None o fthe kernels, or recovery modes work. I know a solution would be to run fsck but I cant even load from a liveCD [00:09] hi noolness [00:09] Problem with wireless - need help! [00:09] bod_: because codec and dsp models are described by hex codecs, not generally human-friendly strings. [00:09] alecwh: I think it miht instell man pages [00:09] anyone know of a repository that keeps the latest nvidia drivers around prepackaged so i can be lazy? [00:09] *might install [00:09] bod_: sorry, hex strings* [00:09] the nvidia drivers that come with ubuntu appear to be as old as the hills [00:09] metguru, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [00:09] bod_: Yes, the MCP51 part is the identifier there [00:09] Starnestommy: how would I access documentation, say, for ceil()?

[00:10] yaser: thanks a million [00:10] unfortunately the "MCP51" is not descriptive [00:10] alecwh: man ceil? [00:10] hi, is there any recommended greylisting program? (sendmail) [00:10] metguru, i think you're looking for "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" :) [00:10] crimsun, if i look at my asoundconf list it shows capital letters and numbers, the same length as his MCP51 why does his asoundconf list show the word NVidia?

[00:11] noolness: look for packages with nvidia in their name and see what the highest versioned one is. If it is higher than the version you're using then perhaps best to leave it as is [00:11] how do i change the printer quality for my hp psc 750 in ubuntu gutsy?

[00:24] Dr_willis: how do i go about that, and what is compiz? [00:24] the wireless router works okay as I am connecting to it as we speak via a Mac PC.

It means there's more chance someone's been able to write a driver [00:31] hello everybody [00:31] true [00:32] singlesun, this is not the best answer but you should find it from "dmesg" where system detects it the first time :) [00:32] DescentIntoMadne: Did you try iwlist eth1 scan [00:32] does anyone use the OKI B4100 printer?

[01:31] raichlea, you'll have to register with the network to join then , not a problem type /msg nickserv help register and follow the instructions [01:32] wil_: it isn't the extension that matters...the first line has to be #!/bin/sh [01:32] nickrud: I didnt know... was just making sure I had everything I would need :) [01:32] wil_: linux doesn't use extensions like that; you would type chmod u+x /path/to/file to make it executable [01:32] Hi Jack_Sparrow :) All threads pointed to the Preference menu ... it's in Admin/Login Windows :) [01:32] wil_: YEp, they have a room that can help you with just about anything [01:32] pelo: thx [01:32] wil_: change it to an executable file with the chmod command [01:32] Login Window Preferences* [01:32] :S lol, I like linux, but finding everything so confusing! [01:33] _Marek_: bcm94311mgc [01:33] wil_: You didnt understand windows at first either.. === reconnect is now known as recon [01:33] <_Marek_> nickrud, which revision? [01:33] Jack_Sparrow how about you find another room to run people out of [01:33] _Marek_: not listed in lspci, I'll take a look at lshw [01:33] maximilion: Glad you got it.... [01:33] wil_, you'll get use to it [01:33] _Marek_: doh, rev 1 [01:33] lol... I know, but now that I do, it makes it a lot harder to migrate my knowledge to linux! [01:33] wil_: then, run the script by typing the path and file name, or " ./filename " instead. Most people use .sh as a common script "file extension", although it is unnecessary, technically. [01:33] th0r: PM please [01:34] hi - i have a huge problem with ubuntu. it froze and upon restart it threw out "Error 16: inconsistent filesystem". None o fthe kernels, or recovery modes work. I know a solution would be to run fsck but I cant even load from a liveCD [01:34] <_Marek_> nickrud, so it seems we just need to install 2.6.24 to gain native support [01:34] Sunman: why can you not boot from a liveCD ? [01:34] _Marek_: I'm fine with using a blob for now, to maintain kernel compatiblitiy [01:34] seany: Hey, you there? I setup http://dreamsindigital.org/logs [01:34] desertc: I have no idea. it loads for a while and then just gives me a blinking cursor [01:35] Jack_Sparrow: I now have a decent OSX Tiger style going... will perfect it tomorrow :) [01:35] <_Marek_> nickrud, i wonder if there is any way to install 2.6.24 from source while preserving most settings from default gutsy 2.6.22 and then have it thrown out if a newer kernel arrives [01:35] Sunman, consider this may be hardware related [01:35] It contains dmesg, kern, syslog, messages, debug, and mii-tool spew [01:35] Tredje0ye: reading... [01:35] Sunman: then it is most likely a hardware issue, since the liveCD does not touch your hard drive installation [01:35] !info kernel-package | _Marek_ [01:35] _marek_: kernel-package (source: kernel-package): A utility for building Linux kernel related Debian packages.. In component main, is optional. Version 11.001 (gutsy), package size 498 kB, installed size 2192 kB [01:35] i can't compilate with gcc (directory not found), but i have already installed build-essential. Any suggestion? [01:35] seany: tnx ^^;; [01:35] when i try to update, it say hash mismatch [01:36] ok, I put the #!/bin/sh as the first line... renamed it to .sh, and typed chmod u+x normal.sh whilst in the correct directory.... it does a new line with no feedback. when I run the .sh file, it opens in archive manager and comes up with a error :( [01:36] Tredje0ye: you need to change the permissions on those fles [01:36] what hardware issue would cause such an error? [01:36] fred9, search for gcc and install any -dev related packages [01:36] <_Marek_> nickrud, thanks :) [01:36] wil_: need to run it from the command line interface (terminal) to see the output === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:36] Pelo thanks, i'll try that [01:37] wil_: you don't need #!/bin/sh as the first line, by the way, nor renaming with .sh [01:37] seany will d [01:37] desertc: ahh :( just trying to follow advice [01:37] wil_: how did you run the file? ./ in the same dir is good [01:37] seany: Done ^^;; [01:38] wil_: good advice, but I'm just tryiing to make it easy for you to get it right [01:38] Anyone had this error while playing video: No accelerated IMDCT transform found [01:38] Does anyone know how to set up a midi keyboard with ams? [01:38] desertc, it is just one command! I just want to run it by double clicking.... it would be quicker for me to type the command than have to go to console and do that every time :( [01:38] wil_: Are you in a terminal when you run this script, or are you trying to double click it? [01:38] broken__, have you tried searching the repos for IMDCT ? [01:39] Yea. [01:39] I can't actually find anything on the internet really about it. [01:39] has anyone ever been able to create a grub bootdisk from within live ubuntu? [01:39] desertc, I want to run one command that does metacity --replace and one that does compiz --replace so I can quickly enable and disable it whilst keeping all my settings because I have a old windows app that I need for work that is not compatible with it... but I dont want to get rid of compiz! I love it [01:39] nickrud: I found the java file, it was in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.03/bin/java is there a way to alias that so I don't have to type that every time? [01:39] Hi. I'm trying to find where kde saves it's file assoctiations. Anyone can help. I'm trying to follow a link in a kde app and it opens the php files wiith quante [01:39] quanta* [01:39] wil_: ah - there we go. well, go into a command prompt and see what the error is [01:40] sorry, I should say Terminal CLI, not command prompt. [01:40] prodigel,you might want to ask in #kde or #kubuntu [01:41] also I'm using gnome as my gdm [01:41] desertc, I went to terminal and when I type normal.sh it just says command not found :( [01:41] * Pelo glares at desertc for using MS terminology in this channel [01:41] wil_: type " ./normal.sh " like I said before [01:41] desertc, I know I can just type compiz --replace, but I really want to have it as a desktop icon I can just click on... it is a learning experience, but annoying [01:41] raichlea: if you have the update-alternatives set properly, you end up with /usr/bin/java pointing at /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java [01:41] hey does anyone know how to get the default ubuntu splash installed? [01:41] would anyone care to help me [01:41] desertc, sorry, I missed that one... ok that works fine.... but how do I do that from a icon? [01:42] raichlea: which is a link to the one you speak of [01:42] desertc: HE can just create a launcher with that and have an icin on his desktop right [01:42] What is beagled-helper? It is always loading my CPU To the max when I look at HTOP [01:42] nickrud: how do set the update-alternatives? [01:42] Josep1: send me a keyboard ;P [01:42] Jack_Sparrow: yep [01:43] broken__, its a search indexer. It has a low priority though so won't affect other applications. [01:43] hi [01:43] raichlea: sudo update-alternatives --config java , and press the number on the same line as the sun-java6 [01:43] PriceChild, I don't know about its' using up 90% cpu. [01:43] after doing chmod, both script files run perfectly well doing ./name.sh I just need to know how I can click on them! [01:43] hi [01:43] also, what does ./ actually mean? [01:43] wil_: right click your desktop... create launcher [01:43] can you connect an ipod touch just to charge the battery to a linux box? [01:43] broken__, it will only use cpu if nothing else needs it [01:44] My temps have risen as if they are at max load. [01:44] i'm compilign something and i get this error: configure: error: Missing header file ffmpeg/avcodec.h. [01:44] how can i fix it? [01:44] wil_: it means the current directory ( . ) menas current directory more accurately [01:44] (dev packages are isntalled) [01:44] !build-essential [01:44] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [01:44] PriceChild, could I remove it from ym system? [01:44] yes [01:44] Has anyone been able to create a grub bootdisk from within a live distro of ubuntu? [01:44] wil_: okay, try this now: right click on your GNOME Panel (with the menu), and do Add to Panel, then click on Create Launcher [01:45] nickrud: seems to have worked, thanks [01:45] broken__: but before you do that, you might want to read up on nice , so you can see why the fact it's using 90% isn't really relevant [01:45] I'm having trouble with my reiserfs drive. reiserfsck says it's a hardware issue and tells me to buy a new drive, but I would really like to save my data. Is this possible? [01:45] nickrud, read up on nice? [01:45] wil_: then type in the full name of the script, " /home/blahyouruser/normal.sh " and you might have to run it as Type "Application in Terminal" [01:46] Jack_Sparrow, thanx for the link [01:46] Tredje0ye: have you messed with "ethtool -K eth0 tso off" or a variant ? [01:46] nickrud: do you know how to setup a midi keyboard with ams or rosegarden? [01:46] desertc, I clicked on browse, found it and it works fine! [01:46] Ward1983: np [01:46] thanks, that is brilliant! [01:46] Josep1: set it as recording device [01:46] broken__: it's a way to tell an app "As long as nothing else wants to use the cpu, you can use as much of it as you like, but as soon as another app wants to do something you WILL yield up the cycles" [01:46] wil_: see you around! [01:46] k, lemme look [01:46] Jack_Sparrow, i did "sudo apt-get build-dep packagename" and its downloading about 50megs lol [01:46] desertc, I have to say.... and dont hate me... that is the one thing so far I still like about windows.... create a file, call it .bat and run!.... but I wouldnt go back for anything! [01:46] seany: No [01:47] wil_: Welcome to ubuntu.. [01:47] Ward1983: Yep [01:47] Josep1: nope, but I'd like to try :) [01:47] Josep1: in Studio -> manage MIDI devices or sth. [01:47] wil_: it's called freedom - you'll learn to like it ;-) [01:47] thanks so much! [01:47] nickrud, why can't programs just remain dormant if not being used? [01:47] I've never used the search once. [01:47] MGrunde: Perhaps try irc://irc.oftc.net/#reiser4 [01:47] Hmm, How do I get 1 package and not the dependencies using atp-get/ [01:48] Hello, everyone! [01:48] broken__: it's a daemon, it does stuff in the background. That's the whole point of a multitasking os, more than one app can run at a time. [01:48] Please, give me advice - HowTo fix width of the "Name" column ib Nautilus? [01:48] seany: On the last install I tried using it tho cause I've been dealing with this prob for a couple of weeks now ^^;; [01:48] tinman, you won't be able to use the package if you don'T get it's dependencies [01:48] tinman: why would you want to do that? [01:48] begemo1, not sure you can [01:48] I am on a slow connection and i will need to get them seperately [01:48] Really?? :( [01:48] Tredje0ye: what about adding pci=noapci? [01:48] else, I will disconnect before I get all of them [01:49] hello_ im having gdm problems...(it will not load)its been working before just fine. where do i check first??????? [01:49] broken__: another way to look at it is if your processor is doing nothing, it's wasting time. Find something for it to do when nothing else needs it [01:49] begemo1, you can always try and look in gconf-editor under app/nautilus [01:49] scurry7: log files [01:49] nickrud, what I don't like is my cpu temps being as high as they are on max load. [01:49] I have managed to get midi-out, but recording is being tricky in rosegarden [01:49] tinman: If you have a friend with broadband you can get them from there and move them over [01:49] tinman: Use instead trickle to allot whatever bandwidth you care to to the apt-get process etc [01:49] wpk: what do you mean Studio? [01:49] does any one know a command to open the cd/dvd drive??? the botton isnt working. [01:50] Pelo: Oh, lock - is best idea ! ! ! Many thanks, Pelo! [01:50] broken__: then true, you can go to system->prefs->session and turn off the tracker. It won't run at the next login [01:50] Jack_Sparrow: friends don't even have connection :] [01:50] francisco: use a paperclip [01:50] bazhang: you there? [01:50] francisco: unmount the drive first [01:50] tinman: Just trying to offer a suggestion [01:50] genii: Thank you [01:50] paperclip? [01:50] nickrud, thanks. [01:50] genii: th problem is not bandwidth, i will disconnect at certain times (weird internet packlage) [01:51] Jack_Sparrow: k [01:51] francisco: unmount the drive first - the drive won't open when the disk is mounted [01:51] Assuming I've got a bunch of parallel directories with files in them and hardlinks across the directories. If I run rsync -A on one the directories seperately does it still maintain the hardlinks? [01:51] wpk: when I hit record, a metronome starts on my keyboard [01:51] ok ill unmount [01:51] anyone know how to fix this: Couldn't load Perl module Image::Magick. Images will be skipped [01:51] Tredje0ye: i mean adding pci=noapci to your kernel boot options and see what happens [01:51] francisco: if all else fails, try sudo eject [01:51] For some reason after a reboot i've lost access to my sound card, is there a way to autodetect/install it? [01:51] seany: hmm.. that sounds like it just might work [01:52] sorry to keep bothering you guys. for some reason after a few reboots the livecd worked. how do i mount my hd and how do i run fsck just on that mounted hd. [01:52] hi guys [01:52] seany: cause I remember having a similar option enabled [01:52] Tredje0ye: i would make sure you know how to boot into single user mode though [01:52] francisco: right click on the disk icon on your desktop, or do it from Nautilus [01:52] hey, what is the very small ubuntu called? i think i saw an iso which was around 10mb big? :s [01:52] Hi [01:52] Tredje0ye: incase you get a panic and need to fix something :-p [01:52] how do i download kde for ubuntu? [01:52] ok i got it [01:52] sveakex: That is the mini.iso [01:52] hi [01:52] Sunman: first, you don't run fsck on a mounted drive. Second, sudo fsck /dev/ [01:52] it wouldent let me unmount [01:52] is there something like My Screen Recorder Pro for Ubuntu? [01:52] but [01:52] its apt-get install kde right? [01:52] Odd-rationale: thanks [01:52] sudo eject worked [01:52] putnum: just kde or the kubuntu-desktop [01:53] ;) [01:53] k [01:53] thanx guys [01:53] Sunman, opening gparted and and selecting your hdd should automaticaly mount all available partitons [01:53] if there is a problem with ubuntu does that mean the whole OS is done? [01:53] Can someone tell me, when exactly the .profile file is interpreted? I am trying to set the locale-variables on a per-user basis, but I always end up with the system defaults, even when I reboot the machine! [01:53] sveakex: Basically, it was only the nesceary packages to boot. All the rest ~600 mb is download off the net when you install [01:53] nickrud: then how do i run fsck without mounting it? [01:53] oh ok [01:53] i'm looking for a bittorrent tracker program - can't find one with google... is there any ubuntu/debian package of a good tracker? (no it is not for illegal stuff, i need it to offer a alternative download source on my hp) [01:53] oboy03, no, what is the problem ? [01:53] seany: ^^ Well I'm green, so I got the LiveCD on backup incase "OMZG! I fudged the setup", which is standard with greenhorns ^^ [01:53] oboy03: almost never [01:53] y'know like in windows something you installed went wrong you got to reformat your whole pc [01:53] francisco: What did it say when it would not let you unmount?? that's unnecessary to do sudo just to change disks! [01:53] oboy03, i imagine it depends on the exact problem [01:54] oboy03, you rarely need to do a reformat.. If you follow proper procedure [01:54] it dint say anything.. just wouldent work [01:54] well, I don't know how, put I figured it out, thanks everyone [01:54] oboy03, you can reformat just the windows partition you do not need to reformat the whole hdd, [01:54] bec yesterday i was having problems with updates wihich forced me to reformat ubuntu [01:54] oic [01:54] Tredje0ye: well, you shouldn't need to reinstall or anything, if you screw up you can just boot into a different mode with out that boot flag and you should be good [01:54] sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop doesn't work [01:54] tinman: The problem is whatever app needs the dependencies installed before itself so that all the groundwork is laid for it to operate. There is no real way to separate out the dependencies using apt-get or sohe/apt/archives. But what might work is to get a list of the dependencies find their .deb packagenames and then use perhaps wget or ftp or whatever to download them separately at other times into /var/cac [01:54] oboy03, i imagine there was some easier fix. [01:54] so that means i still dont know how to troubleshoot :) [01:54] and btw is there any ubuntu-feed-browser? [01:54] into /var/cache/apt/archives [01:54] says couldn't find package [01:54] any have expirience with creating a grub bootdisk in ubuntu live? [01:54] I see [01:54] bah [01:54] oboy03: Did you just end up with a blank screen or something like that [01:55] anyone have anything to do about solving this error when i try to run skencil? http://pastie.caboo.se/149049 [01:55] no [01:55] i hate synaptic.. [01:55] genii: i am actually trying to get mysql server and not the client, and i think it works without the client [01:55] (crossfire-talk) [01:55] oboy03: but you have made the first step, reinstall is the last resort :) [01:55] is there a command that reverses line characters?, something like: linux -> xunil [01:55] !find recorder [01:55] Found: ksimus-datarecorder, libhttp-recorder-perl, sound-recorder [01:55] i can still see my desktop but some programs are now missing [01:55] seany: Alright, will try that boot option on next boot. [01:55] i mean missing yesterday [01:55] now i have a fresh install [01:56] chuy_max, i recall a 'tac' command/script ages ago :) [01:56] hi guys [01:56] chuy_max, tac being the reverse of cat. :) [01:56] and hope i encounter no problem this time [01:56] Tredje0ye: after that i might start messing with fixing autonegotion settings [01:56] !hi |joelito [01:56] joelito: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [01:56] hey, im a bit of an ubuntu n00b but i just have a quick question i was hoping someone could answer [01:56] but having problems is good too, you get experience right? [01:56] the bt-tracker should have an console 'interface' [01:56] !locale [01:56] To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [01:56] maybe seeing if you could fix the speed of the other port to something specific and seeing what happens [01:57] does anybody know how to get the sd card reader to be recognized in gusty [01:57] i downloaded the 7.10 gutsy gibbon iso and burnt to disc, im trying to run it as a live disc. however, when i try, it appears to be loading for a while then just sits there. also, caps lock and scroll lock flash in synch with each other. [01:57] so reformat solution here in linux is rarer than in windows? [01:57] oboy03: It's generally a learning experience in Linux when you have problems, whereas I always end up forgetting some check-box in other operating systems [01:57] Glossy P theme is called GTK2-Glossy P: Do I need to install something via Synaptic? (7.10) [01:58] I need a color picker [01:58] ChrisHarding_-> its slow so just wait longer [01:58] does any one know how to fix this: You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "DVD_VIDEO". [01:58] lilg111111: it should be working out of the box [01:58] like those that uses your mouse pointer to know the rgb color [01:58] Dr_willis, naaa, that reverses the lines, not the characters, I just found it :D, it's rev [01:58] !pastebin [01:58] tinman: If it says the client is a dependency then they aren't fibbing. The server needs some files or whatever in the client package as a prerequisite to operate [01:58] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [01:58] lilg111111: connect, put card inside [01:58] Joelito: gcolor2 [01:58] really? is that really it? [01:58] thanks! [01:58] nickrud: gcolor2? [01:58] Odd-rationale: i don't seem to find it anywhere? :s [01:58] wpk, i have the sd card in the slot [01:58] the mini.iso [01:59] Joelito: yes, it's a color picker you can install [01:59] sveakex: One moment... [01:59] so for example i update a program to a higher version, say a chess program, and it did not install well, does that mean the previous version is already out of shape? [01:59] nickrud: ok, going for it... [02:00] sveakex: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [02:00] oboy03: In general, you won't be updating to a higher version except when updating the entire release [02:00] has anyone seen the IUbuntu ndiana Jones desktop [02:00] oh [02:00] sveakex: But I wouldn't reccommend using it unless you have decent internet connection. Other installation could be a pain. [02:00] so at fresh install its best not to update anything? [02:00] oboy03: I should say, you won't be updating software piecemeal, except in very extreme circumstances [02:00] nickrud: i have three devices sda1 - linux, sda2 "extended" and sda 5 "linux swap". fsck only runs on the first one... which one is my hd? [02:01] Odd-rationale: i want to try it on a vm :) [02:01] like now im only updating the imporatant security updates [02:01] oboy03: if you have something installed, and an update is released by _ubuntu_ , it will automatically be updated on your machine with your permission [02:01] oboy03: all of that upgrading gets handled for you by Synaptic Package Manager. no need to concern yourself with when to upgrade [02:01] Odd-rationale: my internet is fast enough, i have done a few arch and gentoo installs [02:01] anyone know how to fix this: Couldn't load Perl module Image::Magick. Images will be skipped [02:02] sveakex: Once installation is finished, it is no smaller than an ordinary installation. If you already have the cd, use it. [02:02] so you mean i dont even have to choose anything in software sources? [02:02] Sunman: they are all your hard disk. sda1 is the partition where linux is installed, sda2 is a container for logical partitions, and sda5 is the partition that is used for memory swap. Only the first needs fscking [02:02] I just maid a link on my desktop and id like to to add the programs icon where might I find it? [02:02] because i chose iportant security updates [02:02] then it said i should update these, and i updated [02:02] sveakex: The live or alt cd, that is [02:02] Odd-rationale: so it downloads all packages and installs? the turn out is the same? [02:02] does anybody know how to get the sd card reader to work in gusty [02:02] Erealz: in the usr/bin [02:03] oboy03: Have you made any changes to your sources.list [02:03] oboy03: yes. Those are the updates I'm talking about. I was (indirectly) cautioning against updates from other sources, which is the main cause of the os breaking [02:03] sveakex: Yes. I thought it would be smaller two when I first used it. [02:03] nickrud: Nice, thanks :p [02:03] Erealz: sry /usr/share/icons? [02:03] oh [02:03] lilg111111: THe plug in ones almost all work, the built in ones are more hit and miss [02:03] no changes in source.list [02:03] oboy03: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training has a book that will tell you much of what you need to know [02:03] lilg1111 I've had lots of problems getting the built in ones working too [02:03] thanks [02:04] Odd-rationale: i thought it was an empty installation where i got to install everything [02:04] I've attempted to use XGL and AIGLX on 7.10 but I still don't have direct rendering with either intel or i810 drivers. I've read a number of guides and I'm rather stuck. Any suggestions or methods of confirming that AIGLX was loaded properly? [02:04] sveakex: The only advantage is that once installed, you don't need to upgrade because it already downloaded the latest packages. [02:04] nickrud: I just checked that out.. something new... and useful [02:04] i tried on a nc6000 to get the card reader to activate and followed the guides i could find without any positive results [02:04] Odd-rationale: well that is a very good advantage :) [02:04] Jack_Sparrow: yeah, I ran across it a couple days ago. Read a bit, didn't see any glaring errors [02:04] jack sparrow and Dark harmonics should i give it up [02:04] sveakex: It *can* do that if you specify "CLI" in boot up before install. But so can the alt cd. [02:04] so what do u usually guys do with ubuntu? [02:05] give a search for your model type and that card reader lilg1111 [02:05] just as a desktop? server? gaming? [02:05] there might be something model specific [02:05] but i wouldnt waste too much patience on it [02:05] lilg111111: I did, I spent $9 for one that does something like 20 dif cards [02:05] Jack_Sparrow: that's really quite a gift from canonical, huh? [02:05] that cheap Jack? [02:05] oboy03: I use Linux on my tablet pc which I use for school. [02:05] Odd-rationale: but the alt cds packages are 4-5 months older ;) [02:05] desertc: YEp [02:05] oboy03: I do all my work on it. Run a couple local servers (like web and mysql) . And use a couple servers out there that use debian. I keep it all in the family :) [02:05] <_elemental> oboy03 Web development and network administration on the lappy, assorted servers on the towers [02:05] do you have the model number from yours Jack? [02:06] dark_Harmonics: You can sometimes get them free after a rebate from Frys [02:06] dark_Harmonics: LEt me look for it [02:06] sveakex: As long as you have fast and reliable internet connection. You should be good. You don't want to lose connection during install [02:06] !training [02:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about training - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:06] so once i get used to ubuntu it would be superior to windows? even on vista? [02:06] what is the simple most easy ftpd to install and set up? [02:06] has anyone had success with creating a grub bootdisk on a live ubuntu distro [02:06] oboy03: Not better, different [02:06] Okay: I have a problem. Something similar has happened before, but It went away by itself. My Webserver and my IRC server are both down [02:06] oboy03, depends on the job you are doing. [02:06] I need some help please... when using the user switcher applet, if the "lock screen" option is on when I switch between users there is only a blank white screen. BUT (hehe) if I type my password I can get back to my session. why the white screen? [02:06] oboy03: not for gaming or serious sound work yet [02:07] The last time it happened, someone tried to bruteforce my webserver [02:07] oic [02:07] <_elemental> oboy03, superior on some things, inferior on others [02:07] Odd-rationale: yeah it is very fast and stable :) [02:07] i just want to deposit files on this box... no security [02:07] anybody know how to whisper in here? [02:07] only from the LAN [02:07] I've attempted to use XGL and AIGLX on 7.10 but I still don't have direct rendering with either intel or i810 drivers. I've read a number of guides and I'm rather stuck. Any suggestions or methods of confirming that AIGLX was loaded properly? log file reports success, glxinfo is still not using direct rendering [02:07] bruce [02:07] u there? [02:07] dark_Harmonics, you use /msg on irc. [02:07] i forgot all my irc crap from years ago [02:07] dark_Harmonics: /pm [02:07] Can Sony Vegas be ran on Ubuntu?.... [02:07] fghj [02:07] dark_Harmonics: lol, /msg [02:07] dark_Harmonics: The first one I see only says ucr-61 and may only do 10 to 15 types [02:07] <_elemental> oboy03, what do you usually do on windows? [02:07] sveakex: Go for it then! Are you planning to put it on virtualbox? [02:07] games, internet [02:07] nickrud oboy03: Don't cut Free Software short! It is very possible to do high quality sound editing in Linux and there are many games available, too. [02:08] thanks for the replys :) [02:08] depends on the games. :) [02:08] chibitracker yo [02:08] Is savage2 out yet? [02:08] Aldrin yo [02:08] nickrud: thanks. well, it came up clean. now i am just confused. [02:08] sound on linux is 333t [02:08] i will now mainly use linux for the internet [02:08] desertc: not cutting it short, just pointing out that those are the only things that linux trails in my experience [02:08] <_elemental> gaming is still a windows universe, there are games but they don't compare [02:08] iDivine: You can check the winde data base of supported programs, but I seriously doubt it [02:08] can i not get kde by using ap-get ??? [02:08] yeah i'm trying to get WoW and a few other things working but i can't get support for OpenGL :/ [02:08] wine [02:08] Odd-rationale: yeah, i don't want to overwrite arch, i am curious how it is to build a ubuntu system :p [02:08] Dr_willis: 100s of games in the Ubuntu repository - just one click and you have them installed. Is that available on Win or Mac or even Nintendo? [02:08] an* [02:08] * nickrud refuses to get his machine drunk [02:08] putnum: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [02:08] Can anyone help me with my server problem? [02:08] anyone have anything to do about solving this error when i try to run skencil (a python based program)? http://pastie.caboo.se/149049 [02:08] i just wanna harness the full potential of linux, so i can have alternatives on the future [02:09] desertc, but if you want to play spore when it comes out.. and theres no wine support. or natgive client.. you are SOL. [02:09] desertc, it all depends on what you want to play. [02:09] hmmmm Banshee is not playing.... it just sits there when I press play... any ideas? [02:09] how do u install a wireless adapter? [02:09] almost every 6 month i reformat windows due to slowing, virus, need to defrag. i wanna be free from those [02:09] Dr_willis: Sure, and if you want to play a Nintendo game, it's not available on Ubuntu either, but that is because Ubuntu != Nintendo. [02:09] Odd-rationale: after i finished i might try Linux From Scratch or Slackware [02:09] <_elemental> oboy03, start learning now then, the more you use it the more flexible it becomes. [02:09] Dr_willis: Exactly why I have a windows partition and dual boot [02:09] sveakex: it is very easy. after install, just start apt-getting things. No big deal. [02:09] i dont think my dvd drive is configured, dose anyone have any ideas? [02:09] yes i will [02:10] anyone know why my volume in ubuntu is significantly lower than in windows? [02:10] francisco, guess what? i hacked your compiz!!!!!!!!! [02:10] sveakex: BTW, nice to see a fellow archer in the channel [02:10] Hey, I was just wondering if there was any way to create a shortcut to a folder in gOS? [02:10] Can anyone help me fix my server problem? [02:10] actually i've been using it since nov 2007 [02:10] arooni, did you update your libc libs since python was installed? [02:10] what do you mean?? [02:10] Dr_willis: That's why I have a Nintendo partition and a dual screen. [02:10] brandon_-> very carefully.. use a pci card if possible as opposed to those usb wifi adapter [02:10] i just need a hands on training [02:10] francisco, i know your real name -- its bruce [02:10] daraknor, no i dont know how to do that; can you tell me how? [02:10] unagi: it is a fundamental difference in the way that audio professionals view line level signals [02:10] Odd-rationale: hehe, i don't think it will be so hard, it just for fun :P [02:10] sang i got a usb [02:10] Josep1: you using the jackd sound daemon? Sound (professional) sucks in linux right now. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/cleanup-audio-jumble has some hope for later [02:10] odd: it keeps saying coudn't find package kubuntu-desktop [02:10] sveakex: I can point you to some guides that might help you out... [02:10] the interesting thing is, i can see my hd and can browse it perfectly [02:11] and yet i cant boot from it. [02:11] arooni, I suspect you need to reconfigure the python package to update the library references === genii_ is now known as genii [02:11] i think because i use a proxy here at work to get out [02:11] Odd-rationale: that would be awesome :) [02:11] Can anyone help me with my server problem? [02:11] I've attempted to use XGL and AIGLX on 7.10 but I still don't have direct rendering with either intel or i810 drivers. I've read a number of guides and I'm rather stuck. Any suggestions or methods of confirming that AIGLX was loaded properly? log file reports success, glxinfo is still not using direct rendering [02:11] nickrud Josep1: Also, Renoise, a popular sound tracker-mixer came out for Linux the other day [02:11] how can i install my proxy [02:11] unagi: linux is more quiet to try and reduce the possibility of cliping and therefore the chance of making a bad recording to tape [02:11] Omnimon-X, ask real questions please [02:11] seany: Thanks for the help =) I will reboot and test the settings now [02:11] daraknor, cool; do you know how to do that [02:11] <_elemental> recording to what? [02:11] I did, but I don't want to type it all again [02:11] putnum: i believe you need to apt-get install kde [02:11] <_elemental> tape? wth is tape? [02:11] i'll be back guys, security update is done and need restart [02:11] ok mister lockesRabb! help me fix my dvd drive!! [02:11] ::to a fostex R8 ? [02:11] cxbxcb [02:12] sveakex: Can I pm them to you? [02:12] or a minidisk [02:12] desertc: like I said, there's hope (been saying that since I was able to ditch the $20 oss driver I bought for my first machine) [02:12] Tredje0ye: ok, you don't happen to know anything about LDAP do you? want to return the favor? :-p [02:12] nope [02:12] same [02:12] Odd-rationale: sure [02:12] i have seen bruce checkin out 2 girls 1 finger, and he actually likes it! [02:12] i need to put my proxy in [02:12] Omnimon-X, it is in your chat history i bet. try hitting up a lot [02:12] how can i do that [02:12] bruce who is that [02:12] ? [02:12] haha [02:13] bruce, just download the codecs for your DVD player [02:13] because my connection goes through a proxy server [02:13] also when i run fsck /dev/hda ut gives me a message saying that the superblcok could not be read - what could that mean? [02:13] Sunman: sorry, you scrolled off and I forgot who I wanted to talk to :) What's the error? [02:13] where? [02:13] and i have not setup that yet [02:13] who in here knows what is the most simple FTP server to run... security is not a concern [02:13] arooni, sudo dpkg-reconfigure python2.5 [02:13] anybody? [02:13] daraknor, you rock [02:13] arooni, sudo dpkg-reconfigure python [02:13] Sunman: what's the complete error? on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [02:14] Can I "rpm -ivh" with Synaptic? [02:14] I have a bunch of rpms on a CD [02:14] maximilion-> nope, use alien then use the dkpg -i [02:14] daraknor, skencil still core dumps though :( [02:14] putnum: type your question all on one line. no one can read it since it is mixed up in three pages of other text [02:14] I've attempted to use XGL and AIGLX on 7.10 but I still don't have direct rendering with either intel or i810 drivers. I've read a number of guides and I'm rather stuck. Any suggestions or methods of confirming that AIGLX was loaded properly? log file reports success, glxinfo is still not using direct rendering [02:14] Hey, I was just about to install some security updates to ubuntu, when my computer came up with a screen with lines on it and logged me off, what does that mean? [02:14] how can i tell ubuntu that i go through a proxy server? [02:14] amenado, ok - or Terminal ;) [02:14] bruce, follow instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [02:15] So is there ANY way to install using a live CD with an nvidia 8800 card? [02:15] arooni, on reconfigure did it say LD was being updated? [02:15] it was the craziest thing [02:15] Josep1-> try again [02:15] i use vmware to run my linux [02:15] I am [02:15] There's like 400 posts about it and it seems like it's some sort of black magic [02:15] It's not the first time it has done that... is it crashing? [02:15] (and consider buying entertainment that does not restrict you with digital restrictions) [02:15] what is the most lightweight browser besides lynx... Dillo? [02:15] daraknor, no; there was no input whatsoever :( spun the cycles for a bit but thats it [02:16] nickrud: so the fsck /dev/sda1 came out clean. fsck /dev/hda returned this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55162/ [02:16] nickrud: can you help me get eth0 back, I tried to move to Alpha4 [02:16] Oh god, how do I cd to the dvd drive in the terminal? Nothing in /mnt... help! :) [02:16] Okay: I have a problem. Something similar has happened before, but It went away by itself. My Webserver and my IRC server are both down [02:16] The last time it happened, someone tried to bruteforce my webserver [02:16] Is there any way to find out why it is happening? [02:16] maximilion-> what do you have? [02:16] bad_cables: Opera is lightweight [02:16] maximilion: cd /media/whatever [02:17] Sunman: hda is the entire disk, not a partition. it is not fsck'able [02:17] ah, thanks both! :) [02:17] desertc: this is a via 1U 686 @ 800 with a 64k cache =( [02:17] Sunman: so, back to the real issue: You can't boot? [02:17] amenado: is the sscreen with different color lines on it, and then logging me off/seeming like it restarts my computer like crashing? [02:17] bad_cables: ouch [02:17] try elinks [02:17] q_a_z_steve: did you reinstall gutsy? [02:17] Sunman: whats wrong? [02:17] nickrud: I was moving up from dapper [02:17] Can anyone help me with installing Gutsy Gibbon to an external hard drive? [02:17] bad_cables: rather elinks2 [02:18] bad_cables: I run Opera on my cell phone. What's the matter with your 1U server? [02:18] jw144000: sure do you have the live cd? [02:18] Omnimon-X, running services attracts attention. IRC is a tough service to keep up most of the time. "bruteforcing" refers to someone trying to crack your passwords through guessing. That happens on machines with almost no services [02:18] q_a_z_steve: ah. You know, you should report that as a bug on launchpad, and have them work with you on it [02:18] desertc: it runs X ;) [02:18] does anybody know java here? [02:18] poningru: Yes [02:18] desertc: opera mobile != normal opera [02:18] hi [02:18] anyone tell me what i've messed up with packages? http://pastebin.com/mccd1739 [02:18] daraknor: I'm not a n00b. [02:18] nickrud:yes. i can browse my hd. withe a livecd. but not boot from it [02:18] err. wrong channel. already said hi here [02:18] I've checked the logs [02:18] Omnimon-X, then ask real questions. [02:18] q_a_z_steve: they are desperate for feedback on dapper->hardy upgrades. You should ask on #ubuntu+1 about it [02:18] and there isn't anything in them. [02:18] jw144000: make sure the external hdd is connected to your computer and boot from the live cd [02:18] nickrud: report what, I have no details as of yet, it's just kind of broken hard. [02:18] that relates to crashing a server [02:18] I've attempted to use XGL and AIGLX on 7.10 but I still don't have direct rendering with either intel or i810 drivers. I've read a number of guides and I'm rather stuck. Any suggestions or methods of confirming that AIGLX was loaded properly? log file reports success, glxinfo is still not using direct rendering [02:19] This machines been my hacking laptop for ages and hardly get's any love (cause it 'just works). [02:19] has anyone else had ubuntu give you lines on the screen then log off and restart? (not to the bios, just ubuntu) [02:19] jw144000: then during the install just install it into your external hdd [02:19] bad_cables: my cell phone runs X [02:19] Omnimon-X, see my question contains info, version numbers, etc [02:19] nickrud: #ubuntu+1 is almost silent [02:19] OK [02:19] fine [02:19] Josep1-> maybe the gdm got corrupted, logon and try again [02:19] Sunman: does windows boot? [02:19] poningru: Some sites say I need to remove my internal HDD, is this neccessary? [02:19] I'm running Apache Web Server 2, and UnrealIRCd version 3.2.7 [02:19] nickrud: i dont have windows. === Darkmystere__ is now known as Darkmystere [02:19] q_a_z_steve: try taking it to #ubuntu-motu , the worst they can say is file a bug report [02:19] and they are both down [02:19] well it's working now, I just want to prevent it, I'll see what a gdm is [02:19] and I can't connect. [02:19] Sunman: so, you have to have some kind of error. [02:19] desertc: no like... i used to run DSL 3.x on this and it flew, now i run Xubuntu but on my TV @ 1360x768 with a webradio 24/7 [02:19] jw144000: no thats only to make sure that you dont accidentaly install it to the internal drive [02:20] !gdm [02:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about gdm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:20] Omnimon-X, can you log into the machine? [02:20] amenado: 'Use Alien'? (rpm command not found...) [02:20] q_a_z_steve: but that's not to say I won't help you get your net back up if I can :) [02:20] !alien | maximilion [02:20] maximilion: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [02:20] maximilion-> you have to download alien package [02:20] daraknor: its on this computer, so yes. -_- [02:20] desertc: what cellphone you got ther ? [02:20] nickrud: sweet, well right now I can't see anything other than lo in ifconfig [02:20] Omnimon-X, try sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start [02:20] It IS started [02:20] and so is unreal [02:20] what is the name of the kernel source package to satisfy: "To successefully compile the driver, kernel source three have to be\ installed and configured to match currently running kernel." [02:20] nickrud: what do you mean? yes : "Error 16:Inconsistent filesystem" [02:21] and do I really need the source, or just the headers ? [02:21] amenado: Alien is dangerous [02:21] nickrud: I can't even tell if I have BitchX, installed anymore, to irc from there [02:21] Omnimon-X, then run netstat -nlp and see if the ports are open [02:21] CarlFK-> apt-get install build-essentials [02:21] amenado: Thanks! and replace "rpm -ivh" with "dpkg -i" in the terminal? [02:21] Jack_Sparrow-> why so? [02:21] im just gonna install wuftp [02:21] anyone have flash die on them with the update to flashplugin-nonfree? [02:21] Jack_Sparrow: Is there a better way to install rpm packages? [02:21] CarlFK: You need the package 'build-essential' and the same kernel headers as the version you're running [02:21] q_a_z_steve: add auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp to /etc/network/interfaces , then run sudo ifdown eth0 ; sudo ifup eth0 [02:21] maximilion-> yes. [02:21] amenado: See the ubunto link? [02:22] hello [02:22] how do i install a .package file? [02:22] i have a problem [02:22] maximilion: Trying to install rpm's is gonna cause you grief [02:22] Jack_Sparrow-> yes I have seen it, I dont fear it === crd1b is now known as crdlb [02:22] Sunman: and when you sudo fsck /dev/hda1 , what do you get? [02:22] gyaresu: how do I get the same kernel headers ? [02:22] i can't boot xp after installing ubuntu [02:22] where is it [02:22] clean... [02:22] maximilion: The best way of course is to install rpm packages on a system which uses rpm as it's native package type, unlike ubuntu [02:22] !grub [02:22] 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 [02:22] after i reinstalling the grub [02:22] Well, I'll just tell the developer to make an exception for me and not send dvds containing rpms ;) [02:22] Sunman: put /boot/grub/menu.lst on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [02:23] maximilion: I've had mixed results using Alien [02:23] thepain: Do you know if xp is in your menu.lst? [02:23] nickrud: wait a second i think it just randomly started working. i ran a recovery mode with the previous kernel and it went through. after i tried to do the very same thing at least 10 times earlier. this system works in mysterious ways [02:23] alien is the rpm bursting from the guts of ubuntu [02:23] genii: Aha. And there is no alternative to alien? [02:24] maximilion: GEt the source and compile it yourself [02:24] daraknor: what do you mean by open? They are being forwarded to my computer, and they show up [02:24] CarlFK: Do an 'apt-cache search headers |grep`uname -r` [02:24] maximilion: Not really. Although you could use something like 7zip to open up the rpm and then selectively decide what goes where from in that archive [02:24] Commercial software, I doubt if they will send me the source ;) [02:25] the program 'mc' can browse the contents of a rpm file. :) its just a cpio archive I recall. [02:25] maximilion: What kind of app is it [02:25] Oh well, it can wait til morning. [02:25] nickrud: well, everything worked. all of a sudden. with no clear explanation as to what the hell was happening to it for the last few hours. *shrug* [02:25] Night all, cu in 8 :) [02:25] cya [02:25] Sunman: I don't know what you're talking about, but I feel your pain a lot [02:25] Sunman: lol, you did something right in your flailing. [02:25] Need help with shell script [02:26] http://pastebin.com/m5abc4732 [02:26] trollboy, summerize the problem a bit? [02:26] Is there a program/plugin for fileunroller to read .rar files in linux? [02:26] got to restart [02:26] troseph, , summerize the problem a bit? [02:26] !rar [02:26] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [02:26] sorry trollboy :) wrong nick. [02:26] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks [02:26] nickrud: well hopefully, it wont happen again. thanks! [02:26] I was gunna say, "I was born in a small town in ohio in the blizzard of '78..." [02:27] gyaresu: thanks. [02:27] Dr_willis: I need to make a shell script that makes 100 directories named 1-100 [02:27] i like it when i apt-get install appformorons2060 and it sais "please do not ask the appformorons2060 team for help" [02:27] Dr_willis: It throws an error on line 3 says there is no such file or directory [02:28] nickrud: Have you built any Myth systems. I was given a P4 2.6 and it had an ATI TV Pro card in it.. [02:28] some one mind helping me with a umask setting (want it so i can read/write with out having to sudo once the drive is mounted) [02:28] I'm having trouble with my reiserfs drive. reiserfsck says that there are bad blocks and that it's a hardware issue and tells me to buy a new drive, but I would really like to save my data. Is this possible? [02:28] Dr_willis: I don't know variables very well [02:28] Jack_Sparrow: no I haven't tried yet. [02:28] MGrunde-> buy a new drive and then slave the old one to recover data [02:29] MGrunde: dd command can read that and save as much as it can.. I do believe.. [02:29] amenado: already running on a new drive with the bad one slaved. [02:29] Jack_Sparrow, I've heard bad things about getting those ATI TV cards to work under linux [02:29] er fstab - umask=???? [02:29] thus why I've not built my mythbox yet ;-) [02:29] i accidentally hid the menu at the top of this window and forgot how to get it back. can anyone help?

