[00:00] usr13, not open source and i dont like installing manually [00:00] KKSlider1337: no, you keep nickserv. you type it in this chatroom. Your only replacing 'password' with your password. [00:00] oh ok [00:00] mohbana: It is not hard to install. [00:00] I'll go and see if I can figure it out :) Thanks for the advice! [00:01] mrthaggar:: If you want to do it that way...just download and install vmware and it should work much better with Ubuntu [00:01] gmcastil: the cd is fine, i just donno how to get it to display on my monitor [00:01] hi. I need help on configuring XORG to use my retarded monitor at its full resolution. [00:01] mrthaggar: You more than likely already have totem [00:01] KKSlider1337: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml [00:01] Andeh, what gfx card? [00:02] Sakkath: umm...can you explain your problem again? [00:02] Andeh: What resolution? [00:02] Andeh: 800x600 ? [00:02] mohbana: Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT, resolution 1680x1050@60 [00:02] Syntaxerror55: when i look, it sais... /interface/whatever.o not found, so i shell to /interface and i see only whatever.h... is that what i should change? [00:02] bad_cables: No. whatever.h is the source, whatever.o is the binary [00:03] gmcastil: the cd is fine, the boot menu is 1280x1024, so with default 'vga' or setting to 1280x1024x32, it doesn't show up, monitor just says no signal. i normally use 1440x900 on geforce 8800gts 512MB [00:03] Andeh, whats your current resolution? have u installed the drivers? [00:03] drivers? "nvidia" driver? [00:03] yes [00:03] i have the glx thing [00:03] Andeh: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak ; nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:04] I already had this conversation. I looked at XORGS startup logs and it said something about the monitor not supporting the res, even though i was using it in windows ten minutes ago. [00:04] How can I update the restricted nVidia drivers when they come out? [00:04] Anyone? [00:04] usr13: i'm in GNOME now, but okay :P [00:04] Parsec300: wont they upgrade with the rest of your software? [00:04] some know the name of the server in spanish? [00:04] Sakkath: i think the boot image has to be 640x480 [00:05] usr13: okay [00:05] gmcastil: i checked my monitor by pressin menu button and it said 1280x1024 [00:05] can anyone help me with drivers for ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF? [00:05] Andeh, are you using the nvidia drivers? [00:05] Sakkath: you're trying to get grub to display graphics, right? [00:05] Haven't seen it happen yet danbhfive. Should it? [00:05] gmcastil: grub is there fine, but the os won't boot [00:05] i was told that when running glxgears, it's supposed to be smooth [00:05] it won't show [00:05] mohbana: yeah, i ran reconfigure xorg and told it to use NOT nv, but nvidia. [00:05] Parsec300: yeah, usually [00:05] Sakkath: is that a yes? [00:05] gmcastil: no [00:06] Parsec300: is this a new install? [00:06] Sakkath: so...what are you trying to do? i don't really know [00:06] Andeh, tell me if you see nvdia x server settings under apps -> sys tools [00:06] gmcastil: i'm trying to install it, i'm talking about the cd, when i pres 'Start or Install Kubuntu' or do the safe gfx mode, it does something and then monitor says 'No Signal' [00:06] mohbana: strange. they used to be there [00:06] Sakkath: ah...ok. when you boot, you might try editing the boot parameters [00:07] danbhfive, well, not exactly new. I've been running it for over a month now, but there was a recent update of the drivers. [00:07] Sakkath: i think you have to press F6 - that will let you edit the boot options that are passed to the kernel - try removing the words 'quiet' and 'splash' [00:07] thanks for the answer :-@ [00:07] Parsec300: how do you know there was an update? [00:07] mohbana: what is the command to run that? i don't see it in the menu [00:07] Andeh, is this a fresh install [00:07] whats a good prog to view images? [00:07] when I plug in my mp3 player rhythmbox opens. how do I change this default app to say amarok?? [00:07] Sakkath: i had the same problem - the default install setup didn't work with my video card, so i had to remove those parameters [00:08] Ian00, GQView [00:08] thx soldats [00:08] I regularly check a website which lists new versions of a lot of software and drivers and there was a new version of the nVidia Linux Dislplay Drivers. [00:08] hi ! [00:08] danbhfive, how do I check the version anyway? [00:08] Ian00, gimp and inkscape can edit them GQView is just a viewer [00:08] mohbana: yes. [00:08] i'm some trouble, i just installed hardy heron beta 3 (by doing gksudo "update-manager -d") and i cannot launch apt-get anymore [00:09] Sakkath: let me know if that works [00:09] apt-get: /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by apt-get) [00:09] hey [00:09] Parsec300: try synaptic, I dont know the cli commands for that [00:09] i had similar problem before upgrading , with konqueror or OpenOffice for exemple, but not with apt-get [00:09] Andeh, i am assuming you havn't installed the nidia drivers before? are yo running 800x600 right? are you on 64bi? [00:09] it seems that after the update it's getting worse :p [00:09] do you know how to repare that ? [00:09] gmcastil: all right, be back later whether it works or not [00:10] !hardy [00:10] Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [00:10] mohbana: I have everything installed.

[00:11] !md5sum | wigren [00:11] wigren: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [00:11] visof, killall appname [00:11] o well thats just way to easy. thanks [00:11] abarbaccia, did you run memtest86 to check [00:12] can anyone help me with drivers for "ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF"? [00:12] soldats: how will memtest help me here? im trying to get gutsy to recognize it - it shows up in the bios [00:12] its a kernel problem somewhere [00:12] or a module of some sort [00:12] bonsoire tous le mondes [00:12] !fr > moon_ [00:13] excus soldats; [00:13] also check system > admistration > system monitor for a list of running processes [00:13] DCC SEND ^%$#^*($&%*#&%$*(#&*(#&%*(#% [00:13] mohbana: I found this in the log: (WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "1680x1050@60"; removing.

[00:14] Andeh, is the nvidia x server settings under apps -> sys tools? [00:15] hi, i'm looking for a program for linux that displays system info (cpu, battery, bandwidth, etc) on the desktop. i've seen some screenshots where someone is using this type of app but i don't know what it is called [00:15] mohbana: forget the menu, just tell me the command to run it [00:15] ixian_ : hardinfo [00:15] hi i have problem with wireless connection [00:15] so who sent Sonja to #gphoto for a mount problem?> [00:15] ixian_ : but it has a bug in some platforms [00:15] i try this sudo iwlist eth1 scan [00:15] Andeh, that app allows you configure it [00:15] because USB Storage camera are none of gphoto business [00:16] with this result [00:16] eth1 Interface doesn't support scanning : No such device [00:16] mohbana: Yes. what is the command for the app? [00:16] it was syntaxerror55 [00:16] what? [00:16] the camera thingy [00:16] syntaxerror55: you sent Sonja to #gphoto because the mass storage device does not mount [00:16] syntaxerror55: while gphoto does not even deal with mass storage [00:17] how do i mount it then? [00:17] it should be automatic [00:17] hub: He said his camera didn't work. [00:17] Mania: device might be another name, e.g. wlan0 -- check ifconfig [00:17] Andeh, sudo nvidia-settings [00:17] if it is not, it is an ubuntu bug [00:17] danbhfive, thanks for the help. Gotto go get some sleep. [00:17] (i'm a girl) [00:17] Sonja: I was about to point out ;-) [00:17] should it put an icon on the desktop [00:17] of the camera? [00:17] it should [00:17] hub: I thought it had mounted, and he gave me a message. I don't know anything about gPhoto, so it confused me. Sorry. [00:17] instead it just opens the "import photos" window [00:18] est ce que quelqu'un peut m'aider a configuré ma web cam sur ubuntu [00:18] yeah that's gnome-volume-manager that does that [00:18] which says "no images found" even though winxp has no problem [00:18] moon_ #ubuntu-fr maybe? [00:18] !fr [00:18] moon_: y'a un channel en francais quelque part [00:18] Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [00:18] yep [00:18] gmcastil: progress--but stuck at the boot scripts thing [00:18] shr1k3: i try this to http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/32880/ [00:18] hub: Sorry? D: [00:19] syntaxerror55: actually I even think it is an ubuntu bug... I couldn't tell because I no longer use ubuntu [00:19] what should i do to mount the camera? [00:19] mohbana: I ran nvidia-settings [00:19] it says I'm not using the NVIDIA driver [00:19] I used repository to install VMWare server, but I don't seem to be able to access the MUI... does anyone know how I can tell if it is installed? [00:19] Sonja: I'd try this in the terminal: "pmount /dev/sda1" [00:19] it's so much easier in winxp, but i'd rather keep trying in ubuntu [00:19] mohbana: and that i should run nvidia-xconfig as root and restart X, which I just did, and now it still says that! [00:19] hub ok let me try [00:19] hub: Ah, okay. Because gphoto outputted something, I thought to blaim gphoto. [00:20] syntaxerror55: the dialog? [00:20] gmcastil: what about the -- at the end of the line? ('quiet splash --') or osmething like that. [00:20] something [00:20] ok installing pmount [00:20] Mania: does iwconfig show another interface available? [00:20] syntaxerror55: it is not gphoto. gphoto does NOT have a UI [00:20] Error: device /dev/sda1 is already mounted to /media/windowsold [00:20] no that all [00:20] Sonja: oh [00:20] that's one of my hard drives [00:20] Sonja: dmesg should tell which /dev/sd it is [00:20] Sakkath: yeah, delete the -- thing too [00:20] hub: she typed something in here, and I failed to realize it was a dialog. I use gphoto. I have a canon powershot a460 [00:20] Andeh, althought this is for a 8800gts you could give it try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=679266 the url for the 64bit version is http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/169.09/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.09-pkg2.run [00:21] usb-storage: device found at 6 [00:21] is that it? [00:21] mohbana: So the glx-new drivers dont work? [00:21] Sonja: it should give a bit more than that [00:21] does anyone happen to know what package 'convert' is a part of? i've found some man pages on google, but it's not easy to find the package that it comes from [00:21] anyone know if there is a default firewall settings when u first install ubuntu? [00:21] when does the new version com eout [00:21] imagemagick? [00:21] Andeh, mine is working fine on 169.09 release [00:21] or do i have to install one [00:21] gmcastil: imagemagick [00:21] d03boy: april? [00:22] the output of dmesg is huge [00:22] ugh [00:22] mohbana: so the solution is to use something else? [00:22] shr1k3: ?! [00:22] Mania: you don't show an eth1 device, thats why the error [00:22] !firewall | high-freq [00:22] high-freq: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

[00:35] anyways knowing about the raid doesn't help my gfx problem :( [00:35] Scunizi: i thought that the package was installed, but it wasn't - i was grepping the wrong list of things [00:35] Mania: NetworkManager next to clock, when you click on it should show wired and wireless networks [00:35] apparently removing quiet and splash helped, but why was it stuck at that boot script thing? [00:35] pundipall: a more specific question will be more likely to get answered [00:35] yes [00:35] My keyboard says IBM on it, so naturally a few keys don´t work. [00:35] Sakkath: probably a problem with your video card - did it work with those options removed? [00:35] but "no network connection" display me [00:35] hi all.... i have a prob... i lost my ubuntu cd... i have the image on the same box and have no more cd's...... im using apt-get to install somthing and it wants the cd is there a way to make it use the image [00:35] gmcastil, I dove into some docs on IM and found the gui. It's installed by default but many don't use it if they know the commandline syntax to do things. [00:36] gmcastil: yes "apparently removing quiet and splash helped, but why was it stuck at that boot script thing?" [00:36] guys do you recommend any particular ftp server? [00:36] Sakkath: the install should work just fine, though - it'll figure it out now [00:36] gmcastil: my vid card is fine i'm using it right now (: [00:36] 55981349 [00:36] well, when i extract firefox installlation file, which executable I have to run [00:36] i mounted the image to /cdrom but as soon as you hit enter in apt-get it unmounts it [00:36] ubuntu launch maybe hepls [00:36] Mania: does it allow you to do "Manual Configuration"?

My graphics card is 3d enabled, restricted driver installed, 3D enabled, but Desktop Effects just simply wont start [00:36] Sakkath: yeah, just do the installation, and all will work fine - mine did the same thing - i figured it was a poorly supported video card [00:36] I am running feisty, I hit something to do with my desktop areas on the lower right of my screen next to the trash bin. [00:36] cant change the option in Appearance [00:36] yes [00:36] Scunizi: i prefer CLI [00:36] gmcastil: i said, it gets stuck at that boot script thing [00:37] Sakkath: is it still getting stuck? [00:37] pundipall, did you download FF? [00:37] the boxes went away and I can not find them. [00:37] gmcastil: i had no way of telling if/where it was getting stuck w/the gfx not working, now that i removed quiet and splash -- i can see, and it is at that boot script line. i guess i could retry though. [00:37] pundipall, if you downloaded it there was no need.. It's already installed in Ubuntu [00:37] Sakkath: which bootscript line? [00:37] how can I fix broken sound? [00:37] !who > oldred` [00:37] guys do you recommend any particular ftp server? what options do i have [00:37] gmcastil: ill find out, 1 min [00:37] Sakkath: there are many bootscripts being run [00:37] i think it was about rc.local [00:38] hi all.... im using apt-get to install somthing and it wants the cd is there a way to make it use the image [00:38] paladin_, proftpd [00:38] Sakkath: rc.local is a directory in /etc - there are scripts in there that it's running [00:38] yes, i downloaded, and extracted the firefox installation for linux [00:38] paladin_, gftp [00:38] !ftp [00:38] FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd [00:38] Sakkath: do you see lines with something like: [OK] ?

[00:56] lol i haven't used console in so long i keep trying to do /win 1 instead of alt+f1 [00:56] Scunizi: i'll try that now [00:56] RoxanneEDM: can't change a filesystem while it's in use ;) [00:57] a lil' dissapointed this doesn't have gpm [00:57] i guess that makes sense [00:57] Sakkath, are you irc'ing with this machine or a different one? [00:57] Scunizi: this machine [00:57] bulmer: is more file in this directory, wich you mean? [00:57] well.. techincally a different one, i'm sshing. [00:57] sweet, i think its working [00:57] cool [00:58] RoxanneEDM: you know Fat32 has a lot of limitations on it, though, I hope [00:58] Sakkath, ok.. after running that command and answering the questions you'll need to restart X by CTRL+ALT+Backspace. It will knock you off this channel and make you log back in.. [00:58] a question for you all: has anyone noted problems with ubuntu-art and gnome-look? Neither site is responding here... [00:58] !ext3 [00:58] ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux.

[00:59] Scunizi: is there anything i can get like 'nopaste' in gentoo portage? i will paste these for you [01:00] Sakkath, I think it's an issue with the 8800.. I'm googling now to find the answer. [01:00] Mania you have to do some leg work, go see each one if you have to...check them each [01:00] Scunizi: that would be very gay. make sure you say 512MB or g92, cause it's the newer core. [01:00] bulmer: sorry but check for What!? [01:01] Mania-> you proly can narrow it down to something that has 43xx on it [01:01] no [01:01] Mania-> for a firmware, see if any of the broadcom is on that directory [01:01] Sakkath, that make it almost for sure.. hang on on phone [01:01] Scunizi: ok, grabbed nopaste off a gentoo box. let me paste my log for you, maybe i can install gpm (: [01:02] Mania-> if none, then you dont have the firmware to make that chip work then [01:02] magnetron: according to this page: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/faq.php#ranges 192.168.1.100/25 will allow connections from 192.168.1.100 through 192.168.1.225 [01:02] 'gpm has no installation candidate' :((((((((( [01:02] bulmer: i dont seen any file with name broadcom! and no 43xx, [01:02] gpm - General Purpose Mouse Interface [01:02] whats the best program to get smooth sexy graphics like: http://betterexplained.com/wp-content/uploads/rails/mvc-rails.png [01:02] it's there [01:02] hay im trying to get Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller runing full speed some one drected e to make sure the package was installed and then to run a sudo command ... will any one tell me what that command is please?

But my problem is as follows, if a 3d app is running and something appears above it (i.e. pidgin guification, rhythmbox notifactions) my entire system either slows to a crawl or hangs completely, both requiring a hard reboot to fix (sometimes not even a sysrq can reboot it when thi [01:18] is there a simple way to use apt-get to determine what packages are available from the repos listed in sources.lst?

[01:24] iKap: try syslog [01:24] iKap: u can also use the dmesg command [01:24] marion__, you need to use samba , that is all I can personnaly tell you , I'm not familiar with this issue [01:24] marion__: be more specific with your question and someone will be more able to help [01:24] snorkel, i just want someone to see the error log and tell me what might have went wrong, because i dont have the slightest clue. [01:25] Pelo: i'm looking for a way to directly interact with the cache using apt-get, not a frontend [01:25] marion, samba is for sharing w/a windows machine - NFS is for sharing w/a linux machine.

I am connect 2 linux machines. [01:26] Does disabling ipv6 have a negative effect? I like speed/ [01:26] Pelo: yes, i've been reading the man page for apt-cache - i don't see a way to just get all the package names from the cache [01:26] iKap: syslog [01:26] How do i setup a BNC ? [01:26] marion, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba?highlight=%28samba%29 [01:26] I have a server setup with Ubuntu 7.10 server. I want to attach 3 large USB hard drives and share them via Samba. How can I properly setup fstab/smb to share these since a reboot could map the USB drives to different device depending on boot order? [01:27] I've been a faithful ubuntu user for years. Started with 6.04 -> 6.10 -> 7.10 on my Dell M60/D600, hibernate worked fine. I just got a new laptop, m4300 (d830 on steroids) and can't for the life of me get Hibernate to work (suspend to ram is fine). The screen blanks, goes to console, backlight goes out and the system hangs (no disk IO) after the first hibernate attempt. Tons of references to it in the forum but can't find any solut [01:27] I need to use NFS for sharing between two Ubuntu machines? [01:27] marion__: SSH is a lot easier [01:27] gmcastil, http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [01:27] you could use FTP. [01:27] gmcastil: what is SSH? [01:27] ascarter: you could mount by /dev/by-uuid [01:27] Pelo: thanks, but that's not exactly what im looking for [01:27] ascarter: I think [01:28] marion__: if you are only using linux machines, check out www.techthrob.com/tech/sshfshowto.php [01:28] gmcastil, I know but it's the best I can do for you [01:28] marion__: secure shell - also has secure copy [01:28] snorkel, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54402/ [01:28] anyone know how to set up external monitors on laptops? [01:28] Pelo: i might just have to figure out where the package cache file is at and then just grep through it [01:28] marion, I think you can use samba [01:28] marion__: nfs is a little more complicated than you probably want to deal with at this point - i would just use scp [01:29] Hey can any one help me fix my scroll on my touch pad mouse, it is extremely slow at scrolling. [01:29] gmcastil, try looking in /var/cache/apt ... [01:29] Pelo: yeah [01:29] daniel_bergamini: Thanks. Do you know how I can find the uuid for the drive? [01:29] vbabiy: What is scp? [01:29] Jewfro-Macabbi: samba is for making linux partitions available to a windows box [01:29] I have tried many xorg hack but I can't seem how to make the scroll speed up [01:29] * Pelo is totaly useless today [01:29] marion__: scp == secure copy [01:29] here's the error message iKap: WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 [01:29] marion__: Secure copy [01:29] marion__: if you're using scp you will have to copy the file over, edit it, and then copy it back, however. SSHFS takes care of all this for you. [01:29] marion__: ssh allows you to remotely log into the box, and scp allows you to remotely copy from one box to another [01:30] ascarter: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid [01:30] i'm not sure of that error may have to search for it [01:30] how does the search function work in nautilus? Is it just a front end for 'find'? Does it search for just file types? all directoreis? I ask because i'm consistently unable to find the files i need using the search function in a branching dir [01:30] gmcastil, I'm aware but is that a strict limitation? I though it was *possible* to use it for FS's between lin machines also? [01:30] marion__: it depends on what you're trying to do [01:30] bulmer: removing alltray didn't change the situation - with th router off all progs take 5-10secs to open instead of one - watching top while they take their time opening doesn't show anything??? [01:30] RequinB5: I know, I hate that...it's useless [01:30] gmcastil-> you guys are providing solutions without asking the exact requirements :) [01:30] file names* [01:30] Jewfro-Macabbi: no idea, samba is really overkill for something that simple [01:30] gmcastil, true - I use SSH [01:30] Jewfro-Macabbi: i'd either use nfs (which is a bit mor complicated) or ssh [01:30] would 'find' in console be more useful? because i could just use that [01:31] gmcastil: I just want to see a folder on a remote machine and then drag files to and from it. [01:31] I've got SSHFS drives mounted over the 'net, I can stream video and music off them, and it's all encrypted :) [01:31] bulmer: i know, i should just not answer until people actualy ask sensibly worded questions [01:31] marion, SSH would be easier for that task [01:31] marion__: use sshfs, it's easy to setup and will give you exactly that [01:31] ere4sli-> i dont know, that is a weird problem.. [01:32] bulmer: yep - been searching for something similar but have got nowhere - tried chkrootkit but it drew a blank [01:32] Pelo, that did the trick, cheers! [01:33] I am searching for sshfs right now. [01:33] nemilar-> how far is the remote end? different ISP's ? [01:33] And now everyone here is going to hate me! XD [01:33] xomp, glad I could help [01:33] nemilar, sshfs looks nifty [01:33] I want to produce a raw listing of every package available from /etc/apt/sources.lst from the command line using apt. Does anyone have info about how to do this? the man page for apt-cache doesn't seem to have an option for anything exactly like this. [01:33] bulmer: I've got a mount that's about 2 or 3 miles away, and another halfway across the country (NY to Texas) [01:33] KaiForce: it's _awesome_ [01:33] ascarter: did that help explain it? [01:34] nemilar-> thats is indeed awesome, across the country..nice [01:34] ascarter: sorry, got pulled away [01:34] hey guys, gnome menu I want to reinstall wine but the old wine application menu is still there.. how do I remove it and reinstall it - I tried removing it via gnome menu editor then went to reinstall but wine didn't make a menu item for itself [01:34] Ok, since no one knows about nautilus search function, does anyone know of a very good search program? Not just file names [01:34] it would be even more awesome if i could see it on my external monitor [01:34] bulmer: I just like that it's encrypted :) [01:34] daniel_bergamini: sort of. I think my drive is on sdc1. What would the exact ls command be? [01:34] ascarter: you want to see the partitions? [01:35] ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid [01:35] will show you all the uuids and what they are currently linked to [01:35] daniel_bergamini: Ok yeah, I see that. I can use those in an fstab entry then? [01:35] I pulled out my USB cable when my external drive stopped responding. Now it won't mount. Can someone help me troubleshoot this? [01:35] What is the Ubuntu (console-based) alternative to the Red Hat / Fedora "chkconfig" command? [01:35] if the hdxy id's change in a reboot [01:36] ere4sli-> just out of curiosity, can you paste your pstree and also "mount" results [01:36] gmcastil, see if you can do someting with sudo apt-cache dump [01:36] anyone know what this error means "ome-laptop gdm[5226]: WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 " [01:36] Pelo: tried it already [01:36] Pelo: i'm looking for a replacement for: rpm -qa [01:36] ascarter: yes, that should work in a fstab entry, YMMV [01:36] I can tunnel http requests through ssh to another computer right, and use it as sort of a proxy? [01:36] Ok, since no one knows about nautilus search function, does anyone know of a very good search program? Not just file names [01:36] bit torrent client for ubuntu? [01:36] * Pelo is starting to get annyed at gmcastil for having already tried all his suggestion [01:36] Pelo: wait...nm, not that [01:36] bulmer: k [01:36] RequinB5: find is good [01:36] transmission flexusflexus [01:36] flexusflexus, transmission, azureus, there are hundreds... [01:37] * gmcastil thinks thats what normal users should do instead of spam #ubuntu with aquestions that the man pages can answer [01:37] RequinB5: beagle, locate, and tracker are all good [01:37] nemilar: I want to find a consistent id I can use in an fstab entry to make sure my USB drive comes up in the same mount point each time (and then I can share it via smb) [01:37] nemilar - find apparenly doesn't search the files, just the names [01:37] ok what about deluge? [01:37] anyone know how to convert a sequence of .jpg to a .mov [01:37] any good? [01:37] RequinB5: than beagle or tracker [01:37] ascarter: UUIDs, yeah [01:37] no manuel entries for those, are they in the repos? [01:37] Jewfro-Macabbi, deluge is nice and getting better, but I personnaly prefer running utorrnet on wine [01:37] ascarter-> look into udev, read some tutorials on it..im still trying to learn it [01:37] snorkel, do u kno what it means [01:37] flexusflexus, deluge is nice and getting better, but I personnaly prefer running utorrnet on wine [01:37] ok thanx [01:38] RequinB5: yeah...tracker is installed by default in 7.10 though [01:38] bulmer: Thanks - I'll check that out. [01:38] iKap: ur X window system is dying for some reason [01:38] RequinB5: you might want to see if trackerd is already running === saritor is now known as Saritor [01:38] iKap: check the logs for X [01:38] Pelo, wine? what's that special about utorrent? [01:38] Hi, newbie on Xubuntu here.. How do I get Xubuntu to find my 3c5098-c (ISA) Networkcard? Tried lspci but it's not listed. [01:38] 'tracker' does nothing, i'll look at running processes nemilar [01:38] RequinB5: I prefer Beagle, but I think it's mostly just because of the name (<3 bealges) [01:38] snorkel, which log should i check? [01:38] Jewfro-Macabbi, utorrent is for windows, wine is a compatibility layer for runing windows apps in linux [01:38] Bigstone-> well you know ISA is not pci right? try dmesg [01:39] yeah.. [01:39] true.. [01:39] lol ISA [01:39] Pelo, I know what wine is - I was just wondering what was that cool about utorrent you'd go through running wine to use it? [01:39] good ol' ISA [01:39] hehe [01:39] Jewfro-Macabbi: Ktorrent is quite nice [01:39] tried dmesg with no result.. [01:39] trackerd is running, nemilar, how do i accessit [01:39] Bigstone: that is probably a 3c509B (not 8)? [01:39] Jewfro-Macabbi, well I was a utorrent fanboy to start with [01:40] Nope.. it says 3c5098-c... [01:40] Gnome system monitor seems to use ~40% of the first CPU core when it runs, changing the update frequency has no affect on its cpu usage, and i can confirm it really is using this much cpu, and not just incorrectly reporting its own usage, top reports g-s-m using the same cpu amount. [01:40] iKap: check the /var/log directory for any logs for X server they should start with X i'm not on linux right now not sure [01:40] lufis, I like azureus - just because I'm used to it, and it offers encryption/I2p/tor networks. [01:40] is there an ubuntu package that has kernel documentation? [01:40] Pelo, I can dig it [01:40] Jewfro-Macabbi: you're really not supposed to be using bittorrent on tor [01:40] Jewfro-Macabbi: ok. just suggesting... didn't see your question, but ktorrent supports all of that [01:40] jscinoz, don't use system monitor then , open a terminal and type top [01:41] nemilar, that's true - but should I need that option for some reason - I like that it's there. [01:41] _stop using bittorrent on the TOR network!!_ (OT) [01:41] iKap: check Xorg.log i think [01:41] Jewfro-Macabbi: true ... [01:41] snorkel, okay [01:41] Is there a way to roll back the default ubuntu fonts? [01:41] nemilar: no one has any sense of courtesy or anything - leeches [01:41] ReconstitueKlean, would you like me to list them for you ? [01:41] iKap: check gdm.log also [01:42] Pelo: Unless you know a quick fix? [01:42] then sure [01:42] TOR is used by chinese refugees fighting for freedom of speech.... and by 16 year old boys downloading the newest punk rock album. === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:42] ReconstitueKlean, sans 10 for the first 3 , sans bold 10 for the fourth, monospace 10 for the last [01:42] pelo, i know, but still this kind of thing is a bug that should be addressed, it appears to be https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-monitor/+bug/93847 [01:42] so its a known bug at least. [01:42] nemilar, or by anyone looking for some anonymity [01:42] hi any one can help me to get cube 3d ? i couldnt find.. [01:43] Jewfro-Macabbi: yeah, but some are more deserving than others [01:43] Pelo: I have windows like fonts, I want to switch back to the 'cleartype' fonts. [01:43] this is all OT anyhow [01:43] jscinoz, it 's not a bug, when starting , the gnome system monitor just asks for a lot of cpu to get up to speed with allt he prcesses , then it settles down [01:43] Pelo: I think it's the fonts themselves [01:43] need help installing azureus [01:43] drrohin: what's the issue? [01:43] nemilar, I avoid that debate entirely - free speech is free speech - I won't decide who deserves what. [01:43] pelo, mine stays like that for the entire time its running, doesn't decerase [01:43] decrease* [01:43] ReconstitueKlean, what is the issue exactly ? I thought you jsut messedwit the defaults and wanted them back [01:43] i am really new to this and i am clueless [01:44] I pulled out my USB cable when my external drive stopped responding. Now it won't mount. Can someone help me troubleshoot this? [01:44] drrohin: sudo apt-get install azureus will install the azureus package [01:44] jscinoz, I think that is specific to your system , not sure why, it's not problem on mine [01:44] Pelo: My fonts have a windows-like scheme to them. [01:44] thank you [01:44] Leechzilla: are you sure the drive isn't dead? Have you tried fsck'ing it? [01:44] snorkel, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54403/ [01:44] drrohin: there's multiple routes of installing software: 1) from the "Add/remove" in the applications menu, synaptic, and the command line thru apt [01:45] ReconstitueKlean, help me out pleas, what is the issue you are trying to solve ? === zoom_ is now known as zoom [01:45] daniel_bergamini, it's an NTFS drive. I don't know if the drive's dead [01:45] drrohin: "add remove" is the easiest for beginners [01:45] lufis: and also the command line using aptitude :-) [01:45] pelo, going by the bug i linked, although people have it settle to ~10% after its initial high usage, 10% is far too much for it to be using, especially when top, which performs much the same function uses ~1% [01:45] what program controls automounting? [01:45] thankyou [01:45] I want to change the ubuntu fonts to a more polished-default like state. [01:45] hal [01:45] Pelo: [01:45] daniel_bergamini -- I also having trouble to find the ISA SOUNDCARD... An ISA bus issue? [01:45] Pelo: http://www.sharpfonts.com/images/comparison.png [01:45] mopflite: well, don't want to confuse them too much. [01:46] Pelo: I want to change the ubuntu fonts to a more polished-default like state. [01:46] drrohin, add/remove will show you available programs only, synaptic will show you all the packages available progs, libs etc, and when you know exactly what you want you can use the command line [01:46] any one can help me ?? [01:46] so how would i fix hal if cd/dvd are not automounting [01:46] Leechzilla: you might try rebooting into windows and running a checkdisk. I had an unclean NTFS volume that wouldn't mount (resize the partition actually) under Linux until I cleaned it in Windows [01:46] I also find apt-cache search useful for finding available packages [01:46] thanks [01:46] ReconstitueKlean, lcd screen ? [01:47] Leechzilla: I do not believe there is a fsck.ntfs in Ubuntu [01:47] okay. [01:47] iKap: nothing wrong in that log [01:47] taz, jsut state your problem if someone can help they will try [01:47] where can i find more info on the sudo command [01:47] iKap: try the gdm.log [01:47] !ntfs | Leechzilla [01:47] Leechzilla: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE [01:47] man sudo [01:47] drrohin: google, thru the manpages, etc. [01:47] hi pelo im try to find where to get cube ? [01:48] !sudo | drrohin [01:48] drrohin: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [01:48] drrohin: or type sudo --help [01:48] thanks [01:48] drrohin, sudo is jsut a prefix to a command to let the comp know you are running the command with admin priviledge [01:48] taz, you need to enable desktop effects ( compiz) , ask in #compiz for more info [01:48] it's a bit more versatile than that, that's just how ubuntu users tend to see it [01:48] oooo [01:48] Leechzilla, ntfsprogs has a utility, but I don't think they consider it stable [01:48] Gnine: I know. [01:48] ok [01:48] snorkel, in /var/log/gdm there are like 4 diff files. [01:48] cwillu: Risky to use it then? [01:48] Pelo: hehe...here's how you do it: apt-cache search "" | grep ...

[01:49] super user something right [01:49] gmcastil, congrats [01:49] Leechzilla, somewhat; I doubt it'll cause problems, but you won't get much sympathy if it does [01:49] drrohin, super user do or smeting [01:49] switch user [01:49] !automount [01:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about automount - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:49] snorkel, they all have the same time. [01:49] evil_tech, look up hal [01:49] you can use it to impersonate other users as well as root [01:50] !hal [01:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about hal - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:50] it's just not something you'd want to do very often :) [01:50] !fstab | evil_tech [01:50] evil_tech: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [01:50] Okay, I'll try fixing it in Windows when I reboot next time [01:50] hey pelo the screensavers when i run the ther still jerky some of them run slow what do you recomend i do? [01:50] done then next what ?? [01:50] Pelo, that's not the automounter though :p [01:50] iKap: i'm not sure which one but one of them should have some error message related to your X crashing [01:50] jason_, I don't use screensavers myself, I jsut set it to turn off the monitor [01:51] cwillu, automount can mean so many things to so many ppl [01:51] yeah well how can i tell if my graphics are working properly [01:51] jason_: glxgears [01:51] jason_, , is your video card integrated ? [01:51] ok [01:51] i think so [01:51] its a chipset [01:51] snorkel, Fatal server error: [01:51] Caught signal 11. Server aborting [01:51] jason_, check in your bios setting to see how much memory you have allocated to the video card and then change that in xorg.conf [01:52] ok ill try that [01:52] jason_: probably just not a very good graphics card. some of the scrensavers are very demanding. [01:52] jason_, that mgiht help a bit with speed [01:52] !paste [01:52] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [01:52] hm... [01:52] Is ISA a problem for Xubuntu? [01:52] ok....the Xfce terminal sucks hardcore [01:52] Bigstone: no [01:52] jason_, what graphic card /chipset is it ? [01:52] is 2800fps+ good in glxgears? [01:52] Bigstone: but, you may not have support for it if it's really strange [01:52] Pelo: last time I checked the video ram thing in xorg.conf is ignored by most drivers, nvidia in particular. They just auto-detect it. [01:52] intel [01:53] umm .. [01:53] hmm..ok [01:53] i have a network machine that's basically a headless server, it's running ubuntu 7.04 on it, earlier today the power went out and it turned it off, now i'm having trouble initiating an ssh session or getting the nfs shares to mount properly, can anyone tell me what i can do to fix it? [01:53] i think but not sure i saw nividia on windows [01:53] the same with my soundcard to then... ISA as well.. [01:53] iKap: i'm not sure about that error perhaps something to do with accessing memory incorrectly check with others here or online [01:53] jason_, my intel 856g chipset can do most screensavers with relatively good speed, it's not so hot in compiz stuff however, some ofthe effects get a bit choppy and I can'T enable all of them , just so you know [01:53] i still have windows xp installed im trying t replace that with linux soo.. [01:54] hmm [01:54] snorkel, okay thanks. [01:54] jason_: replace meaning actually replace? [01:54] bulmer: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54404/ - pstree and mount commands - /dev/shm is a file server that hasn't been on today [01:54] Pelo: I wouldn't try rss-glx's Hyperspace on an 856g. [01:54] yes [01:54] jason_: soooo..? [01:54] completly [01:54] how can i connect to my headless server to see whats going on during bootup? [01:54] cool [01:54] cool me? [01:55] anyone have the solution to the hang on hibernate problem under 7.10? [01:55] bluefox83: put a head on it? i don't think you can during bootup. [01:55] iKap: i'm thinking its a memory issue [01:55] jason_: run the installer, delete your windows partition, repartition it according to your preference [01:55] oh i will just gota make sure i dont need it [01:55] hsau [01:55] daniel_bergamini: disable hibernation? =P that's what i ended up doing... [01:55] jason_: windows? no, you don't need windows to install linux, but you'll lose everything on it [01:55] i know that lol [01:55] jason_: so, back up everything you want to take with you [01:55] dman unacceptable ;) [01:56] jason_: well, then get to work :) [01:56] dman suspent2ram works fine... it's something [01:56] i just used to use windows before [01:56] lol... [01:56] helloworld! [01:56] Is OPENBSD-INETD installed on gutsy by default? [01:56] there is no standard solution for hibernation issues [01:56] jason_: run the installer and when you partition the drive, make sure you put /home on a differnet partition - you'll need 3 at the least [01:56] daniel_bergamini: i see. i couldn't get suspend to work either though. i think it's jus tmy laptop. good luck! [01:56] lns: I don't think any inetd is installed by default [01:56] i alredy installed linux so all i gota do is get rid of windows part [01:56] hello people can somebody help me about Apache/2.2.4 http server? [01:56] a [01:57] what do i put as the directory in 'find' to use the current directory [01:57] Starnestommy, thank you, i thought it was [01:57] dman: well I guess I'm better off than some [01:57] jason_: yeah...but, you might want to absorb that partition into something else [01:57] I'm having trouble installing U7.1. I've got 1 SATA and 1 IDE drives. When I try to manually partition the IDE drive, I get an error message telling me it can't do it. Any ideas??? [01:57] * lns edits his ubuntu forums post [01:57] stefko: you might try an apache channel [01:57] i will do as soon as ubuntu is runing proplery [01:57] i make the server from my box [01:57] stefko, that is too broad a quesiton, you need to be more specific [01:57] stefko: unless its ubuntu related, you'd probably have better luck [01:57] ok [01:57] Ubuntu detects my single-core processor as a dual-core, and I have no idea why. [01:57] MHz128: what command are you using and what's the error? [01:58] gmcastil: look my server its http://79.126.192.195/ [01:58] i still gota connected ,y laptop to the network [01:58] stefko: uh...no? [01:58] with linux [01:58] gmcastil: how i can upload a files on it ? [01:58] a [01:58] daniel_bergamini: exactly ; ] [01:58] what do i put as the directory in 'find' to use the current directory [01:58] Bigstone has left the building... [01:58] EOF. [01:58] xthegoat121x: it might eb because it's a hyperthreading processor, but I've never used one [01:58] *be [01:58] RequinB5: find defaults to . [01:58] stefko: try #apache for people who know what they're doing... [01:58] gmcastil: im using the gui install. it doesn't give specific error information [01:59] gmcastil - sorry, . is ? [01:59] it recognizes the IDE as a slave, even tho its on a primary channel [01:59] Buenas dias, tengo un problema con synaptics, alguien me puede ayudar? [01:59] !es | phoenixz [01:59] phoenixz: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [01:59] !es | phoenixz [01:59] !es | phoenixz [01:59] oops [01:59] phoenixz: aqui es para solamente ingles [01:59] well brb pelo im gonna changed the vram setting then try outglxgears [01:59] ere4si-> i have to pickup someone right now..sorry, be back in 10mins [02:00] ok ok ok!! :) [02:00] magnetron: did you get my message before about netmasks? [02:00] bulmer thnks [02:00] MHz128: so, what exactly won't the installer let you do? [02:00] Starnestommy, Lovely. [02:00] i hope this works hopefully it will and if it does that will be wonderfull [02:00] gmcastil: install u7 to the IDE drive with a custom partition [02:01] jason_, intel graphic card should hve been recognised from the get go , you should not hve had to tweak it [02:01] Pelo: what is a good fps for glxgears, anyway? i got ~6000 [02:01] snorkel, do you think ill be fine in the future, or will this be a reoccurring error? because i had alot of tasks running at once, pidgin, xchat, firefox(5-6 tabs open including youtube) and couple other small things. [02:01] is there a away to relaod the partition table as it is in /proc/partitions ? [02:01] i can't seem to log in as root [02:01] gmcastil - sorry, . is ? [02:01] dman, no idea, I'm not the one who recommended glxgears, I think it was cellofelow [02:01] is there sum sort of default root password? [02:01] RequinB5: current directory, sorry [02:01] tom2002: did you enable root account? [02:01] i'm not sure [02:01] thx :P [02:01] tom2002, there is not root in ubuntu [02:01] tom2002: there is no root password [02:02] how do i do that [02:02] ??? [02:02] Pelo: but there is root [02:02] anyone know how to convert a sequence of .jpg to a .mov [02:02] !root | tom2002 [02:02] tom2002: 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 [02:02] tom2002: if you want to log in as root, just type: sudo -i [02:02] tom2002, run your command with sudo [02:02] !user | tom [02:02] tom2002: you can set the root password by "sudo passwd root" [02:02] tom: To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo [02:02] k thx [02:02] Pelo: well... (concerning root account) [02:02] hey guys, i set up ubuntu yesterday on a somewhat old computer with a CRT screen, everything worked fine. Today, i try to plug in an LCD screen, and I get the error 'Video mode not supported' on the screen when X starts. What should i do ? [02:02] tom2002: the root passwd is randomized upon installation - ubuntu enforces the sudo thang [02:02] gmcastil: no it's not [02:02] gmcastil: it's not randomized, it's disabled [02:02] !root [02:02] 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 [02:02] anyone knows how can I know the name of the makefile used (given to 'make' with -f switch) inside a makefile? [02:03] so no need to run glxgears [02:03] * Myiasia must now reboot! Oh great Windows demands it of her. *rolls her eyes* [02:03] tom2002: getting around it is possible, but HIGHLY not recomended. [02:03] anyone ? [02:03] Skwid1, it's probabaly a refresh issue or someting like that, you'll probably need to tweak the device monitor settings in xorg.conf [02:03] nemilar: i'll take your word for it, but /etc/passwd seems to indicate that root does indeed have a passwd [02:03] will i decide not to go with dmraid [02:03] Skwid1, anyone what ? [02:03] to much work [02:03] gmcastil: there are no passwords in /etc/passwd ;) [02:03] Pelo: what should i set the refresh to ? [02:04] gmcastil: passwords are kept in /etc/shadow [02:04] Pelo: it's a 15'' samsung lcd [02:04] !flash [02:04] 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 » [02:04] nemilar: the passwd field is replaced by shadow, i'm aware of that [02:04] /msg ubotu FlashIssues [02:04] Skwid1, the horz synk and vert ref or what ever of your monitor, check the label on the back [02:04] ok thanks ! [02:04] there is a great thread for flash on the forums [02:04] gmcastil: you can disable a password in the shadow file by giving it a char that isn't allowed in the hashes, "*" for instance [02:04] Any other ideas out there regarding a single core being detected as a dual core? [02:05] xthegoat121x, hyper threading [02:05] if you are having problems with 64bit flash, install the older version [02:05] iKap: it may be memory related too try checking memory for errors [02:05] xthegoat121x: you sure it's not just hyperthreading? [02:05] nemilar: ...i see, is that what the ! is all about? [02:05] hyper threading is great [02:05] g'night folks [02:05] gmcastil: exactly [02:05] xthegoat121x: sorry. my core2 is definitely identified as 2 core.... [02:05] nemilar: thanks for explaining that, then - i was mistaken [02:05] why is it that 'find term' only looks at file names and 'find . term' searches the files? What is the syntax to alias the second with the first? [02:05] snorkel, i found this, seems like a firefox/browser related error: atal server error: [02:05] Caught signal 11. Server aborting [02:05] nemilar: that being said, enabling a root password isn't really all that hard [02:05] snorkel, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=96068&page=2 sorry. [02:05] nemilar: i don't see why its not recommended either [02:05] gmcastil: yeah, it's just sudo asswd root [02:05] I need help with syntax for a chmod command... For a given directory, I want all subdirs to be 755 and all regular files to be 744. Any suggestions? [02:05] *passwd [02:05] nemilar: yeah :) [02:05] gmcastil: because the thought is people will then login as root [02:06] nemilar: well, yeah - su - [02:06] LiraNuna, nemilar, I know it is a HT processor, the only thing is, the CPU usage never spikes above 50%... and there's a folder at /proc/CPU2.... would that still be there with hyperthreading? [02:06] coriander, you could use find to look for directories and use chmod on the results [02:06] gmcastil: I mean from the GDM login screen [02:06] nemilar: yeah, i know what you menat - but, people should be smart enough to not do that [02:06] xthegoat121x: cat /proc/cpuinfo [02:06] will show you your CPU's info [02:07] iKap: maybe a firefox add-on is causing it too [02:07] xthegoat121x, I have a hyper threading processor, and it's being detected as dual CPU, that's all I know - and it works :D [02:07] if you have a modern single-core, there should be two processor entries [02:07] coriander, find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} I believe [02:07] nemilar: i understand the paranoia thats extended for ubuntu users - there are a lot of ways to shoot your foot off and a lot people using ubuntu are really really green, if the irc channel is any indication [02:07] yeah that's exactly it, gmcastil [02:07] corbbuli, Not entirely sure about the syntax, CHECK THE RESULTS before you try that please! :P [02:07] nemilar: super green [02:07] is there a way to reload devices [02:07] LiraNuna: xthegoat121x : i'm pretty sure hyper threading just shows to the os as two processors. [02:07] mirak: what are you tyring to do? [02:07] dman, that's what I read too, [02:07] My desktop is 800x600 when i want it to be 1207x768 or whatever that demension is.. can anyone help? [02:08] LiraNuna: xthegoat121x yes, it does - assuming its been compiled for it === chryss_ is now known as chryss [02:08] gmcastil: any ideas? [02:08] LiraNuna: i know it is that way on my windows comp (p4 w/ ht). no ubuntu there yet, unfortunately =[ [02:08] gmcastil: I am not trying to find an alternative way to something [02:08] dman, nemilar, LiraNuna, cat /proc/cpuinfo/ shows TWO processors, identical. [02:08] phoenixz, I get "find: missing argument to `-exec'" [02:08] MHz128: need more informtation about your setup - i have no idea what your partition table looks for it [02:08] Ok, i rephrase my question. 'find . term' gives me every file regardless of term and 'find term' gives me nothing [02:08] gmcastil: I want to reload devices for one drive, that's all [02:08] mirak: what do youmean by reloading devices again? are you referring to kernel modules? [02:09] ok its up 128 vram but i fogot that sudo comand agen pelo [02:09] xthegoat121x: that is correct. it is detecting the ht [02:09] and in XP, it's detected as a single core. [02:09] xthegoat121x: if it's showing two processors, that's hyperthreading [02:09] nemilar: not necessarily [02:09] XP is lame ;D hyperthreading is dual core basically [02:09] if it was a duelcore it would show 4 [02:09] gmcastil: no the devices accorging to parition map, so /dev/hdaX etcetera [02:09] coriander, mmmm, check google on find syntaxis for find and execute on results [02:09] jason_: pelo left a bit ago [02:09] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-threading [02:09] gmcastil: yeah, I know...but most likely [02:09] aww [02:09] shucks [02:09] gmcastil: its a totally blank IDE drive...... [02:09] nemilar: my core2 shows as 2 procs and it doesn't use HT [02:09] "In order to use the Hyper-threading capability of a Hyper-threading capable CPU, the operating system must be able to support Hyper-threading. Mere multiprocessor support is not enough to properly make use of Hyper-threading on a Hyper-threading capable system.

