I'm about to install ubuntu for the first time. I have two 74gig partitions. one, XP will be installed and the other will be ubuntu. my question is how do I make swap space? i have another hard drive too if that helps [00:14] :( [00:14] pike_: cool... thanks [00:14] Leechzilla: well just turn off wep or wpa for now. can you just connect? [00:15] can I install XP after I've already installed Ubuntu? [00:15] pike_: yes [00:15] Tantric132: Ubuntu will make it's own swap space when you install [00:15] jjgalvez: yes [00:15] Leechzilla: ok is this a lappy or desktop computer? [00:15] tantric132-> during installation's partitioning phase, select new paritition and assign space to it, also making it swap type [00:15] tantric132: of the 74 you gave to ubuntu, cut off about 2xram, up to about 2gb for swap [00:15] pike_: but I need encryption [00:15] but when I installed it before it said that there was no swap space assigned and that it was recommeded to add it [00:15] pike_: Laptop [00:15] Jack_Sparrow: I just searched for it, I do not have a Drivers/Driver18/ folder [00:15] jjgalvez: You just need to setup grub manually, if ubuntu goes on last it does that for you [00:16] jack_sparrow, anything I need to look out for? what about the boot record, will I still be able to boot into ubuntu when I'm done or will I have to fix something? [00:16] Leechzilla: oh.. youd prefer not to use the terminal to connect? [00:16] tantric132: yes, make two partitions out of the 74gb for ubuntu [00:16] cellwind929: That tutorial does not tell us anything [00:16] pike_: yeah [00:16] * Kibbles_ is out. thanks all [00:17] Jack_Sparrow: yeah, it just assumes that I know where to put the firmware files, thats why I thought someone here might know [00:17] jjgalvez: You will only have windows after you install windows [00:17] nickrud, i have premade partitions if this helps. I am running the live cd atm. my plan is to reboot, install XP first on the empty unallocated part of the drive(74.52GB). then I will install ubuntu on the ext3 partition I have made(74.53GB) [00:17] Jack_Sparrow: are you busy? [00:17] Jack_sparrow, but my ubuntu install will still be there right? just not bootable until I reinstall grub right? [00:18] tantric132: yes, that will work. [00:18] nickrud, and also if it helps, when im installing ubuntu and it ask for which option I would like to do with partitoning, there is like 3 options. one is split the selected partition in half, the other is to creat a new partition and the last is manual [00:18] nathan64: Yes a bit.. is it a quick question? [00:18] nickrud, so which do I choose? [00:18] when in installation [00:18] Jack_Sparrow: sort of [00:18] tantric132: use guided partitioning [00:18] Leechzilla: for wep you could use gtkwifi instead of network manager umm with wpa_sup i dont think there is a good front end other than network manager [00:19] Leechzilla: the upside is im very often wrong [00:19] nickrud, thanks for the help. off to do that now! [00:19] Anizuka, Lol....Anyone helping you? === c is now known as Charitwo [00:20] pike_: I want to use it with wicd [00:20] nickrud, last thing. guided partitioning is the one where i have to select a %? default is 50%. right? should I do 50%? [00:20] idivine: no.. =P [00:20] Jack_Sparrow: can i pm you? [00:20] Leechzilla: broadcom? [00:20] idivine: didnt ask ;P [00:20] pike_: Intel [00:21] anyone here has urxvt with a customized font? i'm having with gutsy [00:21] nathan64: In channel please.. I can already tell this isnt a quick question, or at least the answer is not [00:21] Anizuka, Oh, Btw instead of typing my whole name, try, iDi and press tab ;P [00:21] *having problems* [00:21] idi? [00:21] Whenever I start Terminal, it logs me out... Does anyone know why? I have tried reinstalling to no avail [00:21] julz: check your .bashrc or .zshrc or something like that [00:21] julz: maybe temporarly rename it [00:22] tantric132: I don't remember it that way; look at pointing your install at the empty partition, and letting it define how it will break it up into system or swap. If you have problems with finding what you want, come back and someone (I'll be around more later) will walk you through manual if necessary [00:22] or not.. i dunno. i'd do that. [00:22] jack_sparrow, so if i install XP my ubuntu install will still be there, just not bootable right? [00:22] hsuh: where are these located? sorry im still learning all this [00:22] tantric132: that should have read system and swap above [00:22] Leechzilla: try the fix near the bottom of this thread maybe: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=419806 [00:22] could someone tell me how to tell what drivers my wifi card is using? [00:22] I access a network at work but I can only get to a folder and not the actual drive so I cant mount the drive but I can make a perm link, where can I find where that link is created in the tree?

Any help would be highly appreciated!

I added a driver to the initrd.gz file on the Gutsy Server ISO. This allowed it to see my RAID card. THe OS installs fine, but will not boot (I can get the message). I believe the installation doesn't have the driver. Is there a way I can get it there?

[00:36] basically i installed the realtek driver(from their site) this morning because i thought the sound was broken [00:36] turns out i just had the speaker off (durr) [00:36] and now it's not working, i need to get it out and put the ubuntu default sound stuff back in [00:36] nathan64: for apt-get purposes, update means get the list of available packages, and upgrade means install everything that has a new version. You will not be running any upgrades, only one install [00:36] Can anyone help me with my Adept problem? [00:37] cellwind929: im assuming it should go to the lib firmware dir at /lib/firmware/$(uname -r)/ could be wrong [00:37] helo [00:37] nickrud: ok thanks im doing that right now [00:37] how r u people? [00:38] i`m new to linux [00:38] is there a way i can see what is using my processor?

[00:42] pike_: yeah, its 60 dollars at circuit city. so i jumped on it, im just new to compiling stuff myself, hopefully i can get it working with mythtv [00:42] DrBeaverhausen: foxytunes should work with amarok without a problem [00:42] I'm having problems with my Linksys wifi usb and Ubuntu (Gutsy) thinking that it is disconnected completely.

[01:05] tcpdumpgod - but the driver is not supported directly. I have compiled it on another gutsy machine [01:05] RAID 1, 5? [01:05] I've installed Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory here (Gutsy) and everything works fine, except that it doesn't fetch any servers on the server list.... Any ideas? [01:05] Tommck, make and model of the RAID card? [01:05] tcpdumpgod - highpoint rr1740 - doing raid 1 on this machine [01:05] Is it SATA RAID Tommck ? [01:05] Tommck, 2 SCSI drives? [01:05] mirroring [01:05] tcpdumpgod - sata mirrored === |muelli| is now known as Muelli [01:05] sata mirrored. [01:05] Okay, i can fix this no sweat. [01:06] The problem is, is that you're installing grub on both drives. [01:06] ZaphodBeeblebrox, what about the filters? [01:06] thats wack [01:06] tcpdumpgod - huh? [01:06] tcpdumpgod - it shouldn't know about 2 drives [01:06] so how do I add tracks and online stations to elisa aron [01:06] Tommck, does your raid controller get recognized on boot? [01:06] tcpdumpgod - yes [01:06] zaivaldi: All deactivated, except for the password one. I even disabled the "full/empty" filter [01:06] okay, so it sees one drive correct? [01:07] or "one drive" [01:07] tcpdumpgod - yes [01:07] help plz [01:07] Well Tommck since it cant distinguish between /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1, its installing grub on the MBR of both drives. [01:07] Cause it sees it as 1 drive. [01:07] tcpdumpgod there is only one drive [01:07] tcpdumpgod the raid-1 makes it look like a single drive to the OS [01:07] it just needs a disk controller driver [01:08] Tommck, thats what im saying dude. [01:08] the ROM on the hardware raid controller takes care of the mirroring. [01:08] tcpdumpgod - right [01:08] plz I need online radio in elisa more stations [01:08] So it makes the OS SEE IT AS ONE DRIVE. [01:08] One more question with regard to ripping to ogg -- what would the 'quality [01:08] Right? [01:08] tcpdumpgod - yes [01:08] tcpdumpgod - it runs at a BIOS level [01:08] One more question with regard to ripping to ogg -- what would the 'quality' equivalent to 320kbps be in ogg vobis? [01:08] Tommck, when you install the os, it sees the one drive /dev/sda correct? [01:08] tcpdumpgod - yes [01:09] tcpdumpgod - so yes.. it physically writes it to 2 disks.... [01:09] exneo: someone can help they can. Also check the forums. [01:09] hello. [01:09] ZaphodBeeblebrox, dont have any idea.. versions are ok? [01:09] tcpdumpgod - but the machine is never aware of that [01:09] can you stream music over RDP? [01:09] so Tommck if breaks the 1 mirrors down to two partitions, /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2, then its breaking down the 1st and 2nd drive because they're mirroring right? [01:09] zaivaldi: Just downloaded the latest version (2.60) [01:09] :( [01:09] tcpdumpgod - no.. they can't be seen as different drives [01:09] Are you following me man?

[01:42] roddersg, i don't know what those parameters mean ;x [01:42] File xorgconf found in ltsp-server [01:43] only takes a second to chown [01:43] I've gotten to the point where I used the LiveCD to install GRUB onto my 500GB hard drive (the one with a complete Ubuntu filesystem, but wouldn't boot) [01:43] Currently, GRUB loads, but then the system hangs at "Loading, please wait..." [01:43] PRAEDO: Did you catch that [01:44] simps: try sudo ethtool eth0 [01:44] 500gb still amazes me.. [01:44] isn't ltsp related to conf? [01:44] whats the command for nvidia-setting [01:44] <==old trs-80 programmmer [01:44] it'll be the home directory for like 15 users or so :) [01:44] <-- started using Linux a year ago :P [01:44] anyone here know what repository I need to load to get webmin? [01:44] what do i type in terminal to use the sudo thing? [01:44] hi [01:45] sudo -i [01:45] j_, you have to install the linux-restricted-kernel first, then enable nvidia with nvidia-glx enable, then change dpkg-reconfigure xerser-xorg [01:45] can anyone suggest a way to download a remote file to a remote ftp server without a shell on either [01:45] j_, can send you the link I think [01:45] is it possible? [01:45] hi good afternoon [01:45] hello all. Any of you guys know how I can see all the make targets in the kernel? I'm building from source and need a little refresher on how it all works. [01:45] brandonc503: USe sudo before a command for root access. If calling up a gui app use gksudo [01:45] thanks [01:45] OldToker: you dont [01:45] roddersg, is there a command for wireless? i use wireless [01:46] !webmin [01:46] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [01:46] j_, try looking here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [01:46] Jack_Sparrow, I don't see it in adept... [01:46] simps, how about sudo ethtool wlan0 ? [01:46] and I kinda need it? [01:46] I have a sempron 3500+ which is based on AMD64 technology, which means that it supports 64-bit [01:46] and I have Ubuntu for 32-bit installed, am I loosing something? how better would it be to install the 64bit version? [01:46] or go to restricted drivers for nvidia [01:46] OldToker: Please see what I just posted.. .. It is NOT advised [01:47] Dex-Freudii, Speed from 64-bit packages, but ask yourself what you loose if you use 64-bit, a lot of other packages don't work well [01:47] i install ubuntu linux in my macbook pro... everything works pefect exept the light screen.. for some reason ubuntu low the light then i click to turn the light and 1 minutes later it take it low again [01:47] i wonder what is the problem? [01:47] ok Jack_Sparrowl: Please enlighten me on a nice gui then.. that I can use to manage my user accounts? [01:47] Dex-Freudii: Use 32 until you are really comfortable with it.. THe speed dif is minimal [01:47] roddersg, which packages won't work? [01:48] roddersg, why is that? [01:48] roddersg, doesn't give me speed [01:48] Jack_Sparrow, what are the advantages of using 64bit then? [01:48] Dex-Freudii, on 64-bit you get screwed on the Firefox extensions, java, flash etc, have to look for workarounds [01:48] any onw have idea about this problem? [01:48] with the macbook pro? [01:49] Dex-Freudii, only if you want it as a server, as for packages, they are all there except for the latest versions [01:49] ubuntu takes the screen light very low [01:49] how can i keep it up? [01:49] Dex-Freudii: YOu can make them all work, but you would need to use ndiswrapper (I think thats right) and it just isnt the same [01:49] simps - sorry don't have wireless on this machine to test [01:49] roddersg, can't find a way for eth0 to see transfer speed then? [01:49] Jack_Sparrow, can ya point me in the right direction for a nice user / groups management GUI? [01:49] Dex-Freudii: that is to get 32 bit to run under the 64 bit os [01:49] so if i change the min word len setting in my.ctn or what ever... do i have to remake my tables? or just restart comp? [01:50] simps, try googling for your answer: ubuntu wireless speed command-line [01:50] OldToker: Sorry, I dont know one off the top of my head. [01:50] roddersg, and Jack_Sparrow thank you [01:50] np [01:50] roddersg, sudo iwconfig rate 11M auto [01:50] hello, im using ubuntu in my macbook pro and everything works perfect exept the screen light is very low! [01:50] that's what I use [01:50] ginita, I have a laptop x86 and the screen light doesn't work properly either [01:50] roddersg, alright [01:50] when i turn it up ubuntu take it low again! [01:51] how can i fix this? [01:51] ok Jack_Sparrow, Well then unfortunately I guess I'm stuck with webmin.... at any rate I found instructions for it.. I have used it for like 2 years now.. I'm familiar with it.. thanks anyway :) [01:51] simps, iwlist command [01:51] ginita, which ubuntu are you using? [01:51] OldToker: As long as you are aware of the risks [01:51] 6.10 i think [01:51] Jack_Sparrow, there's risks involved in just puting a computer in the internet now days.. [01:51] :) [01:51] OldToker: Did you even look into Ebox [01:52] the one that holds update for longer time [01:52] simps, yes, I think iwlist is what you are looking for [01:52] ginita, upgrade to 7.04 or 7.10 [01:52] Jack_Sparrow, no but I will thank you... [01:52] well im not sure dex [01:52] how can i see my [01:52] why not? [01:52] ok, good luck [01:52] version? [01:52] roddersg, I think iwconfig is what you want to use to set speed [01:52] dex? [01:52] asdrubal, he dosen't want to set speed, he wants the characteristics of the interface [01:52] roddersg, iwconfig [01:53] roddersg, without any arguments [01:53] press crtl-alt-F2 to see a console and there it says. then get back with ctrl-alt-F7 or F8 [01:53] ah you have mac [01:53] ... [01:53] don't know if ctrl and alt buttons exist [01:53] asdrubal, have a word with him or scroll upwards [01:53] is there a help channel ? [01:53] Dex_Freudii: lol they do. [01:54] hey guys.. im having some problems with my laptop.. I posted my problem on the forums but nobodys replied at all and its been days... I have a laptop with no removable media devices.. it has ubuntu installed on it, but after installing a whole bunch of software now it doesnt boot.. giving me lots of segfaults in my bootup.. is there some way maybe I can skip the software loading at boot or something? [01:54] simps, type iwconfig [01:54] does anyone know how to "glue" subtitles in .srt format to some video using ffmpeg? [01:54] iwconfig [01:54] hrmm [01:54] im new to ubuntu 7.10 [01:55] and i think i messed up the mplayer :p [01:55] simps, try this place:http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch13_:_Linux_Wireless_Networking [01:55] i get the sound ... but i cant see the video === praktikum is now known as komink [01:55] ginita, ???? [01:55] is there a way i can reload the codecs? [01:55] so we can ask ubuntu questions in this chanell? [01:55] i dunno :p [01:55] Hajuu: You are in a tough spot, sorry I dont have an answers [01:55] <_Casey_> dude, ekiga displays my cam every once in a while, but nothing else does [01:55] skull: [01:55] skull: Yes [01:56] <_Casey_> how do i get other stuff to display my cam [01:56] cool!! so glad I found it, google is not always right ;) [01:56] _Casey_: you can try the skype beta.. [01:56] does someone in here know how to solve mplayer or vlc media player problems [01:56] <_Casey_> oh really, it supports video? [01:56] <_Casey_> may i have the link [01:56] I know.. really annoying too, I had just finished updating everything I rebooted and made sure everything was ok.. decided that the worst was over and installed software.. then when it was ALL DONE, this happens :( [01:56] _Casey_: the new beta does.. 2.0 [01:56] <_Oz_> which is faster: a p4 or a celeron? [01:56] <_Casey_> ok hold on [01:56] <_Casey_> ill try it [01:56] _Casey_ : give cheese a try [01:57] <_Casey_> whats cheese [01:57] deva slow down; take a breath and describe your issue in some detail please [01:57] _Casey_: photobooth app [01:57] p4 is normally faster celeron is the cheap version [01:57] ok [01:57] <_Oz_> Right. Deva, calm down! [01:57] i tried playing a .mkv file [01:57] _Oz_: generally a P4 if they have similar sepcs [01:57] <_Casey_> nvm, i found it [01:57] This is weird. I've got two computers, sarg and nexus, and I installed Ubuntu on nexus now. After configuring its network, nothing works. Neither can get ping replies from the other. However nexus receives pings from sarg, the received packet counter goes up. I triplechecked the IPs/netmasks. What the bleep is going on? o.O [01:57] HD 720p movie [01:57] <_Oz_> Jack: thanks [01:57] and i got all these pink and green lines [01:57] no video [01:57] only sound [01:58] and now i cant play any video that i could play before even [01:58] deva_: Please dont use the enter key after every three words [01:58] garou are you dual booting with windos on the same hard drive [01:58] ok as u [01:58] wish [01:58] :p [01:58] <_Casey_> im downloading cheese [01:58] so yea can [01:58] so how do i rebuild indexing for fulltext? [01:58] someone solve my [01:59] problem - _ ) [01:59] spudraticq: No, but my Debian install *should* still be working. [01:59] <_Casey_> dude cheese works [01:59] mine did not work at first was my nic [01:59] Great [01:59] _Casey_: vlc should work, skype beta too [02:00] <_Casey_> vlc has video? [02:00] <_Casey_> i just want to be able to video with people [02:00] _Casey_: ;) [02:00] so you just have ubuntu on the hard drive right [02:00] <_Casey_> can i use skype to video with windows users? [02:00] yes [02:00] No, Ubuntu and Debian. [02:00] erm ... please help me with the video problem if anyone can :p [02:00] without kicking me [02:01] deva_: you say you cant play any videos now? [02:01] deva_: Please do not ignore requests to obey the rules [02:01] yea [02:01] have you tried restarting? [02:01] yea [02:01] deva turn off compiz and try again--also quit with the enter key [02:01] <_Casey_> h/o [02:01] I don't know if this helps but for me it was my card windows would shut it down and the ubuntu driver could not turn it on [02:01] hopw come most of my updates become corrupted? [02:02] umm ok ill try turning off compiz [02:02] but i actually dont know how to :p [02:02] It worked under Debian a few hours ago. [02:02] gimp update is corrupted :( [02:02] oboy03: 1 or most? [02:02] oboy03: They should not.. what are you showing for sources [02:02] im like a total noob here [02:02] <_Oz_> for those of you who've used photoshop extensively... just how close can you get with gimp? [02:02] <_Oz_> can you really do work with it? [02:02] _Oz_: sure, its equal to photoshop or better [02:03] deva you are not going to get much help if you keep up with the three words and enter routine--no kidding [02:03] check out gimpshop also for a single window version [02:03] ca.archive.ubuntu.com seems to be down.... does that resolve to multiple Canadian mirrors? Or just one? Should I find the IP of another of the mirrors and use my hosts file to force new DNS? [02:03] some [02:03] oboy03: try fetching them again.. [02:03] <_Casey_> i just go to skype.com and dl it, is it the 2.0 beta? [02:03] ok [02:03] <_Oz_> hajuu: *really*? I mean, **really**? I've used photoshop for years. It is the industry standard. Is anyone doing professional design work with gimp? [02:03] _Oz_: I am not a photoshop person, I use corel.. but gimp can do a lot [02:03] what kind of nic card do you have garou [02:03] Whats a good alternative to Winamp? [02:04] Hajuu: do i have to use apt-get clean? === grim76_ is now known as Grim76 [02:04] oboy03: use apt-get remove --purge (I think) [02:04] garou what type of nic card do you have mine was realteck [02:04] Errrr, something really generic... RTL81somethingsomething, IIRC. [02:04] ok im sorry but please try to bear with me bazhang [02:04] _Oz_: Personally, I HATE photoshop and I (as a graphic designer) fail to see how it became the industry standard except by them saying so. [02:04] Che-Anarc, XMMS though I don't know if you'll be able to find an equivalent to any winamp plugins you might use [02:04] <_Casey_> where do i find the skype beta [02:05] Hajuu: Good marketing? [02:05] that is most likly the proplem deb is shutting it off and ubuntu can't turn it baack on [02:05] _c it isnt clearly marked and it will say for feisty.. but look for 2.0 [02:06] garou: yeah thats it I guess.. [02:06] _Casey_: that was for you [02:06] I know how to turn it on in windows but this is my first time using ubuntu so I dont know how to do in deb [02:06] spudraticq: Shouldn't I *not* receive packets, then? Also, considering that Ubuntu is based on Debian, that'd be _weird_. [02:06] Errors were encountered while processing: [02:06] /var/cache/apt/archives/gimp_2.4.2-0ubuntu0.7.10.1_i386.deb [02:06] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [02:06] <_Casey_> i did, on google [02:06] deva no can do--you buck the ops here and my patience is at an end--try restarting compiz; alt --f2 compiz --replace, then run the video again, after having quit and restarted the video player [02:06] <_Casey_> found it [02:06] <_Casey_> let me see if it works [02:06] can you ping [02:06] how do i fix it?> [02:07] hmm [02:07] oboy03: Did you ever post your sources.list [02:07] no [02:07] Neither can successfully ping the other.

[02:08] like uhm [02:08] quicktime? [02:08] <_Casey_> anyone want to test? [02:08] Hi. I cannot delete one folder with Ubuntu. I start with "sudo rm -r /folder/location". It is located on a NTFS partition. I have try with the ntfs-3g mount driver. I have also try to change the owner with the "sudo chown -R yourname foldername" command. Any idea? thank you [02:08] but when i check recommended updates in the software sources, i often have trouble [02:08] LjL: You are just too fast... [02:08] thats what I would say it is the card must be enabled after shut down some one here must know how to do it in deb [02:08] bbl, time for experimenting... [02:08] oboy03: and third party repos in that list? [02:09] <_Casey_> so how do i get my microphone working now ;x [02:09] nope [02:09] later g [02:09] i only check canonical and community [02:09] actually i have installed VLC media player too ... and have the same problem as the mplayer [02:09] impt sec update and recommended [02:09] Hayo ... stupid semi off-topic question ... can anyone tell me where the "Home Page" button is in Opera web browser? [02:09] anyone good at squid config? just a couple of things [02:09] _Casey_: make sure its not muted in "Volume Control" [02:09] and restarting compiz fusion did not help. Any other suggestions? [02:10] Hajuu: Please avoid using enter after 2 or 3 words it spams the channel [02:10] oboy03: what about your internet connection? is it adsl/modem dial up or what--how stable is it; also, have you tried a nother mirror? [02:10] <_Casey_> front mic boost? [02:11] bazhang: ADSL, stable, dont know about other mirror [02:11] deva_: read my suggestion in full--quit compiz NOT restart it; try several other video players out there (there are four or five others) and then come back--five seconds is not enough time to do all that [02:11] <_Casey_> shr1k3 is it front mic boost? [02:11] bazhang: im only using the software sources, and whatever ubuntu recommends for update [02:11] <_Casey_> or is that the mic port on the front? [02:12] <_Casey_> its a built in micfrophone [02:12] _Casey_: are you in Volume Control? [02:12] <_Casey_> yes i am [02:12] now i have broken gimp and python package [02:12] Is there a console equivalent to 'update-manager -d'? [02:12] oboy03: you might want to try another mirror--see if it is on the server side where you are--mind posting your sources list? (not here but to pastebin) [02:12] <_Casey_> hda intel, alsa mixer [02:12] _Casey_: for me I have a "Microphone" column [02:12] bazhang: VLC media player and Mplayer both dont play any video file. Even if i play a music file in Mplayer ... the visualization isnt seen .... all i see is green and pink .. sometimes blue color. [02:12] bazhang: how do i do that again? [02:12] _Casey_: it is defaulted to muted (red X at bottom) [02:13] <_Casey_> i have "headphone, pcm, front mic boost, line in boost" [02:13] deva install ubuntu-restricted-extras, then try totem and some of the other video players as well [02:13] _Casey_: go to preferences and check on microphone [02:13] <_Casey_> "mic boost"? [02:13] hey guys, does anyone know what "Kernel panic - not syncing :attempted to kill init!" means??? ... my desktop does not want to boot up [02:13] oboy03: HAve you installed much from outside official repos? it might not be a problem with the dl and it may be something else [02:14] pci error cmd=0x157 status=0xc2b0 [02:14] Could not connect to security.ubuntu.com:80 (91.189.88.37), connection timed out any hint ?

[02:15] deva sudo apt-get install package name (assuming you have the first four software repositories enabled in synaptic) [02:15] xmanxxxx, you might try /join #ubuntu-server [02:15] _Casey_: probably enable them all and experiment a bit [02:15] what is ubuntu-studio? [02:15] <_Casey_> ima try [02:15] yes i do have :) thanks [02:15] Che-Anarc, try apt-cache search [02:15] bazhang: i am downloading from main server BTW [02:16] Dex-Freudii: multimedia editing/creation flavor of Ubuntu [02:16] oboy03: not doubting you--just in order to tell you to use another mirror--you might want to choose another one that is faster and see if that works, thus ruling out the mirror issue [02:16] ok [02:16] Is there a way to get HFS+ support in Linux, specifically read/write to a Mac OS X drive? === ubuntu is now known as mikeaz [02:16] oboy03: 8beabb8c48f2877e54817b554c92beac is the md5sum [02:16] Is there a way to get HFS+ support in Linux, specifically read/write to a Mac OS X drive? [02:17] <_Casey_> is there an app to test the mic [02:17] does gparted do hfs+? [02:17] Jack_Sparrow: what is that? [02:17] I'm trying ot figure out if there is anyway I can get my touch screen working... can anyone help? [02:17] _Casey_: like sound recorder [02:17] I have a laptop with a touchpad and "touch-scrollwheel" thing, is it possible to prevent the touchwheel from switching me to another workspace? [02:17] <_Casey_> yeah, anything [02:17] oboy03: It is the checksum of a good copy of gimp [02:17] che is it a toughbook [02:17] All I know is that its a USB Touchscreen panel from Fujitsu... on a panasonic laptop. [02:18] hey [02:18] Soludra, which ubuntu are you using? [02:18] Stylus CF-T1 [02:18] i have a quick question [02:18] toughbook what model [02:18] heh [02:18] Experimenting done. After the reboot I discovered that everything is working, though a /etc/init.d/networking restart wasn't enough to do that before the reboot. I also discovered that installing Ubuntu fragged my Debian installation. What is this, the next Windows?? [02:18] _Casey_: Sound Recorder, under Applications | Sound and Video [02:18] for some reason my tite bar has dissappeared [02:18] I'm trying to fire up thunderbird from a terminal in my wife's x session. I get ...cannot open display:... I used to be able to do this fine in Cent and fedora, why not the Ub? [02:18] Dex-Freudii: Gutsy [02:18] how can i get my title bar back [02:18] ? [02:18] Soludra, beryl? compiz? [02:18] Compiz [02:18] garou: Ubuntu has nothing to do with your debian install going bad [02:19] My ekiga suddenly has problems. I can't make outbound calls now. I get "security check failed" errors. It worked last night and no changes have been made [02:19] djtls, titlebars and window decoration for all programs? Compiz or similer crashed.. [02:19] can anyone help me please [02:19] Soludra, it's a compiz setting [02:19] djtls, try alt-f2 and run 'metacity --replace' [02:19] Soludra, change it [02:19] bazhang: The installation is complete ... what do i do now ? [02:19] alright, good evening friends [02:19] ah, k [02:19] djtis you deleted the main panel? put in a new one [02:19] spudraticq yes it is a toughbook CF-T1 [02:19] deva try the video again [02:19] <_Casey_> isnt recording [02:20] Jack_Sparrow: It'd be a _BIG_ coincidence if it "just happened" in synchronicity. [02:20] http://biobug.org/toughbook/ this site is for linux on a toughbook don't know if it will help che [02:20] thanks [02:20] didnt work :( [02:20] I'm sure it has something to do with my wife owning the terminal, but how do I get around this? [02:20] dr_willis i will try it now [02:20] garou comparing ubuntu to ##windows will not get people rushing to help you around here [02:20] should i restart the computer once again? [02:20] garou: If you have a question, please ask, but dont go spreading FUD in here [02:21] deva what file are you trying to play? [02:21] Dex-Freudii: Not sure where to change it, I'm looking with no luck [02:21] it is a .divx file [02:21] My ekiga suddenly has problems. I can't make outbound calls now.

[02:37] Shaun2222: Edit your sources.list [02:38] Odd-rationale: and change/add what [02:38] Shaun2222: then look for the lines ending in universe, and uncomment them. Also, add the word multiverse there at the end of those lines [02:38] Shaun2222: The entries for universe and multiuniverse should already be there, just comment them out. [02:38] my sources.list is small, what i shows you above is all it has...

[02:46] <_Oz_> Yeah, I'm usually reminded every time. :) I will get there eventually. [02:46] _Casey_ wired [02:47] I have a few questions... 1) Is it possible to install as a dual boot with an existing windows? Is a seperate partition needed? [02:47] INOSHU: yes, and yes. [02:47] <_Oz_> Inoshy: you certainly can. [02:47] bazhang: i don't know. my gparted doesn't even start up because i don't have a floppy drive. isn't that silly? [02:47] <_Oz_> a separate partition is necessary. [02:47] INOSHU: yes and yes [02:47] 2) Network printer sharing. Compatible with other windows sytems on the network? [02:47] like, if the printer's on my computer, that is [02:47] umdoistres: Alright, well, build-essential is the package you need to be able to compile. But make sure you actually need to compile, before going through all that work [02:47] <_Casey_> IdleOne: No internet websites work? [02:47] Flannel: what ?.. [02:48] ops, sorry.. [02:48] mikeaz, ive seen fdisk and other tools scan for partitions, and can get hung on the floppy. normally theres a dont scan for foppy option they got. [02:48] _Casey_ nothing but google [02:48] bye all [02:48] umdoistres: What program are you trying to install? [02:48] mikeaz: floppy? this is cd based--you should test on the gparted live cd or the parted magic (cant recall the name) www.distrowatch.com latest you can check there [02:48] <_Casey_> IdleOne: Thats weird, what internet Service are you using? [02:48] Flannel: LiVES [02:48] _Casey_ verizon [02:49] i have to reinstall and i am look for all the packages that I installed not just ever package that is installed is there away to do that? So that when i reinstall i can put the ones i want back.

It doesn't appear to be in the repository, so yeah. Install the "build-essential" package, and you'll be ready to go [02:49] hola como stan [02:49] !clone | LeChacal [02:49] LeChacal: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [02:49] it's a multifunction, scanner + printer +copier.