[02:33] does it attempt to load? [02:35] troseph, theres some shell command that can generate a list of #'s then you can just do a for loop, or use xargs - I would say check the advanced bash scripting guide tutorial. (its in the repos under abs-guide) [02:35] Dr_willis: I got it: for i in {1..100}; do mkdir $i; done [02:35] troseph, :) yep. thats about it.

[02:47] does anyone use iwconfig much? i've got a nitty gritty question [02:47] doesn't osx have ssh somewhere? [02:47] nickrud: the point? [02:47] hon: if so, you can install openssh-server on ubuntu, and use scp to move files around [02:48] iwconfig eth1 ap 00:15:62:BB:5C:A1 [02:48] nickrud: that's not nice. [02:48] DWonderly, i have problems with OpenGL too :( [02:48] I do that as last resort. [02:48] this command should associate me with the givin AP but i doesn't seem to switch...why? [02:48] can anyone help me or refer me to something as far as how to install a file that i downloaded that is a .sh file? [02:49] hon: then samba? [02:49] whoaitsphil: what .sh file?

[03:04] KiD_ChAoS: You should be able to, yes, since it's the MAC reported by "wireless scanning" Are you using some format like: aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff:00 for mac? [03:05] Brb..

[03:11] thisisfalse: well, it looks like buffers is what is actually being used, cache is just in case stuff loaded into memory, I don't think its complicated, If you still have free ram, then you are getting as much as you can with memory [03:11] KiD_ChAoS: Does ifconfig show the ethernet adapter up before you are issuing these iwconfig commands? [03:12] poser seems overkill [03:12] ok .... I have been advised the Ubuntu 7.10 is just not interested in webcam support for the 7.10 release, and that I will probably never get it to keep working. Until the people putting out the distro care about it, it is not going to happen. Any thoughts? [03:12] anyone know how the various cell company broadband cards work on ubuntu?

[03:13] danbhfive: apparantly there are many others with the same kinds of issues and error messages. [03:13] hou5ton: I just finished installing a pirated and spanish language version of XP to get my cheapo webcam working [03:13] danbhfive: I've tried three different webcams with three different chip sets [03:14] genii, yes i was going to try and issue the 'off' switch first then try to reconnect [03:14] genii, i'll try now [03:14] KiD_ChAoS: perhaps try something like: sudo iwconfig off; sudo iwconfig aa:bb:cc etc [03:14] one sec [03:14] danbhfive: it actually will work at first ... for a little while ... and then quits ... and then the only way to get it working again is with a new install [03:14] danbhfive: something about Ubuntu 7.10 that just doesn't get it [03:15] hou5ton: hmmm, I don't know, at least you have some sort of support, but I can't help ya [03:15] danbhfive: wonder what other distro I should try? === MaxPayne is now known as alanhaggai [03:15] KiD_ChAoS, there's also an option "iwconfig eth1 mode X" but i'm not so sure about it, you might take a look at this man page: http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl8_iwconfi.htm [03:15] How can I get rid of power save mode upon reboot? [03:16] anyone know about posting bounties for ubuntu? [03:17] -;noooo BACK [03:17] hey guys everytime I reboot i get /dev/sd5 was not cleanly mounted. Check force::: and then i proceeds to fix whatever the problem was. I have no sd5 to my knowledge, and when I look at my places its not their either [03:17] how can I tell if i have dapper or gutsy? [03:17] is there any way to get ubuntu apps in windows? [03:17] KiD_ChAoS, playing with different options might work, there's also commands "ifup" and "ifdown", i think they should apply to your wireless interface eth1 as well. So you could do a "ifdown eth1", set what you want and then "ifup eth1" :) [03:17] all i have is sd1 and sd2 which are two partitions [03:17] olivia23: lsb_release -a [03:18] Webu, ok [03:18] and then a usb drive but its called XTREME [03:18] optiumus55, wine runs some windows apps [03:18] Optimus55: you can try cygwin [03:18] danbhfive: can i install dapper packages in feisty? [03:19] danbhfive: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/utils/disktype , trying to install that [03:19] KiD_ChAoS, if it simply won't work, it might be your card and/or it's driver though it "worked" with a GUI. [03:19] Rellic: sorry i mean the other way around. not windows in ubuntu, i mean ubuntu apps in windows [03:19] drpcken: What does the result of: sudo fdisk -l |grep sda5 report? [03:19] danbhfive: does cygwin support linux applications in window? [03:19] danbhfive: nvm, got it [03:19] Optimus55: yeah [03:20] How can I stop a monitor from going into power save mode upon reboot? [03:20] Webu, wierd 'ifdown eth1' comes back as 'eth1 not configured' [03:20] olivia23: its in gutsy [03:20] danbhfive: thanks [03:20] KiD_ChAoS: Another thing which occurs to me is that your APs may be each individually assigning DHCP IPs to clients which conflict with each other [03:20] KiD_ChAoS, at least my Windows laptop always selects the strongest open AP if there's many avaible with the same SSID and channel. [03:20] broken__: doesn't that happen because the monitor is turned off? [03:21] genii, /dev/sda5 3434 9729 50572588+ 83 Linux [03:21] broken__: or rather, the signal is cut [03:21] Webu, yes that was why we made them all the same SSID to ensure the end-user with windows the best signal [03:21] Hi. Sorry for the noob question. What does meen "switch to a tty" ? [03:21] KiD_ChAoS, hmmph, they might now work with wireless interfaces, sorry i'm not able to test it out since i don't have any wireless interfaces here :/ [03:21] KiD_ChAoS, might not* [03:21] genii, no we have our router handle all the DHCP [03:21] danbhfive, a friend is experiencing this issue, she says it only happens when she restarts from ubuntu but not a cold reboot. [03:21] drpcken: Then boot to recovery mode and run fsck /dev/sda5 [03:22] CrazyPhil: TeleTYpe I think, I think it just means to start a terminal [03:22] ok thanks [03:22] broken__: maybe it's a bios issue [03:22] CrazyPhil: it means press ctl-alt-f1 -> f6 , ctl-alt-f7 to get back to the gui [03:22] genii, will do, what is sda5 though? i only have 2 partitions [03:23] trying to configure my wifi usb adapter... what is my next step after i obtain the chipset? [03:23] ty [03:23] KiD_ChAoS, yeah, even using different softwares like WifiHopper i wasn't able to select which one i'll connect (on my Windows laptop). [03:23] drpcken: Obviously you don't. To see a complete list of all your partitions, do just: sudo fdisk -l [03:23] broken__: I remember way back that bios's had two boot modes, quick and normal, where quick was used on reboots, maybe quick boot doesn't work. You should be able to turn it off in bios [03:23] does burning ubuntu to cd-rw vs cd-r have a difference? [03:23] geni, you're right [03:24] ahave: are you using ndiswrapper? [03:24] geni, says its a Linux system === DrShower is now known as DrFrankenstein [03:24] i'll do what you said [03:24] hi [03:24] danbhfive, idk. how can i tell? [03:24] English help wanted. What is meant by 'bouncing' in the following sentence: "Via some abstraction (either acpid, gnome-power-manager or kpowersave or something), the userspace makes that decision and initiates the suspend to RAM process by either calling a suspend script directly or bouncing via HAL." [03:24] I'm having some laptop issues here [03:24] Webu, genii, could it be that my driver for my wireless card is fwcutter? [03:24] for security sakes and stuff is it still a good idea to make multiple partitions for /root /boot, etc? [03:24] Is there something that I'm missing? I'm running 7.10 and I want to burn an .iso to a dvd and when I right click on the file I don't have a burn command like people are saying online. [03:24] ahave: from whatever directions you are following [03:24] bullgard4: it's telling the system to suspend using HAL [03:24] i switched from ndiswrapper to fwcutter [03:24] KiD_ChAoS: I doubt it could be the cause, since the adapter seems to work otherwise. [03:24] bullgard4: it means calling it indirectly via hal [03:25] genii, yes right [03:25] and when I pop the blank DVD in ubuntu prompts me to create a DVD but when I go to make a dvd an error comes up saying "burn:///" is not a valid location. [03:25] danbhfive, i do not have directions.. [03:25] also, i always disable system beep with rmmod pcspkr, but when i reboot the system beep returns [03:25] danbhfive, which is why i am here [03:25] KiD_ChAoS, sorry i don't know much about the drivers, but it's possible that your driver or card just wants to switch the strongest one regardless what Ubuntu tries to set. [03:25] I just bought an HP Pavilion laptop with a widescreen LCD 15" display, I'm having trouble finding out which display to enter at boot (I put "Nvidia GeForce 7 series, because I have a 7150) but I can't figure out what to put for the monitor [03:25] I've come to the conclusion today that if you want effortless wireless connectivity, I should invest in a wireless bridge.

[03:25] Hi there when do ctrl+alt+f1 to get on console, I get an error message that is really annoying me and prevent me from using it to debug my computer: http://pastebin.com/m2e2383bb is there a way to prevent this message to show up?

[03:26] oh i c [03:26] danbhfive, thx [03:26] wow everyone has wireless questions today [03:26] drpcken: create a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ named pcspeaker, and add the line blacklist pcspkr to it. That will prevent it being reloaded on boot [03:26] drpcken: You can just blacklist the pcspkr module if you never want to hear it [03:26] KiD_ChAoS, from iwconfig man page: "Force the card to register to the Access Point given by the address, [03:26] if it is possible.

[03:27] i've got a really crappy integrated wireless adapter and a pcmcia card. I want to block ubuntu from using the internal one but can't seem to figure out how [03:27] Could someone please give me the entire command as to how to remove a particular application in wine when the wine uninstaller fails? [03:27] Webu, yeah that could be but im looking into the 'sens' within iwconfig right now.... it all comes down to it working in the gui but not in terminal [03:27] how can i tell which sound device my mic is?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [03:28] Roy: what's the reason it matters to you? I think all that is left behind are links/files/registry crap [03:28] anyone know of a way to blacklist one of my adapters?

Yet I get this error message in vista start up- "Attempting to load a 64-bit application, however this cpu is not compatible with 64-bit mode". Does virtualbox only run 32bit?

[03:28] : [03:28] KiD_ChAoS: So if your router assigns the dhcp numbers for the entire network including all the APs are they set up in something like repeater/bridge mode? Since most APs of course are getting the IP from the router then assign different ranges to their clients [03:28] :( [03:29] KiD_ChAoS, i see, it sounds a bit funny and strange at the same time if GUI claims to be connected to a specific MAC. [03:29] That application is incompatible [03:29] ok [03:29] How do I find out when a package was installed? [03:29] Anyone know what I should do about burning an iso?

I already press F4, and changed from VGA to multiple different resolutions, and still no luck :( My video card is a 8800GT.. Any help, please? [03:30] ogre: wait, maybe it's something else, but check that too [03:30] danbhfive: Any hints? [03:30] danbhfive, ndiswrapper is for using windows drivers? [03:30] drpcken: you have to do sudoedit /etc/modprobe.d/pcspeaker , you need admin privs to write in /etc [03:30] What is a simple way to sync a directory on windows vista, and one on gnome?

I can find mention in the manual that it can do this but nothing saying how :( [03:31] Roy: I just don't understand why you care, unless you are reinstalling or something, but I really don't know. maybe you can try in #wine [03:31] whew [03:31] poningru: I'm here [03:31] k guys, im trying to run a vm. it says im missing a module. im using virtualbox heres the modprobe feedback http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55166/ any help would be appreciated I have no clue what im doing [03:31] jw144000: all you have to do is pop in your windows cd and boot from it [03:32] oops sorry [03:32] OK [03:32] then what [03:32] and when you get to the first screen select the repair option by pressing r [03:32] ok [03:32] I'm about to install Ubuntu on a new HP laptop... it didn't come with a Vista disc, it's just installed, I didn't use the key yet, so is there any way to download vista later and use my key? [03:32] ahave: well, if it worked in linux, then I think it would already be working. and yes, ndiswrapper is about using the windows drivers in linux [03:32] in case I have issues with Ubuntu [03:32] then type in your administrator password if it asks you [03:32] HPubuntuLaptop, didn't you get a restore CD? [03:32] KiD_ChAoS: Nothing immediate comes to mind besides the issues I've mentioned already. I have no other things to try at this moment. But I'm still trying to think of what the issue could be. [03:32] no it didn't come with one [03:32] jw144000: then do a command called fixmbr [03:32] system restore is in the computer... like in a partition I think [03:32] just type in fixmbr [03:32] poningru: I'm using a storebought copy of Windows XP home edition....it's not a restore CD that came with my PC, does that matter? [03:33] i wanna drink... but have test tomorrow [03:33] but im happy cause i finally got my computer running awesome!!! yay!! [03:33] My PC has System restore on the hard drive [03:33] hi stealthcorba.... are u there? [03:33] HPubuntuLaptop: call them up, and ask for the windows disk, its within your rights I believe [03:33] jw144000: no that does not matter [03:33] Yes Honey Taz [03:33] ok [03:33] danbhfive, it has worked previously on another ubuntu box i once had.. just not now. [03:33] HPubuntuLaptop, I highly doubt a big market company like HP would give out a laptop without the cd.. its there, just look for it [03:33] jw144000: just make sure the external hard drive is not connected when you do this [03:33] evil evil evil jw144000 [03:33] HPubuntuLaptop, probably you can burn restore dvd [03:33] either that or if there is a way to log data sent to a serial port to a file - thought I'd found something that would do it with the program ttylog but that only does data coming in through that serial port and i need to log data going out :( [03:33] danbhfive, is there no other way than without ndiswrapper? [03:33] SergeantScar, congrats ;) [03:33] ha ha ha setlhcbra.. how was ur day [03:33] HPubuntuLaptop, if not, do as danbhfive said and ask for it [03:33] magick, they don't, I assure you [03:33] bad day! [03:34] Linux give me hard time [03:34] thanks very much!! oops. got to restart! [03:34] danbhfive, i would rather not use a wrapper and just use it natively [03:34] yeah i started using iwlist scan and was amazed it allowed me to see the MACs of all the APs there and also iwconfig to show me which mac i was on but i need more functionality damnit! [03:34] nickrud: Why are you calling me evil? [03:34] sorry setalcobra... anyway any one know how to using with remote ?? can u help with ?? [03:34] jw144000: not you , your situation. evil HP [03:34] no0tic, so i'm guessing they want you to rely on their recovery partition right? [03:34] KiD_ChAoS, do you happen to use a Broadcom chipset card btw? [03:34] nickrud: Oh, OK. Actually, it's Dell, not HP [03:34] Webu, yes i do [03:34] In my case [03:34] is there a support channel for the eee-pc [03:34] ahave: well of course, native will always be better than ndiswrapper. Have you installed linux-modules-restricted? or checked the restricted driver manager maybe? [03:34] how do we use remtoe between desktop to desktop? [03:35] Okay I read the virtualbox pdf manual, and it says that virtualbox 1.5 (which I got) supports 64 bit Vista. So how do I setup virtualbox to handle 64 bit vista? Thanks for any help. [03:35] any solutions for my specific question? :P [03:35] magick, yes, but you can burn a dvd from that [03:35] jw144000: thanks for letting me know not to buy dell (although I haven't booted my tiny vista partition in months, it's there in case the hardware fails) [03:35] poningru: I'll be back in a few minutes [03:35] KiD_ChAoS, just wondering, actually with WiFiHopper on Windows laptop i was ably to try connect a specific MAC address, but after connecting it always threw me to the strongest one :/ [03:35] danbhfive, restricted driver manager? no. what is that? [03:35] jw144000: k [03:35] dell argh [03:35] DiceyDays: Do you have a 64 bit cpu? [03:36] genii: Yeah [03:36] !please > sier (read the private message from ubotu) [03:36] no0tic, this is probably in their plan to overtake dell.. cut the cost of a CD 50% of the people won't even use.. slow computer from spyware -> buy a new one. [03:36] Webu, yeah windows would switch it on you...i hate that [03:36] got it to work. [03:36] thanks all :) === Jannita is now known as Johanna [03:36] ahave: from a terminal, run restricted-manager [03:36] KiD_ChAoS, me too actually, hope it's not a Broadcom feature :/ [03:36] >_> any one pro at fstab? lol [03:37] any one can help please.. .. how do we using remote betweed desktop to desktop ?? [03:37] nickrud: Heh. It's retarded that they won't give you actual installation CDs, but instead opt on putting system restore on the hard drive. It's as if they didn't think about what I'd need to do if I needed to reformat and reinstall everything, luckily I have a Windows XP CD or I'd be SOL [03:37] ubotu: It turned out I was missing a package which is why I couldn't burn the dvd, thanks tho. [03:37] danbhfive, command not found [03:37] I just had to press CTRL+ALT and +.. in order to change the freq of the video card :) just in case someone is stuck at the same point. [03:37] jw144000: dell gave me two disks ;P [03:37] Webu, yeah otherwise i like my card...it's pretty strong, i don't know the exact mwatts on it but i like it [03:37] danbhfive, it should be known i have a linuxICE build of ubuntu so perhaps this is not included? [03:38] DanThirst: no experts here (they spend time building ubuntu) but what's your issue? [03:38] hi all - would someone with a default "interfaces" file be willing to post their /etc/init.d/network/interfaces file to pastebin? [03:38] KiD_ChAoS, that's great :) What kind of AP's do you happen to use? Buffalos? [03:38] k i'v got this drive mounting but i want to be able to rw with out having to sudo [03:38] How do I get the install date of packages, or the chronological order of package updates? [03:38] nickrud: LOL, I have a bone to pick with these people. BRB [03:38] anyone? [03:39] DanThirst: put your /etc/fstab on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org , and tell us which one you're talking about [03:39] ahave: yeah, that would do it [03:39] just one line can i paste it in here [03:39] Anyone else have these bugs: Application launcher icons on a panel rearrange themselves whenever I login. I am also unable to setup any program to launch automatically when I login. [03:39] DanThirst: one line, sure [03:39] DiceyDays: Since this is more a virtualbox issue (or possible Vista 64 specifically runing on virtualbox) than an Ubuntu issue I would recommend seeking specialised help, possibly at the virtualbox forum or irc if they have one [03:39] Webu, http://www.engeniustech.com/datacom/products/details.aspx?id=173 [03:39] ahave: what's lspci | grep Ethernet say? [03:39] /dev/hdb1 /home/dan/storage auto auto,rw 0 0 [03:39] genii: Okay. Thanks [03:39] nickrud: like i said it mounts fine but [03:40] DanThirst: what partition type is it? [03:40] danbhfive, nothing [03:40] ext3, i had it as ext3 but i was messing round with it [03:40] i'll put it back [03:40] any one will help ?? [03:40] KiD_ChAoS, that looks powerful and professional :O [03:40] (the drive is ext3 as well) [03:40] DanThirst: sudo chown : home/dan/storage [03:40] lol...pain in my ass [03:40] DanThirst: that's it :) [03:41] eh ? [03:41] DanThirst: do that with the partition mounted by the way. [03:41] alright [03:41] will i have to do that every time i log on [03:41] DanThirst: no, just the once [03:41] jrib: sudo usermod vboxusers -G ogre ? [03:42] ahave: so this is linux in your car? [03:42] ogre: no, that would not work. What's the output of 'groups'?

[03:47] sadly i think i prefer fdisk to this new gui for partitioning [03:48] bluekb: it may have been added recently then. [03:48] what would i put in the terminal to get libgpod 0.6.0? [03:48] Can someone recomend me one of this: eclipse or netbeans to do console and Gui [03:48] i cant seem to install it [03:48] bluekb: lsb_release -a will confirm [03:48] im very tired and cant think straight [03:48] 7.04, nickrud [03:48] How do I share files between Windows XP Pro and Ubuntu 7.10?

[03:49] guys Could anyone please tell me how to get libgpod 0.6.0? [03:49] drpcken: dpkg -s [03:50] i have just replaced a Ti 4200 with an FX 5200 [03:50] iieieie: apt-cache search libgpod [03:50] if I lose my panel and main panels, how could I get them back [03:50] and then apt-get install , where foo is whatever the best result from the search is [03:50] is there a program that will take photos and convert them into a video sideshow [03:50] ogre: what package did you install for virtualbox? [03:51] nickrud, thank you. I have confirmed why I think nvidia is not working: kernel update. [03:51] before removing the Ti 4200, i disabled the proprietary driver, reenabling 'nv' [03:51] I didn't realize it. [03:51] i'm seeing the weirdest damn behavior from apt-cache, and i have no idea what's causing it: any search i run has lots of blank lines mixed in with the output, and once the search is done, bash acts like i held down the enter key [03:51] Now, to figure out how to update the nvidia drivers. [03:51] m0u5e: cat /proc/cpuinfo [03:51] oh crap, i have an SGI [03:51] Maybe I'll just re-read the community docs then... [03:51] i need help install glxboot?? -- it doesnt want to display splash screen.. i been on it for 3 days now?? [03:51] now i can't get the binary driver to work with the new(er) 5200, and i'm pulling my hair out [03:51] bluekb: if you are using the ubuntu drivers , install linux-generic that will keep them up to date [03:51] joh6nn: is it reproducable in a new terminal? [03:51] John_R: Perhaps your Enter key is sticking [03:51] nickrud: i need to know my graphics card :X [03:52] m0u5e: lspci | grep -i vga [03:52] oops [03:52] jrib: reproducible over and over again, in xterm and konsole [03:52] m0u5e: gpu, cpu what's the diff :) [03:52] any suggestions? [03:52] poningru: I did exactly what you said, and when I typed fixmbr at the command prompt, it did nothing [03:52] closed both of them, reopened them, still happening [03:52] nickrud, I had trouble with the ubuntu drivers; had to install from nvidia's downloads. [03:52] John_R: Sorry, misdirect :) [03:52] jw144000: what did it say? [03:52] joh6nn: only with apt-cache? [03:52] jrib: 1 sec [03:52] bluekb: then you have to do a complete new install, or at least recompile the kernel modules [03:52] argh... i have a 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter [03:52] Well, I typed R to get to the recovery console, then it went to this command prompt, I typed fixmbr and it did nothing [03:52] joh6nn: : Perhaps your Enter key is sticking [03:53] anyone know how to get it to work w/ compiz? :X [03:53] jrib: best as i can tell. other commands i've tried seem unaffected [03:53] jw144000: err I meant fixboot [03:53] jw144000: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/termsf/p/fixboot.htm [03:53] genii: not as far as i can tell; i'm not having problems with any other commands [03:53] nickrud, complete new install of what? Ubuntu? Or the drivers? [03:54] OK, so just type fixboot at the command prompt? [03:54] I installed ubuntu using my entire hardisk, can i install another linux OS without removing ubuntu? [03:54] or should i partition again? [03:54] bluekb: the nvidia drivers from their site [03:54] eclipse o netbeans? GUI and console :-) [03:54] m0u5e: try installing xserver-xgl , logging out and back in [03:54] hi, all. i'm wondering if i could get some troubleshooting help with an nivida gf fx 5200 and the nvidia binary drivers? [03:54] nickrud: xserver-xgl runs really slow thouhg [03:54] help with GFXboot.. please?? [03:54] nickrud: i tried it, but it was even slower than using the generic drivers [03:54] m0u5e: that's how you get compiz with sis I read [03:55] nickrud: :( [03:55] m0u5e: it's also why I'm not running compiz on my ati chip [03:55] nickrud: *sigh* [03:55] augh. I forgot which driver I needed... [03:55] how do i update amarok? its 1.4.7 and when i try to in the terminal it says it takes no arguments... [03:55] nickrud: didn't ati release source code a few months ago? [03:56] iieieie: try sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade [03:56] m0u5e: yes, but the aiglx support leaves a lot to be desired.

[04:03] i can see my xp box but can't access it [04:03] I can send printing jobs from Ubuntu to XP and that works fine, I'm just stuck on file sharing. [04:04] joh6nn: ubufox [04:04] drpcken: are you sure you have the permissions and what not all set up? i've never used samba, but i'm guessing it doesn't just give access [04:04] drpcken: do you have samba installed. [04:04] joh6nn: screenshot? [04:04] hi, i'm fairly stuck here getting the nvidia drivers to work. wonder if anybody has any troubleshooting tips. just upgraded an older (ti 4200) card to a slightly less old (fx 5200) card. [04:04] Ticonderoga: i mean do you have samba installed? [04:04] Yeah [04:04] jw144000: dude did you try to bootup? [04:04] hey real quick how do you move a pic/file to another dir [04:04] from windows? [04:04] When I rebooted my box today it took a LONG time to get to login.. maybe fschk? but I've never seen it take that long before. [04:04] lotia, yes i have sama installed [04:05] Samba is how my Ubuntu communicates with the Windows Printer [04:05] jw144000: http://askbobrankin.com/fix_mbr.html [04:05] see that explains it very well [04:05] jw144000: I went to the recovery console by pressing R, it took me to the command prompt, I typed fixboot c: and it said it couldn't find the drive [04:05] joh6nn, you mean my permissions on the xp box? [04:05] someone please help me update to amarok 1.4.8 [04:05] uid000: Did you simply install from Synaptic? [04:05] Erealz: mv path/filename newpath/newfilefame [04:05] its not letting me [04:05] masequis: i've tried several things [04:05] drpcken: i'm just taking shots in the dark. but yeah, on both the XP box, and in the samba config files [04:05] I have a serious problem, I have followed all the instructions to install Ubuntu with Vista ... but it still bugging, I installed grub into the disk where ubuntu is installed and I use EasyBCD to modify the boot.ini of windows to access to grub [04:05] masequis: here's how it went [04:05] drpcken: i'm guessing they'd have to be synched [04:05] I seriously don't know how to do now ... [04:06] uid000: mmm.. what card was it again? [04:06] iieieie, first run sudo apt-get remove amarok [04:06] it /was/ a ti 4200, and is now a fx 5200 [04:06] iieieie, then run sudo apt-get install amarok [04:06] joh6nn: any idea for me? [04:06] that should put the latest on for you [04:06] i did it today [04:06] i need help building a sinister LKM [04:06] hanophix33: can you upload a screenshot of what you're seeing somewhere? [04:06] amarok is the best ;) [04:07] drpcken: isn't 1.4.7 the latest in the repos? [04:07] masequis: before removing the old card, i disabled the restricted driver in the restricted driver applet, reenabling 'nv' [04:07] poningru: I typed the fixboot command after I went to the recovery console and it said it couldn't find the drive [04:07] never mind [04:07] joh6nn: to where? [04:07] then i installed the new card and then reinstalled the restricted driver. [04:07] jw144000: if the fixmbr thing 'did nothing' I am pretty sure that means it was done [04:07] I didn't see the link you posted [04:07] hanophix33: anywhere you have access to. if you haven't got anywhere to upload it, no worries [04:07] jw144000: http://askbobrankin.com/fix_mbr.html [04:07] nickrud, yes you are right, i just checked and mines 1.4.7 [04:08] jw144000: pretty sure it was fixed [04:08] nickrud, oops :) [04:08] jw144000: try booting from that hdd [04:08] does anyone play World of Warcraft on their linux box? [04:08] drpcken: but you were right, that's the correct way to get the latest _supported_ amarok ;) [04:08] masequis: i have tried using synaptic to completely remove all nvidia drivers and reinstall them [04:08] nickrud, second day using Ubuntu, i'd say that was pretty good advice ;) [04:08] thnx [04:09] masequis: i'm at wit's end [04:09] poningru: I still get the grub error [04:09] uid000: mmm.. what error are you getting? [04:09] joh6nn: i dont have anywhere to put it [04:10] jw144000: try it with the fixmbr but without the C: [04:10] masequis: in syslog, i'm getting: [04:10] Feb 7 22:24:23 kessel kernel: [ 43.985995] NVRM: RM/client version mismatch!!

[04:16] Starnestommy: yeah I know and I can't really correct it [04:16] iieieie: you may need to wait until 1.4.8 gets in the repositories. 1.4.7 should be fine.

[04:16] iieieie, 1.4.7 is the latest Amarok avaible from Ubuntu repositories, if you want to use 1.4.8 you need to compile it from source by yourself or just wait until 1.4.8 gets in the repositories.

[04:27] hanophix33: yeah, i figured as much. the only thing that's wrong then, is just that 1024x768 isn't the optimal resolution for your monitor. try setting it at a higher resolution [04:27] otherwise,,, you just have to live with it [04:28] and more importantly, how can i stop it?

