:56] tritium it just doesnt work or stalls for a long period of time [04:56] Creedence, or you the graphical package manager, different front end, same database :-) [04:56] ubuntuuserinneed: Are you installing to your primary HD? [04:56] you=use even. [04:57] spdf: thats exactly it, I'm not sure if this is the primary HD. [04:57] galacticone: have you looked at logs in /var/log/? /var/log/daemon.log is a good start [04:57] tritium basically its incredibly buggy [04:57] I mean, in the BIOS I set it to load this one first, and on the mobo its the first sata port [04:57] galacticone: it works well for many people. [04:57] but it shows up as SCSI3 on ubuntu [04:57] tritium i wouldnt know what anything in those logs means [04:57] and sdb [04:57] ubuntuuserinneed: If its set to load that one first, then its the primary, so that should be where grub is install [04:57] galacticone: there may be some other underlying issue here in your case.

I've got LDAP working on a server and I can connect to it on client, but I'm not getting consistent ldapsearch results from client/server [05:00] scorphus: in "Appearance" preferences, you have "None" selected for effects? [05:00] mazev: there are some packages missing, when I do metacity --raplace it works [05:00] czer323, happens quite often to me too :-) [05:00] hotmonkeyluv: in what context? ubuntu? yes. open source? Job market? [05:00] jrib: yes [05:00] Quick question, I am looking for a search engine that uses live people to search for u [05:01] I know it exists any idea what the site is? [05:01] !offtopic | j3s3r [05:01] j3s3r: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [05:01] hotmonkeyluv, a lot of the more interesting environments (science/research) use python a lot [05:01] tritium: I'm just looking for a lingo that'll be fun to learn, easy to use, powerful, and in demand. [05:01] hola alguien me puede decir como uso mi escaner [05:01] tritium: I like science [05:01] spdf: hello? [05:01] hotmonkeyluv, although you should probably ask the question on #python instead [05:01] !es | klan-chuki-dialo [05:01] klan-chuki-dialo: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [05:02] hotmonkeyluv: don't we all? [05:02] tritium: Is there a good program for writing code in? I've used gedit once, seemed ok for bash scritps [05:02] ok [05:02] tritium is there anything else I can do?? [05:02] spdf: I used to use windows, I encountered some problems that I cannot ascertain, so I'm trying to use ubuntu to see if the problems occur here too, and perhaps find if there are diagnostic tools for linux that can see what the problem is [05:02] tritium will wireless ever work for my laptop? [05:02] mazev, jrib: this is a gutsy server, and I needed to install graphical environment, so I just did "aptitude install gdm" and got this. Looks like there is some crucial package missing [05:03] galacticone: you've already shown that it works (with another wireless network) [05:03] wireless works on my laptop [05:03] hotmonkeyluv: yes, there are several IDEs available. [05:03] scorphus, a graphcal enviroment is the X windows enviroment [05:03] k little help here.. [05:03] tritium well it is right now [05:03] scorphus, aptitude install ubuntu-desktop = full graphical environment [05:03] ubuntuuserinneed: Just install grub to whichever you're booting first (in this case, the hd you installed to)... if its sdb, then its like (1,0) [05:03] soldats: right, you know what I mean [05:04] ubuntuuserinneed: its likely* [05:04] tritium im speaking to you with it [05:04] scorphus, gdm is just the graphical login/display manager. [05:04] scorphus, look at what czr wrote you [05:04] tritium: thanks for the tips, I'll ask in #python about the ide [05:04] czr: I don't need all of those extra 400+ packages, do I? [05:04] i have to search an entire server for a bunch of wav files all with "SDM" in their name, what's the syntax for ls to do that? [05:04] galacticone: so, it definitely works. wireless chipsets that require ndiswrapper are sometimes problematic [05:04] scorphus, if you're lazy, yes. if not, it's going to be painful :-) [05:04] hotmonkeyluv: good luck [05:05] czr: I don't feel like I'm lazy [05:05] :) [05:05] Jangari, locate *SDM*.wav [05:05] scorphus, you could try xubuntu-desktop instead [05:05] scorphus, you probably don't need all those packages but it will save you time [05:05] just need some tips... [05:05] (1,0) ? [05:05] tritium: thanks! [05:05] soldats: can't I do it with ls -R? [05:05] scorphus, most servers don't use gui [05:05] tritium Im looking at my logs and its showing Im not putting in the right wireless key [05:06] Jangari, ls -R list all dirs recursivvely [05:06] galacticone: ah, hopefully it's something simple like that! [05:06] tritium my wireless key is case sensitive how can I be sure Im adding it correctly? [05:06] partition #2 of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sdb) as ext3 partition #1 of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sdb) as swap <--- so what do I type into the advanced window? [05:06] or can't you specify substrings with ls? [05:06] Jangari, you might want to use 'find' instead. ls is not meant to search [05:06] mazev: yeah, correct. this was installed by xen-tools, and I imagine it uses a server distro. But I need gui to test my software (phpeclipse) on ubuntu, as many users report problems with it [05:06] Jangari, not sure i use ls for basic stuff the right way to do it is with the locate command [05:06] hello i can't see my ubuntu box's hostname, but ip works ok.. [05:06] galacticone: NM lets you view the key you enter. There's a little radio button or check box for that. [05:06] okay, ta [05:07] I'm just not sure what device I should fill in. [05:07] ok thanks [05:07] I tried hd3 earlier(since scsi3) and I got a fatal error [05:07] como entro a ubuntu es [05:07] klan-chuki-dialo: /join #ubuntu-es [05:07] graxs [05:07] hey there, any know Why i when i logon in ubuntu i dont have internet?, but after doing this 'sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0' then i have internet [05:08] hmm, i'm just getting the same "no file or directory" error [05:08] cvd: you evidently have it configured in /etc/network/interfaces, but don't have it listed as "auto" [05:08] Jangari, what are you trying to do? [05:09] cvd: if you completely commented it out in /etc/network/interfaces, Network Manager should take care of it manually for you [05:09] search an entire server, 4TB odd, for a coupld of .wav files that begin with SDM, czr [05:09] viw ssh [05:09] via* [05:09] Jangari, have you external mounts on the server? (NFS, CIFS, etc?) [05:09] no, tunneling in [05:09] if not, find / -iname "sdm*wav" [05:10] and add 2> /dev/null to the end of that [05:10] since you're not interested in error messages === rat32 is now known as Palace_Chan [05:10] i dont know what you are talking about [05:10] if you have a lot of file, it will take a long time JanC [05:10] sorry, Jangari. [05:10] meh, it's a powerful server, and it's only harvesting filenames, surely [05:11] Jangari, that command will cause each directory contents to be loaded from the disk(s) [05:11] "find /", can I begin it at a particular point? say "find /r0/d0/"? [05:11] Jangari, and directory contents are scattered around the disk area(s), so the disk will need to seek a lot -> takes long time. [05:11] Jangari, yes. [05:11] Jangari, it [05:11] cvd: what part do you need more explanation for? [05:11] it's a very powerful tool. [05:12] so how to make ubuntu do this automaticaly when i logon 'sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 [05:12] Why does Ubuntu provide no DEB program package for JaLingo? (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jalingo) [05:12] cvd: I told you already [05:12] bullgard4, does debian provide a deb-package for it? [05:13] let me check [05:13] czr: Is that all that you can contribute to answer my question? [05:13] tritium: hrm, it's saying i need to be identified to enter #python. what's that mean? [05:13] hotmonkeyluv, register you nick [05:13] bullgard4, no. [05:13] hello all [05:13] bullgard4: because there are hundreds of other softwares that other people one, and it's majority and popularity rule for which packages ubuntu decides to include in it's repos. [05:13] alright, " find /r0/d0/ *SDM*.wav" returned everything on the server [05:13] everything... [05:13] soldats: with /msg nickserv? [05:13] hello? Can anyone help me? [05:13] so (hd1,0) ? [05:13] Jangari, find /r0/d0 -iname "sdm*wav" [05:14] !ask | me [05:14] me: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [05:14] me is beyond help [05:14] iname, eh? [05:14] !register | hotmonkeyluv [05:14] hotmonkeyluv: 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 [05:14] this is what i have: auto lo [05:14] Jangari, yes. that's a find "predicate" (search term).

[05:14] bon [05:14] hotmonkeyluv, /msg nickserv register [05:14] bullgard4: you are more than welcome to compile your own package for your own personal use using an application called checkinstall [05:14] so what does 'find' do without that iname option? search for everything? [05:14] cvd: don't paste here [05:14] I was using Fiesty and now upgraded my desktop to gutsy from that day i am facing problem of high cpu usage due to kacpid [05:14] hey, I want to install ubuntu but my pc keep entering sleep mode =/ [05:14] its not to much [05:15] cvd: yes, it is [05:15] me, are you on a liveCD? [05:15] I am not getting whats a problem? [05:15] so i paste one line at time [05:15] Jangari, it interprets all parameters as the directory names where to start search from [05:15] so who has a few minutes and wouldn't mind answering a couple of questions about a dual boot? [05:15] cvd: no, you won't [05:15] Jangari, and without any predicates (search terms) it will display names of everything it finds from those directories === benzs_s is now known as benzss [05:15] !ask | UnWorthy [05:15] so its already done.. its say auto [05:15] UnWorthy: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [05:16] only my monitor enters sleep mode. My pc keep doing noises [05:16] ty [05:16] okay czr, so what i said earlier " find /r0/d0/ *SDM*.wav", will search for everything underneath /r0/d0, and then anything under "*SDM*.wav"? [05:16] cvd: why do you have it listed at all? Try commenting out all lines associated with eth0, and let Network Manager handle it for you. [05:16] i downloaded the cd from de ubuntu site [05:16] !ask how to get ubuntu to run from ntldr or XP to run from grub [05:16] 7.10 for amd 64 [05:16] Jangari, yes, assuming the shell can find any names that fill that pattern. if the shell cannot, it will pass the parameter directly to find, which will think it's a dir name where to search from. [05:16] i dont now its ubuntu i dont do anything [05:16] lol, unworthy [05:16] UnWorthy: When you install Ubuntu (and GRUB with it) you'll have an entry for XP [05:17] really? [05:17] entry? [05:17] Jangari, in unix, it is the command shell that expands *? and other characters, before the program that you're starting even sees them. [05:17] whats this you speak of? [05:17] i.e., i ask it to search for everything inside the directory /r0/d0, which comprises about 3TB of space, that was silly of me' [05:17] UnWorthy: A selection at your GRUB menu. So you can boot to XP or Ubuntu [05:17] cvd: System -> Administration -> Network, and make sure the connection has roaming mode enabled [05:17] yay! i'm now registered! I feel complete, my life now has meaning!!! [05:17] Jangari, if you want a list of everything, find /r0/d0 is your friend ;-) [05:17] well see when I installed ubuntu it killed my mbr [05:17] its i check roaming the connection dont work [05:17] where can I find a list of different ubuntus like kubuntu, xubuntu etc..? [05:18] ha [05:18] UnWorthy, if you installed xp first, then Ubuntu next, there will automatically be an option to boot XP from grub [05:18] Jangari: http://wooledge.org:8000/UsingFind [05:18] YeTr2: Thank you for providing me that information. [05:18] pity it's about 100,000 lines ling [05:18] long* [05:18] when I tried to run XP from grub my hal was gone! [05:18] HAL WAS GONE [05:18] thanks jetscreamer [05:18] Someone asked about dual booting. You should check out Wubi. Wubi-Installer.org Like 2 or 3 clicks from inside windows and you have a dual boot scenario. [05:18] jangari, do you know how to solve this sleep monitor problem? [05:18] 2 or 3 clicks [05:18] run the liveCD, me [05:19] how [05:19] ? [05:19] that's the only way to install [05:19] brb [05:19] anyone else having flakey internet? [05:19] Something like that. Less than 10 me thinks. [05:19] JohnRobert: ubuntu.com [05:19] i boot the cd [05:19] put it in the cd drive and restart, by default a bootable cd will be the first device to boot [05:19] me: sorry, are you saying that you can't see anything when you try to boot off the live cd? [05:19] anyone got WINS working on ubuntu? [05:19] or how i can restart it [05:19] oh, you have booted? [05:19] i did it [05:19] i have winbind [05:19] yeap [05:19] I don't want to run "wubi" I want to run UU 1.6 [05:20] so you're on ubuntu now? [05:20] does anyone know why my RAM shows up as 1004MB and not 1024MB in the system monitor? [05:20] nope, on xp [05:20] my problem was grub killed my hal.dll [05:20] how do I stop it from doing that? [05:20] ubuntuuserinneed: video card could be using memory [05:20] getting information to boot again and install ubuntu [05:20] me: Okay, so it sounds like Ubuntu isn't detecting your monitor resolution correclty [05:20] me, do you want to install ubuntu? [05:20] ubuntuuserinneed, probably you have an integrated video on your motherboard and BIOS has reserved some memory for that [05:20] do you want to keep your xp stuff? [05:20] musikgoat: I have a dedicated video card. [05:20] err [05:21] musikgoat/czr [05:21] dreamnid: how do I solve this oO? [05:21] how do I not get grub to kill my hal.dll? [05:21] jangari: don't have to. Its a new pc, not much stuff here [05:21] ubuntuuserinneed, what does 'free' say about total Mem? (just the one number) [05:21] anyone?

[05:22] hi [05:22] can anyone help me [05:22] dreamnid: if i lower the resolution, the installation will proceed? [05:22] oh, i see, when you boot from liveCD the monitor keeps blacking out? i probably won't be able to help you [05:22] aparently its working, tritium [05:22] i've installed mirc on wine [05:22] :-) [05:22] cvd: good [05:22] me: ah... how do you plan to lower the resolution? [05:23] jangari: thanks for the good will anyway =] [05:23] czr: under total? [05:23] I've deleted the mirc but it is still there on the programs tab [05:23] 1028412 [05:23] dreamnid: i'll try that out [05:23] ubuntuuserinneed, yes. Mem - row, Total column. [05:23] me: You can F6 and make some changes there [05:23] me, how long before your screen 'sleeps'? [05:23] so my hal.dll just vanished? and it had nothing to do with ubuntu? [05:23] me: I mean, when you boot it, does it let you choose the resolution? [05:23] me: unless you're talking about changing it in XP, which won't help [05:23] UnWorthy: it has nothing to do with grub, most certainly. [05:24] ubuntuuserinneed, that looks quite normal. some of the low memory cannot be reclaimed and some memory is reserved by the BIOS for various tables it builds on boot [05:24] czr: thing is that I have 1024MB of RAM. 2x512 sticks [05:24] what could cause it? [05:24] UnWorthy: could you have two locations that have a windows install? [05:24] no just 1 [05:24] jangari:as soon as i press "enter" in "install ubuntu" ((first option)) [05:24] and it shows up in windows... [05:24] hmm? [05:24] I installed ubuntu on my 2nd HD [05:24] 2nd part on the 2nd HD [05:24] jangari: and if i press "install with updates" to [05:24] too* [05:24] low memory? mem reserved by bios... [05:24] odd [05:25] ubuntuuserinneed, if you want really accurate picture, use dmidecode [05:25] lol heres a good question which should I install windows vista ultimate or ubuntu ultimate 1.6? hehe [05:25] i've uninstall mirc on wine, but the mirc tab on programs is still there how can i remove it [05:25] ubuntuuserinneed, it can show you how many sticks you have, and all kinds of low level info IF you really want to see it (run with sudo) [05:25] any site to download usplashs? [05:25] dreamnid: yes, on the boot i can set the resolution. gonna put 640x 480 or lower oO [05:25] me: ok, good luck :-) [05:25] UnWorthy: You used ubuntu ultimate? That could be the reason. Who knows. Get an official version of ubuntu and try that. Of course, it won't bring back a missing file. [05:25] UnWorthy: you do not want "ubuntu ultimate" [05:26] dreamnid: thx =D [05:26] oboy03: How did you remove it? Uninstall or just delete it. #Winehq has answers for most wine issues [05:26] no this was was ubuntu fiesty fawn [05:26] whats wrong with ultimate??

[05:31] UnWorthy: GRUB is much easier. Especially with Ubuntu updates. And GRUB boots windows just as well as NTLDR [05:31] ubuntuuserinneed: Windows XP's silly little bootloader [05:31] yeah it just that damn hal.dll problem... [05:31] UnWorthy, ntldr is boot loader with its own quirks [05:31] happen my first time trying to dual with ubuntu... [05:32] well, ntldr can be used to chainload grub [05:32] UnWorthy: Thats independant of GRUB. Somehow you lost that file. [05:32] Quick question.... is there any program like the Network Manager applet in Gnome for KDE? Because for some reason, when using KDE even though it finds my network it wont allow me to connect to it [05:32] Cpudan80: the insane one that didn't allow me to dual boot if I installed windows afterward you mean.