[03:06] I have alot of issues, i did sudo apt-get install vmware but i got to a screen with their disclaimer and stuff and couldn't get it to go anywhere, so i tried to use this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Server and when i put in the first line to get it, it says it cant find the package, nor the one amd64 user need, i tried to get both === demonspork__ is now known as demonspork [03:07] whats ubuntu's equiv to /etc/inittab [03:07] are you running a 64 bit ver of ubuntu? [03:07] no, a regular 32bit [03:07] When I select My Ubuntu Gutsy install from the boot menu, it says "Failed to mount selected partition" even though the partition mounts fine via IFS in windows and in my Feisty install. I have made no changes to the boot options/loaders since the last successful boot of the system, which was yesterday. [03:07] or the i386? [03:07] ok [03:07] Whenever I log in to my Ubuntu Feisty install, it loads the desktop and promptly the display crashes and I am back at the login screen. It still does this when I use the failsafe login, extra info: running c-f and kiba-dock. When the system first boots, It takes longer to finish loading whatever causes the crash so I have had time to hit Alt+f2 and type "metacity --replace" but even loading a different wm didn't fix the problem. [03:07] i386 [03:08] just go download the tar file from vmware.com [03:08] i have it [03:08] ok what happens when you run sudo vmware-install.pl? [03:09] my xawtv never loads. can someone help me with that? [03:09] i get a command not found [03:09] demonspork: you've probably got an Xorg config problem. Have you tried google? [03:09] now shows a message "no package gtk+-2.0 found", what i do ? [03:10] you first have to go into the dir that you extracted it [03:10] should be vmware-server-distrib [03:10] umdoistres: what are you trying to do? [03:11] jrib: install a program [03:11] i get bash: vmware-install.pl: command not found [03:11] and its in the right dir [03:11] umdoistres: what program -- be specific [03:11] jrib: LiVES [03:12] !compile > umdoistres (read the private message from ubotu) [03:12] james__, It used to boot successfully, but I made a clean gutsy install and then one day I booted into feisty again to try to find a command in the console history and this problem occured. [03:12] do you see the file when you do a ls? [03:12] umdoistres: you need to install the dependencies. Look for a package with "lib" "gtk" "2.0" and "dev" in its name [03:12] might also try sudo ./vmware-install.pl [03:13] i do see the file, ill try the second thing === Johanna is now known as brandy [03:13] jrib: i search in system, or internet ? [03:13] hello [03:13] ok === brandy is now known as Mezclar [03:13] Hey guys. I'm trying to add a workspace to my ubuntu 7.10 install. I added it so that I have 2 rows and 2 columns by right clicking on my workspace switcher and going to preferences. The problems that compiz still only sees two workspaces and so when I turn on rotate cube it's a cube with 2 sides. What am I missing? [03:13] its asking me what dir i want to install the binary files in? [03:13] umdoistres: do you know about APT? === Mezclar is now known as Mezclal [03:14] Can anyone here help me with some problems with the latest live cd? [03:14] jrib: APT ? [03:14] demonspork: so you have gutsy installed alongside feisty? [03:14] yes [03:14] ok hit enter on all the defaults [03:14] and XP, and Vista and used to have a slackware, but I deleted it === Mezclal is now known as Aguardiente === Aguardiente is now known as Johanna [03:15] umdoistres: APT, you use commands like apt-get, or aptitude or GUIs like synaptic or Add/Remove to install things [03:15] !apt > umdoistres (read the private message from ubotu) [03:15] I'm having problems booting into the live cd >> [03:16] is there anything i shoudln't put default on? [03:16] wenda [03:16] jrib: oh, i use apt-get to install a build-essentials [03:16] nope === kirby is now known as Charitwo [03:17] umdoistres: yes, see the page ubotu gave you to search for the terms I said. If you have questions let me know === NDPMB is now known as NDPMacBook [03:17] jrib: ok, thanks [03:17] demonspork: Personally I wouldn't bother with feisty and stay with gutsy but if that's what you want. what exactly did you do before you rebooted into gutsy? [03:18] anyone good with scanners i can get it working but only as root [03:18] demonspork: i.e. did you edit /etc/fstab in any way? [03:18] anyone know a good shoutcasting program for linux? (cant get internet DJ Console to connect) [03:18] Anyone have experience running compiz on a Xpress 200m graphics card? [03:18] leave [03:18] do i just go and register for the serial number? [03:18] so noone can help me with booting into the live cd??? [03:18] Whats up folks [03:19] Katanova Just tell uswhat the problems is and we'll see if we can help [03:19] Katanova: what's your problem? [03:19] Katanova: what kind of problems are you having with it? [03:19] yep [03:19] thats it [03:20] sure, i can get to the selection screen, but once i try to boot it it comes up with a black screen and stops sending messages to mi monitor [03:20] is it the registration on their website for the download? [03:20] i tryed gfx save mode and my intergraded [03:20] Katanova: hif F6 and replace "quiet splash" with "nosplash" [03:20] Katanova: Download the alternative install CD [03:20] nevermind found it [03:20] running ~3500+ 64bit with 3.5gb ddr2 800 and 8600gt [03:20] Some older monitors video cards have problems with recent Xorg's. [03:20] nosplash, ok i'll try that now [03:21] I have Compiz Fusion Installed and runnable, but no effects do anything...I am running a laptop with a Xpress 200m integrated card...anyone want to help [03:21] and I think the amd64 edition's usplash is a bit broken [03:21] I'm looking for a copy of the Aurora-GTK2 engine, Synaptic doesn't seem to have it... [03:21] Katanova: Some systems are having that same trouble, for installing try the alternate install [03:21] the OEM install? [03:21] Wasney_: They dont do anything?? [03:21] katanova the text based install [03:21] Katanova: No not OEM, text based [03:22] badkitty: nothing...its as if they are all dissabled...no cube effects or anything...not even wobbly windows [03:22] lol theres an option for that lol if i'ld seen that i wound have used it [03:22] Wasney_: Is it beryl or compiz fusion, and is it running? [03:22] katanova there are two at least install cds [03:22] install with driver update cd ic [03:23] anyone know of a way to run a webserver just for localhost (and not to the outside world)? [03:23] does the amarok package for ubuntu come with dcop compiled in it? [03:23] badkitty: its coompiz fusion, and it runs...I can open the "Advanced Desktop Effects Setting" in system>pref and everything [03:23] different versions graphical textbased and 64bit [03:23] james__, no, someone on google said that panel transparency was the cause of their problem. They fixed it by logging into KDE and using xnest to log into the damaged gnome session, which worked for some reason, and change their settings. If I run a vncserver from that system and login from another machine, would the panel on the vnc session use the same config as the panel on the local login? [03:23] plus ppc ect... [03:23] Where do i donwload the driver update cd? [03:24] looking for an opinion: I couldn't get my external ntfs usb hard drive working in ubuntu because of a policy issue or something, so I just converted it to fat32. That was a good idea right? No serious drawbacks to a fat32 filesystem over ntfs? [03:24] katanova is your system prebuilt? from a shop you might want to google your pc make and model and gutsy [03:24] na i made it [03:24] Wasney_: But you are sure that compiz is running? I think you can get into the setting manager even if it is not running [03:25] does the amarok package for ubuntu come with dcop compiled in it? [03:25] badkitty: how can I make sure it is ruuning? Is there a command to check? [03:25] Wasney_: There is a compiz channel, and they would really know more things specific to compiz [03:25] eshaase: iptables i would think [03:25] how about the graphics card what have you got [03:25] badkitty: could you tell me how to get in the channel? [03:25] evening all, I am still looking for a way to have a program (evince) open maximized every time it's invoked. As it stands... 100% of the time the window border is a different size and position every time it's opened. [03:25] Wasney_, press alt+f2, then type "compiz --replace" to start compiz [03:25] 8600 GT 256mb [03:25] Wasney_: Off hand Im not sure .. as far as the channel hold on.. i think its #compiz-fusion [03:25] Wasney_: Ill check [03:25] Wasney_, type /join #compiz-fusion in the chat box [03:26] for help with c-f [03:26] putnam- so i should be able to run it now? [03:26] Wasney_: type /join #compiz-fusion [03:26] Trying to associate ctrl-alt-del with gnome-system-monitor.. I tried the commands listed online but it isn't working.. any other way to change it? [03:26] thanks badkitty and demon_spork...I will head over there and see what I can do :D [03:26] yeah well i think going for the alternate install disk will be the easiest option [03:26] demon_spork: Haha beat me [03:26] lol [03:27] lol i downloaded the cd... so all i got is 64-bit [03:27] where to download the other install disk? [03:27] your not running a seagate drive 40 or 20 gig [03:27] Katanova: You might want to download the 32 bit version of gutsy [03:27] Katanova: i think you want x86 version [03:27] the same page katanova [03:27] Katanova: Agree with Jangari [03:27] or whatever it's called [03:27] sure ok, i'll try 32bit [03:27] Katanova: TRUST me . its a good idea [03:27] ok ty then [03:28] badkitty: is it called x86? or i86 or something like that? [03:28] does the amarok package for ubuntu come with dcop compiled in it? [03:28] * nickrud wonders why anyone would trust a bad kitty [03:28] * Jangari grins sheepishly [03:28] Jangari: Yeah x86 [03:28] well i'll try that now, cya [03:28] evening all, I am still looking for a way to have a program (evince) open maximized every time it's invoked. As it stands... 100% of the time the window border is a different size and position every time it's opened. === xJPM100x is now known as _6StringKng_ [03:29] mon^rch: that'd be good, what would also be good is it you could specify 'open in desktop ...' [03:29] I can play WMV video just fine but the audio does not play. I have VLC installed but still no audio. I'm sure there is an answer in the forums but I can't seem to find it... does anybody have a thought? [03:29] i had the problem recently of windows opening too high, with the toolbars above the limit of the screen, but that appears to have sorted itself out [03:30] bcardarella: Do you have the media codecs installed? [03:30] Jangari: "open in desktop"? [03:31] bcardarella: I don't know how to troubleshoot sound, but I would check to make sure you have the codecs downloaded [03:31] no mon^rch, i mean specifically 'open in workspace 3' (not desktop) [03:31] badkitty: I tried to install w32codecs but those don't exist in repo anymore... is there another package? (other than what attempts to install automatically) [03:31] just recently, my scroll wheel will change my virtual desktop when the mouse is over the desktop. is there any way to disable this? i'm running compiz-fusion and AWN, if that helps [03:31] bcardarella: You have to add the medibuntu repo [03:31] when i'm using multiple workspaces, how do i make my application buttons in the taskbar appear on all workspaces? [03:31] suddenly my ntfs partitions are not being mounted automatically on startup, and even if i mount them manually from the command line, they don't appear in the GUI [03:31] badkitty: ah, okay. I'll look for that [03:31] badkitty: thanks [03:31] hang on, aren't the restricted plugins included in the normal repos? [03:31] MFen: #compiz-fusion has the best compiz help [03:31] Can someone tlate this for me? "I had trouble mounting this too, but it turns out it is actually a binary installer (not an image). just make it executable (chmod 744 or something) and run the bin." [03:31] bcardarella: I would install ubuntu-restricted-extras as well [03:32] and don't they include the windows codecs? [03:32] i have compiz turned off, i'm not talking about compiz [03:32] yeah,t that's the one, restricted extras [03:32] Jangari: no [03:32] MFen: sorry, wrong guy [03:32] hey nickrud [03:32] nickrud: no worries. [03:32] chaosrl: try #compiz-fusion , they know best about compiz [03:32] BagelMaster [03:32] badkitty: ah, you finally noticed. I made fun of you earlier ;) [03:32] Witepa [03:33] nickrud: Oh yah? I didn't notice [03:33] MFen: i think i had that issue a while ago, and i think it is to do with compiz, or, the included 'desktop effects' [03:33] nickrud: what did u say [03:33] badkitty: I'm think I already have that repo [03:33] hmm, okay... where do I change the default application for opening different filetypes? [03:33] Newbie question, is there anything particular I need to do to get smbmount to work beyond just sudo apt-get install smbfs? [03:33] MFen: right click the dots next to the task bar, preferences [03:34] mon^rch: system > prefs > preferred applications [03:34] nickrud: so awesome are you. [03:34] badkitty: something along the lines of 'who'd trust a bad kitty' when you said trust me :) [03:34] thanks! [03:34] I am trying to mount a buffalo terastation, and its not working, even though I can use smbclient -L and see it. [03:34] bcardarella: Nah, if you did it would have installed the codecs .. unless you are putting it in wrong or dont have the key [03:34] nickrud: haha [03:34] Ok, quick question. I'm trying to switch to ubuntu from windows for the first time. Every time I try to "check disk for errors" or "intall or start ubuntu", my monitor loses signal and nothing is displayed. I'm using an 8800gt with two dvi ports. Any ideas how to get this installed? [03:34] weak, I know but I'm known for poor humor [03:34] mon^rch nano /usr/share/evince/evince-properties.glade [03:35] While I see nothing I can hear the CD spinning for a few minutes on error check [03:35] nickrud: Great, now that guy is going to stick with his 64 bit disc and that makes more work for the rest of us lol [03:35] oh, sorry MFen, i evidently thought you were referring to something else [03:35] Can someone translate* this for me? "I had trouble mounting this too, but it turns out it is actually a binary installer (not an image). just make it executable (chmod 744 or something) and run the bin." [03:35] i just succesfully installed hardy on my macbook pro. if anyone wants to know how to fix their macbook pro, ask me now while the pain is still fresh in my memory [03:35] blackest: tyvm! [03:35] Jangari: np. [03:35] badkitty: once he's set up for firefox and media, everything else is peachy keen [03:35] MFen: the only way to fix an apple machine is to get a refund [03:35] nickrud: Is that the saying? .. I thought it was peachy king [03:36] MFen: the only way to fix an apple machine is to get a refund [03:36] WIN! [03:36] Jangari: goodness no. the hardware is lovely [03:36] BagelMaster: chmod u+x /path/to/binaryinstaller && /path/to/binaryinstaller [03:36] badkitty: no good, still no audio.. oh well [03:36] i just don't like the OS much [03:36] mm, okay then [03:36] Nickrud, thank you [03:36] I like my hardware better then apple stuff :) [03:36] badkitty: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=peachy+keen [03:36] bcardarella: You said it works for other media? The audio [03:37] except for apple's contempt for openness of hardware [03:37] badkitty: yeah, I can play mp3 [03:37] 'must be apple bits-and-pieces' [03:37] jrib: show that the aplication apt can be found in the packages "sun java6 jdk".. what i do ? [03:37] nickrud: Well Ill be a monkeys uncle.. wait lemme see if thats right [03:37] bcardarella: Were you able to install the w32codecs? [03:37] astyler: get the alternate text install cd, your card needs drivers that aren't on the live cd [03:38] badkitty: yeap [03:38] where can I get a better sources.list? [03:38] is it possible to have two different two different keymaps on at the same time - say for example, i've got a laptop with a regular US qwerty keyboard, and I've hooked up an Apple keyboard ('Apple' keymap)? [03:38] I dont remember what ubuntu-restricted0extras has in it.. did you try that? [03:38] !gutsysources | tyler_d [03:38] tyler_d: gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates). [03:38] Nickrud: All I get is "bash: /home/dan/MAPLESOFT.Maple.v11.0.Linux-AGAiN: is a directory" [03:39] BagelMaster: did you do some kind of extraction on the thing you downloaded? [03:39] badkitty: yeah, I installed that package. Earlier I thought you were referring to the restricted repo... [03:39] Nope, it came in the separate 5mb pieces PIECE.r1, PIECE.r2, PIECE.r3... [03:39] and so on [03:39] bcardarella: hmmm.. perhaps its the media itself? [03:40] BagelMaster: oh, why oh why would it come in pieces that small? [03:40] what is the opposite command of tail -n 50 [03:40] blackest: pardon me, but in that particular file do I change GTK_WIN_POS_NONE to GTK_WIN_POS_MAX (or something) [03:40] err tail n -50 [03:40] tators: head -n 50 [03:40] tators: head -n 50 [03:40] u sure? [03:40] k thx [03:40] badkitty: maybe. It's just a video from IGN that I wanted to watch. [03:40] Nickrud: No clue, in Windoze I could just make it into an .iso and mount/burn, but I don't know how to in Linux [03:41] nickrud: thanks, i found what i was looking for in there :P (belated answer xD) [03:41] BagelMaster: There is a great program to mount images [03:41] BagelMaster: I have no clue about the format it comes in. [03:41] nickrud: thanks! [03:41] BagelMaster: Look into gmount-iso [03:41] i'll give that a try [03:41] Badkitty: I first need to compile the pieces into an image to mount [03:42] BagelMaster: There are also nautilus scripts you can use to do this also.. although I haven't had luck with that one yet.. [03:42] BagelMaster: Part files? [03:42] Yes [03:42] Badkitty :^ [03:42] well 32 bit showed the loading screen at least :p [03:42] BagelMaster: Tried googleing it? [03:42] I tried googleing your mom? [03:42] Katanova: You have a quick connection dont you [03:42] BagelMaster: is there not an executable to run in that directory? [03:43] lol na, i got the disk of mi mate [03:43] Katanova: oh cool [03:43] jrib: show that the aplication apt can be found in the packages "sun java6 jdk".. what i do ? [03:43] Frank23 Badkitty: File extensions are all .rXX, one .rar, one .nfo file [03:43] well 32 bit showed the loading screen at least :p [03:43] but it gets to local boot and then like dose nothing >> [03:43] past tense? did something else go wrong? [03:43] ah [03:44] BagelMaster: install unrar-nonfree package and run unrar x file.rar [03:44] lol so any ideas :p [03:44] BagelMaster: Right I see.. Yah it should be able to be run then and it should self compile.. Atleast thats how it works in winblows [03:44] Katanova: hit the enter key, do you see a login? [03:44] no [03:44] Katanova: alt-f2 , do you see a login? [03:44] i hit enter and it come up with a new line :p [03:44] BagelMaster: What did you say the other files were? You said something about a binary?? [03:45] i press F2 and it come up with some code for f2, but didnt try alt f2 [03:45] should i go try alt f2 now? [03:45] Badkitty: That was just some vague instructions on the original place of download [03:45] Katanova: yes, if you can see a login then you are installed but your video is not set up right for gui [03:45] is there a trivial dns server for a small home network? I'd rather not run bind if I don't have to. [03:45] BagelMaster: sorry the packege is just unrar [03:45] BagelMaster: I haven't used parted rar files in linux but in windows you just start the first .rar and all the parts self extract and make on big file [03:45] quick question what package do I need to install VNC in ubuntu server, I dont want a gui from the console But I wana set it up so I can VNC into the server and get a desktop (for serving the net at work) [03:46] serfing the net that is [03:46] well then ok. brb :) [03:46] Frank23 Badkitty: Ahh, I unrar'd the one .rar file [03:46] When I select My Ubuntu Gutsy install from the boot menu, it says "Failed to mount selected partition" even though the partition mounts fine via IFS in windows and in my Feisty install. I have made no changes to the boot options/loaders since the last successful boot of the system, which was yesterday. [03:46] BagelMaster: Did that work 4 u [03:46] Frank23 Badkitty: And got a linuxinstaller.bin [03:46] kaoticsnow: ubuntu comes pre-built with a vnc viewes [03:46] viewer [03:46] BagelMaster: Ok so lets say you run the .bin file? [03:47] BagelMaster: Or I think you can also click on the icon to run it too from nautilus? === ibara2x is now known as ibara [03:47] Badkitty: Nautilus? [03:47] surfing the net via vnc? how horrible [03:48] BagelMaster: nautilus is the file browser [03:48] Jangari Badkitty: Oh, wow, never knew that! [03:48] Badkitty: I'm pretty sure it's compiling the parts [03:48] BagelMaster: The file browser.. from what ive gathered thats what it is [03:48] could someone please tell me how the heck i can ping google.com from 7.10, but not browse to it in firefox? [03:48] BagelMaster: Great [03:48] i didn't either until a little while ago [03:49] y_o_u: Hmm.. running any proxies? [03:49] Badkitty: Using a PIII doesn't mean it's going to work fat thought :/ [03:49] but be able to browse to it in a windows 2000 vm running in 7.10? while having ipv6 turned off? [03:49] I kept asking if there was a command to 'open' the working directory in a filebrowser, turns out it's just "nautilus /directory" [03:49] badkitty: no proxies, but good thought [03:49] just wierd stuff [03:49] Badkitty: Argh, it tried to open it in gedit [03:50] Jangari: thanks [03:50] found it, kaoticsnow? [03:50] y_o_u: Hmmm its got to be a setting in firefox... This situation happened to me in windows (imagine that) I could ping a site, but not find it in the browser. WHen I returned to default settings everything worked [03:50] according to the book i'm reading, it says that if u use dh -h . in a directory it will tell u the partition. however, with the directory /sys it shows the partition as /sys. However that does not exits, can someone explain why it shows that. [03:50] y_o_u: Maybe you can try reset to defaul your settings [03:50] y_o_u: are you using bridged networking in the vm, so it provides it's own dns? check /etc/resolv.conf in linux, that's usually the culprit for your symtoms [03:51] whats that message when i try to search a apt ? "the aplication apt can be foun in this packages sun java-jdk" something like this.. [03:51] y_o_u: this is a vm? [03:51] nickrud: i thought the same, unfortunately, its correct (and its resolving great at the cli) [03:51] roshan: if you type "mount" you'll see all sorts of non-physical partitions that are mounted. Theyre various things used by the OS (ones a ramdisk for the kernel, etc) [03:51] umdoistres: are you translating the error message? Where are you seeing it? [03:52] badkitty: default settings in firefox you mean? and its a win2k vmware image, running in 7.10, from disk [03:52] roshan: more properly, they're filesystems [03:53] Any fixes yet for that exploit? I read somewhere that the fix is already in the live source trees for hardy [03:53] What's the channel for Evolution? won't be needed if anyone here can tell me how to forward a message and actually have it include the original attachment. [03:53] y_o_u: Yeah that is what I meant.. just a long shot from things Ive seen in windz [03:53] flannel: ah, thx, it did not know that non-physical partitions were called file systems. greatly appreciate it [03:53] Johnny_5 is alive [03:53] #evolution ? [03:53] probably not [03:53] in fact i doubt it has its own chan [03:53] use thunderbird instead [03:53] Scunizi: irc.gnome.org , #evolution I think [03:53] Jangari, it is but I forgot which server.. not freenode. [03:53] ah [03:54] nickrud, thanks.. I forgot the server.. [03:54] badkitty: worth a shot, thanks for the go [03:54] does anyone know how to get my laptop switching off the speakers when headphones are plugged in? [03:55] umdoistres: what are you doing when you see that error? [03:55] Jangari, do you have a different set of headphones you could try? [03:55] roshan: no the filesystems are what's mounted. either virtual ones or physical ones (that are on a partition) [03:55] i do, hold on, but i doubt it's the headphones, as the same headphones worked well under windows, [03:56] Jangari: try playing the the switches in the sound mixer [03:56] nickrud: oh.. i forget, but thanks for the atention.. [03:56] Jangari: Some laptops dont use a physical switch from the pin when the headphones go in to kill the speakers they do it with software.. not sure how to fix it though [03:56] Jangari: there might be a switch that disables speakers when headphones are plugged in [03:57] i think it's software, since the same laptop under windows used to disable the speakers like i wanted [03:58] roshan: ah, tyvm frank. that clears up a lot. [03:58] arghh [03:58] but there ain't nothing in prefs > sound [03:58] frank: ah, tvm frank. that clears up a lot [03:58] Jangari: I have the same problem... still haven't figured out a fix for it [03:58] mm [03:58] Jangari: did you look in the sound mixer app? the one with the different channels (Master, PCM...)

[03:59] Jangari, you are probably correct, if it works under windows then it should work under linux. I've had headphones in the past that didn't work properly and the sound would play through both the headphones and speakers. [03:59] hp... um....

Or just use alsamixer in the terminal directly [04:01] sorry Jack_Sparrow, i'll be good in future [04:01] yea I have Server installed no GUI by defalut all command line, [04:01] can anyone point me in the right direction to set up a fully encrypted File System under Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon [04:01] got little more progress :D [04:01] thanks [04:01] that isn't such a PITA [04:01] :( [04:02] does anyone know where I can find a tor/privoxy/ff/gaim/thunderbird/xchat/azureus guide for 7.10? !tor only gives for 6.10 and 7.04 [04:02] Jangari: one thing I haven't tried yet that I hope to try... is to run a Ubuntu 8.04 alpha LiveCD to see if sound works on it [04:02] not getting a decent answer... and ubuntu folks tend to be smart- plus still all started around the evolution of pidgin: is yahoo only allowed to talk to yahoo? (IM's), running multiple machines, multiple clients and it appears AIM users can't communicate with known yahoo users. The yahoo users say I'm offline, and I say the yahoo users are offline.. is there some incompatibility issue going on?

[04:03] 8600 GT [04:03] ASUS [04:04] Meshezabeel: I'll try that [04:04] Hammer89, Jangari but try alsamixer and see if it works first [04:04] Katanova: a sec, I want to check someting [04:04] ok :) [04:04] CaptainMorgan; from my understanding you can't cross talk IM's .. pidgin allows you to have only 1 application that handles them all. that doesn't mean if you have yahoo you can talk to someone on aim via a yahoo account [04:04] where is a good place to go for support for wifi-radar ...

[04:11] Jangari: restart is easier. unloading all the alsa related modules is tiresome. [04:11] bye all [04:11] does the amarok package for ubuntu come with dcop compiled in it?

I am just wondering cuase a couple other distros (Sayabon, Mint) dont seem to like it and I don't want to waste a CD. [04:14] Hi. Is there a clean way to temporarily switch the system compiler to gcc 3.4, then switch it back after a compile is done? [04:14] Keiyentai: not properly. You'll want to wait for hardy [04:14] bastid_raZor, that's confusing, because Trillian supposedly can handle this [04:14] Keiyentai: ATI *anything* is a crapshoot on Linux [04:14] urg. [04:14] Cause I want to dual boot. [04:14] i have a full hard drive and been looking for days to find out why it is full [04:14] Keiyentai: yeah. *thanks* ATI. [04:14] at least it could bastid_raZor at one point it did, I'm 110% sure of it [04:14] * nickrud runs ati, and agrees, reluctantly [04:15] I don't care if I can't have Beryl I just want to be able to boot it.

[04:16] Keiyentai, what happened when you booted with those other systems? [04:16] Know what I mean? [04:16] Keiyentai: AFAIK you could even use the horrendous VESA driver [04:16] um, Keiyentai how new is that card? [04:16] With Sayabon it wont start up X and complains about the Driver. IN Mint..for some reason it thinks my CPU is a Centrino and then Fatal Errors [04:17] My sources.list appears to be broken.

You have to repeat it then [04:17] Keiyentai: do you already own this card? [04:17] yes I do [04:17] munh. [04:17] I am in Windows right now [04:17] wow, I've never even heard of VisonTek!

[04:19] ok, thanks bastid_raZor [04:19] Pretty sure there is a dvd version [04:19] Keiyentai: there is a dvd edition, it's trickier to find though [04:19] Keiyentai: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/7.10/release/ [04:20] the card is about 6 or so months at least [04:20] compwiz18: make that 7 or 8 months, that's how old the gutsy driver is [04:20] Keiyentai: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/7.10/release/ubuntu-7.10-dvd-i386.iso.torrent [04:20] I'll know next time i restart I guess, otherwise, that page that Hammer89 suggested looks like it has a fix [04:21] Hello, I am running 7.10 and after the latest kernel update, I can't access my tty consoles anymore.

[04:48] its not that hard badkitty you just have to reinstall grub is all [04:48] badkitty, i can't find enough space now [04:48] Rubin: Oh yah. hmm [04:48] so noone can help with the 8600 GT problem :( [04:48] Rubin, yes, it failed [04:49] threefcata, iv never seen linux do anything to a disk that make xp refuse to install [04:49] threefcata: You gotta make sure you have enough space for xp [04:49] threefcata, maybe somethin else is goin on? [04:49] yeah. is there enough free space? [04:49] what exactly does it say? [04:49] <_coredump_> anyone here uses the internet dj console with gutsy 7.10? [04:49] Rubin, yeah, i guess the fact that i'm running the installation program from harddisk has something to do about it.. === visi is now known as kokom [04:50] i made the NTFS where XP is going to be bootable and boot from there.. [04:50] then ran winnt32.exe.. [04:50] Anyone here running gutsy on a thinkpad t43p? [04:50] but it never get through the step where it is writing to MBR [04:51] so it copys all the files but not writes the MBR? [04:51] threefcata, ohhh [04:51] threefcata: why not a disk install? [04:51] threefcata: How big was the NTFS where XP is going to be? [04:51] threefcata, theres issues with linux making ntfs partitions. dont do that. just free up space and leave it unformatted [04:51] i maybe could like make the MBR with something else [04:51] puff, 10g === co_kenter_fs is now known as co_pgn [04:52] Rubin, so use XP to make a ntfs out from free space? [04:52] threefcata, yep [04:52] threefcata, or you can create the partition, but dont put a filesystem on it [04:52] Katanova: change stuff up to suit your box: http://linux.hfds.com/files/n-i.txt [04:52] dward526, i don't have a disk in hand, and i did the same last time with another laptop, i guess it won't be hard.. [04:52] threefcata, but best to let xp do the whole thing its way [04:52] threefcata: Be advised, from what I'm told, that's just barely big enough. Also, winxp doesn't have an explicit swap partition, so you'll have to watch and make sure you always have at least 1gb free in the XP partition. [04:52] Rubin, where can I find local.conf? [04:52] nomopofomo, /etc/gdm [04:53] puff, ok i will take note of that [04:53] jetscremer: lol how :p [04:54] do i edit a file on the disk or something? [04:54] threefcata: Rubin is right, do not create an ntfs partion with linux, let xp do that === kandinsk1 is now known as kandinski [04:54] hello people i'm running linux ubuntu 7.10 an i wants to install unrealircd can somebody help me how to install it? the irc server?

[04:55] Rubin, dward526 alright, thx guys, maybe getting a XP disk is the best solution [04:55] geekworx: I think unreal has its own support network on irc.unrealircd.org. Since it's not part of ubuntu, we can't support it [04:55] ok [04:55] hi what do i type to get old mouse working on xorg? [04:55] geekworx, check the unreal website for their irc channel maybe. or try searchirc.com [04:55] Previously i typed something like dev/ttyS0 [04:55] k [04:55] thx [04:55] does anyone know the exact command?

[04:56] I setup my wireless connection on this laptop (Compaq c751, Atheros AR5007) using instructions I found for using madwifi.....I can get around on my local network, but am unable to get out. Everytime I try to modify the nameserver, it defaults back to the original. Any ideas? [04:56] inxorg .conf [04:56] Rubin: in xorg [04:57] Rubin The configuration file [04:57] cdubya, theres a setting for dhcpcd (in the conf file) to disable its overwriting of resolv.conf [04:57] !madwifi [04:57] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:57] i am having a problem with updating my repositories. - when it gets to security, it fails, says repository is outdated [04:57] neopsyche, xorg.conf?

[04:58] olskolirc, check your repositories [04:58] what am i supposed to look for Rubin [04:58] they are still there [04:58] olskolirc, which ubuntu are you running [04:58] olskolirc, if you can get around on the commandline, look in /etc/apt/sources.list for a line or two with the wrong distribution name [04:58] What's the "super" button on a thinkpad keyboard? [04:58] Gutsy [04:58] im running gos and i cant get bcm43xx to install can someone help me out? [04:58] ok [04:58] Can someone tell me - in separate x screen setup (nvidia-settings) can I also bind a separate keyboard and mouse to each session? [04:59] i think mine says thinkpad, but no idea anyway [04:59] puff, i think you have to configure super on any modern keyboard [04:59] puff, ie, make it right alt or something [04:59] puff, should be the windows key [04:59] so how to boot into the live disk with an 8600GT?

[05:06] Rubin, it always resets to 1280x768......... [05:06] nomopofomo, thats odd. try editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf directly [05:06] nomopofomo, tbh i havnt really used the gui to do it [05:07] Rubin, in fact, I replaced the entire contents of the conf file with the contents of a file from 4 days ago when things were working fine. [05:07] nomopofomo: Please check the v/h refresh rates on your monitor... If they are wrong it will drop to the first res and v/h that work [05:07] i guess noone can help with the 8600GT problem them :p oh well [05:07] nomopofomo, yeah, what Jack_Sparrow said.

[05:08] nomopofomo: Certainly could be, but check the other two rates as well horizsync and vert refresh [05:08] you don't even have the card installed?

[05:09] Jack_Sparrow, where can I learn more about how to properly configure the conf file? [05:09] nop, [05:09] Katanova, try the alternate cd [05:09] actually, yes you can, but it's tricky. use the text installer [05:09] !training [05:09] A desktop course manual for Ubuntu 7.10 can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training [05:09] 'alternate cd' [05:09] i'm running the 8600gt in vista right now... [05:09] where to download the alternate cd? [05:09] what makes you think its the video cards fault? [05:09] i'm running the 6600gt in debian myself [05:10] Hey are there bandwidth monitor tools for kubuntu? i just wana keep track of what i dl/ul each month, i need it pretty fast though :S c'mon there must be SOMETHING! [05:10] i know it's the card, and not the cards fault [05:10] no i think drivers... [05:10] not supported [05:10] where can i download this other cd? [05:10] you can get the livecd to boot though, fyi [05:10] !alternate cd [05:10] The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode installation CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD. It can also be used as an upgrade CD. - See also !minimal [05:10] gah [05:10] how helpful [05:10] Katanova: f6 at start or install and try a couple of hese before the -- xmodule=vesa, vga=normal, xdrvr=vesa, [05:10] lol good try [05:11] ok i will try that [05:11] Jack_Sparrow: setting xvrefresh and xhrefresh also helps.... and vga=normal sometimes too [05:11] oh you said that one [05:11] Katanova: Your card is specifically noted as not supported in the nvidia wiki page [05:11] Is there any way to get a replacement power supply? [05:12] sorry, wrong channel [05:12] so your saying there is noway for it to work?

