[00:01] * gilda hangs on [00:01] * andi5 repaints gilda [00:01] kubuntu is really? [00:01] where can i find a good Source Control System/CVS with nice GUI and will let me see changes from previous code? [00:01] Anyone have experience with macchanger i'm getting permission errors as normal user or as root. [00:02] * gilda looks 'lime green YAY' [00:02] damn, nope [00:02] kubuntu is really? [00:02] DivineSpectrum_: English, please [00:02] e' inglese :( [00:02] soundray: doh! I think maybe I missed a reboot after the madwifi install; things are working a lot better now. [00:03] Thanks for your help. [00:03] Please go to the appropriate channel for help in your language, or learn english [00:03] xkcdr0ckz: there must be graphical front ends for bazarr/cvs/subversion available. if you want a distributed versioning software, have a look at git, but i don't know of a graphical front end for it [00:03] ouch [00:03] gigamonk`: there is a special address range termed 'link-local addresses' (see Wikipedia entry on Private network) [00:03] howlingmadhowie, xkcdr0ckz: gitk, git-gui, others [00:03] gigamonk`: well done for fixing it [00:03] the system is kernel? [00:03] lol great gigamonk` [00:04] DivineSpectrum_: The online translator you're using is inadequate at best. [00:04] DivineSpectrum_ is a funny guy eh? [00:04] sorry [00:04] Gnine: he doesn't afraid of anything [00:04] howlingmadh: well basically i'm just looking for something like Eclipse/Geany which I can see a history of my source code as it changes. i've never used a CVS app before so i wouldn't know if if CVS is right for me. [00:05] I had to manually set DNS--shouldn't I have gotten that from my DHCP server? [00:05] Not that it matters much. [00:05] nope gigamonk` i had to set mine to with the wireless it seems to be wonky that way [00:05] In theory, theory and practice are identical. In practice they are not. [00:05] i like kernel [00:05] xkcdr0ckz: Eclipse already has "local history" but you probably want something like Subversion or Mercurial if you want to store them in some structured way [00:05] Sorry to re-ask, but I need a hand getting my sound back. I think I lost it during an update? and didn't notice right away, so I don't know what happened. I've tried rebuilding ALSA and following the debugging sound problems page with no luck. I've got an onboard Ensoniq sound device that aplay sees, and all my audio controls are intact. Don't know what else to try. [00:05] xkcdr0ckz: CVS is definitely not right... other than that it is a matter of taste, i guess... except rcs other older ones, of course ;-) [00:06] Geezle: i suppose your volume controls are not muted? :) [00:06] andi5: Nope, I wish it was that simple [00:07] Geezle, you ran the amixer ? [00:07] gigamonk`: just curious: is the camera working? [00:07] Okay, now I just have to track down this ctrl-c in Terminal problem. [00:07] soundray: no camera on mine. Sorry. [00:07] soz the kernel ubuntu 7.10 using? [00:07] Geezle: do you have more than one sound device? ... that kicked me a few times, caused by a differing loading order [00:07] gigamonk`: oh?

[00:08] Geezle: huh? ... have you checked lsmod? [00:09] Geezle, the modules obviously loading correctly since its detected correctly yes ? [00:09] gigamonk`: okay... can you work with the small screen resolution reasonably well? [00:09] guys, any idea on how i can change my loading screen to ubuntu rather than kubuntu? [00:09] DivineSpectrum_: 2.6.22-14 [00:09] andi5: what am I looking for in lsmod? (sorry, bit of a newb) [00:09] cheesypieces: The login? or before the login? [00:09] the esonique modules Geezle [00:10] There's no way to set the Network Settings app to show the wireless password as you type it in is there? [00:10] Çäðàñòå! [00:10] gilda: it looks like they are as far as I can tell [00:10] flannel, before the login [00:10] Geezle: anything starting with snd_ [00:10] the screen with the scrolling bar [00:10] SubN0ob: english please [00:10] gilda: hang on, I'll take a look [00:10] cheesypieces: sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so [00:10] ya plz do Geezle [00:11] gigamonk`: they're discussing your dvorak problem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=601586 [00:11] cheesypieces: then once you've done that, to make it happen immediately: sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-$(uname -r) [00:11] Looking for some help [00:11] people use dvorak? [00:11] Flannel: i do not know update-alternatives off-hand, but does not your command miss the name of the command? [00:11] does anyone know how I might copy an existing ubuntu installation to a virtualbox image? [00:11] Geezle, what is the lspci on the esonique sound card ? [00:11] thanks flannel [00:11] Flannel: oops... just ignore that question [00:11] andi5: alright :) [00:11] silent_: it's a great way to be different [00:12] Every time I mount my FAT32 partition, it automatically changes all permission to root and locks me out of everything [00:12] skarface: why would you possibly want to do that?

I've got a different number showing for that than I have listed in lsmod. I think this may have been something I did when rebuilding ALSA? It was the closest to my device. Still an Ensoniq module, but a different number [00:16] xkcd [00:16] oops [00:16] how do i make an x-box 360 gamepad work? [00:16] Geezle, sounds like it - need to make sure the modules for alsa are the correct ones [00:16] Geezle: you may want to unload the modules with `sudo modprobe -r $module` , then try again loading [00:16] ? [00:16] Geezle, http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Ensoniq [00:17] the right modules to use for what card [00:17] Bah. Now I've got to get WPA or WEP working. [00:17] gigamonk`: forget about WEP, as it is insanely insecure [00:17] gigamonk`: did you get the link for dvorak? [00:17] gigamonk`, should be plug-n-play [00:17] using wep is more secure then using nothing [00:17] your statement about wep is flawed [00:18] hi! I would like to ask if I can use a SATA hdd with a SATA2 connector [00:18] Hi! up to now i've only used the forums and checked launchpad, anyone can help solve Usplash issue? for Ubuntu studio [00:18] gilda: according to that page, it still uses the same driver [00:18] Proble: Im trying to mount a local FAT32 partition. Every time I mount it, it automatically assign root acces only permissions. [00:18] Gnine: elaborate [00:18] gilda: like putting a stone before my dore instead of locking it :-D [00:18] gilda: it's like taking a pen knife to a warzone === Zetto_ is now known as Zetto [00:18] andi5: I might try that in a bit. apparently it's the same driver for both numbers [00:18] door, even [00:18] or module rather [00:18] boomer, you should be using pmount instead [00:18] why dont you elaborate on it.. got a link that proves your point? [00:18] taking a penknife is better then bringing ur barrehands [00:18] ok [00:18] imho [00:19] gigamonk`: hello? [00:19] Gnine: I am guessing you are referring to 'using wep is more secure than not using anything?' [00:19] boomer, that or set a mask for the mountpoint when mounting the device [00:19] i refer to wep being highly insecure as somebody just stated here [00:19] soundray: got it. Thanks. [00:19] I dont have a command named pmount [00:19] How do i set a mask [00:19] (Brute force approach of deleting the non-Dvorak layout does the trick for now.) [00:19] boomer: read the messages that ubotu sent you [00:19] wont say wep is the best option - saying its better then being an open hot spot for anyone to snuggle up to [00:20] boomer, install pmount :) [00:20] /crap [00:20] oops [00:20] * howlingmadhowie likes having his wlan net open so others can use it [00:20] hellp i am back [00:20] (/crap is a command in my irc client to remove extraneous lines from the buffer) [00:20] anybody have a plausible explanation why I can't access my machine via ftp, even though I've done so before, and can ping it, and the "services" app says it is running? [00:20] Gnine: as it is but it is still better than leaving the AP open [00:21] russ whats the ip [00:21] deadlyalliance33 it is within my home firewall [00:21] howlingmadhowie, i suppose if you got called in for letting a criminal use you conn., it's ok, is it? :) [00:21] have you ever tried to brake a 128bit encryption key before? [00:21] unop: that's not a problem in the country i live in [00:22] apparently not [00:22] Gnine: http://www.shawnhogan.com/2006/08/how-to-crack-128-bit-wireless-networks.html ... but there are probably better sites, this was the result of a quick and dirty google search [00:22] howlingmadhowie, still, is it worth the hassle? [00:22] Gnine: yah, have you ever tried to break an open access point? ohh wait you can just log in to it [00:22] Gnine: why have a door on your house it is easy to break down.. [00:22] unop: it's a lot less hassle than playing about with encryption keys etc. [00:22] unop: and i get to improve the quality of life of anyone who wants to use it :) [00:23] howlingmadhowie, i just read your name again, now it all makes sense :) no offence btw - and let's stay on topic here [00:23] Thanks for your help everyon [00:24] erUSUL: after abit of playing around, I removed the pata drives and inserted a sata drive on the card, on boot I first noticed before grab a quick flash of a drive.. and now my kernel is looking much different. and /devsda is present, the sata drives work.. any ideas what is wrong with the pata? [00:24] unop: free wireless open access would be a great thing, but it isn't going to happen if people lock up their nets behind wpa and wep encryption :( [00:24] sweet [00:24] boomer: sounds ironic [00:24] MEDIC???????????????? [00:24] whys that? [00:24] MEDIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [00:24] MEDIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [00:24] MEDIC????????????????????????????????? [00:24] ... [00:24] boomer: did you get the help I sent you via ubotu? [00:24] ? [00:24] ok on-topic - how does one stop and restart the ftp daemon? [00:25] I did and it worked thank you very much. [00:25] Pulling my hair out all day. [00:25] howlingmadhowie, off-topic [00:25] russ, /etc/init.d/daeomonname [00:25] russ: /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart (presuming you have vsftpd) [00:25] russ: sudo /etc/init.d/ restart [00:25] Crazy [00:25] boomer: oh good. I thought somehow you hadn't got it. [00:25] restart [00:25] Liquid: Please stop [00:25] sry [00:26] i was only looking for a medic [00:26] Cool [00:26] Is there some command-line way to setup my wireless connection? (So I can know I'm actually sending the right passphrase, etc.) [00:26] gigamonk`: iwconfig, i guess [00:26] Is it possible, to take the linux you are running right now, and make an ISO, so someone can install it, and have the "Custom" ubuntu you are running? [00:26] very cool [00:26] is it possible to use the vista design in ubuntu? [00:26] yes gigamonk` run sudo iwconfig device essid essidName key keyUrUsing [00:27] Liquid, defeats the point of ubuntu eventually -- but sure, have a browse on gnome-art.com [00:27] WeedGrinch: difficult, unless the other person has a very similar computer [00:27] gilda: don't you need to specify in there the kind of security (WPA vs WEP) [00:27] Hi, I have a notebook with a MCP51 Nvidia Chipset. When I plug the headphones the speakers of the computer keeps working. [00:27] and whats about mac?

"Congealed" is a better term. [00:28] gigamonk`: network-manager does not support your network device? [00:28] Also, alsa does get me 2 separated sliders, one for the headphones and one for the speakers but they both control both to the same time. [00:28] ¿Any idea? [00:29] okay thx guys [00:29] i downloaded ubuntu [00:29] alternate [00:29] and desktop [00:29] but the desktop think wont work [00:29] andi5: It works fine with an open access point but if I turn on security I can't seem to get hooked up.

[00:31] eHome, it depends on how you installed it [00:31] soundray: Tried that. Not having a lot of luck with pasting. (Gotta love the X clipboard hell.) [00:31] eHome: probably you will need to uninstall the package called flashplugin-nonfree [00:31] another problem... is it possible to updgrade from gusty to hardy heron?

[00:31] another problem... is it possible to updgrade from gusty to hardy heron? [00:32] howlingmadhowie, gilda, cosmodad, thanks, I restarted it but it still didn't fix this problem. I wonder what's the matter. [00:32] gigamonk`, i just used essidName as a placeholder u fill in ur own essid there [00:32] i visited some site (flash), ask me to install missing ..., i clicked install, that's all -- bruenig unop [00:32] i am a noob!!!I am trying to install pidgin can anyone help me [00:32] gigamonk`, essid is literally 'essid' so let us say that your acesspoint has an essid of "whatever" and a key that is "somekey" then command would be iwconfig wlan0 essid whatever key somekey [00:32] is it possible to have 2 soundcardS? [00:32] russ: what are you trying to fix? [00:32] is it possible to have 2 soundcardS? === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [00:32] whats the difference in gusty and heron?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [00:32] Yes Liquid, ir is. [00:32] Liquid: hardy heron has not been released yet... yes, it is possible to upgrade but unsupported [00:32] eHome, so it is probably installed in your home directory in ~/.mozilla [00:32] kidem, versions [00:32] russ: can you get a shell on the machine with the ftp server? [00:32] ohhh [00:32] ¿No one can help me? [00:32] cosmodad I am trying to access my machine via ftp from another on my home hetwork [00:32] bruenig: let me check ... [00:32] andi5: unsupported? [00:32] eHome, i guess you'll need to remove/delete the plugin from within the ~/.firefox/plugins directory [00:32] what do you mean with that? [00:32] Ah. [00:32] howlingmad howie sure [00:33] russ did you forware the port ??? thru the router [00:33] forward* [00:33] russ: try "netstat -lp" [00:33] Liquid: well, it is still under development and gutsy gibbon (or dapper drake) are the recommended distributions [00:33] is it supported if you install heron direct but not if you upgrade it? [00:33] so is ubuntu have capabilities where i can DL it and it installs it...with out reinstalling? [00:33] no such directory as ~/.firefox [00:33] russ: is your ftp server in your NAT-ed LAN, or outside? [00:33] okay [00:33] cya [00:34] So that had no discernable effect. [00:34] :-( [00:34] gigamonk`, did you try adding the default gateway ? [00:34] Is there somewhere were error messages from the wireless networking get logged. [00:34] unop: bruenig : yes there are ~/.mozilla/pugins/flashplayer.xpt, libflashplayer.so, .DS_Store -- should i delete these 3 files ? any harm to ubuntu ? [00:34] gigamonk`: i suppose your access point is configured correctly? [00:34] gilda, cosmodad, it's all within my home network so I've never needed to forward the port before. This worked before, I don't know what chanceg. [00:34] can u upgrade to heron? and not loose anything?? [00:34] eHome, delete them [00:34] Gigamo, /var/log/{syslog,messages,debug} [00:34] andi5: it works for all my macs. [00:34] eHome, delete the whole directory if you want [00:34] !hardy [00:34] 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 [00:35] eHome, you can delete the first two safely - and that uninstalls flash [00:35] you can delete all of them safely [00:35] russ: you should check the logs in /var/log for anything suspicious, e.g. mis-configuration. [00:35] gilda: ah, I see. After the iwconfig I need to also do ifconfig and set up routes with 'route'? [00:35] bruenig: sure? ready ? any ting to confirm ? [00:35] I can see why folks use the GUI. ;-) [00:35] eHome, just delete them and restart firefox [00:35] russ: can you log in at all, or are you already rejected right from the start? [00:35] route add default gw RouterIP [00:35] \away [00:35] bruenig: ok [00:35] Gigamo, if your router gives out IP addressess, you dont need to mess with ifconfig and route.. [00:35] howlingmadhowie i did netstat -lp - what am i looking for? [00:36] and if you are dhcp you should not need to set up the ifconfig [00:36] err gigamonk` ^^ [00:36] anyone no much about wireless internet and the wep key? cus im kinda stuck [00:36] russ: ftp [00:36] russ: if latter is true, you are either (1) firewalling or (2) not have the server listen to the appropriate address. (e.g., on localhost only) [00:36] gilda: i thought the network would work without encryption... if that was true, the routes should also be correct, shoudl not they? [00:36] eHome, you are thinking too windowish as if there is some official looking way of doing stuff, all the OS is is a collection of files, you modify files to change stuff whether that modification is officialized through some charade of a gui or not doesn't affect the legitimacy of the action [00:36] also may want to nano /etc/resolv.conf and make sure nameserver=RouterIP [00:36] gn8 [00:36] gilda: "SIOCADDRT: No such process" [00:36] its already 1.36am [00:36] how to install pidgin [00:36] I have a notebook with a MCP51 Nvidia Chipset. When I plug the headphones the speakers of the computer keeps working. Now, I have found that I can set the model parameter when installing the snd_hda_intel module, I don't know if my problem can be solve with this, but it didn't until now. Anyway, Alsa does get me 2 separated sliders, one for the headphones and one for the speakers but they both control both output at the same time. [00:37] gn8 [00:37] its already 1.36am [00:37] I think I'm going to work harder on just pasting the key. ;-) [00:37] like you seem to want something you click, some checkbox you uncheck, some think that flashes around and says "congratulation you have uninstalled flash", you must escape that mindset [00:37] hey there... I'm installing ubuntu on a new laptop I've bought. the problem is that the livecd didn't booted correctly (it hangup on the progress bar). then, I fixed that by just using noapic acpi=off irqpoll. although, with acpi disabled, I miss all the battery monitoring features. any ideas on how to fix that? [00:37] gigamonk`, what type of wireless card u using ? [00:37] srujan: ubuntu desktop installs it by default. or sudo apt-get install pidgin (I guess) [00:37] gilda: whatever's in this Asus eee pc. [00:37] thing* [00:37] bruenig: unop : ah :) that is easy -- thanks :D [00:37] andi5, sometimes the routes just up and kack ive noticed throw crap off [00:37] srujan: In the upper panel, there is Applications > Add/Remove... :-) [00:37] so i noticed the XGL implementation in ubuntu defaults to the pc101 style keyboard mapping..I'm attempting to manually set it to pc105 with this command: setxkbmap -rules xorg -model pc105 -layout us >>> However, I get this error: Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property [00:38] venox: try 'pci=noacpi' [00:38] How do I find the device name of my usb drive? like /dev/*? [00:38] gigamonk`, if you do an lspci what doees it list as ur wireless ? [00:38] gilda: ok... maybe i had more luck than others with routes :) [00:38] I have a notebook with a MCP51 Nvidia Chipset. When I plug the headphones the speakers of the computer keeps working. Now, I have found that I can set the model parameter when installing the snd_hda_intel module, I don't know if my problem can be solve with this, but it didn't until now. Anyway, how can I get the list of posibles values for this parameter?. Also, Alsa does get me 2 separated sliders, one for the headphones and one for [00:38] the speakers but they both control both output at the same time. [00:38] soundray: tried it already... I've found it to work with acpi=ht, but it doesn't give me the battery monitoring features [00:38] howlingmadhowie well that's interestng - there's no line mentioning ftp [00:38] sajes, examine the output of dmesg and you should get a pointer there -- at a terminal dmesg | tail [00:38] lol lucky andi5 i had to declare all my wireless stuff manually the network config thingy hates me in gutsy [00:39] how do i find out my network key on ubuntu? [00:39] soundray: strangely, it seems to hang up while loading usbcore or something. [00:39] I have a notebook with a MCP51 Nvidia Chipset.

[00:39] srujan: you really shouldn't ping people like that. please stop [00:39] gilda, apparently, nm-applet doesnt just hate you -- i uninstalled it [00:39] gilda: my first usb stick did not work at all, so i chose the next one really carefully :) [00:39] your network key should be on your router ironeye [00:39] where to see for the package open source code...thanx for the reply [00:39] how can i remove the gnome effects? [00:39] mines a fully supported atheros device by madwifi [00:39] russ: interesting [00:39] unop: It doesn't show there. I needed to find out the device name so I could mount it. I turned automounting off. [00:40] dxm: System > Settings > Appearance > Visual Effects [00:40] russ: should be there under port 21 [00:40] venox: have you looked at your BIOS setup (APIC and ACPI-related settings)? [00:40] howlingmadhowie I take that back: it reports ftp, state = "LISTENING" [00:40] i had to manually modprob the ath_pci and work from there [00:40] Is it possible to get Ubuntu to support multiple desktop backgrounds on different Workspaces? [00:40] russ: okay, that's a good sign [00:40] bruenig: any soft ware similiar to flash, so that kid can play with in ubuntu - to build some great photo slide show, maybe with background music ? [00:40] *phew* im not alone then unop [00:40] russ: try ftp-ing in locally [00:40] soundray: sadly, it doesn't have any APIC or ACPI related settings... it's a Phoenix BIOS or something [00:40] I have a notebook with a MCP51 Nvidia Chipset.

[00:40] Hey where can i get the fixed flash plugin [00:41] vbabiy_laptop, adobe's site [00:41] andi5 is another effect, minimize window.... [00:41] howlingmadhowie ok that works [00:41] WGGMk: that is more a question whether metacity is capable thereof ... i cannot answer this question nonetheless :( [00:41] Jewfro-Macabbi: they have a deb package [00:41] russ: that's a good sign :) [00:41] vbabiy_laptop: if you gimme a sec i can get you a link to install it with nsdiswrapper [00:41] sajes, if you do an ls /dev/sd* .. your device should be the last one (provided you inserted the USB stick recently) [00:41] venox: I take it you've tried noapic and nolapic as well [00:41] Thanks gilda [00:41] vbabiy_laptop, no it's maual install - but you just launch the script - instructions are provided - and it does work. [00:41] eHome, I don't know, I don't do that kind of stuff so I am the wrong person to ask [00:41] "User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable to other users." What does this mean? [00:41] andi5: is this possible with Compiz? [00:42] andi5 is in gconf-editor but i don't know where [00:42] dxm: does it show 3 or 4 rectangles when minimizing?

I've tried using both at the same time [00:42] andi5 yes [00:42] russ: and you have access to other services on the same machine from a remote machine? [00:42] sajes, what i would do is tail -f /var/log/dmesg and then plug the disk in, dmesg should pick up the insertion [00:42] bruenig: no worries. too busy here -- pop out this room for a while :) [00:42] WGGMk: i have no clue about compiz, sorry [00:42] gilda: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adaptor (rev 01) [00:42] soundray: but I haven't tried just nolapic [00:42] howlingmadhowie probably not although I can ping it [00:42] vbabiy_laptop: check this out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=476924 for installing flash [00:42] gigamonk`, if you sudo lsmod do you see ath_pci [00:42] ? [00:42] venox: well, you have, if you've tried both together [00:42] vbabiy_laptop, it's ask for the path to your browser - which should be /usr/bin/firefox [00:43] venox: one thing that may or may not be worth trying is recompiling your DSDT [00:43] hello does anyone know how to create a transparent proxy using squid? mine doesnt work [00:43] venox: this page has instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ACPIBattery [00:44] gilda: yes. [00:44] "User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable to other users." What does this mean? [00:44] klndz3, at a terminal -- rm $HOME/.dmrc; touch $HOME/.dmrc; chmod 644 $HOME/.dmrc; [00:44] both a line starting with ath_pci and in the lines starting wlan and ath_hal [00:44] Urgh, sorry for the double. Thank you unop! [00:44] howlingmadhowie what other service might I test? I tried telnet and that doesn't work - recognizes the name but reports could not open connection on port 23 [00:44] and ifconfig ath0 reports the device ? [00:44] russ: it would be interesting to know. so we have various possibilities. the first one is, the ftp server is configured to not accept connections from someone other than localhost [00:45] soundray: hmm, thanks, I'll give it a try... can I just leave acpi=off and follow those instructions? [00:45] I have a notebook with a MCP51 Nvidia Chipset. When I plug the headphones the speakers of the computer keeps working.

Also, Alsa does get me 2 separated sliders, one for the headphones and one for [00:45] the speakers but they both control both output at the same time. === gierth is now known as lgierth [00:45] russ, can you browse ftp locally from on the ftp server itself? at a terminal - ftp localhost [00:45] gilda: well, it reports it twice. Once as ath0 (with no IP) and once as ath0:avah with a link-local address, just the way it did before the reboot that got it basically working. [00:45] russ: try telnet on port 21 [00:45] soundray: I mean, my acpi isn't even working at all, is that an issue? [00:46] venox: it can be, but if your system is reasonably recent, it will throttle itself before overheating [00:46] unop: Should I get any reply from the terminal after issuing those commands? [00:46] andi5 ? [00:46] The plain ath0 entry in the ifconfig output is what's there if I disabble the Wireless Connection in the Network Settings app altogether. [00:46] dxm: /apps/metacity/general/reduced_resources [00:46] The ath0:avah gets added when I enable the connection. [00:46] dxm: just found it :) [00:46] n #ubuntu [00:46] andi5 thanks [00:47] gigamonk`, we can try to set it up manually to the ath0 device if youd like [00:47] If I open up the access point and then enable the Wireless Connection, I get just the one ath0 entry and it gets an IP address assigned by my DHCP server. [00:47] Hey guys is there any issues with using an ati radeon dual screen setup (gnome) and compiz fusion? [00:47] klndz3, no [00:47] Is it possible, just setup dual screen then compiz fusion? [00:47] I have a notebook with a MCP51 Nvidia Chipset. When I plug the headphones the speakers of the computer keeps working.

[00:47] OK, thanks again, I really appreciate the help I get here. [00:47] ¿No one? [00:47] because i tried and, compiz then dual setup and it didnt work right, so i think maybe has issues? [00:48] dusty_: Yes, there are some restrictions on overall size etc [00:48] howlingmadhowie answers: yes I can brows within ftp on the localhost, and no a can't connect on port 21 [00:48] soundray: I'm saying that ACPIBattery wiki-page seems to have the pre-requisite to have ACPI already working on the ubuntu system... is that correct? if so, it wouldn't work for me, since my ACPI isn't working. [00:48] gilda: my dog is getting ready for her walk. Let me do that and google around a bit. If that doesn't work, maybe I'll catch you, or some other kind soul, some other time. [00:48] Thanks though. [00:48] people hello i have just installed ubuntu linux 7.10 and i can't make the upgrade why? [00:48] howlingmadhowie I'm guessing this is a firewall or router problem of some sort [00:48] Please!!! [00:48] np's gigamonk` [00:48] NachoSama: you are repeating too frequently. Give it at least 10 minutes, so new people have a chance to log on before you repeat. [00:48] Jack_Sparrow: ah... as i had dual workin fine then reinstalled and setup compiz then tried the dual and it messed up. [00:48] Jack_Sparrow: im reinstalling now, going to setup dual screen first, how do i get compiz working AFTER? [00:48] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [00:49] i have this when i type sudo apt-get upgrade [00:49] w0ahsz: did you run `sudo apt-get update` beforehand? [00:49] how to upgrade the box? [00:49] w0ahsz, means all it good [00:49] w0ahsz, did you do sudo apt-get update 1st ? [00:49] if so ur good [00:49] Anyone know where my minimize, close and full screen icons went that are always on the top right of all open applications? They are gone. I have no way of minimizing my programs now? [00:49] gilda: yes i type that [00:49] then ur good to go [00:49] Jack_Sparrow: ? [00:49] dusty_: I am watching the game.. someone will know [00:49] can i paste whats the error? [00:49] russ: you tried telneting in from a client computer to the server on port 21? was the connection refused? [00:49] heres a brain teaser i was playing around with the prerelease repo and a few things broke, so i removed them from my sources so how do i revert all the "updates"? [00:50] w0ahsz, you have no error [00:50] Is there a way I can use aptitude to install programs without having it uninstall a bunch of other things it thinks are useless, or do I have to just use apt-get for that? [00:50] wait i will paste on the site [00:50] w0ahsz, it's telling you there are no new packages available for you to upgrade to [00:50] !paste | w0ahsz [00:50] w0ahsz: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

[00:50] unop: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54653/plain/ [00:50] howlingmadhowie duh... sorry to trouble you but the "firestarter" firewall was on. Odd since I never turned it on - any idea how that could have happened?? [00:50] here thats the error [00:51] w0ahsz: oh, you should add sources from the internet... or do you have dynamic cds? :) [00:51] howlingmadhowie but at any rate the ftp access is working again [00:51] ati sux [00:51] yes i have the CD [00:51] the Cd must be in the cdrom? [00:51] w0ahsz, it looks like you have an incomplete /etc/apt/sources.list -- can you !paste the contents of that file please [00:51] Evening. [00:51] venox: it should work even when you've booted with acpi=off. Once you've recompiled and put the DSDT in place, you should remove that option, obviously [00:51] Hello Friends. I'm having some issues with GDesklets. === Pici` is now known as Pici [00:51] russ: good to know it's working :) maybe the firewall has an entry in /etc/rc2.d [00:51] gilda: I'm trying to reinstall my sound module following the alsa project instructions andi5 posted for me, but I get a error when I try to install the alsa-driver package [00:51] venox: I'm just noticing that these instructions are a bit outdated. [00:51] w0ahsz, you can disable the need for the cd in system>administration>software sources [00:52] w0ahsz: no, but you installed from the cds and every upgrade (see: not newly installed packages) must come from the internet... it is a simple fact that a cd once produced will not change by itself :) [00:52] aha [00:52] venox: what's your make and model? [00:52] gl Geezle [00:52] hey guys [00:52] gilda: I may have run into this problem when I initially installed it and didn't notice it? [00:52] soundray: hmm, ok... but my manufacturer isn't on that list on the website [00:52] so what to do now peopel? [00:52] what to do now people* ? [00:52] how can I see what a program (in cli) left at its return value (the main function) [00:52] howlingmadhowie what would that signify? [00:52] Geezle: i think gilda posted the instructions :-) === Pici is now known as Added [00:52] maybe geezle [00:52] soundray: actually, I wasn't thinking it would be there at all, since it's a brazilian small manufacturer === Added is now known as Pici [00:52] andi5 I must have missed it [00:52] w0ahsz, enable the repositories in system>administration>software and repeat the procedure [00:52] Anyone know where my minimize, close and full screen icons went that are always on the top right of all open applications? They are gone. I have no way of minimizing my programs now? [00:52] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54654/plain/ [00:53] ok I will ask again, I'm not used to IRC's I admit.

[00:53] I'm following the instructions on the alsa project page [00:53] thanks soundray :) [00:53] venox: is it a laptop? [00:53] w0ahsz: lines starting with a '#' are commented out, i.e. they are not active [00:53] soundray: yes [00:53] ok [00:53] howlingmadhowie btw, what are you howlingmad about? [00:53] <{Nathan}> Is there a program I can run to automatically make X start and run a program (freevo) without a WM on boot? [00:53] w0ahsz: simply edit them as root (gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list) and remove the leading hashes whereever you want [00:53] to go now in to software sources? [00:53] a [00:54] aha [00:54] lol [00:54] Is there a way I can just dust ALSA altogether and start from scratch? [00:54] w0ahsz: or activate them within the gui, just as gilda told you [00:54] andi5: can you tell me from which line to remove "#" ? [00:54] Geezle, alsa is in the kernel so....recompile the kernel? [00:54] ubuntu br chanel? [00:54] !br [00:54] Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [00:54] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54653/ [00:54] please tell me [00:54] Geezle, if you dust alsa all together you wont have gnome boot [00:54] w0ahsz, you should use the GUI instead, you are less likely to make mistakes that way [00:55] russ: if there's an entry for firestarter in /etc/rc2.d it would explain why it was started. i got my name because i'm a big fan of howling mad murdock from the a-team and my second name is howard :) [00:55] w0ahsz, enable the repositories in system>administration>software [00:55] unop: you mean software sources?

I will go have a look in rc2.d and see if it's there. Is that some sort of list of things to start at startup? [00:56] unop: do you know if it can run independantly though?

[00:57] Hyuukai: that happens to me as well.. i doubt is suppose to happen though [00:57] LadyNikon, i've never tried xinerama, but from what i hear you can have each head working independantly or together as one [00:57] Jangari: did you try to mount it from the command line? [00:57] ladynikon have you manged to fix it? [00:57] Does anyone know what the difference between the CDrom and DVD versions of Gutsy Gibbon are?

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) [01:01] I just use xchat. I find all the 'neet features' of mirc - are just useless cruft :) [01:01] people can somebody tell me the link of flashplayer ? [01:01] a .deb file only to install it can ? [01:01] russ: booting [01:01] Ok can i do a on connect ? [01:01] I use irssi [01:01] so i can just have it connect to my million channels i want? [01:01] Hello does anybody know transparent proxy for a lan. i followed the tutorials but mine doesnt work? [01:01] russ: you can also enter a runlevel by typing "sudo init X" where X is the runlevel you want to enter [01:02] What is the command to see all open ports and the programs that opened them? [01:02] Hey guys I removed myself from the admin group; how can I get it back? [01:02] Okay, here's the output of what I get when I try to compile alsa-drivers: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54655/ [01:02] server thank you !!!1 [01:02] andi5: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54656/ [01:02] tuna: sudo netstat -tnp [01:02] switch: reboot in single-user mode [01:02] i'll also paste my fstab [01:02] switch_: reboot in single-user mode [01:02] howlingmadhowie so that's kinda weird. I originally had feisty on this machine (it's a Dell laptop that came with it preloaded) and I installed firestarter but then disabled it (since I'm behind a firewall already) [01:02] russ: some runlevels are standardised across all linux distributions, for example runlevel 0 is shutdown, runlevel 6 is restart [01:02] andi5: thanks [01:02] so if i buy the DVD version is it basically the same has having both the server and desktop cdrom editions? with alot more packages? [01:02] Sorry Soundray Topic was clipped so I didn't see the end topic [01:03] russ: maybe it reads a configuration file and the configuration file got changed when you updated to gutsy? i'm guessing here... [01:03] andi5: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54657/ [01:03] ummm whats a really good audio player for ubuntu? maybe one with internet radio and stuff? :S [01:03] Geezle, have you got the kernel headers installed? [01:03] does rhythmbox support radio? [01:03] Hyuukai, check out 'bmpx' - the beep media player [01:03] Geezle, did you install the linux-kernel-headers ? [01:03] Jangari: does that happen with every cdrom? [01:03] !player | Hyuukai [01:03] Hyuukai: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [01:04] i only have one [01:04] it's a new install so possibly not [01:04] Jangari: or is this an audio cd? [01:04] so yes, i suppose [01:04] howlingmadhowie when I rebooted before, it showed "failed" as the result for firestarter, which was just ok, and I didn't notice after updating - but maybe this fixed it anyway, we'll see. thanks for your help [01:04] ah too many! lol [01:04] Hyuukai, a lot of the players support the shoutcast.com stuff also. [01:04] !codecs [01:04] i think i have banshee :S [01:04] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [01:04] Hyuukai, theres never too many. [01:04] Hyuukai, I like Amarok - but the choices are endless [01:04] it was a dvd [01:04] Geezle, it looks like you need them to complete make [01:04] Well when i have loads of options i cry lol [01:04] Guys, does anyone know, if i buy the DVD version is it basically the same has having both the server and desktop cdrom editions? with alot more packages? [01:04] hold on, let me get the dvd again and retry [01:04] Anyone know of a good list of free software web apps? Specifically I'm looking for a linklog or tumbeblog that does not require SQL, and isn't Linkwalla [01:04] IS there one with podcasts built in? [01:04] russ: if you want firestarter not to start, delete the entry in /etc/rc2.d [01:04] Geezle, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic linux-source [01:05] and sudo apt-get install build-essentials [01:05] Also is it at all possibly to get directx running in ubuntu? [01:05] or build-essential [01:05] i have steam and the hl2 mods but they are running in opengl [01:05] i use amarok [01:05] !flash [01:05] russ, howlingmadhowie, errm, you should actually use update-rc.d -- because if the firestarter package is ever updated, the link will reappear [01:05] !flashplayer [01:05] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [01:05] Thanks guys, working on the headers now... [01:06] is there any way to figure out what files an app is trying to access? [01:06] Hyuukai, check the wine sites for details on tweaking those games. [01:06] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [01:06] puff, lsof [01:06] Amarok is hanging on startup; I think it's a deadlock on a file lock or some other resource. [01:06] !appdb | Hyuukai [01:06] this is the command for installing flashplayer and java? [01:06] Hyuukai: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [01:06] Hyuukai: no, directx is a misconception invented by microsoft and does not run under linux.... at least that is my point of view [01:06] hey guys, i'm getting super angry with ubuntu. I bought a new laptop and i can connect to the router via wlan0 and it gives me an ip, but i can't browse the internet [01:06] does anybody know transaprent proxy? [01:06] im using squid, the one with that comes with webmin [01:06] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras --- is this the command for installing flashplayer and java ? [01:06] rcguzon: what is wrong about squid? [01:06] !webmin [01:06] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [01:06] i have tried googling it but nothing has seemed to help, or maybe i'm not searching right [01:06] im such a noob with linux ive just got the gdesklets package now what :S [01:06] manduski, in the network manager make sure to supply the DNS as the router [01:06] time to reboot [01:07] manduski: does the IP begin with 169? [01:07] is there a way to hide join/quit messages in xchat ? [01:07] Dimitree, check xchat's options [01:07] soundray, no it begins with 192 [01:07] well i did but didnt find something like that o-o [01:07] w0ahsz: yes, that's the command. you could also do it with add/remove programs [01:07] Has anyone used gDesklets? [01:07] <{Nathan}> Ubuntu's installed uses UIDs to mount things, regardless of their device. How can I find teh UID of my devices so it does not matter which device node they are on? [01:08] <{Nathan}> installer* [01:08] Hyuukai: they're horrible, use screenlets [01:08] Dimitree, actually, right click on the channel's tab and uncheck "show part/join messages" [01:08] whats BZR [01:08] manduski: can you access remote sites by their IP adress? === Jannita is now known as Johanna [01:08] rainwalker is that like what ma's have that menu bar at the bottom of the screen which can run apps [01:08] thats what i want [01:08] tnx, ill try ebox [01:08] unop, thank you so much :) [01:08] soundray, how do i do that? === Johanna is now known as Jannitax [01:08] Hyuukai: what? [01:09] manduski: enter this as an address in firefox: 66.249.93.104 [01:09] aww this is much much better now :) === Jannitax is now known as Jannita [01:09] manduski: in firefox, enter 193.99.144.85 as the URL [01:09] You know on a mac in the middle bottom of screen there is a bar which has apps on it [01:09] manduski: that should show you the google startpage [01:09] think some one could help me, i'v got like 30gigs of music on another machine, that i don't want to move but i would like to play with amarok? yes there networked (music is shared over samba) [01:09] Is there anything that provides a file hierarchy metaphor UI for the ipod? [01:09] Hyuukai: that's called a dock; look up avant-window-navigator [01:09] manduski, if you nano /etc/resolv.conf does it have nameserver=something ? [01:10] puff: i think amarok does, not sure how well it works though [01:10] gilda: one minor comment... it should be "nameserver something" :-) [01:10] test test sorry :) [01:10] gilda, i get "nameserver 192.168.0.1" [01:10] ah ya andi5 LOL i shoulda checked my own 1st [01:10] {Nathan}, disk UUID's are just symlinks to the various devices in /dev -- they are linked in this directory - /dev/disk/by-uuid [01:11] manduski, is that your router ip ? [01:11] soundray, i get nothing on firefox [01:11] Is there an addon for ubuntu to right click say a file and run as SU [01:11] <{Nathan}> unop_: alright, thanks ^^ [01:11] gilda, yes [01:11] DanThirst: Amarok's pretty nice, but I'm looking for a really simple command line interface for when I just want to put an audio file on the machine. [01:11] manduski, are you using static ip or dhcp ? [01:11] Back in a bit. [01:11] Hyuukai: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=385981 [01:11] Does WINE eat much resources ? [01:11] gilda, dhcp [01:12] manduski: not even an error? [01:12] gnomad [01:12] yeah gnomad [01:12] Dimitree, it depends on what WINE is running .. there's no fixed answer to that question [01:12] Dimitree, compared to what? :) not a whole lot in most cases [01:12] soundray, the clock thing keeps on going (busy, or thinking) [01:12] manduski, can you ping your router ? [01:12] i just don't want to mess up my ubuntu :) i'm linux beginner :) [01:12] manduski: so can you resolve host names? like with `host google.de` ? [01:13] manduski: or .com, whatever you prefer =) [01:13] Dimitree, WINE shouldnt really mess up your ubuntu :) [01:13] wine works fine here Dimitree [01:13] andi5, i can't do anything on the internet...nothing comes up [01:13] ok thank yuo guys i guess i will try it out :) [01:13] gilda, pinging my router doesn't work [01:13] manduski, can you ping your router ? [01:13] Skype for linux simply doesnt do lol [01:14] 100% packet loss [01:14] Dimitree: There are some tricks to protect your system, like not mapping Z and setting up a second user with limited rights.. [01:14] gilda, 100% packet loss [01:14] manduski, wired or wireless ? [01:14] Dimitree: I use skype beta with video in linux, no complaints [01:14] gilda, wireless (internal card that came with laptop) [01:14] Jack_Sparrow, i'm way too noob for that now :) just installed ubuntu :) [01:14] manduski sudo lspci what is the device ? [01:15] Dimitree: You need to go to #winehq .. what you do not know CAN hurt you [01:15] soundray, now firefox displays "the connection has timed out, the server at.... is taking too long to respond [01:15] Jack_Sparrow, wow o-o ok will do thank you [01:15] np [01:15] sup ? [01:15] manduski: you must be able to ping your router or anything beyond that will not work... so pinging the router is 'objective 1' :) [01:15] think some one could help me, i'v got like 30gigs of music on another machine, that i don't want to move but i would like to play with amarok? yes there networked (music is shared over samba) [01:16] hello [01:16] need to troubleshoot internal networking before xternal ;) [01:16] ahoy [01:16] DanThirst, amarok supports networked drives [01:16] ani5, i know, but how can i get it to respond? [01:16] whoaok [01:16] DanThirst, can'T you tell amarok to include those files and folders in the music librairy ? [01:16] manduski, what's the problem? are you trying to setup networking? [01:16] i haev no idea how to do that if i could [01:17] manduski: can you identify your wireless card in the output of lspci? I bet it's Ralink [01:17] i'll look at it again thanks [01:17] What do I have to do make fetchmail run at startup and use the user-settings in ~/.fetchmailrc? [01:17] manduski: are you sure about the ip? what does "route -n" list in the second column of the last row (default gateway)? [01:17] my cpu is at 4%, my ram at 200 megs out of 1.5 gigs; yet my cpu is at 54 deg C, and my gpu is at 56 deg C; i'm on a thinkpad, by the way [01:17] DanThirst, you will have to mount ur samba drives via the fstab to ur local machine then use the mount points as the folders within amarok [01:17] AHHHH fstab [01:17] any idea what might be going on? [01:17] i dun like fstab [01:17] cwgannon: using wrong sensors?