I am highly impressed [04:31] jorje_villafan, sorry man... im not sure then. im not too good with onboard video etc. [04:31] Welcome [04:31] <_Oz_> The only thing I can't do is run Photoshop [04:31] <_Oz_> Everything else works like a charm. [04:31] _oz_: will you ever turn back to the dark side [04:31] _oz_: have u tried WINE? [04:31] _Oz_, can you run photoshop through wine? [04:31] !wine [04:31] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [04:31] <_Oz_> hano: unfortunately, I am running an XP desktop to my right. :) [04:31] Webu, i'm not sure. i might have done something to shorewall to block dhcp but the rest of my gentoo machines stiff get ips [04:31] Np, I'll try to look it up now anyways [04:31] <_Oz_> Yes, I'm running WINE. I can't get PS CS2 to run correctly in it. [04:31] _Oz_: one version of photoshop runs in wine [04:31] poningru: brb [04:32] jw144000: I dont think it found the windows drive [04:32] No, it didn't [04:32] _oz_: i thought there recent update fixed that [04:32] It didn't find it [04:32] I run all my windows apps via VMware server and 2Xapplication server [04:32] _Oz_: See the people in #Winehq they can help you dial it in [04:32] <_Oz_> jack sparrow: CS2? I found a tutorial, but I can't get it to work the way the tutorial suggested. [04:32] jw144000: what windows version is it? [04:32] its not vista is it? [04:32] Windows XP Home Edition [04:32] that way there is no need for dual booting [04:32] uid000: Have you tried uninstalling the linux-restricted-modules package? [04:32] No [04:32] <_Oz_> Thanks, Jacj [04:32] <_Oz_> Jack [04:32] np [04:32] masequis: sadly, yes. [04:32] connnky, (avahi is a package so it's a feature, it just tries to set you some kind of an IP i believe) [04:32] jw144000: not the cd but the one in your hdd === awalton__dos is now known as awalton__ [04:33] boleh kenalan gak [04:33] poningru: The Windows in my HDD is Win XP Home Edition [04:33] thanks guys for the info [04:33] joh6nn: did u see my last link [04:33] masequis: is is so frustrating. it should be so trivial [04:33] I have a question is there a quicktime equivalent program on ubuntu? [04:33] hanophix33: yeah man. that sucks [04:33] I'm currently running standard Gutsy. If I were to install the server version, would I lose my users, packages, and other data? [04:33] connnky, you might try to run "sudo dhclient ethX", replace X with # of your eth interface :) [04:33] i think you're just SOL [04:33] joh6nn: yea [04:33] <_Oz_> One other Q: is there any way to get a laptop w/ integrated wireless card onto my network? [04:33] can anyone help me with the firefix problem? [04:33] <_Oz_> Ubuntu's biggest weakness seems to be wireless networking [04:33] uid000: yeah.. I've felt lucky that my nvidia installs have gone smoothy.. [04:33] _0 [04:33] I'm trying to get a certain wen sites but they won't work unless I have quicktime [04:33] _Oz_: whats going on with u [04:34] _Oz_: what kind of wireless chip does your laptop have? [04:34] does ext3 get fragmented like ntfs? [04:34] _Oz_, that is all LInux's biggest weakness especially when it comes to wpa [04:34] jw144000: I dont know what to tell you [04:34] masequis: yeah, they generally do which is why i always buy nvidia [04:34] <_Oz_> I have a desktop computer with a PCI wireless card but I can't get the card to work. [04:34] Jack_Sparrow: http://mosaicwd.hypermart.net/Screenshot-1.png [04:34] <_Oz_> It's a Linksys card. [04:34] i dont have any problem with wireless [04:34] oboy03: ext3 will fragment much much more slowly than ntfs [04:34] _Oz_: Dont blame us, blame the mfg's that dont supply drivers.. Yes you can get wifi to work.. [04:34] jw144000: what you can do is re install grub [04:34] !grub [04:34] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:34] oboy03: so yes, it will fragment, but for most things, you won't need to worry about it [04:34] masequis: i've just never tried swapping out one card for another on a system before [04:34] <_Oz_> Jack: I'm not blaming anyone... Ubuntu is GREAT! ... I just wish I could get online wirelessly. [04:34] _Oz_: ndiswrapper, windows driver installer [04:34] hanophix33: What am I looking at [04:34] oic [04:34] thanks [04:34] <_Oz_> Yeah, I tried ndiswrapper, hano... [04:35] poningru: Where do I type !grub at [04:35] Webu, yah tried that a few times, avahi keeps coming back and dhclient still wont talk to my dnsmasq [04:35] <_Oz_> the card is kind of old. That's probably why I can't get it to work. [04:35] Jack_Sparrow: Firefox fonts screwing up formatting [04:35] jw144000: hehe no [04:35] <_Oz_> It's an 801.11b card [04:35] uid000: I just did it a few days ago.. and I didn't even have the forsight to uninstall the driver before.. of course.. maybe that's why mine worked? [04:35] <_Oz_> not even G [04:35] jw144000: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [04:35] jack_sparrow: or firefox screwing something up [04:35] oh man! i did "sudo rm -rf /" in ubuntu (without quotes)! It's the best command ever! I'm SO HAPPY NOW! :D [04:35] jw144000: reinstall the grub [04:35] hanophix33: Only in firefox? [04:35] I have a intel GMA X3100 graphik-chip and I wanna switch to the second connected screen of my laptop eithout restarting the X-server, please help? [04:35] then have it try to autodetect windows [04:35] uid000: I went from a 7600gt to an 8600gt.. [04:36] Jack_Sparrow: havent tried anything else [04:36] uid000: just swapped them and booted.. [04:36] <_Oz_> One thing I'm still kinda clueless on is the file structure. Is there a simple, easy to read, easy to understand document that explains how Ubuntu's file structure works? I installed Office 2003 via Crossover and I can't figure out where in the hell the files are installed. :) [04:36] Jack_Sparrow: ctrl +- doesnt do much until fonts are unreadable [04:36] can i make a recovery point without using CD or dvd? [04:36] hanophix33: I am thinking you lost your window decorator... I would check with the people in #Compiz [04:36] I have a question is there a quicktime equivalent program on ubuntu?I'm trying to get a certain wen sites but they won't work unless I have quicktime === Veinor is now known as Veinor|away [04:36] _Oz_: are you coming from a different linux distro, or from windows? [04:37] Jack_sparrow: gracias [04:37] np [04:37] <_Oz_> from windows [04:37] Hi all, I lost audio after force quitting mythtv while playing a DVD using AC3 passthrough. All audio is through an external receiver. This has happened before and I resorted to reinstalling. Any suggestions as to how to fix this? [04:37] <_Oz_> I am relatively clueless on linux [04:37] connnky, i see, avahi is just a failsafe, looks like your DHCP doesn't answer. Your ethernet interface should be ok and working (ifconfig)? [04:37] _Oz_, i suggest the book "Running Linux" [04:37] masequis: i wish this had got that easily [04:37] poningru: I'm a newbie to Linux and I don't want to screw anything up [04:37] jw144000: I still think that the windows cd should be able to do fixmbr [04:37] <_Oz_> Is Ubuntu the most popular flavor of Linux OS' these days? [04:37] you should retry it [04:37] masequis: i think the gefororce 5xxx and the 4xxx must not use the same driver [04:37] poningru: BTW, I never saw an option to install grub when I installed Ubuntu on the external HDD [04:38] _oz_: we enjoy it, obviously [04:38] _Oz_: then i'll try and make it as simple as i can: "/" is roughly equal "C:\". [04:38] _Oz_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training Might be of use [04:38] _Oz_, based upon the channel listing at the moment this is the most popular channel.. so? [04:38] do you type fixmbr and then the drive? [04:38] jw144000: I think that was my fault you were supposed to press advanced button [04:38] I don't think my question is being understood. I have instead, drawn up a diagram of the problem, including snap shots from both ends. http://www.techsonic.net/images/issue01.png [04:38] _Oz_: Welcome.. but you're going to say unholy words for a half a year.. but in the end.. you'll come to love it. [04:38] yeah try the training manuals its very informative im reading it ryt now [04:38] /etc is rougly equal to the registry; it's where most of your configuration and setup files get stored. /home/yourname is like My Documents [04:39] masequis, i still say unholy words [04:39] poningru: So try fixmbr and not fixboot? [04:39] jw144000: yeah [04:39] poningru: And include the drive name? [04:39] and /usr is roughly equivalent to C:\Program Files [04:39] uid000: THe very ugly alternative is to download the driver... [04:39] jw144000: no dont think so [04:39] <_Oz_> joh6nn: thanks for the / to c:/ comparison :) [04:39] masequis: i might try that. [04:39] does anyone know how i can update libgpod to be 0.6.0? [04:39] <_Oz_> I have some very minor linux sysadmin experience so I understood that. [04:39] http://www.computerhope.com/fixmbr.htm [04:39] masequis: if all else fails to a clean install of the whole OS [04:39] poningru: So if that doesn't work, and I still get this grub error, what should I do? [04:39] _Oz_: no problem [04:39] uid000: frustrating tho that it works on a new install.. some package is hosed.. [04:39] <_Oz_> But where does Crossover install Office 2003? It drives me nuts that I can't find the files. [04:40] poningru: It sounds like I won't have a choice but to reformat and reinstall everything [04:40] _Oz_: you comfortable on the command line? [04:40] jw144000: uh... no just reinstall the mbr [04:40] I have a question is there a quicktime equivalent program on ubuntu?I'm trying to get a certain wen sites but they won't work unless I have quicktime [04:40] Webu, i think maybe if i can stop avahi from starting at boot i will have better luck debugging. so heres a noob question: how to i control startup services from the command line in ubuntu? [04:40] master boot record [04:40] singlesun: me too.. but not as frequently :) Ubuntu is like cake compared to some of those early distros. [04:40] _Oz_, a little suggestion is going to Places > Home and then in the menu telling it to "show hidden files" [04:40] poningru: BRB again [04:40] Evidently there's a "super" key... where is it? Is it the Windows key between ctrl and alt? [04:41] masequis, you are telling me... lol i just got done messing with slack and gentoo a few minutes ago... lol [04:41] BetaTest, yes [04:41] yes [04:41] <_Oz_> singlesun: yeah, already did that, that's how I found .wine [04:41] please someone help me update libgpod to 0.6.0 [04:41] Oh, thank you [04:41] how can i copy my kde session to a test one so if I lose my panels and k-menu, i can delete the test session? [04:41] <_Oz_> thank you though [04:41] <_Oz_> I have to say, I am really impressed [04:41] <_Oz_> I am a disenchanted windows user [04:41] i enabled all the repositories [04:41] but it still wont let me update to the latest ver. [04:41] <_Oz_> I like XP well enough, but vista pushed me over the cliff [04:41] masequis: i found some nvidia kernel modules that didn't get removed when i purged the package and dpkg tells me they don't belong to anyone. i'm deleting them now. maybe that'll do it. [04:41] <_Oz_> I installed Ubuntu as a lark and wasn't expecting much [04:42] <_Oz_> turns out it's a highly effective, highly stable OS which allows me to do everything except run photoshop [04:42] !info libgpod [04:42] Package libgpod does not exist in gutsy [04:42] uid000: wow... [04:42] <_Oz_> I won't upgrade anymore with M$'s path [04:42] <_Oz_> no more Vista. [04:42] _Oz_ gimp roxx [04:42] libgpod-common [04:42] <_Oz_> So I have to make a choice. [04:42] _oz_: i thinking about switching all my comps over [04:42] <_Oz_> Either Linux, or Mac. [04:42] connnky, ouch i'm not so sure about that, maybe someone else knows that better :/ Make sure you don't block ports 67 and 68, they're usually used for DHCP. [04:42] flake: i don't understand your question [04:42] Why not run Linux on a Mac? [04:42] _Oz_: Learn gimp... IT is a little clunky but realy works once you know it [04:43] Anyone have any suggestions for my lost audio problem? [04:43] _Oz_: apple wants MORE money than MS tho.. but they have a level of quality.. [04:43] Jack_Sparrow: is gimp better than PS? [04:43] <_Oz_> Being that I'm a Windows guy and used to how that works, it seems Linux is a better fit rather than Mac. Mac is a little too... fruity for me. Linux seems like it's built and supported by people who treat computers as tools, not touchy-feely lifestyle devices. [04:43] fruity... haha [04:43] let me ask another way.. i want to add kpfx or whatever it's called to try it out, will have to remove panel and remove main panel - can I get them back if for some reason the kpfx disappears? [04:43] i need libgpod 0.6.0 for my ipod to work [04:43] <_Oz_> Jack: yeah, thanks for that tip about Gimp, but I've been using Photoshop for 10 years. I absolutely must run it. I can't switch. [04:43] but for some reason i cant get it [04:43] hanophix33: It gets the job done, it is just things are not where I was used to finding them [04:43] * singlesun makes notation that Mac is fruity [04:44] cause i like my kde3 setup, it's prefect [04:44] _Oz_: fruity indeed.. but awfully shinny fruit.. I've been tempted.. tempted my fried. [04:44] _Oz_: if you try the gimp, be sure to try the gimpshop version of it, or you'll be lost [04:44] _Oz_: Same here, I need PS.....I cant do without it === gouki_ is now known as gouki [04:44] <_Oz_> gimpshop? where can I find that? [04:44] in the repo? [04:44] Hm... I just installed Compiz Fusion, but now all of the eye candy is gone, like the wobbly windows and the whatnot, even though the Extra visual effect is selected [04:44] <_Oz_> Yeah, I guess it's not even worth discussing. I absolutely must be able to run Photoshop. [04:44] _Oz_: http://www.gimpshop.com/ [04:44] Any way of getting them back? [04:44] need help installing libgpod 0.6.0 [04:44] I have a question is there a quicktime equivalent program on ubuntu?I'm trying to get a certain wen sites but they won't work unless I have quicktime [04:44] <_Oz_> I understand that Crossover supports PS 7.0 at the "silver" (rather than gold) compatibility level which isn't good enough. [04:45] uid000: spinning cubes yet? [04:45] hanophix33: I prefer corel... to any of them.. [04:45] Webu, got it sorted, thanks man [04:45] if i have a symbolic link for java libjavaplugin_oji.so can i remove the link libjavaplugin.so? [04:45] good evening, i need some help [04:45] <_Oz_> I think the lowest I could go is Photoshop CS2. [04:45] connnky, but in general avahi shouldn't do anything since you can assign as many virtual interfaces to a physical interface you want (eth0:1, eth0:2, eth0:3). eth0 will stay as the main physical interface. [04:45] _Oz_: www.gimpshop.com. : ) alternatively, try Pixel: http://www.kanzelsberger.com/pixel/?page_id=12 [04:45] i created an extended partition, i mounted it but can't wrtie to it, any ideas why? [04:45] <_Oz_> I found a tutorial explaining how PS2 could run under Ubuntu but I just can't make it go despite the explicit instructions. Just doesn't seem to work for me. [04:45] masequis: that didn't do the trick. but i'm trying something else. something i noticed on the fresh install gave me an idea [04:45] connnky, oh that's great to hear, no problem :) [04:45] Still looking for help restoring my audio, anybody? [04:45] it has a lost+found folder and that's it ... [04:45] jrib: sorry my battery died. I am the guy with virtualbox problem. I should say however that vmware isnt working either so its not a virtualbox specific problem. heres a screenshot of my vbox error though. http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/2985/screenshotdr2.png any suggestions? [04:45] hey, why isn't Sudo asking me for a password when I sudo? [04:45] That doesn't seem secure... [04:45] uid000: oohh... do share if it works.. [04:46] nemilar, maybe because u already typed the password once? [04:46] nemilar, it caches your pass for a few minutes [04:46] nemilar - there is a timeout.. [04:46] Guren: no, it just doesn't ask [04:46] [ACPI] What is meant by 'trap' in the following sentence: "This usually causes some sort of system management trap, which makes sure that the memory is put in self-refresh mode and actually sequences the machine into suspend."? [04:46] anyone knows how my gutsy pidgin dont show any icons? [04:46] Guren: Probably permissions problem.... just for fun.. try gksudo nautilus and see if you can write to it [04:46] flake connnky it doesn't ask at all [04:46] nemilar, type whoami on the command line [04:46] nemilar: you have already entered the super user pw at some point. [04:46] are you already root? [04:46] crimeboy: It is in the pull down menu or the upper task bar === Veinor|away is now known as Veinor [04:46] masequis no i haven't, and sudo doesn't ask for the superuser password, it asks for your user's passwod [04:46] connnky: no, I am not root [04:46] <_Oz_> is there a way to stop ubuntu from asking me for a password whenever I access the filesystem or system tools? [04:47] nemilar: ah.. right. [04:47] lol _Oz_ you and I need to switch places [04:47] nemilar, have you messed with the sudoers file? [04:47] Hi! i have HP Bussiness Series 6720s laptop, and i just plugged in the ethernet cable, problem is that it doesnt recognise the network, even tried by setting static ip.... [04:47] wait for 8.04, _\ [04:47] nemilar: the sudo'rs [04:47] <_Oz_> nemilar: heheheh [04:47] wait for 8.04, _Oz_ [04:47] does anyone use AWN? [04:47] Jack_Sparrow, u .. nothing happened? [04:47] _Oz_ - you don't want to do that unless you're not connected to a network and no one else has access to your puter [04:47] connnky: no [04:47] _Oz_: You will find that you hit that problem less as you learn more about what goes where [04:47] Jack_Sparrow: both [04:47] masequis: i think i have something [04:47] <_Oz_> how soon will 8.04 come out? and, can I upgrade from within ubuntu or must I install anew? [04:47] masequis: checking... [04:48] april 2008 [04:48] %sudo ALL=(ALL) ALL @ connnky masequis [04:48] hey hey hey, quem ler isso vira gay! [04:48] nemilar, you go tme man [04:48] april (that is, 04) [04:48] _Oz_: April [04:48] I have a question is there a quicktime equivalent program on ubuntu?I'm trying to get a certain wen sites but they won't work unless I have quicktime [04:48] <_Oz_> OK, Jack [04:48] root can write to it [04:48] Jaza, Totem [04:48] crimeboy: Then I dont understand the question === cE_cRi_cO is now known as cE_cheerful_15 [04:48] _Oz_: you could download the alpha version -- but that is not advised [04:48] uid000: the suspense!! [04:48] _Oz_, 8 = 2008 .04 = April, 4th month :) [04:48] someone please help me install libgpod 0.6.0! [04:48] but you wouldn't want to log in as root or anything drastic, you might easily fvck something up [04:48] thanks DrFrankenstein [04:48] !helpme [04:48] Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [04:48] Have they figured out what the color scheme will be yet? [04:48] Jack_Sparrow, so do i jut chown the folder? [04:49] can someone give jw144000 this link http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=3340? [04:49] Please not orange/brown again! Anything but that! [04:49] _Oz_, upgrading from previous release shouldn't be a problem :) [04:49] he is trying to fix his mbr to windows [04:49] Jack_Sparrow, I mean the partition? [04:49] any here has used the libswt3.2-gtk-java? [04:49] <_Oz_> how do you upgrade, webu? [04:49] Jack_Sparrow: pidgin dont show any icons, show only an icon of NOIMG [04:49] <_Oz_> Is it from within Ubuntu? === flake is now known as drarem [04:49] it'll tell you when 8.04 comes out, _Oz_, and upgrading will b amatter of clicking 'upgrade' [04:49] Jaza: Yeah, sudo apt-get install quicktime I think [04:49] _Oz_, yes, just a few commands, i think you can do it from GUI as well :) [04:49] and tray icons dont show too [04:49] <_Oz_> Nice, jangari [04:49] !quicktime | Jaza [04:49] _Oz_: Ubuntu 8.04 will come out in April 2008. You can upgrade from within Ubuntu. It is preferred that you upgrade from Ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04. You do not need to install anew. [04:49] Jaza: 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 [04:49] <_Oz_> This is so superior to XP [04:49] _Oz_, or let's say you can do it even easier from GUI. [04:49] yes, yes it is nice [04:50] bah [04:50] People, play nice, I have been here way too long... wife just came home.. I MUST go.. sorry [04:50] <_Oz_> We just need better driver support [04:50] thought it would be more specific [04:50] where do I set the dnsdomainname in ubuntu? [04:50] k guys. i cant get any VM app to run. this includes vmware,virtualbox,and qemu. I know how to make a vm and have done so many times on feisty. anyone know what the problem could be? [04:50] thanks [04:50] <_Oz_> Jack [04:50] masequis: okay i think i'm in business [04:50] <_Oz_> Thanks for the help! Enjoy your evening [04:50] _Oz_, you could update from a 8.04 disc as well, but as long as you have 7.10 installed with Internet it's easier to do it within same Ubuntu :) [04:50] connnky: system->admin->network and under the dns tab [04:50] uid000: !! what'd you do!!! [04:50] if i have a symbolic link for java libjavaplugin_oji.so can i remove the link libjavaplugin.so? [04:50] actually i get them to run just not power on a VM [04:50] I'm trying to install build-essential with apt-get, but it tells me to change de ubuntu CD-ROM... isn't it possible to install it via internet? [04:50] poningru, i dont have access to a gui [04:51] whats the trick to getting flash working in firefox after todays update that broke it [04:51] <_Oz_> Webu: that's what I really like about 7.10 (although it's the only version I've used). Everything is so seamless. Install programs and updates right from the interface. [04:51] can anyone help me? [04:51] I'm currently running standard Gutsy. If I were to install the server version, would I lose my users, packages, and other data? (Sorry for the repost, not sure what the statue of reiteration is..) [04:51] poningru: I typed in fixmbr at the Recovery Console and it didn't work [04:51] <_Oz_> I installed it on my wife's old Dell desktop. Gave it new life. It easily has the power to run Ubuntu. [04:51] connnky: /etc/resolv.conf [04:51] esoterik: i just installed it from the site [04:51] _Oz_, that's nice to hear :) [04:51] jw144000: are you using ubuntu live cd right now? [04:51] do this: http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=3340 [04:51] poningru: Yes [04:51] how do i install libgpod 0.6.0 [04:51] ogre: which, the nonfree flash? [04:51] masequis: although i /do not/ understand what is causing this. when i did the fresh install, and i looked at lsmod, i saw that i2c_viapro (which is probably specific to my motherboard's chipset) was loaded and depended on nvidia [04:51] like so: [04:51] anyone care to help me on setting up my internet? [04:52] I'm having driver issue.... well mainly desktop effects not wanted to enable.... driver is working... i got my resolution and it detected the monitor [04:52] uid000: wow... what the hell is that.. [04:52] esoterik: there is directions o there. just choose flashplayer for linux [04:52] masequis: no i'm sorry not depening on nvidia, but loaded nonetheless [04:52] poningru, interesting. is that the only place? i just have my name server info in there. [04:52] connnky: yes that is the only place [04:52] poningru, i'm hoping it isnt getting the incorrect info from that... sigh [04:52] all right, i'm tired [04:52] i had desktop effects working before but now I'm on a different monitor and I can't get it to work [04:52] night [04:52] poningru, ok thanks man [04:52] * joh6nn waves [04:52] connnky: how do you have it there? [04:52] Jack_Sparrow, figured it out, just needed to change permision in nautilus, thx [04:52] esoterik: a much more reliable way is to download and install it directly from adobe [04:53] poningru: So what do I do now? [04:53] Cursed_6_ds, feel free to tell a bit more of your configuration :) [04:53] jw144000: did you see that link I linked to? [04:53] jw144000: http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=3340 [04:53] read that [04:53] well anyone know why graphic driver appears to be working but desktop effect fail to enable??? [04:53] masequis: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55170/ [04:53] jangari: it was working fine until the update today, just wondering if reinstalling flash fixed it for people [04:53] poningru, my resolve.conf: search xxx.homeip.net nameserver 192.168.0.1, but my dnsdomainname command gives me rentspot.com [04:54] however, i2c_viapro isn't getting loaded automatically now [04:54] psycholvlan: which drivers? [04:54] nvidia... [04:54] gparted and fdisk can't "open" my sd card [04:54] I used envy to install them... [04:55] only way i can get them working [04:55] masequis: if i unload nvidia with "rmmod nvidia" then depmod -a, the modprobe invidia, the i2c_viapro gets loaded. [04:55] i had it working at home... i brought my computer to my friends and using a different monitor [04:55] dunno, esoterik, i never have flash problems anymore, i used to get them all the time [04:55] masequis: and all is good [04:55] i'm not sure if the monitor even it is detected or the graphic driver updated it self and the updated one has issues [04:56] pyrak: hmm what does dmesg say? [04:56] uid000: wow.. I would tihnk that would happen when x loads it? [04:56] poningru: When I tried to install the ms-sys package, it said it couldn't find it [04:57] k guys. i cant get any VM app to play the virtual machine this includes vmware,virtualbox,and qemu. I know how to make a vm and have done so many times on feisty. anyone know what the problem could be? [04:57] also... under nvidia settings... under OpenGL/GLX Information it said Fail to query the GLX server vendor [04:57] Hello all, I'm running ubuntu 6.06 and the software i'm trying to install (zimbra) requires that I install "libperl". But when trying to apt-get libperl it tells me that it can't find it. Does anybody know what this is and how I can install it? [04:57] uid000: well, now I bet you feel like a victory gin.. [04:57] masequis: well the nvidia km is gettting loaded. however it is supposed to depend on i2c_core, which for some reason, isnt' getting loaded [04:58] masequis: 1984 reference? [04:58] uid000: indeed. [04:58] how do i install libgpod 0.6.0!? [04:58] so noone know how to fix nvidia-glx issues? [04:58] masequis: chocolate rations have just been increased. [04:58] uid000: You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane. [04:58] we have always been ar war with Microsoft. we have always been allied with Debian. [04:58] What is meant by 'trap' in the following sentence: "This usually causes some sort of system management trap, which makes sure that the memory is put in self-refresh mode and actually sequences the machine into suspend."? [04:58] poningru, see pm [04:59] jw144000: are you connected to internet? [04:59] masequis: know, understand, AND accept. [04:59] yeah [04:59] hi [04:59] jw144000: do you have mutliverse enabled? [04:59] plus when i type in compiz under the terminal I get this [04:59] Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present. [04:59] Trying again with indirect rendering: [04:59] Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present. [04:59] aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity [04:59] psycholvlan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:59] poningru: It's unchecked [04:59] I don't have it enable [04:59] masequis: still don't know what to do, though. the i2c_core dependency isn't sticking across reboots [04:59] I don't have it enabled [04:59] jw144000: enable it [05:00] then install it [05:00] uid000: I have to admit I only know how to fumble around with modules when I have to.. I'm not really sure how all the dependancies get worked out. [05:00] i wonder if anyone has ubuntu working on a mac with boot camp and parallels from the same partition. i am sure using a lot of space and dealing with a lot of awkwardness having a 10G parallels vm and a 10G native partition.. [05:01] also i have found limited information via google, and wonder if there is any well known documentation on booting from a ZFS volume [05:01] poningru: It still says it can't find it [05:02] from what i can tell, right now, re: parallels + boot camp, the install i performed for boot camp throws a grub prompt asking for the kernel location when i try to boot it in parallels. [05:02] poningru: it says it can't find the package ms-sys [05:02] i sort of wonder if perhaps parallels isn't just seeing that individual partition as a whole drive, maybe i need two boot options in grub for the two environments? [05:02] anyone know how current ThinkPad T61s handle latest Ubuntu? [05:02] hey guys is there a way so i don't see KDE's apps on my GNOME menus? thx [05:02] jw144000: uh... my ubuntu found it [05:02] video/suspend/hibernate? [05:03] jw144000: go to synaptic [05:03] what do you see there? [05:03] you can remove anything from the menus albertolempira, in system > administration > main menu [05:03] uid000: I've been known to be so crude as to add modprobes to init.d scripts. :) [05:03] hello [05:03] albertolempira: you can probably edit the menus by hand, but it's been a long running goal for both KDE and GNOME communities, and for distros like ubuntu, to help people to use the disparate suite of apps offered by both communities and more.. [05:03] iam dana [05:04] poningru: synaptic? where is that [05:04] e.g. not every app in GNOME or KDE necessarily has a corresponding app built on the other tech. [05:04] masequis: yeah, i've done that in rc.local once or twice. usually /etc/modules gets it though [05:04] jw144000: system->admin->synaptic [05:04] and in many cases you'll find good apps which are not built specifically with either stack. [05:04] Swat is even more confusing then Samba. [05:04] Jangari: thanks, iguess it was a dumb question [05:04] not really, [05:05] bitmonk: yea, i think you're right... well, thanks [05:05] Ticonderoga: isn't swat a configurator for samba? [05:05] unless you wanted to maintain two different sessions, one KDE with KDE apps and one Gnome with Gnome apps, which is a little more difficult to do without creating a separate login, [05:05] poningru: I don't see ms-sys [05:05] oranye_: hi [05:05] okay, it's time to drink alcohol, bye [05:06] jw144000: do you have the universe checked? [05:06] You know what, I found a way to connect to my Windows computer from Ubuntu and I didn't even need Samba. Lol Places > Connect to server... It friggin mounted it and I am granted access. [05:06] and press reload [05:06] poningru: No, I don't have universe checked [05:06] ... [05:06] apt-get me -a beer [05:06] thats why [05:06] Tgif: what? pssh get it yourself [05:06] k guys. i cant get any VM app to play the virtual machine this includes vmware,virtualbox,and qemu. I know how to make a vm and have done so many times on feisty. anyone know what the problem could be? heres a screenshot of virtualbox error http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/2985/screenshotdr2.png please please please please please please please please please [05:08] hay.. i'm struggling to get videos to play. totem player says it can't handle divx and mplayer had some screen saver problem but played the video without sound... then after i installed mpeg libraries it wouldnt play any more... any ideas? [05:08] poningru: For whatever reason, the instructions on this page said to uncheck universe [05:08] L33tCh: use vlc [05:09] jw144000: what? what page? [05:09] ok... will a simple, apt-get install vlc give me all i need? [05:09] poningru: The link you gave me, but it's installing it now, n/m [05:09] L33tCh: yes [05:09] hey after instaling eclipse-java eclipse its not in the menu [05:09] any help [05:09] thank you :) [05:09] jw144000: no checking it off means actually checking it [05:09] enable the universe!! [05:09] no prob [05:09] grr [05:10] albertolempira: my experience with free desktops is that you can always edit some text or xml file by hand. it's been a while since i've used one primarily but i'm sure that's largely true. [05:10] and there are probably gui editors. pretty sure gnome has a menu editor for years now. [05:10] does anyone know how to fix nvidia-glx issues? [05:11] k guys. i cant get any VM app to play the virtual machine this includes vmware,virtualbox,and qemu. I know how to make a vm and have done so many times on feisty. anyone know what the problem could be? heres a screenshot of virtualbox error http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/2985/screenshotdr2.png please please please please please please please please please [05:11] * Oxygenetik dresses yellow and hunts some grues [05:11] L33tCh: I prefer mplayer. === meeper_ is now known as meeper [05:12] poningru: When I type in the command to fix the mbr, should I type in -m to write the Windows XP MBR? [05:12] ok i guess noone knows... just hope it works when i get home [05:12] This is something strange. I uninstalled a specific program from wine but the menu entry for the program is not removed. It's still there. === chaky_ is now known as chaky [05:13] jw144000: do exactly what that page says [05:13] Hello. Need help making SFV files from multiple parted rar files. [05:13] Hello, colleagues!!! [05:13] Tell me please, how to lock "Name" column in Nautilus in some width, that it would be not resizable by itself? [05:13] Someone pm me please [05:13] jw144000: sudo ms-sys –mbr /dev/sda [05:14] im scared [05:14] Lame question I know, but how do I get rid of that annoying background image in the window decorations? [05:14] poningru, thanks :) I was looking for that a couple minutes ago. [05:14] Can someone tell me who to remove the menu entry for a program that has already been uninstalled in wine? [05:14] Roy [05:14] Rightclick > Aplications >Edit Menus [05:14] sudo iwconfig eth1 ap MAC doesn't switch me to a different AP like it should, why not [05:15] That's how you choose which to keep and which to delete. [05:15] sier: err what? [05:15] Thank you papuccino1 :) [05:15] No prob. [05:15] Still need help making SFV files, Can anyone help me out? [05:15] poningru, the mbr thing.. [05:15] sier: oh cool [05:16] poningru: My windows partition is on sda2 [05:16] what can Suse do that ubuntu can't? [05:16] papuccino1: That way I can hide a menu entry which has been uninstalled but how can I delete them? [05:16] Can't figure out how to lock "Name" column in Nautilus in some width, that it would be not resizable by itself? [05:16] Hey, where does ubuntu put images after I import them from my camera dudes? [05:16] mikedoty, somewhere in you home folder [05:16] jw144000: no just do sda [05:16] not partition [05:16] SOMEWHERE YOU BELONG!! [05:16] Can anyone suggest software to blog with? What I mean is, like Windows Live Writer for Windows.. what are my options? [05:17] Hm, ok. It must not have imported them for some reason. thanks =) [05:17] mikedoty: most likely in your user home Pictures dir. [05:17] Dezine: Maybe it's Flock browser? [05:18] Hm, I could use that. [05:18] poningru: I just did it and it wouldn't do anything but give me a list of commands [05:18] But in that case I think blogging right into wordpress would be the same. [05:18] Roy, rightclick the item you want to delete, and click delete xD [05:18] Can you blog with OpenOffice? [05:18] Oh! Thanks papuccino1 :) [05:18] Dezine: you can blog with anything. Blogging is just typing text. [05:19] Well.. I want to be able to post from the software. [05:19] <_Oz_> Is there any way to get actual M$ Word and Excel icons for Office 2003 progs running in Crossover? Dumb, I know, but the wife would appreciate the familiarity. [05:19] got a kernel module question for the general audience: i'm having a problem where the nvidia proprietary kernel module isn't being loaded in the right order, and it breaks X. if, after boot, i rmmod nvidia && modprobe nvidia, then everything is fine. any suggestions on what's going on here, or how to troubleshoot? [05:19] jw144000: yeah use -m [05:19] well... copy&paste takes just seconds, right? [05:19] I dont think you did a double -- [05:19] Oz, search for the icon pack "microsoft office" [05:19] I guess I'll Google, thanks! [05:19] You can then just change the icon of the program in Ubuntu. [05:19] any obvious reason why wireless would work with WPA but not on unencrypted wifi? [05:20] softtower, www.creedthoughts.gov.www\creedthoughts LMAO [05:20] Dezine: i see 2 apps when opening Synaptic and entering Blogging as a search term: Drivel and BloGTK [05:20] poningru: so it would be sudo ms-sys -mbr /dev/sda -m [05:20] sigh [05:21] jw144000: sudo ms-sys -m /dev/sda [05:21] is anyone running hdhomerun over wifi? [05:21] anyone have opinions on dell laptops? - - namely dell xps 1330? [05:22] why i have to download the ecp;ise source to install the eclipse? [05:22] what can suse do that Ubuntu can't! [05:22] I have a really ugly image showing beneath my window decorations, any idea how to get rid of it? [05:22] <_Oz_> where should I save the icon pack to? (for M$ office) [05:22] KiD_ChAoS: nothing [05:22] <_Oz_> I'm not clear on how to reassign the icons, or where to store the icon pack. [05:22] ? [05:22] dezine you can also install a firefox plugin that allows you to blog from the lower half of the browser window, blogfire is the name iirc [05:22] friedtofu: my room mate has the 15" model and is pleased with it [05:23] is there a problem with firefox update?

It should open a window browser where you have BIG PIMP access to everything. There ya go. [05:25] amenado: you know if mib_hoimx7d7 ever fixed his grub errors - and how? [05:25] sudo passwd root [05:26] k guys. i cant get any VM app to play the virtual machine this includes vmware,virtualbox,and qemu. I know how to make a vm and have done so many times on feisty. anyone know what the problem could be? heres a screenshot of virtualbox error http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/2985/screenshotdr2.png please please please please please please please please please [05:26] Thank you [05:26] How'd it work Oz? [05:26] ogre, you have to run it in root [05:26] <_Oz_> how do I actually change the icon? [05:26] gksu virtualbox [05:26] <_Oz_> it's the standard generic crossover icon for MS Word and I want to replace it with the icon I saved in /user/shared/icons [05:26] exactly what I was going to say Ogre. [05:26] what distro do you use bazhang ? [05:26] ogre: any reason not to get gutsy? vmware works well there--of course you need enough ram and cpu cycles to make it work well [05:26] Use root access. [05:26] hi all, to rephrase the last question. if i rmmod nvidia, before staring gdm everything is good. otherwise X won't start. what gives? [05:27] ive been using ubuntu for some time... can someone tell me more about xubuntu without me having to read all the crazy stuff... (i know its a scaled down version that uses xfce instead of gnome) but hwo different is it besides that? [05:27] It should do this by default, but just, in the launcher put gksu in front. [05:27] ogre: I think you need to install vboxdrv [05:27] ogra, running mac with virtual is not ok [05:27] bazhang: I am using gutsy [05:27] KiD_ChAoS: kubuntu, pclinuxos, mandriva, (now) wolvix, dreamlinux, mint, ms-suse, fedora (past) [05:28] How much manual configuration is needed to set-up "tutos2" ? [05:28] singlesun - i believe not only does xubuntu uses xfce, it also uses more lightweight applications... but i cant be too sure [05:28] ogre: in your question you said 'on feisty'... [05:28] uid000: you rmmod then modprobe right? [05:28] how do I kill a terminal? [05:28] bazhang: yeah i was saying it worked in feisty [05:28] uid000: remove then reload? [05:28] friedtofu, in regards to command line and everything else it still uses the same commands generally correct... its not some sick convoluted thing right? [05:28] or how do I view all terminalsr unning? [05:28] bazhang: I already have it installed, but it doesn't do anything [05:28] poningru: I'm back in Windows now. [05:28] like psaux or something? [05:29] dn4_: w or who [05:29] dn4_, try stabbing it with knife? [05:29] masequis: rmmod then modprobe works, but i discovered that i don't even have to modprobe. what I start X the nvidia modules gets inserted again automatically [05:29] ogre: sudo apt-get install vmware-server [05:29] jw144000: awesome.... [05:29] Starnestommy: its not in the repos [05:29] * poningru is going to sleep now [05:29] uid000: ah. [05:29] BetaTest: what card (graphics) and what driver [05:29] Need help creating an SFV with cksfv. Anyone out there? [05:29] basically I use a terminal [05:29] bazhang: vmware-server isnt working either [05:29] and it is fuct to all hell [05:29] poningru: Ahh....I kinda wished we could have gotten this situation with grub on my HDD figured out [05:29] so I gotta kill the terminal but I do not know what the terminal is called [05:29] <_Oz_> how do I actually change the icon? [05:29] Also, is there a SFV maker with a GUI instead of terminal only code? [05:29] <_Oz_> it's the standard generic crossover icon for MS Word and I want to replace it with the icon I saved in /user/shared/icons [05:29] so I could boot Ubuntu on the external HDD [05:29] ogre: er, try virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.22-14-generic [05:30] dn4_: GUI terminal? [05:30] so I Cannot do killall -9 terminal [05:30] yes karlNY [05:30] bazhang nVidia, and it worked just fine up until I wanted to get the cube working, so I installed Compiz-Fusion [05:30] ogre: you need to enable the canonical gutsy partner repos and install from there--also doesnt work is not very descriptive if you really want help [05:30] After installing it, it doesn't do anything [05:30] Oz, right click program link, and select properties. [05:30] HOLY EFF [05:30] poningru: But thanks for your help [05:30] BetaTest: this is gutsy? [05:30] The option for it is there Oz. [05:30] Or get the deb from the virtualbox website [05:30] I have to pay $185 dollars to renew a domain [05:30] what is the command to see all the applications running? [05:30] hello [05:30] dn4_: try CTRL+ALT+ESC and the mouse might turn into an xkill cursor [05:30] dn4_: ps aux [05:30] nVidia have a history of not being very friendly with Compiz... [05:30] Starnestommy: I have that already but it says i need vboxdrv [05:30] red__: hi [05:30] SJr|Nbook, will i be finding a dead link ... lol [05:31] dn4_: ps -ef or ps auwx [05:31] ogre: sudo modprobe vboxdrv [05:31] dead links for the win. [05:31] bazhang it is [05:31] dn4, press alt+f2 system monitor [05:31] ogre, i said running mac with vm is not ok [05:31] BetaTest: you have the nvidia or the nv driver? [05:31] Administrator: why? [05:31] Both, I believe [05:32] <_Oz_> papucinno: I see it but I only see a bunch of generic icons, no option to apply icons I downloaded [05:32] maybe coz bios things like that, it refuse to boot [05:32] now that really messed things up [05:32] BetaTest: then hit alt-f2, both drivers? that would not work [05:32] be back alter [05:32] Yes, mac probably doesn't support vm drivers. [05:32] i mean devices [05:32] Oh, sorry I misunderstood [05:32] I'm not sure which one of the two drivers I have [05:33] is there a collection of 'portable' applications that can be run off a usbdrive on any ubuntu system? [05:33] Starnestommy: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found. [05:33] i need some way to completely erase the data off this drive... i mean... completely clean... not just formatted [05:33] BetaTest: you need the nvidia drivers--which card--please be more precise than 'nvidia', e.g., 6800, 7300, 8800, etc [05:34] bazhang 6150 [05:34] any thoughts on free free drive cleaning apps that do a Good Job? [05:34] singlesun hmmmm no [05:34] singlesun, http://mirror.href.com/thestarman/asm/mbr/WIPE.html [05:34] singlesun: hammers ensure your drives get clean and stay that way [05:34] my domain registration expried and now they want 185 bucks to renew it.

[06:09] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_appliance [06:09] badkitty: I gave it a shot after vmware gave out on me and its setup script started failing. I like it a lot. more free, speedy, supports a bunch of stuff, has a kernel accelerator module. [06:10] i just looked down at my soon to be obsolete series 2 tivo... anyone know of anything I can salvage (besides hard drive) from the tivo?

FF 3 was buggin' out of me until the update yesterday, too [06:11] Aloha: that would probably be a firefox bug, rather than a gutsy bug [06:11] clinton: May I PM you?

Does Ubuntu not recognize my flash drive because it is too small? [06:12] bazhang: same for windows and linux as well [06:12] kavelot: I believe that's what the update-grub command does [06:12] !flash [06:12] 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 [06:13] Isaac_: that seems unlikely [06:13] good, thanks [06:13] Where can I find a description of kacpid? (There exists a acpid man page but no kacpid man page.) [06:13] Isaac_: you should look at the output of the 'dmesg' command to see if it says anything about your flash drive [06:13] bullgard4, is it a binary? [06:13] imbecile: no problems here--must be the source of the ##windows software--only legally obtained versions work if memory serves [06:14] !twss [06:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about twss - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:14] So it would recognize it as a viable drive in the install menu, just tell me it's too small? [06:14] hehe, dang [06:14] mouseboyx: bazhang: its not just vmware its vbox and qemu [06:14] Aloha: If you answer my question I will answer your question. [06:14] imbecile: show me a screenshot of linux in vmware and then that would help alot ;] [06:14] how would i enable direct rendering on an SGI card? [06:14] What flash drives would be good to use? [06:14] Isaac_: wait... you're trying to install Ubuntu onto a USB flash drive? [06:14] imbecile, have you rebooted since you installed it? [06:14] nemilar yes [06:14] bullgard4, i was asking because debian policy requires binaries in packages to have a man page [06:14] Isaac_: www.pendrivelinux.com has what you need ;] [06:14] !usb < Isaac_ [06:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about usb < isaac_ - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:15] Isaac_: ahh okay that is a different story ... I thought you just couldn't get your flash drive recognized inside Ubuntu [06:15] !botabuse | Creationist [06:15] Creationist: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [06:15] bazhang: it is a legal copy and like I said the bug is OS independent. i cant even GET to the install [06:15] mouseboyx: yes [06:15] Aloha: Ah, that's how ya do it. [06:15] :/ [06:15] Aloha: But I wasn't abusing him... I was trying to help. [06:15] imbecile: the linux vm not working screenshot? do you have one? [06:15] I thought it would work just like any other external hard drive install. [06:15] Assuming the flash drive was big enough [06:16] Isaac_: sadly no [06:16] Isaac_: There are tutorials on how to do it, but I apparently can't use the bot to show you where they are :). [06:16] Isaac_: http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-usb-bar have you seen this? [06:16] bazhang: okay i will make a linux vm. why the heck are you pushing it so far with the linux thing? [06:16] imbecile, I don't know what to say, if it were me i would install leporard instead of ubuntu. [06:16] !wine > do0zman [06:16] how would one enable direct rendering to their graphics card? [06:16] Can anyone point me in the right direction (or perhaps answer the question, it's relatively basic) how can I save some text so that the terminal runs the same commands every time I want to do something? [06:17] m0u5e, it depends on what graphics card you have. [06:17] Kuroachia: sounds like you want the 'alias' command [06:17] mouseboyx: an SGI [06:17] imbecile: see the /topic ? #ubuntu is linux iirc [06:17] What is the GPU? [06:17] graphics mouseboyx [06:17] What is the GPU of your card? [06:17] .... [06:18] Aloha: "Ubuntu Package Contents Search Result: You have searched for kacpid in gutsy, architecture i386. Can't find that file, at least not in that distribution and on that architecture." But kacpid is a process on my Ubuntu 7.10. [06:18] nemilar: I am making several iso's so I was hoping I could have the terminal or something automate the cycle, is that what I can do with 'alias'? [06:18] m0u5e: Nvidia, ATI, Matrox??? [06:18] Kuroachia: oh, no... that would require a script [06:18] its an SGI [06:18] I don't think there are linux drivers for it. [06:18] Kuroachia: if you don't mind spending a little time on it, you could probably hack together a bash script to do that, using some tutorials on the web, in about 5-10 minutes [06:18] bazhang: you are totally just writing it off. next you will say its an issue with vmware. its all vm apps [06:18] Well shoot! Can I still install Ubuntu to my external USB 160 gigabyte hard drive? [06:19] Isaac_: sure [06:19] nemilar: I figured as much, I was hoping to perhaps save the commands as a text document that I could then run. Bash script you say? All right, I'll take a look. Thanks! [06:19] what kind of problem are you having? [06:19] Kuroachia: that's essentially what bash script is [06:19] its a silicon integrated systems (SiS) 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter [06:19] grep vesa /etc/X11/xorg.conf m0u5e [06:19] Then why won't it work with a pen drive? I was told they had MBRs too. [06:19] I mean, why won't it work as a normal install? [06:19] If this returns something then you are using the generic driver. [06:19] m0u5e: Your kidding right? [06:19] imbecile: well using leopard which is not supported here (or anywhere) is not a good way to ask for help [06:20] badkitty: no i'm not [06:20] Isaac_: if memory serves, old flash drives don't have mbrs, or for some reason don't serve as bootable [06:20] lol @ (or anywhere) [06:20] mouseboyx: nothing [06:20] He's got the leopard man! [06:20] tcpdumpgod: i cant get any VM app to work. vmware/qemu/vbox all seem like theyre running till i try to power them on [06:20] imbecile, i'll try to help you. [06:20] m0u5e: Can that card handle direct rendering? [06:20] Can you recommend a brand that can serve as bootable? Essentially just like an external hard drive, I can install it normally? [06:20] imbecile, i know it's unix based, i can probably work w/it. [06:21] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=488185 has some stuff m0u5e [06:21] badkitty: glxinfo tells me its not enabled... don't know if it can handle it @_@; [06:21] I need help. Also I have an ubuntu question. [06:21] fattmoley: ask away [06:21] tcpdumpgod: its a distri independent error. no matter what type of vm i try to run it wont work [06:21] imbecile, you're saying that even though VMware is powered off and closed on your machine... (or anywhere)........ [06:21] Okay... so VMware works fine. [06:21] Isaac_: a brand--you mean of hdd? or a linux distro 'brand'? [06:21] But you cant run any virtual machines? [06:22] i recently installed a flash update and now flash in firefox seems to be hosed. [06:22] also what is the irc command to reply [06:22] fattmoley: a lot of people are having that problem [06:22] !flash [06:22] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [06:22] A brand of flash drive that basically I can install Ubuntu to normally, like I would install it to any disk drive. [06:22] Isaac_: ah the usb key thing? [06:22] I tried that nemilar, it never did work. [06:22] Yeah fattmoley i just experienced that just about two seconds ago. [06:22] :\ [06:22] literally. [06:22] Isaac_: that's for flash, the plugin from adobe [06:22] Im going to go to a previous version. [06:23] tcpdumpgod: yeah i cant run any. im gonna try to setup a ubuntu vm on the top of ubuntu just so bazhang understands its not cuz of leopard/xp or any of the vm apps. it IS ubuntu specific [06:23] how do you roll back to the previous flash version? [06:23] fattmoley: I think people are fixing the flash issue by installing the version from Adobe's website, but someone here should second that before you do it [06:23] how do I edit my xorg in terminal [06:23] nemilar, thats what i did/ [06:23] I'm not sure bazhang. All I know is I want a flash drive that I can install Ubuntu to (without that pen drive tutorial, which doesn't work for me for some reason). [06:24] carl: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:24] nemilar: I just did a fresh install and my flash somehow got installed.. perhaps it was the ubuntu-restricted-extras?? [06:24] So you're booting an Ubuntu vmware image correct imbecile ? [06:24] carl: or sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [06:24] Isaac_: it is not really the brand--there are several distros that allow that but it is very experimental at this point--you can buy a usb flash key with a distro pre-installed--otherwise it is pendrivelinux.com === Johanna is now known as Johann === Johann is now known as Johanna [06:24] Are there any flash drives with a normal MBR, that would be recognized as a hard drive during a normal Ubuntu install from live CD? [06:25] carl: but make SURE you make a backup of it first sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup [06:25] I see. Oh well, thanks anyway. [06:25] Isaac_, im sure there are. [06:25] Isaac_: The main thing is that your BIOS can boot to USB [06:25] imbecile: my vmware works really really well--and this is on ubuntu--I would suggest the error lies outside of ubuntu ;] [06:25] Yes, my BIOS can boot from USB. [06:25] Isaac_: Have a looksie http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-usb-bar-p2 [06:26] Editing your xorg.conf file by hand will break your X configuration even if you do everything correctly. <--- the truth [06:26] Isaac_: the tutorials there are also what some people use for the eeepc which does not have a cd drive--their webpage and wiki is at www.eeeuser.com ;] [06:26] nemilar: haha [06:26] nemilar, completely untrue. [06:26] tcpdumpgod: im running ubuntu and am trying to setup a ubuntu vm on top of it because bazhang keeps trying to blame other distros.. heres the screenshot as proof http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/5894/screenshot1rs7.png [06:26] I need tohe code to do the xorg it's self in the terminal where I can edit it in the terminal [06:26] mouseboyx: I think he was being sarcastic [06:26] i need some help installing a good media center on ubuntu with out rebooting [06:26] haha yeah.... for the most part [06:27] Hey I also have a problem with Ubuntu taking an extremely long time to boot and a blank screen until the desktop shows up [06:27] I never back up anything, lol and I have been able to fix everything [06:27] fattmoley: make sure you have updated sources. falsh and firefox was borked for me, but I just refreshed and it re-installed fine [06:27] But when I try to install Ubuntu to the flash drive, the installer doesn't recognize the flash drive as a hard drive. Are there any flash drives that will be recognized as a normal hard drive by Ubuntu during a normal install? [06:27] bazhang: http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/5894/screenshot1rs7.png that better? this is a fresh install btw (2 days old) and I have not messed anything up [06:27] Isaac_: a flash drive is not a hard drive [06:27] fattmoley: I have heard other people having that issue as well [06:27] Can it be used as a hard drive though? [06:27] carl: eh? [06:27] imbecile, have you tried here? : http://www.google.com/search?q=%22unable+to+change+virtual+machine+power+state%22&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a [06:27] brb, i need a ciggy [06:27] bazhang: like i was saying vmware worked perfectly for me as well before gutsy [06:27] Isaac_: they are both storage devices. That is all they have in common [06:27] As in, are there any flash drives that mimic hard drives? [06:28] tcpdumpgod: ill check it out thx [06:28] so... anyone know if its possible to convert something packaged for redhat 7.2 so that it could be run in ubuntu? [06:28] Isaac_: What are you saying.. did you look at my tutorial page i gave u [06:28] im fairly sure you'll find what you need there, no problem imbecile :) [06:28] Yes [06:28] I loaded compiz and now my Gnome session is borked I can switch to any app I had open before is there anyway to unfreeze it without doing a full reboot? I have some file downloading but can see how far they are alng [06:28] Several times [06:28] m0u5e, use alien. [06:28] m0u5e: the alien program will do that, but it's not recommended [06:28] http://qaz.pastebin.org/18670 [06:28] Never worked for me. I've tried it before. [06:28] google.com/search?alien+ubuntu [06:28] hmm okay thx, (the issue is that SiS only has a redhat version) [06:28] imbecile: that is an unusual looking vmware; do you have the most recent version? mine is alot recent looking in terms of interface etc [06:28] Invisible_Ubunti: might try killall -9 compiz [06:29] using the terminal, how do i switch from ubuntu to xubuntu? [06:29] m0u5e: not a good idea--what app? [06:29] Invisible_Ubunti: after that run the metacity command [06:29] could you have both deb and rpm system? [06:29] bazhang: not an app, drivers [06:29] nemilar, doesn't seem to have a effect every app i load I can't switch to once I leave it to go to a new app loaded [06:29] mouseboyx: that sounds like trouble [06:30] But cool. [06:30] m0u5e: major breakage city [06:30] bazhang: lol i know [06:30] bazhang: got it from the repos this morning [06:30] bazhang: don't see any other choice thougH :/ [06:30] using the terminal, how do i switch from ubuntu to xubuntu? [06:30] wsguede, I don't understand. [06:30] m0u5e: if they're kernel modules, then it's probably a /really/ bad idea [06:30] think so? [06:30] Oh well. Thanks y'all. Guess I'll just have to put up with this big external hard drive for an external Ubuntu install........... [06:31] bazhang: its vmware-server the only vmware they had in repos [06:31] wsguede, they may have changed it but it used to be xwmconfig i think [06:31] Isaac_: google it, dude [06:31] nemilar: lol [06:31] nemilar, any other idea's lol [06:31] Sure wish they'd make a hard drive as small as a pen drive though. Seems they could if they wanted to these days. [06:31] Invisible_Ubunti: that command did nothing? [06:31] imbecile: the canonical gutsy partner? [06:31] All I'd need is four gigs or so [06:31] mouseboyx: i have ubuntu installed, but its slow on my older machine, i want to switch to xubuntu, w/o doing the cd install [06:31] Isaac_: stop whining and GOOGLE it [06:31] Isaac_: everyone here gave you options [06:31] Oh, wsguede then sudo apt-get install xfce [06:32] Invisible_Ubunti: sudo? [06:32] Isaac_: you can buy them cough mandriva cough already preinstalled.. [06:32] Can anyone help me to install grub on this external HD of mine? I installed Gutsy on it but wound up getting a grub error, which overwrote the MBR on my internal HD (I have it fixed though) [06:32] nemilar, nothing I can't switch back to that console i have to open a new one to type anything again and I won't be able to switch back to xchat [06:32] it was pretty abysmal when I had dual RPM and DEB set up on my system [06:32] bazhang: im not sure which one it was. it was one of the default repos though. the only repo i added was reocard [06:32] Oh, wsguede then sudo apt-get install xfce4, my bad [06:32] imbecile: reocard? which one is that? [06:32] For rpm alien works plenty good enough for me [06:33] Invisible_Ubunti: ahh. you can enter commands by switching to a TTY (hold control+alt and press F3) ; then to get back to graphical control+alt+F7 [06:33] It's F7 right, not F8 [06:33] bazhang: the eyecandy one with AWN stuff. just eyecandy stuff [06:33] yeah it's f7, Invisible_Ubunti [06:33] wsguede [sudo apt-get install xfce4] everything inside brackets in a terminal. [06:33] nemilar, says Compiz: no processkilled [06:33] mouseboyx: will this erase my settings? [06:33] I don [06:33] t know. [06:33] imbecile: would you mind posting your sources list? [06:33] Invisible_Ubunti: killall -9 compiz & killall -9 compiz.real [06:33] Probably not. you will have gnome and xfce4 [06:33] mouseboyx: we will find out [06:33] then you just logout and slect xfce4 session [06:34] bazhang: I really do think its a bug. ive made plenty of vm before so i know its not that [06:34] bazhang: no problem give me a sec [06:34] whats the off-topic channel? [06:34] #ubuntu-offtopic NeT_DeMoN_ [06:34] nemilar thanks [06:34] yep [06:34] imbecile: the vmware-server is in the canonical gutsy partner if you only have the first four then perhaps you have some other version [06:35] how do I install compiz [06:35] nemilar, still the same I did ps aux and I don't see any compiz running I think just the windows settings are temp borked [06:35] So, um, does ubuntu provide support for usplash? Because, usplash doesn't seem to actually support transparency. [06:35] carl, think its installed by default [06:35] Invisible_Ubunti: do you see metacity running? [06:35] If your really worried about X11 speed then get jwm. [06:35] Kuwanger: you want to change it? want a factoid? [06:35] Invisible_Ubunti: ps aux | grep -i metacity [06:36] carl: it's already installed; if you want help using it, jion #compiz-fusion [06:36] nemilar, nope [06:36] carl pm me ill help [06:36] Invisible_Ubunti: try this, in the TTY: export DISPLAY=":0.0" && metacity --replace & [06:36] nemilar, I started it to see if it worked didn't config anything lol playing around and broke lol [06:36] bazhang: Well, I probably *will* change it. I'm just annoyed that transparent_color in usplash_pixmap means nothing. And I wonder if the "simple runlength encoding" actually exists, since I've yet to see anything use it to store the pixmap data. [06:37] nemilar, wow thnx.. what did that do? [06:37] Invisible_Ubunti: worked? [06:37] nemilar, yea, you told it to put metacity back to my display? [06:38] Invisible_Ubunti: it set your DISPLAY variable, so your TTY knew which X session to control; and them metacity ran with the command to replace any existing window managers === cfedde_ is now known as cfedde [06:38] Invisible_Ubunti: by existing I mean, currently running [06:38] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55185/ [06:38] nemilar, ok, now question if you would [06:38] shoot [06:38] Hey, i was booting up just fine, then i took my pc to school to kinda show what all ubuntu was about. Then i got home and when i connected it back up, GRUB booted back up but XP was no longer a choice. Where is the file that manages the GRUB boot menu and i am also going to need help to add my XP option for my master IDE HDD [06:38] nemilar, when I started compiz it was in a terminal why just closing it did it do that? [06:39] Invisible_Ubunti: don't ask me... I hate compiz. too buggy [06:39] kunzy, its /boot/grub/menu.lst be careful! [06:39] nemilar, that is the way it looks, just wanted to see what all the fuss was about but I don't see a + to actually using it just from looking at it didn't see any flashy or breaking graphics [06:40] mouseboyx: Thanks, i will see what i can find. I think the file itself got corrupt because i have to manually add the -noapic option manually now [06:40] lilo > grub for ease to use! [06:40] Invisible_Ubunti: if it works it can be useful/fun...some of the guys here swear by it [06:41] nemilar, I'll check it out bored while awaiting asus to actually send me a working mobo back for my main PC 3rd times the charm!! [06:41] Im having a problem with my sound. It seems every time an application that uses sound (after the sound has been played) will hang the sound, like after Banshee is finished a song it hangs, or if you try to skip a song, it hangs. Although pidgin will not hang, but sound will no longer work untill i shut down pidgin. Any thoughts???? [06:41] kunzy, that was redundant, but its something like [06:41] <kunzy> Im aiming to learn all i can so after i am comfortable with GRUB i am probably going to switch to lilo [06:42] <mouseboyx> the hd0,0 will change depending on which Hard drive it is. [06:42] <Invisible_Ubunti> kunzy, lilo is 1000x easy imo but I started Linux on slackware which is harder to use then ubuntu [06:42] <nemilar> grub > lilo [06:42] <nemilar> just 'cause it is. [06:42] <mouseboyx> does slackware come with X? [06:42] <Invisible_Ubunti> nemilar, why you say that? [06:42] <Invisible_Ubunti> mouseboyx, slackware can use any x window [06:43] <mouseboyx> ? [06:43] <imbecile> bazhang: agree that its a bug? and like i said its not just vmware that doesnt work. no virtualbox no qemu and im sure no other VM app would work either [06:43] <kiefer> curious if there is anyone about who can help me troubleshooting steam [06:43] <Invisible_Ubunti> mouseboyx, comes with out of install, xfce, gnome, kde, blackbox, fluxbox and some others. [06:43] <nemilar> Invisible_Ubunti: GRUB is more modern [06:43] <zcat[1]> trying to figure out how terminals get started these days.. used to be /etc/inittab .. if I want tty1 to drop straight to a 'top' or 'tail -f /var/log/squid.log' how would I do that? [06:43] <nemilar> Invisible_Ubunti: I don't know any of the specifics, I just know it's better :) [06:43] <mouseboyx> sudo apt-get install jwm [06:44] <Invisible_Ubunti> nemilar, :P its better because of the looks but config file wise lilo is easier i think for new people [06:44] <kunzy> mouseboyx: What do i put in for the kernel or is that not neccesary [06:44] <mouseboyx> none for windows. [06:44] <kunzy> k [06:44] <zcat[1]> lilo is so 1995 .. [06:45] <kunzy> mouseboyx: also, what are the options savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 for? [06:45] <mouseboyx> http://pastebin.com/m3663f927 [06:45] <bazhang> imbecile: are these older vm's you are trying to run? [06:45] <mouseboyx> Copying this file will break the install. [06:46] <kunzy> kunzy: Yea, i figured [06:46] <Invisible_Ubunti> nemilar, one thing I'm noticing though is diffrence in kubuntu and ubuntu is that by installing restricted drivers for totem/ubuntu doesn't give mpeg/xvid/mp4 playback like it does for kubuntu [06:46] <kunzy> mouseboyx: Yea, i figured [06:46] <zcat[1]> answered my own question anyhow.. /etc/event.d/tty*, thanks guys :) [06:47] <imbecile> bazhang: they dont even have an os installed yet. just made today [06:47] <mouseboyx> hte last 5 lines are for windows. [06:48] <bazhang> imbecile: how did you upgrade from feisty? via the net? and did you first uninstall the older version of vmware? [06:48] <bullgard4> Where can I find a description of kacpid? (There exists a acpid man page but no kacpid man page.) [06:48] <imbecile> bazhang: fresh gutsy install [06:48] <kunzy> mouseboyx: Yea, i think i got it. Pretty sure anyways. Just need to sudo copy the edited one in again and test it. Any idea how it could have been changed without me doing it? === no0tic_ is now known as no0tic [06:49] <ubuntu> hey [06:49] <bazhang> imbecile: you completely overwrote feisty? [06:49] <imbecile> bazhang: yes [06:49] <Invisible_Ubunti> Whats a better Torrent app besides the default BitTorrent you can't even see how many leechers/seeders per Torrent etc? [06:49] <ubuntu> anyone know where i could get some help getting my wireless card working? [06:50] <ubuntu> i mustve uninstalled it by mistake... [06:50] <Invisible_Ubunti> ubuntu, how did you install it the 1st time? [06:50] <imbecile> bazhang: i just installed from live disk yesterday [06:50] <Creed> ZOMG NO MORE WRITERS STRIKE!!! http://digg.com/television/THE_WRITERS_STRIKE_IS_OVER_2 [06:50] <ubuntu> well it worked when i installed ubuntu [06:50] <ubuntu> its the ipw2200 driver i think [06:51] <bazhang> imbecile: well that eliminates that as a possible cause of failure--hard to explain how mine works so flawlessly though [06:51] <bazhang> Creed: spam elsewhere please [06:51] <imbecile> bazhang: i know :( it worked for me before too. thats why i think its a hardware specific bug w/ ubuntu [06:52] <Creed> sorry, did a /amsg bazhang [06:52] <ubuntu> i was following a guide on howto update the ipw2200 driver and then i restarted and it doesnt have the wireless netwrok adapter listed anymore [06:52] <zcat[1]> boing ... I'm back [06:52] <bazhang> imbecile: either that or the backports/awn stuff you have enabled--that is a striking difference in our installs [06:53] <zcat[1]> Hehe.. just configured a sweet firewall/transparent proxy / dansguardian for the church up the road... [06:53] <imbecile> bazhang: I didnt even have those repos enabled when i first was trying to fix it [06:53] <Invisible_Ubunti> ubuntu, sounds like the driver didn't work so you should use the onld one [06:53] <zcat[1]> it's even a caching proxy too... [06:53] <ubuntu> well how do i go back to the old one? [06:53] <bazhang> imbecile: all this in a single day? ;] [06:53] <Invisible_Ubunti> zcat[1], cool want ot setup my linux box now? [06:54] <bullgard4> What is meant by a 'kernel thread'? [06:54] <_Lance> I got a question here, anyone know why Ubuntu no longer detects discs in my cd drive, It worked yesterday but now it does not, I'll also note that it does work in windows, plz help [06:54] <zcat[1]> Invisible_Ubunti, I can try and helpp.. what's to do? [06:54] <WGGMk> zcat[1]: you have a bit of experience with dansguardian? [06:54] <ubuntu> im really stuck here as i cant use my laptop and i have to run the live cd to go online which is what im doing now [06:54] <imbecile> bazhang: bazhang 2 days.. actually 5 days trying to get a freakin' virtual machine up [06:54] <jjgalvez> I just built the webcam driver for my Asus laptop but it built as standalone, where do I copy the driver to and how do I make it load automatically? [06:54] <zcat[1]> bullgard4, y'know how the internet is like a series of tubes.. well the kernel is like a bundle of threads, see... :) [06:54] <Invisible_Ubunti> zcat[1], was being a little sarcastic :P I don't know what needs to be done just passing time before my main PC is back up and running I think I'll load linux on it :P [06:55] <imbecile> bazhang: with Virtualbox it gives me a more verbose output but problem is that output is wrong. it tells me I need a package I already have installed [06:55] <zcat[1]> WGGMk, vaguely.. I set it up twice 'cos I was so keen to try alpha3 I forgot I haven't backed up all the work I did on it :) [06:55] <_Lance> anyone at all have any idea? [06:55] <Invisible_Ubunti> zcat[1], so fair I have web working, sound, nvidia driver with a specail boot loader, login screen and gtk theme thats as far as I've got in 2 days [06:56] <WGGMk> zcat[1]: would you happen to know why dansguardian would just hang when trying to start or restart it? or where I could look to investigate the problem?? [06:56] <Creationist> how do I search for a certain filename in the terminal? [06:56] <ubuntu> anyone have any ideas like in windows there is system restore is there anything like taht in ubuntu? [06:57] <zcat[1]> WGGMk, shuffle your blacklists.. DG sorts them, and the sort algo it uses is really inefficient with already-sorted lists ... or does it just hang 'forever'? [06:57] <WGGMk> Creationist: try "locate <filename>" [06:57] <_Lance> [06:57] <bazhang> imbecile: this is really troubling--vmware is so necessary these days--I wish I could help out more--perhaps just post a message to the other channels and they can help (eventually)--what is your computer make and model? [06:58] <_Lance> anyone at least help me on why my computer can't come back on from suspend or is that a common bug? [06:58] <WGGMk> zcat[1]: not sure what you mean by 'shuffle' but yes, it hangs forever when starting from webmin, and when executing "sudo /etc/init.d/dansguardian start" it will stay at "Starting DansGuardian..." and ill never get the [ok] [06:58] <zcat[1]> ubuntu, in ubuntu there's 'keep your home in a different partition and just reinstall if things get too messed up [06:58] <Trebor11> Hello, uh.. I've been trying to get alsa to dmix on my computer for a few days now and I've been extremely unsuccessful. I followed the instructions on the alsa wiki page and it didn't help me at all..