[05:12] Katanova: ^^ [05:13] does somebody know what temp my cpu/mobo should run at since.... 47C for cpu and 42C for mobo seems way to high [05:13] ssh right? [05:13] So i needa download the other disk then manualy install the drivers? [05:13] Katanova: might be easier just to use the other cd [05:13] basically [05:13] Katanova: HAve you READ the wiki page for nvidia [05:13] heh [05:13] putnum, for the graphics you need VNC with or without putty [05:13] obvious answer [05:13] Hey guys, I ordered a Dell Inspiron notebook last night with Ubuntu preinstalled on it. What is going to be the easiest way to transfer everything from my current notebook to the new one? [05:13] the problem is, i cant find these other disks :p [05:13] ok [05:13] !minimal [05:13] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [05:13] there [05:14] ty [05:14] I lost the game [05:14] jumbers, best thing i can tell you is to buy 300 gig ide disk, and an external usb enclosure. you can use it to transfer your files AND as a backup in case something happens. [05:14] is 47C to high for my cpu temp? and 42C for my mobo? [05:14] (when just idle) [05:14] jumbers, failing that, you can transfer your files to the new pc using scp [05:14] Katanova: i thought you had ubuntu installed and just wanted to get the card to work... my link was for that [05:14] jumbers, or winscp etc [05:15] ok ic now ty :D [05:15] Katanova: use it after :) [05:15] Rubin: What folders should I be backing up then?

[06:40] :( [06:40] i am in hardy right now...but gutsy did it to, and feisty didnt? [06:40] canthony, I do not use readahead and compiz starts as the window manager automatically without the replacingness... [06:41] Yes Neeku [06:41] canthony: on one of the computers I have here, it does the flicker thing, on another, it doesn't [06:41] compwiz18, will try your suggestions too but let me see what this one does [06:41] hmmm [06:41] xavieran: how can i get access to this software, dia? [06:41] Neeku, Just a second... [06:41] * xavieran is searching google [06:41] the readahead makes a huge difference === zanimimotus is now known as animimotus [06:41] canthony: the only different I know of is that one is faster then the other... [06:41] xavieran: ok, thanks :) [06:41] cut my login time in half [06:43] xavieran: i got it from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/download.pl?arch=i386&file=pool%2Fmain%2Fd%2Fdia%2Fdia-gnome_0.96.1-0ubuntu1_i386.deb&md5sum=3fbc799f7db88df83d85c8223c4ad7ab&arch=i386&type=main [06:43] litius, ok it was installed and i ran gome-alsamixer now what [06:43] xavieran: but while installing i recieve an error [06:43] I get it! [06:43] Neeku: go back to that website and download dia-common, and install it first [06:43] litius, says im using a Realtek card, i recall seeing an Intel HDA audio device [06:43] Neeku, yes do what compwiz18 said [06:44] Can you search for dia in synaptic and install it from there? [06:44] Neeku, Can you search for dia in synaptic and install it from there? [06:45] does anyone get a flicker or two between usplash and gdm?? its looks like change from x to a tty... like my graphics card is having issues. again no problems with feisty [06:45] compwiz18: xavieran: thanks, i'm downloading the package... [06:45] xavieran: yes i tried chaniging the server [06:45] canthony: all my computers do that [06:45] What's a good program to convert audio file formats? [06:45] xavieran: but it still has some errors [06:45] me too [06:45] haha and it anoyying [06:45] Neeku, So you can't download anything from Synaptic either? [06:45] I hate it too [06:45] canthony: supposedly in Hardy they're going to work on it [06:46] im just trying to put a nice support package together so i can install to peoples boxes with all kids of presets and custom installations [06:46] support documents and remote desktop via freenx [06:46] xavieran: how sould i do that? [06:46] i need it all ready for hardy [06:46] canthony: good idea if you do a lot of installing [06:47] Neeku: Synaptic -> Settings -> Repositories -> Download from... | change that and see if you can download then. [06:47] yeah, i plan on downloading the entire hardy repo to a external hd so i can update ppl's boxes in like 2 minutes [06:47] Neeku, Go to System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager and then click Search...search for dia [06:47] compwiz18: i did the same thing, but it doesn't work [06:47] canthony: might be pretty big :) [06:48] Neeku: if I'm talking to you now, then you should be able to access some type of repository server somewhere... [06:48] anyone have any guesses? how can i make my soundcard default to Intel HDA instead of Realtek [06:48] never kno if ill have an active connection :) , plus i dont want to wait at clients houses for a 200mb update on 512kb line [06:48] compwiz18: but how? [06:48] Is there any way to update all computers to hardy without having to download the updates each time? [06:48] yeah [06:48] you can create a local repo [06:48] xavieran: you can setup an update server/cache thingy and use that [06:48] compwiz18: see the error: Could not download all repository indexes [06:48] like what i said with the external hd [06:48] yeah [06:49] doesnt have to have EVERY package [06:49] Neeku: that's ok, see if you can install dia anyway [06:49] how do I find out what is causing GDM to restart every time I log in? [06:49] canthony, I once had to update gutsy with about 300mb with a 10 k connection...and it broke at the end of it! [06:49] ugh [06:49] dirty [06:49] Yep [06:49] hello is anyone with familiar with an ltsp standalone setup? [06:50] I was pretty P***ed off... [06:50] is the official ubuntu site down? [06:50] SaadS|AboutUs, thinking.. [06:50] are you in the "audio" group? [06:50] Neeku, Have you tried synaptic yet? [06:51] brainstorming [06:51] * SaadS|AboutUs checking [06:51] do "groups" [06:51] SaadS|AboutUs, if not do sudo usermod -aG audio [06:51] SaadS|AboutUs, if not do sudo usermod -aG audio username [06:51] xavieran: yes, i did, it can't connect well! [06:51] Neeku, How are you downloading dia? [06:51] Neeku, From Firefox? [06:52] i probly dont need the whole repo [06:52] also check what groups vlc is in [06:52] i'm downloading it manual now, yes from fx [06:52] i am having an issue with NetworkManager. in order to use irc at my university, I have to ssh into a shell account and connect through that tunnel, after this has been running for a while, my processor hits about 80% and even when i close the connection the processor usage stays high is there a way i can restart the network manager? [06:52] Neeku, Ok... [06:52] but i dont know how else to get the packages i need for any arbitrary install [06:52] uh! at last! [06:52] btw, can you play several things with a different player, not VLC? [06:52] xavieran: compwiz18: thanks a lot :) [06:52] like mplayer, etc.. [06:52] Neeku, Did it install? [06:53] somebody. please help me. i can't copy the file from my cd rom or other read only media. can u tell me how to fix it? [06:53] how do I find out what is causing GDM to restart every time I log in? [06:53] adisini elaborate a bit [06:53] anyone particularly familiar with libata and issues with serverworks? [06:53] adisini: can you see files on the cdrom at all? [06:53] zubuntu, Try doing sudo killall nm-applet [06:54] I *had* Redhat Enterprise running somewhat smoothly [06:54] demon_spork how far does it get before gdm starts again [06:54] I can't even get ubuntu Gutsy to boot the kernel [06:54] sexcopter: yup [06:54] shows the desktop, loads kiba dock, the icons, panel and bam, restart, canthony [06:54] I am running from the live CD, and I wish to some how backup my system. I have three partitions, /boot, /, and /home. I would like to bundle away the / partition so that in case of failure to restore the system I would have to but reformat my / partition and restore the backup. According to the live CD's add/remove... Archive manager is installed but I cannot seem to find it. Any suggestions? [06:54] Or gksu gnome-system-monitor and try to find nm-applet [06:54] wow [06:54] Or network-manager... [06:54] adisini: sounds odd, so what's stopping you? do you get an error message? [06:54] wyrmul: hit alt+f2 and type file-roller in the box [06:55] litius, i use Totem by default and tried out vlc, that command didnt help. Not that i want to listen to two streams at the same time, but i need this to have skype working in the background while im playing music. [06:55] adisini can you cp files from terminal [06:55] wyrmul, Applications>Accessories>Archive Manager [06:55] xavieran: yes [06:55] ah, and here I was trying "fileroller" Many thanks sirrah! [06:55] xavieran: but there's a problem [06:55] Neeku, Awesome! [06:55] How would I go about downloading the mp3 encoder? And is there a better audio converter than Sound Converter? [06:55] xavieran: yeah :) [06:55] Neeku, Yeah? [06:55] sexcopter & canthony: wait a minute [06:56] canthony, do you have any ideas? [06:56] SaadS|AboutUs, ok.. but can you play TWO totem sessions? [06:56] or two VLC sessions [06:56] at the same time? [06:56] two vlc = yes [06:56] hmm demon one sec [06:56] compwiz18: thanks for your help, xfce works great === ubuntu is now known as drexen [06:56] don't ever highlight a whole folder of music and click "play with vlc" [06:56] vicsaurus: glad to hear it :) [06:57] becuase it doesn't add to a playlist like most media players [06:57] xavieran: in MS Visio or Rational Rose, while drawing the connections, if two lines are pasing each other, it automatically reorders the lines so that they don't overlap on each other, doesn't dia do this? === drexen is now known as one4one [06:57] it just upens a vlc for each one [06:57] anyone know how to troubleshoot libata / IDE drivers? [06:57] xavieran: actually it's not doing it, i mean is there a way to do such a thing? === one4one is now known as SHMO [06:57] xavieran, no dice, applet is gone (how do i get it back?) and top still says NetworkManager is, well now it is up to 95% [06:57] is there no plugin for that vlc directory? [06:57] Neeku, I am sorry...I don't use dia or MS Visio or the like... [06:57] they worked fine under redhat enterprise with a 2.4 kernel [06:57] demon_spork, that was to a question to "SaadS|AboutUs" ;) [06:57] but I glad you can ;) [06:57] i used to have a custom command to open directory with xmms [06:57] litius, how can i run two sessions of totem? [06:57] xavieran: uhum... thanks a lot anyway. :) [06:58] zubuntu, Kill NetworkManager [06:58] anyone know if i can get multiple monitors running on hoary hedgehog? [06:58] with Gutsy and 2.6.22... I get ata2: soft resetting port [06:58] is there anyone who has used Dia? [06:58] ok [06:58] Neeku, Glad I could help! :) [06:58] Neeku, I've used dia a lot [06:58] Neeku, Try the forums... [06:58] totem my.mp3 & [Enter] [06:58] totem your.mp3 & [Enter] [06:58] zubuntu, killall networkmanager... [06:58] or just fire up two different shells [06:58] zubuntu: also, killall nm-applet [06:58] and run totem in both [06:59] zubuntu, to get it back do killall gnome-panel [06:59] canthony, you can probably do it at a command, but it can be done from within vlc, I tried highlighting and playing in vlc once, and I almost froze my computer because I had so many vlc copies open, lol [06:59] ata2.00: exception Emask 0x0 Sact 0x0 Serr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen [06:59] hha [06:59] oh i see that hoary hedgehog is unsupported [06:59] blundar: while drawing a diagram (use-case diagram for example), how can i use the connectors in a way that they don't overlap eachother? (in MS visio it used to reorder them automatically to avoid this) [06:59] anyone know where to go to troubleshoot this ata issue? [06:59] disregard last question [06:59] SHMO: you may wish to upgrade ;) [06:59] Neeku: I don't know [06:59] but i am having trouble downloading the new ubuntu [06:59] sexcopter & canthony: wupz. i don't know why but now i can copy the file. anyway, thanks for help me :) [07:00] SHMO: are you trying to download the CD? [07:00] demon im not really sure how to look at the currect processes, i like bootchart becasue it visually shows you what was running [07:00] i start downloading it but it stops about 96% way through [07:00] De do do do! De da da da! [07:00] adisini: lol, ok, you're welcome :) [07:00] yes [07:00] nope, it either plays one or the other [07:00] you have to modify bootchart to make it run past gdm but its not to hard [07:00] SHMO: try using the .torrent to download it [07:00] compwiz18, that's not the problem [07:01] zubuntu, Or try /etc/init.d/networking restart [07:01] * adisini laughs [07:01] compwiz18 the video card on my dell laptop uses system memory for video ram and i only have ~650mb free [07:01] doesnt gdm starting mean the xsession died [07:01] the distro is ~700mb [07:01] does anyone know how to edit the programs marked for startup in the "Sessions" menu [07:01] is there a way i can burn a cd directly from the ftp site? [07:01] canthony, one possible culprit is akamaru [07:01] SHMO...you would still have to download it... [07:01] because it does seem to coincide with the time it loads [07:01] physics engine for kiba? [07:01] yeah [07:01] hi everybody [07:02] hi griffi1 [07:02] hmm [07:02] griffil u l33t mofo [07:02] SHMO: see if you can lower the amount of memory in the bios? [07:02] did you build that yourself [07:02] SaadS|AboutUs, I have another idea for you after you "parallel" test. [07:02] i used to use kiba [07:02] Go to System > Preferences > Sounds and uncheck the box that says "Enable software sound mixing." [07:02] the memory setting is via ubuntu but i don't know how to change it [07:02] When I try to run autgone, I get : Please add the files codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4 progtest.m4 from the /aclocal directory to your autoconf ... [07:02] I had it enabled and working fairly glitch free, but then I made a clean gutsy install and one of the times I booted back into feisty, this happened [07:03] does anyone had this issue ? [07:03] SHMO: are you using a livecd or something? [07:03] has anyone else had the bcm43xx driver injection capability broken by recent updates? [07:03] compwiz18, yes [07:03] canthony I can't figure out how to stop kiba from loading on startup [07:03] login* [07:03] are you using gnome [07:03] right [07:03] SHMO: you don't have any spare 1gb flash drives laying around do you? [07:03] yeah [07:03] if you didnt hardcode the booting of the program [07:03] griffil corrupted my windows partition so i have to use this [07:04] litius, did the uncheck and issued "totem 02\ -\ Don\'t\ You.mp3 & vlc 05\ -\ Driving\ Insane.mp3" result: doesnt play in both. [07:04] you should be able to delete the session file [07:04] it is in the "Session" menu [07:04] where is that at? [07:04] SHMO what is wrong with the windows one? [07:04] ~/.gnome2/cache [07:04] compwiz18, perhaps [07:04] i *think* [07:04] i'll have a look [07:04] or session i mean [07:04] not cache [07:04] xavieran, griffil installed a rootkit [07:04] * demon_spork switches to tty2 to go browsing [07:04] i know its in your home folder becaseu i had this issue once too [07:05] where is http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/ ? [07:05] SHMO, Oh...:( [07:05] !source-o-matic [07:05] source-o-matic is not available anymore, please use Software Sources (in your Applications / K menu) to configure your repositories. Do NOT enable "Proposed updates" unless you're willing to test possibly seriously flawed packages. [07:05] cybermad: see above :) [07:05] i seriously don't know why you're stalking me griffi1 [07:05] thanks [07:05] !FloodBot3 [07:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about floodbot3 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:06] Ok...thanks ubotu [07:07] xavieran, that worked in the sense that my proc use is back to normal my question now is if this is a known or common issue, or if i should file a bug report [07:07] Hello [07:07] hello [07:07] aloha [07:07] !hi [07:07] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [07:07] !hello | Netkiller [07:07] I need a bit of help lowering my resolution for Ubuntu 7.10 [07:07] Netkiller: please see above [07:07] gar [07:07] demon did you find it [07:07] no [07:08] zubuntu, Try posting on the forums...they probably know more than I...I do not know if it is a common issue,as I have never sshed into anything... [07:08] I have a widescreen lcd which runs at a maximum of 1440*900 [07:08] ls is a slow way to search [07:08] thanks [07:08] later [07:08] which I told Ubuntu to run at but the screen says the signal input is to large [07:08] I am ignorant of the correct usage of find or locate to accomplish my goals [07:08] ls | grep searchterm isn't... [07:09] thanks for the help [07:09] I am currently looking at the Xorg.conf if I put it up on paste bin would anyone beable to look and tell me what to change? [07:09] !pastebin [07:09] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [07:10] litius, perhaps we can uninstall all sound and config and then reinstall? [07:10] demon ill be right back [07:10] im going to make a session then find the thing [07:10] sudo updatedb && locate "file" demon_spork [07:10] but im gonna need some serious help with that [07:10] Anybody familiar with the ATI proprietary drivers? [07:10] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55687/ [07:10] puff: maybe? [07:11] SaadS|AboutUs, another thing (before killing and giving birth): check your skype settings (or VLC settings) and see that the sound is set to use ALSA (or "/dev/mixer") [07:11] xavierman, I need to find the word session in my home directory, in a hidden file, and I have no idea where, do you know how I could find that? [07:11] demon_spork: use grep [07:11] anyone? [07:11] demon_spork: I think it is grep * session [07:11] Ah... [07:11] Yes [07:12] oops, backwards: demon_spork grep session * [07:12] ls *.* | grep searchterm [07:12] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55687/ what do I change to get to resolution 1280*768? [07:12] xavieran: but then you still don't know what file the word is in, do you :P? [07:12] No... [07:12] Hmm... [07:12] find can do this... [07:13] compwiz18, how do I make grep recursive to search inside directories as well? [07:13] I red it in my Red Hat Linux Unleashed a while back...but that book is 300km away...:( [07:13] demon_spork: grep -R session * I think [07:13] *read [07:13] xavieran [07:13] Netkiller, i think you need to change the modes in the screen section but i'm not positive that will do it [07:13] man grep [07:13] Yes Neeku [07:13] Yes Netkiller [07:14] sn00zer: how do I do that? [07:14] xavieran: do you know how to change screen resolution in the xorg.conf file? [07:14] Netkiller, edit the xorg.conf file with your favorite text editor [07:14] sn00zer I am lol. I just don't know what to change [07:14] Netkiller, First back the file up... [07:15] and the refresh rate is at 60 which is what my screen uses. [07:15] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55687/ [07:15] Netkiller, scroll down to the section "screen" [07:15] Netkiller, And the built in resolution changing tool doesn't work? [07:15] ok [07:16] i'm looking for my usb card reader [07:16] how do I use that? [07:16] how do i find it in hoary hedgehog (5.04)? [07:16] SHMO, does it have a card in it? [07:16] yes [07:16] usually it should automount [07:16] when you plug it in [07:16] well [07:16] i am using hardy [07:16] Netkiller, System>Preferences>Screen Resolution [07:16] well the light on the card reader is on [07:16] so it knows it's there [07:16] but mine was in the .gnome2 folder [07:17] xavieran: How can I do that when I can't see anything? [07:17] where abouts would it show up? on the desktop? [07:17] Is there some easy way to make the cursor "disappear" when I haven't used it for a while and that it reapperas when I move then mouse? [07:17] i thought it had a dedicated folder [07:17] Netkiller, Oh... [07:17] Hello All, I have tried to add dual monitors to my laptop, and now it wont boot up.. keeps hanging at running local boot scripts [07:17] any idea how to fix this? [07:17] compwiz18: I'm working on uninstalling the ATI drivers and going back to the ubuntu restricted ATI drivers === hades is now known as Hadeshorn [07:17] puff: good luck [07:17] compwiz18: Thanks :-) [07:17] puff: sorry, I've tried to do that and failed.. :( [07:18] compwiz18: Really? What'd you end up doing? [07:18] hades did ya back up your xorg [07:18] puff: going back to the latest drivers - they're the only ones I could get to work [07:18] canthony: nope.. I know i should have done [07:18] Netkiller, under the subsection "display" look for the Modes line, take out the 1440x900 and 1280x800 assuming you aren't going to try to get that high of a resolution [07:18] Netkiller, Has the screen worked before? [07:18] canthony: I can get into recovery mode and dont know how to unstuff this [07:18] compwiz18: Latest as in the latest in ubuntu's apt servers or the latest from ati's site? [07:18] i would re run the dpkg-reconfigure on xorg [07:18] then [07:19] use xrandr to add dual monitor if you can [07:19] puff: latest as in from ati's site [07:19] puff: the ubuntu ones didn't want to play [07:19] compwiz18: Ah, I'm trying the drivers from ATI's site right now, but the performance sucks and is glitchy to boot. [07:19] Is there a way of telling if a package is a metapackage? [07:19] canthony how do i dpkg-reconfigure for xorg? [07:19] puff: tell me about it. what card do you hae? [07:19] compwiz18: I'm on a thinkpad t43p with ATI firegl v3200. [07:19] if you can get to a terminal [07:20] vim your current xorg.conf [07:20] or gedit [07:20] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [07:20] or whatever text editor you use [07:20] or nano [07:20] ok there ya go [07:20] anyone? [07:20] Okay, I had compiz working fine on this machine until I installed updates and now the system refuses to load the glx module. I looked through Xorg.0.log and came up with this error dlopen: /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1: undefined symbol: _nv000042g can anyone help me? [07:20] the command is in your xorg.conf in the top credits in case you ever need it again [07:20] joe is the way to go [07:20] puff: I've got a compaq v2000 with a 200m [07:20] puff: although I have to say, the drivers work much better on faster computers, I find [07:21] as does everything else [07:21] i'm looking in /dev [07:21] can't find anything there [07:21] compwiz18: The ubuntu gutsy restricve worked great, but suspend didn't work. Somebody suggested trying the ATI from-the-ati-site drivers but those are turning to be worse... unless I'm missing some kind of config change or something. [07:21] Is there some easy way to make the cursor "disappear" when I haven't used it for a while and that it reapperas when I move then mouse? [07:21] ok [07:21] trying [07:21] i have compiz running 1280x1024 on a 32mb nvidia desktop... an old comp i bought from the college for $100 [07:21] where is the location of the boot log? [07:21] Is there a way of telling if a package is a metapackage? (is language-pack-no a metapackage?) [07:22] i had to edit the compiz wrapper script to allow the low memory [07:22] patogen, maybe you'll have to get used to moving the mouse to the right side of the screen to make it disappear [07:22] What would stop the glx module from loading? [07:22] lol [07:22] nice canthony [07:22] puff: that's about what I found -- I never knew why the latest were so much slower [07:22] compwiz18: I'm about ready to give up on them (unless you have suggestions). I'm trying to figure out just how to revert... thinking maybe "apt-get remove" on each of the custom ATI driver packages. [07:22] compwiz18: As a start. [07:22] SlimG: Look its name up in Synaptic. Then read its descriptive text. This will often tell if it is a meta package. [07:22] it runs really well, except when to many windows are open then i get black boxes till i close some ;) [07:23] puff: that's what I'd suggest... again, good luck :) [07:23] SHMO: Well maybe, but if I can get it work like I wish I would rather try that :) [07:23] I am running c-f at 1680x1050 on a geforce 8800GTS 320MB 0_o [07:23] nice [07:23] well, when I am booted into a GUI [07:23] patogen, maybe it doesn't exist, and you'll have to write a python script to do it [07:23] i was so happy not to long ago i finally got my tvout and vga out working on my t43 laptop [07:24] i didnt know anything about xrandr until then [07:24] right now I am stuck at command line until my grep search of the home directory is complete [07:24] it was eeeeasy after that [07:24] hi [07:24] patogen, Try posting to the forums too...more people will see your question there... [07:24] SHMO: Maybe then I won't bother :) It's not *that* important, but I find an easy solution I'll do it :) [07:24] Hadeshorn hows it goin [07:24] or did your x puke [07:25] xavieran: Yeah I guess I can try that :) [07:25] patogen, it would still be worthwhile posting in a forum so other people will find the same solution useful [07:25] server irc.tribalwar.com [07:25] sup [07:26] where do i find my memory card? in /dev?

[07:41] sui: u know why? [07:41] SHMO: try saving the iso somewhere else.. not on the desktop or home [07:41] why? [07:41] Slart, that's why i'm trying to access my memory card [07:41] sui: i run the patch and it dont accept the serial [07:41] Slart, so any idea what can i do? if i download screenlets and build it again will it do any good? cuase i tried make install and make menu but it still doesn't let me run screenlets automatically at startup [07:42] xmanxxx what patch r u talking about the vmware patch? [07:42] gar, disabling kiba-dock didn't stop the crash [07:42] boot log, anyone? where is? [07:42] dirty [07:42] SHMO, why don't you just use the alternate CD installation?

The only thing that helps is rebooting without the WiFi dongle attached. [07:43] kindof annoying [07:43] SHMO-> what you do to windows? [07:44] kahrytan, an a.i. bot installed a rootkit [07:44] Is there a utility or a program that can reduce disk access in ubuntu? I think linux uses my hard disk more than windows and therefore decreased battery life. is there such a program? [07:44] SHMO-> Oh crap ... Linux has those two. [07:44] *too [07:44] xmanxxxx i don't know about that patch because i installed VMware less then two weeks ago and i never instaled a patch like that [07:45] on 7.10 [07:45] rootkit? [07:45] i try but it send errrors [07:45] hi, the screen resolution is not saved, it always defaults to maximum , how can i make it saved? [07:45] norty: grep -o '[^/]*$' should work [07:45] sweetsinse, the rootkit was made by an a.i. bot that someone taught how to program via hacker forums [07:46] it's actually, according to the bot, an existing rootkit that has been modified [07:46] Slart, do i just use that or do i need to put in the filename im searching for? [07:46] what does it do... it was installed by a bot/ [07:46] SHMO: do you have a fast internet connection? [07:46] ?

I know it has to do with vorbis [07:47] but what do I need to install to get it to compile? [07:47] hotmonkeyluv, I think theres a command which optimizes hard disk access on laptops. I think this should help https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695 [07:47] norty: you can use that like this .. ls | grep -o '[^/]*$ [07:47] xmanxxxx, this one does but its for fiesty http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_feisty_fawn_vmware_server_howto [07:47] Filled-Void: thanks!!! [07:47] xmanxxx are use useing the defalts on the vmware install or are you sintalling to a diffrent location? [07:47] SHMO: because I think there is a netinstall cd you can use that is much smaller than the regular cd [07:48] Slart, can i use the netinstall cd to install a livecd? [07:48] sui: defaults, isnt the first time that i install vmware [07:48] SHMO: but you'll have to install much of the stuff from internet instead of from your local cd.. so it might take a bit longer [07:48] hotmonkeyluv, Be sure to READ THE WHOLE THING ALSO [07:48] Slart, thanks! [07:48] sry for caps [07:48] but is the first time in ubuntu server 7.10 [07:48] SHMO: nah.. but you can use it to install ubuntu on your computer [07:48] because i use opensuse, but now i migratye all to ubuntu [07:48] SHMO: I kind of assumed that's what you wanted to do, right? [07:49] Filled-Void: I always read and make backups (I didn't a while ago, then xorg.conf turned to mush, now I backup everything) [07:49] Slart, unless i can install to a usb hdd, it's ok, but i don't want to touch the main partition [07:49] SHMO: makes no sense to use a netinstall for a liveC [07:49] hey, quick question.. whats the latest gutsy kernel image? [07:49] xmanxxx im no prob at installing vmware but i used that tutorial i showed you and i only have problems when i tried to change the default file loactions [07:49] hotmonkeyluv, :) Good make sure theres no consequences sicne I avent personally done it on my laptop yet [07:50] SHMO: ah.. so what's the goal here? you need a live cd to do what? [07:50] GSF1200S: packages.ubunut.org will tell you [07:50] xmanxxx: im no pro* [07:50] surf the net, etc. [07:50] erawfish.. thanks [07:50] sui: ??? [07:50] Filled-Void: I'll be your tester! [07:50] hi, each user set his own resolution, where is this saved? [07:50] SHMO: can't you do that from your windows install? [07:50] with a .deb file, is there a way to list what the package name will be after you install it? I don't see anything in the man file. [07:50] hotmonkeyluv, :) [07:51] sui: in no pro, ??? [07:51] Slart, as i said before, my windows partition is damaged [07:51] hmm, that site isnt loading up [07:51] xmanxxxx: im not a pro at installing vmware but when i used that tutorial i didn't have a problem at all [07:51] SHMO: ah.. didn't read that part...

[07:51] grrr [07:52] lol [07:52] sui: is rare man, i'm having trubbles here, trust me [07:52] so, Slart, you see i'm in quite the conundrum [07:52] hey, I'm new and trying to install ubuntu off of the alternate cd [07:53] SHMO: and the problem with the cd you've got is that you don't have enough memory to burn a newer cd, right?

[08:07] i have a whole suite of nice ones [08:07] * Slart misses the games...=/ [08:07] vmware works better on windows [08:07] lol [08:07] well yes [08:08] Slart-> and thats why they got consoles [08:08] there is always the games [08:08] sui: Try virtualbox [08:08] The only better support I see is for games [08:08] sui: I think VMWare works fine on Linux [08:08] games [08:08] lol [08:08] virtualbox is so easy to use, i don't know about vmware, never used it. [08:08] hi, I tried the instructions in "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager" to fix my network manager causing my computer to not suspend, but now my network manager won't even start up on restart. I even removed all the files I created, and it still won't start. Can someone Please help me get my networkmanager to start? Even typing "nm-applet&" in the terminal doesn't do anything... [08:08] mabe is devs would *maybe* consider there is something other than directx [08:08] kahrytan: bah.. consoles.. then I'd have to buy my own tv.. hmm.. on the other hand.. that's not a bad idea =) [08:08] Slart-> not really [08:08] I have some specific security questions about deploying a server. Was wondering if anyone could help me answer them for me [08:09] Slart-> Just get tv tuner card [08:09] but you see if ubuntu becomes main steam then it will become just like windows === cew_mature is now known as Jivelz [08:09] sui: Except the whole fact that it is NOT PROPRIETARY [08:09] kahrytan: nah.. that's not my problem.. the wife uses the tv.. =) [08:09] Slart-> though. most dont have a/v input you naturally have to use coxial adapter or get good lcd with a/v inputs [08:09] my modded xbox does everything anyway [08:10] Slart: I feel your pain, the gf owns the tv :-( [08:10] soon ubuntu will be full of auto loginscripts and auto sudio password scripts viruses will have no problem at all === SHMO[a] is now known as SHMO [08:10] any ideas, Slart? [08:10] yea if ubuntu becomes more dominate in the Desktop world, it wont have as many faults as windows in many different area's of what makes a good OS. IMHO [08:10] plus i have a xvga2, so i can play high res xbox on a monitor :) [08:10] SHMO: I'm not sure here.. but have you tried mounting sda1? [08:10] I tried the instructions in "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager" to fix my network manager causing my computer to not suspend, but now my network manager won't even start up on restart. I even removed all the files I created, and it still won't start. Can someone Please help me get my networkmanager to start? Even typing "nm-applet&" in the terminal doesn't do anything... [08:10] sui: people wouldn't use it if it stops working well [08:10] badkitty and Slart -> it's a bad sign when the man of the house gives up the tv... [08:10] does anyone konw how to install sopcast? [08:10] sui: there are dozens of other distros [08:11] Slart, i'm a newb [08:11] badkitty: ubuntu ships proprietary code already [08:11] "ps aux" gives: "nm-applet --sm-disable", AND "nm-applet"...what does that mean? [08:11] Slart, how do i mount sda1? [08:11] bottom line...windows has no concept of users at the filesystem level...wide open legs [08:11] kahrytan: It's really more of a percieved giving up.. She thinks she is in control.. If I really wanted to use it, she'd be out [08:11] muep: the only reason any of that would happen is if people use it a lot [08:11] sweetsinse-> any HD monitor has the right ports for console [08:11] !sopcast [08:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about sopcast - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:11] SHMO: I'm assuming the card is formatted as.. FAT32 or something.. [08:11] yeah but this is only a vga monitor [08:11] like a crt [08:11] badkitty-> but she might kick you onto the couch then [08:11] but it looks fantastic [08:11] Slart, probably [08:11] kahrytan: Actually she prefers the couch ;-) [08:11] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ mount /dev/sda1 [08:11] mount: can't find /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [08:12] sui: i think your missing a key factor about Linux vs. Windows [08:12] can you have network access in recovery mode? [08:12] sui: the same trubble [08:12] sui: users don't directly affect ubuntu [08:12] SHMO: try this "sudo mkdir /media/sda1 && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1" [08:12] it dont accept the serial [08:12] sui: its not that Windows is used by more people everywhere, its the fact that the OS isnt as hardened as a linux system. [08:12] *using [08:12] can you have network access in recovery mode? [08:12] sui: why, is ubuntu server 7.1 fault [08:12] Hadeshorn: if you're talking to me, I'm testing it now [08:12] sui: they may request things, but doing anything too idiotic would cause the people who contribute to the distro to disappear [08:13] windows 'pretends' to lock you out of stuff when in reality every user is an admin [08:13] oxeimon, let me know how it goes [08:13] WGGMk: a windows system can be made as secure or more secure then a ubuntu system [08:13] Slart, SUCCESS! [08:13] i'll take it from here [08:13] what does this word 'secure' mean.... [08:13] tyvm [08:13] if its made by humans it has a crack [08:13] SHMO: sweet.. you're welcome, good luck [08:13] sui: I fail to see that? passing windows "Genuine Advantage Test" is the matter of changing a .dll value from 1 - 0 in the system32 folder [08:13] WGGMk: but generaly speaking windows is less secure because of the many ease of use fetures [08:14] sui: why it doesnt work [08:14] ? === desti_T2 is now known as desti [08:14] I have another question, I have a path to a file, /test/test.txt and i just want this /test/test I dont want the extension, i tried figuring this out with grep but can't get it, any help? [08:14] sui: ease of use features do not make a system unsecure, the way they were developed does [08:14] Hadeshorn: it seems like I can. I can do a "sudo aptitude search" successfully [08:14] sui: it's not the features, but they have made compromises in security to ease the use [08:14] sui: it's just the default settings [08:14] i like the fact that in linux...the files needed by my computer to run dont even belong to me, the user [08:15] sui: muep: and that is MS's flaw, compromissing the wrong things [08:15] norty: sure.. grep -o '[^/]+/[^/)+$' [08:15] you guys you always have to comprmise security to make things easier [08:15] Slart, "/media/sda1/200705~1.mp4" cannot be deleted because you do not have permissions to modify its parent folder. [08:15] sui: i had to reinstall ubuntu again to see if it work [08:15] ?/ [08:15] sui: yes, that's why they have done it in windows [08:15] you cannot make a fullproof secure system thats also user friendly [08:15] sui: the problem is, linux doesn't always work, and compared to windows, it's Extremely buggy and hardware dependent [08:15] SHMO: run this first.. "sudo chmod -R a+rw /media/sda1" [08:15] Hadeshorn: any ideas? [08:16] xmanxxxx: did it work? [08:16] ox: I am soo lost it isnt funny [08:16] oxeimon: linux is a lot less hardware dependent than windows [08:16] ox: i need to reinstall GDM [08:16] sui: nop [08:16] linux is just a differnt concept of programming [08:16] it dont accept any serial man [08:16] any serial [08:16] did you copy and past it? [08:16] linux is a chain of scripts and highly specialized functions and commands [08:16] in suse it never happen [08:16] Slart, that doesn';t seem to work, is there a typo in what you wrote? [08:16] muep: well, in the sense that it will load up on any hardware is one thing, but for it to work flawlessly, is extremely hardware dependent [08:16] windows favors 'do-it-all' programs [08:16] IMO, linux is THE concept of an OS. Windows is the "different" concept [08:16] how i copy if i am in text mode [08:16] ? [08:17] muep: windows has worked perfectly on every computer I've ever built. Linux hasn't [08:17] oxeimon: it's not hardware dependency in linux, it's just the lack of drivers [08:17] weird internet situation--not mine, a friend's--can connect to google on a fresh gutsy install and gmail but nowhere else--would this be a ipv6 or a dns problem? [08:17] WGGMk-> Linux is the kernel and NT is kernel of Windows [08:17] sui: Do you use linux or are you trolling?