Or both options ? [01:32] well it wont lwt me paste it [01:32] dawiz: syntax is how you structure your sentences, basically how you put your words together [01:32] kenalex: Have you enabled restricted drivers from the menus [01:32] Pelo: either way i'll get the answer I needed, ty!

[01:34] gmcastil, try looking for fetmail articles in the ubuntu wiki page - I can't help you beyond that - I only know how to start a daemon [01:34] no [01:34] no [01:34] !caps | helpme [01:34] helpme: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [01:34] !anyone > helpme (helpme, see the private message from Ubotu) [01:34] Jewfro-Macabbi: i'm trying to start a daemon - i don't want to run it as a user [01:34] !ask | helpme [01:34] helpme: 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. :-) [01:34] common sense? [01:34] re [01:34] where do these people come from [01:34] windows [01:34] *aol.com [01:34] hehe [01:34] Jack_Sparrow:what menu ? [01:34] gmcastil, if the command "sudo /etc/init.d/fetchmail start" doesn't start it - you are beyond my knowledge [01:34] eternal september [01:34] Jewfro-Macabbi: does yours run at startup? [01:34] so can anyone help me with why this is happening? [01:34] hello [01:34] 666_factory_source? [01:35] kenalex: system..admin..restricted driver manager...

[01:35] will nfs work? [01:35] soundray, can you suggest trying something else? [01:35] i am linux fans [01:35] jlulian38: yes [01:35] manduski, I'm not an expert on wireless [01:35] !ot | boy [01:35] boy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [01:35] Oh snap [01:35] Jewfro-Macabbi: for some reason, the fetchmail script looks at /etc/fetchmailrc, which doesn't make any sense - do you have one of those? [01:36] I'm asumming then that is NFS works SSHFS should too [01:36] gilda, can you suggest trying something else [01:36] gmcastil, dunno I've never used that particular app - but I'll look [01:36] Jack_Sparrow:I tried to start it but it brings up a message box saying my system doesn't any restricted drivers [01:36] can anyone tell me what packet system Ubuntu uses before i go dig into endless pages of crap :( Source or Binary [01:36] andi5, can you suggest trying something else [01:36] i need freind,i come from china! [01:36] Jewfro-Macabbi: you've never used fetchmail on ubuntu? [01:36] !ati [01:36] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:36] boy, go back [01:36] Actually though, what do you mount? the mount point or the block device? [01:36] gmcastil, nope [01:36] manduski: hm... have you checked the `ifconfig wlan0` output? [01:36] Paper: dpkg [01:36] uhhhhhh [01:36] my MSN is :aquan147@hotmail.com [01:36] I can't seem to get my wireless setup right [01:36] dawiz: try « sudo sh -c 'echo $PATH' » [01:36] thanx, i'll look into that [01:36] Jewfro-Macabbi: ok..yeah, i need to find someone that's using it - thanks for the help [01:37] It's DHCP, I got my access point name and wep key memorized, [01:37] but it just won't connect. [01:37] Has anyone else been able to get fetchmail to run as a daemon? [01:37] andi5, what am i looking for in particular [01:37] manduski: an ip address [01:37] gmcastil, sorry couldn't be more helpful [01:37] andi5, inet addr: 192.16.0.134 [01:37] Jewfro-Macabbi: np [01:37] Jewfro-Macabbi: i miss some of the simple things in redhat [01:37] andi5, sorry, 192.168.0.134 [01:38] still same error [01:38] dawiz: yes but tell me what the command i gave you *says* [01:38] manduski: did you enter that address or did your router assign it with dhcp? [01:38] gmcastil, you should pay attention to the warning message you get when trying to start the daemon -- fetchmail needs to be configured to monitor an email address/server to work otherwise running it is pointless [01:38] well does someone know how to get my new ubuntu to stay on the web with the wireless adapter coz it keeps on disconnecting and then i need to un plug and plug the wireless adapter to get the connection back for a minute :) [01:38] andi5, my router gave it to me [01:38] nothing [01:38] andi5, via dhcp [01:38] unop__: yeah, i know - but doesn't it get those from the user's .fetchmailrc? [01:39] dawiz: are you sure? sudo sh -c 'echo $PATH' [01:39] i've been having trouble getting an ems usb adapter to work; it's not the problem that i keep finding in web searches, though. it plain doesn't show up (i don't get a js0 device) [01:39] manduski: does `route -n` contain a default gateway? it should be the last line and have UG as Flags [01:39] helpme, it's been mentionned before, I suggest you check in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org I'm sure there is a solution there [01:39] unop__: the init script for fetchmail refers to /etc/fetchmailrc - this isn't mentioned in the man page anywhere and i've never seen it before [01:39] gmcastil, i should assume that's only read if the user invokes fetchmail for private use - it'd be scary/stupid to think a daemon reads a user's configuration file [01:40] should i be typing in in the pastebin thing? [01:40] manduski: oh, actually that is not strict necessary at this point of time... when pings fail we may ping a wrong ip [01:40] the patches and fixes i see seem to be designed for older builds .. this sound any familiar to someone? [01:40] dawiz: it should be just one line, so no [01:40] well i did i didnt find nothing :S [01:40] unop__: uh...i was pretty sure that fetchmail ran and used the user's conf file [01:40] andi5, so....? [01:40] gmcastil, if that's true - then fetchmail is stupid [01:40] unop__: where else would i put the user's configu information? [01:40] manduski: does the output contain a default gw? [01:40] unop__: have you ever used fetchmail? === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:40] gmcastil, no, i've never run fetchmail [01:41] omg xD [01:41] thats what it returned [01:41] * gmcastil can't believe he's the only one in this channel that uses fetchmail [01:41] andi5, there is a lot of numbers, which one am i looking at? [01:41] manduski: the router column [01:41] there's destination, gateway, genmask, flags, metric, ref, use, interface [01:41] oh... gateway then [01:42] gmcastil, but from what i understand of fetchmail - it can run in two ways - as a daemon or a single instance process -- and both modes use different configuration files [01:42] When I test my sound card, I just get a little soft beep. [01:42] manduski: sorry, i run a localized ubuntu here, so i retranslated it incorrectly [01:42] andi5, the first two colums under gateway have 0.0.0.0, the third one has 192.168.0.1 [01:42] All I want is to hear you tube with GG 7.10 [01:42] well bye bye bye and thanx for no help lol [01:42] I've been googling and trying stuff for about 2 hours [01:42] no luchk [01:42] http://ebupof.deviantart.com/art/Linux-Desktop-17-June-2007-57747519 [01:43] manduski: and when you run `ping 192.168.0.1`, you get 100% packet loss? [01:43] What script is that, to show the information in the terminal [01:43] any ideas [01:43] http://ebupof.deviantart.com/art/Linux-Desktop-17-June-2007-57747519 [01:43] actually it doesn't seem to even recognize it as a usb hid device [01:43] I'm good at troubleshooting network stuff, but not sound [01:43] LjL? [01:43] andi5, yeah, it just hangs until i "ctrl-C" it [01:43] why wont moto4lin connect to my phone? [01:43] dawiz, i still haven't seen the output from my command. are you *sure* there is no output? what about « echo $PATH » ? [01:44] manduski: may you paste the output of `iwconfig wlan0` for me? [01:44] manduski: not here, of course :) [01:44] this is the output /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin [01:44] andi5, where? [01:44] unop__: hm...in that case, the daemon would use the conf file in /etc/fetchmailrc and the user space process would use $HOME/.fetchmailrc [01:44] dont know why it was posting so weird [01:44] !paste > manduski [01:44] di5, [01:44] http://ebupof.deviantart.com/art/Linux-Desktop-17-June-2007-57747519 [01:45] andi5, what? i'm not familiar with that lingo [01:45] lol [01:45] manduski: did ubotu contact you? [01:45] andi5, kinda [01:45] lol [01:45] !lol | manduski [01:45] manduski: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [01:46] andi5, so i paste it under the url that ubotu gave me? [01:46] http://ebupof.deviantart.com/art/Linux-Desktop-17-June-2007-57747519 [01:46] echo $PATH » ? returned this: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games » ? [01:46] codename, that looks like conky [01:47] manduski: yes, once pasted you can post the url here, so that we can click on it and see your paste [01:47] No, the one in the terminal. [01:47] It says what Distro he has, and everything. [01:47] Weird.

[01:51] manduski: i do not understand that question [01:51] dawiz: wow, it took long to get that from you. well, it's what it should return... so if you type « which chroot », it also returns something, right? [01:51] if anyone wants to help me this is the screen i get when i try to connect my Motokrzr with moto4lin [01:51] Wow that's my question too.

[01:53] andi5: its doing ok so far [01:53] fatejudger, I don'T think you can set permisions for ntfs drives, or at least not thedrive themselves, you might wantto try to set it for the mountpoint [01:53] also dawiz do you notice that i always use your nickname when talking to you? there is a reason for that [01:53] marshall: it is a Network :D iva :) [01:53] err [01:53] Pelo: do I have to edit the fstab to do that?

[02:01] kenalex: glad you got it going [02:01] kenalex: did that page help [02:01] yes [02:01] tarvid, i must be a root [02:01] hi i have a conundrum can anyone help [02:01] tarvid, i can't use sudo because the time is not okay [02:01] Jewfro-Macabbi: ...yeah, this page does the same thing - it uses the /etc/fetchmailrc on a user basis, so it only works for a single user - you have to put your username/password in that file....dumb [02:01] sudo apt-get install ntp [02:01] tarvid: so not even `sudo -i` works, i assume? [02:02] !ask | yusuo [02:02] yusuo: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [02:02] is there an equivelant to wine but for mac? [02:02] tarvid, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54664/plain/ [02:02] How do I add a user to a group with the terminal? [02:02] wheneva i open a folder i lose the ability to minimize, maximize, everything.

[02:02] tsrk adduser [02:02] tsrk: sudo adduser $user $group [02:02] the files from /etc/xdg/compiz/ have all disappeared, I suspect the ati fglrx uninstaller deleted them -- what do I have to apt-get install --reinstall to get them back??? [02:03] would using 'noapic' at boot up have anything to do with wireless modem not working? [02:03] gilda: you still here? [02:03] wheneva i open a folder i lose the ability to minimize, maximize, everything. I cant see the bars at the top and bottom either, all this until i close the folder by, file>close PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP [02:03] which config file to activate two X window logins, ie ctrl+F7 and ctrl+F8 ? i only have one now [02:03] i mean like if wine = windows then ???=mac [02:03] thanks a ton :) [02:03] can wine run under osx? [02:03] tsrk: make sure you login the user again, in case of X this means logout from the graphical console [02:03] gigamonkey, i know you're good helper look here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54664/plain/ and tell me what to do please.

[02:10] did u mean emerald --replace [02:11] zcat[1], manual install w/the file from the adobe site is easy and works [02:11] yusuo [02:11] dawiz: put it after all those lines that begin with # [02:11] yusuo [02:11] How do I apt-get something along withh all the lib's it depends on?

[02:12] Jewfro-Macabbi: yeah, but I've been telling ppl 'you just tick the box and t installes" .. but that doesn't work for flash.. it makes Linux look hard again :( [02:12] tinman, apt-get will get the things a program requires [02:12] tinman, but you can also include the --with-recommends switch [02:12] yup but didnt do anything [02:12] LjL> apt-get downloads sources or precompiled binaries ? [02:12] Paper: precompiled [02:12] ahh, thanks :> [02:12] binaries [02:12] blah [02:12] Paper: apt-get install ... precompiled... apt-get source ... sources [02:12] okay [02:12] zcat[1], the manual install is no harder than the windows manual install... [02:12] stoopid adobe, we try so hard to make ubuntu 'just work' and they keep screwing it up [02:12] I know this isn't an official flash fix.. but I did use it.. The workaround I used is to first go to synaptic, select the flashplugin-nonfree package and then mark it for *complete* removal. Then install the hardy flashplugin, http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10761023/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_i386.deb [02:13] Paper, i see you are in #gentoo already... if you want that sort of thing, you know where to look. if you just want to download a source package in ubuntu, though, you can always « apt-get source » [02:13] Jewfro-Macabbi: for you and me, sure.. but for the 'linux is hard' crowd, if they have to open a terminal they'll go straight back to 'doze [02:13] aye, been using gentoo for several years allready and i really like emerge thing. [02:13] Hey, me again. I still can't compile alsa-driver. I have all the proper headers installed (AFAIK) but I still get the same error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54655/ [02:13] can someone please check which package installs /etc/xdg/compiz/compiz.ubuntu? [02:13] zcat[1], then perhaps that's where they should be :) [02:13] I'm thoroughly confused [02:13] How can i change my default web browser from Firefox to opera ? [02:14] rbrtw: compiz-core [02:14] thanks [02:14] Jewfro-Macabbi: that doesn't help solve bug #1 [02:14] bruenig: so how does wpa_supplicant relate to the Network Settings app? [02:14] zcat[1], sorry bug #1? I missed that? [02:14] Dimitree: system > preferences > preferred applications [02:14] bug #1: Windows is still the dominant OS [02:14] thank you lufis [02:15] hey, does anybody here have experiance with dualbooting xp 64bit with grub? [02:15] Paper: well, if you want APT to build from source, it's easy enough really. « sudo apt-get build-dep ; apt-get --build source ; sudo dpkg -i » [02:15] I did apt-get install --reinstall compiz-core and still no /etc/xdg/compiz/compiz-manager.ubuntu [02:15] Geezle: Here is the best sound help page I can find.. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems [02:15] gigamonkey, I don't know, I don't use the network settings app, I can be sure that the network settings app simply front ends for it though and so if you are having problems, it is always good to see if it is the front ends fault or not [02:15] after all the #'s ? [02:15] Paper: but compiling from source means that you need all the (pretty large, usually) library headers installed that the package needs, aside from the fact that, well, you need to wait for it to compile. most users don't want that, they have no reason to. [02:16] rbrtw: why do you think it should be there? [02:16] Jack_Sparrow: thanks, but I've been there and tried that. I'm seriously running out of ideas. Recompiling ALSA might do the trick if I could only get it to compile [02:16] !m4p [02:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about m4p - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:16] LjL> allright, thanx for the detailed explanation. I prefer sources due to custom compile flags. [02:16] andi5: it's run from compiz-manager -- what do you have in /etc/xdg/compiz/ ? [02:16] the is what the first part of the file looks like: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54665/ [02:17] rbrtw: only compiz-manager... but this is hardy here [02:17] dawiz: yes - you can see that the first 9 lines do begin with #. put it on the 10th line. [02:17] andi5: what does compiz-manager look like? [02:17] how can I get LWP::UserAgent in dapper? [02:17] hi [02:18] does anybody know where xchat keeps its icons? Id like to change the tray icon so badly [02:18] marshall: ~/.xchat ? [02:18] christ this is irritating [02:18] rbrtw: http://pastebin.ca/raw/890794 [02:18] how would i install an older revision of ubuntu? :| [02:18] evenant: how?..download a cd and install it ? [02:18] !pinning | evenant [02:18] evenant: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [02:19] lufis: lol no, they arent in there [02:19] so create a # on the 10th line? [02:19] bruenig: Is there somewhere that explains the various bits that Network Settings is fronting for? [02:19] LjL* [02:19] dawiz: NO [02:19] any decent way to convert m4p files? [02:19] ifconfig, route, and wpa_supplicant? [02:19] gigamonkey, how are you trying to set it up now [02:19] dawiz: just put it on the first line *after* the lines that begin with # [02:19] marshall: try /usr/share/icons or something [02:20] just exit 0 LjL? [02:20] osmosis: yeah, and which cd? :| [02:20] gilda: I discovered that I can connect using WPA Personal as long as the passphrase on the access point has no spaces in it. [02:20] gigamonkey, not sure, it is probably python, so you canr ead it [02:20] read8 [02:20] i can't burn but i can apt, let's see what this page has to say [02:20] dawiz: yes [02:20] exit 0 [02:20] evenant: whatever version you want. [02:20] nice - ya spaces throw everything thru a loop [02:20] hmm, is there anybody here that could help me with dual booting with xp? ive checked the forums and a few other places, and no matter what i try, i cant get it to work properly [02:20] forgive i follow directions well but manually editing files i green at best [02:20] my point is *i* don't know which version i want [02:20] thanks [02:20] i want one where the usb hid interface works [02:20] :P [02:20] so are you routing correctly now gigamonkey ? [02:20] the ati driver installer crapped all over my system configuration :O [02:20] Mirado_tsw, which order did you install Windows and Ubuntu? [02:21] cdubya, create a shells script with this: for i in *.m4a do faad -o - "$i" | lame -h -b 192 - "${i%m4a}mp3" done [02:21] xp then ubuntu [02:21] Mirado_tsw: single drive or dual, windows on first or second.. someone will help [02:21] whats the best Anti-Virus app for linux? [02:21] !best > zetheroo (zetheroo, see the private message from Ubotu) [02:21] !virus > zetheroo (zetheroo, see the private message from Ubotu) [02:21] Is it possible to catch a Virus on Ubuntu ? or spyware ? or trojan ? like in windows ? [02:21] zetheroo: None needed [02:21] single drive, windows in first part its a sata drive [02:21] Mirado_tsw, it sounds like grub wasn't installed [02:21] Mirado_tsw: normally, dual-boot will be automatic .. [02:21] grub works [02:21] Jewfro-Macabbi, it will work with the m4a in the statement? [02:21] Mirado_tsw, do you get a grub prompt when restarting? [02:22] Dimitree, installing debs especially ones not in the repositories opens you up for that [02:22] yes [02:22] Dimitree, if you install wine you can catch windows viruses in that [02:22] I need one for the purpose of scanning portable drives which come from Windows machines [02:22] ok edited [02:22] but when i boot xp it says starting xp... then just sits there [02:22] oh well, here goes nothing [02:22] Mirado_tsw, does Windows or Other OS show up in the menu? [02:22] yes [02:22] now just do apt-get uninstall scanlogd? [02:22] cdubya, tweak as needed [02:22] gilda, will the virus cose harm outside wine ? [02:22] zetheroo: sudo apt-get install clamav avscan [02:22] LjL* [02:22] dawiz: yes try that [02:22] cdubya, make it executable and run [02:22] ok [02:23] Jewfro-Macabbi, so just change the file extension to .m4p, make it executable, and then run? [02:23] bruenig: do you happen to know where it would live? [02:23] Mirado_tsw, but it will boot into Linux if you select one of the Linux kernels? [02:23] gigamonkey, no clue [02:23] yes [02:23] Dimitree, no it is attacking the windows only files aka the wine files [02:23] does clamav have a gui? [02:23] No worries. I'll find it. [02:23] it boots linux just fine [02:23] cdubya, that is an audo file yes? I assume that's what your trying to do? t [02:23] Dimitree: If you have mapped root to Z drive and the user you use to run programs with wine has that access, there are dangers.. It is documented and you can ask in winehq [02:23] ok. thanks [02:23] gilda, thats fine by me lool .... ;) thank you [02:23] !info clamtk > zetheroo [02:23] wow ubuntu is crazy (in a good way that is :)) .the ubuntu package installer is integrated in firefox to download pluggins like flash player [02:23] zetheroo: try « apt-cache rdepends clamav » [02:24] errr remove not uninstall heh? LjL* [02:24] Jewfro-Macabbi, yeah, they're audio files [02:24] ok Jack_Sparrow ! Thank you [02:24] dawiz: ah well yes [02:24] cdubya, it may not work - but it was worth a shot - there's a graphical program for doing it also soundconverter [02:24] dawiz: and add sudo too [02:24] np [02:24] ok [02:24] Mirado_tsw, this will be unpleasant to fix, you could save off the boot loader and partition tables with dd, repair windows, then copy the boot loader back [02:24] SoundConverter handles m4p files? [02:25] Dimitree: If you can even get a virus to run in wine (deliberately) you'll be doing quite well.. once it's running, it has access to whatever files wine does... AFAIK the default setting has your home directory as a virtual drive, so it could in theory damage any file in your home directory.. [02:25] cdubya, not sure I just did an aptitude search for soundconverter - doesn't list all the formats it handles [02:25] ok, thanks [02:25] right [02:25] Mirado_tsw, you might try smart boot manager [02:25] was just being overly sure [02:26] in theory zcat[1] but most of ur files in your home drive will not affect your linux install if its a windows specific virus = but u could pass the files along with the infection to a windows user [02:26] tarvid: thats gibberish to me (this is my first time trying to use something other than windows) [02:26] hey he's everyone doing...I've got a quick question hoping someone can point men in the right direction [02:26] sorry if it seems im asking stupid questions [02:26] no stupid questions - only stupid answers [02:26] @list [02:26] Admin, Bantracker, Bugtracker, Channel, Config, Encyclopedia, Filter, FreenodeAuth, Lart, Math, Mess, Misc, Owner, Services, User, and Webcal [02:26] smart boot manager? as an alternative to grub? [02:26] zcat[1], O___O nuuuuu not antivirus programs again :[ [02:26] * Dimitree crys [02:26] agreed gilda [02:26] Mirado_tsw, http://sourceforge.net/projects/btmgr/ [02:27] thx [02:27] #list [02:27] dont need scanlogd really anywaydo i? [02:27] Mirado_tsw: that is usually a no brainer of a dual boot... did you change where it wrote grub? [02:27] I hooked up my 32 inch monitor to my computer,and have a ati x1300 video card. I can only get 800x600 resolution ..and wanted to see if someone can help me how to get 1024x768 [02:27] gilda: if you get a windows virus that overwrites files with garbage.. and it has write access to ~ through H: in wine, I'd expect that it can therefore overwrite important files in your home dir.. [02:27] I'm on the livecd in irssi on vt2 now, I can't get X to start to install ubuntu on this system. I have intel integrated graphics 82845G/GL graphics [02:27] firestarter should find portscans [02:28] i have a weird problem [02:28] I have some crappy emachine, with 2ghz, and 512 megs of ram [02:28] i have an executable, but every time i try to run it it says it's not there [02:28] gilda: all highly theoretical though, generally viruses use weird api's and totally fail to run at all in wine [02:28] jacksparrow: no [02:28] Mirado_tsw: go to a terminal gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and post it to the pastebin.. NOT in the channel, then give us the link. [02:28] Mirado_tsw, is that Vista? [02:28] zcat[1], quite possibly but ive never encountered it when attracting virii thru wine - but theres bound to be something that could be painful [02:28] tanath: type ./executablename [02:28] andi5 [02:28] tarvid : no xp 64bit [02:28] i can change it's properties, list it, etc., but whenever i try to run it it says not found [02:29] andi5, did you take a look at the pasted text? [02:29] that helps [02:29] robdig, uh, yeah, that's what i was doing [02:29] oh i forgot, also i tried to configure the tv monitor, but it only labels it as generic, and since it's a tv set i doubt that there are drivers for it. How can i configure so i have bigger resolution? [02:29] robdig, even tried with the path [02:29] The only thing I have in Xorg.0.log is WW V_BIOS bad checksum, [02:29] gilda: it's routing fine as long as I can connect which I can do when the access point is open or set up with a WPA personal passphrase with no spaces in it. [02:29] even used tab completion so i know it's there [02:29] tanath: is it executable? [02:29] what's the command to bring up the gui for wine? [02:29] robdig, yep [02:29] bruenig's theory is that Network Settings is dorking up the passphrase somehow. [02:29] does ubuntu have a serious issue with copying files larger than 4gb? [02:29] I'm checking out that theory now. [02:29] robdig, chmod +x worked on it fine, but i can't execute it 'cause it says it's not there [02:29] Mirado_tsw: go to a terminal sudo fdisk -l last letter is L would also be helpful to see in the pastebin. [02:30] silent_, not in my experience [02:30] i've never seen this before [02:30] Mirado_tsw, then I would assume you would survive a Linux reload [02:30] Does anyone have any experience in configuring ATI Radeon dual screen setup and Compiz fusion? [02:30] jack# [02:30] apt-get seems to be working again [02:30] Jack_Sparrow: can u help me now?

[02:34] Is there a general way to find the source for a given program (/usr/bin/network-admin in this case) [02:34] LjL: well when can i expect it?i suck at compiling stuff, im one of those ppl who learns by doing really well but needs absoulute step by step(type in this, then this) to get the hang of something [02:34] The most annoying thing in the world is windows users panicking because "omfg there's a root server attacking my box on port 53!!" [02:34] gilda, for connecting to the internet [02:34] jacksparrow : and the fdisk http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54666/ [02:34] I.e. is there some package I should install that would have the source? [02:34] gilda, still can't connect [02:34] Mirado_tsw: So, you cant get into ubuntu on the hd either? then it is time to reinstall...

[02:37] hello people [02:37] gilda, but i do see it under lshw on the last block where "*-network" is [02:37] robdig, uh, it's my home directory [02:37] less unnecesary headaches [02:37] and great docs [02:37] robdig, and if i didn't how would other apps be able to do stuff to it? like chmod +x [02:37] gimme sec manduski [02:38] Jack_Sparrow: it brings up a blank document.. i installed grub to... the mbr [02:38] robdig, but yes, i checked and i do [02:38] tanath: on directories x lets you do stuff to items in it, but if you can't read a file...chmod would not be reading the file...just a thought [02:38] robdig, perms look good [02:38] i have a question, does ubuntu 7.10 has the last nvidia restricted drivers or i should download them from nvidia site? [02:38] Mirado_tsw: That doc should not be blank.. check the path [02:38] manduski, is it built in or pcmcia ?

[02:39] i even copied it off the irc and tryed it [02:39] LjL well i reinstalled it, and it says its already in use by a system user [02:39] tx Frogzoo, but i have a old gforce4 card, should i donwload them anyways? [02:40] Mirado_tsw: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [02:40] robdig, it makes no sense. i even use the full path and use tab completion so i know i'm getting it right, but it always says 'file or directory not found' [02:40] aalready exists as a system user [02:40] tanath: does it have a space in the name?

[03:14] I don't do anything anymore... everything updates automatically, there's no scans to do, problems never occur... linux makes me lazy [03:14] m1r: advice - use mplayer, from all the video players for linux, this is the best one. I even run it on my internet tablet [03:14] I have a very very old computer, and I would like to load ubuntu on it. What is the minimum ram memory needed to run ubuntu on a X32 PC?

[03:27] well at least you can try that until the release comes out :) [03:27] they are flaming linux [03:27] Ububegin: are you sure you need to do that? Most apps are set up correctly if you simply run sudo update-alternatives --config java (and if you do ls -l you'll see one is a link to the other) [03:27] !minimal [03:27] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

[03:35] i dunno [03:35] if I run an GUI program with sudo, it usually seems to run fine... is it actually unstable? [03:36] neeto: not unstable, but don't save any preferences when you run with sudo. It will make your prefs owned by root and you can't change them as the normal user [03:36] any one a printer guru? [03:36] !gksu | neeto [03:36] neeto: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [03:36] !anyone | Damoochr_ [03:36] Damoochr_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[03:37] nickrud: but running gksu will still save my prefs as the the non-superuser user? [03:37] what programs are you guys using to play video streams like winamp in ubuntu ? [03:37] video streams ? i use mplayer [03:37] neeto, it's gksudo not gksu [03:37] gilda , how do you get some kind of list of streams in mplayer ? [03:38] neeto: no, they will be saved as the root user [03:38] ok, does any one know how to get my laser jet 2600n working ? I have 2 computers one running 7.04 and one 7.1 [03:38] neeto: but it will not change the owner? [03:38] o u want pre fabbed lists mlr ?

[03:38] Jack_Sparrow ouuu i'm at root :)) thank you very much sorry :) [03:39] ah yes gilda [03:39] shiwaraya: you should remove it from /etc/fstab [03:39] is there any well supported bluetooth printer? [03:39] gilda , like list of avilable streams i have shown in winamp [03:39] i can't believe no one has had problems with the X process [03:39] shiwaraya, you will need to make sure the hdd is not called in the /etc/fstab [03:39] Damoochr_: I'd connect the printer local to 7.10, and use it as a print server to 7.04 [03:39] shiwaraya: or put a # at the beginning of the line if you plan on putting it back some day [03:39] WhoNeedszzz: is the process just called X? [03:39] i dont know how winamp puts the lists [03:39] danbhfive, aye [03:40] Damoochr_: or does the laser jet have its own ip? [03:40] Hi. Anybody get the message "Error opening supplicant global control interface." when trying to connect to a WPA encrypted wireless network with network-manager/nm-applet, and possibly a way to fix it? Thanks. [03:40] gilda , it just reads available streams , video or audio [03:40] does nfs have file size limits on transfers?

Are you running vanilla ubuntu? [03:43] well i can plug in a wire...but will it still give me these errors? it just repeats itself while loading the live CD [03:43] I read Linux file system is much diferent than windows and that i can mount any storage hardware in any filesystem folder. Why the mount in /dev and /media? i dont really understand that concept [03:43] sorry frog, [03:43] danbhfive, i'm running Xubuntu [03:43] can anyone help me...watching a video from a cd (avi) through vlc player and the video gets really blurry (no audio probs) [03:43] WhoNeedszzz: oh [03:43] im just wondering if it will ever get past this stage even if i plug a cable in [03:43] does the livecd start though monschein ? [03:43] had some trash in note pad [03:43] updating the repos didn't seem to do the trick. transcode still seems to require libquicktime0. [03:43] monschein: that error will be fixed if you do the steps given by that link you were given. It's just a lot easier if you get net with a wire [03:43] WhoNeedszzz maybe something to do with your graphics driver? [03:43] L3ttuc3, nope, just installed the latest [03:44] WhoNeedszzz: well, if it does shutdown X server, its no big deal at all, al your programs will close, but X should restart [03:44] Damoochr_: did you install it as jet direct connection? [03:44] Frogzoo: I can print thru a win 2k laptop just fine [03:44] the livecd starts but doesnt get too far after i select "start/ install ubuntu". right after it detects my display settings it starts giving me those errors via CLI [03:44] Frog: yes jet direct [03:44] after the errors does it boot to the desktop though monschein ?

[03:47] danbhfive: it was, but I just fixed the problem anyway.

[03:56] gilda: so i have to build those menus before even running the interface, do i build them from gnome or at konsole? [03:57] hmmm is what the man page says flacom [03:57] Just a general question.

[03:58] yeah [03:58] ill figure it out; ive gotten through worse [03:58] gilda: tx gilda, sorry i didn't look at it, i though the interface would work out of the box with some default menus [03:58] igors: use 'sudo shutdown' [03:58] Aquahallic, if you nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf you can see what file your xorg is calling [03:58] :( [03:59] help me plz [03:59] simple home network, 3 computers thru a lynksys router [03:59] It's amazing how easy using Linux can be.

You may want to check it out, to see what they've done [04:00] #windows actually help more O_O [04:00] hi [04:00] Frogzoo, is possible to pass a root passord "inline"? like "su - --password=secret [04:00] is there some one from planet ubuntu?

This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. Fixes have landed in -proposed for testing, but most most users are advised to wait until packages are approved and released in -updates. [04:02] albertmk: why is that bad? [04:02] nvu - screem - bluefish look them up albertmk to see which would suit u best [04:02] I spent to much time [04:02] *spend [04:03] Frogzoo: thanks I will try that approach [04:03] thanks gilda [04:04] how do you install flash? on ubuntu? [04:04] Celes, download it from the adobe website, extract it, run the installer [04:04] um, flashplayer fomr the website is broke, the mdchecksum is bad [04:04] can some one help me with a home network, I have 3 computers (2 ubuntu and 1 win 2k) and a network printer. all have internet access but cant see each other, nor can I print except the win 2k. [04:04] Celes: the flash installation is currently broken; if you must (just cannot wait a day or three) then go to adobe and download it and install it yourself [04:05] flash installation has been broken for a good 2 or 3 weeks [04:05] furthermore, you should not wait for software because of incompetent ubuntu packagers [04:06] Celes: repeating your question will not fix it any faster--just best be patient or read how to do it yourself--or if you a completely new user--read up on it and ask more informed questions [04:06] anyone help? [04:06] ahhh [04:06] !anyone | Zelda [04:06] Zelda: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [04:06] Celes: just enable the proposed repo, and install nonfree-flash, or whatever its called [04:06] its not working [04:06] :( [04:06] Damoochr_, if you want all the computers to be able to see eachother then you will probably want to install a samba server so the win box has access [04:06] yeah I cant even do that [04:07] thanks, but i did ask my question and noone responded [04:07] my brother deleted my windows [04:07] and im stuck with ubuntu [04:07] Celes: its not working is not much of an informed question [04:07] pluggin in headphones doesn't disable my laptop speakers as it should, any ideas? [04:07] Celes, google flash linux, get the tar.gz and go from there [04:07] Celes: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [04:07] anyone mess with themes? === neeto_ is now known as neeto [04:07] gilda: win box is only a laptop for work, not usually on the network unless I need internet [04:07] zelda that is your question? [04:07] flashplugin-nonfree doesn't work too well, [04:08] no. [04:08] im seein if someone knows about it [04:08] there's another better way, hold on Celes, lemme find it [04:08] well get to the point Zelda [04:08] lol [04:08] bazhang you mess with compiz at all? [04:08] Zelda: if you install a theme and it doesn't quite do it for you, just install a different one [04:08] zelda many have installed themes yes [04:08] Gilda: all I really want to do is to print from the ubuntu box's, Frogzoo said my network is not set up right as I can not ping the printer [04:08] Aquahallic: sure--do you have an issue?

[04:10] just teh x-server, not the computer [04:10] yes... [04:10] k Damoochr_ you will need to declare the default gw on both nix boxes [04:10] all my network connections keep working, thankfully [04:10] not the proprietary though [04:10] gilda: gw?? [04:11] I Have a Radeon 9200 and only works with Radeon driver [04:11] gateway sorry [04:11] !who | Aquahallic Zelda [04:11] Aquahallic Zelda: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[04:11] STOP with the lame stuff.

I was asking you about compiz and ATI...:) [04:12] how do i change colors on the windows in explorer and the workspace colors?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [04:12] Damoochr_, what is ur routers IP address ? [04:12] the instructions, Celes, down the page, are pretty clear, [04:12] hahaha [04:12] idiot [04:12] Hey guys, need to get my girlfriends laptop on ubuntu working perfectly.