[05:35] Elda: You can get better answers to kde questions in #Kubuntu [05:35] kk, thanks :) [05:35] lets hope the installer doesn't screw up now [05:35] UnWorthy, its up to you whether you're interested in the latest and greatest or just look for the three years of support (the LTS thingy) [05:35] and what are the order of ops for my install...I have XP on c:\ and I want to install ubuntu to the 2nd partition of my d: [05:35] YAY NO FATAL ERROR [05:36] UnWorthy, usually sooner or later you upgrade anyway [05:36] well I'm really interested in beryl and compiz [05:36] hi, guys [05:36] can someone point me to a good faq for my situation... [05:36] UnWorthy: they've merged into one project: compiz-fusion [05:36] UnWorthy: the "missing hal.dll" message is really misleading. it usually means your partition layout has changed enough that boot.ini isn't pointing to the right place anymore. hal.dll is "missing" because boot.ini sent it looking on the wrong partition. [05:36] nothing's broken. just confused. [05:37] UnWorthy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo [05:37] yeah [05:37] ah thats vista... [05:37] eww [05:37] few weeks go we've started moving some of our servers from rhel4 to ubuntu server (7.10)... [05:37] Missing hal.dll can be easily fixed from the restore console. [05:37] Search for it on the MS site. [05:37] fixmbr? [05:37] during this week three servers crashed [05:37] hal.dll has nothing to do with your MBR [05:37] scoundrel, what HW? [05:37] it's getting past the MBR or you wouldn't be seeing that error [05:38] UnWorthy: please remember the !enter reminder [05:38] all of them with the same problem - processes started invoking OOM-killer and server was down. [05:38] sry, why would ubuntu kill hal.dll? [05:38] czr: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5420, 12-16GB RAM [05:38] UnWorthy: we already explained: It *didn't* kill hal.dll [05:38] I don't think ubuntu had anything to do with it. [05:39] well it was grub or ubuntu [05:39] I have customers with the mysterious hal.dll problem all the time with one partition and no ubuntu. [05:39] UnWorthy: no, it was neither [05:39] because it goes from fine to shit in seconds [05:39] sry language... [05:39] !language | UnWorthy [05:39] UnWorthy: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [05:39] scoundrel, hmm. you're using the correct kernel for that amount of mem? [05:39] scoundrel, i.e., does 'free' see all of the mem on those systems? [05:39] GTFYGYGYGYGY [05:40] Current System Configuration —I-n-v-i-s-i-o-n— [05:40] Operating System: Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 2 up for 1 days, 7 hours, 28 minutes 30 seconds [05:40] CPU/RAM: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz with Currently 464 of 2048MB in use which is 22.66% [05:40] Storage System: n/a Internet Connection: n/a [05:40] Display System: 512MB Radeon X1650 Series (Omega 3.8.442) using a Plug and Play monitor at 1280 by 1024 32bit color 60Hz refresh [05:40] czr: 2.6.22-14-server, it sees all memory we have (PAE) [05:40] UnWorthy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:40] UnWorthy: this would NOT be a Ubuntu (or Linux for that matter) issue. I have had "hal.dll" mysteriously vanish within Virtual Machines, several times [05:40] linuxchick? [05:40] WE [05:40] scoundrel, ok. have you tracked whether there's a single process/program that is responsible for the OOM or the memory leak is on the kernel side? [05:40] really? just vanish? [05:40] TAI [05:40] ANJING [05:40] UnWorthy: well its a bit more complex then that, [05:41] well then I'll install ubuntu right now...but first I'm going to read that fixmbr on ms' site [05:41] how so WGGMK? thats what seemed to happen to mine... [05:41] UnWorthy: in my case, it was adding/removing software/hardware to the Virtual Machine.. My hardware configuration might have changed to fubar the installation.. This would be a windows specific issue though. [05:41] scoundrel, sry, have to run (to office), hope you find a solution to the problem though. you might ask official ubuntu support? [05:41] jangari? [05:41] czr: I have logs here but wan't able to log in to the server to check things out. Anyways, on a 12gb machine one process simply could not saturate all memory. [05:41] what version of VMware do you use? [05:41] dreamnid? [05:42] or do you use something other than vmware? [05:42] scoundrel, agreed, especially since you have PAE (32-bit) [05:42] UnWorthy: VMWare Server (the newest I suppose) [05:42] scoundrel, and processes are still limited to 4GiB each with PAE. [05:42] is it better than infastruture? [05:42] scoundrel, I was thinking more of a longer term historical data collection/graphing about different processes and how memory usage evolves (ala rrdtool) [05:42] me? [05:42] UnWorthy: regardless of what "caused" the problem (that you will have to narrow down yourself) the fix is to use the Windows disc to either repair or restore [05:42] UnWorthy, join #vmware [05:43] Why do you think that hal.dll has something to do with the MBR? I'm not following that part. [05:43] well I'ma retard [05:43] czr: this is what I'm doing now - setting up monitoring of memory, cpu, etc for all these boxes [05:43] thats why it has something to do with it [05:43] UnWorthy: as far as the differences, I cant help you out, Ive only used Workstation & Server.. Like czr: said, you'll get more info out of #vmware [05:43] kk thanks === Evan_ is now known as eahls [05:44] I'm trying to find more information about a problem a friend had when he tried to install ubuntu. He chose the guided installation to resize his existing windows partition. The installer removed his windows vista partition and installed using all the space. When it was finished, his computer would not boot, as if the boot loader had not been installed. Why would it do that? [05:44] UnWorthy: the MBR would not effect hal.dll (Hardware Abstraction Layer) [05:44] I know hal.dll doesn't have anything to do with the MBR but I was reading somewhere that a fixmbr would help... [05:44] scoundrel, good luck, that's what I'd start doing as well (dmesg not showing anything interesting probably either). you might also take a look at slabinfo and the kernel memory usage stuff. it could be a kernel memory leak as well. [05:44] Shuggle: which is it? If he choise the resize, it wouldn't remove the existing partition. [05:44] scoundrel, but I'll have to afk, so hope you find the culprit [05:44] but now that I thinka bout it...maybe was fixin another problem... [05:45] | "R(#MF `< "!!~ ~<9XN#$$XX<: | [05:45] | "%/9" x~ :L XH?R?M$$$x% | [05:45] oops. sorry. [05:45] Hi. Using Synaptic, I removed Evolution. Now when I log in, I get a blank screen. Can this be fixed without having to reinstall ubuntu all over again. [05:45] UnWorthy: i dont see how it would... if your missing hal.dll your missing hal.dll.. fixing a Master Boot Record does nothing but effect a boot record. [05:45] UnWorthy, I dont know where I read it but I've heard that hal.dll is an issue with certain distros, from what I can recall try just copying the hal.dll from the windows CD back to C:/Windows/(system32? Idk) [05:45] UnWorthy: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314477 [05:45] WGGMk: it's just because his partiton map has changed, boot.ini is out of date. he just needs to start the recovery console, remove boot.ini, and bootcfg /rebuild. it's nothing to do with ubuntu. he just happens to have changed partitions in the process [05:46] UnWorthy: Method 2 on that page almost always works. [05:46] tritium: He chose to resize since he specifically needed his windows installation. The installer then acted as if he chose to delete all data on the disk and then didnt install grub === cpk1_ is now known as cpk1 [05:46] soneil: as I said in one of my previous messages.. Linux (or any other OS) that is on a separate partition wouldnt effect each other [05:47] Shuggle: he must have made a mistake in his choice. The installer doesn't do that. [05:47] soneil: as far as the boot.ini being out of date. your prolly right about that [05:47] is there a way to install ubuntu without burning it to a cd ? The cd drive on my laptop is broken and I have windows. [05:47] WGGMk: resizing and/or moving the parition will cause the boot.ini partition path to not be set correct causing the "missing hal.dll" error [05:48] eahls: you can install it to a USB stick and boot from USB or you can order FREE CD's from ubuntu.com [05:48] WGGMk: yeah, it's not one OS affecting the other. it's just windows freaking out because the disk layout has changed. it's world has disappeared from beneath it's feet. and it doesn't like that [05:48] I need to invest in a usb extension or actually do something and connect the front ports on my computer. [05:49] ok thanks, im going to try getting to load off my usb drive [05:49] soneil: xGeek: if im not mistaken, a similar thing happens with other hardware components in Windows as well correct? [05:49] Well, if you are all busy with another topic, I'll come back another time. But I'll ask one more time: Using Synaptic, I removed Evolution. Now when I log in, I get a blank screen. Can this be fixed without having to reinstall ubuntu all over again? [05:49] mmm guys I'm playing around with OpenGL via PyGame and on feisty I couldnt get the text to draw from this example http://www.disruption.ca/gutil/example3/example3b.html to work, after a clean install of the latest Ubuntu distro all works fine, does anybody know which package was not functioning correctly? I'd like to know as I have a gentoo system that also has the same problem and a complete update of the system might take days [05:49] :E [05:49] Orion1257: what else besides Evolution was removed? [05:50] I just removed packages that referenced Evolution, so it was more than one package. But I don't remember which ones. [05:50] WGGMk: I suppose. Not sure what you mean by hardware though. === adante_ is now known as adante [05:51] xGeek: well I know if there's too many changes to the hardware config you have to re-activate windows sometimes [05:51] tritium: That's the first thing that I thought. With my experience, I had no problem configuring both of my system as dual boot. I was wondering if this might be some sort of bug that I would need to guard for when attempting another set up on his system. (he still wants ubuntu, if he can get it without losing all his data.. again) [05:51] I just got this bad feeling that Gnome was using something I removed. [05:51] WGGMk: That's WGA. A completely different monster. [05:51] WGGMk: Windows is not a nice OS to work with. [05:51] Orion1357: thats not a very good way to uninstall an application (for future reference) [05:52] Shuggle, if in doubt back up the entire hard drive (if your anything like me or most of my geek friends, having ~250gb of free space is not rare) [05:52] xGeek: ahh.. havent used windows (other then a coaster) for some times [05:52] Thanks. But I guess I'm still in learning mode here. [05:52] *time [05:52] anyone here?? [05:52] WGGMk: I make a lot of money fixing very simple stuff on windows machines. [05:52] If the bad news is I must do a total reinstall, just say so. [05:52] WGGMk: can also be a hassle too though. [05:52] on the http://www.ubuntu.com/ site when downloading whats the part about the alternate ""LIVE"" desktop CD all about [05:52] no neo all 1135 of the members are away [05:53] fragged_: fortunately, he has complete backups all the way through monday afternoon [05:53] hehe,this is the first time i use IRC!:) [05:53] Orion1357: every starts somewhere.. the quick solution would be to hit CTRL+ALT+F1 (which will bring you to a command line) log in.. shutdown gnome ("sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop") and reinstall Evolution (need help with package name) [05:53] Thanks fragged [05:53] xGeek: I deal with enough Windows at work.. 2003 server's crashing every other week.. [05:53] Tried that. "sudo apt-get install evolution" [05:54] yeah if you take your ram out and put it back in you can to reactivate windows... [05:54] But I got an error [05:54] loltto, 'live' cds are cds that run entirely off the CD there does not need to be any data transferred to or from the hard drive... they are generally slow and jolty, like when the CD spins down and you run a program it can take a while for it to load [05:54] have to* [05:54] Orion1357: which was? [05:54] WGGMk: I know this is cliche, but I tell all my clients to reboot their 2k3 servers every friday. [05:54] "could not resolve us.archive.ubuntu.com" [05:54] xGeek: lol.. do you have RDP5 login's at all? ever get that "resource or domain not available"?? [05:54] you guys are the uber g33ks <3 you talk you do ubuntu tech support for fun <4 [05:55] WGGMk, I work somewhere with Windows 2k3 servers and they seem relatively stable unless you can blame them from power outages caused by crappy lines... [05:55] fragged_>can a live cd have the option of installing to hard drive or just runs of cdrom??? [05:55] WGGMk: no but I get disconnected a lot. [05:55] fragged_: servers without UPSes is just silly [05:55] Orion1357: I assume your on a different machine? is the ubuntu machine connected? try pinging google? sudo apt-get update first then try again [05:55] loltto, some do, some tell you they do and dont, and some just dont, unsure about Ubuntu [05:55] WGGMk: "protocol error" I still haven't figured that one out. [05:56] No. On same machine. Have a XP/Ubuntu dual boot. [05:56] soneil, 20 servers, not enough UPS to last out an entire weekend (and THAT would be just silly) [05:56] so can someone do me a huge favor....find the ms support that talks about fixing hal.dll errors....WGGMk.... [05:56] fragged_: this would be open to debate.. i work at a VERY large distribution center.. and those servers process a LOT of date.. which anyone can tell you Windows is particularly bad at data processing [05:56] Maybe the server was down temporarily? [05:56] since it's soooo easy [05:56] UnWorthy: I sent you a link to the fix earlier. [05:56] fragged_: just expensive in that case [05:57] UnWorthy: as i can give you advice, im not going to do legwork for you. several people have given you solutions.. sorry if this sounds harsh [05:57] sry could I have it again? [05:57] UnWorthy: this channel is for ubuntu support. PLease see ##windows for your request. [05:57] WGGMk, Dont get me wrong, I'm not saying that windows is the best software for all tasks, but usually crappy programs are the cause to an unstable server, both in windows and *nix [05:57] thank tritium....sry [05:57] xGeek: im not really sure how Windows can get away with leaving error's vauge and general as they do [05:57] UnWorthy, or google, you know, if you KNOW how to google === chiriri is now known as Elda [05:58] fragged_: im with you on that one.. and we do have some "crappy" software [05:58] WGGMk: For one error microsoft.com normally has 3 - 6 'solutions' [05:58] fragged_: but software crashing and the entire OS locking up are different issues [05:58] WGGMk: sometimes none of which work [05:59] WGGMk, the entire system locking up can be caused by drivers, or just bad hardware, I've seen windows systems run for months [05:59] xGeek: by any chance, have you taken any MS's courses.. inparticular the MSCA course? i nearled laughed when they were teaching it [05:59] is there a good program to make those restore cds that come with new computers, but for linux? === rat32 is now known as Palace_Chan [05:59] WGGMk: I took A+ and I'm working on my bachelors. I think I'm going to skip MS and go for my CCNA. [05:59] err... can I make restore cds for linux/raw partitions? [05:59] http://support.etechnologyit.net/Customer/KBArticle.aspx?articleid=25 [06:00] xGeek: i dont get how MS says this is the way it WILL work.. when you can have millions of different combinations of hardware that can radically change the environment so it DOESNT work MS's way [06:00] who thinks this hal.dll fix is correct? [06:00] on that link [06:00] xGeek: i would recommend CCNA over any MS course.. if you happen to get Security+ and Network+ cert's.. they will be highly respected over any MS cert [06:00] I'm trying to "auto-mount" my windows network shared folder with samba by adding this line to fstab: //main/music /media/music cifs auto,credentials=/home/thirso/.smbpasswd,workgroup=MSHOME,gid=smb,uid=1000,file_mode=700,dir_mode=700,rw 0 0 . But i keep getting this error message: WARNING: 'file_mode' not expressed in octal. [06:01] xGeek: add Server+ in there [06:01] WGGMk: Agreed. I would prefer not the be stuck in a windows environment later on in life. [06:01] xGeek I'm taking a college class for my A+ and Net+ :) [06:01] half way through A+ [06:02] fragged_: i have a home server running Linux amd64 that needed to be restarted because my ISP dropped out.. figure that one out [06:02] WGGMk: I'm currently the IT manager for a small firm that runs nothing but apple. It has definitely been a much nicer experience than some of my 2k3 server clients. [06:02] xGeek: ok, that concludes our conversation.. i have a bane for Apple's [06:02] •xGeek• how much experience did you put on your resume? [06:02] just the A+? [06:02] WGGMk: haha.. I don't like apples. I deal with them because they make me money. [06:03] WGGMk: They are over priced. However, being based on BSD and from experience I think they run much cleaner than any MS OS. [06:03] How do I go about recompiling a kernel with an additional module(ieee1394)? Is there somewhere that has a good tutorial? [06:03] xGeek: i deal with them because Apple says we have to deal with them.. they are nice.. run smooth.. i cry at compatibily with others.. and lets face it.. Apple's a bit behind the times as far as software updates (bleeding edge rather) [06:04] WGGMk: very much so. [06:04] xGeek, I agree that least no anti-virus or too much malware [06:04] alojasss [06:04] una preguntonta [06:04] WGGMk: in my opinion apple doesn't sell software. they are a hardware vendor who happens to have a proprietary OS. [06:04] •xGeek• you sound like your doing alright for just an A+ [06:05] instale los drivers de nvidia en ubuntu 7.10 [06:05] y ahora la pantalla es como que esta mas grande el desktop que el monitor :P [06:05] xGeek: if they went open source.. i think MS would be in serious trouble [06:05] UnWorthy: I put all of my freelance work on my resume and have lots of good local business references. [06:05] WGGMk, I dont understand why your telling me to figure it out? I'd assume it'd be an issue with the network, be that software or hardware, being so vague doesnt help, and the fact that I'm relatively new to linux (one year) doesnt make me a know all. What I do know is that I'm sick of these blatant fanboy attacks on other operating systems, sure most people here probbably prefer a linux environment, and mac users enjoy theres, bu [06:05] t windows (bar vista) is actually pretty good at most basic tasks, and is also easier for small businesses where nobody has a clue about linux (if even heard of it before). [06:05] y para llegar a los lados es como que corro la pantalla con el mouse [06:05] I cant get VMware Workstation to run... [06:05] ahh very good...see I have no experience....experience is...it [06:07] ...Could some 1 help me i cant get VMware Workstation to Run? [06:07] !es | naitse [06:07] naitse: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [06:07] fragged_: will all respect, im not a fanboy. I HAVE to deal with several different OS's on daily bases.. and FROM MY EXPERIENCES with them, being workstation or server or thin client. Ive had more trouble with Windows then any other OS out there [06:07] fragged_: I don't consider myself a fanboy at all. However the flaw in your argument is this: small business need to do very simple tasks such as send email and use office applications. Linux or X whether it be KDE or Gnome has the ability to put icons on the desktop the same as windows. I don't see the difference. [06:07] naitse: nvidia-settings [06:07] Darkmystere, I'm sure VMWare's webpage has support, or just being more descriptive might help ;) [06:07] anyone read that funny article about that linux guy going into a best buy and putting the liveCD of ultimate on one of the displays and all the geeksquad guys gather around in awe... [06:07] WGGMk, MS won't be in trouble too much - the last thing theyll do would be reinventing some special form of open source'ry too [06:08] WGGMk, actually they already have the license texts available - google for Microsoft Open Source ;-) [06:08] Small business applications are the same basically across all platforms. [06:08] fragged_: Well i tried running in terminal it waits a free seconds asks for pass (using gksudo) And then it returns command prompt leaving me with no window.. [06:08] http://support.etechnologyit.net/Customer/KBArticle.aspx?articleid=25 [06:08] ploom: i was referring to Apple going Open Source [06:08] xGeek, the difference in many areas is still the lack of support, where I'm working now we have discussed running linux, but as I am only a temp, and the only one with a clue (and not an extensive one) about the OS and how stuff works both in house and likely in-town, it'd be hard to get any support once I'm gone, [06:08] someone goto that link and tell me if thats the way to fix the hal.dll? [06:09] WGGMk, and I was refferring to MS being in trouble (not) [06:09] read it! [06:09] In RARE cases this may not solve the problem. When this happens you have 3 choices.< [06:09] 1. Copy the hal.dll file from another system to C:\windows\system32 [06:09] 2. Perform a repair installation of Windows XP [06:09] 3. Format and Reinstall Windows XP onto the system [06:09] UnWorthy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:10] anyone know what kdes default battery applet is called? [06:10] fragged_: your adding another element to the equation though. support.... [06:10] option number 3 was the only options...after installing ubuntu! [06:10] UnWorthy: why dont you try the solution that is presented yourself to see if it works???? [06:11] I did [06:11] fragged_, last time for you to train an apprentice [06:11] it didn't work...expanding the hal.dl_ to c:\windows\system32\hal.dll DID NOT WORK [06:11] one of the "rare cases" [06:11] UnWorthy: then put the Windows CD and repair the OS.. its an option [06:11] so what then? if it's a "rare case" [06:11] Hi, need little help [06:12] I did not recieve that option [06:12] WGGMk, dont get me wrong, I would avoid using a windows network long term as a preference but as far as the original argument went, you think M$ is crap because of instabilities? the server editions in particular are relatively good at core stability but it also comes down to drivers which are to do with the venedor anyway [06:12] I got reinstall [06:12] anyone know what app is used to play system sounds? As in running a command to play a specific sound [06:12] UnWorthy: have you heard of the term PEBKAC? [06:12] no I have not [06:12] please enlighten me [06:12] my desktop is more big than the monitor screen... and i must use the mouse to see the edges :S [06:12] more big? [06:12] or bigger? [06:13] naitse, nvidia-settings, or set the resolution in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:13] UnWorthy: I would suggest you re-read (carefully) the solution. then research on how you can "repair" your operating system [06:13] yeah...yeah it's bigger [06:13] UnWorthy, well - you still have your partitions? Can you see the other files in your windows partition?? [06:13] i installed the nvidia video driver [06:13] yhea bigger [06:13] Ok,now im getting somewhere its saying wasnt configured correctly but when i run the command it says file not found [06:13] yeah [06:13] Greevous, there are many options, one of them is aplay [06:13] but see something odd happens...in the recovery console I can't axx my 2nd HD [06:13] my "storage" hard drive... [06:14] ploom: is aplay installed by default? [06:14] otherwise I would make a copy of hal.dll and put it on the other drive [06:14] fragged_: well yes and no. My personal opinion is MS is crap. I dont like them. my profession experience is that my companies Windows 2k3 servers are crap [06:14] hy there [06:14] #ubuntu-es [06:14] my teacher is the biggest MS fanboy alive,,, [06:15] 'barely knows wth linux is...he knows its around but thats it... [06:15] Greevous, umm - it comes with alsa I believe [06:15] Greevous, alsa-utils could be the package - I dont remember exactly [06:15] WGGMk: you make me happy I don't touch software at all at work. I'm still working on getting even further from computers professionally tho. perfect way to ruin a good hobby [06:15] Its "barely" that 95% of earth population knows what linux is. [06:15] ploom: okay, thank you very much [06:15] UnWorthy: you realize that is about 97% of the population [06:15] (; [06:16] 100% of the population of people that have used the internet, have used linux,though ;) [06:16] can help me somebady with instaling the zapp z010 modem...?! [06:16] soneil: is does make it difficult to log on my computers/servers at home [06:16] Greevous, in ubuntu it depends on your sound settings, but alsa should work always and esd would be just on top of that === deme is now known as deme_ [06:16] WGGMk, I near-agree with you, but Linux also has some flaws, and while instability is not one of them, unfortunately usability, public knowlege and specialized knowlege are. This will change in time and unless Windows comes up with some incredible stuff in the next decade I can see Linux taking more of a buisiness share [06:17] soneil: in fact i have an issue (for about 2 weeks now) with DansGuardian not being able to start and have no desire to trouble shoot it untill today.. and even then im distracted by other's situations === chaky_ is now known as chaky [06:17] fragged_, still - how about mentoring apprentice some day? === Juzzy is now known as Juzzy` === deme_ is now known as deme [06:17] ploom, I'm 17, theres still a bit of time for that ;) [06:18] ubuntu + nvidia = what a l000ve [06:18] :D [06:18] there isn't a default vnc server in xubuntu? any recommendations ? [06:18] I've just used gparted on a live cd to extend my / partition from 10gb to 20gb [06:18] But once i reboot it still only shows 10gb [06:18] thats weird...one of the possible fixes for a hal.dll error is to....bootcfg/rebuild and a fixboot? [06:18] fragged_: in comparison to servers.. I believe Linux will always be a more powerful OS. but your right.. Linux does have a long way to go before coming into the Desktop area. but you must admit that the dev's with Ubuntu (lets not forget Debian) are definatly stepping up the game [06:18] musikgoat, VNC is VNC, I mean afaik its a standard protocol, any crap server will be nuked and so your left with a few good ones [06:18] gparted shows 20 though [06:18] fragged_, I hope you have part-time job next to school then :-) 26 here... [06:19] but but but...what does hal.dll have to do with a fixboot?? [06:19] ploom, In australia, doing a TAFE certificate, school + work part time, and hopefully uni next year =) [06:19] When resizing a root partition do you need to tell it to use the new free space? [06:19] UnWorthy, hal.dll is to do with windows #windows may help more [06:19] fragged_, cool - I have a friend at Australia too - almost for a year now. Studying and working. [06:20] <- Adelaide, Australia [06:20] oh thats the answer [06:20] different utilities sometimes work better in different desktop env, I'm running ubuntu, but my lab partner is running xubuntu on our machine, anyone recommend a good walk through to help him, or a command line install that I can do? [06:20] f off [06:20] Juzzy`, I do believe I've seen your alias before, valhalla yes? [06:20] Yes :P [06:20] to #windows right? [06:21] so, Im having an issue with DansGuardian hanging on start (sudo /etc/init.d/dansguardian start) and im missing the *.pid file in /var/run. anyone have a clue? [06:21] UnWorthy: Whats the problem? Do you have dualboot and cant boot MS? [06:21] no I did [06:21] and I want to reinstall ubuntu [06:22] musikgoat, XUbuntu is very similar to Ubuntu, like its still using apt synaptics etc so if he is learning just install whatever your using to show him, let him make his own software choices once he's more confortable with his new os :) [06:22] but when I installed it for a dual boot I had to format and reinstall windows...and ubuntu... [06:22] UnWorthy: Ok. Install win first then ubuntu. [06:22] UnWorthy: no one is telling you to "f off" nor is anyone NOT giving you solutions. YOU are failing to take the advice thats being given to you. Your missing hal.dll. a mate in here told you its a problem with boot.ini (being outdated) and you would need to repair it so it know's where hal.dll is [06:22] fragged_: good point [06:23] UnWorthy: If you have problems with boot you can fix them without reinstalling any of your systems. [06:23] I'm on XP [06:23] fragged_, why won't linux recognise that i've resized my partition from 10gb to 20gb [06:24] with a bootcfg/rebuild and a fixboot? [06:24] Juzzy`: what do you mean resized? [06:24] or a fixmbr? [06:24] resized the partition useing gparted [06:24] Not entirely sure, I stay away from partitioning D:, hell I lost my vista cd with my laptop (and later found it scratched up and tossed it aside anyway :P) [06:24] Juzzy`: Its meybe resized but not mounted. Gparted can fix that. [06:24] Juzzy`: is it partitioned with a file system? [06:24] ePax, it has to be mounted, i'm using it [06:24] yeah [06:25] I just resized the extfs to 20gb [06:25] Juzzy`: have you tried restarting? [06:25] yup [06:25] i'll try again but dunno if that'll fix anything [06:25] gparted shows 20gb [06:25] but it still shows the same amount of free space as before resizing [06:25] Juzzy`: all on the same partition? [06:25] •ePax• how would I fix a hal.dll problem...I tried expanding the hal.dl_ from the recovery console...and I tried a fixboot [06:25] WGGMk, its all on the same drive [06:26] I'm not interested in some MS tech support I just don't want to have to reinstall AGAIN if I'm going to install ubuntu AGAIN [06:26] UnWorthy, this is LINUX chat, not windows WINDOWS CHAT IS FOR WINDOWS [06:26] I'm not interested in some MS tech support I just don't want to have to reinstall AGAIN if I'm going to install ubuntu AGAIN [06:26] Juzzy`: are there multi OS's or just Linux? which parition? swap, root? [06:26] I've got XP, Linux, Swap, Data(ntfs) [06:26] in that order [06:26] Hey ubuntu people. The built-in drivers seem to load my WinTV USB tv-card but when I try to play /dev/video0 with mplayer, it dies without an apparent reason [06:27] Juzzy`: when you installed Linux, did you custom partition or is everyone on root and swap? [06:27] UnWorthy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=605234 === fragged_ is now known as fragged [06:27] I just did 10gb manual partitoin for / and auto for swap [06:28] Juzzy`: not to be rude but did you resize / or swap? [06:28] i resized / from 10 to 20gb [06:28] Juzzy`, read pm (Unrelated to personal chat) you also need to identify to nickserv to respond =) [06:28] k [06:28] Juzzy`: fdisk -ls in terminal might need sudo (pastebin your output [06:28] i'll add you [06:29] k [06:29] WGGMk, i'll do that, gimme a min [06:29] doea anyone know where i can get the source code for tuxeyes?