[08:27] norty: ah.. thought so.. well that wasn't what you wanted? [08:27] can anyone advise me on security measures for running a server with listening applications and security? best practices? hardening the system?

[08:29] norty: ahh.. I get it.. are there any dots in the path? [08:29] sui: i have a server running already but im just looking for friendly advice, or an assurance on how secure it is to run a server + firewall system as 1 instead of physically seperating it [08:29] ok got it [08:29] * davidw is wondering if there was something dramatically wrong with the latest firefox upgrade [08:29] i never have luck with any httpd.conf files [08:29] no [08:29] Slart, no there aren't [08:30] open dcc with me [08:30] badkitty: you wouldnt happen to know a good direction to start at would ya? preferabbly NOT a HOW TO [08:30] i dont remeber how to send files [08:30] norty: egrep -o '[^\.]*' [08:30] I have a problem. My computer freezes with just the wallpaper showing when I try to log out or switch users or anything [08:30] WGGMk don't you use a router?

[08:31] norty: you're welcome [08:31] oxeimon: I think without sm-disable the network would only run as long as your session was running [08:31] Gumby: it's not appearing in my notification area, and I can't connect to the internet though... [08:31] sui: no, my server is serving my DHCP and a number of other things.. my WRT54G is flashed with DDWRT firmware acting as a wireless/ethernet bridge/access point [08:31] WGGMk: Hmm I suppose I could find the name of some of the pdf's and you could search for them [08:31] the fucking ubuntu crash all [08:31] oxeimon: if network-manager isnt running then what is the network applet supposed to connect to [08:32] oxeimon: does ifconfig return any IP address for your network device? [08:32] WGGMk yeah the best way to lean about it is just to google text files and grab ebooks off torrents and stuff [08:32] Gumby: normally when my internet is working, ifconfig gives 3 sections, "eth0, eth1", and something else [08:32] oxeimon: I am guessing that your network issues do not lie with nm-applet (it is only an applet afterall) but more with your network settings/configuration [08:33] Gumby: now, ifconfig gives a section "lo", with inet addr "127.0.0.1" [08:33] can anyone help with a problem where ubuntu freezes every time I try to log out or switch users? [08:33] Gumby: it's definitely with the applet. [08:33] damn [08:33] i like tomato better that ddrt [08:33] oxeimon: ok, so your network isnt up. no its ont the applet [08:33] firefox is dead in the water:-/ [08:33] I followed the directions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [08:33] Gumby: the two instructions under "Suspend support" [08:33] oxeimon: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [08:33] after I did that, I restarted, and nm-applet didn't load [08:33] WGGMk default ubuntu is faily secure.. not much you can do to if execpt social engi the admin === SecretLine is now known as Nightmare [08:34] Gumby: that didn't do anything. [08:34] sui: what about the recent kernel exploit does that effect ubuntu? [08:34] sui: do you think there is any down fall to using the same machine to firewall and serve? [08:34] it said "reconfiguration network... [OK]" === Nightmare is now known as SecretLine [08:34] *reconfiguring* [08:35] oxeimon: so as I initially stated, network manager probably isnt running. which of course means you have no network management and nm-applet can not connect to anything which is why it isnt working or possibly not even showing up [08:35] snorkel: it only effects you if you give out shell access, for example is someone can ssh into your machine. [08:35] snorkel maybe im not up on all the details of that [08:35] Is Ubuntuforums down? === SecretLine is now known as ReeM [08:35] oxeimon: and what does ifconfig show now? === ReeM is now known as SecretLine [08:36] Delvien: works here [08:36] Can I take a screennnnshot of my login screen somehow :x ? [08:36] damn i really want to fix the gnome panels dying when compiz starts [08:36] Gumby: how do I get network manager to start running? [08:36] Gumby: ifconfig gives the same thing [08:36] sudo /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --pid-file /var/run/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.pid [08:36] or just start compiz really early in the login process === SecretLine is now known as Rostizado [08:36] Gumby: "lo...inet addr:127.0.0.1" [08:36] http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/10/2011257 === Rostizado is now known as SecretLine [08:37] Slart its giving me a time out... [08:37] slart weird [08:37] Gumby: wow, that worked. Now why didn't it do that normally? [08:37] Gumby: actually, not I can see the applet, but it still doesnt connect [08:38] oxeimon: try doing the sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [08:38] already tried [08:38] what does ifconfig say now (dont paste here, paste somewhere like pastebin.ca and paste the resulting URL back here) === SecretLine is now known as Rostizado === Rostizado is now known as SecretLine [08:39] snorkel "Unprivileged local users can gain elevated (root) privileges. Since the [08:39] vulnerability permits privilege 0 ring code execution, users may also [08:39] break out from virtual machines like UML (user mode Linux)" [08:39] Gumby: well, I clearly can't paste, since I'm on another computer as the problem computer doesn't have internet [08:39] Gumby: but it gives the expected 3 sections === SecretLine is now known as a === a is now known as SecretLine [08:39] "eth0, eth1, lo", with no valid ip-addresses anywhere [08:40] oxeimon:which connection is the default connection? [08:40] Gumby: "eth1" is the wireless [08:40] WGGMk do you use remote logins on you're server? [08:40] someone knows virtualbox ? [08:40] sui: yes why? [08:40] oxeimon: are you using encryption with the wifi? [08:41] Gumby: "eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00...... UP BROADCAST MULTICASST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:2841" [08:41] i have a problem....after installation of vista in virtualbox i have a problem 67 to connect the shared directory [08:41] okay, i have tried literally everything. and still, the only operating system that will recognize my sound card and USE it, is freespire.. anyone have any ideas? [08:41] MGGMk because thats the only way someone and exploit you're kernal [08:41] sui: i know, i just told someone else that [08:41] oxeimon: try this sudo iwlist eth1 scan [08:41] Gumby: hmm, I'm not entirely sure what you mean. I recently installed some certificates via firefox that allowed me to connect to an encrypted network [08:41] sui: im not concerned though [08:41] someone help me please ? [08:41] Anyone know anything about installing UT2004 [08:41] On 7.10 [08:41] Gumby: but there's another unencrypted network that I often connect to as well [08:42] Gumby: and neither works [08:42] oxeimon: see if it shows wireless networks available and hopefully at least yours [08:42] has anyone else used freenx [08:42] WGGMk ubuntu passwords are more secure then vista [08:42] Gumby: Yes it does === gamerdude is now known as alinon [08:42] sui: i think that would depend on the individual [08:42] i can't find where gnome is saving my resoltion, i will try to save it in xorg but is not posible that gnome or ubuntu change it back to the maximum suported resolution? [08:42] oxeimon: ok, that is good. have a look at the nm-applet now. does is list those networks? [08:43] WGGMk you host lots of people [08:43] Gumby: in fact, it shows 43 networks, a bunch of which have the same name as the ones I normally connect to [08:43] a private group [08:43] Gumby: and yes, it does. [08:43] i'm having issues changing the theme for my lock dialog, anyone care to lend a hand? [08:43] Anyone know anything about installing UT2004 [08:43] oxeimon: and can you connect to those ones you were connecting to before now? [08:43] Gumby: However, when I click on them, it tries to connect for 5 seconds, and fails. [08:43] sui: a private group (didnt include your name that time) [08:43] Gumby: I cannot connect to any of them [08:44] i'm not getting any errors, but my theme doesn't change either [08:44] oxeimon: ok, let me read that page you posted earlier for a second. === jason__ is now known as taime1 [08:44] alinon them for everything? [08:44] Gumby: which page [08:44] theme* [08:44] oxeimon: what exactly were you trying to do when following the instructions on that page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [08:44] sweetsince: no just for the lock dialog theme [08:45] Gumby: well, my wireless used to randomly crash, taking the whole computer down with it === epifanio_ is now known as epifanio [08:45] Gumby: so I was trying to fix that [08:45] like shutdown and gksudo and whatnot [08:45] no sound on my laptop..help? [08:45] in what directory are kde icons located? :) [08:45] oxeimon: ok, that page isnt going to help with that [08:45] sweetsince: like if you hit ctrl-alt L - i want to change what that lock screen looks like [08:45] Gumby: so I followed the instructions under "Suspend support", and later on under "Disabling NetworkManager" [08:45] Gumby: but afterwards, I deleted all the files I created [08:45] ahhhh [08:46] never use that [08:46] oxeimon: rm /etc/acpi/suspend.d/*network-manager.sh (just in case) [08:46] sweetsince: i went to gnome-look.org and found one i like, followed the instructions - but it's just not changing it [08:46] does everything else change like gksudo and the logout screen alinon [08:46] Gumby: no such file or directory :-) [08:47] sweetsinse: naw, it's only suppose to change the lock theme [08:47] i didnt know there were themes just for that? [08:47] oxeimon: and also sudo rm /etc/default/NetworkManager* [08:47] interesting [08:47] Gumby: can you paste your /etc/dbus-1/event.d/26NetworkManager [08:47] oxeimon: sudo /usr/sbin/NetworkManagerDispatcher --pid-file /var/run/NetworkManager/NetworkManagerDispatcher.pid [08:48] Hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu on a system with no cd-rom drive, unable to boot from usb with syslinux (but it can read the drive), and a floppy drive. I've copied the contents of the ubuntu cd to my USB drive, and I'm trying to boot into it via a floppy drive. How can I talk syslinux into booting a kernel on external media (such as a usb storage device)? [08:48] sweetsince: yeap if you goto gconf-editor and change the lock_dialog-theme [08:48] Gumby: I mean, your "/etc/dbus-1/event.d/26NetworkManagerDispatcher", and your "/etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager" [08:48] Gumby: I think I accidentally deleted those... [08:48] Werdna i just did this [08:48] sweetsince: they look great, i just can't change mine! haha [08:48] oxeimon: http://pastebin.ca/900958 [08:48] i have the floppy at my house though and im not there :( [08:48] thats the first one [08:49] sweetsinse: how'd you do it? [08:49] Gumby: would yours be the same as mine? [08:49] i found a boot image for a floppy somewhere [08:49] well i guess i'm just gonna try rebooting and see if that helps [08:49] sweetsinse: remember anything about it? [08:49] basically uses drivers 2 mount the cdrom then boot from there [08:49] oxeimon: second one is http://pastebin.ca/900960 [08:49] gimme a min [08:50] oxeimon: I am using ubuntu hardy so it may or may not be. tough to tell [08:50] WWhuah nelly! ..

[08:50] hmm, if I reinstall networkmanager, would that remake those scripts? [08:50] oxeimon [08:50] NineTeen67Comet, does not sound like an OS / update problem [08:50] do you know much about the s30gdm script [08:50] sweetsinse: yes? [08:51] sweetsinse: nope nothing at all [08:51] NineTeen67Comet, do you hear beeps? [08:51] tijn: that's what I'm thinking .. maybe the mobo battery? [08:51] in my bootcharts...gdm starts from that script then gets killed and reinitiated by the getty [08:51] tijn: yeah .. it'll beep three times sometimes, and others it'll dual beet, then tripple .. I'm in google now looking up beeps .. [08:51] i want to solve this flashing screen between usplash and gdm [08:51] oxeimon: after editing those files I'd give your system a reboot and see how things worked then [08:51] 3 beeps have a meaning indeed ;) [08:51] hello [08:52] * NineTeen67Comet lol .. no beeps now .. sigh .. [08:52] maybe your memory [08:52] is the update website down for ubuntu? [08:52] tijn: yeah .. slowly pulling and replacing stuff .. lucky it is an old box with hardware I've got in supply .. lol === jakil is now known as jakil_ [08:53] NineTeen67Comet, what you also can do is strip the system completly except mobo/proc etc and listen for beeps [08:53] re [08:54] piti je fait quoi ma [08:54] la [08:54] hello [08:54] hello?

[08:55] Gumby: I can't seem to reinstall network-manager [08:55] Gumby: can I somehow get it from the ubuntu install disk? [08:56] oxeimon: reinstall? [08:56] you completely removed it? [08:56] or just those files?

[08:56] How would I go about adding all ips to the ban list in the iptable and then adding certain ips on a specif port limited access? [08:56] hi, any guide to update kernel ? [08:57] Gumby: how do I create them? [08:57] Gumby: the ones you sent me are from hardy, and I can't copy/paste [08:57] NineTeen67Comet, well it can be multiple problems, mem, video card, proc, mobo etc [08:57] cptnymo: Is that for kde? [08:57] any recommended RSS reader? [08:57] oxeimon: well a few ways, you can open them up on the desktop by doing gksudo gedit /path/to/file or via a console by doing sudo nano -w /path/to/file [08:58] oxeimon: floppy? cdrom? usbstich? copy them over [08:58] its there any guide/doc or something to update the kernel ? [08:58] usbstick [08:58] idk its just a bunch of stuff that came up in the little available updates pop up [08:58] English help wanted. What is a 'commit' log? (Found in Synaptic > File > History.)

[09:08] gary4gar, system, preferences, peripherals [09:08] thelonecabbage: I use a server uptime service that'll pop you an e-mail .. http://www.serviceuptime.com/free_monitoring.php first URL is free. [09:08] gary4gar, sorry, was for feanorek [09:08] pabix, it's nothing to do with sounds at all. It's a bug, I believe, where the title bar of a window will turn white/gray and the minimize/maximize/close buttons become mostly invisible. [09:08] nomopofomo, got compiz? [09:09] unless the email reaches out and smacks me in the head, it's not much use [09:09] badkitty: Totem could not play 'file:///home/mabap/media:/hda' [09:09] the point is I need something to alert me when a server goes down [09:09] I don't check my email 'cept once or twice a day [09:09] pabix, thx [09:09] pabix, I believe I do but I think I probably need to download the application that allows me access to the advanced compiz settings, right? [09:10] nomopofomo, for compiz issues, you better ask another person... I'm the wrong one :( [09:10] thelonecabbage: lol .. Hire a little kid to go off when he sees his game go down .. lol .. I dunno what'll actually pop out a signal other than e-mail or log .. [09:10] mabap: If it doesn't work you probably need to download the codecs [09:10] where can i find material that will give me an idea about user rights and how they work when it comes to setting them my self [09:10] NineTeen67Comet: in theory applet [09:11] I guess I'll have to write one [09:11] * pabix is compiling itk, vtk, ffmpeg, mpeg2-encode, and paraview... [09:11] pabix, maybe you can help me with another issue? Which plug-in would you recommend for viewing Quicktime movies in Firefox? [09:11] nomopofomo, mplayer plug-in? [09:11] pabix, I'll look, thanks :) [09:11] you search for mplayer in synaptic (and you have downloaded the non-free codecs) [09:11] pabix, does the whole app grey out? [09:11] badkitty: I have all the codecs.. :/ [09:12] Survivorman, are you talking to me? [09:12] Oops [09:12] Survivorman, I have no problem with my desktop, you might have asked nomopofomo [09:12] Sorry [09:12] mabap: are you sure.. do you have libdvdcss2? [09:12] :) [09:12] nomopofomo what driver and vidcard you using [09:12] Sorry pabix [09:12] no need to be [09:12] sweetsinse, nvidia and Geforce 6600 GT [09:12] sweetsinse: didn't work. my files are on a USB drive, which it wouldn't talk to. [09:13] oh you did say that didnt you Werdna [09:13] i thought you needed floppy [09:13] In compiz, the whole app occasionally greys out when the app crashes, but if the titlebars disappear, usually switching from gtk back to emerald helps me fix it [09:13] no, not enough room on a floppy :P [09:13] ahh === Aloha__ is now known as Aloha [09:14] what do you need on there? [09:14] what you mean not enough room [09:14] nomopofomo what wndow decorator [09:14] Survivorman, no, that's not the case. Sometimes while switching between windows or moving my mouse over the title bar buttons, the title bar ONLY will grey out. [09:14] sweetsinse: the 700MB ubuntu install disk. I can't find my damn USB CD-ROM drive. I've copied the files themselves onto a USB disk, and I want to run it. [09:14] sweetsinse, compiz... I think? I don't actually know what a window decorator is. [09:15] sweetsinse: I've determined that if syslinux would work on that disk, I'd be in business. [09:15] sweetsinse, I know I'm using the human theme. 7.10 Gutsy. [09:15] can anyone tell me when i have set up a simple NFS share and i type "sudo mount 192.168.0.2:/home/dan /home/dan" where 192.168.0.2 is the inet address of wlan0 on the server -- I get "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 192.168.0.2:/home/dan, missing code page or helper program or other error" [09:15] Werdna why not use floppy to boot cd, what were you trying to do again [09:16] nomopofomo you are probly using gtk-window-decorator [09:16] sweetsinse: Install ubuntu. I don't have a CD drive for this computer (it's a laptop) [09:16] sweetsinse, how would I confirm? [09:16] Is there a Dashboard like program that works well with Ubuntu (that I can get from the repository?) [09:17] ps aux | grep gtk-window [09:17] nomic, are you using this help guide to setup nfs? https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/network-file-system.html [09:17] run that nomopofomo [09:17] nope [09:17] i will try that one [09:18] /usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator --replace [09:18] sweetsinse, I am running it. [09:18] pocketdrummer: screenlets? [09:18] you could try like soeone suggested, to install emerald nomopofomo [09:18] i personally like it alot [09:18] badkitty: is it available from the repository and not Ubuntu breaking? This is the first time I've had it up and running without serious problems. [09:19] sweetsinse, what's it called in the package manager? [09:19] and i know gtk has issues sometimes with compiz [09:19] Gumby: thanks for all your help. I finally have it working [09:19] does anyone where is the file .config for the kernel when youfirst install ubuntu (I mean the kernel header) ?? [09:19] just emerald [09:19] oxeimon: good to hear [09:19] Gumby: and by working, I mean back to the point before I tried to fix it hahahah [09:19] compiz will use it by default if it exists [09:19] pocketdrummer: Umm actually i think it is.. try it if not, its just a repo away.. [09:19] nomic, i used that and didn't have a problem setting it up, my nfs shares mount from fstab, instead of using the hostname, i use the ip address of the machine and have set the mount points into /media [09:19] oxeimon: always a learning experience :) [09:19] right thanks dgjones ... btw how do you get a hostname for a machine instead of an ip address [09:20] now I can finally start on my problem set that's due tomorrow. gahhhhh [09:20] i think it is because i should be using fstab [09:20] Werdna do you have a floppy though on that lappy [09:20] what should i do if in my restricted drivers manger ATI card is present and not NVIDIA which is my video card [09:21] One last question. How do I choose which plug-in I want to decode movies in my browser if there are two installed? Should I just remove the Totem plug-in or will that cause dependency errors? I would rather use the VLC plug-in. [09:21] nomic, i'm not sure about getting the hostname, its something i need to have a look at myself at some point for situations when the ip address changes [09:21] nomopofomo remove totem-mozilla [09:21] yes i gather the ip address may not be constant dgjones [09:22] nomopofomo is emerald w3rking/ [09:22] sweetsinse, installing it now :) [09:23] nomic, in theory on mine it should be, i use mac address filtering and each allowed mac address is linked to an internal ip address on the router, but for some reason my router settings have gotten confused and they've changed which is why i want to change to the hostname [09:23] what should i do if in my restricted drivers manger ATI card is present and not NVIDIA which is my video card [09:23] oboy03, shit a brick. [09:23] oboy03 is everything w3rking at the moment? [09:23] yeah [09:23] l8r dgjones [09:24] then id say if it aint broke... :) [09:24] sweetsinse: then i cant use accelerated graphic [09:25] ahh [09:25] lol [09:25] sweetsinse: yes. [09:25] nomopofomo: what do u mean by shit a brick??? [09:25] can anyone use QtTube anymore? seems like every URL times out when i try to download... [09:25] haha what is output of: lspci | grep VGA :oboy03 [09:26] ?? [09:26] oboy03, I meant it sounds like a tricky problem. [09:26] Werdna i dont know, maybe sbm can pass boot to usb also? [09:26] oboy03: He means, that shouldn't be possible [09:26] sweetsinse: nope. [09:26] well it is possible [09:26] oboy03: And that your are in a jam [09:27] haha [09:27] a very sticky fruit jam [09:27] oboy03: How could it recognize an nvidia card as an ati? [09:27] yes that is peculiar [09:27] what is the output of that command oboy03 [09:27] Haha, how do I actually apply one of these themes in Emerald? [09:28] 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500] (rev a1) [09:28] nomopofomo are you in the theme manager for emerald [09:28] but in restricted driver it says [09:28] Yes [09:28] ATI accelerated drvier and HAL [09:29] hang on i dont have it installed on hardy [09:29] how do i get diff to print out 0 or 1 everytime? i need to use it in an if statement.. [09:29] Sigh... I need subversion... [09:29] I'm on it sweetsinse. [09:30] oboy03 you might have to specify driver in xorg.conf, dont know which you need? === jakil is now known as jakil_ [09:30] nomopofomo do you have a .emerald file [09:31] pretty sure you just go to 'Import' [09:31] oboy03: I see the system tells you its an nvidia card but it recommends an ati driver in the restricted manager? [09:31] badkitty: yes [09:31] sweetsinse, not yet. I could export one from the theme manager but I'm going to try to import some first from the repositories. [09:31] oh [09:31] But first, I need subversion. [09:31] i dont know of any packages in the repos [09:32] i just updated a while ago and i am surprise it recommends ATI, i had it working before with nvidia [09:32] oboy03: Can you install the nvidia drivers yourself? [09:32] do you remeber what driver you were using [09:32] badkitty: i do not know manually, i just follow the update [09:33] i remember the new-nvidia-glx [09:33] i think [09:33] nvidia-glx-new [09:33] thats it [09:34] sweetsinse, yeah, I can't figure out how to get any of the themes from the repositories... [09:34] i tried now sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [09:35] after that command finishes, oboy03, run sudo nvidia-glx-config enable [09:35] oboy03: Your going to have to enable the restricted repo i imagine [09:35] oh ...it worked? [09:35] so how can i remove the ati and the HAL? [09:36] no sure either, didnt know there were theme packs in repo nomopofomo [09:36] oh you dont want to remove hal my friend [09:37] emerald is crazy customizable [09:38] anyone here use ypserv/nis? [09:38] how do i install different login screens or themes [09:38] system > administration > login window [09:38] i've downloaded some [09:39] it doesnt recognise it [09:39] did you unpack it [09:39] i think u hav to us gdm manager or something like that [09:39] leave it as a .tar [09:40] oh [09:40] nice one [09:40] ta [09:40] How do I get diff to output either 0 or 1, i need to use it for an if statement.. ?? [09:40] haha no worries [09:41] norty is this bash [09:41] script [09:41] no csh [09:41] norty: diff a b > /dev/null; echo $? [09:41] sweetsinse: any ideas? [09:42] I need it to work locally [09:42] norty: what do you mean? [09:43] can't have access to /dev [09:43] sudo nvidia-glx-config enable did not work [09:43] I can't figure out how to make Emerald work for me. :( [09:43] nomopofomo: It doesn't work at all? [09:43] nomopofomo: are your graphics drivers installed? [09:44] IndyGunFreak, course. badkitty I opened up the app in System >Preferences but can't figure out how to apply the theme. [09:44] hai [09:44] nomopofomo: You apply the theme inside of emerald [09:44] Werdna i dont suppose youve poked around your bios for usb support...haha wishful thinking? [09:45] nomopofomo: it should enable as soon as you choose it, least it always has for me.

[11:09] zarnick__, have you tried any other hard drives? [11:09] bascule, i remove the lock and go X again, and the black screen comes back [11:09] Hadeshorn: black screen? [11:09] opteroN, I don't have any other hard drives for testing [11:10] zarnick__, do you have a thumb drive [11:10] bascule: as in the TTY disappears and all that appears is a black screen [11:10] opteroN, not right now, but I can get one I think, small one [11:10] no cursor? noo background, just a black screen [11:10] bascule and when I go CTRL, ALT F1 brings up the tty [11:11] bascule nothing, its just black like night [11:11] maximilion, connect the place where you want to bookmark & then Bookmarks > Add Bookmarks [11:11] zarnick__, i was going to say run the installation off a thumb drive, sounds like it mayb a bad disk, or burn [11:11] Hadeshorn: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf change Driver in Device section to "vesa" [11:11] it's the livecd installation [11:11] do you think it could be the cd??? [11:12] zarnick__, is it a official cd from ubuntu ? [11:12] no [11:12] or a burnt copy [11:12] I've downloaded and burned [11:12] from ubuntu [11:12] so...burnt copy [11:12] try reburning the disc at a slower speed [11:12] hum...ok [11:12] let me grab another cd then [11:12] bascule: roger [11:12] I'll be back to tell how it went ;) [11:12] thanks [11:12] k [11:12] Hadeshorn: try again, just X [11:13] this has to work [11:13] is my last cd [11:13] hehe [11:13] zarnick__: bur in at 8 or 16 speed [11:13] 16 is the smallest [11:14] bascule: changed the driver to vesa and rebooting now [11:14] don't need to reboot [11:14] burn in a dvd is out of question right? [11:14] zarnick__: I meant burn at a slower speed [11:14] but you can uses dvd if you like [11:14] bascule: its doing something [11:15] I'd like to ask something. I and my friend bought same laptop. I use only Ubuntu, he uses Ubuntu and Win XP. When I (or he in Ubuntu) put external speaker into audio out integrated speakers in book don't turn off. But Whne my friend does so in Win XP, it does turn them off. [11:15] How to fix it? [11:15] bascule, is on the smallest now [11:15] bascule: its got a green distortion at the top and the wait cursor is displayed, but then goes back to the black bootup screen [11:15] and data checking [11:15] Belisarivs: in power options, tell it to suspend on lid button [11:16] Hadeshorn: something is badly wrong [11:16] bascule: i will try booting up with the live cd and see if it that boots up [11:16] it will hopefully, not a hardware issue [11:16] bascule: that message wasn't forme, was it? [11:17] bascule: is this too much of a fuckup to fix.. should i just reinstall ubuntu? [11:17] Belisarivs: yes, hence your name at the front of it :) === zarnick__ is now known as zarnick [11:17] Hadeshorn: no, in live cd copy it's working xorg.conf to the installation one [11:18] bas ok [11:18] bascule: but I don't have any issue with suspend on lid. [11:18] Belisarivs: it will turn the speakers off though [11:18] :) [11:19] I still don't get it. What if I keep lid open. I wan't to use external speaker while watching movie. [11:19] opteroN, it burned...now for checking.... [11:20] Belisarivs: perhaps I misunderstood, the headphone port doesn't work? [11:20] Nope. [11:20] I want integrated speaker to be turned off when external speaker is put to audio out. [11:21] It works in win, so I'm looking for way to make it working in Linux.

[11:46] ? [11:46] no [11:46] SHMO: I'm stumped again.. I don't know if this is due to something weird in your version of ubuntu.. [11:46] I've manually partitioned so it used only 50% of the HD(80Gb), and it went ok on formating [11:46] Slart, yeah i just thought you might be an ol' schoo' h4x0r [11:46] but when the install reaches 22%, it just exists [11:46] mount the system and exists [11:47] SHMO: hehe.. I've only used ubuntu since edgy [11:47] zarnick__, is it a official cd from ubuntu ? [11:47] SHMO: and debian before that.. but it seems hoary is a different beast [11:47] Slart, is there any way i can burn a cd direct from ftp? === HangukMiguk is now known as HM^asleep [11:47] opteroN, I've downloaded and burned [11:47] again [11:47] same thing [11:47] ? [11:47] yeah i toyed with debian too [11:47] as you asked [11:47] debian was my first love [11:48] I think it wasn't a bad burn after all [11:48] SHMO: I don't think so.. you might look up some other distros... see if there is a smaller one that still works as a live cd [11:48] might be a incompatibility issue [11:48] have you tried the ubuntu forums [11:48] but with what? [11:48] no [11:48] that specific hd? not sure i am pretty new to ubuntu myself [11:48] does debian have a live cd? [11:49] i know it used to have a live floppy [11:49] hum... [11:49] shouldn't be a hd problem [11:49] let me try running the installation again....who knows? [11:49] hello. Has apache2 has its own IP address by default?