[07:00] <Creationist> WGGMk: Thank you.. was trying to use find ;) [07:00] <oranye_> thanx [07:00] <sulle> How do i check for what ubuntu i got?. drapper, edgy etc?. what do i type?.

[07:01] <joecurlee> says it "does not have the appropriate plugins" [07:02] <ubuntu> anybody plz help? [07:02] <imbecile> bazhang: maybe a bad install disk???? I pray that is it. could that HONESTLY be the problem? id hate to reburn and reinstall for nothing [07:02] <Invisible_Ubunti> joecurlee, just go to synaptics package manger and install all the restricted repo's and it shoudl work on most media players [07:02] <joecurlee> thought I already did that but I'll check it out again [07:02] <Trebor11> sulle: if you're on ubuntu desktop, you can just click system>About Ubuntu and in there there's a "Version and Relese Numbers" button which will tell you what you have [07:02] <WGGMk> zcat[1]: its not "URGENT" to have it up, im planning a migration to a system setup with LVM.. wasnt as keen about it when I first deployed the server.. ill just wait to migrate [07:02] <Invisible_Ubunti> joecurlee, did that and its running fine on Gnome Player for mp3's and mp4, mpeg, xvid [07:02] <bazhang> imbecile: for ubuntu? or for the windows /heh leopard ones? [07:03] <sulle> Trebor11: thnx =) [07:03] <WGGMk> zcat[1]: just curious, incase it happens again, but ill take a walk around the log files [07:03] <imbecile> bazhang: for ubuntu. i have a legit windows copy [07:03] <bazhang> joecurlee: ubuntu-restricted-extras installed? [07:04] <joecurlee> just installed w64codecs.. checking restricted extras [07:04] <WGGMk> Im having a problem with my sound. It seems every time an application that uses sound (after the sound has been played) will hang the sound, like after Banshee is finished a song it hangs, or if you try to skip a song, it hangs. Although pidgin will not hang, but sound will no longer work untill i shut down pidgin. Any thoughts???? [07:04] <zcat[1]> ubuntu-restricted-extras is such a cool idea.. who needs easyubuntu any more.. ! [07:04] <bazhang> imbecile: that might be it, but I would try to do it without the eye candy stuff first as the other geology stuff is so mission critical for you--then add it if it does not work and perhaps dual boot [07:04] <joecurlee> nope, installing now :) [07:04] <ubuntu> does any1 else have the intel 2200 wirless card? === ubuntu is now known as bah [07:05] <regulate> imbecile: do you have the vmmon module loaded?

[07:53] <PKdoR> I also Love VBox But It cat yey make SnapShots Of VMWare Virtual Discs's [07:53] <imbecile> regulate: I should tell you that no VM app works for me [07:54] <regulate> why are you running a -rt kernel? [07:54] <imbecile> regulate: ubuntustudio [07:55] <regulate> you'll need to compile the modules for your kernel [07:55] <imbecile> regulate: ahh so that is it? [07:55] <PKdoR> gorlak: I highlly recommend VirtualBox Very Highly [07:56] <imbecile> regulate: ogre@HappyLappy:/lib/modules$ sudo modprobe -v vmmon [07:56] <imbecile> FATAL: Module vmmon not found. [07:56] <arathald_> no VPN help? :( [07:56] <xukun> Is there something like visio for linux [07:56] <regulate> imbecile: dpkg -L vmware-server | grep config [07:56] <regulate> xukun: dia [07:57] <fragged[away]> xukun, is that the Microsoft Developer Environment? Try Eclipse or something, personally I like geany for my intermediate python skills but I'm newb :) [07:57] <imbecile> regulate: want me to pastebin the output? [07:57] <regulate> imbecile: please [07:57] <wolfman2323> hi.. ive just installed ms office using wine.. when i started ms access.. it has an error and wont run... any suggestions [07:58] <fragged[away]> wolfman2323, Office 2003? afaik access doesnt work, but word etc will [07:58] <arathald_> fragged[away]: visio is a visual diagramming software for stuff like flowcharts and circuit diagrams [07:58] <fragged[away]> oh I see, shows how much I use office ;) [07:58] <badkitty> xukan visio: That is the MS product that does like weird layout stuff right? [07:58] <nemilar> fragged[away]: office 2k3 can work in wine [07:58] <arathald_> btw visio absolutely blows [07:58] <copacabana> never install office [07:58] <Flannel> xukun: Do you want UML modelling? or flow charts? or what? [07:58] <arathald_> its huge pain to use [07:58] <badkitty> Xukan: and flow charts? [07:58] <imbecile> regulate: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55188/ [07:59] <fragged[away]> wolfman2323, it might be an idea to look at Crossover Office, or a raw virtual machine unless somebody can suggest a better option [07:59] <fragged[away]> nemilar, I KNOW office 2003 MOSTLY works under wine, but from what I've heard access wont [07:59] <arathald_> not sure why you'd want acess anyways :D [07:59] <xukun> Flannel, yes flow charts is what I,m going for [07:59] <wolfman2323> o.. so its useles.. hehehe.. how could i un install? [07:59] <fragged[away]> arathald_, often small businesses use access, [08:00] <wolfman2323> ive tried it many time..but.. ms is still in wine.. [08:00] <fragged[away]> which sucks seeing as its targeted at single-user use and often people try to use many computers at once [08:00] <arathald_> fragged[away]: I wans't being entirely serious, I was making a comment about it :P [08:00] <badkitty> xukun: DIA [08:00] <wolfman2323> fragged..how could i uninstall ms office in wine.. [08:01] <badkitty> xukun: http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html Try this.. its a list of alternatives for everything [08:01] <fragged[away]> speaking of wine, can anybody name a free tool that I can use to verify it works? i dont know much about the windows environment and care nothing for wine, this is for a non-profit organization trying to get them to go linux instead of Windows 98 for computers they give to low-income families [08:01] <qinjuehang> wolfman2323: If you don't have any other programs you can just delete the .wine folder [08:01] <fragged[away]> wolfman2323, .wine/Program Files/Office should have it [08:02] <fragged[away]> think of .wine as being like your C:/ under windows [08:02] <nemilar> fragged[away]: notepad comes with wine I believe [08:02] <imbecile> fragged[away]: im doing the same thing [08:02] <wolfman2323> i have other program running in wine. [08:02] <nemilar> fragged[away]: not really sure what you meant by "works" [08:02] <Flannel> fragged[away], wolfman2323: .wine/drive_c/ is your C:/ === reburn is now known as proppen [08:02] <bod_> bazhang, hey dude, sorry that took so long,. im still unable to boot into that dive, and i cant use the livecd because i had to use te text installer in the first place [08:03] <fragged[away]> Flannel, cheers for correction ;) [08:03] <wolfman2323> ive tried to uninstall.. and it run the process of uninstalling.. but.. when ive checked wine..in application.. its still there... [08:03] <fragged[away]> :O notepad restards X11! [08:03] <fragged[away]> damn this POS graphics card [08:03] <nemilar> haha that's bad [08:04] <xukun> badkitty, thanks I will try Dia [08:04] <badkitty> xukun: :-) [08:04] <ackbahr> Hi there!

[08:04] <wolfman2323> brb [08:04] <badkitty> xukun: SOmeone else mentioned it too so he gets thanked too ;-p [08:05] <xukun> badkitty, I know [08:05] <blag> I keep getting a bash syntax error in one of my scripts, "line 439: syntax error near unexpected token `fi' ", anybody want to help? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55190/ [08:05] <xukun> regulate, Thanks for the tip m8 [08:05] <ackbahr> I tried installing Condor recently, but it didnd't work right and I lost interest in it, but now everytime I use the upgrade manager, it gives me errors with Condor, although I can't apt-get remove it either! How can I get rid of its annoying remains? [08:05] <fragged[away]> imbecile, mmm so what are you rigging up for this group? [08:06] <kendrick> hrm, how does one ask ubuntu to grok new locales? [08:06] <kendrick> on debian, i could do dpkg-reconfigure locales and it'd bring up a menu [08:06] <kendrick> when i do that on ubuntu, it just starts reprocessing the ones i've already chosen [08:06] <fragged[away]> I'm not entirely sure how much they will like Linux, its complicated and different, which means that peopole cant buy cheap commercial games etc but its also a lot better than any 98 box these days... I'm still a lil scared by dialup/printer support [08:06] <qinjuehang> ackbahr: did you try apt-get autoremove [08:06] <imbecile> fragged[away]: just getting donated computers and throwing ubuntu on them and giving them to needy people and offering help getting them started [08:07] <kendrick> why buy games? you can play them all on facebook :) [08:07] <ackbahr> qinjuehang: Didn't, will tell you about it in a minute.... [08:07] <arathald_> gah!!! I hate VPN.... It's a good concept, and very useful, but I can't for the life of me get it working [08:07] <qinjuehang> kendrick: Ubuntu doesn't have shockwave too... [08:08] <ackbahr> qinjuehang: Didn't work.... But still tells me "1 partly removed" in the list of things to do! [08:08] <kendrick> i've never had any problems playing games on facebook using firefox [08:08] <supershort> hi all [08:08] <blag> ackbahr: try using System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager, clicking on the checkbox next to Condor (you'll probably have to search for it using search) and then click "Completely remove" [08:08] <supershort> how do i delete stuff from /opt/ [08:08] <qinjuehang> arathald_: I'm looking for someone to test VPN with too [08:09] <ackbahr> blag: Thanks, will try that [08:09] <fragged[away]> imbecile, mmm, I'm donating a computer to a group that pass them on so I'm not the middle man :D!... what kind of configuration are you using? I've set up xubuntu on a box and I've set it to automatically log in, made sure hardware works etc and then set up wine, I'm giving them the box and I just want them to play around and see if there interested in using a linux based operating system, any software recommendations? [08:09] <|katana|> hi.. I want to create a server with 2 HD in raid 1. I got a question though building up my motherboard: There's 4 sata connectors on the MB close to each other [08:09] <arathald_> qinjuehang: well, im not even setting up a server, im trying to connect to my schools vpn [08:09] <kendrick> ah [08:09] <blag> I keep getting a bash syntax error in one of my scripts, "line 439: syntax error near unexpected token `fi' ", anybody want to help? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55190/ [08:09] <kendrick> sudo locale-gen THE_LOCALE [08:09] <jerns1> hello, I have installed ubuntu on an old pIII laptop and I'm trying to free as much ram as I can.

[08:10] <qinjuehang> arathald_: Ooo I see. I should try that too. I think my school has VPN (thanks for reminding) [08:10] <bazhang> bod you still around? [08:10] * kendrick wanders [08:10] <|katana|> the manual says if I want to install raid 0/1/JBOD, i'd need to connect a sata-disk to this one and another one to the 'external' SATA port.. [08:10] <supershort> hia l [08:10] <Neural_Overload> Hello everyone [08:10] <supershort> anyone get my question [08:10] <arathald_> essentially, I live off camput at my Fraternity house and I want my server to behave as though on-campus (there's a good chance just VPNing in will allow my server to have an static, unique, external ip) [08:10] <qinjuehang> jerns1: sudo apt-get install bum [08:10] <fragged[away]> jerns1, sshd is not installed on xubuntu nor ubuntu server not sure about everything else, as for freeing ram etc try xfce4 for a good ram:useability DE/WM [08:10] <arathald_> *campus [08:10] <blag> fragged[away]: thanks [08:10] <regulate> imbecile: basically you need those two modules compiled for your kernel [08:10] <supershort> how do i delete shit from my /opt/ file cos i have lampp and want to delete shit from there [08:11] <blag> ackbahr: That and Update-manager is what I use. They're nice.

When I try to start the installer, it just goes to a black screen. [08:11] <qinjuehang> supershort: Did you try sudoing? [08:11] <supershort> how do sudo? [08:11] <imbecile> fragged[away]: im just giving them a fresh ubuntu install. i suppose i could just have it auto login but i figure it isnt very secure & besides they should know their username & password. its my friends brainchild [08:12] <supershort> sudo -del? [08:12] <qinjuehang> Neural_Overload: Try F6 and adding "linux acpi=off" [08:12] <supershort> im new to linux [08:12] <jerns1> supershort: sudo rm [08:12] <fragged[away]> |katana|, from what I hear software raid is better than most mb raids, as for external hdd, there should be an esata on the backplate of your mobo if thats what its talking about, but that seems rather silly to require that [08:12] <imbecile> regulate: so it IS an issue with ubuntustudio? [08:12] <jerns1> supershort: man rm [08:12] <illusionofart> Hi, trying to update to Edgy from 6.06 LTS with the Update Manager and having problems. Running gksu "update-manager -c" from the Terminal and Alt+F2 does nothing. Can someone point me in the right direction? [08:12] <regulate> imbecile: yes. i bet you can install a -generic kernel tho [08:13] <qinjuehang> supershort: Be really careful with sudo rm commands ppl post (this one looks safe) [08:13] <Yancho> i just plugged in a usb key but got no drive popping on (similar to what does in windows) any idea how I can get it please? this is the result of lshw -C bus http://yancho.pastebin.com/d5d1f863e [08:13] <badkitty> illusionofart: I think you have to add the repo then do a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [08:13] <imbecile> regulate: how can i do that? [08:14] <fragged[away]> supershort, sudo is the administrative command, you can use rm as a stanrdard user to remove things which is also a lot safer (unlike windows, linux will /allow/ you to remove system files) [08:14] <badkitty> Yancho: Do you know the device name? [08:14] <jerns1> qinjuehang thanks, but it's nowhere to be found in bum [08:14] <Yancho> badkitty nope :| [08:14] <regulate> imbecile: apt-get install linux-image-generic [08:14] <fragged[away]> Yancho, dmesg | tail, mount /dev/sd* /MOUNTPOINT etc [08:14] <qinjuehang> jerns1: I guess its not there then...?

[08:18] <bazhang> imbecile: well it would be the rt kernel that was the issue then [08:18] <Overload> qinjuehang, this is Neural_Overload [08:19] <supershort> ? [08:19] <razordead> sulle, you should be allowed to connect more than once to the same server [08:19] <Overload> I'm going to disconnect my other client [08:19] <jerns1> qinjuehang: I found it in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ [08:19] <Overload> And restart and try with the "linux acpi=off" command [08:20] <imbecile> regulate: bazhang: linux-image-generic is already the newest version.The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: python-qt3 python-sip4 [08:20] <fragged[away]> Yancho, 'mkdir ./temp; mount /dev/sda1 ./temp' or if sda1 will not work, just sda [08:20] <qinjuehang> jerns1: I'm afraid I don't know what happened then...I never meddled much with services [08:20] <regulate> imbecile: i bet it all works if you boot into that kernel [08:20] <Yancho> fragged[away] all in one line? [08:21] <qinjuehang> fragged[away]: Why do we mount in a hidden folder? [08:21] <fragged[away]> the ; breaks commands 'ls; ls' will do two ls's [08:21] <badkitty> fragged[away]: Thats only if his drive is sda1 though [08:21] <imbecile> regulate: how do i boot into that kernel now? [08:21] <fragged[away]> badkitty, his dmesg reports that it is [08:21] <fragged[away]> I mean, unless he has a 1024mb root and that was displayed in tail [08:21] <badkitty> fragged[away]: Oh k [08:21] <imbecile> regulate: sorry but i didnt get this nick for nothing [08:21] <regulate> imbecile: reboot. the grub menu should list the -rt kernel [08:21] <fragged[away]> qinjuehang, bad practice I guess?

[08:32] <mikubuntu> is anybody having trouble with adobe flash 9 since recent updates?

I get errors. [08:32] <badkitty> illusionofart: what errors? [08:33] <fragged> ethan961, is that real write support or the 'you cannot rename, delete, move, or do ANYTHING to a file apart from writing to it without changing the filesize' [08:33] <bod_> bazhang: i would prefer to undo all changes made by installing splashy,.,. can i remove it from here?

[08:36] <bazhang> bod_: that is not something I am sure about at all as that is a #debian package, and from the unstable branch (sid) at that--rescuing your files should be your first priority until someone can help you do the rest in my opinion [08:36] <fragged> Yancho, I'd rather somebody else give an opinion as well [08:36] <fragged> do an entire dmesg and paste it to pastebin [08:36] <bullgard4> IBM says: "A thread is in some operating systems the smallest unit of operation to be performed in a process." To what operating systems does this pertain? How is that in Linux? [08:37] <bod_> bazhang: but if i rescue files, i might accidently rescue the file that is causing my system to break,.,.no?

[10:02] <Kuwanger> Well, good news and bad news. It appears that I figured out the problem. It seems that if a framebuffer isn't avaialble, usplash will use svgalib. The only problem is, the svgalib code doesn't support transparency. [10:02] <Bren> Hash, stupid question but I'm just making sure. goto http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=3340 and where it says boot up withlivecd I restart the PC and load the cd in the start up process right? [10:03] <Kuwanger> At least, it only supports something called "putboxmask", which presumes that 0 is the transparent color. So, I hacked usplash to change the transparent color in an image to 0, when a transparent color is used. [10:04] <Kuwanger> That sort of seemed to work, though my latest test ended up with the monitor turning off. :/ [10:04] <meezfoghi> can anyone help me?? [10:04] <idran2> I have a problem with my pakages: acpid, acpi-support and powermanagement-interface.The dpkg --configure -a produce this report: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55191/ this is in italian lenguage but i can traslate it!

[10:10] <DIL> Creationist, can you locate the file from the k3b interface [10:10] <Creationist> DIL: Of course. [10:11] <DIL> Creationist, so you select it and ............

Can anyone help me with my home wireless network. i ve tried to modify wpa_supplicant.conf but it is still not working. I am using wpa2-psk security [10:36] <up_the_irons> nemilar: yes, but there's dependency problems [10:36] <nemilar> lollo: that's the basic idea, but not always when it's full... for example if you have 50MB of RAM left, but a program wants 80MB of memory, it'll usually bypass the 50 and go straight to swap [10:37] <nemilar> up_the_irons: do you have the .deb file ? [10:37] <up_the_irons> nemilar: it doesn't seem to, easily, let me say "ok, i have dependency problems, so forget about it, don't install the package and forget you tried" [10:37] <up_the_irons> nemilar: yes i have the .deb [10:37] <razordead> meezfoghi: this line says there's an FTP server already running & you'd need to uninstall it before the new one you're trying to install will work... tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [10:37] <nemilar> up_the_irons: give gdebi a try [10:37] <lollo> wow nemi you know so much things ! thx ! [10:37] <nemilar> up_the_irons: gdebi-gtk file.deb [10:37] <gary4gar> Okay here my question 4th time :|. I installed windows xp yesterday, so it overwrited MBR, now i have booted into Ubuntu 7.10 via live cd & carried the procedure defined in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows, but its failed in the last step, when it runs emed command twice times( msg was, error but not fatal) , also my dmesg output shows some I/O errors. demsg output ==> http://gary4gar.googlepages.com/dmesg . [10:37] <nemilar> gary4gar: please stop doing that. [10:37] <up_the_irons> nemilar: oh i don't have gtk or anything installed, it's a server [10:37] <gary4gar> anyone ? [10:38] <nemilar> up_the_irons: oh true [10:38] <SegFaultAX> where is the installation page for beryl now? [10:38] <nemilar> up_the_irons: it won't let you dpkg -r ? [10:38] <SegFaultAX> the link on the beryl site is dead [10:38] <nemilar> SegFaultAX: compiz-fusion is the composite manager these days 8) all the cool kids are doing it [10:38] <up_the_irons> nemilar: what i've done until now is remove the package with --force-depends, and then reinstall the "good" version [10:39] <up_the_irons> nemilar: i guess i'll just have to keep doing that [10:39] <stib> gary4gar: there are about four different methods there, which did you use? [10:39] <gary4gar> stib: all :( [10:39] <nemilar> up_the_irons: there's definitely a solution, SOSTM would be able to help you [10:39] <gary4gar> stib: i am worried about those nasty errors :S [10:39] <up_the_irons> nemilar: but yeah, dpkg -r complains too [10:39] <stib> so what happens when you boot? [10:39] <meezfoghi> razordead: ok..how to uninstall ftp server.....i dont know another ftp server install on my machine [10:40] <stib> gary4gar: what happens when you boot? [10:40] <up_the_irons> nemilar: sostm? [10:40] <gary4gar> stib: nothing, no sign of grub :p [10:40] <nemilar> up_the_irons: someone smarter than me [10:40] <up_the_irons> nemilar: haha [10:40] <up_the_irons> nemilar: ok :) [10:40] <stib> gary4gar: : are you sure you got the right hard drive? [10:41] <razordead> meezfoghi: try searching Synaptic for ftpd & see if there's another one marked as installed [10:41] <gary4gar> stib: means? [10:42] <meezfoghi> razordead: ok i check 1st ..thanks [10:42] <gary4gar> stib: My hdd is Seagate ST380815AS [10:42] <stib> gary4gar: when you install grub, you have to tell it what drive to install to (usully it's (HD0,0) meaning the first partition of the first hard drive. [10:42] <stib> gary4gar: what did you type when you installed grub? [10:42] <gary4gar> stib: i tried using live cd [10:43] <stib> gary4gar: tried what? [10:43] <gary4gar> stib: sudo grub, root (hd0,1) & setup (hd0,1) [10:44] <gary4gar> stib: i am more worried about this error in dmesg, yte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK,SUGGEST_OK [10:44] <gary4gar> [ 238.637426] end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 31455263 [10:44] <gary4gar> [ 238.637432] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK,SUGGEST_OK [10:44] <gebura> your drive must have hardware problem :( [10:44] <SegFaultAX> ubuntu does not have an ok prompt does it?