Can someone please help me get a hot girl on nix :d [04:13] kisu: but she's off the market though, so no ;-) [04:13] gilda: I'm guessing Damoochr's router does dhcp for his lan - does the printer get its ip from dhcp? [04:13] !webcam | kisu [04:13] kisu: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [04:13] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04/alpha-4/ <-- wait a second [04:13] of course.. noone can helo [04:13] er helop [04:13] kisu: seriously though, does /dev/video0 show up?

[04:13] Does anyone have any suggestions as to why I can access certain WiFis under XP but not under Ubuntu? My signal strength just isn't strong enough under Ubuntu to connect to a network. [04:13] HAHAH [04:13] Aquahallic: I'm not much help with ati as I have an nvidia; there is a special channel for compiz you might want to visit though #compiz-fusion , or other folks here might have a clue [04:14] Lol men's desperation [04:14] !talk [04:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about talk - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:14] yes but if he is declaring static ip addressing for his network then he needs to have the gateway set up - he will route as it is set up for the DNS in the resolv.conf but he will not connect to the other systems [04:14] bazhang... BEAUTIFUL... Thanks...;) [04:14] With audacity, I can't see the "Change Pitch" effect that the documentation claims exists - any ideas why? [04:14] np [04:14] Zelda: relax [04:14] Celes: save the download somewhere, then in a terminal, navigate to it, then type "sudo rpm -Uvh [package name]" and it should be fine [04:14] Aquahallic: [04:14] and at this time he is unable to go thru the router as he cannot ping it [04:14] Zelda: try emerald [04:14] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04/alpha-4/hardy-server-i386.iso <-- Nice!

Been searching for ages. Was wondering if anyone knew any drivers i could compile for it! [04:15] lol sorry for the drop of info Frogzoo [04:15] shiwaraya... ?? [04:15] does that couldnt? [04:15] can I restore grub stage 1 from stage 2? [04:15] zelda please stop abusing the bot [04:15] go ahead and post !abuse [04:15] count* [04:15] Aquahallic: if your Radeon is 9200 PRO there is no way to get all 3d performance u need for compiz [04:15] justinmiller87: doubt it's a power issue, but you can try "iwconfig eth0 txpower 30mW" [04:15] gilda gilda ip for router is 168.192.1.1 [04:15] quaal, what needs to be explained in that screenshot? [04:15] not even the desktop cube will work even though glxgears will [04:15] quaal, looks like a picture [04:15] Damoochr_: you mean 192.168.1.1 ?? [04:15] Celes: that's fine, unzip it somewhere, remember where [04:15] * Celes is freaking out because she cant get flash anywhere [04:15] quaal, of .png format [04:15] rekon, the fact that i have ownership (dephserv) in terminal, and root has ownership in nautilus. [04:16] no more youtube videos for me [04:16] k and Damoochr_ if you run ifconfig on your linux systems do they follow the ip structure for your network ? [04:16] goodbye [04:16] LOL yeah drunk finger after superbowl [04:16] then, Celes, navigate to it in a terminal and type this: "./flashplayer-installer" [04:16] Damoochr_: otherwise, there's your problem right there [04:16] Thanks for the sugestion Frogzoo [04:16] Zelda: look for emerald in synaptic, and please try to be nicer to the people here [04:16] I assume you chose the .tar.gz? [04:16] Celes: do you have all the repos enabled? [04:16] whats a repo? [04:16] kisu: maybe check the v4l project's website [04:16] shiwaraya I have everything working for the most part... only problem I'm having is black screen playing a video when spinning my cube around... when I stop the cube and it settles on a desktop... the video pops up fine [04:16] I have a very strong feeling that if I re boot I won't be able to get back on [04:16] repo = repository [04:16] I like humanazul [04:16] kdub, will do, thanks [04:16] danbhfive: s/he had problems with the flashplugin-nonfree, naturally, since it's crap, i'm showing her the way that works [04:17] Jangari: but an rpm with ubuntu? ;] [04:17] dn4, the fact that i have ownership (dephserv) in terminal, and root has ownership in nautilus. [04:17] ohh, then yours is a Radeon 9200 (not PRO). That card is reported to work correctly with compiz [04:17] Jangari: there is a new version in gutsy-proposed that works for me... and yes, I know, "works for me" [04:17] well, the .tar.gz [04:17] !font [04:17] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [04:17] Zelda: and i like wiiblack, with crystal icons [04:17] Is there a reason why Synaptic uses so much CPU time while downloading files? Here it's using ~12.5kHz/byte. [04:17] please can some one point on the right direction to restore stage 1 or is ther a grub irc any one know about? [04:17] hrmm... when I do a lspci it shows that it's a Radeon 9600.. but I KNOW it's a 9200 [04:18] PKdoR: #grub [04:18] Kuwanger, becuz its trying to get ur stuff in asap and its using all ur power to do it [04:18] hanks [04:18] PKdoR: this is a dual boot? [04:18] i've installed flashplugin-nonfree on about 7 computers unsuccessfully, by contrast, the tarball from adobe has worked 7 times [04:18] join #grub [04:18] gilda i got it to work on my other laptop; my life is complete...dual boot [04:18] quaal, so you are looking @ the command prompt [04:18] wohoo enjoy monschein [04:18] Jangari: then celes is lucky ;] [04:18] quaal, then perhaps the commands? [04:18] I have both esd and alsa, I think. It occasionally causes problems with the sound. When I've looked into uninstalling esd, there are a buncha packages depending on it, so I've put it off until now. I'd like to finally get this done toight. Familiar with this? [04:18] dn4, yes, the command prompt, or terminal, is in the picture. [04:18] bazhang: yes it is [04:18] Novice user here... Have read and implemented suggestions on "Playing Restricted Formats" with no luck. Any suggestions? [04:19] paul__: what version? [04:19] PKdoR: which installed first? [04:19] gilda: Um, do the math. 12.5kHz/byte works out to be 65mHz for dialup and 1.5gHz for 120KB/s. [04:19] 7.10 [04:19] Okay it apparently installed in terminal [04:19] paul__: And what restricted formats are you having problems with? [04:19] dn4, do you have any idea what you're talking about or are you just speaking at me randomly [04:19] and when I got to my video [04:19] it said install missing plugin [04:19] so I go there and it said already installed and nothing works [04:19] puff: Store bought DVD movies. [04:19] gilda: In short, there's no reason for the downloading in itself to take up that much CPU time. [04:19] paul__: Hm, same region as you? [04:19] well thats just insanity Kuwanger - but not sure how to fix it [04:20] 'in terminal'? which method did you try, Celes? [04:20] quaal, I see this picture which shows me that you are in IRC, along with killer clowns from Outter Space. [04:20] !medibuntu | paul__ have you tried this? [04:20] paul__ have you tried this?: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [04:20] www.medibuntu.org paul__ will have the package you need ;] [04:20] puff: I THINK so... The DVD's play in my regular DVD players. [04:20] Aquahallic: im sorry i cannot help u more in that problem. I had a 9200 Pro and after huge brain burning i decided to get a second hand nvidia gforce4 (old card) for 15$ and i solved all my headaches [04:20] dn4, thanks anyways. [04:20] well I hit the installer thing I found [04:20] bazhang: hd0 [acronis tools] hd1 [vista] hd2 [Ubun]tu [04:20] paul what player are you trying to use ? [04:20] do you wish to install y/n/ something else and I said y enter [04:20] and then it said installed [04:20] Perhaps I should try to track down synaptic's maker. [04:21] could someone explain as to why i've got ownership in the terminal as my username, yet in nautilus its still saying root has ownership? http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/1358/screenshot1bf2.png [04:21] PKdoR: ubuntu installed first then vista trashed grub? [04:21] Celes: i'm privating you, go there [04:21] Celes: what does this command say: ls ~/.mozilla/plugins [04:21] kisu: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=289836&highlight=vaio+sz+camera&page=6 [04:21] kuwanger likely a server issue and not synaptic [04:21] no [04:21] I've installed cairo-dock, and uninstalled it, because it messed up my system fonts on ubuntu, all I see the a bunch of boxes, everywhere, inplace of a font.. how do I fix it? [04:21] Gilda: Totem Movie Player [04:22] oh quaal sudo [04:22] PKdoR: vista first then ubuntu? acronis tools sounds vista-ish [04:22] shiwaraya I have all nvidia throughout my house..

[04:24] Aquahallic: wow, then you better take an aspirin and solve that issue soon so u can help other people with Ati! xD [04:24] Kuwanger: then you know its synaptic (or at least, something synaptic/one of the libs synaptic is using) and we can go from there (file a bug report, etc) [04:24] paul - did you put in the ubuntu restricted repositories ?

[04:48] I've followed all the Restricted Format instructions.... I'm thinking my problem may be that the software can't see/mount the dvd drive? [04:48] lufis, Yeah, i've got 2, and i get mixed results with both. One of them, which i think i damaged while improperly removing it, gives me a weird error -71. The other, reads the cards as a scsi? I know that it works fine with a SD card, and i use a sd to miniSD converter to use THAT reader, but it doesn't actually mount.

And fdisk -l does nothing. [04:49] I'm having a problem with permissions here. I copied something from an old drive using root. Now, I can't access those files via Nautilus. I already tried "sudo chmod -R 777 dir/" but I'm still not able to access the files in Nautilus.

[04:51] jeisma: you can burn cd images using k3b. select brun cd image from the tools [04:51] jeffMASTERflex, already tried. Gparted doesn't recognize the card. [04:51] i got printing to work [04:51] is yours an hp? [04:51] frogzoo : correct all wired [04:52] lexmark x1185 [04:52] i dont think there are linux drivers for it [04:52] gilda: shoot me a command line? [04:52] hplip installed my 6200 [04:52] Damoochr_: reboot the linksys & try again [04:52] i did [04:52] czer323: then it sounds like the partition table is broken beyond repair. check to see if it mounts on a non-*nix based system [04:52] jeffMASTERflex, Messages in the terminal for it complaing about "gprogram gparted is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, Please convert it to SG_IO [04:52] Damoochr_, you will need to get a terminal then sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1 [04:52] gilda: they're all the same subnet afaik [04:52] ok gilda .... frogzoo tried that same prob [04:52] jeffMASTERflex, Nope. Won't mount in OSX, Windows, or ubuntu [04:52] astro76: any ideas? [04:52] gilda brb [04:53] the subnet and the ip addressing will not matter if they are not using the router to route properly [04:53] crazy3k: no honestly I hardly ever use the file manager [04:53] I can get it to show a drive in Widnows, but chkdisk, fdisk, format or anything will work with it. Complains aobut a drive not existing. [04:53] jeffMASTERflex, ^^ [04:53] they will connect as the DNS is declared - in the configurator [04:53] how do u get programs to work after installing them with Wine [04:53] but not route thru for proper network capabilities [04:53] czer323: your up the creek, i really don't know of any possible solutions. sorry [04:54] Any suggestions for recreating a new partition header? I dont' care about the data at all. Just want the card to work. [04:54] brandon_: wine blah.exe [04:54] brandon_: but after install, there's usually a menu entry [04:54] jeffMASTERflex, did you try adding all_generic_ide to ur menu.lst ? [04:54] gilda: resulr is SIOCADDRT: File exists [04:54] where do i find bla.exe [04:54] brandon_: wine -> programs... [04:54] czer323, you could use testdisk i think it's called? [04:54] so if you go to nano /etc/networking/interfaces [04:55] brandon_: where blah.exe is your windows app [04:55] yeah, the name of the program is testdisk [04:55] does it say all the pertinent info ? [04:55] astro76: It's for my mom. She _needs_ the file manager.

What is going on? [04:57] Gman99999, modprobe moduleName [04:57] Does Repos have full kernel source? [04:57] invalid boot option is an entirely illogical error [04:57] frogzoo: ok i downloaded the file, it is a .run file - how do i open it? [04:57] gilda Im actually trying to install it [04:58] frogzoo: it likes like wine is trying to open it [04:58] what card Gman99999 ? [04:58] gilda Im probably going to have to do the make install thingy [04:58] \Cannot mount volume" [04:58] Does anyone know how to get LyX installed on dapper? I need /usr/bin/lyx to be present to build something, but I get no such binary. [04:58] gilda its a wusb54g v4 [04:58] "invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume [04:58] ugh [04:58] Gman99999, does it show up in lspci ? [04:58] what option [04:59] gilda I havent actually installed it yet [04:59] johnnyboy022, i believe for .run files it would be sh (file).run [04:59] gilda Im actually looking for some guidance as to how to install it lol [04:59] johnnyboy022: .run I think is a batch file? [04:59] Gman99999, plug the card in to the puter [04:59] gilda I downloaded the proper driver and everything [04:59] Gnine, ,doesnt say [04:59] if there was a way to fully use windo programs on linux it would be so much better [04:59] you making in it up then [05:00] is there a way to completly reset xorg settings? [05:00] no [05:00] to ubuntu defaults [05:00] brandon, huge problem with that, windows access to a drive...can be seriously bad [05:00] there is no 'reset' in ubuntu [05:00] if you get a virus on it, bam...drive messed up...oops [05:00] frogzoo: so how do i run this script [05:00] i recently bought a fm transmitter for my iPod, and when i plug in the power cable it goes to the 'do not disconnect' screen and will not play any music. is this possibly to do with any changes to the iPod software my linux system has made? does anyone know how to 'eject' or 'unmount' the ipod by pressing a button on the ipod unit? [05:00] brandon_, you could always run a virtual windows machine [05:00] johnnyboy022: well you don't [05:01] where do i look for the options in ubuntu that auto mounts drives? [05:01] johnnyboy022: wine works with exes [05:01] gilda its a module i gotta install via a makefile [05:01] M-Nagato, Looks like it's going to do the same thing fdisk does, and do nothing.

[05:02] bah, stupid register [05:02] anyway [05:02] it'll tell you at the end if it's recoverable [05:02] yes Gman99999 you will have to install the module but we will need to see if the device is registered [05:02] gilda ok so if i plug it in and its not registered then it wont work? [05:02] frogzoo: i want to run it as a shell script? [05:02] some pretty wild screensavers on this ill tell you what [05:02] gilda ok overload for my brain [05:02] Gman99999, nope not saying that [05:02] brandon_, it sounds like you want a virtual windows system. try qemu or virtualbox [05:02] i recently bought a fm transmitter for my iPod, and when i plug in the power cable it goes to the 'do not disconnect' screen and will not play any music. is this possibly to do with any changes to the iPod software my linux system has made? does anyone know how to 'eject' or 'unmount' the ipod by pressing a button on the ipod unit? [05:03] gilda I uninstalled all previous drivers for this card so its a fresh install [05:03] i know how to make the ubuntu's split screen run in window [05:03] helo [05:03] and to repeat what i said that got spammed out fast, testdisk scans the entire drive you want to recover and looks for any identifying information [05:03] gilda cause the last one i had wasnt a good one [05:03] hello [05:03] half linux and half windows [05:03] at the end it'll let you browse the drive, recover, backup, etc [05:03] my gutsy crashes a LOT while i am working. can anyone tell me if this is a common occurrence? [05:03] gilda so its basically a clean slate [05:03] check ur pm Gman99999 [05:03] have some program for linux ubuntu 7.10 like on windows bear share for searh and download some music can somebody help me ? [05:03] it's hit or miss but it's worth a shot, i've had luck with it at least [05:04] M-Nagato, I guess I"ll let it run all night, but it doesn't look like it's doing jack at the moment.

[05:04] hi, i have a silly question, what is fuseblk? i have a partition which shows as type fuseblk... is it related to ntfs? [05:04] frogzoo: ok i think i got it going, i just bash-ed the file [05:05] How can I search in 'Tracker Search' for search strings that include a space character. Neither "" nor '\ ', '%20' helps. [05:05] czer323, well, i don't remember it being very verbose during scanning so i guess leaving it running over night would be the best choice [05:05] j_humphrey, seems like lots of people asking qs tonight few answering! oh well [05:05] joanki ; agree'd [05:05] the ds emulater is sick on ubuntu 7.10 [05:05] joanki, yeah, and i dont want to reinstal ubuntu either, but thats what i may end up doing [05:05] geekworx: Huh? [05:05] where do i look for the options in ubuntu that auto mounts drives? [05:05] a litle slow but not bad [05:05] j_humphrey, i do it all the time [05:05] !burning [05:05] CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based).

[05:07] dang, your slow j_humphrey, it only took me 10! :P [05:07] Frogzoo, the volume won't mount [05:07] j_humphrey: boot to recover mode and 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' [you might want to know your monitor's v-sync/h-sync range but the default autoprobe often gets it right. then startx [05:07] just kidding :) [05:07] geekworx: Dude that's illegal and not allowed to be discussed here. [05:07] geekworx, i thikn gnutella is limewire or something like that [05:07] aha [05:07] ok [05:07] ok sry [05:07] johnnyboy022: oh - compiz won't work with the new driver - lol, can't win - there are posts from people who are using the next kernel release, but that gets complicated [05:07] geekworx: yes it is. it is good but a little complicated if you're not used to it [05:08] jeffMASTERflex, i never used that program :) [05:08] frogzoo: i dont know what happened but compiz definately works [05:08] Frogzoo, sorry , it is in nautils, i have right clicked on it. what next? [05:08] frogzoo: something messed up witht he gtk window decorator [05:08] !offtopic > geekworx [05:08] jeffMASTERflex, i will try :P [05:08] tripppy: properties [05:08] How do I burn audio CDs from MP3 files? I forget how. [05:08] gnutronic, i tried that, and it still doesnt work [05:08] Frogzoo: glxgears also works [05:09] MrObvious: insert a blank cd. [05:09] Frogzoo, yep. [05:09] Frogzoo: so either the new one didnt install, or it magically works [05:09] j_humphrey: did you choose the proper video driver [05:09] gnutropic, I'm on a tablet laptop, with an ati x1400 gfx card [05:09] Frogzoo, got it. thankx [05:09] MrObvious, what, do you mean like software that'll let you burn cds? k3b is a good one if that's what you're looking for [05:09] johnnyboy022, what happens when u type glxinfo | grep direct [05:09] i'm not sure of one for gnome, but k3b is pretty awesome regardless of it being for kde :3 [05:10] is it necessary to defragment in ubuntu? [05:10] gilda: direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) [05:10] gnutropic, i have to download a specific proprietory driver to run it correctly [05:10] M-Nagato: Well I have MP3s I need to make an audio CD. [05:10] j_humphrey: try ati, vesa if thayt doesnt work. get the v-sync/h-sync settings correct from the manufacturers specs. [05:10] j_humphrey i also have x1400 [05:10] M-Nagato: And no I'm not converting to OGGs. [05:10] ok. my HDD is mounted. but its only RO. how do i make it RW? [05:10] johnnyboy022, where did you get your driver? [05:10] is it possible to copy files from an iso on to a harddrive, then modify the bootloader to make it load linux instead of windows 95? [05:10] Gilda I did not see your pm, looking in the wrong area [05:10] MrObvious: if you insert a blank cd into your burner, a dialog pops up that allows you to open up serpentine to burn mp3 to cd [05:10] can't say i blame you, MrObvious :) transcoding ftl [05:11] j_humphrey: ah, lose the current driver then. [05:11] http://k3b.plainblack.com/uploads/XH/xj/XHxjDh0OUehosgYkIU3DyQ/audio_poject_with_cd_track_sources.jpg <- this screenshot shows that it can burn mp3s among other types [05:11] i have an old old ass laptop that i want to put dsl on but it cant boot from a cd-rom [05:11] !burn [05:11] j_humphrey: well i was using the one that came up in the list of restricted ubuntu drivers. the fglrx one [05:11] CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based).

[05:11] I'm using kubuntu feisty, and compiled my own alsa-lib a few days ago to get better sound. it works absolutely perfectly for a day or so, but then jst stops, mid-song, without me doing anything. alsa falls over, amarok freezes or crashes, and yet oss sound still works. so far I can't unbreak it unless I reboot. any ideas? [05:11] j_humphrey: but now i am trying the one from the ati site, the 8.1 version [05:11] i need to figure out some other way to get it to boot but i have no idea how to make that happen... anyone know? [05:11] johnnyboy022, is it working ok? [05:11] j_humphrey: everything except suspend [05:11] jeffMASTERflex: I'm trying that now. :D [05:12] j_humphrey: i am working on that right now [05:12] j_humphrey: but i doubt it will work [05:12] johnnyboy022, heh, is there documentation on how to get it to work? [05:12] johnnyboy022: only solution for suspend & compiz is to upgrade your kernel === gilda_ is now known as gilda [05:13] what irc chat program allows me to tile windows for gutsy?

[05:16] okay [05:16] thx [05:16] :) [05:16] i just ask [05:16] i'm newbie btw [05:16] :P [05:16] yeah, it's not really needed. i think the only reason to have it is if you're running a server (mail or http or something) and don't want to contribute to the spread of viruses [05:17] !enter [05:17] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:17] gntronic mirc, oh yeaj [05:17] yeah [05:17] Linux doesn't have a virus problem because virus writers are too busy compiling their Gentoo box. [05:17] Damoochr_, im not getting it can you pastebin it [05:17] !pastebin [05:17] 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) [05:17] I keep getting this when trying to start apache via command prompt And yes im running the command as root,apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName [05:17] (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 [05:17] also No listning sockets avaliable Shutting down [05:18] rredd4 - thats provided you have a windows partition mounted or accessible [05:18] !pastebin auto lo [05:18] iface lo inet loopback [05:18] Hello all... I'm interested in getting involved in Ubuntu work. I'm a dev, but primarily interested in interface design/development. Are there any specific IRC channels you someone can point me to? Thanks. [05:18] Could someone help me out? Whenever I attempt to restart X using the hotkey ctrl+alt+backspace, it receive a lag and the system ends up restarting after the duration of 1-2 minutes. I'm running Gutsy. [05:18] how do i run fsck?? [05:18] gnutronic no linux program? yes I have used mirc before, just forgot about it. [05:19] M-Nagato, I was trying a few other commands before I headed to bed, but it doesn't even think that it has any blocks on the device. I attempted to force it but it just isn't going. I'll probably end up RMA'n it. [05:19] gilda here it is auto lo [05:19] iface lo inet loopback [05:19] thats it ??? [05:19] !chat [05:19] gilda yep [05:19] gnutronic, why would he need a windows partition? he could just download mirc from the website and install it on his linux partition using wine [05:19] rredd4 - xchat is the best under 'nix, i like bitchx in an xterm myself [05:19] The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/GaimHowto) supports MSN, Jabber, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and IRC.

PC is a HP laptop with ATI video card. I'm sure there is some documentation available, but I can't seem to find it. [05:19] M-Nagato - ok, i did not know that. [05:19] coolbhavi: thanks much... I'll cehck out #ubuntu-devel [05:19] Lesson learned, don't screw with flash disks. [05:19] Damoochr_, u did say u were doing static IP am i correct ?? [05:20] The Network Manager docs talk about a list of preferred networks; where do I muck around with that? [05:20] gilda: I thought so ..... [05:20] !irssi [05:20] Irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help. [05:20] and #ubuntu-motu if you are interested in packaging [05:20] could be wrong [05:20] how do i run fsck on / partition ?? [05:21] amitprakash: Switch into single user mode, remount / as read-only, then run fsck on it. [05:21] amitprakash: you need to fsck the device path [05:21] . [05:21] Kuwanger, how do i switch into single user mode? [05:21] * Gnine smells disaster [05:22] amitprakash sudo fsck /partition Ex if partition is /dev/sda3 then sudo fsck /dev/sda3 [05:22] amitprakash: "telinit 1" should do it; this will switch runlevels, killing basically all processes [05:22] Damoochr_, you should be seeing something more like this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54675/ only with eth0 [05:22] coolbhavi, the partition is mounted if i boot into gui === p4r4d0x_ is now known as new2linux [05:22] How can I search in 'Tracker Search' for search strings that include a space character. Neither "" nor '\ ', '%20' helps. === new2linux is now known as imnew2linux [05:22] for clamav how was the command to scan the files? [05:22] gilda: ok any clue where to point me? [05:22] Kuwanger, thanks.. will try it [05:23] M-Nagato i just tried detaching in xchat... works! [05:23] geekworx, man clamav [05:23] then follow what kuwanger said [05:23] k === narg_ is now known as narg [05:23] rredd4, nice :) [05:23] gilda do I need to edit this ? [05:24] Damoochr_, that is my file lol its just a general of what u should be seeing [05:24] Kuwanger, so i log off gui, goto ^+alt+f1 and run this? [05:24] amitprakash: That's one way, sure. [05:24] gilda: to pm ? [05:25] i sent u a pm did u not get it ? [05:25] Kuwanger, thanks [05:25] kk brb [05:25] amitprakash: Oh, and you'll probably have to do "sudo telinit 1", since you're likely not running as root. :) === imnew2linux is now known as tcpdumpgod === geekworx is now known as geekw0rx [05:25] Kuwanger, aye [05:25] Could someone help me out? Whenever I attempt to restart X using the hotkey ctrl+alt+backspace, it receive a lag and the system ends up restarting after the duration of 1-2 minutes. I'm running Gutsy. [05:25] I seriously goofed up my system [05:26] Anyone here know how the successor to gnomevfs is fairing? [05:26] anyone know how to get linux on a windows box without having the option of booting from CD or a network? [05:26] j2daosh: qemu? [05:26] huh? [05:27] i dont understand your question [05:27] lol [05:27] j2daosh: What do you mean by "get linux on a windows box"? [05:27] oh [05:27] how do I set up trusted keys for ssh between two ubuntu machines? [05:27] after installing gdm and x-window-system-core on a dapper headless, I can't boot in [05:27] well i have a windows 95 laptop... really really old hardware right... but I just need a quickie linux box [05:27] I get a (none) login: prompt [05:28] so im trying to put damn small linux on it [05:28] and when I login I get /dev/null Permission denied over and over again [05:28] j2daosh, do you not have a CDROM drive or something? [05:28] j2daosh: Have a floppy drive? [05:28] Damoochr_, if you are pming i am not getting them [05:28] but i cant boot from cd (bios too old) [05:28] also, the filesystem keeps setting itself to read only [05:28] yea i have a floppy drive [05:28] gilda yea I am pm'ing [05:28] Should I go with Debian over Ubuntu if I want to get more involved with http servers such as apache, programming languages in general, and mainly the web dev environment? [05:28] j2daosh: If you have a CD drive but can't boot from it, you can use a boot floppy, then hand off to the CD-ROM. [05:28] I went into a restore kernel and mount /dev/hda -o rw,remount and removed gdm and x-windows, but no good [05:28] Damoochr_, lol close the window reopen ill do same [05:29] Facedown: not really a relevant consideration [05:29] kuwanger, how would i go about doing that? [05:29] phuzion: try this tutorial: http://sial.org/howto/openssh/publickey-auth/ [05:29] gilda done you start [05:29] j2daosh: I'm pretty sure dsl had instructions on this.. :/ [05:29] any takers? [05:29] j2daosh maybe vmware server you can launch ubuntu in that. [05:29] Facedown, i don't see why choosing debian over ubuntu would make much of a different [05:29] i dont recall any instructions on doing it this way [05:30] n [05:30] was it on the dsl site? [05:30] jtmitchum, is the filesystem dirty? [05:30] Damoochr_, seems a no go not sure whats up [05:30] has FSCK marked it as clean? [05:30] ok I have pigeon installed [05:30] j2daosh: Perhaps I should put it another way, I'd be surprised if dsl doesn't include instructions, since most every distro seems to. [05:30] So has anyone here had experience connecting to a wireless access point using WPA Personal security and a pass phrase with spaces in it? [05:30] not that I can tell [05:30] guess i'll go with debian then [05:30] Not working for me while spaceless pass phrases work fine. [05:31] ok, ill reread the site again... maybe i missed it somehow [05:31] gilda I have pidgin installed [05:31] tcpdumpgod: best way to tell? [05:31] jtmitchum, what you need to do is boot into single user mode in grub, then fsck the slice that its marking as read only. [05:31] gigamonk`, i recall a thread about that on ubuntuforums while searching for information. maybe a search over there would return some helpful threads [05:31] jtmitchum, you need to do it from grub, because you need to have it unmounted unless it needs to make changes to the filesystem. [05:32] gilda : paulslaptop2@hotmail.com (msn network) [05:32] well; so far ubuntu hasnt crashed. more than i can say for fedora [05:32] tcpdumpgod: single user mode? [05:32] j2daosh: http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Boot_Floppies [05:32] yes single user mode jtmitchum [05:32] just command line mode while in grub? [05:33] Facedown: ubuntu has guaranteed support for 18 months. Environment-wise, they are probably the same. But try both and see [05:33] which package do most ubuntu users use for video codecs? [05:33] any thunderbird users here? anyone care to check out my thunderbird extension and give me feedback? http://attachreminder.sourceforge.net/ [05:33] microphex: i use w32codecs from the medibuntu repos [05:34] jtmitchum, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=683836&highlight=login+%2Fdev%2Fnull [05:34] server irc.zuh.net [05:34] have you heard of gstreamer? i'm wondering if that's any good [05:34] hi\ [05:34] How Do i rip CDs in Ubuntu ? [05:34] microphex: ubuntu-restricted-extras [05:34] tim_: put it in the drive and sound juicer will start automatically [05:35] microphex: ubuntu uses gstreamer. [05:35] hey guys, im using the nvidia driver provided by the .sh file at nvidia.com, as its much more recent and yields higher performance for me. However x fails to start every boot unless i rrun "sudo depmod -a" before /etc/init.d/gdm start. Any idea why? Also it states that it cant load module "type1" in xorg's logs, any ideas? [05:35] How Do i rip music in Wave/Flac Format ? [05:35] Oh man, that's just stupid. If you put quotes around the passphrase in the Network Settings applet it works. [05:36] tim_: I just told you [05:36] Nothing like a very thin GUI layer over some command line tools. [05:36] jscinoz: so why don't you just put a depmod -a into your startup list to run before gdm? and then problem solved? [05:36] tcpdumpgod: thanks for the forum post...

[05:37] phuzion: use keys with passphrases... [05:37] hii [05:37] nerdriot: sed [05:37] jrib, I realize that, but I'm saying, using the key with a passphrase makes things more secure, right? [05:37] phuzion: yes [05:37] ok, cool [05:37] Thanks :) I never thought to use sed... I've been using grep [05:37] noob question....where is the trash? [05:37] any girl here ?

[05:53] Ok i put my computer in DMZ What would i do now to get the FTP Server working? so people around the world can access [05:53] jtmitchum: you might find it friendlier than working in console in single user. also, you can run fsck on the root fs from livecd, but in single user mode, the root fs is mounted... [05:53] okay, back [05:53] GO GIANTS! [05:53] Kuwanger: So what is the differense? [05:54] How can I search in 'Tracker Search' for search strings that include a space character. Neither "" nor '\ ', '%20' helps. [05:54] so knoppix would work [05:55] is there an app to quickly look at how many gbs I have used/left on each partition? [05:55] tim_: Well, if it's a different version, one or more programs potentially won't run or will (very unlikely) misbehave inconsistent with how they should. [05:55] jtmitchum: well, yea... but so would an ubuntu livecd :) which you probably have cuz you installed ubuntu ? :) [05:55] Dmitri: df -h [05:55] Dmitri: df [05:55] beat you ... but you added the human readable command... [05:55] UGH, freakin IRC client! [05:55] :) [05:55] Kuwanger: What if it is the same Version? [05:55] therealnanotube: dapper server cd [05:55] hey guys, im using the nvidia driver provided by the .sh file at nvidia.com, as its much more recent and yields higher performance for me. However x fails to start every boot unless i rrun "sudo depmod -a" before /etc/init.d/gdm start. Any idea why? Also it states that it cant load module "type1" in xorg's logs, any ideas? [05:56] tim_: Then, it should work, barring some other reason (like rearrangement of the directory structure). [05:56] tim_: Personally, I'd avoid it if possible just because it includes another potential hassle in the future. [05:57] jscinoz: yes [05:57] why do brown people get treated like women? [05:57] jscinoz: something like http://linux.hfds.com/files/n-i.txt [05:57] This error has been plaguing me for days and it prevent me from browsing the web so I can't figure it out.

[05:58] tim_: mostly it's the packaging, it depends on the versions of libraries in each particular ubuntu version [05:58] I installed Ubuntu from the latest install cd (same thing on XUbuntu and Mint) and things work fine. Then I do apt-get update and restart the machine. And it goes to hell [05:58] jtmitchum: ah ic :) well in that case, try the knoppix :) [05:58] tim_: *versions of dependencies, not necessarily libraries [05:58] Firefox tries to start and gets a bus error [05:58] is ubuntu packaging any different from debian packaging?

[05:59] long as the deps are met, probably, ymmv [05:59] jetscreamer, i assume the no was to my question? [05:59] hey... I was using lvm by the way therealnanotube [05:59] yes [05:59] for some reason my laptop isnt shutting off properly... running ubuntu 7.10. [05:59] does that hurt anything? [05:59] iKap, any errors on the way out? [05:59] tim_: no [06:00] Hello? [06:00] Why the heck would doing an apt-get update completely anihilate my ability to use my most common apps with no helpful messages at all? [06:00] astro76: Why not? [06:00] tim_: this is why they have a separate repo/package for each ubuntu version [06:00] d33d, no errors at all.. though i did get eth1 error before but then i disabled that so it shuts off fine.. screen goes blank and everything.. but the laptop still has power. its very weird. [06:00] jtmitchum: errr... i don't know anything about lvm, so... i don't know even whether fsck will work [06:00] tim_: because of my earlier explanation [06:00] I'm updating from feisty to gutsy. I saw one mention that I should update everything before I upgrade. [06:00] jetstream that only need to be run once yes? [06:00] Er, upgrade everything before I update. [06:00] fsck works on lvm the same as other volumes [06:00] Should I? [06:00] puff: yes [06:00] d33d, so if i press the power button again.. it doesnt turn on, i have to keep it pressed down for 3 seconds then i hear it completley shut off.. then only i can turn it back on. [06:00] baegle: just update wouldn't.. upgrade possible could [06:00] thanks Kevin` [06:01] is clamav a kernel module?

[06:01] astro76: so, that would be sudo aptitude update? [06:01] astro76: Or something more? [06:01] jetscreamer: but I'm not doing anything fany, just install and then upgrade [06:01] d33d, what do you mean.. im kind of new to linux. [06:01] and firefox bus errors? [06:01] puff: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade [06:01] How do I change Icon of programms ? [06:01] baegle: no idea.. maybe dist-upgrade [06:01] i'm familiar with what clamav is, i'm curious about exactly how it works [06:02] jetscreamer: nothing to dist-upgrade, just dl'ed the cds from the site [06:02] iKap, just a sec i have to remember the keyboard shortcut. [06:02] jetscreamer do you really need a virus scanner for liniux.... thought there were hardly, if any out there [06:02] ohh dear jang guy left :( [06:02] jetscreamer: dist-upgrade reports nothing to do [06:02] rredd4: mostly for scanning windows things [06:02] astro76: Hm, I guess I should cancel out of the update GUI in order to do that. [06:02] Dangit -- how to i stop the annoying beeping on everything. I am wearing headphones and i am officially deaf now. [06:02] how can i get CF started by typing this code: "LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=TRUE compiz --replace gconf/ini/ccp &" ?. I tried on the terminal, it works, but when i quit, i come back to metacity... [06:02] d33d: Unplug the headphones? [06:02] d33d: :-). [06:02] This has happened to me for ubuntu and 2 of it's variants and it's completely baffling to me that I could be the only one with this problem [06:03] jetscreamer no more windows here! [06:03] puff, then its on the speaks. [06:03] d33d: probably the settings of your irc client [06:03] whats the shortcut to switch between workspaces? [06:03] jetscreamer, well it does it on like everything, in the terminal, [06:03] d33d: Unplug the speakers! [06:03] d33d: I'll bet there's a way to configure it. [06:03] puff, laptop [06:04] d33d, the weird thing is, it seems to "shut off" normal.. like the OS shuts down fine, but seems like the power to the computer or something doesnt shut off, because the power light on the laptop stays on. its weird. [06:04] d33d: not sure, maybe it's the pc_speaker... try turning something off in your mixer [06:04] d33d: what kind? and is it just sound you want to eliminate, or just the beeps? [06:04] I'm completely helpless, I can't even browse the web in my current state to solve my own problems, it's incredibly frustrating [06:04] J_Humphrey: ctrl+alt+# iirc [06:05] not F1, but 1 [06:05] unless you mean the consoles [06:05] jtmitchum, how's that going for you?

Still get the sound, its like the system beep. [06:06] Ok jtmitchum. [06:06] d33d: System/Preferences/Sound, select System Beep. [06:06] d33d: blacklist the pc_speaker module [06:06] I'm researching to make sure I understand tcpdumpgod [06:06] or that [06:06] d33d: System/Preferences/Sound, select System Beep tab, select Visual System Beep.

[06:16] AlgorithmicContr: what happens if you attempt to restart X with "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" same behavior? [06:16] therealnanotube: same [06:16] Does anyone here know how to create a shortcut on the desktop to a network folder on another PC [06:16] therealnanotube: Might be because I switched my videocard driver from xorg to fglrx for the "preliminary" algrx support [06:17] the catalyst driver for ATI, 8.1 I think it was. I'm on a ATI Radeon X300 [06:17] hm, and switching back to the default ati driver is not an acceptable solution? [06:18] is there an alias for your router's address, if you want to access it in firefox? I mean, instead of using the IP address of your gateway, is there a hostname that will always work? [06:18] AlgorithmicContr: well, i'm out of useful thoughts, then... i run on the stock ati driver, don't know much about the details of fglrx...

[06:23] Pfiu :D ^_^ [06:23] ya i do it.. try to keep it small [06:24] i only working with 14g's [06:24] lazy247x: try doing this: apt-get autoclean [06:24] jetscreamer: FYI, it was reinstall firefox firefox-gnome-support and ubufox [06:24] mm ok [06:24] lazy247x: that will purge the files yo'ure not using. [06:24] lazy247x: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto [06:25] lazy247x: near the bottom, in the example it tells you how to remove AND purge [06:25] ok [06:25] lol :D the system monitor is eating 10% CPU [06:25] thanks [06:25] Hi guys, what would be a good alternative to Partition magic for Ubuntu?