[02:10] read as: XP doesn't support it, linux is greater then XP [02:10] My desktop is 800x600 when i want it to be 1207x768 or whatever that demension is.. can anyone help? [02:10] 'find . term' gives me every file regardless of term and 'find term' gives me nothing [02:10] MHz128: you need to create a partition in the empty space [02:10] LiraNuna: lol [02:10] RequinB5: find . -name [02:10] dman: maby you can help me my vram is upto 128mbs should that run most the screensavers at full speed? [02:10] phoenixz, ok thanks, just needed a place to get started [02:10] RequinB5: example: find /home/nemilar -iname "*.txt" [02:10] jason_: yes [02:10] gmcastil, you said something about "being compiled for it," should I have specially compiled something?

[02:11] Ericl80427: np [02:11] gmcastil, I sure hope you're right.

[02:12] or dman: [02:12] gmcastil, amen brother! [02:12] how do i convert .idx and .sub to a normal .srt file in ubuntu? [02:12] or anyone lol [02:12] xthegoat121x: that doesn;t happen often in linux in my experience. less freezes [02:13] jason_: i don't know that, sorry. try 'man xorg.conf' at the terminal [02:13] anyone know how to convert a sequence of .jpg to a .mov [02:13] i so apreceate the help guys when i understand ubuntu more i will help others oo [02:13] my internet is sluggish when going to new sites on ubuntu, why is that?

I get errors like "mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /boot busy" when trying to mount any of my drives, but using /dev/mapper/sdb1 for the device seems to work. My fstab is by UUID, so it seems to be grabbing the wrong device...

And I'll deal with any problems I have.. :) [02:16] LiraNuna: awesome. just saying how hyperthreading is pretty pointless... [02:16] xthegoat121x, cause linux is superior to it [02:16] ok.

[02:35] dman: Thank you again. [02:35] K_Nine: no problem. make something cool. [02:35] gmcastil: I found what I was searching [02:35] s there a way to reconfigure fonts to default in ubuntu?

[02:58] does anyone know what things i could compare, between two servers, in terms of character coding /localization? I SSH to both of them via putty, on the old one things look great, putty is set for ISO8859-1. In the new server, i cant get swedish chars allrigth ant curses apps look like hell. How can i find out how to set up the new server just like the old?? [02:58] gmcastil, that makes me feel better, though I don't think I'm squeezing as much performance out of this beast as I should. [02:58] xthegoat121x: it looks like ubuntu builds its kernels with smp support standard - some distros (namely redhat) still keep them esparate (one smp and one not) [02:58] where is gnome config filed located?? [02:58] xthegoat121x: for what reason? [02:58] Sorry, I am trying to mount a partition of my laptop's HDD by using $ sudo mount /dev/sda1 [02:59] RequinB5, your syntax looks ok - update the db [02:59] Here is the error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54412/ [02:59] deadlylife: you need a mount point [02:59] thanks for pastebin [02:59] gmcastil, it seems that I'm only pulling off half as much as I could on my laptop when I had an equivalent amount of RAM [02:59] gmcastil, I have one [02:59] deadlylife: no, your command is wrong [02:59] hi [02:59] gmcastil, where can i find the gnome config file? [02:59] deadlylife, you need to give somewhere for it to be mounted to [03:00] any software to burn mp3 to dvd so as to play in car audio [03:00] xthegoat121x: hardware, ram, other deices make things differnet [03:00] ere4si : sudo updatedb works but then locate /home/me/econ* doesn't give anything [03:00] ere4si, In fstab? [03:00] Can anyone help me figure out how to build GCC 3.0.4 from source? [03:00] deadlylife, like - sudo mount -v /dev/sda1 /media (your file name for it) [03:00] gmcastil, yeah, exactly. Which brings me to my next point, how difficult is the change to the new drivers from AMD for ATI devices? [03:00] john__: www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs [03:01] ere4si, what is the -v for? [03:01] xthegoat121x: for what device? [03:01] deadlylife, verbose - so you know what it did [03:01] gmcastil, ATI Radeon X1300 [03:01] how do i find out my IP address [03:01] ere4si, output? [03:01] was hoping someon can help me in converting ac3 audio to aac, any utiltiies that could do it would awsome [03:02] deadlylife, that should have been /media/(your file) - make the dir first [03:02] deadlylife, it will say it mounted it or not === john__ is now known as anothrguitarist [03:02] ere4si, I have the dir, I have the entry in fstab, should it not mount it to the directory I set in fstab when I mount the dev? [03:03] hello,. im looking for some help regarding my nvidia drivers and making sure i have the correct ones ,,,, [03:03] deadlylife, if the fstab entry is right it should mount on boot [03:03] OH! [03:03] How do I disable the pc speaker module? I'm used to blacklisting it in the /etc/rc.conf in archlinux but don't know where exactly to look on ubuntu [03:03] It's a fat32, not ext3! I thought I formatted it to ext3, sorry for your time and thanks for you help ere4si. [03:04] k deadlylife :) [03:04] any good audio burning software [03:04] Industrial, /etc/modules, blacklist the module there [03:04] Industrial, whoops not that one [03:04] i can't seem to pull the same performance on video as i could on windows:( for example my refresh rate is only 50 and i have a horizontal flicker when i run videos [03:05] if i could get over this hurdle , i would have one less reason to never go back haha [03:05] hi, i need some help to recover my gnome-terminal (doesn't start) === bruenig|laptop is now known as bruenig [03:07] xander: have you loaded the video drivers yet?

[03:07] i used envy to set that up ... [03:07] RequinB5, are you sure that's where the file is - just tried it several times [03:08] PriceChild: any idea? I couldn't find it :P [03:08] xander: perhaps your xorg settings aren't correct? [03:08] lonley , if you run 64 bit linux , install 32 bit firefox [03:08] hmm xorg .. ok i try to find that [03:08] run 32bit.. [03:08] hmm i dont' know then sorry hah i tried [03:09] at 1st time it view file from youtube..and then cannot.. [03:09] Mr-LonelY: i would suggest searching the 64-bit ubuntu forums - that issue has been well documented [03:09] gmcastil: turn my 32bit machine into 64bits? === freeksh0w86 is now known as the_darkside_986 [03:10] Mr-LonelY: no...getting flash to work on firefox [03:10] Mr-LonelY: there isn't a 64-bit linux flash binary yet [03:10] hes runnin 32 it hink [03:10] hi everyone. does anyone know of a guide for using mdbtools-g... to export mdb files to openoffice database? [03:10] but i'm alreay runnning in 32bit [03:11] Mr-LonelY: oh..well, then, it's even easier - go read the forums, using flash on firefox is explained pretty well in there [03:11] Industrial, nope sorry... can't believe i can't remember [03:11] ok..thanks gmcastil and everyone [03:12] hello every one i can't get my modem work on my ubuntu and knoppix and i have dell inspiron 6400 my modem card is (conexant hda d110 mdc v92 modem) this under windows name any easy way to get the driver for this modem ?

[03:13] I have another question; when I in Appearance Preferences > Visual Effects select Extra I get an error; The Composite extension is not available. I know that it installed compiz and I have restarted since. I am also running a 3d enabled driver (ATI) [03:14] Industrial: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22composite+extension+not+available%22&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a [03:14] hi people [03:14] Industrial: i'd suggest the first one :) [03:14] .. ofcourse :p [03:14] :) google is your friend [03:15] yeah its my irc reflex [03:15] package name 'flashplugin-nonfree' , Mr-LonelY [03:15] gmcastil do i neeed to edit the xorg.config.txt file? [03:15] jason_: uh....? [03:15] to change the graphics card up to 128 mmb [03:16] ok [03:16] you know? [03:16] here is what i found in the xorg.conf [03:16] jason_: if you installed a new graphics card, you'll need to install new drivers and probably hack on xorg.conf some [03:16] Section "Device" [03:16] Identifier "Generic Video Card" [03:16] Driver "nvidia" [03:16] Busid "PCI:5:0:0" [03:16] Option "AddARGBVisuals" "True" [03:16] Option "NoLogo" "True" [03:16] xander: You should ask someone about the pastebin ;) [03:16] this is a laptop and its not a new graphics card [03:16] the same one from when i bought it [03:16] i don't care about pastebin :) [03:16] huh? [03:16] linuc dident detect it [03:17] xander: pastebin is an extern place to paste large text buffers [03:17] jason_: Is it ATI? [03:17] !pastebin [03:17] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [03:17] xander: some people in here get all bent about it [03:17] oh i didn't think that was large [03:17] thruin its a intel [03:17] ATI is a pain in Linux, especially ATI's with tv-outs. [03:17] well they should find better things to do then lol [03:17] xander: it wasn't...people just start spamming that pastebin warning [03:17] jason_: Ah, I see - and what is the problem now? [03:17] i just want help determining what the proper driver is and how to get it on hah [03:17] !enter | xander [03:17] xander: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:17] xander: so, you get 4 lines of pasted text, and then 5 people try to act cool by spamming that thing [03:17] It does not detect the right card, or there are problems with the screen etc? [03:17] its not running fully [03:17] jason_: Fully as in hardware accel? [03:17] hi [03:18] yeah [03:18] hi all [03:18] jason_: i'm not really sure at all what your problem is - please restate it [03:18] how can i chage my opera lenguage [03:18] ok [03:18] 1 sec [03:18] Gnine: still cannot view file from youtube [03:18] i hate this [03:18] ok , i think i have the wrong driver installed [03:18] Intel's are slow.. slow in Linux and to get hardware accel you have to specify the proper driver in 'device' [03:18] I came in earlier asking about a good usenet binary grabber. alt.bin is a freeware client for windows, and it runs flawlessly (so far) under wine [03:18] any extra plugins installed in your firefox, Mr-LonelY [03:19] video performance is poor [03:19] Thurin1: i agreed with..My machine faster when using AMD [03:19] Gnine: nop [03:19] how can i chage the lenguage of my opera [03:19] i have a intel Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller and i dont think ubuntu deteced it when i installed the os ot my hd [03:19] Mr-LonelY: Yah, in general the best video card for Linux is probably Nvidia. [03:19] Shuggle: http://www.techtalkz.com/ubuntu-linux/64016-dedicated-usenet-binary-grabber.html [03:19] Thurin1: agreed [03:19] the screensavers are not running fully speed [03:20] jason_: Probably not but you should look at what is under your 'device' - in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:20] Hey all, how do i disassociate .sh files from everything? At the moment the want to run in wine, so i can't do ./build.sh, for example [03:20] im lookin at that file [03:20] ok [03:20] Gnine: i got headache to solve this flash player issue [03:20] but its not really tellin me much hah [03:20] If the device says 'vga' or something similar it was not, but if it says 'intel' either your client is slow or something is messed with Mesa. [03:20] jason_: Open a console window/Terminal and type 'glxinfo' check at the top for 'direct rendering' [03:20] ok 1 sec [03:21] ok [03:21] hi [03:21] pingui: hey [03:21] glxinfo | grep -i direct [03:21] ok Ubuntu-ites, can someone point me to a page that explains how to configure Gutsy to work with both the internal and external monitor on a laptop? [03:21] Mr-LonelY, install the shockwave plugin from here for youtube - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:7 [03:21] last time i'm using feisty..no problem with flash player..and i upgrade to gutsy [03:21] can you help me qhit little problem [03:21] KaiForce: i'd google for dual monitor ubuntu [03:21] whats the !command for mouse help? [03:21] direct rendering: Yes [03:21] . [03:21] ere4si: i'll try now [03:21] #cs262 [03:22] anyone know how to get the w32codec package? === bmk789 is now known as bmk789_bed [03:23] www.metibuntu.org [03:23] i guss it tell me that direct rendering is enabled [03:23] gmcastil: roger wilco, thanks pard. [03:23] http://www.medibuntu.org/ [03:23] cool, thanks [03:24] Mr-LonelY: the problem is not with Gutsy, but with Adobe and their changes to Flash [03:24] jason_: Well then it's enabled. ;) [03:24] keram`: sed 's/t/d/' [03:24] jason_: Intel's are slow.. that's all [03:24] gmcastil: wow, the state of dual monitor support on ubuntu seems pretty weak. [03:24] mneptok: i see..i already have libflashplayer.so in mozilla plugin [03:24] KaiForce: it isn't [03:25] Has anybody had this weird thing that all windows only fill about 3/4 of the screen even though it's Maximized? (looks like this: http://home.planet.nl/~plau/Screenshot1.png ) [03:25] open synaptic and search for w32codecs . apt-get should work too , keram` [03:25] i didnt find it when i searched [03:25] Intel video cards onboard are sort of like the lombatamized modems of the past called 'win-modems' [03:25] KaiForce: actually, you'd probably have better luck just searching for 'dual monitor xorg' [03:25] i did [03:25] Thurin1: OH GOD!!!! [03:25] using gutsy? [03:25] gmcastil: You loved it [03:25] :P [03:25] Thurin1: NO [03:25] gmcastil: ok will do [03:25] hmm [03:25] Mr-LonelY: Are you trying to get flash going in Opera? [03:25] Thurin1: i'm having hot flashes [03:26] oki then i guss on to the next step in the setup process [03:26] The new flash version does not work in Opera, Adobe even mentions it on their website - keep that in mind. [03:26] gmcastil: haha [03:26] Thurin1: opera?meaning? [03:26] jason_: :) [03:26] Gnine, its not showing up [03:26] Thurin1: i hated those fucking things [03:26] Mr-LonelY: Ah, nothing, it's a browser - www.opera.com [03:26] gmcastil: Yeah they were bad, even in Windows they were bad. [03:26] Mr-LonelY: a terrible browseser [03:26] yeah im thinking about stuff now [03:27] Thurin1: amazing how just about everything with 'win' means it sucks [03:27] gmcastil: I love Opera it's been my fav since version 3 haha [03:27] gmcastil: haha [03:27] Thurin1: sed 's/win/lose/' [03:27] hehe [03:27] gmcastil: Except for the two things which excel on that system, music production and games. [03:27] Thurin1: it's trye [03:27] true* [03:27] jason_: If you can try to update your videocard.. or find some tweaks via - google. [03:28] jason_: Sometimes a few 'options' lines under device'' can make a world of difference. [03:28] ohmm [03:28] I have this crappy emachine desktop, and X won't start from the ubuntu livecd [03:28] I took a Radeon 7000 and with enough tweaking had it running Compiz Fusion like a pro. [03:28] so I can't install ubuntu [03:28] unstable: Any error messages? [03:28] compiz runs ok [03:28] gmcastil: okay so I got it working. Is there any panel/option window where I can play with compiz settings? its not in the notification area :< (I only used beryl once before so i don't know how it works exactly) [03:28] i can get the cube to work fine and the wobbles [03:29] Thurin1: no, it just hangs and doesn't work [03:29] wobbles of the screen [03:29] Thurin1: It's some intel 845 graphics, probably very cheap [03:29] i like makeing the big cube affect [03:29] i got this on back in 06 [03:29] Industrial: uh....i'm pretty much a CLI guy only, so i won't be much help with that kinda thing, sorry [03:29] its a hp [03:29] np :> [03:30] hp pavaillon notebook [03:30] ewwww [03:30] i konw [03:30] i konw [03:30] know* [03:30] !ccrm | Industrial [03:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about ccrm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:30] unstable: And you have 256MB's of ram yes?

[03:32] Thurin1: I don't know how much memory it is [03:32] Thurin1: o on the computer itself, I don't know how much memory. but probably at least 256 yes [03:33] unstable: Well that may be the problem - you need 'at least' 256mb's of RAM but on a slower Emachines system I think you would be better with 512mb. [03:33] unstable: Ok... so what happens you boot and it just freezes up? [03:33] can anyone help me use locate to search an entire directory tree [03:33] It takes a few minutes for the LIVE-CD to load soo.... [03:33] anyone use sshfs to mount servers? Is this syntax right? "sshfs user@server.com: /mount/point/" [03:33] RequinB5: locate doesn;t work like that [03:33] Ubuntu is one of the slowest live-cd's actually [03:34] RequinB5: locate searches all files and directories by referencing a precompiled database [03:34] Jangari: I think you need to add type, and method - ro,rw etc [03:34] hey where can i get the fixed flash package? [03:34] i keep getting "/mount/point is a directory" [03:34] RequinB5, sometimes before using "locate" you have to "sudo updatedb" [03:34] vbabiy: Fixed flash package? [03:34] is it safe to hide the "Examples" folder? [03:34] no, sshfs doesn't need type [03:34] it is the type [03:35] mneptok: Ok, got that. I need a way to search an entire directory tree for a given phrase in teh title [03:35] yeah ubotu use to give me link [03:35] jack-desktop, delete it if you want [03:35] its not working any more [03:35] yeah, i updated, that isn't the phroblem [03:35] Jangari: True [03:35] RequinB5: ls -R /path/to/dir | grep filename [03:35] it was on the Ubuntu form [03:35] I don't use it myself - just swinging ;) [03:35] !flashIssuese [03:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about flashissuese - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:35] yeah [03:35] okay [03:35] RequinB5: or use find.

I'm on ethernet now.. what's wrong with this? broadcom 54 maxperformance something [03:36] worked fine before [03:36] FreeBSD ports are cool - but god could I use some apt-get goodness right about now :[ [03:36] deahtihs: the problem is that "Broadcom" bit [03:36] oh [03:36] so it's always a problem on ubuntu? [03:37] i was having problems with find, why i switched to locate... i tried ls -R /path/to/dir | grep filename didn't work [03:37] deahtihs: Broadcom is probably the worst possible vendor in terms of support for open source OSes [03:37] jason sighs [03:37] RequinB5, use the find method above, full proof [03:37] my wireless worked finer before [03:37] mneptok: linksys is about as bad [03:37] finer? [03:37] donset know ware to go from hear [03:37] RequinB5: you need to replace /path/to/dir with the actual directory path. and "filename" with the name you're looking for [03:37] mneptok, yeah, thanks :) [03:37] gmcastil: Linksys does not make wifi chipsets [03:37] mneptok, i mean i got that [03:38] mneptok: i know...broadcom makes the chips for linksys [03:38] bruenig - permission to sub -name with -iname? [03:38] gmcastil: which explains why Linksys has issues. [03:38] RequinB5, if you need case insensitive, then use iname [03:38] i have a linksys router... [03:38] bruenig: k [03:38] mneptok: yeah, dunno about the newer ones...i remember the w54g bein a real pain [03:39] deahtihs: its not so much the router...its the nics [03:39] this is what i get from sshfs: fuse: missing mountpoint, bash: /media/Azoulay: is a directory [03:39] bruenig - thanks, works prefectly [03:39] deahtihs: is this a wireless card, or embedded? [03:39] am i putting in the wrong syntax somewhere? [03:39] oh uhm [03:39] i have a laptop [03:39] Can i omit the .? isn't current dir find's default path [03:39] just for the record I've had a rather solid experience with Linksys hardware [03:40] hey whats the code i need to add to add windows to grub and what file do i add it too?

[03:41] embedded i guess since it's a laptop [03:41] Total annihilation [03:42] bleep bleep, bop bop [03:42] see yall [03:42] deahtihs: is it built-in to the laptop, or a Cardus/PCMCIA card? [03:42] <-- dumbass [03:42] Nah its an old game, not too many people know of it [03:42] Malcom2073: was that through wine/winex (or whatever it's called now)? [03:42] BD, can you try dpkg-reconfigure grup maybe? [03:42] ubuntu fonts are really big.... how to get them regular small size?

[03:43] can i use something for usb then [03:43] might've been due to the fact it uses d3d [03:43] deahtihs, try Hardy, it has been working rather good with my broadcom card [03:43] mneptok: I'm having trouble finding a game called save, got a link?

[03:44] what does hardy do [03:44] ah, figured it out, I had the alias in my bashrc over two lines, so the first line was missing a mount point, and the second line, the mount point, was being interpreted as a new bash command, [03:44] malcom2073: nice job on the tab completion [03:44] Even though I swear I made it a single libe [03:44] line* [03:44] it uses b43 insteac of bcm for broadcom chips [03:44] J2RE 1.6 isn't in the repos, correct? [03:45] for some reason every time i enable restricted drivers my computer boots back up in safe mode with 800 x 600 resolution. I was wondering if anyone could help me troubleshoot this problem. [03:45] mneptok: wait I think I found it [03:45] How do I get to be able to write to the usr/share/fonts file? [03:45] i don't know much about wireless [03:45] heartsblood: "Save?" [03:45] heartsblood: wuzzat? [03:45] is there like something i could connect to USB to act like.. a wireles card or something [03:45] RequinB5, What is a TBS? [03:45] roshan, I thought I was the one and only one with an issue like that ; was about to reinstall [03:45] gmw, sudo it [03:45] deahtihs: yes [03:45] which one should i get [03:45] deahtihs: not all are supported [03:46] which one is [03:46] Good day mates [03:46] deahtihs: no idea. i'd use Cardbus [03:46] Nutubuntu: previously, my computer wouldnt even boot up [03:46] mneptok: I meant savage, sorry [03:46] mneptok: but I'm pretty sure I found it [03:46] deahtihs, do you know what exact card do you have? [03:46] roshan: i'd get this error saying no input signal. go to safe mode [03:46] yeah [03:46] whoops* [03:46] heartsblood: http://www.notforidiots.com/SFE/ [03:46] broadcom 54g maxperformance [03:46] roshan, I went through an almost successful upgrade to 7.10 ... and found myself Gnomeless and stuck in 800x600 [03:46] Jangari, ok, I get terminal and sudo, but how do I tell it to do that? [03:46] 802.11 [03:46] hello [03:47] deahtihs, as I said I've had a rather good wireless experience in Hardy [03:47] Nutubuntu: what kind of graphics card do u have? [03:47] roshan, onboard Nvidia - I think a 6150 [03:47] deahtihs, what lspci | grep etworking tell you [03:47] woot I got irc working on my blackberry [03:47] What determines whether something shows up in Add/Remove Programs? [03:47] i dunno how to do that [03:47] o, i have a 8600 gt. really upsetting that these restricted drivers do not work me [03:47] and i installed ubuntu 7.10 using wubi [03:47] 802.11 is rather a wide concept [03:48] Domino now get linux working on it :) [03:48] Why does 'smbclient -L localhost -U%' print different values for domain, server and master compared with 'smbclient -L Amilo7600'? (http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/32673) [03:48] I just uninstalled vmware-server from my computer... and then ran apt-get autoremove... and it fed me this warning: http://hammer89.pastebin.com/m6e0de6e anyone know if I should be concerned/what I should do about it? [03:48] deahtihs, Applications -> Accesories -> Terminal type the following "lspci | grep etworking" no quotes and hit enter [03:49] hello, can somone help me mount an smbfs drive , i mounted it but i can only write to it as root, here is my fstabe line : //10.0.0.2/storeage /media/storeage smbfs,username=yggdrasil,rw,uid=vdr,gid=vdr,user 0 0 [03:49] Hammer89: doesn't look like a problem for me. You don't need init scripts for stuff you're uninstalling. [03:49] !wireless [03:49] server username is yggdrasil the cient user is vdr [03:49] hi, anybody here set up a NAS server? [03:49] RyanPrior: I don't even know what an init script us [03:49] CentHOGG: I had one set up a while ago [03:49] i typed it in.. got a blank line [03:49] nothing [03:49] Hammer89: An init script is something that is run when your computer boots up in order to initialize a service. [03:50] anyone got an xfx 8600 gt with restricted drivers working correctly? [03:50] i'm on ethernet atm btw [03:50] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:50] badkitty: hi [03:50] CentHOGG: Hi [03:50] deahtihs, check out what ubotu just "said" [03:50] ok i looked on google for the stupid code to add to grub but it tells me the disc doesnt exist how do i edit the code to make it work [03:50] RyanPrior: what's the netkit-inetd package for then? is it vmware specific? [03:51] okay i'm there.. i dunno what to click on [03:51] i mean what to look at. i have wpa personal [03:51] windows in on the third partition, its an ntfs partition, what code do i add to grub? [03:51] Hammer89: Not being a VMware user myself, I'm not sure. I suggest reading documentation and using Google to find out. [03:51] where to put flash plugin in opera? [03:51] deahtihs, read it from start to end :) not much else to do [03:52] makes sense [03:52] RyanPrior: http://linux.about.com/cs/linux101/g/netkitinetd.htm still think it's nothing to be concerned about? [03:53] Hammer89: I don't know - it doesn't look VMware specific, though. [03:53] I have a question about BlueZ, if anyone would know. :/ [03:53] deahtihs, as I said in Hardy the broadcom chips "just work" [03:53] RyanPrior: yeah... that's what I was thinking... do you think I should reinstall it? (just to be on the safe side) [03:53] can anyone help, i cant figure out how to add windows to grub all the codes i can find on google are for first partition or slave drive and i cant figure out how to edit it [03:53] isn't hardy alpha [03:53] how do i use custom desktop effects? [03:53] isn't hardy alpha [03:53] Hammer89: perhaps make a Tomboy note of the package that would install it [03:53] oops [03:54] said it twice [03:54] Qharos, !ask [03:54] !hardy | deahtihs [03:54] deahtihs: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [03:54] or is it only 7.10 where you get more than bending of the boxes [03:54] my emerald theme is malfunctioning: whenever I close the terminal, the very top of window part (where you close and minimize and stuff) disappears. a fix would be...? [03:54] Hammer89: or just a text file. Then if things screw up, you can reinstall stuff. [03:54] !ask Qharos [03:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask qharos - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:54] deahtihs, yes, I've been using it since alpha1 without much of a hitch whatsoever [03:54] lol [03:54] I can't figure out how to upgrade to the newest version, for the life of me. [03:54] my alpha 3 has been good [03:54] well i dont have a working cd drive and dont know how to install anything with a usb flash disk thing so i installed with wubi [03:54] zachalink, you could type exit to exit the terminal [03:54] Qharos: Ubuntu doesn't upgrade you to the latest versions of things by default. [03:55] What command would I use in sudo to move a font from my desktop to the usr/share/fonts folder? [03:55] Qharos, edit your /etc/apt/sources.list replacing gutsy with hardy, then apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, repeat then apt-get dist-upgrade... [03:55] nomasteryoda: please don't recommend that [03:55] ok [03:56] Qharos: that's likely to break your install and not what you want [03:56] its my personal preference... [03:56] yes, but after I type emerald --replace, it goes to a blank line and no commands ork [03:56] RyanPrior: done. Thing is... it looks like if anything goes wrong it'll be my network/internet connection... which means I don't have access to support (part of the reason I'm hoping to catch it before it's an issue :) ) [03:56] *work [03:56] it can break installs for sure [03:56] nomasteryoda, Qharos: That's extreme. You probably don't need to upgrade to Hardy just to get the latest BlueZ. [03:56] I could download it off the site, but had troubles installing it. :/ [03:56] when I hit new tab or new terminal window, it does the same thing with the top of the window [03:56] Qharos, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron/Alpha4#head-c05717375385113f65f9cfba992f832f0cdcda4d [03:56] centhog [03:56] Hammer89: Good point. Perhaps to be on the safe side you should download those DEBs and have them sitting around for awhile? [03:56] how can i test if my video card it's supporting 3d? [03:56] why wont anybody freggin help its not that hard of a problem i just need someone who knows their way arround grub [03:56] nomasteryoda: keep in mind you are in #ubuntu, not #ubunut+1. Even then, that is not how you upgrade [03:56] right [03:56] Yggdrasil: hi [03:56] hey [03:56] !helpme > bd (read the private message from ubotu) [03:57] are you talking about making al inux box a nas [03:57] ? [03:57] RyanPrior: definitely [03:57] yeah [03:57] i saw firmware for broadcom bcm43xx which the last time i checked was what i had [03:57] so should i install it [03:57] hi peoples [03:57] Yggdrasil: is there something pretty quick [03:57] centhogg not really [03:57] can somebody help me with my sound problem ? [03:57] so... a good fix to this theme issue would be... [03:57] sorry but no one seems to give a rip, i just need a lil help with grub, do you know how to add windows to grub [03:57] RyanPrior: http://hammer89.pastebin.com/m55ff8be1 it's giving me two package options... do you know which I'd use? [03:57] i think the closest thing is jsut setup samba ser ver [03:57] with a stripped out config [03:58] jrib, actually its not the Ubuntu way, ... its the traditional method from debian... and yes it is what "I" do... disclaimer to all who tread there... it might/will break things [03:58] Yggdrasil: yeah, never had any luck with samba [03:58] Hammer89: No clue. [03:58] no ? [03:58] nfs [03:58] BD, that would greatly vary depending on how your HD is partitioned [03:58] is the glib-2.0 package installed by default with ubuntu? [03:58] how can i test if my computer is supporting 3d? [03:58] haven't tried nfs yet [03:58] nomasteryoda: fine, I'm just asking that you do not recommend it to people here [03:58] centhogg working on samba right now as a mtter of fact [03:58] RyanPrior: alright... I'll download both then [03:58] osito: so upgrade to distro 8.04? [03:58] jrib: ok then can u help me with adding windows to grub, i tried looking on google but none of the codes work [03:58] i have a .conf file that grants guests privelige [03:59] BD, is tricky business IMHO, have you tried to help yourself with man grub ? [03:59] jrib, ok [03:59] np [03:59] Qharos, been there since first alpha, hasn't been bad at all [03:59] how do I get the exact size of a folder in mb/gb from the cli? [03:59] plz, I need help. this theme demonstrates the awesomeness potential of ubuntu gui, and I need it fixed. =( [03:59] osito: i dont know much about grub, i just gotta add windows, ive done it before but i forgot the code to add to boot/grub/menu.lst [03:59] Qharos, YMMV though [04:00] heartsblood: du -sh === Rodolfo is now known as Rodolfo_auei [04:00] my ISP has just made some ubuntu reps can anybody tell me how to make tham my defult? [04:00] Yggdrasil: did you get my message? [04:00] osito: Alright. So should be good and stable? ^^ [04:00] BD, and no one here know your HD partitions but yourself [04:00] LKC: system -> administration -> software sources [04:00] LKC: what ISP? That's really cool. [04:00] oh [04:00] uhm [04:00] no [04:00] holdo n [04:00] jrib, ty [04:00] Telstra in Australia [04:01] osit: windows is on an ntfs partition, its the third partition on the only hd [04:01] you need to ident on this server [04:01] Qharos, what's your hardware? [04:01] hello? [04:01] Yggdrasil: can you dialog me? [04:01] 3D! [04:01] where i can get anti virus or firewall ?? [04:01] Jrib my ISP isnt on the list [04:01] osito: Running a Dell Inspirin e1405. Integrated video, but 1gb RAM and a 2ghz processor, iirc. [04:01] LKC: that's a benefit of open software and architecture. It lets people help without having permission from on high. :-) [04:01] goodbye? [04:02] joing centhogg [04:02] uh joing# centhogg [04:02] LKC: hmm, edit /etc/apt/sources.list directly then [04:02] What determines whether something shows up in Add/Remove Programs? [04:02] Qharos, check out the "Caveats" section on the link I sent and if you don't see anything really scary, go for it, or not :) [04:02] RyanPrior yeah its cool seeing im almost at my limit [04:02] Yggdrasil: brb ok [04:02] !virus | taz [04:02] taz: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [04:02] !firewall | taz [04:02] BD: ill try to help you, please open /boot/grub/menu.lst [04:02] taz: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [04:02] yar [04:02] If I want a network drive to mount on boot, do I need to put a script somewhere, of do I just add it to /etc/fstab? [04:03] i see === peeps_ is now known as peepsalot [04:03] osito: Okay, last question on it (and many thanks!). It's unable to access CD-ROM devices; just during install? [04:03] jrib http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ is where the info is at what do i add [04:03] onexused: You could create an init script, or add it in fstab. It's up to you and your needs. [04:03] onexused: the normal way is just fstab [04:03] Yggdrasil: i got your message, did you get my response? [04:03] negative [04:03] damn [04:03] LKC: “mirror.gamearena.com.au” dropped the connection for me [04:03] join #centhogg [04:03] ok [04:04] Qharos, I don't use it that often, but I've ripped a CD to flac not long ago on hardy [04:04] Okay. So: "192.168.0.1:/Shared /mnt/Shared nfs defaults 0 0" or whatever? [04:04] Alright. I'll give it a whirl. Thanks again. :) [04:04] Qharos, just make sure your 7.10 is fully updated prior to the upgrade [04:05] Yeah, everything's updated and I've added a few apps here and there. [04:05] Qharos, not a problem and see you in #ubuntu+1 :) [04:05] what is the basic syntax for moving a file using sudo? All I get is "cannot stat..." [04:05] http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu/ jrib maybe that will work for you? [04:05] Woot! :D [04:05] astro76: Okay. So: "192.168.0.1:/Shared /mnt/Shared nfs defaults 0 0" or whatever? [04:05] gmw: what are you trying to move? [04:05] A file from my desktop to usr/shares/fonts [04:05] LKC: nope, but any way open /etc/apt/sources.list and it should be fairly obvious to you what you need to do. Pastebin your results and I will check [04:05] how can I enable the remote desktop for the login screen? It seems it is currently only working after a user has logged on to the console. [04:06] gmw: why? [04:06] BD, got the GRUB thing sorted? [04:06] What determines whether something shows up in Add/Remove Programs? [04:06] I'd like to add another font. [04:06] !fonts > gmw (read the private message from ubotu) [04:06] Thanks. [04:06] RyanPrior astro76: thanks for the help. [04:06] can some one help me connect to my windows network?

[04:06] !pm | jrib [04:06] jrib: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [04:07] Why does Ubuntu start lagging -a lot- when it's reading from the disk, and is that fixable? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [04:07] gmw: easiest way is to just drop it in ~/.fonts for your user [04:07] RyanPrior: so ubotu does not spam the channel [04:07] test [04:07] oh my name [04:07] !fonts [04:07] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash?

[04:09] yummy [04:09] I love the sounds when netsplits happen [04:09] me install broadcom firmware and me dont see wireless me only see wired connection [04:09] Does anyone know why does Ubuntu start lagging while reading from the disk? [04:09] i like a good netsplit [04:09] is enabling remote desktop available for Gutsy from the login screen (when no other user has a console session started) ? [04:10] i dont know much about irc [04:10] * osxdude|linux checks out the other side of the netsplit on his mac [04:10] could somebody please help me with my sound not working ? [04:10] lol there is like nobody [04:10] hit it, soulfly_420 [04:10] * Scunizi disconnects xchat to check out irssi for connectivity [04:10] I'mma rephrase what I said. I installed the Broadcom Firmware, restarted, and now I don't see 'Wireless Connection' on the list, I just see 'Wired connection'. [04:10] There you go [04:10] I like a banana split. [04:10] only kidding, you probably shouldn't [04:10] jrib, you made my life easier tonight. Thanks. [04:11] hit what ? [04:11] hi, is there any reliable and direct way to burn a .dmg file in ubuntu? I have three .dmg files for installing Mac OSX Panther on some imac g3s I have and other than those I have no apple computers that could be used to burn discs [04:11] shenron: i would think burning them as data could be read by a mac [04:12] ya but they wont be boot discs then [04:12] I'mma rephrase what I said. I installed the Broadcom Firmware, restarted, and now I don't see 'Wireless Connection' on the list, I just see 'Wired connection'. [04:12] Scunizi: i'm on i386, cd is fine, don't need to remove 'quiet splash --' but xorg/kdm doesn't start. tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and set it up, driver:nv (is that right?) and i can't find 1440x900@60 only @100 wtf (if i select 'medium') [04:12] shenron: true.. not sure what to do to make them bootable. [04:12] what's the command to go to a directory in the terminal?