[06:34] no [06:34] this was my 10gb linux partition [06:34] i simply resize/moved my data partition [06:34] and moved the swap partition [06:34] Juzzy`: yes, what im saying is where did the extra 10gb come from? was the NEW 10gb's previously unpartitioned [06:34] and resized the / partition to 20gb [06:34] fragged, whats a Gentoo repo?

[07:15] how to install equilizer in audacious [07:15] WGGMk Im here [07:15] so you are dual booting with xp robbi? [07:16] Ubuntu shipped me 7.04 cds instead of the 7.10 I asked for. [07:16] * Brinson still thinks unworthy should try wubi. :-p Ubuntu Ultimate is just a package of apps you can apt-get, isn't it? [07:16] derek_: have you removed flash ??

[07:17] omg. ubuntu with gnome and compiz rocks [07:17] Anyone here use Wine-Doors?

[07:18] PEBKAC = Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair [07:18] unworthy: yup [07:18] so whats the big deal? [07:18] WGGMk just for next time here is the link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 [07:18] Wine Doors seems to have things like Call of Duty...is it downloading a pirated version for me or what?

[07:24] so far so good [07:25] do you think it could be I'm not installing it to the primary hard drive...I doubt that could be it...but maybe [07:25] man I need a white russian... [07:25] but how do i use the names retrieved now to make it a list of "to install" apps ? [07:25] Brinson: yea thats y i was tryin 2 use it as user... i also do have webmin installed if that helps ya guys out. im still tryin 2 work out how 2 use that also [07:25] •bazhang• ? [07:25] how do you use grep to find a certain string of text in a given file [07:25] UnWorthy: could be an issue; though your explanation is not totally clear--you had an xp install first then installed ubuntu?

[07:26] sapperjanko: webmin is not supported by ubuntu have you considered ebox?

[07:26] haofeng94: not really ontopic here [07:26] Hello how can i automatically mount a hard drive at start up [07:27] svall youve got to aadd it to fstab where all filesystems are listed [07:27] odysseas the file im trying to grep it just goes to the next line [07:27] "server sting" "null password" [07:27] hi [07:27] read a wiki about that cos thats a huge topic [07:27] ok cheers [07:27] in short just add mountpount ..type and uid to fstab [07:27] i can just cat filename and the text shows but i want to search the file for only the word priority [07:28] svall: 2 ways, you can edit 'fstab' or edit 'rc.local' with a script IE: sudo mount /path/of/drive /mount/path" [07:28] yeah xp first then ubuntu [07:28] Does this IRC have a particular purpose or just general? I only found it because its the default of the IRC client. [07:28] DHCP IP address, but static DNS server - how to acheeve this? [07:28] adub cat filename |grep priority [07:28] UnWorthy: then why would you create another partition with feisty cd? [07:28] is there an admin about? [07:28] tparcina: DNS will always be static [07:28] what do y0u mean? [07:28] bod_: just us grunts ;] [07:29] WGGMk: DNS is the one that DHCP server has assing it [07:29] tparcina: or are you trying to create a DNS server and you have an IP dynamically? [07:29] WGGMk: I would like to define my own [07:29] I created a ext3 partition for linux, a swap partition and a fat32 osshare partition [07:29] WGGMk: ill check it out, put what u have in there n go from there [07:29] bazhang, i got banned from !ot, but they said it was only 24hrs,, that was a week ago, im still banned [07:29] oh... [07:29] UnWorthy: the installer will resize your windows install automatically [07:29] sapperjanko: lemme know then [07:29] why would I want it to do that? [07:30] WGGMk: that it correct. I'm getting IP from DHCP server, but I would like to use DNS which I define [07:30] tparcina: lets step back for a second. what are you trying to achieve? [07:30] You get to pick its new size. [07:30] to automate the process as much as possible? [07:30] bod_, state your clame in #ubuntu-ops if noones there just wait [07:30] bod_: you might go to #ubuntu-ops [07:30] odysseas that as well goes to the next line [07:30] well,.,. i would post this in !ot, but it is ubuntu related,.,. can you check this out and let me no what you think [07:30] http://s258.photobucket.com/albums/hh275/Bodsda/ [07:30] * UnWorthy knows why the dude drinks white russians.... [07:30] adub I dont understand what you're trying to do [07:30] bazhang, soldats, cheers,.will do [07:30] hey how do i do a screenshot? [07:30] •bazhang• why would I let it do that to the windows partition? to automate the process as much as possible? [07:30] Hi, anyone know of a opensource alternative to mathcad? [07:30] with the screenshot button [07:31] UnWorthy: I hate to say it but it seems that you have botched the install yourself--the automatic installer obviates the need and or risk of that--also, why not use gutsy gibbon 7.10? [07:31] try to print on my screen only one word and all instances of that word in console on my screen using cat and grep [07:31] soldats: a little more help lol. [07:31] WGGMk: I would like to get IP address from DHCP server and I would like to use another DNS server, not the one that DHCP server is telling me to use [07:31] the command completes goes to next line without output [07:31] no reason [07:31] the bg would look cooler in a non-small-laptop resolution [07:31] tparcina: for what purpose though? [07:31] just was out when I d/l ubuntu [07:31] when I d/l it, it was the newest version [07:31] tparcina: im having trouble understanding WHY you would need to do this [07:31] adub then the word priority isnt in the file [07:31] tumbleweed05, somewhere in the menu there is an option. i dont use gnome so i dont rememmber eexactly where [07:32] er button [07:32] I have tried to change /etc/resolv.conf but then when I restart it changes - it receives DNS information from DHCP [07:32] tumbleweed05: Applications->Accesories->Take Screenshot [07:32] WGGMk: I'm using VirtualBox, and his DNS server doens't work so I have to define the "real" one [07:32] WGGMk: this is weird, put what u had in pastebin n still the same probs [07:32] UnWorthy: you have a working xp install now? if so, then get the latest 7.10 and let it resize the install automatically--though you can tweak it a bit--much safer that way [07:33] odysseas is it case sensitive on grep cat [07:33] adub yeah [07:33] i still did a testparm n that creat mack still popped up at me [07:33] sapperjanko: stupid has it sounds, but you edit the #'s accordingly right? [07:33] He's trying Ubuntu Ultimate, right...is that a live or alternate install? [07:33] yeah i just found that out [07:33] alternative is a little harder with dual boot because of the lack of the nice UI [07:33] tparcina: what do you mean it doesnt work? DNS is like a phonebook of servers, nothing more [07:34] UnWorthy: it really is as easy as that--dl, burn iso to disk, restart from disk and it will see you windows install and take over from there. [07:34] WGGMk: do you know what is VirtualBox? [07:34] nice thanks odysseas thanks for the heads up on the command line [07:34] tparcina: i havent used it.. but its a virtual machine software if im not mistaken === chiriri is now known as Elda [07:34] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54183/ [07:34] tparcina: there is also vmware-server if you are interested [07:34] WGGMk: yes, that's correct. problem is that VirutalBox DNS server doesn't work. He doesn't respond to DNS requests. [07:35] I want to try ultimate [07:35] but ppl said it's not so good... [07:35] WGGMk: it's well documented. So I have to define some public DNS server [07:35] is it because it's unsupported? [07:35] WGGMk: thats all i got in there now under MyFiles [07:35] tparcina: are you trying to connect externally to the virtual box DNS? [07:35] bazhang: vmware isn't open source [07:35] UnWorthy: then download it; though it is just as easy to install that stuff individually once you have ubuntu in place [07:35] tparcina: it is in the repos though [07:36] download what? [07:36] Does anyone here use Ares in wine? [07:36] ultimate? [07:36] tparcina: you need to provide more information... where is the DNS.. where are you in relation to the DNS.. how are you trying to access it?? [07:36] tparcina: and for what its worth I have had bad luck with vbox; vmware-server just works here ;] [07:36] WGGMk: I just need to define DNS server on my machine [07:36] What's the command to re-configure a package? [07:36] the dpkg command [07:37] dpkg --re-configure? [07:37] hi, how would you use command line 7zip to join files you split with it? [07:37] dpkg-reconfigure [07:37] ty [07:37] tparcina: edit /etc/resolv.conf [07:37] •bazhang• download what? ultimate? I have it already...or are you talking about the software that comes with ultimate? [07:37] bazhang: don't know that, but I'm preatty sure it's not open source. Please corect me if I'm wrong [07:37] no it's not [07:37] UnWorthy: you can download the ubuntu cd, the ultimate dvd or whatever flavor you like--though there is no real advantage to the latter afaik [07:37] sapperjanko: hate to do this mate, but i think you need to head to #samba [07:37] afiak? [07:38] tparcina: but it is free ;] [07:38] as far as I know UnWorthy [07:38] could an asus EEE pc run ubuntu and compiz? [07:38] ty [07:38] vontux, man 7zip the commands and the how to should be there [07:38] WGGMk: I have edit /etc/resolv.conf but when I restart machine, then DHCP deamon deletes what I have entered there and puts informations that he has received from DHCP server [07:38] tumbleweed05: yes; see #eeepc [07:38] thanks bazhang. [07:38] np [07:39] bazhang: :) free != free :) [07:39] sapperjanko: i cant seem to figure out why you cant write to it.. it could be that /var/www needs sudo to write to it [07:39] which version of VMWare is good for home use? [07:39] tparcina: but the debil must have his due ;] [07:39] tparcina: that is how you edit DNS records.. are you getting a different IP every time your restart your machien? [07:39] WGGMk: i did testparm again, found another 2 typos, but still in there its comin up for "creat mack" [07:39] just messing around no real use... [07:39] UnWorthy: server most likely [07:40] .... :( I was downloading infastructure.... [07:40] UnWorthy: workstation costs money ;[ [07:40] sapperjanko: are you stopping samba before testparm? [07:40] how can I configure metacity? [07:40] how about infastructure.... [07:40] WGGMk: and i just found there there is 2 creat macks in that conf LOL, ill do the change n see how i go [07:40] NO [07:40] WGGMk: no, I'm getting allways the same. And I guess I'll do what are you also thinking I should do - define static IP address :) [07:41] hi [07:41] tparcina: the machine that NEEDS the DNS info, is it a virtual machine? [07:41] no [07:41] UnWorthy: not sure what you mean by infrastructure--you are going to use this as a home server? [07:41] so guys whats the one stop shop for open source goodies for ubuntu? [07:41] WGGMk: i just got testparm coming up with NO, i repeat NO ERRORS [07:41] no thats the name of the release [07:41] WGGMk: can you please tell me where do I define IP addres? [07:41] UnWorthy: synaptic? [07:41] sapperjanko: =) [07:42] VMware v3.5 infastructure [07:42] WGGMk: yes, that's virtual machine [07:42] vmware infrastructure is a $2000+ edition of vmware. I don't think it's really aimed at the home market somehow .. [07:42] UnWorthy: the software repositories, where almost all of the software we use is kept [07:42] tparcina: how is your internet configured? Bridged or NAT? [07:42] I'm laying music with "audacious" and I've got last.fm; but it doesn't scrobble the songs I play; what should I do? [07:42] WGGMk: lol but still probs with the write error.. gunna go see if anyone around in the samba [07:42] lol [07:42] WGGMk: forget it. I'll define static IP address [07:42] $2000 program... [07:42] tparcina: whatever [07:42] can anyone recommend something like networkmanager for windows? [07:43] is there an install for a realplayer for ubuntu ? [07:43] tparcina: im 90% sure its not going to work [07:43] WGGMk: can you please tell me where I define it? /etc/ ? [07:43] that would be the most expensive prog I'll ever not use === max193 is now known as max` [07:43] anyone here who has a laptop with working hibernate/suspend? [07:43] hi [07:43] UnWorthy: ya got ripped off, ubuntu is FREE [07:43] something to play "rm " files [07:43] tparcina: not a directory.. use ifconfig [07:43] I mean never use* [07:43] how to install rpm file [07:43] I'm playing music with "audacious" and I've got last.fm; but it doesn't scrobble the songs I play; what should I do? [07:43] WGGMk: yes, but that's for one time only. I'll like to change conf file [07:44] tparcina: no its not a "1 time only" [07:44] tparcina: bring the device down.. and assign a static IP for it.. then bring the device up [07:44] mythtv: I don't know if there is anything in the repos.. but you can get realplayer from their site.. it's not as bad as the windows-version [07:44] tparcina: then add the default gw [07:44] Smeg: are you in a clan in australia [07:45] pawan_: what file? [07:45] WGGMk: ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up ? [07:45] xmms equilizer rpm file [07:45] I'm laying music with "audacious" and I've got last.fm; but it doesn't scrobble the songs I play; what should I do? [07:45] tparcina: im sorry i misread you standby [07:45] !alien | pawan_ [07:45] pawan_: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [07:45] then [07:46] WGGMk: route add default gw 10.0.0.1 ? [07:46] tparcina: /etc/network/interfaces [07:46] WGGMk: ok, thank you :) [07:46] pawan_: you would be better off using a more modern media player then risking installing an rpm [07:46] which one [07:46] tparcina: as for the gateway and ip.. i cant help you without knowing the network setup [07:46] tparcina: apologize about instructing your to use ifconfig [07:46] is there a way of making an app (and windows) stay on a particular Desktop? [07:46] sappperjanko: yes [07:47] rhythmbox, amarok are two names that come to mind pawan_ [07:47] portablejim, make it sticky [07:47] WGGMk: everything's fine. I'll solve it now :) [07:47] WGGMk: thank you! [07:47] how about when it oped it opens to that desktop? [07:47] portablejim, right click on title and select stick [07:47] tparcina: welcome [07:47] Smeg: wouldnt happen 2 be BoTM now [07:48] portablejim, not sure [07:48] ok in the cube i put in the gears but want to change the colors of them. how do i do that? [07:48] #compiz-fusion for that tumbleweed05 [07:48] lol k. [07:48] portablejim, its probably in window manager settings. i use xfce so i can't really help you with that [07:48] how do i install a .bin file ? [07:48] Why does this: for i in `ls *`; do echo "$i"; done; on the command line not print out each filename properly? [07:48] Aloha: there is no stick when I right click. [07:49] portablejim, is there a button on the titlebar that brings down a menu? [07:49] mythtv: ./filename.bin [07:49] amarok no demux plugin error [07:49] right click title bar portablejim [07:49] power788: try "for i in $(ls *); do echo $i; done" instead [07:49] <_ruben> power788: whats 'not properly' in this case? [07:49] bazhang, he says that doesn't work [07:50] _ruben: like it breaks each filename up by the spaces [07:50] Aloha: that is odd... [07:50] <_ruben> power788: ow wait .. didnt read properly .. why not use for i in * ; do ..... [07:50] power788: are there spaces in any of the filenames? "for I in *" will probably get you further [07:50] is there a decent media player out there for ubuntu? [07:50] bazhang, yeah [07:50] tumbleweed05: too many ;] [07:50] tumbleweed05, itunes on wine ;) [07:51] crack smoker [07:51] says it needs libstdc++.so.5 [07:51] i don't feel like messing with wine. [07:51] iTunes?! [07:51] not really nice UnWorthy [07:51] lol [07:51] oh sorry [07:51] not there. There is minimise, maximise, Move, resize, Always on top, Always on visible workspace, Move to workspace right, move to another workspace and Close [07:51] are his feelings sensitive? [07:51] tumbleweed05: you want movie or music or both in one? [07:52] do they have something like winAMP for Ubun?

[08:32] !alternate | bod_ you should know this by now ;] [08:32] bod_ you should know this by now ;]: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode installation CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD. It can also be used as an upgrade CD. - See also !minimal [08:32] http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download bod_ [08:33] bazhang, i no what it is,. i didnt no where to get it,.,. the ubuntu site isnt very searchable,.,. cheers,. cya later [08:33] bye [08:33] http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [08:33] WGGMk: ahhaa! thanks a lot [08:33] bod_: on ubuntu.com when you are about to download the CD.. there is check box for "Download Alternative CD" [08:33] Neeku: welcome [08:34] nvm [08:34] sapperjanko: you still there?? [08:34] where is the sudoers fiel ? [08:35] where is the sudoers fiel ? [08:35] oops sorry [08:35] file [08:35] cjones__: /etc/sudoers but I recommend using visudo. it'll try it's best to stop you shooting yourself in the foot. [08:36] aggree [08:36] soneil [08:36] 'd [08:36] cjones__: (messing up sudo can leave you in a very sticky situation) [08:36] soneil i have aroot account and dont want sudo enabeled for other accounts [08:36] WGGMk: another problem! I can't find the process that doesn't let me eject my dvd [08:36] cjones__: keep in mind the root account is disabled in Ubuntu out of the box [08:37] how can I find it out? [08:37] neeku: there's a process STOPPING you from ejecting your CD? this sounds unlikly [08:37] PR here? [08:37] i need a list of all ubuntu default usernames that be setted in /etc/passwd, there is one? [08:38] cjones__: sudo is ONLY enabled for the original user when installing ubuntu for the first time [08:38] cjones__: I would recommend against using root for ANYTHING [08:38] WGGMk: yeah. when I want to eject it, a message pops up that an application doesn't let it be ejected [08:38] Neeku, is the dvdrom-drive mounted ? [08:38] wggmk sudo passwd root turns it on [08:38] cjones__: if you don't need sudo fullstop, I'd just rename sudoers to sudoers.orig or something. that way if the proverbial hits the fan, you've a quick-fix in singleuser boot [08:38] Paolinho: yes [08:38] Neeku, try sudo umount /media/cdrom [08:39] (or any other path, that leeds to your cdrom-drive) [08:39] cjones__: i know.. but you should NOT use it.. its not good security practices [08:39] Paolinho: not having hte CDROM mounted wouldnt stop it from opening [08:39] if i cant brake my box ill never learn how to fix it [08:39] Howdy, anyone know of any software that can be used with my HTC 6700 Pocket PC? Palm OS Devices does not work. [08:39] cjones__: famous last words ;] [08:39] ive also heard that sudo is not good sec pratice [08:40] Paolinho: how can I find what the path is? [08:40] cjones__: these are just words of the wise.. root is locked for a reason... you can achieve the same via "sudo" [08:40] (instead of cdrom) [08:40] i can always reinstall [08:40] this is just a learning box [08:40] thanks guys for the help [08:41] Neeku, less /etc/fstab and then look for your cdrom === user_ is now known as flyback [08:41] cjones__: gluck [08:41] If you want trial by fire, any unix will give you all the rope you need. just don't expect people to recommend it :) [08:41] heh [08:41] anyone got a minute to help a complete linux newcomer out? [08:41] may as well throw automatix and envy on top [08:42] rcuhljr: shoot [08:42] Hello, is possible to make a shared folder of a dvd/cd device if there is no cd/dvd in it? [08:42] setting up kismet, and I'm looking to install new drivers for my wireless card [08:42] iambernie: you can share the mount path, but it wont go anywhere if there's no media inserted [08:43] since I believe the default ones are my current stumbling block. [08:43] Paolinho: "not mounted" [08:43] Neeku, and you can't eject it? [08:43] rcuhljr: what is kismet? what version of ubuntu are you running? [08:43] yeah [08:43] 7.10 x64 [08:43] Kismet is a wireless network monitoring software. [08:43] it just passively listens and detects networks [08:44] rcuhljr: have you tried restricted-drivers-manager? [08:44] Paolinho: the dvd has some probelems so it cant be read. now i want to eject it but something doesn't let me [08:44] Hi everybody :) [08:44] WGGMk: Do I have to do that in the shell, because I can't use the GUI to make the dvd device a shared folder if there's no cd in it. (using smb btw) [08:44] WGGMk: Can't say that I know what that is [08:45] Neeku, very strange, the only idea I got now, is to reboot your system and get it out before booting... [08:45] iambernie: you can make a share pointing to the mount path of the drive your sharing... edit the smb.conf file.. [08:45] the roms has a small hole, out something in it [08:45] oh no! [08:45] Whats better Debian or Ubuntu [08:45] Neeku, I saw my system hang some time ago with an unreadable cdrom [08:45] Neeku: hdparm -L 0 /path/device should manually drop the lock flag. it shouldn't be needed tho [08:45] Paolinho: can't I find the application from the system monitor? [08:45] ubuntu [08:45] WGGMk: Ok, thanks. [08:45] Neeku: what about opening a cd burning app and then choosing eject from that? [08:45] rcuhljr: click System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager [08:45] whats the diff between apache2-mpm-prefork_2.0.55-4ubuntu2.2_i386.deb & apache2-mpm-prefork_2.0.55-4ubuntu4.1_i386.deb .. the diff is ubuntu2.2 vs ubuntu4.1 ... [08:45] yeah just found it nosing around [08:45] I have a problem with my Firefox in Ubuntu gutsy... when the ubuntu updated, firefox couldn't work with all my AddOns [08:46] Whats you Ununtu user's opinion on Debian? [08:46] rcuhljr: does it say that wireless firmware is enabled? [08:46] bahman: what version of firefox [08:46] the only thing it found so far is my video card. [08:46] Miesco: without Debian there is no Ubuntu [08:46] Miesco: you ask this in #ubuntu? [08:47] ubunut try to make it more easy? i dont know === Switch^_ is now known as Switch^ [08:47] dear bazhang I thinks its now 2.11 [08:47] Word around is people in #Debian think they are better [08:47] Miesco: that's really difficult to get an unbiased answer to. especially in here :) but personally, I love debian for their thoroughness, and ubuntu for their fixed & predictable release schedule. but I'm not a desktop user, and you know what they say about everyone having as*cough*opinions .. [08:47] bahman: what version of ubuntu and what addons [08:48] I am trying to set the group of a folder? I cannot determine the command. [08:48] Miesco: Debian vs Ubuntu is kinda pointless [08:48] hey guys, how can I enable the progress bar in the command line ftp client? [08:48] wyrmul, chgrp [08:48] It cant be diff version of ubuntu rite... since they both released in 2007.. is it the diff kernel versions [08:49] soneil: Okay thanks, I have used Debian since forever and Ubuntu seems to be more up to date (more releases), I dont know, i'll probably just buy a laptop with Ubuntu already on it and keep this desktop Debian [08:49] Miesco: my suggestion is to try both [08:49] Miesco: Do Ubuntu vs Vista instead... :D [08:49] when installing ubuntu restricted-extras i get an error code (1) from sub process /usr/bin/dpkg how do i fix this? [08:49] Paolinho: k thanks [08:49] Ububegin: You think vista or ubuntu is better? [08:50] bazhang Gutsy, and all my AddOns could work up tp ver 3.0 FF [08:50] Miesco: what do you think ... :D [08:50] Does anyone have a "AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ [08:50] What is CONFIG_X86_PAE=y for? [08:50] Vista makes me want to cut my wrists with dull glass [08:50] Does anyone have a "AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+" CPU? [08:50] Is that an ubuntu specific option? [08:50] Miesco: Ubuntu hands down [08:50] more of a firefox issue bahman [08:51] whats the diff between apache2-mpm-prefork_2.0.55-4ubuntu2.2_i386.deb & apache2-mpm-prefork_2.0.55-4ubuntu4.1_i386.deb .. the diff is ubuntu2.2 vs ubuntu4.1 ... [08:51] soneil: what should I write instead of /path/drive ? [08:51] whats the diff between apache2-mpm-prefork_2.0.55-4ubuntu look[2.2|4.1] here _i386.deb [08:51] wats 2.2 and 4.1 mean [08:52] good night everyone [08:52] Yea I guess ubuntu is better, but windows aint bothering us, are they? Why cant we just let them do their thing? [08:52] /media/cdrom0 ? [08:52] intel or amd [08:52] bye [08:52] Final Note: Windows sucks..... they are a company built on lies and stolen goods [08:52] gnite [08:52] lol [08:52] !lol | WGGMk [08:53] WGGMk: Every hour im on windows I turn a little bit more homosexual [08:53] bazhang So how could I solve my problem?! [08:53] oh jeeze [08:53] So if I have the .ucode file for the new driver, how do I switch to that driver? [08:53] bahman: what addons [08:53] = get out of the closet [08:53] gluck with that Miesco [08:53] And a little bit more suicidle too [08:53] Miesco: when u using windows, better not get close to u, man... [08:53] Neeku: if /dev/cdrom0 exists, it sounds like a good candidate. otherwise I'd "grep cdrom /etc/fstab" and see what was detected at install-time [08:53] bazhang Is there any way to go back my previous version of firefox?! [08:54] I might rape you then jump into the bath with a windows computer plugged in [08:54] Neeku: it's not /media/anything tho .. they're mountpoints, not devices (long story) [08:54] bahman: which version do you want to go back to? 1.5? [08:55] i wonder, when is the day that i can buy OSX and install it in my PC [08:55] Miesco: please stop [08:55] anyone know how to manually update a driver? [08:55] soneil: you mean i must use /dev/scd1 ? [08:55] Does anyone here know anything about the kernel..? [08:55] soneil: none works [08:55] cvd: the day apple stop making unholy profit margins on hardware [08:55] And whether or not the CONFIG_X86_PAE symbol is ubuntu specific? [08:55] Miesco, https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1 [08:56] d0131d0131d0131d0131d0131n d0131d0131d0131d0131d0131d [08:56] i dont care if linux is OPen or windows in propietary, i just like OS's [08:57] kaizoku: It's not. [08:57] I mean, just like 4 hours would only make me a little bit more homosexual, not a lot, if I spent 30 years on it, if I hadent taken a screwdriver and jammed it in my throat, i'd probably be a flamming homosexual [08:57] bazhang Version 2.7 [08:57] soren: Do you know why I might not see it in the vanilla config? [08:57] soren: *vanilla sources [08:57] oh my God! Isn't there such an option to find the application preventing this drive from being ejected?! [08:57] linux sucks [08:57] bazhang 2.7 work in a good way [08:57] soren: Is there something else I need to enable first? [08:58] I need to go to sleep [08:58] kaizoku: enable X86_32 and disable HIGHMEM4G. [08:58] just restar the pc man [08:59] and then you can rejected [08:59] Its 4am here, dont know about you [08:59] cvd: well, that's not a solution [08:59] Hallo?