[11:14] <maximilion> Hello guys :) [11:15] <alanbshepard70> Does anyone know of something that can help me save an asx video link from the net to my hard drive? I'm trying to rip/save the launch videos of the shuttle launch from yesterday off of the nasa website. [11:15] <maximilion> After running "sudo alien -cv xyz.rpm" I get folders, not .deb files. Is that normal? [11:16] <citm> thanks erUSUL: motto of the story, dont type drunk [11:16] <Thurin1> citm: Here is a better moral, lesson and rule [11:16] <maximilion> alanbshepard70: Try the Video download add-on for Firefox... don't remember the name, the most popular one [11:16] <Thurin1> citm: Do not Root while under the influence. [11:16] <Thurin1> :) [11:17] <maximilion> Root only on root beer [11:17] <citm> lol [11:17] <maximilion> :) [11:17] <magnetron> !lol [11:17] <ubotu> 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. [11:17] <maximilion> So, anyone here used alien? Is it normal to get folders and not .deb files? [11:17] <Thurin1> alanbshepard70: All you need do is download the 'asx' file and open it in a text editor, the link inside is the direct address for the video file. - Keep in mind that mime types must be disabled less you wish to use a download manager such as Kget or something similar. [11:17] <alanbshepard70> maximilion: I've tried several and none work. I've tried download helper, ook video ok, magic ripper, and others. I've also tried vixy.net that is supposed to rip from a link and convert the video to a format of your choosing [11:18] <yousif> bruciemoose: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55199/ [11:18] <Thurin1> maximilion: Yes, it could be normal depending on how the RPM was packaged to install, some of course are designed to install into folders.. [11:18] <Thurin1> maximilion: Btw.. Alien is not compatible with 'all' RPM packs, in fact I believe that one of it's enemies is 'dir' packed RPM's. [11:18] <ktwilight[m]> sure are plenty of people in here [11:18] <maximilion> So, if they are already folders, no need to "dpkg -i"? [11:18] <bruciemoose> yousif: ok so the last line is your wireless card [11:19] <Thurin1> maximilion: Find the binary -- ./binary and see [11:19] <alanbshepard70> Thurin1: I tried that also but when I try the link it downloads a small 915byte file. [11:19] <yousif> bruciemoose: cool [11:19] <Thurin1> maximilion: If that does not work and everything is still source without an option to build/make - well either find a deb, or find another RPM. - Again alien is not compatible with all rpms, most, but not all. [11:20] <maximilion> Thurin1: Will check, thanks :) [11:20] <bruciemoose> yousif: so I'm googling for that model number [11:20] <yousif> bruciemoose: cool thank you [11:20] <bullgard4> English help wanted. What is meant by 'reparent' in the sentence "If a kernel thread is launched as a result of a system call, or if it ever exits, it should generally reparent itself to kthreadd so it isn't in the way of other processes and is correctly cleaned up on exit."? [11:20] <ali1234> alanbshepard70: tried mplayer? mplayer --dumpstream --playlist whatever.asx [11:20] <Thurin1> alanbshepard70: That could also be another text file, check that for a link as well. - Some links to videos though are well protected and .. it's really not worth the effort... [11:21] <Le-Chuck_IT1> Hi all. Is it normal that if I put tomboy in my session it opens the search window, and if I start it from my terminal after login it will not? I am using hardy but I suppose this is not a new thing [11:21] <bruciemoose> yousif: so ubuntu hasn't recognised the card? [11:21] <alanbshepard70> ali1234: No I haven't tried that but I will now. [11:21] <yousif> bruciemoose: it is recognised [11:21] <alanbshepard70> Thurin1: the second file was a wmv file but I'll see if it has a link burried in ti [11:21] <yousif> bruciemoose: i do have an wireless connection at school [11:21] <Thurin1> alanbshepard70: WMV' files can have links inside... [11:22] <Thurin1> ASX>WMV>AVI/WMV [11:22] <yousif> bruciemoose: but at home it is not working [11:22] <bruciemoose> yousif: ah [11:22] <yousif> bruciemoose: sorry i wasnt very clear [11:22] <bruciemoose> yousif: that's useful to know :P [11:22] <alanbshepard70> Thurin1: Ok thanks, I'll check it out and see what happens. [11:22] <yousif> bruciemoose: i m really sorry about it [11:22] <bruciemoose> yousif: so do you know your wireless hub settings? [11:23] <daurnimator> hey all [11:23] <yousif> bruciemoose: yes [11:23] <daurnimator> anyone able to help with rdesktop? [11:23] <daurnimator> I'm running windows xp under vmware server [11:23] <daurnimator> I'm trying to get seamlessrdp working [11:23] <bruciemoose> yousif: so what does it say when you try to connect? [11:23] <daurnimator> but rdesktop doesn't seem to do anything [11:23] <daurnimator> when I attempt to start it, it just sits there [11:23] <daurnimator> no output in term, or window created [11:23] <yousif> bruciemoose: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55195/ this is the configuration i m using at home [11:23] <daurnimator> doesn't seem to timeout either [11:24] <bruciemoose> daurnimator: have you tried moving the mouse :P [11:24] <maximilion> Thurin1: No ./binary in the folders, in fact no ./anything, but they do contain /debian and /usr that seem to contain executables [11:24] <daurnimator> ? [11:24] <yousif> bruciemoose: it just doesnt connect [11:24] <bruciemoose> daurnimator: sometimes that's a screen saver :P [11:24] <daurnimator> huh? [11:25] <Bizyal> #c++-se [11:25] <Thurin1> maximilion: ./binary just means executable... a binary one ;) not literally ./binary :] [11:25] <Bizyal> =/ [11:25] <bruciemoose> yousif: where's that file? [11:25] <yousif> bruciemoose: after changing the conf file i use: sudo dhclient eth1 . [11:25] <maximilion> Thurin1: Yeah, don't think I need to build since the version is for my cpu and distro [11:26] <daurnimator> hmmm, if I just put in a bad ip [11:26] <daurnimator> it does the same [11:26] <maximilion> Thurin1: But that doesn't mean I know how to "be a package manager" and know where to put the files :) [11:26] <yousif> bruciemoose: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55195/ it is here [11:26] <daurnimator> the networking doesn't seem to be working [11:26] <daurnimator> how can I test if theres a firewall blocking it? [11:26] <bruciemoose> yousif: I mean where on your system? [11:27] <yousif> bruciemoose: it is in ect/wpa_supplicant/ [11:27] <Thurin1> maximilion: Well if it runs you can keep them where they are in your home, or make a specific directory @ home for them.. [11:27] <BrianL> I am running a totally upgraded feisty ubuntu, I wanted to put beryl on their but their are alot of different tutorials for it, can anyone suggest a good one? [11:27] <Thurin1> maximilion: If they did not install via pack .. it makes no sense to place them in /usr/bin - and anyways /usr/bin is fat enough :) [11:27] <bruciemoose> yousif: have you configured this through the gui? [11:27] <daurnimator> anyone? [11:28] <bruciemoose> daurnimator: portscan with nmap? [11:28] <sandr-> BrianL: why don't you use compiz? [11:28] <ROOT_OF_ALL_EVIL> how to install ati-driver-installer-8.40.4-x86.x86_64.run (I'm lamer, help me, please)? [11:28] <Thurin1> daurnimator: Networking as in... internet, home network, wireless what? [11:28] <Thurin1> daurnimator: You're leaving out critical information my man ;D [11:28] <daurnimator> Thurin1: vmware. local. [11:28] <maximilion> Thurin1: Well, I figured I could copy the /usr folder contents to my /usr folder, but what about the debian folder contents? Into /debian? [11:28] <daurnimator> a nat [11:28] <magnetron> BrianL: beryl isn't maintaned anymore. compiz fusion, the replacement is included in both feisty and gutsy. but it works a lot better in gutsy [11:28] <yousif> bruciemoose: when i try to do it through the gui it doesnt work [11:29] <yousif> bruciemoose: while it is just the ssid and the password type [11:29] <bruciemoose> yousif: can you connect to your hub with anything else? [11:29] <Thurin1> daurnimator: Make sure that you have smbclient installed, no errors about hal/dbus (if you are in Gnome) - and double check your Vmware network settings - they do have some warnings/tricks in that section. [11:29] <daurnimator> why smbclient??? [11:29] <daurnimator> I think it could be something with iptables? [11:29] <yousif> bruciemoose: like another laptop? [11:29] <daurnimator> how do I check? [11:29] <Thurin1> daurnimator: Oh, also make sure that your actual box and the emulated system do not share the same address - that will block one of them out on some routers. [11:29] <bruciemoose> yousif: yeah [11:30] <Thurin1> maximilion: ... No no no [11:30] <BrianL> magnetron: but that will give me a cool effects? [11:30] <daurnimator> Thurin1: vm is 192.168.146.128 [11:30] <magnetron> BrianL: yes. [11:30] <daurnimator> ifconfig shows the host as 192.168.146.1 [11:30] <yousif> bruciemoose: yes i can work with the wireless network on the windows [11:30] <Thurin1> maximilion: Do not, ever move a /usr folder to /usr in / ... you could delete your original USR and break the system ;P === Kopfgeldjaeger is now known as KGJ|frustriert [11:30] <yousif> bruciemoose: i have dual boot [11:30] <BrianL> magnetron: cool, so how do i get it going? [11:30] <dns53> BrianL: compiz is the original project, there was a split called beryl and they merged as compiz-fusion [11:31] <Thurin1> maximilion: If you really want to make something in usr - symlink the binary with "ln -s" (man ln) [11:31] <bruciemoose> yousif: so you get no network, can't ping the hub etc? [11:31] <yousif> bruciemoose: no i cant [11:31] <magnetron> BrianL: in feisty, there are not all the effects available. it's called "desktop effects" [11:31] <Thurin1> dugbert: The host is the router.. .1 is usually the router [11:31] <maximilion> Thurin1: Roger! debian folder contains some scripts like postrm, a .debhelper file... Does this mean I could automate install even without .deb file? [11:31] <magnetron> BrianL: in the system menu [11:31] <adnan> hello [11:31] <Thurin1> daurnimator: What is the OS you are using vmware on? XP? [11:31] <yousif> bruciemoose: when using the gui it is canging after i open it again to wpa personal instead of wpa2 [11:31] <magnetron> !hi | adnan [11:31] <ubotu> adnan: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [11:32] <adnan> ya its first time that i am gating log on [11:32] <daurnimator> Thurin1: ubuntu [11:32] <Thurin1> maximilion: In theory yes, but you could also find that the program works right now and all you must do (if you use X) is add the link to the file.. and presto ;) - some things in Linux do not need to be 'installed' [11:33] <Thurin1> daurnimator: Ok, So your running ubuntu.. to run Ubuntu in vmware? [11:33] <daurnimator> winxp [11:33] <Thurin1> so you have two versions of ubuntu running on the same machine? [11:33] <Thurin1> Ah ok ok [11:33] <t105> hello ... has anybody a clue with that one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/37527 [11:33] <t105> i'm having that during net install from the mini-iso [11:33] <misc--> hello... I'm trying to get the java plugin or firefox to work but java.com keeps saying I have 1.4.2 installed. How can I make it use 1.6? I've removed every single trace of 1.4.2, installed the 1.6 java, used update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun, restarted firefox, still thinks I'm using 1.4. Firefox about:config shows the java lib I'm using which links to 1.6. Any ideas? [11:33] <Thurin1> open up a terminal in ubuntu and 'ifconfig' whats the addy? - and in XP run a command prompt and 'ipconfig' and what is the addy? [11:33] <BrianL> magnetron: "I get a pop up that the composite extension is not available" [11:33] <bruciemoose> yousif: Think my suggestion would be to reduce the security on your hub [11:34] <bruciemoose> yousif: I've had similar problems [11:34] <yousif> bruciemoose: yeah it is a good idea [11:34] <maximilion> OK Thurin1, will make the symlinks... and try :) [11:34] <yousif> bruciemoose: i ll try this now [11:34] <bruciemoose> yousif: I fixed mine by forcing a different kernel module [11:34] <magnetron> BrianL: that means that your graphics driver does not support 3d desktop. what card are you using? [11:35] <t105> i had to use net install because normal install messes up with sata-cdrom [11:35] <Thurin1> maximilion: ;) if you see what seems to be the executable binary .. ./filename - if it runs it's already 'installed' - however if the binary has not been given permissions yet ---- chmod +x filename [11:35] <yousif> bruciemoose: ok i ll remember that [11:35] <BrianL> magnetron: ati x300 [11:35] <yousif> bruciemoose: :) [11:35] <magnetron> BrianL: ATI? too bad. [11:35] <citm> !defoma [11:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about defoma - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:35] <bruciemoose> yousif: so I had rt2500usb or something installed by ubuntu, had to change it to something else that looked very similar [11:35] <Thurin1> BrianL: You must edit your XORG - and enable the Option 'Composite' enable [11:35] <Rodolfo> hi folks..I'm going to buy a new computer and I want to know a good video card from nvidia or ati/amd. Suggestions? [11:35] <maximilion> Yes, I've found it, but I think it uses fonts and expects startup files in the correct place [11:35] <Thurin1> BrianL: Go to X.org and read about composite - and double check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. [11:36] <maximilion> So I will step gently :) [11:36] <yousif> bruciemoose: the thing is that i have already wireless connection at school [11:36] <BrianL> Thurin1: will do, thanks [11:36] <Thurin1> The Radeon 7000 supports beryl - so I mean come on.. the X300 for sure does [11:36] <Thurin1> ;) [11:36] <bruciemoose> yousif: yeah that's weird [11:36] <magnetron> Rodolfo: don't buy one from ATI. try avoiding the 8 series nvidia too. [11:36] <bruciemoose> yousif: so it works, I guess it's best to change your hub [11:36] <yousif> bruciemoose: so i thought it is just how to configure the wpa_supplicant [11:36] <Thurin1> BrianL: Just good xorg.conf - 'composite' you should see a lot of examples. [11:36] <yousif> bruciemoose: i will [11:37] <Thurin1> google* [11:37] <Rodolfo> magnetron: hm..what do you think about nvidia geforce 7300LE? [11:37] <bruciemoose> yousif: I don't know anything about wpa_supplicant [11:37] <yousif> bruciemoose: thanks man [11:37] <bruciemoose> yousif: np [11:37] <magnetron> Rodolfo: a nice card. [11:37] <citm> E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [11:37] <citm> E: Unable to lock the download directory [11:37] <Thurin1> BrianL: - Section "Extensions" [11:37] <Thurin1> Option "Composite" "Enable" [11:37] <Thurin1> EndSection [11:37] <Thurin1> :) [11:37] <maximilion> Thurin1: Oh, found a makefile. :P Just run it? [11:37] <Slap_Stick> hey, i'm a bit confused with the sudoers file, if i wanted a group to be able to have all normal commands as their own user but to be able to su to another user with no password, how would i do it at the moment i've done %d ALL = /bin/su - user NOPASSWD: ALL is that correct? [11:37] <citm> i get errors whenever itry to add ropgrams or things.. i think it is due to the problem with contacting a server during my install [11:38] <KristianDK> Hi there :-) I'm having a light intensity problem on my laptop - i can't change it, so i'ts 100% all the time, which is destroying my battery time :O Do you know a possible solution to this? [11:38] <Thurin1> maximilion: as user --- ./configure - make - as sudo make install [11:38] <Thurin1> :) [11:38] <ROOT_OF_ALL_EVIL> How to run 'ati-driver-installer-8.40.4-x86.x86_64.run'? [11:38] <citm> is there anyway to fix that? reinstall ubuntu? [11:38] <Rodolfo> magnetron: as far as I know, it has 256MB dedicated memory...and can steal more from the system... [11:38] <Slap_Stick> /usr/bin/su even * [11:38] <Rodolfo> magnetron: is that right? you know anything about it? [11:38] <magnetron> Rodolfo: i don't know about that. [11:38] <Thurin1> so first "./configure" (verbatim) that will take some time - next you type "make" and wait... when it's done "sudo make install" [11:38] <Rodolfo> magnetron: which one do you use? [11:38] <Thurin1> maximilion: It can be done in one large command as well - but it's easier to get started like that [11:38] <magnetron> Rodolfo: geforce 3 [11:39] <Rodolfo> magnetron: ouch...! [11:39] <Thurin1> maximilion: But before you build anything get the tools first .. [11:39] <maximilion> okay, will try :) [11:39] <ROOT_OF_ALL_EVIL> How to run 'ati-driver-installer-8.40.4-x86.x86_64.run'? [11:39] <maximilion> I have the tools Thurin1 [11:39] <magnetron> Rodolfo: it's enough for compiz [11:39] <Thurin1> sudo apt-get install build-essential (might have an s) [11:39] <ROOT_OF_ALL_EVIL> Help me please? [11:39] <Thurin1> build-essentials or build-essential, one or the other [11:39] <Rodolfo> magnetron: the last one I had was a GF 4 MX4000 128MB@64b [11:39] <dns53> ./appname in a terminal? [11:39] <Thurin1> That will give you the minimum tools you need to compile your own software :) === assid is now known as Assid [11:40] <Rodolfo> magnetron: it SUCKED! but was enough for that time... [11:40] <Thurin1> ROOT_OF_ALL_EVIL: Chomod +x file [11:40] <Thurin1> ROOT_OF_ALL_EVIL: Then ./ati <tab> enter... [11:41] <ROOT_OF_ALL_EVIL> Thanks! [11:41] <Thurin1> ROOT_OF_ALL_EVIL: Well... I guess you know the tab part .. just saying ;D [11:41] <gumis> hi all [11:41] <Thurin1> but if a binary is not executable... chmod +x :) [11:41] <Thurin1> chmod +x filename. [11:41] <Rodolfo> magnetron: is it true that nvidia cards run games better on windows then on linux? [11:41] <Thurin1> Of course you can only chmod's to files you own - so you can't change mod a root file from a user account.. keep that in mind [11:41] <gumis> how to easy downgrade kernel in 7.10 to kernel in 6.10? [11:42] <Thurin1> Rodolfo: No [11:42] <Rodolfo> than* [11:42] <Thurin1> Rodolfo: Nvidia from my experience works better on Linux than ATI. [11:42] <maximilion> Thurin1: Eh, throws up on ./configure [11:42] <Assid> Thurin1: no ? 3d acceleration isnt as advanced as its windows counter part [11:42] <Thurin1> ATI's are one of the worst on Linux, not that they are bad cards.. but ati does not care much about Linux. [11:42] <Jadd76> Hello, can anyone send me the URL of a blog post seen on the Ubuntu planet with the Virtualbox/Windows screenshot? [11:42] <Assid> Thurin1: i think his question was nvidia on win/lin [11:42] <Rodolfo> Thurin1: what card family are you talking about? [11:43] <gary4gar> Please help me restoring grub after windows install, i did this ==> http://www.pastebin.ca/896134 but still no sign of grub [11:43] <Thurin1> Rodolfo: You're comparing games on windows and linux? [11:43] <Thurin1> Rodolfo: Bah, might as well compare apples and oranges really [11:43] <Thurin1> Most games on Linux use GL, most windows games use DX which cannot be tested on Linux for the most part.. soooo [11:43] <Assid> err.. can someone help me get my webcam working? [11:43] <Rodolfo> Thurin1: hehe...yea I need a suggestion to buy a new video card with my next computer [11:43] <Thurin1> But as for GL games - try ET on windows and on Linux [11:44] <Thurin1> it's way faster on Linux :) [11:44] <Assid> ET ?? [11:44] <Thurin1> maximilion: It's not fun eh? [11:44] <Assid> you mean UT right ? [11:44] <Rodolfo> Thurin1: I've had bad experience enough and I'm running away from intel GMA-based-cards from now on... [11:44] <yousif_> bruciemoose: thank you it is working now [11:44] <Thurin1> maximilion: But compiling your own programs usually resuly in a snappier app. [11:44] <Thurin1> Assid: Enemy territory. [11:44] <Thurin1> Rodolfo: Hahah [11:44] <alanbshepard70> My iPod stopped mounting whenever I plug it in. I didn't change any settings and I've rebooted as a first step. Any ideas on how to fix this or troubleshoot? [11:44] <yousif_> bruciemoose: thank you very much. [11:45] <Thurin1> Rodolfo: Well... as for Linux... yeah, Nvidia is the way to go.. trust me.. ATI is hella bad. [11:45] <gary4gar> Please help me restoring grub after windows install, i did this ==> http://www.pastebin.ca/896134 but still no sign of grub there [11:45] <Assid> err.. my nvidia 8600gts works fine on ubuntu+1 btw [11:45] <Thurin1> Assid: Yeah, like I said Nvidia is good on Linux. [11:45] <Rodolfo> Thurin1: I see...I was talking about GF 7300LE. what do you think about it? is it capable of running current games? [11:45] <Thurin1> Nvidia has been 'good' to linux for long time .. [11:46] <Thurin1> Rodolfo: On Linux? hah sure [11:46] <Thurin1> Rodolfo: Linux doesn't have much games you know :P [11:46] <Thurin1> If you want to play games a lot.. why choose Linux? [11:46] <Thurin1> Gamers are better off on windows.. seriously [11:46] <alanhaggai> Yes. [11:46] <Rodolfo> Thurin1: because I don't want vista on my next pc...trust me Linux is the smarter choice. [11:46] <DDragon> some are Thurin1 [11:46] <maximilion> I agree, although id games rock on Linux :) [11:47] <alanhaggai> You can use Cedega to play DirectX games in GNU/Linux. [11:47] <Thurin1> Rodolfo: Not for Gamers it isn't [11:47] <IanLiu> !cinelerra [11:47] <ubotu> Cinelerra is a video editor and compositor that cannot be included in Ubuntu for legal reasons. Install instructions can be found on http://cvs.cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu [11:47] <Thurin1> Well.. compared to Vista, maybe haha [11:47] <frup> I only like older games [11:47] <Thurin1> Vista.. umm yah [11:47] <maximilion> alanhaggai: I have this old Win98 game using DX6... is that possible in cedega? [11:47] <Rodolfo> Thurin1: and I want to run games on Linux...If I can't, nothing to do about it. windows is not an option. [11:47] <frup> most work in wine [11:47] <Thurin1> frup: yup [11:47] <citm> !codec [11:47] <ubotu> 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 [11:47] <Thurin1> I mean 'gamer' like hardcore [11:47] <alanhaggai> maximilion, might be. Give it a try. [11:48] <frup> Newer games in my opinion tend to be more about graphics than gameplay [11:48] <ikonia> Thurin1: linux is not a mainstream gaming platform [11:48] <maximilion> I have alanhaggai :) [11:48] <Thurin1> Rodolfo: Ok well good luck with that [11:48] <Assid> Thurin1: i decided to keep windows dualboot for that [11:48] <frup> it's been that way for quite a while [11:48] <alanhaggai> maximilion, did it work? :-) [11:48] <Thurin1> ikonia: Thank you for the obvious :P [11:48] <maximilion> 156 fps in 1600x1200 :) [11:48] <alanhaggai> Cool :-) [11:48] <Thurin1> ikonia: It's a shame though because.. the few games Linux does have perform so much better than they do on Windows. :) [11:48] <Rodolfo> Thurin1: thanks :) [11:48] <maximilion> Thurin1: So I go to the folder with the makefile, type configure, then make, then sudo makefile? [11:48] <Thurin1> I have no games.. i'm on FreeBSD which is horrible for games [11:48] <Thurin1> hahaha [11:49] <ikonia> maximilion: no. What are you trying to build [11:49] <Assid> maximilion: you usea CRT/LCD? [11:49] <alanhaggai> maximilion, It is sudo make install [11:49] <alanhaggai> and not sudo Makefile [11:49] <DDragon> its not a mainstream gaming platform but it is used as gaming servers [11:49] <Thurin1> maximilion: in this sequence --- ./configure <wait> make <wait> sudo make install (done, yay, beer time!) [11:49] <Rodolfo> Thurin1: why not use an "emulator"? cedega does it well... [11:49] <Thurin1> Rodolfo: FreeBSD is not Linux so.. yah [11:49] <maximilion> Assid: LCD - 156 fps is the benchmark. I can run 156 fps ingame, but screen will ofc only show 60 Hz [11:50] <Assid> Rodolfo: cedega uses something similar to wine [11:50] <Thurin1> Cedega does not really work that well on BSD [11:50] <Assid> maximilion: sweet.. which game? [11:50] <alanhaggai> Why? [11:50] <Thurin1> But it does not matter - I don't play games anyways :) [11:50] <maximilion> Assid: I have a Dell 27" [11:50] <alexkreuz> can anyone tell me where i can get the kernel-source from? [11:50] <Thurin1> The closest I come to gaming is Zsnes from time to time [11:50] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: kernel.org [11:50] <Assid> how do i confirm im on 1680x1050@60hz ? [11:50] <ikonia> alexkreuz: which kernel source, the ubuntu package or vanilla ? [11:50] <alanhaggai> aleX-xx, kernel.org [11:50] <ikonia> Thurin1: careful [11:50] <alexkreuz> ubuntu i guess [11:50] <Rodolfo> Assid: I believed in that as well...but I didn't find out WHY warcraft III TFT runs great on cedega and terribly on wine... [11:50] <alexkreuz> not really sure [11:50] <ikonia> alexkreuz: ok - what do you want to do with it ? [11:50] <alexkreuz> nvidia needs it to compile [11:50] <alanhaggai> alexkreuz, http://kernel.org [11:51] <maximilion> Well, the 156 fps is from Quake 3 running on nvidia 6800 generic drivers - also Doom etc [11:51] <alexkreuz> nvidia-installer --update [11:51] <alexkreuz> needs it [11:51] <Thurin1> ikonia: Yeah, I know... Zsnes might kill my resources! [11:51] <Thurin1> :) [11:51] <Assid> Rodolfo: cedega is a paid platform [11:51] <simion314> hi, can i load in parallels my real windows xp partition? it will be a waste of space and time to install other xp [11:51] <osfameron> Rodolfo: isn't cedega optimized for playing games? [11:51] <maximilion> And I guess the Jedi Knight, RTCW etc will also run fine [11:51] <ikonia> alexkreuz: ok - why are you doing nvidia-installer --update ? [11:51] <Thurin1> osfameron: Yes [11:51] <Thurin1> It sort of emulates DX from what I can gather [11:51] <alexkreuz> to update my nvidia drivers [11:51] <Thurin1> Works very well under Ubuntu [11:51] <ikonia> alexkreuz: why ? [11:51] <ikonia> alexkreuz: why do you want to update them [11:51] <maximilion> Assid: I have a 6800 non-ultra (cheap) gfx card [11:51] <alexkreuz> so i can get updated drivers? [11:51] <dns53> alexkreuz: there is an update from memory [11:51] <echo__> can somebody tell me how to get Eclipse running? it doesnt define all the Java classes i need. [11:51] <alexkreuz> whats that got to do with it? [11:52] <ikonia> alexkreuz: but why do you want updated drivers ? [11:52] <Thurin1> I played Warcraft III on Cedega/Ubuntu - It was amazing how well it played on an old PIII (My ubuntu machine) with a Radeon 7000. [11:52] <ikonia> alexkreuz: what reason do you want updated drivers [11:52] <Assid> maximilion: sweet.. you tried this on windows? [11:52] <Rodolfo> Cedega or WineX...whatever. The difference between them is not about paid platform or not at all. [11:52] <alexkreuz> whats it to you? [11:52] <Thurin1> Ubuntu really is probably the best choice for a gamer in Linux... [11:52] <alexkreuz> my issue is i need the kernel-source [11:52] <ikonia> alexkreuz: to try to provide you the best advice possible [11:52] <Assid> Rodolfo: cedega optimizes use of directx [11:52] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: That is where the kernel source is - kernel.org [11:52] <alanhaggai> echo__, try #eclipse. They might be able to help you. [11:52] <echo__> thx [11:52] <ikonia> alexkreuz: why is the reason you wnat to update the nvidia drivers [11:52] <Rodolfo> Assid: and wine uses OGL instead. [11:52] <alexkreuz> Thurin1, can i get the kernel-source from apt-get? [11:53] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: You go to the downloads and there they are [11:53] <alanhaggai> echo__, No problem. :-) [11:53] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: Probably but it's out of date [11:53] <alanhaggai> alexkreuz, yes. [11:53] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: What do you want to do with the kernel source? recompile a kernel? [11:53] <maximilion> Assid: Well on my C2D/ATi X1950 Pro machine Quake 3 runs faster ofc. On the same machine in XP 64-bit: totally unplayable. Maybe 30 fps. [11:53] <Rodolfo> Assid: that's because WC3 is unplayable. (maybe) [11:53] <ikonia> alexkreuz: it's important to understand why you want th eupdate deu to driver/kernel compatability [11:53] <alexkreuz> im trying to update my nvidia driver and to update it, it needs the kernel-source [11:53] <maximilion> Same machine as this Ubuntu* [11:53] <Thurin1> If that's the case.. i'd get the latest from kernel.org [11:53] <ikonia> alexkreuz: but WHY do you want to update your kernel driver [11:53] <alexkreuz> so id prefer the same src im running already [11:53] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: Synaptic - > kernel [11:54] <ikonia> Thurin1: thats not going to help him getting the source tar from kernel.org [11:54] <ikonia> alexkreuz: what is the reason you require the updated drivers ? [11:54] <alexkreuz> Thurin, kernel-package? [11:54] <maximilion> Thurin1, anyone: I have a makefile called rules. I'm in its folder in the terminal. How do I make install? [11:54] <alexkreuz> i dont have a straight up kernel in synaptic [11:55] <Thurin1> maximilion: Did you configure? [11:55] <ikonia> alexkreuz: i's clear you have no idea what you are doing and you refuse to answer questions. So enjoy breaking your machine [11:55] <Assid> stupid xchat crashed [11:55] <pvh_sa|wrk> hi, i'm trying to set up a LTSP server on ubuntu - trying to understand the setup for now [11:55] <Assid> i shoulda stuck to kvirc [11:55] <alexkreuz> ikonia, no shit im breakig my machine [11:55] <alexkreuz> thats the point of this [11:55] <alexkreuz> you want to know why im updating? [11:55] <Thurin1> maximilion: After configure - you 'make' which compiles then you 'sudo make install' [11:55] <pluffsy> hi [11:55] <ikonia> alexkreuz: moderate your langauge [11:55] <alexkreuz> because im curious about what the latest drivers offer [11:55] <maximilion> Thurin1: typed ./configure -> No such file or folder, then configure -> some other error [11:55] <hesamh> yello, my name is unclefucker [11:55] <ikonia> alexkreuz: they will offer you incompatability with your kernel interface [11:55] <ikonia> !ops | hesamh [11:55] <ubotu> hesamh: Help!

[11:56] <Assid> i dont see anything in xorg's log [11:56] <maximilion> Assid: Press the menu button on your monitor? [11:56] <pvh_sa|wrk> as i get it, the client is passed a boot file using DHCP - pxelinux.0 - and then it mounts the filesystem via NFS ? how is the info on where to nfs mount root set? [11:56] <ikonia> alexkreuz: sure - go for it. [11:56] <kloeri> hesamh: don't troll please [11:56] <Thurin1> maximilion: ok, well try.. just typing 'make' if that does not work - try looking through all dirs for a configure file (it will be ... "configure") [11:56] <ikonia> alexkreuz: go break your machien, then re-install when you are done [11:56] <ali1234> maximilion: just ./configure. and if it fails, you probably need to install some development libs [11:56] <Assid> maximilion: dont see an option to see it :( [11:56] <au_> hey. do u know some good graphic viewer for console? [11:56] <alexkreuz> geez ikonia, its a separate partition that im PLAYING with [11:56] <Assid> got it [11:56] <alexkreuz> get over it [11:56] <Assid> wait [11:56] <neville> You're not very nice ikonia [11:56] <ikonia> alexkreuz: thats fine, go do it then [11:56] <maximilion> Assid: Look for a menu called Hz, Settings, Display Informatin... [11:57] <Thurin1> ikonia: Breaking stuff is part of the fun [11:57] <ikonia> Thurin1: I have no issue with that, just people doding questions when they clearly have no idea what they are doing [11:57] <Thurin1> ikonia: Well no one is born a Linux pro.. so [11:57] <alanhaggai> Very true. [11:57] <Assid> okay if it says v. frequence 59.9 hz [11:57] <Assid> so i guess thats 60hz right ? [11:57] <alanhaggai> We are all learning. [11:57] <ikonia> Thurin1: no-one said they are - but then get advice/help - don't just ignore it blindly [11:58] <karmelek> It is correct sentence?: 'Can I ask you who gave you those lovely flowers?' [11:58] <alexkreuz> ikonia [11:58] <alexkreuz> i asked [11:58] <alexkreuz> where can i get the kernel-source [11:58] <alexkreuz> thats it [11:58] <Assid> picel clock 146mhz .. is that good? [11:58] <ikonia> karmelek: this is an ubuntu support channel [11:58] <alexkreuz> whats it to you why i need it? [11:58] <Thurin1> karmelek: Sort of the wrong channel no? [11:59] <alexkreuz> maybe i wanna make a dirty bomb with it [11:59] <ikonia> alexkreuz: because peopel who do'nt know what they are doing - don't often know what they really want [11:59] <alexkreuz> maybe i wanna power my coffee machine with it [11:59] <karmelek> ikonia: woops - i choose wrong tab [11:59] <karmelek> sorry [11:59] <ali1234> alexkreuz: question is flawed because you don;t need the whole kernel source for what you are doing, just the ehaders (which are in apt) [11:59] <ikonia> alexkreuz: the package is called kernel-source - there is your answer go break your machine [11:59] <maximilion> Assid: Yes, that's 60 Hz. And pixel clock depends on resolution - it's what the gfx card can output. Is there a problem? [11:59] <ikonia> ali1234 exactly - thank you, hence why trying to get more info from someone trying to be clever with smart boy responses [11:59] <neville> alexkreuz what exactly is this in relation to? [11:59] <gumis> in which repository i can find 2.6.17 kernel, and how to install it? [11:59] <alexkreuz> geez [12:00] <Thurin1> gumis: ... kernel.org [12:00] <Assid> maximilion: nah no problem.. just wanna get the most of the machine.. ive spent enuff cash.. time to get some returns [12:00] <ikonia> Thurin1: thats not a repo [12:00] <erUSUL> gumis: 17 kernel is the kernel used in edgy iirc [12:00] <ikonia> Thurin1: stop giving out advice like that [12:00] <Thurin1> ikonia: He did not say ubuntu-kernel, did he? [12:00] <Thurin1> He said kernel 2.6.17 [12:00] <alexkreuz> my problem [12:00] <alexkreuz> is that i dont HAVE a kernel-source in apt-get [12:00] <ikonia> Thurin1 be realistic - he's running ubuntu [12:01] <alexkreuz> the one i have isnt getting [12:01] <erUSUL> gumis: why do you need such an old kernel? [12:01] <alexkreuz> the closest i have is kernel-package [12:01] <Thurin1> ikonia: Which means nothing .. Ubuntu is only a linux [12:01] <maximilion> Assid: Normally, even for good LCDs, in the highest resolutions you get lower Hz. But even the best LCDs can hardly go over 75 Hz. [12:01] <ikonia> Thurin1 jus consider what your advising people to do, most people are new and don't actually know what they want [12:01] <Thurin1> You can switch kernels all day long regardless of distro [12:01] <erUSUL> ubotu tell alexkreuz about kernel | alexkreuz see priv msg from ubotu [12:01] <Assid> maximilion: yep [12:01] <neville> alexkreuz, have you got source sources enabled in your package manager? [12:01] <Thurin1> ikonia: He just told me what he wants [12:02] <Thurin1> kernel 2.6.17 [12:02] <Thurin1> and how to install - http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu [12:02] <ikonia> Thurin1: keep in mind the majority of the users are new users [12:02] <Thurin1> ikonia: Indeed and breaking things will let them learn [12:02] <maximilion> Assid: My best solution is to only have max resolution and set the screen to not scale up lower resolutions. [12:02] <ikonia> Thurin1: no - thats not what we are here to do [12:02] <Assid> my stupid webcam dont work :( [12:02] <alexkreuz> neville, yes [12:02] <p00tz> How can I change the place in desktop where windows are opened? Right now, every new window I open starts in the top left corner, with the window title bar hidden under the taskbar :\ [12:03] <alanhaggai> alexkreuz, got the source yet? [12:03] <gumis> i have identical problem as described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=643058 [12:03] <Assid> maximilion: problem if you use something like media files or such where the source isnt a sclable vector [12:03] <alanhaggai> alexkreuz, http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/devel/linux-source [12:04] <ali1234> p00tz: sounds like you might have a problem with your window manager? can you drag withows with ALT+drag? [12:04] <maximilion> Assid: I have no problems at all, when I'm watcing media I'm in the desktop anyway, and when a game starts a lower resolution I get a perfect (not stretched) picture with black borders :) I like it. [12:04] <michael__> frankgrimes98 [12:04] <p00tz> yes ali1234, i can [12:05] <p00tz> this started happening after i installed compiz [12:05] <erUSUL> gumis: are you on the affected machine? can you test something? [12:05] * maximilion is away (coffee) [12:05] <Thurin1> maximilion: widescreen gaming? :o [12:05] <Pirate_Hunter> hello I want to know what killer apps are available for ubuntu? [12:05] <Assid> maximilion: true.. but then shifting back and forth on resolutions.. damn [12:05] <Mez> Thurin1, if you're going to give advice that is dangerous, at least warn whoever how dangerous it can be and give them a safe option too ;) [12:05] <Assid> i prefer higher res gaming [12:05] <ikonia> Pirate_Hunter: depends what you want to do [12:05] <gumis> gumis: yes, i installed squid on my debian server [12:05] <ali1234> p00tz: perhaps ask in #compiz-fusion [12:05] <gumis> and connecting via proxy, but i must have direct access to internet === michael__ is now known as frankgrimes90 [12:06] <Thurin1> Mez: Well telling someone where a kernel is isn't exactly 'dangerous' :P it's risky [12:06] <Pirate_Hunter> ikonia: just wish for a list of apps that fit as killer app, hope that makes sense [12:06] <citm> !sources.lst [12:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sources.lst - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [12:06] <p00tz> ali1234: ok I will :) thx for the tip [12:06] <citm> where is sources.lst file located and how do i edit it? [12:06] <ikonia> Pirate_Hunter: not really, it depends what you want to do, maplyer is a great video app for example. [12:06] <iari> Hi! Can someone PLEASE help me? I own a laptop & the only thing keeping me from wiping my windows partition and moving to ubuntu is the fact I can't go into Hibernation. I couldn't find anything that works in the forums nor google.. Any one's got an idea how to fix hibernation for Thinkpad T43p ? [12:06] <Mez> Thurin1, it's dangerous as iuf they dont know what they are doing, it can render their computer unusable without a re-install to them. [12:06] <idran2> I have a problem with my pakages: acpid, acpi-support and powermanagement-interface.The dpkg --configure -a produce this report: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55191/ this is in italian lenguage but i can traslate it! [12:07] <Thurin1> Mez: True, so a disclaimer should be added to the end of the sentence, yes. [12:07] <ali1234> Pirate_Hunter: most of the best apps are available for other platforms, so don't qualify as "killer apps" [12:07] <Pirate_Hunter> ikonia: ok I thought that it was a particular type of aps but now it seems it would depend on preferences... hmmm ok [12:07] <Mez> Thurin1, please do in future ;) [12:07] <Mez> idran2, try a sudo apt-get install -f [12:07] <Pirate_Hunter> ali1234: yeah I just thought killer apps were particular not something that everyone would agree on [12:08] <ali1234> Pirate_Hunter: actually my favourite killer app has to be apt :) [12:08] <Thurin1> Mplayer, 'Terminal', Audacious, Rezound, Abiword, those are a few killer apps - but it really does depend on your taste too... some people prefer light weight apps some.. enjoy heavier more feature rich applications. [12:08] <iari> Anyone ? [12:08] <alexkreuz> ok got it [12:08] <alexkreuz> 2.6.22.14 [12:08] <alexkreuz> thx Thurin1 [12:08] <Pirate_Hunter> ali1234: o.k. [12:08] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: Apt.. is the envy of the 'unix-like' world. [12:08] <alexkreuz> yea [12:08] <alexkreuz> but i didnt get it off apt [12:08] <gumis> ,i'm to linux, so i'm looking for something like "sudo apt-get install kernel-2.6.17-xxx", reboot and choose new kernel :) [12:08] <alexkreuz> it wasnt in there [12:08] <alexkreuz> i got it off kernel.org [12:09] <iari> Is there someone that might be able to help me ?? [12:09] <Pirate_Hunter> ali1234: can synaptic be considered a killer up as it is one of the best/most commonly used in ubuntu [12:09] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: Now for the disclaimer -: Anything you do with kernels may damage your system, you are not in anyway advised to use them - in using them you assume the risks of damaging your install. [12:09] <alexkreuz> :) [12:09] <alexkreuz> i know [12:09] <alexkreuz> Thurin1, is there a standard path that the kernel source is usually placed in? [12:09] <frup> iari have you posted on Ubuntuforums? [12:10] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: Yes if you want to educate yourself a bit more on how the kernel works.. or how to build one and the directories and what they mean give this a look - http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu [12:11] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: I advise you NOT to follow the howto unless you feel that you are 'ready' and understand what you are doing - you can indeed render your system unbootable. [12:11] <Silthias> afternoon [12:11] <Thurin1> Also note that 'kernel headers' and 'kernel sources' are not the same thing - and be sure of what an application is requesting. [12:11] <Thurin1> enough disclaimers? :D [12:11] <alexkreuz> cool thx [12:11] <Thurin1> OH alexkreuz last thing.. [12:11] <alexkreuz> its ok if it gets unbootable, i have my ubuntu cd handy [12:12] <pluffsy> I did this: sudo apt-get install openntpd and thought that would be enough to make my computer get the time from a clockserver automatically. the process is running but the time is never right. any idea why it isn't working? [12:12] <Thurin1> If you do decide to compile a kernel - make sure you have spare time.. it takes a lot of resources and time [12:12] <iari> frup: yes a long time ago.. they advised TuxOnIce but when I try to run 'make' I get an error : 'make[1]: *** No rule to make target `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.c', needed by `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s'. Stop. [12:12] <iari> make: *** [prepare0] Error 2' [12:12] <Thurin1> But you do learn a lot and get to tweak and really get rid of the fat that your system does not use and make a leaner system [12:12] <erUSUL> gumis: try this sudo sh -c "echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling" [12:13] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: Yeah.. well always backup your unreplaceable data :) as for Ubuntu.. if you have the cd.. really who cares [12:13] <maximilion> As per instructions I made a subfolder to /usr and chmodded it 777. Still can't use file browser to copy stuff into it. How? [12:14] <frup> iari You are using 32bit? [12:14] <erUSUL> maximilion: why would you want to copy files there? user thata belongs to /home/ [12:14] <maximilion> Could I "sudo nautilus" or something? [12:14] <Thurin1> maximilion: Err why did you chmod to 777?> [12:14] <erUSUL> maximilion: s/thata/data/ [12:15] <maximilion> erUSUL: I know it's 'dirty', but it's in a sub-folder, and the software expects it there... badly coded maybe [12:15] <Thurin1> maximilion: sudo when you wish to use root commands, then chmod the stuff you need.. don't get into a habit of chmod'ing to 777 that's really insecure [12:15] <IanLiu> Hi. I am trying to install Cedega from CVS, but I am having some troubles with the installation script. After the 2nd step (checkout) comes the Configure step, which throws and error: "/home/ian/.WineCVS/Functions/DefaultProfile: line 628: ./configure: No such file or directory" [12:15] <erUSUL> maximilion: what software? [12:15] <maximilion> Thurin1: I thought doing that would give anyone rights to copy into it [12:15] <gumis> erUSUL: it works!!! what this magic command did? [12:15] <Thurin1> maximilion: And write it - and read it - even outsiders [12:15] <KenSentMe> Apt is broken because an install of a deb crashed. The package can't be removed or reinstalled. When apt or synaptic is started it says it can't because the archive is missing. How can i let apt ignore that package and run synaptic to remove that package? [12:15] <Thurin1> maximilion: Just don't do that too often - especially in critical folders like /usr - you could get a good hacking [12:16] <Silthias> anyone able to explain how to append a new line to a document using a shell script? Iv tried to use sed but it isn't working, and can't find anything ont he net that explains it properly [12:16] <erUSUL> gumis: they are some screwed up routers on internet that doesn't support window scaling so the command disables it for ubuntu so you can use the net [12:16] <maximilion> Thurin1: I know, should I use 644? or 755 for folders? [12:16] <[0x90]> 755 [12:16] <maximilion> Still won't let me copy stuff to it from file browser [12:16] <frup> Silthias using "line" > document should work, it might be >> one is append one is overwrite [12:17] <Thurin1> maximilion: In your home folder... you can do as you will but.. try to keep away from 777 anywhere else.. but even at home 777 is really insecure [12:17] <Knightwise> hey everyone [12:17] <Silthias> (frup): cheers ill give it a try now [12:17] <maximilion> Thurin1: I know all this, I'm a webdev... when it's working I'll make it secure ofc. [12:17] <Thurin1> maximilion: You may have to logout/in to reflect the folder changes to nautilus [12:17] <Knightwise> could anybody point me to a good appliance - distro for network monitoring ? (spam control / antivirus) [12:18] <maximilion> Still don't see why that doesn't allow file browser to put files in it! [12:18] <Thurin1> maximilion: just saying in general :) [12:18] <Thurin1> maximilion: try as I said.. out and in again [12:18] <Thurin1> sometimes nautilus does not see folder changes for some reason until you logout/in [12:18] <mEck0> Hi! my sound is "rustles", i.e. no clear sound no matter which mediaplayer I'm using. what could be wrong? alsa? [12:19] <donkie> I want to read/write my /var/www catalog via network realtime (samba preferbly). but www-data own the /var/www catalog, must i chown the catalog to me? what is the best way [12:19] <Knightwise> anyone know of a good network security distro ? [12:19] <maximilion> Thurin1: Probably - rightclicking the folder, properties closed all nautilus windows ;) [12:19] <Knightwise> i would like to use a linux book as a firewall and stuff [12:19] <maximilion> brb [12:19] <Knightwise> linux box , not linux book [12:19] <frup> donkie add your user to the group [12:20] <Thurin1> mEck0: You're sure your mixer is unmuted and all? - because on new installs it's muted default [12:20] <gumis> so i don't need to downgrade kernel :) very thx erUSUL [12:20] <donkie> Knightwise: ipcop is a cool firewall [12:20] <frup> otherwise configure apache [12:20] <sunseeker888> HI guys, help needed. I have made a cd from windows containing all documents files (words processing). Can ubuntu read these files from the cd drive? it is saying no media in dvd drive [12:20] <donkie> Knightwise: or pfsense [12:20] <Thurin1> If that's ok - Synaptic and search for 'gstreamer' - install most of them, especially the oss/alsa ones (if not already installed) that sometimes fixes audio problems.. don't ask me how [12:20] <Silthias> (Knightwise): heard that backtrack is a good network security distro [12:20] <donkie> frup: add my username to the group www-data? [12:20] <mEck0> Thurin1, okay, can it be checked with alsamixer? I have sound, but it doesn't sounds as good as it should [12:21] <frup> try it [12:21] <Knightwise> yeah i know ipcop [12:21] <Thurin1> mEck0: What is your soundcard anyways? [12:21] <Aolep> hello all. need help... is there an optimized build of firefox for windows xp; like swiftweasel or swiftfox, which are for linux... [12:21] <Knightwise> but i would like something like astaro or something [12:21] <Knightwise> but i dont know if astaro is free [12:21] <donkie> frup: i think i tried that. hmm. trying again [12:21] <Thurin1> mEck0: Yes you can check with alsamixer - also check your balances - left/right [12:21] <Thurin1> I had mine, unknowingly, all the way to the left once and it was just static [12:22] <mEck0> Thurin1, okay, don't know the soundcard by heart now, but it's the built in one on my HP 6510b [12:22] <nomopofomo> getting this error while trying to compile lxsplit: /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.3/include/limits.h:122:61: error: limits.h: No such file or directory [12:22] <frup> donkie on my machine i actually just chowned /var/www, it's not good practice though [12:22] <nomopofomo> or make. whatever youc all it [12:23] <alipoor> :) [12:23] <mEck0> Thurin1, HDA Intel I see [12:23] <Thurin1> mEck0: Yeah.. some 'internal' soundcards are badly supported through alsa [12:23] <frup> donkie: on the server we use which is fedora 4 apache is configured to point to different users home directories etc... that's the best way maybe [12:23] <erUSUL> !intelhda [12:23] <ubotu> For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [12:23] <alipoor> EVERYBODY HATES ME AND THINK I'M AN IDIOT [12:23] <alipoor> EVERYBODY HATES ME AND THINK I'M AN IDIOT [12:23] <erUSUL> !caps [12:23] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [12:23] <alipoor> :) [12:23] <mEck0> erUSUL, thx [12:23] <Thurin1> mEck0: ... you could always try installing through Synaptic (it might already be) a package called 'alsa-utils' and then "sudo alsaconf" - maybe it will detect a better driver than what you are using now [12:23] <frup> woohoo!! alipoor [12:24] <KenSentMe> Apt is broken because an install of a deb crashed. The package can't be removed or reinstalled. When apt or synaptic is started it says it can't because the archive is missing. How can i let apt ignore that package and run synaptic to remove that package? [12:24] <Thurin1> erUSUL: Ah, so it is one of the .. so so supported cards/chipsets? [12:24] <mEck0> Thurin1, ok, because I haven't touched the soundsettings after installation of ubuntu, thx [12:24] <Thurin1> KenSentMe: try in a terminal ---- "sudo apt-get clean" [12:24] <alipoor> i believe Mary (Jesus' mom) was just a common whore impregnated by some stupid jew :) [12:24] <sunseeker888> Ubotu, can ubuntu read cd of only words documnet from msoffice [12:24] <Thurin1> KenSentMe: After that try re-installing the package [12:24] <frup> Well i'm going to sleep, it's SAT 0130 here.

[12:26] <donkie> well, forgot about www, my user cant create files logged in either. [12:26] <mEck0> Thurin1, maybe alsa-tools is the package I need for that? [12:26] <Thurin1> mEck0: I don't know where else then ... you could try /usr/bin/alsaconf.. Ubuntu is one linux where I never understood where alsaconf was... [12:26] <xcasex> ahem. xorg specifies the resolution and displays it correctly, gnome however is stuck at 1024x768 instead of 1366x768. where does gnome panel store its configuration [12:26] <Thurin1> mEck0: AH! could be [12:26] <Thurin1> mEck0: Try it .. you have nothing to lose but like 2mb's :) [12:27] <mEck0> Thurin1, hehe yeah [12:27] <Thurin1> xcasex: Did you go to 'system - screen resolution' ? [12:27] <xcasex> Thurin1, yeah 124x768 is the max res in the cappet [12:27] <xcasex> *capplet [12:27] <KenSentMe> Thurin1, thanks, after apt-get clean synaptic still wont open, it gives an error [12:28] <Thurin1> xcasex: Well.. Gnome doesn't really store anything res wise - xorg.conf controls that - you may need to add a modeline [12:28] <mEck0> Thurin1, didn't help [12:28] <MrEgg964> Hi everyone. I need some help here, because I messed up user privileges, and now I no longer have system administration privileges. Can anyone help me get them back? tia [12:28] <Thurin1> xcasex: /var/log/Xorg.0.log - find the resolutions it found and .. google the modelines and how they work [12:28] <Thurin1> mEck0: Well I suppose your stuck with the howto :( as I said some internal sound cards are really so so ... with Alsa [12:28] <erUSUL> MrEgg964: explain "I messed up user privileges" [12:28] <Peanut> MrEgg964: boot from the CD/DVD, and fix /etc/groups and or /etc/sudoers ? [12:29] <mEck0> Thurin1, ok, thanks for the help [12:29] <Thurin1> KenSentMe: Ok, what is the error again? [12:29] <Thurin1> mEck0: You're welcome [12:29] <KenSentMe> Thurin1, that the archive cant be found [12:29] <Thurin1> KenSentMe: And this is when your opening Synaptic? [12:29] <labinnsw> I have been trying for the last 3 days to find a solution to my problem.

Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this site. Any attempt to install the recommend plug-in s [12:30] <Thurin1> KenSentMe: It may seem lazy.. but try rebooting ... maybe clearing out some tmp's may help your situation [12:30] <xcasex> Thurin1, well. i know the resolution. depending on which you mean, xorg finds 1366x768, i have the correct modelines defined. [12:30] <KenSentMe> Thurin1, yesterday someone gave me a command to disregard packages to try to reinstall them because they are broken, i forgot it, do you know? [12:30] <cyroul> hi everyone [12:30] <KenSentMe> Thurin1, rebooting doesnt help [12:30] <Thurin1> xcasex: So you have added a modeline? - you can also try adding the option "NoDDC" (google again) to your Xorg.conf [12:30] <wil> I am trying to learn linux... I installed some packages but nothing is in the applications menu. Is there any site that has a list of what the folder structures actually mean? (e.g. etc, lib, var, root e.t.c.) [12:31] <erUSUL> labinnsw: maybe the answer is that the plugins needed do not exists for linux (shockwave and avtiveX) [12:31] <MrEgg964> erUSUL: well, I created in new group, 'shared', using groupadd shared. Then I add myself to the group, using usermod - G shared fred (fred being my username). If I groups fred, I can see that I am part of two groups : fred and shared. But I can no longer sudo, nor add/remove/update my system. [12:31] <Thurin1> KenSentMe: No, I have never come by this problem myself.. sorry I do not know the command [12:31] <xcasex> Thurin1, again, this is what xorg autoconfigured itself to use, gnome boxes itself at 1024x768. [12:31] <Jay955> i have no problem mapping to the home folder from my xp side but it will not let me browse my shared folder on my secondary drive [12:31] <labinnsw> erUSUL Thanks for the response [12:31] <xcasex> whereas the display is at 1366x768 [12:31] <xcasex> looks very odd [12:31] <alexkreuz> woot [12:31] <erUSUL> MrEgg964: boot into recovery mode and add yourself to the admin group use "sudo adduser fred admin" [12:32] <alexkreuz> i now got the latest nvidia drivers working [12:32] <KenSentMe> Thurin1, ok, thanks for your help [12:32] <alexkreuz> :) [12:32] <alexkreuz> thx Thurin1 [12:32] <Thurin1> xcasex: And what I am saying to you is the autoconfig is obviously wrong and Gnome has nothing to do with it - all it does is read from xorg.conf - you must figure out whats wrong in that [12:32] <erUSUL> MrEgg964: usermod - G shared fred is a bad bad idea becouse usermod remove you from all the groups you were to place you on the shared group only [12:32] <Thurin1> xcasex: and you either need to add option "NoDDC" or literally add a modeline to your config file [12:32] <xcasex> well the autoconfig is right, according to the specs of the laptop display [12:32] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: you're welcome :) [12:32] <erUSUL> MrEgg964: from now on use adduser [12:32] <idefix> I hope I didn't tick any people off here in the past [12:33] <cyroul> anyone has tried hardy ? [12:33] <Thurin1> xcasex: It's not right if you do not have the right resolution, correct? [12:33] <Dr_Willis> idefix, we all got short memories. :) [12:33] <Dr_Willis> cyroul, yes. :) discussion of it in #ubuntu+1 [12:33] <Thurin1> xcasex: There is no point discussing Gnome - Gnome has nothing to do with resolutions [12:33] <erUSUL> MrEgg964: once you get again admin rights you will have to add yourself to many other groups or some things will fail (as audio plugdev lpadmin etc...) [12:33] <xcasex> Thurin1, dear god. listen to what i am saying [12:33] <cyroul> Dr_Willis: thks [12:34] <xcasex> the laptop display is capable of 1366x768 [12:34] <Thurin1> xcasex: You said your resolution is bad yes [12:34] <xcasex> this is what it is using [12:34] <Dr_Willis> thats a weird res. [12:34] <xcasex> gnome boxes itself, i.e cuts off as a normal desktop at 1024px [12:34] <MrEgg964> erUSUL: ok, will do. Thanks a lot ; I wasn't aware usermod -G would do that, as help states "new list fo supplementary groups" (as opposed to -g). [12:34] <xcasex> Dr_Willis, asus u1e laptop [12:34] <erUSUL> Dr_Willis: LCD tv standar res [12:34] <Thurin1> xcasex: Yes I know - ............. [12:34] <erUSUL> MrEgg964: ;) [12:34] <Thurin1> xcasex: You need "NoDDC" [12:34] <Thurin1> That's what I'm saying [12:35] <Thurin1> xcasex: I'm also saying that it again, has nothing to do with Gnome itself - it's the xorg.conf file that's the problem [12:35] <xcasex> Thurin1, right. [12:35] <Thurin1> The resolution is proper but the drawing of gnome is too small, or big - again 'NoDDC" [12:35] <xcasex> Thurin1, not very helpful :) [12:35] <xcasex> aha. [12:35] <alexkreuz> Thurin, have you ever tried cedega? [12:35] <Thurin1> And if that fails... modeline [12:36] <xcasex> well googled it and trying it then [12:36] <Thurin1> xcasex: This exact same thing happened to me on arch and FreeBSD [12:36] <Thurin1> xcasex: Let me guess.. ATI? [12:36] <levander> Does anyone have a RAZR V3xx that they use to put music on from Linux? [12:36] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: Yes [12:36] <alexkreuz> Thurin1, can you get it to have decent framerates? [12:37] <levander> I'm just wondering how well it works [12:37] <pale-yafa> Hi, is it true that www-data should never ever be the owner of /home/user/public_html [12:37] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: Sure, depends what sort of hardware you have - the games I played on Cedega actually performed better than in Windows on the same machine and hardware specs.. [12:37] <xcasex> Thurin1, intel 965 [12:37] <alexkreuz> hmm [12:37] <alexkreuz> well ive got a nvidia card [12:37] <alexkreuz> but updating the drivers didnt do much [12:37] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: But do keep in mind that not every windows game plays in cedega the ones I tried are like 'platnium' status [12:37] <alexkreuz> well [12:37] <alexkreuz> true [12:37] <Thurin1> xcasex: ... err yeah [12:38] <alexkreuz> the one one ive tried so far is guild wars [12:38] <IanLiu> Have someone successfully installed Cedega from CVS here? [12:38] <alexkreuz> it looks like im playing on a Radeon 8500 [12:38] <alexkreuz> mine is a 7900 GS [12:38] <Thurin1> It's that 'NoDDC' and even 'IgnoreEDID' options... bar that you literally need to insert a modeline into xorg.conf - if not... yeah you keep getting a massive gnome.. or a gnome inside a black box [12:39] <mEck0> Thurin1, one question, I'm reading the guide for installing alsa from source now, do I need to uninstall the alsa-version which is installed at the moment, or will it be overwritten? [12:39] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: Never tried guildwars in Linux.. performance is good? [12:39] <alexkreuz> well [12:39] <alexkreuz> im a linux n00b so im not sure if im doing something wrong [12:39] <alexkreuz> but not for me [12:39] <alexkreuz> the performance is poor [12:39] <Thurin1> mEck0: It's better to un-install it - but to be honest you are most likely wasting your time unless you found a supported driver in the source version [12:39] <alexkreuz> with both default, synaptic's latest, as well as nvidia's latest drivers [12:40] <alexkreuz> er, not both but all three [12:40] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: Cpu/RAM ? [12:40] <alexkreuz> Intel Core 2 DUO [12:40] <alexkreuz> 2 GB Ram [12:40] <alexkreuz> Nvidia 7900GS [12:40] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: Gebus.. :o [12:40] <alexkreuz> SATA 3GB/S [12:40] <mEck0> Thurin1, ok [12:40] <Thurin1> And it's still poor? [12:40] <alexkreuz> i know [12:40] <Thurin1> bad :( [12:40] <idefix> what exactly is an io-slave? an input output slave? what does it do? [12:40] <alexkreuz> it not a hardware issue because [12:40] <alexkreuz> for example [12:40] <Thurin1> Warcraft is pretty smooth [12:40] <alexkreuz> the smoke effects [12:40] <alexkreuz> remind me of counterstrike 1 [12:40] <alexkreuz> not-transparent [12:40] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: But isnt guildwars DX? [12:40] <FloodBot2> alexkreuz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:40] <idefix> what's the difference of an io-slave to an io-master? [12:40] <alexkreuz> its not rendering properly [12:40] <wil> is there a guide anywhere for linux noobs that explains the folder structures? like what var, etc, root e.t.c. does? [12:40] <donkie> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55206/ <- my user need access to /var/www, why cant the user create files?