(you probably ought to ask in that particular language's channel) [04:14] http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#Remote_Access states for Edgy: "Remote Desktop will only work if there's a GNOME login session" [04:14] Sakkath_: this channel has typically 1200 users.. #kubuntu much less.. [04:14] Flannel: oo dang sorry i thought I was in the python room [04:14] sox, shenron [04:14] does the same hold true for Gutsy? [04:15] hobbzilla: You can connect remotely to any X client. Not just gnome. [04:15] soulfly_420: do you have an NVIDIA mobo? [04:15] !sox [04:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about sox - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:15] Scunizi: it says 'no screens found' -- how do i set refresh rate in xorg.conf by the way [04:15] Sakkath_: looks like #kubuntu is pretty active tonight.. do a /join #kubuntu [04:15] Scunizi: ok [04:15] How can I start a new X session? [04:16] ctl-alt-f1? [04:16] shenron: what are you doing with .cdr? [04:16] Scunizi: ImPS/2 is default? it's a usb wireless mouse. [04:16] I want to make a boot disc Jangari [04:16] oh, okay, sox won't help then [04:16] sherl0k: When I'm running compiz and do that, and switch back to the one I was on, system hangs [04:17] but it'll very easily convert any bunch of audio files to cdr, [04:17] does it work with compiz disabled? [04:17] Sakkath_: not sure what ImPS/2 is.. or why it's default === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [04:17] Flannel: okay, but can I connect when a user doesn't have an active console session? [04:17] Scunizi: vs ExplorerPS/2--i chose /dev/input/mice [04:17] sherl0k: Let me try, I'm guessing it should, one sec [04:17] Flannel: I would like to be able to use VNC to connect when there is no one logged in and begin at the login window. [04:17] remember, compiz is still somewhat in beta [04:18] Sakkath_: sorry I"m lost on this one. [04:18] hobbzilla: What? No. Users can login simultaneouslt with no problem. VNC is different than X forwarding, I have no idea how it works. [04:18] Scunizi: 'no devices detected' - 'no screen found' [04:18] screens* [04:18] hobbzilla, you can do it with x11vnc, I've done it before [04:18] how come when i downloaded openoffice off the oo website, int he word processor, i dont have the minimze, maximze, and exit buttons at the top, it kinda goes full screen but i checked and its not set on that, why is that bar gone?

[04:20] hold on, kenan, can you alt+click-drag and move the window down? maybe it's opening too high on the screen, i had that problem with heaps of apps [04:20] hobbzilla: I have no idea [04:20] well [04:20] arthus: what about the instructions I gave ypu? [04:20] you could just switch users :) [04:20] Flannel: I have tried to get XDMCP setup, but it won't ever give me a login. It just sits there with the Gray screen. [04:21] sherl0k: It works without compiz [04:21] Ziroday: I ran uninstall with purge [04:21] ahh [04:21] sherl0k: Compiz, nope [04:21] and then reinstalled [04:21] is gnome-look.org down? [04:21] arthus: remove apache2.2-common completely. ("compete removal" in synaptic or via apt-get with --purge) [04:21] still no config files [04:21] Flannel: already did [04:21] < Jangari> oh, okay, sox won't help then [04:21] hobbzilla, x11vnc lets you access the PC from the login screen [04:21] arthus: you need to do the apache2.2-common package, not just apache2 [04:21] < Jangari> oh, okay, sox won't help then [04:21] < Jangari> oh, okay, sox won't help then [04:21] < Jangari> oh, okay, sox won't help then [04:21] shenron: stop [04:21] < Jangari> oh, okay, sox won't help then ---- what is sox? [04:21] okay, something is SERIOUSLY wrong with emerald themes: whenever I close terminal, no matter what, the top bar of windows goes away. how can I stop this from happening (other than closing the terminal)?? [04:21] i cant put my asus sata drivers on a floppy in ubuntu what do i do? [04:22] hobbzilla: Are you on the same subnet as the other box? [04:22] oh [04:22] I'm sorry [04:22] even in wine it wont work [04:22] irssi was being weird :p [04:22] help please [04:22] Jangari: i cant alt+click+drag and i cant resize it either, it even overlaps my top panel on the desktop [04:22] !ask | BodOmLaW [04:22] BodOmLaW: 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. :-) [04:22] hmm what happened... [04:22] netsplit [04:23] so... is there a fix for this? [04:23] Flannel: THANKS! it worked :) [04:23] kenan, if you right hold alt and click anywhere in the window, you should be able to drag it around [04:23] How many characters in a filename can EXT3 and FAT32 (on my USB-memory) handle? I have a filename with 105 characters. No complain from EXT3, but where's the limit? And what about FAT32? [04:23] shenron: sox is the swiss-army knife of audio manipulation [04:23] Jangari: i honestly cant do that [04:23] Zambezi: I think 255 or 256 [04:23] Zambezi, 256 [04:23] sound exchange [04:23] i cant put my asus sata drivers on a floppy in ubuntu. I tried with wine, cause it gives me an .exe. it says the drive deos not support image. What do I do? [04:24] Jangari: i also have wobbly windows on and i cant bend the window or anything [04:24] kenan, what if you right click the tab in your lower panel? [04:24] do you get the move option? [04:24] Sakkath: have you done any updates since reinstalling? [04:24] kenan, click the window you want to move. hold alt, hit space [04:24] i'm having a horrible time trying to get this monitor (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824222011) configured. choosing the generic lcd panel 1280x1024 option isn't working. is this going to require editing xorg.conf by hand? if so, could someone help walk me through it? [04:24] sherl0k: does x11vnc allow multiple interactive logins? i.e.if someone is already logged in at the Ubuntu box and I connect via x11vnc am I going to get an entirely new session? Or am I going to share KBM with the console user? [04:24] BodOmLaW: running drivers through wine does not work, the hard drive however should work out of the box, how is it formatted? [04:24] Flannel: yes same subnet [04:25] so is a fix just to not close the terminal? [04:25] Scunizi: dude, this is the install cd. kdm/xorg never starts. [04:25] hobbzilla, no. what you're thinking of is an RDP session like Windows' Remote Desktop [04:25] Scunizi: i never had ubuntu installed on this computer. [04:25] ok, now back to what I was trying to do in the first place [04:25] hobbzilla it is possible to connect either way [04:25] how can I change documentroot in apache? [04:25] Jangari: well i only have one panel which is at the top and that shows my open applications but the word processor overlaps it and i also have awn and i set it on auto hide but i cant bring it up when im in oo word processor [04:25] Starnestommy: sherl0k Thanks to both of you. No worries then. [04:25] ive tried unallocated nfts, just the sata drive but window still says the partition is not compatible with windows [04:25] Zambezi: filename is 255 chars, but path total has no real limit. With FAT32, its either 8.3 or 255, if you have unicode with LFN. [04:25] I tried doing it, but gave me a 403 error [04:26] sherl0k: yes similarly. But I think freenx or xdmcp is it's alternative for linux, no? [04:26] BodOmLaW: windows cannot read linux partitions without special drivers [04:26] just apt-cache search for rdp [04:26] hobbzilla: You just need to make sure your UDP packets are getting through. I had that grey screen issue before, and its because my UDP was being blocked. You can tunnel it through ssh, and it'll work without the UDP issues. [04:26] there's probably a daemon for it [04:26] th0r: I understand it is possible to connect either way, but can you do it simultaneously. [04:26] it isnt a linux partition, it is another drive [04:27] with no partition [04:27] sherl0k: that doesnt work i cant even minimze it [04:27] ubuntu is on the other sata drive [04:27] arthus: Those are set in the sites-available/ folder's contents. Since its a virtualhost specific configuration [04:27] i don't know, kenan, can you do anything with the oo word window at all? [04:27] ziroday can i pm? [04:27] oh, it's oo. well it's a bloated java app, that would explain it :) [04:27] Flannel: that's where I changed it, but gave me a 403 error [04:27] Flannel. the only thing that was weird when I enabled the xdmcp server is that netstat reports it "udp6 0 0 *:xdmcp *:*" [04:27] arthus, chmod the folder to 777 [04:28] :O [04:28] arthus: where did you change the folder to? [04:28] sherl0k: the weird thing is that its only on oo word, everything works fine when i open oo presentation and spreadsheet [04:28] sheri0k: I did that already [04:28] Flannel: but then so does ssh and I can ssh just fine. [04:28] Flannel: /media/DOVE/public [04:28] sherl0k: How would I start a app in a new X session? [04:28] arthus: you just need to make sure www-data has read permissions to that folder [04:28] how would i know if my UDP packets are getting through? [04:28] Flannel: Maybe I'm going to format my USB-memory to EXT3 later. I have long filenames, but not as long as hundred and no complain so I think it's activated by default. [04:28] not sure tigran, i haven't worked with multiple sessions much [04:29] sherl0k: Ok [04:29] Anyone else...ow would I start a app in a new X session? [04:29] is oo java? of course, it's sun! [04:29] that bites [04:29] hobbzilla: You don't [04:29] hobbzilla: There is no guarantee with UDP [04:30] hobbzilla: The best you could do is monitor outbound and endbound traffic with wireshark -- but the internet can drop UDP packets anywhere [04:30] hehe i got shockwave working in the linux firefox :D [04:30] arthus: sudo -u www-data ls /media/DOVE/public [04:31] Cpudan80: This is through my local home LAN with both machines on the same switch.. [04:31] arthus: Does that work? [04:31] 1 sec, gotta ssh in [04:31] i just installed Ubuntu 7.10 PPC Alt. on a iMac G3, but when i rebooted after installation it said: check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev ALERT! /dev/hda3 does not exist. Dropping to shell! [04:31] hobbzilla: Still doesnt mean they are guaranteed to transmit --- though the probably of transmission is probably close to 100% [04:31] so XDMCP operates over UDP? [04:32] Cookies plz [04:32] hobbzilla: Look at an output from wireshark [04:32] Flannel: "ls: /media/DOVE/public: Permission denied" [04:32] but you can't guarantee UDP packets will get through.. [04:32] why even use UDP for XDMCP then? [04:32] XDMCP ? [04:32] I dont know what that is [04:32] Flannel: and a 403 error [04:32] arthus: exactly. Its unreadably by www-data [04:32] XDMCP allows me to run an x server on my windows machine [04:33] arthus: Once that command works, you'll no longer get the 403 [04:33] The main advantage UDP has over TCP is that UDP has lower startup costs [04:33] far out man, ssh'ing a 50MB file over a flakey wireless connection is really slow, and is fully consuming all my upload [04:33] hobbzilla: Are you sure its using UDP? [04:33] hobbzilla: Yes, XDMCP is over UDP. [04:33] Strange [04:33] and perform x forwarding and interactive /remote admin [04:33] netstat -l : udp6 0 0 *:xdmcp *:* [04:33] hello there [04:33] Well but you have to SSH to the machine first right? [04:33] hobbzilla: You may try X forwarding over ssh. Its pretty simple, and there are some pre-fab tools out there (xming) [04:33] what would i use to mess with my iphone [04:33] Cpudan80: no. Its just over UDP [04:34] how can I get ArdourGTK to install under Gutsy? [04:34] Flannel: Then I would ditch it [04:34] hi anyone ever tried using airtel gprs wit ubuntu??? [04:34] You probably want a TCP socket for this [04:34] can anyone recommend a good dock that can snap to the screen side? unfortunately avant doesn't do this :( [04:34] Cpudan80: Its over a home network, presumably safe. [04:34] a hammer, foibles [04:34] Jangari, hah [04:34] Flannel: I did chmod 777 /media/DOVE/public [04:34] agreed [04:34] Jangari, its my sisters, not mine [04:34] Flannel: OK, but I dont the XDMCP people are too smart for programming the thing to use UDP only [04:34] Cpudan80: XDMCP has been around forever (well, not forever, but still), its not going away. Then again, ssh tunneling has been out there forever too. [04:34] FLannel: still 403 error and no change [04:35] Flannel, isn't x tunneled thru ssh overkill? === Rodolfo_auei is now known as Rodolfo [04:35] did anyone see my post? [04:35] hobbzilla: no? [04:35] hobbzilla: Its how most people do it [04:35] Yochanan: please send your quey again [04:35] cpudan80: didn't you just say you didn't know what xdmcp was? [04:35] i just installed Ubuntu 7.10 PPC Alt. on a iMac G3, but when i rebooted after installation it said: check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev ALERT! /dev/hda3 does not exist. Dropping to shell! [04:35] :) [04:35] Sup [04:35] hobbzilla: Yes [04:35] Its Pc Gamma Yo [04:35] hobbzilla: Not really. You're guaranteed a connection (TCP), and you can also connect from outside your LAN too. Over a LAN, the overhead regarding the encryption won't be really noticable [04:35] hobbzilla: I meant that X via SSH was how most people did it [04:36] I tried to use dmesg after i got booted into low-graphics mode.

[04:39] <[mando]> i am running metacity under dapper, what would be the best way to change settings, if there are any?

(well, one of many reasons) [04:39] Flannel: I did chmod 777 public, still no change [04:39] billsey_: Download the source and makefile [04:39] bgt421, its binaries will go in one place, its documentation in another, is configuration in another etc. etc. etc. [04:40] Yochanan: Is the installation went fine. It was occupied the whole 10GB ? [04:40] Flannel: from xming site: "It is totally secure when used with SSH" [04:40] Jangari, yeah thats what im going for at the moment [04:40] billsey_: I think it is in ine if the repos too.. did you try a google search? [04:40] badkitty: I am one of those rare bird Linux users that knows nothing about programming. :-) [04:40] which would reason that it doesn't require it to be.. which more than likely means it is not the default.. [04:40] Nahalingam, yes [04:40] PriceChild: Thanks, how would I find the configuration file for a particular package? Specifically OpenVPN, if you might be familiar with it [04:41] but maybe steve jobs has put some preventative measures in, i don't know, i just know that my brothers itouch isn't even recognised by my machine whatsoever.

[04:54] aye, but i'd prefer a firefox plugin for pdfs, and i know i can use mozplugger with evince but its ugly as heck :P [04:54] badkitty, I looked through the thread, tried the code that it lists, but it can't find the repos that should be there. ArdourGTK remains ghosted in my add/remove. :-( [04:54] anyone know if it's possible in compiz-config to how workspaces show the their number when switching between them? [04:55] sorry, to SHOW [04:55] diabolix: yes, it's set for installing recommends. see /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01ubuntu [04:55] I need help I think i just majorlly screwed up my GURB I get Error 15!!

ArdourGTK remains ghosted in my add/remove. :-( [04:55] joot. oh weird. how do I access that? [04:55] billsey_: You have to add the repo yourself [04:56] !grub | billsey_ [04:56] billsey_: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:56] nickrud, but i just installed xchat, and it recomended libnotify-bin, but did not install it. [04:56] jscinoz: you still using mozplugger? I haven't messed with that since I can't remember when :) [04:56] i dunno if anyone has heard of it, but what's the abbreviation for wireless electricity? i know of "WiTricity", but im referring to the even more shorter term [04:56] i want to force epiphany to open files in new tab, not window [04:56] diabolix: do you have that 01ubuntu file? [04:56] yes [04:56] it must be posible by about:config , no? [04:56] nickrud you have another way of getting a pdf plugin into firefox? [04:56] nickrud, yes [04:57] Gibb, you may have to dl it if it is not already on your system [04:57] nickrud, does that only apply to official packages tho? [04:57] joot, it doesnt come with xubuntu? [04:57] Ubuntu doesn't start on login, I tried reconfiguring X, no sucess.Could anyone help me? [04:57] does anyone know of a good trip planning software? something comparable to M$ streets and trips [04:58] Google maps? [04:58] * Cpudan80 ducks [04:58] diabolix: probably, the file only talks about main, universe, mulitiverse and restricted [04:58] does Epiphaniy has any IRC channel? [04:58] Gibb, not sure I am running ubuntu with a gnome desktop [04:58] JLappy: hmmm did you try searching on sourceforge? [04:58] jscinoz: no, I am just glad I don't need it anymore. I don't mind separate windows for pdfs [04:58] badkitty: I just looked in Synaptic, and the repos are added there. What else need I do? [04:59] yes, i'm looking at several but just asking for opinions of preferred apps here [04:59] is LSD dangerous when mixed with antibiotics? [04:59] anabelle, try #lsd [04:59] they might know more :) [04:59] diabolix: but on first blush I'd expect it to work for any file from a repo [04:59] billsey_: Well did you check the packages and and perform the installation? [04:59] !o4o | anabelle [04:59] anabelle: Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu. Controversial topics, which always turn into flamewars: war, race, religion, politics (unless related to software licencing), gender, sexuality, drugs, questionable legal activities, removing of oneself from the planet (except by space or time travel) are not for here, perhaps #off-topic or ##politics. Microsoft software in ##windows (Please note Freenode Policy) - Thanks. [05:00] nickrud, so, when installing build-essential, it suggests manpages-dev, but it won't install it. [05:00] badkitty: It said something about a broken pipe. It failed to create a directory or something un ./etc [05:00] mozplugger is nice, lets me run the windows version of shockwave in linux firefox :D [05:00] under [05:00] Gibb, just run apt-get install samba it will not install twice [05:00] how does one download more visualisation files for rhythmbox/movie player? [05:00] joot, I found it on the add/remove thing [05:00] Could someone help me troublehsoot with an seemly xserver problem. I'm a new ubuntu user, so try to bare with me. I look over at ubuntu forums, reconfiguring X does no good. I could post logs upon requests. [05:00] Gibb, cool [05:01] billsey_: Did you use the script method or go throughsynaptic? [05:01] diabolix: suggests is not the same as recommends , but you can configure apt to install suggests as well. See /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/configure-index.gz [05:01] BELKIZED - what seems to be the problem? Typing that usually helps more :P [05:01] badkitty: I think it was GDebi [05:01] hello, why can i add a root of a drive as a smb share, but not a path within a drive? [05:01] jscinoz: really? do you have a link to a howto? [05:01] yes one sec [05:01] Gibb, windows sometimes take forever to show the network files you have to be really patient :-))) [05:02] <[mando]> how do i switch to xcompmgr from metacity? [05:02] RequinB5: Well, upon GDM login, ubuntu just has the cursor loading wheel, and nothing loads, after that it displays that X is corrupted. I don't quite remeber. I tried reconfiguring x, but no sucess. It might've been due to something I did with the fonts. I changed them to bitmap [05:02] nickrud argh cant find it, ill pm you isntructions, its like only a 5 step process [05:02] billsey_: Hmm I think best way might to be install it from source... [05:03] jscinoz: takes wine I figure. Sounds promising [05:03] BELKINZED : error before or after login prompt [05:03] RequinB5: before [05:04] badkitty: I just tried Synaptic, and I think it might actually work. It's not ghosted there, but only in Add/Remove. I'll check back later to let you know. [05:04] BELKINZED: Then you're right, its most likely x. Can you type what the exact error msg is? [05:04] billsey_: ok [05:05] billsey_: I noticed the repo for the link was actually a feisty repo so that could be an issue...Perhaps there was another one I didn't see though === ParsiTux is now known as Mortezajs [05:05] RequinB5: I can't quite acess it now, but i do have acess to the drive and i can post logs and whatnot [05:05] I configured Mythbuntu and it asked me to log out. Once I did that, gdm just hung. Restarts don't seem to cure it, either. What am I missing here? [05:05] what the minimum for the root partition on an ubuntu install (with a separate /home)? [05:06] BELKINZED : ok, you said you tried 'sudo dkpg-reconfigure xserver-org' [05:06] badkitty: Well, right now, Synaptic is starting to download the packages. It'll be a while since I'm on dial-up. [05:06] Flannel: will I be able to fix this? [05:06] BELKINZED : If so, try it one more time and use the VESA drivers. see if you can't get some kind of GUI [05:06] billsey_: Wow, that sucks [05:07] badkitty: LOL I've survived so far. :-D [05:07] arthus: Its definately fixable (well, its not broken, so you don't really need to fix anything per sey), I just don't know whats going on. [05:08] Flannel: hmmm.... I have been running your commands exactly as you wrote them [05:08] mmm....wireless works now [05:08] Flannel: any other info which would help you figure it out? [05:09] fritsy4: about 10-15 gb is plenty [05:09] fritsy4: you can get by with about 6-7 though [05:09] nickrud, i have 7 [05:09] fritsy4: I was thinking minimum was ~ 3 ... [05:10] fritsy4: But its always better to provide more space, you can always resize right? [05:10] Hi, anyone know where to find details about serial devices ? [05:10] fritsy4, i would like Gnome [05:10] fritsy4: 7 will do fine, leaves you plenty of room. If you are using lots of databases and stuff that might show up in /var , you can consider moving them to /nome [05:10] */home [05:10] anyone have trouble getting into ubuntu-art or gnome-look? [05:10] nickrud, no database just a small HDD [05:10] When my mobile connects to PC it gives multiple choices .. and my computer select the #1 choice .. [05:10] I want to change this mode .. [05:10] DG19075: I had trouble going to gnomelook yes [05:10] Is there a way to pipe an audio input(mic or w/e) to your speakers without tying up the device(ie, through ALSA) [05:11] any hints of who maintains this driver ? [05:11] both of those were down [05:12] http://img513.imageshack.us/my.php?image=capture2bc0.png [05:12] hello, why can i add a root of a drive as a smb share, but not a path within a drive? [05:12] my desktop ^^ [05:12] hi [05:13] hello abdoreza [05:13] at least this tell me I wasn't the only one trying to get to those sites [05:13] cmon, I can't boot gnome and no one can help? [05:13] and having trouble [05:14] it can't be that difficult [05:14] huy [05:14] * nickrud runs from mythubuntu [05:14] !patience | ryansmith [05:14] ryansmith: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [05:14] what is the problem [05:14] I installed mythbuntu and ran the configuration [05:15] it prompted me to log out [05:15] when it did, the login manager wouldn't even boot [05:15] I have parsix [05:15] X was still running though [05:15] RequinB5: I use ATI drivers. but okay, any other diagnostic steps/troublehsooting steps? [05:15] one more question - on my desktop i have gutsy with the root partition taking almost 20GB, i do have a lot of stuff but is there a way to trim it down? [05:15] it is official, Ubuntu multi monitor support is weak. [05:16] BELKINZED: Need any logs pasted? Xorg logs? [05:16] i'm saying this as a fan [05:16] fritsy4: It is possible to resize disk partitions using gparted [05:16] what does it mean when the desktop background and items placed on the Desktop are blacked out [05:16] KaiForce: Why is that? [05:16] BELKINZED: VESA is *almost* guarenteed to give you stuff. If it is a driver problem, then at least you'll be able to boot and hopefully get the restricted drivers [05:16] KaiForce: I think it is actually very decent [05:16] I have parsix [05:17] ver 1 [05:17] badkitty: I had a heck of a time getting a multiple monitor setup with my Vaio laptop... [05:17] RequinB5: I doubt it though, it's not a driver problem. I think it's something I modified in font.conf absent midnly [05:17] RequinB5: Drivers for ubuntu work flawlessly 'out-of-the-box' [05:17] RequinB5: for my Vcard [05:17] KaiForce: Hmm... setting my twinview was a breeze, compiz and everything just went easy for me.. [05:17] i ended up creating two xorg.confs and scripting so I could switch between the external monitor and the laptop [05:17] badkitty: you had the right hardware for twinview [05:18] badkitty, thats not what i mean, i mean my / i using 20GB i want to delete some unnecessary files , i already went apt-get autoclean but that didnt do much [05:18] fritsy4: do a real clean [05:18] fritsy4: (apt-get clean) [05:18] Flannel, what the difference between apt-get autoclean and apt-get clean? [05:18] KaiForce: True === GodTodd_ is now known as GodTodd [05:19] KaiForce: I could see how using a laptop with twinview could be a little trickier [05:19] hello [05:19] fritsy4: autoclean only gets rid of old stuff, clean gets rid of everything. [05:19] someone how do i disable from loading X automatically ? [05:19] any joomla users in here? [05:19] from boot ? [05:19] BELKINZED: I don't know as much about the fonts, so if you're sure its because of that, I don't know what to say. if its a problem with X, reconfiguring x should fix it unless you reconfigured it incorrectly [05:20] I've used joomla [05:20] Flannel, "everything" in this case means unnecessary files ,right? [05:20] RequinB5: I've reconfigured x countless times, and it has never failed me. I stick with the set defaults(without framebuffer) [05:20] Also might help to ask when it isn't 12:20 AM on the east coast [05:20] josiah: PM me though cause its off-topic [05:20] :P [05:21] fritsy4: all the deb files in your cache, yes. === josiah is now known as josiahw [05:21] hello, i just did a debootstrap to my cfcard, im tring to do a chroot /media/cfcard however i keep getting "command cannot run '/bin/bash'" [05:22] ive tried edgy and gusty and not having any luck [05:22] how do i mount NTFS drives?

[05:51] won't matter, because unless you are using SSL that first hop over unencrypted wireless is wide open [05:51] how to convert pdf files to open office format? please veryone....i need urgent on this issue [05:51] KaiForce: I am going wired [05:51] it will help keep people off your laptop however [05:51] what's the command to go from gutsy to hardy? [05:51] you copy the text out of it rampeltilsken, then you paste it into openoffice [05:51] rampeltilsken: I already told you! === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [05:51] KaiForce: I'll be paying $159 for one of those satellites today.. [05:52] [mando]: also xcompmgr has always been buggy in the session manager you might try a higher order setting, I think if it runs at the wrong time it messes up the panels if I remember right [05:52] ok....thanks [05:52] KaiForce: They win lol [05:52] hehe ok [05:52] Berto: why do you want to [05:52] !hardy [05:52] Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [05:52] rampeltilsken: a pdf is for all intents and purposes an image, [05:52] bernier: sudo apt-get install dist-upgrade .. i think [05:53] Man Im rusty [05:53] KaiForce: But I know nothing about what they have as far as the router they use and firewalling from the router back. It is Iraq after all... [05:53] err bernier [05:53] is AMD64 vs. i386 architecture designed specifically for amd processors? [05:53] right, choices are limited [05:53] I tried using the setup dialog for Mythbuntu and now Gnome's login manager won't boot. Does anyone know what's going on? [05:53] E_Data: no ... amd64 is fine on intel 64-bit procs [05:54] E_Data almost all 64bit processors you will use are amd64. intel kind of abandoned ia64 and switched to the amd spec for it [05:54] KaiForce: http://rafb.net/p/Tnpyic44.html is this a stupid idea or am I understanding this wrong? [05:54] so anything 32 bit is i386? [05:54] Hi guys, if I installed "sudo apt-get install compiz", have I installed Compiz-fusion or just regular Compiz if there is any difference between the two? [05:54] ryansmith: try asking in #ubuntu-mythtv [05:54] E_Data well, anything PC that isn't a mac, yes [05:55] okie [05:55] E_Data: yes, but you can run i386 on a 64-bit proc as well (but not the other way around) [05:55] ok [05:55] Any new ubuntu users, may want to check this site. It's a reference of linux equivalents of windows software: http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html [05:56] can someone please pastebin their /etc/profile for me [05:56] iambernie: Compiz is the 3D display system itself, and it comes with a set of basic plugins. Fusion is a more feature-rich set of plugins for compiz that most people use, hence Compiz Fusion [05:56] This stuff gets confusing... [05:56] a new one [05:57] anybody knows default username n pass for tomcat admin? [05:57] can someone with a 7.10 please pastebin their /etc/profile? [05:57] Nephyrin: Thanks [05:58] http://rafb.net/p/bezf5v38.html whoever wanted a copy of /etc/profile [05:58] 3 whole months until 8.04!! [05:58] david_J: thanks [05:58] david_J sorry my keyboard and mouse are going insane. i'm looking now [05:58] gmcastil, hang on I will go have a look for you..... [05:58] joot: i got it, thanks anyway [05:58] Mr-LonelY: You can assign this role to a username/password combination of your choice in the /conf/tomcat-users.xml file. [05:58] KaiForce: cool... I prolly wont need the bridge... [05:58] iambernie: Also, you'll probably want to install 'emerald' which is a window-decorator (draws borders on windows) that is used with compiz fusion, as opposed to the more basic gtk-window-decorator that comes with compiz by default [05:58] gmcastil, no prob :-) [05:59] so it looks like i need to re install mu ubuntu cause I screwd with it to much [05:59] bridge looks useless [05:59] PKdoR: that's doubtful [05:59] joot: i'm not sure that i like how ubuntu deals with user settings [05:59] I thought so.... But I could use 2 nics and ip forwarding to the router... And try to set up a good firewall right? [06:00] gmcastil, why not??? [06:00] yep [06:00] if I reintall without reformating the home partition will my settings be safed for compiz-fusion, fiirefox, thunderbird? [06:00] PKdoR: yes [06:00] or a nat/firewall combo [06:00] joot: lots of little things... [06:00] KaiForce: would it really make a difference? [06:00] anybody using Cheese, webcam / video software? [06:00] PKdoR: major reason for putting /home on another partitoin [06:01] gmcastil, you can change them in the gui if you need to [06:01] well if you are assigned only 1 ip address from the provider yes [06:01] joot: i hate guis [06:01] In runnung it in fake raid 0 to dual boot with windows and now it gives me an error 15 with grub and the live cd tells me that the mount point does not exis when i try o fix it [06:01] hey guys, i've got a core2duo cpu, /proc/cpuinfo shows both cores support hypertherading, after adding ht=on to the kernel command line in /boot/grub/menu.lst, i still only have the two physical cores rather than 4 logical cores, any idea how i can enable hyperthreadign? [06:01] KaiForce: That aint goin to happen DHCP and they won't give me static [06:02] gmcastil, you can change them in the terminal too :-D [06:02] hey guys [06:02] PKdoR: its a grub problem [06:02] KaiForce: the act like they don't speak English [06:02] Nephyrin: Is Emerald some kind of plugin for Compiz? [06:02] ani ideas? i much rather just fix it hen reinstall [06:02] then you should set up a nat'ing firewall [06:03] have the external interface take their ip and internally have it hand out rfc1918 addresses [06:03] to the laptop [06:03] as my installation wasalready just like i wanted it exept for a grub them and tthats when it all went wrong [06:03] PKdoR: boot up the ubuntu live cd that you installed with and on the selection screen choose repair [06:03] KaiForce: I'll google it... I really don't what the heck you are talking about.. But it is going to happen.. [06:03] PKdoR: go through the questions and choose to reinstall grub [06:04] PKdoR: now here is the tricky part before you do this you need to know where your boot is installed [06:04] ok good luck [06:04] iambernie: Its a separate program - compiz only enables 3D rendering, so you need something to draw borders on windows and handle window positioning and title bars and stuff. Compiz comes with the gtk-window-decorator program which does this, but emerald is a more feature rich replacement for that program used with compiz-fusion [06:04] i've lost shift, caps lock etc on this freakin keyboard [06:04] wtf [06:05] travisat even if im running in raid 0? its in /dev/mapper/nvidia_fafjibci3 [06:06] i gues i'll give it a go thanks [06:06] strange problem - trying to get wireless working -- 'iwlist scan' picks up my network, but I can't get dhcp to get me an address. Am using the broadcom + bcm43xx. Any ideas? thanks. [06:06] ugh why would shift stop working [06:06] PKdoR: yes in order to boot a kernel it needs to know where the kernel is. you can actually edit the options in the grub menu. I have had this happen when I moved my hard drives around in my case hda went to hdb so grub would not boot my linux partition because my /boot went from (hd0,1) to (hd1,1) [06:06] KaiForce: the IP forwarding stuff I just type in and never really understand [06:07] KaiForce: I'll try harder this time [06:07] travisat thank you much [06:07] are you going to run your firewall on a pc with 2 network cards/ [06:07] KaiForce: yeah [06:08] if so, look at one of the distros that accomplish that... the only one that comes to mind right now is leaf bering uclibc, but loook around because there are easier ones..... [06:08] monowall maybe [06:08] Nephyrin: Ok thanks, I think first need to have to look more into it. I'm a bit confused about the differences between Compiz, Compizfusion.. [06:08] KaiForce: can't all distros do it? [06:08] yes [06:09] i cannot, for the life of me, get my graphics set up properly. i have an ati radeon x800 and i know the specs for my monitor but i keep falling into failsafe mode when i restart x. any help? [06:09] hey guys, i've got a core2duo cpu, /proc/cpuinfo shows both cores support hypertherading, after adding ht=on to the kernel command line in /boot/grub/menu.lst, i still only have the two physical cores rather than 4 logical cores, any idea how i can enable hyperthreadign? [06:09] if you go with a non-dedicated firewall, i urge you to look at shorewall [06:09] what terminal command to pull up Login Screen Setup [06:09] shorewall has examples on shorewall.net that should make this easy [06:10] tritium: im confused [06:10] root@rodrigo-fera:/home/rodrigo# wget ftp://ftp.eggheads.org/pub/eggdrop/source/1.6.17.tar.gz [06:10] --03:05:59-- ftp://ftp.eggheads.org/pub/eggdrop/source/1.6.17.tar.gz [06:10] => `1.6.17.tar.gz' [06:10] Resolvendo ftp.eggheads.org... 207.28.220.6 [06:10] Conectando a ftp.eggheads.org|207.28.220.6|:21... conectado.

What options should I use with mencoder to fix this? I tried -audio-delay 10 but it didn't do anything [06:10] KaiForce: I have a copy of ubuntu... I'll just won't install a graphical interface.. Doubt it'll need a download of another distro.. [06:10] david_J: your /etc/profile was broken [06:10] right [06:10] ='/ [06:10] badkitty: thanks [06:10] i need help tritium [06:10] gmcastil: I dont care [06:10] templario: with what?

The program won't start and I get a glade error if I try to start it in terminal [06:12] Well I need to do some PT.. Thanks for the help KaiForce [06:12] Take care, david_J. [06:12] I have 15 months to make it work... [06:12] thanks [06:12] gmcastle: you can search the ubuntu distro for files and packages that come by default: see: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [06:12] david j take care, sorry i can't do underscores because of my kb [06:13] lol [06:13] keep me posted [06:13] ushimitsudoki: i just need to replace the text [06:13] I'll be back when I have some freetime... [06:13] gmcastil: what did you do to yours? [06:13] What is the terminal command to change folder permissions? [06:13] tritium: long story....i rewrote a new one and when I logged back in, gtk+ crashed [06:13] I need to change all the permissions of /home/user/public_html to 777 [06:13] zylstra555: chmod folder 777 [06:14] =] [06:14] (Only temporary, I realize leaving it like that would be a security risk) [06:14] can anyone help me with the printing program problem I described above? [06:14] gmcastil: it says there is a example in /usr/share/doc/sysprofile/examples/etc/profile ... would that work for you? [06:14] templario: Thanks [06:14] gmcastil: see my query [06:16] ushimitsudoki: i'm not sure what package that comes from, but i don't hav eit [06:16] ushimitsudoki: if yours is still the original - can you just pastebin it? [06:16] gmcastil: I /queried you with mine [06:16] gmcastil: I"m not on kbuntu [06:16] hey guys, i've got a core2duo cpu, /proc/cpuinfo shows both cores support hypertherading, after adding ht=on to the kernel command line in /boot/grub/menu.lst, i still only have the two physical cores rather than 4 logical cores, any idea how i can enable hyperthreadign? === brandon is now known as Bluewraith [06:17] tritium: yeah, i got it - thanks [06:17] tritium: some guy earlier gave me one from a differnet distro....grrr [06:18] gmcastil: also, /usr/share/base-files/profile is the original [06:18] jscinoz: i help you [06:18] gmcastil: .postinst for base-files installs that into /etc/profile [06:19] I'm trying to install Ubuntu on an existing partition, and the manual partitioning option doesn't show any partitions... what should I do? [06:20] templario any ideas how to get ht to actually enable [06:20] aaronp: install ubuntu from cd? [06:20] gmcastil: did you see my last message to you? [06:20] templario: Yes [06:20] tritium: yeah, not sure what you menat by .postinst [06:20] install with fdisk aaron [06:21] gmcastil: a .postinst is a script that is run after a package is installed [06:21] hello is anyone here that can assist? with networking ? or sharing folders between computers? [06:21] When I try to run the Setup.exe file for Photoshop CS2 with wine .9.54, I am told that the software requires Windows XP SP2 or later. What can I do? [06:21] I'm getting messages from the kernel: 'program parted_devices is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert to SG_IO' [06:22] gmcastil: if you'd like to see for yourself: cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/base-files.postinst [06:22] tritium: yeah, i know what you mean - thanks for showing me where they are, though [06:22] gmcastil: no problem [06:22] tritium: debian does some wierd stuff [06:23] tritium: i'm a redhat vet [06:23] Hello, I run a ssh off of my computer to access from school, etc and create and allow other people to connect to. A friend told me the "who" command works to see who is online, but what if I want to see who has been online in the last 24 hours or so? Is there any command for that? [06:23] gmcastil: I was too, until i saw the light. [06:23] tritium: i'm not sure that i like how much is hidden [06:23] gmcastil: nothing is hidden. What do you mean? [06:23] Is there a reason everyone seems to love Transmission? I haven't used it much, but it doesn't seem any better than deluge... [06:23] THEBLACKOUT: made w [06:23] in console [06:24] ? [06:24] tritium: maybe it just seems that way since nothing is in the same place [06:24] "made w"? [06:24] yes [06:24] w in terminal of ssh [06:24] gmcastil: yes, you're just used to where redhat puts files. [06:24] underwatercow: deluge works fine for me as well, personal preferences I think - I wouldn't say either one is superior (at least not in any area I need) [06:24] you see who connect in your ssh [06:24] tritium: and rpm...i'm really fighting with apt-get - i miss the simple syntax that rpm had [06:25] Can anyone in here help me out with a sound card issue? [06:25] !ask | lewdvanity [06:25] lewdvanity: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [06:25] ushimitsudoki: Transmission is being included by default in Hardy Heron, so I was curious why... maybe it's basic enough to be usable by everyone, but functional enough to be useful? [06:25] gmcastil: you'll quickly find that Debian's package management is a step-up from .rpm [06:25] gmcastil: you may find this useful: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ [06:26] Ok. I just Deleted Vista from my laptop and installed Ubuntu, and my sound isn't working. Any suggestions [06:26] tritium: i like the look of that....does ubuntu differ substantially from debian underneathe? [06:26] gmcastil, I think the package management is heaps better than the rpm [06:26] gmcastil: nope, not much [06:26] why would I be able to connect to a given wifi with Win2k but not Ubuntu, drivers? [06:27] lewdvanity: what brand laptop? [06:27] Its's a dell.. horrible [06:27] underwatercow: I don't know why they picked one over the other - might be interesting to read the discussion if it's out there, but again I think it's just preference. Deluge can be a bit buggy if you don't close it explicitly sometimes (like if you CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE and it's running, sometimes it won't re-launch), but that's the only problem I've had with it [06:27] bytecolor: ubuntu have wifi [06:27] I mean both operating systems 'see' the connections, but Win2k, _always_ connects [06:27] tritium: well thats good to here...i was starting to wonder if ubuntu was an attempt to mask all of the inner workings of linux to wean people off of windows [06:27] ushimitsudoki: True, but it's getting better with each release. ;-D [06:27] gmcastil: not at all. [06:28] bytecolor: wifi drivers can be really tricky to get working, I had to try three different ones on my desktop before I got mine working [06:28] HAHA winxp just crashed [06:28] tritium: thats good to here - i was considering going back to redhat [06:28] gmcastil: I hope you'll stay with it for a while. [06:28] tritium: there are things about it that i like [06:28] jc, I can connect, but the connections are horrible compaired to what I get on the same lappy rebooted to Win2k [06:29] lewdvanity: what sound chip are they using? I know that Dell just started supporting linux on some of their computers [06:29] gmcastil: good :) Idle here, and ask as many questions as you need to. [06:29] tritium: but, some of the little things are driving me nuts - like wireless. no idea where the configuration files for network interfaces are stored [06:29] tritium: hehe...i've been answering questions in here all evening :) [06:29] Does anyone in here understand what ufw is? Is it like iptables? or does it manage iptables? [06:29] Bytecolor: I'm having the same problem 30% now and 90% with win2k. [06:29] lewdvanity: nod [06:29] gmcastil: System -> Help section would help there, so would a search on wiki.ubuntu.com. help.ubuntu.com has great documentation as well. Finally: [06:29] !wireless [06:29] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:30] underwatercow: google says its a management for iptables [06:30] templario: w showed what the current users that are on are doing, I looked and asked a friend that came online and he said the 'last' command. It seemed to display the data I wanted [06:30] gmcastil: Really? I tried googling and I didn't see anything that said specifically... [06:30] bytecolor: in linux internet is 10% more fast [06:30] it "internets" [06:30] underwatercow: http://www.google.com/search?q=ufw+iptables&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a [06:30] how to add to host in ddclient? any idea? [06:31] I'm getting this error every time I install or update anything: [06:31] gmcastil: note that the network interfaces are configured in /etc/network/interfaces. If you want Network Manager to manage a particular connection, *don't* configure it in /etc/network/interfaces. Also, "man wireless" [06:31] sorry the error is:E: cupsys: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit staus 1 [06:31] tritium: the wierd thing was that ifup/ifdown didn't work, even when the connection did [06:31] Ishyuki [06:31] gmcastil: so then would it be like firestarter? but terminal based? [06:32] tritium: like right now, interfaces doesn't have wlan0 in it, even thought i'm using that nic [06:32] gmcastil: ifup/ifdown only work for connections configured in /etc/network/interfaces. [06:32] gmcastil: right, because Network Manager has auto-configured it. [06:32] been wanting to dist-upgrade, but I'm afraid I'll hose my system [06:32] underwatercow: sure, i guess - i wrote my own firewalling scripts to manage iptables [06:32] templario: how is the internet faster in linux than windows or mac? I do like ubuntu and linux a lot but I do not think the OS affects speed heavily [06:32] tritium: so, interfaces is only for manually-defined interfaces? [06:32] again, you _don't_ want to configure an interface in /etc/network/interfaces if you want NM to configure it [06:32] gmcastil: right [06:33] tritium: ah..and ifup/ifdown only deal with interaces configured in interafaces? [06:33] ok lets try this question again this time all as a single post :) [06:33] I am getting this error every time I install or update anything: [06:33] E: cupsys: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [06:33] Any ideas how to fix this? [06:33] gmcastil: yes [06:33] is there a channel for 8.04 questions? [06:33] no [06:33] theBlackOut: yes internet is 10% more fast in linux [06:33] hey guys, i've got a core2duo cpu, /proc/cpuinfo shows both cores support hyperthreading, after adding ht=on to the kernel command line in /boot/grub/menu.lst, i still only have the two physical cores rather than 4 logical cores, any idea how i can enable hyperthreading? [06:34] gmcastil: there are "wireless" and "interfaces" manpages that are worth a read [06:34] Hammer89: #ubuntu+1 [06:34] templario was that a joke? [06:34] tritium: i'll check those out, then [06:34] What the??? The partitioner uses 1MB = 1000000 bytes??? [06:34] underwatercow: pretty much all firewalling uses iptables - iptables is the kernel's packet filtering setup [06:34] templario: how so? explain how linux fastens the internet [06:34] if anyone was to control the speed, it would be your ISP [06:34] I think it was a joke. === monkey_ is now known as monTree [06:34] hopefully, but you never know. :P [06:34] gmcastil: I never touch it, as I let NM do everything [06:34] because stack of linux [06:35] the "Stack" [06:35] of linux [06:35] tritium: yeah...i'm a little leery of handing the keys over to gui tools - i prefer to know what they're doing first [06:35] is more fast [06:35] gmcastil: So... If I'm using firestarter, then there's no reason to use ufw, right? [06:35] Jc: I'm an idiot. Its not even a dell. Its a gateway my old one was a dell. Um, its a sigmatel 9200 [06:35] templario: in what way? i'm curious [06:35] have any reading material on that? [06:35] I have never heard such claims [06:35] underwatercow: unless you prefer the UFW interface to firestarter [06:36] underwatercow: they'll be different functionally, but they'll stil setup up rules in iptables [06:36] gmcastil: firestarter is GUI... but then, I seldom use the interface since I have the the rules I want in /etc/firestarter, and I always just back them up and restore them... [06:36] underwatercow: i wrote scripts that configure my firewalling rules on bootup the way that i want [06:36] is a reason of implemantation of servers linux in internet [06:36] gmcastil: I hope to see you around. Good night. [06:36] hi, i have copied (with dd) whole disk from one device to another (from /dev/sdb to /dev/sdc). now do I refresh so the proper device nodes for the "new" partitions on sdc will become visible? [06:36] is a stack of linux [06:36] tritium: yup - thanks for the help [06:37] When he says "more fast" he loses credibility. [06:37] one of reasons [06:37] underwatercow: yeah, from what i've heard, firestarter is realy good [06:37] so do you have any cited sources that validate your claims or reading materials? i just want to know and verify for my own benefit [06:37] sorry theblackout my english is poor [06:37] lewdvanity: have you checked out http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/ [06:37] they might be able to help [06:37] underwatercow: now, it's possible that ufw comes with a set of firewalling rules that the ubuntu developers think is most useful for users [06:38] is there some tool that will pick up my video card configuration and set it for me; I have two geforce cards; 5300 and 5200, trying to do dual monitor config. It picks up one card in the xorg. But, I can see it in the hardware information [06:38] im from brazil theblackout [06:38] i understand english is not the native language of everyone, but i would like cited reading material on your claims. ive never read faster internet as an advantage of linux [06:38] i have material in portuguese theblackout [06:38] gmcastil: I've only ever needed to unblock 2 ports... can't imagine the devs would need to unblock too many [06:39] of comunity Debian BR [06:39] JC: Yes, my model isn't on there. I have an MT 3705 it's fairly new. [06:39] underwatercow: no idea what the developers are doing [06:40] gmcastil: lol, well... thanks for the insight anyway... I think I'll just keep using firestarter... seems less complicated than uncomplicated firewall anyway ;-D [06:40] underwatercow: i prefer easily modifiable and tunable firewalling rules, so i've never really found anything that i liked, so i just wrote my own scripts to set it at startup [06:40] gmcastil: is it not easy enough to open a gui and block or unblock ports? what more do you need? [06:40] underwatercow: iptables isn't that hard to learn - it's real simple, if you have a knowledge of tcp/ip [06:40] underwatercow: i want to be able to limit what ip addresses are able to connect on certain ports [06:41] and unix pure is better of hardware theblackout [06:41] underwatercow: for example, even though port 22 is open, only certain IP addresses (or a range) can connect to it [06:41] gmcastil: like ip addresses from your country? [06:41] gmcastil is a port of ssh 22 [06:41] lewdvanity: not sure it this will help or not but have you read: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=597215&page=2 [06:41] underwatercow: no...like ip addresses from my workplace :) [06:42] can anyone help me with file sharing? I can see my pc on the computers running XP, but they can't access my pc, and I can see "windows network" in Network but when I open it, I don't see any pcs in smb:/// ...