[09:00] ubuntu-restricted-extras mythtv [09:00] Flynsarmy: have you installed anything at all that uses kde's libraries? [09:01] Flynsarmy: Because you've got kde core libraries installed. [09:01] soren: I still don't see it. [09:01] mythtv, mplayer has it in its examples/ folder [09:01] If a website I'm going to only has repos for Debian (Etch, Lenny, Sid) versions, which one would be best to use with Gutsy? [09:01] soren: It's not even commented out in .config [09:01] usrl, a gutsy one. [09:02] Seveas: There is no gutsy repo. Just ones for debian versions. [09:02] usrl, so download the source package and rebuild :) [09:02] Seveas: No thanks. [09:03] soren: Is there anything else that might be blocking it? [09:03] Hey I have a problem I ubuntu can not find basic session when it starts up, so I can only start up i save session mode, is there any one who has an idea of what I can do?

Please help [09:43] VvWolverinevV i have a feeling it's either Amule or one of the Gnutella clones if that helps to narrow it down [09:43] did u use sudo mv [09:43] I', sure my password is correct but it says it's wrong and I cant log on as root [09:43] i want to install ubuntu on my free and spare partition,so do i have to install it w/o grub or do i have to install grub to the same partition where ubuntu comes.I already have other linux on this box [09:43] help me [09:43] hi [09:43] just type grep -i 'single white female' /usr2/home/women/* Neeku [09:43] kubitz: this week, i've tried limewire, ktorrent... i think that's it [09:43] tech_m : did u use sudo mv [09:43] the best is azureus [09:44] kubitz: maybe limewire, i installed abunch of different version of that === sseNssesSiroSori is now known as SiroSoriS [09:44] BadRobot: huh?!!!!!! [09:44] I tried sudo cp -R ~/public_html /var/www/apache [09:44] i just kidding [09:44] BadRobot: kubitz: i also tried azureus this week forgot about that [09:44] BadRobot: I see!!! [09:44] VvWolverinevV ah i think limewire uses the same nets as Amule so it may be that [09:44] but i need help now [09:44] ok [09:44] BadRobot: if you're confident adding another grub entry to your existing system, I'd skip grub on this instal. you only need one copy going. two is just going to confuse things [09:44] BadRobot you can update the existing grub to boot ubuntu [09:44] VvWolverinevV ah I just stuck with the basic Bittorrent [09:45] and I checked it...and yeah I was able to add folder apache there...but still I cannot even delete nor add joomla contents there [09:45] I'm not really a specialist in that field so it was enough for me [09:45] PLEASE ASSIST>. [09:45] kubitz: ktorrent is nice, and you can get it from add/remove [09:45] how do i update it? [09:45] Neeku: azureus is the best bt client on mac os x IMO [09:45] sorry i like ubuntu ,but isn't perfect to keep it as my single distro .Odysseas [09:45] tech_m, for more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [09:46] VvWolverinevV there are just so many aren't there - I was just blitzed by the sheer numbers on offer [09:46] BadRobot better use ubuntu's grub, it will detect your other linux install and place it in grub so you'll have no problems [09:46] thx [09:46] kubitz: move to ubuntu-offtopic [09:46] I have pc-bsd on the other parttion [09:46] anyone know how to disable a specific program from starting up ... only when logged on via xvnc? [09:46] *partition [09:47] odysseas: until the other system gets an updated grub package, installs to mbr, and everything goes to pot. he needs to remove grub from one of the two. ignoring the second won't make it go away [09:48] anyone manage to install Ubuntu w/ a geforce 8800GTS from what im reading the cards not compatable [09:48] try Linux Mint [09:48] offtopic BadRobot [09:48] it is a Ubuntu based distro [09:49] and a poor suggestion as well [09:50] I was wondering about that flash thing [09:50] bazhang, u good wiith alsa mate?

[10:24] well enough :) what's the q? === Ce_eXeMpHe_EFh is now known as CO_BANDUNG_23 [10:25] right, I've installed ubuntu on my vista laptop, got the thing partitioned properly and everything [10:25] HI ALL [10:25] installed ntfs-3g and and have set up an ntfs partition as home [10:26] now, all of the user permissions of all of the files on this ntfs partition are root, and it refuses to change them, whether or not I use sudo [10:26] why? [10:26] emily: does ubuntu support writing to ntfs? [10:26] ntfs-3g does [10:26] via ntfs=3g, yes [10:26] ah [10:26] hello all [10:27] y would u want 2 put ubuntu on a ntfs partition to begin with?? [10:27] check your /etc/fstab [10:27] I'm putting home on an ntfs partition so that vista and ubuntu can both access the files [10:27] can anyone help me, i wanna change over to ubuntu but want to know if i can run some sort of dos emulator in it [10:28] LispWarez: vmware [10:28] check the fstab for what? [10:28] or Qemu [10:28] I have it open [10:28] /dev/sda3 /home ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_GB.UTF-8 0 0 [10:28] emily: does the ntfs part have write permissions ? [10:28] the umask for that drive [10:28] run vmware in ubuntu? [10:28] LispWarez: sure why not [10:29] LispWarez: VMWare Server is now free (ie zero price, but not Free Software). I use it to run Windows happily. [10:29] does that have the correct write permissions? [10:29] seems a bit much for a basic user [10:29] hello [10:29] Ok, I've recently moved to Ubuntu from Windows. My torrent client of choice was, obviously, uTorrent. I run uTorrent in Wine now, and have imported the saved data from my Windows partition. Now, of course, the download locations are obviously not appropriate anymore. Anyone know of a simple way to edit the uTorrent save information so that everything associates with my new linux paths? [10:29] can't u have vista on a i386? [10:29] thoughts on the fstab? [10:29] /dev/sda3 /home ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_GB.UTF-8 0 0 [10:29] Johnny_5, yeah, Vista is supported on i386 architecture [10:29] LispWarez: Download the VMWare Server; follow the instructions to install; fire it up; install Windows on a VM; and you're done. [10:30] thats the thing... i dont want windows [10:30] pihhan: just start the new client and make sure it saves the torrents in the same place as where the old ones where .. [10:30] well personally that's what i woulda done... [10:30] LispWarez - you could check out dosbox [10:30] yea i looked at dosbox.com but theres nothing listed for ubuntu [10:30] emily: I have for the options bit on my FAT32 drives: defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid=46 [10:30] stop running utorrent in wine [10:30] though I don't know what all those do... ;) [10:30] use a linux torrent program [10:30] LispWarez: I created a DOS 7 machine by just installing Win95 and then editing the autoexec so it didn't load Windows... [10:31] What is the reason that Ubuntu does not provide a DEB program package for OmagaT? [10:31] err...tqaht's what i ment...man i'm a retard [10:31] you might want to try adding umask=007 to that comma list of options [10:31] bullgard4: no-one has packaged it [10:31] bullgard4: it's that simple [10:31] bullgard4: what is it? [10:31] dabr ok thanks i'll try it out [10:31] i also cant just have a dos OS, need to open an excel spreadsheet (read only) on it too [10:31] freakin' fat32...can't vista use fat32? [10:31] phuzion: ktorrent is pretty good (it's the KDE/Kubuntu one, but of course you can get it regardless of your distro). Not as good as uTorrent, but close enough. [10:31] does lm-sensors contain HDD sensors? cuz my hdds not detected [10:31] dont you know someone, how to turn off sound right after login? [10:32] ok i can def tell i need 2 go 2 bed soon...sorry [10:32] pihhan: have a look at deluge-torrent [10:32] tokok: hdd sensors - in what way [10:32] tokok look at hhdtemp [10:32] pihhan: sorry [10:32] etfb, if I move clients, that still brings the issue of re-importing over 300 torrents, and setting appropriate download paths [10:32] tokok: smartmontools are for that [10:32] phuzion: have a look at deluge-torrent [10:33] jeroenimo, if I move clients, that still brings the issue of re-importing over 300 torrents, and setting appropriate download paths [10:33] LispWarez: for the spreadsheet, Open Office may work. You may have to manually edit all formulas to use semicolons instead of commas, because the OOo developers are retarded... [10:33] phuzion: well noo.. [10:33] phuzion: Do you have the .torrent files? [10:33] dabr when i do find / -name "*.txt" | grep whatever, i get some Permission denied messages, is that normal ? [10:33] it can prolly read/write fat32, Johnny_5 [10:33] but i doubt it'll install to it [10:33] tokok: no, it doesn't [10:33] tokok: www.techthrob.com/tech/linuxsensors.php [10:33] tokok: I _just_ wrote that how-to like a few hours ago. see the part about hddtemp [10:33] tokok you can get hddtemp to pull the temp and show them with gnome sensor applet [10:33] nemilar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:33] cool [10:33] listen floodbot. it's too early in the morning for you. [10:33] phuzion: nope... when you set the default download directory you should be fine [10:34] etfb, yes, I have the .torrent files. But what you guys aren't understanding is that I have different download locations depending on content type [10:34] tim167: yeah that's normal. [10:34] thanks guys! [10:34] phuzion: Sounds like you're pretty well a BT superuser though, way out of my league. The largest collection of torrents I've ever downloaded simultaneously was probably three... [10:34] yea i was planning on using open office [10:34] tim167: if you want to search _everything_ including files only readable by root, do it sudo [10:34] phuzion: yups.... lost me too [10:34] nemilar, ok then ! [10:34] but still need to run a dos app under ubuntu too [10:34] LispWarez: It's not MUCH less irritating that MS Office, sadly. But at least it gets updated without costing $$$ [10:34] etfb, I am an administrator on a tracker, I sorta know my way around BitTorrent [10:34] at the same time [10:34] tim167: yes because you search all of your drive, but do not have permission for some directories... if your *.txt are all in your home dir, use ~ instead of / [10:35] i never heard of linux using ntfs (not to say it can't be done...just means i never heard about it...) so if u want the best of both worlds (linux & vista) i'd go with a fat32 file system... [10:35] LispWarez: dosbox is good choice for dos applications [10:35] phuzion: Well I guess you ned to hack the uTorrent config files [10:35] phuzion: Like I said: outa my league. Sorry, can't help you. [10:35] Johnny_5: linux has read/write support for ntfs [10:35] fat32 is junk [10:35] etfb, thanks for the help [10:35] dabr, thanks [10:35] oh [10:35] phuzion: no wuckers. [10:35] * jeroenimo nods at etfb and I'm out too [10:35] jeroenimo, yeah, that's what I'm thinking to do, but I can't seem to find the encoding type for it :( [10:35] pihhan: yea but dosbox on ubuntu... can it be done? [10:35] fat32 hasn't been the primary windows filesystem since windows98/ME [10:36] LispWarez: but it is only DOS, no windows at all [10:36] cool...learn something new everyday...i'll try 2 remember that for the future... [10:36] well i guess i'm not much help here today... [10:36] LispWarez: i am sure it can, it is not distribution related [10:36] i'm goin' 2 bed now... [10:36] later all [10:36] is there a nice gui tool to use to edit /etc/fstab? [10:36] LispWarez: Start again, cos I'm a bat of very little brain. What is it you want, exactly. You're starting with Ubuntu but you have some Windows stuff you need to run. What is it exactly? [10:36] which dosbox package would be most suited for ubuntu then? [10:36] LispWarez, nice name [10:37] msingh: pysdm maybe? donno [10:37] LispWarez: install dosbox package then, propably in universe repository [10:37] ok what i need is a linux box (preferably ubuntu) that can open an excel spreadsheet and run a dos app [10:37] does anyone know where the /bin/arch binary that used to be in util-linux has gone in Gutsy? i can't find it with apt-file [10:38] LispWarez: oo.o can handle excel...and dosbox, or wine, or vmware, or qemu, or any host of things can take care of your dos apps [10:38] jeroenimo and etfb either of you guys familiar with wine at all? because I have an idea that might work, I just wanna run it by you guys first [10:38] nemilar, cheers, looks good. [10:38] phuzion: Moderately. I've got it working for most things, although I'm not ambitious... [10:38] depends on how complicated are excel spreadsheets, openoffice handles only simple ones [10:38] i will see what i can do [10:38] no macros or like [10:38] thanks for the help guys [10:39] macros are for virii ;) [10:39] pihhan: Changing stuff like IF(A1="","Empty",A1) to IF(A1="";"Empty";A1) will often help. [10:39] i wonder if gnumeric has better excel support [10:40] etfb: i dont have excel documents at all, i use oo.o on windows too [10:40] etfb, ah, someone is helping me in #winehq [10:40] phuzion: Excellent! I wish there was a #usb channel to help me... [10:40] etfb: never had need to replace commas in that however [10:40] one of my articles got front-paged at linux.com :D [10:40] pihhan: Really? Might be an artefact of the way I was importing files... interesting... [10:41] nemilar: You're famous! Next thing you know, Linus will be calling you up to get you to babysit his kids... [10:41] haha [10:41] etfb: i dont know, i have only little spreadsheets with formulas actually [10:41] he'll come home to find all his computers running windowsME [10:42] wow this IS evil [10:42] dont someone know, how to turn off sound on login? [10:42] pihhan: system - preferences - sound [10:42] just a guess [10:43] I'm having big trouble with USB under Kubuntu Gutsy. Can anyone advise on how you debug USB connections to find out why some things don't mount properly? [10:43] etfb: any help in the dmesg? [10:43] I know about lsusb and dmesg and... well, that's about all, actually. [10:43] etfb, its not mounting ? [10:43] Yep. Some things do, some don't. [10:43] etfb, have you already made a lazy umount and tried to remount specifiing the file system ? [10:43] well what does dmesg say? [10:43] YEt they were fine on Feisty on the same hardware. [10:44] etfb: it could be a usb issue or an udev issue or a hald issue [10:44] pihhan look in /system/admin/accessibility [10:44] erUSUL, cdealer: can you point me to tutorials on that? Don't want to waste your time... [10:44] Even man pages would do... [10:45] nemilar: thanks! so simple, what a shame not to find it [10:45] np [10:45] etfb, man mount have all about this [10:45] * etfb scribbles down notes in a spare Emacs window... [10:45] what's an emacs [10:46] is that some sort of devilish contraption? [10:46] nemilar: it's a high-powered multi-platform operating system with one or two text-editing extensions. Also, a religion. [10:46] etfb, dmesg will be th default debug output you will be using to see what happned on the mount action .... remove the device them plug again and type dmesg to see any error report [10:46] lol, one or two extensions [10:46] the dang thing can run a web browser [10:47] oh, lol, you made it a funny [10:47] nemilar: Web browser? Bah! It could run the space shuttle! AND the astronauts would survive a whole lot better... [10:47] plain text editor with embedded operating sytem? [10:47] etfb: do 'sudo udevmonitor' on a terminal and plug a problematic usb device also in other terminal run 'tail -f /var/log/messages' you should see a few/lot msgs appearing on both terminals meaning that the kernel recognice the device and also that udev generates the /dev/files etc [10:47] i'm half asleep, didn't read your line as a joke [10:48] where does the nm-applet save its configuration? [10:48] erUSUL: thanks, that's golden. Just what I needed. [10:48] * etfb scribbles furiously [10:49] hello [10:49] Thanks, lads and lasses; that's just what I needed. Right; off to do some debugging. AFTER I sleep... [10:50] etfb: well we, acolites of the Emacs Church, must help each other in times of need XD. RMS said so [10:50] etfb: lol [10:50] how can i get the "@ubuntu/member" at my irc nick? [10:50] I'm trying to upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy using the Update Manager. Update Manager dies while setting up the update with an error about not being able to resolve archive.ubuntustudio.org. I can't seem to resolve this host from anywhere either. Is the host down temporarily? Can I disable the Ubuntustudio installs somehow, or point Update Manager to a mirror? [10:50] Kamus_H_Zwisch: by being an ubuntu member of some sort? [10:50] erUSUL: You've reminded me: I really should find an irc.el so I don't keep having to use inferior non-RMSian software. [10:51] erUSUL: hmmmm [10:51] !member > Kamus_H_Zwisch (Please see the private message from ubotu) [10:51] etfb: ;) well i use irssi (not in emacs) but i'm a sinner XD [10:51] thank you dgjones [10:51] doctorow (can I call you Cory? love your site, BTW): I really can't recommend upgrading. Clean installs are the way to go. [10:51] :) [10:51] does everyone else immediately relink /bin/sh to /bin/bash when dash screws them over? [10:52] no [10:52] joedj: no we just run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash' [10:52] joedj: I'd be scared of encountering shell incompatibilities... [10:52] joedj: XD [10:52] mainly because /bin/sh is already linked to bash [10:52] SUre, etfb! Call me anything you like! I've downloaded and burned a CD, but I'm reluctant to run it, since using the manager is the proscribed method from emperor linux, who sold me this Thinkpad. I want to keep their stuff intact (drivers for the tablet, etc) [10:52] i dont think so [10:53] i am sure i dont have /bin/sh linked to bash [10:53] wait, why is it linked to dash one one of my systems and bash on another [10:53] I am playing CS on one screen, fullscreen, and I switched out and the screen disappeared, how can I get back into it"? [10:53] erUSUL: thanks, that feels nicer =P [10:53] i have fresh gutsy install and have dash as default shell [10:53] doctorow: Gotcha. Bugger. I stuffed up my F->G upgrade. I suspect they don't test it terribly well. Short of hand-editing repositories and starting again, I don't know what you'd do. Sorry! [10:54] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-08-21 11:51 /bin/sh -> bash [10:54] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-05-22 23:53 /bin/sh -> dash [10:54] doctorow: is ubuntu studio what you have iinstaled? or plain ubuntu? [10:54] Thanks, etfb - I'm just wondering if archive.ubuntustudio.org is temporarily offline... [10:54] erUSUL, no, plain ubuntu [10:55] /join #zope-pt [10:55] lol... sorry [10:55] doctorow: ubuntustudio guys live in #ubuntustudio [10:55] =P [10:55] doctorow: if it is plain ubuntu just comment the ubuntu studio repo and make the dist-upgrade without it [10:55] I am playing CS on one screen, fullscreen, and I switched out and the screen disappeared, how can I get back into it"? [10:55] ikonia, thanks -- I'll go ask them [10:55] neeto: What's CS? [10:55] WGGMk: ya still there me little INFO desk [10:55] etfb: windows game [10:56] neeto: how did you switch out? [10:56] I think CS is counter strike [10:56] etfb: counterstrike, windows thing [10:56] a valve's games [10:56] erUSUL -- I'm trying to do the update with the Updater, not apt-get, but that's a good idea === Mez_ is now known as Me === Me is now known as Mez [10:56] neeto: Ah, that rings a bell (I'm an old fart; I still prefer Tetris). How are you playing it? Wine? [10:56] pihhan: I have compiz running, and I wanted to see if the cube worked with it, so I switched workspaces and it's not on the original anymore [10:56] etfb: wine, yeah [10:57] neeto: Woooh! Welcome to the edges of Linux/Windows compatibility. That's tricky! [10:57] OK, I'm going to head over to #ubuntustudio and ask around -- thanks everyone! [10:57] lol, I can still hear it playing in the background [10:57] neeto: Do a Ctrl+Esc and see if its process is still running. It may have crashed. [10:57] neeto: check if it is still present as a process [10:57] it is, and it hasn't crashed [10:58] I just want to find the window, wherever it may have hidden itsellf [10:58] doctorow: you can comment out the repo and then lauch the update manager [10:58] There should be some way to select a process. Perhaps via the Ctrl+Esc thingy (it's called ksystemguard under KDE; not sure under Gnome) [10:58] I can still hear people killing each other [10:58] ok, try every workspace :) [10:58] I'm using gnome, anyone know? [10:58] neeto: Alternatively, you can kill the process from there and restart; would that work? [10:58] Yeah, I tried every workspace, I'm also using compiz and nautilus so [10:59] try to switch in with alt-tab into it, maybe it will reinitialize screen [10:59] etfb: that's what I just did, but it wasn't the step I wanted to take... [10:59] hi there... quick question... I'm doing apt-get install edubuntu-desktop, but it fails close to the end with this message: dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:252: process_queue: Assertion `!queuelen' failed [10:59] Q: flash player stoped working after an update? i've tried removing and installing flashplugin-nonfree [10:59] pihhan: that didn't work either [10:59] !flash | tockitj [10:59] it core dumps after that, so can't do dpkg --configure -a [10:59] tockitj: 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 » [10:59] i dont expect guys in wine was fixing such things [10:59] so, dont switch screens if you want play :) [10:59] if you want to game, use cedega instead of wine [11:00] meh, I don't really need a fix... I was just seeing if it worked and it doesn't, I'm not heartbroken [11:00] nemilar thanks :-) [11:00] yup [11:00] I'm just glad I can play without windows *shudder* [11:00] I'm out of here.