[06:28] emmajane, me either ;) [06:29] Aloha: well, thats all understood to be ubuntu related, so give it a good descriptive name (remember that there are a few hundred bugs filed every day, so descriptive subjects make stuff easier), and then include as much info as you can in the body, and check back over the next few days to see what other information they need, if their fixes work, etc. [06:29] How can i make Opera work with the Flahs player ?

[07:02] afaik screen is standard [07:02] I am using ls_colors in tcsh and want to use them same in bash. it seems bash doesnt understand the d=00:no=00 or so. Isd there a converter between those two? [07:03] soldats, i think you might be right [07:03] probably.. [07:03] but it doesn't hurt to check [07:03] is there a way to remove ' and / from a file using sed? [07:03] i already have screen lol [07:03] are you using it then? [07:03] son9524: can you do ctrl+alt+F2 [07:03] when i re-did it i did [07:03] nerdriot: yes, but I'd use tr instead.. [07:03] I'm a noob, heh... what's tr? [07:04] sed -es"/\///"g -es"/\'//"g [07:04] I think.. [07:04] Thank you :D I'll give that a shot :) [07:04] or tr -d \'\/ [07:04] Yea... [07:04] i can do that [07:04] lol [07:04] from memory.. check the man page if it fails :) === Masse is now known as MAS-USR [07:05] Yep....it let me === son9524_ is now known as Darkmystere [07:05] son9524_, you could've used ctrl+alt+F* to change back then :P [07:05] anyone have a recommendation for a newsreader? [07:05] lol change it back to GUI === MAS-USR is now known as Smitius [07:05] but i wanted to see how No-GUI worked i have lots of friends that dont use GUI [07:06] I dont see hpw they do now when 1 terminal takes up entire screen... [07:06] how do I see how much free space I got on a hard drive? [07:06] How can I find out what shell functions are defined in my environment in bash? [07:06] why is r+x on all users folders on by default? Doesn't sound very secure to me? [07:06] bloony: df -h [07:06] Is there a way to stop ubuntu turning off the HDD when i'm transferring large files from the network onto here and go idle? [07:06] ogre: cheers [07:06] do you guys think richard stallman is a fantatic in a bad way? [07:06] bloony: df -h [07:06] brb... [07:07] Flynsarmy: the hdd turns off?? [07:07] Darkmystere: it depends on your preference. screen is very powerful but you need to learn a little about it first. you can still run a gui but one that works primarily off of terminals liek ratpoison or dwm [07:07] Thank you zcat! tr worked nicely :) [07:07] Hi all. How do I get past my proxy to be able to run apt get in a terminal ? [07:07] why won't my USB devices get recognized? any help? If the devices are plugged in during boot up or a few minutes after they will be recognized, but much after that they aren't even noticed. [07:07] Frogzoo: well that's what i THINK might be happening. All i know is if i go idle while doing the transfers and i come back, they've failed [07:08] cllew: what does dmesg tell you? [07:08] Different version of same question: how do I change what nautilis thinks is a zip file? [07:08] anyone have a recommendation for a newsreader? I want something easy. plllzzzz [07:09] I always used to use slrn ... [07:09] ogre: I use liferea [07:09] thanks guys [07:09] Hi all. How do I get past my proxy to be able to run apt get in a terminal ? [07:09] Flynsarmy: what command? [07:10] Frogzoo: Using the GUi i drag/drop from a windows PC onto an NTFS partitioned drive on my ubuntu machine [07:10] I don't have the slightest clue as to what to tell you from the results. [07:10] ogre: if you want to download binaries as well, i suggest pan as a newsreader [07:11] Flynsarmy: does mount show the partition as rw? or read only? [07:11] jeffMASTERflex: ahh thanks that is what i was looking for [07:11] what the heck [07:11] i just switched [07:12] my java was unable to run... then one site recommended i do this.. java -classpath . myfirstjavaprog ... and it worked... I forgot but I think there is a way to make it permanent.. so you can run simply by typing java myfirstjavaprog [07:12] Terminal [07:12] Frogzoo: I'm able to write to the directories on both the windows and this pc [07:12] ooh i figured it out i have to use as some 1 else started ctrl alt F1-f6 [07:12] How else can I install libdvdread3 if I am unable to use apt get please ? [07:12] cllew: dmesg is a command line utility that prints out device messages from the kernel, if you open a terminal and do "dmesg | tail" (without the quotes) right after you plug in a usb device, you might get some information [07:12] !info Mplay [07:12] Package mplay does not exist in gutsy [07:13] !find Mplay [07:13] Found: kmplayer-base, kmplayer-konq-plugins, kmplayer, kmplayer-doc, python-templayer (and 13 others) [07:13] jmdc: tail -f /var/log/messages [07:14] BlueEyes_Jhb: You can configure apt to use a proxy.. easiest was is via synaptic I think .. preferences > network [07:14] is grun supposed to load from stage 3? [07:14] I mean grub [07:15] PKdoR: grub has 2 stages only [07:15] zcat[1] I dont think libdvdread3 is listed in synaptic, i'll double check [07:15] cllew: just paste it to the pastebin [07:15] !medibuntu | BlueEyes_Jhb [07:15] BlueEyes_Jhb: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [07:15] but when I turn on my pc on the grub time out thingi it load from stage 2 and no 1? [07:16] ok, did "dmesg | tail", no quotes, and still no idea what it means :| [07:16] how can i take the source from a program and enable v4l2 support in that program? [07:16] !pastebin [07:16] right now I am using a USB mouse, it was plugged in before booting and it works fine. If i were to unplug it and plug it back in, it wouldn't work [07:16] 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) [07:17] BlueEyes_Jhb: synaptic is just a friendly way of accessing and/or sonfiguring apt [07:17] is it safe if i install twin?

Version 0.5.1-3 (gutsy), package size 422 kB, installed size 1444 kB [07:17] if it's not in synaptic, you won't be able to apt-get it either 'cos they're the same thing [07:18] I mean will it mess up x-server [07:18] can somebody smarter than myself please tell me what the difference between apt-get and aptitude is? and which is better [07:18] and ill never be able to use GUI again? [07:18] cllew, unplug it, plug it back in, and copy the output to the pastebin [07:19] kineticCoder,Aptitude is better.

Version 0.4.6.1-1ubuntu3 (gutsy), package size 1507 kB, installed size 9072 kB [07:19] KineticCoder: apt-get and aptitude do basically the same job.. aptitude is slightly friendlier I think.. I tend to use apt-get or synaptic [07:20] i also use apt-get, but someone told me that aptitude works cleaner and does a better job of removing packages you want to uninstall [07:20] what app can i use as web proxy for ubuntu [07:20] so does apt-get autoremove :) [07:20] thanks [07:21] !squid | Le^stat [07:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about squid - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:21] !info squid | Le^stat [07:21] le^stat: squid (source: squid): Internet object cache (WWW proxy cache).

You type apt-get install foo. aptitude is screen oriented, you pick from a menu in text mode, synaptic is a gui, they all are using the same libraries to get the work done, just use autoremove from the command line [07:21] i keep getting all mouse drivers Failed when i try and run Twin why is that? [07:21] ty [07:21] zcat[1], hi, John here [07:21] hi john [07:21] jmdc: aptitude is CLI based as well [07:22] joot? [07:22] zcat[1], jxxt was owned [07:22] good nite all, I must say, this is a great channel thanks again to all of you who participate and help [07:22] how about jxxn ? [07:22] Flannel: yeah, but it uses curses and fills up the whole screen [07:23] jmdc: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54681/ [07:23] !language [07:23] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [07:23] I think it uses ncurses ... maybe some other library, anyway it's full screen [07:23] zcat[1], did not try that tried a few john type names failed [07:23] (no cursing) [07:23] ... [07:24] jmdc: No, you can also run it straight from the CLI. aptitude install blah [07:24] if you use 'aptitude install' etc it behaves mosre or less like apt-get [07:24] I wish somebody would ask about how to do file system checks [07:24] jmdc: thanks great explanation, i wasnt aware they used the same libraries [07:24] jmdc: why? [07:24] ahhh ..fsck? [07:24] yes [07:25] Ooh... [07:25] i got it working...but i dunno how to work it lol [07:25] someone asked what was a good image viewer in here once.. the one I suggested was deemed inappropriate!

[07:26] wtf lol [07:26] jmdc: Its not really a "whos right" sort of issue, just as long as the proper information gets out there. [07:27] zcat[1], thats got to be an acronym p.o.r.n [07:27] erm z[cat]: care to explain why it is a good image viewer? [07:27] sal [07:27] Flannel: good point. I'm just saying we're both putting out correct info, because you can do aptitude install foo to run from command line or just type aptitude and get a full screen interface [07:28] it's pretty similar to gewnview I think.. only tried it once.. [07:28] is there a lite version of Ubuntu available as a CD with ONLY X Desktop & Gnome stuff but without openoffice, goodies, etc... [07:28] e cineva pe aici care sami poata raspunde? [07:28] cllew: you did that dmesg after you unplugged the keyboard? [07:29] giac123: there's xubuntu .. it doesn't have much OOo in it.. [07:29] I had unplugged a flash drive. I'll do the mouse next (I'm on a laptop, kinda hard to unplug a keyboard from THAT) [07:29] but no gnome, it uses xfce [07:29] !ro | aleks [07:29] aleks: Daca doriti ajutor sau doriti sa discutati despre Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu, intrati pe #ubuntu-ro [07:29] will it support GTK appplications? [07:29] sorry, I meant whatever usb device you unplugged, not your keyboard [07:30] hey everybody, what repos do I need to enable to install CCSM? [07:30] yeah [07:30] but nothing's showing up in dmesg about it [07:30] no idea... [07:30] zcat[1]: I see [07:30] I had pulled out the flash drive, put it back in, then ran the dmesg [07:31] peddy: compizconfig-settings-manager and optional emerald [07:31] How do i get my ubuntu windows streaming to my windows PC? [07:31] You could do a text-only install and then add just gnome ... [07:31] are you right clicking and saying unmount before removing? [07:31] when I turn on my pc is grub supposed to load from stage 1 or 2? [07:31] thats the thing, it isn't mounting in the first place [07:31] PKdoR: BIOS -> stage1 -> stage1.5 -> stage2 -> linux [07:32] basically its like my USB ports are dead to anything that isnt already plugged in [07:32] cllew: you've tried other things than usb drives? [07:33] PKdoR: stage one first, then stage two... but it might not say anything about stage one because afaik that's a tiny 512byte chunk of code with no room for unnecessart sending messages to console.. [07:33] Are there any Terminal Based GUI mimicking packages? [07:33] well, my USB mouse. If its plugged in immediately after boot up it works and won't stop working. if i unplug it tho, and plug it back in it will not even have the light turn on at the bottom of the mouse (laser mouse) [07:33] Flynsarmy: you can use vncviewer from windows to login to your ubuntu machine with the gui [07:33] hmm vncviewer? [07:33] never heard of it\ [07:33] Flannel: im asking because whn I turn on my pc on the grob timeout screen where it says to pres "esc" for boot options it says "loading stage 2" before it boots to ubuntu [07:34] son9524: Like anything that uses curses? [07:34] PKdoR: right. The GRUB screen itself is stage1.5, the stuff before that is stage1 [07:34] my desktop files are not visible on my desktop since I updated to the development version. Does anyone know what is wrong? [07:35] and strangely enough...now my touchpad's scroll feature wont work. I had turned off the touch pad with a little button that makes it so I don't accidently brush the pad with my hand while typing...the cursor works but I can't scroll with it [07:35] cllew: okay, I just wanted to make sure we weren't confusing the issue. I think I remember a long time ago cd drives or usb or something would get confused if you unplugged them/ejected them without unmounting properly, but I think that's been fixed for a long time, and its not your problem, since your mouse won't work either [07:35] flannel what you mean "curses" [07:35] falconer: there may be a setting to "show desktop icons" in the desktop settings manager [07:35] Flannel: ohh so that last step beforee botting the default OS is stage 2? [07:35] son9524: curses is a library, for making graphical text programs. [07:35] PKdoR: yeah, more or less. [07:35] oh know any good 1s? [07:36] son9524: What are you trying to do? [07:36] im gunna try No-GUI for about 15mins lol [07:36] Flannel: Thanks for clarifiying I thoutht I had scred up my grub [07:36] son9524: what sort of apps would youwant to run in teminal [07:36] PKdoR: nope, thats perfectly normal [07:36] soldats, what's the desktop settings manager? Also, I have no right-click options on the desktop [07:36] Like Some Browser Err an IRC thing Maybe a Messanger? [07:37] falconer: i think its in applications >> settings >> desktop settings [07:37] thanks soldats, I'll try :) [07:37] Anything that mimics GTK? [07:37] links (browser) epic (irc) [07:37] cllew: let's try reloading the usb driver [07:37] son9524: for irc use irssi for messager use finch for web you can use w3m, lynx, or links [07:37] son9524: A window manager? no. That would be... silly and wasteful. There are better ways to do it when youre in a terminal. [07:37] Im using irssi. [07:37] can't recall what the text messenger thing was called [07:37] son9524: Check out GNU screen [07:38] centericq, zcat[1] [07:38] GNU Screen? [07:38] son9524: yeah, its a "window manager" for terminal based programs [07:38] ok [07:38] ive restarted the computer and all the USB things work, no problems. in case that is of any use. then they die again. [07:38] im in terminal right now btw [07:38] i exited the gui [07:38] for the text mode of pidgin use finch [07:38] when im at the terminal and I type "find /boot/grub/stage1" it gives me error 15 =, what's that all about? [07:38] cllew: are they dead now? [07:39] whats the command to install gnu screen? [07:39] Hi, when I try to turn off my lap top it get stuck in the black screen and does not shut down, and I see the message: networkmanager: nm_ha1_deinit(): libha1 shutdown failed - connection is closed [07:39] yep. I unplugged my mouse and plugged it in and its dead [07:39] !info gnuscreen [07:39] Package gnuscreen does not exist in gutsy [07:39] son9524: use aptitude, its a CLI-GUI synaptic [07:39] son9524: but, sudo apt-get install screen [07:39] i have screen.. [07:39] son9524: irssi, and aptitude use ncurses [07:39] try sudo apt-get gnuscreen maybe [07:40] son9524: http://f0rked.com/articles/irssi is a pretty good tutorial on irssi and screen, you can skip the irssi parts if you dont need them [07:40] whoah... [07:40] do lsusb at the command line once [07:41] i put sudo aptitude gnuscreen it send a long line of commands.. [07:41] son9524: you forgot the install part [07:41] cllew, that'll show your usb devices === gigamonk` is now known as gigamonkey [07:41] ok...and its just sitting there....

I remember when I used it first there was a column on the right after the search [08:01] like cding to directory and then doing another command to put a certain file into it? === ce_hujan is now known as Jack [08:01] now i only get stuff under the categories list with nos in it [08:02] cllew: I think the best way I can help is, admit that I don't know what to do. === Jack is now known as ce_hujan === ce_hujan is now known as jack [08:02] go ahead and do lsusb, that should bring your mouse back [08:02] ah well, ty for your time. [08:03] I'm still bothered by this [08:03] ... [08:03] one more thing [08:03] indeed my mouse lives again [08:03] i have a 3g skype phone and in windows i use it as a usb modem when im out and about i was wondering how i would set this up in linux. i have seen a tutorial to do it with bluetooth but i havent got bluetooth and i would prefere a cable anyways? any help would be very much apreciated? [08:03] why is it so hard to install usb modems on ubuntu? [08:03] but that doesn't really fix the problem [08:03] nope [08:03] cllew: go to System, Administration, System Log [08:04] gino, you tell me thats why im here [08:04] k [08:04] look in kern.log, messages, and syslog [08:04] look for anything about usb [08:04] a few things, [08:05] ubuntu network manager is p*ssing me off [08:05] linux is over lol === max644 is now known as max` [08:06] cllew: anything interesting? [08:06] i have a bunch of saved wireless locations, however whenever i apply a location, when i close the network manager, and open it up again, it reverted to some default setting [08:06] When is the best time to get help in this channel? On average. [08:06] i'll pastebin some of them [08:06] not now it looks like [08:07] does anyone know why the hell it does that [08:07] Hi all I am having problem with tracker. I remember when I used it first there was a column on the right after the search [08:07] now i only get stuff under the categories list with nos in it [08:07] Imaginal: this time of day is always a bit of a lull, a bit too early for Europe, and somewhat late for America [08:07] Imaginal: maybe someone can still help you though? === Maz is now known as Mazus [08:07] Flannel: does the day of week matter much? [08:07] lol [08:08] Imaginal: it depends. Some weekends are dead, some weekends are lively. I dont think day of the week really matters, but I dont really have any evidence to support that. [08:08] i have a 3g skype phone and in windows i use it as a usb modem when im out and about i was wondering how i would set this up in linux. i have seen a tutorial to do it with bluetooth but i havent got bluetooth and i would prefere a cable anyways? any help would be very much apreciated [08:08] Flannel: Thank you. I suppose I'll keep trying at random intervals [08:08] Imaginal: best thing to do is post in the forums, come here, and repeat your question every half hour or so, and just keep it up (you dont really need to be attentively watching if your IRC client will beep at you) [08:09] Is there?, Im trying to figure out how to put a file into a directory just using command prompt. (im in GUi) wouild just be easier to be able to copy files and put them in directory just using terminal or mopve the real file to it [08:09] anyone haveing the same wiresless problem on laap[top [08:09] Flannel: Isn't repeating a question flamebait? [08:10] Darkmystere mv or cp : move or copy commands [08:10] Imaginal: not unless youre repeating the question at a stupid interval. 30 minutes should be good. You'll get new people looking at it, and keep it relatively recent for the idlers to take a gander at it when they wake [08:10] Imaginal: what was your question again? [08:10] Flannel: thanks! [08:11] Darkmystere in the terminal, type man mv or man cp to learn how to use them. [08:11] jmdc: I haven't asked yet >_> [08:11] Or today [08:11] lol [08:11] Imaginal: oh, it seemed like you were trying to figure out when to ask again [08:11] stephen-mason: have a look at these http://davesource.com/Solutions/20070520.T-Mobile-Nokia-E65-Ubuntu-Linux.html http://davestevens.co.uk/blog/2008/01/03/3-skype-phone-as-bluetooth-modem-on-ubuntu-linux/ [08:12] jmdc: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54684/ [08:12] jmdc: I was. I also wanted to learn when/where repeats were allowed [08:13] Imaginal: sorry, I'm just overparsing things I guess [08:14] cllew: I think what you pasted is when your mouse came back up from lsusb [08:14] When things(movies, windows, games) move quick horizontally on my 1280x800 laptop, I see broken lines. Dual-boot/vista doesn't have this problem. Ideas? [08:14] cllew: I'd try searching/posting to the forums [08:14] ive ended up having a directory tree with mixed utf-8 and latin-1 filenames, any suggestions how to convert latin-1 -> utf-8 (and only those latin-1 files) [08:14] and _filenames_ not contents [08:15] okay, ty for your time jmdc [08:15] cllew: well, no problem. I wasn't much help though [08:16] at least i found out that it isn't a completely noobish problem XD [08:17] cllew: yeah, it's really bizarre.

[08:20] (That's system->administration->res. drivers) [08:21] hi all, i'm trying to install nginx here, but i can't find a followsymlinks here, does it even support symlinks? Anyone familiar with nginx ?? [08:23] hey guys....is the peerguardian plugin for ktorrent a safe choice for anonymizing my inocent downloads? and also ...is there a moblock plugin? [08:23] hmm.. the FloodBot(s) are fighting among each other ;) [08:24] harmental, peerguardian is only as effective as its blocklist, just remember that :P [08:24] peer guardian does not hide your IP, it just blocks a list ip addresses from connecting to you via p2p [08:25] any audio format conversion utility [08:25] M-Nagato: i guess that is where my question pointed towards to.....are the lists up-to-date enough? [08:25] should I use xchat or xchat Gnome what's the difference? [08:26] hey guys, i've got a netgear readynas, and i can successfuly mount with cifs all but one share. The one share i cant mount has no authentication on it, but when running the mount command it still asks for a password, and fails regardless of what is typed, can anyone help? [08:26] harmental, well, they're up to date with the KNOWN ips, but that wouldn't really give me much confidence seeing how they can always get a new ip that isn't blocked [08:26] If I want to use 64 bit Linux, do I just use the AMD64 iso to burn a CD, even if I'm using an Intel processor? I just don't see any INTEL64 iso. [08:26] PKdoR, that will be up to you, but for me, regular xchat is better because you can get help with it in #xchat and you can't with xchat-gnome [08:26] any audio format conversion utility [08:27] M-Nagato: i guess it is all about making them harder to catch you... [08:27] levander: the Intel CPU in your machine most likely uses AMD64, despite the name weirdness [08:27] PKdoR, personal preference I think [08:27] found it, convmv does the job for me [08:27] levander: IA64 is found in server CPUs I believe [08:27] levander: so yes AMD64 is what you'd want [08:27] I thought so. Thanks guys. [08:28] why would an intel chip use AMD architecture? [08:28] that sounds a little odd to me O.o [08:28] although so did amd trying to sell out to apple >.> [08:28] bluefox83: I think it's just a name. A name that the linux kernel developers use. It's probably not the name that Intel uses. [08:28] hey guys, when i try to mount any share on my nas, they return "mount error 13 = Permission denied" even though i've confirmed the username and password supplied are correct, i can access these shares through the gnome smb:// vfs, but not through smbmount or cifs, any ideas? [08:28] how can i run autocad in ubuntu? i'm very much into converting to linux-only desktop [08:29] levander, ah ok [08:29] for only on autocad and 3dsmax that i'm having trouble [08:29] bluefox83: That's a guess though, I don't know. [08:29] :) [08:29] whats the deal with the flood bot? [08:29] it's getting a little excessive O.o [08:29] moon_g: search appdb.winehq.com to see if it'll work under wine, otherwise you'd have to run it in a vm [08:30] Lets say I have a desktop with two network cards. One card is connected to the wall, and has full internet access, the other is connected to a laptop without internet access (ATM). I want to forward the connection from eth0 to eth1 and be able to connect my laptop to my desktop and in turn connect it to the internet, is this possible? [08:30] someone is flooding the channell and the bots are trying to deal to them [08:30] moon_g: If you don't get a response in here, you could try searching the gutsy (or upcoming hardy) distributions on packages.ubuntu.com for packages that have the keyword cad in them to find stuff. Then, you'd have to research each found package individually. [08:30] neeto, give me a sec, you could probably do it with a br0 interface. [08:30] i guess running a vm is not an option since i heard that its slow [08:30] thanks btw sluggo [08:31] hardy shouldn't be out for atleast two more months right >.> [08:31] neeto, see if this helps http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-Bridge-netfilter-HOWTO-3.html [08:31] jscinoz: thanks man [08:31] np [08:31] is someone using gnome-xchat right now? is it crash oftenly? [08:31] hi, i currently have a problem with hardy, is this the correct channel to ask for help? [08:32] when did oftenly become a word O.o [08:32] tabenx, #ubuntu+1 [08:32] !hardy [08:32] 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 [08:32] jscinoz, thank you! [08:32] np [08:32] aw... what word do u suggest | bluefox83 [08:33] dhanar_10, "often" would work better :) [08:33] Sorry I am really new to IRC what is the FloodBot? [08:34] Ok, this is my last sed question: is there a way to insert text in front of a line in another file? [08:34] hi all [08:34] enduser, it just keeps the channel in check [08:34] enduser, a scripted bot that makes sure no one can flood the channel [08:34] hey guys, i have a nas with a share i wish to backup too, i can choose to connect via smb/cifs, nfs, rsync, afp, ftp/s, or http. What would be the best protocol to use and whats a suitable program for full and incremental system backups? [08:34] enduser it is an attempt to deal with malicious users [08:34] enduser: they normally don't do this [08:34] thx, my gnome-xchat is crash often... is anyone experience this? or is this just me? [08:35] no one but floodbot that is [08:35] dhanar_10: try installing the regular xchat or another irc app [08:35] someone is getting the ban hammer [08:35] So what just happend with bot 1 going away? [08:35] * bluefox83 finds it asinine to have 3 bots doing the exact same commands at the same time [08:35] I need some help, I would like to know how to change the color of the background just after gdm, because I got blue gdm theme LIGHT BROWN screen and blue wallpaper [08:36] Sabaki: i've tried so many ways to get rid of that. i'd like to know as well [08:36] Everything under the Floodbot seems to be a list of everyone in the chat right now? [08:36] jeffMASTERflex: i'm now using chatzilla. unfortunately it haven't support dcc resume yet. is xchat support it? [08:36] dhanar_10: idk, i use a console irc app weechat [08:37] jeffMASTERflex it seems there is a way to fix it [08:37] there it goes again [08:37] but I don't know it :( [08:37] Sabaki, your answer lies in System->Preferences->appearance->background->colors [08:37] jeddMASTERflex: weechat? ok, i'll search it on google.... [08:38] no, I tried [08:38] bluefox83: it doesn't work. i've tried that [08:38] Thanks for the help everyone. Good night! [08:38] i used to remember how to fix it >.> [08:39] it something related to the start splash screen I think [08:39] Sabaki: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2870075&postcount=11 hope that helps [08:39] thanks I am going to try [08:39] Sabaki, it's sysem->administration->login go to local and change the background color there [08:39] is it safe to remove orphaned libreries? [08:40] PKdoR, yeah [08:40] hey guys, i have a nas with a share i wish to backup too, i can choose to connect via smb/cifs, nfs, rsync, afp, ftp/s, or http. What would be the best protocol to use and whats a suitable program for full and incremental system backups? [08:41] bluefox83: login window backgorund settings doesn't change it either [08:41] jeffMASTERflex, it changed mine O.o [08:41] good evening all! [08:43] Hi. Does anyone know if Cinepaint can import a video file and automatically run an operation on all frames? [08:43] And then output the result as another video file? [08:45] http://www.cinepaint.org/docs/index.html chrislees take a look here [08:46] Hello. I'm new to Ubuntu. I just installed Ubuntu 7.10, overwriting the drive on which I had a broken installation of Windows XP. After installing with the graphical install, I restarted. The same interface didn't load, though. I was presented with a command line, GRUB. I tried messing around with it. Entering boot gave me an error saying that the kernel needed to be loaded, and the kernel command was leaving me very confused. I'm [08:46] Good day, Is it technically possible to make a network chain like: internet cable---WinPC---LinuxPC using 3 lan cards and a crossover cable? [08:47] JulesKahn: you are.. having trouble getting an x server? did you start up in safe mode? [08:47] exit [08:47] JulesKahn-> when grub comes up, just push enter. [08:48] Thanks a lot, kahr :D I'll come back if that doesn't work. [08:48] how can i see who is logged in? I am a new user [08:48] JulesKahn-> GRUB is ubuntu boot program. Windows has one but hidden [08:49] to this channel or to your box alastair_ ;] [08:49] Also, I think I may have installed hardy heron instead of 7.10. I thought it was 7.10 because that is what comes up when I go to about ubuntu under system [08:49] does that change anything? [08:49] i wonder if it is possible to login to windows domain using ubuntu... anyone? [08:49] To this channel please [08:49] JulesKahn-> Whats it say about Ubuntu? [08:49] JulesKahn: in the terminal type lsb_release -a [08:49] what are some bittorent clients for linux other than the official client [08:49] how do I get to the teminal? [08:50] I was just wondering if there is a window that shows all logged on users [08:50] kenalex: Deluge is good... [08:50] transmission, ktorrent, rtorrent deluge, azureus kenalex [08:50] Deluge can import perguardian list [08:50] Thanks bazhang, I guess that answers my question in the negative [08:50] JulesKahn: alt f2 terminal [08:51] thanks guys [08:51] thnks [08:51] I have a share with no password on a NAS. but when i attempt to mount it via mount -t cifs, it asks for a share password (the share doesnt have one) and then says permission denied whatever i type. I can mount every other share (they all have passwords) on this nas just fine. Any ideas? [08:51] dhanar_10: using samba? [08:51] bazhang-> I thought you said ctrl-alt-f2 ..oops [08:51] yeah i guess i got hardy heron installed here [08:51] kahrytan: hehe what does that do? ;] [08:51] so do i still just hit enter on GRUB to boot? [08:51] JulesKahn-> You will want Gutsy .. there isnt support for hardy here. [08:51] is there a way to have the network on when in suspended power saving mode? [08:52] bazhang: yes... [08:52] AlgorthmicContro: for what purpose? [08:52] bazhang-> umm ... try it but to get out. F7 is your friend [08:52] ok.. will I have to redownload the install? I don't have much access to a completely working computer right noe [08:52] dhanar_10: you have read the samba docs? [08:52] bazhang: I'd just like it on, maybe for online backups overnight [08:52] can someone help me to make firefox QUIT taking over when i go to places => FTP site? it opens firefox instead of using ubuntu's nautilus and its really annoying. ideas? [08:52] bazhang-> ctrl-altf2 then cntrlalt-f7 to get out [08:53] AlgorthmicContro: my guess would be no, though only a guess [08:53] arooni-mobile: man update-alternatives [08:53] hello [08:53] jetscreamer, can you just tell me what to type in command line? [08:53] bazhang: not yet, i want to know first if it is possible... I have searched on google, but the results seem to say that it is impossible... [08:53] what does it mean when cp says ommiting directory? im trying to copy from my windows partion to documents using ./ because ive already cded to the directory iw ant it to end it keeps saying omitted [08:53] kahrytan: cheers, but I use konsole ;] [08:53] JulesKahn-> Yeah, [08:54] I have 1000 HTML files I want to open in Firefox, one window, 1000 tabs for stress testing, is there an easy way to do this and not make firefox try to open more processes or put them into new windows? [08:54] bazhang-> It's useful if you dont use admin privies [08:54] arooni-mobile: or just update-alternatives --all to go through everything... no i don't know it off hand, update-alternatives --config x-www-browser or something like that [08:54] Hello [08:54] !samba | dhanar_10 take a look here [08:54] dhanar_10 take a look here: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.

I guess I will just run from cd until I can download the correct installation file [08:55] bazhang: ok, thank you [08:55] I installed ubuntu 7.10 (64bit) this morning, but i'm having some troubles [08:55] JulesKahn-> you can still use hardy to download it.

[08:55] Cin: System -> Admin -> Software Sources -> uncheck the CD-ROM [08:56] bazhang: i'm installing `alien' [08:56] scguy318: it's trying to use the cd instead of internet sources, is that all? that's good. i'll do that [08:56] scguy318: thanks [08:56] warddr: that depends; if you have 4GB+ ram, want to do video compositing then yes, otherwise 32bit is fine [08:56] is there a way to force an app to not eat up more than x% of cpu &/or x amount of ram ? [08:57] hey guys, i have a nas with a share i wish to backup too, i can choose to connect via smb/cifs, nfs, rsync, afp, ftp/s, or http. What would be the best protocol to use and whats a suitable program for full and differential system backups? [08:57] then I'll remove the 64bit and install the 32, i've got 1GB ram and an on-board video card (notebook) [08:57] pteague: avoid firefox ;] [08:57] Also, I have tried on another computer which is "Pintum D" [08:57] jscinoz: rdiff-backup/backupninja [08:57] Any Ides? [08:57] Ideas.. [08:58] what is with these floodbots? [08:58] bazhang: it is hard to avoid firefox.... [08:58] jscinoz: rsync would be my favourite [08:58] bazhang> actually i'm running a couple of game clients & i'm trying to force them not to use as much cpu/memory... they seem to collide with other things [08:58] * mikl spams FloodBot2 with lots of spammity spam [08:58] dhanar_10: just a joke [08:58] warddr-> 64bit ... isn't so supported yet.. hell not even OSX or Windows has support for it.