[06:43] Rodolfo: sabe configurar os eggdrops no ubuntu man? [06:43] underwatercow: some of my machines are on a windows network and i got really tired of watching my firewalling logs fill up with all the netbios packets spewed out by the windows machines, so i configure the rules to drop those packets [06:43] templario: nao, amigo [06:43] Jc: thanks I didn't look there but it looks like I'm going to give it a go. [06:43] Rodolfo: tentei apt-get install eggrop [06:44] ele instalou [06:44] mas nem sei como fazer o resto [06:44] underwatercow: i also have the option (in a config file in /etc/firewall) to drop incoming ICMP requests [06:44] templario: do q se trata o eggdrop?

[06:44] underwatercow: iptables is super configurable, i'm not sure how much of that makes its wya into the gui frontends [06:44] gmcastil: I believe firestarter does support that, though I don't recall... either way, I can see how using iptables directly would make it much more versatile...

[06:45] can anyone help me with file sharing? I can see my pc on the computers running XP, but they can't access my pc, and I can see "windows network" in Network but when I open it, I don't see any pcs in smb:/// ...

[07:51] julio_pe: to add subtitles the gimp animation package might work [07:51] ThreeFingerPete, i've the movie and subtitle.. [07:51] ThreeFingerPete, and i want send it to youtube [07:51] anyone know of an app that will convert avi to dvd on ubuntu or under wine??? [07:52] well, if you're looking to hardcode subs into a video, you're asking for all sorts of fun issues [07:52] bert_man, use ffmpeg [07:52] none of which are actually fun [07:52] julio_pe: GAP will take a video, reduce it to frames. add the text and save and upload to youtube [07:52] julio_pe, you make a .srt file which is a text file that has a time stamp on one line then the text on the next and repeat [07:53] does ffmpeg have a GUI? [07:53] ere4si: i didnt know that [07:53] i cant sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/mapper/nvidia_fafjibci3 /target [07:53] it says that the mount point does not exist [07:53] then create the mount point. [07:53] ThreeFingerPete, I found out from torrents [07:53] ThreeFingerPete, what's GAP? [07:53] ere4si: thanks for that info [07:53] any way to update it to something newer or add a newer one? [07:53] :) [07:54] julio_pe: GAP is "gimp animation package" [07:54] ere4si, i did it [07:54] "detlef@MD97600:~$ man update-notifier; No manual entry for update-notifier." Where will I get information about apt-check? [07:54] kousotu: sure, you probably could, but then you wouldn't be able to get any support [07:54] already? -short film julio_pe [07:54] ThreeFingerPete, I can insert subtitles in a movie with gimp? [07:54] Guys I've wireless roaming mode in Network Manager!! [07:54] is there any reason you NEED the new scheduler? (which is the only significant change) [07:54] Help me out :( [07:55] Daisuke_Ido: The problem with this one is that Secondlife is runnign so slow it's barely usable [07:55] ere4si, yep, i clip of maroon 5 [07:55] :_ [07:55] *:) [07:55] julio_pe: yes, but it adds them as pixels instead of overlaying them like a proper subtitle [07:55] that's not a kernel problem [07:55] are you using the proper video drivers? [07:55] St0n3-C0l, whats you wanna know? [07:55] I have intel 945GM [07:55] julio_pe: there are lots of tutorials on gimp and GAP on the web [07:55] "detlef@MD97600:~$ update-notifier; ** (update-notifier:18616): WARNING **: already running?" Wie kommt diese Warnung zustande? [07:55] ThreeFingerPete, Man! Thank you! Where i can down it? [07:56] uh... and you're wondering why it doesn't work well? [07:56] I am using whatever is natie to linux [07:56] native* [07:56] ThreeFingerPete, I know GIMP. [07:56] julio_pe: Julio My net doesnt work and on Windows it does [07:56] julio_pe: try sudo aptitude install gimp-GAP? [07:56] julio_pe: or go to gimp.org [07:56] yeah, that's about as fast as secondlife is going to get. but take my word for it, you're better off not wasting your first one on the second one. [07:57] is there another driver I should install? [07:57] julio_pe: It used to before easily but now-a-days it doesn't detect my correct IP and when I go in network settings and setup hostname and dns ips...it starts doing DNS but still net doesn't work! only once or twice it worked correctly [07:57] ThreeFingerPete, THANK YOU! [07:57] St0n3-C0l, wait... [07:57] I'am so happy i finally got my dailup working in ubuntu:) [07:57] ok [07:57] congrats [07:58] I just installed PhpGedView, but when I type it in the terminal, it doesn't open. [07:58] thanks:) [07:58] St0n3-C0l, see, i had a wireless net too... [07:58] St0n3-C0l, in my case, i need confing manually IP DNS etc [07:58] julio_pe: I use LAN but it's on Roaming mode. [07:59] Daisuke_Ido: is there another driver I should install for intel 945gm mobile? [07:59] St0n3-C0l, so i beboot and it work [07:59] hmm.. === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [07:59] woo! i feel less of a newbie. i actually helped someone in here! good luck julio_pe [08:00] St0n3-C0l, roaming it's search and don't find anthing [08:00] kousotu: probably not, intel's drivers are pretty good === root__ is now known as soldats [08:00] Daisuke_Ido: well then, what ELSE could be the problem [08:00] but you're not going to get much performance out of the bloated poorly conceived and even more poorly coded pile of tauntaun droppings that is second life. [08:01] ThreeFingerPete, thank you, thats open-source spirit [08:01] ThreeFingerPete, i'm brazilian i'm learn english yet [08:01] lmao [08:01] Daisuke_Ido: this is what SL says my GFX card is, see if you cn make anything of it [08:01] the 945 is not a powerful chipset [08:01] julio_pe: your english is great [08:01] Graphics Card Vendor: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org [08:01] Graphics Card: Mesa GLX Indirect [08:01] OpenGL Version: 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.1) [08:01] Graphics Card Vendor: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org [08:01] Graphics Card: Mesa GLX Indirect [08:01] OpenGL Version: 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.1) [08:01] ThreeFingerPete, so if u see me doing a mistake, alert me ok?

Got a very simple question, is it the AMD64 version of ubuntu i should dl w an intel centrino duo processor? [08:04] yes, thats not enough for SL and compiz can take too much from your machine. i removed it and run SL ok with an ATI 9600 [08:04] jetseRn: no, get the i386 [08:04] okay, thanks : ) [08:05] Daisuke_Ido: is there another driver I should use, or does the native one work well enough? and what else could slow SL down so badly? [08:05] im running gutsy gibbon with firestarter and every 5-30 minutes the firestarter icon disappears from the tray, how can i stop it from doing that? [08:07] anyone here?

I installed on 7.1 using the link from ubotu [08:22] that I have noticed anyway [08:22] !flash [08:22] 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 » [08:23] Ah... I see. They used to link to the thread in the forum with the fix.

[08:28] how does one untar a certain file from an archive via terminal?

[08:34] yes [08:34] readyx [08:34] sry.. regulate [08:34] uhm [08:34] about 80% of physical i think [08:34] you wont really notice it as a casual user [08:35] you'd have to be running benchmarks === E is now known as Eynoh [08:35] ere4si, i think the way go is something like this: find . -type d | wc -l (except i only want to go through one subfolder (namely the album_dir)) [08:35] ere4si, familiar with the find command? [08:36] reasonably toresn [08:36] thanks regulate [08:36] ere4si, do you understand what i want? [08:36] jetseRn: for me, running vmw workstation in linux and running windows in a vm works best [08:37] in fact thats what i've been doing since '99 [08:37] toresn, yeh I understand but have never had the need to do something like it [08:37] alright so, I am starting amarok, it gives me an error saying that it has no mp3 support, I click install mp3 support, it says that it's successfully installed, and needs to be restarted, I restart amarok and it tells me that it doesn't have the capability to play mp3 files again [08:37] the command i provided will list the subfolder of album_dir as well, which i don't want... because then folders like "Disc 1" and "Disc 2" will be counted as well [08:38] hm, okay.. its just that i don't have a vista cd, it just came with my comp, and i loose all my warranty and insurance if i remove vista :/ [08:38] ahhh ok i worked it out, i just ran the .deb file instead of doing all the terminal stuff. I hope that was the correct one to fo [08:38] i could ofc download it but i dont know if they will check it or not [08:38] do* [08:38] im not sure if i am willing to risk that.. : ) [08:38] jetseRn: you have the system restore cds tho [08:39] how can install new kernel 2.6.24 on ubuntu Gusty [08:40] bashca: download the source, make menuconfig, time sudo make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image kernel_headers modules_image [08:40] not system restore cds, but i do got this restore disk tho.. i guess that would work... : ) [08:40] Can someone help a newbie out? I was configuring my wlan card (netgear PCMCIA with a rtl8180 chipset) on a compaq notebook under gutsy, and when I try to save the configuration (using the GUI network tool) I got a kernel panic (flashing Scroll/caps lock). I restarted and tried again, with the same result, only now it won't boot at all. how can I go about fixing this without losing all my work? [08:40] and i can also keep my drives right, since linux can operate on ntfs on read only, ait? [08:40] toresn, from the look of that script I linked you to you don't want an easy thing - it is not straightforward [08:41] ok [08:41] jetseRn: you can try resizing the vista partition, to make room for linux, then install workstation in linux, and configure a virtual machine to use a "psysical disk" (which is is your vista paritition) to emulate vista. [08:42] bashca, that kernel is in the beta of the next release so unless you really need it I suggest you don't bother [08:42] i personally haven't tried that [08:42] but i think it would be a great exploratory endevour [08:42] !kernel | bashca (just in case you want to break your machine ;-)) [08:42] ompaul, ok thanks for you advice i will wait until the release version come up [08:43] :) [08:43] the bot is slow [08:43] What's an alternative to xine?

[08:44] !mdsl [08:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about mdsl - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:44] does anyone know how to get amarok to use the mplayer engine? [08:44] bashca, ^^ that is as good as my kelp gets see the message from the bot [08:44] yep [08:44] hm.. yea.. that might work.. i just shrinked one of my partitions so i have the opportunity to install ubuntu if i feel the urge of doing so... [08:45] why isn't there a www.ubuntu.org ? [08:45] neeto: eh, xine our gstreamer is your best bet for amarok [08:45] i think that will be my project for tonight... i'll let u know if i get it to work :) [08:45] but im starting of slow with a vm partition.. i might just stay with it...

My laptop's hard drive just heavily worked. top told me, it's 'apt-check'. What is the function of the apt-check process? [08:47] ere4si: so ubuntu is commercial in some way ? what way ? [08:47] ere4si: well, sort of, though its not a rule. my personal website is .org [08:47] eggo: the description sounds bizarre [08:47] Erik1, sells support to corps etc [08:48] I found the same proble in the ubuntu forums, with no response [08:48] eggo: to recover your data, you can boot with a live cd, and mount the partition your data is on, and copy it somewhere safe [08:48] bullgard4: the apt-check script is in /usr/lib/update-notifier you can read it as see exactly what it does. It is part of the process that checks for updates to packages. You have been told this already by a couple of different people. Do you need more information than that? [08:48] ere4si: how would that affect non-commercials like most of us ? [08:48] is there a command to repair it in place? [08:48] Could I write a DVD from my Ubuntu .iso CD?! In which way?! [08:49] doesn't really Erik1 [08:49] eggo: not a general "repair my computer" option [08:49] eggo: i think we'd have to know how exactly its failing [08:49] how do I figure out what tty a device is running on?

[08:51] :) [08:51] bahman: no [08:52] thanks carpediem :D [08:52] bahman: yes, i think the live cd has serpentine, but not 100% sure [08:52] bahman: you will need a secondary drive to burn with [08:53] eggo thanks, but could I add some directory's in Ubuntu CD live .iso?! [08:53] I'm having issues using my bluetooth dongle. Seems like Ubuntu detects it's inserted, but even with "visible and connectable for other devices" checked, I can't find any other devices and other devices can't find my computer. [08:54] Thanks carpedim, I really the philosophy of carpediem ;) [08:54] you'll need to build a new ISO, and unless your ramdrive is big enough to handle it, you'll need to store it on HDD [08:54] Thanks carpedim, I really LOVE the philosophy of carpediem ;) [08:55] Thanks eggo :) [08:55] damnit [08:55] np [08:55] why the hell does my pcmcia soundcard not work for more than a few seconds? :-S [08:56] Where are cookies stored for firefox?

[09:08] eggo: launchpad perhaps ... depends on the application though [09:08] eggo, isn't there [09:08] which version are you using? [09:09] you have too manually edit the xorg.conf file to set the vertical refresh/horizontal sync rate in order for these monitors to work [09:09] i think this would scare new users away [09:09] hi there [09:09] i need help on my usb mdsl modem [09:09] ushimitsudoki: my problem is with the ubuntu network config gui [09:10] anyway, i didn't know where to post this bug report, so i typed it here [09:10] SliMM, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and launchpad.net for bug reports [09:10] eggo: try to figure out exactly what app or package and then you can probably figure out where to report the bug [09:10] i gotta go guys [09:10] eggo, ^^ launchpad.net [09:11] julio_pe: ok peace be with you [09:11] thanks.

I have the Core2 quad, but it only shows 4 procs, not 8 [09:14] greetings! would this be a good place to ask a question about *WUBI* ? [09:15] ushimitsudoki, with hyperthreading yes it should show 2 logical cores for every physical core [09:15] ushimitsudoki: Thank you very much for your help. [09:15] bullgard4: np, glad you found it [09:15] so 4 logical cores as i hvae two physical [09:15] im cnected to the net [09:15] but for some reason it wont see it online [09:15] jscinoz: Hmm, can you point to a screenie or something that makes you think that?

[11:30] i'm on ubuntu gutsy [11:31] HypnotiC, do you know what the two letter code for your language is? (like en, es, etc) [11:31] idk if that helps [11:31] ripdisk, pretty much [11:31] ripdisk: probably [11:31] even with an ati card? [11:31] ripdisk, take a look at the winedb entry to wow, but other than that it works fine [11:31] General Question: Will doing 'apt-get dist-upgrade' make a Dapper become Gutsy? [11:31] because ati seems to break everything sometimes [11:31] ripdisk: give it a try [11:31] ripdisk, as long as you have acceleration working already, it should work [11:32] i have the proper drivers, if that's what you mean [11:32] i can run things that are opengl [11:32] chefle, you don't want to do it that way [11:32] i can play uh, open arena [11:32] hello?? [11:32] so it should work [11:32] chefle, ideally, wait a couple months, there will be a direct dapper -> hardy upgrade [11:32] do you know where is quake3 ICONS???? [11:32] ripdisk: there is only one way to find out [11:32] for sure [11:32] chefle, update-manager can be told to upgrade to edgy, and then you can move to fiesty, and gutsy in turn [11:32] i'll idle here so if it doesn't work i can complain :P [11:33] not the icons, but the links that are installed! [11:33] Hi people [11:33] Kamus_H_Zwisch, ? [11:33] cwillu, acutally, I do NOT want to upgrade, but i always get "some packages have been kept back" on "linux-image-686" when i do a normal 'apt-get upgrade' [11:33] imaginal: actually it's already installing, it's been installing for awhile, but it's like 4gb so yeah [11:33] . [11:33] just wanted to make sure it would work. [11:33] chefle, did you do something weird with the sources.list file? [11:34] ripdisk: understood. Wine and WOW play nice together [11:34] that's cool. [11:34] i like blizzard, i'm glad [11:34] i signed a petition for a linux binary a long time ago, but that didn't turn out well [11:34] can someone help me i have a small but very very annoying bug [11:34] I'm sorry for asking this in the wrong channel.

[11:35] i don't even play anymore, i'm just doing this because i'm bored, but if it works i'll play [11:35] ripdisk, they've done some fixes for wine users (rarely), so they're not completely oblivious to it; just not interested in the last .001% of their market [11:35] yeah [11:35] misteralexander, #firefox?

[11:35] I need install Dirextadmin Panel For ubuntu :( [11:36] or does it have to be in my wine folder [11:36] misteralexander, probably something like irc.mozilla.org [11:36] hi [11:36] don't you know where are quake3 links for KDE and Gnome? [11:36] from time to time when i login to ubuntu my system doesnt find the network until e restart boot my windows and that boot ubuntu again [11:36] can someone help me [11:36] where are the system menu? [11:36] are there persons here who use ubuntu for many many years, and keep updated with last version ? [11:36] ripdisk, you can install it anywhere, I think z: is the root of the drive; you might have to set the permissions on the target before you start the install though [11:37] well, i had to install it on a different drive [11:37] due to lack of space [11:37] enzo, the box I'm on now is upgraded from dapper, and I've got a machine that was upgraded from warty around [11:37] enzo: Yes, Ubuntu does distribution upgrades. [11:37] and have you got problem while upgrading cwillu ? [11:37] argh damnit [11:37] ripdisk: It is a good idea to install it in the wine folder, just for your own binary sanity sometimes [11:37] but i cannnn't [11:37] quittt, the system menu isn't a folder like it is in windows iirc [11:37] yes usr13, but are they very stable like debian ? [11:37] f [11:38] enzo, well, define problems [11:38] cwillu, I know that it is a file [11:38] it's like 9 gigs all together [11:38] i don't have that [11:38] lol [11:38] cwillu, but I don't know where it is, since it is not from Ubuntu [11:38] cwillu, I posted you my sources.list, it doesn't contain any strange items, methinks [11:38] i want to keep my system stable for many years and keep updated along time, simple :) [11:38] ripdisk: Understood. Should be fine, but if you're bored... try some repartitioning. [11:38] from time to time when i login to ubuntu my system doesnt find the network until e restart boot my windows and that boot ubuntu again [11:38] Anyone know how to make dpkg install dependencys? [11:38] chefle, sorry, missed it [11:38] cwillu, somewhere else! [11:38] no problem with my debian testing for more than 4 years [11:38] can someone please help me [11:38] hehe, busy guy :) [11:38] dpkg -i wont install the deps of the package by the look of it [11:38] gah [11:38] is ubuntu stable over time ? [11:38] Can anybody invite me to politics, I need to discuss some very important communistic desires please [11:39] chefle, just pastebin it; WAY easier for me to deal with :p [11:39] enzo: what do you mean? [11:39] chefle, but ya, doesn't look odd [11:39] imaginal: can't really do that, two HDD's, 2 different FSes [11:39] chefle, what packages does it say? (it should say which packages are not upgraded) [11:39] no package conflict, i want a stable system rsk [11:39] ripdisk: Dually noted. Just in the interest of wasting time... I like to repartition for fun [11:40] linux-image-386 linux-image-686 linux-restricted-modules-386 linux-restricted-modules-686 [11:40] solid_liq, kernel stuff [11:40] in fact, i've installed kubuntu, and first upgrade, boom package conflict, i've never seen that on debian testing for 4 years... [11:40] enzo, stay with the long term releases then [11:40] enzo, dapper is supported for servers for 3 more years, and another year on the desktop [11:40] no cwillu cause i want fresh version of program [11:40] imaginal: that's pretty leet, I have to say [11:40] Hi I have Windows XP service pack 2, I'm very new to linux and downloading the ISO. I have couple of questions about linux. Once I install ubuntu will it automatically work from the boot and how do I manage that and drives, mouse keyboard and so on please help me I heard I have to make my own kernel, how do I do that and what is it for and help [11:40] enzo, what do you mean by 'stable system' then? [11:41] working system, no package conflict when i upgrade [11:41] ripdisk: I remember what friends were... [11:41] TheNewGuy in most of the times the boot system works [11:41] TheNewGuy: The kernel will be installed for you. [11:41] TheNewGuy, assuming everything is detected properly (and most things tend to be), you won't have to worry about any of that [11:41] without any tweaking [11:41] Any at all? [11:41] enzo, assuming your hardware is supported, it'll be stable [11:41] TheNewGuy: The bootloader will load MS Windows for you. [11:41] yeah [11:41] no problem [11:42] enzo, just to the dist upgrades when they come up if you want bleeding edge stuff [11:42] But how do I install ubuntu and run that instead of windows? [11:42] TheNewGuy you`ll only have to install your graphic card [11:42] and it has an easy to use menu [11:42] imaginal, what do you mean? [11:42] And can I run ubuntu while I'm running xp without double booting?and whats double booting, [11:42] (dist-upgrade == moving to hardy when it goes final, as opposed to the normal updates which you should always do) [11:42] TheNewGuy: Mouse and Keyboard should allwork ok when your done. [11:42] cwillu, linux-image-386 linux-image-686 linux-restricted-modules-386 linux-restricted-modules-686, so it's all the kernel stuff [11:42] TheNewGuy no i can`t [11:42] i understand cwillu [11:42] chefle, what does uname -a say? [11:42] they are two different systems you either are in one or the other [11:43] TheNewGuy: There will be option to boot to MS Windows or Ubuntu each time you boot [11:43] ÙË åðôòëû [11:43] Ok thanks [11:43] TheNewGuy but don`t worry ubuntu has every program you need to quit windows for good [11:43] TheNewGuy, you can do stuff with vm, but it's fairly advanced stuff; wine will let you directly install _some_ windows programs; dual boot means you reboot, and select whether you want to run xp or linux for that boot [11:43] oh so I dont have to set up my boot thingie I just put UBUNTU cd in once I reload and make it start from cd and just click-click-type-type to install ubuntu and then It's all good? [11:43] of course [11:43] you either get a better or an equally better program for almost everything [11:43] but you need to understand commands and learn to use them [11:43] cwillu, I knew, you'd ask :) Linux s02 2.6.15-28-686 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu May 10 09:56:30 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux [11:44] chefle, is that a standard kernel? or did you compile your own? [11:44] you become a complete user, not a live thing beyond the compuer [11:44] I need install gcc for ubuntu help pls :( [11:44] TheNewGuy: Do you have just one Hard Drive in your computer? [11:44] TheNewGuy: yes, it's all good [11:44] cwillu, is it because i have 386 AND 686 kernel installed? Yes, it's all ubuntu, no self-compiled [11:44] ok thanks [11:44] HypnotiC, open a terminal, and run sudo apt-get install build-essential [11:44] So ubuntu comes with perl and nmap? [11:45] TheNewGuy don`t worry it`s not that hard ... there are a couple of commands you`ll learn quickly and if there are any problems there is a great community to help you [11:45] TheNewGuy, there are about 20000 packages for ubuntu, so I could just say yes [11:45] chefle, I'd just look at the packages in synaptic, and see what it tells you if you mark those packages for upgrade there [11:45] either in here or in the ubuntuforums [11:45] cwillu, no X here, only ssh :) [11:45] chefle, aptitude then? [11:45] so i would like to ask .... from time to time when i login to ubuntu my system doesnt find the network until e restart boot my windows and that boot ubuntu again ... can someone help me [11:45] TheNewGuy: I suggest installing a second HD and installing to that second HD. But, the partition manager will slice up the single HD if you want; It's just that I prefer using a second HD, (if I have one I use it). [11:45] Thanks Thanks :) [11:46] cwillu, will try [11:46] Once I load it all up how do I start the internet, I got special adsl dial up connection and modem installed on my windows, will it automatically work and how do I dial up to the internet and how do I start the internet how do I choose mozilla or firefox, my windows says "Mozilla FireFox running" [11:46] chefle, you could run synaptic over ssh if you didn't mind installing it and all its dependencies [11:46] thenewguy [11:46] it just works [11:46] cwillu, remeber from old days that it's not easy to use [11:46] no need to screw around with anything to get connectivity [11:46] I got a laptop so I doubt I can install a second Hard Drive [11:46] !apt | TheNewGuy [11:46] TheNewGuy: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [11:46] Lokii-, careful [11:47] !install | TheNewGuy [11:47] TheNewGuy: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [11:47] Lokii-, if he's got a pppoe connection and an internal adsl modem, things might actually get a bit complicated [11:47] TheNewGuy: nmap is not in standard install, you will need to install it afterwards. [11:47] ah yeah i guess didn't think many isps still use pppoe anymore [11:47] o i would like to ask .... from time to time when i login to ubuntu my system doesnt find the network until e restart boot my windows and that boot ubuntu again ... can someone help me [11:47] come on people anyone [11:47] TheNewGuy: Yes, with a laptop, you are confined to one drive. [11:48] ForsakenSoul: when you ask strange questions like that, people will just tend to ignore you [11:48] just tell me is there a way to fix it or not [11:48] thenewguy, to install things like that open your terminal and just type sudo apt-get install nmap [11:48] ForsakenSoul, I'll spare you the volunteer spiel [11:48] enter your pass [11:48] TheNewGuy: when you first start the LiveCD, you'll have a running Ubuntu right then before installing. If you can't connect to the internet, reboot, take the cd out, back to windows, find out what your connection type is, and get back here for more help before installing [11:48] ForsakenSoul: better luck on www.ubuntuforums.org [11:48] and way it goes [11:48] I neeed Gaim program for ubuntu [11:48] well thats still something :D [11:48] HypnotiC: it's called Pidgin now [11:48] hypnotic gaim is now called pidgin and its installed by default [11:48] cwillu, I have forgotten why I installed the 386 kernel in the first place, maybe for compiling something... [11:49] GASP [11:49] hmm I See GaiM [11:49] Thanks [11:49] Jimcooncat, is it dangerous to go farther than live cd, because I'm scared it says it might format my hard drive by acsident and it says to take precautions to save all my files somewhere else, but I got these important pictures of photoshoped G.W. Bush on my computer which I really need so what do I do should I take time to save them on the net or just take the risk? [11:50] TheNewGuy: back them up [11:50] How? [11:50] burn a cd [11:50] I cant [11:50] if you really need it, you should already have a backup ;) [11:50] It's over 10 giggs [11:50] TheNewGuy, then don't install anything [11:50] 10 gigs of photoshopped G.W.Bush? [11:50] burn a buncha cd's LoL [11:50] So it's dangerous? [11:50] TheNewGuy: no [11:50] Sound... exciting... *o* [11:50] So it's dangerous to install Ubuntu? [11:50] TheNewGuy: but we recommend you backup anyway [11:50] thenewguy you will need to format to go past the live [11:50] Whats the % of getting my hard drive killed [11:50] no , but better safe than sorry [11:50] how do I list the files in an installed package? [11:50] TheNewGuy, of course it's dangerous. if the power in your neighbourhood goes out while it's resizing the partion, any number of bad things can happen [11:51] TheNewGuy, same risk as crossing the road wrong [11:51] oh. [11:51] thenewguy your harddrive will not get killed [11:51] !ot | SinnerG, TheNewGuy [11:51] TheNewGuy: or the installer could crash [11:51] TheNewGuy, you are the risk [11:51] SinnerG, TheNewGuy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [11:51] TheNewGuy: Backup what you don't want to loose. But I've done it many times with no problems. First, you should do scandisk and defrag on your XP system so that you are sure that data is not scattered too far. [11:51] nah yo [11:51] there's a chance that the installer will just DIE while in the middle of the partitioning [11:51] and then your whole LIFE WILL BE RUINED [11:51] NOOOOO [11:51] !ot [11:51] xD. [11:52] But it took me weeks to photoshop all those pictures.. [11:52] dude [11:52] TheNewGuy: Backup criticle files to thumb drive. (I have a 2G thumb drive I use for just that purpose). [11:52] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [11:52] you realize your hard drive could just die on you any second now, right? [11:52] Is there a really safe website to upload my pictures forever? [11:52] TheNewGuy: so..... backup? Find a way. [11:52] According to you Which one, best, version For Linux ? [11:52] or you could have a power spike, a fire, a flood.... [11:52] TheNewGuy: Running the LiveCD is quite safe, though. Wait until you get a backup before installing, imho [11:52] tbh TheNewGuy if your hesitant don't do it but if you really want to make the change it won't be much of a decision [11:52] TheNewGuy: What size is the HD? [11:53] about 50 gigs [11:53] I have 10 free [11:53] I don't understand how people can not have backups, when storage space costs twenty cents a gigabyte [11:53] TheNewGuy: picasa web [11:53] TheNewGuy, you choose you are offtopic so go back up your data and then come back, only people who don't care don't backup [11:53] TheNewGuy: But you can just get webspace from someplace and ftp 'em all over to it. [11:54] TheNewGuy: I'll take 'em for ya if you want [11:54] :D [11:54] i think i still got backups of the same data from 5+ years ago LoL anyways nite all [11:54] peace Lokii- [11:54] NO! unless I find a way to encrypt them ... Because those are almost like top secret photoshoped pictures of bush.. [11:54] They could ruin his days forever! [11:54] uhh [11:54] I smell a troll [11:54] vogliodebian [11:54] maybe you should just go ahead and format your drive.... [11:55] But I got games on it [11:55] how does a troll smell? [11:55] I think TheNewGuy is a troll [11:55] Like civilization 1 and colonization, age of empires 2 [11:55] this is a downhill battle LoL [11:55] I dont want to lose them! [11:55] redmonkey__: yea.... haha [11:55] ok, thenewguy. [11:55] back it up, don't back it up, it's your choice [11:55] redmonkey__: a little like priceless bush photoshops? [11:55] install ubuntu, don't install ubuntu, also your choice. [11:56] Hi all. Can I ask about Compiz + fusion? The card in my notebook is Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950. [11:56] Maybe not a strictly ubuntuesque question, but suppose I installed Apache and it worked fine, untill I sudormrf:ed some configuation files away. I don't need nothing fancy schmansy configuration, i just want the default files to magically reappear. I've tried reinstalling apache, but that doesn't help. What to do? [11:56] imaginal: keep your shirt on, it's a troll [11:56] nemilar, user_ so ehh lets help people who want help [11:56] AlexQ: yeah go ahead and ask...compiz should work out well with that card [11:56] usr13_, even [11:56] hi, I'l state it clear at the beginning, I'm a noob who needs a little help with xawtv, is there anyone wiling to help, please? [11:56] !ask [11:56] 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. :-) [11:56] AlexQ #compiz-fusion [11:56] hiya ppl [11:57] suweid: I think "sudo aptitude purge apache2" will wipe them out [11:57] usr13_: shirt intact. Thanks for the grounding... [11:57] all the help-ee's are scared to ask now :( [11:57] Lokii-: I will ask then :D. [11:57] Bye. [11:57] lol, I always chuckle when I see a dial-up user [11:58] nemilar, ATH0 :) [11:58] bod_, so how do you find out what is the correct Sync ranges of your display (Acer laptop [11:58] OK, so... I've successfully connected my Pinnacle USB TV Tuner, it shows its signal in Xawtv, the sound is fine, but when I try to record AVI file, it reports some kind of error (no way to get ************ (the type and resolution of the video) ) [11:58] how do i set up lappy running 7.04 updated to 7.10 as a firewall/gateway usng iptables [11:58] Parsec300: google [11:58] broadband is so cheap these days voip local and long distance w/ a second line and 5mbit internet can all be gotten for as little as 30/mo [11:58] Dr_willis: it's been years since I've even heard that [11:58] jimcooncat, tried, same problem. :( [11:59] on (re) installation it says apache2: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: No such file or directory [11:59] BlackRece: you might want to use a distro more tailored to acting as a firewall/router [11:59] whereabouts do i change my theme in gnome ? [11:59] nemilar, there used tobe an irc exploit/thing that could cause modem users to hang up By themjust SEEING that text. :) heh - some buggy modems back then [11:59] imaginal, I was looking up the nick of someone I chatted with earlier, but accidentally entered the text [11:59] Dr_willis: I remember, you send a +++ATH0 packet [12:00] Hello :) [12:00] nemilar: is there a uuntu that does it WITH a gui? [12:00] Lokii-: i pay $56 for 512 kbit === AAAle is now known as AAAle_ [12:00] could someone help me with a very easy gimp question? [12:00] BlackRece, there are firewall guis for ubuntu. [12:00] !firewall | BlackRece [12:00] BlackRece: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [12:01] cwillu, aptitude finally updated the packages, rebooting now :) [12:01] josiahw: you can try asking, but I know very little about the gimp [12:01] How can I stop Rhythmbox starting up every time I plug in my iPod? [12:01] josiahw, your idea of easy may be hard or very simple people won't know until you ask. then and only then will the know if they can answer it and attempts may or may not be made based on viewing the question - so just ask the channel not one individual and see what happens [12:02] DRebellion: prefs - removable drives & media [12:02] but i've done that, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54228/ [12:02] I didnt know if I should ask in the channel but here goes... I closed the right panel that has the layers in it and dont know how to get it back :) [12:02] suweid: I'm just guessing, but I'd try removing the /etc/apache2 directory, purging, then reinstalling [12:02] josiahw: in the file menu, dialogs, layers [12:02] that one I know ;) [12:03] suweid: If you don't need apache, there are other web servers. I like thttpd [12:03] nemilar: thanks, heh, i just disabled pretty much everthing. _I_ decide what I want to do when I plug something in :P [12:03] DRebellion: yeah, I did the same a while ago, took me a little while to find it, too.... in Hardy it's in the Nautilus preferences [12:03] My xawtv doesn't record into AVI format - the shell says "no way to get: 384x288 15 bit TrueColor (LE)", anyone knows how to fix this? :( [12:04] hm, sounds reasonable. But i want to know the general method of fixing a problem after sudormrf-ing something out of existance.. :D [12:04] suweid: what's the prob? [12:04] nemilar: thank you [12:04] you rm -fr'd something important, huh [12:04] Maybe not a strictly ubuntuesque question, but suppose I installed Apache and it worked fine, untill I sudormrf:ed some configuation files away. I don't need nothing fancy schmansy configuration, i just want the default files to magically reappear. I've tried reinstalling apache, but that doesn't help. What to do? [12:04] (repost) [12:04] josiahw: yeah glad I could help [12:04] suweid: dpkg --re-configure I suppose [12:05] suweid: i will remove --purge the apache conf files and installing them again [12:05] 'theme' is missing from my system->preferences menu bar, how do i get it back ? [12:05] i've setup iptables (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54228/) but anything i plug into the gateway can connect to the internet [12:05] yeah man you gotta be more careful with rm -fr [12:05] and sudo [12:05] you gotta type the "sudo" for a reason [12:06] Do I need 'tracker' to index my files? The only way I every search is with 'locate'... [12:06] BlackRece: did you try a gui for iptables? [12:06] DRebellion: for beagle or trackerd, yeah [12:06] I've tried everything, and I still get /etc/apache2/apache2.conf doesn't exist message [12:06] locate runs its own indexer, DRebellion [12:06] nemilar: ok, away it goes :P [12:06] anyone here know what is a good app I could use so I view videos, audio, pictures from either my Xbox 360 or PS3? [12:06] DRebellion: haha, did that one, too [12:06] hatter: right click the bar, then edit menus [12:07] How do I disable the pcspeaker? [12:07] I want it gone forever not just from one or 2 apps by config [12:07] shitty beep :P [12:07] !language | Industrial [12:07] Industrial: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[12:07] Industrial, there's a compiz option to do that. I have it flash the erroring window instead. Much nicer. [12:08] Industrial, glue. :) [12:08] DRebellion: oh sorry didnt know this was a family irc channel ... [12:08] nemilar: no [12:08] imaginal, thanks, but then i need to know the program name of themes dont i ? [12:08] cwillu, thanks for your help [12:08] BlackRece: give a GUI a try... IPtables is pretty complex to do via the command line [12:08] hi i'm trying to compile mpd, and i'm at compiling libvorbis... but error after make install http://wklej.org/id/9e803f5a98 [12:08] but there is no way to blacklist the module? [12:08] nemilar: did u see my paste (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54228/) [12:09] Tyczek: mpd is in repos [12:09] hatter: errr... appearance? [12:09] thats what i'd do in eg archlinux. blacklist it so it doesnt load [12:09] Industrial, /etc/modprobe/blacklist [12:09] nemilar, but, it doesn't have m4a support [12:09] Does anyone know what's going on? Xawtv doesn't record AVI files - when I try to, it says "no way to get this-and-that" in the shell. Anyone knows the solution please? [12:09] Industrial, theres a blacklist file on ubuntu. [12:09] !blacklist | Industrial [12:09] Industrial: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [12:10] apart from it taking all day, is there any benefit of compiling Gnome or KDE yourself? [12:10] suweid, doubtfull. [12:10] suweid: not unless you have reason to monkey with it [12:10] BlackRece: What is your problem? [12:10] And by monkey you mean greasemonkey? [12:11] hi tehre [12:11] Tyczek: you raise a good point [12:11] there [12:11] suweid: no, you can monkey with greasemonkey anytime you want [12:11] anyone here using ATI hardware ? [12:11] Okay, this is personal now. [12:11] nemilar, you mean ? :) [12:11] Tyczek: that it doesn't have m4a support, is a good reason to compile it [12:11] nemilar, yeah [12:11] usr13_: I want to setup 7.10 as firewall, web host, heres what i've done so far (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54228/) any other pc can't see internet or network [12:11] Tyczek: unfortunately that isn't something that can really be supported here [12:12] BlackRece: setup the GUI [12:12] nemilar, yeah I know, but I think I'll do it (with a luck) ^^ [12:12] by why do people do it then? To waste cpu cycles and perfectly good electricity? Aren't there superscripts that disable half the stuff I won't need? Well, thre should be! [12:12] nemilar: which one? [12:12] BlackRece: So this Ubuntu machine is the GW? You have your LAN going throu it? [12:12] Tyczek: yeah I'm sure you can get it to work [12:12] BlackRece: Firestarter perhaps [12:12] BlackRece: You need a firewall script. [12:12] usr13: that's the plan [12:13] sashimi: seriously, unless there are features you want or don't want in a package, there's no advantage to compiling yourself. Unless you want to play with optimization settings, but then you'd have to be better than the ubuntu devs. That's pretty tough to do. [12:13] BlackRece: You can use firestarter, yes, or you can build a script or download one. [12:13] usr13: i'm a coder, would rather make it my self [12:13] BlackRece: Right now, you're not blocking anything. [12:14] usr13: is that from my paste?/ [12:14] BlackRece: Well look at some first [12:14] sashimi: if you want a speed boost for a bit of extra work, you'd do well to look into prelinking [12:14] oops sorry sashimi, I meant those comments for suweid [12:15] BlackRece: http://www.malibyte.net/iptables/scripts/firewall.iptables-generic [12:15] There's one ^^ [12:16] jimcooncat, but ubuntu devs make a general package; and I also I'm brilliant. :) [12:17] suweid: cool. I cut my teeth with gentoo, compiling can be quite fun learning experience [12:18] I don't see what's fun in waiting for something to compile for 100 hours, but I could do without a lot of stuff in gnome, lemme tell you... :D [12:18] is there a way of checking the most recently installed updates? [12:19] and is there a way of rolling back like in windows~? [12:19] BlackRece: If you are interesting in really high security, you will want to dedicate a PC to be a firewall only. [12:19] has anyone experienced Xorg (on 7.10) chewing up excessive processing power, slowing down the system after long periods of idleness? Perhaps it's compiz... [12:21] :(:(: [12:21] suweid: if you have multiple boxes you can run distcc :-) [12:22] if easytag says that i'm not permitted to change names on my music, is it because of some permissions stuff? [12:22] i was able to move the files as normal user [12:22] Ax-Ax, most likely. See who owns the files. and wht permissions they are. [12:22] wish me good luck for later lol - switching to (k)ubuntu in an hour or so (coming from winxp) [12:23] hello [12:23] SinnerG: good luck! [12:23] can explain me someone how i activate an SW-proxy like AnalogX proxy? [12:23] Hello , what is the ubuntu default shell ? [12:23] becose i cant send files without [12:24] surininspire-com- BASH [12:24] dash is the 'system' shell. :) bash is the users normal shell. [12:24] hi....i am trying to use my Biometrika fx2000 device on debian but it is not working ..please help me [12:25] sean__ , is BASH the best ? [12:25] Dr_Willis I defer to your superior knowledge [12:25] I'm confused with bash and dash too === Viele-baeren is now known as ABF|Essen [12:26] Surininspire-com, Bash is so common - its the one you want to learn to use. [12:26] Surinspire I think ita matter of [12:26] is there a way of checking the most recently installed updates? [12:26] and is there a way of rolling back like in windows~? [12:26] learning the same one everyone else uses [12:26] jimcooncat, dash is a 'sh' replacement thats a little faster in ways. Theres Issues with some scripts that call 'sh' when they are really wanting to use bash. [12:27] BlackRece: http://www.malibyte.net/iptables/scripts/fwscripts.html [12:27] rich__: /var/log/dpkg.log [12:27] Dr_willis: so why does the system use dash? [12:27] jimcooncat, when they first did the change - it was a bit of a issue. but not seen much problems these days. Some people still cant understand why their scripts break with dash :) its because they are using Bash features in sh. which is wrong. [12:27] imaginal, its faster/smaller [12:28] what is the best text editor ( in shell ) ? [12:28] Yo, it's the strangest thing [12:28] Surininspire-com: VIM [12:28] !best | Surininspire-com [12:28] I have two ubuntu 7.10 installations, one of them sh points to dash, another it points to bash [12:28] Surininspire-com: 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. [12:28] what do you prefer.. black on white or white on black? :) [12:28] lol [12:28] Dr_willis: thanks. I'll makes sure my #! lines point to bash from now on instead of sh [12:28] redmonkey, iperfer green on black. :) [12:28] Surininspire-com: text editors are the source of flame wars in linux [12:28] good choice too :) [12:29] Surininspire-com, which text editor i use.. depends on what sort of editing i am doing. :) [12:29] Surininspire-com: there's lots of options. For simplicity, pico and nano; the main two are vim and emacs; then there's always my favorite, joe [12:29] I like the 'fte' text editor. [12:29] dont forget mcedit also [12:29] sorry , I'm new so I would like to know the most prefer. [12:29] how to use Biometrika device in ubuntu?? [12:29] the first editor I used was joe, so that's what I know the best and like the most [12:29] sun i use gedit [12:29] Surininspire-com, stick with a simpler one.. then learn vi when you can. [12:29] Surininspire-com: I believe the most popular would probably be vim [12:29] !ot [12:30] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [12:30] or pico [12:30] Hi [12:30] I prefer vim. It is familiar [12:30] nano is my favorite [12:30] It's best to know vim, even if you prefer something else though. Vi can be found on almost all unix installs [12:30] I've try vi, it seem strange editor. [12:30] Surininspire-com, just rember in nano when the help says use '^w' or similer.. that ^ means use the CONTROL key. ^w = Ctrl-w === damien is now known as lost_eden [12:31] * sean__ dons asbestos junderwaer for the vi vs everything flame war :) [12:31] Surininspire-com, run vimtutor it is an interactive tutorial [12:31] JOE is clearly the best text editor. [12:31] !offtopic [12:31] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [12:31] Surininspire-com: if you run nano, you will probably want to run it like "nano -wB yourfile". That way you cut out line wrapping, and you get a backup file [12:31] lol [12:31] lol [12:31] Surininspire-com: check MP [12:32] Surininspire-com: i mean PM [12:32] ok , Thank for all opinion [12:32] See what you started? [12:32] jimcooncat:how to make use of device Biometrika fx2000 fingerprint scanner in ubuntu? [12:33] is it "kde-base" for kde4 that I must apt-get in order to use kde4?