I tried the option routers 192.168.0.1 in dhcpd.conf but didint worked [11:02] nemilar: cedega isn't free ? [11:02] no it's not [11:02] it's put out by Transgaming [11:02] hey people, i've a problem with kde graphical effects [11:02] i can't uninstalll [11:02] that's suxx :-/ [11:02] what can i do? [11:03] BenoitH: it pays for continued development [11:03] well if you want games to work well, and to have support in linux, that's what you get [11:03] yes, i know [11:03] BenoitH: and licensing that they have to do AIUI [11:03] Anyone set up nstx client on ubuntu before? [11:03] if you want to play games that were released 4 or 5 years ago, yeah [11:03] http://thomer.com/howtos/nstx.html following that [11:03] they support recent games [11:03] games not work well in cedega just like in wine [11:03] wrong [11:04] bah... without tinkering its just as bad as wine [11:04] wine is always newer than cedega [11:04] they slow to update [11:04] exactly [11:04] same deal with crossover [11:04] if you want to play world of warcraft, cedega works great [11:05] if you wanna play maden 07, works great [11:05] wow works fine in wine too [11:05] you can play to world of warcraft with wine [11:05] if you want play wow, nothing stoppid doing it with wine [11:05] but then people complain here when something goes wrong [11:05] Do i need to install ubuntu before or after my windows partition to dual-boot [11:05] with cedega, they buy a subscription, so they complain elsewhere [11:05] if you're feeling philanthropic, go ahead and purchase membership with cedega [11:05] Can we play to half life 2 with wine or cedega ? [11:06] otherwise use wine [11:06] there's nothing philanthropic about paying someone for their commercial product [11:06] there is when u can get wine for free [11:06] no. [11:06] philanthropic would be giving money to wine [11:06] hey, I payed for six months [11:06] it is like giving money to wine [11:06] Can anyone help- me with my question? [11:06] thats the whole point [11:07] no, it's like giving money to Transgaming [11:07] yes, who code wine [11:07] no [11:07] nemilar: ok, do you have list of games which work in cedega but not in wine? [11:07] dude [11:07] tokok: on the cedega website, or google [11:07] transgaming has not proggrammed wine [11:07] Transgaming did not write wine, and if you think that, you're an idiot [11:07] jeez... [11:07] Transgaming is a fork of the wine project [11:07] nemilar, please watch your language and keep this channel friendly [11:07] Should my ubuntu partition be before or after my windows partition on my Hard Drive? [11:08] you dont think Transgamming gives their changes back to wine? [11:08] stefano_: yeah, I know better [11:08] derek01: doesn't make a difference [11:08] derek01, I think it's better after ;) [11:08] nemilar: i said about comparison, not about list of games. [11:08] thank you [11:08] hi all,how does one start a software raid after booting (non root partition)? [11:08] derek01 although I don't think that it matters all that much if you are using grub as your boot manager [11:09] I think if you're using the windows boot manager, it will complain if the partition number of the windows drive is too high, actually [11:09] well everytime i try to install ubuntu gutsy it just hangs after i get to the final step on teh install [11:09] <|WolF1> Question: How to install gcc, is there any command to get it, or any link to help? [11:09] evdvelde are you currently booted onto a drive that is going to be in the raid? [11:09] evdvelde, you dont have to "start" it, you just have to mount it, [11:09] tokok: to quote you, you said "list of games" [11:09] charles: no, it is a log partition for test systems, completely separate [11:09] apt-get install gcc ? [11:09] |WolF1: apt-get install build-essentials [11:10] |WolF1, install the package "build-essential" [11:10] |WolF1 sudo apt-get build-essential [11:10] nemilar: check this to find out all your games work without cedega http://appdb.winehq.org/ [11:10] ^^ [11:10] anyon [11:10] ? [11:10] hei people, i can't unistal graphical effects in kubuntu gutsy (at startup they run, but from kde menu they're disabled) [11:10] it's build-essential without the s, [11:10] stefano_: i put it in fstab but it does not get mounted and it complains that /dev/md0 has a wrong fs_type when trying to mount. after mdadm -A -s, it works fine [11:10] what can i do? [11:11] <|WolF1> it says to me E: Invalid operation build-essential [11:11] well everytime i try to install ubuntu gutsy it just hangs after i get to the final step on the install [11:11] evdvelde, you can put this command in /etc/rc.local then it gets executed at boot [11:11] stefano_: i could do that, yes.. just wondering if there was a clean method to autodetect it [11:11] |WolF1, sudo apt-get install build-essential [11:11] i like clean solutions :) [11:11] evdvelde, no idea, sry [11:11] stefano_: np, thx for helping [11:12] TransGaming halted using code contributed to Wine when the license was changed, though this has resumed recently with TransGaming integrating certain LGPL portions of Wine into Cedega and placing those portions of the source code on their public servers. [11:12] sorry evdvelde I don't know either [11:12] anyone having problems with installing ubuntu restricted extras? [11:12] charles: thx too :) [11:12] Nubae: way to quote wikipedia [11:12] I'm trying to read the table of contents on an audio cd, but I can't get cdrdao to read it. Every other program seems to work fine, including k3b [11:12] Can anyone help me with this, everytime i try to install ubuntu gutsy it just hangs up after i get to the final step on the install and never does the actual install or partitioning [11:13] derek01, do you know what mainboard you have? [11:13] derek01: bad memory perhaps? [11:13] nemilar... u saying thats not true? [11:13] I didn't say that. [11:13] memorys good [11:13] 2 gb brand new just tested [11:14] (16:09:42) nemilar: tokok: to quote you, you said "list of games" - and this is not full quote, i said list of games which not work in wine, not list of games which work in cedega (which just mirror wine games list probably) [11:14] well, point is, give money to transgaming or crossover, u help development of wine [11:14] derek01: hdd bad sectors? how old is the machine? [11:14] and my mobo is an A13G+ AMD [11:14] codeweavers... sorry [11:14] brand new [11:14] Ahoy all. [11:14] dual core [11:14] ok, i am leaving. [11:14] amd 6000+ [11:15] How can I add a specific value of ram usage limit for an application (especially for firefox, because it is slowing down). [11:15] 500gb hd all sectors that i know of are fine havnt encountered any problems with it until now [11:15] ok he was not able to prove "cedega is better" [11:15] yeniklasorr: pardon ? [11:16] Oh. "Ubuntu Server" is an alias for "FreeNode". Fine. [11:16] is there a way to manually install through terminal [11:16] derek01: through a terminal ? [11:16] yea [11:16] derek01: the alternate cd is a "non graphical" installer [11:16] ikonia : I want this: Firefox can use 500 MB of ram... [11:16] yeniklasorr: let the kernel manage your memory - it's smarter [11:16] i cant get a alternate cd at the moment [11:17] derek01 then no - you'll have to wait until you can get it [11:17] i was hoping to get the install don [11:17] derek01, while installing, you can press ctrl plus an arrow key to change terminals, in one (i think thr second) there is a detailed list of what the installer does, checking what happes just before it hangs might solve your problem [11:17] stefano: Thank you [11:17] derek01, i suppose you use the alternate--cd? [11:17] Hi, people. [11:17] ikonia : But firefox is slowing down and not responding when I open a few tabs or a page that has lots of text. [11:17] Juan from Argentina. [11:18] stefano: no im no the livecd right now [11:18] yeniklasorr: then there is probably something else causing the issue [11:18] Is there anybody from southamerica ? [11:18] derek01, oh. download the alternate cd and install from it, it's not muich harder and it may work a lot better [11:18] (sorry about my english) [11:18] ikonia : I have a fresh install Ubuntu [11:18] yeniklasorr so ? [11:18] yeniklasorr how much ram does your machine have ? [11:19] 1 gb [11:19] yeniklasorr type about:config in browser and have a look cant rember that value to chenage but you can limit firefox from there [11:19] yeniklasorr: then ram is not your issue for firefox [11:19] cpu ? [11:19] yeniklasorr: the linux kernel will manage your ram more effectivly than you can [11:19] yeniklasorr, firefox isnt all that fast, i suggest you try epihany - (the package is called epiphany-browser) [11:19] 2.6 ghz [11:19] epihany ok ;) [11:19] anyway, firefox should work in a machine like thar [11:20] m [11:20] true [11:20] *that [11:20] 1168 users online? [11:20] wow. [11:20] yeniklasorr http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2006/04/reduce-memory-usage-in-firefox.html [11:20] nice server, hehe [11:21] Has anyone had any luck with getting Rhythymbox to play music file when it starts, say if you provide the filename as an argument? [11:21] FreeDownload: this is an ubuntu support channel, not a chat channel. Do you have a question about ubuntu ? [11:21] Can YOU open a webpage with firefox, if that page has 2 mb of text ? [11:21] FreeDownload, sometimes we have more than 3000 here :-) [11:21] ikonia, no, I don't have any question. [11:21] FreeDownload: then please keep in mind this is a support channel only, not a chat channel [11:22] I'm attempting to get Nautilus to open mp3s and the like in Rythymbox, but no luck... any forums and bug reports I've found so far seem to be vastly outdated, I get the impression that the kind of functionaly was dropped. [11:23] see ya. [11:23] Has anyone played around with Rhytymbox and had that kind of thing happening, recently? [11:26] hi, does anybody knows how to make gdm default login manager? [11:26] Hi, is there any way to get Alpine installed on 6.06 server (LTS, I think), I keep getting an error to do with libc6 and libssl0.9.8 being out of date. - new to IRC so be kind! [11:26] hi [11:28] * Tassinar watches a tumbleweed fly past [11:29] Seems that running `rhythymbox ` works fine if it's already running, but not if it's not. Oh well, good enough.

[11:39] inother words i cant copy .dat files to my hard driver from vcd [11:39] BenderUnit22 ,does Ubuntu native come with program for make normal audio cd out of mp3 ? [11:40] where you from?? [11:40] tarelerulz: well, cdrecord/wodim is excellent from the command line... But how do you mean "native"? [11:40] where you from [11:40] tparcina: you don't have to use ssh separately. [11:40] tparcina: example scp command: scp user@host:/path/to/file . [11:40] BenderUnit22: but I need ssh for cli [11:41] tparcina: if you've installed ssh, the client programs scp and sftp should already be there as well. [11:41] I mean when you install Ubuntu from the cd does it have programs for burning normal audio cd from mp3 . [11:41] copy vcd into my hard drive [11:41] i have ext3 partition [11:41] inother words i cant copy .dat files to my hard driver from vcd [11:41] tarelerulz: Serpentine, I believe.

[11:42] tparcina: so don't bother, you can use scp all right, normally, then. [11:42] <|WolF1> BenderUnit22: xchat [11:42] <|WolF1> how can i install libglib2.0-dev ? [11:43] BenderUnit22: so, when I establish ssh connection I just execute scp user@host:/path and he will use the same connection (he won't try to establish one more)?

[11:45] <|WolF1> ikonia: how can i do that? [11:45] why doesn't the Ubuntu version of mplayer include AMR in the compile options?

[11:47] Seveas, i just use what i know - if there's a better alternative, let me know :) [11:47] SleepingSloth, I like xchat, use it all the time.

[11:47] hello [11:47] zoobox, you don't [11:48] Seveas, ah, i see. i expect those downsides are best discussed elsewhere. the big upside for me is that its in the repository... and when you're as lazy as i am, that makes it a winner.... [11:48] it must be possible somehow, right? [11:48] SleepingSloth, :) [11:48] hello fevel [11:49] im having trouble with a bug...I installed flashplugin non free for firefox but it keeps asking for the codec, ive tried reinstalling it but it still asks for the codec. Can anyone help? [11:50] Seveas: I thought I perhaps can edit some settingsfile where the keyboard shortcut window put the settings? [11:50] zoobox, but you can only associate one key combo with an action :) [11:51] fevel, I believe there perhaps is still some problemd with the flashplugin non free. it isn't installed correctly. you can install the flashpluginfile manually instead. [11:52] zoobox, Ive tried removing it with synaptic and then reinstalling it. Is there a more manual way to do it?

[12:26] or sorry [12:26] first time here , howdy squee [12:27] balbir: that means there is an issue with your video card and compiz, or isn't tested [12:27] anyone have experience with audigy value soundcard in ubuntu? [12:27] i'm having some trouble making a couple of raid arrays with the alt installer. i have six disks attached to this machine: one 160gb attached to the board's sata controller, one 40gb attached to the board's ide controller, three 300gb and one 320gb attached to an add-in card that claims to be a raid card, but actually just seems to be a raidless sata controller. i'm trying to set up the following system: a 900gb raid5 using the first 300gb of the f [12:27] our disks on the add-in card on which to put /var/files; a 40gb raid-striped for / and swap using 20gb each from the 40 and the 160, which will be backed up on a raid5 made of the last 20gb each of the 320, 160 and 40; a 120gb but of spare space on the 160gb, and a 255mb partition at the start of the 40gb for /boot (the system is set to boot from ide drives first). i started up the alt-install disk for 7.10, opened a tty, and dd'd urandom over the [12:27] first 512mb of each of the disks, then rebooted. once i got to the partitioner, i marked my disks for partitions necessary to make the above, but when i go in to configure software raid, i don't find all of the partitions that i marked as being available for raid actually being available. if i go to delete multidisk devices, i find 'md1', ':', inactive', 'sdb1 [2]', and 'mdo_raid5', none of which i can delete. the only one of these that appears t [12:27] o have any component devices is md0_raid5 which had three of my 300gb paritions on it, however, when i return to the main partitioning menu, i find raid5 device #0 with 900gb of free space on it. what on earth is going on? [12:27] not actually a newbie in ubuntu, but i got something to ask [12:27] :) [12:27] balbir: hm... what graphic card do you have? it seems to be some problem finding a 3d capable driver? [12:27] moon_g: go for it [12:27] Is there any ways to see if user has deleted some files from his home dir? [12:27] ask | moon_g [12:27] it about gfxboot [12:27] !ask | moon_g [12:28] moon_g: 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. :-) [12:28] PriitM: "history |grep -rm" as the user i suppose [12:28] StrangeCharm_: most people thing that is way to much to read..... [12:28] zoobox: VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M56GL [Mobility FireGL V5200] [12:28] oh ok [12:28] how to get gfxboot up and going [12:28] moon_g: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=208855 [12:28] i followed the ubuntu forum without much luck [12:28] ahh [12:28] :) [12:29] been self studying linux for a while, but having a hard time with cli [12:29] moon_g: I don't know what to tell you, I've actually used that exact same tutorial and it worked. [12:29] zoobox: i i put any less, and ound someone who actually did know what was going on, they'd just ask me for the rest of it. also, i didn't realise how long it would be [12:29] Why do people always say the cli is hard? its rather straight forward. : [12:30] when in doubt learn the fundamentals. :) then you start chaining the fundamental ideas together. Sort of like Legos. [12:30] Dr_willis: different people have different intuitions about things [12:30] It might be confusing at start [12:30] thanks strangecharm [12:31] Dr_willis: also, when referring to multiple pieces of a lego toy, the plural is lego, or lego bricks. lego is not really a noun [12:31] it's not that ive having a hard time, sometimes i forgot [12:31] zoobox: VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M56GL [Mobility FireGL V5200] I installed the proparitary driver for ATI [12:31] Been 'teaching' a guy at work about linux. He was going on about how hard the cli was.. asked him if he had read any of the tutorials id given him.. Nope.. :) [12:31] moon_g: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unix_programs - play with some of these [12:31] StrangeCharm_, Lego My ego! [12:31] :P [12:31] Dr_willis: how did i know that was coming... :p [12:31] StrangeCharm_, it is breakfast time here. [12:32] does the 64bit version of ubuntu work with wine ? [12:32] Dr_willis: I was teaching someone debian instead of windows, once they started understanding how intuitive it was they converted completely. (less than a week) [12:32] dbmoodb: yeah it works [12:32] how's the gfxboot differ from the gfxboot in synaptic package manager, it seems that the one in SPM is more updated [12:32] Dr_willis: lunch here, but given my sleep cycle, that's more like random-snack time [12:32] StrangeCharm_, i work 3rd shift now.. Its breakfast.. then bed time for me. [12:33] Dr_willis: ouch [12:33] moon_g: if it is in synaptic, use that. I think he built in for other users in the forums when it wasn't already pre-packaged [12:33] What command line command checks disk space? [12:33] df -h [12:33] I like df -h -x tmpfs -x devpts -x usbfs [12:35] but the one in synaptic doesn't have any guide whatsoever, anyway i'll give the guide in the forum another shot [12:36] hello all, I'm on a xubuntu LiveCD and I'd like to copy some files from my HDD to an external usb HDD but I can't [12:36] the mount command give me : /dev/sda1 on /media/LaCie type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,shortname=mixed,uid=999,utf8,umask=077) [12:36] for my HDD [12:37] can sbdy help me ? [12:37] so? [12:37] what's the problem [12:37] * zoom is away: Occupé [12:37] I have a server install, is it possible install the gui stuff but have it start up only when I call it from the command line? [12:37] eugman|work: sure [12:38] To Squee: the line that i don't understand in the forum guide is "gfxmenu /boot/grub/message.suse # the suse can be replaced" [12:38] sarmisak: I can't copy, it says that it's mounted in read-only [12:38] !away > zoom (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [12:38] where do i put it? [12:38] it's not ntfs right? [12:38] no, fat32 [12:38] moon_g: I think that the message.suse file was a theme. You should be able to find a message.ubuntu [12:39] actually it seems to be mounted rw [12:39] read/write [12:39] moon_g: until you have it working, i'd recommend leave it at message.suse [12:39] did you try to cp something with sudo cp /path/smthign /mdia/disk/smthing [12:39] someone told me to put the line in the first line in the menu.lst [12:39] no, with gui [12:39] I'll try [12:40] just popup a terminal [12:40] yup, im trying to make it as simple as possible [12:40] it's usually the access restrictions [12:40] how do i make it use gfxboot [12:40] the fastest way is sudo mkdir /media/disk/dir_name [12:40] and then sudo chmod 0777 /media/disk/dir_name [12:41] then you can r/w from the gui much easier [12:41] moon_g: i think you just put that line in the /boot/grub/menu.lst. It also might be a command - i'm not sure [12:41] balbir, this chatroom is scolling way to fast with all people going in and out.... have you find any soloution? [12:41] moon_g: yea just put it as the first line [12:42] zoobox: not yet :( [12:42] I get the cp: omission du répertoire `/media/disk-2/ludo/Desktop/sauvegardeSTOREX/spectacles/' error [12:42] without "#" [12:42] ? [12:42] I'm french :) [12:42] Hmm.. was this a vfat or ntfs filesystem? I dident think one can chmod those.

[12:43] i'm kinda want to have grub menu just like suse :) [12:43] moon_g: no problem, but just so you know I stopped using that package because my grub would occasionally just lock up (never happend before I installed that) [12:43] ludal-live: can you read from the source? [12:44] ygorabreu: just type it, push the pdf button on the toolbar? [12:44] oh ok, just wondering why it's been implemented suse for sometime now and it's missing in ubuntu [12:44] balbir: since you have installed the proparitary ATI-driver, compiz should just work in ubuntu 7.10 byt just checking Extra in the visual Effects, without need to install anything [12:44] ygorabreu: file->export to pdf from any Openoffice program [12:44] simple as that ? for sure? =P [12:44] ygorabreu: yes [12:44] whats a good substitute for itunes? One that would work with my ipodtouch and I could see podcasts from? does one exist?

They sound just fine with totem [12:59] erUSUL: i have desktop and all but i cant enable custom animation and the like [13:00] Dr_willis: i was under the impression that 8800 needed nvidia.com drivers (169.09) [13:00] i just setup Ubuntu, i'm sharing a folder but i can't get to it from the windows side what i'm i missing [13:00] erUSUL, i got an 8800 gts here. and just use the ones the restricted-manager gives me. [13:00] Jay955: are you sharing with samba? [13:00] Dr_willis: good to know [13:00] yes i am [13:00] erUSUL, only issue i have is with twinview and Gnome/KDE sort of getting my 2 monitors switched. :) KDM shows up on the one to the side. [13:01] sarmisak: can i use "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new" with the Nvidia TNT2 ? think i only can use legacy [13:01] when on the windows side it's asking me for user and password [13:01] darkhelfer: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx then ;) [13:01] dr_willis: u 7.10 amd64? [13:01] thx [13:01] Jay955: sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf [13:01] juice_, i dont use 64bit disrtos. I got no need to use 64bit. [13:02] juice_: dunno what it is wrong wth your setup... my card works well with both the packaged drivers and with the nvidia.com ones (what i currently use) [13:02] Jay955: find the line that says security = user [13:02] Jay955: uncomment it and change it to security=share [13:02] I wonder if thers not some bios/card issues going on with the drivers in some cases. [13:02] juice_: but it is and older model 7300GT [13:02] dr_willis: y not 64? [13:02] Jay955: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [13:02] Jay955: that should do it [13:02] juice_, why 64? I gain nothing.. and theres quirks to watch out for. [13:02] thanks i will try brb [13:03] ic [13:03] Jay955: beware, this is not secure. [13:03] alright im out to reformat. peace ya'll [13:03] Jay955: if you want security you must create smb users etc, google it [13:03] !samba | Jay955 [13:03] Jay955: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[13:03] thank [13:03] and now restart X-Server ? how i can make this in the terminal or need restart complete ? [13:04] darkhelfer: crtl+alt+backspace [13:04] darkhelfer, hit alt-ctrl-backspace will FORCE it to restart right now. :) be sure to save yoru stuff first.. [13:04] darkhelfer: or 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart' [13:04] or sudo reboot ? :D [13:05] rebooting is NOT the same as restarting the X server [13:05] :) its more drastic [13:05] why on earth did I ever upgrade my linux? [13:05] idefix_, you wanted the wiggly windows? [13:05] idefix_, was the grass greener? [13:05] Dr_willis, hahah [13:06] Dr_willis, wobbly windows are lame [13:06] здрасте [13:06] MyWife : "Honey - i think the computer is broken, the windows i move around are all wiggly-jiggly!"