[11:51] i'd rather burn a copy of ubuntu live cd direct from ftp [11:51] it can't be that hard to do [11:51] my internet connection is fast enough to support 2x [11:51] won't even start [11:52] I'll try the OEM install as well [11:52] worth burning fairly slowly -- I found that the shipped CDs were pretty much worthless [11:52] SHMO, you say to use only 20% of 160GB? [11:52] zarnick, yeah [11:52] why? [11:52] It formated ok [11:52] with 50% [11:52] just in case it IS a hdd problem [11:52] a [11:52] ok [11:52] zarnick: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:52] it might have found a bad sector [11:52] that format didn't detect [11:53] i c, ok, I'll try it, if it doesn't help, I can always use manual tools for formating it the real way and wait for a week or two [11:53] WHen I set it up here...in my house its IP is 192.168.1.100. but when I transferred it to the network...I could not longer access it 192.168.1.100 but instead 192.168.1.9 [11:54] a week or two? shouldn't take less than 3 hours if you use an algorithm [11:54] i mean if it takes 6 for me [11:54] for a 320gb [11:54] greetings [11:55] I have a few concerns about installing GG on an iBook [11:55] can i use packages from an older version of ubuntu? if i am using 8.04 can i get some package from 7.10? [11:55] can i mount an ftp site? [11:55] I got a hand me down, but it's only 1.0GHz. it should run, but will it run comfortably? [11:55] "Gemmers, 1.0GHz should be enough for anybody" -- Bill Gates [11:56] It's the 12in iBook, what do you think, will it run comfortably or splutter like an old Mitsubishi [11:56] I'm guessing I couldn't run gimp on it though :P [11:56] with a ram upgrade you might [11:56] What I like about the iBook is the design but also the main thing is the battery lief [11:57] Does anyone forsee any problems? [11:57] Drivers etc? [11:57] it's not an intel chip or amd chip [11:57] well debian was based on the older drivers more than the newer ones [11:58] what kind then? [11:58] SHMO, that was the problem, is going now :D If I do a full format of the rest, I can still put it on /home and /usr/local as new partitions right? [11:58] what was the G4, power pc chip [11:58] Yeah PowerPC G4 chip [11:58] yeah but if it IS a hdd problem then you won't be able to mount all the remaining partitions, or, if you can, i wouldn't use them for sensitive data === metnumbox is now known as tot1 [11:59] hum...shouldn't a full format take care of it? [11:59] Gemmers, would OS X run on that? [11:59] Yeah apparently it's running OX x [11:59] i'd keep the OS X if i were you [11:59] but if you really love ubuntu [12:00] then i'd try [12:00] HI guys, I have installed a Pci wireless network card, where do i do to select thiis wireless options [12:00] try and get the original OS X cd/dvd with it [12:00] Yeah all there [12:00] I don't really like the apple OS [12:00] I booted the first time and ubuntu did not see wifi card [12:01] maybe you need to enable it by hand === tot1 is now known as metnumbox [12:01] for my wifi card i had to install the firmware by hand [12:01] how to enable wifi card? [12:02] the best way [12:02] Slart, you still around? [12:02] yup === HangukMiguk is now known as Hanguk^asleep [12:02] check the chipset of your card then google [12:02] SHMO do you think OS X is better than Ubuntu [12:02] is it possible to mount an ftp directiroy [12:03] no comment, Gemmers [12:03] Because to be honest, using both, I've preferred ubuntu [12:03] I have a scanner part of a multifunction printer I can scano as root but as a user i get core dumps instead anyone know how to fix this? [12:03] SHMO: not that I know of.. I don't think ftp is really meant for random access [12:03] metnumbox: i ordered a card for linux compatible [12:03] so i would need execute access on an ftp? [12:03] you will find the firmware for your card on some specific sites [12:04] Am I just wasting my time, still 1.0GHz is really low [12:04] SHMO: seems there is something called fuseftp [12:04] even with some linux compatible cards you may need a firmware ! is it pcmcia or integrated [12:05] can you give me the rpm link [12:05] SHMO: places->connect to server might do the trick [12:05] SHMO: what was way to easy =) [12:05] *that [12:05] Gemmers: 1GHz is just a clock frequency; barely related to performance. [12:05] So what, ram is the more important figure [12:05] I think we can update it to a max of 640mb [12:06] I suppose I could find another 256MB DDR stick to join the other [12:06] fgh [12:06] metn it's a wireless pci lan adapter, [12:06] But installing it on this PowerPC chip, is it more difficult than installing it on an intel or amd based machine [12:07] Gemmers: I'd say memory is more important.. gnome is a bit of a elephant... but try xubuntu [12:07] how do i find out how much video memory ubuntu is using? [12:07] Difference is only graphical right, basically more stripped down [12:07] Gemmers: I'm running xubuntu on a mini-itx motherboard.. I think it's 700Mhz or something === wasta is now known as caca [12:07] hello, anyone experiencing problems with debootstrap aswell? [12:07] Gemmers: same amount of software.. but the window-manager is smaller.. uses less memory etc [12:07] It's not so much asking whether I could run ubuntu on it, more so could I run ubuntu on the machine comfortably [12:07] Gemmers more ram is always nice. I prefer at least 512 my servers i prefer more 756 or a gig [12:08] know what I mean [12:08] metnumber : /RT61_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.4.0, thta's the divers, but i am a newbie, i do not know how to install drivers [12:08] Gemmers: I'd say yes, if you skip compiz and such.. [12:08] Well I use a windows based PC which is quite tough, but the idea of a funky laptop for uni with good battery life and not paying for software sounds like instant win [12:09] Compiz? [12:09] Slart, can live cds burn cds? === never|mobi is now known as neversfelde|mobi [12:09] even if i have an external burner? [12:09] So I'll buy another stick of ram, but even then, cross fingers touch wood, I should expect much [12:09] Compiz=the cube.. the burning windows.. things zooming around in 3d [12:09] Oh I want that :P [12:09] how much speed (on an ircd) does 1 chat users consumes? [12:09] SHMO: I would think so.. depending on who made it of course.. [12:09] Gemmers install system monitor to your top menu bar and monitor the swap usage. if your not really using the swop file you have enough ram [12:10] Hello, can anyone help me get compiz working with an ATi Radeon X1950 GT card running the current 'Restricted Driver' ?

[12:18] Ubuntu_: Read more about Ubuntu and format the Vista partition instead [12:18] ubuntu_: if you want to remove linux, boot into the Ubuntu livecd, run gparted and delete the partition (and the linux-swap partition if present), then resize windows to occupy the entire drive. once linux is gone, boot into your Windows installation CD and go to the recovery prompt, and issue the command FIXMBR. [12:18] so Faust was a dictator right? [12:19] or some kind of philosopher?

[12:28] the ubuntu cd is in the drive atm [12:28] I don't know. .but it's complaining that it can't find block 0.. and without a cd in there that might not be very surprising [12:28] ah.. then.. well... I guess ubuntu doesn't like your cd-drive [12:28] great [12:29] well the ubuntu cd is in the drive atm [12:29] and it booted from it fine [12:29] will it burn from a live cd? [12:30] join #mixxx [12:30] The other day I came here to fix my ipod not mounting automatically when it's plugged in and not only is that still the case but I've discovered that CDs and floppies don't mount either. I can manually mount all these items but they fail to mount on their own as they used to. Does anyone have a fix? [12:30] I seem to recall something about it being hard to use the cd for anything else when you've booted off it [12:30] Slart, but not impossible? [12:31] SHMO: I don't know..

[12:34] or at least use some color that is near the white background, like light yellow or something [12:34] not about 'the right way' [12:35] hello [12:36] ls colors are customizeable.. but ive never had to mess with them.

[12:37] !cloning | Schmao-Fmao [12:37] Schmao-Fmao: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [12:37] SHMO: yes I am using ls -alF (and the folder with colros that is hard to read is a folder that starts with a .)

[12:38] (and yes, it whould be completely superugly to have to copy things from terminal to a texteditor just to be able to read them) [12:38] Schmao-Fmao, ghost the drive if thats what you really wanna do [12:39] Ghost as in, the Norton program? [12:39] Schmao-Fmao, as in sec lemme get link [12:39] Schmao-Fmao, uhm, sure, why not [12:39] SHMO: I don't know how many folders I should copy for it to constitute the entire operating system. I know I can't copy over /boot, /dev, and /proc [12:40] and I can't use "dd" and "cat" because the hard disks are different size [12:40] I love my EeePC :) [12:40] Schmao-Fmao, http://sourceforge.net/projects/systemrescuecd/ [12:40] i want to setup an ircd. i alread have installed and done things. what protection will i need for it? ddos?

[12:55] hmm.. the only thing about colors in .bashrc I can see is alias ls='ls --color=auto' so I guess if I remove that I kick out the colorisation of ls completely. better whould be to have sane colors of course... [12:55] zoobox, what's your problem with the colours? [12:56] it's hiding .file files with strange colours [12:56] where's the kernel fix? [12:56] hiding them with strange colours? Is this in an xterm or in a tty? [12:57] zoobox? [12:57] zoobox: eval "`dircolors -b`" is the interesting line. See 'man dircolors' [12:57] Lunar_Lamp: I want to change the colors ls use [12:58] no update? [12:58] zoobox, yes, is that in an xterm (e.g. gnome-terminal) or at the console screen?

[13:19] the matrix has you, cheesypieces [13:20] Pici, i just need the path, to set the JAVAHOME env variable [13:20] SHMO: What exactly are you trying to do? [13:20] is there a way to turn an iso file into a device /dev (like a pseudo cdrom drive?) [13:20] KI4CGP, for some reason it didn't run at all without the opengl switch (*"wtf" look*) [13:20] Joetheodd, I don't remember the website, but installing the patches worked. Then I disabled the splashscreen for wow so it wouldn't update automatically like taht [13:20] cheesypieces: it could be your video card overheating [13:20] abhishek: I don't know then, sorry.

I just used breezy yesterday :P [13:21] Joetheodd, heh [13:21] compwiz18: it is called loop device [13:21] Does anyone know what version of wine is on gutsy's repositories?

I was having trouble with the ATI drivers, so I dist-upgraded to Hardy to make that problem go away [13:23] compositing is 3d effects in your window manager [13:23] echosystm: yes i think so, it just sort of starts happening without me notice, then it'll get to a point where it just bugs the hell out of me [13:23] so now i'm trying to burn a cd directly from the website because i don't have enough RAM to hold the latest iso image [13:23] right [13:23] well [13:23] how do i see the list of environment variables ??

How would one do that? :) [13:26] Joetheodd, Not sure how well that will support 3D rendering.

[14:39] Bodsda, nothing [14:39] hey guys, I've tried a million things with my wireless card Ralink RT2571WF and nothing seems to work fine [14:39] ubotu and erUSUL, thanks! [14:39] Dex-Freudii: to save power by underclocking the cpu when you're not using it [14:39] Visual Basic is the root of all evil. Discuss? [14:39] Slart, doen't it slow down the performance? [14:39] SaadS|AboutUs, you have no device recognized, capable of playing sound [14:39] !offtopic | Joetheodd discuss [14:39] Joetheodd discuss: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [14:39] I tried ubuntu 7.04, but flash and java wouldn't "just work". But in 7.10, There's nothing to it. [14:39] Dex-Freudii: so if I leave my computer on over the night it becomes a 1.2 GHz Amd instead of a 2.4 GHz amd =) [14:40] Dex-Freudii: yes.. that's the whole point [14:40] Bodsda, device was working, got lost after kernel security upgrade [14:40] Bodsda: yes he does, he has intelhda.. [14:40] Dex-Freudii: but it clocks it right up when you need it to.. so it's only slower when the computer isn't doing anything [14:40] SaadS|AboutUs, what about lspci | grep -i sound or lspci | grep -i media [14:40] Slart, the thing is that I'm now using XChat and the cpu freq monitor says 800 MHz instead of 1.8 GHz [14:40] Dex-Freudii, why is that? [14:40] IndyGunFreak, was this a discovery when i wasnt here? [14:41] Slart, why is that? [14:41] just a couple mnutes ago... [14:41] Good moring everyone [14:41] Dex-Freudii: yes.. and what is your computer doing 99.9% of the time? waiting for you to hit another key.. do you want it to wait faster? sure.. disable the frequency thingy =) [14:41] Dex-Freudii: cpu scaling, powers the cpu down when it doesnt need the power to save electric. [14:41] Hi, anyone know why on my intel 82Q35 integratad video a the native resolution (1900x400) doesn't look well, is it an xorg bug or a monitor issue? [14:41] Main reason I want Linux to "just work" is because when something doesn't work, I haven't the foggiest idea where to start. [14:42] is it any good to disable cpu scaling? [14:42] I can fix just about anything on a windows machine. But I just feel lost on a Linux install. [14:42] IndyGunFreak, oopsy,.,. i wasnt really looking a couple of mins ago,. but nothing will play if asoundconf list shows nothing,. because asoundconf sets your default soundcard [14:42] Dex-Freudii: it won't do you much good.. and it will use more electricity.. and get warmer [14:42] Hi, anyone know why on my intel 82Q35 integratad video a the native resolution (1900x400) doesn't look well, is it an xorg bug or a monitor issue? Im using intel driver on Gusty [14:42] Slart, I see... thank you [14:42] Iori_1: 1900x400 is a very strange resolution, are you sure thats correct? [14:42] Admittedly I feel better seeing how helpful you all are in this chat room. === AnRkey_ is now known as AnRkey [14:43] avds, I would be surprised if it isn't here before the end of the day. [14:43] hola [14:43] yeah [14:43] in the other OS i use that (Windows) [14:43] Iori_1, wouldnt that res give you a rectangular screen? [14:43] Crusader_Tech: oh.. just wait until you really need the help.. then we'll ignore you ;) [14:43] another question, I think my kernels loads a bunch of modules and "features" I don't really use. how can I change it? only by recompiling the kernel? how could I do that? [14:43] yeah its a panoramic monitor [14:44] haha, thanks for the confidence boost, Slart. [14:44] hola alguien puede ayudarme? [14:44] 17 inch [14:44] Scofield, yo [14:44] !es | Scofield [14:44] Scofield: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [14:44] Crusader_Tech: you're welcome... installed ubuntu yet? [14:44] * Bodsda curses Pici for being too quick on the bot [14:44] hey guys, i'm trying to configure my Ralink RT 2571 WF wireless card. From a readme file I modprobe rt2570 [ifname=] [debug=] and spits out: bash: wlan%d: No such file or directory [14:44] gracias [14:44] it looks very rare when i use that res on linux [14:44] Hi everyone, quick question: The startup messages for my ubuntu server are all messed up - it doesn't print a newline at the end of each message. What could be happening? [14:44] alguien de ubuntu-bolivia [14:44] Ares, that driver can be found in module-assistant. Use that. [14:44] Startup is normal, it's just an aesthetic thing [14:44] what im i doing wrong [14:45] I'm talking to you on it now, Slart. I went in and installed Xchat, because it was the first IRC client I recognized the name of. I haven't IRC'd in years. [14:45] there are black bars on the sides [14:45] PriceChild, what's module-assistant [14:45] Ares, sudo apt-get install module-assistant, then use that to compile, package, and install it easily [14:45] later all... [14:45] Dex-Freudii: the kernel can have stuff compiled in.. that is always enabled.. taking space etc.. then there's modules. those are loaded when they are needed... I don't think the kernel loads modules it doesn't need.. you can see a list of loaded modules with "lsmod" [14:45] cya [14:45] can anyone tell me if there is a way to force anti aliasing on ubuntu, i am using compiz and the wobby window effect shows jagged edges pretty bad [14:45] I want to capture image using my webcam. What apps can I use? [14:45] I'm thrilled, I've even got my desktop littered with Compiz eye candy. Rotating cubes, melting windows, and such. [14:45] bye bazhang [14:45] Bodsda, sry got d/c [14:45] np [14:45] hey u guys i got an ATI RAGE PRO AGP in this box. its got Ubuntu 7.10 up and going. I got NO direct rendering, and no drivers under Restricted. My question is- will I be able to get Compiz up and running without DirectRendering enabled ????? [14:45] Slart, so I mean then the compiled stuff [14:45] When I attemp to boot my comp with the Ubuntu 7.10 CD and it will show the startup screen then do to a terminal style interface. Is this a bad CD? [14:46] Bodsda, the commands you told me didnt return anything [14:46] PriceChild, how do i compile, package and install it? is there a wiki, or apt-get? [14:46] Slart, should I recompile? how? [14:46] Crusader_Tech: ah... I must say irc is the easiest way to get support on ubuntu.. always lots of people here [14:46] torc, you have to boot the live cd [14:46] Alternatively, when in the startup sequence does the "login" prompt appear? [14:46] Bodsda, however lspci -v returns Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) [14:46] Ares, once installed, "sudo module-assistant", then navigate the gui to build it... pretty obvious when you see it. [14:46] you leaving too Bodsda? I was saying bye to indygunfreak ;] [14:46] hello all [14:46] !compile > Ares [14:46] can anyone tell me if there is a way to force anti aliasing on ubuntu, i am using compiz and the wobby window effect shows jagged edges pretty bad [14:46] Dex-Freudii: what kind of computer are you running? old? slow? small? [14:47] slart, not at all... Sempron 3500+ 1.8 GHz 1 GB RAM [14:47] bdsda can you help me? [14:47] SaadS|AboutUs, ok, so your machine thinks, it has no sound device, whatsoever,.,. the little picture of a speaker in the top right corner, right click it, then open volume control, then file, then change device,.,.how many devices,.(if any) [14:47] but I'd like to know [14:47] opteroN> I did so. chose the CD to boot from like I did with dapper. [14:47] bazhang, i thought you were leaving,.,.lol,.,. i was gonna leave but i think il stay for a bit,.,.;~) [14:47] i meant Bodsda [14:47] Marillat says " 1.0.6rc1 is the latest package on my repository." - what is the sources.list line for his repo? [14:48] greetings [14:48] Iori_1, maybe,.whats the prob? [14:48] opteroN >>> anti-aliasing is traditionally a Font thing, but if you turned it on for the Windows themselfs, it would have to be at hardware OpenGL level probably thats the best i know, sry [14:48] Dex-Freudii: honestly.. I think I'd have a hard time seeing any difference if I recompiled my kernel.. I think it's more work than it's worth [14:48] Bodsda, when it has a red x next to it when i double click it, i get No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. [14:48] does ne 1 know My anwser? :) [14:48] where can you set an environment variable and have it apply to every user on the system including cron, apache [14:48] what is the terminal command to search file in all folders ? [14:48] test3r, were can i enable AA on the windows ? [14:48] Kate_mins: find [14:48] Kate_mins: find / -iname "something.ext" [14:49] SaadS|AboutUs, remove sound card and plug back in to see if its detected,.,.i cant suggest anything im afraid,.,.apart from undo whatever it was you did that broke it [14:49] Slart, any idea where to get docs or howtos about that? [14:49] torc, it sounds like you selected the option to do the terminal install there should be a menu selection when you first run the disk... you want to select go to live mode or something of that sort [14:49] Slart, I'm interested in Linux for home AND for work. I work at a k-12 private school. We recently upgraded 62 PC's to new Dell machines with Vista. Vista is rather like a sloth on those machines. We're getting away from our old "designed for windows 3.11" software, and mostly going with education web site subscriptions. That gets me away from windows only software. [14:49] opteroN > it would either b part of xorg.conf in a setting itself, OR it would be in the settings window for Conpiz (the Python settings window?) [14:49] Bodsda, its onboard :) [14:49] "detlef@MD97600:~$ LANG=C make menuconfig; make: *** No rule to make target `menuconfig'. Stop." How can I call 'menuconfig'? [14:49] Dex-Freudii: check the forums.. or the wiki.. or kernel.org, in that order [14:49] how well will vista run inside VMWare on Ubuntu 6.06? [14:49] Slart, thnx [14:49] Bodsda, can u help me uninstall everything sound related and reinstall just what is needed? [14:49] SaadS|AboutUs, what? onboard? that is so strange,.,. from the commands i ave you, assuming you typed them correctly,.,.your system thinks you have no sound device [14:50] here I'll ask my question again : [14:50] hend, check your xserver configuration. [14:50] hey u guys i got an ATI RAGE PRO AGP in this box. its got Ubuntu 7.10 up and going. I got NO direct rendering, and no drivers under Restricted. My question is- will I be able to get Compiz up and running without DirectRendering enabled ????? [14:50] oops [14:50] way late. [14:50] Greetings. I noticed that on 08.04 A4 that the hard drive is always being accessed. Is there a command such as top, but which would indicate which process make most us of the drive, to pin point the culprit? [14:50] hi, i've got problem. Suspend is working perfectly even with ati... but I have problem with alsa after waking... it's not working... I compiled latest version. [14:50] !repeat | test3r [14:50] test3r: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [14:50] Crusader_Tech: mm.. I do some IT-work for a school too.. they just upgraded to vista too.. it's just not worth it.. but switching to linux isn't an option.. I can't be there to hold their hands all day [14:50] Tyczek, known bug. [14:50] hansderagon, try iostat [14:50] I think linux has that. [14:50] hansderagon: check atop [14:50] test3r, i dont see anything in the compiz settings for AA, i am not to familar with any config files on ubuntu just came from xp [14:50] hansderagon, oh... I have to: tyczek@tyczek-laptop:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/alsasound restart [14:50] tcpdumpgod: what am I looking for there? [14:50] I understand that. [14:50] my question was off screen [14:51] hansderagon: try #ubuntu+1 as that is the dedicated hardy channel (this channel is only for gutsy and lower) [14:51] SaadS|AboutUs, i dont know whats needed,. mine works almost OTB but just a few things needed,. yours needs to detect the device first [14:51] !aliasing [14:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about aliasing - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:51] test3r, patience is a virtue [14:51] Tyczek: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/48536 [14:51] Bodsda, im avoiding a full reinstall thats all, obviously it worked on 7.10 before i tried that dreaded kernel patch [14:52] #velug-cbo [14:52] opteroN>>I only hit F8 and selected to boot from the CD drive, from there it boots the startup, then goes automaticly to the terminal screen. Also, it will print a ling string repeatedly. The termal prompt is "inframs". [14:52] Hi, How do I allow a non-admin user access to wireless on the laptop? [14:52] test3r, i read some were on the net that you can force AA throguh the nvidia control panel , but i am not sure were to locate it [14:52] Bodsda > im glad you have the patientce of ghandi but a simple "im thinking for you , tester" woulde be peachy then i know at least someone Saw my question. I just started helping people. Still nobody responded. [14:52] SaadS|AboutUs, can you install an older kernal? [14:53] hansderagon, thx... well I add alias to terminal ;] [14:53] Bodsda, dont know how to downgrade, i got a upgrade notification which i normally clicked on [14:53] torc, did you try not pressing f8 and seeing were it goes [14:53] test3r, compiz will run with 3d hardware acceleration cards,. [14:53] !downgrade [14:53] Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [14:53] It gives me the option of dapper or XP [14:53] torc, when i installed i did not have to press f8 it just booted to a selection menu [14:53] Guys, can you revert the kernal back to an older version, if a patch screwed it up? [14:54] Bodsda > yes I kn0ow. And I have a box that I have gotten it running on a GForce 2 Card with only 64MB video memory. [14:54] PriceChild, I click on "list installed (binary) packages" and its telling me, among other things --Binary Package(s) for kernel(s): + (2.6.22-14-generic): not found. Some packages could not be found [14:54] torc, from there i selected boot ubunto from live cd and did the install from withing the OS [14:54] hi can somebody help me setting up grub? for dual boot with ubuntu and sabayon linux?? [14:54] Sabayon's grub2 is getting used [14:54] and I run it currently [14:54] Bodsda > my question Really is- Would it run on something appears to have no support? [14:55] test3r, you just said you have it working?? [14:55] is there any guide to build or use a prepackaged application level (l7) firewall ? since a simple firewall over iptables is no more entreprise with growing P2P intelligent apps [14:55] Bodsda do you know if there is a fix for my problem? [14:55] Iori_1, what is the problem? [14:55] opteroN>>>It opens to the option list and has dapper listed a few times and XP. No mention of 7.10 [14:55] Hello. Can someone help with mouse confuguring? I cannot get all buttons working. [14:55] the problem is that i cant use the native res because the image appears shrinked with a black thik bar on each side [14:56] other res than that fills the screen [14:56] Iori_1, have you done a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? [14:56] torc, do you have you cd-rom set in the bios to your first boot device ? [14:56] Bodsda > im sorry i should have explained. Hi ! I'm test3r. :) I have like, 10 boxes I've installed on since 6.06. Some of them are finished. The one im working on Right Now has this ATI RAGE PRO AGP 2X inside of it. I have Ubuntu7.1 going. I just want to push it as much as I can because Ubuntu kicks butt. [14:56] yeah won't fix it [14:56] I do not believe so. [14:57] hi can somebody help me setting up grub? for dual boot with ubuntu and sabayon linux?? only ubbuntu doesn't boot :( [14:57] im using intel 82Q45 intel modstepping driver or something like thaht [14:57] "sudo dpkg -i --force-architectur" is what I need to install i386 on x64 right? [14:57] err i386 = 32-bit [14:57] test3r, so you wanna no if compiz will work with that card? (thanks for the joliness) :~) [14:58] Xsss4hell: I take it sabayon went on last and did not setup the other OS like ubuntu does [14:58] Iori_1, not sure then im afraid [14:58] anyone ? [14:58] is there any guide to build or use a prepackaged application level (l7) firewall ? since a simple firewall over iptables is no more entreprise with growing P2P intelligent apps [14:58] ok thanks anyway [14:58] Hi everyone, [14:58] rebooting brb [14:59] PriceChild, I ran it and i'm still not being able to connect wirelessly [14:59] Bodsda > Exactly. And why I have no restriced Drivers available under the normal Spot (in the Admin menu or Setup menu) (up there) , and if I have no restriceds enabled, will it work? Als0 because I dont have a special driver for This Card, I do not have Direct Rendering enabled [14:59] Does dmraid support raid 0+1? [14:59] I'd like to custom-partition my HD: I'd like to put /opt on one partition, /var on another, etc etc. Currently I have everything on one partition. What's the best program for me to do this with? [14:59] Hello guys and good afternoon, I'm experiencing some lag between voice and image wile playing my vids in Totem and Vlc anyone got a solution [14:59] PriceChild, I ran it and i'm still not being able to connect wirelessly [14:59] loca|host: I don't know of any firewalls for linux that isn't using iptables.. are there any? [15:00] Bodsda > rly al i want is to enable cube and disable the animation. so that i can use CtrlAlt arrow keys to switch desktops [15:00] test3r, if the card is working, and you can see stuff while using it,. why not try compiz,.,.the worst that will happen is an error message,.,.otherwise look at ubuntu community docs for getting drivers for graphics cards [15:00] Ares, might be a weak gpu? [15:00] Slart, me too, but am talking about a level7 firewalling [15:00] opteroN, whats a gpu? [15:00] test3r, yes u will almost certainly be able to do that [15:00] OK, shouldnt hurt, then? [15:00] no [15:00] sweet =) [15:00] hello im new [15:00] ;~) [15:00] Ares, graphics card (graphics processing unit) [15:01] thanks Bodsda [15:01] loca|host: application level? [15:01] Ares, you have the drivers loaded ? [15:01] NoWanted, hi im Bodsda [15:01] what script is beautifull for irc ? [15:01] opteroN whats graphics have to do with wireless? [15:01] hello Bodsda :) [15:01] NoWanted, what can we do you for? [15:01] you said you had lag when watching video ? [15:01] juste a beautiful graphique [15:01] opteroN, refrash rate? [15:01] Yes i mean the audio and Vidio are not in sync [15:01] opteroN, i went to module-assistant [15:01] i use x chat now [15:01] Slart, classiq iptables cant filter for packets, for example we cant block Skype traffic or msn when it passs through port 80 [15:01] its not really nice [15:01] NoWanted, ood start [15:02] ok [15:02] ok, so until I understand how to give myself more permissions to a certain directory, is there a way to give my self temporary "root" access system wide, while logged in as myself? [15:02] opteroN, it seemed straight forward, but then i again i could have messed someting up [15:02] leeping2008: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome gives you the basics [15:02] NoWanted, so you want something else? [15:02] Ares, im not saying it is your gpu, but that might be a problem [15:02] * test3r really likes XChat, but the new Pidgin that comes with *BUNTU is very nice. [15:02] do u know how i can see my system info on the console ? [15:02] Crusader_Tech: sudo or gksudo for gui apps [15:02] * Bodsda doesnt like pidgin,.,.filthy creatures [15:02] NoWanted, do you mean in terminal ? [15:02] NoWanted, what do you mean by SystemInfo? [15:02] loca|host: perhaps some kind of transparent proxy would work.. but I'm just guessing here... sounds like you need to find someone who knows about these things.. regardless of operating system.. aren't there any channels for network admins? [15:02] opteroN, Yes Audio and Video are not syncronized in any vid. [15:03] opteroN, how could that be a problem? The graphics card is integrated (cheap) [15:03] Jack_Sparrow, thanks again :) [15:03] np [15:03] opteroN yes [15:03] Thanks Jack, but not to sound like a total rookie, exactly how do I do that? [15:03] Ares, that very well maybe the problem then [15:03] OpteroN, i think it's by intel [15:03] How do i reset all the GNOME configurations? It's become very messy, and the panels are acting weird, and i'm getting a strange message when i enter (always happens after i install XGL and then disable it.) [15:03] Slart, am guessing :) [15:03] Or, rather, i ordered the panels so that i can't find my way [15:03] NoWanted, do a google search for "ubuntu terminal cheat sheet" [15:03] opteroN, i was using other drivers for em and it was connecting me, but would disconnect after 5 mins, and i'd have to restart comp a bunch of times [15:04] NoWanted, what do you mean by system info? [15:04] Crusader_Tech: Lets say you want to edit a doc.. go to a terminal aka cli and type gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf the last is just a path and filename to a file you will edit at some point in time [15:04] opteroN, really? cool stuff to do in terminal? wow [15:04] sys info , i can do that on the terminal on mandriva [15:04] can anyone help me with a separate partition for my home folder please? [15:04] Ares, did you load diff drivers? what have you changed? [15:04] opteroN, and if it is, how can i solve that? [15:04] ifconfig [15:04] ;p [15:05] tzd: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome gives you the basics [15:05] opteroN, i have tried many things, so my head is spinning from all the different stuff on line [15:05] test3r, who was that directed to? [15:05] does compiz work? [15:05] the cool stuff in terminal discussers [15:05] tzd: see also /msg ubotu uuid [15:05] Jack_Sparrow: thanks, the issue i've got though is after the partition. I've got my separate partition working but now all kind of weird stuff happens [15:05] opteroN, the latest i've done is gone to module-assistant and loaded the rt2570 drivers...my chip is 2572 [15:06] Ares, so you are playin back audio and video and they are out of sync ? are you streaming or is it local ? [15:06] technically, if its rly cool tho, ud b using iwconfig too [15:06] opteroN, my problem is that i can't connect wirelessly [15:06] thats all we need to go with that === eduardotseoane is now known as Elvan [15:06] test3r, thats for wifi networkin,.,.,.? [15:06] yes or even "bridging" connections for wifi [15:06] what's the diff between acpid & apmd services? [15:06] tzd: Post your fstab to the pastebin along with the output from sudo fdisk -l for us please [15:06] Ares, were you not stating that you were having issues with audio and video stutter or did i get you mixed up with someone else [15:07] Jack_Sparrow: will do! thanks! [15:07] opteroN, you got me mixed :-p [15:07] test3r, ok,.,.its a bit useless if im ethernet tho? [15:07] setting up Two interfaces gives u ability to create a "bridge" for folks [15:07] not always useless. depends ur situation [15:07] if i use ubuntu like admin, is egual to use it like root? [15:07] Ares, what wireless device do you have, integrated? [15:07] yes [15:08] opteroN, yes [15:08] * Bodsda goes back to hefty python book [15:08] opteroN, the chipset is a Ralink RT 2571WF [15:08] DivineSpectrum: yes and no [15:08] Ares, did it work upon first installation [15:08] opteroN, no [15:08] jack_sparrow..?? [15:09] Bodsda > I edited & improved a python script i found involving my iwconfig for connections [15:09] opteroN, i changed it to another driver and it would connect, but throw me offline in about 5 mins or less, and sometimes not work at all. When it disconnected me i would have to restart computer [15:09] DivineSpectrum: admin has admin rights, but does not automatically give you root user rights to all system files [15:09] is there a respin install image?

It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [16:18] u can do better than that dude [16:19] @ C_Kode [16:19] fish [16:19] Bodsda: and it works as you can see now :) but... before i remember that i tried different usb ports , and i put the dongle behind the pc (i used to connect it to the keyboard , 10cm from mouse) [16:19] ok thanks [16:19] Liono, linux will handle that perfectly [16:19] Tiven, aahhh,.,. there you go then,.,.well done [16:19] so that might help now !! might be the distance you said... i totally forgot i was using different port the last 2 days [16:19] anash: Learn how to use IRC [16:19] :) [16:19] I installed Warcraft 3 with wine, but it wont find the CD when i try to launch the game. Any one know of a fix for this? [16:19] we will see though..... seems good so far :) [16:19] thats why im here dude [16:19] Liono, why not have ten machines all running ubuntu? [16:20] Let these fine folks know what your problem is. [16:20] Bodsda, I try to access volume control and it says that I dont have Gstreamer installed [16:20] Whoa@ dabbill [16:20] but is it normal Bodsda ? it has distance of more than 4-5 metres. [16:20] dabbill, ask in #winehq also check appdb.winehq.org [16:20] Look at edubuntu - that uses an LTSP thin client system [16:20] Bodsda, probably will try doing that :P [16:20] ijusten, search synaptic for gstreamer [16:20] okay thanks [16:20] anash you have an actual question? [16:20] yes [16:21] i need info about the recent kernel exploit for ubuntu [16:21] oy [16:21] Tiven, its very normal,. consider that probably all of your ellectrical equipment enerates a small emp around them selves,. if things are too close,. they disrupt wireless signals [16:21] Dr`Maison rbil handle what perfectly.. i mean what exactly you recomend? what do i need [16:21] No he doesn't. He attempted to update his Unbuntu and it froze. Now it freezes everytime he attempts to update [16:21] Bodsda yes [16:21] Bodsda: alright i hope thats the problem !! still no lag :DDD [16:21] Ubuntu too [16:22] Liono, well, i doubt anyone in here, myself included, has much, if any, real-world experience of setting up that sort of system. to my mind, there are a lot of considerations. 1) if the server goes down, all connections are lost. 2) is the hardware cost of your mainframe and terminals lower, or even comparable to buying however many standalone machines? 3) do you have the skill required to diagnose and fix a problem immediately? time i [16:22] s money in this case - when the alternative would be to present a standby standalone in the event of a box going down [16:22] Bodsda but i have to buy 10 machines then. i was thinking to buy one good one. and make others as kvm clients [16:23] SleepingSloth clients = 10 [16:23] Liono, no,.,. all people would then be using the same machine, it will quickly get overfilled and extreme lag, and probably multiple people tryin to acces the same file type of probs,.,. youd have to spend alot to get a machine that could handle it [16:23] SleepingSloth iam new [16:23] Look at the linutop link i posted [16:23] Bodsda what if the server is a core 2 duo. [16:23] Liono: these guys offer a commercial solution, but you can put one together yourself. But they do explain what it can look like ... http://userful.com/ [16:23] Does Gnome-Power-management NEED Gnome-Screensaver to work properly ???