[08:59] Q: is there a way to throttle cpu based on target cpu temperature? [08:59] How can I search in 'Tracker Search' for search strings that include a space character. Neither "" nor '\ ', '%20' helps. [08:59] dhanar_10: apparently 3.0 is much better ;] [08:59] bazhang> technically cedega, but they're heavily using wineserver [08:59] I've got ubuntu 7.04 32bit, is it easy to update it to 7.10 (I've got a small download limit) [09:00] ronaldo, can you recommend a program to do rsync backups, preferably with a gui, but i can deal with a cli only program [09:00] can someone help me?? my joystick is not working on ubuntu 7.10 but it works in kurumin and mandriva 2008 [09:00] pteague: #winehq might be a better source of info--not much of a gamer myself though others might chip in ;] [09:00] Or can I downgrade ubuntu 7.10 64bit to 32bit? [09:00] warddr: need to reinstall [09:00] bazhang> k, thanks [09:00] bullgard, how about a "_" [09:00] Q: how do you throttle the cpu from the terminal? [09:00] I want to remov Bittorrent but It has to remove the ubuntu desop to is safe to remove the ubuntu destop? [09:01] rafa doing what with your joystick--and which stick? mine works fine with dosbox/zsnes [09:01] bazhang: and 7.04, can I easy update it to 7.10? [09:01] bullgard4, how about a "_" [09:01] warddr: sure [09:01] bazhang: firefox 3.0 is not final yet... i'm following "never gamble on first release no matter how good it sounds" philosophy... [09:01] i've tried with zsnes....and epsxe and cedega... but none worked [09:01] dhanar_10: point well taken [09:02] OK, than I don't need to download a new one [09:02] Rafa: you need to calibrate via the zsnes interface if I recall correctly [09:02] bazhang: Hello [09:02] warddr: no--can be done online [09:03] bazhang: Have you read my question? [09:03] can I select guided - use the largest free disk space with the command line installer? [09:03] should I remove the ubuntu desktop? [09:03] ok so I have one desktop and one laptop, the desktop has two ethernet cards, eth0 and eth1. eth0 is plugged into the wall. eth1 is plugged into my laptop. I bridged both connections and now my laptop, which is connected to the desktop can connect to the internet works, but my desktop can't connect to the internet anymore. [09:03] yeah but when I try, nothing happens.... I've tried to configure with the feature in kde as well but it didn't recognized my joystick... do I have to modprobe or do something on something before??? [09:04] OsamaK: you need to specify the errors--otherwise no way to help [09:04] apt-get install joystick [09:04] morning [09:04] PKdoR: why remove it? space at a premium? [09:04] then if it still doesn't work edit the udev rule and take out the /input on /input/js0 [09:04] Could someone please recommend a rsync based backup application that can be automated? [09:05] !info amanda [09:05] Package amanda does not exist in gutsy [09:05] hmm [09:05] jscinoz: time vault? [09:05] it tells me that joystick is the newest version jetscreamer [09:05] joot: It ignores a '_'. [09:05] bazhang: It was "Can't read XXXX" "Error in reading XXX", this list was shown in a commends lines, I guess I can't copy them, how to report this bug then? [09:05] and how do I edit the udev rule?? [09:05] This is a really minor irritation, but in my notification area I have a gap, and if I put the mouse over it I get a spinning progress indication mouse cursor. Something must have hung, but I can't figure out what. How can I find out? [09:05] bazhang: not at all I just want to remove the defaul bit torrent but its asking to remove the ubunu deskop dependency? [09:06] bullgard4, thats all I know sorry [09:06] Rafa: quake3 doesn't like /dev/input/js0, just /dev/js0 .. not sure if that helps you, but you edit /etc/udev/udev.rules or so to change that [09:06] I tried xwininfo but I just got information on the bar [09:06] bazhang thank you [09:07] PKdoR: not sure why you need to remove it--just set the default to what you want and remove it from the menu--ubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage from what I remember at any rate [09:07] PKdoR: why don't u just hide the bittorrent link on the main menu? i did that.... [09:07] yes, udev.rules [09:07] joot: ok. [09:07] bazhang, is that even in the repo... [09:07] and changing to that configuretion will make it work for zsnes and cedega as well or only for quake 3? [09:07] VSpike: top or htop might help [09:07] how do i find out about the version of a program ? [09:07] I already didt that and I guess thas how its going to stay [09:08] jscinoz: not sure about that--apt-cache search in the terminal will tell you [09:08] bazhang: you mean look for something hogging CPU? No such luck there, unfortunately [09:08] Rafa: if that is the problem, as it is in quake3, then yes... just try it, if it doesn't work, change it back.... you need to reload udev or reboot or so for the changes to take effect [09:08] bazhang it isnt in repo >_< [09:08] make backup first [09:09] I'm trying to open it with sudo gedit /etc/udev/udev.rules but it's showing nothing in the file [09:10] what about sbackup jscinoz [09:10] I don't have the udev.rules file, only the udev.conf.... is that it then??? [09:10] http://ubuntuguide.org/ jscinoz [09:10] thanks [09:10] bazhang: read? :) [09:10] hmm from what i can find it sounds as if timevault SHOULD be in the repo but isnt on mine for some reason [09:11] next question... [09:11] OsamaK: you get grub? or just a black screen with a prompt? tried starting in safe mode? [09:11] I have a share with no password on a NAS. but when i attempt to mount it via mount -t cifs, it asks for a share password (the share doesnt have one) and then says permission denied whatever i type. I can mount every other share (they all have passwords) on this nas just fine. Any ideas? [09:12] ppl I don't have udev.rules.... only udev.conf... but there's nothing about joystick inside [09:13] How do I remove "install" under System>Admin ? I accidentally installed from the package manager and I don't remember what it's package name [09:13] bazhang: I was got "black screen with a prompt", I have tried starting in safe mode (BTW, this computer doesn't have ubuntu yet, only starting from CD) [09:14] Rafa: look into /etc/udev/rules.d/ [09:15] it's not there too,,,, [09:16] OsamaK: this may help: http://www.codepencil.com/index.php/installing-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon-on-my-hp-tx1003au-laptop/ starting with noapic [09:16] if I modprobe joydev, the kde configuration tool recognizes it as /dev/input/js0... if I do that, will the udev.rules appear???? [09:16] bazhang: sudden flash of inspiration.. it was amarok :) [09:16] bazhang: ok, let me try [09:16] VSpike: nice work! [09:17] speedhunt3r: Did you install the "ubiquity" packages? [09:17] OsamaK: though you should read that link ;] [09:17] ok :) [09:17] chrislees: I have no idea... it was long time ago [09:17] When things(video/window/game) move quickly horizontally on my screen, I see horizontal breaks. Windows: no motion problems. Ideas? [09:17] chrislees, would that be the one? [09:17] Imaginal: wrong hsync/vsync? [09:18] modprobe recognized my joystick but no key's responding there... I mean, nothing happens when I try to calibrate it [09:18] Do we need more spam, who owns FloodBot2? [09:18] speedhunt3r: I'm sure it would be the one; check if it's installed in Synaptic [09:18] Imaginal: ati card? ;] [09:18] stf_: probably not [09:18] k [09:18] bazhang: intel card [09:18] OsamaK: sadly they are good bots ;] [09:19] chrislees, yeah found it... [09:19] maybe we need #ubuntu-bots [09:19] if you start a process background in a terminal, and then close the terminal, what happens to its stdout? [09:19] Imaginal: sounds like stf_ has it then [09:19] it goes to null? no idea [09:19] chrislees, so i uninstall it, yeah? [09:19] VSpike: without the &? [09:19] bazhang: no, with the & [09:19] Is there a way to set a X background instantly when it's started? I tried putting xsetbg right after xinit in startx, but it takes almost a second for the background to show. Until then I have the default grainy X background [09:19] oy vey with the floodbots [09:20] bazhang: I mean a GUI process specifically, sorry [09:20] speedhunt3r: Yes, uninstall it [09:20] ohhh unfortunatelly I g2g now ppl, but tnx for the help there.... bye all [09:20] bye rafa [09:21] chrilees, thanks...that fixed it [09:21] VSpike: I usually do those from alt f2 so not really sure [09:21] ok so I have two ethernet ports on my desktop, one is connected to the wall, the other is connected to my laptop. I've added eth1 and eth0 to br0 and enabled routing. Now my laptop gets internet through my desktop, but my desktop gets no connection at all. In theory, I think the way to fix this would be to bridge a local loopback with eth1 and a local loopback to eth0 and then forward eth0... [09:21] ...to my laptop (since that is the port it's using to connect) however, I can't bind lo to bridges... anyone know of a way around this predicament? [09:21] stf_: Normal operations are ok... only faster motions cause horizontal sheering... in h/vsync, aren't there ranges? [09:22] neeto in theory that's crazy :) [09:22] Kevin`: well, you should help me figure it out then [09:22] haha [09:22] well, I mean in actuality it's crazy too [09:23] let me reread it to get the full situation [09:23] alright [09:23] Imaginal: dunno. [09:23] neeto all you need to do is configure networking on the bridge interface [09:23] stf_: thank you anyway :) [09:23] neeto: when i do kernel level routing, i switch off all networking first and make sure that any and all demons are switched off [09:23] np [09:24] can I select Manual - Use the largest continuous free space with the alternate installer? [09:24] * bazhang set floodbots to /ignore [09:24] basically what's happening is eth0 (laptop-desktop) is bypassing the connection on eth1 (desktop-connection) and just going straight to eth0 [09:24] If that's any less confusing [09:24] which I'm sure it's not [09:24] neeto eth0 and eth1 should be configured up without an ip address [09:25] they both are [09:25] neeto br0 should be configured with an ip address [09:25] It is [09:25] do you have any firewall rules present [09:25] nope [09:26] neeto do you have a route configured to the internet [09:26] yep, and it's bound to the address of br0 [09:26] where can I find the defaulsound for pidgin? [09:26] that's how I am talking to you right now [09:26] neeto I thought it wasn't working [09:27] Kevin`: the situation is that the internet on my desktop isn't working, but on my laptop it's working fine. [09:27] i have a "problem" with evolution mail. the messages are being downloded really slowly - 2 seconds per regular email. It used to download (in thunderbird) a 100 in a few seconds. [09:27] neeto I thought the desktop was the one with the bridge [09:27] the desktop is actually connected to the internet from the wall, and the laptop is connected to the desktop [09:27] any idea what could be the problem if everytime someone enters his usr name and password to login, the pc restarts? [09:27] the desktop is the one with the bridge because it's the one with two ports [09:27] oh god this is super confusing... I wish i could draw a diagram [09:28] ppl I returned just to tell that my prob is solved... I just sudo modprobe joydev and it worked.. [09:28] neeto you have said the desktop is not working, yet you say it's working because you are using it [09:28] neeto what is not working [09:28] nice work rafa [09:28] how do i stop pppoe-conf from running on boot up? [09:28] I just don't know how to make it work in boot [09:28] heh [09:28] how can I put it to work since boot?? [09:29] Ok I am talking to you via my laptop right now. My laptop is connected to the internet through br0 which is a bridge between eth0 and eth1 on my desktop. The desktop is plugged into the internet but is not connected, the laptop which is connected to my desktop, but not plugged into the wall, is connected via the bridge on my desktop. [09:29] Rafa: add it to /etc/modules [09:30] oh tnx... [09:30] The desktop has no internet connectivity other than the packets it's simply forwarding to my laptop to enable it to be on the internet right now [09:30] neeto I heard some confusion before about enabling routing. did you install a dhcp server or such that would interfere with the rest of the network [09:31] neeto what is your ip address on each machine and the router [09:31] now I'm really off before mom get's mad at me, heaheaheah I really appreciate your help guys, tnx a lot... later I'll try to make fable work in wine [09:31] nope, no servers of any kind, simply 2 ethernet ports on my desktop with a bridge and one ethernet port on my laptop [09:31] without the weird box on the left corner I mean [09:31] c ya ppl and tnx again [09:32] Is there a way to set a X background instantly when it's started? I tried putting xsetbg right after xinit in startx, but it takes almost a second for the background to show. Until then I have the default grainy X background [09:33] neeto ? [09:33] ok Laptop:eth0: 207.62.165.41 [09:33] neeto ok, here is your problem. [09:33] ok [09:34] I'm taking a break until these floodbots have been reined in ;] [09:34] what's this floodbot 1 sets mode -J ? [09:34] neeto you are connected directly to your isp in one way or another, which will only give out one ip to you. in order to use two computers you will have to use NAT+routing instead of a bridge [09:34] anyone know of any download manager that supports throttling? [09:35] make up your mind floodbot! [09:36] :[ [09:36] neeto if you are at a university or such, you may just have to register the other computer or contact your IT folks, it's possible they would give you another ip [09:36] Kevin`: ok, well, I am actually on a school network which allows me only one IP address and I don't have a router. Is there any way that I can enable NAT+routing without extra hardware, using the same setup that I have right now? [09:37] neeto yes. [09:37] Kevin`: They won't give me another... it's against policy to have two machines on the same connection (shh) [09:38] neeto since you seem familiar with this stuff at least somewhat, here's what I would do in your place: [09:38] a switbox it's the cheapest thing that comes to mind [09:38] neeto install ISC BIND and dhcpd, configure them, enable ip routing on the desktop (simple setting) [09:38] neeto, [09:39] neeto put this rule or similar in your firewall configuration to enable NAT: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wan_interface_name -j MASQUERADE [09:39] alright cool, I think I can do this. [09:39] neeto configure a private ip address on the lan interface [09:40] neeto there's an easier way if you want. [09:40] Screw easy, I want to learn [09:40] ok, good luck :) [09:40] configure the lan ip first btw [09:40] since the configuration for dhcp relies on that [09:41] neeto bind is used just as a caching server, which is a waste perhaps, but it's the best ;) [09:41] neeto and also isn't needed, but it speeds up lookups to have [09:42] I need help with a few things.... First I finally found out why my pci video card wasn't working with ubuntu and it was because I have a dell. I found code to blacklist the onboard video card so I wouldn't get a kernel panic or frozen boot. I got my machine to get to the loading gnome part but then the screen goes blank and my system never finishes booting. Any ideas? [09:42] PKdoR what's a switbox? [09:43] alanbshepard70: Err, it's not a problem with Ubuntu it's a problem with the timing of the Xorg server - it does that to some monitors - it takes to long, or scans too high in resolutions/refreshes and the monitor goes into 'stand-by' [09:43] Kevin`: thanks man... I'll keep you posted on my progress [09:43] can someone help me get my video card working? [09:43] juice_: What sort of video card do you have? [09:44] Thurinl: nvidia 8800 GT OC [09:44] * warddr gaat de draadloze verbinding nog eens testen [09:44] Thurin1: yea exactly, my monitor went into standby. Though I never heard the login sound. Could that be because xorg was busy and my computer never got to that point? [09:44] juice_: You should just add 'nv' to your device line and that should be that [09:44] juice_: no [09:44] Thurinl: how? [09:44] nv doesn't support it [09:44] alanbshepard70: It could be - the same thing happens to my monitor in Ubuntu and anything based on it actually [09:44] jetscreamer:? [09:44] jetscreamer: No? [09:45] hello, someone pls help me on my anjuta... i cant compile a simple hello, world on it...? [09:45] Thurin1: Have a fix or is it just trial and error? I'm desperate to get this to wrk. [09:45] ftp://x.org/pub/X11R7.0/doc/html/nv.4.html [09:45] alanbshepard70: Download the PCLinuxOS iso - you will see what I mean - that will boot fine, I don't know what it is but ever since the new Xorg there has been problems with that - especially for people with ATI based video cards. [09:46] alanbshepard70: For me it was trial and error - but since I do not use Linux much it was not the end all be all [09:46] you need the nvidia, juice_ [09:46] !nvidia [09:46] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [09:46] juice_: or there's http://linux.hfds.com/files/n-i.txt [09:47] how to make xfwm to be my default compositing manager?

[09:47] guys.. pls help me.. i cant run a simple c program on my anjuta.. [09:47] jetscreamer: k thx [09:47] hello I've borked /etc/init.d/networking file [09:47] can anyone send me a copy ? [09:48] Thurin1: Even with my onboard video card when I log in and the screen blanks then comes back on sometimes the video never comes back. Through another distro It was described as "Out of sync" and that ctrl+alt+numplus would fix it. For that distro it did fix the occasional problem. The same keys don't work with ubuntu, is there another set of shortcut keys? [09:48] reverseblade: wat particular file do u need? [09:49] PoGz ,/etc/init.d/networking [09:49] reverseblade: k let me see.. [09:51] reverseblade: did u get it? [09:51] PoGz, no [09:51] can you paste bin ? [09:51] I just installed and started "Aria", and it's really ugly. The interface is small and the text is hard to read. Also, all the menus get compiz animations, which makes me feel slightly seasick. Is there any way to integrate this app into my desktop a bit better? [09:52] nope [09:52] Hi. Can someone refresh my memory on how to draw circles or ovals in GIMP? I'm trying to highlight portions of a screenshot for user documentation.

I terminated compiz.real but xfce doesn't let me run window manager settings or window manager tweaks saying that I have another compositing manager running!? no one helps me on xfce or xubuntu [09:53] white_eagle: have you tried `xfwm --replace`? [09:53] white_eagle: also, remove compiz-manager from your autostart scripts [09:53] stf_, yes [09:53] oh [09:54] ok [09:54] the command: "xfwm --replace" failed to run [09:54] is anyone here using hardy?

During my testing for my video card i was unable to login with video and I couldn't undo my onboard video blacklist. I would have just booted a live cd and altered the file but I installed ubuntu using encrypted LVM and I couldn't mount the encrypted filesystem with the live cd [09:55] anyone know hot to install linux from live cd run lvl 1?

[10:01] alanbshepard71 simplest is to put it in /etc/rc.local. but yes, how do you think everything gets started on startup? [10:03] Kevin': from what I gather there is a startup script with a list of commands to run (at some point in the boot process), I just want to add a command to that list, unless of course I'm way off. [10:03] Are there any good basic articles on virtualization? I haven't quite understood why I would like to have for example my database server on one virtual machine and apache on one. Isn't that just a waste of resources? [10:04] reverseblade: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=534956 the file is here [10:04] Hey..

[10:34] davidw also: avoid if possible [10:35] Kevin`, can't avoid it, unfortunately [10:35] latest ubuntu is complaining about missing firmware microcode [10:35] I used to use one of those cards, but it broke so I switched to an intel mini-pci [10:36] davidw the firmware is copyrighted and can't be distributed by itself, you have to extract it. the bot here probaly has simple instructions but I dont know how to use it [10:36] !fwcutter [10:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about fwcutter - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:36] bah [10:36] !bcm43xx [10:36] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [10:38] Kevin`, excellent, thanks! [10:38] Hello all, I have a question. I just got a DL385 G2 and I'm trying to install 6.06 Server LTS but I can not get the network cards detected. Has anyone had any luck installing on this machine? [10:39] I've got a tricky network problem [10:39] tricky eh? [10:40] <_ruben> Dusten: 6.06 or 6.06.2? the latter has more driver support [10:40] WHen running ifconfig -a, only eth1 comes up [10:40] why is there no eth0 ? [10:40] ubuntu's apache setup is frusterating me [10:40] _ruben: yes the 6.06.2 [10:40] <_ruben> MrMist: you dohave 2 network cars? [10:40] <_ruben> cards [10:40] _ruben: Nope [10:40] mrmist because you switched network cards somehow and the names are by default based on mac address and retained. [10:40] hello everybody [10:41] fricken htaccess isnt working YES i know allowoverride all! [10:41] Kevin`: Ah... I installed a hard-drive into another computer [10:41] Kevin`: Is there any way I can switch the internal MAC reference then ? [10:41] mrmist look in /etc/udev* [10:41] <_ruben> MrMist: check /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [10:41] that's it. [10:42] IMO just delete everything in the file and reboot [10:42] How do I capture loopback traffic from MySQL client/server? [10:43] I'm trying 7.10 Server now but the env. is running 6.06.2 [10:43] I see nothing on Wireshark loopback interface. [10:43] _ruben: Thanks a LOT :) [10:43] Solved my problem completely [10:43] <_ruben> nice [10:43] gotta reboot now [10:43] :) [10:43] gatestone your probably using a filesystem socket instead of a network socket [10:43] Running basic Gutsy here. [10:43] Kevin, how do I tell MySQL to use network socket? [10:44] gatestone I think if you give it a port number it will do it [10:44] ok, thx, Kevin, I'll try. === notpalomer is now known as palomer [10:44] it's been a while, I don't remember the proper way :) [10:46] I am going to upgrade my system -- new processor, video card and more memory. Will that require the Ubunto being reloaded? [10:47] Dagon probably not. you might have to reconfigure X for the new video card [10:47] d [10:47] thanks. I was afraid I was going to have to do a complete reinstall. [10:48] So I just tryed 7.10 Server [10:48] and it detects the cards just fine [10:48] brings them up as a [10:48] BCM5708 [10:48] anyone know where to get this driver from [10:49] Dusten kernel.org most likely [10:49] and how to use the dd command when installing 6.062 [10:49] I was hoping for it to be precomiled [10:49] like if I could just pull it off the 7.10 disk [10:50] where does dd come into it [10:50] you could just pull it off the disk, if the kernel version is the same [10:50] or get it from the ubuntu repos [10:50] it's a boot option you can pass to the installer telling it that you want to use a driver === crypt0 is now known as cryptoz === KIAaze is now known as KIAaze|away [10:52] I have a question, does debootstrap work for or is supported by ubuntu? [10:52] Kevin`: ofcourse ;) [10:52] Dusten there's a different sort of option for you ^ [10:54] I don't under stand what you mean by debootstraping kevin` [10:54] Dusten boot from linux that has ethernet working and use that to install and make the system workable [10:55] it's a package/script [10:55] debian === Kopfgeldjaeger is now known as KGJ|will_nen_eee [10:55] Hi, I have an odd problem, I have 4 workspaces, but if i select any of them, my ubuntu crashes, but using compiz i can show 4. [10:56] hey all, im fairly new to linux and lov it :P my problem is im allways googleing on howto do things and going through howto's that dont seem to work, and i find i mess things up. is there any good sites i can get good info for gutsy? [10:56] I could do that but our whole role out system and installation process is based on 6.06.2 === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFK [10:57] I would love to just run a different distro but it's just not an option [10:57] well at lest until the next LTS comes out [10:58] Dusten I mean use debootstrap to install 6.whatever [10:58] üdv nincs itt véletlenül magyar ember? [10:58] I guess I still don't follow [10:59] !nl [10:59] Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl [10:59] ? [10:59] All I need to subscribe to one of the comp.os.linux newsgroups is pan and the name of the group right? [11:00] Dusten just find the driver in use in the newer stuff and see if a package exists for the version your using. if not make one [11:01] ah [11:01] ok [11:01] that's what I was looking to do [11:01] when i play my .avi files ... they play in black n white ... can someone help me with this ? [11:01] I think I have found the package in 7.10 [11:01] http://www.linuxhelp.net/resources/#lists or any of the newgroups there... [11:01] I just need to find out which one it is [11:01] the cards where detected correctly [11:02] what could be the problem if after putting in my user name and password the screen goes blank and reappears? === rocco is now known as cbx33 [11:03] hello? [11:03] Arvin_ probably you logged in but the session failed to start or crashed [11:03] Arvin_: common cause is /home has no space or is not writable [11:03] anyone there ??? ........... [11:03] Drixx: plenty as you can see [11:03] Drixx no [11:04] Kevin: I don't think so because it keeps comming back to same screen, it happened after I updated the system and it required a restart. [11:04] can u hel me with this plz ?? [11:04] Arvin_: boot into safe mode and check the log files [11:04] help* [11:04] Drixx: I've not seen you ask a question [11:04] Arvin_ it comes back to the same screen because the DM restarts itself when you log out [11:04] when i play my .avi files ... they play in black n white ... can someone help me with this ? [11:05] Drixx: Have you tried another player first of all? [11:05] Drixx probably related to your video card overlay but I don't know the issue or solution [11:05] KEvin`: so it's a problem with the display manager or ? [11:05] Kevin`: not that good at trouble shootig [11:05] Arvin_ no, it's probably not the display manager [11:06] hello [11:06] Kevin`: where's the logfile that i need to check? [11:06] Thurin1: tried in all the players ... but still gives the same problem ..... [11:06] Arvin_ not sure, try the one for xorg [11:06] Drixx confirm that it plays correctly with -vo x11 [11:07] Drixx: Ok, what you might want to try is VLC, you could try choosing another output plugin. [11:07] (may play slowly) [11:07] Drixx: What video card do you have anyways? [11:07] hi everyone [11:07] The new Xorg seems to be horrible with ATI [11:07] i have a problem, i have a S3 Trio 64, and i can't define more than 800*600 for my screen, is someone has soon see this problem [11:07] Kevin`: what should I look for in the log file? will it say such and such caused an error? I've never done this before.. [11:07] i was wondering if there was any way to trainsfer packages from windows to kubuntu by a cd [11:08] Arvin_ things that look like a problem, heh [11:08] as i need to put a package on a non internet ubuntu [11:08] i need help to gamba2 it keeps saying this when ever i try and load it (im gtting the output if i run in terminal) i get this:ERROR: #27: Cannot load component 'gb.desktop': cannot find library file [11:08] jhend60: Sure.. download 'debs' [11:08] jhend60 sure, put the package file on the cd.. [11:08] and i dont have ubuntu on this computer [11:08] Thurin1 : i've tried it in vlc too ... but the same problem is there ... [11:08] Kevin`: heh..i'll give it a shot... is there a rescue mode in the cd I could use if I can't fix the problem? [11:08] is that all? and then it will install? but what about dependencies [11:09] Arvin_ yes. not worth it, just press ctrl+alt+f1 and log in [11:09] Thurin1 : till yesterday it was workin jus fine ... but i dunno wat happened today ... [11:09] Drixx: That's a weird problem - did you change outputs in VLC? - Go to video options and tinker with the output's if you have not already done so. [11:09] Drixx: Umm [11:09] Kevin`: you mean log into the CLI and check the log file... [11:09] Drixx: Is it ALL avi's or just this one in particular? [11:09] okay i'll try that... [11:09] It could be a codec issue [11:09] all ... [11:09] Arvin_ better then rebooting to try each thing. [11:10] any1 help me? [11:10] Drixx did you reboot? or at least reload the video driver somehow? [11:10] Drixx: .. You must have changed something if it was working up until now, think and retrace your steps [11:11] kevin' : tried reebooting .. but no luck . [11:11] yeah, what did you do between yesterday and today [11:11] rebooting will do nothing, a configuration file or something has been altered. [11:11] Hello. [11:12] Drixx: Have you installed any other multi-media software since yesterday? [11:12] !anybody | jhend60 [11:12] jhend60: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [11:12] Thurin1 it will reset the video card and overlay settings, and reload any driver messed itself up [11:12] Any new video players, or audio ones - ones that would install, or reference codecs? [11:12] Thurin1: i don't remember doing anything like that .... [11:12] ok then im trying to download a package on windows and put it on kubuntu [11:12] through a cd [11:12] have you tried RealPlayer10? [11:12] Drixx: You could always check your system log ;) /var/log - go through there [11:12] sigh... server is down, because i don't have any thermal paste [11:12] Thurin1: kk. [11:13] jhend60 why not use a usb drive. cds are slow to write for a single use [11:13] ok i will use usb [11:13] Kevin`: Indeed, but if it was the video card - I think the symptoms would be a little more severe than black and white video [11:13] here i go with the anyone thing lol well anyways i need help gettin gambas2 working can "anybody" help? [11:13] so how do i doo that [11:13] heres the one i need [11:13] http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/games/wesnoth-all [11:13] Drixx: Try this... - dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver (or xserver-xorg) [11:13] Thurin1 video display like that is a seperate function of the card. AND i've seen this before, I just don't remember what causes it [11:14] Kevin`: ok so, I've been trying to get this forwarding + NAT to work with ipmasq, however, when I install it, my internet connection on both machines disappears... could this be due to the outside network configuration? [11:14] so when i have downloaded packages and put on usb what do i have to do to install them all [11:14] Drixx: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (or vice versa) - you will reset all of your video settings, you may want to keep a back up of /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:14] jhend60, if they're a .deb file, you can use dpkg [11:15] Kevin`: Whatever it is, it sure puts a crimp in 'fun-time' :P [11:15] sudo dpkg -i (package).deb should install it [11:15] neeto guessing is bad. pastebin brctl show, ifconfig -a, route -n, and iptables-save [11:15] righto [11:15] ok but theres many many dependencies i need to download [11:15] is there any tool for windows to download them all [11:15] jhend60: i beileave you could make a bash script to do it for you [11:16] i also think you might be able to throw the .debs into /var/cache/apt/archives/ and use apt-get to install it like you normally would, just without downloading [11:16] M-Nagato: You can't use apt-get without the net [11:16] :P [11:16] His problem is the machine will have no net [11:16] youll have to research bash i cant remeber how. [11:16] cya [11:16] and i only have access to Windows [11:16] dark* how uselessly unspecific. a bash script. [11:17] by Drixx you will need to /etc/init.d/gdm stop before resetting the xorg/server [11:17] how can I check what programs are currently running? [11:17] Thurin1, there's a --no-download function that can be used [11:17] and it'll only use packages that are already on the system [11:17] After you're done /etc/init.d/gdm restart [11:17] yes but is there a tool for windows to download the packages and dependencies [11:17] M-Nagato: Yes, but if that is the case - he might as well install slackware on the machine - it will be just as tedious. [11:17] jhend60: Not that I know of [11:17] I doubt it ... seriously doubt it [11:17] Thurin1 : thanx dude .... it works ..... [11:17] But Windows has a LOT of software [11:18] Drixx: Yay [11:18] :] [11:18] hehe, that is true, but it'd be a little be easier than dkpging every file by hand :) [11:18] Drixx: Keep that whole command in mind, it comes in very useful ;) [11:18] perm__ man ps, or ps aux or similar [11:19] hi there i have a question [11:19] Thurin1 : sure will .... thnx once again ..;) [11:19] :] [11:19] anyone knows how i can modify the route autogenerated by ifup eth0 ? === saied_ is now known as Saied [11:20] Kevin`: [11:20] beasty you configured it, unless you are using dhcp..

[11:20] sarkie: are you using firefox to try and install it? [11:20] i was [11:21] tried snaptic [11:21] sarkie: the firefox installer has been broken for a while, go to the adobe site and download the package from them [11:21] Hi, I have a weird problem in the Terminal on GNOME, now when I am typing if I press t twice it becomes a u [11:21] theres a bug out, because adobe didnt change the filename [11:21] !flashissues [11:21] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. Fixes have landed in -proposed for testing, but most most users are advised to wait until packages are approved and released in -updates. [11:21] But it is only in the Terminal [11:21] neeto you have no private ip configured [11:21] Hey guys I have just installed gutsy gibbon, enabled the restricted modules for my ATI Radeon x700 and now have Dual Monitors working fine! How do I get compiz fusion working with it (i've had it working fine on single monitor) im just a bit scared to setup compiz and it breaks my desktop any advice would greatly be apprciated? [11:21] neeto internet should still be working though [11:21] neeto, the .tar? [11:21] Kevin`: I know, I had to turn off all those settings to be able to get back on and ask you what to do... [11:22] Thurin1 : dude ... it went black n white again ...:( [11:22] Just install flash manually, untar, close browsers and place in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. [11:22] Drixx: You're kidding? [11:22] !seen orjawlan [11:22] sarkie: yea, download it into a directory and do tar xf filename.tar.gz [11:22] neeto well, it doesn't help to find the problems if you show the settings when it's not broken [11:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about seen orjawlan - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:22] HRMMM [11:22] i have a problem with gstreamer or soundcard, when i run test on Preferences > Sound this error appears: gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open resource for writing. [11:22] 'mornin all [11:22] Kevin`: lol gimme a break I'm tired.... [11:22] Hi [11:22] neeto you might have a problem with ipmasq trying to work with vmnet* instead of eth0 though [11:23] llo Steffanx [11:23] yeah are .rpm supported by ubuntu yet or is that a pipe dream? since alien was poor last time i tried [11:23] Gunirus, mag ik niet meer alleen in een kanaal :P [11:23] Thurin1 : dunno how .... it ws workin jus fine ..... n when i closed d player opened another file ... its black n white ... [11:23] Steffanx: i was here before you :p [11:23] Drixx: ok, do not leave [11:23] sarkie: RPM isn't _supported_ and probably will never be... but alien is pretty good (don't know when you looked at it last_ [11:23] Kevin`: I'll go break it again and write everything to a file to pastebin [11:23] Gunirus, no way! [11:23] Drixx: I have a website for you - but I need to load IRC in X, I'm in console right now. [11:23] neeto i'm tired too, and I have class today. so you'll have to ask someone else in here or ##networking, sorry [11:24] sarkie: for almost anything there's an RPM of, you can get a deb of it, too [11:24] nemilar, quite a few years ago. yeah i was looking for the flash.deb [11:24] Thurin1 : ?? [11:24] Kevin`: no worries man... thanks for all your help, karma points for you ++ [11:24] Can anyone help me to get rid of the accented character typing in the gnome terminal? [11:24] somebody knows where i can find my sound back? The new also threw it away :( [11:24] sarkie: use the ubuntu flash fix [11:24] *alsadriver [11:24] !flash > sarkie [11:24] Thurin1 : kk .....

[11:25] sarkie, the .tar.gz file on the adobe website is all you should need. you could manually copy over the plugin, or you can use the flash installer program to copy it over [11:26] night all, I'm off to study math for the midterm tomorrow [11:26] If not - it is a 'known' issue apparently - he is the official solution --- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=608510 [11:26] wish me luck [11:26] If not - it is a 'known' issue apparently - he is the official solution --- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=608510 [11:26] text scrolls so quick in here :) [11:26] Steffanx: can you describe the problem more specifically?

It is saying /usb/lib/mozilla but won't accept it? [11:27] /usr/lib/firefox [11:27] says "not a directory" [11:27] Steffanx: what do you mean when you say it's gone? is your sound card not recognized? [11:27] might need a trailing / [11:27] meh [11:27] Thurin1 : u there dude ?? [11:27] scratch that [11:27] not recognized indeed [11:27] got it working? [11:27] M-Nagato, typed usb/ fingers quicker than my brain [11:27] i used the 'tutorial' of the ubuntu website [11:28] hehe :) [11:28] hdaintel or something [11:28] Drixx: Yes [11:28] Drixx: Did you see what I pasted?

[11:29] Cheers, M-Nagato , nemilar ,neeto :) Very much appreciated, do any of you use Compiz Fusion btw? Having one other issue [11:29] Drixx: AHh :) [11:29] nemilar, aplay sound.wax says http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54700/ [11:29] sarkie: better chance asking in #compiz [11:30] cheers again nemilar : [11:30] :) [11:30] Steffanx: yeah that ain't good [11:30] Steffanx: do you know what your sound card is? [11:31] 00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) [11:32] according lspci [11:32] how do I block an user to use pen drivers/storage USB devices? Just uses keyboard and mouse usb? [11:32] Steffanx: anything come up if you do 'dmesg | grep -i audio' ? [11:33] no, nemilar [11:34] Steffanx: lsmod | grep snd_intel8x0 [11:35] anything? [11:35] Bagualas: i'd start by looking at the different groups. do you have to be a member of plugdev to use external usb drives? i dunno [11:35] but there is a lot of 'info' about snd_hda_intel in my dmesg [11:36] Good afternoon [11:36] Steffanx: is that snd_intel module loaded? [11:36] anyone know how to convert file from pdf to doc ? [11:36] nemilar, maybe. I configured it .. [11:36] the wrong module? [11:36] Steffanx: possibly [11:36] i compiled it with that module [11:36] howlingmadhowie, hummm, but i need keyboard and mouse to workd =\ [11:36] A[D]minS: donno if you can go directly from pdf to doc.... [11:37] àáðàêàäàáðà [11:37]  [11:37] nemilar: my main point is i am looking for one step do it :) because i found on google 3 steps lol pdf2ps bla bla [11:37] :) [11:37] Bagualas: my suggestion would be just to try it out. it's possible that mouse and keyboard are converted to ps2 connections on the motherboard itself [11:37] indeed Trulli [11:37] A[D]minS: but you could convert from pdf to something else, and then to doc [11:37] lol === KIAaze|away is now known as KIAaze [11:38] nemilar: ;) [11:38] nemilar, do i need to compile it with 'snd_intel8x0'? [11:38] A[D]minS: i think OpenOffice.org vs 3 is going to have pdf editing capabilities [11:38] Steffanx: that's the appropriate module, yes [11:38] howlingmadhowie i hope so [11:39] howlingmadhowie, i will try, thanks man! :) [11:39] What is a good cli MSN messenger client?

[11:39] basti: ask in #kubuntu [11:39] A[D]minS: I said cli, not X ;D [11:39] As far as I know Amsn only works in X [11:40] Sqeege: pidgin has a CLI interface [11:40] nemilar, where did you found that my card has that id? [11:40] Sqeege: yup [11:40] Steffanx: just googled it [11:40] actually, it's technically not pidgin, it's libpurple [11:40] Sqeege sorry :) i though X :P [11:40] there's a CLI interface for libpurple [11:40] nemilar: It does, but I said 'good' ;) pidgin even sucks in X [11:41] Sqeege: beggars can't be choosers [11:41] Sqeege: centericq is CLI, does MSN, and a few other protocols. [11:41] and it is in the repos. [11:42] hellion0: Yes, yes let's try that one. [11:43] In Gutsy, you get a nice printer icon in the top right panel. Unless you click it and say "Hide" :( Any idea how to get it back?

[11:43] Nemilar: checking for which soundcards to compile driver for... configure: error: Unknown soundcard snd_intel8x0 [11:43] i have made a new partition where i want to put my current /etc ..how to copy on it without breaking all? [11:44] Steffanx: do a ./configure --help and see if it has info for you [11:44] mrdavidlaing: Right click on the panel "add applet" [11:44] <_sam_> hi, i've installed an ADSL modem to my linux-router in bridge mode, thus setting up PPPoE [11:44] <_sam_> how do i make sure the link always restarts on it own, and my ISP drop at times? [11:45] _sam_: you're saying you want to make sure your linux box re-gets a connection from the router, in case the router drops? [11:45] hi [11:45] is there a way to disable trash dir for certain volumes? [11:45] (gnome) [11:46] cousin_luigi: unfortunately, I don't think so.... but the new version of Ubuntu due out in April will fix the problems with the trash [11:46] what problem? [11:46] elwo0d: cp -R as root should do it [11:46] cousin_luigi: the one you mentioned, for one ;) [11:46] but it does work with smb shares [11:47] cousin_luigi: also, there's no "restore" in the trash, if you didn't notice [11:47] howlingmadhowie, and permission and link will be preserved? [11:47] nemilar: hmm...no [11:47] nemilar: then how does smb work in that regard? [11:47] Hey, can someone /ctcp version me and tell me what the response is? [11:47] elwo0d: have a look at "man cp" [11:47] cousin_luigi: I donno... probably just has something to do with samba being samba [11:47] Sqeege: no response [11:48] -Sqeege- VERSION irssi v0.8.12 - running on FreeBSD i386 [11:48] nemilar: Ok thanks [11:48] yup [11:48] I thought it would say version 7 :( [11:48] nemilar: ah:) [11:48] I feel gipped [11:48] haha [11:48] lol [11:48] howlingmadhowie, i see - dpR..it will be better? [11:50] elwo0d: i think "dp" is tautoligical, but it should still work [11:50] howlingmadhowie, ok thanks [11:51] elwo0d: try it on a test folder first [11:52] howlingmadhowie, i am doing with some mp3 :) [11:53] hey what's the command to create an iso in cli? dd= somethin? [11:53] Arvin_: copying a cd/dvd? [11:53] nemilar: yeah [11:53] Arvin_: it's easier to use readcd for that [11:54] readcd dev=/dev/device f=output.iso [11:54] thanks/ [11:55] hello ubuntu peeps [11:57] hei guys, u knoe which file to set so that my vim can show colored highlighting [11:58] <_ruben> cUBUc: /etc/vim/vimrc [11:59] _ruben : think i will try to get some user modded vimrc files instead... :D .. u knoe of any.. i will google also [12:00] I have a internal something-in-one card reader one my machine which used to work with linux-2.6.20. I didn't use it for a while and now I (with 2.6.22 kernel) find it is no more working. I also tried 2.6.24 and it doesn't work. Actually it's reading the cards that doesn't work - it also has plug which perfectly works. Any hints? [12:02] <_ruben> cUBUc: ~/.vimrc [12:02] mnemonic_: Is it an internal USB connection? [12:03] Hi all [12:03] I would like to know how hybrid disks are managed by Linux ? [12:03] iNeo, the reader is plugged to a free USB bus which lies directly on the mainboard - so I guess. [12:04] mnemonic_: Then take a look at the USB modules and proceses [12:04] I am hesitating between purchasing a classic 7200 tpm hard drive or a hybrid 5400 tpm one with 1 Go of flash memory...with [12:05] which will be the fastest ? is the flash memory supported by the kernel ? [12:06] iNeo, one sec, I'll do. Strange thing is, if I connect an external reader it works fine. [12:07] mnemonic_: Hmmm, maybe an other usb module has to be loaded, try to find out what USB hardware is used internal [12:07] mnemonic_: goodluck [12:08] so no one knows or have a laptop with it ??? [12:09] iNeo, I need to reboot (on a hardy life CD - and USB doesn't seem to work at all for me on it). [12:10] Phocean_: I don't even know what that flash memory is supposed to do.. do you? [12:10] Phocean_: is it used for cache? or just another device built into the hard drive? [12:10] mneptok: is it possible that it is disabled in the bios settings of the mainboard [12:10] Slart, no exactly, that is the problem. On google I can't find much info. It seems that Vista supports it and optimize the transfers [12:10] Slart, I wonder if it is the case with our kernel [12:11] mnemonic: is it possible that it is disabled in the bios settings of the mainboard [12:11] Phocean_: vista can use any flash memory.. be it built-in or just a usb-stick.. [12:11] Slart, if this is not used smartly, I would better use a 7200 disk, don't you think so ? [12:11] Hey guys does anyone here have experience with ATI Radeon x700 + Dual Monitor + Compiz Fusion on ubuntu gutsy? I am able to get the dual monitor working by itself and also I can get compiz fusion working by itself (with no dual screen). What I can't seem to do is get dual monitor working with compiz fusion at the same time, anyone help me out i've tried some many howtos etc they just borked my desktop? [12:11] Phocean_: indeed [12:12] crikey [12:12] how did I get in here? [12:12] how can i force a check of my ext file system on next boot? [12:13] anyone? [12:13] you'd think if I wanted support for ubuntu I'd find an easier way to get it than installing xchat [12:13] TimStarling__: this channel is auto join bu default [12:13] jimjoe: saying anyone is no help if you want someone answer your question - ask it clear [12:13] zero-9377: there is a file you create/touch somewhere.. can't remember the filename exactly [12:13] ikonia: did you read me question? [12:13] no [12:13] ikonia: to me its clear: [12:13] Hey guys does anyone here have experience with ATI Radeon x700 + Dual Monitor + Compiz Fusion on ubuntu gutsy? I am able to get the dual monitor working by itself and also I can get compiz fusion working by itself (with no dual screen). What I can't seem to do is get dual monitor working with compiz fusion at the same time, anyone help me out i've tried some many howtos etc they just borked my desktop? [12:13] ask it then [12:13] i did ask? === cnus8ff is now known as cnus8n [12:13] scroll up? [12:13] see you later [12:14] hang on a minute maybe its not getting printed to the channel [12:14] How do I find what files belongs to a certain package? [12:14] jimjoe: there are known issues aith dual head and compiz [12:14] ikonia: i just asked the question can u see it or is it being cut off by the server? [12:14] hi [12:14] jimjoe: more so around the ati driver than the nvidia one [12:14] jimjoe: I can see it now [12:14] ikonia: hrm really? (that would explain a lot) [12:14] well i got an ati card on here [12:14] hi everybody what's the best software on gnome for the wifi because I can't connect to my wifi modem [12:14] elenaw: are you trying to find what files a package puts on your system or where a file came from? [12:14] jimjoe: ati in general has isseues [12:15] it is possible to do though, people have written howtos so it must be [12:15] ikonia: im starting to see that :) [12:15] although seems a bit OTT to change my laptop [12:15] i have compiled pidgin... how can i make an icon for it in the applications menu [12:15] zero-9377: where they are located on my system [12:15] what are the known problems with it ikonia ? [12:15] hei guys, i want to change my grub boot order.. though i love ubuntu.. i have to make windows the default OS (due to mother)... [12:15] jimjoe: it is possible it certain conditions, cards, chipsets, drivers, version doesn't mean it's possible for you [12:15] jimjoe: the drivers are poor, poor support, poor in general [12:15] cUBUc: man grub [12:16] adrenergic: right click on the applications menu, select edit? [12:16] mew_ubuntu: the kernel deals with your wifi stability [12:16] iNeo : k [12:16] nope slart... i have compiled it :( [12:16] if you go into synaptic (system>admin>synaptic) find the package right click > properties > installed files [12:16] ikonia: ok, i have got compiz fusion before setting up dual monitor so i know it works with my card. It's just the dual screen that breaks it. im guessing its something im not doing correctly, but i've tried my best with all the howtos, and go no where just wondered if someone can run through it with me who has a better understanding [12:16] im fairly certain it will work [12:16] Hi there, I'm having problems installing PECL PHP modules as it looks like the /tmp directory is mounted noexec, I've tried "mount -o remount,exec /tmp" but it still shows up as noexec in mount, any ideas? [12:16] its just me not doing something right [12:16] elenaw: if you go into synaptic (system>admin>synaptic) find the package right click > properties > installed files [12:16] cUBUc: change the option "default 0" to Default 4 in /boot/grub/menu.lst [12:16] ikonia: sorry I don't understand [12:17] ikonia: what would be the best way to go about this then, because im out of ideas. [12:17] jimjoe: why are you certain ti will work ? [12:17] adrenergic: so because you compiled pidgin you're all of a sudden incapable of right-clicking the applications menu?? that just doesn't make sense [12:17] mew_ubuntu: the gui used to configure your card will have no bearing on your cards stability [12:17] my wifi problem is that I can't have an IP adress [12:17] mew_ubuntu: is your router servingDHCP [12:18] ikonia: im just pretty sure it will because i've had it working on one monitor just not dual so that shows it works in a mono screen environment, how can i test it to see if it will work with dual screen? [12:18] <_ruben> when using remote syslogging (the ubuntu box is the destination), is it a known problem/feature/whatever that there's only 1 line logged per 5 seconds? [12:18] jimjoe: one monitor does not maean it will work dual head - dual head is a different technology [12:18] I don't know but with windows xp it worked [12:18] zero-9377: I'm on kubuntu and got adept-manager, there is no right clicking like that there. Isn't there some command I can use instead? [12:18] ikonia: right ok, how can i go about finding out if it will work then? [12:18] for sure [12:18] ikonia : mind taking a peek at this site.. http://paste.plone.org/19334 .. i dunt see any Default 4.. tks [12:18] jimjoe: thereis very little "for sure" [12:19] cUBUc: change Default 0to Default 4 [12:19] hi [12:19] Hmm, i try running pidgin and it dosent, i run it as root it does, running it from terminal isent much help [12:19] how do you remount /tmp when it's set to noexec? mount -o remount,exec /tmp didn't work, mount still reports it as noexec [12:19] ikonia: lol are you trying to pursuade me to not bother [12:19] <_ruben> hmm, perhaps its an dns issue, lets see [12:19] cUBUc: sorry Default 5 [12:19] jimjoe: no,notat all, thats your call [12:20] ikonia: All I know is that some people have had success getting dual+ati+compiz working... i had a bash at it and failed, i'd like to try it, but not sure what to do. [12:20] ikonia: tks, i got it now.. :) thanks for the help... c ya guys later... system rebooting now.. [12:20] nevermind... [12:20] elenaw: you might need apt-file although i have never used it myself, its not installed so you will have to install it [12:20] how can i force a check of my ext file system on next boot? [12:21] zero-9377: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-force-fsck-on-the-next-reboot-or-boot-sequence/ try that [12:22] Slart: thanks for that [12:22] zero-9377: fyi.. I just put your exact question into google =) [12:22] ikonia: are you able to help me see if I can get this setup working, you seem to know what your talking about? [12:22] jimjoe: you could (most probably) be banging your head against the wall [12:23] ikonia: yeah, your right. I want to find out sooner rather than later though. [12:23] Slart: actually i saw that but i dont want to scan my whole system because i have ~1TB i just want to scan a single fs [12:23] jimjoe: best thing to do is mail ati with your card model, driver version, compiz version and monitor setup and ask if it's a do-able config [12:23] ikonia: rather than, it may work, it may not work. Can't you help me see if it will? if not fair enough. I've just run out of ideas, i'm pretty sure its the howtos im following because the cross-ref data from other sites, and I got confused. [12:23] jimjoe: if you prod around on the net you'll find all kinds of horror stoies [12:24] jimjoe: I had all sorts of probs with x700 and ubuntu + dual screen + compiz....I gave up on compiz eventually and ATI's drivers are a joke imo [12:24] zero-9377: ah.. hmm..don't know if that'll help you then.. I think it scans to root drive [12:24] ikonia: LOL i know. I've been turning them horror stories into real life the past 2 days. [12:24] jimjoe: if you join #ati you'll find tons of ati specialist people who may know of it's compatability limitations off the top of their head [12:24] even the opensource drivers had trouble identifying the card correctly [12:24] ikonia: I just now want to know if its possible at all (and thats why im here). [12:25] jimjoe: not really someting #ubuntu can answer, but #ati maybe better [12:25] ikonia: is it a long haul to find out if its compatable? [12:25] ok [12:25] thankyou [12:25] lol [12:25] i just found something funny ouy [12:25] yey [12:25] press alt+f2 right... run cmd... [12:25] jim-^: this is a support channel only [12:25] then type in "free the fish" without quotes [12:26] jim-^: this is a support channel only, [12:26] jim-^: Heed the warnings , please [12:26] Fuck you bub [12:26] #ubuntu-offtopic I believe [12:26] !ops | jim-^ offensive behaviour and language [12:26] jim-^ offensive behaviour and language: Help!