[13:28] dbmoodb: god, no [13:28] dbmoodb: you are right [13:28] just change the grub boot options [13:28] tis easyt [13:29] sarmisak: nay help? [13:30] srujan: you need to reboot and choose "recovery mode" from the grub menu. Then execute, without the quotes, 'adduse YOUR_USER_NAME', where YOUR_USER_NAME is your actual user name. After that, reboot and use the GUI (System -> Adiministration -> Users and Groups) to add yourself to your other missing groups. [13:30] srujan: ack, I made a typo. The command should be: adduser YOUR_USER_NAME [13:31] srujan: ack, I made a typo. The command should be: adduser YOUR_USER_NAME admin [13:31] too early I guess... [13:31] :jrib actually i dont see any recovery mood whnile booting [13:31] there are some 5 options [13:31] srujan: one should say "recovery mode". What 5 do you see? [13:32] one is root next kernel and other kernel with some code [13:32] next is quiet [13:32] and last is [13:32] i dont exactly remember [13:32] eh ubuntu recovery mode from grub has no root password question ? [13:32] how should i name end of file name (ex. .jpg) in english? :> [13:32] jpeg ? [13:32] srujan: reboot and check. It should be there unless you have removed it [13:33] i also have vista installed [13:33] oli: it's referred to as the file's "extension" if that is what you mean [13:33] so what it displays is ubuntu and next option is vista [13:33] should Wubi detect this iso ubuntu-7.10-alternate-amd64.iso and install it, instead of ripping off the net again? [13:33] srujan: k, come back if it's not there [13:33] ok fine [13:33] jrib: thats what i wanted to know, thanx [13:33] I should check for wht?? [13:34] srujan: a line that says "recovery mode" somewhere [13:34] is der any command for that to write in grub? [13:34] srujan: and then run the 'adduser YOUR_USER_NAME admin' command [13:34] ok [13:35] :jrib is der any command for booting in recovery mode? [13:35] srujan: you don't need one. It is listed by default [13:36] jrib: ok what will be displayed after the recovery booting? a direct command line ar anything else/ [13:37] y0 [13:37] ubuntu pretty good for laptops? [13:37] srujan: you'll be given a command line [13:37] Good Morning, all [13:37] srujan: mine is displayed as: Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic (recovery mode). You just select that and hit enter. Then you get a command prompt. You enter 'adduser YOUR_USER_NAME admin', where YOUR_USER_NAME is your actual username. Then reboot [13:37] ritalin: i'd say it depends on your laptop. [13:37] ritalin: i've had no probs with it on mine, tho [13:37] !ritalin [13:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about ritalin - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:37] ok thank u [13:38] srujan: come back if you have trouble :) [13:38] I have one - do DirectX (PCI Express) video cards work okay - or very well - under Ubuntu?

[13:40] Hello all, I have issues installing my new nvidia gf8000 GTS G92 (latest chipset), it appears only known by latest nvidia drivers. I've installed them then I've launch X and I've seen a nvidia logo ! But gnome does not load so I've restart ubuntu and now I'm in vesa mode =( somebody could help me please ? [13:40] daniel92: I am not worried about DirectX working - that I have Vista for (grin) just worried about the card. I'm chaning out my vid card this weekend. I had ONE hell'va time getting it configured under Ubuntu [13:40] is cpu frequency installed by default in gutsy ? [13:40] Sheen: Where did you get the drivers? [13:40] hi, in nautilus places panel i have a shortcut for floppy 1 but i do not have a flopy and i want to remove it from there, i can't do that with right click [13:40] - i think i saw it last time i installed [13:40] techgeek40, nvidia.com [13:40] koko [13:40] techgeek40: what is the problem then? [13:41] techgeek40, because nvidia-glx-new does not work , driver's aren't enough recent [13:41] !cpufreq [13:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about cpufreq - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:41] simion314: hmm, pastebin your /etc/fstab [13:41] Daniel: nothing really - I am was just curious - wondering if anyone has had problems with the pci express cards [13:41] Sheen: did you edit your xorg.conf and take out the vesa under "device"? [13:42] Hey, does anyone know how i can run a specific program in a different language without changing the language of the entire install? [13:42] techgeek40: afaik, they work just as well as any other card. actually, i'm pretty sure the vid card in my laptop i;m using right now (ati mobility radeon 2300 =[) is some form of pci x16 [13:42] i'm using a 7500gt, no problems [13:42] techgeek40, no I was thinking that xconfig done it (it appears done it one time because i've seen the nvidia logo) [13:42] on my nb i have nvidia mobility, no problem on that also [13:43] brb all [13:43] Sheen: there is a walkthrough for that - let me get you the link - make sure you follow it. It will go through the specifics for you [13:43] Sheen: one sec [13:43] just did a fresh install of 7.04 and my internet is not working or being recognised. need help please [13:44] Sheen: You have the 8000? [13:44] techgeek40, ok thanks a lot. This G92 is very hard to get working [13:44] techgeek40, 8800GTS but G92 (latest one) [13:44] Okay - [13:45] IdleOne: what's your nic make and model? [13:45] if it's onboard realtek 8169 or something like that just upgrade to 7.10 [13:45] gigabit nics aren't much welcome in 7.04 [13:45] Sheen: here is the site: get these drivers - http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.09.html [13:45] Sheen: Also [13:46] sarmisak SiS Unknown device 0671 is what lspci gives me [13:46] There is a util to help with the xorg - but also read the readme file - as it provides additional links on editing things that may need a line added or remarked out === beasty__ is now known as beasty [13:46] IdleOne: can you dl a live 7.10 cd? [13:46] IdleOne: try it with the live cd [13:47] hi, does anyone know what the apache-mod-perl package is called ? [13:47] if it's working then just upgrade [13:47] sarmisak 7.10 has same effect [13:47] MindSpark: libapache2-mod-perl ? [13:47] techgeek40, this is the driver I've installed (I'm on 64 bits) [13:47] Sheen : oops okay - one sec [13:47] sarmisak livecd has no internet either [13:47] IdleOne: hmms, than it's a major problem for you [13:47] sarmisak, as far as I understand that's the development package ? [13:48] MindSpark: apt-cache search perl [13:48] sarmisak, yea, I did that, thanks :) [13:48] Sheen: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_169.09.html still - make sure you read the readme. I had to - even though the install did just fine - I actually ended up having to install the driver via a safe mode terminal --- did you turn off X when you did the installation? [13:48] MindSpark, isn't it libapache2-mod-perl2 ? [13:48] sarmisak I do have a NIC card that works in my older pc . think I can swap them out without major issues on the driver side of things? [13:48] Hello. I was wanting to set up a webserver on vmware. What version of Ubuntu do you recommend and do you know of a good guide for a basic webserver? (php, mysql, perl, apache) [13:49] IdleOne: that would be a wise choice until a driver is created for your card [13:49] ne one know the terminal command for nvidia drivers for 8800GT? [13:49] hi [13:49] SleepingSloth, it looks like I need to update/install the mod_cgi as well [13:49] i have a problem installing Gutsy [13:49] drunkmuppet: ubuntu server edition, just pop the iso in and choose lamp [13:49] sarmisak guess that is what I will do then. thank you [13:49] techgeek40, I've close X (kill it I don't know how to close it to get the console) [13:49] MindSpark, ah, i see [13:49] IdleOne: never mind. [13:50] sarmisak: hey me again, what was the terminal command for nvidia drivers? [13:50] sarmisak - Alright. Thankyou :D [13:50] sarmisak never mind? [13:50] at the and of the installation (94%) when it is installing GRUB it gives a fatal error saying cannot load GRUB on hda(o) [13:50] juice_, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx, you mean? [13:50] ty [13:50] Sheen: read the readme - and additonal links - then at the terminal window do /etc/init.d/gdm stop that will stop the process - then do the terminal install - the new Nvidia drivers will have a gui for that and it will walk you through the installatoin [13:50] Alright I got a bit further... [13:50] Does anyone know a way to get the system clock to use a non-Gregorian calendar?

[13:51] Sheen: reboot and do the safe mode start up - hit ALT+F2 - type your user name and password: then do the sudo su - for root - then the /etc/init.d/gdm stop - then cd to where the drivers are and follow the readme directions from there - they should install just fine from that point on [13:52] techgeek40, thanks I try [13:52] Sheen: good luck [13:52] guys - cannot even install Ubuntu :( [13:52] techgeek40, thanks =) [13:52] Sheen: :> [13:52] brobostigon: oh, doch einer der mich versteht :D - hab eigentlich falschen Channel gehabt ;) [13:52] I have a simple noob question, how do I find out which nics are connected to what?

[13:58] i want skype, pidgin and others to launch automaticly [13:58] I copied folderA to folderB, now some of folderB files were in .trash, some completely missing. Some folderA files were completely missing. I found nautilus-debug-log, which contained info about me moving those files, but not deleting them. I didn't find any remove commands from terminal as well. System log did not report any unknown root logins. The data I lost wasn't very important, but is this just a bug or I should be worried? [13:58] juice_, have you changed your xorg.conf? [13:58] sleepingsloth: no [13:59] sleepingsloth: what is it?

I think - during the installation - I actually deleted my partition (the free space one) along with the swap area - re-did them with the Live CD - first creating the saw - then the second partition using just the etc and the mount of / that was it - [14:02] Na-Fiann: You'll need to make a file, put the commands that you mentioned above in that file. [14:02] pici: in the terminal, LANGUAGE=nl_NL:nl LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8 gramps works fine, but when run as a menu item, it gives the error "cannot create child process" [14:02] ahh [14:02] saw = swap [14:02] <---fingers haven't had their coffee yet [14:02] so, does it need to be a bash file or something? [14:02] juice_, I cant find the howto right now - but i am sure you need to change your /etc/X11/xorg.conf device driver from 'nv' to 'nvidia' [14:02] Na-Fiann: The menu cannot run multiple commands like that, but if you put them in a script, it can run the script. [14:02] Na-Fiann: Exactly. [14:03] PriitM: humm you espected to end up with folderB/folderA/ tree or you wanted all the files of folderA/ end up in folderB/ ?? i think you should reort it as a bug in nautilus with a detailed description (including logs etc) [14:03] drhumanist: did you create the swap partition as well in vista or did you do the partition setup in live cd mode? [14:03] great, thanks very much:) [14:03] you people die with the mortals [14:03] !bugs | PriitM [14:03] PriitM: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [14:03] unless you help [14:03] juice_, at least, i did. but then i didnt touch the restricted drivers manager when i installed my drivers. [14:03] and again sorry for nagging [14:03] techgeek40 - i tried that before but Ubuntu Installer could not manage to create the partitions! so I HAD TO use vista to partition [14:03] Hi. When I turn on my computer is just says "GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB..... " on the screen... And it just keeps going. How do I fix this? :S [14:03] hey it's daniel [14:03] how's egypt dude [14:03] juice_, when you run glxgears, what framerate are you getting? [14:03] it's cool [14:03] sleepingsloth: so the prob is with the xorg.conf? [14:03] Pici, Na-Fiann: Wow. That's good to know. I may make use of that myself. [14:03] why are they mass murdering the local australian population? [14:03] why?

[14:04] that's all [14:04] drhumanist: when you created your mount point did you use anything other than just the forward slash / or did you do like /media/??? [14:04] sleepingsloth: where does it say the framerate? [14:04] erUSUL, I wanted it to end up as /folderB/folderA/ but I ended up having /folderB/folderA/ with completely deleted files, some files in .trash and semi-empty folders [14:04] juice_, run it from a terminal, it should give you the framerate every 5 seconds [14:04] techgeek - no no "/" for root and swap for swap.... I installed Ubuntu before onto other systems so i know the way [14:05] PriitM: that's pretty scare :( it is local filesystem? etx3? if true is a critical bug [14:05] ubuntu couldn't do partitions?!?!? that sounds like a bug to me or vista is locking the drive!!! summut wrong there drhumanist!!! [14:05] Hi. When I turn on my computer is just says "GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB..... " on the screen... And it just keeps going. How do I fix this? :S [14:05] sleepingsloth: oic, anywhere around 200fps [14:05] erUSUL, yes it's on local system. I'll report it. [14:05] BlackRece - yeah i found that strange too! [14:06] sleepingsloth: looks horrible [14:06] mads: reinstall grub or use livecd to fix grub using sudo gedit .... i've foggoten which file u actually need to edit!! sry but that is part of the solution!! DO NOT TRY UNTIL U HAVE THE COMPLETE SOLUTION!! [14:06] mads-: does it ever worked fine or is a fresh install? maybe reinstalling grub helps? [14:07] how do I list the contents of a .deb file? [14:07] BlackRece: Vista can't lock the drive like that - but it is possible if another boot loader is being used that it does lock the partition --- I ran into that with BDC [14:07] techgeek40, Yahaaaaaaaaaaa : direct rendering: Yes / server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation !!!!! 1600x1200 @ 85 Hz ! Thanks a lot !!! [14:07] Jupp2: dpkg -L package [14:07] juice_, okay, so you don't have acceleration at the moment. well - i dont know if there is a more enlightened way of sorting this, but like i said, i changed my xorg.conf... [14:07] erUSUL, Thanks! [14:07] Jupp2: man dpkg should say [14:07] Sheen: My pleasure - congrats on it working [14:07] hi [14:08] anyone know how to change my xorg.conf to nvidia? [14:08] techgeek40 - I installed Ubuntu over Vista before... I cannot what is different now [14:08] Jupp2: dpkg-deb more specifically [14:08] I cannot see what's different now [14:08] sleepingsloth: i don't get a fps reading when running glxgears [14:08] sleepingsloth: thanks for narrowing my search :) [14:08] anyone help to know why the ubuntu freeze? [14:08] techgeek40, perfect, thanks again ^^ I'm so happy [14:08] drhumanist: not sure - i've got XP - VISTA and Ubuntu on this computer - plus Virtual machines running xp and vista - no problems with it [14:08] luisdaniel: be more specific?

[14:09] Help :( I was able to get 7.10 Desktop working on my DELL server but cannot get the 7.10 Server to fully work. Any way to copy working drivers from the Desktop edition?

I think it's something like glxgears --iunderstandthatthisisnotabenchmark or something like that. [14:09] Drhumanist: i would blow out the partition with the live CD and recreate - with just the et3 mount only / and see what happens [14:09] luisdaniel: Did you compile the kernel yourself?

[14:10] ok i will try that once more..... but it cannot manage partitioning..... [14:10] why's dpkg -l '*bind*' not list EVERY bind package? [14:10] have a good one all - --- good luck drhumanist [14:10] Ah, found it. It's glxgears -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark [14:10] luisdaniel, beat me to it [14:10] drhumanist [14:10] one thing [14:10] yep? [14:10] brobostigon: trying to help luisdaniel :> [14:11] In bios - make sure that you don't have the virus protection turned on - that does lock the boot partition [14:11] sleepingsloth: so i can edit through this and save? [14:11] aaah that may be why!! [14:11] tinman: sorry, wrong thing [14:11] good luck [14:11] Why does dpkg's list not work as I expect it to? :) dpkg -l '*bind*' does not list EVERY bind package -- instead, it lists several (bind, bind9, libbind..) but it misses "bindgraph", for instance [14:11] have a good one all [14:11] no worries [14:11] ok thanx [14:11] bbs :) [14:11] juice_, yes - you need to change the driver from the 'device' section which applies to your gfx card from 'nv' to 'nvidia', save and restart X. however... SAVE A BACKUP FIRST [14:12] tecjgeek40: I was close enuf! lol i've had dual booting issues when grub got wiped cos of MS re-wrote mbr and I had 2 re-install GRUB.

[14:43] ubuntu-desktop [14:43] yes it doesn't find the pacakge [14:43] that is the package name [14:43] drunkmuppet, did you do an apt-get update? [14:43] drunkmuppet: ubuntu-desktop is in main, so it has to find it unless you don't have main enabled (which would seem pretty serious) [14:43] apt-get update then apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [14:43] I should have referred to the GPL, not open source as such [14:43] general question here: i have my external hard drive what i the best format (read: quickest, easiest) to make it to have it accessible by both windows and linux? [14:44] got lots of 404's [14:44] filthpig: not much to do with the GPL either, GPL says it's open source and that's it. [14:44] hi guys....I wonder if someone can help me restore my samba shares, which are fed to the xbox. I tried to share the same folders in windows, and now they do not work in Linux. I've tried stopping and restarting samba daemons, but that does not work? [14:44] filthpig, you are even more incorrect if yyou had said gpl [14:44] dmnm fat 32 [14:44] what is the command in Alt + F2 to access the share folder? [14:44] drunkmuppet, are you behind a firewall or proxy? [14:44] drunkmuppet: sounds like no internet. i got that problm from a bad install. a reinstall fixed it. might be a diff. prob tho [14:44] I'm doing this through Vm-ware [14:45] BlackRece: what do you mean? === pteague_work is now known as pteague_other [14:45] drunkmuppet, its possible your vm-server is not setup to rely network traffic? [14:45] LjL, devilsadvocate, how come? GPL says the format is free (as in speech) to use, duplicate and modify [14:45] K_Nine: that's what i thought. that's the format they are now. [14:46] filthpig: eh? how can you duplicate a *format*? [14:46] It is setup, however i'm at work, where computers need to be registered first. And it thinks my vmware is a new computer. [14:46] filthpig: anyway, no, you're wrong, but please join #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to discuss this further [14:46] filthpig, if a codec were gpl'd, it would be free. but not all free formats are gpl'd [14:46] Did this from home last night, and had no problem. I assume this is the issue. [14:46] ok, reboot isn't doing to well... i'm having to run fsck [14:46] hi guys....I wonder if someone can help me restore my samba shares, which are fed to the xbox. I tried to share the same folders in windows, and now they do not work in Linux. I've tried stopping and restarting samba daemons, but that does not work? [14:46] right, im back [14:46] ok, that's not good, just had it spew a whole page of inodes [14:47] what is 'watchdog'? [14:47] drunkmuppet: definitely internet then. there must be something preventing the computer from gettig intenet [14:47] mikebeecham, you want to see your shares that are on a windows computer, or do you want to set up a share on your ubunut? [14:48] pteague_other: no; no good... when linux mounts a fs read only something is quite wrong...

How do I install ubuntu from a nfs share? What's the install parameter? For example Suse would have something like "install=nfs://192.168.10.99/mnt/sda1/share/ubuntu-7.10-server" [14:50] erUSUL: libncurses5-dev is already the newest version. make menuconfig strats.. i get iot when i try to load the config file [14:51] Is there any online documentation about grub? [14:51] redspike: are u trying to put items inrepentus: yes gimmie a mo... [14:51] Repentinus, loads of it. but all you need to do is change the number next to default in the menu.list [14:51] I have the PXE booting and I can do a net install with net initrd image.

[14:56] ok, I did a sudo apt-get update [14:56] Repentinus, theres a line that starts with "Default" [14:56] redspike: you'd better run make oldconfig before make menuconfig.... ubuntu configs has many simbols not in vanilla becouse is heavely patched [14:56] and I still cannot find the ubuntu-desktop package. [14:56] Default num? [14:57] redspike: oldconfig should give you a .config suitable to run a make menuconfig [14:57] redspike: from a noob kernal builder view, have u seen the text INPUT_TSDEV in the code that ur rebuilding? === rocco is now known as cbx33 [14:57] Repentinus, yes. you just have to change the line number to reflect the line that lists your vista installtion [14:57] drunkmuppet, you're apt update ran fine?

[14:58] BlackRece: INPUT_TSDEV? no icant remember u have seen it. [14:59] Repentinus, if i remember correctly, changin it to 4 should it. but I'm afraid in not certain. it may even be 3. would you mind trying it out ? :P [14:59] anyone know where on the web i can go to do a headset/mic test [14:59] redspike: i'm a coder!! I'd be looking to re-invent the wheel!!! run oldconfig then make menuconfig like what-his-face sed! [14:59] what would you rather have as a home theater PC if you ahd to choose between the two: a pentium 4 3ghz with HT and a geforce ti4200 agp, or an athlon 2800+ with geforce 6200 pcie. i'm mainly interested in what processor will give me better video decoding performance...if either one is capable of decoding 720p h264 then I suppose either one would work [15:00] panfist, i'd get a gpu that does HD decoding on the GPU itself :P [15:01] devilsadvocate yeah that would be nice if that was supported in ubuntu...hell it would be nice if it was even fully supported in windows. i'm not buying any new hardware, just making a HTPC with old hardware that i already have [15:01] panfist: p4 3ghz defo!!! 2800+ = about 1.8ghz [15:02] panfist: moo tho [15:02] blackrece moo? [15:02] panfist, in that case the P4 would be a better bet. I'm not certain, but I dont think videos would benefit as much from the gpu as a game would [15:02] redspike: there should be a linux-source package [15:02] my onest opinion lol can't spell [15:02] !info linux-source | redspike [15:02] redspike: linux-source (source: linux-meta): Linux kernel source with Ubuntu patches.

[15:04] erUSUL: ahh ill try one more time, thanx for teh help [15:04] STM samba is a process that requires its own username and passwords [15:04] STM: becouse windows is not that insecure after all [15:04] STM: Thats a windows problem not linux. [15:04] STM i think the command to configure the smbpasswd is... "sudo smbpasswd -d username" [15:04] devil, say command again [15:05] STM: you have to provide your windows username and pass iirc [15:05] how can i address PCs with names in LAN , while there is a DHCP server ? [15:05] And I have one problem more, my archive manager isn't able to open tar.gz files [15:05] panfist: ifconfig didn't identify BOTH nics [15:05] erusul you need the samba username and password, set by the samba server, not the windows username and passwords [15:05] eid, two different questions [15:06] erUSUL, windows user and pass does not work either [15:06] blackrece ahh yeah ifconfig is only for interface that are up and running === DarkHelfer03|Pen is now known as DarkHelfer [15:06] panfist, i'll give that a shot [15:06] STM, how are you trying to access the shares. More often than not, nautilus on my computer is able to discover the shares quite easily (unless its set to require user authentication, of course). You will see some other folders there too.. comething like C$ and stuff that are not the usual samba shares. I have no idea whose fault it is that they show up (or who wants them to show up) [15:06] BlackRece: then one of your nics have not been recogniced by linux. what chips do the nics use? [15:06] eid, configure static ips, and then you could modify /etc/hosts to add names [15:06] öhm... the Nvidia driver and my X-Server not compatible >_> [15:06] X-Server can not start [15:06] STM if you amke the samba username and password the same as your windows users/pass it wont ask you for a login because the credentials will match [15:06] Repentinus, what error do you get with tar.gx? [15:06] devilsadvocate, i'm accessing directories on my ubuntu laptop from my windows PC [15:06] can i fix it in the console `?