[12:34] quit [12:34] pras: I would guess that you'd want to look through their docs on how to incorporate it with PAM. [12:34] thanks Drebllion [12:35] !help [12:35] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [12:35] !msgthebot | pctrasher [12:35] pctrasher: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot).

[12:36] i am getting error for initializing device by command #FxReset -p 0 as..FXOEM Open Channel: error 116 so i am stuck that position [12:36] pras, no idea. I look at those fingerprint scanners and think.. what a rip-off gimmic. :) check the ubuntu forums/google I guess. [12:37] some one can explain how i activate aptproxy and how i have to config the xchat for use conex thru the proxy? [12:38] pras: sorry, means nothing to me. It makes me wonder if it's linux compatible. [12:39] hi I downloaded a desktop ubuntu called "ubuntu-7.10-desktop-amd64" but now I am not sure if it works also on intel :( [12:39] jimcooncat: it is compatible with linux as per there site officially supported by red hat fedora and suse only.. [12:39] this walkthrough helped me setup my fingerprint reader: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_enable_the_fingerprint_reader [12:39] pctrasher: I don't think aptproxy is what you're looking for to tunnel xchat traffic. aptproxy is more like making your own package repository [12:39] Liquid: why do you want 64bit? [12:39] because I have more than 4gb ram [12:39] Liquid: it will work on intel [12:40] okay thx [12:40] Liquid: it will work on intel 64-bit procs [12:40] pras, did they provide you with a .deb file to install? [12:40] okay thx [12:40] How can I burn it now on a cd? [12:40] lol, I love that 64-bit software is so junky that the only reason to want it isn't for the additional 32 bits of processing power, it's so you can handle more RAM [12:40] !burn > liquid (read the private message from ubotu) [12:41] okay lol [12:41] thx [12:41] Does anyone in here code for a living? Did you go to school?

[12:42] jimcooncat:no no..they have given me sorce code of driver and FxReset utility..they have given other packages like gui for it but it is in RPM as well compiled driver for red hat,suse,fedora [12:42] jimcooncat, and what should i take for tunneling thru an proxy [12:42] ? [12:43] pctrasher: I use ssh, but you'd need an ssh server somewhere on the outside. other than that I wouldn't know [12:43] how can you configure ubuntu to automatically run programs at start up via a command line? [12:43] what is x64? [12:43] 64bit os? [12:44] pras: maybe you could try installing their rpm with alien [12:44] Why does 'smbclient -L localhost -U%' print different values for domain, server and master compared with 'smbclient -L Amilo7600'? (http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/32673) [12:44] mrmonday, depends on what programs you are wanting to start up [12:44] jimcooncat, the trouble i have is that i cant send files to adsl users [12:44] http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/?page_id=5 <--- if i have vista 64bit.. whoch file should i donwload? [12:44] x64? [12:44] on windows i use mirc and analogxproxy for send files [12:45] pctrasher: why not post them to the web and send them a link? [12:45] : but first it has to work with command line because gui also using internally that command [12:45] http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/?page_id=5 <--- if i have vista 64bit.. whoch file should i donwload? [12:45] Dr_willis, what would be used for the different things that need to automatically run? [12:45] becose im op on a channel and i need to send from there [12:46] mrmonday, services are ran one way, systme things in rc.local, gnome has a session manager feature. [12:46] Liquid: x64 [12:46] Dr_willis, it's for a server version of ubuntu, and afaik it isn't a service [12:46] how do i check permissions on files? [12:46] ok, i could use mirc with wine. But i think that it would be possible to make it work also whit xchat [12:46] Ax-Ax: ls -l [12:46] ok :) [12:47] mrmonday, then what is it? [12:47] mrmonday, most likely you want to run it from rc.local then [12:47] okay [12:47] hao do i change permissions on files? [12:47] chmod [12:47] Dr_willis, how would I set that up? (if you tell me what file to edit I can use the googles :) [12:47] chmod [permission settings] file [12:48] !chmod [12:48] mrmonday, the file is /etc/rc.local [12:48] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [12:48] Dr_willis, thanks === ABF|Essen is now known as Viele-baeren [12:49] is there a way to add more translucency throughout my desktop [12:49] Dr_willis, what would I do about services? [12:49] Ax-Ax: it takes a little getting used to chmod... there are two ways to manipulate the permissions. one is by [type]+/-[permissions] (for example g+rw is group, add read and write), the other is hex... '1' is execute, '2' is write, and '4' is read; you add them to create total permissions, and it's in the form of [owner][group][other] [12:50] is gnome-look.org down? [12:50] mrmonday, you make a service script for them like the other sysv service scripts in /etc/ [12:50] Ax-Ax: so for example 755 is "owner can read, write, execute; group and other can read and execute" [12:50] Dr_willis, is that just 'put a shell file in /etc/init.d'? [12:50] mrmonday, they are more then just a simple shell script [12:50] jay-oh-en: seems like it [12:50] nemilar, i want to change owner from root to my user axel [12:51] I was told that this was the place to go if you need help with ubuntu? [12:51] Ax-Ax: oh, then that's not changing permissions (chmod), that changing owner, or chown [12:51] im trying to compile alsa and im getting this error right here: http://paste.debian.net/48260 anyone knows what's going on? [12:51] oh [12:51] Ax-Ax: chown [new owner] [file] [12:51] chown axel filename [12:51] can somebody help me add more translucency throughout my desktop [12:51] Ax-Ax: for groups, it's seperated by a : so it's chown user:group filename [12:51] jay-oh-en, clarify that question a bit. You Might want to check out the compiz features [12:51] nemilar: :):) [12:52] Can someone help me get internet on my ubuntu laptop? -.- [12:52] is there a program where I can convert OGG files to something like mpeg? [12:52] Ax-Ax: glad to help [12:52] Guys how to you view Windows .hlp files? [12:52] How can I pipe an 'ls' output into a 'mv' command? [12:52] rich__: what exactly do you want to do? [12:52] sev_: try the CHM viewer [12:52] rich__: ` ` [12:52] i want to match some files in a directory and then move them to another location [12:52] Wi1d: that's not a pipe ;) [12:53] nemilar: you think it will view both .chm and .hlp? [12:53] Yeah but that would work [12:53] ll *match* | mv somewhere else [12:53] on a machine with no cd-rom and no network boot, is it possible to boot from a floppy, mount the iso from an nfs or samba share and continue booting from that? [12:53] sev_: no ;) but if you get lucky the .hlp file is really a chm [12:53] Dr_willis, not compiz unless your willing to help me get it setup otherwise no but like in windows and applications| [12:53] anyone? [12:53] nemilar: the point is the file I need is .hlp *cryes* [12:53] rich__: why would 'mv *match* somewhere_else' not work? [12:54] jay-oh-en, compiz is included in ubuntu, and it can set arbitary transparency on seperate windows. [12:54] how to instal kde to ubuntu?

[12:56] Ax-Ax: sorry, I _always_ make that mistake [12:56] thanks [12:56] Ax-Ax: it's u, not o [12:56] Rufus, sudo apt-get install sound converter [12:56] Ax-Ax: chmod u+rw filename [12:56] hi, where can i read about planing the partitions for new installation of ubuntu ?

It tells me that I can choose dhcp, static and local zeroconf, other then that, I can not tell. [12:57] vonSmallhausen: you're using dhcp I'm guessing? [12:57] nemilar ofc [12:57] Rufus ,audio or video? [12:57] vonSmallhausen: it broadcasts but doesn't get a response? [12:57] mrmonday, is that in the repositories? [12:57] Rufus__, it's in the universe repositories [12:57] nemilar What do you mean by broadcast? [12:57] and how is it spelled? [12:58] vonSmallhausen: if it's using DHCP, it will broadcast a request out to the network for an IP address [12:58] rufus__: soundconverter (source: soundconverter): [12:58] vonSmallhausen: then the router should say "okay, here's your assigned IP address" [12:58] nemilar How do I check that it does?

[12:59] sedra, nm i got it :_ [13:00] vonSmallhausen: /sbin/ifdown eth0 first then, then ifup [13:00] Dr_willis: okay thanks. do you happen to know if it uses a lot of resources? [13:00] nemilar: there is a package downloadable from launchpad for some time, cant be too hard to put this in the tree [13:00] kritzstapf: that's unofficial [13:00] things don't get added into the official repos unless they're known to be stable [13:01] like someone said, it breaks it in konq [13:01] i thought it was just the checksum needed to be changed [13:01] Dr_willis, but compiz seems way too much for me, i just want windows to be transparent and no window borders [13:01] noppe, tv shows take up a lot of hd space.. #mythbuntu for help on it. - it also depends on how you defind 'a lot' :) [13:01] but when its not working with konqueror, i understand... [13:01] Does somebody knwo the linux-wacom dev package? if so is there on for 64bit systems? [13:01] Dr_willis: more than kaffeine ;) [13:01] soundconverter doesnt do it [13:01] things are tested extensively on a wide variety of platforms before they're considered to be stable [13:01] jay-oh-en, compiz is proberly your ownly option for doing that for any/all windows. Unless you want to clarify what you are trying to do more specifically. [13:01] nemilar lots of text and the 2 last lines says "No DHCPOFFERS recived." "No working leases in presitent database - sleeping." [13:02] vonSmallhausen: sounds like a problem outside of ubuntu [13:02] noppe, mythtv is a whole PVR system. its a rather complex setup. :) but not too hard. so of course its got more needs then a single player app. [13:02] Rufus , you want to convert video or audio? [13:02] nemilar :/ The router perhaps? [13:02] vonSmallhausen: did you have windows on this machine previously, and have networking working? [13:02] vonSmallhausen: Check that the router is set for DHCP, and that it will allow any clients [13:02] nemilar It had vista when it was deliverd yes. [13:03] vonSmallhausen: it's possible that the router is just being picky about who it's offering IP addresses to [13:03] now i first time runned ubuntu on my machine but where the heck i can found ready binary Mplayer for ubuntu [13:03] ive just run an awk '{print $8}' and its missing half of the filename, any ideas why? [13:03] like windows has [13:04] Dr_willis: well, do you happen to know something like kaffeine for dvb-s? I don't really need a whole PVR. [13:04] nemilar Strange, then it's picking on ubuntu ;( There are 2 other laptops but with windows on them who does not have an assinge IP adress, but are able to connect to the internet. [13:04] kirved: mplayer is available in add/remove packages [13:04] rich__: what's the whole command you are running?

[13:05] haha, yeah d-links are some of the strangest [13:05] how do I disable certian programs from other users to see? [13:05] uh oh someone's doing something naughty [13:05] but i want download mplayer binary pack and use it like windows i have mplayer.exe in folder and launch it from there [13:05] Codenut: what do you mean by see? do you mean, you don't want them to be able to run the programs? [13:05] noppe, no idea. on that. [13:06] nemilar But you were saying something about having windows on tha machine before installing ubuntu. How does that affect the system? [13:06] kirved: those are the w32codecs. Install them from the medibuntu repos [13:06] kirved: that's not the way ubuntu works... install mplayer from the add/remove programs, and it will be added to the menus, or you can launch it from the command line [13:06] who can advice me how to efficiently and good partition disk for fresh installation ? :) [13:06] !medibuntu > kirved (read the private message from ubotu) [13:06] ls *string* | xargs mv -t newdir/ [13:06] How to run a task each time a user logs on to gdm?

[13:07] That would be nice, or I just don´t want my 13 year old to do or see anything on my system [13:07] rich__, you an proberly do 'echo *string*' and not need ls. [13:07] zoki: as far as efficiency, put your swap partition first... [13:07] rich__, be carefull withyour wildcards also. [13:07] i tried it without awk and the same happens, mv chops off the end of the filename [13:07] nemilar ? [13:07] hey guys, just followed the guide to install ubuntu on my eee-pc [13:07] and sasys the file doesnt exist [13:07] but my lan isnt working [13:07] Codenut: if you want to just make your home directory private, run 'chmod o-rwx ~ -R' [13:07] Dr_willis: he doesn't to pipe anything right? mv *string* location would work [13:07] i meant like how big should swap be, how big home and /, maybe /etc on it's own partition ? [13:08] vonSmallhausen: did you check your router settings? [13:08] anything special i have to do to get lan working on my eee-pc? [13:08] I have a quick question... I am working with a large text file in Gutsy and was wondering if there is a script that will allow me to remove a word that repeats several thousand times... [13:08] nemilar What just is it that I'm sopposed to look for? [13:08] nemilar: no need for recursive, just setting HOME to that would work [13:08] i cannot install wine too, and i dont want mess with these commands [13:08] rxndx: that's what sed/awk is for [13:08] Codenut: [13:08] sed/awk? [13:08] I'll google it [13:08] jrib: but then someone can do 'less /home/user/.gaim/accounts.xml' and check out his password ;) [13:08] nemilar, thank you [13:08] nemilar: can they? [13:08] jrib: you bet'cha [13:09] any one here playing bzflag? [13:09] hugo_: I play it from time to time [13:09] anything special i have to do to get lan working on my eee-pc? [13:09] name? [13:09] anybody want to see what my desktop looks like and maybe you can give me some pointers to make it look better [13:09] hugo_: nemilar [13:09] ok [13:09] it doesnt like white space [13:09] I can´t get squid to install using synaptic. There is an error and then I am old to manually edit a file because it is already in use. [13:10] Same thing with ¨dansguardian. [13:10] where i can find simple setup package for wine (maybe builded with installjammer) [13:10] I wish i could get Ubuntu to work normally.. but Ubuntu crashes, breaks down, gets unstable, and more. Right now i'm looking into the more technical distro's, because they're more stable. [13:10] nemilar: give it a try [13:10] jrib: give what a try? [13:11] tajjeb [13:11] xargs is truncating the filename [13:11] Is synaptic now set up for gutsy? [13:11] is there a way of passing the entire string? [13:11] nemilar: make a directory 700 and try to read the contents of a file inside with another user [13:12] the filename is like this filenamespace thentherest [13:12] can I just copy all files from "ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso" to my USB-stick and then boot the USB and use/install like a Live CD? [13:12] rich__: why are you refusing to do mv *string* location ? enclose *string* in "" if you have space problems [13:12] !install > carwe (read the private message from ubotu) [13:13] rich__: are you using xargs with find [13:13] ? [13:13] jrib: that's interesting... I _know_ that used to work [13:13] thx [13:14] where i can find good very simple setup for wine [13:14] nemilar: only if you have execute permissions on the directory [13:14] O [13:14] Oo hi everyone!

[13:15] anybody want to see what my desktop looks like and maybe you can give me some pointers to make it look better http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s272/pronege/Desktop-1.png [13:15] rich__: so tell us exactly what you want to do [13:16] jrib: ahh, interesting. I was under the mistaken impression that execute only affect directory listing [13:16] rich__: -0 and -print0 where designed to avoid whitespace filename problems [13:16] Help - I can't get SSH connections working. [13:16] marion, have you installed openssh-server?

It's using up 100% cpu usage [13:19] marion: access your router's config in your web browser, and forward it === erUSUL_ is now known as erUSUL [13:19] Flynsarmy: it indexes your files for searching [13:19] i've installed the game ' world of padman ' , i had to download a particoular file (tar.bz2, 550mb) and now i wanna uninstall it but i can't see the game in add-remove application and in the synaptic packages window ! [13:19] how can i uninstall it ? [13:19] nemilar: Does it launch itself automatically once every now and then or something? Is it supposed to use up 100% cpu usage for several mins (and counting) [13:20] marion: after you do that, you may want to look at www.techthrob.com/tech/dyndns.php (shameless plug) [13:20] Flynsarmy: yeah it'll sit around in the background, and index files every so often. on first run it'll go for a while, since it has to index everything [13:20] hello everybody [13:20] Flynsarmy: it's set to allow other processes priority in CPU usage, though [13:21] lollo, you got to find all the parts of the game you installed by reading your make and config files there is no other way other than try to use checkinstall and if it works then you can see it in synaptic - building from source is not the best idea on planet earth [13:21] nemilar: OK, thanks for your help [13:21] Flynsarmy: no prob [13:21] !checkinstall | lollo [13:21] anybody want to see what my desktop looks like and maybe you can give me some pointers to make it look better http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s272/pronege/Desktop-1.png [13:21] lollo: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled.

[13:26] kirved: then just, sudo apt-get install wine [13:26] I'm trying to configure my ATI Video Card (Vaio Laptop - Ubuntu 7.10). In terminal it says it can't write to XORG.CONF because of a "Bad Descriptor", any ideas??? [13:27] nemilar: Yes. [13:27] redmonkey: not safely unless you know what you are doing. The best way is to use the backports repository. Those packages are tested. [13:27] !backports > redmonkey (read the private message from ubotu) [13:27] marion: on your desktop, do: nmap [laptop's local IP address] -p 22 [13:27] marion: you'll probably have to apt-get install nmap [13:27] jrib: thanks again :) [13:27] do not work that sudo thing tryed it, i need pack that has all files like windows has === sharpie_ is now known as Sharpie [13:28] kirved: you want to install wine? correct?

[13:30] kirved: applications -> accessories -> terminal [13:30] kirved: then type, sudo apt-get install wine [13:30] Hi, semi-ubuntu question but I suspect you guys to know this: I had a dualboot xp-ubuntu which have a fat32 partition for shared data. I removed ubuntu using a gparted livecd and resized the fat32 partition over it. Usually I boot a windows xp cd, go into repair and do a fixboot/fixmbr. Now however it tells me it can't find a harddrive... what can I do? [13:30] kirved: it will prompt you for a password, enter your own password [13:30] hi [13:31] i have livecd [13:31] on real hardware [13:31] kirved: you cannot install packages with a live cd [13:31] DRebellion, nope [13:31] B-rabbit: shhhhh [13:31] ok [13:31] heh [13:31] sorry === ^Santri_Cowo^ is now known as co_sk_ml [13:31] haha [13:31] :) [13:32] but i want launch binary files from package manually like in windows [13:32] how can i automaticaly mount fat32 partition.. and i also want to mount the partition on ubuntu start.. [13:32] ? [13:32] chafka: you can add it to your /etc/fstab [13:32] kirved: it doesn't work like that [13:32] !ntfs | chafka [13:32] chafka: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE [13:32] nemilar: 22/tcp open ssh [13:33] front/join #seacat [13:33] marion: surprising... but ssh'ing just denies you flat out? without prompting for a user/password? [13:33] what if i collect binary applications for ubuntu to cd and i want install from cd so you want i cannot do that even if i have installed ubuntu [13:33] hi all, i want to set up a mail server.Which one you offer me, want to be something easy to manage and setup and also secure :) [13:34] nemilar: Agreed. I am using a machine name, could that be the problem? [13:34] hello [13:34] marion: use the IP address intead of the machine's name [13:34] makkalot: exim is included in repos [13:34] !mta | makkalot [13:34] makkalot: A Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) is the server software that sends and queues mail.

[13:36] rich__: gnochm is the name of the package for gnome [13:36] DRebellion and there's a second [13:36] marion: you can just run ifconfig on the server [13:36] th0r: ;| [13:36] no-one who can help me fix my windows boot? :( [13:37] karel boot from the windows cd, choose 'R'epair mode, and at the prompt type 'fixmbr' [13:37] thanks, i was using reader bot viewer for my searches, cheers [13:38] th0r: that's what I normally do, but this time it tells me it can't find a harddrive... :S [13:38] does someone knows when i collect binary packages for ubuntu to cd (like windows has software on cd) can i install them whyle i do not have internet. is ubuntu backward compatible with setups like windows has. [13:38] nemilar: Using the IP address worked. How can I use SSH if I am using DHCP with my router? [13:38] hm. When I start up netbeans I get a window with the name License Agreement but there's nothing in it (so java error?) no errors or anything [13:38] karel when you installed ubuntu did you format the entire drive? [13:38] marion: try SSH'ing to your internet IP address, you can get via www.ipchicken.com [13:39] how is apt-get purge different to apt-get remove? [13:39] th0r: no, notice the problem occured when I removed my ubuntu partions ;) [13:39] nemilar: won't the internet ip address change everytime I turn on the computer? [13:39] marion: no, at least, it shouldn't [13:39] marion: the router will generally keep track of that [13:39] hi guys, can someone help me with a broken dependency... I cannot fix it without uninstallint ubuntu-desktop ??? help please [13:39] kirved, theres this http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ but i never used it [13:40] hello can someone help me with terminal not loading? [13:40] aptoncd is awesome, btw, for whoever is asking [13:40] karel how did you remove those partitions? You should have repaired windows first [13:40] hey guys,.i need some scripting help,.,. if im writing a script that needs to be used on more then 1 machine,. how do i make the script find the username,.,. eg i have sudo cp /home/bod/Desktop/pic /home/bod/Pictures/ that wont work on a machine without a user called bod is there like a $username command? [13:40] bod_: whoami [13:41] will tell you the currently running user [13:41] kirved, an as far i know, aptoncd is in the ubuntu repos, so no need to install it from that site. just for the docs... [13:41] karel do you have another linux installed on the computer? [13:41] nemilar, how would i edit that cp command to use that? [13:41] bod_: `whoami` [13:41] with those types of quotes [13:41] th0r: no [13:41] `command` will replace the string with the output of the command, bod_ [13:41] nemilar: the internet ip address isn't going to work. For my desktop and my laptop it is the same because it is really the router that has an internet ip address, not the individual workstations. [13:42] nemilar, sudo cp /home/'whoami'/Desktop/pic? [13:42] karel at the moment can you get anything running on that computer? It sounds like you deleted the wrong partition(s) [13:42] bod_, on linux the characte ~ is a substitute for the users home dir [13:42] rich__: try checking the manual, man apt-get [13:42] bod_: use the $HOME variable that points to the home dir of the user launching the script [13:42] bod_, on bash i mean [13:42] bod_: actually oskude just gave a better solution [13:42] th0r: it's like this: everything worked in dualboot, I removed ubuntu partition and normally grub doesn't work then anymore and I fix it with a fixboot/fixmbr but this time it doesn't see my harddrive [13:42] marion: I know... but your internal IP addresses won't change [13:42] oskude, ok cheers,.,. nemilar, thanks alot [13:42] th0r: livecd's etc, but I don't have anything on the harddrive except windows normally [13:43] my GIMP package is broken and when I "sudo apt-get install -f" to fix it, it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop also... help pls... [13:43] marion: if you want to use names instead of IP addresses, you can add a line to your hosts file [13:43] www.reactos.org is this somehow connected to ubuntu [13:43] hmm... I installed those mpd from source, but I don't know how to run that... [13:43] next question,.,. does anyone here make GDM login screens? [13:43] does anyone know if installing restricted drivers for graphics may be a cause of terminal not loading? [13:43] Tyczek: mpd is just a back-end, you need another program to actually do anything with it [13:43] nemilar: where is the host file? [13:43] marion: /etc/hosts [13:43] Da_Putzler, sudo apt-get purge *nameofpackage* && sudo apt-get install *nameofpackage* [13:44] karel it would have been safer to repair the mbr first and use windows to delete the partitions, but it should have worked the way you did it. Sounds like you deleted the wrong partition or the partition table got scrambled. Either way, if the install CD doesn't see anything you probably lost windows. I would try to reboot the livecd and run gparted from there to check the partition table [13:44] h6mi1007: doubtful [13:44] thx bod [13:44] th0r: how do I check it? (I suppose gparted livecd is ok, no need for ubuntu?) [13:44] Da_Putzler, no probs,. did it work? === Yon is now known as Yonie [13:44] bod: this wont touch ubuntu-desktop, right ? [13:45] yeah good shout [13:45] karel gparted is a program that is on the ubuntu livecd.Boot ubuntu livecd and check the partitions from there [13:45] h6mi1007, do you mean the text console ? if yes, what ever your X driver does, should in worst case fall back to text console [13:45] Da_Putzler, no it will remove the broken gimp,. then install a clean one,. you will be promptedd if it will touch desktop,.,. but i dont think it will [13:45] nemilar, I know, but I can't add the music database... I was doing something like that in mpd from rephttp://wklej.org/id/2f84a7abd5o [13:45] didnt work am afraid... saying to try apt-get -f install again [13:45] hi, can anyone tell me why when i type "sudo echo "blacklist cdc-acm" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist" in the terminal i get the error: "bash: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist: Permission denied" ? [13:45] th0r: there's a gparted livecd: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php --> it's a lot faster then ubuntu ;) === hoarycri1ple is now known as hoarycripple [13:46] and sudo /etc/init.d/mpd start is not working [13:46] karel no problem....however many cd's you want to create [13:46] th0r: ok, what do I do in gparted? [13:46] Da_Putzler, what happens when you do sudo apt-get purge gimp ? [13:46] oskude: i dont know, i just know terminal is not loadings, it acts like it wants to though and that just started after i installed new drivers for nvidia, my second day :D [13:46] Yonie: because the sudo doesn't go past the redirect, do this: sudo sh -c 'echo "blacklist cdc-acm" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist' [13:46] nemilar: What do I need to add to the file? [13:47] marion: it follows the form of [ip address] [name] [13:47] E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no package [13:47] karel see if you can find the windows partition...see if gparted can even read the partition table. If the windows partition no longer exists there isn't much you are going to be able to do but reinstall from scratch [13:47] h6mi1007, so what do you see on the screen before the computer stops doing "anything" ? [13:47] astro76, ok, what does the sh -c ' do? [13:47] Da_Putzler, and what is the output if you do what it tells you to? [13:47] how do you run update-manager in console mode? [13:47] karel I personally use fdisk for my partition work...don't trust gparted, but fdisk is command line [13:47] marion: so if you want to call it "penguin" and it's ip address is 192.168.1.4, you would add "192.168.1.4 penguin" [13:47] cwillu: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [13:47] Yonie: runs the command between the '' with that shell, which is run with sudo [13:48] oskude: well i click terminal, and at the bottom on the bar i see the terminal tab but nothing loads [13:48] marion: then, from that machine only, you should be able to ssh to penguin [13:48] th0r: gparted sees my ntfs partition and sees boot flags [13:48] DRebellion, sorry, I meant for distribution upgrade [13:48] it's asking to remove all of gime and ubuntu-desltop also [13:48] cwillu: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [13:48] DRebellion, I know you can run the upgrade tool, I just can't remember how to get it [13:48] astro76, Ohhh i see, thanks, i understand, im guessing is previous versions it did, i got that command from a tut [13:48] Da_Putzler, ok dont do that,.,. what happens if you do sudo apt-get reinstall gimp ? [13:48] h6mi1007, ah ok, i got you wrong... so X works but Terminal not ? what ubuntu are you using ? [13:48] DRebellion, dist-upgrade is a misnomer :p [13:48] karel then windows should be able to see it. If you had not deleted ubuntu first then you could have reinstalled from the backup grub makes, but that is gone now so the only option you have is the windows install cd. [13:48] DRebellion: please don't recommend that [13:49] 7.10 [13:49] jrib: he asked for it [13:49] !upgrade > cwillu (read the private message from ubotu) [13:49] DRebellion, no, I didn't :p [13:49] Yonie: that command will not work with sudo without either the shell -c trick, or with tee, both these solutions are outlined on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo ;) [13:49] h6mi1007, are you using somtehing experimental like compiz ? [13:49] no but i do see it when i search for the problem [13:49] cwillu: the server instruction should be what you want on that wiki page [13:49] DRebellion, wanted the fiesty->gutsy upgrade tool command, aka what upgrade-manager offers to do when it detects a new release [13:49] ndoesnt work [13:50] astro76, Ill go check that out, thanks :) [13:50] jrib, sweet, couldn't find that page for some reason [13:50] i just downloaded restricted drivers for nvidia and installed them, that was the last major thing i did... [13:50] th0r: could the fact that I have a sata hd have anything to do with it? [13:50] cwillu: well if you meant not to run it with a gui, it's the server instructions. If you meant what are the options for the command, that's there too [13:50] Da_Putzler, the last thing i would try is to do everything through synaptic, but after that im not sure,.,. sorry i cant help more [13:50] karel not that I know of [13:50] h6mi1007, from the ubuntu repos ? [13:50] thx anyhow... [13:51] um i don't remember, i think it had something to do with synapmanager [13:51] jrib, yep, that's what I'm looking for; couldn't find it in google; [13:51] does this text show up in bold to anyone else ? [13:51] nope [13:51] babo: nope [13:51] do any of you guys here use ubuntu as your main desktop ? [13:51] h6mi1007, did you reboot after installing the drivers ? [13:51] np [13:51] cwillu: you are upgrading from what version? [13:51] but this text probably does [13:51] mark_ I do [13:51] yep [13:51] DRebellion, just normal weight text ? [13:51] How i can use software without install on live cd, example mplayer where i can download binary and then i unpack it and launc it by dropping video file to bin file and then mplayer launches. In windows i have only one mplayer.exe and i can drop files to exe. [13:51] hi, i left an erroneous comment on a launchpad bug, how do i delete it? [13:51] jrib, 7.04 on 15 machines [13:51] h6mi1007, hmm, all other programs work ? just Terminal doesnt ? [13:51] mark_0: many do, but please do not ask survey questions here. Use #ubuntu-offtopic for that. Thanks [13:51] babo: this is normal, *this* *is* *bold* [13:51] yep [13:52] yay colors! [13:52] Da_Putzler:does it have everthing that windows offers in terms of features and available of programs [13:52] mark_ to me, YES, that and much more [13:52] jrib, think I should go for hardy? :p [13:52] SALUTE ATUTTI [13:52] nemilar: Thanks for your help. I have to go for now. Good bye. [13:52] cwillu: only if you like to fix things :) [13:52] mark_ sometimes it's an easy switch, other times you may have to look for a specific program/driver [13:53] marion: np, gl [13:53] oskude, before the drivers i did goto terminal and type some cmds to get my ntfs drive to read... [13:53] hey...what's the command to run the editor to change the port for bittorrent in ubuntu 7.04 feisty ? alt+f2 and then? help please [13:53] chemist`: gconf-editor [13:53] thanks man [13:53] jrib, running it on my main, but I'm not gonna think about upgrading to that in production for at least another 4 months :p [13:53] is their a way to forcibly remove a package without it taking Ubuntu-Desktop with it ??? [13:53] I am officially idling now. Goodbye! [13:53] Guys, after i've tried out many, many linux distro's, i've finally come to a conclusion: Something is wrong with this PC. nearly EVERY linux distro is as unstable as heck. Can anybody help me find out why? [13:53] !ubuntu-desktop | Da_Putzler [13:53] should i just reformat? that would probably save a lot of time lol [13:53] Da_Putzler: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [13:54] Da_Putzler:i want to make the switch because i do alot of coding work using python,perl and php but wondering if the codecs for wma and wmv are available for it so i can watch an ocassional movie [13:54] Da_Putzler, not really, but it's not a big deal as long as you reinstall it before doing a release upgrade [13:54] h6mi1007, one way would be to go to CTRL+ALT+F1, login, and read some log files, but which, i dont know... [13:54] h6mi1007, you can come back to X with CTRL+ALT+F7 [13:54] mark_0: yes, you can still watch all your movies [13:54] mark_0 you CAN download a package containing all of th ewindows codecs... yeh [13:54] ok thanx [13:54] Da_Putzler:sweet [13:54] Arelis, ram is 99% of all problems, to work out what is really wrong you will need good hardware also [13:55] Da_Putzler:do you have a link to it ? [13:55] Arelis, get a new box if you suspect the box ;-) [13:55] Arelis, power issues are a big possibility as well [13:55] ompaul, I'm sorry, but i don't have the money for a new PC. And i did a memtest about a month ago. [13:55] h6mi1007, you could try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-terminal" in the text console... but dunno if helps, just a long shot [13:55] oskude: how can i change my password? [13:55] h6mi1007, passwd [13:55] Arelis, memtest does not stress a system like an install [13:55] Arelis, run the memcheck from the live cd overnight, and see if you can buy or borrow a ups for a few days (that'll alleviate power supply issues sometimes) === denny- is now known as denny [13:56] good afternoon everyone [13:57] good afternoon brobostigon [13:57] evening, night, morning, whichever :p [13:57] can't remember any more [13:57] ok thx, so type that in the cmd prompt? [13:57] how do I chech which serial device my usb phone is connected? [13:57] the pw thing [13:57] it could be ttyUSB0 or ttyUSB1 [13:57] h6mi1007, yup [13:57] k [13:58] Yonie, I usually just run udevmonitor, but there's probably a better way [13:58] h6mi1007, it asks your current password and then for a new [13:58] right. [13:58] cwillu, how do i run it? just sudo udevmonitor? [13:58] mark_0: the guide at help.ubuntu.com is a nice intro to ubuntu, including how to watch all your movies and such [13:58] does the screenshot key work in there? [13:59] *cry* [13:59] Yonie, yep, and replug the device [13:59] Yonie, it'll spit out a lot of text, just look for something /dev/ish [13:59] Hello :> What would be the safest/most resource-efficient means of providing virtual servers via Ubuntu? I'm running 7.10, just checking through the different options...qemu seems like it'd be overkill [13:59] Always when i press "install ubuntu" only a blackscreen appears :( [13:59] why? [14:00] Liquid: try the alternate cd and file a bug against the desktop cd [14:00] h6mi1007, no, but you can write the standard output of commands to a file with > [14:00] h6mi1007, like: ls . > list_of_files.txt [14:00] file a bug against the desktop cd? oO [14:00] i dont get it [14:01] Liquid: then do what I said before "and" :) [14:01] !bug > Liquid [14:01] hi all, can I start my already installed windows xp in qemu or virtualbox? [14:01] cwillu, i got loads of text... but i dont c anything like /dev [14:01] !alternate | Liquid [14:01] Liquid: 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 [14:01] cecko: no [14:01] aha [14:01] jrib, why so? [14:01] okay but its without a gui? [14:01] h6mi1007, and if you want to also write the error output of commands: ls . &> files_and_if_any_errors.txt [14:02] cecko: because a programmer has not written that functionality? [14:02] h6mi1007, notice the added & in > [14:02] cwillu, i get /devices but nothing like ttyUSB or sumthing like that [14:02] but i need a gui for my ubuntu.. or is only the install-process without a gui? [14:02] cecko: I'm sure about virtual box in any case [14:02] Liquid: only the install process [14:02] h6mi1007, and theres also a program called "script" that can record whole sessions... and propably other tools [14:02] Yonie, must be a different program handling the device then, hal maybe? [14:02] dunno, sorry [14:02] liquid: only the installation is without qui,its installs axactly the same as the live cd [14:02] okay thx [14:03] i will try it [14:03] jrib, I found somewhere one can do it in vmware [14:03] cecko: maybe [14:03] Is there a device manager type thing I can use to check the graphics card in my PC? [14:03] how can i see boot output instead of framebuffer? [14:03] And other hardware [14:03] kodge: sudo lshw [14:03] hello, i want to teach my really terminal(this one you open with contrl and alt and 1...) all letters of the germen alphabetical(like ae or oe) [14:03] Thanks [14:04] jrib, so it should not be dangerous for the windows itself, right. [14:04] cecko: there's a #vbox channel for virtualbox, they probably know more than me. There are similar channels for the other virtualization solutions as well [14:04] jrib, thanks [14:05] oskude: says g-nome not installed [14:05] lol [14:05] cwillu, lol, I have no clue, im really new to this stuff [14:05] i am getting error for initialization of devicei.e #FxReset -p 0 biometrika fx2000 as FXOEM Open Channel: error 116 [14:05] can anyone help me find where my USB phone is connected? [14:05] h6mi1007, youre using ubuntu ? not xubuntu, kubuntu etc ? [14:05] yonie: dmesg and lsusb will telll you [14:05] yep [14:05] terminal was working before... [14:06] h6mi1007, and what exactly is not installed ? [14:06] i often hear the word "freedom" together with linux, but isnt it is same as windows? i use internet and irc just like before. how exactly i'm free? [14:06] oskude: package g-nome is not installed [14:06] !foss | innertruth [14:06] innertruth: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [14:06] h6mi1007, what command says that ? [14:06] :(.. now i have to wait one hour :( [14:07] hmm is ubuntu 64bit good? or should i download ubuntu 32bit? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [14:07] innertruth, you have the freedom to modify and distribute the linux kernel... [14:07] oskude: uhh, i duno, i just typed what you asked me to type "sudo spkg-reconfigure g-nome-terminal" [14:07] dpkg* [14:08] h6mi1007, please read carefully its, gnome-terminal [14:08] innertruth, which means you have the freedom to use stuff that other people have modified and distributed [14:08] oskude: Not to mention that Linux doesn't have a crippled TCP/IP stack :> [14:08] brb [14:08] lol [14:08] morning [14:09] I've got a fresh install and need to compile the driver for my network card... how can I install build-essential without a network connection? [14:09] www.space-coders.net port 6667 [14:09] seems silly that its not on the install CD [14:09] !offline | SpaceBass [14:09] SpaceBass: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.byethost14.com/ [14:09] SpaceBass: build-essential is on the cd [14:10] using server edition ... so it will be via cli [14:10] jrib, really?