In the configuration step, there is an error which tells ./configure does not exist.. any tips? [12:42] <wil> Thurin1, thanks, I am looking now [12:42] <cpt_ahab> I'm having a reall problem and I'm a total Newbie [12:43] <cpt_ahab> please help [12:43] <cpt_ahab> can I paste in this channel ? [12:43] <Pici> !paste | cpt_ahab [12:43] <ubotu> cpt_ahab: 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) [12:43] <Thurin1> wil: Of course a few directories don't exist in Linux - so you won't need worry about those ;D [12:43] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: Far far better [12:43] <pale-yafa> wil: which package ? [12:43] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: GL works well in Linux.. DX has to be emulated all the time. [12:44] <mavi-> not emulated [12:44] <mavi-> translated [12:44] <cpt_ahab> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55207/ [12:44] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: MESA is GL, you see so it does not have to be emulated - DX is emulated/translated. [12:44] <Frogzoo> !docs | wil [12:44] <ubotu> wil: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [12:44] <mavi-> and DX-translation works kinda good for now [12:44] <Thurin1> mavi-: How can you translate something without knowing the source? [12:44] <cpt_ahab> that is just a simpler mailer that is erroring [12:44] <mavi-> you translate the op-codes [12:44] <Thurin1> You cannot translate a book you've never read :o [12:44] <Thurin1> :) [12:44] <mavi-> emulating would be to render in software [12:45] <cpt_ahab> the error log is saying "fatal: Recipient addresses must be specified on the command line or via the -t option [12:45] <cpt_ahab> any ideas ? [12:45] <wil> pale-yafa, Mainly I wanted to take a look at tiny-erp (it was in add remove, but created no icons in applications, however it came up when I typed erp in search :S), but I have no idea where the actual folder was located.... and aol server (that sounded intresting) and a couple of other things... I dont want to ask for help on every issue I have, I just want to work out where files are installed and how to do things for myself! [12:45] <ali1234> it doesn't matter whether you use GL or GX, it still has to be translated to GPU opcodes... [12:45] <Thurin1> mavi-: Well whatever way we slice it .. DX is slower in Linux than a GL based game (most) of the time. [12:45] <mavi-> yeah [12:45] <alexkreuz> yea im ranging between 15 and 80 fps with plenty of lag in between [12:45] <Thurin1> And some DX stuff is simply not supported [12:45] <mavi-> you can install native DX in wine tho, makes some games better and give you support for more stuff [12:46] <Thurin1> mavi-: yah [12:46] <wil> its just annoying (but funny) that some apps that I have tried like linux spring-ta... I just can not get working properlly and I have more luck running the windows version under wine! [12:46] <Pici> cpt_ahab: It would probably be more appropriate if you asked that in ##php :) [12:46] <cpt_ahab> LOL [12:46] <pale-yafa> wil: usually when you install something you will see it in application, but some stuff needs to be launched from terminal, try looking at the docs of your package, and you should find help, and also try man package_name [12:46] <cpt_ahab> thay told me to caom here :) [12:47] <donkie> what channel could help me with user filerights problems? [12:47] <xcasex> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/178596 !!!!!!!!!!!! [12:48] <Thurin1> xcasex: Told you - it's the same with ATI [12:48] <Thurin1> it's a known issue.. and only NoDCC/IgnoreEDID and modelines fixes it... well for some ATI cards anyways. [12:48] <lonran> hi everyody [12:49] <xcasex> Thurin1, bah ;_; [12:49] <citm> i want to reinstall ubuntu because my install messed up. I have gone back into live cd, but when i get to the partition part of the install i cant seem to select the partition i want to install it to. [12:49] <Thurin1> The more they try to add to xorg.. the worse it gets - they should fork into xorg-ati and xorg-nv. That's what I think. [12:49] <lonran> is it normal that do "sudo apt-get build-dep rhythmbox" when it is installed and it ask to download 118Mb? [12:50] <Thurin1> lonran: yeah [12:50] <Pici> lonran: yes. [12:50] <Thurin1> lonran: No! actually [12:50] <Elko_> Hello, I don't seem to be able to find apache-modconf: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55208/ - Where can I get it? [12:50] <Thurin1> lonran: It should ask you, in a perfect world, if you would like to download a supermodel as well. [12:50] <Thurin1> :P [12:50] <alexkreuz> actually, the lag COULD be explained in another way [12:50] <Pici> lonran: The build depends are packages that are needed to compile the application. Not packages needed to run it. [12:50] <alexkreuz> guild wars is downloading data in the background [12:50] <alexkreuz> cuz its a new install [12:50] <alexkreuz> so that may be causing hte lag [12:51] <lonran> Pici, thnks [12:51] <Thurin1> sudo apt-get retrieve lindsay lohan [12:51] <Thurin1> hah [12:51] <alexkreuz> the lag seems more like network latency rather than hardware problem [12:51] <citm> how do ireinstall ubuntu? [12:51] <Thurin1> citm: .. cfdisk and break things, for fun, and then re-install (that's the hard way, but probably the best) [12:52] <Thurin1> I'm not sure if you can install ubuntu-ontop of ubuntu.. but that's probably a bad idea anyways - so cfdisk, delete all the partitions and reboot with your Ubuntu cd. [12:52] <Pici> citm: Put the ubuntu CD in, install. [12:52] <pajamian> citm: can always try the alternate install CD, I've found the partitioning in that to be easier (as a personal opinion). [12:52] <citm> cfdisk? Just delete my partitions and recreate them? I cant select the partition i want it to install to when i get to the partition part of the install process [12:52] <Thurin1> citm: yup [12:52] <alexkreuz> couldnt you make a 2nd ext3 partition and install ubuntu there? [12:52] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: Yeah, but why waste the diskspace? [12:53] <alexkreuz> oh, i thought he didnt want to mess up the existnig one [12:53] <Thurin1> ahh [12:53] <alexkreuz> Thurin1, have you used vmware server on linux? [12:53] <citm> what do i put for mount point, when i am recreating the partitions? [12:54] <Thurin1> Well I never worry about the OS.. that I can get back, it's the unreplaceable stuff I worry about you know like things I create - one of a king docs/pics etc :D [12:54] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: Nope can't say that I have [12:54] <pajamian> citm: for a single partition install: / [12:54] <alexkreuz> i am debating whether to convert my 2nd machine to linux or server 2003 [12:54] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: Well what do you want to do? [12:54] <citm> Well when i select the partition i want it to install to (cause i need dual boot) i just get the error: No Root File System [12:54] <alexkreuz> with server 2003 i can go with ms virtual server 2005, with linux probably vmware server [12:55] <alexkreuz> well, i want to be able to run multipl evirtual machines on it as well as play games [12:55] <citm> No root file system is defined. [12:55] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: Bah, 2003. [12:55] <alexkreuz> its kind of a multi-purpose machine [12:55] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: It will be easier [12:55] <alexkreuz> im not worried about easier, but i would lik eperformance [12:55] <alexkreuz> the stopping factor is (like always) games [12:55] <Thurin1> alexkreuz: Server performance wise Ubuntu or some other variant .. but ... games 2003. [12:56] <moad> where do i get a linux keylogger ? [12:56] <Thurin1> It's too bad because Linux/Ubuntu is really good with native games - very speedy. [12:56] <Thurin1> moad: Google [12:56] <Thurin1> :) [12:56] <alexkreuz> well, i dunno i think cedega is doing the trick [12:56] <moad> i couldnt find anything , anyone knows a free one that i could use ? [12:56] <alexkreuz> 1) i changed the profile from win98 to winxp, and that solved the graphics glitches [12:57] <pajamian> moad: what do you want a keylogger for? [12:57] <alexkreuz> and 2) i think the lag is just network latency cuz guild wars is downloading patches [12:57] <FGsTkkMa> question: can u install ubuntun in a separate partition and thereafterr install ur program files in the old one. in other words, does it require programs to be installed in teh same part as system files? [12:57] <samt1> hi there [12:57] <pajamian> FGsTkkMa: define "programs" [12:57] <alexkreuz> also this new nvidia driver has improved my compiz fusion [12:57] <moad> pajamian: to check what my kids are doing when i am not there , only a little security [12:57] <samt1> i can't find much information about desktop search - i have the deskbar installed but when i use tracker to search i get no results [12:57] <alexkreuz> its really smooth now [12:57] <Slap_Stick> hey how can i use sudoers file to allow a group to su to a user without supplying a password? i tried %group ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/su - user but it still asks for a password [12:58] <FGsTkkMa> games, word editor...etc..anything [12:58] <shamrock> I can ssh in to my remote machine. But how do I chown a bunch of files? "sudo chown -R newuser *" doesnt work. It jus returns with no message. Suggestions? [12:58] <pajamian> FGsTkkMa: thing is, that it's not easy to separate the system components from the programs, with the exception of the Linux kernel everything is really "programs" [12:58] <compwiz18> Slap_Stick: I may be way off, but I think that you can't put parameters on the command- so maybe make a shell script that contains su - user and make it executable with sudo [12:59] <moad> so . could anyone help me? [12:59] <PLRE> YELLO! [12:59] <PLRE> EVERYBODY HATES ME AND THINK I'M AN IDIOT! [12:59] <Pici> !caps | PLRE [12:59] <Ziroday> I am trying to patch my madwifi-ng drivers with a patch from aircrack-ng.org, i have downloaded the .patch file but I have no idea what to do with it next, any pointers?

[13:01] <xcasex> Thurin1, hah. [13:01] <maximilion> Hm, I know rpms are not for Ubuntu. But is there an easy to use rpm installer? I have compiled other packages, but this one gives me hassle... [13:02] <xcasex> Thurin1, it wasnt all that we though it was [13:02] <maximilion> Any thoughts on yum ? What is recommended? [13:02] <xcasex> Thurin1, turns out it was trying to expand onto the dvi port [13:02] <Ziroday> maximilion: you can use alien to install .rpm files [13:02] <samt1> i can't find much information about desktop search - i have the deskbar installed but when i use tracker to search i get no results. does anyone know if something has to be enabled first? [13:02] <maximilion> Ziroday: I used alien, but didn't get a .deb file but a lot of folders. [13:02] <pajamian> FGsTkkMa: if you install programs from source you can put them where you want (which can easily be on a seperate partition), but if you install programs through apt or synaptic then they pretty much go where ubuntu puts them which is mixed up in the same directories as the other pre-installed programs. YOu can, however, put user files on a seperate partition, so things like your own personal settings, music, photos, documents, etc, wou [13:02] <pajamian> ld be seperate. === marko-_-_ is now known as marko-_- [13:03] <Ziroday> maximilion: you probably didnt use the correct options try sudo alien -i <rpmfile> [13:03] <maximilion> Ziroday: And I don't know how to run the correct makefile... lots of .bins and makefiles [13:04] <pc13> ola [13:04] <Ziroday> maximilion: and look for errors in the terminal [13:04] <pajamian> maximilion: what program are you trying to install? [13:04] <FGsTkkMa> paj> is there any way to edit synaptics or customize it or request it to ask me where anytime it installs anything? [13:04] <maximilion> Ziroday: I hereby bet my huge red hat that I did it that way, it worked for a few minutes, and reported no errors. [13:04] <itai-michaelson> is there a way to get rid of the SDA1 icon on my gnome desktop? [13:05] <pajamian> FGsTkkMa: not that I know of. It would be a setting for dpkg if you could. [13:05] <xerxes1358> Hello [13:05] <cpt_ahab> fixed it [13:05] <EtteSB> how would i go about working out where a .deb file installed to? [13:06] <alexkreuz> woot [13:06] <alexkreuz> stable 60 fps on guild wars [13:06] <Pici> EtteSB: dpkg -L packagename [13:06] <dreamer> can someone help me install googles video-upload-app? it's a .jar-file but I'm not sure how to handle it [13:06] <pajamian> itai-michaelson: if you're asking if you can turn off the drive icons on the desktop the answer is yes. [13:06] <EtteSB> thanks [13:06] <maximilion> Ziroday: I owe you a hat. :P Where should I send it? [13:06] <FGsTkkMa> ok, thanks this is my first time on linux so...=/ >Another question. is the xx3 or whatever it was called file system essetial for linux? also can programs be installed on ntfs [13:07] <mEck0> Thurin1, have just installed alsa manually and now it sounds much better :) [13:07] <compwiz18> FGsTkkMa: no, there are many filesystems, but ext3 is the one used by ubuntu by default - programs shouldn't be installed on ntfs be cause there will probably be permissions problems [13:08] <pajamian> FGsTkkMa: you can install programs on an ntfs filesystem, or whatever filesystem you want that linux can recognize, including FAT, VFAT, NTFS, ext2, ext3, XFS, reiser, ... the list goes on and on. [13:08] <alexkreuz> mEck0, what kind of sound card to you use? [13:08] <mEck0> alexkreuz, HDA Intel [13:08] <pajamian> FGsTkkMa: but refer to what compwiz18 said about permissions problems with ntfs [13:08] <FGsTkkMa> thanks paj, my inital thought was on what comp said. thanks for clearing that issue [13:08] <alexkreuz> ah [13:09] <FGsTkkMa> so the ideal is ext3 [13:09] <Pici> FGsTkkMa: ext3 or ext2 ideally. [13:09] <pajamian> FGsTkkMa: since you can't run the same programs in windows as you can in linux anyways, there really is no point to install linux programs on a windows filesystem. [13:09] <compwiz18> pajamian: FGsTkkMa: I have no evidence that permsisions will be screwed up, just a hunch [13:09] <Pici> FGsTkkMa: There are 'drivers' for windows that allow you to read/write on ext2/3 filesystems as well. [13:10] <FGsTkkMa> yeah my humble windows program understanding says so too [13:10] <pajamian> FGsTkkMa: compwiz18 XFS is a good one too, that's what I use, but ext3 is the default and it is excellent. [13:10] <compwiz18> jfs, reiserfs also work [13:10] <pajamian> FGsTkkMa: I wouldn't use ext2 except as a small boot partition or for things like floppy disks, it's old and lacks features such as journalling. [13:10] <FGsTkkMa> can u explain why it is good. i really dont know how files work in lunix or how the system is structured so >.< [13:10] <compwiz18> FGsTkkMa: it's basically a matter of choice and application, but ext3 is good for most purposes [13:11] <Luckenzy> olá? [13:11] <Pici> !es | Luckenzy [13:11] <ubotu> Luckenzy: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [13:11] <pajamian> FGsTkkMa: just use ext3 if you don't know the difference. it's a good all-purpose filesystem. [13:11] <FGsTkkMa> ok thanks [13:11] <compwiz18> FGsTkkMa: linux doesn't use drives, it just has a /, and everything (flash drives, cd drives, etc) can be found in a directory under / [13:11] <coolbhavi> keyboard keys not working [13:11] <coolbhavi> like q e r u i not working [13:12] <FGsTkkMa> seems more inteligent. anyone know where i can read more about ubuntu/linux's structures? [13:12] <coolbhavi> others are fine in gutsy [13:12] <compwiz18> coolbhavi: I won't ask how you're typing then, but does your keyboard work in other operating systems/other computers? [13:12] <coolbhavi> I am on fiesty now [13:13] <daniel92> FGsTkkMa: Just look for a tutoria on the linux filesystem [13:13] <compwiz18> coolbhavi: did you check your keyboard layout? [13:13] <pajamian> !ext3 | FGsTkkMa [13:13] <ubotu> FGsTkkMa: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [13:13] <compwiz18> FGsTkkMa: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=linux+filesystem+structure&btnG=Google+Search [13:13] <coolbhavi> yes it works perfectly in fiesty [13:13] <pajamian> hrmmm, that didn't say much, heh [13:13] <Some_ux> hi [13:13] <compwiz18> !hi | Some_ux [13:13] <ubotu> Some_ux: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [13:13] <coolbhavi> yes I did check [13:14] <compwiz18> coolbhavi: do the keys flat out not work, or do they type the wrong letters? [13:14] <coolbhavi> They get recognised when I run xev [13:15] <Some_ux> upgrade question: Any potential damage when going from 7.04 to 7.10 server ?

[13:16] <EtteSB> jay955: you got the drivers for windows to read ext partitions? [13:16] <coolbhavi> any help [13:16] <coolbhavi> ? [13:16] <itai-michaelson> pajamian, how do i do that ? ( [13:16] <Jay955> <EtteSB> yes i do [13:17] <Jay955> <EtteSB> it tells me i don't have permission [13:17] <pajamian> itai-michaelson: from the terminal type: gconf-editor [13:17] <coolbhavi> ascii manipulation error huh?

THANX [13:18] <pajamian> itai-michaelson: yw [13:18] <ikonia> ;/last Thurin1 [13:18] <ikonia> oops [13:19] <ikonia> sorry buffer cache [13:19] <Hyuukai> HEllo [13:19] <EtteSB> jay955: im stumped then. dont use windows atm. you looked in the forums? [13:19] <Hyuukai> I am having a problem with azerues i installed it through add/remove and when i open it, it opens then shutsdown? ive uninstalled it through synaptic and reinstalled it but it does the same? [13:20] <Jay955> <EtteSB> yes i have didn't find anything to help me :( [13:20] <FGsTkkMa> is upgrading from one version of ubuntu to the next troublesome? is it more efficient to format and reinstall, like in windows? [13:20] <LukeLC> I'm getting "packages broken" when I try apt-get some stuff, what can I do? [13:20] <paul__> I use Windows as a Primary OS (yes i know i suck) but I am still learning Ubuntu and don't want to "dive in" yet. When I restart my computer GRUB automatically see's Ubuntu as the default and I have to scroll down to Windows . Is there a command or a way I can set it as default on Windows? [13:20] <pajamian> FGsTkkMa: it's easy [13:20] <hever_> Hi there. How can I configure that the F12 key acts as DEL key ??? [13:21] <coolbhavi> Ok a power cut.. will be back soon [13:21] <symphony_bt> hi!! i have installed broadcom wifi linux driver and the device is recognized..but i can't find any wireless networks.. on windows i can what's the problem????? [13:21] <pajamian> FGsTkkMa: when a new version is available it shows a button in the upgrade manager that you click on and it just leads you right through it. [13:21] <Some_ux> I have a question about going from 7.04 to 7.10. Took me a very long while to config the Ubuntu box so it will do all the 101 things i want it to do. Now I fear that if I upgrade to 7.10 it will mess up everything, is this fear warranted ? [13:21] <ikonia> paul__ in the file /boot/grub/menu.lst set the default 0 option to default 6 (or whatever your windows OS is - count down starting with the first = 0, second =1, third =2, etc) [13:21] <FGsTkkMa> so paj, formatting is not a nessecity ? [13:22] <hever_> How can I configure that the F12 key actAs as DEL key ??? And that @ should not be as second key on L but on Q ? [13:22] <pajamian> FGsTkkMa: not for an upgrade [13:22] <ikonia> Some_ux: for something - yes, eg: xorg is a new version, with compiz along side it, other stuff, eg: apache - no2 [13:22] <ikonia> no [13:22] <Hyuukai> anyone help with my azerus problem? [13:22] <DaDiablo> can someone help me with installing A4 Tech webcam, cause I get errors with compiling spca5xx drivers [13:22] <pajamian> Some_ux: no guarantee, make a backup. [13:22] <ikonia> huff3r: you probably need to use a different version of java, look in /etc/alternatives/java and see what it's linked to [13:22] <paul__> how do i find the path you put in ikoni? [13:22] <Some_ux> ikonia: primary concern, is vmware and OpenVPN [13:22] <ikonia> DaDiablo: are the drivers not part of the kernel already [13:23] <maximilion> Hm used sudo alien -i ->"dpkg-gencontrol: error: current build architecture i386 does not appear in package's list (amd64)" [13:23] <luo> hi [13:23] <[0x90]> ohhhh dpkg!! [13:23] <DaDiablo> ikonia, I dunno, how may I check this? [13:23] <ikonia> paul__: as I said, your first boot option is 0, your second is 1 your third is 2, so if windows is the 4th boot option set default 3 === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master [13:23] <ikonia> DaDiablo: look at what the driver is called, and modprobe it, or look on google to see what drivers support it [13:23] <pajamian> maximilion: you're trying to build a 64 bit package on a 32 bit OS [13:23] <Some_ux> pajamian: I understand. I will take the time to backup everything. though this will cost me time and probably some money. [13:23] <maximilion> Do I have the wrong .rpm? I do have an amd64 (Opteron) and the .rpm is supposed to be for amd64 [13:24] <ikonia> !alien | maximilion [13:24] <ubotu> maximilion: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [13:24] <ikonia> maximilion: I would never use alien [13:24] <paul__> yes ikoni but where do i set it in windows bios or what [13:24] <pajamian> Some_ux: I can't speak for how it works with vmware or openvpn, sorry. I would recommend a backup regardless of how much experience I have with it, though. [13:24] <ikonia> paul__: in /boot/grub/menu.lst as I said [13:24] <maximilion> ikonia: Is there a desktop rpm manager for converting to .deb or installing .rpm? .rpms are all that are built from the vendor. [13:24] <ikonia> Some_ux: I wouldn't have confidence with vmware with it being a 3rd party product [13:25] <luo> ? [13:25] <ikonia> maximilion: I wouldn't use rpm's on a non-redhat system. What are you trying to install ? [13:25] <maximilion> pajamian: But I selected 64-bit on install? How do I check this? [13:25] <paul__> how do i get to it f2 as normal [13:25] <pajamian> maximilion: you may have an amd 64 bit cpu but it appears you still have the i386 version of ubuntu installed. [13:25] <ikonia> maximilion: uname -a - this will chow you if your using 64bit [13:25] <ikonia> show [13:25] <maximilion> oki [13:26] <YazzY> hi guys [13:26] <Some_ux> pajamian: True enough. Murphy's law cannot be undone. [13:26] <maximilion> ikonia: Returns "Linux opteron-linux 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Fri Feb 1 04:59:50 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux" [13:26] <pajamian> maximilion: what program are you trying to install anyways? [13:26] <FGsTkkMa> other questions> how much space does ubuntu take on a "generous"install, and how is the 64bit version shaping up? [13:26] <ikonia> maximilion: your using 32 bit [13:26] <w10> allow [13:26] <YazzY> which package includes strings ? [13:26] <maximilion> !? [13:26] <pajamian> maximilion: i686 = 32 bit [13:26] <ikonia> YazzY: core-utils I think [13:26] <pajamian> not 64 [13:26] <ikonia> maximilion: your using 32bit [13:26] <Some_ux> ikonia: Vmware works like a charm, but it did have to go through hell to make it work [13:26] <ikonia> Some_ux: so I wouldn't put money on stability on 7.04 -> 7.10 update [13:26] <YazzY> ikonia: i have coreutils installed but no string [13:26] <ikonia> !info strings [13:26] <ubotu> Package strings does not exist in gutsy [13:27] <MGalaxy> how can I force thunderbird to open FEEDs in Firefox, not in a new window in thunderbird? [13:27] <pajamian> maximilion: you can either download and install the x64 version of ubuntu from the top down, or get the 32 bit rpm of the program you are installing. [13:27] <ikonia> maximilion: what is the program you are trying to instrall [13:27] <Some_ux> OK, so i suppose the question is: Install from scratch or upgrade ? [13:27] <ikonia> install even [13:27] <IdleOne> pajamian, the deb not the rpm [13:27] <maximilion> I'm still thinking how I could have made such an error... [13:27] <ikonia> Some_ux: personal preference is always instrall from scratch if you can afford the time [13:27] <wil> is there a full screen button? I keep playing games that are full screen then I get a dialog or something from another program and then the full screen app goes to windowed mode, I have tried various things but I cant get it to go back full screen? [13:27] <ikonia> maximilion: easy to download the wrong version [13:28] <pajamian> Some_ux: I would try the upgrade, if it doesn't work out you can still install from scratch [13:28] <pajamian> IdleOne: he's trying to use alien to install from an rpm [13:28] <ikonia> pajamian: but he won't say what package for some reason [13:28] <pajamian> ikonia: yeah, I know [13:28] <Some_ux> I suppose i will have to buy an external HD to backup my files [13:28] <IdleOne> pajamian, ahh I see. not a good idea. better to compile from source [13:28] <YazzY> god damned [13:29] <YazzY> how can i find out what meta package includes binary "strings"? [13:29] <ikonia> !find strings [13:29] <pajamian> IdleOne: I tend to agree with you, still trying to find out what the program is he's trying to install. [13:29] <ubotu> Found: hildon-common-strings-l10n-mr1 [13:29] <hever_> How can I configure that the F12 key acts as DEL key ??? And that @ should not be as second key on L but on Q ? In the best way that also shell is affected... [13:29] <ktwilight[m]> YazzY, apt-file should help [13:29] <IdleOne> pajamian, tell him to search synaptic he might find the package in there [13:29] <ikonia> ktwilight[m]: thats what I was looking for, thank you [13:29] <Some_ux> Thanks. cyl [13:30] <ikonia> IdleOne: he won't say what he's trying to install for some crazy reason [13:30] <alexkreuz> is there a way to resize a window via a key command? [13:30] <pajamian> IdleOne: it may be in a repository he's not using, for all I know he's trying to install libdvdcss or something. [13:30] <YazzY> ktwilight[m]: thanks [13:30] <IdleOne> ikonia, well that is fine. but he can search synaptic on his own and might find it. make sure universe and all is enabled [13:30] <ikonia> alexkreuz: you can do it when you launch a command from the command line, I don't think gnome has a resize key short cut [13:30] <ktwilight[m]> YazzY, no probs. make sure you apt-file update first ;) [13:31] <hever_> Or does someone know how I can use the normal mouse button as right click button? (At the moment I'm using mouseemu) [13:31] <ikonia> maximilion: what is the program you are trying to instrall [13:31] <IdleOne> ikonia, this is maximilion we are talking about correct? [13:31] <ikonia> IdleOne: correct [13:32] <citm> totally screwing my laptop here.. deleting the partitions and recreating them gives me even less options at the install menu [13:32] <Superbb> Does anyone know why all of a sudden when I try my linux machine tonight and try a program, it gives me "Segmentation fault (core dumped) [13:32] <Superbb> " [13:32] <ikonia> Superbb: what program? [13:32] <IdleOne> maximilion, it would make things so much easier if you told us what it is you are trying to install. [13:32] <Superbb> Symfony [13:32] <maximilion> ikonia & friends: So should I get the proper version and reinstall? Is 64-bit more stable, and does 64-bit cause trouble with nvidia 6800 generic driver, other apps? [13:32] <ikonia> Superbb: no idea, possibly an update broke something [13:32] <ikonia> maximilion: what bit of software are you trying to instrall via rpm [13:32] <Superbb> I'll try and give it a reboot or two. [13:32] <Superbb> I'll also backup since I'm afraid of data loss.. [13:33] <ikonia> Superbb: I don't think that will make much of a difference [13:33] <ikonia> Superbb: seg faults are normally fatal until fixed within the software (unless you have bad ram) [13:33] <maximilion> Well, ok. I have an educational license for my XP 64-bit on the same PC. Not happy with stability and speed, so I thought I would (illegally? dunno) install it in Linux [13:33] <ikonia> maximilion: what bit of software are you trying to instrall via rpm [13:33] <maximilion> for Maya 8.5 [13:33] <pajamian> maximilion: you now have at least three people who have asked you several times what you are trying to install, if you tell us we can give you much better help. As for 32 bit vs 64 bit that is a completely different issue, for the desktop I tend to recommend 32 bit even on a 64 bit cpu. [13:33] <Superbb> I think it's because of what I did to PHP.. my bad Ikonia. [13:33] <talash> Hi all. I am trying to make my gutsy print to an hp-officejet printer which is connected to a windows xp computer. [13:33] <ikonia> maximilion: you don't install XP by rpm - so what are you trying to install via rpm [13:34] <talash> The gutsy sees the printer shared, I am able to install the driver and the ppd file [13:34] <talash> I have hplip and hpijs installed etc [13:34] <IdleOne> ikonia, Maya 8.5 [13:34] <ikonia> IdleOne: via rpm ? [13:34] <IdleOne> heh [13:34] <IdleOne> beats me [13:34] <talash> the print job is sent to the printer, the printer even starts making some noise, but the job gets stuck [13:34] <ikonia> IdleOne: I thought he wanted that on XP ? [13:34] <IdleOne> I have never heard of it [13:34] <pajamian> maximilion: Autodesk Maya? [13:34] <LukeLC> hi Everyone, I just went to remove KDE-4 and I accidently removed some other packages like kdesktop. Now when I go to reinstall them I get the error "broken packages" can anyone help? [13:35] <talash> in fact on my windoze machine i see the job stuck on status of something like 64kb/7mb or something and it doesn't make any progress [13:35] <jekov> ok [13:35] <maximilion> Well, I have it on XP 6-bit. On my DVD, only .rpm is available, and I asked support and they said "Fedora/Red Hat is recommended", but I like Ubuntu more :) [13:35] <talash> has anybody set this thing up successfully [13:35] <ikonia> maximilion: the maya rpm is not advised to be instraller on ubuntu [13:35] <ikonia> maximilion: it is maya you wan't to install isn't it ? [13:35] <maximilion> ikonia, yes. [13:36] <pajamian> maximilion: ok, if they have a source package use that, otherwise use alien. [13:36] <IdleOne> better to use source [13:36] <ikonia> pajamian: it won't work - glibc is too new in ubuntu as well as some graphics lib [13:36] <maximilion> pajamian: If I won't get into trouble running 32-bit on amd64, I will keep this Ubuntu, since everything works well [13:37] <cvw> How do I prevent updatedb from running at every boot? [13:37] <pajamian> maximilion: it won't cause any problems to run 32 bit on a 64 bit cpu, it just doesn't work the other way around (you can't run 64 bit on a 32 bit cpu) [13:37] <maximilion> pajamian: Only .rpms are available on the DVD, and I doubt Autodesk will give me source ;) [13:37] <cvw> maximilion: use alien [13:38] <pajamian> maximilion: then you're stuck with using alien. [13:38] <maximilion> It mentioned skipping scripts. Should I use sudo alien -i --script? [13:38] <pajamian> maximilion: as for licensing issues, take that up with autodesk, I will assume that if they are giving you support and a CD with RPMs you have a license to use it, but it's not my place to question it. [13:39] <pajamian> maximilion: google for: ubuntu maya [13:39] <wil> I just plugged in my scanner (hp 4100c) and nothing has happened, how do I detect/use it? [13:39] <pajamian> maximilion: you get lots of helpful links [13:40] <maximilion> yeah, visited most of them including the tutorial on ubuntu forums, which says to use sudo alien -cv, which just makes a folder [13:40] <maximilion> I should say: a folder tree full of makefiles and .bins [13:40] <maximilion> I thought alien made .deb files? [13:40] <cyroul> wil: lsusb to see if detected [13:41] <bill_> Good Morning Smart Masses!!! It looks like it has been a busy night. [13:41] <pajamian> maximilion: this is the link you want: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=66859&highlight=maya ... did you follow all the directions there? === LifeHacker is now known as tuxmaniac [13:41] <wil> cyroul, that just listed 5 usb busses all with 0000:0000 as id [13:42] <maximilion> Yes, will run it again with the 32-bit version, but I suspect it will still make a folder tree and not a .deb file [13:42] <cyroul> wil: not detected [13:43] <pajamian> maximilion: give it a try and see what happens, the person who wrote that actually got it to work, just about everyone in here is just guessing on what needs to be done. [13:43] <wil> cyroul, how do I detect it!? [13:43] <bill_> Does anyone have a COMPIZ related tutorial link? [13:44] <cyroul> what is your scanner ?

I would contact them and ask them to please provide a .deb package. might taKe years but if you like ubuntu you will be sticking with it for years [13:44] <maximilion> pajamian: As I said, I will, just asked if you knew why alien wasn't making a .deb file :) [13:45] <maximilion> IdleOne: In years, I could learn a new 3D app ;) [13:45] <wil> cyroul: it is a hp scanjet 4100c [13:45] <pajamian> maximilion: dunno, it could be because you were using x64 rpms [13:45] <IdleOne> maximilion, follow that link pajamian and follow instructions carefully [13:45] <maximilion> (Maybe.) Will try. [13:45] <IdleOne> maximilion, :) true [13:45] <pajamian> maximilion: give it a try, if you still have problems we're here.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [13:48] <ubuntu-pk> okay need to connect two ubuntu desktops to each other [13:48] <ubuntu-pk> need help on configuring and connecting :) [13:49] <KaiForce> do you have a hub or switch? [13:49] <tvisto> Hi all, sorry how do i go from one folder to another? in dos u type cd.. , here completely forgot, thanks alot! [13:49] <ubuntu-pk> switch [13:49] <IdleOne> tvisto, cd [13:49] <cvw> How do I prevent updatedb from running at every boot? [13:49] <ubuntu-pk> network cables and two computers [13:49] <IdleOne> !cli | tvisto [13:49] <ubotu> tvisto: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [13:49] <KaiForce> ok [13:49] <maximilion> IdleOne, pajamian: What would be the advantages of reinstalling 64-bit Ubuntu? No hassle with apps/drivers because I have 32-bit on amd6? [13:49] <KaiForce> make the physical connections [13:50] <ubuntu-pk> made [13:50] <tvisto> Thnks guys! [13:50] <ubuntu-pk> how to setup network configuration [13:50] <amenado> ubuntu-pk-> now have you assigned ip address to each pc? [13:50] <KaiForce> are you ever going to connect these to the outside world, ie internet? [13:50] <cvw> maximilion: you *might* see a slight performance increase, maybe [13:50] <pajamian> ubuntu-pk: just install them both on the same network and use whatever app you want to communicate between the two (probably ssh) === jano_ is now known as janci [13:50] <ubuntu-pk> how-to assign IPs, go into network admin [13:50] <Xbehave> is there any way to find out memory frequency? [13:50] <maximilion> cvw: My main concern is some app or driver getting confused [13:50] <ubuntu-pk> add 192.168.1 and .2 and subnets 255.255.255.0 [13:50] <bill_> That's wierd, I clicked x box to close firefox and it froze up. What do I do? [13:51] <amenado> ubuntu-pk-> yes in network admin [13:51] <bill_> *weird [13:51] <KaiForce> ubuntu-pk, you should use RFC1918 addresses, ie 192.168.0.1 for one, and 192.168.0.2 for the other. [13:51] <Xbehave> bill_: killall -9 firefox-bin [13:51] <pajamian> maximilion: 64 bit advantages: it makes better use of your cpus capabilities, in other words, better performance... [13:51] <ubuntu-pk> yeah thats what i meant by .1 and .2 [13:51] <KaiForce> ok, you are good there [13:51] <ubuntu-pk> should there be hostnames and gateways defined [13:51] <cvw> maximilion: they won't get confused [13:51] <KaiForce> you don't need a gateway address unless you have another network you are connecting to, and a router [13:51] <maximilion> pajamian: And disadvantages? No amd64 packages for a few apps? [13:52] <ubuntu-pk> alright [13:52] <Xbehave> the 9 is overkill but it makes sure itworks, i got so fed up of flash/firefox freezing i permenetly have a button to do that [13:52] <pajamian> maximilion: disadvantages: 32 bit windows audio and video codecs won't run, flash is a pain, java is a pain ... [13:52] <KaiForce> broadcast address (if you need to specify it) is 192.168.1.255 [13:52] <wil> my scanner is not being detected :( how do I scan for new devices? [13:52] <darkhunterd> anyone having trouble with firefox freezing a lot? [13:52] <bill_> Thx xbehave [13:52] <pajamian> maximilion: my general recommendation is that for desktops use 32 bit, for servers go with 64 [13:52] <ubuntu-pk> okay KaiForce can i ping u privately [13:52] <ubuntu-pk> and discuss [13:52] <bill_> where did you learn that [13:52] <KaiForce> ga [13:52] <maximilion> pajamian: OK you sold me. I will leave my working Ubuntu alone (even tho Flash still doesn't... but that's for later... ;)) [13:53] <pajamian> maximilion: flash is easy, goto the adobe website, download the tarball and install from there. [13:53] <amenado> ubuntu-pk-> learn to share knowledge, the reason this channel exist and not private messages is to share know-how [13:53] <bill_> Florida linux show will be here in my hometown Monday February 11. Is anyone coming? [13:53] * maximilion is installing brb [13:57] <faclon> Hi, someone told that there is a ubuntu version specially for Dell XPS computers, that you only instal it and it recognize all the drivers, is that true? [13:57] <Pici> faclon: If one exists its not an Official version. [13:58] <pajamian> faclon: yes, dell released it a few months ago (it was fiesty) I don't know if they have one for gutsy and I don't remember where it is, but if you wait 10 minutes for me to get back I can look it up. [13:58] <faclon> ok, will wait ;) [13:59] <pepperjack> i think dell did go to gutsy (current) but not sure [13:59] <faclon> yes, they told me that is version 7.10 the one for xps [13:59] <Lacrymology> is there a way to install i386 deb packages in a 64b system? [13:59] <Lacrymology> I'm using Gutsy === joerlend__ is now known as XiXaQ [14:00] <pepperjack> !chroot | Lacrymology [14:00] <ubotu> Lacrymology: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box [14:01] <sansaro> hello [14:01] <sansaro> guys i need help runing compiz in ubuntu on ( eee pc ) [14:01] <Lacrymology> pepperjack: I don't wat to build a 32 bit environment. I have firefox32 installed, so I figure this can be done somehow. If making a chroot is the only choise, I'll just reinstall the system in 32b because I'm having enough trouble with this already [14:02] <sansaro> i have it install and some function work but i cant find advanced desktop effect on system [14:02] <sansaro> i tried CCSm [14:02] <Jack_Sparrow> sansaro: You can get good help with that in the #Compiz room [14:03] <sansaro> then i got the advanced desktop mode [14:03] <sansaro> ok thank you dude [14:03] <Jack_Sparrow> np [14:03] <Rodolfo> Jack_Sparrow: hey dude [14:03] <charles061> ciao gente [14:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Morning Rodolfo [14:03] <Rodolfo> Jack_Sparrow: morning man, whats up?

I'm looking for a headache-free video card...if possible :P [14:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Rodolfo: I use both nvidia and intel, none are bleeding edge and both types work well. I would avoid the 8000 series of the nvidia. #ubuntu-offtopic is a good place to ask that as it leads to lots of opinions and discussions. [14:07] <danielski_pl> my nvidia works perfect now lol after my reinstall and thanx to Envy [14:07] <Jack_Sparrow> danielski_pl: BAd bad bad... Dont use ENVY [14:08] <Rodolfo> Jack_Sparrow: why not? [14:08] <pepperjack> WorldBFree: cat file.iso > /dev/hda3 or whatever empty partition then you can boot from this floppy http://gujin.sourceforge.net/ <-- is one easy way [14:08] <Jack_Sparrow> !envy [14:08] <ubotu> envy is not needed or supported.

[15:04] <janci> deadlyallance114, the only real advantage would be if you had more than 4Gigs of ram [15:04] <brobostigon> 64bit also allows for bigger file and file systems support [15:04] <maximilion> Feeling like a noob...

[15:06] <erUSUL> deadlyallance114: except the 32 bit apps you install [15:06] <pawsmacker> deadly, 64 bit is multilib, so you can run both 32 and 64 bit apps, 32 bit you can't upgrade to 64 [15:06] <maximilion> I want to search for a file, and yes, I would really like to specify that I know the file is on the other partition...

[16:35] <fred90> noodlesgc i'm using emacs and gcc (C language) [16:35] <bazhang> OmnificienT: not the drivers the extras ;] [16:35] <_Oz_> would xubuntu be better for a really low-powered, old computer? [16:35] <_Oz_> vs. ubuntu? [16:35] <Jack_Sparrow> curz0r: SOmething like adding this.. vga=normal [16:35] <ashok> i am intalling ubuntu 7.10 [16:35] <OmnificienT> yes I think so [16:36] <crowley1028> DRebellion: what does that command do? Terminal hung up on > /dev/dsp1 [16:36] <noodlesgc> OmnificienT just open an mp3 in totem. and it download what you need. [16:36] <uuser> _Oz_, yes .. it makes a difference [16:36] <riotkittie> _Oz_: how low powered? [16:36] <Uhblivius> yeah _Oz_ xfce is a lightweight desktop environment [16:36] <neverblue> ashok, no harm in just trying it :) (be sure to backup all necessary data -- which is always important when installing a new OS) [16:36] <curz0r> Jack_Sparrow: Awesome! Thank you! I'll give that a try. [16:36] <Jack_Sparrow> _Oz_: It will be faster but.. how much ram do you have now [16:36] <_Oz_> pIII, riotkittie [16:36] <ashok> so, before buying the mothervoard i have to confirm wheher it works or not [16:36] <bazhang> OmnificienT: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [16:36] <Jack_Sparrow> curz0r: Just a thought [16:36] <uuser> ashok, is the installation giving any problem ? [16:36] <_Oz_> jack: 256mb I think [16:36] <_Oz_> it's an old computer I'm thinking about resurrecting for the wife to use in the kitchen [16:36] <ashok> no, i havent installed yet [16:36] <niuq> i have installed gsynaptics, but there is not option for motion acceleration, is there anyway to speed up the motion of my touchpad? [16:36] <amenado> _Oz_-> ummm damn small linux works with 50meg hd and 64meg of ram [16:37] <_Oz_> she's always looking up recipes in there [16:37] <gil> hi, anybody know hw to install the neo geo for ubuntu? [16:37] <neverblue> ashok, check the forums then [16:37] <fred90> amenado the source code is in Documents. Any problem? [16:37] <ashok> i am about to buy that mother board [16:37] <crowley1028> I'm having audio problems. I can hear static from speakers when turned to max so they're plugged in, and the volume slider makes an audible difference but I can't play any music / listen to any videos [16:37] <bazhang> #fluxbuntu _Oz_ [16:37] <Uhblivius> How should I facilitate automatic connection to my wireless network ? [16:37] <OmnificienT> There are no restricted extra's to be found [16:37] <Jack_Sparrow> _Oz_: The other question is how much ram are you sharing with your video card? [16:37] <bazhang> !sound | crowley1028 [16:37] <ubotu> crowley1028: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [16:37] <amenado> fred90-> then cd to your Documents directory and do the compiling there [16:37] <_Oz_> jack: don't think the video card even has 3d capabilities [16:37] <riotkittie> _Oz_: i was running ubuntu on my laptop, then tried xubuntu and noticed no huge performance gain with the latter. [p3, 650/750mhz, 256mb ram]. YMMV, though. [16:37] <ashok> in the forums some are having problems but for other the motherboard seems to support ubuuntu.why is it so? [16:37] <uuser> ashok, oh ok. do you have stereo speakers ? [16:37] <noodlesgc> OmnificienT you need universe repo [16:37] <zionpsyfer> maximilion: Oops, here's an easy way. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79560 [16:37] <Uhblivius> OmnificienT, have you selected all packages [16:37] <neverblue> ashok, not sure if you know this, but any OS will probably install with 'any' type of motherboard, its the other devices that lead to issues [16:37] <ashok> yes [16:37] <OmnificienT> universe repository [16:37] <curz0r> Jack_Sparrow: would grub be the one initiating the video mode? It always seems to start the standard boot process -some of the messages scroll by and THEN it tries to change the video mode and that's when I lose video. [16:38] <ubuntu-pk> is there a way to see my users on my network what they are doing through ssh? [16:38] <fred90> noodlesgc "Correct directory"? What do you mean? [16:38] <Jack_Sparrow> _Oz_: Is it onboard? then it is sharing your ram, and if set to use too much, it will slow things down [16:38] <ashok> ok..so you mean that there is nothing to worry [16:38] <neverblue> ashok, ask that question in the forums, as it doesnt seem that your clear on what the issue 'that one person' had [16:38] <_Oz_> ah [16:38] <bazhang> OmnificienT: can you find synaptic? you need to enable the first four repos and disable your cd as an isntall source, hit reload and then search for restricted [16:38] <noodlesgc> fred90 nvm. thought you were using the command line. [16:38] <ubuntu-pk> i am logged in through ssh on my users computers [16:38] <amenado> ashok-> some are made in china, some are from india? same instructions you think?