[16:00] <[nrx]> okie doke [16:00] brobostigon, so supported means no updates? [16:01] When I lock the screen on my laptop, ubuntu will instead fully log me out. How can I prevent this from happening? [16:01] i would think supported till 2011 means theyl'l have security fixes till... dun dun dun [16:01] 2011 [16:01] LiENUS: That is what it means. [16:01] lienus: for example, the only ubuntu release to have pidgin is 7.10, you cat get it for any earlier release [16:01] brobostigon, i dont think il'l be running pidgin on my vpn server [16:01] LiENUS: But security updates != version updates [16:01] cant [16:02] <_Drax> How come when I forced my eth0 to use 100/FD it gives me alot of errors, before that it was autp and got 10/Half and had alot of collisions..

[16:04] i probably wont need beryl, the new gnome or updated opengl drivers either [16:04] er, not BlackRece, brobostigon [16:04] i didnt ask how to install it [16:04] i want to know why everytime i shut down it says fail to shut down? [16:04] i said i wont need it [16:04] Pici, supported till 2011 means security updates till 2011 right? [16:04] LiENUS: Yes, but only security upgrades, not version upgrades, not feature upgrades. [16:04] lienus: 7.10 is very usefull to me, i find it the best running ubuntu version on my ibook, in comparison to earlier releases [16:05] Pici, so how can you say i am confused about ubuntu support? [16:05] hello anyone there?... i need help [16:05] i said i need security updates for more than 1 year [16:05] LiENUS: Then perhaps brobostigon is.

[18:02] how to install Lucida Sans Unicode font to my ubuntu? [18:02] IdleOne, ok, is that address pingable? if so, can you ping your default gateway next? [18:02] you do not need to format swap partition :) [18:02] IdleOne: can you ping another one on your network ? [18:02] chris710: wait, are you trying to install a gtk theme or a emerald theme? [18:02] bod try it :) [18:02] ejer : i was thinking about bouting from usb disk with lsd or knoppix ? [18:03] Irkr>a gtk theme but on emerald [18:03] slade991_: sure, any linux disk should do it if it has grub [18:03] chris710: sorry about the slow typing, my fingers are taped together [18:03] ejer : then i can"t use sysconfig on knoppix must use grub [18:03] when is it safe to disconnect my external hard drive? [18:03] chris710: to install the gtk theme, the path i gave you should be sufficient [18:03] unop, pinging that ip from windows : request timed out [18:03] chris710: since emerald is only theming the window decorator [18:03] not the rest of the window [18:03] Irkr>does gtk 2 themes work with emerald? [18:04] ejer : but when i tried to launch the usb disk when booting nothing append :/ i perhaps missed something [18:04] slade991_: the problem is when ubuntu installs it wipes out windows' boot manager, so you need to either put grub back or restore MBR from windows disk [18:04] IdleOne, errm, i meant ping that address from within linux itself [18:04] oh [18:04] hehe [18:04] slade991_: you may need to change BIOS settings to boot from usb [18:04] ejer : yea i do it [18:04] chris710: mmm, should as far as i know; here, lemme test (and btw it's Lrkr..type lr then tab and i should be the only one) [18:04] IdleOne: whats the output of route , Is there an entry for your gw in /etc/resolv [18:04] ejer : but when booting from usb nothing append [18:04] unop yes it is pingable [18:04] chris710: you're on xkcfe-look.org?

[18:05] ejer : i try to make the distribution working on my own but don't seems to be fine XD [18:06] ejer : can i tell you what i have done an tell me if something is wrong ? [18:06] Irkr>why? [18:06] sure [18:06] unop, host unreachable daxroc /etc/resolv is empty [18:07] chris710: yeah, i was right; to install a gtk theme, go to system--->preferences--->appearance, then drag and drop the theme file into that window and it should install [18:07] hi [18:07] chris710: that should be all you need to do; emerald only skins the top of the dinwo [18:07] chris710: *window [18:07] Irkr>so, gtk themes dont work with emerald? [18:08] IdleOne, and you are sure that 192.168.1.0/24 is your network's address scheme.. in other words, the gateway has an IP address 192.168.0.x with a netmask 255.255.255.0 ? [18:08] I'm desperately trying to use pstricks with texlive, but I can't get it to accept my tex-file (which is a pstricks example) [18:08] IdleOne: sorry , its /etc/resolv.conf [18:08] ejer : ok, i download knoppix from the website, copy all the files from the iso to the usb drive, copy the files, boot.msg, linux, logo.16, f3, f2 and minirt.gz to the root of the usb drive, and try t boot on [18:08] daxroc, output of route shows Destination : 192.168.1.0 [18:08] ! LaTeX Error: File `pstricks.sty' not found. -- although I put it into /usr/local/share/texmf [18:08] slade991_: that will not work did you follow a tutorial or anything [18:08] and did texhash [18:08] Irkr>i download a vista theme for emerald....xd [18:09] daxroc, /etc/resolv.conf is also empty [18:09] chris710: well, they do, they both just skin different things. [18:09] ejer : yea a follow one. What does i do wrong ? [18:09] hei [18:09] slade991_: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/01/01/usb-knoppix-510/ [18:09] you need to make drive bootable [18:09] IdleOne: whats your gw address , add it to /etc/resolv.conf "nameserver ***.***.***.*** [18:09] am i suppose to create a separate partition for my files and the os? so when i restore.. all the files and programs are still there? didnt quite understand that concept... ? [18:09] chris710: is the file you downloaded a .tar.gz file or a .emerald file? [18:09] unop, the router ip is 192.168.1.1 [18:09] iKap: that is a good way to do it [18:10] ejer: ok thanx you a lot i'll try this one ^^ hope it will work ^ [18:10] i have done it, it works [18:10] ejer, how would i go about doing that? is it too late? [18:10] iKap: if you already installed, then yes [18:10] Irkr>its a .emerald [18:10] ejer : and when i would have boot how to restore grub or the windows boot system ? [18:10] daxroc, ok added [18:10] IdleOne: its your route that is fubared , sudo route del default && sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1 [18:10] IdleOne: try ping google.com then [18:10] slade991_: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Installing-GRUB-using-grub_002dinstall.html [18:11] chris710: okay, to install that just go to system-->preferences--->emerald theme manager, open that [18:11] ejer : ok thanks a lot ^ [18:11] nobody using texlive here? [18:11] chris710: then hit "import" and direct it to the file you downloaded [18:11] slade991_: also http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/gnu/grub/html_chapter/grub_4.html [18:11] to boot windows [18:11] in fact http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/gnu/grub/html_chapter/grub_toc.html#TOC14 [18:11] ejer : ok thanks again ;) [18:11] hello, I recently installed ubuntu 7, and am now trying to update.. however, I am having problems... any reason why the repositories shouldn't respond? [18:12] daxroc, ping www.google.com returns unknown host [18:12] daxroc, but his gateway isnt even pingable - even if route should succeed there, he's quite unlikely to be able to ping beyond the gateway [18:12] hey everybody. I cannot seem to play embedded videos with firefox. going directly to youtube or google video works fine, but most of the time embedded videos simply do not show up or show up as a white box. [18:12] Wiredtape: could be several different reasons ; first check that you have them all enabled: system->admin->software sources, make sure the first four are enabled and the cdrom is not [18:13] How can I open .so-files? [18:13] hello, I am trying to figure out what command ubuntu runs after you press "ctrl + alt + del" so I can write a x restart script for my flux config really quick [18:13] can i remotely capture network traffic with wireshark ?? [18:13] unop: If the route is correct it should be able to ping the router [18:13] daxroc, IdleOne, i'm inclined to say that the right module for the adapter isnt loaded -- i'd try unloading the module and any other conflicting modules and reload the module [18:13] Tweek888: to bring up logout screen? [18:13] daxroc, you dont need a default route to ping the gateway tho [18:13] chris710: did that work? [18:14] unop, how do i go about that? [18:14] ejer, to restart x, I use auto login [18:14] unop: true [18:14] but I would like to restart x from flux [18:14] Tweek888: that is actually ctrl-alt-backspace [18:14] it doesn't work in flux [18:14] Tweek888: /etc/init.d/gdm restart [18:14] assuming you use gdm [18:14] ThipThip: you have installed flash plugin, but you might not install others (such as mplayer) [18:14] yes ejer I use gdm [18:14] Irkr>i have a little problem... [18:15] unop, if you would not mind sending instructions via msg so I can follow better [18:15] Tweek888: you will need to sudo that of course [18:15] Can someone help me? I've just downloaded a .so-file. What the heck am i supposed to do? [18:15] nickrud: everything except cd is checked.. still getting failed on update attempts.. should I try a different server? [18:15] :Exec /etc/init.d/gdm restart will restart x? [18:15] I know [18:15] Wiredtape: that's the second step, yes [18:16] Wiredtape: you are connected to net? dumb question perhaps... [18:16] chris710: what happened? [18:16] IdleOne, errm, first lspci | grep -i ethernet - find the adapters make/model - then you'll need to google which module is the right module for the adapter - then use lsmod to see if it's loaded and what dependencies it has, unload all of them with rmmod and then load the module again with insmod [18:16] jimat: Do I want mplayer-mozilla? [18:16] ejer, I am chatting here, through this comp :) [18:16] looks like it then [18:16] Irkr>now o have it on emerald but how can i activate it? [18:16] jimat: It's interesting, because embedded videos do work sometimes... like in wordpress blogs, it's usually fine. [18:16] nickrud, no response.. first try was "US servers" second was "Main Server" [18:17] chris710: once you have the emerald theme manager open, under the "themes" tab, there should be a list of themes. Click on the one you want to use to select it. [18:17] IdleOne, quite tricky -- insmod needs an absolute file name to the kernel module -- you can use locate to find it -- usually it's located in /lib/modules/`uname -r` [18:17] Wiredtape: is any internet working? [18:17] Irkr>when i click it doesn't work,maybe i have to close compiz.... [18:17] nickrud, I am talking on here.. so yes ... [18:17] ThipThip: try to put "about:plugins" on your firefox address bar and see which plugins installed [18:18] Irkr>so how can i close compiz? [18:18] Wiredtape: try opening a page in firefox, make sure name resolution is currently working [18:18] Wiredtape: pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list [18:18] currently testing "best server" and a bunch are responding.. [18:18] ThipThip: about: plugins, without space [18:18] chris710: hmmm, try going into your compiz settings and checking what your window decorator is [18:18] Wiredtape: ok, that's covers name resolution :) [18:18] ok thanks [18:18] How can I run .so files? [18:19] ejer, pastebin comming up.. [18:19] onTop: what are you trting to do?

[18:19] ty [18:19] /etc/init.d/gdm start [18:19] chris710: no problem, hope that works [18:19] sudo [18:20] jimat: mplayer, windows media, realplayer, quicktime, divx, totem, VLC, GCJ, and Flash [18:20] slade991_: link was right below it... http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/02/20/installing-usb-knoppix-51-using-linux/ [18:20] Irkr>and how can i change the window decorator?

[18:21] ok === ActiveOne is now known as IdleOne [18:21] onTop: read the pdf [18:22] fgnhft [18:22] chris710: to get more specific advice on this, you might want to check the ubuntu forums, there's a lot of information there about these kinds of issues, specifically with compiz/emerald/etc. [18:22] ejer, im getting up to the loading bar screen, but when that finishes, i just get a black screen, same as before,. the disc isnt doing anything [18:22] Wiredtape: easy answer is try rebooting [18:22] bod_: you have some troubleshooting to do... no easy way to just make it work [18:23] when I do "which ls" at a command prompt, it gives me an illegal option error and shows me the usage info for "which" [18:23] bod_: you can't get to command line at all right [18:23] ejer, that does make sense.. it was working before.. however, is this something that is "testable" while running..?

[18:47] the one who contains this file ;-) [18:47] RichEd: not sure that's what you're asking, but if you change your video driver you would need to restart the xserver [18:47] WasterShrek: but he says that the other comp connecting to the same router is able to forward? so its not isp fault? [18:47] Wiredtape: if you can get to http on router, it is not your ubuntu system [18:47] oddie: what happens to my open applications when i do that x server reset ?

The GNOME utility won't let me select 1440x900 [18:54] iKap: yup [18:54] MasterShrek: here's the problem ... totem usually works fine ... but after some major browsing hitting pages with embedded videos ... totem then plays with a blank screen [18:54] Eric, yes also as Pici said, use a backslash \ before the space, but you can use tab completion, just type the first couple letters and hit tab [18:54] RichEd, ive never had good luck with totem, i think vlc has a firefox plugin, tried using that? [18:55] ejer, then why do people regularly restore ubuntu? [18:55] hi [18:55] Jack_Sparrow, im back,.,. right im gonna see if the ubuntu single mode recognizes it [18:55] MasterShrek: i'll msg you some more detail ... [18:55] iKap, its always better to do a clean install than to upgrade, although upgrades have gotten much smoother with each release, its always nicer to have a fresh install imho [18:55] Hi all.

Unfortunately I usually just edit /etc/crontab. still looking =P [20:43] warlock_handler: You simply need to find one that fits the screen. Look at ratios suggest in the owner's manual and find one you like. [20:44] Is there any way to set standard settings for htop?

Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [21:20] dan__: first you install the regular "build-essential" package, then you install the necessary kde dev libraries needed for your program [21:20] Hey. I'm not sure I can play avi files, and I can't find any on the net. Someone got a link to one? [21:20] usr13, libk3b2-mp3 is the package you need to install and libk3b with apt-get then you should be able to directly burn musicCD from MP3 [21:20] Does anyone have a problem in matlab and compiz? everything is blank when i fire it up. [21:20] how do I find out which packages I need? [21:21] sophs87: i think matlab is swing based. if it is, it will have issues with compiz [21:21] dan_, you can always do a search [21:21] dan__: What are you trying to do?

[21:22] !anyone > Nx [21:23] dan__: Since you are trying to compile a KDE app, it would seem to make sense that you should ask for help in Kubuntu...(even though you want to run it under gnome) [21:23] jack-desktop, there is a #bash channel [21:23] jeffMASTERflex: haha [21:23] i'm having trouble hibernating a fujitsu laptop - when i click hibernate from the power menu, it just goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor, and i can't do anything. can i remedy this? [21:23] Nx: i've used mixx before but never on amd64. 64 bit is useless unless you have 4GB of ram and over. i stick with 32 bit and mixx runs without issues [21:23] ok, thanks [21:23] Aew [21:23] StrangeCharm: IS that ati video? I saw something about hibernate on those [21:23] jack-desktop: what would you like help with? [21:24] thanks [21:24] I'm really new, do I have to download the 32bit bins? [21:24] Jack_Sparrow: no, i'm using an intel gpu with the intel modsetting driver [21:24] Nx, that depends, but usually yes [21:24] what is the comand to format a second hard drive?

[21:25] I'm having trouble with my videocard. I've installed the NVIDIA drivers, but I have to reinstall them every time I restart my computer in order to be able to use my system. [21:25] jack-desktop: if you want to become a bash #1 stunna, i recommend checking this page out: http://linuxcommand.org/ [21:25] xxxBooGerxxx: YOu can use gparted or cli [21:25] I just installed it synoptic [21:25] i understand that you are automatically root for 5 minutes after you have typed the password, doesn't that represent a security risk? === riaal_ is now known as riaal [21:25] Jack_Sparrow: the issue's not the driver, or you think there's a different issue with this driver [21:25] jeffMASTERflex, i don't want to learn bash, i want to understand what this script is doing, because i think it's wrong. [21:25] neverblue gparted isn't working for me [21:25] Nx, please keep questions/posts to a single line [21:25] b4l74z4r: you are only root if you type sudo [21:25] it's actually the newer beta version of Kmuddy that I'm trying to install [21:25] xxxBooGerxxx, errors? [21:25] dan__: That may be older version... so disregard [21:26] Kossilar: i think there may be something with linux-restricted-modules and nvidia module that does that i havent messed with it in a long time though so not sure if that is a bug you are seeing [21:26] yeah [21:26] jack-desktop: so you want other people to confirm that it's worng instead of confirming it yourself? what about teaching a man to fish? [21:26] jeffMASTERflex, i don't fish. [21:26] Kossilar: are you root? [21:26] jack-desktop: well then you might not eat today [21:27] StrangeCharm: What I saw was specific for Ati [21:27] neverblue somthing about label error [21:27] jeffMASTERflex, i know many programming languages (vbs, vb6, java, c++, php), i could probably pick up on bash in a second or two but i'd rather just ask someone else [21:27] Jack_Sparrow: thanks anyway [21:27] xxxBooGerxxx, put it on pastebin please [21:27] !pastebin | jack-desktop [21:27] jack-desktop: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

[21:27] jack-desktop: then go ahead and paste it, maybe someone might help [21:28] which logfiles should I check to see why my fileserver keeps losing its connection? There's no monitor and I hate having to do a hard reset every time it stops working [21:28] when i do + r ... i expect it to search *all* commands ever entered on any terminal instance. right now, it (1) only seems to search terminal history for the current terminal, and (2) has a limited search back history... how can i fix both of these issues? [21:28] !install > RancidLM [21:28] arooni-mobile: use zsh [21:28] void^, whats that [21:29] void^, is that an alternative to bash? [21:29] arooni-mobile: yessir [21:29] oh noes [21:29] but i like bash [21:29] bash doesn't support searching the history of other instances afaik [21:29] arooni-mobile: it's almost exactly like bash but with a few more features among other things. you might like it [21:29] jughead: You might just look at the network configuration for some sort of error or unorthox setting. [21:29] neverblue it kind of hard for me right now I'm not at the machine [21:30] jeffMASTERflex, but i already have a .bashrc file; and know the basics of how that works [21:30] Okay I've searched the forums, but nothing seems to help. I've found threads discussing similar problems, but not exactly the same. My problem is when I insert my thumb drive into the usb port it won't mount. It used to but all of the sudden in the last week none of the drives I have will mount. They do contain data, and I can access them in Windows, so I know that there is nothing wrong with the drives themselves. I get an error perta [21:30] jughead: Is it static or dhcp? (If dhcp, change to static) [21:30] I have a Radeon 9250 video card, that works in windows, but doesn't work in Gutsy [21:30] has anyone tackled this problem before? [21:30] arooni-mobile: then don't use zsh and maybe someone can help you with your problem hopefully [21:31] usr13, it's a static IP address that's outside the range of the DHCP addresses for the router [21:31] dan__: ATI cards are a bit of a problem for us. [21:31] dan__: fyi flgrx will NOT work with that card.. just in case you installed that [21:31] jeffMASTERflex, do you use it? [21:31] what do you like bout it [21:31] I did install it. it didn't work. [21:31] has anyone else had this problem? [21:31] jughead: Good....

Could it be a hardware problem? Maybe the NIC? [21:32] usr13, it will work (I can ssh, mount the remote shares, etc) for a little while then it stops working - everything is on but the connection is lost === reconnect is now known as recon [21:33] dan__: YOu must remove flgrx and in most cases reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx [21:33] kyleBAKED: lsmod [21:33] jughead: Is there an indicator light on the NIC, that is lit when connected? And does it go out as well? [21:33] dan__: THe card works fine.. just NOT with fglrx [21:33] jughead: are you having the problem that your ssh connection gets terminated after a certain period of time? I didn't see your original question. [21:33] jughead: What does ifconfig say when it is disconnected? [21:33] dan__: The ati docs are very specific about that. [21:33] usr13, it stays green; if I unplug it it blinks yellow then goes back go green still no response [21:33] Hi , I having problems with the gnome clock applets, I can't get to show 12 hour clock, even if I add my custom strftime, I know its a locale problem but how can I fix this [21:34] Does anybody know why my usb drive will not mount?

[21:40] bonjour neverblue [21:40] dan__: include the persons name at the front, hit tab for most clients [21:40] usr13, I don't think so - I have not messed with the BIOS and it was working just fine (on all the time) until about a week ago [21:40] A test print page comes out fine, but printing from firefox messes up the margins...