Welcome to #ubuntu! [14:10] how come there's no qt/kde client for MPD in ubuntu [14:10] oskude: i tried that, it accepted it but terminal still won't completely load, nothing different happends [14:10] aidy: MPD? [14:10] SpaceBass: perhaps you don't have the CD repository enabled, try « sudo apt-cdrom add » with the CD in the drive... [14:10] SpaceBass: have you enabled the cd repo in system -> administration -> software sources ?? [14:10] What is the defult password for root? [14:10] brobostigon, i tried both those commands but it doesnt tell me if its ttyUSB1 or ttyusb0 [14:10] !root > vonSmallhausen (vonSmallhausen, see the private message from Ubotu) there is none [14:10] h6mi1007, hmm, if i knew what log file to read, we would know why it wont load...

[14:11] h6mi1007, most are in /var/log [14:11] LjL I'm looking at /etc/apt/sources and it appears to be there, but I'll try that command, thanks === ablabla_ is now known as pik1000 [14:11] h6mi1007, i assume /var/log/syslog would be what we need [14:12] if i need to create a new file in /ect how do i become root? do i have to do it through terminal? [14:12] Yonie: sudo touch /etc/ [14:12] can i install the ubuntu wireless network manager in kubuntu? if so what package must I install? [14:12] Yonie for one, why do you need to create the file in /etc ? [14:12] oskude: ok [14:12] jpatrick: yes? [14:12] LjL that worked- thanks! [14:13] bulmer, i am doing a tut for my usb phone, it says i need to create a file in /ect/ppp/peers/ [14:13] sigma, you can install all packages in ubuntu as in kubuntu, and other way round... but dunno how the packages is called that you search, sorry [14:13] aidy: what is MPD? [14:13] how to run mpd compiled from source, sudo /etc/init.d/mpd start is not working [14:13] jpatrick: music player daemon [14:13] jpatrick: Music Player Dameon. [14:13] aidy: ah, no idea then :) maybe #kubuntu ? [14:13] how do i run a program from terminal that doesnt die when i close the terminal? [14:13] Yonie, okay, then you can sudo mkdir -p /etc/ppp/peers note: it is etc not ect [14:13] Pretty sweet and then coupled w/ Jinzora makes it awesome. [14:14] bod_: try enclosing the command in () [14:14] bulmer, iv made that mistake so many times :P [14:14] !flash [14:14] 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 » [14:14] bod_, command & [14:14] bod_: man nohup [14:14] DRebellion, (amarok) ? [14:14] bod_: just a long shot [14:14] bulmer, what does mkdir -p do? [14:14] oskude, & just runs it in the background, but it dies anyway when you close the terminal [14:14] LjL, il have a look ta [14:14] bod_-> create them like so screen; command & and you can log out [14:15] LjL, ah yeah. forgot that sorry bod_ [14:15] Yonie with the correct permissions [14:15] oskude, that only makes the program run in the background,. closing terminal still kills the program bulmer [14:15] bod_-> not with screen shell [14:16] but then with screen the "&" is redundant ;) [14:16] bulmer, il test,. 1 sec [14:16] okay its redundant for the & :) [14:16] bulmer, what do you mean by screen shell/ [14:16] ? [14:16] !screen | bod_ [14:16] bod_: screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen [14:16] Why does 'smbclient -L localhost -U%' print different values for domain, server and master compared with 'smbclient -L Amilo7600'?

[14:31] in the livecd [14:31] doktoreas: it's a gdm setting [14:31] doktoreas, there is no script for that, you can set it up in the settings dialog for your login manager [14:31] how is the live cd? stable? [14:31] i am doing all from chroot [14:31] so no gui :( [14:31] Yatziv: yes [14:31] Yatziv: it's supposed to be [14:32] doktoreas: you can have a gui [14:32] Yatziv: and normaly it is :) [14:32] doktoreas, you want to have an automatic login in the terminal then? [14:32] I haven't tried it but i was thinking of making the switch/leap [14:32] stefano_, nope just removing it [14:32] erawfish, i'll check it out [14:32] how can I remove a modules alias? [14:33] hello stefano [14:33] doktoreas, that should not be the case, there is no such thing as autologin in the command line [14:33] hello richard [14:33] stefano_, ubuntu will log in with ubuntu user as livecd reach gdm [14:33] doktoreas, what exactly do you want to do? [14:33] is it normal to have a hard drive showing and the file system drive in my computer [14:34] doktoreas: gdm is not "terminal" [14:34] remove that feature [14:34] or rather, console [14:34] removing that feature from the livecd [14:34] richard_, if i understand you correctly, yes that's normal [14:34] and can i install the hardy-desktop 8.04 [14:34] i am customizing the ubuntu livecd [14:34] My main installation, Ubuntu Studio (7.10) was working perfectly fine yesterday and then I restarted after a few hours (I went out to dinner) because firefox and pidgin closed mysteriously. The night before I had the same problem I do now. Ubuntu Studio will get to the loading screen and will start to load (very, very slowly). When it gets about 3/4 way through loading it goes into "BusyBox v1.1.3". What is wrong? [14:35] yes but the first time i install 7.04 it did not have that, are you sure [14:35] doktoreas, well, short answer: it's not possible [14:35] Note: It goes off an on when it works, and it's not a heat issue. [14:35] stefano_, long one :D? [14:35] ciao [14:35] or at least change the user to another one [14:35] fuh-zz: there have been errors before busybox shows up [14:35] how do i find where my usbphone is, it should be ttyusb1 or ttyusb0, lsusb doesnt tell me, its tells me usb device 2 [14:35] richard_, seems normal. you have the device on the one hand, and on the other hand you have the file system (which is an instance of the device mounted so to speak) [14:35] does the hard drive need to be mounted [14:35] in the chroot i have created a new user [14:36] doktoreas, why do you want to do that anyways? if you restart your computer all your changes are gone [14:36] stefano_, don't understand sorry [14:36] erawfish, could you be more specific? How do I find out what the errors ar? [14:36] i am working in a chroot env to build a new iso [14:36] are* [14:36] doktoreas, there is a tool to build your own iso, but i forgot the name [14:37] is the live cd included in the main download? [14:37] remastersys [14:37] by looking at the error messages... [14:37] Yatziv: it is the main download [14:37] Yatziv: to install, download the livecd image, burn to disk, boot off it, try it out, and install. [14:37] stefano i am about to install the hardy-desktop 8.04, is this the good thing to do# [14:37] i think that was the name [14:37] Yatziv: the desktop install cd is the livecd [14:37] Yatziv, the "normal" ubuntu cd is a live cd, there is another version without the live cd [14:37] richard_: it's not good [14:37] there are no error messages [14:37] richard_: it's also OT here [14:37] hmmm???

All i see is a loading screen [14:38] ok thank you for the advice [14:38] until april of course [14:38] as i am a complete novice i will not do that [14:38] fuh-zz: remove the "silent" option in in your menu.lst [14:39] doktoreas: just edit out the autologin from gdm.conf [14:39] oops. it's quiet I guess, not silent [14:39] Okay, well, I'm a noob, where can I find this 'menu.lst'? [14:39] fuh-zz: /boot/grub/menu.lst [14:39] fuh-zz: /boot/grub/menu.lst [14:39] thank you [14:40] thank you for the advice have a nice day [14:40] oh boy, my ubuntu live cd doesn't see my hard drive [14:41] fuh-zz: you probably have to mount it [14:41] i know what it means to mount it, but how may i go about doing that? [14:42] fuh-zz, http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-linux-mint-livecd-with-remastersys this may help you [14:42] thanks, stefano [14:42] Hello [14:42] fuh-zz: 1) find the device in /dev (look at /dev/sd 2) sudo mount /dev/ [14:42] how do i tar.gz a file from the terminal?

[14:43] Does anyone can tell me if it possible to install ubunto on a vista notebook? [14:43] bod_-> creation? or decompression? [14:43] bulmer, creation [14:43] bod_: makes a .tar.gz [14:43] bod_, just type "man tar" in your terminal, exolaines just about anything [14:44] DRebellion, but whats the importance of putting czf there? [14:44] stefano_, ok will do ty [14:44] sorry shouldnt that be xfvz? [14:44] hey..... i just bought an svideo cable, and want to watch things from my computer on my tv.... is there a function key on ubuntu that i need to hit to do so? [14:44] no he said creation so it c option [14:44] well just look it up on the manpage [14:44] how do i unblack list something i blacklisted? [14:44] bod_: those are three letters and three options telling tar what to do [14:44] ok ty [14:45] Yonie, take a look at this file /etc/blacklist [14:45] bod_: c = creation, z = gzip, f = work from file [14:45] can I check ntfs for errors from ubuntu?

[14:45] DRebellion, what does , work from file (f) mean? === Xjs-Itisme is now known as Xjs [14:46] larson9999, it does :-) [14:46] larson9999, true [14:46] ;) [14:46] bod_: tar = tape archive (eg back when we had big magnetic tape instead of modern hdds [14:46] h6mi1007, back [14:46] DRebellion, ok,.,. thanks for the info,,.cheers [14:46] i wish someone would give 10.000.000.000$ to canonical [14:47] oskude: welcome back [14:47] Okay, so I've mounted the hard drive and found the file, but now I can't get proper permissions to save it. [14:47] fuh-zz: prefix with sudo [14:47] !root [14:47] !sudo [14:47] 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.

I'm used to using gentoo and having -O2 for safety's sake, but an article I read said that debian built their packages with -O2 anyways, so only -O3 was a performance boost. Can anyone give me feedback about this?

[16:07] Kiborg: vlc is better by miles [16:07] Kiborg, vlc for a nice gui Totem for simplicity [16:07] Kiborg: Totem. VLC is best used for streaming and transcoding.

No point in having sata connections if you cant use them.. [16:07] I found problems getting subtitles to work in totem [16:08] <_Lucretia_> Xecuter: no, it doesn't exist, I'm on feisty [16:08] Kiborg: I like totem because it supports my mousewheel to ff and rw [16:08] !unrealircd [16:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about unrealircd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [16:08] Kiborg: Nothing is stopping you from having both installed and using one or the other as situations change.

[16:28] rinaldi_: that way you can run it simply by typing in a command prompt its name [16:29] rinaldi_: when you want to run a program, the system looks for those programs in your $PATH [16:29] kestir: ah i see so just download them to /usr/bin in future, also is it the same with the tar.gz files, they always appear on desktop... [16:29] rinaldi_ - /usr/local/bin is prefered location for "locally" created apps [16:29] Hi, do you know how to shorten the lenght of password? Where is the setting to change?

[16:36] alt-g no sound ==> apt-cache search turns up softbeep [16:36] gomezX01-> is your client requesting at all? you started your client to make a request how? [16:37] roddersg: right click on your gnome-terminal window, edit current profile and check to see if "Terminal Bell" is checked [16:37] Does anyone know why my ubuntu would be showing squares instead of letters?

[16:37] kestir: i didn't need to do that $PATH thing, it appeared in applications after i ran it in /usr/bin/. do i need to do the other bit? [16:37] yeah get beeps from all programs except mine [16:37] bulmer: or just unplug my cable [16:38] rinaldi_: nope... [16:38] bulmer i can send you the network trace if you like [16:38] Pandab - you may have a wierd font in use that the terminal can't display [16:38] danand: It has a wierd repository system, and the config files are messy, and the init script is outdated. I just think it would be awesome if someone just remade the whole file system, made it's own SIMPLE package manager, to make an nice gui interface to it. THE POTETIONALS ARE HUGE. Just make it simpler, and get rid of debian stuff. Make it your own :) [16:38] hi; I have just installed kubunu hardy alpha 3 (so as to test out the b43 driver) when I load any of the broadcom drivers (even ndiswrapper ones) it doesnt set up the NIC. what do I need to do ? [16:38] rinaldi_: but it's a good thing to know. don't bother putting tar.gz's in those directories...as those are basically zip files [16:38] gomezX01-> not yet, i want to understand what are you doing to initiate the request of an ip from the client [16:38] kestir: so how can i install those tar.gz's? [16:38] spaceninja: It's a real mess, that's the feeling im getting. [16:38] haha [16:39] danand [16:39] I wont use it becuase it's so cluttery [16:39] rinaldi_: right click on them, then go into the directory that it makes and read whatever docs come with it [16:39] bulmer: as i told you in windows ipconfig /release then Ipconfig /renew in linux /etc/init.d/networking restart [16:39] rinaldi_: right click on them and extract, bnasically [16:39] I have enabled all repositories but don't find IceCat in synaptic (dapper drake ubuntu 7.10) [16:39] kestir: k thanks a lot [16:39] gomezX01, not if you use network-manager [16:40] gomezX01-> on all your clients both windows and linux, it takes 4 minutes to get a response from the dhcp server? [16:40] in that case it's /etc/dbus/event.d/*NetworkManager restart [16:40] bulmer: yes [16:40] spaceninja - apt is probably one of the best repository systems there is - Your probably not gonna convince me otherwise - I'm a big Debian fan. Ubuntu simply wouldn't be here without Debian [16:40] danand: /agree [16:40] gomezX01-> whats between your clients pc and the dhcpserver? switches? hubs? routers? what?

It was the packages! [16:41] how do i force password for single mode login ? [16:41] bulmer : dhcp server is a VPN-1Edge box from sofaware [16:41] gomezX01-> manage switches? if manage are you sure its not filtering anything? [16:42] I used to run Redhack back in the day. What was it.. 9.0, I think? [16:42] bulmer: just working as normal switches [16:42] That was a nightmare. [16:42] could someone recomend a book that explains working with scripts? And that it starts with an assumption that you don't know anything about the subject? [16:42] danand: Apt is old, it's done it's job. And what's the deal with have 5 different package managers? pkginst apt-get aptitude, synaptics, and so on? Just make one that works, and build a gui interface that uses it. [16:42] kestir - I remember the days of having to sort out all package dependencies manually with Redhat - rpm sucks [16:42] gomezX01-> can you also try to substitute another dhcp server preferably a linux box that can serve same purpose? [16:42] ene_dene: Learning the bash Shell [16:42] danand: agree 100% [16:42] bulmer: thought of the same thing myself [16:42] kestir: thank you [16:43] Hi. Anyone know of a way to password protect files+folders without reformatting my laptop under truecrypt? [16:43] spaceninja - synaptics, aptitude etc are all just front end GUI's for the apt system [16:43] danand: I will never go back to spending hours isntalling dependency after dependency after dependency [16:43] it's in saudi arabia :) so i will tell the engineer to do it :) [16:43] Then a friend of mine installed Gentoo for me, and I thought "emerge" was the stuff. [16:43] spaceninja, five package managers is baffling for sure, if you dislike it, I would probably go to a different distro [16:43] gomezX01-> well make your life simpler first, rather than having these exotic devices you may not be familiar with [16:43] bulmer how dot i do the color thing [16:43] Is there a way to get a terminal window in XFCE? [16:43] kestir - That used to be a nightmare XO [16:43] Then someone introduced me to Ubuntu a few years ago. Even better. XD [16:43] Epicenter713: alt-f2 xterm [16:43] there should be one simple way of doing things, not thousands, with all their little apps, files cluttered all over the system [16:43] danand, apt-get aptitude gnome-app-install auto-codec synaptic pkginst etc. completely unnecessary [16:44] it's like a BEAST [16:44] gomezX01-> and wait a minute, are you also aware of the most recent undersea cable cut in the Middle EAst? [16:44] uncontrollable [16:44] hi all, I've resized my NTFS vista partition with gparted (ntfsresize claims full support) - but now it refuses to boot. The man page suggested fix is to set access mode to LBA - but I can't since SATA doesn't do that. Any ideas? [16:44] wow [16:44] bruenig: in your opinion [16:44] I want full insight in every file, I want total control [16:44] spaceninja: some of those are for command line, not everyone installs guis [16:44] kestir, good rebuttal [16:44] bulmer no [16:45] Okay, time to restart XChat. Be back shortly. [16:45] bulmer: connecting through vsat so no cables there :) [16:45] gomezX01-> you got to read up on the news sometimes.. ..google up those topics, undersea cables cut [16:45] bruenig - agree to a certain extent - too may choices maybe, but then each to there own - i like apt-get in a terminal others like aptitude some like synaptics - the choice is up to you [16:46] Maybe the CONSTANT Slowdown on this reasonably fast machine, Crusoe 1 GHz, 256 MB RAM ... is because Xorg is using 50% of the CPU all the time? [16:46] for god knows what reason [16:46] well, I heard you shouldn't use apt-get, and that you should use aptitude, that doesn't make any sens if it's just a front end? [16:46] gomezX01-> you have direct link? or through ISP's? you may be investigate the link how it gets to the other end [16:46] bruenig: also...apt-get and dpkg do completely different tasks, you did know that, right? [16:46] now 75% [16:46] danand, package management should be a unitary thing, it is not one of those things like media players where choice makes a great deal of sense, choice just confuses [16:46] kestir, I didn't list dpkg did I [16:46] Epicenter713: but it only does that if you are running the xfce session, right? [16:46] bruenig - Choice is part of what makes GNU/Linux special [16:46] danand, package management should be a unitary thing, it is not one of those things like media players where choice makes a great deal of sense, choice just confuses [16:46] bruenig: no, but you listed things that do different tasks. [16:46] tz34781: yes; it's fast if I just run xterm and nothing else [16:46] kestir, I didn't [16:47] :-) [16:47] bruenig: So I assumed you were confused with there being more than one thing for you from which to choose [16:47] bruenig: yes [16:47] tz34781: once XFCe finishes loading, it is slow and choppy 99% of the time. If I hit Log Out, it's suddenly full speed again! [16:47] gomezX01-> btw, you are the first person I know of thats have been directly affected by that cable cut..the rest I only read from the news [16:47] Cable cut? [16:47] bruenig: I suggest reading the man pages on those apps you listed, maybe you'll be suprised [16:47] now 100% is used by Xorg! [16:47] REWRITE UBUNTU, GET RID OF ALL THE DEBIAN HERITAGE! :) [16:47] kestir, package management is what makes a distro, the choice between package management schemes is the choice between distros not the choice within distros, to make it the choice within distros is to baffle and muddy the system [16:47] bruenig - they are all unified - they are all in one way or another using apt as their backend [16:47] kestir, I assure you I have [16:47] Epicenter713: can you try fluxbox or icewm and see if it still slows down? [16:47] spaceninja - booo :P [16:48] are they installed by default? [16:48] bulmer: tnx for the help got to run [16:48] Epicenter713: no [16:48] coldboot|home-> you in the USA, not impact to you [16:48] hehe [16:48] spaceninja - flame flame :) [16:48] Epicenter713: sudo apt-get install fluxbox [16:48] QUESTION: when rendering gtk themes, is cairo GL-accelerated? [16:48] but seriously, it's a win win situation [16:48] bulmer: Wow, I just read it, an undersea cable got severed. [16:48] danand [16:48] coldboot|home-> that started 3 days ago [16:49] as long as I don't have to do the work :) [16:49] spaceninja: then in the gdm login screen you can choose which session type to run (xfce, fluxbox, ...) [16:49] hi! i'm having some trouble getting my ati x1550 working on ubuntu with lastest fglrx drivers :( i get this -> (EE) fglrx(0): Fail to initialize ASIC in kernel. (II) fglrx(0): PCIE card detected, but my card is agp!! -the board doesn't have pcie!!- [16:49] Epicenter713: then in the gdm login screen you can choose which session type to run (xfce, fluxbox, ...) [16:49] spaceninja: nvm [16:49] people - apt-get install beep works like a charm [16:49] coldboot|home-> am glad i dont have to deall with those idiots from pakistand and india cold calling [16:49] tz34781: Yes, but I only got gnome installed, what should I do? [16:49] and some from philippines too [16:50] spaceninja: sorry, that message wasn't for you [16:50] haha I know [16:50] When rendering gtk themes, is cairo GL-accelerated? [16:50] hey guys,. i have an annoying problem,.,. im using a tar command that works but inside the tar file, instead of there being a folder called human theres ,.,. /home/bod/Desktop/Human 3 unusefull files [16:50] spaceninja - the ammount of work involved in rewriting/reimplementing all the _years_ of development work done by the Debian guys would be huge - the loss of that heritage would be a massive step backwards! [16:50] APT-GET IS OUTDATED, IT WILL SOON EXPLODE!!! RUN [16:50] tz34781: OK, I'm now just running xterm and Xorg is still using 50% of the CPU or more. [16:50] sudo tar czf /usr/share/gdm/themes/Human1.tar.gz /home/$username/Desktop/Human [16:51] Repeat question, I've resized my NTFS vista partition with gparted (ntfsresize claims full support) - but now it refuses to boot. The man page suggested fix is to set access mode to LBA - but I can't since SATA doesn't do that. Any ideas? [16:51] tz34781: spiking to 75% and 96% of CPU :( [16:51] bod_-> you have been at this for hours, can you read up tutorials on tar, archiving on google? [16:51] Epicenter713: hmm. what gfx chipset do you have? [16:51] you know, I had a similar issue in XP. Anything graphical made the CPU max out!

[16:52] Epicenter713: i think this card is crap, even for 2D [16:52] bod_-> am sure google can link you to bunch of tutorials on archiving and tar..try again please [16:52] danand: But it can't be that hard, just rewrite the script for every package to a new type of repos, while keeping the old one, until every package is ready. Then make a new filetree with a kernel and some gnome software, piece of cake [16:52] fantum13: are you on dapper drake ubuntu 7.10? [16:52] when i play youtube videos in full screen, the video seem to get divided into vertical lines when the camera moves up or down, does anyone else have the same problem? === kodge__ is now known as Kodge [16:52] no, i mean horizontal lines [16:52] tz34781: how can it be so bad that it puts the CPU to 96% doing NOTHING? [16:53] my pentium 1-133 Mhz system didn't do that, and it had garbage onboard video [16:53] alpaco: dapper drake is not 7.10, [16:53] Epicenter713: i don't know. which driver is Xorg using now?

[16:54] ubuntu will explode in 4 [16:54] 3 [16:54] 2 [16:54] 1 [16:54] bod_ i am suggesting for you to do some legwork reading.. [16:54] spaceninja - to an extent thats what the Ubuntu guys _have_ done - Ubuntu is Debian [16:54] moonsea, 7600gs [16:54] Epicenter713: look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf in Section "Device", line Driver "..." [16:55] boo - spaceninja - left before i could get in a reply - coward :) [16:55] Epicenter713-> not same chips, just that i experience 96% cpu usage of xorg, and locks up my system.. [16:55] hello,everybody [16:55] bulmer, i have googled for about 30 mins to an hour, ive read man pages and --help pages,. im asking in #bash im hardly sitting on my **** waiting for someone else to do it for me ,. im just after an answer [16:55] its good that ubuntu is based on debian becasue the package system is so simple and easy and straightforward, and saves me lods of time, [16:55] bod_: thats what happens - this is a free chat with volunteers - but if you repeat your question I'll see if I can help - I suggest you're more polite though [16:55] brobostigon: And fast. :D [16:55] why would my web browser and email client go black somethines I log out and log in and works for a long time then will do it again? [16:56] tz34781: it's the "siliconmotion" driver [16:56] brod_ easy easy, your blood veins are popping...take a breather :) [16:56] why would my web browser and email client go black somethines? I log out and log in and works for a long time then will do it again? [16:56] Pirate-King: Because you pirated them? ;p [16:56] Epicenter713: you can try temporary change that line to Driver "vesa" and see if it helps [16:56] lol [16:56] Pirate-King: I'm not sure but are you using 32 or 64 bit? [16:57] 32 bit [16:57] Hmm. [16:57] elliotjhug, sorry,.,. im usually here helping people but the 1 time i have a problem i get shouted at for asking more then once in an hour,. sorry just a bit touchy,. thanks for helping [16:57] any one can help me [16:57] ? [16:57] b4l74z4r,use the latest mplayer may help you, i always switch to windows watching film ;-( [16:57] i am new at UBUNTU [16:57] Pirate-King: Please use tab completion so I can see your replies. Just type the first few characters of the name and it completes it when you push Tab. [16:57] !ask | BABA_RECORD [16:57] BABA_RECORD: 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. :-) [16:57] moonlite, ok, thnx [16:57] brobostigon - its not just the packaging system - theres a whole load of stuff used in ubuntu thats been made possible by the efforts of the Debian community - to throw that all away would be a shame - Glad you agree :D - think spaceninja touched a sore spot!! [16:58] Pirate-King: Ok, so do any other apps do it? [16:58] moonsea, , ok, thnx [16:58] tz34781: restarted X and the computer crashed. [16:58] i need another MIRC not this [16:58] this is insane [16:58] i turned off 'snapping windows' in the compizconfig settings manager, and the windows are still snapping... ? [16:58] but any script work [16:58] for [16:58] So much ubuntu "just working". [16:58] My USB subsystem keeps dying on me. When I run lsusb, port 3 is reported twice, and port 4 is not reported at all. My USB peripherals stop working, and a bunch of crap is pasted to dmesg like i/o errors. [16:58] !enter | BABA_RECORD [16:58] BABA_RECORD: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [16:59] Epicenter713: just working on sane hardware [16:59] moonsea, it's actually just youtube videos that have this disturbance, movied i play in totem are perfectly fine [16:59] tz34781: 'sane'? [16:59] Epicenter713: Hehe, any operating system that truly "just works" is far too simple to be usable. :-) [16:59] MrObvious you understand about the black thingie? [16:59] BABA_RECORD: Try XChat. Or if you want, Opera has an IRC client or even there's a Chatzilla plugin for Firefox. [16:59] yes but this is approaching ridiculous... [16:59] !ask where can i download 1 MIRC script to work in UBUNTU [16:59] Avant Window Navigator is amazing!!! [16:59] os x is a nice os [16:59] Pirate-King: Do other apps do it? [16:59] Pirate-King: It could be a video issue. [17:00] RyanPrior - think theres been similar posts in the past about this - the USB system goes to sleep. Sure theres a fix - anyone remember it?? [17:00] bod_: sure - I see your frustration - I get the same, I've totally screwed up my windows partition with gparted - but I don't get responses. Whats your question again - I'll have a go (sorry if I missed you repeating it - I was trying to save my partition) [17:00] b4l74z4r: ubuntu can do what osx does.... http://pcwizkid.blogspot.com/2007/12/ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon-710-vs-osx-leopard_17.html [17:00] hmm yeah I thinks so but can't really recall now web browser and email is the only one I can recall [17:00] tz34781: now everytime I start up X crashes the machine. I can't even change virtual consoles. [17:00] they're all black screens [17:01] Epicenter713: If you hang out in here, you'll learn that Ubuntu breaks all the time for all kinds of reasons, especially if you're on hardware that is poorly supported. [17:01] Epicenter713: argh.. [17:01] BABA_RECORD try using Konversation thats a decent client [17:01] how do you do that tab thing?

[17:01] Epicenter713: the video bios seems to be broken if even the vesa driver does not work [17:01] elliotjhug, thanks for your help,. i think i may just have cracked it so let me give t a go, if i havent fixed it ill ask you,.,. thanks m8 [17:02] !ask where can i find the terminal comannds ? [17:02] tz34781: There is a BIOS update but I think it can only be done from windows. [17:02] it's 2 years newer than the one I have though [17:02] RyanPrior: sorry - but thats simply not true, as with all OSs unsupported hardware doesn't work (by definition) but it breaks less often than some other OSs I could mention, and its a lot more robust with HDs and things [17:02] BABA_RECORD-> on a terminal press tab twice have fun [17:02] MrObvious how do you do that tab thing? [17:02] b4l74z4r - yes - the top half of the bar kind of disapears - but comes back if you move the window a bit - wierd - presume its a bug to be sorted [17:02] do you use linux? [17:02] Epicenter713: URL to bios update? (ill look for a boot floppy or usb stick way.. [17:03] away [17:03] the only system, i have ever had, thati had 0 problems with was beos, otherwise with all the other systems i have had, i have had 1 problem with something or another, [17:03] elliotjhug: It's simply not true that Ubuntu breaks for a lot of reasons and that a lot of people come in here to tell us about it? You must be new here. :-) [17:03] CarlFK: i guess a 1ghz transmeta crusoe machine is too old to boot from usb [17:03] i hope they get the bugs out for the next release [17:04] if i compile a custom kernel do i need to also create an initrd? [17:04] b4l74z4r,amm... well it's normal,it's stream video ,quality not good at all [17:04] CarlFK: http://www.hitachi.co.jp/Prod/comp/OSD/pc/flora/download/snl_2007/tpc092001/rf1_208.html [17:04] Epicenter713: box have floppy? [17:04] moonsea, it doesn't happen in windows [17:04] RyanPrior: Not really - I assumed you were by your negative tone - I might have just taken it the wrong way - sorry for the preachyness [17:04] carlFK: No [17:04] It can't boot USB and has no CDROM [17:04] Pirate-King: Type mro and push tab. [17:05] anyway - I'll be afk for a bit [17:05] b4l74z4r,did u get adobe flash player version 9.0 in your firefox? [17:05] Pirate-King: If you type something and don't tab it's much harder for me to notice it. [17:05] MrObvious, ok [17:05] When I run Team Fortress 2 the sound refuses to work, and after the movie intro at the start ( guy with a valve in his head and the Valve Source splash screens ) the game closes itself. And sometimes the sound problem kils all the sound on my PC untill a relogg [17:05] Epicenter713: how did you install ubuntu on that? netboot? [17:06] MrObvious, : ok [17:06] moonsea, i use opera but i have flash 9 [17:06] Epicenter713: I can't read the language that page is in. but given your boot options, that doest matter right now. but there is hope for the boot option problem... just a sec [17:06] can you see that? [17:06] Pirate-King: Yeah.

How can i enable flash in firefox? [17:07] tz34781: yes. Removing the HDD is 15 screws [17:07] Pirate-King: If you want the colon and use XChat push Settings -> Preferences and then under Input Box under Nick Completion Suffix put it in there. [17:08] Epicenter713: so now you need to change the Driver line back [17:08] Pirate-King: What kind of video card do you have? [17:08] !checkinstall [17:08] checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!

I haven't used linux in ages [17:09] Pirate-King: I saw that but it's easier with tab completion. Are you using Gutsy? [17:09] I had debian back in the 'potato' days [17:09] MrObvious--> Yes [17:09] bulmer, i read that the flashplugin is broken [17:09] Hmm.

[17:10] MrObvious--> not sure let me check [17:10] danand: no, runlevel 3 still has X [17:10] brobostigon: it worked before - it went off randomly during a synaptic update [17:10] Pirate-King: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep nv What is the feedback of that command?

[17:11] hey guys, i have a problem. by acident i "removed" my panel at the bottom on my desktop. How do i re-enable it? [17:11] CarlFK: if you could [17:11] I would rather use the ubuntu flashplugin, i gues i will have to wait for it to be fixed [17:11] danand: i know how to edit grub boot options. Epicenter713 needs to know that. [17:11] tz34781 - can't remember run level exactly then - try google perhaps?? [17:11] !gnash [17:11] An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ [17:11] MrObvious--> nvidia it says [17:11] I might just say to hell with it, install XP again, and try that bios [17:12] From the windows-bound installer [17:12] How do I contact my dns server again? whats the command for that? thatll fix it [17:12] tz34781 - ooops - sorry :) [17:12] danand: there is no specific X-less runlevel in debian/ubuntu [17:12] DHCP server I mean, not dns [17:12] KenSentMe-> your choice.. [17:12] hey guys, i have a problem. by acident i "removed" my panel at the bottom on my desktop. How do i re-enable it? [17:12] Pirate-King: Ok so it's using NVidia drivers. We need to determine what version. Did you download them from NVidia's site or just let Ubuntu install them through the Restricted Driver's Manager? [17:12] danand: runlevels 2-5 all have X by default [17:12] Hitachi recommends using the ASUS winflash util with the BIOS. There's a floppy image too but hell if I know how I'd get it to boot on a machine with no floppy drive. [17:12] Gibb-> dhclient eth0 [17:12] Epicenter713: does that bios update page have a floppy image?

I'm on gutsy gibbon .. [17:13] bulmer: That worked. Thanks. I wonder how my resolv.conf lost its data?? [17:13] tz34781 - I was sure you could run without X by doing that - maybe I'm wrong - last time I done that I was running Debian [17:14] KenSentMe, there is a .deb available to run Adobe Flash.... [17:14] Epicenter713: can you give me the URL to the image? Ill stuff it on my test box - If I can get it to boot from grub, it should tell me "error, wrong biios" or something [17:14] ally_oxxo: You could always restart X (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace). But there is a command you can run. I need some time on Google to find it. [17:14] CarlFK: it's just an installer that extracts to a floppy drive [17:14] Gibb-> depends on how your dhclient is configured, if its allowed to modify resolv.conf or not [17:14] has anyone compared Google Desktop to Tracker to know which they prefer and why? [17:14] DG19075, thanks but i'm waiting for the fix [17:14] i have 3 hds and they are connected in a raid5.. but ubuntu asks me which hd i want to use... how can i tell ubuntu that i have raid5?

[17:15] i have 3 hds and they are connected in a raid5.. but ubuntu asks me which hd i want to use... how can i tell ubuntu that i have raid5? [17:15] this is strange, there was suddenly a bunch of addresses in my xchat ignore list that i haven't added myself [17:15] Epicenter713: ah. well, give me that then [17:15] ally_oxxo: Alt+F2 and then type gnome-panel and push Run.

So now when i minize programs i cant re-open them [17:15] in gnome-panel? [17:15] Gibb-> you didnt state the problem, what is the issue really? you're kind shotgunning things..

[17:18] Gibb-> you may want to try, but anyhow, i already advised, depends on how your dhclient is configured, modify resolv.conf or not! [17:18] bulmer: yeah it worked. I was just wondering why the resolv.conf broke [17:18] Jack_Sparrow do you how how to re-enable the bottom panel on Ubuntu's desktop? [17:18] bod_ - have you changed the scripts permission to executable ?? [17:19] Gibb-> once more, depends on how your dhclient is configured, modify resolv.conf or not! [17:19] ally_oxxo: Normally, I click on the upper panel and create a new one then drag it to the bottom [17:20] Boglizk: You have to change the association in your internet browser. [17:20] K_Nine: Oh, i did that. Thats easy, its a button. In GNOME its not anywhere. [17:21] danand, yes,. but usually scripts run on something,. like right clicking on a picture then using the script,. i just want it to run in terminal [17:21] right Jack_Sparrow but, my bottom panel is only for "active programs running" like aMSN, xchat, etc. But i removed it by mistake and now when i minimize programs i cant find where they went [17:21] any ideas Jack_Sparrow [17:21] whats the command for editing a text file in terminal?

If you have just a file, you can try right click and go to properties and maybe you can reset it there. [17:22] Pandab34R: nano is the easy one, vim is the advanced one.

I get it every second or so and it is choking up my log files. It *has* to be incorect, because I don't have an hda. what do i do? [17:22] ally_oxxo: also, alt-tab still works to switch active programs. [17:22] Pandab34R: sudo nano [17:22] ally_oxxo: but tha panel is better :D [17:22] Boglizk: There should be an open with choice. I think if you browse to the client of choice that makes a system change. [17:23] i need to edit my x11.conf file, what would work best? [17:23] K_Nine: Ill check it out.

I dont want to leave it on unconfigured [17:26] I'm looking for a way to setup some vncserver, in a manner that it replicates whatever is sent to the graphic card (for instance, why not even switching between all 6 consoles and the X output or messaging). Is it possible ? [17:26] Gibb: sudo ifdown [17:27] anyone know if there's a way with alsa to pipe my line in through pcm or something so that it plays out all my speakers instead of just the front?

My x resolituon is fine as is 3d. I am in hardy so this is a development problem there, but I would like a functioning console or 6. would the grub setting be over-ridden by the video drivers whan they load? Untill the video driver loads I can do ctrl-alt- [17:28] cool thanks [17:28] caravel i am not sure using vncserver, however if you can ssh in with -C -Y options and then start gnome-session & you have the full acces to consoles [17:28] Epicenter713: doh.. wrong slash... dam win infected my brain [17:28] WorkingOnWise: i don't know [17:28] i want to allow my kids to see a movie i a folder i have placed on their ubuntu 7.10 desktop, but deny the ability to move the file to the trash.

What I would like to obtain, is a simple window on my side, displaying their screen and allowing me to switch consoles as well, so that my "users" can see their screen switching live, etc. Is this "complete screen replication" it achievable ?