[16:38] <uuser> asus m2n-mx and m2n-vm are very well compatible as long as you stick to stereo sound. afaik surround sound is the only issue [16:38] <neverblue> ashok, a motherboard is not likely to cause an OS to not install [16:38] <Rigel> plz [16:38] <neverblue> Rigel, what language? [16:38] <jocke> Does anyone know if those dell-laptops with ubuntu, if they require proprietary drivers or anything?

[17:30] <HorizonXP> Gnea: my prof mark an assignment, and I see these yellow bubble icons, where he probably made comments [17:30] <DRebellion> WhoaItsPhil: first, tar xvf file.tar [17:31] <mneptok> kristian42: FYI, the Intel wireless chipsets are about the best supported in Linux land [17:31] <kristian42> mneptok: I know, there seems to be to different revisions and each time it works for one it stops working for the other [17:31] <HorizonXP> Gnea: He probably has adobe acrobat or something; i see these icons in evince, but I can't see the text that's inside them [17:31] <mneptok> kristian42: this happens with kernel (and module) updates? [17:31] <HorizonXP> Gnea: I think in Adobe Reader, clicking them opens a post-it note type deal [17:31] <DRebellion> WhoaItsPhil: but, methinks you should focus on solving the apt-get problem. [17:31] <WhoaItsPhil> mmmk...any ideas? [17:31] <kristian42> mneptok: Yes, I think its mostly the module updates [17:32] <DRebellion> WhoaItsPhil: so you can successfully install other packages with apt-get, its only bcm that fails? [17:32] <mneptok> kristian42: when that happens, just boot to the older kernel where it worked, and report a bug. [17:32] <acidity> HorizonXP, As far as I know they dont have that option yet. But I might be wrong. [17:32] <HorizonXP> gnea: it's like a yellow conversation bubble [17:32] <mneptok> kristian42: you don't *have* to use newer kernels ;) [17:32] <WhoaItsPhil> not sure...is there a common file i could test with apt-get? [17:32] <WhoaItsPhil> like something off the top of your head [17:32] <DRebellion> WhoaItsPhil: package called hello [17:32] <bazhang> frozen bubble [17:32] <HorizonXP> acidity: then why is evince showing the actual yellow convo bubble, if i can't open it? [17:33] <chafka> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55239/ [17:33] <kristian42> mneptok: Poing taken about the newer kernels. I should probably go digging in my kernel list. [17:33] <WhoaItsPhil> so sudo apt-get hello ? [17:33] <mneptok> kristian42: do that before you spend cash, dude :) [17:33] <DRebellion> WhoaItsPhil: sudo apt-get install hello [17:33] <WhoaItsPhil> ah ok [17:33] <bazhang> sudo apt-get install [17:33] <acidity> HorizonXP, to be very frank. I had that issue sometime before and I couldnt find it myself. I had a mac Acrobat available so I just used that and never researched on it anymore :( [17:33] <kristian42> mneptok: Id much rather spend a little cash and be rid of the problem [17:33] <WhoaItsPhil> yeah that worked fine [17:34] <HorizonXP> bah! [17:34] <mneptok> kristian42: but i don;t think you would be. the 3945 is really well supported. [17:34] <HorizonXP> aiight, i'll install adobe reader then [17:34] <HorizonXP> booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [17:34] <Gnea> HorizonXP: you can install acroread from medibuntu, iirc [17:34] <WhoaItsPhil> but for some reason it can't find the file bcm43xx-fwcutter [17:34] <HorizonXP> open source FAILS AGAIN [17:34] <HorizonXP> lol [17:34] <Gnea> !medibuntu | HorizonXP [17:34] <ubotu> HorizonXP: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [17:34] * Gnea eyes HorizonXP suspiciously [17:34] <Delvien> HorizonXP you dont have to use it.... [17:34] <acidity> HorizonXP, you should ask the mailing list though http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evince-list/ [17:34] <kristian42> mneptok: I think Ill by a physical access point and use a cable from my laptop. [17:34] <DareDevil_> is unreal ircd secure and stable as hybrid? [17:34] <DRebellion> WhoaItsPhil: :/ [17:34] <bazhang> HorizonXP: good luck getting help here with that attitude [17:34] <mneptok> HorizonXP: no, your professor assuming that everyone is going to pay for commercial tools is ... a tool. [17:35] <noodlesgc> WhoaItsPhil just double click the downloaded file? [17:35] <HorizonXP> Adobe Reader is free [17:35] <lastcallRj> hey... is there any RECONTRUCTOR channel ? thx [17:35] <acidity> maybe they have it. If they have, no need to install Adobe but if its urgent go ahead and install Adobe. You should get your work done :) [17:35] <HorizonXP> i'd prefer to use open source apps [17:35] <mneptok> HorizonXP: no, it's not. [17:35] <jon_high9000> mneptok: sorry to ask, is this only one cd? [17:35] <DRebellion> HorizonXP: it is free as in price, not as in free [17:35] <HorizonXP> uh huh [17:35] <mneptok> jon_high9000: yup [17:35] <HorizonXP> i know the difference, but yeah, that's what i menat [17:35] <Some_ux> Hi [17:35] <HorizonXP> I LIKE evince [17:35] <WhoaItsPhil> mmmk noodles i extracted it...but i have no idea how to go about installing it [17:35] <ahorriblemess> I have a question about updates... in the Synaptic Package Manager... why do some of the packages have little Ubuntu icons? [17:35] <Gnea> HorizonXP: there is a license difference. the only failure is yours in that you don't understand that and that you're jumping to false conclusions. [17:36] <chafka> i am connected to internet but when i use the apt-get install apache2(example..same with every package) i get E: Couldn't find package apache2 PLEASE HELP???? [17:36] <HorizonXP> it's faster and better in many ways [17:36] <Gnea> HorizonXP: too bad, i offered you a solution. take it or leave it. [17:36] <noodlesgc> WhoaItsPhil was the extension .deb? [17:36] <mneptok> chafka: sudo apt-get update [17:36] <HorizonXP> look [17:36] <kpab> what can I do if my LiveCD does not boot normally? [17:36] <Gnea> no, you look. [17:36] <acidity> Gnea, go easy on Horizon. Afer all he is a human :) [17:36] <HorizonXP> i'm just upset that evince can't do it [17:36] <WhoaItsPhil> tar.gz [17:36] <Gnea> acidity: that's not my fault. :) [17:36] <Some_ux> What is considered the best XServer for windows out there ? [17:36] <HorizonXP> i'd rather NOT use adobe reader [17:36] <HorizonXP> but I have to [17:36] <DRebellion> !best | Some_ux [17:36] <ubotu> Some_ux: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. [17:36] <cole> hi all, can anyone help me with building pidgin with Dbus support? [17:36] <jon_high9000> mneptok: already started download thru bittorrent. it really cruising. ty :) [17:36] <HorizonXP> that's all i'm lamenting about [17:36] <chafka> mneptok i did it but still not working:S [17:36] <Gnea> HorizonXP: if it gets the job done, then don't complain. [17:37] <ahorriblemess> I've been trying to get package updates in attempt to get Ubuntu to recognize my graphics card and monitor [17:37] <Gnea> a lot of people put a lot of time and effort into making ubuntu work right, so show some resepct [17:37] <Gnea> *respect [17:37] <noodlesgc> WhoaItsPhil whats the name of the package again? [17:37] <HorizonXP> Gnea: I can and will :) [17:37] <acidity> Anyway, can somebody answer my query. What is the maximum number of command line paramters that I can send to an app? E.g. zip..which takes arbitrary number of parameter ... can I send like 10000 paramters to it? [17:37] <magnetron> HorizonXP: there are some other PDF readers installable in ubuntu as well. check "add/remove applications" [17:37] <jw144000> I'm still having problems installing grub on my external hard drive. Can anyone help me with this? [17:37] <WhoaItsPhil> bcm43xx-fwcutter [17:37] <mneptok> HorizonXP: but that's not the fault of open source software. that's the fault of a professor choosing to distribute work in a non-standard file format that requires non-free tools to open. [17:37] <WhoaItsPhil> the file i downloaded is bcm43xx-fwcutter_006.orig.tar.gz [17:37] <HorizonXP> mneptok: Are PDFs not open? [17:37] <HorizonXP> i'm asking, seriously, i don't kno [17:38] <bazhang> heh [17:38] <mneptok> HorizonXP: PDFs with pop-up yellow post-it note bubbles to indicate edits certainly are not. [17:38] <chafka> mneptok i did it but still not working:S [17:38] <Gnea> HorizonXP: it's your fault that you chose to use a free application to view a non-free/proprietary PDF. [17:38] <noodlesgc> WhoaItsPhil download this: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/b/bcm43xx-fwcutter/bcm43xx-fwcutter_006-3_i386.deb [17:38] <HorizonXP> Gnea: how's it my fault? Evince worked beautifully up until now [17:38] <WhoaItsPhil> k [17:38] <magnetron> HorizonXP: some parts of the PDF format is even patented [17:38] <HorizonXP> magnetron: thank you [17:39] <noodlesgc> HorizonXP just use xpdf [17:39] <Roy> How do I remove a third party application in Gutsy? [17:39] <HorizonXP> that makes sense to me why evince can't do it [17:39] <Gnea> HorizonXP: you and I are done now. [17:39] <acidity> Peace! [17:39] <DRebellion> Roy: how did you install it? [17:39] <HorizonXP> Gnea: ok Gnea. I do thank you for your help :) [17:39] <noodlesgc> Roy was it installed from a deb file or from source [17:39] <acidity> somebody please take a look at my question :) [17:39] <mneptok> HorizonXP: "embrace, extend, extinguish." your yellow Post-It pop-ups represent the "extend" part of the formula. :) [17:39] <Gnea> HorizonXP: you're welcome. [17:39] <kpab> MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC (can't disable in BIOS) [17:39] <ron_> ron [17:40] <bazhang> Roy: what app [17:40] <ron_> ron [17:40] <noodlesgc> acidity what was your question? [17:40] <mneptok> Gnea: do try to be pleasant about these issues? :) [17:40] <HorizonXP> mneptok: ok, then how's this: is there an open source competitor to PDFs? [17:40] <Roy> DRebellion: I installed it from a .deb file [17:40] <noodlesgc> ron_ try /nick ron [17:40] <Gnea> mneptok: that WAS pleasant. ;) [17:40] <Some_ux> hehe, what would you classify as an adequate XServer which performs to what people would consider a satisfying level, objectively quantified as a software which is owned by the largest user base. [17:40] <bazhang> haha [17:40] <acidity> noodlesgc, aaah..looks like it got lost up here. I asked twice... [17:40] <noodlesgc> Roy then just sudo apt-get remove <packages> [17:40] <acidity> copy-paste verbatim.... Hi. Is there any maximum number command line paramters that I can send to an app? I want to basically zip aorund 5000 files into one. The files are all in diff location so I was thinking of zipping them using one single zip command? Is it defined by system? [17:40] <mneptok> Gnea: well, "less pleasant" will cause me to become "less tolerant" :) [17:40] <Gnea> mneptok: trust me, i could've been a lot worse, but then i've put up with much, MUCh worse than that. [17:41] <Roy> noodlesgc: Thanks [17:41] <HorizonXP> k look [17:41] <WhoaItsPhil> hmmm ok i got it unpacked and installed [17:41] <HorizonXP> PDFs are closed source, I get it [17:41] <Roy> noodlesgc: do I have to add the suffix at the end? [17:41] <mneptok> Gnea: and i could well say the same to you. but i'd just be being an ass. and Freenode has had enough of that. [17:41] <jw144000> Can anyone help me install grub on my external hard drive please? [17:41] <WhoaItsPhil> and now when i go to enable the restricted firmware it asks me to locate the firmware [17:41] <noodlesgc> roy suffix? [17:41] <HorizonXP> but evince should either not show the annotations, or say it can't view them, instead of just show a yellow icon and letting me do nothing [17:41] <Roy> like .deb [17:41] <Gnea> mneptok: exactly. i need to go finish a project, ttyl. [17:41] <WhoaItsPhil> i dont have a clue where it extracted the firmware to? [17:41] <mneptok> HorizonXP: not so much "closed source" as "not open and not thoroughly documented" [17:42] <noodlesgc> Roy no [17:42] <bazhang> jw144000: you still did not read that grub link? [17:42] <acidity> jw144000, what is the problem? you should ask specific questions here [17:42] <HorizonXP> if i had the know-how to change that, i would [17:42] <Roy> Oka, so I exclude that [17:42] <jgiorgi> hey im a lil newbish and im trying to install a from a source package, it tells me that i need a few prerequistites and i installed some of em but i cant find others, GNU Make, GNU Binutils, zlib-dev, openssl-dev, zorg-xll-dev, bridge-utils, iproute, what is all that and where do i get it??? [17:42] <DRebellion> WhoaItsPhil: when you untarred/ungzipped the archive, the files would go to the current directory (unless you specified a destination) [17:42] <mneptok> HorizonXP: file a feature request with Evince. that is bad bahavior. [17:42] <mneptok> *behavior [17:42] <noodlesgc> WhoaItsPhil try /usr/src [17:42] <DRebellion> jgiorgi: build-essential for a start [17:42] <Some_ux> Is exceed any good ? [17:42] <HorizonXP> mneptok: do you have a link? I'll do it right now [17:42] <jw144000> acidity: I have an installation of Gutsy Gibbon on my external hard drive, but I need grub. What are the commands to install grub, and how can I point grub to my external hard drive so it will install it there? [17:43] <noodlesgc> roy yes, you dont need to add .deb [17:43] <HorizonXP> I'm all for open-source and improving it! lol [17:43] <jgiorgi> drebellion: so install build-essential??? [17:43] <acidity> man grub????

Yesterday evrything was perfect [17:44] <ahorriblemess> ok, I'm working on figuring out my other issues myself, I'll keep working on that, but I have one more if anyone can help [17:44] <dookdook> noodlesgc, any pointers on how to go about it? web sites/advice? [17:44] <kpab> i have problems with graphical interface, it does not load even in safe graphic mode, and switches to some text input, what can I possibly do? [17:44] <HorizonXP> thanks mneptok, oding it now [17:44] <ricky_clarkson> Where do I look for what sources.list to add to the liveCD setup to get current Ubuntu software? [17:45] <acidity> noodlesgc, any idea? [17:45] <ahorriblemess> When I installed Ubuntu 7.10, when asked about partitioning, I chose to use the entire hard drive because I wanted Ubuntu to be the ONLY OS on here. Did I do the right thing, or should I have done something else? [17:45] <noodlesgc> dookdook, well all i do is plug the monitor in and hit ctrl+alt+backspace [17:45] <bazhang> ricky_clarkson: in synaptic [17:45] <DRebellion> ahorriblemess: nope that's fine. [17:45] <bazhang> ahorriblemess: right choice! ;] [17:45] <ahorriblemess> ok cool, so the drive was partitioned automatically? [17:45] <mneptok> HorizonXP: np np. thanks for filing feature requests rather than just saying "this sucks!" ;) [17:45] <Breakage> Could someone help me with this .Xresources problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4288504#post4288504 [17:45] <oboy03> my video card is nvidia fx 5500, and im experiencing black or garbled graphics is this normal? [17:46] <WhoaItsPhil> ahh i think i might have got it [17:46] <WhoaItsPhil> woohoo it works...thanks guys [17:46] <ahorriblemess> good stuff, thank you. I understand there are questions constantly flowing in here. I appreciate the help. I'll be back I'm sure, I'm battling Nvidia driver and monitor issues [17:46] <bazhang> nice WhoaItsPhil [17:46] <HorizonXP> mneptok: it does suck :P but i'll help make it not suck. i love ubuntu, i just get frustrated when it doesn't do things I don't like. which is rare. and usually quickly fixed, hahah! [17:46] <jgiorgi> ddrebellion: anything else other than build-essential [17:46] <dookdook> noodlesgc, just restarts x. did you set up anything to allow for your external monitor? [17:46] <noodlesgc> acidity i think your best shot would be to either create a script to do it (like python) or open a new zipfile and drag&drop all file you need [17:47] <oboy03> HorizonXP: i feel the same [17:47] <DRebellion> jgiorgi: yep, use apt-cache seach [17:47] <jgiorgi> drebellion: ??? [17:47] <acidity> noodlesgc, well i am actually using Python to get list of ll the files. [17:47] <oboy03> im a windows user (like everyone else) [17:47] <noodlesgc> dookdook no, i didn't have to do anything. But you could check in System->Administration->Screens And Graphics [17:47] <jgiorgi> WINDOWS SUCKS [17:47] <oboy03> and ubuntu feels like 5th grade when i had my first pc [17:47] <Khisanth> acidity: you could probably create the zip with python as well :) [17:48] <acidity> Now either I can zip them in one shot using one ZIP command or copy all the files in a folder and then zip it completely. [17:48] <dookdook> hmm...i don't have a screens and graphics section in administration [17:48] <acidity> noodlesgc, well i am actually using Python to get list of ll the files. [17:48] <noodlesgc> acidity just import zipfile [17:48] <ricky_clarkson> bazhang: Thanks. [17:48] <jgiorgi> obou03: hey well if you need any help just ask, ubuntu, once u get used to it, is a thouand times better than win [17:48] <bazhang> np [17:48] <oboy03> yeah i can see that [17:48] <jgiorgi> drebellion: what is apt-cache seach? [17:48] <oboy03> im learning bit by bit [17:49] <DRebellion> jgiorgi: open up a terminal and type apt-cache search <keywords> [17:49] <acidity> noodlesgc, yeah. I should probably use the ZIP library in PHP or Python and get it done [17:49] <noodlesgc> acidity then just do something like "for item in list_of_files: add file(item)" [17:49] <acidity> thanks....should have though that way...... [17:49] <oboy03> its like 1 + 1 the first time you encounter it [17:49] <jgiorgi> oboy03: and if u wanna talk to someone specific, just type their name then a colon and it will flag it to them [17:49] <jgiorgi> drebellion: ok im confused and dumb what r my key words, the programs i need to install?

[19:08] <kyle__> hmm the writing looks odd underneath them now =] [19:08] <MrKeuner> Jack_Sparrow: W: Failed to fetch http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox-gnome-support_2.0.0.12+2nobinonly+2-0ubuntu0.7.10_i386.deb 404 Not Found [19:08] <r_a_f> kyle__: np [19:08] <badkitty> MrKeuner: Ok so it cant find the source [19:08] <MrKeuner> badkitty: can I do anything? [19:09] <Pupeno> Hello. [19:09] <_mug> dante: man modules and man modules.conf there is all you need [19:09] <MrKeuner> and isn't this a problem for Ubuntu? [19:09] <Pupeno> How can I find which program is blocking my main sound card? [19:09] <_mug> dante: ..TYPE man modules and foo [19:09] <badkitty> MrKeuner: Maybe the source is different? did you try sudo apt-get upgrade... maybe it is in another source you already have [19:09] <_Oz_> thunar appears to be more or less identical to nautilus [19:09] <MrKeuner> badkitty: did an update... no luck [19:10] <badkitty> MrKeuner: Did you try an upgrade? Update just updates your sources [19:10] <MrKeuner> badkitty: I thought upgrade is what I do when I click on install on update-manager? [19:11] <jgiorgi> hey just wondering, is BSD worth checking out and if so which one? [19:11] <badkitty> MrKeuner: When I say sudo apt=get upgrade I mean you type this from the command line [19:11] <bazhang> jgiorgi: pc-bsd but offtopic here [19:11] <MrKeuner> badkitty: I get the same error [19:11] <Jack_Sparrow> MrKeuner: HAve you changed any repos? [19:11] <maximilion> allquixotic: Sorry, back. My brother called :) So, Xubuntu would work as an XP replacement for someone who e-mails, word processes, and surfs the web? [19:11] <MrKeuner> Jack_Sparrow: I am using kernel.org repos [19:12] <jorgenpt> I want to reinstall the stock codecs.conf from the mplayer package, how should I do that? [19:12] <Dante> Does anybody know how I make ubuntu write two lines in root at startup? [19:12] <badkitty> MrKeuner: Ok lets do some googling to see if we can find the source you want [19:12] <allquixotic> maximilion: as long as you use the right apps on top of it, yes - Firefox, Abiword and a lightish mail client like Thunderbird (as opposed to Evolution?) might work [19:12] <maximilion> allquixotic: Hm, I was more concerned about the integrated gfx, really. (It does 3D very slow, but shares RAM etc.) [19:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Dante: Can you explain that a bit more. [19:13] <amenado> Dante write to which file? [19:13] <Jack_Sparrow> MrKeuner: Dont know why you are using tohse reops, the same version is inours [19:13] <allquixotic> maximilion: well, ok, but you can't turn on desktop effects (compiz, or whatever) with that kind of low-end hardware anyway. it's really not recommended. so the GPU isn't in question for those basic tasks [19:13] <_Oz_> maximilion: I just got going with Ubuntu a few days ago... I installed it as a lark on an old computer. I am HIGHLY impressed. It does everything an XP machine can do. I am literally just as productive on this machine as I am on an XP machine. [19:13] <maximilion> allquixotic: So OpenOffice is out of the question? He sometimes uses Excel. [19:13] <Dante> In order to get my wl to work I need to write "modprobe fsaa1655g" and then "iwlist eth1 scan" in root. And I want it to be done automaticly [19:14] <MrKeuner> Jack_Sparrow: I had the intetntion to help ubuntu by using mirrors === recon_ is now known as rec [19:14] <allquixotic> maximilion: nope, openoffice is definitely not out of the question. however, if he intends to open Firefox _AND_ Thunderbird _AND_ OpenOffice all at once, that's a stretch - might start using swap, which means certain processes would slow down a lot. === rec is now known as recon [19:14] <_Oz_> maximilon: I use openoffice spreadsheet and it works just fine. I also run M$ Excel 2003 under Crossover. [19:14] <bazhang> maximilion: gnumeric does okay in a pinch [19:14] <badkitty> MrKeuner: Will you open your sources please [19:14] <maximilion> -Oz_: specs of the machine? [19:14] <MrKeuner> badkitty: wht do you mean? [19:14] <allquixotic> maximilion: running any one application at a time should be just fine, but the more he tries to multitask, the slower it'll be [19:15] <Jack_Sparrow> MrKeuner: Understood, but I would still stick to the std repos, just in case... [19:15] <maximilion> allquixotic: Same with XP right now ;) [19:15] <badkitty> MrKeuner: go into system -admin-software sources [19:15] <maximilion> Main thing he gets a localized OS, he's on English right now which confuses him. [19:15] <MrKeuner> Jack_Sparrow: OK, I'll cwitch to ubuntu repos [19:15] <Dante> amenado: In order to get my wl to work I need to write "modprobe fsaa1655g" and then "iwlist eth1 scan" in root. And I want it to be done automaticly [19:15] <_Oz_> maximilon: 5 year old P4 with 512mb ram [19:15] <kane77> wow.. upgrade takes quite a while! [19:15] <allquixotic> maximilion: as for the footprint of the basic desktop (no apps running), Xubuntu's footprint is substantially lower than Gnome or KDE, so that's why I recommend it. you can get gnome lower, but you have to strip out stuff [19:15] <_Oz_> it's a cheap dell computer, cheap and slow even at the time I bought it [19:16] <amenado> Dante there are pre-up commands you can put in /etc/network/interfaces and to load a module, insert a line in /etc/rc.local [19:16] <maximilion> -Oz_: That's probably 8 times faster!! [19:16] <badkitty> kane77: depending how far back you are on your updates..yeah [19:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Dante: YOu can write a script and put it in startup... but there must be a better way to do what you are trying to accomplish [19:16] <_Oz_> maximilon: what kinda computer are you using? [19:16] <kane77> badkitty, I'm upgrading to gutsy on one older forgotten computer :) it [19:16] <maximilion> Me? Opteron+2GB. My dad has a Compaq P3 with 256M ;) [19:17] <badkitty> kane77: Oh a dist-upgrade .. yeah those can take a while [19:17] <_Oz_> max: I would think either ubuntu or xubuntu would be fine. [19:17] <maximilion> I think I will try Xubuntu then [19:17] <maximilion> Thanks for the advice guys :) [19:17] <Jack_Sparrow> maximilion: add 256 to the compaq and it should be decent [19:17] <hotmonkeyluv> is there a way to install java v6.3 automagically, or is java 1.4 the only one on synaptic? [19:17] <BetaTest> How do I check the version of my Ubuntu? [19:17] <allquixotic> maximilion: good luck with that [19:17] <Jack_Sparrow> !java [19:17] <ubotu> To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) [19:17] <eth01> though, 256 is a little low especially when compared to me, who uses 16gb ddr2 :p [19:18] <Zta> I upgraded Edgy and now I've got trouble starting ivman.

[19:20] <Jack_Sparrow> MrKeuner: yep.. us is fine [19:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Zta: How did you upgrade that box and did you ever use automatix to try and install anything [19:21] <TitoN> i did badkitty [19:21] <Dante> Jack_Sparrow: How should that script look and how do I make it start at startup? What im trying to do is make ubuntu "write" those two lines in root so I dont have to do it in a terminal every time I turn on the computer. [19:21] <MrKeuner> Jack_Sparrow: yes, that was it. It looks like there was a problem in mirrors.kernel.org when synching the ubuntu repository [19:21] <badkitty> TitoN: You must not be registered with nickserv then [19:21] <TequilaWORM> what are the pkgs names required for the kernel?

The other one has just been formatted. On that one I want to install Ubuntu is that possible or will it erase/corrupt the data on the other HDD? === no0tic_ is now known as no0tic [19:23] <Zta> Jack_Sparrow, I just ran "apt-get upgrade". After ivman failed, I tried "apt-get remove ivman ; apt-get install ivman", but the problem remains. I don't know what automatix is. The only google hit I've found is this, which is unreadable to me: http://lists.altlinux.org/pipermail/sisyphus/2006-July/187359.html [19:23] <Rocket2DMn> so, I installed Java with Automatix, and I think it screwed up my system, any ideas?

[19:49] <Brantis> Jack_Sparrow I'm on a desktop right now, [19:49] <brobostigon> unagi: if you want webcam in msn use amsn, it the only one for webcam and msn i think [19:50] <gary4gar> how to use mono? i installed the mono package but how to run apps with it? [19:50] <unagi> ok ill try amsn brb [19:50] <maximilion> unagi: Doesn't GAIM do aim?

[19:52] <Odd-rationale> unagi: I *think* kopete supports webcam... [19:52] <neverblue> alexkreuz_, in ubuntu, all packages are available as .debs, which u use aptitude/apt-get/synaptic to install packages, which has nothing to do with the 'adobe' site [19:52] <unagi> kopete crashes for me [19:52] <Brantis> Jack_Sparrow where is Xorg located [19:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Brantis: Your /etc/X11/xorg.conf contains info on how your video is set up [19:52] <maximilion> It's funny I get two answers when telling, but 0 when I'm asking :) [19:53] <maximilion> Will look on our forum [19:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Brantis: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/Desktop/Jacks-Notes/xorg.conf.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T) to make copy on desktop [19:53] <Xintruder> why can't I apt-get install win32codecs ? [19:53] <VeganZombie> Anyone know if it's possible to run a dedicated Team Fortress 2 server on Ubuntu Gutsy? If so, any links to explain how it's done? Thanks! [19:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Brantis: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/Desktop/xorg.conf.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T) to make copy on desktop [19:54] <badkitty> Xintruder: You have to enable the medibuntu repos [19:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Brantis: Sorry, that other was for me [19:54] <Xintruder> would upgrading ram improve my compiz slow performance? [19:55] <alexkreuz_> Xintruder, id imagine upgrading your video card would [19:55] <crusie> hiya [19:55] <Xintruder> alexkreuz, your right. But that didn't answer my question :P [19:56] <crusie> I got a question for ya - would it work if I installed ubuntu and ran windows in a wmware/virtual pc enviroment for games? [19:56] <Cpudan80> crusie: it? [19:56] <crusie> without loosing too much performance [19:56] <Cpudan80> No [19:56] <Cpudan80> Gaming in VM = bad idea [19:56] <crusie> ok [19:56] <alexkreuz_> neverblue, i understand what, what i was asking if the synaptic package of flash is up to date to the version available directly from the adobe site [19:56] <VeganZombie> Anyone know if it's possible to run a dedicated Team Fortress 2 server on Ubuntu Gutsy? If so, any links to explain how it's done? Thanks! [19:56] <Cpudan80> Wine will run a lot of games now though crusie [19:56] <crusie> well I'm not so happy with cedega tbh [19:56] <filthpig> how do I run scipy/numpy? Installed from repos, but they don't appear in the menu and I can't find any obvious command to run from term either [19:56] <Cpudan80> Could try that [19:57] <riaal> Need to setup a "secure" samba server for use with my OSX machines, anyone have some good Samba tutorials/guides? [19:57] <crusie> Cpudan80 - true - but the times I've tried it - it seemed like endless configuring [19:57] <badkitty> Xintruder: It would help somewhat but the majority of the video display processing takes place at the GPU on your gfx card [19:57] <phaedral> can't chgrp on my usb stick at /media/BAMF; do I need to become a mount guru or is there a gui setting I can fiddle with? [19:57] <jlong> uhh [19:57] <crusie> besides I'd have to use both ventrilo and some game - like wow or CS:s [19:57] <Brantis> Jack_Sparrow http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55257/ [19:57] <jlong> It's peanut butter jelly time! [19:57] <Jack_Sparrow> k [19:57] <unagi> lol amsn doesnt work for me either, this rocks! [19:57] <Pici> filthpig: They are python modules. [19:58] <bts3685> anyone else having problems with us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper repos? [19:58] <filthpig> cruise my exerience with wine is maybe a bit more tinkering but a lot more games will run than with cedega [19:58] <daimon1975> ciao a tutti e buona serata.... [19:58] <neverblue> alexanderwz, you can just as easily look at the Adobe site and the synaptic packages for the answer to that question [19:58] <SuP3rDup3r> anyone know how to send the lasfm player output to amarok? [19:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Brantis: You are still running vesa generic drivers not nv [19:58] <Jack_Sparrow> !it [19:58] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [19:59] <filthpig> pici, then how to I run them? [19:59] <crusie> filthpig - well I'm pretty new to the whole *nix systems - so I'd need a crapload of help :( [19:59] <raju> www.raju.redio.de [19:59] <VeganZombie> Anyone know if it's possible to run a dedicated Team Fortress 2 server on Ubuntu Gutsy? If so, any links to explain how it's done? Thanks! [19:59] <daimon1975> scusate... ;-) [19:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Brantis: IT that a 6200 nvidia [19:59] <Jack_Sparrow> is [19:59] <Pici> filthpig: Run python. import numpy [19:59] <raju> http://www.raju.redio.de [19:59] <Brantis> Jack_Sparrow I have tried to change them over, but it does not change over [19:59] <djr> Why is there no resolv.conf on ubuntu 7.10? [19:59] <Brantis> Jack_Sparrow yes 6200 [19:59] <DRebellion> VeganZombie, i think valve offers a linux steam server - check their website [19:59] <djr> or, what is it replaced by? [19:59] <ricky_clarkson> I installed ubuntu to a USB stick, but my laptop appears not to boot from those. [19:59] <filthpig> cruise, we've all been there. Besides, wine is just like windows ;) [19:59] <VeganZombie> DRebellion, okey, I'll check. Thanks. [20:00] <Pici> filthpig: What are you expecting from scipy/numpy? [20:00] <ricky_clarkson> From the live CD how I can I boot from the USB stick? [20:00] <maximilion> ricky_clarkson: Is it new? Check BIOS settings [20:00] <crusie> lol I know that wine is... it's the confing of the software/hardware like alsa and stuff in *nix Im having a hard time with [20:00] <ricky_clarkson> 8 months old, and I've checked BIOS settings. [20:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Brantis: It looks like you are stuck at 640 x480 atm [20:00] <JonaTh> Hi. How can I force Ubuntu to drop a IP adress and get a new one? [20:00] <DRebellion> ricky_clarkson, you might want to use a grub boot floppy to boot your usb stick [20:00] <DRebellion> !grub | ricky_clarkson [20:00] <ubotu> ricky_clarkson: 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 [20:00] <ricky_clarkson> DRebellion: No floppy drive. [20:00] <Brantis> Jack_Sparrow nope im at 800x600 [20:00] <CreativeEmbassy> does anyone have experience connecting gutsy to a windows share? [20:01] <CreativeEmbassy> I followed one tutorial on it, and it's still now working [20:01] <maximilion> ricky_clarkson: If "USB Devices" is enabled in BIOS, look for what key to press in startup to get the boot menu (usually F2, F8, F11..) [20:01] <adminz> CreativeEmbassy: How do you mean, what is your setup? [20:01] <CreativeEmbassy> *not working [20:01] <ricky_clarkson> maximilion: I've been there. [20:01] <Jack_Sparrow> Brantis: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg select nv for your card and 1024 as one of your res [20:01] <Artarian> E: Package libsnmp10-dev has no installation candidate [20:01] <CreativeEmbassy> i'm at work, almost all windows xp boxes and windows server 2003 [20:01] <djr> resolv.conf is replaced by something in ubuntu 7.10? [20:01] <Artarian> how can i solve that [20:01] <maximilion> ricky_clarkson: Can you get a boot menu? [20:01] <DRebellion> CreativeEmbassy, samba? [20:01] <ricky_clarkson> maximilion: Yes. [20:01] <crusie> also have a creative xifi soundcard - pretty sure creative haven't made a driver [20:01] <CreativeEmbassy> i'm trying to access a windows server 2003 box [20:02] <ricky_clarkson> FDD (which isn't present), CD/DVD, HDD and LAN. [20:02] <CreativeEmbassy> i installed samba, and read a tutorial on configuring it [20:02] <Brantis> Jack_Sparrow not to shoot your idea down, but I have done this countless times from recovery mode [20:02] <ricky_clarkson> I tried moving FDD to the top to see if it just misnames USB stuff, and that didn't help. [20:02] <maximilion> ricky_clarkson: Well if it's new, it should boot USB devices. Try getting specs on the motherboard, I guess. [20:02] <DRebellion> CreativeEmbassy, try places -> connect to server [20:02] <CreativeEmbassy> lemme try the last command I tried to connect to it, and I'll show you the errors I get [20:02] <crusie> filthpig - how would you say a correctly setup in wine runs compared to a freshly installed xp ? [20:02] <CreativeEmbassy> oh, lemme try that [20:02] <Brantis> Jack_Sparrow But I will try it again [20:02] <Jack_Sparrow> one sec [20:03] <ricky_clarkson> maximilion: Assuming that it doesn't, can I boot that from the live CD initial prompt? [20:03] <cyberfin> evening, does anyone know if there is a channel for syncML troubleshooting? thnx [20:03] <DRebellion> CreativeEmbassy, if that works, i recommend adding an entry to /etc/fstab so it mounts automatically. [20:03] <Artarian> E: Package libsnmp10-dev has no installation candidate? [20:03] <maximilion> ricky_clarkson: So you see the Ubuntu menu? [20:03] <ricky_clarkson> maximilion: Yes, from the live CD. [20:03] <adminz> CreativeEmbassy: I believe Samba is for setting up a file server on a linux box, I don't think it would hlep you connect [20:03] <crusie> should be built in CreativeEmbassy [20:03] <adminz> CreativeEmbassy: maybe something simple, but have you checked your Workgroup settings? [20:04] <crusie> i've never had any problems with it [20:04] <age6racer> Hi all, I have a machine that I'm using as a server it had Ubuntu Edgy installed and running fine... except that it seems to be using between 85-95% of it's ram all the time. It has 512mb installed. Surely I dont need more? It's practically a vanilla install of Edgy with some samba shares, a printer shared via CUPS and a scanner shared with sane. Why is so much ram being used? [20:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Brantis: Do you have a copy of your xorg.. if not make a backup then try this xorg .. but we need to look at your monitor type... before you reboot.. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55260/ [20:04] <maximilion> ricky_clarkson: If your USB drive won't boot, I guess you need the CD to even start Ubuntu... to start *your* Ubuntu installation from the Ubuntu menu, no idea. Others may know more. [20:04] <sylwia> server irc.rizon.net [20:04] <Artarian> E: Package libsnmp10-dev has no installation candidate? sup with that on my Ubuntu [20:04] <ricky_clarkson> Yeah, I guessed that much. [20:05] <roxja-it> Could he not boot to a lower init? [20:05] <CreativeEmbassy> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55261/ [20:05] <IcemanV9> i just installed wordpress from repo on gutsy. i fired up firefox and type 192.168.1.100/wordpress ... nothing. what did i miss to get wordpress up and running??? [20:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Artarian: What are you trying to install that has that for a dependency [20:05] <ricky_clarkson> So, anyone know how I can, from the live CD, boot to Ubuntu installed on /dev/sdb1? [20:05] <Artarian> Jack_Sparrow, i am taking a build-dep for php5 thats all [20:05] <DRebellion> CreativeEmbassy, you did specify a correct username and password? [20:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Artarian: thats enough [20:05] <maximilion> ricky_clarkson: roxja-it: Yeah, maybe? Or USB not made bootable on install maybe? [20:06] <Artarian> Jack_Sparrow, i see but when i take build-dep this msg goes up [20:06] <Artarian> huh [20:06] <Fyda> Artarian: but there is a libsnmp-dev, perhaps? [20:06] <_mug> how good are virtualization-utlilities like zen right now? would i be able to run a debian non-gui-server and a windows XP in it? (no opengl or directx) i want to play around with network services [20:06] <Jack_Sparrow> !php5 [20:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about php5 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:06] <Artarian> Fyda, guys Jack_Sparrow [20:06] <Artarian> let me paste you [20:06] <Jack_Sparrow> !ifno php5 [20:06] <Artarian> lol [20:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ifno php5 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:06] <Artarian> much better [20:06] <roxja-it> I messed around with grub on ubuntu yet, but shouldn't it be possible to change it to boot init 3?