[16:25] Liono, even for web surfing, you still need a powerful central server for a thin client system. unless you have staff who can fix any problem dead quick, i personally would err on the side of caution, buy 11 or 12 bulk-discounted and identical cheap systems, create a base installation and ghost it - if you ever have a problem and a machine goes down, literally swap the boxes. then you have time to fix the problem, or if worse comes to [16:25] worst, you can just re-image the box. that is just my $0.02 - but try to think of worst case scenario, and how you would deal with it [16:25] this is #ubuntu--the friendly help channel ;] [16:25] Liono: Corey Burger, one of the authors of The Official Ubuntu Book, is involved with userful [16:26] Liono: you might want to contact him if you have questions [16:27] guys, when I type "uname -a" I get 2.6.22-14-generic, is that the newest kernel? [16:27] Liono: they setup these types of systems in public libraries all over North America [16:27] Bodsda solo SleepingSloth solar_george rbil - well actully i theoried that i would make one server. that will handle all clients. and open up mulitple cyber cafes. each client would only run. a browser, irc client. msn messenger . yahoo messenger. open office. and none else. each client would be given a ticket by some app. for one hour usage. after that one hour it would lock the screen. then another ticket. each ticket counts and i can collect the money at da [16:27] in order to easy to read, please come here help me, i have post my problem on here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=694643 [16:27] !offtopic | Liono [16:27] Liono: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

I unmount the windows partition, spent ten minutes fine tuning the partitions, click apply, it rescans the disks, which makes ubuntu auto mounts the windows partition, and then GParted can't resize it. [18:20] mehrab1131: should do [18:21] then reboot [18:21] i can get signals from networks but can't connect [18:21] Andeh: just unmount it [18:21] _Lucretia_, you can activate the needed repos and download them. What wireless are you trying to get connected anyway [18:21] ikonia: I did six times. Ubuntu insists it be mounted! [18:21] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: what happens when you try to connect? [18:21] s0u][ight, http://www.mediafire.com/?bqn8x4eancv extract the files in that to /lib/firmware then do: sudo modprobe bcm43xx [18:21] ikonia: did u work with it before? [18:21] Andeh: that doesn't sound right [18:21] yup [18:21] mehrab1131: I know many people who have installed it via the ubuntu package [18:21] first the icon changes into like trying to connect but then failes [18:21] doh...I have to get used to that sudo thing [18:21] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: i'm on a feisty machine with wireless working, but I need to do a reinstall (from scratch). the card is a wg311t I think [18:22] Andeh: umount the partitions under the feet of gparted (from a terminal) [18:22] s0u][ight, thats the firmware i always used with my bcm4311, but there may be better out there these days [18:22] just switched from openSUSE and this sudo thing is wierd [18:22] ikonia:is it just like using an xampp server? [18:22] <{Nathan}> _Lucretia_: is it a wg311v3? [18:22] hmmm did it work? the firmware? [18:22] erUSUL: Never mind, the problem was I was unmounting them from the terminal and from nautilus, it works if I do it from GParted [18:22] _Lucretia_, what version of ubuntu do you need them for [18:22] mehrab1131 no check out wordpress.org for details of how it all works [18:22] s0u][ight, always did for me before [18:22] s0u][ight are you on a HP dv* laptop? [18:22] no hp G5002ea [18:23] <_Lucretia_> {Nathan}: it doesn't really matter which card I have. what matters is that I need the madwifi-ng debs so I can install it without routing a cable around the house [18:23] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: gutsy [18:23] same difference basically [18:23] hmm :( [18:23] <{Nathan}> _Lucretia_: ah, okay. I didn't know what the problem was. You can just download them from the repos, packages.ubuntu.org. [18:23] _Lucretia_, then madwifi should have been installed by default if the card was detected [18:23] just trying it since 2 days but the best thing is i can get signals [18:24] s0u][ight, try the firmware i linked you, my bcm4311 always worked with it [18:24] what's the easiest language/toolkit to pick up? [18:24] hi all, I've just excluded my admin account from the log in list, how do i log in to it now? [18:24] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: I'm on fiesty, I want gutsy so I can install from dvd without a wired connection, get it now?

[18:25] Oh God, not qbasic. :P [18:25] then a simple modprobe bcm43xx as root installs it [18:25] tp__ the firmware should be part of the restricted drivers manager [18:25] tp__ don't have network connection in ubuntu [18:25] what keyboard layout is default on the ubuntu liveCD?

At least you didn't say visualbasic *puke* [18:27] s0u][ight, just google wl_apsta.o for the firmware [18:27] {Nathan}, I wrote too soon [18:27] you'll have to fwcutter it to get the driver out though [18:27] <{Nathan}> webwolf_27: actually, you'd be surprised at what you can do with freebasic.

[18:30] oh [18:30] Lartza_: iptables is the default ubuntu firewall [18:30] Lartza_: it's installed but doesn't start up or get configured by default [18:30] !firestarter | Lartza_ [18:30] Lartza_: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [18:30] so um, assuming the partition table is screwed up, how could I still recover the data on the hard disk? [18:31] Andeh: boot the livecd , mount the disk and copy if off [18:31] bye ikonia [18:31] is it on by default? === uk-male is now known as incorrect [18:31] how can i add allowed port? [18:31] ikonia: oh. cool. Um... it says I have 135 GB used... that's very bad, the partition was 100 GB before I resized to 150 [18:31] Lartza_: it's quite a complex setup [18:32] Lartza_: the firewall is %100 open by default [18:32] how can i disable the firewall? [18:32] Hm, I just noticed that I cant explore anything, if I dont right-click and choose "Open in a new window", otherwise File browser shuts down and restart in my home folder. Does anyone if this can be worked around? [18:32] ikonia: So um, I should just use dd to copy it? [18:32] Lartza_: you have to close things [18:32] Andeh: why dd ? just boot the livecd and mount it [18:32] Lartza_: there is no firewall enabled by default [18:32] how do I make beryl-manager start up when I start up my computer? [18:32] ikonia: oh [18:32] but ubuntu wont let me use some ports [18:32] hotmonkeyluv: beryl is dead, what version of ubuntu are you using [18:32] hotmonkeyluv, you remove beryl and install compiz-fusion [18:32] Lartza_: thats not ubuntu [18:32] or nat [18:32] firewall or nat [18:32] Lartza_: thats your router [18:32] ! [18:33] oh... [18:33] you mean my ADSL-modem?

[18:34] what should I select in the 7.10 install to override the 7.4 install [18:34] ikonia, Seveas: I'm using ubuntu 7.04 and I like beryl (more than the built in comiz crap ubuntu came with) [18:34] ikonia: PHEW! My files are all still there. How do I fix it? [18:34] and nat wont le me use 1234 or 8000 or 8303 [18:34] if its nat [18:34] hotmonkeyluv, upgrade to 7.10 for proper effects [18:34] Andeh: copy files off, resize disk, copy files on [18:34] I select the ext3 file system but it gives a error when I click forward [18:34] I select format [18:34] Seveas: can't [18:34] click forward [18:34] !enter | familyfriendly [18:34] ikonia: okay. though we're talking about 100 GB of files here.

[18:35] does the login screen somehow use a different keyboard layout? [18:35] Andeh: ok - so don't copy off and complete the resize at your own risk [18:35] this is really evil [18:35] david: shojldn't do [18:35] no root file system is defined [18:35] shoujldn't [18:35] shouldn't [18:35] Seveas: there is a bug that causes the window title bars to take up 1/4 of my screen [18:35] !thunderbird [18:35] Thunderbird is a free email client, capable of close cooperation with Firefox (both by the Mozilla Foundation).

[18:35] quite. [18:35] familyfriendly: you have to give it a mount point there should be a dropdown to set it as '/' [18:36] ikonia: No, I resized it, how do I get it to show up in gnudge? I deleted the linux partitions as well so i can install in 64 bit, should I just install into the free space and hope grub will find the windows partition? [18:36] ikonia: GRUB, not gnudge lol [18:36] _Lucretia_, sudo apt-get install [18:36] hi all [18:36] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: what does that do? [18:36] <_Lucretia_> oh hang ong [18:36] Andeh ahhh I see, well your in a bit of a jam then as the linux partition /boot contains the menu.lst so without it grub won't work [18:36] did anyone installed Sun Looking glass Desktop environment ? [18:37] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: ideally, I'd do an upgrade, but I stupidly created a /boot partition but it's not big enough to do the update [18:37] how would I go about recovering if I fuck up the install some how [18:37] !language | familyfriendly [18:37] familyfriendly: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

So if I just do that, it will find it? [18:37] familyfriendly: you can just boot again from livecd [18:37] _Lucretia_, how big is your /boot? [18:37] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: yeah, but (how many times?) I'm talking about a fresh install, where the only network adapter I have is wireless!!!!!! [18:37] ikonia: (I deleted all the linux partits on purpose, after backing up the home dir of course) [18:37] what about editing boot menu to include vista because it isnt picking it up like 7.4 [18:37] Andeh: if you install ubuntu again it will detect the windows partition and should write you a new menu.lst [18:38] _Lucretia_, how big is your /boot? [18:38] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: the /boot is a couple of meg, it was the first time I installed linux on a 64-bit [18:38] <_Lucretia_> it was big enough for 32-bit just not for 64 [18:38] unagi: your resolution issue fixed? [18:38] ikonia: Okay, thanks! Can you give a plausible explanation for 135 GB being used after resizing the partition, though? It used to be 100 GB total size! [18:38] i try to install Sun Looking glass desktop environment and i get the fallow error http://pastebin.ca/900437 [18:38] _Lucretia_, you could unmount /boot before the install, but becareful [18:38] Andeh exteneded partition ? the resize borked so it doesn't know the real size ? [18:38] meh installing now hope it works fine [18:39] _Lucretia_, sorry before the upgrade [18:39] <_Lucretia_> yeha [18:39] ikonia: Uh... it's NTFS, and it resized it to 150 GB as I wanted, but now it says 135 GB of that is used! [18:39] <_Lucretia_> what about merging the partitions? possible? [18:39] I'm getting the error "The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly, can someone help me correct this? [18:39] anyone know a good website with linux apps put into categories and such [18:39] Andeh: probably just ubuntu not knowing the state of the disk [18:40] I installed wordpress from the respiratory, now how should I use it?

[18:42] oh, one more question while I'm here: I'm reinstalling ubuntu now, but in my old install, the login screen resolution would be fine, as when I logged in, it would go down to just one lower setting, and I could turn it back up, but it reset to the lower one each time [18:42] hotmonkeyluv, no, you need to upgrade to 7.10 [18:42] Seveas: I do find compiz, and compiz-extras [18:43] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: any thoughts on how I can get the required debs easily (including dependencies) using apt (for gutsy) from feisty? [18:43] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: so I can burn a cd with em on [18:43] any help? [18:43] Seveas: is it simple/possible/easy to downgrade back to 7.04 if the upgrade mucks up?

[18:45] ttt--, compiz, it's installed by default [18:45] ttt--, system -> preferences -> appeareance -> desktop effects [18:45] _Lucretia_, an upgrade would be easier, but you'd have to do something about /boot [18:45] ok thanks [18:45] ikonia: Ive installed wordpress, but now how should I start with it? [18:45] I'm looking for any tip about netbooting the live cd. I'm not talking about the standard netinstall, I want to load vmlinuz, initrd.gz AND filesystem.squashfs via tftp. Can anyone tell me how to do that ? [18:45] _Lucretia_, 150MB should be enough [18:45] nickrud: you here? [18:45] !wordpress > ikonia [18:46] 59% done fingers crossed [18:46] May the live system get the squashfs image form anything else than a cd-rom (tftp, nfs, http) [18:46] ? [18:46] chiwawa_42, you have to modify the initramfs scripts to grab filesystem.squashfs via tftp [18:46] mehrab1131: you have to browse to where it was installed on your localhost via a browser and follow the install guide [18:46] when I enter the mount points in the installer do I need a trailing slash? [18:46] chiwawa_42, it's not impossible but you need to know what you're doing and it's way beyond what this channel can help you with :) [18:46] ikonia: Ive asked others but no answer [18:47] mehrab1131: you have to browse to where it was installed on your localhost via a browser and follow the install guide [18:47] Andeh, you don't need them but they won't break things [18:47] Seveas: there is on desktop effects in that menu :/ [18:47] ttt--, that'll do [18:47] Anyone know what could be wrong when every directory I click makes file browser crash and restart in my home folder? Getting quite annoyed by rightclicking -> open in a new window :( [18:47] Seveas: thanks, that' what I was guessing about [18:47] ttt--, the meny says 'Appearance'. The appearance applet has a 'desktop effects' tab [18:48] let's find out what to edit there... [18:48] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: this is the right package for x86_64 right? linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-generic [18:48] um... if I import accounts, does it copy over all my files? [18:48] nathan64: I'm here, but pretty busy at work right this minute [18:48] _Lucretia_, just a sec, I'll check [18:48] Seveas: mine doesnt seem to have one [18:49] chiwawa_42, dpkg -L initramfs-tools, you'll need to edit the main startup script to support grabbing-squashfs-over-tftp (it might be possible in an initramfs hook even, but I'm not sure) [18:49] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: I'm surprised it's not called linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-x86_64, like the i386 version is linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-i386 [18:49] ttt--, which version of ubuntu? [18:49] nickrud: I just wanted to tell you that i got my ubuntu working. updating the kernel wasnt the only thing i had to do, I also had to flash my bios to the most recent version [18:49] Linux version 2.6.22-14-generic (buildd@terranova) (gcc version 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)) #1 SMP Fri Feb 1 04:59:50 UTC 2008 [18:49] Linux version 2.6.22-14-generic (buildd@terranova) (gcc version 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)) #1 SMP Fri Feb 1 04:59:50 UTC 2008 [18:49] Hm, any way I can make a startup script for XChat? [18:49] unagi: you get the resolution problem fixed? [18:49] nathan64: there's always something :) Glad you got it set up [18:50] it's got a visual effects tab [18:50] Seveas: I have no ubuntu system running yet, therefore was thinking of manual edit, like a gzcat initramfs.gz | cp, and so on [18:50] no [18:50] So, after doing that: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/AcerTravelmate6292 , I have out-box sound, but at TravelMate 5710 ;D. Thx :). [18:50] i swear to god if i have to reinstall ubuntu just to fix my resolution, im done with linux [18:50] hi! how do i encode to AAC with the Ubuntu version of ffmpeg? [18:50] nickrud: I had to do some research, found out my dell has had problems with linux for a longgg time [18:50] <{Nathan}> unagi: you don't [18:50] _Lucretia_, I think generic is installed by default now. Can you send me the result of uname -r on then 64 bit machine [18:50] chiwawa_42, that's much harder than installing ubuntu, tweaking the initramfs scripts and building a custom initramfs. Your choice though :) [18:51] nothing else has seemed to work {Nathan} [18:51] unagi are the nvidia restricted drivers showing as installed? [18:51] yes and running [18:51] <{Nathan}> unagi: are you sure you have the right drivers? [18:51] and nvidia-settings runs [18:51] ......i guess [18:51] Seveas: the netinstall is broken and I have no blank CD left.. and some time to waste :p [18:51] and nvidia settings didnt fix it? [18:51] <{Nathan}> unagi: what happens when you change your resolution in nvidia-settings [18:51] chiwawa_42, :D [18:51] i imagine it will change to whatever i select, but 1440 x 900 isnt listed [18:52] ttt--, ah, it's called 'Visual effects', not 'desktop effects' :) [18:52] Hi. I have 4 GB of ram, and I'm running the x64 livecd. Should it show up as 2.9? [18:52] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: 2.6.20-16-generic [18:52] which model do you have again? [18:52] _Lucretia_, that's feisty -- kernel naming scheme changed in gutsy [18:52] sv6000t [18:52] <_Lucretia_> Seveas: yeah, but i don't have gutsy installed [18:52] dv6000t [18:52] _Lucretia_, then you need the generic [18:52] hello, im not able to open any video file using mplayer. even when i open it with totem, the picture is jagged and not clear. But if i log out and log in again, it becomes normal. mplayer in terminal shows that it is not able to find free xvideo port and some other application might be using it. what should i do? [18:52] Seveas: do you know about any exhaustive doc about avaible hooks in the livecd' initramfs ? [18:53] chiwawa_42, the sourcecode. [18:53] Seveas: how do i make the cube rotate? [18:53] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: see my comment to Seveas to see if that makes a difference [18:53] ttt--: Press the middle mouse button on the desktop. [18:53] ttt--, install compizconfig-settings-manager, that gives you an 'Advanced' button on that tab for maximum tweaking [18:53] Seveas: got it... It may be long and painfull [18:53] oh thanks [18:53] Andeh: when you run ubuntu is run from the LiveCD, it will store a copy of ubuntu in RAM. when you run Ubuntu from your harddisk, this is not necessary. [18:53] I have 4 GB ram. Why does it only show up as 3GB in the BIOS? [18:54] unagi look on the bottom sticker, there may be an additional model number dv6010 or something [18:54] _Lucretia_, on feisty you don't want the 2.6.22 kernels anyway [18:54] its dv6000 [18:54] _Lucretia_, in order to use linux-restricted-mudules- you need linux-image- installed [18:54] Andeh, either your bios supports no more or has some compatibility flags set that hide the 4th gb [18:54] <_Lucretia_> Seveas: I'm trying to get enough packages ready for an upgrade to gutsy, but i need the wireless drivers so i can actually get online [18:54] Andeh: the slot you put the memory in may affect your results. [18:54] ok.. I was curious because mine says dv9000 then in another spot on the sticker it says dv9620us [18:54] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: yeah, i know that [18:55] magnetron: I have 4 slots, each filled with a 1 GB card. [18:55] <_Lucretia_> is anyone actually reading what I'm typing here?

Sorry if I wasn't much help [18:55] Andeh: not all the same speed? DDR type? [18:55] magnetron: All identical. DDR2 [18:55] i am curious, why when i drag my windows is it choppy, like it's tearing? [18:56] Andeh: you may have damaged it. run memtest from the grub menu. [18:56] Seveas: do you know if the live ernel has nfs_root enable ? [18:56] <_Lucretia_> Seveas: nah, didn't do anything [18:56] chiwawa_42, it has not [18:56] magnetron: Okay, I will. I'm installing ubuntu right now actually. [18:56] _Lucretia_, you need to point your /etc/apt/sources.list to gutsy first :) [18:56] was just wondering :D [18:57] what is gutsy [18:57] oh. The Ubuntu installer said it needed to unmount the /migrationassistant or something, so I told it to go back and try again, and now it's gone. The installer is gone.

The 2950 has a Perf 5/i Raid controller, though I've deleted all of the virtual disks, so that I can use software raid. Problem is that the ubuntu setup does not detect any disks.

[19:19] Andeh: Are you repairing the MBR or gonna fresh install? [19:19] Okay [19:19] Crusader_Tech, hardware is not the issue on 64 bit linux machines, the main problem is flash and java, although they are really pretty good these days i afaik [19:19] Andeh: fixmbr will get you working windows [19:19] do any of your OS's boot up?

Are they both installed on the same hard drive? [19:21] Andeh, put a windows install disk in your drive, boot it like you were going to install windows, but enter the recovery console when prompted to, when you get to a command line type: fixmbr === eth01 is now known as Dr_Eth01 [19:21] tritium: wtf [19:21] Andeh: See also /msg ubotu grub [19:21] does anyone know how to play dss files (a bit like wav but proprietary format (olympus)) on ubuntu? [19:21] tritium: ah... ok thanks [19:21] tritium: but how to see it *before* downloading [19:21] or rather, before installing [19:21] MasterShrek: i am trying to encode mpeg-4 files with ffmpeg, but somehow ubuntu removed the AAC support in it. so now i cannot convert videos to watch with my smartphone. [19:21] i'm using some kde application on ubuntu (kpovmodeler for exemple), ALL kde application on my ubuntu freeze and have a lot of refresh problems [19:21] Andeh: Fixmbr will fix WIndows to boot, but you won't be able to boot into Ubuntu. [19:21] hah.. [19:21] it must be a Vsync issue, [19:22] loginscreen DOES have a different keyboard layout than system [19:22] magnetron, sudo apt-get install faac maybe help you? [19:22] i am at 59hZ [19:22] ive got ubuntu on my laptop, and if im using it for "normal" tasks and dont use it as a server (this all with the assumption that i'm not a moron), is there any need for installing stuff like firestarter or is iptables enough? [19:22] i cant even run kate kdiff3 (just for test), kdevelop also .. well all kde app freeze === Dr_Eth01 is now known as eth01 [19:22] evil [19:22] hi - i have a problem with screen on ubuntu. In ssh everything works fine, but when I start screen my terminal settings are messed up (backspace doesn't work, but ^H erases) and I don't know how to remap it. Where does screen get it's terminal settings and how can I make it work the same as a normal ssh login? [19:22] LimCore: look at the apt-listchanges package [19:22] linduxed: Not really. [19:22] hi can anyone help...i'm new to ubuntu and i'm trying to repackage my kernal to get bthe touch screen working on my tablet aftewr i got fed up with windows? [19:22] no wonder the passwords didn't work [19:22] linduxed: std iptables are enough [19:22] <_elemental> is there anyway for me on linux to connect to a windows netmeeting session? [19:22] Guerra: Up until 15 minutes ago I had Windows XP and Ubuntu, then I wanted to make the WinXP partition a bit bigger and reinstall Ubuntu as 64 bit, but everything messed up and now I have the working resized windows partition except grub gives error 17 on bootup. Ubuntu installer died 99% of the way through, leaving me with the old broken GRUB. [19:22] atleast it's the only conclusion I can come up with [19:23] MasterShrek: tried it, didn't help. ffmpeg says aac is a "unsupported format" even when the man page says ffmpeg supports aac [19:23] Guerra: Jack_Sparrow: thats what i thought, thanks [19:23] ok i'm having a sound issue on my Inspiron 1420 [19:23] Andeh: Okay. Do the fixmbr thing with a windows boot disk. You'll be able to boot into XP. Then just reinstall Ubuntu and install the GRUB. [19:23] [Q] Is there a list of linux programs equizelent to windows ones to help me move over? [19:23] magnetron, if i remember correctly, ffmpeg has to be compiled with aac support, apparently the ubuntu package of it wasnt compiled in such a fashion [19:24] Andeh: You have to do fixmbr in the DOS command line. [19:24] Guerra: That's great, Where do I get a windows boot disk? [19:24] Whoa. That's so cool. My laptop just slowly faded when I wasn't using it. Sexxxy. [19:24] wtf this chat room is frantic.. [19:24] MasterShrek: that sux. should i contact the package maintainer? [19:24] Andeh: Use your XP cd. [19:24] magnetron, have you added the medibuntu repositories? its possible the ffmpeg package in there has aac support [19:24] www.bootdisk.com [19:24] would it create any problems if i uninstalled preinstalled programs in ubuntu? for example, since i use thunderbird, can i just remove evolution without any consequences? [19:24] can someone point me to what LTS (Long Term Support) exactly means??! [19:24] Guerra: I know. I don't have it. Any other options? [19:24] MasterShrek: nice idea. thx, i'll try it [19:24] !wtf | samsonite [19:24] samsonite: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[19:25] ok ok but its all abit much i just want some help [19:25] Guerra: Tried it. Link works! Which one do I need? [19:25] projektdotnet: Which sound card? [19:25] auli, versions without LTS are only supported before the next one comes out [19:25] guerra: hold on lemmie grab lspci output [19:25] !ask | samsonite (do it all in one line and sit back) [19:25] samsonite (do it all in one line and sit back): Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [19:25] Andeh: Any of them that will boot into DOS. [19:26] auli: it means security and major bug fixes. Not necessarily newer versions... [19:26] tritium: thanks [19:26] [Q] Is there a list of linux programs equizelent to windows ones to help me move over? [19:26] ok [19:26] so [19:26] samsonite: I understand you want ubuntu on your tablet... but I have not seen many people get those functioning correctly [19:26] !repeat | auli [19:26] auli: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[19:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about hda - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:27] Andeh: Not really. You just have to configure the GRUB. [19:27] Guerra, doubltful hell have to install a driver for it [19:27] is using 7.10 on a machine with 256 MB ram advisable? (got it) would anybody suggest using 6.06 instead? the purpose is office work only [19:27] Guerra: How would I do that? [19:27] bebraw: got a bit of a list, didnt want to spam it all [19:27] Andeh: If you read the link I gave you eralier it tells how to reinstall just the grub and mbr [19:27] !hdaintel | projektdotnet [19:27] projektdotnet: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [19:27] guerra: yes it has been working just fine for the past few months but randomly stops responding to any sound programs [19:27] Andeh: I love the GRUB. It is yummy. It gives you the options to configure it usually. Sometimes it just autodetects. XP is pretty good at being detected. VISTA is a pain. [19:27] i have ubuntu functioning up to a point on my LG C1 express duo... i just dont understand the ubuntuforums terminal window prompts [19:28] the grub didn't like XFS :P [19:28] auli, I would suggest that another 256megs of ram would make it much more functional, and I would use 7.10 on that [19:28] Andeh: You know how horrible it was setting up triple boot for Ubuntu, XP and Vista? God... [19:28] lol [19:28] then again, question would be why you'd try it with XFS :) [19:28] It was the most insane procedure, ever. [19:28] ompaul: my situation is such that i can not procure more RAM... these are for many lab PCs [19:28] solexious, if you google using phrase windows linux equivalent you get some [19:28] it was like, install vista, install ubuntu, install XP, reinstall ubuntu. [19:29] Piece of garbage vista. only use it for Crysis. [19:29] solexious, http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Linux_software_equivalent_to_Windows_software seems ok to me [19:29] auli: vm swappiness 100? then just go through the services usage [19:29] Jack_Sparrow: So you're saying I either need to download the 600 MB alternate install CD, or a grub boot disk? I mean I'm on the liveCD right now, can't I do it from here?! [19:29] projektdotnet: Hmmm... [19:29] ompaul: I've heard that 7.10 is a (tad bit) slow :) .. the machines presently have FC2 [19:29] i've even gone to root user. now i'm lost [19:29] Andeh: Sure you can. [19:29] partition it correctly before installing any of the three, and you should be able to just install one after another (ubuntu last of course) [19:29] Andeh: I am saying read the link on grub [19:29] auli-> then try xubuntu [19:29] Never mind lol [19:29] Andeh: I NEVER said anything about the alt cd [19:30] auli, then what I would do is this, install the full o/s on it, and turn off X and give one box the job of being a server and have it serve out "xdmcp"; on the client end you script up "X :0 -query serverName" this will allow you beef up a couple of the boxes so they act as servers [19:30] kahrytan: we will mostly have people less familiar with linux working on them [19:30] MasterShrek: I wish. Trust me it wasn't that easy. The problem is that VISTA won't boot if it detects another OS. Which is quite tricky [19:30] guerra: it works fine it just randomly doesn't respond to sound requests anymore and to fix it I have to restart (ctrl+alt+backspace) to get it to respond again [19:30] I use a laptop with an external monitor. Some apps (ie. Firefox) maximize to the laptop screen size - any way to fix that? [19:30] Jack_Sparrow: The link does. Never mind. What does this mean? Error 21: Selected disk does not exist [19:30] sometimes vista will auto delete GRUB and do a fixmbr by it's own. [19:30] hate vista. [19:30] auli-> So. Xubuntu uses xfce instead of genome. [19:30] It does, I mounted it two seconds ago [19:31] Andeh: That happened to me. I have a forum post about it somewhere. THAT exact error. One sec lemme find it [19:31] kahrytan: i'll do that one machine and get some feedback from users [19:31] kahrytan, yes, but its gnome not genome :) [19:31] MasterShrek-> doh [19:31] does anyone know how to use umask? i set it to 002, to allow new created files/folders to have 775 permissions. ufnortunately the new files it is creating are still coming out as 755 [19:31] ompaul: that makes sense but requires a lot of effort? we don't have a machine that can handle jobs from say 5 machines.. [19:31] magically, umask has somehow set itself back to 022 [19:31] auli-> or try all 3 live cds and find out which runs best [19:31] how do ubuntu kernel sources, because one my applications is failing to compile, because it can't find the linux sources?

First boot into dos and type fixmbr so windows will boot. Then reinstall UBUNTU and GRUB [19:38] have you tried xmms bodsda?

Doesn't anyone in this room know how to reinstall grub? [19:39] err..audacious...heh [19:39] wait, can amarok handle mpeg and mp4? [19:39] xmms is no longer being developed or maintained for debian / ubuntu [19:39] xmms is small and limited [19:39] audacious rocks! [19:40] you need big and complex for music? [19:40] audacious uses new library [19:40] ???

[19:40] boogz, i like my gui apps,.,.;~) [19:40] I have a v210 with fresh install of ubuntu that thhe nics don't work [19:41] <_Oz_> what does everyone use to burn DVD-R movies in ubuntu? [19:41] whatever is standard === Clinteger is now known as tez [19:41] Is something going on with the apt servers? I'm getting really slow download rates, trying to installthe restricted drivers. [19:41] <_Oz_> I use DeVeDe and gnomebaker and the result was movies that were choppy and had bad sound [19:41] <_Oz_> is there something more reliable? [19:41] _Oz_, wine-->Nero [19:41] puff, try to use near mirror :) [19:41] _Oz_: I haven't burned a movie with it, but so far I've been happiest with Brasero. [19:41] <_Oz_> bodsda: ah, I use nero in XP. It runs well in wine? [19:42] Brasero is nice [19:42] piju: How do I do that? [19:42] _Oz_, runs better then my xp one,yer [19:42] <_Oz_> I'm writing to an external USB dvd-rom [19:42] thats fine [19:42] <_Oz_> ok [19:42] puff, open synaptics pkg manager [19:42] http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/drinks/A273/ :D [19:42] Andeh: Okay I figured something out. What kind of hard drive(s) do you have? How big are they and are both OS's on the same HDD? [19:42] _Oz_, you can use k3b or gnomebaker if you want [19:42] _Oz_, you can't write to DVD-ROM [19:42] Is there any way to force nautilus to preserve timestamps when copying? Or some other GUI way of preserving things? [19:42] if im on a network and 1 computer is windows and im using ubuntu. how can i access to the files there and use them ? [19:42] <_Oz_> are there any known issues with why DeVeDe and/or gnomebaker would choke on xViD or DivX movies? [19:42] liran, use samba [19:42] OK, I'm getting pissed. I need to get resolv.conf to point to my local bind9 installation, and *not* get rewritten on reboot. Apparently, resolv.conf is being rewritten by resolvconf, which works through Avahi. But Avahi doesn't have the appropriate settings. What am I missing? [19:42] piju: Can I do it with aptitude? [19:42] <_Oz_> can't write to dvd-rom? huh, drebellion? [19:43] puff, just edit ur /etc/apt/source.list [19:43] Guerra: One sata drive. 300 GB. There is only windows left now. [19:43] piju, can u send me a guide how to use it please ?

I actually had to install all three of my OS's on a primary IDE because I was having issues with my SATA being detected. [19:44] Guerra: Mine gets detected fine. How do I tell grub to reinstall? [19:44] shortcircuit: add a line to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf that says: prepend domain-name-servers ip.ad.dd.r, ip.ad.d.r; [19:44] I'm trying to install Ubuntu but it hangs during the discovery of network hardware as there aren't drivers for the RTL8139 on the install cd, so I can't get past that point. Is there any way I can install ubuntu, or another distro that has the drivers? :S [19:44] sudo update-grub or something like [19:44] Andeh: Before you install GRUB, boot to DOS, type fixmbr so windows will boot, boot into windows, make sure its fine and dandy [19:44] Andeh: then reinstall Ubuntu [19:45] Andeh: and it'll do GRUB for ya [19:45] liran, try google it :) [19:45] <_Oz_> any special instructions for installing nero under wine? [19:45] Pici: I already added "prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1" yesterday, to try to get it to point to my localhost bind. [19:45] any girls here ? [19:45] hi to all [19:45] Dude, NERO is crap. Use a better open source program for ripping and burning. [19:45] piju: Please don't. This is a support channel. [19:45] Guerra: next time, boot live cd and at start or install hit F6 then before the -- on the command line add noapic and acpi=off and see if the sata dont show up [19:45] Guerra: Just did that. It got stuck around 99%, told me to close anything that might be using /migrationassistant then press continue, so I pressed continue then it dissapeared and never came back, so then I came here and started talking with you/ [19:46] Pici, just kidding ;) [19:46] guerra you look like a helpful soul, help a ningcompoop like me if u can [19:46] ls [19:46] <_elemental> ok, Ekiga doesn't appear to be able to share the desktop, is there a netmeeting equivilant that allows us to share the desktop?