[18:29] Jack_Sparrow what is wrong with my bottom panel? [18:29] excuse me, due to a problem I have with skype, my webcam should be on /dev/video1 instead of /dev/video0. Because every time I reboot it comes back on /dev/video0, is there a way to forse it to stay on /dev/video1? Thanks a lot. [18:29] WGGMk, is it possibly that your wifi card no longer needs a "restricted driver" meaning that the driver is no longer restricted ? [18:30] sidelil, maybe there is a #skype where they would be familiar with this issue [18:30] Pelo: as of right now it is a fresh install of Gutsy amd64.. previously, (when my wireless card WORKED) it was a fresh install of Gutsy amd64 as well. the only differences in the installs were the first was a livecd with a regular partition scheme, and this time I installed the alternative CD using LVM [18:30] hi #ubuntu.. i'm trying to install desktop 64 on a p5b-vm with 4gb.. but it is very very slow with 4gb.. it runs fine with 2.8gb [18:30] Does anyone know if it is possible to show small .xbm images in Conky? If possible at all, how? I have tried $image but that didn't work. [18:30] hi guys I am a newbie. which directory are programs usually stored? e.g program in windos [18:30] WGGMk, this is realy over my head I'm affraid [18:30] Pelo: thank you for the reference page [18:30] sunseeker888, /usr/bin or /bin or /usr/local/bin, or.. but usually you wouldn't need to go there [18:30] sunseeker: the executables are usually in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin [18:31] Pelo, it's not a problem with skype any more, I fixed my problem with skype. The only thing I need now is forcing the webcam to be on /dev/video1 instead of /dev/video0 when I boot the computer. Is there a way to do it? [18:31] sunseeker888, try this command : dpkg --list-files to find out where a particular package stores its files [18:31] sunseeker888: axample /bin /sbin /usr/sbin /usr/bin those are all possibilities [18:31] sunseeker888, in linux progs are installed allover the place, libs in some folders, and executables in others, that way they can share the libs, exectutables are usualy found in /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin [18:31] hiya, how do i find out if a nic is working? [18:31] Does anyone know off the top of their head to list PCI hardware? for example, a wireless card? or would that be PCMIA? [18:32] WGGMK: lshw [18:32] sidelil, my point was that other skype user might have encounterd this problem and know how to solve it [18:32] BlackRec1: thank you [18:32] WGGMk, lspci [18:32] Im having some trouble with Team Fortress 2. There is no sound, and when I have steam running, sound doesnt run at all on my pc, AT ALL, and Team Fortress 2 closes after the opening credits, and that was after I changed the resolution size!

[18:33] sunseeker888, noting in linux gets automaticaly installed [18:33] so bcm43xx-fwcutter is in the repository? [18:33] yes [18:33] sunseeker888, download to your destop and run the file from there, it will get installed where it needs to go [18:33] sunseeker: depends on the app ur using to download and where it is set to save downloads [18:34] hi guys, does anyone know a bit about samba? [18:34] can anyone tell me why my ethernet pcmcia card won't connect to my network?

I want to keep everything in order, well , i created a download directory , like i used to do in windows, when tar it, it created a directory in my download folder [18:36] how do i setup a gateway? [18:36] WGGMk, resatring x might not be a bad idea [18:36] by default its /tmp for download, and from firefox, my save options is download folder [18:36] sunseeker888, this might be helpfull http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/ [18:37] sunseeker888-> so what were you expecting? [18:37] BlackRec1, try asking in #networking [18:37] ta [18:37] where does mysql store its data by default? [18:38] is it #networking or #ubuntu-networking [18:38] Hilikus, possibly /home/username/.mysql [18:38] Im having some trouble with Team Fortress 2. There is no sound, and when I have steam running, sound doesnt run at all on my pc, AT ALL, and Team Fortress 2 closes after the opening credits, and that was after I changed the resolution size!

I could tell you how to do it in irssi though ;) [18:50] Laney-> how? [18:50] Laney-> by command, i mean /command [18:50] kahrytan: I couldn't find it in X-chat but it works in Konveration.

[18:52] kahrytan, ah [18:52] manduski: runs nautilus as root [18:52] just found it [18:52] go to settings -> advanced -> text events [18:52] and remove the join / part lines [18:52] d3d if you use 64bit procs that 4gb limit moves to 8gigs ?

[18:53] ConstyXIV, at least with the program "hotkeys", yes [18:53] bulmer, 8 gigs? wrong [18:54] DASPRiD-> how much then? [18:54] bulmer, the limit is around 256 tb [18:54] sunseeker888: you will need 64bit for programs to access more than 4gb of ram [18:54] Anyone good with vmware server? I have moved a vm machine to a different directory and now it won't start..Help! [18:54] DRebellion, I can't even see my desktop folders when i do gksudo nautilus, which is where I'm mounting the remote filesystem (so i can't see anything) [18:55] DASPRiD-> which limitation are you referring to? [18:55] Laney, how can i mount it as my user? [18:55] sunseeker888, but beware: 32 bit means you can use (4 gb minus the your graphic cards memory) ram [18:55] DASPRiD-> cant be removed [18:55] manduski: Run the command `sshfs user@remotehose:/path/to/whatever /local/mountpoint' [18:55] so with 1 gb graphiccard memory you can use 3 gb [18:55] kahrytan, you can empty it [18:55] s/hose/host [18:55] manduski, you can see your Desktop when you do gksudo nautilus, navigate to /home/username/Desktop [18:55] Laney, ahh i'll try that [18:56] bulmer, the ram limit [18:56] how compatible is gnash with flash?

[18:56] Scunizi: VMWare sells technical support... Sorry, but that is closed-sourced software and not part of Ubuntu. [18:56] DASPRiD-> thats not what I was referring to d3d, the file size limit per process [18:56] hello [18:56] ouellettesr, gconf is an xml based registry (vomit I know), but there should be a configuration directory in your home directory [18:57] ok so gksudo works fine. I had to go back in filesystem>home>etc etc etc [18:57] thnx guys [18:57] dasprid thanks for that, i did not know about the graphic card mem is included in the 4 GB max for 32 bits [18:57] bulmer, ah ok, and sorry i lied, the memory limit is 17,179,869,184 gibibytes :) [18:57] can someone give me a bit of help configuring dlink wireless lan card?

[18:57] ConstyXIV: For what GNASH does, it is very compatible. It doesn't do everything Flash Player does, but it is a Free Software alternative to Flash Player. [18:58] I think the 9wm package is broken :| [18:58] Laney, yeah, i'm trying it now without the sudo in "sudo sshfs [18:58] manduski: That's the safest way to go [18:58] man tracker-services mentions a 'Conversations' service.

[19:35] Malik_: ext3 [19:35] marsmissions: but it's not like I reboot all the time or care much for a little unnecessary eyecandy, either [19:35] joanki: aptitude keeps track of dep better than apt-get ... newer version of Ubuntu are using safe-upgrade. that's all. both (apt-get and upgrade) works just fine, too. [19:35] ext3? [19:35] lufis: manually setting the resolution may work for you, i used startup manager to do so. [19:35] thx [19:35] Anyone here can help me with some graphic issues?

Im a complete newbie and my problem is that I installed ubuntu 7.10 as a dual boot with vista on a dell 9200. When I choose to boot gutsy it loads and I hear the intro drum beat then I get to a screen where I can use my mouse but what I see are a bunch of dotted lines. It's almost as if the driver for the video card arent correct; as if I am looking the desktop on hor [20:39] rible resolution settings. Please help, I have been at this for 2 days straight. THanks again. [20:39] BagelMaster: no idea then, sorry, i can only edvise based on my mac, i only have macs. [20:39] cheesypieces: ps aux | grep processname? [20:39] Arelis: hmm, sorry, I don't know then - which video is crashing? [20:40] Arelis: or is it just one of them? [20:40] popey, all of them. [20:40] (I made most of them by the way) [20:40] blbrown, i remember in 6.04 i do config at xorg.conf(worked peerfect), and since 7.04 i just install & it's ok ;} [20:40] Arelis: do the flash versions work? [20:40] popey, alright. Well, especially the video about watching video's [20:40] fella12: OK - what gfx card you you have in your laptop? [20:40] popey, i don't yet have flash. Flash is broken and ubotu doesn't give a solution anymore [20:40] its a desktop...nvidia geforce [20:41] !gnash | Arelis [20:41] Arelis: An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ [20:41] !flash [20:41] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash - The Flash package is currently BROKEN, see « /msg ubotu FlashIssues » [20:41] brobostigon: gnash is no good for this [20:41] popey, try messaging him FlashIssues [20:41] fella12: ok - desktop - makes it a bit easier :), What model card? [20:41] i have a mac, so my only option for flash is gnash [20:41] thanks starnestommy, how do i interpret the info that results? [20:41] Arelis: personally I just installed it from adobe.com [20:41] let me check [20:42] Arelis: it's a case of unpacking the tar.gz, then in a shell running sudo ./flashinstaller, then telling it to install to /usr/lib/firefox [20:42] Arelis: not optimal I know, but it works [20:42] in Section "screen", is the first mode, etc 1280x168@60 the current screen resolution? [20:42] Arelis: alternatively enable the -proposed repo and reinstall it [20:43] in xorg.conf [20:43] elliot: have to reboot to go into vista to check device manager [20:43] I thought the flash debs had been withdrawn from proposed due to further bugs? [20:43] blbrown, don't remember 6.04 was long ago.. [20:43] ok - don't wory then [20:43] I'll give you a command that will do it for you [20:44] 6.04 never happened - it was 6.06 ;) [20:44] radioman, wrong person [20:44] hey guys i need some help.

[20:48] popey, the weird thing is, the OGG video made my system freeze COMPLETELY. even the kernel, even sysrq. but it might be something else causing it [20:49] ouellettesr: It runs at the same res as the rest of gnome [20:49] it changed screen and now all i see are black and white boxes..with a cursor that i can hardly see [20:49] MrObvious--> you here [20:49] elliotjhug: it doesn't look right, everything it "tall" [20:49] fella12: OK - Type some characters - see if they come up [20:49] ouellettesr: And its not like that when you log in?

[20:52] protcront: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [20:52] popey, I have an ATI Radeon 9600 and it's using the open-source driver. Should i instead try the fglrx one? [20:53] Arelis: sorry, I have zero knowledge of ATI cards, I refuse to buy them [20:53] protcront: YOu simply install the second, or third desktop and switch between them at the login [20:53] protcront: The one thing to note is KUbuntu uses KDM for the login manager, but I think GDM is better so based on my opinion I would keep that. [20:53] elliot: what's weird is that upon laoding the ubuntu logo and the status bar look perfectly fine [20:54] MrObvious: when i run that command is it gonna install the latest version of kubuntu or the oldest [20:54] Arelis: fglrx will work if that is what you want to use [20:54] protcront: KUbuntu 7.10 [20:54] Why doesn't Steam appear properly in Wine? http://www.soep-r.nl/uploads/1202003277.png [20:54] protcront: You have Ubuntu 7.10 right?

Thanks for the help with some of those things.

[21:09] Hi, I'm developing a Qt application (for the first time). I have just changed my Ununtu theme through the Appearance but the Qt application's GUI doesn't change. I think that is because libqt4 is still loaded in RAM. Is there a way to unload libqt4 (or any other library) in RAM?

[21:12] peace: Update [21:12] I found this code for adding windows to grub, “XP Professional root (hd0,0)savedefault makeactive chainloader +1” that is for the windows on the first partition. Before I screw anything up I just wanted to make sure that my edit is right. “XP Professional root (hd0,3)savedefault makeactive chainloader +1” am I right or did I screw it up [21:12] Starnestommy: I'm sure it works if I reboot or log out. But I don't really want to do that [21:12] i did that [21:12] MrObvious : ok, it does work :) but, it keeps the whole line .. I just want it to keep the http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx adress.. not the html tags [21:12] not sure if it was accepted as i cant read anything [21:12] i'm having a bit of a problem. every once in a while (anywhere from 20 minutes to a few hours), my computer freezes and my caps lock and num lock lights start flashing. i end up having to force shutdown. anyone have any idea what could cause this? it's a laptop; could it be overheating or something? [21:12] guys, how do i edit a file as root from with the file manager? [21:13] aricz_: Ahh. Maybe play with man grep? [21:13] peace - use 'find . -iname "*SEARCHTERM*"' (without the single quotes) - This will search your current directory tree for all files that have SEARCHTERM somewhere in their name [21:13] !tab > peace also look at tab completion. I always start my games with tab completion from the command line [21:13] cheesypieces: gksudo gedit (in terminal) [21:13] MrObvious : will do, thanks for the help !

[21:15] !tab command doesnt work.. also i dont need to start the games.. i want to create them as i did in windows.. but i cant even find them.. any tutorial where to read how to use search.. [21:15] BD: The partition counting starts with 0 I think. [21:15] BD: hd(0,2)? [21:15] mrobvious: ok thanks [21:15] peace - use 'find . -iname "*SEARCHTERM*"' (without the single quotes) - This will search your current directory tree for all files that have SEARCHTERM somewhere in their name [21:15] starnestommy: thanks [21:15] again [21:15] fella12: OK - I assume no improvement yet - change to VT2, (ctrl+alt+f2) and see if that works, otherwise login blind and see if that works [21:15] bd [21:15] Ack he left [21:15] hmm, the ubuntu forums say it's a hardware issue for the same problem on feisty. can i assume the same applies to gutsy?

[21:17] peace: cd /path/to/game/folder then find . -iname .pk3 [21:18] fella12: I really hope this works - otherwise I have no idea, and you might be better off trying an alternative distro and see if that works [21:18] peace: locate pk3 [21:18] peace its probable in your home folder [21:18] i dont know where the game is.. i cant know where the game using search.. :D [21:18] peace what does locate pk3 say?

Lemme find it real fast. [21:19] hello [21:19] thx [21:19] !hi | kenalex [21:19] kenalex: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [21:19] what cd burning software can i use in ubuntu to write CD images [21:20] its build in [21:20] kenalex: I write click the isos, and there is an option there, personally [21:20] kenalex: nautilus has a pointer, just place the .iso in the cd directory and burn image [21:20] cool [21:20] that's 3 times the answer :) [21:20] thanks [21:20] backatcha: Look http://mirrors.acm.jhu.edu/isos/ubuntu/7.10/ <-It's on there.

[21:21] fella12: But unfortunately I can only apologise for it not working - File a bug about it on launchpad.net if you can and that means it may be fixed soon - and if you really want linux try SuSE or Fedora [21:21] dookdook: A quick crash course: sudo apt-get install apt-file to install it, then sudo apt-file update then sudo apt-file search (filename) will tell you what package it is in. [21:21] Is there a way to force flash drives to be bootable in ubuntu? [21:22] teach me how to use specific file but not filename... i also dont need to find all .jpg or all .mp3.. or all .pk3.. || example love .mp3 ? to find all mp3 with love word in it..

Im trying to boot a file which you would usually put to a floppy disk and tick the "make bootable" button while formatting.

Why do you need this file? I'm curious. [21:24] MrObvious: its a .bat I need to run to update my motherboard. [21:24] requinb5 it doesnt work.. its too hard for me :D [21:24] its def on the desktop of gutsy as the color in the dotted lines reflect the color scheme of the desktop wallpaper [21:24] Frostydecide: Oh a BIOS update? [21:25] Frostydecide: You could try using Google and putting in bootable USB drive [21:25] BagelMaster: looks like it may be a dhcp problem [21:25] BagelMaster: try setting a static ip address [21:25] are there any icon bars for gnome other than ones that need things like compiz? [21:25] Drebellion: How would I go about doing that? [21:25] fella12: yeah - its your graphics card you see - bulletproof-X which was introduced in this version was designed to stop this kinda thing happening [21:25] how can I program fkeys? [21:26] Howdy folks [21:26] mrobvious: Im only getting windows solutions. [21:26] someday i will learn how to use search... :D perhaps... thanks anyway :D [21:26] BagelMaster: system -> administration -> network [21:26] fella12: what exactly is your problem [21:26] i wonder if its bc this is a digital connection [21:26] peace - man find and man locate helps :P [21:26] BagelMaster: select your card (eth0?) and hit properties [21:26] should i try analogue [21:26] hey peace, what's up ? [21:26] Frostydecide: Hmm. Maybe you'll have to do something like that. :\ [21:27] what version of Xorg comes with 7.10? [21:27] Frostydecide: Can you burn an ISO or something? Try Google USB BIOS update [21:27] when i select gutsy from boot laoder it loads...i can move my mouse, but the screen shows a bunch of lines [21:27] i think it's a video card setting prob [21:27] anyway I'm off - best of luck fixing the problem fella12 and RequinB5 [21:27] fella12: vid card? [21:27] thanks bro...have a nice day [21:27] MrObvious: Im running into the same problem there. I can't work out how to force a disk to be bootable when i burn it in ubuntu [21:28] bc the color of the lines match the color scheme of the desktop wallpaper in gutsy...brownish [21:28] Frostydecide: I wish I knew what to do :(. [21:28] fella12: have you tried reconfigurign xserver? [21:28] Frostydecide, are you using K3B to make your iso's ? [21:28] MrObvious: are you buring it as an image (if its an iso) [21:28] MrObvious: burning* =p [21:28] fella12: if all you need is a bootable shell to fix it, might want to get a different live cd - I use Knoppix 5.2 boot options 'knoppix 2'. It boots on everything but a toyota [21:29] im a newbie...so im not sure how to....when i type ctrl alt f1....it goes to a command prompt but again, i cant read the text....can type but cant make out what it is [21:29] DRebellion: what should I input in the IP Address, Subnet mask, and Gateway address? [21:29] mkquist: I'm not, Frostydecide is. He needs to do a BIOS update and has a .bat that he needs to run to update his BIOS. I assume it's needing DOS or something. [21:29] RequinB5: i think theres a patch to get it to boot on toyotas now... =) [21:29] MrObvious: ic [21:29] BagelMaster: this is router specific. do you have any other machines connected to the router? [21:29] mkquist: ha [21:30] fella12: what have you tried so far [21:30] Frostydecide: Do you dual boot with Windows?

[21:30] which was? :P [21:30] DRebellion: yes [21:30] logging in and typing setfont -v alt-8x8 and press enter [21:30] that's the only suggestion given [21:30] BagelMaster: are they windows or mac or linux ? [21:30] can someone help me with this error 'Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".' [21:30] what is your vidcard? [21:30] MrObvious: I did... I just formatted my windows drive for the first time since getting this motherboard. So thats when the prob started. [21:30] Frostydecide: If you have a spare hard drive remove your current one, run a Windows install or something. :\ [21:30] DRebellion: mac [21:30] other than that...nothing as i am as newbie as it gets with linux [21:30] anyone know what version of xorg ubuntu 7.10 has?

[21:31] is there a configuration file that says what to do during specific Xevents? [21:32] Frostydecide: Lemme ask some people who visit another site who are overclockers and they might have an idea. [21:32] ouellettesr: 7.2 [21:32] fella12: one second [21:32] sure [21:32] BagelMaster: we need to know its ip address [21:32] mjw--: thanks [21:32] MrObvious: I need for *Ubuntu Studio* version... :) [21:33] try the official site [21:33] fella12: do you have ubuntu installed on your HDD or is it just hte live CD [21:33] ouellettesr: "1:7.2-5ubuntu13" to be exact [21:33] Frostydecide: Try http://www.planetamd64.com/index.php?showtopic=14488 [21:33] installed off the text/alt cd [21:33] non: Sorry.

Try booting, and when you get to the (maybe fast) screen about GRUB, boot in recovery mode. You may have to press escape quickly to access the menu [21:34] http://ubuntustudio.org/ [21:34] and the wobbly thing is also gone [21:34] does recovery mode take you to a command prompt at the end? [21:34] yes [21:34] ok [21:34] one sec [21:34] MrObvious : humm, I've 'man grep' and couldn't find anything .. do you know the answer? :] [21:35] BagelMaster: okay, so on the ubuntu box, for ip address you should put: 192.168.0.100 and subnet mask: 255.255.255.255 [21:35] MrObvious : do I have to learn perl for doing this easy task? [21:35] aricz_: Nope. That's as close as I got. I'm no bash scripter. Maybe #bash ? [21:35] MrObvious : okioki [21:35] BagelMaster: the gateway is the ip address of your router [21:35] PaulEU, if you open synaptic and search for language-support-pl you can add polish [21:35] aricz_: That's the best I can do. lol [21:35] ok i loaded it in recovery mode [21:36] hey i installed compiz fusion but it deosnt work, I cant open the settings manager [21:36] hey i installed compiz fusion but it deosnt work, I cant open the settings manager [21:36] and the wobbly thing is also gone [21:36] !repeat | BodOmLaW [21:36] hey quick question i have a amd 64 bit cpu do i have to install the 64 bit version or can i use the i386?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [21:36] DRebellion: Gateway address from whatismyip.com ? [21:36] didnt mean to spam [21:36] how come ubuntu's installer doesn't have an option to put / and /home on different partitions, like debian's does? Seems like it'd be a simple thing to leave in [21:36] fella12 - now type the following - dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [21:36] Javid, yes it does [21:36] backatcha: 386 is fine. 64 bit CPUs have 32 bit instructions on them too. [21:36] javid - u can, ive done it [21:36] Javid, choose manual partitioning then do it yourself. [21:37] BagelMaster: you can probably find that on your mac, try ping -b 255.255.255.255 and its last three digits will be quite high or quite low (eg 1,2,254,253) [21:37] ok awsome [21:37] thanks [21:37] I see my question was not understood [21:37] BagelMaster: it is the internal (LAN) ip address (not external like whatismyip.com) [21:37] BodOmLaw - try going to system preferences appearences and to the desktop effects tab. select custom [21:37] ok...im in there [21:37] fella12 - now follow the prompts [21:37] Javid, it doesn't automatically choose partition sizes... because it doesn't know what you will need. [21:37] mrobvious: have you ever ran vmware server and ran windows xp in it? [21:37] i try but it goes to extra [21:37] autdetect? [21:37] on linux of course [21:37] aricz_: grep -o is what you want [21:38] backatcha: Nope. [21:38] and i cant open the custom prefs [21:38] backatcha: I got an XP box I don't need VMware for. [21:38] i also cant open the compiz manager [21:38] i am wondering if it works ok [21:38] or should i select the x server myself? [21:38] !enter | BodOmLaW [21:38] BodOmLaW: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[21:38] lol [21:39] i just thought of it after i hit enter [21:39] BagelMaster: try without -b [21:39] BodOmLaw - are you sure you installed all the right packages? [21:39] Usually if you type whole sentences on your keyboard it helps you not do that. I mean with proper grammar. [21:39] according to this guide [21:39] basic question again but do you have any idea why my ubuntu box comes up on the mshome domain even though i've set it to use workgroup? [21:39] I have Tracker running on my FC8 server, and it has a spotlight-like search tool in the system tray, not like deskbar which is on the panel. Does anyone know how I could get this in Ubuntu as well? [21:39] BagelMaster: I think it's ping -b then enter the IP address. I forget though. [21:39] DRebellion: G5:~ jordan$ ping 255.255.255.255 [21:39] PING 255.255.255.255 (255.255.255.255): 56 data bytes [21:39] BodOmLaW: set your irc client to ignore empty lines [21:39] does the new version of ubuntu come with kde 4.0? [21:39] http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/10/04/compiz-fusion-on-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbin/ [21:40] hi guys is there something like task manager on ubuntu? [21:40] backatcha: i think Kubuntu comes with KDE on it...you should check the sight for which packages are installed [21:40] sunseeker888_: man ps [21:40] Is there something similiar to amarok but for gnome? [21:40] its asking for video card's bus identifier [21:40] sunseeker888_: Alt+F2 then type.... [21:40] BagelMaster: did you get any replies? otherwise just kill it (ctrl+c) [21:40] oh so ubuntu comes with gnome only? [21:40] how do i do that? [21:40] sunseeker888_: Lemme look... [21:40] sunseeker888_: or...gnome-system-manager [21:41] backatcha: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop for KDE. [21:41] gmcastil: Yeah that. Thanks. [21:41] backatcha, Ubuntu is the gnome version, Kubuntu is the KDE version [21:41] fella12 - did you read the stuff that came before it? a lot of the prompts can be left blank [21:41] sunseeker888, try man cron in a terminal [21:41] DRebellion: No. [21:41] sunseeker888_: Yeha what gmcastil said. [21:41] oh ok [21:41] backatcha, although they can co-exist, by doing apt-get install, like MrObvious said [21:41] sunseeker888_: gnome-system-monitor is probably what you're looking for, but if you want a CLI version, ps is the dealio [21:41] gmcastil i cant find any ignore empty lines setting [21:41] BagelMaster: damn. that only works on linux. what brand router do you have? [21:42] BodOmLaW: not all IRC clients support it....go get emacs :) [21:42] ere4si: That won't work. That's for scheduled tasks, not viewing resource allocation. [21:42] ok thanks guys [21:42] gmcastil: Or top ;) [21:42] fine [21:42] MrObvious: top is pretty limited [21:42] For resource allocation: gnome-system-monitor [21:42] DRebellion: I'm at my friends house, it's an older Motorola [21:42] sorry guys I am a newbie, how do i get to gnone-system manager? do i need do download it [21:42] Alt-F2, gnome-system-monitor is what you want. [21:42] what file would I look for to see my sound output settings? [21:42] gmcastil: Yeah but it works pretty good IMO. [21:42] someone please tell me why ubuntu tells me access denied when i try to su, and yet, if I do sudo using the same password, it works!!! [21:42] sunseeker888_: Alt+F2 is the run dialog. [21:42] BlackRec1, because su is disbled. [21:42] *su is disabled. [21:42] BagelMaster: you could try 192.168.1.254 [21:42] sunseeker888_: Applications > System > System Monitor [21:43] Is there something similiar to amarok but for gnome? [21:43] sunseaker888_ : system - administration [21:43] BagelMaster: try and ping 192.168.1.254 [21:43] The root account is actually turned off. [21:43] MrObvious, it's been a few years - was thinking of scheduled tasks? [21:43] mohbana: Banshee, Rhythmbox, Exaile, Muine, etc. [21:43] once it takes me back to the prompt what do i type? restart? [21:43] Banshee's my personal favorite, but if you don't like Mono stuff, go for Rhythmbox. [21:43] duh!! no i feel like a right noob!!! so how do i enable su? [21:43] ere4si: You said man cron, that's for setting up a scheduled task (reading how to rather). [21:43] fella12 yes [21:43] MrObvious: what are you trying to do? [21:44] BodOmLaw - http://www.howtoforge.com/compiz-fusion-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon-ati-mobility-radeon-9200 [21:44] DRebellion: Nothing [21:44] BlackRec1: sudo -s then change the root password, but it's not recommended to enable the root account. [21:44] Picures make you not mess up as much [21:44] Is there a File I can open to see my sound settings? [21:44] BagelMaster: .253 ? [21:44] You can just use sudo -s if you need root for extended periods of time. [21:44] I dont have an ati [21:44] !root | BlackRec1 [21:44] BlackRec1: 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 [21:44] I know [21:44] ere4si: sunseeker888_ wanted a Task Manager type program, not setting up scheduled tasks through cron. [21:44] its the same process [21:44] k [21:44] gmcastil: Nothing. I'm clarifying something. :) [21:44] is it sndconfig [21:44] BlackRec1: or, if want, just go sudo -i, then passwd [21:45] where can i find the errors happened during a dist-upgrade ? [21:45] MrObvious, had remembered wrongly the windows name for things... [21:45] sudo -i does nothing [21:45] SeveredCross, gmcastil: do not recommend setting a root password. Inform new users of sudo by linking them to the wiki page [21:45] RequinB5: cant fella just restart xserver? [21:45] cypher1: /var/log/dpkg.log [21:45] ere4si: It's ok. :) [21:45] BlackRec1: please read the wiki page ubotu linked you to [21:45] I didn't recommend it, I said that it can be done, but it shouldn't... [21:45] i am getting something now...it says it's running low graphic mode [21:45] DRebellion, thanks let me check it out [21:45] Did you read what I said at all> [21:45] jrib: i'm explaining how to do it, if you want to [21:45] mkquist - he's in recovery mode [21:45] DRebellion: Nothing for .253 When I did .254, Little Snitch came up to inform me that I was pinging it [21:45] BlackRec1: sudo -s then change the root password, but it's not recommended to enable the root account. [21:45] fella12 - ok, customize and boot with VESA drivers [21:45] RequinB5: oh, nm [21:45] hmmm is there not a Kubuntu cd version on torrent? [21:45] Note, NOT RECOMMENDED. [21:45] jrib: i'm assuming that people aren't dumb enough to run an X session as root [21:45] hi fellow ubuntians, does anyone know of a program that will burn an avi movie to a dvd to play in a dvd player? [21:45] BagelMaster: "Little Snitch"??? [21:45] vesa drives? [21:46] Why does Ubuntu use sudo not su? [21:46] fella12 - should be a customize option? [21:46] chrissny: Try K3B. [21:46] gmcastil: I ran mine as root before :) [21:46] !burning | chrissny [21:46] chrissny: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [21:46] Inferior^: it's not wise [21:46] SeveredCross, please don't explain how to do that at all unless they understand it. [21:46] chrissny: I'm not sure if it does it or not but it should work ok. [21:46] Drebellion: It's an application that notifies you of outgoing packets and connections [21:46] gmcastil: I know :P [21:46] fella12 - then browse drivers by name, maybe second tab i think [21:46] SeveredCross: k, I'm just asking that in the future you inform them about sudo instead [21:46] BagelMaster: and it didn't do it for 253? [21:46] anybody know? [21:46] oh i think u did it! [21:46] For the love of God, I did. I don't know why I even try. [21:47] Thanks, I'll take a look at the program [21:47] Thanks lads [21:47] gmcastil: I was sick of not being able to do anything without being root =/ [21:47] MrObvious: i think that its because the developers are afraid that users will just log in and run everything as root - it's a courtesy to windows transplants [21:47] Drebellion: It did. [21:47] any more recommendations to a amarok replacement? [21:47] fella12 - not done yet, you don't want 800x600 and 2D accelleration the rest of your life [21:47] gmcastil: Oh that makes sense. [21:47] youre right [21:47] Inferior^: yeah, i'm an old redhat guy, so i'm used to it, too - i typically sudo -i if i need to work as root [21:47] lol [21:47] BagelMaster: does your router have a web interface? [21:47] jrib: Any other reasons besides what gmcastil said for sudo > su in Ubuntu? [21:47] mohbana: rythmbox? [21:47] so now what do i do? [21:48] fella12 - ok, so go to system - admin - restricted devices manager [21:48] MrObvious: i'm pretty sure thats the major reason [21:48] can some one please explain to me the difference between User, Shared, Buffer, and Cache memory? [21:48] and i have a dual monitor system too [21:48] hey, why is "root" removed from Ubuntu, and can you add root to Ubuntu? [21:48] does anybody know how to, from the terminal, check to see if a process is running, if it is not, start it, if it is, kill it? I was thinking there might be a way to do it using something like "ps -A | grep 'application'", but I'm not sure how to work with the output [21:48] ally_oxooxo: use sudo [21:48] !root [21:48] 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 [21:48] i have a lot of problems with a upgrade to gutsy [21:48] !root | ally_oxooxo [21:48] ally_oxooxo: please see above [21:48] DRebellion: Yes, it does. [21:48] BagelMaster: what do you type in your browser to get to it? [21:48] is there anywhere i can read about the common problems ? [21:48] fella12 - anything there? [21:48] ok im in [21:48] DRebellion: http://192.168.0.1 [21:49] there is a driver option: nvidia accelerated graphics driver [21:49] ally_oxooxo: this is widely discussed in the forums [21:49] fella12 - that's what you want [21:49] BagelMaster: then 192.168.0.1 is your gateway! [21:49] ok its downloading [21:49] fella12 - if you're lucky it'll work out of the box... ty checking it [21:49] MrObvious: sudo is more flexible and not having a root account means you would need to guess a username and a password to break into a system, not just the password for root [21:49] DRebellion: Oh! Cool. [21:49] Hi! I'm trying to run the LiveCD on a friends HP DV6000 but it wont boot. It stops at the wireless ""bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" not available or load failed". Tried ctrl+c but it's stuck. What do I do? [21:49] * BagelMaster feels dumb now :/ [21:49] but doesn't other linux distros i.e gentoo/debian use root? [21:49] changes being applied [21:50] ally_oxooxo: root exists...it just doesn't have a password [21:50] how do i make the dual monitor run? right now i jsut have the same image on both monitors [21:50] !offtopic | The merits of falasies of root shouldn't be here [21:50] any thoughts on how to in a shell script search a variable to see if it contains a string, and if it does, execute a command? [21:50] so i have this wi-fi card my parts vendor gave me in compesnation for some bad parts i got from him, its an Wireless PCI Adapter RT2400 / RT2460 and i was wondering if it will work in linux[i would love to drop my glorified dial up connection] [21:50] jrib: of course...users are typically worse at setting passwords than admins :) [21:50] The merits of falasies of root shouldn't be here: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [21:50] DRebellion: Still have no connectivity [21:50] hey guys [21:50] kevin_: reg exp [21:50] fella12 - one thing at at time :P. Now restart [21:51] BagelMaster: hrm [21:51] lol RequinB5 [21:51] ok im restarting give me a min please...thanks soooooo much by the way [21:51] np [21:51] gmcastil: what would I actually invoke to search the variable for the reg exp? [21:51] BagelMaster: what strength encryption is the wep key? 64bit or 128bit... ? [21:51] DRebellion: Network Settings has "Wireless Connection" and "Modem Connection" but my actual card isn't listed by name [21:51] fella12 - it took me 3 months to figure this out on my own [21:52] DRebellion: No encryption, relatively rural area [21:52] fella12 - and I had to manually get the drivers... yuck [21:52] for whatever reason, i thought installing proprietary ATI drivers would be a good idea, now my compiz-fusion runs like crap. Ive tried to remove the driver and reinstall the fglrx that comes with linux restricted modules, but i just cant seem to get things the way they were when i first installed compiz fusion. any suggestions? [21:52] so is there a list of PCI wifi cards that will work in ubuntu? [21:52] kevin_: there are a lot of faqs and tutorials on the internet for using regular expressions - if you've never used them before, I'd suggest reading some of those. regular expresssions are widely used and somewhat complicated - they're ubiquitous in the non-windows world [21:52] !hcl | bluefoxx [21:52] bluefoxx: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [21:52] gmcastil: fair enough. I'll look one up. Thanks! [21:53] DRebellion: you could try googling for an answer....WEP is 64-bit [21:53] gmcastil: not nessecarily [21:53] kevin_: i'll get you a link ... once sec [21:53] BagelMaster: i'm out of ideas :/ === [1]akhilesh is now known as akhilesh [21:54] kevin_: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [21:54] gmcastil: thanks man! [21:54] The authentication automatically expires after a short time (which can be set to as little as desired or 0); so if you walk away from the terminal after running commands as root using sudo, you will not be leaving a root terminal open indefinitely. [21:54] how can i set it to "0" ? [21:54] can someone help with 3d with my card - sis real256e [21:54] gmcastil: I think it's actually 40 bit. [21:54] how do i see what stuff i currently have mounted and where? [21:54] MrObvious: the key is 40bit [21:54] DRebellion: do you ever sleep? [21:54] ozzloy: df [21:54] nemilar: of course [21:55] DRebellion: Besides WEP shouldn't be used as it can be cracked in 1 minute, but WPA takes much longer to crack. [21:55] DRebellion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wired_Equivalent_Privacy seems to indicate its 64 bit [21:55] gmcastil: Oh that's right. [21:55] <-full of brain farts today [21:55] gmcastil: you can get 128bit extensions. i can back it up as so does my router. [21:55] MrObvious: have _you_ ever cracked WEP?? [21:55] DRebellion: i assumed you were referring to the standard WEP [21:55] gmcastil: bah, excuses :P [21:56] DRebellion: Why? I have no need to. [21:56] When booting the CD it freezes at the wireless (bcm43xx, no driver). [Ctrl]+C doesn't work. Any other suggestions? [21:56] just restarted [21:56] it seems like my wifi card is working just like that, going by the ethernet applet in my notification area, but i cant see any networks as i have no antenna for it, is there a way i can make one? [21:56] fella12: and? [21:56] I installed Linux to a second HDD. It installed GRUB to that drive, so I changed the boot order in BIOS. I added Windows to the GRUB menu, and when I select it, it shows a black screen that says "Starting up...". Does anyone know how I might fix this? [21:56] DRebellion: thanks [21:57] how do i enable root account for Ubuntu? [21:57] DRebellion: I already know it's breakable quick and have been told since I've learned about it not to use it from multiple people. Even security experts say that. [21:57] it still just changes back to extra, i cant open the compiz-settings-manager, and i have no "advanced desktop effects settings" [21:57] weird, nownot sure...it looks clear...the accelerated graphics appears in use according the admin window [21:57] !wep [21:57] WEP is totally insecure, don't use it, the full Wireless Documentation for Ubuntu can be found at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [21:57] mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2 /mnt # mount: /dev/sda2 already mounted or /mnt/ busy [21:57] but now only one monitir is on...the other does not appear to be showing anything [21:57] fella12 - thats great [21:57] how do i fix that? [21:58] mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2 /mnt # mount: /dev/sda2 already mounted or /mnt/ busy [21:58] hello [21:58] df doesn't report /dev/sda2 being mounted [21:58] fella12 - one second [21:58] sure [21:58] MrObvious: yes, i know... what is WPA support like in linux anyway? i've never tried it (after the horrors of trying to get wireless to work with *no* encryption :O ) [21:58] DRebellion: I use WPA fine. [21:58] and i tried mounting to a brand new folder [21:59] How do I remove mplayer which I compiled and installed? [21:59] MrObvious--> how do you move things in top task bar? [21:59] hi [21:59] it is problmatic [21:59] how can i install a 64bit-system with the alternative installcd? [21:59] Pirate-King: Right click and push move.

List files installed to your system from package-name" is fairly descriptive. [22:37] Lokii-: yeah, i've found that one one [22:37] If this is the incorrect place to ask, I apologize.

I want to download recordings of current weather reports [22:38] um.. i've compiled hostap with make install.. but my system is still using the old version 0.5.5 .. how do i make it use the new version i've just compiled? [22:38] dolphin_noel: nope, but you obviously are [22:38] is it save to install that? [22:38] kestir: then ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [22:38] gmcastil: yes. Feel free to file a bug and attach a patch to rectify the purported ambiguity. [22:38] astro76: i did it, and the desktop still black color and i cant do right click with mouse [22:38] thats what Im trying astro. [22:38] crimsun: at this point, i'm pretty frustrated with the whole apt system...sorry for whining [22:39] jrib: "thanks" [22:39] what is imwheel? [22:39] DiceyDaysx so go learn english to understand what i say [22:39] gmcastil: I presume you've discovered by now that `dpkg -l` will return which binary packages are installed? [22:39] #chile [22:39] Zelda: lets you bind actions to your mouse buttons [22:39] dolphin_noel: sure mate [22:39] kodge, ask in #winehq [22:39] oh [22:39] e-loro, try /j #chile [22:39] JovI: i have, that room is more or less dead, the only activity it gets is people leaving [22:40] hello, i just installed ubuntu, anyone know a good virus scanner? [22:40] crimsun: i think so...i'm starting to think that dpkg is the correct way to interact with the apt db, rather than apt-cache [22:40] Zelda: tthat's what will let you make the actions for the 6th and 7th buttons, like forward/back in firefox [22:40] !virus | h6e4 [22:40] h6e4: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [22:40] crimsun: that sound right? [22:40] can anyone recommend a good fxp client preferably for a GTK based environment [22:40] Freddy_: did you really mean "fxp"? [22:40] heh [22:40] gmcastil: depends on the goal, I think. apt-cache exposes "meta", like dependencies and such between packages (handled by dpkg). [22:41] um.. i've compiled hostap with make install.. but my system is still using the old version 0.5.5 .. how do i make it use the new version i've just compiled? [22:41] gmcastil: an analogy could be yum vice rpm. [22:41] Zelda: so you would make the specified change to /etc/X11/imwheel/startup.conf to make it startup, then i'll give you the additions to my /etc/X11/imwheel/imwheelrc since I use the same mouse as you [22:41] kodge, wine issues are quite tough to troubleshoot. especially when the game starts without errors and then crashes. #winehq is your best bet. [22:41] astro76: do u have any solution? [22:41] crimsun: yeah...exactly what i'd been thinking [22:41] ok, so now I just copied and pasted the example, and it still isnt working [22:41] is anyone in here expierenced with calibrating touchscreens? [22:41] scguy318: wb :) [22:41] Hi, can someone walk me through setting up a wireless network? I have been having issues with it for the past 3 hours... === ubuntu is now known as hpstg [22:42] BagelMaster: including the AP? [22:42] I have a problem [22:42] #sex [22:42] gmcastil, there are many ways to talk with the db, try apt-cache policy PackageName for interesting results it is just like driving a car, where you move from petrol to diesel, from manual to automatic, and change the side you drive at all at the same time, you know you can get from a to b but you have to take a few steps to get to familiar with this almost the same env [22:42] Zelda: add this to the end of your /etc/X11/imwheel/imwheelrc http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54543/ [22:42] crimsun: what is the AP? [22:42] Zelda: also it would help to specify what isn't working [22:42] BagelMaster: the wireless Access Point (AP). [22:43] How do i use a .fon font in the Gnome-Terminal? (Or alternatively, whats a good font-converter?) [22:43] I just installed gutsy i386, performed all the updates, and after restarting I get a blank gnome screen just after logging in [22:43] the buttons on the leftside by the thumbs. [22:43] crimsun: the router? no, it is working fine on another computer [22:43] crimsun: it is running mac os x though [22:43] Boglizk: drop it into ~/.fonts/, run `sudo fc-cache -f -v` in a terminal, then close and reopen whichever font selector. [22:43] anyone else has this or it's only me? [22:43] Zelda: right, that's what the imwheel config I just gave you will do [22:44] Boglizk: so the question is about configuring wireless on your Ubuntu install? Which Ubuntu release? [22:44] fresh install --> update (no drivers etc) --> restart --> login --> blank screen and the disk works like crazy [22:44] Zelda: after you add that, restart the x server with ctrl-alt-backspace, be sure to save your work first [22:45] hey folks I'd like to report a bug...what is the best whay to do this? public mail list, launchpad or on ubuntuforums? [22:45] crimsun: dpkg -l is a lot better than what i was doing...i was doing apt-cache pkgnames [22:45] ok. [22:45] Rodolfo: I would guess launchpad [22:45] yes, very much using Launchpad. [22:45] hpstg: the devel team listen to lauchpad as well? [22:46] !bugs | Rodolfo [22:46] Rodolfo: 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 [22:46] Rodolfo: To launchpad mainly, I think [22:46] I just installed gutsy i386, performed all the updates, and after restarting I get a blank gnome screen just after logging in [22:46] sorry astro where do I put that? [22:46] fresh install --> update (no drivers etc) --> restart --> login --> blank screen and the disk works like crazy [22:46] crimsun: any advice? [22:46] Zelda: the paste? [22:47] yea [22:47] hpstg, astro76: thanks [22:47] Zelda: at the end of /etc/X11/imwheel/imwheelrc [22:47] Rodolfo, nothing [22:47] I've tried running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but I can't make my monitor use its recommended resolution (1280x720). What can I do? [22:48] BagelMaster: well, we need more information (unless you've provided it already, in which case: have you pastebinned it?) [22:48] pabl6, It depends on your graphics card [22:48] crimsun: iwconfig info? [22:48] BagelMaster: and dmesg, too. [22:48] ifconfig* [22:49] k, no problem === hoarycri2ple is now known as hoarycripple [22:49] I just installed unbuntu last night, I had sound until i restarted now the sound card is there but ther eis phsyically no sound.