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) [21:56] dan__: How about editing xorg... line 78 to 16 for now [21:56] linuxNoob: if this is your first day using linux; then no problem exclaiming that you are God. that feeling is understandable [21:56] Gibbwake: it will stop the cups daemon from starting . Cups is so deeply engrained in gnome (ubuntu) that removing it is not practical [21:56] Jack_Sparrow: your xorg and his xorg lines don't necessarily coincide [21:56] Flare183: and how about helping? (that text was flooding more than mine...) [21:56] nemilar: I am looking at his in the pastebin.. :) [21:56] <[nrx]> what's the standard colour depth? is it 64? [21:56] Jack_Sparrow: haha, my bad [21:57] DRebellion: do you need a verbatim quote of the error? [21:57] [nrx]: try setting it to 24 [21:57] [nrx]: 24 [21:57] * nickrud laughs, anyone thinking Jack_Sparrow could make that mistake :) [21:57] <[nrx]> bugspray, it's already at 24 [21:57] [nrx]: try 32 [21:57] nickrud: tag... Hi buddy [21:57] <[nrx]> nemilar, okay. i'll give that a bash [21:57] Jack_Sparrow: hey there. Just stopping in on my coffee break [21:57] gcc -o hello hello.c it tells me stdio.h is not found.... what am i doing wrong? is there a package i need to install ? [21:57] <[Rollerman]> hola [21:57] <[nrx]> nemilar, just by editing xorg.conf? [21:57] heyjoe`: need build-essential [21:57] Jagatuba: of course [21:57] i'm trying to set scim as the default input method, but it just wont work... I already installed smart pinyin and chinese language support, then i run "im-switch -z fi_FI -s scim" but it won't change scim as the default. I've already rebooted a couple times. [21:58] can you help me? [21:58] <[Rollerman]> hola?? [21:58] nemilar: that is not a valid color depth. 16 is the next that he should now try as a fallback if 24 is no-go [21:58] [nrx]: what's the problem? [21:58] k hang on a sec [21:58] nickrud: whats the difference between k19 and s19? [21:58] bugspray: 32 is valid [21:58] DRebellion: It works now, after reinstall - don't know how, did the exact same thing :) [21:58] hey, can neone help me troublshooting grub? ive got error 2 on first reboot after freshinstalling from live cd? [21:58] bugspray: 24 is preferred however [21:58] wud up gangsta [21:58] 32 is only transparency layers over 24 [21:58] wat up g [21:58] <[nrx]> nemilar: everything was fine.. but graphics were slow, so i enabled restricted drivers. Now that it's enabled, colour depth is crap. it's currently set to 24 [21:59] Gibbwake: if you take a look at ls /etc/rc2.d , you'll see a bunch of services, S** means start in this order , K** means stop in this order (or don't start at all) [21:59] <[nrx]> nemilar, all skin tones have a blue hue [21:59] ruben-: excellent [21:59] uhm, i installed ubuntu via that windows-installer-thingy [21:59] [nrx]: is your driver set to vesa? [21:59] awesome [21:59] and... well... now i am booting for the first time [21:59] DRebellion: as soon as i logged on it said "use sudo ... ", works perfect :) I like :p [21:59] <[nrx]> bugspray, set to flgrx (or whatever it is, sorry) [21:59] in the forums, i read that hibernation not working is a common problem in ubuntu. is that true? [21:59] but it stopped at a thing... "starting local scripts" or something ... i had to press Alt-F1, and got a new prompt [21:59] nickrud: how long should the sudo mv take? its not really doing anything [21:59] Gibbwake: fyi , /etc/rcS.d is run first (and corresponds to recovery mode) then /etc/rc2.d [22:00] [nrx]: has this fglrx install yet worked on this setup? [22:00] i just got a cross site scripting warning from the wikipedia ubuntu article [22:00] Gibbwake: you got the command line back? It's done [22:00] ahunter_: May I PM for a sec.. [22:00] anyone know of a way to remove special characters from file names [22:00] hey, can neone help me troublshooting grub? ive got error 2 on first reboot after freshinstalling from live cd? anyone please? I found that error 2 means drive not found. But live cd does see the drive and is able to mount it [22:00] Gibbwake: mv is move, or rename [22:01] Jack_Sparrow: line 78 says "screen" [22:01] [nrx]: set driver to vesa, do a little more research THEN try redo of fglrx install [22:01] <[nrx]> bugspray, not as yet no. I had it as vesa before and it was fine but graphics were very slow. I'm running MythTV you see. So I enabled restricted drivers, now video speed etc is fine, but the colours all wrong on MythTV [22:01] dan__: change default depth [22:01] exit [22:02] [nrx]: what graphics card? [22:02] [nrx]: colors, etc with fglrx were fine with other apps? [22:02] Hi I'm running 7.10. Last week for "no reason at all" gnome began taking a long time to start after the gdm sign in. Any idea where to start looking for the problem? [22:02] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sde1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error [22:02] <[nrx]> bugspray, not really. I can see the colour depth isn't quite right [22:02] Jack_Sparrow: ok, done [22:02] dwnloaded kubuntu amd64 for an hp laptop and booted into it. no recognition of the video driver - not surprising - it needs the linux driver from nvidia, which I havee on a cd. i have a prompt, though. how to start the install? text install is OK with me. [22:03] Jack_Sparrow: restart and change bios? [22:03] yep [22:03] Jack_Sparrow: k [22:03] de4dsnake: what s the content of menu.lst? [22:03] dan__: remember [22:03] dan__: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [22:03] what should i do if ubuntu doesnt wanna go beyond "running local boot scripts (etc/rc.local)" ??? === fate is now known as fate_ [22:03] [nrx]: not seeing the color problem myself, i would suspect problem with driver installed. (it most likely doesn't 100% match your card) === fate_ is now known as fate__ [22:03] ok. so I just somehow managed to lock myself out of my own system [22:04] OldGreg: always a classic [22:04] yup [22:04] <[nrx]> bugspray, it's sitting at gnome desktop just now and the colour is pretty much okay. [22:04] OldGreg: you can boot to single user shell and run passwd username [22:04] who's using FireGL V3200? [22:04] it's not that. it's permissions [22:04] <[nrx]> bugspray, but if i fire up MythTV, I can see all the skin tones are off, everything has a blue hue to it [22:04] nickrud: damn, still have that cupsd error on boot, its hanging up on it [22:04] OldGreg: what did you do? [22:05] jimat: I wont b able to paste it, because its on another machine. However it doesnt even got the grub menu. the error occurs before. [22:05] i was messing with the permissions on some of the files in my home directory, and now I can't get Gnome or KDE to run. it can't create the hidden files in my home dir [22:05] [nrx]: what graphics card? [22:05] i can access the folders as root in recovery mode, so it's all there === chaky_ is now known as chaky [22:05] i just can't log in normall [22:05] *normally [22:05] <[nrx]> Alyxander, ATI Radeon [22:05] [nrx]: so, get info on your card verified, research all versions of ubuntu-specific-fglrx ATI drivers available. if no ubuntu-specific driver 100% compatible with specifically YOUR card, try ATI driver from ATI [22:06] DRebellion? [22:06] OldGreg: so a sudo chown -R $USER:USER ~ <-- fixes? [22:06] OldGreg: er chown -R $USER:$USER [22:06] [nrx]: Which number radeon [22:06] either way you can use envy to install the latest driver and then use the control center to make adjustments. be careful though === neil__ is now known as coldboot|home [22:06] PepperJack: I haven't tried that [22:06] de4dsnake: see if it you run: "grub", then "find /boot/grub/stage1" if it can find where grub is [22:06] two minutes [22:06] [nrx]: 9500 and lower can not use fglrx [22:07] Jagatuba: i don't know === Freakingme| is now known as Freakingme [22:07] dang [22:07] hey [22:07] de4dsnake: if not found, you may need to reinstall grub [22:07] Jagatuba: what format is the drive? [22:07] Gibb: a sec [22:07] FAT 16 [22:07] how do i get it so that under visual effects that custom will work? for some reason only extra and normal do things and by clicking custom it only does what is set in extra [22:07] jimat: where should i look for grub. I after mounting the hard drive i can see grub in the boot folder [22:08] it's weird because it used to automount [22:08] I am getting 'no signal' from my monitor. This happens after 30min of activity in console mode and in xfce with fglrx loaded. What could be the problem and could HardyHeron/Aplha fix this? [22:08] <__IaN__> HI! only 1 newbe question, how can i be root user??? [22:08] even like a couple of weeks ago i used it [22:08] !root | __IaN__ [22:08] __IaN__: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [22:08] PepperJack: tried it. says missing operand after : [22:08] barfender: Dont look to hardy to fix a gutsy problem [22:09] the only thing I've done since them is installed some updates to ubuntu [22:09] How is Evolution these days? Does anyone use it with Exchange Server? [22:09] __IaN__: USe sudo or gksudo [22:09] OldGreg: so basically do this insteal sudo chown -R OldGreg:OldGreg ~ <-- where OldGreg is your username [22:09] gksudo [22:09] Gibb: ls /etc/rc2.d , make sure that S19cupsys does not exist, and K19cupsys does.

[22:13] Dmole: \\ is \ [22:13] Jack_Sparrow maybe, but ive searched all over the net and haven't found any solution to why the monitor goes black..i mean fglrxinfo and glxgears | grep "direct" confirms that everything works. [22:13] Jack_Sparrow: sudo dpkg... is the command?

That happened to me a couple times due to instability [22:16] |startup [22:16] Jack_Sparrow: envy works if your careful and also it gives you a way to configure your cards [22:16] freyyr: compiz [22:16] jimat: yes raid0, sorry if i havent mentioned before [22:16] Erm what is the bot command? [22:16] Dmole: hmm ok, maybe I'm wrong with sed (just tried). Let me play [22:16] freyyr: how did you fix it? [22:16] ubuntu doesnt include that and its the easiest way to get them to work [22:16] Alyxander: Envy is NOT something to be recommended in here... [22:17] VvWolverinevV: I stopped using compiz. My issue was the ATI driver was (at the time) not fully supported with compiz [22:17] !evny [22:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about evny - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:17] people complain that thye have had problems ive used it for both ati and nvidia and have been happy [22:17] !envy [22:17] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [22:17] <[nrx]> s there an envy equivalent then? [22:17] VvWolverinevV: you might try updating your drivers [22:17] bugspray, that would work - though so would a text install, i don't neeed a gui now. trieed various drivers with dpkg-reconfigure, but some of the configs stump me. [22:17] VvWolverinevV: otherwise, i'm not sure. [22:17] On a similar note to my above question, can an email be sent from a CLI? [22:17] freyyr: are they not automatically updated through the repos? [22:17] Jack_Sparrow: why is that? its functional [22:17] freyyr: i may try disabling compiz if it happens again, thanks for the advice [22:18] VvWolverinevV: not the official ones, if you're using them. [22:18] VvWolverinevV: okay [22:18] [nrx]: sudo aticonfig [22:18] VvWolverinevV, you also may want to go to #compiz-fusion and talk with adamk about ati solutions for your system [22:18] edju: one sec; i am googling the pertinant ubuntu specific nvidia tutorial. i did it once before myself; it went fine [22:18] Alyxander: It causes other problems [22:18] de4dsnake: I never experience it, but I know a good link which may help: http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=630644 [22:18] freyyr: i have a geforce card [22:18] yes I know people screw up the xorg.conf at times but its normally contributed to no one helping them [22:18] VvWolverinevV: hmm, I'm not sure then. sorry.

Thanks [22:42] Slart: X is the graphical backbone of almost all linux [22:42] Slart, xfce4-taskmanager* [22:42] i'll remove it from the root using rm .. ! [22:42] Kloss: or run "apt-cache search mp3 player" and see what it comes up with [22:42] although it does take an act of congress to get Gutsy to work on my Optiplex :/ [22:43] dman: mm.. indeed.. but there is no process called X, is there?

[22:45] dman: yes.. I guess the taskmanager might do some translation stuff.. seems odd though.. why not call processes by their real name [22:45] Slart, dman, I see "X" in xfce4-taskmanager [22:45] and it is giving me trouble [22:45] I just wish someone would get working on a fix for the 2.6.22-14-generic kernel bug :/ [22:45] My other silly question is!... i have recorded my desktop and the program that records the desktop uses a ogg format!... now from what i am reading and being told that a Ogg format is a Sounds Format. and when i try to upload it to youtube it fails... anyone has a answer for me? [22:46] RazzoRz, .ogg is a container [22:46] Slart: i don't know. My xubuntu install isn't functioning currently, so i can't check. regardless, it is the graphical server, unless it's something utterly unrelated... [22:46] Xomp: explain [22:46] RazzoRz: you can use the avidemux program to convert it to something else [22:46] RazzoRz, .ogg can support multiple subtitle, audio and video streams. [22:46] anyone have experience with tilda? or at least the ubuntu keyboard shortcuts? [22:46] xopm: thank you Magnetron Ty... [22:47] RazzoRz, I'm not sure if youtube supports .ogg files or not.

[22:47] ok, i've another question ... someone can tell me if these files: initrd.img.old ; vmlinuz vmlinuz.old can be removed without damage the whole system ?

[23:11] how do I install google earth on 64 linux? [23:11] fixes itself using the googleearthlinux.bin file? [23:11] plectru1: you can't just add the network monitor applet?

[23:13] jrib: just so I know, is the command ops or "op" [23:13] nemilar: you did it correctly, though both may work. ubotu is just sleeping... [23:14] oh true [23:14] bots gotta rest, too, ya know [23:14] Codenut, nice desktop effects and newer drivers, better hardware support, etc [23:14] plectru1: the notification area applet contains both of those. maybe it just won't replicate the icons twice? maybe it's a bug. [23:14] Thanks bardyr [23:14] hello [23:14] i'm looking for a tool to find duplicatet-files and to auto-delete them [23:14] I may do it. [23:14] !firewire [23:15] I have heard that fiesty is better for my ham radio BBS software [23:15] Codenut: I'd say that upgrading to gutsy was worth it... I think the restricted drivers is new and compiz is not bolted on.. some people have had problems, luckily I'm not one of them [23:15] is there a way to determine the web server servicing a web site? I'd like to know if a host is running apache [23:15] I am running an AMD processor. [23:15] what is a program to watch output from a dv camera?

[23:15] mkz, reqeust a page that does not exits [23:15] mkz exists| [23:16] Yes, bad things happen everywhere. [23:16] Still no sound, but at least now applications seem to believe that a sound card exists (probably something muted in a non-obvious way). [23:16] Compiz working, sorta, kinda. [23:16] mkz: netcraft is one way, telnet and some knowledge is probably another way [23:16] see you all later. dinnertme here [23:16] Jack_Sparrow: you here? [23:16] no bad things in heaven [23:16] This is progress. [23:16] I am new to linux (5 years) so I think I will wait until there is a have to rather than a why?

[23:17] Codenut: 5 years? [23:17] Codenut: try the LTS version coming out this spring, hardy... [23:17] new @ 5 yrs. i c. [23:17] thanks. I've got the webdeveloper addon installed in ff and sure enough checking the response header tells me the server type (among other things). Thanks [23:17] mkz: you're welcome [23:17] Codenut, well gutsy was a really nice improvement over feisty, but if everything is working theres no need [23:17] Hardy isn't going to be out for a few months [23:18] nemilar: 3 [23:18] Yep, started with Red hat 7.1 and have been confuzed ever since.

There are two: Synaptic (gnome) and Adept (KDE) [23:29] hi, im using gutsy and have a motherboard sata raid setup, how do i get it to work in ubuntu? [23:29] sybariten_2, , try using synaptic, you'll get a much more friendly listing [23:29] !libhal [23:29] I did the same, but it needs some KDE library I think [23:29] !hi | SexyJames1337 [23:29] Factoid libhal not found [23:29] SexyJames1337: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [23:29] hi, i have a weird font bug with gnome-terminal: Mono 9 displays nice in font selector but the letters are all squeezed when terminal updates; [23:29] http://images3.hiboox.com/images/0508/euev4y2l.png [23:29] Pelo: headless machine [23:29] syntaxerror55: huh? [23:30] tc: Wow [23:30] i am trying to resolve a dep for libxml-2.0 >= 2.6.2; i tried installing libxml2-utils libxml2-dev libxml2 with no luck on gutsy.. any advice? [23:30] sybariten_2: what do you mean by the GNU for Apt. :| [23:30] sybariten_2, , what does gne screen do anyway, I'll try to find you tghe correct package name [23:30] my brother's Windows is corrupted... i was considering installing ubuntu so he can use that instead. but ive never used linux. :P do you think we'd be able to work it out after a bit of practice? [23:30] mikegriffin: what are you trying to install [23:30] this is so odd, i was totally sure it was either 1) installed from the beginning, or 2) called 'GNU Screen' in apt [23:30] SexyJames1337: Yes. [23:30] SexyJames1337: yes.. [23:30] SexyJames1337: takes some getting used to, but yeah [23:30] cool [23:30] front-end for apt is Synaptic Package Manager. [23:30] syntaxerror55: huh... hmm i never wrote that... some misunderstanding somewhere perhaps === andrey is now known as andbrug [23:31] SexyJames1337: we won't be able to cure whatever made you chose that nickname though.. you're on your own there ;) [23:31] well ive made the cd ready, so i'll try it out tomorrow. i'll come back here if i need any help ;) is the installation fairly straight forward? [23:31] lol [23:31] syntaxerror55: svn co of mysql workbench [23:31] tc: what does mono 8 give you? [23:31] haha, the name is kinda a joke [23:31] Pelo: uhm, its like a "windows manager" but for console ... you get something like... like subshells [23:31] syntaxerror: it looks like it's linked to font resolution too... changing its value changes the font sizes which bug [23:31] tc, looks to me like the spacing is off, try restarting the terminal it migth get corrected or try a bigger font like 10 [23:31] syntaxerror55: it appears i have resolved all other deps [23:31] sybariten_2: what is GNU Screen called in apt? [23:31] is it his brother's? [23:31] SexyJames1337: the only thing people tend to ask questions about is the partitioning [23:31] oh right [23:32] SexyJames1337: I'd say to wipe Windows as it is corrupted [23:32] sybariten_2, screenie a small and lightweight GNU screen(1) wrapper [23:32] well i can't dual boot cos I'm not able to reinstall xp, so i just select use whole drive? or is it more complex than that? [23:32] sybariten_2, is that it ? [23:32] Pelo: shells that run in the background, or console instances... you can run ICQ or IRC there for instance, then you can detach, from the shell.... and the IRC or ICQ client keeps running in that shell/screen [23:32] SexyJames1337: and just have Ubuntu take the whole drive. [23:32] SexyJames1337: I'd say use one big partition the first time... if you want you can change it later [23:32] ok cool [23:32] restarting terminal doesnt fix [23:32] Pelo: yep, thats a helper app, i found that one too... i've even used it in the past [23:32] 8 looks bad too [23:32] SexyJames1337: Yeah, the Live CD will guide you through it. It's easier then an XP Install(TM) [23:32] Pelo: (but as i said, itst just a helper app, for Screen...) [23:33] sybariten_2, ratpoison , keyboard-only window manager [23:33] we have xp recovery discs, but have lost them. if we want to reinstall in the future should they be able to overwrite over ubuntu easily? thats if he's bothered about going back to windows... [23:33] syntaxerror55: that question meant "what is the correct package name for Screen" [23:33] Pelo: close, but no cigar.... [23:33] SexyJames1337: yes.. you can easily install something else over ubuntu.. it won't leave stains [23:33] sybariten_2: ahhh...misunderstanding, I thought you wanted a "GNU Screen" (GUI) for using Apt [23:33] nice. sorry, i play games and have a reasonably good pc but im not actually an expert at much tbh [23:34] pelo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen [23:34] syntaxerror55: ahhh... ok, no. "Screen" is just a name. [23:34] sybariten_2, that's all I can find in the repos that matches your request [23:34] do you know if my logitech usb headset will work in ubuntu? [23:34] ok, thanks for your help, i'll try it out tomorrow. [23:34] Pelo: yeah, me too. This is so odd. This is a very widespread and "standard" unix tool [23:34] SexyJames1337: some games won't work without Wine or Cedega, and even then some may not work [23:35] !screen [23:35] yeh im not playing games on the ubuntu pc, that's just my brothers. i have my own with Vista :P [23:35] screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen [23:35] who wrote the bot line for root? [23:35] vista shouldnt be used for games either [23:35] sybariten_2: ah. I thought your english was just bad [23:35] syntaxerror55: I'd say some games work with wine/cedega.. and even some of those work badly =) [23:35] lol im guessing Vista is a dirty word around here [23:35] Vista=Bad [23:35] !vista | SexyJames1337 [23:35] sybariten_2, I have screen a monjtor multiplexer fowith terminal emulation via vt100/ansi [23:35] SexyJames1337: vista is the new 'operating system' by the evil overlords from Redmond. For more information, see http://www.badvista.org and !windows [23:35] it doesnt work that badly for me at all :D [23:35] its just no better than xp [23:35] in any way [23:36] lol [23:36] I assume it was written for noobs right.. And not actually trying to be truthful? [23:36] xp is the best windows at the moment [23:36] stable for games [23:36] Pelo: there it is [23:36] deosnt was to much resourses [23:36] BodOmLaW: vista is just another os.. try to keep emotions out of it [23:36] i keep my emotions out [23:36] sybariten_2, it's installed by default, alt-f2 to f7 to switch between terminals [23:36] syntaxerror55: http://pastebin.ca/886847 [23:36] syntaxerror55: heh... no dude... aint nuthin bad with that there english of mine [23:36] ive heard of a lot of people having vista problems... i guess ive been lucky cos I haven't really had any [23:37] all it is is a gimiks [23:37] anyways [23:37] do you know if my logitech usb headset will work in ubuntu? [23:37] hi, i just installed ubuntu 7.10 dvd once installed all i got was a base installation how do i install the rest of the software that comes with the dvd? thanks [23:37] BodOmLaW, probably [23:37] SexyJames1337: after a week here you'll have heard lots of people having problems with ubuntu.. we do try to help them all though =) [23:37] kk thanks [23:37] achilles, menu > applications > add remove [23:37] Vista has been good to me.

[23:38] SexyJames1337: Vista is like any other operating system, except it has bugs and viruses, and half the RAM is to monitor if you're pirating software or music. That's why we hate it. [23:38] Is there a way to run a windows emulator under Ubuntu? if I want to connect to a Checkpoint? or run a windows' only software ... [23:38] hey isnt windows always beta? XD [23:38] Slart: Agh [23:38] <_b_> ubotu is a bad person [23:38] How do you view information on your alsa configuration?

[23:39] pelo thanks since i dont have an active connection i got the dvd instead of the cd:) [23:39] Slart, apparently ubotu will be away for a while but ubot3 is here but probly a little slower [23:39] SexyJames1337: seriously, try Ubuntu, and you'll fall in love to the point where you'll put it on your computer. :D [23:39] sybariten_2, no bother, your query got me to research wsometing I wasn't familiar with , I learned something [23:39] iari: depends on what you're going to use it for... what kind of software? [23:39] neverblue: Thanks [23:39] haha. [23:40] Pelo: (BTW, try it... there are small tutorials... once you learn it, and if you do some SSH work on occasion, its super duper practical) [23:40] soldats: oh... so we got a temp =) [23:40] Slart: Checkpoint VPN, some Trading platforms [23:40] achilles, well take note of this link then it will get you more packages if you need them that you can dl and install from a usb drive and such, www.getdeb.net [23:40] yep [23:40] sybariten_2, what is ?

[23:40] Pelo: ok [23:41] iari: start with wine.. it's a lot easier on the hardware.. software runs faster.. virtualbox, qemu and the other emulate a full windows machine... which means it'll be a lot slower [23:41] pelo wow awesome i will use this alot:) [23:41] SexyJames1337: You can also boot Ubuntu from CD to try it.

[23:46] neverblue: not right now im not, but i did try that [23:46] ah, useful [23:46] necrotic, run the reconfigure command again and select the vesa driver, that will at least get you back a gui [23:46] exit [23:46] SexyJames1337: when you get the CD, trust me, all this will become very clear [23:46] Pelo: $ apt-cache search libxml | awk '{print $1}' | grep libxml | wc -l = 100 [23:47] woops [23:47] necrotic, maybe you xorg.conf isnt setup at the corect refresh rate, etc... maybe the reconfig will help [23:47] mikegriffin, do you have a gui ? use synaptic to search for libxml [23:47] ok cool. also, seeing as I am a noob to irc as well, how do you reply to a person like you are replying to me? is there an easier way than typing it out? [23:47] sudo /etc/init.d/alsamixer restart [23:47] Pelo: I have a gui on my primary screen. Using it right now without problems. [23:47] does anyone else have monitor problems with gutsy?