[19:46] <_elemental> no no [19:46] Andeh: Download and burn the alternate iso, and make sure it's from a torrent. You get better file stability. [19:46] I have a v210 with fresh install of ubuntu that thhe nics don't work [19:46] Pici: The problem is that I've set up a VPN for work, and I need bind9 to get access to the work hostnames.

[19:47] _elemental: Ekiga is the quintessential NetMeeting equivalent. You might want to suggest the feature to them. [19:47] Guerra: Can you just give me the darn command to reinstall grub already?! [19:48] Guerra: fglrx right [19:48] !grub > Andeh (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [19:48] Can anyone help me with sparc? [19:48] Andeh: Dude, I don't know the command.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [19:51] piju: I am busy atm [19:51] Jack_Sparrow really TnX a lot :) [19:51] np Welcome to ubuntu [19:51] does anyone know a fix for the problem of gnumeric and OOspreadsheet crashing when i save? both of them just close when i save (thus not saving any changes), OO goes to document recovery [19:52] Jack_Sparrow, nvm [19:52] boris_: I am never, never, never going to buy ATI ever again. I trusted them and bought this piece of crap 2900 PRO when I should have got a 8800 GT. [19:52] Can anyone help me with sparc? [19:52] so has anyone heard about this new kernel exploit? [19:52] ! ask | vipaca [19:52] vipaca: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [19:52] That's what happens when I buy Canadian instead of buying what's good. Piece of crap ATI. EGH [19:52] anybody know why ubuntu still does that "drum roll" sound when i login, even though i've disabled all system sounds...? [19:52] Guerra: i got HD2600 Pro. had to put back Radeon 9550. [19:52] Jack_Sparrow can you help me fix my nic problem? [19:52] Is there a GUIfied way to copy files and preserve timestamps? [19:52] just out of curiousity, how is it ATI's problem if you bought the wrong card? [19:53] Guerra: what was the problem ? card's strenght or drivers ? [19:53] well when I plug in the cables no lights turn on [19:53] akorn: you have to disable that in the gdm settings [19:53] piju: Hm, changed to us.archive.ubuntu.com and now it seems to not be able to find anything. [19:53] when I type ifconfig I see eth0 [19:53] Guerra: Here are my notes on getting ati to work.. read through and ask any questions that come up http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55785/ [19:53] akorn: system - administration - login window [19:53] puff, try archive.ubuntu.com [19:53] testing irssi...ignore [19:54] is it possible that the driver is wrong? [19:54] boogz: try ##testing for testing. [19:54] boris_: Dude, seriously, it's so annoying. The worst thing about ATI is they make the same card and give it two different names and price points. You know what the difference is between the 2900 pro and the XT? The box and the price. You can flash the 2900 pro to be EXACTLY like the XT. [19:54] kk [19:54] puff, i think everybody is updating to a new kernel, so the server is bz now [19:54] anyone? [19:54] vipaca: what are the results of your ifconfig? [19:54] Jack_Sparrow: Appreciated. [19:54] linduxed THANK YOU [19:54] is there an german helpchannel?

They are garbage. Waste of money. [19:55] chaosrl: cant help you on that one, try googling it, as well as asking at another time [19:55] Guerra: I have a 7500 radeon here that works great.. :) [19:55] http://pastie.caboo.se/151103 [19:55] mzanfardino: Doesn't matter which one I buy. 3850, 3870, 2900, 2600, 1950, they all suck compared to Nvidia in quality, drivers, support, warranty and pricing. [19:55] Guerra: there's difference between being angry on card's strenght or being angry on drivers. I'm angry on drivers, you are angry on card's strenght [19:55] linduxed: thanks, google isn't yielding much as of now. i might try the forums, i guess [19:55] Jack_Sparrow: That thing is medieval, no offence. [19:56] Guerra: sounds like a strong opinion, yes, but a bit thin on facts. nm though, if it's a personal preference issue, stick with it. [19:56] Jack_Sparrow: When I pay 300 for a card, I want quality. [19:56] chaosrl: forums i think is always the best solution [19:56] Guerra you should use craigslist ;) [19:56] 0000:00:02.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet [19:56] 0000:00:02.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet [19:56] hey [19:56] jestu [19:56] mzanfardino: It's fact that ATI drivers suck. It's fact that on the high end, Nvidia is better. The only thing ATI cards are good for is for watching HD movies on WINDOWS. [19:56] jakis [19:56] !offtopic [19:56] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

[19:57] anyone know what's in the new linux image? [19:57] vipaca: is there a particular card you are having issues with? [19:57] ubotu please guide me to a beginners room [19:57] Guerra: Understood.. but please stay on topic to get help and aloow others to do the same [19:57] !my | piju [19:57] this is the result of lspci [19:57] Jack_Sparrow: I still have a PCI AIW 7500 I'm fond of :) [19:57] Guerra: strange. i was able to play Crysis on low settings with HD2600pro. on windoze, of course [19:58] ATI/AMD should learn to support their cards. Their whole "we are penguin friendly" is a hoax. Pure garbage. Jack_Sparrow: Do you have any experience with the 2900 pro/xt on linux? [19:58] i am having a issue getting a second HDD i installed and partioned mounted and showing up as a drive under compter any ideas? [19:58] Jack_Sparrow: or perhaps HD2600Pro [19:58] ? [19:58] boris_: Yeah of course, but even a 7600 GT could do that, and get better performance. [19:58] Guerra: Sorry, I am smarter than that... Big Teasing Grin... [19:58] For some reason there are certain apps in gnome that won't work .... or lag.... kinda like they not refresh when I run them. When I combine Rhythmbox with Amsn, this happens... they get white with borders but no content. I installed KDE recentlly, has this something to do. Is there a way to reset gnome? [19:58] For anyone interested, I solved my problem with vi. Apparantly there is a filename completion when you open a file with :e, but it doesn't give you a bash-style menu if there are several completions that match what you currently have typed. For a bash-style completion you'll need to use ":set wildmode=longest,list" which will tab to the longest unique completion, and provide a list on the... [19:58] ...next tab. Happy vimming. [19:59] nhyu: Are you running kde4? [19:59] given no lights when I plug it in I would think driver error. [19:59] Guerra: the problem is, i live in a small country and have AGP. so there isnt really big choice of cards [19:59] I had consumer loyalty to ATI because I loved my x800 card and I wanted to buy Canadian. I just recently put Ubuntu on, just a few months ago. I had ran RedHat and SuSe before though [19:59] Is the 'Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet' supported [19:59] ffs hellllllllllllllllllllllp [19:59] Jack_Sparrow: I'm not sure if it was 4 .. though it had Dolphin, it was the KDE in the repositories [19:59] !helpme | sam1_ [19:59] sam1_: 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 [20:00] boris_: I understand. I live in Canada, the freaking country that makes ATI and I hate them. Haha. Next card will be an Nvidia. [20:00] vipaca: have you tried the restricted driver installer? [20:00] Jack_Sparrow and Guerra : http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=941 [20:00] hello, my laptops built-in trackpoint/pad have quit moving the mouse, but external usb mouse does. Is there a kernel module I could reload? What can I look at to try to understand where the problem is coming from? [20:00] ubotoisaschool marm [20:00] boogz: no whats this? [20:00] sam1_: ubotu is a bot. [20:01] Guerra you're a bit stuck though if the only laptop you could lay your hands on had ATI inside it like i was. really annoyed at that, but couldn't get out of it. [20:01] nhyu: You might get better answers in #Kubuntu or #Kubuntu-kde4 [20:01] thx 4 your ehlp. [20:01] does this seem like a driver issie to you all or am I making that up? [20:01] help [20:01] Jack_Sparrow: [20:01] ok thanks [20:01] its been bery revealing\ [20:01] sam1_: No one is going to help you if you dont ask a question. [20:01] i did [20:01] squeaks: id think just xorg [20:01] sam1_: Well you may need to ask again. [20:01] once agon [20:02] Lettuc3: No, my laptop runs beautifully, it's my desktop that I have issues with. The ATI 2900 PRO is about the size of my laptop... [20:02] It's gargantuan. [20:02] sam1_: Please ask your question.. all on one line.. as complete as possible [20:02] I have a silly question. What is Beryl? Is it a version of Ubuntu? Or is it a graphical mod like Compiz Fusion? [20:03] Guerra: Its the previous name of Compiz-Fusion [20:03] Guerra, it is the old name for compiz fusion [20:03] I have a customer who overwrote /sbin/modprobe with the install command... They have no ubuntu CD's is there anywhere that I can download that utility to replace teh existing? [20:03] !beryl | Guerra [20:03] Guerra: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [20:03] Ahh [20:03] Guerra having said that, i didn't have any issues installing the drivers, but they do look bleak, and there are things that are terribly buggy or nonexistant. [20:03] Thanks mate. [20:03] beryl = compiz fusion [20:03] Appreciated guys. [20:03] Guerra it's a compositing window-manager. There was compiz, then a fork, beryl, then they merged together and became compiz fusion. at least that's my understanding of it. [20:03] Guerra: Hope those notes help [20:04] i have an lg C1 and i'm trying to install a driver for the touch screent o work. the rest is running fine. I just need help with these instructions http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4296576 [20:04] compiz rocks [20:04] There is one effect that I saw on a youtube video, two actually, one of them where when you close your window, it kinda warps into the lower bar, the 2nd one is when you close it, it kinda fizzles out.

It then loads to either of the following:telling me it's loading into low-graphics mode and asks me what to doOR loads to login screen wi [20:54] So basically I am lost as to what to do.

[21:21] stupid question: how use email alias in Evolution mail client? [21:21] imagine: if you use dns name instead of ip addresses, you could setup your local dns to point localy on the server. And when you are outside - well the dns points to the external ip address. [21:22] what package installs something to /lib/modules/2.6.24-7-generic/build ?

It will however not work on my soundcard that uses the module snd_ice1724 (it does not recognize any output device). Any ideas why?

[21:30] MrTHaggar: don't ask to ask, just ask :) [21:30] CarlFK: check the instrucionts did it tell you to do "make modules" ? [21:30] How can I have terminal commands be used on startup? [21:30] Ok :) [21:30] david08: tremulous is better imo i dont like quake much because its so frenetic and there is not time to work together or anything [21:30] CarlFK: where did that makefile come from ? [21:30] ikonia: no. [21:30] anyone know if there is a way to get ubuntu server working with virtualbox, or perhaps a appliance I can download for this? Id like to stick with vbox instead of vmware [21:30] pike_: see, i like the frenetic i found in quake, tremolous is the one with aliens ecc? [21:30] CarlFK: so what did the "make modules" command [21:31] Well I used the entire hard disk for my Ubuntu partition, but I need to resize it to add a partition for windows, but gparted won't let me resize the partition.

[21:31] david08: yes. [21:31] ikonia: is that a question? [21:31] Is it possible I got a bad disk to install from? [21:31] badkitty: yeah you can go and download the server version of ubuntu mount it as a iso and and run it/install it [21:31] i guess [21:31] i cant join the irc'server "rezosup" ! [21:31] brb [21:31] When i try to install elisa i run in the follwoing error in synaptic: " Could not mark all packages for installation or upgrades, the following packages have unresolvable independencies" Where can i mark all the repositories to be added? [21:31] hey people, i've just got a VPS with ubuntu installed and I'm having probs connecting remotely to it's mysql database... what can I do to find out whether the server has a firewall? thanks [21:31] Henkel, some of us can read that [21:32] pike_: then i already tried it a few years ago and didnt like it [21:32] you said "Hi, girls" [21:32] I've tried booting from the live cd also, but I still can't resize the partition in that either. [21:32] Does anyone here have a good grasp of filesystems? [21:32] thewestlaker: have you installed a firewall [21:32] MtTHaggar: I'd recommend installing windows with VirtualBox and use seemless mode allowing you do use both opperating systems at once. [21:32] I have a question. [21:32] rofl Ackdar [21:32] ikonia: nope, its a default config [21:32] mastermel, try apt-get install -f [21:32] Ackdar: I think ubuntu has iptables/netfiter by default [21:32] thewestlaker: then it doesn't have a firewall [21:32] popular media player advice please (not-totem,vlc,xmms,divx,amarok){must play mp3 and mp4 mpeg} [21:32] whoops. [21:32] Flare183, I tried that a couple weeks ago and I get major errors.. i read on a few websites saying that there isn't support for the server packages, but I also hear its possible [21:32] Starnestommy: it's not enabled by default [21:32] If I have a SD card, and want to put videos on it, and that's really it. I hear squashfs can condence the size a whole lot, and allow for a lot more on there? IS THIS TRUE? [21:32] Spootman, can you shed some light on how I do that, do I just install virtualbox and use that? [21:32] Starnestommy, huh? [21:33] i'm back [21:33] ikonia: ok cool, so it could be the hosting company blocking the port i need to access? [21:33] but Ackdar, can you explain me so? [21:33] hey all [21:33] silentassumption: thnx i will try it.. but what does that command do? [21:33] Ackdar: got the wrong person, sorry [21:33] thewestlaker: most probably [21:33] badkitty: hmm weird can't help further sorry [21:33] i want to connect rezzzosupppp [21:33] ikonia: thanks [21:33] It usually will install the missing deps [21:33] what do you do if the kernel doesn't recognize your wireless NIC? [21:33] hoooooow??? [21:33] Henkel, huh? [21:33] Flare183, Maybe I'll give it another go I already have the disk .. is there a server for 7.10 or should I stick with edgy [21:33] mmh [21:33] i'm sure everybody's favorite troubleshooter [21:33] you know quakenet? [21:33] frijolie: you find out if it's supported [21:33] sure u do [21:34] badkitty: ok [21:34] Does anyone know about squash fs? [21:34] Henkel: irc.quakenet.org? [21:34] mastermel, -f Attempt to continue if the integrity check fails [21:34] chris062689: yes [21:34] so rezosup is an irc serv like quakenet (jaja ure right) [21:34] @ikonia It's a RealTek [21:34] silentassumption: ok thnx [21:34] chris062689: i've never messed with it , but i know what it is [21:34] np [21:34] anybody speak french? [21:34] !french [21:34] @ikonia don't know the specific chipset [21:34] Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [21:34] frijolie: I didn't ask what it was, I said find out if it's supported [21:34] ikoni: is it possible to format a SD card with squashfs, and will that save a LOT of space if it's videos and stuff? [21:34] chris062689: you aren't going to get too much more compression on video files though [21:35] what about .isos [21:35] chris062689: you put squashfs where ever you want, you'll need a fair ammount of ram to uncompress it i [21:35] oh.. [21:35] Didn't think about that.. [21:35] Do you guys know any tricks to keep the space down? [21:35] Don't install as much. [21:35] @ikonia I've searched RealTek in the forums and it has walkthroughs for specific chipsets, how/where do you locate which specific chipset it is? [21:35] chris062689: re-encode the videos [21:35] chris062689: you'll also have to have squashfs support on `every` device you want to mount it on if you did that [21:36] so it's really not worth it. [21:36] hello [21:36] any1 has setup an IPSEC vpn client connection on gusty that knows which packages are needed? [21:36] chris062689: not for videos [21:36] hmmm [21:36] !wireless > frijolie [21:36] chris062689: if you were storing gigs of flat files then yes [21:36] frijolie: check the links ubotu just sent you [21:36] Is there any reason why I couldn't resize my partition? Anything obvious to check? [21:36] I only have a 2gb, and want to fit an entire anime season on there [21:36] mounted? [21:37] Which filesystem do you recomend I format the SD card? [21:37] chris062689: it doesn't matter === the_guy_who_wrot is now known as devinus [21:37] You're putting movies on an SD card? lol [21:37] whats an SD card? [21:37] I'm still having trouble with the internet on Gutsy. I tried logging on to the ISP manually with screen, but no programs noticed that I was connected. Any Suggestions? [21:37] MrTHaggar: as Bodsda said is it mounted? [21:37] @ikonia thanks, checking them out now... [21:37] Bodsda, it [21:37] What do you mean lol@!? [21:37] I have an EeePC [21:37] I can't fit much on it :( [21:38] Ackdar, what? [21:38] Well I'm using it now to write files to, and I can access it off the live cd, other than that I'm not sure how I'd check, I'm new to Ubuntu. [21:38] Bodsda, it's a memory card, designed by some company that I forgot, for use in cameras, wii, phones, etc. [21:38] chris, Why don't you get an external drive? [21:38] Bodsda, sorry, hit enter instead of ' [21:38] hey all Im using avidemux2 with gutsy to convert my avi files to mp4 but the resulting file is bigger how do i get it smaller like 4 to 5 hundred megs for my psp? [21:38] Ackdar, no worries,.ty,.,. so why put a film on it,. how silly [21:39] MrTHaggar: one thing to bear in mind is you cannot resize a disk that has been mounted so if you have it mounted a sudo umount /media/whatever will umount it and then you should be able to resize [21:39] If I unmount it whist I'm using Ubuntu running from it, will my system stop working? [21:39] Bodsda, I guess for easy travel... it's only about the size of 1/6 of a credit card [21:39] MrTHaggar, open a terminal and type man umount that should tell you how to unmount the device, or you can riht click-->unmount in nautilus if you start nautilus from terminal with ksudo [21:40] Bodsda he's talking about unmounting the root partition. [21:40] Thanks pike_ and Bodsa, but will I be able to unmount my only hard disk? [21:40] You know how ubuntu automounts USB drives? How do I do that from the command line? [21:40] Ackdar, yer, i think i no what you mean, but why use that, not a cd or usb stick,. formatting it will mean you cant use it in the camara again,.,.no? [21:40] Lettuc3, oh,.,.can you do that? [21:41] MrTHaggar, good question,.,.let me no [21:41] Unmounting your root partition while you're using it would be silly, if it's even possible. [21:41] Bodsda, correct... always reformat it for vFAT when youre done, though [21:41] Bodsda: hi !!! im back - no lag after i did what you said !!!!!!!! i love you man [21:41] Bodsda nopes, i was just pointing something out. don't tell me, i didn't ask the question. [21:41] haha, I'll have a play about, thanks :) [21:41] Bodsda, you can always* [21:41] * Bodsda is creeped out by Tiven [21:41] Bodsda i hope it continues to be like that forever !!! again , thank you buddie ! [21:42] Tiven, no probs m8 [21:42] asdrubal: I think nautilus normally mounts them in graphical mode, but I think usbmount can do the same thing without a GUI [21:42] hello [21:42] !hi| idoc [21:42] idoc: Hi!

[21:43] what bug [21:43] idoc: what bug is this [21:43] idoc, have you tried waiting? [21:43] lol [21:43] waiting usually does fix it. [21:43] asdrubal: I think it can be confugired to do that if it doesn't do it by default [21:44] Starnestommy, I unmounted a usb device... and I want to remount it without plugging it back in so that it's RW for normal users [21:44] asdrubal, how can you mount something thats not plugged in? [21:44] Starnestommy, I mean: without unplugging then plugging back in [21:44] oh [21:44] asdrubal, fstab automount? [21:44] !fstab [21:44] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [21:44] Bodsda, it already automounted.

I would like to analyse my application usage a bit. One of the ideas would be to move back from the list of installed packages (e.g. firefox) to their section/group (web for firefox).

[22:04] the farrest thing i did was retrieving signals from networks but no connection :( [22:05] Starnestommy : you want to help me once I get Ubuntu installed ? :D [22:05] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: I assume that you tried to connect under system -> Administration _-> Network, right? [22:05] {Nathan} i know but i have a lot to do too :( [22:05] not only that way [22:05] cli [22:05] the tray icon [22:05] <{Nathan}> okay, so did you try to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file and use ifup to bring up the interface? [22:05] Starnestommy : I've tried compiling on Fedora, but I couldn't seem to get it to work -that's why i'm trying Ubuntu [22:05] Can someone who's not busy help me with an install question?

[22:06] funnyfarm, Ask away dear chap [22:06] ndiswrapper is not a solution for me i need an open source driver [22:06] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: not really, it's up when you are connected. Edit the file and run "ifup " [22:06] <{Nathan}> err, with a sudo :p [22:07] what do i have to include [22:07] ? [22:07] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: do you have an open network? Or is it encripted? [22:07] I guess I was just asking if anyone was free. Anyways, I'm working off the liveCD and I can move the mouse cursor, but I can't seem to click. Is it frozen, or just a problem with hardware? It worked fine before [22:07] open [22:08] LiveCDs can be dodgy, just restart. [22:08] I was in the middle of an install... [22:08] Is there anyway to make "DesktopConsole"(title name) not show up in awn? [22:08] Hey everyone I have a quick question about Restricted Driver updates [22:08] <||arifaX> funnyfarm: try a ctrl + alt + backspace [22:08] Did you try pressing the tab button and using enter? [22:08] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: then you just need your essid. eg "iface wlan0 dhcp" then "wireless-essid blah" [22:08] funnyfarm : does the keyboard still work ? [22:09] any difference between server edition edgy and gutsy besides support? [22:09] <{Nathan}> soulrider: that's 2 lines, by the way [22:09] easiest way to change ubuntu 7.04 feisty to kubuntu and update to gutsy [22:09] ie. Is it still better to use edgy [22:09] badkitty: One is the server edition, and one is not. :D [22:09] {Nathan} u mean me? [22:09] <{Nathan}> yeah, sorry. [22:09] silentassumption, No there is a 7.10 server edition [22:09] I just reinstalled Ubuntu for the second time. Lastnight, I looked at the Restricted Drivers and it said that there was a driver update for my nVidia 6600, so I downloaded it, restarted Linux, and bam: my moniter said that the signal was out of range. [22:09] problem is i don't want download spare megabytes of gnome updates [22:09] Oh you mean, SE edgy and SE gutsy? [22:10] badkitty: id move from edgy to either the current release or the lts release [22:10] silentassumption, Yah [22:10] tantric132 : can you boot in safe mode? [22:10] <{Nathan}> jacek: is that a question? You want the easiest way to switch to kubuntu and upgrade to gutsy? [22:10] pike_, edgy is the lts isnt it [22:10] err : command line and then uninstall the driver? [22:10] Allright, I gave ctrl + alt + backspace a try. Is there a way to see if the install was finished? [22:10] It's most likely just more support and up to date. [22:10] {Nathan}: yes [22:10] {Nathan} i can't follow can u explain very slow and clearly [22:11] funnyfarm: Yes, restart. [22:11] badkitty: feisty === crdlb is now known as credible [22:11] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: open the file /etc/network/interfaces as root, eg gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces [22:11] guess ill just give 7.10 a go pike_ : Oh you may be right [22:11] Allright, restarting now. I'll still be on my other computer [22:11] amdbcg, this happened yesterday and I did not know what to do so I just reinstalled Linux(after all, I had just installed it for the first time anyway so I didn't loose anything but time). The resolution was set to something high before I restarted Linux(after installing the driver) so I think that the res was to high to be shown on my moniter but my question is, if it happens again, how do I recover without reinstalling [22:11] ubuntu [22:11] safe mode? [22:12] <{Nathan}> jacek: first, install kubuntu with "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" then remove all of ubuntu with "sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop", also, look at your PMs [22:12] Bodsda: it was a joke [22:12] <{Nathan}> !gutsy > jacek [22:12] * amdbcg is used to Suse [22:12] alright, i'm going to give it a go...i want to wipe a 160GB HDD which contains Vista and make the switch over to Gutsy [22:12] suse sucks way worse than ubuntu i can say that much [22:12] however, is there recommended sizes for the different partitions? [22:12] <{Nathan}> frijolie: good for you! What do you need help with? [22:12] {Nathan} ok what next [22:13] frijolie: why not just dual boot the thing? [22:13] tantric132 try logging on to a terminal (ctrl+alt+f1 for example), and have a look at your xorg.conf. [22:13] or is the default "use entire disk" alright? [22:13] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: now, what's the name of the interface? is it wlan0? eth0? what is it? [22:13] eth1 [22:13] frijolie: the default use entire disk, has always worked fine for me.. [22:13] {Nathan}: i know how to update, but that way requires me to update gnome which will be removed straight after switching to kde [22:13] tantric132 if it's something obvious, you can probably fix it by editing the file with nano. [22:13] frijolie: Gutsy is better than Vista in many ways than one, do you want to keep vista? [22:13] hi guys [22:13] I don't want to keep Vista [22:13] <{Nathan}> jacek: then do the things in the order I told you to [22:13] is Feisty a supported distribution? [22:13] this will be a new laptop [22:14] frijolie: havfe you used Linux before?.. don't cut your safety net completely [22:14] silentassumption: yes, it still is [22:14] Hmm, no sound applications can now play sound. The only thing I can think of is that I was afk for an hour, so the screen went into hibernate. [22:14] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: do you see a line that has eth1 in it? [22:14] Lettuc3, i'm brand new to linux and I know about the terminal, I just don't know what process and what commands to use incase this does happen. If this did happen, all I would need to do would be uninstall the restricted driver for my video card but idk how I would do that in terminal [22:14] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: if so, give it to me === funnyfarm is now known as funnyfarm299 [22:14] @IndyGunFreak: yes, i haven't used Windows for about 6 months now [22:14] frijolie: do the "Entire Disk" install if u wish to kill Vista [22:14] How can I run my own ubotu clone? [22:14] tantric132: Edit your xorg.conf file [22:14] where is its souce? [22:14] im in windows atm no connection with ubuntu :( [22:14] frijolie: 1. stay away from ati 2. stay away from broadcom chipsets [22:14] frijolie: oh ok, well then by all mean, kabosh vista..t hats what i did on my new laptop. [22:14] Any thoughts? Can I 'rescan' usb and Ubuntu can connect to the USB audio card again? [22:14] @Hellow isn't there recommended sizes for the /swap and /home directories? [22:14] wireless has been my only issue., i think my chipset is jsut to new [22:14] maximilion: just reconnect it [22:15] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: so you are writing this down? [22:15] tantric132 ah ok... maybe one of the other guys will be able to point you out in the right direction. sorry. :( [22:15] tantric132: sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf [22:15] sizes = partition space [22:15] yeah [22:15] does it really matter? [22:15] frijolie: swap, is generally 1.5-2x your memory... [22:15] guys, does feisty get security updates ? [22:15] frijolie: Well, swap i reccommend to be 1 Gig, and /home to be the rest of the disk [22:15] sobersabre: yes [22:15] frijolie: but like i said, i always just "use entire disk", and it works fine for me. [22:15] frijolie: if you wanna do suspend-to-disk, have swap at least the size of your RAM. [22:15] silentassumption, im guessing that would open some kind of doc? what would I do after typing that in? [22:15] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: well then, make sure you have a line that says "iface eth0 inet dhcp" then right after that, "wireless-essid youressidhere" [22:15] So, theoretically, my feisty ssh server should be getting the vmsplice bug fixed already ? [22:15] frijolie: old rule was swap twice ram but with modern machines its more swap = ram or a little more for suspend to work [22:15] tantric132: You can edit your resolution there. [22:15] @pike, yeah I've got an Intel965 Express, but just found out that I've got a RealTek wifi card that will take some tweaking [22:16] !rescan usb [22:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about rescan usb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:16] oh I see! well thanks bro! [22:16] firjolie, er, / to be the rest of the disk [22:16] 1.5-2x doesn't seem appropriate to me these days anymore. I'd cap it at 512 or 1024 MB.

[22:20] Nathan, www.sourpatch.org [22:20] hmm ... [22:20] <{Nathan}> silentassumption: lol... so tempted to link to goatse right now [22:20] <||arifaX> s0u][ight: i have 6715b and it only works with ndiswrapper and the redmond driver, but works good, (currently using it :) ) [22:20] does anyone know of a good HOWTO on the proper partitioning of a HDD? [22:20] i don't THINK SO. i said STOP [22:20] !ot [22:20] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [22:20] I don't think goatse is stil online. [22:20] Hey! [22:20] frijolie: what is the hd size? [22:21] sourcemaker maybe something to do with not purging vmware player? if i remember correctly, if the installer can't find an appropriate pre-compiled module for your distro/architecture, then it will try to compile one for you, but not otherwise. [22:21] well i need it to work with aircrack-ng suite [22:21] @pike_ 160GB [22:21] s0u][ight: Planning a hack attack? [22:21] naah security tests [22:21] Hah, that's what they all say. [22:21] s0u][ight, backtrack2 ??? [22:21] no 3 [22:21] Lettuc3: yes... I did not purge... only remove [22:21] "I'm pen testing my neighbours security" [22:21] s0u][ight, 3 came out? [22:21] Hmmm, think I should have went with the text install option, this fecking laptop is taking way too long to boot into the live cd. [22:21] beta very good [22:21] frijolie: 10 for / 2.5 for /tmp rest for /home i guess personally i like a small 10MB /boot too [22:22] i thought i gave enough clues with regards to "stop" [22:22] !ot [22:22] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [22:22] they got compiz etc. [22:22] frijolie: swap = ram [22:22] I can't figure out how to shut down the "X server" so I can install my nVidia drivers, can someone help me? [22:22] <||arifaX> s0u][ight: I think that might never ever work with broadcom in this notebook [22:22] btw. 7.04 have compiz or compiz-fusion [22:22] Hey I have a networking question. I have a box with one nic, and it appears as "eth1", but previously it was "eth0". I don't know what I did. What defines the nic names? [22:22] <{Nathan}> Soludra: hit ctrl+alt+backspace to restart the X server [22:22] BoD[]: magic. [22:22] ||arifaX they got new developments [22:22] silentassumption: also, sorry for taking so long to get my Flash to work with your site [22:22] sourcemaker i can't say for sure that's the problem, but it's something to think of... i dont think you'd have to compile it manually though. [22:22] like b43 driver instead of bcm43XX [22:22] <||arifaX> s0u][ight: sounds good [22:22] ffm: :) [22:22] BoD[]: in older versions there is a file in /etc/ but its not there in gutsy so not sure [22:23] {Nathan}, I don't want to restart it, I want to shut it down temporarily, so I can install the nVidia drivers, and then bring it back up. [22:23] That's what the directions say =P [22:23] right. bedtime for good this time. laters people. [22:23] BoD[]: maybe you plugged in a usb-ethernet or have another adapter (pseudoadapter)? [22:23] goodnight Lettuc3 [22:23] but the bad thing is they have to develop the drivers with reversed engeneering [22:23] Barack Obama voted FOR the Patriot Act, more funding for America's aggression in Iraq, and every increased spending measure he could get his lying articulate hands on. Hmmm lets add some more contradictions and exposed lies...... In the NH debate, he called for going into Pakistan. In many speaches he has advocated going into Africa for peacekeeping. (Sounds like that would be worse than Vietnam!) [22:23] the company aint helping [22:23] ffm: no I didn't plug anything new [22:23] Oh yeah!!! THAT WILL REALLY HEAL AMERICA. Keep on believing it Obamatards. You all will be sorry, as Barack Hussein Obama is no better than Clinton or Edwards. [22:23] no politics plz [22:24] ffm: the odd thing, when I look dmesg, it seems that it detects eth0.. It doesn't say anything about eth1 [22:24] damn i got to wake up early but i don't wanna sleep atm XD [22:24] s0u][ight: bad thing is when you kill alternator in genset which go to customer at friday [22:24] BoD[]: no idea then. [22:24] ffm: but then if I try ifup eth0 : no such device [22:24] oh [22:25] is there somewhere in /dev where I can see network adapters? [22:25] grrrrr hopefully i get my new laptop soon [22:25] <{Nathan}> Soludra: what version of Ubuntu are you running? [22:25] BoD[]: no [22:25] i'm gonna buy a fully supported one [22:25] {Nathan}: Gutsy [22:25] no hp for me anymore [22:25] How do you direct text at a specific person in IRC? [22:25] <{Nathan}> Soludra: if you run the restricted-drivers-manager then you can install the nvidia driver without shutting down X [22:25] Hi all [22:25] <{Nathan}> funnyfarm299: just like this [22:25] :( [22:25] s0u][ight: i have now sony vaio VGN-FE21B and everything work out of box [22:26] {Nathan}: I don't think the manager updates the driver though, does it? [22:26] funnyfarm299: or you do "/msg " [22:26] how much does it cost? [22:26] my friend is running feisty with a dual boot, multi-headed machine. he says its freezing randomely...any ideas on how to debug this problem? [22:26] funnyfarm299: like this? [22:26] Yes [22:26] i don't know [22:26] can u give specifications? [22:26] dookdook: checking the RAM with memtest would be a starter. [22:26] core duo 1,6GHz [22:26] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: or, if you get an older laptop the hardware is more likely to be supported [22:26] funnyfarm299: say someone's nickname in a message [22:26] funnyfarm299, I believe you have to be registered to do that though [22:26] I just close an unsaved document in openoffice. I think I have very frequent autosaves. Where can I find them? What do I do next? I'm afraid to open teh document lest I lose the autosaves, which I suppose are considered temporary files. [22:26] naah no oldies [22:26] 1G memory, wifi (intel) [22:27] what chipset? [22:27] say atheros [22:27] jenda: I think autosave is for crashes, not closing docs unsaved. [22:27] what is "binfmt_misc" in my mtab for ? [22:27] cosmodad: but they are saved somewhere, aren't they? [22:27] funnyfarm299: Thanks guys for helping me install [22:27] hi, i deleted my panel by mistake . I restored it manually but nome some functions are disabled (tray icon: programms just disapear etc.). How can I restore the original one?