[20:08] <ricky_clarkson> ok [20:08] <Rebrain> THANKS ALOT that explains everything [20:08] <Jack_Sparrow> np [20:08] <DRebellion> crusie, i don't see why you couldn't have two wine processes at the same time. [20:08] <maximilion> roxja-it: Maybe go to shell and start it from there? [20:08] <riaal> what char string shall my OSX terminal send to use pagedown in for example nano? [20:08] <Fyda> Artarian: It says there explicitly that you need to select one of the candidates for libsnmp10-dev [20:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Rebrain: Are you running gutsy? [20:08] <roxja-it> ricky_clarkson: where are you at now? [20:08] <crusie> I'm meaning - in the same wine [20:08] <Fyda> Artarian: meaning, you specify that instead of libsnmp10-edv [20:08] <ricky_clarkson> roxja-it: X in the liveCD. [20:08] <crusie> or does it have to start up for each app ? [20:08] <CreativeEmbassy> YAY [20:09] <Artarian> Fyda, kay how can i do that if i am not choosning nothing [20:09] <CreativeEmbassy> it worked [20:09] <roxja-it> ricky_clarkson: your ubuntu is installed on sda2? [20:09] <Artarian> Fyda, i am just giving a build-dep [20:09] <ricky_clarkson> roxja-it: sdb1 [20:09] <CreativeEmbassy> now I have smb: \> [20:09] <Fyda> Artarian: You could install it manually instead of using build-dep... [20:09] <CreativeEmbassy> looks like a dos prompt? [20:09] <Artarian> Fyda, how do i do that properly then [20:09] <Fyda> Artarian: Install that one package, then do build-dep? [20:09] <roxja-it> ricky_clarkson: mount in a tmp folder [20:09] <roxja-it> ricky_clarkson: then chroot to it [20:09] <DRebellion> CreativeEmbassy, what do you mean? [20:10] <ricky_clarkson> roxja-it: Done. [20:10] <webracer999> Hello [20:10] <DoYouKnow> Hi. I have a radeon xpress 200m running xgl+compiz-fusion. Whenever I minimize a window and maximize it quickly, sometimes (it seems if it's not in some kind of cache), the address bar for example will appear blank [20:10] <roxja-it> ricky_clarkson: ok, I only joined halfway through this :) whatca trying to do? [20:10] <DoYouKnow> how do I speed up the performance of my card or change settings to fix this? [20:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Artarian: I am not understanding something, so I will let someone else help you but I just do.. sudo apt-get install php5 [20:10] <Artarian> Fyda, it gives me the same error [20:11] <DoYouKnow> I am not using direct rendering since direct rendering isn't supported on xgl with fglrx [20:11] <Artarian> Jack_Sparrow, ok thanks for trying [20:11] <slonbg> hi. i have dapper LTS. Does somebody succeeded to install the new skype 2.0 beta (with video) on it? which package should I use - will the one for 7.04+ will work? or debina etch? or should I use the static linked version? [20:11] <ricky_clarkson> roxja-it: From the initial liveCD menu, boot the Ubuntu distro on sdb1. [20:11] <Fyda> Artarian: sudo apt-get install libsnmp-dev [20:11] <MasterAslan> Hi, ubuntu-system-monitor seems to be broken and when I try to fix it it fails: paste bin - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55264/ [20:11] <Fyda> Artarian: That gives you the same error? [20:11] <ricky_clarkson> linux root=/dev/sdb1 seems to be coming into my memory. [20:11] <Jack_Sparrow> slonbg: In gutsy I used the 7.04 worked fine [20:11] <ricky_clarkson> Is that on the wrong lines? [20:11] <Artarian> Fyda, yes [20:11] <crusie> would ubuntu or deb be the best "first linux" os ? or would it be like red hat ? [20:11] <roxja-it> ricky_clarkson: is ubuntu not booting at the moment? [20:12] <MasterAslan> [20:12] <webracer999> I have a ubuntu-server. Sometimes my ubuntu doesn't get the right MAC for my eth0. "ifconfig eth0" shows fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. Then my network don't work with the xen-kernel (from ubuntu-xen-server). Any ideas? [20:12] <ricky_clarkson> roxja-it: No, the laptop won't boot from USB. [20:12] <CreativeEmbassy> heey, got it working [20:12] <DRebellion> crusie, everybody here will tell you ubuntu [20:12] <CreativeEmbassy> thanks everyone! [20:12] <CreativeEmbassy> :-D [20:12] <ricky_clarkson> roxja-it: I'm in the liveCD now, which works fine. [20:12] <Fyda> Artarian: Seems unlikely -- libsnmp-dev is not the same as libsnmp10-dev [20:12] <DRebellion> CreativeEmbassy, excellent! [20:12] <slonbg> Jack_Sparrow: ok, I'll try [20:12] <Jack_Sparrow> np [20:12] <oxeimon> can someone give me some possible reasons why I suddenly can't see the windows partition on my laptop? (it's a dual boot, ubuntu/vista) [20:12] <alexkreuz_> crusie, i've had similar issues with both ubuntu and fedora [20:12] <webracer999> The NIC is a onboard chip. [20:12] <Fyda> Artarian: My point was to remove the "10" [20:12] <Artarian> Fyda, true [20:12] <MasterAslan> crusie: I quite like ubuntu but theres alot of choices...go take the linux distribution quiz [20:12] <roxja-it> ricky_clarkson: sorry I'm tryin to get my head around this, you want to make your usb bootable? [20:12] <CreativeEmbassy> fixed dns settings, changed password, and used the tip about going to Places [20:12] <ricky_clarkson> roxja-it: I don't think the laptop supports booting from USB. [20:12] <crusie> what if I want as close to windows as possible ? [20:13] <CreativeEmbassy> now how do I mount these permanently? [20:13] <ricky_clarkson> roxja-it: I would like to use the CD as a stepping stone towards doing that. [20:13] <crusie> without too much fiddling in console [20:13] <agntdrake> is there a default port for http and ftp proxies? [20:13] <alexkreuz_> crusie, you might probably want to go with a KDE build like kubuntu [20:13] <Jack_Sparrow> crusie: Try kubuntu and theme it to liik like xp or vista [20:13] <CreativeEmbassy> someone mentioned using fstab? [20:13] <DRebellion> CreativeEmbassy, yes you need to add a line to /etc/fstab [20:13] <roxja-it> ricky_clarkson: well, making your usb bootable is easy enough if your laptop supports that. How have you tried to make it bootable? [20:13] <Brantis> Jack_Sparrow Upon adding the info to Xorg and correcting the horizontal and vertical sync values, it says I do not have "permission necessary to modify this file" [20:14] <ricky_clarkson> roxja-it: I would like to skip that option for now. [20:14] <phaedral> can't chgrp on my usb stick at /media/BAMF; do I need to become a mount guru or is there a gui setting I can fiddle with? [20:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Brantis: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:14] <ricky_clarkson> ..because I don't think the laptop supports it. [20:14] <oxeimon> can someone give me some reasons why I suddenly can't see anything in the windows partition on my laptop? It's a dual boot(ubuntu/vista), vista is on /media/sda1/, but now when I go there it appears empty.... [20:14] <roxja-it> ricky_clarkson: ok [20:14] <crusie> Jack_Sparrow well it's not like that I mean - its more like not having to go to console to fix things - a *nix system a normal windows user will find intuitive [20:14] <ricky_clarkson> At least, the BIOS menus don't reflect any such support. [20:14] <Brantis> Jack_Sparrow thanks I knew i was forgetting something [20:14] <badkitty> oxeimon: Maybe it isn't mounted??? [20:14] <Jack_Sparrow> np [20:14] <DRebellion> !samba | CreativeEmbassy [20:14] <ubotu> CreativeEmbassy: 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. [20:14] <oxeimon> badkitty: what do you mean? How do you mount it? [20:15] <oxeimon> badkitty: I used to be able to see it straight away, every time I logged into ubuntu [20:15] <Jack_Sparrow> crusie: COnsole is the quick easy way to fix things, it dosent require much of a learning curve [20:15] <roxja-it> ricky_clarkson: so if your booting from cd, your happy out so? [20:15] <DRebellion> oxeimon, try, sudo mount /media/sda1 [20:15] <ricky_clarkson> roxja-it: No, as I can't make permanent customisations. [20:15] <badkitty> oxeimon: You have to figure out what device it is.. then procees with sudo mount - t ntfs /media/sda1 [20:15] <StaticSignal> Hey, I installed Azureus with the Synaptic Packet Manager. However, it crashes with no error messages, right after it finishes loading. Someone want to help me troubleshoot? [20:15] <ricky_clarkson> roxja-it: And clearly it's slower from CD than from hard drive/flash. [20:15] <genii> crusie: Also console commands are god not only for just regular ubuntu but all the *buntus (kubuntu xubuntu, etc) [20:15] <badkitty> oxeimon: But you put the device name in there [20:16] <DRebellion> StaticSignal, try typing the command 'azureus' into a console to get some output maybe [20:16] <crusie> is ntfs fully supported? [20:16] <Jack_Sparrow> yes [20:16] <crusie> meaning both read and write [20:16] <Jack_Sparrow> yes [20:16] <genii> heh, typo. god -> good however it seeems oddly apt [20:16] <VeganZombie> figures, any guides relating to installing a dedicated Team Fortress 2 server for linux results in broken links, outdated sources etc... why must things be so complicated on linux still? :( [20:16] <alexkreuz_> Jack_Sparrow, whats the difference between gksudo and sudo? [20:17] <crusie> well that's an improvement since last time I've installed ubuntu [20:17] <MasterAslan> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55264/ can someone look at this paste bin and tell me whats going wrong? [20:17] <DRebellion> alexkreuz_, gksudo is for graphical applications [20:17] <Jack_Sparrow> !gksudo [20:17] <ubotu> 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) [20:17] <hunteke> any particular memory that I should stay away from as I purchase RAM for my new laptop? I'm looking at A-Data, 4G ... [20:17] <StaticSignal> DRebellion: will do. [20:17] <oxeimon> badkitty: ok thanks I think I know why. I didn't do a clean shutdown of windows the last time I used it. [20:17] <bts3685> VeganZombie: because tf2 sucks. :( go with Fortress-Forever instead :D [20:17] <alexkreuz_> !gksudo [20:17] <roxja-it> ricky_clarkson: well you won't be able to make any permanent customisations to cd, you might be able to store customisations to usb though [20:17] <badkitty> oxeimon: Oh yeah that will do it for certain [20:18] <ricky_clarkson> roxja-it: Sure. I would like to select the root partition that Ubuntu boots with. [20:18] <iwass> 666 [20:18] <ricky_clarkson> roxja-it: Is this possible? [20:18] <badkitty> oxeimon: It can also disallow you to mount other ntfs formatted drives too [20:18] <VeganZombie> bts3685, nah, I'm just going to stick with the windows version of the dedicated server, just thought I would actually put this linux box to use, but seems that's not going to happen.. [20:18] <maximilion> What is the equivalent of "Create Shortcut" in Ubuntu, so I can add a parameter to the "app call"? [20:18] <WorkingOnWise> what are some good wysiwyg web site design apps or Linux? [20:18] <roxja-it> ricky_clarkson: I know it is with knoppix [20:18] <genii> alexkreuz_: Basically gksudo is for graphical apps you need to run with root, sudo is for console apps you need to run as root. sudo on a graphical app may mess up permissions in your home dir and render some programs unusable [20:18] <maximilion> I.e., make a "short name to type in the Run Application Dialog" [20:18] <ricky_clarkson> roxja-it: How do you do it with Knoppix? Perhaps I can use the same mechanism. [20:19] <alexkreuz_> cool got it thx [20:19] <Jack_Sparrow> np [20:19] <CreativeEmbassy> if I can add to WorkingOnWise's question, are there any recommended web design tools to add as extensions to eclipse? [20:19] <CreativeEmbassy> cause I love that editor so much [20:19] <maximilion> WorkingOnWise: google for "best CMS" :) [20:19] <StaticSignal> DRebellion: JRE encountered an unexpected error, and write an error log. it says 'core dumped' [20:19] <Pici> !html | WorkingOnWise [20:19] <ubotu> WorkingOnWise: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. Editors in Ubuntu: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem, and KompoZer(Nvu). For howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/ [20:19] <djr> I got around 60 mb/s in buffered disk reads on my solid state disk with standard debian installation. I get 27 mb/s on ubuntu standard desktop installation. Any idea how I can improve this? [20:19] <genii> !intelhda > genii [20:19] <eric> Jack_Sparrow no go still, its still showing that the enabled but not in use, and I still cannot select any other display modes [20:20] <eric> Jack_Sparrow and I did restart X [20:20] <roxja-it> ricky_clarkson: I don't use it actually, its on my too do list. There is documentation out there, let have a quick look [20:20] <WorkingOnWise> um...Pici, I know what those apps are...but are any of them actually *good* [20:20] <ricky_clarkson> I will reboot to try something, back in 3 or so minutes. [20:20] <WorkingOnWise> maximilion: why CMS? [20:20] <Jack_Sparrow> eric: Did you try to install those manually? [20:21] <WorkingOnWise> maximilion: that would be server side wouldn't it? [20:21] <eric> No, it had an option to use restricted drivers and blah blah blah whenever i installed the card [20:21] <maximilion> WorkingOnWise: I'm a webdev and don't think it's worth it to recreate all the framework that is ready-made in nice CMSes like MODx etc... but you might want to build it from scratch, which is of course fine :) [20:22] <eric> so I just decided to leave it at that and let it do its thing since I don't like changing files too much at my current state of experience with Ubuntu [20:22] <roxja-it> ricky_clarkson: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2006/08/20/knoppix-linux-live-cd-and-usb-flash-drive-persistent-image-how-to/ [20:22] <StaticSignal> DRebellion: I looked at the error log it dumped, and I can't make anything of it. Looks like a list of Hex values and .lib files. [20:22] <WorkingOnWise> maximilion: so u favor a "template" based system of some sort? And CMS fits that... [20:22] <maximilion> WorkingOnWise: Depends entirely on what you want, a simple DreamWeaver type page, community site, blog, webshop... [20:23] <badkitty> maximilion: What do you like Joomla? [20:23] <maximilion> Well, Joomla 1.5 stable is just out [20:23] <maximilion> Haven't really tried it yet [20:23] <maximilion> Hm, you can priv me :) [20:23] <badkitty> maximilion: I love joomla, I like the old version of joomla so far, but haven't tried the stable release of 1.5 yet [20:23] <maximilion> This is an Ubuntu channel :) [20:24] <eric> Jack_Sparrow do you think just reinstalling Ubuntu will fix this problem [20:24] <badkitty> maximilion: Joombuntu... [20:24] <assid> err can someone push me to ubuntu plus 1 [20:24] <eric> Jack_Sparrow cause I'm honestly just confused [20:24] <CreativeEmbassy> but for an actual application [20:24] <Jack_Sparrow> eirc [20:24] <assid> all my alternate keys arent working [20:24] <Jack_Sparrow> eric: Sorry.. it should autodetect it and be fine [20:24] <Pici> assid: /j #ubuntu+1 [20:24] <assid> i cant shift or alt or ctrl [20:24] <CreativeEmbassy> like something that code hints for html and css, and maybe a visual component [20:24] <assid> pici thanks.. i cant shift alt ctrl [20:24] <assid> something went haywire [20:25] <Pici> assid: copy and paste it. [20:25] <assid> so i cant press plus [20:25] <Jack_Sparrow> eric: I would burn the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives to a cd and save yourself some dl time [20:25] <assid> nah double clicked it [20:25] <assid> thanks mate [20:25] <WorkingOnWise> maximilion: is what I want is for Expression Web to work in Ubuntu...not gonna hapen this week! :D What CMS's do u like? The site is in planning, and for personal/business purposes, so not really sore how much of a monstor it will become. Thats the reason for liking EW. I love the site management features in it. [20:25] <WorkingOnWise> sore=sure [20:25] <maximilion> CreativeEmbassy: Installed Ubuntu yesterday, love Notepad2 (and DreamWeaver for hinting as you say) - haven't really tried out gEdit etc yet [20:25] <eric> Jack_Sparrow its no biggie, I haven't been downloading anything major [20:26] <maximilion> WorkingOnWise: priv.

I'll be back next time something pops up if I can't figure it out myself, or to help if I can at all... but I need to learn more first [21:47] <badkitty> Agent_bob: hmm ok [21:47] <Administrator> ifconfig shows valid IP but I cant even ping the modem [21:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Administrator: ndiswrapper or fwcutter or our link on wifi [21:47] <ahorriblemess> OH... anyone know a good book or should I just read through the Ubuntu documentation [21:47] <Matthai> yes, on a remote machine is ubuntu, gutsy [21:47] <Administrator> not wireless tho [21:47] <edju> About to wipe Windo$e.

[21:48] <ahorriblemess> I just want to understand Linux, Debian and Ubuntu more [21:48] <Tilllinu1> hm. I'm having problems with the vncserver. I think I editet the xstartup file correctly, as well as I enter the server's ip address correctly. the vncviewer then says : connection refused. (altough i specified the password file) [21:48] <Jowi> kefeng, can you be a bit more precise? [21:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Administrator: I have onboard gigabit lan here. let me see what chipset it has [21:48] <ahorriblemess> not a reference book though. I want information... exercises, almost like a text book [21:48] <daedra> Jack_Sparrow: ok, so I want to start X, but "Operation no permitted" and don't want to run it as root [21:48] <daedra> what do I do?

I'm using xubuntu if it helps [21:49] <Tilllinu1> yes [21:49] <Jack_Sparrow> daedra: why not reboot [21:49] <badkitty> ahorriblemess: I was going to recommend some books that you may see in a bookstore that you can get in a chm or pdf.. no good? [21:49] <Starnestommy> daedra: you have to run it as root, I think [21:49] <Administrator> mine is a Marvell PHY 88E1111 Gigabit Ethernet LAN [21:49] <ahorriblemess> badkitty, sure what are they? [21:49] <volvirflaneu1> Hello. [21:49] <singlesun> ahorriblemess, well when it comes to books there is almost a dividing line between "using all gui based stuff with ubuntu" and then "bash stuff books" if that makes sense.. really no middle ground that I have found [21:49] <Administrator> Jack_Sparrow: Marvell PHY 88E1111 Gigabit Ethernet LAN [21:50] <daedra> damn. [21:50] <Ogedei> when i boot gutsy (without automatically starting X), a bunch of services are started *after* the login prompt is shown. is there a way to fix that? [21:50] <kefeng> hi jowi, I just configured my font system following some instructions online [21:50] <daedra> I was thinking I could add it to a group or something [21:50] <singlesun> ahorriblemess, one of the books that isnt too bad is "running linux" [21:50] <volvirflaneu1> I would like support on transferring music with rhythmbox to a mac-formatted ipod.

[21:51] <volvirflaneu1> Anyone help me transferring music to a mac-formatted ipod? [21:51] <Starnestommy> daedra: gdm/kdm/xdm do, but I think X can work from a regular user [21:51] <Administrator> Jack_Sparrow: not to external sites or the DSL Modem [21:51] <Agent_bob> ronin_ it's kinda "up to you" what you use. that is what linux is all about. freedom [21:51] <Jowi> kefeng, first thing to look at would be (in a terminal) "man fonts.conf" it contain some info. as always, it depends on what you are looking for [21:52] <neopsyche> what do i do when i need a dependency that has no installation candidate? [21:52] <Agent_bob> ronin_ some even like kirc in xfce, it's all about personal preferance [21:52] <Jowi> kefeng, it also gives you detailed explanations of the options you have set in there [21:53] <Administrator> Jack_Sparrow: still recommend ndiswrapper nd fwcutter? [21:53] <virre_erriv> To reformulate my question how do I get bash to use the same locale as GDM?

[22:20] <chaosrl> how do i actually turn my swap on? [22:20] <Starnestommy> maximilion: xchat can do that with /newserver [22:20] <skyler345> Oh lord, my god, is there no help for me?

[22:22] <dragon> when i try to start up WOW i get the error "world of warcraft was unable to start up 3D acceleration." how can i start 3D acceleration? [22:22] <Agent_bob> blackv1 that might work. but vga=normal should tell the kernel to not adjust the display and thus leave it in a viewable state [22:23] <maximilion> dragon: go to Admin/Screen & Graphics and make sure you have the correct driver for your gfx card [22:23] <blackv1> Agent_bob: how about all the stuff are ready written in the boot options? should I erase it first? [22:23] <badkitty> Starnestommy: Your right, but I use pidgin for IRC... I guess im not l33t enough for other cool stuff yet. [22:23] <leblinux> Jack_Sparrow, I'll guess we have to wait.

[22:29] <ronin_> it is a tar.bz2 file [22:29] <Agent_bob> spectie then you know that things can be added [22:29] <spectie> Agent_bob, well, not in my experience :) [22:29] <stugster> oh crap... on an american style keyboard, where is | [22:29] <iKap> is there a task manager? my mplayer seems to have disapeared or crashed..

[22:30] <spectie> i fear my question is not exactly clear [22:30] <spectie> let me try and elucidate... [22:30] <putnum> anybody have issues with installing a hp f1905 flatscreen with ubuntu? [22:30] <spectie> i'm a debian packager [22:30] <Agent_bob> spectie what program in particular ? [22:30] <spectie> i package packages for debian [22:30] <lollo> Oo a person answered me ;) [22:30] <spectie> Agent_bob, apertium [22:30] <skyler345> jack_Sparrow, my laptop comes with a vga only on the back but I think that it would mean the card supports cloning right? [22:30] <maximilion> skyler345: Clone? [22:30] <spectie> the version of apertium in hardy is 3.0.5 (good!) [22:30] <brobostigon> ikap: top is a cli task manager [22:30] <spectie> but i'm just packaging two pieces of software which will make it much more useful for the average ubuntu user [22:30] <Jack_Sparrow> skyler345: no it does not mean that.. [22:31] <spectie> i expect that they will be in debian unstable by this weekend [22:31] <spectie> so my question is [22:31] <spectie> if i package this software and get it in debian unstable by the weekend [22:31] <Jack_Sparrow> skyler345: It may, but that is not how you can determine that [22:31] <spectie> does it have a chance of getting into hardy [22:31] <spectie> sorry for the long explanation [22:31] <Jack_Sparrow> I need to run..play nice everyone [22:31] <skyler345> jack_sparrow, oh, wait, but when we first turn the computer on, it clones the image on the tv until the ubuntu login screen and then turns off [22:31] <kockas> ok can any1 tell me how i can log on root?=P [22:31] <stugster> NVidia are bastards [22:31] <maximilion> Jack_Sparrow: Do you think he could solve it easy with a VGA splitter cable? [22:31] <spectie> kockas, sudo -s [22:31] <badkitty> stugster: why? [22:31] <blackv1> yeah I'm at lose nothing seems to get it to boot. I need a really easy to use distro though since its for a roommate who uses windows? any suggestions? [22:31] <genii> !root | kockas [22:31] <ubotu> kockas: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password.

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [22:31] <neopsyche> erUSUL: not sure what to do after run configure [22:32] <stugster> because this gfx card is meant to output DVI in windows... it doesn't do that [22:32] <skyler345> maximilion, thanks for helping btw its been a long 2 weeks [22:32] <stugster> and now it's causing me problems with ubuntu as well [22:32] <stugster> using simple vga [22:32] <Slue_Gniffer> This Flash player 9 update is still giving me a hard time. [22:32] <maximilion> stugster: Well, I love ATi :) But in the linux world, they're actually better at making drivers ;) [22:32] <kockas> i dont know my pw from my root -.- [22:32] <stugster> hehe [22:32] <genii> kockas: Although it is possible to do. Just extremely extremely discouraged [22:32] <Agent_bob> spectie as i understand it, (subjest to error) no. backport is the only way that that will make hardy. [22:32] <spectie> Agent_bob, thanks [22:32] <maximilion> stugster: nvidia, that is. [22:32] <spectie> Agent_bob, is there a voting system for backports ? [22:32] <Starnestommy> kockas: use sudo. you don't need to use the root account [22:32] <kockas> look [22:33] <kockas> i wana to open some files [22:33] <stugster> i'm never buying nVidia again [22:33] <spectie> because apertium has been waiting for a gutsy backport for a while [22:33] <stugster> from now on it's ATI all the way [22:33] <kockas> and i cant open it and i dont know how to open it [22:33] <kockas> i start terminal like dos [22:33] <spectie> and the sad thing is that the one actually in gutsy is broken [22:33] <Agent_bob> spectie the web page on that can tell you more than i can actually [22:33] <kockas> and i know sudo is command to open some program [22:33] <spectie> ok thanks [22:33] <tacone> does anyone know how to get Gtk Look and Feel for Java applications ? [22:33] <kockas> but it asks for some pw and i know which pw it asks from my username and i type it [22:33] <kockas> and it wont work [22:33] <genii> kockas: Sudo gives you temporary root permissions to run or change things. You don't need root login. [22:33] <kockas> says wrong pw [22:33] <MsK`> hi, I noticed a problem with libsdl, dunno if it comes from the ubuntu package or not [22:34] <brobostigon> kockas: try gksudo nautilus, that will open nautilus as root. [22:34] <Slue_Gniffer> If anyone can help with this Flash Player 9 update, that'd be great. [22:34] <MsK`> opengl is not hardware accelerated when launched with libsdl [22:34] <Starnestommy> it's asking for your user login assword [22:34] <Starnestommy> *password [22:34] <Agent_bob> kockas what are you trying to do ? [22:34] <MsK`> I got that from gDEBugguer (and it explains why I have 30 fps under linux for a simple app and 200 on windows...) [22:34] <kockas> ahm this command works [22:34] <kockas> gksudo nautilus [22:34] <spectie> ok damn [22:35] <genii> kockas: Is this username the first username that ubuntu made or one made after? Only the first by default can do sudo. [22:35] <spectie> it won't get into there in time for a backport either [22:35] <kockas> ahm i got only one username === zetto_ is now known as Zetto [22:35] <maximilion> Hm, what is the offtopic channel name again?

[22:37] <spectie> looking at how i can get a debian package into hardy [22:37] <genii> Hmm I think I see the problem [22:37] <Starnestommy> kockas: I think you need wine to open that [22:37] <maximilion> Starnestommy: speling eror.

[22:45] <lcb--> lcb-- and restart firefox after removing gnash [22:45] <SNuxoll> Cleric: well, no if you use update manager [22:45] <pioSko> Agent_bob: package manager wont work... not sure why but it wont see cd-rom even when it's mounted and has install cd inside [22:45] <kockas> "this may mean the package is missing,has been obsoleted,or is only available from anther source" [22:45] <Cleric> Snuxoll: will all of my personal files, documents and installed programs remain as they are, retaining settings?

Gnash was the problem apparently. Hah, thanks. [22:46] <Cleric> SNuxoll: so I don't need to make any backups?

[22:47] <Cleric> SNuxoll: thanks, also i prefer using kopete but when i join #ubuntu it doesn't open a channel such as this? [22:47] <dragon> when i clicked on the nvidia-glx package and put applied did it download the needed drivers? or just enable me to download them?

[22:49] <joseph_> i use xchat [22:49] <Starnestommy> I use xchat and irssi [22:49] <Pici> !best [22:49] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. [22:49] <SNuxoll> Cleric: irssi is what I'd consider 'best', but unless you are comfortable with IRC commands and are willing to run a terminal then you should just use Xchat [22:49] <DjViper> is there an open office channel on this network? [22:49] <dragon> i dont see a restricted drivers manager anywhere in my menus [22:49] <kockas> so how i can enable it?

I'm trying to figure this out, the only hopeful thing I've seen is http://blog.vaxius.net/?p=19 but it seems to imply that it will break compiz-fusion if I do it. Anybody know more about this? [22:50] <fyrestrtr> it was announced in fiesty. [22:50] <pioSko> Agent_bob: i have many times ejected the cd (btw: i'm in winXP atm and need to reboot in order to try whatever it is in need to do...) [22:50] <Starnestommy> kockas: Use the "Sofware Sources" program. It should be under the "Administration" menu in the "System" menu at the top of the screen. [22:50] <petrus> Bonsoir [22:50] <fyrestrtr> puff: ATI chipset? [22:51] <Elevator_Hazard> thanks I'll have a look. [22:51] <dep> puff: if you did a dist-upgrade, there could be many things that could have broken suspend, why do you think it was compiz-fusion specifically? [22:51] <dragon> i have the live cd image for the new gutsy/hardy but i cant seem to sucsusfully burn it into a bootable CD [22:51] <puff> fyrestrtr: yeah. [22:51] <fyrestrtr> puff: you need to use the binary drivers from ATI in order for suspend to work. [22:51] <kakarot0> need help cant use webcam on amsn [22:51] <kockas> i entered some "synaptic package manager" is it that? [22:51] <fyrestrtr> puff: specifically from ati.com, not the ones in the repos. [22:52] <puff> dep: I should have phrased that better. "it" broke suspend referred to the upgrade.

[22:52] <flats> I have Ubuntu Ultimate edition. My question is that at login where I choose my login name. A sound file plays. I want to disable that sound file. It must be seperate from the normal sound system because I have my volume muted once I get logged in but as soon as the login screen comes on, a loud music files plays. Any idea where I can disable that? [22:52] <fyrestrtr> yes. [22:53] <puff> fyrestrtr: what's involved in setting them up manually? [22:53] <Starnestommy> kockas: use the "Search" button near the top of the window === kaelten_ is now known as Kaelten [22:53] <flats> I have Ubuntu Ultimate edition.

It must be seperate from the normal sound system because I have my volume muted once I get logged in but as soon as the login screen comes on, a loud music files plays. Any idea where I can disable that? [22:53] <fyrestrtr> puff: its really straight forward, kernel sources, download, get out of X, run from console, run the file, click, click, and done. You need to disable and uninstall the previous drivers first otherwise you'll get lots of lovely messages on boot. [22:53] <kockas> and i have to search wine' [22:53] <kockas> ? [22:53] <Starnestommy> kockas: yes [22:53] <dragon> i got ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso but i cant make a bootable CD out of it to upgrade [22:53] <fyrestrtr> flats: please do not repeat.

[22:54] <dragon> how do i run the checksum? [22:54] <dep> flats: gdm controls the playing of the login sound, run gdmsetup and you should be able to disable I think, checking on that [22:54] <_elemental> having issues getting my 7600GT setup, have tried binary from nvidia and envy, not giving the correct resolutions and boots into low graphics mode [22:54] <drambuie> flats, system/preferences/sound center tab to turn off sounds [22:54] <kockas> in which folder ususally is wine=?

[23:11] <kockas> i tried and it ask for pw and i type pw than after it it say some error [23:11] <Pirate_Hunter> badkitty: I'm about to downlaod it but need to run win xp as virtual machine but i dont think its the same way as doing it in Vbox [23:11] <cpk1> how important is acpi? if I turn it off will I notice any negative effects? [23:11] <PriceChild> kockas, then you put the wrong password in [23:11] <fyrestrtr> Administrator: then what's the problem? You are not getting it? [23:11] <riaal> clinton: okey :( [23:12] <PriceChild> cpk1, it does important things such as battery/power management [23:12] <sintax98> anyone out there using drbl? [23:12] <Administrator> fyrstrtr but I have it set to give its IP to the adapter of the puter [23:12] <kockas> pw is not wrong [23:12] <kockas> but some error is there [23:12] <PriceChild> kockas, what error? [23:12] <fyrestrtr> Administrator: then? [23:12] <kockas> listen this what it write [23:12] <Administrator> fyrstrtr firefox is not connecting in Ubuntu [23:12] <Pirate_Hunter> fyrestrtr: :( but since were on this topic whats the difference? I just want to run win xp on my ubuntu [23:12] <PriceChild> !paste | kockas [23:12] <ubotu> kockas: 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) [23:12] <cpk1> PriceChild: it also sends interrupts, right? I am on a desktop so dont need power/battery management [23:12] <PriceChild> cpk1, I'm afraid I don't know :) [23:12] <lostrose> fyrestrtr: thank's for the heads up [23:13] <badkitty> Pirate_Hunter: Well for sure you need the server version so you can make your own OS, then you install windows as usual through vmware.. just make sure you allow the cd-rom to work and boot etc [23:13] <bob__> any idea for a good HTML and CSS editor for ubuntu? [23:13] <Azer> vi [23:13] <kockas> "Package wine is not available,but it is referred to by another package.This may mean that the package is missing,has been obsoleted,or is only available from another source" [23:13] <fyrestrtr> Pirate_Hunter: the vmware player is software that can run a pre-made virtual machine image (a .vmx file). A vmware server allows you to create virtual machines and install operating systems on them. So if you want to run XP inside a virtual machine on an ubuntu host, you need to download the vmware server (which is also free), create a new virtual machine, then install XP in that virtual machine. Hope this is clear. [23:13] <dep> bob__: bluefish [23:13] <kockas> see what i wrote there [23:13] <Pirate_Hunter> badkitty: do i ahve to pay for the server version? [23:13] <fyrestrtr> Administrator: pastebin the output of ifconfig [23:13] <bob__> dep, i'll check i out [23:13] <PriceChild> kockas, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install wine [23:13] <XceII> I just put a video card in, it keeps saying, (running local scripts), what can i put in terminal for it to load? [23:14] <badkitty> Pirate_Hunter: I think the server version is free along with the player [23:14] <PriceChild> badkitty, Pirate_Hunter no you don't [23:14] <puff> fyrestrtr: Your t43 page doesn't mention the ATI stuff that I can see, is there more info on it elsewhere? [23:14] <kockas> that update works [23:14] <PriceChild> badkitty, Pirate_Hunter you can get the player, then use easyvmx.com - or just use virtualbox [23:14] <kockas> and wine same thing again [23:14] <badkitty> PriceChild: Which is the one that you have to pay for? [23:14] <fyrestrtr> puff: its the last line on the bottom. [23:14] <PriceChild> badkitty, workstation [23:14] <fyrestrtr> puff: its a very old, known issue with ATI laptop chipsets and suspend. [23:14] <PriceChild> badkitty, the new server version is scary [23:14] <bob__> bluefish looks top [23:14] <bob__> thanks [23:14] <Administrator> fyrstrtr: I cant I am trip bootin with XP nd Vista nd Ubuntu, hense I am on the machine now in XP [23:14] <badkitty> PriceChild: lol and how is that [23:15] <dep> bob__: excellent, good luck [23:15] <fyrestrtr> Administrator: then we cannot help you. [23:15] <atoponce> why doesn't lastb work? [23:15] <PriceChild> badkitty, it just is... never figured out where the gui was myself :) [23:15] <puff> fyrestrtr: Ah, now I see it :-). [23:15] <PriceChild> !doesn't work | atoponce [23:15] <ubotu> atoponce: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [23:15] <Pirate_Hunter> badkitty, PriceChild: ok i just wish to move away from vbox "had soem issues with it" and try vmware still will give it a try [23:15] <Administrator> how do u pastebin? [23:15] <puff> fyrestrtr: Hm, suspend *was* working before I upgraded from feisty to gutsy. [23:15] <PriceChild> !paste | Administrator [23:15] <coincoin169> i have got the same problem brobostigon [23:15] <ubotu> Administrator: 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) [23:15] <bob__> got it installed, thanks again dep [23:15] <fyrestrtr> !pastebin | Administrator [23:15] <PriceChild> Pirate_Hunter, well then i'd suggest vmware player, and easyvmx.com [23:15] <atoponce> PriceChild: ok. why aren't failed login attempts being displayed in lastb? [23:15] <coincoin169> the install programm cannot find any cdrom [23:15] <XceII> I just put a video card in, it keeps saying, (running local scripts), what can i put in terminal for it to load? [23:16] <atoponce> lastb, afterall, only does one thing... [23:16] <fyrestrtr> puff: yes, but in all its helpfull-ness, gutsy went and installed the binary drivers for your video card; hence no more suspend. [23:16] <badkitty> PriceChild: That website you mentioned earlier, is that the one that pre-configures several various types of virtual machines for you to download? [23:16] <coincoin169> i tried to mount it in the console as it is described on the bottom of the page [23:16] <PriceChild> atoponce, aren't failed attempts shown at login then cleared? [23:16] <kockas> so i have to quit ubuntu?? and start xp? [23:16] <PriceChild> badkitty, yes [23:16] <Administrator> fyrstrtr so if I copied the ifconfig in ubuntu nd saved it to a txt file I could copy and paste it here? [23:16] <kockas> or some1 can explain me that wine [23:16] <coincoin169> but it tells me that No such device [23:16] <Pirate_Hunter> PriceChild: yeah seems interesting still need to know how to combine both or even first how to untar vmplayer :( and than use it with that [23:16] <bob__> dep, is see it has PHP support also, Rocks! [23:16] <fyrestrtr> Administrator: if by 'here' you mean the pastebin website, then ys. [23:16] <Bluey> can anyone help me load martian? [23:16] <fyrestrtr> Administrator: just don't paste it in the channel. [23:16] <atoponce> PriceChild: shouldn't be, unless i'm missing something [23:16] <dep> bob__: yeah, it's pretty solid =) [23:17] <badkitty> PriceChild: I think you may have mentioned this before a week or 2 ago [23:17] <Administrator> fyrstrtr ok I think I see [23:17] <PriceChild> Pirate_Hunter, just untar it, then read the "README" file in there :) [23:17] <Administrator> b bak soon [23:17] <PriceChild> atoponce, no idea if not sorry. [23:17] <bob__> dep: tried dreamweaver in wine first but taht's aweful to run [23:17] <atoponce> PriceChild: np. anyone else know why lastb is not displaying failed login attempts? [23:17] <Pirate_Hunter> PriceChild: is it me or does vmware player and the other one just take way too much hard disk space compared to vbox [23:18] <coincoin169> brobostigon are you there ? [23:18] <brobostigon> coincoin169: yes [23:18] <PriceChild> Pirate_Hunter, I haven't compared. Perhaps you have been using full allocation in one, and dynamically expanding discs in the other. [23:18] <sintax98> can anyone tell me how to get a dell optiplex 320 to install ubuntu? I know there was a known issue in the kernel, but I was hoping there would be some way around it [23:18] <_elemental> k, using the driver from restricted driver manager and I'm back in low graphics mode [23:18] <coincoin169> it detects no cdrom drive [23:18] <fyrestrtr> sintax98: what was the problem? [23:19] <Pirate_Hunter> PriceChild: doubt considering i havent installed it yet just checking the sizes on the site [23:19] <brobostigon> coincoin169: sorry its very late here i am motsly asleep,i cannot help. [23:19] <atoponce> anyone know about lastb? [23:19] <lns> Anyone know about the server kernel restricted drivers package? Is there one? [23:19] <PriceChild> Pirate_Hunter, sorry, thought you meant the disk images rather than the actual install [23:20] <fyrestrtr> atoponce: what about it? [23:20] <lulzturtle> does anyone here have any experience running a dedicated team fortress 2 linux server? [23:20] <Pirate_Hunter> PriceChild: np :D [23:20] <sintax98> fyrestrtr: there's an issue with the onboard SATA, when I try to load the OS it just freezes after saying "MSI quirk detected.

There is a forum thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405008 Currently I know of no solution but to use the regular iso. -- Stenico [23:21] <pingui> could some one help m out [23:21] <fyrestrtr> sintax98: does the system have any software raid or anything like that? [23:21] <coincoin169> i should have read this before [23:21] <astro76> atoponce: are the failed login attemps in /var/log/btmp ?

[23:22] <nickrud> Tonren: it's simply telling you the technique it's using to access the usb. [23:22] <atoponce> astro76: no [23:22] <kockas> package wine is not available,but is referred to by another package.This may mean that the package is missing,has been obsoleted or is only available from another source [23:22] <fyrestrtr> !info wine [23:22] <ubotu> wine (source: wine): Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library).

Second off, why does it need SCSI? SCSI is older than the hills. [23:22] <nickrud> kockas: system->admin->software sources , enable the first 4 and disable the cdrom [23:22] <badkitty> kockas: sounds like the universe repository is not activated [23:22] <sintax98> fyrestrtr: nothing special, it seems like it's a bug (from searching online for it) I was trying to get it to PXE boot from a drbl server and it freezes there too (I even tried disabling all the drives) [23:23] <puff> fyrestrtr: Ah. [23:23] <kockas> i cant find it :S [23:23] <fyrestrtr> Tonren: its 'SCSI emulation' -- how else can it attach a block device over USB? SCSI may be 'older than the hills', but its the best way to get emulation going for USB block devices. [23:23] <nickrud> Tonren: why it's not mounting is another question, but what's wrong with scsi ? [23:23] <lulzturtle> does anyone here have any experience running a dedicated team fortress 2 linux server? I need some help. [23:23] <Tonren> nickrud: fyrestrtr: Well, fair enough. I was under the impression that SCSI was just a deprecated standard. But if it's supposed to work, sure. Now, howcome it isn't mounting? [23:23] <kockas> look [23:23] <Bluey> i need to find the root directory for martian to be installed. where can i find it? [23:23] <fyrestrtr> sintax98: dell might be able to help you -- they are warming up to ubuntu (apparently) [23:24] <kockas> i go to folder "sys" and tried to find folder administ... [23:24] <kockas> and i cant find it [23:24] <astro76> atoponce: ok then lastb is probably working correctly but the login attempts aren't being logged in the first place [23:24] <atoponce> astro76: logwatch is installed. would this "steal" the logging? [23:24] <Tonren> nickrud: fyrestrtr : When I manually mount it, it works fine. It doesn't seem to be able to mount it automatically, though. [23:24] <fyrestrtr> Tonren: err, no its not deprecated at all. There are tons of things that use SCSI and its still very much in use today.

[23:34] <Tonren> _Oz__: You can remove it, but it may still give you problems. Some people have to re-install. [23:34] <kockas> yes yes im on browser brb [23:34] <nonXero> does anyone know how I could disable the startup services in ubuntu from the command line? [23:34] <_Oz_> mgalaxy: I'd recommend ubuntu [23:34] <Dante> How do I uninstall Emerald? [23:34] <nickrud> nonXero: install rcconf , its useful for that [23:34] <Tonren> fyrestrtr: I did /etc/init.d/hal restart, and I'm still getting the same error. [23:34] <astro76> MGalaxy: I'd recommend 32bit [23:34] <chubs730> mgalaxy: either, 64 bit version will be slightly faster, but there are a few issues [23:34] <nonXero> nickrud: thx. will do. [23:34] <_Oz_> tonren: thanks. I'll try it... don't have too much to lose, I guess. I can get back to where I am on this install quickly. [23:34] <shawn_selig29> i think im gonna come in here later tonite and get osme help reinstalling it.....cause im running vista on my lapotp now and iw ant to dual boot with ubuntu...will ubuntu auto confgure boot loader? [23:34] <xstyr> apt-get remove emerald ? [23:34] <Tonren> MGalaxy: If you use 64bit, you won't have Flash. [23:34] <yusuo> just untick emerald in sypnatic Dante [23:35] <Tonren> _Oz_: Then it's probably worth it. It's very rewarding if it works. [23:35] <Tonren> _Oz_: What kind of graphics card do you have? [23:35] <FetusCakeMix> I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my laptop (ATI Radeon x1800 video) and it crashes when it tries to load my VGA drivers. [23:35] <nickrud> nonXero: also, update-rc.d but that's a complicated one [23:35] <_Oz_> tonren: old school, it's slow [23:35] <stelt> using add/remove in the application menu doesn't show amsn, how do i add it then? [23:35] <kockas> i dont have that system [23:35] <_Oz_> not sure, it's integrated onto a cheapy dell mobo, P4 [23:35] <nickrud> shawn_selig29: yes [23:35] <kockas> i only got applications and computer in my corner [23:35] <yusuo> it'll be 64 _Oz__ [23:35] <Tonren> _Oz_: Hmmm... I wouldn't bother trying, then. [23:35] <chubs730> Mgalaxy: this is true to an extent, it's fairly painless to get flash working now, but definitely not as easy as just going with 32bit [23:35] <shawn_selig29> cause i need vista and ubuntu for my college [23:35] <_Oz_> no? [23:35] <Dante> thanks yusuo [23:35] <nickrud> kockas: then you have something very odd, how about a screenshot? [23:35] <_Oz_> I have a much more powerful computer with an nvidia card... but that one has a lot of important stuff on it. [23:36] <iKap> where can i find my syslog?!

It's about a year and a half old. I had to jump through some SERIOUS hoops. [23:36] <chubs730> if you have more than 3gb of ram however, you may want to go 64bit [23:36] <shawn_selig29> when sp1 for vista comes out...would it mess up ubuntus bootloader? [23:36] <_Oz_> tonren: ah, ok. [23:36] <Pirate_Hunter> whats the command to erase password once you use it? [23:36] <maze_> MGalaxy: I use ubuntu 7.10 amd64 with an intel core2 6400 and was easy to setup, the amd64 ubuntu forum is very helpful [23:36] <_Oz_> is there somewhere I can see a screenshot of compiz? [23:36] <Tonren> _Oz_: I recommend trying it out sometime if you get the chance, though. It's very fun. [23:36] <Tonren> _Oz_: www.compiz-fusion.org [23:36] <xstyr> Vista SP! may if it writes to the MBR [23:36] <astro76> shawn_selig29: no assuming it's like any other windows update [23:36] <iKap> does anyone know where i can find my syslogs and all.. im trying to find errors?? [23:36] <yusuo> go to youtube theres loads of videos on it [23:36] <nickrud> shawn_selig29: I wouldn't expect it to, but getting back a bootloader is trivial [23:36] <_Oz_> thanks. [23:36] <MGalaxy> astro76: chubs730, Tonren: so, do u recommend me to use 32bit edition? [23:36] <FetusCakeMix> I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my laptop (ATI Radeon x1800 video) and it crashes when it tries to load my VGA drivers. [23:36] <kockas> how to make screenshot??

Just fool around with the system menu for a while; maybe right click and try "EDIT"ing it. [23:37] <xstyr> have fun installing ubuntu ! [23:37] <astro76> MGalaxy: no amd64 is an architecture also used by intel now, in the core duos [23:37] <chubs730> Mgalaxy: yeah, stick with the 32bit then, but i'm running 64bit myself and forums are very helpful [23:37] <Tonren> Does anyone know if Warcraft III runs on Wine well? [23:37] <Bluey> can anyone help me load martian? [23:38] <PriceChild> !wow | Tonren [23:38] <ubotu> Tonren: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [23:38] <chubs730> it runs perfectly tonren === solid_liquid is now known as solid_liq [23:38] <ahave> if i have a distro of ubuntu (linuxICE) that does not have certain packages, can I add them via USB stick?

I hate it when things break with updates. [23:39] <Pirate_Hunter> whats the command to erase password once you use it and how do i mount iso images in ubuntu?

[23:39] <xstyr> yes [23:39] <nickrud> kockas: brb in 5 [23:39] <kockas> oki ^^ [23:39] <Tonren> _Oz_: Nothing you do in Ubuntu can affect your Windows install, unless you're actually messing with the partition. [23:40] <chubs730> tonren: yeah it's annoying but the performance was near perfect with .9.43 already, so if you're only using wine for warcraft it's completely fine [23:40] <xstyr> If you dont format ur XP drive-if your partioning, you could damage XP [23:40] <astro76> shawn_selig29: ubuntu [23:40] <shawn_selig29> thxs [23:40] <Extend> anyone got ruby on rails rubygems working with apache ?

[23:42] <Elevator_Hazard> Gah... Who knows how to fix my usb headset sound problem? sound only works every now and then. [23:42] <chubs730> tonren: i've never heard of those repos, i don't do much dota, but it's always worked fine using the normal ones [23:42] <iKap> how can i reinstall nautilus?! any commands through terminal? [23:42] <astro76> iKap: why do you feel you need to reinstall nautilus? [23:42] <chubs730> tonren: and i usually just download older versions directly from the winehq deb archives and then install them [23:42] <linlynx6> sudo apt-get install nautilus [23:42] <chubs730> tonren: i'll find the command just a second [23:43] <Tonren> chubs730: Do you happen to know which version has the best stability with b.net?