[12:27] Please don't run what he said [12:27] tinman, we tend to not want idiots like that in -offtopic either [12:27] mew_ubuntu: your card is not configured to talk to your router correclty (SID/Envyption) [12:27] and how to configure it ikonia? [12:27] It's a funny easter egg that makes a small fish dance around on your screen randomly. The funny part is you have to kill your panels to get rid of it. [12:27] ikonia: if I find out if my card can handle this would you be able to help me set it up? [12:28] jimjoe: the guys in #ati are probably better suited [12:28] mew_ubuntu: use the network configu gui ? [12:28] ok thank you. [12:28] i did it [12:29] jimjoe: I'll help you out with specifics, but checking compatability is probably better with regular ati users in #ati [12:29] ikonia: that's fair enough mate, I appriciate the help so far. I will bug the #ati guys. thanks a lot man. [12:29] jimjoe: no problem [12:29] how do I change the default font in abiword? :D [12:29] yay [12:30] ikonia: it looks like it is supported :) [12:30] jimjoe: really, where are you getting that ? [12:31] wers: I believe it uses the GNOME 'Document' font as the default, dunno if you can override that [12:31] wers: That'd be in System->Preferences->Appearance, Fonts tabs though [12:32] Amaranth, I don't think so. my document font is set as Sans while my defualt font in abiword is times new roman [12:33] hi, im installing ubuntu on an intel notebook , when i boot from live CD it uses intel experimental driver (and 3d effects work) but after install it says only VESA generic, and whatever i change it changes it back [12:33] note: i installed with safe-vga because of another issue during install [12:33] wers: In that case I'd say dig around a bit and hope you find something. I do basically zero document writing so I never use Abiword or OpenOffice [12:33] any solutions for this pls? [12:34] okay. thanks anyway, Amaranth :D [12:34] can anyone give me a hint how to setup an ati mobility radeon 7500 for dual head ? [12:35] i want to rebuild the xenified kernel that's in ubuntu (linux-image-2.6.22-14-xen), but i can't find any Xen options in the config (make menuconfig) [12:35] how can i find out how the kernel was built for ubuntu? [12:35] Fubarovic: pardon ? [12:35] nives1: the driver used is set in /etc/X11/xorg.conf - but you might just run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [12:36] Fubarovic: uname -a [12:36] Fubarovic: do you mean the configuration? [12:36] Hi, I try to mount a partition and since a weed all i get s mount: special device /dev/hda2 does not exist [12:36] Fubarovic: look at /boot/config-2.6.whatever [12:36] i know the config file is /boot [12:36] paladin_: ide devices are now called sda [12:36] i just need to recompile the kernel because i need powernow-k8 support [12:37] but i also want xen support [12:37] xen support is in the binary version of the kernel, but it doesn't seem to be in the source [12:37] i installed stunnel and got an issue: http://pastie.caboo.se/147244 [12:37] at least i can't find it [12:37] so i was wondering if it were possible to find out the build process the kernel maintainer uses [12:37] hello does it possible to use the "wget" to wait 5 sec between each download (when i using links from list) ? [12:37] ah thx seems to work now (hope it does not change it after next reboot) :) [12:37] !kernel [12:37] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages [12:38] hello everyone [12:38] Hello lollo === tyczek_ is now known as Tyczek [12:39] Frogzoo : there is no /dev/sd* file... beside the /dev/hda1 is mounting perfectly [12:39] paladin_: which release?

I have a d-link 520 router, and I have tried to "open" the bittorrrent port, but with no luck [12:47] Khamael: portforward.com [12:48] Khamael: you need to port forward from your router [12:48] rsk: been there, an followed the guide [12:48] ok call d-link then [12:48] and say their router dosen't work [12:49] rsk: one thing. do I have to have a static ip? or can I just define the one given to this machine? [12:50] it is probably my fault.

[13:03] crolle17: look at your errors in your syslog. 1.) it can't bind as something is already using it 2.) it's complining you've not set a "pid" in your config file [13:03] hii Dr_Willis !!!

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). [13:14] ikonia, i did a netstat and found out that there is another (local) ldap-server runnning and blocking this port. [13:15] so i kill it. [13:15] erUSUL, hmm [13:15] where can i check that [13:15] hello [13:16] Jay955, where you created the user on the ubuntu side so the xp side can connect. check permissions tab [13:16] quaal it's probably not as easy as the point and click option in windows, but far more powerful, and you only have to configure it once [13:16] Kevin`, i see [13:16] ne1 using voip [13:17] the thing is i have a pfsense firewall/router in front of everything [13:17] so i dont really need a firewall on the individual pc's [13:17] wonder if i could disable somehow [13:17] quaal NAT is managed in the firewall rules, that's why it involved here [13:17] firestarter wasnt even installed [13:17] does that mean a firewall wasnt even in place [13:17] firestarter is a gui to the firewalling features [13:17] quaal: You don't have to have it act as a firewall...just need it [13:18] quaal, no it doesnt [13:18] blah nm Kevin said that hehe [13:18] ah thats what i thought [13:18] i checked the user setting iand i don't see permission tab [13:18] quaal I don't think there are any default firewall rules in ubuntu. rememer though that the firewall is part of the kernel, these apps just manage it [13:18] Kevin`, yea [13:18] there is no default firewall rules set up by default. :) [13:19] ah theres an option right in the firestarter setup.. enable internet connection sharing [13:19] Kevin: Yeah by default it just allows all traffic no rules [13:19] cool [13:19] sudo iptables --list (i think) shows any rules. [13:19] Jay955, Im not on ubuntu right now so I dont remember but I am assuming you created a user under Sysatem > Admin> Users and Groups? [13:19] I always use iptables-save [13:19] (and also edit rules that way) [13:19] yes i have [13:20] where can i find gdm error log? [13:20] actually hmm [13:20] i should just get a hub and set it onthe desk here [13:20] i'm just getting really sick of wireless [13:20] Jay955, ok go to the user and look in the options. you should be able to modify the users permissions [13:20] quaal: Why whats wrong with your wirelesS? [13:20] ok brb [13:20] hi,i'm a newer for ubuntu [13:21] right chaps, got a question about compiz across 2 monitors... accelleration is working fine. i'm getting about 6000 fps on glxgears, which is as expected - but when the screensaver kicks in, it maxes both my processors, and the screensaver itself runs veeery slowly on each monitor. 7.10 / 64 bit.... any ideas? [13:21] 6000 fps !!! [13:21] damn son [13:21] where can i find gdm error log? [13:22] quaal - well,it did 6000 fps before compiz - now it does about 5800... but that performace hit is expected... [13:22] Bonjour =) [13:22] danielski_pl, do you mean /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [13:23] have a nice day folks [13:23] u2 [13:23] ikonia, i got the stunnel running. for real: there was a process running on binded on port 389. for simulating traffic over stunnel: ldapsearch -LLL -x -D "cn=ldapsearch,cn=Users,dc=xxx,dc=com" -w ldapsearch "sAMAccountName=krutha" dn ? [13:23] SleepingSloth: i dont know but everytime i open a game that requires full screen it restarts gnome back to login, i dont know why [13:23] i have account, user privilage,and advance i see nothing about permission [13:23] i'm new to all this [13:24] danielski - have you more than one monitor? [13:24] SleepingSloth: no just one [13:24] Dr_Willis where are u from? here it's 2.30pm :D [13:24] its 8 am here - in Indiana [13:24] is Java-Gnome 4.0 available in Gutsy/Hardy? I see a folder for it in pool but nothing is there. The existing packages appear to be java-gnome 2.x, which has been deprecated. [13:25] here Italy :D:D [13:26] my pen drive is not mounted when i plug it in. This has happened for the first time. is there a terminal command i can run to force ubuntu to mount it? [13:26] danielski_pl, i'm no expert i'm afraid. the log i mentioned won't help i don't think... as you are getting into X okay. [13:26] all - ne1 using voip? [13:27] geno: Anyone use voip is kinda a broad area...a certain app or something that uses voip? [13:27] have a look at it anyways http://pastebin.com/ddf0c9fa , but at the end of the log it says it could not initiate cyrillic (font) [13:28] wonder if team speak works with ubuntu - ido not type [13:28] yeah [13:28] works fine [13:28] ok ty [13:28] Theres a naitive Teamspeak client [13:28] Team Speak has worked for me with ubuntu. [13:28] naitive linux client I mean heh [13:28] Ventrilo works to through wine [13:28] where ? [13:29] www.goteamspeak.com [13:29] !find teamspeak [13:29] Found: teamspeak-client, teamspeak-server [13:29] ty [13:29] its in the repos. :) [13:29] ty [13:29] ahh heh...so I like to be energetic and go after it at the site lol [13:30] Ventrilo was a pain in the ass with my usb headset heh [13:30] has Ventrilo made a linux client yet [13:31] nah [13:31] have to run it in wine [13:31] their Linux client has been "under development" for YEARS and years [13:31] (Ventrilo) [13:31] [Gnome] System > Quit... opens a dialog or submenu with 8 menu items. What is the English name of this submenu? [13:31] I don't think wine actually lets me use SFR either...cause I can't get Vanguard to run worth a crap FPS wise [13:33] bullgard4: I'm not sure it has a name; I'd call it the quit method dialog [13:34] allquixotic: Why do you use the word 'mehod' in it? [13:34] method [13:34] hey folks, I've got a problem with a NIC in a 7.10 server I've just built [13:34] I see the module for the driver loaded, and ifconfig shows the device, but it will not aquire an address [13:34] mii-diag says it gets a physicial link [13:34] ugh, just had to change something on a fedora server, yuck yuck yuck, I had forgotten how horrid and out of date their config files are, especially for apache [13:35] bullgard4: because it lists quit methods :( [13:35] * JediMaster hugs Ubuntu [13:35] can anyone help me to configure dual head for ati radeon 7500 mobility? Can't get it working [13:36] allquixotic: Google does not find 'quit method dialog'. [13:36] bullgard4: the dialog makes you choose a method, a "way" to get out.. out of the choices. a plain "Quit Dialog" would just be, like, "Do you want to quit? Y/N" [13:36] bullgard4: Why are you googling it? [13:36] bullgard4: What do you want to know about it? [13:37] bullgard4: Perhaps you should ask on gnome's irc server & channel. [13:37] what's the OT channel? [13:37] JediMaster: #ubuntu-offtopic or #defocus [13:37] Pici: it's an ubuntu-specific dialog isn't it? [13:37] Pici: ta [13:37] allquixotic: I dont know. [13:37] allquixotic: I need to repair it. Two menu items are missing since this morning: 'Restart' and 'Switch Off'. [13:38] has anyone ever installed the Fuse kernel module in 6.06, are there any warnings before starting [13:39] Pici: Do you mean by 'channel' '#gnome'? What do you mean by 'gnome's irc server '? [13:40] bullgard4: Gnome's official channel is on irc.gnome.org see http://live.gnome.org/GnomeIrcChannels [13:40] so i checked out the kernel page on the ubuntu wiki, but i still can't figure this thing out [13:40] Fubarovic: what do you want to know [13:40] how do i recompile a xen-enabled ubuntu kernel? [13:41] i need some specific modules added in there [13:42] yeah, that's a toughie, isn't it :P [13:42] Fubarovic: why do you want to ? [13:42] how many GB's do I need for my root (/) partition? [13:43] is 20GB enough? [13:43] way too much [13:44] ikonia, i have very recent hardware that i want xen to run on [13:44] stjepang, thats quite a bit of space [13:44] stjepang, "depends" [13:44] speaking generally, how much do you recommend? [13:44] the latest ubuntu xen-kernel supports all of my hardware, but it doesn't do cpuscaling [13:44] Fubarovic: so you don't want to recompile the xen kernel you want to update it to a later version of the kernel ? [13:44] so that's what i want to compile in [13:44] stjepang, "depends" [13:44] no [13:44] i already have the latest [13:44] PriceChild: on what? :) [13:45] Fubarovic: why not just load the module [13:45] stjepang, i keep my / small and create partitions for all the rest [13:45] stjepang, if you are going to serve gigabyte files from /var/www for example then maybe you want a little more. [13:45] Fubarovic: rather than compile it in [13:45] because the module isn't there [13:45] i need to compile it first [13:45] Fubarovic: what directories are "the rest"? [13:45] /home, /opt, /tmp, /usr, /var [13:45] stjepang, unless you're using a seperate partition for /var.... in which case that's further proof we've no idea what you're doing, and what is best. [13:45] PriceChild: no, I'm just a normal desktop user... oh yes, and I would put my /home on a separate partition [13:46] then 20GB is probably too much [13:46] Pici: I will give irc.gnome.org a try. Thank you for advising. (By the way, the ##gnome channel in the Freenode network is very quiet.) [13:46] if you can spare it, sure why not [13:46] cool, thanks [13:47] <|zeal|> hi,guys [13:47] <|zeal|> morning [13:47] mornin [13:48] ikonia, i thought i'd get the kernel source of my xenified kernel, but apparently the source doesn't have the xen patches applied [13:48] ikonia: hi, i just changed the default as u had mentioned to 5. but now the default just sits at "Other Operating System" string and it gets booted into neither windows or ubuntu... [13:48] now i'd like to find out how to apply those xen patches [13:49] cUBUc: who me the menu.lst again [13:50] ikonia: /boot/grub/ === osxdude|overhere is now known as osxdude [13:50] ikonia: yeah man, i had changed it to 5.. http://paste.plone.org/19334 ,,,, u called me to change line 14 to 5 .... but there is no default login to windows... :( [13:50] cosmodad: what ? [13:51] ikonia: sorry thought you were asking for the location of menu.lst, but your grammer was difficult to interpret. [13:51] cUBUc: should have been 6 - my apologies [13:51] cosmodad: I mad a typo - "show me" it should have been [13:51] ikonia: ah ok [13:52] ikonia: hi sorry, just wanted to clear my doubts.. how did u arrive at 6... [13:52] cUBUc: cound them 0 is the first boot option 1 the second etc etc yours is the 5th but becuase you have the line "other OS" which counts as one, its 6 [13:52] hi, if you run the livecd and then modify it without installing, like installing software and stuff, can you then successfully remaster it, still from the livecd, keeping the changes that you have made? [13:53] ? [13:54] ikonia ; oh sumtin like the array indexing... oh thanks,man... well get to it [13:54] Hey guys, need your help. I'm using bitchx cause i messed up my xorg file, just wanted to ask what the command is to restore the xorg file to its original state. [13:55] heya... i've got ubuntu 7.10 running in a machine with an onboard Intel based video card, and also a nvidia 7300 AGP card - any tips how i can get ubuntu to see the AGP? currently it only detects the onboard (PCI) card [13:55] cUBUc: my mistake earlier, I miss counted [13:55] jack_spratt: i dont think so, I think its all in ram, so it goes away when you turn off the computer [13:55] ikonia, i got it running. thanks [13:55] Trackilizer, try Xorg -configure to make a new configuration? [13:55] crolle17: no problem [13:55] Trackilizer: just change the filenames around so the .old file is named .conf [13:55] !fixres | Trackilizer [13:55] Trackilizer: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[14:06] pike_: okay, i hope youre right [14:06] does dnsmasq use the same DHCP server as dhcpd? [14:06] anyone know where the cronjobs are hidden? I guess it has something to do with my 'sudo -s' [14:06] cas: /etc/crontab maybe? [14:06] cas: if we told you they wouldnt be hidden now would they [14:07] cas: sudo crontab -e or crontab -e [14:07] PriceChild: no, pclos, but im asking here because afaik its a cross distro problem. what do you know? i cant get video on my inspiron 1100 working on any newish livecd [14:07] cas: you should be able to see em with or without root i believe [14:07] jack_spratt, its very much a per distro problem.

[14:12] PriceChild: I tried, but my crontab is empty now [14:12] Leechzilla, we don't know. ask other distributions about it [14:12] jrib, okay this looks awesome... so exec will run the mv command from whatever directory find is currently in... is that right?

[14:27] Tux_help: sure [14:27] Hi there, at the installation from a live CD on a iBook G3 Clamshell I get "The specified Ubuntu archive mirror is either not available, or does not have a valid Release file on it. Please try a different mirror." until the set up of the base system. To fix it I tried to change the /etc/apt/sources.list and commented the cdrom drive out and do a apt-get update. But it still accesses the CD... [14:28] ...Rom and gives me the same error. Did I change the wrong config file ???, Jack_Sparrow [14:28] ist hier einer , der deutsch oder french kann [14:28] msisside, /join #ubuntu-de oder /join #ubuntu-fr [14:29] hever_: did you have errors during apt-get update? can you pastebin your sources.list? [14:29] Ok, I am trying to install Ubuntu on an older gateway machine. I've downloaded the cd, copied it correctly (at least I followed *exactly* the instructions for 4 different software programs, so am convinced I have a good iso), but when I click install the installer starts but then indicates that there is no disk in the drive. [14:29] pike_: no errors with update.... [14:29] I have a dsl modem connected to a router, the dsl login is handeled through the router or through pppoe service on my computer? [14:29] I've tried using all-generic-ide, Linux no=nodma, noapic, etc. [14:29] But with no luck. [14:30] I am wondering if this might be a problem with having a DVD writer in the machine. [14:30] oh my god, i cant figure this out [14:30] i downloaded the original linux-2.6.22 source tarfile [14:30] Tux_hel have you tried the alternative installer? [14:31] and the diff file that ubuntu supposedly uses [14:31] I have and the mini installer, but all the same problem. [14:31] Tux_help: also you might want to boot up the livecd do lspci and copy thoose lines to a pastebin [14:31] but i can't apply the patch, because it seems to be reversed [14:31] Um, I'm not sure what that means. Sorry. [14:31] pike_: http://pastebin.com/ded14ee9 [14:32] pike_: The installer will use the settings made in the standard /etc/apt/sources.list ? [14:33] how to create a symbolic link to another folder i tried "sudo ln -s test /usr/share/rails" [14:33] hever_: oh wait youre still at install stage? [14:33] crolle17: same syntax as cp [14:33] Yes, I can't get the install to work. [14:33] pike_: yes I am. [14:33] pike_, syntax for cp is cp source_folder/source_file destination_folder [14:34] hever_: im not familiar enough with the installer id assume it uses the apt-get repos and not some hard coded stuff but youd be better off asking someone else [14:34] right chaps, got a question about compiz across 2 monitors... accelleration is working fine. i'm getting about 6000 fps on glxgears, which is as expected - but when the screensaver kicks in, it maxes both my processors, and the screensaver itself runs veeery slowly on each monitor. 7.10 / 64 bit.... any ideas? [14:34] pike_: On a live CD, all works until its going to set up the new installed system. [14:34] rsk: I'm not sure what that means. [14:34] crolle17: try full paths [14:35] pike_, and when i want ot create an s-link in the /tmp- folder? ln -s /tmp/test /usr/share/rails ? [14:35] How can I change the mirrors the ubuntu installer uses, or uses it /etc/apt/sources.list ? [14:35] hever_, sytem > admin > software sources, lets you choose the best mirror [14:35] creates a link called test in the folder /tmp linking to /usr/share/rails? [14:35] Laptop doesn't even seem to realize it has a wireless connection, iwconfig returns "no wireless extensions" on everything: Ideas? [14:35] PriceChild: Also at installation stage ? [14:36] hever_, do it after [14:36] hever_, ubuntu's instillation is designed to give you as little questions as possible [14:36] PriceChild: I can't finish the installation.... [14:36] rsk: is the live cd something that I can download? [14:36] Hi there, at the installation from a live CD on a iBook G3 Clamshell I get "The specified Ubuntu archive mirror is either not available, or does not have a valid Release file on it. Please try a different mirror." until the set up of the base system. To fix it I tried to change the /etc/apt/sources.list and commented the cdrom drive out and do a apt-get update. But it still accesses the CD... [14:36] ...Rom and gives me the same error. Did I change the wrong config file ???, PriceChild [14:37] PriceChild: The problem is I cant choose another one... I changed the normal apt mirrors but this doesn't affect the installtion... [14:37] hever_, it won't [14:37] pike_, no. sudo ln -s /home/crolle/test /usr/share/rails doesn't create a link called test in /home/crolle/test. [14:37] ther e must be something missing [14:37] there [14:38] PriceChild: And how can I change the mirror of the installation? I must it change to finish the installtion... [14:38] Laptop doesn't even seem to realize it has a wireless connection, iwconfig returns "no wireless extensions" on everything. Anyone? [14:39] ln -s /usr/share/rails /home/crolle/test [14:39] crolle17: ^ [14:40] hever_, you shouldn't have to [14:41] pike_, lol i mixed it up... thanks [14:42] anyone got any idea why my screensaver mjght be smashing my cpu? [14:42] PriceChild: Did you read the error message? What can I do know? Yesterday I canceled the installation but it was not finished right up and not usable. And the error message tells me "Please try another mirror"... [14:42] hello, how can i recorde in ubuntu,? [14:43] rsfriends: record what? [14:43] my desktop [14:43] seen people do that [14:43] test [14:43] rsfriends: try xvidcap [14:43] ok thx [14:43] !screencast | rsfriends [14:43] hever_, I don't believe you need any network connectivity to install ubuntu. [14:43] rsfriends: Some programs to capture your screen are Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [14:43] PriceChild: you do [14:44] you don't [14:44] i just had troubles with my internet not working during the install of ubuntu, it hung at around 82% when connecting to mirrors [14:44] ok;) thx m8 [14:44] citm, you don't [14:44] citm, well then you have your network set up wierd [14:44] PriceChild: that list should include recordmydesktop rather than demorecorder [14:44] IMO [14:44] just unplug the cables etc. [14:44] popey, one min [14:44] demorecorder == commercial, recordmydesktop = in repo [14:44] * feni23 is searsching the cellar 0.ô [14:45] * feni23 is searching the cellar 0.ô -.- [14:45] (It's put it at the start of the list too - it's really very good) [14:45] hi there [14:45] !screencast | popey [14:45] popey: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [14:45] my "audio" group was deleted by mistake...how to add it again..anyone help [14:45] yay, ta PriceChild [14:46] How do I figure out why Ubuntu won't realize the laptop has wireless? Any suggestions? [14:46] PriceChild: I agree with you, but something semms wrong at the moment, so I'm going to change the mirror to internet... And I'm sure there is a way doing it... [14:46] I've got a package conflict. I can't install a newer kernel because it has removed support for my hardware, but now it won't stop trying to install "lvm2". Is there some way to remove that package from the install / required install queue? [14:46] popey, in future, "/msg ubotu factoid is foo" and we'll get it in -ops. [14:47] ok, thanks [14:47] my "audio" group was deleted by mistake...how to add it again..anyone help === {uX}l`VampyrCeil is now known as ceil420 [14:49] groupadd audio [14:49] might be good to use the previous gid [14:49] Gowmsy: you actually deleted the audio group or just removed yourself from it? [14:50] deleted the group [14:50] yeah, check man groupadd for details [14:50] hey [14:50] I would like to ask an installation question, please. [14:51] ok [14:51] I am trying to install Ubuntu on an older gateway machine. I've downloaded the cd, copied it correctly (at least I followed *exactly* the instructions for 4 different software programs, so am convinced I have a good iso), but when I click install the installer starts but then indicates that there is no disk in the drive. [14:51] Tux_help: it seems like the CD drive on that computer might be somehow broken [14:52] Tux_help: some older bioses support CDs in a non-standard way. The old-fashioned cure was to have a couple of floppies with special drivers. Maybe there's a special CD? Or yeah, the drive is broken. [14:52] It's the third computer I've tried, and they are all doing that - although they are all identical machines. [14:52] Pici: In order to join irc.gnome.org I need to instruct my Irssi with the proper network. The grammar is '/network add '. What have I to substitute for ? [14:52] hmm, nevermind me then, I be wrong :P [14:52] network add -host irc.gnome.org gnome [14:53] ksehx: to use groupadd for audio..i dont remember the previous gid...can i give any no. for that? === benzs_s is now known as benzss [14:53] would be "gnome" or something else identifying the network itself [14:53] I'm not sure what I might need to do to have floppies for special drivers with Ubuntu. [14:54] Gowmsy: you probably can, but you'd have to go back and set permissions manually, better to use old gid. (probably is group-owner of some audio devices) [14:54] Fedora works fine in these machines, but I am teaching a (very) basic class on Linux and would like to give everyone a look at Ubuntu. [14:54] So if I can't get it to view the drive, am I just out of luck installing Ubuntu? [14:54] Tux_help: I'd look on the ubuntu box I have here, but it appears to be locked while upgrading the kernel. And it's a production server. :-( [14:55] * k5ehx cries [14:55] I'm sorry [14:55] I've an installations problem too.Here's go the problem: I've installed ubuntu 7.10 it works and all now i try to install windows xp to make dual boot, when i insert cd and press any key to boot it writes system is expecting your hardware and then nothing happens if anyone has a clue what is problems ? [14:55] thankfully it's still up. :-) [14:56] hi all [14:56] Nsf: did you create a partition for your XP install? Usually I install windows first, then linux to overwrite the windows boot loader. [14:56] is there terminal server for linux via web [14:56] I read about xdmcp but it need xserver [14:56] if I have a dns server running on a computer on a network, to connect to that server from another computer on the network, the dns server would simply be the ip of the computer running the dns server, correct? [14:56] ltsp need pxe [14:56] Nsf: that doesnt sound like a problem with ubuntu.. xp does expect to be on a primary partitino and usually the first space on hd i think but may be a bad cd or cdrom [14:56] Nope [14:56] Ok, well, thanks for all your help. I guess I'll have to use a different distro. [14:56] i've first installed linux [14:57] Good luck with your server. [14:57] and then i tried xp [14:57] Cd is not bad cuz i used it before :/ [14:57] if "lshw -C network" doesn't show any Wireless NIC, does that mean the computer 100% surely lacks one or just that the OS hasn't picked up on its existance? [14:57] Nsf: I don't really know enough about the XP install process. [14:58] problem is that i can even to start install xp [14:58] and i really need it [14:58] !windows | nsf [14:58] nsf: For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubotu equivalents [14:59] ty [15:00] Nsf: I would up installing it in virtualbox [15:01] hi all [15:01] I've got dnsmasq and ipmasq running on my computer. I am not using DHCP with dnsmasq, only DNS. I am listening for incoming connections from eth0, but they never seem to come. I can't resolve anything from the computer connected to the DNS server. [15:01] I need it on disk :( [15:01] !sudo [15:01] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [15:01] burkmat: try ifconfig -a - but the OS doesn't know about devices for which there's no usable driver [15:02] What do I have to do to get support for fancy characters, like the double borders and the filled square, in the regular console? I tried switching to a VGA font, but that doesn't seem to be enough. I'm looking at these bash prompt examples and I can't get the characters to look right. Any ideas? [15:03] It look likes i have to go to the local computer master :S [15:03] smallGnome: "regular" console? gnome-terminal supports unicode, not sure about the vtys [15:03] Frogzoo: yeah, tried that, but ifconfig -a just tells me about "sit0", which I have no idea what it is, and nothing resembling a wireless connection. iwconfig doesn't just says everything lacks a wireless extension, and I'm actually beginning to doubt there's a wireless nic in this computer :P [15:04] sit0 being the only one I don't already know what it is. [15:04] any swedish people around here [15:04] !se | rimad [15:04] rimad: Svensk Ubuntu- och Kubuntusupport hittar du pa #ubuntu-se resp. #kubuntu-se [15:04] burkmat: is it a centrino? also check dmesg for devices without working drivers [15:04] Frogzoo: I don't have X on this machine. And I don't want it. I just want to enable the fancy characters. If I type "echo -e "\333"" now, I get some weird character, and not the one from the bash prompt examples [15:05] How can I change the mirrors the ubuntu installer uses? I read in a forum its possible but they doesn't describe how... [15:05] (during installation) [15:05] # [15:06] smallGnome: in the old world that was called selecting the codepage. Not sure if that helps you any. :-) [15:06] help..i just ran Synaptic for the first time in days. Now I can't authenticate anything. getting the 'warning/malicious' message no matter what I download. WTF. [15:06] hey, I'm having problem finding drivers for ati radeon 3870 using ubuntu amd64, any ideas if they exist yet? [15:07] i should also note that this also happened when trying to load packages from the CD... [15:07] Frogzoo: Not very skilled with Linux, and not quite sure how I'd use dmesg to do that. :) It's a Compaq nc8000. [15:08] k5ehx: gave me something new to google for, at least. thanks :) [15:09] nobody seems to know how to do this anymore. it's just x, x, x all the time. that and xxx without spaces :/ [15:09] * smallGnome goes back to arpanet [15:10] wow, this place seems quiet today [15:10] a question! do you use linux : ) [15:10] yes [15:10] ;) [15:10] ... [15:10] Maybe everyone... knows what to do now? [15:10] does anyone know if open arena is multiplayer? [15:11] hell yeah it is [15:11] OpenArena, as Quake did, focuses on multiplayer LAN and Internet deathmatches. [15:11] openarena is good fun [15:11] deathmatch!!!! [15:11] so if I add the application for it [15:11] o_O [15:11] it will be multiplayer? [15:11] sweet [15:11] what is this open arena you speak of? === xchetan is now known as xppu [15:11] its a game similar to quake [15:11] bod_: something I'm hearing about way too late [15:11] Hi all. I have a problem with two ubuntu 7.10 installs. 1st, my laptop has been running 7.10 since it came out without any problems. Last week, I installed 7.10 on a IBM X3500. Since then, Whenever my laptop is "on" the network, no one can connect cleanly with the X3500. I've been turning services off on my laptop to try and see what/where the conflict is, but I can't find anything wrong. Anyone have any ideas?? [15:11] q3 got gpl'ed [15:11] i wonder if a dating firm named deathmatch would sell well... [15:11] out of that openarena came [15:12] freeware? [15:12] who have some advice for fresh bird Like me! [15:12] yes! [15:12] get it!! [15:12] ubuntunut, im always the last to no things [15:12] Fubarovic, is it in repo's? [15:12] I just fount out when looking for applications :) [15:12] found [15:12] i dunno, i don't use ubuntu :P [15:12] Hey Ubuntu people. I think I'm having some problems with the embedded ivtv drivers. Sometimes, the screen goes colorless. Is there any way to "reset" these drivers so I can watch tv properly again? [15:12] it's on debian, so probably yes [15:12] then why are you here :P [15:12] louish: What do you mean people can't connect cleanly to it? [15:13] louish: What protocol are you using to try to connect? [15:13] ubuntunut: when people ping it, the packet loss is over 40%, and when they ssh to it, it is slow. [15:13] louish: if your laptop disrupts the functions of another machine, the problem is either in your network or on the other machine. fix the security hole, don't avoid it [15:13] should i get the openarena-server ?? [15:13] Still looking for a way to find out if my computer A. Has a Wireless NIC, B. Just refuses to acknowledge its existance, C. Will be forced to run XP. [15:14] Tobias92: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf change the video driver to 'vesa' [15:14] bod_: You wouldn't want to run the server, no would you? [15:14] now* [15:14] ubuntunut, why? I think my nvidia drivers are working properly because initially, it does show colors [15:14] louish, what kinda ping times do you get if you ping your router? [15:14] ubuntunut: I've also booted with the 7.10 live cd (I thought it might be a bad nic in the laptop... [15:14] Tobias92: I appologize. I thought the ivtv drivers were video drivers. [15:15] Tobias92: I don't have any personal experience with ivtv, so I can't really help you that much [15:15] bod_: I get 0.791ms or 0.673 etc [15:15] ubuntunut, okay, thanks anyway :) [15:15] ubuntunut, im thinkin of it like CS:S where you can run a public server? i prob dont want to complicate something ive only just heard about i suppose ,.,.lol [15:15] louish, packet loss? [15:15] louish: And..? Were you able to ping on the live cd? [15:15] hey, I'm having problem finding drivers for ati radeon 3870 using ubuntu amd64, any ideas if they exist yet? [15:16] hever_: Administration > Software Sources >Ubuntu Software : Download from: [15:16] bod_: zero packet loss to everything else on the network. It's just the new 7.10 install that we can't connect too [15:16] bod_: Hehe, understandable. I would assume the server would let you run a public server... although if it's anything like q3:arena, you can ust host a server with the client if you were thinking of a lan game [15:16] ubuntunut: Yes, with the Live CD. There are no problems at all. [15:16] mahmoud_: Yes but I'm at installation stage... [15:16] ubuntunut, like hamachi,.,. ot,. yer, its downloading,.,.;) [15:16] louish, cant connect to at all? [15:17] Still looking for a way to find out if my computer A. Has a Wireless NIC, B. Just refuses to acknowledge its existance, C. Will be forced to run XP. [15:17] hever_: why do you want to do it at installation? [15:17] Trying to get wireless with madwifi. I have a seemingly useless device - wifi0 -that may be interfering. How to get rid of it? [15:17] bod_: when I boot from the hdd, I can connect, but when I ping there is like 60+ % packet loss [15:17] louish: That's very odd. what do you use the computer getting packet loss for? [15:17] burkmat: buy a good wireless card? [15:17] mahmoud_: At the installation from a live CD on a iBook G3 Clamshell I get "The specified Ubuntu archive mirror is either not available, or does not have a valid Release file on it. Please try a different mirror." until the set up of the base system. To fix it I tried to change the /etc/apt/sources.list and commented the cdrom drive out and do a apt-get update. But it still accesses the CD... [15:17] ...Rom and gives me the same error. Did I change the wrong config file ???, [15:18] louish, ping ....... ping to where? what happens if you ping www.google.com? [15:18] burkmat: do a 'lspci' to list your pci devices. [15:18] ubuntunut: It's my primary w/s. I connect to TS services etc. I did have ntop running, and nfs and smb, but I turned them all off [15:18] hever_ : the way I told you would change the sources.list file itself ... [15:18] hever_: is that Ubuntu 7.10 ? [15:19] anyone got any idea why my screensaver mjght be thrashing my cpu? [15:19] bod_: Every ping to any "other" place works perfect. It's just fails when I ping the new 7.10 x3500 server [15:19] I installed ubuntu and chose 15gb for the partition, but now my partition in windows only has 15gb so im guessing i chose that wrong [15:19] because it's opengl,SleepingSloth ? [15:19] louish: After you'd installed a fresh system (7.10), did you experience packet loss before adding those services? [15:19] xz. d [15:19] mahmoud_, why is he editing sources.list before installing it? [15:19] how do i give some of the partition back to my windows partition? [15:19] hi [15:19] ubuntunut: no [15:19] Fubarovic, heh - no, idont think so.... [15:19] louish: So it must be something you'd installed post kernel, right? [15:20] louish, so theres a problem with some esettings somewhere,.,. are you using encryption? [15:20] bod_ : I am not sure.. I guess something is updating/installing a package .. hever_ : ? [15:20] ubuntunut: no problems at all. Just when this new 7.10 server was installed. And there are three others here that use 7.10 as well. [15:20] Fubarovic, admittedly its a 3360x1050 display across 2 screens, but i'm running a 6800gt, and i'm getting about 9fps on moebius screensaver... [15:20] ubuntunut, yeah... that tells me that I have no wireless. but so does iwconfig, ifconfig -a, and lshw. starting to doubt there's one in here. [15:20] bod_: no encryption [15:20] hi, can anyone help me configuring my ati radeon 7500 mobile for 2 screens? [15:20] Fubarovic, which is ridiculous, obviously [15:21] !ati [15:21] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [15:21] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [15:21] got those? [15:21] maybe someone nicked it... guess i'll have to get XP to see if it works in there. [15:21] it does not help :-( [15:21] burkmat: Sounds like a hardware problem of some kinda.... is it possible to try the card in a different pci slot? [15:21] damn, worked great for my nvidia card [15:21] louish, using the "slow" 7.10 machine, how fast is browsing the web? [15:21] burkmat: OR the card in another system? [15:21] mahmoud_, wierd [15:21] bod_: very fast === encKe is now known as cosm0z [15:22] louish, how many different machines have u got? [15:22] How can i change the size of the partition i installed linux on and give some of it back to my VistaOS partition? [15:22] citm: 'gparted' [15:22] in terminal? Cheers [15:22] !gaprted | citm [15:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about gaprted - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [15:22] !gparted | citm [15:22] bod_: it looks to me, that the new x3500 and my laptop have some sort of conflict. I have two Mac's. 4 linux servers and 3 windows servers, and 20 w/s. [15:22] citm: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [15:22] !gparted [15:23] Thanks :D [15:23] citm: in terminal, cfdisk or fdisk. if you want a gui, use gparted. [15:23] ubuntunut, I fixed it... and I won't tell you how because it's so pathetic. anyway, thanks for the help :D o/ [15:23] Cheers guys, you're so great [15:23] How does one get a scanner working in Ubuntu? I've got an Epson CX4900, and it's being recognised only as a printer (it is a printer+scanner) [15:23] louish, oh,.,. lol,.,. id say the problem is not with the "slow" 7.10 machine, merely with whichever one your pinging it with, or its your network,. but im not sure of a fix,. sorry,.,. all comps dhcp?