[22:28] hmmm what driver do u use for it? [22:28] Whats the difference between the 710 Cd compared to the 7.10 DVD [22:28] ibou: nice thing for automatic loading windows binaries into wine [22:28] jacek: thanks a lot [22:28] i'm off cyaaa [22:28] unikon: the DVD comes with more software on it. which you can install from the internet anyway [22:29] jenda, you could check your .openoffice-org2 folder [22:29] cosmodad: there is, but no response... there is a file in .openoffice/backup ... it is a .bak file [22:29] kostkon: working on it.

All the files in /etc/modprobe.d are read as modeprobe.conf files.

When I start up the graphical interface (I come up to the login screen), the whole screen is pushed down and above it is junk color, and the screen is also looped around to the left (so the "screen border" is in the middle of the screen, and I can move the mouse off the left side to the right). X_X [22:51] FLUXxXx, it is IPv6 ready! [22:51] not me, a friend's [22:51] Ademan: so where do i look? [22:51] Anyone describe what difference is between openvpn and ssh? [22:51] FLUXxXx, same thing [22:51] stroyan: so is there any way to open up the file? [22:52] lsmod | grep ipv6 should be enough? [22:52] FLUXxXx: you shouldn't have to, it should already be turned on [22:52] hi, a install a program (LiVES) and everething ok, but the program don't run, the error message is "command not found", but, the "readme" file, says that the command is that.. === reZo_ is now known as reZo [22:52] Could someone share a big and nice sources.list? I'm a 7.10 user if that matters :-) [22:52] muramasa: lol, if you're looking for stuff to add i reccomend the bleeding edge wine repos, and medibuntu [22:53] I have a defect vmware-player installation. In adapet "vmware-player" is red... how can I solve the problem? [22:53] how can i get my webcam working?" [22:53] is there anybody who knows how ID3 tags work? [22:53] Ademan: there has to be some way to test it. for example, i tell my friend 'hey, check XX out, if it prints YES, your system is ipv6 ready, if not...." [22:53] SOMETHING [22:53] grawww: You can edit the files in /etc/modprobe.d/ Or you can add a new file in that directory to add more configuration lines. The change to a directory was intended to make maintainance easier. [22:53] muramasa: also technically you're not supposed to hand modify sources.list anymore, there's a directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ where you put individual files in for other repositories [22:53] umdoistres: so that means the command isnt in the $PATH. [22:53] can someone tal private message to me? anything... [22:53] No help for the guy who broke his graphics? >_> [22:53] FLUXxXx, run that command! [22:53] can someone please help me get my webcam working? [22:53] FLUXxXx: of course you can test it but i'm trying to say unless he did something to turn it off, it IS on already [22:53] pike_: and how ai concert this ? [22:53] !webcam [22:53] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [22:53] thank you [22:53] FLUXxXx: 6 is the standard install.. [22:53] stroyan: so when it says to add: "alias char-major-81 videodev", what file should that be under in modprobe.d [22:53] Ademan, Really? thats interesting.. good diea [22:54] Ademan, ah I see :-) Not too well adapted I suppose hehe [22:54] kyle__ ok im back [22:54] I have these impossible MP3 files that I cannot for the life of me tag so that my MP3 player can read the tags. [22:54] muramasa, tr0gd0r: yeah it makes it easier to add/remove repositories in an automated fashion without having to have a super complex text processor lol [22:54] umdoistres: what is this application and how did you install it? [22:54] its says (initramfs) [22:54] can aynone tell me something private or do u know if i'm stuck or not? [22:55] not sure if verything of irc works yet [22:55] Ademan, I like the idea, kinda reminds me of server site setups [22:55] So either i'm being ignored, or no-one knows what to do about my problem? [22:55] muramasa, tr0gd0r: if you guys look at the instructions for adding medibuntu or the wine repositories it follows the new convention (for instance medibuntu creates /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list and fills it with the data regarding its repository) [22:55] pike_: its the "LiVES" and i install for the "./configure" [22:56] !ask | Streetie :-) [22:56] Streetie :-): Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [22:56] Soludra: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg select vesa mode 1024 [22:56] stroyan: I guess it goes into "aliases", but how do I "activate"? do i need to reboot for changes to modprobe.conf... or do I need to do something else? [22:56] Ademan, didn't know that actually :-) thanks for telling me about it [22:56] grawww: You should have a look in /etc/modprobe.d/aliases and in particular the lines that refer to videodev [22:56] Jack_Sparrow: I already did the reconfiguring stuff. It didn't help. [22:56] np :-) [22:56] Ademan, Hmm I never saw that... is that from medibuntu site or ubuntu site? [22:56] tr0gd0r: medibuntu's, one sec [22:56] Soludra: what did you set it at? [22:56] Ademan, That must be brand new [22:56] umdoistres: ok so you did a ./configure? did you then type 'make' ? [22:57] Jack_Sparrow: I had to go through the whole configuring thing, there was a lot to set. [22:57] tr0gd0r: it's kinda the successor to the plf repositories, it's got all those packages that no one else dares host :-p (like w32codecs and libdvdcss2) [22:57] Soludra: Did you set it to vesa card and 1024 max [22:57] kyle - think modprobe.conf has been replaced with the seperate files in the directory /etc/modprobe.d - see man modprobe.conf for more details [22:57] pike_: how i finish the installation ? [22:58] stroyan: ok, so this line says: alias char-major-81-* videodev [22:58] Um.. I don't think so. I set something to nvidia (cause I just installed drivers from nvidia). [22:58] stroyan: does the star mean anything? [22:58] grawww: You may be able to get a configuration change to apply by using 'modprobe -r module; modprobe module'. But you should always try a reboot after editing a file like that to see what you broke. [22:58] Jack_Sparrow: Um.. I don't think so. I set something to nvidia (cause I just installed drivers from nvidia). [22:58] Ademan, I have those installed ;-) I didn't notice where it installed to though...very neat [22:58] Soludra: Then you didnt listen, which makes it hard to help you [22:58] umdoistres: do you have a readme or install file in the directory? [22:58] tr0gd0r, muramasa: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu http://winehq.org/site/download-deb you'll notice they both create /etc/apt/sources.list.d/.list :-) [22:58] umdoistres: ls command to see [22:58] whenever i try to boot ubuntu from the disc, I end up at a prompt that says (initramfs) [22:58] k i'm done now :-p [22:58] Jack_Sparrow: It's kind of hard to read things from ircII, sorry. [22:59] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg select vesa mode 1024 [22:59] alright. [22:59] hey quick question, how do u check conflicting packages? [22:59] umdoistres: generic answer is 1. ./configure 2. make 3. sudo make install [22:59] i'm having some problems playing dvds ... i _can_ play them, but the quality isn't too good ... what does "No accelerated IMDCT transform found" mean ? [22:59] Ademan, Yeah I see. [22:59] Soludra: Once you get into gui, you need to post your xorg.conf and run a few tests. [23:00] hey guys i am kinda stuck i reinstalled fedora and i decided to install grub into the mbr, now i can't boot at all into ubuntu === tr0gd0r is now known as ph0rensic [23:00] Solundra left Jack_Sparrow === Wanderer is now known as Nomothetes [23:00] how do u check conflicting packages? [23:00] hi all [23:01] how do you scroll up in irssi? [23:01] grawww: The star is a wildcard matching any string. (See 'man modprobe.conf' again.) I would guess that you want to comment out the original line as it competes with the lines listed on the URL you are using. But this video config doesn't look familar to me. [23:01] pike_: and how is the sintaxe of "make" and "sudo make install" ? [23:01] what exactly do you want to find out [23:01] grawww: pg up [23:01] ambrose - you can check in aptitude. For any give package press enter on it and in the bottom half of the screen it should give you a list of packages that the package depends on / conflicts with etc [23:01] mohbana: so grub on the first 512 bytes of the disk is now pointing to the boot dir on your fedora box you either edit that menu.lst or rerun grub install in ubuntu so it can rewrite the mbr to point to its boot/grub dir [23:01] How can I tag my MP3 files for my MP3 player? They normally work with files I download, but stuff I rip just doesn't work will enough. Must be the apps I'm using. [23:01] grawww: you can also use the /scrollback command [23:02] #windows is not answering and my girlfriend seems to think Im her personal tech support. can ANYONE get her off the phone so i can play final fantasy again, just by telling me whether to log into "i386" or "miniNT" from the recovcery console?? [23:02] well my friends repos are jack so we cant install anything [23:02] is there a way to get ure files from ure windows HD and load em into ubuntu? [23:02] umdoistres: ./configure; make;sudo make isntall <-- might work might not [23:02] seems he doesn't see my files [23:03] how install restricted driver for ati 9100 pro? [23:03] whenever i try to boot ubuntu from the disc, I end up at a prompt that says (initramfs), why is this? [23:03] Jack_Sparrow: it's really only _just_ better enough to be able to get on mIRC instead of going back to ircII. I still have a kind of large row of junk data at the top of the screen, and the screen still loops horizontally. [23:03] * vasilisa looks around for help [23:03] mohbana: To get ubuntu and keep fedora you should ask in fedora on how to edit the grub config grub that their installer setup [23:03] come on guys [23:03] any thoughts guys [23:03] cellofellow - there is an excellent package called easytag for tagging mp3's, ogg vorbis files etc. it also lets you do batch renaming of files etc based on the entries in the tag [23:03] i mean i tried juss about everything [23:03] cellofellow - just sudo apt-get install easytag [23:03] Soludra: miRC ? what os are you in? [23:03] danand_: I know EasyTag. Is there somewhere I can get advanced help on the thing? It has a lot of settings and some things just aren't working. [23:03] is there a way to get ure files from ure windows HD and load em into ubuntu? [23:03] Ubuntu. With Wine. [23:03] seems he doesn't see my files [23:04] Jack_Sparrow: Ubuntu. With Wine. [23:04] ... [23:05] is there a way to get ure files from ure windows HD and load em into ubuntu? [23:05] seems he doesn't see my files [23:05] Can anyone explain the difference between VPN and SSH? [23:05] Soludra: post your xorg to the pastebin.. not in the channel.. identify what type of video card you are using and install xchat or something so you are not running wine and complicating the problem [23:05] ph0rensic: A VPN is an encrypted tunnel creating a virtual LAN over a WAN. SSH can be used to encrypt that tunnel but so can other systems. [23:05] streetdevil: Please do not repeat [23:06] Im running into a lot of keyboard lag is there anyway to reduce this? as i type something it sometimes takes a while to acctualy show up on the screen for instance i can finish typing a whole word and then it will pop up. [23:06] ah soz but 'm new into ubutu and didn't think u guys saw it [23:06] xeom: then something is wrong.. that is not normal [23:06] ph0rensic: SSH is primarily for remote shell login with encryption. Like an encrypted Telnet. [23:06] cellofellow - can be a bit intimidating at first ... try man easytag or visit the homepage for help [23:06] ph0rensic: A vpn is a transparent mapping of IP addresses to another network. ssh is most often used for a shell connection. It can also tunnel one particular port at a time to a machine on another network. [23:06] i acctualy have to turn off repeat keys because its so bad [23:06] xeom: What are your hardware statistics? [23:06] danand_: ok. [23:07] * tcpdumpgod tips his hat to Jack_Sparrow [23:07] amd 5600+ 2GB ram 8800GTS [23:07] stroyan, Are these two apps used in conjunction with eachother or are they used : either/or? [23:07] i would like to install linux-image-2.6.20-15-386, but its saying it can't find it...suggestions? [23:07] cellofellow - stick with it though - its very powerful and worth the effort - luck [23:07] Ok... === Sol is now known as Soludra [23:07] keyboardis a old logitech i had laying around [23:07] I would say your swap is not mounted... [23:07] umdoistres: its really not advisable when youre newer to ubuntu to go outside of the ubuntu packages. if i were you id consider just looking in synaptic for something that suits me [23:07] xeom: wired or wireless? [23:07] whenever i try to boot ubuntu from the disc, I end up at a prompt that says (initramfs), why is this? [23:08] cellofellow, So If I want a graphical remote session use VPN and a console use SSH or am I confused still? [23:08] danand_: easytag isn't that hard to use really. It tags my files just fine. It's just they end up formatted ever so slightly wrong and my SanDisk Sansa e250 doesn't read them. [23:08] Jack_sparrow:wired [23:08] ph0rensic: You can ssh through a vpn. I don't know of a vpn that relies on ssh as its transport. I suppose it could be done. [23:08] watchforice: sounds like a bad disc [23:08] xeom can you please run the command "mount"? [23:08] honestly? [23:08] watchforice: Hardware not recognized or bad burn or bad download [23:08] And post your output [23:08] omfg [23:08] Xavieran: Yes one second please [23:08] :( [23:08] Jack_Sparrow: I'm on xChat now. And I've been working from the command line (with the graphical desktop off) because of these screen problems, which meant I couldn't properly do anything. [23:08] dookdook: make sure you have the feisty repositories enabled. [23:08] Ok... [23:09] ph0rensic: you can do graphics with SSH too. No, VPN is more of the lower-level TCP/IP stuff, not remote control systems like SSH, VNC, or PCAnywhere. [23:09] watchforice: Reburn at a slow speed 4 or 8 or get the alternate [23:09] ph0rensic: ssh -X can do a nice job of forwarding X clients to an X server on the other side. But it isn't really suited to a full gdm login. [23:09] Soludra: Post your xorg to the pastebin [23:09] xavieran:Done what information do you want from the output [23:09] ok i will try that [23:09] thank you [23:10] Jack_Sparrow: Where's my xorg? [23:10] cellofellow - oh - could always buy a new mp3 player :) [23:10] ph0rensic: ssh -X is not that bad, but needs a lot of bandwidth. [23:10] danand_: I just got this one. [23:10] I tried the mini install cd the other day it worked like a charm only 9MB [23:10] VPN is a "virtual private network" meaning... you're getting an internal IP (from your office or wherever). [23:10] cellofellow - :( [23:11] tcpdumpgod, I see thanks [23:11] Soludra: etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:11] no problem ph0rensic [23:11] cellofellow, so if I want to access a graphical session of a remote computer whats the way to go [23:11] xeom:Sorry for the wait...just the output into pastebin [23:11] ph0rensic: rdesktop and terminal server client [23:11] ph0rensic: no, VNC or FreeNX are better for that. [23:11] ph0rensic, that depends on how the remote network is set up. [23:11] Jack_Sparrow: same thing [23:12] If your machine isnt behind a firewall, you can just do X11 over SSH. [23:12] xavieran:http://pastebin.com/d699c6730 [23:12] tcpdumpgod, Well lets say it is over the inter.. i would prbably want vpn with terminal server client? [23:12] eom:ty [23:12] xeom:ty [23:12] yes ph0rensic [23:12] ph0rensic: it's better to forgo the encryption when you are on the LAN. Way faster. Use just regular X11 networking stuff like XDMCP. [23:12] for security reasons. [23:13] how do i set a static ip i need to transfer from a older ubuntu system to a fedora system from crossovercable [23:13] Yeah, if you're on a LAN. [23:13] If you're accessing your machine from home, then i'd VPN in and do X11 over SSH [23:13] xeom:Just as I thought...your swap partition is not mounted...just to be sure ,however,could you also paste the output of the command "cat /etc/fstab"? [23:13] tcpdumpgod: that'd be double encryption which would be way slow. [23:14] yea i acctualy didnt make a swap partion wasn't sure i needed it. One sec for that other part [23:15] Jack_Sparrow: http://rafb.net/p/BsN98I63.html [23:15] xavieran: http://pastebin.com/d62103dde [23:15] [Q] Is there a way i can squash all files in my windows partition so i can shrink it, create another partition in the space and install ubuntu [23:15] xeom:You definetely need it! [23:16] cellofellow, tcpdumpgod Jack_Sparrow : So overall.. say if over the internet use vpn then use a terminal service or xdmcp, and if inside lan just use terminal service or same xdmcp? [23:16] Xavieran: ok what would be quickest way to edit the partion and make one? as well how big should it be? === hoarycri1ple is now known as hoarycripple [23:16] ph0rensic: you don't need a VPN per se period. I would use SSH for the Internet though. [23:17] VPN's are devilish to set up. [23:17] Soludra: line 81 I doubt the real specs are that high.. double check that [23:17] . [23:17] xeom: You will need to boot into the livecd and create a swap partition...with the amount of ram you have I would say 2gb would suffice... [23:17] how do you send user specific messages? [23:17] ph0rensic, all VPN is for is to give you an IP from a remote lan. [23:17] Jack_Sparrow: How do I check that? *sigh* [23:17] is it "@username"? [23:18] frijolie: like this? [23:18] cellofellow: http://www.techmongrel.com/29/remote-desktop-ubuntu-710-from-windows/ is one help page [23:18] cellofellow, Ok I see [23:18] yes, Starnestommy [23:18] xavieran: i thought i wouldnt need any with 2gb of ram will do now thanks for the help [23:18] Soludra: google your monitor type and find the specs [23:18] frijolie: just say someone's nickname in the message [23:18] xeom:No problem... [23:18] Jack_Sparrow: I don't have a clue what monitor type I have, I'm on a laptop. [23:18] oh you don' t have to do a special format? [23:19] Starnestommy? [23:19] ph0rensic: that link was for you [23:19] cellofellow, So I should still be able to view x screens over internet using ssh and view shared folders info using the remote connection [23:19] has anyone had difficulty with audio CDs playing? Totem will play the first track, but won't play the rest, also the CD doesn't auto-mount, it has an "invalid mount option" [23:19] frijolie: usually, it doesn't, but putting the nickname at the beginning is best [23:19] ph0rensic: There are many different ways to use graphical apps. VPN can act like a new X server that you run your apps on. Or x11vnc can show you an existing X server on a remote console. vnc can use a ssh connection to tunnel its data. [23:19] Soludra: then goole your laptop or find a pdf orf the specs. the nvidia 8600's are not easy to work with [23:19] starnestommy: is it case-sensitive? [23:20] stroyan, Man all these options are confusing hehe.. [23:20] frijolie: usually, it isn't [23:20] ph0rensic: s/VPN/VNC/ Too man v** acronynms. [23:20] ph0rensic: may I have a quick pm ? [23:20] i have one server installed is there one way to send me for email ip address each hour ? [23:20] starnestommy: cool! I didn't think that it would be that easy.. [23:20] what command can I use to install all available updates through cli ? [23:21] speedhunt3r: apt-get update then apt-get upgrade [23:21] speedhunt3r: "sudo aptitude update" then "sudo aptitude updgrade" [23:21] speedhunt3r - type sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade [23:21] jack_sparrow: D'oh! [23:21] thanks guys...didn't know about that upgrade option. [23:22] join #ubuntu-classroom [23:22] join #ubuntu-classroom [23:22] how can I remove a broken apt installation [23:22] I can remove the vmware-player [23:23] got a strange problem, im running ubu studio 7.10 but want to do a clean install of regular gutsy so downloaded the live cd but when i boot from the cd it comes up with the login screen, what username/password am i supposed to use to login? [23:23] what is a good VM to run Windows in? [23:23] Jack_Sparrow: I can't find my screen's horizontal sync >_< [23:23] VMware? [23:23] super_rad: I think ubuntu and ubuntu or ubuntu and password [23:23] frijolie: vmware, virtualbox, or qemu [23:23] frijolie, VMware Server so you can do you own install. [23:23] I have installed vmware from ppa and now apt is broken [23:24] Is there some way to stop kcontrol from polluting the GNOME menu? [23:24] right thanks, i'll reboot and try those, if they dont work i'll come back [23:24] anyone ever get intel turbo memory to work on linux? i want to install linux on the intel turbo memory in order to reduce my boot time ;) (although i don't know if it has drivers or any way to access it) [23:24] nils: Kcontrol is a KDE app, it will always pollute GNOME [23:25] holle [23:25] thotypous: o.O [23:25] noolness, not sure about that memory.. does it normally come up as a HD partition? [23:25] is there any place on the ubuntu forums to request a program? [23:25] Scunizi: nah not that i see, [23:25] noolness, is it like cmos? [23:26] noolness, or flash ram? [23:26] Scunizi: it's some sort of NAND flash device [23:26] Feck, this install aint going too great. [23:26] noolness, you might use a copy of gparted live and see if gparted will "see" it as a partition. If it can you might be able to install to it. [23:26] Scunizi: windows vista uses it to cache stuff so returning from hibernate and other things are faster (basically readyboost on crack) [23:26] frijolie: very annoying [23:27] nils: yes, I used to be an Amarok fan until all those "Ks" infested my entire computer. I gave up and reinstalled and am now using Exaile because of it [23:27] noolness, I always thought (for the last 3 years) you aught to be able to put the boot portion of a system into flash.. it really would make booting faster. [23:27] hi all :) [23:27] well it should come up as sdx or hdx right? [23:27] noolness, yep [23:28] I have 3 problems so I will be here a while but let's start with the first one [23:28] noolness, probably sdx [23:28] Scunizi: yeah this should be possible in theory but the drive doesn't come up...so i assume there are no drivers (came up dry with some googling) [23:28] hi, i have problem.. my sound in ubuntu skipping all the time.. i cant play music..even system sound skipping.. what could be wrong? [23:28] my sound was working fine.... but it was too low, then I reboot and now no sound, what's going on? [23:28] i have sda, sda1, sda2 and sda5 but they would all have to be my hard drive because they are the same drive i guess [23:28] quit [23:29] are there known problems with a vmware-server installation? [23:29] Xubuntu and Kubuntu are ubuntu with just different display managers? [23:29] Hey all. I was wondering if someone could give me some help with GIMP. I notice that the inactive padding area takes the same color as the background for your theme. Is there a way to set this independently of the system theme? [23:29] I can't remove my vmware-player installation... !!!! What's wrong? [23:29] apt-get remove not working [23:30] speedhunt3r: yes, but they've also got different file managers as well. [23:30] sourcemaker: what does apt-get say when you try? [23:30] ni1s: reinstall the application [23:31] Hi ;~) [23:31] Can anyone help with my GIMP troubles? [23:31] Yoda, whats up? [23:32] speedhunt3r - yes Xubuntu uses XFCE desktop (like a lightweight Gnome - V good on older hardware) and Kubuntu uses KDE desktop (heavy weight desktop - seen as being a bit friendlier to people migrating from windows) .... but i like Gnome! [23:32] Gnome!!! [23:32] Bodsda, the inactive padding area of GIMP is taking the same color as my system theme's background. However, my system theme is white, and that's not so helpful for the inactive padding area. Any way to change them independently? [23:32] gnome is better.....FIGHT ;) [23:32] Yoda, only if there was a colour settings in GIMP, lemme check [23:32] actually i don't like either one that much but gnome seems to be the lesser of two evils for me ;) at least it doesn't crash [23:33] Bodsda, alright thanks. There wasn't one that I could see, but I might have been looking in all the wrong places. :p [23:33] Yoda: Try going to System>Preferences>Appearances and try changing your themes background color to something a bit more readable... [23:33] man GIMP looks very good but i have no idea how i would get started because i'm not talented in image editing and all [23:34] Yoda, file-->Preferences [23:34] server madito.es [23:34] xavieran, I don't want to change my background color JUST for Gimp. I'd rather have them independent of each other. [23:34] Thanks Bodsda, I'll check it out. [23:34] speedhunt3r: then it will work just as well as any other image editing program for you ;) or you could google "gimp tutorial" [23:34] speedhunt3r, I started out by just using it every now and again when I needed to and then started to get pretty good at it... [23:34] dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq vmware-player: invoke-rc.d: initscript vmware-player, action "start" failed. [23:34] speedhunt3r: gimp is intimidating to everyone at first :) [23:34] xavieran, clever, stomped by the fact GIMP doesnt have a tab caled System [23:34] Yoda, you might try on the GIMPNet server #gimp [23:34] speedhunt3r, you could also try krita [23:35] Anyone here running ubunutu on sparc box? [23:35] Gimp manual can be downloaded at http://docs.gimp.org/ [23:35] Scunizi...uhhh....could you give me a rundown on how to navigate there? I'm at a complete loss when it comes to IRC. First time I've used it. [23:35] Yoda: I do think there is a setting for changing how gimp represents transparency...somewhere [23:35] hello all! Need help with Wireless LAN [23:35] Yoda: type /join #gimp [23:35] Yoda, what client are you using.. xchat? [23:35] JJBuntu, help us, to help you,.,. use an 'Explanation' [23:35] yes, Scunizi [23:35] GL Screensavers cause X to crash with Compiz, any way around that? [23:35] Yoda: type /join #gimp [23:35] alright, there we go. Thanks Xavieran. I'm not looking for representing transparency though. [23:36] What's the #1 problem newbies have with par2 file repair and verification? [23:36] Ok... [23:36] Yoda, you found the appearence bit? [23:36] nomopofomo, not knowing what par2 file repair verification is [23:36] Bodsda: Oh, I see. The Canvas padding mode, no? [23:36] Yoda, CTRL+C then look for GIMPNet. Once logged in type /join #gimp. Evolution help is also there #evolution. [23:37] Yoda.. sorry CTRL+s [23:37] I had wine working few hours ago, i rebooted my computer and now i cant get any of wine to work. I have tried removing and installing again but still nothing. [23:37] Yoda, you do or dont want the canvas padding colour? [23:37] I have a really weird problem... the password for my hotmail account has a > ´ < apostrophe symbol in it. I can not log on to my account from ubuntu, but I can do it when in a terminal session to my windows machine. From what I have seen, my keyboard is set up correctly and I can even type and copy my password from a text editor, but I still have a problem. Anyone know what is wrong? [23:37] Bodsda, why do you suppose I can't get gpar2 to repair my split files? [23:37] Wireless LAN help needed: I have a Dell laptop currently running on 6.06 Ubuntu. When going to network settings it sees a wireless LAN card "not active", I activate then type in the name of the router and pass - no connection. The card in my comp is Broadcom BCM4306 [23:37] dabbill: Wine from our repos or another source [23:38] nomopofomo, i was saying i dont know what that is [23:38] [Q] Is there a way i can squash all files in my windows partition to the start of it so i can shrink it, create another partition in the space and install ubuntu [23:38] Bodsda: I got it. I wanted the color, but just not white like my theme. I got it all set now, thanks. [23:38] Bodsda, haha. [23:38] dabbill, you remembered winecfg ? [23:38] Yoda, ok cool,., [23:38] Does anyone here know anything about par2 repair/verification? [23:38] solexious: you'll need to defrag your windows from within it [23:38] nomopofomo, haha,.,.wtf?

[23:40] i believe so bodsda [23:41] Thanks guys, that looks like a step in the right direction. I was thinking of using the ndiswrapper but this might save that. One more question - would the 4306 card support WPA2 security? [23:41] vipaca, yep.. for help on that you might try #ubuntu-server [23:41] Jack_Sparrow, yes [23:41] dabbill, after you install wine,.,. you have to type winecfg [23:41] JJBuntu: not sure... [23:41] dabbill, ls -l /usr/bin/wine? [23:41] If anyone knows anything about troubleshooting par2 file repair, please let me know :) [23:41] sea_predator: Is ther any chance you were banned? [23:41] nomopofomo, will do [23:41] Jack_Sparrow, No I dont think so [23:42] exec: 29: /usr/bin/wine: not found when i type winecfg [23:42] sea_predator, you could ask in #ubuntu-ops [23:42] safiyyah, what's wrong with your sound? [23:42] nomopofomo: you are using the command line tool? [23:42] sea_predator: /msg nickserv identify password then /join ##java [23:42] bloody heck Im about to give on ubuntu on sparc box [23:42] presuming all variables are coorect, can someone tell me why something like this doesn't work in a bash script: ALL_DBS="$(mysql -u $USER -h $HOST -Bse 'SHOW DATABASES' -p)" [23:42] -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14766 2007-10-10 15:22 /usr/bin/wine [23:42] jeff1, I'm actually using gpar2. [23:42] this confounds me [23:42] dabbill, then its not installed ,.,. audo apt-get purge wine && sudo apt-get install wine [23:42] Anyone know where I can get a binary installer for gtk for windows? I know this chan is for ubuntu,but a link would do fine...I did try gtk.org but the "installer" I downloaded was a .zip file with some stuff in it...:( [23:42] audo=sudo [23:42] vipaca desktop does, I'm sure the server will. That support is built into the kernel [23:42] besides dell laptops, anyone else know of any cheap models that work flawlessly out of box from say Lenovo, HP, Acer for an example? [23:42] nomopofomo: sorry never used that. i suggest the command line tool. for me its the easiest program to use for par files [23:43] xavieran, ##windows [23:43] Starnestommy, password should be like [23:43] Bodsda: Yessir! [23:43] sea_predator: if you registered it with the < and >, put them in [23:43] xavieran, thankyou [23:43] still the same bodsda [23:43] does anyone know of a good howto to show me how to configure conky manually? i've been googling with no results...only readymades [23:43] xavieran, check out http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/modules/news/ [23:43] xavieran: gimp would be a good spot since it requires gtk [23:44] dabbill, download directly from winehq website? [23:44] thanks guys, I'll check all that stuff [23:44] pike_, xavieran now that is good thinking! [23:44] i second pike_ 's thoughts [23:45] xavieran, does the zip contain precompiled binaries that you just need to run from a command line maybe? [23:45] Starnestommy, getting the message from NickServ unknow identity [23:45] has anyone tested a backup copy of ubuntu using remastersys? I tried it but when I click install it asks for a password.... [23:45] ty pike_ [23:45] sea_predator: ideentify [23:45] oreomike, if its for windows, it wont be that complicated [23:45] sea_predator: er, identify [23:45] kgx, its looking for a password from the prompt, but doesn't have access to stdin to get it [23:45] sea_predator: you are not banned, they say you timed out 40 minutes ago.. verify your are registered and try again. [23:45] I just found a little problem... Ubuntu´s default apastrophe is > ´ <, but for my work, I have some passwords that use > ' <... how do I default to this symbol as I am having a problem with my passwords! [23:46] oreomike:It has a few linu style folders containing libraries...I tried to run the .exe files that came with it but they all threw up dependency errors...ie,libgtk***.dll not found... [23:46] Jack_Sparrow, okie how should i verify , [23:46] does anyone know of a good howto to show me how to configure conky manually? i've been googling with no results...only readymades [23:46] !register [23:46] By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration [23:46] sea_predator: /msg nickserv identify ? [23:47] Right, I think I am having pretty big issues trying to install 7.10 on an acer aspire 3610 laptop. It takes an age to boot up the live cd (15 min+) I take it that is in no way normal? [23:47] Jack_Sparrow, if somebody is get banned then he cannot login to channel again forever or he can use different nickname [23:47] sea_predator, it bans ip [23:47] HangukMiguk: the best way to learn is on the fly by using already built conkyrc files and editing them yourself [23:47] sea_predator: some bans are nick-based, but most aren't, and bans usually are removed after a while [23:48] i want to get the size of a file using a shell script how can i do that? [23:48] ls -l the file maybe? [23:48] HangukMiguk: http://conky.sourceforge.net/config_settings.html [23:48] Jack_Sparrow, to register the nick, you're suppose to type those commands in this window? [23:48] phantomcircuit, i think ls -la also shows file size [23:48] sea_predator: this is all off topic in here... avoiding a ban.. is a very serious offense which is what changing your nick and trying to rejoin does [23:48] phantomcircuit, there is a bash scripting channel... #bash I believe [23:48] phantomcircuit: ls -lh filename | awk "{print $ 5}" i think [23:49] Time for lunch.. play nice [23:49] phantomcircuit: the 5 is for the fifth column [23:49] neverblue, dont link anyone to #bash for simple terminal commands,. the #bash boys are not n0b friendly [23:49] Jack_Sparrow, no way [23:49] lol [23:49] Akamaru: O.o [23:49] Bodsda, I haven't had an issue with them, so I see no reason not to, but thanks for the info [23:50] Hi all.