Ill brb [22:50] hello, does anybody know a web page which has the cache of a lot of web pages? NOT google cache, i need more older cache [22:50] crimsun: just said SB [22:50] Yodude: append the driver to the blacklist, or disable it in bios, etc. [22:50] pabl6, you need to install the nvidia drivers package [22:50] I'm not sure whats going on if I connect it via ethernet my windows pc doesn't recognize a connection.... [22:50] GERD_MD: ok, and `lspci -nv|grep -A1 040[13]`? [22:50] hpstg: Via Synaptic? Which ones is the package? [22:50] crimsun: "00:14.2 0403: 1002:437b (rev 01) [22:50] Subsystem: 107b:0318" [22:51] pabl6, have you used the restricted drivers manager? Is your card listed there? [22:51] crimsun: I tried what you told me (the font thing), but it doesn't work. I have the font in both .pcf and .fon-format, neither shows up. [22:51] peanutwithchocol, not that it has anything to do with ubuntu, but archive.org can help [22:51] peanutwithchocol, or was it some waybackmachine.com... [22:52] GERD_MD: you need a newer version of ALSA (alsa-driver 1.0.16rc2). See http://www.alsa-project.org, in the right column. [22:52] hi everyone, im a newbie to ubuntu. was trying to install some plugins and skins in aMsn. there were two folders on the pc, one was in shared and the other in home. i put them in home and they didnt show up. when i tried putting them in the folder in shared, it said i did not have permissions. anybody know why this might be? [22:52] can you recommend a converter application for videos file -> the h264 format in linux? [22:52] hpstg: Now I'm using it. It's installing something. [22:52] Boglizk: that's for TrueType format. [22:52] Crimsun: thanks a lot. Ill try it. [22:52] SexyJames1337: You do not have permission, you have to be root. [22:52] hpstg: nvida-glx-new [22:52] pabl6, it would probably say something about a 3d accelerator [22:52] crimsun: So.. is there any solution? [22:53] pabl6, excellent [22:53] hpstg: Yes it does. [22:53] Boglizk: ok, i dont know much of what im doing. how would i do that? [22:53] ploom: ok, thank you very much, i could't find an ubuntu old tutorial but now i found it [22:53] Boglizk: do you have the font in TT format? [22:53] hpstg: What should I do after? [22:53] am I able to convert files to h264 with ffmpeg? === akent_ is now known as akent [22:53] pabl6, When it finishes installing, it will ask you to restart [22:53] crimsun: No, i have it in .fon and .pcf. It wasn't available in ttf. [22:54] ok astro that worked. Problem is, the wheel mouse is back and forth, and the buttons scroll down and up [22:54] hpstg: Okay. [22:54] i've installed the JRE on 7.10, but Openoffice still doesn't see it - is there a way to correct this? [22:54] crimsun: how can i append it to the blacklist ? [22:54] crimsun: ifconfig: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54550/ dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54549/ [22:55] pabl6, It will probably be alright after restarting, since (in theory) the nvidia driver will be able to detect the correct resolution of your monitor, instead of the wrong one that the vesa driver detects now [22:55] can it be that the tracker search function is not working properly? [22:55] um.. i've compiled hostap with make install.. but my system is still using the old version 0.5.5 .. how do i make it use the new version i've just compiled? [22:55] pabl6, And you will probably be able to use compiz-fusion too ;-) [22:55] hpstg: I thought those drivers were for 3d acceleration only. [22:55] hpstg: That's cool :) [22:55] how can I load modules for my ethernet adapter ? [22:55] astro: did you get that? [22:56] .. [22:56] pabl6, not only, the 2d part is very important because it gives you correct aspect ratio and resolution detection, and also accelerates video playback. So its better anyway ;-) [22:56] !uset autoinvite 1 [22:57] hever_: add the module name to /etc/modules [22:57] if I want to record a mp3 stream from the internet whats the easist way to do it? [22:57] hpstg: Okay. Time to restart. Will tell you later how it was. [22:57] heartsblood: use streamripper [22:58] Does anyone know of a program that will make norton ghost style restore dvds/cds? [22:58] gmcastil: I thought that was a winamp plugin [22:58] pabl6, do it a bit fast though, because I need to restart too in a minute ;-) [22:58] Shuggle, try mondo and mindi [22:58] brobostigon: And how can I find out which module it is ? lspci gives me ethernet: Apple Computer Inc.

[23:00] BagelMaster: sec === gopherdo1 is now known as gopherdoc [23:00] crimsun: thank you [23:00] Hello, does anyone know what's happened to gnome-look.org? i haven't been able to get to it for over a day now. [23:00] gmcastil: OS? you mean multiplatform? [23:00] Can you mount 2 drives in the same directory? [23:00] blue42: down for me too [23:01] heartsblood: open source [23:01] brobostigon: ;) I've plugged in the cable but my windows pc doesn't recognise a connection. I use also gutsy. But I'm still on the live cd installer. Now at the end of installation it want do update packages... [23:01] ah [23:01] mkquist: probably only slightly, assuming it were on a separate controller - but, having more than one is probably more important [23:01] bobbo: yes but you will only see the files of the last mount [23:01] blue42: its just down, network problems i guess [23:01] blue42, yer, its down for me [23:01] blue42: same for me [23:01] mjw: wonder what's happened [23:01] gmcastil: more than one swap? first time for that one... [23:01] mkquist: i require 8gigs of swap space, so i have 4 2 gig swap files [23:01] blue42: all the *-looks are down. I cant get an new openbox theme [23:01] hi,i have a problem in installing ubnutu when i install it and i reached the partitions operation i don't see any partitions even the ext3 i see this word dev\sda\ [23:01] hever_: what do you mean, you have connected the internal ethernet to a hub,and it wont connect?? [23:02] i have two drives, one for OS (dualboot), one for data. how can i set the data drive (ntfs) to mount during startup? [23:02] erUSUL: thanks for that one [23:02] brobostigon: And in the upper right corner it doesnt show that a cable is in... [23:02] how much partition space would be sensible to give / ? [23:02] mkquist: if you put it on another hard drive that was attached to another controller, you'd probably see some increase in performance assuming you were doing something that interacted heavily with the swap file [23:02] brobostigon: Its a peer to peer connection. And the cable must be ok. [23:02] hever_: what does ifconfig say, deos it show you have an IP etc [23:03] hey guys is there a command to show all mounted volumes? [23:03] hever_: whats a p2p connection on ethernet, never seen it before?? [23:03] TrickFinlay2: mount [23:03] anyone been able to get Openoffice to recognize the JRE?

This is a result of installing dpsyco (by accident) and then removing. how do I get rid of this error? [23:04] panfist: man page will tell you how [23:04] gmcastil: ic just a thought, its an older machine so i was just trying to see if i could squeeze a bit more out of it... [23:04] panfist: service is a windows word [23:04] gmcastil well....when i do "man mysql" it says its undocumented [23:04] hever_: no idea about that, never tried, i recommend a hub t the like inbetween, no direct, [23:04] panfist: ??? [23:04] would apt-get install dpsyco && apt-get purge dpsyco' fix it? [23:04] panfist: what are you trying to do?

I understand that i need that particular driver to enable "monitor mode" [23:05] panfist: service stop (i thnk) [23:05] erUSUL: thanks! [23:05] mroc: no problem ;) [23:06] jimcooncat: I used this package...worked great: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10761023/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_i386.deb [23:06] anyone have any recommendations for good gnome feed readers?

[23:06] guys,. what program can open .so fies? eg usplash files? [23:06] bod_: .so files are libraries [23:06] LiENUS use file-roller [23:06] thanks mjw-- [23:06] th0r, ?

[23:07] hever_: if it is a crossover cable between the computers static configuration is easier imho [23:07] hever_: i will have a look on minute [23:07] ipw3495 drivers? [23:07] anyone? [23:07] bod_: software libraries....they aren't image files [23:07] LiENUS I install xfce on servers...can still run things like file-roller [23:07] LiENUS: Linux assumes you know what you're doing. Why would it prompt you? [23:07] I just tried to install the new ALSA files and its still not working its very possible im doing something wrong. [23:08] gmcastil, so where are the images for usplash's? [23:08] I noticed that the version of Wine in the available applications is quite a bit out of date compared to what's on the site. Infact the DB on the site to report success/failure doesn't even support this version anymore. Is there a "non-supported" update via a debian package for Ubuntu with the latest version of Wine or maybe I should just compile Wine myself and everything will work fine from there? [23:08] bod_: no idea what you're talking about [23:08] erUSUL: it works with my other windows machine. But windos still doesn't recognize that there is a new computer or network adapter if i plug it in my iBook. [23:08] <__mikem> Flannel, I need help. I am trying to dual boot this machine, and everytime I try to have the thing resize my windows partition I get the error An error occurred while writing the changes to the storage devices. [23:08] bod_: a *,so file is shared object prodeuced by a compiler... you can open them with an hexeditor or gdb if you are a proficient programer or maybe try to dissasemble it [23:08] erUSUL: don't confuse him [23:08] hi [23:08] erUSUL, ok,. ty i think il pass [23:08] and fileroller sure as hell wont help me restore the 5.4 gb of data i just lost [23:09] i did type a command and now when i open a terminal window i get this message on line after line "bash: /dev/null: Permission denied" [23:09] hever_: i dont have a module loaded for the internal ethernet, it works auto for me, [23:09] brobostigon: perhaps its switched of in a bios like thing. I think it has no power and I must switch it on or activate a module... But windows should recognize it without loading a module if it has power. [23:09] LiENUS nope...neither will windows [23:09] gmcastil, when you power on/off your machine you see a picture and a loading/unloading bar,. i want to see that artwork? [23:09] hmmm [23:09] pleeeeeeeease help me :(( [23:09] bod_: i have all that crap disabled, sorry [23:09] !usplash | bod_ [23:09] bod_: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [23:09] th0r, are you smoking something? [23:09] what the hell are you talking about? [23:09] gmcastil, ok ty [23:09] <__mikem> Okay seriously, there isn't ONE person in here who knows how to use this POS partitioner [23:09] does anybody have their W810 working with infrared on gutsy? [23:09] murdering a chinaman wont help me recover my data either [23:10] Can I abort the install ? I can't stop it because it's going to update the package list and I have no INET connection and there is no abort button.... [23:10] just as relevant as what you said [23:10] __mikem: what partitionre are you tlaking about? [23:10] please help me [23:10] <__mikem> gmcastil: the one that ubuntu uses to install by default [23:10] Any one? some help with ALSA [23:10] LiENUS you are right that file-roller won't restore your lost data...I don't know of anything that will make up for mistakes [23:10] erUSUL, thankyou,.,. but i no how to change the usplash and i no that link is not for gutsy anfd does not work for gutsy,.,.any ideas? [23:10] borncrazy: don't do that, please.. just ask your question again [23:10] except knowing what you are doing [23:10] __mikem: what are you trying to do? [23:10] brobostigon: Can I abort the install ? I can't stop it because it's going to update the package list and I have no INET connection and there is no abort button.... [23:10] hever_: i go through a hub and have no problems, so it may have a problem because of the differences in hardware connecting it directly?? [23:10] <__mikem> gmcastil: I am trying to resize my windows partition so I can dualboot. Every time I try this it says An error occurred while writing the changes to the storage devices. [23:10] Slart, ok [23:11] __mikem: i don't think that thing can resize and NTFS partiton [23:11] borncrazy: a hub works on OSI layer 1 and is the same. [23:11] __mikem: Have you defragged the ntfs? [23:11] <__mikem> gmcastil: UM it can, It has in the past, and I need it done now [23:11] brobostigon: Can I abort the install ? I can't stop it because it's going to update the package list and I have no INET connection and there is no abort button.... [23:11] <__mikem> Flannel: yes, I spent half the afternoon defraging [23:11] __mikem: perhaps you should try google, then [23:11] hi all .... how can i access come port in my Box ? [23:11] I got a .deb, working through ssh. How do I install a deb with command line? [23:12] jimcooncat: dpkg -i [deb file] [23:12] hever_: if you abort the install it may brake it, [23:12] <__mikem> gmcastil, perhaps if you don't know the answer to my question, rather than telling me to go google it, you should just not say anything [23:12] crimsun: Any success? [23:12] jimcooncat: dpkg -i yourdebfile.deb [23:12] plop [23:12] jimcooncat: sorry.. sudo dpkg -i yourdebfile.deb [23:12] hi all .... how can i access come port in my Box ? [23:12] thanky Flannel, Slart [23:12] BagelMaster: busy ATM, I'll respond as soon as I can. [23:12] __mikem: ...or perhaps you could frame your questions in a way that don't sound like a whine [23:12] Mba7eth: What do you mean? [23:12] i did type a command and now when i open a terminal window i get this message on line after line "bash: /dev/null: Permission denied" [23:12] <__mikem> Flannel, the fact is, my disk is defraged, I have plenty of free space, why isn't this working? [23:12] brobostigon: hell... that means I must be connected to the internet to install ubuntu ??! [23:12] Slart, hey dude,. remember me? u still soliciting then? [23:12] __mikem: I have no idea [23:12] crimsun: thanks for your diligence [23:12] brobostigon: What comes after the package update ? [23:12] <__mikem> gmcastil, how do I make this thing work then? [23:13] What is the way to activate a composite manager in ubuntu? [23:13] bod_: always.. thought I'd get away with it at this late hour ;) [23:13] i think i typed "mv somethinghere /dev/null" [23:13] Flannel: my com Port, or serial , [23:13] borncrazy: something ended up on your .bashrc or .profile conf files [23:13] borncrazy, its probably your flaming hippy respiration configfile [23:13] hever_: you can install without internet, use the live or alternate cd [23:13] __mikem: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+resize+ntfs+partition&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a [23:13] server icq.chate.net [23:13] okay, can i reset the conf file? [23:13] Slart, u might do, but i might have to call old bill,.,.lol,.,. dont suppose you could help me with a usplash issue?

[23:14] pabl6: System>Preferences>Appearance>desktop effects [23:14] Slart, alt+F2 type compiz --replace [23:14] __mikem: thats probably where I would start [23:14] brobostigon: Its at the end I think but is going to update the packages. [23:14] bod_: I'm not on friendly terms with usplash.. but I'll do my best [23:14] Flannel: yes :) [23:14] EsxPro: wrong person [23:14] erUSUL, how do i reset it? [23:14] hever_: the live cd install does not need you to be connected to the internet to install, [23:14] <__mikem> gmcastil, if I wanted to use google, I wouldn't be in here. NOw either help me or stop trolling me [23:14] Slart, its not that its broken, its that i want to see the artwork they use,.,. in GIMP [23:15] __mikem: uh...wow....i doubt anyone will help you with that attitude [23:15] brobostigon: But it tells me the miirror is not reachable or has no proper release file... [23:15] borncrazy: first check them i may be wrong on my guess... [23:15] __mikem: forums are typicaly for people to come when google isn't helpful, not to do their homework for them [23:15] how? [23:15] bod_: hmm.. I really wouldn't know where to start.. perhaps download a new usplash theme and see what kind of files you get [23:15] borncrazy: with a text editor...

[23:17] bod_: yes.. .so files are binaries I think.. hang on.. I'll talk to mr google...see what he says [23:17] __mikem: perhaps you should just stick to windows...i don't think you have the mental acuity for linux [23:17] th0r, because i read rm wrong [23:17] Slart, ty,.,. he just turned up a blank for me [23:18] i confused it with rm or something [23:18] <__mikem> gmcastil, I can't find anything of help 3 pages in [23:18] is there an SVN client for Unbuntu [23:18] __mikem: did you try the first link?

[23:27] borncrazy: no; sorry [23:27] Jouva: They give you a command to run, just run it [23:27] hello channel [23:27] Ok [23:27] Tygir, hm, i don't think that opendns is the problem [23:28] erUSUL: I have to modprobe genrtc but its not available ?! [23:28] borncrazy: i just set it up, restarted my laptop and now i cant connect to it... [23:28] well im trying to get to the yahoo chat rooms, i was running 2.2.1 pigin, so i needed to update i was told [23:28] cole: you really need the latest? pidgin for feisty can be found on getdeb [23:28] borncrazy: but i can open it on my desktop...which is still using the OpenDNS servers as well... [23:28] do i need to add my host name to /etc/hosts in order to be ping-able by name? [23:28] Tygir: i cant connect to gmail through thinderbird fine, [23:28] Tygir, DNS has nothing to do with accessing sites or anything,. it just stores domain names [23:28] bod_: check the info for the usplash package [23:28] blz pessoal [23:28] then it's opendns [23:28] hi, how can I get a newer version of some software, when there is no update at synaptec and I use Ubuntu 7.10? [23:28] im new to linx can you please explain? [23:28] Slart, info usplash in a terminal ?? [23:29] erUSUL, okay [23:29] opendns ftw [23:29] hever_: yes genrtc does not appear on /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ [23:29] i am going to attempt to install UT2K4 on 7.10, whats the best way to do this? [23:29] i can't be pinged by name. please assist [23:29] f1sh3r: use the linux installer [23:30] cole: getdeb.com has some programs packaged for ubuntu versions on that site you can find a pidgin deb for feisty 7.04 [23:30] brobostigon: yeah, i think it has something to do with opera...what browser do you use? [23:30] hever_: are you sure that module exists? [23:30] is iptables disabled by default? [23:30] so i dont need the source? [23:30] brobostigon: the opera browser doesnt support the html version of gmail... [23:30] underwatercow: yes no rules are loaded by default [23:31] I know this is a stupid question but how do I start GNOME from terminal? [23:31] erUSUL: no. I read in a thread ths would help [23:31] tygir: firefox is my browser, but i use thunderbird for my email,i dont use firefox for email. only thundebird [23:31] BagelMaster: ok, so it at least has associated. [23:31] cole: nope way easier just click on the link and when asked to open it with gebi say yes [23:31] flannel: do i need to copy the entire DVD onto the hard drive? or do any thing like that? [23:31] bod_: or use synaptic and right-click.. I think there's a properties page [23:31] BagelMaster: can you get a dhcp lease from it (if the AP is thusly configured)? [23:31] BronxAngel: yeah, thats the reason, its opera...i should set up thunderbird then...it handles multiple email accounts doesnt it? [23:31] oh, thanx for that [23:31] bod_: I saw you tried to reach me yesterday [23:31] Slart, kk,. the info had it ,.ty,. [23:31] erUSUL: Does IP tables store its rules somewhere? or is there a way to list them? [23:31] cole: no problem [23:32] crimsun: How would I go about doing that? [23:32] underwatercow: sudo iptables -L [23:32] tritium, hi,. yer i was wonderring if you had anymore thoughts on the usplash? [23:32] brobostigon, did allow gmail pop in the parameter of gmail? [23:32] BagelMaster: sudo dhclient ath0 [23:32] bod_: no, sorry. Looks like you were also asking about a ban in -ops? [23:32] EsxPro: i use imap for gmail [23:32] underwatercow: it stores it on memory if you do not save them manually they will get lost on reboot [23:32] imap? it s pop3! [23:32] its just that i went to the pidgin website and i couldnt see a .deb to download [23:32] EsxPro: they also support imap [23:32] Question about LVM using the Alternative CD for Gutsy Gibbon amd64... What should the default auto configuration of LVM (using the entire disk) look like when setting it up and after finishing and executing "sudo fdisk -ls" with a 100gb HD????? [23:33] tritium, that 's new? [23:33] Amaranth, I ran both commands but looking in synaptic package manager, the version installed is "up to date" [23:33] erUSUL: The thing is, I used firestarter to configure my firewall... but it doesn't seem to matter if firestarter is running or not since it's actually iptables that does the work? [23:33] when i open my gmail it wasn t for sure [23:33] EsxPro: as of a few months ago, yes. [23:33] cole: http://www.getdeb.net/app/Pidgin [23:34] tritium, yes, i was banned from #ubuntu-offtopic when we had the ,.,.errm,.,.argument,.,. however i was told the ban would be for 24 hours, however im still banned. The person in -ops told me i needed to contact the person who banned me, but i dont remember who that was, all i remember was that you were there [23:34] f1sh3r: I don't believe so. No. But I don't really know how it works. [23:34] underwatercow: that is correct, once iptables are set and applied to start at boot time, there is no need for you to run firestarter again [23:34] thank you tritium [23:34] crimsun: What should I be looking for? It says No DHCPOFFERS received and No working leases in persistent database - sleeping [23:34] thankyou very much [23:34] underwatercow: yes... but i will spect firestarter to erase the rules when closed [23:34] bod_: #ubuntu-ops for that sort of stuff, thanks. [23:34] BagelMaster: how is your AP configured? open? WEP? WPA? [23:34] open [23:34] bod_: oh, you already went there. Ignore me. [23:34] crimsun: open [23:34] !who | cole [23:34] cole: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:34] Flannel: I asked him about it. [23:34] cole: no problem [23:35] Flannel, ty,.,.;) [23:35] BagelMaster: and the AP's not using MAC filtering, etc.? [23:35] Question about LVM using the Alternative CD for Gutsy Gibbon amd64... What should the default auto configuration of LVM (using the entire disk) look like when setting it up and after finishing and executing "sudo fdisk -ls" with a 100gb HD????? [23:35] WGGMk: Do you know why firestarter fails to run on startup? is it permissions? The only thing I really care about is I want to be able to, if possible, simply restore a file when I re-image and have all my rules be there automatically.... firestarter won't do that unless I restore the rules, and then run it... [23:35] Hey everyon, I am installing UBuntu for the first time and have a few quesitons im booted into the live OS right now and in the process of installing. I already have an install of fedora on here, is it possibly to tell it to just replace the fedora install and install ubuntu there? [23:35] ok sorry for that [23:36] underwatercow: there are two handy commands iptables-save and iptables-restore [23:36] WGGMk: I have no idea what the default setup is, but you'll have a separate /boot partition, and then the entire rest of the HDD will be set to LVM, and then you'll have logical volumes in that (details unbeknownst to me) [23:36] underwatercow: take a look at their man pages [23:36] underwatercow: to be honest, I have only ever "tried" firestarter once. and it did not appeal to me. I do remember reading something about permission stopping it from starting @ boot. [23:36] crimsun: I don't believe so [23:36] Can someone here using the nvidia-glx-new driver please tell me what file /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglx.so symlinks to? [23:36] Amaranth, n/m I didn't update the software list, duh. [23:36] WGGMk: what do you use? iptables commands? [23:37] BagelMaster: maybe some stray firewall rule ?? [23:37] hi [23:37] hi i am dual booting vista and ubuntu whenever i change from vista to ubuntu I loose all sound I have to restart my computer to make it work. what can i do [23:37] ? [23:37] Where is rc.conf in ubuntu? [23:37] sharperguy, man ls ;) [23:37] underwatercow: as my situation is different, i havent mastered the iptables commands. I use Webmin to manage iptables for my server. Same thing, just a GUI to ease configuration. Although if there is for 1 machine, webmin is not needed [23:37] SpookyET: slackware user? [23:38] erUSUL: close enough [23:38] EsxPro, I know what it symlinks to on my system, I want to know what it is for someone who has glx working [23:38] crimsun: The router firewall is not enabled [23:38] erUSUL: arch linux [23:38] i can't be pinged by name. please assist [23:38] SpookyET: afaik there is no rc.conf on ubuntu [23:38] hello ! [23:38] Flannel: im not sure I follow, is there a tool or GUI tool that can show me the exact partition scheme of my HD as is? this is my first time setting up LVM and I want to see how it is layed out [23:38] erUSUL: I want my backups to be automatic if possible, and restores to be simple... I want no work if possible after setting the rules once [23:38] How do I start GNOME from terminal? [23:39] Anyone? Or if I could just manaully tell it to write over the fedora install that would be fine too, but I don't know how to recognize which one is fedora. [23:39] BronxAngel: are you referring to hostname? [23:39] erUSUL: I presume that there are multiple files. Do they have a prefix or a sepecific dir? There are a ton of files in /etc [23:39] WGGMk: The installer (the partition/LVM configuration dialogs) should give you a pretty reasonable idea. [23:39] hi i am dual booting vista and ubuntu whenever i change from vista to ubuntu I loose all sound I have to restart my computer to make it work. what can i do [23:39] WGGMk: Or are you already past that? [23:39] Blaze2011: "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" [23:39] has anyone here had experience installing a dvico hdtv pro dvb-t pro onto ubuntu? [23:39] does anyone know how to join multiple channels in XCHAT? I put #ubuntu #ubuntu-offtopic, but it just auto joins #ubuntu [23:39] I tried a comma too but no dice [23:39] Flannel: im in the system already [23:39] Thanks [23:39] i cant even get it loaded :( [23:40] WGGMk: yes. i want to ping by name. i have 3 ubuntu pcs but we can't ping each other [23:40] BagelMaster: does the symptom persist across retries? [23:40] TheBlackOut, try "#ubuntu, #ubuntu-offtopic" [23:40] hello all ! just now installed ubuntu gutsy in my new inspiron laptop , 1525 series [23:40] Flannel: but ive done this a few times, after reinstalling it told me that the volume name was already in use, kinda got a bit worried so i formatted everything and started over [23:40] thiis has a problem with desktop effects ! [23:40] BronxAngel: are they all on the same LAN? do you have a firewall enabled on a router or a hosting machine? [23:40] SpookyET: what do you want to configure? [23:40] crimsun: The multiple times I have tried to connect, changed settings, rebooted, etc... the problem has persisted [23:40] It says "desktop effect could not be enabled" [23:40] TheBlackOut, work? [23:40] any suggestions ? [23:41] sharperguy: Nope [23:41] hmm [23:41] WGGMk: alright, well, `sudo fdisk -l` will show you actual drive partitions. One (or more) will be labeled LVM. lvdisplay (with sudo) will show you how your logical volumes (partitions inside of LVM) are layed out [23:41] WGGMk: we are all on the same lan and behind the router that gives us an ip [23:41] erUSUL: daemons [23:41] is there a backup tool in ubuntu? [23:41] WGGMk: we can ping by ip but not by host name [23:41] nuke_serge: have you installed the drivers for the video card? [23:41] TheBlackOut, oh actually mine has no spaces [23:41] just #ubuntu#ubuntu-offtopic? [23:41] Is there any way using any GUI or command line options that I can set rules for my firewall, and then simply backup a file, and restore it to get all my rules working automatically? [23:41] vicho-bg: yes ! it detected them on itself [23:41] TheBlackOut, edit your server and in canal to join type #1,#2 [23:41] BronxAngel: part 2 of question. do you have a Firewall enabled on the router? [23:41] underwatercow: once you added the rules run "sudo iptables-save > myrules" then load the rules with a call to sudo iptables-restore < myrules [23:41] TheBlackOut, commas but no spaces [23:41] Okay [23:42] Flannel: lvdisplay you say? thank you very much [23:42] nuke_serge: can you please give me the output of "glxinfo | grp direct" [23:42] sharperguy: worked, thanks! [23:42] erUSUL: that's still more work than I want to do, lol. I can use firestarter to load the rules back... I just want it to be more automatic if possible [23:42] TheBlackOut, yay [23:42] SpookyET: man update-rc.d or you can install and use rcconf (a curses app) [23:42] vicho-bg: wait , let me paste in some pastebin [23:43] nuke_serge: ooops, the command is "glxinfo | grep direct" [23:43] underwatercow: you can put the restore command on /etc/rc.local and it witll be done on every boot [23:43] WGGMk: lv is logical volume. There's also a pvdisplay, which displays physical volume stuff, if you have two or more LVM partitions you've merged (theres also vgdisplay, for volume groups) [23:43] underwatercow: so you only have to do the save command once in a while [23:43] underwatercow: when you change the rules [23:44] vicho-bg: i figured that out :) [23:44] vicho-bg: http://rafb.net/p/3O5C5T67.html [23:44] Flannel: approx how big should a boot partition be? i seem to be missing 7.06GB's of space and that seems to be insanely large for a boot partition [23:44] Psst installation help, anyone :-p? [23:44] does that mean i havent installed driver yet ?? [23:44] erUSUL: hmmm... *thinks* so I would restore my saved rules and a script to rc.local and have it restore my rules that way? [23:44] BagelMaster: ok, I'm not much help, as I don't have much experience with that driver and I need to run [23:45] WGGMk: Well, fdisk should show that. It should show your boot. 128-256MB is more than enough for a boot [23:45] WGGMk: yes but only from outside in. everything is open in the lan [23:45] Hey all...anyone here ever install the command-line only and then build up from there? Are there any real advantages other than not installing crap you'd never use anyway? [23:45] BagelMaster: if you can verify from the AP that the dhcp request is actually being seen by the AP, that's one step. [23:45] crimsun: alright, thanks anyway [23:45] BagelMaster: additionally - and I don't necessarily recommend it, but it's an option - there's ndiswrapper. [23:45] crimsun: what is that? [23:45] BronxAngel: not being able to ping by hostname would either be a port being blocked for ICMP request (i think) or a DNS issue [23:46] BagelMaster: briefly, a utility to use the NDIS interface for the Windows driver files [23:46] so ubuntu does not "stop" this from happening [23:46] apt-get or aptitude? Using both but can't decied if I should stick with one or the other. Any opinions? [23:47] is there a backup tool in ubuntu? [23:47] !backup | tyrone [23:47] tyrone: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [23:47] please [23:47] Gidean: aptitude is probably better, but i always use apt-get, it just rolls off the tongue easier...lol [23:47] tyrone: I like using sbackup, available in the repository [23:47] Flannel: would you mind taken a look at a pastebin of my "fisk -ls" results to ensure im not going insane here [23:47] thks [23:47] WGGMk: sure [23:47] Gidean: i use mor pure cli, than enything else, so would say apt-get. [23:47] and also i am dual booting vista and ubuntu whenever i change from vista to ubuntu I loose all sound I have to restart my computer to make it work. what can i do [23:48] lol I was using apt-get for so long that I sometimes type apt-ude install :) [23:48] tyrone: that doesn't make any sense at all. [23:48] Has anyone ever heard of wireless not working for a particular type or brand of wireless router? [23:48] erUSUL: A script in rc.local would have to be executable, right? [23:48] WGGMk: would dynamic routing off be an issue? this is on my WRTP54G lynksis router [23:48] Gidean: i think aptitude was really only better, in Dapper, i think they are mor or less than same now, but i could be wrong. [23:48] Flannel: I have a 100GB HD total, http://pastebin.org/17937 [23:48] yea I'm CLI fan too...so apt-get is best, yeah? [23:48] !aptitude | Gidean [23:48] <__mikem> crimsun, PM [23:48] Gidean: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [23:48] Can someone here using the nvidia-glx-new driver please tell me what file /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglx.so symlinks to? [23:48] Gidean: i wouldn't say best, its just an alternative [23:49] I'm still having sound issues here. I DL'd the newest ALSA files but they are not installing. [23:49] BronxAngel: I would get a second opinion on that, im not familiar with 'dynamic routing' [23:49] so in gutsy I can be assured that apt-get remove takes care of dependancies? [23:49] Doesn't aptitude remove unused dependencies the same way apt-get -autoremove does? === bruenig|laptop is now known as bruenig [23:49] whenever I am in vista and restart my computer to go into ubuntu my sound stops working. I have to start the computer over again to have sound. What can I do? [23:49] autoremove as well? [23:49] gidean: i just choice of what you prefer, differt people like different things, [23:49] Hey can someone please help me with some installation questions? [23:49] Gidean: to my knowledge, yes. [23:50] hmm how do you check the svn build you have for a particular fetch? [23:50] how do i shorten the pathname in a terminal? like only show the current path? (i'm using bash) [23:50] i've never had an issue with it. [23:50] OK..so if both are = its about choice...excellent...can't argue with that... [23:50] thanks guys... [23:50] khar, you need to change the PS1 variable in .bashrc [23:50] <__mikem> IndyGunFreak: I need help. Every time I try to dual boot ubuntu using the guided partitioner, it says that it couldn't write to the devices, and fails [23:50] WGGMk: ok, thanks. you gave me a clue and now i will do more research [23:50] BronxAngel: try using "nslookup " and see what results you return [23:50] __mikem: hmm, can't write the devices?.. [23:50] gidean: because aptitude and apt-get do axactly the same thing, [23:51] <__mikem> IndyGunFreak: let me recreatethe error so you can get the exact message [23:51] bruenig: u da man, thanks [23:51] BronxAngel: are these newly installed systems? [23:51] Iask that because I'm installing CLI only 7.10 on my desktop and was hoping to be consistant with which APT front end to use,,, [23:51] __mikem: maybe try using gparted to partition part of the drive blank, then use it that way(thast how i always do it. [23:51] hi [23:51] since my fingers type apt-get 9 times out of 10 I'll stick to that.. [23:51] it hits the routher 19.168.15.1 but does not go past that. yes these are fresh installs [23:51] <__mikem> IndyGunFreak: I am too nervous about loosing data to try anything that doesn't involve some kind of automation [23:52] again, thank you to all who responded [23:52] __mikem: oh i see.. [23:52] Gidean: welcome [23:52] <__mikem> NOw its not even giving me the option of resizing the partition [23:52] __mikem: is the partition you're trying to resize an extended partition? That create problems for me using the guided one [23:52] __mikem: where are youc oncerned about losing data, on the Windows partition, or the ubuntu partition? [23:52] it should be libglx.so.1.0.9629 in the same directory sharperguy (that what i read) [23:52] <__mikem> IndyGunFreak: the windows partition [23:53] would ubuntu work for a media center setup? [23:53] WGGMk: right. You've run into a "GB == 1000 MB" issue. If youlook at the topof that, Disk /dev/sda: 100.0 GB, 100030242816 bytes, 100GB == 93 GiB (GiB is 1024 MB) [23:53] EsxPro, I dont seem to have that [23:53] dakkar: you might be interested in Ubuntu Studio [23:53] __mikem: doesn't make much sense. [23:53] dakkar, WGGMk: try mythbuntu [23:54] WGGMk: excuse me could you possibly help me with my ubuntu installation? [23:54] !mythtv | dakkar [23:54] dakkar: MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV [23:54] dakkar: actually you should look into mythtv [23:54] is there a way to keep my computer from asking for the install cd when I apt-get programs? It's a CLI only install so far... [23:54] Flannel: im not sure I follow.. So is my system rubbish? [23:54] Gidean: comment out the CD in your /etc/apt/sources.list [23:54] Hello. I am trying to install ubuntu on a vista dual boot setup. I am at the bootloader part of the install. I want to install grub on the linux partition instead of the mbr. I choose manual to specify it. My problem is how do I tell the installation where to install. The linux partition is detected as "sdc and partition 2" but when I choose manual it has (hd0)? I tried the installs with putting the info (sdc2) or (hd2,2) at that bootload [23:54] thanks Flannel! [23:54] thanks! I'll read the info over at mythtv! [23:54] Hello. Due to a recent error I saw while booting up, I have come to the conclusion that there might be an error on my drive. How do I check the drive for errors? [23:55] Man, what a great community... [23:55] :) [23:55] Gidean: if you like a GUI, you can also do it in Synaptic [23:55] thats usually the first thing i do when i install. [23:55] libglx.so is a symlink to libglx.so.1.1.xxxx in the same directory (translate from french ) sharperguy [23:56] __mikem: so is your system usable, or can you not even boot windows right now? [23:56] thanks Indy but I'm more of a CL junkie... [23:56] Hi I'm trying to install flash via nspluginwrapper I install pluginwrapper from source and now when I run nspluginwrapper -i libflashplayer.so I get: [23:56] nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for libflashplayer.so [23:56] WGGMk: No, your harddrive was labeled as "100GB" which is 1000 MB. Your seeing 93GiB, where 1 GiB == 1024 MB. Harddrive mfcs found they could make their harddrives appear bigger by going to the 1000 vs 1024 thing. Everything is fine. You have a 93 Gigabyte (what most of us think of a Gigabyte) harddrive, not 100. [23:56] Gidean: no prob by me, [23:56] ajhtiredwolf: what is the issue your having? [23:56] Okay... my system booted up in text mode, rather than with any screen. If I tried to use wine to boot something, it'd say "Make sure your X server is running." ...o.O What do I do from there? [23:56] :) [23:56] can anyone tell me how to connect to my wireless network from command line? [23:57] Taylor: well wine can not work without Xwindows [23:57] johnficca: that almost sounds like taking a machine gun squirrel hunting [23:57] i know my info but it just doesnt want to connect right.. lol [23:57] Gidean: well it good to use cli somtimes, so many people now that i now, seem afraid of cli. [23:57] singlesun: iwconfig i believe [23:57] WGGMk: thank you so much for responding. I am installing this for the first tiem i always used fedora in the past, fedora had the option to " replace all linux partions when installing, i always used that. Is htere a way to do that in ubuntu? [23:57] Hey, Im trying to install the new ALSA files because I have no sound Im using Ubunutu-Gutsy, When I am in the terminial i put in the source for the files and nothing happens [23:57] johnficca: just download the source from adobe.com, and follow the instrucitons, its easy to install. [23:57] WGGMk: Becuase... i am not seeing the fedora partition in the partition menu, otherwise i would just tell it to install there [23:57] erUSUL: right, I was just trying to see what errors it'd give me. Any idea how to resolve it? [23:57] danbhfive, i have used iwconfig and no luck so far [23:58] IndyGunFreak: I'm using 64 bit ubuntu [23:58] ajhtiredwolf: yes there is... if your using the live CD installer.. the option would just be "Guided, Use Entire Disk." likewise for the alternative installer.. if will format everything and install over the newly formatted disk [23:58] johnficca: well, that helps. [23:58] singlesun: I was able to connect by just inputting the essid and the password, so I was able to skip all the other options [23:58] sweet! i got an internet radio from the goodwill and it plays great! [23:58] Hello. Due to a recent error I saw while booting up, I have come to the conclusion that there might be an error on my drive. How do I check the drive for errors? [23:58] WGGMk: now i know it has to be the pcs cuz i am pinging from the router and i get servername not found [23:59] Flannel: so i have a 93 GB HD not a 100 GB HD.. is this why my root partition says I only have a total of 87GB? [23:59] danbhfive, via wpa or wep? [23:59] zylstra555: `sudo touch /forcefsck` then reboot [23:59] zylstra555: (and wait a while) [23:59] WGGMk: both windows and fedora are installed on the same disk and i do not wnat to write over windows [23:59] BronxAngel: did you try the nslookup command? [23:59] zylstra555, i often boot a live cd. and use the fsck.WHATEVER /dev/whatever command. Or you can do like flannel suggests [23:59] singlesun: thats the lucky part, i didnt know [23:59] how do I get the function keys to do stuff? [23:59] can anyone assist me with Mplayer not being capable of playing .ogg files? I recorded some things on my desktop with Istanbul and i can't get the file to play back in totem & Mplayer. [23:59] WGGMk: er, I didn't catch that. Let me look again. Now that I realise that you realise its only 93GiB [23:59] Flannel: Thanks, I will do. Flannel Is there a log left behind that I can review?