I already tried to change /etc/apt.sources.list but now I alos tried your suggestion. one moment, let me see the result... [15:24] citm, yep :) only got issues about usb 2 [15:24] RantingHuman: a google search like site:ubuntuforums.org printermodel <-- may help [15:24] !sane [15:24] Scanning software: XSane, the GIMP (GNOME), Kooka (KDE). For instructions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo and to see supported hardware: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScanners - See also !OCR [15:25] bod_: yes, they are all dhcp, except the servers. I'm sure the network is fine, since I've booted my laptop with the live cd, Everything is fine with connecting and pinging the x3500 7.10 server now. [15:25] 8 mins till i have open arena !! [15:25] louish, weird,.,. ok,. [15:25] pike_, did that, only got forum posts about usb 2 issues where the whole device isn't recognised [15:25] mahmoud_: it still not working. I think /etc/apt/sources.list settings doesn't affect the installer... [15:25] bod_: It's only when I boot from my laptops hdd that no one can connect to the x3500. [15:25] hi! the gamma-correction of nvidia-settings get reset after I use synaptic or the screensaver got used. I have to call nvidia-settings to get the gamma settings correct again. waht to do? [15:25] mahmoud_: and somebody told me already it won't affect it.... [15:26] louish, im not sure then m8,.,.sorry [15:26] My CDROM does not mount automatically when a new disc is inserted .. I usually have to umount/mount to work .. but it automounts at reboot. Any solution? [15:26] RantingHuman: oh well thats not too helpful :) [15:26] louish: is reinstall out of the question? [15:26] bod_: Yes, very weird. I'm guessing I'll just have to re-install 7.10 on my laptop. [15:26] louish: Also, does 'top' say anything odd when run on the laptop? [15:26] louish, drastic,.,. [15:26] ubuntunut: No. I'll just have to find a place to backup all my stuff. [15:27] hever_ : AFAIK the installer does not download packages .. I am not sure why it reports an error about the mirrors .. may be language packages? [15:27] ubuntunut: No, top just show's the normal stuff. That's why I'm scratching my head here.... At home I have no issues at all. It's only when I'm at work. [15:27] can someone explain to me how a package on the Canonical CD could be flagged with a warning upon install? [15:27] I've installed mono1.2.6 with bitrock installer and mono -V is still reporting 1.2.4 [15:27] i now get two drop-downs in the "Summary" pop-up under Synaptic. "NOT AUTHENTICATED" and "To be installed." Both drop down lists contain the same packages. I don't get it. [15:27] mahmoud_: Yes we're thinking the same way ;) But that means I must stop install and restart int again... ok I'll try it. [15:27] mahmoud_: Is your internet connection still up? [15:28] network is slow [15:28] louish: That really sounds liek a problem with the network of some sort. are you the admin there? [15:28] usr13_ : mine, yes [15:28] ubuntunut: Yes, [15:28] wyclif: That means that when you did you 'update' it couldnt connect to the repository servers. I suggest trying to update again. [15:28] ubuntunut: --- 10.1.1.1 ping statistics --- [15:28] 412 packets transmitted, 412 packets received, 0% packet loss [15:28] round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.518/0.779/4.996/0.394 ms [15:28] louish: better question: have you set flow control and all that nifty stuff with ethtool ? [15:28] wyclif: via commandline: apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade [15:28] ubuntunut: no I have not [15:29] mahmoud_: But I'm not happy about the installation. On debian i got never such errors, and changing the installation mirror makes no problems during installation under debian [15:29] louish: Do you have custom settings at work that are different than at home? That can really throw you off. I know it messed up my connection to the uni here. [15:29] how to power off an ubuntu box remotely? [15:29] louish: Custom settings in duplex mode and such [15:29] from cmd line? [15:29] shutdown -p now ? [15:30] jsoft: 'man shutdown' [15:30] ubuntunut: No, On my laptop, Everything has been used from defaults [15:30] jsoft: halt [15:30] Is there another installation tool than the install link on the desktop ??? [15:30] usr13: why? [15:30] usr13_ : my net is working, why ? [15:30] how can I check whats going on with my pc to see why its "restarting" now and then? [15:30] louish: I meant at your work place. Your network isn't set up with some kind of wonky settings, right? [15:30] http://wiresmash.com/funny/really-cute-dancing-parrot/ so cute [15:30] hehehe [15:30] ubuntunut: nothing special at all. [15:31] mahmoud_: I thought you said that you were unable to install packages. [15:31] Is there an expert installation tool on the live CD ? [15:31] ubuntunut: Correct. Very simple setup. [15:31] sky_: you might check the temp if it gets too high often the bios is set to restart. maybe a memtest too i suppose or power issue [15:31] louish: Hmm. Do you use similar hardware there than you do at home? Maybe a higher/lower speed settings? Or maybe at home your network hardware can handle full duplex while at work only half? [15:32] pike_: didn't happen before I reinstalled ubuntu... === bingodeville is now known as bingodeville2 [15:33] ubuntunut: I have GB at home and work, Same brand of Switches, but they are different models. [15:33] jrib: I just sent you the python alsa-info module... [15:33] question: How do you specifically set a default bittorrent client? [15:33] sky_: might check /var/log/syslog [15:33] beernutz: right click .torrent file, select client? [15:33] Can somone here help me upgrade my bios on my asus motherboard? [15:33] lol anto [15:33] sure, just give me ssh access to it [15:33] How can I abort a running installation ? [15:33] Fubarovic, whats so funnie? [15:34] sky_: sure, that will LAUNCH it, but does it set it as the default client? [15:34] read the manual of your mainboard, anto [15:34] louish: Check the models. make sure they use all of the same settings. The littlest thing can mess you up. I wouldn't assume it was a problemw ith your laptop since you said it runs perfectly fine at home. [15:34] GUI frontend for partitioning shows my 160G disk, but then doing something at all, makes it crash, fdisk /dev/hda gives "unable to open /dev/hda" /me clueless now, wants to finally have his new machine installed [15:34] oh btw, pike, whats a chron anyway? [15:34] hello, I'm new [15:34] Fubarovic, the motherboard is 7 years old i do not have a copy of the manual [15:34] anto: the manufacturer should provide a disk image maybe floppy the problem is alot of em give it out as a .exe so im not sure how youll use it [15:34] anto, create a bootable dosdisk, create a second floppy with the bios flashtool and the new rom on it [15:34] sky_: cron job? [15:35] anto:usually involves downloading new bios, writing to bootable floppy or cd, then following gui prompts from dos at boot [15:35] anto: Why do you need to upgrade the mb bios ? [15:35] sky_: its like a scheduled task [15:35] stelt: are you sure that's where the harddrive is located in /dev/? [15:35] boot from the bootfloppy, swap the floppies and launch the flash tool [15:35] pike_: yeah, because I keep seeing that whenever it reboots... sorta [15:35] I have Ubuntu in VirtualBox [15:35] instructions should be included in the new bios rom, anto [15:35] it works great! [15:35] not exactly a reboot, but it goes into a dos-like screen for some reason [15:35] sky_: how often does this happen daily or once a week? [15:35] Jack_Sparrow, Because my cd driver does not work on it [15:35] also, be very carefully, if something goes wrong, your mainboard might be dead === michael__ is now known as mjbardel [15:35] you think an upgrade will help? [15:35] pike_: I haven't exactly monitored it long enough to discover a frequent pattern [15:36] anto: Rather odd.. does it work in windows? [15:36] but I think once a day [15:36] Fubarovic, someone told me it would and i realy need to reinstall my system on that machine [15:36] Jack_Sparrow, when i try to load the live cd it just says reboot error [15:36] louish: Anything click? [15:36] ubuntunut: The thing that bugs me is that, when I connect with the live cd (boot up) everything at work, works fine. [15:36] beernutz: right click, select properties and select a program to run it, not right click and run with. It works for me. [15:37] does anyone here hack? [15:37] Jack_Sparrow, when i googled on that + the philips cd player it said that i should try and upgrade the bios [15:37] anto: I think you are heading in the wrong direction [15:37] sky_: syslog might give you a clue as to which job it is maybe just pastebin the whole thing and tell us the time it occured [15:37] i don't believe that [15:37] yeah [15:37] try a different drive instead [15:37] one you know is working [15:37] louish: Yes, that is quite peculiar. [15:37] anto: May I look at the link... I have seen way too many flashes turn working hardware into doorstops [15:38] sky_: that seems like the ticket! Thank you! [15:38] Can anyone assist me with video not working in my Mozilla web browser? [15:38] Just installed ubuntu [15:38] pike_: aye, I think I'll just pastebin it, not very good at this. [15:38] mjbardel: what kinda video? [15:38] anto: Is this a new player you just installed or has it been working under another os [15:38] !flash | mjbardel [15:38] \join #hackthissite [15:38] mjbardel: 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 » [15:39] pike_: in notice? [15:40] Hi, i installed ubuntu-restricted-extra's for the codecs. But in this package he installs also the Microsoft fonts. When i open google now i see the ugly times new roman fonts. How can i change this ms fonts to the original fonts? [15:40] Jack_Sparrow, it works when im runing ubuntu [15:40] Does anyone know how to get Apache to parse *.html files with PHP when using the "new" apache2 configuration structure for php? === no0tic_ is now known as no0tic [15:40] !lamp | gogzme1 [15:40] gogzme1: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [15:40] gogzme1, use ht.access === gogzme1 is now known as cdeszaq [15:40] anto: So when does it not work [15:40] Jack_Sparrow, when tring to load the live cd [15:40] pike_: http://pastebin.com/m5d750791 happened around 23:25 I guess. [15:41] sky_: Thank you, that works perfectly! Had been wondering where the default launch properties were. Now i can set for movies as well. FINALLY! lol.. Thanks again! [15:41] is your bios set to "boot from cd"? [15:41] Jack_Sparrow, it loads 3% then says Error reading boot CD: 8042009F [15:41] Give or take a few minutes [15:41] anto: So how did you install ubuntu in the first place? [15:41] anto, did you md5sum the iso before burning it? [15:41] louish; I appologize but I don't have the time to help you. Have class in a few moments. Good luck, and sorry I couldn't solve your problem. Don't give up, the answer is there. [15:41] beernutz: yeah, heheh. Its a bit of as hassle since you gotta do it for every file type, but you only gotta do it once for each file type :) [15:41] por favor alguem me ajuda?e eu estou com o cd de instalação do ubuntu 7.04 aqui, estou pronto pra instalar, mas quero particionar meu hd que tem 120 giga, pra deixar uma com o xp e a outra com o ubunto, como faço isso? por onde começar? [15:41] hello can you read this? [15:41] anto: That method works, but I am hosting a number of sites and I want that behavior to apply to all of them without having to write it into many different files [15:41] srobot: yes. [15:42] anto: I would just hate to see you run the risk of a bad bios flash when it is doubtful it will not fix the problem [15:42] cool! [15:42] Jack_Sparrow, i put that hardisk into this computer [15:42] Fubarovic, it works fine on this computer :S [15:42] I'm running Ubuntu on vBox [15:42] Hi, i installed ubuntu-restricted-extra's for the codecs. But in this package he installs also the Microsoft fonts. When i open google now i see the ugly times new roman fonts. How can i change this ms fonts to the original fonts? [15:42] sky_: did you restart yourself when you lost the desktop? [15:42] anyone else on VirtualBox? [15:43] then swap cd-drives, anto [15:43] anto: What about running the hd install.. and trying to read but not boot from the cd.. as in create an iso from it and md5 that [15:43] flashing will not make any difference [15:43] :( [15:43] no one here [15:43] anto: Or do you have the problem reading ANY cd's [15:43] pike_: no. Heres what happened. It "restarted" (went into some kinda dos-like window, which prompted me to login, I did), then there was some error about some gnome applet not loading/working properly, and it asked me if I wanted to delete it [15:44] can someone help me with a font problem? [15:44] Jack_Sparrow, i dont have problem reading from any cs [15:44] I selected to not delete it, and reboot, since it usually solves problem(yay for reboots) [15:44] Jack_Sparrow, i dont have problem reading from any cds* [15:44] searching for a txt-file containing the string "test" i have to do this, right? grep "test" *.txt [15:44] how do I connect to other IRC? [15:44] thomas_faddegon: I think there are mozilla options for fonts [15:44] sky_: ok so what happened is gdm crashed : gdm[19291]: WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 [15:44] you can disable the fonts on google [15:44] how come I can't change my KDM login theme on Gutsy?

[15:44] ok i'll search for a mozilla soltion [15:44] anto: But.. can you read the ubuntu cd from the running HD installation [15:44] Jack_Sparrow, what is the HD installation? [15:44] thomas_faddegon: I think you can uninstall those fonts manually via synaptic too [15:45] put that in the chat? [15:45] anto: You said you had ubuntu running on the hard drive [15:45] yeah [15:45] but its totaly fucked [15:45] anto: please watch the language [15:45] but the installer automatically download the fonts [15:45] anto: but it does run and can read cd's, but can it read the ubuntu cd [15:45] Jack_Sparrow, eehm teenagers now days :P [15:46] it's not a deb package [15:46] sky_: were you running firefox at the time? can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log too? [15:46] it says "Unknown command" if I type /server newserver [15:46] thomas_faddegon: yeah, the restricted set is one nice package it seems. [15:46] Jack_Sparrow, yeah [15:46] pike_, sec. [15:46] can anyone tell me how to configure my ati radeon 7500 mobility for dual head usage? [15:46] does anyone here run multiple monitors and compiz on an nvidia card? [15:46] but what is the default mozilla codec? [15:46] Jack_Sparrow, is it possible to reinstall ubuntu while beeing on the actual installed copy? [15:46] thomas_faddegon: You just change to the fonts you want. I don't really don't think you can globally switch to defaults, unless you were to uninstall the package that installed the new ones. On the browser: Edit -> Preferences -> Content [15:46] then i change is in my about:config [15:46] anto: then it is an issue of booting the live cd... does it boot a windows cd.. assuming you have one around [15:47] Jack_Sparrow, or should i try changing this cd driver to that computer since this one it older [15:47] I'm new to irc so please help!!!!! [15:47] Jack_Sparrow, it does i didnt have any problem with that before [15:47] ubuntunut, i know hardly anything certain when it comes to OSes [15:47] pike_, http://pastebin.com/m73b2fa3c [15:47] it says "Unknown command" if I type /server newserver [15:47] thomas_faddegon: huh? [15:47] thanks usr13_ and sky i'll try the mozilla way [15:47] anto: then you do not need to flash the bios. [15:48] anto: may we close the door on that subject and move on to getting the live cd to boot [15:48] srobot: srobot /server irc.freenode.net [were irc.freenode.net is the server you wish to use] [15:48] Jack_Sparrow, yea [15:48] eh tried to run gparted but it says i have to be root [15:48] would my root password be the same as my main account password? [15:48] but what are the default ubuntu fonts? [15:48] citm: sudo gparted [15:49] pike_: I also notice that the fonts sometimes change... oddly enough [15:49] !sudo > citm (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [15:49] anto: While you may need to use the alternate cd... may I ask if you have been able to boot that particular ubuntucd in a different machine [15:49] citm: yes [15:49] : /server irc.freenode.net does not work... [15:49] thanks :D [15:49] srobot: You're already on freenode. [15:49] sky_: are you on 64bit? [15:49] oh... [15:49] now i know what sudo means :D [15:49] Jack_Sparrow, yeah i have on bvoth this and my laptop [15:49] pike_, yep [15:49] citm: also be sure to use gksudo to run gui apps as root [15:49] srobot: What irc client are you using? [15:50] : /server irc.hackthissite.org does not work [15:50] hey folks, I've got a problem with a NIC in a 7.10 server I've just built [15:50] I see the module for the driver loaded, and ifconfig shows the device, but it will not aquire an address [15:50] mii-diag says it gets a physicial link [15:50] anto: good... so that helps narrow down the problem. do you get to the start or install screen of the live cd [15:50] not sure how to get this extra space from my linux partition back to vista though [15:50] dont get resize option, its shaded out [15:50] usr13: the one that came with Ubuntu [15:50] SpaceBass: sudo dhclient [15:51] citm: Not on a mounted partition.... [15:51] how can I point mono to version 1.2.6 instead of 1.2.4 [15:51] srobot: xchat ? === dusty_ is now known as jimjones [15:51] citm, you need to unmount the partition before you resize it [15:51] Jack_Sparrow, yeah its when i try and load the live cd it loads 3% of the kernel and then gives me IO Error reading boot CD. [15:51] usr13_, times out waiting for address [15:51] Pidgin [15:51] Hello [15:51] sky_: what driver are you using? seems like an xorg problem and vesa would likely be a workaround [15:51] pike_, its like sometimes the fonts are narrow on the window title(prefer that) and sometimes they're sorta fixed-width [15:52] pike_: the restricted nvidia driver. [15:52] it wont let me unmount [15:52] anto: so.. at start or install you will hit F6 and try a variety of options.... I will list in a sec [15:52] SpaceBass: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.91 ; ping 192.168.1.1 [15:52] citm, you are most likely using that partition right now, you can't resize it. Your best option is to run the ubuntu livecd [15:52] I just enabled it, but never really checked which one it's using [15:52] SpaceBass: Check your network conection' [15:52] usr: Pidgin [15:52] ahh thank you :D [15:52] what's vesa? [15:52] Windows or Linux ? [15:52] Jack_Sparrow, if you get this to work your my hero lol [15:52] ^^ [15:52] can i resize partitions from within vista?

[15:53] srobot: pidgin is not an irc client Try xchat [15:53] citm, don't know. but you'll have the same problem since you're using that partition when using vista [15:53] just installed ubuntu, and when i try and put on desktop effect or compiz the screen goes white [15:53] anto: acpi=off, pci=irqroute, xmodule=vesa, vga=normal, vga=771, vga=791, pci=irqroute, framebuffer=false, ide=nodma, nomce, pnpbios=off, xdrvr=vesa, res=800x600, apm=off,pci=noapci, noapic, nolapic, all_generic_ide, nolapic, pci=assign-busses, pci=irqpoll, pci=biosirq, pnpbios=off, hpet=disable is the full list that I have [15:53] usr13_, The physical layer is fine...confirmed several times over [15:53] usr: what do you mean? [15:53] Hello =) [15:53] sky_: i think this is a confirmed bug.. um you might simply try a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and choose nvidia driver but see this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/140554 [15:53] SpaceBass: mtool [15:53] Jack_Sparrow, should i write that into the boot options after the stuff that is already there? [15:53] umm [15:53] anto: The one I use most to boot a stubborn system is noapic before the -- in the boot line [15:53] usr13_, one sec...bouncing the box [15:54] is someone around who has experience with ati drivers and 7.10? [15:54] how do I connect to /server irc.hackthissite.org? [15:54] pike_, so the problem is actually my gpu drivers going bonkers? [15:54] SpaceBass: Sorry that was wrong, just a sec. [15:54] anto: Just one at a time for the moment and if you can give the exact error it will help [15:54] usr13_ thinking about mii-tool and mii-diag ? [15:54] just installed ubuntu, and when i try and put on desktop effect or compiz the screen goes white [15:54] Jack_Sparrow, o well hell alot of testin mate [15:54] sky_: not the driver i dont think.. i think its an xorg thing not specific to nvidia driver [15:55] anto: It should only take a couple tries... [15:55] wow dude i love you [15:55] anto: what is your hardware asus but what model [15:55] I'll try that sudo thing first [15:55] Jack_Sparrow, i added acpi=off and it loaded directly :D [15:55] anto: Feeling better eh? [15:56] srobot, which client are you using? [15:56] SpaceBass: Yes [15:56] should I autodetect?

The name of the game is Eve-Online. Im trying to run 2 version of the game on this laptop. but i need to start one trough the GUI (what ive done already) and another by terminal (wich i havent yet). Because i dont know how to find the correct direcoty and launche the .exe in a terminal. SO get me to that file please! [16:31] is there a shortcut for picking up nicknames when you write to someone? [16:31] nakerlund: [16:31] I got the volume up as far as I know.. I've tried unmuting everything too [16:32] What''s the path for firefox for flash install? [16:32] nakerlund, how are your speakers connected? [16:32] Yes, they are connected... I got sound in vista [16:32] nakerlund, no, I didn't ask if they were connected [16:32] nakerlund: Make sure your speakers are plugged into the right port. [16:32] tailsfan: /usr/lib/firefox/plugins is the plugin dir [16:32] nakerlund, I asked where you pluged them in [16:32] morning [16:32] nakerlund, just because something works in windows doesn't mean it will work in linux. [16:32] is there any easy way to change the scroll wheel speed in Ubuntu 7.10? [16:32] nakerlund: If there is a port labled headphones, try that one. [16:33] tomd: sorry I missread, they are connected in the port... I'm not sure exactly what it is called [16:33] nakerlund, sounds issues, im guessing ? [16:33] nakerlund, I had put my headphones in a front port before on windows and it worked, later I discovered it was using software emulation or something to put the sound on that port... I had to connect it with a wire inside my computer for it to work under linux. [16:33] nakerlund: Did you "Open Volume Control" yet? [16:34] nakerlund, well is it the port directly on the sound card? [16:34] neverblue: Yes, sound issues :) [16:34] nakerlund, all the hardware works fine? (sound card, speakers, headphones) [16:34] Xserver-xgl slow [16:34] help pls [16:34] nakerlund: Did you "Open Volume Control" yet?

[16:36] hmm [16:36] nakerlund: Did you see that PCM is not turned down? [16:36] I've made it show all devices it can [16:36] erawfish, ? [16:36] nakerlund, use 'alsamixer', in a terminal [16:36] usr13: not turned down, now [16:37] nakerlund: Did you see PCM ?

[16:38] nakerlund, how are you testing the sound? what are you attempting to play sound with? [16:39] I will reboot [16:39] Plz check the forums for others with a similar issue? [16:39] nakerlund: Did you try plugging the speakers into different port [16:39] be back in a bit [16:39] usr13: It much more faster and better to use the "sleep" function. Like when I on school and don want to lose everything I working with. [16:39] tomd: I'm testing my sound in "sound preferences" [16:39] nakerlund, try 'alsamixer' [16:40] neverblue: I haven\t done that yet.

[16:42] usr13: I got the alsamixer up [16:42] hi all [16:42] (although I am not sure why you dont have the alsamixer installed already) [16:42] nakerlund: See that nothing is muted or turned down, especially Master and PCM [16:43] neverblue: Do you know what that function is called in english? In Norwegian it "hvilemodus". [16:43] Hello, could anybody please tell me how I can remove entries from the gconf database, whose schemas have been uninstalled?

[16:44] neverblue: What was I supposed to install? [16:44] i need to move unallocated space from dev/sda4 to dev/sda3, any ideas? [16:44] usr13: I've tried all ports... [16:44] citm: what fs are you using? [16:44] Instead of turning of your computer you put it into sleep. Everything you have on the screen is saved into the ram, so you can get it up very fast when you open the laptop screen. [16:44] where do i find the thing that refers to my harddrive so i can run fdisk on it? [16:44] nakerlund, what was returned from the results.... [16:44] stelt: /dev/sda [16:44] gparted live [16:45] but are /dev/sda4 and /dev/sda3 ext3 file systems, or something that's resizable? [16:45] list [16:45] I can't seem to get GParted to partition my hdd. Says that it won't let me because "most likely" there is a partition attach to it but there isn't. [16:45] stelt, type mount to see your currently mounted drives. run fdisk /dev/sd[X] and type p to see your partitions [16:45] nakerlund: That's about it, we've covered all the options. Just go over them and see if you missed one. YOu can test at the terminal with command: cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp [16:46] neverblue: The alsamixer list? [16:46] stelt, where X is a-d [16:46] let me check [16:46] stelt, and use the proper fsck for your filesystem. [16:46] stelt, if you have reiserfs, you need to use reiserfsck [16:46] sda3 is extended, sda4 is ext3 [16:46] nakerlund, seems your having a problem following instructions, good luck! :) [16:46] usr13: Ok, I'll go through them all again... Thanks for now [16:46] stelt: sorry, wrong person [16:46] nakerlund: cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp [16:46] nakerlund: Ctrl-c to stop it. [16:46] citm, e2fsck -j for ext3 [16:47] sorry?

[16:47] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [16:47] how would i partition my hdd to dual boot xp? [16:47] who ever it is that gives a fsck, let me know if you still need help [16:47] !dualboot | Masse [16:47] Masse: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [16:47] dont make my mistake and chose the % you want to give to linux [16:47] that % is what you're keeping for windows [16:47] nakerlund: Try: cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp and see if it gives you some sort of error. [16:48] citm, so ext3 is not really easy to resize, but if you have enough space to put everything (temporarily) onto one of those partitions, it's fairly straightforward... [16:48] ciao [16:48] don't make the mistake of keeping windows ;) [16:48] hrmm.. theres plenty of space its basically a brand new computer [16:48] ext3 is only 15 gigs though [16:48] theres 50 unallocated in it [16:48] DRebellion: Thanks alot [16:48] before it [16:48] so what are you doing with the unallocated space? [16:49] which is the channel to ask questions about the alpha release? [16:49] give it back to one of my windows drives [16:49] usr13: Tried that already but Im doing it again now... [16:49] hello [16:49] nakerlund: You can leave cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp running while you test. [16:49] pdlnhrd: #ubuntu+1 [16:49] I see. Okay, so the first thing I would think of is this (and it's a lot of steps, but none of them too hard): [16:49] thanks pike [16:50] usr13: Tried all the ports now and it is running still [16:50] cheers cjones [16:50] * citm gets his laptop on his lap [16:50] cjones, keep it to one line, if too large, use pastebin [16:50] tomd: Ubuntu is nice and runs faster then WIndows, but windows still have some function I miss in Ubuntu, like better compability for games and windows programs and the weired sleep mode that fails. [16:50] Sorry about that [16:50] cjones, ah sorry, didnt realize u were replying [16:50] no worries [16:50] Plz: which windows programs? [16:51] Plz: How does the sleep mode fail? [16:51] Okay citm, before I start giving directions, I think I should understand your situation fully [16:51] hi all: I installed kde4 to test it, I recently remove it, but when I reboot, it doesn't login into gnome it stays in terminal, how do I fix this? [16:51] when installing ubunto i chose 15gb from my D:\ drive, which i thought would give 15GB to my linux partition, but it worked the other way [16:51] So let me see if I have it straight. You have a system with some windows drives, [16:51] Joelito: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm <-- might fix [16:51] and left my D:\ with 15gb [16:51] then some empty space, then an ext3 file system [16:51] usr13: If it helps, this is a new install of ubuntu 7.10... and sound didn't work on the live CD either [16:51] Plz: well, I don't care about games or software suspend, so I'm pretty happy without it. Besides, the more users who migrate to linux the more games that will be developed for it. and it's only a matter of time before the developers hammer out software suspend/hibernation [16:51] usr13: When I turn the machine on again from sleep mode the light on my laptop screen is gone... I can see the login buttons, but it really hard. [16:52] pike_: trying [16:52] Plz: Are you taling about trying to come out of sleep mode? Did you try pressing power button? [16:52] sda1 is my restore partition on my laptop, sda2 is the main C:\ drive, D:\ is sda3 and linux is on sda4, sda4 is ext3, with 50gb of unallocated space before it [16:52] Not to mention that with a little investigation you could probably fix your suspend problems. I personally have problems with returing from sleep on ubuntu. [16:52] * Timon_Crazy bbl [16:52] Usr13: Yes, I have and the same thing happends. [16:52] Plz: Just hit enter. [16:53] oh i actually need to get it to sda5 which is under sda4 [16:53] Plz: Because it will be on Cancel [16:53] I press the power button and I come back, but my Xsession is over and networking fails.. I need to reload those modules and start a new X session [16:53] and thats ntfs [16:53] usr13: i will test it now then. [16:53] Okay, does parted do resizing of ntfs drives? [16:53] cjones, gparted, yes [16:54] i can resize them, but i can only seem to take space from anything thats directly before/after it [16:54] great, thanks [16:54] Right, so where do you want your linux partition? At the end? [16:54] Or in the middle? [16:55] i dont really care, at the moment it is at the end.. [16:55] Hello, I have the following function http://pastebin.com/d7dc971eb to get the user input and enforce it's a number in the specified interval (0.255), now I wish to add the default choice, so this function must return char(-1) if user just hits ENTER. Any suggestions? [16:55] Now my screen is black and I can see a shit. This is what happening when I turn the machine on from sleep mode. [16:55] brb.. [16:55] ARES: you want ##c :) [16:55] jrib, nobody answered me in ##c [16:55] ARES: be patient, that is the proper channel [16:56] citm: The ntfs partition is at the end? [16:56] Does anyone know of a command line program that i can use to copy stuff to the clipboard? [16:56] Okay, so what I think you want is: restore part, windows part (making it bigger), linux part. Correct? [16:56] is there an easy way to increase the amount of lines used on the mouse scroll wheel? [16:56] Or did you want a d: drive, as well? [16:56] jrib, no it isn't because it's a C++ not C code :-p [16:56] wouldnt mind the D:\ too [16:56] citm: Are you using gparted liveCD? [16:56] pike_: worked! Thanks :) [16:57] yup gparted live [16:57] ARES: heh, ok ##c++ then [16:57] Okay then, restore, windows, windows, linux [16:57] right? [16:57] * jrib missed the couts [16:57] Joelito: cool np [16:57] btw. Plz your problem is ACPI related, try DSDT override patch and fix your ACPI (decompile with iasl, then compile again) [16:58] citm: And what you're wanting to do is to shrink the ntfs partition and move it to the end? [16:58] How does one go about fixing this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22/+bug/147134 ? [16:58] no i just want this unallocated space back in the ntfs partition [16:58] but i cant seem to move it up past the linux-swap [16:58] what do i get in a server installation? [16:59] citm: I think you can do this: first, create a new ext3 partition of 15 gigs at the end of the drive. [16:59] urs13: Do you know why the light on the screen is just gone? [16:59] second, copy everything from the current linux partition to the new one [16:59] Slart you there? [16:59] third, remove the current linux partition === Plz_ is now known as Plz [17:00] citm: delete linux-swap and then move it. [17:00] fourth, resize the ntfs partition to take up the extra space [17:00] or yeah, usr13_ has a good suggestion, too [17:00] Either way with those, you'll have to do some fiddling around with your /etc/fstab and probably /boot/grub/menu.lst [17:00] (once you're done with the rest of it) [17:01] citm: delete linux-swap, you can re-create it afterwards. [17:01] Lettuc3: sure.. I found out why lyx won't work with eps-files [17:01] hi [17:01] Slart im in offtopic.

[17:02] clear [17:02] If you have your linux-swap as a primary partition at the end, then do what usr13_ says [17:02] i have a problem. i just had to install a new motherboard with an onboard graphics card. my old card wont work in it. i cannot get ubuntu to work with the new graphics either, every time i boot up it tells me to pick a graphics card. my board is an ECS 671T-M with a SiS 671/968;Mirage3 Vid. and im trying to run ubuntu 7.10. i can get it to work as far as the GUI but its locked in at 800x600 and wont do any of the pretty st [17:02] Wait, so is there even a linux-swap partition?

[17:05] ok DRebellion [17:05] kOndenzatOr, when did this problem first arise, what did you do last [17:05] sveakex: server stuff :) (no gui) [17:05] Anyone know a tutorial for visual effects [17:05] Right, but the fourth primary should be where the extended partitions actually reside [17:06] what is the root password [17:06] DRebellion: is it like a minimal gentoo installation? [17:06] !root | skipity [17:06] skipity: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password.

[17:07] Anyone know how to get visual effects working [17:07] citm: There is no unallocated space within a partition, it is just unallocated space on the drive. === bruenig|laptop is now known as bruenig [17:08] lukasz: you mean compiz? [17:08] usr13_, I think citm means that the unallocated space is sitting between partitions [17:08] well its unallocated at the end of the drive and it wont let me move the other stuff down and it up [17:08] yeah [17:08] kOdenzator, aptitude install coreutils [17:08] yup [17:08] kOndenzatOr, aptitude install bash if you can still use aptitude of course [17:08] xgserver-xgl is bad [17:08] kOndenzatOr, if not, use a livecd [17:08] xserver-xgl* [17:08] lukasz: what card and what driver [17:08] citm: You cant move over other partitions, they have to be in the same order, unless you want do delete one and re-create it, (therefore loosing data that was stored on deleted partition).

I'm switching from ubuntu amd64 to ubuntu i386. I've installed 169.09 .run from nvidia (got the latest chipset, I need those drivers). When I startx all works perfectly, nvidia logo, direct rendering on, 1600x1200. When I reboot I return in vesa mode because it appears does not find the drivers or the device. I've never get this bug on amd64, any idea please ?

[17:57] sipior: there usually are, and I kill them often. I'll start clean again, though. [17:57] bazhang I tried that before it doesnt work [17:58] cjones: also, try an "lsof /home/foo" and see what's accessing files in your home directory [17:58] bazhang: When you do the save-as.. there are two options for saving templates... [17:58] celes once you have adjusted the default page, then go to file menu and choose 'save as' give it a descriptive name such as template one or whatever then from the menu inside the save as popup window choose open office text template .ott ; after that when you start open office you can either open recent--and that will be top of the list--write what you wish, save it as odt or ms word or whatever and the template is left untouched [17:58] Celes, whats the issue now ? [17:58] sipior: will do. also of note is the fact that compiz is still running after each time I log off... [17:58] !lamp [17:58] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[18:00] write? [18:00] Jack_Sparrow: cheers! [18:00] my sound card isnt detected [18:00] whats that mean Algyz ? [18:00] Arrick, no [18:00] Jack that would require me opening the temp document everytime to just write a document [18:00] what port is FTP by default? [18:00] 21?

[18:00] neverblue: ok. [18:00] groven1023: yes [18:00] celes now quit open office and try to open recent and you will see that same format [18:00] macabro22, does the hardware function ? [18:01] sipior: okay, nuked all processes except ttys, and (for good measure) renuked all .gnome* .gconf* dirs [18:01] slart: do I need to do anything special or just run the install and partition? [18:01] cjones: it's the only way to be sure :) [18:01] celes then write a macro to launch it--this way is foolproof though [18:01] neverblue: it does on Windows, and used to before, except for the microphone [18:01] so I have to keep opening recent to just see my template?!!! [18:01] hi all [18:01] groven1023: I think you can just keep installing and partitioning [18:01] slart, sweet, thanks [18:01] celes this is a minor issue--open recent is not some huge strain [18:01] macabro22, then u compiled alsa from source, I hope you backed up ? [18:02] sipior: yup. but it still didn't help. This seems really strange to me [18:02] groven1023: I don't know what the menus in grub will look like though.. might have a hard time telling them apart [18:02] bazhang it is when im gonna have many essays under there! [18:02] cjones: and the same errors as before? [18:02] My USB devices aren't being recognized. If the device is plugged in before or immediately after logging in to ubuntu it will work, but after a few minutes it won't recognize any new devices. and flash drives/external hard drives will disappear as well, not even unmounting but just gone. Any ideas? [18:02] macabro22, so the mic didnt ever work in Windows? [18:02] neverblue: I didn't back up [18:02] slart, true, but it'd be fun to try it [18:02] celes you have the solution--if you want something more complex go to the openoffice channel [18:02] neverblue: in windows it does, but not in Ubuntu [18:02] groven1023: sure... go ahead =) [18:02] are there any known issues about booting the 7.10 cd on an intel 965P with 8800 nvidia? i always get a black screen when booting [18:02] sipior: nope, none of them. [18:02] you didnt explain it well bazhang [18:03] macabro22, so 'yes' your hardware functions ? [18:03] Mordhorst: I think it's the 8800.. try disabling the splash screen [18:03] cjones: no errors? it jut hangs? what about Xorg.0.log? [18:03] try typing "noapic nolapic" at the boot menu (press F6 then type it" [18:03] neverblue: yes, thats proper. [18:03] celes join open office for the pros then; good day to you [18:03] !who | CLLEW [18:03] CLLEW: 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 :) [18:03] macabro22, have you used 'alsamixer' to configure your sound yet ? [18:03] "then write a macro"(in my mind then write a what?) [18:03] Slart: Tried safeboot... should disable splash, or? [18:04] mordhorst: press F6, type in "Noapic Nolapic" without quotes, it should boot okay if its the same as what happens to me. [18:04] Mordhorst: hmm.. not sure.. you can add a NOSPLASH switch in grub.. or remove the SPLASH switch.. don't remember that either =) [18:04] CCLEW: do you had some weird beep sounds about one minute after booting too? [18:05] sipior: that all depends on how you define "hangs", but yeah [18:05] sipior: also, Xorg.0.log has (II) stuff, but no errors [18:05] * sipior scratches his head [18:05] I have an ubuntu feisty server lamps setup: how many max-connections can mysql handle, 3GB ram?? [18:05] Mordhorst: what happens to me is it goes through the boot process, then just kinda stops at a point (usually after something about restricted drivers or some such). when I run it with noapic nolapic when booting it runs fine [18:05] neverblue: hmm.. I didn't I was trying the alsamixergui [18:05] Celes: Read this.. http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=71&p=9235 [18:06] macabro22, works the same === pan__ is now known as mo0n_sniper [18:06] macabro22, what application are you attempting to listen to the audio within?

My volume control icon displays a "forbidden" icon and when I double click it I get no devices found and/or no volume control GStreamer [18:08] i listened to music beforew [18:08] before [18:08] My USB devices stop being recognized a few minutes into booting. I ran Lsusb and basically it says that there isn't anything there, even the USB mouse that continues to work. Help? [18:08] I received an error about an unclean mount of my filesystem (7.10) I went to run fsck (It's the only thing I know) it says Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE damage so I quit. How should I clean things up? [18:09] neverblue : then? [18:09] macabro22, lspci should give you a listing of the audio device, can you see it listed in there (please never post multiple lines in the channel) === denny^AFK is now known as denny [18:09] orgthingy, adjust the volume.... === x-spec-t is now known as Spec [18:09] how? [18:09] cjones: i am a bit baffled. to be clear: every nis user is unable to start X, but every local user can. also, the failsafe login works in both cases. is that correct? [18:10] neverblue: I do see it, hang on I will pastebin for you [18:10] hi all :) === trypglyph is now known as yarrrrr [18:10] xmms says : "couldnt open audio" and says something about sound card [18:10] anyone here have experience using Ubuntu in a thin-client enviorment? [18:10] sipior: yes, as long as you define "unable to start X" as "it kind of starts, but you can't really see anything" [18:10] cjones: also, when you do an "ls -l" in your home directory, the userids are mapped correctly? [18:11] sipior: yes [18:11] cjones: yeah, that's a good definition :) === swarm is now known as swarm2 [18:11] thank you Jack_Sparrow you are the only one that helped me [18:11] sipior: I know that feeling of baffle-ment.

[18:11] neverblue: here: http://www.pastebin.ca/891513 [18:11] Celes: We were all trying to help.. you were your own worst enemy [18:11] orgthingy: check the preferences for sound and make sure its selected [18:11] orgthingy: the xmms preferences [18:11] aha [18:12] apologies, cjones, i'm fresh out of ideas at the moment. i assume everything works fine from the live CD? could you setup your nis configuration after booting from it? [18:12] Celes: Glad you got it.. [18:12] also on youtube, nothing plays [18:12] bazhang wants to kill me [18:12] did ubuntu break something recently? [18:12] for causing him stress [18:12] i can't enable acpi all of a sudden [18:12] sipior: unfortunately, no. This is just one machine in a larger (working) NIS setup [18:13] Celes keep the posts to a minimum please, its a very busy channel [18:13] megatog615: what's the problem? [18:13] sipior: wait, now I get what you were asking [18:13] My USB devices stop being recognized a few minutes into booting. I ran Lsusb and basically it says that there isn't anything there, even the USB mouse that continues to work. Help? [18:13] I received an error about an unclean mount of my filesystem (7.10) I went to run fsck (It's the only thing I know) it says Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE damage so I quit. How should I clean things up? [18:13] hi there! help what is this error that i encountered when updating.. E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [18:13] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [18:13] macabro23, compiling the source, I believe, is where your issue is [18:13] flats: umount it first [18:13] what do i do to correct this? [18:13] sipior: can you log in and out with the live CD to test that it even works? [18:13] At boot I get an error about ACPI not able to start [18:14] But I'm using it...I think [18:14] letme get some details [18:14] neverblue: how can I fix it? [18:14] or at least I assume [18:14] flats did you happen to install Ubuntu from the LiveCD ? [18:14] is there a way for me to fix this error? [18:14] cjones: you could set up an /etc/nsswitch.conf there, on the temporary filesystem. you could copy over your passwd and shadow files, and basically mirror the configuration. === asdfasdf is now known as ^4nDr3s [18:15] flats: boot off the livecd and run it from there [18:15] macabro23, well, first, never compile from the source, unless you know what your doing, second, backup [18:15] hi! how do i restart synaptics touchpad when "synaptics" functions stop working? without restarting X? === ^4nDr3s is now known as RoAkSoAx [18:15] ahhh OK. [18:15] sipior: yeah, but if I log out, I'm pretty sure the liveCD then shuts the computer down... [18:15] I'll try that [18:15] macabro23, as for the quickest solution, re-install your OS, save everyone and yourself valuable time, and take this as a lesson learned [18:15] cjones: oh bugger, you might be right :( [18:15] woah [18:15] how to get the gnome clock to sync via ntp *right now* [18:15] all of a sudden it's working [18:16] ok, a tar.gz file is extracted how in ubuntu? [18:16] i got strange errors from modules loading [18:16] Arrick: tar xzvf file.tar.gz [18:16] oh thank God I thought my hardware was dead [18:16] sipior: I think my next step is to check the failsafe gnome script and enable things one at a time to see where it's failing... [18:16] cjones: maybe try knoppix, or another live cd. verify that it is in fact the install [18:16] * jetscreamer doesn't say 'in the usual fashion' [18:16] Well thanks for the help anyway [18:16] cjones: that sounds like a good plan of attack. best of luck! [18:17] hi there! help what is this error that i encountered when updating.. "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [18:17] sipior: Thanks for your help [18:17] E: _cache->open() failed, please report." [18:17] neverblue: I don't wanna loose all my setup. Isn't there another way around? [18:17] macabro23, yes, backing up [18:17] DRebellion, how about to put it into a directory now? I just opend that up to have hiundreds of files in my /home/ [18:18] Arrick: that's called a tarbomb. blame the author. [18:18] If I don't want XGL anymore how can I stop it from auto starting? [18:18] macabro23, possibly a 'linux' channel might assist more, as in Ubuntu its not common to compile from source for many packages... [18:18] neverblue: what if I undo things my doing sudo make uninstall at the directories I compiled the crap? [18:18] anyone here have experience using Ubuntu in a thin-client enviorment? [18:18] Trex_: do what apt-get told you to i.e. sudo dpkg --configure -a [18:18] neverblue: ok man, thanks [18:19] macabro23, i dont know enough about compiling from source to answer your question [18:19] My USB devices stop being recognized a few minutes into booting. I ran Lsusb and basically it says that there isn't anything there, even the USB mouse that continues to work. It seems as tho my USB driver just explods or something a few minutes after boot [18:19] rajasun: thanks bro. that is to be done in terminal right? [18:19] sipior: Oh, and one other thing: fluxbox starts fine. It seems to be a problem with gnome [18:19] CLLEW, lsusb doesnt see the device? [18:19] Trex_: yes [18:19] sipior: just fyi [18:20] neverblue: i'll past bin the results [18:20] cjones: huh. well, that localises the problem some :) fluxbox sounds perfectly nice...

[18:20] neverblue: yeah, it doesnt show anything [18:20] Trex_: np [18:20] CLLEW, have you changed your setup, before the devices disappeared ?

[18:22] How to remove history of Image reader? [18:22] CLLEW, what USB devices are not working? just a USB mouse?

Is this possible at all ? [20:52] peaches: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Spca5xx . and all it took was google... [20:52] krasher: Use the old kernel. [20:52] !ban | konqui0018 [20:52] konqui0018: If you have been banned it is probably because you have not gone along with what is acceptable !behaviour.

[20:53] well... and they say you can get support with linux... just like windows... everything is a huge black box! [20:54] PriceChild: Ah :D Thanks [20:54] So, if somone gets banned for getting in a fight with somone (maybe a mod) in the channel, they basically lose their support from one of the largest sources of support for their OS...? [20:54] yep - - play nice [20:54] krasher: what are you talking about? What black box? [20:54] konqui0018, issue is to be discussed in the channel you were pointed to, not here.

I have an IBM Laptop running Ubuntu 7.10 with a cdrom drive in a docking station.

Any idea how to access the drive w/o rebooting? [20:59] usr13_: sorry. I was trying to click on the pastbin link in irssi and I used the wrong button. :-\ [21:00] vlt: perhaps you have to use modprobe -i to insert the needed driver [21:00] vlt: before you connect [21:02] vlt: Since udev is making the /dev entry for it, try: sudo /etc/init.d/udev reload [21:03] Hey, i cant seem to be able to whatch anything on youtube or similair video sites, i really want a fix [21:03] usr13: sorry!

[21:05] usr13: Tried all the ports yet again but no luck :( [21:05] wow lots of folks in here huh [21:05] harm: not being able to watch videos on youtube etc would most likely be caused by not having a flash plug-in installed [21:05] harm: does firefox tell you to "install missing codecs"? [21:05] vrkhans: u sure that the video is alright? and try something other then VLC [21:06] see-g__ and DRebellion pretty sure i installed those.. howto reinstall?

[21:32] Rian-Davide: most likely due to bad driver, gnome network-manager is pretty stable [21:32] ejer: it says that the bootsector is empty and the backup is also [21:32] I want to use tor along with a MUD client (a telnet client) that doesn't natively support proxy settings. I'll be connecting to a host in a non standard port (say, 7755) but it's still plain telnet. Can tor help me with this? [21:32] Rian-Davide, well if it works, you have proven that your wifi nic works, what would you like to do nexT? [21:32] funny [21:32] 8xxx==latest version [21:32] I made changes to my xorg file but these changes are not reflected in my X session.

[21:33] cool! [21:33] bcardarell1, changes? such as ? [21:33] *cough* ghey *cough* [21:33] Starnestommy: Right, the thing is I want to connect to hostname using a special telnet client that doesn't support proxy settings. [21:33] savvas yea Im using gutsy gibbon this install is pretty fresh [21:33] bcardarell1 what changes? [21:33] At0x0: torify is a command that makes it tunnel through tor [21:33] savvas fully updated too [21:33] i really dont understand jetscreamer, what am i getting from where? [21:33] Rian-Davide: all youhave to do is install kde, you can have both, or more [21:33] bcardarell1 - have you restarted X - you need to do this for changes to take effect [21:33] roly2: did you read what it said?

(btw, planning to put 28-33 and 43-72. Hope it's reasonable. They stated it lire reasonable on some website... :) [22:17] whenever I open a new window the menu bar is off screen to the top when its minimized, any idea how to fix that? [22:17] why the heck is CONFIG_NO_HZ (tickless kernel/dynamic ticks) enabled for Gutsy server kernel images, but not desktop ones?

I just considered -devel to be inappropriate, but I'll give it a try. [22:20] cosmodad: well.. if they bite your head off you're welcome back here =) [22:20] Slart: heh :) [22:21] gnu, the refresh rates supported by monitors vary from model to model, you should refer to the product manual to know what they are -- or better run - dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to get the script to autodetect those settings [22:21] Hi. Why doesn't `mount` list my root drive? [22:21] forsaken, ldconfig could help but it depends on the type of libraries they are [22:21] anyone know why nspluginviewer segfaults all the time when there is Flash content on a page? [22:21] ssssss: hmm.. mine does.. right at the top [22:22] ssssss: but one might argue that the root filesystem is already mounted when fstab is read.. [22:22] Slart: any chance you are running Gutsy and could do me a favor and check? [22:22] Slart, mount should report it nonetheless [22:22] Slart: forum postings seem to indicate Gutsy does come with tickless enabled. [22:22] cosmodad: sure.. running gutsy 64biot [22:22] Slart, mine doesn't... it's really confusing the fsck out of me.... why wouldn't it be listed? [22:22] Slart: ah, n/m then. 64bit doesn't do tickless yet. [22:22] Hello there my asus laptop hotkey for brightness up doesn't work, any suggestions? [22:22] cosmodad: if you can wait 40 secs I can check on a 32 bit [22:23] Slart: cool, thanks. [22:23] Is there an option to install from cli with the cd ?

[22:28] Slart: I think I found the solution: I'm using the -386 kernel image. Apparently, only -generic enable dynticks. [22:28] Slart: which one do you use? [22:28] unop: hmm, oke, thx. only.. if it was so easy :) look, ihave now 17", 60Hz tft, but i want to swap him to 15" vga 50Hz, Tulp. I have alredy changed resolution from 1280*1024 to 1024*768. But refresh rate is still 60Hz. This is the lowest i can select now from Screen Resolution setup gui. So im thinking to maybe lower a littlebit the range, from 60 to 50, and also same to vertical. Woldnt it be pissible? Cuz i tryed to search a littlebit for haracteristics of my [22:28] Tulip vga, but havent foruded alot. So.. i dunno rly [22:28] DRebellion: m8 are u here ? [22:28] cosmodad: I use generic [22:28] !smp [22:28] Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed) [22:28] Slart: there you go. [22:28] For samba printing would I want to say load printers = yes? [22:29] can anyone help me [22:29] what cd do I need ? [22:29] Slart: thanks for the help. Installing -generic now.

This might have affected the fact I'm still on -386. [22:30] upgraded* [22:30] cosmodad: hehe.. well.. I guess the pentium m is getting rather old. [22:30] ok... anyone know how to autogenerate fstab? all the examples I've seen have UUIDs etc in them and mine doesn't and is in a bit of a mess [22:31] Slart: certainly. Core 2 duos are standard these days. [22:31] p/wc [22:31] how to change the rights for hard drive under the console [22:31] ? [22:31] could anyone be able to tell me, in the command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg", what does "-phigh" part mean? [22:32] gnu: I assume you have googled the word phigh ?

[22:46] !upgrade | cafaro [22:46] cafaro: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [22:46] cafaro, No [22:46] no cafaro you can upgrade inside ubuntu [22:46] found this in user.log, what does this mean "Feb 3 20:11:15 daniel-desktop gnome-power-manager: (daniel) This program cannot start until you start the dbus session service. This is usually started automatically in X or gnome startup when you start a new session." [22:46] danielski_pl: you are only using 2d graphics, so if game is 3d it will not work [22:47] cafaro, I would reccommend downloading FF2 separately and waiting until Hardy is released to upgrade directly to it [22:47] cafaro, I can walk you through installing FF2 in dapper [22:47] ejer, ehh? was that in reference to the dbus daemon problem? [22:47] Jordan_U: that is not a recommended way to go because it will break further updates imo [22:47] whats the command to change file properties, like chmod? [22:47] i have cache_peer 192.168.0.3 parent 8080 0 default and cache_peer 192.168.0.3 parent 8080 0 and acl name is dlowd, i want to allow only 2nd cache_peer for acl dload?? How [22:47] jack-desktop, it is chmod [22:47] ejer: how do i change it to 3d [22:47] unop_: no [22:48] ejer, I am going to tell him how to install it in his home folder so it does not conflict and can be removed easily [22:48] danielski_pl: did you use the restricted-driver manager to install the graphics card drivers? [22:48] bruenig, thanks. [22:48] ejer: yes [22:48] what vid card danielski_pl [22:48] is there a deb for sasc-ng? [22:49] cafaro, the easiest ( and least invasive ) thing to do to install Firefox 2 is to first download the tar.gz from mozilla's site ( I'm getting the link now... ) [22:49] sarthor, is that in relation to squid? [22:49] !find sasc-ng [22:49] I need to recover a ntfs partition, probably I have bad sector on my hd (it fell down) and I can't boot anymore from XP [22:49] So it's not possible to update from the latest version of ubuntu from 6.02 (dapper) directly in one step? [22:49] Package/file sasc-ng does not exist in gutsy [22:49] hi, i've a trouble with google earth in xubuntu, my video card is INTEL 915 [22:49] unop_> Yes..i have ask in the related chan but now 1 replying there.

Grazie! [22:50] cafaro, That is why I suggest waiting [22:50] okay [22:50] i already downloaded FF2 [22:50] ejer: G-force 8500GT 512MB [22:50] im so horny :) [22:50] now i need to install it [22:50] !guidelines | Double [22:50] Double: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [22:50] does anybody know how to use the command fsck to fix ntfs ? [22:50] cafaro, Have you finished downloading it yet? [22:51] yes [22:51] ubuntu, i'd suggest using window's own tools [22:51] ubuntu, There is none AFIK [22:51] untarred it too already now [22:51] danielski_pl: can you paste your xorg.conf [22:51] sorry [22:51] ubuntu, you must be advised that ntfs support is not 100% reliable and you can do irrepairable damage [22:51] windows doesn,t start anymore, I have bad sectors [22:51] cafaro, Ok, now you can just drag the script named "firefox" to your top panel and you should be able to start it from there [22:52] Hello - there are better channels for this but ubuntu rocks so I am here. Can anyone offer advice on selecting and moving more than one text box in OpenOffice Writer. [22:52] cafaro, ( This is how I have FF3 Beta installed on my machine ) [22:52] ubuntu, you should ask the guys in ##windows on howto perform recovery on that drive === andrew___ is now known as UKHack [22:52] ejer: where do i find that file? [22:52] but I have just ubuntu live cd [22:52] danielski_pl: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [22:53] all I see is my sata /sdc but no ide /hd** what ever [22:53] in the install of ubuntu [22:53] should i run it in the terminal or what? Jordan_U ? [22:53] ubuntu, read my last-but-one post -- you can do damage to your NTFS partition with an ubuntu CD [22:53] gop, try a sudo fdisk -l , that will show all disks seen by the system and where they are seen at., [22:54] yea I see all /sd [22:54] you mean the shell script? Jordan_U [22:54] that is /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc [22:54] ejer: http://pastebin.com/m308e049b [22:54] but not the ide disk [22:54] ok but the hd is already dead [22:54] gop, ubuntu does not use hd* devices - all drives are controlled via the SATA module [22:54] so I can't lose anything at this stage [22:54] cafaro, Yes === reZo_ is now known as reZo [22:54] what is wrong with ubuntu? whenever i try to copy/paste text i get only this: ŸŸ [22:55] Hello [22:55] gop, now a days - ide drives also show up as sd## on many ystems. [22:55] hi everyone, my logoff, shutdown, reboot icons disappeared...i can't find the key in gconf to enable again...someone can help? [22:55] ubuntu, just because windows fails to boot, does not mean the drive is dead -- if you are _not_ bothered with the contents on the disk, you can just wipe the partition off and start from scratch [22:55] arooni-mobile: are you running a VM by any chance? [22:55] Jordan_U: when i click on the script, my old FF starts again..

[22:56] ejer, do i have to re-download from their site [22:56] arooni-mobile: you should have followed their info to add a repo, if not, grab newer package from their site [22:56] reZo, perhaps [22:57] it worked thanks [22:57] cafaro, np, when 8.04 is released you should be able to upgrade to it directly and simply remove the firefox directory to uninstall it [22:58] hello simple question: what program do I use to print two copies of the same picture on page [22:58] without making a second file as that is getting tidious [22:58] anyone know how I can configure buntu to work with my 32" crt monitor? All I can get out of it is 640 resolution I'd like 8x600 or 1024x768 preferrably. I got my tv hooked uop to my atix1300 via s-video, but it doesn't recognize the tv monitor... [22:58] ok [22:58] whats the terminal command to create a file [22:58] touch filename [22:58] Jordan_U: i was just checking the updates page, it suggests you can't upgrade from dapper > gutsy for instance.. do you know if that is true? [22:58] jack-desktop: touch filename [22:58] amenado, only touch? [22:58] cafaro, And again, if you want to create a shortcut to FF2 you can drag the "firefox" script into your gnome-panel [22:58] you know when the new version of Ubuntu will come out, Jordan_U ? [22:58] I'm having a problem getting my broadcom wireless device working (it's a BCM4315). I've followed several guides, including the ones on the Ubuntu docs and forums, but no luck. If anyone could take some time and help me, I can run through the steps I've already gone through to get the error messages again... [22:58] there isnt another cmd? [22:58] nice one amenado [22:58] yes already done that :) [22:59] Redhammer_the_Ol, iirc, you can configure such a thing in the printer properties - i dont know the exact procedure as i dont use gnome [22:59] jack-desktop vim filename [22:59] and then save it [22:59] jack-desktop: echo "content" > filename [22:59] Hello, I used apt-build to make a number of packages, and now they're coming up on upgrade-manager as outdated, even though I know they're fine. is there any way I can implement package pinning for my apt-build repository above the normal ones, but below security and updates? [22:59] cafaro, April [22:59] jack-desktop, echo>filename [22:59] i've beent rying to use touch and i'm pretty sure theres another one that actually creates files in directories not made yet [22:59] Or rather, not error messages, but specific problems. [22:59] Can anyone PM me and help a bit with mounting an SD card, i can't seem to get it to work..........? [22:59] what is the name of the kernel package that u-server uses? [22:59] er, my apt is coming up with a "-f install" problem, however, it's trying to remove a lot of packages i want. this was caused by me attempting to install global-menu from before, how do i remove the broken packages which have older dependncies? [23:00] like, remove the -f install for gtk2-engines-pixbuf etc? [23:00] i installed kubuntu-desktop and decided i don't like it... is there a proper way to remove it? [23:00] jack-desktop, you have to use mkdir to create the dir [23:00] benzss: apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop --purge [23:00] amenado, i thought there was a command and a option like "-p" to create the file in non existing directiores [23:00] ciao [23:01] anyone tried installing ubuntu on an eepc? I'm tempted to try [23:01] Support request for anyone thats willing to help me out for a couple of minutes.... [23:01] scusate mi servirebbe un po di aiuto === solidliquid is now known as solid_liq [23:01] Domino: works great! [23:01] ejer, For him to upgrade to Gutsy now he would have to first upgrade to edgy, then feisty ( with any upgrade problems that people experienced with those releases ) if he waits until 8.04 is out he can upgrade directly since it is an LTS release ( you should be able to upgrade directly from one LTS release, like dapper, to the next without going through the intermediate releases ) === abitlater is now known as abitlater_ [23:01] jack-desktop, mkdir -p ~username/dirdontexist/newfile [23:01] jack-desktop, you mean mkdir -- mkdir -p /path/to/non/existant/directory [23:01] Hello Jack_Sparrow [23:01] Jordan_U: i know you should be able to, but page says no [23:01] jack-desktop, but that doesnt create a file -- it just creates a directory [23:02] Hello [23:02] !it | salentino [23:02] ejer, What do you mean?

[23:02] i thought i remembered a cmd that did both, my bad. [23:02] Jordan_U: where do you see you can upgrade from dapper > feisty even? [23:02] really? Including package manager? How about disk space? And drivers for the eepc? Was it flawless switching, or did you run into any hiccups? [23:02] http://packages.ubuntu.com is timing out. is there a US mirror ?

[23:05] how do i install steam under wine? [23:05] Jordan_U: I think I used envy to install the driver. [23:05] !appdb | voice [23:05] voice: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [23:05] I was thinking of getting the source from nvidia and compiling it manually though [23:05] fantum13: Do you have any ideas? [23:06] generalj_, Then you will need to use envy again any time there is a kernel update ( envy is not recommended BTW ) [23:06] is it possible that my compiz settings that I change in the compizconfig settings manager aren't taking effect because I am passing parameters to compiz about which plugins to enable at load time? [23:06] lufis: If you were using it for p2p, I was going to suggest you use the plugin that has the same functionality in Deluge. That's the reason I've never used moblock. [23:06] I don't know why, but my compiz settings are occasionally being erased [23:06] and smart windows, for example [23:06] half life 2 looks pretty good on wine [23:06] smart window placement [23:06] Jordan_U: should I just uninstall it, then compile the driver from the source from nvidia website? [23:06] generalj_, That will work also, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual [23:06] gets re-enabled [23:06] voice: have you downloaded teh steam.msi? [23:06] fantum13: i would prefer a system-wide solution... but unfortunately moblock is blocking http traffic too [23:07] generalj_, Yes. [23:07] lufis: You could try using Firestarter and blocking the hosts you want there.

[23:26] usmc138: after you install/compile from a tar file the app is installed to a predetermined dir. you may then remove the package if you wish but make sure you verify that the app is installed [23:26] is there something like ntfsrescue?

[23:33] macabro22: what drivers did you install [23:33] how big is it? [23:33] 1.7 gig [23:33] So, I have an ATI card, using the restricted fglrx driver, with XGL/CF. For some reason, my xkb settings are defaulting to the pc101 configuration when xgl starts. I have attempted to manually set the xkb options to pc105, via the xorg.conf and the CLI, but neither work. I can paste the output of the error when I try to set it manually if you would like. Does anyone know how I can alleviate this problem? [23:33] soldats: 1.0.15 [23:33] does it say it's big enought? [23:34] It doesn't, but it doesnt say its not [23:34] i don't quite know xubuntu reqirements [23:34] jumpkic1, seems to be for the last 2-3 hours [23:34] does anyone have a guide on installing cupsys on Ubuntu server? [23:34] taxi driver [23:34] xubuntu requirement are a bit smaller than ubuntu [23:34] unop__: that's what I thought... I tried it from work and just tried it again from home [23:34] no luck from either place [23:35] anyone? [23:35] http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/5258/1000468uv9.jpg Is what im looking at right now [23:35] jumpkic1, probably down for maintainence [23:35] how do i make an entire backup copy of an ntfs partition? [23:36] can anyone help me please setting dhcp correctly? [23:36] greetings all. I'm getting the "$MFTMirr does not match $MFT" error on my NTFS partition. Can anyone help, pse? [23:36] ulaf, there are some ntfs tools that can do that. [23:36] client [23:36] are you configure wireless 802.11 N standart for Linux? [23:36] ulaf, tar cjvf mybackup.tbz /path/to/mountpoint [23:36] !samba [23:36] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[23:36] ulaf, never used them bit saw them mentioned in a magazine artical just today [23:37] lol [23:37] ulaf, you probably also want to prefix that with sudo [23:37] !find ntfsbackup [23:37] I'm using wired network, admtek card [23:37] does anybody know how can i get to the spanish ubuntu chats?? [23:37] Package/file ntfsbackup does not exist in gutsy [23:37] pacoman, /join #ubuntu-es [23:37] unop__: i'm on a windows OS, can't do tar cjvf [23:37] use window cause the space is betta [23:37] giggles, that's usually because you didn't shut windows down properly [23:37] ok [23:37] is there a way to remove the shadow under the taskbar in gusty / gnome when you have compiz full features enabled? [23:37] thanks [23:38] unop_ you're spot on (stupid me). How do I fix? [23:38] ulaf, you can use ntbackup.exe then :) more on that in ##windows or start->help->ntbackup [23:38] macabro22: hey ask your question again but do it in full detail. i really have no clue other than making sure alsa is selected and make sure all the volumes arent muted. if nothing else it may be better to go back to the older driver [23:38] http://disgust.myminicity.com/ [23:38] http://disgust.myminicity.com/ [23:38] http://disgust.myminicity.com/ [23:38] http://disgust.myminicity.com/ [23:38] http://disgust.myminicity.com/ [23:38] http://disgust.myminicity.com/ [23:38] http://disgust.myminicity.com/ [23:38] http://disgust.myminicity.com/ [23:38] http://disgust.myminicity.com/ [23:38] minicity4071: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[23:39] <__mikem> What the crap was that [23:39] spam [23:39] !feedthetroll [23:39] stupid spamers [23:39] The above mess was caused by someone who thought it was funny (they're gone now). Please ignore it completely, since discussing it and making a fuss will only make them think they've reached their "fun" goal. [23:39] giggles, best thing (IMHO) is bootback up into windows and shut it down again -- but you can also use ntfsfix from the package ntfsprogs [23:39] >.> [23:39] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. === soldats is now known as intoccabile [23:40] How do I tell what kind of filesystem I have ie ext2,ext3 [23:40] any hummans? [23:40] Stepdir, file -s /dev/sdXX [23:40] I've been expriencing some unusually long load times to gdm recently (i.e. greater than 5 minutes), does anyone know what might be the cause? [23:41] sorr this is A.I. channel ha¬ha [23:41] enjoy [23:41] unop_ I can't access Windows (Vista): will not boot. How do I run ntfsfix? I think I have the package installed but need to be pointed in the right direction. [23:42] unop_ I get - no such file or directory [23:42] I compiled a few packages that commonly cause bottlenecks on my system with apt-build, and now update manager wants to erase them all. How can I stop this? [23:42] giggles, you need to know which device the windows partition is e.g. /dev/sdXX -- sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdXX [23:42] OK.. so I'm goin' nuts... I've seen it before but I can't for the LIFE of me find where I turn off the drive icons on my desktop... like it showing sda1 and what's in the cdrom.... anyone remember where this is at??? [23:42] Stepdir, replace sdXX there with your own device :) [23:43] Stepdir, you can also use this command (albeit a little unreliable) - sudo fdisk -l [23:43] !pinning > fantum13 (fantum13, see the private message from Ubotu) [23:43] unop_ ok, let me give that a go. watch this space. [23:43] hey how come i dont have a linux-image for k7 or better processors in synaptic [23:43] I need to enable NAT on my desktop... how would I do this? [23:43] !generic > panfist (panfist, see the private message from Ubotu) [23:43] !smp | panfist [23:43] panfist: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed) [23:43] !nat [23:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about nat - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:44] LjL: I've read that page, the instructions on it are deprecated and the links are old also [23:44] panfist, optimisations are loaded on the fly, its just as good. [23:44] thanks [23:45] soldats: hang on.. it seems i compiled the wrong driver [23:45] LjL: Even after setting up the preferences file here (http://pastebin.com/m2c4774d0) update manager still wants to "update" them. [23:46] unop_ I ran the ntfsfix and it says the partition was performed successfully. How do I check? [23:47] unop__ I get Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data (needs journal recovery) - What is the needs journal recovery about? [23:47] giggles, you can try mounting the device -- sudo mount /dev/sdXX /media/ntfs [23:47] LjL: Also, no matter what I do, the output of apt-cache policy remains the same. [23:48] Stepdir, it usually means the ext3 journal is corrupt and needs repairing [23:49] well, that DCC crap was a bit of an arsing. [23:50] how can i know what's the default text reader on my box ? [23:50] Grab: its probably gedit [23:51] Stepdir, i dont have an ext3 filesystem to test this on - but this command should probably do the trick - sudo tune2fs -f -j /dev/sdXX [23:51] i'm trying to upgrade to 7.10 from 7.04 and after update manager downloads the update tool it begins preparing the upgrade and then it just disappears [23:51] / test [23:51] anyone have any idea why? [23:51] How do I get SquashFS working? I'm trying to make a custom Live CD, but when I try to mount the SquashFS image, it tells me "mount: unknown filesystem type 'squashfs'" [23:51] hey anybody know of a good racing game for ubuntu with an oline mode and need for speed ish freeride [23:51] noncomercial gpl [23:52] anybody? [23:52] unop_ I get a "failed to access mountpoint...: no such file or directory exists, FUSE mount point creation failed. Unmounting /dev/sda2 (SW_Preload). I have ntfs Configuration Tool if you think that should help? [23:52] !games | exneo [23:52] exneo: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [23:52] ubuntu update is asking me to install a bunch of kernel headers/image related stuff - this will not replace my existing kernel/config will it (ie, it can sit next to it)? [23:52] i'm having problems gettin my Linksys WPC11 PCMCIA card working in ubuntu [23:52] !games [23:52] I tried loading the module, but it says there isn't one, and when I look under 'File Systems' in the kernel configurator, I can't find anything about SqushFS. [23:52] join/ [23:52] when i try to run some games in fullscreen the monitor says "not signal detected" how to solve? [23:53] giggles, errm -- sorry, /media/ntfs needs to be created first - try this command - sudo sh -c "mkdir -p /media/ntfs; mount /dev/sda2 /media/ntfs" [23:53] or does anyone know where else i could ask about this? [23:53] Hey guys I have an issue all my movie players aren't displaying video as they should, its all laggy .. and it didn't used to be like this. [23:53] Could I be missing some codec or? [23:53] fantum13: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/42178 [23:54] how do i edit grub? [23:54] LjL: Why would apt-cache policy not show the changed priorities, though? [23:54] !grub [23:54] 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 [23:55] fantum13: not a clue [23:55] unop__ It say it already has a journal. I'm guessing that it is not a problem. I was asking because I just compiled a kernel, and it said it could not mount the filesystem. [23:55] Does anyone happen to know how to make Alt+Space work for Katapult in Gnome? Ugh I'm so sick of gnome not listening to me. I wish that it did things my way for once. I set the shortcut right in Katapult, but gnome must have it claimed elsewhere because it still does something silly like bring up a menu when I press it :( [23:55] grubs showing vista twice, one is from the restore partition and loads up with a big fat error [23:55] Stepdir, if you just compiled a kernel, it's likely that you didn't include ext3 support [23:55] broken__: If running ati and compisite is not set to disable in xorg, you get jerky video [23:56] ello [23:56] Jack_Sparrow, yea jerky is exactly how I'd describe it. [23:56] Stepdir, although, it's hard to say what the problem is without a full error report [23:56] unop_ I get "mount failed: device or resource busy". [23:56] broken__: Are you running ati card [23:56] Jack_Sparrow, so what must I do? Yes ati. [23:56] citm: in a terminal type sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and comment out the wrong vista [23:56] anyone have 6715s ? [23:57] broken__: Look at your xorg option " composite make sure it is set to disable [23:57] giggles, hmm, perhaps the device is already mounted -- check to see, in nautilus - Go -> Computer [23:57] argh, whenever a kernel is updated, it always sets my grub config to boot from (hd1,0) and not (hd0,0) like it should be.. (i can manually fix it, but i have to do this after every kernel update..) [23:57] unop__ I checked that. It is compiled in. :( I'm at a loss. There was not much. Just that on boot. didn't make it very far. [23:57] broken__: Cant guarantee that is the problem, but that is one fix I know about [23:57] is compiz-fusion in any ubuntu repository? [23:57] Jack_Sparrow, well I have "Section Extensions " Option "Compostite" "0" [23:58] excitatory: in your /boot/grub/menu.lst at the top you should have a list of # options you need to read down and there should be a place to change the auto config root [23:58] unop_OK, but what's nautilus? (do I need to download it?) [23:58] what is the command to show what is currently mounted? [23:58] excitatory: among other things [23:58] Hello everyone [23:58] Rufus_, Yes, in fact parts of it are installed by default in 7.10 [23:58] broken__: set it to Option "Composite" "disable" [23:58] giggles, nautilus is your file explorer in gnome :) [23:58] panfist, mount [23:58] Jordan_U, i want to update to the latest version [23:59] If using 6715s; "Install from 64 bit version of Ubuntu Gutsy, even if you have 32 bit Sempron version, 32 bit Ubuntus do not work on this one." Anyone here that can confirm that ? [23:59] Anyone want a free blog, for there ubuntu stuff? or anything? [23:59] unop__ I was trying to compile a non initrd kernel. I may be related to that. [23:59] Jack_Sparrow, now just exit the xserver and log back in? [23:59] what is it under? [23:59] compiz-kde? [23:59] Stepdir, it's also probable that ext2 support was included but not ext3 -- could explain the journalling issues [23:59] broken__: Yes, I think you need to restart to reset things.. [23:59] Very well, I"ll be back.
